British Columbians are doing their best to buy BC when they can and they expect the government to do the same.
Now is the time to continue to support Canadian jobs, find new markets and develop strong ties with countries that aren’t threatening us.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.
TWENTY.
As in, they call that getting slammed.
So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

It’s finally time to announce that the very best boy BumbleTus is now ready for adoption. He is still a bit mouthy so older kids are best, and he needs a buddy (either another young kitty or even a friendly dog) to wrestle with (he & JJ are pals if you want two!) Elkton, MD crits4cats.petfinder.com
