Mountain Mindset<p>"Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success." ~ Dale Carnegie</p><p>I think of Dale Carnegie as one of my greatest teachers, his influence has deeply impacted my life by his example of sharing stories from many others experiences to learn from. Who inspires you? Where do you find hope, positive thoughts or growth? </p><p>Photo taken last spring of a very ancient tree enduring high alpine elements.

NSW.Biodiversity<p>Takayna’s forests </p><p>"Old-growth forests (forests unscathed by industrial-scale human development) are complex places. “They have structural components that are completely absent from a forest that could be 150 or 200 years old, so they’re essential for biodiversity,” says Prof Hugh Possingham, a conservation researcher and Queensland’s former chief scientist.

#RCMP was ‘unreasonable’ when setting up exclusion zones around Fairy Creek protest
By Leanne Sanders
Sep 11, 2024

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP - #CRCC says that the RCMP was unreasonable in setting up broad #ExclusionZones and checkpoints while enforcing a civil #injunction covering the #FairyCreek area in #BritishColumbia, home to #OldGrowth #forests and a #protest led by people trying to save them.

“In its review, the CRCC found that the broad exclusion zones and checkpoints used by members of the RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group #CIRG were unreasonable,” said the report released on Wednesday. “The review determined that the RCMP’s demand to search the complainant at a checkpoint on a public road was unfounded, and his arrest, after refusing to agree to the search, was groundless.”

C-IRG is a low-profile RCMP group tasked with responding to protests and other public order events about resource based #industrial projects like #logging and #pipeline construction.
