In an effort to revive the economy and strengthen the transportation system, B.C. has released a series of announcements foretelling increased export capacity, making our neighbors to the North the "preferred gateway to Asian markets."1 In other words, British Columbia has taken the initiative to answer the growing demand from Asian markets, recognizing that working families and job creation are absolutely vital to maintaining a prosperous community. And if we consider ourselves competitors with B.C. in the global marketplace, it's pretty clear we have a worthy rival from which we can learn a great deal. British Columbia export expansion British Columbia Premier Christy Clark announced last week that the province would provide $15 million toward the $90 million expansion plan for the Ridley Island Terminal (Prince Rupert), which ships coal and potash to Asia.2 The investment is part of a $300 million infrastructure project that would increase the port's capacity to ship to Asian markets six fold.3 This announcement came shortly after Ridley Terminal's plans to double coal export capacity from its current capacity of 12 million tons to anywhere from 24 million to 33 million tons annually.4 Similarly, the Westshore terminals (Tsawwassen) have a $40 million expansion plan in the works that will increase capacity to 33 million tons per year by 2012, while Neptune Bulk terminals (Vancouver) are investing $63.5 million in new equipment that will increase coal handling capacity to 12.5 million tons per year by 2012.5 [http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs073/1105671172285/img/16.jpg] The Ridley Island Terminal is located at Prince Rupert in British Columbia. Plans to double the terminal's coal exporting capacity are underway. Despite the lack of industrial growth on our end, B.C. expansion is nothing new-their goal of increasing exports is part of a $22 billion effort to expand port, rail, road, and airport facilities, joining together infrastructure, labor, and service reliability. Here is a province willing to embrace the advantages of their location, and pool together the efforts of private and public sectors to establish a highly efficient transportation system that will not only boost their economy now, but create a reliable infrastructure system that will benefit Canadian families and the economy for years to come. Opportunity knocks at our door With similar industrial utilities, access to the last U.S. west coast deep water port that doesn't require dredging, a site already zoned for heavy industry, and a company willing to invest $600 million in our community, we have to ask: shouldn't we be doing the same? Our community is in dire need of jobs. According to the Whatcom County Opportunity Council's 2011 Prosperity Report, "Seventy percent of respondents reported finding it hard to get or keep a job," with nearly two-thirds of those reporting that the reason for this is there's not enough living-wage jobs.6 We cannot stand by as our community continues to suffer economically and our country drives itself further into debt. As a nation rich in natural and agricultural resources, we clearly have the commodities-all we need is an efficient pathway to get them to foreign markets and a workforce more than ready to get back on the job. The Gateway Pacific Terminal will put 3,500 to 4,400 local construction and industry workers back to work, while generating $74 to $92 million in local and state tax revenues just during the two-year construction period. This project is a rare opportunity to say the least, and one that may very well propel us toward economic recovery. Growing demand for U.S. commodities With British Columbia's ambitious expansion goals, keep in mind they're not the only ones tapping into foreign markets. On a recent visit to Seattle, BNSF CEO, Matt Rose, stated, "Coal is going to be shipped...If the coal doesn't come from this country, it's going to come from Indonesia, it's going to come from South America....So if anybody thinks we're not going to permit a coal terminal and that that's going to solve China from burning coal, I don't think they understand how global logistics markets work."7 With Canada's plans for expansion, it's clear that Rose is right on track. British Columbia bulk exports are expected to grow significantly-and the number one commodity currently being shipped by our neighbors to the north? Coal--much of which already travels through Whatcom County on its way to B.C ports. This is consistent with the observation made by Richard Morse, the director of research on coal and carbon markets at Stanford University, who stated, "By importing U.S. coal, China is not changing the amount of coal it burns I understand why on an emotional level people don't like it. But if you actually understand the economics, and understand how climate change works, it's a non-issue."8 Although currently there's a high demand for U.S.

    Barker Letter Book Volume 1 Page(s) 1 - 4 AEmilius Jarvis November 8, 1905 McKinnon Building, Toronto, Ont. Dear Sir:- None of your valued favors unanswered. I have heard nothing recently from Mr. R. Kelly regarding any action taken by Mr. Sloan, as the result of your meeting the Government. As I informed you, I called on Mr. Kelly immediately on receipt of your letter containing the memorandum of what the Government agreed to do, providing Mr. Sloan endorsed it, and the request that he wire his endorsement, or better, that he go East and stay there until the Order in Council was made. I told Mr. Kelly that our Company would guarantee any expense attached to the trip. The next day Mr. Kelly sent up for a copy of the Memorandum for Mr. Sloan: I sent it together with extracts from your letter, and asked Mr. Kelly to arrange for a meeting with Mr. Sloan, as I would like to talk over the matter with him, but have heard nothing from either Mr. Kelly or Mr. Sloan. I however, have seen both the Wallace Bros., and Mr. R. Drainey and they have seen both Kelly and Sloan, they and the Bell-Irvings have given me to understand that they have endorsed all we have said and done. I have seen Mr. Sweeny several times since his return, he seems to agree with what has been done, but seems to think the newly appointed Commission should act in the matter and that the Government will follow their recommendations. In the meantime the people who intend building at Rivers Inlet and Skeena are going ahead with their preparations.

  • COAST SALISH SENSES of PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World
    COAST SALISH SENSES OF PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World by BRIAN DAVID THOM Department of Anthropology, McGill University, Montréal March, 2005 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Brian Thom, 2005 Abstract This study addresses the question of the nature of indigenous people's connection to the land, and the implications of this for articulating these connections in legal arenas where questions of Aboriginal title and land claims are at issue. The idea of 'place' is developed, based in a phenomenology of dwelling which takes profound attachments to home places as shaping and being shaped by ontological orientation and social organization. In this theory of the 'senses of place', the author emphasizes the relationships between meaning and power experienced and embodied in place, and the social systems of property and territory that forms indigenous land tenure systems. To explore this theoretical notion of senses of place, the study develops a detailed ethnography of a Coast Salish Aboriginal community on southeast Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Through this ethnography of dwelling, the ways in which places become richly imbued with meanings and how they shape social organization and generate social action are examined. Narratives with Coast Salish community members, set in a broad context of discussing land claims, provide context for understanding senses of place imbued with ancestors, myth, spirit, power, language, history, property, territory and boundaries. The author concludes in arguing that by attending to a theorized understanding of highly local senses of place, nuanced conceptions of indigenous relationships to land which appreciate indigenous relations to land in their own terms can be articulated.

He was quick to respond to tight deadlines and provided valuable feedback through early iterations of the TOD Walkshed Map. We would also like to thank Rebeccah Maskin and Stefan Coe of PSRC. Rebeccah’s thorough understanding of the land use data and its processing was invaluable in our efforts to arrive at defensible transit-supportive density numbers. Stefan provided the data necessary to get us started as well as the Python script used to create the 2012 slope-constrained walksheds. Dan Landes of Shelter Resources, Inc. provided valuable insight during the design considerations phase of the project, and important input after testing the penultimate version of the online TOD Walkshed Map. Contacts who provided transit data include Kit Na Davies and Jeff Anderson with Community Transit, Ruth Kinchen of Metro Transit, Erin Hunter and Teri Lapetino of Sound Transit, and Sabina Pope of Everett Transit. Thank you for going out of your way to figure out ways to send large datasets. Your help is greatly appreciated. We would like to recognize Ryan Curren and Elliott Barnett’s thoughtful comments on how the TOD Walkshed Map might be used by them and their colleagues. Thank you, Ryan and Elliott, for taking time out of your busy schedules to help us envision where our project will go after we hand it off.

  • Advocates Push for Passenger Rail Stop in Blaine | the Northern Light
    Advocates push for passenger rail stop in Blaine | The Northern Light https://web.archive.org/web/20190718003404/https://www.thenort... JJuullyy 1177,, 22001199 Bookmark This Site Advocates push for passenger rail stop in Blaine By Jami Makan Advocates of an Amtrak passenger rail stop in Blaine met over the weekend, but organizers cautioned that much work remains to be done before it becomes a reality. A meeting hosted by rail advocacy group All Aboard Washington (AAWA) took place on July 13 at the Semiahmoo Resort. The turnout was high, with many in the audience arguing that an Amtrak passenger rail stop in Blaine is long overdue. On the Amtrak Cascades service, there are currently no stops between Fairhaven Station in Bellingham and Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, B.C. The event featured presentations by Bruce Agnew, director of the Cascadia Center; Dr. Laurie Trautman, director of Western Washington University’s Border Policy Research Institute (BPRI); and others.
