Chapleau Moments

by MichaelJ. Morris

Whenever the violence in hockey issue reaches a fever pitch as it has again recently with commentsfromMarioLemieux,astarofthegame and now owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins, I go backtoFebruary22,1976,aSundayafternoonat the McIntyre Arena in Timmins, where the Chapleau Intermediate 'A" Huskies were playing the Timmins North Stars in the Northland IntermediateHockeyLeaguesemi-finals.

The Huskies were in their first NIHL season, had squeaked into the fourth and last playoffpositionbutwereaheadoftheNorthStars, thefirstplacefinishersthreegamestoone.

For those readers who will not remember those days, I was the coach and manager of the HuskiesaswellasservingasreeveofChapleau.

At the opening faceoff I noticed that the North Stars were starting the game with five defencemenontheicewhichforamomentseemed strange to me, I started with the line of Pat Swanson,DavidMcMillanandJamieDoylewho were leading the series in accumulated points.At the first stoppage of play I changed lines putting out George Swanson, Jean Claude Cyr and RaymondLarcher.

Then it began. George headed into the North Stars defensive zone where he received injuriesthatresultedinhimleavingthegameand being taken to hospital for treatment of a broken shoulder.

Within five minutes Dave McMillan took ahighsticktotheface,felltotheice,wasbleeding and was taken to the dressing room. No penalty was called and he did not return to play in that game.

Itdidn'ttakemelongtofigureoutthatthe North Stars game plan was to intimidate us, although in a report on the game in the Timmins Daily Press, it was described as "aggressive tactics."

The Huskies lost the game 9-6 which resultedinaDailyPressheadline"StarsHammer Chapleau..."theunderstatementofalltimes.

I went to St. Mary's Hospital after the

I talked with Bill Moffat, the manager of the North Stars and advised him that I would considerthepossibilityofhavingcriminalcharges laid.NeedlesstosayIwasfurious,butalsodeeply concernedaboutmyplayerssoIdecidedtostayin Timminsovernightandassesstheoptions.

In due course I sent a night letter to the Attorney General of Ontario, Roy McMurtry, seeking advice on the possibility of undertaking criminalproceedingsagainstaplayerorplayersof theTimminsNorthStarsasaresultofthealleged incidentsinthegame.

I also advised James Aspin, secretary manager of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association and Donald Dewsbury, president of the NIHL, and returned to Chapleau, where the municipalcouncilwouldaddressthematterbefore asixthgamewasplayedattheChapleauMemorial CommunityArena.

When we returned to Timmins for game seven,largebannersgreetedus,mostlyfocusedon me.

WhydidItakesuchaction?

Here is what I said 36 years ago on February26,1976:"IbelieveIhadnoalternative. WhileIrecognizethathockeyisaphysicalcontact sport, the point is reached when senseless acts of violencecannolongerbetoleratedwithouttaking action.

"There are those who will dismiss the incidents as an aggressive brand of hockey, but when two players are hospitalized with serious injuries, and others forced to leave a game, and verbal abuse occurs, then I would submit that a mostserioussituationhasdeveloped."

William McMurtry, the brother of the attorneygeneral,hadwrittenareportonviolence inhockeyin1974.Ihavelookedagainatthemajor recommendations and don't think much has changed.

Three members of the North Stars were subsequentlychargedwithassaultbutwerefound notguilty.

Notwithstanding the situation that developed at the end of the first year in the NIHL, the team held its first awards banquet with Doug Prusky as master of ceremonies, and honoured severalplayers.

Goaltender David McAdam was named Most Valuable Player having played in all the 32 regularseasongamesandtheplayoffs.Inmaking the presentation, Keith "Buddy" Swanson said "every hockey team has a backbone and on this team it is David McAdam." He won theWesmak LumberTrophy.

Jamie Doyle, who was in his first year at WilfridLaurierUniversity,andtravelledhometo play was named Most Valuable Player in the Playoffs. Jamie had 14 goals and 12 assists, including a league record six goals in a single game.JimYoung,theTimminsgoaltendertoldme later,that"Jamieturnedontheredlightbehindme somanytimesthatIhada sunburnonmyneck."

After much debate, in which I did not participate,councilagreedthatthegamecouldbe played, but with a large police presence. That happened, and more than 1,400 fans packed the arenaforthegame.

Despite a truly valiant effort by the Huskies,welosttheseries,andtothisday,Ihave theutmostrespectandadmirationforeachofthose playerswhodidtheirbesttowinit.

Richard Lacroix, the team captain and leadingscorerwasnamedRookieoftheYear--all players were eligible and rookies. Richard was anotherplayerwhonevermissedagameallyear.

from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa

Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

Gunviolenceisasignificant concern that needs to be addressed appropriately. We have a duty to ensure that Canadians feel safe in their communities without fear of gun violence. But appropriate gun control also must mean ensuring that people who use guns for legitimatepurposes,suchashunters andfarmers,aren'tpunishedforthe actions of those who would use them for violent or criminal intent. ThisiswhattheLiberalgovernment got so wrong with their last-minute amendmentstoBillC-21

Guncrimeisfortunatelynot nearlyasprevalentinournationasit is for our neighbors to the south, with Canada averaging 0.78 per 100,000 population for firearm-

related homicides, compared to 6.2 per 100,000 in the U.S. in 2020. However, rates are rising, and it's important that we get ahead of gun violence before it gets worse. There has been a six percent increase in firearm-related homicides between 2020 and 2021 in Canada. The majority of those firearm-related homicides, 57 percent, were committed with handguns.

Weallwanttoseeguncrime reducedinourcommunities,andthe original intent of Bill C-21 was designed for the government to crack down on handguns. While certainly not a perfect bill, it was narrowlyfocusedonhandguns,and generally received support from New Democrats, Greens, and Bloc membersintheHouse.However,in late 2022 at the Public Safety Committee,attheeleventhhour,the government introduced massive amendments that would have

prohibited a large number of rifles and shotguns that are commonly usedforhunting.

The amendments were so significant that parsing them becameaprobleminitself.Itturned what was already a fairly comprehensive 44-page bill into a monstrosity. They added two amendments, one that listed literally thousands of new weapons that would be banned, and a second amendment that would pre-ban potential firearms before coming onto market. Those amendments totaledover200pages,over5times the size of the original bill. In introducing such sweeping amendments to the bill, the Liberals grossly overplayed their hand without proper consultations with Indigenous Peoples and stakeholders, and also circumvented the process of debate and Committee study.

Somuchsothattheamendments were roundly criticized by sport shooting and hunting organizations, First Nations, and indeed MPs from all other parties, aswellasafewLiberalMPs.

The NDP actually tried to have the amendments stricken from Bill C-21, citinganabuseofprocessas the amendments far exceeded the scope of the original bill, and for not allowing MPs in the House ofCommonstheopportunity to debate the amendments. WhiletheSpeakercouldnot rule on the point of order as the bill was still in Committee, the government

seeminglyfinallysawthewritingon the wall and withdrew the amendments late last week. The Justice Minister finally admitted as much, stating “We didn't quite get it right. It had a little too much reach.” Which,tobeclear,wasthemessage he was receiving consistently since the amendments were tabled monthsago.

Appropriate gun control is difficult to get right. We need to ensure that those who have been convicted of violent criminal offencescan'teasilygettheirhands onguns.Weneedtoensurethatany flowofillegalweaponsfromacross the border is cut off before they enter the country. But we also cannot impede on those who use long guns for hunting and farming, and can't hinder the treaty rights of indigenous peoples. The approach the Liberal government took was wrong. Rather than try to halt the amendments, the Conservatives usedtheopportunitytofundraiseoff the frustration felt in our Northern and rural communities rather than pushtohavethemstrickenfromthe bill.

The political games that camewiththoselast-minuteamendments could have all been avoided. Itwasanunforcederrorthatcaused unduestresstopeoplewhowerejust trying to feed their families and protecttheirlivestock.

TheLegislativeAssemblyofOntariowill resume sitting again on February 21st. Personally, I am very excited to return to the LegislaturewithMaritStilesasthenewlyelected Leader of the Official Opposition. I've known Marit since she was first elected in 2018. Her strengthandcommitmenttoimprovingthelives ofallOntarianshavealwaysimpressedme.

She is a down-to-earth, born-and-bred Newfoundlander who learned the meaning of hard work growing up on a farm. As an “Islander,” she has a strong understanding and great respect for our precious natural resources, environment, and working people. Marit says, “You can't live in Newfoundland without knowing both the power and fragility of nature. Fishermen,farmers,hunters—anyonewholives and relies so closely on land and sea knows we

cannevertakeitforgranted.”

OurnewleaderandtheNDPcaucushave ourjobcutoutforusasthecountdowntotheJune 2026 electionhas started. But, while we have to be conscious of the ticking clock, as an experienced party, we know to keep our eye on thegame,notthecalendar.

SomeOntarianshaveamisconceptionof whatitmeanstobetheOfficialOpposition.You'd be surprised how many people think that the Official Opposition's job is to automatically criticize,pointfingers,embarrass,andaccusethe government of doing a poor job governing the province.

Inactuality,thedutyoftheOfficialOppositionis tocloselymonitorandscrutinizethedecisionsof the governing party and cabinet. We do this by creatingashadowcabinetledbytheLeaderofthe Official Opposition. Members of the shadow cabinet, called critics, are assigned a portfolio best suited to their experience, knowledge, and skills.

The title of 'critic' is in some ways unfortunatebecausethewordhascometomean always taking an unfavourable view. 'Critic' is generally understood as a person who harshly judges others, makes derisive comments, and finds fault – often without good reason.    Butthatisnotthecasefor a shadow cabinet critic. Instead, their duty is to scrutinize government proposals, policies, and decisions for three essential purposes.

The first is to ensure that the voters know what the government is planning or has done during their time in office. Sometimes a government might choose not to let people know backgroundinformationthatcan profoundly alter the public's outlookonthedirectiontheyare taking the province. The Opposition's job is to ensure the voters have all the information theyneedtofullyunderstandthe effects of the government's actions.TheOppositiondoesthis by hearing from voters who believe the government needs to change current or proposed legislation. In addition, the rules of the Legislature allocate us time to ask questions of the government on the people's behalf and voice alternative ideas.

This brings us to the

Opposition's second job: to review government plansandlegislationtopointoutanyweaknesses orflaws.Toaccomplishthis,theOppositionhas members on committees to examine proposed bills and to work alongside the government to propose amendments or changes that would improve legislation. The committee can present improvementsbeforeabillisdebatedandpassed atthethirdandfinalreading.

Finally, the Opposition can present their own ideas to improve life for Ontarians by introducingaPrivateMembersBill(PMB).Any MPPwhoisnotacabinetministercanintroduce aPMB.Itcouldbetoaddressalocalissuewithin a member's own riding or all across the province.

To become Ontario law, a bill must pass through all the stages prescribed by the Legislature, supported by the majority of the House. Naturally, the government would prefer they get the credit for any positive change. Therefore, it is common for government memberstowithholdtheirsupportforaPMBat the direction of the premier and cabinet simply because an opposition member rather than a governmentmemberinitiatedit.However,itisa valuable tool for the Opposition to start a conversation about an issue or to push the politicalneedle.

There are several ways the Official OppositioncanworkinQueen'sParktomakelife better for all Ontarians. Working with governmentslikethecurrentFordConservatives can be frustrating at times. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, I am always rewarded by our team'shardworkandeffectiveness.

I have always maintained that for a politician to be effective, they must possess the ability to speak and communicate. However, their ability to listen to constituents' words with understanding and compassion is even more critical. Politicians must master the skill of opening their ears and minds rather than their mouths.BetweennowandJune2026,Ontarians will have the opportunity to see Marit Stiles in actionasthenewleaderofthe NDP.Voterswill haveachancetoseewhatadifferenceitmakesto haveleadershipthatlistensandrespondstowhat matterstopeopleratherthanleadershipthatuses theirpositiontobypassmeaningfulconsultation andpushthroughtheirownagenda.
