Free trade in milk, eggs, and even logs Tom Fletcher Black Press

One of the rituals of life in southern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items. Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system. The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world. Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign

imports, and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people. The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. governments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection.The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement. It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are com-

mitted to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on. Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100.

Child protection failure prompts probe Tom Fletcher Black Press

One of the architects of B.C.'s children's ministry has been brought back in to review its procedures after a court case revealed four children were left in the care of their abusive father. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux announced Friday that former deputy minister Bob Plecas will lead the review of the case and recommend changes by October. In his second ruling on the case, released last week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Walker found the ministry was negligent in the decision to allow the father unsupervised access to the children. In a 2009 ruling awarding sole custody to the mother, Walker accepted evidence that the father had physically and sexually abused the older three children. Despite that order, the ministry permitted the father unsupervised access, allowing him to sexually abuse the youngest child. None of the family members is publicly identified. "A key feature of the Director [of Child Welfare] conduct in this case is that she and many of her agents approached the case in front of them with a closed mind, having concluded at a very early stage, be-

fore the children were interviewed, that there was no merit to the sexual abuse allegations and that [the mother] had fabricated them and had coached her children to make their disclosures," Walker wrote in a 341-page judgment. Plecas said he will not be considering individual misconduct of ministry staff involved, who have been reassigned while the review is ongoing. "I think people will speak with me because it's a non-threatening exercise," Plecas said. Cadieux said an independent and unbiased review is needed because of the "many significant and disturbing assertions about staff conduct" in the ruling. The government has not decided whether to appeal. NDP leader John Horgan said the terms of Plecas' review do not allow him to look at the conduct Minister of the minister and senior staff, Cadieux and his report goes to Cadieux. He said Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has the independence and authority to compel testimony of all concerned. "I think they don't want to get to the bot-

Drought means fewer mosquitoes this summer Jeff Nagel Black Press

The hot dry spring and summer has helped swat down most of the Lower Mainland's mosquitoes by denying them their usual prime breeding sites. SFU mosquitoe biologist Carl Lowenberger said the drought has translated into a nice reprieve from the pests in most areas. "As a result of the dry spell, we have fewer pots of standing water, therefore nowhere to lay eggs, which equals reduced populations," he said. Some mosquitoe species lay eggs on land that must get flooded the next spring to hatch – usually from snowmelt or rivers BLACK PRESS/ FILE PHOTO overflowing their banks. Because of the drought, this The impact of spring and summer conditions is felt by mosquitoes in the Lower Mainland; the common pests year's low snowpack and the lack have been denied optimal breeding sites this season. of flooding of lowlands by the Fraser, those species are "doing nothing" this year, Lowenberger said. But the eggs can survive a couple of years, so those mosquitoes could still emerge next year if conditions are wetter. Other types of mosquitoes, such as the Culex species, overwinter as adults and can begin breeding immediately in the spring, provided they find water. "They like dark, dank, dirty conditions," Lowenberger said, adding they often find a haven in storm drains and dtiches in agricultural areas. Despite the drought, he's heard complaints of many mosquitoes in pockets of Delta, Richmond and parts of the Fraser Valley. Lowenberger suspects some Lower Mainland municipalities are no longer treating storm drains and other breeding grounds as aggressively with bacterial insecticides as concern about West Nile virus waned. "West Nile is on the back burner now, nobody's concerned about it, so it seems they might have let that go," he said. "If they're coming from the storm drains, they're probably not being treated."

Opinion Published by Black Press Limited at 540 Wallace St., Hope, BC V0X 1L0

Distracted driving and just plain dumb Distracted driving has the attention of the provincial government once again, with authorities pondering whether to ratchet up fines for texting and yakking motorists. They should also consider a “dysfunctional driving” category. A case in point: I was merging onto a major road in town the other day, and as I’m waiting for a clear spot, the following scene unfolds. Passing by is a small car, transporting a mattress – not tied on top, but inside. The driver had fed the mattress into the rear hatch, and rammed it through the interior of the vehicle until it nearly touched the windshield. He then wedged himself into the substantially reduced driver’s seat space. Picture a relatively large man driving along, forehead pushed down nearly to the steering wheel, as he fought to keep his eyes up on the road, while the mattress weighed down on his head. There are other words besides dysfunctional which could be used to label this genius. Sadly, he’s not alone in his tenacity and limited creativity in overcoming various driving challenges. From my column archives: One winter morning on my way to work, I had another occasion to view a most peculiar, if not mildly disconcerting sight. An oncoming motorist was dealing with a natural phenomenon not uncommon during West Coast winters – namely, condensation on both the outside and inside of the windshield. (There are other such seasonal conditions found out here in Lotusland, known as ice and snow; however, they are increasingly rare, and therefore largely ignorable.) Anyway, as you might imagine, or perhaps know from firsthand experience, windshield condensation severely restricts the driver’s ability to see through the fogged glass. The effect is dramatically compounded when driving into a rising sun, as was this fellow. His windshield had been transformed into a blindingly bright, opaque rectangle. Sort of like when aliens land on your hood. (Some drivers no doubt have reported the latter to the police when asked to explain the circumstances of their behaviour.) There are remedies for the situation, of course. Obviously, one is to use the defrosting feature found in every vehicle, prior to becoming mobile. This does take planning and time management, since it can require several minutes for the engine to warm the air being blown on the glass. The other solution is to wipe away the condensation, using the manufacturer-supplied wipers externally, and a moisture-absorbent cloth or tissue on the inside. This is only a temporary remedy, since the windshield will rapidly de-fog until it warms up, but certainly better than nothing. However, both courses of action were apparently too timeconsuming for this particular motorist. I chose to pull over a lane, just in case he needed the one I was in. I’m not sure how we legislate against dysfunctional – or just plain dumb – driving. Black Press

Prospects for B.C.’s biggest investment

Tom Fletcher

Black Press

Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history. Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one? Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature. “After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.” For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May. Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline

for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry. The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017. NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.” Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship. Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal? Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well. For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects. Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges. Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Oops who is going to pay the bill Dear Editor: There has been a lot of distress in the community caused by power surges preceding a disruption in hydro service. One of Hydro’s classic answers for what caused it is an “Act of God” — tree fell on power line — and I guess there are two approaches to this. The first approach suggests that if God is in control, then send us the address and we will start sending the money for our monthly bills to Him. The second approach suggests the reality that Hydro tells us they send crews around every five years to trim the trees, which means THEY have accepted responsibil-

ity for the trees. We understand that Alberta has a law that forbids a high voltage line to be used above the customer service line, which would appear to make a lot of sense. It makes sense, because when that extreme voltage hits the line with the reduced voltage for our houses it causes a power surge that knocks out our electrical appliances and various electronic equipment. We desperately need a solution to this. It appears the surges with damage are more common in rural areas and that creates a secondary problem. Many people are in a rural setting due to a lower cost of living that is within their budget range, but a regular diet of electronic replacement ends up being very repres-

sive to the poor. As in any fair democracy, the best answer comes from the community. We need a very concentrated energetic response from the community. Remember, Hydro may be a giant, but might doesn’t always make it right, so like David of old let’s gather a few pebbles and explain to them, they are not God and do not have the right to decide who gets paid for electronic replacement and who does not. Would a town meeting be a good start? If you care let it show. Lloyd Forman Boston Bar

Is there talk of Canada disappearing? Dear Editor: Have you heard anything about the talk that Canada is disappearing? The talk I’ve heard is that people in the Maritimes almost went away because of their record breaking snowfall. Is it true or false? As far as Quebec is concerned, they have been trying to separate from Canada for years. True or false? Ontario has been trying to play a lead role in Canadian affairs for years as well. True or false? In Manitoba the Red River has been trying to flood the Manitobans forever — true or false? In Saskatchewan the people have been trying to figure out if there is too much rain or not enough. True or false?

Alberta is part of Canada where you have too much rain or their crops are dying and getting slaughtered by hailstorms or tornadoes. True or not? Now that I’ve covered the country, all the way to B.C., everyone knows that B.C. will burn away sooner, or later by forest fires — no questions asked.

I drove my kids to the corner store a few days ago and as they ran in with their friends I shut the engine off. In less than a minute I could feel the inside of my truck rapidly heating up, but rather than turn on the air conditioning so I could cool down, I decided to see how long I could tolerate the extreme heat. I’d recently seen some social experiment videos in which - per person/double occupancy includes taxes people tested their endurance in a hot car and I was curious to feel it for myself.

Summertime should be full of fun and not funerals Cpl Ronda Rempel Media Relation Officer BC RCMP Traffic Services

Excessive speed and impaired driving were the top reasons why the RCMP’s Sea to Sky Traffic Services, Squamish and Whistler RCMP pulled over vehicles during the week of the Pemberton Music Festival, July 16 to 21st. Hwy 99 from Lions Bay to Pemberton during the festival was identified as a priority for the police to reduce the harm on one of B.C’.s most beautiful and busy roadways. Speed and impaired related offences kept officers and tow trucks extremely busy over the five day stretch. 13 vehicles were impounded for excessive speeding. Over the same period, seven drivers were investigated for impaired driving. This included both alcohol and drug related impairment. Several vehicles were impounded and three drivers were served a 90 day driving prohibition. When appropriate, officers allowed a sober driver to take the wheel instead of impounding the vehicle. All drivers were male and their ages ranged from 18 to 72 years old, with the majority of offenders being in their 20’s. All of the speeding drivers face a driver risk premium on top of their insurance costs and those who chose to drink and drive may be referred to the Responsible Driver Program, which may include the installation of an ignition interlock device on all vehicles they drive. The vehicles travelling at the greatest speeds included a Mazda 3, Nissan 240SX, F350 pick-up truck, Pontiac Sunfire, two Porsches and a Mustang GT. This once again proves that it isn’t only high-

2015

end sports cars that police impound. The Mazda was stopped for travelling 159 km/ hr in an 80 km/hr zone and the Mustang was travelling 192 km/hr in a 90 km/hr zone. “All of these high risk drivers clearly had a total disregard for the safety of everyone on the road and being stopped by police truly was a gift, compared to what the outcomes could have been,” said Cpl. Rempel of BC RCMP Traffic Services. Sadly, two of the top three contributing factors for fatal collisions in B.C. are speed and impaired driving. Without the attention of police, these drivers may have continued their high-risk driving behaviour causing a collision or in many cases taking the lives of themselves, their passengers or the occupants of a victim vehicle. One person every three days will die on B.C. roads during the summer months due to impaired driving. “This statistic is truly startling and that is why police across the province focus their enforcement efforts on ending this high risk driving behaviour through counterattacks,” said Cpl. Rempel. Cpl. Rempel reminds the public that “police are very engaged in monitoring the driving behaviours of all motorists along busy B.C. highways; especially, when we know there will be an increase in road users for special events or seasonal activities”. “Summer time is meant to be full of fun, not funerals,” saidCpl. Rempel. That is why police across the province are focusing on educating British Columbians about road safety and a key part of this is stepping up enforcement.

Operation dry water, cautions boaters for the August 1 weekend

Submitted by

Canadian Safe Boating Council

Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and to reduce alcohol related deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is launching its third annual initiative called “Operation Dry Water.” The goal of the organization is to discourage this dangerous practice. With the summer boating season in high gear, the August 1 long weekend is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat. These effects of alcohol can be greatly increased out on the water. “The CSBC, along with its partners and sponsors would like the opportunity through this event and our other initiatives to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” said Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council, John Gullick. Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, while examining the methods currently in place to discourage it. Federal statutes dictate, regardless of whether or not your craft is motorized, that you can be charged

with impaired operation of a vessel under the criminal code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold.This means you can be charged with the offence, even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges. Some provinces have enacted legislation that stipulates drinking and boating infractions can affect your automobile driving privileges. In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel”. As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, faces an on-the-spot automobile drivers license suspension. If the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceeds .08 upon conviction, an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied. Operation Dry Water is aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities on the water, with the intention of fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating. The end goal? To achieve safer and more enjoyable recreational boating. This initiative is made possible through the support of Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety. For a 30-second PSA and additional information on boating safety please visit www.csbc.ca.

‘Rear Window’ tonight at the Hope Cinema The legendary film takes a look at the quintessential Peeping Tom Jon Polishak Hope Film Club Member

If you're not familiar with "Rear Window," you're in for a treat. It's a clever and tight little thriller. Set in New York — Jimmy Stewart is a photojournalist recovering from an accident he sustained on his last assignment. Bound to home-rest in a wheelchair and accustomed to viewing others through a camera lens, he begins to watch his neighbours through a pair of binoculars. After believing he has seen something truly grisly and murderous, he brings girlfriend Grace Kelly into the scheme to have the suspect found out. This great movie is not only considered one of Hitchcock's greatest achievements, but one of the best films of all time. In addition, it stars one of Hollywood's most favourite leading men, James Stewart, and one of its most stunning female icons Grace Kelly.

Prospera Credit Union

Amazingly, the hot B.C. weather did little to dissuade thousands of cyclists from taking part in one or both of the granfondo events supported by local credit union, Prospera, this month. The two events were the Prospera Granfondo Axel Merckx (PGAMO) in Penticton on July 12 and the Prospera Valley GranFondo (PVGF) in the Fraser Valley on July 19. “We’re accustomed to high temperatures in Penticton, but we weren’t expecting it to be just as hot in the Fraser Valley,” said Prospera’s Interim President and CEO, Waheed Hirji, who rode in both events. “Congratulations to all of the riders who managed to make it over the finish line. We’re thankful to the hundreds of amazing volunteers for doing an excellent job of keeping riders hydrated and safe as they progressed along their route.” Like many granfondo riders, Hirji is a recreational cyclist who says riding in an event like this gives him a significant goal to work toward throughout the year as well as an opportunity to meet other cycling enthusiasts. “The fondos also serve as an opportunity to introduce young riders to the sport of cycling with a focus on safety and fitness,” said Hirji. “In addition to hosting activities for kids and families during the fondo weekend, both events raise money and awareness for youth cycling programs in the province.” In the Okanagan, the PGAMO supports the Axel Merckx Youth Development Foundation and in the Fraser Valley, the PVGF gives to three organizations: Cycling BC’s “iRide” program, Devo and Bridge the Gap.

Later, Git Hayetsk dancers shared some cultural songs and dances, that sang to life a drum that Amanda Todd had made at the request of Amanda’s mother, Carol Todd. Chief Angie Bailey, Aitchelitz First Nation, stated, "Carol Todd's words were very inspiring, as she advised us to eat healthy, be healthy and be kind. “Her comments

about Amanda's suicide and her own healing journey brought many in attendance to tears, demonstrating the loving hearts of all involved in Bikes Against Bullies. Carol reinforced the importance of my family and culture — my husband William and I, will always be grateful that we are free to live and enjoy our culture. “I look forward to the next gathering and commit to a zero-tolerance for all forms of

bullying." This event was made possible by major sponsors Trev Deeley Motorcycles, Safeway, Aboriginal Tourism BC, and Sq’ewá:lxw First Nation, in addition to many auction donations by local businesses. Tnessa Tyerman, founder of the Bikes Against Bullies Rally comments: "It takes a lot of work from countless volunteers to run this event, and this year was even more of a challenge

with the poor weather. Thank you to everyone who was there to help with a smile on your face. You all contributed to making this another successful year."

Bikers show their support in the fight against bullies, during their annual Bikes Against Bullies charity event. Chief Maureen Chapman Sq’ewá:lxw First Nation

Sq’ewá:lxw First Nation was honoured to collaborate with Bikes Against Bullies for a charity event this past weekend in Ruby Creek (located between Agassiz and Hope on the Lougheed Highway.) Bikes Against Bullies is an annual fundraising rally in support of AntiBullying awareness and in memory of 15-yearold Amanda Todd, who committed suicide in 2012 after facing tormenting bullying at school and online. Sq’ewá:lxw Chief, Maureen Chapman explains: “Bullying comes in many forms and, as progressive and useful as technology can be, Amanda Todd's suicide, due to cyber-bullying, demonstrates the dangers. Our First Nations, Aboriginal and Inuit youth and families are
