Province remains opposed to Trans Mountain expansion

PHOTO KINDER MORGAN CANADA

Tanker approaches Westridge terminal in Burnaby, near the oil refinery also supplied by the Trans Mountain pipeline.

By Tom Fletcher The B.C. government is close to releasing its plan to provide “worldleading” prevention and response to land-

based oil spills, but that progress isn’t enough to change its opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Environment Minister Mary Polak announced

Monday the province’s final submission to the federal review of the project confirms it still has not met B.C.’s five conditions for approval of heavy oil pipelines.

Polak said she is preparing to present legislation this spring to establish new standards for land protection, after discussions with Trans Mountain operator Kinder Morgan Canada and other com-

panies. B.C.s final submission to the National Energy Board continues to recommend the pipeline twinning not be approved, but Polak said that is not the final word.

“We have been en-

couraged by the number of government and industry leaders who have also taken up the challenge and accepted the need to proceed along our five conditions, but we have not at this time seen evidence in the NEB hearing process that those conditions can yet be met,” Polak said.

B.C.’s five conditions, presented in 2012, include NEB approval, “world-leading” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations to aboriginal communities and an unspecified “fair share” of provincial benefits from any new heavy oil pipeline project.

Kinder Morgan issued a statement Monday saying it continues to work with B.C., but requirements for aboriginal consultation, spill prevention and revenue sharing can’t be met by the company alone.

The project already faces 150 draft conditions from the NEB, in what Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian

Anderson has called “the most highly scrutinized pipeline project by the NEB in history.”

The NEB is expected to hear intervenor arguments starting Jan. 19 in Burnaby, including affected municipalities.

Vancouver is also opposed, arguing that a seven-fold increase in crude oil tanker traffic on Burrard Inlet represents an unacceptable risk.

The Trans Mountain pipeline has been operating one line for 60 years, running from northern Alberta through the B.C. Interior at Kamloops to its marine terminal in Burnaby. A branch line runs south to supply oil refineries on the coast of Washington state, and the pipeline has already been twinned on the Alberta side.

Kinder Morgan is hoping for an NEB decision to recommend proceeding by May. Final approval is up to the federal cabinet.

RCMP recover infant after vehicle stolen in the city On January 9th, 2016 at 10:47 a.m. Cranbrook RCMP received a frantic report of a stolen vehicle with a 4 month old infant inside.

Investigation revealed the complainant was travelling from Trail to Kimberley when

she ran into a female acquaintance in Fruitvale who requested a ride. The complainant left the vehicle running with both passenger and her daughter inside as she briefly attended a Cranbrook residence.

Upon discovering the

vehicle and occupants gone she immediately called 9-1-1.

Shortly after, Cranbrook RCMP received a report of an impaired driver with fresh vehicle damage at the Tamarack mall parking lot which turned out to

be the same stolen vehicle. Two Cranbrook citizens quickly identified the safety concern with the infant’s presence and provided assistance while phoning police. RCMP members were quick to respond and returned the

unharmed infant immediately to her mother.

The driver was arrested at scene and transported to Cranbrook RCMP cells. Cranbrook RCMP are proposing several Criminal Charges including Child Abduction, Im-

paired Driving and Refusing to Provide a Breath Sample. The 24 year old Fruitvale resident will appear before a Judicial Justice of the peace on Monday, January 11th. The investigation is ongoing and includes assistance

from the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

Cranbrook RCMP applaud the actions of the two citizens in the quick and safe return of the child in a situation that could very well have ended tragically.

Views B.C. Views: Avatar sequel bombs in Walbran

Photo Teal-Jones Group

Masked protester interferes with logging operation in the Walbran Valley, November 2015.

by Tom Fletcher Avatar, the future-fantasy blockbuster that beat Titanic as all-time Hollywood box office champ, has finally been unseated by the latest Star Wars space opera.

I watched Avatar on TV over the holidays for the first time since its 2009 release, and was able to see past the bombastic special effects to examine it for what it is, an anti-capitalist propaganda film.

Psychopathic military commander teams with evil mining executive to blast and slaughter their way to a chunk of rare mineral, ridiculously named “unobtainium.” Giant tree, home of highly evolved Na’vi people and their delicate jungle ecosystem, is toppled for sadistic fun and profit, before nature’s collec-

tive strikes back.

Canadian director James Cameron helped the global anti-development network use the movie in its celebrity attack on the Alberta oil industry. Now the story line is being employed again in B.C., in an effort to revive the 1990s “war in the woods” that led to the creation of Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park on Vancouver Island.

Protest tactics are being refined. Targeting just outside the boundary of the vast park established 20 years ago, giant trees are named and an Avatar-style narrative of unbridled greed is spoon-fed to urban media.

There’s a “Tolkien Giant” now, although I’m reliably informed it is not one of those trees that gets up and walks

around in the Lord of the Rings movies. This tree is also protected from logging, as are most of the poster trees used for propaganda and fundraising.

The network uses multiple front groups.

Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee stages urban protests and issues news releases, while Ecojustice lawyers fight forest company injunctions against direct actions that disrupt legal logging. An employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently coordinating media and protesters.

A 1990s remnant called Friends of Carmanah-Walbran issued a statement Nov. 9 announcing “autonomous action” by three protesters to disrupt logging. Not their guys, you understand, just masked individuals willing to lock themselves to equipment or wander into a roadbuilding blast zone, forcing work to stop for safety reasons.

These are among the actions that forced the logging company to go to court for an injunction.

Cast in the role of evil corporation is TealJones Group, a B.C. forest company trying to operate in what is now the most environmentally restricted forest in the world.

It keeps about 2,000 people employed in logging and its sawmills in Surrey, where investments have been made to handle secondgrowth coastal timber as well as what little old-growth they are allowed to harvest.

Protesters have

dubbed their latest target, the tiny 3.2 hectare cutblock 4424, “Black Diamond Grove” for media and fundraising purposes.

Teal-Jones forester Chris Harvey provided me some information to counter protester claims. Block 4424 isn’t being logged, although it was permitted last fall. Protesters are targeting other operations, none of which are in the contentious Walbran “bite” area next to the park.

Teal-Jones has not only received permits and worked with environmental organizations, its operations are independently certified by the Canadian Standards Association.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge granted an extension of the injunction protecting Teal-Jones’ operations on Jan. 4. The judge wasn’t swayed by protesters packing the Victoria courtroom, and upheld a 50-metre safety zone around working equipment in the Walbran Valley until the end of March.

A Wilderness Committee spokesman with no evident forestry qualifications was appalled. He will no doubt continue to issue news releases and write his own version for left-wing fringe publications that seek to perpetuate an urban culture of revulsion for logging.

SEEDS, a dramatic play about a real David and Goliath story, is coming to Cranbrook.

Explore the fascinating truth behind the food that we eat with SEEDS at the Key City Theatre this February.

SEEDS is a dramatic re-enactment of the 4-year legal battle between Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser and one of the biggest biotech corporations, Monsanto Inc. While debates about GMOs are multiplying everywhere, life-changing experiments are being conducted in the food we eat… A play for thinking audiences.

Named the Best English Production of 2005 by the Association québécoise des critiques de théâtre (AQCT) and nominated for Best Original Script in 2005 by the Académie québécoise de théâtre, Seeds is a dramatic re-enactment of the 4-year legal battle between Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser and one of the biggest biotech corporations, Monsanto Inc. Canadian icon Eric Peterson plays the role of Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser. Based on court trial transcripts, interviews with Schmeiser, Monsanto representatives, and with farmers, academics, lawyers and scientists from all across Canada, Seeds leads us through a suspenseful labyrinth of legal conflicts around patent rights, scientific showdowns about GM food, and property clashes between farmers and the biotechnology industry. The answer to Schmeiser’s “who owns Life?” question will determine the future of our food system.

Starring Eric Peterson, a Canadian stage and television actor, known for his roles in three major Canadian series – Street Legal, Corner Gas and This is Wonderland.

Local’s Siberian Huskies the stars of Land Rover commercial

Photo Youtube

A screenshot of the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport commercial featuring Margie Leopold’s Siberians.

Photo submitted Photo submitted

Just a few of the people working behind the scenes to film the commercial.

by Brian Coombs The undisputed stars of the latest 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport commercial are furry, run on four legs and are owned by Margie Leopold, of Pretty Pooch Grooming in Cranbrook.

In the commercial, a woman with a team of sled dogs is stuck on one side of a wintry river. A gentleman drives up in his new Land Rover, picks up her and the dogs and ferries them across.

The grateful dogs, and owner, jump out when across the river and the Land Rover drives off into the sunset.

Nash, Reno, Jordan, Nuka and Bliss are Kuvuk Siberian Huskies and according to Leo-

pold, their acting career has not gone to their heads.

“Oh, they are all great dogs,” said Leopold.

“All of them are Canadian Championship dogs. Nash is a Grand American Grand Canadian Champion that was in the top 15 Siberian in Canada in 2014. He was number 10 for awhile. They (the film crew) were so impressed because the dogs were so quiet. The first day they had to sit in the Land Rover for hours and they were so good.”

Leopold’s adventure began with a call from an animal coordinator who had received her name from a friend. The company was looking for Siberians who were pretty, quiet and could
