Feds carbon tax could reduce Sask. GDP by almost $16 billion by 2030

According to a new analysis from the University of Regina’s Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Communities, a federal carbon tax could potentially reduce Saskatchewan’s gross domestic product (GDP) by almost $16 billion, with little effect on emissions. “The federal government has significantly underestimated the economic impact of its carbon tax and overestimated the expected Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reductions,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “This new and more thorough model indicates GDP reductions in the billions, which translates to less competitive industries in Saskatchewan and fewer jobs across the province. This is exactly why our government has never supported the tax and is challenging it in court.” The Government of Saskatchewan, in conjunction with researchers from the Institute looked at several detailed scenarios of a federal carbon tax. The most conservative scenario shows a carbon tax of $50 per tonne would reduce provincial GDP by 2.43 per cent or $1.8 billion annually. Total impact to the provincial GDP could reach approximately $16 billion from 2019 to the end of 2030. The study also looked at the potential environmental impact of a federal carbon tax and found it will only reduce GHG emissions by less than one megatonne. This is approximately 1.25 per cent of Saskatchewan’s total emissions and would result in a cost to GDP of $1,890 per tonne. In addition to significant impacts on provincial and national GDP, research conducted at the University of Calgary confirms a federal carbon tax will cost an average Saskatchewan household more than $1,000 per year. The federal government has not incorporated specific provincial economic data in its modelling. Saskatchewan exports more than any other province as a proportion of its total GDP. In 2017, Saskatchewan exports made up 47.7 per cent of the provincial GDP. “The federal government

has not accounted for energy-intensive, tradeexposed industries that drive our economy and has not told Canadians what they will be paying or what little impact that price will have on emissions,” Duncan said. “Our strategy will enhance our resiliency to climate change, result in actual emissions reductions, and ensure our industries remain competitive.” Saskatchewan’s climate change strategy, Prairie Resilience, includes SaskPower’s commitment to achieve up to 50 per cent electricity capacity from renewable resources and reduce overall GHG emissions by 40 per cent by 2030. This will result in GHG reductions of approximately six million tonnes. In addition, upstream oil and gas producers will reduce GHG emissions by 40 to 45 per cent through a methane reduction strategy, which will result in reductions of 4 to 4.5 million tonnes. Prairie Resilience also recognizes the prominent role of agriculture in addressing climate change and reducing emissions. Producers already sequester nearly 12 million tonnes of carbon through innovations such as zero till technology. Further reductions are expected from large industrial emitters as the performance standards are developed. Saskatchewan will make these significant reductions in GHG emissions without a carbon tax.

Saskatchewan Highway Patrol begins duties July 1 The Saskatchewan Highway Patrol now has a new look to accompany its new name and mandate. Two weeks ago, the former Commercial Vehicle Enforcement group was renamed as the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol to reflect its expanded responsibilities. The new name comes with a new look – a blue stripe down the side of the vehicle along with the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol name and crest. In addition to protecting the provincial highway system through the enforcement of commercial vehicles, the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol will support the provincial Protection and Response Team (PRT) and enforce Criminal Code violations. “Beginning July 1, people will see the new Saskatchewan Highway

Patrol vehicles on highways throughout the province,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “The officers will be responding to situations where previously only the police would be involved. Drivers need to be aware that Saskatchewan Highway Patrol officers will now be enforcing traffic violations for commercial and private vehicles.” Last year, the Government of Saskatchewan announced the creation of the PRT to help reduce crime in rural Saskatchewan. The team is comprised of police officers from the RCMP and municipal police forces, as well as Saskatchewan Highway Patrol officers from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and Ministry of Environment Conserva-

• Enforcing speed limits and other traffic violations – inside and outside of work zones; • Responding to motor vehicle accidents; and • Taking action when offences are committed. “Increasing the presence of uniformed officers in rural areas will help deter crime,” Marit said. “It will also improve response times to emergency calls, including crimes that are in progress.”

tion Officers. Commercial vehicle enforcement will remain the primary responsibility of the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol. However, the officers will have additional responsibilities, including arrest and detention powers, to support their role on the PRT. Other duties will include: • Responding to 911 calls; • Investigating impaired drivers;

‘Tis the season It is July. A time for vacations, relaxing in the backyard and enjoying outdoor activities. The “summer” months, known as July and August, are the hottest months of the year. The phrase “dog days of summer” is often bantered around and the refer to the hot. sultry weather during this time. According to legend we can experience heat, drought, sudden thunder storms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs and bad luck. No one is quite sure where the meaning of the term originates but it doesn’t really matter. This is the time of year we yearn for when we have -40 degrees and a snow storm. We think longingly of shorts and trips to the pool. So, enjoy. Take advantage of the spray park or the swimming pool. Or maybe try some golf. Or take a walk around town or the Schmirler Park. Maybe you love to garden or you just want to relax on your deck or patio. The important thing is to just enjoy the season. P.H.

Letter to the Editor … Dear Editor: Regarding Grad 2018 On June 28 I attended the graduation exercises at BCS 2000. While most of the evening was very enjoyable, the inappropriate and disrespectful use of airhorns during the presentation of the diplomas disrupted a pleasant celebration of student achievement. These actions may be acceptable at sporting events, but this boorish backwater behaviour should not be part of a somewhat formal event.

The last time I attended the graduation exercises was several years ago and this type of rude behaviour also disrupted the event. Graduation is not a football game and actions should be appropriate to the occasion. Use of airhorns is not smart, cute, amusing or entertaining. It shows poor manners and is just plain rude.

Canadians willing to negotiate supply management by Carlo Dade, director of the Trade & Investment Centre at the Canada West Foundation The federal government adamantly refuses to negotiate supply management in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) talks. Perhaps this is because our politicians — including the many who understand why supply management should go — assume that Canadians won’t support putting the system on the table. This is absolutely false. Ten months ago, at the start of the NAFTA negotiations, more than twothirds of Canadian respondents said in a national poll said they were willing to put supply management on the negotiating table; fewer than one in five said they were willing to defend it at any cost in the context of the NAFTA negotiations. (There were three questions in the poll; I will discuss the first and the third). Considering how much has changed since then, it’s no stretch to predict that even fewer Canadians now believe we should defend supply management at all cost. Yet, the politicians persist. They

should start acknowledging that the public may no longer support them. The poll, done in August 2017 by NRG Research Group for the Canada West Foundation, anticipated our current predicament in the NAFTA negotiations by asking Canadians a different question about supply management than have past polls. Rather than asking how much respondents liked or disliked supply management, the question asked how much they were willing to sacrifice to keep supply management, in the context of the NAFTA negotiations. The introduction of real world NAFTA consequences and costs to the question moved public opinion in ways that purely domestic costs, like paying more for dairy products, did not. Question 1 in the poll asked: “Under a system called ‘supply management,’ the government of Canada keeps most foreign dairy products out of Canada, sets a limit on the level of dairy production in Canada, and allocates guaranteed milk production and sales quotas to every qualified dairy farmer. This provides a stable and profitable economic situation for dairy farmers and

They MUST be signed, approximately 300 words in length and are subject to editing. the dairy industry as a whole. However, it also means dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt are 2 to 3 times more expensive in Canada than in some other countries. Do you (the order of options was rotated when asked): Question 3 in the poll asked: “Donald Trump has recently joined other US State and Federal lawmakers – both Republican and Democrat – as well as other countries like New Zealand and Australia – who have all been consistently clear that ending Canadian supply management and gaining greater access to Canada’s market for milk, cheese, and other dairy products is important to them. The US has said that getting a new deal on dairy products will be a top priority for them in renegotiating NAFTA. So, when asked about paying more out of pocket for dairy products, a narrow majority of Canadians, 55 per cent, were willing to pay more. But fully 45 per cent were more interested in getting rid of supply management in exchange for cheaper milk. When the stakes were raised from personal cost to national interest, the responses changed and an overwhelming majority, 67 per cent, were willing to negotiate away supply management either as a last resort or up front to see what could be gained; nine per cent — close to 1 in 10 — were ready to drop it immediately with nothing in return. The poll, including question 3, was conducted before negotiations really started, and before any of the recent Trump trade war threats and aggressive actions. But what is important is that more than two-thirds of Canadians were willing to put supply management

on the negotiating table in the context of NAFTA negotiations. Given that the negative consequences have now become reality, that support has likely only grown. Statements by our prime minister, the federal cabinet and the provincial premiers seem to be based on the false assumption that Canadians are unwilling to put supply management on the negotiating table. This openness to changes is not just theoretical. Canada has already made concessions on supply management and Canadians have allowed them to happen. First, concessions were made to the Europeans in the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), opening up 3 percent of our Canadian dairy market to competition. Even before the NAFTA talks started, Canada offered the US access to another 3.25 percent of the Canadian dairy market in the TransPacific Partnership (TPP), before the US pulled out of the agreement under Trump. It is certainly frustrating to the Americans that Canada is suddenly now unwilling to offer the same concessions for NAFTA that it gave them in the TPP, or that it gave the Europeans in CETA. Talk by Canadian premiers visiting Washington, DC, of making no concessions whatsoever ignores this reality for the sake of domestic Canadian political posturing. The prime minister has recently mused publicly about making concessions on supply management. He should know that when it comes to NAFTA and supply management, Canadians are already well ahead of him on this issue.

The good ol’ ball game Summer time. Baseball season. Allow me to harken back to days gone by -- when I was much younger and a bit more agile. A baseball glove was a staple. You took it to school with you everyday because you played ball at recess and noon hours. You took it with you to 4-H meetings. You took it with you to any social event, and everyone threw bats and balls in the vehicles because in all likelihood a ball game would break out. Babe Ruth said, “Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.� And Yogi Berra said, “Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.� Both these great players agree with a large number of fans. It is estimated that every year 56,000,000 attend major league baseball games. Baseball has, as does every game, some folklore. Those stories and quirks that go unnoticed

Tire-Blowout 101: What to do when your tire fails (NC) Tire-blowout season runs roughly from the middle of May through early October. This is the time when the outside temperatures are the warmest and drivers are travelling longer distances. Do you know what to do if this happens? Since tire blowouts are not completely avoidable, it’s important to know what to do if it happens. The experts at Nokian Tyres, a leading tire manufacturer, share their key tips to keep in mind: 1.) Remain calm. Keeping your cool may seem like an unrealistic expectation, especially when something as scary as a tire blowout is occurring, but you will be doing yourself a favour by keeping your head and handling the situation in a composed manner. 2.) Control the vehicle. Gently remove your foot from the accelerator and let the vehicle slow down gradually. Keep your hands firmly on the wheel and guide the vehicle straight ahead. The tires are going to try to pull towards one side, but it’s extremely important to not turn the car. Pull over to the shoulder and come to a complete stop. If possible, try to pull over

with the damaged tire facing away from traffic. This will make it easier and safer to observe and replace the tire. 3.) Make yourself visible to other drivers. It is vital to make you and your vehicle visible to other drivers on the road. Once the vehicle has safely come to a complete stop, turn on the emergency flashers and observe your surrounding conditions. If the road conditions are safe, exit the vehicle, put out reflective cones if available, and assess the situation. 4.) Observe the damage. If one or more of the tires looks flat, low or shows detachment or other damage, remove the tire assembly and replace it with a properly inflated spare. Bumps or bulges may indicate detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified tire

technician. 5.) Replace the damaged tire. Your owner’s manual will tell you where to find the spare and the tools needed to change it. If you don’t know how to switch the tire, call for roadside assistance. It’s imperative not to try to drive on the flat tire. Not only is this extremely dangerous, but it can cause more harm to your vehicle and come with a steep repair cost. Keep in mind that spares are only recommended for emergency situations and should not be driven on for long distances or at high speeds.

yard light. But, the longest league game happened in the 1920s when the Boston Braves played the Brooklyn Dodgers. Twenty-six innings later, the game ended in a 1-1 tie and ended because the baseball field was not lit and it was getting dark. Some famous people had a chance to play the game. John Dillinger was a professional second baseman in the minor leagues before he decided to become a bank robber. Mario Cuomo was an outfielder with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1952. He later went on to become Governor of New York. Charlie Sheen was offered a full scholarship to the University of Kansas but declined it to pursue his acting career. Even Fidel Castro was a star player while attending the University of Havana. Let’s not leave the officials out. MLB umpires are required to wear black underwear -- just in case their pants split.

Stacks It may seem some kind of an excuse to many, but Y.T. (Yours Truly!) has no idea how in heck he is going to make this dull report on “stacks� into a readable column! He knows that there must be thousands of stories about haystack adventures, and he also knows that where as Mae West might have been an actress from the past who used the odd haystack as her stage, some of the interludes that she portrayed are still being enacted all over! Y.T. don’t imagine that the expression “a roll in the hay!� was first used by Mae either, because he clearly remembers an old gramophone record by Harry Lauder, entertaining the soldiers of WWI, singing: “I’ll rowe her in the

ing back, we sure think of those good times a lot more! Mebbe it was because the earth underfoot was so unyielding all around us, and everything seemed so solid, but as soon as a threshing machine had moved away and left some huge straw stack in our fields, we young fellows would immediately try to climb upon them. I don’t think we ever made it to the top, but the spongy straw under our feet and the crumbling soft (if chaffy!) slopes of them seemed a real magnet to us little fellows. Straw stacks seemed to be everywhere in those days, and folks often burned the ones that weren’t used for bedding the animals. As a matter of fact, one young fellow found a ring of cinders out in a grain field one day, annoyed that some aliens had landed there! Being hard pressed for money, Dad made a corral affair from some poplar poles he’d cut, and threshed a whole straw stack into it in order to make a pig pen. The pigs sure liked it! I know because Walt and I talked it over with some of

Let’s hope that the ones who build our stacks of the future, make them out of food instead of money!

at all out here (even the ever-present Russian Thistle didn’t grow well!), Dad fashioned a small windrow affair behind the old horse drawn five-foot mower blade and cut the low spots where something did grow. I forget how many rack loads of Russian Thistle we put up that year into two long, high stacks, but as we sold most of our cattle that fall for 1c per pound, those one time twelve-foot high stacks just sat there until a couple of years later they were only six-feet high and had turned an evil musty black!

Agricultural heritage of fairs lost to time by Calvin Daniels It is fair time in Yorkton, and that is an annual event that always brings back a flood of memories from my youth. In my youth, a time now more than three decades in the past, I spent large chunks of my summer at fairs. Dad showed livestock back then, and I was naturally thrust into the show ring. I won my first trophy at age 5, the Inkster Cup as I recall, and if I dug around in enough boxes I might still have the little keeper trophy. From that time until I was beyond my teen years I was showing stock.

Agriculture

Varied rain showers help provincial crop development Across the province, the majority of crops are in good condition and at their normal stages of development for this time of year, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report for June 19 to 28. Seventy-six per cent of the oilseeds and fall and spring cereals are at their normal stages of development, while 80 per cent of the pulses are at the normal stages of development for this time of year. Sixty-five per cent of spring wheat, 57 per cent of canola, 47 per cent of lentils and 54 per cent of peas are in good condition. Many areas received rain showers this week, although amounts varied significantly. In some areas in the southwest, the rain has helped replenish top soil moisture. The Vanguard area received 80 millimetres of rain, the Shaunavon

area 49 millimetres, the Success area 39 millimetres, the Fife Lake area 23 millimetres, the Mossbank area 15 millimetres and the Tompkins area 18 millimetres. Other parts of Saskatchewan reporting significant rainfall include the Broadview area 56 millimetres, the Fillmore area 30 millimetres, the Jedburgh area 53 millimetres, the Humboldt area 38 millimetres, the Eyebrow area 42 millimetres and the Tisdale area 32 millimetres. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as two per cent surplus, 64 per cent adequate, 30 per cent short and four per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 55 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 10 per cent very short. Topsoil moisture is in shortest supply in the

southwest. Haying operations have started and five per cent of the hay crop has been cut and two per cent baled or put into silage. Across the province, quality is rated as eight per cent excellent, 44 per cent good, 38 per cent fair and 10 per cent poor. Crops, hay and pasture particularly in the southwestern and west-central regions - are being affected by the dry conditions. Hay yield is expected to be lower than average and pastures are expected to have significantly reduced carrying capacity going into the summer months. As well as starting to cut hay, producers are finishing weed control operations. The majority of crop damage this week was due to lack of moisture. Cutworms are still causing damage in some areas.

in a safe, sustainable way. Fairs used to be a forum that allowed that dialogue to take place as people casually walked through the barns as part of going to the summer fair. Whether it was Nipawin Fair, Saltcoats, Abernathy, Kelliher, Kelvington, Prince Albert of dozens of others, there was a chance for producers to show off their livestock and talk farming with others. That element of the summer fair is all but gone. Barns in Yorkton, as an example, see very limited use at the summer fair now, which for me is a sad thing. But at least my childhood memories remain.

Red Sox sluggers outshining Yanks’ pair The American League East is loaded with sluggers and the two-headed monster getting the most attention — they operate out of New York, after all — is the Yankees’ slugging duo of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. But a far scarier, far more powerful twoheaded monster is operating this season out of Fenway Park in Boston. Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez may not garner the Judge-Stanton headlines but they are the most potent pair of sluggers of 2018. It’s easy for Martinez, who played with Arizona and Detroit last year, to get lost in the shuffle. A quick check of the Internet shows that 46 players with the surname Martinez have played Major League Baseball. (You’ve heard of Buck, the former Blue Jay who’s now a team broadcaster; you’ve probably heard of Pedro, the former Expos’ star pitcher; and you might know of Dave, who’s the current manager of the Nationals). But J.D. is currently at

the mountaintop of Martinezes, and is having an MVP-calibre season, a potential Triple Crown season, and an offensive season that could carry the Red Sox to championship glory this year. With 25 homers in Boston’s first 84 games, he’s on pace for a 48-homer season, far ahead of his career average of 34 per year. That homer total would put him in elite Red Sox slugging company, alongside Ted Williams, Yaz, Jimmy Foxx and David Ortiz. But Betts’s numbers may be even better. The Red Sox leadoff hitter leads the league in slugging percentage (Martinez is second) and is runner-up to Jose Altuve of Houston in the batting-average category. Betts is fifth in homers (Martinez is No. 1). Betts and Martinez are No. 1 and No. 3 in OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging), the most telltale stat for hitting proficiency. While New York fans think their Judge-Stanton one-two punch might

Anglers reminded to report tagged fish Conservation Officer or Ministry of Environment Compliance Office. It is also helpful to include additional information in the report, such as the tag colour, species, fish length or weight, location and date of capture. Photos of the fish are also very useful as part of the research. Fish tagging is a common research tool used to temporarily or permanently mark fish that are a part of a scientific study. Organizations who tag these fish often rely on anglers to report tags when the tagged fish are caught. Tag reports provide valuable insight on fish

movement and survival, which inform fisheries management. Anglers may notice tags along the back of a fish. The tag appearance may vary depending on the type of tag and its function. The most common tag is a T-bar tag or “noodle tag� which is typically located alongside a dorsal fin.

Randy Weekes, MLA Biggar - Sask Valley Constituency Office 106- 3rd Ave. West, Box 1413 Biggar, SK S0K 0M0

Toll Free: 1-877-948-4880 Phone: 1-306-948-4880 Fax: 1-306-948-4882

Please leave the tags on the fish if they are released back into the water. The Government of Saskatchewan has conducted several tagging projects on water bodies throughout the province. In addition, the province has partnered with other agencies and research

groups on various fish studies that use different types of fish tags. Some of the popular lakes for recreational angling where tagged fish may be found include: Tobin Lake, Last Mountain Lake, Buffalo Pound Reservoir, the Qu’Appelle Lakes, Lake Diefenbaker and Boundary Reservoir.

If an angler comes across a tagged fish, they should examine the tag for a unique identification number (typically three to six numerical digits) and contact information. The identification number should be recorded and reported to the e-mail address or phone number printed on the tag as soon as possible. Alternatively, tags can be reported to a local

OBITUARY

OBITUARY

Mary McGOWAN (nee Kirychuk) December 2, 1942 - June 30, 2018 Mary (Kirychuk) McGowan passed away on June 30, 2018 in Biggar Hospital at the age of 75, after a seven-month battle with cancer. Mary was born December 2, 1942 at the Red Cross Outpost Hospital in Paddockwood, Sask. She married Sargent Ernest McGowan of Paddockwood in 1962. Both teachers, they worked together at Albertville, Meath Park, Wild Rose, La Ronge and Gronlid before Sarge began farming in 1971. Mary continued to teach at Christopher Lake and Paddockwood, and filled her hours as teacher, parent, and farm wife. For fun they could be found visiting, playing cards, dancing, fishing, canoeing or going for an evening drive. In 1986, the family moved to Saskatoon and Mary joined Radius Tutoring, working with adults. Sarge and Mary returned to the farm at Paddockwood in 1995 and began organic farming, including building a greenhouse. Mary’s excellent baking, perogies and cabbage rolls, along with fresh produce, kept them popular at the Christopher Lake Farmers’ Market. In 2005, Mary moved to Biggar, Sask., teaching at Golden View Hutterite Colony and Biggar Central School. Retiring in 2008, Mary enjoyed reading, dancing, Arts Council and musical events and volunteering, and making a large circle of friends. She travelled all over North America, twice to Europe, and kept busy summer and winter at old time dances, from pattern dancing and square dancing to polka fests. Following her lung cancer diagnosis in December 2017, Mary received critical and loving care at St. Paul’s, Royal University Hospital (neurosurgery and oncology units) and the Biggar Hospital for palliative care. Mary leaves to mourn, her son, Kerry (Melanie Hilt) of Provost, Alta. and their children, Kendra and Pierce (Chloe Gessner); son, James (Jodie Haugen) of Weyburn, Sask. and their children, Anne Marie, Sargent and Rachel; daughter, Merle (Garth Massie) of Biggar, Sask. and their children, Bronwyn and Alric; sister, Olga; and brothers, Peter and Helmer; as well as loving in-laws, nieces and nephews. Mary was predeceased by her parents, Emil and Pauline Kirychuk; husband, Sargent; son, David; as well as siblings, Nick, Bill, and Donald. To honour Mary’s connection to two homes, there will be two services . . .
