    In reality, the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act is being turned into a piece of swiss cheese. Section 16 of the Animal Health Act explicitly exempts data gathered through its authority from being subject to a FOI request. Equally disturbing, this section also contains a gag clause that could prevent journalists and others from releasing information about serious animal disease outbreaks.

    The proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway could impact all British Columbians. A significant spill off the north coast could impact the environment and the economy of the entire coast. The New Democrat opposition have joined with the majority of British Columbians in saying that that risk is too high.

    “It’s hard to imagine why the Liberals felt the need to table eight pieces of legislation this week, with just 12 sitting days left until MLAs return to their constituencies for the summer,” said Horgan. “Some of the legislation coming before the house is extremely contentious and clearly not well thought out. The Liberals can’t keep up with their own legislation, and haven’t allowed time for proper consultation.”

    “My generation, which is currently leading the province in political and other ways, benefited enormously, he said, from solid government programs in education and social and medical services. What has happened in the past number of years has made it harder for the generation behind us. Higher tuition fees. Less access. Less opportunity, he added. The people who have benefited from the development of excellent institutions have to some degree shut the doors behind us. Our generation hasn’t done as well as the previous. But it’s not over yet.”

    “There is no disputing that our planet’s climate is changing rapidly, due to excessive production of carbon worldwide. The reality is this issue isn’t going to go away. Action will be required, from us and from all industrialized countries. Delaying action will only serve to make it more difficult to make the changes needed down the road. I believe when we form the next government we must act quickly and decisively to tackle this problem.” Brian Topp

    Canada has pulled out of the world's only binding climate treaty. Just the thought of it makes me feel sick..... “The decision to leave Kyoto behind destabilizes the promise of action on the climate crisis. This is a further signal that the Harper government is more concerned about protecting polluters than people.” Mike Hudema of Greenpeace Canada said in a statement.

    "At this time last year, Christy Clark was still officially a radio host. Collecting a premier’s salary without any of the headaches, life was grand. When callers to her show annoyed her, she simply cut them off. Her problems were solved with the click of a button. If only it were that easy today in her role as B.C. Premier."

    To the Editor, The ownership of Babe’s Honey Farm has finally changed. The community of rural Saanich feels the loss of a once iconic working bee farm. Just a glimpse of this now wasteland brings sadness to many of us. Many of our Saanich community members and beyond, knew the first owners of Babe’s Honey, Charlie and Babe Warren. They have gone down in our history books as Saanich’s honey farmers. The second owner of Babes Honey farm has gone down in infamy for destroying our beloved farm in Saanich. The demise of Babe’s honey farm leaves most of us questioning the outcome. We are in disbelief that this turn of events could not have been stopped. Many community members believe that this outcome came due to a failure at every level of Government, including Saanich. This past week a new owner has been announced after a receivership sale. It is my understanding and my sincere hope that with new ownership comes the responsibility for remediation that would be a requirement of the Agricultural Land Commission. Full remediation means rehabilitating this land back to its original state. This would mean the removal of approximately 60,000 cubic meters of construction fill, and more extensive soil testing. This land must be returned to its original soil classification of Class 3 or better. It is the desire of our community to see this situation fully rectified. I am hopeful that the new owner wants the same outcome. It is my expectation that the Mayor of Saanich accepts nothing less for the community he represents. And it is my hope that the Agricultural Land Commission commits to enforcing its order to remediate. As MLA of Saanich South and as a community member who adored Babes Honey farm, I will continue to work to see Babes Honey farm restored back to its full agricultural potential. We may have lost a part of our agricultural history, but we have the opportunity to change this story for the future. Lana Popham MLA Saanich South

    Politics is a tough business, and sometimes it doesn't quite work out despite great efforts. But, when you are standing with incredible people who are trying to get the job done, the harshness of defeat is softened.
