The last email I sent out was:

2019-03-13 The Ombudsman will fail. They have a problem with “Trust” but fail to identify that the problems are INHERENT in the system. “Extractive Sector Corporate Responsibility“. SNC Lavalin, and who comes next?      http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=24156

Does this mean, as is so often concluded, that we can be “good” only in our private lives and that moral behavior must bend or break when we participate in the world’s work?

No, that demoralizing notion is nonsense. . . .  

FOR TODAY

2019-03-15  B.C. SUPREME COURT JUDGE SAYS  WATER IS A COMMODITY  

http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=24177

“there is nothing untoward about the City, who is a seller, setting a purchase price for its commodity.”

Ouch!    Maybe the Judge is timely – – at a time when we’re gearing up over  Agri-Food Canada – International Trade’s program to fund and support businesses that will expand the export of water from Canada. 

NEW, might be helpful to those looking for more detail:     Index.

2019-03-22 Yale Press Conference and “Science of Vaccine Forum” Features Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=24175

(God!  I want to weep every time I see more of the documentation regarding vaccine damage.  It is so tragic.  I can’t imagine what future generations will conclude about our intelligence.    There is lots of bona fide science with which to challenge the schtick c0ming through the media. Robert F. Kennedy is once again very good in the above video.

There are also lots of obviously-genuine videos of real life experience.  Yet another is this by a surgeon and his wife.  I can’t imagine how these people must feel – – they’ve failed their children – – with terrible, life-long consequences.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoIoERWVHgg    Please fight hard to at least maintain CHOICE whether to vaccinate or not.)

    Thank you for the interesting information . Question for you why are some people up in arms on the pipe line going thru BC yet it’s okay to pollute the waters of Victoria BC (sewage into offshore waters) .. Gee No one Complains about that ?? And another topic …..that puzzles me as well as the bottle water business. How many companies are making $$$ hand over fist and getting the water for next to nothing?

    • FROM: Sandra

      Yes – – two excellent points Mary Ann.

      Locally, we’re trying to get people to turn their gaze back on our own behavior.

      The cholera and then chronic norovirus in food coming out of the offshore water – – obviously from sewage that no one wants to talk about. Why? Might affect some property values (selling your home) if it becomes widely known.

      I understand it could hollow out a family’s major investment – – you try to protect that. People don’t like to inflict hardship on anyone, let alone their neighbours.

      It’s a balancing act between short term and long term; also between what’s good for the individual, and getting action on what is needed for protection of the greater good.

      Often, pressure from outside the local community is needed in order the get the hard task done – – BUT in my mind, it is most effective if there are some strong local people to work with. They need dedicated support.

      Sandra
