Should B.C. seize impaired drivers’ cars?
The B.C. government is looking at its own version of an Ontario law that allows for the seizure and sale of vehicles owned by people convicted of impaired driving. The Ontario law requires drivers who’ve had three impaired driving convictions in 10 years to forfeit their vehicles to the province, which can then sell them. B.C. Solicitor General John Les said he is considering adopting similar legislation for B.C. that could be used against those with an established pattern of driving while impaired. Ultimately, any decision to seize a vehicle would have to be made by a judge in court, said Les. Full Story What do you think? Do you think B.C. should be able to seize the cars of drunk drivers, and sell them?

After the Flood: On Canada Live
When the floods raged in Manitoba this year, the story was at the top of every newscast and on the front page of every paper. Then, as the waters drained away, so did much of the reporting… and the thoughts of many Canadians who weren’t waterlogged in Winnipeg. And even though the actor and singer was not one of the Manitobans whose home was left with more than just memories of the water levels, it was Tom Jackson who spearheaded Rise Again 2009:The Red Cross Manitoba Flood Relief Concert.

First steps. First words. They all get enough attention. But let’s not forget about another pretty great first: First concerts!

But, like chocolate and strawberries and… a third tasty topping (whipped cream, anyone?)… the three began to wonder if their individual ingredients might not be even more extraordinary if they were presented all together…

Is the Canadian military taking care of trainees?
Former recruit Natasha Howell says her faith in the Canadian Forces is shattered. (CBC)E Soldier recruits injured during basic training in Quebec are accusing the Canadian military of ignoring and mistreating their injuries and leaving them jobless and disabled. “I’m 30 years old and I have to learn how to walk,” said Natasha Howell. “They saw my injury. They knew it and they still didn’t do anything about it nothing.” What the doctors at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School (CFLRS) at Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu told Howell was a sprained ankle in September 2005, required reconstructive surgery two years later after she was discharged.

What do you think about the new carbon tax?
Finance Minister Carole Taylor delivers the B.C. Budget. (CBC) British Columbians refusing to change the way they live will find it costs them more and more over the next three years to heat their homes and drive their cars once the province fully implements its new carbon tax. The Liberal government’s latest budget delivered today has introduced escalating taxes on all fossil fuels. It’s meant to encourage British Columbians to do everything from walking more to weather-stripping draughty windows and doors. The tax will escalate with each year and will eventually rake in $1.85 billion, but Finance Minister Carole Taylor maintains it will be revenue neutral and the government won’t use any of it to pay for general programs. She also says that in the first year, the extra money people pay will be off-set by personal and corporate income tax cuts and a $100 rebate to every adult and child in the province. Full Story What do you think about the new carbon tax? How much do you think it will cost you — or will you come out ahead?
