Re: Questions re British Columbia
Just naturally high on life bro.
Come to BC, the feeling is contagious
BC's not a place, it's a state of mind.
* Sadly I was deadly serious about the pine beetle.
This plague is destroying our beautiful province:

Re: Questions re British Columbia
Hi,
First point:
- I hope you're applying via Québec because it's sooo much quicker assuming you're pretty fluent in French after having lived there a year? J'espère, quand même!
- French police certificates take about 2-3 weeks to come through and are handled centrally. You can make the request online at: https://www.cjn.justice.gouv.fr/cjn/b3/eje20
Good luck!

Merçi beaucoup for the info re french police. I will look the site up. Sadly I did not know about applying via Quebec. Too late now, already applied. Juliette

Re: Questions re British Columbia
Equally sad is the fact that the beetle has now crossed the mountains a lot sooner than expected and is ravaging the forests of the eastern slopes in Alberta now.
There is a general consensus that if it can't be stopped in Alberta it could spread right across the country.

Re: Questions re British Columbia
There are all sorts, rattlesnakes, black widow, brown recluse spider, tarantula down south near to US border, black bear, grizzly bear, wolf, coyote, cougar. Then there is the Pacific NorthWest Sasquatch, fresh water ogopogo, burrowing death lice, killer bees, lesser spotted fighting marmot, and the rare but very poisonous tree octopus. Snow otters and ice weasels in winter (not a problem if you wear big boots). Not forgetting the western pine beetle which is eating most every tree in BC right as I type.
Come to BC, it's awesome.

Re: Questions re British Columbia
Sorry Rich, touchy subject.
Last September when we made our annual trip out to "The Island" I was absolutely stunned to see how much things had changed and the devastation the Mountain Pine Beetle had caused since our previous trip out in March of 2005.
Dead stands of pine trees all over the place, I couldn't believe the change in what I thought was such a short period of time, but I guess a year and a half is a long time for those little b*st*rds.
Cheers
Steve

Re: Questions re British Columbia
You should see it in the BC interior - row on row of green pine. Surrounded by dead trees all brown and red in pockets or what might look like pockets of green or red. It certainly hasn't done all of its damage capability yet.
It may yet become complete barren desert here.

I honestly believe life has a balance............ lets hope something else is around the corner, a door yet un-opened for the fate of the forest.

These kinds of stands all the way from Alberta to the coast as we drove. It was stunning to see the change.
It's likely the remaining green is spruce and fir.
