The provincewide lockout against a union of more than 700 foremen at all British Columbia ports is expected to begin at 8 a.m.

The BC Maritime Employers Association has said the lockout is meant to "facilitate a safe and orderly wind-down of operations" in light of "escalating and unpredictable strike action."

Last week, it said the move was being done "defensively" after International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 514 had issued a 72-hour strike notice for job action, which also starts at 8 a.m.

Matthew 6

"How much does it cost?" "What's it worth?" These two questions may sound alike, but they are different. Very different.

"Cost" is the amount of money it takes to complete a purchase...the bill, the tab, the monetary expense required to accomplish a financial transaction. "Worth" is the usefulness of the object...the benefit, value, and importance of the thing purchased. It is the long-lasting return we derive from the item. Justification for paying a certain cost is usually determined on the basis of the personal worth that accompanies the purchase.

In Europe, it’s called “Camp Amerikraine,” a cherished annual meeting for Christians in Ukraine launched two decades ago with help from Christians in America.

Among the millions glued to their TV sets Tuesday night watching U.S. election results will be a group of people in Montreal with a particular connection to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris — her high school classmates. 

Kamala Harris lived in Canada

Long before she became an American vice-president and presidential candidate, Harris spent several years in Montreal and attended Westmount High School from 1978 to 1981.

While she doesn't talk much about that time, one of her former classmates believes her high school years helped shaped who she would become. 

Romans 13:1

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities,for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
