Ether in The Attic - Episode #128: Rad Relativity - 20160620

,

The relativity, in our city will obsess us to to a fault, our own hang ups, until we're wrapped around a telephone cord or our own shoelaces. Horrendous lobsters masquerade as honest practice and law abiding habits. We wish to extrapolate the gumption from proper footwear, but we won't until we realize that we can do without feet.

Two new building added to the city green power grid

IMG_0123.jpg

The city of Prince George is adding two new buildings to its Downtown Renewable System (DRES), Plaza 400 and Prince George Law Courts. The system is powered by Lakeland Mills wood waste that is a by-product of the production of wood materials. The city already powers numerous buildings with this kind of power including the new RCMP detachment and City Hall. The system heats water and pumps that to the buildings which then us it for heat and water. Construction is expected to begin last week of July and be completed by early fall. The carbon reduction is estimated to be about 1,820 tones per year. The reductions is the same as 350 cars taken of the road per year, roughly. This project is added to the many green energy projects in the community including the Bio Energy Plant at UNBC.

Project is estimated at $450,000 and is being fully funded by the Ministry of Transportation. The city will install the piping system to the buildings at a cost of $200,000. The project was started due to the fact that both buildings needed their boilers replaced.

Pride Walk built in Prince George

IMG_0105-e1465931405865.jpg

The Prince George Pride walk was built today near the Days Inn. The walk was unanimously voted in favour at city council. Prince George Pride Society pushed to get the walk built in the community. This is added to the pride flag which is being flown at city hall. The pride parade, which is taking place on July 9th, will certainly be highlighting the new cross walk. Feelings of how the city has changed over the years could be heard while the paint was being mixed. Composed of rock and reflective materials the paint is expected to last longer than traditional cross walk paint even in the winters of Prince George.

The walk was built days after a massive shooting at a gay club in Orlando, Florida which claimed the lives of 49 people and injured over 50. Outpouring of support has been happening all across North America, a vigil was held on Monday May 13 to show support for the victims and their families of the shooting.

Protecting businesses from competition totally sucks! Unless it's my business of course. :D TEAR DOWN THE COMPETITION, to this playlist. Alternatively, you could just amputate a wart, or some awful aspect of your personality to it instead.

How we vote: Government committee on electoral reform

voting-ballot.jpg

During the federal government election the question of whether first past the post is a fair system loomed over the liberal party's platform. Now Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have rolled out a committee on electoral reform. This committee is made up of all the parties in the house and after the recent pressure by the NDP now reflects the popular vote not the seat count in the House. The committee is made up of 12 seats, 5 Liberal (one is the chair), 3 Conservatives, 2 NDP, 1 Bloc Quebeco, 1 Green. This is based off of the NDP proposal that was championed by Skeena-Bukley Valley MP Nathan Cullen.

The Conservative Party has been calling for a referendum on this issue. They assert that this question no matter what the committee makes up looks like will be illegitimate if it does not have the consent of the people of Canada. This could be problematic for the committee since in order to get a resolution passed the liberals will need the support of 1 or 2 opposition parties.  The Liberals have also stated that they will reach out to Canadian but how that will look is still yet to be disclosed.

The Green Party and the NDP have been calling for proportional representation, while the Liberals tend to favor a system of preferential ballot. It is likely that the committee will move towards a proportional system but to which degree will depends on the committee.

The current system gives a preference to the Conservatives and the Liberals in elections. With the current system a party can win the most seats but loose the popular vote amongst Canadians. After the Liberals devastating lose in 2011 they have been in favor of a change to the system. It is likely that the electoral reform issue will not come back around until parliament is back in the fall.
