3rd Annual Haiti Project Day
O
n S a t u r d a y, June 15th the Chapleau Pentecostal Church held its 3rd Annual Haiti Project Day. To date a total of $4,200.00 has been raised for the Haiti Ministries and $2,900.00 of the funds
raised were from the yard sale, car wash and BBQ that were held on Saturday, June 15th. The Chapleau Pentecostal Church would like to thank the individuals, local businesses and charitable groups who helped
out to make this day such a success and especially the citizens of Chapleau who have been very supportive of the Haitian people. All monies raised will be delivered in person to Michel and Louise Charbonneau who are
the founders of Haiti Ministries this November 2013 when the Chapleau contingency departs for Haiti. The final Haiti Project event will be the Haitian Supper Auction which will be held on
Saturday, October 26, 2013 at the Chapleau Pentecostal Church. For more information on the Haitian Supper Auction or purchasing tickets, please contact Pastor Dan Lee at (705) 864-

Solidarity shown in demands for a national inquiry in missing women

president of the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC), along with other Native representatives, called on the all Premiers and leaders to support their call for a National Inquiry into the missing and murdered Aborigin a l Wo m e n a c r o s s Canada. Last fall, the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses (OAITH) marched in solidarity with our Aboriginal sisters to Parliament Hill demanding, once again, that the Federal Government establish a
National Inquiry into 582 documented cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women. At that time, our demands were supported by several opposition parties but ignored by the Harper government. "Aboriginal women and girls continue to fall victim to the most extreme forms of violence – leading to their going missing or being found murdered. We need real action. Now is the time for the Harper government to join the rest of Canada and support a national public inquiry into this
issue," states Audette. Violence against women happens in all cultures and religions, in all ethnic and racial communities, at every age, and in every income group. But Aboriginal women (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) are eight times more likely to be killed by their intimate partner than non-Aboriginal women. Shelters and other violence against women services were pleased to see Premier K a t h l e e n Wy n n e (current Chair of the Council of Federation) announce resounding
support for the National Inquiry. We remain hopeful that the Federal Government will recognize the important leadership of Aboriginal groups and act immediately to establish the National Inquiry and restore adequate funding to NWAC and other agencies working to end violence against women in Canada. To date, the federal governments' response to the tragedy of the missing and murdered Aboriginal women has been abysmal. In 2011, the United Nations Committee on the
Elimination of Discrimination against Women recognized the seriousness of this issue and launched their own inquiry. This committee—the UN'S main authority on women's human rights—cites the Canadian Federal Government's continuing failure to take e ff e c t i v e a c t i o n i n connection with the murders and disappearances. We demand that the Canadian government call for a National Inquiry into the missing and murdered Aboriginal women of Canada.

If Canadians Vote to Abolish the Senate, Politicians Must Listen by Gregory Thomas, Federal Director This commentary was first published in the Monday, July 29th edition of the Toronto Star. We’ve nearly been trampled in recent days by a veritable herd of Canadian academics, falling over one another to remind us that the Canadian Senate cannot be abolished. After all, they tell us, the Senate’s existence is guaranteed by the Constitution, only Parliament and the provincial legislatures can amend the Constitution and Parliament includes 102 senators who would never vote themselves out of a job. To make matters worse, five of the ten provinces are so vastly overrepresented in the Senate, they would never, in a million years, agree to get rid of it. This learned analysis, while technically correct, fails to adequately weigh one singular truth: Canada is a democracy. If Canadians vote in a national referendum to abolish the Senate, the academics will be proven wrong. We now live in the 21st century, as opposed to the U.S. civil-war era, when the Senate was created.
It was the U.S. civil war, to that point, that heavily influenced the Fathers of Confederation, most notably Sir. John A. Macdonald. “(Macdonald) shared a widely held belief that the Civil War was, in some sense, the inevitable bloody outcome of mob rule and presidential despotism,” wrote his biographer Donald Creighton. “Macdonald's resistance to democracy was comprehensive,” echoes Richard Gwyn in his more recent study of Canada’s constitutional architect. “He advocated ‘some division of the classes,’ justifying limiting the vote to property owners by the argument that political decisions should be influenced by the views of those with some education and some stake in the system itself rather than by ‘the unreasoning masses.’” Macdonald made it clear on more than one occasion that his distaste for American-style democracy knew no bounds. He insisted that a prospective senator must own real estate to qualify for membership – a qualification that exists, inexplicably, to this day. And Macdonald insisted on substan-
tial real estate holdings – $4,000 – the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of today’s dollars: “a large qualification should be necessary for membership in the Upper House, in order to represent the principle of property,” he said in 1865. “The rights of the minority must be protected, and the rich are always fewer in number than the poor.” Historian John Boyko’s new book, Blood and Daring, gives a flavour of Canada in the 1860’s, when the Senate was created. Boyko reminds us that while 33 Canadian newspapers supported Lincoln and the Union in the conflict, 84 sided with the slave-owning Confederacy. After one Confederate victory in 1862, townsfolk in New Brunswick celebrated by holding parades. Time has marched on. Slavery is dead, its death purchased with the lives of half a million Americans. Canadian attitudes toward slavery have changed as well. Yet, we still sit passively and watch, while a law passed by a majority in the House of Commons, is denied passage by the Canadian Senate, an unelected assembly of landowners. The
Senate vote, constitutionally permissible in the eyes of the Senate’s civil-war era creators, has been correctly characterized as “an abomination.” It’s instructive that the architect of the recent abomination, Conservative Senator Hugh Segal, supports a national referendum on abolishing the Senate. So did Jack Layton, who called the Senate “outdated and obsolete, a 19th-century institution that has no place in a modern democracy in the 21st century.” Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, no old drinking buddy of Jack Layton, would just as soon skip the referendum and proceed directly to Senate abolition, reflecting the views of 86 per cent of his party members. Tom Mulcair, inheritor of the Layton legacy, is actively campaigning for Senate abolition. Even Ted Morton, once an Alberta elected Senator-in-waiting, is getting ready to throw in the towel on the Senate (as a possible first step towards reform) – after nearly 30 years dedicated to the cause of reforming the wretched bordello of back-scratching. The Senate is a disgrace to Canada. The Senate doesn’t make our nation better, it makes it worse. And unelected assembly of landowners has no legitimate right to rule over the rest of us, no matter what the Constitution says. The Senate is a constitutional institution, to be sure. But then, so was slavery in the U.S. and the slave trade, in Britain, in the 19th century. If Canadians, in a national referendum, direct our politicians to get rid of the Senate, then politicians would be well advised to listen to the voters.

Letters to the Editor Ye s t e r d a y, I tripped on, of all things, a tough flower stem, across my side door walkway. For a while, I thought I was going to stay airborne but comes the truth, birds fly, we don't! The gravel on my roadway is kind of a rude awakening to my face along with trying to break my fall with my hands and don't forget the ribs, though it felt like trampoline time of pushing them to my back to act as wings.
Then again it might look like I was counting bugs on the ground. No, no it was only an old timer who was laying there with blood dripping down his face trying to attract someone. Maybe a flag would have helped. My knees have been replaced and only bend one way. So “please” find the time to pick me up next time. I sure would appreciate the help! Harry Ketterer

Six Chapleau adventurers make trip to Moose Factory mostly by canoe in 1932
Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris Six adventurers made a canoe trip from Chapleau to Moose Factory in July 1932 recording their progress in writing as they travelled. Their chronological account was kindly made available to me by Dorothy Tu r n e r, a n d I a m delighted to share parts of it as the Chapleau Cree First Nation hold their annual Traditional
Gathering and PowWow on August 17 and 18. The young men were Donald White, Oliver 'Doc' Potts, Howard Cachagee, M i k e Tu r n e r, F r e d McAuley and Vince Crichton. In 1968, Vince typed out an account of the trip from the notes and sent it to Mike Turner, Dorothy's uncle, with the follow-

ing comment written on the top of the first page: "Mike. I hope I have recorded this properly. Vince". They left Chapleau on July 1, 1932, by train for Missanabie with two canoes and all their equipment. "We arrived at Missanabie about 8;30 p.m. and immediately started on the first lap of our canoe journ e y. We c a m p e d a couple of miles north of the railroad track... After a late supper we sat around the camp fire, telling stories, as the fuel turned into dying, glowing embers. The night was clear and cold and after making our canoes and provisions safe from marauding animals we turned in with high expectations of the morrow." "Shortly after sun up the next morning we were having breakfast of bacon and eggs. The aroma of the repast with the boiling coffee whetted our desire for the adventure and it was not long before we were on our way. Loading up our big freight canoes with equipment and three men to a canoe, we were content to let a small three horsepower engine do most of the work for the first day. "The night had been cold and frosty. The surface of the lake was like a sheet of glass and covered with millions of mosquitoes, presumably killed by the frost of the previous night. After a seven mile run up Dog Lake, they portaged to Crooked Lake a distance of about 150 yards. "All along Crooked Lake we saw
C
moose and bear and in almost every bay either a live of dead beaver house." At the end of the lake they made another portage over the height of land to Missinaibi Lake. This height of land separates the waters flowing into Lake superior from those flowing into James and Hudson Bay. Upon reaching Baltic Bay they took a route to the northeast arm arriving at a long peninsula varying in width to three miles. "It terminates abruptly in a granite cliff, towering in places to well over two hundred feet. This is known as Fairy Point. Many years ago, the Cree and Ojibway banded together for self protection from bands of Iroquois and drove an armed band over the cliffs to complete destruction. Looking closely at the cliffs one can discern Indian pictographs of centuries ago which only time can eliminate." They arrived at Brunswick House to explore the remains of the once thriving Hudson Bay Company Post. They note that most of the buildings were in ruins but some still some were standing, the remains of an old boat were on the shore and along the beach and in the ruins were old rifles and flintlocks with the stocks nearly eroded completely away. They also visited a cemetery to which pilgrimages were still made "every few years to keep the hallowed spot of their loved ones clean and in
Donald White, Mike Turner, Doc Potts All photos courtesy of Dorothy Turner good order." By the end of the first day, they had run rapids and travelled about 60 miles making camp at Peterbell on the Canadian National Railway. They enjoyed a "well earned supper of fish, bannock, jam and tea" and then "crawled into their eiderdowns and with the sky for a roof, slept as only those on the trail can sleep, seldom being troubled by the mosquitoes and black flies. The next day after shooting rapids calling one a "thrilling experience" Donald White remarked, "It gives you a tingling feeling, shooting rapids like these." (Perhaps someone can ask

Donald if he recalls the remark). The adventurers reached the Hudson Bay Post at Mattice on the CNR and decided to spend the day there washing their clothes and darning socks. After supper, the Indian Chief, who they do not name, came down to their tents and invited them to a dance being held at his home that evening. The cost for all six was 25 cents. When the chief was asked what it was for, he replied "to buy coal oil for the lamps". They found themselves at the chief's home "Listening to music from two violins and a moose hide drum.

To top off the evening's entertainment, Fred (McAuley) who is a violin player of no mean ability gave the folks a lesson in step dancing which was received with loud cheers and hand clapping." T h e o n l y mishap of the trip appears to have been while shooting the rapid below the Black Feather where a canoe hit a submerged rock, but they made shore all
right and got it fixed. But, while they were m a k i n g d i n n e r, i n opening a packsack they discovered that a top had blown off a can of jam. "What a mess. Howard and Fred cooked dinner while the rest washed every article and including the packsack and repaired the canoe." As they neared the end of their trip, here is part of one of the vivid descriptions provided. "We shot Frenchman's rapid and then portaged Frenchman's gorge. It is a very
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A longtime situation starts to move into a new phase. The question for the uncertain Lamb right now is whether to move with it. Facts emerge by midmonth to help you decide. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A talent for organizing your priorities allows the Divine Bovine to enjoy a busy social life and not miss a beat in meeting all workplace and/or family commitments. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) What began as a dubious undertaking has now become one of your favorite projects. Your enthusiasm for it rallies support from other doubters-turned-believers. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Accept the help of friends to get you through an unexpectedly difficult situation. There'll be time enough later to investigate how all this could have happened so fast. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Change is a major factor for the Big Cat through midmonth. Be prepared to deal with it on a number of levels, including travel plans and workplace situations. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might not like all the changes that have begun to take place around you. But try to find something positive in at least some of them that you can put to good use. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A family member's unsettling experience could create more problems if it's not handled with care and love. And who's the best one to offer all that? You, of course. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It might not be the right time for you to start a new venture. But it's a good time to start gathering facts and figures so you'll be set when the GO! sign lights up. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The sagacious Sagittarius should have no trouble deciding between those who can and those who cannot be trusted to carry out a workplace commitment. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Surprise, surprise. It looks as if that one person you once thought you could never hope to win over to your side suddenly just might choose to join you. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might have to set aside your pride for now and accept a change that isn't to your advantage. Cheer up. There'll be time later to turn this around in your favor. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your creative self emerges as dominant through midmonth.

beautiful place. The gorge is cut out of red granite and the square cut rock is topped with black spruce. "What a place to stop and ponder over the beauties of nature that the north is so profusely endowed with." On the final day they travelled the broad expanse of the Moose River, past the mouth of the Abitibi and Kwataboahegan rivers and reached Moose Factory about four in the afternoon. They had made the trip in six days, apparently a record time which was still stood in 1968 -they note only two other parties had made the
trip and it took them about two weeks. For the next two weeks they stayed in Moose Factory visiting a n d r e l a x i n g . " We loafed and rested." Some of the adventurers were recruited to play ball for the Moose Factory team. They returned to Chapleau via the moose, up the Mattagami, and then
into the Kapuskasing River to the town of Kapuskasing. From there they continued to Elsas on the CNR to the northeastern corner of the Chapleau Game Preserve, into the Nemegosenda River to Trout Lake and into Twin, Round, West, LeBlanc, Emerald and Loon (Borden) lakes. A portage of a mile took them into the Chapleau
River and home. It took them 12 days and was a much harder journey. Over the years, notes were lost of the return trip. My sincere thanks to Dorothy Turner for sending me the account of the trip. I have provided some highlights but the complete story is fascinating. My email is mj.morris@live.ca

Time to regulate credit card companies
REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa by/par Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
When the Competition Tribunal dismissed a complaint from major Canadian retailers against credit card processing fees recently it wasn’t as surprising as it was disappointing. For consumers and small business it means business as usual which includes hefty interest rates and
transaction charges. The Competition Bureau stated that it is up to the government to take action to better protect consumers and small businesses. That likely means there won’t be any action since the Conservatives have refused to take strong regulatory action in the past.

It is disturbing that the Tribunal found evidence of anticompetitive behaviour in the marketplace but still dismissed the complaint. Anticompetitive behaviour rigs the deck to ensure maximum profit for credit card companies but that comes with a significant price tag. It hurts our economy and distorts business decisions, especially for small businesses that offer this convenient service to attract customers. Ultimately, the current arrangement leads to higher prices for consumers and smaller profit margins for businesses. Whether a transaction is made with a credit card or not, the price will include an adjustment to compensate for the fact that Canadian businesses face the highest merchant fees of all major economies. When first elected the Conservatives promised tough regulations for credit
card companies. Instead of creating an environment that forced these companies to actually compete in the spirit of a free market economy, they have created a voluntary code of conduct with predictable and disappointing results. N e w D e m ocrats have consistently advocated changes to merchant fee regulations for credit card companies. The evidence of price fixing should be enough to force the government to take action. It is an opportunity to take a stand that would in no way cripple these
lenders but make a difference for businesses and consumers. In Northern Ontario small businesses face more challenges than those in larger urban centres. Many operate on tight budgets and would benefit from a reduction in the cost of handling credit card transactions. These businesses create wealth and jobs in our communities unlike credit card companies
who act as siphons that move money out – which is one thing if it is being done in a fair and competitive manner and quite another when it isn’t. This should be a simple problem to address. What is required is a government that has the fortitude to enforce regulations on an industry that shows no desire to change a thing – except for raising their fees and rates.
