Pavel Borodin is in hospital with a heart attack Pavel Borodin, former Kremlin property manager and current state secretary of the Russia-Belarus union, was rushed to a civilian hospital from the New York jail where he has been kept. "Borodin has been hospitalized suffering from a possible heart attack," journalists were told at Borodin's office. However, medics have yet not confirmed the preliminary diagnosis. "Borodin's lawyers were not notified about the hospitalisation of the state secretary for two hours," his aides said. Earlier Borodin said that he was feeling increasingly worse and complained about his blood pressure and heart, Interfax reports. He said that on Saturday he had spent "two hours under an oxygen mask" and stayed in bed for the past two days.

Payday, instalment loans on the rise in Canada due to pandemic: report The pandemic has resulted in more Canadians seeking high-interest loans, a new survey has found, and advocates are calling on the feds to lower the maximum interest that lenders can charge. ACORN Canada, a community group that advocates for low- and moderate-income Canadians, conducted the survey among its membership. Of the 439 people who took the survey between November 2021 and January 2022, 113 said they took a high-cost loan, such as a payday loan or an instalment loan, due to COVID-19. Among these respondents, a quarter said they've had to take out a high-interest loan 10 or more times since the start of pandemic. More than half also said they first applied for a loan at a traditional bank or credit union but were denied. In addition, 83 per cent said they needed the loans to meet everyday expenses. "When people have to take out the loans for basic expenses such as rent, groceries, phone, internet… that's kind of alarming," Peter Jongeneelen, a spokesperson for ACORN in New Brunswick, told CTVNews.ca on Tuesday in a phone interview. Instalment loans are generally offered to borrowers with interest rates between 30 to 60 per cent and meant to be paid back within a fixed period of time. Payday loans are typically $1,500 or less for a period of 62 days or fewer and can have interest rates has high as 548 per cent, depending on the province. These loans are offered by alternative lenders and are typically sought out by individuals who may not be able to access loans from traditional banks and credit unions due to poor credit, low income or a combination of both. "They just don't qualify (for credit at banks) because their credit score is not good enough," Jongeneelen said. "They're forced to try and do whatever they can to keep a roof over their head, keep food on the table." Suzette Mafuna was one of the ACORN members who took out an instalment loan. Mafuna relies on Old Age Security and went back to university in 2019 so she could find a good job and achieve financial independence. With rent, phone bills, debt and other expenses piling up, she took out an instalment loan in the early months of the pandemic to help her pay for school expenses. But with fees and interest, she now owes an additional $8,000 on top of her $6,000 principal. "Nobody understands what it's like to be an average Canadian or struggling to make ends meet. These guys that are sitting in these offices are all rich. They've never lived our lives. It's all about money," she told CTVNews.ca on Monday over the phone. The winding down of government COVID-19 supports such as CERB was cited as one of the reasons lower-income Canadians turned to high-interest loans. More than half of the respondents reported that their financial situation worsened because of the pandemic and continued need for financial support. "CERB was great and changes that were made to EI were great. But then, they ended. Things like the lockout benefit, the caregiver benefit -- they were somewhat inadequate. We're still in the pandemic," Jongeneelen said, adding that Canada lost 200,000 jobs in January 2022 after the Omicron variant emerged, according to Statistics Canada. CRIMINAL INTEREST RATE SHOULD BE LOWERED: REPORT The Criminal Code of Canada bans lenders from setting annual interest rates higher than 60 per cent. ACORN says the federal government should lower the criminal interest rate to 30 per cent. But under section 347.1 of the Criminal Code, payday loans are exempt from the maximum interest restrictions as long as provinces bring in their own regulation. In Ontario, B.C., Alberta, New Brunswick and P.E.I., payday lenders can charge a maximum of $15 per $100 loaned in a two-week period. That's equivalent to an annual interest rate of 391 per cent. In Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the maximum charge is $17 per $100, or 443 per cent annually. Nova Scotia allows payday lenders to charge $19 per $100 (495 per cent annually) while lenders in Newfoundland and Labrador can charge $21 per $100 (548 per cent annually). Quebec is the only province to have effectively banned payday loans. Interest rates for all loans in the province are capped at 35 per cent. ACORN is also calling for the federal government to follow Quebec's lead and repeal the section 347.1 exemption for payday loans. During last year's federal election, the Liberals pledged to "crack down on predatory lenders by lowering the criminal rate of interest." This commitment was also identified as one of the priorities in Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's mandate letter in December 2021. Adrienne Vaupshas, press secretary for Freeland's office, told CTVNews.ca in an email statement that the federal government will be starting consultations on lowering the criminal rate of interest soon, with further details to be "made available in due course." "Too many lower and modest-income Canadians are forced to rely on high-interest short-term loans to make ends meet, leaving them in a cycle of debt. The government is committed to cracking down on predatory lenders by lowering the criminal rate of interest," she said. But the Canadian Consumer Finance Association (CCFA), the industry group representing financial institutions that provide payday and instalment loans, says these changes could end up hurting low-income Canadians who otherwise wouldn't have access to any credit from traditional financial institutions. The CCFA argues this could push borrowers from seeking loans from illegal, unlicensed lenders. "Instalment loans are expensive to provide and often high-risk. The credit score of the borrower is an important factor in determining the interest rate charged on an instalment loan and in fact, many applicants do not qualify for a loan because of their credit profile," the group said in an email statement to CTVNews.ca on Monday. "Any reduction to the federal maximum interest rate will result in removal of access to credit for those Canadians with lower credit scores who previously qualified at the current rate." ACORN is also calling for the federal government to make traditional banking more accessible. The suggestions include lowering the non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee for withdrawals from $45 to $10 and getting the federal government to guarantee bank loans for low- and moderate-income Canadians. ACORN also suggests introducing a postal banking system, where the postal service would operate a publicly-owned bank for those who don't have access to banks. "It's upsetting that the banks don't seem to have anything that's a priority for those people have low- and moderate-income who need some sort of emergency loans," Jongeneelen said. "The government needs to act on this sooner rather than later."

People are at a breaking point Frustration. Hostility. Anger. Rage. Fear. There are a lot of negative emotions going around these days. People are really at each other’s throats. While it’s not something we can quantify, we hear about it anecdotally. People are short-fused — they’re more inclined to yell at each other for no good reason. Social media is just a mess of anger and accusations. It’s not nice. It’s not sustainable. We have to do better. Then again, it’s not a huge surprise. Ontario and Quebec have been plunged into lockdown once again. Other provinces have enacted new restrictions. Schooling for kids is disrupted everywhere. Opinions are diverging. There are those who remain extremely fearful about contracting the omicron variant. Then there are those who just don’t care anymore. It does seem that opinion is shifting towards the majority now being against lockdowns and over-the-top measures. People feel betrayed. They feel they’ve been had. They got their two doses of vaccines and thought that would be the end of it. That’s what the political leaders and health officials told them. Get the vaccine and then get back to normal?! So much for that! People have had the activities they love taken away from them. They’ve been told to keep away from friends and family. There are even stories of people no longer speaking due to split opinions on the pandemic. It’s all so sad. Now that omicron is proven to be less severe, officials need to end these unjustified lockdowns immediately. That would go a long way to calming things down. We appreciate that hospital capacity issues are a concern. But there are people paid to deal with those concerns. So just get the job done. In the meantime, Canadians are left to muddle through these challenges. We must try our best to be extra kind and understanding. Human beings can only bend so far until they snap. And that is tragically happening to quite a few people. People are going to be jerks to us — but remember they are also going through a lot. Let’s try our best to be kind understanding Also, the politicians must be kind. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s vilification of people who remain unvaccinated stokes anger and lacks class. —Postmedia Network

People were sure it was from a sci-fi/horror film called Neon Maniacs. Others swore it had to be from an undiscovered UC Berkeley art film. Even film historians had no idea. As it turns out, it's none of the above — and it's not really from a film, either. According to KTVU, the beguiling photo, which depicts a terrified young woman running from a masked alien-like figure on a train platform, has been identified as a promotional photo for "The Great Air Robbery," which was a play organized by the San Francisco Mime Troupe in Aug. 1974. The buzz around the photo caught the attention of a stage manager from the San Francisco Mime Troupe. Her predictions were soon confirmed. According to a playbill retrieved from the troupe's website, act III of the dystopian play was set in the 24th Street Mission BART station. "The Great Air Robbery was a kind of dystopic film noir, where pollution had gotten so bad that people were struggling to breathe," San Francisco playwright Michael Sullivan told KTVU. "So corporations had figured a way to commoditize fresh air." The mystery has been solved! A @KTVU appeal for information led to the discovery that the mysterious photo is in fact not from a movie but was instead taken to promote a show by The San Francisco Mime Troupe (@SFTroupers) in 1974. In 2016, pop culture historian Cary O' Dell posted the photo to The Library of Congress' mystery images blog. At first, O'Dell thought the photo might have been shot in a Parisian subway. BART spokesperson Alicia Trost told Curbed SF on Mar. 13 that BART was "sure it's either 16th or 24th street," but that efforts to track down the image's specifics had almost everybody stumped. "I love that this something very San Francisco, that they went into our Mission Street station," Trost told KTVU. "They got this amazing photo and that decades later people were still wondering what's behind it. And you figured it out." Wondering what else was filmed in San Francisco?

People with certain health conditions that make them moderately or severely immunocompromised may get a fourth mRNA COVID-19 shot, according to updated guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC authorized a third dose for certain immunocompromised people 18 and older in August. It said a third dose, rather than a booster -- the CDC makes a distinction between the two -- was necessary because the immunocompromised may not have had a complete immune response from the first two doses. A study from Johns Hopkins University this summer showed that vaccinated immunocompromised people were 485 times more likely to end up in the hospital or die from COVID-19 compared to most vaccinated people. In small studies, the CDC said, fully vaccinated immunocompromised people accounted for about 44 per cent of the breakthrough cases that required hospitalization. People who are immunocompromised are also more likely to transmit the virus to people who had close contact with them. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also authorized booster shots of all three available vaccines for certain people and that would include the immune compromised, the CDC says. Research showed that a booster dose enhanced the antibody response to the vaccine in certain immunocompromised people. That would make for a fourth shot at least six months after completing the third mRNA vaccine dose. At this time, the CDC does not have a recommendation about the fourth shot. People should talk to their doctors to determine if it is necessary, the CDC says. Moderately to severely immunocompromised people include those who are in active cancer treatment for cancers of the blood or for tumours, certain organ transplant and stem cell recipients, people with advanced or untreated HIV, and those who take a high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress their immune systems. The CDC estimates about 9 million people who live in the U.S., or about 2 per cent of the population, fall into this category. People who are immunocompromised who got the single-dose Johnson & Johnson shot should get a booster at least two months after their initial vaccine. People who choose a Moderna vaccine as a booster, even if they received a different vaccine as the first dose, should get the half-dose sized shot that was authorized as a booster for Moderna's vaccine, the CDC said. Even if they are vaccinated, the CDC recommends people with conditions that compromise their immune systems should still try to avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, and should wear a mask in indoor public spaces.

Pep Guardiola doesn’t forget. After two-time defending champion Manchester City failed to cut into Liverpool’s 22-point lead by losing 2-0 at Tottenham on Sunday, Guardiola’s mind turned back to 2018 and irritation at comments from the English Premier League leadership. Guardiola’s team winning the league by 19 points prompted Richard Scudamore to express a desire for “someone to get a little bit closer to Manchester City” while also praising the team’s excellence. Scudamore is no longer running the league. Guardiola wonders if the competition bosses are fine with a lead so commanding that Liverpool is in line to seal the title in March with two months of the season remaining. “An owner from the Premier League said that cannot happen again, so it’s not good for the Premier League (that) City win the title in that way with 100 points,” Guardiola said. “So now it’s Liverpool you have to be concerned, the owner of the Premier League.” It is City’s six losses in 25 league games this season that have thwarted the quest for a third straight title and put Liverpool on a clear path to ending a 30-year championship drought. Outplaying and outshooting Tottenham counted for little after second-place City was reduced to 10 men on the hour when Oleksandr Zinchenko’s push on Harry Winks to halt a counterattack saw the midfielder shown a second yellow card. Within three minutes, Tottenham was in front with a goal from Steven Bergwijn in his debut. The recruit from PSV Eindhoven brought down a pass from Lucas Moura with his chest before taking a touch to control the ball and volleying into the net. “I saw the ball go in and I almost cried,” Bergwijn said. “When the ball left my feet, I had a feeling it was going in … and the guys jumped on me.” Tottenham’s record-signing Tanguy Ndombele created the second for Son Heung-min, who struck past goalkeeper Ederson in the 71st minute. Victory for Tottenham lifted Jose Mourinho’s side four points shy of Chelsea in fourth place in the Champions League place. • Barcelona’s teenage sensation Ansu Fati set another scoring record when he became the youngest player to get two goals in a Spanish league game. Fati, 17, struck from passes by Lionel Messi to help Barcelona beat Levante 2-1, keeping the defending champion three points shy of leader Real Madrid. Skiing: Alexis Pinturault became the first skier this season to win two men’s World Cup giant slaloms, triumphing on the Kandahar 2 course at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, to end a series of disappointing results in his strongest discipline. The Frenchman won the season opener in October but placed 17th, eighth and 10th, respectively, in the next three GS events. On Sunday, he was 0.18 of a second off the lead in fourth before posting the third-fastest time in the second run and beat first-run leader Loic Meillard by 0.16.

Philadelphia, Pa. – More than 200 supporters of former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal protested outside a federal appeals court Thursday as lawyers challenged his 1982 conviction for the killing of a police officer. Abu-Jamal has built a global following from prison through his politically – charged writings and recorded speeches. Actors, writers, death-penalty opponents and activists have rallied behind his claim of innocence over the years. At the courthouse Thursday, May 17, Marcus Shell, 35, said Abu-Jamal didn't get a fair trial because of who he was – "a former Black Panther, the voice of the voiceless." "Mumia represents a lot of Blacks locked up in prison today," Shell said. Abu-Jamal, 53, a former radio reporter, was convicted of shooting police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Faulkner had pulled over Abu-Jamal's brother in a traffic stop when Abu-Jamal, according to witnesses, ran to the scene from his taxi and shot the 26-year-old officer repeatedly. Abu-Jamal was shot once, apparently by the downed patrolman. A federal judge in 2001 threw out his death sentence, citing improper jury instructions, but upheld Abu-Jamal's conviction. Both sides are appealing. Abu-Jamal's lawyer Robert R. Bryan planned to argue that prosecutors improperly rejected a large number of potential Black jurors and that the trial judge was racially biased. Philadelphia prosecutors say the evidence against Abu-Jamal is overwhelming. They will ask the appeals panel to reinstate the death sentence. --The Associated Press

Planning Board rejects stormwater management plan The Marco Island Planning Board was divided on an illicit discharge stormwater management ordinance during its meeting Friday, with an ultimate tied vote of 3-3 that prevented the ordinance from passing. In 2015 the city created a stormwater management program that had to adhere to a set of state-mandated requirements. Those requirements must be met within five years; should the city fail to meet them within that time frame, it will be subject to fines from the state. One of the requirements is to implement an illicit discharge ordinance, which Public Works Director Tim Pinter presented to the board Friday. Pinter began his presentation with an overview of the city's stormwater management program, and noted that the ordinance he was about to share with the board members should have been implemented when the program began back in 2015. "This needed to be created in year one and we're in year three," he said. "So obviously you can see from doing the math, I'm two years behind schedule with this, and if we continue getting (further behind), I'm really going to have some problems with getting this thing completed ... by the end of the five years." Pinter explained that the ordinance, which aims to prevent illicit discharge from entering the city's canals or swales, would apply to all residential properties on the island. "Any building permit on the island is going to have to come through and submit ... a drainage study and a drainage plan...that shows any illicit draining from the property doesn't automatically go into the canals or swales without being treated," he said. He also said Marco Island is the only entity is in the county that does not already have an illicit discharge ordinance in place. Vice-Chair Ed Issler had some concerns about the ordinance, the biggest being that it tries to tackle too many issues at once. "This (ordinance) .. .is really complicated," he said. "There's so many issues in this ... that I think it's more dressing than meat," he said, borrowing an analogy Pinter had used earlier in the meeting. Board member Ron Goldstein was also concerned that the ordinance doesn't tackle the right issues, namely the island's failing swales. "I just don't think it achieves what we need it to achieve," he said. Pinter reiterated that the purpose of the ordinance is to prevent illicit discharge, not fix the swales. He also urged the board members to keep in mind that the ordinance is simply one small part of the city's overall stormwater management program. "The big picture is the stormwater management plan island-wide," he said. "With 19 inches of rain at the beginning of June, every drainage system on the island was overcapacity by 3000 percent (and) we couldn't do anything about it." He also explained that as of right now, his staff doesn't have the ability to do the kind of swale maintenance that Goldstein said he would like to see. "There's 120 miles of roadway on Marco Island which means that there's (roughly) 240 miles of swales with a staff of four and one piece of equipment makes it a little hard to go out and do swale maintenance on a daily basis," Pinter said. Chair Erik Brechnitz chimed in with another concern: how much it will cost homeowners to come into compliance with the ordinance. "This is a typical example of a regulation that will not accomplish a whole lot but will be a tremendous cost to the people," he said. Board member Joe Rola agreed and also noted that it would be difficult to track illicit discharges entering the city's water system and subsequently figure out who was responsible for them. The board members mentioned other issues with the ordinance, including the broad definition of the term illicit discharge, the $250/day fine for violators and the requirement that current homes be retrofitted with illicit discharge drainage systems. The motion to approve the ordinance failed with a tied vote of 3-3. Planning Board's next meeting is 9 a.m. July 21 in the city council's chambers, 51 Bald Eagle Drive.

Pleasantville: Police pinpoint suspects in Linda Misek-Falkoff slaying Linda Misek-Falkoff was found stabbed to death in her Grandview Avenue home on Oct. 30, 2014. Police say they have pinpointed a pair of suspects in last year's stabbing death of a 76-year-old Pleasantville woman. Linda Misek-Falkoff was found dead in her Grandview Avenue home on Oct. 30, 2014, after an apparent burglary, Westchester County police Lt. Jeff Hunt said on Thursday. Hunt said police have spoken to one of the suspects and are trying to interview the other, but that no arrests are imminent. Hunt discussed the latest developments in the case a day after officials pleaded with the public to help crack another unsolved murder mystery, that of Tom Dorr, a Pleasantville firefighter who was slashed to death nearly two decades ago. Misek-Falkoff was found dead in her home after a letter carrier noticed mail piling up and alerted authorities. Police believe the retired IBM systems engineer had been stabbed several days earlier. "We believe the initial incident was a burglary of the residence," Hunt said. "The case is focusing on some DNA evidence which is very pertinent to the case." Several items may have been taken from the house, he said, but the investigation was hampered by the clutter inside. "She was known as a hoarder," Hunt said. Hunt would not comment further on the DNA evidence, but said there are at least two male suspects, both of whom are suspects in at least one other burglary in the area. One of the men, who may have met Misek-Falkoff once before, is still in the area and has been contacted by police. Investigators are working on speaking to the other man, a heroin dealer who is no longer in New York, Hunt said. New York State Crime Stoppers is offering up to $2,500 for information leading to a conviction in the case. Tips can be called in at 1-866-313-8477. Twitter: @MattSpillane

Plenty of good news in Saskatchewan from new schools to economic growth and a new stadium in Regina Article content Marty Seymour, CEO, Canadian Western Agribition, writes: Despite what is said in the media, things are not going to hell in a handbasket. Here’s what I see: Health care: Every hospital and walk-in clinic visit I’ve had with my family has been without incident for as long as I can recall. Add to that $1.2 billion in health-care infrastructure investment, including a new children’s hospital, and I would suggest there is little to cough at. tap here to see other videos from our team. Plenty of good news in Saskatchewan from new schools to economic growth and a new stadium in Regina Back to video Advertisement 2 Article content Education: My kids have a brand-new school in their town that opened last fall and I read there are 17 more schools on the way. If the future is in our youth, I like our chances. Private sector: There are eight new businesses in my immediate area supporting jobs in the service sector, three new highrise buildings, a new football stadium and an international trade centre planned. All will contribute to economic, social and cultural growth in our community. Some of these projects are completely initiated by the private sector, while others show the willingness of the government to co-invest to generate long-term economic dividends. Don’t forget about agriculture. There was more than $15 billion in agri-food exports in 2015. This is an impressive number. What’s more impressive is the number wasn’t just the hard work of farmers. The value-added sector also played a big role in achieving this export success five years ahead of plan. There is good news all around, you just have to want to see it.

Police: Robbery suspect arrested in Parsons Road shooting A suspect in the May 11 slaying of Keonte Gaskins was arrested May 29 after police say he pistol whipped a man during a robbery on Woodview Square, according to district court documents. Joshua Isiah Perry, 18, of Kaywood Drive, Salisbury, is accused of participating in the gunning down of the 21-year-old man in a stairwell at the Waterside Apartment Complex on Parsons Road. Officers with the Salisbury Police Department picked up Perry, along with two other robbery suspects, late on May 29 following the robbery. In the robbery case, 19-year-old Eric Cleveland Tull, of Moss Hill Lane, Salisbury, and Kevin Cornelius Land, 17, of Dover Street, Salisbury, were charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors, including armed robbery, which carries up to 20 years in prison. At 10:24 p.m. May 28, Salisbury police responded to the 400 block of Woodview Square for reports of a robbery. The victim, whom police say had a swelled and bruised face, told officers that he had been jumped and pistol whipped by four masked men while he was talking to his ex-girlfriend outside of an apartment. During the attack, the four men took off their masks, according to charging papers. READ MORE: Several of the suspects in this robbery were arrested in connection to a shooting on Parsons Road Because the victim knew his attackers, he identified Perry as the man who smacked him across the face with a Glock semi-automatic pistol, police said. The men stole two gold necklaces, a gold watch, two diamond earrings, $250, an iPhone and the victim's health insurance card, according to court records. Following the attack, the men ran into a nearby apartment, the papers state. Police surrounded the home and ordered the men outside, police said. Perry, Tull and Land were subsequently apprehended and interviewed, according to court records. During their interviews, Land and Perry admitted to being armed, the papers state. All three men admitted to "jumping" the victim as well, according to police. The fourth suspect in the robbery is still at large, according to Captain Rich Kaiser of the Salisbury Police Department. Perry, Tull and Land were each charged with armed robbery, conspiracy, robbery, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and theft less than $1,000. In addition, Perry and Land were also charged with firearms violations as well. NOTE: This report had been corrected to reflect the correct date of arrest for the suspects.

Politicians celebrate proposed new landfill rules Even the heavy rains couldn’t keep people from coming out to the announcement that could possibly give municipalities the right to accept or say no to landfills. A little more than a week after introducing the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, Environment Minister Jeff Yurek and Agricultural Minister Ernie Hardeman joined four Oxford County mayors in celebrating the proposed legislation in Ingersoll. Article content Two Ontario cabinet ministers and four Oxford County mayors led a celebration Thursday in Ingersoll of a new law that would give local politicians the power to veto a massive landfill in their backyard. Advertisement 2 Article content A little more than a week after introducing the legislation, part of the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, Environment Minister Jeff Yurek and Agricultural Minister Ernie Hardeman joined four Oxford mayors at a news conference in downtown Ingersoll attended by dozens of people. tap here to see other videos from our team. Politicians celebrate proposed new landfill rules Back to video Hardeman, the longtime Oxford MPP who twice attempted to give municipalities more say on new landfills when the Liberals were in power at Queen’s Park, said the legislation will put waste management companies and municipalities on the same footing. “The first thing developers will have to do is go to the municipality and see if they can work out an agreement that both parties can agree to what needs to be done. … This will give municipalities the right to have a say.” Advertisement 3 Article content The bill still has to go through second and third readings as well as committee review. But with the Conservatives holding a majority, the legislation intended to help the province recover economically from the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be quickly passed. The bill would give municipalities within 3.5 kilometres of a proposed landfill the power to accept or reject it. The legislation was tabled as Walker Environmental enters the final stages of its application to build a landfill in a mined-out limestone quarry west of Ingersoll with enough space for 17 million tonnes of non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste. An estimated 850,000 tonnes of waste would be trucked to the landfill each year. The draft environmental assessment for the landfill, released in March, said the landfill would create 57 full-time jobs and generate $80,000 a year in property taxes for Zorra Township. The study examining the potential environmental and social impacts of the landfill is in the midst of a public comment period – extended to Aug. 28 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will then be sent to the Environment Ministry for a decision. A spokeperson for the Ministry of the Environment said last week that any landfill proposals not approved by the province before the legislation is passed will require municipal consent. If that is the case for the proposal by Walker Environmental, it would mean Zorra Township, Ingersoll and South-West Oxford Township would have to approve the landfill Advertisement 4 Article content Zorra Mayor Marcus Ryan said throughout the landfill planning process Oxford municipalities were told there was nothing they could do because the province had the final say on building landfills. “What’s happening here today is a culmination of (the hard work). The people of Zorra should be proud of everything they’ve done and be especially proud of our relationship with our neighbours in Ingersoll.” Ingersoll council formed the Demand the Right Coalition in 2017. Ingersoll Mayor Ted Comiskey is the coalition’s chair and travelled throughout the province to seek support for giving municipalities a greater say in approving landfills. The coalition grew to include about 150 of the province’s 444 municipalities. “It’s something we’ve worked very hard at and we made it happen,” Comiskey said. “Being able to stand up as a municipality and say no. Being able to have the right to say we do not want to risk the chance of something happening.” Local residents have campaigned for nearly nine years agains the proposed landfill, citing concerns over its potential impact on water and quality. Bryan Smith, the president of the Oxford People Against Landfill Alliance, said local residents have sent nearly 134,000 letters to the province voicing their opposition to the project. Mike Chopowick, chief executive of the Ontario Waste Management Association, said the proposed changes to landfill approval would be “an unimaginable setback” in the province. Advertisement 5 Article content “It essentially scuttles every major landfill project. Walker Environmental has followed all the rules. They were in compliance with an environmental process when they embarked on the project and the rules have changed. You can imagine how problematic that is for them. This creates an impossible barrier for new major landfill projects in the province.” The association warns Ontario will run out of room in its landfills by 2032. If the United States stops accepting the province’s waste, landfills would be at capacity in 2028, it says. Yurek said the waste management industry will continue to play a vital role in the province’s economy. The industry and government will have to be creative in finding new ways to divert waste, he said. “What we’re going to see is the waste industry is going to adapt and change to bring in newer technologies in order to deal with the waste. People are demanding governments and municipalities to do better with waste. … I think you’re going to see a transformation where waste companies will find newer ways to reduce what’s going into landfills.” Comiskey said the new rules for landfills will force industries and governments to adapt. “Hopefully this will trigger the mother of invention. If I can’t bury waste, what am I going to do with it? Maybe now all of the industry and all levels of government in what we’re producing with waste and not stick it in the ground, but find uses for it that are safe for all of us.” Advertisement 6 Article content COVID-19 Here’s a rundown of our daily coverage on the Woodstock-area fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic from March, April, May, June and July.

Politicians who now criticise the bailout forget there was no alternativeby George Magnus / October 2, 2018 / Leave a comment Systemic banking crises are not pretty. They have dire economic, and often political, consequences. We have seen a few in the last 25 years, including in Japan (1990s) Mexico (1994/95), Asia and Russia (1997/98), and Argentina (2001), but none as systemically serious as the one that rumbled through the western world in 2007/08. So why did aspiring prime minister Jeremy Corbyn use his keynote speech to the Labour Party conference last week to attack the UK political and economic establishment, which, he said, “instead of making essential changes to the broken economic system, strained every sinew to bail out and prop up the system that lead to the crash in the first place”? This not-so-veiled attack on the last Labour government and others in positions of authority at the time is as perplexing as it is alarming. It’s perplexing because in 2008/09, there was no space or time for long parliamentary inquiries, or commissions to “make essential changes.” It was a case of act or go under. The then-Chancellor, Alistair Darling, has recalled that the head of the Royal Bank of Scotland warned him at height of the crisis that the bank might run out of cash. Upon asking when, Darling was stunned to be told “this afternoon.” It was about firefighting,nothing more, nothing less. It’s alarming, because Corbyn gave the impression that he might either have let the banks fail, or introduced a siege economy behind capital and other controls. In any event, the time for essential changes was before or after the crisis, but not during it. As it unravelled, the Brown government took Northern Rock into public ownership in 2007, stimulated the economy in late 2008, and later nationalised the Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Bank/HBOS. These actions, together with the recapitalisation of UK banks, and the implementation of Bank of England programmes to boost liquidity, guarantee bank debt and insure toxic assets had an upfront cost of over £500bn. At the time this was nearly a third of the UK’s GDP. On top of this, the Bank of England’s QE programme, having started at £200bn in November 2009, peaked at £435bn in August 2016. These are huge sums. It is no surprise that people take objection. But Corbyn’s judgment on the bailout is flawed for three principal reasons. First, the end-cost of financial rescues is often a lot lower than early estimates as, for example, some assets get sold, guarantees may not be utilised, and emergency loans are paid back. According to the National Audit Office, the level of outstanding support to the financial sector in March 2018 was £46bn, comprising £32bn of cash, and the rest of guarantees. A full account can be found in a recently published House of Commons briefing. The cash balance outstanding, largely in respect of RBS, was the equivalent of just 1.6 per cent of GDP. So, all things considered, the cost of the financial rescue, without knowing what the future proceeds from the sale of the government’s RBS stake might be one day, was small beer. Second, while there is a question mark hanging over the later escalation of QE, and the extent to which the government itself should have acted to support the economy, there is no doubt that the early QE initiatives were justified. The arteries through which credit flows through the economy had become sclerotic. Markets had failed, or weren’t functioning well. There were well-founded risks that payment systems for wages, and goods and services, could have frozen. Real time indicators of economic activity were plunging, and unemployment, normally a lagging indicator, started to rise quickly. It was imperative for the Bank to act. Third, if the Brown government had not stepped in as it did, the economic and social consequences would have been far, far worse. The counterfactual case is, inevitably, hard to define but you don’t have to be Einstein to figure it out. Imagine a banking system collapse in which cash and credit dried up, payments systems didn’t work, businesses failed and supermarkets ran out of food. This is what happens when confidence and trust drain suddenly out of the financial system. It had to be shored up immediately. Corbyn referred correctly to the things that the crisis spawned, such as economic stagnation, weak wages, cuts in public services, and the growth of racism and xenophobia. Now imagine, though, what letting the banks go or implementing a siege economy might have unleashed. Unemployment, for example, might have risen to 12-15 per cent or more instead of 8 per cent. The loss of output we suffered over a decade would have been still larger. The government could have been faced with a major currency crisis, social and economic dysfunction would have been much worse, and austerity even sharper. It was, of course, ideologically consistent for Corbyn to tell political activists and voters “the elite” was to blame for the bailout that rescued the banks that caused the crisis in the first place. Yet at the time, however unpalatable the bailout might have been there was no other option. Since the crisis, quite a lot of changes have occurred. Perhaps the change has not been extensive enough. Corbyn could have said a future Labour government would not permit regular private financial institutions to enjoy all the benefits of risk-taking, only to socialise the costs when those risks went sour. And that it would take a totally different approach to the structure of banking in the UK—going much further than the last government did in 2013 following the independent Vickers Commission report. The thing about systemic crises, is that once they start, it’s too late to do anything but draw the sting from them, and only then in due course, do the fixing. Unless, of course, you see political advantage in economic and social chaos.
