Here’s a photo of Jimmy Pattison eating a Quarter Pounder in the 1980s

I

f you’ve been reading our paper regularly this month one thing has likely become apparent to you; since our first edition three weeks ago, most of our stories have been related to COVID-19.

Job number one for us right now is to keep you informed about the pandemic that has gripped our city and our society as a whole.

However I figured I’d open this week with something that might provide just a little bit of levity before you dive in.

This mystifying photo of B.C. billionaire Jimmy Pattison eating a Quarter Pounder in the 1980s.

I came across it a few months ago while reading a book about EXPO 86 that was co-edited by Eleanor Wachtel of CBC’s Writers and Company. There was no photo credit for it, and I absolutely needed to know where and when it was shot, and why the heck he was holding his burger upside down as he ate it.

I reached out to Eleanor and she told me she had no idea who shot it, and assured me that these days she’s much more stringent when it comes to crediting people for their work. She also mentioned that Russell Kelly, the man who wrote the unauthorized biography, “Pattison,” might

have included it in his book and that there might be some answers for me there.

Russell died in 1997, so I wasn’t able to ask him. However I did track down a copy of his book and confirmed that it does not contain this photo, nor the name of the photographer, nor the date and venue where it was shot.

The book talks a lot about the early days of Pattison building up his privately-held empire, but it doesn’t offer a lick of insight as to why the man would choose to eat a burger while holding it upside down.

If you happen to know who shot this image, please let me know via email or phone so that I can a) ask them many questions and b) pay them for running it in our newspaper some 35 years later.

Now, on to the important stuff.

THURS DAY, APRIL 23, 2020 VANCOU VER IS AW E SOME

VAN C O UV E RI SAWESOM E.CO M

So which politician flushed their toilet during a Vancouver virtual council meeting?

L

et me first state that my intention here is not to trivialize the work of a Vancouver city council doing its best to keep the business of municipal government operating during a pandemic.

The mayor eventually did come back, but it required him to leave his apartment and get to city hall as fast as he could to run the meeting from the chamber.

The 15,000 businesses that have temporarily closed, the city bleeding up to $5 million per week and the health of citizens weigh heavily on these elected folks.

Meanwhile, listeners could hear staff working through the audio glitches — “test, test, test” — and ensuring councillors were still on the line.

But we could all use some levity.

And we certainly got some at council’s fourth virtual meeting held April 14 via an audio system that had the mayor and 10 councillors dialled in for debate and discussion.

City manager Sadhu Johnston was also on the line.

That 9:30 a.m. start turned into a 10:45 a.m. start.

They were!

Then we heard the mayor’s voice — he made it!

At that moment, all seemed technologically right in the municipal government world of Vancouver: the meeting was going to resume, journalists were going to take notes and

democracy was going to prevail, despite these restrictive and extraordinary times.

what they and everyone else listening just heard.

And then, in an unprecedented event that will likely haunt the host of said memorable event for years, listeners heard the distinct sound of a toilet flushing.

“We’re being broadcast right now, folks, so um try to use your…I don’t know…this a whole new territory for all of us, clearly.”

It happened during roll call, just before Johnston asked councillors to mute their phones. Laughter was audible on the feed.

It would be the first meeting where Kennedy Stewart didn’t have to physically be in the council chamber, but could operate the controls from his downtown apartment.

Such advice came a little late, as the mayor noted in the afternoon session of the meeting when he informed council “our little incident” made the national news.

Mayor: “Yes.” Johnston: “Worthy of a movie.”

The flusher, meanwhile, never confessed publicly, although if people are looking for clues, the sound of that flush was quite powerful and not likely from a low-flush toilet.

But what began with such promise, quickly changed course to “we are experiencing technical difficulties” territory, as listeners heard a few minutes into the broadcast.

And with that, I will now return to the more serious pandemic-influenced matters facing the city and its citizens, as I’ve been doing since mid-March.

Coun. Lisa Dominato: “I think we have lost the mayor in the feed here.”

First, I’m going to put my phone down and take a bio-break.

Vancouver city council held its fourth virtual meeting April 14.

Johnston: “Kennedy, are you back?”

Rather than repeat them here, probably best for the flusher and others participating in virtual meetings to heed the excellent advice of tweeter Hosea Cheung: Stay home, stay safe, stay muted…please.

Johnston: “You mean the ‘water feature?’”

Only the acting-city clerk and a meeting coordinator were to be present at city hall, all of this done to respect physical distancing measures.

Acting-city clerk Rosemary Hagiwara: “We’re going to bring the mayor back shortly.”

You can imagine what they said.

So was a remark from Coun. Jean Swanson, who concluded that “someone was doing council business on the toilet.”

Which prompted Johnston to quickly interject before anyone else commented on

Of course, I tweeted this out, which served no real purpose except to have a laugh at the flusher’s expense and attract the punsters.

B.C.’s bat people distance creature from COVID-19 source

Our sore is open!

Fill your garden with colour

With bats still being linked to the outbreak of CoVID-19 in China, a local program decided to use International Bat Appreciation Day (April 17th) to dispel “misinformation.”

The BC Community Bat Program is reminding people about the importance of bats and that the spring is a perfect time to admire bats in your backyard, as midApril is often when bats emerge from their long winter sleep.

There have been several unverified links between bats and the source of the pandemic late last year, so the bat program here in B.C. said it is keen to “share current, accurate information… and issues around bat and human health.”

“Our program strives to educate people about bats and dispel misinformation that may lead to persecution of bats,” said the organization in a press release.

Their main goal is to remind people that “Bats in B.C. do not have or spread SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans). SARSCoV-2 is not found in North American bat species at present,” but that people should still avoid handling bats.

The program is available to answer your questions and collect reports on bat sightings, bat roosts, and dead bats. Contact them at Vancouver@bcbats.ca or 1-855-922-2287 ext. 11.

translink announces layoffs, route cancellations, and service reductions as ‘cost-saving measures’

p

ublic transit is being scaled back radically in Metro Vancouver due to COVID-19, and a number of people out of work for the time being, as TransLink has announced a series of cost-cutting measures that includes layoffs and schedule changes.

 Beginning in early May, we expect another 47 routes will be suspended, and frequency reduced on many remaining routes.

A TransLink employee sprays a bus with disinfectant.

PhoTo TrAnsLink

 Expected route suspensions: 251, 252, 262, 280, 281, 282, 370, 563, 564, 044, 170, 181, 182, 231, 241, 247, 258, 345, 352, 354, 391, 393, 394, 395, 416, 509, 602, 603, 604, 606, 608, 614, 616, 617, 618, 619, 719, 722, 733, 741, 744, 748, 749, 791, 042, 150, 179. Precise timing for these suspensions and reductions will be released in due course.

Ridership is down 83% across the transit service, and TransLink says they are losing an estimated $75 million per month as the COVID-19 crisis continues.

“This rate of financial loss is not sustainable,” says TransLink in a media release which outlined the measures which include temporary layoffs to 1,492 employees, reduced executive salaries, deferral of 2020 service expansions and more.

Currently, TransLink is focused on offering safe transportation for those who cannot use an alternate method of travel within the region, and in particular frontline workers in a number of fields. They continue to ask that use be restricted to essential trips only, and that passengers participate in physical distancing.

Service reductions will affect all modes of transit on TransLink: SkyTrain, bus, SeaBus, and West Coast Express, and will be implemented this week.

 These capacity reductions are in addition to a 17% reduction during peak hours and a 20% reduction on Friday and Saturday evenings, which were implemented last month.  Millennium Line capacity will be reduced by 15% during peak hours. During middays, early evenings, and weekends, capacity will be reduced by 20% to 40%, depending on the time of day.  These capacity reductions are in addition to a 17% reduction during peak hours and a 20% reduction on Friday and Saturday evenings, which were implemented last month.

Here are specifics by mode for all TransLink service reductions:

 Canada Line capacity has been reduced by 18% during peak hours.

skytrain

bus

 TransLink is prioritizing service to routes serving hospitals and other health facilities. Routes selected for suspension either duplicate other routes or are in low ridership areas. The number of people TransLink can move on buses was reduced to around 30% of normal levels due to physical distancing measures. Once all planned service reductions are implemented, the number of people TransLink can move will decrease further, to around 20% of normal levels.

seabus  Beginning Wednesday (April 22), SeaBus will end service earlier. The last SeaBus sailing of the day will happen at 7:30 p.m. from Lonsdale Quay and 7:45 p.m. from Waterfront. SeaBus will continue sailings every 30-minutes.

West Coast express

 Beginning April 22, Expo and Millennium Line capacity will be further reduced.

 Beginning Friday (April 24), 18 bus routes will be suspended.

 Expo Line capacity will be reduced by 20% during peak hours. During middays, early evenings, and weekends, capacity will be reduced by 20% to 40%, depending on the time of day.

 Suspended routes: 15, 32, 50, 68, 105, 131, 132, 143, 222, 480, 414, R3. Most of these routes have other transit as alternatives

 Beginning Wednesday (April 22), West Coast Express trains One, Three, and Five will continue to operate on existing schedules but will have fewer cars. Trains Two and Four remain suspended.

 Suspended NightBus routes: N8, N15, N17, N22, N24, N35.

Mission is now home to the largest outbreak of COVID-19 in any correctional facility in Canada, with 70 cases at the time of writing.

Of those, 60 cases are among the inmates while another ten are from the Corrections officers themselves.

Mission is now home to the largest outbreak of COVID-19 in any correctional facility in Canada...

The timeline in Mission is grim.

Messaging about monitoring inmates for COVID-19 symptoms did not officially begin in the prison until March 25, 2020. Inmates continued to work in the kitchen until April 1, 2020, and physical distancing was not required in common areas until April 2, 2020.

Meanwhile, corrections officers were not given a proper supply of PPE until April 8, 2020.

Amidst all of this, there were loud cries from the criminal defence bar,

the Canadian Bar Association, and prisoners’ advocacy groups to release non-violent offenders.

The CBA sent their request before Mission Institution even began monitoring prisoners.

But these requests fell on deaf ears.

Even the courts acted — and continue to act — slowly, in the face of this obvious breeding ground for bacteria.

Crown Counsel in bail hearings routinely argue that to release a person on bail, as opposed to detaining them in jail would present greater risk of catching COVID-19. They rely on the fact that although COVID-19 is present in the federal institutions, there are currently no recorded cases of it in pre-trial centres. And judges are accepting these arguments.

This is an illusion of safety.

But the reality of how COVID-19 is being addressed in prisons appears lost on most people.

Inmates are being denied showers for days, only fed twice a day, and placed in isolation cells.

For those who test positive or show symptoms, the self-isolation is akin to solitary confinement.

And that practice was ruled unconstitutional last year. Those in isolation have no access to cleaning supplies, soap, hot water, or any entertainment. It is a recipe for a mental health deterioration.

Those who test positive, or those who show symptoms are not being given the medical care and attention and comfort they need to get well. They are being given the most inhumane treatment our justice system knows.

And now some of them are dying.

Our system is not perfect. And its imperfection is a mirror of its humanity, because humans are imperfect.

But, imperfect though we are, humans are creatures with precious lives. All of them. And that includes people in prison.

It’s time we start remembering that.

The Dr. Henry: Vancouver designer John Fluevog creates shoe to honour B.C.’s top doctor Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, has emerged in the CoViD-19 crisis as a calm voice of reason… but also as the wearer of some pretty eye-catching shoes.

A fan of Vancouver-based acclaimed footwear designer John Fluevog, Dr. Henry’s fans have taken notice of her stylish and eclectic footwear she has sported in each of her over 50 public briefings on the province’s COVID-19 response.

The Dr. Henry will be available for pre-sale at a retail price of $339 later this month.

Recently, a movement was ass afoot to get Fluevog to create a shoe named for Dr. Henry ry, y and the designer announced he’s doing just that.

The Dr. Henry ryy is a tw two-toned w pink shoe with bold stitching accents and a strap, and featu tures u

that our admiration for Dr. Henry was mutual was just a beautiful cherry ryy on top of an already greeat sundae,” added Fluevog g.

The Dr. Henry will be available for pre-sale at a retail price of $339 later this month. Production n is tentatively scheduled for late August.

her well-known words stamped on it: “be kind, be calm, and be safe.”

The shoe is also doubling as a fundraiser.

One hundred percent of pre-sales for the Dr. Henry will go to support Food Banks B.C.

Vancouver WAS Awesome this week in history In April of 1836 the S.S. Beaver arrived in Vancouver. The first steamship in the North Pacific, it cruised B.C. waters for more than 50 years, first serving the gold and fur trades then surveying for the Royal Navy. On July 26, 1888 it crashed up on the rocks below Prospect Point in what is now Stanley Park. Its drunken crew abandoned the vessel and it remained there for years until it was finally removed.

CLOSES

Last week the Vancouver aquarium announced it may be forced to permanently close its doors due to a lack of revenue during the CoViD-19 pandemic. however, the organization stated it would never allow its animals to suffer.

The Aquarium houses roughly 70,000 animals. Lasse Gustavsson, Chief Executive Officer at the Vancouver Aquarium, told Vancouver Is Awesome in a phone call that the animals continue to receive proper care and attention, despite the pandemic. Should the facility tyy be forced to close, money has ass been set aside ass for re-homing the animals.

With this in mind, Vancouver residents are concerned about the welflfare f of the animals, and worry ryy that the organization may not be able to look out for their best interests.

Victoria Shroff, Animal An n Law Lawy wyer, y told V.I.A. in a phone call that animals should not be used for the entert rtainment t of people. Specifically, she points to Helen, the senior Pacific white-sided dolphin, who is the las ast s remaining cetacean at the Aquarium. She notes that since the organization is no longer permitted to hold cetaceans, Helen is being sent to SeaWorld in Texas as. s

Las ast s year, Canada prohibited the keeping of whales and dolphins in captivity tyy along with breeding and exploiting them for entert rtainment. t However, Shroff argu gues u that Helen would likely be on public display for guests gu u at SeaWorld. Moreover, she worries that the senior dolphin may be forced to perf rform f tricks.

“I’m not cert rtain t the Vancouver Aquarium has ass exh xhausted h the list of places for Helen,” remarks Shroff. “She used to have company in her tank at the aquarium, and she’s been alone for the pas ast s couple of years. She needs to be with other cetaceans, but she would be better in a sanctu tuary u ryy where she wouldn’t be used for entert rtainment.” t Shroff is also concerned that SeaWorld may try ryy to breed the senior dolphin, and that her journey down south may take a toll on her.

“I’m very ryy concerned that they not try ryy to breed Helen, ass having dolphin offspring in captivity tyy means they are doomed to a life in a tiny tank. I’m also concerned with

the physical transfer itselflff of Helen, who is middle aged,” she says.

While Shroff notes that Helen would likely be placed with a compatible tank mate, she isn’t convinced that Texas ass is the best place for the senior dolphin to retire. With that said, she said that Helen would likely receive more attention than some of the other animals at the Aquarium, such ass individual fish. She also questions what the Aquarium means by “re-homing” the animals.

“Is re-homing different than re-locating?” she asks. “They “T T need to look at the best interest of each animal.”

Shroff adds that this is also a chance for the Aquarium to reevaluate how they operate. She wonders if they need to display animals to the public at all, or if they could reinvent the concept of the learning facility tyy through other tools.

T&T Supermarket will now do temperature checks at store doors

S

VPD arrest 14 homeless and supporters squatting in elementary school

hoppers who frequent T&T Supermarket can expect added screening measures after the Asian grocer announced it is rolling out temperature checks for both customers and employees.

Implemented earlier this week, the temperature checks represent the latest measure by the grocery chain to try and limit the spread of the novel coronavirus among customers and staff. Employees at the store already sanitize shopping baskets, wear masks and gloves, and at the checkout, plexiglass has been installed to maintain a barrier between shoppers and cashiers.

The non-invasive temperature checks are carried out with infrared thermometers, which scan an individual’s temperature without any physical contact.

Fever is one of the telltale symptoms of a COVID-19 infection.

Others include a dry cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue and a sore throat. In some cases, the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control notes those infected may experience muscle aches, a headache, loss of appetite, chills, a runny nose, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and a loss of sense of smell or taste.

Grocery stores are not limited to the same mass gathering rules as some other establishments. Deemed essential by the province, they are nonetheless expected to follow “the spirit of the order.” Many stores operating across Metro Vancouver have put that into action by limiting the number of customers in at once, opening for extended hours to limit crowding at peak hours, or by creating safe distance markers at cashier lineups.

THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 2020 VANCOUVER IS AWESOME

VANCOUVERISAWESOME.COM

Vancouver Police have arrested 14 people who broke into Lord Strathcona Elementary School Saturday night.

In a press release, Sergeant Aaron Roed stated that the suspects barricaded doors, and that “Police were met with hostile and combative suspects inside the school who, at one point, threw wooden pallets and other large pieces of wood at officers.”

Sleeping bags, tools, and alcohol belonging to the suspects were all found within the school.

The organized squatters — which included homeless people and their supporters — sent out a press release of their own, calling their action the “Kennedy Stewart Squat”.

They feel the City could be doing a lot more to help the vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that “the Provincial government has declared a public health emergency, which gives them the power to use any building or property in BC for the purpose of fighting the spread of COVID-19. So far they have not used this power while more than 10,000 units of private tourist hotels sit empty in the city of Vancouver alone.”

They believe that “The current choice for our community is to hide out alone and die from overdose or go out in the community and die from COVID-19. In the Stewart Squat we can be together with our community in order to stop overdose deaths, while having enough space to self-isolate and be safe from the spread of COVID-19.”

Mayor Kennedy Stewart also released a statement, in which he said “It’s clear from this action, and the hundreds of conversations I have had with people who work in the Downtown Eastside, that more information is needed about how underhoused and homeless residents can find the shelter they need to stay safe from COVID-19.”

He went on to note that the Province’s Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, Shane Simpson, needs to “outline his plan for the hundreds of hotel spaces and other shelter beds BC Housing has already secured,” that 58 modular homes were opened in May, and that there are currently two community centres which are mobilized for emergency response.

The VPD will be pursuing charges.
