ELECTION

Hurley ‘frustrated’ with feds on housing ﬁle Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Less than a year after housing dominated Burnaby’s municipal election, the issue remains top-of-mind for many voters ahead of the Oct. 21 federal election. The major parties are promising distinct strategies to improve housing af-

fordability in Burnaby and beyond. Mayor Mike Hurley, who was elected on a housingfocused platform last October, said he has been “very frustrated” with the Trudeau government.The feds have promised billions to build social housing, but the mayor says that money has been completely inac-

cessible. A string of meetings with the Liberal MP for Burnaby North-Seymour,Terry Beech, and one with the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in June, have all been fruitless, Hurley said. “Terry always seems upbeat about it, but the reality is unless you have a shovelready project [you can’t get

federal funding],” the mayor said. The feds have locked the promised funds behind a litany of onerous criteria city staff have found “too tough to crack,” Hurley said. Asked about Hurley’s concerns at a recent Burnaby campaign stop,Trudeau said he “was very happy to sit down with Mayor Mike

Hurley just a few months ago to talk about housing.” Trudeau said his national housing strategy promises $40 billion in investments across the country. He also pointed to his recent campaign promise to make more homes eligible for the first-time homebuyers incentive by raising the maximum value to

$789,000.The shared equity program will help “young families here in Burnaby and across the country,” he said. There are no detached homes on the market in Burnaby with an asking price below $789,000, according to an Oct. 1 multiple listing service search. Continued on page 3

Worker dies in tragic accident in Burnaby

Jessica Kerr

editorial@burnabynow.com

The flag at Vancouver city hall is at half-mast this week as the city mourns the loss of an employee who was killed in a workplace accident in Burnaby over the weekend. Moreno Cerra was working with one of the city’s engineering street crews at Boundary Road and Second Avenue Saturday afternoon when it appears a compressor that was being towed somehow broke loose and rolled down the hill. Cerra was struck by the compressor and suffered devastating injuries. Emergency crews responded and CPR was performed, but he died at the scene. Cerra had worked for the city for 17 years. Watermain and sewer infrastructure work has been taking place in several blocks along Boundary during recent weeks. “Our sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Moreno Cerra who passed away on Saturday, September 28.Thank you for your 17 years of service to the City of Vancou-

Tragedy: The vehicle on the right is believed to have been struck by a rolling compressor, which then veered to the left, killing Morena Cerra (inset). PHOTO SHANE MACKICHAN

ver, Moreno.” The city also took to Twitter in the hopes of identifying a member of the public who helped in the ef-

fort to save Cerra’s life Saturday. “We’ve been made aware that a member of the public kindly assisted at the scene

in trying to save the life of our colleague who sadly passed away on Saturday,” the city tweeted. “We would like to contact this person

to thank them & offer support.” Counselling services have been made available for city staff. Burnaby RCMP,

WorkSafeBC and the BC Coroners Service are all investigating.The city is also conducting its own investigation into the incident.

Parties have wildly different approaches to housing issue Continued from page 1 A NOW MLS search did, however, turn up several condos and townhomes below the threshold. According to a recent City of Burnaby report, the average sale prices are $1,530,700 for detached homes, $783,600 for townhouses and $698,200 for condos. Meanwhile, Conservatives “are ready to address the concerns that Mayor Hurley has stated,” according to the party’s candidate in Burnaby South, Jay Shin. Shin, a corporate lawyer, said his party would “knock down regulatory barriers” to encourage the construction of new homes. “We need to increase the supply of new homes to have more homes on the market at lower prices. It’s just a supply-and-demand issue,” he said. The Conservative also said he believes the federal government has a place in funding housing projects, which can be done without raising taxes by reducing spending elsewhere. NDP Leader and Burn-

Housing crunch: Housing, especially in Metrotown, is a hot topic for Burnaby voters. PHOTO NOW FILES

aby South incumbent Jagmeet Singh is running on a promise to build 500,000 affordable housing units over 10 years. (He defines “affordable” as 30 per cent or less of a region’s median income.) A New Democratic government would achieve that goal by funding co-ops, nonprofits, provinces and cities building affordable homes, he said.

Singh also said he would provide federal land for affordable housing projects. The NDP also promises to eliminate the general sales tax for the construction of affordable units by private developers. The Green Party’s housing policy is based on a belief that housing is a human right, said the party’s New Westminster-Burnaby candidate, Suzanne de Mon-

tigny. “I’m not talking about a big, expensive home, but a place where a person can live, because if you don’t have a starting point, that little nest that belongs to you ... then you’ve got nothing,” de Montigny said. She said the Greens are committed to building 25,000 units of affordable housing per year – half the NDP’s goal.

De Montigny said her party would partner with provinces to get those homes built and would also rehabilitate 15,000 existing units every year. She said the Greens would also increase both the national housing co-investment fund and the Canada housing benefit. Andrey Pavlov, a finance professor at Simon Fraser Univerity’s Beedie School of Business, said he’s largely unimpressed with what the parties have to offer. The Conservatives’ plan to sell federal land to developers is the only proposal sure to increase supply and, in turn, bring prices down, he said. Even if developers choose to build expensive market housing, it will be a move in the right direction, he said. “The important point is I will take any supply. I will even take the wrong supply because any supply, given our supply shortage would help alleviate our affordability issues,” he said. He said the NDP’s plan to eliminate GST for the

construction of affordable housing “would help” but wouldn’t address the biggest barriers developers face – municipal zoning and permitting. The various plans from the Liberals, NDP and Conservatives to fund new affordable housing represent the wrong approach, according to Pavlov. “I’m very happy to pay people who are in need for objective reasons and give them money, but actually providing housing to someone is not that great for them and it’s really bad for society,” he said, noting the assistance one receives when provided a home disappears if they move. Housing is not generally a federal jurisdiction and instead falls to cities and provinces. “The problem is that housing shortages are so severe in Burnaby and Vancouver and the Lower Mainland and Toronto, that this inevitably becomes a campaign issue at any level,” Pavlov said.

B.C. goes after Burnaby man’s condo, jewels

The provincial government is using the civil forfeiture office to try and seize a Burnaby man’s possessions Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The province’s director of civil forfeiture has wasted no time going after the money and possessions of a Burnaby man being investigated for drug trafficking. B.C.’s anti-gang agency (the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit) began watching Matthew Thomas Borden and his stepfather, John Michael Canning, in January, according a notice of civil forfeiture filed in B.C. Supreme Court last month. During a total of 45 days of surveillance over seven months, investigators observed the duo “on various dates conducting short duration meetings consistent with drug trafficking with unknown individuals,” according to the court document. Although neither of the men nor their spouses were observed “attending legitimate employment,” Borden was nonetheless seen depositing large sums of cash at

different Burnaby banks. Investigators also searched through garbage from Canning’s Surrey home and found a plastic bag, latex gloves and an envelope with drug residue on them. Borden and Canning were arrested for trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking on Aug. 29. CASH, DRUGS, CARS, JEWELS A search warrant executed at Borden’s Burnaby condo on Victory Street – where he lived with his spouse, ChiaYin “Vicky” Wang and their two young children – turned up $26,520 in cash, a loaded, untraceable semi-automatic handgun in an unlocked dresser drawer, an AR 15 assault rifle with 100 rounds of ammo, “score sheets,” a scale, a vacuum sealer and jewelry – including a diamond-encrusted ring with an “888” insignia. Another such ring was found at Canning’s proper-

ty in Surrey, along with 700 grams of cocaine and cash. CFSEU investigators concluded Borden and Canning were operating a drug trafficking organization named 888, according to the director of civil forfeiture’s claims. A search of a 2016 Jaguar being leased by Borden at the time, meanwhile, turned up a one-kilogram brick of cocaine, 748 grams of heroin, another partial brick of cocaine, a scale and a vacuum sealer. Police also searched the 2018 Jaguar SUV Borden was driving when he was arrested, turning up $1,750 in cash in the Gucci bag he was carrying, four cellphones and a Rolex in the console.

other seized vehicles are “proceeds and instruments of unlawful activity,” including drug trafficking and money laundering, and should therefore be forfeited to the province.

On Sept. 6, the director successfully applied to have Borden’s bank accounts frozen for 60 days. Neither Borden nor Wang has a criminal record, according to the director’s fil-

arlenes.com

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Wild times for police with Burnaby’s dumb drivers The past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy when it comes to reckless drivers being nailed by the Burnaby RCMP’s traffic enforcement unit. Reading through these incidents makes a person want to bang their head against a wall.They cover so many dangerous things drivers are doing. Here are some examples: ! Two Burnaby drivers racked up $334 in tickets and six driver penalty points each after running two stop signs in a row right in front

of a traffic cop. “I can’t be more visible than that, honestly,” said Const. Denis Arseneault, the Mountie who caught the drivers. Arseneault was set up at Ridgelawn Drive and Springer Avenue in plain view, according to Burnaby RCMP. He watched one driver blow the stop sign and turn right onto Springer.When Arsenault followed the vehicle to pull it over, he saw it ignore another stop sign at Broadway too. Arseneault issued the six points and two tickets for failing to obey a stop

sign, only to see another driver do the same thing a short time later. Burnaby RCMP is now urging drivers to pay attention to traffic control devices. ! A Burnaby driver will be without his brand new Mercedes for a week after police caught him flying through a 30-km/h construction zone at 91 km/h. Arseneault was set up on Broadway between Gaglardi Way and North Road when the Mercedes blew past, according to police.The man driving was fined $483 for

excessive speeding and his vehicle was towed, police said. During six hours of enforcement in the area, Arseneault ticketed 34 people for breaking the speed limit. ! Burnaby RCMP officers removed two dangerous drivers off local roads while they were setting up for an entirely different enforcement project. Officers were setting up in Burnaby as part of Railway Safety Week at 4 a.m. when two impaired drivers were stopped. “Traf-

fic members took two impaired drivers off the road,” say the RCMP. “The first was found to be impaired by alcohol, the second by drugs. Both vehicles were impounded.The driver impaired by drugs stated he was on his way to work.The message is simple - do not drive impaired. Plan for a safe ride home, take a taxi, take transit.” RCMP supplied ICBC stats that said 56 per cent of impaired driving happens between Friday and Sunday, and 38 per cent of impaired driv-

ing happens between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. ! And just last weekend, officers were out early conducting a sobriety roadblock when they caught three people driving while impaired by alcohol, each receiving a driving prohibition and their vehicles impounded. We only wish more efforts could be made to set up roadblocks during highprobability times so we can catch more bad people doing bad things.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Singh impressive on campaign trail He came into the federal election campaign with the lowest expectations of any political party leader, but the federal NDP’s Jagmeet Singh has proven to be formidable campaigner. The question now is if he can translate his good performance into electoral success for his party, which may still find itself in desperate straits despite Singh’s efforts. I have been around him on several occasions and have been impressed with his ability to not only attract crowds, but hold them in his spell. He was mobbed at the climate action march in Victoria Friday and drew a large crowd to a town hall later that evening. The next day, his campaign deftly boarded a BC Ferries vessel, where he found a receptive audience for 90 minutes and later drew hundreds to a rally in Surrey. He seems to be getting a fair amount of attention from young voters who seem particularly drawn to him. It is not quite Singhmania, but his style of campaigning is much closer to Justin Trudeau than anyone else. Singh may even be rivalling Trudeau when it comes to being the selfie king of the campaign. He held his own in the only televised debate so far and no doubt has benefitted from Green leader Elizabeth May’s rough start to the campaign. He seized upon May’s promise that she may possibly support a Scheer Conservative government to paint her party

in right-wing hues. Moreover,Trudeau’s past foibles may have breathed some life into Singh and his party.The polls do not necessarily reflect that – they continue to suggest public opinion has been locked in with little movement since the campaign began – but I think they may be a reason for the crowds he is attracting. And yet, I still wonder if he is trying to push a very large boulder up a rather steep hill. This past weekend, he curiously paid a visit to the riding of Vancouver Kingsway, which normally should be considered a lock for the NDP. Riding visits are of strategic importance so his drop-in there may indicate some nervousness. In Victoria, once considered an NDP stronghold, the Greens seem to be running neck-and-neck with the NDP when it comes to candidate lawn signs on home lawns (as opposed to ones on public property such as boulevards), which are indicative of actual voting intentions. However, he also visited Surrey-Newton, a riding won by the Liberals in 2015 by a huge margin. Singh told me before the campaign began that he thinks the NDP can pull an upset there. I am not so sure about that, but I am sure if the NDP suffers an electoral disaster on Oct. 21, the blame shouldn’t automatically be placed on Singh’s shoulders.

Tax exemption upsets mayor

Mayor Bill Lewarne was “choked” in December when he found out from media reports the Social Credit government was planning legislation to exempt the new advanced light rapid transit system (later dubbed SkyTrain) being built through Burnaby from municipal taxes. City council had already passed its 1985 preliminary budget, and the tax exemption threatened to leave the city with a shortfall of nearly $1 million or more. Mayor and councillors alike complained the government should have made its intentions clear earlier.

Pipeline revenues paying for trees? Not likely Editor: I am surprised that your Sept. 27 Canadian Press online story about (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau’s promise to spend $3 billion planting two billion trees over the next decade simply allowed the assertion that this would be financed by “pipeline revenue.” It is common knowledge that the Parliamentary Budget Officer has reported that Trans Mountain Canada has been operating at a multi-milliondollar loss and that project delays are costing it more millions. Aside from that, the company is going further into debt to cover insurance and construction costs totaling many more millions. So where does this “pipeline revenue” exist, other than at the tip of Mr. Trudeau’s glib tongue? Sounds like another campaign promise, like many before it, that there is no intention to honour. Gene McGuckin, New Westminster Editor’s note: The “pipeline revenue” referred to is future revenues once the TMX project is completed and operational. The government claims revenues can be used even if the pipeline hasn’t yet turned a profit. Revenues could also come from the project being purchased by one of the consortiums planning bids. That is an “if,” but these are potential revenues. As the NOW stated in a 2018 editorial, this project has plenty of boondoggle potential as far as financial success goes.

Stop cutting our trees Editor: This summer, I watched as the City of Burnaby removed several trees along Parker Avenue in Burnaby. It was my understanding that trees are protected if they are over a certain size (all of the trees that were removed were very large, very healthy trees). Last week, the city was at it again. I asked the traffic controller (who refused to say anything more than “I just work (here) and “No, there are no plans to replace the tree.” What gives the city the right to violate its own tree bylaw? These trees that were removed around five to eight at least and counting - were all healthy, over 50 years old and not interfering with any underground pipes. And if they were, then the City of Burnaby should have not planted them there in the first place - duh. The city has taken out trees that were deemed by professionals to be healthy and for what? Please enlighten me what grandiose plan is in play that will make this over-priced, over-populated, poorly designed city “better” as a result of this senseless tree removal? I know there are dozens of citizens who have questioned the City of Burnaby’s tree removals. These trees are not being replaced. The city is spending money removing them, so that must mean that they are making money somewhere along the line by doing so. Nobody - government or business or person - would spend money on a project if there was not some benefit in it. The removal of healthy, old-growth trees benefits no one except land developers.

Citynow Driver dodges rail arms Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP issued more than two dozen tickets at a local railway crossing during Rail Safety Week last week – but the driver who pulled the most dangerous manoeuvre got away. Mounties were set up by the railway crossing at Government and Cariboo roads Wednesday and Thursday. They ticketed 12 drivers for disobeying a traffic-control device, three for being impaired, two for not producing valid driver’s licences and six for having vehicle defects. They also ticketed six commercial vehicles for a “whole range of reasons,” according to Cpl. Mike Kalanj. The most dangerous move officers witnessed, however, came at about 10 a.m.Wednesday morning. A youth with a skateboard drew their notice when he ignored the signal lights and crossed the tracks. The driver of a white van then went one step further,

speeding across the tracks while the lights were flashing and the arms were already lowering. Officers caught the manoeuvre on video. “It’s quite disturbing, safety-wise,” Kalanj told the NOW. If the driver had been caught, he would have been handed a $109 ticket, but Kalanj said that’s nothing compared to what could have happened.

“Don’t speed through railway crossings,” he said. “A ticket could be the least of your worries. It’s dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. It’s better to be late than to cause a collision with a train.” In 2017 (the most current statistics available from the Transportation Safety Board), there were 142 crossing accidents in Canada, including 19 fatal collisions.

CRIME

Murder van believed dumped in Burnaby Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police are linking a burned-out van found in Burnaby to the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old man in Surrey. Surrey RCMP say the man was shot to death Saturday at about 6 p.m. while he was seated inside his vehicle at a Surrey gas station. From the information gathered so far, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says investigators have determined a black male ran away from the shooting site and got into a silver sedan driven by a second black male. Later that night, at about 10 p.m., Burnaby RCMP got a report of a burned silver sedan in the area of Willingdon Avenue and Kemp Street. IHIT said the vehicle may be associated with shooting, and investigators are now looking for witness-

es who may have been in the area or who might have dash cam video of the area near Willingdon Avenue and Kemp Street between 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. The same request for video goes for the 18600 block of Fraser Highway in Surrey between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. “Our investigators and partners are diligently collecting the evidence, and a phone call from the right witness could be the difference-maker in this case,” IHIT Sgt. Frank Jang said in a press release. Police are still in the process of notifying some of the victim’s immediate family of his death, so his name has not been released, but IHIT said the victim was known to police and the shooting is believed to have been targeted. Anyone with information is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448). To remain anonymous,

contact Crime Stoppers at

Burnaby South hopefuls debate climate action Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A debate that started with a Christian drawing the ire of some attendees and an angry outburst from another man quickly settled into a respectful exchange of ideas focused on the climate crisis. As residents began filling the seats at Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s Community Hall on Rumble Street in Burnaby South Thursday evening, a man stood at the side holding a large sign proclaiming, “Jesus is the ethos in the historical development of western liberal democracy.” A woman told the man she was a Christian but found his sign offensive. The man assured an organizer he wasn’t there to disrupt the meeting and was allowed to remain. A man stood up and shouted “He’s not our candidate!” upon seeing New Westminster-BurnabyNDP incumbent Peter Julian take the stage. Moderator Lina Azeez explained Julian was standing in for his party’s leader, and the local incumbent, Jagmeet Singh, who was on the road, leading the New Democrats’ national campaign. She also introduced three of Singh’s opponents who attended the debate: Liberal Neelam Brar, Green BrennanWauters and Al Rawdah of the People’s Party. She said Conservative Jay Shin “declined” an invitation to the debate. Shin told the NOW he wanted to be there but was

visiting his sick father in hospital. While Julian, Brar and Wauters argued their parties’ climate action platforms, Rawdah questioned the science of humancaused climate change.The debate then opened to more policy areas as candidates answered audience questions. Below are some highlights from each of the candidates. NEELAM BRAR, LIBERAL PARTY “Moving away from fossil fuels is a priority of the Liberal Party, but we have to do it in a balanced economic approach. I want to build a strong, more sustainable future for everybody,” she said. Brar touted the Trudeau government’s record on climate change and the Liberals’ campaign promise to bring Canada to carbon neutrality by 2050. Brar said climate action must go hand-in-hand with reconciliation between Indigenous people and nonIndigenous Canadians. “We only move the dial on climate change if we all work together in a meaningful way, and reconciliation is absolutely critical to that. We need to choose forward as a country, and the Liberal Party is definitely your only option to do that,” she said. BRENNAN WAUTERS, GREEN PARTY Wauters said he’s already working towards a clean energy transition as an install-

er of solar panels and a wind turbine technician. “Not only do we have to switch the production of energy, but we have to reduce our energy use drastically very quickly,” he said. The Green Party’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60 per cent compared to 2005 levels is the most ambitious climate plan on offer in this election,Wauters said. But, he said, that transition does not pose the economic threat some believe it does. “It does not mean job losses. It does not mean a reduction in work.This is an opportunity that must be addressed now and rapidly.”

On Indigenous participation in climate action, Wauters said First Nations must have “make-or-break decision-making power” on all mass industrial projects on their territories. He also said Canada owes Indigenous people compensation for natural resources taken from their territories. PETER JULIAN (FOR JAGMEET SINGH), NDP Julian repeatedly attacked the Liberal government for its purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline and the approval of its proposed twinning. The New Democrat touted his party’s version of the Green New Deal – a suite

of policies proposed for a wholesale energy transition. Julian touted his party’s bill that would have implemented the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples that died in the Senate – the fault of Liberal and Conservative senators alike, he said. “What we have is a government, under Mr. Trudeau, that does not walk the talk.We’ve seen this with a number of boil-water advisories that continue across Indigenous communities. We see this when we look at the refusal by Mr.Trudeau and his government to actively make the resources available to Indigenous communities that they are

crying out for.” AL RAWDAH, PEOPLE’S PARTY “It’s not that I don’t believe in climate change or we, as a party, don’t believe in climate change. It happens all the time. It’s been going on for hundreds of thousands of years,” Rawdah said, in response to a question about his party’s energy transition plan. Rawdah said his party would preserve Indigenous cultures. “They’re all a very important part of our society. Why? Because they are native to our land here, and I like to think of us all as Canadians,” he said.

Greens propose ‘robot tax’ to deal with automation Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

If it forms government, the Green Party says it will implement a “robot tax,” a policy developed and announced by Burnaby North-Seymour candidate Amita Kuttner. The robot tax, the party says, would be equal to the income tax revenue of jobs lost to automation and artificial intelligence. “Our policy focuses on five different fronts, the most important of which is that artificial intelligence and many merging technologies actually represent the

great promise of our future and an economy driven not by natural resources and oil and fossil fuels but rather technology,” Kuttner said. “Second is to make sure, as more and more profit and more and more revenue comes from automation, that we actually get that revenue to the people rather than just letting it stay in the massive corporations.We’re proposing a robot tax for every automated job; we will take tax revenue from large corporations that is equivalent to the income tax that would have been paid for the worker.” Kuttner, who has a PhD

in astrophysics, said the policy would be “really complicated to implement,” so the party plans to study ways to properly implement a tax. No other jurisdiction has implemented such a tax so far, Kuttner noted, but the idea isn’t entirely new. Microsoft founder Bill Gates proposed such a policy as early as 2017. Small businesses would be exempt from the tax, Kuttner said, to avoid detrimental impacts on those businesses. The tax, which would go into general revenue, is one part of how the Green Party intends to fund some of

its initiatives, including free post-secondary education. Education is another party platform plank that could address the ill-effects of automation by offering training to those who have lost jobs to machines. “This is something that is going to be different than any technological revolution that we’ve had before. It’s going to come faster, and it’s going to impact nearly every single industry. So we need to prepare; we can’t let anyone fall through,” Kuttner said. “We need a just transition for technology and innovation just as we do for fossil fuel workers.”

Burnaby businesses among country’s fastest-growing Dustin Godfrey

A Burnaby-based natural health product company has been named one of Canadian Business and Maclean’s Growth 500 ranking of Canada’s fastest-growing companies. WithinUs Natural Health, which was founded in 2013, placed 65th on the annual list of 500 businesses, with a reported 1,378 per cent growth over five years. The company is noted in the ranking to have 10 employees and raked in between $2 million and $5 million in revenue in 2018. WithinUs develops anti-aging products using marine collagen peptides in dietary supplements. The wholesale and distribution company began as a product made for friends and family, said CEO Tami

That includes celebrity endorsements, including from Kate Hudson, Debra Messing and Michelle Obama. “What is incredibly special about these accolades is that they are completely unsolicited,” Nasu said. “They are simply people who love our products and want to share that with others.” Five other Burnaby businesses ranked on the list, including: #226: Greenlight Innova-

Loop Energy, which develops fuel-cell products for truck and bus manufacturers, isn’t saying how much Cummins spent. But spokesperson Debby Harris said the cash investment was “meaningful and what we would have hoped for from a strategic investor.” She added that the investment was for equity in Loop Energy, and Cummins has the right to acquire more in the future. “Cummins’ investment in Loop Energy affirms the positioning of our company and technologies to meet the demand for a cost-effective alternative to the internal combustion engine in commercial trucking,” said Ben Nyland, CEO of Loop Energy. “This new investment by Cummins is solid evidence of the traction we are gaining in the market through investments, customer orders, and vehicle demonstration programs.” Cummins vice-president of corporate strategy Thad Ewald said the company is committed to “next-generation trucking technologies.” “We look forward to working with Loop Energy

Smash the state

Joe Keithley’s journey from raging punk rocker to Burnaby’s newest civic politician

(Or become a city councillor instead)

story by Kelvin Gawley

oey Sh**head has been possessed. A politician has taken control of the punk rocker, stuffed him in a suit and given him a new name: Councillor Joe Keithley. The man who sang Smash the State is now a cog in the political machine he spent decades raging against.The guy who pilloried developers for their heartless greed now calls them “nice people.” And the punk who penned anti-police anthems now boasts of a “good relationship” with the local detachment. What the hell happened? " few dozen people huddled around a laptop in Joe Keithley’s kitchen to watch results roll in for the 2018 municipal election. He was in ninth place most of the night – one spot short of a seat on council. It was familiar territory. Another election loss was nothing new. He could keep fighting the system from the outside. Then his daughter refreshed the page. Suddenly, Keithley was in the top eight. “I was like, ‘Oh… really?’ ” he recalls months later. By the end of the night, he held the eighth and final spot. After decades of playing the outside agitator, Keithley was suddenly on the inside.The punk cracked a beer and thought to himself, “OK, I’m in this now. I’ve got nobody to blame but myself.” " he music came first. At age 11, Joe Keithley was transfixed by a drummer playing in a jazz band at his sister’s wedding. He was soon banging on a kit of his own, much to his father’s chagrin. (“He was super square. My dad was completely right wing.”) Next came the guitar. And some of his Burnaby North Secondary classmates became bandmates. Then came the politics. It was the early ’70s, theVietnamWar was raging, and the Americans were about to test nuclear weapons off Alaska’s Amchitka Island. Keithley, then 16, marched out of school with 300 fellow students, joining a

ACTIVISM: A sticker on Joe Keithley’s guitar displays D.O.A.’s slogan: “Talk – Action = 0.” The punk rocker has become a suburban dad and grandfather – and, as of October 2018, a Burnaby city councillor. He sat down to talk with NOW reporter Kelvin Gawley about his journey. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

protest organized by Greenpeace. “The principal tried to block us in the driveway,” Keithley recalls. “One grown man against all these kids.” They marched to Alpha,Van Tech and Britannia, picking up more kids at each high school en route to the main protest in downtownVancouver. Along the way, Keithley’s bandmate, Ken “Dimwit” Montgomery, thumped a homemade bass drum, keeping the young rabble rousers on pace. Ever since, music and activism have been fused at the centre of Keithley’s life in the combination of brazen politics and brash sounds known as punk rock.The teens loved the new genre. It was the perfect antidote to the “mundane” music they heard on the radio – bands like Led Zeppelin and

Rebels with a cause: The original D.O.A. trio, seen in 1978. Left to right: Chuck Biscuits, Randy Rampage and Joey Sh**head. PHOTO DON DENTON, CONTRIBUTED

Deep Purple, who were “just about the rock” with no greater message, Keithley recalls. Punk was different. “You could express yourself musically and lyrically pretty well any way you wanted and be outrageous … the way rock was supposed to be before it was co-opted by Elvis Presley.” So the Burnaby boys formed a band – The Skulls. Later, it became D.O.A. In the four decades since, D.O.A. has released 17 studio albums, toured the world many times over and has cemented itself as one of the world’s most famous, outspoken and long-lasting punk groups.The band has been through many lineup changes, with only one constant: Keithley, known onstage as Joey Sh**head, on guitar and vocals. DaleWiese, owner ofVancouver record store Noize to Go, first saw D.O.A play a (literally) underground club in Edmonton in the ’70s. “Right from the first note, I’d never seen anything so powerful from three people.The sheer power of the delivery and ferocity of it – and yet, it was tuneful and the songs were well-structured,” he recalls. “This idea of trying to make a difference through music wasn’t exactly new; they just added a lot of amplification and volume.” All these years later, D.O.A.’s fierce music is still ringing in the ears of punks young and old.Wiese says his best seller this summer was a new compilation of D.O.A.’s early music. " eithley estimates at least half – maybe two-thirds – of the dozens of songs he’s written are explicitly political.

He targets violent cops in The Enemy. In Slumlord, he describes a “neighbourhood bully …Waving his finger like a pistol / Flapping his jaw like Adolf Hitler.” ClassWar leaves nothing to the imagination: “I want a war between the rich and the poor.” And the message is even more blunt in 1981’s Smash the State: “Kill Pierre Trudeau … Kill Ronnie Regan … Kill Margaret Thatcher … Kill them all.” But Keithley has done more than bellow rabid polemics from stage and studio. An equation emblazoned on thousands of black T-shirts worn around the world serves as the band’s slogan: “Talk - Action = 0.” D.O.A. has campaigned against pulp and paper mills polluting Howe Sound. They played Rock against Radiation in Vancouver and Rock Against Racism in Chicago. To draw attention to planned logging of old-growth forest, D.O.A travelled to the SteinValley in 1986. Local loggers tried to shut the benefit concert down.They didn’t take kindly to the punks coming in from the city to tell them what (not) to do. “You don’t show up to a chainsaw fight armed with a guitar,” Keithley laughs more than 30 years later as he sits at his kitchen table, aging dogs lounging at his feet. When B.C. Premier Bill Bennett cut aid to women’s groups and curtailed workers’ bargaining rights, some in the province called for widespread labour action. D.O.A. agreed and recorded a new song, General Strike, in solidarity. In the early ’80s, a friend of Keithley’s took the “action” maxim much further.

Keithley is ‘a legitimate class warrior’

Continued from page 16 punk group The Subhumans, was a member of the Squamish 5, a guerilla group found guilty in a series of politically motivated bombings. When the group was arrested, D.O.A. played a benefit concert fundraising for their legal defence. Keithley said he was convinced the Squamish 5 wouldn’t get a fair trial and wanted to help, despite vehemently disagreeing with their tactics. “One of the reasons Canada is one of the greatest places in the world is that there’s a level of civil discourse where we don’t settle things by killing people, hijacking, kidnapping, blowing up people.We always have to keep that in mind, or we go down a really bad slope,” Keithley says. " eithley made his first foray into politics with the B.C. Greens in 1996.The party had six guiding principles but no platform.They supplied him with three cloth signs emblazoned with sunflowers – and nothing else. He printed his own flyers, bribed his young kids with candy to distribute them and called it a campaign. He came in fourth, pulling less than two per cent of the vote in BurnabyWillingdon. The next year, he teamed up with neighbours who were trying to stop the sale of public land to Kodak.The Community Environment Responsibility party candidates “got shelled” in that municipal election, finishing at the bottom of the pack. In 2001, the provincial Greens had a more fulsome platform, a new leader in Adriane Carr, more signs and more pamphlets. Keithley ran again, earning a respectable third-place finish, with nearly 15 per cent of the vote. After a few years away from politics, he decided to run for the NDP in 2012 but failed to win the nomination in Coquitlam. He was back with the Greens for a 2016 byelection and the general provincial election in 2017 – a breakthrough year that saw three Green MLAs elected but still left Keithley on the outside, looking in. That finally changed in 2018. As the municipal election neared, Keithley helped assemble a municipal Green party.They first planned to run the punk rocker as a mayoral candidate to oust longtime incumbent Derek Corrigan, but Keithley changed course, endorsing independent Mike Hurley for mayor, and sought a council seat instead. By the end of election night – Oct. 20, 2018 – Hurley had won the mayor’s chair and Keithley the eighth and final councillor’s chair.The two would soon sit alongside seven incumbent councillors they had spent

much of the campaign criticizing. As he sipped his celebratory beer, Keithley thought of the road ahead. “I’m elected now, so I’m going to make the best of it,” he thought. " n the beginning, the newly elected politician was relatively quiet at public meetings, taking time to listen and learn how to work within the system. Keithley admits to encountering a “steep curve” as he tried to keep up with councillors with decades more experience. He eventually began piping up – something he’d been doing his whole life – but the language he used in council chambers was a little more delicate than his lyrics. When council approved a new bike lane, he said he looked forward to riding it with his grandson. He spoke against a proposed liquor store, worried about the impact it would have on traffic. And he has pushed for the city to accelerate construction of new sidewalks, an initiative he feels is of particular importance to seniors. Mere weeks after returning from D.O.A.’s latest European tour, he brought forward a motion asking staff to study the “advisability and feasibility” of banning the advertisement of e-cigarettes on city-owned structures, calling the bus-shelter billboards “a really bad influence on our youth.” As a member of the mayor’s housing task force, he sat alongside the very developers he long criticized. Rather than call them “neighbourhood bullies,” he now

says, “They were nice people, but their idea would be that we have no taxes and [the city allows them to] just build as many buildings as they can.” Sh**head wrote at least four “anti-police” songs, including Royal Police, in which he belts “they’re bloody fools ... with their stupid rules ... kick’em out ... beat’em about.” But Keithley now says, “I don’t know if I’m friends, but I have a good relationship with the chief superintendent and the different members of the RCMP, and I’ve gotten along with them really good.” “Policing today in Canada is a lot more gentle and kind than it was 30, 40 years ago. The police thing is ‘To protect and serve,’ and if they don’t, there should be an inquiry into it,” he says. “Not to couch words too much.” " ow can a man who wrote about killing Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in Smash the State reconcile that message with his new, tamer rhetoric? “I’m not the same man I was at 20 when I wrote that,” explains the now-63-year-old with a wife of 33 years, three kids, a grandchild and a silver minivan parked in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac. The song was never intended to be taken literally, he says. It was merely a punk’s way of condemning the actions of politicians he didn’t like.When he sings the song now, modern leaders are targeted instead, including Donald Trump andVladimir Putin. Sometimes he’s asked “Where’s your guitar?Where’s your mohawk?” by seemingly disappointed fans. “The ones that would expect the sort of caricature punk rocker to be there … that’s not happening.” " he gap between Keithley’s songs and his statements as a politician should not be read as contradictory or disingenuous, says Catherine Corrigall-Brown, a University of British Columbia sociologist who studies activism. “A song is art, and art often pushes messages to the extreme,” she says. “If you said ‘Inequality in society has increased over time, and there are 15 reasons why,’ that’s already quite boring, right?You break out with ‘Down with the state!’ that’s much more interesting.” “The cost of that is the more nuanced part of your message gets lost.” According to Corrigall-Brown, Keithley’s trajectory is quite common: activists often change tactics later in life while remaining committed to their cause. Rather than

marching in the streets, true believers often turn to law, social work or – sometimes – politics. People don’t really change, she says. “We have this stereotype that people are super radical when they’re young, and then they become really conservative when they’re old – they kind of grow out of their radicalness. It actually turns out that, for the vast majority of people, your political attitudes when you’re 20 are pretty similar to your political attitudes when you’re 60.” " eithley is adjusting to the slow pace of change at city hall, where nothing happens overnight. Reports, plans, consultation and studies take months before council can take definitive action. “As an activist and as a would-be politician before I got elected, I thought, ‘Damn, why doesn’t council do stuff faster?’ And people would say to me, ‘Joe, you can’t fight city hall.’ “And I always hated that expression and thought, ‘Of course you can fight city hall.’ ” But now he’s on the other side. “The activists would have us build 50,000 housing units and have them operating in six months. It’s not going to happen.You can’t build stuff that fast.You can’t set aside the land that quickly. “Now I realize there’s a lot of competing interests.” Hurley says Keithley has been “very adamant” on housing and other issues close to his heart since being elected – just not “in a radical way that he’s sung about in his songs.” “He’s realized that probably that smashmouth approach doesn’t work.” The first time Coun. NickVolkow saw his new colleague, he was thrashing onstage at Vancouver concert. “Those guys had a lot of high energy,” he recalls. ButVolkow says he’s not too surprised to see a different character sitting beside him at council meetings. Keithley has “taken to the job really well,” Volkow says, pointing to his laser-focus on social justice and environmental issues. “You know what? I’m going to use the term – he’s a legitimate class warrior.” Wiese, who has known Keithley for decades, attributes Keithley’s new approach to his years of world travel, saying, “He’s become something of a diplomat.” Keithley, meanwhile, sees it in simpler terms. “I kind of was an unofficial politician for 40 years, and I guess on October 20th I became an official politician.”

A bright orange skyscraper breaks apart under the beating rays of a raging sun in a painting created by Anne Saint Louis outside Burnaby City Hall. The image is a modern re-imagining of a tarot card that traditionally depicts a crumbling medieval tower. “The tower indicates great change – great emergency change needed,” Saint Louis explained. “The vision is we need to change to something else, maybe this,” she said, pointing to a robust tree painted opposite the tower. The artist was among some two dozen participants in a Sept. 16 art jam organized by environmental group Force of Nature to “reimagine Burnaby’s future.”The event was organized in recognition of Burnaby city council’s recent declaration of a climate emergency and its commitment to reach carbon neu-

Artsnow Burnaby actor stars in Dancing Lessons A geophysics professor with Asperger’s syndrome needs to learn to dance for an awards dinner. He approaches a Broadway dancer to teach him - and there unfolds the story of Mark St. Germain’s Dancing Lessons. The Western Canadian premiere of the American playwright’s work is onstage Oct. 4 to 20 at the Jericho Arts Centre.

It’s being brought to the stage by Naked Goddess Productions, a Jessie Richardson Award-nominated company that was co-founded by Burnaby resident Sandra Medeiros. Medeiros, the company’s artistic director, also stars in the production alongside Andrew Coghlan. The play, described as “heartwarming and humorous,” traces the relationship

that grows between the professor and the dancer – who is recovering from an injury that may yet end her dancing career permanently. “As their relationship unfolds, they are both caught off guard by the discoveries they make about each other and themselves,” says a press release. The play is directed by Sarah Rodgers. Dancing Lessons is onstage

In the spotlight: Andrew Coghlan and Sandra Medeiros in Dancing Lessons, onstage Oct. 4 to 20 at the Jericho Arts Centre.

City now Get that elf off the shelf already Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Strolling through a bigname bookstore with my kids, my eyes fall on a display propped up in the centre of the main aisle, with a pyramid of Elf on the Shelf boxes taunting me. Beside the boxes sit stacks of Christmas attire and accoutrements for the haunting holiday nymph, and as my kids gleefully point out the newest props that they want me to purchase, I can feel my blood boil. October has only just begun, and I’ve barely made my way through the burdens of the back-to-school season. I’m already haunted by the pressure to procure the perfect Halloween costumes for all three of my kids, so the chilling sight of Christmas cheer leaves me feeling a mix of anxiousness and anger. The push of pumpkin spice everything before the summer came to a close was irksome enough, but

the sight of Santa, snowflakes, and season’s greetings spewed on store shelves is just plain stressing me out. And it’s not just the premature promotion of the holidays in stores that I find to be bothersome; the bug has hit the virtual world as well. The other day I was happily scrolling through my Facebook feed, admiring photos of my friends’ kids and laughing at mindless memes, when it happened. As my thumb swiped up, a photo of Buddy from the movie Elf, posing in an enthusiastic “I know him!” pose, was shared with accompanying text that read, “Only 12 weeks until Christmas!” Upon seeing that, I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Articles with titles such as “It’s Never Too Early For Christmas Decorations!” have been sneaking up on me spontaneously since June, and to that I say, “Yes, yes it is.”The author of the aforementioned article notes: “Our philosophies on holiday decorating

THANK YOU FOR RECYCLING THIS NEWSPAPER. Shelve the elf: It’s barely October – this pesky little guy needs to go away until it’s actually close to Christmas. PHOTO ISTOCK

are ‘the more the merrier’ and ‘the sooner the better,’” highlighting the benefits of starting the celebrations early, such as, “it’ll make your neighbours like you,” “you can show off your DIYs” and “it could make you happier.”To these excuses I say, “Bah, humbug.” If I hear a neighbour humming Jingle Bells as they walk past my house or see the sight of holiday lights and door-donning wreaths at the start of October, I can guarantee that I won’t like them more as a result. You may think that I’m

being brash about the early onslaught of the holiday season, but come on, us parents can only handle so much pressure. Let us get through the to-do’s of Halloween and Thanksgiving, and then we’ll settle in and set up for the most celebrated season of the year. Don’t get me wrong, I love the holiday season, but let’s rein it in and keep the elf off the shelf – at least until my summer tan lines have faded.

Talent, ﬁtness big parts to Panthers rise After fielding no team in 2018, the Moscrop senior boys soccer program has returned with a 3-0 start Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Getting off to a strong start was one of the goals for members of the Moscrop Panthers. Having not fielded a team in the Burnaby-New West senior boys league last year, the squad wanted to set a tone for the short sprint that is high school soccer. At 3-0 after racking up victories over Byrne Creek, Burnaby North and Burnaby Central, it’s all systems go.

The Panthers continued their winning ways Monday with a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the Central Wildcats, getting a late goal from Grade 11 Luke Aleong to collect the three points. They tested their unblemished record yesterday (past the NOW’s deadline) against the 3-0 New Westminster Hyacks. Moscrop coach Colleen Gaskell says the skill and fitness level of her team remains the engine to its great start. “Without being overconfident, I

just feel this team is a special team because they’re strong in every position.There is no weak link. In saying that, the league is going to be very competitive, and everyone seems to be very close in scores,” she said. Minus Zachariah Thomas, who is preparing for next week’s national championships, and two midfielders, the team shook off an early mix-up that saw the Wildcats take a 1-0 lead on an own goal. After Aleong replied with his first goal of the game, Burna-

by Central countered and retook the lead on a skilled play. But Nour Masoud again deadlocked the game for Moscrop, setting the stage for Aleong’s game winner. The Panthers kicked off the season with wins of 4-0 and 4-1 over Byrne Creek and Burnaby North. Gaskell, who coached the junior boys to the Burnaby-New West league final last season, has been suitably impressed with the focus and talent that has come to play. “The skill level is so high and the fitness is amazing and work

ethic – I just never have to talk about working hard; they always do,” she said. Moscrop’s roster includes two Mountain United players – Aleong and Thomas – who along with JackYaremko, have provided some great on-field leadership. “My expectation is we play hard and every game will hopefully get us closer to winning that banner” said Gaskell. Next Monday the Panthers face Burnaby South at Burnaby Lake West complex.

FOOTBALL

Knights QB hits his targets First-year pivot guides STM to win over Fox Pre-season questions have been replaced by early season success, with the St.Thomas More Knights looking like knights of old. By beating Western Conference nemesis the Terry Fox Ravens 21-11 last week, Burnaby’s high school football team is now a solid 2-0 and rising up the 3-A senior varsity provincial charts. The Knights wasted little time in establishing a tone at Town Centre, jumping ahead 15-0 on the strength of a pair of touchdowns and a safety. First-year quarterback Anthony DeLazzari fired a 40-yard TD pass to receiver Gabe Nacario to open the scoring. It was followed a few plays later when the STM defence hemmed Terry Fox deep into their zone, where a botched snap led to a two-point safety. Grade 11 running back Nick Osho put up the second major, striding in from 10 yards. Although the Ravens pushed back, getting to within four points, the Knights got the last word on another Osho run, his third of the season. DeLazzari continues to look more confident as each game goes by, completing 17 of 22 pass attempts for 180 yards. He now sits among the province’s top-10 quarterbacks, completing 68 per cent of his passes and 275 yards over two league games. The young pivot was also successful in spreading the success, with seven different receivers making catches. Osho took the ball 20 times and accounted for 157 yards rushing. Defensively, Kaishaun Carter racked up four tackles, while Luca Iallanardo picked up three. The Knights now face the Kelowna Owls on Friday, 4:30 p.m. at Burnaby Lake complex.

Chiefs get on a roll against Silvertips Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

They didn’t score first, but the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs made sure to score last in their two-game set last week against the North Island Silvertips. The Burnaby-based Chiefs outlasted the visiting Silvertips to skate off with 4-3 and 8-3 victories, improving to 2-2 in early action in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. Sunday saw the squad erase a 2-1 hole with goals by Daniel Juca and Luke Roberts a minute apart late in the first period, leading to a strong finish. Burnaby got two goals each from Burnaby’s Jaden Christian Uy and Maple Ridge’s Jack Foster, closing

out with three powerplay tallies. Also scoring were Luke Roberts and Burnaby players Dante Berrettoni and Kaidan Johnson. It came a day after the hosts rallied in a see-saw affair where Port Moody’s Christian Lowe netted the game winner with just 1:17 to play. The Silvertips rolled out to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes, before the Chiefs pulled even with markers by Juca, a Burnaby product, and Dylan Smail.Tanner Terness gave the home team its first lead of the game, but North Island replied just four minutes later to tie it, setting up Lowe’s heroics. The twin wins bumped the Chiefs into a tie with South Island for fourth place at 2-2-0-0.

This weekend the Chiefs host the Thompson Blazers, 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 11:30 a.m. on Sunday. Both games are at Burnaby 8-Rinks. This year’s edition boasts a lot of new faces looking to take the circuit by storm, while a handful of veterans have taken up the leadership torch. Add in a new face at coach, and you have an ideal situation where expectations are untethered to past efforts. Chiefs coach Jim Camazzola notes the learning curve for players making the leap to major midget from the bantam and minor midget ranks is fairly steep, but it’s all part of a maturing process as they chase “the dream.” “This is a young group and we

have just four returnees from last season,” said Camazzola, who coached the program’s minor midget team a year ago. “It’s usually the second year where you get (the success), so it’s all about learning and a process.” The BCMML season kicked off last weekend, when the 8-Rinks-based Chiefs ventured out to the Fraser Valley to play the defending champion Valley Thunderbirds, and came away with identical 5-3 losses. Building a team often requires patience and an ability to adjust the plan as players progress. Camazzola says, at this stage, everyone is still composing chemistry experiments with new linemates and pairings. Continued on page 33

Grandview blanks Delta

Jack Hamilton’s first period goal proved to be the winner as the Grandview Steelers blanked the Delta Icehawks 3-0 on Sunday. Hamilton opened the scoring with his fourth of the season 4:39 into the first period. It wasn’t until early in the middle frame that Ethan Reilly added the team’s second tally, while Vincent Timperio upped the lead to three with 13 minutes left in the third.

Posting his second shutout of the season by turning aside 19 shots was Cale Dolan. A few days earlier, Dolan faced 46 shots and turned back all but three in a 4-2 loss to North Van. The Steelers visit White Rock on Saturday, and return to Burnaby to play Aldergrove on Sunday, 7:15 pm. at the Winter Club.

Maple Ridge, have typically been a serious challenger every second season. With a rookie-heavy lineup this time around, many would suggest that this season will have more moral victories than tangible ones. Camazzola feels the talent and makeup of his squad could surprise.

“We might be middleof-the-pack, but you never know,” he said. “My goal is primarily to just be competitive. I want the kids to put the effort in, that if we win – great. But if you’re pushing and in the game right to the end, that’s something we can work with.”

Five-year ﬁxed rates to drop to 2.77%, then hold: BCREA Five-year discounted mortgage interest rates are still falling and will drop to an average of 2.77 per cent by the end of the year, then hold firm for a full year, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association’s latest forecast. The average fixed five-year rate in 2019’s third quarter is expected to be 2.86 per cent, which is down from an average of 3.16 per cent in Q2. This is just an average, as some five-year fixed rates are currently available as low as 2.25 per cent.

VARIABLE RATES

The five-year qualifying rate is expected to hold firm at 5.19 per cent, having been reduced from 5.34 per cent earlier this year. Under current rules, this means mortgage applicants will still have to qualify at this rate to pass the B-20 “stress test” (or their contract rate plus two per cent, whichever is higher), despite contract mortgage rates (the amount they will actually pay each month) dropping.

The Bank of Canada’s overnight rate — which variable mortgages are based on — is expected to hold firm, although the BCREA did not rule out a decline if the Bank decides to follow the U.S. Federal Reserve’s lead.

A drop to an average of 2.77 per cent by the end of 2019 could see some discounted mortgage rate offerings go almost as low as two per cent.

Burnaby / Tri-Cities

BCREA said in its forecast that one key reason for declining rate was because “rising trade tensions between the United States and China fed growing fears of a global economic slowdown. Those fears pulled long-term Canadian interest rates low enough to invert the Canadian [bond] yield curve, a frequent — though not infallible — pre cursor to recession. As bond yields fell, the average fiveyear contract rate offered by Canadian lenders declined to an average of 2.86 per cent, with five-year fixed rates as low as 2.25 per cent

Overall, the report’s outlook for the Canadian economy was one of very cautious optimism. “We expect the Canadian economy will post trend growth of about 1.8 per cent in 2020,

HOME SALES* Attached Detached

On future interest rate changes, the report authors concluded, “The baseline outlook for the Canadian economy is not signalling the need for further stimulus… Policymakers remain wary of reigniting a build-up in household debt, particularly after imposing policies designed to bring those debt burdens down.

BATYI, Robert F. July 15, 1930 − May 16, 2019

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Peter after a two−year battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a loving husband to his wife of 54 years, Elfriede, and caring father of his two children − daughter, Susannah (Jason Moore), and son, Daniel (Allison Mounsey). He leaves his adored grandchildren, Max and Mia Moore, and Elliott, Tessa, and Megan Rohloff. Peter was born in Greifswald, Germany, but the family was relocated to Lübeck at the end of the war. While studying English and Geography at the University of Hamburg, a student from Vancouver convinced Peter to apply for a scholarship to UBC, where he met Elfriede Richter. They returned to Germany to complete their studies and were married in 1965. They then moved back to Vancouver, where Peter finished his PDP at SFU. In January of 1971, Peter started his 30−year career as a teacher at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary. He soon started an after−school string group, developed a full orchestra curriculum, and, eventually, conducted the school choirs. He pioneered the VSB Strings program, preparing elementary school kids for high school orchestra. With a newborn daughter, the family moved to Burnaby in 1973. In 1975, his son arrived. Over the next decade, Peter took courses to further his music education, showed astonishing carpentry skills in renovating his house, took his family on cross−country camping journeys, trips to visit family in Germany, and skiing or sailing adventures. On a years’ leave in 1998, he and Elfriede went on a 7−month journey around the world by sea and by train. After retirement, they travelled extensively, most notably through the Northwest Passage to Greenland and Antarctica via the Falkland Islands. Peter was always involved in music. He organized and played in various quartets and ensembles. He conducted church, community, and club choirs, led the Intermediate VYSO, and started the Johann Strauss Ensemble. Peter was especially passionate about a series of Baroque music concerts that he organized for seven seasons at Redeemer Lutheran Church. He sang with Chor Leoni, played in the West Coast Symphony, and started a music publishing company to promote local composers, as well as music that his grandfather and great uncles composed. We are very thankful for the excellent care that Peter received at Burnaby Hospital and St. Michael’s Hospice. In lieu of flowers, Peter would want you to support the local classical music scene. A celebration of life will be held on October 26, at 10 am at First Lutheran Church, 5745 Wales Street, Vancouver, with a reception to follow.

Bobby B. passed quietly after five years suffering the increasing challenges of vascular dementia. He was raised in Cadomin, AB, and spent his adult life in Burnaby, working 37 years for Canada Safeway. He loved frequent holidays in Maui, road trips to Alaska, playing hockey, bowling, golf, karaoke, dancing, rock and roll and hot cars. He is remembered by his five children, four grandchildren and friends for his enthusiastic embracing of life.
