CASSIAR, UNA GHOST TOWN IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
2011-11-07 05:46:00 Sono stato un avido lettore di Jack Kerouac, che ho sempre identificato come franco ? canadese di stirpe bretone, in prestito alla letteratura americana. Ripeteva spesso che la cosa importante era andare, andare non importa dove.E? quello che faccio ancora adesso, alla ricerca del Canada perso, perduto, smarrito, il Canada delle ghost towns. La foto della chiesa cattolica di Cassiar situata al nord del British Columbia proviene dal sito abandonedbutnotforgotten, che riunisce molte persone che hanno il mio stesso interesse. Ricordare il passato e memorizzarlo, prima che venga completamente distrutto.Cassiar era una company town di proprietŕ di una compagnia mineraria che estraeva asbesto. Chiusa la miniera nel 1992, il paese che contava almeno 1.500 abitanti, fu abbandonato. Molte case furono rase al suolo, altre trasportate altrove ( Le avete mai viste correre sulle strade, ben adagiate su TIR stravaganti?).Restano soltanto i binari della ferrovia a scartamento ridotto per il trasp...
VANTO DELLA BRITISH COLUMBIA
2009-09-23 08:43:00 La straordinariamente affascinante Provincia del British Columbia non si accontenta di essere nota per la bellezza mozzafiato delle sue coste ed isole, laghi, montagne, delle sue cittŕ (tra cui Vancouver, la cittŕ dove si vive meglio al mondo!), della flora e abbondante fauna selvaggia, ? e qui ci sta bene anche un ?etc.etc.???? ma si vanta anche di aver dato i natali a personalitŕ internazionalmente note nell?ambito del cinema, televisione, musica e sport (? confessa, dai, che credevi che alcuni fossero ?americani? alias statunitensi!!!)HAYDEN CHRISTIANSON http://www.hayden-christensen.c-om/PAMELA ANDERSON http://www.pamelaanderson.com/M-ICHAEL J.

DELIZIE CULINARIE DEL BRITISH COLUMBIA
2009-07-14 06:48:00 In British Columbia operano i maestri della cucina West Coast, ossia della costa pacifica nordoccidentale. Nei loro piatti ricorrono gli ortaggi locali ed i prodotti del mare (cozze ed ostriche) ma ovviamente anche salmoni e trote. Un posto in menů trovano sempre anche i funghi che qui crescono abbondanti: spugnole, linaioli, geloni coltivati, shiitake e molti altri ancora.Le culture asiatiche hanno influenzato l?evoluzione culinaria del British Columbia. Combinando la semplicitŕ e la leggerezza della cucina dell?Estremo Oriente con le forti radici anglosassoni ed europee, il British Columbia si propone come patria della ?fusion cuisine? : i cuochi italiani preparano il risotto con i funghi shiitake, mentre gli chef francesi condiscono il pesce con il beurre blanc allo zenzero e aggiungono salmone affumicato alle insalate.Intanto i nativi hanno cominciato ad aprire i propri ristoranti dove i clienti possono assaporare grasso di oolichan (pesciolino ricco di grassi polinsaturi) e ban...

Trafficking in Disruption: Supporters of Vancouver?s Cocaine and Heroin Inj
2008-10-24 22:50:00 I have an insight. The block party Insite supporters held yesterday afternoon was an attempt to embarrass Canada?s freshly re-elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

McDonald’s v. the British Columbia Human Rights Commission
2008-04-17 11:24:00 I am not a lawyer, and I do not play one on television, but it seems like to me that a statement like this could be a cause for action, Ezra Levant: Don’t eat at McDonald’s on South West Marine Drive in Vancouver. Listen. I love McDonald’s, both for their food and for what they stand for philosophically. I thought that Super Size Me was a piece of anti-capitalist, anti-beef propaganda. But when you’re in Vancouver, skip the McDonald’s on Marine Drive. That’s because the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has ruled that one of the employees there has a human right not to wash her hands when working in their kitchen I do not patronize McDonald’s, and will not.  However McDs has a hard earned reputation for cleanliness.  McD’s earned their reputation and are entitled to the hard won fruits of their labors.    The British Columbia Human Rights Commission admits to knowing absolutely nothing about running a restaurant, or foo...

For No-Boarders in British Columbia, It’s No Bindings, No Problem
2008-02-15 07:23:00 By JESSE HUFFMANFeb 15, NY TimesTHREE miles into the Kootenay Range backcountry by snowmobile, I stood alongside 50 other riders, gathered at the bottom of a wide and untracked sub-alpine run. The mid-January snowpack was so deep in the Interior Mountains of British Columbia that the effects of logging were buried beneath 180 inches of powder — the downed trees, stumps and rocks all transformed by the bounty of snow into a snowboarder’s paradise.The conditions were extraordinary, and the crowd included Travis Rice, a professional snowboarder and multiple gold medalist in the X Games. But on this overcast Saturday, the draw was the third annual Greg Todds Memorial No-Board Race, and the challenge was simply to get down the hill — without bindings.No-boarding is a young sport that replaces traditional snowboard bindings with a knobbed polymer traction pad and a heavy-duty bungee rope, which transform a snowboard into a no-board.Read more this news quotephoto: A no-boarder execut...

Extreme Weather to Become Norm in British Columbia, Canada
2007-11-14 02:29:00 A windstorm that blew through much of southern British Columbia on the holiday weekend continues to be felt as tens of thousands of residents entered their second, and in some cases, third day without electricity.The storm, which whipped some places with winds exceeding in some places exceeding 130 kilometres per hour, plunged more than 190,000 homes into darkness, disrupted most forms of water and air traffic to Vancouver Island, and blocked roads with falling trees. Wild winter weather appears to be developing into a pattern in B.C., increasingly stormy weather patterns are here to stay. This is why it's important to prepare today for future storms.

British Columbia: Baseball Hotbed
2007-10-13 21:58:00 British Columbia: Baseball Hotbed With Colorado Rockies’ pitcher Jeff Francis currently in the post-season spotlight, it got me to thinking of another stud Canadian Rockies (former) ballplayer - Larry Walker - and why all these new studs (Jason Bay, Adam Loewen, Rich Harden, Justin Morneau) are coming from beautiful British Columbia. First off, let’s talk about the aforementioned Jeff Francis. To give you loyal MUD readers a sense of just how scarce it has been for Canadian pitchers participating in baseball?s post season, here is something for you to think about. With the Rockies’ win in Game 1 against Arizona, Jeff Francis posted his second consecutive playoff victory of the current season as a starter for the Colorado Rockies. It also made him the all-time leader in post season wins by a Canadian. With his first playoff win last week against the Philadelphia Phillies, the 26-year-old southpaw pulled into a tie for all-time post-season wins by a Canadi...

FUMO INVISIBILE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
2007-04-16 09:00:00 E? appena stata approvata in British Columbia, dove ancora il 14% degli abitanti continua imperterrito a fumare, una legge anti-fumo davvero drastica. E? infatti previsto che non si possa fumare in tutti i luoghi pubblici (uffici, scuole, palestre, bar, ristoranti, etc.) ma neanche nelle vicinanze dei punti di accesso a tali luoghi, prese d?aria o alle finestre, una specie di cordone di sicurezza a protezione del fumatore passivo. Giŕ in altre province esistono leggi antifumo simili secondo le quali non si debba fumare, per esempio, ad una distanza inferiore ai 4 mt in Nova Scotia o 9 mt. in Quebec da questi accessi.Qui lo scopo diventa ancora piů ambizioso: arrivare ad una visibilitŕ Zero.La legge prevede infatti che entro il prossimo gennaio siano bandite tutte le pubblicitŕ dirette che possano indurre all?acquisto ed anche quelle indirette, anche la sola presenza dei logo delle case produttrici da display, cartelli, accendini, cappellini, borse, etc. Nulla dovrŕ ricordare l?esist...
