Highlights
A 23-year-old Duch cards fan, called Indy Mellink, has invented the new gold, silver, bronze cards instead of the king, queen, and jack cards.
Have you ever wondered how the playing cards were created? And what do the king, queen, and jack’ cards represent? Or even why the king holds the top value over other cards, even the queen and jack? shouldn’t that be defined as sexism and patriarchal oppression ?
North Saanich Re: “Ship that went down 52 years ago fouling Nootka Sound waters,” Dec 12. Oil from a dead ship is polluting “an area of ecological and cultural significance.” The ship sank 52 years ago, but the fossil fuels might be still leaking out. This is the reason to clean up dead boats in the waters around Victoria. Those dead boats all contain dirty oil in their engines’ crankcases, and diesel fuel or gasoline in the fuel tanks. When that stuff leaks out from a dead boat, exactly the same thing will happen as in Nootka Sound; on a smaller scale, but still, polluting fossil fuels.
