BC Hydro lied to regulator, NDP says

I wonder if my 5 year run might be coming to a close (lol)

wow! ... this is revelatory stuff right here!

VICTORIA — BC Hydro lied to the province’s independent regulator about a massive internal computer project, which has run millions over budget and into years of delays, according to the Opposition NDP.

Hundreds of pages of internal Hydro documents obtained by NDP critic Adrian Dix paint a picture of a $400-million information technology project — to upgrade financial, human resources and project management software — that was substantially changed during a review by the BC Utilities Commission, without the regulator’s knowledge.

Instead, Hydro at one point misled the BCUC commissioners about the software it planned to use when, behind-the-scenes, management documents show the corporation had already purchased different, more expensive software and begun implementing it without the BCUC’s knowledge, said Dix.

After investigation, the years of delays were mostly attributed to a no good flames fans under the crown corporations employ. Due to privacy concerns the employees name has not been publicized but fellow Hydro consultants have identified him by his nickname "Dashbag". One colleague said 76% of dashbags work day was spent on the internet website, www.sportshoopla.com

New ISIS video reportedly makes threat on Vancouver

 

[jstewismybastardson]

The "cdn security officials r not worried", worries me lol

Geneva was mentioned too and there were 2 men arrested with bomb making materials in ghe past couple days there

Targetting vancouver would be an isis move because we're what they call "the grey area" being a cosmopolitan world city

We are (comparably speaking) safe and accepting of other religions/cultures. The global impact of a vancouver attack would resonate as well with all the chinese investment here

Has anyone heard whether the bc liberals will be raising the threshold for the home owners grant



/i got the letter

slept through the earthquake

Strangely enough I was driving during the last decent one we had here and did not feel a thing. It was about a 1/2 mile drive, felt nothing, then went in my house where the phone was ringing with people wanting to talk about the big quake. I had no idea what they were talking about.

i drove in to work this morn listening to a podcast, went to tim hortons drive through and the first thing the guy at the window said to me as he handed me my steeped tea was "did you feel it" ... i was quite offended!

I was up watching Rocky IV - Adrian just told Rocky "You Can't Win" when the building started shaking.

/Lasted about 3-4 seconds, no damage.

That seems like a person question!

The only one I felt was when I was in Jamaica. It was our first night there and I had gone to a party the night before, slept 2 hours, then got up and went to the airport and traveled all day. I had just laid down, felt the quake, wondered if we were high enough and far enough from the water if a tsunami struck (the big one in Indonesia was earlier that year) and decided I was too tired to care and fell asleep.

The next day I was on the other side of the question, kept asking the people with me if they felt it and none did. They all thought I was insane, finally a bartender asked them about it too.

It woke me up.
Then my wife finished the job when she got all panicky about checking gas lines and stuff.
