  • Backgrounder – a Safer Canada Andrew Scheer's Plan for a Safer
    Backgrounder – A Safer Canada Andrew Scheer’s plan for A Safer Canada Too many families Canada continue to live in fear of violent gang, gun, and drug-related violence. Justin Trudeau talks a good game about fighting gun violence but it is clear he is not as advertised. His failure to keep illegal guns from crossing the border or to keep violent gang and gun criminals behind bars continues to leave too many innocent families at risk. Justin Trudeau’s plan – forcing people who already follow the law to follow more laws in the form of a firearms ban – will do nothing to tackle crime or gun violence. As Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders has said: “In recent years, we have seen that 80% of the firearms are coming in from the border.” And: “By and large, shootings have street gang connotations to them or are street gang related.” Only Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives have a plan to fight gang violence and gun crime. Not only will a Conservative government do more to keep your family safe from gang and gun crime, it will also take meaningful action to fight the addiction crisis by helping more people get the treatment they need for recovery, while cracking down on the despicable practice of human trafficking. THE ISSUE Since 2015, homicides in Canada are up by 8% and incidents of violent crime are up by 7%. Last year Canada had the second highest gang homicide rate since the data began being collected in 2005. According to Peel Region police, 75% of illegal handguns seized are smuggled from the U.S., while Ottawa’s police chief has also acknowledged that firearms smuggled from the U.S.

  • April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine Mckenna Minister of Infrastructure
    April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine McKenna Minister of Infrastructure and Communities [email protected] Dear Minister McKenna, We write as twenty (20) business organizations representing a broad cross-section of Manitoba’s economy collectively employing tens of thousands of women and men. Those industries include engineering & consulting, heavy civil and 2 vertical construction, commercial and residential development, manufacturing & exporting, retail, agriculture, commercial trucking and skilled trades. Our appeal to the federal government is that it assist in our provincial economic recovery by accelerating the approvals of and flexibility in the allocation from federal programs. Such measures would enable funding of key Manitoba projects that would immediately procure jobs, build legacy assets and be key instruments in help kick-staring Manitoba’s economy. The above is necessary to help correct the lack of confidence in the economy by all its sectors, the alarm, anxiety and fear of what lies ahead around the corner, and indeed where that corner is. That has led to private-sector projects being deferred or outright canceled. Those decision have resulted in lost jobs, supply and equipment sales, all of which reduces the collective ROI to GDP. Addressing consumer and investor confidence is critical to our recovery. In that regard, we understand the Province of Manitoba has communicated its commitment to flow its capital programs, harnessing investment in infrastructure to help Manitoba’s economy recover. We are told Manitoba has more than $6B in project submissions for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) with many being shovel ready. We urge the federal government to make the most of the current market conditions - competitive bid prices and extraordinarily low interest rates - to meet the formidable economic challenge in front of us.

Continuing in the fine (recent) tradition of physicians editing a newsletter that historically has mostly been about current affairs and politics, I am delighted to take the rein from Luke Pike (Newfoundland & St. John’s 2007) with this, my first issue of the CARS newsletter as editor. We have an all-new CARS Executive as well, and have spent the last half year getting to know each other and locating the bylaws in various basements and shoeboxes around the country (see our President’s letter for more details). My sincere thanks to Mark Schaan (Prairies and New 2002) for his leadership as President over these past few years and to Katie Sheehan (Prairies and Merton 2002) for her guidance in putting together this newsletter. You will note that Steve Aylward describes this process as ‘cat-herding’; as a proud born-and-raised Albertan I would prefer ‘cattle-herding’ or something to that effect, but the metaphor is ultimately the same.

  • September 16, 2020 Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia
    September 16, 2020 Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Finance Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Seamus O’Regan, Minister of Natural Resources Re: Financial risks of the Trans Mountain expansion project Dear Prime Minister, Minister Freeland, Minister Wilkinson and Minister O’Regan: Since your purchase of Trans Mountain, world oil markets have weakened significantly. According to the International Energy Agency, oil demand has dropped by the largest amount on record and lower oil prices are causing severe financial stress in the oil industry. The International Energy Agency also concludes that demand for oil will have to decline by 30% over the next two decades to meet the Paris climate change commitments, and oil majors including Shell and BP have recently questioned whether demand will ever fully recover in the wake of COVID-19. Even before COVID-19 depressed oil markets, the private sector had been signaling that oil is no longer a wise long-term investment in a world moving to address climate change. Teck Resources pulled the plug on its Frontier oil sands mine and Mark Carney, the former head of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, warned that up to one-half of the world’s oil reserves could become stranded assets. At the same time that oil markets are weakening, and the private sector is cutting investment, your government is increasing investments in the oil sector by continuing construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMX). The cost of the project has more than doubled to $12.6 billion and the tolls approved by the Canadian Energy Regulator have not been adjusted to cover this higher capital cost.
