No Kings In Blaine
NO KINGS DAY protests took place all across the United states yesterday. Our closest neighbours right across the border in Blaine WA were out in force in downtown to join the ever growing movement in America.
Millions of Americans around the America yesterday took to the streets nonviolently to make it clear: Extolling their country belongs to the people. They do not answer to strongmen, greedy billionaires, or anyone wishing to rule through fear and violence. They have the power and are claiming it together.
Bruce Springsteen gave a performance of his protest song “Streets of Minneapolis” on Saturday at the No Kings protest in St. Paul, Minnesota, honoring the locals and commending them for their “hope” and “courage” amid ICE’s clashes with demonstrators earlier this year.
Following an introduction from Gov. Tim Walz, who called President Donald Trump a “wannabe dictator,” Springsteen took the stage at the Minnesota State Capitol to address the crowd. “This past winter, federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis,” he said. “Well, they picked the wrong city. The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis and Minnesota was an inspiration to the entire country.”
The Extreme Weather Alert issued for Surrey-White Rock has been extended.
Based on current forecasts, it is expected that this Alert will remain in effect tonight Sunday (March 29), and Monday (March 30) nights.
Don't Take Your Guns To Town Son
During a recent routine fare check at the Whalley GATEWAY Skytrain Station transit police discovered a loaded handgun with ammunition. The individual subjected to the random search also had outstanding arrest warrants when apprehended. He is now in custody where he will remain until he appears in court.
The particular SKYTRAIN along with the Whalley stop both have been of grave concern to authorities as well as individuals using rapid transit from Whalley heading west.
For years these particular stops have resembled a drug bazaar in a third world country.
Keep it up SPS!

What's Happening With Kerry Lynne Findlay?
DAVID DENHOFF the campaign manager for former federal cabinet minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay has quit and thrown his support behind rival candidate Caroline Elliott.
Findlay entered the race with significant momentum. An ERG National Research poll released in mid-February showed her commanding a substantial lead among those considering a BC Conservative membership, capturing 44 per cent first-choice support — more than double Caroline Elliott’s 19.5 per cent. Though a recent poll put PETER MILOBAR and CARO
All leadership candidates are required to submit $40,000 in fees to the party by April 1, followed by another $60,000 April 18.
Candidates are also responsible for repaying any loans they might take out. As well as paying vendors, suppliers and staff.
“I’d be surprised to see Kerry-Lynne Findlay on the final ballot,” said Denhoff.
Late Tuesday night Findlay posted a response, suggesting she had removed Denhoff as part of restructuring. “David played a major role on our team. He was never the official Campaign Manager,” Strong campaigns are built on structure, accountability and execution. That’s exactly what we were addressing last weekend. David played a major role on our team. He was never the official Campaign Manager. When someone is asked to step aside, there’s a right way to handle it. Endorsing a rival on your way out the door isn’t it. That’s not principled – that’s opportunistic. "

Maternity Ward Closes Again
The maternity unit at White Rock’s Peace Arch Hospital is facing its sixth and longest temporary closure of the year.
Beginning this morning ( Wednesday, March 25, at 8 a.m. until Tuesday, March 31, at 8 a.m.,) expectant parents will be diverted to other care facilities.
Six days marks the longest the unit has been forced to divert patients since the closures became a regular occurrence.
Fraser Health says the diversions are due to an ongoing shortage of OBGYNs after “unexpected departures.”
The timing of future diversions is “dynamic,” Fraser Health says, and may be announced on short notice in reaction to unexpected absences and doctors calling in sick.
“If you are in labour or have a pregnancy concern, please call the Maternity Unit first. Our staff will direct you to the appropriate hospital for care,” said the health authority in a post to social media.

Juvenile bald eagle part of the West Beach rhythm.
This juvenile bald eagle has become part of the West Beach rhythm. Every so often it settles into that Gleditsia tree along the promenade, just hanging out above the walkway and watching the ocean like it’s checking on its territory.
People notice it, but not in a big dramatic way. Someone stops, looks up, nudges the person beside them. A couple of folks gather for a minute, then everyone keeps moving. Meanwhile the eagle just sits there, calm as anything, taking in the tide and the traffic.
Still in its mottled juvenile feathers, still figuring out the coastline, but clearly comfortable here. It’s pretty cool having a wild neighbour that drops by whenever it feels like it.
