  • Controversy Surrounding the Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging
    Controversy Surrounding The Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging LEAH ROSS My wife and I get sick when the pesticide trucks come around every year. We don’t need to hear when our area is being fogged—we can feel it in our legs, a dull ache that tells us the poison truck has come. We have tried to get our house taken off the list, and the city has duly recorded our name and address, but it has no effect. The guys on the truck just spray everything, including people’s vegetable gardens. Once my wife saw them spray our house and ran outside to tell them we were supposed to be missed. The guy on the truck noticed her, turned around… and sprayed her with the fog…. Another night we saw them playing with the neighbour’s dog, who likes chasing water hoses and figured, somewhere in his tiny dog brain, that he was playing the same game. He cheerfully chased the spray around his dog pad, his muzzle dripping with malathion. The truck had stopped so that the sprayer could play this game for a minute or two. We never bothered to complain, figuring that if they weren’t going to respect our wish to be bypassed, they weren’t going to investigate our complaint. It’s our word against theirs.1 I. INTRODUCTION innipeg is known as the mosquito capital of Canada and “in the summer of 2001,West Nile Virus was recognized as an W emerging public health threat”.2 As a result, provincial and civic officials pumped millions of dollars into fighting the bugs by helicopter and on foot.

  • April 11, 2019 Dear Senators, I Want to Thank You for the Opportunity To
    April 11, 2019 Dear Senators, I want to thank you for the opportunity to provide input into your Committee's deliberations on the merits of Bill C-69. I regret that my duties as the MLA for Wolseley at the Manitoba Legislature prevent me from making this presentation in person, but I am pleased to offer this short written submission instead. I have two brief points to make: 1. My general comment is that Bill C-69 makes some important improvements to the flawed approach implemented by the previous federal government under Stephen Harper. I also note that reform of this legislation was a key campaign promise made by the current federal government in the last federal election. That said, Bill C-69 needs to be strengthened in several key areas to properly live up to that promise. For instance, it does not come close to restoring proper protections for Canada's waterways. It also fails to provide sufficient direction to prevent situations where important issues of process are undermined by too much discretionary power left in the hands of decision- makers (i.e. politicians like me). As an elected official I fully appreciate the nuances of the legislative process, and the constant lobbying - from all directions - that necessarily surrounds important policy discussions such as this one. On balance, Bill C-69 makes some progress, and I would encourage you to facilitate its passage in its current form if the other option is for the Bill to die on the order paper. 2. My specific comment concerns the lack of any connection between Bill C-69 and SEDAR, the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (https://sedar.com/homepage_en.htm).

    Bill 30: Redefining the Ride-Sharing Economy in Winnipeg DREN MALOKU * I. INTRODUCTION lthough Winnipeg’s population has grown by 7 per cent since 2010, the number of taxicab licences is virtually unchanged since 1947.1 A At one cab for every 1252 passengers, Winnipeg’s ratio sits well below Canada’s median of one cab for every 860 persons.2 Soaring accessibility issues combined with a poor taxicab industry safety record, has resulted in the enactment of hasty ridesharing legislation. Bill 30 – The Vehicle for Hire Act (the VFH Act), was first introduced in the Manitoba Legislature (“House”) on March 20th, 2017, during the 2nd session of the 41st legislature. Bill 30 came into effect on February 28th, 2018.3 The VFH Act repealed The Taxi Cab Act, amended The Highway Traffic Act, The Liquor and Gaming Control Act, The Drivers and Vehicles Act, and The Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation Act, and transferred ridesharing jurisdiction over to the city of Winnipeg and other local municipalities from the Province of Manitoba.4 This extension in law-making authority enables Manitoban * Dren Maloku, B.A. (UBC), J.D.

  • Alberta’S Speaker Engages the Charles Robert (Deputy Chair) Public and Enhances Democracy Philip Massolin
    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 3 The Politics of Seat Reductions 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 Elin Salome Halldorson was the first female elected from a rural riding and the second woman to be elected to the Manitoba Legislature. She was also the first female of Icelandic descent to be elected in Manitoba. Salome, as she was known, was born in Lundar, Manitoba in 1887, shortly after her parents emigrated from Iceland. Salome studied at Wesley College, the University of Manitoba and completed post-graduate studies in the United States and France. She taught languages at a private Icelandic school in Winnipeg where she was also the principal and dean. Salome was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for St. George in the 1936 provincial election. During her campaign, she gained popularity by speaking in French, Icelandic, English or German, depending on her audience. A strong believer in the Social Credit movement, she was one of five candidates who won a seat; she later became the president of the Manitoba Social Credit League. She was defeated in the next general election in 1941 by Skuli Sigfusson. However, another Halldorson defeated Sigfusson in the following provincial election. Salome’s younger brother, Christian Halldorson, was first elected in 1946 and served three terms as the representative for St. George until his death in 1956. Unlike Salome, Christian was a member of the Liberal-Progressive party. Christian was born in Lundar in 1891 and was educated at the Manitoba Agricultural College.
