A25-year-old man’s sentence in adramatic Burnaby kidnapping case will be “academic,” according to his lawyer, since his clienthas already been sentenced to life in prison forthe shooting deaths of twoemerging Toronto hip-hop artists Abdulkadir Handule and twoco-accused– Abdullah Abdullahi and ObinnaNjoku –were originally charged with kidnapping in rela tion to events at aMetrotown apartmentbuilding in 2019. Tactical officers breached thedoorofan 11th-floor apartment at 4960 Sanders St. at about 10:20 p.m. on July 4, 2019, to rescue Arnold Hue, aman they believed had been kidnappedatan underground parkadeat theMetropolis mall two days earlier, accordingto facts presented inVancouverSupreme Court. When policebrokein, thethree accusedfled through thebalconydoor Twosnipers watching the rescue from the rooftop of an apartment building next door saw Abdullahi fall from the apartment’sbalcony into arhododendronbush be lowand spotted Handule scaling down the outside of thebuilding Njoku managed to jumpfromthe 11thfloor balconytoone on the 10th floor. All threewere eventually arrested at the scene and charged withkidnap ping. After alengthytrial, however, B.C. Supreme Court Justice JanetWinteringham ruled prosecu tors had not proven beyond areasonable doubt that Hue hadnot gone with theaccused will ingly, possibly as part of a planned drug deal She acquittedNjoku andfound Abdullahi and Handule guilty of the lessercharge of unlawful confinement

‘GENUINELYMOTIVATED’ The courtwas presented with multiple reference let ters from addictionstreatment staff,a bail supervisor,a personal friend and a prospectiveemployerwho had worked withVipond. B.C. provincialcourt Judge James Bahen accepted the jointsubmis sion, sayingVipond’s current circumstances “amply” supported the decision to allow him to serve his sentence in the com munity. “He’sgenuinelymotivated in his rehabilitation,” Bahen said. “Toplacehim in jail nowwould be a counterproductivestep.It would likely imperilhis re covery.” Bahen handedVipond the two-year conditional sentence, one year of pro bation, a10-year firearms ban and aforfeiture order for the rifle.

Ouremployment levels aremuchlower now, and entryjobs abound everywhere The PNEisa traditional source of manyofthose entry-level jobs.More than 1,200people under the age of 21 work there andover thecourse of a17-dayfair can earn afair amountof money Overall, closeto10,000 peopleget work from the fair annually. It generates about $200million in eco nomic activity annually andbenefits allkindsof communityorganizations and businesses But it’s notjustthe economic impact the PNE bringsthatisimportant. There is also thepsychological impact it presents The resumption of the PNE– justlikesporting eventssuch asVancouver Canucks and B.C. Lions games,aswell as weddings and othergatherings–sendsanimportant signal thatweare getting society back to normal again. The concept of “fun” wasput on holdfor much of thepandemic. Now “fun”isroaring back with avengeance, and that’s greatnewsfor peopleand for theeconomy If this column sounds like I’m afan of the PNE, it is because Iam. As ateenager, Iworked 10 summerfairs on the PNEmidway,and the moneyand experience Ireceived provedinvaluable.I worked alonghundreds of otheryoung people, many earningenoughtocover the post-secondarytuition or to simply coverliving expenses The work wasexhausting –12-hour days for 17 days –but also lucrative and rewarding (plusI got to ride the fabledwooden roller coasterliterally hun dreds of times). We arenot out of the pandemic yetand no one knows when we willbe. Thecoming fall andwin ter is the respiratoryillness season, and who knows what looms with thator anynew COVID-19variants. Formany, the PNE symbolizesthe end of summer holidays.It’s been thatsymbol for a staggering 112 yearsand one hopes it willcontinue to do so for along time. Schools will soonreopen and the Canucks willsoon take to the ice in front of largecrowds We are getting back to normal, folks, and so is the PNE.

In essence, they must become asmall business on topofpractise their profession! It impliesthat society values educationabove people’s health, in fact their very life!

“Whenyou’re knocking aroundatmyage, in this kind of bighouse,it’snice to have somebody who’s aroundonce in awhile,” theretired professor said. Wortis,85, finds solace in spendingtimewitha youngerperson. Getting help navigating technolog ical and physical obstacles is just icingonthe cake, according to him He believes thatthere is lotoflearning andgrowth to such alivingarrangement. “It’swonderful to have the younger folks around.”
“You know, when my cellphone isn’t working,or Idon’tunderstand something, Siobhanunderstands it much betterthan Ido, so Iget theproblem solved.”
Asummer ago,SiobhanEnnishad uninvited guests in her house: rats chewingwalls and making themselvesathome. Perhaps,ifitwas the chef-rat, RemyfromRatatouille,one wouldn’t have complained? But En nis didn’t luck out there. Shehad to live with the rodentsfor the better partoflast summer, with fewer optionsout there for housing.
Ennis enteredanapplicationfor Canada Home share’spilotprogram in MetroVancouver, for an intergenerationalhousing option.
In the search forsafe, affordable housing,she bumped into an innova tiveprogram advertised through heruniversity.

The tale of Ennisand Wortis is not the first story, and certainly not the last.Theintergener ational housing modelis gaining popularity across Canada Housing shortagesand rental woes have ledpeople to seek alternate options
Innovative arrangement: Siobhan Ennis shares a home with Michael Wortis under an intergenerational housing pilot program.
Within ashortspanof time,she waspaired with MichaelWortis, aretired professor from SFU,who warmly welcomed her into his house. There, she forged an unlikely friendship think Rickand Morty,minusthe interdimensional adventures.
The house became home “I reallyappreciatethe wayinwhich Michaelwelcomed me into his family and his home, especially during Christmas,” En nis said.“It felt like such astorybook kind of Hallmark video kindofexperience, where, youknow, everything wasjustwarm andfuzzy.”
TwoofCanada’s three most expensive places to rentare in BritishColumbia —led byVancouver, and closelyfollowedinthe thirdplace by Burnaby These factors have made it hard for renters, especiallystudents, who generally areona smaller budget. As asolution forstudents accessing affordable housing, Canada Home share, anon-profit organi zation,has partnered with several universitiesacross the nation to devise new solutions.

In addition to students getting subsidized and safe housing options, this housingmodel alsoaddressesanother concern in ourcommunities: dete rioratingmental health in olderadults as aresult of socialisolationdue to the pandemic Having ahelping hand in the house can be abenefit forthe older adults, both physically andmentally “Havinga student around to provide companionshipisbeneficial to both,”said JackieTanner, clinical leadatCan ada Homeshare. “For students, they receivesafe andaffordablehousing close to campus and get thebenefitsofthatintergenerational relationship as well.” The program wascre ated back in 2019 inTo ronto. Since its inception, it has expanded to many cities, includingthose in MetroVancouver.Many regions, including Metro Vancouver, are still in their pilot stages and finding a place in thecommunity “Getting the word out has beenachallenge,” Tanneradmitted. “It can be alittlebit intimidating and anxietyprovoking to shareyourhome, but we’rethereevery step of the way.” Agroupofsocial work ersfrom thelocal communitiesaid theapplicants throughout the way, navigatingthis new and inno vativeway of life.

Ennis, astudent from SimonFraser University (SFU), much like other students acrossthe nation, felt the weight of skyrocketing rent andthe housing shortage.
ForWortis, this wasthe tale of finding afriend whobecomes family Wortis, having losthis wife to Alzheimer’s back in 2015,was in thesearch of anew companion in his house after hisgrandkids movedout. Enter Ennis From cooking together, sharing aloveofmeals, gardening and shovelling to going cross-country kayaking,the pairovercame the generation gap to find family in friends.
While the professor laughsatthe technologi cal mishaps in hislife, Ennis marvels at theexpanse of knowledge inWortis’s brainwhile addressing the generational gap. “I thinkthe biggest generationgap perhaps is the waythatweseekinformation in thatI pull up Google immediately,” she said. “And Michael has an encyclopedia in his brain thathecan just remember things.” The friendship was forgedinanunlikely manner, butboth Ennis and Wortis hope their friendshipwillcontinue beyond their home-sharing days

Happy Labour Day! LabourDay is atime for reflection formanyof us in Canada. It is an im portant moment to see howwellweare doing to build asociety where everyone matters.Thatis the goal thatlabour activists in ourcountryfought to achieve. With the pandemic and its accompanying profiteering and inflation, it is clear that many Canadi ans are struggling to make endsmeet. Prices have goneup, affordable housing is in crisis, and Canadians’average income has declined over the last few years. Food bank lineups arelonger than ever —I knowthisasmywife and Igrowfood forthe local foodbanksand we see the lineups growing firsthand. The reality is quite different amongthe ul tra-rich in Canada. Canada’s billionaires have seentheir wealthgrow by astaggering $80bil lionduring the pandemic. Massive outlaysof“liquidity support”granted to Canada’sbig banksto maintain profits by both thecurrent Liberal governmentand theprevi ousConservativegov ernmentamounted to an unbelievable $866 billion. Both the current govern ment andthe previous one have allowed an un precedented $25billion or more of taxpayers’dollarstogotooverseas tax havens each year from theultra-rich andCanada’smost profitable corporations.Thathas meant $250 billion in taxes going to taxhavens in the last decade alone. While theLiberal government continues to allowinequalitytogrowin Canada, Jagmeet Singh and the New Democrats use theirpower to force the government to move forward towards anational dentalcare plan, to build more affordable housing, and to finallyput in place aUniversal Pharmacare.

Anyone whoknows me knows Iloveagood party, and Labour Dayisnoexception.This year especially,I look forwardtothe first big public gathering since 2019tocelebrate the important role that work ershaveplayedin fighting for—and winning— the workplace rights we all enjoy today. Labour Day is an important recognitionofworkers’ contributions and achievements, away of recognizinghow farwe’vecome. It always willbe.

But this year feels different Yes, we’vecome along waysince there wasno suchthing as theweekend, when people worked 12 hour days and seven-day weeks just to make abasic living,when child labourand unsafe working conditionswere rampant, and when immigrants and the very poorwere denied suchbasic workplace rights as accesstofresh air, sanitaryfacilities, and breaks. But as much as we treasurethe rights we’ve won, we always live in the present with an eyetothe future.And rightnow,the future looks grimfor far too manyBritishColumbians The present is astruggle, with manyBritish Co lumbians facing serious affordability challenges This province is grappling withinflationrates not seeningenerations.Con sumer spending on necessitieslike fueland food,as well as discretionaryitems, keeps rising as central banks increasethe cost of borrowing. Economicuncertainty is the resultofextreme cy clesofthe pandemic and recovery,leading to challenging times for many communities.Indigenous, Black and racialized people,women, people with disabilities, gender minor ities, and people belong ing to the 2SLGBTQIA community have dispro portionately experienced job and income loss and suffered negativeimpacts to their mentalhealth and wellbeing. In times of rising infla tion, strengthening public services is the best thing we can do to support our communities.Public sectorinvestment supports the services thatcitizens require in challenging times, and increasedpublic spending helps support economic growth when the privatesector falters Moreover, publicsector investmenthas multiplier effects on theprivate sector, as jobsare created in the industries that supply thenecessary materials and services for theinitial investment. Everyyear at this time, community leaderscome forward withmessages of supportfor working people, forthe labourmovement, and our proud historyofprogress and social change. While it’s heartwarming to see so much supportfrom so many corners of society,whatwe’dreally like to see is acall foraction to make life moreaffordable forworkers.Because it’stimes like these thatdemonstrate whygov ernments need to do more and whyworkersneed more unions:ifunions aren’tout there fighting for cost-of-living adjustments and better working conditions, no one will. So,thisyear on Labour Day, let’sall commit to making life more affordablefor the workers who keep this province running.

BurnabyNow • THURSDAY,September 1, 2022 13 These are importantinitiatives to make sureno Canadiansare being left behind. Faced withthese clear indications of growinginequalityand unfairnessin Canada, the labour move mentservesasawellneeded source of balance in our economyand our society. Unionized workplaces are safer, provide more benefits for their em ployees, and payhigher wages to their workers. The average unionized workerearns $5.14 an hour moreinCanadathan those who work in nonunion firms.For Canadian women, the paygap is even more significant, as women union membersearnanimpressive $6.88 moreper hour than women workerswho do not belong to aunion. Thatincrease means a boost in the local economy where unionizedjobsare present. Unionizedworkersspend more in their community.The corporationsthatmake huge profits will, moreoftenthan not, take those profitsout of thecommunity Thatiswhy thework of labouractivists is so im portant. Companiesthat are making unbelievable profits arenot improving wages or benefitsata timewhen Canadianfam iliesare struggling.Labour activists are providing support for thoseworkers— particularly young workers—thatare trying to unionize. It is important to note the work of SteelworkerstosupportStarbucks workerswho want to unionize,Teamsters whoare providingsupport to Amazon workers, and United Food and CommercialWorkers who are supportingand organizing Walmartworkers. All these companies shouldbedoing alot morefor their workers.Thankstothe work of labouractivists, these companies arenow being pushed to provide better working conditions and better wages. Young workersare facing daunting challenges with lowsalaries, often un safe workingconditions, and jobswithnobenefits Thank youtothe many labouractivists whoare making adifference for younger workers, for older workers,and forall those in between Peter JulianisMPfor NewWestminster -Burnaby.

“Wagepressures are building —theyacceler ated to 5.2 per cent year over year in June, up notablyfrom3.9 percent a month earlier,”the cham ber said. “This will onlyadd to broadercostpressuresfor Canadian businesses,and the numberswill likely keep rising in the context of even higherinflation. This will make things par ticularly tricky forsmall andmedium-sizedbusi nesses who are already facing significant hiring challenges.” Canadians are already starting to see labour strife, as unions demand wage increases commensurate with inflation. In mid-August, for ex ample, the BC Govern ment Employees Union (BCGEU) began jobaction, afterrejecting an of fer of an 11 per cent pay increaseoverthreeyears, plusa$2,500 bonusper worker.The BCGEU said the PublicService Agency failed to meet union de mands forcost of living provisions to address inflation.
