Citynow DEVELOPMENT

Residents mobilize against Bainbridge plans Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

A group of residents has served a petition to the City of Burnaby voicing opposition to details of its proposed urban village plans for the Bainbridge area.

Burnaby resident Liliane Mercier and other Government Road-area residents say they are opposed to the inclusion of “Bainbridge East Area” in the proposal, which has been going through an engagement process.

The city plan area boundary survey results in phase one saw a mix of options of the inclusion of the Bainbridge East and Broadway South areas, which now are primarily single-family residential neighbourhoods.

Phase one also showed interest in including city -owned forested lands along Phillips Avenue in the plan area, and more general planning for surrounding public and private lands in a holistic way as part of the Urban Village.

The city said that, based on feedback, phase two would continue to explore and gather input on more

specific options on how the plan could include direction for the Broadway South and Bainbridge East areas.

“Government Road area residents do not agree with the proposal to extend the focus area of the Bainbridge Urban Village to include the Bainbridge East Area and maintain that development should be contained within, and limited to, Phase 1 of the focus area boundaries, including schools and parks,” the petition started by Mercier states.

Although the petition states 386 signed letters, Mercier told the NOW closer to 400 were being delivered to the city Sept.

3 to show what the petition claims is widespread opposition to certain aspects of the proposal.

Upwards of 500 homes were canvassed, according to Mercier.

The city agreed that the survey in phase one was broad-reaching and anonymous.

“We are unable to verify if each respondent is truly in the postal code they have indicated,” the city said in an email to Mercier.

They also say the ma-

Future urban village? Rendering of the Bainbridge concept. PHOTO CITY OF BURNABY

jority of respondents said they are from the “northeast Burnaby area” while some of the outreach and notification methods used were wider-reaching.

“Our direct postcard notification mail-outs were concentrated on residents and property owners within and around the Bainbridge neighbourhood,” the email continues.

“We feel confident that with over 500 responses to the survey, we are hearing from a good cross-section of voices from within and around the area.”

But Mercier, and those included in the petition, disagree with the city’s position, saying the information that was collected doesn’t represent the area residents accurately.

“The number of signed letters received directly contradicts the Phase 1 survey results and clearly illustrates that there is widespread opposition to the proposal to expand the focus area development boundaries east of Bainbridge,” Mercier said.

“We submit that these letters are a more accurate, representative and reliable

reflection of the views of Government Road-area residents, since each letter contains a verifiable address.

“The same cannot be said of the Phase 1 survey results since, as the Bainbridge team concedes, ‘the survey was broad-reaching and anonymous, [therefore] we are unable to verify if each respondent is truly in the postal code they have indicated.’”

The petition asks that the document and letters be shared with council for information and consideration when the draft com-

munity plan is reviewed.

“City planners should undertake to gather verifiable information to ensure that any development proposal they submit to city council for approval is based on accurate, reliable data that is protected from any form of manipulation,” Mercier said.

In the summer of 2020, city council gave staff the go-ahead to begin public consultations on developing urban village plans for the Bainbridge and Lochdale areas – the former located around the Sperling SkyTrain station and the latter at the east end of Hastings Street.

Assistant director of current planning Jesse Dill said in August 2020 that the intention was to increase the city’s housing stock beyond the four town centres, where plans call for high-density developments – namely highand mid-rise apartment buildings.

City council gave the go-ahead on May 31 for phase two of consultations to begin while phase three is scheduled for fall of this year.

Citynow Crews battle Labour Day house fire Mattress may have been the ignition point for Pandora Street blaze Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A mattress may have been the ignition point for a Labour Day house fire in Burnaby, but the incident is still under investigation, according to the Burnaby Fire Department.

Firefighters were called to the 4700 block of Pandora Street just after 6 p.m.

Monday for reports of a building fire, assistant fire Chief Gavin Summers told the NOW. On arrival, crews saw smoke coming from the house.

They forced open the door to the basement suite and discovered “black, heavy smoke” inside, Summers said.

“It seems it could be the mattress was the ignition point,” he said. “That’ll explain why it was just smoke and smoldering fire.”

Summers said fire investigators would likely be on scene Tuesday.

A search didn’t locate anyone in the building.

On the job: Firefighters responded to a fire in the basement suite of a home on Pandora Street Monday.

Jeep fire under Police are investigating a suspicious vehicle fire close to the Parkland Refinery in North Burnaby last week.

Firefighters were on scene on McGill Street by McGill Park right beside the refinery shortly after 3 a.m. on Sept. 8, according to local resident Daniel Fiss. “(A) large bang woke me up at around 3:10 a.m., and when I saw sirens and flames out my bedroom window, I went out to investigate,” Fiss said in an email to the NOW. “(It) took about 20 minutes to put out the fire, and then three RCMP vehicles showed up to talk to the fire crew and look inside the vehicle.”

Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Brett Cunningham said the burning vehicle, an older model Jeep Cherokee, had been reported stolen in East Vancouver, and police are investigating the fire as suspicious.

“It’s under investigation at this point whether it was tied into any other offence,” Cunningham said of the Jeep.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Too many seniors are unvaccinated

I came across a perplexing and concerning statistic that speaks volumes about the difficulty in stopping COVID-19.

More than 147,000 people in B.C. over the age of 60 have yet to receive a single dose of the vaccine.

This age group makes up 27% of the general population, yet it is also the age group that experiences the worst outcomes from getting COVID-19.

More than 4,700 people over the age of 60 (most between 60 and 79) have required hospitalization after contracting the virus (57% of all hospitalizations). Nearly 1,500 of those have needed critical care in an ICU (58% of all ICU cases) and more than 1,680 (93% of all deaths) have died.

Less than 15% involved fully vaccinated people.

Rather, the virus is hitting the unvaccinated hard and older people hardest of all.

Why, then, have so many of the most vulnerable chosen not to be vaccinated?

No doubt, some simply cannot be bothered with getting the shot because they are too busy or it is too inconvenient for them.

A small number may have a medical condition that prevents vaccination and others may have other reasons, none of them particularly valid.

Still, a good chunk of responsibility likely lies with the strident, aggressive and anti-science, anti-vaccination movement.

We saw this group’s ugliness on display during their protest rallies at various locations (notably outside some hospitals) around the province last week.

These are not vaccine “hesitancy” people.These are conspiracy theorists who feed on distributing misinformation, usually via social media, to those whose ignorance of science is easily preyed upon.

There is also an air of violence and intolerance within this community.

At the rallies last week, a nurse was assaulted outside a Nanaimo hospital and frontline health-care workers were threatened outside hospitals.

In Kelowna, a woman was forced to carry her nine-year-old child on her back to gain access to a pediatric appointment as a crowd tried to block entry and demand she remove her mask.

At some rallies, an odious Trump-like chant of “lock her up” was aimed at Dr. Bonnie Henry, who has required a personal police security detail. Members of the media were also physically threatened (a protester at an anti-vax rally on the legislature front lawn also tried to spit on me).

There is little doubt the anti-vaccination movement, which has recently grown in strength in the U.S. sees this pandemic as a great opportunity to expand its menacing reach even further.

Even though anti-vaxxers are a tiny minority in this country - we will likely achieve a 90% vaccination rate later this fall - their influence on some people will undoubtedly lead to some deeply unfortunate and tragic outcomes: more hospitalizations and deaths resulting from COVID-19.

These tragedies will not be confined to those over the age of 60 who stubbornly refuse to be vaccinated, even though they will pay a disproportionately high price for getting the virus.

However, those 147,000 folks over 60 years who have yet to get their first dose are playing with a bigger fire than younger folks.

Stop listening to the anti-science crowd, folks.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Is it too hard to find EV charging stations?

“I find that what can be tricky is arriving to the charge station only to find the cords for the unit chopped off by copper thieves.”

“I charge at home mostly — only look for charging when travelling out of the Lower Mainland.”

‘Cheeky’ thief gets nailed

When a 20-year-old man accused of stealing a car and carrying house-breaking tools made an appearance in Burnaby provincial court in November, local Mounties decided to follow him back to his vehicle to see what he was driving. Sure enough, he had driven another stolen vehicle to make his court date, and he was arrested two blocks from court.The audacity had Burnaby RCMP Sgt. Barry Hickman shaking his head.

“He’s pretty cheeky,” Hickman said. “This was just like saying, ‘Hey, catch me!’”

Don’t ignore seniors

We need big changes

Editor: A digital copy of the Sept. 1 Burnaby NOW was forwarded to me by one of our members regarding the Confederation community centre changes.

The heading of “City unveils design of 127M Burnaby Heights Community Centre.” As you can appreciate, the heading and story attached to it has caused quite a stir in our community.

The reason behind the “stir” is the omission of the seniors centre.

In early dialogue with the city planners and research team, we the members of the Seniors Community Centre, we pleaded that the removal of the seniors centre building would be devastating and that we would like to have it included in the new facilities.

The picture in the Burnaby NOW omits the seniors building entirely and we hope that this is an oversight.

We have enjoyed our freedom when attending the centre and feel if we are given “space” in a new multi-use building, our freedom will be removed.

Looking forward to hearing from the city.

Pete Kauhausen, CSA president, Confederation Seniors Centre

Editor: What if Canada Post was part of the post-COVID recovery? On Jan. 18, Canada Post Corporation (CPC) announced that 2020 was a record year for parcel delivery.

With this kind of growth, a corporation like Canada Post must roll up its sleeves and review its values, its commitment and the service portfolio it offers to the population, including businesses.

To achieve this, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has launched a bold campaign called “delivering community power.”

CUPW proposes to accelerate the electrification of Canada Post’s vehicle fleet. CPC operates more than 20,000 vehicles, generating 65 kilotons of CO2 every year. The acquisition of electric vehicles would benefit the environment, stimulate the automotive sector and create decent jobs.

Now, imagine if Canada Post installed charging stations at its facilities and made them available to all, creating the largest network of charging stations in Canada.

My 56,000 brothers and sister from CUPW will not accept that Canada Post is sitting idly, refusing to change its old values and habits.

Resident says tower threatens forested land Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby resident is calling for a halt to an approved rental tower in the Metrotown area, saying the project is unethical due to the risk it poses to an area forest.

Jordan Malcolm says the project being constructed near Kathleen Avenue by Bosa Properties is dangerous amid a climate crisis because of the loss of cedar trees. He is threatening to lock himself to the trees to stop the trees from being cut down.

“Destroying a sensitive ecosystem in order to build a ‘green tower’ is hypocritical and illogical,” Malcolm told the NOW. “Displacing low-income people via demovictions in order to build a luxury tower is unethical, especially if the luxury tower was redesigned because they decided to take the affordable housing units and move them to another project.”

The development is planned for three lots in the 5900 block of Kathleen Avenue and has stirred up pushback from some area residents. A Save Kathleen Forest website was recently launched to raise awareness about the project and how it will impact the trees.

The rental tower will boast 324 units and come in at 34 storeys high, with the company promising

that 101 units would be affordable housing.

The 34-storey highrise drew opposition from Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan. In October 2020, Jordan said the building would be the “highest density FAR (floor area ratio) in our city by far” and the building had a “really awful design.”

Jordan compared the tower to another building on Broadway Avenue in Vancouver at Birch Street, which faced significant controversy and a tight approval vote by that city’s council.

That tower, she noted, was approved for a lot of similar size – a difference of just about 20 metres squared – and came with similar density – 10.55 FAR, with a total of 28 storeys.

Burnaby city staff conceded in a report that the FAR is “atypical” but said the “resultant gross floor area and tower form is comparable to other highrise buildings” in the area.

But this past March, the project was approved with a few changes.

“I was told that there will be changes to the final design,” Jordan told the NOW at the time, with some balconies added and more amenities for kids to use.

Jordan said she still couldn’t support the project due to the density involved and eventually kept her vote as no, along with

Coun. Dan Johnston.

In April of this year, the project received $100 million in federal financing from the federal government, $2.7 million of which is forgivable.

Despite the approval, Malcolm says the project is still not necessary, explaining the ecosystem that isn’t visible to the naked eye can be severely damaged.

“We are in a climate crisis; every tree in the forest counts,” Malcolm said. “As humans, we don’t see the full picture that is below our feet.”

“The forests we see are but a fraction of the actual ecosystem. Most of the ecosystem lies beneath the ground, with mycelium. Mycelium is the root structure of fungus. It is what’s responsible for setting the stage for all life on Earth. Mycelium connects the trees and the plants’ roots into a network, which allows the connected organisms to send nutrients and water back and forth. Everything is connected.

“In a forest under one footstep can be upwards of 100 to 300 miles of mycelium. Mycelium can hold up to 3,000 times its mass in carbon, effectively becoming a carbon sink. Proper land management practices during the climate crisis we are in is vital to survival.We must mitigate the issue and not contribute to the prob-

URBAN FOREST: A new rental tower constructed by Bosa Properties is being eyed for a wooded property near Kathleen Avenue. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER lem.”

Malcolm has already taken several steps to stop the development.

In late May this year, he made a delegation to the city’s environment committee, asking that the trees be protected and the property be turned it into a parklet instead.

“I am only one person doing what I can. I have spoken with the CEO of Bosa over the phone twice now about the situation.”

Malcolm has a different suggestion for the area rather than follow through with the development.

“Bosa owns a parking lot directly across the street from the impending development.They have plans to develop it

one day. I strongly recommend reconsidering the Kathleen Avenue project and providing social housing units in the proposed project where the parking lot is now and turn the forest into a community park, giving back in an ethical and responsible way.”

He says he’s thinking of starting an online petition, adding that if it “comes down to it” he is willing to protest and lock himself to the trees if he has to.

When contacted by the NOW, Bosa Properties acknowledged CEO Colin Bosa has spoken to Malcolm twice. It said those conversations led to the idea that the cedar trees removed would be given to First Nations.

“The City of Burnaby was consulted and outreach to First Nations’ communities was initiated,” a communications representative for Bosa Properties said in an emailed statement.

“Bosa is now working with a local First Nations community on removal of the cedar trees in a manner that will honour their culture.”

The statement also said the company’s goal is to develop a project that will benefit the local community on all levels.

“They will listen, engage, innovate and adapt throughout the entire process to the benefit of the community.”

Citynow Teenager charged in random attacks on women in Burnaby Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Four charges are being recommended against

a 15-year-old boy after an apparent spree of random attacks on women in the Burnaby-NewWestminster area over a one-week

period.

Burnaby RCMP put out a press release last Wednesday, saying there had been three unpro-

voked attacks against women within five days close to the Burnaby-New West border.

The first was near El-

liot Street and Clarkson Street in NewWest, where a woman was knocked to the ground on Aug. 28, according to police.

Another woman was wrestled to the ground two days later by a stranger in the area of Edmonds Street and CanadaWay at about 1:40 p.m. on Aug. 30.

On Sept. 1, a third woman was groped in the Edmonds area shortly after midnight.

Police arrested a

15-year-old boy in relation to all three incidents Wednesday at around 4 p.m. as he was leaving the Surrey Central SkyTrain station, according to Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Brett Cunningham.

He said investigators have since linked the suspect to a fourth incident in Metrotown, as well, where another woman was groped on Aug. 27.

Investigators will be recommending charges of sexual assault, police say.

Woman arrested after stand-off Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A woman is in custody after a bizarre incident involving a shortterm rental suite, airsoft pistols and tactical officers swarming a Burnaby culde-sac.

Police launched a weapons investigation on Aug. 30 after a man reported he had been threatened with a gun at a suite he had rented on Chaucer Place in Burnaby, according to RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Brett Cunningham.

He said the man told police he had paid a $300 deposit to rent a suite he had found online.

“He had not viewed the suite in person,” Cunningham said. “When the man showed up to the home, someone allegedly pointed a gun at him and told him to leave the property.”

Two days later, police executed a search warrant with help from the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team.

Three airsoft pistols were located inside the unit the man said he had rented, and a woman was taken into custody.

“Police are continuing to investigate the offences of allegedly pointing a firearm and uttering threats,” Cunningham

said.

Katherine Machel, who lives in the neighbourhood, said the house, at 6401 Chaucer Place, has been used for short-term rentals for at least three years – and neighbours are “not too happy” about how it has impacted the neighbourhood.

One short-term tenant told her the owner had partitioned the inside of the house to create extra units to rent out, Machel said.

“There are so many comings and goings,” she told the NOW. “They are there for such a short time; they don’t take care of the place, so the garbage would be all over the place in the front.”

The short-term rentals have also resulted in parking problems in the cul-de-sac, according to Machel.

UntilWednesday, however, she hadn’t had to deal with police issues related to the house, she said.

At about 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, she said she left her house to walk to the library and was surprised by a tactical officer decked out in body armour and carrying an assault rifle.

He waved her back into her house as armed officers swarmed the cul-desac with “guns drawn,” she said.

Citynow Paralympian just misses medals Burnaby athlete part of fourth-place-finishing volleyball team Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s FeliciaVossShafiq and the national women’s sitting volleyball team earned Canada’s best-ever result in sitting volleyball at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo.

Team Canada kicked off the tournament against third-ranked Brazil.

The fifth-ranked Cana-

dians won their first set 2521 but lost the next two 26-24 and 25-20. Canada came back in the fourth, winning 29-27, but lost the final set 17-15.

“It was a tough loss,” Voss-Shafiq told the NOW. “We can definitely do better, but we’re proud of being able to battle it out with Brazil and push them to a fifth set, which we haven’t been able to do

before.”

Canada’s goal going into the tournament was to earn a spot in a medal game, she said.

The team rallied after their loss against Brazil and beat Italy in four sets (2516, 25-14, 15-25, 25-18) and Japan in three (25-19, 25-15, 25-20) to make it into the semifinals against China.

They fell to China in

straight sets (25-18, 25-20, 25-15) Friday, setting up a rematch against Brazil in the bronze-medal match on Saturday.

Team Canada won the second set but would ultimately end up losing their final match in four.

The fourth-place finish was the best-ever result for Canada in sitting volleyball, after a seventh-place finish in Rio in 2016.

So close: Felicia Voss-Shafiq of Burnaby was part of the Canadian Paralympic sitting volleyball team that placed fourth in Tokyo.

Back to School

Teachers’ union calls for stronger safety measures Expanded mask mandate, ventilation upgrades and data transparency are among the key requests Wayne Moore Glacier Media

The president of the BC Teachers’ Federation says the province needs to do more to ensure classrooms are safe.

Teri Mooring made the statement during a press conference on the eve of the start of a new school year.

“Teachers are excited about starting a new school year as they always are,” said Mooring.

“There is a cloud hanging over this year of course.We had hoped there would be more of a focus on preventative measures in schools this year, more protective measures would be in place.”

Instead, she says the

BCTF is fighting for the health and safety measures it believes should be in place.

Mooring says protections being put in place at schools across the province are less than they were a year ago.

There is a cloud hanging over this year

“No cohorts, no social distancing, no daytime custodians, no exposure notifications, no limits to school visitors.”

Mooring says the BCTF is calling on the

government to institute a number of safety and preventative measures she says are being used in other jurisdictions, and are backed up by ample evidence and research. Ð Expand the mask mandate to include students from kindergarten to Grade 3. Ð Ensure school-based vaccination clinics are available to all 12- to 17-year-olds. Ð Quickly complete school ventilation system upgrades and publicly report those upgrades. Ð Ensure a comprehensive testing strategy is in place, including asymptomatic testing across the school system. Ð Ensure public data regarding the status of

COVID-19 in schools is available.

Mooring says, unlike last year, exposure notifications will not be sent to entire school commu-

nities, nor will they be posted on websites.

“What is very important is that public reporting of data actually reduces people’s concerns,”

White Swan

she said.

Mooring says she believes the measures proposed by the BCTF will make schools safer for families and workers.

Citynow Metropolis at Metrotown getting new management Burnaby’s biggest shopping mall will be under new management this fall.

Metropolis at Metrotown is owned and managed by Ivanhoé Cambridge, but the company announced a new partnership to manage mall operations.

On Oct. 1, Ivanhoé Cambridge will transition the operations of its Canadian shopping centres over to JLL, the largest third-party retail property management company in North America, according to a news release.

“The vast majority of Ivanhoé Cambridge’s property team of retail employees are expected to join JLL Canada,” said the news release, but it’s unclear if there will be any layoffs.

JLL’s management team will be headquartered in Montreal. JLL also plans to open an office in Québec City in the coming months.

“We are excited to bring a globally renowned company to deepen its footprint and investments in Quebec.To focus on our core business as a seasoned, clear-sighted real estate investor and to align and standardize our business model globally, we wanted to find a partner with the scale, track record and expertise to continue the optimization of our assets’ performance and lead the industry in defining the future of the retail sector, thus creating longterm value for our depositors,” said Nathalie Palladitcheff, president and CEO, Ivanhoé Cambridge, in a statement. “JLL’s global reputation and likeminded culture will continue to support us, while creating career opportunities for our retail teams joining the JLL family.”

Ivanhoé Cambridge and JLL will work together towards the goal of achieving net zero carbon by 2040, said the statement.

“Retail has been going through a transition period over the last decade plus, where the focus has become on creating sustainable and dynamic experiential settings that engage and excite the communities it serves – and the pandemic has acted as a major accelerant on those trends,” said Greg Maloney, CEO, JLL Americas Retail. “Retail is our division’s sole focus and we are thrilled to expand our expertise and footprint in Canada, and Quebec, establishing JLL as the largest third-party retail manager in Canada as well.”

JLL will also collaborate with Ivanhoé Cambridge to develop a Centre of Excellence for Sustainability (COES) in Quebec, and an accompanying team, to “accelerate the transition to sustainable and inclusive real estate through the development and implementation of current and near-future technologies.”

A new City of Burnaby staff report outlines plans for an ambitious threelevel new community centre at Confederation Park.

Costing an estimated $127 million, the project will add much-needed community space and link the existing facilities together in an arc-shaped design.

“The development of a new community centre within Confederation Park has been identified as a priority community amenity project,” reads a staff report. “The proposed community centre at Confederation Park will supplement the existing civic facilities located in Confederation Park, and help meet the current and projected future de-

mand for community services in the city’s northwest quadrant.”

Confederation Park has three large community amenity buildings – McGill library branch (built in 2001), Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre (built in 1992), and the Confederation Community Centre for Seniors (constructed in 1971 and expanded in 1988).

The design shows new buildings that link to the pool facility and library, with an open promenade – with a “borrowed forest landscape” – that bisects the buildings and leads to the rest of the 105-acre park.

The third level features a walkway that connects

two sets of buildings.

The project will see an expanded fitness facility that includes weight and cardio areas.

There will also be a café with an outdoor patio seating area.

The centre will also feature more multipurpose and meetings rooms, plus a community kitchen.

There will also be a gymnasium area for indoor sports activities.

The report says the existing complex is no longer adequate to serve the growing community of the northwest quadrant of Burnaby.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Community now NDP, Liberal candidates trade shots on pipeline

Jane Seyd

Glacier Media

The thorny and divisive issue of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion raised its head this week during a virtual meeting of candidates for Burnaby North-Seymour, the riding where the terminus for the controversial pipeline project sits.

NDP candidate Jim Hanson said during an online all-candidates forum Sept. 1 that his party will cancel the pipeline project – although federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has not formally committed to that.

Liberal incumbent Terry Beech immediately stepped in to challenge Hanson’s statement, saying it isn’t true.

The pipeline topic came up as candidates in an online forum hosted by the NorthVancouver Chamber responded to a question on climate change from moderator Patrick Stafford-Smith, CEO of the chamber.

“TheTrudeau record on climate change is appalling,” said Hanson. “Emissions rise and rise, and in the face of a pledge to address climate change, he buys a pipeline that costs billions of dollars, which spews bitumen right into our riding of Burnaby North-Seymour.”

“Burnaby North-Seymour is Ground Zero for Trudeau hypocrisy and failure to follow through

with his record, and promises on anything, but most especially on climate change,” said Hanson.

Hanson says he hears about the issue of climate change on the doorstep.

“We will take this issue extremely seriously, and we will cancel the TMX pipeline, stop it in its tracks,” he said.

Beech, meanwhile, defended the Liberal record, saying his government has “done more to cut pollution in a practical and affordable way than any other government in Canadian history.”

The issue of the Trans Mountain pipeline has loomed over the riding ever since the Liberal government first approved, then bought the pipeline expansion, which will deliver oil from the Alberta oil sands to tankers in Burrard Inlet.

Those decisions sparked protests, arrests and lawsuits, including several by local Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations, which have vigorously opposed the project.

The issue was a key one in the 2019 federal election in the riding, with many predicting it could spell the end for Liberals in the riding.

Beech, however, hung on to his seat with 17,404 votes (35.5%), while NDP came second with 15,844 votes (32.3%).

More recently, Singh, the NDP leader, chosen his words carefully on the

topic, telling several media outlets that he’s been opposed to the project from the beginning.

Singh has stopped short, however, of saying he’ll cancel the project, instead stating he would have to assess the situation before making any decision.

Kathryn Harrison, a professor of political science at the University of British Columbia, said that for some in the riding the pipeline project is “a very big issue.”

But in contrast to that, “It’s striking to me that (Liberal) Terry Beech was re-elected in that riding,” she said, adding in the last election “a majority of voters in that riding voted for parties that were supportive of the pipeline.”

While the NDP has been clear in the past that they are opposed to the pipeline, Singh “hasn’t said he’ll cancel it,” she said. “He’s been pressed on that. He’s been given opportunity to say that.

And he hasn’t said that.”

Harrison said in some ways it’s understandable as

only when a party forms government would they be privy to long-term contracts that may have been signed and what the financial consequences would be of cancelling the project.

Also politically, “governments tend to stay the course on big projects that are already underway where a lot of taxpayers’ money has already been spent” she said – pointing to the provincial NDP’s decision to continue building the Site C dam as an example. Otherwise “they can be criticized for just throwing away all those taxpayer dollars.”

Harrison said in terms of other parties, the Conservatives are “all in” on the Canadian oil industry and oil exports, promising to revise the environmental assessment laws and even create a new offence in the Criminal Code for protesters who block “critical infrastructure.” Recently on the campaign trail, Conservative leader Erin O’Toole spoke of resuscitating the cancelled

Northern Gateway pipeline project, Harrison noted.The party is “waving a flag for the oil industry,” she said.

The Greens, as a small party, have a natural disadvantage going into the

race, she said. But, in addition, “the party is deeply divided” and hasn’t announced a detailed platform.

“It’s a real contrast to 2019,” she said.
