Hoogland did have some advice for others who might be involved in similar incidents in the future: “Whenever you’re involved in an incident where the electrical is involved, it’s always a good idea to remain in the vehicle instead of trying to escape it because chances of getting electrocuted are much greater if you hit the ground.� Contact Jacqueline Ronson at jronson@yukon-news.com

that cabinet had already made up its mind and wasn’t going to discuss it with us. We’re not pleased with that and that’s why we brought forward this resolution.” The association was told the reason why funding was pulled for the city of Whitehorse was because the rental housing situation had changed, Streicker said. “We don’t believe the situation has changed and we’re questioning some of the stats,” Streicker added. In a letter to Curtis dated September 19, Cathers addressed the mayor’s concerns regarding the decision to cancel funding for housing projects in Whitehorse. Cathers outlined a number of changes to the rental market since 2013. Those include a rental vacancy rate of 1.5 per cent in March 2013 as opposed to a 3.1 per cent rate in December the same year. That rate had risen to 7.1 per cent by April this year, he added in the letter. “The majority of Whitehorse area landlords are ‘little landlords’ who own one or two rental units,”
Cathers wrote. “Many of these people rely on income from a rental unit to help pay the mortgage on their home. If government intervenes in the market in a new way, it is vital that we first have a clear understanding of the effect that action will have on individual homeowners and other middle-class Yukoners. “Once it had been demonstrated that the market had shifted significantly, the government of Yukon made the decision not to approve any multi-million dollar grants for Whitehorse projects.” He also said the remaining Northern Housing Trust funds would be used “for other initiatives,” but didn’t specify which. Curtis, whose original letter was dated July 31, said he doesn’t buy the minister’s explanation. “That’s not a true reflection, in our opinion, of affordable housing,” Curtis said. “It’s disappointing – we asked to work with the government to reinstate that program and were told the decision was already made for that funding and we’re no longer privy to that informa-
tion. The reality is we have the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce telling us it’s incredibly concerning to large retailers that are having a real struggle to find housing for a lot of workers who are coming to live here.” While it’s not the city’s mandate to provide housing, it is its mandate to listen to citizens and try to work with them to lobby other governments, Curtis said. “Unfortunately there’s no appetite at all to listen to the concerns and ‘we don’t think there is a concern’ is all we’re getting,” Curtis said. Both Curtis and Streicker agree that rental rates are out of reach for many Yukoners. They say they keep hearing from residents who aren’t able to make ends meet because of the housing situation. “We have to have a bit of an option for people who are coming here or for those who have been here a little while,” Curtis said. “It’s falling on deaf ears and that part, to me, is incredibly concerning.” Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

Long view is needed to wisely manage mining Ross Burnet

enjoyed Kyle Carruthers’s Sept. 3 column concerning tough questions about federal transfers. He makes an interesting point about the perceptions the rest of Canada might hold about a territory that receives substantial per capita transfer payments but also a region that transmits active opinions that oppose development. He surmises that these realities might play into one another. He suggests that a strong and lasting preservation ethic might decrease transfer payments because, he ponders, “what’s in it for the rest of Canada?” I think he means apart from a strong and lasting preservation ethic, which is also of value to Canadians. The tide is certainly turning towards environmental protection and preservation. Long forgotten and buried notions are re-dawning on people that natural resources ‘do’ much more than provide materials and jobs. Materials and jobs are important for the way our society functions but the natural world serves much more than that. Severe environmental changes like those caused by climate change are regularly described in terms of what just happened and not so much about what was decided months ago to set things up. I’m not suggesting that this causes that, but I am suggesting that everything causes everything. The natural world is not just a store of materials; it’s a self-nourishing system that reaches much further than we have yet imagined let alone comprehended. With a
number of decades of more or less ignoring this relationship, humans have had a significant negative impact on the natural world. We’ve had a few jobs along the way and also gotten a few materials too, which has led to some remarkable advances, without a doubt. Good for us. But not just good. Carruthers recognizes that an exorbitant amount of resource development and, he admits, environmental degradation would have to occur in order for Yukon to pay its own way. The transfer payments are large and the Yukon can’t support itself fully. Let’s just take these two abstractions out of the debate for a moment because we are likely going to continue to have some transfer payments and some development. The issue has been paralyzed by the question: how much? That’s the wrong debate. It’s not how much, but how? It’s methods that matter. It’s great to find and make use of ore and a host of other resources, but across the nation, the resulting degradation, catastrophic accidents and side-effects have not been avoided or mitigated in the way that proponents often suggest and many environmental review processes seem to allow. We will certainly produce some effects to get our widgets, but we tend to not think about how far those effects travel, their ultimate severity, or their cumulative impacts until there is a catastrophe. We’ve tended to elevate the value of the short-term financial benefits, at the expense of direct health and welfare. Publisher

The resource sector is intelligent and informed. I think it should kindly drop the PR campaigns and the boundary pushing conferences and concentrate on the wisest places, the wisest methods, the wisest research and innovation to constantly improve how it explores, develops, refines, and transports natural resources. Embrace the regulation that is necessary to protect the public good and convince the public of the value of the industry not with bumper stickers, but with smarts everyone can appreciate. Do this and watch stocks soar. Perhaps there would not be quite so many “don’t develop” messages if the means of developing were not so invasive and devastating to water, species, and habitats. The Yukon will probably see more development. By all means, let’s create jobs. But let’s also make it a worldleading operation with a philosophy for the times that is meaningful to Canadians. That’s what’s in it for all. And widgets too. Market forces can still compete for profits, but also for integrity of methods that preserve values of health throughout.

That detail is often lost in Carruthers the politics. The Yukon’s Peel watershed and the botched planning process surrounding it is another case in point.

Time for businesses to push boundaries Businesses in the Yukon need to learn to speak with one powerful voice. In my experience in the Yukon, this has not always been the case. The upcoming Yukon Chamber of Commerce Opportunities North Conference (Oct. 6-8) is an excellent chance for businesses to come together and give voice to pushing the boundaries of what business can achieve in the Yukon. Opportunities North is part of a rotating series of conferences that finds its way to Whitehorse every third year. In the intervening years it is hosted in Edmonton and Yellowknife. I invite all businesses with a desire for a brighter economic future in Yukon to join us for an important dialogue – how can we push the boundaries so businesses can do more to set their own bright future in Canada’s North? We have assembled expert panels, keynote speakers and other resources to help frame the challenges and opportunities that face us in many areas: energy, transportation, tourism, innovation, political partnerships, labour markets and more. We want to challenge our audiences to think broadly about our future – and what we all can do to make it brighter. In the Yukon and across the north businesses must attract capital to support projects, and to do that we have to have the vision to create and articulate great projects. Capital is being realized in several sectors, for instance the
resource industries are attracting millions of dollars through the stock markets and several companies have Chinese investors. How can we increase the level of investment, so key projects can become part of our sustainable future – producing jobs and a strong economy? These are some of the questions we want to explore at Opportunities North ’14. Let’s look at our tourism sector. They have pushed some boundaries by leading the establishment of some of the world’s premier outdoor adventure operations that attract river enthusiasts, hikers, fishermen and hunters alike to our pristine wilderness. They come for the promise of vast wide open spaces and leave touched by the quality of the people they have met and the true spirit of adventure that permeates our land. With the development of Carcross area both as an adventure centre (think world renowned mountain biking trails) and a centre for perhaps one of the most forward thinking exclusive eco-resorts on the planet (the Millhaven Bay project) we have some inspirational projects on the drawing board, but more are needed. We need to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit in the Yukon and the belief in the “possible.” The recent announcement of a $3.6 million addition to tourism marketing over the next two years will be a great help! Let’s be incredibly inventive in how this is spent so it reaches new potential visitors with a compelling “Yukon” message.
to speak up and get involved. But the reality is that the politics of the Peel watershed are actually rather static. Our governing Yukon Party has made its position on the issue crystal clear (or at least it has since January 2014): it has a plan for the Peel that differs significantly from the plan created by the Peel Watershed Regional Planning Commission and shows no signs that it is open to any significant changes to that plan. A territorial election is at least a year away – possibly more – so the chances that the opposition to the Yukon government’s plan will achieve a political solution to this dispute in the short term are not good. For the moment at least, the future of the Peel watershed – one of the largest unspoiled areas in the world – will be determined by the resolution of rather dry legal issues in the courts between the Government of the Yukon and the several First Nations whose overlapping traditional territory lie in the Peel region. The issues to be decided by the court have little to do with the economic and environmental
concerns that motivate supporters and opponents of the government’s plan. Whether or not any of the various plans that have been presented for the region represent sound policy is not the question guiding the court. Instead the court is left with the task of resolving several somewhat esoteric legal questions relating to the interpretation of the Umbrella Final Agreement and the process that it entails. The court is not deciding whether the Crest iron deposit on the Snake River should or should not be exploited, it is deciding whether the plan presented by the Yukon government in January 2014 qualifies as a “modification” of the plan created by the planning commission or if it is a whole new thing. The court is not deciding what percentage of the Peel should be open to roads or development, but rather whether the Yukon government is entitled to introduce all new modifications at the final stage of the planning process. None of this stops the politically active among us from packing the courtroom or holding moments of silence on
the courthouse steps. This is all very healthy in a democracy. An engaged public shows that Yukoner’s take the future of our territory seriously, and are motivated to express their views. My only caution is that when politics and law collide as they do in the Peel watershed we should bear in mind that a legal system that makes decisions based on the rule of law is also of fundamental importance to our society. The court has to make its decisions based on the legal principles involved in the particular case, and those principles may or may not align with your political views or mine or even those of the judge. If the court decides that the government followed the process set out in the UFA it does not mean that it wants to bulldoze the Peel, and if the court decides that the government did not follow the process does not mean it is anti-development. Regardless of which legal arguments the court ultimately finds persuasive, the political debate will go on. Kyle Carruthers is born and raised Yukoner who lives and practises law in Whitehorse.

Liberals win majority in New Brunswick election amid vote counting problems Canadian Press
FREDERICTON mid a bizarre vote-counting snafu, rookie politician Brian Gallant led his Liberal party to a majority election victory in New Brunswick, as voters rejected the Progressive Conservatives’ bid to jump-start a moribund economy by expanding its shale gas industry. “After a long night, it is with a great deal of humility that I accept the responsibility of being the premier of our beautiful province,� Liberal Leader Brian Gallant told supporters inside a gymnasium in Grande-Digue, N.B., early Tuesday. “I feel so humble and grateful to have earned your trust.� With most of the polls reporting after a tight battle that went well into the night, the tabulation of ballots was suspended Monday around 10:45 p.m. for almost two hours as concerns arose about technical glitches with memory cards and discrepancies with vote-counting machines. Before the count was stopped, Gallant’s Liberals and the Tories under David Alward were locked in a tight contest. That changed once the results were updated with the Liberals winning 27 ridings compared to the Progressive Conservatives with 21. Green party Leader David Coon was elected in the riding of Fredericton South, a breakthrough for a party that has never held a seat in the New Brunswick legislature. The vote counting glitch caused the Tories to call for all the ballots to be counted by hand, while the Liberals said Elections New Brunswick needed to be left alone to determine the outcome. “Obviously, there was a delay but that doesn’t deny the results tonight,� Gallant said. “We believe we’ve clearly had a convincing plurality of the votes and we certainly have a majority of the seats. It makes it very clear that New Brunswickers have asked for change and that’s exactly what we’ll try to deliver for them over the next few weeks, months and years.� A spokesman for Elections New Brunswick said the agency encountered a technical problem with the tabulation machines it was using to count ballots. Paul Harpelle said in

The province’s economic growth rate was also the worst in the country last year. While its jobless rate dipped to 8.7 per cent last month – slightly lower than its three Atlantic neighbours – that snapshot figure masks an annual trend that has seen steady increases since 2007. The province’s poor economic record was a political millstone for Alward, who also promised to expand the province’s forestry industry by granting companies more access to softwood on Crown land – another commitment that did not sit well with environmentalists. Alward also admitted during a leadership debate that he had failed to accomplish what he set out to do four years ago when he promised to balance the province’s books before the end of his mandate. Alward and Gallant were both elected in their ridings by wide margins. But nine of Alward’s cabinet ministers went down in defeat. As for the New Democrats, who have not held a seat in the legislature for nine years, leader Dominic Cardy, 44, tried to appeal to Liberal voters by shifting his party’s economic policies to the centre, promJacques Boissinot/The Canadian Press ising a balanced budget, tax credits New Brunswick Tory supporter Aaron Bouma reacts as he watches the election results unfold for employers who create new jobs and an end to corporate subsidies. at David Alward’s riding’s campaign party on Monday in Woodstock N.B.

Canada’s big announcement at UN climate summit: Follow the U.S. Alexander Panetta Canadian Press
UNITED NATIONS arack Obama didn’t just make announcements for his own country at a United Nations climate summit Tuesday – he got to make Canada’s, too. Canada made two main commitments at the summit, where countries were urged to bring bold policies to fight climate change. And both borrow heavily from industrial regulations the U.S. president has already set in motion. One was to match American vehicle-emissions standards. The other, to curb the use of HFC coolants – several days after the White House announced plans for executive orders, and convened a meeting of business leaders who’ve committed to slashing hydrofluorocarbons by 80 per cent by 2050. Both of those things came up in passing in the president’s speech to the conference, among the list of measures he’d already announced. In that speech, he also announced plans to incorporate climatechange considerations into U.S. foreign-development projects, and referred to his far more controversial executive order to regulate the highest-polluting sector in the U.S., old power plants. He urged everyone else to get moving on a post-2015 treaty, in remarks that appeared to be aimed primarily at the Chinese. “Nobody gets a pass,� Obama said. “The emerging economies that have experienced some of
B
the most dynamic growth in recent years have also emitted rising levels of carbon pollution. It is those emerging economies that are likely to produce more and more carbon emissions in the years to come. “So nobody can stand on the sidelines on this issue. We have to set aside the old divides.� He also made a specific reference to an effort made in Canada – although that reference was to the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which he said would help guide new efforts against fast-rising and potent HFCs. Obama spoke just after noon. About five hours later, Canada’s environment minister said her government would be releasing details soon on a plan to reduce hydrofluorocarbons. “Let me be clear, Canada is fully committed to achieving a strong and effective global climate agreement in Paris next year,� said the prepared text of Leona Aglukkaq’s remarks. “Both domestically and internationally we are demonstrating this commitment. We are not waiting to act. We are taking decisive action to ensure Canada remains a leader and contributes its part to this global cause.� Prime Minister Stephen Harper arrived in New York later in the day for three days of events at the UN and with business leaders. Before speaking at the UN General Assembly on Thursday, Harper will appear at an event with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on maternal health. On that issue, he’s received praise from the UN for corralling international support to

reduce newborn deaths. On the climate issue, the plaudits have been a little more sparse: “So nice of him to show up,� one UN staffer cracked within the earshot of Canadian media, upon hearing that the prime minister was headed to town later in the day. There were a number of announcements at Tuesday’s climate summit – but also ample evidence of the multi-directional, international fingerpointing that has hampered greenhouse gas reduction efforts. One particularly colourful example came from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who scolded wealthy polluting countries for causing an “evil of such planetary dimensions� and then trying to offload their responsibilities on developing countries. Just after Obama spoke, Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli said the world should treat developing countries – including his – differently when imposing climate rules. That being said, China also promised to reduce its emissions per GDP ratio by 45 per cent by 2020, using a 2005 baseline. That wouldn’t result in an actual decrease, because China’s economy has grown so rapidly. Environmentalist groups at the conference, however, saluted the pledge as going beyond anything China had previously committed to doing.

The UN also endorsed a call for putting a price on carbon. The idea, led by the World Bank, has the support of 73 countries including China and Russia, and more than 1,000 businesses including six oil companies. It has not received the endorsement of either Canada or the U.S., where a cap-and-trade system or carbon tax stand virtually no chance of getting adopted by Congress. That’s what has prompted Obama to proceed with administrative regulations wherever possible, much to the consternation
of critics who accuse him of overstepping his constitutional authority. Seven U.S. states and three Canadian provinces did sign onto the World Bank commitment: Alberta, B.C. and Quebec. Harper, meanwhile, met with British Prime Minister David Cameron during a climate change dinner and congratulated him on the outcome of the Scottish referendum. Scotland voted to remain part of Britain in last Thursday`s vote, with 55 per cent rejecting independence.
