Gordon Campbell's hospitality tab tops other diplomats 16 Jul 2012 – Wining and dining at Canada's embassies abroad escaped the axe as the rest of the federal government faced across-the-board budget cuts. Campbell's total tab is nearly three times more than any other ambassador in the same period, according to figures posted online by Foreign Affairs under proactive disclosure rules. www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/07/16/pol-harris-ambassadors-hospitality.html'Clerical errors' overstated Gordon Campbell expenses 18 Jul 2012 – Foreign Affairs Canada has altered an online record of hospitality expense claims for the high commissioner to the United Kingdom, Gordon Campbell, citing “clerical errors.” The revised reports, posted on the department’s website under proactive disclosure rules, cut the top diplomat’s claims in half — from the original $67,296 posted to the current $33,975. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/07/17/gordon-campbell-hospitality-expenses-uk.html__________________________ Event in B.C. for Bush, Clinton cost taxpayers $45K, even after politicians said it wouldn’t cost a thing Jul 26, 2012 – 10 hours ago While Watts told the CBC on Wednesday the security wasn’t providing any actual protection, only crowd control, a spokesman for the RCMP said they were protecting “international protected persons.” news.nationalpost.com/2012/07/26/event-in-b-c-for-bush-clinton-cost-taxpayers-45k-even-after-politicians-said-it-wouldnt-cost-a-thing/Hosting two former U.S. presidents no burden to taxpayers: Surrey mayor Jul 26, 2012 – 4 hours ago Two RCMP helicopters, which cost $9,310, and $6,816 in various other costs, such as meals and transportation for officers, was shouldered by the federal government, she said. www.vancouversun.com/news/Hosting+former+presidents+burden+taxpayers+Surrey+mayor/6996363/story.html

Government ignores public opposition, approves Jumbo resort Thursday, October 14, 2004 The BC government's approval of the environmental assessment (EA) for the controversial Jumbo Glacier Resort is just the latest illustration of their contempt for public participation. Cabinet approved the EA, despite the overwhelming opposition of a broad cross section of local residents, businesses, environmentalists and First Nations. Approximately 90% of the 12,000 submissions opposed the project. Environmentalists and local residents are concerned because the resort is to be situated smack dab in grizzly habitat. They fear Jumbo could drain neighboring Invermere's diversified economy as well forcing taxpayers to pay big dollars to subsidize new roads and infrastructure. Many local businesses are also opposed. Businesses that rely on the region's awe-inspiring wilderness are concerned that this mega-project will put local businesses into bankrupcy while enriching a few investors living abroad, or in far off Vancouver. more: dogwoodinitiative.org/in-depth/government_ignores_public_opposition_approves_jumbo_resort

CETA Trade Deal and Jumbo Resort Proposal in Sep-Oct-2012-Vol22-No4 ..... Then, on May 1, the Liberals introduced Bill 41, which included an amendment to the Local Government Act buried in a miscellaneous list. That amendment allows for the “incorporation of a new mountain resort municipality…whether or not there are residents in the area,” as long as the proponent “has entered into an agreement with the government with respect to developing alpine ski lift operations, year-round recreational facilities and commercial overnight accommodation within the area…” Just days later, on May 16, Bill 41 passed third reading. Invermere Mayor Gerry Taft recently told East Kootenay News Online Weekly, “Developers who wish to rezone land have to follow a process that includes public hearings and a final decision by officials who are accountable to the residents who elected them. This legislation would empower a [cabinet] minister to give developers a special status that bypasses the democratic process and undermines the ability of local citizens to control development. The ability of the proposed Jumbo Resort, and other potential developments, to bypass the land use process and get their own municipality status without residents is an affront to local communities... Slippery Slopes One answer to those questions is revealed here for the first time. A director of Glacier Resorts Ltd., the proponent for Jumbo, is directly involved in promoting the controversial Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), being negotiated in secret between Canada and the EU since May 2009, with the goal of signing it in 2012. Celso Boscariol, a Glacier Resorts Ltd. director since at least 2008, has, as President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada-West (ICCC-West), been a primary advocate for CETA since at least 2011. Boscariol, who ran unsuccessfully in New Westminster-Coquitlam-Burnaby in the 1997 federal election, has long been a BC Liberal Party insider. Boscariol’s advocacy efforts for CETA are in part funded by the European Union through three grants for the ICCC-West’s EU-Canada Partnership project, which not only promotes “the enhanced EU-Canada Economic Partnership,” but (according to its website, http://eu-canada.com) is also “working with local business organizations and involving the provincial CETA negotiators and policy makers.” Along with the EU, the sponsors for the ICCC-West’s EU-Canada Partnership project include the Canadian federal government, the government of British Columbia, the government of Alberta, NCTM – a large Italy-based law firm, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Brussels, and the PostMedia Network (which owns newspapers across Canada). www.watershedsentinel.ca/content/ceta-trade-deal-and-jumbo-resort-proposal
