Unionized port workers in British Columbia have voted overwhelmingly in favour of authorizing a strike. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada (ILWU) said Monday that an eye-popping 99.24 per cent of members cast a ballot supporting job action if necessary. The union, which represents more than 7,000 terminal cargo movers in B.C., has been locked in tough contract talks with the B.C. Maritime Employers Association since February. The union’s last collective agreement expired at the end of March. The two sides are in a cooling-off period slated to last until next weekend, which would make June 24 the earliest possible date for a strike. [...]

“POLICE QUELL ANYOX PARADE,” The Province (Vancouver). February 4, 1933. Page 1. --- Peace Restored After Demonstrators Make Dash For Town. ---- COMPANY STATEMENT --- VICTORIA. Feb. 4. (CP) Keeping their firearms in their holsters and using their flsts. thirteen officers of the provincial police stood off a body of approximately 400 strikers at Anyox on Thursday evening, repelling two attempts on the part of men to get into the town. In a third attempt the men joined up with another party at the Beach Mine. Order was immediately restored and the affair has simmered down to peaceful picketing of the plant, provincial officials were advised.

Briefly reviewing the facts, a spokesman for the government said that the situation was well in hand and adequate measures were being taken to see that order Is preserved. It must be understood that the province would not provide relief for men who refused the offer of work, he added.

Advices to the government showed that the majority of the large number of men at Anyox wish to continue at work.

MAY CLOSE DOWN. Provincial officers at the scene were reinforced today, and latest reports showed that all was quiet. Representatives of the men have given an undertaking that no damage to property is intended. Provincial officials were chiefly concerned with the possibility that the plant might be permanently closed down by the operating company, which has not sold any copper since 1931 but maintained operations to give employment at the site.

In a statement Issued today. Mr. Charles Bocking, president and managing director of the Granby company, declares: 'Recently radical agitators entered Anyox and succeeded In forming a union, known as the Mine Workers' Union of Canada, which is identified 'with the Workers' Unity League of Canada and the Red Internationale.

"On Monday, January 30, these radicals, made up almost entirely of the foreign element employed at the mine and smelter, held a meeting and presented certain demands to the company officials, some of which were an increase in wages, reduction in board, and recognition of this union, advising the officials that if these demands were not met. they would call a strike at the mine on Wednesday, February 1, and would shut down the remainder of the plant on Friday February 3.

WILLING TO WORK. "The company was unable to meet their demands, as the property had been operated at a heavy loss for the past two years, and has declared that under no circumstances would it recognize this radical union. As a result, the men have carried out their threats, and at this writing the plant is closed down entirely, with the exception of the heat, light and water system.

"More than half of the employees have not joined the union, and desire to work, but. by reason of widespread intimidation of these loyal workmen and their families, they have been forced to abandon their work, and as a result over one thousand men, who have been regularly employed by the company, are now Idle.

"There have been some clashes between the strikers and the police and at the present time a serious situation exists and the company is unable to operate.

"The plant at Anyox has, at the earnest solicitation of it local officials, operated for over two year for the benefit of its loyal workmen and the company regrets that by the actions of these foreign laborers, influenced by Communist agitators, the works have been closed down."

[AL: Again, company and provincial police hand in hand to crush a strike, and blaming Reds and foreigners for labour strife - and the newspaper publishing straight up propaganda for the company. Not a surprise - it’s a BC tradition (and Canadian tradition.)]

Evelyn Brody thought that inheriting her uncle's home in the northwest coast of British Columbia would let her start over. Newly divorced from her alcoholic husband and with two boys in tow, she throws herself into the chance to clear her head in the wild beauty of the coast. But the house is in need of repair and there are strange rooms that spook her children and make her start to think that leaving her home on the south coast was a bad idea. Never mind the handsome lawyer from Prince Rupert who seems a trifle too concerned with her well being. Or the weird and yet strangely compelling groundskeeper who refuses to answer any questions about himself. What happened at the old house in the forest and why do her children in particular seem both oddly fascinated and repulsed by it? There's something deeply wrong with her summer home and if she doesn't work with her allies to figure it out, her boys' lives may be on the line...

My sister published a new book! So spreading around. Available through Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and paperback.

Photograph taken the morning of August 23rd, 2325 AD, of Remo Dam. In Skeena Valley Tribe territory, former territory of British Columbia, Canada.

Remo Dam serves an important purpose as a source of hydroelectric power and fresh water for the city of Terrace. During the day in the summer, water is pumped from the Skeena River into the Remo Reservoir when solar energy is abundant. During the night, the dam lets out water to power the city. The Remo dam is also used as an important location for aquaculture. It serves as a large source of genetically engineered algae used to make diesel fuel to power vehicles and heat homes. During the salmon spawning season, a fish ladder is employed to carry salmon up into the reservoir to spawn. While half the salmon are caught as a source of food for the city and an important trade good. Terrace has become more important after the world saw sea levels rise 8 meters with climate change, flooding Prince Rupert. As such, the city is a major hub of trade between the Pacfic Ocean and the Haida Gwaii and the inland areas, particularly Amiskwaciy.

North America transition plan for California test bed for new constitution my request to bill of rights without hurting anyone by practicing whatever you like.

The British North America Act, 1867, was the British law (also called a statute) that created Canada and provided it with its basic constitutional functions. It formally united the colonies entering Confederation and established federalism - meaning the distribution of powers between the federal Parliament and the provincial legislatures. The British North America Act also provided the framework for admitting all of the other British North American colonies and territories into Canada.

In contrast to the authors of the American constitution, Canada’s Fathers of Confederation never contemplated independence from Britain. In fact, as a British statute, the British North America Act could only be changed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom was active in its support of Canadian Confederation. Following two invasions by Americans into the province of Canada in 1775 and 1812, the United Kingdom grew increasingly concerned about the cost and effectiveness of Canadian military preparedness. Canada’s vulnerability and unwillingness to increase taxes for its own self-defence led the United Kingdom to conclude that British North America should unite to defend itself against American interests.

Rupert’s Land was acquired in 1870. Much of that region became Canada’s first territory, the Northwest Territories, which was established in 1870. Six provinces have since been added to the original four: Manitoba (1870), British Columbia (1871), Prince Edward Island (1873), Alberta (1905), Saskatchewan (1905) and Newfoundland (1949). Two more territories were also added: Yukon (1898) and Nunavut (1999).

The Constitution Act, 1867 does not contain the entire Constitution of Canada. The Act is complemented by British and Canadian statutes that have constitutional effect (e.g., the Canada Elections Act) as well as certain unwritten principles known as constitutional conventions. These include the power vested in the Crown to dissolve Parliament and call a general election. They are usually exercised on the advice of the prime minister.

Section 146 of Constitution Act, 1867, is so restrictive:

It shall be lawful for [Parliament] ... on Addresses from the Houses of the Parliament of Canada, and from the Houses of the respective Legislatures of the Colonies or Provinces of Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, and British Columbia, to admit those Colonies or Provinces, or any of them, into the Union, and on Address from the Houses of the Parliament of Canada to admit Rupert’s Land and the North-western Territory, or either of them, into the Union.

Compare the Admissions and Territories Clauses of Article IV, §3:

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

There are no territorial limitations! Congress can admit whatever territory it wants, subject only to a requirement for State consent whenever a new State is made from an old one.

Parliament can only accept Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, British Columbia, and make new Provinces from the Northwest Territories and Rupert's Land. Nothing more.

It'd have been nice to get Bermuda and the Bahamas, at least. They're British North America!

“GRANBY PLANT AT ANYOX IS CLOSED,” The Province (Vancouver). February 1, 1933. Page 1. ----- Government Worried Lest Strike Results in Permanent Shutdown. ---- VICTORIA, Feb. 1 - (CP) - Operations at the Anyox plant of the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company ceased this morning when a strike ordered several days ago went into effect.

Two agitators, regarded as responsible for the walkout, were leaving on tonight's boat for Prince Rupert. The demands put forth by the men at the instigation of the two outsiders called for a 20 per cent. reduction in board and lodging and an increase of 50 cents per day in wages.

The company pointed out to the men that no mining of copper had been made since 1931 and that the plant was kept running at a great loss to keep the force intact and the machinery from deterioration.

While the number of employees (approximately 1000), only 400 voted to go out, a small force of Provincial Police is on hand and there was no violence this morning. It is expected the strike will be of short duration but company officials have notified the government that should continue for any length of time, the fires will be let die out and the plant closed permanently. It is this serious feature of these situation that is facing the government. These strikers will not be eligible for unemployment relief, it was indicated at the legislative buildings today. The government is not intent on intervening in the dispute, but its policy In the past has been to refuse to put strikers in Industrial plants on relief.

Members of the unemployment committee of the Cabinet said today the policy will not be altered in the case of the Anyox strike.
