From the house submitted by John Rafferty M.P.
This week was another busy
one in Ottawa with an update
into the Senate Scandal audits,
a new budget date and the first
spending announcement from
it, and the tabling of a second
motion of mine on the pensions
file.
The big news this week
comes via an update from the
Auditor General on the Senate
Scandal audits that he is conducting. The scandal itself goes
back to 2012 when the Auditor
General conducted a surface
audit of the expenses of seven
Senators and found that four
Conservative and Liberal Senators had submitted improper
expense claims (Senators
Duffy, Brazeau, Wallin, and
Harb). All four of those Senators will face criminal charges
for breach of trust, and Duffy’s
trial is set to begin next week.
This week an official, who
wished to not be identified,
claimed that the Auditor General has sent a letter to 40 Senators asking them to account
for what appears to be improper expense claims. It was
also claimed that at least one
Senator has been asked to account for more than $100,000
in dubious claims. When
reached for comment on the reports the Auditor General
would not confirm the facts
above, but did say he will be
presenting his report before the
end of June. Stay tuned.
The Finance Minister has
gone missing since oil prices
collapsed, but he was spotted
this week and in a shocker even
said he would present a budget
this month. In what has been a
shaky year for the Finance
Minister Joe Oliver who first
claimed in January that the
plunging oil prices would not
affect his budget, but just a
week later he announced the
presentation of the budget was
being postponed indefinitely
for that same reason. Throughout the spring New Democrats
have called on the government
to step up and present a budget,
and finally this week we heard
some news.
The Finance Minister finally
announced this week that he
will present his budget on
Tuesday April 21, 2015. The
excuse that he was hiding behind, that the collapse of oil
prices was the reason for the
delay, seemed to ring hollow as
the Alberta government was
somehow able to table their
budget this week and in spite of
oil prices having a much more
negative impact on their finances than the federal government. Interestingly, on the same
day he made this announcement however, documents were
leaked to the media that
showed the first expense to be
contained in the budget will be
$7.5 million for promoting the
budget and the Conservative
Party through partisan ads paid
for by taxpayers.
Finally this week I presented
my second motion as the New
Democratic Critic for Pensions.
The motion, with the number
M-595, reads as follows:
“That, in the opinion of the
House, the government should
review the Registered Retirement Income Fund mandatory
minimum withdrawal thresholds and amend them to ensure
that they do not unduly force
seniors to exhaust their savings
too quickly.”
I tabled this motion after consulting with several groups that
deal with issues affecting seniors and pensions. In a nutshell,
if you pay into RRSPs then
they will turn into RRIFs at age
71, and you will be required to
make minimum annual withdrawals from those RRIFs
based on a schedule created
way back in 1992. If that
schedule is followed, then the
RRIFs of most people will be
exhausted by the time they
reach age 92. Fortunately, our
life expectancy is increasing
each year, but that also means
that more and more people will
outlive their RRIF savings.
This motion calls upon the government to stretch out that
schedule so that the savings of
these seniors last longer. As we
move forward towards the end
of parliament in June I will be
tabling more motions to address other problems with our
public and private pension
plans and retirement savings.
That’s our update for this
week as Parliament now heads
into a two-week Easter break.
During my time in our riding I
will be keeping a busy schedule
and be out and about at a number of events and meetings
around our riding, so please
stop by for a chat if you see me
and have the time.
Ambulance fees obstacles
on the road to care
By Ryan Meili

Imagine you're a physician
seeing a six month old child in
clinic. She has a fever and
cough, she's working hard to
breathe and her oxygen levels
are falling. You know she
needs assessment in the emergency room and requires transportation in an ambulance in
case her condition worsens en
route. Her family understands
the urgency of the situation,
but asks, "Could we take her
there in our car?"
Experiencing a medical
emergency is an incredibly
stressful experience for patients and their families. This
stress should not be compounded by worries about getting an ambulance bill they
can't afford. As physicians, we
know the importance of the
first few minutes of an emergency situation, and the crucial
role of Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) in saving
lives. And yet ambulance fees
remain a significant barrier to
people receiving necessary
care across Canada.

whatever it is that you like.
We are in the market for replacing our old bunny that
passed away last fall and we
thought we would do it over
the Easter Weekend but Maddie and Marlee were quite
busy with hockey so we have
to postpone that. Our plans
are to get a female and I have
promised the girls that we
would have a litter of bunnies
at some point. The girls were
anxious to get out to the country on Sunday to show off
their new electric scooters and
of course to participate in our
Annual Easter Hunt. The
Easter Bunny had stuff
stashed in 18 different spots
and clues were given for the
hunt. He didn’t hide anything
too big but it’s pretty exciting
to watch them run off to the
locations and run back to
proudly show you what they
had found. I reminded my
mom that Shane and I weren’t
that lucky – our Easter Bunny
didn’t hide things outside and
most times they were just
dropped in a couple of empty
ashtrays in the house.
We ran into a small dilemma
– Grandma purchased a couple of new outfits for the girls
new “Build-a-Bear” and she
had to get one Boston Bruins
outfit and one Winnipeg Jets.
Maddie & Marlee’s dad has
them convinced that there is
no other team than Boston!
So after some convincing on
how great it is the have the
Jet’s as neighbours, how
“Buff” is friends with some of
our friends, and that you always cheer for a team so close
to home – it all turned out well.
After our big Easter meal we
decided it was time to move
the sheep into the barn since
lambs should be arriving in the
next week. It was good exercise to do that after supper
since it takes patience, time
and lots of exercise. Mad and
Mar were in charge of leading
the flock with their pails of
grain. I tried to shut gates behind but never think you can
chase them…..it just doesn’t
work. After 3 or 4 turns we
got them all into the barn. We
then had to sort them out into
a
few
pens.
My
boyfriend/partner had built
some feed bunks for them but
since they are so fat right now
we had to limit how many
could eat at each bunk since
they were too fat to stand beside each other. Over the
weekend there was a big timber wolf staring down through
the cows at them so they are
much safer where they are
now!
I have officially opened
EARS and it looks to be a busy
year ahead of us. I and every
other farmer in our district is

her severely-ill daughter. Connie Newman of the Manitoba
Association of Seniors Centres
recently described to reporters
the plight of an elderly woman
who walked to the hospital in
-40C because she could not afford an ambulance. How often
are people forced to choose the
unsafe option of driving themselves or their loved ones to
hospital simply because they
cannot afford to pay?
A recent CBC Marketplace
survey revealed that 19 per
cent of Canadians did not call
an ambulance due to cost.
Clearly, this is an issue that our
provincial and territorial health
ministers need to address.
A look across our provinces
and territories reveals a patchwork system for financing ambulance
services.
New
Brunswick has recently removed ambulance fees for
anyone who does not have private insurance coverage. All
other provinces and territories
in Canada - with the exception
of the Yukon - charge ambulance fees. The burden of cost
to patients is highest in the
prairies: Manitoba charges up
to $530 per trip, and
Saskatchewan tacks on fees for
inter-hospital transfers on top
of the $245 to $325 fee for an
ambulance pick-up from
home.
In Ontario, the cost is typically much lower at $45 per
trip, but increases to $240 if
the receiving physician deems
it unnecessary. The reality on
the ground violates the spirit,
if not the letter, of the Canada
Health Act: equal access to
physician and hospital services
means little if safe passage to
them is anything but.
There are a variety of options
to reduce this inequity in access. One option is to follow
New Brunswick's lead and
offer full coverage. An alternative would be to only charge
users if the ambulance ride is
deemed medically unnecessary. However, differentiating
'appropriate' from 'inappropriate' ambulance use isn't
straightforward, and can vary
between providers. What's
more, evidence suggests that
institutions - schools, longterm care facilities, hospitals

and police services - more
often initiate potentially unnecessary ambulance services
than do individuals, as a result
of compliance with internal
policy or protocol.
As with other areas of healthcare, user fees are a blunt tool:
they reduce both necessary and
unnecessary use of services.
The risk of footing the bill
could deter people, especially
those living in poverty, from
calling for help. This would
deny them not only safe transport to hospital, but also the
initial emergency interventions
by paramedics that can mean
the difference between life and
death. Public education and
enhanced availability of primary care are more effective
ways to decrease unnecessary
ambulance use.
Ideally, ambulance services
should be fully covered for
everyone. This would, however, require provincial governments to take on more of
the costs. In Nova Scotia, that
cost is an estimated $9.7 million, according to the Nova
Scotia Citizen's Health Care
Network. This is a drop in the
bucket of the $6.2 billion Nova
Scotia healthcare budget; a
small investment to ensure
everyone, regardless of income, has access to vital emergency care.
The variety and inequity of
ambulance charges in Canada
is a policy mess. Canada's
Health Ministers should work
together to establish a consistent and compassionate approach that balances cost with
the need to remove barriers to
care.

This kid is depressed
by Melissa Friesen
I sat down with Ian McKay
awhile ago, around the time
we were having our false start
to spring and the air was
balmy and warm. It was kind
of an impromptu interview;
we happened to be at the same
place and I knew he had a
story worth sharing.
In the fading daylight of the
late afternoon, we sat by a
window, and Ian wheeled me
through the dark rooms of his
life. For the majority of his 23
years alive, he's been on heavy
doses of anti-depressants.
Eight months ago he decided
to quit.
When he tries to communicate what it's like to be depressed, the language is
jarring. "It's a labour to exist.
Your whole general being is
this idea that every breath you
take is this big ordeal; it's too
much for you to take. Even as
a child you just know that your
general existence is, just too
much. You feel like this
anomaly walking around like
it was never your purpose to
be alive. The moment you
wake up, it's work. It's like
going to work every day in
your worst imaginable state."
Ian was very young when he
started behaving irrationally.
Once, he hid from his parents
for hours under the clothing
racks at The Red Apple, unable to muster the courage to
move himself when they
called for him. He often kept a
bucket close by him for whenever he might get anxious and
throw up. He couldn't sleep
over at friends' homes, and
certainly couldn't play on any
sports teams. By the time he
was 7, he was suicidal.
And at the age of 8, when
kids are pretending to be superheroes and trading lunch
time snacks, Ian was admitted
into Health Sciences Centre's
psychiatric ward. He was separated from his parents for
weeks to rule out any abuse.
The final diagnosis would
prove to be shocking: depression.
After a litany of tests, he was
prescribed Prozac and sent
home.
But as Ian grew up, he became more frustrated with the
limitations of his condition
and started lying to everyone,
including himself. He tricked
everyone around him with his
hyper-exaggerated personality.
He's coined the term for this
behaviour 'Jim Carrey Syndrome'. "You try to match people in their happiness, their
outgoing behaviour, but you
feel very, very different. As
you grow up you learn to cope
and lie." Ian confesses that up
until this year, he's been
mostly lying to himself and
those closest to him. "You
don't know what to tell yourself, let alone anyone else."
His lying went so far as to
physically hide from his family and friends so that he
could retreat to solitude. "It
was just last year I would be
under the futon crying, pretending I [was] at work or
somewhere. I hid my car in another alley just so people
wouldn't know I was home. I'd
go into the garage. I would lay
in the freezing cold garage because [I] didn't want someone
to know [I was] having 'one
of those days'."
Unfortunately, 'one of those
days' came around far too
often for him. He's attempted
suicide at least once, contemplated it plenty.
In fact, if it hadn't been for
the persistent care of one of his
teachers, Ian might have given
into the temptation of suicide.
"Shane Beckett has probably
saved me twice in my life."
After getting into a car accident that nearly killed two of
his best friends, Ian lost his
emotional balance. He was
making arrangements to kill
himself when Shane called.
Ian couldn't bring himself to
pick up the phone, but Shane
left a message. "Hey buddy, I
know you can probably hear
this. Hang in there. Call me if
you need something. I'll see
you soon." It was simple and it
was enough to stop Ian in his
tracks.
"I listened to the answering
machine about twelve times
and bawled my face off. The
fact that someone sees a future
in you and says they'll see you
soon, that really makes a difference. All I want is to know
to that someone hasn't given
up on me."
Even though plenty of people, including Shane, hadn't
given up on him, it was hard to
grasp. It was especially hard
since Ian wasn't sure if he was
real, if life was real, and if
anything mattered. "There
were times I wanted to commit
suicide so bad it was like I was
in The Matrix. All that would
happen is that the rest of you
would cease to exist because
you're just a figment of my
imagination. So then nothing
really ends because I never really existed... It makes you feel
insane."
Seeing his grandpa, a paraplegic for 21 years and Ian's
personal hero, living a positive and happy life tortured
him. "I wanted to be like him
and I saw that it was possible.
But I was nothing like him. He
had everything against him
and he was happy. I had nothing against me, and I was mis-
Ian McKay
erable."
He recalled one of his darker
moments shortly after his
grandpa passed away. He had
switched to a new anti-depressant, making him 'feel' like
nothing more than a "perfectly good quality machine".
He couldn't grieve properly
and he hated that. After a
fight with his girlfriend he
was determined to escape his
numbness for good. He took
the propane tank off his family's new barbecue, stole a
stranger's sump pump hose,
and drove to his old elementary school in the country. "I
wanted to lose everything."
Before he had the chance,
someone pulled into the
roundabout and made him rethink his decision. "I was only
there for 2 or 3 minutes." It
was long enough for him to
play his grandpa's favourite
song and that's it. For a place
that doesn't see much traffic,

He drove to the hospital and
sat outside while he dialled the
suicide hotline number. He
was put on hold. It was then he
decided he would try to defeat
his depression another way.
Against the advice of his doctors, he chose to wean himself
off his anti-depressants for
once and for all. Although he
believed that he might be successful, it cost him dearly. It
was "the worst pain I've ever
experienced, mentally and

rigged and spasming." After
much excruciation, and desperate to speed up the process,
he secretly stopped taking his
dose altogether for 2 days in a
row. In addition to 'brain zaps'
which blurred his vision for
prolonged periods, he was "on
the floor. My muscles were
contracting. My spine felt like
it was getting ripped out of my
neck."
That was 8 months ago.
Following his detox was bit
of a "Now what?!" race to find
something that would give him
some stability. Trying different
concoctions of natural remedies and supplements became
an obsession. From St. John's
Wort, to 5-HTP, to high levels
of niacin and caffeine - he
could never find just the right
mixture to give him continuous
good days. After spending
thousands of dollars without
long lasting results, Shane
Beckett introduced him to the
Bulletproof Diet.
Since following a high fat ketosis diet, he's been officially
diagnosed with Celiac disease
(it runs in his family). Further
investigation led to the discovery that gluten was the culprit
all along, blocking the serotonin receptors in his gut.
The discovery is both euphoric and maddening. Euphorically speaking, simple
dietary changes have made
him feel "a million times better". Yet as grateful as he is to
have a solution, he can't help
but feel resentful at the last 18
years of anguish. He credits Dr.
Nugent for advocating for his
wellbeing, but he doesn't say
the same for all his physicians.
His perspective is that he was
too often treated as a puzzle,
and not enough as a human.
That's a hard pill for him to
swallow.
While his treatment wounds
still sting, it doesn't take any
urging before he adamantly
admits that prescription medication can be a useful tool in
treating depression. When he
speaks about some of his family he notes, "drugs saved their
lives." He knows that to be
true, even at times in his own
life. But there's a difference between being treated and being
alive and that's the line he
wants everyone to be able to
cross. Some of his most passionate advice is for people not
settle for the first answer they
get. "Happiness isn't negotiable
by a milligram dose." While
doctors do what is medically
sound, the onus is on the patient to trust their instincts and
create a discussion. "[You
have to] take action before the
action taken is ending your
life."
And no, that action doesn't
mean everyone should ditch
the meds and start eating
bacon.
Each recovery is unique and
multi-faceted. Another important part of Ian's recovery is
adapting to a new kind of treatment - cognitive therapy. He's
having to relearn the copious
negative habits he's gotten used
to. It's not easy, but it's no surprise that he's determined.
"My goal right now is to be
empathetic, be patient with myself, and eventually, aspire to
more - but more of who I am,
not more of what I want to be."
Part of that means facing the
consequences of his past actions. From 'manic decisions'
and reckless behaviour to
major debt troubles, destruction
followed him.
"I'm ashamed. I wish I didn't
run away from my responsibilities... It's really a challenge to
look back and realize [I] didn't
care about people and that [I'm]
not a good person. Deep down
I wanted to be, but I lied. I just
lied. I lied about how I felt,
what I thought about people,
what I was going to do."
Even though he doesn't get a
clean slate, Ian feels like he's
been given a new life, and it's
"vibrant, scary, and confusing."
It's as though he's living in a
new dimension; he's enjoying
babysitting his niece, having a
bank account with savings,
and even doing the dishes, like
never before. "I am blessed.
To have the capability to appreciate that now is the greatest
gift. I kind of feel like a dog
that was put in a pound and
then rescued," he laughs at the
analogy before continuing.
"I'm the best dog now! I'm just
so
happy
about
everything!"While Ian's story is
just getting good, for some people, things are taking a turn for
the worse. If we can use Ian's
story as an example, we should
know that depression doesn't
show off; it's often a silent
killer.
Ian was involved in noteworthy clubs and pursued excellence throughout high school
and beyond. Yet, he was rarely
more than a stone's throw from
mental instability.
Let us pay close attention to
each other. Let us leave messages on answering machines
and let each other talk. Let us
be honest and vulnerable and
let us not be so preoccupied
with the future that we miss
what's happening around us
right now.
Letter to the editor
Dear Jacquie and Staff
This is a break in tradition
for me, having never written to
any editor before, however I
felt compelled to respond to
your notice of the Westend
Weekly's 24th anniversary. I
recall some humble beginnings for the paper which
started with Ron McAlister,
Gary Kilpatrick and yourself
in Gary's garage. This same
garage was also the beginning
for a floral shop, the Village
Green. The start up of any
business is challenging and
your perseverance over 24
years shows true dedication.
This has truly been a district
newspaper with wide readership.
A free publication
which also offers a free classified section is only part of the
assets. The paper has always
supported and promoted the
district. During my service
with the OPP in Fort Frances
we attempted to promote programs within the school sector
and with the public. A call to
your trusty reporter of many
years, Marlene Deschamps, always resulted in her atten-
dance at an event. Pen and
notebook in hand, she was always willing and would feature the news, often in a page
long report. Your interest in
local development and the
farming industry was supported by features while the
local abattoir was being built.
So, congratulations on 24
years of business and accolades for the quality of service
the Westend Weekly has contributed to the Rainy River district!

Free skate with the Lakers
by Gord McBride
The Fort Frances Lions
Club has decided to join the
hockey frenzy rapidly gathering speed in the Fort
Frances area. The club has
announced a "Free skate with
the Lakers Hockey Team" for
Sunday, April 25th from 2 to
3:30 p.m. at the Ice For Kids
arena. Lion President Bon-
nie Penney said the hundreds
of fans who have been watching the Lakers from the arena
stands all winter will have the
opportunity to get up close
and skate with their hockey
heroes. The Lions will also
be handing out ice cream
cones (while supplies last) to
"all kids under a hundred."
Moms, Dads, Grand Parents
and Great Grand Parents and
kids of all ages are expected
to be on hand to kick off the
Dudley Hewitt Tournament
on April 28th. President Penney said it's an opportunity
for the Fort Frances Lions
Club to say thank you for the
excellent support it's been
given on its many community
projects

Coupons for cancer

The Borderland is coming
together to support a worthy
cause and there's still time for
you to be a part of it! International Falls' own Gracie Bahr,
13 years old, was diagnosed
with Lymphoma and she's
been battling in chemotherapy
since January of this year.
Her treatments take place in
Duluth, where she travels
with her mom regularly. As
you can imagine, the bills add
up. Since Hollie is taking care
of Gracie she's not been able to
work. Here's where you can
help.
Discover Borderland, in partnership with Snap Fitness in
International Falls, is donating
$4 from every coupon book to
help pay for travel and medical expenses. To make it super
easy, Snap Fitness is open 24
hours a day. So
even if you wake
up in the middle
of the night,
you'll be able to
buy a book.
Going across to
buy gas? Pick up
a book. Grabbing milk? Pick
up a book.
Maybe you don't
think you'll use
them all, but
your
friends
might. Grab a
book or two and
share them with
the people you
know. Snap Fitness is conveniently located on
3rd Ave., along the way to
Chocolate Moose Restaurant,
or Minneapolis.
The coupon book reinforces
local spending on both sides of
the border, gives you great
deals (opportunities to save
$150+), and will support Hollie Bahr as she cares for her
daughter.
As of last week, Gracie's
blood cell counts were too low
to begin her last cycle of
chemotherapy. Hollie was
hoping that the numbers
would change in the next couple of days. Thankfully, Gracie
has been feeling strong
enough to visit with friends
and even attend a yoga class.
On April 2, Hollie wrote, "Her
legs are wobbly today but she
doesn't mind."
Along with these gorgeous designs, there were also a variety
of goose Easter eggs. Talk about talent!

Celebrating Easter
Several church congregations gathered together at Bethel
Baptist Church for a Good Friday service.
The Fort Frances Choraliers, led by Diane Maxey, sang for
the Kiwanis Good Friday Breakfast.
Who's ready for an Easter Egg hunt? These guys! At 11 am,
the crowd started rolling in.
Kiwanis members worked hard before and during the event
to provide a safe and fun activity for the kids.
Better than finding an Easter Egg! Linnea Gerber peeks on
her little sister at the Good Friday Service.
Some of the members of Evangelical Fellowship Church
came out on Sunday morning to sing songs for all the folks.

Over the weekend and across
town, Easter celebrations
could be seen and heard. For
some, this weekend represents
cute bunnies and pastel
colours. For others, it's a good
reason to share a meal with the
whole family (and eat chocolate). For others yet, Easter
represents a significant moment in Christian history.
Jesus, the Saviour of the
world, is put to death on Good
Friday, and raised to life on
Sunday. The holiday itself
comes at a time when death is
passing into new life. As we
say goodbye (GOOOOOODBYEEEEE!) to winter and
beckon spring forwards,
Easter is a marker.
At the Kiwanis Good Friday
breakfast, Pastor Brian Keffer
shared with the guests the grief
that was to be felt on that day.
More over, that when grief enters our lives, as it does, we
should remember to be still.
When intimacy and love
leaves us speechless, there too
silence is necessary. He implored everyone to take a few
moments to be silent, suggesting that when we are quiet, we
give God the chance to speak.
He quoted Psalm 62:5 "For
God alone, O my soul wait in
silence, for my hope is from
him."
Likewise, other congregations gathered together in fellowship to sing, read
Scripture, acknowledge and
