I’d like to commend the bucket list as most exceptional — with just one exception.
You can walk from the legislature up along the Gorge Waterway, probably the most scenic walk in the entire known urban universe, but alas you can no longer watch herring run at the Craigflower Bridge. Last spring only five were caught and nothing of spawn was seen.
If we could just get herring to spawn in the Gorge, the sea lions, salmon, halibut, whales, sea birds, raptors and more would return to the Gorge in spades. On another such occasion it was a tiny Yorkshire terrier that just took off in sheer terror. Each time I tried to find these dogs but they were nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps Monique Keiran is not old enough to have lived through the Premier W.A.C. Bennett years, now often fondly referred to as the Golden Age of British Columbia? Considering the amount of money B.C. contributed to Ottawa through equalization payments in our first Social Credit government’s 20 years in office versus what we received back from Ottawa in that same period, is it any wonder that Bennett often complained that B.C. was treated “like a goblet to be drained”?
