#Fraser and 43rd

[vancouvertrueborns]

There are a lot of great, old photos of Vancouver students, but few can beat W.J. Moore’s 1921 rendering of John Oliver’s enrollment. Moore was a commercial photographer who roamed the city with his fancy Kodak No. 8 Cirkut camera that allowed him to produce panoramic photos up to eight feet wide. When South Van High moved from 49th and Knight to Fraser and 43rd, the opening of the new building demanded a special group pic to commemorate the event and the name change. Moore used his expensive, wind-up, spring-powered camera to capture all the students and staff. The Kodak Cirkut was tricky to operate. The camera rotated atop the tripod, scanning up to 360 degrees. Subjects had to remain perfectly still while the lens was on them, but once it swept past, a prankster could run to the other side of the frame and appear twice in the same pic! Apparently, there were no jokers among these Jokers on this day, probably because their no-nonsense principal, Jake Palmer, was seated front and centre with his arms crossed – and eyes in the back of his head.

The man accused of driving into festival goers in Vancouver over the weekend killing 11 people had a history of mental health issues after his brother’s murder last year, police have said.

Police identified the suspect as Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, and charged him with eight counts of second-degree murder after a black Audi Q7 SUV was driven into a Filipino heritage festival at around 8pm on Saturday night. The “mass casualty event” at the Lapu Lapu festival near East 43rd Avenue and Fraser Street also injured more than 20 people.

Lo was apprehended by bystanders at the scene, who detained him until police arrived and arrested him. “The charge assessment is ongoing and further charges are anticipated,” the police said.

Online footage showed a young man in a black hoodie with his back against a chain-link fence surrounded by bystanders screaming and swearing at him.

“I'm sorry,” the young man, appearing visibly distressed and holding his hand to his head, could be heard saying.

Interim police chief Steve Rai said the person in custody was a lone male who was “known to police in certain circumstances” but it would be “unfair” to make comments on whether he was on bail.

He had “a significant history of interactions with police and healthcare professionals related to mental health”.

“It is hard to make sense of something so senseless," the interim police chief said, “and I know there are questions about whether this tragedy could have been prevented.”

Mayor Ken Sim also said Lo had a long history of interactions related to mental health with first responders.

Lo did not have previous criminal charges against him, but a troubled family history. His brother was murdered last year, and Lo condemned the “senseless act of violence” when he launched a GoFundMe donation campaign.

His brother was found dead on 28 January 2024 in a home 2km from where the family lived, the Globe and Mail reported. A suspect in the case, Dwight William Kematch, 39, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

A few months later, in August, he reportedly again asked for donations, this time for his mother who had attempted suicide and needed hospitalization for a month.

A relative of Lo had contacted a local hospital’s psychiatric ward barely hours before the attack because of his worsening mental health, Vancouver Sun reported.

The incident occurred less than 48 hours before Canada’s federal election on Monday. Police said there was no suggestion at the moment of a connection between the incident and the election.

In the wake of the incident, prime minister Mark Carney canceled a campaign event and two major rallies.

"Last night families lost a sister, a brother, a mother, father, son or a daughter,” the Liberal Party leader said. “Those families are living every family's nightmare," Carney said. "And to them and to the many others who were injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in Vancouver, I would like to offer my deepest condolences."

Festivalgoers described how they leapt out of the car’s way to save their and their loved ones’ lives.

Carayn Nulada said she pulled her granddaughter and grandson off the street and used her body to shield them from the car. She said her daughter had a narrow escape. "The car hit her arm and she fell down but she got up, looking for us, because she is scared," Ms Nulada told the Associated Press.

She described children screaming and victims lying on the ground and wedged under vehicles. "I saw people running and my daughter was shaking,” she said.

Ms Nulada was in Vancouver General Hospital's emergency room on Sunday morning, trying to find news about her brother, who was run down in the attack and suffered multiple broken bones.

Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos Jr issued a statement expressing sympathy with the victims and their families.

"The Philippine consulate general in Vancouver is working with Canadian authorities to ensure that the incident will be thoroughly investigated, and that the victims and their families are supported and consoled," he said.

Tales From Fraser’s Ridge | 36 Years

Thanks to @jules-fraser for this amazing moodboard and this part of TFFR is dedicated to @eclecticstarlightconnoisseur on her 43rd wedding anniversary! 

Masterlist here

Part 17: 36 Years | Jamie & Claire 

“Ye are Blood of my Blood, and Bone of my Bone, I give ye my Body, that we Two might be One. I give ye my Spirit, 'til our Life shall be Done.” 

                                                        - Outlander

I woke up on the morning of my thirty-sixth wedding anniversary like I did on any normal day. With my husband’s arms wrapped possessively around me, holding me to his body, and his large hand clasped to my breast. As soon as I began to stir, I felt Jamie wake, his breathing changed and then I felt a small kiss at the back of my neck.

“Morning, Sassenach,” Jamie said with a deep husky voice, not well used from sleep.

“Good morning, my love,” I managed to turn in his arms to face him, kissing him thoroughly on the mouth.

“I’ve a plan for ye today,” he said quietly, eyes still full of sleep, “I’m goin’ to take ye somewhere and keep ye there wi’ me all day, I plan on bein’ very selfish.” He smiled and kissed my lips, and I savoured the feel of his stubble on my skin.

“Just where are you taking me?” I cooed, pressing my thumb against his cheek.

“’Tis a surprise, Sassenach.” Jamie pressed me to him and I felt his arousal and I hoped he would act on it but then he pulled back the covers and instead of climbing on top of me, he got out of bed.

I must have huffed and made a disappointed face because he turned back and kissed me.

“That can wait, Sassenach, at least til we get where we’re goin’,” he smacked my thigh, making me jump and I resigned to follow his lead and get out of bed, dressing as quickly as I could.

Jamie quietly led us through the forrest and up a ways until we approached a familiar looking granite ledge. The same ledge we had first come to as we discovered that this place, the ridge would be our home. I remembered that day, almost twelve years ago now. Jamie was full of dreams as he looked out at the land, his farmer’s eye seeing what I could not — houses, crops and stock pens.

“Monsieur Freseliere,” I said as Jamie walked into the opening where sprigs of wild strawberries were growing.

“Aye, Madame Freseliere, ye remember.” He smiled and offered his hand for me to take. We hadn’t returned to this place since that day. It was so near to where we lived, close enough to walk to at any moment. So much had happened in the years since I had come back through the stones but the one constant in all of it was Jamie.

Jamie held me to him, his fingers creating a steady pattern against my back, “We lay here, no’ knowing what was to come. The strawberries, they were a sign that this was our home.”

“A very good sign, despite all the trouble that may have come our way…” I kissed his cheek, “this will always be our home, Jamie.”

“Come, Sassenach, lie wi’ me for a bit under the sky, I want to hold my wife.” He settled against a tall sycamore tree, the very one we had made love by before and I lay down beside him, his arms cradling me.

“Would you do it all over again, Jamie?” I asked, letting my fingers press against the rough skin of his chest.

“Aye, if ye mean marry ye again, Sassenach. I would,” he kissed my forehead and gave a sigh of contentment, “I would marry ye over and over again. I choose ye, always.”

“And I choose you, Jamie.” I kissed him, “Then let amorous kisses dwell on our lips, begin and tell…” I said and Jamie finished with, “A thousand and hundred score, a hundred, and a thousand more.”

We lay, holding one another for what could have been hours or merely minutes. There would never be enough time however, and the twenty years we spent apart only made me more aware of the time passing by.

Jamie spoke and it vibrated in his chest and against my ear, “Ye remember when ye asked me if it bothered me that ye werena a virgin?”

“Yes and you said no,” I smiled up at him, remembering how that same night, the night before our wedding, I got smashingly drunk.

“What did ye really think when I told ye… that I was one?”

I cupped his cheek, kissing the stubble on his jaw, “Well,” I said softly, “It did surprise me. Someone like you, so handsome and kind,” I kissed his lips gently and pulled back to look into his eyes, “that you wouldn’t have had your fair share of women was shocking, honestly.”

“Shocking?” He grinned, his arm stroking my arm slowly, “Hmm, well I’m glad my first time was wi’ ye, Sassenach.” Jamie laughed, “Ye showed me the proper way of doin’ it and for that I’ll be forever grateful.” He kissed me then, slow and lingering, there was not a moment in my life that I didn’t want to be next to him, hold him and kiss him.

“You did seem to enjoy yourself that night,” I smiled, placing a kiss against his neck.

“Sassenach, if I recall correctly, ye did too,” he chuckled, his hand smoothing over my head and resting on my back. “But ye maybe didna want to admit it that night, just how much.” He pinched my arse and I jumped, my body pushing against his.

“Jamie!” I laughed as I sat up to move and straddle his hips. “But you’re right… I didn’t want to admit how much I loved it — being with you.” He held my gaze, his eyes turned from a pale sky blue to a dark ocean blue in seconds.

“I knew from the way I made ye moan, Sassenach.” Jamie moved his mouth to my neck and kissed me and I shivered from the warmth of his tongue, “how much ye liked it. How much ye like it now.” His hands were on a path up my body, sliding over every curve as they reached their destination at my shoulders and began to pull at my dress. Thankfully I had worn a loose fitting dress with no stomacher, so it would be easy for him.

“Christ, Claire — ye drive me mad wi’ wantin’ ye, another thirty six years wi’ ye will no’ be enough to dull my need of yer body on mine,” Jamie tugged my dress over my shoulders, my breasts now free of the fabric and his hands quickly covered them.

“Then let’s live forever, Jamie,” I said softly against his mouth and he smiled as my hands lifted off his own shirt and tugged at his kilt. Once the barrier of our clothes was dealt with, Jamie held me tightly to him as he flipped us over and laid me back onto the ground.

In one quick movement, he had my thighs parted and he slid home. I would never get enough of the feel of him inside me, that stirring deep within my belly. With kisses, we showed our love to one another on that ridge covered in strawberries. Jamie held me as my body let loose my desire for him, and he trembled above me.

“Ye are blood of my blood, Sassenach,” Jamie breathed heavily against my chest as he settled his body over mine.

“And bone of my bone, Jamie.” I held him to me, stroking the soft auburn curls between my fingers. In the thirty-six years of my marriage to Jamie, only sixteen of them had been spent with him. He gave me children, only one however, was now here with me, her own fiery red hair an echo of her father’s.

“I love you, Jamie.” He met my mouth with a kiss.

“And I you, Sassenach.”

By Marshall Ferguson, CFL.CA,@TSN_MARSH The NFL draft has come and gone, meaning it is officially time for our most speculative and rumour-filled four days of the year. Draft week! As happens each year, there are talented national players flirting with the chance to make an NFL roster by starting from the bottom as an undrafted free agent or rookie mini-camp signing. CFL teams will have to evaluate how serious the interest is from both the players chosen and the teams that have given them their NFL opportunities. Depending on the level of interest and perceived ability of a national player to challenge for an NFL roster or practice squad position, they can be deemed a larger risk to being drafted as the drafting team might never get a chance to work with the player. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the names that have drawn NFL interest in the last couple of days and how it might impact their drafting North of the border this Thursday. OTTAWA NATIVE AND OKLAHOMA D-LINEMAN NEVILLE GALLIMORE WAS CHOSEN 82ND OVERALL IN THE NFL DRAFT BY THE DALLAS COWBOYS (PHOTO: TY RUSSELL/SOONERSPORTS.COM) Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore Gallimore was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the 82nd pick in the 2020 NFL Draft after being rumoured to possibly dip into the first round. He is the top-ranked prospect in the final edition of the CFL Scouting Bureau rankings. In 14 games — including playoffs — this past season, the Ottawa native posted 30 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, four sacks and two forced fumbles for the Sooners. He follows in the footsteps of Brent Urban, Christian Covington, David Onyemata and Nathan Shepherd as talented Canadian defensive lineman recently drafted to the NFL. For perspective, those players were drafted in the CFL 43rd (Covington), 35th (Onyemata) and 15th (Urban). The unique situation for Gallimore is his hometown CFL team happens to have a territorial selection at the end of the second round in a year with minimal talent coming from Ottawa natives. I believe due to this Gallimore will go 20th overall with the line of reasoning being that it’s an extra pick anyways and if Gallimore ever comes to the CFL, Ottawa HAS to have his rights. The alternatives are to defer the pick into later rounds or draft a player who doesn’t deserve a second-round grade, neither of which are enticing. Notre Dame REC Chase Claypool The Pittsburgh Steelers took Claypool with the 49th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. In his final season with the Fighting Irish, Claypool was the go-to target in the passing game, hauling in 66 passes for 1,037 yards and 13 touchdowns in 13 games — including the team’s bowl appearance. His combination of size and speed combined with major NCAA production in a big time setting should result in Claypool sliding down the CFL Draft significantly Thursday, but once into the 3rd or fourth round the option to take a flyer on Claypool should be deemed too enticing to pass up for some teams. Alberta OL Carter O’Donnell O’Donnell is the best offensive line product to come from U SPORTS since Super Bowl champion Laurent Duvernay-Tardif was taken by the Kansas City Chiefs before being drafted 19th overall by the Calgary Stampeders. O’Donnell signed with the Colts and received a $25,000 signing bonus, which should give an indication about the bidding war that likely played out for his services. O’Donnell will slide down the draft order but I believe he’s still worth the risk as a late first round or early second round pick. Considering the Colts already have a few established lineman including standout Quenton Nelson and Anthony Castanzo and O’Donnell’s CFL upside is too strong to ignore. MARC-ANTOINE DEQUOY SIGNED WITH THE GREEN BAY PACKERS SHORTLY AFTER THE NFL DRAFT CONCLUDED ON SATURDAY (PHOTO: MONTREAL CARABINS) Marc-Antoine Dequoy Now THIS is a tough one to project. Dequoy could go one of two ways, following in the footsteps of former RSEQ standouts to sign with NFL teams. He could be former Laval DE Mathieu Betts, who went to Chicago and was still taken fourth overall last year by the Edmonton Eskimos, whom he eventually signed with later in the season. Or he could follow former Laval TE Antony Auclair, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and remains on the roster to this day. Ohio QB Nathan Rourke Rourke — at the moment this was written — has NOT been signed by an NFL club. That isn’t to say he won’t be or doesn’t deserve to be, but if he doesn’t sign anywhere this week it could dramatically alter the landscape of the CFL Draft. One of the most accomplished and talented Canadian quarterbacks ever, Rourke could be destined to play his professional football in Canada. Brown DL Michael Hoecht Hoecht was honestly a mystery to me until a couple of months ago, but after watching a couple of his games and a virtual pro day posted online, it’s not hard to see why the defensive lineman out of Brown is highly respected in the CFL Draft and now an NFL employee. Hoecht is all of six-foot-four and 295 pounds but he runs well (he posted a 4.65-second 40-yard dash), has game strength that resonated in his athletic testing (23 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press) and has a thoughtfulness in his approach to the game. Everything he does from snap to whistle has a purpose and there is little wasted energy on irrelevant movement. Expect Hoecht to land somewhere in the teens in the CFL Draft, unless a club finds out he has little or no chance to stick with the Rams. Simon Fraser REC Rysen John At six-foot-seven and 237 pounds, Rysen John reminds me of a slightly lankierBrayden Lenius, who was drafted in the second round by the Riders last year. His ball skills and frame alone were worth an NFL look, but will he stick? I don’t think CFL teams will be as dissuaded on John’s NFL opportunities as they would be with an O’Donnell or Dequoy. The post Ferguson: How NFL opportunities impact the CFL Draft appeared first on American Football International. #CFLDraft #MarcAntoineDequoy #RysenJohn

Bad Diets Versus Smoking .. Which Causes More Deaths ?

Poor weight loss plan is the main threat issue for deaths from lifestyle-related illnesses within the majority of the world, in accordance with new analysis.   About 11 million deaths a 12 months are linked to poor weight loss plan across the globe. What's driving this? As a planet we do not eat sufficient wholesome meals together with whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. At the identical time, we eat too many sugary drinks, an excessive amount of salt and an excessive amount of processed meat. As a part of a new study published in The Lancet, researchers analyzed the diets of individuals in 195 international locations utilizing survey knowledge, in addition to gross sales knowledge and family expenditure knowledge. Then they estimated the impression of poor diets on the danger of loss of life from illnesses together with coronary heart illness, sure cancers and diabetes. (They additionally calculated the number of deaths associated to different threat elements, resembling smoking and drug use, on the international stage.) "This study shows that poor diet is the leading risk factor for deaths in the majority of the countries of the world," says research writer Ashkan Afshin of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation on the University of Washington. Unhealthy diets are "a larger determinant of ill health than either tobacco or high blood pressure," he says. Which international locations do greatest in the case of weight loss plan? Israel, France, Spain and Japan have been among the many international locations with the bottom charges of diet-related illness. The U.S ranked 43rd, and China ranked 140th. It must be famous that there have been knowledge gaps for consumption of key meals in some international locations, so some estimates could possibly be off. "Generally, the countries that have a diet close to the Mediterranean diet, which has higher intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts and healthy oils are the countries where we see the lowest number of deaths," Afshin says. And as we have reported, the Mediterranean sample of consuming is linked to a decreased threat of heart attacks and memory decline. I requested Afshin which rating stunned him and why. "Mexico is interesting," Afshin informed me. The nation ranked 57th on the record. On the one hand, folks in Mexico eat a number of complete grain corn tortillas, he says — and complete grains are useful. But however, "Mexico has one of the highest levels of consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages." It's onerous to say how the advantages of complete grains could affect the dangers of an excessive amount of sugar, however Afshin says it underscores an issue seen in lots of international locations: The general sample of consuming could possibly be improved. Of course, there are obstacles to consuming effectively, together with entry and affordability. As the Trump administration and U.S. lawmakers debate whether or not able-bodied individuals who do not work should be entitled to public food assistance, it is clear that many individuals across the globe battle to afford wholesome meals. And at a time when 800 million folks across the globe do not get sufficient to eat, and 1.9 billion folks weigh an excessive amount of, it is necessary to keep in mind that starvation and weight problems are each types of malnutrition. And the prices are staggering. Consider a latest report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which notes: "Worldwide, malnutrition costs $3.5 trillion yearly, with overweight- and obesity-related noncommunicable illnesses, resembling heart problems and sort 2 diabetes, including $2 trillion." Globally, these findings could function a reminder that in the case of ending starvation and bettering well being, folks do not simply want meals. They want nourishment. If you refill on a weight loss plan of packaged snacks comprised of refined-carbohydrates and sugary sodas, chances are you'll get the energy you want, however these energy will put you on a path towards illness. What would occur if everybody across the globe started to eat a healthy diet, filling three-fourths of their plates with fruits, greens and complete grains? We'd run out. Yep, that is proper. A latest research published in the journal PLOS One by researchers on the University of Guelph discovered that there wouldn't be sufficient fruit and greens to go round. "We simply can't all adopt a healthy diet under the current global agriculture system," says research co-author Evan Fraser, director of the Arrell Food Institute on the University of Guelph. Fraser says we produce an excessive amount of fats, an excessive amount of sugar and too many starchy merchandise. So, meals corporations and farmers play a job, too. "At a global level, we have a mismatch between what we should be eating, and what we're producing," Fraser says. Perhaps that is why the authors of the brand new Lancet research say their findings level to the necessity for coordinated, international efforts. Improving diets will not be straightforward: A spread of initiatives could also be wanted, together with vitamin schooling and elevated entry to wholesome meals, in addition to rethinking agricultural manufacturing.

Check out the giant, wind-directed attic vents atop South Vancouver’s first, purpose-built high school – John Oliver. It is a wonder that the roof didn’t take flight during a gale. The vents shown in this 1927 photo must have been an experiment. They are not visible in a 1921 pic that showed the structure when new, nor can they be seen in the 1959 aerial image, taken weeks before the building burned down.

John Oliver began in 1912 as South Van High, co-opting some classrooms at Lord Selkirk Elementary (Commercial and 22nd.)  The following year, the teens moved to a newly built elementary school at Knight and 49th. They ran Gordon School (later named Sir Sanford Fleming) exclusively as a high school under the South Van banner, until their new digs were ready for them at 41st and Fraser.

The 1927 image shows how J.O. grew as enrollment increased. Auxiliary buildings sprang up around it. A long-since-demolished cafeteria is on the left, and the two-storey Unit B (aka, The Barn) and the C-Building (aka, the Drama Studio) are on the right.

J.O.’s student population skyrocketed through the 1930s, 40s and 50s. (There were no other secondary schools in that corner of the city!) The campus expanded to keep pace and by 1956 John Oliver had 3,300 students, making it Canada’s largest high school.

The 1959 aerial photo shows how the original building backed onto 43rd Avenue. The modernist structure along 41st Avenue became the school's main building once completed in the 1950s. South Hill Elementary is visible on Fraser Street in the lower right, and that building was commandeered by J.O. in 1930 for much needed classroom space.  Note the strip of commercial buildings on Fraser that stretches north of 43rd. Those buildings were demolished in the 1960s to give J.O. more playing field space. Similarly, on the left side of the image, houses can be seen where today there are tennis courts, an automotive shop and staff parking.

J.O.’s 1921 building was destroyed by fire on December 9, 1959. A large grass playing field took its place.

The Swedish advantage in civil process

Excellent interview with Dan Klein, a George Mason economist bound by family and professional ties to Sweden, where his wife and daughter live. Among other things, confirms what I’ve been saying for years about comparative litigation climates:

Klein: Sweden does pretty well in the economic freedom ranking, currently 43rd of 162 in the Fraser ranking and 19th of 169 in the Heritage ranking. Incidentally, a significant advantage of Sweden over the US is civil law and litigation. The US system is terrible, as it does not have loser-pays and generally makes for shakedowns and extortion. Like most countries Sweden has loser-pays and no exorbitant and capricious damages. I believe that the freedom indexes do not pick up this advantage to Sweden, but I’m not sure. I’ll bet that per capita the US has ten times as much litigation and ten times as many lawyers as Sweden does. A sane court system shows up in ordinary life in Sweden, where trust and flexibility make possible things you don’t see in the US from fear of legal shakedown.

He goes on to recount a tale of emergency medicine that would very likely have gone differently in the United States. [Anders Ydstedt, interviewer, Svensk Tidskrift]

‘We’re hemmed in’: Canada falls out of top 10 with energy executives, survey finds

Petroleum industry executives and consultants increasingly view Canada as a less attractive place to invest in oil and gas projects, especially in comparison to the U.S., according to a survey conducted by the Fraser Institute.

It marked the first year in which none of the top 10 jurisdictions, as viewed by industry insiders, were located in Canada. Nine out of 10 were located in the U.S. with Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas leading the way.

“The takeaway for Canada is we’re becoming increasingly less attractive to invest in than our neighbours, practically across the street,” said Ken Green, a co-author of the survey and resident scholar and research chair in energy at the Fraser Institute.

Within Canada, only Alberta is considered a “large reserve” holder as it has the third largest oil and gas basin in the world. Among large reserve holders, however, it ranked third in terms of its perception as a place to invest, behind Texas and Russia — but still ahead of eight other countries including Venezuela, Iraq and Nigeria.

Alberta will buy rail cars to move 120,000 barrels a day of stuck crude, Notley says

Gwyn Morgan: Albertans must stop this oil giveaway immediately. Here’s how they can

Canada’s oil output is growing despite pipeline bottlenecks and record low prices

The Fraser Institute’s 2018 Global Petroleum Survey polled 256 energy industry insiders, more than 50 per cent of whom said they were a manager or higher up, and looked at 160 jurisdictions including all province and territory in Canada, except Nunavut and Prince Edward Island.

Participants answered questions about regulatory enforcement, trade barriers and other areas and their answers, were then averaged into a “Policy Perception Index.”

As the survey is multiple choice and does not offer causal reasons for why any jurisdictions ranking dropped or rose, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions about declining scores.

Still, Green highlighted issues which he believes contributed to a declining view of Alberta as a place to invest, given that its ranking dropped to 43rd overall from 33rd last year.

“The concerns expressed by people are regulatory,” said Green. “It tends to be they’re concerned about the time it takes to weave through the regulatory forest.”

That said, not all the data was so clear: British Columbia and Nova Scotia both improved their overall scores; but the others saw their scores decline by margins large and small.

While Alberta dropped 10 rankings in one year, it had been ranked among the top 20 jurisdictions between 2012 and 2014. The report singled out higher personal and corporate income taxes, as among the reasons for its fall.

Green also mentioned the carbon tax as a possible reason but said the big problem today in Alberta is the lack of a way to move the oil out of the province.

“That is the dominant issue of the day,” he said. “We’re congested. We’re hemmed in, and virtually everything we have is a drainage system right into the U.S.”

Because there is a glut of oil in the U.S., it doesn’t command a fair price, he said.

On questions about fiscal terms, which includes licenses, royalty payments and gross revenue charges, roughly 30 per cent said this was only a mild deterrent to investment, 20 per cent said it was a strong deterrent and around 5 per cent said it was a reason not to invest in Alberta.

The remaining 45 per cent of the participants said it was not a factor or an encouragement to invest.

Interestingly, few participants viewed trade barriers as a deterrent to investment in Alberta, with around 15 per cent calling it a mild deterrent and around 10 per cent calling it a strong deterrent while the rest were either neutral or viewed it as an encouragement to investment.

Besides Alberta, only Newfoundland & Labrador and Saskatchewan and British Columbia have any significant oil production.

In Newfoundland & Labrador, around 10 per cent of those surveyed said the availability of skilled labor, or lack thereof, was a mild deterrent to investment, but the other 90 percent did not.

“Foremost, the takeaway from this report is it’s the first year in which Canada has not had a jurisdiction in the top ten,” said Green.

Fauji Banta Singh and Other Stories may be the first collection of short fiction to be set primarily in South Vancouver. This title is an appropriate pick for VPL’s Literary Landmarks and an eye opener for those with a sanitized view of Indo-Canadian life.

The book’s author, Sadhu Binning, immigrated to Canada in 1967. He worked for more than a decade at the Canada Post office near Fraser & 43rd. Many of his stories and poems were conceived while working there.
