University of No Better Choice

A slang term for UNBC, the University of Northern British Columbia. It is so called because its lower admission requirements, combined with its lower tuition fees and the lower cost of living where the university is located, in Prince George, often make it a choice of necessity rather than true choice.

However the university is ranked quite high in Canadian standings for achievement and quality of education.

I fucked up my GPA by failing a sculpture class, now I have to finish my English degree at the University of No Better Choice!

Pine Beetle Epidemic

The central interior of British Columbia is currently experiencing a Pine Beetle Epidemic. Thousands of hectares of pine forests are dead or dying die to infection by pine beetles. The epidemic has partially been caused by Climate Change, because the winters in the interior no longer get cold enough to hold the pine beetle in check.

The Pine Beetle Epidemic is going to kill most of the trees in Interior British Columbia.
