The BC Liberal Party is calling into question the medical credentials of BurnabyLougheed New Democrat candidate Dr. Jane Shin.

Shin has a medical degree and teaches at Vancouver Community College, the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in New Westminster and until last year, B.C. Institute of Technology.

Until recently, her biographical information found online did not list where she completed her medical degree but it now states she graduated in 2007 from the Spartan Health Sciences University in St. Lucia in the Caribbean.

A BC Liberal press release notes that the school’s graduates are prohibited from being licensed to practise medicine in the U.S. states of California, Kansas, Texas, North Dakota and Indiana, and in the U.K. for those who began their studies before Dec. 31, 2008.

Firefighter circling the world with 24 gears Mario Bartel

Rudy Pospisil has been chased by bandits in Mexico. He’s endured a week of riding his bike in non-stop rain in Oregon. He got a flat tire from a bullet in Los Angeles.

But his quest to ride around the world to raise money for cancer research was almost derailed by bureaucratic paperwork.

Only days before the veteran Burnaby firefighter embarks on the first leg of the second half of his more than 24,000 kilometre journey, his beloved Giant Seek road bike loaded down with bags and panniers stuffed with 30 kilograms of equipment and supplies he’d need to get from Portugal to Turkey was in customs “prison� in Porto, Portugal.

Officials said they wanted more than 600 Euros to release it, as proof he wasn’t importing the bike into the country to be sold.

Not that Pospisil would sell his bike, even if he could.

They’ve been through a lot together, and the Guinness Book of Records’ rules for global circumnavigation state any claim to such an accomplishment must be done on the same bike.

Columbia while a Korean language interview with blogger jonleeblog.blogspot.ca has Shin claiming to have attended the University of Florida. Her BCIT biography also previously stated she studied at Oxford University.

Shin was born in South Korea and immigrated to Canada when she was 11. Her current biography on her campaign website states, “She trained at University of Edinburgh in Scotland, Dalhousie University in Halifax, and John H. Stroger Jr.

Hospital in United States, as part of her comprehensive medical education.�

In an interview last October when Shin won the NDP nomination for BurnabyLougheed, she was clear that she is not a practising physician and that she decided to attend medical school after contracting a serious illness when she was 16.

But during her medical training she fell out of love of practising medicine when she found her interactions with patients limited to only about five minutes each.

She turned her attention to academic medicine when she completed her training.

The NDP campaign said in an emailed statement: “Jane Shin completed her Doctor of Medicine at Spartan Health Sciences University, an institution recognized by the Medical Council of Canada.

She completed her clinical rotations, almost entirely with honors, at a variety of hospitals in the United Kingdom and in Chicago. Following completion of her Doctor of Medicine

degree, she moved to Vancouver, where she has served as a respected instructor at Vancouver Community College and BCIT.�

A campaign spokesperson said in an email that minor edits were made to Shin’s campaign website and a third-party website to ensure consistency. “The blog post contains an error on the part of the writer.�

She did not graduate from UBC but completed three years of undergraduate studies in science there before transferring to her medical program.

“The BC Liberals are attacking this young woman personally to distract attention from their record, and the lack of credibility of their plan,� said the NDP. “I try not to pay attention to these attacks, but obviously it doesn’t feel good to have your background unfairly questioned,�

Shin said in an emailed statement Monday. “I worked very hard to earn my Doctor of Medicine degree, and I’m proud of my medical education and my decision to C M Y CM MY CY CMY K follow my passion for teaching.�

Candidates weigh in on addressing homelessness Burnaby Task Force on Homelessness surveys Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

It’s Burnaby city hall’s fault that the BC Liberals have not done more to address homelessness in the city.

That’s the essence of the party’s answers to a survey on the issue of provincial election candidates organized by the Burnaby Task Force on Homelessness.

While the BC Liberals say its government has funded more than 1,600 permanent beds in 33 communities, compared to 850 beds in place when it took power in 2001, it said: “But we cannot provide housing solutions in isolation – we need cooperation and commitment from the City of Burnaby.”

It has committed more than $520 million this year to build more than 2,200 new supportive housing units for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in B.C. “We encourage the Task Force and Burnaby voters to call on the City to partner

with the province and provide city-owned land for supportive housing projects, as the eight other municipalities have done.”

The NDP offers this summary of what it would do: “The BC NDP commits to build up to 1,500 units of affordable non-profit, co-operative and rental housing for low- and moderateincome families, seniors and individuals each year by leveraging the existing $250 million Housing Endowment Fund to support partnerships and equity contributions with local governments, the private sector, and the non-profit and co-operative housing sectors.”

Wayne Marklund, BC Conservative candidate for Burnaby-North, wrote: “We must work with BC Housing and the city of Burnaby to ensure that a permanent shelter is available for everyone that is in need. It’s quite obvious that we need to get BC Housing, the City of Burnaby and the provincial government to sit down and develop a program that would begin to meet the growing needs of the homeless

community in Burnaby.”

The Green Party of B.C.’s four Burnaby candidates all completed the questionnaire.

Carrie McLaren and Wyatt Tessari, Green candidates for Burnaby North and BurnabyEdmonds respectively, said in almost identical submissions that the province needs to find a site “and make sure that there is funding in place from BC Housing for the opening of transitional housing such as that proposed last year for the 401 Motel [which didn’t go ahead due to an absence of provincial funding].

Also, they wrote, “BC Greens would mandate that BC Housing Corp. purchase existing units of market housing that are in current or stalled projects to provide an immediate and expanding pool of permanent below-market and market-rental housing. We would also provide financial support for small-scale, mixedincome, co-op and non-profit housing.”

OPINION

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Preschool promises

LAST WEEK:

Preschoolers can’t vote. But the increasing cost of their care is an issue of growing importance to their parents, who are wondering how the province’s politicians might be able to ease the strain on their wallets.

Under the Liberals, the Ministry of Education has implemented full-day kindergarten, and introduced free StrongStart programs into schools for toddlers and parents, which are overseen by early learning educators.

Leading into the election, the Liberals are pledging $34 million more for existing Success by Six programs (threatened with deep cuts in 2010) and about $10 million per year for three years to encourage more licenced day care spaces.

The NDP is looking to reroute money promised by the Liberals for registered education plans, and direct it to families, about $70 per kid per month for the lowest income bracket. It also vowed $100 million to reduce child care costs by 20 per cent.

Despite committing plenty of cash for child care, neither party (nor the Greens or Conservatives) have dared to announce anything along the lines of universal child care.

Instead of topping up existing programs or giving relatively small amounts of cash to people with kids, creating truly affordable child care could make the greatest difference in the lives of working parents.

Child care subsidies already exist for low-income families, but a universal low-cost system could finally free parents from calculating if returning to the workforce after a maternity or paternity leave is worth the typically high monthly cost of child care.

The federal government has abandoned any notion of creating universal child care. Our provincial leaders need to take on the challenge.

NDP plan is borrow and spend VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix has finally rolled out his “fully costed” election platform.

Major policy announcements had been released previously, but there was plenty more spending added to the total.

The NDP’s health care plan is surprisingly modest – more money for home support, residential senior care, mental health and addiction services and a rural acute care initiative totaling $159 million over three years.

As health critic Mike Farnworth points out, the residential care increase will allow seniors two baths a week instead of one. Full marks to the NDP for this part of the platform.

Increases to Community Living B.C., children and families programs and aboriginal friendship centres are also commendable.

Other NDP proposals don’t inspire as much confidence.

Raise welfare rates $20 a month and index them to

Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca

inflation. Index the minimum wage to inflation too, at a time when inflation can only rise.

Set up a new child bonus program to send $70 per month for each child with family income under $25,000. Lesser payments would go to families with income up to $66,000.

This ’70s-style family allowance scheme is based on a “child poverty” claim that misrepresents federal statistics of relative income distribution.

The program is optimistically budgeted at $210 million a year. Dix insists it isn’t a “big new social program,” which makes me wonder what would qualify.

It would be partly funded by cancelling a B.C. Liberal plan to establish education savings accounts for kids born after 2006. Out with self-reliance, in

7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com

with the nanny state.

Another $100 million is added to hire more teachers, to address the teachers’ union’s oftenrepeated but false claim of “a decade of cuts” in education.

Another $100 million goes to student grants, much of it further subsidizing the oversupply of English, education, sociology, women’s studies, journalism and other university grads who eventually discover there is little demand for their degrees. As with welfare, increasing support for bad choices can only yield more bad choices.

On a related note, the NDP will revive a ministry of women’s equality, “to promote social and economic equality to all government programs....” As with female candidate quotas, the NDP keeps the flame of ’70s socialist feminism alive.

The party totals up its new program spending to $988 million over three years. That’s exactly the amount Dix estimates will be raised by tax hikes on corporate income, bank capital, personal income over $150,000,

carbon tax on oil and gas drilling, and cancelling the B.C. Liberals’ RESP and child tax credit plans.

As for deficits, the NDP claims that the B.C. Liberal budget hides a deficit of $800 million this year and similar deficits in the next two years.

The B.C. Liberals point to an impressive string of “net zero” wage settlements with public sector unions, the core of their spending control record.

Would the NDP continue to hold the line on public service wages, as the B.C. Liberals have done?

Dix’s NDP caucus and staff is stocked with former government union officials. Party president Moe Sihota is essentially a direct employee of the same unions.

The B.C. Federation of Labour has shaped the NDP’s Labour Code changes, which we won’t see until after the May 14 vote.

Since this is the party that appears to be cruising to victory in the May 14 election, I’ll look at what’s not in their platform and other issues next week.

LET’S GET OUT AND VOTE Re: Only those in the know need to get to the polls (Letters, NewsLeader, April 24) This letter took my blood pressure to a whole new level.

Ziggy Eckardt has every right to express his political views.

He can make his derogatory remarks about a specific party and/or its elected officers in order to promote the party of his choice.

But when he starts to use insulting remarks towards British Columbians in general, that is taking it a few steps too far. Amongst the many crass remarks Mr. Eckardt made, he said “...I would prefer to see even fewer voters at the polls, but those who show up knowing the issues.”

Maybe we should leave it up to one voter—himself!

In the past, about 50 per cent of eligible voters have gone to the polls. This is alarming. The right to vote is not something we should take lightly. It is not only a huge privilege, but every citizen’s duty.

So let’s make this election one of our priorities and break the poor attendance record.

HEALTHY PLANET FIRST, THEN JOBS Re: Being led down the garden path to global warming (Column, NewsLeader, March 29) Chris Bryan’s column was right on the (corporate) money.

I’ll bet that in Big Industry’s universe or dimension, lifesustaining ecosystems are supposed to take a back seat to extremely massive crude oil and coal extractions and shipping, creating transport corridor nightmares, just for one thing; and, unfortunately, the pursuit of the almighty dollar is far from unique.

Do B.C.ers in favour of basically unhindered resource extraction ever question the good of creating jobs when the planet is getting deathly polluted? Believe it or not, some will dismiss my rhetorical question with a specious, erroneous flip-flop, and will come back with one of their own, such as, ‘well, what good are clean, healthy ecosystems when there are no jobs to allow people to afford to take a day off and breathe the fresh air?’

GRILLING CANDIDATES There are many questions which I’d like to put to our highly questionable candidates running for election this May. Show me the candidate who answers all these questions to my satisfaction and I’ll show you the candidate who gets my vote.

1. Will you support a No Fee opt-out for people who refuse smart meters? Please don’t refer this matter to the B.C. Utilities Commission when you could easily accommodate refusers by amending the Clean Energy Act. 2. Will you support competition in the auto insurance business? Any government which does so will break ICBC’s monopoly on basic car insurance rates and give people a chance for cheaper car insurance.

The 249-metre Everest Spirit makes its way to the Second Narrows Bridge in Burrard Inlet, on its way to Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Terminal in Burnaby.

Planned oil surge highlights tanker risks Kinder Morgan Canada is expected to soon announce that it will seek to twin its Trans Mountain Pipeline between northern Alberta and Burnaby. The twinning would mean a huge increase in the amount of crude that transits the pipeline, and in the number of oil tankers passing through local waters each year. This is the ¿rst of a three-part Black Press series looking at the logistics, risks, and politics involved.

Safety precautions don’t sway opponents Jeff Nagel

jnagel@blackpress.ca

The Everest Spirit, an oil tanker the length of two and a half football ¿elds, nudges slowly under the Second Narrows Bridge.

In its bowels is enough crude oil to ¿ll more than 30 Olympic swimming pools, loading it down so that it sits 13 metres deep in the water, close to the carefully prescribed maximum safe draft for the narrow, shallow channel.

The ship is one of 32 tankers that last year loaded crude from Burnaby’s Westridge terminal, the end of an 1,100-kilometre pipeline that runs from northern Alberta southwest across B.C. to the Paci¿c.

But Kinder Morgan, which owns the Trans Mountain pipeline, has big plans to turn the current trickle of oil through Vancouver’s harbour into a gusher.

It is expected to formally begin the process this spring to twin the pipeline and increase its current 300,000-barrel-perday capacity to as much as 700,000.

Some would continue to Àow to re¿neries in Burnaby and Washington State. But export oil bound for tankers is projected to soar from a current 80,000 barrels per day to 450,000 if the project proceeds.

The number of tankers ¿lling up in Burnaby could hit 288 in 2016, four times more than the record 69 crude tankers in 2010.

That prospect has alarmed environmentalists who worry the risk of a catastrophic spill is increasing and say Metro Vancouverites never signed on to become Alberta’s oil port.

Burnaby School Board chair Larry Hayes has been appointed by the BC School Trustees Association to help the Ministry of Education allocate money from its new Energy Ef¿cient Capital Account to energy ef¿cient projects by school districts across the province.

Hayes will work with the Ministry to develop a formula for distributing the money that comes from carbon offset fees charged to school boards.

Previously those funds had been deposited into the Paci¿c Carbon Trust and then distributed to third parties such as Encana Corporation to help reduce its carbon emissions.

Environment Minister Terry Lake announced the change to the program last week. The new capital account will make $5 million available to school districts for energy ef¿cient projects that will lower their carbon emissions.

That’s good news for B.C. schools, according to BCSTA president Michael McEvoy.

Tories out of touch In seven years, the Harper government has made a number of changes to our country, many of which have not been for the best.

We’ve seen a government that actively attacks science or anything else that impedes their ideological freight train of legislation.

Democratic values are routinely eliminated or curtailed. This government remains the only political party that pleaded guilty to an offence in court in the history of Canada.

Perhaps the most reprehensible act has come recently, when it has now twice asked soldiers serving in Afghanistan to return combat pay to the government—”at the earliest possible convenience.”

Harper and this federal government asked the troops to serve in a country that has long since become a no-win situation, and instead of supporting these troops the government is now demanding the return of hazard pay.

This may surprise the Conservative Party, but Afghanistan is still a danger.

To disrespect our troops in the line of fire this way is beyond dishonourable.

This government has lost touch. It’s time we elected a new one.

Metro could offload some regional parks to cities Review to explore municipal partnerships to cut costs Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver may cut costs by turning some of its regional parks over to local municipalities to stop inefficently duplicating their efforts.

The regional district is embarking on a wideranging service review of its regional parks system that will report back with a draft report by summer and final recommendations by fall.

Regional directors increasingly question Metro’s role at some parks, saying it makes little sense for regional district and municipal parks crews to work in close proximity.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said Surrey crews could probably easily take over the maintenance of Tynehead Regional Park in the midst of her city.

In some parts of North Vancouver, where regional,

provincial and municipal parks abut each other, three separate sets of workers and managers are responsible.

“It just doesn’t make sense to have three different land agencies monitoring the same trail within 300 metres,” North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton said at an April 18 Metro committee.

Also to be probed is why Metro still runs regional parks like Sumas Mountain and Matsqui Trail in the Abbotsford area, even though that city is in the separate Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD).

Directors suggested the FVRD might take on the Metro parks there.

Metro needs to either find more revenue or cut costs to free up millions of dollars it estimates are needed to upgrade aging facilities and infrastructure at existing parks, as well as bankroll an ambitious program of acquiring more parkland.

Regional planners want to add 5,500 hectares of land to the park system at an estimated cost of $1.1 bllion over 30 years.

Tremendous investment is also needed to make the proposed Experience the Fraser trail network a reality instead of mainly a plan on paper.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he wants a “real hard look” at the role Metro plays in running parks and whether it makes more sense for local cities to take them on.

He noted Metro couldn’t afford to dredge Burnaby Lake Regional Park so his city had to contribute to the cost.

The review will examine the parks function’s relevance and look at potential different operating models. Parks deemed regionally or ecologically significant are unlikely to be offloaded.

Corrigan was skeptical as to whether Metro staff will deliver “dispassionate” findings that might result in them losing jurisdiction over some parks.

Metro has more than 14,500 hectares of parkland in 22 regional parks, five greenways, two ecological conservancy areas and four regional reserves. twitter.com/jeffnagel

It would still mean hundreds more tankers carrying much more crude oil through the Gulf Islands, past Victoria and up the west side of Vancouver Island.

But NDP leader Adrian Dix would have kept his Earth Day election promise not to transform Vancouver harbour into “a major oil port.”

NDP energy critic John Horgan did not rule out that scenario in a Black Press interview last week, going so far as to say he met Kinder Morgan officials the previous day and anticipates their proposal could evolve ahead of a

formal application later this year to the National Energy Board.

“It wouldn’t be a challenge in Burrard Inlet any longer,” Horgan said, when asked if oil flowing to a different terminal would still be problematic for the NDP. “There are a number of options they may pursue,” Horgan said, adding he can’t prejudge them because the company has not yet made them public.

“I’ll leave it to them to put forward the options they consider viable,” he said. “The current proposal is a massive expansion of export capacity in Burrard Inlet. So I’m hopeful Kinder Morgan will review our leader’s position and act accordingly.”

Kinder Morgan officials didn’t comment on the idea of a new terminal this week.

A statement posted online in February says the company has considered terminal alternatives but has yet to find an option

compelling enough to deviate from the existing corridor.

Horgan was also asked if a less sensitive terminal might be Deltaport or even Fraser Surrey Docks, which could accept larger ships if the Massey Tunnel is replaced with a bridge.

“Deltaport would be a more likely scenario [than Fraser Surrey Docks for Kinder Morgan to propose].

But again those are options for the proponent.”

He cautioned any twinning of the pipeline would be “transformative change” that would present “a challenge and a problem for us” but that it would be up to Kinder Morgan to bring back proposals that are defensible and in the public interest.

The Trans Mountain pipeline forks at Abbotsford, with a spur running south to Cherry Point refineries in northwest Washington.

Poll finds B.C. shoppers keen on new Target stores U.S. retailer’s arrival may eat into Walmart’s market share Jeff Nagel Black Press

The impending arrival of U.S. retailer Target in B.C. may come mainly at the expense of Walmart, a new poll suggests.

An Insights West poll found 82 per cent of shoppers are likely to shop at Target if there’s one nearby and 96 per cent are aware it’s coming.

Pollsters say respondents were broadly enthusiastic and attribute that to brand awareness

– 69 per cent of B.C. residents polled have visited a Target store in the U.S. before, 35 per cent within the last year.

That level of recognition outstrips other U.S. retailers that have yet to enter the Canadian market, such as JC Penney and Nordstrom.

“Target is well positioned with British Columbians even before market entry,” Insights West senior vice president Catherine Dawson said.

About a third of respondents said they won’t shop less often anywhere else after Target arrives, while 28 per cent said they’d cut back on visits to Walmart.

Between 16 and 14 per cent said they’d spend less at other larger retailers like The Bay, Winners, London

Drugs and Best Buy. Most of those polled said they expect new U.S. retailers here will force other chains like Walmart and Costco to reduce their prices.

But they’re not under any illusions that prices will be as cheap as at its U.S. stores – 87 per cent said they don’t expect U.S. retailers to offer south-of-theborder prices here.

Target’s already open stores in Ontario charge somewhat more than in the U.S. for most items. The retailer has cited higher transportation costs, wages and duties as the reason. Consumers were split on whether Canadian retailers are to blame for a lack of competitiveness against U.S. chains.

Dawson said it appears B.C. shoppers are torn about what will happen when Target arrives.

“While they will certainly shop these big U.S. retailers and hope for a positive impact on our economy, they worry about it hurting Canadian businesses,” she said.

Clothing and various products for the home top the list of categories those polled said they expect to buy at Target Canada.

Fourteen per cent of those polled disapprove of U.S. retailers and 31 per cent said they’re indifferent to Target’s plans.

Target is to open 19 locations in B.C. in the coming months.

The first Lower Mainland locations opening this spring include sites in Delta, Coquitlam and Langley, while more expected by winter in Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

Tune in to 1920s-era radio Burnaby Village has created its own station to capture radio’s golden age

P

hotographer Frank Leonard’s 1928 photograph of “The Lumberjacks” captures a typical scene in early radio broadcasting. Much of the music broadcast in the 1920s and 1930s was performed live in the studio. And despite their name, The Lumberjacks clearly did not dress for a day of working in the woods.

People dressed up for a radio performance, even if no one saw them.

lisa Codd This summer, the Burnaby Village is revisiting the early years of radio with a special exhibit, On the Air: Live from the Burnaby Village Museum.

The museum has created its very own station: Radio BVM, playing news and entertainment from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as recently recorded content that reflects on the history of Burnaby and the region. The broadcast can be heard on several antique radios located throughout the heritage village.

Visitors can listen to the broadcasts, participate in radiorelated activities, or watch material being produced in the working radio studio Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

On Thursdays in May and June, special guests are being interviewed live on the air, featuring a variety of topics related to Burnaby, and the history of radio.

Topics range from the early development of interurban railways, to the rise of the “crooner” as a musical star.

The exhibit was developed in partnership with the Society for the Preservation of Antique Radio in Canada, BCIT’s Evolution FM, and the Canadiana Costume Society.

For opening day on Saturday, May 4, visitors can stop in to see the exhibit and participate in broadcasts. At 3 p.m., Royal BC Museum Archivist Dennis Duffy will be on site, interviewed live on Radio BVM about his extensive knowledge of the early history of radio in B.C. Families will also enjoy live music performances from 11:30 to 12:30 p.m., and can participate in a free tour of the

1912 C.W. Parker Carousel at 1:30 p.m.

• The Burnaby Village Museum is open for the summer season Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from May 4 to Sept. 2. Admission is free, and carousel rides are $2.21.
