Vancouver Aboriginal Community Policing Centre

[pararennial-archived]

Hi all,

I do not know how many of my mutuals reside in British Columbia, but it is vital that you speak up to the Vancouver City Council to defund the Vancouver Police Department and encourage them to fund organizations that help marginalized communities such as:

Hogan's Alley Society

Black Lives Matter Vancouver

Vancouver Aboriginal Transformative Justice Services Society

Battered Women’s Support Services

WISH Drop-In Centre Society

Carnegie Community Action Project

Here is a google doc with a template that residents of Vancouver/Lower Mainland can send to the city council members.

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1dlqh7d0stNdAd1vICnCBFymT8k4uLhGHsesNsh9pJGw/mobilebasic

It could help to spread this around, too!

'No celebrations': Indigenous communities, leaders share Canada Day frustrations

VANCOUVER — Jess Housty can't remember the last time Canada Day was celebrated in the Heiltsuk Nation.

Housty lives in the coastal B.C. town of Bella Bella where the Heiltsuk Nation is known for its efforts to help conserve and protect the Great Bear Rainforest.

"I can recall a lot of celebrations here, we're a community that loves to come together and celebrate things but Canada Day is not one of those things I remember bringing the community together," she said in an interview.

Canada Day comes this year as Indigenous Peoples absorb reports of confrontations between the police and Aboriginal people, as well as accusations of systemic racism in British Columbia's health-care system.

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the director of the University of British Columbia's Residential School History and Dialogue Centre, has been appointed by the provincial government to investigate accusations that some B.C. emergency room staff played a game to guess the blood-alcohol levels of Indigenous patients.

She said Celebrations like Canada Day, Victoria Day and St-Jean-Baptiste Day are symbols of colonialism.

Canada Day also comes after recent anti-pipeline protests by First Nations and the Black Lives Matter movement, which adds to the complexity of the national celebration, she said.

"This is a Canada Day like no other Canada Day for some time," said Turpel-Lafond, who is also a law professor at the university.

"Are we the just, rights-respecting society we think we are and we need to be?"

A recent poll of 1,000 people commissioned by Historica Canada found that Canadians have a lot to learn about the historical and cultural contributions of Indigenous Peoples and other Black, Asian and minority ethnic Canadians.

Fewer than six per cent recognized figures such as Indigenous filmmakers and human rights activists, or the first RCMP officer to wear a turban.

Byron Louis, the chief of the Okanagan Indian Band, says he can't remember the last time Canada Day was formally celebrated in his community.

"It's a stat holiday so we'll take it, other than that there is no celebration in our community," he said. "What exactly is there to celebrate?"

Louis said there has been an erosion of the relationship between the Canadian government and Indigenous Peoples, which makes it difficult to join in the celebration.

"When you look at the last 110 years of our relationship, it was nowhere near what our relationship was when we first established contact," he said.

Wade Grant, an intergovernmental officer with the Musqueam Indian Band, said he would like to see a greater emphasis placed on days that honour Indigenous Peoples.

"We have Canada Day parades, we have Canada Day celebrations downtown. On National Indigenous Day we don't have cities or municipalities holding parades or holding events where concerts are played to celebrate Indigenous people," he said in an interview.

Grant said he understands the aspirational aspect of Canada Day, but as someone of mixed heritage whose grandfather was forced to pay the Chinese head tax, he would like to see more discussion of what other races have experienced in Canada.

Chief Judith Wilson of the Neskonlith Indian Band said she views Canada Day as a chance to better educate others, explaining how she helped organize a skit depicting the writing of a letter in 1910 from Indigenous chiefs to Canada's seventh prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

The scene recreated the chiefs of the Secwepemc, Syilx and Nlaka'pamux peoples relaying grievances over their treatment by the federal government. Wilson presented the scene during Canada Day celebrations in Chase, B.C., to show the public the issues Indigenous people have faced.

Housty said she would also like to see a greater recognition of what Indigenous communities are facing.

"I don't think we can say everyone in Canada has grappled with the reality of what systemic racism is in this country," she said. "The fact that it isn't historical, it's something that is alive and present and a lived reality for people around us."

This report was first published by the Canadian Press on June 30, 2020.

Does BC Premier Christy Clark have a sketchy reputation?

The Victoria Times-Colonist's editorial board recently suggested Clark's "ethical standards" do not reflect "the values British Columbians should expect from political parties."

Meanwhile, the Globe and Mail's editorial board said Clark's BC Liberal government is "addicted to money" and added that "the perception that corporate money is influencing government decisions is impossible to avoid."

From sketchy donations to dodgy expenses to unethical conduct to straight-up scandals, here are 41 times Clark's BC Liberal government showed that after all these years in power, they might not have a lot of integrity:

1) Alleging her rivals hacked her party's website with no evidence

Without any evidence whatsoever, Clark claimed the opposition NDP had launched a cyber attack against the BC Liberal website. While that might sound like the dictionary definition of "lying" to you, Clark later clarified she had merely "jumped to conclusions."

2) Making tens of thousands with disabilities pay $579 more for bus passes

Showing their compassionate side, the Clark government clawed back discounted bus passes for 55,000 disabled British Columbians – a group already more likely to face unemployment and poverty.

3) Picking an ex-Fraser Institute director to implement BC's climate change plan

Nothing screams serious about climate change like tapping a former director from a right-wing think tank that doubts the science behind climate change, right?

4) Getting her climate change ripped apart by her own experts

Late on a Friday afternoon in August, the Premier quietly released her so-called "climate leadership plan" – a plan so ineffective at dealing with climate change it was dismissed by one expert as "pathetic and cowardly".

5) Getting lobbied more than 10,000 times by her own oil and gas donors

An investigation by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives identified nearly ten thousand contacts between officials at BC government ministries and agencies between 2010 and 2016.

6) Skipping an important vote on transgender rights to attend a partisan fundraiser

Of course Clark somehow found time to go to the photo op.

7) All the donations from other provinces

If all the donations from oil lobbyists wasn't bad enough, it turns out only a small percentage even comes from BC in the first place – most comes from companies headquartered next door in Alberta.

8) All the donations from other countries

It's illegal most places in Canada, but not in Christy Clark's BC – a recent investigation by the Globe and Mail showed Clark's BC Liberals are taking "cash from offshore oil and gas companies, European pharmaceutical companies and Beijing investment firms."

9) All the donors getting public sector contracts

As of October 2016, three-quarters of companies awarded with plumb, sole-sourced contracts by Clark's government are also Liberal party donors. But that's just a coincidence, surely?

10) Selling public land to BC Liberal donors for a cheap price

Of course that actually happened too.

11) Spending millions on partisan ads

Spending $15 million on cynical partisan ads while cutting public services and asking everyone to tighten their belts?

12) Hiring a staffer facing criminal charges

In 2013, the BC Liberals hired former Ontario Liberal staffer Laura Miller as its Executive Director. Not long after, Miller was charged with breach of trust, mischief and misuse of a computer system to commit mischief alongside Dalton McGuinty’s former chief of staff David Livingston.

13) Rehiring the same staffer facing criminal charges

Despite briefly stepping out of the picture, Miller was subsequently rehired as the BC Liberal Party Executive Director. She has since been appointed the party's campaign chief.  

14) Spending more than $500,000 on private flights

Why take a commercial flight when a private one will do?

15) Billing taxpayers for a private flight to a fundraising dinner

In April 2016, Clark billed the public $6,054 for a Learjet to fly to Prince George. The reason? A photo op and a visit to the BC Liberals' annual northern fundraising dinner.

16) Triple-deleting all those emails

Back in 2015, BC's Information Commissioner found that the practice of triple deleting e-mails – shielding the government from Freedom of Information requests – was a "routine practice" among Clark government staffers.

17) Billing taxpayers $3,000 for dinner

Oysters: $3,267.66.

18) Leaking a "secret strategy document"

The BC Liberals claimed they obtained the NDP's "secret strategy document" which actually turned out to be a Microsoft Word document highlighting the party's plan to boost living standards for working and middle class families as fight climate change – very sinister sounding stuff!

19) Taking salary top ups from the BC Liberal Party

Clark is already earns a six figure salary as the Premier of BC. So a lot of people were surprised to learn Clark was also paid between $30,000 and $50,000 each year by her own party for fundraising work.

20) Yogagate

In one of BC's weirdest scandals, Clark's government decided to celebrate International Yoga Day instead of National Aboriginal Day and shut down a major Vancouver bridge at a cost of $150,000 for a yoga event.

21) Spending nearly $1 million on government photos

It turns out all those smiling photos of Christy Clark and her cabinet ministers don't come cheap!

22) That time a Liberal MLA claimed the LGBT community is 'dominating' Christians

During debate on Bill 27, legislation to add "gender identity or expression" to the human rights code BC Liberal MLA Laurie Throness argued that recognizing gender identity as a human right is akin to discrimination against those whose views on gender are "rooted in Christian faith." Seriously.

23) Sending a staffer to spy on an NDP meeting with youth

Well, that's pretty desperate.

24) Insulting whistle-blowers

When a former staffer blew the whistle on the "widespread" and "most likely systemic" destruction of e-mail records by Clark's government to avoid FOI requests, Clark's government responded by painting him as a bad employee.

25) Spending $1 million to upgrade the church Clark goes to  

The BC government gave a downtown Vancouver church a massive upgrade worth $1 million. By some coincidence, it also happened to be the same one Clark says she regularly attends.

26) Promoting a company Clark once chaired

According to leaked documents, Clark once served as chairwoman of a company she has regularly touted on official government business since becoming Premier.

27) Allegedly interfering in a local election to help her brother

After announcing a $150,000 community grant, Clark faced accusation she was helping a candidate in a local band election who supported her brother's $10 million wind farm project.

28) Not telling the truth about BC's job creation numbers

In 2012, Clark claimed BC was number one in job creation. That was not true.

29) Getting investigated by Elections BC over donations from lobbyists

Last week, Elections BC announced it had launched an investigation into reports that some lobbyists may have had their personal donations to the BC Liberal party reimbursed by third parties.

30) Also,  getting investigated by the RCMP for those same reimbursements

Only five days after Elections BC announced its investigation, the RCMP announced its Sensitive Investigations Unit – a unit often tasked with fighting organized crime – is now looking into the alleged "cleansing" of political donations.

31) Giving a $39 million mortgage to a condo developer

Why did BC Housing lend $39 million to the developer of condo project that had nothing to do with social housing?

32) Releasing a jobs ad full of false claims

The ad's claims completely fell apart.

33) Declaring victory after losing a Supreme Court battle to avoid investing in schools

The Supreme Court dealt a monumental defeat to Clark and her government ending their 14 year battle with BC's teachers. But despite having fought against the teachers and their demands in court, the Premier suddenly started singing the praises of the court-ordered investments as if they were her own idea.

34) Apologizing to "ethnic" voters

Widespread outrage followed a leaked document showed the Clark government planned to apologize for historic injustices as a "quick win" designed to "improve our chances of winning swing ridings by better engaging supporters from ethnic communities."

35) Mysteriously firing health researchers

Eight researchers and contractors at the BC Ministry of Health were unceremoniously fired in 2012. The government claims they breached the privacy of patient files and the police are investigating. The dismissed researchers suggest the real reason they were fired had to do with the influence of phramaceutical companies, who also happen to be big BC Liberal donors. In the mean time, the researchers are unable to work and one commits suicide.

It later turns out there's a problem with the BC government's claims about a police investigation – the investigation never actually existed.

36) Making stuff up about the government's record  

During a 2013 radio interview, Clark made a series of claims about her government's record on deficits, debt, and the province's credit rating. None of Clark's claims were true.

37) Getting sued because of partisan advertising

The Clark government's partisan ads are so over-the-top, two Vancouver criminal lawyers are now suing the government of BC in an attempt to stop the government's pre-election advertising.

38) Universities hiring Liberal lobbyists to lobby the BC Liberal government

In 2009, Kwantlen Polytechnic University spent $177,000 to hire a Liberal insider to lobby provincial cabinet ministers and MLAs. At the time Amrik Virk, who was then the minister of technology, innovation and citizen's services, also sat on KPU's board.

39) Approving a polluted-soil dump upstream from 12,000 people  

Heavy metals, petroleum, and nitrite contaminated soil and groundwater relied upon by a Vancouver Island community of 12,000 residents.

40) Taking millions from developers

In 2016 most of the BC Liberal Party's top donors came from either developers or the construction industry. Just eight donors contributed nearly $1.5 million of the $12.5 million total collected by the Liberals that year. Maybe that has something to do with Clark's awful record on housing affordability?

41) All those cash-for-access scandals

Can't forget all those BC Liberal donors who are also doing business with the BC government.

As the Globe and Mail's editorial board recently described this "world-class conflict-of-interest":

It's "a situation where companies seeking government contracts, approvals or tax breaks can give unlimited sums of money to the governing party. Lobbyists in the province have told The Globe and Mail they feel they need to donate, or their entreaties on behalf of their clients will be ignored."

Mind you, most of this stuff wouldn't fly in virtually any other Canadian province – only in Christy Clark's British Columbia.

Reminder: The BC election is on May 9th, 2017. Please vote.

Maxwell Johnson thought his appointment at the Bank of Montreal would be regular.

He's been a customer since 2014 and wanted to open an account for his 12-year-old granddaughter so he could give funds to her electronically when she was on the road for basketball games.

But at the Dec. 20 meeting at BMO's Burrard Street location in downtown Vancouver, an employee questioned the identification he and his granddaughter presented.

"She said the numbers didn't match up what she had on her computer," Johnson said from his home in Bella Bella, a Heiltsuk community located on B.C's Central Coast.

Johnson, 56, and his granddaughter were using government-issued Indian Status cards, his birth certificate and her medical card. He said the employee became suspicious and went upstairs with their cards.

He believes the employee might have been suspicious because he had $30,000 in his account — an amount he and every other member of the Heiltsuk nation received in December from the federal government as part of an Aboriginal rights settlement package.

He says the employee then told them to come upstairs to retrieve their identification. Not long after, they saw police walking toward them.

"They came over and grabbed me and my granddaughter, took us to a police vehicle and handcuffed both of us, told us we were being detained and read us our rights," Johnson said.

Johnson says when he saw his granddaughter in handcuffs, crying, he was heartbroken.

"You can see how scared she was … It was really hard to see that," he said.

Johnson says he believes he was racially profiled.  

The Vancouver Police Department confirmed Johnson's account of what happened. Spokesperson Sgt. Aaron Roed said VPD officers detained them after claims from BMO that he and his granddaughter were committing a "possible scam" that was in progress and identified the two as suspects.

"It was discovered that there was no criminal activity and no false transactions," the spokesperson said. Both were released within the hour and, according to Johnson the officers apologized.

Roed said whether to put a person in handcuffs is up to the research officer.

In a phone interview, Roed told the CBC," it is a pitiful situation, and we don't want anybody to have to go through anything like this."

Roed said the officers that handcuffed the pair had taken cultural understanding training.

BMO did not answer questions, but on Tuesday it sent a statement to CBC saying it was mistake to call the police.

"Although there were some lessening things, they do not excuse the way in which we handled the situation," the bank said to CBC News.

A BMO representative said "lessening things" would include not having proper identification and added that the employee's actions have "been inscribed."

On Thursday, BMO sent the CBC another statement apologizing to the public and Indigenous communities.

"We value our long and special relationship with Indigenous communities. Lately, an event happened that does not reflect us at our best. We deeply regret this and definitely apologize to all. We are examining what happened, how it was handled and will use this as a chance. We understand the importance and seriousness of this situation at the highest levels of the bank."

It also posted the statement to social media.

Johnson suffers from a panic dysfunction and says since the event he has experienced critical strain, has a fear of police and doesn't trust banks.

He is speaking to a lawyer about how to advance with a human rights case.

"If I have to go to court to make this right, not only for myself but for every First Nations person that's been unfairly treated by a bank or a big store or something like that, I will," Johnson said.

Experts say what happened to Johnson is part of what they call a rise in "commercial racism."

"The pattern tends to be that when you see a person of colour, the person is treated rather with a lack of respect, a lack of professional service… and automatic presumption of guilt and criminal activity," said Fo Niemi, executive director of the Centre for Research-Action on Race Relations in Montreal.

He said in most human rights cases involving banks, there is an out-of-court settlement.

Carly Teillet, a lawyer with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, says the event  was a big failure by both the bank and police that she hopes sparks change.

"I just can't imagine a situation where a 12-year-old girl trying to open a bank account needs to be handcuffed and is escorted out of a building," Teillet said.

"It doesn't promote trust between Indigenous people and Canadian institutions. I really hope that the folks that are involved use this event as a chance."

The National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations meantime said in a tweet the AFN is demanding answers from the bank.

"The AFN has reached out to @BMO  to express our deep disappointment and the need to set better standards for their workers. I strongly encourage @BMO  to publicly state what they plan to do to discuss this to warrant it doesn't happen again," the tweet from national Chief Perry Bellegarde read.

The B.C. AFN Regional Chief, Terry Teegee, told the CBC that the AFN is pushing for training for the bank representatives that decided to call the police on the 12-year-old girl and the grandfather.

"I think the bank, BMO, should be ashamed of themselves," said Teegee.

He also said he hopes the Bank of Montreal also provides training to all its representatives to further educate them about bias and Indigenous communities.
