On the horizon, the federal government has a planned 30 percent carbon tax increase which will impact not only our travel but our home heating and general living expenses. The added costs of transporting goods as well as the added overhead for businesses will also be passed on to consumers.
Not to be the ones bucking the trend, our federal government seems to be shoving their hand deeper and deeper into our pockets every chance they get. The CMHC has (so far) spent $500,000 studying and promoting a home equity tax. The idea of taxing the gains in value of a person’s primary residence has been floated, hence the study. The study done by social media showed that 95 percent of the feedback was negative. The comments voiced the opinion that it would be unfair to tax Canadians who worked hard to invest in their homes and those who rely on their home equity for retirement.
It is clear that there is a significant disconnect between certain governments and the taxpayers who foot the bills for their spending. We have seen this in other countries with disastrous results. One has to wonder what the breaking point of Canadians is and if we will reach it.
Duringendure.thepandemic,
As a final example, the federal government has granted federal employees a day off, “declaring an opportunity for Canadians to mourn…” Of course, the average Canadian will pay for this time off and will have to mourn on their own time. The state funeral service began at 6 am ET, (4 am Alberta time) on Monday and ran for an hour. This would have provided those who felt the need, ample time to watch the funeral and then carry on with their day. A government that was not so out of touch may have instead offered a moment of silence to pay respect to the Queen, thus saving taxpayers a few extra dollars in lost hours.
spending and debt will only equal higher taxes for Ontarians. Not far down the road, Newfoundland and Labrador is making it more difficult for people by adding the “pop tax.” Touted as a health measure, the 20 cent per litre tax is added to select items like pop, but not ice cream. Additionally, it is added at the wholesale level, so people don’t see it on their bill but do get to pay the added 15 percent sales tax on top. A tax on the tax and $9 million in tax revenue for the province.
We all have bills to pay, and for almost everyone it’s getting more and more difficult by the day to make those payments. From inflation to the increased costs related to supply chain and other global factors, many of which are attributed to the global pandemic, we see life getting more expensive at every turn. At some levels, there are attempts to relieve some of the pressure, but at others, it seems that living on credit is the popular theme.
On the flip side, the Ontario government is being criticized for an eight percent increase in spending for the first quarter compared to last year. Simply servicing their debt amounts to $3.34 billion every year and they are possibly the most debt riddled province, state or territory in the developed world. This

while average Canadians lost wages, the federal government increased payroll, alcohol and carbon taxes three times. According to the Fraser Institute, “The average Canadian family now spends more of its income on taxes, (36.4 percent) than it does on basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing combined (35.4 percent).”
Next comes information that while COVID shut down the tourism industry via lockdowns and travel restrictions, employees at the federal Crown Corporation “Destination Canada” received bonuses and pay raises. In the 2020 and 2021 years, bonuses cost Canadian taxpayers $617,000 and $604,000 respectively. Additionally, in those same years while people in the tourism industry such as servers, hotel staff, restaurants etc. were essentially shut down, pay increases at Destination Canada came to another $349,000. Hardly the pay cut others had to

Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser – Opinion
Many provinces including our own are offering relief where possible. Alberta has cut taxes on gasoline, introduced an electricity rebate program and have pending natural gas rebates slated for October. Much of this has been made possible because of a $13.2 billion surplus due largely to resource revenue. In Saskatchewan the provincial government offered $500 rebate cheques to people living there. Nova Scotia has managed to balance their budget and announced a surplus of $350 million for their fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, which many hope will bring tax relief in the near future.

90 Years Ago – September 21, 2022
If we return to the first principles in managing emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, we can easily see what is wrong with our current approach. The first step in discussing a response to a situation is to establish that there really is a need, and emergency managers do that by starting with a hazard
In this pandemic, however, we have watched as our Canadian elected officials and Medical Officers of Health focused on a vaccine as the only solution. Not surprisingly, not all countries have followed this approach.
Consequently, most Canadians did not require a vaccine. All the COVID waves that passed through the population supported this conclusion.
Emergency managers also knew in March 2020 that a safe and effective vaccine was years away from being developed and properly tested. But our elected officials and their supporters persuaded Canadians that a vaccine could be rushed in a few months, ignoring the lesson that safe vaccines take time to develop and test properly.

that, beginning in February 2020, mortality caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus was mainly in the senior demographic cohort of the Canadian population, particularly those with multiple comorbidities. The virus was no more deadly than the seasonal influenza virus for young people unless they were severely immune compromised.
In addition, this same group of elected officials and their supporters believed the only way out of this pandemic while waiting for a vaccine was by invoking the use of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs), which we now call “lockdowns.” This use of NPIs and the belief that “lockdowns” are effective and vaccines must be used is both wrong and deadly.

We noticed that our old friend, Joe Clarke, ex-mayor of Edmonton and a political battler of great note, is 63 years old this week. We thought Joe was far older than that for he has been a nuisance for at least forty years. Many happy returns of the day.

Lucas said that as far as he knew everyone evacuated safely. As to the threat to the public, Lucas said, “There was no real danger to the public at any time. It was contained. We had the whole block shut down in all directions to keep people back.”
Grimmelt, Spokesperson for the Department of Labour and Immigration, said, “OHS is investigating an incident that occurred on September 19, 2022, which resulted in a building being burned. A stop work order was issued, and is still in place, to prevent entry into the building until it is cleared by an engineer. A similar incident occurred in 2020 and was investigated by OHS. A stop work order was issued on this incident. The investigation into that incident is now closed. There were no tickets, charges or penalties placed with respect to the incident.”

It could have been anything from a truck tire to acetylene bottles to propane tanks. Stuff like that was in there.”
Shortly after 3:30 pm a track hoe from Coville Construction was knocking down some of the building material so firefighters could gain access to hot spots and extinguish them.

Lucas expressed his deep frustration as there were people who ignored the barricades and verbal warnings to stay back. “We had a couple of people just about drive over our hoses. They just don’t seem to get it. Our guys need to have room to work. When they run over our hoses it puts us in danger.”
At this time the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

The resolution reads in part: “That Rural Municipalities of Alberta, (RMA) request the Government of Alberta establish a salarybased funding model that will fairly and equitably compensate nurse practitioners for work in rural local care facilities and rural independent clinics.
A 2022 survey conducted by the Alberta Medical Association
indicates that 34 percent of Albertans do not currently have a family physician. One solution to this issue is care provided by nurse practitioners.”

The RFD also stated that Alberta has more than 800 licensed nurse practitioners with 30 to 100 new graduates annually and are trained to provide essential health care services. It went on to state, “nurse practitioners are completely independent health care professionals who could work in urgent care facilities, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, community clinics, primary care offices andSomehospitals.examples of the services they could provide include: ordering and reading x-rays, tests, laboratory results, providing or ordering treatments, prescribing medication, follow-up care and education and referring to specialists.

Thank you!
At St. Joseph’s, I provide site leadership and support the many departments. I work collaboratively with the teams to ensure we are providing safe, efficient and patient and family centered care. Having many years of experience in rural communities I feel I bring a fresh and energetic perspective to the hospital and look forward to sharing my many ideas.
Thank you for writing Li. Our communities are also blessed to have seniors like you to learn from and glean some of the wisdom only your experience and insight can provide. Your contributions have been, and continue to be, of great value to those around you. -AB

Two Hills RCMP and Victim Services Host Hot Dog Lunch
Gillis said that, “Feedback for this type of event is always very positive and there are always individuals who admit that they are not aware of the services Victim Services provides. This type of event provides an opportunity to explain the services available by its fully trained staff and volunteer advocates.
Thank you for writing Gaetane, Many people are asking the same question. While 55 per cent of Canadians supported remaining a constitutional monarchy as long as the Queen was alive, support for King Charles and Queen Camilla dropped to 34 per cent in the country. Only time will tell if Canada wants to make a change. -AB
Two Hills and Area Victim Services is a nonprofit society which is reliant on government funding, grants, fundraising and donations.
Victim Services quietly assists its clients via referrals from the RCMP so often the community is not aware of the work we do which is to provide support
and referrals to required services to victims of crime including shelter, court, support, counselling and information regarding the justice system. We also assist with victims of trauma and tragedy - assisting them through various types of crisis including sudden death, mental illness, accidents, suicide and family violence. Two Hills Victim Services is also active within the Two Hills community advocating safety and prevention.”
The lunch was very well attended with over 175 people joining us on a hot beautiful sunny day in the backyard of the Two Hills RCMP detachment. This is the third time we have hosted this type of luncheon and they are always very well received.
Do you think monarchy has brought something to you?

Former newspaperman Sonny Rajoo had his fair share of assignments in his 50 plus years in the business of journalism. While he preferred writing investigative pieces there was one human interest story he couldn’t pass up, and that was the opportunity to be a part of the media tour when the Queen Elizabeth II visited Alberta 1990.
He said both he and the Queen had a cup of tea in their hands as they chatted together. Rajoo said he immediately felt comfortable in the presence of the Queen. He remarked that, “The Queen never talked down to me. She talked with me. It was as if we were both friends. At that moment in the presence of the Queen, I never felt so human, and so did she.”

“She’s not allowed to speak politically, but she’s an extremely intelligent woman well versed in world affairs,” noted Rajoo. “Why I hold the Queen in high esteem, most of all she brought the Commonwealth countries together. Some of the African rulers looked up to Queen. Tradition of unity. Presidents come and go, but royalty has three C’s: credibility, continuity, consistency. I believe royalty brings that.”
Rajoo studied in India in 1970, and said his “fascination” with Royalty and history goes way back to Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. The Queen was the longest reigning British monarch and second longest in the world with a reign of 70 years.
At the time of tour, Rajoo said, “I was one of the very few visible minorities in journalism because I come from apartheid South Africa. I was particularly intrigued that a lady of her stature would take a keen interest in a simple farm boy from Africa.”
Rajoo, who was the Editor of the Westlock newspaper at the time, said you had to make application and have a letter of recommendation in order to be considered for accreditation as a member of the media for the Royal tour which took place from June 27-30. Most of the official engagements were in Calgary, but the Queen did visit the pediatric ward at the Red Deer Regional Hospital and attend a luncheon in her honour on June 28.
Rajoo also told the Queen how much the people of India held the monarchy in high esteem. My father served in the Second World War and he served under King George VI. He said the monarchy brought stability to that country, and pointed out that, “The last Viceroy of India was also Prince Philip’s Uncle Lord Mountbatten.” Lord Mountbatten was the first Governor-General of independent India. He was sent as Viceroy to India in March to make arrangements for the transfer of Power by June 1948.
Rajoo said it was a great honour to have met the queen. “I felt humbled. It meant a lot to me.” The opportunity is something he can add to his own life story. “It’s one more piece of a puzzle of a beautiful life well lived.”
Michelle Pinon News Advertiser
First thing Rajoo said to the Queen was that he was of Indian origin, but from South Africa. He also told her when he was 11-years-old he stopped singing God Save the Queen, because at that time South Africa became a republic.
As for his overall impression, Rajoo said, “She, (the Queen) turned out to be everything I expected. Very regal. Very queen like. She makes you feel comfortable. You’re not overwhelmed in her presence. Rather you feel so comfortable. She was an extremely kind lady.”

Rajoo said, “What the Queen does when she’s overseas, the first city she lands in she holds a reception for the media. So, I joined my media colleagues and each of us had a few minutes to spend with the Queen. Mine took longer than usual because she was interested in knowing where I’m from. My background.”

I showed up with 400 litres of Jet-A fuel in the tanks, did the one line show which involved a lot of smoke, fire and noise, and left with only about 20 litres left in the car. The math on that equates to me having a really fun time and hoping that everyone enjoyed it. I am grateful to everyone for being so nice and welcoming,” Ryan said.

Legion Hall.
A person to whom every elected official in Canada, every member of Canada’s military and police swears allegiance to when taking office; and to whom every Royal Canadian Legion member pledges to serve at every meeting they attend.
One major difference that people did and will be forth coming in ceremonies in the future was people sang, ‘God Save the King’ and before the luncheon at the end of the ceremony, people raised a toast to the King Charles III.
Her Majesty, like her father, had the Crown thrust on her without much warning or preparation. It is a tribute to her character that she was able to adapt and serve with the excellence she demonstrated over seven decades.
In Queen Elizabeth II we have been fortunate in having a leader that not only understood the responsibilities, and duties, of her office but practiced them with selfless devotion, dedication and wisdom, often at the cost of her personal good.

Margaret Grace Lakusta
In 1975, he met his future wife Ruth Scott from England who was visiting relatives in Lethbridge, and they were married the following year. They were together for 46 happy and blessed years. More than anything else on this earth, he loved his children and grandchildren. He took a great interest in his children’s education, and he was delighted when they all found fulfilling career paths. Nothing made him happier than encouraging young people in their studies. Having grandchildren was the crown of a life well lived. Leo, Jackson, and Scarlet were so loved and were so precious to him. Gerald always said he wanted to live to be 100, but that was because he wanted to spend more time with them. Nothing could surpass the love Gerald had for his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He read his many Bibles daily and loved having theological discussions. He was a truly spiritual man, a man of strong and committed

Predeceased by his parents, Nick M. and Sanda; and brother, Mike.
He grew up farming, and his love of the land is reflected in the degrees he took, first at the University of Alberta (BSc Biochemistry) and, afterward, at the University of Saskatchewan (MSc Food Science). It was from his mother, who, after raising nine children and running a farm, gained her RN and then BSc that he got his love of learning. This was not limited to science; he loved books, poetry, and languages. He took Ukrainian at university, but after university he also studied Russian, and several European languages and Chinese. He worked for 44 years at the Lethbridge Research Station (Agriculture Canada), and he always found it a joy to work with students and help them in any way he could to achieve their educational and career goals. He par ticularly enjoyed working with colleagues from other cultures, such as China and India.

One of his passions was music of every kind he loved hymns and Gospel music and enjoyed rock, country and classical. He could play the piano and tenor, alto, and soprano recorders, and he loved to sing. Like most Ukrainians, he enjoyed nothing more than a good wed ding and he could dance a mean polka. He was gentle, educated, and deeply spiritual. His love for his family was immense. We will never forget you, Gerald. You will be in our hearts forever!

Ten members of the Weekenders group ventured out on a day trip to Greenland Garden Centre in Sherwood Park on September 9.
Recent studies of the new Omicron BA 4.6 variant support this conclusion. “By the time that a supposed new winter wave of infections would occur in late November or December, it will likely be BA.4.6, and the new booster will be outdated anyway.” Yet officials say we need to approve the new variant vaccines WITHOUT trials.

It has historically been assumed that effective vaccines will stop people from becoming ill, needing hospitalization and dying. The COVID-19 vaccines did none of these things.
Canada Geese Migration Canada Geese migrate two times a year. In September or October, Canada geese fly south to their non-breeding sites to avoid the cold. They’ll stay in their non-breeding sites all winter. Geese migrate north to their breeding sites in April, May or early June. These geese were spotted just north of Highway 16, approximately 11 kilometres east of Innisfree Sept. 16. (Michelle Pinon/Photo)
Other countries have moved on to better ways of dealing with the pandemic. Why is the Canadian government so blind to these alternatives?
In Israel, in June of 2021, researchers showed that the vaccines lost their effectiveness within a few months. Similar results were reported in the UK in August, which led the UK to stop reporting on the vaccine’s effectiveness. Weekly government evidence in Canada showed similar results. It is now common knowledge that the COVID vaccines have little effectiveness.

tive vaccine is very difficult, if not impossible.
Natural immunity has increased and, not surprisingly, has now reduced the severity of the illness when re-infected. This is a typical outcome and usually is how a pandemic draws to a close, with the virus becoming endemic and of acceptable risk in our daily lives.
David Redman had a distinguished military career before becoming the head of the Alberta Emergency Management Agency in 2004. He led the provincial response to the devastating floods of June 2005 and the team in developing the 2005 Provincial Pandemic Influenza Plan. He retired in 2013.

scientists have openly debated the safety of these vaccines. Even if the vaccines are less risky and potentially more beneficial, no costbenefit analysis of the vaccination protocol has been performed. Unfortunately, Canadians may learn that these vaccines are much more deadly than expected.
Government officials have told us that taking the vaccine has decreased the number of deaths, but there is no evidence for this claim. As a result, it is not clear whether the vaccines are working effectively or if the virus is becoming less deadly. Yet government officials are not investigating this hypothesis, claiming it is all due to the “effective” vaccine.
Yet, in Canada, the Canadian Minister of Health is now planning to administer a new vaccine, which will be tailored specifically to the current Omicron variants, providing no useful remedy to a SARS-CoV-2 virus that mutates into a new Finally,form.leading

The SARS-CoV-2 is, in some sense, similar to the cold virus: it mutates and becomes more contagious but less deadly. This suggests that, over time, severe conditions diminish and vaccines become less necessary.

I believe it to be a tribute not only to our family but to the wave of Ukrainian settlement that has helped shape not only the county and province but the whole country. Descendants of this wave of immigration likely number in the millions.

Even though Pylypow was briefly imprisoned in Ukraine, he did return to Canada in 1893. Iwan and Maria Pylypow’s log home that was built in 1906 currently resides at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village.Tomkow said, “The signage is a way to pay tribute to the vision, perseverance and determination to build a better life and we today are beneficiaries of that.”
It was a fitting tribute to the original families who settled in the Star-Edna area and perfect timing as it coincided with the Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival. Representatives from each of the families shared some of their thoughts with the Vegreville News Advertiser recently.

Lorraine Pullishy-Aas said, “My feeling seeing the road signs was complete happiness and gratefulness to God for allowing this to happen for my Tato & Mamma, (Father and Mother) and my Gedo & Baba, (Grandfather & Grandmother) my children and most of all the Ukrainian’s from worn torn Ukraine.”Shehad purchased one Ukrainian flag and one Canadian flag for the special occasion and was thrilled to gather together with several family members as well as some members of the Ukrainian families they are currently sponsoring.
