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.

Agathon Fric* Popping the Question: What the Questionnaire for Federal Judicial Appointments Reveals about the Pursuit of Justice, Diversity, and the Commitment to Transparency Since 2017, the Canadian government has published excerpts from questionnaires that prospective judges completed as part of the judicial selection process, subjecting newly appointed superior and federal court judges to a degree of scrutiny that is unprecedented in Canadian history. Using this novel source material, this article explores what a sample of 16 judges’ questionnaires do and do not say about the individuals behind the robes. This review suggests that those appointed to the bench in 2017 generally demonstrate insight into the judicial role in Canada.

We have over 70 member companies comprising over 2,000 employees in highly skilled jobs and the sector has attracted over $0.5 billion of investment in the past 2 years -- and is growing. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Hydrogen energy will benefit millions of Canadians and help scores of industries decarbonize. The Hydrogen Council forecasts the global sector will become a $2.5 trillion annual market by 2050 to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions, while the Bank of America cites Bloomberg BNEF forecasting an $11 trillion infrastructure market over the next 30 years1. Canada is well positioned to secure a large share of that market due to the world renown strength of our technology companies and energy resources. But over 26 other countries also see the opportunity, so there is urgency to move quickly to maintain our Canadian advantage. For that reason, the CHFCA, with the support of other leading Canadian industry associations, urges: 1. The prompt release of the Hydrogen Strategy for Canada, 2. That it be backed with significant federal government investment, and 3.

    December 17, 2019 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Langevin Block Ottawa, ON, K1A 0A2 Dear Prime Minister, Congratulations on your re-election to the House of Commons and your swearing-in as Prime Minister of Canada. I write to you on behalf of Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights – formerly Planned Parenthood Canada – a progressive, pro-choice charitable organization committed to advancing and upholding sexual and reproductive health and rights in Canada and globally. As you begin your second mandate as Prime Minister, we urge you to take action on the following issues which require coordination across ministries: 1. Address uneven access to abortion care across the country – including by enforcing the Canada Health Act We were pleased to hear your commitments to address persisting barriers regarding abortion access across the country, including in New Brunswick. Access to abortion remains a serious concern for many across the country. Only one hospital in six offers abortion in Canada. Unnecessarily rules and regulations at provincial and territorial levels, or within regional health systems and hospital settings, prevent access. Many people seeking care have to travel large distances to access abortion, and often must travel to the US for abortion services post-23 weeks, face interference and intimidation from anti-choice organizations and activists that often mislead, confuse, and delay individuals seeking an abortion, or experience harassment, threats, violence, and intimidation from anti-choice protesters outside of sexual health clinics and hospitals which provide abortion. Your urgent action is required to address the discriminatory regulation 84-20 of New Brunswick’s Medical Services Payment Act.

Conservatives share of vote is slightly higher than the Liberals, making major gains in key areas for the party • Bloc Quebecois (BQ) is a winner in this election, moving up to official party status which will give the party added resources as well as significance in the House of Commons • The NDP managed to win enough seats to potentially play an important role in the House of Commons, but the party took a big hit in Quebec — where they were only able to hold one of the Layton era “Orange Wave” seats • Maxime Bernier, who started the People’s Party of Canada after narrowly losing the Conservative leadership contest in 2017, lost the seat he has held onto since 2006 • The former Treasury Board president Dr. Jane Philpott, who ran as an independent following her departure from the liberal caucus, lost her seat in Markham Stouffville to former Liberal MPP and Ontario Minister of Health, Dr. Helena Jaczek.
