Suspended bus service sparks concern across Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island Connector will not be resuming service this month

News that the Island's ground transportation service—the Vancouver Island Connector—will not be resuming service this month has left a void in remote Vancouver Island communities.
On a service update posted to its website, Wilson's Transportation said the Connector, along with the Tofino Bus, will remain suspended until further notice.
"Due to COVID-19, work and travel restrictions, revenue on these routes has been down 95 per cent since March 2020. While the Tofino Bus intercity bus service provides the same essential service as public transit, as a privately-owned company without any government subsidies, it depends on ticket sales to cover all costs."

The company noted it has asked for a one-year emergency COVID-19 recovery contract from the Ministry of Transportation to cover operation costs for the Tofino Bus and allow it to resume the service, but it has not yet been successful.
After hearing the news, Port Alberni resident and former City of Port Alberni councillor Chris Alemany sent a letter to the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) board, encouraging the district to take a leading role in connecting Port Alberni and the West Coast with the rest of the Island with regular bus service.
"If COVID relief funding can go toward this initiative I think it would be a very appropriate use of it to get it off the ground quickly," he noted in his letter. "This is not something that can wait for months and years of planning and consultation. In the long term I see it as an economic driver for tourism as well as the social and economic well-being of our population in general."
During a board meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 10, the ACRD board agreed to invite Wilson's Transportation to a future board meeting to discuss the future of bus service in the regional district.
In a later interview, Alemany said the problem has been a long time coming.
"Privatized bus services have been diminishing for a really long time—decades, really," he said. "The pandemic has exacerbated their issues."
Although COVID-19 has reduced the number of people taking the bus, said Alemany, the service still has customers.
"People need to get around," he said. "They need to be able to get to their health appointments, to see their family. Even with COVID, people still need to go shopping. Unfortunately, it's really difficult to get around Vancouver Island without a car."
Alemany has been using the Regional District of Nanaimo's bus service for the past 10-15 years to commute to and from work. However, there is still no public bus service connecting Port Alberni to the east coast of the Island.

"I see many people hitchhiking on Highway 4," he said. "There are people who hitchhike everyday. That's not safe, and it's not equitable."
Dr. Judith Sayers, Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council (NTC) president, says that that suspension of the bus service is "concerning" for Nuu-chah-nulth people.
"It's an essential service," she said. "It's critical to get our communities from place to place. We worry about people's ability to get around. We worry about the safety of our women on the roads, because a lot of them hitchhike."
The news comes at the same time as a few groups on Vancouver Island are hanging red dresses at prominent locations to raise awareness about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Sayers noted that the Vancouver Island Connector serves 21 First Nations communities on the Island. The NTC provides support and services for 14 nations, with about 10,000 members.
"One of our biggest concerns is if the bus service goes down, will there be anyone to step in to provide that service again?" Sayers wondered. "People aren't taking the bus right now because of COVID, but that's not going to be forever."
Alemany does not believe this is the end of the Vancouver Island Connector, but he says there is still a need for public transit to connect remote communities across the Island.
"I think there's a tourism market for [the Vancouver Island Connector]," he said. "I don't think it's been viable as public transit."
The Vancouver Island Connector has been in operation since 2015 providing daily scheduled services to Vancouver Island communities from Victoria to Campbell River. In addition to the Tofino Bus, it also provided ground shipping to Vancouver and across the Island.
Wilson's Transportation said it will continue to work with the provincial government to restore the service, but is asking communities—particularly those which are served by the Tofino Bus—to contact their MLA about the loss of service.

Peruvian prosecutor aims to put American Lori Berenson back in prison for aiding rebels
LIMA, Peru – LIMA, Peru (AP) — A Peruvian prosecutor said Friday he will ask a court to revoke the parole of American activist Lori Berenson and send her back to prison to finish her 20-year sentence for aiding leftist rebels.
Julio Galindo, the government's lead anti-terrorism prosecutor, said he would tell the national criminal appeals court Monday that the 40-year-old New Yorker still poses a threat to society and that there are doubts about whether she has cut all links to the leftist rebel group Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.
Berenson was granted parole on 27, and wrote in a letter to Peru's pardons commission that she wants to go home to the United States. She said that both she and her 1-year-old son need medical treatment.
Galindo argued she was wrongly granted parole and should be returned to prison for the remaining five years of her sentence.
"I don't think anyone can guarantee that someone convicted of terrorism isn't going to re-enter this world of terrorism," Galindo said at a news conference.
He argued the decision to grant parole was riddled with errors.
Berenson was initially accused of being a leader of the Tupac Amaru, a group that bombed banks and kidnapped and killed civilians, though it was nowhere near as violent as the better-known Shining Path insurgency.
When she was arrested in November 1995 with the wife of the group's leader, prosecutors said Berenson was helping plot a takeover of Peru's Congress. The alleged plot was thwarted in a gunbattle at a rebel hideout that Berenson was convicted of having rented.
Berenson was convicted of treason by a military court in 1996 and sentenced to life in prison. But after an intense campaign by her parents and pressure from the U.S. government, she was retried in a civilian court. In 2001, it convicted her of the lesser crime of terrorist collaboration and sentenced her to 20 years.
Berenson apologized in her letter to Peru's pardons commission at the time of her release, saying "I assume my penal responsibility for the crime of terrorist collaboration." In the letter, she asked the government panel to commute her sentence.
Under the terms of her parole, she is required to remain in Peru until the sentence ends in November 2015 — unless President Alan Garcia decides to commute the sentence.
Peruvians widely disapproved of Berenson's release.
If the court decided to revoke parole, Berenson would be required to return to prison together with her 1-year-old son, Salvador. The court will have up to 15 days to announce a decision, and is not expected to issue a ruling Monday.
Her lawyer and husband, Anibal Apari, dismissed the prosecutor's arguments.
"From a legal point of view, there is no reason to revoke her parole," Apari said.
Berenson, who has kept a low profile since she was freed, is expected to speak during Monday's hearing in the court to make her case for upholding her parole.


The Media Today
Is Trump losing his grip on the narrative?
a Follow
Donald Trump is a master of the media narrative. Sending the press scrambling after an outrageous tweet, lie, or policy has been a hallmark of his political style. By flooding the zone, he has managed to muffle damaging press and exhaust journalists and readers. And his base, fed by a relentless cycle of boosterish right-wing media commentary, has largely stayed on side.
It's interesting, then, that the latest news cycle—involving the Russia probe, high staff turnover, sparring with Congress, fevered immigration rhetoric, and foreign policy convulsions—feels less responsive to Trump's touch. Last week, The Atlantic's Elaina Plott noted, the president's Apprentice-style search for a new chief-of-staff successfully deflected some media attention from encircling investigators. But as the story dragged on with no appointment in sight, the narrative became that no one really wanted to work for him—especially when, last Friday, Chris Christie publicly snubbed Trump. And the Mueller/Russia/Cohen story, which never really went away, was back with a kick over the weekend: major news organizations reported that almost every aspect of Trump's pre- and post-election life is under official scrutiny.
ICYMI: A journalist exposes the systemic failures that led to his wife's death
This week, as headlines turned to the impending shutdown of the federal government, even Trump's most reliable media backers revolted. Many in the right-wing press argued that a budget deal without funding for Trump's long-promised border wall would be unacceptable. Standing in for Sean Hannity (who, just when Trump needed him most, was absent) on Fox Wednesday, Dan Bongino told the president that his base demands a wall. Yesterday morning, Fox & Friends, usually a hub of sycophancy, lit into Trump, too. Elsewhere, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Drudge were equally unsparing. Trump, watching in the White House, "seethed and panicked about the stream of invective he's hearing from allies on television," according to Politico's Eliana Johnson and Burgess Everett. Finally, he did a U-turn, signaling that he wouldn't sign the package he'd settled on with Congress after all. "This is government by infotainment," The Philadelphia Inquirer's Will Bunch tweeted.
In the middle of the domestic chaos, Trump announced on Wednesday, to wide surprise and alarm, that the United States would be withdrawing its troops from Syria, having "defeated ISIS." A partial drawdown will also take place in Afghanistan. It looked like a signature Trump gambit to shift media attention. He succeeded in turning heads, but soon this story, too, got away from him. The Times reported that no Pentagon official would publicly support the approach, leaving Trump by himself in a video message. Yesterday, Defense Secretary James Mattis announced that he would resign, making clear in his letter to Trump that the choice to do so was over philosophical differences with the president's worldview. This marked "the first resignation of a Cabinet official in the Trump administration over a matter of principle that exploded into public view," the Post reported. The letter dominated coverage, as did the sense that the last grown-up in the room was on the way out. "James Mattis just cut the world's safety net," CNN's Stephen Collinson wrote.
This morning, the word "chaos" is splashed across the mediasphere. There's nothing new about that, on its face. But it's hard to remember a week when Trump looked so embattled on so many different fronts—including among the outlets that tend to support him. Put together, the latest developments, and the way the media has covered them, portray a president who's finally losing his grip on the narrative.

Below, more on chaos:
"Going wobbly": Politico's Jason Schwartz has a good rundown of the right-wing media reaction to Trump's border compromise. "It was a remarkable turn of events for conservative media, which has by and large excused nearly every bit of trouble that's cropped up around Trump since he took office," Schwartz writes.
Media Mattis: Coverage has almost universally cast Mattis as a welcome restraining influence on Trump's worst foreign-policy instincts. That's understandable, but Mattis is a complicated character with foibles of his own. This 2017 New Yorker profile by Dexter Filkins remains instructive.
That was this week? Part I: On Tuesday, Trump's charitable foundation agreed to dissolve after New York's attorney general accused it of "a shocking pattern of illegality." In a different week, that may have got much more attention. Then again, maybe not.
That was this week? Part II: Also on Tuesday, the Senate passed a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill after intense lobbying by the White House. CNN's Brian Stelter tracks the helpful role Fox played in the process, including a rare official statement of support aimed at wavering GOP lawmakers.
Other notable stories:
Yesterday, after Der Spiegel outed Claas Relotius, its star reporter, as a fabulist, its editors apologized, including to their media colleagues: "We are aware that the Relotius case makes the fight against fake news that much more difficult. For everyone," they write. In a widely shared Medium post, Michele Anderson and Jake Krohn dismantle the astonishing lies Relotius told about their hometown of Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
For CJR and the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, Pete Brown updates a 2017 study of how news organizations use push notifications. "While the basic form and appearance of push notifications may not have evolved dramatically in the intervening 12 months, it's the strategic thinking around newsroom usage that has," he writes. As one Times staffer told Brown, "Push is its own platform. It deserves to have all of the intention and critical thinking that the front page does, that the home page does."
James Wolfe, the former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer who lied to the FBI about his contacts with reporters, was sentenced to two months in prison yesterday, BuzzFeed's Zoe Tillman reports. Wolfe had been in a romantic relationship with Ali Watkins, an intelligence reporter for HuffPost, BuzzFeed, Politico, and, most recently, the Times, which reassigned her after the Wolfe controversy came to light this summer.
Last year, two rival morning shows, NBC's Today and CBS's This Morning, lost star male anchors to #MeToo scandals. Since then, the AP's David Bauder reports, Today's ratings have held up better without Matt Lauer than This Morning's have without Charlie Rose. "Today is hardly problem-free—remember Megyn Kelly?—but it has the steadiest audience of all three network morning shows," Bauder writes. "The elevation of Hoda Kotb into Lauer's role is widely perceived as a winner."
For CJR, Umer Ali writes that austerity measures in Pakistan have hit the media hard as the government fails to fulfill its advertising obligations—part of a worrying climate for the country's press. "The cut-off was seen as part of a broad effort by Imran Khan, the cricketer turned politician who was elected prime minister in August, to slash government expenditures," Ali writes. "Yet many journalists and free-press activists believe the motivation was more sinister. In their view, the government has attempted to financially squeeze dissenting voices among the news media."
The UK's governing Conservative Party opted not to discipline Boris Johnson after he used his weekly column in The Daily Telegraph (which earns him nearly $350,000 a year) to compare burka-wearing Muslim women to "letterboxes" and "bank robbers." Separately, researchers Erik Bleich and A. Maurits van der Veen write in the Post that US newspaper portrayals of Muslims are disproportionately negative, even when the articles don't mention terrorism or extremism.

Tom Wolf Hopes to Bring Diverse Experiences to Governor's Office
Published January 7, 2014 at 4:50 PM EST
Mark Nootbaar/90.5 WESA
Nicknamed "the compassionate businessman," Tom Wolf is one of eight people looking to become the Democratic gubernatorial nominee.
He plans to spend $10 million dollars of his own money to achieve that goal. While he has never held elected office, the York County businessman is the former secretary of revenue under Governor Ed Rendell. He talks about why his diversity of experiences make him suited to be the next Governor.
"I think [people are] looking for someone who's a little bit different, but who has a record of getting something done...has done them in the right way, and I think that's what I bring to this race."
In 2008, Wolf began a run for governor, and dropped out to step in and rescue a business he had started and sold previously. He says he plans to bring that experience to the Governor's office. He also says he's interested in using state revenue from natural gas to develop more renewable energy plans.
"I agree with the critics that there's no perfect approach to fracking," he says "But we could do it better."

Stellat'en First Nation, Nadleh Whut'en and Ts'il Kaz Koh jointly developed the app for Android users with funding from the Pathways Forward Agreement, an agreement made between the provincial government and the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council to increase economic opportunities for Carrier Sekani First Nations while addressing decision-making, management and revenue sharing of lands and resources, and healing communities through socio-cultural work.
"Your language is your sense of belonging and identity," says Eleanor Nooski, Nadleh Whut'en Language and Culture Coordinator. "Once the children start learning, there's so much pride when the elders see it, and there's a ripple effect in the whole community."
The app is called 'Dakelh nekhunik yats'ulhduk,' which translates to English to mean 'we will speak like our ancestors.' It interfaces users with recorded pronunciations of the words spoken in a regional dialect of Dakelh. Traditional learning through oral history has been easily incorporated into the app.
A previous version of the app was developed strictly for iPhone, but was cost prohibitive for community members who cannot afford Apple products. The new app includes over 900 newly recorded words in a shared dialect between the three nations and is fully owned and copyrighted by the communities.
"Our language was never recorded and never written," says Stellat'en First Nation Language Assistant Dennis Patrick. "It's been a generation that's lost virtually everything, and it's important to know that when we learn this language, we're learning about the land and who we are."
Development of the app began in 2014, when elders and youth stayed in a hotel together to record Dakelh words for things like body parts, animals and phrases. In 2018, the three First Nations began collaboration on building the app for Android.
Collaboration between the three communities was key because the number of fluent speakers in each community varies, with Nadleh Whut'en having such low numbers, developing the app independently would have been very difficult.
Ts'il Kaz Koh Language Program and Culture Coordinator Sherry Tibbetts believes this app is an important part of healing through language and cultural activities. She is happy to be a part of the collaborative approach to teaching language in new ways.
"We live in a time when we have to be creative and innovative in everything we do," says Tibbetts, who credits her close colleague for empowering her to take bold action to help her community. "I've been inspired by Karen Sharp. She taught me that everything you want to do, think beyond the impossible. When opportunity's thrown at you, you take it."
'Dakelh nekhunik yats'ulhduk' is available for download on Android.

CSTC, DFO, Inch Hatchery, and Local First Nations Team Up For Fish Release
(Unceded Territory of Lheidli T'enneh First Nations – July 6, 2021) After over 10 years of low returns for the Early Stuart sockeye salmon run, hope may finally be on the horizon for a resurgence. With the aid of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Inch Creek Hatchery, and the Takla and Tlazt'en First Nations, 60,000 sockeye smolts were released on June 8 in Gluskie Creek to help rebuild the salmon population.
Sockeye smolts released in Gluskie Creek
While the Early Stuart sockeye run has been low for over a decade, the Big Bar landslide in 2019 further endangered the species' migration routes and population. This encouraged the Big Bar Landslide Response Team, a collaboration of DFO, The Province and First Nations, to team up with Inch Creek Hatchery and First Nations Groups from the Spawning grounds to help improve the population. Over 60,000 eggs were taken, fertilized, hatched and raised at the Inch Creek Hatchery in Dewdney, B.C. Once the smolts had reached 10 months of age, Inch Creek Hatchery brought the smolts up to Middle River to release the fish at Gluskie Creek. Representatives from Takla Lake First Nation, Tl'azt'en Nation, CSTC and DFO attended the release.

The hope is that a portion of these 60,000 smolts will return in 3 years as full-sized salmon to breed and help raise the fish population. With easier passage through Big Bar, good ocean conditions and the right environmental conditions during migration, we should see an increase in the fish population for years to come.
Statement From the Tribal Chief in Response to Discovery of 215 Children's Remains at the Site of the Former Kamloops Indian Residential School
If you are in need of counselling support, the IRSS Emergency Crisis line is available 24/7. Call 1-800-721-0066 for support.
Carrier Sekani Tribal Council is devastated to learn that the remains of 215 children were discovered buried on the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School last weekend.
This Thursday, May 27, the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc band confirmed the remains were found with the help of a ground-penetrating radar specialist. Work is still being done on the site to potentially find more remains.
Some of our people spent their childhoods at this school, which closed in 1969, and it is possible our own members are among the unidentified remains found there last weekend. This is a painful reminder of an unspeakable injustice on our people through the Residential School System that aimed to erase us from our land and from history.
These 215 lives ended in childhood were the result of an act of colonial violence and genocide; we will never know who these children would have become to us.
We as Carrier Sekani First Nations must say a prayer for much needed healing and to honour the children who were forcibly separated from their families before having their lives taken from them too soon.
As a community, we will never forget the atrocities done to our people, but we have the strength of many to heal and pray together. We are reminded to also ask for healing for those who still carry the scars of Residential School today.
Our hearts are with the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc band as we spend time this weekend reflecting on this horrifying discovery.
With great sadness,
Mina Holmes,
Tribal Chief, Carrier Sekani Tribal Council
Carrier Sekani First Nations Support Apportionment Decision by Minister Conroy
(Carrier Sekani First Nation Territories – May 21, 2021) –The Carrier Sekani First Nations applaud Minister Katrine Conroy's apportionment decision for the Prince George Timber Supply Area that was announced today. It represents the culmination of a collaborative decision-making process between the Carrier Sekani First Nations and the Minister on the apportionment decision.
Today marks a milestone for all British Columbians as the Minister has apportioned 1,240,233 cubic metres in the Prince George Timber Supply Area to First Nations, which represents nearly 15% of the Allowable Annual Cut. This is the largest percentage of an Annual Allowable Cut that the Minister has apportioned to First Nations in the history British Columbia, representing yet another precedent forged through collaboration between the Carrier Sekani First Nations and the Province.
"Minister Conroy's apportionment decision is a meaningful step towards true and lasting reconciliation," said Carrier Sekani Tribal Council Chief Mina Holmes. "We finally have a say in what happens in our territories through the collaborative decision-making process set out in the precedent-setting Pathway Forward 2.0 Agreement."
The success of this collaborative decision-making process is another step the Carrier Sekani First Nations have taken with the Province towards consent-based decision-making in Carrier Sekani Territories. The first step was taken when the Province recognized Carrier Sekani Aboriginal title and rights in the Collaboration Agreement in 2015.
The Carrier Sekani First Nations look forward to working with the Province and neighbouring local governments in building a new forest economy, creating more value from every tree harvested. Working together we can protect our stewardship values while maintaining vibrant communities.

Carrier Sekani Tribal Council celebrates a successful 38th Annual General Assembly with gratitude
(Unceded territory of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation, Prince George, B.C. – Feb. 10, 2021) — Mussi cho to all the membership who attended the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council's 38th Annual General Assembly online. More than 100 members of the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council member nations attended on Jan. 29, 2021 via Zoom, making this an engaging event and an overall success.
"On behalf of the CSTC Staff and Board of Directors, thank you for taking time to join us, we appreciate that many, if not all communities have pressing priorities and matters to attend. This online format seems to be the new standard of outreach and engagement." – CSTC Tribal Chief Mina Holmes
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the AGA was held online for the first time, allowing members to attend from their homes and communities. This initiative was intended to assist with social distancing and to avoid increasing the risk of infection during this global pandemic.
The eight-hour presentation was a success in large part due to CSTC staff and leadership, community members, sponsors and many contributors who joined us to share their knowledge as speakers.
Several resolutions were passed during the AGA. Because the volume of resolutions was higher than usual, which we are grateful for, and because we were not able to maintain quorum for the full length of time, some resolutions did not make it to the floor to be voted on. CSTC will inform the communities promptly on how this will be resolved and will also release the resolutions that were already voted on. Community engagement and access to information are high priorities for the Tribal Council, so we are working to ensure the remaining resolutions are handled with careful consideration. An AGA Report will be provided to the CSTC Board of Directors including resolutions and action items for the CSTC Tribal Chief and General Manager.
Tribal Chief Mina Holmes and General Manager John Lewis provided great insight into the many developments and accomplishments of CSTC in the last fiscal year, within which the CSTC member nations began to feel the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges, CSTC has continued to work tirelessly to serve the communities through projects funded by the Pathways Agreement 2.0, as well as some new initiatives designed to serve those in need of housing and access to food.
CSTC is also grateful for the contributions of Kym Gouchie, Camille Callison, Regional Chief Terry Teegee, Chief Clarence Louie, the Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Dr. Judith Sayers and Zandra Ross. Each of these contributors added their unique element of depth, inspiration, energy and wisdom to the AGA. Our theme, Resilience Through Unity: since time immemorial, was strengthened by all of their thoughtful words and care.
We thank our many sponsors for making this event possible and enriching it through the generosity of financial and material donations: Capri CMW Insurance Services, MNP Financial, Gowling WLG, Forest Eco System Solutions Ltd., TC Energy, Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, Radloff & Associates, Royal Bank of Canada and Canfor. Because of you, CSTC was able to create an unforgettable experience during our 38th Annual General Assembly.
Finally, CSTC thanks each and every community member who made the time to engage with us through this event. All of the work we do here at CSTC is for the benefit of members and it is our pleasure to report to you and to hear your feedback whenever possible.
Carrier Sekani Tribal Council calls for federal action and condemns acts of violence directed at Mi'
(Unceded territory of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation, Prince George, B.C. – Oct. 19, 2020) — The Carrier Sekani Tribal Council (CSTC) and Tribal Chief Mina Holmes stand in support of the Sipekne'katik Nation's protected right to fish under the Constitution of Canada, and calls on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take definitive action against escalation of destruction and violence against the Mi'kmaq people.
CSTC member nations have witnessed the apathy and inaction of RCMP in response to acts of violence towards the Mi'kmaq people. It is the responsibility of the federal government to immediately ensure Canadian laws that protect treaty rights to earn a living from fishing are enforced.
The escalating events in the Atlantic lobster fishery dispute are further revealing a deeply flawed standard of justice that is fueled by systemic racism.
Immediate action from the highest level of government must be taken as those inciting hatred and fear have instilled and perpetuated an environment of lawlessness and little action has been taken to prosecute this criminal behavior.
CSTC works hard to build on promises of reconciliation from all levels of government and continues to support meaningful progress and respect for the rights, title and jurisdiction of it member First Nations. We stand in solidarity with Mi'kmaq communities and call on the federal government to exercise its power in upholding the constitution.
Low salmon returns force Tribal Council to buy food-grade salmon for sturgeon bait
Sockeye salmon run is so low, Carrier Sekani Tribal Council is forced to buy food-grade salmon to use as bait for endangered sturgeon study. CSTC calls on Fisheries and Oceans Canada to fund First Nations training to run hatcheries in their communities, in an effort to increase salmon populations.
(Unceded territory of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation, Prince George, B.C. – Sept. 3, 2020) — Carrier Sekani Tribal Council usually conducts its research on endangered white sturgeon by sourcing Sockeye salmon to use as bait from the Lheidli T'enneh or Stellako First Nations. But salmon returns are so low this year, there isn't enough salmon to use as bait without getting it from the grocery store. It's a symbol of just how endangered the runs are. CSTC Fisheries Program Manager Christina Ciesielski had no choice but to purchase 30 kilograms of salmon from Save-On-Foods, in order to attract juvenile sturgeon to be studied.
"It felt criminal that we're buying these food-grade fish from a corporation to catch an endangered species that we're studying — when there's people in our communities who are starving. That could have fed members of our communities," says Ciesielski.
CSTC values its ability to trade for or buy the salmon from neighbouring First Nations. "We do it to help each other out," says Ciesielski. "We're First Nations and we want to support other First Nations groups. It's what people used to do and we want to keep that alive."
The Early Stuart Sockeye Run has been reduced to a fraction of its historical peak numbers from 500,000 salmon to what's estimated to be 16,000 this year. The Late Stuart Run and part of the Summer Run (Stellako) are also low this year at 55,000, down from a historical peak of over 1.6 million and about half the 2015 return numbers.
Ciesielski says that without rapid investment from Fisheries and Oceans Canada to train CSTC's member nations to run new hatcheries in their communities, those numbers won't improve.
A recent study (2009, Levy et al.) by the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance (UFFCA) shows that high water, high temperatures and other migration conditions have played a big part in the decline of the Early and Late Stuart Sockeye runs. Adding to that the recent Big Bar landslide and a multitude of factors in the ocean all contributing to devastating returns.
Decades-Old Frozen Milt Brings Hope for Chinook Salmon Revival
A massive landslide near Clinton, B.C. in June of 2019 created a blockage on the Fraser River and interrupted the migration of thousands of salmon populations. First Nations, provincial and federal leaders worked with scientists, engineers and emergency responders to rescue the spawning season.

Regulatory watch
CSDR - SDR – ESMA's call to deprioritise buy-in supervision will be followed by the AMF
In its letter published on 17 December 2021*, ESMA took note of the latest developments concerning the future mandatory buy-in requirement.
Click here to read the latest Flash News.
Based on the agreement between the three bodies (the Commission, Parliament and the Council) of 24 November 2021, which creates the possibility of starting settlement disciplines in two stages, ESMA requests national competent authorities not to focus their supervisory action on the mandatory buy-in application from 1 February 2022.
Indeed, given the European legislative process, it is likely that the new date will not be official before June 2022 since the next step (the proposal by ESMA of a new date for the mandatory buy-in) will not be able to start until the CSDR amendment comes into effect, in March 2022.
The letter from ESMA should therefore allow the different actors concerned to avoid systematically initiating buy-in procedures; a real relief for the industry, especially since the lack of answers to the many questions submitted to the Commission made it difficult to implement the mandatory buy-in in February.
The French regulator (the AMF) has already responded favourably to ESMA's request in a press release dated 23 December 2021**. Let us hope that he will be followed by his peers!

The Baltimore Sun Media Group Names Glass Jacobson Financial Group as a Baltimore 2017 Top Workplace
Glass Jacobson Financial Group is awarded its seventh-straight Top Workplace award by The Baltimore Sun Media Group
OWINGS MILLS, Md., December 19, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Glass Jacobson Financial Group has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by The Baltimore Sun Media Group for the seventh year in a row. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Energage LLC (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including alignment, execution and connection, just to name a few.
"The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it's all about fancy perks and benefits," says Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. "But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day — the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what's most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it's going to get there and the feeling that everyone is in it together." Claffey adds, "Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn't have a shot at being named a Top Workplace."
The most valuable asset of our company is our employees.
Ed Jacobson, CEO
To be awarded this honor seven years in a row is recognition of the culture that has been cultivated at Glass Jacobson Financial Group. "The most valuable asset of our company is our employees," says Ed Jacobson, CEO of Glass Jacobson Financial Group. "Our goal is to empower each employee to reach their fullest potential. We give our employees a lot of responsibility and autonomy, which breeds an entrepreneurial culture." Glass Jacobson continues to grow and expand with recent acquisitions in the D.C. and Baltimore area.

Spitboy Rule, The: Tales of a Xicana in a Female Punk Band By Michelle Cruz Gonzales, 144 pgs.
Spitboy was a Bay Area hardcore band active in the '90s. They sported an all-female lineup, a rarity in a scene long known just as much for being a hotbed of testosterone as for being the hotbed of creativity that produced, among other things, what became known as "alternative" rock. Though they intentionally didn't affiliate themselves with the then-nascent riot grrrl collective of bands, they did cover much of the same lyrical territory and beyond—misogyny, racism, sexism, rape culture. They simultaneously tried to navigate their existence in a scene that—despite its best intentions—continues to struggle with the fact it's often little more than a microcosm of the greater society to which it strives to provide an alternative.
Gonzales, then known as "Todd Spitboy," was the band's drummer and one of its lyricists. The book is more memoir than a linear autobiography. Gonzales writes of her formative years in a small Northern California town, her discovery of punk, her move to the San Francisco area, her early musical endeavors, and the life of Spitboy, from formation to dissolution. Each episode is delivered in chapters that sometimes mirror the assorted photographs peppered throughout the book. They are short impressions that both document a given moment in time and contribute to a greater thematic thread.
While her story is of note in and of itself, Spitboy Rule is particularly affecting when she speaks of being a person of color within the punk scene, and the only person of color in her band. Recounting numerous awkward moments within the context of both, she talks of first trying to bury and supplant her ethnicity with that of a punk. She then rediscovers and embraces that ethnicity and its accompanying social class when it pops up and causes some uncomfortable situations between her, her peers, and her bandmates. Gonzales addresses the subject with candor and understanding. She raises some interesting questions in the process with a voice that is clear, singular, and introspective while never losing sight of the bigger picture and her place within it.
Included are pieces by Professor Mimi Thi Nguyen and Los Crudos vocalist Martin Sorrondeguy, who deftly provide context about Gonzales, Spitboy, and the time and world they inhabited. All told, The Spitboy Rule is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in gender/ethnic studies, Spitboy, the punk scene in which it existed, the often contradictory and landmine-ridden political climate of that scene, or simply a memoir about living an extraordinary life during an extraordinary moment in America's musical timeline. –Jimmy Alvarado (PM Press, PO Box 23912, Oakland, CA 94623)


Justice For Myanmar demands accountability for KBZ and Max Myanmar's criminal support for genocide
Download PDF: English | Burmese | French
August 24, 2020, Myanmar: On the third anniversary of the Myanmar military's campaign of genocide against the Rohingya, Justice For Myanmar calls for a criminal investigation of crony conglomerates KBZ Group and Max Myanmar under international law. Both have built up a network of international business partners, who have an obligation under the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to support justice and remedy for victims and survivors of the genocide.
KBZ and Max Myanmar's business partners must act immediately to ensure justice and accountability for the victims and survivors. So far, they are failing to meet their human rights due diligence obligations. These business partners include major corporations from the USA, EU, UK, Switzerland and Japan, such as Royal Dutch Shell, AIA, Accor, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Hughes Network Systems and Kempinski AG.
Justice For Myanmar spokesperson Yadanar Maung says: "The Myanmar military carried out their "clearance operations" against the Rohingya with the support of military and crony businesses. Financing international crimes is a crime itself and these businesses must be held to account. International partners of Max Myanmar and KBZ are complicit in these crimes through their silence. They must act now."
In September 2017, the Myanmar military held a series of fundraisers to collect donations from crony and military businesses, in support of their campaign of genocide against the Rohingya. Funds raised were used to support security forces in Rakhine State and for the construction of a border fence to prevent displaced Rohingya from returning to their homes. Among the largest donors were Myanmar's biggest crony conglomerates, KBZ Group, donating US$2.47 million and Max Myanmar, donating US$976,857.
The Union Enterprise for Humanitarian Assistance, Resettlement and Development (UEHRD), chaired by State Counsellor Daw Aung SanSuu Kyi, held additional fundraisers for the construction of the border fence. Major donors were again KBZ, donating US$2.2 million and Max Myanmar, donating US$654,000.
In August 2019, the United Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar (UN FFM) investigated donations and concluded that "the Mission now has reasonable grounds to also conclude that officials from KBZ Group and Max Myanmar should be criminally investigated and, if appropriate, prosecuted for making a substantial and direct contribution to the commission of the crime against humanity of "other inhumane acts.""
The UN FFM recommendations have so far gone unheeded. Business partners of Max Myanmar and KBZ have due diligence obligations that requires them to act.
As part of those due diligence obligations, Justice For Myanmar calls on business partners of KBZ and Max Myanmar to:
1. Ensure that they do not do business with corporations that have or may have aided and abetted the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
2. Require KBZ and Max Myanmar to fully and publicly disclose all their business relationships with the Myanmar military, and all their donations to the Myanmar military and UEHRD. If KBZ and Max Myanmar fail to do so, cut all business ties with them.
3. Cut all ties with KBZ and Max Myanmar unless evidence establishes that they do not, currently or in the future, have any business relationships with the Myanmar military and that they have not made and do not, currently or in the future, make donations to the Myanmar military.
Yadanar Maung continues: "It is unacceptable that Max Myanmar and KBZ are continuing to operate with impunity. This is an outrage to all Rohingya, including the more than 800,000 survivors of genocide that are languishing in camps in Bangladesh, and those remaining in Myanmar who continue to be deprived of their basic rights, guarded by the very security forces that have perpetrated atrocities against them. The international community must make a concerted effort to ensure that the UN FFM's recommendations are implemented and that all perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes against the Rohingya are held accountable."
Justice For Myanmar is a group of covert activists campaigning for justice and accountability for the people of Myanmar. We are calling for an end to military business and for federal democracy and a sustainable peace.

Plutocratic Socialism
The Future of Private Property and the Fate of the Middle Class
by Mark T. Mitchell
Imprint: Front Porch Republic Books
Published: May 2022
A proletarianized citizenry ruled by a class of insolent plutocrats is incompatible with the republican form of government established by the US Constitution. Without an effective majority of citizens who own property and whose character has been shaped by property ownership--a vibrant middle class--the Founders' Constitution will not survive. Our current age of Plutocratic Socialism is a specific manifestation of a pathology the Founders feared. Recovery must begin with a simple, yet profound, axiom: private property and political freedom stand or fall together.
Mark T. Mitchell is dean of academic affairs and professor of government at Patrick Henry College. He is the author of several books, including Power and Purity: The Unholy Marriage That Spawned America's Social Justice Warriors and The Limits of Liberalism: Tradition, Individualism, and the Crisis of Freedom. He is the co-founder of Front Porch Republic.
"Our republic is faltering. The left pushes us into the dystopia of identity politics; the right talks incessantly of free markets and of tradition. Missing in the discussion is the one thing necessary to stabilize the American commercial republic: private property. No private property, no middle-class republic. Mark Mitchell has done us the invaluable service of reintroducing this crucial consideration into our debates about why America has lost her way and how to correct her course."
—Joshua Mitchell, Georgetown University
"With clarity, grace, and erudition lightly worn, Mitchell takes aim at the mutually reinforcing pathologies, plutocracy and socialism, that are undermining the theory and practice of the middle-class republic. Mitchell demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that only a middle-class, multiracial republic of civic-minded property owners can save us from the unholy alliance of plutocratic masters and despotic woke ideologues. Bracing wisdom for our time."
—Daniel J. Mahoney, Assumption University, emeritus
"Hilaire Belloc called it 'the servile state.' Mark Mitchell offers the contemporary label 'plutocratic socialism,' meaning the union of big government and big business, now amplified by the corrupt ideology of 'wokism.' With fresh insight and power, Mitchell rehabilitates the case for building a middle-class democracy resting on property rights and self-imposed moral limits as the only way to build a truly free and progressive society. This is political philosophy at its urgent best."
—Allan Carlson, author of The New Agrarian Mind

Introduction Projects Community
What does "open-source" mean ?
Open-source software is software for which the source code is provided openly. Source code is the materiel required to build and modify software. You can think of it as recipes to build programs.
While a lot of programmers and companies keep the source code to themselves (proprietary or closed-source software), others choose to give it with their software (open-source software, sometimes even free software).
Hence the word 'open-source'.
Why is Paperwork open-source ?
With closed-source software, it's hard to know what the program is actually doing. It's far too easy for companies to hide spyware or adware (or even worse) in their programs.
Paperwork has to handle strictly personal, confidential and very sensitive data. You have to be able to trust it.
Paperwork is distributed under the licence GPLv3. This licence gives you the right to obtain the source code of Paperwork, and all the pieces of software it is linked with. Any Python programmers can freely and easily have a look at what Paperwork does and how it does it.
While developing Paperwork, we often looked at other open-source programs to understand how they did things or just to inspire ourselves. Now it's our turn to share.
Paperwork uses a lot of existing opensource programs and librairies (Python, Gtk, python-simplebayes, ...). So many that it's impossible to make a comprehensive list of all of them.
While it uses a lot of existing programs and libraries, we had to create others from scratchs. We gladly distribute these components back as opensource. For instance, while the library PyOCR has been created especially for Paperwork, there are other projects, like Paperless, who use it too.
When you buy a book, what's written in it belongs to its author, not to you. When you buy proprietary software, it still belongs to their author(s), not to you. That's the way intellectual property is supposed to work.
However, in some way, distributing Paperwork as GPLv3 makes it yours. If someday you decide to learn how to program in Python, you will be free to learn from it or even modify it.
Collaborate and improve
Paperwork being opensource, everybody is free to contribute. Many people already have, and we are very thankful. Many other people have also contributed to various components used by Paperwork (unfortunately, it's almost impossible to list all the components).
If you modify and redistribute your own version of Paperwork, the GPLv3 asks only few things of you. The main one is that you must redistribute too your version of the source code. Also, you must redistribute it under the same licence, the GPLv3. This mechanism ensure that Paperwork will always remain open-source.
If you do modify it, you are invited (but not obligated) to send us your modifications on Gitlab.
Open-source is also about being proud of what you do. When you're proud of your work, you don't keep it shamefully hidden under a blanket. You show it to the world.
Where is Paperwork source code ?
Paperwork source code is hosted on Gnome's Gitlab. It is actually made of many components that anybody is free to reuse (there are various licences and rules for each component however). It's impossible to list them all, but here is a list of the components developed mostly by us:
PyOCR : A Python library to make things easier for Python's programmers who want to use OCR tools (Optical Character Recognition)
Libinsane : A C library to make it easier to use scanner devices. Provided with bindings for many languages (Python, JS, etc) thanks to GObject Introspection.
Libpillowfight : A bunch of image processing algorithms

Once the Richest Man in Asia, China Evergrande's Founder Hui Ka Yan, Now Watches as His Company Faces Insolvency
The Evergrande crisis continues.
Yahoo News reports:
The opening last year of the world's largest artificial resort island, developed by China Evergrande Group for nearly $13 billion, was the realization of the ambitions of founder Hui Ka Yan, who sketched a design for the project himself.
Now Evergrande is in default to global bondholders, the former Communist Party secretary of the small Hainan island city where Ocean Flower Island was built is serving a life sentence for bribery, and officials in Danzhou city have ordered 39 of the project's towers – roughly 3,900 of the island's 65,000 homes – to be demolished over environmental and construction violations.
TRENDING: EXCLUSIVE: Never-Before-Seen Video of ROSANNE BOYLAND'S LAST HAPPY MOMENTS ALIVE ON JANUARY 6th - Before She Was Killed - Say Her Name #RosanneBoyland. DON'T LET THEM COVER-UP HER DEATH
The demolition of part of the 2,000-acre, flower-shaped project would add to the woes of what was once China's top-selling developer, which is now reeling under more than $300 billion in debt, struggling to revive sales and repay creditors and suppliers.
Government documents related to the project and details provided by two sources with direct knowledge of the island's development show how the work skirted environmental and zoning regulations during nearly a decade of development, eventually drawing scrutiny from regulatory authorities.
As noted, Hui was Asia's richest man at one point.
In 2017, Hui was Asia's richest man. As recently as July 2021, the former steel technician could be found mingling with power brokers in Beijing at a celebration to mark the centenary of the Chinese Communist Party.
Chinese authorities have been scrutinising the firm and Hui's assets since late last year to determine whether anything was hidden, and the central bank has blamed mismanagement and breakneck expansion for Evergrande's problems.
As Evergrande, now at the centre of China's property sector liquidity squeeze, pushed ahead with the resort island, it ran into environmental issues, in particular over land reclamation that damaged the local ecology, the two sources said.
The Evergrande crisis has not only impacted Asia's former richest man, it also impacts Hong Kong's former richest woman.

The company with over $300 billion in debt is now facing bankruptcy. The property management sector in China, one of its biggest sectors is in peril. Is this the beginning of massive financial challenges for companies in this market? Time will tell.
