More than 1,000 people have expressed interest on Facebook for attending the event, includ- ing Rachel Smith-Gay, a Can- adian Studies student at UofC. “I have a lot of questions and concerns regarding First Nations, Métis and Inuit issues, particularly what concrete ac tions are actually being taken in regards to the national in- quiry into missing and mur dered indigenous women and girls," Smith-Gay said. ‘Andrew Thompson, a Grade 12 student at Rundle High ‘chool in Calgary who plans on attending the event, said he feels there is a disconnect between the prairie provinces and Ottawa, “I plan to ask Mr, Trudeau Calgary on Tuesday to take questions. mecanaoun ness What Calgarians want to know from Justin Trudeau sity of what his goals are in terms of closing the communication gap between himself and western voters,” Thompson said, High River resident Treena Newton is concerned about the new president south of the border. “I'm concerned about the shift im our relations with the US. and curious what Trudeau might be anticipating,” New- ton said.

Itwas September 2010 when someone snapped a photo of Deveaux walking away from the helicopter in question during a stopover on his way to the Aga Khan's private island, For Deveaux, the political per ils were decidedly more glaring. The Aga Khan was seeking permission to dredge offshore fom his island, inside an estab- lished marine reserve, in order to make room for his massive luxury yacht, among other ves sels. Locals feared irrevocable environmental harm. The area, known as the Ext: mas, had become popular with celebrities and super-wealthy ‘people keen on owning their own ‘sland. Indeed, the Hollywood Reporter calls the Bahamas the LaLocHe ‘epicentre of the privateisland world” ‘Owners include actor Johnny Depp, singers Faith Hill and Tim MeGraw and former investment banker Steve Harrington. The Aga Khan —the wealthy philanthropist and hereditary spiritual leader to the world’s approximately 15 million Ismaili Muslims — happens to be a dose family friend of Trudeau's. Trudeau has been facing heat over the light ever since the Na- tional Post reported on his family holiday at the Aga Khan's island, ‘which also included Liberal MP Seamus O'Regan and Liberal >. party president Anna Gainey. The federal Conflict of Inter est Act and Trudeau's own ethics ‘guidelines for his cabinet min- isters bar the use of sponsored travel in private aircraft, allowing it only for exceptional circum stances and only with the com: missioner’s prior approval. ‘Theact also prohibits a minis- ter orany member of their family from accepting gifts or “advan- tages” that could reasonably be seen as influencing government decisions.

Trudeau has repeatedly called the Aga Khan a longtime family fiend ‘who served as a pallbearer at his father's funeral Back in 2010, there were im- mediate calls for Deveaux's re- signation. The Bahamian news- paper the Tribune quoted him as saying he couldn't be bought with a single flight. Then-prime minister Hubert Ingraham stood by his minis- ter, admitting that he, too, had hopped a ride in the very same helicopter to meet with the Aga Khan and foreign dignitaries ‘At the time, a frequent polit- ical argument — similar to that of Trudeau —was that there was no other means of accessing the Mao-hectare Bell Island, which the ‘Aga Khan reportedly purchased 2009 for $100 million US. ‘Another: In the island archi- pelago of the Bahamas, local politicians ride regularly in private helicopters owned by developers. Such practices were also com- ‘monplace in Canadian politics, but are now expressly forbidden under federal ethics rules, which is why the flight was controver- sal. THE CANADIAN RE Marking anniversary of deadly school shooting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is remembering the anniversary of the deadly La Loche, Sask, school shooting, saying the tiny com- munity has inspized the whole country Sunday marks the one-year anniversary ofthe shooting that killed two staff and wounded seven others in the high school. Two teenage brothers were also killed in a nearby home. ‘Trudeau issued a statement Sunday that sad inthe year since the tragedy, the people of La Loche have shown resilience, determination to rebuild and optimism fora better future, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said ina separate statement that all of Saskatchewan wept ‘with La Loche after the shooting. He said the province has been working with the community to strengthen mental health sup- ports, counselling services and programs in La Loche, and con- tnues to measure the effective ness of those supports, ‘We resolve once again as a province to walk with you, to remember the lives that were lost far too soon, and to turn the pain of loss into seeds of hope for the future,” Wall sad. “To the community of La Loche, please accept our deepest sympathies and know that you have our unwavering support.” Trudeau said. THe cANADAN leave now areality ‘Aunion in Alberta has negot ‘ated domestic violence leave fo: members who work at a long- term care facility The United Steelworkers says the agreement means Rivercrest Care Centre workers who are victims of domestic violence can take paid leave for legal, medical and counselling appointments without fear of losing their jobs. Ray White, president of Local 1-207, said the contract language isa fits for the union in Alberta andi plans to table similar pro- posals with other employers. “The stigma attached to do- mestic violence is bad enough without having to go to your employer hat in hand begging for time off.” he said, “We have it on three other contract tables right now and, as they become available, we will be putting the proposal forward at every place we bargain. Blair Halliday, chief operat- ing officer of Qualicare Health Services Corp., said he was in- itially surprised when the union tabled the proposal for workers at the Fort Saskatchewan nursing home, But after learning more about domestic violence, the company decided it was the right thing to do for the employees, who are mainly women. Halliday said the benefits o weigh the cost, even in Alberta's tough economy. “We thought it was a reason- able thing to do.” Halliday said. ‘The union hopes provincial ‘governments will take action to ensure all people can take time offto get help they need, he sad. ‘Alberta Labour Minister Chris tina Gray said the government will look at domestic violence leave as part ofa review of the province's labour laws, but she ‘gave no indication when that May be.
