Opinion: Clean energy promises can fuel Eby government's economic roadmapMajor medical and equity organisations are calling on Victoria's premier to provide greater rebates to replace gas appliances, flagging "dangerous" health risks. or signup to continue reading Healthcare workers and community advocates gathered on the steps of the state's parliament on Thursday morning to deliver a letter to Premier Jacinta Allan. The open letter was signed by 15 groups, including the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, Asthma Australia, and the Australian Federation of Medical Women in a bid to prompt the government to act. It urges the premier to implement an equitable electrification program, which would provide greater financial assistance and rebates for households to replace gas appliances with electric alternatives like induction cook-tops. Currently, rebates cover $140, which doesn't typically pay for a basic induction cook-top, leaving many unable to make the switch. It comes after Premier Jacinta Allan's ban on gas in new Victorian homes since January as part of the government's plan to reach net-zero emissions by 2045. However, the ban didn't apply to existing gas cooktops and she wouldn't be drawn on whether households would need to replace gas hot water systems or if heaters would eventually be forced to go electric. At the time, the premier said gas was a diminishing resource and households would be encouraged to replace existing appliances with electric. In their letter, the groups pin-pointed potential gas-related woes including asthma, leukaemia and climate impacts. Gas cook-tops increase the likelihood of children developing asthma by about 30 per cent, according to letter organiser Healthy Futures. Co-Founder of Healthy Futures and GP Harry Jennens said some Victorians are being left behind on the switch due to financial reasons. "We are particularly concerned about people on low incomes who might struggle to afford to retrofit their homes, and renters who have less control over their living circumstances," he said. "Besides the health risks, these people are likely to face increasing gas supply charges as other people switch to electricity and leave the gas network." Aadhil Aziz, Council Member of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Victoria Council also flagged concerns. "We know gas cook-tops pose significant health risks – they increase the risk of leukaemia due to dangerous toxins, and children developing asthma," he said.

Despite rebounding on Wednesday, the Canadian dollar continues to face pressure after U.S. president-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian imports. The loonie hovered around 71.10 cents USD in early-morning trading, reaching as high as 71.36 cents USD by 10:30 ET. However, some economists warn there are few reasons for optimism that the uptick will be prolonged considering the widespread impacts hefty tariffs would have on the Canadian economy. "It's going to lead to slower economic growth, possibly higher inflation, possibly higher unemployment and so, again, if you're looking to invest your money in any currency in the world, Canada doesn't look all that attractive," said Concordia University Economics Professor Moshe Lander. "When the demand for the Canadian dollar falls, so does its price." It's not a foregone conclusion that a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian exports to the U.S. will be put in place. Trump said the measure is meant as retaliation for illegal immigration and "crime and drugs" crossing the border. Still, the possibility of hefty tariffs has been enough to send the loonie on a downward trajectory. The dollar's five-year high came back in May 2021 at around 83 cents USD before tumbling nearly 14 per cent to just 71 cents USD. The Canadian dollar's five-year high came back in May 2021 at around 83 cents USD before tumbling nearly 14 per cent to just 71 cents USD. For Canadian travellers heading south of the border, the exchange rate is a bitter pill to swallow. "It's a heavy cost. I spent over $800 CAD to get around $500 USD so, it's a heavy hit," said Jimmy Hong who was flying from Ottawa to Las Vegas Wednesday afternoon. "We'll be going to maybe one less show, maybe watching our money on where we eat, specifically, because the dollar exchange is just way too much." It's a similar story for Nancy Quattrocchi, who was born in the U.S. but now calls Canada home. "I think it's going to affect probably how many times we visit the U.S. or any place that uses the U.S. dollar," she said. More aggressive interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada compared to the U.S. Federal Reserve has also impacted the loonie, but Lander says, tariffs would be a more significant gut punch. "If you're a Canadian business, you have three options at this point," he said. "One is, lower profitability, which could be the difference between being in business or being out of business. Lower pay for your workers and make them pay for the tariff in the form of lower wages or pass it on to your consumers and make them pay higher prices."

Records can be deceiving. Utah State is preaching that as they welcome Utah Tech to the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum Saturday night for a non-conference men’s basketball game. The Aggies and Trailblazers will tip off at 7 o’clock, and the game will be televised by KMYU. “We have to be ready,” USU head coach Jerrod Calhoun said before practice on Friday. “We had a good day of practice and need to follow that up with another one and be ready to go. It’s about getting better game to game and making adjustments.” Aggie guard Dexter Akanno had similar thoughts on Friday as well. “We always do a lot of film study, and we need to stay hungry,” Akanno said. “The coach and the whole staff does a good job of keeping us humble and hungry for the next game. We don’t take any game lite. All of these games really matter.” USU will begin Saturday as one of the last nine unbeaten teams in the country. Do the Aggies talk about that at all? “We haven’t really talked about it, but at the same time as a team we expected to be at a place like this,” Akanno said. “I don’t know if that means to be unbeaten. Every game that we go into we try to win and expect to win.” Sure, Utah Tech (2-8) comes to Logan after a 87-64 loss at Boise State on Tuesday. The St. George based school also lost at Wyoming this season, 86-69, and at Utah, 84-53. However, the Trailblazers should have beat Montana in Missoula, according to the Aggie coach. They lost to the Grizzlies, 69-66. “They really should have beat Montana at Montana,” Calhoun said. “The last 30 seconds, I’ve never seen a game, if you want to see an interesting ending watch that game. I don’t know how they lost. I felt bad for Utah Tech. I felt they outplayed them for 39 minutes.” The Aggies (8-0) are coming off a 70-67 win over Wyoming on Wednesday. USU has struggled of late to knock down shots. The coach said the “little things” that have added up, like missing layups. The Aggies have been playing solid defense and outrebounding opponents. “We did a tremendous job outrebounding Wyoming, that’s got to continue,” Calhoun said. “Mason (Falslev), Ian (Martinez) and Karson Templin was certainly one of the better rebounders. We do it by committee. We’ve got to continue to do that.” Templin leads the Aggies in rebounding at 6.4 an outing, and that is coming off the bench. Falslev is second on the team with 5.8 boards a game. Center Aubin Gateretse is third at 4.9. Utah Tech is coached by former Aggie player Jon Judkins. Calhoun faced the Trailblazers when he was at Youngstown State. “I have a lot of respect for him (Judkins),” Calhoun said. “They have played one of the best schedules in the country. Them coming into the Spectrum will be nothing new in playing a quality opponent. They have played everywhere.” USU will certainly have a size advantage was Utah Tech has started five guards at times and usually starts at leas four. The Trailblazers have some size on the bench, but those athletes haven’t seen a lot of time in games. “Boise State really tried to take advantage of that,” said Calhoun, when asked about the size difference. “I think we are going to have to do the same. I think we are going to see multiple defenses. This coach does a great job of playing man, playing zone, pressing. We are going to see different coverages and have to be able to adjust. “... I think they are a team that’s different than any we have faced because sometimes they play five guards. We have to take advantage of that.” Oddly, with so many guards playing, Utah Tech has struggled from 3-point range, making 27.6 percent from long range. Calhoun warns that the Trailblazers are capable of making treys. “We’ve got to do a really good job of guarding the ball,” Calhoun said. “And then we’ve got to do a really good job of dominating the glass.” Getting forward Isaac Johnson and Gateretse going is a focus as they will tower over the Trailblazers. That duo has not scored much of late after beginning the season in double figures. “The last 48 hours we have really talked about physicality,” Calhoun said. “... I feel we have gotten pretty good shots and need to continue to shoot those.” The Trailblazers are led by 6-foot-6 guard Been Riley. The Hawaii transfer is averaging 13.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals a game. Guard Noa Gonsalves is the only other Utah Tech player averaging double figures in scoring at 12.7 ppg. “Riley is a really good player, kind of a bulldog-type player,” Calhoun said. “I really like his game. Gonsalves is going to be their all-time leading 3-point shooter. He is a great scorer. We’ve to know where those guys are at all times.” Martinez currently leads the Mountain West in points (19.1), free throw percentage (93.2), free throws made (55) and 3-point percentage (45.5). Falslev ranks sixth in the league in scoring with 17.3 points per contest. They are the only two Aggies currently averaging double digits in scoring, but a pair key reserves are close in Akanno (9.4) and Templin (8.9). Gateretse is averaging 8.0. “I’m just doing whatever I can to help the team win whether it’s scoring, providing energy, rebounding, just trying to make the right play every time I’m on the court,” Akanno said. “I’m glad coach trusts me. ... I don’t care what position I play, especially in this offense. I want to do whatever I can to help this team win.” Calhoun reached a coaching milestone on Wednesday. In his 13th season as a head coach, Calhoun reached 250 career wins. “I heard from a lot of former coaches, assistants, managers, players and that’s what this is about,” Calhoun said. “You are involved with the team and it’s really not about yourself, it’s about we over me. There have been a lot of really good relationships built over 13 years, this is year 13, so I’m not there yet. ... I’ve tried to pride myself on treating people the right way.”
