March 8th is International Women’s Day
E
stablished in 1977 by the U n i t e d Nations, a resolution was adopted inviting its members to designate a date for Women's rights and
international peace. In Canada, March 8th is the designated day for International Women's Day. This special day provides an opportunity to reflect
on the progress made to advance women's equality, to assess the challenges facing women in contemporary society, to consider future steps and of course to celebrate
the gains made in these areas. This special day encourages Canadians to join in the journey towards gender equality and help to map out enduring strategies for achiev-
ing it. IWD is about remembering the battles long fought to build a society that is just and fair to all its members, a society in w h i c h d i v e r s i t y,
t o l e r a n c e , s a f e t y, social justice and equality between women and men is a given. It is about celebrating what women have done, are doing and can do.
La Journée international de de la femme, le 8 mars
E
n 1 9 7 7 , l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies a adopté une résolution invitant les États membres à proclamer une journée
pour les droits de la femme et la paix internationale. Le Canada a désigné le 8 mars Journée internationale de la femme (JIF).
La Journée internationale de la femme est un événement qui rejoint toutes les femmes du monde et les motive à atteindre leur plein
potential. Il s'agit d'une occasion de célébrer la force collective des femmes du passé, du present et de l'avenir. Chaque année à cette date, les
Canadiennes et les Canadiens mesurent les progrés accomplis en vue d'atteindre l'égalité des femmes et leur pleine participation à la société, réfléchissent aux
défies et aux obstacles qui les attendant et examinant les mesures à prendre pour que toutes les femmes parviennent à l'égalité, dans tous les aspects de la vie.
Great Northern Ride comes thru Chapleau
L
ast Sunday, 70 snowmobile riders from the Brantford area headed to Sudbury for the start of a six-day 1,600 km ride through Northern Ontario in support of a number of local charities including Lansdowne Children's Centre. This is the 14th year that this event, The Great Northern Ride, is taking place. The event started in February of 2001 when thirteen riders rode from Huntsville to Sudbury and back – a trip of about 500 kilometers. It originated when a group
Long Term Forecast Friday High 0 Low -8 Saturday High -10 Low - 14 Sunday High -11 Low -18 Monday High -14 Low -20 Tuesday High -13 Low -21 Wednesday High -21 Low -24
of Rotarians, led by Bob Caissie were looking for another way to raise money and deliver on the Rotarian mission to help local youth. It was a great combination of a love for snowmobiling, the outdoors and fellowship. It has grown, from the first year when $32,000 was raised to the most recently completed 2013 ride that travelled to Quebec and generated an amazing $165,000. It has grown because it is truly a unique experience. “Riders return with a friend because they were looking for and received the sledding trip of a lifetime” says Bob Caissie who still takes a leadership role in making the ride a reality. The goal this year is to raise $ 1 5 0 , 0 0 0 f o r Lansdowne's Every Kid Counts program and other children's charities. Caissie says that if the riders are successful, it will put their 13-year fundraising total at more
than $1.5 million. Over its 13 year history the Great Northern Ride has covered over 20,000 kilometers of snowmobile terrain. The participants have been from Cold Lake Alberta through Northern Saskatchewan to Manitoba, all of Ontario and most of Quebec, and even as far east as Newfoundland. The success of this event is due to the dedication of a wonderful group of men and the support of the Rotary Club of Brantford. “These riders, they love to ride and they can do it for a lot less than this. They do it for the kids,” says Caissie. Lansdowne Children's Centre provides essential services to children with special needs and their families. This includes children with physical, developmental and communications
challenges. The Centre supports over 2,000 children and families each year in Brantford as well as Brant, Haldimand and Norfolk counties. Lansdowne's Executive Director, RitaMarie Hadley notes that “When these snowmobile riders sled long distances through northern Ontario raising funds for children with
special needs it lets Lansdowne offer recreation to young people who otherwise face barriers and tells them and their families that they matter and should be included. It's inspiring to have this group of riders and Bob as their leader sustaining this commitment in this caring community.” The riders will began their trip in
Sudbury on February 23 and rode from there to Timmins, on to Hearst, then Chapleau, Elliot Lake and finally returning to Sudbury on February 28.

WINTER CARNIVAL WRAP-UP Another Winter Carnival has passed and ,by all accounts, was enjoyed by many. Many thanks go to the various o rg a n i z a t i o n s a n d volunteers who planned and supervised the numerous events. And a special thanks to the participants whose appreciation is the motivation for this annual event. As a committee we try to expand the activities to include as many interests as possible. We know we are not always successful. New ideas are always welcome. We h o l d a p u b l i c meeting for each town
activity with the idea of receiving new ideas. Committee members are receptive to one-onone discussions, the contents of which are forwarded to the committee. No need to let a good idea die with coffee talk. Let's review some of the winners! Once again The Chapleau Express sponsored the Winter Carnival Photo Contest. This year six individuals submitted 16 photos. The photos were numbered and judged by Richard Beaudoin, Stephane Picard and Julian Boucher .
Letters to the Editor To the supporters of Maison Boreal Home Inc.: After six years serving as Chair and the last year as Vice Chair, I have resigned as a Board member of the Transitional Living in Chapleau Committee, which eventually became Maison Boreal Home Inc.
I would like to convey my thanks to several people and service clubs who organized fundraising events, and many individuals for their personal financial donations and to the countless people who volunteered many hours of their time and expertise. They all
Pictures were judged on theme, composition, light and focus. Jennifer Harvard won first prize ($100) and second prize ($50) and an honourable mention. Student Robin Raposo received a second honourable mention. A composite board of all submitted photos is on display at the town hall for public scrutiny. Other Chapleauites were Carnival winners. The Ice Sculpture Contest produced excellent creations; Israel Fortin and his prehistoric fish won with honourable mention to Richard
Groleau and Doris Mitchell for their polar bear family and to Nikki Bouvier for the sea turtle. Our Lady of Fatima won the school prize with its Olympic podium. Adam Gauthier, Our Lady of Fatima student, won the free draw contest. The winners for the cardboard box race were Tuija Berthelot for the longest distance, Wyatt Hawthorne for the second longest distance and Niina Berthelot had the best decorated. Again, thanks to all involved. If you have an idea let us know!
believed in our goal which was to provide a transitional living facility for the seniors in our area located in downtown Chapleau. I would be remiss if I did not mention the Chapleau Seniors Club who were our first sponsors. Most of our original members came from this organization. We originally became a committee of
the Chapleau Municipal Council. This was appreciated by all concerned. The late Bill Ivey and his staff were instrumental in pointing us in the right direction. Volunteers in Chapleau helped conduct the survey developed by Bill to assess the needs of seniors. The results clearly indicated that this facility was sorely needed in this area. I would also like to thank Benjamin Burns, our first employee, for all the work he did in regards to our capital funding. I would like to encourage continued support of this worthwhile project. The demographics clearly indicate that if we want to keep our seniors in the area, we certainly need this type of facility. Sincerely, Doreen Cachagee

Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris
"My gosh. This is great. Canada wins hockey GOLD, and it becomes a virtual Chapleau reunion," I wrote on Facebook moments after Canada defeated Sweden at the Winter Olympics in Russia.

Celebrating Golden Moments in Chapleau hockey history after Canada wins at Winter Olympics refereeing) and it was usually several packs, but I really don't know the brand the Canadians were chewing, but I can relate to them even all these years later since I coached hockey. It got me thinking about Chapleau hockey moments which started shortly after the community was established in 1885. Although it was an outdoor rink at first located on Lorne Street across from the CPR shops, we know that in 1893 a local team travelled to Sudbury to play. It lost but may have been the first road trip. By 1910 there was a local league playing for the McEwen Cup. According to Vince Crichton in Pioneering in Northern Ontario Robert McEwen operated at pressing and tailoring shop starting about 1905, and later he worked for the CPR pressing uniforms. Through the years there were many teams in Chapleau, playing in a very competitive town league, first in the old old rink, then the Chapleau Memorial Arena, both located on Lorne Street, then in the Moore Arena at the Chapleau Recreation Centre. The Moore Arena was named after Mrs. A.W. 'Hockey' Moore one of the community's biggest supporters of hockey teams, who was also largely responsible for

Once again the Chapleau Curling Club hosted a Bonspiel for the C h a p l e a u Wi n t e r Carnival. A group of 12 teams participated, many in the theme costume of “Famous Pairs”. The Friday night and Saturday spiel also welcomed many Carnival participants visiting the curling lounge for food and beverage, and to watch some of
the great curling. Jack O'Conner's team took the A Event, Gaston Demers' team the B Event, Robert Jean's the C Event, and Susan Lindquist's the D Event. The best team costume this year went to the Canning Rink for the “King and his Hearts”, and best pair went to Susan Lindquist and Jennifer Murray for Dr. Seuss' “Thing 1 & Thing2”. This was the 3rd local bonspiel hosted by the club, following an Opening B o n s p i e l i n November, and the
New Year's Bonspiel i n J a n u a r y. T h e curling club has also hosted a Regional Knights of Columbus bonspiel in January, and has just completed the 30 team Regional MNR bonspiel. Curling is not done yet though. We are still having 4 more Friday night socials, a Closing Bonspiel on March 28-29 (Shamrock theme), and are hosting high school playdowns in early March. Our Little Rocker's program has kicked off and will be wrapping up in midMarch.

Chapleau Moments Cont’d from P.3 won the league and Northern Ontario Hockey Association titles. The team was first coached by Lorne Riley who was replaced by Keith 'Buddy' Swanson after Lorne became ill -they simply reversed roles as Buddy coached and Lorne managed the team. At Winter Carnival time starting in the 1950s after Ernest 'Sonny' Bignucolo, an outstanding goaltender was killed on active service in Canada's armed forces, there was an Intermediate level tournament for the Ernest 'Sonny' Bignucolo Memorial Trophy. It was the major highlight of the carnivals and fans were literally "hanging from the rafters" in the memorial arena. By the 1930s Chapleau High
School had hockey teams, coached by John 'Mac' McClellan, who was at the school for 30 years as teacher and principal. The last CHS teams played in the 1960s ending with the coincidental arrival of the Junior "B" Huskies and the move to the "new" school on the hill in 1966. The Chapleau Intermediate "A" Huskies played in the Northland Intermediate Hockey League from 1975 to 1979, and it was those years to which Linda was referring when I became a gum chewer. The team never won a league championship but in its fourth year finally defeated their archrivals the Timmins Northstars in the semi finals, and Chapleau celebrated. Chapleau minor hockey teams have been successful
in winning tournaments and championships over the years. In fact, Bantam teams, coached by David Mizuguchi and David Futhey enjoyed much success in the 1960s and provided many of the players for the Junior "B" and Intermediate "A" Huskies. Mrs. Olive M. Card,

Despite a few days with temperatures above seasonal, starting around January 10, the mean temperatures this month were colder than normal throughout the province. There were a few exceptions – M o o s o n e e , Petawawa and Ottawa – which experienced temperatures within the normal range. Elsewhere, mean temperatures for the month were below normal values by as much as 3.6 degrees Celsius.

southwestern Ontario. Windsor set a record for the most snow ever received in any month (not just for a January) at that location, with 93.6 centimetres. The record had been 90.6 centimetres, set in December 2000. A few other locations also approached record values. For example, it was the second snowiest January in both Muskoka and Sault Ste. Marie.

areas were impacted by the northern edge of a storm system that tracked well to the south of Lake Erie. This system deposited a little more than 30 centimetres of snow. Northwestern and northeastern Ontario came under the influence of a vigorous Alberta Clipper that swept through these areas on January 3-4. General snowfall amounts of between 10 and 20 centimetres were reported across the north from this system. However, as the system tracked north of Lake Superior, additional moisture from the lake contributed to snowfall totals of 25 to 30 centimetres in areas to the northeast.

Chapleau High School Team Qualifies For NWOSSAA Curling Jacob, Jones and Jolivet? No doubt about it, Canada loves their curling and the Chapleau Curling Club has seen a real rebirth this year under the leadership of Kevin Lindquist, Terry Legge and a lengthy list of volunteers. In keeping with this new level of interest, Chapleau High School has a curling team for the first time in quite a few years. These students have been participating in the league run by the Chapleau Curling Club
on Monday and Wednesday nights and using the valuable experiences they had during those matches they were successful in placing second at NSSSAA Curling in Terrace Bay earlier this week! The team of Kodiak Jolivet, Keiko Larocque, Colt Meyer and Kassie Friend coached by Mr. Matt Monarch will be representing our region at NWOSSAA Curling this coming Sunday through Tuesday at the Chapleau Curling Club.
They will be competing against teams from SSSAA which includes teams from Thunder Bay region and from NorWOSSAA which involves teams from as far away as Kenora and Rainy River. If you would like to come out and catch some of the action come to the Curling Club anytime on Monday to watch young curlers compete for a chance to advance to the OFSAA (all O n t a r i o ) Championships. Go Raiders!
Least snow since 2010 moved into Southern Ontario and provided a general snowfall from January 5 into the morning hours the next day. Snowfall amounts between 15 and 25 centimetres were reported through southwestern Ontario into the Lake Simcoe area and eastwards towards the upper Ottawa Valley. The highest amounts were recorded in Barrie, where 30 to 40 centimetres fell. In the wake of the January 5-6 storm, rare blizzard warnings were issued for areas near Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. These blizzard warnings were issued due to concerns that very cold air would flood into Southern Ontario from January 6-9, setting up ideal conditions for long-lived and persistent snow squalls. No single Environment Canada observation site captured the true extent of this event, but
numerous reports of road closures and poor visibilities in snow and blowing snow were reported in areas to the east of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay during this event. The remainder of the month saw a series of wind chill warnings being issued across the province as very cold air combined with gusty winds to produce wind chills in the -30s in Southern Ontario and the -40s in Northern Ontario. More systems born in the Prairies also moved through the province during the month. These did not necessarily provide significant snow accumulations but, on occasion, would necessitate blowing snow warnings as the loose snow on the ground would be picked up and produce poor visibilities and significant drifts on roads. The snowbelt areas near Lake Superior, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay also experienced a series of snow squall events as cold northwest winds moved over the Great Lakes. In a few cases, the cold winds were driven by winds from the southwest, and this resulted in snow squalls occurring along the north shore
of Lake Ontario between Cobourg and Kingston. A snow squall occurring along the north shore of Lake Ontario on January 24 resulted in a 50-vehicle pileup on Highway 401 near Brighton. Persistent squall activity, as well as extensive blowing snow during the period from January 19-29, resulted in the County of Dufferin declaring an emergency. The road crews and emergency management personnel in the county had been working almost non-stop during this period and there had been numerous road closures due to poor visibilities and snow piling up on the roads. The declaration of an emergency allowed the County to bring in assistance from neighbouring areas to help deal with the situation.

16th Annual “Teddy” Government Waste Awards Winners Federal – Employment and Social Development Canada – wasted $2.5 million on 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs advertising for the non-existent Canada Jobs Grant Provincial – fired Toronto Pan-Am Games boss Local – Vancouver’s TransLink builds $4.5 million parking lot for nobody Lifetime Achievement – The Senate of Canada, after sober second thought The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today held its 16th annual "Teddy" Waste Awards ceremony, celebrating the best of the worst in government waste. Joining the CTF’s pig mascot Porky the Waste Hater was CTF Federal Director Gregory Thomas in his third year as Master of Ceremonies, and talented event hostess Nakisa. The gala awards event took place Parliament Hill at the Charles Lynch Press Conference Theatre. The Teddy, the pig-shaped award given annually by the CTF to government’s worst waste offenders, is named for Ted Weatherill, a former federal appointee who was turfed in 1999 for submitting an imaginative collection of sketchy expense claims, including a $700 lunch for two. The CTF hosts the Teddy awards each year during red-carpet season to highlight waste and malfeasance at the national, provincial and local level. “Sometimes taxpayers get the last laugh on crooked politicians and free-spending bureaucrats,” said Thomas. “Sometimes a Teddy award can be the beginning of the end for a sad story of government waste.” Federal Teddy Winner: Employment and Social Development Canada “If you jumped from your sofa during the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2013 to alert your unemployed teenager about the fabulous new $15,000 Canada Jobs Grant, you were in for a sad surprise. Despite $2.5 million in taxpayer-funded advertising – such as those slick TV commercials during the games – the Canada Jobs Grant didn’t exist, and still doesn’t. "Maybe by the time the 2014 playoffs roll around the government will reach a deal with the provinces and Canada’s employers, and bring the Canada Jobs Grant into existence,” said Thomas. Provincial Teddy Winner: Former Toronto Pan-Am Games CEO Ian Troop After winning the provincial Teddy two years in a row, Alberta put forward a strong effort this past year, spending $45,000 to send Premier Alison Redford and an aide first class to South Africa for the funeral of former president Nelson Mandela. Nova Scotia failed miserably to make the Teddy grade, when its rookie premier Stephen McNeil expensed only $946.44 for the same trip. “Riding to Alberta’s rescue in 2014 was fired CEO of Toronto’s 2016 Pan-American Games. Not only is the $2.5 billion event already $1.1 billion over budget, Troop added insult to injury, collecting $552,065 in annual salary, while expensing 91 cents for parking and $8,500 for a lavish party in Mexico,” continued Thomas. Local Teddy Winner: Vancouver’s TransLink Vancouver’s accident and waste-prone regional transit authority (TransLink) stepped in it once again this past year, shelling out $4.5 million for a parking lot with a $2 toll that nobody ever uses. The CBC was able to identify a single user who chose the pricey lot because he knows his vehicle “will never get scratched.” Lifetime Achievement Teddy: The Senate of Canada Last year’s Lifetime Achievement Teddy went to the orange-juice swilling former Conservative cabinet minister Bev Oda, despite a strong case honouring the Senate of Canada. But with one former senator finishing off a jail term for fraud, another former senator and a suspended senator facing criminal charges, two suspended senators under police investigation, and dozens more dragging their feet on the auditor general’s investigation of their spending, CTF supporters across the country gave the issue some sober second thought, and gave the Senate a Lifetime Achievement Teddy. Other nominees included: Department of National Defence: $14,000 for public-opinion polling to determine Canadians’ beliefs about the powers of super heroes.
The School of the Public Service: $1.7 million as the federal agency tasked with teaching ethics to government executives was cited for five years of dubious and unethical contracting practices with insiders. Hydro Quebec: $1.92 million (estimated) for unionized crane operators to play cards, watch television, and sleep at home, sometimes being paid double time on 12 hour shifts, while crane operators from Germany actually worked to build a hydro project. The scam was revealed at the Charbonneau commission hearings into the construction industry. Nova Scotia’s Department of Highways: doubled its budgeted estimate for road repairs while completing half the expected work, shelling out $275 a day for flag patrollers and more for crew members at higher pay grades. Brampton, Ontario Mayor Susan Fennel topped up her $$213.727 salary – the highest in Canada, by expensing $2,162 for personalized barbeque aprons, $1,326 for Mandarin Chinese lessons, and $531 for hotel accommodation in Toronto – a short drive from Brampton – while taking the Chinese lessons. City of Winnipeg Manitoba: A scathing audit slammed the city for building a fire hall on a developer’s land without first securing the land. While bureaucrats had cobbled together a land swap deal, they didn’t secure city council’s authorization first. Now, the fire hall sits on land owned by a private property developer, and taxpayers are facing an undetermined expropriation bill. LAST YEAR’S WINNERS Federal Teddy Winner: Chief Roger Redman, Standing Buffalo First Nation: When band members gathered to impeach him, the Chief padlocked the band office and confiscated the chequebook. For leading the Standing Buffalo reserve, home to 443 people, Chief Redman took home more after-tax income than the Prime Minister, and each of his councillors out-earned Saskatchewan’s premier. Provincial Teddy Winner: Former Alberta Tourism Minister Christine Cusanelli: Alberta had a problem on its hands: cancelling a massive provincial junket to the London Olympics left the province with $113,000 worth of empty hotel rooms. The minister helped the province with the problem by taking her mother and her daughter to the Olympics with her, billing the entire trip to the taxpayers before eventually paying the money back. Local Teddy Winner: Toronto Maintenance and Skilled Trades Council: The Toronto Maintenance and Skilled Trades Council billed the Toronto Public School District for 293,000 work orders totalling $158 million, including $143 to attach a pencil sharpener to a desk with four screws and $266 for hanging three pictures on a wall. Union boss, Jimmy Hazel believes in being accountable – to himself. As he told a Toronto Star reporter “We don’t need to f----ing prove anything to anybody about costs.” Lifetime Achievement Teddy: Bev Oda: After expensing chauffeured limousines in cities from Halifax to London England, expensing two luxury hotels in London on the same nights, ordering $16 glasses of orange juice, and charging taxpayers for an air purifier so she could smoke in her office, the former Harper cabinet minister left office, with only her $52,000 annual Parliamentary pension to comfort her for the rest of her life. Other nominees included: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada: $826,000 to a private company to develop sausages that don’t explode when you cook them. Metro Vancouver Translink: untold costs to mobilize the RCMP, the Coast Guard, Transport Canada, Vancouver Airport security and Air Canada security, when the Metro Vancouver Transit Police forgot explosives on a commercial Air Canada plane after a training exercise with their bomb-sniffing dog. The Senate of Canada: $106 million for this unelected group of unelected politicians who refuse to disclose details of their public expenses to the public. New Brunswick MLAs: two former New Brunswick MLAs dragged taxpayers before the province’s human rights tribunal, seeking protection for their gold-plated pensions. Ontario Government: $225 million to $775 million in costs to move two gas-fired electricity plants from Mississauga and Oakville, the former during the last election as a vote-buying exercise. Montreal’s Mr. Surprenant: $706,000 pocketed by former city engineer in bribes on city construction contracts.

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa by/par Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
When the Conservatives introduce legislation it seems that the more controversial the subject matter, the more likely the bill will receive a sunshine name. With that in mind consider the potential for the Fair Elections Act. As you do, remember that the Conservatives have spent the better part of their time in power battling Elections Canada and defending themselves from numerous Elections Act charges. I n 2 0 0 8 ,
Conservative headquarters were raided by the RCMP relating to charges that the party used local campaigns to hide the cost of national advertising. In addition to that, there were Robocalls in the 2011 election, overspending that negated the result in Labrador, and most recent ly multiple charges of spending irregularities on the campaign of the former Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister. While all parties have been investigated by Elections Canada, it is the
The nicer the name the nastier the bill Conservatives who lead in terms of sheer volume and severity. That helps to understand why they are making changes that will limit the Chief Electoral Officer ’s ability to speak publicly; increase the campaign spending limits while exempting fundraising costs from the cap; and eliminate vouching, a process that allows people without voter information cards to cast ballots. The Conservatives also want to fast track the bill and limit the ability for Canadians to have input when it is studied at committee. If that strikes you as inherently undemocratic you are not alone. New Democrats are
doing everything we can have committee meetings extended and brought to every region in Canada. The stakes are too important to do otherwise, especially when the bill amounts to allowing the Conservatives every home field advantage possible. It is a no brainer to understand how the Conservatives want the process over as quickly as possible. If Canadians are consulted, they will likely give a resounding thumbs down to proposals that favour the Conservatives by increasing the amount deep-pocketed donors can give while making it more difficult for voters who are less likely to support them to cast ballots at
all. I believe it is important to note that, unlike the wide call for public input to create new prostitution laws, the Conservatives have asked for no input for these changes. Voter suppression is defined as strategies to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising the right to vote. Disallowing vouching will do that by disproportionately affecting young and impoverished voters who don’t tend to support the Conservatives. Perhaps we could learn from our American neighbours who went through a bitter battle in Pennsylvania recently that was
strikingly similar. If we care to listen, the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union for Pennsylvania is warning strongly against the changes outlined in the “Fair Elections Act.’ Additionally, the changes will prevent Elections Canada from speaking publically about democracy, the importance of voting, conducting research, and engaging with Canadians in projects such as Democracy Week or Student Vote. At a time when voter turnout is going down, this doesn’t make any sense. It’s no wonder the bill got a sunshine name.
Un projet de loi au nom trompeur REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa by/par Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
Quand les conservateurs présentent une mesure législative, il semble que plus son contenu est controversé, plus il est susceptible de recevoir un nom souriant. À la lumière de cela, songez au potentiel du titre « Loi sur l’intégrité des élections ». Et ce faisant, rappelez-vous que les conservateurs ont passé la majeure partie de leur temps au pouvoir à combattre Élections Canada et à
se défendre contre de nombreuses accusations d’infractions à la Loi électorale. En 2008, la GRC a exécuté une descente au siège du Parti conservateur en lien avec des accusations selon lesquelles le Parti s’était servi des campagnes locales pour dissimuler le coût de la publicité nationale. En plus, il y a eu les appels automatisés pendant la campagne électorale d e 2 0 11 , l e

dépassement du plafond des dépenses qui a annulé le résultat au Labrador, et, plus récemment, plusieurs accusations d’irrégularités financières contre la campagne de l’ancien secrétaire parle-mentaire du Premier ministre. Bien que tous les partis aient fait l’objet d’enquêtes de la part d’Élections Canada, ce sont les conservateurs qui sont en tête en fait de nombre et de gravité, à comparer aux autres. Cela permet de comprendre pourquoi ils apportent des changements qui limiteront la capacité du directeur général des élections de faire des déclarations publiques, qui augmenteront les plafonds des dépenses tout en excluant les frais de collecte de fonds du plafond, et qui élimineront l’utilisation de répondants, un processus qui permet aux personnes n’ayant pas reçu de carte d’information de l’électeur de voter.
Les conservateurs veulent également accélérer le processus d’adoption du projet de loi et restreindre la possibilité pour les Canadiens d’exprimer leur avis pendant son étude en comité. Si cela vous paraît foncièrement antidémocratique, vous n’êtes pas seuls. Les néo-démocrates font tout leur possible pour faire prolonger les réunions de comité et en assurer la tenue dans toutes les régions du Canada. Les enjeux sont trop importants pour faire autrement, surtout quand le projet de loi a pour effet de conférer tous les avantages du terrain aux conservateurs. On comprend aisément pourquoi les conservateurs veulent précipiter le processus. Si les Canadiens sont consultés, ils exprimeront sans doute haut et fort leur opposition à des mesures qui favorisent les conservateurs en augmentant les sommes que les
donateurs nantis peuvent verser tout en rendant l’exercice du vote plus difficile pour ceux qui sont moins susceptibles de les appuyer. Il me paraît important de faire remarquer que si les conservateurs ont lancé une invitation générale pour obtenir les commentaires du public sur de nouvelles dispositions législatives en matière de prostitution, ils n’ont invité aucun commentaire sur ces changements. La suppression de votes consiste à employer des stratégies pour influencer le résultat d’une élection en dissuadant ou en empêchant des personnes d’exercer leur droit de vote. Interdire le recours à un répondant aura un tel effet en empêchant u n n o m b r e disproportionné d’électeurs jeunes et démunis de voter – des groupes qui n’ont pas tendance à appuyer les conservateurs. Nous pourrions peut-être tirer une leçon de la
lutte amère qu’ont vécue nos voisins américains en Pennsylvanie récemment dans un dossier très semblable. Si nous prenons la peine de l’entendre, le directeur juridique de l’American Civil Liberties Union de la Pennsylvanie nous met fermement en garde contre les modifications proposées dans la « Loi sur l’intégrité des élections ». En plus , les changements proposés empêcheront Élections Canada de s ’ e x p r i m e r publiquement sur la démocratie et l’importance de voter, d’effectuer des recherches et de mobiliser les Canadiens dans le cadre de projets comme la Semaine de la démocratie et Vote étudiant. À l’heure où la participation électorale est en déclin, ça n’a pas de sens. Il n’est pas étonnant que le projet de loi ait reçu un nom souriant.

Hospital Auxiliary welcomes new President
Shirley Goheen, past president welcomes Ben Burns as the new Hospital Auxiliary president By Shirley Goheen Past President It has been well talked about t h r o u g h t h e community that the local Hospital Auxiliary may be closing due to the fact that none of the existing members want to take on the executive positions, as we are incorporated we have to have a president, I have been trying for several
years to get someone to step up but no takers. At last years annual meeting, I states that if no one came forward at 2014 annual we will close. 2014 would have given us 100 years of service to the hospital, what an honor to celebrate that. Right up till the end of December, no one has come forward. We hosted a Red Cross meeting @ the Legion
Hall on January 11th with Darlene Provarello as guest speaker, she spoke about transportation for Chapleau residents going out of town for medical appointments etc... Joel Lafrance talked about the money the auxiliary is making and what our best fundraisers are. I then spoke on behalf of the auxiliary and how we may be closing in February
due to no president. What a surprise a young gentleman approched me for more information, showing an interest. One more meeting with him to be sure of his intentions. Our annual meeting was held February 22nd, 2014 @ the Cedar Grove dinning room, where nominations were held. The vision statement, mission
statement and auxiliary prayer were read. Shirley Goheen welcomed everyone and opened the meeting : approval of agenda, minutes of 2013 annual, auditors report, presidents report, then the floor was opened for nominations. Mr. Burns was nominated as president. No one wanted the treasurer's position and Wayne Desbiens accepted secretary position but later declined. Ben is a local boy, attented École SacrÊ Coeur, Chapleau High and University of Ottawa a n d p a s s e d psychology exams in Sudbury. He is now a conductor for Canadian Pacific Railway and is the youngest son of Ted and Rochelle Burns of Chapleau. The present auxiliary members have agreed to stay on to help Ben but we are encouraging the younger generation to get involved with him as our age is starting to show on some of us.(me). Our meetings are the third Monday of
every month @ Cedar Grove Board Room. Ben would like us to continue with our May Tea on May 2nd and still do the Fall Fair in October. We understand he has a lot of new ideas and look forward to supporting him. A s t h e president, for the past several years, I would like to thank the auxiliary members for their support and dedication to the auxiliary affiliates. Members who help so much at the teas and fall fair with their donations of food and prizes, to businesses for penny sale and silent auction donations and the community for supporting us at each event. Our active members are Lurleen Blais, Nicole Bouvier, Carmelle Card, Claudette Carroll, Wa y n e D e s b i e n s , Shirley Goheen, Gisele Harvey, Susie McColeman, Nellie Mitchell, Peggy McKnight, Rita Poulin, Ginette Pelletier,Rachel Rioux, Theresa and Terry Taylor.
