• ART SEEN: Art installation in a school bus explored new frontier in space

  26-06-2018 20:48 via vancouversun.com
  I started thinking about space and what it means after seeing Inside Out at SiteFactory.
  Afterwards, as I was cycling home on a sunny Saturday evening, the phrase from the original Star Trek TV series popped into my head. “Space,” William Shatner as Capt. James T. Kirk says at the start of each episode, “the final frontier.”
  In the confident world of the 1960s, the science fiction space of Star Trek was very much a modernist creation. You explored it by going in one direc

  This decision is disastrous for wild salmon and communities all along their migration routes. Wild salmon are in trouble; First Nations, the Cohen Commission, stream keepers, hatcheries, commercial and sports fishers, tourism operators and municipalities could not be clearer about this. It appears that the provincial government is prepared to gamble with the very existence of wild salmon.

  British Columbians wondering what a proportional representation (PR) system could mean in this province don’t need to look much further than Victoria, said former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark.
  The current minority NDP government, which has the support of the B.C. Green party on supply and confidence matters, is a taste of what the result of a PR system could be in B.C.
