According toaBritish media report,Coban, a computer repairman, had27 hard drives containingmore than204,000imagesplus 4,000 videosand a file with 250 namesofhisvictimsand 5,800 namesoftheir friends andfamilymembers. In a2018 appeal, Dutch prosecutors revealed Coban wasalsoin possession of drugs. Todd,whoisnow receivingmoreoffersto speak at cyberbullying andextortionconferences aroundthe worldon behalf of theAmanda Todd Legacy Society,saidshe expects Coban will serve his Canadian sentence in the Netherlands. Shetoldher hometown newspaperthat shewas surprised at howfastthe verdict camedown last Saturday.“I didn’texpect it so quickly.” Todd positionedherselfin thecourtroom galleryto get a clearview of his reaction. During the trial,Cobanoften caught Todd’s eyebefore he pulledoffhisface maskand steppedintothe prisoner’s box, wherehetooknotes on alegalpad andonalaptop withoutinternet connection. ‘IT WASCLEAR’ “Helooked at mewhen hewalked inandI looked at him.He didn’t have that swagger anymorebecause he knewthe jury had deliberatedless than24hours. It wasclear.” Sheadded,“Ineverlet up. He pickedthe wrong girl withthe right Mama Bear Now,he’s beenconvicted ina separatetrialand he gets more jailtime.That will protect all oftheother girls he abused. I’m happy forthe victimsthat they knowhe hastospendextra jailtime andtheydon’t have to worry for2025.”

Port Coquitlam residents willnolonger need to rush home,eatdinnerand cut thegrass before7 p.m. They now have twoextra hours until 9 p.m. to completethose tasksafter city councilofficially reverted its recentlyamended noise bylawthat includedtheeveningcut-off timeforlawn mowersandother power tools. On July29, PoCo Mayor Brad Westintroduced a motionto repealthenew "restrictive" rules, that councillors hadpreviously approved at anearliermeeting, afterhearing several commentsandcomplaints fromthe public. "The realityisthat, for many people who would get off workatmaybe 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., theideaofbeing able to get home in timeto be abletocut yourlawn before 7 p.m. is just not feasible, especially in thesummer months,"said Westduring thespecialcouncilmeeting, notinghe personally has neverheard concerns from local residents about"rogue lawn mowing." "It'slighter outlater. It's hot out, as we allknow,and so peopleare cuttingtheir lawnsalittlebit later." Priortothemeeting, West explainedhewas away for the bylaw'sinitialamendment on July19.The goal ofthepreviouschangewas to give bylawofficersmore toolstoaddressdozensof complaintsthecity receives each year. NOISECALLS Port Coquitlam had145 callsofnoisedisturbances in 2021—144in2020—including66 relatedto residentialandneighbourhood housekeepingactivities. Thecitydefinesproblemnoise ascontinuous noise,which is anynoiseor soundlastinglongerthan three minutes,or occurring continually, sporadically or erratically buttotallingmore thanthreeminutesinany 15-minute period of time. West,in usinghisstatutory authorityfor the bylaw's reconsideration, alsoextended the general noise cut-offtimeto11 p.m. anhourlongerthanthe previouslyamended10 p.m. curfew. "Oneof thegreatpastimesin ourcity ispeople beingableto gather with family andfriendsintheir backyard forabarbecue and socializing,"hesaid. "I thinktheprevious times we had aroundthat worked very well. Yes, there wasasmall numberofcomplaintsaroundnoise... but Ithinktheprevioustime framewas onethat [was] waymore appropriate,one our communitywasused to and, I think, served usquite well." Noisesthat disturb"the quiet, peace,rest,enjoyment, comfort, or convenience of theneighbourhood or ofpersonsinthe vicinity"between11 p.m. and7 a.m. thenextmorning could result ina $5,000fine at minimum. However, thecity statesnoisethat'sdeemed "unreasonable" outsideof those hours may be subject to bylawenforcement.

Parkingshouldn’tbe just forvillageresidents

BELCARRA TheEditor: I’velivedin Tri-Citiesfor thepastsix years.I recently plannedtovisit Jug Island Trail with my littleone-yearold baby and my wife. It hasbeenafamily traditionforme.Thistime, however,Inoticedallthe roadsideparking spacesthat previously were availabletothe publicwho plantousethe trail had beentransformed topermitholderparking spaces,whichareopenonly to Belcarra residents. We couldnotfindany designated spot forthe public. Iwasshocked by the new parking bylaw. It looks pretty biasedandin favourof res identsof Belcarra while ignoring the rightsof residents in Metro Vancouver. Iunderstandthere has beencongestionofcarsin high season, but this does not justify reallocatingallof the streetparkingspacesto Belcarra residents,which, accordingtostatistics, has not changedinpopulation foradecade,andmeans streetparkingisnot needed for residents. Idon’tunderstandwhat justificationsthe authorities have madetobanthe public fromstayinginthat area. The regionof Belcarra is benefittingfrom all the amenities made mainlyto high-densityareassuchas Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam,including shopping centres, health care andessential services suchaswatertreatment plants, publictransitas well as commercialspaces. Alloftheseare possible because of high-density areas. In return,the Villageof Belcarrais banning people fromusingthestreetsthat gointo theirneighbourhood because fora few weekends over summercongestionin theirarea? Andontopofthat, I noticedthe village hasdedicatedenforcementofficers runningbackandforthon a fewblocks on weekendsto ticket cars within a fewminutes of parking. Witha$100ticket, the villageis using theparking bylawasamoney-making service. Basically,the authorities foundawaytocharge the peopleof mainlyTri-Cities fortheirvisit. They simply make theirentire municipalityano-parking zoneforthe public. By limitingtheaccessof families tothis parkinfavour oflocal residents,there would be aquestion of how tospend publicmoneyon infrastructurethat benefits everyone equally. Moh Rafati Tri-Cities

Justice- Release of Pfizer Documents,” whichdiscussedthe“release orpossible releaseof hundredsof thousandsofpages relating tothedevelopmentofthe Pfizer vaccine.” However, the judgesaid it lacked citations for verificationandthe authorwasnot named. Judge Leesaid theparents were “good parents,” but he was required to consider the “best interests”ofthechildren while taking a number of factors intoconsideration, includingprevious case law andCOVID-19 risks. “The case lawisclear that the court can take judicial notice ofcertainfacts,” stated Lee, who cited several cases that have beendealt with in courtsacross Canada, includinganAlberta case whereafatheralsowanted totakea“waitand see”approach.

While pointing outthat neither A.T. nor C.H. provided “expert” evidencethat meets B.C. familylawstandards, Lee saidhis decision doesnot requirea reviewof evidence but couldinstead be madebased on“judicial noticeof variousfacts, without havingtoprovethem.” Amongthefactshenoted wasthepandemicand restrictions, health risksof COVID-19 toboth adults andchildren,and thefact that the“thePfizerCOVID19 vaccinationissafeand effectiveforuse inbothchildrenandadults.” As well,hesaidthelack of a universal mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirementdoesnotmean the vaccines areunsafe. Judge Leesaid C.H.failed toprovideadequate rebuttal, andsaida“waitand see”approachwas “not in the best interestsofachild,especially when weighed against the risksof COVID-19itself.” He gave A.T. “parenting responsibilityand authorizationto obtainforthe children theCOVID-19 vaccination, includingtwodoses anda boosterifandwhen recommended, withoutthe consent of C.H.”
