From Balwant Sanghera’s Desk

F

or the past few days the visit

by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his delegation has been much in the news in the Indian media in general and the Punjabi media in particular.

The main emphasis of this visit has been the close links between the two democracies. The progress made by the Indian diaspora in general and Sikhs in particular in Canada has been a matter of great pride not only in Canada but also in India. In Canada the proportion of people of Indian origin is 1.4%. This is quite close to the Punjabis in India at 1.9%. The clout of Sikhs in particular in every area in Canada is often the topic of discussion here. This is more so at this time. It was intesting to note that a prominent Indian journalist Harih Khare wrote a very insightful article in The Tribune as a tribute to Canada on the eve of the current visit by the Canadian Prime Minister. Titled:Welcome Justin Trudeau, Khare quoted former governor general David Johnston ‘ s treatise: The Idea of Canada.

This is a beautiful illustration of Canadian values. Khare also quoted extensively from Justin Trudeau’s Common Ground: Political Life.

Both of these works highlight Canada’s diversity,multiculturalism and inclusiveness. All of this makes Trudeau’s visit more relevant and meaningful for the people of India.

Incidentally,Canada has become one of the most popular countries in India in general and Punjab in particular. In this context it was only natural that Justin and his delegation have received A very warm welcome everywhere. His visit to Taj Mahal in Agra, Hamandar Sahib in Amritsa and every other place like Ahmedabad, Bombay and New Delhi have been great success. In a sense this has been a memorable milestone in Canada - India relations. On another front, my family and friends had an opportunity to visit Rajasthan for a few days. This visit included spending a few days in the Pink City of Jaipur. It is a beautiful city. The Amber

Fort is just amazing. It is home to the world’s largest cannon. In addition to that it has great artifacts from the past. Built on steep hillside it is a marvel of engineering. Jaipur is also home to the impressive Jantar Mantar, Jal Mahal City Palace and much more. From Jaipur it was on to visit Dhanda Bhagat’s Gurdwara about two hours drive from Jaipur. This is a very spacious Gurdwara in the memory of Dhanna Bhagat whose 600 th anniversary was celebrated with great deal of enthusiasm last year. From there we moved on to Ajmer, home of a sacred Dargah.

After paying our obeisance at the Dargah, we moved on to nearby Pushkar, one of the holiest places for the Hindus. Pushkar is reported to have 326 temples and has the only temple devoted to Lord Brahma.

Also, Pushkar had the honour of visits by Guru Nanak Dev ji and Guru Gobind Singh ji. The Gurdwara here is also very impressive. After spending a few days in Rajsthan it was time to head home. On our way home, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit in Delhi. It was an honour for us to pay our obeisance at the historic Bangla Sahib and Raquab Ganj Gurdwaras. From Delhi we moved on to another historic place called Paunta Sahib in Haryana.

There are a number of Gurdwaras here. Guru Gobind Singh Ji stayed here for more than four years. Here he successfully turned back the attack by a number of hill chieftains at Bhangani. There are a number of Gurdwaras around here dedicated to Guru Gobind Singh ji ‘s stay in this area.After taking a short break my family and friends plan to visit a few more places of interest. The weather so far has been great. It is a welcome change from the cold and snow of Metro Vancouver.

Budget 2018 puts people first, makes life more affordable for British Columbians udget 2018 carves a new path to to reduce fees for an estimated 50,000

B

shared prosperity for everyone in the province with a made-inB.C. child-care plan, a comprehensive housing plan and record levels of capital investment in every corner of the province, Finance Minister Carole James announced today.

“Budgets are not only about the bottom line, they should be about people.

That’s why British Columbians are at the centre of every choice we have made in Budget 2018,” said James.

“These include historic investments in child care and affordable housing that will be felt for generations.”

Over three years, an investment of more than $1 billion will set the province on the path to a universal childcare plan that will make child care affordable for parents and caregivers, create more than 22,000 child-care spaces throughout the province and ensure those spaces meet rigorous quality and safety standards.

Budget 2018 also lays out a comprehensive housing plan that introduces new taxation measures to tackle foreign and domestic speculation, to close loopholes and crack down on tax fraud, and to stabilize housing prices. It invests more than $1.6 billion over three years to build and maintain affordable rental housing, help finance student housing, increase rental assistance for low-income seniors and working families, and provide supportive housing for at-risk British Columbians.

“Budget 2018 balances the needs and priorities of British Columbians with the fiscal prudence that marks B.C. as an economic leader in Canada,” said James. “Our province needs bold action, and Budget 2018 delivers by investing in choices that make life more affordable, improving the services we all count on, and supporting a strong, sustainable economy for all British Columbians.”

Making Life More Affordable Building on the Province’s progress to date, Budget 2018 takes action to make life more affordable by: Introducing a new affordable childcare benefit that will reduce child-care costs by up to $1,250 per month for every child and support 86,000 B.C. families per year by 2020-21.

Providing up to $350 per month directly to licenced child-care providers

families per year by 2020-21.

Curbing speculation in B.C.’s housing market and helping to build 114,000 affordable rental, non-profit, co-op and owner-purchase housing units through partnerships.

Eliminating Medical Services Plan (MSP) premiums by Jan. 1, 2020, saving individuals up to $900 a year, and families up to $1,800 a year.

Making ferries more affordable by freezing fares on all major BC Ferries routes, reducing fares on non-major routes and fully restoring the Monday to Thursday seniors passenger fare discount.

Improving B.C.’s Fair PharmaCare program to eliminate deductibles for families with annual net incomes below $30,000, starting Jan. 1, 2019.

Approximately 240,000 families will receive expanded coverage.

Reinstating free bus passes with the flexibility to support other transportation needs will help over 100,000 people receiving disability assistance to better connect them with their communities and the services they rely on.

Delivering the Services People Count On British Columbians deserve services they can depend on. That’s why Budget 2018 invests in priority services, including: Significant investments in health care, with funding of $548 million over three years to improve care for seniors and $150 million to help connect those who do not have a family doctor with team-based primary care.

Hiring more teachers, bringing the total to over 3,700 new hires around the province to support students and meet the need for qualified teachers in B.C. Making a historic investment of $50 million this fiscal year to support the revitalization and preservation of Indigenous languages in B.C. Dedicating $18 million to services that provide outreach and counselling support for women and children affected by violence.

Improving access to justice through increased funding for legal aid, family law services, and the hiring of more sheriffs and court staff to help reduce court delays.

Building a Strong, Sustainable Economy Budget 2018 invests in a strong, sustainable economy through B.C.’s greatest resource – its people, by: Supporting communities hit the hardest by the 2017 wildfire season and investing in wildfire preparedness to protect people, communities and wildlife.

Increasing funding for B.C.’s agrifood sector to support enhanced Buy BC, Grow BC and Feed BC initiatives to drive consumer demand and get B.C.’s goods to overseas markets.

Confirming the removal of fees for Adult Basic Education and English Language Learning to give people opportunities to grow and succeed.

Partnering with industry, the federal government and First Nations communities to support Indigenous skills training programs with $30 million over three years.

Increasing grants administered through the BC Arts Council and Creative BC,

which support B.C.’s vibrant communities and creative economy.

Expanding B.C.’s tuition waiver program and increasing financial support for former youth in care while they attend post-secondary school or training programs.

Budget 2018 commitments are being funded by improved revenue forecasts over the fiscal plan period, as well as new revenue sources, including: A speculation tax, and increases in the foreign buyers’ tax, to address housing affordability in B.C. by reducing foreign demand, and curbing speculation in the residential property market.

An employer health tax to allow for the full elimination of MSP premiums.

“For too long, British Columbians have not been able to get the services that they need or afford to live in the communities in which they work or grew up in,” James said. “We are taking bold action to change that with Budget 2018 – a budget that works for everyone in B.C.”

Attorney General responds to One million people commit to end media reports of money laundering violence against in real estate women and children

A

ttorney General David Eby has issued the following statement:

“Recent media reports of money laundering through real estate in British Columbia, including today’s Globe and Mail story, are very serious and deeply troubling.

The nature of these allegations, that this money-laundering activity is actively influencing our real estate market and is connected to the sale of life-destroying fentanyl, underlines the critical importance of addressing money laundering urgently and not ignoring it. This story confirms our government’s commitment to taking action to crack down on money laundering and criminal activity in B.C. “Shortly after assuming responsibility for gambling policy in B.C., I hired Peter German to conduct an independent and thorough review of British

Columbia’s anti-money-laundering policies and practices in relation to B.C. casinos. As part of his review, German is to explore what connection, if any, the issue has with other sectors of B.C.’s economy. This may include areas such as real estate or tax policy. The Moose Hide Campaign, now in its eighth year, is a B.C.-born, grassroots “Our government will work to deter- campaign to support men standing mine the scope of this issue, and what up and addressing violence. The must be done to appropriately address campaign is symbolized by the moose it. We will ensure our investigation hide patch, which signals support and into money laundering in B.C. casi- commitment to change. nos is informed by these disturbing revelations.”

“Our government is proud to be part of the Moose Hide Campaign. As men and allies, we need to speak out and be vigilant to make sure our actions and our words do not perpetuate a culture of violence,” said Premier Horgan.

“To know that one million people are standing together to end violence against women and children gives us

hope that change, and a better future for women and girls, is possible.”

B.C. also proclaimed today, Feb. 15, 2018, Moose Hide Campaign Day, underscoring its commitment to take action to improve the lives of all British Columbians.

“It’s not enough to say that violence against women and children is unacceptable — words have to be followed by actions,” said Scott Fraser, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation. “These actions are a shared responsibility, and by standing with grassroots movements like the Moose Hide Campaign, we can help address the many social concerns facing our communities around the province.”

To mark today’s event, men from throughout the province are gathering in Victoria for a day of fasting, ceremony, workshops and healing circles to support each other in finding solutions to end violence.

Regional events are also taking place in Kamloops and Prince George.

One of the highlights of the day is a march from the Victoria Conference Centre to the steps of the B.C. Parliament Buildings for a public sharing of stories and thoughts on how to address violence against women and children. Members of the B.C. legislature gathered on the steps to stand in solidarity with the Moose Hide Campaign Day participants and add their voices to the campaign.

“Indigenous women are three times more likely to suffer domestic abuse than non-Indigenous women. Violence in any form is not acceptable, and it’s an issue we’re determined to address,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General.

“We can’t do it on our own, but by supporting partners like the Moose Hide Campaign, who are working at the community level, I believe that we can change things for the better.”

Members of the B.C. public service and the legislature showed their support by taking part in a ceremonial fast, which is an integral part of the

campaign’s focus. The fast is a show of sacrifice to demonstrate empathy with women who endure violence, and for fasters to demonstrate the strength of their commitment. The extent of an individual’s participation in the fast is related to their personal health needs.

As part of his address on the Parliament Buildings’ steps, Premier Horgan announced $2 million to support the Moose Hide Campaign and emphasize B.C.’s ongoing commitment to end violence against women and children.

“It is our hope and belief that the Moose Hide Campaign is having a real and positive impact in the lives of women and children across Canada, and that it is also resulting in healing and behavior change amongst men and boys,” said Paul Lacerte, cofounder and CEO of the Moose Hide Campaign. “Our hands are raised in gratitude and respect to the Province of B.C., and to each and every person across Canada who has participated in this effort to end violence against women and children. We have reached our goal of one million moose hide squares. Now let us begin the journey towards 10 million.”

Public servants who attend the full-day Moose Hide Campaign Day proceedings are also using the experience as professional development in reconciliation and cross-cultural agility. It is part of government’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the public service.

Since it began in 2011, the Moose Hide Campaign has grown into a Canada-wide movement, and is now recognized annually on Oct. 5 each year by the federal government. In addition to raising awareness through the moose hide patches, the campaign has widened its scope to embrace other anti-violence efforts — such as the Ten Men Challenge, designed to engage young men in conversations about violence, and the Safe Space, Safe Place program, aimed at ending violence against women on university campuses.

 Vicky Kaushal, who has built a muscular physique for a new film, believes physical transformation among actors has become more performance-oriented than for vanity purposes.

In the last few years, Bollywood cine-goers have seen actors placing an emphasis on their physical transformation - whether it is superstar Aamir Khan gaining weight for Dangal or National Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao losing weight for Trapped and then growing a paunch for the web series Bose: Dead/Alive, or even Ranveer Singh bulking up to play Sultan Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat. "I think physical transformation is a part of the performance now for an actor. And I see no

Parineeti is excited to work with Akshay for Kesari Parineeti Chopra, who will be sharing screen space for the first time with Akshay Kumar, says she is excited to work with the superstar in "Kesari". The film, being directed by Anurag Singh, will see Akshay essaying the role of Havildar Ishar Singh, while Parineeti plays his wife. "(I) am very excited to be working with him. In three days I will be leaving for 'Namastey England'. But I am more excited for 'Kesari'. "It has been a dream to work with Akshay for a long time. He is a Punjabi and so am I and we are doing a Punjabi film together. I am very excited to start the shoot," Parineeti said.

Besides this, Parineeti will also be busy shooting for "Namastey England" with Arjun Kapoor. "I have to do it simultaneously as, unfortunately, the dates are planned like that. So I will be shooting in Amritsar (for 'Kesari') and in London (for Namastey England')," she says.

Recently, Akshay's look from the film was released, and talking about her look, Parineeti says, the makers will decide when to unveil it.

"Kesari" is based on the Battle of Saragarhi and the historical drama will see producerdirector Karan Johar and Akshay reuniting after having worked together for "Brothers".

Physical transformation is a part of the performance now for an actor : Vicky Kaushal wrong in that. Gone are those days when a mainstream Bollywood hero will build up a physique only to look good. Perhaps that is why I lost eight kg for my film 'Masaan' and Aamir Khan gained weight for playing an aged father in 'Dangal'. I think that is the good part of these changing times in our cinema, where everything is happening based on the requirement of the story and not just for vanity," Vicky said; The actor has a promising year in store. His first romantic comedy "Love Per Square Foot" released worldwide on Valentine's Day on Netflix. His Meghna Gulzar directorial "Raazi" is ready to release in summer and then he has an Aanand L.

I can bae moody and that can be dangerous in our profession : Arjun Kapoor Arjun Kapoor, whose Namastey England will go on the floors from next week, says he can be moody at times and he is working towards improving himself on that front. Arjun was asked about one good and one bad trait in his personality. He said, "One good thing about me would be that succes s and failure haven't changed me, and one bad thing would be that I can be moody sometimes, which in our profession can be dangerous. But

I am improving on that front." On the work front, Arjun has been quite busy.

"I have just finished Dibakar (Banerjee) sir's film with Yash Raj Films. It's with Parineeti (Chopra) and it is called 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar'. I am doing one more film with Parineeti called 'Namastey England' and it will go on floors from next week."

Knew I wanted to make Blackmail the moment I read the script : Abhinay Deo

Women I play on screen are an extension of me : Vidya Vidya Balan picked powerful women characters even before "female-centric cinema" became mainstream in Bollywood and the actor, who has pioneered a change in the concept of the Hindi film heroine in the last decade, says her choices are often guided by her personal experiences. Vidya has successfully established herself as an actor par excellence with films such as "Parineeta", "Ishqiya", "No One Killed Jessica", "The Dirty Picture", "Kahaani" and "Begum Jaan" among others. But she says the films that are among her personal favourites and have become turning points in her career, are "Kahaani", "The Dirty Picture" and her last release "Tumhari Sulu".

"Every film or role that I have done has had some personal connect. All these women (characters) follow their heart and do exactly what they want to do

and in a way they were all an extension of me," Vidya said. "I am a shy person. There are two sides to me, when the actor side comes out, I am different.

I can do anything for the character but as a person I am quite shy," the actor adds. Vidya, 39, counts her portrayal of Vidya Bagchi in the Sujoy Ghosh-directed movie as one of her finest performances. She says the only brief that Ghosh gave her was that the film would be about a pregnant woman who comes to Kolkata to look for her missing husband. "I found the story interesting and said, 'Let's do it'. It (climax) developed organically and when he narrated it to me, it blew my mind. People who were approached for the film were not told about the (twist) ending.

quirky comedy 'Blackmail.

Abhinay Deo took a long seven-year period to pick up his next comedy directorial after Delhi Belly, as the filmmaker wished to get the right script which would match up to his debut directorial.

Talking about the same, director Abhinay Deo said, "Delhi Belly was an amazing script, and after the massive success of the film, I was looking for a

script, I knew that Blackmail was the film I wanted to make next."

Starring Irrfan Khan in the lead, the teaser of 'Blackmail released on Valentine's day and took the internet by storm. Showcasing a bare-chested Irrfan Khan running around the streets in nothing more than boxer shorts, the teaser intrigued the audience to know the story of a man covering his face with a bra and panty paper bag.With the National award winner Irrfan Khan, comedy seems to have become a favourite genre with TSeries' produced Hindi Medium fetching him this year's Filmfare Award for the Best Actor (Male).

Key Investments in Housing and Childcare - But Business Braces for Tax Hike Yesterday’s provincial budget reflects a social agenda with meaningful investments in both housing attainability and childcare – two areas of deep interest to the BC Chamber network – but it leaves the business community to pick up a $1.92 billion tab on MSP by the fiscal year 2020. The BC Chamber’s 2017-18 Collective Perspective survey flagged “affordability of housing” as the top issue “hurting” businesses in BC. Yesterday's announcements, intended to stabilize the market and curb demand with investments of more than $6 billion over 10 years, are a welcome move.

budget it is of great concern to see that it looks to be balanced on the backs of the business community", said Abbotsford Chamber Executive Director Allan Asaph. "The election promise to phase out MSP is coming at an unexpected cost to business of almost $2 billion by 2020-21 and in 2019 the introduction of the Employer Health Tax means some employers will be paying both MSP and the new tax."

Asaph notes that "There is a growing concern from our members that, as the government looks to expand its social agenda, it does not consider the cumulative impact of these economic considerations on the ability of the business community to remain innovative and competitive in a demanding marketplace."

As is the government's $1 billion investment to create a universal child care plan that will allow more women to return to the workplace. Both initiatives will address another key challenge in BC’s tight labour market: recruiting The Chamber's Government Affairs and retaining staff.

Eat Well, Feel Well – Are You Getting Enough Vitamin B12?

W

e have all had those sudden quick lapses in short term memory – Ever forget where you placed your keys? Went into a room to get an item but the item you were looking for suddenly slipped your mind? What about forgetting where you parked your car? Do these sudden brain fog experiences sound familiar? The frequency of these forgetful symptoms could be your brains way of ‘reminding’ you that you may not be getting enough Vitamin B12 (also known as Cobalamin).

Vitamin B12 (commonly found in foods such as; meat, poultry, fish, eggs, oysters, lamb and liver) plays an essential role in the normal functioning of the brain and the nervous system. It is required to manufacture neurotransmitters (the chemical messengers in the brain) and produce the myelin sheath (the insulating layer found around nerves), which allows electrical impulses to transmit messages quickly and efficiently along nerve cells.

The absorption o f Vi t a min B12 requires intrinsic factor (produced with stomach acid).

Rika Mansingh As we get older our stomach produces less acid and insufficient amounts of intrinsic factor, making us more prone to deficiency. Medication that decreases the secretion of stomach acid such as antacids, antihistamines, proton pump inhibitors and even some diabetes medication such as Metformin can decrease the absorption of Vitamin B12 and increase the risk of deficiency.

Alcohol and other substances are also known to deplete B vitamins including Vitamin B12, contributing to deficiencies, affecting mood and altering the memory centers in the brain, making supplementation with B vitamins essential. Vegetarians or anyone at risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency requires supplementation with sublingual Vitamin B12 or Vitamin B12 shots.

A lack of Vitamin B12 in your diet or poor absorption of the vitamin could cause mental fog, affect your memory and dampen your mood. Depression is actually a common symptom of Vitamin B12 deficiency. The role of Vitamin B12 in mental health is expanding and this valuable vitamin is now known to be vital in maintaining brain Vitamin B12, together with other B mass and preventing brain shrinkage vitamins, such as folic acid, can help often associated with Dementia. keep your homocysteine levels in check.

— such as eating a healthy diet and being physically active. One way to start improving your heart health is to increase your intake of fruit and vegetables.

A 125 mL (1/2 cup) serving of blueberries is all it takes to make up one of the 7 to 10 daily servings of fruits and vegetables (for adults) recommended by the Canadian Food Guide.

The BC Blueberry Council is proud to offer a plethora of heart-healthy recipe ideas on its website. From blueberry smoothie ideas like the popular Blueberry Pineapple Ginger Smoothie to the Blueberry Super Food Salad, blueberries (fresh or frozen) are an excellent pairing for vegetarian fare—even for savoury dishes like the Black Bean Veggie Burger with Blueberries.

With over 80 years of blueberrygrowing experience, the BC Blueberry Council represents over 600 highbush growers. Combined, these growers have more than 11,000 hectares (27,000 acres) of highbush blueberries planted in order to meet growing demand. The BC Blueberry Council has a strong commitment to on-farm food safety and works diligently with blueberry grows, packers and processors to ensure that BC blueberries meet the highest standards for food safety and quality.

Province continues gender equity focus with support for We for She

T

he B.C. gover n me n t is supporting the advancement of women in the workplace and the global economy with its involvement in this year’s We for She conference.

The Province has signed on as one of three organizing partners of the 2018 conference — to be held in Vancouver this fall – joining the Women’s Enterprise Centre and the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

The announcement was made at a Greater Vancouver Board of Tradesponsored event, A Conversation with Michelle Obama.

Now in its fifth year, We for She annually attracts close to 1,000 young women from throughout B.C. to learn about career opportunities, gender equality and mentorship.

“We are proudly contributing $350,000 in support of the 2018 We for She conference to create greater awareness of career possibilities for

women around B.C.,” said Bruce Ralston, Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology. “Your government is working hard to encourage more young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math, which are predominantly occupied by men. We value this event because it introduces young women to successful and inspiring role models, motivating them to follow their lead and helping them become active participants in B.C.’s economy.”

Premier John Horgan set the tone for gender equality in B.C. by appointing 11 women to his 22-member cabinet, and on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018, appointed Esquimalt-Metchosin MLA Mitzi Dean as Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity. “ We a r e t h r i l l e d b y t o d a y ’s announcement by the B.C. government that it has made this substantial funding commitment to We for She 2018,” said conference

Participants in We for She gain a greater understanding of their career options and potential, expand their confidence in what they can achieve, and are provided with the opportunity to meet successful role models. The one-day conference features a number of workshops led by inspiring speakers, leaders of private companies and representatives from women’s business organizations.

ife is busy. Very busy. The chaos of the day is tenfold for mama’s and papa’s who have tiny toddles that depend on them for their every need. As adults, we need schedules in order to manage our demanding days. Our toddlers are no different – next to fundamental needs, structure and routine are at the core of healthy child development.

Here are 3 reasons why routine is important for babies and toddlers.

Sense of Safety and Security – as an adult, imagine living in a world where there is no predictability and you are exposed to new (and sometimes scary) things every day.

The fear of the unknow would take a toll pretty fast. For children, having a routine that they can predict creates a sense of security in their everchanging worlds. Maintaining a routine is particularly important when children are exposed to a major change such as a move to a new house or the introduction to a new baby in the family. These changes can be very stressful for children and the loss of in routine and structure at this time will compromise the child’s ability to adapt- leading to challenging behaviors. Furthermore, the security of having a routine will also help your child adapt to multiple or new caretakers if the routine is maintained by all caretakes.

Reduce the Occurrence of Challenging Behavior – When it comes to children, challenging behavior is often the result of emotion, not a conscious decision. The occurrence of challenging behaviors is significantly reduced when children know what is expected of them and what they can predict from you. You are less likely to get into a power struggle if your child feels respected and a part of the

process rather then simply being told what to do at random times.

Build Healthy Habits for Life – Building healthy routines at a young age has the ability to impact a child’s decisions throughout his life. A good place to start is establishing meal time and bedtime routines. Asides from maintain a child’s physical health, a family mealtime routine will allow the child to feel a sense of belonging a foster the value of family and connectivity. Bedtime routines on the other hand are a great opportunity to build a child’s independence and confidence.

Within a bedtime routine, there are

many opportunities for children to lead the routine – such a picking out his pajamas or bedtime story. The core purpose of these routines is to set the bodies “internal clock� at an appropriate dial and establish good self-care habits.

If your toddler’s world currently lacks mealtime and bedtime routines, not to worry – it’s never too late to start! Below are some tips to help you get started Patience is key. Remember that routines take time to develop and they are particularly trying if your child already has habits that need to be change. Your frustration will only fuel your child’s stress level so maybe start with small steps rather than big leaps Consider the needs of other family members when establishing a new regiment; the purpose here is to support the family as a whole. Schedul-

ing family meal time at 4:00pm, for example, to accommodate your child’s bedtime may not work for all family members.

Establishing a morning routine is a great place to start in order to set a positive tone for the day Routine is going to look different within every family- the key is to pay attention to the details and learn what works best for your child. For example, a bath before bedtime is a great way to wind down the day, however, some children become energized after a bath and will have trouble settling down.

Bedtime can be particularly challenging as some children feel as though they are missing out on what the rest of the family is doing. Try to build something into your routine that your child enjoys and is special.

This could be reading a story, making up a story using lego, singing a favorite song, etc.

Routines don’t have to be tedious and boring. Offering opportunity



PAGE 41

for choices within the routines can help a child look forward to the activity and take ownership of the task. Choices can include choosing a snack, choosing an activity during playtime, choosing clothing, etc.

Last but not least, the key to good structure is flexibility. Without room for flexibility, your child may have trouble adapting when there are exceptions (bedtime at a special event for example). Creating spontaneous moments (even if they are pre-planned by you) every so often will allow your child an opportunity to practice flexibility. As a bonus, the “spontaneous activity” will be more fun for the child if they are use to a routine as they will see it as a treat rather then just another part of their day.

No quick fix: B.C.’s Attorney General says money laundering problem will take years to solve investigation alleges the money repaid in China was often used to buy more fentanyl.

Speaking with Mike Smyth on CKNW’s The Simi Sara Show, Attorney General David Eby called the revelations “disturbing,” and said they tie into the investigation already underway regarding money laundering in B.C. casinos.

B.C.’s Attorney General is promising a widespread crackdown in the wake of shocking allegations of money laundering in B.C. real estate linked to the fentanyl trade.

“[There are] really obvious connections in the allegations [the Globe is] bringing forward and the allegations we’ve been examining at the casinos. Similar names, similar kinds of techniques,” Eby said.

The allegations detailed in a report by the Globe and Mail laid out a scheme by which drug dealers would loan dirty money to Chinese immigrants, who put up Vancouver properties as collateral.

“I feel like we pull on a string here and it’s connected in so many other places you end up following it out to a whole sweater.”

The dealers would then be repaid either in China, or through the sale of their Vancouver properties. The Globe

Eby said the government money laundering review, headed by former highranking Mountie Peter German, has been asked to explore links with the real estate industry.

Number of newly-listed homes down in B.C. real estate markets Canadian home sales fell 14.5 per cent between December and January, marking the lowest sales level in three years as the housing market was hit last month by a double whammy of tighter mortgage rules and lending rate hikes.

Data released by the Canadian Real Estate Association Thursday suggested that January activity was down in three-quarters of all local markets and virtually all major urban areas, especially in Ontario's hot spot in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The decline was less significant on an annual basis, with sales falling 2.4 per cent.

Sales climbed to a record monthly high in December, according to CREA's figures, ahead of the stress test that requires all potential buyers qualifying for a mortgage to show that they can manage interest rate increases.

“The decline in January sales provides clear evidence that the strength in activity late last year reflected a pullforward of transactions, as rational homebuyers hurried to purchase before mortgage rules changed in 2018,” said Gregory Klump, the association's chief economist.

The federal banking regulator introduced tougher rules for uninsured mortgages beginning Jan. 1 and require a stress test for borrowers with a more than 20 per cent down payment. They now have to prove that they can service mortgage at a qualifying rate of the greater of the contractual mortgage rate plus two percentage point or the five-year benchmark rate published by the Bank of Canada.

The January market also dampened due to the Bank of Canada's decision to raise interest rates to 1.25 per cent, up from one per cent. It was the bank's third increase since last summer, following hikes in July and September.

The central bank's interest rate increase impacts variable rate mortgage holders, but those who opt for fixed mortgages also saw a rise in the five-year fixed rate amid rising bond yields and a stronger economy.

CREA noted that January home sales are on par with the 10-year monthly average and that a large decline in new listings prevented the market balance from shifting in favour of homebuyers.

The average price of a home rose by 2.3

per cent when compared with last year at just over $481,500.

Vancouver Island and the Okanagan region, as well as parts of Ontario.

The national sales-to-new listings ratio was 63.6 per cent in January. A ratio reading above 60 per cent generally indicates a sellers' market.

“The piling on of yet more mortgage rule changes that took effect starting New Year's Day has created homebuyer uncertainty and confusion,” said CREA President Andrew Peck in a statement.

The number of newly-listed homes plunged 21.6 per cent from December 2017 to January 2018 - the lowest level since spring 2009. About 85 per cent of all markets had fewer listings. The Greater Toronto Area led the decline, with large percentage drops also in British Columbia's Lower Mainland,

“At the same time, the changes do nothing to address government concerns about home prices that stem from an ongoing supply shortage in major markets like Vancouver and Toronto.

Unless these supply shortages are addressed, concerns will persist.”
