		<title>Sunday, missing time to cause 23-hour day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s time to change the clocks again this weekend – forward, this time – and since we are likely going to lose some snooze, we may be shuffling around in a bit of a daze for the next week or so. This could mean that we are not quite as alert as usual when we get behind the wheel of a vehicle and there are crash stats to prove it. According to averages in a five-year study (2005-2009) done by ICBC, on the Monday following the springtime change, there were 850 crash incidents, compared to 690 incidents the Monday of the week before, a 23% increase.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[29 per cent BC Hydro rate increase a hidden tax on consumers: Macdonald. Tuesday’s BC Liberal budget contains an unfair and hidden tax on consumers by forcing at 29 per cent increase on BC Hydro ratepayers, says Columbia River – Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald. “The BC Liberals have found a new way to tax the average citizen that they hope you will never notice,” said Macdonald. “Buried deep in this week’s provincial budget is a requirement for BC Hydro, a crown corporation, to provide an extra $254 million to government this year alone, and the only way for BC Hyrdo to do that is to increase hydro rates.”]]></description>
