B.C. political landscape uncertain,says Paton

It’s going to be days before heknows if his party willform government, orifhe will be back inOpposition,orifanother electionis just aroundthecorner.

That’s what Ian Paton told the Optimist Monday, following his re-electionin Delta South, in last Saturday’s (Oct 19) super-tight provincial election.

“Peopleare telling mehow it would be a good thing if I was minister of agriculture and peopleare also telling me, it’s too badI didn’t run asanindependent But, if Idid, andthe(B.C.) Conservatives form government, I would have been sitting inOpposition again. Now, I don’t know if I will get the chance Maybe, I just might, depending onthe recounts and final number,” he said.

According to Elections BC, with all the advanceandfinal voteday ballot boxes counted, Paton,who wasfirst elected in2017,finished with14,234 votes, or55.19 per cent ofthe vote.

His only opponent, the NDP’s Jason McCormick had 11,558 votes, equaling 44.81 per cent ofthe

After Paton was re-elected forthe Liberalsin 2020,the party went on to change its name to BC United.

He was expecting to run for BC United, but ended up joining the BC Conser vativesafter BC United bowed outof the election, suspending the partyin late August.

Noting it wasa surpris e theNDP got as many votes as it didin the riding, Paton saidheisn’t so sure the BC Gre en Party would suppor t theNDP provincially,considering there has be en a serious falling out betw een the tw o parties

That meansanotherelectioncould soon be onthehorizon, something that nobody isallthat keenfor, headded.

Asfar as the raceinthe province, which has theNDP narrowly ahead, Paton said at leastthree former BC United candidates, who ran asindependents, tookcritical votes from Conser vative candidates

A campaign manager for McCormick told the Optimist that noneoftheNDP candidates have permission to speak to themedia untiltheelection resultsare fi li d.

Final countdownunderway inB.C.’s nail-biting2024 election

PHIL MELNYCHUK

pmeln yc huk @d elta-optimis t. co m

It’s thefinalcountdown,on Oct. 26 Untilthen,it’s a waiting game with resultsfrom at least two ridings hanging inthe balanceand possibly determining whethertheNDPorthe Conser vative Party of B.C. governthe province.

According to Elections BC, even thoughtheinitialcount fromOct. 19 electionnight isfinished, candidates cannot be declared officially elected untilthefinalcount has beencompleted,a process which runsfrom Oct. 26 to 28.

Ballotscounted onelection day,during theinitialcount, includeadvance ballots, ballots cast on voting day and mail-in ballots received before the closure ofadvance voting.

Most ofthe ballots in thefinalcount willinclude mail-in ballotsthat arrived afterthe close ofadvance voting andup until 8 p.m. onelectionnight, as well as ballotsfrom outside a voter’s district made at a voting station with manual counting.

Elections BC says that a roughestimate isthat 49,000 mail-in ballots will be considered inthe finalcount.

The finalcount process also involves furtherquality-assurance checks from the initial count on voting day.

Voting results will be updated this week to correctany transcription errors.

For ridingswhere the top two contenders had less than a 100-vote differential,a recount automatically will take place. That will happenin Juande Fuca-Malahat and Surrey City Centre ridings and willtake placeduring the final count.

Following thecompletionofthe initial count of ballotson Oct. 19 to 20,a total of 2,037,897 ballots had been cast, themost everin a B.C. election,and producinga voter turnout rate of 57 percent.

Most votes, 99.72 percent, were counted by earlyOct. 20. Some results were delayed because officialsdouble check that results are reported accurately before confirming a number, said an Oct. 20news release from Elections BC

Withthefederalinquir y into foreign interferenceongoing inOttawa, Elections BC saidit’s participating inan Election Integrity Working Group composed ofprovincialandfederal partners to address any threats to the electoral process.

“While we haven’t seen specific instances of foreign interferencein a B.C. provincialelection,the risk is real andis a concern for us,” said Melanie Hull, with Elections BC.

The Election Integrity Working Group shares information at anon-classified level so that the responsible agency can address any emerging threats to the electoral process, sheadded.

While non-citizens can becomeelectionofficials, all must be legally entitled to work in B.C.

“Electionofficials take an oath to

perform theirdutiesinanimpartial and non-partisan way and must not actin a way that could cause theirimpartiality to be called into question,” Hull said.

Delta LiberalMP Qualtrough notseeking re-election

SANDOR GYARMATI

yarm ati@delta-optimis

t. co m

Delta will have a new Memberof Parliament afterthe next federalelectionis called.

In a statement on socialmedia Thursday (Oct 17), Carla Qualtrough announced that she recently advised Prime Minister JustinTrudeau that she would not be running inthe next election.

“Deltais a wonderfulcommunity Deltans are caring and resilient. Thank you for putting yourtrust inme and my team. You invited usinto yourlives and shared your triumphs and challenges. We have done great things together,” she said.

The Liberal MP’s statement goes on to express gratitude to Trudeau for putting histrust inher, as wellasthanking her family.

She was first elected forthe Liberals in 2015,when South Delta and North Delta were combined into one federal riding and won the subsequentelec-

tions in2019 and 2021.

She isthe current Minister of Sport and Physical Activity,previously serving as Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Minister of Accessibility, Minister of Public Services and Procurement, and as Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities

Prior to entering politics, themother of four wasa human rights lawyer and Paralympic swimmer

Qualtrough noted she had “mixed emotions” in making herdecision but is “excited to see what comes next.”

Several otherfederal cabinet ministersalso announced theywould not be seeking re-election, which will resultin the need fora cabinet shuffle.

Agroupof Liberal MPs reportedly were to ask theprime minister at this week’s caucusmeeting to stepaside before the next election, but there is no indication Qualtrough is among them

In an interview withthe Optimist this summer, she said, “Theprime minister has my full support.”

Everyone is an expert Community Comment

If you’ve spent any time scrolling through socialmedia, you mighthave noticeda surprising numberof self-proclaimed traffic-engineerexperts among us

The common refrain is heavily car-centric: “I want to get my vehiclefrom A to B asfast as possible, and I want plentyof parking when Iarrive.”

Having recently returned fromtravelin Western Europe,I had theopportunity to do a lotof walking, and I have someobser vations that we might do well to considerif they were proposed by theactual expertsin roadengineering andcommunity planning.

In Europe,the pedestrian experienceis markedly different. One key design feature isthat crosswalks are often offsetfromintersections, allowing pedestrians to avoidenteringa crosswalkwhile potentially intheblind spotof turning vehicles.

Crosswalk signalsare also designed to facilitate crossing inonedirection of traffic at a time, creating refuge islandsinthe centre median, before crossing the other direction.

These features,which align with Delta’s Vision Zeroroad safety strategy, enhance pedestrian safety by simplifying the crossing process for pedestriansand drivers.

The differencesextend

Les Leyne: MarkB.C. downas ‘undecided’

beyond roadengineering.

In many Europeancities, mixed-use zoning isthe standard,integrating residential areas with ever yday shopsand services within easy walking distance.

While we are beginning to see some success in blending zoning innewer projects, introducing mixed zoning into established areas can often be met with apprehension.

We don’t even have to travel to Europe to experiencethe benefitsofmixeduse zoning; we can see it inthemixed-density retail andcommercial areasof Oak Bay or James Bay,in Victoria, andin several neighbourhoods inthe Metro Vancouver area.

Ironically, by moving away fromtransportation planning asanexercise in maximizing vehicle throughput and,instead, emphasizing planning for pedestrians, we can reduce roadcongestionand decrease delays fordrivers —a win-win scenario.

It’s time to rethinkany assumptionsthat mixing shopsand services with residentialareas or adding housinginto existing towns leads to increased trafficproblems.

Whendonethoughtfully,this approach could foster more liveablecommunities, reducethe numberof vehiclesonthe roads, andenhancethe overallquality oflifefor our communities

“T histime around , the NDP are shocke d andde pres sed at how poorly theyfa re d. ”

The2024election wasa major failure for B.C. and it ’s got nothing to do with partisan gainsorloss es. It wasa flop by the central measure ofar riving at a definitive conclusion. The main goal was to make a de cisionand get on with it. Thisonedidn’tdecideanything, whichcreatesinstabilityandfragility.

A 1.03 percent differenceafter almost two million voted, basically means B.C. couldn’t make upitsmind.

The NDP ’s one-seat edge overthe B.C. Conser vatives oneshor t of a majority, subject to re counts makesa four-year term unlikely.

The uncertainty onelectionnight was enormously exciting But when that carr iesthrough to the next government, it ’s going to get oldfast.

Barring a long-shot change inthe count, the NDPw ill work out an ar rangement withthe Greens to get someshaky controlofthelegislature andtr y to carr y on.

Greenleader Sonia Furstenaulost the Victoria-Beacon Hill riding. She’s stilltheleaderand saidonelection nightshe wants to,“mentor, guide andleadthe partyanyway I can.”

She indicated Monday sheplans to stay asleader But herloss ble eds away someofher authority tobargain withtheNDPon terms and conditions. She’s onthe outside looking in. Whatevershemight negotiate, it ’s the tw o newGreen MLAswho have to live withit.

The NDP-Green minority agre ement in2017aros e whenthe y were both optimisticandexcited about their respective perfor mancesin theelection. It survived thre e years, partly be caus e of a warm relationshipthat developed betw een thenpremier John Horganandthen-

Green leaderAndrew Weaver Thistimearound,theNDPare shockedanddepressed at how poorly theyfared.After winningabig majorityin2020,theprospectof returning to aminorityisabigcomedown.

Eby and Furstenau get along cordially, which might buy him some time But theNDPdouble-crosse d theGreens last time with a snap electionthat was outsidethe terms oftheconfidence agre ement. So a long-ter m ar rangement isunlikely.

The NDP will have to get friendly withnewGreen MLAs Rob Botterell (Saanich Northandthe Islands)and Jeremy Valeriote (West Van-Sea to Sky)in a hurr y.Any understanding about suppor t could be month-bymonth, which doesn’t make for a se cure mandate.

The two parties have marked differencesonthe carbontax,involuntary care foraddicted peopleindesperate straits,the LNGindustryandtaxation. Als o, Greens standforimmediate impositionof a newproportional representation voting system The NDP refus ed to includethat inthe 2017confidence agre ement, but put it to a referendumin2018,where it was defeated.A major change inthe voting system was als o defeate d in 2005,and againin2009.

Whilethos e differencesare dealt with, B.C. Conser vative leader John Rustad willhold to his promis e on electionnight: “We are going to make itasdifficultas possiblefor NDP to doany more destruction

We willlook from day one, to bring themdown at the very first oppor tunity and get back to the polls.”

Withhis care er hanging on ever y vote, Premier David Eby likely will ke eplegislation to a minimum. The legislature likely willconveneaslittle as possible

Election2024cost $69million. It produce da lotofdithering that will likely ne ed another voteto resolve.

City provides Winskill treeplanupdate

SANDOR GYARMATI

sg yarm ati@delta-optimis t. co m

Deltacouncilthis week discussed a preliminar y concept forthenew Winskill Aquaticand Fitness Centre, showing how the resultsofthe first phase ofthe public engagement program have beenincorporated into theplan.

In addition to introducing thepreliminar y concept, the staff report also providesupdates on the project cost estimate, a planfor reforestation, relocationoptionsfor disc golf, next stepsfor publicengagement and a grant application.

Among theupdates, a contractor will begin mobilizing on Oct. 28, to begin removal ofan estimated 166trees inthe western part of Winskill Park to facilitatesite preparationandconstructionofthenewU15 balldiamondandthe relocated U13 balldiamond in2025.

As far as thepreliminary reforestationplan, the report explains, “These areas include the perimeterarea outsidethenewand relocated baseballdiamonds, around a potentialcommunity plaza, alongfuture walkways, withinthenew parking lot, and southofthe existing parking lot The perimeter reforestation area would include a new walkway. Approximately 275-300 trees aroundthe new and relocated baseballdiamonds would be retained.”

The report adds, “Theexact numberof replacement trees will be determined following thedetailed reforestation analysis, but preliminar y estimates would see the city planting between 375 and400newtrees. More detailed reforestation plans will be presented in early 2025.”

Council last month decided to proceed with a revised reconfigura-

tionoftheplayingfields at Winskill Park to also includethefourth baseballdiamond to be constructed inconjunction withtheotherimprovements.

Council voted in favourofproceeding with preparing the site forthe newdiamondintimefor the2025 season, rather thanthe optionofdeferring it.

Another report this summernoted that Delta retained anindependent arborist to complete surveys and reports for the Winskill Park trees back in2020. Two reports were completed, withan updated field reviewin June2024.

The updated surveys showed that approximately 46 per cent ofthe trees are in poor condition.Ofthe 490 trees surveyed, only 16are in good condition,while 247are inmoderate conditionand227are in poor condition,according to the report

DPD to crack down onHalloween fireworks

SANDOR GYARMATI

sg yarm ati@delta-optimi st .c om

The Delta Police Department wants to ensure thecommunity continues to enjoy safecelebrationsthis Halloween.

A report by A/Chief Guy Leeson to the Delta Police Board notesthat in 2022, Halloweenin South Delta saw significant disturbances, including property damage and injuries caused by fireworks.

In 2023, policeimplementeda strategy aimed at preventinga repeat, and a positive turnaround was experienced.

“Ourfocus for Halloweenthis yearis againon overallcommunity safety forenjoyable celebrations, with a par-

ticularemphasisonthe risks posed by firework usage. Bylawsareone of the several tools our team willuse in a broader and multifaceted strategy to mitigatethese risks andescalated enforcementactionsunder the Explosives Act and Criminal Code may also be used asnecessary,” the report notes.

The strategy focuses onproactive public safety messaging, early engagement withlocal youth, strategicdeployment at key locations, enhanced enforcement andvisibility andcollaboration withtheCity of Delta, Delta Fire and Emergency Services, and Delta SchoolDistrict.

“Whilecoverage during peak periods like Halloweenisincreased,

callsfor service will be prioritized according to standard operating procedures, with a focus on preserving life, property, andcommunity safety…I muststress theimportance of our community,especially the younger community members, following fireworks bylaws to help ensurea safe(Halloween),” the report notes.

A regional approach is essentialinfully addressing thebroaderissue of fireworks accessibility,the report notes, adding the recent fireworks bylaw amendmentsin Deltafor protectionforlivestock is a stepinthe right direction.

City council last month endorsed toughernew city penaltiesonusing fireworks without permission. Although the

city banned theuse of fireworks, except with a fireworks permitissued by thefire department, 18 years ago, thecommunity continues to experience illegal fireworks used by residents.

The bylaw updates will not solve allfireworks problems, but inthe absenceof a broaderprovincialorfederalframework, they are theonly tools available, states a city staff report.

A City of Delta motiononfireworks was endorsed at last month’s Unionof BC Municipalitiesconvention, requesting the province work withlocal governments to amend the BC Fireworks Act and work withthefederal government to address the online saleoffireworks.

Community God isourhelper

My colleague preached on John14:16 recently,where Jesus says, “AndI willaskthe Father,andhe willgive you another Helper, to be with you forever” (emphasismine).

What doesitmean to be givenahelper?

The New Testament waswritteninthe Koine Greek language,and the word translatedas “Helper”is parakletos, which has several Englishtranslations. This word can be translated as comforter, advocate, counsellor,intercessor, or legalassistant.

Some scholarstransliterate parakletos to “paraclete,” becausethey find itdifficult to just use one English word to represent the many nuances

Minister’s Minute PAUL

associated withthe word. When youconsider theetymology ofthe word, para-means “beside”or “alongside,” andkletosderivesfrom anotherGreek verb, (kaleo),whichmeans“to call.”

In thiscontext, Jesus

What YouNeed to Know

promisesusthe Holy Spirit,who walksalongsideus,whichmeanshe is closeenough to hear usandcome to ouraid when we cry out to him forhelp.

AnotherGreek word used inthebiblefor Helperis (boethos), whichetymologically can be definedas “onewho runs to theaidofthose whocryforhelp.”

Thisimageryofthe Holy Spirit walking alongsideus so that heis righttherewhen we call outforhelpisamazing. Moreover,thethoughtof our God running to our aidwhen we cry out to himis beautiful. Godis ourhelper. Ipray that thisbrings you peace,comfort, and encouragement.
