Calgary Police identify May 22 homicide victim as Gurkeert (Gary) Singh Kalkat, 25, of Calgary and Surrey His brother Jaskeert Kalkat was shot dead at Burnaby’s Market Crossing on May 13 CALGARY Police on Wednesday identified the May 22 homicide victim as Gurkeert Singh Kalkat, also known as Gary Kalkat, 25, of Calgary and Surrey, British Columbia. An autopsy was conducted on Tuesday by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to identify the victim. Within hours of the murder last Saturday, the victim’s identity was known in the South Asian community in the Lower Mainland, perhaps primarily because of the large South Asian population in Calgary. The VOICE knew the identity of the victim but we only mentioned that he was “a relative” of Jaskeert Kalkat on our website voiceonline.com. Gurkeert Kalkat’s brother, Jaskeert Kalkat, 23, who was known to police and affiliated with the Brothers Keepers gang, was shot and killed on May 13 shortly after 8:35 p.m. at Burnaby’s Market Crossing near Byrne Road and Marine Way. The two people that were injured in the shooting – a man and woman in their 20s — were also targeted. They were expected to survive in spite of having been seriously injured. What added high drama to the Calgary murder was that just an hour after that – at 5:30 p.m. [Pacific Time] - Mir Aali Hussain, was shot and killed in Coquitlam near Hart Street and Henderson Avenue (see story inside). That led to rumours that the two murders were connected. They were not. One media report said that in 2018, Gurkeert Kalkat was sentenced to three years in federal prison for trafficking fentanyl. This followed an undercover drug operation led by Calgary Police. Providing an update on Gurkeert Kalkat’s murder on Wednesday, Calgary Police said that the homicide is believed to be directly related to the ongoing gang conflict that has been occurring throughout the

Lower Mainland in British Columbia. “This incident was targeted, preplanned and deliberate, and the offenders showed no regard for the safety of Calgarians. At the time of the shooting there were at least five residents who were in a nearby backyard who could have easily been struck by a stray bullet,” police said. On Saturday, May 22, at approximately 5:30 p.m. [Mountain Time], police were called to the 1800-block of 26 Avenue S.W., for multiple reports of gunshots in the area. Upon arrival, police located a man suffering from gunshot wounds inside his vehicle, which was in the alley behind 26 Avenue S.W. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Immediately after the shooting, suspects abandoned their first getaway vehicle, a stolen Honda Odyssey van with a stolen license plate, in the alley of the 2200-block of 31 Avenue S.W., and transferred to a second getaway vehicle, a blue, fourdoor Subaru Impreza.

this scene, witnesses reported seeing at least two suspects light the stolen van on fire. Investigators believe that one of the suspects may have sustained burn injuries to his hands and arms during this incident. Investigators have been in touch with hospitals throughout Alberta and British Columbia. However, they have not yet identified any suspects. After combing through a significant amount of CCTV from the area, investigators are releasing images of the blue Subaru Impreza that the suspects fled the Marda Loop area in. From the scene, the vehicle travelled west on 32 Avenue S.W., south on 22 Street S.W., to 33 Avenue S.W., where it is believed the suspects drove north on Crowchild Trail. It is still unknown if they are currently travelling in this vehicle. “There is a good probability that these offenders travelled to Calgary with the sole purpose of committing this homicide,” said Staff-Sgt.

Schiavetta of the Calgary Police Service Homicide Unit. “This is not the first time we have seen gang conflict from outside of Calgary enter our city, however, wherever these gang members are, they are putting citizens, friends, family members and police officers around them at risk.” “We have engaged our law enforcement partners across Alberta and British Columbia, including The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit BC (CFSEU), RCMP, Vancouver Police Department, and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), as the victim’s brother [Jaskeert Kalkat] was also murdered on May 13, 2021, in Burnaby, British Columbia, outside of a busy restaurant,” police said. Anyone who has information about the offenders, including individuals who may have received unexplained burn injuries this weekend, or the blue Subaru are asked to contact police by calling the non-emergency number at 403-266-1234.

MEANWHILE, well-known Punjabi journalist Gurpreet (Lucky) Singh Sahota tells The VOICE that he suspects that a couple of cops might be leaking out information about the gangsters to their rivals. He wonders how the gangsters who targeted Gurkeert Singh Kalkat could have found out that he was living in a halfway house in a posh area of Calgary. Sahota said that he was not blaming all the cops. He said Gurkeert had cleaned up his act and was planning to start a dog breeding business. Lee Steven Chapelle, who works as a consultant for first-time offenders primarily and also trains lawyers and other professionals who deal with convicts, tweeted the following: “Gurkeert was a respectful, intelligent gentleman & a gentle man. He earned a parole this winter & was not active in any gang relations, at all. He was fully compliant with the restrictive conditions of his parole & planned to breed dogs for a living. Senseless murder. RIP Garry.” (For updates and more information on the homicides mentioned in the story, visit the Crime Section of our website voiceonline.com)

“As an Indo-Canadian, I share in the grief, pain and despair felt throughout our community and across India. This surge in new COVID-19 cases over the past month is an unprecedented crisis in my home country. As a Canadian, living through this lock down, the past year has certainly been taxing, but I know from the work that I do, and through family, that the people of India are suffering on a far greater scale than many Canadians could imagine,” says James Pothirajulu, Vice President, Programs and Policy, World Vision Canada. “The latest COVID-19 wave that is affecting India is nothing less than tragic. I am receiving daily calls from those

who have loved ones who are suffering. They are in urgent need of care. Every avenue is being explored to help the people of India during this crisis, and I encourage Canadians to assist and give to the Humanitarian Coalition in this time of need,” says Victor T. Thomas, President and CEO of the Canada-India Business Council and Chair of CARE Canada. The Humanitarian Coalition brings together 12 leading aid organizations to provide Canadians with a simple and effective way to help during major international disasters. By working together, they save on costs, deliver stronger programs and save more lives.

UBC Faculty of Medicine’s Dr. Faisal Khosa honoured with Global Humanitarian Award DR. Faisal Khosa has received a Global Humanitarian Award from the American College of Radiology Foundation (ACRF) for his positive global impact on radiology services. For more than two decades, Khosa, an associate professor of radiology in the faculty of medicine, has collected funds to support the provision of X-ray, mammography and ultrasound equipment to healthcare institutions in low-to middle-income countries, including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. He also founded the Radiology Track of the World Association

ian Award,” Khosa said. “I am receiving this award on behalf of my wife, my children, my parents, my mentors and mentees. This award is a tribute to the radiology workforce in Asia who do so much in spite of limited resources.” Khosa has coached, mentored and sponsored hundreds of students, residents and fellows from around the world. He previously received the Honor of State of Pakistan in 2013 and the Association of Faculties of Medicine in Canada May Cohen Equity Diversity and Gender Award in 2020. “The 2021 and 2020 ACR Foun-

dation Global Humanitarian Award recipients exemplify how radiologists, allied professionals, nonprofits and likeminded businesses can work together to improve radiologic care and save lives in underserved and low- to middle-income countries,” said James V. Rawson, Chair of the ACR Foundation Executive Committee. “By recognizing these volunteer efforts, the ACR Foundation hopes to encourage others to become involved in similar initiatives worldwide.” (Story and photo courtesy UBC Faculty of Medicine)

Daljit Singh Sandhu, former president of Vancouver’s Khalsa Diwan Society, passes away

DALJIT Singh Sandhu, former president of Vancouver’s Khalsa Diwan Society, passed away on last week on Wednesday night. He dedicated his entire life to the Sikh community and the mainstream community. His health had been deteriorating for some time and he had to go round the hospitals for medical checkups, but he was always following the Guru’s wishes. He arrived in Canada on April 16, 1974, as a new immigrant. He soon made his mark in the community. He became the heartbeat of the entire community due to his pleasant talk and warm nature. In

1982-83 and again in 1987-88, he became President of the Khalsa Diwan Society, Canada’s oldest Guru Ghar. During his tenure, he is credited with initiating the Nagar Kirtan, organizing annual games and sending Shaheed Jathas to the Akali Morcha in Punjab. He was one of the founders of Sri Guru Singh Sabha when it was established at Surrey. He also worked for the World Sikh Organization. He rendered valuable services for long to the Punjabi Tribune weekly. Daljit Singh was born on February 8, 1937, to mother Kulwant Kaur and father Arjan Singh in the vil-

lage of Shrinah, Nakodar tehsil, Jalandhar district. He was one of five brothers and three sisters. He matriculated from Panjab University in 1954 and then completed his 1954 training as a trainer at Bhakra Nangal Dam. In 1955, trainers were hired at Ambala, Punjab. On July 4, 1956, he got a job as a trainer in the Indian Railways. In January 1957, he completed his studies as a draftsman in evening classes in Delhi. On September 24, 1962, he joined the Indian Railways as a draftsman. With his hard work and wisdom, he soon became a senior draftsman on June 26, 1964. He

was a daily follower of Gurbani. He was one of the best hockey players in the Indian Railways from 1957 to 1969. He is survived by his wife, four brothers, three sisters, five daughters, two sons, grandsons, granddaughters and great-grandchildren. Today, Canadians are saddened by his departure. His last rites were performed at the Five River Funeral Centre on Sunday, May 23 and the final prayer took place at Sri Guru Singh Sabha Surrey. (By Jaiteg Singh Anant)

BC Securities Commission alleges Geoffrey Rajay Sidhu of Vancouver and company defrauded investor of $1.75 million THE British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) is alleging that a Vancouver man and a company run by his father defrauded a B.C. investor and illegally distributed securities. In a Notice of Hearing, the BCSC says that Geoffrey Rajay Sidhu met the investor through a social network website, and learned that she owned a home mortgage-free and had a modest income. Sidhu offered to give her financial advice to improve her financial situ-

ation, and the investor accepted his offer. Sidhu recommended that the investor obtain a mortgage against her home and use the proceeds to invest in real estate. Sidhu then helped the investor obtain a $2,070,000 mortgage from a private lender on a one-year term. After she was approved for a mortgage, Sidhu introduced her to Bracetek Industries Group Ltd., whose sole officer and director was Sid-

hu’s father. Bracetek told the investor that it had licensed the exclusive right to develop, manufacture and sell proprietary braces used in residential and commercial construction. Sidhu recommended that the investor invest $1.75 million of the mortgage proceeds in Bracetek, telling her that the value of the investment would triple in value when his father took the company public within a year. She followed Sidhu’s recommendation. According to the BCSC, before the investment, Sidhu and Bracetek failed to disclose important facts to the investor about Bracetek’s financial condition: * It had $89.45 in its bank account and no revenues, * It owed over $300,000 in unpaid compensation, office furniture, rent and credit card debt, and * It had never paid for the technologies used

in its braces. Bracetek used $900,000 of the woman’s investment to preserve an option to purchase another technology from companies controlled by Sidhu. It also used $150,000 to buy back shares owned by Bracetek’s co-founder. Neither expenditure was disclosed to the investor. In addition, Bracetek, with Sidhu acting an agent, distributed its securities to the investor without filing a prospectus, a formal document that describes details of an investment. A prospectus exemption was not available for the transaction. The BCSC’s allegations have not been proven. The commission has asked the parties to appear at the BCSC’s offices on August 11, 2021, if they wish to be heard before the Commission schedules a hearing.

B.C. launches restart plan WITH more than 60% of adults vaccinated with their first dose and COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations steadily declining, the Province announced on Tuesday that it is moving forward with the cautious first step of a four-step plan for a careful and safe restart. “British Columbians have sacrificed so much over the last 15 months to help keep people and our communities safe,” said Premier John Horgan. “We have made tremendous strides with our vaccination program, and we are now in a position where we can move forward with a plan to slowly bring us back together. As we have done throughout this pandemic, we will be closely following the guidance of public health and supporting people and businesses as we take the next steps in putting this pandemic behind us.” BC’s Restart – a four-step plan to bring B.C. back together will be a slow and gradual return to a more normal life, with safety and health protocols such as mask wearing and physical distancing remaining in place and mandatory during the initial two steps of the plan. The four-step plan was designed based on data and guidance from the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) and Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer (PHO). Progressing through the steps will be measured by the number of adults vaccinated, COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations and deaths, taking into account clusters and outbreaks. While there are approximate dates, the plan will be guided by data, not dates, and will not proceed to the next step until it is safe to do so based on guidance from public health and the latest available data. “We have been on a long and tiring journey, and now we can start to chart our path forward to brighter days ahead,” Henry said. “To be successful in this next phase of the pandemic, we need to keep COVID-19 low and slow. To do that, we need to be slow and measured in our approach, gradually

tancing measures remain in place Step 3: Early July (July 1 – earliest date)

John Horgan turning up the dial on how we spend time together – whether that is socializing with family, going to work or visiting friends.” The step-by-step plan will follow approximate timelines and will ease people and businesses slowly out of the pandemic. The four steps are:

ness with safety protocols * Start gradual return to workplaces * Provincewide mask mandate, business safety protocols and physical distancing measures remain in place * Return of indoor in-person faithbased gatherings (reduced capacity) based on consultation with public health

Step 1: May 25

Step 2: Mid-June (June 15 – earliest date)

* 60% of adult population with Dose 1 * COVID-19 cases stable, hospitalizations stable * Maximum of five visitors or one household allowed for indoor personal gatherings * Maximum of 10 people for outdoor personal gatherings * Maximum of 10 people for seated indoor organized gatherings with safety protocols * Maximum of 50 people for seated outdoor organized gatherings with safety protocols * Recreational travel only within travel region (travel restrictions extended) * Indoor and outdoor dining for up to six people with safety protocols * Resume outdoor sports (games) with no spectators, low-intensity fit-

* 65% of adult population with Dose 1 * Cases declining, COVID-19 hospitalizations declining * Maximum of 50 people for outdoor social gatherings * Maximum of 50 people for seated indoor organized gatherings (banquet halls, movie theatres, live theatre) with safety protocols * Consultation process to prepare for larger indoor and outdoor gatherings with safety protocols * No B.C. travel restrictions – check local travel advisories * Indoor sports (games) and highintensity fitness with safety protocols * Spectators for outdoor sports (50 maximum) * Provincewide mask mandate, business safety protocols and physical dis-

* 70% of adult population with Dose 1 * Cases low, COVID-19 hospitalizations declining * Provincial state of emergency and public health emergency lifted * Returning to usual for indoor and outdoor personal gatherings * Increased capacity for indoor and outdoor organized gatherings, with safety plans * Nightclubs and casinos reopen with capacity limits and safety plans * New public health and workplace guidance around personal protective equipment, physical distancing and business protocols Step 4: Early September (September 7 – earliest date) * More than 70% of adult population with Dose 1 * Cases low and stable (contained clusters), COVID-19 hospitalizations low * Returning to normal social contact * Increased capacity at larger organized gatherings * No limits on indoor and outdoor spectators at sports * Businesses operating with new safety plans FOR Step 1 and Step 2, restaurants, bars and pubs, as well as indoor fitness facilities, are to return to the existing safety protocols that were in place prior to the circuit breaker restrictions. For other sectors, existing safety protocols remain in place for Step 1 and Step 2, including existing safety protocols at schools and daycares. In Step 1, hotels and other accommodation providers are encouraged to welcome guests from inside their region. In Step 2, the invitation can be extended to guests from throughout the province. Prior to steps 3 and 4, sector associa-

tions will work with public health and WorkSafeBC to update sector guidelines to meet updated public health guidance. All updated workplace safety plans should be ready by July 1 prior to shifting into Step 3. These plans will be based on updated sector guidelines. Roundtables led by ministries across government will engage with industry and labour, along with WorkSafeBC and public health, to help develop comprehensive updated industry-specific safety plans, as well as engage with First Nations and municipal governments. “We are able to begin this restart because of the sacrifice and dedication from so many people and businesses throughout B.C.,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation. “As we transition through the restart plan, we will continue to engage with businesses, industry and key stakeholders. I know that the entrepreneurial spirit of B.C.’s business community will again rise to the challenge as we work together to build a brighter and better future with meaningful jobs and a strong, sustainable economy for all.” In-class K-12 education will continue to operate under existing safety protocols for steps 1 and 2. In preparation for the return to classes in the fall, the COVID-19 education steering committee will work with public health officials to update safety guidelines. The Province is formally extending the provincial state of emergency through the end of the day on June 8, allowing health and emergency management officials to continue to use extraordinary powers under the Emergency Program Act to support the Province’s COVID-19 pandemic response. The original declaration was made on March 18, 2020, the day after Henry declared a public health emergency, and can be extended for periods of up to 14 days at a time. Provincial travel restrictions will continue to be enforced until Step 2 of the four-step plan.

With no enforcement of law or rules, United Truckers Association says it will seek relief from courts OVER 200 United Truckers Association (UTA) members gathered for a masked, socially distanced meeting this past Monday to approve moving forward on a court challenge “regarding rampant, illegal off-dock activity in the local drayage sector.” “This new direction comes in response to a series of lies and empty promises delivered by the BC Container Trucking Commissioner and the BC Government over the last few months,” said the UTA. On May 12, the Office of the BC Container Trucking Commissioner (OBCCTC) released a recommendation report on off-dock activity. As per a recent release by Unifor, it is estimated that 45% of all drayage off-dock work is performed by unlicensed, untagged trucks at less than half of legislated rates. This has led to great hardship and loss of earnings for legitimate Independent Operators (IOs), according to the UTA. After months of being promised legislative change by both the Commissioner and BC government officials, the report has instead recommended a way for illegal operators to be legitimized into the current system.

Baljit Dhaliwal is new Chair of Surrey Board of Trade THE Surrey Board of Trade will induct its 56th Chair, Baljit Dhaliwal, owner of Tinker’s Tax and Accounting, on June 17 at a digital Surrey economic update and annual general meeting from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. “I am humbled and honoured to be the 56th Chair of the Surrey Board of Trade during the 103rd year of Surrey’s business organization. I follow in the footsteps of many amazing leaders. I’m thrilled to have Baljit Dhaliwal the opportunity to roll up my sleeves with my fellow board directors to support and further the needs and interests of Surrey’s business community,” said Dhaliwal. “I’ve known Baljit for more than 20 years. I welcome him to the role of Board Chair as we continue our leadership-oriented, city-building advocacy and projects as we prepare to be the largest city in British Columbia. The Surrey Board of Trade has a responsibility and accountability to ensure that Surrey receives the infrastructure investments that the city needs to ensure a sustainable, thriving and livable city for our businesses and their employees,” said Anita Huberman, CEO, Surrey Board of Trade. The Board Chair serves as Chief Governance Officer for the Surrey Board of Trade to ensure that the Board of Directors have a visionary future of not only the organization, but also for city-building initiatives in Surrey. Dhaliwal is a spirited entrepreneur as a tax and educational consultant with over four decades of business and financial experience. Harnessing a diverse set of capabilities and partnerships, Baljit has specialized in post-secondary education for the past 20 years. He currently teaches and specializes in facilitating new ventures with critical, creative, and collaborative curriculum development and operations of private colleges. An alumnus of SFU, Baljit is currently working on completing his doctorate in educational leadership. His educational philosophy supports students through relevant and changing social and economic paradigms to better prepare and change their lives through education. His goal is to encourage more entrepreneurs in expanding their businesses to the fastest growing city. He is proud to reside in Surrey for the past 30 years and thoroughly enjoys a game of golf whenever time permits, according to a statement by the Surrey Board of Trade.

The 2014 Joint Action Plan that ended the labour disruption, committed to regulation of off-dock work by June 15, 2014. Yet seven years later, this promise has not been fulfilled. As a result, the UTA has been left with no other options but to petition the courts to designate the current regulatory environment as illegitimate, according to spokesperson Gagan Singh. “Since the last provincial election, the BC Government has told the UTA that the off-dock loophole was going to be closed, and now we see that those promises were nothing but lies,” said Singh. “Politicians are quick to condemn the racist past of the Komagata Maru, but our UTA members are facing a modern form of discrimination that is causing great suffering across the community.” The recent report by the Commissioner is a complete contradiction from his bulletin released on April 17, 2020, which clearly states that: “Licensees are reminded of the March 6, 2018 bulletin which advised that it is a requirement of the Regulation and section 6.9 of the CTS Licence that they use tagged trucks for all on and off-dock moves.”

One year later, not only has no enforcement been carried out by licensed companies using untagged trucks for off-dock work, but the Commissioner has also now abandoned this position.

“The OBCCTC and the BC Government can no longer use lies and deception to avoid upholding the law, and the UTA is going to ensure that the courts teach them this important lesson,” said Singh.

hospitals. Burnaby Hospital was back to full operations on May 25. By Monday, June 7, all nine hospitals – Burnaby, Royal Columbian, Abbotsford Regional and Surrey Memorial in Fraser Health, and St. Paul’s, Lions Gate, Richmond, UBC and Vancouver General hospitals in Vancouver Coastal Health – will be fully online delivering the postponed surgeries. “In April of this year, we made a commitment to patients whose surgeries were postponed that they were not forgotten. Today, we can say to these patients that we will soon be calling you again – this time to re-book your surgery.” Henry and Dix also announced that as part of BC’s Restart plan, an updated provincial health officer’s order variance for religious services would be posted, allowing for up to 50 people at indoor religious services, with detailed COVID-19 safety plans in place.

WITH the success of the Neighbourhood Clinics at Bear Creek Park and Surrey Sport and Leisure Complex last week, the Newton Recreation Centre (13730 – 72 Avenue) will be the site of the latest Neighbourhood Clinic in Surrey. In partnership with Fraser Health and the Province, the Newton Recreation Centre Neighbourhood Clinic will be held on the following days: * Monday, May 31 * Tuesday, June 1 “With the Restart plan outlined by the Province earlier this week, it is clear that the best and quick-

est way to speed things back to normal is to get vaccinated,” said Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum. “This latest Neighbourhood Clinic at the Newton Recreation Centre is another option for Surrey residents to get immunized. We had a tremendous turnout at the Neighbourhood Clinics held last week, and I am confident that we will have similar success over the three days at the Newton Recreation Centre. If you have not received your shot, I invite you to come on down and get the jab.” Clinics will be open from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. or until all vaccines are distributed. Priority is given to

Surrey residents receiving their first dose. To avoid long waits for people, Surrey residents arriving each day will receive wristbands from organizers and a same day appointment. Clinic staff will confirm ID to ensure vaccine priority is given to people living in Surrey. Staff will also be available to help people register and book appointments at other clinics throughout Surrey if needed. The Surrey Neighbourhood Clinics are a complement to the appointment-based clinics currently operating throughout the City, and community partnerships at gurdwaras and mosques.

Trudeau announces additional support of up to $1,200 for each child under the age of six PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced that families entitled to the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) will receive additional support of up to $1,200 for each child under the age of six. This temporary measure will put money directly into the pockets of Canadian families to better help them cope with the pressures of the pandemic. Families with a net income of

$120,000 or less will receive up to four tax-free payments of $300. Families with a net income above $120,000 will receive up to four tax-free payments of $150, for a total benefit of up to $600. To ensure that more money goes to the families that need it the most, families with net incomes that are too high to be entitled to the CCB will not receive these additional payments.

The first and second payments will be issued today (May 28), with subsequent payments on July 30 and October 29. This measure will benefit approximately 1.6 million Canadian families and approximately 2.1 million children under the age of six. Trudeau said that many families with young children have been struggling with a wide range of

expenses during the pandemic. These payments will make life easier for them to afford healthy food, short-term child care, and at-home learning activities. He said: “This immediate investment in our children will help hard-working parents provide for their families by putting more money directly in their pockets. We will continue to make life more affordable for Canadian families, grow the middle class, and build a better country for everyone.” Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue, said: “Having raised my children as a working mother, I know the challenges that parents face when balancing the well-being of their children with economic necessity. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting families with young children as we work together towards recovery

and a return to a new normal for all Canadians.” Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, said: “We know it’s been a tough year for Canadians, and especially for parents with young children. We are continually looking for the best ways to tailor our programs like the Canada Child Benefit to address the

real challenges they face every day, including keeping up with the high costs of raising kids. That’s why our government is kicking in additional support for parents this year as we weather the pandemic and continue to build back a stronger, more prosperous Canada.” For more information, visit our website voiceonline.com

PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday launched the new Canada Greener Homes Grant, which will help up to 700,000 Canadian homeowners across the country improve the energy efficiency of their homes and reduce their energy bills through an investment of $2.6 billion over seven years. Homeowners will be able to receive grants of up to $5,000 to make energy efficient retrofits to their primary residences, and up to $600 to help with the cost of home energy evaluations. Eligible home improvements and upgrades include replacing windows and doors, adding insulation, sealing air leaks, improving heating and cooling systems – such as with

heat pumps – and purchasing renewable energy systems like solar panels. Trudeau said that to support this new initiative, the government announced last week its commitment to recruit and train up to 2,000 new energy advisors to help provide guidance, advice, and timely evaluations to Canadians from coast to coast to coast. This recruitment, with a focus on advancing diversity and inclusion, will create new jobs and economic growth that benefits everyone. Trudeau said that this announcement is just one of the many steps the Government of Canada is taking to fight climate change, reduce pollution, and protect the en-

vironment. Through Canada’s climate plan, we are making life more affordable for Canadians, creating good middle class jobs, and building a stronger and cleaner economy for everyone. Trudeau noted: “Whether replacing a drafty window, adding insulation, or making upgrades ahead of a tough Canadian winter, today’s investment will help Canadians make their homes more comfortable and life more affordable. Improving the energy efficiency of our homes not only cuts down on pollution, it also creates new jobs, economic growth, and a cleaner future for everyone.” For more information, visit our website voiceonline.com

PREMIER John Horgan on Friday said that he is horrified and heartbroken to learn that the burial site of 215 children has been confirmed on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. Horgan added: “I honour Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc as they grapple with this burden from a dark chapter of Canadian history and uphold their commitment to complete this investigation over the coming weeks – bringing to light the full truth of this loss. “Each child has been forever taken from a family and a community that loved them. This is a tragedy of unimaginable proportions. And it is a stark example of the violence the Canadian residential school system inflicted upon Indigenous peoples and how the consequences of these atrocities continue to this day.

Premier Horgan horrified and heartbroken to learn of burial site at former Kamloops Indian Residential School “The Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc people have said they are the caretakers of these children, as some would have been brought to the residential school from neighbouring Nations. My thoughts are with the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc and all who mourn, as they enact their cultural protocols to notify First Nations communities whose children were sent to this school.” Hragna said that support services are available for those affected by this news: A National Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former Residential School students and those affected. Access emotional and crisis referral services by calling the 24-hour national crisis line: 1 866 925-4419. Within B.C., the KUU-US Crisis Line Society provides a First

Nations and Indigenous specific crisis line available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, tollfree from anywhere in British Columbia. The KUU-US Crisis Line can be reached toll-free at 1 800 588-8717. Alternatively, call direct into the Youth Line at 250 723-2040 or the Adult Line at 250 723-4050, or online: https://www.kuu-uscrisisline. com/

MEANWHILE, the Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) said in a statement on Friday that it mourns with the Tk’emlups te Secwépemc, and with all of the families of the children lost to the Kamloops Indian Residential School, upon hearing the announcement by Tk’emlúps that the remains of children had been found buried on the grounds of the former residential school. Kukpi7 Judy Wilson, UBCIC

Secretary-Treasurer and Kukpi7 of the Neskonlith Indian Band, said: “As Secwépemc we are grieving our relatives, and all of the stsmemelt, whose lives were lost to the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Though we knew that many children never returned home, and their families were left without answers, this confirmation brings a particular heaviness to our hearts and our spirits all throughout Secwépemculecw. I hold my hands up to Kukpi7 Rosanne Casimir, and to the people of Tk’emlúps, for undertaking this difficult but critical work to identify and honour each of the spirits who were lost to this institution of state sanctioned genocide, and the ongoing work to bring closure and healing to their families and communities. We stand beside you in prayer, and in honouring each and every one

of them”. “There are no words to express the deep mourning that we feel as First Nations people, and as survivors, when we hear an announcement like this. These were children – all belonging to a family and community, and a Nation – who were forcibly stolen from their homes under the authority of the Canadian government, and never returned. We call upon Canada, and all of those who call yourselves Canadians, to witness and recognize the truth of our collective history. This is the reality of the genocide that was, and is, inflicted upon us as Indigenous peoples by the colonial state. Today we honour the lives of those children, and hold prayers that they, and their families, may finally be at peace,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, UBCIC President.

“We express our deepest sympathy to the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc and our gratitude for shouldering the immense responsibility of caretaking for these lost children,” said Chief Don Tom, UBCIC Vice-President. “In 1969, over 150 Chiefs and delegates gathered on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School for the first ever assembly of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. Those leaders gathered together on these grounds, and what we now know to be the sacred, and final, resting place of these children. They came together to challenge the interference of the colonial state on our lives, on our children’s lives, and to fight for our future generations. This can only be felt deeply as we stand united today, as our leaders stood united over 50 years ago, in our collective grief, healing, and strength.”

Federal NDP: Trudeau must reverse decision to cut CRB for struggling Canadians THE federal NDP said on Wednesday that the Liberal government’s budget made it clear that they’re not on the side of the almost two million Canadians struggling to get by after losing their jobs during the pandemic. While the Liberals rushed to give money to the richest corporations without any strings attached, they’re going to cut help for families who are waiting to work again in provinces still under stay-at-home orders and lockdowns. New Democrats are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to change his plans

Jagmeet Singh (far left). to cut the amount of money people receive through the

Canada (CRB).

Benefit

“In last month’s budget, the Liberals announced that CRB payments of $500 per week would be cut to $300 come July. That’s a 40 percent cut. Restrictions in many provinces will still be in place come July and people will still be temporarily or permanently laid off. Justin Trudeau is cutting help to families who are barely making ends meet. That is wrong,” said federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. “We are calling on the government to withdraw their plan to cut the amount of money people need. In July, Canadians will still need help

to pay bills and put food on the table. They can count on us to fight against this cut in support.” The NDP said that throughout this pandemic, the Liberals wanted to look like they cared, but left people behind. New Democrats fought for Canadians and pushed the government to do more than they wanted. Whether it was to double the CERB or double the amount of time people can access help so that families could make ends meet, every time the Liberal government tried to cut or end help for people, Jagmeet Singh

and the NDP fought back. “How can the Liberals justify cutting the amount of money people receive through CRB, while big companies continue to collect money for wage subsidies,” said NDP Critic for Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Daniel Blaikie. “Canadians deserve a government that has their best interests at heart and is there to help them when they need it.” The NDP said it will continue to fight to get Canadians the help they need, when they need it.

Government to reimburse self-employed workers who repaid the CERB

THE federal government said on Thursday that as announced in February, self-employed workers who applied for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and would have qualified based on their gross income are not required to repay the benefit, provided they also met all other eligibility criteria. The government has now announced further details on how this approach will be applied. The government noted that the CERB helped more than 8 million Canadians pay for things like food and rent when it first asked people to stay home and flatten the curve. The CERB’s eligibility criteria were made as broad and inclusive as possible so that workers who needed support could get it; especially for the self-employed whose income takes different forms. Self-employed workers whose net selfemployment income was less than $5,000 and who applied for the CERB will not be required to repay the CERB, as long as: * They have filed their 2019 and 2020 income tax returns by December 31, 2022; * Their gross self-employment income was $5,000 or more in 2019 or in the 12 months prior to their initial application; and * They met all other CERB eligibility criteria. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will review the 2019 and 2020 income tax returns of workers in this situation to verify that these conditions are met. Starting on May 27, 2021, self-employed workers who meet the remission order criteria and who had voluntarily repaid all or part of the CERB to the CRA or Service Canada can request a reimbursement of their payments only from the CRA. These workers can do so by completing the CRA’s CERB Reimbursement Application for SelfEmployed Individuals form and submitting it to the CRA electronically or by mail. The CRA will begin processing applications after June 15, 2021. Eligible Canadians who repaid the CERB can expect reimbursements within approximately 90 days of submitting their applications to the CRA. Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue, said: “The Government of Canada remains committed to supporting Canadians as we continue to tackle one of our biggest historical challenges. Starting today, self employed workers who applied for the CERB in good faith can apply to have the Government reimburse their CERB repayments. This will help to ensure that self-employed individuals continue to receive financial support throughout the pandemic.” Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, said: “From day one, we said we would be there to help Canadians get through this difficult time and that’s what we did. Emergency supports like the CERB have helped millions of Canadians get through the most difficult and uncertain times of this pandemic. Today’s announcement demonstrates our continued support

to Canadians and their families. By taking these steps, we are giving certainty to self-

employed workers who applied in good faith for the CERB.”

Mir Aali Hussain was Coquitlam homicide victim; suspect vehicle seized THE Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is calling on the public to help further its investigation into the shooting death of 42-year-old Mir Aali Hussain in Coquitlam. “The victim, Mir Hussain, was known to police,” said IHIT Sgt. Frank Jang on Tuesday. “We have not yet determined if this is linked to the ongoing Lower Mainland Gang Conflict.” On May 22, at around 5:30 p.m., the Coquitlam RCMP responded to reports of a shooting near Hart Street and Henderson Avenue. Police found a man, later identified as Hussain, on the ground beside his white 2020 Toyota Highlander (see stock photo) with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at scene. A stolen 2002 red Buick Century with only one hubcap on the rear passenger wheel, left the scene immediately following the shooting and is believed to be the suspect vehicle. There were at least two people on board. This suspect vehicle was seen driving in the area

The murder scene. of Hart Street and Henderson Avenue for at least 20 minutes prior to the shooting. On May 23, the suspect vehicle was found by the Langley RCMP parked near 260 Street and 30A Avenue in Aldergrove. Attached to the vehicle were stolen licence plates that are believed to have been stolen in the Guildford neighbourhood of Surrey on May 22. Investigators are working to establish a timeline of Hussain’s activities leading up to his murder in Coquitlam. Anyone with dash cam video and/or anyone

who witnessed the shooting is urged to contact IHIT immediately. Anyone with information or dash cam video is asked to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmpgrc.gc.ca. Should you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800222-TIPS (8477). HUSSAIN was also targeted back in October, according to a media report.

That incident was reported in The VOICE in a story titled: “Liban Hassan, 35, and Ahmed Ismail, 24, charged with attempted murder in Vancouver’s West Side shooting.” But Hussain’s name as the victim was not revealed at the time. The story read in part: “Toronto media reports that Ismail was wanted in the shooting death of 16-year-old Ezekiel Agyemang of Brampton whose body was found in rural Milton, Ontario, on June 30. ““This was a reckless act in a heavily populated area, very early in the evening,” said Constable Tania Visintin. “It’s frightening for the neighbourhood and the consequences could have been far worse. This type of crime is not welcome in Vancouver.” “The shooting happened near West 29th Avenue and Dunbar Street at about 5:45 p.m. [on October 6]. Police responded after several 9-1-1 calls reported shots being fired. A man carrying a baby in a car seat was targeted. He was ac-

The suspects fled in a car after the shooting, but they collided with a parked vehicle and then took off on foot. ““This was an extremely dynamic and challenging call,” said Visintin. “The VPD response was swift and effective. Officers apprehended the suspects a short distance away, while specially trained Emergency Response Team medics applied first aid until paramedics arrived.”

Two likely to face criminal charges after intentionally coughing on RCMP officers TWO people could face criminal charges following incidents of individuals intentionally coughing on RCMP officers. During separate incidents in April and May, individuals in police custody, who alleged they had COVID-19, intentionally coughed on Chilliwack RCMP officers. The individuals, a 27-year-old woman from Chilliwack and a 28-year-old Agassiz man, did not exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19; however, the RCMP,

Nanaimo RCMP believe May 20 homicide is connected to Lower Mainland Gang Conflict NANAIMO RCMP said on Saturday that they believe the brazen daytime shooting homicide that occurred at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 20 near the Wendy’s Restaurant on Highway 19A at Rock City Road “has a nexus to the ongoing gang conflict and violence currently plaguing a number of Lower Mainland communities. Acting Inspector Donovan Tait said that at this time, there is no risk to the public. Three suspects with ties to the Lower Mainland were taken into custody. The investigation and evidence collection continues through the weekend and Nanaimo RCMP are seeking further assistance from the public.

Stock image of a 2003 Cadillac Escalade. “We would like express our sincere thanks to those alert citizens who contacted police

in a timely fashion providing valuable information to our investigators as this event unfolded, resulting in the arrests made,” said Tait. “These witness reports had a direct impact on our ability to take these individuals into custody quickly and safely. We have received great cooperation from many in the public contacting us with additional information helping us fill in some gaps, but we do need more.” Investigators will be conducting a massive video-surveillance canvass from commercial properties and residential areas in a number of locations in Nanaimo. Nanaimo RCMP are seeking any information on a

pearl white 2003 Cadillac Escalade SUV, and its occupants that was believed to be in the Nanaimo area a few days prior to the event. RCMP is also looking to speak to any witnesses who may have been walking or driving through the Rock City Plaza at the time of the shooting, in particular, a white woman who was seen walking towards the Jumping Jiminy’s Playground and Café. The three suspects have been released at this time pending further investigation. “These investigations are complex and we are committed to keeping Nanaimo and its citizens safe. The continued cooperation from the public is critical to have these perpetrators held accountable,” said Tait.

Delta Mayor tells Farnworth to enhance public safety during ongoing gang conflict

DELTA Mayor George V. Harvie sent a letter to Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, on May 20 requesting action to enhance public safety during the Lower Mainland District Gang Conflict.

forth legislation to establish significant consequences for vehicle operators in dial-adope operations and rental agencies and vehicle owners whose vehicles are involved in these illegal activities.

Harvie said: “Public safety is paramount. Resolving the current Lower Mainland District Gang Conflict requires a combined effort by multiple agencies. By working together and focusing on solutions that address enforce-

ment, education, outreach, and prevention, we can take important steps to protecting our communities.” To read Harvie’s letter, visit our website voiceonline.com

George V. Harvie Two options are suggested to address the immediate conflict and to curb gang activity and associated violence for the longer term. Harvie suggests providing for increased daily and weekly coverage of RCMP Air 1 helicopter. Enhancing aerial coverage will assist with a rapid response to crime scenes and the pursuit of suspects risking public safety on roadways. In addition, the Farnworth is requested to examine provincial legislation or bring

Man arrested in Downtown Vancouver beach stabbing VANCOUVER Police arrested a 25-yearold man on Wednesday following an assault investigation on a Downtown Vancouver beach. “Through the help of some great witnesses, officers were able to locate and arrest the suspect shortly after the stabbing occurred,” said Constable Tania Visintin. Officers responded to Sunset Beach on May 26 at 4:15 p.m. for multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting a man had stabbed another man. The suspect was allegedly skateboarding on the walking path of the seawall when he collided with a jogger. The jogger was uninjured. He got up and continued running. An unidentified man and woman approached the suspect and suggested the suspect use a different part of the path to skateboard which caused an argument to ensue. A 33-year-old male victim intervened and was stabbed by the suspect. “Despite being stabbed in multiple areas, the victim did not sustain any life-threatening injuries,” said Visintin. “There is absolutely no need whatsoever for any member of the public to be carrying any type of weapon on them. If someone encounters conflict with another person, we want people to call police immediately.” Over the past four weeks, there have been four violent incidents on and around Downtown Vancouver beaches. Charges of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon have been recommended by police. The suspect remains in custody.

Vancouver launches I Love Broadway Campaign ahead of Broadway Subway construction THE City of Vancouver on Tuesday launched a campaign to remind residents that their favourite Broadway businesses are open during construction of the Broadway Subway Project. “SkyTrain is coming to the Broadway Corridor in 2025, which will be a game changer for everyone who works, lives and shops in this important district,” said Steve Brown, Manager of the City’s Rapid Transit Office. “With station construction starting soon, we want to remind people that the hundreds of diverse Broadway businesses along the corridor are

One of the Broadway Subway stations that will be built. open throughout construction—and that business owners appreciate everyone’s support.” The I Love Broadway campaign will run on digital and

social media channels at key times over the next several years. City staff are providing the campaign graphics to 1,400 Broadway businesses and three Business Improve-

ment Associations (BIAs) to help share the campaign far and wide. City staff have also delivered window decals to ground-floor businesses. The impetus to run a campaign is based directly on feedback from businesses after construction of the Canada Line. Businesses shared their perspective that a marketing program is a key support mechanism for businesses during major projects and that it needs to coincide with the start of construction. City staff also reviewed several transit projects in North America, which highlighted the value of a business-sup-

port campaign through long construction periods. “As construction gets going, it’s important that people get the message that Broadway is still here for them,” said Neil Wyles, Executive Director of the Mount Pleasant Business Improvement Association. “Shopping local has never been more critical, so I’m pleased to see the City is running a campaign to encourage people to show their love for Broadway businesses during SkyTrain construction.” The City engaged a business and community liaison group to preview the campaign

creative and provide feedback. The Broadway Subway Project’s partners (Province of B.C. and TransLink) will share information on the campaign through their social media and other communications channels. The Broadway Subway Project is being delivered by the provincial government and its contractor, Broadway Subway Project Corporation. Expected to be in service in 2025, it will be operated and maintained by TransLink as part of the regional transit system. To learn more, visit our website voiceonline.com

Data from 2020 Transit Service Performance Review shows public transit vital despite pandemic challenges Surrey, Langley, North Delta and White Rock saw the highest return of bus ridership THE 2020 Transit Service Performance Review (TSPR) shows that transit remained a vital service for tens of thousands of people during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 and public health restrictions. TransLink continued delivering more than 620,000 boardings every weekday. Even at the lowest point of the pandemic, approximately 75,000 people still relied on transit every day, including many essential workers. TransLink secured one of the highest ridership retention rates among the 10 busiest systems in Canada and the United States. TransLink retained 48 per cent of its ridership in 2020, second only to Los Angeles. TransLink is fourth in per capita ridership and sixth in total number of boardings. These rankings mainly remained unchanged from 2019 as a similar drop in ridership was experienced across North America. Working from home and public health restrictions caused ridership in 2020 to fluctuate greatly, leaving no ‘average’ day to analyze for this year’s TSPR. As a result, this report focuses on the most stable eight-

week ridership period between September and November. This period provides the most relevant data because it indicates how customers are likely to use the transit network as the region recovers from COVID-19. 2020 Ridership Trend Highlights * Most of the bus ridership (85%) continued to be carried on routes that provide frequent service throughout the day and during peak periods.

bus routes in 2019 were still among the top 10 routes by boardings. * Ridership on bus routes that serve essential workers remained strong in 2020, including routes that primarily serve industrial areas, such as routes 116, 175, 418, and 640. * Commuter services to Downtown Vancouver and routes that exclusively serve university/college campuses saw significantly lower ridership recovery. The West Coast Express recovered to 17% of 2019 ridership. Bus routes that exclusively serve campus-bound customers recovered to 20% of 2019 volumes. * The Southeast sub-region (Surrey, Langley, North Delta, and White Rock) saw the highest return of bus ridership, with volumes at 55% of 2019 levels – higher than the bus network average of 44%. * HandyDART continued to provide critical access to medical services and other important destinations. While overall HandyDART ridership was down, HandyDART customers made 100% of dialysis appointment trips, 78% of cancer appointment trips, and 57% of general medical appointment trips, when compared to 2019 numbers.

“Emergency relief funding from the federal and provincial governments helped us maintain near-normal service levels, ensuring people had transportation for work and access to essential services,” said TransLink Interim CEO Gigi Chen-Kuo. “Our ability to provide fast, reliable and safe service throughout the pandemic has been crucial to B.C.’s recovery, particularly as the economy gradually reopens and more customers return to using transit regularly.” Top Ten Busiest Bus Routes 1. 99 Commercial/Broadway/UBC 2.

Erratically driven vehicle leads to seizure of loaded firearm, arrest of two males TWO men were arrested in the Abbotsford area when a loaded firearm was seized by officers with the Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET) of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit – BC’ (CFSEU-BC). On Wednesday, May 26, the UGET was conducting proactive enforcement patrols

in the Abbotsford area when they noticed a rental vehicle being driven erratically. UGET officers observed the vehicle as it traveled quickly, making a sudden turn down a residential street and pulling into a driveway. Both male occupants quickly exited the vehicle and were behaving suspiciously.

UGET officers detained the two males after identifying them as being involved in the Lower Mainland Gang Conflict. A subsequent search revealed a loaded handgun in the vehicle. Both males were arrested for firearms-related offences and later released pending further investigation.

Vancouver Police catch thief in the act, recover $20,000 in stolen goods VANCOUVER Police officers thwarted a breakin at a downtown sporting goods store Sunday morning and arrested the would-be thief as he allegedly tried to make off with more than $20,000 in merchandise. “Downtown retailers have already endured so much during the pandemic, with many struggling to stay afloat and others having to reduce staff to make ends meet,” said Sgt. Steve

Addison on Tuesday. “This stolen property was likely headed for sale on the black market. Fortunately, our officers responded quickly and acted decisively to catch this thief in the act and return the stolen goods to the store.” Two VPD constables were patrolling near Robson and Howe streets just before 8 a.m. Sunday when the alleged thief broke in to the store and set off an alarm. When

the officers arrived to investigate, they allegedly saw a man inside the store filling bags full of property. The suspect saw the officers and tried to run, but he was arrested nearby when other VPD officers intervened. The suspect, a 37-yearold Vancouver man with no fixed address, was already wanted BC-wide for two previous break and enters. He was taken to jail and now faces multiple new charges.

Congress accuses Modi of ‘annihilating all vestiges of free speech, thought and expression’ New Delhi (IANS): After WhatsApp filed a lawsuit against the Indian government in the Delhi High Court, saying that user privacy is in its DNA and requiring messaging apps to “trace” chats undermines people’s right to privacy, Congress has termed the social media rules issued by the government as “draconian” and said it’s “Modi government’s North Korean approach to free speech”. Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, senior spokesperson of the party, said, “The new intermediary rules issued by the Modi government are dire, drastic and draconian in nature. The issuance of new intermediary guidelines reflect that the BJP government is suffering from the ‘Big Daddy’ syndrome.” The Congress said the new rules are a severe blow to the vibrant culture of discourse, deliberation and dissent in India,

that the Modi government seeks to implement today, without recall or modification and despite unanimous condemnation from all segments of civil and political society. It is the “Modi government’s North Korean approach to free speech.” “Free speech and expression are like oxygen. Without it, humanity and democracy cannot survive. Having diminished the latter so much during COVID, we beseech the Modi government not to emasculate the former. Let us not forget that encryption is the technological backbone of privacy. This is particularly true of messaging apps, the most important subset of social media and digital platforms,” Singhvi said. He said it is an attempt by the Modi government to capture and subordinate every pillar and agency of freedom of thought and expression. Having successfully

done so in respect of constitutional and statutory bodies like CBI, ED, EC and several others, along with subjugation of the ‘Godi Media’, Singhvi said. “Modi ji has now turned his attention to social media and social media platforms to annihilate all vestiges of free speech, thought, and expression,” Singhvi added. The Congress leader said that the dictatorial regimes, including the North Korean one, would blush at the brazenness with which the Modi government has done so. The Modi-led BJP government’s pathshala should be the new go-to place for all dictators to hone their skills in controlling free speech and thought, he said. “When these Intermediary Rules were published on 25.05.2021, the heart and soul of their highly objectionable approach was reflected in Rule 4.” He said from today, Rule 4 obliges all social media platforms

to identify the first originator of the information, if so directed by the government under Rule 4(2). This introduces the requirement of traceability which would break end-to-end encryption. It should be noted that even previous proposals which seek to implement traceability in a manner which is supposedly compatible with end to end encryption have been shown to be vulnerable to spoofing where bad actors can falsely modify the originator information to frame an innocent person. The grounds for such draconian directions have deliberately been kept delightfully vague, including Rule 4(2) which allows an order to be passed “for the purposes of prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of an offence related to the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, or public order”, the Congress leader said.

should have saved his life, too. We lost a good person.” The newspaper said that Singh’s brother-in-law, P.J. Bath, who also works as a light rail operator, said that Singh was working the early shift. He said that Singh “was always helpful to everyone and caring.” The home of the shooter, maintenance worker Samuel James Cassidy, 57, went up in flames around the time the shooting began. The area around the train depot and station were put in a lockdown as law enforcement searched the area for bombs.

Mourning the deaths and the impact on families of the trade “union brothers and sisters,” President Joe Biden renewed his call for stricter gun laws in a country which sees frequent mass shootings. Just over the weekend, a mass shooting in New Jersey killed two people and injured several others. Officials said that Cassidy apparently killed himself. A motive for the shooting was not known as of Thursday morning, but San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said that his co-workers had “expressed generalised concerns about his mental health.”

Sikh man among 9 victims of mass shooting in California

New York (IANS): A Sikh, who saved at least one person in a California mass shooting, was among the nine people killed by a railway worker who killed himself in San Jose, according to officials. Taptejdeep Singh, 36, was shot on Wednesday at a railway yard in the city in California’s Silicon Valley, by a fellow worker, according to the local Sheriff’s Office. Singh was a train operator for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, a local light rail system. San Jose Mercury News quoted Singh’s brother, Bagga Singh, as saying that his brother “put a lady in a control room to hide. He saved

Taptejdeep Singh her and rushed down the stairway.” He said that although his brother may be considered a hero, “he

Committed to right to privacy, but need to maintain law and order: IT Minister counters WhatsApp New Delhi (IANS): As WhatsApp moves the Delhi High Court against the new rules for intermediaries saying they would violate privacy, Electronics and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has said the government is committed to the right to privacy, but simultaneously it also has to maintain law and order and ensure national security. Facebook-owned instant messenger WhatsApp, in a petition in Delhi High Court, said that enabling identification of the first originator of information on its platform in India puts end-to-end encryption and its benefits at risk, as it urged the court to pass direction to declare this requirement ultra vires the IT Act. “The Government of India is committed to ensure the Right of Privacy to all its citizens but at the same time it is also the responsibility of the government to maintain law and order and ensure national security,” an official statement quoted the IT Minister Prasad as saying. The statement said that the government respects the right of privacy and has no intention to violate it when WhatsApp is required to disclose the origin of a particular message. It however, added that as per all established judicial dictum, no fundamental right, including the right to privacy, is absolute and it is subject to reasonable restrictions. “The requirements in the Intermediary Guidelines pertaining to the first originator of information are

Ravi Shankar Prasad an example of such a reasonable restriction,” it said. Such requirements are only in case when the message is required for prevention, investigation or punishment of “very serious offences” related to the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign states, or public order, or of incitement to an offence relating to the above or in relation with rape, sexually explicit material or child sexual abuse material, it said. Moreover, such information can only be sought as per a process sanctioned by the law thereby incorporating sufficient legal safeguards. Prasad also assured that none of the measures proposed by India will impact the normal functioning

of WhatsApp in any manner whatsoever and for the common users, there will be no impact. The minister noted that it is in public interest that who started the mischief leading to such crime must be detected and punished. “We cannot deny as to how in cases of mob lynching and riots etc. repeated WhatsApp messages are circulated and recirculated whose content are already in public domain. Hence the role of who originated is very important,” it added. The minister also said: “The entire debate on whether encryption would be maintained or not is misplaced. Whether Right to Privacy is ensured through using encryption technology or some other technology is entirely the purview of the social media intermediary.” Prasad added that the Government of India is committed to ensuring Right of Privacy to all its citizens as well as have the means and the information necessary to ensure public order and maintain national security. It is WhatsApp’s responsibility to find a technical solution, whether through encryption or otherwise, that both happen, he said. “As a significant social media intermediary, WhatsApp seeks a safe harbour protection as per the provisions of the Information Technology Act. However, in a befuddling act, they seek to avoid responsibility and refuse to enact the very steps which permit them a safe harbour provision,” he said.

The minister who also holds the law portfolio said that the rules enacted by Indian government are not rules enacted in isolation but have global precedence. In July 2019, the governments of the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada issued a communique, concluding that “tech companies should include mechanisms in the design of their encrypted products and services whereby governments, acting with appropriate legal authority, can gain access to data in a readable and usable format.” Further, he noted that Brazilian law enforcement is looking for WhatsApp to provide suspects’ IP addresses, customer information, geo-location data and physical messages.’ “What India is asking for is significantly much less than what some of the other countries have demanded.” Therefore, he said that WhatsApp’s attempt to portray the Intermediary Guidelines of India as contrary to the right to privacy is misguided. On the contrary in India, privacy is a fundamental right subject to reasonable restrictions, Prasad said, adding that Rule 4(2) of the Guidelines is an example of such a reasonable restriction. It would be foolhardy to doubt the objective behind Rule 4(2) of the Intermediary Guidelines, which aims to protect law and order.

Subodh Jaiswal takes charge as new CBI chief New Delhi (IANS): Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Subodh Kumar Jaiswal on Wednesday took charge as the new Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He took charge a day after his name was cleared for the top post of the country’s premiere investigative agency. On Tuesday, in an order, the Department of Personnel and Training said: “The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has, based on the panel recommended by the Committee, approved the appointment of Subodh Kumar Jaiswal, IPS, (Maharashtra 1985) as Director, CBI, for a period of two years from the date of assumption of the charge of the office or until further orders whichever is earlier.” Jaiswal was appointed as CBI Director a day after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-headed committee including Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana and Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury discussed the names of the candidates for the new CBI chief. Before joining as the new director of CBI, Jaiswal was the Director General (DG) of the Central Industrial Security Force. He has also served as Maharashtra’s Director General of Police (DGP) and had a stint in In-

Subodh Jaiswal dia’s external intelligence agency, R&AW. The CBI had got an acting Director in the form of Praveen Sinha after the term of R.K. Shukla ended on February 3 this year. CBI spokesperson RC Joshi said that Jaiswal holds a Bachelor’s Degree in English (Honours), Economics and Political Science and Masters in Business Administration. He said that Jaiswal has served in his cadre holding various positions including Superinten-

dent of Police (SP) (Gadchiroli, Aurangabad and Osmanabad), Deputy Inspector General (DIG), In charge Special Investigation Team (SIT), Additional Commissioner of Police, Anti Terrorism Squad, Mumbai; Commissioner of Police, Central Range, Mumbai; Inspector General Of Police (IGP) Amravati Range and Commissioner of Police, Brihan Mumbai. He was DGP, Maharashtra for nearly two years from February, 2019 before joining the post of DG, CISF. Jaiswal has served in Close Protection Teams of the Prime Minister during his six-year tenure with Special Protection Group as AIG and DIG. He has also served in Cabinet Secretariat (Government of India) in various capacities for 10 years from June, 2008 to 2018. Jaiswal has vast experience in various fields like counter-terrorism (left wing extremism), handling VVIP security, etc., he said. Joshi said that Jaiswal is recipient of President Police Medal for Distinguished Services in 2009, Indian Police Medal for Meritorious Services in 2001, Internal Security Medal (government of India), Special Service Medal (government of Maharashtra) and Asadharan Suraksha Seva Praman Patra (ASSPP). He said that after taking charge as Director of

the CBI, Jaiswal was briefed by senior officers of CBI. The two candidates, who were said to be the front runners for the post of Director, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), were dropped after Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana cited a Supreme Court guideline on appointment of police chiefs. According to sources, Ramana pointed out the top court’s guidelines in the Prakash Singh case of March 2019, which made it clear that no officer with less than six months to retirement, should be appointed as police chief. The source said that the Ramana was insistent on this point, and he also got support from Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, which made the Prime Minister to follow his demand. With the citing of the SC order by the CJI, it was made clear that NIA chief Y.C. Modi, who is set to retire at the end of May and Rakesh Asthana, who is currently heading the BSF and all set to retire in July this year, were out of race for the top post of the CBI. Sources said that Y.C. Modi and Asthana were among the top contenders for the post of Director, CBI.

Priyanka slams removal of shrouds on Ganga banks Lucknow (IANS): The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is now facing flak for removal of saffron shrouds from shallow buried bodies in sand on the banks of rivers in Prayagraj. Sharing a video clip that showed workers pulling off saffron shrouds from the bodies buried in sand, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tweeted: "They were not given treatment while they were alive, they did not get dignity in their death and did

not find a place in the government data. "Now shrouds are being ripped off their bodies. What kind of a cleanliness drive is this? This is showing disrespect to the dead, to the religion and to humanity." The state government has come under severe criticism after a large number of bodies were found buried in shallow sand graves or washed up on the Ganga river banks in the state as peopke found it difficult to bear the expense of such cremation.

In Prayagraj, photos showed hundreds of bodies buried in the sand along the banks of Ganga as rain exposed shrouds. The discovery caused panic among people living in nearby areas as many complained that dogs were digging the graves and feeding on the bodies on river banks. A drone footage, shot by a foreign news agency, showed hundreds of bodies, separated by bamboo sticks and covered with saffron cloth, buried along the banks in

Prayagraj. Adityanath has asked officials for continued patrolling by water police of the State Disaster Response Force and Provincial Armed Constabulary around all the rivers of the state and asked to ensure that the bodies were not disposed of in water under any condition. To address the issue, the Uttar Pradesh government said it would take the help of religious leaders to create awareness among people not to dump bodies in the rivers.

Sidhu dares Amarinder Singh to prove he is ‘switching loyalty’ Chandigarh (IANS): With the Congress high command taking cognizance of the purported ‘anger’ of some of its senior leaders against the party-led Punjab government’s stand on the 2015 sacrilege case, its ‘vocal’ legislator Navjot Singh Sidhu last weekend dared Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to prove that the cricketer-turned-politician had met the leader of any other party to switch loyalty. “Prove one meeting that I have had with another party’s leader,” Sidhu dared the Chief Minister on Twitter. “I have never asked anyone for any post till date. All I seek is Punjab’s prosperity!! Was invited & offered Cabinet berths many times but I did not accept. Now, Our Esteemed High Command has intervened, Will wait...,” he added. The former Cabinet minister was replying to the recent assertion of

Navjot Sidhu and Amarinder Singh the Chief Minister that Sidhu is in talks with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and would quit the Congress. Two days ago, Sidhu had tweeted: “In 2019, I began & ended my Election Campaign in Punjab seeking Justice for Sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib Ji & punishing the culprits &

the ONE shielding them...Now, Our MLAs & Party Workers must go to Delhi & speak the Truth of Punjab to our High Command, as I regularly do!” It is learnt that interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have taken feedback on the

In a bitter war of words last week, Sidhu had advised the Chief Minister to stop firing from his “colleagues’ shoulders”. A defiant Sidhu had reminded Amarinder Singh that “his soul demands justice for Guru Sahib”. His reaction came after seven ministers had demanded the suspension of Sidhu from the party for indiscipline and launching verbal attacks on Amarinder Singh. The ministers urged the party high command to take action against Sidhu for his open rebellion against the state party leadership.

Congress. “If yes, then his continuing rant against his Chief Minister and the government amounts to gross indiscipline,” Amarinder Singh had said, adding that the Congress dissident ought to choose the side he is on because “he is indulging in breaking the discipline of the party, and the BJP won’t take him back and as far as the SAD is concerned, it is also peeved with him”. “Is sacrilege case not the top priority for the Home Minister,” Sidhu had asked the Chief Minister. Two persons were killed and many others were injured after the police under the previous SAD-BJP government resorted to unprovoked firing on hundreds of people protesting against the alleged desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib in Bargari village in Faridkot district in 2015.

Farmers protest against farm laws in Punjab, Haryana; observe ‘Black Day’ Chandigarh (IANS): Farmers protesting against the Centre’s three farm laws across Punjab and Haryana on Wednesday observed as a ‘Black Day’ to mark six months of the agitation. At most of the places, both in rural and urban areas, farmers staged protests against the controversial farm laws. They put up black flags atop their houses and burnt effigies of Central government leaders. In a Bhiwani village in Haryana, farmers burnt the effigy of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. Farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh have been protesting since November last year on Delhi borders against the agricultural laws. Heavy police presence could be seen at various places in Haryana and Punjab to maintain law and other in view of the protests. There was no report of any untoward incident from anywhere in the states. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), a former ally of the BJP, participated in the protest. “As the Kisan Andolan completes six months today, I again urge the Centre to deal compassionately with farmers and repeal the black laws,” said SAD President Sukhbir Badal, who hoisted a black flag atop his residence in his native village Badal in Punjab’s Bathinda district. A day earlier, Punjab Congress legislator Navjot Singh Sidhu hoisted a black flag at his ancestral residence in Patiala town. Appealing to every Punjabi to support the farmers, Sidhu, accompanied by his wife Navjot Kaur, in a video posted on his Twitter handle, said: “From the past three decades, Indian farmers are worried due to rising debts and dropping income. “Farmers have been lied to, and now these new black laws have proved to be the last nail in the coffin. “I protest against these laws, and stand in solidarity with my father and brothers.” The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of over 40 farmer unions, had announced it would observe May 26 as ‘black day’ to mark six months of their protest at Delhi’s borders against the farm laws. Farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal had appealed to people to raise black flags at their houses, vehicles and shops on May 26 to lodge the protest. Sidhu’s protest was contrary to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s stand who urged the state’s prominent farm union the BKU (Ekta-Ugrahan) not to go ahead with their proposed sit-in protest, which could turn into a “super-spreader of the contagion” amidst the pandemic. He said his government was the first to pass amendment laws in the state Assembly to negate the farm laws.

Chandigarh (IANS): Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday said Punjab needed speedy vaccination to win the fight against COVID-19 and requested Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to make a special allocation of Rs 10,000 million to purchase vaccines. He also called for giving a monthly pension of Rs 6,000 to all families who had lost their breadwinners to COVID-19, besides free education to COVID-19 orphans as well as waiving off power and water bills for all sections of society for a six month period.

Chandigarh (IANS): Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Thursday announced extension of the restrictions in the state till June 10, but ordered the limit on the number of passengers in personal vehicles to be removed in view of decline in the positivity and number of active COVID-19 cases. The Chief Minister also directed the resumption of elective surgeries in both government and private hospitals, as well restoration of OPD [out patient department] operations at all government hospitals in the state in view of the improvement in the overall COVID-19 situation. The elective surgeries were stopped from April 12 to ensure adequate availability of beds and oxygen for serious COVID-19 cases, but the Chief Minister has now allowed these to be resumed, subject to the condition that there shall, for the present, be no reduction in beds for L3 patients in the hospital. Medical Education Minister O.P. Soni said three government medical colleges have already started 50 per cent OPD operations, which will soon be scaled up to 100 per cent.

Sukhbir Badal asks Chief Minister to ensure vaccines for all

Sukhbir Badal The SAD President told the media here that Amarinder Singh should not look at the Centre

alone for vaccines but should use state funds to source them quickly on the pattern of the

Shiromani committee which had procured Covaxin doses within one week of placing the order. He said even a corporation like the Mumbai one had purchased vaccine doses worth Rs 6,000 million to vaccinate the entire city in one go. “If need be, the Chief Minister should call an emergency meeting of the state Cabinet to clear the proposal for speedy procurement of vaccine doses,” he said. Badal said simultaneously the government should make necessary preparations to cope with an expected third COV-

ID-19 wave. “The state needs to order at least 2,000 ventilators and install them within three months along with hiring the necessary staff to man them.” He said this was of utmost importance because 17 out of 22 districts did not have ventilator facilities. The SAD President also maintained that Punjab could fight the war against COVID-19 effectively if the Chief Minister and all his ministers led from the front. “Sadly, this has been missing till now and that it why Punjab has witnessed 4,000 deaths in the last three months alone.”

Punjab extends COVID-19 curbs till June 10

On the issue of restrictions, the Chief Minister said it had been decided to continue with the curbs on the advice of experts. He clarified that while the limit on personal cars and twowheelers was being removed as these are used mainly by family members and close friends, those on commercial passenger vehicles and taxis shall continue to be in place at present. The Deputy Commissioners will also continue to be empowered to make any adjustments in opening of non-essential shops as are merited by local conditions, he said. Asserting that the state could not afford to be lax despite some easing of the situation, the Chief Minister directed the Health and Medical Education Departments to continue strengthening the COVID-19 care infrastructure and facilities to deal with a possible third wave of the pandemic. He asked them to invest also in augmenting paediatric care and to seek 500 paediatric ventilators from the government of India. The meeting was informed all 809 ventilators received ear-

lier under the PM Cares Fund had been distributed and 136 of them were not working. The Chief Minister also ordered creation of more technical and specialists posts to meet the demands of the possible third wave. Dr Raj Bahadur informed the meeting that the recruitment of doctors and nurses had been almost completed, while the process for procurement of equipment for the makeshift hospitals had also started. Taking strong note of overcharging by some private hospitals, the Chief Minister warned that profiteering and fleecing of patients amid such a crisis will not be allowed at any cost. He directed the Health and Medical Education Departments to ensure that hospitals display huge boards at the entrance displaying rates. Reviewing the COVID-19 situation with top health experts and officials, as well as police and administrative officers, Amarinder Singh directed close and continuous monitoring of high risk individuals and pregnant women in home isolation through special teams.

Given the comfortable oxygen situation in the state currently, the Chief Minister also directed that oxygen may now be allowed to be used for essential non-medical purposes, with a three-day buffer stock of medical oxygen, however, to be maintained at all times. He noted with satisfaction that oxygen concentrator banks were now present in every district for post- COVID-19

care patients who have a doctor’s prescription. The Chief Minister also ordered ramping up of testing and sampling in the rural areas to ensure early identification and treatment of infected persons, as part of the ‘Corona Mukt Pendu Abhiyan’. He expressed satisfaction that almost 14 million individuals (3.7 million households) had already been screened in

Badal also requested the Central government not to levy GST on vaccines, saying it should not try to earn money from the sale of vaccines. He also called for doing away with GST from ventilators and life-saving drugs needed to treat COVID-19. Badal also requested the Punjab government to ensure all 400 martyrs of the Kisan Andolan be given adequate compensation as well as government jobs. He said right now only 189 farmers had been given a compensation of Rs 500,000 each and none of the affected families had been offered government jobs.

these areas. Health minister Balbir Sidhu said the situation in the rural areas was bad mainly because people were going to hospitals late. Health Secretary Hussan Lal said the positivity rate in rural areas was four per cent with people there shying from testing and coming forward only when faced with severe symptoms.

Director/writer Robert Macholan succeeds in creating a very dark atmosphere and emotional rollercoaster of mental strain resulting in frustration and violence. Somewhat slow to parallel the pain more uncertainly develops with a murder or two begging the question what’s real and what’s imagined which leads to confusion and added uncertainty.

Jeep® Wrangler named Vincentric Best Value winner for a third time Windsor, Ontario: For the third time, Jeep® Wrangler has been recognized with a Best Value in Canada Award in the Compact SUV/ Crossover segment by Vincentric. U.S.-based Vincentric has more than a decade of experience in automotive industry data analysis. This is the 10th year of its Best Value in Canada awards. To pick its winners, Vincentric scrutinizes objective data on vehicles in each segment of the market, factoring in everything from the cost of insurance and repair, to fuel consumption, maintenance and depreciation. “Wrangler is an absolutely iconic vehicle and the best-selling Jeep model in Canada,” said David Buckingham, President and CEO, FCA Canada . “Along with being the most capable and recognized vehicle in the world, Wrangler’s success can also be attributed to its strong retained value and low cost of opera-

tion. Those are major factors in Canadians’ vehicle buying decisions, which this Vincentric award highlights for a third time.” Wrangler provides unmatched off-road capability and is produced with 80 years of 4x4 engineering experience. It continues to offer a body-on-frame design, front and rear fivelink suspension system, solid axles, electronic lockers and is one of the few SUVs to offer a

six-speed manual transmission in addition to its available eight-speed automatic. A multitude of technology features, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and safety features, such as Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection, adaptive cruise control and Forward Collision Warning-Plus, further Wrangler’s appeal. Powertrain options include a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with engine stop-start (ESS) technology, a 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 with ESS and mild-hybrid eTorque technology and, for four-door Wrangler models, an available 3.0-litre EcoDiesel engine with ESS. New for 2021, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid is the most technically advanced and eco-friendly Wrangler yet, delivering new levels of efficiency, environmental responsibility, performance and capability on- and off-road.

Wrangler 4xe’s advanced turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, two electric motors and robust TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission combine to deliver average fuel economy of 4.8 Le/100 km (59 MPG). 4xe boasts 375 horsepower and delivers up to 35 kilometres of pure electric operation for daily commutes while providing nearly silent, zeroemission open-air freedom without range anxiety. Total range is 592 kilometres. “The Jeep Wrangler had the lowest maintenance costs of any Compact SUV/Crossover, which was a key factor in the Wrangler’s third-time win in its segment,” said Vincentric President, David Wurster. “The Wrangler performed strongly for 2021 and proved its bestin-class value by outperforming 16 competitor vehicles.” Wrangler previously won a Vincentric Award for Best Value in Canada in 2015 and 2018.

Confirmed: A little harder to buy a house effective June 1 As anticipated, Canada’s banking watchdog, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), confirmed on May 20th that the mortgage stress test for those with uninsured mortgages will increase from 4.79% to 5.25% on June 1. Soon after, Canada’s Department of Finance confirmed it will follow OSFI’s lead and apply the same qualifying rate to insured mortgages. What does this change mean for your clients? It means any Canadian purchasing a home – whether they’re putting down 20% or more (uninsured) as a down payment, or less than 20% (insured) – will have to prove they can handle a mortgage rate of 5.25%. This also applies to anyone who is refinancing. For anyone with an accepted offer on a home or a mortgage approval dated prior to June 1st, the existing stress test of 4.79% applies. Why the change? It’s due to concern about unsustainable house prices and growing household debt. OSFI believes that the change will help ensure that Canadians can still afford to service their debt should the economy change, and interest rates increase.

Manufacturers Of Quality Cabinetry

Is this a big deal? According to Brendon Ogmundson, BCREA’s Chief Economist, the change is unlikely to have much of an impact on the majority of buyers. It will reduce purchasing power by 4 to 5 percent. However, first-time home buyers, will likely experience further difficulty in trying to enter the market. In an exclusive Q &amp; A with FVREB Communications immediately following OSFI’s initial announcement in April regarding the intention to strengthen the stress test, Ogmundson revealed that this change is likely a preview of more cooling measures to come.

COMMON SENSE HEALTH – W. GIFFORD-JONES, MD AND DIANA GIFFORD-JONES

How diet and inflammation affect colon cancer

IT’S been said “We are what we eat,” or “garbage in garbage out.” Less catchy advice might be “Eat an anti-inflammatory diet, rather than a pro-inflammatory one.” It could make the difference in the likelihood of developing a malignancy of the large bowel. Not many people realize that if you take away skin cancers, colon cancer is the third most common malignancy in North America. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Oncology, points out a strong association between chronic inflammation and the risk of colon cancer. Researchers at Harvard University discovered that people who had dietary patterns that triggered chronic inflammation were 32 percent more likely to develop colon cancer than those who followed a lowered inflammatory diet. Dr. Joel Mason, Director of the Vitamins and Carcinogenesis Laboratory, Tufts University, says, “This study adds to previous evidence that inflammation is an important factor in colon cancer and that a diet with less potential to cause inflammation can decrease the risk.” How did Harvard researchers determine what foods were associated with inflammation and what foods fought it? They analyzed the health and nutrition habits of 120,000 people over a 26-year period. This involved 18 food groups and tracking how they affected inflammatory markers in the blood. Diets with the lowest level of inflammatory potential were tea, coffee, dark yellow vegetables, dark and leafy greens. In contrast, diets with the highest level of inflammation included processed meat, red meat and sugar-sweetened carbonized beverages. Overweight or obese males did not fare well. They were 48 percent more likely to develop cancer of the colon over the course of the study than those who consumed a low inflammatory diet. But even lean males were at higher risk, although not as much as the obese ones. What about women? It’s strange that being overweight or obese did not increase or decrease the risk of colon malignancy in females. But in lean women who had the most pro-inflammatory diet, there was a 31 percent greater risk of colon cancer than those who consumed the least inflammatory diet. Researchers were not certain if these findings were related to hormonal changes in women. So, what’s the message? It pays dividends to stay active and not gain weight. This is not the first time nutritionists have told us that leafy green vegetables are more conducive to a longer life and it’s prudent to decrease the amount of red meat consumed. Hopefully it will help make everyone realize that the use of sugar sweetened beverages is not a healthy habit. An equally strong message remains that North Americans are needlessly dying from colon cancer due to a fear of having a colonoscopy performed. We know that colon cancer begins in a polyp that remains localized, providing ample time for colonoscopy and removable of this lesion. This procedure should be done regularly starting at 50 years of age or younger, and usually ending at 75 years. Discuss with your doctor whether this is the age for you to end colonoscopy. If several colonoscopies have been done

over the years without any polyps being detected, the decision is usually to stop. The reason being that it’s unlikely one will form after the age of 75 and if it does some other event will end life long before a slow growing polyp causes trouble. The discomfort of colonoscopy is miniscule to the suffering of terminal colon cancer. For those dead set against the procedure, stool card tests done at home are an option. So, never, never, fall into the trap of skipping these life-saving tests. Sign-up at www.docgiff.com to receive our weekly e-newsletter. For comments, contact-us@docgiff.com.
