“The amount of change that’s happened in last two-and-a-half years, it makes your head spin if you think about it too much.”

But through the period of adjustment he’s fallen back on what he knows best—academia— to great effect. Stewart is currently on leave from a teaching post at Simon Fraser University’s School of Public Policy.

of Conservatives, including one calling for a reform of Parliament. It’s something he supports because he sees the institution as being too partisan to work effectively.

Stewart said Jack Layton remains his biggest influence in

his political work.

“He always says ‘no opposition without proposition,’ and that’s really, if I was going to get something tattooed on myself that would be it.”

When acting as the Opposition science critic, one often gets the sense that the Conservative government’s handling of federal scientists and their work is something Stewart takes personally.

“I do take that personally, and for 20 years I’ve been trained to speak truth to power and I see that being curtailed here,” Stewart said of his academic experience.

“And scientists essentially are somewhat of a defenceless lot in the sense that they’re supposed to be neutral.”

But if their scientific findings go against what the government wants, they’re deemed to be partisan.

“It’s the biggest game of chance in humanity. You have a question and you figure out ways to answer the question and lots and lots of times you fail, and sometimes you succeed and all of a sudden you’ve cured polio.”

Corporations will only take on ideas once publicly-financed scientists have generated them, he said. And often, resulting cures, inventions and innovations have nothing to do with the original intentions of the scientists’ research.

“And sure, some scientists have wacky ideas but you know, penicillin came from studying bread mould … It sure would’ve been nice if somebody had studied the pine beetle. It wiped out half our forest industry.”

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Changes to CPP needed Last week the Conservative federal government opted not to address the very urgent and growing problem that is the Canadian Pension Plan.

Instead offering any sort of meaningful reform or choosing to adequately fund CPP so that Canadians can expect to be taken care of - after having spent a lifetime of paying taxes - the Conservatives instead opted to do nothing, and presumably hope the problem just goes away.

It’s no secret that CPP is underfunded. And given the country’s demographics - with millions of Canadians facing retirement in coming years - this is an issue that can’t be put off any longer.

Seniors now make up close to 15 per cent of Canada’s population, totalling more than 4 million people. And with the median age in Canada now over 40 years old for the first time ever, the issue of our aging population and how to take care of them isn’t going away.

The issue is clear to see: Canadians are living longer, and as a result, drawing on CPP more than in generations past. As result, we need to do a better job of funding CPP if we want it to work.

Finance minister Jim Flaherty needn’t worry about his own financial future, of course. As an MP who has served more than six years in the house of commons, Flaherty has a gold-plated taxpayer-funded pension to draw on for the rest of his life, upon his retirement.

The rest of us aren’t so lucky.

Adequately funding CPP is the fiscally responsible thing to do, but it is also politically difficult.

As a result, the Conservatives have taken the easy way out, opting for the instant gratification of low taxes in the present at the cost of a stable future for our citizens.

And isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place?

Border tax should be deported In a year where TransLink apologists seemed to have thrown every possible tax grab – sales tax hikes, vehicle levies, road pricing, carbon tax – at the wall to see if anything would stick, one idea stood above the rest for its sheer ludicrousness. The envelope please…

“The award for the dumbest public policy suggestion of 2013 goes to… (dramatic pause…) the TransLink border tax!”

This toll-the-borders loser was suggested at one of the dozen or so transportation summits/ conferences/gabfests funded by your tax dollars this year. While initially pooh-poohed as “a bit tongue in cheek” by attendees such as NDP MLA Selina Robinson, the idea continues to surface in the media and has even been sent south for some number crunching.

Essentially, a toll would be slapped on B.C. drivers just before they crossed the border into the United States from Point Roberts to Sumas. Toll booths would be set up on 264th St., 176th St., Highway 99, Highway 11, and 56th St. A U.S. organization claims such a $5 round-trip toll could generate $38

Jordan Bateman million for TransLink.

There is no doubt that lower gas taxes are drawing Canadians south. In May, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation released calculations showing that the untaxed cost of gasoline is virtually identical between Blaine, WA, and Surrey, B.C. It is the 34 cents/L gas tax gap that makes Washington State gasoline so attractive – saving drivers roughly $18 per fill-up.

Add in the savings on groceries, milk, cheese, flights, and consumer goods, and it’s no wonder why Whatcom County is seeing its highest number of Canadian visitors since the mid-1990s.

But the solution to the gas tax gap is not to tax Canadians even more; the better plan to address Canadian issues like the federal government charging GST on gas purchases – a tax-on-tax.

The TransLink border tax is

rubbish, but keeps getting media attention. Main proponent Eric Doherty, who holds an M.A. in planning and is a former director of both the BC Sustainable Energy Association and Society Promoting Environmental Conservation, is over the top in his push for this silly plan: “There’s a perception that whatever we do needs to be fair,” he said. “And it’s not fair that people are evading paying their fair share of taxes.”

Hear that, Canadians? Every time you cross the border, according to Doherty, you are breaking the law by “evading” taxes. You’re just like Leona Helmsley, Martha Stewart, Al Capone, Heidi Fleiss, Pete Rose, O.J. Simpson and other famous tax evaders.

Such a statement is utter nonsense, of course. There is nothing illegal about crossing a border. Undoubtedly Mr. Doherty must also think those who buy local craft beer are also evil “tax evaders” as they pay less taxes than if they had purchased one of the big name brands.

You can bet proponents won’t stop at tolling the U.S. border. In their minds, Lower Mainlanders

who go east for cheaper gas must also be “tax evaders.”

After all, from 2007 to 2010, Abbotsford’s population grew 5.3 per cent, while diesel and gasoline sales grew 16.8 per cent. Perhaps border tax proponents should also consider taxing every road in and out of the TransLink taxation area. Roads to and from Mission better get taxed too. From 2007 to 2010, the TransLink tax-free community grew 3.6 per cent in population, while fuel sales jumped 14.7 per cent.

This year, B.C. taxpayers have endured property tax hikes, BC Hydro increases, ICBC rate hikes, MSP premium increases, TransLink tax and fare hikes, CPP and EI premium increases, BC Ferries fare hikes, and a myriad of other increases handed down by various government agencies. The sooner TransLink supporters understand that everyday Canadians are stretched thin, the quicker we can move on to figuring out how TransLink can live within its means.

Cariboo Hill resident Amanda McCracken faced eviction because a neighbour complained about an illegal suite.

Secondary suites go from banned to embraced Legalization program expected to take effect early in new year Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Early in the new year, Burnaby is expected to end its status as one of the few Lower Mainland municipalities which prohibits secondary suites.

Currently, all it takes for an illegal suite to be shut down is for a disgruntled neighbour to report it to city hall.

That’s just what happened to Cariboo Hill resident Amanda McCracken last January, as reported in the NewsLeader. The single mother had finally found a clean, affordable one-bedroom suite in a good neighbourhood for herself and her toddler daughter.

Then a few months later, she faced eviction after a neighbour’s complaint about illegal suites in the house where she was living.

Right around that time, it appears, Burnaby city hall was already looking into a program to legalize suites.

Burnaby council’s decision grew out of development of its social sustainability strategy during which

NEED A VEHICLE? Easy Approval

REGARDLESS OF YOUR CREDIT HISTORY OR HOW MUCH YOU OWE ON YOUR TRADE

community members urged city officials to allow suites as a way to increase affordable housing in the city.

The resulting program, which still requires final council approvals, will provide a one-year phase-in period to legalize the almost 6,000 illegal suites identified by BC Assessment Authority as already being in Burnaby and bring them up to city standards.

Suites will only be allowed in single-family homes, must meet minimum size requirements and other criteria and owners will be charged an additional 50 per cent of utility fees to ensure they’re paying for their share of city services used.

Tom Durning, spokesperson for Tenant Resource & Advisory Centre (TRAC), a tenants’ advocacy group, welcomed the move by Burnaby city hall, but pointed out suites have been legalized years ago in most other municipalities.

“What took Burnaby so long?”

Opportunity to Comment on YVR Add Fare Variance

The South Coast British Columbia Transportation Commission, the independent regulator of TransLink, is seeking public comment on TransLink’s recent application to vary the YVR AddFare.

Specifically, TransLink wishes to apply the YVR AddFare to DayPasses purchased on Sea Island and single fares purchased with Compass Card Stored Value for trips leaving Sea Island.

Customers travelling with monthly passes (and certain other passes) will be exempt from the YVR AddFare. TransLink also intends to exempt airport employees and Burkeville residents.

If approved, customers travelling from any of the Sea Island Stations (and beyond) using Stored Value from a Compass Card or a DayPass purchased at a Sea Island Compass Vending Machine or from a Compass Retailer on Sea Island will be charged the YVR AddFare of $2.50, collected as a return fare premium of $5.00 payable at a Sea Island Station.

Deadline for submissions is January 31, 2014.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

There are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6.

Zack Spencer

Visit the Honda Accord Coupe photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca

Honda’s contemporary on a dying breed 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6 It’s fascinating to watch trends in the auto industry play out over time.

Some changes happen quickly, with one manufacturer coming out with a feature, then the rest of the industry following suit. Backup cameras would be a good example of this.

Other trends are much slower, changing because of demographic fluctuations.

One example of a slow-moving trend is the two-door coupe falling out of favour and its replacement by sedans and crossovers. This trend is greatly affected by baby boomers getting older and buying more for practical reason, rather than styling.

In the 1980s, and even the beginning of the 90s, there were plenty of coupes to choose from and they sold well. But where are the Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica, Pontiac Sunfire and Ford Probe coupes? Now gone and many not replaced with newer models. I’m thrilled to report that there are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6.

Looks The Accord Coupe is based on the all-new Accord sedan that has been selling very well for Honda. In fact, it won the Canadian Car of the Year this year as decided by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada.

Honda has done a good job of updating this big coupe with a more modern twist. Sold in three configurations from the base EX to the EX-L Navi (L stand for leather and navi is self-explanatory),

which are both 4-cylinder way the radio stores and equipped models. The top retrieves pre-set radio trim is the EX-L Navi with stations. It took a long V6. This top trim level is the time to set the stereo model seen here: it comes up and having to go with LED projector headback and forth between lamps, 18-inch wheels and different screens is not duel chrome exhaust tips.

If you like the idea that intuitive. The rest of The 4-cylinder equipped the dash is large, with big models come with halogen of a smart looking car cup holder and plenty of headlamps and 17-inch storage areas. that is well equipped alloy wheels.

The EX-L that Honda is bucking, with this Accord is $30,100 for the leather and navi and Coupe, is the inclusion of a 6-speed the V6 premium is $35,500. Not an manual transmission and V6 engine. The inexpensive car but most are very well latest movement is to turbo or superequipped. charged 4-cylinder engines to replace V6

‘‘

’’

Inside It’s a big and comfortable coupe. The back seat is actually usable for adults and the front seats are very comfortable. The trunk is huge and the back seat folds for extra long items but the seats do not split and fold, plus the opening to the back seat is small.

Standard feature on all Accord models is a backup camera and heated seats.

Honda, in my opinion, has raised the bar in the mid-sized category and produced the nicest dash I have seen in this class.

There are two screens in the centre console, one for the navigation unit and the other for the radio. They are framed in beautiful, high quality satin metal, chrome and soft touch materials.

One area that could be improved is the

power plants and duel clutch automatic transmission in favour of a manual. I’m glad that Honda still offers this layout; it shows they are serious about being a true enthusiast’s car company. Granted, most buyers will get the very good 6-speed automatic transmission with the 3.5L V6, but with 278hp and 252 lb.ft. of torque it will be a very lively car in either configuration. The manual is a joy to use and it is like a throwback to drive a V6 equipped manual car. The 4-cylinder models have 185hp from a direct injection 2.4L engine and either a manual transmission or continuously variable transmission (CVT) for added fuel savings. The CVT is capable of 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway. The

Question

V6 uses more at 10.0L/100km in the city and 6.1L on the highway.

Verdict When I started reviewing cars back in the early 1990s, cars like this were common: a mid-sized sedan with a V6 engine and a manual transmission.

I can clearly remember driving a Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima and Accord equipped this way. While most companies are moving away from this design, Honda is sticking with it for now.

Soon Honda will have smaller turbocharged 4-cylinder engines available and this big coupe might too be fitted with something more efficient. If you like the idea of a smart looking car that is well equipped and powerful, you might want to move on an Accord Coupe V6 before it follows the latest trend.

The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 4-cylinder with 185hp or 3.5L V6 with 278hp Fill-up: 7.8L/5.7L/100km (city/highway 4-cylinder) Sticker price: $26,400-$35,500

The outside of the 2014 Toyota Tundra truck is all Wild West while the inside screams country music.

The ride was a perfect combination of on-road comfort and off-road toughness. The truck has exceptional steering response and it’s firm enough not to nose dive in the corners.

The seats are spacious and very comfortable; I compare it to a living room couch with seat belts. It has a very quiet cabin, which I found to be true with the previous model, with very little road noise.

I am happy they continued with the larger oversized buttons and knobs, which you can operate while wearing gloves. With the popularity of the Tundra growing, I can easily see the twomillionth truck roll out before the next design change. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

552 horsepower in the snow? – Not a problem Under the frozen silver metallic exterior coat of the 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe parked at my home was a power plant not for the faint of heart.

The two twin-scroll turbochargers (BMW’s TwinPower Turbo Technology) along with a 4.4L, V8 generates 552 horsepower of gargantuan fun. But that smile can be turned upside down quickly if it starts to snow.

Does that mean you need to park this potent piece of German engineering until the spring? Not at all.

Granted, the “M” badge symbolizes that this 4-door coupe has a healthy dose of the German automaker’s renowned performance and it means it has a rearwheel drive configuration. Other 6 Series nameplates without

the M designation (whether the Cabriolet, Coupe or Gran Coupe) come with the xDrive all-wheel

drive system.

So when the sky starts to fall and results in slippery roads, what is one to do with a vehicle that is track ready straight from the dealer’s lot? Get snow tires!

I picked up some tips ahead of my ride from John Mahler, who has been in the automotive industry for decades as a race car driver and coach. He is currently the owner and chief instructor of Max Performance Driving and is the director of Bridgestone’s Canadian Winter Driver Training program.

He says, “As the temperatures drop, all-season tires get firmer and the rubber hardens up.

Winter tires don’t harden up. And that’s the big difference.”

Mahler continued, “Traction essentially depends on the tire’s

rubber conforming to the tiny, minute, irregularities in the pavement… If the rubber gets too hard, it just can’t do that, so it slips. Meaning, it’s not just for snow and ice, but also for cold pavement.”

Thankfully, the M6 Gran Coupe had them; otherwise it could have been an interesting situation.

And while one might be tempted to put the twin turbochargers to good use in adverse conditions, Mahler advised against it. Before I fired up the beast, I asked Mahler for some tips for all drivers.

He responded: “It’s a real simple one. And it’s the one that should be at the top of everyone’s list: Slow down.”

A close second, he mentioned, is,

“Practise looking ahead.”

“One of the things that you should be doing when you’re driving in slippery conditions is break down the jobs your tire has to do.”

He expands, “If you need to brake for a corner, make sure you that you brake in a straight line before the corner so that you have all the available grip for slowing the car.”

Other tips Mahler offers is to test out how much traction you have by applying your brakes. In the case of the M6, they’re the M Carbon Ceramic Brakes ($6,750), which are designed to stop you in a flash. But if’s there’s no traction, the pricey option isn’t going to help much.

But on the days where grip is plentiful, and you can enjoy the

ride a little bit more, the M6 Gran Coupe has a lot to offer.

Not only is it, in my opinion, one of the sexiest vehicle’s BMW has ever produced; it comes loaded with the features that make you feel warm and fuzzy on a winter’s day. Like the Bang and Olufsen Sound System ($5,900).

It’s music to the ears.

Following Mahler’s tips, I had no mishaps and really enjoyed the drive. In fact, if I hadn’t seen the white stuff on the ground I would have sworn I was driving in dry conditions.

Driving conservatively and letting the seven-speed double clutch transmission with shift paddles do its work made for a satisfying and safe drive. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

Recalls on the 2009 - 2012 Subaru Forester: 2009 - An oil supply pipe to the engine turbocharger may crack at the stay brazing on the cylinder head-side, and this could potentially cause an engine compartment fire. Dealers will replace a cracked pipe with a modified unit or install an additional bracket to increase the rigidity of the pipe.

2009 to 2012: A faulty centre rear seating position seatbelt retractor may not allow proper installation of a child restraint or booster seat. Subaru sent owners a locking clip with instructions on how to properly secure a child restraint or booster seat.

Dealers will replace the centre seatbelt retractor upon request.

2009 to 2012: Dealer-installed accessory puddle lights may short circuit and cause the lights to melt.

Dealers will install an additional fused wiring harness to protect against short circuits. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Charging ahead with plug-in hybrids, electrics The future of cars may be electric but do not expect 2014 to be the dawn of the new age.

In fact, I predict there’s a long road ahead for manufacturers trying to woo the driving public into buying a car with a cord attached.

Throw in the sales numbers for all-electric cars, plug-in hybrids and gas-battery hybrids and they don’t come anywhere near five per cent of total vehicle sales.

The commercial conundrum is that these (more) eco-friendly vehicles come with a premium sticker price beyond most folks and the only way to bring them in range is to sell many more!

Most provincial governments have incentive rebates for those that make a green choice. While successful to a degree, they alone aren’t going to turn us all on.

If gas prices soar then some more buyers will go the hybrid route but that said there are an

‘‘

Range anxiety is a major mental obstacle for those with the resources to contemplate the purchase of an all-electric car.

Keith Morgan

awful lot of four-cylinder vehicles out there that are remarkably economical on gas. Let’s get our heads out of the dark clouds and accept that economy of purchase and operation are what drives most sales.

I am not an electric car naysayer, far from it, but we have to recognize that much needs to happen

before the majority buy into this future. Sticker price is one thing but the single biggest challenge has to be the slow pace of infrastructure to fast-charge cars whose batteries have run down mid-journey.

‘Range anxiety’ is a major mental obstacle for those with the resources to contemplate

the purchase of an all-electric car such as the Nissan Leaf or Mitsubishi iMIEV. For that reason, it seems likely that the likes of the Chevrolet VOLT will enjoy more sales success as a main means of transport because an onboard gas-powered generator is ready to kick in to recharge the battery when the juice runs

out. Similarly, the new BMWi3, while available as a pure electric vehicle, can also be purchased with a range extending engine.

Other manufacturers are set to follow that same route but in the meantime, the plug-in hybrid, which combines the pulling power of a gas engine and electric motor, is the early winner of people’s green-tinged hearts.

But back to the thorny issue of infrastructure. Many advocates want government to play a lead role but with all the demands made on the public purse that’s a dead-end street. Maybe the tax incentives they can offer will encourage the private sector.

For instance, the Canadian company Sun Country Highway has announced plans for a charging station network along the length of the Trans-Canada Highway.

Other companies operating alongside major highways are extracting planning concessions from local government by install-

ing recharging points.

Hats off to BMW and its holistic approach. The German giant is collaborating with small tech companies, who will work with customers to make sure their homes don’t require a major power refit just to own one of the new i3s.

And, as Dr. Ian Robertson, a BMW management board member, told me at the L.A. Auto Show recently, there are many other power opportunities right in front our eyes. Urban areas are awash with street lights, which could be used as a source for curbside recharging.

He also pointed out that there are many discontinued public phone sites in today’s cities. They have power wired to them and are ready to be tapped, should the phone company want to make a profit of more than a quarter per call. keith.morgan@ drivewaybc.ca
