TONITE 3 HR'S AGO Follow Us Exclusives Canada World Business Entertainment Sports Science & Tech Weather Video Viral Thousands rally against gang violence in Surrey after teens' deaths CBCJune 13, 2018 View photos Thousands rally against gang violence in Surrey after teens' deaths More Thousands filled the plaza outside of Surrey City Hall to rally against gang violence in the B.C. city on Wednesday. The "Wake Up" rally was organized after two teenagers were killed in a targeted shooting in the Campbell Heights neighbourhood. Jaskarn (Jason) Singh Jhutty, 16, and Jaskaran (Jesse) Singh Bhangal, 17, were found dead on a section of 188 Street near 40 Avenue on June 4. Police are still investigating their deaths. Parents and community leaders at Wednesday's rally said more needs to be done to prevent further tragedies. Gurpreet Singh Sahota, who organized the event, said the city has had enough. "The deaths of two kids ... it's outrageous," he said. "The community is very upset and that's what motivated us to do this." Members of the South Asian media, including AM 1550's Harjit Singh Gill, also helped host the rally. Gill said talking about gang violence has been an everyday reality for years. "Every day, we talk about it," he said. "And still nothing has happened." "We looked at those kids and we thought, 16 and 17? Come on. So we had to plan something." Family speaks Jhutty and Bhangal's grieving family members spoke at the rally. They took the stage wearing T-shirts with the victims' faces printed on the front. "We've lost our son," said Mandeep Bhangal, Jesse's aunt. "He had a bright future." "Our community needs to wake up. It's only Surrey — nowhere else." B.C. Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth was also in the crowd, as were other local politicians. Rally organizers gathered signatures for a petition asking the government for illegal drugs to be regulated, licensed and sold in shops. They also handed out flyers — in Punjabi and English — with tips for parents on how to keep their children away from gangs. Organizers said they hope to form a committee to meet with local politicians, including the mayor of Surrey and the head of the city's police force, to get regular updates on gang violence prevention.

its brand new, its also the biggest reason why oil and gas is looking at Rupert, but wouldnt expect a big shot hoity toit from surrey to know that.

you really have no idea of what your talking about like at all, and your typical response is ALWAYS something stupid like this quote.

1890? the town wasn't incorporated until 1912 , and my fathers family was a pioneering family ,with horses and eventually trucks (real british Columbian history) about as far from some of the interbreed wierdo's in surrey as you can get..

we could on and on but there's the traffic ,there's the stupid crazy costs and then there's this... or this
-
lived in Burnaby twice ,my folks lived in comox since 88 ,its beautiful , the whole island! whereas ditchmond , slurrey could cave into the ocean and the net benefit would be a lower murder rate.
-
affordability in the lower mainland IS uncomparable to how affordable the cost of living is on the island, slurrey flurry blurry........ forget it.

i know an arbourist in comox from Rupert diane is doin fine .....

summer of 2015 I'm in comox painting my dads house , the little old lady across the street wanted me to paint her house , i asked how long she's been waiting (almost a year) and how much the contractor quoted , she said 4500 ,hhmmm , i just painted my dads house in 4 days , hers being almost identical , even if i said sure i'll do it for 2500 , it would have been worth doing. then she says the people behind her would hire me, i couldn't do either since i was booked on the port hardy rupert ferry , bottom line i could have easily stayed and done it and I'm sure more jobs would have materialized, my parents told me this back in the late 80s the island was/is a place where its VERY easy to create your own job..............

1 more time cause it's not on enough.....

i guess you didn't read the article it states that aframax class ships wont be BIG enough weighed against where the industry is going VLCC ULCC ,so Vancouver with its limited tankers to aframax class puts the additional cost to an already inferior product on the customer's lap, ships are funny that way ,once they have forward momentum a large ship is no less efficiant than say a smaller ship ,and given where the competition is going with capacities ,then clearly 1 problem (capacity) may compound the little problem of (quality)
-
it could be both , my point was/is why chose both options if better ones exist?

Two weeks ago, the first supertanker capable of holding two million barrels of oil departed for the first time from America’s newly upgraded—and only—terminal able to dock and load crude-carrying behemoths of this size. Bound for China, the inaugural run signals a major shift in global oil shipping patterns, economics, and the highly competitive oil refinery business. It is no accident that the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP), terminal was built deep in the Mississippi Delta. To the south, a 29-kilometre pipeline stretches across the shallow Gulf of Mexico coastal shelf, to a point deep enough to allow Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) to unload or load their vast tonnages of oil. Just north of Port Fourchon, an underground complex of salt caverns and surface tanks stores both oil imports headed for U.S. refineries, and fast-increasing volumes of oil bound for export. The LOOP terminal is a speculator’s venture on steroids. Built with private capital, it is North America’s first oil port dedicated to the planet’s largest crude tankers, handling bi-directional oil flows. It’s designed to thrive on fierce global fights over not just oil supply and demand, but the multi-billion dollar bets corporate oil traders and hedge funds place, hoping to buy low and sell high—now, or two or five years from now. Any VLCC from any country can now unload or load at LOOP. They can bring oil from the Persian Gulf, Nigeria, Russia, or Brazil. They can carry it—two million barrels at a time—to China, India, Indonesia, or Europe, at a shipping price lower than smaller tankers. And because the LOOP bi-directional pipeline can pump oil at a mind-bending 100,000 barrels per hour, supertankers can arrive with one load for refining and take off with another, by barely dropping anchor. That will likely prove fatal to Alberta’s plans to expand unrefined bitumen exports either by the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline to the British Columbia coast, or the proposed Keystone XL pipeline because: • Potential foreign refiners and customers will demand that future oil price, quality, shipping costs, and delivery speeds match those that LOOP can offer. • For marine safety reasons, the maximum oil tanker cargo allowed through B.C.’s Burrard Inlet is an Aframax class ship at 80 per cent capacity carrying 550,000 barrels, only about one-quarter the load of a VLCC. That means a refiner in Asia would need to book and pay for four tankers to ship the same amount as from the LOOP terminal, then wait longer for the full order to arrive.

the original endbridge proposal almost had it right , kitamat's shallow harbour ,add in the 60 km douglas channel ,add the negotiation of ferrant, the infamous 'gil' island compania ,banks and pitt island ,was just WRONG, the port of prince Rupert has NO size limitation , no depth limitation , and minimal navigational issues comparative to vancouvers and kitamats. having said that ship density is currently avg, 2000 annual , container ,log ,cruise and pellet ships in prince Rupert harbour ,and container ,grain ,coal, propane ships at ridley isl. add the aluminum ,log and eventual LNG ships in/out of kitamat north coast ship traffic is already fairly heavy. BUT comparative to Vancouver and the ridiculously 'HEAVY' traffic along the proposed KM traffic route ,the northern corridor has its advantages, 2 days of ship travel saved , up to a week of rail shunting within the lowermainland between pt mann and the harbour . between 7 to 9 days difference. AND if we are lead to believe everything regarding marine safety,spill response ???????? the powers that be , have blundered both the transmountain, and the northern gateway in my opinion. So why limit the current plan to aframax class size ?, when globally the industry is moving to VLCC(very large crude carriers and/or ULCC (ultra large crude carriers) the north coast beats the lower mainland hands down , and literally blows away ANY american port . currently the northern moratorium DOES allow for certain fuels ,and those fuels were deemed far more acceptable by northerners , there's a reason why grain ,coal ,containers ,logs ,pellets are shipped out of Rupert , load time and volume's are beating Vancouver in almost every category . REFINERIE in the north !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the moratorium is being challenged by calvin helin of eagle spirit holdings . partnered with F.AQUILINI . the existing moratorium allows for fuels still. this challenge is for a Rupert or pt. simpson destination. Crude oil tanker moratorium on British Columbia's north coast From: Transport Canada Backgrounder On May 12, 2017, the Government of Canada introduced C-48, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act in Parliament that seeks to formalize an oil tanker moratorium on British Columbia’s north coast. The proposed Act would prohibit oil tankers carrying more than 12,500 metric tonnes of crude or persistent oils as cargo from stopping, loading or unloading any of these oils at ports or marine installations in northern British Columbia. The proposed moratorium area extends from the Canada/United States border in the north down to the point on British Columbia’s mainland adjacent to the northern tip of Vancouver Island, and also includes Haida Gwaii. Once the legislation is passed, it will provide a high level of protection for the Canadian coastline around Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. This proposed moratorium will complement the existing voluntary Tanker Exclusion Zone, which has been in place since 1985. Products Covered The Act will apply to the shipment of crude oils as defined by the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. It will also apply to related oil products that are heavier and when spilled, break up and dissipate slowly. A complete list of these persistent products included in the proposed moratorium is outlined in a schedule to the proposed Act. Below are examples of related oil products included and not included in the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act. Examples of related oil products included in the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act Partially upgraded bitumen Synthetic crude oil Petroleum pitch Slack wax Bunker C fuel oil Examples of related oil products not included in the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act Liquefied natural gas Gasoline Naphtha Jet fuel Propane Amendment protocol Amendments to the schedule could be considered following a regulatory review to assess the latest developments in science and evidence on the fate and behaviour of a petroleum product when spilled, and the state of clean up technology and oil spill response capacity. Environmental safety will be the main consideration for any additions or deletions to the product list through the regulatory process. Enforcement and non-compliance To reinforce the seriousness of the Government of Canada’s commitment to the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act, the proposed legislation includes an enforcement regime and penalty provisions. Penalties will be commensurate with the scale of violation and could reach up to $5 million. Oceans Protection Plan The proposed Oil Tanker Moratorium Act complements the Government of Canada’s $1.5 billion Oceans Protection Plan (OPP), a national strategy to create a world-leading marine safety system that provides economic opportunities for Canadians today, while protecting our coastlines for future generations. This is the largest investment ever made in our oceans and waterways. The OPP will involve new measures to improve marine safety and responsible shipping, protect Canada’s marine environment, and offer new possibilities for Indigenous and coastal communities. As part of the Oceans Protection Plan, the Government is investing in increased capacity for the Canadian Coast Guard and in better oil spill prevention, response and clean up measures. The Government of Canada is engaging Indigenous groups, as well as coastal communities and Canadians across the country, to share their ideas on how we can work together through the OPP to create a stronger marine safety system and better protect our coastline.

and if you lived to be 150 years old when, where, why, would you ever be confronted with or be required to answer a mathematic equation even close or even simpler than this?

any unsigned treaty remains unsigned ,its because the band doesn't agree with something in any of the 6 stages of negotiation, and wouldn't, at this stage of treaty negotiation be a fault of any level of government . if a band opposed the pipeline with an unsigned treaty and the actual land that was being negotiated where pipeline placement would happen , the legal precedence wouldn't change. the likelihood of anyone building anything on contentious land is pretty low ,and maybe lower for JT given that some bands stance is ....JT's pro pipeline stance IS a violation of the reconciliation process. if any of those bands in opposition are with or without treaty i couldn't tell you. but your statement is a MOOT POINT . i'll add i may or may not agree with anything i've just explained. this fence is hurting my a$$
