Yup, in your neighbourhood? To your whining point, there will still be lots or wires coming from them. You do know we decide where we put hydro dams too eh??

If something illegal is being discussed, there are systems in place. I am quite sure you don't lobby for theft or murder LOL Well, actually, they can discuss anything but, can they get it done?

Yeah, lets clear an area and build nuclear reactors. Oh wait.... there will be lots and lots of high tension wires emanating from them too. Or, lets clear acres and acres of land and put up solar panels...oh yeah, include the wires from them too. Well, wind turbines, crap, they need wires too. OK aristides, let me know when we have wireless electricity to every building in this country. You know, when you have no valid point, let alone solution, you should quit

Whoops....change the subject to get out of your stupidity. Face it, the doc in BC is a recognized flake, even his family knows it and left him.

How many kms of hydro lines are needed by: Hydro Quebec in the Manicouagan Valley that goes to New York? And other Quebec Hydro projects that send power to New York and Ontario Or the Muskrat River dam in Labrador? Or from James bay. Seriously sir, think about your nonsensical questions.

Seriously??? We are not speaking about the supreme court of Bahrain The doctor in question is not in San Marino When you lose, you really fall in a deep hole LOL

Oh, because the government regulated your catch for years because you nearly fished out the species? And international as well as domestic organizations monitor your catch? LOL You are only doing it because your lobbyists could not get a better deal with governments LOL I am done. Happy fishing ....if you are in fact fishing.

Oh, like you. The one on the street that needs to know everything LOL

OK, you don't have to care what I believe. But the Supreme Court Judge does. So does the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons. So does College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC because he "contravened standards imposed under the Health Professions Act, including but not limited to the Canadian Medical Association’s Code of Ethics and Professionalism, " The only place he will ever be a doctor again is in some banana republic. Even his family has left him. The guy is an all around loser to everyone except to some zero credible anti vaxxers So, what I believe is.... moot. LOL

No we don't, it is none of your business what business is doing with government. Yup by making laws that those involved need and agree to. You desire for whatever it is you need, is not one of them an certainly not in by business Government is audited all the time by various agencies within and almost all it is in the public view. Who says they are falling behind? Or for what reason? I never said anything cannot be done. The fact of the matter though is why? Business is happy with status quo and so is government and your desperate need to know is meaningless. Lickspittles??? LOL Fact is business lobbying is and will be forever behind closed doors. If your business lobbys clients or customers or dealers (which I am sure they do) and all information is made public, do you really think you would be in business long? If your competitors know what and when you are doing anything and how much you charge, get or spend you will be closed in a minute. Your company has many many secrets. As a business , there is always something to hide, especially from competitors and often customers and clients. That's the real world. Anyway, far off the topic so. You be you and I will be right LOL

I would like to discuss land use.......or, meeting to discuss policy.... or, health issues. What do you get out of that?? The answer is nothing. There are many many ways of disguising discussions. You are being deliberately obtuse. You are just pi$$ed that you cannot find out what goes on behind closed doors. You are like that little old lady on the street that thinks she needs to know everything that goes on. LOL

I flew up and down the west coast for years (low level in a helicopter). There are lots of waterfalls right into the ocean. There has even been suggestions that this water be tankered and sent down to California. Point is, there are lots of rivers that can be turned into hydro sources.

As I said, you may not like it but, as the old saying goes, it is what it is and both parties seem OK with it. Whine and complain but, you have no right to know what goes on behind closed doors.

I do not believe it was "that scenario". He was judged by a Supreme Court judge and BC and Alberta College of Physicians on his total false, illogical and misinformation scenarios.

OK. I hope your paranoia does not filter into all areas of your life. There are no ambiguous definitions. Get over yourself. You have no right to know what a lobbyist is talking to an official about or if you know what they are talking, you have no right to know the details. Like it or not, the lobby registration legislation and act and format will not ever change to allow you to know details. Privacy is between the lobbyist and the official and secrecy is what they are talking about. https://www.oico.on.ca/web/default/files/guide-to-the-lobbyists-registration-act.pdf https://lobbycanada.gc.ca/en/rules/the-lobbying-act/

Mirriam Webster Secrecy: the habit or practice of keeping secrets or maintaining privacy or concealment. Privacy: the quality or state of being apart from company or observation Same thing... it is no one elses business. Also, I hope you are not one of those that is presumptuous enough to think you or the public has the right to know everything??

How long do you want this to go on? Realistically and legally and all that, lobbying is legal, can and will be done behind closed doors, always. My analogy may be one extreme to the other but they are in fact still the same thing. One person wants something from another. A lobbyist does not want a "wider audience", they want anonymity and to deal with as few people as possible to get what they want. Think about yourself and your daily dealings... you want anyone and everyone to know what you are doing and what you want and what you get? If you say yes, you are lying, even you keep things private. Thanks for the discussion, when you come to reality, we can discuss other things.

Does the person asking for more welfare transparent to you? Or the person that calls their city councillor for something going on on your street. Point is lobbying is not public and never will be public. No lumping anything with anything. No matter how little you like it or cry for transparency.

Lobbying is not and will never be "transparent". That would defeat the purpose of it LOL People take lobbying as an evil thing. Fact is, whenever you speak to anyone of any authority to assist you in any way, it is lobbying. Whether you are a poor person asking your welfare office for more or a developer asking for land. We all do it.

gawd dougie, get out of your basement and get with this century. Hitler was gone over 70 years ago and only losers like you keep citing him. There have been bigger and badder leaders since then.

I guess that is my point. The AG investigated and regard;es of "transparency and accountability" she got down to the nitty gritty, hence the recommendations. The auditor general made recommendations and the government accepted all but one (which may still be acted upon depending how much public pressure is exerted). gawd dougie, get out of your basement and get with this century.

Actually, it's the law of nature.

Like I said, you don't have to agree with me and I certainly do not have to agree with you. I vote housing over trees any day.

1. Nope. As I said, people over plants. Period. 2. How do you come to the conclusion I "devalue non-human life"? The law of nature is the strong survive. 3. In this case, in the 2 small areas that the greenbelt is losing land, it is needed. I do not need to agree with you and certainly do not need to agree with me. My point is people over plants. What you do not speak about is while 3000 acres at 15 locations out of 2,000,00 that will be for housing, is that over 9000 acres is being added to the greenbelt.

Huh?? Again, do you read your post before you hit submit?? LOL Bottom line is that the College of Physicians and Surgeons in BC and Alberta (and a sitting Supreme Court Judge) know more than you, no matter how you try and slice it. Google this flake...he is a zero.
