Page Six Lunch Time There’s a famous quote, which is somewhat dubiously attributed to Ben Franklin, that goes: “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.” Despite who said it, the point is that a democratic society is prone to the potential tyranny of the majority. If you’re in with the wolves, you’re good. If you’re one of the lambs, you’re toast (or at least an appetizer). It’s an interesting argument and a good one in many ways. But it fails on many other levels. It assumes that those in the majority are powerhungry at all costs, even if it means their own demise. It assumes that ‘wolves’ can never be held accountable for their actions. It also assumes that the ‘lambs’ will never be in power and/or that they could never be corrupt. It assumes, the worst. Far be it for me to argue with an American Founding Father - but I prefer to assume the best. Thanks to democracy, tyranny doesn’t get a chance to rule for very long. That’s why we have scheduled elections. And under a democratic and free society, we the ‘sheeple’ will always have something to say. For a democracy to truly work, elected leaders must take into account the interests of everyone involved. As such, I prefer the more modern and somewhat altered turn of phrase that says: “Democracy has to be more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.” It’s a true statesman that strives to unite both sides and never seeks to divide the values, rights and freedoms of those they govern. Left or right, we need both wings to fly. Here in Canada, I have the privilege of living a safe and lovely life. Sure, I have my complaints - but my grievances are small overall. Our human rights are protected. Our health care is sacrosanct. Compared to most other countries, we are incredibly lucky. I resent those trying to spread fear, extremism or divisiveness. To create conflict, especially for political gain, is selfish and unwarranted. However, it only takes an image of a woman living in Taliban ruled Afghanistan to show us that democracy is fragile. One need only look at the treatment of seniors during Covid to realize how quickly we can be forgotten. And when I think about the ‘Two Michaels’, locked up in China since December 2018, I’m reminded how easily our voices can be silenced by those who lord over us - and how easily we can be left behind. Lord Acton said: ‘Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ Make no mistake about it - this surprise federal election is about grabbing more power. Much like our recent BC provincial election, it was called ahead of schedule in the hopes of catching people off guard. But doling out power is still ultimately up to us, the voters - so reward your vote carefully.

There’s a term we use in the media called the ‘low-info voter’. It’s also known as the ‘misinformed voter’. It describes someone who votes, but generally isn’t well-versed on the issues or candidates. Today, it can mean someone driven by headlines, tweets, rumours and pretty pictures. It has actually become a targeted demographic for elections - and is one of the big reasons social media platforms are being watched so carefully. Manipulated media, fake videos, peacocking and out-of-context quotes are the most significant threats. Watch out for this - because no one likes a wolf in sheep’s clothing. To those of you voting in the upcoming election, I implore you to learn about the real issues. Be open-minded. Don’t spread hate about something or someone. Know the reasons ‘why’. Check your facts. Learn about your country and how it works. Do you care about transfer payments? What about Quebec language laws? Do you know why Alberta seemingly doesn’t pay sales tax? How much debt are we leaving to our children? Look it up - it’s your money they’re spending. I know you may just be tuning in now for the playoffs, but check out a little of what went on during the regular season. You’ll be surprised. To those of you running in the upcoming election, thank you. You’re sticking your neck out to defend our Canadian values. That takes guts, especially these days where debate gets twisted into hate, namecalling and rhetoric (thanks, social media). I may vote for you, I may not - but either way, you have my respect. If you are elected, I hope you take your role seriously and hold your leader responsible for all the promises you are making, and all the chances you are taking. Your true character will be revealed not only in how you bask in your win, but in how compassionately you reach out to those who lost. Some days it’s hard to know who’s who in the zoo. Many of us vote with our hearts - and that’s okay too. But for those who are hungry for change, this is the time to come to the table. This is the one opportunity you get to tell those in power that you approve, or disapprove, of what’s on the menu. Just remember, it’s a jungle out there. I believe in democracy. I believe in free speech. And I believe in the power to empower all people, equally. Never take for granted the liberty you have been given. People have sacrificed their lives for it - and many more around the world are willing to risk their lives to get it. Agree to disagree, if need be - but know there is no appetite for hate. Divisiveness is the weapon that destroys us. In darkness, we fall. Because whether you howl with the wolves, or seek to un-silence the lambs, we must find a way to live in harmony - or die trying. - Catherine Barr cbarr@westvancouver.com

Madison Mailey Bringing Home the Gold S

he’s a successful athlete, singer and business graduate with a natural beauty and strength that sparkles, both inside and out. Madison Mailey is a Women’s Eight rowing champion and a gold medal Olympian that knows what it takes to be part of a winning team. Hear how she is conquering the world, and stealing hearts, one ‘bow’ at a time.

Catherine: Welcome everyone to the WestVancouver Magazine podcast. We are so excited to welcome the magnificent Madison Mailey. She is from West Vancouver/ Lions Bay, and she is a rowing champion who now sports a gold medal from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in the Women’s Eight. Madison, tell us how it all started? Madison: In grade eight, I was choosing what sport to do, and I had signed up for the volleyball team. But when I came home, my mom encouraged me to do an outdoor sport. And my brother had just tried rowing the year before. And so they said, why not do the same thing as Brook? And so I went out there, and I pretty much instantly fell in love with the sport. I thought it was very fun. I love the idea of being with my friends, and I had so many laughs. That’s kind of how it started. And then I went to university in Boston. So that’s how I got my first taste of highperformance rowing. And now it’s the national team. So it’s been a journey. Catherine: I want to point out here that Tokyo 2020 is not your first gold medal. You’ve got a 2017 and 2018 gold medal from the U23 World Rowing Championships. You have a silver medal from the World Rowing Championships, all in the Women’s Eight, so you’re kind of used to the podium, aren’t you? Madison: I have had success on the world stage for sure. I’ve been surrounded by incredible teammates, and really good coaches. And yeah, I feel very thankful for the experiences I’ve had so far. We’ve had some success in the Canadian Women’s Eights and Fours. So it’s been a fun program to be a part of. Photo Credits: Daniel P Bloch

Catherine: Tell us what it was like travelling to Tokyo and being part of the Olympic experience?

Catherine: What was it like during a ‘Covid’ Olympics. What were some of the restrictions they had?

Madison: We spent months in Japan [training]. We first flew to a city called Sagamihara - and we trained there before moving into the Olympic village. And the people were amazing. They were so kind, so generous, so polite. That was a big highlight for all of us - how welcoming they were. Then we had some really good times on the water. Lots of hard kilometres - then we started to taper a little bit (which is when you kind of back off training a little bit to get ready for competition). Then you move into the village. That was obviously a big highlight for everyone.

Madison: I definitely enjoyed the experience. But there were lots of things that we had to do to stay safe and to just ensure we could compete. I think that was the biggest part. They wanted to make sure we could all compete and do what we had worked so hard to do. So I’m glad that we had all these protocols. But we had to do a spit Covid test every day we were in Japan. We had to stay within our crews. So within our larger team, we had to wear masks around everyone and not go into small

Catherine: Your Canadian teammate (and rumour has it you’re also a pretty cute couple) is Maxwell Latimer - who is also a rower, and your boyfriend. He is a two time Olympian (Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020). So he’s got the lay of the land. But we were speaking to him during your photoshoot recently, and he said he couldn’t even go down to watch and cheer for [your] race - even though he was less than five minutes from the venue.

Madison: Yeah, it was very odd. Rowing isn’t a huge spectator sport. So it’s not like we’re in a stadium and we’re surrounded. So honestly, most of the racing felt quite normal - just hearing the other coxswains and not having anyone [cheering] in the last 500 metres wasn’t super odd. But You know, when you’re an athlete, normally, we have our teammates there. you really look forward to meeting And normally, if we win a medal, or if other athletes and figuring out what we qualify, or if we have an exciting or the Olympic Village is like. Seeing bad race - our teammates are all there the Olympic rings everywhere was to support us. So it was really sad not crazy and just a dream come true. I having any of them in the grandstands. really enjoyed that - moving in with So yeah, Max watched me on Olympic all my teammates. We had worked so television in Tokyo in the village. So it hard - and were just dreaming of these was very, very odd. But I got a really moments. Then being on a team. I nice FaceTime [call]. He and all the couldn’t have done anything without other people on my greater team were the eight other people in my boat just over the moon for us. So I felt so (on an Eight’s team, there’s eight Gold medallist Madison Mailey with boyfriend Maxwell Latimer. The two Olympic teammates are both rowing champions and cheered for much love and support from them - and rowers, plus a coxswain). None of each other, from a safe distance, at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. my wonderful family in Lions Bay. It us, especially through Covid, and not Covid restrictions meant no spectators were allowed in the stands. was just so emotional Facetiming - just competing for two years prior, feel seeing their raw emotion and how excited rooms and try to stay distanced from people like we could have done it without each they were. Very moving. in different boats. And then when we were in other. So it was a very big team effort. the village, we couldn’t like ride around in Catherine: When we took you down to Catherine: You’re part of a team when the autonomous Tokyo cars. the beach to do your photoshoot, it was you row, but you’re also a part of a bigger so much fun watching everyone come up We tried to just stay very separated from team, meaning Team Canada. What was to you and congratulate you on your gold other countries. We had to leave [Tokyo] Team Canada’s reception like in Tokyo? medal. People were so excited to see you 24 hours after our race - it was very odd. Madison: That’s one of my favourite things and talk to you. You’re a celebrity now. Normally most athletes get to stay. We’re about competing for Canada - is just wearing What does that feel like? Was all the hard a ‘first-week’ sport. So most athletes get to the Maple Leaf and how much that means work worth it? stay for the whole second week and go to to every single Canadian competing for different events, meet people and have fun Madison: I think it felt validating. I our country. I think we all try to represent - you know, live the Olympic experience. definitely knew how good our boat was. I our country in a way that’s fierce. We are And I think that got robbed from us. But at really trusted [my team]. And I really felt very strong on the world stage. But we the end of the day, we got the opportunity like we had eight people moving as one also respect our competition. And we are to race and do what we love to do. And that and we’re all bringing our own strengths. polite. Yes. So I think we have got a good honestly just meant everything to me. So one of my favourite sayings is like, ‘you reputation. And hopefully we wore that leaf don’t get harmony unless you’re singing proudly and represented Canada. (continued on next page)

different notes’. And that was our boat. Like everyone brought something different. It was power, energy, quickness, humour. Everyone obviously knew how to roll and had the basics, but everyone brought something a bit special. Our goal wasn’t to be an Olympic champion or to win a gold medal. It was to ‘go as fast as humanly possible’ - and to redeﬁne excellence. That was kind of our mantra, and I think we did that. I’m just so proud to have worked that hard and to have it pay off. Because I know a lot of other people worked super hard to be there as well and didn’t come home with a gold medal. I just respect everyone so much, but it feels incredible to be an Olympian. I feel like I’m in a very elite group of people that I think brings a great reputation to the name Olympian and likes to inspire. If I could get one or two kids to pick up an oar and try the sport and meet friends and travel the world and become better people - then that makes it worth it for me.

Madison: I’m not sure 100%. It’s been a dream of mine to work with my dad [in ﬁnance] since I graduated from college. And so I’ve taken my Canadian Securities courses, and that’d be the path I’d like to go post rowing. But it is hard to not think about continuing rowing. I obviously love it. And I especially learned, throughout Covid, just how much I love being active and being on the water. And so it’s going to be very sad to step away from the sport, but we’ll just have to see how things go, of course. Catherine: Tell us some of your favourite things. What are your hobbies? What music do you like? Tell us some secrets?

Catherine: What do you do to prepare for a race? What do you eat? What are your routines? Madison: We deﬁnitely work with nutritionists. They make sure all our vitamins and minerals are correct. They ensure that we’re eating enough calories because we burn a lot of calories. Most [of us] eat around 4,000-5,000 calories, and the men are like 10,000 calories a day. So people are eating a lot of food to keep up with the training. We also take betaalanine (a natural amino acid). We also take caffeine supplements. And when we’re racing, we take bicarbonate, which is kind of like baking soda - and it just helps the block lactic acid production, that burning in the muscles. So they have to educate us when we’re taking it all. And it’s all obviously legal and allowed. We’re very careful of supplements, so they’re not crosscontaminated or anything that’s banned. They drug test [us] often. Catherine: The next summer Olympics are in Paris in 2024. Are you possibly thinking about going back to compete again?

looking for the track’ or ‘is she supposed to be here’ (laughs). But I had a concert when I graduated Northeastern, and I invited like 50 people - and my [rowing] team ended up coming. My voice teacher was like, Oh, my gosh, and all these athletic women walked into my concert, and all their jaws were on the floor just seeing me sing in German and Italian and French. It was a different side of Madison. I think it adds to me as an athlete because I can take it down a notch and make it calm. I love that. I think mental composure is super big in sport. And being able to compose yourself is really important. So that’s kind of my music story. I love listening to upbeat music and happy music. I listen to anything and everything. As long as it’s got some sort of beat. And then I guess another favourite - like most rowers, I do love to eat. Which is a good thing. We have to eat a lot of calories when training, for sure. But yeah, I love candy, dessert - I love steak, potatoes, anything. Max, my boyfriend, is actually just an incredible cook. He makes fresh sourdough. He’s really good at it. So he loves to cook, and then I’ll often ‘sous chef’ for him (laughs). We make some delicious food. So we may go to bed at like 8pm, but we do have a good time. We definitely work hard and then eat good food. Catherine: Where do you see yourself in about five years?

Madison Mailey, brings home the gold with her team in the Women’s Eight in Tokyo 2020

Madison: I have always loved to sing. If you ask all my teammates, their ﬁrst memories are like me singing to myself walking down the street. I love music. My grandfather is a concert pianist, and he accompanied me through many voice vocal competitions. And I actually ended up studying music at Northeastern University with the New England Conservatory. I did a certiﬁcate program in performance studies with a focus on classical voice. So it was super funny me being this six-foot-tall blonde athlete and being surrounded by all these incredible musicians. They look at me like, ‘is she

Madison: I think I’ll be living in Vancouver or on the North Shore somewhere. And hopefully, you’ll see me up hiking or mountain biking and living a very active life. I hope to share my rowing story. I have lots of stories of resilience and teamwork being able to get up when things are going wrong. And these past two years, things have gone wrong for a lot of people. And a lot of things went wrong for me as well. But I ended up being successful. And I think that there were key things that allowed us to be successful. So I hope to share that story. - Catherine Barr Listen to the full podcast at WestVancouver.com

‘Jas’

He’s a familiar face in more than one place. Award-winning reporter turned politician Jas Johal is back on the air on CKNW talk radio (980 AM). Hear his stories about how he grew into the role and what he has planned for his new show. From Afghanistan, India and China, to the ‘Afternoon Drive’, this learned and experienced world-traveller can do it all. Jas Johal has been a reporter with Global TV, a provincial MLA, and a communications consultant. You can hear “The Jas Johal Show” on CKNW from 3-6 pm daily.

How did you go from being a reporter to politics and back again? It’s incredibly exciting. I’m a little nervous, just in the sense that it is such a wonderful station - a heritage station. Thirty years ago this year, I actually started at CKNW as an assistant producer on the Bill Good Show. So in many ways, it’s a case for me to come back home. I was at Global TV for 20 years, and I just felt I needed to do something different. So I moved on to corporate communications, at that point working with the BC LNG Alliance. You know, at the core of it, I’ve always believed in public service as well. And so when the opportunity came soon after to run for the BC Liberals - I just felt in my gut, it was the right thing to do. And I’m glad I did it.

“I know what I know. But I also know what I don’t know - and that means listening. I fundamentally believe in the wisdom of everyday people. And I think there’s lots my own listeners will teach me as well. ”

How does tech weigh into reporting methods these days with things like Facebook, Twitter and social media? We have a debate going on. You’re entitled to your opinion - you’re not entitled to your own facts. And that’s the challenge we have. ‘Let me ﬁnd the opinions that I like’. It doesn’t work that way. And so Facebook and social media have really impacted the public discourse, not for the positive. And that’s a challenge for mainstream media.

What topics are you going to be covering? I look at the world, and I think we’re going through a generational reset. And what I mean by that is that if you look at the late 60s and 70s, you saw a Baby Boomer generation coming of age [during] the civil rights movement. You had the Vietnam War. You had the FLQ crisis here in Canada. You had the oil embargo. It was a new generation of a mindset that was breaking away from a previous generation. Today, I think to a certain degree, you can always look to the past to deﬁne the future. I do believe that today you’re seeing a millennial generation, as a big swath of the population, that is coming of age politically. Now, that doesn’t mean their values are any different from Baby Boomers, but I think they are challenging the status quo. Add to that technical disruption that is before us. Add to that the rise of Asia. Add on top of that the bigger existential challenge before us, which is climate change. All those issues are sort of percolating - and each day, those topics pop up in regards to different stories that we see. But I fundamentally believe we’re in the midst of that broader generational reset.

Your new app is called ‘mPloy’ - how did the idea get started? It really started on the tennis court at Hollyburn Country Club. We’re a group of tennis friends with experience in the industry - and we basically tried to figure out how to bring a solution that’s implemented in some of the major European cities to provide staffing on a shift basis to the local restaurant industry. And what we discovered, after about probably three or four months (and a significant amount of software development work), is that the wedge between hiring and contracting services just isn’t that great here as it is, for example, in Paris or Germany. The mPloy app has two sides really - one for employers looking to hire people - and one for users or someone looking for a job. How does it work? About 80 to 90% of our business will be in providing clients with really qualified staff and have basically a full ‘menu’ of information that gives our clients the ability to understand who they’re interviewing before they make a decision to bring somebody in. What we’re trying to do is really short circuit the process so that the first 70% of the recruiting process, which involves perhaps going and picking up an application or bringing back a completed resume having it sitting on a desk for two weeks.

Screenshots of the mPloy app in action. Employment opportunities (left) for workers, and resume details (right) for managers looking to hire.

<(cont.) And for the employer - bringing in candidates that they know very little about. So what employers view is they see a person on video so they can analyze what they are like. There’s a lot of information provided. Are they legal in Canada to work? Are they of age to serve alcohol? What are their certiﬁcations? We do a screening (and provide a video), and we deliver a shortlist of applicants. And what we’re ﬁnding now is we’re getting a hiring rate of about 35 to 40% of people on our shortlist.

You can download the app on either iOS or Android. And we will have a full parallel web-based interface soon, so you can also work through the web. You sign on, and you fill out your profile - which is just basically where I live, what my interests are, how I get around town, what my work experience is, etc. Our data is incredibly secure. It is only provided to the hiring managers and only the hiring managers of the companies to which workers apply. After you fill out your profile, you have the option of recording a 30-40 second video (or video showcase as we call it ) which is just an opportunity to introduce yourself. Tell us what you would like to do in the industry, what your interests are and just to reveal your personality. What if you’re trying to hire people? Can small restaurant owners use this app as well as big corporate groups? Yes. Today we placed somebody at a little local Italian restaurant - an awesome place in North Vancouver. But we also have one restaurant that hires 400 people a year. We concentrate primarily on what we call a casual to upper casual space. But our platform is really open to almost every type of what I would say is casual and up.

WHERE IMAGINATION MEETS SKILL

FACTS

01 EAST WEST CONNECTION Avi Lewis is the newest candidate in the West Vancouver, Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky Country riding. He’s descended from Eastern Canadian NDP royalty and is trying to become a thirdgeneration politician. Grandfather David Lewis was the second leader of the federal NDP from 1971-1975. Father Stephen Lewis led the Ontario NDP for eight years and became a United Nations diplomat and a crusader against AIDS. Broadcaster/filmmaker Avi Lewis and wife Naomi Klein are based in Halfmoon Bay for this underdog attempt.

02 MAJOR OR MINOR International lawyer and Conservative MP John Weston served in office in West Vancouver, Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky Country from 2008-2015. He was defeated in 2015 by Liberal candidate and former West Vancouver Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones. She did not run for re-election in 2019, instead passing the torch to environmental lawyer and political newcomer Patrick Weiler. Now, Weston is back on the ballot as these two legal eagles look to rule the nest. Both men speak French (Weston also speaks Mandarin) - and both want to hand their party a win. But with a majority/minority battle on the line, the plot thickens. Back in 2008, the Conservatives were the ones calling an early federal election in a bid to boost their minority status. It’s a calculated move the current 2021 Liberal minority government is gambling on today. It’s also a tactic that BC’s minority NDP used last year during Covid-19 to put John Horgan solidly back in power. Now, the major question is, will this ploy from the pandemic playbook work again, or not?

Election Fever The North Shore isn’t a political battleground that decides the winner or loser of federal elections. But it never lacks character. Here’s a few fun facts of note as we get ready to vote on Monday September 20, 2021.

Early Election Calls 1996 - 2021

(Elections called at least 1 year before the set date)

0 New Zealand 1 Ireland (proportional)

1 Germany

(proportional)

4 Canada

(ﬁrst-past-post)

In 2019, the Trudeau Liberals got 157 of the 338 available seats (46.4%), despite only getting 33.1% of the vote. Under pure ‘proportional’ voting, this seat count would drop to 112 seats, and the Conservatives (at 34.4%), would have formed the minority government. Electoral reform was a 2015 Liberal campaign promise, but was abandoned in 2017.

03 VACANT LOT The last time a ‘Trudeau’ was hoping to parlay a minority government into a majority was 1974, and Pierre Trudeau was the Prime Minister. The David Lewis led NDP (see previous) were propping up the Liberals until the budget sparked a no-confidence vote and subsequent summer election. Back then, Capilano Liberal MP Jack Davis was Canada’s first environment minister. To boost Davis’ chances, Pierre Trudeau took out a longterm lease on swampy waterfront land on the Capilano Indian Reserve 5 (beside the Lions Gate Bridge) for the Pacific Environment Centre and a Coast Guard Base. Davis however, lost his seat to Progressive Conservative Ron Huntington in that election. As a result, the centre was never built - but, the lease goes on. Over its first 35 years, records show the feds have paid $124 million to the Squamish Nation (according to the band’s 2019 lawsuit against Environment Canada).

- By Bob Mackin | bob@thebreaker.news

04 CAMERA READY Yes - that was Justin Trudeau in front of the camera on July 8th 2021, at the Deep Cove waterfront. During a pre-election trip (for rapid transit and daycare funding announcements), Trudeau took a detour to North Vancouver to shoot footage for a campaign ad. Back in 2015 and 2019, Trudeau also came to North Vancouver to take a trip up the Grouse Grind to film some regional ads. This time, however, The District of North Vancouver has confirmed that neither the Liberal Party nor the Prime Minister’s Office obtained a film shoot permit. Usually, Deep Cove is officially off-limits to film productions between Victoria Day and Labour Day.

05 RHINO’S CHARGE The BC Mills House Museum at Lynn Headwaters Regional Park in North Vancouver was once home to the legendary Richard “The Troll” Schaller of the satirical Rhinoceros Party. Schaller lived in the 1908-built house at its original 147 East 1st location (prior to it being moved and converted to a museum). Schaller, who died of cancer in 2006 at age 63, ran four times in North Vancouver between 1979 and 1988 for the party that promised to keep none of its promises. The Rhinos’ platform planks included tearing down the Rocky Mountains so Albertans could see the Pacific sunset and providing higher education by building taller schools. A newer reiteration of the Rhino party (re-established in 2006) continues to this day. Gordon Jeffrey was the party’s only BC candidate in 2019 running in, you guessed it, West Vancouver, Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky Country. His campaign slogan: “Make Canada Horny Again!”
