  1. $1,000,000,000,000.00 – $2,500,000,000,000.00 (on average)

    All that money goes toward Defense Spending, but you're going to tell me we cannot stock up on toilet paper, soap, and basic essentials for people currently deployed in an unjustified conflict?

  5. I'll post some belated stuff today; my last full day off before returning to work tomorrow.
    One of my search & rescue friends took me away for an off grid day hiking adventure yesterday & we got home last night.

    #Carmanah Point #LightStation was established in 1891. The first #lighthouse there was built of wood & attached to the keeper's housing. The present tower was built in 1920 of concrete & remains in operation. The area is said to be named for the upstream #Nitinaht village. It is said the name means "thus far upstream".

    In Summer 2024, #Canadian Fisheries & Oceans along with the #CoastGuard announced that the light station was seismically unstable & would be destaffed before the end of the year. On Oct. 25, lightkeepers were removed from the station. The decision to destaff the station has been met with heavy criticism from various local authorities, including local governments, indigenous leadership & industry leaders.
