BC is first jurisdiction in North America to offer COVID-19 booster shot to general population B.C. will be the first jurisdiction in North America to offer a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine to the general population. On Tuesday, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said that as of January a booster dose of either Pfizer or Moderna vaccine would be offered to British Columbians aged 12 and over who have already received their second dose. “Our vaccines are highly effective. However, we are starting to see a gradual decline

in protection over time,” Henry said. “As a result, we are taking the proactive step of expanding boosters to everyone in our province.” Until now, B.C. had followed other Canadian provinces and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in offering the third dose only to those in long-term care facilities, seniors and those in high-risk settings or who are immune-compromised.

OPINION By Gwyn Morgan Contributor Troy Media

Canada’s health care system one of the worst in the world

The coronavirus hit Canada in March 2020. By the time that first wave had subsided in the summer, hundreds of thousands of scheduled surgeries had been postponed. But before that huge backlog could be reduced, a second and then a third wave of the virus struck, increasing

the backlog by thousands more. Adding to the clinical risk of these surgical delays is the mental health impact of living with aggressive afflictions such as cancer. Just as hospital wards became available to regular surgeries last spring, a fourth wave driven by the delta variant overwhelmed ICUs

in Quebec and Ontario before moving west to plunge Saskatchewan and Alberta hospitals into their current crises. The pandemic will eventually subside. While COVID deaths can be tallied, the death toll due to all those delayed surgeries is virtually impossible to determine, the path of each patient’s affliction being different. But given the hundreds of thousands who experienced both physical deterioration and mental stress due to treatment delays, that toll seems almost certain to be much higher than COVID deaths. COVID deaths were clearly a heavy blow, but so were the physical costs, heightened stress and, in some cases, accelerated deaths of those with other serious conditions who were denied access to health care.” The real tragedy for families who lost loved ones due to COVID-triggered treatment delays is that those deaths occurred because our health care system was woefully less prepared than in other developed countries. Canada is the only country that went into the pandemic with zero unused hospital capacity and long waitlists. A 2020 Fraser Institute report comparing the performance of 28 countries with universal health care found that, despite having the second-highest spending per capita on health care, Canada ranked dead last in timely care, with the longest waitlists. Our other health care resources have also been in steady decline. Canada ranked second to last in hospital beds per capita, which helps explain why so many surgical patients were displaced by COVID patients. Out of 28 countries, we ranked 26th for the number of doctors per capita and were also near the bottom in diagnostic equipment such as MRIs and CT scanners. Canadians are prone to thumbing their noses at the American health care system, but our neighbour’s much-disparaged health care system was vastly better prepared for the COVID crisis. Compared with Canada’s virtually zero spare capacity, hospital bed occupancy in the U.S. was just 64 per cent at the beginning of the pandemic.

Saturday, October 30, 2021 Conservatives to respect COVID-19 vaccine mandate, but challenge Board of Internal Economy ruling Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says his caucus has agreed to “respect and abide” by a new rule requiring members of Parliament to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to take their seats in the House of Commons. However, he says Conservatives will challenge the policy when Parliament resumes next month, raising what is known in parliamentary parlance as a question of privilege around the “improper conduct and precedent” set by the board of internal economy, the multiparty committee that governs the Commons. The board ushered in the vaccine mandate last week, which applies to all MPs, their staff, journalists and anyone else without a medical exemption who wants access to the Commons precinct. The Tory leader emerged with the plan Wednesday after a roughly five-hour meeting with his caucus to discuss the requirement and

what it means for members who are unvaccinated, as well as those who believe in the principle that their immunization status should be private. “All of our members in the House of Commons will be vaccinated,” O’Toole said. “We will respect the rules both before our question of privilege and after.” What that means is Conservatives will ask the Speaker to rule on whether the nine-member board of internal economy has the authority to disallow unvaccinated MPs from entering the House. Depending on how the Speaker rules, that could lead to the matter being debated and voted on by the entire House of Commons, an outcome that would likely lead to little change, given that the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Québécois all support parliamentarians having to be fully vaccinated. O’Toole said Conservatives believe all MPs, not only board’s nine members, should decide on conduct in the House.

Happy Halloween to all our students!

BC CDC data lays out risks of COVID-19 for the unvaccinated B.C. Centre for Disease Control data shows that unvaccinated individuals are much more likely to become hospitalized and die as a result of COVID-19.The ageadjusted data, which covers approximately the last four weeks, shows that unvaccinated individuals are nine times more likely to become a case (Sept.

21 to Oct. 18), 43 times more likely to become hospitalized and 36 times more likely to die (Sept. 18 to Oct. 15).From Sept. 16 to Oct. 21, B.C.’s vaccination rate among eligible people increased from 86.3 per cent to 89.8 per cent for first doses and from 78.8 per cent to 84.4 per cent for second doses. The B.C. CDC said that new hospital admissions are rising slowly.

Workers who lose jobs over COVID-19 vaccine mandates will not be eligible for lockdown benefit Employees who resign or are put on unpaid leave because they do not adhere to a workplace or industry vaccination mandate will not be eligible for the recently announced lockdown benefit.The federal benefit is designed for individuals who cannot work because of governmentimposed COVID-19 lockdown measures. “Canada is still fighting the fourth wave of this pandemic and it is particularly virulent

in some parts of the country,” the federal government website stated. “Individuals whose loss of income or employment is due to their refusal to adhere to a vaccine mandate would not be able to access the benefit.”The lockdown benefit will be available at a rate of $300 per week and is available until May 7, 2022. The benefit replaces the Canada Recovery Benefit, which paid out $1,000 every two weeks

New cases slowly declining in BC as pandemic ‘stabilizes,’ modelling group finds

Wednesday, the B.C. COVID-19 Modelling Group said case rates are declining at a rate of about two per cent each day. It said the mask mandate and regional public health restrictions, like those introduced in northern parts of the province, helped stabilize cases. “What we’re seeing across all health authorities is a really good signal the curve is bending down,” said Sally Otto, a co-author of the report and evolutionary biology professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The modelling group, which includes experts from UBC, Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria, expects cases in the province to decline as the recently vaccinated build immunity over the next three weeks. The forecast includes the stricken Northern Health Authority region, which has seen its hospitals become overloaded in recent weeks. More than 4,000 health-care workers remain unvaccinated, says province’s health minister Researchers also found the surge in cases among children under 12 has “largely reversed” since September. “We’re still seeing infections in kids at a higher rate than the rest of the population, but [the rates] are almost equivalent now,” Otto said in an interview Wednesday. “It’s very reassuring ... a really good sign.” The

modelling warned daily case counts, while stable, are still trending high: the province has averaged 628 new cases every day in October. Vaccination rates have also slowed after spiking with the news and enforcement of B.C.’s vaccine card in September. The group said B.C. could be at risk for another uptick in cases if the public stops wearing masks, or if another new variant emerges. Experts also said seasonal factors, like people spending more time inside as the weather worsens, could also create a risk. More vaccinations would reduce that threat, they said. The group found communities with 95 per cent vaccination are four times less likely to have a case than those areas with only 75 per cent vaccination. The province announced Tuesday every British Columbian will have access to a third dose of vaccine in the coming months. People who are immunocompromised, those in long-term care and assisted living and rural and remote First Nations communities will be the priority for the third dose program, but all British Columbians should have access by next May. A plan to start vaccinating children between five and 11 is also expected to begin, pending Health Canada approval.

Anita Anand replaces Harjit Sajjan as Canada’s Defence Minister

been, and directly consulting with military members, Anand told reporters. “I am thorough, I am determined, I am dogged and I am results-oriented,” Anand said, just hours after being appointed defence minister as part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new post-election cabinet. She becomes the second woman — and first woman of colour — to hold the position. “I will be dedicating all of my energy toward this task and this position,” she said. Anand will have to do what experts say her embattled predecessor, Harjit Sajjan, failed to do: provide robust civilian oversight of Canada’s armed forces, which has repeatedly proven it is unable to solve on its own a crisis that has been described as an existential threat. A law professor and the MP from Oakville, Anand previously served as public services and procurement minister, where she was responsible for overseeing Canada’s purchases of COVID-19 vaccines and personal protective equipment. “One of the things that people will be learning about Anita Anand in the coming months is that she is a world-class expert in governance,” Trudeau told reporters Tuesday. Anand said her top priority will be ensuring that military members feel “safe and protected” and have access to supports. Sajjan — whose record at defence Trudeau continued to defend on Tuesday

— becomes minister of international development and minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada. Anand will have to become more involved in senior military personnel decisions, as well as ensuring that recommendations from external reviews on sexual misconduct are actually implemented, said Stephen Saideman, Paterson chair in international affairs at Carleton University. “It’s not just about a sexual misconduct crisis, it’s an abuse-ofpower crisis, of which sexual misconduct is one consequence,” said Saideman, who researches civilian oversight of the military in democracies. “And so what the new minister has to do is make it clear that the minister’s office will be paying attention to personnel decisions.” Anand arrives in her new position as a number of senior military leaders are facing sexual misconduct probes or charges. Former chief of the defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance is facing an obstruction of justice charge stemming from an investigation into alleged inappropriate behaviour. His successor, Adm. Art McDonald, remains on leave after military police declined to lay charges against him in a sexual misconduct probe.

Coast guard says 109 containers, not 40, fell off cargo ship near Victoria The number of containers that fell into the ocean from a cargo ship off Victoria is up to 109 from the original estimate of 40, the coast guard said Wednesday. Deputy federal incident commander Mariah McCooey said three of those containers have washed up on a beach in Cape Scott on the northern tip of Vancouver Island. The number of lost containers could change and “there’s a good chance that a lot of them have already sunk,” McCooey told a news briefing. The updated number comes after the owner of the MV Zim Kingston provided information showing 2,000 containers were on board with 1,000 on deck when two caught fire and others

fell overboard as the ship approached Vancouver last week. Crews attacked flareups inside individual containers overnight, which didn’t spread, and they continued to look for hot spots on Wednesday, coast guard official Paul Barrett said. A flyover was planned Wednesday starting from where the containers were lost and following the path where they’ve been spotted and are projected to drift, he said. The Greek-owned ship remains anchored in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The owner, Danaos Shipping Co., has said it is co-operating with Canadian officials and a salvage contractor to develop a plan to locate and retrieve the lost containers.

Saturday, October 30, 2021 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he plans on still being in charge of the Liberals for the next election He’s been through three elections (and three election victories) but Justin Trudeau isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Speaking at a press conference during the swearingin of his new cabinet, the prime minister bluntly expressed his intention to still be in charge of the Liberal Party for the next election — whenever it may be. “Do you intend on leading the Liberal party into the next

election?” the reporter asked. Trudeau’s answer was short and sweet. “Yes,” he said, before his cabinet behind him erupted into a round of applause and the PM flashed a smile at the journalist. Canada’s next election was supposed to be in 2023, but Trudeau’s snap election in 2021 means we could have to wait until 2025 for the next time Trudeau gets to lead his party for the voting!

Poll shows Liberals have slightly more support than Tories The Liberals and Conservatives are neck and neck as Parliament gets set to resume next month following September’s general election. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have the support of 34 per cent of decided and leaning voters, while Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives have 33 per cent support, according to the latest poll from Mainstreet Research. The poll of 1,711 Canadians was conducted from Oct. 23 to 24, and has a margin of error of +/- 2.4 per cent with a confidence level of 95 per cent. Jagmeet Singh’s NDP are in third with 15 per cent support. The Bloc Québécois are in fourth with six per cent, while the leaderless Green Party comes in with three per cent support. Nine per cent of voters didn’t like any of the choices and opted for “another party.” The Liberals’ support is highest among older voters and drops among younger age groups. Just over 45 per cent of voters aged 65 and up say they’d vote for the Liberals if an election were held today, compared to just under 28 per cent who’d vote for the Conservatives. Eleven per cent of those voters would cast a ballot for the NDP, nearly seven per cent would vote for

the Bloc, and just over three per cent would vote Green. Nearly five per cent would vote for another party. The Grits and Tories are in a dead heat among voters aged 50 to 64. Just over 37 per cent of voters in that age group would opt for the Liberals, while just under 36 per cent would vote Tory. Just over nine per cent would vote NDP, just under seven per cent would vote Bloc, and just over three per cent would vote Green. Support for “another party” is much higher in the 50 to 64 group, with just over eight per cent of voters saying they don’t like any of the main parties. In the 35 to 49 cohort, the Tories have the lead. Just over 37 per cent of voters aged 35 to 49 have the Conservatives as their first choice, while 31 per cent favour the Liberals. NDP support ticks up slightly, with just over 12 per cent favouring Jagmeet Singh’s party. The Bloc and Green support drops, to just over five per cent and just under two per cent support, respectively. Support for “another party” surges among these voters. Just under 13 per cent of 35 to 49 year olds favour an outsider.

Former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien faces backlash for comments on residential schools In an interview with the French program Tout le monde en parle, Chrétien said he was not made aware of the horrors of residential schools when he was minister. When asked if he takes any responsibility for the residential school system in Canada, in a CTV News interview with Evan Solomon that aired on Sunday, Chrétien said “they were there since a long time.” “We had to manage the problem at that time,” he said. “We were not informed of any abuse at that time.” On Monday, NDP MP Charlie Angus

responded to Chrétien’s comments, calling it “outrageous” that the former prime minister is trying to “white wash” his role, citing a letter from a teacher, written to Chrétien in 1968, telling him about the crimes being committed at St. Anne’s Indian Residential School. “Imagine if he had read that letter and thought, I should do something,” Angus said. “People reached out to him and they begged him to do the right thing, and he ignored them.” Other Canadians took to social media to respond to Chrétien claims.

3 Million jobs lost to Covid-19 Pandemic Canada’s unemployment rate fell to 6.9% in September 2021 and the labour market has recovered the three million jobs lost to the pandemic. September 2021 was a good month for Canada’s labour market. Statistics Canada reports the lowest unemployment rate drop since the onset of the health crisis. With the

additional 157,000 new, the unemployment rate fell to 6.9% from 7.1% in the preceding month. The estimated three million jobs lost to the COVID-19 have been recovered. While employment is back to February 2020 levels, the hours worked are still 1.5% below their pre-pandemic levels. Nevertheless, economists say the robust numbers are welcome news.

Parents gifting Vancouver homebuyers $340,000 on average for down payment Homebuyers in Vancouver are increasingly dependent on their parents for the financial capacity to cover their down payment. According to a new report by CIBC Capital Markets, over the first nine months of 2021, first-time homebuyers in Vancouver received an average of $180,000. This figure increases even more for parents supporting their children buying larger homes, with the average for move-uppers at $340,000.Over the last six years, the average gifting size

increased substantially, growing from about $150,000 in 2015 to $270,000 in 2021 for firsttime homebuyers, and growing from about $270,000 in 2015 to just under $450,000 in 2021 for move-uppers. During the same period, with home prices continuing to escalate, the proportion of first-time homebuyers receiving a gift from their parents nearly doubled from about 12% to 23% of all first-time homebuyers. Conversely, the proportion dropped slightly for move-uppers receiving help from their parents,

LOCAL / NATIONAL Victoria man asked police officers for their help breaking into an ATM & this happened

A man in Victoria actually asked officers to help break into an ATM on October 26, police say. Unsurprisingly, a police report of the incident said that the officers arrested the man. The report said that the police spotted him trying to break into the ATM on his own at 3 a.m. when they approached him. “Officers approached the man, noted he had already damaged the machine, and observed his continued efforts to gain access to the ATM for approximately two minutes,” said the report.

After noticing there was someone standing behind him, the man asked those behind him to help him break into the ATM without even turning around, according to the report. The officers told him they were police and he then “attempted to flee.” The report said that “after a brief struggle,” the man was placed in handcuffs and taken to Victoria Police Department cells. He was later released as officers continue their investigation.

‘Solemn day’ for BC as 4,090 of health-care workers defy vaccination deadline B.C.’s health minister called Tuesday a “solemn day” as 4,090 health care workers missed the deadline for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and were placed on unpaid leave before they could potentially lose their job. That is just over three per cent of B.C.’s 126,000 health-care workers. Adrian Dix said 1,369 of the unvaccinated

workers are in the Interior region of the province and that overall vaccination rates are also low in Northern health. “Health authorities are taking steps across B.C. to deal with the challenges presented by this,” Dix said. The same day, B.C. announced a plan for all eligible residents aged 12 and up to

Judge restores citizenship of woman from China who used fraudulent marriage to come to Canada Cecille Xu was determined to make Canada her new home, convinced it was the only way to save her first same-sex relationship in the face of homophobic parents in China. “It was a truly devastating feeling to know that your own family hates you. For who you choose to love,” she told a Canadian court. Within a few years she had become a Canadian citizen and started a promising career in finance. The only

catch was the fateful way she built her new life. Federal officials discovered Xu had paid a man $5,000 to marry her for immigration purposes — then divorced him two years later — and took the rare step in 2020 of revoking her citizenship. But now a Federal Court judge in the dramatic case has given her another chance. Justice John Norris overturned the revocation last week, saying an Immigration Refugees

Lotto 6/49 winner takes home $10,200,000 and has one dream to go to the Super Bowl Gary Muchula $10.2 million Lotto 6/49 winner (BCLC) Gary Muchula won the $10.2 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot from the Oct. 20 draw and he has one dream in mind, to go to the Super Bowl. This football lover from Vancouver purchased his winning ticket from London Drugs at Park Royal. He was out picking up a newspaper when he decided to check his Lotto 6/49 ticket at a local gas station. “I didn’t have my glasses and I thought, ‘that can’t be right,’” Muchula said. “I

checked it three or four times and went up to the girl at the counter and said ‘I’m not sure, but I think I won the lottery!’” The first person to find out about if $10.2 million win was his partner, who couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “She was walking the dog and I asked her to sit down,” Muchula said. “I told her, ‘I just won the lottery!’” In addition to hopefully going to the Super Bowl, Muchula wants to put some of his prize money towards a Christmas vacation in Barbados.

BC easing zoning requirements to speed up housing projects The B.C. government is taking its first steps to speed up municipal zoning approvals, identified by a review in 2019 and an expert panel earlier this year as a key obstacle to increasing housing supply. Legislation introduced this week by Municipal Affairs Minister Josie Osborne would remove the automatic requirement for public hearings when zoning bylaws are amended, as long as the changes are consistent with official community plans. It also allows local governments to delegate decisions on

minor development variance permits to staff. “To ensure transparency, the proposed amendment for public hearings requires local governments to provide public notice of the rezoning bylaw before the bylaw is considered at first reading by a municipal council or regional district board,” the ministry said in a statement Oct. 26. Neil Moody, CEO of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C. welcomed the first changes recommended in a development process review that was completed in 2019.

Anita Anand replaces Harjit Singh Sajjan as Canada’s Defence Minister Punjab-origin Canadian politician Anita Anand was on Tuesday appointed country’s new Defence Minister in a Cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, over a month after his Liberal Party returned power in the snap polls and amid calls for major military reforms. Anand, 54,

will replace long-time Defence Minister Indian-origin Harjit Singh Sajjan, whose handling of the military sexual misconduct crisis has been under criticism. Sajjan has been appointed Minister of International Development Agency, a report in a daily said. Anand is the second woman in Canada to be appointed Defence Minister.

Pope Francis to visit Canada for Indigenous reconciliation, Vatican says and sexual abuse of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children in Catholic-run residential schools” within one year. The TRC’s 2015 recommendation for a one-year timeline was made in consideration of aging survivors. The Pope, however, is bound to have a mixed reception when he visits. For many survivors of residential schools, he embodies a past that cannot be forgiven. “I lived at the end of a strap for 12 years,” said Cyril Pierre, a member of the Katzie First Nation near Vancouver who spent 12 years at St. Mary’s Residential

School. “I was sexually abused. The pain of that time still lives with me. The Pope can come and say what he wants. To me, it will be meaningless.” That echoes the majority view among survivors who talk to Joanne Henry, executive director of the Committee on Abuse in Residential Schools Society, a Whitehorsebased support group. “I certainly won’t be running around trying to shake his hand,” said Ms. Henry, who was forced to attend Lower Post Residential School at age 5. “If I met him, I’d say, ‘You guys tried to ruin us. You tried to ruin everything we believed in.’”

Things to know about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new cabinet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed the new makeup of his cabinet that included some additions, subtractions and a shakeup for others. Here are five things to know about the cabinet and what it all could mean. In, out, and moving about: The prime minister expanded his cabinet to 38 ministers, not including Trudeau himself, which meant adding some new faces in Kamal Khera as seniors minister, Pascal St-Onge as sport minister (also the only rookie MP in

cabinet), Marci Ien as gender equality minister, and Sean Fraser as immigration minister. It also meant promotions for Mélanie Joly to Foreign Affairs, Mona Fortier as president of the Treasury Board, and Ginette Petitpas Taylor returning to cabinet as official languages minister. Marc Garneau, who was foreign affairs minister, got dropped from cabinet altogether. Trudeau, in speaking to reporters, brushed aside questions speculating about Garneau’s future, thanking him instead for his service.

Trudeau headed in Europe as G20 leaders meet in person for first time since pandemic Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is flying to Europe later this week touting Canada’s climate plan and post-pandemic recovery progress at leaders’ summits in Italy and Scotland. Trudeau’s six-day trip - the first since September’s election returned him with a second minority government - starts with an official visit to the Netherlands for meetings with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte. Canadian officials said Trudeau will also address Dutch parliamentarians, almost three years to the day that Rutte delivered a speech in the Canadian House of Commons. His Netherlands day-trip will include a visit to the Bergen op-Zoom Canadian War Cemetery, and meetings with Dutch clean technology and environmental innovators. From Holland, Trudeau will go to Rome for the G20 leaders’ summit, which is the first

in-person encounter for leaders of the world’s biggest economies since before the pandemic. The 2020 G20 summit was to be in Saudi Arabia but moved entirely virtual amid the worst global health crisis in a century. COVID-19 recovery and vaccine equity will be high on the agenda, as the world’s wealthiest nations including Canada will be pushed to do more to help vaccinate the rest of the world. Climate change will also be a focus at the G20 which comes just before the United Nations COP26 climate talks kick off in Scotland. Trudeau will fly to Glasgow for the first two days of those negotiations before returning to Canada. It is Trudeau’s second COP meeting as prime minister. His first was in 2015, when the world agreed to the Paris accord setting a goal to keeping global warming well below 2 C.

Saturday, October 30, 2021 NDP MLAs silent as Horgan dismantles Freedom of Information laws Four NDP MLAs tasked with upholding people’s access to government information are choosing to sit silently while their boss John Horgan rams through his controversial Bill 22 legislation that strips away their right to know. The four NDP MLAs who sit on the Special Committee to Review the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) include Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA and committee chair Rick Glumac, North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Susie Chant, Burnaby North MLA Janet Routledge, and Richmond South Centre MLA Henry Yao. The committee is mandated to conduct a review of FOIPPA once every six years but has yet to begin this work apart from a 2-minute housekeeping

meeting on August 23, 2021, that lasted from 10:38 a.m. to 10:40 a.m. “It is completely astounding that John Horgan is sidestepping the committee tasked solely with reviewing FOIPPA legislation. It is even more concerning that all four NDP MLAs on this committee have no objections to their government undermining the important work of the committee,” says Opposition Critic for Citizens’ Services Bruce Banman. “None of them uttered so much as a word in the debate on an Official Opposition amendment that would have let that work continue. Instead, the four NDP MLAs shamefully voted against it without any attempt to explain their reasoning. The irony must not be lost on British Columbians that the NDP MLAs responsible for reviewing and maintaining freedom of information have been muzzled by the Premier as he dismantles key sections of the Act meant to ensure government transparency.”

Indian diplomat’s mic goes off while criticising China’s CPEC project at UN meet Sources in New Delhi, however, refused to accept “technical glitch” as the reason behind the mike failure at the UN meet held from October 14 to 16. UN under-secretary general Liu Zhenmin asked Sohoni to continue her speech. “We are confronting some technical problems and played the video of the next speaker. I am sorry for that,” Liu said after the mike was restored at the conference hall. Sohoni said, “We share the international community’s desire for enhancing physical connectivity and believe it should bring greater economic benefits to all in an equitable and balanced manner. There have been some references to the Belt and Road Initiative or BRI at this conference. Here, I wish to say that as far as China’s BRI is concerned, we are uniquely affected by it. Its inclusion of the so-called China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as a flagship project impinges on India’s sovereignty.” The BRI is a multi-billion-dollar

initiative launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping when he came to power in 2013. It aims to enhance China’s influence and also link Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Gulf region, Africa and Europe with a network of land and sea routes. The $60 billion CPEC, which connects Gwadar Port in Pakistan’s Balochistan with China’sXinjiangprovince,istheflagshipofBRI. A Pakistani diplomat, one of the speakers ahead of Sohoni, had showered praise on the BRI and CPEC projects, terming it as a “game-changer” for the region. Xi has been aggressively promoting BRI for the last few years, and referred to it at the UN conference in his opening day speech, which focused on promoting sustainable transport to bring down the carbon emissions. “China will not change course in its pursuit of a new system of open economy of higher standards, and China will not waver in its resolve to promote trade and investment liberalisation and facilitation,” Xi said.

2 US senators urge Biden to waive sanctions on India over Russian defence system Two U.S. senators have urged President Joe Biden to waive sanctions against India over its purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defense system, saying such a punitive measure would endanger growing cooperation. India signed a $5.5 billion deal with Russia in 2018 for five of the surface-to-

air missile systems for defense against longtime adversary Pakistan, and China, with which it is locked in a standoff on their disputed border. The proposed transfer has caused friction with the United States, which passed a law in 2017 under which any country engaged with Russia’s defense

President Biden names Indian-American Neera Tanden as Wite House Staff Secretary Neera Tanden, a close confidant of U.S. President Joe Biden, has been named the White House staff secretary, eight months after the Republican lawmakers scuttled her nomination to another key post.

Can’t sell Pegasus spyware to non-government actors: Israel’s envoy to India Israel does not allow companies like NSO to sell their products to non-governmental actors, newly-appointed Israeli Ambassador to India Naor Gilon said on Thursday while describing the row over the alleged use of the firm’s spyware Pegasus in India as an internal matter of the country. His comments at a press conference came a

day after the Supreme Court appointed a threemember committee to investigate the alleged use of Pegasus software to snoop on Indian citizens including journalists, activists and politicians. “I will not go into more details...NSA (Group) is a private Israeli company. Every export of NSO or such companies needs an export licence of the

Indian students beaten by mob after Pakistan’s historic win It’s no secret that the two nuclear powers and South Asian neighbours India and Pakistan don’t get along. The tension between them is palpable on their heavily armed borders and among their politicians, and it has often spilled into cricket, the sport the two former British colonies are obsessed with. But the energy on the cricket field was

different on Sunday, when Pakistan beat India in T-20 cricket World Cup tournament in UAE. In any internation tournament, the two countries have faced off about dozen of times before, ndia has always come out victorious. Even though India lost by crushing 10 wickets, the historic defeat was not visible on Indian cricket captain Virat Kholi; he smiled

Punjab Buzz missing at Captain Amarinder’s event As the time is running out for former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to form his new political outfit, the usual hustle and bustle associated with the formation of a political party was missing in his camp today. The political developments in the Congress at Delhi forced his close party associates to desist from showing up with the former CM. A senior party leader said there was still no clarity on the resolution to the farmers’ stir and the course of action being adopted by the former CM to float his party. There is strong

apprehension that to keep the Congress out, the former CM might have behind-thescene tactical understanding with Akalis. Amid the Congress high command making concerted efforts to rein in the annoyed party leaders, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Deputy CM Sukhjinder Randhawa were separately called for meetings by AICC leader Rahul Gandhi. “Ahead of the elections, efforts are on to bring truce between CM Channi, Sukhjinder Randhawa and Navjot Singh Sidhu. In the past few days, former ministers, sitting ministers and annoyed

Punjab and Haryana High Court to get 5 more judges Five advocates of the Punjab and Haryana HC will be administered oath as judges following their elevation. The advocates to be sworn in are Vikas Suri, Vinod Sharma Bhardwaj, Pankaj Jain, Jasjit Singh Bedi and Sandeep Moudgil. The names were cleared for elevation by the Supreme Court collegium in September after being forwarded by the Centre in April this year. The HC collegium

had initially made the recommendation for their elevation in August last year. Suri and Bhardwaj have been practising on the civil side and dealing with constitutional matters. Among other things, Suri has been conducting cases for the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Chandigarh and its subordinate courts since March 2010. Jain has been the UT senior standing counsel with proficiency in service law and other civil

Don’t think Congress MLAs will join Amarinder’s party: Navjot Kaur Sidhu Congress leader Navjot Kaur Sidhu on Tuesday said she doesn’t think any Congress MLA will leave the party to join former Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh’s party. She added

one man doesn’t form a party and those attached to Congress won’t leave. “Who will trust him? It would’ve been best for him had he joined SAD,” she said.

Pakistan Prime Minister appointments new ISI chief The Prime Minister’s Office on Tuesday notified the appointment of Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum as the new chief of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). He will replace the incumbent Lt Gen Faiz Hameed from next month. “The prime minister has seen and approved

the appointment of ... Lt Gen Nadeem Ahmed Anjum ... as director general Inter-Services Intelligence, with effect from November 20, 2021, from the panel of officers,” a notification issued by the PMO dated October 26 said.

Islamist Party supporters clash with police, eight killed At least eight persons, including four policemen, were killed on Wednesday in fresh clashes between supporters of a radical Islamist party and police in Pakistan’s Punjab province after the Imran Khan government failed to meet their demands to release party chief Saad Rizvi and expel the French envoy. More than 10,000 supporters of the banned

Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) who had been camping between Muridke and Gujranwala along the GT Road for the last three days on Wednesday started marching towards Islamabad after Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government announced it “cannot meet the TLP’s demand for expulsion of the French ambassador”.

Five arrested with 80kg crystal meth in Peshawar raid In a major drug haul, the capital city police claimed to have arrested five members of an international drug smuggling gang and recovered 80 kilogrammes of methamphetamine from their possession. Addressing a press conference at the Malik Saad Shaheed police lines, Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Peshawar Abbas Ahsan said the recovered crystal meth was worth Rs100 million in the international market. He said the drug haul was the biggest in

the province’s history, adding the police had also taken five drug smugglers into custody. He said two of the smugglers were Afghan nationals and the rest belonged to Balochistan. Mr Ahsan said the accused were detained during a raid at a house in Hayatabad area, where they were packing crystal meth into parcels to sell it in the city and smuggle to other areas. He said the recovered crystal meth was brought from Afghanistan.

Saudi Arabia to provide $4.2 billion aid - Prime Minister Imran Khan Saudi Arabia agrees to provide $4.2 billion worth of assistance to Pakistan to support its economy, it emerged after Prime Minister Imran Khan held talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in Riyadh.

Divisional crimes officer Northern Rajesh Maharaj, Savusavu police officer Rusiate

Raivukica and Savusavu station officer Gyan Singh were sued by businessman Ravindra Lal for the wrongful detainment of his vehicle in 2019.

Man jailed for 14 years and seven months for raping girl The High Court in Lautoka jailed a man for 14 years and seven months for raping a 14-year-old girl in July, 2019. Justice Thushara Rajasinghe said in his October 13 ruling that the man, who was the victim’s step-uncle, had breached the trust of the girl.

“Instead of caring and looking after this small, young complainant, you manipulatively used her naivety in childhood to satisfy your lustful sexual gratification,” said Justice Rajasinghe. “She was fourteen years old and you were forty-seven years old when this offence took place.

NRI Indians paid Rs 9,700 crore in hidden forex fees Indians paid nearly Rs 9,700 crore in the form of fees hidden in inflated exchange rates while making remittances in 2020. This is more than a third (36%) of the total fees of Rs 26,300 crore that Indians paid for sending money across their country’s borders. The fees reflect a lack of transparency and high charges applied by banks on remittances. Banks have been reducing the fees on foreign remittances and their income under this head fell from Rs 15,017 crore in 2016 to Rs 12,142 crore in 2019. However, they have protected themselves by recovering Rs 4,422 crore through exchange mark-up in 2020, which was up from Rs 2,505 crore in 2016. These figures were from independent research carried out by Capital Economics in August 2021, which aimed to estimate the scale of foreign exchange transaction fees in India. The study was released by Wise, the technology

company that was founded with the objective of reducing cross-border remittance costs. Overseas workers sending money into India are also losing money. Over the past five years, money lost to exchange rate margins on inward remittances has grown from Rs 4,200 crore to Rs 7,900 crore. Meanwhile, fees paid to transaction costs have grown from Rs 10,200 crore in 2016 to Rs 14,000 crore in 2020. “A significant portion of these fees paid on remittances to India come from people in Gulf countries where most are employed in blue-collared jobs to support their families back home in India,” a statement issued by Wise said. Of the share of total fees paid on inward remittances to India in 2020, Saudi Arabia ranked first at 24%, followed by the US (18%), the UK (15%), Qatar (8%), Canada (6%), Oman (5%), UAE (5%), Kuwait (5%), and Australia (4%).

Diwali - Festival of Lights

iwali, Deepavali or Divali a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists, notably Newar Buddhists.The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika (between midOctober and mid-November).[8][9][10] One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance”. The festival is widely associated with Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity, with many other regional traditions connecting the holiday to Sita and Rama, Vishnu, Krishna, Yama, Yami, Durga, Kali, Hanuman, Ganesha, Kubera, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman. Furthermore, it is, in some regions, a celebration of the day Lord Rama returned to

his kingdom Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating Ravana in Lanka and serving 14 years of exile. In the lead-up to Diwali, celebrants will prepare by cleaning, renovating, and decorating their homes and workplaces with diyas (oil lamps) and rangolis (colorful art circle patterns). During Diwali, people wear their finest clothes, illuminate the interior and exterior of their homes with diyas and rangoli, perform worship ceremonies of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth, light fireworks, and partake in family feasts, where mithai (sweets) and gifts are shared. Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh and Jain diaspora. The five-day long festival originated in the Indian subcontinent and is mentioned in early

Sanskrit texts. Diwali is usually celebrated twenty days after the Vijayadashami (Dussehra, Dasara, Dasain) festival, with Dhanteras, or the regional equivalent, marking the first day of the festival when celebrants prepare by cleaning their homes and making decorations on the floor, such as rangolis. The second day is Naraka Chaturdashi. The third day is the day of Lakshmi Puja and the darkest night of the traditional month. In some parts of India, the day after Lakshmi Puja is marked with the Govardhan Puja and Balipratipada (Padwa). Some Hindu communities mark the last day as Bhai Dooj or the regional equivalent, which is dedicated to the bond between sister and brother,[22] while other Hindu and Sikh craftsmen communities

Premier John Horgan and your MLAs wish you a

mark this day as Vishwakarma Puja and observe it by performing maintenance in their work spaces and offering prayers.Some other faiths in India also celebrate their respective festivals alongside Diwali. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira, the Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal Empire prison, while Newar Buddhists, unlike other Buddhists, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi, while the Hindus of Eastern India and Bangladesh generally celebrate Diwali, by worshipping goddess Kali. The main day of the festival of Diwali (the day of Lakshmi Puja) is an official holiday in Fiji,Guyana,India, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myan mar,Nepal,Pakistan,Singapore Sri Lanka, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago.
