Th rough knowing employees at Progress Energy Canada Ltd., Pacific NorthWest LNG's sister company, I know Pacific NorthWest LNG is committed to developing an environmentally responsible project, just as Progress Energy is committed to environmentally sustainable upstream development. I have been impressed with PNW LNG's willingness to incorporate feedback from the local community and First Nations into the design of the facility, and I believe this is a very responsible industrial development that maintains the integrity of the environment. In addition, both Progress Energy and Pacific NorthWest LNG are already creating economic benefits in BC and Alberta. There are approximately 300 full-time employees currently working for Progress Energy, and there are approximately 80 full-time employees at Pacific NorthWest LNG. Once operational PNW LNG will directly employ over 300 people. Progress Energy would create and sustain approximately 2,800 jobs to provide the facility with natural gas. That is not including the thousands of construction jobs building the facility, and indirect jobs that w ill support the facility during operations. This is a much needed economic benefit for labor forces in Alberta and BC. I am asking the Government of Canada to approve Pacific NorthWest LNG's environmental certificate. <Original signed by> Jim Kulchisky, P.Eng. <personal information removed> (Alberta) CC: Prime Minister Trudeau ([email protected]) Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna ([email protected] ) Minister of Finance, Bill Morneau ([email protected] ) Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, Hunter Tootoo ([email protected]) Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, Jody Wilson-Raybould ([email protected] ) Minister of International Trade, Chrystia Freeland ([email protected] ) Minister of National Defence, Harjit Sajjan (DND [email protected] ) Minister of Natural Resources, Jim Carr ([email protected] ) Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities ([email protected] ) Minister of Transport, Marc Garneau ([email protected] ) .

    The Honourable Marc Garneau P.C., M.P. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Global Affairs Canada 125 Sussex Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2 Tuesday, June 22nd 2021 Object: Audit of the financial and personal connections of Hong Kong officials in Canada Dear Minister, We the undersigned, are writing to raise our concern about the deteriorating human rights situation in Hong Kong and to urge the Canadian Government to undertake an audit of the financial and personal connections Hong Kong officials have in Canada. In the recent months, we have seen Beijing continue its crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong with the mass arrest and charging of 47 pro-democracy activists under the National Security Law, the introduction of electoral reform which would prevent pro- democracy parties from standing for election, the freezing of the owner of Apple Daily Jimmy Lai’s assets, the passing of an Immigration Bill which would give the Chinese Government the power to restrict freedom of movement into and out of the city, and the banning of the June 4 Tiananmen Square vigil. In the middle of Beijing’s destruction of Hong Kong’s autonomy, rule of law, and way of life, stand thousands of Canadian citizens who are fearful of their future in the city. They are desperately waiting on the Canadian Government and its allies to act. With nearly every prominent pro-democracy voice in Hong Kong in jail, awaiting trial, or overseas in exile, it is clear that there is an increased need for a robust and coordinated response against the Hong Kong officials who are responsible for human rights abuses and the crackdown on the pro- democracy movement in the city.

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.

  • Mass Cancellations Put Artists' Livelihoods at Risk; Arts Organizations in Financial Distress
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau March 17, 2020 ​ Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland The Honourable Steven Guilbeault The Honourable William Francis Morneau Minister of Canadian Heritage Minister of Finance The Honourable Mona Fortier The Honourable Navdeep Bains Minister of Middle-Class Prosperity Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Associate Minister of Finance The Honourable Mélanie Joly Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages Re: Mass cancellations put artists’ livelihoods at risk; arts organizations in financial distress Dear Prime Minister Trudeau; Deputy Prime Minister Freeland; and Ministers Guilbeault, Morneau, Fortier, Joly, and Bains, We write as the leadership of Opera.ca, the national association for opera companies and professionals in Canada. In light of recent developments around COVID-19 and the waves of cancellations as a result of bans on mass gatherings, Opera.ca is urgently requesting federal aid on behalf of the Canadian opera sector and its artists -- its most essential and vulnerable people -- while pledging its own emergency support for artists in desperate need. Opera artists are the heart of the opera sector, and their economic survival is in jeopardy. In response to the dire need captured by a recent survey conducted by Opera.ca, the board of directors of Opera.ca today voted for an Opera Artists Emergency Relief Fund to be funded by the association. Further details will be announced shortly. Of the 14 professional opera companies in Canada, almost all have cancelled their current production and some the remainder of the season. This is an unprecedented crisis with long-reaching implications for the entire Canadian opera sector.

  • Brief Submitted to the Committee
    Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs Sixth Floor, 131 Queen Street House of Commons Ottawa ON K1A 0A6 Canada November 27, 2020 Please accept this brief for the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs study of support for Indigenous communities, businesses, and individuals through a second wave of Covid-19. SITUATION Since March 2020, James Smith Cree Nation (JSCN) and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN), have made requests to Canada for funding support for a First Nations led and managed solution to address our urgent and emergency need for Personal Protective Equipment in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities in the face of COVID-19. We have engaged exhaustive correspondence and communications about these proposals with: Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Hon. Chrystia Freeland, Hon. Marc Miller, Mr. Mike Burton, Hon. Carolyn Bennett, and ISC Regional officials Jocelyn Andrews, Rob Harvey and Bonnie Rushowick. Despite extensive consultations and discussions with the department and minister’s office, we have experienced significant delays and denials from Canada to support these urgently needed and emergency proposals. This has been well documented since May, with particular reference to ‘Indigenous Services Moving Goalposts on First Nations PPE’, CBC News, September 11, 2020 (https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/first-nations-ppe-proposal-1.5721249). The failed funding and departmental dysfunction have resulted in significant outbreaks which are occurring across our regions. By Canada’s own admission on November 29, COVID-19 is now four times (4x) worse in First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities than during the first wave which occurred from March through May 2020.

  • Cpha Letter to Prime Minister on Drug Shortage Concerns
    August 8, 2019 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada Langevin Block Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 Dear Prime Minister Over the last two weeks, Canadians along with pharmacists have been alarmed by the growing interest from our American counterparts to import medications from Canada into the US and the impact that this could have on Canada’s drug supply. While we sympathize with American patients who are seeking affordable access to medications, we do not believe that this is a practical or sustainable solution to addressing their domestic concerns. While we are very encouraged that the federal government is meeting with stakeholders next week to develop a plan to address the US proposal, the focus and attention on the recent US announcement has also put a much-needed spotlight on an issue that is deeply concerning to Canadians. Drug shortages in Canada are not a new phenomenon but pharmacists are reporting significant increases in the last 3-5 years. In some cases, pharmacists have indicated that up to 50% of their weekly order was not able to be filled. This trend has also been confirmed by patients with one in four Canadians saying that they have experienced a shortage, either personally or a family/friend. Given the nature of the global supply chain and the challenges that health care providers experience on the front lines, we would urge the government to commit to a clear drug shortage action plan that would include: 1. Research on the underlying causes of shortages in Canada and globally 2.

  • Stop Cheap Shrimp
    www.arcticseafood.sg STOP CHEAP SHRIMP Executive Summary Cheap and unsustainable shrimp imports to Canada are dangerous for humans and environment. Antibiotic-resistant shrimp make their way here and pose the risk of causing fatal infections1,2. Other artifacts of cheap shrimp are slavery, habitat loss, and destruction of coastal cities. Canada must stand against unsustainable shrimp imports. Why Shrimp Health & Nutrition Only 5% of our food imports are inspected at the border, leaving 95% of imports to enter Canada uninspected3. Unsustainable imported shrimp from countries like Thailand and India were recently sent back for containing Nitrofurans, a carcinogen antibiotic2. But antibiotic- resistant bacteria are making their way to Canada despite 5% being inspected. These bacteria can harbour disease and cause fatal infections2. We don’t need to consume shrimp to ensure a healthy lifestyle. Canada’s 2019 food www.cbc.ca/news guide recommends “choosing protein foods that come from plants”4. Antibiotic use on domestic shrimp is banned Arvin Bahrabadi by CFIA, yet imported shrimp are not held to the same standard2.

  • Has Written to Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau
    May 13, 2021 BY E-MAIL: [email protected] The Honourable Marc Garneau, P.C., M.P. Minister of Foreign Affairs 125 Sussex Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2 RE: Support for Dr. David Scheffel Dear Minister, On behalf of the 72,000 academic staff members of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), we write to express grave concern over the detention and imprisonment in Slovakia of Dr. David Scheffel, a permanent Canadian resident and scholar. Dr. Scheffel, an anthropology professor of nearly 30 years at Thompson Rivers University, was arrested in Prešov, Slovakia in 2017 on the charges of sexual exploitation and child pornography. He was undertaking anthropological research into Roma sex work and the local sex trade. His lawyers claim that the charges brought against Dr. Scheffel are likely an attempt to undercut his advocacy for Slovakia’s vulnerable and marginalized Roma population. Dr. Scheffel received full ethics clearance from his University to conduct this research and his detention and denial of a fair trial violates international human rights and widely accepted principles of academic freedom. While in detention, he was subjected to harsh conditions while also being denied access to the research materials necessary to mount a fair and full defense. During his trial, the presiding judge took into consideration only the testimonies provided without the presence of Dr. Scheffel’s lawyer. Dr. Scheffel’s lawyer was also not provided the opportunity for cross- examination. On February 24, 2021, the Regional Court in Prešov sentenced Dr. Scheffel to seven years in prison. His lawyer has requested an investigation of the case to the Slovakian Supreme Court.
