What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

Northwest B.C. has tremendous resources and opportunities, but we have lived with the boom-and-bust cycle for generations. Major projects can bring jobs and investment, and I welcome responsible development, but I don’t believe our long-term future should depend on waiting for the next major project to arrive.

We need to build a more diversified local economy from the ground up.

That means supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs, encouraging value-added industries, expanding skills and trades training, creating conditions in which new businesses can afford to establish themselves here, and ensuring that working families can actually afford to remain in the community.

Housing is an important part of economic development. If employees, young families and skilled workers cannot afford to live here, it becomes increasingly difficult for businesses to recruit and retain people. As a builder and property inspector, I have seen firsthand how regulations, infrastructure requirements, approval processes and construction costs can make otherwise viable housing projects uneconomic.

As mayor, I would want contractors, developers, business owners, First Nations, educational institutions and other community leaders at the same table looking for practical ways to reduce barriers and create opportunities.

My measure of economic success would not simply be how much investment comes into Terrace. It would be whether that investment leaves our community stronger, more affordable and more resilient for the next generation.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

I am not automatically for or against data centres. I believe each proposal should have to demonstrate that the long-term benefits to Terrace and the region justify the resources it consumes and the impacts it creates.

My concern is particularly about scale.

Electricity, water, industrial land and infrastructure are finite resources. A very large data centre could potentially consume an enormous amount of electrical capacity. Before committing significant resources to one industry, I believe we need to understand what that could mean for other industries, housing, businesses and economic opportunities that may come along over the next 20 or 30 years.

I therefore support the City treating data centres as a distinct land use rather than simply allowing them under a broad industrial designation. But I would go further in requiring a transparent assessment of major proposals.

Before supporting a large project, I would want clear answers about its electrical demand, water use and cooling system, infrastructure requirements, permanent employment, municipal tax contribution, environmental effects, noise, emergency planning and who pays for any required infrastructure.

Most importantly, the public should have a meaningful opportunity to see that information and be heard before major decisions are made.

Data centres may have a place in our regional economy. But the question shouldn’t simply be, “Can we build one?” It should be, “Is this the best long-term use of these resources for the people who live here?”

Terrace residents overwhelmingly oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the conditions of apartheid imposed on the Palestinian people. Municipalities, businesses, and community organizations across North America are taking action to enforce international law where higher levels of government have failed by committing to the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge. Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

I believe strongly in human dignity and in the principle that innocent people should never be treated as less deserving of safety, freedom or basic human rights because of their nationality, ethnicity or religion.

The suffering of civilians in Gaza and throughout this conflict is deeply troubling. I support peace, the protection of civilians, humanitarian assistance and respect for international law. I also reject antisemitism, Islamophobia and hatred or discrimination directed at any people.

With respect to the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge specifically, I would want to examine the complete pledge and understand precisely what commitments the City of Terrace would be making before committing the municipality to it.

I would also want Council to understand which actions are genuinely within municipal jurisdiction and what practical implications a pledge could have for municipal procurement, policies and services.

I would be willing to have that discussion publicly and respectfully and to hear from people in our community, including Palestinian, Jewish, Muslim and other residents affected by these issues.

Whatever position Terrace ultimately takes, I believe we should be able to stand firmly for the dignity and equal worth of every human being while ensuring that our actions as a municipal government are lawful, transparent and within our responsibilities.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

Over the 61 years that I have lived in Terrace I experienced first hand the boom bust cycle in our region. This is due to many factors many of which are out of our control. Job stability is based on government and industry and trends in our national values and that drive how and what we do from one decade to the next. Our economic reactions are not an easily figured or fixed variable. My vision for our region is the preservation of what makes us unique - our landscape and resources require a stewardship mentality. Showcasing our region without harming it. Creating more opportunities for meaningful repeat tourism is a key component to this and comes with many levels of sustainable development.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

I am not sure at what stage the City is in this development but I am personally completely opposed to this for both Terrace and its region. If regulating is the only influence that the City has then this needs to be cumbersome enough that it would deter the project from moving forward. Terrace has a significant influence on the Regional District and some areas share the responsibility of care..like the airport. I would hope we can still come up with a better use of the land in question then this harmful plan. AI Data Centers are not good for our communities health or economy.

Terrace residents overwhelmingly oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the conditions of apartheid imposed on the Palestinian people. Municipalities, businesses, and community organizations across North America are taking action to enforce international law where higher levels of government have failed by committing to the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge. Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

The politics of other countries I believe is a very complex subject. Injustice unfortunately occurs in many parts of the world. By focusing on atrocities of other countries we sometimes cause our governments to become perceived as interfering which can harm our relationships with these countries. Better, I think to have good Canadian leadership that can build on their good relationships to influence them to change their treatment of their citizens. I would stand with the provincial and federal governments who have placed leaders in the role of ambassadors to these regions. In the hope that we can exemplify respect and care for all people. As we move forward in the next few days we recognize Reconciliation Day and are reminded that we have all made bad decisions over the course of our history. May we learn to forgive and move forward.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

I envision a city that grows with the change that is beyond our control. It’s a matter of preparation and acknowledgment that communities aren’t like jam. We cannot simply put it in a jar and expect it to stay the same.

Over time, our city has become a service center – there is no denying this. But we find ourselves scrambling to keep up with maintenance. We need industrial tax revenue and we need an extension of the RBA deal that has permanence and real value.

Concerningly, Im not clear on what shape that economic development (one that is long-term, sustainable and resilient) looks like were it a single thing. There are inherent trade-offs and considerations that have to be made when supporting any industry. The impacts on our community resulting from nearby industrial growth are evidence of this paradox.

For these reasons, one of my focus points on council will be to support RBA talks with the province, so that our community can adequately prepare for change, and lean into the service center role we have discovered. Simultaneously, we need to have some tough conversations with our community about where we (collectively – not just M+C) stand on the various trade offs presented by industrial development opportunities.

It’s not a silver bullet. But it’s a conversation that is essential to provide direction for this community’s leadership.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

This is a super tough question. I have spent too many hours reading about the different classes and types of data centers out there, trying to focus on the Canadian context specifically so as to avoid parallels with the nightmarish stories we are hearing south of the border resulting from the unbridled capitalism that has flourished in a highly de-regulated environment.

I think it would be folly to not have the conversations we are having at council. A regulatory component must be part of the approach. As in my previous response there are inherent trade offs that require discussion and I think that if we as a community that needs industry are signalling to industry, along with the provincial and federal governments that are supporting the development of data centers that we are outright against this type of development would ultimately impact our community negatively as well.

One thing that is difficult is regulating the types of data processing that may occur within these developments. AI data centers have specific limits to the amount of power they can access under provincial legislation. Data centers, by contrast, require less power. The tools in our toolbox can focus on these types thresholds and we can align them to the level of comfort the community voices.

Terrace residents overwhelmingly oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the conditions of apartheid imposed on the Palestinian people. Municipalities, businesses, and community organizations across North America are taking action to enforce international law where higher levels of government have failed by committing to the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge. Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

I appreciate this question, but I believe that – regardless of my personal beliefs – it is not the role of a municipal government to act, or opine on, matters of international law. The role of our communities as electors is to place their support behind representatives that can advance a response to this and other similar issues at the appropriate level of government. For me or others at this local level to say otherwise, in my opinion, dilutes the seriousness of these issues and the response to them.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

Investing in reliable roads, water, sewer and public safety; keeping taxes predictable, supporting local businesses, and making Terrace a place where families, workers and employers want to stay. We continue to lobby for regional industrial tax sharing through the RBA, especially with the imminent LNGC phase 2 FID expected in days. We are also firm about local benefits, meaningful taxation, lasting jobs, local purchasing and training opportunities, and genuine public support for industrial developments within the city boundaries. It is also important to continue our program of asset management so that reserves are available to renew infrastructure regardless for the economic point in time situation when renewals are needed

The City cannot eliminate every boom-and-bust cycle, but it can avoid making residents shoulder the risk with little return. We need to use the benefits of major regional development to strengthen the services, housing, infrastructure and local business base that will still be here when the next cycle changes.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

Your premises is somewhat flawed in that it reads that regulating means allowing under certain conditions. I oppose AI data-centres development in Terrace, including at the Skeena Industrial Development Park. For a detailed response please see my website: Jamesforterrace.ca

Regionally Terrace councillors and municipal directors at the RDKS have little or no say as we are not a party to the regional district planning function. If the Area C or E directors were in favour of a data centre and they secured the support of other area directors, we municipal directors would have no mechanism to prevent it just as an area director for Thornhill has zero authority over zoning in Terrace. This regional question should be directed to those candidates.

Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

I believe Terrace should be a community where everyone is treated with dignity and where discrimination and hate have no place. Not withstanding the suffering of civilians in Gaza and elsewhere, I would not support the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge.

International law, foreign policy and the conflict in the Middle East are matters for the federal government and international institutions and not a municipal council.

I do not believe a City declaration of this kind would give Terrace a meaningful ability to resolve the conflict, and it risks dividing our community and distracting council from immediate needs without producing a practical local outcome.

Intruding into the jurisdiction of higher levels of government undermines council’s credibility with those levels of government and risks diminishing our ability to effectively lobby for local issues.

My focus as a councillor is on the responsibilities residents have entrusted to City Council: safer neighbourhoods, support for housing, infrastructure, responsible spending and a community where all residents feel welcome and respected.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

The three main things I think are critical to achieving the “escape” you referenced is straight in my platform. First, we need a permanent RBA with the Provincial government to offset the effects of industry on terrace who doesn’t get benefit of the industrial tax based causing the effect. Second, we need to develop an industrial tax base so that we are taking the burdens of the city off the residents and spreading it across a new tax revenue. Third, we need to lean into tourism as an economic generator for all the local businesses that thrive off it. Terrace has so many beautiful features and recreational opportunities to offer.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

I personally do not think an AI Data centre, in the traditional sense, has a business case in the region. The main sticking point is that we suffer from internet outages regularly and there is not a redundancy route in the north. Nobody using this service would sign up without a service level agreement (SLA) which I don’t think a data centre could offer because of this. Theres also the questions of meeting the BC Hydro mandate of clean power which I’m unsure is available at the moment in our region and especially with all the major projection in the area. Third is I don’t think a Data centre will create jobs and so its just occupying space for someone else’s benefit.

I do think the council handled this the right way. From a city perspective we need to put bylaws in place to manage the city, including where different types of business go. From what I understand council enacted a bylaw that prevented Data centres from opening anywhere but the industrial lands. I assume this comes with a period of resident input as well. The city controls who we sell the land to as well up there and so council has control of picking who goes there. Council doesn’t have that control on lans they don’t own and ultimately manage through existing bylaws. This also means council has input into the projects that might impact our residents.

Terrace residents overwhelmingly oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the conditions of apartheid imposed on the Palestinian people. Municipalities, businesses, and community organizations across North America are taking action to enforce international law where higher levels of government have failed by committing to the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge. Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

I don’t think any reasonable person would support a genocide of any population. It’s important to speak up. I’m not familiar with the other municipality’s move in their declaration or the steps required. I would appreciate more information on this and encourage your group to become a delegate at a future council meeting so that you can make the asks you’re referencing. This is the way to make change any group ultimately wants.

I’d be more than happy to schedule time to meet for a coffee so that you could better inform me about the topic.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

You will never escape that, however, the city would need to look seriously at how they approach the development. Take all the environment issues, employment, feedback from the community, make sure the town has services such as medical needs, accessibility issues in place (accessibility is for all, and developments will stay here) and I could go on.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

NO DATA CENTRE IN TERRACE AND AREA AND NO DATA CENTRE AT THE INDUSTRIAL SITE. The city needs to regulate no DATA CENTRE ever in the area and that includes in the Skeena area.

Municipalities, businesses, and community organizations across North America are taking action to enforce international law where higher levels of government have failed by committing to the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge. Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

I don’t know much about it, however I feel our community should be apartheid-free. I would need to look into this. Everyone in this world needs to be treated with fairness, respectful. I mean everyone, the world will be a better place to live.

That is why I am running to make Terrace a better place to live. I was born here and raised here and I have made suggestions on a number of issues to City Council for over 39+ years. My suggestions were acted on and they benefited everyone.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

Well, to be fair, we need something economic and longstanding. We don’t have that here anymore. We used to have sawmills and other industry that can support our community. To say it plainly, we are failed by our location but we are also saved by it.

The Skeena Region is such a wonderful place for people to grow and start their careers, and it is such a beautiful reminder of small town communities. We lost that tourism boom and now we see people not visiting here, only for competitions or other things.

If we had more to offer those who are visiting, such as a variety of amenities, it would change how people would stay and view our town of Terrace. But again, we have to be real as well. Having projects in and around us helps jobs and hiring, but it also doesn’t help if we don’t see any of that money come into our municipality. We need to push for these corporations to atleast give us a hand too, instead of using our roads, our businesses and our people for work as well. Might be a bit altruistic, but at the same time, we are always on the hook for road repairs if we have larger traffic bursts because of bigger projects around us.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

AI Data Centers are useless. IDCs are what we need. (Internet Data Centers) that force companies like TELUS, Bell and Rogers, to provide us more redundancies. As CEO and Founder of Every-Day Computers, I have begged the CRTC to force another line from Terrace to Prince George. We have seen time and time again the cuts of our main line, and the susbequant damages it caused small and medium sized businesses. An IDC would not only decrease ping, but it would allow us to see more options from competing providers. We would also see another aggregate NG9-1-1 connection as well, with satellite backups if the line failed. We did see some mitigation in the last outage, but if we had an IDC, we would be good until the mainline was back up.

I am not for Isreal nor am I for Hamas. The people of Palestine deserve to be free, but a new government needs to come in and force Hamas to step down. Hamas is a terrorist organization, and I don’t support Hamas. Isreal had a right to defend itself, and now that mandate is over. Iran is in shambles, and the rest of OPEC are caring more for the Iran-US war than Isreal. The only threat Isreal has is itself. Palestinians do not deserve to be shelled constantly, but also, so doesn’t Isreal. The October attacks were horrendous, but now, we are seeing more and more human rights violations as well. The Vela incident just goes to show how secretive Isreal is, and how much it will do to hide it’s activities.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

As a small business owner working with local businesses, Indigenous communities and businesses, as well as commercial stakeholders across the pacific northwest, I have had the opportunity to learn about and implement sustainable economic development. A critical first step to sustainable, multi-generational thinking is community engagement; by hearing from those directly impacted by projects in the area, we are able to build with longevity and community benefit in mind. A second step is partnership and project identification. It is imperative to identify partners and projects that are not contingent on a specific “trend” that leads to high growth and investment followed by an economic downturn and job loss. Instead, we can look to sectors that are able to provide longer term sustainability and employment.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

We are early on in exploring AI data centre development and it is currently an area that has not yielded enough information for us to understand all potential impacts, both negative and positive, to the community. I commend the city on their direction to staff to draft zoning amendments that would regulate data centres independently of other industrial uses. This is a critical first step on exploring how a potential data centre would impact Terrace as it will allow the public to have a greater say. I recently listened to an interesting Ted talk, citing AI tech investment into sustainable home upgrades, solar, and battery energy storage as an alternative to data centres.

Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

Human rights violations are never acceptable and I am in full support of safety and security for every individual. My focus in this election is the City of Terrace.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

There has been a lot of industrial activity in Northern BC in recent years, and though it was hailed as an economic windfall the City of Terrace has ended up absorbing many of the costs of said activity. As a community we’ve seen rising costs of living, homelessness and addiction on the rise, and a municipality unable to fund essential services. This tells me that the current economic model is not working for the people of Terrace. If elected I would pursue an economic policy that plays to our strengths as a commercial and cultural hub for the region. Our community has untapped potential when it comes to things like tourism, agriculture, and green energy. Rather than going all in on industrial development at all costs we need an economy that is well rounded, forward thinking, and self sufficient. We need an economy that serves the people who live here.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

I am wholly opposed to the construction of any AI data centres in Terrace or the surrounding region. The negative consequences of generative AI are numerous, we are already witnessing it’s environmental impacts, threats to labour, and negative effects on the cognitive ability of students. AI software has been used for targeting civilians abroad, and there are numerous cases where chatbots have encouraged people to harm themselves and others. While there are legitimate uses for AI in the fields like medicine and coding, this technology is woefully under regulated and rapidly spiralling out of control. The proposed construction of an AI data centre in or around the Terrace area amounts to an existential threat to our community and our way of life and needs to be stopped at all costs. The current council’s approach of regulating AI data centres seems tepid at best, and at worst a cynical ploy to greenlight such a project once it’s successfully ticked all the boxes. If elected I would seek to impose a comprehensive ban on the construction of AI Data Centres anywhere in Terrace and put pressure on the regional district to adopt a similar stance.

Terrace residents overwhelmingly oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the conditions of apartheid imposed on the Palestinian people. Municipalities, businesses, and community organizations across North America are taking action to enforce international law where higher levels of government have failed by committing to the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge. Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

The ongoing genocide in Palestine is one of the greatest crimes of the 21st century and has struck a collossal blow to the concepts of international law and human rights. At a time where Canada’s own sovereignty is under threat it is more important than ever to take a stand against apartheid, colonization, and genocide. As such I fully support Terrace joining the likes of Burnaby and Powell River in committing to the Apartheid Free Communities Pledge.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

My vision is for a regional economy where families and local businesses can do well even when a major project ends or commodity prices fall. Large projects can bring opportunity, but lasting prosperity also means supporting the people and businesses that are here year after year. Some times, the City does not have say in surrounding projects but still have to provide the infrastructure to support the projects in other ways. Also, keeping outside companies accountable in hiring real locals to the area for upcoming projects should be priority.

As a small business owner, I know how much local purchasing, affordable commercial space, reliable infrastructure, and access to training matter. I would work with neighbouring Nations, the Regional District, educators, businesses, and workers to grow opportunities in trades, local manufacturing, food, tourism, and other sectors that fit our region. I would also ask how major investments will create lasting local jobs, contracts, and skills.

Economic wellbeing is about more than the number of jobs announced. People need housing they can afford, dependable services, healthcare, and a safe community where they can raise their families.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

I am not in support of AI Data Centres. I believe they are not worth putting our home and environment in jeopardy. Before the City makes a decision, residents should be able to see credible estimates of its electricity and water needs, permanent jobs, tax benefits, effects on local infrastructure, and plans for backup power and environmental protection. We should also hear from affected Indigenous Nations and ensure the public has a meaningful opportunity to respond.

Terrace residents overwhelmingly oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the conditions of apartheid imposed on the Palestinian people.

Would you support joining Burnaby, Powell River, and others in declaring our community apartheid-free and taking steps to make that reality?

I believe Palestinian people deserve freedom, safety, and self-determination. The suffering of civilians demands a response grounded in human rights and international law.

Yes, I would support bringing the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge before Council for public discussion. A declaration should be followed by a careful review of relevant City policies and purchasing decisions, with clear opportunities for residents to be heard.

What is your vision for escaping the boom-bust cycle and bringing long-term, sustainable, and resilient economic development and wellbeing to our region?

It is discouraging to see our economy always fluctuating. I believe we need to start in our town and community to find ways to keep our young people here. We need to support local businesses, find ways to help people who are coming out of high school and college to continue getting there full education here. Terrace is the Hub of the North and with the right direction and working together we could change the direction to be more positive. There are other ways but this is one way.

Where do you stand on AI data centre development in Terrace and regionally? Do you support the city’s currently proposed approach to regulating data centres? If not, what would you do differently?

I do not agree with having the data centre here or in any community within the Skeena District. At this point I can’t really give an answer to what I would do as I’m not familiar with all the facts.

Terrace residents overwhelmingly oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the conditions of apartheid imposed on the Palestinian people.

I don’t believe that any man or nation has the right to tell another person what they should do. I again don’t have enough knowledge or information on this subject but do agree with Apartheid-Free stand.
