Oil tanker loonie

In early February Dogwood Initiative, a Victoria-based environmental group, came up with the idea of placing a picture of an oil tanker on the loonie to draw attention to the danger of allowing oil tanker along British Columbia’s north coast.

Finally got hold one of the loonies the other day. It is too small for the camera to zoom in for a decent shot. But you can go here for a good close-up.

On strike

Didn't realized the paramedics in their effort to secure a contract from the government had place the words, On Strike" on the side of the ambulances. With the province's poor financial position the government is more than happy to postpone any contract negotiation as they know the paramedics can't actually go on strike to back their wage demand. Beside Gordon Campbell will plead empty kitty and no increase of any kind anyway.
