Chapleau Moments

NOTE:Thefollowingarticleisareprint

A year ago, when I accepted Mario LaFreniere'sinvitationtowriteacolumnforthe ChapleauExpress,IwonderedifIwouldbeable to produce enough material for a month's worth ofChapleauMoments.

Since starting Chapleau Moments a year ago this week, I have often reminded myself of thewordsthatDr.J.B.McClintonsharedwithme in a Timmins restaurant shortly after my arrival there to begin my career as a daily newspaper reporter with The Daily Press in 1964. I was having coffee with Dr. McClinton, a great promoterofNorthernOntarioandHighway101 connectionbetweenChapleauandTimmins,and hesaid,"So,youwanttobeareporter.

"Look around you. There are stories everywhere. If you never left this restaurant for the rest of your life, you would never be able to writeallthestoriesthathappenedinthisplace."

Well,"letmetellyou”Asmygoodfriend Dr.G.E.Youngwouldsaywhenhestartedastory, if I continued to write for another 46 years, I wouldneverbeabletoshareallthestoriesabout the people and moments that are part of Chapleau'shistory.

LetmefirstthankMarioforprovidingme with the opportunity to share some Chapleau momentswithyou--thestoriesoftheincredible peoplewhohavecalledChapleauhome--those who still live there, those who now live somewhere else, and those who are no longer with us but left their mark on the life of the communitysince1885,andbefore.

Let me thank all those who have contacted me during the past year with comments, story ideas and their recollections of thelifeandtimesofChapleau.Maybethat'sbeen thebestpartoftheexperience,reconnectingwith so many of you over the past year and bringing backsuchwonderfulmemoriesofhome.

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa

by/par Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

At the end of July, the Prime Minister made some significant changes to his cabinet. Whilecabinetshufflesareafairlynormalpartof governing, this particular shuffle has felt a little different.It'sclearthatthereareseveralbigfiles important to Canadians that need to be focused on,suchasthecostoffoodandhousing,climate change and the transition to a clean energy economy,aswellasthechallengesinhealthcare. It's obvious that these issues have not received the attention they have needed or deserved recently, and if this cabinet shuffle signals anything, it's that the Prime Minister is finally realizing that his government must reset its agendaandaddressthesekeyconcernswithreal actionorrisktheelectoralconsequences.

What's often interesting in Cabinet shuffles are not the new faces being given Ministerial responsibility, but those who've lost it. Seven former Ministers are no longer in Cabinet, including Omar Alghabra, Joyce Murray,HelenaJaczek,CarolynBennett,Marco Mendicino, David Lametti, and Mona Fortier. While Murray, Jaczek, Bennett, and Alghabra have announced they will not be running for reelection, Fortier, the former President of the TreasuryBoard,Lametti,theformerMinisterof JusticeandAttorneyGeneral,andMendicino,the former Public Safety Minister, have been releasedfromCabinetwithoutnewportfolios.

While clearly these are difficult portfolios, there have been some problems in each that needed to be addressed sooner, or just handled better. Bail reform has been a big issue on the justice file, and proposed reforms have beenslowtomaterialize.

Fortier, as Treasury Board Minister, was responsible for negotiating on behalf of the government with public servants a few months back, which resulted in the largest public union strikeinCanadianhistory.

However, the most obvious change to cabinetwasinPublicSafety,whereseverallarge, importantfileswereclearlymishandledthisyear by former Minister Mendicino: from the inexplicable last-minute amendments to the government's handgun bill, C-21, that were eventually repealed and justifiably frustrated hunters, farmers, and sport shooters; the mishandling of foreign interference allegations; and more recently, the refusal to negotiate fair contracts with First Nations Police Services.

CabinetShuffleMustMeanChangingPriorities,NotJustChangingFaces

Thesewereimportantmattersthatrequiredadeft hand to navigate, and instead were fraught with ongoing controversies. This file is now being handled by Minister Dominic Leblanc, who has served in the House of Commons for over two decades, seemingly signaling the importance of thefile,andtheneedforasteadyhandtorightthe ship.

On a similar token, it does feel that the government is putting their experienced MPs in frontofthosefilesthatclearlyneedthemostcare. MarkHolland,whohaspreviouslyservedasthe GovernmentHouseLeader,hasnowbeenplaced in charge of Health. Sean Fraser, generally seen asarisingstarintheHouseofCommons,isnow the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. Pablo Rodriguez, who has previously acted as Government Whip, House Leader, and Minister of Canadian Heritage, has taken over for Transport, which has been a contentiousfileinthepastfewyears,particularly

withregardstoairlinetravelcomingofftheback ofthepandemic.

There remains only eight Ministers who haveretainedtheirportfolios,includingFinance Minister Chrystia Freeland, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, and Indigenous ServicesMinisterPattyHajdu.

It's evident that the Prime Minister realizedthathisgovernmentneededamajorreset onanumberofkeyfiles.Wearestillinthemidst of the worst forest fire season on record. While inflationhasleveledoutonmostconsumeritems, two of the most important, food and housing, remainwildlyhigh.Healthcarecontinuestobea challenge across the country, with consistent surgery backlogs and shuttering emergency roomsbecomingalltoonormal.Thegovernment needs to give these issues the attention they deserve,howeveritremainstobeseenifthenew structureofCabinetwillhelpcorrectcourseand pushthesematterstothefrontofthetable.

À la fin de juillet, le premier ministre a apporté des changements considérables à son Cabinet.Bienqu'unremaniementministérielsoit unévénementplutôtnormaldansl'exercicedela gouvernance, le plus récent n'est pas tout à fait comme les autres. Nul doute que plusieurs dossiers cruciaux pour les Canadiens doivent revenir au haut de la liste des priorités, notammentlecoûtdesalimentsetdulogement,la crise climatique et la transition vers une économieaxéesurl'énergiepropre,sansoublier les défis en matière de soins de santé. De toute évidence, ces enjeux n'ont récemment pas reçu toute l'attention qu'ils méritent ou qui est justifiée. Or, s'il y a une leçon à tirer du récent remaniement ministériel, c'est que le premier ministreaprisconsciencequesongouvernement doit remettre de l'ordre dans son programme et s'attaqueràcesenjeuxclésaumoyendemesures concrètes, sinon il pourrait en subir les conséquencesauxprochainesélections.

Ce qui est le plus intéressant dans un remaniement ministériel, ce n'est pas de découvrir les nouveaux visages associés aux responsabilités ministérielles, mais de constater ceux que l'on ne verra plus. Cette fois-ci, sept anciens ministres ont été exclus du Cabinet, à savoir Omar Alghabra, Joyce Murray, Helena Jaczek, Carolyn Bennett, Marco Mendicino, David Lametti et Mona Fortier. Même si Mmes Murray,JaczeketBennettainsiqueM.Alghabra ont annoncé qu'ils ne se présenteront pas aux prochaines élections, d'autres ont complètement perdu toute responsabilité ministérielle comme

MmeFortier,l'ancienneprésidenteduConseildu Trésor,M.Lametti,l'ancienministredelaJustice et procureur général du Canada, et M. Mendicino, l'ancien ministre de la Sécurité publique.

Outrelefaitquecesportefeuillessonttrès complexes, chacun d'eux était touché par un certainnombredeproblèmesquiauraientdûêtre réglés plus tôt, ou à tout le moins être mieux gérés.Au ministère de la Justice, la réforme des misesenlibertésouscautionestunenjeumajeur et les modifications proposées tardent à être mises en œuvre. Du côté du Conseil du Trésor, Mme Fortier était responsable de négocier avec les représentants des fonctionnaires au nom du gouvernement, mais cela a mené il y a quelques mois à la grève la plus répandue au sein de la fonctionpubliquedetoutel'histoireduCanada. Cependant, le changement le plus remarquableauCabinettoucheleministèredela Sécurité publique, car plusieurs grands dossiers chauds ont été incontestablement mal gérés par l'ancien ministre Mendicino. Cela comprend les modifications inexplicables de dernière minute au projet de loi C-21 du gouvernement sur les armes de poing qui, au final, ont été abrogées, soulevant sans surprise la frustration des chasseurs,desagriculteursetdestireurssportifs; la mauvaise gestion des allégations d'ingérence étrangère; et, plus récemment, le refus de négocier des contrats de travail équitables avec lescorpspoliciersdesPremièresNations.Cesont toutesdesquestionsprimordialesqui SuiteP.8

Checkairqualityandprotectyourself fromtheeffectsofwildfiresmoke

Air quality across Ontario, including within the Public Health Sudbury & Districts service area, continues to be adversely affected by smoke plumes fromlocalforestfires(wildfires),aswellaswildfires outsideofourarea.

As the wildfires are expected to continue for the foreseeable future, Public Health Sudbury & Districts would like to remind residents of the health effectsofwildfiresmokeandhowtoprotectyourself.

Smoke from wildfires is a mixture of gases and fine particles from burning trees and plant materials. The smoke releases many contaminants into the air, such as fine particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds.

Milder symptoms of smoke exposure include mild cough, headache, and eye, nose, and throat irritation.Thesesymptomscantypicallybemanaged withoutmedicalintervention.Moreserioussymptoms include dizziness, chest pains, irregular heartbeat, severe cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and asthmaattacks.

Toreduceyourriskofexperiencingsymptoms:

· Avoid outdoor physical exertion. Stop,

· Keep airways moist by drinking plenty of water.

· Breathe through a warm, moist washcloth to helprelievedryness.

· Visit places with cleaner, filtered air, such as librariesorshoppingmalls.

· If the temperature is comfortable, keep windows closed indoors and in vehicles. Use the recirculation setting on air conditioners and HVAC systems to prevent smoke from entering. Once the outdoorairhasimproved,adjustthesettingtobringin freshair.

· Follow your health care provider's advice aboutmanagingyourcondition.

· People who have asthma should follow their asthmamanagementplan.

Mosthealthyadultsandchildrenwillrecover quickly from smoke exposures and will not suffer long-term consequences.
