On Nov. 7, Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford announced a “framework agreement” for pipeline expansion and development to the West Coast of British Columbia. The main points of the “agreement” are Alberta will support B.C.’s demand for revenue sharing from the oil transportation and bitumen export, but it won’t come from Alberta’s resource royalties. Meanwhile, B.C. agreed to support Alberta’s call for a national energy strategy. These have been two of the sticking points at previous meetings of the two western premiers, during which Redford has adamantly refused to share revenue from the pipeline crossing British Columbia to ship bitumen from Alberta’s tar sands projects to Asian markets. Clark said Redford reached a “broader understanding and acceptance” of B.C.’s five conditions and B.C. has agreed to join the Canadian Energy

Strategy discussions started by Premier Redford. In previous meetings, Redford has been adamant that none of Alberta’s resource royalties from oil sands crude will be shared. B.C. has argued that the oil producers and the federal government have to find a solution to the conditions for approval laid down by Clark. Redford said her proposed national strategy is to address interprovincial projects such as pipelines, recognizing that energy is provincial jurisdiction. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says the “framework agreement” announcement is good news. “I think it’s always great to work with your neighbours. I think Western Canada has always been amputated from the rest of Canada, so the more we can work together the better we are, as long as we don’t lose our principles. She adds the five principles Clark put out there for the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline have to remain intact “because the
province has to be very strict on the regulatory regime.” Clark’s principles include: • Successful completion of an environmental review process. In Enbridge’s case, this means a recommendation by the Joint Review Panel that the project proceeds. • World-leading marine oil-spill prevention and response
systems to protect B.C. coastlines and ocean. • Enhancement of onland spill response to world-leading standards. • Legal requirements regarding Aboriginal and treaty rights must be addressed and First Nations must be provided with opportunities to benefit from these projects. Continued on A16

The story of affable underachiever David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn), whose mundane life gets twisted in a knot when he finds out that he fathered 533 children via sperm donations he made twenty years earlier. In debt to the mob, rejected by his pregnant girlfriend, things couldn’t look worse for David when he’s hit with a lawsuit from 142 of the 533 twentysomethings who want to know the identity of the donor. As David struggles to decide whether or not he should reveal his true identity, he embarks on a journey that leads him to discover not only his true self but the father he could become as well. • Comedy• Rated PG • Parents: Offensive languge, sexual content • Length 1:43

The 100 Mile chapter of the Compassionate Friends is holding its 13th Candle Lighting Memorial Service. We invite all bereaved parents and their families to join us at this special service as a way for bereaved families to honour the memories of their children. This service is a time of recognition and remembrance. This annual service has proven to be a source of strength in helping “handle the holidays.” We will be lighting memory candles (you may bring your own special candle or candles will be provided). We will also have a remembrance table if you would like to bring a picture of your child. If you plan to attend our candle lighting service OR are unable to attend but would like a candle lit in memory of your child, please phone Tawna at 250-644-1239 before December 4th.
