Liberal Gu a no-show at debate Instead attends event to encourage Chinese to vote instead Wanda Chow

New Democrat incumbent Kathy Corrigan was there. So was her BC Green Party challenger Rick McGowan. But at the Burnaby-Deer Lake allcandidates meeting held at Moscrop secondary Tuesday morning, Dr. Shian Gu of the BC Liberals was nowhere to be found.

Corrigan was not impressed, saying the event organizers told her Gu had instead decided to attend a photo-op in Richmond. “I think we’re trying to get young people engaged in the political process, and one of the ways to do that is to come and talk to them about the issues that matter to them,” she said after the event. “The fact that he didn’t show up I think, frankly, is disrespectful of the students and the process and of the effort that the organizers made,” Corrigan said. “I think it

shows where the priorities are and to me, students and the future of our country are huge priorities and I was really honoured to have been part of this today.” McGowan said he was “disappointed” but didn’t know what Gu’s reasons were. “It looks like the Liberals are taking a page out of the federal Conservative campaigning booklet,” he remarked, referring to past no-shows by federal Conservative candidates at such debates. Gu said in an emailed statement

that he originally planned to attend the Moscrop event but changed his plans at the last minute to participate in an event to encourage Chinese voters to vote. “I was very much looking forward to speaking to Grade 12 students, the voters of the future, about the importance of voting and getting involved in politics, but at this point in the campaign, where every hour counts, sometimes we have to make hard choices about how we as candidates allocate our time,” Gu said.

Celebrating 51 years of serving Burnaby. In the same location since 1962

Burnaby property taxes are going up by 2.47 per cent, less than the 2.9 per cent originally proposed in the provisional budget. Coun. Dan Johnston, chair of the city’s finance committee, said in an interview that staff reviewed all city departments and were able to find savings to further trim back the tax increase. The hike equates to an additional $42 in taxes on the average residential home assessed at $679,068, going up to $1,522 this year from $1480 in 2013, said the city’s director of finance, Denise Jorgenson, by email. The increase is largely to pay for wage increases in collective agreements for RCMP, firefighters and other civic workers as well as inflationary costs. At Monday’s council meeting, when the budget was approved, Coun. Colleen Jordan noted that municipalities are prohibited from running deficits. Please see gaRBagE, a3

Chinese voters ‘equally important’ ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

“I decided that it is equally as important to get the message out to Chinese voters, who have not historically voted in high numbers, that voting is extremely important, no matter which candidate they choose to mark on their ballot.” With Gu represented by a sign and an empty chair, Corrigan and McGowan carried on without him, sharing the BC NDP’s and Green Party’s visions for the future with Moscrop students. In answer to the students’ first question, about their stances on the Enbridge pipeline, Corrigan said both that and Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline was not worth risking the environment. There were other ways, such as increasing skills training opportunities, how the government could help create jobs. The Greens are also opposed to the pipelines and increased tanker traffic and believe diversifying the economy is key, McGowan said. As for financial aid for students, he said the Greens would eventually like to offer free post-secondary education although it “will take a lot of work to figure that out.” In the meantime, the Greens would look at grants and loans for students and incentives for people educated in British Columbia to work here to address the shortage of skilled labour. While Corrigan liked the idea of free post-secondary education, she said it’s a “real balancing act” to also be fiscally responsible. She said the New Democrats will create a $100-million, non-repayable, needs-based student grant program to make such an education more accessible to people who couldn’t otherwise afford it. The NDP will also resurrect and improve the apprenticeship and skills-training program, said Corrigan, noting that 80 per cent of jobs in the future will require some sort of education beyond high school. Many of the students’ questions dealt with social issues, such as the female student who questioned the benefit of the NDP’s proposed $20-a-month increase in

social assistance rates. While that $20 won’t solve poverty, “it will make a big difference to those people that are on income assistance,” Corrigan said, stressing the limits of taxation. “It’s impossible to do everything all at once.” In addition, the NDP also plans to implement a family bonus program that would pay up to $900 annually for every child in a low-income family and will reduce childcare fees for infants and toddlers by 20 per cent. Corrigan noted that for several years under the BC Liberals the province has been the worst in Canada for child poverty, only improving to second-worst this year. McGowan described the Greens’ idea for a “guaranteed livable income” in which people whose incomes fall below a set income level would receive top-ups by the province. It would be funded by eliminating the current system of subsidies and bureaucracy and not penalize people for getting a job as is currently the case. In response to a question about how the province would help people with special needs, Corrigan said she would have liked the Liberals’ Gu to have been available to answer. “Under the Liberals, Community Living BC, the agency which delivers services for adults [with developmental disabilities], has been seriously cut by the Liberals and their platform says they’re going to cut supports almost in half,” she said.

The NDP would instead increase supports to the agency in targeted ways, “but certainly people living with disabilities deserve to be treated with respect, they deserve to be supported ... and we’ll make sure that that happens.” As for making the cost of living in Burnaby more affordable, Corrigan said the NDP plans to take some of the stress off the rental market by building 1,500 units of affordable housing provincewide. She said the NDP would also look at a proposal by Burnaby city hall, rejected by the Liberal government, for a special rental zoning to prevent rental buildings from being knocked down and replaced by condominiums. As for how the NDP can support the mining industry, described by a student as “the most polluting sector,” while also being pro-environment, Corrigan said it’s a matter finding a balance. The party would process some mining permits faster, “but that does not mean that we are going to accept projects which are harmful to the environment.” Rather, the NDP would bring the environmental assessment process back to B.C. In the case of the pipelines, “the Liberal government handed it over to the federal government [which] then lowered the standards of the assessment so that fish habitats and so on are in danger.” McGowan responded that a certain level of mining and resource extraction is necessary and that the Greens would push to have those resources used more efficiently. And just like students at Byrne Creek secondary’s candidates debate, the Moscrop students wanted to know where the candidates stood on the decriminalization of marijuana. For the record, both Corrigan and McGowan support it. The Green Party wants to tax and regulate it like alcohol and tobacco, which would also keep the profits out of the hands of organized crime, McGowan said. “Nobody should end up with a criminal record because they smoked pot, that’s ridiculous,” said Corrigan.

Garbage pickup to be charged separately ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

Other than tax increases, “we can’t do anything but cut services … we do the best we can without cutting services to the community,” Jordan said. The budget balances the need for additional services, such as operation of the new Edmonds Community Centre, and tax increases, said Johnston. “We may not be the lowest tax increase [in Metro Vancouver] but we’re not the highest, we tend to be the low end of the middle.” The financial plan includes $138 million in capital spending for 2013, including upgrades to roads, water and sewer systems, completion of the Edmonds Community Centre and the new track-and-field facility next to Burnaby Central secondary, bike routes, urban trails, energy conservation projects at city facilities and the new Still Creek works yard and recycling depot under construction. Noting that much of the capital spending goes to private sector contractors, Jordan said, “$138 million is going to support a lot of jobs in Burnaby.” The property tax increase is in addition to six-per-cent hikes to both the sewer and water utility bills this year to cover the cost of building new and replacement infrastructure. The cost of garbage pickup is also now being charged separately, with increases ranging from $65 to $95, depending on the size of toter bin used. The hike is to cover the rising cost of Metro Vancouver tipping fees, what the region charges Burnaby to dispose of the garbage collected, and the separate fee is to improve transparency so everyone can see it instead of burying it in the overall tax bill, said city manager Bob Moncur last December.

Why vote for you? I have a “neuromuscular disorder” that is spinal atrophy. I was able to walk until age four and operate a manual wheelchair until age nine after which I found it necessary to utilize an electric wheelchair. My morning routine alone takes three hours before I can leave the house. Despite these challenges, I have had the ability, determination and willpower to get my business degree from SFU, a law degree from UBC, start a successful business and be KRAmeR an avid volunteer. I am asking for the opportunity to put this determination, optimism and ability to work for all the great people of Burnaby-Lougheed.

Why vote for you? My training in medicine and my work as a health educator gives me insight into the challenges facing our education system and our health services. I’ve watched my students struggle to pay their bills while striving to get the education they need, then go on to face the challenges of the health care systems where many of them find work. In the past decade under the BC Liberal government, life has become harder and more unaffordable for hard-working ShiN B.C. families, and I’m eager to work with Adrian Dix and his team to bring positive, practical change. What are the big-picture issue/s this election? People in Burnaby-Lougheed are looking for a government that will invest in education, skills training and health care. The BC Liberals have neglected post-secondary education and skills training over the last 12 years. This neglect has put education and job opportunities out of reach for many and hurt businesses that need skilled workers. Our health care system is strained and under considerable pressure. Instead of looking for practical, workable solutions the BC Liberals have increased privatization, cut long-term care and home support services, and cut front-line mental health services.

What are the big-picture issue/s this election? B.C.’s economy and government spending. Voters have told me they want to make sure that there are future economic opportunities for their kids and grandkids and that Victoria has the province’s finances in check instead of out-of-control spending. Today’s BC Liberals have a plan to control spending and make sure British Columbia lives within its means. This starts with balancing our budgets and having a realistic, long-term vision to pay down B.C.’s debt through the Prosperity Fund. What are the local issue/s this election? Honesty: Voters have told me they want their representatives to be up front with their constituents. Burnaby Hospital: I will work hard to see the master-planning process followed through and a clear vision for the expansion and enhancement of health services at the hospital implemented. Transportation and transit: People want enhanced access to public transit—and our party has done that—but they are naturally worried about costs. Our party’s referendum proposal gives people a direct say on how their money might be spent.

What are the local issue/s this election? The Kinder Morgan pipeline is a big issue for people in Burnaby-Lougheed. The impacts of the 2007 spill to Burnaby residents are keenly remembered. I agree with Adrian Dix that the proposed twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline project doesn’t fit with the economic and environmental needs of Vancouver. The film and television industry is also brought up when I meet people on doorsteps. We will increase tax credits to 40 per cent of labour costs for both foreign and domestic productions shot in B.C.

Why vote for you? I am willing to listen—not just talk. Integrity is of the utmost importance to me. I’m not someone who is going to give you an answer I don’t believe because I think it’s the one you want to hear. What are the big-picture issue/s this election? Balancing the budget without hampering investment. We need the high-paying jobs that our resource sector can offer if we do not get in their way with cumbersome and meaningless red tape. We can develop our resources without sacrificing our environment. The BC Conservative Party has committed to stimulating the economy through measures clARke such as cancelling punishing and ineffective taxes such as the carbon tax. We are prepared to invest in skills training so that British Columbians can perform the skilled jobs created by investment in the province. What are the local issue/s this election? Homelessness and the appalling condition of our hospital. A poor relationship between the City of Burnaby and the province has hindered progress on both issues. MLAs need to work to reestablish good working relationships with the city so we can effectively collaborate and find acceptable solutions. The province has been derelict in its responsibilities with respect to the hospital upgrades thus putting the health of our community at risk.

Why vote for you? I believe it’s best to query my constituents personally to a valid extent on any, if not every. bill. Whether it be for changes to provincial labour laws, or even an increase of provincial government salaries. Their vote equates to my employment. What are the big-picture issue/s this election? Dwindling faith in a system that has done more to deflate the expectations and trust people have in government than anything else. It’s gotten to the point that a great portion of voters simply don’t give a damn. So, far greater than the issues being talked about by the party leaders on television the big picture here is simply that British BURNs Columbians fear the loss of, and in many cases have altogether abandoned, the democratic system. Along with the Green Party, I want to instill a new faith in government through example. What are the local issue/s this election? My home is a few blocks away from the Kinder Morgan tank farm. And the very idea of an expansion to this pipeline and the traffic it will bring to Burrard Inlet worries the community as it does me. I will say “no” to pipeline expansion. Not just from our area, but from all surrounding areas and neighbouring townships left vulnerable to a simple pipeline diversion. If it’s not good for us, it’s not good for them. And we all want to be good neighbours.

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

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

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

It’s easy to vote If the last time B.C. voters went to the polls is any indication, you’re just as likely not to cast a ballot in Tuesday’s provincial election as you are to mark your X. In 2009 just 50 per cent of eligible voters turned out at the polls to make their voice heard. In fact voter turnout has been declining steadily since 1983, when 70 per cent of eligible voters exercised their franchise. It’s not like voting is hard work, will make your clothes smell or even cause you to miss lunch. Short of knocking on your front door and sticking a ballot under your nose, Elections BC has made it increasingly easier and more convenient to vote. Advance polls opened Wednesday, and they’ll remain open through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters could also cast their ballot at their nearest electoral office from the call of the election right up until election day. There’s an electoral office in every riding and they’re open until 4 p.m. Just go to Elections BC’s website for a complete list of locations. It’s even possible to vote by mail, if you get your request for a voting mail package in by 4 p.m. on election day. Residents who won’t be in their electoral district on voting day can vote in any other riding in the province. In Comox, voters won’t even have to get out of their cars to cast their ballot, as a drive-thru polling station will be set up at a former car dealership. And while Elections BC has studied the viability of online voting, there’s no guarantee that would increase voter participation. In Markham, Ont. where residents have been allowed to vote online in the past three municipal elections, participation didn’t increase, but it also didn’t decline. So really, there’s no excuse not to vote. Not even the distraction of a Canucks’ playoff run.

An unsettling exercise in reality Ever had one of those moments when what you see before you is simply devoid of any immediately identifiable logic? I experienced one recently. Coming home from work, I opened the front door, and stepped into the foyer. And there on the floor beside the bureau was a baby carrier. That made no sense. We haven’t had one of those around for many years, as our baby is now a teenager. I looked in the baby carrier. And in it was a baby, all bundled up like babies usually are. Whoa! Who-what-how? Does not compute. Mental equivalent of a harddrive freeze. It took a few seconds for my brain to reboot. There was a reasonable explanation for this situation, of course. I just didn’t know what it was. Before I trusted myself to move, it was time to establish some basic facts. “Anna? Are you home?”

Andrew Holota “Yes. In the kitchen, dad.” “Did you know there is a baby, in a carrier, out here by the front entrance?” “Yes.” “Do we have a guest who brought along a baby?” “Nope.” “Do you know whose baby this is?” “Yes.” “Anna, whose baby is this?” “Mine.” A wave of severe dizziness swept over me. Obviously, it was the effect of walking through a door, and abruptly transitioning from my real world, to a surreal parallel existence, in which I was having an absurd and utterly alarming conversation with my 15-year-old daughter. I wondered if one could have a heart attack while trapped in a

parallel dimension. “Say what...?” I weakly queried. “That’s my practice baby for my family studies class. Remember? I told you a couple of weeks ago.” I took a closer look. Sure enough, the infant wasn’t real. A moment or two passed while I transferred back into my ‘normal’ world, and tried to coax my heart to stop imitating a panicking hamster. The first order of business was to admonish the teen for leaving a lifelike baby out on the floor where it would be seen by a forgetful father. “What’s it doing out in the hallway?” “Why, where else would it be?” Clearly, this is why this course is a good thing. “So, how long is it with you?” “Twenty-four hours. All night.” Now this is getting interesting. “What does it do?” “Cry every few hours, and then you have to hold him, and turn this key until he coos.” Well, they’ve got the right

concept, but oh, were it really so easy, my dear girl. “I’m not going to get a whole lot of sleep tonight.” Yes, I think that’s the point of the exercise. Just in case anyone has a cavalier attitude about parenthood, and how one gets in that condition, this may be helpful in setting them on a path of enlightenment. (I’m proud to say my teen is highly enlightened, but reinforcement never hurts.) And if that means she has to get up every couple of hours, and tote around a crying plastic baby, well, good. It was actually a well-behaved little thing for most of the evening. So much so, I had forgotten about it, and was sleepily watching something on TV, when I was startled to hear the sound of a baby crying. My teen was standing beside the couch, holding something out to me. “Dad, do you mind taking the baby?” Good thing I was lying down, because I think I passed out.

COMMENT Re: Choose wisely May 14 (Guest Opinion, NewsLeader, May 10) I am responding to the recent opinion piece by Gwyn Morgan. I think it was unfair that the newspaper did not include relevant biographical information about the writer. Morgan is the former chair of SNC Lavalin (a company embroiled in corruption scandals in Quebec and at the World Bank). He was also a member of the Christy Clark government transition team and a major financial contributor to the Liberal Party ($170,000+). SNC Lavalin has been involved in billions of dollars in contracts here in B.C. In my opinion, the public has a right to know the background of people who have a vested interest in the outcome of the election when their opinion is featured. When Morgan is portrayed as a “retired businessman living in Greater Victoria,” it does not do justice to his deep involvement in the present Liberal government and his personal desire to see them re-elected. Derek Corrigan Burnaby Mayor

TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH On Sunday, May 5, we travelled to Deer Lake Park to enjoy the beautiful spring weather. When arriving we were greeted by two overfilled garbage cans, and garbage all over the ground. I have two questions. Why is it so difficult to take your garbage home with you when you see the cans so full? Secondly, I saw a Burnaby Parks truck around. Just wondering if it would be a difficult task to take out the old garbage bags, and replace them with new ones. Larry Sewell Burnaby

TEACHERS ALWAYS TAILOR INSTRUCTION Re: Where are the priorities? (Letters, NewsLeader, May 3) It is both shocking and disappointing to read that the president of the Burnaby Teachers Association is upset that “teachers have to adapt each of the classes that they teach to meet the needs of each… student.” Isn’t this the essence of what teaching is about? The president implies that lesson plans should be one size fits all. He should understand that the art and science of teaching is tailoring curriculum to meet the needs of all students. Students are unique individuals with diverse linguistic, cultural, and experiential backgrounds and who have different strengths, talents, abilities and interests.

Students learn in a variety of ways and at different rates. Learning requires the active participation of each student, and that learning is both an individual and group process. From my experience, Burnaby has great schools with dedicated and professional teachers who work hard to meet the needs of each student in their classes by adapting their lessons as necessary. Students, whose program might be adapted, retain the learning outcomes of the curriculum. Because students are unique and learn at different rates, each might need some adaptations from time to time. Teachers understand that this is part of their craft. Rennie Maierle Burnaby

If they agree and support it then it makes sense to vote for me, if they don’t then they should vote for somebody else. That’s why we have multiple candidates. We shouldn’t be trying to all do the same thing otherwise what’s the point in the government.

Why vote for you? Because I’m standing up for your children and grandchildren. Climate change and sustainability will lead to major costs and potentially much suffering borne by future generations. I’m running in this election to stand up for my generation and provide a voice for unequivocal climate action.

What are the big-picture issue/s this election? Education, the economy and the environment. The education system needs more money, a proper economy can provide that and we need to actually start a transition into a clean economy not open up new polluting industries to support it. The creative sector can make the province a lot of money, create a lot of jobs and a clean economy will begin to open up new jobs as well as save us money in the future.

What are the local issue/s this election?

$2.50 ADMISSION

Transportation. It is ludicrous that we are paying tolls on a bridge we have already paid for, and absurd that Metro Vancouver is so isolated from eastern and Northern B.C. The traffic problems of today are not going away and will only get worse as the population grows. We also need to treat born Canadians and immigrants equally and support both to be successful.

What are the big-picture issue/s this election? The defining issue of our time is climate change. It’s an issue that will affect everyone and in particular their kids, and for the first time I really get the sense that voters want action. The battle over pipelines and LNG are the symbols of this in this election. The Green Party has had a comprehensive climate change policy right from the start (it’s all detailed on our website). The key points tessARi are, first, to stop expanding our dependence on fossil fuels (so no to the planned coal ports, oil pipelines, and LNG expansions), secondly, to make the polluter pay by increasing the cost of emitting CO2, and third, invest heavily in the energies of the future (wind, geothermal and other renewables). What are the local issue/s this election? Lack of democracy and low voter turnout. With a winner-takes-all system, people feel like their vote doesn’t count, especially in areas like Burnaby where there is a predominance of one party. We need a proportional representation system where everyone’s views can be reflected in the legislature.

Meet Burnaby’s Tina Palazzo, Kin’s Green Fighter…

Tina’s next challenge is to create a Top-10 list of healthy activities. Visit the Kin’s FB page for more.

Tina is working on leading a healthier life and wants to continue this with the Kin’s Green Fighters challenge. Clothes may make the man, but they also help Tina Palazzo measure her progress in her Kin’s Green Fighters fitness and health challenge. As Tina enters the home stretch of her 13-week journey, she’s finding herself doing more shopping. Because her old clothes no longer fit. “How wonderful is it to go shopping and ask for a smaller size than you had previously worn?” she says. “It’s marvellous!” In fact, Palazzo has resisted the temptation to track her weight on a scale as her increased attention to her exercise regime has added muscle, which weighs more than fat. Instead she’s taking her motivation from comments by friends and colleagues. “People start to notice and they ask me ‘have you lost weight?’” says Palazzo. “This certainly has been motivational.”

May 10, 2013 Goal: In many ways my life feels on track, but physically it doesn’t. I want to be healthier and more fit. Fundraising Goal: $750 donation to the Canadian Cancer Society

Why vote for you? I have worked hard to resolve my constituents’ problems with the provincial government. This ranged from providing direct assistance to individuals to working with the tenants who lost their homes in the recent Smith Avenue fire. I’ve worked hard on the crisis at Burnaby Hospital, and opposed the prison that was planned by the Liberal government in 2009. I have supported the work of local community groups and advocated for affordable housing for my constituents.

Why vote for you? The Green Party develops policy based on the principles of green politics. Those principles are sustainability, participatory democracy, respect for diversity, social justice, non-violence and, of course, ecological wisdom. I know that there are often good ideas, green ideas, brought forth by individuals from both main parties. Unfortunately, many of these ideas never get legislated because special interests and partisanship are put ahead of the public interest and the needs of the constituency. As a Green MLA, I would have the independence and responsibility to put constituents’ needs first.

What are the big-picture issue/s this election? The issues are: job creation in a sustainable economy, public education, skills training, CORRIGAN reducing poverty and inequality, improving health care, protecting our environment and our trust in our democracy. Our platform outlines the practical steps we would take to address these issues. The changes we are proposing are designed to open up new opportunities for British Columbians to make the most of their own lives, and to build strong communities in a thriving, productive economy. The BC NDP will build a stronger economy by freezing income taxes for 98% of families and create opportunities by investing in skills training and education. We will invest in health and education and introduce a family bonus to lift children out of poverty. We will protect our environment by making decisions about our coast and pipelines right here in B.C.

Why vote for you? Along with running a successful medical practice in Burnaby for 14 years, I am a committed community volunteer, having served on the boards of SUCCESS and the Chinese Canadian Medical Society. I travel regularly on medical missions to China through the Bethune Baiqiuen Canadian Alliance (BBCA), a non-profit organization that honours the work and legacy of Dr. Norman Bethune. I bring a strong sense of integrity and trust to the table as a local representative. What are the big-picture issue/s this election?

MOTHER’S D Y

More memories of mom A mom is the best friend you appreciate even more at the time(s) you can’t let her know so... at least in this world Dan Johnston, Burnaby city councillor My mother passed away on June 6, 2006 but I will always cherish how much she loved her little grandson, Henry, and how she doted on him at every visit. He still fondly remembers his frequent visits to “Grandma’s” house. Lee Rankin My mother was special, as my father was sick for a long time when we were young. My mother worked at Bert café in Vancouver making 55 cents an hour. It was hard work doing that and raising three young children at the same time. She taught us that we should treat people the way we want them to treat us.

She passed away 16 years ago and I always remember what she did for us. Paul McDonell, Burnaby city councillor I miss my mom, Gertie Workman, very much, this year especially. Still in Ontario, she once reminded my sister and me that we said we would go to B.C. for “two years.” That was in 1968. I love how Mom and I travelled a bit together… on Vancouver Island, and to Calgary, the Hoodoos, and Lake Louise (her middle name). She came out for Expo ‘86 (with her sister-in-law). We were like “three bad kids.” Wish Mom and I had done much more together. Franci Louann, poet When I was in the 11th grade I decided to quit football. I thought my mom would be happy about it, but instead she wouldn’t let me quit. I went

back to the team and I can’t imagine my life without the sport. She supported everything I did growing up and I can’t thank her enough. My wife is a fantastic mom. She sacrifices everything for our family, especially our children. The only reason I’m able to contribute to the community is because she is the glue at home. I love you mom and I love you Mary!

BURNABYDeer-Lake ⫸

Shian Gu, BC Liberal

Good things come to those who wait.

What are the local issue/s this election? An aging Burnaby Hospital that needs improvements. An excellent report by the Burnaby Hospital Community Consultation Committee pointed out a number of deficiencies in the hospital. There has been debate over whether a new hospital should be built on a new site, or whether the existing site can be renovated and improved. I think this discussion should continue after the election. Meantime, the Fraser Health Authority has come out with both a short-term and a long-term plan for the Burnaby Hospital. Long-term, the FHA plans a two-phase renewal plan that would renovate and expand existing buildings, and build new facilities, including a 500-bed community hospital. Total cost of the redevelopment plan is estimated at $550 million.

Rick McGowan, BC Green

And by ‘good things’ we mean sweet, sweet cash.

What are the local issue/s this election? Issues vary from individual to individual and neighbourhood to neighbourhood. Still, some themes come up again and again. Affordability, whether it be housing, taxation, food or transportation, gets mentioned all the time. Another theme is helplessness. People don’t feel heard. People have legitimate concerns, but when they don’t see their concerns addressed, they get frustrated. I will spend more time listening to my constituents and spend less time defending inadequate legislation and less time grandstanding and fundraising for my party.

Kathy Corrigan, BC NDP What are the local issue/s this election? The biggest issue is Burnaby Hospital. I have received countless reports of long waits and compromised patient care at Burnaby Hospital. The Liberals buried the 2001 report which said the Burnaby Hospital needs to be replaced. We’ve had dozens of deaths related to C. difficile infections that hospital doctors say are related to the aging infrastructure. The Liberals’ response was to manipulate the process by striking a partisan committee whose main purpose was to defeat me. The BC NDP supports exploring all options for Burnaby Hospital. This includes Fraser Health’s recommendations that the hospital’s oldest buildings need to be completely rebuilt, and others substantially renovated, as well as the City of Burnaby’s proposal to build a new hospital on the site of the former Willingdon Youth Detention Centre. I am optimistic that we can find the best solution for Burnaby.

BURNABYNorth BC Green

BC NDP

BC Liberal

Carrie McLaren Janet Routledge Richard Lee

Pipelines through Burnaby, jobs, homelessness, health care (high drug costs, long waits). Again, we have policies available online for all of these issues. I will say we should not be thinking about expanding pipelines, instead we should be making the low carbon, green energy industry a priority for our economy and region. We already have some companies based here in Burnaby with expertise in high tech research and development. Let’s expand that.

What are the big-picture issue/s this election? If you elect the BC Liberals, you will end up with more of the same – politicians who say one thing to get elected and do something else once they are in power, political leaders who promise prosperity but deliver it to only a few, and a government that tries to divert attention from its failures by launching a fact-free campaign of misinformation. By voting NDP you not only have an opportunity to elect a new government, ROUTLEDGE you can change the way you are governed. What are the local issue/s that matter most to voters this election? There’s an over-riding sense that things aren’t quite right. Specific issues raised most frequently on the doorstep include the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, the growing inaccessibility of post-secondary education, over-crowded K-12 classrooms, and the shortage of quality affordable childcare. The NDP platform is about creating a diversified, prosperous economy that supports good jobs. We will improve access to skills training and post-secondary education for young people; support small businesses, high tech, film and TV, and our resource industries; improve care for seniors; invest in childcare; and better learning conditions in our public education system. We will bring back rigorous, science-based environmental assessments. We reject turning Metro Vancouver into a major oil exporting port. We will pay for these initiatives by asking those who can afford it – like banks, major industrial polluters, and the top 2% – to pay a little more.

Why vote for you? I have been working hard to serve my constituents in Burnaby North for 12 years. My constituency office has provided hundreds of prompt referrals and consultation services each year to the residents. I have open coffee meetings every month to listen and discuss issues. What are the big-picture issue/s this election? This election is about how B.C. can move forward to a stronger economy and secure a better tomorrow for our next generation. It is about which party can better manage the province’s finances so that we can be debt-free in the future. It is about creating more jobs by encouraging the growth in the private sector and taking advantage of opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region. We will control spending and balance the budget. We have a plan to pay down government debt and to modernize LEE education and skills training. We will make sure B.C. workers are first in line for jobs. What are the local issue/s that matter most to voters this election? Vibrant business environment in the Hastings Corridor; transportation/ parking, Chevron refinery, growth of the Brentwood Town Centre, jobs, affordable housing, health care, education and environment concerns including pipeline issues. Further reduction of small business tax and regulations will help small businesses. Work with TransLink and the City of Burnaby to resolve transportation/parking issues. Continue monitoring the operation of Chevron Refinery. Continue to grow our economy so that more revenue will be generated to support health care and education. When a formal proposal on the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion is brought forward, the government would consider such a project only if our five principled conditions are satisfied.

What are the big-picture issue/s that matter most to voters this election? What will you/your party do to address them? From various meetings at doors and community allcandidates forums, I’d say the concerns are the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, environment/economic issues, education and health care and government spending. All our party policies are available online 24/7/365 and are community and member driven. There MCLAREN is not enough space to fill it all in here. All these issues are interconnected and I believe require discussions between all members of the Legislature to work. What are the local issue/s that matter most to voters this election?

Why vote for you? As a lead organizer in the campaign to get rid of the HST, I worked with hundreds of Burnaby volunteers to force a referendum on this unfair tax. During that campaign, I met Burnaby residents who had lost faith in the democratic process, who felt their opinions and votes didn’t count. That’s the main reason I decided to run, and why I have knocked on the doors of more than 10,000 voters in Burnaby North.

NDP keeps ‘wiggle room’ on oil pipeline

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Despite repeated questioning on oil exports this election, B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix still won’t explicitly rule out a twinning of the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline through B.C. Dix announced his party’s stance against a “massive expansion of oil tankers” through Vancouver harbour on Earth Day, to much applause from

environmentalists who interpreted it as a rocksolid ‘No’ to Kinder Morgan. But two days later NDP energy critic John Horgan told Black Press the NDP doesn’t reject the pipeline twinning project outright and would wait to see how Kinder Morgan might revise its plan, possibly using a different terminal. Dix then rejected any other Metro Vancouver terminal, such as Deltaport, which Horgan had suggested the company might propose. The NDP leader was grilled in both the radio and TV leaders’ debates

on the possibility Kinder Morgan might propose bending the new pipeline south from Abbotsford to a terminal in Washington State, avoiding Vancouver. Both times Dix stuck to his position against Metro Vancouver becoming as an oil superport without issuing a blanket pipeline rejection. “What I say ‘no, period’ to is transforming the ports of Metro Vancouver PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until May 31, 2013.

Election issue: Dix refusal to fully reject Kinder Morgan twinning keeps doubt alive

into major oil export ports,” Dix said when asked in an intervew Wednesday why he doesn’t fully reject the twinning. “That increase in oil tankers off our coast is not in our economic and environmental interest and I’m against it.” Dix said Kinder Morgan is free to submit its formal pipeline application and said he has laid out clearer parameters than the B.C. LIberals’ “trust us” stance on

new oil pipelines. Asked if he sees any potential gamechanging revision to the pipeline proposal that makes it more attractive by reducing risk or adding benefits, he said no. On the notion of an alternate terminal, Dix said changing the launch point of tankers a few nautical miles “doesn’t make a significant amount of difference.” Not everyone is convinced.

“I think they’ve got some wiggle room,” B.C. Green Party leader Jane Sterk. “I think they could argue that if the tankers are going down south of the border, it’s not in B.C. waters.” SFU marketing professor Lindsey Meredith said it made perfect sense for the NDP to stake out a position against more oil tanker shipments through Burrard Inlet, given the concentration of concerned voters

there. And he said it likewise makes sense to keep the door open a crack to a different, less contentious terminal because B.C. still needs jobs and oil pipeline revenue. He said Deltaport or a Washington terminal “may well turn out to be do-able.” Meredith predicts an NDP victory will spur Kinder Morgan to busily rework the twinning proposal with a different outlet.

said Clan head coach Shelley Howieson in a SFU press release. Di Lorenzo had one of the top five grade point averages in her class at St. Thomas More, where her sister also played, according to a the release. “When I was looking at different schools I narrowed the decision down based on academics, the group dynamic of the team and the quality of the coaching. SFU seemed like a great fit,” said Di Lorenzo. “My sister and I are close and having her there already really gave me a feel for what to expect. We’ve never played competitively together before so that will be a nice bonus, to play with her as I start my collegiate career and she finishes hers.” Marissa is heading into her senior season and has been the team’s top academic performer the last two years.

Ask a Pro Renovation Seminar + Expo to take place on May 16

GVHBA to hold renovation seminar The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will hold its popular Ask a Pro Renovation Seminar + Expo on May 16 at the Croatian Cultural Centre in Vancouver. “Home renovation continues to be popular and there is no shortage of fly-by-night operators taking advantage of trusting homeowners,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Dealing in the cash-only underground economy to avoid tax, rather than working with a professional renovator, exposes homeowners to liability issues and close scrutiny from municipal bylaw officials, provincial safety authorities and others.” Participants will learn about the

stages of the renovation process, including finding a renovator, permits and design. Presenters include renovators, a lawyer, a finance expert and a municipal building official. The exhibition area will be open between 5:30 and 7:30 to allow homeowners to speak with the more than 30 experts in attendance beforehand, and then the seminar will follow from 7:30 to 9. Admission is free, but homeowners are asked to pre-register and bring a food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. To register, visit www.gvhba.org, email signmeup@ gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

Chilliwack retirement living

Retire in style at Englewood Courtyard By Kerry Vital

Resort-style retirement living has come to Chilliwack at Englewood Courtyard. With amenities right on-site and elegant homes that are perfect for downsizers, it’s not hard to see why the project is already so popular. “We wanted to build a community atmosphere,” says realtor Kathy Virtanen. “This is the place you’re looking for if you want a sense of community. You don’t always see that anymore.” Englewood Courtyard is part of a master-planned community just for adults over the age of 45 called Englewood Village. Residents will find leisure activities, shopping, entertainment and restaurants close by; outdoor activities are particularly easy to find at Englewood Courtyard, with its close proximity to Cultus Lake and Chilliwack Lake. Among the amenities on-site is a parking lot for RVs and Club Englewood, a 2,500 square-foot clubhouse with an exercise area, social lounge, kitchen, reflecting pond and a spa. You can also enjoy a patio barbecue area, bocce courts, community garden and a dog park, Virtanen says.

“

We wanted to build a community atmosphere,” says realtor Kathy Virtanen.

Chilliwack has long been a popular place for Lower Mainland retirees due to its lower real estate prices, beautiful scenery and relaxing atmosphere, so it comes as no surprise that buyers have been very interested in purchasing at Englewood Courtyard. Virtanen notes that she often hears buyers saying the good value, size of the homes and great design are the reasons they are interested in the project, along with the simply amazing views of the local mountains and rural surroundings. The first phase is currently on sale, with 40 one- and two-bedroom condominium residences ranging from 879 to 1,400 square feet in a variety of floorplans. This phase of Englewood Courtyard will be the first five-storey wood frame building in Chilliwack, and will be followed by two four-storey

buildings in the later phases. Those concerned about sound travelling between the condos will find peace of mind in knowing that there will be plenty of sound reduction between each home. The residences themselves are spacious and open, and are built with West Coast-style architecture that includes glass railings and plenty of windows to let the light pour in. Each home features nine to 12-foot vaulted ceilings, laminate flooring, maple shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops and a gas fireplace, among other beautiful features. Airconditioning for those hot summer months is also included, along with underground parking for your convenience. The condos will be built using SAFERhome standards that allow you to age-in-place, so you won’t have to worry about moving again in your golden years. If you’re in the mood for a little bit of the outdoors, you can relax on your own covered balcony or private terrace. Homes at Englewood Courtyard start at $184,900. For more information, visit www.englewoodcourtyard.ca, call 604-824-8232, or visit the presentation centre at 45750 Keith Wilson Road, Chilliwack. The presentation centre is open between 12 and 4 every day.

The homes at Englewood Courtyard feature beautiful views over Chilliwack, along with gourmet kitchens, covered balconies or patios, spacious floorplans and plenty of natural light.
