▶ RESIDENTS SHOULD BE CONCERNED OVER SHOOTINGS, BUT ‘THEY SHOULD NOT BE FEARFUL,’ TOP COP TELLS CROWD KEVIN DIAKIW
More than 700 people packed into a Surrey high school for a forum on crime Tuesday night, an event scheduled as Surrey and North Delta grapple with 22 shootings in six weeks. The most recent shooting on Sunday morning killed Arun Bains, the 22-yearold nephew of Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains. Prior to the start of the meeting, many people said they were looking for answers. Naida Robinson was at the forum, held in the gymnasium of Tamanawis Secondary School at 66 Avenue and 126 Street, and said she wants to see dedicated RCMP officers assigned to Newton. That way, crime files will remain consistent with the same officers. Darlene Bowyer said she wants some assurance there will be a meeting of all levels of government, something she’s been requesting for some time. Neither of those issues were brought up by officials at the meeting. Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said the recent spate of gun violence is keeping him up at night. “Are we doing enough?” he said he asks himself at night, adding the shootings are a priority for the Surrey RCMP. “Then I think about it a bit more and say ‘that’s not enough’.” He said the Mounties need to better engage the community and when that happens, real progress will occur. Fordy also said the community should be concerned – “but they should not be fearful.” “The root causes of these shootings are drug use and drug trafficking,” Fordy told the largely South Asian crowd. Mayor Linda Hepner said the city is doing what it can.

School board blasts new bill
A new deal identifies 10 Metro Vancouver properties – including Surrey Bend Regional Park at 17529 112 Ave. – where Trans Mountain crews have until Nov. 30 to conduct non-intrusive supervised visual surveys as part of work needed for the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline epxpansion.
▼ SURREY TRUSTEE SAYS PROPOSED LAW ALLOWS EDUCATION MINISTRY TO ACT AS A DICTATORSHIP SHEILA REYNOLDS
Surrey school trustees are demanding the Ministry of Education rescind proposed provincial legislation they say will override their right to govern democratically. Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act, was introduced by the Ministry of Education last month. While the proposed law includes changes to teacher professional development that proved controversial when introduced, there are other portions that directly affect B.C. boards of education. For example, the bill would change the School Act to broaden the Minister of Education’s authority over school district matters, allowing him to administer directives if he believes a board has not done its job or if he deems it in the public’s interest to step in. “The board believes it erodes what we do,” said Surrey Trustee Terry Allen, noting the bill would allow the province to override the right of elected B.C. trustees to make autonomous decisions. The proposed legislation also includes provisions relatTerry Allen ing to shared services in the education sector, allowing the minister to designate specific service providers to boards, whether they deem them cost effective or not. If passed, Bill 11 would also amend the school act so that a board’s management of schools and property would be “subject to the orders” of the minister. “It’s absolutely diabolical … it’s really problematic,” Allen said. “At the end of the day, if we don’t agree… someone will come in and override our decisions and tell us what to do.” Surrey trustees were expected to vote on a motion Thursday, demanding the province immediately quash the proposed legislation and allow for some “productive dialogue” with boards of education, which had no warning Bill 11 was in the works.

Oil pipeline crews to scout possible routes ▼ SURREY BEND REGIONAL PARK ONE OF 10 METRO SITES OPENED TO KINDER MORGAN SURVEYORS JEFF NAGEL
Metro Vancouver is bracing for protests in regional parks such as Surrey Bend after negotiating a deal with Kinder Morgan granting its crews access to plan the route of the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. Regional district staff outline the agreements in a briefing note that will be before Metro Vancouver mayors at a meeting today (Friday). It sets out 10 Metro-owned properties – including portions of newly created Surrey Bend Regional Park, Colony Farm Regional Park in Port Coquitlam and the closed Coquitlam Landfill – where Trans Mountain crews have until Nov. 30 to conduct non-intrusive supervised visual surveys on foot. Metro has forbidden the use of vehicles, machines or any
digging or sampling, and it has reserved the right to terminate access with 24 hours notice, but regional district staff have still flagged the visits as a potential source of conflict with anti-pipeline protesters. “Once the licence agreements are ratified and Trans Mountain accesses the properties, there is a high likelihood of stakeholder inquiries and media interest,” according to the briefing note. “Conflict in the form of public protest and civil disobedience are considered real possibilities.” If that prediction proves accurate, the two regional parks may be ground zero for a replay of the confrontations that took ▶ “Conflict in place last November on Burnaby Mountain, where more than 100 the form of public protesters were arrested. protest and civil More recently, protesters rallied against the project near the disobedience proposed route in Fort Langley are... real on April 11.

The National Energy Board (NEB) has launched an online interactive map that shows the locations and details of pipeline incidents such as oil spills and gas releases. The map shows 65 incidents in B.C. since 2008, which is as far back as the data goes, and offers almost no details. Most of the B.C. incidents involve gas pipeline releases or fires, mainly in northeastern B.C. It shows four pipeline spills of oil in B.C. over the last seven years from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline – a 305-cubic-metre spill in Burnaby after a malfunction at the tank farm in 2009, a 90-cubic-metre spill of crude oil at the Sumas tank farm near Abbotsford in 2012, a 2013 release of four cubic metres of oil near Hope and an 11-cubic-metre release of waste oil near Kamloops in 2011.

The regional district has not formally adopted a position on the
pipeline twinning and stresses the access agreements do not constitute any form of approval. It also addressed public concern that Kinder
Morgan may assemble pipeline components in Colony Farm park for a tunnel under the Fraser River – a possibility that has already
sparked protests. Metro Vancouver says it has not consented to any use of its lands for construction staging or temporary work space, nor has Trans Mountain made such a request. Metro is an intervenor in the National Energy Board (NEB) review of the project and has filed numerous questions to Kinder Morgan. Regional district officials are expected to report back next month with their assessment of impacts on regional assets, infrastructure and the environment. Friday’s meeting will also see Metro mayors meet and question NEB Chair Peter Watson and Canada Coast Guard Assistant Commissioner Roger Girouard, who is likely to face more questions about spill preparedness in the wake of the April 8 spill of bunker fuel oil in Vancouver harbour. For his part, NEB chair Watson, who is on a cross-country outreach tour, wants the mayors’ advice on how the agency can improve oversight of pipelines and provide cities more information they don’t already have. Mayors are also to discuss a call by Burnaby for changes to the NEB public hearing process for the Kinder Morgan project. Mayors from seven B.C. municipalities, including Burnaby and Vancouver, have already issued a declaration of non-confidence in the NEB review.
Family of slain man speaks out
KEVIN DIAKIW
The man shot down on Surrey streets was not a criminal or linked to gangs, his family said. “This is an extraordinarily painful time. Arun was the heart of our family,” a press release issued by relatives says. “We are still trying to accept the reality that our son, brother, cousin, and nephew is gone.” Bains, the 22-year-old nephew of Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains, died April 19 after being shot near 126 Street and 88 Avenue. The young man’s death is believed to be linked to a series of
brazen street shootings involving rival drug dealers that has plagued Surrey and North Delta in recent weeks. An online court search of Bains shows only one appearance, and that was for failure to properly wear a seatbelt in April, 2014 in Victoria. He has no adult criminal past, according to court records. However the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Bains was “known to be associated to the people connected to the street level drug trade conflict.”
▼ NEWTON CRIME FORUM from page 1
“That is a huge fear for them to report crime,” the woman said, adding police outreach could be used to educate people new to the country to assuage their fears. A teenager said he knew most of the victims involved in recent shootings whose photos were published in local papers. Their notoriety did not come as a surprise, he said. He challenged all high school students at the event to write down the RCMP tip line (604-915-6566) and prepare to use it. “Don’t think of it as snitching, think of it as saving someone’s life,” he said. Gurpreet Saran expressed grief over his son, Amritpal, whose body was found dumped on Colebrook Road two years ago. He called for an end to the veil of silence preventing people from coming forward. Jesse Sahota, who was formerly involved with a bad element, also addressed the crowd. “I remember being called a gangster-wannabe when I was only 12 and 13 years old,” Sahota said. “There was a sense in me that I wanted to be a tough guy, I wanted to be the top dog.” The turning point in his life was when he and his family reached out to the Surrey School District for help. “In 2010, I graduated from this very school,” Sahota said of Tamanawis. He has also graduated from Simon Fraser University. “Today I’m very proud to say that I work with the Surrey School District and provide the same services that were provided to me in 2005.”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you feel safe in Surrey? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com
A speaker makes his point at a crime forum in Surrey on Tuesday night. KEVIN DIAKIW
Last week we asked: Do you usually take part in Surrey’s Vaisakhi parade? Here’s how you responded:
Yes 18% No 82%
From tragedy to action The tragic death of 22-yearold Arun Bains has moved discussion of the lengthy, ongoing shooting spree in Surrey and North Delta to a new level. He was shot early Sunday morning while driving near 126 Street and 88 Avenue, and died from his injuries in hospital. His death has drawn a great deal of attention across the country, as it comes after a series of shootings in Surrey and Delta that police have been increasingly concerned about. They say that many of them are related to turf wars between low-level drug dealers. This is the first fatality which has been linked to this latest turf war, but there may well be others, police fear. Arun Bains is the nephew of well-respected Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains, who has spoken many times about the need to deal with gang activity in Surrey and elsewhere. The Bains family said Tuesday that Arun was not linked to drug dealing and criminal activity. “Arun was not a criminal. He was not a gang member. He was loved by everyone who knew him,” the family says. “Arun was a fine young man who loved his family and had a bright future ahead of him.” He had no criminal record,
with his only appearance in court last year in Victoria, and that was in connection with failure to properly wear a seatbelt. As police and city officials have said many times in recent weeks, these random shootings are bound to take the lives of innocent people. That is why the shootings, and the level of indifference shown to the rest of community by the shooters, is so troubling. Guns are widely available and in widespread use by people involved in criminal activity, and those involved in “dial-a-dope” operations that are apparently at the root of these turf wars are routinely carrying guns. Thus, when there is random shooting, there is no guarantee that those who have absolutely no connection to these activities won’t be injured or killed. That is the fear that many people in Surrey, particularly in the northwest part of the city, have. They legitimately fear for their personal safety, whether walking or driving. Hopefully this tragedy will galvanize many citizens, and in particular the families and friends of those directly involved in the shootings, into action. The latest fatality offers
definitive proof that loved ones are killed as a result of these senseless and downright stupid drug turf wars. People who know anything about this shooting, or any of the other shootings, need to get in touch with police and help them bring this needless war to a quick end. Police need evidence in order to make arrests. Thus far, few people are talking. A human life is far more valuable than any amount of money. Most people believe this, and it should be enough of a motivation to talk to police. Arun Bains’ family says it will do whatever it can to help end the violence playing out on Surrey streets. “We are determined to support our community’s efforts to end this violence and spare another family this pain,” the family says. “We strongly urge anyone with information about this incident or any criminal activity to contact the police immediately.” Anyone with information can call the new 24-hour tip line at 604-915-6566.

Pipelines efficient and safe ▼ WITHOUT THEM, OIL WILL BE TRANSPORTED VIA TRAINS AND TRUCKS Re: “NEB online map tracks pipeline trouble.” Despite the fact that there are frequent pipeline spills, given the amount of oil that is run through them and how frequently they are operated, the amount spilled is not that significant. Although there are harsh environmental effects, one thing I think a lot of
people don’t realize is that whether or not a pipeline is built, the oil will still get produced, and ultimately make its way to where it is demanded. Without pipelines, the oil will simply get transported via trains or trucks. If pipelines are built, it is actually estimated to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emitted during the transportation process. In this sense, one could argue that building the pipeline is a good idea. Furthermore, there are many engineers working to ensure that leaks don’t occur. The data shows that fewer leaks
are happening as time moves forward, and it is therefore reasonable to assume that pipelines will be safer in the future. Even now, oil pipelines are considered to be over engineered for their task. I have no doubt that they are safe for use and efficient in what they do. As far as safety is concerned it think it is covered, however whether they are good for the community is a different concern altogether. Sachintha Premathilaka Surrey
▼ SMALL BREAKS FOR SENIORS DON’T MAKE UP FOR ADDED COSTS OF AGING There has been talk of late in media regarding how seniors are “abusing” others because when they get a senior’s discount with purchases, someone else has to pay the difference. The point they make is this: If some senior gets a meal for $2 less than the rest, then the rest are subsidizing this senior’s meal because the restaurant is simply going to pass on this “lost revenue” to everyone else. I have at least a partial solution. I am a senior who – in the interests of fairness – will gladly forward the monetary difference between the regular price and the senior’s price to anyone who will give me their name and address. The only thing I ask in return is that they reciprocate by paying my latest medical parking charges (at hospitals, doctors offices, labs, etc.). What could be fairer than this monetary exchange?

▼ CRIME PROBLEM IN SURREY MUST BE ADDRESSED BY ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT I attended the forum at Tamanawis Secondary School Tuesday night dealing with the current crime issues in Surrey. I appreciate the work that is being done by our RCMP and know that this is a very trying time for all police departments that are investigating this matter. It is hard to get evidence and lay charges when there is a code of silence from both the victims and their families. There is a reason these young offenders are doing these crimes. They feel that nothing will happen to them, even if they do get caught. If they knew there was a serious consequence, they would think twice before they got involved. It’s that revolving door of justice that keeps these type of crimes occurring in our communities. Now even the families are supporting them in their illegal activities, with their code of silence, as they are bringing in tens of thousands of untaxed dollars to the household every year. Although the forum was informative, I thought that a lot more time could have been dedicated to listening to the audience. Using the first hourand-a-half telling us what was being done gave control over the evening events, but it was information we already knew from the TV, radio and newspapers . It was good to see that the mayor is now willing to talk about crime issues in Surrey. If you do not talk about your problems, you are not working towards finding solutions. I still feel there is a disconnect and that resonated when a gentleman told mayor and council that they need to get out of their palace and into our communities where we can see them actually involved with trying to find solutions to our community problems. He received the loudest applause of the evening . I did not leave the meeting feeling that it was all smoke and mir-
rors. Our RCMP officer in charge did a good job and I felt he truly does care. The rows of politicians that were there did not engage with the audience afterwards and unfortunately, I felt they were only there to save face with their electorate and for the photo-op. I tried to have a conversation with my MLA afterwards; he was happy to see me but he was more interested in doing a television interview and off he went. I was encouraged by the story told by the young man brought in as an example of a success story for the youth-at-risk program administered by the Surrey school board. On the other hand, another young man from the audience said he saw the photos of the persons of interest in the paper and was not surprised at who they were. He went to school with them and everyone knew they were up to no good. So this tells me that there are many of them falling through the cracks. If fellow classmates knew they had chosen the wrong path, teachers certainly should have known, and it went unreported.
I do not want to hear one more time that the public is not at risk. When we have shootings throughout our neighbourhoods and streets in the middle of the day we are at risk. Personally, if I had done my banking 15 minutes later a couple of weeks ago I would have been right at the corner were the bullets were flying. When the City of Vancouver had crime problems in the late 1990s, all levels of governments met and the Federal government came forward with millions of dollars to help them put together safe injection sites and other programs and beef up their police department. A document was put together called the Vancouver Agreement. For a year-and-a-half now, Surrey community associations and groups have been requesting that the City of Surrey put together a multi-level government meeting so that we may find solutions to crime problems in Surrey –and possibly have our own Surrey Agreement. We are still waiting. Darlene Bowyer, Surrey
Where is police pride? ▼ NEWTON RCMP OFFICE IS A LITTLE WORSE FOR WEAR
I live in Newton (sympathy accepted). A daily routine finds me walking past the RCMP’s Newton station. The building is becoming an eyesore, worthy of being in competition with some of the hourly motels on King George Boulevard for least-cared-about building in Newton. The awnings are faded, dirty and torn. The stucco and features need a good power washing, or even better, painting. Is this the image that the Mounties want to project to the citizens of Newton? The windows, large with old white blinds that are twisted and broken in places, are sad to behold. You’d think that the RCMP, with their storied past and present-day service, could use the space to display an homage to their history of service to Canada.
A letter writer says the community policing office in Newton could use a spruce up. PHOTO SUBMITTED I don’t know who heads the Newton division, but I would want to think that the leadership would be embarrassed with the first impression that greets citizens. I understand that there will be those who feel that every dollar is best spent on fighting
▼ MORE OFFICERS ON THE GROUND Mayor Linda Hepner, 22 shootings in our community is a police issue. It is time to have more visible police in the cul-de-sacs, late at nights and early mornings on the streets in Surrey. Visible police outposts will be a deterrent. It was only three weeks ago your council flatly turned down an appeal from a local youth group for funds to rent a clubhouse. This facility could

Federal budget rewards ‘rich’ seniors, funds transit ▶ TFSA, RRIF LIMITS SHIFT PERSONAL FINANCE OPTIONS JEFF NAGEL
Seniors and savers are the big winners in the federal budget, while the Conservative government also pledged money for transit upgrades and a new maritime centre in Vancouver to shore up votes in B.C. A new $1-billiona-year Public Transit Fund was unveiled that along with other infrastructure funds could deliver the federal share of money for the Metro Vancouver mayors’ proposed transit expansion plan, including new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver. Metro mayors say the new fund should ensure the more than $1.5 billion in federal contributions assumed under their plan will materialize, provided area voters pass a referendum to raise their share through a sales tax hike. “I am pleased to see this ongoing commitment to support major transit projects in our cities,” said Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner. “It’s a real acknowledgment at the federal level that dedicated funding for transit is needed, especially in a rapidly growing city like Surrey. With our transit referendum well underway, we now need a ‘yes’ vote to secure our local portion of the funding.” The big personal finance change in the budget is an increase in the annual contribution limit from $5,500 to $10,000 for Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) effective next year. TFSA contributions don’t generate a tax deduction but the interest, stock dividends and capital gains earned within them aren’t taxed and the money can be withdrawn at any time. The higher limit will be useful to well-off seniors who must withdraw more than they need from retire-

ment accounts. They and others will be able to gradually shield more money from tax within TFSAs rather than taxable investment accounts. Critics say the change mainly benefits the wealthy and will threaten federal tax flows over time as more Canadian wealth is tax sheltered. “This is so blatantly for the very rich,” said Lorraine Logan, president of the Council of Senior Citizens Organizations of B.C. She said the budget will appeal to wealthy retirees but is silent on the concerns of lower-income seniors, from affordable housing to sustaining federal health transfers to the provinces. A second key change will give more flexibility to retirees with Registered Retirement Income Funds. While RRSP contributions earn a tax deduction, seniors later pay tax on RRIF
withdrawals and there’s a minimum withdrawal rate that rises each year after age 71. The budget reduces those minimum withdrawals modestly, allowing seniors to keep more money tax shielded in RRIFs longer. People caring for a terminally ill family member will now be able tap compassionate care benefits under Employment Insurance for six months instead of six weeks. The Tories also pledged to cut the small business tax rate from 11 to nine per cent by 2019 on the first $500,000 earned. The federal budget is balanced for the first time since 2008, with a $1.4-billion surplus that will go to pay down the debt. Home builders applauded a targeted home renovation tax credit for seniors to help them make their
homes more accessible. It rebates up to $1,500 out of $10,000 of spending on items like wheelchair ramps and walk-in bathtubs. On the spending site, items for B.C. include $3 million to match provincial contributions to develop an International Maritime Centre in Vancouver to promote B.C. as a maritime centre and best-inclass transportation and logistics hub. And $2 million is pledged to help the Pacific Salmon Foundation study survival problems of juvenile salmon and steelhead in the Salish Sea. Part of the budget touts federal oil spill response preparedness but also commits to fund nearly $14 million in scientific research over five years on “the behaviour of oil in freshwater in order to contribute to the knowledge base to effectively respond to
oil spills in some of the highest risk areas in Canada.”

she had to be good girl. It was simple logic even a small child could understand: If she was well-behaved, her dad might be in a better mood. And if he was happy, her brothers and mom would receive fewer beatings. But being a good little girl meant never complaining. Never raising her voice. Never showing her fear. Even when her father was forcing her to have sex with him. “I always felt I had to be the peacemaker, the mediator, to stop the violence in the home,” Patricia says. “So that’s why I allowed it to continue.” One of nine siblings – the second-oldest and only girl – she learned early on to follow the path of least resistance. She was three when she bit her mom because she
wouldn’t pick her up. Her dad delivered a beating she never forgot. “After that, I never felt safe getting angry. So I just made sure I did everything right.” Though her dad’s sexual advances had been happening for as long as she could remember, by age 10 she began studying the Bible and knew what her dad was doing to her wasn’t right. To protect her little brothers, she remained silent. At 14, her parents took her out of school to be a “second mom” for the growing family. She did half the housework and was charged entirely with the care of one of the babies. Her father’s sexual abuse continued unabated, but still, Patricia could say nothing. At 17, however, life as she knew it changed. On her way out of town to visit grandparents, she found out she was pregnant. It was her father’s child and she told the doctor so. When she returned
home, her dad informed her the doctor’s office had called, offering to perform an abortion. Her father punctuated the offer with a punch to her stomach. He then marched her back to the doctor’s office and forced her to say she was lying about him being the father. A sheltered teen with religion as her only moral compass, Patricia never considered having an abortion and quickly changed doctors. And although it was her dad’s, the baby growing inside her provided her with hope and a reason to live. “It kind of was a saviour for me because I was quite suicidal up to that point,” she recalls. “When I realized I had my own child to take care of, my mothering instincts kicked in and I was going to look after her totally.” Her father continued to abuse her throughout her pregnancy and after she brought her
baby girl home. Patricia stayed – still worried about her little brothers’ safety – and withstood the continued violation and shame. Finally, just before her 20th birthday, she moved out with her daughter. Her life of rape and incest – the only one she’d ever known – was behind her. But it would never stop haunting her. For years, raising her daughter on her own, Patricia never spoke of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. The shame was crippling. It wasn’t until she was in her late 30s that she shared her horrendous past. “When I started talking, I told everybody. I didn’t want to hold it in anymore. It was like, ‘I don’t have ownership of this anymore.’” But it would take another 20 years for her to seek justice. continued on page 11

▶ SPEAK UP ABOUT ABUSE, VICTIM URGES OTHERS from page 10
Four years ago, Patricia went to police in Ontario, where she had grown up, and told them everything. Because there was obvious DNA evidence linking her father to her daughter, he was criminally charged in 2012. It tore her family apart, most of her siblings resentful she’d chosen to dig up the past. “This was 40 years ago, why are you doing this?” they’d ask. Faced with the undeniable evidence of having fathered his own granddaughter, Patricia’s dad pled guilty. He is currently in jail. Now 62 and a grandmother of three, Patricia remains confident she did the right thing. Her father won’t be able to hurt anyone else. Her story is one of several highlighted by Surrey Women’s Centre (SWC) to commemorate National Victims of Crime Awareness Week this week. Though hers is a troubling story to share, Patricia does so to prompt others to speak out and seek help. “When they can see the worst case scenario and someone surviving and healing, then maybe it’ll give them the courage to do the right thing for themselves.” • • • The SWC has set up a website called Voices of Change that features stories of survivors of abuse. It’s similar to a site the women’s centre launched three years ago called Faces of Courage, but this time around, it includes also the perspective of anti-violence workers in the community, such as nurses, lawyers, police and counsellors. Winston Sayson, for example, is a prosecutor with Crown counsel who often takes on cases involving violent crimes against women and children. He says it’s of utmost important to show survivors of violence compassion and support. “These victims are damaged, traumatized, and in some cases, terrorized. What I do first is to seek to understand where they are coming from, and understand their hurt and fear,” Sayson says. Success, by his definition, isn’t necessarily a

include the stories of service providers alongside those of survivors. She hopes it demonstrates that counsellors, police, nurses and lawyers are regular, approachable people and that the work they do is more than merely a job. But first and foremost, she wants abused women to know there are myriad people waiting, wanting to provide support once victims are ready to ask for help. “Silence perpetuates the violence,” says Boyce. “When women learn they’re not alone, then they can take the next step.
Though it took Patricia decades to speak up, she encourages others to do the same, no matter how long ago the abuse may have occurred. “Go ahead with it because pedophiles never stop abusing… and you don’t want that on your conscience.” If you or someone you know needs help, call the 24-hour crisis line at Surrey Women’s Centre at 604-5891295.

I
n 1980, in a small German town in Lower Saxony, three young musicians formed a band called “Trio” that produced over its five year lifespan a number of albums but only one well known song “Da da da, ich lieb dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha aha aha (Da da da I Don’t Love You You Don’t Love Me Aha Aha Aha) usually called “Da Da Da.” Da Da Da links to the name of an early 20th century avant-garde art movement, Dadaism that was anti-art. Dada artists, nihilists reacting to what they believed had produced the “insane spectacle of collective homicide” that was World War I, involving the relentless pursuit of national interests, deliberately flouted traditional aesthetics and sought with their works to offend viewers’ sensibilities. Presumably some in the art world feel encouraged by being offended. The song Da Da Da, written in the then developing genre of music called “Neue Deutsche Fröhlichkeit”, or “New German Cheerfulness” - indeed - displayed this odd ‘Dada’ energy which, in turn, inspired cover versions in many languages and many soundtracks for advertisements, the most famous of which was a Volkswagen television ad in 1997. In the Volkswagen ad, two young men while driving in a Volkswagen Golf listening to Da Da Da on the radio, and gesturing,
head bobbing, and push puppeting a white skeleton— to its simple, elemental beat see an upholstered living room chair beside a garbage can on the roadside, load it into the car’s backseat, then decide they do not want it, unload it and drive off. A female narrator says: “The German engineered Volkswagen Golf. It fits your life … On the road of life there are passengers and there are drivers.” The Volkswagen Golf GTI is credited with launching the “hatch phenomenon” in North America due to its affordability and “fun-to-drive” personality, and, no doubt, this strange and memorable advertisement contributed to its success in the marketplace. And now, to promote the latest ‘Autobahn for All’ sale including the Golf, Volkswagen has created a new ad —Ya Ya Ya—which pays homage to its original Da Da Da ad. ‘Ya Ya’ begins with a bespectacled young female engineer referencing a tablet-sized ‘clip board’ to list features that her male colleague confirms with a “Ya” “Ya” “Ya.” A synthesized version of the original Da Da Da song begins, the screen begins splitting into every possible combination of three’s, the systematic check-off gives way to push puppeting in time to the music—the white skeleton again—and then robotic-like breakdancing with a third male engineer performing. When male engineer#1 says “Nine” to a wave with male engineer#2 the music stops and the ad ends. People who know about these things tell us that this is great advertising. Certainly it is strange and perhaps attention getting. We will see what is does for car sales.

Broken video monitors. A giant poodle-on-a-pole sculpture. A study for a transit gondola up Burnaby Mountain. They’re all under scrutiny during the ongoing transit referendum asking voters to approve a 0.5-per-cent hike in sales tax to pay for transportation improvements. The “no” campaign website lists example after example of spending it says adds up to “extreme waste” at TransLink. “Yes” advocates argue the money involved is insignificant compared to the cost of transit operations, which consume two-thirds of TransLink’s $1.4-billion annual budget. So how does TransLink perform on broad measures of transit service efficiency when compared against other transit systems? Do Metro Vancouver residents get enough for the dollars spent? Comparisons are tricky because transit systems have different characteristics and there are many ways to gauge them. Todd Litman of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute says operating cost per passenger kilometre statistics show TransLink has “relatively good” cost efficiency, ranking about average among big Canadian cities and much better than most U.S. systems. Cost recovery from fares, at around 55 per cent in 2013, was second only to Toronto in this country and much better than its peer U.S. cities, including Seattle and Portland, the latter often seen as a transit mecca for people north of the border. The numbers Litman uses come from the Canadian Urban Transit Association or the American Public Transit Association. “An excellent financial performer” with a low taxpayer subsidy and “good value” is how the International Bus Benchmarking Group described TransLink’s bus division earlier this year. No campaign head Jordan Bateman dismisses all those agencies as industry clubs that do nothing to audit or verify
‘Yes’ and ‘No’ sides are arguing over how well TransLink’s money is spent when compared to other cities. LEADER FILE TransLink-submitted data. The only authority he trusts on TransLink performance is the 2012 report by Shirocca Consulting, commissioned as part of an audit by TransLink’s independent commissioner. “They actually dug deep into TransLink’s own numbers,” Bateman said. “According to the Shirocca report, it’s grossly worse than other Canadian transit agencies.” Well, not exactly. “The organization is well run and manages its costs,” the report said in part. The bus system is “well delivered and good quality” but has “generally higher costs and lower cost efficiency and effectiveness than most of its peers.” That’s about as far as Shirocca went in damning TransLink while offering up a list of potential savings — and that report is three years old and based on data from five years ago. And according to Litman, some of the comparisons the report relied on were unfair; for instance, TransLink’s performance in covering 1,800 square kilometres was stacked against just the Toronto Transit Commission, with a footprint onethird as large, without including other Greater Toronto services in the suburbs. As the Shirocca review was underway in 2012, as well as a second audit by the provincial government, TransLink had already launched a cost-cutting drive. A major plank of that drive was the bus service optimiza-

tion initiative, which shuffled service from underused routes to overcrowded ones where more money could be collected by accommodating more passengers. A follow-up progress report issued by Shirocca eight months later in November 2012 found the moves, spearheaded by then-CEO Ian Jarvis, were working. “There have been significant reductions in operating costs,” it said, citing $33 million in new annual savings already identified and more in the works, with much of the gains coming from tightening up the bus system. Bus service optimization was yielding “significant savings without affecting service to the public,” it said, while flagging costs of the Compass card/ faregates system as an area of concern. New TransLink interim CEO Doug Allen says much has changed in the past three years. “This is an efficient organization,” he stated in a report to the board March 30. “We provide more bus service today with fewer staff than five years ago and our cost per passenger boarding has dropped 30 per cent.” TransLink counts $240 million in savings over the last three years and claims it now delivers each kilometre of service more cheaply than Toronto and Montreal, and the Canadian average. Transportation Minister Todd Stone last week noted TransLink is widely recognized as “one of the best” systems in the world. Still, Litman said it’s unsurprising that TransLink’s

‘Yes’ win predicted ▶ BURNABY MAYOR THINKS CAMPAIGN WILL BE PERSUASIVE ENOUGH AGAINST THE ‘NO’ SIDE IN THE TRANSIT REFERENDUM JEFF NAGEL
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan thinks the broad coalition behind the “yes” side will eke out a narrow win in the transit tax referendum despite internal polls that continue to show the “no” side ahead with most Metro Vancouver voters. Corrigan is not a yes supporter – he voted against the $7.5-billion 10-year plan last June, saying it was too ambitious and doomed to defeat – and voted against going to referendum on the 0.5-per-cent sales tax increase to fund it in December. Speaking Tuesday after a meeting of the Metro Mayors’ Council, Corrigan said he still thinks most voters are against the tax hike but the yes side is “very powerful” and doing a much better job at persuading supporters to mail in their ballots. “The yes side’s got a lot of muscle and they’re exerting it over this period of time,” Corrigan said, citing the 145-group coalition’s long lists of supporters and contacts. “I think that while the polls
are saying no, the yes side has the troops on the ground to be able to get their vote out. I think it’s going to be a narrow yes victory on a very low turnout.” Corrigan isn’t wavering in his opposition, particularly to the decision of most mayors to campaign for a yes win in the referendum, which the province set as a condition for any new transit tax. Even if the referendum passes and the new tax goes ahead, he predicts there will be lasting damage from a fractured region, especially if yes votes from Vancouver and a handful of other cities overwhelm no sentiment in the rest of the region. “The referendum is a bad public policy tool,” Corrigan said. “It’s been divisive across the Lower Mainland and it’s been harmful to TransLink. I think we should have stood our ground on the referendum from the very beginning.” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said the outlook is worse for the yes side in White Rock/South Surrey, where he said new internal polling indicates a 76-per-cent no vote. Only Delta has fewer declared yes voters, he said, while there was more than 50-per-cent support in Vancouver. “It’s concerning and it’s unfortunate,” Baldwin said. “It’s emotion versus logic. When riders are passed up instead of saying
‘We need more transit’ they say ‘I’m mad at transit because they didn’t provide the bus here now so I’m going to vote against it.’” The yes campaign has featured slick video ads, transit system signage and numerous community meetings and other events, including 14 telephone town halls that dialed in voters via robocall (computerized autodialer.) One of the latest techniques are dubbed “lunch and learn” sessions where Yes campaigners go to a major employer like Hootsuite or VanCity Savings to answer questions from employees about the transportation plan. The strategy of yes forces is to get every possible yes vote mailed in to Elections BC before the May 29 deadline and potentially keep on campaigning for transit upgrades if the Congestion Improvement Tax is defeated. Better Transit and Transportation Coalition co-chair Gavin McGarrigle, a Unifor union executive, called it the most diverse coalition ever assembled in B.C. on an issue. “We have no intent of quitting or scaling back our efforts before May 29,” he said. He said the organizations behind the coalition – which include business, labour and environmental groups – are prepared to fight together for transit and transportation upgrades in future elections if necessary.

residents to support frequent service. And near-empty buses rolling around are a prime target for auditors. But it’s a chickenand-egg problem because if the service isn’t offered at a deeper public subsidy, a generation of residents in newly developed areas will grow up driving, more cars will be bought and housing developments won’t be designed with transit in mind. As well, a blinkered focus on minimizing costs runs the risk of rolling back service south of the Fraser River instead of increasing it, and fundamentally changing how those areas develop in the future. “I think there is a danger of going too far,” Litman said of the bus route optimizing that auditors championed in 2012. “If you simply ask where can we cut service that has low ridership, one of the first things you would do is eliminate late night service and service to the suburbs.” Ironically, infrequent
service is one of the prime reasons many residents south of the Fraser have listed for voting no in the referendum. Bateman, meanwhile, is unpersuaded by the latest efficiency statistics or observations that it was the province that mandated the Compass card/ faregates system and funded the empty South Surrey park-andride. “If TransLink was running so efficiently and wonderfully, why did they dump their CEO? I’m not sure how they can have it both ways.” Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades.

QUARTERLY REPORT
Dominion Lending Centres Chief Economist Says US Style Housing Crash Unlikely in Canada Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”
Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 The Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. Core inflation, at 2 percent, is a reflection of the dampening effects of a slowing economy offset by the pass through effects of the lower dollar.
Dr. Sherry Cooper
in the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. The Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the effects of the oil price shock, the natural sequence of stronger non-energy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.” This will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in financial conditions.
Chief Economist for The Bank is hopeful Dominion Lending Centres that global growth will strengthen in coming months to 3-1/2 percent—consistent There remains a good deal of uncertainty with their forecast in January’s Monetary in this sequence: While March Policy Report (MPR)—as a direct result employment in Canada improved of central bank rate cuts and quantitative substantially, business investment easing in Europe. Lower commodity remains disappointing, manufacturing is prices will boost growth in some weak—especially in the auto sector—and countries. The Bank also believes that the improvement in trade has been less strong growth will resume in the United than expected. States after a weak first quarter, which, of Real GDP growth is projected to rebound course, has yet to be confirmed. in the second quarter and subsequently First quarter growth in Canada has been strengthen to average about 2 1/2 per revised downward to 0.0 percent in the cent on a quarterly basis until the middle April MPR (from 1.5 percent growth of 2016. The Bank expects real GDP
growth of 1.9 per cent in 2015, 2.5 per cent in 2016, and 2.0 per cent in 2017. The Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged. I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and inflation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent-below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast. Much hinges on the U.S. economy. The April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.

Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets. Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline. “With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their first-time homebuying years. While many might be priced out of the single-family home market, many will take the plunge into condos.” On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto. Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energycentered markets.

Pharmacy loyalty points, tobacco targeted ▶ COLLEGE OF PHARMACISTS OF B.C. STILL AIMS TO CONTROL RETAILERS JEFF NAGEL
The regulatory body for B.C. pharmacists hasn’t given up on its agenda to
ban pharmacies from handing out loyalty reward points on drug purchases, or to eventually ban cigarette sales. A ban imposed by the College of Pharmacists of B.C. was struck down in B.C. Supreme Court last summer, but an appeal filed by the college will be heard
in December. The college argued loyalty points are a powerful lure for consumers that can alter their medication buying habits and potentially harm their health. It was fought in court by major supermarket chains. The judge in the trial ruled the ban on

all loyalty incentives was “unreasonable” and concerns raised were “illogical.” College spokesman Mykle Ludvigsen wouldn’t comment on the grounds for appeal.

points and the unneeded drugs may be abused or diverted to the illegal drug trade. Tobacco sales by pharmacies are also in the crosshairs of the college. Ludvigsen said there is no specific timeline to impose such a ban but the college’s 2014 strategic plan calls for the board to pursue one. “We’re the only province that currently allows cig-

arettes to be sold in premises that contain a pharmacy,” he said. “It completely goes against the pharmacy as a health centre. To sell things we know kill you at the front of the store and to sell things that help you get better at the back of the store is a bit of a conflict.” Retail chains have warned they would challenge the college’s jurisdiction if it moves to impose a tobacco ban and would also sue the college and its directors for lost sales that would result if their stores can’t sell cigarettes. “The law does not take a positive view of activities which represent unwarranted restraint of trade,” says a letter to the college sent last fall by executives from London Drugs, Overwaitea Food Group, Safeway, Rexall, Sobey’s and Thrifty Foods.

Four student-athletes from three Surrey high schools have committed to joining the Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Eagles women’s soccer team for next season. Danielle Kelly and Harveen Sanghera of the Enver Creek Cougars, Taylor Wettig of the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers and Shayla Wilson of the Sullivan Heights Stars will be on the pitch in late August when the Eagles begin preparations for the 2015 PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Conference) season. “I am thrilled to welcome these four new recruits to the KPU women’s soccer family. They have already met the team and are already immersed into the Eagles culture,” said head coach Julie King. “Each player will bring a unique quality to the soccer field but they are
also young women of great character which is equally important.” Kelly is a five-footeight striker who also plays with Surrey Guildford United’s U18 Metro team. She is an honour role student who will study English at KPU.
▶ “I am thrilled to welcome these four new recruits.. JULIE KING
“She brings with her an excellent work ethic and some clear soccer savvy that not many players have,” said King. “She is a good student and has the character that will compliment the current players and the culture we are trying to build at KPU.” Expected to study Criminology, Sanghera is a five-foot-four centre midfielder who has won two Most Valuable Player awards at Enver Creek who will bring good vision and soccer
intelligence” to the Eagles squad. Wettig is a five-foot-10 defender who can also play midfield. She has also played with Surrey Guildford United, and has been an honour roll student for the last four years at Lord Tweedsmuir. She will be seeking a Bachelor of Business Management at KPU. “Taylor has a good understanding of soccer and reads the game really well. She is able to play multiple positions and will provide some depth to the squad,” said King. Also a member of Surrey Guildford United is Wilson, a five-footfive striker who will also study Criminology. “Shayla has great speed and will bring a new dimension to the team, not only through her versatility and skills as a player, but other qualities as well,” said King. The KPU Eagles pre-season exhibition schedule will kick off in August, with the PACWEST season opener set for Wednesday, Sept. 9.

▼ 911 CALLTAKERS RECOGNIZED FOR HARD WORK, PROFESSIONALISM AND ENDLESS PATIENCE As part of “Emergency Services Dispatchers and 911 Awareness Week,” the Surrey RCMP have recognized the dedication of the detachment’s telecommunications operators, who play a significant role in public and police officer safety for the City of Surrey. The Surrey RCMP’s Operational Communications Centre (OCC) manages all police non-emergency and 911 calls and dispatch police officers for service when required. The OCC is a 24 hour, seven days a week operation that received 386,000 calls and created more than 186,000 police files in 2014. The OCC is a dynamic environment with screens flashing overhead that reflect the number of calls received and any calls in the queue. As they pride themselves on providing the best service possible to the citizens of Surrey they have very tight targets. Their targets are achieved regularly with average answer times of seven seconds for 911 calls and 17 seconds for a non-emergency call. OCC call takers must listen, ask a series of questions, accurately enter data, manage multiple screens and programs, all while trying to deduct what is happening from the caller. It can be noisy and intense and often requires a high level of patience and focus. “When you’re taking your 15th false 911 call of the shift, it can be frustrating because they are time consuming and often just a pocket dial. But the rewarding aspects of the job outweigh the negatives, especially being the lifeline to someone who needs our help. No two shifts are ever alike,” said a telecommunications operator who has worked in the Surrey RCMP OCC for four years. An average of 25-30 per cent of the 911 calls received each day are false. These include pocket dials, misdials, children playing with phones, or pranks. False 911’s tie up OCC and police resources for hours as they must call back or attend in person to confirm the caller’s safety.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of CHAMP, which has provided generations of child amputees with financial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and peer support. Hunsicker attended the three-day seminar with her mother where they learned about the latest developments in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child.

A focus on freedom ▶ FILIPINO COMMUNITY PAYS TRIBUTE TO CULTURE THROUGH ART SHOW BLACK PRESS
Contemporary scenes of human tenderness, Philippine street life and bustling market days are a some of the subjects depicted in the paintings on display at the Surrey Art Gallery beginning next weekend. The show features the work of a dozen artists belonging to the Dimasalang III International Artist Group, whose art focuses on the concept of kalayaan (freedom). This exhibition also celebrates Philippine Independence Day on June 12 with paintings that celebrate Philippine heritage and culture. The Dimasalang group was formed in 1968 in Manila. The word Dimasalang originates from Philippine national hero and freedom fighter Dr. Jose Rizal, a revolutionary writer who used Dimasalang as his pseudonym during the turn of the 19th century when the Philippines was under Spanish rule. It was Rizal’s writings and martyrdom that sparked a fervent call for freedom. The artists’ group name was adopted after the street in Manila where the founding artist Sofronio Ylanan Mendoza, better known by his initials SYM, lived at the time. SYM helped mentor many artists and Dimasalang II consisted mainly of his students in the Philippines. In 1981, SYM moved to Canada with his family where he formed a new set of Canadian Dima-
salang artists and continues to teach aspiring and talented artists in Vancouver. Dimasalang III International Artist Group is a registered not-for-profit society and offers arts-related educational and professional development opportunities to its members and the general public. The Surrey exhibition runs from May 2 to July 4. The Surrey Art Gallery is located at 13750 88 Ave. Call 604-501-5566 or check www.surrey.ca/art gallery

Do you know someone who’s trapped by clutter and needs help taking steps toward cleaning up their life? A hoarding clean-up, professional organizing and mental health support team is offering someone in the Lower Mainland a chance to take advantage of their combined complimentary services. With the potential to become an annual event, the Clean Sweep Home Transformation is a two-day, full-scale content removal, de-cluttering, organizing and extreme cleaning effort that will collectively employ volunteers of Surrey-based 1st Hoarding Clean Up, Good Riddance Professional Organizing Solutions and several other community partners. “Hoarding is a hidden issue.
Often families of these sufferers are not even aware until something traumatic takes place that thrusts the home’s condition to the forefront, becoming a stressful and compounding ordeal,” says Stephanie Jones, project manager with 1st Hoarding Clean Up and co-coordinator of the first-annual contest. Entrants must submit a brief story and a minimum of eight photographs. The winner will get a compassionate and professional extreme home makeover that will include disposal and donation sorting, as well as cleaning and possible structural remediation. “As a community, we can come together to organize the resources necessary to assist families that may not be able to help themselves, and would otherwise continue to live in distress,” says Brian Woronuik, President of 1st Hoarding Clean Up. All entries must be submitted to by May 15 at www.1st HoardingCleanUp.com/services/contest

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Visit the Volvo CX70 gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca
Nothing staid or stodgy about this family station wagon Canadians have fallen in love with small SUVs but there is still a hardcore group of family station wagon fans. The list of wagons really is rather small. There is one new entry into this club that should be Zack Spencer considered by anyone who wants the versatility of a wagon but yearns for the precise handling that a sedan offers, the Volvo V60. Looks Volvo, as a brand, has been struggling in North America due to the lack of fresh, new products. In a few months, the outdated, 12 year-old CX90 SUV will be replaced with an all-new model. To help keep the product lineup somewhat fresh, Volvo has introduced this V60, the wagon version of the S60 sedan. Yes, a limited market but for those that like a wagon, this is a very nice option. The lines are sleek and stylish and the R Design model, seen here, has larger 18-inch or optional 19-inch wheels and a suspension that sits a tad lower. The back sports meaty
looking exhaust tips and the front has a two-tone spoiler to help round out the dynamic look. This setup will cost a whopping $51,700. To be fair the base model without the R design and smaller engine and front wheel drive, starts at $40,200. Inside Buyers can look everywhere and have a hard time finding seats that are more comfortable than Volvo Seats, especially these sportier R Design seats. The dash is well designed with a centre console that has easy-tounderstand graphics and layout. The dash and doors are covered in soft touch materials. This, along with polished metal trim makes the interior look and feel rich. The graphics in the instrument cluster are projected onto a screen with a modern feel that brings this car up to date. The screen in the centre of the dash is a different story, looking rather small by today’s standards. The back seat has plenty of room, even for adults, but because of the curvy exterior shape, the back cargo area isn’t as roomy as the rather square VW Golf Sportwagon. Drive The V60 is available with a number of engine choices and the base engine might just be the best overall

value. It comes with a 2.0L direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder, putting out 240hp i 240hp. This bas base T5 D Drive-E unit is only available with front wheel drive but comes with an 8-speed automatic; all the other V60s come with a 6-speed unit. The next step up is the T5 all wheel drive with a turbocharged 2.5L 5-cylinder with just slightly more power at 250hp. The top model is the T6 R Design with a 300hp turbocharged 6-cylinder. What this car has is standard AWD and a refined ride that produces smiles at every corner. The way Volvo has been able to marry comfort and handling performance and grip is superb. Verdict To counteract the wagon stigma, Volvo has even added a crossover version of this wagon called the V60 Cross Country. If you like a sporty and great handling car with supremely comfy seats and enough power for any task, this V60 T6 is fantastic. The Lowdown Power: 2.0L with 240hp, 2.5L with 250hp and 3.0L with 300hp Fill-up: 9.8L/6.6L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $40,200-$51,700 Write to zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

MINI is bringing a completely new meaning to driving glasses. At the Shanghai Auto show, the BMW sub-brand has offered first sight of its revolutionary eyewear. “MINI Augmented Vision gives an insight into how intelligent connectivity between a MINI car and eyewear into which relevant content is projected might work in the future,” explained Dr. Jörg Preißinger, project-manager MINI Augmented Vision, BMW Group research and technology.
Using see-through technology, the eyewear projects information in the driver’s direct field of view without concealing other traffic.

’’
“Working with several Qualcomm companies, we have created an interlinked system and augmented reality eyewear with a characteristic MINI design that revolutionise the experience both in and outside the vehicle. This prototype with its customised, interactive functions succeeds in fusing augmented reality with the brand’s trademark sense of lifestyle.” Using see-through technology, the eyewear projects information in the driver’s direct field of view without concealing other traffic. “We are proud to have helped develop a breakthrough augmented reality interface between eyewear and the automobile,” said Jay Wright, Vice President, Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc. “MINI Augmented Vision offers a compelling example of what’s possible today, and what we can expect in the future.” The technology will enable drivers to enter destination details outside of the car then transfer the information to the onboard navigation. The navigation will then display from the current location to the vehicle or from the vehicle to the final destination. Direction instructions in the shape of coloured arrows will appear projected on the road ahead at the turns.
