Hi All,

It’s game seven 3rd period tie game of the Stanley Cup Championship, last rock in the 10th end or game 7 bottom of the 9th inning whichever you prefer. We have very little time left to turn around extirpation of IFRS. Keep reading because each of you has something to do.

Auditor General letter 2017 October 26th

I got this idea to send a letter to the Auditor General from an email I received. I reviewed the Grizzly Bear report and found that if reads like a report that should be done for TRS except that I added the Auditor General for Canada as DFO is Federal Government department.

This is the email that i sent.

Good morning All,

Attached is my letter to the Auditor General for B. C and Canada.

Good evening All,

Attached is my letter of 2017 October 17th regarding Poachers on the Thompson River.

We can't keep status quo. We need to ensure that this unique species of Steelhead will recover to historical numbers. To do nothing is like hammering a nail in their coffin.

Tight lines.
