How do you think these nurses should be compensated?
Adele McLean, a B.C. nurse, says their fight was about recognition, not money. (CBC) Canadian taxpayers are facing a huge, unexpected bill for as much as $200 million in back pay owed to hundreds of nurses, the nurses’ lawyer estimates. The nurses worked for the federal government doing medical assessments on Canadians who applied for disability payments under the Canada Pension Plan. After years of complaining and getting nowhere, they filed a complaint of discrimination in 2004 with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Last month, they won their case. Their Victoria lawyer now estimates the settlement could cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Full Story What do you think? Do these nurses deserve years of back pay? How do you think the government should respond?
What do you think about the Victoria Police video?
Police surveillance tape shows Willow Kinloch, then 15, was tethered to the door. (CBC) A B.C. teenager alleges she was assaulted and unlawfully confined by Victoria police when she was just 15. Police surveillance videotape shows Willow Kinloch detained in a padded cell, where police officers are seen holding her down, handcuffing her, tying her feet and tethering her to the cell door for four hours. Kinloch’s family has filed a civil law suit against the City of Victoria and the four officers involved. The case is expected to go to trial this fall. Full Story| Raw Video What did you think of the video? Do you think the Victoria Police were justified in restraining Willow Kinloch the way they did? Should these restraints be used?
Yes or no to megacity?
At the start of January 1998, toronto‘s six municipal governments were amalgamated into one megacity, but a decade later financial problems still exist. The idea of amalgamation came with promises of huge cost savings, even cuts in property tax, but that never happened. Many blame the amalgamation for financial problems the city still faces today. The Conservative provincial government of Mike Harris promised amalgamation wouldn’t hurt the new city financially. But toronto‘s costs rose fast and revenue didn’t. The promised savings never materialized, nor did those property tax decreases. Harris later said that toronto failed to make the necessary cuts. But others say Harris failed to realize how expensive such a large government would become. Property tax revenue barely budged, yet the cost of wages, social services and other programs skyrocketed. Over the following years, toronto sunk deeper and deeper into a financial hole. toronto now has new tax revenue coming in and it is hoped that this spring the provincial government may once again start paying for the expensive social programs cities were handed at amalgamation. What’s your view? Did amalgamation help or hinder the development of the city? Do you like the new GTA, or would you prefer the old municipalities?
Do you think Laibar Singh should be deported?
Laibar Singh suffered a stroke last year that left him a quadriplegic. (CBC) Supporters of a paralyzed, failed refugee claimant who has taken sanctuary at a Sikh temple in Surrey say they have once again stopped his deportation. About 300 supporters gathered outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple on Wednesday in an attempt to prevent Canadian Border Services Agency officials from taking Laibar Singh into custody. The latest deportation order was scheduled to take place Wednesday at 4:30 a.m. PT, but the deportation was delayed as temple representatives met with border agents and police. Along with the crowd of supporters, a cube van was parked behind the temple’s large metal gate, which was locked with chains. Full Story Do you think Laibar Singh should be allowed to stay in Canada? If you want to see him deported, how do you think the government should accomplish that?

Is it fair to ban facial piercings in a school or workplace?
Former B.C. culinary student Niseema Emery was told by the school to take out her jewellery or leave. (CBC) A B.C. culinary school won’t allow one of its students to complete her studies because she refuses to follow a new dress code that requires the removal of her facial jewelry and large earrings, the student says. The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Vancouver changed its dress code in 2006, banning students from having facial piercings. Former student Niseema Emery says that was not the rule when she enrolled and says the school’s policy is unfair. “It’s one of the ways that I express myself and I’m not willing to change that,” said Emery. “It makes me feel good. It’s like putting makeup on in the morning, getting ready to go. It’s exactly the same as any other kind of piercing or ear piercing, it’s just a little bit bigger.” Full Story What do you think? Is it fair to ban facial piercings in schools or workplaces? As a restaurant customer, what would you think about employees with facial piercings?

Pre-sale condos: good investment or risky business?
Kenny Chang and Jasmine Wong say their Vancouver condo didn’t turn out to be what was portrayed in the floor plan they saw when purchasing the unit. (CBC) Slick suites promised by condominium developers may turn out not to be the urban dream buyers thought they were purchasing, a real estate lawyer warns. Discrepancies found between floor plans or model suites and the actual apartment units or condos are not uncommon, said Charles Hanes, a toronto real estate agent, who also runs a website on condo buying. “There’s a lot of creativity in this business all the way through,” Hanes told CBC News: Marketplace. “They [developers] can hire the best marketing people [and] the best staging people. You can make a 700-square-foot place look like a palace. You can have an unlimited ceiling height in it and neglect to tell the people what the ceiling heights are.” Have you bought a pre-sale condo? How did the final product compare to what you were expecting?
Does the Big White avalanche change how safe you feel using B.C. mountains?
There were 10,000 to 11,000 people on the mountain at the time of the avalanche, officials from the Big White Ski Resort said. (CBC) A body was found Monday afternoon in a slide area at the Big White Ski Resort near Kelowna, B.C., but police have not yet determined whether it’s a snowboarder feared lost in an avalanche a day earlier. RCMP are trying to determine the identity of the individual to see whether it is the snowboarder reported missing Sunday, spokeswoman Const. Julie Rattee said in a release issued at about 4 p.m. The RCMP earlier identified the missing snowboarder as Leigh Barnier, 21, an Australian working for the housekeeping department at the Moguls Hotel in Big White. His family is on the way from Australia. Full Story Does the avalanche at Big White change how safe you feel using B.C. mountains? Will you prepare differently for a day on the mountain?

Should skiers in closed areas face criminal charges?
Sgt. Steve LeClair said a man whose friend died in an avalanche could face a criminal charge. (CBC) RCMP in Whistler, B.C., are considering laying a criminal charge against a man who survived a deadly New Year’s Day avalanche after he and a friend ventured into a permanently closed area, disobeying warning signs. Police aren’t releasing the 21-year-old snowboarder’s name or the name of his companion, a 29-year-old skier, who died when the avalanche swept the pair off a cliff. Staff Sgt. Steve LeClair told CBC News on Wednesday that police are looking at the possibility of laying a charge of criminal negligence causing death against the man who remains in hospital.
