In 1896, the federal government of Canada made available thousands of acres of Crown Land on Vancouver Island and along the coast of British Columbia for settlement by groups of people willing to set up communities in isolated regions . The first two settlements of this nature were started before 1896; they were composed of two groups of Norwegians who set up communities at Quatsino Sound on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island and in the valley inland from the present day community of Bella Coola in the mid-coast region of the British Columbia mainland . To claim land, each family had to pay the federal government $300 cash, and they had to reside on the land they claimed for five years and make improvements to the land at a rate of five dollars per acre . These settlements were followed by a settlement by a Danish group who worked the land at the northern tip of Vancouver Island in the area around Cape Scott, and by a settlement on Malcolm Island, which was settled by a Finnish group . The Finnish community called their settlement Sointula, which means harmony in Finnish .

People buy cars as statements about who they are. They continue to buy new cars because they want to be seen as current, in fashion, not because their old car is not serviceable . Examine car advertisements. Do you remember the advertisement about two women, one of whom is in a trendy 4X4 vehicle, cruising a parking lot for a parking space ? Of course, because the one woman is driving a 4X4 and the 4X4 has high clearance, she is able to drive through a decorative pond in the parking lot to the last open parking space . With all the options open to people today, with the variety of vehicles available, why is it, in a period of rising fuel prices, that power-hungry 4X4 vehicles are so popular ? It is not just the 4X4's that beg this question to be asked, for vans and cars with big engines, as well as performance parts for cars, sell a similar image about transportation . Look at tire advertisements. Do tire advertisements stress the virtues of the tires, the safety and economy of the tires, the statistics showing how good their tires are ?

Why do we do this?
