Yes they do, yes they have, and your riding may not be very green, but there are a handful of them that get quite a few votes (and win or come close) where people do donate. The greens also get the per vote subsidy given to all parties in BC based on the number of votes they get.

Most english conversations are conducted at 110-150 words per minute, unless you're a 1% level typist (or have a speech issue) you can definitely talk quicker than you type.

The fact that they've managed to hold on well despite the massive anti-incumbent feelings worldwide is actually quite an accomplishment. Governments have been flipping almost everywhere else lately as people try to blame global inflation on their local parties.

First, Second, Third Cousins have to do with how far up the tree you have to go to find a common ancestor. So someone with the same grandparent as you is your first cousin, someone with the same great grandparent is your second cousin, etc.
Once, twice, thrice removed is how far down they are in relation to your generation. So if someone is your cousin, and that cousin has a child, they would be the same type of cousin but once removed.

This riding is fucking stupid too, the re-districting really messed it up. There are two sizable population centers in it, but you cannot drive between those two locations without driving for almost an hour through other electoral districts.
Juan-de-fuca Malahat if anyone was wondering, it's essentially Sooke (and region) plus Mill Bay and Shawnigan Lake.

That depends on which flavor of Christianity you're looking at, but even the Catholics don't think they go to Limbo, the pope had an entire study done on it, and the result was "we hope they go to heaven but we don't know"
A lot of the other denominations don't subscribe to the original sin shtick, and therefore babies would go to heaven even without being baptized.

Except clearly any aborted fetus would immediately go to heaven based on what's written in the bible. In fact, heaven should be absolutely completely full of dead babies based on miscarriages, stillbirths, etc. if you believe that they get a soul at the moment of conception.
So that logic doesn't really make sense either. Which is par for the course.

It's pretty obvious that it's not just lag causing it it you look at the graphs. Look at Regan into Bush for example.

Nope, I work in finance departments for lots of organizations as a contractor. I've never seen it written as only a single year. I am Canadian though, so maybe it's just a Canada thing.

Why would they use single notation for a year (2024) if the fiscal year starts in 2023 and ends in 2024? I've always seen organizations that do that write it as 2023/24 or 2023-24

Just to be clear, they had not actually started harvesting anything.
The nurses and doctors noticed as he was wheeled into the operating room and called it off, a bunch of them ended up in therapy over the situation.
Someone fucked up by declaring him brain dead clearly. He does however have significant brain damage from the drug overdose that initiated the whole situation.

Let's just release some extra CO2 into these people's homes for a few weeks and see how they handle such an abundance of such a "foundational nutrient" on their health. Not too much, maybe a little over 5000 ppm or so should be good, I'm not suggesting we kill them or anything.

If demand exceeds supply, the whole grid will fail as the voltage/frequency drop trips all sorts of safety systems meant to protect the grid and the devices connected to them. Normally the supply and demand are continually balanced to avoid this.
If a major plant goes offline and you don't shut down equal demand at the same time (usually by disabling entire neighborhoods) then this is the result.

The article doesn't specify, but it appears to be a long term fuel issue. They have been trying to cut back for a while now, including with blackouts for various areas, but they finally ran out and/or the demand while it was on just crashed the system.
Restarting an entire grid is not easy either, it usually takes many hours even if you have fuel available.
The party of fiscal responsibility ya'll They say it will be caught up to with growth, which they've predicted to be above 5% per year... no way that happens, major banks are predicting sub 2% growth.
He stands by the party member who made derogatory comments about indigenous and Muslim people. Please judge him and find him wanting.
The title is a bit misleading and makes it sound like it's a one time payment. It's very different, he's promising to exempt up to $3000 a month towards your housing costs from income taxes. Starting at $1500 a month in 2026 and going up $500 a year for 3 more years. At the max, it would be a $36,000 a year tax deduction which is absolutely massive, that's half of the average family income. Great idea? It's complicated, but probably not a good idea. When you make something "cheaper" for everyone like this in a supply constrained market, all that does is drive up the prices of rents and housing sale prices since people can now use that freed up money to pay more for those. Also, his plan to pay for this multi-billion dollar plan is: “Obviously, we need to take a look at this reckless spending that David Eby has put in place in terms of how to sort of rein in some of that spending,” said Rustad. So that's not really "fiscally conservative" at all.
This asshole is literally a conspiracy theorist. He says it was about controlling the population, not stopping the spread of the virus. Which countries (and even provinces) had the fewest covid deaths per capita? Oh.. the ones with the highest vaccination rates. Everyone with a brain knows vaccines reduce illness, that's why we have the fucking things.
Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish "bad" patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.
Extremely unfortunate situation.
Intent to injure? Based on that call, any sort of pushing or shoving should be called.
Unfortunately, it looks like he's going to elected in a couple years. I just hope people remember after a term of the Conservatives cutting important environmental policies like the carbon tax, that they will have failed to make like more affordable AND fucked up the environment more. The conservative parties that won in the UK didn't manage to make things more affordable, the conservative party that won in Australia didn't manage it either, no party anywhere has managed it. This crisis isn't caused by local government zoning policies, approval red tape, or anything else that the parties are talking about. It's caused by landowners (including people who own only one property) using a home as an investment. You cannot have homes appreciate in value faster than inflation (investments) and also have affordable housing. It's impossible. That's literally just a pyramid scheme. Until the government starts implementing policies that start reducing existing home prices, this will not be fixed. Building more units doesn't do this unless you build impossibly (literally impossible) large numbers. So stop voting with your emotions and vote with your brain.
In case anyone was wondering what happened at the grocery stores over the last couple days.
I love Mattias Krantz and his wacky music projects.
Somewhat clickbait title, it went from 80% to 89% of new unit starts for this one month period compared to last year. Apartment units have been the majority of new units for more than a decade now.
More technical issues. The ferries are starting to become a real issue here on the island.
