 | Canadian North Canadian North and its founding companies (CAI, PWA, Transair, Nordair) have served the North for over 75 years. This airline, 100% owned by Aboriginals, is a striving healthy company that provides superior service to all northerners including the over 30,000 shareholders (Inuvialuit and Inuit of Nunavut) that own it. The airline was established in 1989 to focus on the changing air transport needs of northern Canadian communities. Canadian North was purchased from Canadian Airlines in September 1998 by Norterra, a wholly Northern aboriginal-owned holding company,[4] whose ownership is divided equally among the Inuvialuit Development Corporation, representing the Inuvialuit people of the western Canadian Arctic, and Nunasi Corporation, representing the Inuit people of Nunavut. In 2001, following the merger between Air Canada and Canadian Airlines, Canadian North became an independent airline. After two years of utilizing three different schemes (two from Canadian and one from Air Canada) the airline adopted a new image in 2003. Its logo displays three of the distinctive symbols of the North: the polar bear, the midnight sun and the Northern Lights.[5] Recently, Canadian North's slogan has been changed from "Your North. Your Airline" to "seriously northern" (all in lower-case), with advertising changed to reflect different aspects of the company (serious service, serious delivery, etc.).[5] In June 2007, Canadian North began serving the Kitikmeot communities of Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak, Kugaaruk, and Kugluktuk. As of 1 April 2008, flights began to 7 communities in the Qikiqtaaluk Region (Baffin Region) of Nunavut.[6] |
 | Canada's Next Great Prime Minister - Steven Jones ** Click "View All Comments" to see the comment threads** YouTube mixes everything up on the video page so click to view all comments at the bottom of the page and it all makes sense. My one great idea is to use clean energy technology to solve a variety of different problems. By taking a holistic approach we can get over the problems that plague the economics of clean energy when only climate change is considered as a criteria. My video outlines a very specific plan. Hello Everyone, This is my entry to CBC's Canada's Next Great Prime Minister Challenge. It was hard to choose a single topic but I decided to focus on clean energy production and how we can utilize it to solve many different types of problems. Please let me know what you think. Cheers, Steve Welcome Canadians, My name is Steve Jones and I want you to help me become Canada's next great prime minister. I'm 24 years old and my hometown is Courtenay, British Columbia. My one great idea is the Integrated Sustainable Energy Management Plan. Focus is critical to enable a country of only 30 Million people to be a world leader. The key to my plan is not to focus on a single problem but instead to focus on a particular solution that can be applied to many different problems. The solution is the use of clean energy production, including wind, solar, tidal, wave, hydro and geothermal. By using this solution to solve many different types of problems instead of just climate change, the economics will improve, we will achieve economies of scale and will develop world class expertise in this sector. The plan has four specific sections which I will now share with you. International Aid The first section of the plan relates to international aid and development. Electricity is the foundation that allows countries to grow and flourish. Electricity can be used to provide clean water, heat, refrigeration and communication. As Canada's current obligations in international aid are completed, new efforts will be directed towards the clean electrification of the developing world. The goal will be to direct 15% of the international aid budget to this task within four years. Health Care Any political leader in Canada today recognizes the increasing strain on our health care system. Investments from our surplus must be made to avoid huge problems in the future. Provinces are already discussing these challenges and I would respect their decisions. As Prime Minister, I would invest $300M investment in clean energy to reduce pollution caused by dirty power production. This will reduce future cases of asthma, cancer and other health problems. Transportation The third part of the plan revolves around transportation. It is clear that the future will include electricity as a major source of energy for transportation. This will be done through electric vehicles, plug in hybrids, mass transit systems and fuel cell vehicles using hydrogen created by electricity. It is also clear that our electrical system does not have the capacity to meet these new needs. Even if it did, there is little benefit in using electricity for transportation if it is created by burning coal. As prime minister, I would develop our electrical supply system so that we can utilize new transportation technologies with electricity generated from clean sources. I would do this with funding that has historically been directed towards subsidies for specific transportation technologies. Sovereignty in the North The fourth part of the plan is directed toward sovereignty in the North. Our presence in the North needs to be increased so that we can protect the land that belongs to the Inuit. One of the largest challenges of establishing and maintaining a presence in the North is electricity. I would open a specific grant program for individuals and communities in the North that wished to use clean energy. The funding for this program would come from existing budget allocations for increasing our presence in the North. Conclusion The solution to many problems in our country and abroad is a holistic approach to clean power production. The integrated sustainable energy management plan will help developing nations, ensure our continued economic strength and guarantee the health of our citizens and our environment. This plan is only one of the important initiatives that I would undertake. Thank you for the opportunity to present my idea. My name is Steve Jones and I want to be Canada's next great prime minister. Facebook Group: http://ubc.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6945512546 |
