Grand Manan medevac company grounded, military helicopter called in to transport patient

Province working on getting island exempted from new Transport Canada rules

The province is stepping in after Grand Manan's local medevac service was grounded, and a military search and rescue helicopter had to transport a patient to hospital this week.

Transport Canada rule changes that require the local company, Atlantic Charters, to more than double its pilot fleet to keep providing medevac services came into effect on Monday.

Ambulance New Brunswick and Atlantic Charters have been in contract negotiations because of the change, but were not able to agree on terms before the deadline. 

Because of this, the company said it's no longer able to transport residents to hospital using its specialized medevac plane, and residents say they continue to fear delays in getting emergency health care.

On Friday, Health Minister Bruce Fitch said the province will apply to Transport Canada to designate Grand Manan Island a remote location, exempting it from the new rules.

"The rules are quite difficult, especially in a remote area like a Grand Manan," Fitch told reporters. "We're pushing on all ministers related to that."

When asked why it took so long to make this application, Fitch said, "the work has been started well before this," and negotiations between Ambulance New Brunswick and Atlantic Charters are continuing.

"Our department had put the two sides together with the mediator trying to work out some of the differences," he said.

Weather stopped air ambulance

On Wednesday, a resident needed emergency transportation to hospital in Saint John, and the local company couldn't help because the new rules were in effect and it did not have the resources it needed to comply.

Ambulance New Brunswick has an air ambulance based in Moncton, but the weather and freezing rain meant it couldn't get to the island, vice-president Jean-Pierre Savoie said in an emailed statement.

That's when Ambulance New Brunswick asked the Canadian Forces Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Nova Scotia for help. CFB Greenwood's search-and-rescue cormorant transported the patient.

The patient was getting care at the Grand Manan Hospital when the helicopter was called in. Savoie did not say how soon the ambulance responded or how long the trip to the mainland hospital took.

"We're grateful these contingency plans worked as they were intended," he said.

Grand Manan Mayor Bonnie Morse has previously called on Ambulance New Brunswick and Atlantic Charters to come to an agreement, because losing local medevac could mean significant delays.

The issues in dispute in the contract negotiatons have not been made public.

Morse said the main concern residents have is that it takes much longer for an air ambulance to fly to Grand Manan, pick up a patient, and fly to the mainland, compared to a local company having to make one flight from the island to the mainland. This is especially a problem in periods of fog and bad weather, she said.

She said concern from residents has only grown worse since the deadline passed.

"There's a lot of anxiety here," she said. "If something happens to me or someone in my family today, and I need medical care that requires going to the mainland, we don't have that same confidence that that's going to happen as easily today as it would've last Friday."

Morse said luckily the person who needed the emergency flight Wednesday is in hospital and in stable condition.

"Really, that is the important part of everything," she said.

Peter Sonnenberg, vice-president of Atlantic Charters, confirmed that under the new regulations, the company is unable to accept medevacs without the additional crew. It otherwise would not be in compliance, he said.

Before the rules came into effect, Sonnenberg said the company needed to have four pilots to provide uninterrupted service. After looking at the new rules and doing the math, he said the company now needs 11 pilots. 

The new rules, he said, make it mandatory for pilots to have 24 hours off if they've been on duty for three 12-hour shifts in three days.

The new rules basically minimize the chances of a pilot saying they can't fly because they're too tired.

Morse previously said Atlantic Charters had 100 medevac flights last year. That would equal about 100 hours a year of flying for the four pilots back then.

"We are saddened by the position we have all been put in, and look for a resolution with the province that benefits our community," he said in a statement.

Grand Manan residents worry about losing local medevac service

Ambulance N.B. still in negotiations with island aviation company about continuing service under new rules

Ambulance New Brunswick can't ease the minds of Grand Manan Island residents, who fear losing their medevac service.

The provincial ambulance service said Wednesday it can't comment on negotiations with Atlantic Charters — a contracted company based on the island that transports people to the mainland in case of medical emergency. 

In response to a request for information about the negotiation timeline, outstanding issues and what happens if issues aren't resolved, Jean-Pierre Savoie, the vice-president of of Ambulance New Brunswick, sent an emailed statement.

 "Ambulance New Brunswick has been in ongoing discussions with Atlantic Charters, but we are unable to comment on the specifics of those conversations at this time as talks continue," he said.

Grand Manan Mayor Bonnie Morse said the islanders' main concern is that if negotiations go beyond December, when new transportation regulations come in, then residents will lose their local medevac service.

That means residents will have to depend on Ambulance New Brunswick's air ambulance program, which is run from the mainland and may not be as fast.

"With our weather and the fog, it's not always accessible for that plane to come and land on the island, which is the advantage of having a local company because it's easier to leave in an airplane than it is sometimes to come back."

The new regulations make changes to pilot duty times, and necessitated a contract renegotiation. Savoie did not say whether the negotiations means Atlantic Charters service will completely halt in December.

Savoie said Ambulance N.B.'s air ambulance program is available for every part of the province, including Grand Manan.

"We are committed to continuing with these important discussions regarding services for Grand Manan," he said.

Stalled negotiations between Atlantic Charters and Ambulance New Brunswick could mean the Medevac service the company has provided for decades on Grand Manan could come to an end. Host Julia Wright speaks with Grand Manan Mayor Bonnie Morse about what the loss could mean and what council is doing to try to save the service.

Morse said whatever happens with the contract, her main concern is that the 2,300 people on the island can still get medical attention even if the weather is bad.

She said the medevac service is essential during medical emergencies, which the local hospital is not equipped to deal with.

"Stroke patients, they can actually bypass the hospital and go directly to the airport when they're assessed by the ambulance. And so it gets them to treatment in a much more timely fashion," she said. "For strokes, it is a really critical situation."

CBC News requested comment from Minister of Health Bruce Fitch, but he was not available Wednesday.

I did try hard to talk to you last fall. Ask David Rodenhiser. That said I think you Emera dudes are crazy not to at least try to settle with me before I decided to raise the stakes in your wicked game. Please don't think me dumb I saw you checking me out whilst we talked and I could tell that you believed every word I said. 
 
FYI the reason I was so pissed off was a few days earlier a host of very corrupt cops in seven cars pounced my son and I at 2:30 in the morning right after the David Alward and the PCs won their big mandate. As you can see I have reloaded some of my old videos that were maliciously deleted just as the writ was dropped. Surf through and you will see your face Mr Spurr You seemed like an ok guy on the phone but so did the former Attorney General Mikey Murphy before he and his pals sent all the corrupt cops to attack me. If nothing you should deny that we talked on the 6th and that quite some time before I opted to upload a video about you Ermera dudes again and reintroduce myself to big talking activists in BC.

Nova Scotia Power calls for end to feuding with provincial government

'We've got to stop this fighting,' Nova Scotia Power president says

 
Paul Withers· CBC News · Posted: Dec 16, 2022 5:07 PM AT

Nova Scotia Power is calling for a meeting "as soon as possible" with the provincial government, saying a broken relationship threatens its ability to meet renewable energy targets — and its bottom line.

"We need to work closely with the provincial government, put our differences aside, work through the differences, whatever it takes," Nova Scotia Power president Peter Gregg said Friday.

"I do believe we have the same interests, but we've got to stop this fighting."

Gregg asked for the meeting in a Dec. 13 letter to the ministers of finance, environment and climate change and natural resources and renewables.

The company's call for a truce comes in the midst of a contentious regulatory hearing into its application for a 14 per cent power rate increase over two years.

Premier Tim Houston's office said Friday the government will decide in the new year whether it will meet with the utility.

"I will reiterate our government's position on power rates," spokesperson Catherine Klimek said in a statement. "We're committed to protecting ratepayers as best we can and ensure they have access to clean, reliable electricity at a fair price."

'Already difficult situation'

Gregg's blunt letter outlines Nova Scotia Power's objections to the conduct of the Houston government that includes Bill 212, the law that imposed a 1.8 per cent cap on non-fuel costs.

It was passed before the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board had finished reviewing the evidence.

"We remain deeply concerned that political intervention in the regulatory process, lack of consultation with NSP on energy and climate policy and continued comments in the media not only highlight the lack of a productive working relationship, but they also risk further exacerbating an already difficult situation," Gregg wrote.

Bill 212 required the revenue generated by the increase to be spent only on upgrading the electrical grid and stops spending on renewable projects needed to transition off coal.

The company paused work on large-scale battery storage, a wind-power procurement and upgrading the grid connection with New Brunswick, a first step in the Atlantic Loop — a regional energy corridor.

"We are concerned that there is a disconnect between what the government would like to achieve in their climate plan and Bill 212 which restricts the investments the utility can make in order to help facilitate the achievement of the goals," he wrote.

Nova Scotia Power is supposed to close its coal-fired generation plants by 2030, when 80 per cent of its electricity must come from renewable sources.

"It doesn't seem achievable at this point," Gregg said. "I'm not confident we can reach that.

"Can I get myself to a place that we could ultimately do it? Yes. But again … we need to be shoulder to shoulder with the province on this."

Credit rating crash will cost up to $30M a year

Another source of friction is the credit rating downgrade triggered by the rate cap.

Nova Scotia Power says the company will pay up to $30 million more in higher interest payments annually once existing debt is refinanced.

"The NSP team made every effort to advise your government that the unprecedented interference into an independent regulatory process would result in the credit downgrade that has now happened," Gregg wrote.

The province is unapologetic, saying the company can take lower profits.

Gregg called that misleading since, like every other regulated utility, profits are set by a regulator to attract money needed for capital projects. He said Nova Scotia Power has spent $3.7 billion on its electrical system in the last 12 years.

"The expectation of a reasonable return for investors is what allows for the raising of capital at the lowest possible cost," Gregg wrote.

The province has shown no interest in peace. It accused the company of greed and incompetence this week in a closing submission in the rate case.

December 13, 2022
Ministers Rushton, MacMaster and Halman,
On behalf of the Nova Scotia Power (NSP) team and our customers, I am requesting a meeting 
to discuss the very important issues facing our province. I know we have a shared commitment 
to doing the right thing for Nova Scotians, not only today but into the future. However, we 
remain deeply concerned that political intervention in the regulatory process, lack of 
consultation with NSP on energy and climate policy and continued comments in the media not 
only highlight the lack of a productive working relationship, but they also risk further 
exacerbating an already difficult situation. In the face of the climate crisis and the important 
work ahead, it’s in the best interests of Nova Scotians if we find solutions together.
As you know, Bill 212 directly resulted in a strong response from capital markets and 
extraordinary credit downgrade for NSP, directly and indirectly imposing additional costs on NSP 
customers. Leading up to the passage of Bill 212, the NSP team made every effort to advise your 
government that the unprecedented interference into an independent regulatory process would 
result in the credit downgrade that has now happened. It is estimated that the downgrade will 
cost Nova Scotians $20-30 million annually once all existing debt is refinanced. 
Unfortunately, this situation is not stabilized and any further political interference continues to 
present additional risk and could lead to more actions from rating agencies and more 
unnecessary costs for customers. 
I’d also like to address recent comments in the media by Minister Rushton. Suggesting that NSP 
should simply use “profit” to cover the increased costs resulting from Bill 212 is misleading. This 
is not the way costs are managed in investor-owned regulated utilities. Consistent with every 
single regulated utility in North America, all costs are recovered in customer rates, including 
costs that are imposed by government actions, like those associated with Bill 212.
It is important to understand that as a rate-regulated, cost of service utility, our business is 
appropriately held to a standard by the regulator that ensures every decision and cost is in the 
best interest of customers. This is unlike almost any other private company, including power 
developers and independent power producers in the province. 
Any return to shareholders is set by the regulator at a level that is considered “reasonable” with 
the goal to minimize costs to customers while still enabling the attraction of the capital needed 
for investment in the system. The capital investments we make, the costs we incur, and any 
profit earned are scrutinized for reasonableness by the regulator. Any return that is paid to �

 PO Box 910 ● Halifax, Nova Scotia ● Canada ● B3J 2W5
2 of 3
shareholders is not guaranteed, it must be earned through prudent management of costs, and 
this is an integral part of the rate-setting process done by the regulator. 
The expectation of a reasonable return for investors is what allows for the raising of capital at 
the lowest possible cost, and this is what then enables us to invest in the system and to build a
modern resilient grid that will facilitate the adoption of more renewables, increase reliability for 
customers, enable the closure of coal units and invest in new technologies -- all at the lowest 
cost for customers. 
Just as a steady income is required for an individual to obtain a mortgage, a predictable return is 
required for a utility to raise capital. Without that return, investors will not provide the capital 
necessary to operate and improve the system. 
Over the past twelve years, NSP has invested a total of $3.7 Billion of capital in the electricity 
system of the province. That is over $310 million invested in the system each year to benefit our 
customers. This is level of investment that takes place when investors have confidence in our 
company and in the independent regulator, and it is an amount that far exceeds the reasonable 
‘profit’ set and controlled by the independent regulator. 
We understand that no one wants to see an increase in electricity rates but it’s a reality given 
the need to invest in a cleaner and more resilient energy system. It is also a reflection of the 
current economic conditions, where the combined impacts of high global fuel prices and 
inflation are driving the costs higher in all jurisdictions. The current General Rate Application 
before the regulator is the first in ten years. It’s a critical time at the utility and the political 
intervention of Bill 212 just delays needed investment and creates a “bow wave” of costs down 
the road for customers, meaning that in future the costs and necessary rate increases will be 
higher than if we tackle these challenges together now. 
The NSP team works incredibly hard for Nova Scotians each and every day. We’ve been 
executing on a strategy to build a greener energy system in NS for almost 20 years – it’s not just 
what we do, it’s part of our culture. While the Government’s climate plan has a lot of the right 
ideas, as the owners and operators of the province’s energy grid, we have an important role to 
play in Nova Scotia’s energy transition. This is a role that we take very seriously and it's a reality 
that extends beyond the issues of the day. We are concerned that there is a disconnect between 
what the government would like to achieve in their climate plan and Bill 212 which restricts the 
investments the utility can make in order to help facilitate the achievement of the goals. �

 PO Box 910 ● Halifax, Nova Scotia ● Canada ● B3J 2W5

There is important and urgent work ahead for Nova Scotia. We need your government to 
engage with us directly in a more positive and productive way as we move forward. We want to 
work constructively with you and your colleagues to develop meaningful, long-term, and 
enduring solutions for the province. We can achieve better outcomes for customers if we work 
together. That’s what Nova Scotians expect of both of us.
I respectfully ask that we meet as soon as possible.

Nova Scotia government lashes out at Nova Scotia Power — again

Houston government doubles down on criticisms of utility in closing submission to regulators

The Houston government doubled down on its criticisms of Nova Scotia Power Wednesday in a scathing closing submission to regulators currently weighing a proposed 14 per cent electricity rate increase over two years.

The province used the filing to justify its imposition of a 1.8 per cent rate cap on non-fuel costs, accusing the company of gouging ratepayers while providing unreliable service.

The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board is deciding on a proposed rate settlement reached between the company and representatives of major customer groups after the provincial government imposed the rate cap through Bill 212.

In its 19-page closing submission to the board, the Department of Natural Resources and Renewables said the company was "delinquent" in failing to adequately trim trees to keep fallen branches from taking out power lines during storms.

"The impact of NSP's failure to sufficiently invest in vegetation management was keenly felt by ratepayers following Hurricane Fiona, which struck the evening the [general rate application] hearing concluded. Thousands of Nova Scotians were left without power for days or weeks," the department said.

The province accused the company of sacrificing ratepayers for profits.

"There is no reasonable justification to allow NSP to receive greater profits when Nova Scotians are facing significant inflationary pressures, and NSP is failing to deliver reliable service," the department said.

"During harsh economic times, it is unreasonable to impose further hardship on ratepayers to enhance corporate returns."

It also highlighted the failure of the Muskrat Falls hydro project in Labrador to deliver contracted amounts of hydro electricity, forcing Nova Scotia Power to buy higher-priced fuel to provide power.

"Ratepayers are being asked to pay for investments in failed or disappointing projects at the same time they face inflated costs for replacement fuels. Moreover, when these increased fuel costs are deferred, NSP again benefits from interest on fuel deferrals. NSP profits from poor investments at the same time ratepayers are forced to pay more for NSP's mistakes," the department said.

The department also repeated a call made by Premier Tim Houston to reject the settlement agreement reached between Nova Scotia Power and customer group representatives.

(CBC)

"The terms of the settlement agreement increase rates and contravene the purpose, spirit, and intent of Bill 212."

In her closing submission lawyer Nancy Rubin, representing large industrial customers, said the settlement accommodates the material impact of Bill 212 and "is reasonable, fair, equitable and in the best interest of ratepayers."

Limitations

Consumer advocate Bill Mahody said the deal imposes limits on some items Nova Scotia Power was seeking.

A proposed storm rider to pay for extreme weather was given a three-year term, turning it into a trial period. And a proposed decarbonization deferral account is limited to writing off Nova Scotia Power's fossil fuel plants.

"The Settlement Agreement represents the outcome of discussions among the vast majority of active participants in this matter, and it has the support of all ratepayer advocates," Mahody said in his submission.

"Further, the Settlement Agreement is comprehensive, addressing virtually all of the matters in contention before the Board."

Critic of 'overly generous' Nova Scotia Power profits worried about rate cap

'I don't think anybody anticipated that the province would impose a restriction like this,' says business prof

An expert in Canadian electric utilities says the Houston government's decision to impose a cap on Nova Scotia Power's rates, spending and profits "shocked" him.

"I don't think anybody anticipated that the province would impose a restriction like this," says University of Toronto business professor Laurence Booth.

"I was shocked."

Booth provided expert testimony for the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board during regulatory hearings into Nova Scotia Power's application for higher rates in September — before the province imposed a 1.8 per cent rate cap on non-fuel costs.

The province said it was acting to protect ratepayers.

Legislation also limited Nova Scotia Power profits and required revenue generated by the 1.8 per cent increase be spent only on strengthening the electrical grid. The province suggested the company eat extra costs not covered in rates by lowering its profits.

A critic of overly generous profits

"I do sympathize with the provincial government," Booth said.

Booth said Canadian utilities have long reaped overly generous returns for too little risk — a criticism he levelled at Nova Scotia Power in testimony during the rate application.

But Booth says political intervention like this is "a repeated problem" in the United States and rare in Canada, where utilities recover their costs in return for slightly lower rates of return.

Laurence Booth is a business professor at the University of Toronto. (CBC)

"I think in many cases that's a little bit generous, but that's the regulatory compact."

Booth says the province stepped on an independent regulator doing its job, sorting through a very expensive transition away from fossil fuels mandated by federal and provincial governments.

Nova Scotia Power is entitled to recover the cost of the coal-fired plants built to generate electricity and the renewable energy sources required by governments.

Credit rating shot

"The result is electricity users in Nova Scotia are going to be paying twice, once for the coal plants that are no longer used and useful, and again for alternative production," Booth said.

"Nova Scotia Power has got legitimate grief here and the board is stuck between a rock and a hard place, trying to implement policy in a reasonable way consistent with what every other regulatory board in Canada has done and they've just been sideswiped."

The rate cap triggered a credit rating downgrade, shutting Nova Scotia Power out of the commercial paper market — basically an IOU issued by corporations with excellent credit ratings — to cover short-term spending.

Its long-term credit is now one notch above junk bond status.

"What I fear is that the rating agencies like Dominion Bond Rating Services and Standard & Poor's, they're going to say, well, perhaps Canada isn't the safe, conservative regulatory environment that we thought it was, and they'll revise their opinion not just for Nova Scotia, but for every other utility in Canada," he said.

After the province imposed its rate cap, Nova Scotia Power and lawyers representing its major customer groups and some advocacy groups reached a settlement that would see rates increase by 14 per cent over two years which includes higher fuel costs incurred by the utility.

Deadline Wednesday for final submissions in rate case

Nova Scotia Power insists the settlement adheres to the rate cap.

The proposed rate is currently before the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board.

The deadline for final submissions is Wednesday.

Premier Tim Houston has called on regulators to reject the proposed increase, but has not said what the government will do if regulators accept the settlement.

Nova Scotia Power credit rating woes continue

Source of short-term financing cut off by credit rating downgrade, company says

Nova Scotia Power is reporting more fallout from the provincial government rate cap, saying the credit rating downgrade triggered by the cap has shut off a key source of short-term financing.

Last month, rating agency S&P Global dropped the utility's credit rating to just above junk bond status and downgraded another credit category, known as Canadian commercial paper, which provides short-term financing to businesses and government agencies.

The downgrade was in response to Bill 212, passed by the Progressive Conservative government in November, that limits electricity rate increases to 1.8 per cent for everything other fuel and energy efficiency program costs.

Increased revenue must be dedicated to strengthening the electrical grid and profits are also capped by the law. It was imposed in the midst of rate hearings held by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB).

S&P saw the "unprecedented political intervention as significantly detrimental to NSPI's credit quality because it impairs the regulator's ability to act independently to protect the utility's credit quality, undermining the regulatory construct and the utility's cash flow predictability."

Nova Scotia Power says "for the first time in the company's history," it has now been excluded from the commercial paper market. That market deals in unsecured debt issued by a company for short-term costs like payroll or accounts payable.

"NS Power is currently in the process of attempting to regain access to the commercial paper market," the company said in evidence filed this week with the UARB.

"However, if the company is unsuccessful, this will make short-term borrowing more expensive for NS Power as access to the commercial paper market has saved customers significant financing costs as compared to traditional loans and revolving credit lines."

Greg Blunden, chief financial officer of parent company Emera, says Nova Scotia Power usually has about $400 million in short-term borrowing which now costs one per cent or more in higher interest.

He said that would be between $3 million and $4 million "of incremental interest expense that we would pay that we otherwise would not have paid."

Nova Scotia Power also told regulators it is on the precipice of losing its investment-grade credit rating.

Province unmoved

"A loss of investment grade credit rating status would have a significant and dramatic impact on Nova Scotia Power's ability to access capital and the associated borrowing costs to be borne by customers."

Blunden said the downgrade comes as no surprise.

"Investors are nervous, they're uncomfortable," he said. "They see this as unprecedented in North America in our sector and as a result of that are really challenging us and asking themselves whether or not they should move their capital to other jurisdictions and I think we're seeing that."

The province is aware, but unmoved by the consequences for Nova Scotia Power's credit rating downgrade.

"I do understand that our legislation has put Nova Scotia Power into that position," acknowledged Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables Tory Rushton on Thursday. "Nova Scotia Power has made more than $125 million profit for the last 12 years, every year. Every other company right now, with the times that we're in, has had to make changes. I expect Nova Scotia Power to be no different."

Protecting ratepayers

Rushton repeated the talking point he has used, along with Premier Tim Houston, since the rate cap was introduced: the government is acting to protect ratepayers.

Even with the rate cap, Nova Scotia Power and its customer groups have agreed to a 14 per cent rate increase over two years, which must be approved by the UARB.

Houston has written to the regulator, urging the UARB to reject the settlement.

Despite the lower value of Nova Scotia Power, Blunden says Emera has no intention of unloading it.

"We're not going to sell Nova Scotia Power," he said.

"It's our home. We care very much about the business. We care very much about our customers. We're committed to Nova Scotia."

Rates could rise 14% over 2 years under settlement between Nova Scotia Power, customers

Settlement still needs to be approved by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board

Nova Scotia Power and its customers have reached a settlement that would see rates rise by nearly 14 per cent over the next two years.

If approved by regulators, rates would rise by 6.9 per cent in 2023 and 6.9 per cent in 2024 — the same amount on the table when hearings before the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB) ended in September.

The settlement now goes to the UARB for approval.

"It'll be over to the board to determine whether or not the settlement itself is in the public interest, and everyone who participated in the hearing will have an opportunity to make representations on that point," said consumer advocate Bill Mahody, who represents Nova Scotia Power residential customers before regulators.

The agreement announced Thursday night takes into account the 1.8 per cent cap on non-fuel costs imposed through Bill 212 by the province's Progressive Conservative government after the hearings.

That legislation does not limit fuel adjustment costs, which Nova Scotia power was seeking for the next two years to cover the rising price of oil, gas and coal used to generate electricity. The utility had warned that adjustment could boost residential rates between 9.6 and 12 per cent.

The new agreed-on increase covers those fuel costs and includes increased spending on energy efficiency programs, which the province has also allowed.

Lawyers representing residential, small businesses and large industrial customers signed on to the settlement. As did the Ecology Action Centre and the Affordable Energy Coalition.

"The 6.9 per cent in the circumstances represents a reasonable rate increase given the revenue requirement that was testified to at the hearing," said Mahody.

Province not part of negotiations

The province did not participate in the negotiations.

In a statement Thursday night, the Department of Natural Resources and Renewables said it was unaware of the specific details and will have to review the terms of the agreement.

"We put legislation in to protect ratepayers, and we will continue to protect them. Anything that results in higher rates and potentially circumvents the purpose of our legislation will certainly require a close look," the department said.

In a news release, Nova Scotia Power president Peter Gregg said "we appreciate the collaboration of customer representatives to reach the proposed settlement filed today, as we adhere to the direction provided by the provincial government through Bill 212."

"There's no question this is a hard time for Nova Scotians and great attention must be paid to the current concerns over the rising cost of living, while also ensuring we maintain the most basic needs for a reliable electrical system," Gregg said.

Nova Scotia Power has withdrawn a proposed "earning sharing mechanism" that would have given the company half of excess profits earned above its approved rate of return, which is nine per cent.

Rate cap legislation

In accordance with the province's rate cap legislation, the rate of return has been capped at 9.25 per cent. The company had asked for a maximum of 9.5 per cent.

The settlement allows for a storm rider — or additional charge — on bills to pay for extreme weather, but the rider now ends in three years.

A so-called decarbonization account has been limited to writing off the cost of retiring coal plants pending further consultation with customer groups.

The elephant in the room that remains for ratepayers is fuel costs.

Rates in the settlement agreement do cover the outstanding fuel bill — estimated at $516 million in 2023 and 2024.

The settlement confirms that Nova Scotia Power will apply next year to begin to recover those costs, with an expectation that recovery will be spread out over time.

The settlement comes in the same week Nova Scotia Power had its credit rating cut two notches by S&P Global.

The rating agency blamed the rate cap, which it said was an act of unprecedented political interference in a regulated utility.

Emera puts clean energy projects in Nova Scotia on hold after rate cap

Provincial government imposed a rate cap on Nova Scotia Power's parent company last month

Emera Inc. is putting capital spending on clean energy projects in Nova Scotia on hold as it works through the consequences of the Nova Scotia government's imposed rate cap on the parent company of Nova Scotia Power.

In a conference call to discuss the power utility's latest financial results, Emera chief executive Scott Balfour said Friday that while the company will continue to make investments in safety and reliability of its network, it won't be able to spend on other projects in the province due to the cap.

"The last capital plan included $500 million in planned investment in the Eastern Clean Energy Initiative, including the Atlantic Loop, to fund new wind generation, transmission, infrastructure upgrades and battery storage to help facilitate the transition away from coal-fired generation," he said.

"Given the restrictions imposed by Bill 212, these cleaner energy investments have been forced to be put on hold as our capital investments at Nova Scotia Power are now required to only focus on maintaining system reliability."

Scott Balfour is CEO of Emera, Nova Scotia Power's parent company. (CBC)

The Atlantic Loop is a proposed $5-billion transmission megaproject, which would give the region more access to Labrador and Quebec hydroelectricity.

The company had applied for a nearly 14 per cent rate hike over two years with the provincial regulator earlier this year, but the province stepped in and passed legislation to limit the power rate increase to 1.8 per cent over the next two years, excluding increases linked to fuel costs.

The changes to the Public Utilities Act also took aim at the utility's profit by preventing the regulator from approving a rate of return on equity any higher than 9.25 per cent, compared with the up to 9.5 per cent requested by Nova Scotia Power.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said last month on Twitter his government would "take the necessary steps to protect you from unfair rate increases while helping to ensure your lights stay on."

However, Emera says the restrictions means it won't be able to invest in what it called decarbonization efforts in Nova Scotia even as it does so elsewhere in its business.

"We remain deeply concerned about the long-term impacts of this legislation to Nova Scotia Power customers as it delays the clean energy transition and will ultimately result in higher, not lower, costs for customers," Balfour said.

Both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have committed to phasing out their coal-fired generation by 2030, while Nova Scotia has enshrined in law its goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to at least 53 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

The comments by Emera came as it reported a third-quarter profit of $167 million or 63 cents per share, compared with a loss of $70 million or 27 cents per share in the same quarter last year.

Operating revenue totalled nearly $1.84 billion for the quarter ending Sept. 30, up from nearly $1.15 billion in the same quarter last year.

On an adjusted basis, Emera said it earned 76 cents per share in its latest quarter, up from an adjusted profit of 68 cents per share in the third quarter of 2021.

Balfour said the growth in the company's earnings was principally driven by continued strong performance from its utilities in Florida.

Ottawa 'very committed' to Atlantic Loop electricity mega project despite pause

'We think it's very much part of the clean energy future of Atlantic Canada,' says Dominic LeBlanc

The federal government is confident the Atlantic Loop electricity corridor will proceed despite the parent company of Nova Scotia Power — Emera — hitting pause on the proposed multibillion-dollar mega project.

"If they decide to press pause, whatever that means for them, it doesn't stop engineering work and financial conversations from taking place with other utilities," Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in an interview Wednesday.

LeBlanc said negotiations are ongoing "to come to what we hope can be an agreement in principle in the first quarter of 2023."

"We remain very committed as a national government to the project. We think it's very much part of the clean energy future of Atlantic Canada."

The Atlantic Loop would enable the delivery of hydroelectricity from Labrador and Quebec into Maritime provinces that rely mostly on fossil fuels for electricity.

In Nova Scotia, the Loop is seen as key to meeting the legislated requirement to close all coal-fired electricity generating plants by 2030.

But the project's future became less clear last month when the CEO of Emera, Scott Balfour, told CBC News the company was putting the brakes on the Atlantic Loop because of electricity rate caps introduced in Nova Scotia by the Houston government.

The rate cap legislation, which also caps profits and limits spending, passed this week.

"That's one of the first projects that we've said to the team that, you know, we have to push pause on for now," Balfour said Oct. 19.

"There isn't enough money in order to continue to pursue that, let alone the ability for us to go to the investment community and say, you know, 'Please invest more money in Nova Scotia,' in order to enable that kind of project of that kind of scale."

Later this week, Emera will release what projects it intends to cut because of the Nova Scotia Power rate cap when it releases its three-year capital spending plan.

LeBlanc said he's talked to Premier Tim Houston about Nova Scotia's "very legitimate concerns around electricity and power rates."

    At Province House in Halifax on Wednesday, Nova Scotia Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton welcomed federal Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc's vote of confidence in the project. (CBC)

"I totally understand that concern of his government, and he and his utility will obviously find a way through that," said LeBlanc.

LeBlanc's message was to get on with it.

"Where the government of Canada is prepared to be a significant partner in this project, the failure to take this opportunity does not augur well for power rates either. So the problem is not going to go away if people stick their heads in the sand."

Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton, who introduced the Nova Scotia Power rate cap, welcomed LeBlanc's vote of confidence in the project since federal spending is needed to make it happen.

"The biggest portion of funding that we're going to be looking for is from the federal government. It's a capital project. So I'm certainly hopeful that this is encouraging words for Emera and Nova Scotia Power to stay at the table, which they were last week," Rushton said in an interview Wednesday. 

LeBlanc would not say how the federal government would fund the Atlantic Loop.

 Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc said he is confident the Atlantic Loop will go ahead. (CBC)

He said the Canada Infrastructure Bank and the Department of Finance Canada are part of discussions.

"I think a project of this size and in the rather compressed timelines that we recognize it faces, we need to look at those financial structures in a creative and innovative way. So I would expect that a whole series of options would be part of those conversations."

LeBlanc said Emera is "obviously a key player, and Emera and Nova Scotia have to be part of the project for it to work," but relative to the overall scale of the Atlantic Loop, "Emera was not going to be one of the most significant potential partners in terms of capital investment."

When Emera publicly demurred on the project, Houston downplayed the prospects, saying it was only one way to reach renewable energy targets.

"The Loop discussions have been dragging on. There's always been lots of questions. The federal government has been cagey on how much they will fund, whether they will fund it," Houston said Oct. 21.

LeBlanc said it was a legitimate concern, but urged Houston to be patient.

"The scale of the project is enormous. The government of Canada is not in the electricity transmission business. So we need to rely on information that we're getting from provincial utilities, provincial energy departments. The good news is we're getting that information," LeBlanc said.

"Once we have that information from the provinces and their utilities, I'll be in that position to go to my cabinet colleagues and answer those very precise and legitimate questions that the premiers have in terms of the nature of the federal contribution, the structure of the federal contribution and of course the quantum. That's what everybody wants."

In a statement Wednesday in response to LeBlanc, Emera said the Atlantic Loop is a key part of the best, most effective path to retire coal plants in Nova Scotia — but one that requires federal support.

"The cost constraints, investment restrictions and increased investment risks imposed on Nova Scotia Power by Bill 212 are real. We know the Loop can only happen with the help of the federal government so our current situation is a challenge. We are working hard to try to see our way through that," spokesperson Dina Bartolacci Seely said in the statement to CBC News.

Houston says he'll intervene in future power rate increase applications if necessary

Consumer advocate has expressed concern about long-term consequences of Bill 212

Premier Tim Houston says legislation his government is using to limit rate increases for Nova Scotia Power could be used again in the future if he decides it is required.

"We'll do whatever is necessary in any form, in any place, to protect Nova Scotians," Houston told reporters at Province House on Tuesday.

"My obligation is to Nova Scotians. That's where my obligation will always remain."

The premier's comments come a day after the province's consumer advocate expressed concern that Bill 212, which limits the rate increase the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board can award the utility for the next two years, shakes the independence of the board and could lead to higher rates in years to come.

Bill Mahody told the legislature's law amendments committee Monday that by restricting the rate increase to 1.8 per cent over the next two years, the government risks creating a market correction that would drive up Nova Scotia Power's borrowing costs and debt payments — circumstances that would ultimately fall to ratepayers to cover.

Premier Tim Houston says he's convinced Bill 212 will lead to more affordable power for Nova Scotians. (CBC)

Houston said officials with his government "considered every possibility" in drafting the legislation, which comes after the first rate hearings in more than a decade, but before the UARB could deliver its final ruling on the utility's application. 

The premier didn't answer directly when asked if he was convinced the bill would not lead to higher borrowing costs for Nova Scotians.

"I'm convinced it will lead to more affordable power for Nova Scotians and that's what my goal is," he said Tuesday.

Mahody was not the only presenter on Monday to express concerns about Bill 212. Nova Scotia Power CEO Peter Gregg said MLAs must choose between supporting the legislation or supporting the province's climate targets of generating 80 per cent of electricity from renewable sources and ending the use of coal for electricity generation by 2030.

Gregg said there is not an affordable, viable way for Nova Scotia Power to meet those targets without the Atlantic Loop and the hydroelectric power it would deliver to the province via Quebec.

Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton said he disagreed with Gregg's framing of the issue. Loop or no loop, he and Houston said they expect Nova Scotia Power to meet its targets.

Rushton said the constraints his government is placing on the UARB means whatever increase the board grants will amount to a cut for Nova Scotia Power when inflation is considered, but he said the company should be able to shoulder it.

"There is a profit margin there and other businesses around our province and around our country are taking part of their profits to ensure the longevity of their company," he told reporters.

"I expect Nova Scotia Power to do no different."

While Houston and Rushton downplayed Mahody's concerns, Liberal Leader Zach Churchill said they should be cause for pause.

Although he welcomes protection for ratepayers, Churchill said the government risks "cutting off their nose to spite their face" if Mahody's concerns about potential long-term financial pain are not thoroughly considered.

"I feel this government is very reactionary," Churchill told reporters.

"They're really driven to win the headlines of the day, and when you're making decisions like that, you can make some decisions that are bad for the long term of our province and have pretty grave consequences."

NDP Leader Claudia Chender said she is concerned about the government inserting itself into a process that is supposed to be independent.

"The premier seems to want to run the entire government off the side of his desk," she told reporters.

"There are really good reasons why we don't run governments out of one office but we have independent experts who help us to navigate the big decisions and the big dollars attached to government funding and decisions."

NDP Leader Claudia Chender says there are other ways the government can intervene in the UARB process without compromising the board's independence. (CBC)

Chender said the Tory legislation might bring short-term relief for Nova Scotia Power customers, but she said Houston is putting off a bill that will eventually come due the same way the Liberals did when they were in power.

The difference then was the Liberals prevented the UARB from hearing any general rate applications from Nova Scotia Power, while the Tories allowed the hearings to go ahead but stepped in to shape how the decision could look.

If the government wants to intervene around power rates, Chender said it should happen by allowing the UARB to consider a low-income rate based on people's income, creating penalties that can be used if the targets for getting off goal and increasing use of renewables are not met, and stiffening performance standards for Nova Scotia Power.

Nova Scotia will be less than a year from a provincial election when the constraints of Bill 212 expire.

Planned cap on Nova Scotia Power's rate increases would create more problems, MLAs told

Government intervention could have long-term implications, observers say

A proposed bill to cap rate increases for Nova Scotia Power for the next two years may bring short-term satisfaction for ratepayers, but would create a number of long-term problems, according to business and consumer advocates and the company alike.

Speakers appeared before a legislative committee to discuss Bill 212 on Monday, a proposed law that would prevent the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board from granting Nova Scotia Power a rate increase of more than 1.8 per cent over the next two years.

The bill would have no effect on a separate potential rate increase the company is also seeking that is tied to rising fuel costs.

Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton tabled the bill earlier this month after the company's general rate application hearing at the UARB. Rushton previously said he wanted to allow that process to play out, but tabled the bill before the board delivered its decision.

Bill Mahody, the province's consumer advocate, said Bill 212 is problematic because it threatens the independence of the UARB.

Mahody told reporters rates are often set below what NSP has requested after an extensive review that cannot be replicated on the floor of the legislature.

"The fear is, that if you take a holiday from the type of diligent regulation we've had, that may substantially drive up your other costs that traditionally we've benefited from," he said.

"This bill, in a single piece of legislation, undoes a track record of regulator performance that's extensive."

For instance, Mahody said, ratepayers benefit from investor confidence in Nova Scotia's regulatory environment which keeps NSP's debt costs down.

That potentially goes out the window if rates can be set at the whim of a given government, he said.

Nova Scotia Power president Peter Gregg put the consequences of the bill in stark terms for MLAs: they could support  the temporary cap on rates, or they could support the 2030 climate goals that call for the company to end its use of coal to generate electricity and require the use of more renewables.

"You cannot logically support both."

Gregg said the climate action everyone wants from NSP costs money. He said the cap the Tories introduced would mean the reduction of about $150 million in revenue in the next two years compared to what was submitted in the company's rate application.

The company has said the increase it was seeking would amount to about $15 per month more for the average household by 2024.

"I'm not saying that $15 per month is pocket change, but what we are saying is that we need to have a clear conversation of what we're actually saving here."

No viable Plan B to Atlantic Loop

Gregg said a rate cap would force the company to cut capital spending and the proposed Atlantic loop, which would bring hydro power from Quebec into this province, has already been paused.

Gregg said the Atlantic Loop is the best shot for Nova Scotia Power to get off coal by 2030 and he does not see a viable Plan B that would achieve a similar result.

"While there may be technical solutions that could get us there, we're really focused on what is the most affordable and achievable solution, and it's very much at risk today."

Brian Gifford of the Affordable Energy Coalition said the UARB needs to consider a reduced energy rate for low-income customers, yet the proposed bill doesn't address that.

Gifford, who has called for the change in the past, noted that the province has the highest rates of energy poverty in the country and that about half of households are heated by fossil fuels.

"If now is not the time to create a regulated low-income rate relief program, when will there ever be a time," he asked MLAs, saying his group "could not be more frustrated."

Gifford was also unhappy that the government brought forward legislation without allowing the UARB to conclude its work, thus interfering with a process that is supposed to be independent.

The best long-term way to deal with energy poverty is through the electrification of transit and the greening of the power grid, said Gifford. He's worried the cap on rate increases will prevent NSP from hitting its efficiency targets by 2030.

"This is the opposite of long-term thinking," he said.

Halifax Chamber of Commerce president Patrick Sullivan said he has members who will welcome the short-term break the legislation will create, but he and many other members worry what the temporary pause means for the future. He also questioned the point of having an independent regulator if the government can sideline it at will.

"By the end of the two-year restriction period, will the current provincial government allow a significant rate hike approximately seven months before the 2025 provincial election?"

Emera is pausing the Atlantic Loop in the wake of power rate cap legislation

The company says the business climate in N.S. has changed as a result of the imposed rate cap

The parent company of Nova Scotia Power says it is pausing spending on the Atlantic Loop, claiming the business climate in its home province changed this week when the Houston government imposed a rate cap and other earning limits on its subsidiary.

Emera CEO Scott Balfour told CBC News the company is now rethinking capital spending, starting with the Atlantic Loop — a multi-billion dollar proposed energy corridor to connect the four Atlantic provinces to hydroelectricity from Quebec and Labrador.

The Atlantic Loop is a key part of the strategy to wean Nova Scotia off its reliance on burning fossil fuels to generate electricity.

"That's one of the first projects that we've said to the team that, you know, we have to push pause on for now," Balfour said. "There isn't enough money in order to continue to pursue that, let alone the ability for us to go to the investment community and say, you know, please invest more money in Nova Scotia in order to enable that kind of project of that kind of scale."

Emera is responding to amendments to the provincial Public Utilities Act introduced this week by Nova Scotia's Progessive Conservative government.

The legislation imposes a 1.8 per cent cap on electricity rate increases for two years — money that must be spent on operation and maintenance.

Fuel costs will continue to flow through to customers.

The amendments also cap the guaranteed rate of return at 9.25 per cent, ensure all excess profits be returned to ratepayers to lower their costs and limit the interest that Nova Scotia Power can charge ratepayers.

The amendments pre-empt — or "kneecap," in Balfour's view — an ongoing Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board hearing into Nova Scotia Power's first general rate application in a decade.

The company is seeking a 13.7 per cent increase over two years, with skyrocketing fuel costs still yet to be determined for 2024 and 2025.

'Very new territory'

Board members were set to deliver a decision on the complex case in the new year.

"This is very new territory in North America for a government to intervene in an independent regulatory process and one I'm deeply concerned about," Balfour said.

In a release this week, Emera said the amendments will result in "a material reduction" in the approximately $1 billion in capital spending planned by Nova Scotia Power in 2023 and 2024.

"The reductions imposed by this legislation will impede Emera and NS Power's ability to advance clean energy investments in the province which were specifically required to meet shared 2030 decarbonization goals. This includes planned investments such as wind generation, grid scale batteries, and enhancements to the interprovincial transmission system," Emera said.

Exactly where Emera plans to cut will become clear on Nov. 11, when the company releases its three-year capital spending plan in a call with investors.

To cut costs immediately, the company cancelled 60 new reliability-related jobs outlined in Nova Scotia Power's 2022 general rate application.

Government response to Atlantic Loop pause

The government was asked on Friday about Emera's decision to press pause on the Atlantic Loop and downplayed its significance.

"I'm not too worried about it to be honest," said Natural Resources and Renewables Minister Tory Rushton, who introduced the rate cap legislation.

"I'm disappointed that Emera and Nova Scotia Power would state that, to be quite honest. But there's many other conversations that can take place with other stakeholders that could be interested in that as well. But it's early days and there's still conversations going on," he said.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston acknowledged the importance of the Atlantic Loop saying it "would make it easier" to achieve the province's requirement that all electricity be from renewable sources by 2030.

"The Loop discussions have been dragging on. There's always been lots of questions. The federal government has been cagey on whether they'll fund it, how much they'll fund it.," he said.

"That's why we've always been focused on other ways to help us meet our targets: wind, solar, hydrogen."

Opposition reaction

Opposition parties that support the rate cap questioned whether the government was prepared for Emera's reaction.

"We've had questions about the Atlantic Loop for years and we have several times asked this government what's Plan B? And we've heard, 'Oh, there's Plan B, there's Plan B.' We've never heard what it is. Obviously it's concerning. We need to meet our targets," said NDP Leader Claudia Chender.

"It's clear that the government moved on a piece of legislation without thinking about what the consequences would be on that front," said Liberal Leader Zach Churchill.

Jacob Thompson with the Halifax-based environmental group Ecology Action Centre said the rate cap may help with affordability in the short term  but at a price.

"The risk of lowering the increase over the next two years is that we potentially put off our climate plans for two years or more," he said.

Emera shares dropped nearly five per cent Wednesday when the rate cap was announced. The stock was down another three per cent Thursday, closing at $49.99 a share

Emera's future in Halifax

Headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia Power generates just 15 per cent of Emera earnings.

Balfour would not answer directly when asked if Emera will remain in the province.

"It's impossible not to look through the lens of our continued investment and growth in Nova Scotia differently today than we did," he said. 

"Nova Scotia remains home, but our focus in terms of future growth and job creation and all those things, by necessity out of this legislation will increasingly focus elsewhere."

Emera is required to maintain a head office in the province because of legislation that privatized Nova Scotia Power in 1992. The requirement was carried over six years later in legislation that created a holding company, Emera, to hold the utility's assets.

Proposed legislation would limit rate increases for Nova Scotia Power

NSP says new law would hurt its plans to improve reliability of electrical system

Nova Scotians should prepare for a potentially significant jump in power rates, but it won't be to increase profits for Nova Scotia Power, if legislation proposed Wednesday is passed.

Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton tabled amendments to the Public Utilities Act on Wednesday that heads off a proposed rate increase Nova Scotia Power is seeking from the Utility and Review Board.

"For the next two years, we are controlling what we can control," Rushton told reporters during a bill briefing.

"With this legislation, we are giving the UARB the tools they need to ensure Nova Scotians pay the lowest cost possible for their power."

While the legislation would limit the potential increase to 1.8 per cent over two years, it does not address the effect major increases in fuel costs could have on rates. NSP recently tabled documents with the utility board showing residential rates could go up by 23 to 25 per cent over the next three years without some form of mitigation.

Rushton said fuel is an "unavoidable" cost that everyone, including the power corp, must deal with. He said the government is trying to soften the blow. The province recently provided relief to Nova Scotia Power related to its requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in an estimated $165 million in savings.

"We made a dent in it, but government cannot foot the whole bill," said Rushton.

The allowable rate increase is estimated to be worth $25 million to $30 million, all of which must go toward increasing service reliability including better management of trees. Rushton said about 90 per cent of power outages are caused by trees falling on power lines.

Nova Scotia Power's president said in a statement that the government's proposed legislation is an attempt to override the independence of the province's Utility and Review Board. (CBC)

The amendments will also prevent the UARB from being able to approve Nova Scotia Power's requests to increase its rate of return, or keep any excess profits. 

Rushton said private businesses need to make a profit, "but now is not the time for a utility to be looking for more."

The government has previously resisted calls from opposition politicians to act sooner, saying it wanted to allow the general rate application process to play out. The UARB is expected to rule on the application later this year.

In a statement, Nova Scotia Power president Peter Gregg said utility officials are "disappointed and concerned that the Government of Nova Scotia would use legislation to override what is meant to be a politically independent process."

"As part of our rate application, we requested over $500 million to strengthen our energy infrastructure and fund 60 new front-line jobs directly related to reliability," Gregg said in the statement.

"Today's proposed legislation limits this planned investment and the amount of storm preparedness and system hardening we can do in the province."

Gregg also said the measure threatens the company's ability to meet legislated greenhouse gas reduction targets that include ending the use of coal to generate electricity and generating 80 per cent of power from renewable sources by 2030.

Rushton said he expects Nova Scotia Power to meet those targets.

"Every business in Nova Scotia, every business in Canada is facing high inflation. Every business is making hard decisions to see themselves over those hurdles and I would expect Nova Scotia Power to do no different."

Liberal environment and climate change critic Iain Rankin said the limit on rate increases is a start, but the government must find more ways to reduce the effects of rising fuel costs.

"It's kind of late. They waited for a [general rate application] hearing to start. I'm not sure why that is, but it's a step in the right direction."

Rankin said dealing with fuel costs will be a challenge, and so it's even more vital to make a quick transition to renewable energy.

"Nova Scotia Power, I think, does own some of that responsibility. They've relied on coal for a long time. I think that they could have acted quicker."

NDP environment and climate change critic Susan Leblanc said the legislation is only a temporary measure and will still lead to some people having to choose between paying their rent or their power bill.

Leblanc said the bill does present time to find ways to keep power rates as affordable as possible while making good on the province's environmental commitments.

"We have to get off coal by 2030 and we have to green our grid and that is going to cost money," she told reporters.

"We have to figure out ways of making sure that that can be done by the dates that we need to do them by."

Fuel costs mean Nova Scotia Power rates could spike again in the coming years

Without mitigation measures residential rates could rise by 23 to 25% over the next 3 years

Nova Scotia Power has provided regulators with the potential impact of skyrocketing fuel costs on residential rates — and the numbers are scary.

Without mitigation measures residential rates could rise by 23 to 25 per cent over the next three years.

The company filed documents Friday in response to a directive from the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board to estimate the potential impact of rising fuel costs on rates in 2024 and 2025.

The company has not asked for this level of increase and says the scenario does not include any efforts to reduce fuel costs.

NSP seeks 13% increase starting in 2023

The company is seeking an overall 13 per cent hike over the next two years.

The application does not take into account the impact of its escalating fuel bill on rates in 2024 and 2025.

The company intends to start recovering those costs in a separate case next fall.

During public hearings last month the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board asked for an estimate as part of this case.

The Tufts Cove smokestack in Dartmouth, N.S. (CBC)

It asked for the impact on rates assuming fuel and purchased power costs are consistent with Nova Scotia Power's latest fuel update, released this summer.

Fuel is the coal, oil and natural gas burned to generate electricity at its thermal plants. Purchased power is primarily what it pays for wind power.

The potential impact

Factoring in expected fuel costs adds another 9.6 to 12 per cent to the residential rate increase the utility is currently seeking — depending on how and when fuel costs are recovered.

In one scenario residential rates could rise 10.6 per cent in 2023, 6.3 per cent in January 2024 and 6.6 per cent in January 2025 for an overall increase of 23.5 per cent.

In another scenario, using rate smoothing, rates could increase 6.9 per cent in 2023, 11.6 per cent in 2024 and 7.3 per cent in 2025 — a potential 25.8 per cent increase over three years.

Company spokesperson Jackie Foster says the 25 per cent increase is "a scenario where no fuel cost mitigation efforts were taken."

Not a done deal

"I accept that if the fuel numbers come in as expected that is what the increases would eventually look like," said consumer advocate Bill Mahody, who represents residential customers in regulatory hearings.

Proceedings are still underway and the board has made no decision on how it will treat recovery of the fuel bill.

"The company is not looking to put all of that in rates now, but the reality is customers should be very much aware that the best estimate is that this is where costs are going," Mahody said.

The overall average for all customer classes ranges between 23.9 to 27.7 per cent over the three years.

Ratepayers may need to pony up half a billion dollars

Nova Scotia Power's fuel costs have added a layer of complexity to its general rate application, which is the first in a decade.

As a cost-of-service utility, which is entitled to recover prudently incurred costs, ratepayers are on the hook for the huge spike in the fuel bill facing the company.

Nova Scotia Power updated its fuel forecast in August, revealing the cost of fuel between 2022 and 2024 is $681 million higher than the amount in its rate application submitted earlier this year.

The blow to ratepayers was softened this year by $165 million in greenhouse gas emission relief provided by the province, but it still leaves $516 million in higher fuel costs expected in 2023 and 2024.

On the eve of the hearing, the proposed rate increased from 10 per cent to 11.6 per cent to cover $113 million in higher fuel costs this year. Even then recovery was spread over three years. Fuel costs in upcoming years are unaccounted for in the rate application.

During the rate hearing Nova Scotia Power said it will wait until next fall to submit its plans to recover the fuel bill.

Then there is the federal carbon tax.

If Ottawa rejects Nova Scotia's proposal to collect the tax, it could impose the "federal backstop program," which Nova Scotia Power says would cost $243 million over the next two years.

Nova Scotia Power rate ask now tops 13 per cent and counting, says consumer advocate

With hearings concluded, UARB must now decide on 16 separate issues presented by the company

 
Paul Withers· CBC News ·
The two-week Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board hearing came too late in the year to put a rate increase into effect in 2022, as Nova Scotia Power intended. (CBC)
 
Public hearings ended Friday into Nova Scotia Power's application for a double-digit electricity rate increase that would see it collect $1.6 billion per year from ratepayers.

The two-week Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board hearing came too late in the year to put a rate increase into effect in 2022, as Nova Scotia Power intended.

The compressed recovery time over two years and additional fuel costs increased the original ask, says consumer advocate Bill Mahody, who represented residential customers at the hearing.

"I think we learned a lot," Mahody said at the end of Friday's hearings. "We learned from the company's perspective that their request of the board is a 6.8 per cent annual increase in both 2023 and 2024.

"The impact on different customer classes is still to be determined and will be filed later. So we don't know the full impact of the residential class."

Nova Scotia Power declined comment until the three-member panel issues its decision on the application.

Board chair Stephen McGrath said new rates will not be in place by Jan. 1, either.

'This is a significant hearing'

"This is a significant hearing," McGrath said in his closing remarks. "Nova Scotia Power hasn't been before the board for a general rate application since 2012, and there are a number of decision points in this proceeding that the board needs to think about carefully in terms of rendering a decision."

Regulators must decide on 16 separate issues presented by the company. A decision is expected sometime in early 2023.

Nova Scotia Power proposes to keep its rate of return at nine per cent, but expand the band of allowable earnings to a low of 8.5 per cent and upper limit of 9.5 per cent.

Consumer advocate Bill Mahody represented residential customers at the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board hearing. (CBC)

The Emera subsidiary also wants regulators to increase the proportion of shareholder money it can use to pay for capital projects from 37 to 45 per cent.

If approved, it would allow Nova Scotia Power to earn a nine per cent rate of return on 20 per cent more of the money it spends on capital projects. 

Finally, it is asking for a new "earning sharing mechanism" that would give the company half of excess profits earned above its approved nine per cent rate of return.

Proposed storm charge

Right now, all excess earnings go to reduce fuel costs for ratepayers.

"I can't imagine how it could be seen as being an appropriate request of this board at this time," said Mahody.

Nova Scotia Power is proposing a new storm charge that would allow it to collect up to two per cent more per year from ratepayers to pay for extreme weather events.

The storm rider would allow it to recover any money spent above the amount embedded in rates to cover the costs of dealing with severe storms — about $10.5 million per year.

The rider only goes one way — to the benefit of the company.

If storm costs come in below what is set in rates, the company keeps the difference. There is no refund to customers.

Decarbonization deferral account

The company also wants to create an account to spread out the cost of retiring its coal fired plants by 2030. It says unrecovered depreciation in the account will sit at over $600 million at the end of the decade.

The company must persuade the board that existing depreciation rules need to be changed.

There are also key issues that loomed over the rate hearing but were not resolved.

During the hearings, Nova Scotia Power said the cost of closing its coal plants and transitioning to a greener electricity grid will likely cost more than $2 billion this decade. (CBC)

One is the federal carbon tax.

An agreement with the province that averted the tax expires at the end of 2022. It's not clear what will replace it.

Ottawa could impose the "federal backstop program" which Nova Scotia Power said would cost it $243 million over the next two years. That is not accounted for in the rate application.

Fuel cost spike

Ratepayers are also on the hook for the huge spike in fuel costs facing Nova Scotia Power.

The company updated its fuel forecast this summer, revealing the cost of fuel between 2022 and 2024 is $681 million higher than the amount in its application submitted earlier this year.

On the eve of the hearing, the proposed rate increased from 10 percent to 11.6 percent to cover the fuel bill to the end of 2022. 

The blow was softened by $165 million in greenhouse gas emission relief provided by the province, but it still leaves $516 million in higher fuel costs expected in 2023 and 2024.

The company says it will wait until next fall to submit its plans to recover the fuel bill.

Amid the move to a greener grid, Nova Scotia Power considers buying Donkin coal

Disclosure made under questioning at application hearing to raise rates by 11.6 per cent by 2024

Nova Scotia Power is negotiating with the owners of the recently reopened Donkin mine in Cape Breton to secure a domestic source of coal.

The company made the disclosure Wednesday under questioning at hearings into its application for an 11.6 per cent rate increase by 2024.

"I'll limit my response to, 'We're in detailed discussions,'" Nova Scotia Power's vice-president commercial David Landrigan told the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB).

"We're in confidential discussions in the pursuit of a commercial arrangement with them."

Kameron Coal of West Virginia owns the mine, which reopened this month after a two-year shutdown.

The negotiations are another reminder that even as it transitions to a grid supplied by 80 per cent renewables by 2030, Nova Scotia Power still relies on burning fossil fuels — including coal, natural gas and oil — to generate electricity.

Soaring fuel prices prompted the company to increase its ask to 11.6 per cent — up from the 10 per cent it applied for earlier this year.

Earlier this month, Nova Scotia Power updated its fuel forecast showing fuel costs are $681 million higher than the May 2021 forecast it used in its original application.

This matters because fuel costs are automatically passed on to ratepayers.

To prevent rate shock, the Nova Scotia government waived carbon emission penalties worth $165 million and the company deferred or put off recovering fuel costs in rates.

"Under your proposal, ratepayers will finish paying for 2022 fuel costs in December of 2025, is that correct?" consumer advocate Bill Mahody, representing residential customers, asked Michael Willett, Nova Scotia Power's director of regulatory finance.

"That is the proposal, correct," Willet replied.

Next two years uncertain

The next two years are even more uncertain.

The rate application omits recovery of $516 million in higher fuel costs forecast for 2023 and 2024.

"Your best estimate (for 2023) is that there's somewhere in the range of $200 million in fuel costs that customers are going to face that are not currently in the rates that you've applied for," Mahody said.

"Could I see a scenario where it's significantly reduced? Yes, but a lot of good things have to happen and a lot of cooperation on some aspects. I can see a scenario. Is it going to be hard to do and is it a lot of heavy lifting? Yes," Landrigan replied.

It's not just fossil fuels.

The company did not get 2,700 gigawatt hours of additional market priced, and cheaper, hydroelectricity it had counted on from the Muskrat Falls hydro project in Labrador.

Storm rider

That loss makes up some of the $516 million in higher fuel costs.

"Our estimate is it would be under 20 per cent of that total … But we don't have it refined to how much," Landrigan said.

The company continued to take questions Wednesday about a proposed storm rider.

A storm rider would allow Nova Scotia Power to add up to two per cent per year to rates to recover the cost of responding to severe storms — if the cost came in over the $10 million set aside in rates.

Board counsel Bruce Outhouse wanted to know if the company would seek the storm rider if it earned its nine per cent rate of return.

"If you were at that nine per cent, surely you wouldn't expect the board to consider an application to get extra money for storm costs, would you?," Outhouse asked.

Selective Dorian requests

Nova Scotia Power finance director Craig Flemming would not make that commitment. Flemming said the company would not apply if it was at the top end of its allowed range of earnings which the company wants set at 9.5 per cent.

If the board denies the storm rider, the company wants permission to charge ratepayers $20 million per year to cover severe storms.

The figure incorporated the cost of responding to Hurricane Dorian in 2019, the most expensive storm in the company's history.

Board member Steven Murphy noted the company is selective in how it uses Hurricane Dorian in matters before the regulator.

The company asked for and was granted permission to exclude its response to Dorian when the board was evaluating its performance for 2019.

"Why do you think it would be appropriate to include Hurricane Dorian costs when Nova Scotia Power applied for and received board approval to have Hurricane Dorian removed from any metrics related to calculating Nova Scotia Power's performance standards?," Murphy asked.

Nova Scotia Power defends adding charges to cover storm damage at hearing into proposed rate increases

Proposal would allow utility to collect more from ratepayers to pay for extreme weather events

With Hurricane Fiona bearing down on the province, Nova Scotia Power is defending its heads-we-win, tails-you-lose proposal for a new storm charge at rate hearings this week.

As part of its application to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB)  for a general 11.6 per cent rate increase, the company is also asking for a "storm cost recovery rider" that would allow it to collect up to two per cent more per year from ratepayers to pay for extreme weather events.

Eric Ferguson, senior director for pricing and transformational regulatory Initiatives at N.S. Power, said Tuesday in Halifax the storm rider would be used sparingly.

"It's not the company's objective to have the rider every year, it's the objective to make the application when it's only absolutely necessary,'' Ferguson said.

In testimony on Wednesday, Ferguson said if the storm rider is approved it would not be used before 2025.

Why customer groups are wary

Here's why lawyers and consultants representing NSP customer groups are suspicious.

Nova Scotia Power wants to charge customers $10-million to pay for severe storm-related damage next year. That amount would be embedded in rates.

The proposed storm rider would allow it to recover any money spent above embedded rates related to severe storms.

The rider only goes one way — to the benefit of the company. If storm costs come in below what is set in rates, the company keeps the difference. There is no refund for consumers.

Company wins either way

In regulatory terms it is considered an "asymmetrical" mechanism.

"The criticism about the asymmetric nature was that it unreasonably favours [NSP Inc.] shareholders. That was articulated in the consultants' evidence," said Nancy Rubin, representing NSP's large customers.

"Yes," acknowledged Ferguson. "The company could recover over expenditures, but there wasn't a provision for refund of under expenditures."

Ferguson said NSP would not apply for a storm rider if the revenue it brings in would exceed its approved earnings or rate of return currently set at nine per cent.

The limitation is not in the company's application.

But NSP finance director Craig Flemming said the company ate $17-million in unanticipated costs from Hurricane Dorian in 2019 because it was still able to earn its approved rate of return that year.

If the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board rejects its bid for a storm rider, the company is asking to embed $20-million per year in rates to pay for storm damage.

Keeping trees off lines

NSP promised to provide a "full picture" of vegetation management — regulatory speak for tree trimming — after consumer advocate Bill Mahody noted the amount it spent in 2020 and 2021 dropped to an average of $4.2-million — half the average between 2010 and 2019.

The company said tree trimming costs show up in a variety of areas of the business and committed to a breakdown.

NSP ratepayers on hook for $3M settlement with Eastlink, Rogers

NSP disclosed Tuesday it expects ratepayers to cover the $3-million a year it lost in revenue because of its settlement with Eastlink, Rogers and Xplornet. The telecommunications companies were fighting a proposed 165 per cent increase in the attachment fee charged for using NSP owned poles.

NSP was counting on getting $7.5-million from raising the fee from $14 per pole per year to $37.

Michael Willett, director regulatory finance for N.S. Power, said the fee increase was based on flawed information, including double counting overtime, an inaccurate pole count and expenses added that were not part of the pole attachment fee last approved by the board in 2002.

The  recent settlement of $22 per pole reduced the take to $4.5-million.

"That incremental $3-million gap, is that to be recovered from other customers," asked Mahody.

In response, Willet said, "We operate on a cost-of-service model so that is correct. Those costs would need to be recovered.

The hearing resumes Wednesday.

Nova Scotia Power settles with telecom companies over fees to attach equipment to its poles

Deal will see 3 telecommunications companies pay an annual attachment fee of $22 per pole

 
Paul Withers· CBC News ·
The pole fee changes were part of Nova Scotia Power's general rate application for an overall increase in power rates of 11.6 per cent by the end of 2024. (Erik White/CBC )Nova Scotia Power has reached a settlement with telecommunications companies in a dispute over the use of its power poles in the province.

The deal will see three telecommunications companies pay an annual attachment fee of $22 for each power pole carrying their equipment including telephone wirelines and fibre optic cable for high speed internet and TV services. That marks a 55 per cent increase from the current $14 fee, but far below the $37 per pole, or 165 per cent increase, Nova Scotia Power was seeking in its general rate application.

The agreement will also see a further two per cent increase in 2023 and 2024.

The settlement with Bragg Communications — operating as Eastlink, Rogers Communications Canada and Xplornet Communications — was posted Friday by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB).

The pole fee changes were part of Nova Scotia Power's application for an overall increase in power rates of 11.6 per cent by the end of 2024.

The telecommunications companies had objected to the proposed 165 per cent attachment fee increase.

Cost to use poles

They argued it threatens to make rural service less economic, would slow expansion in rural areas and unfairly advantaged rival Bell Aliant since Bell does not pay the fee under a long-standing pole-sharing arrangement with Nova Scotia Power.

Nova Scotia Power argued the fee had not changed in 20 years and Bell pays "significantly " more than its rivals to use its poles. The cost per pole, however, was blacked out in Nova Scotia Power's rebuttal evidence.

Nova Scotia Power owns 500,000 power poles. Bell Aliant also owns poles — a legacy of its days as a phone monopoly.

Eastlink senior vice-president of engineering and chief technology officer Steve Irvine submitted evidence saying the change would cost the company $3.5 million a year.

Eastlink declined to comment on the settlement on Monday.

'Significant impact' on business

Rogers, which recently purchased Seaside Cable in Cape Breton, said the $37 fee would cost it $300,000 per year. Seaside Cable manager Dean Abbass said the annual cost to subscribers would nearly triple to $45.

Xplornet is delivering a $6.1-million hybrid fibre-wireless expansion in Cumberland and Colchester Counties involving 19 wireless towers and 500 kilometres of new fibre. It needs Nova Scotia Power poles.

"An increase in the annual attachment fee will have a significant impact on our business," regulatory counsel Carl MacQuarrie said in written evidence.

Hearings into Nova Scotia Power's general rate application resume Tuesday.

Nova Scotia Power's proposed profit hike challenged at utility hearings

Debate over how much money the privately owned utility can make is expected to continue for a month

Nova Scotia Power's move to increase its profits was challenged Friday at regulatory hearings in Halifax.

The company is before the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB) seeking an 11.6 per cent rate hike over the next two years.

It says it faces disproportionate risk this decade because of the huge cost of transitioning the province's electricity generating system away from burning coal as a fuel.

The company is required by the provincial government to close coal fired plants by 2030 and use power supplied from 80 per cent renewable sources. The company predicts that by 2029, ratepayers will be on the hook for $658 million in depreciation to write off its coal plants before their useful lives.

Nova Scotia Power argues it needs to improve profitability in order to attract investors and protect its credit rating as it transforms to a greener grid.

Pennsylvania State University finance professor J. Randall Woolridge, appearing on behalf of the consumer advocate representing Nova Scotia Power's residential customers, said that risk is not showing up as a red flag in credit reports.

Assessing risks

"The credit reports I read for utilities all talk about the transformation of their fleets and how that has to be financed. So it's not unique. That's what utilities have to do these days," Woolridge said.

University of Toronto finance professor Laurence Booth appeared on behalf of the UARB's counsel.

The Nova Scotia UARB hearings are expected to last the rest of the month. (CBC)

Booth said Canadian utilities face lower business risk thanks to protective Canadian regulators.

"How would you like to get nine per cent pretty much guaranteed in your RRSP or outside of your RRSP, the way that NSPI [Nova Scotia Power Inc.] is earning its allowed greater return for the last 10 years?" he testified.

Both Woolridge and Booth challenged evidence from a Nova Scotia Power expert witness, James Coyne, the senior vice-president of Concentric Energy Advisors.

Coyne says Nova Scotia Power's efforts to improve profitability are justified, calling it the "the lowest capitalized, vertically integrated stock in North America."

'Earning sharing mechanism'

In its rate application, the company is seeking to maintain its nine per cent return on equity (ROE) but expand the lower and upper earnings band to allow for a maximum of 9.5 rate of return.

It has also proposed an "earnings sharing mechanism" that would give it — for the first time — half of earnings above its rate of return. Right now excess earnings go back into the business to reduce costs for ratepayers.

Nova Scotia Power, a subsidiary of Halifax-based Emera, wants regulators to increase the proportion of shareholder money it can use to pay for capital projects from 37 to 45 per cent.

If approved, it would allow Nova Scotia Power to earn a nine per cent rate of return on 20 per cent more of the money it spends on capital projects. For ratepayers, it would mean paying a nine per cent rate of interest rather than the much lower rate when the company borrows the money from the bank.

Coyne testified that Nova Scotia Power deserves a higher rate of return than it is seeking when compared to returns earned by other utilities, especially U.S. utilities.

"My analysis shows that 10.1 per cent is a reasonable and market-based ROE for Nova Scotia Power," Coyne told the board on Thursday.

Hearings into the rate application will resume Tuesday and are expected to continue for the rest of the month.

Nova Scotia Power wants to increase rates by 11.6% over two years, up from previous forecast

Company says it needs more money from ratepayers to cover skyrocketing fuel costs

Nova Scotia Power (NSP) says it needs more money from ratepayers to cover skyrocketing fuel costs.

The company is now asking regulators for permission to raise rates by 11.6 per cent between 2022 and 2024, up from the 10 per cent it applied for earlier this year.

On Sept. 3, NSP disclosed its fuel costs are $681 million higher than the May 2021 forecast it used when it applied for the 10 per cent rate hike in late January.

"Since that time, world-wide inflationary pressures and geopolitical events have caused significant cost increases in services and products, including fuel to operate vehicles and fuel to generate electricity," the company said in an update filed with the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board ahead of public hearings later this month.

Officials say the price of solid fuels used to generate electricity, particularly coal, have gone up along with the cost of natural gas and oil also used in Nova Scotia's power grid. NSP says the increase in solid fuel costs in the first six months of 2022 was $119 million more than originally forecast. Natural gas jumped by $89 million. The cost of wind power has remained flat in 2022 and is forecast to stay that way in 2023. 

Fuel costs include the price of fuel it uses to generate electricity, power it buys and penalties it pays for failing to meet provincial greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. And it matters because NSP's fuel bill is automatically passed on to customers, after an annual vetting.

It has asked regulators to defer recovery for higher fuel costs in 2023 and 2024 until at least 2025. The company also said it did not get 2,700 gigawatt hours of additional market-priced, and cheaper, hydro electricity it had counted on from the Muskrat Falls hydro project in Labrador.

Province won't explain $165M in relief it is giving NSP

The provincial government has offered some help — agreeing to provide relief from greenhouse gas expenses that will shave $165 million from fuel costs in 2022.

"This was a lever we could pull," Tory Rushton, Nova Scotia minister of Natural Resources and Renewables, told CBC News Tuesday.

"Is it credits or is it a financial mark? At the end of the day, what matters is the ratepayers in Nova Scotia.

"We've been through a lot here in Nova Scotia, in the rest of the rest of the country, it's hard on everybody's pocketbooks. So these are levers that we're willing to pull as a government to ensure our ratepayers are protected."

 Tory Rushton is Nova Scotia's minister of Natural Resources and Renewables. (CBC)

Rushton referred questions about the details to officials, who later declined to clarify how the relief would work.

"We will release details later this fall," Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Climate Change spokesperson Elizabeth MacDonald said in a brief statement.

Temporary reprieve

Nova Scotia Power was clear this is a temporary fix.

"While the GHG Relief assists in making these compliance costs more affordable for customers in the near term, it does not relieve N.S. Power of its ongoing responsibility to meet its emissions targets in the long term," NSP said.

Imposition of a federal carbon tax is looming.

Last week Nova Scotia submitted its proposal asking for control of that tax.

Failing that, Ottawa would impose the "federal backstop program" which Nova Scotia Power said would cost it $116 million in 2023 and $127 million in 2021.

Jennifer O'Connell, parliamentary secretary to Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, was noncommittal Tuesday when asked about the Nova Scotia proposal.

"It depends. If it meets the federal government's emissions objectives. As in other provinces like B.C. — they have their own carbon pricing model," O'Connell said.

"In provinces where I come from, for example in Ontario, it's the federal backstop and that money is flowed directly from the federal government to residents. So it really depends on if the provinces submit a plan that meets the objectives of the legislation."

Nova Scotia Power responds to critics of confidentiality claims in rate hike case

Company willing to release some information, including about bonuses and government lobbying

Nova Scotia Power is fighting to keep studies on executive pay confidential during proceedings on its application to hike electricity rates by 10 per cent.

On Friday, the utility said two studies by Mercer Consulting on executive compensation paid to NSP executives should remain confidential despite objections from intervenors in the rate case, which include the Province of Nova Scotia.

NSP lawyer Blake Williams asked the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board to dismiss the objections.

He said the company is willing to release "the market comparable aggregate amount of total direct compensation that is included in the Mercer Reports to demonstrate that the compensation included in the General Rate Application is below market."

The rest of the reports are irrelevant, he said, since legislation limits the portion of NSP executive compensation recovered from ratepayers to the level of provincial deputy ministers.

"NS Power is no longer permitted to seek full recovery of its executive compensation expenses and there remains no rationale or justification to disclose information pertaining to amounts over the Government Pay Plan Cap. If NS Power were seeking to recover the full amount of executive compensation then it would disclose the full amount, just as it did prior to the introduction of the Government Pay Plan Cap," Williams wrote.

Where NSP has dropped confidentiality claims

The company did withdraw many of its confidentiality claims after they were opposed by lawyer Nancy Rubin on behalf of the Industrial Group, representing NSP's largest customers and Dalhousie University.

NSP said it is now willing to release information on bonuses, its government lobbying activity, public information in a tax dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency and the identity of Shell as the supplier of natural gas in a long-expired contract.

The company said it will disclose details related to an incident at the Trenton 5 generating station once claims are settled.

Losses related to a transformer failure at the Point Tupper generating station and ice damage at the Nuttby wind farm are still subject to ongoing negotiations, it said.

"NS Power is committed to serving Nova Scotians in a transparent manner," Williams wrote.

Intervenors have until June 7 to respond.

N.S. Power executive admonished by opposition MLAs for proposed rate hike

MLA Brendan Maguire says company's application comes when cost-of-living increases 'crushing' Nova Scotians

Nova Scotia opposition politicians directly questioned and publicly admonished a top executive at Nova Scotia Power at Province House in Halifax on Wednesday.

The utility's chief operating officer Mark Sidebottom was one of 10 people called before the legislature's public accounts committee to talk about the company's proposed 10 per cent electricity rate increase over three years.

Although senior officials at the company agreed to testify, they warned the committee beforehand they would not answer specific questions about the rate application. A representative from the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board, as well as two provincial deputy ministers, indicated the same.

That's because although the company filed its application in January, the formal regulatory hearings before the board have not started yet.

Liberal MLA Brendan Maguire called the warning "offensive."

"Even before you sit in this committee you send these letters to us saying that you don't want to, nor will you answer questions," said the Halifax Atlantic representative. "I've never seen anything like this in my eight years on this committee."

Maguire suggested the proposal for a 10 per cent price increase over three years couldn't be coming at a worst time.

"The cost of living is absolutely crushing Nova Scotians and at that time Nova Scotia Power have the audacity to put forward a 10 per cent rate increase on the backs of Nova Scotians," said Maguire. "People are defaulting on their rent and their mortgage payments, and I know this because I've been an MLA for eight years and I've heard it."

In response to this question and others like it, Sidebottom repeatedly told committee members: "There's never a good time to ask for an increase in electricity rates."

The executive said the company needed the increase, which includes a request for a larger guaranteed rate of return, to cover the company's rising costs and to continue to make it attractive to investors.

"So that sounds good — that there's never a good time to have these increases," Maguire shot back. "Yet every time we turn around, it seems like it's a good time to have all-time high executive payouts.

"We're seeing all-time high bonuses. We're seeing executives at Nova Scotia Power and Emera become millionaires on the back of Nova Scotians."

That comment was a reference to the fact top executives at Nova Scotia Power and its parent company, Emera, profited from hefty bonuses and other benefits in 2021.

New Democrat MLA Claudia Chender wasn't as blunt with her criticism of the proposed increase, but acknowledged "news of the rate increase has caused a lot of consternation right across the province."

"People are upset because they can't pay their bills already and we know that 37 per cent of Nova Scotia households experience what is defined as energy poverty, so more than six per cent of your after-tax income is spent on home energy," she told Sidebottom. "That's a massive number of people who struggle every month to pay their power bill."

During the spring sitting, the PC government updated the law that governs the utility and review board, but government members voted down amendments to that bill that would have allowed the board to create a special power rate for Nova Scotia Power customers who don't earn much money.

That concept was championed by the NDP, which led Chender to ask the utility if it would support a new customer rate designed to help low-income families.

Sidebottom responded: "Nova Scotia Power would be receptive, in fact supportive of understanding what could be a solution around this."

This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of Emera’s prospectus supplement dated August 12, 2021 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated August 5, 2021 

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia –Emera Inc. (TSX: EMA) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Nova Scotia Power (NS Power) announced today that NS Power has filed a proposed settlement agreement for its 2022-2024 General Rate Application (GRA) with the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB). The settlement, which addresses both fuel and non-fuel rates, was reached between NS Power and key customer representatives, including Nova Scotia’s Consumer Advocate, the Small Business Advocate, large customers represented by the Industrial Group, municipal utilities, Dalhousie University as well as advocates for the environment and low-income customers.

If approved by the UARB, the settlement will implement Bill 212, the provincially legislated cap on non-fuel rates for 2023 and 2024. The agreement addresses the recovery of fuel costs over the settlement period and would also establish a Demand Side Management (DSM) rider. Combined, these amounts would result in rate increases of 6.9% each year for 2023 and 2024. In addition, any under or over recovery of fuel costs would be addressed through the UARB’s established Fuel Adjustment Mechanism (FAM) process.

“Reaching this settlement is a remarkable demonstration of stakeholders’ and customer representatives’ commitment to working together to reach constructive solutions for customers,” says Peter Gregg, President and CEO of NS Power. “Working within the constraints of Bill 212, this settlement addresses all outstanding items of the GRA, and provides important price predictability for customers at this time of high inflation and broad economic challenge.”

Other elements of NS Power’s GRA addressed in the settlement include agreement on a storm rider for the years 2023-2025, providing clarity around the recovery of costs for major storms and extreme weather events in future. It also establishes an equity thickness of 40 per cent for rate-making purposes and will result in $137 million in forecasted incremental non-fuel revenues over the settlement period, compared to $240 million filed within the GRA. A full copy of the proposed settlement agreement can be found at www.uarb.ca or www.nspower.ca/rateapplication.

“This is a positive step forward,” said Scott Balfour, President and CEO, Emera Inc. “Achieving successful and balanced regulatory outcomes within strong regulatory compacts is critical to our ability to deliver first and foremost to our customers, but to all other stakeholders as well.”

Today’s agreement is the latest in a series of regulatory settlements across Emera’s portfolio that demonstrate the strength of Emera’s teams and strategy as well as Emera’s ability to work collaboratively with stakeholders to reach outcomes that are in the best interest of customers. In the last 24 months, New Mexico Gas, Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas have also concluded important rate cases through settlement agreements with customer representatives.

Today’s announcement by the Government of Nova Scotia poses serious risks to our ability to continue to serve our customers reliably and prepare for Nova Scotia’s future energy needs.

Customers count on us to deliver reliable electricity, every day. It’s why we work to strengthen our system across the province and why we work to restore power safely and as quickly as possible after storms like Hurricane Fiona.

The local and global economy have been faced with many challenges since we filed our general rate application (GRA) earlier this year. We know many Nova Scotians are facing difficult times because of these pressures and we’re sensitive to the impact of any increase in electricity rates. We have a responsibility to manage costs and keep power bills as low as possible. This is why our team of more than 2,000 Nova Scotians works to ensure we’re operating as efficiently and effectively as possible– a focus that has enabled us to avoid an increase in non-fuel power rates for the last 10 years despite rising operational costs over that time.

As an electric utility with strong regulatory oversight, we’re disappointed and concerned that the Government of Nova Scotia would use legislation to override what is meant to be a politically independent process.

As part of our rate application, we requested over $500 million to strengthen our energy infrastructure and fund 60 new front-line jobs directly related to reliability. Today’s proposed legislation limits this planned investment and the amount of storm preparedness and system hardening we can do in the province. As recent storms including Hurricane Fiona have made clear, severe storms will keep coming. Putting off these critical investments until later is not a solution.

This proposed legislation would impede our ability to meet targets set by the Province to reach 80% renewable energy and be off coal by 2030. We’ve been focused on meeting these targets because they’re critical to building a sustainable energy future. But we can’t meet them without making the investments needed to get there.

As we work over the coming days and weeks to fully understand the impacts of this proposed legislation, our team of dedicated Nova Scotians remains committed to delivering safe, reliable and cleaner energy to our customers. Serving our customers will always be our focus, despite the constraints imposed by this proposed legislation.

Emera boss pockets more than $8M in 2021

Parent company of Nova Scotia Power released its annual report on compensation Thursday

Emera chief executive Scott Balfour earned $8.2 million in salary, bonuses and other benefits last year, nearly $500,000 more than 2020, or a six per cent increase.

The parent company of Nova Scotia Power released its annual report on compensation paid to its five top executives Thursday.

Compensation includes base salary, share awards, share options incentives, pension value and perks.

Chief financial officer Greg Blunden was the next highest paid. He made $2.5 million in compensation, $265,231 more than 2020, or an 11 per cent increase.

Compensation paid to Bruce Marchand, chief legal and compliance officer, was virtually unchanged at $2 million.

Former Nova Scotia Power president Karen Hutt saw the biggest boost. Emera's executive vice-president of business development and strategy earned $1.65 million, $289,706 more than 2020, or a 21 per cent increase.

Rick Janega, the chief operating officer, electrical utilities Canada & Caribbean, was the outlier.

His compensation fell $689,073 — or 28 per cent — to $1.63 million. Janega successfully guided the Maritime Link to completion.

Committee oversees compensation

Executive compensation is overseen by a management resources and compensation committee. It is made up of four independent Emera board members and chaired by Henry Demone, the former CEO of High Liner Foods.

In its management information circular, Emera said executive compensation "has been largely aligned" with total shareholder returns in recent years.

"The analysis concluded that Emera's compensation framework provided appropriate alignment between the President and CEO's compensation and the shareholder experience over the long term," Emera states.

Emera shareholder returns increased by 22 per cent from 2020 to 2021.

"In the face of the demands and impacts of a global COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 was a year of strong performance, both financially and operationally for Emera, including the achievement of important regulatory outcomes,' Emera states.

"Under Mr. Balfour's leadership, Emera has advanced its carbon reduction goals and is increasingly recognized as a leader in ESG (environmental, social and governance)."


CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices

What would you do with Emera CEO Scott Balfour’s $8.28 million compensation package?

Emera’s board decided to give it to its CEO. But at the same time, Emera’s subsidiary, Nova Scotia Power, is asking the rest of us to pay a 10% rate hike so it can run what it calls a ‘reliable business.’ Something does not compute.
 byStephen Kimber
Nova Scotia Power… not exactly as claimed (Facebook)

On Thursday, March 17 — a day that is all about the green and the blarney — we learned that Scott Balfour, the president and chief executive officer of Emera, took home $8.28 million last year in salary, bonuses, and other benefits.

For comparative purposes, as a CBC report helpfully noted, that’s nearly $500,000 more than he pocketed in 2020 — an increase of 6% in one year.

Not bad, but chump change really when you compare it with how much more Balfour is pocketing today than in his previous job as president of Aecon Group, a publicly-traded Canadian construction company. When he left that job in 2011 to join Emera, he was taking home around $2 million a year.

So, in a country where the average inflation-adjusted hourly wage has hardly changed since the 1970s, Scott Balfour’s annual compensation has increased by 400% in just over a decade (310% adjusted for inflation).

From a Nova Scotia perspective, of course, Emera is not just another private company.

These days, Emera likes to bill itself as “a team of experts focused on safely delivering cleaner, affordable and reliable energy to our customers in Canada, the US and the Caribbean…”

Those of us with longer memories will remember that fancy-pumps Emera was born plain old Nova Scotia Power, a successful publicly-owned provincial electric utility that then-Progressive Conservative Premier Donald Cameron peddled to private investors for what he hoped would be short term gain in 1992.

Although those investors ultimately transformed the utility into an unregulated, publicly traded $32.2 billion holding company, it’s worth noting Emera never did get rid of NSP, the guaranteed-return cash cow that gave it its first life.

So, after the usual corporate bafflegab about its “team of experts” and all that “cleaner, affordable, reliable” hoohah, there is this:

We primarily invest in regulated electric and gas utilities, driving predictable returns and steady growth for our investors, enabling us to reinvest in our teams, our companies and our communities. (The bold face is mine.)

One of Scott Balfour’s numerous corporate hats is as chair of Nova Scotia Power.

So, how’s he done?

Nova Scotia Power recently applied for a rate increase of 10% over the next three years.

Buried deep inside thousands of pages of its application-ese, the company also asked the province’s utility review board to “relax” some of the more than a dozen “performance and customer service benchmarks” it had ordered the company to meet in 2016.

The company didn’t meet six of those benchmarks for the next three years running and was even fined $250,000 in 2019 for its failure.

But it’s kept on failing. Complained the regulator in 2021:

It is concerning to the board that NS Power does not seem to recognize that a fundamental outcome anticipated from establishing the performance standards is to produce continuous improvement in reliability, customer service and storm response.

Nova Scotia Power — keep in mind Emera’s professed devotion to cleaner, affordable and reliable energy — also asked the regulator to create a special new fee it could slap on customers who generate their own “cleaner, affordable and reliable” electricity using solar or wind energy and then sell some back to the power company.

In the face of public outrage after this outrage became public — many saw it as the company’s way to undermine the greening of the grid — Nova Scotia Power shelved that proposal. For now.

But the company still wants also its guaranteed 9% profit margin — plus a sweetener that would allow it to scoop up to a 9.5 % return on equity.

Explained Peter Gregg, the recently appointed president and CEO of Emera’s Nova Scotia Power subsidiary: “We’re not asking for more than we need to run a reliable business,”

No more?

Reliable?

Let’s go back to the question. And ask it this way. How’s Scott Balfour doing for Nova Scotia Power customers — us — to justify his compensation package? (And don’t give me that sophistry about how much of his salary comes from NSP and how much from… there’s one umbrella company here.)

Consider Emera’s “compensation philosophy. The purpose of Emera’s executive compensation program,” explains last week’s management information circular, is to:

  • align the interests of executives with the interests of Emera’s shareholders and customers; (my emphasis)
  • attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and high-performing executives; and
  • reward Emera’s executives for sustained growth in shareholder value.

Rate increases, lowering performance standards, squeezing out green energy competitors, maintaining and even increasing the guaranteed profit margin… those do all seem to align neatly with shareholder interest in “sustained growth in shareholder value.”

As my colleague Jennifer Henderson noted:

Although the multinational company that owns Nova Scotia Power and electric and natural gas utilities in Florida, New Mexico, and the Caribbean did not meet its EPS or “Earnings Per Share” objective, every Emera shareholder still saw a 4% increase on last year’s dividend and a TSR (Total Shareholder Return) of 22% on their investment.

Not bad, huh?

Not bad at all. If you’re a shareholder. But increasing shareholder value seems designed to decrease value for Nova Scotia Power’s customers.

Given all of that, with whose interests do you think Emera’s board sees itself aligned?

Sorry, time’s up.

So, here’s a different question. How could Scott Balfour’s compensation package be better spent on… well, let’s start with improving services to the customers of Nova Scotia Power?

There are currently postings for a number of “Maintenance Person Certified (Shift)” at Nova Scotia Power. These are union jobs paying $42.20 an hour. You could hire more than 100 of them with Scott Balfour’s take-home alone. Or, you could get even more bang for your buck by hiring close to 180 also unionized Utility Worker IIs, whose duties include “repair maintenance duties” at $25.37 an hour.

How many of us who have spent hours, often days, waiting for Nova Scotia Power to restore our power after a storm — or even a light breeze — believe $8 million might be better spent than in fluffing up Scott Balfour’s pay packet?

But let’s make this a game anyone can play.

What would you do with Scott Balfour’s $8 million?

Here’s a modest suggestion to start us off. We could buy 720 emergency crisis shelters at $11,500 each to house the homeless. Maybe NSP could throw in free electricity.

Your turn.

Emera president Scott Balfour received $8.28 million in compensation in 2021

  byJennifer Henderson

Emera Inc. president and CEO Scott Balfour took home a whopping $8.28 million dollars in total compensation in 2021, including salary and stock options. 

Enough to make you gag in your green beer, the figures for Emera’s top five executives were reported on St.Patrick’s Day in the company’s Management Circular.

Here a short summary of Pay Day for Emera’s Top People: 

Scott Balfour, president and CEO, $8.28 million. (6% raise from 2020)

Greg Blunden, Chief Financial Officer, $2.5 million

Bruce Marchand, Chief Legal Counsel, $2.02 million

Karen Hutt, Executive Vice-President, business development and climate strategy, $ 1.64 million

(Hutt made less than $200,000 a year during her three years as president of Nova Scotia Power. Nova Scotia Power executive compensation paid by ratepayers — not to be confused with shareholders — is linked to the top salary paid to a Nova Scotia government deputy minister)

Rick Janega, CEO, Electric Utilities in Canada and Caribbean, $1.63 million

(Janega was responsible for completing the Maritime Link on time and on budget. The Link delivers Muskrat Falls hydro by cable from Newfoundland to Cape Breton.)

The people who served on Emera Inc’s board of directors earned between $250,000 and $300,00 in compensation last year. Chair Jackie Sheppard took home more than $400,00. The company’s annual general meeting will take place in Halifax May 26 and shareholders get to “have a say on pay” if they file all the necessary paperwork. 

Although the multinational company that owns Nova Scotia Power and electric and natural gas utilities in Florida, New Mexico, and the Caribbean did not meet its EPS or “Earnings Per Share” objective, every Emera shareholder still saw a 4% increase on last year’s dividend and a TSR (Total Shareholder Return) of 22% on their investment. Not bad, huh? Meanwhile, Nova Scotia Power has a applied for a 10% rate hike over the next three years that will affect all electricity consumers in this province.

 Fast facts from the Emera management circular:

• Emera has more than $34 billion in assets.

• Emera states it plans an 80% reduction in coal usage by the end of next year, 2023, and the retirement of Nova Scotia Power’s last coal unit “no later than 2040.”

• Emera says in 2021, the company achieved a 40% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to 2005 levels. This figure includes other companies as well as Nova Scotia Power. “With $5.3 billion committed to clean energy projects, Emera expects to reach its goal of 55% carbon reduction by 2025,” states the filing to SEDAR.

 

Nova Scotia ratepayers will pay $169.4 million this year for the Maritime Link, despite lack of significant energy deliveries

byJennifer Henderson

.

Nova Scotia ratepayers will continue to be charged almost the full cost of the Maritime Link this year, despite the fact deliveries of hydroelectricity from Muskrat Falls are still only a fraction of what was contracted in 2013. 

The $1.76 billion subsea cable built by Nova Scotia Power Maritime Link (NSPML) has been in service since 2018 to bring renewable hydroelectricity from Labrador to Cape Breton. 

The 94-page decision issued by the Utility and Review Board (UARB) yesterday acknowledges that after four years of delay, consumers are still receiving only a portion of the NS Block (19% from August 15- November 30, 2021) and that consumers have paid $205.5 million to buy other sources of replacement energy over the past four years. 

Officials with NSPML have been unable to provide a firm date when all the energy will arrive because of ongoing delays with the software that controls the transmission of electricity from the dams to mainland Newfoundland via the Labrador Island Link. 

That uncertainty appears to be one factor in the UARB’s decision to “hold back” $2 million each month from what Nova Scotia Power can bill ratepayers until most of that electricity is received. (That’s a significant amount, equal to 10% of what the provincial grid consumes today.)

“The Board has determined it is appropriate to continue a form of holdback to provide some continued protection to ratepayers,”explained the UARB in its written decision. “The holdback monies will be used to pay for the cost of any replacement energy that may be required as a result of the failure to achieve the 90%, to a maximum of $2 million per month. Any portion of the $2 million not utilized to pay for replacement cost energy would be paid over to NSPML.” 

The “holdback” starts this April and will be reviewed by the UARB next January. 

In two previous years, the board refused to allow Nova Scotia Power to collect $10 million from ratepayers because no energy had started to flow. The board appeared skeptical about information from Nova Scotia Power filed after the hearing concluded that claimed deliveries from Muskrat Falls had improved to 70-90% during late December and the first week of January.

“[T]his covers a time period measured in days — not cause for unbridled optimism,” noted the UARB decision. “That evidence was not subject to cross-examination nor submitted under oath and is entitled to little weight. The Board has noted in the past that NSPML and Nova Scotia Power have over-promised and under-delivered when they describe benefits from the Maritime Link. In the 2017 interim assessment hearing, when NSPML was arguing that the Maritime Link was used and useful even in the absence of NS Block, NSPML and Nova Scotia Power stated that energy and other benefits in excess of $120 million in 2018 and 2019 were expected. In fact, those benefits were less than $5 million per year in each of those years.”

Executive Compensation 

In an era where huge cost overruns and delays on energy megaprojects are the norm, the UARB praised NSPML for completing the subsea cable on time and on budget, calling it “ a commendable achievement.” And an audit commissioned by the UARB determined that the costs related to how the project was financed and managed were “prudent.” 

That said, the UARB refused to allow Nova Scotia Power to stick ratepayers with $13 million for bonuses and incentives paid to retain senior managers between 2013-2018. Intervenors noted that shareholders, not ratepayers, cover the salaries of senior managers with Nova Scotia Power and questioned why the same standard established under the Public Utilities Act shouldn’t apply to bosses with the Maritime Link.

Unfortunately, Nova Scotia Power Maritime Link is not covered by the Public Utilities Act and was created primarily to meet eligibility requirements to get a federal loan guarantee. It’s a technicality. Consumer Advocate Bill Mahody argued ratepayers should not be on the hook for $13 million in executive compensation. 

“Ratepayers have paid $650 million in annual assessment and replacement energy costs and received quantified benefits of $17.4 million and 54,000 MWh of power. Such performance does not warrant the consideration of ratepayer funded incentives and donations,” argued Mahody, supported by the Small Business Advocate, and lawyer Nancy Rubin representing large companies such as Michelin Tire and others.

In the end, the UARB simply went back to its previous practice before changes to the Public Utilities Act and gave NSPML half of what it asked for. Ratepayers and Nova Scotia Power will split the $13 million 50-50. NSPML must also cover $700,000 for paying parent company Emera above market rates to rent office space on Upper Water Street and Emera Place. 

As for the corporate donations the Maritime Link Project made to various First Nations and communities in Cape Breton, where a sub-station and overhead transmission lines were built, the regulator said those costs can be passed on to ratepayers because building community trust is important when a megaproject is thrust in someone’s backyard. 

The UARB agreed that was a “reasonable” approach but then chose to disallow or make Nova Scotia Power pay for about $300,000 of the $1.4 million total in corporate donations.

“[T]he Board considers that some of the contributions and donations made by NSPML fall outside the scope of engagement with Indigenous or local communities, or securing a well-trained and diversified workforce, and appear only remotely connected, if at all, to the communities where construction of the Maritime Link took place,” reads the decision.

Readers will be thrilled to learn Nova Scotia ratepayers will not have to pay for contributions to Jr Achievement Newfoundland, the St John’s Board of Trade Association, and a women’s film festival in St-John’s. Irony intended. Sometimes the small costs are almost as irritating as the big ones. The big one is the $169.4 million that will be rolled into 2022 power rates as approved by the UARB to pay down the cost of the Maritime Link.

Burn Baby Burn

A group composed of municipal utilities around the province (including Berwick, Mahone Bay, and Antigonish) reminded the UARB that Nova Scotia Power had committed to retire its Lingan 2 coal-fired generating station in Cape Breton once hydroelectricity from Labrador was received. Now that that energy has started to flow and a lot more is expected later this year, the municipal utilities group says it’s time that coal-fired unit is shutdown. The UARB agreed.

“The Board advises Nova Scotia Power that it will not permit recovery of operating costs of Lingan 2 beyond August 15, 2022,” reads the decision. “In other words, if Nova Scotia Power proposes to operate Lingan 2 beyond August 15,2022, it will need to seek specific approval.”

NSPML told the regulator it expects to receive another large amount of hydro from Muskrat Falls — that the province is counting on to replace an additional10% of coal-fired power with renewables — starting this September. That market-priced energy is another important component of the original deal the UARB approved back in 2013 because it was the combination of the market-priced energy plus the NS Block that determined the Maritime Link was the lowest cost alternative for ratepayers. 

So far, that has bargain has yet to be kept but the regulator appears confident it will be.

“While there continue to be delivery delays of the NS Block, NS ratepayers will benefit from NSPML’s development of the Maritime Link Project, including its continuing efforts with Nalcor as they both strive to secure an important source of renewable energy for Nova Scotians and our neighbors in Newfoundland and Labrador,” reads the decision.

In the meantime, the UARB is ordering NSPML and Nova Scotia Power to keep filing quarterly reports on the status of Muskrat Falls and the Labrador Island Link commissioning process. It must also file quarterly reports that are to identify costs “associated with replacement cost of undelivered energy and costs associated with extended operation of Lingan 2 and any other thermal resource that was intended to be displaced by Muskrat Falls deliveries.” Hopefully, that will provide more timely and transparent information for both the regulator and the public stuck paying the bill.

Emera finds new Nova Scotia Power president in Ontario

New president and CEO will start in November

An Ontario electricity industry veteran will become the new president and CEO of Nova Scotia Power.

Parent company Emera announced the appointment of Peter Gregg in a press release Wednesday.

Gregg is currently the president of the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) in Ontario, which manages the operation of the bulk electricity system in Ontario.

"I was attracted to this exciting opportunity because NSPI is recognized as an innovative and customer-centric utility with an impressive track record and plan for the continued transition to cleaner energy," Gregg said in a statement.

Gregg takes over from Emera chief operating officer Rick Janega, who has been interim CEO since June.

Latest change at Nova Scotia Power

Emera's news release said Gregg was selected after a rigorous search within Canada that attracted a long list of candidates from inside and outside the company.

Prior to his role at the IESO, Gregg served as the president and CEO of Enersource and chief operating officer at Hydro One Networks, where he was heavily focused on energy distribution in Ontario.

He starts at Nova Scotia Power in November.

Gregg is the latest change at the top of Nova Scotia's power utility, which serves more than 400,000 residential customers.

Last October, Emera announced Nova Scotia Power president Karen Hutt was being appointed executive vice-president of strategy and business development at Emera and would be replaced by Wayne O'Connor as the new CEO. 

O'Connor left the company this spring, leading to Janega's appointment in an acting role.

In 2017, Hutt, then the president and CEO, earned $694,568 in compensation. Ratepayers picked up $234,289 of that compensation.

BRIAN GIFFORD: Three ways to limit impact of power hikes on low-income Nova Scotians

BRIAN GIFFORD • Guest Opinion

Brian Gifford lives in Halifax. He is chair of the Affordable Energy Coalition. 

Nova Scotia Power’s application for large rate increases raises many controversial questions. Premier Tim Houston has said the Nova Scotia government is “exploring all options; nothing is off the table.” 

The Affordable Energy Coalition believes that while considering the proposed rate increase, we must be laser-focused on practical solutions that will work for the people who will be most badly affected by whatever the rate turns out to be.  Households in energy poverty already face high energy costs, sometimes having to choose between eating, heating, and lighting their homes.  In addition to setting goals on climate change, the new Environmental Goals Act passed in the fall also promised equity. We must ensure low- and modest-income and marginalized households are not left behind as we decarbonize our economy.  We can and must address the climate emergency and reduce energy poverty at the same time. Now is the time to take steps needed to make this possible.  

There are three practical solutions we strongly encourage the Nova Scotia government to act on and other Nova Scotians to vigorously support.  

Solution 1: Create a Universal Service Program, as many U.S. jurisdictions and Ontario have done. Such programs make sure people don’t lose access to energy services due to their low income. Energy is essential to modern life — heating, lights and food preparation. The best of these programs cap energy costs at six per cent of income for low-income households. The Ontario program instead provides standardized monthly subsidies based on income and family size. A Universal Service Program is a well-proven way to make sure low-income households can keep the lights on while longer-term solutions are implemented.  

Substantial energy efficiency upgrades to low-income homes are the longer-term solution. The second and third practical solutions we can act on now will boost our efforts at installing efficiency upgrades to lower bills for low-income households.  

Solution 2:  A new three-year contract for efficiency services provided by Efficiency Nova Scotia to NSP in 2023-2025 is being negotiated now. We must support a new contract that includes substantially expanded low-income program funding.  

Solution 3: The Nova Scotia government and others can support a national campaign led by Efficiency Canada for $2 billion in low-income efficiency funding in the next federal budget to boost existing efforts across the country, including here in Nova Scotia. 

This would provide the same amount of federal funding for low-income efficiency programs as the money that they have already committed in the Greener Homes program to help higher-income households pay for efficiency upgrades. Successful energy efficiency programs for low-income households cover 100 per cent of the costs of upgrades, and organize the work so it is done effectively and in a timely manner — this is what Nova Scotia’s HomeWarming program does. 

Energy poverty occurs when low- and modest-income households spend over six per cent of income on energy. Nova Scotia has one of the highest rates of energy poverty in the country due to high oil prices and power rates and low incomes. The province has made real strides in reducing energy bills with programs that have created permanent, substantial annual savings for over 18,000 low-income households. The HomeWarming program and its predecessors have installed major efficiency upgrades such as insulation and air sealing in homes owned by low-income households. Other programs offered by Efficiency Nova Scotia help Mi’kmaw communities, shelters and landlords with low-income tenants to secure similar savings.  

On average, efficiency upgrades in the HomeWarming program save low-income homeowners about 30 per cent on home energy bills — each household saves over $500 per year in energy costs for electrically-heated homes or $900/year for oil-heated homes. They also benefit from warmer, more comfortable homes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  

We must increase the depth and speed of existing provincial programs so all low- and modest-income Nova Scotians can benefit from lower energy costs. What Nova Scotians pay for energy is not only in their electricity bills. Oil heating is far more expensive and creates more greenhouse gases than highly efficient electric heat pumps. HomeWarming should aim for at least 50 per cent savings instead of 30 per cent — through a combination of insulation and switching to heat pumps or zero-emissions heating.   

We must also expand who qualifies for efficiency upgrades. Many modest-income households also suffer from energy poverty. They struggle with energy costs and can’t afford efficiency upgrades.  In African Nova Scotian communities, many households aren’t eligible for HomeWarming due to unclear property title due to past racist practices. Modest-income households facing energy poverty and African Nova Scotians with unclear property title must be included in low-income efficiency programs.  

Energy efficiency programs for low- and modest-income households and marginalized communities are an essential part of the transition to a low-carbon economy. These programs also reduce longstanding energy poverty. A Universal Service Program will reduce energy poverty in the meantime. We know what works. Now we need to build on our successes and scale up existing programs to make the transition to zero-carbon homes as fast and inclusive as it needs to be.   

We call on Nova Scotians and the provincial government to support these practical solutions.  We also call on the federal government to recognize the double benefits of supporting low-income energy efficiency programs across the country and here in Nova Scotia by committing $2 billion in funding for low-income energy efficiency in the upcoming federal budget.

Nova Scotia Power applies for rate increase of 10% over next three years

HALIFAX, N.S. — Residential power users are facing a 10 per cent increase in rates in three steps from 2022 to 2024 in Nova Scotia Power's general rate application put forward to the Utility and Review Board on Thursday.

NSP officials held a technical briefing as well as a media session with president and CEO Peter Gregg just before filing the application.

The power utility is seeking base rate increases of 3.3 per cent for each of the next three years for residential customers. Industrial and business users are also facing increases, with the average rate for large businesses going up 5.2 per cent in 2022, 5.2 per cent in 2023 and 5.3 per cent in 2024. For small businesses, those steps are proposed to be 3.7, 3.7 and 3.8.

Gregg said NSP supports the requirement to phase out reliance on coal-fired generation and meet government goals of 80 per cent renewable energy by 2030.

“But it does represent a significant change in our operating landscape. And climate change means that our weather is changing as well. We're seeing more frequent and intense storm events with increased wind speeds, which affect reliability, and that's especially top-of-mind for us.

“The rate increases for the next three years will support the changes we need to make to enable us to meet government commitments and environmental goals and ensure that we can meet our customers' growing demand for electricity.”

While rates have gone up due to fuel cost recovery, NSP has not submitted a rate application like this since 2012, NSP staffers said during the technical briefing.

The application includes five aspects:

  • The creation of a Decarbonization Deferral Account, or DDA, which would be used to park funds in preparation to offset costs related to the closure of NSP's coal-fueled power plants by 2030. NSP is choosing to create this fund, which is anticipated to hold about $370 million, to avoid immediately passing those costs on to customers.
  • The creation of a Storm Recovery rider, which would come into effect only if a massive storm affects infrastructure and service along the lines of hurricane Dorian. NSP already has storm effects built into rates but this would be applied only in the case of extraordinary storms and would be capped at 2 per cent. It would also not be applied until a year after the event and NSP staff said the earliest that could happen under the proposed application would be in 2024.
  • A system access fee related to Net Metering, which will apply to customers who generate the own power and sell it back to the utility. Any customers who already have their systems in place before Feb. 1 will be exempt from the fee for 25 years from the date they were first connected to the system. Gregg said because Net Metering customers enjoy a subsidy now, customers who don't have those systems would be unfairly paying for those who do to enjoy that benefit. The fee is proposed to be $8 per kilowatt of installed capacity per month.
  • Demand Side Management (DSM) relates to the costs related to energy conservation and efficiency programs, which are administered in Nova Scotia by Efficiency One. The DSM rider will provide clarity on costs to customer for these programs. Staff said these are not NSP's costs, but instead are from Efficiency One.
  • Ability to Invest covers the need for NSP to have capital. The Return on Equity requirements, to remain at 9 per cent, will include a margin of plus or minus 0.50 per cent and an equity ratio, currently set at 37.5 per cent, to step up in phases to 45 per cent by the end of 2024.

Depending how long the URB takes to consider the application, the new rates for 2022 could come into effect on Aug. 1, 2022. The other steps are proposed to come into effect on Jan. 1, 2023, and Jan. 1, 2024.

“I want our customers to know that we don't take decisions about raising rates lightly,” Gregg said. “We understand the impact that rate increases can have on our customers and it's been a huge consideration as we've contemplated filing this application.

“We recognize that every dollar that we invest in our operations comes at a cost to our customers. That means that we always need to balance affordability with the investments needed to ensure reliable power is provided to our customers across Nova Scotia.”

Gregg said it's important to continue to invest in the system to meet the commitment to provide safe and reliable electricity to all of NSP's customers.

The creation of the DDA is to meet commitments to a greener system but avoid putting all of the accelerated costs on the shoulders of customers all at once, he said.

“We think this is a prudent and effective way of doing it,” he said. 

As for the system access fee for customers who will be generating their own electricity, Gregg said it's an issue of fairness or equity.

“What we want to avoid is customers that don't have access or the ability to generate their own electricity to be covering the cost or subsidizing costs for those who do have the ability to do it. And that is the situation that exists right now.”

Those who generate electricity currently qualify for a subsidy that reduces the amount they pay on their bill but they continue to be connected to the grid and receive some power. As they pay less, it happens that the rest of customers' costs go up, Gregg said.

With the storm rider, Gregg said NSP is not asking for a way out of having responsibility to harden the system against weather. Instead, the storm rider process depends on having four increasing levels of storm events. The first two levels would be accounted for in existing rates. The storm rider would only come into effect if a storm's ferocity reaches into the third and fourth levels.

NSP doesn't want to build contingency costs into rates in advance for the more extreme storms as that would increase every bill.

“What we're saying is if those more extreme weather events do occur, whether Level 3 or Level 4 storms, and there's more cost that comes from that over and above the forecast that become set in rates, then we would have the ability to come back and seek to recover those costs with a two per cent cap annually in place. And so the motivation still exists to manage our costs appropriately.”

When asked why NSP did not choose to ask for a reduction in their built-in profit, Gregg said they are not asking for more than what they need to run a reliable business.

B.C.'s appeal court has given full-throated support to the actions of provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry in a dismissal of an appeal challenging the legitimacy of orders restricting in-person services.

In a unanimous decision released Friday, the province's top court said orders Henry gave limiting religious gatherings and events may have infringed on fundamental freedoms guaranteed Canadians — but were justified under either of two crucial legal tests.

"I acknowledge that the orders imposed significant burdens on many members of our community," wrote Justice Gregory Fitch, who penned the ruling on behalf of all three appeal court judges.

"I do not see how it could have been otherwise. The pressing goals underlying the orders could not be attained without limiting gatherings that posed an unacceptable risk to public health."

The appellants's lawyer says his clients — who include faith leaders from Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley — are "disappointed" in the decision. 

"In our view, this decision fails to provide the parameters and guardrails to guide government to respect constitutional freedoms of British Columbians," said Marty Moore with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, in an interview with CBC.

"There remain people of faith across the province, who are facing legal jeopardy under these particular public health orders." 

Moore says his clients are considering whether to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. 

A limited victory

The ruling comes after an appeal of a lower court ruling in which B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson also sided with the government in relation to a petition seeking a declaration that Henry's orders had infringed on their religious freedoms.

The initial petition was launched by a group of Fraser Valley pastors and Alan Beaudoin, a man described by the lower court as an "activist" who involves himself "in advocacy for both what he sees as his own rights and those of others."

The orders in question started with a Nov. 18, 2020, suspension of "all indoor and outdoor events, including in-person gatherings for religious worship."

In the months that followed, Henry issued further directions confirming basic limitations on gathering but allowing for certain exceptions like a minister visiting someone at home.

On Feb. 10, 2021, she also clarified that she was not prohibiting "outdoor assemblies for the purpose of communicating a position on a matter of public interest or controversy" — which would prove significant in Beaudoin's case.

In the lower court decision, Hinkson found Beaudoin's right to freedom of expression was infringed by the orders predating Feb. 10, 2021, and said "the infringement of those rights by those orders cannot be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society."

But he said the pastors weren't entitled to mount a Charter challenge to the orders, because the process under which they asked Henry for a reconsideration allowed only for a judicial review of the reconsideration itself — not the order underpinning it.

Regardless, Hinkson said Henry's orders would have been justified under a section of the Charter that allows governments to put limits on rights and freedoms in certain situations.

'A range of reasonable outcomes'

In appealing, Beaudoin said Hinkson's declaration that his rights had been infringed didn't go far enough. And the pastors argued that the judge applied the wrong test to determine if the orders were justified.

In Beaudoin's case, the appeal court judges agreed with the government's argument that his appeal was moot because the charges against him were stayed and there were no longer any orders in place prohibiting large gatherings.

The judges also rejected the grounds for appeal put forward by the pastors.

Fitch said Hinkson was right to apply a legal test that says administrative decisions must reflect "a proportionate balancing of the Charter protection" with the statutory mandate of the provincial health officer.

"The public health orders made by the PHO at the height of the second wave of the pandemic could not have been made in a more challenging and complex environment. The orders were informed by the public health officer's expertise and experience," Fitch wrote.

"In my view, the time-limited ban on in-person gatherings for religious worship fell within a range of reasonable outcomes."

But Fitch went further, applying the test the pastors asked the court to use, which says "the objective of the measure giving rise to the restriction is pressing and substantial, and that the means employed to achieve that objective was proportionate."

'She was uniquely qualified'

The appeal court decision speaks directly to the arguments raised by one of the intervenors in the case, the Association for Reformed Political Action of Canada — which spoke about a respect for "pluralism."

"A free society is a pluralistic one in which individuals are entitled to pursue, within reasonable limits, their individual beliefs. But to live in community is also to acknowledge our interdependence," Fitch wrote.

"The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted our interdependence as a community. It forced us to confront the reality that the pursuit of some activities, including the exercise of some constitutionally protected rights, would increase the risk of exponential spread of the disease and the loss of human life."

The appeal court judges said Henry "made time-limited and setting-specific orders restricting activities she considered to be most likely to foster widespread transmission of the virus."

"She was uniquely qualified to make these decisions," the decision reads.

"The exercise of her judgment must be afforded deference."

Churches violating COVID-19 rules should lose tax grant, says Township of Langley councillor

Coun. Kim Richter is calling for action against places of worship fined for COVID-19 violations

Churches in the Township of Langley could lose property tax grants after being fined for breaking  COVID-19 rules if a local councillor succeeds with a motion presented to council this week. 

"I'm angry that I'm paying extra taxes to subsidize these organizations," said Township of Langley Coun. Kim Richter.

She introduced a motion at Monday's council meeting calling for churches or other places of worship which don't obey COVID-19 rules to lose their eligibility for a grant in 2022.

Township staff will look at the legal language of the motion and council will discuss the motion again at a meeting on Jan. 21.

Richter, a business management instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, said taxpayers make up the difference when places of worship get a break on their property taxes.

"I don't think it's fair that an organization that is getting subsidized by public monies should be allowed to put the public at risk through their willful behaviours and actions in a period of time when we are in a global pandemic and under provincial emergency rules," said Richter.

Taxes could be recouped

The seven-term councillor also wants changes to Township rules so that the municipality can repeal and or recoup property tax exemptions granted in 2020 and 2021 from any organizations that have been fined.

She said the Riverside Calvary Church in the Township of Langley has been getting the exemption since 2014. However, the church has been fined $4,600 recently for violating COVID-19 rules.

"The organization in question that's been fined twice now is estimated to receive a 2021 tax exemption of $13,700," pointed out Richter.

Richter hopes other communities will consider taking similar action.

According to the B.C. government's website, places of worship are automatically eligible for property tax exemptions through the provincial government. Local governments have the authority to exempt eligible properties from other property taxation for a specified period of time.

Marty Moore, a barrister and solicitor with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms in Calgary, has been reviewing the public health orders in B.C. In a written statement to CBC News, he said the Township of Langley council's motion violates faith communities' charter right of religious freedom.

Church leaders differ on revoking tax exemptions

Church leaders across the province differ on whether other municipalities should take away property tax exemptions from places of worship that don't follow the public health orders.

Tim Zotzman, pastor of The Voice of Pentecost Church in Williams Lake, which has been closed since November, says churches that have been fined shouldn't receive additional penalties.

"[Repealing property tax exemptions] is discrimination against specifically the church," Zotsman told Michelle Eliot, host of CBC's BC Today. "COVID outbreaks aren't really restricted simply to churches."

 Beth Hayward, lead minister of Vancouver's Canadian Memorial United Church, welcomes the idea of repealing property tax exemptions for churches that don't follow public health orders. (Isabelle Raghem/CBC)

But Beth Hayward, lead minister of Vancouver's Canadian Memorial United Church, welcomes municipalities' withdrawal of tax breaks for non-compliant churches.

"If there is authority in any level of government to ensure that everybody follows the rules and faces the appropriate repercussions if they don't, I'm supportive of that," Hayward said.

Brad Sumner, lead pastor of Surrey's Jericho Ridge Community Church near Langley, says he worries the minority of outspoken voices against public health orders within the religious community may taint all churches in a bad light in the future.

"There's no shortage of Christians behaving badly through history or in [the] contemporary world, but when that becomes the dominant narrative that everyone is talking about all the time, that becomes challenging for those who are in the … silent majority [who follow public health orders]," Sumner said.

Use of credit scores by auto insurers growing in N.B. despite once universal opposition

Use of credit scores by auto insurers growing in N.B. despite once universal opposition

A 2010 political consensus on banning the practice has faded

 
Robert Jones· CBC News ·
Michèle Pelletier is New Brunswick's Consumer Advocate for Insurance. She opposes auto insurance companies using credit scores in setting premiums. (Consumer Advocate for Insurance )
 
The New Brunswick Insurance Board continues to grant new requests from auto insurance companies to use the credit scores of drivers to help set rates in the province, even though New Brunswick's independent Office of the Attorney General has openly questioned the fairness of the practice, and more drivers per capita in New Brunswick have poor credit than anywhere in the country.

Michèle Pelletier, New Brunswick's consumer advocate for insurance, opposes the use of credit scores in setting insurance rates and says nothing short of an intervention by the provincial government will stop it from becoming standard practice.

"In order to change that, government needs an appetite to change it," said Pelletier in an interview.

"I don't know why they're not. I guess there is no appetite for that."

This summer the provincially-appointed insurance board, which regulates the amount companies operating in New Brunswick can charge for auto coverage, accepted requests from related companies Northbridge General Insurance and Zenith Insurance for permission to charge consumers — with otherwise comparable driving profiles — different prices for coverage based on their credit history.

Wawanesa is New Brunswick's largest auto insurer and was one of the first to gain permission to use driver credit scores in setting rates.

The insurance board granted similar requests to several other companies last year after accepting evidence that people with poor credit are more likely to have a future accident or other adverse incident, like a theft, than those with good credit. 

New Brunswick's largest auto insurer, Wawanesa, was among the first to raise the issue, telling the board in 2021 that an individual's level of risk taking, risk tolerance and responsibility with financial matters, as reflected in their credit score, is a behaviour that can show itself in other forms of risk taking, like bad driving.

"Those policyholders who are likely to generate the highest costs will be charged more than those who are likely to generate lower costs," Wawanesa said of its intended use of the credit information.

That argument, and the fact the New Brunswick government has not specifically banned the use of credit scores in setting insurance rates, convinced the board it had no basis to decline the requests.

"New Brunswick has no restriction on the use of credit scores, though other factors like gender, age and marital status are prohibited," wrote the board this year in its decision on the Northbridge application. 

Companies need permission from drivers to see their credit reports and have pledged not to penalize those who refuse or have poor credit. Instead, discounts for those with good credit are offered although amounts are confidential.

That allows drivers with identical vehicles and driving profiles, but different credit histories, to be charged different amounts.

Unknown as a rate-setting factor for auto insurance in New Brunswick prior to last year, Pelletier said the use of credit scores is becoming widespread.

"Nobody was using it but now they are all using it or they are all asking to use it," she said.

Former attorney general Kelly Lamrock helped pass a law in 2010 that gave the province the power to use regulations to ban the use of credit scores by auto insurance companies when setting rates. The power still exists but no regulation was ever written. (Pat Richard/CBC)

New Brunswick Liberal and Progressive Conservative MLAs jointly passed legislation in 2010 to grant a future government the power to ban credit scoring as an auto insurance rate-setting factor if companies ever attempted to adopt the practice.

Then-attorney general Kelly Lamrock said like similar restrictions New Brunswick places on the use of age and gender in setting auto premiums, poor credit was not an appropriate distinction to make among drivers.

"Poverty tends to lead to bad credit," said Lamrock.

"We do not think that you should be making judgments about an individual because that individual happens to be a member of a group that tends to have certain outcomes. You cannot use that as a basis for setting rates."

Progressive Conservatives under then-leader David Alward supported the legislation and it passed with wide support.

Mixed signals from government

For more than 10 years auto insurance companies left the credit score issue alone, and so regulations to ban its use were not pursued. Now that it has resurfaced, the New Brunswick government has given mixed signals about whether it remains concerned or not.

In the Northbridge hearing the government's designated representative of the public interest, the Office of the Attorney General, pointedly questioned the appropriateness of insurance companies being allowed to use credit scores.

It raised concerns with the insurance board about the likely effect it will have on low-income drivers. It also raised the possibility that singling out poor credit might be a back door entry for companies to charge extra to those they are otherwise forbidden from treating differently, like single people or seniors.

"The OAG [Office of the Attorney General] argues that the inclusion of credit scores in the rating formula may adversely impact those in vulnerable socioeconomic groups as it may lead to increased premiums," wrote the board in summarizing the government's legal argument. 

An SUV crashed into a vehicle with a piece of police tape on it. There is snow on the ground and a Gardaworld SUV in the background. Auto insurance companies claim evidence shows accidents happen more frequently to drivers with poor credit scores. New Brunswick's Office of the Attorney General questioned that causal relationship at hearings earlier this year. (Radio-Canada)

"Furthermore, as the OAG notes the difficulty in establishing a direct causal relationship between credit score and exposure to automobile insurance losses, it argues that credit score may be a proxy for other restricted rating variables."

But a question to the New Brunswick government about why it hasn't moved against the use of credit scores in setting automobile rates, given concerns about the practice raised by the attorney general's office and powers granted to the government by the legislature to act, went unanswered on Monday.

It is a potentially significant issue for many since New Brunswick adults have a higher incidence of poor credit than anywhere in Canada.

According to Canada's Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, 46 of every 10,000 New Brunswick adults experienced an insolvency in 2021. It was the highest rate in Canada among provinces or territories for the fourth year in a row and 58.6 per cent above the national average.

For the record I wrote this email in a hurry while making many phone
calls. I make no apology whatsoever for any honest mistakes in a time
of great stress. My Farmer friend Werner Bock and  must go out and
secure the evidence of more of his cattle dying today while the RCMP
laugh at our concerns with the DHS and his persecution.
Whereas all my calls to the RCMP recently are always directed to some
noname Commissionaires  I just got off the phone with the purported
boss of the Commissionaires Mr. Driscoll in his National Office to ask
him why my concerns concern his people and not the RCMP. As usual he
was too busy to talk to me so I called to talk Ms. Clowater one of his
underlings in Saint John once again and she just tried to difer me to
someone else as usual.
To say that II am tired of people playing dumb would be an
understatement on quite possibly the last day 39th Parliament sits
this summer. It appears to me that your  first line of defence in your
support of public corruption boils down to retired RCMP and military
people EH Stockwell Day? If So then So be it. They will receive Hard
Copy of my material BEFORE we meet in Federal Court even though my old
classmate from High School Bruce Noble and every law society and court
in Canada have acknowledged that email and their attachments etc are
very legal and very binding evidence. That is why Fat fred city has
now web page email just like Mr. Harper's cohorts do N'est Pas Brucy
Baby?
 For the record the dude who calls himself "freddybeachsleuth" is NOT
me. The fact  that he steals my name and thunder like the nasty
bastard in Edmonton Alberta Dean Roger Ray did over a year ago should
be of great concern to the RCMP. Correct?
Here are some of the people I called just now.

I am doing as I just promised to the DHS and am posting this email on
the Internet in several places immediately. This will be the first
place.
http://davidamos.blogspot.com/2005/03/me-and-bush.html
For the record the Irving media who are reporting the American
nonsense byway of cut and paste of the Canadain Press are ignoring the
fact that to Office of Inspector General of the Department of Homeland
Security  answered me in November of 2003 with a complaint numbered
C04-01448 and promised to investigate my concerns long before most
Canadians had ever heard the name of Arar.
Hell I complained to the DHS the instant Wayne Easter and the Office
of  Public Complaints Against the RCMP laughed at my concerns on
November 18th and 19th, 2003. Ask the long gone Liberal Lawyer
Landslide Annie.
Now it is over six years later and the Irving media comes out with
this BULLSHIT in their local rags?
http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/front/article/article/317743
For the Record I gave the Irving rag called the Gleaner in Fredericton
New Brunswick many documents supporting my concerns about my family's
safety and the lack of integrity of the US Treasury Dept in late
January of 2002 after my wife and I met SGT Boucher of the RCMP and
left our children in Canada for safe keeping while I took on many
Yankees including the FBI while my wife argued many nasty bastards in
court. This was long BEFORE the Yankee Department of Homeland Security
or the Canadian Department od Public Safety ever came into existence.
I began my private investigations into the abuse of my Clans' Rights
and Interests in the fall of 2000 BEFORE George W. Bush was ever
elected and long before September 11th, 2001 became a very important
date in World History. That is a very simple irrefuttable fact
affirmed in writng by the US Department of Treasury in February of
2002 over one year BEFORE the Yankees attempted to falsely imprison me
in their very questionable prison in Cuba supported by false
allegations of a presidential threat made against me by the crooks
within Quincy District Court of Massachusetts on April 1st, 2003.
These ARE the very same people who ordered my wife and children to be
evicted from our home in 2005 without warrants or due process of law
over a false claim of the lawyer Angel K. Troccoli about unpaid rent
owed to nobody. She is the same lawyer whose false claims that I was
stalking her while running for a seat in the 38th Parliament in Canada
had me falsely imprisoned in October of 2004 as soon as I returned to
the USA after explaining everything in great detail to the Police
Commision of New Brunswick with a lawyer and my American wife
witnessing it all.
My concerns are the concerns of the DHS and the Department of Publi
cSafety and WE THE PEOPLE of TWO purportedly profound democracies Rest
assured we will meet in cout or my name ain't "Just Dave".

For the record my concerns about rampant cross border public
corruption are not anonymous or confidential ask the Sergeant at Arms
of the US Senate whose lawyer I argued yesterday. I was suggesting
that he uphold his mandate and arrest the President of the USA.
Clearly some Yankees took my concerns seriously last night EH

You as Police Commisioner should be also well aware of what happened
between the Cape Breton Police Force, at least two MPs and I last
January. They all received these emails and I did receive many
responses and false allegations since then Correct?
Unlike you I do my home work and I never play dumb. Thats your forte
not mine. Politics got you your fancy jobs. Of that I have no doubt.
Our conversation today was just malicious politicking that you were
practicing  on behalf of Cecil Clarke and his malicious assistant
MacDonald  CORRECT?
For the record if some nasty bastard hollers at me I holler back like
any proper Maritimer with any balls should. My father taught me that
and the ghost of the Old Lady From Hell who was one of my best friends
agrees. That is why he gave me his kilt. My father's ghost would be
the first to tell any military dude that his wild but ethical child
don't take orders from anyone and is fierce as hell without ever
losing his temper. I ain't in your god damned army and I hate those
who prompt WAR. Were peacekeepers my whole life and your new hero
Petey Baby MacKay is the latest Minister of DEFeNCE NOT ATTACK that is
why I wish to run against him in the election of the 40th Parlaiment
whilst suing Her Magesty the Queen.
Also for the record my father named me after his friend David Hornell
(a military man should know who he was) and my mother named me after
her favorite brother both men died so that nasty bastards such as
yourself should not support the efforts of men in black who come at
night and try take decent man away in front of their children just
because he had proven that  he had  the evidence to impeach a Yankee
President BEFORE the War in Iraq started. GET IT YET? Ask you boss the
latest Attorney general to show you the hard copy of my material that
has been in his office since August of 2005 before you dare to call me
a liar SIR.
Nonsense such as hollering etc don't work out to well with me EH? I
immediately raise the stakes and set up the nasty bastard for a
lawsuit. Perhaps you should contact you friends in the Police
Commission in Fredeicton or the lawyer Paul Kenendy of the Public
complaints Against Against the RCMP and ask them to forward to you
hard copy of my material so you can have lawyers  check my work more
thoroughly if Cecil Clarke and his cohorts won't tell you shit.
Perhaps Nova Scotia should  have a lawyer call me now EH Arsehole? I
waited until I got a response from the Halifax PD requesting my
material before I pounced on you once again. I will lays odd that you
had a lawyer listening in on our converstion that is why you would not
introduce me. CORRECT?
For the Record I just sent you and your buddies in Halifax PD and some
of their buddies evidence of murder once again. The Canadian Criminal
Code is still in effect in Nova Scotia. Correct? Say Hoka Hey to the
RCMP for me will ya? I will look forward to meeting you all in court
and then once again in hell someday if there truly is such a place.
Can ya tell ya pissed off the Wrong Maritimer Mr. Haney? You picked
this fight not me. Say Hoka Hey to my MP Billy casey ofr me will ya?
He has had Hard copy for wway past too long too and the recent ghost
of far too many honourable Canadian soldiers are haunting me as they
should you.
Veritas Vincit
David Raymond Amos
Rest Assured we will be disputing this and the following emails in
court someday or my name ain't "Just Dave" As I watched somebody
studying my words yesterday on the web I called the Halifax PD many
times and nobody would talk to me or call back so I called you. A
Police Commissioner can Play Dumb but at least computers don't
bullshit.

and the top of the list is my father. I must do my best to see that no
more honourable warriors become ghosts before their time for no reason
that I will ever understand or I will not peace in peace someday.
Check the time and date when I first sent this email. Clearly it was
composed and sent before Captain Nichola Goddard was killed overseas
(her family lives in your neck of the woods correct?) Didn't twenty
some of your fellow liberals vote to support Stevey Boy Harper and his
malice towards us all within the day of this email first being sent?
We all know why don't we?

Hey
         Before all the Parliamentarians argue and then vote to
support further Canadian deaths in one of George W. Bush's Wars for
Global Control for the benefit of his corporate cohorts perhaps, you
should at least listen to the attachments if you do not wish to bother
to read what Billy Casey and the Bankers got on May 12th. If I can
assist in preventing the demise of just one more Canadian warrior in a
malicious foreign war, all of my work will have been worth it EH?
          If everyone ignores me as usual, I will not be surprised.
At least I will sleep well with my conscience tonight because I know I
have done my very best to stop the nonsense since early 2002 long
before the War in Iraq began. None of you deserve to sleep well at all
because you all supported Harper's orders to send our people to war
even before the 39th Parliament sat this year. As far as I am
concerned the blood of four very honourable soldiers can be found on
your hands. Shame on all of you for not even bothering to honour our
dead by lowering the flag on the Peacetower. As long as I have been
aware and could consider myself a Proad Canadian, I thought we were
peacekeepers rather than poorly paid hired guns for crooked
corporations, corrupt politicians and their wicked Yankee bible
pounding buddies.

I have been asked to forward the enclosed tapes to you from a man
named, David Amos, a Canadian citizen, in connection with the matters
raised in the attached letter. Mr. Amos has represented to me that
these are illegal FBI wire tap tapes. I believe Mr. Amos has been in
contact with you about this previously.
Very truly yours,

Deja Vu Anyone? Anyone?
       That's what John Crosbie wore in 1979, the last time a budget
brought down a Canadian government in a minority-Parliament situation.
It proved to be a bad omen, given that the Conservative government of
the day foundered on Crosbie's document.   The mukluks proved to be
symbolic of Joe Clark's short-lived administration -- overconfident
and blind to convention. As Crosbie observed in his memoirs, Clark
"decided to govern as though we had a majority, a decision that was as
arrogant as it was presumptuous." By RANDY BURTON — Saskatoon

RE: Blowing the whistle on big banks and corrupt politicians too.
Hey,
         Flaherty's budget looming on the horizon tonight is gonna
get the big OK from the Bloc EH? Well a mean old bike mechanic in the
Maritimes has been waiting to chuck a wrench in the works of many a
crooked beancounter. I just served your offices in hand some of the
same material that Andre Arthur MP and Senator Kinsella received
before the 39th Parliament began. I am also giving you other material
and a political rant that they did not receive. The legal counsel of
all the monstrous Canadian banks have shown me their arses, two for a
month and three for almost two years. It is high time to boot you
bankers out off bed with the corrupt politicians you depend on to
cover up wrongs or sue you bastards too. N'est pas?
        You can expect to see litigation against the Crown soon. The
severe of lack integrity of people employed in public service to
protect the public interests has caused me to prosecute a matter of
public trust in Pro Se fashion. As is my right. I will do my best to
hold accountable all those in public office, public service and the
lawyers etc that have acted wrongfully against me. In the past I filed
forms in the public record and in confidence, argued cops, sued
treasury agents, lawyers, judges, an Attorney General who aspires to
be a Governor and even a high priest. To no avail, I made thousands of
phone calls, sent many more emails and sent mountains of letters
proving my concerns and sincerity. To date no one has ever called me a
liar but all of it was ignored all the same. If there were such a
thing as an honest cop, lawyer or politician they could never deny
that it is ridiculous that a whistleblower would have to go to such
lengths to attempt to see Justice
served in two purported Democracies. Pursuant to my quest for
Justice, you will find enclosed hard copy of the material that I
promised I would send to you before we meet in court. The copy of
wiretap tape # 139 that all law enforcement authorities in Canada and
the USA have refused investigate should be of the greatest concern to
all of you right away. It is served upon you in confidence as officers
of the court. Prepare to argue me about many more tapes and cases of
other documents. The bankers and I may be arguing the Securities, Bank
and Tax Fraud in the USA sooner than they think. The AT&T dudes should
have known police surveillance tapes when they heard them. EH?
        Whether you admit it or not, I know I have served upon you
some of the irrefutable evidence that should have warranted the
process to impeach George W. Bush years ago. All who sat in the 37th,
38th and now the 39th Parliament know why the Yankee DHS tried to take
me away to Cuba on April 1st, 2003. It was because of my legitimate
efforts to expose Bush and his cohorts BEFORE the War on Iraq began.
For years legions of politicians, lawyers, cops, bankers and priests
proved an Orwellian truth as they laughed at my ethical efforts to
defend the rights and interests of my Clan. "In the time of universal
deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" EH? Do you think
your banks' investors will laugh like your lawyers did? By law and the
rules of your professions you must conduct yourselves ethically and
hold matters in confidence. I do not. Now it is a rebel rouser's turn
to laugh as you turn page. Awful truths will put your fancy panties in
a knot yet make me feel
as free as my big balls do under my kilt. J
        Please fell free to sue me if you disagree but you, Stevey
Boy Harper got your party its mandate with rhetoric claiming to crack
down on crime and hold the government accountable. Now that
Conservatives have had the reigns of power for over three months,
Stockwell Day at the very least must be well aware of all the secrets
the two previous liberal governments kept from you and us Common
Canadian Citizens. The secrets about me that most other Canadians do
not give a damn about, do concern me greatly. Ask the Commissioner,
John Reid, he must know of the cover up of my efforts to expose the
well known rampant cross border public corruption that has caused my
little Clan to suffer so. His office hung up on me on the very day he
was speaking about the Conservatives' new rules to Parliament. No
doubt he knows of the evidence I have provided over the years to many
Canadian law enforcement authorities that is considered a matter of
public safety. Yet we all know it is not.
Nevertheless it has caused three very corrupt Canadian Federal
governments and all Provincial governments to willfully support the
malice of Yankee State and Federal governments acting wrongfully
against me. WHY?
          Now Harper has shown us his true colours, too bad for you
that the DHS did not manage to take me away to Cuba. EH Mr. Day? I
must ask you in court someday soon if you have listened to the
original wiretap tapes that I provided to CSIS and the RCMP before and
after the federal election in 2004. It was done before I was falsely
imprisoned in a Yankee jail. Why did the nasty Canadian Consulate
officers in Boston refuse to accept any more of the Yankee wiretap
tapes that my wife tried to give to them while I sat in jail held
under the charges of "other" without bail or even being legally
arrested or charged? As I sat in a jail in Beantown Eliot Spitzer, a
Yankee in New York made the big score with my info. Yet he allowed
Morgan Stanley to sue my wife? The 38th Parliament continued to ignore
my plight throughout its mandate. As we all watched Bush pull off
another very questionable election it appears only I saw Count
Peter-Hans Kolvenbach fly to the USA to speak in
aid of the very evil smoke and mirror show. EH?
         Whereas all Canadian authorities have ignored my pleas for
assistance for three years, I must sue the Crown to seek relief under
the Charter for my government's deliberate assistance in malicious
prosecution and false imprisonment etc. Did you politicians think I
was kidding when I said it in January on CTV News? The smirking
newsman, Stevey Boy Murphy asked me clearly and I answered him
plainly. It was watched live all over the Maritimes just minutes
before the only time I was ever allowed to debate dumb Andy Scott in
front of a live crowd as I ran against him for his seat in Parliament.
Many common folks heard me say it and have commented about it in the
months since. Some of them must have questioned some of their various
MPs by now. I watched a friend confront his MP, Greg Thompson in front
folks of two ridings. He gave all other candidates running against two
seated Conservatives a copy of the letter he served upon Thompson in
hand. Now you have your copy
too. Thompson in front of witnesses promised to respond in writing to
his constituent before polling day three months ago. Just as I
suspected, the new Cabinet Minister broke his promise. I know for a
fact in 2005 Greg Thompson, Bill Casey and Andy Scott ignored other
constituents of theirs who brought hard copy of my material to their
local offices personally while I was being illegally prosecuted in the
USA. Obviously our MPs Liberal or Conservative have no respect for
their own constituents if they are kin or friends of mine. EH?
       Check the letter that Landslide Annie McLellan sent to me when
she had Stockwell Day 's day job. Clearly she was compelled to answer
me after so many high placed Yankees had already done so. She did what
all Martinites have done in the past and blamed one of Chretien's
arseholes, Wayne Easter for my plight as a whistleblower. Stockwell
Day did you get off your Jet Ski to follow the lead of liberals such
as a dumb PEI farmer and a very malicious political lawyer from Nova
Scotia? You will not provide me any assistance whatsoever as is
required by the mandate of your office? None of your underlings even
the nervous Marshal dude will do me the simple courtesy of calling me
back just like your political cohorts never did? Your little Newfy
buddy, Rob Moore forgot something just as Landslide Annie as the
Minister of Justice did when Easter was Solicitor General. She did not
have any idea what mechanism a layman would employ to hold many a
corrupt Parliamentarian
accountable. The answer is so simple to me. Sue the Bastards. Didn't
anyone notice I have done it in the past to many Yankees? I have
changed my style and waited until some very corrupt public servants
were out of public office so that they could not employ the weight of
a corrupt justice system against me. Vic Toews will have his job cut
out trying to defend the malice of all three recent government
mandates two of them liberal against one Proud Canadian. EH? J
       Whereas Federal Court in Canada does not allow me the right to
a trial by jury and its Commissioner David Gourdeau has shown his arse
too, I plan to do a double check in the USA. With luck, at about the
same time my matters may begin in Fredericton, I will be seeking a
jury in a Yankee Federal Court with a lawsuit against some very
crooked Canadian political lawyers and their many Yankee associates
acting against other Canadians, Yankees and me. In the "mean" time I
have been lining up ducks while Jumping Jimmy Flaherty was drop
kicking his wicked budget past the very confused corrupt clucking
Chickenshits sitting as the opposition in the Chicken House. Tonight
byway of the Bloc I am making my best fiercely political efforts to
see that all Conservatives will be looking for a new day job far from
the Hill in Upper Canada. Then I will give this material to other
bankers when I judge the time is right. Any great mechanic knows that
there is true magic in the timing of
things. If a crook in opposition blinks and mentions me in a public
forum even after the budget is allowed, it will be all over but the
crying for George W, Bush and his lapdog, Stevey Boy Harper. Who may
wish to mingle with the media soon is interesting. EH?
        If the bankers who did not wish to call me back last month
want this material explained, it is the task of the Thomson dudes,
Jealous Johnny Manley and Franky Boy McKenna to do now. I did my best
to make certain they knew everything over the years. The Thomson dudes
claim to know everything that goes on in court in Canada and the USA.
The Upper Canadian lawyer was Minister of Finance etc in the 37th
Parliament, and the Maritimer was our Ambassador to the USA under the
mandate of the 38th. They can explain the malice of Landslide Annie
and her many cohorts in support of corrupt bankers etc. Better yet let
the Yankee lawyer Michael Hefler and his Canadian counterpart Deborah
Alexander explain their support of Putnam Investments, Brian Mulroney,
Cendant Corp. and Franky McKenna's old BMO crowd etc. Tell me, do ya
think my name came up when they cooked a little deal between Citigroup
and Scotia Bank recently? Jennifer Warren should be capable of
explaining why Garfield
Emerson quit the Rogers outfit recently. Geoffrey Beattie of Thomson
Corp no doubt can explain why David Allgood is playing dumb. Need I
say that the brotherhood of the bar and bankers make me as sick as
politicians do?
       The reason I ran against the aptly named lawyer, Rob Moore in
2004 should be painfully clear to all Canadians in recent days. Stevey
Boy Harper is proving to all that he is a lapdog for Bush just like
Franky Boy McKenna said of him years ago. I do not have put one word
in the text of this letter in support of what many Proud Canadians are
agreeing with in Frank Boy's political dogma speech years ago in
support of the reelection of Rotten Ralphy Goodale. The fact that
Moore is now Canada's Parliamentary Secretary for the Minister of
Justice greatly offends me. All Canadians have the right to know why.
If he or any other Canadian lawyer had acted as a proper officer of
the court then my Clan would not be suffering from many wrongs right
now. The Yankee Carpetbagger, David Lutz whom I had given this
material to BEFORE Moore was elected in 2004 must agree. I am very
curious what Rob Moore will say in Parliament in his own defense when
I put him and Lutz in bed in a
Canadian complaint.
        Rob Moore can explain to all Canadians why I think the blood
of four very honourable Canadian soldiers and countless others can be
found on his hands and that of his cohorts. In June of 2004 during a
debate at the Moss Glen Legion we were questioned in front of many
people including David Lutz, I stated my position clearly with regards
to War. In defense of our warriors I said that they must get the best
training and weapons possible, then be kept home to defend our
country. That is their job. Lutz a Yankee draft dodger nodded in
agreement. Moore did not argue me because he did not need to. Less is
more for Moore when matters are a sure thing. The Blue Coat got the
seat he expected to win in Fundy just like my dog would have if she
had worn his coat. However Moore and Lutz are lessor men than I
because of their inaction as purportedly ethical men. If the lawyers
in Moore and Lutz disagreed with all I wrote of them since, why didn't
they sue me to protect their
reputations? The answer is the same as I have proven in the turncoat
Bad Boy Billy Matthews versus Byron Prior matter in Newfoundland.
Politically appointed Judges like Derek Green or lawyers like Bernard
Roy controlling the show in court or Inquiry only cover up and delay
awful truths. It is important that public corruption be argued in
public view quickly. Thus I will sue Crown. Before anyone attempts to
deny what I have just stated, study this material closely. Look how
sending this material to any of you is truly redundant. The evidence
that you or your associates and I crossed have paths many times in the
past is irrefutable despite the fact that I can prove my many letters,
phone calls and emails that I sent over the years. Turn the page,
lawyers. It gets worse for you J
         If any of you truly do not know who I am, it is the Fed's
fault, not mine. I can easily prove that the Feds have done no service
whatsoever for the public they have an obligation to serve. The fact
that the Feds have done their worst to keep my legitimate actions a
whistleblower secret with false claims such as confidentiality or
public security further serves to prove my point about rampant public
corruption. To refute the false claims of secrecy, I must point out
that much of my work can still be found in the public record of many
courts in Canada, the USA and on the Internet as well. Last fall my
wife saw a copy of wiretap tape # 139 in the docket of a Yankee court
that anyone could listen to. I had filed that copy in a sealed
envelope with that court in order to protect the Fourth Amendment
Rights of the people recorded on it. As you can see by the documents I
have provided that one year ago the District Attorney in Boston lost
the many original wiretap tapes
that I gave him in court in 2004. Nothing yet has been said about my
lawyer in the USA sending 9 original wiretap tapes to the Senate
Judiciary Committee in Congress this year on February 7th. So much for
Yankees upholding the law EH? Canadians are no better.
         As you can see despite my wife and my lawyer's best efforts
to stop them, the Yankees seized our home without warrants or due
process of law. A couple more Yankee bankers and insurance dudes made
out like the bandits they are. This was done while my children and I
were in Canada last summer without a home. Nobody in Canada or the UN
even bothered to care about our Human Rights. All of my pleas to the
spendthrifts Adrienne Clarkson, Pierre Pettigrew and their
replacements Michaelle Jean, Petey Baby MacKay were ignored despite
our Canadian birthright and our rights under the Charter. Canada
supported the theft of our property including many original wiretap
tapes I had in my possession in our home.
       I have been recently informed that Yankees have sold all of my
possessions at a public auction including the wiretap tapes. However,
much to chagrin of Yankees, I have proven that I have many more
wiretap tapes in Canada and elsewhere. The aforesaid malicious auction
of my property was done while my Clan is still awaiting a long delayed
trial about the illegal actions against us. Our property was supposed
to be safely stored according to the rules of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Department of Public Safety until the matter was
resolved. This latest malice begs the obvious question..
        Whereas Yankee law enforcement authorities feel free to
violate their Constitution and sell wiretap tapes of their citizens at
public auction, why can't I do the same? Interesting question. EH? Why
should I as a Canadian Citizen care about the Civil Rights of Yankee
mobsters and their families anymore when their evil government does
not? Methinks I should sell a few on EBAY in Europe to see if I can
recoup some of my losses ASAP. I could use the funds from the sale of
the wiretap tapes to sue many lawyers etc in the USA and Canada. Look
at the very dumb answers I got in 2003 from a crooked District
Attorney in Massachusetts and the corrupt US Attorney in New
Hampshire, before you try to claim that what I would be doing is
illegal. The former is a good friend of Argeo P. Cellucci and the
latter enforces federal code in the State where I now permanently
reside. Both Yankees claim the tapes are not what I say they are but
merely evidence in a probate action? What
planet do Yankee lawyers come from?
I can't be the only person on this planet who wishes to see George
W. Bush impeached ASAP. Ask the fat dumb happy Yankee Michael Moore
before you disagree. These tapes may fetch quite a price from story
hungry dudes such as he. Truth is stranger than fiction and far more
marketable and profitable with less money spent in production using
real people instead of big name actors. Even clever lawyers must admit
that wiretap tape # 139 makes one wonder what happened next. EH? Stay
tuned dudes. Small portions of other tapes may be in your email inbox
for you to listen to. Other politicians can read the text of this
letter and listen to their Parliamentary email along with the rest of
mine they have ignored for over three years. The many words of a
fiercely political rant may be added as a postscript to the text of
this letter and sent to the government's opposition first. I must be
fair. You dudes got this letter first. My next email may cause quite a
stir amongst the clucking
Chickenshits in the House. Canadians should find it very interesting
indeed if one or more the smiling bastards decide to mention my name
to the Speaker.
        How they vote against the political pollution of hot air from
the windbags of Baird and Flaherty that is stinking up the House is
critical to our future. I see no need to let all the cats out of the
bag in this letter to you but for fun just check my work. See me
teasing Derek Burney and his boss Brian Mulroney? They know the
Barbarian at the gate who is me knows what lawyers hold the keys that
lock all political parties together on both sides of the 49th
parallel. One nasty Yankee's name is Harper too. J
        That smiling bastard's law office ain't too far from the UN.
EH? Depending how far left you are Michael Ignatieff,Canada's Prince
of Darkness or our Sexist Cerebral man knows the Yankee Harper quite
well. Derek Burney and Karl Rove as aymen or Louis Freeh and the new
General Counsel of the FBI as lawyers would likely agree with little
ol me and on one thing. It is that bigassed Yankee lawyers like the
one named Harper makes little liberal lawyers such as Humpty Dumpty,
Land Slide Annie, Asinine Allan Rock, Franky Boy McKenna, and Johnny
Jealous Manley look like the little lost puppies truly they are.
Perhaps bankers etc will want Franky Boy McKenna to call some crooked
cop he knows hanging out in his hometown to figure out how to handle
me now. Before you do, check my work that I have provided to you to
see what I have already given you many clues not to. I have had enough
police harassment for any ten men to stand. My ghost or I will sue
every cop that has tried
to stop me from justifiably and legally seeking justice. There is no
middle ground for any honest man to stand on in my battles against
very corrupt justice systems in two purported Democracies. The
interests of investors in many banks would be better served if the
bankers chastised in public view a certain few employees who
deliberately failed to uphold the law and protect the public's
interests invested in their bank and many other publicly held
companies. From a Canadian's perspective of the world I know that the
interests of all Canadians are bought and sold on Yankee stock markets
everyday. I know of many lawyers who should be knocked off their high
horses ASAP. In fact I just named some them. EH?
         Canadian politicians should know this before the vote on the
budget becomes a matter of history. I truly believe that Conservatives
will continue to follow Bush's lead for the benefit of the bankers
whose HQ's surround Flaherty's office. Like Bush he will try to take
our country deep into debt. Bankers and politicians will do what they
wish with the world, tis true. Trust that I don't care the more the
merrier for me in litigation. You dudes are about to meet a rather
formidable layman in court. I have been studying and arguing law night
and day for four years, all the while clearing each and every hurtle
that rampant public corruption has thrown into my path to Justice. I
will not pity any lawyer who chooses to stand in court beside the
likes of Franky Boy, Landslide Annie and Humpty Dumpty. You can see
that Harper has ignored the words of the Accountability Act with
doubletalk if his pals need money for their party war chests. Our
little Lord of NB and his buddy
Brad Green affirmed that they knew the same truths that Rob Moore,
Franky Boy and Landslide Annie did years ago. It was within a few days
of the election and Humpty Dumpty's Third World boat named after his
wife was caught in Nova Scotia bringing cocaine to Canada along with
more Blood Coal. Humpty Dumpty employed lawyer's rhetoric and recused
himself and Landslide Annie's underlings made the matter evaporate.
Harper just looked away in support even as Humpty Dumpty picked Franky
Boy to be our Ambassador within the year to obviously support the
Yankee's malicious persecution of me rather than act within the scope
of his employment as a public servant. If bankers do not understand my
words, blame your own lawyers. David Allgood should have walked the
talk of Chris Montague's words about Red Flags in his speech on Feb
11th 2005 and called me back if he did not wish to argue me in court.
When I called both of them Deborah Alexander, Ronald Sirkis and
Jennifer Warren were past
too late. They knew of wiretap tapes and Bank Fraud etc since 2004.
       This year after the Conservative government accepted Franky
Boy's resignation and well before the TD Financial Group hired Franky
Boy, I called his spokesperson Ruth McCrae. After a minor spit and
chew ensued, she told me to sue her along with the law firm of McInnes
and Cooper. A liberal talk show host Tom Young will soon affirm that I
do not have to be asked twice to sue someone but I did call many
partners of the aforesaid law firm to see if they agreed with Franky
Boy and his outspoken gal. The words of the lawyer Costello, a partner
who argues NB Power on behalf of the Venezuela and the silence of the
rest affirmed that all apparently stood with McKenna including some of
the former partners of Paterson and Palmer. Furthermore, Franky Boy
should have disclosed everything about a potential lawsuit etc to the
TD Financial dudes before accepting his new position. However I was
very open and very honest with them as soon as I was aware of his new
job. Now that
Franky Boy and I are both back home in our old stomping grounds and I
am on the warpath, John Manley may quit hustling the Ottawa Senators
hockey team to CIBC. It would be wise to try to explain why Franky Boy
praised Yankee success at pond hockey to the law partners of Burns and
Levenson whom he partied with last fall instead of being a proper
public servant and discussing with Yankees the failings of their
partner, my Guardian Ad Litem Brian Bixby. J
          For my benefit, I made it a point to look into Stevey Boy
Harper's pale blue eyes on June 19th, 2004 when he stopped in Sussex
for ice cream the day after I debated Rob Moore the first time. We
both knew each other at a glance. Lets just say I found nothing I
admired behind Stevey Boy's eyes. His soul is far meaner than Rob
Moore's. With luck on my side, this year my fellow Maritimers should
be entertained and educated in a three-ring circus of a long awaited
monumental hoe-down in court. Our little Lord's justice system that
his buddy, Cleveland Allaby was well paid to study in secret years ago
will be the unwilling confused ringmaster to oversee the affair. When
it comes to being showmen Franky Boy and I are on and even keel. We
are both smiling bastards who crack a lot of jokes fearlessly in front
of crowds. To his advantage, he is a lawyer whereas I am not. He is
famous whereas I am not. Franky Boy is very wealthy, whereas I am not.
On the other hand, I am
honest whereas he is not. I have many friends that I can trust,
whereas he does not. I have much evidence of many crimes he has
covered up in his personal pursuit of lucre, whereas he has only fancy
legal doubletalk. Franky Boy has climbed high up on the crooked totem
pole of affluence pedaling his influence over common Maritimers
without a common man's conscience that is lost to all lawyers. Franky
Boy and his many pals in banks and companies such as the Carlyle Group
may gain the whole world at the expense of their own souls. However
one pigheaded ethical soul will try hard to hold them all accountable
by just knocking a few off their high horses. I also know there are
many souls in the Maritimes who were entertained and understand the
meaning of the old story of David versus Goliath or my name ain't
Dave. Watch me look into the eyes of the people I pick for a jury
before I start chucking rocks in court.
         Stevey Boy Harper and his little lawyer Rob Moore would not
understand why I am humming the old tune sung the dude who loved to
hang around mobsters but many other old farts like me will. They will
understand why I am writing the letter in April and delivering it in
hand to my MP Bill Casey in May. (I am sending Duccepe and Fortier the
same material Allan Rock and Franky Boy received last May) To give the
devil his due, that old dead Yankee Franky Boy sang "That's Life"
very
well. Methinks that Stevey Boy's big mistake was following the
directions of Derek Burney and Karl Rove too closely. He really should
learn to think for himself. He is flying too high in April for his own
good in May. It seems that Harper don't even know that what goes up
always comes down. The higher they go the harder they fall. Ask Humpty
Dumpty. The clucking chickens in opposition may shoot his government
down in May without the effect he desires. To challenge the opposition
to unseat him
just because he is momentarily higher in the polls is dumb beyond
belief. If Mulroney and his cohorts think Harper can win a majority in
the House next time around simply by blaming the opposition for
causing the election, they do not remember Humpty Dumpty's big faux
pas last year. I sincerely hope that next week holds a very bad day
for many nasty political Maritimers who have kissed Upper Canadian fat
fancy arses for years. It has always been Hard Times in the Maritimes
and it is their fault. N'est Pas?
       Time will tell the tale. Right now I can only wish that my
efforts help knock Jumping Jimmy Flaherty out of his new jump boots
and into the Newfy, Crosbie's old mukluks from 1979. With any luck at
all Luc Lavoie will not be so lucky anymore. He and all the other all
clucking Conservatives will start singing for more Tequila from Sheila
as Dominic LeBlanc learns how to play his Daddy's kazoo. As I look
towards the horizon in the direction of far off Upper Canada, I will
dream of Petey Baby MacKay and his very punky hunky dory sinking
beneath the waves of bullshit that has kept him afloat for years.
There is no denying that I will chuckle as I imagine his very nasty ex
sweetyfart Belinda Baby picking up the phone and calling Magna
Entertainment's Yankee VP Argeo P. Cellucci and its General Counsel
Don Amos. Her Big Daddy Franky may want to rip them new arseholes for
in order to shove each other's head into. Clearly they did not do a
good job protecting the interests
of Stronach's publicly held company from one pigheaded Maritimer who
is serious gambling man in the big game called New World Order. I am
still gambling that there is no honour amongst thieves and somebody
will blink in order to protect their own butt. I too am wondering and
ain't betting on the ethics of any politician. For instance only a
fool would bet on the ethics of Andre Arthur the Independent MP and if
he will quit being as quiet as a mouse in the House. If the government
goes down, I doubt he will get elected again. He had his chance to do
the right thing just as Chucky Cadman did years ago. The Yankee
midterm election is the biggest game in the world right now. Ask my
Clan's Senator Teddy Kennedy. J
      I will wager that I do know why nobody wants to talk to or
about me. The dark horse in this game is the one who will blink, when
and where. Knowing who won't say a word is easy. Strangely predicting
who may be honest is tough. How sad is that? For instance Senator
Kinsella's malice against me was a nobrainer. I expected it about as
much as that he would vote for Lynch in Fredericton. On the other hand
Andre Arthur had no ethical reason whatsoever to ignore me
particularly after reading things he has said in the past. His recent
appointment to oversee the CRTC proves to me that he is a crooked as
Hell. He must have known he was finally free from all the lawyers that
had once chastised him in the past. They cannot hold him accountable
for whatever he says in the House to a nationwide audience as an MP
like they once did when he spoke on local radio. The chickenshit,
Andre Arthur may be laying back and waiting for just the right point
in time to start clucking into the
Parliamentary record to make history in his own best interests. I
don't know. Nor do I care if he has a plan or is just holding to a
backroom deal. I do know when we talked on the phone months ago, I
could tell that he did not have any balls at all. The silence of a
former big talking talk show host from Quebec spoke volumes to me
months ago about why that Frenchman won't mingle with the media he now
oversees. His appointment to the committee that oversees the very
dudes who once tortured him, stinks of backroom deal and a political
payoff to me. All Andre Arthur or anyone else in the House had to do
this month or in the years before was to have the sand to stand up and
ask the Speaker in a question period on the record simply state the
following. "Who the Hell is David Raymond Amos and what the Hell is
talking about?" There I even wrote the script for him just in case he
or anyone sprouts some testicles real soon. If anyone acts like an
ethical Parliamentarian, it will be
Rob Moore's task to explain my affairs to the House. I will lay odds
that if Andre Arthur or anyone else were certain that they could
profit rather than suffer from such few words, they would. love to
make history and become the hero who saved Democracy for us all.
          Nobody will talk to me for the same reason Arthur is silent
to everyone else. It is based in political deceit. Justice is always a
matter of political will rather than the way that it should be. I am
just wise enough to know I can be the most effective in finding a
little justice when the political process is flux. Bernie Shapiro's
office and that of his fellow crook, Jean Fournier's have denied
receiving anything of mine from Andre Arthur or Noel Kinsella. That
makes me understand that I am on the right track this time. When
Shapiro's office called me last year, they were nervous campers after
I had made Parliament uphold an act and give Fournier a job so that I
could complain to him about Senator Joe Day. The far from ethical
parliamentary counselors are quite likely hiding under a rug somewhere
in the House and praying Baird's Accountability Act replaces them
soon. Shapiro and Fournier are just playing dumb while waiting to duck
out the back and scurry into
the sunset with unearned severance pays in their purses. Once they
are all out of public service, they will become just a few more
paragraphs to me in a future complaint against many individuals out of
public service I plan to sue. The rats abandoning Humpty Dumpty's boat
like David Dingwall and Howie Wilson should offend anyone with half a
mind. Most ordinary folks have all but forgotten the Dingwall affair
but I doubt most did not even know who the dude Howie Wilson was or
how he assisted Landslide Annie in making Humpty Dumpty's doings with
Tainted Blood disappear on everyone else's watch but mine. Does anyone
but me remember where the bad blood came from and who made the deal
with whom? I do. This brings me to why I find the Bloc so interesting
these days. I know Ducceppe is a crooked as the rest but some other
Bloc may want to fill his shoes. Humpty Dumpty's loss was a given, to
me. The loss of the Bloc and the Conservative gain was a surprise to
everyone. It would be
truly comical if their leader, Ducceppe were to act ethically on my
behalf after all these years. It is not beyond the realms of
possibility that he could be the next PM if the Bloc had the majority
next time around. The other parties could be so decimated by his
integrity that maybe a legion of Independents would inhabit the House.
Less of a pipe dream would be that perhaps the Bloc could get the ten
seats in Quebec from the Conservatives and truly make the Liberal
history as well. C'est Vrai?
      I know what I just stated seems crazy but think about it for a
minute. Ignore what crooked liberals such as the local talk show host,
Tom Young may say of me being a nut. He retracted "the fool for a
client spiel" in another matter when it suited his political agenda.
He knows I was not nuts in my predictions about picking Speakers, the
Tanker Malley affair or wiretap tapes too. Young was not wise to
challenge a man such as I to sue him on live radio. I ain't that
foolish not to sue Jennifer Warren and Rogers Media J
.     Whatever liberals such as Young and his cohorts in Rogers say
about me negative or otherwise on the radio almost two years later is
gravy after I had made my mission known byway of his own program. I
openly declared that it was my Securities Fraud issues that should
most concern my fellow Maritimers. Soon it is my turn to fall silent
in the text of this letter anyway. However before I do become truly
silent you may wish to know that some of you will receive this letter
in your email and see it posted on the Internet at about the same time
the budget vote becomes history. I cannot give you time to run
political damage control. I have long understood your wicked game of
hear, no evil, see no evil and speak no evil for your own benefit and
not the people you claim to serve. I know that the things like Freedom
and Justice that lawyers claim are so important in a Democracy are
merely myths. Bankers and lawyers know as well as I that Freedom does
not have prayer because
Justice is bought and sold everyday to the highest bidder in the
marketplace and the courts. Money is all the beancounters care about
as they count the percentage points of gain and lawyers follow suit in
their fees for assisting in the malice against us all. The corrupt
Yankees that you people support have taught me a lot about how to deal
with many crooked Canadians. The answer is simple. Make Justice a
matter of political will particularly in a time of War.
Now that we all understand the wicked game, why mince words anymore?
I am raising the stakes and laying some more of my cards on table
before I summons you all to court. You do not have much time to decide
if I am bluffing or not. Lets just say I have no doubt whatsoever why
the blog in CTV W5 website was deleted recently after it had stood for
almost a year. I save all blogs long before they are lost in cyber
space. The words of the one within CTV's W5 domain that was erased for
the benefit of CIBC John Manley and the Thomson dudes will resurface
somewhere else on the Internet in short order. Hard copy of the
aforesaid blog and many others will be presented in various courts
someday. Dempsey the lawyer, who has since fallen silent had
apparently filed a complaint in BC about what anybody who has studied
the banking profession knows to be true. Wise guys know the root of
all evil is not exactly money but Filthy Lucre, the words that King
James employed just once. Gain of
control over the land is the name of the game. Money is just a clever
paper tool that is based on nothing at all. The idea of money in the
form of a banknote that is no longer based on gold but debt was
invented and controlled by bankers and the same holds true for the
notion of religion invented the banker's cohorts the Roman who turned
into priests of one god. It is money I must attack and seek because it
is what the lawyers who made the rules for the benefit of bankers and
priests claim I must do in order to play their wicked game. I did so
out of the gate years ago. If you bother to check my work you will see
that I employed my right to have the freedom to have no religion at
all to attack what the smiling bastards hold most dear, their money.
       The law is clear in matters of money and beancounters rely on
such laws. It is against the law for a trustee to give money he holds
in trust to any charity on his own accord. For a well-respected old
lawyer to assist an ex FBI agent in his wrongs against the terms of a
trust and without the knowledge and accent of the beneficiaries is
interesting to say the least. To steal it and give it to a church that
the beneficiaries have no faith in is particularly offensive
especially when the Cardinal's secretary is the offended person's
cousin. When I exposed to the Feds the fact that the crooks had also
hid some of the stolen funds in a bank account in the name of a person
whose estate was long closed, things got really bad. The people who
are supposed to enforce the law turned against me for the benefit of
crooked bankers. It took me awhile to understand why the Feds were
behaving so poorly. The reason was all the pension funds of government
employees controlled by Putnam
Investments and the fact that they owned half of the Brookline
Savings Bank, another publicly held company.
         Perhaps you dudes should read the fine print of the
whistleblower form 211 that I filled out many years ago. Whereas
bankers and priests employ many puppets in the form of politicians,
lawyers, cops and priests to play their deadly game of World Control
for them, it is the puppets I must deal with day to day. However I
always knew who were sending the people to act against me. Bankers
invented money and the miserable bastards known as Jesuits invented
lawyers. Correct? The real nature of the wicked game is World Control
or New World Order just as the carpetbaggers named Bush love to say.
Before you dare to call me a liar, have the local liberal lawyer
Dominic Leblanc and non elected Cabinet Minister Michael Fortier study
the material I just sent to them. It is the same material Franky Boy
McKenna, Deborah Alexander of the Scotia Bank and Petey Baby MacKay
from Nova Scotia for example got back in 2004. As I said in the CTV
blog it is just the tip of the iceberg. J
         What I have just delivered in hand to the bankers and Bill
Casey is different material than the liberals have ever received from
me. Find the email within this material that the General Counsel of
Bell Canada, Martine Turcotte sent me in 2004 and you will see that
Bell Canada spent three days printing my files off the web. They still
did not have it all by a long shot. Ask the serial killer and his
cohorts the Feds about that simple fact. As I said earlier in this
letter now that the Stevey Boy Harper, a lapdog for the Bush regime
has shown all Canadians that his nasty arse is flying too high, it is
high time that someone gives it a boot ASAP. I will take license and
employ some of Franky Boy McKenna's choice of words.
         The only hope I see on the horizon in far off Parliament
Hill to see that that our democracy is served can be found within the
personal greed of members of the Bloc Quebecois. Yet that is the very
party that wants to break up our country. Thus I think that what I see
must be a mirage to give me false hope. All Canadians can see the
Liberals are wandering around lost in the far from deserted halls of
the House with no leader in sight. The Liberals crippled up old German
Shepherd wants to talk to high school kids and the media in the
Maritimes about the future of the liberal party but the kids and
nobody else seems to care about Humpty Dumpty anymore. Everybody wants
to talk to the Conservatives and they won't talk to anybody unless
Karl Rove and Derek Burney first bless the script. The annoying
arsekissing terrier and boss of the NDP Jacky Jackass Layton is truly
irrelevant. He has lost all credibility. Ask yourselves why the
yapping little terrier is not willing
to give the Conservatives the boot as he claims he did with the
Liberals last year. Even Layton 's old buddy Bob Rae has quit the NDP
and joined his old college roommate's liberal crowd of wealthy
thieves. Rae wants to lead liberals out of the desert for selfish
reasons of his own. The first thing Rae, a pal of Landslide Annie
bragged of on CTV the morning he announced he was running for leader
was of his work within the Security Intelligence Review Committee. It
seems he has chosen to forget my emails to him or the phone
conversation we had late in the week before. I know Rae knows that
Marion McGrath, the General Counsel of the SIRC has refused to do her
god damned job just like Franky Boy's old lieutenant Adleea Landry
does. Because of that Bob Rae felt free pat to his own back about the
work he did with the SIRC?
         Marion MacGrath and many others whose names can be found
within the enclosed documents have forever proven to me the malice of
all politically appointed public servants. The cop, Dean Buzza of the
arm of the RCMP known as IMET really pissed me off in March. I defy
anyone to try to talk to the crooked lawyer, Paul Kennedy about him.
IMET was created within a week or so of Ashcroft meeting with Easter
in November of 2003. Amongst a host of public servants that know all
too well what I say is true and ignore the law for personal gain is
Rick Hancox and his cohorts within the New Brunswick Securities
Commission. They are just like the lawyers of the Public Service
Integrity Office, sneaky Howard Wilson, Bernard Shapiro, Jean T.
Fournier and Paul Kennedy of the Public Complaints Against the RCMP
crowd. All these people are worse than useless as tits on a bull. They
are crooks. They should be fired and prosecuted immediately. At the
very least the malicious public
servants are definitely not entitled to severance pay a la David Dingwall.
        There are many honest Canadians in the Maritimes looking for
work. They could be hired to replace the corrupt politically appointed
bureaucrats we have now. I am part of that public these bureaucrats
etc are supposed to serve. I am also one of those over fifty folks
that the CARP50 dudes hustle about where to invest our money. If the
Cop Dean Buzza and his cohorts in IMET who had talked to CARP had done
their job while I was running for a seat in Parliament and truly
investigated the spike in Income Trust trading, many a banker etc
would have had their panties in a knot for months. Instead the cops
hush the CARP dudes up for the benefit of Rotten Ralphy Goodale and
his banker buddies? Furthermore the far west Conservative M.K. Braaton
deletes my words about Income Trusts from his blog after he allowed a
Yankee Deputy Dog to attack my rep while running for a seat against
his cohorts? Harper who claims Maritime roots and yet calls us
defeatists has done a little
service for all Canadians and unseated the wealthy corrupt liberals.
More importantly he has proven in a timely fashion that he living is
up to the Maritimer, Frank Boy's description of him when he had a fine
breakfast out west with the fancy former Minister of Finance two years
ago. A true Maritimer who will never admit defeat has given many
bankers who have a lot to lose fair warning that they should not side
with Harper against me. J
          Prior to printing this letter I will await the results of
the budget vote. Just in case someone in the Bloc suprises me with a
display of ethics. Yesterday and today I called many members of
various entities known as Conservatives, Liberals, NDP, Bloc, US
Congress, RCMP, FBI, CSIS, SRIC, the Fredericton Police Dept and New
Brunswick Police Commission etc for the last time and waited one more
day for someone honest to call me back. Nobody did and nobody ever
will. Here is my humble opinion for what it is worth to the deaf ears
of Upper Canadian bankers. Ed Clark should fire his new Deputy Chair
of the TD Financial Group and his lawyer Chris Montague ASAP for the
benefit of TD Bank's shareholders. Lawyers and politicians are far
easier to replace than repairing a bank's damaged reputation. The same
goes for the CIBC, John Manley and E. Jennifer Warren and of course
the RBC and David Allgood.
        Yea I know I am dreaming but at least you can never say that
you did not know before I send the text of this letter in a email
everywhere I can think of. That said guess who just played you all
like fiddle? I not only made you litigants against me in my sad
complaints but I may make this letter the introduction for a book that
I have been writing for years. It is called "Pro Se Once Removed" as
named in the first complaint that I ever filed. It is not a bad piece
of work for a layman but I am far more proud of the second complaint I
filed. I have not shown it to anyone other than litigants against me.
It is a very rare Prima Facia complaint about legal malpractice that
any lawyer should study. It has caused several Bills to be inspired in
a very corrupt Yankee Statehouse. Thomson dudes should query it
sometime. Two courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts must keep it
in the public record forever. The matters began and ended in Dedham
MA, hometown of Sumner
Redstone and the stomping grounds of his old Harvard Law School pal,
Charles J. Kickham Jr., my wife's evil cousin. The matters were
delayed and dismissed over a year after my opposition to Cardinal
Law's motion to dismiss was destroyed after the cases were removed
illegally and doctored in federal court without any hearing
whatsoever.
        Clark Kent Irvin, the former Inspector General of the
Department of Homeland Security should know all about Truth Justice
and the American Way. Ask him if US District Court docket #
02-CV-11686-RGS or Norfolk Superior Court docket # 02 01113 are worth
checking out. I legally signed the complaint in my wife's name as her
attorney in fact after she had suffered a breakdown because of the
wrongful actions against her by her kin and the justice system over
mere matters of money. The Yankee Court accepted the sad complaint and
filed in the last hour of work before July 4th, 2002. Within weeks I
gave the US Secretary of State his copy byway of the Ambassador Argeo
P. Cellucci to remind Yankees why their forefathers rebelled against
the Crown (No taxation without proper representation). The rest is
history.
         Now that I have chucked my wrench, I must deal with a far
more important matter I have at hand. Whereas my family needs a roof
over their heads, I looked around to see which Maritime crooks live
handy to where I'm camped right now. I decided there are Three Stooges
in each big party that I should sue soon. To the left I see the
easiest of all, Whining Wayne Easter. Landslide Annie confirmed her
pal's malice towards me during the 37th Parliament. Franky Boy McKenna
is the very political banker/lawyer who worked against me in the USA
under the mandate of the 38th Parliament for the benefit of Yankee
banks. Plus he really pissed me off when he had too much fun with my
G.A.L. while my wife and kids were in the streets around Beantown.
Franky Boy's old pal Andy Scot is a close tie with the Newfy Bad Boy
Billy Matthews as the dumbest and nastiest of all Maritime
Parliamentarians. It is the failure of the NDP and the Conservatives
that they sit in the 39th Parliament
today. To the right, are Rob Moore, Greg Thompson and Bill Casey for
reasons I already explained. These Maritime Stooges have properties to
fill the bill of my Clan's needs. I will sue them along with my
G.A.L., Bixby's law firm in Canada in order to seek some immediate
relief from the wrongs. I love teasing hostile laymen with a temper.
Thus Wayne Easter and Greg Thompson will be a lot of fun in court. Ask
the goddamned biblepounders Cardinal Law or Pat Robertson's song and
dance man Johnny Never Been Good Ashcroft why I love to argue lawyers.
         Canadian lawyers should consider the following. Whereas the
Crown stood with the USA and the Holy See against me it has caused the
Queen to lose Sovereign Immunity in the USA on two counts. As soon as
I crossed an international border with the former Governor General's
blessings in hand and into a Yankee jail, all MPs should have paid
attention. Instead they ignored the fact I was held under the charges
of "other" before Clarkson made her last Speech from the Throne to
allow the 38th Parliament to begin. J
           This is no conspiacy theory as liberal talk show hosts
like to suggest. You are looking at hard copy of the proof of what I
say is true. clearly before I went into the Yankee jail, I had
notified many Canadian authorities and my Yankee lawyer etc that my US
Mail to the Canadian Consulate in Boston had been blocked and directed
elsewhere and that my Canadian Mail to the General Counsel of the RCMP
had disappeared. That is Mail Fraud practised by two governments of
two countries on the same day in order to cover up a conspiracy
against me. The Canadian Consulate finally did come to visit me in
jail after a few days with prodding from my friends and relatives but
my Yankee lawyer friend never did. The Canadian public servants were
bearing hard copy of more false allegations that have since
disappeared from the public record. I told the Consulate off and went
back to my cell and said Bingo to myself. The nut of Sovereign
Immunity in regards to the Crown, the Holy
See and the USA was cracked not once but twice in October of 2004.
You hold the proof in your hands. Call me crazy and put it in writing
in fact, I Double Dog Dare Ya To.
          In closing I confess I have no false illusions. Any man
with half a mind has understood for years why I must prosecute matters
Pro Se. Ethical lawyers and politicians do not exist. They created the
myth called Justice to suit their own selfish ends. I have no doubt
whatsoever the weight of a corrupt justice system will try hard to
smother my complaints. I expect all you to maintain standard operating
procedure and ignore me as our government acts wrongfully on your
behalf. I also know some common men like me will not. Some of us vote
and invest money too. Some of us know our rights and interests are
bought and sold on Yankee stock markets everyday for the benefit of
crooks that ignore the public trust. Some of us are broke and can't
vote but are fierce political animals when the evils of longstanding
governments are insufferable. It is not only our right but it is our
duty to do so. I also know that many Canadians were raised to Hate War
and are proud that much
of the World recognizes us as Peacekeepers. Even the dumb as a post
Stevey Boy Harper, a Canadian lapdog of the Yankee moron, George W.
Bush and the Yankee Norfolk County Sheriff and his equally dumb Deputy
Dog, Robert F. O'Meara must know at least that.

Nova Scotians are getting more protection from cyberbullying with the
hiring of five investigators for the new CyberSCAN investigation unit.
They will begin their work in the next few weeks. The unit will
investigate all cyberbullying complaints, helping victims resolve
situations through informal or legal means.

The CyberSCAN unit is governed by the Cyber-safety Act, legislation
passed in the spring to ensure all Nova Scotians have a place to turn
when they experience, or are aware of, cyberbullying.

The Glen Canning Week-End Update

In the last seven or so days I have received seven "comments" to my
postings. Four of them were from Glen Canning. In one churlish missive
he said. "there are copyright issues with this, I reported this to
google." Of course when you post the picture of the writer and his
name there can be no "copyright issues" real or in this case imagined.
Indeed what a picayune little man.

In one missive Mr. Canning cried that I  "should burn in hell."

In another, he prevaricates about "being a member of Canadian Forces
for twenty-five years," and he better "not find out I was also." I
don't know about "being a member of Canadian Forces," because those of
us who were serving officers in CF (roughly twenty years) or in any
capacity say they "served in CF," not members of some sort of
exclusive club.

The other posts were as these, fits of pique, except where Glen
Canning solicited an anonymous  poseur to threaten me..."expect us"
indeed.

Two things Mr. Canning, none of my two children have heard of you. So
claiming to insult my children is really bad form, even for an
insignificant little man who is, or was a criminally negligent father.

I can understand your emotionally charged churlishness Mr. Canning. My
children are successful, and close. Your daughter is dead, because you
were deficient as a parent.

The Cybertip, RCMP and the Edmonton Police know that I have been
complaining of these perverts stalking my kids since 2007 and the
latest Premier of Nova Scotia and all his cop buddies just laugh at me
while Harper has his buddy read another bullshit speech and Canning
blogs about it? Yea right. You people must have no conscience
whatsoever. How else could you bastards sleep at night?

"Our Government will focus on protecting the most vulnerable of all
victims, ourchildren. Recent tragic deaths, including those of Amanda
Todd, Rehtaeh Parsons,and Todd Loik, have shocked Canadians. Our
Government will introduce legislation giving police and prosecutors
new tools to effectively address cyberbullying thatinvolves criminal
invasion of privacy, intimidation and personal abuse."

Hi Sonya - Unfortunately, people are
continuing to post content online that is distasteful and hurtful to
others. We strongly encourage you, if you haven't already, to report
this site directly to Blogger. It's important to be aware that it may
not violate their terms of use and it’s up to them whether or not they
remove the page.

        * Patrick Heart
It's also important to note that we live in a country
where free speech is respected and just because someone doesn't like
the content doesn't mean it has to be removed. (I read the post, it's
clearly some idiot looking for attention... but a far, far stretch
from being hate speech which is illegal in Canada.)
August 15 at 10:28am· 1

        * Sonya D Higgins
I am aware that the content is both distasteful and
hurtful. I was wondering if it falls under the new cyber-bulllying
law, becaue Rehteah and her family continue to be targets of trolls on
the internet

The Cyber Bullying law only applies to Nova Scotia and
it is one of the most ridiculous and dangerous laws to threaten free
speech to be enacted in Canada. Before anyone gets all emotional, read
this article because it has consequences for all of you if someone
doesn't like anything you say online:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/nova-scotia%E2%80%99s-awful-cyber-abuse-law-makes-bullies-of-us-all-184104046.htm

What happened to Rehteah was awful, but making knee jerk laws is not
the answer! I for one, cannot wait until the law is challenged in
court and thrown out. (Fortunately, the rest of Canada is looking at
our Government like they are idiots -- which they clearly are for
enacting this law.)

I can't figure out how to report it. not just this

Police now that you are aware of that blog site can you please report
it, or advise us how to report? It goes beyond distasteful, some sick

Edmontonian/Calgarian Barry (Walter) Winters

Given the costs and embarrassment of being exposed why troll at all? I
recently asked that very question to a blogger who has written some
very disturbing things about my daughter as well as me, her mother,
Arabs, Muslims, First Nations Peoples, and many, many others. His
response thus far, other than to “dissuade” me from emailing him, has
been silence. He has gone on a panic posting spree. Getting as much
hate spread as he can before he’s gone.

To be clear, I fully support freedom of speech and am not interested
in censoring anyone, especially not for a lack of taste, class, and
decency. He can post away for all I care. I doubt anyone even visits
his pathetic site and if they do I’m sure they leave rather quickly.

I do believe there is a point when behaviour online becomes criminal.
Stating to have seen images of an underage girl naked could very well
mean this individual is accessing child pornography and that may need
to be looked into by law enforcement. I have been in touch with the
police in Edmonton. If he has accessed these images they may be on his
computer.
Barry Winters

Barry Winters
This is Barry (Walter) Winters. Winters does work the the Department
of National Defence in Alberta, possibly in a security role. He’s run
his blog since 2009 and appears to have covered every topic under the
sun but is fixated on an individual I’ll not name (besides me, he’s
fixated on me too).

Winters emailed me, much to my surprise, when I found out through
another source he was behind the site. At first I really didn’t care
because he’s just one nut and the bowl is full, so to speak. We’ve had
lots of trolling on the memorial page and I’ve had some comments
posted here that are disgusting to be polite about it. Ignoring them
is the best policy unless they are threatening or criminal in nature.

I can’t understand the why though? Why post this type of hateful
dribble if being exposed for doing so could have serious consequences.
Winters works for DND. Do they know he wants to shoot Palestinians, or
as he calls them, “the under-evolved animals.”

    The Muslim and self described “palestinian” immigrants aren’t
Canadians or fit in here as real Canadians. Lets give them, Fatima and
the kiddies ten minutes to clear out of Canada, and then start
shooting the under-evolved animals.

Or how about this one:

    Indians are drunken pigs.

His claims to have seen child pornography involving Rehtaeh Parsons is
puzzling. Usually the kinds of people who view something as sick as
child porn don’t openly brag about it.

    I HAVE SEEN naked pictures of Rehtaeh.

There’s a lot more filth and hateful comments on his site. I can’t
read it, it’s nothing more then the ramblings of a sad angry little
man who is so frustrated with life he just wants to share his pain. I
really hope DND takes a look at Barry. Our tax dollars should be going
to better Canadians than him.

Trolls do what they do for a reaction. They almost never think there
will be consequences for it.

        Glen, keep us updated. Blogs, Twitter and Facebook are
delivering the news that matters. Deeply saddened that you’ve been
forced to contend with this after the loss of your daughter. Bullies
want our silence. Heartened to see you have the courage to take a
stand.

    What an evil, disgusting, miserable POS Barry Winters is. Glen, I
am so sorry about this nightmare you and your family have endured. I
know that nothing can ever bring Rehtaeh back, but I hope and pray
that justice will eventually be served. Sending you, Leah, and Rehtaeh
all of my love.

Harness racing group mounts campaign to 'seize' control of Fredericton Exhibition Grounds

City leader dismayed by undermining of property development plan

A desperate attempt by Horse Racing New Brunswick to find a new venue may create a hitch in a plan by the City of Fredericton and NBEx to develop housing on the Exhibition Grounds and the mayor of Fredericton, for one, is not happy about it.

"A plan has been established for this site," said Kate Rogers.

"It's in our city centre, and there's so much we need to do with that land — namely housing … 20 per cent of which will be affordable housing."

The horse racing group is facing the end — and non-renewal — of its lease this month at Exhibition Park Raceway in Saint John and is looking for another city where horses can board, exercise and race. 

No racing since 2016

"If we can't be here, we've got to be in Fredericton or Moncton, and Fredericton already has a track," Guy Barbara, Horse Racing New Brunswick president, said during a recent meeting posted on the group's official fan page on Facebook.

Horses are still boarded in Fredericton, but regular horse races have not been held in the city since 2016, when the harness racing group had a legal dispute with NBEx and its lease was not renewed.

Over the last several years, the board of NBEx, which has a long-term lease for the Exhibition Grounds from the city, expiring in 2032, has worked jointly with the city on a redevelopment plan.

Hundreds of community members were engaged in that process, said Rogers.

"We're quite far along in imagining what that is going to look like."

Besides housing, the city and NBEx board envisioned a school, a recreation centre and the exhibition for the site's future, but not a horse racing track.

Zoning bylaws are being put in place, said Rogers, and the next step would have been to call for proposals from developers, together with the NBEx board.

"Instead we have a group that has now made a provincial plea for people to sign up to thwart that plan and I find that unacceptable," she said.

"It's disheartening, it's startling and it baffles me that something like that would take place."

Rogers was referring to plans discussed openly and posted about on the horse racing group Facebook page to stack the membership of the NBEx and its board with people who would approve of holding at least a few race days at the Fredericton track next season and in the coming years — which would obviously clash with the prospect of moving ahead with onsite housing development.

Through a combined effort with cattle farmers and draft horse owners, a few "horse people" were elected to the NBEx board at last May's annual general meeting, said Charlie Miles, in the Facebook video of the Dec. 10 meeting in Saint John. 

Terms on board expiring

Miles is another Horse Racing New Brunswick board member and a longtime horse owner, trainer and driver from Fredericton.

Next spring, six more director terms will be expiring, he said.

He urged horse racing enthusiasts from across the province to buy $20 memberships in Agricultural Society 34 in order to have voting rights for the next board election. The deadline to join is Dec. 30 at noon.

"If we want to seize that track we can," Barbara said in the video.

Barbara, who lives in Saint John and used to run a hotel, told the meeting about his plans to lease O'Malleys Irish Pub, give Horse Racing New Brunswick free office space and offer simulcast wagering.

Barbara was not available for an interview with CBC News, but he sent a direct message questioning the City of Fredericton's intentions for the Exhibition Grounds.

"Fredericton city council in conjunction with developers wish to eliminate this green space to generate more money. HRNB will always stand with local horse men, farmers, cattlemen, and any other agricultural groups that wish to save this site for its original intended use — agricultural appreciation."

NBEx, also known as Ag-34, is the only remaining agricultural society in the province, he said, and the board passed a motion several years ago to open membership provincewide.

The NBEx has a membership of about 160, said executive director Mike Vokey, so if Horse Racing N.B. gets 50 of its supporters to attend the annual general meeting, it could "easily sway the direction of the organization."

As of Wednesday afternoon, about 80 new members had signed up in the past year, said Vokey. He called that a significant increase.

But it's not clear whether a pro-horse-racing board would, in fact, be able to bring horse racing back to Fredericton.

Housing plan 'secured'

"The coup that is being intended — their desired outcome is not as straightforward as they may imagine," said Mayor Rogers.

The plan for housing is "very much secured," she said, through a secondary municipal plan that does not include harness racing as a permitted activity on the property.

However, the city did not respond to a request for clarification about whether the property is still zoned to allow horse racing.

As an alternative, Rogers offered to meet with Horse Racing N.B. to help identify areas outside the city for a possible track, "if there is a life beyond for harness racing."

Horse Racing board members discussed the struggling state of their sport during the Dec. 10 meeting.

Hopes for P.E.I. interest

Their hopes for the future are pinned on finding a "partner" in Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island, where harness racing still goes on, after being refused by the government of New Brunswick.

Barbara said Red Shores Racing in P.E.I. was open to talking.

"They need New Brunswick horses to have a good product," he said.

Ten race dates have been proposed for Connell Park in Woodstock next summer, where one race day was held this year. Ten is the minimum that would be required to have simulcast betting in the province. 

The race dates and the simulcasting both require the approval of the Atlantic Provinces Harness Racing Commission.

Following is the e-mail address for the Minister of Tourism in New Brunswick. Rather than put efforts on the past, here's a good way to start and lobby the Minister.
Tammy.Scott-Wallace@gnb.ca
I know when Horse Racing New Brunswick was first formed to solicit support from the government of the day, there was a lobbyist hired to lobby the government to support the horse industry.
Maybe it's time for a rebrand of racing in New Brunswick and start fresh. New name, and move forward from the Horse Racing New Brunswick brand and go into government with a sold business plan moving forward.
Food for thought .....

N.B. rent review complaints jumped in 2022 — and so did rejections of increases

Housing advocate says figures from residential tenancies tribunal show need for rent control

 
Jacques Poitras· CBC News ·

Rent review applications to New Brunswick's residential tenancies tribunal have more than tripled in 2022, while rejections of increases sought by landlords have increased more than sevenfold compared to last year.

The surge in complaints and rejections occurred in a year that saw the Higgs government impose a temporary cap on rent increases to put a lid on the soaring cost of housing. 

"It does reflect basically the need for rent control, obviously, with all those complaints, with all those people doing it," says Peter Jongeneelen, the co-chair of New Brunswick ACORN, a tenants advocacy group.

According to figures provided by Service New Brunswick, 122 tenants applied for a review of their rent increases in 2021. That number jumped to 369 in 2022, as of Dec. 15.

Of the 122 applications in 2021, seven led to the tribunal denying a planned rent increase.

This year, 53 of the 376 applications led to rent increases being denied.

Another 31 applications remained under review as of last week.

"Evidently, tenants are doing what they're being asked to do, which is to call the [tribunal] and make complaints," Jongeneelen said. 

"Obviously, tenants are doing that, but they don't feel like they're protected." 

The one-year rent cap limiting increases to 3.8 per cent was announced in March by the Higgs government and applied retroactively to increases since Jan. 1.

But it will expire at the end of this month.

In 2023, landlords will have to comply with new legislation that will allow the tribunal to spread any increase above inflation over two or three years — but only if tenants apply to the tribunal for a review.

That still could be beyond what many people can afford, particularly those not getting cost-of-living increases to their salaries, benefit cheques or pensions, Jongeneelen said.

"What tenants need is some real, solid protections."

Housing Minister Jill Green said earlier this month that she's also considering legislation that would put the onus on landlords to go to the tribunal to justify rent increases greater than inflation.

She called the figures "high-level numbers" that would be only one consideration in her decision.

"The housing spectrum is incredibly complicated," she said. "There's all kinds of numbers that are collected. This is a piece of the puzzle, but it's a very complicated puzzle."

Green said it's impossible to say for sure whether the province's rent cap was a factor in the higher number of review applications in 2022.

"It tells me that the marketing campaign that we did last year really worked, and I'm hoping that all the discussions we've had back and forth in the house are going to do the same thing, so people know the residential tenancies tribunal is there to help them," she said.

The province announced its rent cap on March 22, 2022, but launched an advertising campaign to promote the tribunal three months earlier, in December 2021.

A monthly breakdown of applications shows no apparent spike right after the announcement of the cap. The tribunal received 44 applications in March and 28 in April. 

Legislation for the cap became law in June. The number of applications increased from 29 in June to 40 in July.

Jongeneelen said the Higgs government should extend the rent cap for at least two more years.

"It's doable, it's manageable, and the fact the tenants are calling with all of these concerns, there's a serious housing crisis here, and I'm sorry, rent control is a big piece of the puzzle."

Lepreau incident required a crew to enter reactor building to fix heavy water leak

Lepreau incident required a crew to enter reactor building to fix heavy water leak

Utility says 'all radiation protection procedures and dose limits for staff' were met

 
Robert Jones· CBC News ·
A three-person crew had to enter Lepreau's reactor building last Thursday to fix a heavy water leak. Access to the building is through an airlock door like this one at the Bruce nuclear generating station in Ontario. (Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission)
 
A leak of heavy water at the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station last week required three plant employees to enter the reactor building to fix the problem manually, according to new information about the incident released by N.B. Power. 

In response to a series of questions about the heavy water spill, N.B. Power's Dominique Couture said in a statement "three authorized and qualified staff" were outfitted to enter the reactor containment building where an unknown amount of heavy water was escaping from a tube about half the width of a household garden hose.

"The leak was stopped manually by crimping the tubing, which took a little over 30 minutes," according to Couture. 

"All safety precautions were taken and safety protocols were followed."

The Point Lepreau nuclear generating station remains offline a week after a pair of incidents at the plant. A partial loss of power followed by the discovery of a heavy water leak hours later remain under investigation. (Submitted by NB Power)

A pair of events at the nuclear plant last week forced the generator offline indefinitely with no clear explanation yet of exactly what happened.

Official accounts from N.B. Power and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission have been light on details, and to date include no mention of a crew needing to enter the reactor building to manually fix a leaking pipe.

Volume of heavy water involved unclear

In the early morning hours of Dec. 14 N.B. Power reported that a "partial loss of power" to the station, which at the time was running at full capacity, initiated a complete shutdown. Several hours later it was discovered heavy water was also leaking from a pipe inside the reactor building.

According to Couture, it is still unclear whether the two events are connected to each other or coincidental.

"The investigation is still ongoing," she wrote.

Also unclear is how much heavy water was involved in the leak which occurred in what N.B. Power called a 3/8ths-inch diameter "instrument line" that is part of the station's "heat transport system."

Heavy water is similar to ordinary water, but is about 10 per cent more dense because of a difference in the makeup of its hydrogen atom. It is not radioactive, but can be contaminated with tritium after prolonged use in an operating nuclear plant. Tritium can be hazardous if ingested or inhaled.

A red and white sign with black letters stands in front of an indsutrial site with billowing smoke stacks. N.B. Power has been relying on the Coleson Cove oil-fired generating station in Saint John to replace some of the power normally generated by Point Lepreau. Utility figures show electricity from oil is almost 20 times more expensive to produce than from nuclear fuel. (Roger Cosman/CBC)

When it is running, the Lepreau heat transport system circulates something under 200,000 litres of heavy water, at high pressure, through an elaborate piping system that allows it to take heat generated in the reactor and transport it to a set of steam boilers in a continuous loop. Normal water in the boilers is turned into steam, which is used to rotate the station's electricity-producing turbines.

Inside the transport system, heavy water reaches temperatures above 250 C and operates under pressures of 1,200 pounds per square inch, about 20 times greater than an average kitchen tap.

Radiation fields in 'normal range' 

Couture said the leak was fixed "within hours" of being identified, but says how much heavy water escaped before that happened has not been calculated. Complicating the measurement, she said, was that spilled heavy water has been collected and returned into the heat transport system.

"The specific quantity is not known, but an inventory will be done," she said 

Radiation fields inside the reactor building during the repair were "in the normal range," according to Couture, but there were elevated levels of  "airborne tritium" from the heavy water spill. 

She said the three employees sent to fix the leak were each wearing protective plastic suits with independent air supplies for safety and had radiation survey instrumentation with them.

Charles Firlotte, N.B. Power chairman, blamed a 39-day unscheduled shutdown of Lepreau in January and February 2021 for the utility missing its profit and debt reduction targets that year. The utility estimates a mid-winter outage at the plant costs it up to $8 million a week. (CBC)

"All radiation protection procedures and dose limits for staff were adhered to during this work." she said.

It is at least the second heavy water spill at Lepreau.

In 2011, "between four and six litres" of heavy water were dropped in the reactor building as it was being refilled.

The incident caused problems when an air lock door malfunctioned and could not be opened for two hours, with the crew cleaning the spill still inside. 

However, that spill occurred while the reactor was still being refurbished and had not been operational for more than three years.

N.B. Power has not said yet how long it expects the nuclear plant to be offline. It is normally the utility's largest generator of electricity and outside of N.B. Power's fleet of hydro electric dams is the cheapest to operate.   

Over the last week much of Lepreau's normal output has been replaced by more expensive power generated at the Coleson Cove oil-fired generating station in Saint John.   

According to figures filed with the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board in October, it is costing an estimated $121.75 for oil at Coleson Cove to  produce one megawatt hour of electricity this year, compared to $6.57 of nuclear fuel at Lepreau.

Municipalities accuse NB Power of over-charging for street-light service

Margot Cragg says EUB should make the utility adhere to the rate standard the board set

Gail Harding· CBC News ·
The Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick executive director Margot Cragg says NB Power is charging municipalities too much for street lights. (CBC)

The Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick says NB Power needs to stop raising the rates it charges for street lights. 

In fact, executive director Margot Cragg said the utility not only needs to stop raising rates — it needs to reduce them. 

Cragg says the EUB should make NB Power follow the standard it set for rate charges for street lights. (Cindy Grant/CBC)

Cragg made a presentation to the Energy and Utilities Board in early February after the City of Fredericton wrote a letter about the rates for street lights and the union decided to take on the fight for all municipalities.

"For Fredericton, the cost in 2017 was over a million dollars," she said. "For other municipalities in the area, like Oromocto, it was $340,000 and even for a rural community like Hanwell, it was over $41,000 … that's a pretty hefty bill." 

Cragg said money spent on street lights can't be spent elsewhere. 

Another increase

She added the EUB has set a standard to determine the charges to each rate class.

"So what the EUB has said is that the rate charge for each class should be about equal to the cost of supply of the service, within a range of reasonableness." 

But Cragg said NB Power is proposing to increase it to 195 per cent of that cost.

"That's almost double the cost of actually providing the service." 

Cragg pointed out the present rate is too high and has been getting worse year over year. She said in 2015-2016 it was 176 per cent of the cost of supplying the service. 

In 2017-2018 it was 192 per cent of the cost. 

"That cost to revenue ratio has been getting worse year over year," Cragg said, adding that if the proposed rate is accepted, the ratio will be even more punitive.

'Optional' service

At its rate hearing last year, NB Power said it considered street light service optional and not subject to the EUB's fair price guidelines. It also said the higher prices it charges for street lights help it to keep prices it charges other customers, such as homeowners, lower.

At hearings this week, both public intervener Heather Black and EUB lawyer Ellen Desmond pressed NB Power rate design managers to explain why they ignore the board's fair price guidelines in setting charges for both street lights and water heater rentals. 

"NB Power doesn't really view street lights as a rate class," said the utility's rate design specialist Kevin Gibson. But he said it would follow whatever direction the EUB gives it on the issue.

Follow the standard

Cragg said it's up to the EUB to make NB Power follow the standard it set.


"What the heck, you've set a standard for what should be charged for each rate class, this is pretty clearly not falling within that, what are you going to do about it?" 

Cragg said the group asked the EUB to set the rate at one that provides fair pricing for street-lighting services within all municipalities. 

"Any dollar that is spent on excessive pricing for street lighting is money the municipality can't spend fixing the road, can't spend on the water services, can't spend on the services and infrastructure you and I use every single day in our communities," she said.

VICE-CHAIRMAN:  Thank you very much.  Thank you, Mr. Amos.  So our
next presenter is Margot Cragg from the Union of Municipalities of New
Brunswick?  Ms. Cragg?
  MS. CRAGG:  Thank you very much.  And I promise to take considerably
less than 21 minutes.
    So -- and again, thank you very much for the opportunity to speak
here today.
    As you mentioned, my name is Margot Cragg and I am here on behalf
of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick.
    Now the focus of our presentation is the cost of service and
proposed increase for the rate class street lights and unmetered.
Specifically, NB Power is requesting a 2 percent average increase in
rates effective April 1st 2018, including a 2 percent increase for
street lights.  At specific issue is the revenue to cost ratio for
street lights when compared with the range of reasonableness as
defined by the EUB.
    So as background, the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick or
UMNB represents 61 member municipalities and rural communities
throughout New Brunswick.  UMNB advocates on behalf of our members
with the goal of building strong sustainable and viable municipalities
throughout our province.
    Most New Brunswick municipalities rely on NB Power for street
lights.  And according to the City of Fredericton's document -- and
thanks to my colleague who is on the phone right now -- municipalities
provide street lights in a variety of forms.  So for lights and davits
installed on utility poles owned by NB Power and/or Bell Aliant which
are rented on a monthly basis from NB Power at unmetered rates
depending on the wattage, if the pole on which the light is mounted is
only used for street lights there is a fee for the -- rental fee for
the pole as well.  Lights and poles also owned by municipalities, such
as decorative lights, NB Power provides electricity on either -- on a
metered or unmetered basis.  And there are other lights operated by NB
-- New Brunswick's Department of Transportation and infrastructure
along major highways.
    So in many communities well-lit roads are considered a rather
important part of safety for both the drivers and pedestrians.  Street
lighting is also one of municipalities more expensive bills.  For a
city like Fredericton, the approximate cost of street lighting in 2017
was over a million dollars.  For a town like Sackville, the cost was
approximately $157,000 or two and a half cents on a 2017 property tax
rate of $1.55 per $100 of assessment paid by residents like you and I.
    For a small village like Tide Head with a population of less than
1,000 people, street lights cost approximately $40,000 or 4.24 percent
of its 2017 operating budget.  And even for an incorporated rural
municipality like Hanwell, the street lights cost approximately over
$41,000.
    While a small number of municipalities operate their own
electrical service, the vast majority of municipalities do not have
the option of shopping around for a better deal and must rely on NB
Power for their street lights.  For this reason the existing cost of
service and the proposed increase being discussed at this rate hearing
are of significant interest to UMNB's members.
    In its 2016 decision -- by the way, I seem to be cutting in and
out.  In the event that you can't hear me please let me know.
    In its 2016 decision on Matter 271, the EUB stated -- and I will
quote -- on a system wide basis the revenues to be obtained through
approved rates from all customer classes should be equal to the sum of
the cost apportionments for each customer class.  To state this
another way, the system revenue to cost ratio should equal 1.0 or
unity.  In theory, a revenue to cost ratio of 1.0 should apply for
each class.  There may be valid reasons however why rates would
produce projected revenues higher than allocated costs for some
classes offset by rates for other classes that will produce revenues
lower than allocated costs.
    In a decision of December 21st 2005, the New Brunswick Board of
Commissioners of Public Utilities indicated that a long-term range of
.95 to -- to 1.05 for the revenue to cost ratio for each class is
reasonable.  This continues to be the view of the Board.  In other
words, the EUB has already stated that the rate charged to each rate
class should be approximately equal to the cost of supplying the
service with a range of reasonableness of .95 to 1.05 or 95 to 105
percent.  I note that NB Power acknowledged the range of
reasonableness in its document evidence presented as part of the
current general rate application.
    In section 10.1 it states that the goal is to adjust rates such
that the revenue to cost ratio for each class is within the range of
reasonableness of -- .95 and 1.05 according to the evidence presented
by NB Power as part of this -- this Matter.  However, the revenue to
cost ratio for street lights is significantly outside that range of
reasonableness.  This is an understatement.
    According to NB Power's document evidence in table 9.1(a), the
recommended 2018/19 CCA asset uniform 2 percent rates, the revenue to
cost ratio for street lights and unmetered based on NB Power's
proposed rate would be 1.954 or 195 percent.  In other words, NB Power
is proposing to bill almost double the cost of providing the service.
Furthermore, contrary to EUB's direction, the revenue to cost ratio
for street lights is getting worse not better.  According to documents
from past EUB matters, recent revenue to cost ratios were as follows.
    In 2015 to 2016, 1.76 or 176 percent of costs.  In 2017 to 2018,
1.915 or 192 percent of costs.  And once again, in the current
proposed rates, 1.954 or 195 percent of costs.
    In short, the recent current and proposed revenue to cost ratios
for street lighting are unreasonable by the EUB's own standard.  It
begs the question why the EUB approved rate increases that made this
disparity worse despite its part direction.  And based on the numbers
presented, it appears municipalities are being egregiously over billed
for this service.  This has significant financial implications for
municipalities and it affects their capacity to provide other services
that citizens need and expect.
    Money spent on excessive costs for street lighting is money that
cannot be spent on well-maintained roads or parks or on essential
services like waste management and public safety that people rely on.
It's also money that ultimately comes from residents in the form of
taxes.
    NB Power's 2018 -- 2017 to 2018 evidence document in section 11.0
stated that differential rate increases were not considered for street
lights because their services are optional services for customers and
benefit the other customer classes through their contribution to net
earnings.  That statement suggests that New Brunswick's towns,
villages, cities and rural communities are expressly being over
charged for street lighting to subsidize other rate classes and to
improve NB Power's bottom line.  This is unjust and is not consistent
with the principle of the range of reasonableness.
    Furthermore, the definition of optional in this case is not
reasonable.  We live in a province where daylight hours are limited
for a significant part of each year and where the standard work and
school day in winter often starts and ends in the dark.  To assess
whether street lights are genuinely simply optional for municipalities
that -- for the municipalities that provide them, please imagine the
impact on safety and public opinion if a city decided to save money by
turning off the lights on a busy road or consider the impact of street
lights on the safety of pedestrians such as children walking home from
school or woman walking alone in the dark.
    In summary, the cost of revenue ratio for streetlighting is
significantly and disproportionately outside the range of
reasonableness identified by the EUB.  The disparity has worsened over
time, rather than improving.  Contrary to past direction, the
disparity imposes a significant financial burden on municipalities and
the proposed 2 percent increase for 2018 and 2019 would exacerbate
rather than correcting that problem.
    So our request and recommendation is that the EUB direct NB Power
to adjust the rates for streetlights and unmetered from 2018 onward to
a level that provide fair pricing for streetlight service within all
municipalities.  So, thank you.  I suspect, as mentioned, that's less
than 21 minutes.  And are there any questions?
  VICE-CHAIRMAN:  No.  Thank you, Ms. Cragg, for your presentation and
we will consider your comments.
  MS. CRAGG:  Thank you very much.

Greetings!

I am attaching a presentation that might interest some of you. It
discusses the forces that are shaping the future of electric
utilities. These forces are going to disrupt the existing utility
business model. In order to get ahead of change, utilities will have
to make significant changes in how they price electricity.

Comments welcome.

Board staff have only one comment related to the draft report. We
believe it is important to that during the discussion of scorecard
that it be mentioned that some parties, including Board Staff, did not
participate in the scoring exercise.


David Young
Senior Advisor
New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board
(506)643-7573



October 12th 10 2018.


CHAIRMAN: “I think it really goes back almost to the first 5 question
that appeared in our August 23rd letter was 6 whether or not the
matter should be commenced anew or if 7 the existing evidentiary
record continues.”



MR. AMOS Yes. The record of this matter clearly shows it's been
delayed long enough. I -- as you know, I opposed when it was adjourned
or whatever in 2017. I believe it should begin right where we left
off. We already went through the first round of interrogatories, or
however you say the word. Right now the current government has
promised to freeze the rates for four years. NB Power has a huge
problem. We don't know who has the next mandate. But if the current
government maintains that mandate, I am surprised to see that you are
the Chair of the Board. I thought that you were gone, but apparently
you have been reappointed. Anyway, I think we should begin where we
left off. All the documents that are in the records should be added
to. There is no need to consult with anyone. The matter is clear. NB
Power has to come up with a way to design rates that satisfies the
Board, and the government and the people of this province. I think we
should start again right now.”

CHAIRMAN: Okay. Just to clarify then. You are suggesting that NB Power
really put forward their position on where this should go before we --
we would engage all of the parties with an independent facilitator to
talk about the strawman, if you will, that they have put up?


MR. STEWART: Right. And I would think that it would be -- I think a
strawman is an appropriate characterization that -- I mean, I -- in
that context, you know, whether it is a without prejudice proposal or
one subject to further discussion, but in order for the technical
conference that they propose to actually really achieve substantive
results quickly about defining the scope and what order and what time
table, we have to start somewhere. And any discussion is going to
start with the utility. So if they want to have a technical conference
to decide where their rate design application should go, then it seems
to me that they should come forward with some basic proposals of --
you know, the easy and obvious example is both the existing
evidentiary record and the rationale for the adjournment, you know,
turn on AMI.
And so there is not much point in us talking about where we will go
with rate design necessarily if that is in immediate play. So there is
some very basic unanswered questions that in order for a technical
conference to succeed on a reasonable time table, the utility needs to
come forward and give us that information to make a proposal as to
where they see it going, what their strawman is and then we can all
sit down and work froM that.


CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Stewart. Union of Municipalities 16 of New
Brunswick, Ms. Cragg?

MS. CRAGG: Thank you. I will speak specifically to the question of
whether the matter should be commenced anew or if the existing
evidentiary record suffices. As a new intervener, our evidence and
information would not be included in that record. And so it is
certainly our opinion that there should be an opportunity for us to
present additional information. I will note that it was at the order
of the Board in Matter 375 that the issues presented by the Union of
Municipalities of New Brunswick at that -- at the rate application be
dealt with in this rate hearing. So the ability to present
information, to present our evidence to this rate design hearing is
quite important for it to be able to be considered in a genuine way.
So we would support the folks who have spoken previously and indicated
there should be an opportunity for a new hearing rather than
continuing purely on the basis of what was already presented.

CHAIRMAN: Maybe I can clarify that for you a little bit. The proposal
really was whether or not the existing record would continue with the
probability of new or additional evidence from NB Power and then the
opportunity for evidence from interveners. And so at this stage, no
matter which way we proceed, you would have an opportunity to file
evidence in this matter.

MS. CRAGG: I think that -- I think that my statement in support of the
previous speakers still stands but I appreciate that clarification.

CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you. Utilities Municipal, Mr. Stoll?

MR. STOLL: Good morning, Mr. Chair. There are I guess a few points. We
think there is some value in retaining the 1 evidentiary record and
then expanding on it. So I guess you would phrase that as a
continuation rather than starting anew.
In your exchange with Mr. Stewart regarding like a strawman type
approach, there may be some benefit in that. From a general
perspective, and I think this was evident in the letter we wrote in
August, is we see a need for some rescoping more to a kind of a
broader approach to really provide some of the benefit we think this
hearing should be trying to achieve. I think if you look at some of
the evidence that was filed, Mr. Christensen in the Christensen
report, that it raises some fundamental issues around rate
classification and where NB Power sits regarding the industry at large
and some other issues. I think also he raises some other questions
about the philosophy behind the approach to rates and rate setting.
And we also saw in 375 that rates -- and this was in the Dunsky report
-- that rates and rate policies such as net metering impact investment
decisions. I think that is one of the concerns my client has is we are
in the business of long-term investments, the dynamics are changing
and we need a rate structure that is going to be predictable for the
longer term and is going to send signals that achieves the objectives
we want. So we would like to continue.
We don't see this as a three month or a four month exercise in coming
to a decision. We see this as there may be some things that we can
deal with in the short-term. But we do feel that this -- to do things
right that this will be a longer term process. And that it may take a
year or in excess of a year to go through each of the various
components and come to resolution. And there may be a bit of an
iterative approach I think as we started down the path. We went to the
Christensen report and there were some issues raised. And so as we
take some steps forward, we may learn some things that we hadn't
considered before. So I think the parties should be aware of that and
they should be expecting that.
And with respect to collaboration and facilitation, we are in support
of that. We do agree that there would be benefit of an independence in
the facilitation. That it is not just one party's facilitator. That it
is a neutral facilitator that is helping guide the various parties
through the process. I think those are my submissions.

CHAIRMAN: “Thank you, Mr. Stoll. And I have to say that I think your
letter that we received in August was very helpful and obviously you
had put a lot of time in to thinking that one through.’

A. Introduction

[1] This decision arises out of an application filed by the New
Brunswick Power Corporation (NB Power) on May 5, 2021 (Application)
pursuant to section 43 of the Energy and Utilities Board Act, S.N.B.
2006, c. E-9.18 (Act) and Rules 1.2.5 and 8.1.1 of the Board’s Rules
of Procedure (Rules of Procedure).

[2] NB Power requests that the Board vary its decision of August 4,
2020 (Matter 357
Decision), by granting an extension of the time required for it to
file an application
regarding the first phase of the rate design process from June 30,
2021, to a date no later than June 30, 2022.

[3] In the Matter 357 Decision, the Board directed NB Power to
commence a new proceeding to include three distinct phases: first, to
file an application by June 30, 2021, to address certain issues
identified in the decision; second, to provide details of the timing
and issues to be resolved, which would identify rate design options
and determine the rate structure; and third, to establish and
implement a new rate design.

[4] On May 12, the Board ordered that NB Power serve the Application
and supporting
materials on all parties in Matter 357 and post them on its website.
NB Power filed an
affidavit, sworn on June 3, confirming that the Application and the
Notice of the
Application were posted in accordance with the Board’s Order. The Notice of the
Application was also published on May 13 in four daily provincial newspapers.

[5] At the hearing on June 8, Mr. Furey confirmed that NB Power
complied with Rules 8.2.3 and 8.2.6 of the Rules of Procedure with
respect to service and filing.

[6] Written submissions were received from Mr. Scott Stoll, as counsel
for Utilities Municipal, and Ms. Heather Black, the Public Intervener.

[7] Written submissions were also received from Mr. David Amos, Ms.
Liz Kramer, and Dr. Roger Richard. The Board finds that none of these
written submissions addressed the merits of the issue at hand, whether
the Board should vary the Matter 357 Decision, as described in the
Application.

B. Issues

[8] The key issue in this matter is whether the Board should vary its
Matter 357 Decision as described above and, if so, under what
conditions.

C. Analysis

[9] The Board held a hearing on June 8 by video conference and heard
oral submissions on behalf of NB Power, Dr. Richard, Utilities
Municipal, and the Public Intervener.
[10] Mr. Furey submitted that there are new facts since the Matter 357
Decision that have resulted in changed circumstances that, in the
overall context of these rate design
proceedings, make up sufficient grounds to vary the decision. He
further submitted that the expected easing of restrictions, referred
to by the provincial government as the “Path to Green”, is not the end
of business impacts as a result of the pandemic.
[11] Mr. Furey stated that the Board should consider the following
“four contextual factors” in its decision to extend the time to file
an application with respect to rate design:
(1) In the Matter 357 Decision, the Board identified that rate design
proceedings will move forward in a three-phase approach and that, in
NB Power’s submission, the Board correctly characterized this first
phase as laying a foundation for future rate design proceedings.
(2) The Board has recognized that decisions in this round of rate
design proceedings
would likely have long-term impacts for all customers, in particular,
the commercial and industrial classes. Mr. Furey submitted that NB
Power is required to bring forward proposals with respect to customer
classification, including an action plan for the elimination of the
General Service II class.
(3) Proposed changes to rate design impacts on the rates and bills of certain
customers, especially in the commercial and industrial classes.
(4) The importance assigned by the Board to the ability, through advocates, of
under-represented customers, to make submissions, which would contribute to
the rate design process.

[12] Dr. Richard submitted that he had no objection to extending the
time to file an application to June 30, 2022.

[13] Utilities Municipal supported the Application, subject to two
comments. First, Mr. Stoll expressed a concern that there may be a
strain on the resources of some regular participants in Board
proceedings, given the number of potential hearings within the next 18
months.

Second, he stated that he does not wish to see this proceeding
“languish for another year.” Mr. Stoll suggested that NB Power
continue with any work using an “[…] incremental approach to the rate
design process so that we don’t inadvertently end up circling back or
redoing certain things […].”

[14] In its submission, Utilities Municipal stated that it was not
able to identify specific work, but rather requested that the Board
seek input from NB Power about what would be possible to advance the
proceeding during any extension of time.

[15] In its reply of June 4, NB Power responded to Mr. Stoll’s
comments, agreeing that efforts should be made to avoid overlapping of
proceedings before the Board. It suggested that its proposed deadline
of June 30, 2022, would accomplish that objective. It noted that, in
the meantime, it could advance work on certain issues and utilize a
more up-to-date budget and load data.

[16] In her written submission dated May 27, Ms. Black supported the
Application stating that she had no objection to the extension of time
requested. Ms. Black stated that she supported the suggestion that NB
Power file a plan to overcome what was referred to as the
“representation gap” to ensure that, for example, residential
customers’ interests are adequately represented.

[17] Section 43 of the Act states:
43 The Board may review, rescind or vary any order made by it.

[18] Rules 1.2.5 and 8.1.1 of the Rules of Procedure state:
1.2.5. The Board may in its discretion extend or abridge the time
fixed by these Rules or by the Board, on its own initiative or in
response to a request by a party, either before or after the time so
fixed has expired.

8.1.1. An application to review, rescind, or vary an order under section 43 of
the Act, or to rehear an application under section 44 of the Act shall contain:
a) a concise statement of the facts;
b) the grounds that the applicant considers sufficient, including:
i. any error of law or of jurisdiction,
ii. changed circumstances or new facts that have arisen since the
close of the original proceeding, or
iii. facts that were not placed in evidence in the original proceeding
and that were then not discoverable by reasonable diligence;
c) any prejudice or damage that has resulted or will result from the order;
and
d) the relief sought.

[19] Accordingly, the Board has the discretion to vary its Matter 357
Decision by granting an extension of the time required for NB Power to
file its rate design application.

[20] In making a determination with respect to a variance, the Board
must consider the criteria set out under Rule 8.1.1 of the Rules of
Procedure, and owes a duty of fairness to those who are affected by
its decisions.

[21] As stated in the Matter 357 Decision, the Board needs to consider
how the views of
consumer groups will be represented in relation to rate design. The
Board’s hearing
procedure encourages public participation to provide a meaningful
opportunity to present
their case fully and fairly.

[22] Due to the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, however,
the Board recognizes that some people may not have this opportunity,
should the proceeding continue as currently scheduled.

D. Conclusion

[23] In light of these circumstances, the Board varies the Matter 357
Decision and grants an extension of time, as requested. NB Power is to
file an application to address the issues identified as the first
phase in the Matter 357 Decision to a date no later than June 30,
2022, subject to the direction below.

[24] The Board directs NB Power to file a proposal to address any gap
in relation to under-represented customers, as referenced in the
Matter 357 Decision, by October 31, 2021.

Dated at Saint John, New Brunswick, this 16th day of June, 2021.

Mr Furey

Mr Petrie informed me out of the gate that you and your old boss
Madame Harrison were no longer employed by NB Power So now I must ask
the latest CEO Keith Cronkhite and the new NB Power Board (corrected)
have they hired Harrison back to stand in Mr Petrie's stead while you
continue to act
against my interests and concerns under a private contract???

Small nuclear reactor project won't need extra assessment, Ottawa says

Federal minister rejects request to designate ARC proposal for public hearings

The federal government will not require a proposed small modular nuclear reactor project in New Brunswick to undergo an extra federal impact assessment.

Opponents of nuclear power were hoping to slow down the federal regulatory process by persuading Ottawa to designate the project as requiring the assessment.

But in a public notice Thursday, Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault said that wasn't necessary.

"The project does not warrant designation," Guilbeault said.

He said he was heeding an analysis by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada that existing legislative requirements would give the project enough scrutiny.

Under federal law, ARC Clean Technology's proposed demonstration project at Point Lepreau is exempt from the federal impact assessment process because it's not a new technology.

Opponents of the project asked Ottawa for a federal enironmental impact assessment of a proposed small modular reactor project at Point Lepreau, pictured in this file photo. (Shane Fowler/CBC)

But the law allows the minister to designate a project as needing review if it can cause adverse effects in areas of federal jurisdiction such as species at risk, fish habitats and Indigenous rights.

Coalition for Responsible Energy Development in New Brunswick asked Guilbeault to use that power to send the ARC project for a full assessment, which would have included public hearings. 

The group called it their "best shot" at exposing the risk of nuclear energy to the public.

ARC is one of two Saint John-based companies proposing to pilot a small reactor next to NB Power's existing Point Lepreau nuclear generating station.

The other company, Moltex Clean Energy, will require an assessment because of its plans to recycle nuclear waste.

In his decision on ARC, Guilbeault wrote that existing legislation, including the federal Nuclear Safety and Control Act and the provincial Clean Environment Act and Clean Water Act, provide a framework to address any concerns.

Call from premier led Horizon CEO to push Ambulance N.B. to break the rules, leaked audio shows

Margaret Melanson heard asking a dispatcher to move a patient from his Fredericton home to Saint John hospital

Leaked audio from a dispatch call is offering new insight into how Premier Blaine Higgs pushed the head of Horizon Health Network to personally intervene in the medical treatment of a man who was in a motorcycle crash in Fredericton last summer.

In the audio file obtained by CBC News, Margaret Melanson, CEO of Horizon Health, can be heard asking an Ambulance New Brunswick dispatcher to break the service's own policy by transporting a patient from his home in Fredericton to the Saint John Regional Hospital.

The incident, which happened on a Saturday evening in July, raises new questions about Higgs — who that summer had fired the chief executive of Horizon— and his role in the health-care system. 

On the evening of July 30, Melanson called Ambulance N.B.'s dispatch service to say she had a "problem" she needed help solving.

A patient in Fredericton needed to get to the Saint John Regional Hospital, and Melanson said on the call she wanted him taken there by ambulance from his home.

"I know that's not your protocol to go straight there," said Melanson.

She added that Higgs was "upset."

Horizon CEO intervenes in patient's care after call from premier

Duration 1:05
The transcript from a dispatch call shows Margaret Melanson ask Ambulance N.B. to transport a patient to Saint John, even though it went against the company's protocol.

Ambulance N.B.'s policy, however, is that patients be transported to the nearest hospital, the dispatcher replied.

"Yeah and you see, this is the problem. This is a political issue," said Melanson in response.

"The patient won't go back to the [Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital]. I'll tell you I've got the premier calling me, I've gotta get this guy to Saint John."

John Barnet confirmed to CBC News that he was the patient Melanson described in the dispatch call.

In the days leading up to that call, his family was demanding answers after he was sent home from the Chalmers hospital after receiving six hours of care for a broken neck and sternum he sustained in a motorcycle crash on July 26. His family said Barnet should have been admitted.

Following those complaints, Nancy Barnet, Barnet's mother, received a call from Higgs and then a call from Melanson, who arranged to have a doctor examine him at home and to later have him taken by ambulance to a hospital in Saint John.

However, until the audio of the dispatch call was leaked to CBC News, it wasn't known that Higgs had called Melanson personally about the case.

The leaked audio, along with a transcript of the call obtained through the province's Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, offer new insight into how Higgs personally intervened in the health-care system by asking the head of a health authority to take a closer look at the case.

In an interview with CBC News, Higgs admitted he called Melanson, but said he didn't give her specific orders around having him sent to Saint John by ambulance.

'I wanted to understand more': Higgs

Higgs said he spoke to Barnet's parents, and then decided to call Melanson to learn more about the case and whether anything more could be done.

"I wanted to understand more so then I did call Margaret Melanson, and and just said 'Do you know any details on this ... is there something more needed?" Higgs said.

"So for me, whether the individual was transferred or not transferred, or assessed, Margaret Melanson is in a much better position to do that than I.

"And so it would be her call where to go from there, and all I wanted was an explanation that I could share with the parents based on their, their real life concern."

Horizon Health didn't provide an interview with Melanson, but in a statement to CBC News, she confirmed she spoke to Higgs.

"And the Premier did ask me to look into the matter of a patient," Melanson said.

"I then spoke with the patient's partner on the night of July 30, 2022, as I was concerned about the patient's health."

Melanson said based on those concerns, she consulted Horizon's vice president of medical, academic and research affairs, who recommended the patient be treated at the Saint John Regional Hospital, to which the patient's partner agreed.

CBC News also requested an interview with Ambulance N.B. CEO Richard Losier about the dispatch call from Melanson.

In an emailed statement, Ambulance N.B. spokesperson Christianna Williston said while it cannot comment on specific cases, the company is committed to providing the best possible patient care.

Action undermines health authority: expert

"There are many factors that go into care decisions, and we will continue to work with our partners to put the best interests of our patients at the heart of everything we do," Williston said.

It was the 1990s when Canadian provincial governments established separate health authorities tasked with directly managing the provision of health care, said Katherine Fierlbeck, chair of Dalhousie University's department of political science.

It created the separation between the provincial department "steering" the system, versus the health authorities doing the "rowing," she said.

With that, the health authorities were to enjoy a level of autonomy in their daily operations, she said.

"If the principle of having a health authority is that it does look after the day-to-day running of the health-care system, then what the heck is the premier doing shouldering his way into the discussion and micromanaging the situation, right?" she said.

"Either he has confidence in his appointees or he does not."

'My job to question' those in authority: Higgs

Last summer, Higgs made sweeping changes to the province's two health authorities by firing the CEO of Horizon Health Network and replacing the board of directors of both Horizon and Vitalité with a single trustee each.

He also replaced the minister of health, all in direct response to the death of a patient in the Chalmers hospital's ER waiting room.

At the time those changes were announced in July, Higgs noted it was up to him to ensure the right people were in the positions to run the health authorities, but that it wasn't up to him to run them.

However, speaking to CBC News, Higgs said as premier, the "buck stops" with him, and that it's up to him to question the decisions of the leaders of the health authorities.

"That is my job to question those that are are more, let's say, knowledgeable than I on specific issues and and say OK, well this doesn't necessarily make sense to, to the public or to me," he said.

Higgs may wait until 2024 to reveal his plans for next election

Premier casts doubt on timeline for leadership announcement early next year

Premier Blaine Higgs may make New Brunswickers — and members of his Progressive Conservative Party — wait another year or more before he announces whether he'll leave politics ahead of the 2024 election.

Political insiders have been assuming the premier would signal in early 2023 whether he plans to stick around as party leader for the next campaign or retire beforehand.

But in a year-end interview with CBC News, Higgs was ambiguous about his timeline, suggesting he could announce "early in the year of the election, very early."

The fixed-date schedule of elections in provincial legislation sets the date of the next election as Oct. 21, 2024.

Higgs may wait until 2024 to announce whether he’ll fight next election

Duration 2:13
Political insiders expected New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs to reveal his plans for the 2024 election early next year. But in a year-end interview, Higgs says he could keep people waiting a while longer.

The premier said a leadership convention in May 2024 would give the PC Party enough time to get ready for a campaign five months later.

"So I think I've got time, just yet, to make a decision," he said.

'The great reveal'

In the fall, Higgs appeared to suggest to Brunswick News that he'd declare his intentions in his annual state of the province speech, now scheduled for Feb. 9, 2023.

He told CBC, however, that he was referring at the time to using the speech to highlight "what we've accomplished to date, the mandate, the things we're working on … and kind of go from there. So I will talk about it." 

He said that what he jokingly calls "the great reveal" may not happen at that time. 

Brunswick News reporter Andrew Waugh tweeted Thursday morning that he has a recording of his September interview in which Higgs mentions the state of the province speech and says, "My intention is to, at that time, identify what my plans are."

The premier's new comments in the CBC interview came the same day a group of 48 New Brunswickers, including one former PC cabinet minister, released an open letter calling on members of the party to trigger a leadership review to oust Higgs.

The letter asked that it happen before the Feb. 9 state of the province speech.

"I personally think he should pass the torch to someone else," said Jean-Pierre Ouellet, a minister in the former PC government of Richard Hatfield.

Ouellet said Higgs's handling of language issues shows the party needs a new leader.

It's not healthy for northern francophone ridings to be mostly represented by one party and southern anglophone seats by another, Ouellet argued.

"If he decides to reoffer, the members of the Progressive Conservative Party have to ask for a leadership review to try to deal with this situation, with this division that is not good for the economy and not good for the province," he told Radio-Canada.

"It takes a leader who can unite the province to deal with the situation." 

Hasn't decided, premier says

Higgs acknowledged that "what's typical, what's normal" might be to announce his plans in early 2023 so the party could hold a leadership vote in the fall and give a new premier a year to establish their own record before going to the polls.

"But I really haven't decided," he said.

Pushing Higgs out while he's premier would require 50 grassroots party members, including 20 riding association presidents, signing letters to ask the PC president's council to consider a review vote.

That council, made up of the party executive, regional vice-presidents and all 49 PC riding association presidents, would then have to vote two-thirds in favour of a review.

Only then would a vote on removing Higgs be scheduled for all members.

After Higgs appointed former People's Alliance leader Kris Austin to his cabinet in October, one party vice-president, Maurice Arsenault, called for a review. But no one else came out publicly in favour.

At the party's annual meeting in November, a candidate for party president, Andrew Dawson, said Arsenault's letter "was the 'check engine' light" flashing for the party.

Members at the meeting rejected that message, electing Fredericton lawyer Erika Hachey as party president with 110 votes to 70 for Dawson.

Prime Minister Trudeau, family headed to Jamaica for weeklong holiday vacation

PMO says Trudeau will remain in constant contact with Ottawa during trip

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is heading to Jamaica after Christmas for a one-week vacation with his immediate family.

The Prime Minister's Office says Trudeau will remain in constant contact with Ottawa during the trip and continue to be briefed and updated on issues.

The PMO also says it checked with the federal ethics commissioner in advance of the travel to make sure it follows guidelines.

Trudeau had been found in violation of conflict-of-interest rules in 2017 after a 2016 vacation he took to the Aga Khan's private island in the Bahamas.

The prime minister must fly on a Royal Canadian Air Force plane for security reasons, even if it's for personal travel.

The family's flights to and from Costa Rica over the Christmas holiday in 2019 cost the government about $57,000 and thousands more were spent on flight crews' stay in San Jose.

This is one of those litigious issues, you make anything appear legal if you have the tools and no one to challenge it. Is there not some sort of travel advisory in Jamaica? It would be better if this were business.

N.B. makes no headway on poverty by treating symptoms, says economist

Poverty could be eliminated for $1B annually, says Herb Emery

Poverty in New Brunswick could be basically eliminated for about $1 billion, says the Vaughan chair in regional economics at the University of New Brunswick.

Herb Emery's comments come amid calls for a more effective solution than the ever-larger reliance on food banks and homeless shelters to help those who can't afford necessities such as food and housing.

"It's appalling just how much we're getting efficient at treating the symptoms of poverty rather than taking any of the most basic steps to addressing the causes," he said.

Emery is one of the people working to create a guaranteed basic income pilot scheme, similar to what Canadian seniors have through the Guaranteed Income Supplement program, which provides a top-up to a minimum income of around $20,000 a year.

"Using this approach, we dropped elderly poverty from one of the highest in the developed world to one of the lowest," he said, and in a sample group, food insecurity was cut in half.

Emery would like to see something similar done for families in younger demographics.

$1B could lower poverty rate to 1.5 per cent

"If you gave people a transfer 85 per cent of the market-basket measure threshold for poverty, it would cost about $1 billion extra spending in New Brunswick, and you could take the poverty rate down to about 1.5 per cent from its current 12 per cent," he said.

"To me, that seems like it's not a moonshot, and it's a real puzzle why it's so hard to get Canadians to want to address poverty."

One reason for the lack of progress, said UNB political scientist Donald Wright, is that people living in poverty don't have the time or resources to organize a protest movement.

That's generally how big political changes are accomplished, he said.

Donald Wright, a professor of political science at the University of New Brunswick, said real wages went further in the 1970s than they do today which he called 'madness.' (Donald Wright)

Poverty is an issue as old as time, said Wright. Governments introduced social programs in the 20th century, he said, but in the last 40 years, the welfare state has "withered" and "contracted."

He said it's "madness" that real wages went further in the 1970s than they do today.

"We have a real problem," Wright said. "People are struggling to meet the necessities of life.

"It is grotesque the levels of poverty we tolerate in our society — a society as rich as ours."

There is a lot of wealth in Canada, said Wright, but it's poorly distributed and the gap between rich and poor has stretched.

Food banks may impede solution

Food banks, ironically, may also be impeding a long-term solution, said Valerie Tarasuk, a professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. She's also the lead investigator in a research program on food insecurity called Proof.

Food banks began operating in Canada in the early 1980s, during a recession, and were supposed to be a temporary measure, she said.

Instead, they've become a permanent fixture and serve to subsidize social assistance programs, allowing them to become "woefully inadequate."

"How many will we be able to feed for how long?" posed Tarasuk.

The intentions may be good, she said, but it's time to try something else. She, too, supports the idea of a guaranteed basic income, whether or not a person is in the workforce.

It's a policy that has paid off for seniors in food security, physical health and mental health because people have less stress in their lives, said Tarasuk.

One of the most popular arguments against a guaranteed income program is that it would discourage people from working.

But Emery said modelling suggests that would not happen to any great extent.

Most of the "working poor" are under 30, he said, and many live with their parents, so they wouldn't be entitled to payments if the program is family based.

Emery said his "cynical opinion" is that voters just don't care enough about helping those in dire straits. He said the middle class agenda in Canada has become "repugnant."

It would probably require the elimination of some tax credits to middle income groups to finance a basic income program, he said, and eliminating poverty isn't seen as worthwhile if it costs the middle class anything at all.

Some cities are starting to reach a breaking point, said Emery.

"When you don't address these problems upstream, you get all the symptoms downstream, which start to hit the homeowners, which start to hit businesses and they start to demand a solution," he said.

"These problems of poverty are addressable and solvable, but it may not be with solutions that we've been using for 400 years that haven't worked."

Almost 30,000 without power as storm moves through N.B.

Wind and other warnings expected to last until early Saturday

A storm in New Brunswick has brought snow and icy roads to some places, heavy rain to others, and high winds all over, leaving thousands without power.

Environment Canada said warnings for all regions of the province would likely be in effect until early Saturday.

There were four separate warnings out for Bathurst alone: snowfall, storm surge, wind and rain. Storm surge warnings were also place for the Bay of Chaleur from Miscou Island to Campbellton.

Environment Canada says water levels are expected to exceed "high astronomical tide, with water inundating vulnerable sections of the coastlines." The warning says coastal flooding, beach erosion, minor infrastructure damage and coastal road washouts are expected. 

According to the N.B. Power outage map, almost 29,450 customers were without power at about 8:30 p.m., up from about 3,000 in late afternoon. The outages were occurring in almost all parts of the province,

In southern New Brunswick, power lines were brought down at Woodmans Point, near Grand Bay-Westfield, and were lying across Route 102, which is now closed, the RCMP said.

Wind warnings are in effect for the whole province and rainfall warnings for central, southern and eastern regions.Some northeastern parts of the province were  expected to get up to 110 km/h winds.

The wind even took down a traffic light Friday afternoon in Saint John.

Flying? Keep an eye on the sky

Fredericton International Airport public relations manager Kate O'Rourke said the airport is always ready for poor weather, but it appeared it would get lucky with just a rainstorm.

Fredericton fared better than Saint John and Moncton, where a few flights were cancelled in the evening or early on Christmas Eve.

O'Rourke advised people to check their flight status before heading to the airport, since it's possible planes coming from other places in Canada, where the weather is worse, could change plans.

"The air network is a network," said O'Rourke. "Challenges at any airport can create those kind of knock-on effects, whether it's because a traveller is connecting through that airport, or whether the plane's coming from that airport. So definitely, you know, keep your eye on what's happening in the rest of the country."

All three of the major airports, Saint John, Fredericton and Moncton, had some flight cancellations. All of the cancelled flights involved planes that were supposed to come from Toronto. 

Air travel isn't the only travel that's been affected. The Confederation Bridge, which connects P.E.I. and New Brunswick, has restricted access to certain vehicles including those pulling trailers, motorcycles and high-sided vehicles like trucks, tractor-trailers and buses.

Travel not recommended in certain areas, police say

Slippery roads were reported in some areas, including Fredericton, where the forecast was mostly for rain and strong winds.

Early in the afternoon, New Brunswick RCMP tweeted that travel is not recommended on Route 2 between Upper Kingsclear and Bedell, as well as Route 95 between Woodstock and the United States border. The tweet said "driving conditions are extremely poor."

On the government of New Brunswick's 511 that shows road conditions and advisories across the province, Route 2 is listed as "covered."

Thieves in Fredericton are stealing copper right from the power poles 'almost daily'

Bell Aliant says thieves have knocked out services more than 50 times since October

 
Shane Fowler· CBC News ·
Copper thieves in Fredericton have been responsible for more than 50 outages since Oct. 8, according to Bell Aliant. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
 
The city of Fredericton is under siege by copper thieves — and it's leaving hundreds of people without their internet on an almost daily basis. 

According to Bell Aliant, thieves have cut and stolen their lines directly from power poles in the dead of night more than 50 times since October.

"It's brazen," said Dana Lohnes, Bell Aliant's director of field operations for Atlantic Canada. "A lot of the sites that they are vandalizing are in very, very public areas, like right on the side of main roads."

Lohnes said his company has video footage of thieves using metal grinders they've attached to telescopic poles in order to cut lines from the ground without ever having to climb a pole. Once the lines are cut, he said thieves quickly separate the copper ones from the others and leave.

Some thieves have stolen more than 200 metres of copper lines at once.

He said since Oct. 8, these thefts have all happened between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. almost every night. Lohnes said he's responsible for the network in all of Atlantic Canada, but these thefts on this scale are only happening in the Fredericton area.

On Wednesday night, he said thieves cut lines in Hanwell and in Lincoln. On Monday night, they stole wire from Fredericton's north side on the corner of Sunset Drive and Route 105. Police say that single outage saw thieves slash wires in several spots that affected internet, TV, and phone lines for more than 800 customers.

"It was noted that wires had been cut from multiple poles in the area which affected Fibre Op customers internet and phone line services in the area as well as services in the Douglas, Currie Mountain and Carlisle Rd. Area," wrote Fredericton police spokesperson Sonya Gilks in an email.

The fibre-optic cable that carries Bell Aliant's internet and TV services is the collateral damage in these thefts. The high-speed internet cables are intertwined with Bell's "legacy" network — copper cables that are mostly responsible for carrying landline services.

When thieves cut one wire, though, they cut them all, but they only leave with the copper lines. Bell Aliant said they're trying to replace those stolen copper cables with smaller cables that have less copper and aren't as valuable.

"You might think that they would try to be a little more discreet, but it's been pretty brazen," said Lohnes.

He stopped short of calling it organized. He said that's a classification he'll leave to the police. But he did say Bell Aliant has started hiring their own security companies "to literally patrol the streets of these impacted areas nightly."

Each night, immediately after an outage is detected, Lohnes said Bell Aliant is dispatching their security teams and calling police. 

"We've rolled up on them a couple of times, which has sent them scurrying into the woods, that type of thing," said Lohnes. 

He said in the last few weeks, five arrests have been made, but he said it hasn't decreased the number of times thieves have struck. 

"Which is surprising," said Lohnes. "You would think people might start to lay low after arrests, but unfortunately that's not been the case."

Many years ago Bell ran their high speed Internet Cable on its way to Moncton etc straight through the fields of friend's rather large farm outside of Peticodiac without seeking his permission claiming that they had the right to so. They offered High Speed Internet to everyone in Peticodiac right up to within a mile from his farm. Although the cable was buried it was often exposed where it crossed a stream where his herd of 135 head drank. Hence often times the cattle traffic would bring the cable to the surface and start stomping on it etc. The farmer would call Bell and warn them their cable was in trouble for no reason I understood in light the fact he no Internet at all and i had to use dial up to access the web when I visited his place.

The point of my story was that the High Speed Internet provider decided to cut corners and save a lot of bucks by burying their cable through farmland in a beeline to Moncton instead of paying NB Power "a Crown Corp owned by us" for the use of their poles. Obviously their lawyers bullied the farmers claiming that they had the right to so but clearly the cows did not care for such nonsense.

That said methinks the wealthy Internet provider should have been decent enough to offer the farmers access to their services N'esy Pas?

4 arrested after copper-wire thefts kept knocking out internet services

Police in Fredericton and Oromocto areas seize copper wire and other telecommunications lines

Police say the thefts of copper wire have cost businesses, homes and government departments more than $1.4 million. (CBC)

Four people have been arrested after a string of copper-wire thefts in Fredericton and Oromocto, RCMP said Monday.

Since September, the thefts in the Fredericton and Oromocto areas have amounted to more than $1.4 million in losses suffered by households, businesses and government departments, the RCMP said in a news release.

The repeated thefts have left residents without some TV, internet and phone services for varying periods of time. Bell Aliant said the system had suffered four significant outages since September and 40 instances of vandalism.

One of the more recent instances left 850 Oromocto and Lincoln residents without Bell services after copper wire was stolen on Nov. 29. 

Police seize copper wire

RCMP said they arrested the first of four individuals, a 33-year-old man, on Nov. 23 during their investigation into copper-wire thefts, but he was taken into custody on "unrelated matters."

Police searched a residence in Geary that same day and seized "a significant quantity of copper wire and related materials."

On Nov. 29, police arrested two men and a woman, all in their 30s, at the scene after they were found loading copper wire into a vehicle, said the release. 

The three were released from custody and will appear in Fredericton provincial court at a later date. The specific charges against them were not revealed.

The next day, police searched a Haneytown residence, where they seized "a significant quantity of copper wire, as well as other telecommunication lines," RCMP said.

Effect on community

The investigation into the thefts continues.

"These copper wire thefts have had significant impacts on our community, and our members have worked diligently to gather the evidence needed to make these arrests," said Cpl. Dan Sharpe of the West District RCMP.

"We would also like to encourage anyone who is purchasing salvaged parts or metals to ensure the product has been legally acquired."

New amendments were introduced in New Brunswick on Nov. 1 to the Salvage Dealers Licensing Act to make it harder to sell stolen catalytic converters and other commonly stolen goods such as plumber's lead, brass valves, copper, lead flashing and copper wire.

The RCMP release said people who see suspicious activity near power poles or electrical substations should contact local police.

Province taking steps to curb catalytic converter thefts

Amendments will be introduced Tuesday in the legislative assembly, says public safety minister

Minister of Public Safety Kris Austin said it's no secret catalytic converter theft is an issue in New Brunswick.

"Once a catalytic converter is stolen, it's often taken to a salvage dealer in the province and sold for a couple hundred dollars. But it can cost thousands of dollars for the victims to replace these devices on their vehicles," said Austin, during a news conference at St. Croix Auto in Fredericton. 

Austin said he will be introducing amendments to the Salvage Dealers Licensing Act on Tuesday which will make it harder to sell stolen catalytic converters and other commonly stolen goods like plumber's lead, brass valves, copper, lead flashing and copper wire. 

The amendments would double the fines for salvage dealers who don't comply, said Austin. One of the more significant amendments being introduced, he said, is one prohibiting salvage dealers from paying cash for catalytic converters or other high-theft items. 

Instead, they'll need to pay using cheque, e-transfer or another traceable method, said Austin.

"We know that in many of these cases, those who are stealing these items, they're doing it for quick and easy cash," he said. "By creating a paper trail, we aim to deter criminals from committing these crimes."

Austin said other proposed amendments would add catalytic converters and vehicle batteries to the list of high-theft items that require salvage dealers to record date of purchase, price paid, and the name and address of the person who sold the item. 

Salvage dealers will also be required to record a government-issued identification document for high-theft items along with registration information of the vehicle from which the catalytic converter was removed.

"We are focused on making the lives of criminals harder," said Austin. "And these amendments will do just that."

Andy LeClair, the RCMP superintendent for the west district of New Brunswick, said to reporters that the new amendments will put the province in a better position to close down the market for stolen goods. He said it's been done successfully in other provinces.

LeClair said catalytic converter thefts have increased across the country in the last few years, noting that in New Brunswick, catalytic converter theft is higher in the Moncton area.

He said car dealerships are often a target. 

Jonathan Brawn, managing partner and general manager at St. Croix Auto, said in the last six to eight months, they've had about 12 catalytic converters stolen from their dealership. He said it's a significant issue with other dealerships, too.

Brawn said they have cameras and have paid people to watch the dealerships in the evening due to the thefts. 

Austin said the problem likely won't be completely eliminated and Brawn agreed.

"But if we can go from 10 problems to two problems, that's much more manageable," said Brawn. "No system or legislation will cure all sins or make it perfect. But I do think this is going to greatly reduce the impact, which is a step in the right direction."

Ex-PC president denies patronage behind appointment to government board

Don Moore's appointment is the latest in a cluster of appointments going to supporters of the party in power

A former president of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick says he landed an appointment to a government board through a normal hiring process and not through patronage.

Don Moore was named to the board of Service New Brunswick in June by the PC government of Premier Blaine Higgs — the latest in a cluster of appointments going to supporters of the party in power.

Moore would not do an interview but said in an email that he responded to an online posting. 

"I applied to an open role on the [government] website using my resumé," he said.

"A few months later I was appointed to the position. I am happy to be serving our province in this capacity." 

But Liberal MLA Chuck Chiasson, who questioned other PC appointments in the legislature in May, said he was skeptical.

Appointing PC supporters

"Surely that's what they're going to say, but I'd like to know who else applied for that job and what their qualifications were," he said.

"I would be very curious to see how many other applicants there were and I would curious to see some of the resumés of those applicants, and how they compare to his." 

Moore, who was party president for just under a year in 2017, is the latest PC insider to be named to a provincial board since Higgs took office last November:

  • In May the government appointed Mel Norton, a former Saint John mayor and 2016 PC leadership candidate, as chair of WorkSafe New Brunswick. Labour Minister Trevor Holder said Norton was chosen through an independent process.
  • The same month, the PC party's official representative Marven Grant and former PC MLA Kirk MacDonald were appointed to the New Brunswick Insurance Board.
  • John Correia, a former co-chair of the PC party's fundraising operation, was appointed to the board of NB Liquor in April and to the board of Cannabis NB in June.

"They're certainly having a field day appointing their friends and supporters to boards and commissions," Chiasson said on Monday.

As PC party president in 2017, Moore told CBC News it was impossible to avoid choosing acquaintances for important jobs in New Brunswick.

'A small province'

He was defending Higgs's choice of the spouse of a PC leadership candidate to review logistical problems with the party's leadership race the previous year.

"Let's not kid ourselves," Moore said at the time.

"This is a small province. We all know each other. … Are we ever going to get that 100 per cent true independence? Maybe, maybe not. There's always going to be a connection of somebody to something."

A short biography with the announcement said Moore had more than 25 years of experience "in the business, information technology and academic sectors" managing development and technology projects. 

Service New Brunswick board positions are not full-time jobs.

A spokesperson for Service New Brunswick said board members are paid a per diem of $250 for meetings of four hours or less and $500 for meetings of more than four hours. They can also claim expenses.

Other board positions pay differently. NB Liquor board members get a $155 per diem, plus meals and mileage, for attending meetings. The per diem for WorkSafe board members is $200. 

Moore says he landed an appointment to a government board through a normal hiring process. (LinkedIn)

In 2012, Higgs, as finance minister, signalled his distaste for partisan patronage appointments. He refused to publicly endorse then-PC premier David Alward's appointment of cabinet minister Margaret-Ann Blaney as CEO of Efficiency New Brunswick.

Higgs said at the time the decision was Alward's and he was obliged to accept it. The Liberals couldn't "criticize things that each of us do," he said, "and none of us feel good about it."

In May this year, he defended the appointment of Correia, noting he'd been on the NB Liquor board when the PCs were in power before, only to be removed by the Liberals after they took power in 2014.

"He was removed despite the board wanting him to stay, because he was a valued member of that board," Higgs said.

"He did his homework. He studied the rules. … But you know why he couldn't stay? Because he was a friend of mine."

Higgs said Correia's background in retail business was a good fit with NB Liquor. 

"I know it might come as a novel concept to many to have someone who knows business be on a board," he said. 

Liberal supporters rewarded with appointments

He also accused the Liberals of rewarding their supporters during their four years in power, including with paving contracts and long-term leases for Cannabis NB stores. 

"If we want to open this box about a few of these positions, versus the Pandora's box we saw from the Liberal government in the past, I'm willing to take that on and lay it all out there for the world to see," the premier said.

Liberal MLA Chuck Chiasson acknowledged that Liberal supporters were rewarded with appointments when the party was in power but claimed 'it was the exception, probably, not the rule, and it seems to be the rule now.'

Higgs wasn't available to comment on Monday.

Chiasson acknowledged that Liberal supporters were rewarded with appointments when the party was in power but claimed "it was the exception, probably, not the rule, and it seems to be the rule now." 

He said the appointments were especially galling given Higgs's previous criticism of patronage.

"If he's running the show and he feels that way, they've obviously thrown that value out the window," said the Liberal MLA. "It's not even subtle. It's blatant."

What got this Fredericton TikTok star over 20 million views? French onion soup

Larry Canam’s online audience has ballooned to 2.3 million followers

Larry Canam, 70, added gardening and cooking videos to his beloved beverage tutorials to gain over two million followers on TikTok. (Submitted)

Larry Canam would've made the soup anyway. 

You might think having 2.3 million followers on TikTok is like having a full-time job, but the 70-year-old Frederictonian said his videos reflect his day-to-day life, and filming it only takes a little extra effort. 

Canam started his account with videos on how to make milkshakes and classic cocktails and had just under 800,000 followers in the beginning of 2022.

Over the past several months, though, he's diversified his content, filming himself digging for potatoes in his garden or making muffins for his wife. 

Not abandoning his well-loved beverage tutorials, Canam said he's used his gardening and cooking videos to draw in new audiences.

He pointed to his TikTok tutorial on how to make French onion soup, which brought in 20 million views, as his most successful video this year. 

WATCH | From making French onion soup to shovelling his driveway, these videos made Larry Canam a TikTok sensation: 

Fredericton's TikTok star gains over 2 million followers

Duration 2:04
Larry Canam branched into gardening and cooking videos to grow his audience, and with 2.3 million followers, it’s safe to say it worked.

With the arrival of winter — and in true Canadian fashion — Canam is also making videos of himself shovelling his driveway, taking snowy walks and starting his day with a cup of tea by a wood stove. 

"I thought it would be fun, you know, to walk down the stone path that I had made and show them the garden, and [I] was really pleased with the response that I got from it." 

He thinks these types of videos, which can surface in the endless TikTok algorithm as a few moments of peaceful content, also draw people to his account.

He calls his approach "fun and personal," and he still spends time connecting with his audience, taking recipe requests and responding to comments. People will tell him they never learned how to cook growing up, so he keeps his cooking videos simple and easy to follow.

Fans spot him out in the city

Canam said he gets recognized when he goes out now, whether it's at Costco or Home Hardware.

People who've seen his videos ask to take pictures with him, but Canam joked he's also a familiar face at the local liquor store, where the employees recognize him now and ask what cocktail is on for that night.

His filmmaking and creativity developed as the year progressed, he said, but he has no plans to take his old videos down. He called them "pretty bad" but said people still liked them.

"If anybody's thinking of getting into it, you know, don't be afraid to get into it."

Legal charity running out of money, time YEA RGHT

Legal charity running out of money, time

Pro Bono Ontario dispensed free legal advice to 18K clients last year

Laurie Fagan· CBC News ·
Lori Shepherd turned to Pro Bono Ontario after her husband died without leaving a will, setting off a battle over life insurance payments. (supplied )

An Ottawa legal clinic that provides free advice to litigants in civil matters who may otherwise go unrepresented has run out of money, forcing its closure as soon as next month.

Last year, 18,000 people sought legal counsel at Pro Bono Ontario's (PBO) three offices, two in Toronto and one in Ottawa. Ottawa's office assisted 2,613 people in 2017.

Lawyers volunteer their time to staff the Ottawa office, located at the provincial court house on Elgin Street. Most of their clients are referred by the courts, and come seeking help with such problems as wrongful dismissal, landlord/tenant disputes and estate matters. 

PBO received a year's worth of emergency funding from the Law Foundation of Ontario to continue operating in 2018, but that lifeline is about to expire. The registered charity is looking for $500,000 from the province to continue paying the bills, including two paid staff who help manage the Ottawa office.

Gratitude, relief

Lori Shepherd, 45, turned to PBO after her husband died of cancer in January 2017. He hadn't left a will, and she'd left her job to care for him.

Shepherd found herself locked in battle with the executor of her husband's estate to get a share of his $200,000 life insurance policy to help raise their two children, six and 13.

I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and relief that somebody could hear me, that somebody could feel my struggle.
- Lori Shepherd, PBO client

Initially she hired a lawyer, but said all she ended up with was a $3,000 credit card bill. That's when she turned to PBO.

In June 2017, Shepherd went to the Pro-Bono office in Ottawa and staff made no promises but said they'd try and find the right lawyer to help her. 

"I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and relief that somebody could hear me, that somebody could feel my struggle," she said. "Previous to that I'd felt so alone and confused."

PBO referred her to a lawyer at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP who eventually helped her avoid a civil suit and arranged for monthly payments to her children.

"As much as anything I just needed it to be over. The amount of anxiety that I felt through the whole process was overwhelming," Shepherd said. "I felt so grateful when he told me I'd get the money."

'It broke my heart'

Ottawa lawyer David Scott helped create Pro Bono Ontario. Now in his 80s, Scott still volunteers once a month at PBO's Ottawa office. 

"The personal satisfaction is enormous," he said. "Last week I helped five people and I walked away euphoric, but then I heard we're going to have to close and it broke my heart"  he said 

Scott said the lawyers who volunteer at PBO help clients draw up documents and prepare their arguments for court.

"These people are desperate, and before, without this office, they had nowhere to go," he said. 

According to PBO, an independent study showed that in 2015-16 the charity provided legal advice worth $5.76 million to unrepresented litigants

Litigants who show up to court unprepared and unrepresented cause costly delays, Scott said. He believes the province has a responsibility to fund PBO through its statutory obligation to provide every citizen with access to justice.

"It's an absolutely critical service, and we're talking about enormously disadvantaged citizens," Scott said. "The time has come for the attorney general and ... the Law Society to face up to these responsibilities."

About PBO

Pro Bono Ontario is here to help Ontarians who have essential legal needs but can’t afford a lawyer.

Many of our clients are vulnerable individuals who desperately need help with everyday legal problems. These include frail people on fixed incomes who have fallen prey to predatory lending schemes, caregivers facing job loss when tending to sick relatives, children facing barriers to their education, or self-employed contractors struggling to collect monies owed. These and other struggling groups approach us by the thousands for help. Our services prevent a spiral of costly social problems, and often mean the difference between shelter and homelessness, food on the table and hunger, economic stability and bankruptcy, productive work and unemployment.

We also help build communities by supporting start-ups, artists, social service organizations and social entrepreneurs with the legal issues that come with running a small business in Ontario.

Pro Bono Ontario develops and manages high quality programs that connect volunteer lawyers with Ontarians who can’t afford a lawyer. Wherever possible, we embed our free legal services in front-line environments like courthouses, schools and hospitals – places frequented by people with legal problems they can’t afford to address.

Thank you for your interest in Pro Bono Ontario.

Toronto man billed more than $8K for rental car damage he says he didn't cause

Sandy Soufivand says Enterprise Rent-A-Car billed more than $8,000 in damage 

Tyler Cheese · CBC News ·
Sandy Soufivand says he picked up a vehicle from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in September. Two weeks later, the car broke down and now the rental company has billed him more than $8,000 for damage he says he didn't cause. (Submitted by Sandy Soufivand)
 
A Toronto man says he was asked to pay more than $8,000 for damage to a rental car he says he didn't cause.
Sandy Soufivand, a medical lab technician, told CBC Toronto that he picked up a vehicle from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in September. 

Two weeks later, the car broke down and now the rental company is blaming him. The situation has caused a number of sleepless nights, Soufivand said.

"It was just a lot of stress, just so much stress," he said. "Unable to think, unable to sleep. Just an overwhelming amount of stress."

Soufivand rented the car following a collision with his personal vehicle in August. The rental was paid for by his auto insurance company, Aviva, but after the car broke down a mechanic found a damaged transmission and evidence of impact to its undercarriage. Though Enterprise is holding Soufivand responsible for the damage, Aviva agreed to cover the bill after CBC Toronto reached out.

The front end of the rental car is pictured, with visible lines of transmission fluid on the ground below it.                                       When the rental car broke down, he noticed it was leaking fluid. Enterprise Rent-A-Car later billed him more than $8,000 for a new transmission and damage to the undercarriage. (Sandy Soufivand)

Though the bill is no longer a problem, Soufivand wants to warn others to fully review any rental agreements they sign. 

He signed Enterprise's agreement which included a statement that the renter received the vehicle in "good physical and mechanical condition." 

Soufivand feels that this is unfair given that he does not have the expertise of a mechanic. 

"The overwhelming majority of people that rent a car from them are not going to be car mechanics," he said. "You cannot sign off saying that every mechanical component in the car is in good condition because you cannot verify that.… They don't have a mechanic there."

In an email statement to CBC Toronto, Enterprise Holdings, the company that owns Enterprise Rent-A-Car, stated, "we follow a maintenance schedule with our vehicles based on the manufacturer's recommended requirements.

"This includes regular oil changes, tire inspection and rotation, brake, suspension, exhaust, vehicle fluids checks, and a general vehicle inspection. We also perform regular visual vehicle inspections for safety items, such as tires and warning lights, as well as changes in vehicle condition."

Transmission fluid can be seen on the ground below the rental car.Sandy Soufivand says it's unfair for Enterprise to have him sign off on the mechanical condition of the car when he doesn't have any mechanical expertise. (Sandy Soufivand)

The statement reaffirmed that Enterprise believes Soufivand is at fault, "as [the vehicle] would not have been drivable if the damage existed earlier." 

Jennifer Marston, a lawyer with Pro Bono Ontario, told CBC Toronto that people need to carefully read any rental agreements they sign.

Even so, if this issue did go to court the terms of the contract would likely be up for debate, she said.

"If there's an onerous term of a consumer contract buried in the fine print then the company can't necessarily rely on that to enforce its rights," Marston said.

A judge would also likely take into consideration the power imbalance between Soufivand and the rental company, she said.

"The business has had months and years and the benefit of legal advice in developing this contract and the consumer is often in line at the counter and with other people waiting behind them and being asked to sign on a dotted line quickly to get the transaction complete," Marston said. 

She added that the bill could be fought in court but Soufivand said hiring a lawyer would cost him around the same as the bill itself. 

Now that the insurance company has agreed to cover the cost, he's just happy to move on from the situation. 

But he does have some advice for other renters. 

"Before you get in the car, when the adviser is there doing the walk around, ask questions," he said.

"When was the last time that a mechanic took a look at it? What happens if I'm driving it and I've done nothing wrong and the car breaks down? Will I be held responsible for it? Ask all of those important questions and make sure that you're not driving away in a vehicle that has been previously damaged."

with our pedophile Yank anti-Semi...":

Clearly you have no idea who you are fucking with pussy. However it
seems that your RCMP buddies have to move your number one fan Dana Baby
Durnford the Newfy diddler in pissy pampers ASAP EH Mr Baconfat?

Apparentely you bastards are all shitting bricks after purported true
confessions that your palls the dumb shills Dirty Dicky Dean and Dana
Baby Durnford published on the Internet. One was hooked at the hip with
the Hells Angels and the other with the Outlaws and they are now both
informants forthe RCMP? Now that is truly funny.

All I am is a scootertramp whom everybody and his dog attacked because
I happened to blow the whistle to the IRS in order to protect the
rights and interests of my little Clan.

Many years later after the econom tanked Bernie Madoff was forced to
spill some beans and make a deal in confidence witht he corrupt Feds
attcking mean old me. The Feds sic a drunken Zionist spin doctor and
the RCMP on mean old me and think that I don't know the score?

As I always said I am to dumb to know fear and you can't fool me
because I am too stupid. However on the other hand people such as you
Mr Baconfat prove to me on a daily basis that the Forest Gump character
was a truly wise guy.

"Stupid is as Stupid Does"

Before you practise your MO and make this comment go "Poof" then deny
it you should well know by now that the proof that it was once posted
in your evil blog is winging its way to many other people who hate you
as much as I do. We all deserve to have a good laugh reading the words
of a perverted pussy pissing in his pampers as an evil Zionist starts
packing his bags to return to his purported promised land. You ain't a
true Canadian not by any long shot of any sniper that you dudes have
been promising to send against me for years. The likes of you evil
bastards are not welcome in MY nativeland as long as I have breath to
say or do anything about it EH?

Say Hoka Hey to you buddy Gaby Baby for me when you get back to you
precious safe harbour will ya MR Baconfat?

Obviously your butt buddy Dana Baby posted this shit in my old blog
first thing sunday morning. what better day to return the favour and
post it in his pal the Zionist blog? Who is celebrating what lately?
Its hard to keep up with all you religious freaks and your silly
rituals.

Amos...since you or whoever decided to once again bring 1% bikers into
this, maybe it's high time I brought out into the open something that I
think you already knew but for whatever reason never mentioned.

You know I used to ride before my diving accident. Most people don't
know that. At any rate Amos...remember the first ghost account I
attacked you and Werner Bock with last year? PortHardyOFFO was the
name. Now Amos...I know YOU know what this means, but I wonder for
everyone else's benefit if they can put it together.

O-F-F-O

1%-ers...O-F-F-O...the fact that I'm not afraid to talk about the
Hell's Angels and what FAGS they are...O-F-F-O...

Every cop Amos sends this to just shit massive bricks, and Amos
climaxed all over himself with excitement. Trouble is, NOT EVEN THIS
revelation is going to get me in any trouble Amos.

What part of PROTECTED ASSET don't you understand you fuckin idiot?

Advocates want Fatumah Najjuma's deportation cancelled, say feds vowed change for undocumented workers

She worked on the front lines during COVID-19. Now she could be deported and ripped from her daughter

Advocates want Fatumah Najjuma's deportation cancelled, say feds vowed change for undocumented workers

Shanifa Nasser· CBC News ·
Fatumah Najjuma, 29, is pictured here with her three-year-old daughter, Ilham. Najjuma is facing deportation to Uganda, the country from which she says she ran for her life, because of her religious and social affiliations.
For three years, Fatumah Najjuma worked as a personal support worker in Toronto, including during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now she could be deported and separated from her daughter, even as the federal government says it is working to do more to help secure permanent residence for undocumented workers. (Submitted by Fatumah Najjuma)

One year after the federal government vowed to do more to give status to undocumented workers, Canada is pressing forward with deporting a personal support worker, separating her from her child and sending her back to the country from which she says she ran for her life.

Fatumah Najjuma, a 29-year-old, fled Uganda while pregnant in 2018 after she says she was disowned by her family and her life was put in danger for her religious and social affiliations.

For three years, she's worked as a personal support worker in long-term care homes and at people's homes, including during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's a role in which she says she's found meaning, despite privately facing the terror of losing the life she's built in the safety of Canada.

"The elderly, they really need our help," she told CBC Toronto. "You assist them with doing everything so that they feel normal, like every other person."

But "normal" is something Najjuma hasn't been able to feel with her new life on the brink of collapse. Despite applying to stay in Canada on compassionate and humanitarian grounds in March, she faces deportation on Jan. 7. 

"My mental health is worsening every day. I'm not sleeping, I'm not eating… Each day that passes, I get more scared."

Najjuma is pictured here with her daughter on her third birthday in March 2022. It's the last time she says she remembers being happy. Not long after, she was sent a deportation order and could now be separated from her little girl.

Federal Immigration Minister Sean Fraser's mandate includes working to "further explore ways of regularizing status for undocumented workers who are contributing to Canadian communities." Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says that work is underway, but that it cannot comment on programs or policies under development.

Fraser recently met with approximately 100 undocumented migrant leaders from around the country, to hear directly from them, the department added.

"As we advance our work on further programs, we will continue listening to experts as well as undocumented workers themselves... Until new policies are announced, the existing ones remain in effect," spokesperson Jeffery MacDonald said in a statement.

'Completely irrational,' says advocate

That means while a change could soon be coming to ease the path to permanent residence for those like Najjuma, she is nevertheless set to be deported to Uganda while the specifics are ironed out.

That's unacceptable to Syed Hussan, executive director of Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, who says his organization was told a decision on regularization would be coming this year.

"It's completely irrational," Hussan said. 

"People are continuing to be ripped apart from their families, mistreated because they don't have permanent resident status, despite the promise… A policy is being developed and deportations are happening at the same time."

Najjuma's deportation date approaches as another personal support worker and her son who also stood to be torn from their Canadian family members finally received their permanent residence.

Nike Okafor and her son, Sydney, had been in Canada for 19 years and waiting on their sponsorship application to be processed when they were suddenly hit with a deportation order by Canadian Border Services Agency.

As CBC Toronto reported, their nightmare finally ended last Monday, when they got word that their permanent residence application had been approved.

But for Hussan, "It's not about finding exceptional cases, but to take on an unfair and discriminatory system that denies permanent residence to people… then wrenches them apart from their communities and puts them in situations of risk."

According to the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, there are an estimated half million undocumented people in Canada, and another 1.2 million with study and work permits or claiming asylum — many who can't access basic services and face exploitation by landlords or at work.

Thousands have been deported or face deportation since the immigration mandate a year ago, the group says.

IRCC says tens of thousands of temporary workers transition to permanent status each year. Of the 406,000 foreign nationals who became permanent residents in 2021, it says nearly 169,000 of them transitioned from worker status.

CBSA says it considers 'best interest of the child'

In a statement to CBC Toronto, the Canadian Border Services Agency said it cannot comment on individual cases for privacy reasons, but that it has a legal obligation to remove those who are inadmissible to Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, and who have removal orders in force.

"The decision to remove someone from Canada is not taken lightly," the CBSA said, adding the agency only acts on a removal order "once all legal avenues of recourse have been exhausted."

Syed Hussan with the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, says he wants to see all migrants in Canada be granted permanent residency, adding his group was told the federal government would be making a decision on a policy this year. (Krystalle Ramlakhan/CBC)

Najjuma's deportation order came months after she had already submitted a humanitarian and compassionate grounds application. Humanitarian applications don't automatically stop a deportation unless they receive the first stage of approval, but Najjuma says her application is still being reviewed. 

Having a Canadian-born child also doesn't prevent someone from being removed, the CBSA said. 

The agency says it "always considers the best interest of the child before removing someone," adding a family can be kept together by removing the child from Canada too.

That would mean uprooting Najjuma's three-year-old daughter, Ilham, a Canadian citizen, to a country where her mother says her life too would be endangered. 

Judge cites 'moral debt' owed to front-line workers

Toronto-based lawyer Vakkas Bilsin worked to help secure permanent residence for Okafor. While he is not involved in Najjuma's case, the two women's stories have much in common. 

"In my opinion, Ms. Fatumah's sudden removal from Canada is neither reasonable nor sensible before she receives the final decision on the outstanding humanitarian and compassionate application," Bilsin said, adding he hopes someone in authority will hear her story and intervene. 

In fact, in a ruling this year against the Immigration Appeal Division, a federal court judge indicated applicants who have worked as health care aids or on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic deserve special consideration.

"The moral debt owed to immigrants who worked on the front lines to help protect vulnerable people in Canada during the first waves of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be overstated," Justice Shirzad Ahmed wrote. 

For now, as the clock ticks and her deportation approaches, Najjuma is trying to remain hopeful.

"All I want is to stay with my daughter, to be with her, to raise her in this country and not anywhere else," she said.

"Because this is home."

Mother and son facing deportation after 19 years in Canada get 3-month reprieve as lawyer takes fight to court

CBSA changed course Friday morning after Nike Okafor went public with her story

A Toronto woman and her son who were facing deportation after living in Canada for 19 years are now being allowed to stay for three more months as their lawyer takes their fight to federal court.

On Friday, just hours after CBC News reported that Nike Okafor's family faced being torn apart as she and her eldest son were ordered to return to Nigeria, the family's lawyer received a letter from the Canada Border Services Agency granting their request for a deferral.

Okafor, 39, and her 21-year-old son Sydney, who was born in Nigeria, had been bracing to say goodbye to her Canadian husband and two children who were born in this country. They were to report to Toronto's Pearson Airport on July 26.

"Having considered your request, I am of the opinion that a deferral of the removal order is appropriate under the circumstances," the CBSA's letter says. However, it adds that the agency has an obligation to carry out deportations "as soon as reasonably possible."

Okafor and her son had been in Canada for nearly two decades before she received a deportation order this past May.

'My whole life is here'

All this time later, she never imagined that she would be ripped from her husband and two of her children — all Canadian citizens — and forced to return to the country she fled.

Instead, the mother of three once again found herself fighting for her future, as well as that of her son, who arrived with her at the age of two all those years ago. She was pregnant with her second child at the time.

"If I have to go back, it will end my life," Okafor said through tears. "I'll be separated from my husband, I'll be separated from my Canadian children, I don't know how I can live."

"My whole life is here."

After nearly two decades in Canada, Nike Okafor is facing deportation to Nigeria despite having a Canadian husband and two Canadian children, amid delays in processing her spousal sponsorship application. The mother of three speaks to CBC Toronto about her wish to stay in the country.

Okafor came to Canada as an asylum seeker in 2003. A Muslim, she'd had a son with a Christian man and says she feared the boy would be taken from her amid religious tensions in Nigeria's north. She fled to secure a future for them both, she told CBC News. 

Her refugee claim was denied but as Okafor appealed and tried to find a way to stay, life went on. She said she was told to stay in close touch with the CBSA over the years and did so.

In the meantime, she put herself through school, found employment as a personal support worker, had two Canadian-born children, met the man she would marry and built a future she never thought possible back home. 

But that future was nearly cut short.

'Very, very unjust'

This past April, Okafor and her son, who are currently in Canada without status, suddenly received a deportation order from the CBSA. That's despite her husband filing a spousal sponsorship application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) more than two years ago.

Rotimi Odunaiya’s wife, Nike Okafor, is facing deportation to Nigeria after living in Canada for 19 years after delays in the government processing her spousal application. He speaks to CBC Toronto about the message he has for the government.

According to the federal government's website, the average processing time for spousal sponsorships is 15 months. Okafor has been waiting 28 months already and says she would have long been a permanent resident if not for the delays. 

It's a situation that Janet Dench, executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, calls "very, very unjust."

"I think that most Canadians, when they look at these situations, they think that this doesn't make any sense, and of course, how is it that one part of the government is kind of undermining the efforts of the other? Don't they talk to each other?" Dench said.

"And basically the answer is that, no … at least, not on individual cases."

Dench said while a case like Okafor's involves both the CBSA and IRCC, the two departments work according to their specific mandates, the former focused on law enforcement and the latter selecting and facilitating new residents.

The IRCC's website says one of the ministry's goals is "family reunification." Still, there appears to be no mechanism to prevent the CBSA from removing someone even if they have a family-class-related permanent residency application underway, as is the case for Okafor and her son.

Dench said she's hopeful that will soon change, noting the federal immigration minister's mandate letter calls on him to look into broadening options for undocumented workers.

"We're hoping that the government will see the opportunity to really regularize a very large number of people and to put an end to this kind of contradiction," she said. 

Family reunification a 'pillar' of immigration system

In a statement to CBC News, IRCC said Okafor and her son's application for permanent residence is "in queue for review" and will be met with an "objective review."

The department would not say how long the wait will be and said time frames for processing some applications may vary due to the "unique nature" of each case. It also did not explain how someone with an application under review could be given a deportation order or whether the IRCC communicates with the CBSA to prevent such situations.

"Family reunification is a fundamental pillar of our immigration system, and IRCC works to process applications for permanent residence expeditiously while conducting all verifications required under the law," the statement said. 

The CBSA told CBC News "the decision to remove someone from Canada is not taken lightly."

There are "a variety of reasons" that might prevent a removal order from being enforced expeditiously, it said. Having a Canadian-born child does not prevent a person from being deported, however it added "the CBSA always considers the best interest of the child before removing someone."

With time running out for Okafor and her family, Toronto-based immigration lawyer Vakkas Bilsin hopes the spousal sponsorship will be approved in the three months that the family has been granted. (CBC)

With time running out for Okafor and her family, Toronto-based immigration lawyer Vakkas Bilsin has brought the case before the federal court and hopes the spousal sponsorship will be approved in the three months that the family has been granted.

"Knowingly sending Ms. and Mr. Okafor into the inevitable, serious and irreparable harm that awaits them in Nigeria is merciless and goes against every fibre that Canada's immigration and refugee system and Canadian society was built on," Bilsin wrote in a recent application calling on the CBSA to defer their deportation.

Speaking to CBC News, Bilsin said he's seen no explanation for why the CBSA is opting to remove the two all these years later. 

"I think she deserves to be in Canada. She might not have permanent residency but she's Canadian in heart."

'We would have to restart our lives'

As their deportation date approached, Okafor's eldest son tried to make sense of what it would mean to leave behind the only country he's called home. 

Enrolled in a sports management program at Humber College, he had no idea if he'd be in Canada to see it through. He's worried too about his younger siblings who look up to him.

"If we had to leave, we would have to restart our lives," he said. "It wouldn't be right."

Okafor's husband, Rotimi Odunaiya, a Canadian citizen who she's been with for 10 years and married for about five, said the family has been living one day at a time, hoping the government will step in to keep them together. 

"Somebody who has already lived a life here, up to two decades… contributing to society, working as a PSW — it's not a joke," he said.  "If somebody says this cannot happen in Canada — yes, it does happen."

"We're a family," he said. "Don't split us."

Active TB case prompts mass testing at N.B. fish processing plant

Tuberculosis test results for 87 True North Salmon Company employees expected later this week

All staff at a New Brunswick fish processing plant are being tested for tuberculosis after one of its employees tested positive for the disease last week.

Public Health informed True North Salmon Company that an employee at its Blacks Harbour plant tested positive for active tuberculosis last Thursday, said Joel Richardson, spokesperson for Cooke Aquaculture, which owns True North Salmon.

Richardson said a team from Public Health was at the plant on Tuesday and Wednesday testing employees, with the results expected to come in starting Thursday.

"We're very grateful that all of our 87 employees have co-operated fully with Public Health to be screened for symptoms, and any employees who have been contacted for testing are required to complete testing this week before being permitted to resume work," he said.

True North Salmon tested 87 workers for tuberculosis after an employee became sick

Duration 1:04
An employee at True North Salmon in Blacks Harbour, a village in southwest N.B., has tested positive for tuberculosis. Joel Richardson, company spokesperson, said he believes the risk of further spread is low.

Tuberculosis, also known as TB, is caused by the bacteria mycobacterium tuberculosis and is spread from person to person through the air, according to a New Brunswick Public Health fact sheet about the disease.

The bacteria are spread from person to person through coughing, sneezing and talking when in close, frequent and prolonged contact with someone who has active TB, according to Public Health.

Richardson said the employee had been off work sick for about two weeks prior to testing positive.

Cooke Aquaculture spokesperson Joel Richardson says 87 employees at a fish processing plant operated by a company subsidiary have been tested for tuberculosis and are awaiting results.

He said Public Health determined through contact tracing that the risk to other employees and to the wider community was "low," and therefore a notification for the region wasn't required.

Richardson said the employee is currently in hospital and is expected to recover.

CBC News has asked Public Health whether any more cases have been detected and whether any possible exposure sites were identified.

In an email, spokesperson Sean Hatchard said Public Health cannot comment on specifics, but that any exposed individuals are contacted directly.

"It is also common for Public Health to work closely with businesses and organizations who may have a confirmed case," he said.

He said general symptoms can include loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, fever, high sweats, prolonged cough and chest pain.

Source unclear

Richardson said Public Health officials told the company that the employee doesn't appear to have contracted tuberculosis from the community.

Richardson said the employee also didn't travel outside of the region in recent weeks.

Richardson said the only explanation for its source is that the employee had a latent case of TB, which only recently became active.

"Our understanding from talking to the medical officers is that some forms of tuberculosis can actually be dormant in individuals even if they've previously been vaccinated as children, and that's the case with this particular individual."

Not uncommon scenario, expert says

TB cases can either be "active" or "latent," said Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases specialist based out of the Toronto General Hospital.

A latent case occurs when the bacteria that causes TB enters someone's body, but their immune system effectively fights it off.

Infectious disease specialist Dr. Isaac Bogoch says it's not uncommon for someone to have latent tuberculosis that turns into an active case later in life. (Submitted by Isaac Bogoch)

The bacteria, however, can remain dormant in the body for decades, and up to 10 per cent of the time will at some point turn into an active case, with the person exhibiting symptoms such as cough and fever.

"That's like the norm. That's what happens the vast majority of the time," Bogoch said.

"There's certain parts of the world where TB is much more common compared to Canada, and many people are exposed to this infection early in life and they developed what's called latent tuberculosis … and they don't know they have it."

While TB can bring about severe symptoms, Bogoch said the treatment options available in Canada are very effective.

"You have to start off usually on four different antibiotics — four different pills — and you treat for a minimum of six months to ensure that it's treated … and again, it's not that hard to treat if you know what you're doing."

Increasing mask usage

Richardson said employees were already required to wear masks while on the processing line.

However, with the confirmed case of TB, the company is currently requiring employees wear a mask as soon as they enter the plant.

Richardson said operations at the plant otherwise have not been affected.

A “Will Not” Province? 3 Questions for CME’s Joel Richardson

, ,

FREDERICTON–Joel Richardson, vice president with the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) organization, raised eyebrows when he said New Brunswick has become not just a “have not” province, but a “will not” province.  

We wanted to go deeper to understand why he calls New Brunswick a “will not” province, so we asked him three questions:

1) Why do you call New Brunswick a “will not” province?

Many people now consider New Brunswick a “will-not” province, although I recognize that not everyone likes to hear it. I’ve never been one to mince words, so I’m telling it like it is in the hopes that it helps us move forward. New Brunswick’s brand and economic status as a self-sufficient province has dropped in the last century from a “have-province” to a “have-not” province to a “will-not province”.  Throughout our history we have been credited for being very inventive and industrious – and we took care of one another.

We’ve shifted to a society that relies heavily on Federal government transfer payment bailouts with over 40 per cent of our provincial governments budget now relying on money from other provinces just to help cover our essential services. That Federal money has relaxed our need to be innovative, motivated and hungry to accept new business development opportunities such as responsible resource development. Unemployment soaring over 20 per cent plus in some regions with over 40,000 residents out of work across NB. Housing construction starts are the lowest in 20 years below 1995 levels. New Brunswick youth have a much higher unemployment rate (17.5 per cent) than youth across Canada (14.3 per cent) and our child poverty rates are some of the highest in the country. Provincial government program expenditures are rapidly outpacing revenue.

Given our depressed economy and failing social standing, our political officials, community leaders and citizens have to stop winging decision making based on political opportunity and instead on science, economic and social benefit. It’s time New Brunswick graduated to a “have-province” again. We need to lift our province from the edge of chaos and our children out of poverty. Let’s boldly choose now to be part of the solution not the problem.

2) What attitudes need to change in the province?

People need to encourage and support entrepreneurs and companies who are willing to take significant risks in order to start or grow a business. We need to wrap our arms around goods and services exporters to support their growth and competitiveness so they can grow their sales and hire more people. Government doesn’t create jobs. Companies don’t create jobs. Demand from customers for products creates jobs.

We need to create more demand by strengthening global trade relationships and creating more awareness around our products.  Given our small population, New Brunswicker’s need to develop an export mindset so that in the future, even the smallest New Brunswick business will be multinational. Helping companies realize increased export sales will: 1) create new direct & indirect jobs, 2) generate GNB tax and royalty revenue to help cover health, education and social services, and 3) help families.

3) How best do we create more economic activity, jobs and wealth in the province?

We need to manufacture our future. Let’s get moving and aim higher. We need to set return on investment goals to strive for – 1) Become the most trade-friendly partner in the world; 2) Be Canada’s most prosperous province; 3) Achieve an unemployment rate of 6 percent, and; 4) Be the preferred location for people to invest, manufacture, export from, employ and grow.

Here’s 6 actions New Brunswick must do to survive and thrive – 1) Double manufacturing and exporting output by 2030; 2) Invest in innovation and new product development,; 3) Develop skills and careers in manufacturing, technology and trades for youth, immigrants and our aboriginal communities; 4) Approve and begin major capital projects required to transport our energy, resources and manufactured goods to market; 5) Explore alternative energy solutions like natural gas and renewable technologies, and; 6) Ensure our business climate is globally competitive.

We can do this, we must do this so hope is restored.  After all, it is our provincial motto – Spem Reduxit  …“It has restored hope”.
