Trudeau said: “Canadians need a strong and diverse Cabinet to deliver on their priorities and keep Canada moving forward for everyone. This team will finish the fight against COVID‑19, deliver on $10‑a‑day child care, help Canadians find a

home of their own, tackle the climate crisis, and continue to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Together, we will work tirelessly to build a better future for all Canadians.”

Horgan undergoes surgery to remove growth in throat PREMIER John Horgan on Thursday revealed that he will undergo surgery on Friday to remove a growth in his throat.

Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth is being appointed as Deputy Premier “as support, if needed.”

Horgan said in a statement: “After noticing a lump in my neck, I went to the doctor to get a number of tests over the past few weeks.

Those tests have revealed a growth in my throat that requires surgery tomorrow. Any further treatment will be determined after the surgery.

“We have a lot of work to do to support British Columbians through this pandemic and beyond, and I’m proud of the dedication shown by our cabinet and caucus to that work.

“Out of an abundance of caution, Minister Mike Farnworth is being appointed as Deputy Premier along with his other duties.

Minister Farnworth is respected on all sides,

for his incredible public service since being elected to the legislature 30 years ago.

“Mike will be there as support, if needed, but I will continue in all my roles as Premier, head of the executive council, the current chair of the Council of the Federation.

“I have been here before and I am not alone. People all around the province receive news like this every day.

“My message to all British Columbians is, please don’t wait. If you are concerned about something, don’t put it off. Go see a doctor, go to an urgent and primary care centre to get it checked out as soon as you can.”

John Horgan

SHIRLEY Bond, Interim Leader of the Official Opposition, said in a statement: “I have known John Horgan for nearly two decades.

We have both served British Columbians here in the Legislature for a very long time.

Today’s news comes as a shock to all of us.

“These are the times to set aside politics and focus on the personal. This is about people who care about one another, because nothing is more important than health and family.

“On behalf of the entire BC Liberal Caucus and all of my colleagues, I want to send our best wishes to John Horgan and his family.

“You are in our thoughts as we all wish for the best possible outcomes in the medical journey that lies ahead.

“I look forward to the day when a completely health Premier Horgan returns to the Legislature. I know that the debate at that time will be as vigorous as ever.

“In the meantime, you will be in our thoughts and prayers.”

We at The VOICE wish the Premier the very best and a speedy recovery.

World Sikh Organization condemns racist graffiti targeting Calgary gurdwara THE World Sikh Organization of Canada on Tuesday condemned the racist vandalism on the road leading to the Sikh Society of Calgary that was reported to police on Monday. The racist graffiti included insulting language directed at turbans.

This is the second time the Sikh Society of Gurdwara has been targeted for racist graf-

fiti. In December 2016, the gurdwara walls were defaced with a swastika and profanity.

Ironically, Jyoti Gondek, who comes from a Sikh background, was sworn in as Mayor of Calgary on Monday. Gondek joins Amarjeet Sohi in Edmonton as the first Sikh mayors of major cities in Canada.

WSO President and Calgary resident, Tejinder Singh Sidhu, said: “It is disappointing to once again see racist vandalism at the Sikh Society of Calgary gurdwara. It’s ironic that the incident comes the same day Alberta saw two Sikhs, Jyoti Gondek and Amarjeet Sohi, become the mayors of its two largest cities, Calgary and Edmon-

ton, respectively.

“While this incident is concerning, we are even more concerned by a rising number of hate-motivated crimes targeting Sikhs across Canada. We encourage community members to remain vigilant and report any such incidents to local authorities as well as to the WSO.”

South Asian young men who used turbans to rescue stranded men in Golden Ears Provincial Park honoured by RCMP THE Ridge Meadows RCMP on Tuesday presented awards to five young South Asian men — Ajay Kumar, Arvindjeet Singh, Gagandeep Singh, Gurpreet Singh and Kuljinder Singh — who rescued two men stranded on a steep rocky slope near rushing river water near the Lower Falls in Golden Ears Provincial Park.

The five men, who had gone hiking, re-

moved their personal turban headwear, tying them and their jackets together as a makeshift rope to save the helpless men, the RCMP said.

The Officer in Charge of Ridge Meadows RCMP, Superintendent Wendy Mehat, and Inspector Jayson Lucash praised the men for their quick thinking and heroic action and presented them the Community Leadership Awards. The five appreciated the RCMP honouring them for their action.

These are actually the first of the new awards that the Ridge Meadows RCMP have designed for those in the community who have done something above and beyond in service to others, Constable Julie Klaussner told The VOICE.

Ottawa woman charged for removing another woman’s hijab OTTAWA Police Service frontline officers, assisted by the Hate and Bias Crime Unit, charged a woman following an assault incident that occurred on October 6.

At approximately 4:15 p.m., a woman was walking on Hinton Avenue North near Armstrong Street when she was randomly assaulted by an unknown woman who forcefully removed her hijab. The attacker then fled on foot.

Frontline patrol officers attended the scene but were not able to locate the suspect at the time.

Investigators of the Hate and Bias Crime

Unit were able to later identify the suspect.

Now they have charged the 62-year-old woman of Ottawa with: * Hate-motivated assault * Hate-motivated mischief Any evidence to support a hate motivation offence is to be presented during sentencing.

She had already been detained on an outstanding matter. She is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

The Ottawa Police said it has zero tolerance for hate-motivated incidents and will fully investigate any report that is filed.

People 70+ who are registered in the Get Vaccinated System, as well as Indigenous Peoples 12+, will soon be invited to book their booster, which will help maintain protection against COVID-19. Booster doses are underway for other priority groups, including residents of long-term care and assisted living facilities and vulnerable people living in shelters or high-risk congregate settings, and are in use as part of outbreak management.

“Our vaccines are highly effective. However, we are starting to see a gradual decline in protection over time. As a result, we are taking the proactive step of expanding boosters to everyone in our province,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer. “We’re starting with the people who need them most to continue to do all we can to keep people in B.C. safe from this virus and its variants.”

As was the case with the first and second doses, the timing of invitations is based on risk and age (beginning oldest to youngest), with an interval of between six to eight months from the second dose.

“People at highest risk of serious illness will go first, and I encourage everyone to get their vaccines, first dose, second dose and booster when it is time, to protect the ones we love the most and to put this pandemic behind us.”

Boosters will be delivered in health authority public-health community clinics and by participating pharmacies around the province. As with Dose 1 and 2, people who are registered with the Get Vaccinated System will receive an invitation to book their booster shot when it’s their turn. People can use their invitation to schedule their booster appointment in health authority clinics or at participating pharmacies.

The call centre will also continue to be available for those who can’t book online. Walk-ins are not available for booster shots.

“This continues to be the largest and most complex immunization program in our province’s history. With every dose we administer, we’re keeping ourselves, our families, and our communities safer,” said Dr. Penny Ballem, Head of B.C.’s Immunization Program. “As it always has, B.C.’s immunization plan will consider people’s different needs and different ways of accessing information and will ensure nobody eligible to receive the booster dose is left behind.”

Health authorities will once again schedule whole-of-community immunization clinics in collaboration with the First Nation Health Authority (FNHA) to provide boosters to rural and remote Indigenous communities. Indigenous Peoples in urban settings will also be offered vaccines through health authority clinics, pharmacies or in their local communities with assistance from FNHA. Vaccinations for children five to 11 are subject to Health Canada approval and are anticipated to be coming soon. The vaccine program for children ages five to 11 will draw on a separate supply of vaccine designed for children and will be delivered in parallel to the booster program. In the meantime, parents can register their child now in advance at: getvaccinated. gov.bc.ca Quick Facts * As of October 25, 90,425 third doses had been administered in B.C. * Individuals will be offered a booster dose between six months to eight months after Dose 2. * All booster doses will be mRNA vaccines.

Those who received AstraZeneca for the first or second dose will receive Moderna or Pfizer for the booster. * Health authorities and pharmacies will continue to focus on flu clinics through the fall, in addition to delivering COVID-19 boosters, as well as planning for the anticipated approval of vaccines for five-to-11-year-olds (Dose 1 and 2). * More than 90% of British Columbians are registered in B.C.’s Get Vaccinated system.

Jagmeet Singh calls on Trudeau to reverse cuts to help for people NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on Thursday called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to get back to work before November 22 and reverse his decision to take away help for Canadians to get through the pandemic in the middle of the fourth wave.

“Families across the country, particularly in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories, are struggling right now – the pandemic isn’t over. Just because there are no longer lock downs across the country doesn’t mean everything is back to normal. There are

so many people who are still unable to return to work or provide for their families because of the pandemic,” said Singh.

“Justin Trudeau said he would have Canadians’ backs for as long as it took but he gave only 48 hours’ notice before slashing the help they depend on. They deserve much better than that.”

Singh noted that at least 900,000 people discovered last week that their benefits would be eliminated and replaced with a patchwork solution, but details still need to be re-

Jagmeet Singh

leased and it’s unclear if those people would even be eligible. New Democrats have committed to push to extend help for people like the CRB (Canada Recovery Benefit) until we are no longer in a pandemic.

“In the past week, we’ve heard from hundreds of Canadians across the country who are devastated by the Liberal government’s decision to cut their support. Some people are facing eviction from their homes, others are afraid they can’t afford enough food for their families. These are not choices people should have to face,” said Singh.

“Justin Trudeau needs to recall Parliament and get help these people. And New Democrats are going to keep pushing him to actually keep his campaign promise to be there for Canadians and deliver the help they desperately need.”

FOUR NDP MLAs tasked with upholding people’s access to government information are choosing to sit silently while their boss Premier John Horgan rams through his controversial Bill 22 legislation that strips away their right to know, the BC Liberals noted on Thursday.

The four NDP MLAs who sit on the Special Committee to Review the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) include Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA and committee chair Rick Glumac, North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Susie Chant, Burnaby North MLA Janet Routledge, and Richmond South Centre MLA Henry Yao. The committee is mandated to conduct a review of FOIPPA once every six years but has yet to begin this work apart from a 2-minute housekeeping meeting on August 23, 2021, that lasted from 10:38 a.m. to 10:40 a.m.

“It is completely astounding that John Horgan is sidestepping the committee tasked solely with reviewing FOIPPA legislation. It is even more concerning that all four NDP MLAs on this committee have no objections to their government undermining the important work of the committee,” said Opposition Critic for Citizens’ Services Bruce Banman. “None of them uttered so much as a word in the debate on an Official Opposition amendment that would have let that work continue. Instead, the four NDP MLAs

shamefully voted against it without any attempt to explain their reasoning. The irony must not be lost on British Columbians that the NDP MLAs responsible for reviewing and maintaining freedom of information have been muzzled by the Premier as he dismantles key sections of the Act meant to ensure government transparency.”

Calls to scrap the contentious Bill 22, which allows the B.C. government to gather more personal information from its citizens while simultaneously limiting the public’s access to government documents and information, continue to grow throughout the province. The rising outcry has resulted in a letter by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia condemning several sections of the bill, as well as a letter by a coalition of 20 organizations — including the BC General Employees’ Union, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, and the Canadian Association of Journalists — calling for the withdrawal of Bill 22.

When pressed during Question Period as to when the committee may sit again, Rick Glumac indicated that it would be “within the next few weeks.” However, a check of the legislative calendar indicates the committee’s upcoming calendar is empty.

BCTF President Teri Mooring, commenting on vaccination rates and vaccine mandates, said: “From the beginning, BC teachers have been doing their part to keep their students and schools safe. We have known anecdotally that vaccine uptake among teachers was extremely high, and can now confirm that 94% of teachers are fully vaccinated, with another 1% partially vaccinated and intending to get their second dose. We’ve also confirmed that 82% of BC teachers support a province-wide vaccine mandate for all adults working in our schools. Any vaccine mandate in K to 12 must be province-wide, a district by district patchwork approach does not make sense.”

Regarding mental health, and health and safety, she said: “Once again, we’re seeing clear ties between health and safety and teacher mental health, with 79% saying their mental health has worsened over the course of the pandemic.

These responses are particularly significant as this is the third survey that has shown the same result over two school years. Our detailed analysis that is underway will confirm the extent of these correlations, but can report at this time that only 46% of teachers feel safe at work and 71% don’t feel they’re getting enough informa-

Teri Mooring tion about COVID-19 cases and exposures in their schools and districts. We have consistently heard that this lack of transparency has been a significant source of anxiety and stress for parents and teachers alike.”

On ventilation, Mooring said: “Transparency around that quality of ventilation in BC schools remains a concern for many teachers, with 62% reporting that they have not received adequate information about ventilation in their school.

We’ve been calling on the Ministry to prioritize public reporting of this data since last school year, yet we’re only recently beginning to see a handful of localized ventilation reports start to trickle out.”

Four key themes from the results: 1. There are ongoing gaps in measures to keep everyone safe in BC schools. The survey found roughly equal amounts of members who feel safe and unsafe.

2. The pandemic has negatively affected teachers’ well-being and mental health.

3. The experience of teaching during a pandemic is exacerbating already acute recruitment and retention challenges.

4. BC teachers are doing their part to keep everyone safe with very high vaccination rates.

Key findings about health and safety: 46% of BCTF members report that they feel safe at work. Nearly the same amount (42%) report not feeling safe at work.

53% of teachers feel that the frequency of cleaning/sanitation in schools is inadequate for helping reduce the spread of COVID-19.

62% of members do not feel that they have received adequate information about the quality of ventilation in schools.

71% of teachers feel that they have not received adequate information about COVID-19 exposures and the number of cases in their school and district.

Key findings about COVID-19 vaccination rates for teachers: Vaccination rates are very high among BC public school teachers – 94% of teachers are fully vaccinated.

Only 2% of BCTF members reported that they are not vaccinated. A further 2% did not answer the question and 1% said they are partially vaccinated and intend to get their second dose.

The rate of vaccination for teachers is higher than the general population in every region of the province, including the North and Interior, where teachers are significantly more likely to be vaccinated than the general population.

The survey also found that a potential COVID-19 vaccine mandate in public schools is broadly supported by a significant majority of teachers in BC. Overall, 82% of teachers agreed that all adults working in BC schools should be vaccinated.

Key findings about the pandemic’s impact on teachers: 27% of BC teachers report that the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has made it more likely that they will leave teaching within the next two years.

79% of teachers report that their mental health has worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The BCTF will publish a more detailed final report of the survey in the coming days. It said it will use the data in its ongoing advocacy and lobbying with the government, health authorities, Public Health Officer, and school districts.

People across the province whose jobs are connected directly to our forests and natural resources, to agricultural, and to the energy sector are increasingly aware of the changes underway.

In 2017, it was very clear that we needed to prepare for a new future, a future built on strength of the economy and the health of communities.

The Roadmap completes the CleanBC plan and a set of actions which we have been introducing over the last two years. A number of these actions are showing signs of early success. We are five years ahead of schedule in the transition to zero emission vehicles. We have expanded BC’s electric vehicle charging stations. We helped expand public transit across B.C., including the addition of 52 new SkyTrain cars in Metro Vancouver, while continuing to support BC Transit and TransLink’s plans to transition

Vancouver Police immediately launched an investigation.

“After security footage from the building was shared by a media outlet on Wednesday, someone who recognized the suspects called Vancouver Police,” said Visintin. “Thanks to the tip from the public, officers were able to track down the suspects and recover the bikes.”

Two men in their 30s have been arrested. The investigation remains active and ongoing.

Here’s what you need to know about banking in Canada WHETHER you’re immigrating to Canada to start a new life, a new job or to study, arriving in a new country often feels overwhelming. There are many factors to consider including where to live, how to find housing, securing employment and how to navigate your new city. And for some newcomers, navigating a new financial system may be the most challenging part.

“Your new life in Canada is filled with opportunities as well as more than just a few unknowns,” said Frank Psoras, Senior Vice President, Money-In Solutions at TD. “But as you adjust to your new home it’s important to remember that you’re not alone - there are a number of tools and resources to help you feel more confident as you settle into your life in Canada. We’re ready to help you get there.”

Building a trusted network to help you navigate and understand common questions — including questions on banking — may help you get established faster. While starting your Canadian financial journey may seem overwhelming, here are a few tips to help get you started: 1. What are the basics of banking in Canada?

Here are a few common terms to familiarize yourself with: • Chequing account: A chequing account is a spending account that you can use every day to pay bills or for day to day purchases.

• Savings account: This bank account generally pays interest on the money you deposit in it.

• Interac e-Transfer®: Once you have a Canadian bank account, Interac e-Transfer® allows you to send money within Canada to a person or a business. All you need is an email address, or a valid Canadian mobile number – and an eligible bank account with a participating Canadian financial institution.

• Debit card: A card that gives you access to your deposit (chequing or savings) account.

It’s used to withdraw money directly from your bank account and/or pay for purchases you make at a retailer.

• Credit card: A credit card is a type of loan that you’re required to apply for. If you’re

• Send money for cash pick up at a Western Union® agent location: You can send money directly from your eligible TD account for cash pick up3 at more than 500,000 Western Union* agent locations in over 200 destination countries and territories, that way your loved ones can pick up your international money transfer conveniently, and typically in as little as 2-4 hours.4 5. I want to open a bank account - what should I bring with me to the bank?

Anyone can open a bank account in Canada if they meet the identification requirements.

approved, you’ll receive a credit limit. The limit is different for every individual. When you use your credit card, you must repay at least a minimum amount every month.

• Cheque: A cheque lets you take out money from your chequing account if you want to make a payment to a person or company.

2. How do I choose the right financial institution?

An important early step when establishing yourself in your new country is familiarizing yourself with how key processes work, including the local banking system by taking time to learn about different financial institutions, the services they offer and how they may meet your needs.

Things you might consider are whether or not they provide service in your native language, offer convenient hours such as evenings and weekends, have a physical branch that’s close to you and offer a user-friendly digital banking experience.

“Every new Canadian has their own set of needs when it comes to what they’re looking for from their financial institution. Many will start by doing their research online,” adds Psoras. “Whether you’re planning on moving to Canada, have just arrived or are settling in, the TD Banking for Newcomers in Canada website is a simple and convenient

PRIME LOCATION FOR LEASE

way to help new Canadians feel more confident as they go through one of the biggest milestones of their life.”

3. How do I get started building my credit history in Canada?

Building and eventually maintaining a strong credit history in Canada is a way to help ensure a healthy financial outlook, so it’s important to practice good financial habits from the beginning of your move. You can start building a credit history by applying for a Canadian credit card through your bank and by paying your bills on-time and in full each month. Using credit responsibly helps you establish a strong credit score and is a powerful way to help ensure you meet your financial goals.

4. How can I still support my family back home when I’m in Canada?

Starting a new life in a new country while maintaining financial ties to loved one’s back home is important for many new Canadians. You can support your family back home by sending money through TD Global TransferTM.

THE Surrey Fire Service is encouraging everyone to have a fun and safe Halloween by following some simple safety precautions. * Fireworks: Fireworks are hazardous to those who are lighting them and to the surrounding area based on the fallout of the burning materials. In The City of Surrey, fireworks are not allowed to be sold or discharged without a valid Fire Department permit and a Federal Fireworks Supervisor Certificate. * COVID-19: Don’t trick-or-treat, hand out treats, or go to a party if you are feeling ill (even if symptoms are mild). If you can, knock instead of pushing doorbells and carry hand sanitizer for use after touching things like doorbells or railings. * Dangerous Décor: Jack-o-lanterns maybe a time-honored tradition, but they also represent a fire hazard. Instead of using a candle inside of the Jack-o-

lantern, use a small flashlight or battery powered candle. * Don’t Blow It: Check indoor and outdoor decorative lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires or loose connections. Do not overload extension cords. * Costume Considerations: When selecting this year’s Halloween costume, pick brightly coloured costumes that can be clearly seen by motorists and do not choose costumes with long flowing skirts, capes, or baggy sleeves as they can be hazardous around ignition sources. * Light the way: Make sure everyone in the Halloween trick-or-treating party has a flashlight. This will help make you more visible to motorists and others.

When in doubt, stay in well-lit areas and only visit homes with their lights turned on.

Hospital Foundation’s growth. Her original, innovative research has propelled our relationships with our donors, partners and communities to ensure every dollar the Foundation receives has the greatest impact on the betterment of community health,” says Jane Adams, President and CEO of Surrey Hospitals Foundation.

“We are so incredibly proud of Azra and her daughter’s achievements. It is such a great female empowerment story to have a winning mother-daughter team who show strength, resilience and fearlessness to inspire more women in the generations to come.”

Azra is a gifted leader, bringing more than 20 years of executive experience to her role as Chief Operating Officer at the Foundation.

With her Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) and Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE) professional designations, Azra brings a unique skill set to her responsibilities of financial oversight, fundraising, talent management and operations to the Foundation. She also believes in lifelong learning and advancing the power of collaboration that allows for innovation and advancement at both an individual and team level.

She sits on the Board of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver and the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), volunteers with the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy’s (AHP) International Conference Committee and the Diversity, Equity,

Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Task Force, Surrey Board of Trade’s Women In Business team and the local Tax Clinic to assist lowincome groups with their annual personal tax filing.

Born in India, Azra’s story spans from immigration, integration to an inclusion journey.

Her unwavering courage to overachieve and excel, give back to the community, and become a role model for young future leaders continues to inspire many including her two children, both of whom are already experienced TEDx speakers. Her life’s story has built the base for her commitment to being a role model in resilience.

“My father instilled in me the importance of charity and giving back to our communities, and it’s a virtue that I’ve taken with me throughout my career including my work at the Foundation,” says Azra. “It is an honour, privilege and incredibly proud mom moment to be part of the same awards as my daughter; to see her make her own successes and achievements by being a positive influence and making a difference in the path she takes.”

In 2015 at the age of 15, Azra’s daughter Hebah started the Youth for Care initiative, a not-for-profit youth group that organizes fundraisers and raises awareness for Surrey Memorial Hospital, and fosters connections between youth and the hospital.

Now, at the age of 22 with a BSc Integrated Science degree from UBC, Hebah is already a TEDx and BC Tech Summit speaker, community leader and advocate, who is passionate about supporting youth STEAM education.

She is the Surrey coordinator of the Science World Future Science Leaders program, an after-school STEAM enrichment program for teens designed to unleash creative potential and build a life-long network of like-minded peers.

Hebah has contributed and led initiatives to encourage youth participation in STEAM activities through partnerships with Science World, Surrey Memorial Hospital, the City of Surrey, Health and Technology District and the University of British Columbia. Hebah is a strong believer in investing in the future generation, and advocates for equal opportunities for youth to pursue STEAM careers.

Stay safe while having a spooktacular Halloween Misuse of fireworks can lead to criminal charges

SURREY RCMP are sharing safety tips with the community to ensure everyone has a safe fun-filled Halloween.

Halloween night is traditionally a busy night for trick-or-treaters, parents, and first responders. Surrey RCMP will have additional resources on shift over the Halloween weekend to help ensure public safety.

Surrey RCMP regularly receives an overwhelming number of noise complaints resulting from the use of fireworks. Fireworks are not permitted in the City of Surrey without a City of Surrey Fire Department permit and a Federal Fireworks Operator Certificate.

Review Surrey’s fireworks regulations here.

Those caught selling or setting off illegal fireworks can face fines. Misuse of fireworks can also cause personal injury or lead to criminal charges.

If you have safety concerns regarding the misuse of fireworks in your neighborhood, call City of Surrey Bylaws at 604-591-4370 during business hours and Surrey RCMP nonemergency at 604-599-0502 after hours. The use of 911 should be reserved for emergencies only. Police will prioritize response to calls with an immediate risk to public safety.

“Let the creepy costumes and spooky decorations be the only things that scare you this Halloween,” says Media Relations Officer Constable Sarbjit Kaur Sangha. “Take appropriate pre-cautions to ensure that you have a fun and safe Halloween experience.”

Surrey RCMP encourage you to review the following safety tips and share them with family members: • Trick or treat in groups or with an adult;

Photo: History.com • Plan a route that includes well-lit streets, sidewalks and crosswalks; • Always use a marked crosswalk and never jaywalk; • Have a flashlight with you; • Ensure children have emergency contact information on them; • Save the treats for home, after they have been inspected by an adult; • Choose a costume that is light, bright, and incorporates glow sticks or reflectors; • Avoid face masks that could obstruct your vision — makeup or face paint is a safer choice; • Leave any fake weaponry at home; • The Surrey Animal Resource Centre wants to remind residents pets are safer inside with the family, where they can be secure from the frightening sights and sounds of fireworks or people in costumes. While it can be a fun exciting time for people, we need to remember our four-legged family members don’t perceive things the same way we do and extra care should be taken with them.

National security not always a BEST RATE ‘free pass’ against judiciary, says MORTGAGES BANK MORTGAGES India’s Supreme Court on Pegasus New Delhi (IANS): The Supreme Court on Wednesday made it crystal clear that the Centre’s argument of national security, in the context of whether it used the Pegasus spyware, cannot be used as a “free pass” whenever a matter is taken up for judicial review.

Mere invocation of national security by the state does not render the court a mute spectator, it stressed.

A bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana said it is a settled position of law that in matters pertaining to national security, the scope of judicial review is limited. However, the bench added that this does not mean that the state gets a free pass every time the spectre of “national security” is raised.

“National security cannot be the bugbear that the judiciary shies away from, by virtue of its mere mentioning. Although this Court should be circumspect in encroaching upon the domain of national security, no omnibus prohibition can be called for against judicial review,” it said.

The top court had sought the Centre’s response on the petitioners’ contention as to

whether it used Pegasus on its citizens.

The Centre had submitted a limited affidavit in the matter and justified its nonsubmission of a detailed counter affidavit, by citing security concerns.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had submitted that such information could not be made a matter of public debate as the same could be used by terror groups to hamper national security.

The bench emphasised that it had already made it clear to the Centre that it will not push to get information which may affect national security concerns, yet the government placed on record a limited affidavit, which did not shed any light on its stand or provide any clarity as to the facts of the matter at hand.

“If the respondent, the Union of India had made their stand clear, it would have been a different situation, and the burden on us would have been different,” it noted.

The top court pointed out that the Centre may decline to provide information when constitutional considerations exist, such as those pertaining to security of the

state, or when there is a specific immunity under a specific statute.

It added, however, it is incumbent on the state to not only specifically plead such constitutional concern or statutory immunity, but they must also prove and justify the same in court in an affidavit.

The top court also said that snooping on journalists or instilling a fear that media is being spied on, creates a “chilling effect” on journalistic freedom.

“Such chilling effect on the freedom of speech is an assault on the vital public watchdog role of the press, which may undermine the ability of the press to provide accurate and reliable information,” it said.

The top court, which appointed a three-member technical expert committee to probe Pegasus snooping, said: “It is undeniable that surveillance and the knowledge that one is under the threat of being spied on can affect the way an individual decides to exercise his or her rights. Such a scenario might result in selfcensorship. This is of particular concern when it relates to the freedom of the press, which is an important pillar of democracy.”

No Friday release for Aryan Khan as lawyers get stuck in traffic jam Mumbai (IANS): Contrary to expectations, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan is expected to spend another night in the Arthur Road Central Jail as his bail orders could not reach the prison authorities by the stipulated time of 5.30 p.m. on Friday.

Though his legal team led by advocate Satish Maneshinde had rushed from the Bombay High Court to the jail, a mere 8 kms away, they were reportedly stuck in the massive evening and weekend traffic jams en route.

Even Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh who left from his Bandra bungalow in a small motorcade to pick up Aryan from jail, returned home mid-way, though close family friend and ex-actress Juhi Chawla managed to complete the formalities for standing surety.

The court has accepted Juhi - a co-star of SRK in many films - as the surety in Aryan’s bail and she signed the relevant papers and executed the bail bond before the court officials, said Maneshinde earlier.

“I am happy that Aryan will return home very soon,” Juhi, sporting a monogrammed black face-mask with a ‘J’ (Juhi), told media persons briefly outside the court.

However, since the bail papers failed to reach the jail authorities on time, now Aryan maybe released only on Saturday

Shah Rukh Khan (fifth from right) with his team of lawyers after his son was granted bail on Thursday.

- on Thursday evening, but the bail order verdict was issued on Friday afternoon, after which their legal teams initiated the remaining formalities.

Soon after the bail verdict was pronounced Thursday, SRK reportedly shed tears of joy, and later met his entire legal defence team which had been fighting for Aryan’s release for the past four weeks.

The happy-go-lucky Aryan - who left home on October 2 for a fun-filled Mumbai-Goa cruise voyage, totally oblivious of what was in store - was suddenly detained after the NCB swoop, formally arrested the following day and has been in custody since then.

On Thursday, the bail verdict was received with cheers and bursting of fire-crackers by fans near his ‘Mannat’ home, and today, the bungalow was being specially illuminated and decked with flowers to welcome him.

The bail verdict had come on Thursday after over nine hours of hearing spread over three afternoons at the packed hall of the high court given the unprecedented public interest in the goings-on.

“The high court has granted bail to Aryan, Arbaaz and Munmun,” said a victorious Mukul Rohatgi, the former Attorney General of India, who represented the son of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan in the critical final three days of arguments.

NEW

The advocate-on-record for Aryan, Satish Maneshinde, glanced upwards and briefly commented: “God is great”.

Nationalist Congress Party Minister Nawab Malik welcomed the bail order and said that they should have been granted bail on the very first day of their arrest.

“The NCB has concocted a totally false case... They kept changing their stance to deny bail to the accused. It’s a ‘farziwada’ which will not stand the scrutiny of the courts,” Malik asserted.

The NCP leader, who has been making serial exposures on the NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, said: “It’s ironic that the officer who had jailed these people for so many days is not running scared of being jailed and approaching the courts for relief.”

The accused trio -- along with five others -were detained on October 2 when the NCB swooped on the alleged rave party aboard the Cordelia Cruise ship.

The following day (October 3) they were formally arrested and have been away from their homes for the past 27 days as their case grabbed national attention.

Later, during the investigations, the NCB had nabbed another 12 more persons some of whom have secured bail from the Special NDPS Court.

Modi meets top EU leaders ahead of G20 meet New Delhi/Rome (IANS): A day ahead of the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday kickstarted his official engagements in Rome with “a productive interaction” with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Modi reached Rome on Friday morning where he will join other G20 leaders in discussions on global economic and health recovery from the pandemic, sustainable development, and climate change in the first in-person summit of the G20 since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020.

His first official engagement was with the top leaders of the European Commission. Soon after the meeting was over, he tweeted: “We had wide ranging talks on deepening the India-EU friendship, particularly in areas such as trade, com-

Modi with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. merce, culture and environment.”

Stating that India has a key role to play in the green transition, Michel

said: “We discussed global health and fighting the pandemic, the strong EU-India Strategic Partner-

ship, the situation in Afghanistan and the Indo-Pacific.”

Leyen tweeted: “Our EU-India strategic agenda is on the right track.

We agreed that our trade negotiators will start to work. We’ll deepen our cooperation on climate, including on innovation and technology.”

Looking forward to cooperating in the Indo-Pacific EU Global Gateway, she said.

The PMO handle said: “The leaders discussed ways to enhance economic as well as people-to-people linkages aimed at creating a better planet.”

Modi paid floral tributes at the bust of Mahatma Gandhi and also met members of the Indian community that extended a warm welcome to him with sloganeering and placard displays.

Earlier in the morning here, the Prime Minister was received by senior Italian officials and the Indian

Ambassador in Italy, a release from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in New Delhi.

Modi is on a visit to Rome and the Vatican City from Friday till October 31 at the invitation of Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi.

On the sidelines of the G20 Summit, Modi will also be meeting with leaders of other partner countries and review the progress in bilateral relations.

The G20 began a consultation forum between Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors of the world’s major economies. Following the 2008 economic crisis, it became a forum between heads of state and government, aimed at improving coordination on the main global issues.

During his visit to Italy, Modi will also visit the Vatican City to call on Pope Francis and meet Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

BJP to highlight Modi government’s initiatives to get Muslim votes New Delhi (IANS): To win over support of Muslim voters in the upcoming assembly elections in five states, the BJP plans to focus its campaign on initiatives taken by the Narendra Modi Government for better ‘Talim’ (education) and ‘Tijarat’ (business) for the community during last seven years.

To highlight the Modi government’s initiatives under talim and tijarat, BJP minority morcha will be launching a nationwide campaign from November with special focus on poll bound Uttar Pradesh where Muslims constitute around 20 per cent of total electorate.

BJP minority morcha national president Jamal Siddiqui told IANS that the Modi government worked to educate and economic empowerment of Muslims and the party will highlight these initiatives through its special campaign ‘talim’ and ‘tijarat’.

“Through ‘karyashala’ (workshop), our workers will tell the minority about the Modi government’s commitment to uplift and empower them. The workshops will be held in

every district. Our workers will explain to them about schemes to get benefits of better talim and ways to start new tijarat for economic empowerment,” Siddiqui said.

As per plan a training workshop will be held at national level in which workers of minority morcha will be explained about various schemes of the Modi government and ways to avail it. Trained workers will travel across Uttar Pradesh and other poll bound states of Punjab, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand where assembly polls will be held early next year.

Later on, similar workshops will be held in the rest of the country. Workshops will be held at district level and state level. “Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi will address the state level workshop,” Siddqui said.

Along with BJP minority morcha workers senior party leaders including union ministers, ministers in state government, members of parliament and MLAs will participate in reach out programmes. The saffron party is also trying to secure a minimum of 5,000

Parkash Singh Badal seeks Modi’s intervention on deporting Sikh NRI Chandigarh (IANS): Reacting strongly to the Indira Gandhi International airport authorities in Delhi sending Darshan Singh Dhaliwal back to the US after denying him entry to India, five-time Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Tuesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “intervene personally and effectively” to get the order vacated.

Badal also requested Modi to personally invite Dhaliwal as a “goodwill gesture which will send a great positive signal to NRIs [Non-Resident Indians]”.

Dhaliwal was sent back from the IGI airport on the night of October 23-24 with the authorities saying that this was being

Parkash Singh Badal

done as a punishment for organizing a ‘langar’ or community kitchen for agitating farmers on Delhi borders.

Calling it as an affront to the “sacred practice of ‘langar’ started by the great Guru Sahiban”, Badal also urged Modi to take stern action against the erring officials who “brought a bad name to the country with their action”.

Badal said organising or sponsoring a sacred socio-religious work such as ‘langar’ has always been regarded as one of the highest and noblest duties for every devout follower of Sikhism.

“Doing so for the country’s ‘annadata’ (bread winners) is a noble task that

needs to be emulated rather than penalized.”

Calling the ongoing agitation of farmers “a national movement”, Badal said there was nothing wrong or illegal in helping those taking part in this civilized, peaceful, democratic movement.

The former Punjab chief minister also spelt out an agenda for agriculture, which, includes revocation of three black laws, taking stakeholders on board before any legislation affecting them, setting up a panel with farmers and farm experts to advise the government on agriculture policies and enlarging of the list of crops for ensured marketing with MSP.

Many Congressmen in touch with me: Amarinder on new party formation Chandigarh (IANS): Declaring that he would launch his new party as soon as the Election Commission clears the name and the symbol, former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday hit out at the Congress, saying many people from the party were in touch with him and they will come out in the

open when the time comes.

“We are waiting for the opportune moment. But I will not take their names. Already my supporters are being harassed,” said Amarinder Singh, addressing his first press conference after stepping down as Chief Minister.

Asked how many MLAs were in touch with him, he

quipped, “If Rahul Gandhi needs to have back-to-back meetings with Punjab Congress MLAs, what does it mean?”

As to why he had not resigned yet from the party, Amarinder Singh said, “I have spent 50 years in the Congress, how does it manner if I stay for another 10 days?”

He rejected the Congress claims of a majority of the MLAs opposing his continuation in office, and said: “Once they (party leadership) had made up their mind to replace me, all these excuses were made”.

Pointing out that the so-called 18-point agenda of the Congress for his government was nothing but part of the Punjab 2017 manifesto, he said the Kharge committee was clearly told that 92 per cent of all poll promises had been fulfilled.

Taking on his detractors, particularly Navjot Singh Sidhu and Sukhjinder Randhawa, Amarinder Singh slammed them for indulging in petty issues. “We will fight and defeat Sidhu from wherever he contests the upcoming Assembly polls,” he vowed, adding since the former had taken over the Punjab Congress reins, there had been a 25 per cent drop in the party’s popularity, as per his surveys.

Trashing allegations against his Pakistani friend Aroosa

Amarinder Singh Alam, Amarinder Singh termed as baseless the charges of money being sent out by her. Even as he asked if Aroosa was the only issue left in Punjab, he questioned the intention of Randhawa in raising the issue now after never raking it up all these years.

Aroosa had been visiting him for 16 years and he would definitely invite her again, he added.

Pointing out that he had never spoken of aligning with the BJP, Amarinder Singh said what he wanted to do was seat sharing. “In military parlays it means concentration

of forces,” he remarked, adding he had, however, not yet talked to the BJP on this.

Dismissing as trash Sidhu’s tweet accusing him of being loyal to BJP, he said the thought of seat sharing with the BJP came to his mind only after he was forced out of office. “States have to work with the Centre to function effectively,” he pointed out.

He further made it clear that he had no intention of aligning with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) but only with breakaway Akali groups.

Countering propaganda that nothing had happened in the Bargari and other sacrilege cases, the former chief minister said all were under investigation. As many as 19 police officers and 21 civilians were booked, he said, pointing out that all these processes take time.

On the political issues he will prioritize in the elections, the former chief minister said a manifesto committee would finalise the same. Issues keep changing, he added.

Auto review by Veeno Dewan The 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E is the first fully electric SUV from the Blue Oval and is a handsome and sporty all-electric, luxury compact SUV. While it shares the iconic name of the venerable Ford Mustang sports car and has some styling cues from it, notably: the front headlights, rear light treatment and the quarter flanks, the Mach-E is a totally different tall, boxy compact crossover with an all-electric powertrain. No rumbling V8 here folks!

It has been a stroke of genius for Ford to use the Mustang moniker. The name has drawn a lot of interest and the Mach-E sold very well in pre- orders and is incredibly hard to find due to the high demand. It is not just the name however. The Mach-E is hands down every bit as good as premium Electric players like the Tesla model Y, Jaguar I-Pace, and the Audi e-Tron, all -electric crossovers. The Mach- E won the 2021 North American Utility Vehicle of The Year award – That’s how good it is!

Ford offers the Mach -E it in both rear and all-wheel drive, with a choice of a 68 kWh or 88 kWh battery capacity. Range is certified between 375 and 480 km depending on the battery size. Power is via two all electric synchronous AC motors powered by an 88-kWh lithium-ion battery pack in the top spec models with a combined output of 346 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. The transmission is a direct-drive unit with multiple drive modes supplied to an All-Wheel Drive system. Total

2022 FoRD MuStAnG MAch -E : Much more behind the name!

energy consumption is rated at : 25 kWh/100 km.

Note: The Ford Mustang Mach -E is not an inexpensive vehicle. In line with the middle rung EV’S, the pricing starts at the low fifties, in this case around $50,495 for the base model and goes all the way to $82,995 for the fully loaded high-performance GT model. The Mach-E will hit 0-100 km/h in about five sec-

onds in terms of performance. Charging options include a fast charger, home charger or via 120volt household system.

There are four models available: Select, Premium, California RouteOne and GT. Select Equipment levels as standard are high and include: FordPass Connect that enables cellphones to operate as a key, a 15.5-inch infotainment screen, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Also included is Ford’s CoPilot360 suite of safety tech. This includes reverse brake assist, reverse sensing, blind-spot information with cross-traffic alert, pre-collision assist, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high beams. Also available is Co-Pilot360 Active, with a semi-autonomous driving mode. Options lists adds such things as an extended-range battery, all-wheel drive with electric motors front and rear, a 360-degree camera, and an upgraded B&O audio system.

The Mach- E’s cabin is alive with premium materials and attention to detail.

There is a smart modern look to the interior with plenty of storage and ample

space in the airy and spacious cabin. The front seats offer good support for long rides.

Ford’s excellent Sync infotainment software is updated to include options on how to manage a display energy, charging, range, and other info. The Mach-E also features Ford’s overthe-air update capability for vehicle systems.

Subsequent updates will no doubt transfer improvements in range, performance, and other parameters in the future.

The rear compartment is roomy enough and has all the creature comforts you could want. This being a tall boxy design the Mache offer superlative head and legroom. Rear cargo capacity is 821L, with 1,687L with rear seats folded down. A 35 liter “Frunk under the front hood allows for storing charging cables and what have you.

On the road, the Mach -E offers very quick acceleration. Its disconcerting at first as all this happen with the dab of the throttle and in near silence! Endearingly Ford provides the available three drive modes with “propulsion” sounds. The different drive modes also firm up such parameters as the steering response.

The throttle response is also adjustable. With its low center of gravity and underfloor batteries, the Mach-E feels stable and composed on all surfaces. Handling response is nicely weighted, and the Mach-E is a joy to drive.

To sum up, the Mach-E offers an excellent combination of luxury, performance and electric driving range. Decent levels of equipment, and a serene driving experience all make the Mustang Mach-E one of the better all electric SUVs in the market. Highly recommended. A gamechanger!

2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E priced from: $52,495 – $82,995.

Teammates in Smyrna bring to life next-gen 2022 INFINITI QX60 Mississauga, On: With more than 400,000 three-row INFINITI QX60 SUVs assembled to date by hundreds of employees working countless hours, another number matters more here: one team.

As production began here on the all-new 2022 INFINITI QX60 in Smyrna, Tennessee, near Nashville, the employees who’ve worked on the new SUV — and its predecessor — beam. There’s a palpable pride in their individual work but also an overwhelming satisfaction in their one-team mentality.

semble.

“We knew there was a different expectation (at the beginning),” she says. “When we first got the JX, it was an exciting time for (us) to get an INFINITI vehicle.

“I’m excited and very proud of what

we do here. It’s good for us. It’s good for sustaining our jobs and growth at our facility,” she added.

For James, each vehicle he sees from Smyrna is deeply personal.

He distills his feelings down to trust.

There’s the trust each team member

has in each other, working together toward a common goal. There’s also trust that each family instills into the team with each QX60 on the road.

Chris knows it doesn’t end there: “INFINITI speaks quality. We continue to strive year over year to improve

* 7ÁÖÚ Óß" á

“It takes all of us to bring (the allnew QX60) from conception to pavement, and all of our smaller teams working together as a larger team,” says Chris Ellis, who’s worked at Nissan Motor Corporation’s Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant for nearly 20 years. He oversees QX60 assembly as a key trainer, teaching other technicians advanced manufacturing techniques to assemble each INFINITI vehicle. The facility employs more than 7,000 highly skilled people, and although not all work on INFINITI vehicles, the overall attitude is that it’s all one team behind every vehicle.

James Walker, who’s worked at Smyrna for nearly 30 years, remembers those days well. A smile creeps into the corner as he recalls “going for gold” in the extra hours of training and focus, he says.

On the original QX60, James was a supervisor for final assembly. Now he’s moved on as a trim and underbody supervisor for the all-new INFINITI QX60.

“There’s a level of expectation that comes along with (the INFINITI badge). People expect that quality,” he says.

It’s a quality that Christy Boisseau knows firsthand. She began in Nov. 2002 as a production technician.

Now she’s a zone trainer, where she teaches the lessons learned from those first vehicles she helped as-

LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (PG)*****

A brilliant soundtrack that is pitch perfect puts you in the mood for loads of fun before harm comes your way. A Superb supporting cast including Terrence Stamp and former Bond girl Diana Rigg ( The Avengers) simply adds to the appeal of this fresh and exciting thriller that takes you back in time and down memory lane.

Why even the real James Bond gets in on the act as clearly director Wright recreates a spot on atmosphere that makes us all yearn for the heady fun times of the 60s.

For more reviews please visit my website moviereviewssite.com

OICE

blown away by the lights and stars, glitter and glamour of the nightlife - and a girl called Sandie. Dressed to kill and thrill is the fetching Anya Taylor Joy who has more than her share of men jumping for joy in The decadent leisure dens of pleasure as Soho amply fulfills.

Back and forth the lives of Eloise and Sandie intersect as all sorts of passion plays develop. Leave it to director Edgar Wright to up the ante considerably as things get decidedly out of hand and blood gets spilt making Last Night In Soho truly a night ( and film experience) to remember.

The Indo-Canadian

Oh what a night! Even Those famous lyrics from a hit 70s tune can’t hold a candle for what transpires in Last Night In Soho. Different, diverse and downright dangerous fun is on tap in this totally fresh and fulfilling film from Touchwood PR now showing at Cineplex Cinemas and some Landmark Theatres across B.C. Timing matters when releasing a movie. With Halloween just around the corner beware the psychological trauma and thrills that befall the central character in this dynamic cinema treat. We all have dreams. So does country gal Eloise. In a star making performance New Zealand born Thomason McKenzie rises to the challenge and then some . Life in the English countryside has its limits so this normal girl yearns to live ( and work) in London.

Through some slick storytelling our heroine may be a victim of her own imagination. First Set in modern times most of the action here takes us back in time to the swinging 60s where Eloise tries to ply her trade as a fashion designer in training. Like a fish out of water our gal is

CRIME OF THE WEEK VPD RELEASES VIDEO OF WEST-SIDE KIDNAPPING VICTIM Unsolved Crime: Kidnapping; Date: Sept. 23, 2021; Location: Vancouver, BC Vancouver Police have released surveillance video of a man they believe was kidnapped while walking on a quiet west-side street last month, and hope someone has information that can help solve the troubling case.

“We believe Jeffrey Lee was abducted by force and taken to an unknown location,” says Sergeant Steve Addison. “We don't know exactly why he was kidnapped, but we know there are people out there who have information, and we're asking them to come forward now.”

Lee, 33, was last seen by his girlfriend around 10 p.m. on September 23, as he left her downtown apartment to go gambling in the city's Oakridge neighbourhood. Police believe he drove a black BMW X5 and parked near West 41 Avenue and Elizabeth Street, then went to a nearby high-rise to meet up with friends and associates. Surveillance video seized by police captures Lee entering the Oakridge high-rise around 10:15 p.m. on September 23, then leaving the next day shortly before 4 a.m.

Investigators believe he was kidnapped while walking back to his parked car.

“The black BMW was located the next day with the driver-side door wide open, and we believe whoever kidnapped Mr. Lee did so as he was getting in his vehicle,” adds Sergeant Addison.

“Although we've gathered a significant amount of evidence during the past four weeks and feel we are close to solving this case, there are still people with information who need to come forward.”

Lee was last seen wearing a dark-coloured Hugo Boss hoodie, with black shorts, flip-flops, and a grey shoulder bag. At the time of his kidnapping, he had short black hair and facial stubble

Updated CleanBC Roadmap Promises Energy Rating Tool for Homes This week, the BC Government announced a new CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, with more ambitious commitments to achieve its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets. As a result of additions in the plan related to the real estate sector, REALTORS® should expect conversations around energy efficiency to become an increasingly important part of your day-to-day interaction with clients.

While the CleanBC Roadmap includes a series of new general actions, including an increased carbon tax and an accelerated shift toward active transportation and public transit, the most significant change impacting real estate is new requirements to make all new buildings zerocarbon ready by 2030.

The CleanBC Roadmap also promises a home energy labeling tool, similar to what already exists for appliances or vehicles. This web-based tool will allow people to see how efficient their home is. The implementation of the tool takes into account BCREA’s Government Liaison Days recommendation to coordinate the tool with CleanBC retrofit incentives.

Approaching 2030 and beyond, both of these changes are likely to have an impact on real estate practice, from conversations with clients to the marketing of listings. So, Realtors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the developments and trends related to energy efficiency.

To learn more about energy efficiency now,

Buying or Selling...

check out BCREA’s accredited, self-paced online courses like Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Homes, Healthy Indoor Environments and The BC Energy Step Code: A Primer for Selling Energy-Efficient New Homes.

These courses will equip Realtors with knowledge and information to share with clients to assist them in choosing the home that best fits their needs and meets high standards for energy efficiency.

CleanBC is the provincial government’s plan to reduce BC’s GHG emissions to 40 per cent less than 2007 levels by 2030 and have net-zero emissions by 2050. The plan, first developed in 2018.

BCREA supports the province meeting its GHG targets and has advocated for long-term, widespread investments in financial incentives to help property owners voluntarily retrofit existing buildings. We are encouraged that GHG emissions from buildings have decreased by eight per cent compared to 2007 levels.

We also plan to write to BC’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change, George Heyman, to request that the energy assessment tool is available to owners of all existing homes rather than only at the point of listing. We will also ask that the tool be coordinated with other programs, including local government and private sector programs to allow consumers to easily navigate available incentives.

The ultimate disease: Too many rats in a cage

WHAT catastrophic event could end all lives on this small planet? Some say nuclear war; others, another pandemic worse than the current one that’s caused over 700,000 deaths just in North America. Still others, the failure to tackle the problem of climate change. But here’s a surprise. The ultimate disease is a population time bomb that keeps ticking every second of the day – and we all ignore it.

It took 123 years for the human population to grow from one to two billion people. Then, only 40 years to reach six billion, and now the population is 7.8 billion. This year, 82 million people will be added to an already packed planet. It’s like adding another city the size of Richmond, Virginia, or Buffalo, New York, to our planet every day!

Increased population is now causing huge health and migration problems.

Recent years have seen enormous waves of refugees fleeing conflict in desperation using any means to get somewhere better. We’ve all seen the gutwrenching images of flimsy boats in the Mediterranean, and now hundreds are attempting to cross the English Channel from France in the same manner. The U.S. southern border with Mexico offers more scenes of chaos. All need housing, food, and health care.

In nature, if too many deer, wolves kill them. But humans have a different problem. Too many of us, and the threat arises of our own makings: poor quality air, water, land and sea.

What is going on is frightening. Climate change is just the start. This year, the heat dome in western Canada caused 446 deaths in British Columbia. Floods in Europe and China ravaged entire villages. Massive fires destroy forests and choke the air with smoke. Polar bears can’t find the sea ice needed to keep alive.

A seminal experiment years ago provided an important lesson about animal behaviour. Two rats were placed in a cage. They survived without hostility. But with the addition of another rat or two, the fighting began for space. Similarly, humans do not fare well in confined settings when resources are lacking.

Conflict inevitably ensues, not peaceful rethinking and behaviour change. We have always been a waring species. Like too many rats in a cage, we turn on each other.

So while you are reading about carbon taxes so complex they are impossible to understand, think about what’s causing the root problem.

There will be more people on this planet. Projections suggest the global population will level out at 11 billion around the year 2100. That’s about 3 billion more people we need to accommodate.

To do so, will we keep cutting down trees, demanding more energy, tossing more plastic in the sea? Very likely, yes.

Some good people will do all they can to find solutions. But efforts to fix those problems will have little impact if we keep behaving like rats.

We can all do some finger pointing. It’s easy to find somebody else who is making things worse. We can all disagree about solutions too. But we have got to

get better, and quicky, at living together without conflict every time we don’t see eye to eye.

Yet, we couldn’t do it where there were only 1 billion on the planet. We aren’t doing it now with 9 billion. Squeezing in 3 billion more, what’s our plan for getting along?

We must take care of the planet. But we must also start taking better care of each other. Or are we going to be like rats in a cage?
