Chapleau Moments

WRITTENOCTOBER2009

Just recently I received a message on Facebook from Derek Lafreniere recalling "You'll Get Used To It ... The War Show", by Peter Colley, a play about World War II that I directed at Ecole Secondaire Chapleau High SchooljustpriortoRemembranceDayin1987.

Derekwasastudentinmydramacourse and played a leading role in the production. He laterservedintheCanadianArmedForces.

Derekwrote:"IremembertheArmyplay you directed that I was in. It was such a great experience. In addition, we put on one hell of a show if I may say so. If I remember correctly it was a fairly large production,singing, dancing etc..."

It sure was all that you write about it DerekandafterasuccessfulruninChapleauwe took it to Wawa for a presentation at MichipicotenHighSchool.

As Remembrance Day on November 11 approaches it seemed a good time to bring back the moment that ESCHS students, staff and community members were involved in the production of Peter Colley's play. Colley noted thathisplaylookedatCanadaatwarthroughthe eyesofthesoldiersthemselves,addingthatifat times it seemed they did not take the war as seriouslyassomepeoplewouldthink,"itmustbe remembered that our soldiers didn't take it that seriously either." When they weren't actually fighting,theytookabreakfromthewar.

This play was produced in conjunction

from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa

It's summer, and for many people, that meansatripontheopenroadtovisitfriends,family, orjustspendingsometimeatthecottage.Formany of us, the distance travelling across this part of the countryhasbecomeafeatureofthenorth,and,aside from the constantly fluctuating cost of gas, it's a fairly simple way to take in the beauty of our own back yard. However, some electric vehicle drivers have found themselves struggling to find active charging stations, highlighting the problems some CanadiansmayhaveconvertingtoEVs.Thisinturn alsoaddstochallengeswearefacinginourabilityto transitionawayfromfossilfuels.

In recent weeks and months, a number of Combined Charging System (CCS) and CHAdeMO (abbreviated from Charge de Move) EVchargingstationsintownslikeMarathon,White River and Wawa have been inoperable. Tesla charging stations were still operable, but those stations aren't compatible with non-Tesla EVs, leavingmanyEVdriverswithoutachargingstation between Terrace Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. This resulted in a high number of calls for assistance from tow truck drivers in the region and several strandedtravelers.

So what's happening that's causing these issuesacrossthisstretchofthenorth?Inthecaseof the Ivy charging station in White River, it was the resultofadamagedtransformer,butinthoseother instances,wedon'thavedetails.

Thisdoesn'tbodewellforthoselookingto reducetheircarbonfootprintbyswitchingtoEVs.A recent J.D. Power Canada Electric Vehicle Consideration (EVC) Study indicates that CanadiansarequitehesitanttomovetowardsEVs, with two-thirds surveyed saying they are either “veryunlikely”or“somewhatunlikely”toconsider an EV as their next vehicle. The reasoning echoes recent travel woes along that stretch of the TransCanada highway, with respondents indicating concern with the upfront purchase price of an EV, lack of charging station availability, and the perception of limited driving distance per charge listedaskeyconcernsfromrespondents.

However, it should be noted that not all partsofthecountryareequalwhenitcomestoEV adoption.InBritishColumbiaandQuebec,thereis a higher uptake of EV consumers, relative to population,thanotherprovinces.It'snosurprise,as Quebecand BC actuallyincentivizeEVpurchases byconsumers,whichinturncreatesahigherinstall base, and further increases the availability of chargingstations.

The government has stated that they hope to see EVs account for one-fifth of all new vehicles sold by 2026, 60 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2035.Ifthisistobeevenaremotelyrealisticgoal, there needs to be a significant growth in the infrastructure necessary to support it. This would require substantial upgrades to our power grid to deal with the significant increase in electricity consumption. That would further entail building

more green energy sources as to not make EVs redundant.

Allofthisstilldoesn'taddresstheconcerns about being able to drive across large parts of the province, and indeed, the country, with an EV. While there are approximately 45,000 charging stationsacrossCanada,thegovernment'sgoalisto almostdoublethatnumberby2027to84,000.The government is assisting proponents with funding for some of the project costs to build the infrastructureneededforEVchargingstations,and while reliability of the stations is built into the governmentsubsidies,thefactthattherewereentire swathsoflandwhereachargerwasavailablebutnot functioning doesn't speak highly of the consequencesofnotmaintainingthatreliability. It'snotappealingtodriverstomakeaswitchtoEVs ifthere'sanydegreeofuncertaintyabouttheability tochargeavehicle.AndwhileEVsareagoodstep towards reducing our carbon footprint, if charging

remainsaproblem,thenpeoplewillbeunwillingto move away from gas. Combating climate change remainsanimportantissueforCanadians,butlack of government policies and corporate inaction remain massive hurdles in peoples' ability to do theirpart.

Aside from investments in improving the infrastructure to support a growing demand for EVs, the government should also consider mandating auto makers to make charging components universal. Europe has functionally mandatedtheuseofMennekestype2andCCStype 3 connectors be standard, and this has had a significant increase in their EV adoption. While recent deals with Stellantis and Volkswagon to produce EV batteries in Canada is good news for workers and the future of zero-emission vehicles, it'sclearthatthereisstillworktodotodevelopthe infrastructureneededtogetCanadiansmovingwith EVs.

Being able to communicate with family, friends and emergency responders during an emergency is critical, but keep in mind that everyday communication devices may not work properly during an emergency. If possible, use non-voice channels like text messaging, email or social media, as these use less bandwidth than voice communications and may work even when telephoneservicehas been disrupted. If you have tomakeaphonecall,keepyourconversationbrief and communicate only critical information. Keeping calls short also saves the battery life of yourmobilephone.

One of the greatest perks that many Northern families enjoy is being able to go to camp to be surrounded by natural beauty and solitude,justminutesfromhome.Someofuscan even go there daily after work. I know a family whofrequentlyenjoyshavingtheirkidscometo campwithlittleones.WhenIstoppedtochatwith aneighbourrecently,Isawthegrandmaholding up a blanket and playing peek-a-boo with the baby. Being so young, the child had not developedanunderstandingofthepermanenceof objects. According to child psychologist Jean Piaget, children learn between infancy and age twothatobjectsstillexistevenwhentheycannot beseen.Thisiscalledobjectpermanence.Think backtocollegedaysandPsych101.

After watching the grandma play that gamewithhergrandchild,itoccurredtomethat Premier Ford likes to play this game too. He is tryingtohidehisgovernment'spastdecisionsand actions. He's hoping that by the time the 2026 provincialelectionrollsaround,hisgovernment's questionable decisions will be out of sight and neverhaveevenexistedinvoters'minds.

Ontarianscan'taffordtoallowDougFord to win this game of peek-a-boo. People must

remember how the Ford government wasted millions of tax dollars cancelling green renewable energy projects such as windmill generators. He also spent millions ripping out ElectricVehicle(EV)chargingstationsthatwere already installed and working on some of Ontario's400serieshighways.

What was Mr. Ford and his government thinkingafterhewaselectedin2018?IntheJuly 11, 2023 edition of the Toronto Star, reporter Marco Chown Oved stated that the Ford government spent $231 million to cancel 700 clean energy projects. And in the government's infinite wisdom, they chose to eliminate the electric vehicle (EV) purchase subsidy. With no new renewables coming online, the electricity systemhascometorelymoreheavilyonnatural gas,drivingupemissions.

Fast forward to last month. Energy Minister Todd Smith held a media event to proudly announce, “Our government is putting shovels in the ground to build critical infrastructurethatwillsupportOntario'sgrowing EV manufacturing industry. With EV fast chargers now available at all 20 renovated ONroute stations along our province's busiest highways, it will be more convenient than ever this summer for workers and families to grab a coffee or a meal while charging their electric vehicle.”

By ripping down electric vehicle charging stations that were already installed, DougForddraggedOntariobackwardandburnt money. Then suddenly, he realizes he made a mistake and decides he has to make up for lost time, no matter how much it costs Ontarians. Hmmm…maybethisisPremierFord'sversionof 'BacktotheFuture'?

Thenameofthegametodayisforgovernmentsto invest in clean-green-renewableenergy. Ontario is already woefully behind in working toward a zero emissions target. And just days ago, the government released its latest energy plan, PoweringOntario'sGrowth.

Thereportstatesthatenergyconsumption isontherisenowforthefirsttimesince2005.So, whatisMr.Ford'splantogetusbackontrackand keep up with the demand for electricity? Build more nuclear power plants because they are the affordable clean way to produce future power. Unfortunately, however, his plan is frightfully shortondetails.

The July 8 Toronto Star reports that the government is planning “massive expansions at two nuclear plants, promising more than six gigawattsofnewgeneration—enoughtopower sixmillionhomesbythemid-2030s.”Threenew Small Modular Reactors will be built at

Darlington,andafull-sizereactoronLakeHuron attheBruceplantlocation.

PremierFordistakingOntariansonanolimits spending spree! He doesn't know how muchthiswillcosttaxpayersorhowtheprovince will even pay for it all. He's told Ontarians he wantsa blankchequewithoutgivingcitizensall thefacts,figuresandchoices.Basically,Mr.Ford is telling Ontarians, “We've painted ourselves intoacornerandhereiswhatwearegoingtodo tofixtheproblem,nomatterwhatitcostsyou.”

Itisinterestingtonotealsothatoneofthe majorsellingpointsthegovernmentispromoting ishowcleanandenvironmentallyresponsibleitis to invest in atomic energy. But really, just how clean is it? The nonprofit consumer advocacy organization,PublicCitizen,saysnuclearenergy can'tholdacandletowindandsolarpower.They estimateittakesbetween10–18yearstorecover the energy and carbonemissionsused to build a nuclear facility. But it takes less than 1 year to recovertheenergy usedto installwind-powered generators and 3 years for solar generators. Despite Premier Ford's grand ambitions for nuclear power, we would not have been forced into the position of expensive retrofits and relianceonexpandingnuclearenergy'sroleinthe grid if he hadn't spent so much of taxpayer's money undermining renewables when he took office.

Ontario families deserve so much better thanagovernmentthatdragsusbackwardswhile painting Ontarians into a hopeless corner of limited options. They deserve leadership that doesn'tplaypeek-a-boo-a-boowithinformation, costs and plans, then try to recover with hastily made plans and decisions. We need responsible leadership that focuses and commits to meeting vital targets that will ensure our economic and environmentalstability.

Come June 2026, Mr. Ford will surely learn if Ontarians understand object permanence when theygotothepolls.
