		<description><![CDATA[The Municipal election rhetoric is starting to heat up with the pro-development crew taking out full-page ads in the Undercurrent and treating our mailboxes to their propaganda. I read some of it and decided that they were saying almost the exact opposite of what I would say if I were running for council.

		<description><![CDATA[Shortly after the current council took office they outlined certain tasks that they hoped to complete during their term. Ferry marshalling was one of them. So now two and a half years later we get to once again enjoy one of our perennial debates. This time the consultant, along with our new senior planner, waded [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really don’t mean to sound like an alarmist but, our ferry service will soon be an intolerable disaster and we’ll have nobody to blame but ourselves. B.C. Ferries has no plans to upgrade our ferry service. Their plan is simply to keep increasing ferry fares to reduce demand. However we have reached a point [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to the last Parks Canada meeting. A woman got up and spoke about how the actions of BC Ferries (BCF) were “unconscionable”. That struck me as a little harsh even for BC Ferries so I looked it up. It means “a bargain or contract which is clearly unfair, exorbitant, harsh, contrary to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Until recently I really thought that there was a chance that there would be a National Park (NP) on Bowen. Now I’m pretty sure that there won’t be. The Parks Canada (PC) people seem to be trying to talk us out of the deal. Some of the information that I have is second hand so [...]]]></description>

I never thought that I’d be able to say this but… (drum roll please)… B.C. Ferries made money on the Bowen Island run last year. I remember when the ferry fares hit $1 million and BC Ferries told us that it cost them $2 million to run the boat. Then when [...]]]></description>

Coming up with a new inspirational catch phrase to use in a political campaign is not easy. I don’t think that anybody running for council has even tried to come up with anything inspiring. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It now costs a commuter $25.30 every day to drive a car onto the ferry. In most people’s books, that’s a lot of money. Ferry fares affect everything from house values to who can afford to live on Bowen. Before looking at the fallout from this fare hike, let’s look at how we got here [...]]]></description>
