The MMIWG inquiry is underway in Vancouver, considered the birthplace of a national movement. But it almost didn’t happen. Remember when Harper steadfastly believed an Inquiry was unnecessary stating “We should not view this as sociological phenomenon, we should view this as crime” Over a thousand missing or murdered indigenous women in Canada. In 2014 APTN Investigates took a look at Harper’s roadblocks through the eyes of these “tough old guys” They combed the bush in a vast remote area in Northern BC for over a year. Searching for missing loved one Macky Basil Link to that story here:http://aptnnews.ca/aptn-investigates-full-episodes/season-6/

Russian Circles brought the heavy groove. Epic!🤟🏽 This is the best shot I could get. Apparently their fans are a tribe of giants. Truly, average height must have been 6 feet. And the beards man. Not the west coast hipster beard. The full on Grizzly Adams west coast down from the mountain beards. #PostMetal #greattunes🎵🎶 #greattimes (at The Biltmore Cabaret)

Plans are afoot to harness the sun’s power to build B.C.’s largest solar farm on the band’s Quilchena reserve, a project that would create enough energy for 5,000 homes and deliver up to $4 million in annual revenues to the First Nation community.

The farm would be 15 times the size of Kimberly’s SunMine solar installation on the site of a former hard-rock mine, currently the largest solar project in the province.

“We wanted to showcase something positive for the environment,” Chief Harvey McLeod told DeSmog Canada.

“Our members will go by and see this and know we are contributing to a cleaner, greener planet. We’re not destroying anything; we’re using the resources given to us by the Creator.”
