Cache Creek dump captures 85 per cent of landfill gas Jeff Nagel Black Press
The Cache Creek landfill has begun generating electricity from the methane emitted by the millions of tonnes of Metro Vancouver garbage dumped there over the past 26 years. Three reciprocating engines installed by operator Wastech Services now turn captured landfill gas into 4.8 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 2,500 homes.

His personality isn’t the only thing that’s electric about Etienne Dreyer, who at age 19 recently finished his undergraduate education before many even start. With a 4.10 GPA, Dreyer is the youngest-known person to graduate from the University of the Fraser Valley’s Bachelor of Science program. He first caught the eye of future instructors when his homemade Tesla coil wowed judges at the 2011 Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair (FVRSF), hosted by UFV. Made partially from old microwave parts, Dreyer’s coil produced hundreds of thousands of volts and streams of electrical discharges when plugged into a standard 120 V wall outlet. He quickly became the de facto keeper of UFV’s Tesla machine after starting university when only 16. Still, the Abbotsford local insists he was never the smartest student in class. “I’m glad I’m not a genius,” he says. “I think I’m a slower learner than my classmates because I want to know it in my gut instead of my head. The better I understand something rather than just knowing the answer to it, the more I'm satisfied with what I’m studying.” Dreyer’s hunger for knowledge was fed by his SUBMITTED PHOTO mother, a nurse who dutifully cruised thrift shops Etienne Dreyer, aged 19, recently graduated from the Bachelor of Science program at the and hardware stores for electronics her son could disUniversity of the Fraser Valley. sect and examine. “She wanted us to explore real things, not fantasy. ternational Youth Science Forum last year, which attracted more than There’s a lot that’s entertaining about the real world around us.” 400 young scientists from around the globe.

Canada is in dire need of its own free trade agreement It is an embarrassing state of affairs when many small businesses report that North-South trade with the U.S. is easier than East-West trade within Canada. But this is nothing new. It was such a big concern when the North American Free Trade Agreement was coming into force more than two decades ago that the provinces put in place the Agreement on Internal Trade. Unfortunately, that agreement has been a colossal failure. Fast forward to today and the prospects of a trade deal with Europe is shining a spotlight on our domestic dysfunction. Do we want it to be easier for Canadian businesses to trade with other countries than other provinces? Well, of course not. But the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Canada’s provincial and federal governments can deliver a better outcome than last time around. There are some reasons for optimism. On the premiers’ direction, Canada’s trade ministers met for the first time in four years earlier this week to work toward a March 2016 deadline to have a new agreement in place. As part of a business coalition, Laura Jones presented to the group. The thing that struck her most was the non-partisan environment in the room. Politicians of all stripes seemed serious about working together for the good of the country. They were all saying the right things. But saying the right things is the easy part. Doing the right thing is harder. How important is it that we get it right this time? Very. An overwhelming majority — nine out of 10 — of Canada’s small businesses want the premiers to make free trade within Canada a priority, according to a recent survey done by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. In the 125 pages of survey comments there was example after example of domestic trade red tape. In the words of one insurance broker: “The regulations are so varied by province that one almost needs to hire trade lawyers to get things done. Trying to do business in other provinces is severely hampered by this reality.” Many commented on differences in transportation rules (for example, different licensing structures, wide-load signs that need to be changed at provincial borders.) Others commented on how frustrating it was to deal with different Workers’ Compensation Boards. A local art school owner summed it up well: “Canada should have its own free trade act. It’s sad that it seems easier to do business with the U.S. than Canada.” Submitted
Legal medical marijuana access extends to derivatives Jeff Nagel Black Press
Medical marijuana patients have a right to possess and use cannabis in the form of cookies and products other than dried bud, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday. The unanimous decision is a major victory for cannabis crusaders who argued they should not be forced only to smoke or vaporize the drug when edible or topical products are safer and provide benefits such as delayed delivery. "Inhaling marihuana can present health risks and is less effective for some conditions than administration of cannabis derivatives," the country's high court ruled. It found the federal drug law exemption allowing medical pot patients access only to dried marijuana violated their constitutional right to life, liberty and security of the person. Approved patients who illegally baked cookies, brewed pot tea or turned it into oil had faced the threat of criminal prosecution, but not any longer. "This denial is not trivial," the court ruled. "It subjects the person to the risk of cancer and bronchial infections associated with smoking dry marihuana, and precludes the pos-

sibility of choosing a more effective treatment." The ruling upholds the decision by B.C. courts that dismissed drug trafficking charges against Owen Smith, a Victoria man caught baking pot cookies for a local compassion club. "It's a great decision from the point of view of all medically approved patients," said Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy, one of the lawyers who defended Smith before the Supreme Court. He said the government's dried-only restriction was unreasonable. "It forced people to choose between a legal but inadequate treatment and an illegal but more effective one." Conroy is optimistic the Supreme Court's ruling will also guide another pending case in which medical marijuana patients have argued before a Federal Court judge that they should be allowed to continue growing their own pot at home, instead of buying only from new commercial producers authorized by Ottawa. In that case as well, Conroy and co-counsel Kirk Tousaw argued similar constitutional rights are in play – that medical marijuana users are deprived reasonable access if they can't afford to buy from commercial producers and that
Standard
they then risk jail if they grow it themselves or buy on the black market. That trial took place this spring and the judge has reserved decision. Conroy predicts Thursday's ruling will also allow commercial producers to start offering cannabis edibles and topicals, rather than just dried pot. The Supreme Court did not give the federal government time to pass new regulations and instead issued an immediate order that the old restriction was no longer in force. It's not yet clear how Ottawa will respond, but it could regulate pot derivatives through a different mechanism. Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose told reporters marijuana is not an approved medicine and criticized the ruling for contributing to the normalization of marijuana use. "I'm outraged by the message that judges are sending that they think that they can approve a drug into a medicine without clear medical scientific evidence and without safety reviews," Ambrose said. She cited 36 cases of people being hospitalized after becoming ill from ingesting marijuana edibles at Vancouver's recent 4/20 pot celebration.

Federal NDP Candidate, Chilliwack-Hope
While presenting to a group of seniors at a National Association of Federal Retirees dinner last week, I was grilled about why all federal political parties in this election are focusing on the "middle class?" Who do we mean by the “middle class”? Why are we – the federal NDP - organizing a campaign around growing, serving, and protecting the middle class? Why does our new TV ad feature Tom Mulcair in a cafe extolling the middle class and his place in it? New Democrats focus on middle class Canadians for a reason. What they mean by the "middle class" are the 60% of Canadians who enjoy a standard of living between the bottom 20% and top 20% of household income brackets. This doesn’t mean that the other 40% of Canadians are excluded. The bottom 20% are targeted to be served by this emphasis on the middle class. How? The point is that all Canadians should be able to enjoy the quality of life afforded by a middle class lifestyle. For this reason, we refer to growing the middle class. The top 20% need to contribute more, even if that means they drop into that 60% middle class bubble. Inequality and the Working Poor Therefore, the reason the NDP focus on "the middle class" is to emphasize, in agreement with many leading economists from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), that Canada's biggest economic problem is inequality, the widening gap between the rich and poor, and the increasing percentage of those referred to as the working poor. Working poverty in Canada is higher than in most other 34 OECD states, with a large number of households living below the poverty line despite the fact that one or all adults in the home are gainfully employed. This form of poverty is on the rise but is NOT associated with unemployment, so it requires special policies. In other words, people are working but they aren't earning enough money to push themselves up above the poverty or subsistence level. Inequality has widened in Canada since the 1980s under Conservative and Liberal government policies. Here in British Columbia, we now have one of the worst income gaps in Canada with only 10% of the population controlling 54% of the wealth. In the 1980s, we had the smallest wealth gap in Canada, so we have suffered disproportionately to other provinces. This provides the urgency that we are voicing in this election. Other troubling trends identified by a 2014 OECD report include an increase in unemployment or insecure and part-time jobs; a sharp increase in the number of Canadians who can't afford food – a rise of over 2% since 2007 to over 11%; and a steady drop in government investment in social services.
What policies do work? The principle is simple: Governments need to help to increase the income of the bottom 20% of the population by raising the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) to above poverty levels and increasing the minimum wage to at least $15/hour. At the same time, they need to implement fairer taxation to reduce the drain of the economic benefits of growth to the top 20%. As the middle class grows by raising those below to above the poverty line, an NDP government would protect working families through initiatives like small business tax reductions and rebates and affordable housing and childcare to make it easier and more affordable for adults in a household to work. These benefits need to include seniors, especially the GIS and affordable housing initiatives, as outlined in the NDP’s National Strategy on Aging in Canada. As the OECD economists argue, these are not just expenditures but economic stimulants that will grow the Canadian economy and ensure that all citizens benefit from growth. These target policies are the core of the New Democrat platform in this upcoming 2015 federal election. We are committed to ensure that Canada remains a country of equality and social mobility. This is what we mean when we say that we will grow and support middle class Canadians.

Why trickle-down economics don’t work? The trickle-down economics of successive Liberal and Conservative governments in Canada over the last two decades have failed. They have generated and reinforced rising inequality in Canada. Their ongoing policy proposals promise to perpetuate and deepen these troubling trends. OECD economists have joined the critique, suggesting that governments in Canada have stunted growth by focusing tax and other benefits on corporations and the top 20%. Instead, these economists state that growth is most significant when policies focus instead on Martin Brothers benefiting the bottom Funeral Chapels BC Ltd. 60% of income earners and households. These middle and lower income earners stimulate the economy more directly than the rich by spending more on basic needs rather than luxury goods or investments, www.mbfunerals.com many of which are outside of Canada. 1270 Ryder Street, Hope B.C.

Support of the arts in Canada from arts councils and arts organizations in the community and across the nation has certainly augmented the desire for Canadian artists to submit to one of Canada’s few National Art Prizes. The numbers are in, and organizers of the inaugural Salt Spring National Art Prize (SSNAP) couldn’t be happier. In total, 1,367 pieces of art have been submitted by 809 artists. The submission process began on January 15th and ended on May 31st, 2015, with artists entering their work for an opportunity to win awards totalling $25,000. The top prize boasted $10,000 in cash and a $5,000 artist residency on a gem of a Canadian island, also known Salt Spring Island were par for the course. The exceptional response had several key staff members working overtime into the wee hours on deadline day. Close to 200 artists waited till the last minute to complete their submissions. Founding director Ronald T. Crawford says the response has been tremendous, “With almost every province and territory represented, we doubled our submission projections. Given such a high number of submissions, it shows us more deeply the importance of supporting artists across the nation.” Crawford, who works full time as a stonemason, sculptor and painter, says the artists have done themselves proud. “It has been a wonderfully exhilarating experience to see the quality, diversity, and originality of the Canadian artists who have submitted. Now begins the difficult job of our capable jury.” Artists’ submissions will be anonymous to the jury. In total, 50 works will be selected by mid-July and the artists informed at that time. It is important to the organizers of SSNAP to help further support finalists in their careers. Continued on 12

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.
Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more revenue for their product. And Government will collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend on programs such as health care, education and other services that benefit all British Columbians. Plus, we can invest in new training programs and create new jobs for our youth.
