It’s Time to See What Beijing Doesn’t Want You to See

5,000 YEARS OF CIVILIZATION REBORN

Shen Yun is reviving China’s divinely inspired culture that’s nearly lost under communist rule. At this inflection point in history, be inspired by 5,000 years of beauty, strength, and wisdom and find out why the Chinese communist regime is so afraid of the revival of China’s traditional culture.

“I pray that the people of China one day “There is a massive power in this that can see it, because they deserve to see it. embrace the world. It brings great hope… The world deserves to see it.” It is truly a touch of heaven.”

—Rita Cosby, Emmy Award-winning journalist —Daniel Herman, former Minister of Culture, Czech Republic

In upholding summary judgments in two separate but related class actions, the Court of Appeal agreed the federal government had long ignored warnings about the dangers of prolonged segregation and the lack of independent oversight of such placements. One of the current cases, with Christo- pher Brazeau as representative plaintiff, involves the placement of mentally ill inmates in isolation. The class in the other case, spearheaded by Jullian Reddock, takes in prisoners placed in administrative segregation for at least 15 straight days. “Canada chose to ignore repeated recommendations for some form of independent review of administrative segregation,’’ the Appeal Court said. “Canada also continued to place inmates suffering from mental illness in administrative segregation, despite repeated warnings of the harm that this practice caused.’’ Last year, Superior Court Justice Paul Perell ruled there was no need for trials to decide the claims. Perell sided with the inmates. In Reddock, he also found Canada liable for “systemic negligence.’’ Perell awarded $20 million in preliminary dam- ages for each class. In one case, he said, the money should go to the inmates. In the other, he ruled it should go toward “structural changes’’ to prisons to improve conditions for mentally ill inmates. On appeal, the federal government ar- gued Perell should have ruled only after a trial. The higher court rejected the argu- ment based on “ample evidence’’ the federal government failed to heed repeated warnings that segregation, especially when prolonged, can have devastating psychological impact on inmates. “In international law, for at least 30 years, there has been a growing recognition of the need to eliminate use of solitary confinement for prisoners with mental illness and strictly limit its use for all prisoners,’’ the appellate court noted. “The char- ter breach has caused severe harm to very vulnerable people and the state’s conduct has been condemned as being cruel, exces- sive, abhorrent and intolerable.’’ www.WeeklyVoice.com Friday, March 13, 2020 | A-9

Did you know? Canadians spend less on wireless than Americans.

It’s a myth that Canadians pay some of the highest wireless prices in the world. The average Canadian household spends just 1.6% of their disposable income on wireless versus 2.6% in the US.*

MP Sahota says she knows that Canadians are rely- ing on cell phone services for their everyday needs, making access to high quality and affordable wireless services absolutely essential. “That is why the Government of Canada is offering Canadian consumers more affordable options by helping to reduce the cost of mid-range cell phone services by 25 percent and further increasing competition.” Navdeep Bains, Minister of In- novation, Science and Industry, recently announced the release of the 2019 Price Com- parison Study. The study shows that average prices from regional providers were up to 45 per cent lower than plans provided by the three big national carriers. Sahota said that Minister Bains presented the next steps to lower prices and promote competition. To track progress of a 25 percent reduction, the Govern- ment will report on wireless pricing quarterly by establishing a clear benchmark. This will also increase transparency. For cellphone plans that offer 2 GB to 6 GB of data, the three big national carriers—Bell Canada, Rogers Communi- cations Canada and Telus Communications—are expected to lower their prices by 25 percent in the next two years. If these targets are not met, the Government will take action with other regulatory tools, Sahota added.

2020 Honda Accord 1.5 Touring – A Family Sedan In An SUV World!

By Nauman Farooq

Honda has been offering the Accord nameplate since 1976, and this mid-size sedan was once the most popular family car in America. Nowadays, people seem to pre- fer SUVs over the family car, and as a result, these kind of vehicles are thinning away! Now in its tenth generation model, the Accord is outsold by the CR-V by a huge margin. Part of the reason could be, because Honda just offers the sedan version of the Accord now, whereas in the past, there were coupes, fastbacks, and wagons offered as well. Come to think of it, the only body style Honda never offered Dynamics: I sure wish my tester with the Accord nameplate was a was the Sport 2.0 model with a convertible. manual gearbox, instead of the With sales numbers for the Ac- Touring 1.5 with the CVT; be- cord on a decline, there might not cause this vehicle was fairly bor- be an 11th generation model.

A fully loaded Touring 2.0 will set you back nearly $42,000. My tester, a Touring 1.5 model is yours from $38,976 – which when you consider all the equipment you get in this car, is not a lot! Verdict: Honda might not offer the variety with the Accord nameplate as it once did – the Civic does that nowadays – but it is still a good car with lots of tech. For me, it just isn’t exciting enough to be my one and only car, but if I already have a fun sports car tucked away in the garage, than the Accord would make for a good daily driver. Actually, I still would not get this Accord for myself, as for about the same amount of money, I’d rather have the Acura ILX A- Spec.
