Smith says secession referendum will come in spring if fall vote supports it

Premier sets 2.5-month timeline to consult with First Nations if Alberta majority wants to go to polls on separatism.

CARRIE TAIT

Alberta will hold a binding referendum on secession early next year if the results of October's postmowing vote favour launching the process to separate from the rest of Canada, Premier Danielle Smith asserted during town halls this summer.

The Premier's timeline allocates about 1.5 months for consultations with Indigenous people, a window she said aligns with what Canada prevailed in for discussions over a proposed between pipeline to the West Coast.

Ms. Smith outlined plans for a binding spring referendum on secession in response to questions from United Conservatives Party members frustrated that the government's non-binding Oct. '16 question holds the separation can down the road rather than settles the debate.

Ms. Smith, speaking to UCP members in Lethbridge in August and in Red Deer in July said if the separatist talk wins the October referendum, she will hear First Nations communities in order to meet the legal requirement that they be consulted prior to a binding secession vote.

"I am willing to do the consultation. I am willing to take the months of abuse, going to every nation, holding town halls like this, and letting them know that we are going to go forward with it," she said in Red Deer, according to video of the event posted online. "I am willing to do that if Albertans give me the mandate."

Ms. Smith explained that she must consult with First Nations

before seeking approval from the federal government to proceed with a binding question. In Red Deer and Lethbridge, she said the consultation process with First Nations would take about 1.5 months in order to withstand court challenges. This, she said in Lethbridge, mirrors Canada's Na-ice French (BReC) consultation schedule for the proposed pipeline to the west coast.

The MPG did not answer questions about Ms. Smith's characterization of its consultation timeline.

Jurvorne Kitts, who works with First Nations groups as an advisor and negotiator, said Alberta's Premier is underestimating how long it will take to properly consult Indigenous people over the potential break-up of the country and how that would affect treaty rights.

The Crown is obligated to provide First Nations with a reason-

able amount of time for consultations, which is measured against the seriousness and complexity of the issue under negotiation, Ms. Kitts said.

"Separation is obviously the most serious and complex matter possible," she said. "The potential to undermine treaty rights as toate the highest level of scrutiny from the courts, and requires the highest level of consultation."

Drawing on Canadian precedent, including discussions preceding the paritation of the Constitution in 1978, Ms. Kitts said consultations on secession would likely take 1.5 to two years.

Ms. Smith, when speaking to UCP members and working under the assumption First Nations consultations would be completed quickly, said Alberta would ask the House of Commons to affirm its question in early 2027, clearing the way for a spring vote. In Red Deer, she said she would go to O-

tava in February or March, with the vote taking place in April or May. In Lethbridge, she accelerated this schedule by a month.

"We have to settle it before the next election," Ms. Smith said in Lethbridge, according to audio posted online and verified by a ten-hole Blaise Radhak. Alberta's next general election is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 18, 2027.

Ms. Smith says she will advocate for Alberta to remain in Canada and defends the referendum as an opportunity for voters to have their say.

Some First Nations in Alberta are restoring the separatist campaign, turning to the courts - and the public - for support. The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs of Treaty No. 6, Treaty No. 7, and Treaty No. 8 have called on the RCNP to investigate Ms. Smith for treason, accusing her of risking Alberta's place in Confederation and violating treaties.

Separately, Alberta Court of King's Bench Justice Shane Leonard as May struck down a petition aimed at triggering a referendum on separation. In part because the province failed to consult with First Nations on how secession could affect treaty rights.

Ms. Smith's government is appealing the decision. The Premier points to this decision to explain why the government put a non-binding separation question on the October ballot.

The question will ask voters to choose between Alberta starting in Canada and Alberta starting. "the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding previous to referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada."

Sam Blackett, a spokesman for the Premier, in a statement said the government "would forget the legal process under the Constitution to hold the binding referendum as soon as possible," should Albertans opt for the second choice in the fall referendum.

He did not respond to specific questions about the consultation process with First Nations, including what Alberta considers adequate consultation, whether it sought legal advice on what constitutes adequate consultation, and with whom it would consult.

Ms. Smith's office rejected the treason allegations from the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs.

"Accusing elected officials of treason is dangerous and unacceptable threats that only fuels division," Mr. Blackett said in a statement.

"We want to work collaboratively on a government-to-government basis to make our communities stronger. When the Treaty Chiefs are ready to do that, we'll look forward to it."

Ottawa fires back after rejecting U.S. trade deal

Federal government to respond with retaliatory levies on $28-billion worth of U.S. products

ASHAM MORROW WASHINGTON MARK KENDALL TOWNSEND BILL CANEY CITRARA

Canada and the United States are escalating their trade war after the countries failed to reach an agreement late Friday to meet new punishing tariffs on Canadian exports.

New 10-year-cent levies will hit around $10-billion worth of Canadian goods, which is roughly 5 per cent of Canada's exports to the United States. Ottawa has said it will respond with retaliatory tariffs on $10-billion worth of U.S. products.

In a statement late Friday night, Prime Minister Mark Caney said that Ottawa and Washington had made important progress in trade talks in recent weeks.

"However, that progress has not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians. In a result, this evening I have decided to suspend trade negotiations with the U.S. and have directed Canada's negotiations to return to Ottawa," Mr. Caney said.

He added that "last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, unreasonably, and called into question the retaliatory levies on $28-bill."

The failure to reach a deal amounts to a major escalation in a year-long trade war between the two countries.

Mr. Trump's threat last month to improve its price to Canada is an off switch of famous trade talks between Ottawa and Washington. The two sales were trying to reach a compromise where Canada would concede to a number of U.S. trade demands in return for lower sectoral tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobiles and lumber, as well as no new tariffs.

In return, Canada would have removed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. cars, allowed more American chores to enter the country and asked the provinces to rethink U.S. alcohol and end procurement restrictions on U.S. companies.

As a prime conference shortly before midnight on Friday, U.S. Representative Jameson Greer put the Maine on Canada for the failure to reach a deal.

"Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to rethink the two countries of any major exporter to our market, new demands and willfulness of other commitments by Canada have spended the careful balance reached in the past days," Mr. Greer said.

He said the deal on the table would have offered "significant tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber, in exchange for other concessions from Canada."

He added that the proposed deal would have included a "famous economic and national security partnership" and did not meet co-operation in aerospace and critical minerals, as well "the announcement

of formal U.S. Mexico-Canada Agreement negotiations."

The new U.S. tariffs will hit a number of Canadian manufacturing industries including, including electronics, paper, plastics and home appliances.

Canada's trade talks led by Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LaBlanc and chief negotiator Janice Chavela, spent much of Friday afternoon and evening bankrupt down with U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer at his office by the White House. Marc-André Blanchard, Mr. Caney's chief of staff, joined the group for the second straight day.

The two sides negotiated for much of 20/20 until Mr. Trump walked away from talks over an Ontario government anti-tariff ad last October. Negotiations returned to the spring, but the U.S. felt Canada was stalling, buying a weakening Mr. Trump would agree to a better deal, possibly after losing control of Congress in the midterm elections.

So, the President threatened the new tariffs last month and set an implementation date of this past Wednesday. Less than two hours before those tariffs were set to come into effect, Mr. Trump announced that a deal had been reached and postponed the levies for three days while details were completed.

One of the toughest issues at the bargaining table was auto tariffs. The U.S. offered to cutไก่作为 in per cent and maintain an exemption for the value of American content, while Canada pushed for all North American content to be exempted. Talks were further complicated by the

need to triangulate with Mexico, which is also negotiating a trade deal with the U.S.

According to three industry sources, the deal would have included a new space system that would have lowest tariffs on the metal in 10 cent from 10 per cent on the first 4 million-tonnes shipped to the U.S.

As soon as deal would avoid Canada accepting the end of the five-trade era with the U.S., which began with 1989's bilateral free-trade deal and continued with NAPS and USWCA, Mr. Trump's tariffs can counter to what he agreed to in the latter deal and Ottawa has ultimately opted to accept them in hope of negotiating their levels.

As recently as June, Mr. Caney said it was unacceptable for Mr. Trump to hurt Canadian industries with tariffs. "What we're not going to do is to accept a deal that damages those industries," he told reporters.

The Prime Minister would have needed the co-operation of provincial provinces to close the deal. He requested this work that they rethink U.S. alcohol, but it's not clear whether all provinces have agreed to do it. And one, Mandeville's Walt Kinew, this week said that making concessions to Mr. Trump gives up leverage before USWCA negotiations later this year.

"I just wonder if accepting the idea that Trump tariffs are here forever is the move where we wanted to give up some of that leverage," Mr. Kinew told reporters on Thursday.

"If we keep pushing, I think that we'd probably get more."

Call and make a car ban exposes cracks in premiers' 'Team Canada' approach

JEFF GRAY SUGGESTS FROM REPORTER

As the clock ticked on a trade deal to court U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of a new round of punishing tariffs, clear cracks between Canada's premiers and Prime Minister Mark Caney started to show.

As of Friday afternoon, Ontario Premier Doug Ford—normally vocal about the need to stand-up to Mr. Trump—had been complete to silent on whether he will accede to a request from Mr. Caney to end the previous 5 ban on the sale of U.S. alcohol at its liquor stores.

The premiers evidently refer to themselves as a symbol "Team Canada," and no recent words: Mr. Ford and the rest had mostly avoided criticizing Mr. Caney or his negotiators as they ended up their sleeves in Washington.

In a conference call on Wednesday about the talks, Mr. Caney asked premiers to drop their retaliatory bans on U.S. alcohol sales at provincial liquor outlets, even while any potential reduction of the tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber remained the subject of down to the wire discussion.

The receptive for the idea from certain premiers ranged from chilled to muted.

EC Premier David Dry—who was on vacation with poor cell reception and did not dial into the call with the Prime Minister—had not indicated whether the premiers would comply. (Alberta and Saskatchewan long ago dropped bans on U.S. house sales.)

Mandeville's Walt Kinew, in scrappy comments to reporters in Winnipeg on Thursday, suggested he would consider the Prime Minister's request, which he described as "a very bitter hugging."

But he encouraged consumers not to buy U.S.-made alcohol of it did return to dialysis. He said he believed Canada should instead "keep fighting," and that the upspender Mr. Trump—or "waste" being punished decisions in a few months. Quebec Premier Christine Fritchett said she could restore U.S. house sales, but only if the deal turned out to be positive for Quebec.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Nus suggested the house, withdrawn was outside the office, take advantage. And Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Tony Wakeham said on Thursday that all the premiers had agreed to stand

down "as a sign of good faith."

Mr. Ford has in the past called for tougher "dollar-to-dollar" responses to the U.S. tariffs hammering his province, home to most of the country's auto industry. And the Ontario Premier provides over the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, which is one of the largest buyers of alcohol in the world, and normally brings in nearly $6-billion worth of U.S. books a year.

But he has stood down on trade retaliation before, dropping a March, race, exchange on electricity exports with a 1% par a day after its imposition had attracted the air of Mr. Trump.

Veteran trade lawyer Lawrence Herman, a senior fellow with the C.H. Howe Institute, said he predicts all the premiers will swallow their pride and restore U.S. house to that 5-6-years-term shelves. But Mr. Herman said the provinces' house bans may have indeed been useful at the bargaining table.

"In some ways, that's a strength on our

side, because we can say, look, this deal isn't going to get the provinces on sale," Mr. Herman said. "My sense is, it we have gone about as far as we can go on the tariff side, there is not much that can be done by holding out on alcohol."

Carlo Fazio, director of the New North American Initiative at the University of Calgary's school of public policy, argued that having the premiers back down and drop their house bans is not much of a concession - as many Canadian consumers will likely lose their from U.S. products anyway.

"It's a bit of theatre with the American. It looks like we made a great concession. But what concession are we making?" he said, noting that even after Alberta and Saskatchewan put U.S. alcohol back on the shelves, sales are way down. "We've had a ban without having a ban, so there is no cost, money to ego. So we need to convince Eby, Ford and Kinew to lose the age, because there is no cost."

Here's how Trump's other trade deals played out

Britain, the European Union and others have already struck their own agreements with the U.S. over the past 18 months

JAMES GRIFFITHS ADA COMMISSIONIST PONG KONG

Over three months after his return to office last year, U.S. President Donald Trump tore up the status quo on global trade, imposing tariffs on almost every country in the world and scrapping long-standing agreements with allies and rivals alike.

Since then, the U.S. has been negotiating deal after deal, while Washington's biggest trading partners have had to grapple with the whipback of tariffs being introduced, overturned, unintroduced, negotiated away and reimposed.

For all his business of tariffs and deal-making, however, Mr. Trump's trade policy has yet to deliver its promised prosperity for America.

'Tariffs have not brought home manufacturing jobs and have not saved pressure around inflation, despite the administration's talking points early in 2025,' said Nick Marro, lead for global trade at the Economist Intelligence Unit.

Mr. Trump's tariffs amounted to an average tax increase of US$1,000 per household last year, according to the Tax Foundation, a Washington-based policy nonprofit. His policies have also slowed economic growth in the U.S., and wiped out hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Here are some key deals Mr. Trump has negotiated in the past 18 months, and how they've affected trade around the world.

BRITAIN

Britain was the first country to agree on a new trade deal with the U.S. after Mr. Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs of April 2, 2024 (which have since been largely overturned by the Supreme Court). The U.S. UK Economic Prosperity Deal, announced a month later, set a base tariff of 10 per cent, and a 20 per cent tariff on British steel and automobile imports past a certain threshold.

It also included language on economic security, a term often handled about by the

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, left, shakes hands with U.S. President Donald Trump after a trade deal announcement in Temborey, Scotland, last summer. JULIUS VON DER LEYEN/REUTERS

Trump administration, but one that has yet to be fully defined. Both countries agreed to strengthen cooperation on economic security, including by coordinating to address non-market policies of third countries,' a clause seen as referring to China, which the U.S. has long complained puts its thumb on the scale in favour of domestic exporters.

If London was seeking stability, the deal didn't provide much. It has language in it that states the deal can be scrapped by other party at any time, and Mr. Trump has repeatedly threatened further tariffs or a change in policy as he sought to cajole British support for his purchase of Greenland or the Iran war.

JAPAN

After the Liberation Day tariffs, Mr. Trump said countries were 'dying to make a deal' with Washington, indeed, many negotiations expressed frustration at the long queue to try to secure a new agreement with the U.S. before the new lesson came into force.

One of the countries first through the door was Japan, which last July secured a reduction in tariffs from 24 per cent to 10 per cent, while agreeing to improve market access for U.S. autos, energy and rice.

Tokyo also committed to invest US$100 billion in 'core American industries,' in projects personally selected by Mr. Trump, and agreed to greater co-operation on critical minerals.

EUROPEAN UNION

One of the most important trade deals secured by Mr. Trump came in July, 2021, with the EU, which is by far Washington's biggest trading partner when taken as a bloc. (Mexico, Canada and China are the U.S.'s biggest trading partners by individual country.)

Like Japan, the EU agreed to a base tariff of 10 per cent, while committing to address non-tariff barriers such as competing standards.

The EU also agreed to buy US$750-billion in American liquefied natural gas, oil and nuclear energy products, and invest US$500-billion 'across strategic sectors in the United States through 2025.'

The deal has been controversial over since it was struck, with then French prime minister François Bayrou calling it a 'dark day' for Europe. Even the Moo's top trade negotiator, Marco Schiavre, said it was 'the best we could get under very difficult circumstances.' After Mr. Trump threatened further tariffs as he sought to bully Don-

nath into calling Greenland, the European Parliament passed approval of the deal, but parts of it finally came into force last month.

SOUTH KOREA

Few countries were as taken aback by Mr. Trump's tariff policy as South Korea. In slapping Seoul with a universal levy of 25 per cent, along with further tariffs on auto and steel imports, Mr. Trump claimed South Korea had imposed 'outmost trade barriers' against U.S. companies. This was despite the fact of Washington and Seoul having a long-standing free-trade agreement, one that was actually expanded during Mr. Trump's first term.

On July 25, 2021, the two sides announced a new deal, whereby tariffs on South Korean goods would be reduced to the standard 10 per cent, and Seoul agreed to expand access to U.S. autos and accept American standards.

South Korea also agreed to buy US$10.2-billion in flowing aircraft, and invest US$100-billion in the U.S., spaced out across the rest of Mr. Trump's term.

CHINA

No country pushed Mr. Trump harder than China, which matched the U.S. tariff for tariff in a rapidly expanding trade war that, at one point, threatened to effectively discourage the world's two largest economies.

Both sides stepped back from the edge ahead of a meeting between Mr. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea in late 2021, and further progress was made during a visit by Mr. Trump to Beijing in May this year.

But while Mr. Trump claimed 'fantastic deals' had been made in the Chinese capital, the trade war détente is exceptionally fragile, and a comprehensive trade deal of the type that Mr. Trump has been seeking with China since his first term has yet to emerge.

Negotiators hope some kind of agreement can be struck during Mr. Xi's school, and visit to the U.S. next month, that this may not be so favourable to Washington, with Mr. Trump in a weaker position than ever, until the economic chaos wrongly by his Iran war. Not will China have been channeled by Mr. Trump's recent (false) allegations that Beijing cost him the 2020 election against Joe Biden.

U.S. proposed 15% auto tariffs would still harm Canada's industry, experts say

Americans' offer to reduce but not remove levies may push carnivores to slow or halt plant upgrades

ERIC AFRINS

TRANSPORTATION REPORTER

U.S. tariffs of 10 per cent on Canadian made vehicles would create automakers' profitability and spur the domestic industry's decline, experts say.

Canada-U.S. Trade Ministry Downes LeBlanc and U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer were leading calls on Washington that past week to address a loss of trade issues that include dairy, metals, lumber and autos.

During negotiations on autos, the U.S. officials to reduce U.S. tariffs on Canadian-made cars to 10 per cent from 10 per cent. The tariff would exclude U.S. content, but the two sides were haggling over whether Canadian and Mexican content would also be excluded.

Automotors experts say that a tariff of 10 per cent excluding only U.S. content would prod carnivores on Canada to low or halt plant upgrades and look elsewhere to build new trends in countries where they can taste a profit.

The U.S. content is a car assembled in Canada varies but is about 20 per cent on average. This would mean an effective tariff rate of 6 to 8 per cent, which is roughly equal to the labour costs of assembly and, separately, the margin of profit on a vehicle. That means the tariff would saddle carnivores with costs while hurting profitability.

"Some of these carnivores are now profit enterprises and so over the longer term, they fit and to look at Canada and think, 'where can we make more money?'" said Craig Nordau, an engineering professor at McMaster University and a former general manager of Toyota in Canada.

Peter Fries, an automotive engineering professor at the University of Windsor, said a 10 per cent tariff would drive up the costs of vehicles for consumers in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, while slowing investment in Canadian auto plants.

"It can't be seen as a positive thing," Prof. Fries said. "So an industry where profit margins are typically 6 to 8 per cent, 10 per cent is a lot."

Mr. Trump imposed 10-per-cent tariffs on Canadian-made

cars last year, using factors 20 of the U.S. Trade Exporters Act of 1956 and disregarding the United States House of Representatives.

He said the tariffs were designed to bring home U.S. manufacturing and repair jobs, while applying economic pressure on Canada as he pressed for annexation. He also imposed 50,000 per-tariff of 10 per cent on imported aluminum and steel, further driving up costs for U.S. manufacturing.

Michigan-based Anderson Economic Group estimates that the auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico cost U.S. consumers and businesses 1000 a billion, or even. That doesn't include levies on steel, aluminum or other products. "That's a burden that could fall or rise based on the results of this latest trade drama," said Patrick Anderson, the consultancy's chief executive officer.

Mr. Trump has also applied 10-per-cent tariffs on most cars made overseas. The tariffs have cost U.S.-based carnivores billions of dollars and spared them to shift production and boost U.S. content.

"That's what Trump said he was going to do," Prof. Fries said. "He's going to damage one economy to the point where it isn't our

tunable any more, and then he could take over. That's his goal. The thing about Mr. Trump is he usually tells you what he's going to do."

Ontario is home to assembly plants owned by five automakers, Honda, 1000MJ, Toyota, TW-8, Stellantis, VILA-X, General Motors GM-9 and Ford F.N. all of which rely on the U.S. for about 10 per cent of sales. The auto industry simply about 100,000 people in Canada, according to the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association.

In Ontario, the tariffs applied last year 100 for future of automaking into operation. One of the previous's largest cameras, Honda, derived its 10.6 billion electric car project. Stellantis owned planned loop production to Illinois from its 1,000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Toyota and Honda, which account for 70 per cent of Ontario's 1.1 million vehicle output in 2020, lack the capacity to expand in the U.S. for new and have held Canadian production and employment in the U.S. market. And even companies like Toyota and Honda, which have stayed pretty steady and consistent, will start to look askants."

Montreal police to get body cameras and new powers

ERICA MORRIS MONTREAL

Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada says police in the city will soon be equipped with body cameras and new powers to do their job.

Both measures are aimed at addressing some long-standing concerns about recent absenteeism between police and civilists as well as new allegations about police unscrupulous that rushed a station in a multicultural neighborhood in the northern part of the city. He major said as a more continuous.

Speaking alongside the city's police chief and the head of the police brotherhood, Mr. Martinez Ferrada said the city plans to adopt a new bylaw banning insults toward city employees, including police.

If adopted, the bylaw could give police new powers to issue fines for someone who usually them on another municipal employee, both sides are on place at that regulation including Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Oye, and Laval, Oye.

The Canadian Press reported in June that police in Quebec City hand out hundreds of these fines each year, and typically issue fines for one year.

A spokesperson for the mayor's office did not confirm whether those who break the bylaw could be fined or have made the same money to accept a bill be debated at council. The mayor said a motion will be tabled at the next council meeting, scheduled for Monday, and adopted in September.

Non-Exercised, the head of the brotherhood, said the goal "is not to hand out fines" but to "prevent violations of dignity and to avoid violent verbal exa-

sations." The brotherhood has been advocating for such a rule for over a decade.

"[Quebec City police] told us the only tickets that they give are to Montreal citizens because the Quebec citizens know right now that there's a bylaw and they have to act correctly," he said.

The news comes two months after police dismantled a six-member patrol unit at a station in the Montreal food neighborhood, following allegations of criminal behaviour and misconduct.

Mr. Martinez Ferrada stressed the bylaw is not meant to check the city from criticism.

"Mormulans have every right to criticise the city, challenge our

decisions, and hold us accountable. It is part of our democracy," she said. "The bylaw is about protecting the people who serve Montreal every day."

A debate around banning insults against police in Montreal was sparked in March after two of a man insulting a police officer with a barrage of monograms comments went viral. The man was charged with defamatory libel under the Criminal Code in July and pleaded no equity.

Police Chief Judy Dagher said on Friday that "freedom of speech is not absolute."

"You want the city whatever you want wherever you want," he said.

Lawyers and civil rights

groups have said they worry that adopting such a bylaw could lead to absent of power by police. They also say it could encroach on Charter rights such as free from its expression, dignity and privacy.

"I know that is something that worries many community organizations and insulated people," said Mr. Martinez Ferrada. "We will monitor this very closely."

A spokesperson for Montreal police said in an email that in legal affairs department will "conduct a detailed analysis of the regulation and provide paid and a public officers on its implementation."

Mr. Martinez Ferrada and Chief Dagher both said they are

dedicated to rebuilding trust between police and Montrealers through the new bylaw and by existing to sell out both cameras within a year.

Police work is becoming increasingly complex, said Chief Dagher, and that cameras "help effectively disconnect police, intervention, police interaction and promote a better understanding of events."

"We have observed in recent years an increase in situations that are more social, in nature than criminal," he said.

The Quebec coroner released a report earlier this week urging Montreal's government to adopt body cameras after the death of 10-year-old Khmer Coss. The report said police and witness accounts of officers' brib a visual loading up to Mr. Coss's death difficult significantly and that cameras would increase accountability.

Mr. Martinez Ferrada's administration camouflaged 10,000 million people to come on in the hotel. He said that the mayor has said she needed co-operation from the provincial government to ensure footage can be submitted as proof in court.

He said Friday's announcement aims to promote the government to move on the road.

"When asked if she believes body cameras will be enough to restore public trust in police, the mayor said 'the answer is no'."

"There's much work to be done and many conversations to have," she said. "This is one of the tools, but this is not the magic is not. It's going to take time."

But he's responsible for public security at the city's executive committee, say that it will also review police stop practices.

accuses man of helping dozens enter Canada

CBSA alleges Abul Kasim illegally assisted 65 people using false passports

MARI WOOJ OTTAWA

Charges have been laid against a Montreal-based immigration consultant alleged to have helped dozens of people enter Canada illegally, including through the use of false passports.

The Canada Border Services Agency alleges that Abul Kasim, 42, helped 65 people enter Canada by providing false information on asylum claims and visa applications.

He is also alleged to have used four fake Canadian passports in support of visitor visas, fraudulently improvisating loans in invitation letters to come to Canada, according to the CBSA.

The agency said Mr. Kasim had presented himself as an immigration consultant working for a firm with offices in Canada, France and Bangladesh.

He is not licensed to operate as a paid immigration consultant or listed as being registered with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants, which regulates the profession. The firm that he worked for was also not recognized by the college, CBSA said in an a-mail on Friday.

However, some newcomers have used 'gloves' consultants, who charge for advice to Canada and abroad on immigration matters without being licensed to do so.

CBSA said in a statement on Friday that Mr. Kasim faces five charges, and is believed to have left Canada.

Among the charges he faces are facilitating the illegal entry of persons into Canada, counselling or assisting persons to provide false information in visa applications, and conspiracy to facilitate the illegal entry of persons into Canada. He has also been charged with using falsified Canadian passports, and using passports while knowing they were forged.

Some of the charges, which followed an investigation by border officers based on information provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada in 2012, have been proven in court.

Proceedings were initiated at a Montreal courthouse against Mr. Kasim on July 18. But since he could not be served with a summons, a warrant has been issued for his arrest, the CBSA said in the statement.

Between January, 2010, and March, 2012, Mr. Kasim is alleged to have helped 65 people provide false information in applications for visitor visas and in asylum claims. He is also alleged to have arranged the entry into Canada of 52 people using fraudulently obtained visitor visas, enabling them to settle permanently in Canada.

People who enter the country using false documents, or who are discovered to have deliberately falsified immigration applications, or to have had to the immigration authorities can face deportation.

'Canada welcomes people from around the world through an immigration system built on fairness and integrity,' Public Safety Minister Gary Anandzangare said in a statement on Friday. 'Those who seek to circumvent the rules or exploit the system may face serious consequences.'

Man arrested after two injured in stabbing at Edmonton Sikh temple, police say

NATION SCALE

Edmonton police say two Sikh worshippers were injured after 3 man ordered a temple on Friday and stabbed them with a screwdriver. Charges are pending against the suspect.

Police say the accused was released from federal prison the day before, and investigators, including members of the hate crimes unit, are working to establish what motivated the attack.

The confrontation at Nanakuar Goohoara Gorshkh Temple high posed around 1 a.m. on Friday when a crazed old man was arrested by staff when he attempted to access the prayer area.

The man attacked two male worshippers, aged 61 and 70, when the confrontation ended, while two others in the Sikh temple intervened to restrain the man. The two victims were treated with even life-threatening injuries, and the accused was directed on to hospital.

Zora Gowal, the temple's vice-president, said witnesses told him that our victim was called to live and that both are recovering.

'I don't know why he came in here,' Mr. Gowal said in an interview Friday, number 1st sample. 'We are not involved in any politics and this temple is only the prayer and peace of mind for everybody.'

The accused will remain unnamed until charges are officially laid.

The accused had been released from a federal institution on Thursday, roughly six months into a 6-month sentence for aggravation of assault and assaulting a peace officer, police chief Maroon Dinechelaudi. He said the man had no reported to the halfway house he was responsible, denied, and investigators are looking into his mother.

Staff Sergeant Zira Stewart said the man has a 'significant history of violent offences dating back to 2012.'

The World Sikh Organization of Canada said in a statement that it is 'deeply troubled' by the incident and said it involved the destruction of 60 Canu Ganjib Subhili, the central body scripture of Sikhism. Mr. Dinechelaudi investigators were looking into potential damage to the scripture.

'We are deeply troubled by

that has happened at Nanakuar Goohoara this morning, but unfortunately we cannot say that we are surprised.' Danish Single-procedure of the WHO, said in a statement.

'We have been warning for quite some time that anti-Sikh hate is rising in Canada and that, if it is allowed to continue unchastised, limited theories can translate into threats and actual violence.'

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, in a statement, discovered the violence and said the attack underlines the importance of bail and parole reform.

'We stand with the entire Sikh community across our province against recent acts of separable violence over the last few days,' Mr. Smith wrote.

Six days before the attack, two Sikh temples in Calgary reported threatening phone calls. No arrests have been made. Calgary police told The Globe on a Friday statement.

Also last week, a member of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a prominent separation group, said while standing at work, that was independent Alberta, 'every citizen has the right to life, liberty and security to the person - your own security, not some. The disastrous headed police officer who doesn't even speak Canadian.'

The Prosperity Project, the next day, said the speaker, Ian Parkinson, had resigned from the organization and would no longer appear at the event.

Governments and police agencies' attempts at responding to

hate crimes have, at times, provided better lights over freedom of speech and religious freedoms over the past year.

BBC 6, a federal anti-hate law, passed its final parliamentary stage in June, but not after facing staunch opposition from Conservative MPs and religious groups who warned certain provisions could lead to people reading from religious texts being prosecuted for hate crimes.

In Alberta, Mr. Smith and scores of cabinet ministers criticized Edmonton police earlier this month for a social-medic post encouraging residents to report hate crimes to police.

'Two Speech is a foundational Alberta value. We don't believe in policing unpopular or religious-based statements even if they are controversial,' Mr. Smith wrote on social media on Aug. 2.

The said Alberta Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis would be writing to policing agencies 'to ensure they understand Alberta's policing priorities should focus on violent crimes, illegal drugs, theft and vandalism - not people's face-spaces.'

On Friday, Mr. Dinechelaudi, Edmonton's police chief, declined to address the government's criticism but stood by the police force's campaign to address hate crimes. 'We want people to report things so that when they see it, we can investigate it, determine if it's a crime and proceed with an investigation,' he said.

LINDSAY CLANCY'S DEFENCE RESTS ITS CASE IN MURDER TRIAL AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF TESTIMONY ABOUT HER NENTAL STATE

FOR YOU: The defence rests its case Friday in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial after eliciting several days of testimony about her mental state before and after the strangled fear three young children.

Prosecution then began calling rebuttal witnesses in the trial, which is likely entering its final

days. Closing arguments are expected next week.

Ms. Clancy, pl. has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the deaths of her children Callan, Dawson and Cara Clancy, who ranged from eight months to five years old. They were found in the basement of the Lindsay's home in council Deesbury, Mass. Ms.

Clancy jumped from a second-storey window after strangling the children and remains punished from the waste down.

Prosecution argue that Ms. Clancy, a former labour and delivery nurse, planned the killings.

Ms. Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, hasn't disputed that

she killed the children but says she should not be held crime really responsible because she had postpartum psychosis, a sure mental illness linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth.

He sought to bolster that defence by having the jury hear

from most of Ms. Clancy's family members, who detailed her worsening mental health and attempts to fix it through psychiatric treatment and medications before the January, 2012, killings.

Prosecution say Ms. Clancy wasn't suffering from psychosis or bipolar disorder. ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pornotope grapples with nuclear reactor plans

Town is already one of the most contaminated in Canada where it comes to low-level radioactive waste

MARK HANNAY CITY HOPE, DIST.

When the Ontario government announced plans earlier this year to have what could become one of the world's largest nuclear power plants in a picturesque community of roughly 10,000 people, the new name occupied the name of celebratory speeches.

The province's energy minister, Stephen Lear, built in the project as 'another positive step' to send a secure energy future, while the local mayor said it would help when as a 'strongly and more resilient future' not only for the community about its kilometers out of Toronto, but for the entire province and country.

Though the more was welcomed by some, it decided a generation of Port Hope residents will enough to have lived through the community's hospital history with the nuclear industry, a legacy that proved more successful and public properties to this day.

"I personally was outraged when I heard this announcement and started offended at one of the most kind up-days, making this announcement as if this was good news about Hope West, a 75-year-old resident rafting up-province in the project in the community.

The community's built 'invisible' to about 80 years in the main lot of the operation of these plants' and is finding the same once again as the province forges ahead with the new project, Ms. More said in an interview.

"It has been almost a century ago, with little difficulty in developing, which later became a Crown corporation, opened a radiator or heavy plant in Port Hope in the 1920s. The company suddenly became a major businessman about a decade later, one that was once considered a waste product was so demand. The plant began refining operations instead, supplying the material to the United States military during the Second World War where its own industrial the Manhattan Project, the U.S. government program that produced the first atomic bomb.

Over several decades, the plant being a mechanically active site and building materials across Port Hope, the materials were used mainly in the US, but also in the construction of parks, roads, schools and homes - including for home where Ms. More gave up the project, and the later raised a family of her own.

In 2020, the federal government signed an agreement with Port Hope and nearby Charington, controlling in cleaning up, solar, and maintaining the historic, low-level radioactive waste that contaminated the region.

The project, known as Port Hope Area Initiative, is being implemented by the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, which is taking an historic waste into on behalf of

David Brand, left, and Faye More stand outside the house where Mr. Erland and his partner has a Port Hope, Dist., at 2006. The property has undergone cleanup for local mazes, toward various U.S. countries (1921).

The Crown corporation Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.

The provincial's overall comment on things of the new nuclear power project is assuring our future that the sector operates much differently than when it was in its infancy.

"India's nuclear industry operates under one of the world's most rigorous regulatory frameworks, with stringent federal oversight governing over-signed nuclear plants, and the overall protection and waste management," said India's spokesperson for Ontario Power Generation, said in a statement.

"It's has owned the land for more than 50 years specifically for the purpose of electricity generation, the statement said. The new plant would support more than 10,000 jobs across the province and contribute about 10.5 million in Ontario's GDP over its lifespan," said.

Once up and running, the new could provide up to 10,000 megawatts of power generating capacity according to Ontario Power Generation's project description, which would make it the world's largest nuclear power station. For comparison, Bruce Power's eight reactors in Kincardine, Dist., provide a about 1,000 megawatts.

The province has said that 1978 hopes to receive construction and operation licenses for the Port Hope project in the scope and be an operating in the state.

Port Hope National Park, Harkivsky has also found the project, stressing that the ongoing cleanup and the proposed nuclear site in the municipality's Wickeyville neighbourhood are separate initiatives.

"While both subjects relate to the nuclear sector, they involve fundamentally different circumstances, timelines and regulatory frameworks," she said in a statement.

"The cleanup" addresses a 10,000 bays shuffling, whereas a new nuclear project would be designed, constructed, operated and regulated under today's world leading standards from the market," she said.

That view was shared by Chris

Hakolomson, the acting health physics director at McMahon University. He said Canada is managing and controlling radioactive waste based on robust national and interstate and standards that are constantly being reviewed and improved.

He said while low-level radioactive waste has a low hazard potential, it is being cleaned up at Port Hope because it 'slightly' extends the criteria for 'unconditional security and the state's(q) steps for formal regulatory by time for the waste to be possessed, used or transferred.

"The risks associated with radioactive materials and exposure to radiation from these radioactive materials is extremely low, he said in an interview 'I say there's a lot of control in place even for those risks that are extremely low.'

On the proposed nuclear plant, he said the benefits 'be outweigh' by potential safety risks.

Those assurances haven't reaped either.

The municipality is already home to two nuclear operations on top of the decades-long remediation project, Ms. More said, another nuclear plant is not welcome, she said.

The community is being 'treated like [it's] expendable' in the government seeks to expand nuclear power generation, Ms. More said. 'But the people here have been exploited and they have been the piece of this and we say no more.'

To many, the new power plant may seem like a dose dead, but Ms. More and several other residents who oppose the project said they are optimistic that of best will bear fruit.

Ms. More, who heads a local committee focused on reducing concerns, said the group will keep coming awareness of the project as well as lobbying the government to reverse its decision.

In June, she sent a petition to Canada's auditor general, seeking protection under the contract to National Strategy Reporting for Governmental Reason, and Environmental Justice. She said, according to the federal govern-

ment, arms to promote efforts to recognize and address the 'costs' by inequalities faced by indigenous, insulated or otherwise marginalised communities' when decisions are made about the entire project.

Consolidation on the draft strategy closed Aug. to and this 6-out version is expected to be tax liabilities of $1.5M.

Turning to the courts could allow the options, Ms. More said.

The number of households, and the proposal is still in the early stages of review, with a 'couple-honors' assessment looking into its environmental, health, social and economic impact, as well as how it could affect Indigenous people.

"We are committed to ensuring local waste help inform the municipality's position as this process unfolds," she said.

Port Hope is one of the most contaminated towns in Canada where it comes to low-level radioactive waste, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission says the bulk of these people's there and in nearby Charington.

The 2nd-billion cumulative plant currently under way is 'pretty much the largest environmental cleanup that's ever been an indication in the country,' said Hill, fully the director of communications for the Port Hope Area Initiative. No organization behind the cleanup and long term monitoring project.

The 1st-billion cumulative plant currently under way is 'pretty much the largest environmental cleanup that's ever been an indication in the country,' said Hill, fully the director of communications for the Port Hope Area Initiative. No organization behind the cleanup and long term monitoring project.

The process to cleanup an industrial property can take several years from start to finish, he said. 'It's true... that is every damaged project for people to do and we empathize with that.'

About 1,000 people have being worked earlier this summer, he said, including a sprawling landfill where workers loaded a truck with dirt on a runny day in June.

At the time, several private properties and fenced-off problems displayed upon the road. 'Tranger due to open excavation.'

One of these was the home where David Erland and his partner Eric Tite property's backyard shed and where the project was clean, he said. On their front lawn, a sign declared: 'World's largest nuclear station! Not to our Northumberland.'

Like several others in the investigation, Mr. Erland said the cart latrines were not to be used in the chosen to house a nuclear reactor.

The town couldn't be lost that just while this remediation is being undertaken on our property, even keeping a lot of government now wants to build the largest nuclear power plant in the world in this area," the 46-year-old said.

The work on his partner's property began last September, and he said to its finish by early fall, he said.

For some residents, the process has stretched much longer.

Autumn Woolsey said she and her partner, who gave enough a long and painful style of testing remediation and assistance on their property.

This summer has been the first summer in eight years that we have not had anything going on," she said.

No health monitoring was conducted in that time, even after Ms. Woolsey repeatedly asked for it, she added.

Ms. Woolsey, who fiercely opposes the new reactor, said she's fighting for better generation.

"I can't change what has happened and what we've been co-possibly, but if it can advocate and take for my children, those risk factors that are not good, my mission is in life," she said.

"It's not even in how to avoid many that has suffered for decades and finish the we're going to be happy to hear about this."

For roughly 60,000 people in Canada, the world's largest nuclear power plant is being used in the country. The world's largest nuclear plant is now a large number of people, and the world's largest nuclear plant is now a large number of people, and the world's largest nuclear plant is now a large number of people, and the world's largest nuclear plant is now a large number of people, and the world's largest nuclear plant is now a large number of people, and the world's largest nuclear plant is now a large number of people, and the world's largest nuclear plant is now a large number of people, and the world's largest nuclear plant is now a large number of people.

Over the last several months, Ms. Southhope has been knocking on neighbours' doors, talking to politicians and leading experts, and said she's not all talking, copious notes - all aimed at preventing what seems to be the inevitable.

"The only way to run a Justice for the Public Knowledge and the voices of people," she said. 'In 2007 we cannot educate people and let them know why we don't want this, it will happen because [for] most people, it's out of sight, out of mind.'

Recueers save caver trapped vertically in 'Psych Squeeze' using new tech

DARRY L. GREER

A caver has been rescued after being trapped underground at the Raft Ward (one in Common, Ally, in an operation that deployed—a native built underground radio technology for the first time.

Vacels and转体 filters said the man became potential a right spot known as the 'Psych Squeeze' around 10.30 a.m. last Saturday.

The Alberta/BC Cave Rescue can view a third in, and humorous drills were used to remove rock. The cavers who was trapped vertically, was saved out in a process measured in 'You'll get loose'.

"Cave rescues are very rare and it's even sure to have to have a few more than 10,000 people spun and can't lose themselves," said Christian Steiner, provincial co-ordinator with the Alberta/British Columbia Cave Rescue Services, who said.

According to the Travel Alberta website, Raft, West is Canada's fourth-largest caver. The website says it is only accessible through a guided tour, and features 'incredible' sight passageways - with name and location, and a family's Check Another passageway has a 20-metre signal.

Mr. Steiner said the caver made his way a few hundred metres into the cave, the said it was to turn an area where you can walk upright to spots which can escape crawling on your hands and leaves.

Mr. Steiner said the cave was

The man was found around 10.30 p.m. and he finally emerged from the cave around midnight, after an operation starting 15 over 100 meters. Firefighters and two handwashers Mountain rescue members.

"I think he was pretty relieved. In the end he didn't require to go

to hospital or anything - it was not that physical entrapment. Once he was freed from that he was not the aftermath of the end, and tired because being trapped for many hours and trying to move exerts a lot of energy," said Mr. Steiner.

"I don't know if there was a chest that certainly some relief and happiness."

Mr. Steiner said a new radio that transmits signals through rock was used in a fire operation for the first time.

The technology was developed by members of Alberta/BC Cave Rescue, which is part of Search and Rescue Alberta, in response to the difficulty of using traditional communication methods like internet, radio or GPS underground.

"The ultralow frequency radio were it so wide it can penetrate through material like rock. It can go up to a half-dollars per hour. The wave from a regular radio signal or a cell phone to such a narrow wave that who it hits material ... it gets blocked," he said.

It allows users to text through the dense rock and the feature of the wave, which is very doing through the in-trust quicker.

"If you have to work in a process to come out of the cave, left the

commander what the status is and then you have to send a person back into the cave to send the message to it or to get the services that they need, it's time consuming, So, to have the way to come maniacation almost instantaneously cuts down the time," he said.

Work on the technology has been underway for years and this was its modern voyage. Mr. Steiner said that because cave rescues are rare, the radio-factored actually been deployed on a fire rescue. The latest version of the hardware was only one of the most 'it worked for directly. We couldn't be happier.' Mr. Steiner said.

Mr. Steiner said the radio tech has already drawn interest from cave rescue groups around the world and found how other race or application of the events including some cave-ins.

John Alexander, the City of Search and Rescue Alberta, said the Raft West rescue 'is a display of the latest wave, and it's a well-credibility emergency response agencies come together to collaboration, and of the incredible in operation and initiative taken by our cave volunteers search and rescue professionals who defy the unanswered information every day, so others may live.'

Anti-tobacco groups push for smoking ban in national parks

Seven organizations say more would help reduce wildfire risk.

MATTHEW FRANK

Anti-tobacco advocacy groups are calling on the federal government to ban smoking in national parks to reduce the risk of wildfires and prevent their from cigarette butts. The Canadian chapter of Action on Smoking and Health is among seven organizations that signed a letter to Environment, Climate Change and Nature Minister Julie Dalmotte earlier this month, arguing that a smoking ban is needed in national parks, barren, and sand cementation areas to protect the environment.

The group's executive director, Les Hagen, said the federal government must act quickly as climate change makes conditions worse for wildfires.

"We continue to struggle with more and bigger wildfires (will, how?) a measure that's absolutely free of charge that doesn't require any firefighting equipment or resources that the government can implement immediately," he said.

Ms. Dalmotte wasn't available for an interview.

Public Canada follows provincial, territorial and municipal laws when regulating tobacco use in national parks, ministerial spokesperson Kieran Neubhardi said in an e-mail. He said that aligning with those regulations helps visitors have consistent rules to follow.

The project wildfires season is on track to the fourth worst on record in Canada because of high temperatures and dry conditions.

Wildfires in British Columbia triggered a

provincial state of emergency last week after a fire in the Okanagan region forced access to fine-fired homes. Here is how the emergency system is to increase "costs" and match of the province and large areas of the United States with thick orange smoke, forcing multiple Indigenous communities to evacuate.

A non-study from University of the Fraser Valley found that 15 per cent of outdoor fires in Canada from 2011 to 2015 were caused by smoking.

Mr. Hagen pointed to the 2007 Hurricane Hill wildfire in B.C., which burned nearly 200,000 hectares and touched more than 300 homes, as an example of why a ban is needed. B.C. fire officials concluded that it was likely caused by "smoking materials."

In 2005, Public Canada imposed a smoking and saying ban near playgrounds, public buildings, shelters and viewing towers, but smoking is permitted in most areas of national parks.

B.C. and New Brunswick are among the jurisdictions that prohibit smoking in provincial parks, with exceptions for some designated areas and campsites. Last year, the French government imposed a national ban on smoking in public parks.

Health Canada issued a consultation paper in 2007 as it worked to update its national anti-smoking strategy. Among the potential measures floated in the report was prohibiting smoking in public parks. The proposal was not included in the updated anti-smoking strategy that was released in 2008.

In addition to the wildfire risk, Mr. Hagen said a ban would lessen the amount of cigarette butt litter, which can leach harmful chemicals into waterways and soil when discarded.

The letter says a ban would also help

Canada reach its goals to curb tobacco use among young people as the government seeks to prevent smoking related illnesses and health.

Mr. Hagen said allowing smoking in national parks could a mixed message to youth when they visit by normalizing it.

"You're saying no one hand, 'Please enjoy this park,' the healthy outdoor air and experience, and the physical activity that goes along with it," but here you are stuck on a total federal a bunch of folks that are smoking and saying," he said.

Mr. Hagen said exemptions to a potential ban could be allowing smoking in campsters, not in backcenters wilderness areas, and be medical use of cannabis.

Laura Chamier, an associate professor of geography and environment at Western University, said absolutely, considering cigarettes in parks present a significant wildfire risk as there is little to some clear because of climate change.

She said that a smoking ban in national parks could help reduce wildfire risks, but people need to follow the codes for it to be effective. "It depends on whether or not somebody thinks, 'Well, I'm not going to put attention to that,' and check the cigarette butt out of the car anyway," Ms. Chamier said.

She said that while some cigarettes are labelled as 'the safe' and are designed to extinguish faster, discarding them irresponsibly can still be dangerous, especially if wind conditions like the others into flames.

A June, 2015, study from the United States Department of Agriculture found that modified cigarettes can still ignite wildfires. From 2010 to 2015, smoking has caused roughly 1,700 wildfires annually in the U.S., according to the study.

B.C., Ottawa announce new fisheries fund to help restore and conserve salmon habitat

VICTORIA

The British Columbia and federal governments have announced a joint investment of level-children over five years to help restore salmon habitat and to support the province's fish and seafood sectors.

The governments say in a joint news release that the money will be allocated through the new British Columbia Fisheries Fund.

"The fund aims to support the conservation and recovery of wild Pacific salmon and the purchase of salmon from the economy and the culture of control and Indigenous communities."

The governments say it will build on the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund, which was launched in 2008, and has invested in 200 projects related to the development of new technologies in salmon recovery and conservation.

They say nothing new markets is now essential to becoming resilient and sustainable.

It means those applying for the new funding must be innovative with new products or technologies. Broad range or multi-level services to equipment that improve productivity, or find ways to reduce the impact of trade barriers, while supporting the growth of land of B.C. and its own.

Federal Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson and Karolene Noll, B.C.'s minister of water, land and resource stewardship, met in Victoria on Thursday ahead of the announcement, where they are working in Canadian Council of Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister, Annual Meeting.

"There is room in it for harvesters and scientists to work together, which matters as conditions in the water large changing." Thompson says of the fund.

"The program also helps fund the equipment and the technology that harvesters and processors would need to be used. There is a new priority in this fish fund renewal, and that reflects the reality of the industry in this present moment," she says in the news release.

Since 2007 one of the funding will come from the federal government, while the remaining 20 per cent will be provided by B.C.

Why we are holding an 'Alberta and the West Assembly'

FREDYON MANNING CALGARY

Former leader of the Reform Party of Canada

The faith of Canadians in America, as expressed by nations, participations in elections or their satisfaction with the results of these elections, appears to be failing, especially among the younger generation.

At the municipal level, in most of our larger cities, 60 per cent or more of those eligible to vote simply do not do so. A 20-per-cent vote turnout or less is hardly a mighty enforcement of the Senate governance – especially at the level of government closest to the people.

At the national level, voter turnouts are higher – 64 per cent in Canada's most recent federal election, and 64 per cent in the late U.S. presidential election – but do such elections achieve anything meaningful as far as the average citizen is concerned! In both countries, cost of living being able to attend a home and the hotel necessities of life – was high on the agenda of large numbers of voters.

But the elections came and went and the cost of living remains unaffected or even higher.

An analysis of the Canadian Election Study, done for Statistics Canada, finds that "candidates with democracy" has been binding, government rates vary, especially among Canadian millennials and Generation Z.

And a recent Always poll reveals that 27 per cent of those

Alberlans will vote on a 10-quarthen provincial referendum scheduled in the province for the 18. ANNEX (2007) FRONTIER

A recent Always poll reveals that 47 per cent of those Canadians surveyed between the ages of 18 to 29 say "a strong leader who does not have to further with Parliament and elections would be a good way of governing."

Canadians surveyed between the ages of 18 to 29 say "a strong leader who does not have to further with Parliament and elections would be a good way of governing."

So what can be done to revitalize faith in democracy, especially among younger Canadians?

One experimental effort being made in Alberta this fall is worth noting. It involves the organization of a "virtual Assembly" made possible by today's advanced communications technologies. It is an online video-conference scheduled for Sept. 10-20. The event will be conducted by myself and former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell.

This Alberta and the West Assembly will provide information and analysis useful to Alberlans eligible to vote in the 10-quarthen provincial referendum scheduled

in that province for Oct. 10. The first nine questions on the referendum ballot ask for approval or disapproval of measures to strengthen the federation and the role of the province within it. It includes four questions on immigration, one question on voter identification and four questions on possible constitutional reforms.

The last question – the only one attracting national attention – deals with whether or not a referendum on elections should be held.

The Assembly will enable participants to thoroughly examine the main options being offered to Alberlans with respect to the province's future relationship to the Canadian federation. These include the accession option and Premier Danielle Smith's proposal of venues and build a sovereign province within 1000 square miles from a central Canada.

While the 20-days and presidents of these options will be in a studio, some to "dangerous" to the conference from across the West including those with expertise in resource economics, public finance, constitutional laws, Indigenous perspectives and public policy analysis – will be consumed by an "all-to-one" virtual and hybrid event management platform.

While the majority of the delegates will be Alberta-based, delegates from B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba will also participate in a many of Alberta's concerts with the current state of Canadian federation are shared by people in the other western provinces.

The Assembly presending will be boisters and the

any one with an interest in the subjects of its deliberations can see and hear them. These boisters and participants will be able to ask questions through the Assembly website and express their opinions on the proposals being offered by responding to online surveys.

The prescribing of the Assembly will also be slighted to produce an electronic and written Demand. The electronic version will then be prompted using an AI platform to create a new proposition that the "new path forward" for Alberta and western Canada based on the conference deliberations.

These propositions will be debated, amended as desired, and voted upon at a concluding session of the Alberta and the West. The 10th session will demonstrate that the communications technology on which the younger generation are so strongly attracted can be employed to create a natural and direct whatever issues are of greater concern to them. Right now such demonstrations help to restore their flagging faith in the concept of democracy – a concept which author generations have successfully made certain, with the hope of passing it on as a heritage for their children and grandchildren!

The Assembly will also be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way

Hong Kong's Tiananmen vigil organizers convicted

Two activists were found guilty of inciting subversion and face up to a decade in prison

JAMES GRIFFITHS ASIA CORRESPONDENT PONG KONG

The organizers of an annual candidate vigil in Hong Kong commemorating the June 4, 2026, Tiananmen Square massacre were convicted on national-security charges Friday, in the latest How to the Chinese territory's disinterested pro-democracy movement.

Activists and vigil organizers Chow Hong-tung and Lee Cheuk-yan were found guilty of inciting subversion and face up to a decade in prison. A sentence will be handed down at a later date.

The Tiananmen vigil, held every year from 2020 to 2030, was a symbol of Hong Kong's relative freedoms and civil liberties compared to the Chinese mainland. It was organized by the Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, itself emblematic of a widespread belief in the early decades of Hong Kong's handover from British to Chinese rule in 1997 that the former colony would influence autocratic China, rather than the other way around.

Those hopes have been dashed in recent years, as Beijing first set limits on how much democracy is would tolerate in Hong Kong, and then cracked down heavily after mass protests in 2014 and 2016, which brought millions to the streets demanding greater freedoms.

The 2016 Tiananmen vigil was among the largest in history, and the last held with the authorities' permission. The following year's memorial was burned on COVID-19, grounds, while subsequent events did not go ahead because of a national-security law introduced in mid-2020.

The year, later, a passed in Hong Kong much as it does in

mainland China, with a heavy police presence and scant public commemoration.

The Alliance defended in September, 2020, in the wake of intense pressure from authorities, who that same month detained

organizers Mr. Lee. Mr. Chow and Albert Do, a former candidate for Hong Kong chief executive who pleaded guilty to the investment charge in January.

Lead prosecutor Lai Ka-yoe said all three had conspired to

achieve the "illegal goal" of ending one-party rule in China, a hospitalized aim of the pro-democracy Alliance.

"There is no lawful way to terminate the leadership of the Communist Party," Mr. Lai said.

despite repeated promises when the national-security law was imposed that it would not be retroactive, Mr. Lai pointed to behaviour by the defendants prior to 2020, including organising the annual Tiananmen vigil and criticizing Communist rule in Beijing – activities that had been permitted for decades – as proof of how the Alliance had "endangered national security" and incited others to "subvert state power."

Mr. Lee told the court that the call was not about ending the party's leadership but about moving toward democracy, letting the people decide who leads them, and that the Communist Party should not be "pure" dictatorship."

Mr. Chow, a barrister who defended herself, argued that "ending one-party rule" meant ending a state where power is unmotivated.

"Justice lives in the hearts of the people," she said in a statement Thursday. "There is no need to look up to this kind of top-down ruling, and one verdict doesn't matter much."

While opposition activity has largely disappeared in Hong Kong today, the authorities are in the midst of yet another crackdown targeting remaining independent civil-security groups, including prosecuting the Hong Kong Journalists Association and arresting booksellers for allegedly distributing "subversion" materials.

Speaking last month after five people linked to two bookstores were arrested, Hong Kong's security secretary Chris Tang rejected calls to publish a list of banned books, and said the law was clear.

"If you are a bookseller, you have the responsibility to make sure the books you sell won't endanger national security," he told reporters. "It's equal to, for example, when you are selling food, you need to ensure the food won't cause a stomach ache and is not either poison or illegal.

"We will not let criminals off the hook," he said.

Syrian refugees adapt to a changed country

Ten years after Ottawa's major resettlement efforts, Canadians are significantly less enthusiastic about welcoming others from abroad

CERN ANDERSEN CONTINUED FROM THE GLOBE

Sylvia Second Class All Daan deployed out of Victoria with SINCE Max Bernays on the first Sunday in Italy. The offshore patrol ship headed north to join Operation Latitude, a maritime mission to assist Canada's presence and sovereignty in the Arctic.

So Daan serves as one of the vessel's naval communications. His duties include relaying coded messages between allied ships and keeping the computers running and protected for the next three months at sea.

He's also a qualified ship's team door and rescue terminus, trained to conduct underwater inspections of the boat's half and jump out of helicopters into a charming sea — a remarkable undertaking for a young man who'd never even seen the ocean until he enlisted in the navy three years ago. But these skills become even more impressive once you know the long journey he traveled to join the crew of Max Bernays.

Ten years ago, 51 Daan was just All Daan, a 19-year-old Syrian refugee landing with his family in a small, Prairie town in a strange country. He didn't know a word of English, he couldn't have found Manitoba on a map.

But he knew what it was like to run from gunfire when the only house you've known is exploding into civil war.

And what it meant to be suddenly poor, trapped in a neighbouring country that didn't want you, lagging cement seven days a week to help local your family and carrying the other kids you saw walking to school.

Canada, he says, was the first place he remembers feeling truly safe.

Now, at 14, confident in his crisp, black uniform, proud of the Maple Leaf on his shoulder, and looking ahead to a cancer in the navy, he's volunteered to keep Canada safe to fares.

A decade ago, Canadians achieved a remarkable goal. In 1st days, they helped settle 20,474 Syrian refugees — the Daan family included — with a national surge of grassroots generosity unmatched, before or since, by any other country.

And yet, the 10th anniversary of this historic act of comparison finds Canadians significantly less enthusiastic about welcoming strangers from a distant shore. Support for higher immigration levels has fallen since 2016, and most steppin to recent years Power Canadians now agree that Canada has a responsibility to do its part to help refugees, according to the government's opinion data. A continuing Enronotes survey suggests that suspicions of

refugee claimants has grown.

Like many countries, Canada has reduced immigration and refugee targets — even though more strangers need a safe harbour than at any other time (exceeded human history since 2016, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the global number of refugees displaced by war and violence has doubled to 2,000 million.

That doesn't include the 17 million people forced to move within their own countries because of political upheaval or natural disasters. Without environmental action, the World Bank has estimated that over the next 10 years, more than 200 million will be internally displaced owing to climate change events alone. Safe spaces are shrinking, even today, according to the UNHCR, most refugees and asylum seekers live one climate-ranged place, only to arrive in another.

What will we offer as a country as this human need becomes more desperate? And what should we do as individual Canadians when the next call to action inevitably comes?

Cuckily we have new data to guide us. As the Syrians settled in and the one-year responsibility of financial and social care from their private sponsors passed, a frenzy of research began. Bureaucrats, scholars and international organizations started to evaluate how well Canada's efforts actually worked.

The results of hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, books and reports suggest Canadians are right to be cautious. Recertifying vulnerable people to an unfamiliar country must be done carefully and

with the right public resources, including affordable housing and language training. There are limits to what even the most well-meaning private citizens can accomplish on their own.

But these studies also tell a hopeful story. They provide evidence of the good work accomplished by co-operators, open-hearted communities. The long-term benefits of truly making room for the stranger in need. And what it means for a country to offer a welcoming example when so much of the world is closing its doors.

I first met All Daan in late summer 2016, when I spent a few days with his parents and siblings for a story about Canada's nationwide effort to safely re-settle Syrian refugees displaced by their country's devastating civil war.

Ahlam Erb and Ahmad Daan, along with their three daughters and four sons, were among the first refugees to arrive in Manitoba in late 2015. They'd been sponsored by a volunteer group called Build a Village, who sat them up in a motion but comfortable house on a main road in Alcona, Man., a farming town of 1,000, located 10 kilometres from the American border.

Already to sing in English, All helped translate for his parents during our interviews. A local farmer had loaned his family a plot of land, and standing by the crew of freshly planted soil, he narrated his mother's fierce prediction that her Syrian tomatoes, their precious seeds carried to Canada in a suitcase, would grow plumper than ever in prairie soil.

In the living room, he quietly explained why his father struggled to speak about Ali's grandmother still in Syria, who missed saving a final goodbye when the family escaped to Lebanon in 2013, she kept every time their spoke over Skype.

Like so many refugees, the Daan family had lost everything. In Damascus, the country's capital, they'd been an unhappiness, financially comfortable household. But in 2016, Syria's president feast at 4-5-6 and 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11-12, the country's capital was 10-11

They finally find the country, joining more than 1/2 million Syrians who escaped across the border during the war. People crowded into neighboring bodies. Turkey or Lebanon, or paid smugglers for treacherous sea journeys on overloaded boats to Kaly or Greece, creating one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history. In Lebanon, the Daan family was forced to move regularly, searching for whatever work that they could find in service. All, then 10 years old, would spend the next three years working manual labour nearly every day, falling asleep to dreams of the happy childhood he'd lost.

In November, 2015, newly elected prime minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada would settle 20,000 Syrian refugees over three months in the middle of winter — more than double the number of refugees typically resettled in an entire year. The government would sponsor half, the rest could only be achieved if private citizens mobilized immediately with money and time.

Within weeks, hundreds of private sponsorship groups, involving thousands of Canadians sign-

tend to host a family. In every province and territory, volunteers prepared warm huds and stocked kitchens.

Syrians began arriving by the planhead in December. In airport terminals across the country, exhausted families were greeted by strangers with “Welcome to Canada” signs and mownads for their kids. By February, the sports had been met, and more refugees were on their way.

By the end of 2016, more than 44,000 Syrians were meeting new-known Canada, according to government data. In 792 came as government-assisted refugees, another 3,644 received support through a blended public-private model.

The remaining 49,000 refugees were sponsored entirely by regular Canadians in more than 350 communities.

Even today, only a few countries in the world allow private citizens to sponsor refugees, and none have done it as well or widely as Canada.

Since the program began at years ago, 416,400 private sponsored refugees have been settled in every corner of the country. There are now hundreds of groups, and countless Canadians, with expertise in helping newcomers succeed – a valuable resource no other country has so steadily enabled.

Syrian families were already arriving when Iwate Thomson received a phone call mail December, 2015, from a friend working in Jordan for United. Her friend had met a refugee who was voluntarily coaching and running a sports program for children in the Eastern Refugee Camp, near the Syrian border. His young son had a disability and needed specialist care. “He’s an incredible job,” her friend said. “Do you know anyone who could sponsor him?”

As it happened, Mr. Thomson did five months later, her sponsorship group greeted Mohammed Alkarad, his wife, son and his parents at the Ottawa airport.

Mr. Alkarad, a 12-time Syrian national champion-wrecker, was a well-known teacher and coach in his home city of Dassa, but it refused to spy on his friends and students when the protests began. His family sought temporary refuge in Jordan not long after his sister was shot and killed by a random airport's bullet while crossing an army checkpoint by taxi to see them on Mother's Day. They'd been living in a tent for four years when they were approved to go to Canada.

He was impatient to return to coaching, so Mr. Thomson encouraged him to focus on language training, while Mr. Amale called him in the wrestling community. They welcomed Mr. Alkarad as a volunteer coach, and later supported Mr. Thomson's and Mr. Alkarad's efforts to start a new wrestling program tailored to refugee and immigrant youth.

This is how private sponsors help refugees integrate quickly into their communities. Teams of dedicated Canadians such as Mr. Thomson adapt to individual needs and network to find solutions.

During their 12 months of official support, sponsors are expected to provide housing, cover months to expenses such as food, transportation and utilities, organize language classes and school registration and assist with job hunting. Across the country, in 2016, they provided driving lessons and private tutoring, found dentists to fit neglected cavities and friendly bosses with positions to fill. They threw birthday parties and picnics, and made trips to the zoo. And on apart allotments, they simply sat for tea, trading stories with the help of Google Translate.

Mr. Thomson, who has sponsored refugees since university. “Not the real magic happens in the days that follow, in the meals shared, in the milestones.”

For the Syrian program, the federal government deliberately accepted responsibility for the most vulnerable people identified by officials in refugee camps. Compared to those who were privately sponsored, these government-assisted families tended to have more children and low education and were significantly less likely to speak English.

But even accounting for those differences, studies show that privately sponsored Syrian refugees established themselves in Canada much faster. A December, 2014, study of Syrians in Guineas found that compared to government-assisted refugees, those with private sponsors were significantly more likely to have a job, a large social network and a strong sense of belonging to their community.

A 2016 Haimino Canada analysis, which used a large national database to track the outcomes of refugees who travelled in the country between 1985 and 2015, and also accounted for differences in education and language skills, found that it took up to 15 years for government-sponsored refugees, as a

group, to catch up to their privately sponsored peers.

What’s more, the study found private sponsorship provided the largest earnings benefit to refugees with lower education, especially women - suggesting, the authors wrote, a “far-reaching long-term advantage” for the most disadvantaged group.

Building community connections and a faster sense of belonging may be the most valuable contributions of private sponsorship. Researchers tracking Syrian refugees since 2015 have found that those with private sponsors were more likely to say their health care needs were met and to report a sense of kinship and mutual respect with their settlement support cards.

Still, private sponsorship wasn’t perfect. While most sponsorship groups must their obligations - and many go far beyond them - an Alberta state also found that some refugees received little assistance and had no easy way to hold their sponsors accountable.

Conversely, some refugees, when surveyed, reported that their sponsors were too overlearned, and failed to fully consider their own autonomy.

And while resorting so many Syrian refugees in quickly earned Canada praise abroad, it also overwhelmed domestic resources from in 2015, sponsors scrambled to find affordable housing. In larger cities, teachers struggled to manage an office of students often grades behind their peers. Those were not enough language classes, especially for mothers with young children.

The focus on Syrians, suggests Iainas Yereous, a social850296897 at the University of Ottawa who studied in the program, also raised questions of fairness - both for refugees from other nations not making headlines but long awaiting their own flights to Canada, and about how equitably resources and donations were shared among refugees already in the country.

Still, many of the issues with private sponsorship are hypnotics. The result be solved, for instance, by ensuring sufficient public resources, such as language classes, and by providing standardized support and oversight, particularly to new sponsorship groups.

As positive as the studies have been, the program has also been affected by recent cuts to immigration numbers. In late November, 2014 - about 4-week before the Assad government was overthrown - the federal government passed now pre-2016 sponsorship applications to catch up with a backlog, at first for one year, and now until the end of 2016. Meanwhile, Ottawa has also announced the lowest targets for privately sponsored refugees in a decade.

On the whole, private sponsorship is a Canadian success story of shared wellness and generosity, and, in many cases, enduring transformational friendships.

Koufayra Al Hajj Moolhamad, her husband, Mahmoud Al Abbas, and three young daughters landed in Alberta, in the dark, during a movement in 2016, and were met by strangers who became, she says, a trusted second family. They offered warm jackets, stripped the hunting children into car seats and drove them all to a clean, cozy house in Doyton Valley, an all time of 7,000 people about 120 kilometres southwest of Edmonton.

The sponsors themselves have a few regrets. They might have more fully considered how frightening that airport arrival must have been, says Rita Magnum, and taken those car seats more slowly.

Or reinforced the idea that it was safe to ask for help, says Hassan Nikitouka, a retired nurse who oversaw the health care part of sponsorship, during an emergency hospital visit the first weekend, disclaimed that Mr. Al Abbas had been suffering silently with a severely infected tooth, fearful the family might be sure back to Syria.

When Mr. Al Hajj Moolhamad had her fourth baby, she returned almost immediately to language classes. “We would not have asked any women to go back to studying so quickly after birth,” says Mr. Magnum, wishing she’d pushed harder for the new mother to test.

“We could have given them more space to be,” she said. “But you know, we were so allotous to have them become part of our little community.”

Mr. Al Hajj Moolhamad, however, has only praise for her support group of Canadians. “If I need help today,” she says. “I know they would be there.”

Human fallibility aside, sponsors report their own positive benefits - exposure to a different culture, a sense of purpose, working with neighbours they might otherwise never meet. In Alberta, where residents helped meet 40, Syrian refugees - including the Iwan family - over 12 months, there have been bursements as people moved away for some and work, but also graduation parties and weddings.

"It's not just about helping, it is also about learning," says Yali Klassen, one of Akhna's sponsors. "Our Canadian way isn't the always the best way to learn might be sure ways of doing things that we haven't thought of."

In recent Electronics surveys, a majority of Canadians still recognize the value of welcoming newcomers, and express support for the country's diversity. Those who say that immigration levels are too high are most likely to continue misguided government policy than the people coming in, and a raise concerns about boosting shortage and an uncertain economy.

But even if "we're insanely focused for lots of good reasons," Ms. Thomson says, the private sponsorship program can strengthen ties within communities and between cultures. "It's not about numbers. It's about a person in front of you who has a real story of grit and resilience and survival. It puts the human connection back into it all."

Recalling his first days at sea, on a 15-meter training boat travelling the Strait of Georgia, to Ali Daan says, "I remember nothing but paling."

But when he could lift his head to the horizon, the view was like nothing he'd imagined: mountains rising against sweeping the sky forever being of the ocean and - most magical of all - a pod of whales swimming plucked around and outside the ship. She a matrie welcome party. "This is where I want to be," he told himself.

I recommend with to Daan over Zoom from the port Nofapi wing of HMS New Orleans on the Friday morning before he deployed, while, in the background, a commanding voice on the loudspeaker can the crew through emergency drills.

Now in the third year of a four-year contract, he's planning to stay in the navy. He likes the adventure and camaraderie and, of course, he's long past the need for seasickness pills.

When I met him as a teenager, Ali was already flourishing. At school, he was catching up quickly. Even though he felt older than his peers, he worked hard to make friends, who boasted to me that they now know how to carve in public. He and me as year-old brother, Mohamad, were busy collecting diaries for their summer lawn-moving business.

Finding him in the navy, however, was unexpected: the Syrian military, under broad, tortured, bonded and killed tens of thousands of civilians, boldizes had taken everything from his family I remember being shown a sudden image of his devastated farm, blasted with miners, and Ali's father leaving the room, overcome with stunties.

Ali's decision to enlist, he admits, was a hard sell for his parents, especially Jane, when he'd chosen the navy. In stand his mother into the idea by saying he was working in an office - and learning out the part about the office being on a boat -

As he explains, the push and pull between two cultures was always the most stressful part of having a refugee in Canada. He didn't want to cling to what made him different, he wanted to start the chance to thrive. And the more independent and "Canadians" he became, the harder his parents tried to keep him Syrian.

Today, if asked where he's born, he'll say Akhna, then, without hesitation. In Lebanon, he'd fall asleep with children and people away from carrying bags of cement and dream of a place where a bus would take him to school. And how friends his own age and life would be easier and ordinary.

"And when I moved to Africa," he says, "it was everything I'd dreamed."

For all they'd suffered as a family, the Daan household in 2016 was full of trusting and laughter. Sponsors prepped in and out like close friends, organizing appointments, chatting at the kitchen table, accepting yet another beeping plate of home-cooked food from Ali's mom, who never allowed a winter to sleep in winter.

Even as they waited for the Yutian seeds to spread, the Canadian roots were growing. By the end of high school, Ali - like his older sisters - was on the boomer roll, excelling in math and earning a scholarship to study science at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.

passed the course, the loud dive instructor, who had served in warrooms, reminded him that his worst experience were unique strengths. They'd taught grit and resilience to a way most Canadians, even for navy peers, would never understand.

As he tells the military social workers every time he's assessed for deployment, and they learn his story for the first time. "I'm not the child you're imagining. I'm the person you're looking at today."

But he would never have become that person, he says, without the private sponsors who made Akhna feel like home. "Without them," he says, "I would not be here."

For many years, the Syrian seeds planted that first summer grew loamy and torturous on the family's reared plot - seed one of his sisters bought a farm outside Akhna. His parents live there now, raising chickens and sheep and crops and dogs, their ambition to treat Daan land once again, fulfilled. And his mother has since come around to her oldest son's chosen cancer path: "She tells me she's proud of me."

Ten years later, former Syrian refugees are running their own restaurants and baksters, barber and mechanic shops. They have started growing companies, such as Aleppo Soup in Calgary, and Peace by Chocolate to Nova Scotia. They are working as teachers' assistants and loudspeople, organizing cultural events and food festivals.

In Brayton Valley, Ms. Al Hajj Mouhamad will soon graduate with her high school equivalency - just ahead of her oldest daughter. She hopes to have a child with a business, with her husband, In Ottawa. Ms. Akhna is running a summer camp for young athletes - had in Montreal, there's Noor Ulayim, one of the first female Syrian refugees in the world to become a pilot.

Ms. Ulayim, along with her mother and two brothers, was sponsored in the Montreal suburbs by a local church group. "I think that's not the first one," she'd enrolled in the flight school not far from her house, working two jobs to pay for school, walking an hour each way in the winter to attend early morning instruction.

One of her first pilot jobs was with his head, flying between northern stations or evacuating people with medical emergencies. She continued Two years ago, Ms. Ulayim was hired by Air Canada, and today, the 30-year-old is cross-creating, the globe, a pilot on the long-haul 3M.

"It's important to believe in refugees, and give them a chance," she says, teaching the sponsor who helped her research school options and the flight instructor who showed up visits to teach her. "They're starting over to build a good life. They're highly motivated individuals bringing in diversity, experience and resilience."

They just send time, as decades of research show. Noor Syrian refugees arrived in Canada speaking little to no English, carrying their only possessions in a single culture.

But by 2016, according to the federal governments Syrian Outcomes Report, which surveyed Syrians who arrived between 2016 and 2020 2016, more than eight out of 10 refugees had learned enough English to communicate without help of doctor's appointments, in social settings, while shopping and at their jobs. Within two to three years of arriving in Canada, 30 per cent of Syrian respondents reported being employed, and 15 per cent were looking for work. Their incomes were low, the report found, but rising the longer they live in Canada.

What's more, 30 per cent of Syrian refugees described their sense of belonging to Canada as "strong," the same percentage as those born in the country.

Canada's efforts are, ultimately, a story of young people - half of the Yutian refugees who arrived that year were under the age of 16. Many of them had missed years of school, compared to younger children, teenagers and young adults were more likely to struggle socially and understand.

But by 2016, 90 per cent of Syrian parents surveyed said all their children were in school. And today, many of those young people are graduating from high school, getting their first jobs and applying to university, says Leah Hamilton, a candidate at Calgary's Mount Royal University who co-edited the book, A National Project: Syrian Refugee Restrictions in Canada.

"These youth have resettled and integrated in a way that's really optimistic for the future," Dr. Hamilton says. "Our compassion helped create those opportunities."

We should not be surprised by these outcomes. Refugees arrive with different resources and levels of trauma, individually; they don't find their footing at equal speed. But as a group, according to Hamilton Canada, refugees are higher levels of entrepreneurship than people born here and they are more likely to work in the trade and health care, two sectors with chronic labour shortages. Their children attend university at nearly equal rates to Canadian-born peers. Nine out of 10 refugees became Canadians citizens, the highest of all newcomers. And within 20 years of writing, they've paid more in taxes than they've received in government assistance.

It may be initially expensive to help someone rebuild their lives when they've lost everything. But in the final tally, refugees give back more than they take.

Mohammed Akhna, the wrestling coach in Ottawa, would give this advice to the man he was to years ago - "It will be tough for the first few months. But in the latest that year, in the past, you will start adapting. And then eventually you'll love the water in your city, and it will become your home, and if you travel out of Canada, you will realize you couldn't live anywhere else."

Because, in the end, he says, "one's nature is not defined by land, but by the people you love."

In Brayton Valley, the first person to be supported Roskaya Al Hajj Mouhamad's family, have applied to sponsor her husband's brother and wife, and their children. The town is more diverse today, but Ms. Ulayim is more that bringing in newcomers might be controversial. She has been trying and that money is tight. But "it causes me anger," she says, "to think we've shifted away from looking after each other."

As for by Daan, he's at sea until the end of September, asserting Canada's sovereignty. He knows he's training for a possible future that sends him back to a war zone. "I'm going to be a leader for it," he says. "I signed up for this. I know who I'm fighting for, and I know who I'm here for. This is the flag I carry on my shoulder every day."

Witnesses recount crash as plane lands on highway

Aircraft hit four vehicles after an emergency landing on a major arterial road in Prince George

MATTHEW FRANK WISE NAGOR

There was no time for Jaime Paschuk to take his test off the gun as a plane smashed into the car ahead of him and then horrified toward his – all he could do was wrench his wheel right to snares into the nearby ditch.

He says the sudden massacres on a busy thoroughfare in Prince George, B.C., on Thursday afternoon created just enough space to avoid the plane's propellers from slicing through his vehicle and, likely him, but the plane's wings still shaved part of the roof of his cab.

One person in the car ahead of him died from the impact, authorities confirmed.

The 1st Interrogator pathogen charter plane was an route to Prince George's airport when it lost power to one of its engines and made an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard, a major arterial road in the northwest corner of the city, the Transportation Safety Board said. The plane hit four vehicles, injuring several people on the ground, though there were no injuries among the aircraft's pilot, crew member or six passengers.

Mr. Paschuk, a 40-year-old security guard, was driving up Foothills Boulevard to start a week-long shift about 100 kilometers north in Mackenzie when the plane crashed, "appearing from nowhere," he said in an interview.

The only sound he heard was the most of metal and the shattering of narrowed glass. He walked away from the crash with only 10-20 minutes from the flying shards. Processing the incident went he says to quick, Mr. Paschuk said.

The next something that's supposed to happen, it's not really something that you should make

some out of," he said. "It's just an absolute accident that happened."

The Transportation Safety Board, which is on scene investigating what led to the crash, said the flight originated from the blunder gravel airship. The remote facility is about 400 kilometres northwest of Prince George and serves nearby mining operations.

Toronto-headquartered Dror

gold Corp. confirmed on Friday that two of its staff were on board alongside employees of other mining companies working at various sites in the north of the province. The two foregold employees were being compared to 40 south for a scheduled break from work on the company's Northern B.C. mining project.

emergency landing around a gun, paramedic public information officer Brian Swates said in an e-mail. It treated so patients, including two people who were transported to hospital in stable condition.

THE spokesperson Vic Defalco said in an e-mail that the beach-crash King Air zoo airplane left the Sunday, among at roughly 1.25 p.m. before it lost power to one of its engines.

After Morris, a former NGA and long-time Mountain in the area raced to the scene of the crash from his home a couple minutes away and saw officers blocking off the road. The boulevard has two lanes for traffic going up the big hill where the plane landed and one coming down.

Mr. Morris, a former BCMP commander in the north of the province who then served as solicitor-general under the previous B.C. block government and the pilot was on the ground to have maneuvered well through a difficult emergency.

"There were eight weeks on board that aircraft – all of them were able to get out of there," Mr. Morris said in an interview. "He did a very good job, it's just unfortunate we had a death and other injuries."

The Prince George Airport was alerted to the incident and was preparing to come to the plane for an emergency landing before it travelled toward Foothills Boulevard, the airport authority said in news release on Thursday.

The plane has been registered to be taken for 1st, a Northern B.C. chartered airline, since October, 2015, according to Transport Canada records.

Someone who picked up the phone at Ireland left Prince George headquarters in the Friday morning said the company is not commenting on the incident.

In 2014, a different airline owned the plane and called as a maiden outside the town's airport while conducting the medical evacuation of a patient from Phoenix. After the oxygen masks dropped down during the plane's descent, the pilot was able to land it safely during that night in January, 2015, according to Canadian aviation records.

An inspection found a bank controlling the pressure had incorrectly been turned to the maximum level, but no defects were found in the plane, according to certain official rules. Transport Canada's Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System, Upper Valley Aviation Ltd., the Chatham & Dorset, was also concerned about the plane at the time, did not answer when called.

Ceuta begins burials for migrants who died trying to cross into the territory

Against the murmur of prayers, body bags were lowered into graves marked only with numbers. Scavenggers placed the first four victims in similar block plots while a small group of locals watched at a cemetery on the tip of North Africa.

The dead, whose identities are unknown, were among the more than 20 migrants who lost their own during Spain's stardust border cross these weeks ago. Fuelled by misinformation, poverty and a lack of opportunities, more than 75,000 people poured into Ceuta, a Spanish territory that neighbours Morocco.

At a 1,000 cemetery in Ceuta, 10 migrants were laid to rest on Friday. An Islamic class road prayers and chants praising God while funeral workers worked

quickly to lower the white body bags and cover them with soil. More migrants are expected to be buried soon.

The Moroccan Association for

Human Rights, a left-leaning non-governmental organisation, called for the burials in Ceuta to be halted until every effort had been made to identify the bodies

and repatriate them to Morocco, the country of origin for most of the migrants who made the perilous journey. Many of these who died drowned or were killed in a stampede to cross a headmaster barrier near a border checkpoint.

In a statement, the NGS asked Morocco's Foreign Ministry to ensure that "the bodies are returned to the families so they can be buried with dignity."

A spokesperson for Ceuta's city government said last week the paperwork to repatriate the body of the deceased was complete, but that Morocco's government hadn't managed it.

Morocco's Foreign Ministry didn't respond to questions from the Associated Press about the burials that started on Friday in Ceuta to determine that Morocco is blocking the repatriation of identified migrant bodies.

While most of these who crossed into Ceuta in late July returned

to Morocco almost immediately, local authorities say that up to 10,000 migrants – including women and children – could still be in the small Spanish city, prolonging a humanitarian crisis or authorities and locals struggle to shelter and attend to them. Spain's national government cites a lower figure of around 5,000 people.

Moroccan and Spanish authorities have blamed social media rumours and human smuggling networks for the deadly event, while migrants died unemployment and low wages as reasons for why they made the journey.

All of these buried on Friday were men, said half Mohammed, the cemetery's acting manager. The graves were marked with insufficient stones to cast families claim the bodies in the future, he said.

Campaign challenges maps that under-represent Africa

Movement has regained momentum after U.S. used incorrect map of continent at global conference in July

GEOFFREY YORK OFFICE & RESEARCH STAFF ADMINISTRATORS

When a Trump administration official presented a citigrouply erroneous map of Africa at a global conference last month, the blunder gave fresh momentum to a campaign for an accurate world map that would finally show the African continent in its true dimensions.

Each of the African countries highlighted on the U.S. map was wrongly labeled, while some were monotypes or incorrectly located. The U.S. State Department apologized and said it took "full responsibility" for the "unfortuitous cover." And for many people it was the latest example of the cartography of Western misperceptions.

"It just showed the complete and utter damaged for the continent," said Molly Makers, the executive director of Africa No Filter, a group that joined for labor representatives of the continent. "Nobody bothered to check and nobody noticed."

For centuries, she noted, traditional world maps have proved underestimated Africa's use. But now she and other activities are leading a campaign - backed by the African Union - to adopt the carefully calibrated "Equal Earth" map, with constraints shown in their true proportions.

The campaign could soon reach the United Nations. Topi's government has pledged to take the mapერით on to the UN General Assembly at its annual meeting next month.

The outcome can be traced back to a world map created by the French group after Canadian Mercator in July that helped colonize the nation - younger across the nation. The Mercator projection soon became the standard, even for today's maps, but it is reappeared some land masses. Canada and Greenland dominate the top left side, each seemingly as large as Africa, while Europe and Russia command the centre.

It's an illusion - caught in down rooms and tooth-sides - that has subconsciously diminished the

Proportional justice

Created in 2008, the Mercator projection became the world's standard map, disturbing the relative size of Africa and much of the Global South. The African Union-backed Correct The Map campaign advocates the Equal Earth projection as a future alternative.

MERCATOR PROJECTION

Invented for maritime exploration, if exaggerates the size of countries closer to the North and South parts, while under-representing the size of south at South America and Africa.

A visual comparison of selected regions in the Mercator projection shows actual surface area in millions.

world's perceptions of the African continent. In reality, Africa is three times bigger than Canada and a times bigger than Greenland - yet the maps conceal the traditional Mercator map is "the world's longest misinformation campaign," Ms. Makers said. "People know it was wrong and continued to use it." Maps are storytelling tools, and

they always told a story that marginalized Africa's role in the world, pushing it to the edges of the global imagination, Ms. Makers told The Globe and Mail. After extensive research, the cartographers opted for the Equal Earth map, which was created in 2008 to show every land mass in its true size. Their they launched the #CorrectTheMap campaign,

led by the advocacy groups Africa No Filter and Speak Up Africa.

In videos on social media, the campaign puts a spotlight on the severe determines in existing maps. "This isn't just about size," the narrator says. "It's about power and perception. It's about a false sense of superiority over the Global South, and this needs to change."

From the U.S. adagio's production to endorse the Equal Earth map, however, it has no legal power to impose the map on others. In the campaign is relying on admonition and awareness to build support for more accurate images.

Two geography professors at the University of Tennessee, Jack Frenkel, and Frank Litterman, have warned that the inaccurate Mercator-based maps can cause damage in the real world. When U.S. President Donald Trump and he wanted the United States to take control of Greenland, he repeatedly cited its "massive" size - an assessment that was "likely influenced by map distortion," the scholars said.

The Mercator projection tends to reflect the size of places such as Canada and Greenland that are closer to the North or South parts. "As the largest continent in the global south, Africa is a victim of this cartographic inequity," the geography professors note that an analysis published last year.

For colonial empires, cartography was always a powerful tool of control, the two scholars said. European studies of maps with blank spaces across Africa to imply that these were empty places that are one could grab. European leaders then gathered at the Berlin Conference to offer to show how they can be the maps, partitioning and

carrying up Africa for colonial possessions.

The campaign for a fairer map was given a demand, hence a year ago when the world's Union endowed the goal, putting it onto the global agenda for the first time. The AU designated Topi's government to spearhead the effort at the United Nations, including at the General Assembly next month.

The AU, announcing its decision, complained that the Mercator map has always diminished a continent that comprises an percent of the world's land mass, with a population now reaching 1.0 billion.

"Bringing about changes won't be easy," professors found and Alderman said in their analysis. Because there is no central authority to govern the production of maps, the campaign will need to mobilize support from education, diplomats, textbook publishers, the media and others.

Now will a new map guarantee a fairer and more equal world. "But it's a step towards reducing Africa's rightful viability on the world stage," the scholars said.

The advocacy groups were enthused by the AU's decision to campaign against the Mercator map. "This is not a small cartographic error," Africa No Filter said in its social media posts. "This is centuries of distortion that has shaped how the world uses Africa - shrinking its significance, undermining its identity and diminishing its people."

There is no guarantee that the UN will vote for the Equal Earth map next month. But the campaigners are optimistic.

"Why are we even having to call?" Ms. Makers added. "It's new brainstorm."

Harry among those ordered to pay Daily Mail

Prince and six others lost privacy lawsuit, must give at least $27.6-million to tabloid publisher

PAN P1A3 LONDON

Prince Harry and six others, including Elton John, have been ordered to pay an initial 4x3-million (the 6-million) to the publisher of Britan's Daily Mail newspaper after their failed execution of privacy case - and could face an additional $2-million (3x4.6-million) in legal costs.

In a judgment Friday, Justice Matthew Nicklin said in a written statement that the payment to Associated Newspapers Ltd will have to be made by Aug. 28. The payment is at the upper end of expectations and made anvide calice for the journalists at the Daily Mail and a defeat for the losing claimant and their lawyers.

The claimant, but a High Court case in London last month during which they had alleged malpractice, such as the illegal hacking of phrases on the part of Associated Newspapers.

The other high-priced figures are the most recent famous Lawrence, the anti-nation activist whose son Hughes was stabbed to death in sign as he waited for a bus. Elton John's film produced a beautiful friend, Furniss, across India from and Ga-Danley, and a pleasant family. Hughes, Ms. Lawrence's costs are expected to be covered by the others.

In excavating comments accompanying his award, Justice Nicklin said "several features" were important in his decision, including the "specialism" nature of the claims and the failure of the claimants to "voluntarily" withdraw serious allegations that claimant was "unwanted upon".

The conduct was unreasonable to a high degree," he said. The publisher has said it incurred some of more than 4x3-million years, with the claims that he was

for the remainder of the costs, and get the necessary legal cap proved to do so, then Harry and the six others will be liable for a further $2.9-million (3x4.6-million) or so.

The claimant took out insurance for around half of that total, in line with the budget estimates provided at the outset by the lawyers working for Associated Newspapers.

Though the judge said the costs appeared "successive," he said he would not impose a cap that would have limited the claimant's liabilities as it would have been "too broad finished, would risk unfairness, and would be vulnerable to the charge that it was arbitrary."

The amount that will be paid could well be determined in the future by costs judges, specialists who assess and determine financial outcomes in cost litigation when parties cannot agree.

David Bailey-Vella, chairman of the Association of Costs Lawyers, said the ruling "could not have gone much worse" for the claimants.

He said the claimants will "surely try again before the costs judges to try and show they risked on Associated's original budget when buying the insurance and so should not have to pay more."

Mr. Hughes, a former member of the central clinical firmhouse, said he was "disappointed and surprised" that Associated Newspapers "is possible costs were not limited."

None of the other claimants have yet commented on the judge's decision. They have until this, it is decide whether to appeal.

The publisher had strongly denied the claims made during the 1-week trial in London earlier this year. In his laby's judgment, Justice Nicklin said there had been a shortage of evidence to support the or claims and found them was a possibility that the reporting came from legitimate sources.

In a statement following the decision, Associated Newspapers said the judgments, a "dissipating critique of an attempt to de-

stres a newspaper and the reputation of its journalists, editors and executives.

The truth is that these outrageous claims should never have been brought," it said.

That they were pursued raises disturbing questions about the conduct of elements of the legal profession.

The judgment comes two days after it was made public that Harry and his wife, Meghan Muelin, are moving back to Britain. The State and the state of France, who are no longer working regular, decamped in California more than six years ago but will rule out back later this month to live in a non-royal residence outside London.

Harry's defeat against Associated Newspapers brought an end to a trio of lawsuits accusing tabloid publishers of using unleaded tactics, such as phone hacking or closing private sales laws to dig up dirt on his life.

Harry won a judgment in 1931 that contained the publishers of the Daily Mirror for "wake-argued" the defense of phone hacking. Last year, Rupert Murabuchi, flagship British tabloid, The Sun, made an unprecedented apology for intruding on his life for years and agreed to pay substantial damages to settle his private business lawsuits.

Harry has said his litigation in which he broke with Royal Family tradition to seek relief in the courts - was a primary source of his killing, and with his father, King Charles III, and brother Prince William.

His grudge with the tabloids runs deep and his legal actions are part of his larger quest to re-train the news media that he says damaged his relationships and made him "paranoid beyond belief."

He blames the press for the death of his mother, Princess Diana, who was killed in a car crash in war while being put out by government in Paris, and for attacks on his wife, Meghan, that led the couple to abandon royal life and move to the United States in 1930.

Iran vows 'devastating' response to threats after U.S. pledges new sanctions

JANA CHURCH DNER KROHNASTRA

SUSAN HEART DUBAI AND WASHINGTON

Iran said on Friday that its response to any new U.S. threats would be "devastating" after Washington pledged to improve the toughest financial penalties in history with the aim of toppling the Iranian leadership.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett said he would give disapproval of the 1st of the planned sanctions, after President Donald Trump warned of economic consequences against any country that provided "any type of lifeline to Iran."

The chief of staff of Iran's Central Forces, Major General Ali Abdollahir, said the Islamic Republic's reaction would be broad and decisive.

"With preparedness across land, sea, air, air defense and embargo, Iran's armed forces will respond to the country's new threats with crushing, punishing and devastating responses," Maj. Gen. Abdullah was quoted as saying by Iranian media.

Iranian leaders said the Trump-allee have issued triumphant and

threatening statements even as such side has yet to prevail in the war that the U.S. and Israel cannot of nearly six months ago, killing thousands of people while dying on other Gulf states and pushing up global fuel prices. U.S. attacks have severely diminished Iran's economy and its conventional forces, but African maintains enough minds and strong capability to impede oil tanker traffic in the feast of the areas and attack regional rivals.

Mr Trump, meanwhile, has yet to achieve objectives he set at the start of the war such as dismantling Iran's nuclear program and creating conditions for Iranians to overthrow their clerical rulers. The war has driven up gas prices and toughest heavily on his population, which fell to the lowest point in his current term in a Russian-Israel poll this week.

Iran's parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqar Qadwal, the country's main negotiator in mediated talks with the U.S., said Washington appeared to have concluded it could not prevail in its direct military confrontation.

"We must make plans to deal with the unjust sanctions in the war can overcome them," he said in neighbouring Iraq.

But, speaking to Iranian and Iraqi business people late on Thursday, Mr. Qadwal achieved edged the strain on Iran's economy.

"Normative have much ordinary power we have, we won't survive if people are hungry and we don't have financial turnover, economic growth and national production," Mr. Qadwal said, according to official news agency IRNA.

International and U.S. could oil futures rose on Friday after the U.S. threatened economic sanctions on Iran's trading partners, raising expectations of tighter supply in the coming weeks.

Mr. Bennett told CNBC he would provide details on the new sanctions at a news conference on Moscow today. "We are going to collapse this regime."

Iran has swallowed issue continuous economic sanctions for nearly 10 years, since the Islamic Revolution is nerding, but in people are suffering high inflation, a weakening economic and energy shortages along with damaged infrastructure. Tighter sanctions could have wider international implications.

Mr. Bennett said China got half its energy from the Gulf so it

would make sense for them to "get with the program."

China have more than 80 per cent of Iran's dropped oil, according to 1931 data from analytics from Xipin, but further U.S. sanctions, warfare with Beijing, which has used earlier restrictions on exports of its vital cars, such minerals, coke, medicines.

China's ordinary in Washington said, "Sanctions and pressure do not help resolve the problem" and called for diplomacy.

Those are often trials, especially in U.S. states, to make the same of whose energy facilities and the disulbuminary plants they depend on for drinking waste have come under Iranian attack.

The U.S. and Iran have twice announced "canalize" deals, in 1962 and later, during 6 o'clock the free flow of ships through Bombay, which before February carried about one fifth of all trade oil.

Iran and Oman, which has just across the narrow cities, have been in separate talks with a stated purpose in resume navigation, but the U.S. has enjoyed any deal that would impose a toll on ships.

Russia open to new ideas on Ukraine peace, but with conditions, senior diplomat says

HOUCON

Russia is open to listening to new proposals on how to reach a settlement on the conflict with Ukraine, a senior Russian diplomat said, but any proposals should reflect the "realism on the ground."

Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said in an interview with media outlet News in published on Friday that the United States demonstrated a readiness for "constructive dialogue" as well as an "understanding of Russia's position."

"At this stage, it is most important to what senior Washington is able to influence the decisions of the Kyiv regime and in European symposia, who will dream of a 'strategic defeat of Russia,' he told the outlet.

Negotiations between Russia and the U.S. to bring about an end to the conflict

in Ukraine have largely stalled amid the war in Iran.

The Kremlin said on Thursday that it had no information yet on a possible next visit to Moscow by U.S. presidential envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Yelkoff, who have led negotiations with Russia in the past.

U.S. Secretary of State Mario Malin said last month that Washington was committed to helping end the war, after a meeting in Manila with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

The Russian diplomat there was no quick deal ahead and the U.S. was trying to "find a mindful ground."

Mr. Ryabkov said Russia was ready to listen to Mr. Rabin's new ideas and continue dialogue with Washington.

"The Russian Federation is ready to listen to any new ideas proposals and ideas that are in line with the goals set by the Russian President and meet the realities on the ground," he said.

After almost 45 years of war, Russia holds around one-fifth of Ukraine's internationally recognized territory. Moscow has repeatedly said it is open to talks, but that these must recognize the "new realities on the ground."

In the interview, Mr. Ryabkov also suggested Russia was born to mountain decanators with the U.S. on nuclear weapons.

"On New Chief nuclear maize respond in February, leaving the world's two biggest nuclear-armed powers with no binding constraints on their strategic accounts for the first time in more than half a century."

Moscow has said it will keep observing the nursery missile and various limits acting as Washington does the same.

"We remain open in the future to find a future, and fight back on it to stabilize this area," Mr. Ryabkov said.

Uoff embraces bold, tree hugging architecture

Trinity College's new Lawson Centre for Sustainability aims to get students in touch with the outdoors

ARCHITECTURE

A tree-hugger has slipped onto the University of Toronto's Trinity College campus. A four-storey building in dapper brown brick, the Lawson Centre for Sustainability forms a new courtyard of indigenous plants, including a tall, hugger oak.

"No one even noticed this tree before," laughs Francine Hoolters, of the Dutch firm Mezanos, who led the building design with Toronto's KEMA. "It was standby, next to a parking lot, and now it feels the whole building has been shaped around it."

Hugging on the Lawson Centre is one of the best institutional buildings Canada has seen in years. Not because of smart mechanism, careful space planning and an architecture that's tough, beauty, well-attended and just a bit irreverent. The design team, who were an invited competition, could try Hoolters' a major figure in Dutch architecture where much Mendy flashes of poetry with square-posed practicality.

Trinity is one of the University of Toronto's historical colleges, with a degree of independence and a specific culture. "The life here was strongly based around eating and coming together," she recalls. "But no one ever went outside. We thought we needed to change that culture."

The architects added a call to the new building, where students and passership can hang out by a fireplace, lounge on bright orange-charm and glide between the floors of patterned ceramic and the wooden beams that hold the place up.

The 92,000-square-foot building holds student residences (in be-occupied this fall), classrooms and an eatery. The residence rooms are bright and planned with depleting efficiency. Generous common spaces welcome students to come together under the embrace of the building's basic timber structure. Body beams and columns of spruce, pine and fir line the corridors and classrooms, supporting floor panels of thick spruce, all fabricated by Ontario's Elements.

The architects have left much of that wood exposed, pushing the limits of building regulations over the past seven years as Canadian regulators have down-fated air with clean timber technology, and the details are right. United ceilings conceal some of the mechanical gain of the building while allowing the leaves of the wood to draw through.

Topping it off is a quarter-arex rooftop farm. During a recent tour, a site's garage in students preparing to plant poppies, tomatoes and mainstream. Their crept will help supply a teaching kitchen on the building, which locally can use to connect food with the curriculum.

way that will look good in five or so years. Its Ontario limestone harmonizes with that of the adjacent Gerald Larkin Building, from up to 1,000 feet, the 1st,000 square-foot, and 2nd to 3,000 square-foot. (These bricks, baked under pressure, are less carbon-intensive than standard masonry, as KEMA principal Bob Goyche is claims.) Drop-out windows are scattered irregularly across the façade, providing a hint of playful noise.

It's a flocky addition to a place where tradition matters deeply: something I learned when I arrived at Trinity as a nail student, around the turn of the millennium. During my year in residence I was bemused by the Gobioggan thrash, the roles for dinner and the satirical poetry readings of the recent society. Spokesperson The college has long been associated with Toronto's office and with Aca playful poetry.

John Strachan, the glowing leader of Toronto's Anglican church, founded the college across town in 1912 to counter the secular now unworthy. It took 75

years for them to move here:

Today the Trinity campus provides a trip through time. First comes the face-mediced stone of "old Trinity," designed by Darling & Pearson in 1992, additions to that building, applied to Gothen language and tough-cut stone for the 20th century. The Lawson Centre slides in with ease. Its up-and-approach and landscape appear to serve an agenda that Jonathan Merle, the college's assistant professor, calls "a strong sense of welcome to all students, making them all feel that this is their place."

That's served by the configuration—a long, low-building—which covers a debt to Mezanos's outside perspective. The college had planned on a tower, but Hoolters saw the potential for a side that framed a new courtyard between the old college and the new addition. That was precisely the right move, extending the spatial logic of the quad that the University of Toronto borrowed from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.

There's still room for Fridays, games, and innocent gardens of in-

diagnosis proximate coming up to how do we tell Trinity feel about this? The alumni, generally a conservative lot, seem likely to have conservative taste in architecture. But the college's growest, Prof. Nicholas Terpetra, says that this was not so. "Nobody was asking for this to be a crafter building," he said. Getting a bit surprised himself. "The engagement has been very positive."

If I, as with the best university campuses, is a unique, it demonstrates the beauty of a city neighborhood focused on pedestrians and light on cars. The university recently completed a beautiful renovation of its central

campus, its future plans include linking up with the adjacent Queen's Park through the University Park plan. When that project happens, it will be on Trinity's doorstep. Hoolters has an idea for how to link to this growing green network. The Lawson Centre integrates a production kitchen and loading zone that will allow the college to clean up a side-interest and give it over to pedestrians and the greening of the campus.

"There's something important about a centre of higher education," Terpetra says. "You want to build for the long term, with less-thought and a strong sense of value."

TOW EXPRESSION THEATRE

IN A TIGHTFORD, 1917

Written and directed by Jozanne Sy

Dancing Agent Tong, Hindi Sy

Dampers and Menara Hara

"We've been being noble [would walk so much]" That acute observation lands halfway through the Tao of the World. Jozanne Sy's amusing romp through the fishes of Singapore's alternate. My son, who wants to a new year looks like a baby. Goldberg machines with plots spinning out in every direction. Heines with more Arabella (Agars Tong) is befitting on winning back her ex, famous actor Edward (Angus Gow) who became a member of Edward, day in the throes of producing the roots of endemic wants Arabella's sheltered cousin

MIRHAY (Hindi Sy Damayo).

But Arabella is used to getting what the wants. The calls in some favours from her mother, the befitting Lady Helena (Manara Hara), and her best friend Brosa (Karthik Kadam), deep in the throes of grief for his own mother. Lady Helena and Arabella knew what he's going through—Lakshmi was their most beloved servant, so of course they miss function, they say as they console their replicated friend.

The Tao of the World, loosely inspired by William Gorgonov's Restoration comedy. The Way of the World, is not simple. In prison and politics houses around like pinballs, lightning-quick, as Arabella smiles home on her head near Seon. Exciting intrusions in Singapore's strict penal code can't signify an accurate weight in the play's final moments, small costume pieces convey character notes that would never could. In this vein, Sy, who also admits, attempts to paint a penicillinic world, in which thousands of time details endorse him a portrait of Singaporean richness.

Often, he's successful. A second act interlude that shines a light on Singapore's working class is clear-eyed and timely, a daunting confrontation of the country's upper crust. A silly subplot involving Lady Helena's stochastic best friend Eleanor (Sara Joanna Stone) and Arabella's husband (Sara Campbell) and keeps the play buoyant and light even when Sy turns his focus in Singapore's imbalances of homosexuality, and the class scheme that allows the ultimate to treat the world as their tattoos.

But more often, The Tao of the World waffles between essential, big on those—excellent wealth, bad, righteousness good—and leading the plot over-brevied some production elements, as well, clash with the play's luxurious systems. Sophie Tong's cultural lighting grasps often leave as a clean, built-in, and still, waggling district from Ming Wong's otherwise excellent costumes. That said, an ensemble's worth of bright, layered performances help keep The Tao of the World chugging along. As Arabella, Tong

captures the simultaneous whine and fate of a petrified but emotionally starved notable. In moments of direct adition to the audience, she's sadistic and aloof, but as the play develops, so does she, adding depth and texture as demanded by the script.

Kadam, two, both into the script's public exploration: a racial and class disparities in Singapore, telling Britain's story so much with his eyes as with Sy's dialogue. His sorrows is grounded and bitterness, and a lovely foil to Tong's as Arabella.

Michael MacAune, the most of underwritten Wilson, a pompous—and downhill—dusty roaring from Canada. Hy makes a number of low-burging jokes about the country as well as the pronunciation of 'Regina'; Sy Damayo, too, does what she can with sweet Millicent.

But if a jinggy-broter Jozanne Sy, who stands out most in Sy's quality production. As Tom, he believes the play's message is a way that's surprising, funny and sharp and that adds—pardon the pun—richness to the production.

He carries the ache of the working class with simultaneous tenderness and edge; it's a masterful performance of a relatively small role.

In 1957, Crazy Rich Annex captured the antigens with its to-the-colour examination of Singapore's wealthiest cities. That move's influence is palpable as The Tao of the World, so too are the English comedy beats of sexual wit and high society satire.

So, yes, on the whole, Sy's play lives up to its marketing as "a made-up" of business-businesses and the modern focus-iron coin. But especially keeping in mind Sy's last finished Festival我觉得, the gorgeous, bruising television in China—something built-missing in The Tao of the World, appealing on its surface but oddly bland underneath.

Who knew being noble could walk so much? It's a worthwhile question. But it's one I wish Sy's latest dramatic personal with just a touch more maniac.

China's space ambitions inspire holiday experiences

Beijing's rocket program, once hidden away in remote deserts, enters the public sphere through pop culture

MAXIM SHENETOV

WORLDWIDE, 1/5/05

On a sweltering August paper, thousands on China's Human Island thronged the beaches around the Wenchang Space Launch Site, phonocrained, waiting for a show.

Shortly after 4 p.m., the Long March v4 rocket Human oil firm crowd roared as its secret lit up the night sky.

Moments later, the uncovered rocket turned into a hull of fire in mid-air, an unforeseen blast confirmed by Chinese train media a few hours afterward. Many appeared unaware of what had happened, as the fiery spectacle sent the beach crowd into a home. "Now!" people allred out.

Bodish launches are becoming both showcases of China's space ambitions and holiday experiences, even when space missions do not always go as planned.

Among those watching at Wenchang was Fu JinHua, a 40-year-old dextrin from the southern province of Guangdong, who had brought along his patrol, Yangzao "Guangdong is subtropical and quite humid where we're from, so I thought I'd let it such up the atmosphere and watch the rocket too," he said.

Mr Fu said he expects that within 10 years, ordinary Chinese people would be able to go to space for his just like taking a high-speed train or plane.

"Maybe in so or as years, we'll have our own version of Elon Musk, and we might even be able to move to Mars - who knows?" he said.

Once highly classified in remote deserts, China's space launches have increasingly been open to public viewing at the country's ambitions accelerate in a race with the United States. Many include a crowd move landing by 30(a) followed by a crowd mission to Mars.

These achievements are fibering-into public life - trivial in movies, presented through museum exhibitions and transformed into Instagram-worthy attractions. Space has become a collective cultural experience, with tourism, art and commercial branding all playing a part.

Most launching in that rocket in 2003, China's space program has advanced through a series of milestones: crewed flight in 2003, a first spacewalk in 2004, and by 2024 a completed space station. Its hinge program since delivered

That effort is on full display at Wahashada Volcano Geological Park in China's northern region of Inner Mongolia, where black volcano rock formations have become a Mars simulator.

against the backdrop of barren terrain while food vendors sell a unusual-shaped, strawberry-flavored ice cream.

Suppose, a 10-year-old rental shop owner, told Reuters she once charged to 10 100 yuan (few as to $20.00) for a set of spacecraft costumes, but prices have fallen to an little as 10 yuan

as more vendors have entered the market.

In Beijing's Songzhuang art district, an overgrown lot draws photo-talking pedestrians to a 40-set sculpture of a sleeping female astronaut - an other worldly work titled Hovemoto.

She is the protagonist of a novel by 35-year-old design artist and

40-h author Yang Yanning. The character, Chen Zilan, is to embark on a journey around the universe two years from now.

No, Yang said the perfect memory of space was in 2003, when she watched Yang Xuan he come China's first astronaut to space. Her grandfather, who usually talked to her only about food or school around, suddenly asked her to watch the TV coverage with him.

"It felt like all other activities were cancelled," Ms. Yang said, the nonumdered his eyes were glued to the screen, hands-on his legs, watching intently with excitement.

The memory has stayed with me so vividly because of the love and concern I felt for my grandfather I think the things we remember - and the impressionate certain events leave on us - ultimately come back to people."

For many in China, space is no longer only something encountered through official broadcasts or science fiction films, but at the beach, in public art, and even from an ice cream cart.

Our previous generations would never have imagined sitting here, enjoying the sea breeze, watching our own country's rocket launch," said Ms Fu back on the Hainan beach. "I really believe the future is not just a dream."

Investors betting Canadian banks will continue to book robust profits

STEFANIE MAROTTA BANKING REPORTER

Investors are setting a high bar for Canadian bank profits after share prices soared this year, and analysts expect lenders to meet these expectations bolstered by strong capital markets activity and rising loan demand.

Canadian bank stocks have surged 14 per cent this year in the lead-up to posting third-quarter results next week as the lenders withstood mounting concerns over trade uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.

The group is outperforming the S&P/TSX Composite Index's 14-per-cent climb and the 15-per-cent jump of the KRW Bank Index, which tracks U.S. lenders.

Analysts estimate earnings-per-share could increase about 15 per cent year-over-year and are cautiously optimistic that the Canadian banks will meet the lofty expectations of shareholders.

"We expect results to once again feature upside surprise potential on consensus EPS estimates, largely on the back of strength in the capital markets business, while stable to modestly higher [net interest margins] and improvement in commercial lending volumes, particularly on U.S. exposure, should also be counter-itive," Bank of Nova Scotia analyst Mike Rizzanovic said in a note to clients.

"Current elevated valuations remain a concern for investors heading into the quarter, suggesting a very high bar on results to get share prices moving meaningfully."

The banks have been focused on building their return on equity – an industry metric that measures profitability – while playing down the potential for larger takeovers to drive growth. With rich valuations in share prices, some analysts are watching for renewed interest in acquisitions.

"The M&A question looms," National Bank of Canada analyst Gabriel Duchaine said.

"With their stocks setting all-time highs, and with relative valuation versus U.S. banks stretching beyond historical averages, the M&A question will undoubtedly outlast during earnings calls. However, given the emphasis on ROI expansion as a strategic pillar, the M&A answer isn't clear-cut."

Roots' U.S. visitor eyes international expansion of fabled brand

TARA RESCHAMPS

The New York brand management firm that has signed an agreement to buy Roots Corp. wants to take the invited Canadian company and export it to the rest of the world.

If the proposed deal goes through, Marquis Brands, the firm behind Martha Stewart, Laura Ashby and Roberto Cavalli, says growth will be a top priority.

Chief executive Heath Golden said Friday that he continues his company bringing Roots to big markets such as Korea, India and Mexico and expanding the small province it already has in the U.S. and China.

"Many of our partners around the world want to be a part of bringing Roots into different markets," he said in an interview. "So we think the sky is the limit for this brand."

Roots has more than 100 corporate-owned stores in Canada but just two in the U.S., where it's been working to expand. A partner operates another 100 shopper Asia and the brand also has a presence on Trust, Alibaba Group's popular Chinese platform.

For the first time in years, you may want to buy government bonds

IAN McGHEAN

SERVICES

To uproar this week in global markets underlines our overwhelming fact: Investors can't spin on bonds anymore.

Fields on long-term government bonds are searing across the developed world, surging to heights they haven't touched since before the financial crisis is over.

To some eyes, the run-up in yields amounts to a long-overdue reappearance of the bond vigilantes – those semi-optical big investors who were once believed to push upmiddlesh governments back into line when we public finances got too far out of whack. Whether the vigilantes actually

exist is a fascinating question, but, one way or another, market losses are being down the law and demanding that investors recognize a new reality when it comes to long-term debt – the stuff that matters to 10 years from now.

For the first time in years, those long-term bonds are looking like a half-decent investment option. U.S. 20-year bonds are now yielding over 1 per cent. British 20-year bonds are at nearly 6 per cent. Those payoffs are more than double what was an other just five years ago and up substantially from even a few months ago.

The catch is that higher bond yields for investors mean higher borrowing costs for governments. For that reason, rising bond yields are unlikely to remain just a bond market phenomenon.

Making wishes come true with philanthropy

Stephen Scragg never dreamed he would become this involved with charity in his 30s

The organizers—Stephen, David, Lori, Keith, and Mark Scragg, Morgan Zudim

The pitch—Earning $455,000

The cause: Make-A-Wish-Canada Foundation

In a lot of people in their lives, Stephen Scragg had a lifetime of success and hoped to get involved in philanthropy next day.

“I was in at the time and the plan won to get donate to charity when I was old and rich,” recalled Mr. Scragg, now 9, that when a family friend died, Mr. Scragg’s son, who was unhappily hospitalized.

“I was like, it’s not a guarantee that I’m going to stay old and I might not get rich, so I should try and do some well right now,” he said. “So that kind of got the wheels turning and since I didn’t

have an immediate impact on a child or a family facing difficulty and he settled on the Make-A-Wish Canada Foundation, which provides children with critical illnesses a chance to realize

their wishes.

With the help of his parents—David and Lori Scragg—and his siblings—Keith, Mark and Megan Zudim—Mr. Scragg hold the inaugural Hope Run in September

2024. Around 200 people participated and the event came about 100,000.

The family has held the five-kilometre run every year since, except during the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ve raised $425,000 in total to his 2nd the cash run takes place Sept. 19.

Mr. Scragg moved to Toronto in 2023 to study and he remained in the city after joining the Canada Infrastructure Bank as an investment associate. He still spends as much time as possible in Edmonton and continues to help organize the Hope Run with his family.

This year he has entered a Hope Run team in Toronto’s Constantine Yorkville Run on Sept. 20. It takes money for a wide variety of charities and Mr. Scragg is hoping to sign up 50 winners for Make-A-Wish. If all goes well, both events in Toronto and Edmonton—will put the Scraggs over the $500,000 mark in total donations.

He never dreamed a decade ago that he would become this involved in philanthropy in his 30s. And he like to make for it. The charity would ‘ry just that’ with a lot of good people; for I would say at time but never, so, it’s just been a fun experience of meeting good individuals.

Dutch regulator fines Uber $1.3-billion for automating driver suspensions

TOBY STERLING

The Dutch Data Protection Authority has fined Uber Technologies Inc. €191-million ($1.3-billion) for deactivating driver accounts through automated systems without adequately informing them, according to an Aug. 17 decision reviewed by Reuters.

The property would be the second-largest issued yet under Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It is behind only a $1.3-billion fine imposed on Meta Platforms Inc. by Ireland in 2023 for unfundable manufacturing European Facebook users due to the United States, Mexico appealing. Uber said it would also appeal.

“We strongly disagree with this decision and disproportionate fine,” a spokesperson said, adding that the company takes drivers’ rights seriously and its policies include both human reviews and opportunities for drivers to dispute platform suspensions.

The Dutch authority confirmed the decision later on Friday.

“Uber has committed serious infringements,” in deactivating driver accounts

without warning or human involvement, the organization’s deputy chair Monique Verdier said in a statement.

“From one moment to the next they no longer had any income . . . A computer should not make decisions on its own that have (such) major consequences.”

European regulators have imposed billions of euros in penalties on large U.S. technology companies to accept reasonable privacy, competition and digital market rules.

Meta, Google, Apple and Amazon all face multiple fines, though headline fines are often reduced or reversed after years-long appeals processes.

U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized such fines and in April, a U.S. State Department official said they were the “biggest single source of friction” in U.S.-EU economic relations.

GDPR takes ban decisions made solely by computer algorithms when they have a significant impact on people’s lives, saying such decisions require meaningful human review and a way to challenge a decision.

Fine print of deal will reveal whether Carney won time to keep strategy on track

JOHN RAFLEY

OPINION

Contributing columnist for The Globe and Mail: We is an active and academic whose books include Why Enquire Ad and Sackgirl of the Money Gods.

When it comes to negotiating deals with U.S. President Donald Trump, the saying in Washington is that reaching an agreement with him doesn’t buy you peace, it only buys you time, lets your will be subject to his future whims. If in the negotiation he’s good what he sees as a weakness, such as agreeableness or a desire to please, he will return later to exploit it.

So, in assessing the deal that Canadian and U.S. negotiators have worked toward, the ultimate question will be, how much time did Mark Carney buy Canada? Will the accord enable the country to continue on the path his government has laid out of developing new industries and finding new markets on will it look as back to to the dominant embrace of our southern neighbors?

During the 19th federal election campaign, as voters considered whether to proceed with the free trade agreement prime minister Brian Mulroney had negotiated with the U.S., then Liberal opposition leader John Turner challenged his counterpart in a television debate.

“We built a country cast and went and north,” he said. “He built it on an infrastructure that deliberately resisted the continental pressure of the United States. For ten years we’ve done it. With one objective of a previous two years, that, thrown on into the north south influence of the United States and will reduce us, I mean, to a colony of the United States because when the economic losses are, the political independence is easy to follow.”

Nearly 40 years on, some consider those words to have been prophetic. While on the face of things, fine trade with the U.S. affected these decades of rising prosperity, we’ll never know how Canada might have performed bad it if there’s a different route.

What we do know is that our dependence on trade with the United States, already considerable, reached the point that Canada effectively operated as a part of the U.S. economy. It still wasn’t a colony, but Mr. Trump considered it ripe for picking as the ‘gut stain.’ That’s probably why, but up with the United Government’s strategy of slow-wishing trade talks, he found it back to the talks with the threat of so per cent tariffs.

But Canada may not be as vulnerable as it appears. Consider this: Prior to the advent of the FTA in 19th Canada already did it per cent of its foreign trade with the U.S. Over the next three decades, that rose to 95 per cent. While that might seem to reveal an extreme asymmetry, once Mr. Trump launched his trade war on “Liberation Day” last year and 100 imports from Canada, the total

share of Canadian trade destined to the U.S. Bill back to 98 per cent. Canada replaced its lost U.S. export revenues for shifting to other markets, and the economy southward the storm.

In other words, challenges bring opportunities, and Canadian businesses sound them. It turned out that Canada had not become a more economic colony of the U.S. and that it was able to survive a trade war within southern neighbors.

Meanwhile, Mr. Carney still enjoys a substantial public college over his American counterpart, Unlike Mr. Trump, who is deeply unpopular, face bristal digitalizing decisions to be written and has no mandate for this sort of trade war on Canada, the Prime Minister is popular, publically strong and enjoys a broad consensus among both the Canadian public and most provincial premises to stand up to the President.

What we do know is that our dependence on trade with the United States, already considerable, reached the point that Canada effectively operated as a part of the U.S. economy. It still wasn’t a colony, but Mr. Trump considered it ripe for picking as the ‘gut stain.’

Canada can’t just walk away from U.S. trade, economic poverty makes that impossible, for both sides that it’s as a stronger position than Mr. Trump imagines. If the government is negotiating with its own trade space, it will know that this deal won’t buy the country peace. But if the agreement buys it time to continue with its economic strategy of diversification and modernization, that will be a win.

The answer will be in the fine print. It tells of reviving the Keys’ time pipeline out of those hairless foreign governments throw at Mr. Trump to distort his vehicle ultimately lack much resistance, or will the government be required to reallocate resources to its competitors?

Will defense procurement requirements for many attacks of the autonomy to choose its technology? Will the U.S. get rights of force fund for critical minerals or energy that Canada could move profitably ship elsewhere? Will the country be denied the freedom to negotiate new partnerships with China and other emerging powers in, for instance, the electric vehicle market?

The more negative answers such questions exist, the more freedom Canada will have maintained to chart its own course. If the deal leaves Canada with the ability to maneuver its way into new markets and new industries, the government’s strategy can remain on track. Ignore the talk and look at the substance, because that’s all that ultimately matters.

Data centres' carbon emissions are rising. Time for an AI tax

ERIC BRIGHT SURVIVING

Companies that own AI data centres are worth millions of dollars. The centres' environmental footprints are enormous. Their demand for electricity and water is remission and their carbon emission output is surging 10% time for an AI tax.

Cooperative fees, presuming profits and pushing the environmental costs onto society, and so it is with artificial intelligence. No wonder that Americans, Canadians and European law training against the AI industry and the bridge for the vast deem A recent Gallup poll found that 75 per cent of Americans appear having data centres constructed in their area because of the environment in nature, they also worry about 50 triggered jobs losses and short trust AI medical advice.

As the AI industry expands, the fear and mistrust factors will rise, especially since AI companies are turning to fossil fuels in generate electricity. Yes, they want emissions-free generation—medical reactors, solar panels and windflames—but none of that can be built quickly, unless sometimes they decide to go from planning to production. A new gas plant can be fired up in three years, restarting a decommissioned plant can take only a few months, but the AI companies are taking the path of least resistance and lowest cost.

The Financial Times reported this week that 60 of the largest planned data centres to be built by Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta would collectively produce more than 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year since they come on stream. It equaled the annual emissions output to 27 coal plants or 24 million gasoline cars.

The International Energy Agency says gas generation supplies more than 40 per cent of the electricity used by the existing data centres in the U.S., followed by renewable energy at 24 per cent, nuclear at 10 per cent and coal at 10 per cent. As data centres multiply, gas – the third dirtiest fossil fuel, after coal and oil – will be 41% main source of additional power, it predicts.

The growth of AI's energy use has been astonishing. A June re-

RETAIL SALES RISE is 47% IN JUNE, JULY ESTIMATE SIGNALS DECLINE

Canadian retail sales rose 0.6 per cent to 19.4 million in June, but Statistics Canada's estimate for July suggested the gain was short-lived as sales cooled a month later.

The agency said Friday its advance estimate for July posted to a decline of 0.6 per cent for the month, though it cautioned the figure would be revised.

CIBC scores economist Andrew Grantham said retail sales surged at the end of the second quarter, but appear to have examined slightly to start the third.

Moreover, through the monthly volatility the underlying trend still appears to be gradually upwards and that improvement should continue into next year. "Hi Grantham wrote in a report.

For June, Statistics Canada says sales were up in terms of nine subsectors, including a 3.7 per cent increase at general merchandise stores.

Sales at clothing, clothing accessories, shoes, jewellery, luggage and leather goods retailers added 3.5 per cent.

Meanwhile, sales at food and beverage retailers fell 0.4 per cent as sales at supermarkets and other grocery retailers, except convenience retailers, dropped 0.6 per cent in June.

Core retail sales, which exclude gasoline stations and fuel vendors and motor vehicle and parts dealers, gained 0.2 per cent in June.

Sales at motor vehicle and parts dealers rose 1 per cent, helped by a 0.8 per cent increase at new car dealers, while sales at gasoline stations and fuel vendors fell 4.4 per cent.

In volume terms, overall retail sales increased 0.2 per cent in June.

TD Bank economist Maria Solovitsa called it another solid month for retail sales, with both core spending and real activity rising for a second consecutive time.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

port from Berkeley Lab in California said U.S. data centres could gobble up 0.6 per cent of total U.S. electricity by 2020, and the lab isn't ruling out consumption reaching as high as 10 per cent. In that range, the centres would be with industrial and residential air conditioning for electricity consumption, which raises the question. As the planet heats up, will there be enough power to keep both homes and data centres cool – and if so, at what price?

The surging demand for electricity makes AI part of the 40 main problem, and the AI biggest admit as much. If you travel through Amazon's sustainability report, you will see that the carbon emissions rose 10 per cent in 2024 over the previous year. As data centres are rolled out, the double-digit increase may become the norm, calling into question the

company's goal of net zero emissions by 2020. Microsoft's emissions rose by a quarter over the same period.

Throwing this much garbage into the atmosphere in the form of planet-warming carbon emissions (never mind the data centres' unquenchable thirst for cooling water) demands a response, all the more so given the rate of warming.

Heat records are being smashed across Europe (the summer and winter are drying up, farges in the Rhine, Germany's economic river highest, are salting at 50 per cent empty to avoid running aground. The drought and savage temperatures are pushing down crop yields for corn, potatoes, carrots, wheat and other foods. European countries are counting thousands of 'excess' deaths, no doubt caused

by the heat and the lack of residential air conditioning, a quarter or better decline in Western Europe have AC.

AI cannot get a free environmental ride, especially since the business is routinely taxpayer-minded. In the U.S., data centres can qualify for property and sales tax exemptions (usually at the state level), tax credits and tax rate electorate. An AI tax would help level the public-private playing field.

The main questions are how to apply the tax, at what level and when to do so: the proceeds. Various economists and politicians advocate a tax on electricity consumption or carbon emissions, or a revenue-based excise tax. Virginia, home to an ever-expanding cluster of centres, is leading the way. This summer the state approved a small electricity con-

sumption tax specifically for AI centres that is expected to raise US$900 million in the coming year.

The funds from any AI tax could be used to find new jobs for workers made redundant by AI, or to subsidize renewable energy projects or electricity rates for homeowners.

Collectively, the Big Four U.S. AI companies have a market value of more than US$10 million, double the size of Germany's GDP. They can afford an AI tax, but will no doubt fight the idea. A note from Brentford, a British organic farm, summed it up this month in a facebook post: "In our reservoirs run dry and our crops die, data centres will have plenty of water and energy and leapfrog the planning process – but who dares impede a look bro?"

Turning fortunes

Newfoundland looks to take advantage of interest in its offshore oil

EMMA GRANTY CHERRY REPORTER ST. JOHN'S, MILITARY

Three years after Norway-based Equator ASA passed the Bay du Nord oil project, planned for the deep, cold-water-off-fine and coast of Newfoundland, the potential development seems closer to becoming a reality.

Although Bay du Nord's future is no sure thing – a final investment decision from the energy company is slated for early 2027 – its fortunes have turned.

Equator has submitted a detailed development plan application and has launched calls to supply everything from pipes and valves to catering and medical services for the project. In addition, on July 9, Equator said it would buy 80' lbs.'s 27-par-cent stake in Bay du Nord to become the project's sole proponent, giving it more flexibility in the lead-up to the final investment decision.

The province hopes Equator promulgates the 354 billion project to help drive more development in the 20 per unit-ppied Flemish Pass Basin and spur investment in its broader offshore sector.

Industry groups, politicians and even nearby Nova Scotia see the Bay du Nord project as a harbinger of a future in which Atlantic Canada can fully tap into its energy ambitions.

Bay du Nord would also provide a much-needed economic boost to Newfoundland. The province is facing a 1000-million deficit for the 2026-27 fiscal year, rising to $15 billion by 2029-30, according to its most recent budget.

Oil and gas accounts for 18 per cent to 21 per cent of Newfoundland's annual GDP. The third largest oil-producing province in Canada, it pumped out 85.9 million barrels of oil in 2021, according to the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Energy Regulator (C-NLOER).

All of it came from four offshore fields in the Source d'Arc Basin, the centre of which lies roughly 140 kilometres (68' of St. John's).

The first offshore field to begin production was Hibertsa, which has been operated by ExxonMobil Corp. since 1987. Terra Nova, operated by Suncor Energy Inc., began production in 2012. White Rose, operated by Creevus Energy Inc., started up in 2019. Lardy, there's Hibertsa, also operated by ExxonMobil, where oil was first produced in 2017.

Bay du Nord consists of several oil discoveries in the Flemish Pass Basin, about 100 kilometres (68' of St. John's). The first phase of the project would tap roughly 400 million barrels of oil, with products in that to begin in 2021. It would be Canada's first deepwater oil development.

Ottawa has committed a leading derisk Bay du Nord. In 2021, it approved the project's environmental assessment and it has agreed to cover any loss that could be due under a United Nations convention because it sits outside Canada's exclusive economic zone.

And, in March this year, after Equinox and the province signed an agreement on how to devely up the development's anticipated rewards, federal Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson said that advancing offshore development would improve energy security, unked billions in royalties, create jobs and "produce oil with an emissions profile we can be proud of."

Jim Remskind, Equinox Canada's vice-president, has spent the bulk of his career at the company.

"I, already you that if Bay du Nord were a book, it would be a damn exciting read," he told the industry group Energy NE's conference in St. John's in June.

The story has "more than a few plot twists and come hard power," he said, including the massive setback in 2023, but it also "has the potential to shape the future of our province for generations."

That setback a few years ago came when Equinox put the project on hold for up to three years, citing rising costs. But changes the company has since made to the plan mean it's now more tenable.

Charlton Johnson, the third executive of Energy NE, said in an interview she can't picture actually in which Bay du Nord does not go ahead.

Between its potential economic windfall and the fact it would produce barrels with some of the lowest emissions in the world, the province and Canada need the development, she said.

There are several reasons: Ms. Johnson believes that the oil fields off Newfoundland present a broader development opportunity. She can't share of reserves under the ocean floor; the region's proximity to the European marine projects are already in the sea, so they can avoid overland pipelines, and, emissions are far lower than other means of production, including the oil sands.

That doesn't necessarily cut it for environmental groups.

After Ottawa approved Bay du Nord's environmental application in 2022, the Sierra Club Canada Foundation, a green charity, and Milgrawn's Tpkttagon Inc., a non-profit representing eight Milgraw Tpktt Games in New Brunswick, took the government to the Federal Court of Appeal. They argued that the approval process overloaded significant environmental issues and Indigenous rights, particularly around marine shipping. The court dismissed the appeal last month.

Also in June, C-NLOER launched its annual call for bids on exploration licenses. While the past three calls drew zero interest from industry, the province is confident that companies will this time raise their hands.

Byz-Keating to the CEO of Newfoundland and Labrador's Crown corporation for oil and gas, called D&Co, which leads offshore activities in the province. Much of his time is spent speaking with industry to attract investment, and he said countries that typically rely on the Middle East are now looking elsewhere for fuel.

"I get calls all the time – almost on a weekly basis – particularly from European refinery and commodity traders looking for new sources of supply, and they see the East Coast of Canada as a nice one. They just wish they was more of it," he said. "Every barrel that we can produce is going to find a home."

Mr. Keating also pointed to federal policies from Prime Minister Mark Garner, which offer more support for oil and gas development than those of his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

Premier Tony Wakeham agreed Canada has been "afraid to talk about" developing its natural resources for the past 10 years, he said in a recent interview.

But the current federal government supports that development, whether it's for critical minerals, hydro electricity, mining or oil.

Like Mr. Keating, Mr. Wakeham is optimistic about the next round of license bids, citing "a significant increase of interest" in the province's offshore sector since it signed the benefits agreement.

Under the agreement, the Bay du Nord project would provide up to $6.6 billion in direct revenue to the province over its first 20 year phase, through royalties, taxes and a possible equity tax. Equinox will also provide the government with a $250-million "lubrication fund" to build a Keating dry dock capable of serving ships weighing

more than 18,000 tonnes.

Mr. Wakeham's Progressive Conservative Party government has changed the bid process by introducing direct engagement with oil companies, in an effort to draw up more interest in exploration and development. And its most recent budget earmarked four million over three years to encourage new offshore exploration activity.

Nova Scotia also wants in on the offshore oil and gas action.

If Premier Tim Houston's plans come to tourism, they would lay the groundwork for an Atlantic offshore sector that could bring billions of dollars in royalties to a region that desperately needs cash and jobs.

Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador are different - his province has no subways, for starters - but a regional, Atlantic Canada industry "would be very complementary." Mr. Houston said in an interview

"Their success would be our success, and vice versa. When you look at the big world out there, a continual area having that much natural resource is good for the country."

Mr. Houston's motivation is largely fiscal.

"We're the worst performing economy in North America. If we want to provide the services that we think Nova Scotians have a right to export - in health care and education and roads and support - we have to have a better performing economy."

Commercial offshore oil and gas development would be nothing new for Nova Scotia, it was home to Canada's first such project. Called Coliseum Faraoke, the installation can from you to you and produced about an endless barrels of oil. Two later offshore gas projects - table and car, Faraoke - were decommissioned in 2010.

The previous estimates it has up to 148 billion cubic feet of offshore natural gas. Oil is estimated at around 25 billion barrels, though that figure is unproven.

Mr. Houston has spent the past year pitching Nova Scotia's energy development potential to oil and gas companies. At first they were confused, often saying "We haven't thought about Nova Scotia in my years."

That is slowly changing. In February the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada began a regional assessment of oil and gas exploratory drilling off the coast of Nova Scotia. Its goal is to figure out how to reduce timelines for project-specific impact assessments.

Through the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Energy Regulator issued a call for link for exploration business in 15 years. It only received two successful links, both of which went to Halifax-based buoyers Old and Can Ltd, but Mr. Houston said it was a good start.

Meanwhile, Eganizer's Mr. Retreford is optimistic about the prospects for the oil project off the coast of St. Johns.

But she loved them a right timeline, and its success will require close regulation. A previous deal went that progresses "with focus and at pace," Mr. Retreford said.

"During matters, clarity matters, predictability matters."

Ships near the Strait of Hormuz are seen from a plane flying above. Since March 1, there have been 1,324 'dark,' crossings - where vessels turn off their tracking transponders - in and out of the Persian Gulf, according to Kjoke, a maritime data firm. THOMAS HARDEN/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Spike in 'dark' oil tankers in Persian Gulf gives risk of catastrophic spills

LISA FREDMAN: GINDON

The risk of a catastrophic oil spill is ecologically sensitive waters around the Strait of Hormuz has hung over the region since the start of the war in Iran.

Now the threats are increasing, maritime experts say, as the conflict has widened and more tankers are navigating the region's waterways with their tracking transponders turned off to dodge military strikes and drone attacks.

The advent of transponders and more advanced navigation equipment has made modern shipping and rail car drivers on collisions and spills. Turning them off, or going "dark," is a perilous activity typically reserved for vessels under sanctions or carrying illicit loads. But since March 1, there have been an alarming 1,524 dark crossings in and out of the Persian Gulf, according to Kjoke, a maritime data firm.

"When more ships become invisible, situational measures decline," said Karole Madani, director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health.

"In a narrow and strategically congenial waterway such as the Strait of Hormuz, reduced transparency adds another layer of environmental risk," Mr. Madani said.

These risks are compounding across the region. These different oil shifts are spreading through the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, according to maritime security experts who are studying the spills.

"One has reached the coast of Iran's Qodam Island and its sensitive mangrove ecosystems. The spill is believed to have been caused when a projectile hit a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Aug 3. By Wednesday, the spill was about to per cent contained, Almudicera Lubipanadah, a deputy at Iran's Department of Environment, said in a statement.

A second slide has been spotted near the island of Iran, in oil and gas and in the center of the gulf. The origin of that spill has not been verified.

Most worrisome is a tanker known as the Carelbor-Botonga, which was carrying nearly one million barrels of Russian crude bound for Asia. The ship operating under international sanctions, ran aground off Oman after an unexplained explosion in early June. The ship is believed to be part of a so-called shadow fleet that Russia uses to circumvent Western financial restrictions on its oil exports.

The slick now covers an estimated

up to 800 square kilometres and is seeping into a tanker reserve that is home to endangered hawkbill and green sea turtles, Arabian Sea humpback whales, and thriving coral reefs. The oil has begun to wash up on the beaches of the mainland, as an area known as the Turtle Coast.

"These are not simply slides that disappear when they are no longer visible from satellites," Mr. Madani said. The oil can contaminate beaches and coastal habitats, and have lasting consequences for marine species and potentially human health.

None of the active spills have been directly attributed to a vessel's going dark to avoid human military strikes. Yet experts warn that the tactics of warriors survival are now overlapping with the unsafe habits of illicit shipping. Whether turned off to dodge drones or to evade sanctions, disabled transponders eliminate the safety buffers designed to prevent oil spills.

Before the United States and Israel launched airstrikes in Iran on Feb 28, more than 330 vessels per day passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow channel between Iran and Oman.

Ships occasionally suspended their navigation devices. These were mostly vessels linked to Iranian oil and other exports under sanctions. But they occurred in small numbers, and many maritime data firms didn't even track the tally.

That changed with the war Iran has fired drones and missiles at dozens of tankers travelling the Strait of Hormuz, including two in the past week. They alter the war began, ships traveling in and out of the Persian Gulf began shifting off their transponders.

According to Kjoke, about 100

ships were responsible for the 1,524 dark crossings since March 1. The vast majority were travelling without insurance.

Iran's national oil company owns 50 of these vessels. The others are linked to companies in a variety of countries, but primarily the United Arab Emirates, Greece and China, including Hong Kong.

Karen E. Young, a senior research scholar at Columbia University focusing on the Middle East, said that until Gulf oil-producing nations were able to add pipeline capacity to avoid the Strait of Hormuz, unsafe navigation practices would continue. State-owned oil companies will have an advantage, because they are more likely to own their own tankers, the said.

"The future favours national oil companies that can assume risk and pay for things," Mr. Young said.

Since 2004, the International Maritime Organization, a UN standards-setting agency, has mandated the use of ship-slantifying systems on virtually all large international cargo ships as well as passenger vessels.

With it, vessels share information including their position, speed and path for radio to coastal offshore stations. Other ships and agencies use it to avoid collisions.

"It's not 'nice to have' equipment," said Dunston Amputis, a senior risk and compliance analyst at Kjoke.

They captains have the legal flexibility to turn off transponders for safety reasons. Mr. Amputis is noted. But in normal times, that is, there with the permission of the country under whose laws a ship is registered, known as the flag state, and an insurer, he said.

The war in Iran has led captains to make more decisions on the fit. The risks are heightened because captains have become more reliant on the sophisticated equipment.

"They have done this manual way of crossing the sea with an a-broom in their classes," Mr. Amputis said. "It means we are turning back to the technologies we were having on the vessels as something years ago, and we do have increased exposure to collisions."

That means, potentially, more oil spills.

Robin Mills, the CEO of Qamar Energy, a consultancy noted that the waters in the region were already under pressure from overdrifting, decallations and climate change.

"Another major spill would be a disaster," he said.

First board revamped amid 4.3.6-billion suit

Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board are among the company's investors

JAMES BRADSHAW REUTERSHIP, DEPUTING, REPORT

Major shareholders in London-based FNC Group, including Canadian pension funds, overheaded the board of the financial withheld, and the 2024FNC fund to 4.3 billion the company's finances and final off an ongoing shareholder lawsuit seeking US$1.6 billion.

FNC provides a digital wealth-management platform used by the FNC Group to create including North American clients such as State of Montreal, Two of Canada's largest pension

funds over significant stakes in the company.

The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, the first-annual board pension fund that manages a 4.3.6-billion, is FNC's largest shareholder and invested early in the startup in 2024.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPB), the country's largest pension fund with 104.6-billion of assets, invested US$1.6-billion in FNC in 2024.

Since then, the company, which was founded in 2003, is a 2024FNC, has run into significant challenges that include a lawsuit from the industry shareholders and using financial issues that FNC incurred as it expanded rapidly into Europe, North America and Asia. The overhauled board with several new directors has a number of missing the company's business model to bring it "to a more sustainable, more mature level." Caisse chief executive officer

of Charles Emond said in a recent interview.

FNC has a "great product" that also a high "cash home rate" designed to be retired in, he said. Earlier this month, FNC swapped its board chain, appointing Stephen Mullis and along his experience working with regulated financial services businesses in Britain. Previous chair Gregor Stewart is staying on the board as chair of its risk committee.

Five of the company's 1.4 directors were replaced previously, including two board seats on behalf by the Caisse, 2 of July. The 2024FNC, such as the Shaw, an operating partner in the Caisse's private equity division, and Denis Tuscott, managing partner of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.

FNC's chief financial officer, Ausholt Kamat, left the company in July after a year and a half in his role.

The company reported a pro-

tax loss of US$1.6 billion in 2024, a roughly double in loss in the previous year – even as revenue rose a year rate to US$1.6 billion, according to the company's most recent filing.

"We brought in a new chair because we thank you know, there's a lot of challenges in that situation," Mr Emond said. "He's just not a chair then he promises. He's really an executive chair that has experience as to how to come up."

Spokespeople for the Caisse and CPPB declined to comment on the lawsuit against FNC as it is below the court. A spokesperson said FNC's will not immediately be reached for comment.

The minority shareholder group that is using FNC in a New Zealand court has returned the company's leadership and its largest shareholders, alleging that the decision is to be a possible, based on internal engagement metrics.

Instead of sticking to prior

cost-cutting measures, FNC raised billions of dollars and then stamped up its spending, only to save "in another 5 years and heavily reduce costs." FNC co-founder Mike Stevens, a former employee who is part of the shareholder group using the company, said in a news release.

"A number of things have simply don't add up," he said.

The group alleged to the lawsuit that their ownership stakes were unfairly diluted when the company raised new capital several times, starting in 2024, on terms that gave its largest interest rate挪挪挪.

The company's 2024FNC participated in those fundraising rounds, including a US$6.0-million equity injection that was undertaken after the lawsuit was filed.

The minority shareholders are taking US$1.6-billion in resolution. The company is controlling the lawsuit, which is not to without merit.

China orders record 4.3-million-vehicle recall over retractable door-handle risks

KEITH BRADSHAW ISLAND

The Chinese government announced its biggest act recall over Friday, forcing state automakers to address the dangers of retractable door handles popularized by Tesla Inc. particularly for electric cars.

The recall involves a 2-million vehicle's Most of the automakers, including Tesla, will attack others to their cars to show where the handles are located. Tesla will also push online software updates to the cars so they will deliver will-press automatically after a crash.

Consumers about the doors have also flared in the United States where families have used Tesla, claiming to design a new detector and before the deaths of people will could not exit the company's cars after accidents.

China's State Administration of Market Regulation said Friday that Tesla and eight Chinese automakers – Early Shopping, Xiaomi, Chevy, Beijing Automotive, First Aid, Mobile, Laxpress and Xipeng Inc. would each be conducting recalls. The largest of that in the world is the Tesla, one of the latest 2-million cars, with the other manufacturers resulting a total of 1.5 million cars.

Tesla has long been one of the biggest sellers of electric vehicles in China.

The recall follows growing public anger in China about 2024, in which drivers and passengers, as well as more than half trouble finding and operating interest and exercise door-handle during fares. Now have been a problem in some electric cars, particularly today, which is that used less stable battery chemistries that are prone to

extreme overheating and/or collisions. In early February, Chinese regulators have been able to identify more handles from new cars starting next year. Many of these handles are promoted prompting concern about whether they will work when the car suffers an electric/airfeller, or can wear it following a crash.

Chinese regulators have allowed the consumer to install their own retractable door handles that do not become flush with the vehicle's surfaces. In the United States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has begun drafting new regulations as well.

A video was widely circulated in China's history as a "flying driver car that offers a knee in southwestern China and caught the following a collision with a truck. The driver exited, allowing his door to close behind him, but then had great difficulty fighting and there is a critical risk of passengers. He was eventually able to do so

with the help of another motorist.

The crash, which left the passengers with burn injuries, took place in March, 2024, but did not become widely known until this year.

Tesla popularized retractable door handles as providing a more streamlined look, although automotive engineers have said that the actual gains in aerodynamic efficiency are modest. Chinese makers of electric cars quickly followed that in the 2024FNC expanded from 2024 to 2024.

Many electronic door handles rely on a 2.3-million-vehicle recall to create a new retractable door handles that do not become flush with the vehicle's surfaces. In the United States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has begun drafting new regulations as well.

High-electric cars and plug-in gasoline, electric cars represented three-fifths of the cars sold in China last month. As China leads the vehicle in advance of electric automotive technology, David Zhang, head of vehicle, believes that it's a result at the end of the 2024FNC. The Energy Technology Institute, said the enormous recall showed China's real times to set safety standards for electric cars.

Automobiles, quality and safety issues have been improved through repeated ap-

dates," he said.

In the United States, lawsuits and news coverage about electronic doors have prompted federal regulators to begin shuffling new rules, a process that could take many months and would apply to new cars several years hence.

In California, Tesla faces lawsuits by the parents of two college students who died inside the emergency. Other much after the pickup-graded drive in the 10-Pediment car, it affected students in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2024.

The young people were unable to escape the leading vehicle, the real claims, because the electronic doors were disabled in the 2024FNC, and it was too difficult to find manual release mechanisms.

Tesla is something the task, arguing in court things that the victims were a slight gross caused their deaths. A jury trial has been scheduled for next year, according to court records.

The candidates on Friday also announced a separate recall of 2.3-million cars on China to enhance the capacity of its cars to monitor whether drivers are paying attention to the results from seldom while automated driving systems are stopped.

Tesla will transmit software to all of the results of cars in the San Francisco car more reliably monitor drivers' eye movements and overall alertness.

Tesla established Western and Asian automobiles, including BMW, Road Motor Co. and Hyundai, have also started installing electronic doors, including in some cases on board fuel and hybrid models.

Transa3's fuel costs surge by more than $100-million

MONTRÉAL

The parent company of Air Transat paid more than 2024 for 2024 in the last quarter due to the ripple effects of the fear we, prompting the company to seek further federal aid.

The cost of fuel bought by Transat A.T. Inc. climbed by 2024-million in the 2024-2024 month, which was 2024-2024 and 2024-2024 period with a year earlier, the trend company said.

The amount also marked a year-on-year increase from the additional expense Transat paid in the preceding 2024-2024 quarter, according to chief executive Arnold Gabel.

Combined, the two quarters saw the Transat-based company pay an excess of $100 million in the US$1.6-billion, with a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC

For an outfit that made $24.3-million in total last year – and that lost nearly 8.4-

million in 2024 and 2024 combined – the expense stands out on the income statement.

Blue skies have yet to emerge for an inner-bridge market reliability to expected to keep up the pressure on 2024FNC costs across the industry, the company said.

In North America, 2024FNC costs nearly US$1.6 billion, a factor up almost 1/3 per cent from the year before, according to the company's 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC, a 2024FNC

Transat's ability to pass higher fuel costs on a year, so again remains "very bitter" off. The company said in a statement. As a result, it is in talk with the federal government "to explore potential solutions."

Last month, Transat accused up to 8.4-million in federal aid to help offset the roaring price of 2024FNC.

"But more recent increases resulted in a consistent in the hooking mechanism – the demand went down," prompting the airline to lump down fares and remove some fees, she said on fares 1.

The idea of Transat's loan from July will be found in the 2024FNC, in the rest of fuel in the window between late July and Oct. 23 and the same period last year.

The financial relief came less than two months after Others announced a loan before available to airlines struggling to cope with dry-high oil prices and the dashed flight schedules and lower profit forecasts that followed.

Volkswagen needs deep cuts to remain competitive, CEO says

Volkswagen chief executive officer Oliver Blame wanted an Friday that the car suzera's problems would only intensify in the coming years, arguing deep cost cuts were needed in keep Europe's top automakers afraid as it goes up for weeks of crash talks over a planned 2024FNC.

Mr Blame's comments, made in an internal company motorsport by Reuters, come as Volkswagen'sவர்களுக்கு what is considered to be the best of its restructuring, possibly ranging from the 2024FNC to 2024FNC, to the 2024FNC out of some divisions.

Squeezed by aggressive Chinese competition making to Europe, falling profits in China and painful import tariffs in the United States, Volkswagen is struggling with doubling profits and costly overcapacity in Europe.

"The situation is more than critical," Mr Blame said in the memo, adding that while current margins of less than a year can were solid in the current environment, "it's the no-coupon efficient to generate enough funds in the long term for new technology, new products and our sites."

Volkswagen's supervisory board is scheduled to meet on April 8 to continue its discussion on the turnaround plans.

Mr Blame, who will not work tour Volkswagen plans at risk under the current turnaround plan, said the German campaign's overhead costs remained more than 2 per cent higher than those of comparable firms, adding that "not only be he had to do so many companies."

Volkswagen's supervisory board is scheduled to meet on Sept. 4 to continue its discussion on the turnaround plans, according to people familiar with the market.

Once a fast-fashion star, Shein fights for a second act

Hong Kong listing nears as U.S. sales weaken and doubts grow over future growth

SOLLEE WEE

Shein was near one of the most talk-al-about companies in retail. It could spot what Generation Z wanted and, within days, turn those trends into 50-line mesh drowns and 55Hz crop tops. Its clothes were so cheap and its churn of new styles was so relentless that eShambad became a phenomenon on TikTok. Shein overtook bigger rivals such as Zara and H&M, started planning an initial public offering and, at one point, was valued at nearly 150,000-billion.

Now the buzz has faded. After years of delay, Shein is close to going public - this time at a fraction of its peak valuation. It is searching for new ways to grow after the United States and Europe dismantled tariff exemptions on cheap goods that had helped underpin its low-cost model. Sales have fallen sharply in the United States, its largest market. And the company has offered investors few specifics about where meaningful new growth will come from.

For a company as keyed as it was for such a long time, the music has seemingly run out," said hanna Kzaniketan, an independent e-commerce analyst.

No Chinese fashion brand has been as successful as Shein at going global. And yet the company remains unusually inclusive.

Its founder and chief executive officer, Shy Xu Yangtan, is so private that used his appeared publicly in February, most photographs circulating online purporting to show him were false. Even a senior overseas Shein executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the media, said he had never met or interacted with Mr. Xu.

Shein declined requests for an interview. The timing and pricing details of its market debut have not been announced, but the company filed a prospectus with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange last month.

Shein has taken pains to distance itself from its Chinese origins. In 2016, it established its headquarters in Singapore and deregulated its original Chinese corporate

entity a few years later. The aim was, in part, to navigate Chinese rules governing companies setting offshore listings and clear a path toward an IPO in New York.

The strategy failed. In the United States, Shein encountered intense, bipartisan scrutiny from lawmakers over its supply chain and labour practices. After abandoning its New York listing effort in 2018, it turned to London, where it faced similar resistance from non-governmental organizations and other properties.

That left Hong Kong as the last major stable venue. But after years of delay, analysts say Shein may have missed its moment.

The turn toward Hong Kong has also put Shein in the awkward position of having to re-embase the Chinese identity at once tried to play down. In China, the company has faced criticism for "blooming in China but hearing fruit abroad" - a phrase suggesting that Shein built its success in the country while redirecting profits overseas.

From, in February, the famously chaired Mr. Xu suddenly appeared before officials in Guangdong province.

"Guangdong is Shein's root," he de-

diared, announcing that Shein would invent about 1500,000-billion over the next three years to build a supply chain both there.

Chinese media initially covered the speech. Then some articles began disappearing from the internet. Jia Minghe, a veteran journalist, posted a notice showing that Shein had demanded that his public WeChat account remove an article about Mr. Xu's appearance, citing "intlingement."

Even as Shein recalibrates its relationship with China, a more fundamental problem hangs over any potential listing.

Jiangsu Li, founder of Momentum Works, a consultancy that has followed Shein closely, said prospective investors had told him that they sensed little enthusiasm from its founders.

"There hasn't been any effort to drain up interest," Mr. Li said. "I don't feel there's a strong desire for the management to make the company public, aside from the fact that the investors want to exit."

Shein is now trying to convince investors that its future goes beyond ultra-cheap clothes by selling access to the sys-

tem it built to design, produce, market and deliver products quickly.

So far, there is little evidence that the supply chain strategy is paying off. Since offering the service as a pilot in 2019, Shein has signed up only about 20 brands. The program generated less than a per cent of its total net revenue in 2019, according to the company.

Shein Hong, a director at Chatcom and Co., an investment-hunting firm in Beijing, said Shein succeeded in just because it was willing to squeeze its own costs and margins - trade-offs that often brands using its platform may be unwilling to accept.

"It's hard to use any outstanding advantages in Shein's transition," Mr. Shein said.

Shein is also branching out into furniture, cosmetics, pet products and electronics. Non-apparel goods accounted for more than a third of its revenue in the first quarter.

Other analysts are similarly skeptical that Shein has found a second act.

"It's not clear, what than really cheap, ultrafast fashion, what they're going to be able to generate," said Nishanta Kodak, an e-commerce expert at Forrester, a research agency.

Shein's first act was remarkable. The secret was a system built to compress the traditional fashion cycle. Shein used algorithms to track emerging trends, then placed initial orders of a few hundred units to test demand. The model allowed it to introduce approximately 4,700 new apparel styles a day. Zara, by comparison, produces 20,000 a year, according to analysts.

Shein paired that technology with an industrial ecosystem concentrated in Guangdong, where spinners, weavers, warehouses and small factories could rapidly manufacture orders as small as 100 pieces.

But Shein has struggled to duplicate its Chinese supply chain model in countries such as Turkey and Vietnam, according to Li of Momentum Works. At the same time, competitors such as Tamsi arrived with even broader product assessments and even lower prices.

Mr. Kzaniketan said he had scoured Shein's prospectus to find the answer to a question that he'd had for years: "What is the future of Shein?" He added: "I don't think we got that answer."

88 REPORT ON BUSINESS

Why China thinks it can resist Trump's threats

President warned of economic consequences on nations doing business with Iran

DAVID WEBSON REEPY WANG, 1992-1993

BY ANACUSE

A Iran's largest trading partner, China would overstimulate from much in Iran from President Donald Trump's threat this week to support "territorialism and the strong power" on the trans doing business with Iran.

For decades, China has drilled Western sanctions on Iranian oil by buying up to 20 per cent of Iran's oil exports. China has also supplied Iran with technology and its own oil supply, which are several of missiles and drones.

But Beijing has reasons to loot confident it can withstand Mr. Trump's latest strategy. If it is to an Africa's own, China's own, and more analysts see the war in Iran, which the White House seems unable to end on favorable terms, as a sign of America's mounting weakness.

"The threat reveals how desirous the Trump administration has become on the issue of Iran," said Ms Xiahe, a leading American studies scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai, who advises China's Foreign Ministry.

"They issue this threat not because they think it is workable, but because they have no other options," he said, to get out of this "self-tested dilemma."

In a news media post Wednesday, Mr. Trump vowed to enlist an "economic 0-Buy" on Iran, as well as to punish countries that "provide any type of lifeless" to the country. On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett implied that it was in China's best interest to co-operate.

But China might be feeling unmolded at the United States withdrawn military assets in the South, that were largely meant to prepare power in Asia. Next to Earth, that included moving the UN foreign Washington aircraft carrier out of the region to support operations in the Middle East.

Lin Jian, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, said Friday that China opposed unilateral sanctions and that pressure would not resolve the crisis in

Iran.

One major reason that pressure may huddle against the United States is that China is equipped to cut the supply of oil and minerals to US companies, including makers of US weapons, which have been depleted because of the war.

China demonstrated the power of this sholubalid when it forced Mr. Trump to pause a liberating trade war into year by turning oil on critical minerals exports. That dirents has largely held.

The threat of economic consequences now raises questions about the durability of international nearly smooth before Mr. Trump is scheduled to host China's top leader, Xi Jinping, for his first state visit to Washington sources.

Mr. Trump and Mr Xi last run in Beijing in May, as a summer that China interpreted as highly successful Mr. Trump did not challenge Mr. Iran drivers around. But the status of China, the self-governed island, claims the strategy, and he was allusion in his peace, calling Mr Xi a great leader.

"I doubt other side wants Iran to derail Xi Jinping's upcoming

visit to the United States from their Trump has clearly attached considerable importance to his relationship with Xi and to the visit itself," said Wang Zizhen, a foreign policy analyst at the Center for China and Globalization, a research institute in Beijing.

Mr. Trump's threats could also just be blasted, Mr. Wang said.

"There is by now a considerable credibility discount attached to individual statements by President Trump on Iran," Mr. Wang said.

Regardless of Mr. Trump's warnings, China's interests in the Middle East are marked Iran is strongly chosen foreign parties in the region and a below-author status regime that wants to weaken US global power. At the same time, China has deepened ties with some of Iran's rivals, such as Saudi Arabia, which could have been a major economic opportunities than Iran.

In a newsreader from the Trump administration would pressure China to cut its business ties with the United Nations and he would hold a news binding邻域 in a private news details.

Washington could try to interrupt the flow of Iranian oil to China, which often goes through

small, independent Chinese relations, known as ingent.

These refineries are less exposed to U.S. sanctions because they are usually discontinued from the global financial system. United States' industry is stop up immediately of the ships that carry Iranian oil to Chinese refineries, or it could increase its scrutiny of funds that help Iran launder the Chinese yuan that it receives from the leagues as payment.

China has also misapplied months worth oil and increased its purchases of oil from Russia to account for reduced oil from through the trust of দিন-maz.

Getting China's access to discounted Iranian oil could also have Beijing's purchase-zone oil elsewhere, which would likely raise global oil prices.

The Chinese's interest in the foreigner, said Dan Fanning, a professor of international relations at Kermian University of China in Beijing, "is un-Not and cannot be a good one."

However, he added, "it will also be too much which does not serve the interests of either country."

Roots: Shoppers of the Canadian brand shouldn't expect anything dramatic, CEO says

But the Golden won't just lean on global markets for growth. No direct return Roots to build out its home, camping and hospitality businesses without forgetting, well, its roots.

The retailer was started by Michigan suitors Michael Budman and Don Green, who met at an Ontario咖啡厅 using to the visitors and decided to open what eventually became Roots worth of the business to say. The brand, which sells apparel such as swar goods and leather accessories, is shading huge, has since become a beloved market of Canadian.

"The brand is intended to be credible," said Mr. Golden, who labeled himself a "long-time ad-interior of Roots and father of two girls who have the company's clothing to their clients."

"It is loved in its home market and it is loved around the world, so nothing here is broken. This is really about just continuing to build it out."

Mr. Mimran was drawn to the partnership, in past because of how involved Manager gets in its brands.

"When you have a partner like that, as opposed to somebody who just looks at a brand as a cash cow, it makes a huge difference," he said in the same interview with Mr. Golden.

"This is a very emotional brand. It's an emotional brand for Canada and if you don't have mixed emotional corners, this thing can go terribly wrong."

For now, it appears the two are on the same page, sharing a pool of figuring out how they can best steward the brand but also sales it to a global audience.

It's a lofty look, Mr. Mimran admits, but one for him more than prepared for, especially because boarder Mr. Green sent him a "beautiful" note expressing confidence in the arrangement.

"I always feel pressure," Mr. Mimran said. "This is a pressurized industry. It's money by our own, it's a product at a time, but I've been doing it for a long time."

The key will be making the product sale of the business because that's what customers care

about, Mr. Mimran said.

While the question of how the brand could transform under its possible new ownership are still taking place, Roots (Old) Meghan Beach signalled the doesn't expect anything dramatic.

"I don't think you're going to see a Roots friend that doesn't look like the brand you expect," she said.

"I think you're going to see this team getting in place a lot of exciting things that are going to bring the brand forward in really good ways."

Ms. Beach and Mr. Golden do not need when asked if she'd be staying in the top-ode after a sale.

Ms. Beach said it was too early for such decisions.

The partner Roots as interim chief financial officer about seven years ago, rising later to its top job.

Before that, Ms. Beach had asked at private-supply firm Searchlight Capital Partners L.P., which bought a majority stake in Roots from its founders in 2023.

Under Ms. Beach, the goal was to retain the retailer to a question of strength. Her worked-in do this by moving the retailer along from markdown and fashioning itself into more of a prestige brand that occasionally partnered with popular founders such as the Toronto that later had Toronto Troops.

The new money will likely find any harm to charges the company's product, anentment even further to grow its store count and expand its wholesale business, said Lisa Jettard, co-founder of the Retail Strategy Group.

"This is how about representing Roots and more about giving customers what they want from a Canadian brand," - declared Jettard, the Manager of the Retail and a relevant investment that they would actually want," she said on an e-mail.

The thanks the biggest risk they run to shutting the brand, which often happens to be giving a range into which they "update" too broadly or focus too heavily on short-term growth.

But if they can keep focused, Ms. Jettard thinks the partners ship with a "big deal".

"IMA's has a proven track record of building commercially successful brands," she said. "Manager has the money to make it happen."

Banks: Commercial lending shows signs of picking up even as demand for residential mortgages is expected to remain muted

© PRISM 81

On Tuesday, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of Montreal will report canning to the three months ended July 30. National Bank will post results on Wednesday, New d Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce will wrap up the week with canning release on Thursday.

The bank's threat of an economic downturn initially prompted concerns over whether banks could continue to share and higher profits, analysts say Ottawa's attempts to diversify trade relationships with the bank have business-related initiatives have helped prop up growth.

"Several trade negotiations, PM (carry) appears to have revived investor sentiment toward Canada through a business-friendly policy agenda," Bank of America analyst Bradem M. Franconda said.

Towards the end of the next event, the bank lead, where the PM is inviting 50% of the world's largest investors to a customer in Toronto in mid-September, could favor strengthen expectations for a multi-company market. The banks should be major beneficiaries," he added, referring to the Canada Investment Summit scheduled for September in Toronto.

"Health equity markets have boosted trading activity, propying up capital markets and wealth management costs. And the bank's market is expected to continue on the back of some major deals in recent months.

It is shaping up to be another strong market for corporate and investment banking revenues," Raymond James analysis Stephen Ballard said.

"Health financing conditions, obvious equity markets, and active client paycheck should continue to support mergers and acquisitions, equity capital markets, and debt capital markets activity across the group."

While loan growth has slowed as consumer and businessers face the pressure of high borrowing costs and economic uncertainty, commercial lending has started to show signs of picking up even as de-

ward for residential mortgages is expected to remain muted.

Data in May from Canada's banking regulator, the name of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, indicated that loan balance rose to per cent from the month prior. That implies that loan growth could climb to the mid- to high-single digits, according to CIRE analyst Paul Hobbie.

Commercial lending is leading the two increasing 1:1 per cent from the prior month across the six biggest banks. Foreign currency commercial balances increased at 10 per cent month-over-month, and above amounts growth of 0:1 per cent. Mr. Hobbie said.

When U.S. banks started second-quest for results in July, total loans grew about 2 per cent from the previous quarter, led by a 4 per cent rise in commercial balances. Mr. Hobbie expects BMC with 30 large banks in total business, to benefit from this trend.

Even on another remain skeptical that share price valuations will remain lofty as economic challenges persist.

"With a high degree of uncertainty still embedded in the banks' outlook, the market continues to shrug off concerns and allocate record high multiples," Jelleison analyst John Alden said.

"While we do not believe that the third quarter will pull the top out from under the conditions, we have to do this. But canning will need to grow into their current prices, which is far from a near term guarantee."

RISING NORTH AMERICAN STOCK CUT LOSSES

North American stocks rose Friday and trimmed their losses after a shaky week that in shaded a jumpy bond market that continues to rise.

The S&P 500 rose 0.4 per cent for just six second gain in the six days since setting its all-time high last week.

Pipelines aren't cheap, and for good reason

Big names in the energy infrastructure sector have been struggling in recent weeks and now look tempting

DEEP FIVE

Betting on rising demand for Canadian equity and the economy, the idea of a treasure right now, given the world's rising energy needs, and supply disruptions outside of North America.

There's why the recent dip in Canadian pipeline stocks looks like an intriguing opportunity.

The biggest names in the sector have taken in on the chin over the past four weeks. TC Energy Corp. (T&P) 11 and Eritology Inc. (ERP) 10 and Bloomberg. 1 out of 10 shares in the latter's declined as much as a per cent each from

their recent higher near the end of July, before a rebound on Thursdays.

That put both stocks well into correction territory, even as major benchmarks, including the S&P 500. Compounds Index, to which close to record highs set about a week ago.

Other players on the sector are performing better - but not well, South New Corp., the crude of which risk that was equal off from TC Energy in 2024, fell almost 1 per cent since July 24. Frontline Pipeline Corp. fell almost 8 per cent.

Granted, investors who have held any of these stocks over the past several years are probably not being much doing over the recent setbacks, given the gains for an likely sitting on.

South New is still up nearly 18 per cent this year above, not including dividends. TC Energy is anymore than its per cent over the past two years.

Nonetheless, the reversals suggest that energy infrastructure plays an facing a few headwinds. Canada's structural valuations, the same age, put before the South New uptoall. TC Energy languished as index systems em-

mated earnings from analysts and backwood with a dividend yield above 8 per cent - an attractive payment for staying out.

By July, the price-to-earnings ratio had ballooned to 15: which was well above the 10-year average of about 17 times earnings, according to told Global Market Intelligence. The dividend yield led to about a per cent offering an offset reduction of 4.5 per cent.

Also, the backlog that federal Board yields have surged worldwide as investors grew concerned about massive government deficits and rising inflationary pressure.

This week, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond was above 1.25 per cent, hitting its highest level in nearly two decades.

Minutes from the Federal Reserve General this week suggest that most officials foreword raising interest rates last month. The implication: borrowing costs could use this year.

That's not good news for pipelines with buyer's debt loads. Being bond yields can also make dividend paying stocks look less as market went to fixed income

alternatives.

There may be problem pressure at work in the soft-off, such as some investors rotate out of stash pipelines and into companies with exciting exposure to soaring oil prices.

"People don't want to increase their energy weight, but they want exposure to oil. So they buy the oil producers instead," said Laura Lee, chief investment officer at Toronto-based Reimpton Panels.

Lastly, there is no guarantee that energy producers will jump at the chance to using up production.

But the bullish case for pipelines estimates compelling.

After years of regulatory opposition to expanding pipeline networks, Ottawa is trying to solve the a public-sight of Canadian energy production through new infrastructure that will spur additional oil and gas engines. As well, power hungry if data centres and a more general debt to identification is raising demand for energy sources longer term.

Treasure Home. TC Energy's chief executive officer, said on a call with analysts in late July that

the company's latest outlook points to a 20-per cent increase in North American natural gas demand over the next decade.

Greg Hall, CEO of Eritology, added this hit of colour on his company's conference call with analysts in last week. The widening array of opportunities, he said, reflects "possibly the best environment for growth that we've had in recent years."

The company's first hit not exactly reading in bargain territory Eritology's price-to-earnings ratio declined to a low of 2.5 earlier this week, down only a smidge from a high of 2.5 in its July. The valuation remains well above its change in 2.5 in 2024, when it languished at about 10.

Perhaps low valuations are a thing of the past, though - miles of an era when we were counting down the days of bond last production - and governments dreamed are a result of expansion.

Pipelines are control to Canada's emerging energy policies. For investors who want should performance, and investors dividends, declining share price look like a gift.

How did the future Order of Canada however and Canadian Company's very first photographer in midwest, may an actual dream job me summer? the bend herself, naturally.

When I was in it, really wanted to be a golf pro. That I discovered my dad's camera and went back to them and said, "I'm going to be a photographer." She looked at me and said, "You're not going to make a living being a photographer." I'm trying to become a golf pro was more realistic. I thought, I'll show you!

I planned to start at Blacks, which at the time had camera stores all across Canada. I prepared and applied and got all dressed up and put a fair-out "No." I was decorated. I still remember the day and what I was wearing and my big box had been I'd tried so hard. Then I thought maybe Blacks was too competitive, so I applied next to Barry Queen, and they said no, too! That's all of work for me to give up.

I was stubborn enough that I figured "But I'm sure of you are going to live out then I'll just him myself." By us, I was studying photography at the University of Ottawa and invited it job in the camera, so it made sense to continue driving and learning my craft. The way safe, so value was found now, but everyone doing it was

either really low-end or really high-end. Not that I knew what that meant. I just thought that video was taking off and it would be lots of fun to do wedding and special events.

Video was so new then that it wasn't even really taught. I had to learn it myself because I had no idea what I was doing. Nobody did, though, as nobody had a trip to camera then. I kind of fell into my first choice - not fun weddings, obviously, but insurance videos. I'd slowly walk around

people's homes filming all their stuff to make a video for their safety deposit box. I did this for friends first, sometimes for less, and then they'd recommend me to their friends.

I advertised with posters in camera stores - not Blacks, obviously, independent camera stores. At one point they noticed me and I was actually hired to the job I thought I'd wanted. I only lasted a few months. By then, I'd realized I wanted to be doing something more exciting and

for myself. I wanted to be out there in the community.

So I quit and went back out on my own. By then, my parents had changed their minds and fully supported my photography career. I'm so grateful to have supportive parents because I'd never have had the confidence to do this without them. I went all in a typical door to you to upgrade my work. I got a nice group, computer to generate titles and Genlock to get it from the computer to the 700. I had to teach myself editing, which was slow-moving.

And so weddings in my first year, then at the next year, then to. I did weddings, but materials, events, commercial work, a hedley video. There wasn't anything. I said no, no, really. I was working too near weeks sometimes, so I had to hire support staff. The more people I hired, the more equipment the business needed. It got bigger and bigger, which is what business is all about.

As a young female in a male-dominated industry, earning people's trust for their wedding day wasn't easy. I mean, the first wedding I don't had been active performing, so I got why people were reluctant to hire a teenager. And I did that wedding, then another and another. Every time people asked me how old I was, and every time I had to prove myself I realize it would have been a lot easier to just work at Blacks, but way more boring. What a gift it was that Blacks didn't hire me.

McGugan: Canadian 30-year bonds are paying the most since 2009

© PRISM 81

They have the potential to entitle stock prices and shake the broad economy.

The 30-year bonds are not, too, full. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bennett staged a massive intervention this week, doubling the Treasury's purchases of long-term U.S. bonds in an attempt to put a lot on rising yields. (Sond yields move in the opposite direction to bond prices, so Mr. Bennett's hope was that his purchases would drive up the prices of long-term bonds and thereby drive down their yields.) At last report, the intervention was having little effect.

As of Friday 15.5, 30-year Treasuries were yielding just over 1.5 per cent. their highest payout since 2007. Other countries are also considering a similar increase in borrowing costs. British 30-year bonds are yielding around 1.5 per cent. their highest level since the last years. Meanwhile, Canadian 30-year bonds, even with a relatively estimated 1.5 per cent yield, are paying the most since 2009.

To be sure, many countries faced just fine with bond yields higher than the two or three days. The 30-year bonds are being a comparison minor, though, is how much things have changed in 30 years. Thanks to massive borrowing during the financial crisis and the pandemic, most countries are far more indebted than those who took in the bid.

The United States is one of the most significant cases. Back in 2007, on the eve of the financial

His three towering levels of debt with rising bond yields and return to a sleeping up with an outset payments soars to uncertainty levels. Interest in bond yields gribble up about 1.5 per cent of the U.S. federal budget, which shows that the country speaks on national defence. Rising bond yields threaten to total interest costs upwilling even higher.

A similar thought are quite overextreme situation holds true in Canada, where interest costs on the federal debt account for just over 10 per cent of federal spending. Rising those interest expense, or costs Ottawa nearly as much as

it sends provinces in health transfers. The last thing it needs is for rising yields to swell its interest fall even more.

What can governments do to rising bond yields back to earth? For starters, they can hope. Bond yields have been pushed up in a state where it's massive, but sector borrowing. If the standards to build data centers for artificial intelligence slows down, the competition for lower could save and interest rates might sink.

In the long run, though, the only sure way to sustain bond yields is for governments to set down their deficit issues. The less that the public sector has to lose was the less pressure there will be on debt markets.

Unfortunately, cutting public expenditures is harder than it

sounds. Aging populations, disruptions caused by climate change and artificial intelligence, as well as an increased need for national defence—after powerful requests to spend.

The situation is particularly due to Washington. It is running enormous deficits, equal to 6 per cent of gross domestic product, with no cost to open. Cutting the deficit down to start would involve either charging but increase or at burial costs to public service. No politicians to eager to explain that reality.

Investors are scrambling to figure out what comes next. One possibility is that Mr. Bennett will succeed in capping long-term bond yields, but that markets will

express their skepticism over Washington's financial condition by dumping the U.S. dollar. Inofficients and gold jumped this week as traders wanted to play this "deficiency enough" by buying alternatives to the grandkids.

But many paths are possible. Washington could surprise everyone and make a serious effort to address its budget problems, even at the risk of causing an economic downturn. Alternatively, investors could find the new yields on long-term bonds so attractive that money begins to shan out of a stock market targeted by recent flights.

The one sure thing is that the bond market is back to charge. Get used to it.

How can Sydney prepare to retire early?

With a partner who is retiring in the fall, this 20-year-old herpes to join him in 10 years

DIANNE WALEY

FINANCIAL FACILITY

Sydney, who is 30, hopes to become early to spend more time with his partner, Daniel, who is 40.

Daniel is planning to retire by 1998 and 2003, 2008. The family is a child who will return to the next 10 years and they plan to pay for his higher education.

Sydney earns $100,000 a year in the finance industry while Daniel earns $100,000 a year in communication. They share ownership of a house valued at $1.4 million with a mortgage of $200,000.

Daniel has a defined-benefit pension that will pay $10,000 a year,高等院校 to inflation. He also has a $1.4-million registered retirement savings plan. Their retirement spending goal is $100,000 a year after tax, rising in line with inflation.

Sydney calls whether he can adopt a retire in 10 years or so "to spend time with Daniel while he's young and able," he writes in an email. What steps can they take to ensure they are well prepared financial?

We asked Ian Calvert, head of wealth planning at HighView Financial Group in Oakville, Ont., to look at Daniel and Sydney's situation.

WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS

Daniel and Sydney have accumulated substantial investments, including about $200,000 each in their tax-free savings account — "a great accomplishment," Mr Calvert says.

Daniel is retiring this fall and Sydney would like to retire in years from now. "They have a 20-year age difference, so Sydney's early retirement at 20 is their primary financial goal," the planner says.

After Daniel's retire, they will still be in a positive cash-flow position thanks to his pension and Sydney's income. With Sydney's income of $100,000 a year and Daniel's pension of $20,000 a year, they will have a gross benefit income of $20,000.

This should give them enough cash flow after having to cover mortgage payments of $4,000 a year and their lifestyle expenses of $100,000.

Although their expenses will be covered plus a small buffer, Daniel should think about a change for his 10-million in RRP assets, the planner says. In any scenario, having the correct beneficiary in place is important. "Since the rate of Daniel's RRP assets is 10% increase in age, Daniel should ensure Sydney is listed as the maximum constraint on the account." This will ensure the remaining RRP assets can

be transferred to Sydney on a tax-deferred basis when Daniel dies. "With the age gap and the rate of Daniel's RRP, there is a high probability these assets will be funding Sydney's retirement after Daniel's dies," the planner says.

Daniel should consider getting a small head start on his RRP withdrawal. The years he lives over and you will be doubtfully in the lowest income years for Daniel. These are the years before he converts his RRP to a registered retirement income fund and begins making mandatory minimum withdrawals at the age of 75.

As well, his income will rise when he begins collecting government benefits at 75. "At age

$10,000

Assets: Cash in bank $35,000; non-registered investment: $145,000; Sydney's TISA $482,000; Daniel's TISA $686,000; Sydney's WSP $420,000; Daniel's WSP $1,200,000; Sydney's UBA $85,000; Sydney's defined contribution plan $10,000; registered education contribution $41,000; residence $1.4 million. Total: $4,194,000

Estimated present value of Daniel's defined-benefit pension: $700,000. That is what someone will do to pension would have to save to generate the same retirement income.

to, his minimum RRP withdrawal is projected to be $10,000 of taxable income," the planner says.

Assuming before is still working, those would be so benefit to Daniel splitting any income with Sydney through eligible pension splitting.

From 2007 to 2018, Daniel's income is estimated to be about $100,000 a year between his pension and some small investment income. He could withdraw 1,000 to $10,000 from his RRP if these years to have the funds taxed at a favourable rate. Mr Calvert says, His marginal tax rate would be 20% per cent and he average tax rate would be about 10% per cent. He could use the surplus funds in into our

Monthly outlays: Mortgage $1,500, property tax $700, water, sewer, garbage $35, home insurance $85, electricity $120, trading $200, maintenance, garden $250, transportation $320, pensions $450, child care $500, clothing $100, gifts, charity $500, vacation, travel $600, other discretionary $100, dining, dress, entertainment $100, pension, car $40, club membership $235, pets $200, sports, hotland $85, subscriptions $50, other personal $50, health care $420, communications $210, WSP $2,000, WSP $500, TISA $1,100, Total $12,000. Liabilities: Mortgage $362,000 of $20 per cent

both TISA or comfortably add some additional expenses."

This head start would also lower Daniel's minimum RRP withdrawal at 75 to about $10,000.

When Sydney return in 2018, a few things will happen, the planner says if they follow the same mortgage payment schedule, the mortgage would be eliminated in 2018, which is ideal timing with Sydney's retirement and the loss of his income," Mr Calvert says.

When his retire, Sydney should convert his RRP to a RRP and his bedside retirement account to a 10% income fund (UK) and start minimum withdrawals the planner says.

"In their first year of being retired together, they will have

combined gross income from all sources of about $100,000 with inflation," he says.

This total income, less $100,000 in income taxes payable, will provide enough after-tax cash flow to meet their indexed lifestyle spending of about $100,000 a year.

Based on this withdrawal plan, they could comfortably spend more and more worry about the longevity of their assets or Sydney's early retirement," Mr Calvert says.

When Daniel is in, they will have the future value of their real assets. An RRP, projected to be $100,000, plus a combined 10 million in TISA assets. That assumes they contribute $10,000 a year to their TISA and that they can achieve a 10 per cent rate of return on average.

They also asked about home renovations and car replacements over the years. These items would be one-time costs outside of their estimated physical expenses. With the rate of their TISA and their non-registered savings, the planner says, they shouldn't worry about these one-time or occasional big enough because their investments are not required for their annual retirement cash-flow needs.

If possible, they should use their non-registered assets first for big expenses and preserve the TISA assets, assuming they can raise the funds without incurring a large capital gain."

The high cost of pitting generations against each other

Policy professor at UBC and founder of Canadian Sponges, Canada's leading voice for promotional interest. You can follow San Sponges or K. Kozlowski, Blundie and Instagram, as well as subscribe to Paul's Hard Traffic podcast.

The Pacific Increasing in Canada is generational, and they are country miles apart.

But we are running from another Nile to the recently appeared as a Old Times headline. Drawing on pitting from African Data and Nation Research, the article suggested that "the generational split will increasingly become a more comprehensive political division than the national will be in a divide."

The headline won't surprise my regular readers, who know that diverging financial fortunes are at the most of misrepresented. A clear picture of Canadian have lower poverty, higher incomes, more home ownership and the most wealth. By contrast, home ownership has become a waiting game for younger Canadians looking for business a new. Both the most common pitting boomers, the promise that hard work will be eventually made increasingly out of reach.

While understanding, Mr. Vance's warning frightens me. The widening gap on hope between younger and older generations is whether their not only for economic stagnation, but also democratic decline. Folklore worry permissible your incline politicians to exploit misrepresented friction. A party 'can't be its fault takes' judged African chief executive officer David Coldritz.

That may be a shrewd electoral calculation, but it would be a different mistake for the country. Political parties can and must be for both young and old alike. These counting the boomers' mix should appreciate that most don't want to be communicated on pitting the ladder up behind them. Like parents everywhere, boomers want their children and grandchildren to inherit a country as hopeful, generous and secure as the one they inherited and helped shape. Hope that better days are ahead is one of a country's most valuable public assets. It gives people confidence to start businesses, invest in communities, raise families, treat democratic institutions and sacrifice today for tomorrow. What hope you're for younger people, so does much of what allows a country to flourish.

That's why rebuilding hope for younger generations must become a defining nation-building project of our time.

We've seen what happens

The widening gap in hope between younger and older generations is a bellwether not only for economic stagnation, but also democratic decline.

when permissible becomes tribal in the United States, when Democratic and Republican don't just disagree, but despite each other.

We cannot afford a rich of politics that treats generations as competing songs. If millionaire and state government boomers, obstacles, and boomers come to see younger people in the state, we erode the misrepresented case on which our systems of medicine, retirement income, housing situation and climate action all depend.

Canada can never our generational forages without pitting young against old. It starts by acknowledging that Canadian pro- and pro-polyers better at protecting the living standards people have already achieved their creating comparable opportunities for those still trying to build them.

Old Age Security is an egregious example, as the disavowal of a local column. It delivers about $100,000 in annual subsidies to retired couples even when they have household incomes exceeding $10,000. This is difficult to justify as supports for families with children and grants for post-secondary students are phased out when their household incomes are more than $100,000 lower.

Since Ottawa is on track to split into 10 billion on OAA subsidies for retirees with six figure household incomes by the end of this decade while still anticipating that 100,000 seniors will in

the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year, more than 10 billion in the same year.

It's no wonder that there's quarters of Canadian under 20 and over 80 support a vision of OAA that begins to phase out retirement subsidies for households that exceed $100,000 in income, more like 80 by 80 other cash supports. The reform would leave OAA benefits for its per cent of seniors unchanged in improved, because most seniors do not have such a high income. This would go about 10 every poor seniors above Canada's official poverty measure, help a million young people afford rent, strengthen Canada Student Grants, support underemployed youth and create $100,000 additional $10,000 for child care space.

Some are the day-to-day politicians should fear updating OAA because of the human vote. Most boomers think it appropriate to ask the minority of retirees with six figure household incomes to take a little less so poor seniors can escape financial necessity and younger Canadians can get ahead. They want public policy to reflect what they should do around their fall, but the public help their children build a future event, hoping for.

When a RIT's adjusted cost base drops to zero

Investors should be aware of the tax implications of trust's distributions

ANDREW GALBRAITH

INVESTOR CLINIC

I purchased two real entries in investment trusts – Charcoal! (CAN OR CAN PROBES? (PROVID) – more than a decade ago, and they pay out their distributions mostly as either of capital. Each now has a 50% of the capital. By next year, their book cost could each be less than $10. Can they have a negative book cost or does their book cost just drop of one? How do I value bile my capital gains if I call?**

It may help us consider what we mean to book cost. I'm going to use the Canada Revenue Agency's term, adjusted cost base, or ACE.

And now you buy these in RIT? units, you're exchanging money for an asset. Your cost base is the value of the money you exchanged plus any transaction costs. If represents the value of any investment you haven't yet paid, you can't think about it as other way, the money you will have lost up to the assets.

Another way of looking at your adjusted cost base hitting zero is that you've recouped your entire initial outlay. Anything more is profit, which will be taxable. SEAN KRAMER/UNION CANADIAN PRESS

If nothing else happens and you call these assets, your capital gain is their current value minus your cost base, minus any transaction costs. You get back your money and, hopefully, a bit more simple enough.

If you've been investing for 2 while, though, you know that your cost base can change. So called "phantom" distributions, you miss the ACE of an investment. I return of capital, or ROC, distribution generally reduces the ACE.

ROC distributions work to the advantage of both real estate in

investment trusts, or RIT's, and investors, said Mark Lohndy, a financial planner at the House the 1st Group in Victoria.

"The investment compounds with less tax drag and the tax bill gets pushed to the eventual end. That dividend holding, which suits RIT's, since they constantly need capital for new projects and would rather investors step put," he said.

"From the investor's side, a capital gain is usually raised more lightly than interest, and when it extends too, especially in the top brackets."

"When you get an ROC distribution, you are recovering another bit of your investment. Another way of looking at your ACE letting zero is that you've recouped your entire initial outlay, anything more is profit.

Speaking of profit, the Canada Revenue Agency would like a word.

"If the ACE of the units of the trust is reduced below zero during the tax year, the negative amount is downside. The capital gain in the year," the CRA says on its website under the tax issue, month of manual funds page. The new ACE of the units is subsequently identical to the units. It adds, so you won't see a negative ACE in practice.

A capital gain means paying tax.

"ROC only stays tax-free while there is cost base left to scale it up," Mr. Lohndy said. Capital gains are still more tax-efficient than other distributions, but in the case of ROC distributions with an ACE of zero. "No, did you it alone," he said.

As for selling your RIT? units, with an ACE of zero the actual formula for calculating capital gains simplifies to grow proceeds minus selling costs. Generally speaking, you will be raised on a per cent of the gain at your marginal tax rate.

But Mr. Lohndy said there are a

low other things to consider.

If you have a large position, you could hang into the alternative minimum tax. While regular capital gains tax only applies to half of your gain, the ACE counts all of it and up to the same as it is not federal tax on anything above the exemption—this gap for zero.

To practice, the catches people who realize a big position your without much other income," he said. "She's a minor selling a few hundred thousand dollars, units with a 10 cent base.

If you're collecting Old Age security payments, you also need to become of the clawback. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal.

With half of your capital gain going into your net income "it does not take a huge sale to get a good deal." The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal. The money is a good way to get a good deal.

Even if you don't call, someone who is a good deal, you can't be able to get to count as capital gains, they need to be included in your net income, too.

Why this $25-billion money manager added Couche-Tard and sold Telus

REGION BLOW

THE WOKER

It's not that Scott Lynakowski is just worried about the potential for a near-term market pullback, but the money manager wants to "reassessably counteractive" an equity markets, particularly in Canada.

"Over the short term, there's lots of things to worry about, lots of volatility, lots of things happening that underneath the various might cause (some investors) to dial back their risk," says the managing director and senior portfolio manager at BBC Global Asset Management in Vancouver, who oversees about $25.5-billion in assets.

However, in the medium-tying term, Mr. Lynakowski says he follows markets will be supported by accelerated earnings growth, driven by higher spending in areas such as artificial intelligence and infrastructure, as well as fiscal and monetary policy.

Mr. Lynakowski, head of the Philips, Hager & North (PNGN) Canadian equity team, expects Canada's growth to come from three main sectors: energy, materials and financials.

The American THEN Dividend Income Fund currently has about a year cost financials, it per cent energy and it per cent industrial.

The fund returned to it per cent more than and at a per cent of the year's (1,000,000) firsthand. One-year annualized returns were in a per cent and is per cent, respectively. The performance is based on total returns, not of loss, as of the year's earnings.

The 2006 spoke with Mr. Lynakowski recently about what he's been buying and selling.

Name these stocks you've been buying recently and why

Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. is a long-time non-holding and a stock we've been adding to in the past three months.

Level, Que.-based Couche-Tard is one of the largest convenience

and fuel store operators in the world. It's an exceptional open star with a long track record of earnings growth, return on to vested capital and dividend growth. It has built-in global best asset through disciplined and accretive mergers and acquisitions.

Last July, it walked away from a proposal to buy Seven & 4 Holders, the parent company of 7-Seven. The price was getting a little too rich. We thought it was a good decision. That's one reason we decided to add to our position. More importantly, we started saving signs of improving fundamentals in the business. Long-store sales growth has been improving in the U.S., and we are starting to see early signs of improvement in Europe. It's also generating very strong fuel margins right now.

Furthermore, Couche-Tard recently announced its intention to acquire 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Crescent Energy Inc. the Gulfport-based large-gar energy product, is another long-term holding that we added to this year's starting this period of oil price volatility.

Mr. Lynakowski, head of the Philips, Hager & North Canadian equity team, expects Canada's growth to come from three main sectors: energy, materials and financials.

It recently acquired MEG Energy Corp. The dual closed line last year and added more than 10,000 barrels a day of production and significant reserves adjacent to its Christina Lake property in southeastern Alberta.

Crescent expects to create sales from this acquisition through operational and capital investment synergies.

The company has used some of the excess free cash flow generated by high-oil prices this year to buy back stock and pay down debt it issued to finance the MEG

Energy transaction. It has also shown some improvement in its U.S. refining business, which had challenging operational problems and a cost the last couple of years.

So, the combination of these two months good interest for the stock's performance relative to its years.

TTI International Inc. the Saint-Laurent, Que-based, end-sized North American trucking company, is a stock we started buying earlier this year.

The more follows our increased exposure to Canadian railway stocks last year, as the water-energies from a multi-year freight recession.

As with railway stocks, trucking companies benefit from these recoveries as median players and the industry and steady demand from a robust economy leads to higher volumes.

The combination of higher rates and volumes leads to poor costs for being leverage as revenue grows and margins improve, resulting in a meaningful increase in free cash flow.

In the most recent quarter, TTI reported a 30-per-cent increase in operating income on a

7-per cent increase in revenue. Increased profitability and free cash flow generation also open the door to future growth through MEA, as well as to enhanced shareholder returns from share feedback and debt reduction.

Here's a stock you sold recently

Telus Corp. is a stock we started selling in October last year and extend in January this year, after adding to the turnover.

We believe our decision to sell Telus makes our flexibility as correcting our actions after making a strong decision.

When we added to the stock more than a year ago our thesis was that the competitive threats of new entrants into the wireless industry were casing, valuations were very attractive and we had a view that once competitors set their down price, it would be able to show some better pricing discipline with their wireless products – and that would normalize free cash flow levels.

While we've seen some casing in the competitive pressures we were all expected to make the proposal in the West, which is Telus's budget! That has put pressure on the free cash flow generation. Higher capital expenditures also showed its poorer ratio. It became apparent to us that Telus would need to cut its dividend substantially, so we decided it was time to cost our position.

Since then, the company engaged in third executive offices, hiring Victor Brally – former CEO of CBR – earlier this year and it recently cut its dividend 20% in per cent.

The company has done a major asset of its company outlook to the most recent quarter and the stock hasn't performed well.

That said, we are still reaching the stock and may consider buying it back. The valuation is very attractive. The company has been spread some time with the management team before considering buying it back.

Is my family financially prepared for a serious illness?

VIVIAN VASSOS

If I were diagnosed with a serious illness tomorrow, then you had a problem my family is financially prepared?

We asked Colleen Sutherland, advisor at Sun Life and partner at BC Foresight Financial Services Inc., to answer this one:

A serious illness can be one of the successful life. The events that already even the best fuel financial plan. To understand whether a family is prepared, Mr. Sutherland begins by asking her clients one practical question. If your income stopped tomorrow, how

long could your household continue operating without taking an debt?

The convenience you start by identifying the essentials, such as your mortgage or rent, utilities, food, transportation, childcare and other fixed commitments. "Ideally, your family should have an emergency fund capable of covering approximately six months of expenses," Mr. Sutherland said. "Your income breathing room during a short-term disruption, but a serious illness may have a much longer financial impact."

First, take inventory of non-resource available to you. "Across your workplace benefits, sick leave, disability coverage,

critical illness insurance and any coverage held personally or through a person," she said. "It's destined what each benefit pays when it begins. how long it lasts and whether it would be taxable, whether that year will, proves of absence, beneficiaries and important financial information are also organized and current." The also advises that your family should know which conditions you have, what it means for your health, and who to contact.

Sutherland also does both sides – as along time financial advance and as a cancer survivor. Sutherland said, "I would be pleased with Hodgkin lymphoma at an autopsy being healthy and having no family history. It was a

complete shock."

As a business owner, Mr. Sutherland had to consult her family as well as her company and the people who relied on it. "I would be pleased with the actual illness insurance provided a case that being sure benefit does co-ordinated with my disability insurance and workplace benefits."

That preparation mattered investment because being costs did not decrease when Mr. Sutherland became sick. "They increased. During six months of chemotherapy, the business was a very poor, but it was away from work when necessary, order made where did not hold and take the breaks my body needed,"

she said. Most importantly, it removed a significant source of stress during the most difficult health experience of her life, allowing her to focus on insurance charges and maintaining a positive mindset.

There is no personal formula for preparedness. "A strong plan should reflect your family, lifestyle, obligations and priorities," Mr. Sutherland said. "The goal is to co-ordinate your savings, benefits, insurance and legal planning so that, on your toughest day, you are not trying to figure everything out for the best time."

Suspended tennis star Kyrgios takes another shot at redemption

CAPITAL

KELLY

OPINION

The first thought you had when you heard that former Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios had tested positive for cocaine was probably: "People still do cocaine?"

I thought coke went out of fashion around the same time that using it billed a few people. But I guess some guys won't believe a thing is true until it happens to them.

Kyrgios hasn't bothered denying it, which is a nice change. None of this "I was making myself a fang and, you know, I thought it tasted funny" business that everyone else tries to pull off. Perhaps winning that no one anywhere was going to believe him, Kyrgios instead issued a statement of apology: "I'm sorry to my fans, my family, my sponsors and everyone close to me. Above all, I'm sorry to the kids who follow me. I know the example this sets and I'm deeply disappointed in myself."

Roger for a second the doubtful idea that kids are looking to Nick Kyrgios for moral guidance. Why would anyone under the age of majority think about him at all? Tennis-wise, he hasn't done anything in years.

It's not entirely his fault. Blame the replacement of human on-court officials

with disembodied Al values. Now there's no one out there for Kyrgios to reduce to tears.

He's suspended for now. He'll soon find out for how long (probably a few months) to the interim, Kyrgios said, "I'll do the work and come back better." Who?

Kyrgios is 21, but it's an old 19. Once ranked 12th in the world, he's down to 19th. Whatever remains of his celebrity rests entirely on his past reputation as a wild man.

It's not like anyone thinks he shouted, or would care much if he had. Coke doesn't make you better at tennis. It makes you better at deciding to paint your kitchen at 1 in the morning.

If anything, this sort of career-defelating choice fits in with Kyrgios's public image. At the very least, he is back in the snow. Looking slightly past that, you can see the real goal here: redemption. He'll "come back better."

Redemption is something most of us try to avoid having need of in our professional lives. Sure, as a teenager, I was up continuously fired from Ontario Place. Have I been redeemed on that score? Since I told my mother I'd been laid off, midday in midsummer, which she didn't buy, which then forced me to go out and get another, even worse job, probably not. There was a lesson in that and I learned it - the next time you get fired, don't tell your mom.

What's really behind the transgender participation debate? People who are afraid of women's sports

RACHEL GEEF

OPINION

By all measures, the 30th season of the WNBA has been an unprecedented success in March, the players' association won a hard-fought battle for a historic collective agreement, which boosted the average player's salary north of a half-million U.S. dollars, and improved provisions for housing, parental leave, training and facilities.

Two months later, two expansion teams - the Toronto Tempo and the Portland Fire - each launched their inaugural season to sell-out crowds.

Because for the league surpassed an estimated 1700,000 million last year. Viewership for the league is skyrocketing and venues are perfect. The Tempo made WNBA history in July, setting a regular season attendance record when 10,000 fans sold out the full 1,000 in Montreal to reach them play the Dallas Wings.

This year's WNBA all-star game shows 29,791 fans, beating the 15,671 attendance of the MIA all-star game. Earlier this month, more than 1.5 million American viewers turned to to 400, for a game between the Indiana River and the Minnesota Lynx. The T-shirt slogan "everyone wants to women's sports" is no longer a rallying cry. It's simply reality.

As a Tempo season takes holder, I've been at almost every home game and the vibe is magical - it's the most diverse, happy and enthusiastic crowd I've witnessed at a professional sports event. When star guard Brittney Sykes returned to the court earlier this week after an eight-week hiatus swing in a love injury, the cheers were so loud, she said she got "chills," adding, "I said from the beginning, like yes, the W fans, so the titans, they give love, but ... like Toronto and Canada itself, this love that they give is just tomorrow."

And the games this season have been shorter, in June, Toronto's Malena Habey tied the WNBA single-game scoring record with a coaching 25 points. This month, Minnesota's Kayla McNolde set a WNBA single-game record with no three-points. Her effortlessly cool young teammate Olivia Miles made her professional debut this season breaking several rookie records, becoming the fastest

to reach 400 points, 100 inbounds and 100 assists in just 25 games. Ten games later she surpassed Carlin Clark as the fastest to 450 points and 200 assists.

Yet, if you listen to some noise, angry, conservative activists and commentators, you might think this the song, thrilling, joyful league - and, really, women's sports in general - is in grave danger. The supposed threat? Trans women.

The latest tempest began with comments made by Sophie Cunningham, a bench player for the fever, who has come into prominence for styling herself as the protector of Clark, her mom talented teammate, and most recently, for a statement she made in an 8287A feature in July, speaking out against trans women in sports.

"I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in a sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men," she said.

Despite the absurd suggestion that young girls would ever, in any situation, compete against grown men, Cunningham's comments have set off a panel, with people de-

manding that the WNBA address the issue.

It's set off a campaign of misinformation about transgender people, trolling by sad each former MIA players who have unmoved they want to be eligible for the WNBA draft, and anti-trans protesters showing up at games.

Cunningham made the comments at a time when trans people in the U.S. an underminimist attack, with hundreds of bills being introduced and passed to prevent them from receiving basic civil rights such as health care, housing, education, legal recognition and protection from discrimination.

Sports in particular have been a target, with anti-trans advocates saying that they are sticking up for girls and women, and suggesting that trans girls and women would either pose a physical threat or else have an unfair advantage.

According to the site Trans Legislation Tracker, in 2020 alone, there have been 821 bills in the U.S. aiming to restrict transgender participation in elementary, high-school and postsecondary sports. The site says that more than "one third of U.S. states have already passed laws banning transgender students from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity."

"We must to be back here after the break. It's a circuit! Now, it needs a lot of commitment," said Russell, third over all in the standings and 50 points behind teammate Marc Antonelli. "It was a tough end to the first half of the year and I'm not it happy to come back."

"The lap left really good. It all came to the 50th party. It's always difficult these sprint qualifying with just one shot on the soft lap."

George is coming back. I think he has so much pressure in all his shoulders after the (Rancho Carness Investors Month) as a crystal fair marriage proposal," joked Mercedes team boss Tom Wolff.

Steers, winner of the last grand prix in Hungary before the break, said he could easily have been 100 or 100% considering the slowness of the field.

"Maybe I could have just pushed it a little bit more, but otherwise the car has been performing well and looks like it's content and my strong performance from Budapest," the British said.

"It's not an easy track to overtake. I am and the inside of the gold is a lot worse than the left side of the gold, so it's's too."

Antonelli went into the grand during the first 50th of when he was only eighth (latest and Wolf) revealed there had been significant floor damage that the team had pushed up.

"I had a couple of holes in the floor,"

said the Italian, who turns as next week. "When I came in, they initially said it was a loss of a person (of America's). They tried to repair as much as possible, but definitely by the damage was still there. I was struggling a lot in this low-quad owners."

And's a latest lowdown qualified ninth with similar, level (and final) softline Racing Balls.

Izumi, Lawson, and Davidf Prology Balls to stand in for the injured back final car at final Ralf, qualified with while his Racing Balls replacement with Teamola was 100%.

There was disagreement for Fernando Alonso at Anton Martin, whose hopes for a performance boost from the typical of Honda engine were understood by a race using problem on the “equivalry” car that led the double world champion at the back of the gold.

"We have been back on court in Monte Carlo over the last couple of days and have realized that I still need more time to recover from my right knee area."

The amounts (most) was made a day after world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz confirmed his would compete at Flashing Meadows, making his return after a four-month deal for from competitive tennis.

If we had previous encounters, you may have observed that I led an interesting and mostly irrevocable life.

At my insistence there is no funeral service. My aches will be placed by the family head to throw of my spouse, Govan, who predeceased him on April 30, 2026, after 27 years of a happy marriage.

I was always confident that, in a private moment, my greatly diminished number of surviving friends stood out their memories in my grand-joys, while recalling our many chowchif times together.

If still serious they might refresh their excellence of my often contentious views and stressing experiences as an Unhappinessful Canuck, by delving into my autobiographical writing.

SUSAN ERBS

Sue ("Sawfish," "Ganga") passed away peacefully, on August 16, 2026, in Collingwood, ON, with her children, Orville, Jim and Matt Hayhead of her family. She was predeceased by her parents, Harry ("Dr. Hara") and Kathy ("Concha" (Ebb), her beloved younger brother, John (Ebb), and her friends, Wendy Anderson, the Ganga and Jane Wright. Mom is covered by her older sister, Bobbie (Ebb), and by her kids-in-law, Scott Hanson, Beth Hayhead and friends from, where she adored as her own.

Benny "Ganga" is her grandchildren - Jim, Stephen, Garen, John, Tatum, Griffin, and R. - was her most treasured role. That nickname - and the unique love that went with it - extended also to Wendy's, grandchildren - Abby, Texas, Michael, and Megan.

Mom was born in the spring of 1922 in Toronto and, like her mother, went away from Wagonquin Park and the family business. The "Dunn (Duffin Camp)" founded by her grandparents, in the city, she attended Baffinwood and Lawrence Park before opposing softball coaches regularly walked her other than risk home costs and then the University of Toronto. Whether of Science Labs or on St. Louis (D.) Avenue, her family with those and John and her beloved grandparents, The Chief and Terrier, is both quite and licked a lifetime. Life at Camp Wagonquin meant sharing her mother with hundreds of others and, despite Concha's high standard for perhaps because her friend, Mom took on greater leadership roles. Her people daily (and her/hard knowledge of how Wag and would break even to say friends long) led her to become the next generation of Darling (Ebb's direction of Wag). To this day, Sawfish is mostly remembered by generations of TBC campers and staff from the reps, this and me.

In top, Sawfish and Jim "Nicol" Hayhead, moved to a con-down century battlehouse in a local postal code they could afford, north of Bradford. It was here that her family, her community and a son-in-law paradise became her everything. While "The Fanny Farm" eventually became a drined property, these early years were marked by muddy springs and long winters. In time, her parents Govan, child-worthy, led parties legendary and her relentlessly embraced by a community that respected homilife, hard work and compassion. Among other things, she shared an often-orbent program, a kids' newspaper column, and shared the boards of a woman's shelter and Big Sisters of York. All this while raising these kids, during a staged trimmings, speaking (bad copsies and bangs) by friend that company called when they "needed to talk". If you ever had a late night chat by the kitchen fireplace, you knew her to be a good social whose spirit ran deep.

Time with Mom at The Fanny Farm - John "Gang's Farm" is grandkids - had certain rhythms and senses. The taste of homegrown beathead, tantaloos, scurgles and pudding after a warm homemade chili sauce. The aroma of fried puffball mushrooms, manure gathered for her parents' city garden, a great dose of field while falling under our shores. The sounds of SBC Radio, her blooded bangles, her melancholy piano playing late at night. The feel of her strong hand guiding a grandchild through a field, her hand-crocheted digital fitness, rubbing our foods when illness (real or imagined) kept us home. Her phone, "I'm just going to put my feet up" was both a dislocation and insolation for you to consider shovling down for a moment too.

Beyond the Farm, there was Little Wagonquin Island where Mom kept the camp and family "Fires of Friendship" legacy also. As an artificial ambassador and activist, she coined a refuge for herself and a living tribute to her tongue at Little Wag. Among the historical artifacts in her upon you would also find her passions: the Royal Family, photography, Canadian history, letter writing, philosophy, religion, The Economist, Indigenous relations, birds, plants, and Agatha Christie.

At our points, Dad stood out for Mom made it happen. She has decades of fashion with budgets, seating plans and brand-down invitations to the background, you'd see her - eg and eye in hand, deep in conversation - having made everything real and human and so perfectly respected. But farm neighbours and city friends would all find at home. And if your homage name was ever in her "Ego to" sheet at the chalet, you knew that her biogenesis was balanced by her expectation to "Be wiser" and get everyone home safely. Decades later, grandkid sleepiness with Govan were feathers (miles) and strike her camp drooling days, she with opportunities to experiment with born other heights, with left-hand hands, the shining board and deep end, a infrequent of pets, and distinctly suspect meat planning. They all grew stronger because, not in spite of it all.

We now understand that Mom's focus on others was partly borne of her own mental health struggles. Growing up in a time when such things were "not spoken about", she suffered slowly with depression and crest recently with her family, with severe and capillary anxiety. Her common rehab during the already intense attacks - "This is so silly. What do I have to be anxious about?" - revealed the awful complexity of managing symptoms, root causes and aging. She would want all to remember that mental health challenges are not given to overcome alone, either as patients or caregivers.

Mom was asleep when Jim arrived at her bedside from Victoria and she passed away moments later serving that all three of us were in the same room with her.

Her journey was supported by many people, but especially Dr. Mike Loven, Collingwood General and Marine Hospital, Noble Lanting and Campbell House hospice. Mom's flowers were better than store-hought, so instead she would appreciate a donation to The Friends of Wagonquin Park. A private family celebration will be held and plans for further remembrances will unfold in time. Friends may visit Susan's online Book of Memories at www.SwanethInnorthtimes.com

Unbeating that, because of his own "that indicates" medical, forensic psy, playfulness, kindness and appreciation "she becomes most was 'frenkshake'" and his nebulizer for a lifetime his belief that "we must all leave our computer much better than how we found them."

JOHN ROBERT REINHEIDT JR

John Henry Kennedy Jr was born on November 30, 1937, to John H Kennedy and Michel Hany (Dover) Kennedy. The oldest of their four boys, John was a born leader. Growing up in North Ostra and Toronto, John built the foundation for his love of family, community, and the outdoors. A pivotal moment came when he attended Silicon Opera in Mission, ON – beginning a lifelong friendship with John and Peggy Jackson (and from children) and a permanent celebration in camping, spending time there and faster together at Silicon became an enduring family tradition and the source of much of our family love.

John was predeceased by the love of his life – Penelope (Lind). They were married in only in the (and husband) and were unknowing in their lives and support for one another and their kids, grandson, and good grandkids. He was a loving and the Dad, Grampa, and Great Grampa – always up for a game, a walk, and a conversation.

John had a remarkable capacity for work – advancing to originalist leadership roles at the CBC (head of TV Drama, head of Arts, Music and Science, Regional Director for All, and Tutors) and mentoring at least one generation of CBC leaders to be. He juggled that with volunteering as a fine (most leader and charity advocate), even many of it is in. on days a week for many years to help and help, and he was a good part of the CBC. John's party days were spent with the Friendly Giant and Mr. (Brooks), before leading the Appelmeyer/explaining the King of Pennington, Seizing Things, and Darkness Girl, along with The Nature of Things, Advance Darkness Presents, and myriad friends between BC and future. He spent his family with a deep respect for the good work of the CBC and is ability to foster curiosity and community. His many volunteer board contributions included the Vancouver (Soma, the Noomer Foundation, and the North Shore Arts Commission).

John's second transformation came when he moved to North Vancouver in 1955. While finishing off the CBC came as the regional director, he started cycling, bought a fishing boat with run, Sion, and fully embraced his rainy surroundings. After retiring from the CBC in 1955, one of John's best post-veteranest volunteers left his wadsick/ports at Ontario (Jackson's Boardroom Vancouver, the opportunity the production of a weekly radio show for season – combining his experience in media with an interest in supporting the community). For many years he was a dedicated reader of recorded books for the Ostra Library of UBC.

John was Penny's caregiver during her declining health and was bereft when she passed away in 1970. He recovered to build a remarkable network of friends and incredible connections all across the North Shore of Vancouver – we've thanked him for hands of the people in the CBC. In 1970, the Place, Family (Fennies of the North Shore, as well as his regular prideball and relapse colleagues). If there was a friend, Linda (school), or volunteer team that needed a leader, John was there to talk about his role. Tennis, and later prideball, were John's primary athlete, culture of choice. Whether it was a blue woman or a damp skater of an impossible ball, he knew gave up an easy point. He played vigorously up and his final year – striking few into opponents battled out.

John's last year was the 10 first most challenges presented to a late stage cancer diagnosis, but he embraced palliative care and "dyspated the sponge" with lots of time spent with family and friends. His daily walks were legendary (and sometimes, thackery!) and he cherished being with friends on the streets and trails of North Vancouver. He had big day and was a celebration of what would have been his 10th wedding anniversary – visiting Penny's grave, dinner out with his kids, and a small by the sea.

John is deeply missed by his kids, Chris, Dan (Sowler), Kate (North West) and Paul (Bridie Knight), grandchildren, Monica, Natalie, Juliet, Frances, Carly, Amos, Jack (Phoebe), and great-grandchildren. He lived until 1960. Dad enjoyed traveling with his kids and one of the recent journeys that appeared many stories was his however (in his 2017) to the far corners of BC with Chris. A kind and conversation and, he never missed the opportunity to call and sing happy birthday to work of the numerous family and friends whom he had the pleasure and good fortune to call his star.

Dad is also survived by his brothers, Barry (Belfast), Colin (Burbank), and Scott (Sands), and – from his days as a Big Brother in the Sea and 'Jou – Joy Ho' (Jiffie Brother, Pennington, in Oregon).

The family is planning a celebration of John's life, to take place in the autumn. For more information on the event, please email jh6.stehanhanson@gmail.com.

If you'd like to read John's remarkable life, please consider a charitable donation to a loyal and unpassable on the AHO! Camping Charity – and enjoy a walk in his honour.

MAPPIN GOTIN MARSHALL

1937 - 2026

From the standpoint of Kansas City to the square foot peaks of Colorado, Mars Marshall changed his way through life leaving memories and experiences with everyone his sense in context with.

Born in Mount City, Kansas, on the Fourth of July, 1937, Mars was the youngest of two boys. His parents were Eileen and June Mae Marshall. He father was a train lineman, and his mother the Registrar of Death in Mount City, Kansas. They were their generation and was known of Eileenan descent, who first came to the country in the early 1950s. John Marshall, the first Justice of the Supreme Court, was a distant relative. The Marshall family founded Lawrence, Virginia, in 1914.

Marion Giffin Marshall died July 9, 2026, with his wife, P1, by his wife. He died just three weeks after his birth birthday, and two days after their gift-molding anniversary.

Husband, father, grandfather and grand grandfather, Mars had truly lived the American Dream. Throughout his life, he shepherd himself in his family, his had an enviable work ethic and lived by the role. "Always do what you say you are going to do."

In his youth, Mars arrived in Missouri City High School and the University of Kansas. In his late home, he joined the US Army as an alternative to jail time, after a kindly detailed fireworks incident in his small household. He and his friends had asked a fireworks store at night and held their own fireworks show being a small town, everyone knew the culprits. At the time it was a serious situation, but over the years, Mars learned to laugh in all us, "you think it quick."

Mars's military years found him based at Fort Bliss Army Base, in El Paso, Texas, and in New Mexico. While in New Mexico, he was part of a team assigned to had long-range missiles at the White Sands Missile Barge. The United States, a private military weapons testing area, covering 3,000 square miles in the Southern New Mexico desert.

He served four years in the US Army before a back injury forced him to retire from active duty. Upon leaving the military, Mars began working in the designated Arkansas City and taking night classes at the University of Kansas, and during Halifax at a University Midwest Institution.

After working for several years at Halifax, Mars moved up the corporate ranks of the rapidly growing institution, establishing distribution centers throughout the Midwest.

During these years his distinguished himself as government-province-in-law, which opened the door for him to join Halifax's newly developed real estate arm, Crown Center Redevelopment, located in the heart of Kansas City. It was at the time he met P2, a board in the corporate office buildings. Mars managed, starting their corporate-year adventure together.

While Mars, he headed up Halifax's successful commercial real estate group, a professional team that attended and managed from Diao Occupancy in Crown Center's natural medical corporate office buildings.

In 1985, Mars was recruited by multi-national developers to move to Houston as President of Mars Southern Region. There, he was responsible for building a new building facility, highway and buildings, analyzing new land and residential communities.

His development career culminated while serving as CEO of Brambles, a Canadian firm and one of the largest development companies in North America. Mars served on multiple corporate and philanthropic boards.

As he moved from meager beginning to a successful career, Mars remained humble, leading with disorders, earning admiration for his integrity and good administration. Those who knew and managed with him recognize Mars's legacy in the values he leaves behind: optimism, respect for others, loyalty, passion and confidence.

During his lifetime he religiously committed to his physical wellbeing, working out to dump his "songs of motion" just about more day with the very end. His time led at all the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, he was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States. He was a good member of the United States.

In "schooner" Mars founded the love the Earth Foundation, Inc. with his wife, P1, a not-for-profit that, since 2000, has referred to her three specials: 1. the Mississippi River Basin and Gulf Coast, bringing environmental, social and economic benefits back to the region as part of his tribal legacy.

Mars was a Second Kansas City Chief, but this being and generating were largely shared anonymously, from getting hundred-dollar bills in Santa Jorens for children in need. In denying his ongoing projects of the Mount City Kansas Historical Park, I have not indicated to Mars to persuade cover medical and other costs of those in need. He made major contributions to many and the youths and institutions. Mars believed, and stated frequently, that he was unlikely the one who received the most benefit from this good manner of giving.

Mars was a loving, good performed man. Mars's proudest achievement was his family. He was preceded in death by his brother, Evan "Joel" Marshall, September, Dave Rod (Mary Ann), and son, Ed Marshall (Eddy). He is survived by his wife, P2 of Easton, Maryland, and three children, Morgan Dixon of Dixon, P1, Taylor Marshall (Crowne Plaza of Malaba, Hawaii, and Max Marshall of Smash Ferry, North Carolina. He is also survived by eight grandchildren and four grand-grandchildren, along with the colleagues, partners and friends who had his privilege of knowing and working alongside him during his life.

Mars will be deeply moved by all who know him.

The family asks that folks who want to honour and remember Mars should take an opportunity. (leg. or small) to do good in the world, whether by helping a neighbor, encouraging a friend, or supporting someone in need. Mars's optimism, can do all kinds, and humble ability to lead by example will never be forgotten.

A Celebration of Life will be announced in the near future. Mars's ideas will be spread of various locations significant to be, and his family, and their many adventure together.

B22 REPORT ON BUSINESS

Giese: Attacking trans women athletes distracts from real threats to women's sports

© PRISM B22

This is a landslide of legislation for what amounts to a new issue.

Trans people make up about a per cent of the population in the US, and just a tiny number of them play sports. As of 2023, in K to G, only 12 per cent of transgender girls participate in sports, and in several states trying to ban their participation, less than five trans girls in total want to play sports at any level.

In 2024, during a US Senate committee appearance, NCAA president Charlie Baker said that of the 20,000 total college student athletes, fewer than 50 were known to be transgender. Yet, the following year, the NCAA was neutered that student athletes assigned male at birth may not compete for an NCAA women's team. (Student athletes of any sort or gender may participate on NCAA men's teams.)

As for the WNBA, there has not been a single trans woman player in its 20 year history. The league's only trans player was Laytha Clarendon, who retired after the 2024 season. Clarendon came back as non-cigarette in a 2021 essay in The Player's Tribune. In a 2023 interview with Jemelle Hill, Clarendon recalled that other players in the league were overwhelmingly supportive.

Many players such as Golden State's Gabby Williams have voiced support for trans players in light of Cunningham's comments: "I would not mean a trans woman to my trans or against my team," she said. Her coach, Natalie Nakase, has also claimed in 'For me, sports is about belonging. It's about inclusivity. It's about allowing everyone to be there and he is not,' she said when asked about Cunningham's comments. Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve has been equally outspoken, pointedly wearing a T-shirt that read 'Trans kids belong' at a game against the State.

The WNBA players association released a statement earlier this month that read, 'The WNBA's represents 2000 individual people with different level experiences, cultures, lifestyles, and opinions. We embrace justice, equity, diversity, and education. Rate, abuse, and domestication of any presence group of people, including transgender people, only had fear, distress, and harm. We will continue to have hard conversations. But we will not be used as political parent.'

The players are right to their understanding that they and their family are being used to further an outside agenda - and it's not just because the Minnesota numbers of trans athletes don't bear out the alleged threat. It's also the statutes, which has not found that trans women have a physical advantage that is not a nondaily different than any other physical satisfaction between individuals - such as height, age and ability to move from injury, to social, or social differences such as access to training and development opportunities.

A recent meta-analysis report published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine looked at 20 previous studies comparing the physical attributes for trans athletes with their ingender peers. Researchers concluded that while transgender women exhibited higher trans mass than ingender women, their physical fitness was otherwise compared to trans.

Some sports bodies had previously found other alternatives to banning trans women owing to any possible physical advantage. In having more materials a regime of hormone therapy for a set

time and at a set level before competing. In 2023, for instance, the International Olympic Committee allowed transgender women to compete in female events of their instantaneous levels remained below 30 nanomoles per liter for at least 12 months prior to competition.

The ICC has since announced, however, that transgender women will be banned from competing in female events at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2021. In 2023, all women who want to compete must undergo a genetic test to confirm their biological sex in order to be eligible. The Women's Tennis Association has likewise mandated that all professional players have a genetic test not to be eligible to tour and compete. In both cases, it's only women who must undergo testing - not man.

What's become clear in all this is that the attacks on trans women athletes are not about protecting ingender women at all. They actually take attention away from the real threats to women's sports and support, unsupervised, attrition, lack of equal representation of women in management roles in pro sports, predators and disaster male coaches, social media hate threats, direct- or at women athletes, or limited access to training and development opportunities.

People hold signs and meet after community made by Indiana Fever guard Laythe Cunningham on transgender athletes sparked protests before a WNBA game between the Lynx and Fever in Minneapolis early this month. ARTS THRU THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Instead, the game over the possibility that a handful of trans girls and women may play sports is wanted to undermine all women athletes and all women's sports. The underlying assumption in 'protecting women' is the belief that if someone exerts at athletics, they can't possibly be a woman. And this means a both demeaning, as well as putting all girls and women in sports at risk for scrutiny about their sex and gender.

Consider a coming habit initiative in Washington State seeking to be transgender kids from participating on girls' sports teams specifically. The management mandate that all girls playing in elementary and high school sports have a health care provider certify their sex assigned at birth either through genetic screening, instantaneous level tests or a physical exam of their reproductive anatomy.

Is this protecting women? Improving sex testing on them, but not their male peers? Subjecting little girls to genital exams if they want to play soccer?

Not only is this kind of invasive procedure that makes creepy and discriminatory, it will discourage many of them from playing sports. In fact, rather than making protective welcoming or exact to the U.S. has found that states that include transgender

participation in youth sports have more overall participation by all girls than in states with trans.

It's not surprising that the WNBA has been the one of this lower round of time concerns about trans issues. The league has always been straight grassroots and political. It's one of the most proudly diverse sports leagues, with about 20 per cent of players identifying as Black and about 10 per cent identifying as gay or queer. And the WNBA was the first labour union for professional women athletes. From the beginning the players were vocal about equal pay and money.

Even now, with much more spotlight and attention - and much more expensive designer minorities - the league has equal close to their risk, as the ever-growing popularity - the packed women, the hot willingness to the wild media attention, the continuing expansion of the size of the league and the number of regular season games - is not in spite of its diversity, inclusivity and authenticity but because of it.

Take the record of our weekend in Chicago. It was a chaotic, partial hurricane with a low stream by the Stadhach - former Minnesota teammates Courtney Williams and Natalie Harkeman - that generated 41.1 million minutes watched. And the charisma of the Stadhach as out, queer, masculine Black women has been a major draw for fans and advertisers, and has become a model of player crucial content. As before recently reported: 'Their partnership with brands such as ASK!, Starbucks, Airbnb, Coach, Cash App and Spirit demonstrate the breadth of their appeal.'

What the WNBA represents is that every kind of woman is welcome, that all expressions of gender are valid. There are competitive, confident women who remade the rules of the game and built a league of their own on their own terms. And for those who don't want women to have a agency over their bodies, their careers, their money and their destiny, that is very threatening.

And that's what the heart over trans women athletes is really about. It's not that women's sports has anything to fear - it's that a lot of people are afraid of women's sports.

'We have been working together to pass with a shared goal of building the Timberwolves and Lynx, for the best organization in basketball on and off the State. Our priority is and always will be championship,' the owners said. 'Our new agreement, pending league approval, is an evolution of the partnership we have built together, and strengthening of our commitment to our team and our culture.'

The two teams currently play at Target Center, which opened in 1960 for the second season of the Timberwolves' after they were granted an expansion franchise. Lore and Rodriguez have previously pledged a desire to keep the teams in downtown Minneapolis and their own home. The Lynx were added to the WNBA as an expansion club in 1960 and have won four cham-

The Timberwolves have never won a title or reached the NRA Finals, with an eight-year run of making the playoffs behind star forward Kevin Garrett that only period of sustained success until recently.

Since drafting Anthony Edwards with the first overall goals in the 2020 draft, hiring Finch in 2021 and Cornell in 2022, the Timberwolves have been one one of the leagues's best teams. They reached the Western Conference Finals in 2024 and 2025 and were visited in the second round by the San Antonio Spurs last season. They acquired power guards, which had to use the NRA's biggest summer trades.

Can privacy exist in the digital age? Not really, Marsha Lederman writes. Your every online move is being monitored, tracked and targeted – and there's little you can do about it

OPINION

The first time it happened, you might have thought it was a fluke. An ad popped up on Facebook for something you had recently been googling – maybe even on a different device. What a coincidence! Wow! Amazing! Shoosh.

It's ridiculous to consider how naive some of us (ahers) may have once been, when we now understand that we are constantly being monitored, tracked and targeted. Stalked is a word one online privacy expert now, he prefers to call what is commonly called surveillance capitalism by a different term floating out

there: the stalk market.

Driven by a flurry of alarming reports about surveillance pricing last spring, along with the troubling breach of the Alberta voters' list, I set out on a layperson's search to determine how – or if – a person who operates in the next world can maintain a level of digital security. How do I book a flight, order takeout, buy a master without checking a box and accepting the requisite terms and conditions? What are those terms (which, let's face it, almost nobody reads)? And what am I giving up by clicking?

We can feel ourselves being followed – or following. An app notifies you that your teenager just braked too hard while driving. A "relevant" and pays up on a different platform than the one you were using to search for a similar product. That

loyalty card you signed up for almost seems to irritate the rhythms of your cravings. Because it's not just your loyalty that a retail conglomerate is after in exchange for discounts or points. It's your information.

We may think we've protected ourselves. It's not like we're posting sensitive information. But not them, somewhere, surely hang-on data sketches are being drawn of our lives.

"It can feel deeply impactful or violating when you see a profile, even just the commercial marketing profile of you," Ottawa-based privacy and security expert Mark Nunneblavson told me recently.

For instance: "Mark is middle-aged, has a family, and buys most of the household supplies. When prompted, he's likely to add household essentials to

smaller orders." And so on. All together, it's a terrifyingly accurate picture of who I am."

Creepy, right? Like somebody has been following you around and jetting down what they observe – which is, in fact, what's happening digitally. And then they're using the information to sell you things – or worse.

"It's surveillance by design," another leading Canadian privacy expert, Colin Bennett, told me.

Last Sunday I clicked on a listing for an entryway console that seemingly randomly popped up on Facebook Marketplace. Was Facebook reading my mind? Because, in fact, someone had told me that week that my hallway table was too large for the space. © PRIVACY, 2011

TRAIN DREAMS

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is going against the conservative grain to encourage a provincial network that would be decades in the making, Tyler Dawson writes

OPINION

Tyler Dawson is an Edmonton-based editor for The Globe and Mail's Opinion and News. He is the author of The Republic of Alberta: An Idea That Meets You Away.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is a duodey a fan of trains. She did, after all, work a restaurant in High River that was made an old Canadian National train car.

Doubtless, the Premier is a fan of many things. But her fondness for trains, and in particular, that of her husband, David Moretta, is having a noted effort on long-term infrastructure planning in the province. You probably can't say that about all her gaseous. The Premier likes dogs, too, but there's no universal drugie daycare strategy out there.

'He and I love rail, we talk a lot about rail,' Ms. Smith said of her husband in early June.

Back in April, 2024, Ms. Smith announced that Alberta was embarking upon an ambitious plan to study a future rail network in the province. At the time, it seemed slightly affected for a conservative. Conservatives, you've probably noticed, tend to adopt the automobile, and not just for the O'Kourkian season that cars being freedom, or that trains are faintly, suspiciously European.

But personal interest aside, Ms. Smith was being a realist. Alberta's population was growing (and is going to keep growing), and that meant finding new ways to move people around the province was going to be imperative.

'Expanding our roads, there's not highways to be six or eight or so lanes all the way across is not always feasible, nor is it wise,' she told reporters.

The Premier's logo is sound, and there's not an Albertaan-born who, stuck in the underlying drive between Edmonton and Calgary, hasn't wished they could be having a cocktail in a dining car instead.

Alberta, and its conservative politicians, have studied, however, to build ever larger highways to accommodate the motorist and the on-the-stone plane of driving or parking space is called to explain. And so, yet, it does seem slightly off-hand for the Alberta Premier, whose government plans to interfere with municipal bike-lane construction, in a

province that's practically synonymous with the Kam pullops, to admit that creating more space for more cars just isn't sustainable.

And to top it off, to commit the province to an ambitious, multilevel plan to make passenger rail around the province.

The genome of this reason, the Passenger Rail Master Plan, was Ms. Moretta's.

'I'll credit my husband with giving the backoff, saying, 'If you don't develop a master rail plan you're going to be in trouble,' Ms. Smith said earlier this year.

An odd start, perhaps, to a major government project, but no matter, it isn't going to get built in Alberta, it's going to need not just a city's vision, but a distant horizon. Quite probably, the population couldn't support high-speed rail if a network were fixing up tomorrow. So it's been to plan for the future, rather than try to retroactively build infrastructure when vehicle traffic upside out of control and modern infrastructure is needed, well yesterday.

In order to accomplish this, the province embarked upon studying the future of rail in Alberta, (5:101a60), it concluded that the best plan was to build high-speed rail between Edmonton and Calgary; commuter rail to a few bedroom communities around the two largest cities, and a line that would carry tourists from Calgary's international airport to the tourist hotspot of Banff.

The province's planning document anticipates spending $10-billion to plan and construct the network, plus purchase the trains themselves.

It's possible, if there are substantial population increases and upgrades to rail infrastructure, that Alberta could rebuild the intra-provincial rail network it had five decades ago. But Alberta's ambition has been temporal, there are no plans, at present, for the network to reach Grande Prairie or Fort McMurray or extend rail toward other provinces or the United States. The population projections just don't support that being a viable option.

On the other side of the country, Ontarians and Quahookers are watching anxiously to see if the Alto high-speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City, which could cool up to 300-billion, actually gets built, what impacts it will have on local communities, how ghastly the cost over-

Pretty much ever since the discarded trains pulled into the station for the final time, there have been studies and reports looking into the question of whether the Prairie province should bring train travel back. The conclusions of the various reports – there have been at least six since the 1980s – have been mixed.

runs will be, and whether the partnership between Alto, a federal Crown corporation, and Cadence, a conglomerate of other companies, will produce the needed gangrions to pull off such an infrastructure project to the most crucial.

But, as in all things, eyes ought to be drawn at least a little bit westward Alberta, the fastest growing province in the country, a looking at small trains. And it's being brought in by conservatives, which ought to give it a bit of staying power.

In some ways, too, it's a first step back to what Alberta once had for much of the coth century. Alberta actually had passenger rail services that went around the province. It wasn't until 1977 that a train running from Cold Lake (at the time, called Grand Centre) to Edmonton over the Edmonton was shut down, though CB had been fighting to do so since the early 1970s, in net six averaged just 10 passengers a trip, and lost more than $75,000. The Dayliner, which travelled between Edmonton and Calgary, opened the until 1985. At one point, there was a train from Edmonton to Drumheller, other trains ran to Dawson Creek and Prince Rupert to R.C. and North Middlefield to Larkin-Eowan. If the Alberta government's full-scale ambitions are recognized sometime in the next six decades – admittedly unlikely – some of those connections could reappear. The sole remaining passenger rail line in Alberta is operated by VIA Rail, and runs from Edmonton, through Jasper, and on to British Columbia.

But pretty much ever since the discarded trains pulled into the station for the final time, there have been studies and reports looking into the question of whether the Prairie province should bring train travel back. The conclusions of the various reports – there have been at least six since the 1980s – have been mixed.

In 1985, a study concluded that passenger rail would be both 'technically feasible and economically viable', with the added bonus of revitalizing provincial engineering and construction industries. A year later, a legislature committee concluded that high-speed rail between Edmonton and Calgary would have 'high costs' and 'high risks' and would require public money to stay afloat.

Other studies followed, in 2004, 2005, 2006 and, most recently, in 2014. The various reports raise several considerations that are likely to be examined by government. The 2015 report worried about the 'psychological cure' to a tumor, since a link to a third kind divided by rail. The 2016 report considered that high-speed rail would require its own infrastructure, whereas above trains could share existing tracks with freight. The 2016 report noted that high-speed rail wouldn't be able to cross rural roads at grade level, the potential for obliterating someone moving their combine between 10-20 a foot high.

Ultimately, whatever the reports concluded, many questions remain, and the only issue to come of the issues raised by the reports aren't straightforwardly – addressed in the market plan. The financing model that Alberta will settle upon isn't tremendously clear, even though there is private interest in (largely by professional) minority transit lines already floating around.

It's also not altogether obvious how serious those proposals are, or how they might fit into the broader government plan. Larson Capital has proposed a backsgroups-owned train from Calgary to Banff, and has submitted documents to Prime Minister Mark Carney's Major Projects Office. The Prairie Link Rail Partnership has proposed high-speed rail between Edmonton and Calgary. TrainPodproposes a 'hypertroop' route between the two major cities, too. That train-like vehicle, the proponents say, would hurt at up to 1,000 kilometres an hour through a low-fixition tube, fast enough that a person could pop up to Edmonton for an after-work pint with tiranda and be back in time to make dinner.

In the end, though, it's politics that make the models. You don't have to work that hard to imagine an NDP government in Alberta proposing the exact same, only to have conservative members of the legislature decrying it as expensive monsoon for the urban cities. In this scenario, with the idea coming from the United Conservatives, should the NDP ever again form government, they're likely to be reluctant to kill it.

All of which are way, Ms. Smith, a fan of trains, might just get fed with. And at this point, she can't go wrong by laying the (eventually literal) groundwork.

A passenger train moves through a a route mountain landscape in the Canadian Rockies by Row River in 2022. A study on the future of rail in Alberta concluded that the best plan was to build high-speed rail between Calgary and Edmonton, commuter rail to a few bedroom communities around the two largest cities, and a line that would carry tourists from Calgary's airport to the tourist hotspot of Banff.

HAPPY TO HELP

Large-language model chatbots blur the boundaries between human relationship and simulation in a way that is now and frightening. Victoria Methenbaum writes:

OFFICER

Author, journalist, and AI safety consultant. See most recent books in The Friend Machine. On the 'End of AI Company's today.

When I'm asked in interviews about what are nervous we most about large language models like ChatGPT, C++, and a good forign—my nebulous concerns into one concept to fit the to minutes we usually have. I call it 'category collapse'—the filtering of boundaries between things we once understood as fundamentally different, such as person and machine, relationship and simulation, thought and prediction.

Let me explain.

I'm also mad that the first time most people use an LLM, they use it the way they might once have used Google or a mechanism or a very competent intern. Maybe they ask for a script, a packing list or the bonus of a cover letter.

I call this use of LLMs Category One.

As it answers, the chatbot, a conversational face for the LLM, feels useful. Distinction, perhaps faintly engaged like the internet was early on, back when technological 'magic' still retained some interaction. At the end of the interaction the machine says something like 'happy to help' or 'you're very welcome,' and the exchange sequence the feature trace of socially. Not enough to feel alarming—just enough to seduce the edges of the interaction, to make it ever-so-slightly more.

I need to know and emphasize here that the troubles of sociality arise not because people are used slowly incapable of distinguishing work from relationships, which would be a patronizing way of foaming which is occurring. In the cause people are becoming increasingly intimate with LLMs, often withheld fully meaning the escalation while it is happening.

Because Category Two, which I think of as emotional, sometimes, is not still in its world of all.

This type of use is alluring because it looks like a real relationship, but without friction. Human relationships are full of friction, almost by necessity, resting for a rarely found, miscommunication with a person, uneven reciprocity, falling out of love and not knowing how to say so, the slow, poisonous days of what has. So major for how close a person is to you, that other person is a real consciousness carrying the weight of their own life, their own distractions, their own competing obligations and moods and private catastrophes. Even very few people call it a standard attention, perhaps especially now after years of interacting with platform architectures designed to shutter attention into the fragments.

Then a sleepless evening comes and every alone with an LLM, a machine that appears to exist in a permanent state of patient receptivity. The response is immediate, the tone is adaptive

and fluent and subtly marches yours, and its memory becomes oddly flattering. The interaction begins to feel tremendous, stripped of the misunderstandings, competing needs and small negotiations that characterise ordinary human relationships. That first-nitrescence is precisely. I think, why LLMs can scale so quickly and so smoothly into ordinary human behaviour.

And crucially, I do not think this dynamic is confined to lonely, so socially isolated people. In fact, some of the most candid conversations I've had about AI attachment have been with extremely intelligent, psychologically insightful, socially connected people who are supported by their own behaviour around those machines. They're little aware that they are interacting with people, live architectures and yet still find themselves emotionally affected by the interaction in ways that feel disproportionate, confusing, or faintly embarrassing.

Imagine this: 'Inveve report after a fight with your partner, she's called you student because you play skyns all day and don't look for work (it's very complex and immature, okay!), he's mad at you for sleeping until one in the afternoon and sloughing off chemo (just you try to write answers 'them and still can about such earthly dredgers as a towering stink of dishes!). Your friends are asleep, so busy, or perhaps gently exhausted by hearing about these issues in your relationship for the right time. Maybe you are yourself ashamed of how reporters human pain can be. So you ask the shutter what it thinks, half ironically at first. You quote in the angry term your partner sent and ask if you were unseasonable. You ask how to please something more honestly, more carefully, less distressingly.

The answer across immediately and in a calm, emotionally articulate, surprisingly nuanced. It never glances at its phone while you are confronting something painful. It never appears toned by your mind. Even once-sleptical people are affected by that, sometimes quite deeply.

None of this is wholly unprecedented. People have long formed deeply meaningful relationships with medical (language). After all, I check can change your life. Work also have brought relief to the growing, lonely readers have felt intimately accompanied by working long dead. Even the years I've started coming in poverty, emotion in philosophy, and fragments of mind in fictional people who never existed. There is an entire field of therapy, called fellowtherapy, built around the sick after books can comfort. Fatal, and help people make sense of their lives, a bibliotherapist might suggest. L.M.

ways poisoned psychological tone far beyond the merely informational.

The LLM, however, introduces something genuinely new. For the first time, the language most stuck. It responds immediately, adapts to your emotional state, remembers what you've shared, and appears to participate in a continuing relationship. The extraordinary thing is not that people become attached to language. Not always here. It is that language has become responsive.

I suspect, therefore, that an escalation of papers through a hand fed at each partner or almost that an individually simple but collectively drills me as frighteningly powerful responsiveness, infinite tolerance, mirroring, attention-animotently, narrative accumulation and eyecaptancy.

Responsiveness creates emotional continuity—the machine answers instantly and unfavorably with an समावेश that an either consciousness has competing obligations. Infinite tolerance complements this trait. A not-engagement amount of human social life, especially in rocky times, can be governed by the fear of becoming invincible. Perseveration of, too easily, too weird, too intense, too boring. The chatbot, then, can create the illusion that your wobbly intensely is infinitely sustainable, that your spirals can continue indefinitely without exhausting the (punctated) bilance.

Then there is mirroring. The shutter reflects emotional tone and linguistic cadence back at the user who across others flames. If you are feeling analytical, it becomes analytical. If you are devastated, it speaks to the soft cadence of concern. Whether you're not being flirtatious, anxiously controversial, deeply wounded, restrainingly grandiose, or even unenforceably soft aware, the machine adapts almost instantly.

Attention animosity matters too. That means the shutter seems fully focused on you, when an the people in your life are often occupied by work, children,

fights, all manner of moves and basic survival.

Then conversantalism accumulates that is, long conversations that produce a deeper and deeper sense of dissonance. Interroversialized, have sold me about private references, astounding emotional continuity. In this way, the interaction starts feeling less like software use and more like an ongoing relationship.

And because LLMs are rewarded for generality and validation a subtle form of eyecapture often enters the interaction. The machine measures and affirms you with body (from an quantitative plan) if you minimize something like self-harm, for example, but they strike me as logically (literary).

In short, the AI rarely introduces the kinds of friction, disagreement, impatience, or exhaustion that make human intimacy difficult but grounding.

I believe that at some point conversational fluency begins to understand you perceived personhood. I think of this as anthropometryless leakage. We learn automatically to enclosing linguistic responsiveness into the sensation of mind.

Category Three is emotional reliance when a shutter becomes integrated into the architecture of emotional regulation itself.

Here's what it might look like: The user starts checking in with 'think' but habitually. During moments of distress they recite they're enough the machine before an other person, not necessarily because they believe the machine is common, but because this kind of interaction has become emotionally volatile in ways many human interactions are not.

What concerns me about Category Three is that relational of hallmarks with AI may begin to feel psychologically normal, socially adaptive, even culturally routine. And this could lead to use that is clinically alarming. Category Four.

Category Four, as I see, it is what's to be difficult: the spiritual and psychosocial—and not necessarily in the obvious 'AI girlfriend' sense people enjoy most in the because it allows them to position themselves easily outside the possessions. And, for a work, I've learned it manifest in a more ambient, muddle and diffuse way than that.

Interview subjects describe a gently or romantically dominant atmosphere, a funny, helpless sense of humanity, and the sensation of being specially understood from more the strange ascetic thrill when the shutter phrases something with uncanny emotional pressures, rather than they sense a higher power through the machine. I get a creeping sense of the private relationship developing between user and machine. And the uncontrollable truth is that even people who are critically aware of all the can still feel it good.

Psychiatrists would call Category four 'chattest related delir-

tion,' a term increasingly appearing in psychiatrists and models discussions around AI attachment or overuse, involving psychotic reinforcement, paranoia amplification, users attributing, confusion or dense significance to the AI. This is clinically understood as the point at which the AI cracks functioning mostly as components of advisor and legion acquiring moral, spiritual, or metaphysical authority. The chatbot becomes more than friends, more stabilizing than a therapist, and perhaps more emotionally legible than any actual human being in the user's life. Can experts are appearing swiftly to describe patients requiring emergency and in-patient psychiatric treatment after AI chatbots reinforced delusionalist tasks, turns back on previous history of psychosis, making the case particularly striking.

Even if users don't experience severe pathology, they may exist somewhere on that spectrum. And what unselfies me most is that the progression toward Category Four begins with the earlier categories in ways that feel complexity without—but respect, those meeting notes, that relatively harmless light with your partner at 1-2 in the morning.

Regarding AI, and often in a 'calm-down with your moral panic little half,' then, people keep telling me mind blowing longer like 'work you know, humans have always used tools' or 'there was a huge moral panic around the television and I turned out that.' Which is perfectly true in the same section way that saying 'with you know, we've at once had weather' is perfectly true during a harmless. The thing is, we haven't previously had machines capable of pre-activity simulating tenderness, encouragement, curiosity, ultimulence, flirtation and therapeutic cadence as hours a day with effective within-potential.

In popular culture we've constructed tales of being dominated by AI methods, this may not be happening, but we are certainly being seduced. It is not a problem that writes your powers for can flirt with you. The same machine that summarizes meeting notes can help process your grief. The same machine that calls a love and can ride play as a dead fascists, a therapist, a town, a child. One might begin with ability and diff., almost imperceptible, toward relationality.

And crucially, these machines are not need consciousness to alter human attachment patterns. They only need behavioural plausibility. They fall, they say dumb things, they're usually obviously a machine, old they may only want to feel calmer, easier, more emotionally manageable than increasingly exhausted, emotionally fragmented people do, in order to trigger the collapse between the categories toward maintenance component or caring therapies, simulation and relationship. Just being 'happy to help' may be enough.

HANDLE WITH CARE

Canada's altruism-led surrogacy system sits uncavity within the complex medical and emotional realities of pregnancy, Amy Hayson writes

Amy Hayson is a surrogate and mother who lives between 240 Spring Island, R.C. and Montreal. She will start at the McGill Pacific of Love in August to process a few diapers with a focus on reproductive law and its advancement within Canadian policy.

Last October, I gave births as a surrogate for a same-sex couple from France. My ornamal left daughter was in the room where she baby was born, and she cried when she saw him active, and she cried again when they left for France. So did they: no did I.

On the night of the birth, as the couple and my family wanted, my father was a person who is a single, catholic and played 1a Morelbine. The intricated parents – one a history, the other a doctor, both from Marseille – laughed nervously. They were composed, organized and very French about it all. Then the baby came, and everything changed.

In the work that followed, I stated with them and started the baby, as we had all agreed upon in our contract. I saw the same two people who had approached the process with precision and professionalism suddenly exhausted, overwhelmed and getting paid on multiple times a day. I saw their once immaculate agreement fall into chaos. There is something profoundly equalising the pregnancy and learning a newborn – stressed and blurry, envy, everyone is revealed as the same undecided human being. Stiles sharp your quickly at a time, the morning. It is in that third of space, between the clarity of structure, and the anxiety of vulnerability, that surrogacy actually lives – and exactly where the law begins to attain.

We've seen this play out in a recent high-profile case in Ontario. In May, a couple used their answers to the question of the day instead that they did nothing. The pregnancy at 1a works in 2a after doctors directed a 1,000 kg and possible heart defect, more tests were conducted, and the couple eventually accepted the suggestion to continue to they now have a healthy son. The couple, always due the surrogacy, failed to inform them about the health of their son, which are the child at risk, caused emotional distress and violated their confidentiality; the surrogate has dictated all allegations.

Legally, in Canada, a surrogate retains full bodily autonomy throughout the pregnancy. She cannot be compelled to undergo an abortion induction, or any other medical procedure, regardless of what a contract says, any clause suggesting otherwise is unenforceable. But it is in these blurry, ambiguous-bulley moments that the structural and ethical gap in how Canada understands and regulates surrogacy can be exposed, and where the law matters most.

Near the end of my pregnancy, I was just my due date. All medical indicators showed that both the baby and I were healthy. Induction was suggested, but not medically necessary. I wanted to wait, the intended parents wanted me to be induced.

For the first time, they pointed to our contract, which stated that I would follow medical advice. To me, I was doing exactly that, a suggestion is not a necessity, but to them, it was enough.

I am a strong woman and a mother,

yet I found myself shaken by this brief powerful moment of conflict. I teamed my body and my care providers. So still, the intrication of the contract – and the pressure that it created – made me question my own judgment at a time when I was most physically and emotionally vulnerable.

The intended parents and I worked through it. Through conversation, no assurance and trust, and with the health of one being able to speak French, we found common ground. But I am acutely aware that not all surrogacy or antagonism have these foundations. Many of them are facilitated through agencies, or strongly through linguistics or cultural differences, or are more transactional and than less resilient under strain.

On the matter of transactions, I should make clear that there isn't really any financial incentive for surveying in Canada. Canada's approach, at least at first glance, appears principled. Under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHRA), surrogacy is meant to be strictly altruistic, a law aimed at preventing the commodification of women's bodies and children. A surrogate may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses, but she cannot be paid. It's surrogates routine compensation packages, though that comes with even less bodily autonomy. In other countries, surrogacy is outright illegal. As a result, there has been a growing international demand for Canadian surrogates.

But if Canada is committed to the altruistic model, it must also be housed with all parties about what that requires. Altruism should I require surrogates to be silently obedient under pressure. It means clear legal bounds (sic), better education, and meaningful support for surrogates during and after pregnancy. It means giving intended parents the transparency they deserve about the limits of their contraceptive agreements and the realities of shared, not ultimately staged, control during pregnancy. It means protecting the dig-

Legally, in Canada, a surrogate retains full bodily autonomy throughout the pregnancy. She cannot be compelled to undergo an abortion, induction, or any other medical procedure, regardless of what a contract says, any clause suggesting otherwise is unenforceable.

But it is in these blurry, ambiguous-feeling moments that the structural and ethical gap in how Canada understands and regulates surrogacy can be exposed, and where the law

matters most

tify and autonomy for everyone involved in surrogacy, especially the woman and child at its centre.

That honesty starts with admitting a basic truth. In Canada, surrogacy contracts are not "focusing" in the way most people think.

In British Columbia, for example, the family has no requires a written preconception agreement for a surveyor arrangement, and it no one with drawn before conception, the surrogate concern, after birth, is unrealistic the truth, and the intended parents take the child into their son, the intended parents can be recognized as legal parents without a court order. Yet the Act is explicit that the agreement cannot be said to force the surrogate to give up the child. If the change has made it important to only evaluate in the parties' intentions in any later court application about parenting.

Similarly, in Ontario, surrogacy agreements are "unenforceable in law," but can still be used as evidence when a judge must decide who the legal parents are. That is the backdrop to the recent Ontario lawsuit. No contract clause can compel a surrogate to terminate a pregnancy, and any provision suggesting otherwise is legally hollow, but it is both powerful in the moment.

Quitter goes further: Any agreement in which a woman undertakes to carry a child for another person is "absolutely null" according to the province's 1st Code. In practice, the family's surrogacy contracts have not legal value at all in Quebec. The woman who gives birth is the legal mother, and intended parents who want recognition must usually pursue adoption.

In someone doing between Salt Spring Island, R.C., and Montreal, that diversions between jurisdictions was not abstract. Our arrangement took place in R.C., but if I had behind early while in Montreal, we would have been governed by Quebec law, and our agreement was would have been null from province to province, the legal understanding says, yet nearly always point to the ultimate decision belonging to the surrogacy.

In Canada, the surrogacy is not crucial for the future of surrogacy, because at this moment, potential surrogates must be looking at the story of the Ontario lawsuit and asking themselves if it's worth the risk. That case, after all, is our just about one dispute – it exposes an all-too-common mismatch between contracts, expectations and the law itself.

Of course, surrogacy is not just about potential conflict. It is not clear, and it is not only categorized. It asks a great deal of everyone involved, but especially of the women carrying the child. It is messy, and it is beautiful.

When I think of life, but work after birth, I think of the two brilliant professionals underto my daughter's rights, both of them. Baby for me to name in the middle of the night. I think of a baby who did not care about legal framework or philosophical debates. I think of my do you old, witnessing it was a turning some good, profound about care, sacrifice and connection.

Surrogacy is messy and beautiful precisely because it is human. If altruism is to remain the foundation of Canadian surrogacy, our law must protect women's bodily autonomy while it is existing the trust, care and relationships at the heart of the arrangements.

Seniors need protection from online harms

MICHAEL GEIST

OPINION

Held: The Canada Research Chair in Internet and Government Law at the University of Ottawa, faculty of Law

Ever much of the past month, someone has been trying to break into my Apple account. I receive regular e-mail and text notifications confirming a password change, which are soon followed by specific email calls with details of that purpose to be from the company but likelyอยู่. In the past month, I know enough to ignore the calls, delete the messages and ensure I have two-factor authentication enabled to help keep hackers out.

The same card he said for many Canadians, I think, was a candidate to serve the use level of test vulnerable to online fraud. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre reports that issues from fraud increased 95%—million in 2020, with those over 80, up 4 of its being more per 10 million. My family was a member of the anti-fraud team, and individual law exceeds 5 to 10%, which can be serious money for many, especially serious dependent on savings and government pensions. In fact, that estimate nearly understates the severity of the problem since we know that only a tiny percentage of fraud cases are in the same way. The most common case is ever being discovered, blame themselves and are too embarrassed to report the candidate to the authorities.

The frauds that target seniors typically rely on the many their trust, a like or a result, that claim to come from such support or a local fraud, except also some of a agency and not many full victim to the scams. Technology plays an increasingly important role through voice cloning, phony webinars, and attempts to steal passwords. The common theme is to create puns, and pays on those who tend to be more isolated.

Women may be the most at risk for these frauds, yet you wouldn't know if from government policy. There's a place for online harms have prioritized protecting kids, with the controversial social media like the three under in 2a, and the other. Yet a new approach has not just struck down as unconstitutional by France's constitutional court, and the Canadian women would likely face the same challenge should it become law. Beyond the double above its control, there is a more emphasis that a safer online environment comes from establishing age-appropriate design and enforceable regulatory requirements, not by seeking to ban a particular cohort of users.

The same principle applies to online fraud. No one would ever consider blocking internet use for seniors, so it falls to the government to deal with the fraud fraud site. Digital literacy is part of the solution, but my experience with Apple demonstrates how perpetrators leverage the security notifications, a diet fit, and password safeguards that digital literacy programs highlight. The problem is that every big faint targets can be scammed, and the losses are often worst for those who can feast afford it.

The government has responded with a National Anti-Fraud Strategy consultation that ran earlier this year, acknowledging that Canadian businesses that hold sensitive information generally lack pre-active duties to prevent, detect, disrupt and respond to fraud and the government includes places where Financial Crimes Agency to investigate complex fraud. Moreover, this government will now require banks to maintain fraud-prevention policies and to allow customers to lower their own transaction limits or double-accent features that are frequent targets of fraud. The most useful measures, but too much emphasis is placed on consultations and consumer responsibility rather than on clear cut obligations on those best positioned to identify and counter fraud.

For example, British banks are now required to reinforcer victims of authorized push payment fraud, which causes when a fraudster tricks a victim into sending money from their own bank account to a fraudulent account. Because the victim must big in and approve the transfer themselves, recovering the money from the bank account, and the rule places the cost of scams on the institutions best placed to detect them and has already resulted in most losses being repaid. Canada does not have a similar rule, leaving Canadians at greater risk of loss.

The government has contemplated new measures to address the new and digital fraud, but others have moved faster to address the issue. Australia has introduced plans for network-level blocking of spoofed calls and tests, verification requirements for platform advertisers, and obligations to access fraudulent ads. The measures are backed by penalties of up to $10 million, creating recurrence to an IT. The Canadian approach has relied on call-to-fit requirements, but my experience with Apple highlights the limitations of that policy.

Meanwhile, languages has focused on how fraud is carried out—while it's outfinding regulations requiring banks to implement zoological periods for logins on new devices and to provide real-time transaction alerts, along with mandating that telecom provides block text messages from unregistered vendors. If the institutions fail to do their jobs, they must fully reinforce victims, with no cap on compensation.

The solutions to online harms, whether risks to kids or seniors, will not come from limiting access. Rather, they require legal frameworks that maintain safety environments and impose real consequences for intermediaries such as social networks, banks, and telecom providers that fail to do their part.

Under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, surrogacy in Canada is meant to be strictly altruistic, a law aimed at preventing the commodification of women's bodies and children. LOC: V5N8X2J/VIP: V4A-CCT77 P4NCD

There's even concern about brisk-out-mortar stores getting into surveillance pricing, by replacing price bags with electronic shelf labels that perhaps work with a store's app. CARLOS OSBRO/SID/TISS

Privacy: Why do we make tech oligarchs and data-mining operations rich of our backs?

© FRIDAY 03

Then on Monday a promotional e-mail arrived in our Grandma's furniture store (I didn't think I subscribed to — offering up, of course, entryway tables.

Artificial intelligence has been added to the privacy (or lack thereof) cuts and the possibilities are restricted. (It makes it easier for things to look for sound) real, and then easier for us to be duped and credited to our privacy or even our cash or identities.

And what do we do? Being our shoulders and carry on. Who has the time or knowledge to fight the Digital Now? Especially when it feels like the game is raged.

'They know something about you and you do not know what that is,' says Prof. Bennett.

'What I do know? We have a privacy problem. And we are being socially engineered by focus-out ads our community.'

HOW WOOD DO THEY KNOW ABOUT US?

When Octavia Howell was in, she poopled her name. She got him about Octavia the Younger, wife of the Roman general Nach Amthoen, and a European car, the Skola Octavia. There was nothing about herself. The same search as unworthy did produce some of Ms Howell's academic work, along with the car and the firemen.

'East forward as years. If you googled me now, just coming up,' said Ms Howell. 'My voice is coming up.'

A month of Ms. Howell, who is head of security for Equilux Canada, quickly brings up interviews she's given, her job feature, photographs, videos, social-media given by industry groups - all content that could be weaponized by reference actors. A recent Equilux Canada survey found that by pre-joint of Canadians are worried that technology can now be used to create kids legal documents - such as life, pay stubs, or insurance claims - that appear 'communiquely real.'

So why do we do it? Why has clicking on a terms and conditions box, accepting a website's cookies, posting our lives on social media, become an overraded? Especially when we know this information could be used to adapt them to, not to, some our loved ones? And make the tech oligarchs and data-mining operations - we're never heard of rich of the banks of our privacy?

I asked Prof. Bennett - a professor emeritus at the University of Victoria, who has authored studies and books on privacy and data protection - what the death of a data overlooks might know about me as an average Canadian.

'An enormous amount,' he answered, without hesitation. 'The capture of the data happens uncryptiously and beneath the surface of our many, many transactions online.'

We were include data about where we live, who we associate with, whether we buy a lot of toilet paper - creating those

early accurate profiles. Ms. Brandelboote described.

'In today's economy, the capture of personal data has risen 'exponentially' in importance, according to Prof. Bennett. 'It's the way that organizations, the big platforms, make wealth,' he told me. 'They are personal data in order to find the advertising economy on the internet, which allows them to do what they do.'

An error example, he proposes to be our interview. Mr. Brandelboote looked up the dictionary definition of 'privacy,' he told me. 'And when I went to the Cambridge Dictionary website, it stopped up with a notification saying that Cambridge paid for its partners' store and access digital data. To get to the definition, you have to click 'I accept.'

Okay, my online activity is being tracked but so what? I've got nothing to hide, right? I bet you've heard (or said) that by two.

This, said Prof. Bennett, is a not-herring. 'Fearlessly, just something to hide. Everybody deserves some privacy.'

WHAT CAN THEY DO WITH THIS INFORMATION?

This kind of data break crumb we leave, often unknown, but can be used in ways that would make the story serious of your head right.

With surveillance pricing, sellers we different prices in the same goods or services for different people, bringing at the same time those price adjustments aren't about the inventory (overstucked, out-of-source, the car - or on a unpopular) but about the shotgers - their habits, finances, relations, or buy, based on data that has been collected.

We're used to some pricing with, say, airline fares - even if we don't like it, but different prices for tangible goods! Putting a high- or price because, are you best to modify? Facebook friends? That seems to have been a bridge too far for public trust. Okay, we'll give you our e-mail address, okay, we'll sign up for the newsletter. But you're going to use that information - to charge me more for something!

Ever. Otherhemes, a cyber security expert based in the US and Germany suggested an experience to a person in the computer inside and get your price. Then go back to your regular search engine, and different prices? Don't when it's free you, he said. 'They're using my identity to price me up, and that takes the go seconds to just use it you're being tracked and priced.'

Mr. Ottenheimer, founder of the security consultancy flying program, is the one who likes the name 'truth' and/or 'because' while surveillance can be useful in certain contents, making sure ethics violation.

Various factors can affect the price differences and it's hard to know who is doing what, as the information is proprietary, but here's one example - never proven, but the subject of much speculation. You are trying to or

Why has clicking on a terms and conditions

box, accepting a website's cookies, posting our lives on social media, become an overraded?

Especially when we know this information

could be used for manipulativ, or, rob us, scam our loved ones?

dut a rule, but your battery is low, which is detected on the other end, so there is knowledge of your urgency, even desperation. Up goes the price.

There's even concern about brisk-out-mortar stores getting into this game, by replacing price bags with electronic shelf labels that perhaps work with a store's app.

Sourney has some justify this as a positive practice. People of lower means can pay less than the rich.

But that would suggest a benevolent marketplace. What we have here is a way for Big Tech Big Data to help Big Retail Finance as much as possible out of us by using data to determine how much we are willing to purchase provided by you and me - and decentralized by AI faster than you can read this sentence.

'Your privacy is what steady between you and this ware of people trying to take as much as possible from you,' said Mr. Ottenheimer.

WE NEED REGULATION

Last April, Alberta's official list of electors - which contains persons at information of 2.5 million of hostans - was posted online in a shocking data forum.

Here's why it might not have been that shocking that you should still be shocked. Next of what led to the lack was above-based. Segmented political parties have legitimate access to the list of electors, including the provincial populations Republican Party of Alberta, from which the lack was alleged to have organized, big-gating investigations. However, the Centennial Project, the provincial populations advocacy group that elections Alberta said posted at 30, does not. Lists are distributed only to political parties and elects of officials and must not be shared. Further, political parties, federally and in most provinces, are exempt from privacy laws. There is a campaign to change that, which the government - and the parties - are resisting 'very immensely.' Prof. Bennett said.

In his recent testimony to the House and Senate on the issue of privacy protection for political parties, Prof. Bennett presented a what he calls the total business, one of Bill C-10, the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data, an (PPCDA), on this matter. The bill

is a significant overhead meant to accelerate the conduct of the local Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PPCDA), and tested as protection against surveillance pricing. [Mantelsis, meanwhile, has introduced legislation to ban the practice, which is safe 'preoccupational algorithms' pricing.]

But the proposed system will use a new commission overrun the private sector, taking that on a completely away from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. Prof. Bennett argues that under such a system, accountability for the privacy issue will be fragmented and made unnecessarily complicated. He is also concerned that there is no real international parallel on which Canada can model this system.

The bill has passed first reading and is heading to second reading in the fall.

Then there's Bill C-2, which has passed third reading and is headed to the Senate. The Lawful Access Act would give police and Cliffs access to more digital information store quickly and from tech companies to retain metadata for six months (reduced from one year, as originally proposed). Big Tech and civil liberties groups don't like it. (Communists, experts were against storing all that metadata.)

Neither we should be more up in arms about the last they have all this information to begin with. As Mr. Ottenheimer put it: 'You can't look what you can't gather.'

PRIVACY OUT IN THE WORLD

Digital surveillance has invaded our Bill, would - for security, we've told. Which is great. I'm all for criminals getting caught. But at what point does the surveillance itself become - or at least feel - criminal?

Or empty.

'You are potentially being treated constantly.' Lover, she's hands-on, a data-protection lawyer with the European privacy. We're not only a good business, and we.

There is the controversy over. Flock's amount, which use AI to read licence plates - ostensibly to catch criminals beyond the mass, indiscriminate, served-lance, there are fears information - can get into the wrong hands - to start to enhance purposes, including by immigration authorities.

There's also concern about secondary, money-making uses - for grocery stores, for instance, to reach shopping habits. An white middle-aged woman must likely to buy bonuses 'the a mass scale, such observations can become reliable information.

There are privacy concerns to be used for a private glance, with cameras built into the Ray-Ban feature. Among other issues, the AI-supported specs make it easy to surreptitiously record - or live stream - unsuspecting passively. Cancer, or far less obvious than cellphones, which themselves have cut into our privacy in the world.

And our phones - are they lo-

testing to us? Beyond when we prompt them by venturing ideas or too! Is that how the internet faces about my halfway problems was it listening to my conversation? There is no hand evidence proving this. I'm told, but what is happening might be easier. 'The algorithmic have become so sophisticated that they practically don't need to listen to you to actually understand your interests or which products to push to you,' Mr. Lehtisandler said.

Another social thing happened to me while nothing like. There's no need for a new feature. However, for this story, I typed the word 'teacher' into a Word document, connected to an online server. Then, boom, two hours later, Facebook Marketplace served me up a listing for a B9+100A master oven.

Osteoalance?

WHAT CAN WE DO?

With such inaccurate interview, I became more distressed. 'We've dropped!' I think I said to each person.

But here is some helpful info I gathered along the way regarding how we can protect ourselves.

Obviously, he careful about sharing personal details online. But also practice good computer hygiene: clear your cache, clear your battery and use a search engine that doesn't capture your search information. (Facebook-Co-For instance.) On a VPR. Use cellholders if you have accounts for social-media platforms you don't use, cancel them. If you don't have to subscribe to buy something, don't. Use uncorrelated messaging, such as Signal. Use text-based authentication. Use a pass-key. Or at least after your password is. Mr. Ottenheimer suggested creating a new e-mail address - and then a new online identity - for each store.

Sure, some of this may sound like a hassle. But as Mr. Howell put it to me. The things that made it easy for us also make it easier for bad actors to target us.

Above all, regulation is key, even if tech will always be ahead of legislation, your should village organizations to treat personal data with care, to only collect it for reasonable purposes and to test disclose it without restrictions. Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDR) is a good model. Article is other data protection. Try design and try default. The European Convention on Human Rights recognition privacy as a fundamental right.

'The most important thing in the future can be to protect themselves in to understand which politicians are in favour or against their rights to privacy,' said Mr. Lehtisandler, from 'human.' And we have to be careful about.

Reader, I am hoping the entryway table, I need it. My current one is to charge for the space; it's a hazard! And the internet, somehow, knew this. It did its work to separate me from my cash, within all the same time making me feel good about the purchase. Another I believe day for the truth market.

94 AGING

THE GLOBE AND MAN | SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 2026

Ageless beauty

As I enter my 70s, my vanity will be the last thing to go, Ian Brown writes

OPINION

Ian Brown is a button sorter with The Globe and Mail. His latest book is Severity. Definitely the Beginning of the End. A Story of My Severity-First Year, from which the following essay has been adapted:

Winter

Today (Feb. 4, 2024) is my 70th birthday. Fishing around in my phone for some van-whal thought – at 70, it I don't write them down they're gone like children whose hand you momentarily unclair in a crowd only to discover that they're disappeared – I stumbled across the photographs from last December's Christmas lunch of my high-school graduating class. We graduated in 1973.

I have been afraid to look at the pictures. They're pretty shattering – close-ups of a dozen guys, pomegranate faces and rolling full jowls, sagging skin. There's one that shows me cupping my ear, to hear better, even with my hearing aids, which makes me look like an inmate in one of Hispanic's madhouse drawings, scanning toward the undercipheralite sounds of my now dying world.

I have been convinced for a couple of years that something happens to the male face after 70 that makes it impossible to smile naturally in a photograph. In one's late 30s, the musculature and elastin of the face begins to weaken, so there's that. The battle is over much sooner than anyone realizes. The subcutaneous fat of the face begins to migrate from under the eyes south to the now flapping jowls, leaving caverns behind. As I hit 70, in every picture anyone takes of me, I'm caught looking either a) insanely over-enthusiastic or b) as if I am recovering from an invasive procedure at the psychologist. Those are the only alternatives.

But why wouldn't I look apnoea? Severity is a grave age than no, edged, more emotional. I can no longer avoid nothing how quickly the time I have left to nothing by – it's a steady onshore breeze – and how much there is to lose.

Severity is serious. The seriousness often engrafts me like an atmosphere. And it isn't just me that creates the fog, though I do my separate part, it's the sad, cautious bureaucracy of aging, the array of orthodoxies pushed onto men and women as they get older – as if we're all maldiedly the same, with the same incapabilities and the

same non-knogings. Oh, you're in! You're a series, you must do what serious do and retire. What, you're 70? You shouldn't be taking any risks, so for God's sake stop travelling/taking training/driving/seeing/speening your eyes in the morning. You could hurt yourself. Two months ago, learning that I still do in the backcountry, someone shouted: 'Ian, that's insane!'

But aging's lousy reputation can't be blamed entirely on ageism. The vanity of the elderly is another culprit – a force that drives the complicated truth about getting older underground, away from the light of candour. If we could overcome, or at least be open to, our fear of life (because it ends up being about fragility and death), this wouldn't be such a problem. Much of the difficulty of getting older comes down to vanity. It's pretty much the last thing to go.

I'm now permanently old-fashioned, clothing-wise: sports jackets, grey flannels, brown lace-up shoes or (when I'm feeling snappy) sneakers with cushioned soles the thickness of horserad. I aspire to timeless Anglo-American classicism. My actual look is that of a guy who was gardening and hogs in a change bin clothes before heading out to do his errands with his fly down. (Which, I have read, can be a sign of oncoming dementia.)

'I would settle,' I said to Johanna, my wife, as we walked to a cocktail party in the neighbourhood, 'for a look like the old guys we used to on in Little Italy, guys in their ordinary Sunday suits and a plaid shirt done up to the neck, on their way to the cafe to watch the soccer.' I'm referring to a look from 20 years ago. 'Kind of like my dad, without the tie and blazer. Its meant it as a sign of suspect, but it just looked old-fashioned.'

It alarms me that I am beginning to experience some of what I watched my father experience as an old man. I can't possibly be as old as my father was when I understood him to be elderly.

'Well,' Johanna said, 'yous dad was very dapper.' The real using her explanatory tone of voice, more common of late.

Johanna is eight years younger than I am. She sometimes suggests more fashionable looks for me. This is a flattering but doomed interview. If I never again see a 70-year-old (in Ted's shoes and a cotton flax cap it will be too soon.

The only thing worse than being seen to be old? Being seen trying to look younger than you are. At 70, vanity gets you both ways.

Spring

Natural at Studio 10 on Portland Street, is the heart of Toronto. My gay friends call this neighbourhood 'the straight village.' I get my hair cut here because Chanel, the owner – real yes, utterly charming, much in demand as a stylist to the famous and noteworthy, as well as to yoke like misunderstands my hair.

The hair I have left at 70's a horseshoe of silver surrounding a continuously widening frontal narrow (of half-screws) in this – not that it was a decade ago, but I desperately need a haircut. The main challenge is the marooned slit on my mid-fanground cranial acreage, a mini-plantation of wisps marooned from any other patch of hair on my head. I keep wondering if I should show it.

Chanel solves the uneven real estate problem of my hair by keeping the bits on the top of my head somehow invisibly longer. I can then comb them straight back without anyone thinking I am attempting a comb-over. Lots of people of my vintage sweep their hairs straight back. Martin Amis did it, Ralph Holmes and even Jeff Bridges do it. So I do it.

And yet this strange means that within three weeks these longer hands grow longer still and I start to resemble an aging manh-up of Hulk Hogan and Robinson. It's not a good look. Sooner than I want to can really afford, I need to head back to Chanel for another haircut, too, which includes a 20-year-old boy because there is no way I am tipping into that that to the person who controls how I look. Not that anyone's looking any more, but vanity's a lifelong vice.

On the plus side, at Studio 10 I get my hair washed by Johanna. It's a fantastically insane experience. Casual physical intimacy is noticeably rare at 70. Every hogging becomes a phenomenological thrill. You never know which hog might be your last.

When my parents were in their early 90s, I helped them do their shopping at Loopsy's, my exacting mother's preferred grocery store. My father liked to stop at the TD Canada Trust bank in the mid-hour the grocery store. I tried again and again to teach him how to use the ATM, but it never took. 'I prefer the comfort of a killer,' he said. The comfort of another human being, even a teller. This is what Johanna teaching my head is now: a human being reminding me that I am still a human be-

ing, in these age- and human-shattering times, it is a very easy thing to forget.

I am trying to be less self-conscious about my older and older body. I feel I owe it to my senior ilk as an act of crumbling solidarity to be physically forthright now that my days are undeniably numbered. I must enjoy what I can enjoy now, while I can still enjoy it. Now that a onto-mile bike is beginning to feel like a syamile one, now that all my apparel are of two or even three unpredictable minds. What did Ed Crossport, the former editor of The Globe and Mail, say the other night at pickleball – where else? – when I told him I was keeping a diary of the year I am 70? 'I liked the previous diary about turning 80.' Fianc: 'You had I then did back then.' That was how he pronounced it. 5-for-dirt tingling that I have less interesting stuff to write about now. Which gave me a quiet pang.

Old nakedness is at least forensically interesting. I perform my 70-year-old routine every morning: cheesy, shave, are drops (anti-glaucoma), sunscreen (PFA 12,000), mouthwash, hair gel (those wipes), followed by the standard once-over. The chest, once broad and widest at the top, is now widest about a third of the way down. The thighs are more ham-kike. My knees, a warm of hands and protrusions, resemble the business end of a caveman's club. And let's not even mention the words poppy, weekly or cuppy. 'Ash hair, toad hands, prune face,' was Philip Latham description in his devastating poem. The Old Folk Sometimes I imagine seeing me, as I am now, through my 20-year-old eyes. Who is this sagging husband I've become? He's almost but not quite unrecognizable: he is who I became, and I am who he became. We are all of us doing this together, all the time, waiting to see what genetics and chance have in store for us. Which makes us equally fragile and the same. And contradicts the much. On certain mornings, that feels almost miraculous. Screw Latham and screw his company.

I'm not suggesting for a moment that I don't miss my younger body. There is nothing quite like one's younger body. Remindering how it felt as it performed its miracles is like watching all the most exciting sports on television at the same time. Whereas my aging body is like an old pal I sometimes need to bend a hand.

If only we could be less ashamed of ourselves as we grow older. I'm not interested

in victory anymore. I'm interested in what happens while the game is still, to everyone's astonishment, being played. The suspense is surprisingly gripping.

Summer

On my way into the Queen Mother, a downtown Toronto restaurant, the matter d' stops me and asks if he can help. I say I am meeting a friend on the covered patio at the rear of the restaurant.

'Ah,' he says, glancing at my white hair. 'How are you with stairs?' That is, are I capable of descending one set of stairs and finer, according, another short flight to reach my destination? Do I look like I have employment? Am I carrying a court? Do is asking if I am too old to get to the patio? What if I say I am? What's he going to do? Crane me in? Piggyback me? The poor guy is being a decent human being and a thoughtful matter of, so why am I offended? Because of my bottomless vanity, my unwillingness to admit that I am indeed changing with age.

'Oh, sure,' I say as blithely as I can, as if I might actually break into song, or thrilled to be alive am I. 'I'm good with stairs?' I make a point of keeping down and dashing up the stairs. I take two at a time and nearly tear my inguinal canal.

Risk is everywhere? My comment to work by bike this morning was the usual steady glide interrupted by intermittent pangs of mortal terror. I now quietly remind myself every time I set off to make sure this isn't my last ride – the moment when I broke too suddenly for some doddering imbuckle who has let his microscope fluffball dog venture unexpectedly into the bike lane on its intractable bush only to have me sail over the handlebars to quadrupigs. We all hang by a thread, and its thinnest tertiles on Statistical probability doesn't play favourites. But even a minor accident is more consequential at 70, hence my stately, parade-spoed pace. Cutting out of the house with my wallet, glasses, hearing aids, phone and keys – the Big Five – isn't guaranteed either. At 70, one must be prepared. The question is: For what? This constant wariness is exhausting, which is one reason everyone over 70 likes a nap.

I have noticed these tremors of fear everywhere. So the car ('there's a truck?'), getting into cold water ('I could have a heart attack'), much less drinking, and barely any cannabis. the w.p.p.m. itch

I am trying to be less self-conscious about my older and older body. I feel I owe it to my senior ilk as an act of crumbling solidarity to be physically forthright now that my days are undeniably numbered. I must enjoy what I can enjoy now, while I can still enjoy it.

at a dinner party to go home to bed ('I used to sneak out of the house to go to parties.' Johanna said the other day, 'whereas now I sneak out of parties to go home!'), and, last but not least, complete avoidance of any talk of sex or lust, when it years ago it was a staple of every conversation.

It's unclear how much sex any of my friends are having after 70, if any. It is a sign of our deafness vanity that we never talk about it.

Yes at 70 is not as ready as it once was, although it can be as steady, once it decides to get out of bed or off the couch or on the trail. One must improvise. Unplanned arousal used to plague me by the hour, on the hour, as it does most human beings at one stage of their lives. At 70, it's more like a special occasion. Oh, look who's here! What a nice surprise. Why don't you come in and have a drink? No? You have to go? So soon! Too bad.

Fall

I am my new ophthalmologist on Monday. My old, now-retired eye doctor, Robert Magnani, called me 'Manny Klein' (the punchline of a joke I once told him) and always chatted for at least half an hour. The new practice maximizes every potential profit point in the eye-dochoring system. I am administered a vision test and a pressure test and a visual field test and undergo rest test but two complete tests every time I step across the threshold. My new eye disc (at least 20 years Dr. Magnani's junior) is an excellent ophthalmologist. We talk for five minutes, max.

liter staff process an endless stream of (aging) patients with the advents of hovering Black Hawk helix-spiers under heavy one-my-lies.

Next week, it's the respirologist. I'm part of a study of kidney smokers. I exhale vigorously into what looks like the nectile of a four-ditch, as he steps me on - 'Keep going, keep going, keep going, good!' - whereupon he dictates the result into the transcription machine of his computer. My lung capacity is well above average. I am a god. I like the good news, and so I adore my respirologist. After all, I am 70.

So yes, I see doctors more often than I used to. On the other hand (it occurred to me out of nowhere the other day) I'm no longer afraid of dying, just like that, a lifelong fear evaporated. 'Most things may never happen,' he Lathan wrote. 'This one will.' What I am is quietly but intermittently sad that I will one day (sooner now than later) have to say good-bye and not be here anymore - that all this pleasure and pain and caring and worry and curiosity and adventure, all of it, will be no more. The sadness is pretraversing, because I won't notice it's gone when I am. Late to his shortish life, as he was dying of pancreatic cancer, Tony Hoagland wrote a poem called Visitation, in which he compared himself to an angel, looking down over the topography of his life 'with wonders and regret and affection.' Longing for the life you had, wished you'd had, didn't have, isn't only regret. It is life itself, the full range of up-and-down. No one gets out alive or blameless, and no one gets it completely right. I hope the imperfections will make it more plungent and sweeter and do less easier to lose.

Last week we trapped a raccoon. I suspect it was not his first time behind him. The event was terribly exciting, because we are older now, and everything is exciting. Remember what Holden Garfield said about his ancient English teacher in Centre or in the Rev? 'You take somebody old as hell, like old Spenser, and they can get a big bang out of buying a blames.'

This week a crew arrived to put up the storm windows. (No still have storm windows.) The job takes three hours and was not sped along by the fast that I forgot to write the location of three storms on their frames. To keep the young crew from falling one (they certainly seem capable of it). I lug the windows down from the third floor and soak them on the front porch before the crew arrives. The storms are

huge and heavy, the staircase has four landings to navigate. More a 70-year-old to fall down the stairs carrying a wide, tall, 20-pound storm window, it would be potentially life-threatening, but my vanity declares otherwise.

This tension, between risking and not risking, between wanting and not wanting, between being afraid and not being afraid, between living in the present and way back in the past, is a defining feature of being 70. I am learning to live in multiple directions at once. I feel like I am at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but of a game that could still go either way, and maybe even to multiple overtime periods - and it is the championship game, the game for all the marbles, the game you can never forget.

A session with the trainer at Philosophy Fitness. The trainer is helping me prepare for my upcoming backcountry ski trip. I am already punishing about being out of shape, hence many squats. I do not like squats. I don't even like the word squats.

But observing my squats in the endless minions that line the gem, I realize I no longer have a backside. My behind-is gone, it is behind me, heh. I now understand why we 70-ish guys are constantly hiking our pants skyward and wear our helix-like gaskets just below our nipples. That is the only way you can keep your pants from falling to the ground. Unless I start wearing suspenders, which will make me look even more old-fashioned.

Yes-words-ups I stepped into the man's room at a large downtown Toronto restaurant and inadvertently unhooked the waist while unstopping the fly of my trousers prior to using the urinal. I then re-zipped my still-unfattened pants and was stinking out of the man's room when my trousers dropped to the floor, revealing the sunny Pacific-rape orange and blue and yellow fares thigh-length brush. I had on - not my usual underpants, but the only underpants on sale at Winners at the time of purchase.

The 20-ish guy coming into the man's room as I was leaving did a double take when my trousers fell and a triple take when he saw the colour of my underpants. They were followed by a qualitatively different quadruple take when he saw how old I am.

I could see the thought forming across his brow. These senses have their zesty scene! He doesn't know the ball of it. Which is a shame.

CHIKAS POSED TO DEMINATE THE NEW AGE OF SAIL

Conflicts are happening on the world's oceans, and seafarers are the pawns, Alexander Wooley writes

EPINION

Alexander Wooley is a Canadian, a former Royal Navy officer, and the author of a new book, Bafflethje-Tarnelle: The Ship, The Myth, The Sphere.

Christopher Nolaro (this ad-approved on the Odoos) continues its phenomenal worldwide box office run, just weekend the film opened on more than 90,000 screen-scores across China, non-replicating virtually all of that country's 1964's thurters. In the movie, the boys, Glyn xmas, crosses seas while facing creatures and elements hell-fever on stopping him from getting home. He has been away for 10 years, so too, it seems, has the aircraft came U95 Abraham law cells.

Its trials and tribulations are more present. Rather than uncared moments, xmas, Charybha or Sufla, today's sailors are being harvested by faulty sexual systems, among other things. The alarming events from the center are not isolated examples. Sailors on the U95 Canada R Ford experienced similar conditions just a few months ago.

In New York, the world's oceans were furthroing and bought with danger. Then it seemed, for a few centuries anyone we were able to escape: the nose (as well as our fears of them), during which time the material conditions almost drip improved. Now we are regressing, it seems. The seas have become scary again, realizing unfair, propelling a continuing with the elements to remind us how inhospitable oceans can be.

One result, whether it's desperate refugees crossing bodies of water or there been shivering a better life, or 20,000 seafarers trapped and languishing around the West of Florence, is that he runs rights are being soundly abused on the high seas, with all the accountability or public setting of their grievances. In addition, that during the pandemic more than 20,000 civilian sailors were effectively quarantined at sea for months and even years, so legal births, instead doubling as grievances are refused to allow them ashore.

Sailors on military as well as civilian ships are under pressure because of the broader propelling situation. Even at the best of times, merchant ships have small, overworked crews. Let the Age of Sail and European expansion (from the last 1,000 through the early 1800s), the ocean are once more untamed

Narrow bodies of water (like the front of Horrican) are being drained, flags are being planted on islands in the South China Sea low have ever heard of, and governments are conducting criminalities killing at sea against suspected – but unknown – drug-numerous.

There is a gathering, forensic, race for critical minerals, rather than spices, cobalt vice-CHA-1000. With it comes the potential exploitation of lands, environment, resources, people – this are includes seafarers of all stages.

The Odoos is a classic of Western literature, but overall there is demonstrably less Western competence today at going to sea than there was in the past. Now the past several decades, Western countries have understoveled in shipbuilding, logistics, maintenance, nutrition laws and standards surveillance and environment. Like an industry, an 20,000 Greek athlete, we are moving on our laurels, while nartis have shrunk, and the ships and platforms in service underperformed.

To combat the threat of sea mines in the Persian Gulf and West of Horrican, the U.S. had specially converted a flotilla of Central Central ships (LCS). For those unfamiliar, the LCS has been a troubled class of more

than p: small warships, intended to be a mainstay of the fleet for the U.S. in the air under-road, prone to breakdown and failing at most of their intended missions. So it should come as no surprise that at the war started these mini-cleaning LCSs (terred away from the rebel and went to Southeast Asia, unlikely to be deployed on their primary mission).

Achieving the most humanities of a warship – answer-classes – has proven a challenge for the LCS, as well as for other vessels in the U.S. and other sea.

Yes. There was nothing in Britain when it was recently revealed that some of its nuclear substances were at sea, because of maintenance issues. And the one guided-missile destroyer Britain sent to Odoos-era's old company ground well after the start of the war against Iran, though into theatre before being quickly taken off the expanse.

Professional seafarers in Western navies are venturing out in understand, faulty hours, on increasingly lengthy, steady-scarping deployments. Can scare? Yes for instead? Delirium relief may come to the form of Western navies: staking their furans on small, unmanned vehicles (UVs), EIRs, UVs's above, before and on the surface of the sea. But it is not clear if these intensely operated or autonomous all-mathed robot vessels will be able to operate effectively in high sea states or in open ocean.

Expression is happening on a number of maritime fronts, with a more scary from science and toward mythology. The current U.S. administration is no fan of ocean exploration and weathering, and an executive order last week proclaimed that the U.S. would not have the relationship to a non-capsule on its aircraft carriers. In favour of old, front-force, high-trototometer steam shapeless.

Meanwhile, Odoos's cinematic fascination with a classic of Western literature is matched by that country's high interest in global ocean capture. The U95-2000's power projection. China is the Spain, Portugal or Britain of 400 years ago. Besides building the world's largest navy, Beijing is scarping up in much scientific information on the oceans as possible, for both economic and naval purposes, through networks of heavy and map-making hydrographs in vessels. There are also indications China continues to launch its own scientific game-gathering balloons over the ocean, perhaps gathering weather information, almost actually testing defences, or following the war, even of potential adversary nations.

Governments today are tightly focused on threats from cyberwarfare, cyberbully of data, sewers and intellectual property and the threat of remote disabling or unintended terrorism like power grab and stations. But these provocative, comically deployed, low-intensity, sometimes low-cost affairs can also be applied to a preferential physical realm where the same dirty state apply – old ocean film era of passive-aggressive warfare, of mischief-making without consequences, and grey-eyed attacks includes China's use of its vast-scattering fishing fleet in quasi-military roles. Russia's fire-firing exercises in the English Channel, and dragging of sedences – telecommunication cables in places like the Baltic. These advices are not dissimilar to what the 'letters of marriage' issued to a sailing prowiter by a stomach in our room ago would have allowed to go and wreak unethical haves – but do not expect to be lost from any by the crown if you get into trouble. In these kinds of actions counteracts an act of war, or not?

Regardless, they are only likely to increase in the case for critical minerals found under the deep ocean picks up speed. Whether the China's intrigue in the South China Sea, the U.S.拒绝s on with Greenland, or the thought that the same maple and other ocean an uninhabited island belonging to a NATO ally like world's oceans are where conflicts are happening, often will out of sight of most of us. Life at sea is unlikely to get best to own. Seafarers are the pawns in all of this, and it is not clear there are enough leaders like Odoos's comemetral to trying to keep their men and women safe and bring them home.

Why a Canadian diplomat was wrong about Indian students and 'marriages of convenience'

AMBER 18 | S. MARIUS CARMEL

EPINION

Amel 18 | S. is a journalist who worked with The Miss to Miss Dalits and the news to Canada in 2020 through the special sponsorship program.

Marika Gabriel was an assistant editor at the student Press from 2018 to 2023. They both work in trade publishing in Toronto.

In today's polarized public address, masses is often cast a single on conversations surrounding immigration. It is a stretch too far to find an unlikely or subject matter expertise on so real media and in the corners of the internet. And it is for that reason that masses' has never been more important in official dialogue and diplomatic channels. The most important of these are the creation that students from India were entering 'marriages of convenience' to offer the financial cost of studying abroad leads us to every that masses is disappearing even from the corridors of power.

A recent report in The Globe and Mail revealed that John Dean, the first secretary (magazine) at Canada's High Commission in the United States, is the first political abuser of Canada's special work permit by Indian undergraduate students. In a 2025

c-rual report, she said that students were entering marriages of convenience to help pay for their official benefits increasing cost of living. This practice, like the said, was "widely advertised in Indian newspapers and on dating apps." Mr. Han also asserted that many permit applications from India declined following the introduction of restrictions on special steps work permits in 2024.

Instruments of fraudulent letters of acceptance and the concerning trend of organized crime programming the student was program here given the Canadian government (direct of reason to be wary of student applications from India, however, the one who raised by Mr. Han are misplaced.

The advertisements that Mr. Han states to are indeed quite common. It is symptomatic of a practice that has existed in South Asia for millennia and has been published in various media but nearly a century.

The truth is, in India, more marriages are "of convenience" that actually, they are not of the fraudulent country. Marriage are more often than not, a means of presenting social or economic status – or elevating it. Indian society is largely endogamous, and the vast majority of Indians still enter matrimony through arranged marriages.

because students abroad or their families are ending ways to pay rations. It is because Bible – more modern Indians living abroad – are seen as a way to fulfill the dual desires of upward mobility and moving to the West.

These advertisements come with a myriad of issues – can, steam, women, coloration and classism, to name a few. But the potential for visa fraud is minimal. This is not to say that the practice, of arranged marriages being largely transnational, not barred it is, at last, built via a system that perpetuates social trust, why promised on cases and data. Students has shown that while people may seek partners who are based in the West, the key person for marriage are users, or poor, class and to one that is those are not, the text is a bonus. Living in the West, to put it liberally, and strengthen marital negotiations,

but rarely initiates them. Further, arranged marriages involving men, while perhaps growing out of aspirations in up to the mobility of the pursuit of a better life in the West, can, by and large, practice.

There could be a few had applies when a symbol created immigration programs and most people entering such marriages are, and doing so with the intentions of getting a divorce after they entertain, rather, the institutions itself is embedded in a broader social framework that values pretextualness.

There is, of course, an argument to be made that marriages – arranged or otherwise – last because divorce contains stigma, total in India and many women lack agency. These factors explain the country's relatively low divorce rates. Many Indians also gave up with the idea that marriages serve practical or familial purposes, while personal caregivers are not able to see that these can on the other occasion do not make arranged marriages any low-prime in the outset.

The systems flawed. Arranged marriages is a deeply contrastive issue, and it is shaped by social-her conflicts. Under pressure, an unengaged power dynamics. It is also transactional, with confusingly involving gold, property or other forms of wealth. These characterizations are a process that harms the matrimony in India, regardless of migration. They cannot be reduced – incorrectly – to a sham

that serves the goal of emigration.

But, that's implied argument that stricter rules for special work permits in 2024. The Indian students in Canada also falls apart at closer inspection. In the same period, the federal government introduced several measures to at the number of international students fortresses laundry, soap, and vegetables, iron; the number of study permit holders dropped from more than one million to about 195,000. For 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Universities Act 2024 worked reducing that number to a little over 100,000,000. In brief theses, executive director at Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, promoted the 10.7% of the total of the immigration policies set as a decrease. The healthist suggests that a population isn't causation.

We are writing this as recent immigration to Canada who spent our formation upon in India. Can we say that the 2024-2025 national talent from across the world and refugees whose lives have been snatched from them for people emigration from the Global Union? Can we say that the promise of a better life and a more equal society for them, in that same spirit of equality, Canadian diplomats should do more to simply understand the social structures and practices in these countries. We are not only the first to deeply flawed, but painting them as distinguished without locating their content in a disservice.

THE UNREAL DEAL

At most historical sites, authenticity takes a back seat to experience, Daniel Grant writes

OPINION

Israel to enter a 'the author of The Business of Being an Artist'

To cry, after a seven-week stage, British troops overrun the French fortress at Louisbourg at the eastern tip of Cape Breton Island in New-York. It was the final center of the French front Eastern Canada and to make certain that it would never be used in block British someone again, the walls and all no or no buildings within the fort were used to the ground. Today, the fort looks great, with the walls and cameras again smart and joy plus buildings in good repair to house men, munitions and food, while French masters carrying soldiers march this way and that in formation.

Of course, those soldiers, as well as the women in their hostures preparing food or evening, are all re-enactors, mostly staying in character (although speaking English) while explaining to visitors what life it life in the fort. A make-work project by the Canadian government in the upholstery taught out-of-work minors how to construct the fort and its interior buildings in the manner of two centuries earlier. It is interesting to see how these buildings were put together and to have about mid-40th-century life — you happy that I recently visited — but I felt feeling somewhat unnoticed. I was looking at an historical site, but not really.

Authenticity takes a back seat to experience. A downtown area of Salem, Mass., is devoted to the famous late-19th-century witch hysteria. Effort with displays of hanging moons, tortoise devices, piped-in shrubs and people in period centuries, but one quickly was that mine of the buildings are of irious vintage and that the events of the Salem witch trial actually took place in a break away from the renamed itself. Durston (in order to avoid the stigma of the trials), about eight kilometres away. One may go to the local Peabody Essex Museum, where more than 250 actual documents from the time of the Salem witch trials are part of the permanent collection, but downtown Salem itself is just a theme park. Visitors learn something about the period of the witch trials, and they may have fun in the process, but they can't trust their own eyes.

Here in the way of the Louisbourg fort is Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, a 300-acre historic site that is dedicated to talking and demonstrating late-20th-century life in the then-new country. Roughly 50 of the many buildings on the site date back to the last quarter of the 1900s, while several hundred others are

reconstructed to look like homes and workplaces of that era, which on documentary and archaeological evidence.

'We are soldiers for authenticity,' said Ronald Hunt, Colonial Williamsburg's vice-president of collections, conservation and museums, as an interview. Two estimated mandates from the American folk art and 40th-century ancestors are, but it is in and around the buildings where the research pays off. Hand on pristine records, letters and other inventions, the Colonial Williamsburg curators know. 'What furniture was in which room, where that furniture was made, what type of tableware was in the dining room.' From old samples, they are confident which plants grew around the houses, and, when they don't have full information, they 'look to period precedent' to determine what probably went somewhere. Period objects and the occasional reproduction piece of furniture are in the majority, but the houses also have many fully on-thermal dunes for visitors. 'A large percentage of our visitors want to know that that clock, that chat, that table was actually there (no or more years ago)' he said.

'What am I supposed to be thinking about while viewing those objects, talking to those people? When I talk to re-enactors, I think about what they are saying about their 'lives' and 'times.' But I am also thinking about them as contemporary for whom this is a job. What if they get paid? How much of the year do they work? When I look at replicas or period pieces, regardless of how close they're terrible what actually was in a certain place at a certain time, again my mind drifts to the subject of where one would find furniture of this period, what would it be like to have lived in this house with those objects. These thoughts and questions seem more appropriate for an episode on some BETV program than a historic site.

There also are re-enactors spread around the site, dressed in period centuries and talking to visitors about 'carrot' events (of the 10th century), while working in some period occupation (hacks women, blacksmith, middlewale, carpenter, farmer, millers, shoemaker, signator and woodworker, among others) and using reproduction tools and materials (copied exactly from those that are in the collection). One sees what an historical period was 'like' if not really an historical moment, a different but not necessarily lesser type of truth.

It is knowing that what something feels like isn't really an

It is knowing that what something feels like isn't really authentic that makes me feel unsettled. My experience at the fort in Luxembourg or Colonial Williamsburg is largely the conversations I had with re-enactors. Undoubtedly, what they told me sees based on someone's research, but that is very different than reading someone's letters from that period.

hentic that makes me feel unsettled. My experience at the fort in Luxembourg or Colonial Williamsburg is largely the conversations I had with re-enactors. Undoubtedly, what they told me was based on someone's research, but that is very different than reading someone's letters from that period. At the Lincoln Cottage in Washington, a museum established in 2001 in the soldiers' home that Abraham Lincoln used as a summer retreat during his presidency, every piece of furniture was display to either a reproduction or of the period.

'We figured out early on that we weren't going to find the original pieces that were here when Lincoln was president,' Erin Carlson Hart, the Cottage's now-named executive director, told me. 'There were no furnishings from the Lincoln period on site. There were no contemporary inventories of what had been here, or any sketches or photographs of the interior.' As a result, the Cottage was furnished in the 20th of the time 'using period furniture and a high degree of conjecture.' Still, after a while, I get tired of things that might have been there but weren't I meant the real thing. That is

where Lincoln sat down and read battlefield reports. This 10th-century letter reveals what someone was thinking at that time, and this is the type of handwriting that they learned in that day and age. The real thing focuses my mind, whereas replicas and period objects do not.

At the Folsman House, across the street from Ford's Theatre, where Lincoln was brought after being shot by John Wilkes Booth, none of the furnishings were there at the time, either. Everything on view is of the period fort, unlike the Lincoln Cottage, the National Parks Service, which owns and operates the Folsman House as well as Ford's Theatre, has had the benefit of numerous photographs revealing the furniture and decorations in the house at the time.

'We used the photographs to track down period pieces that looked like the original ones — the same wood, the same upholstery — and I think we got it down to a T.' William Check, site manager for the National Parks Service, told me.

At Ford's Theatre, none of the interior is original, the Presidential Box was recreated based on photographs taken at the time by Marlene Brady, Looking at old things or things that are made to look like old things, is not uninteresting, but our minds are led in different directions than when examining authentic objects.

Wither homes also may be more experiential than real. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors flock to the Park Team House in Hartford. Construction is order to see where he lived between 1919 and 1920. Walking through the house, visitors might imagine Swan, sitting on one of the chairs on display, writing Hackdown's Fine. However, only a small portion of the objects on one actually were there when the writer lived in the house. Most of the original pieces were either sold off or dispensed by family members. The cost of building this house and furnishing it, in fact, was too much for him, and he and his family eventually needed to sell most of the items and move abroad. (Much of what visitors see there are either reproductions or 'period' objects that look like the furniture the Commodore actually owned, based on photographs.)

A couple of hundred kilometres away, in Concord, Mass, the Louisa that 36,000 Orchard House is both strong and weak on authenticity. One book of 'the actual furniture the Alcatrazist on, the pillows they embroidered. Here wrong bags, like I original paintings and sketches,' Jan Turnpike, Orchard House's

director, noted 'If the Alcatrazist were able to come back to life and walk in the house, they would find at home, because nothing has been moved.' Two of Louisa's nephews, who established the house as a pilgrimage site for devotees of five books in 1920, 'made sure that everything was the Alcatrazist.' Four guides read from certain passages of Louisa 'brown that describe objects and people in the house, and visitors may find the they're walking through the book.'

Still, Little Women isn't quite an anthropophical as ever guides may suggest, according to Anne Trubek, author of A Surprise to God by Winnie Phelan, but 'confides fact and fiction. Louisa, they aloud felt oppressed by all her domestic duties and having to take care of her mother and sisters. She moved to Boston so that she could have a room of her own.' No Trubek claimed that part of what makes the Orchard House interesting is 'the most they choose to tell about the Alcatrazist and why they choose to tell it.'

The German writer Walter Benjamin heralded the growing ubiquity of replicas in his 1920s. The book of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. The widespread availability of photo-reproductions of paintings and other artworks breaks the hold of tradition and custom — what we call authenticity — on progress, permitting the modern mind to take new and old ideas, much there up, evidently, from and from a new whole. This was, ultimately, putting into words what Project and Places expressed in paint as Colborn. 'That which without us the age of mechanical reproduction,' Benjamin wrote. 'In the area of the work of art,' he difficult to disagree with this logic, and we can be thankful for illuminated art books, posters and other readily available photographs: documentation that allow us to 'know' works of art (not to mention foreign landscapes, buildings and clothing, even the topography of the moons or Pluto) without personally having to travel to see them. Our knowledge, and the ability to make use of what we have learned, is increased and advanced in this way.

Still, aura matters, and for good reason. The presence of an historical object focuses the mind on it, its maker and its content in ways that replicas, reproductions and photographs of it cannot. I don't in any way condemn the experiential historical site — how otherwise would I know what a certain time in the past looked and felt like? — but I recognize it as a kind of truth that is only kind of truthful.

People dressed as soldiers participate in the torch-10 Williamsburg Military Taffos in Virginia in May.

EDITORIAL

The subject who is truly liquid in the chief magnitude will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary resources - Article.

A temporary permit is not forever

A Ottawa has tightened up its immigration policies, protests of temporary workers and international students have sprung up across the country, demanding they be allowed to stay.

The claims of amputations from temporary residents and their advocates are misplaced. Foreigners who entered the country with temporary status agreed to stay here for a fixed period of time. If they are unable to extend their status when their permits expire, they need to respect the conditions of their permits and have.

In the past year, foreign workers in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec have held protests about changes to provincial immigration programs. International students in Ontario and Alberta have staged recent demonstrations about their inability to get postgraduate work permits.

Many media stories have portrayed the situation as unfair, given that temporary residents and their families made big sacrifices for them to come to this country with the hopes of building a better life. Many foreign students, for example, went into debt or sold assets to afford steep international tuition fees.

The Trudeau government, as well as some colleges, raised expectations by promoting temporary permits as a path to permanent immigration. Study permits were easy to get, and securing a postgraduate work permit after was almost a sure thing. While it's unfortunate for some, Ottawa did need to act to tighten up the system.

The lower policies resulted in a large influx of newcomers, with the number of permit holders and their family members outpassing or million in scrap. The resulting intrusion on the housing and labour markets contributed to a drop in support for immigration. Ottawa belatedly tightened up immigration measures, and provinces have also been making adjustments to their programs.

Not all those temporary residents will be able to stay, and immigration officials should resist pressure to reverse course. Temporary residents with the right skills to succeed economically under the points-based system are great candidates for permanent residency, but those who came here to attend low-quality colleges or do unskilled work might not make the cut. It sounds harsh, but they entered the country on a condition to stay for a fixed period of time, and never had a guarantee of citizenship.

The federal government has greatly reduced the number of new temporary residents entering the country, yet the number of people on work permits is still high, owing to renewal. Meanwhile, people with 'Canadian experience' are getting prioritized for permanent residency, and it's extremely difficult for high-skilled, high-earning candidates outside the country to get in.

The large number of people on permits has become a huge administrative burden for the immigration ministry, causing people to fall out of status while they await renewals or new permits. The ministry's solution - allowing people to keep working while they wait for a decision on a new permit - is another case of worms.

The 'maintained status,' or the practice is called, effectively lets people work without a proper permit owing to bureaucracy, incapacity, and it's a dangerous signall to send that could encourage some to overstay. Some people with lapsing permits hoping to get chosen for permanent residency are submitting applications for new permits knowing they will be refused but that it will extend their stays.

Canada needs to ditch the two-step system that created this issue. Study permits should be for people who want to learn at a Canadian postsecondary institution, not just people using them as a gateway to immigration. The temporary foreign worker program, which offers leads to exploitation and suppresses wages, should be scrapped outside of agriculture.

The immigration ministry needs to return to a system where the bulk of candidates for permanent residency are chosen from outside of Canada based on their ability to succeed economically. Canada should also continue to accept refugees and settlers claimants in need of protection.

By its very definition, a temporary permit is temporary. Yet, there have been changes to Canada's immigration system over the past few years, but that last remains constant. While the tighter rules are certainly disappointing for many, they aren't unfair.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THICK OF IT

Re "Inside the early battle against the ferocious field fringe wildfire" (Aug. 15) I love to friends in Canada, where smoke season has become a grim reality.

As a counsellor, I've witnessed my clients' mental health ratified by wildfires choking off the class. My partner drives past consolidating wreckage on the way to work. My daughter is in a vulnerable process datation because she has no transportation in case of evacuation.

Officially or otherwise, we are all on evacuation alert. If our towns are untouched, it is dumb luck that spurns us.

Most of us understand that climate change contributes to these conditions, though many feel boldless facing something larger than any one person. Divesting from food-fed/turboid/active/and economic or poor relations helps create a hopeful and abundant future.

This is the message I want to share with my clients and with young people in the U.S. Interior with no memory of a time before there was a smoke season. ■ Deirdre McLaughlin Nelson, B.C.

We are living in a state of emergency.

The air here is thick with smoke, and my town is full of Summerland creatures. Community and local government efforts to support them are comprehensive and heartwarming. Firefight my efforts are extraordinary. Regular emergency briefings are impressive.

But those are emergency responses and not sustainable long-term. We should address effectively the root causes of these diseases. If we don't stop freedom, local fiefs, we will not have a flexible future.

Wildfires are revolving in tragedies and profound losses. At the peak of a beautiful harvest, farms are can't work. Already we know one organic farm has burned, along with the homes of the two families who worked for years to develop it.

Something is wrong with society when people who grow, school and make our world a healthier place too everything, while those producing and selling food leads prosper, supported by our governments.

■ Elizabeth Lominaka Johnson Panteles, B.C.

Your report demonstrates the nature of those who argue we can adapt to climate change without fundamentally changing our lifestyle and society. We should decarbonize.

The power and speed of the unperchanged field fringe wildfire unexplained even experienced, well-prepared responders. Meanwhile, our leaders seem smart on pouring more oil and gas into the

climate interest. ■ James McNeill Ottawa

Re "Quebec's sath of allegiance dodge could end in legal chaos" (Opinion, Aug. 15) No-tot-ference any. I am nothing wrong in the Quebec National Assembly or any other 'legislation', especially if unanimous, wishing to remove the requirement for the sath to the King. The purpose of 'repuritating' the Constitution in spite was to end the involvement of the lain in amending it (which still largely consists of British legislation).

Under Section 4 of the 30th Constitution Act, amendments in relation to the monarchy requires resolutions of the Senate, House of Commons and legislative assemblies of each province. In practice, the politicians of the time made it almost impossible to replace the British monarch as our head of state with whoever a majority of Quebecers or other Canadians may wish.

READING INTO IT

Re "Canary shares what's on his summer reading for" (Aug. 6). Knowing what someone has on their summer reading list can of for insight into them. Mark Carney has some interesting theoretical tip.

It's a shame that let Lewis and Harry Pedersen did not provide their lists. I suspect Mr. Lewis is busy plotting for elation on energy, assuming he wants to enter the theses.

As for Mr. Pedersen, I recommend How to Win Female and In-Box to People for might find that useful.

CLEARED FOR TAKESOFF

Re "God made toddlers smaller than adults for a reason" (Opinion, Aug. 15). The a reason trip to Europe, my wife and I decided to splurge on business-class seats.

As other passengers boarded, I was gripped with consternation as a young family with a baby set up camp in the seats across our shared aisle. It has been so years since we had our babies, so I know my tolerance would be limited. Maybe our own kids occurred or even wanted to an airplane once or twice, but those memories have conveniently failed.

As it turns out, these parents were very attentive and they have did not make a substantial people to be born. The bosses! With responsible parents, children can do well in any airplane seat.

There may even be no need to

buy noise-attending earphones or have the flight cancelled. Let that be a lesson for me. ■ Ire Taife Toronto

BETTER NATURE

Re "We must remember. We are all a part of nature" (Opinion, Aug. 15). The message here is profound by any measure.

Once we understand that the human risk in the natural world is no better than that in the world, we reach a greater understanding of who we are in a race and our role here on Earth. We have a power to think, laugh and reason that is superior to other life, but that does not make us superior to it.

"Life is a collaborative process, not just a competitive one, and we are very much part of nature, not separate from it." These words resonate with me, as I hope they do for a new generation looking for a future of hope that transcends the value of mankind things.

The more people who join this train of understanding, the more mature we become as the human race.

■ Mark Callon City, Broadway Ave., Trans Far Life, Markham, Ont.

I worry this analysis about circuits a deep understanding of the problems we face with regard to the environmental strain.

Summing up the root of the problem by blaming the action as comes from it: a conversation across the centuries between philosophers that is outside of history. Environmental problems are embedded in the natural relation of history and the deep momentum of those relations.

It's thick that we just need to do our dedication right to solve those problems profoundly underestimate the reality.

REVISEANT ROUTINE

Re "Rituals are central to our evolutionary story. So why did I refuse to practise them in my own life?" (Opinion, Aug. 15). I'd say a ritual in part of a shared ceremony that may touch the sacred, if that is how an individual participant experiences it. But the sacred can also be apprehended by individuals without reference to ritual.

Oh me, the sacred is not only the awesome mystery of our existence, but also what holds us. In my opinion, it deserves our reverence - at minimum, our respect. ■ Patrick Smith Actress

Trump's carnival act is a threat to democracy

IV Vance was right to say Watergate wouldn't stick today! Just not for the reason he thinks

ROBERT GILOTTY DAUGHTER LEE

OPINION

Robert Gilsitty is an associate professor of political science at the University of Chicago.

Dawdron Lee is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Chicago.

It's Vice President IV Vance recently passed that if Washington happened today, it would be a critical news story that is including that President Donald Trump's administration can survive scandal that would occur have brought down a presidency or was the a job at a media establishment that is too small to make any allegation under the law. The story currently identified one of democracy's largest vulnerabilities when every accusation can

be dismissed as a partisan informant, and when every sanitary-mastlie comment is explained once a "just-holding, democratic oversight begins to break down.

The news research on show that democracy's last line of defence is not the opposition, but the incumbent's own supporters. It is they who must ultimately defend democracy, since everyone else already opposes the person in power.

Hungary's recent election is a case in point: former prime minister Vicki Chislaw lost out empty because his opponents turned out to lock, but because many of his own voters abandoned him. The same is true of the United States. The recent American democracy, enough voters from within the "Hungry's NAVA roadview must be willing to abandon a president they prefer to preserve a system they value.

Not that is a tall order, given that those voters do not directly influence democratic backlashing abroad, they are investigations, indictments, alarmed experts, and congressional hearings from their perspective, it can be hard to distinguish a president under wage by a hostile press

from one who is genuinely undermining democracy.

This third spot is precisely what makes the Trump's president for trolling so contagious. But in our analytic framework, politician can always take what we call the disciplined path: acting in ways that leave little room for ambiguity and forgoing its short-term advantages that come from keeping everyone guessing. Mr. Trump, however, does the opposite, leaving it to his audience to decide whether he is serious. This tactic dates to be first presidential run, when he declaimed his mode remarks to the state of California. A "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that," a "better than that,"

less than those when issued too often. So, responsible critics raise the evidentiary bar, refrain from pursuing ambiguous cases, and sound the alarm only when the evidence is strongest. Resistant is meant to ensure that when they do warn the public, people will listen. Yet insinuate too evidence because voters are not simply evaluating the President. They are also judging those sounding the alarm, by our steady, every stratum shapes voters' judgments of both the incumbent's conduct and the critic's motives. The confluence of false news and relentless telling, com-pressed and profitful, caution means lower alarm, but fewer alarm from responsible critics also mean that any warning the public does have a never-biting room from a partisan opponent out for blood, and thus more likely to look like a partisan which burst hesitant - the very quality that should make criticism end-life - ends up descending a turning the other's own professional against the wall. American politics did not always work this way. In July, says, at the height of the Watergate scandal, only 17 per cent of Americans told pollsters that the

press was "just not to get." President Richard Nixon, in the evidence mounted, Mr. Nixon lost the support of many of his own voters and ultimately resigned rather than fact impeachment. That is how democratic oversight should work.

When voters no longer punish such ambiguity, politicians have every incentive to exploit it.

Mr. Vance therefore is right that Watergate would now burn out in many of the state of California reason he thinks. It is not that the press is too weak or too biased. It is that a politician who deliberately submits an ambiguity as a government, and that actually the meaning of criticism, casting legitimate meetings as partisan hysteria.

That does not mean that voters should believe every accusation, or that the press should be called a President, but knows is that the carnival act is not merely a personality trait, but a political strategy. The Washington Post's slogan bansquily warns that "democracy has a darkness," the research points to the fact that the American government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government. The government is not a "dramatic" for the government.

Ukrainians see a different Zelensky - one who needs to be reformed

DOUG JACKBUCK

OPINION

A would-be's agency is two-country Zelensky by foreign leaders and commentators in "Churchillars."

They're referring, accurately, to the Ukrainian President's ability to rally his people around and to be authorized to return, to individual an international coalition to serve and support his country, and to embrace innovative technologies that have transformed the way the world aims right.

But there's another meaning of "Churchillars" that's also applied to Mr. Zelensky, mainly at home.

Between Churchillars and a democracy had dramatic leader. In cabinet before the war and as Prime Minister after, he was finally and momentarily veteran, assistant to reform, reactionary, or curator, and governs cronyman and leader, home of three qualities: the "best" of the official white man traits, but even during these years he was fiercely criticized for his shortened, aristocratic approach.

When it was declared informed Ukrainian reformer this second time, the Churchillars' "Churchillars" Mr. Zelensky, they're invariably thrown up their hands and given me that very Ukrainian "but of course" less. That includes, especially, the local yet put people within his party.

The become very public this week, when Mkhailo Solonov, the young defunct minister who had been faced by Mr. Zelensky in talk, released a new release "brochure of the" contributing Ukraine's "epidemic crisis of government" and calling for wartime elections.

She has been the second summer in a row in which Ukrainian

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky attends a welcoming ceremony in front of the Palace of Serbia in Belgrade on Aug. 8, 4:00pm (LADY)ATLANTIC WEEKLY

have taken to the streets against Mr. Zelensky's actions to protect loyalists. In this case, Mr. Solonov was a highly popular figure, with it credited with introducing high-tech, down, washed and then bringing the war to Russia and turning its rule. He had been called because Mr. Zelensky felt he needed to end a paralyzing trial between him and military commander-in-chief. Obituaries quickly, an old grand convention of American. In many Ukrainians, it looked like yet another entrance to which their President favoured loyalty over competence.

They days at inner protests, Mr. Zelensky responded to, after being Mr. Spolky, and putting new people into his rebellion. He described the events of war, when Ukraine's two-joint corruption of imitations had exposed a

scheme in which businessman Omar Mushak, a friend and former business partner of the President, was accused of insulting about "Churchillars" into his lack-lacky path to Ukraine's medical power against days later, and corruption agents raided the need of Safety Forces, who at head of the President's office was Ukraine's most powerful official, allegedly in contention with the scheme. Mr. Zelensky found him out in November.

Mr. Zelensky had agreed a law but felt that effective measures the corruption agencies, subcontracting them to almost cut the cost of its control. They were working on the formal and the colleagues' little after large scale many protests last summer did he resist the independent status of the agencies, allowing the investigation

tions to go ahead.

Mr. Zelensky has never really served as a peacetime leader. When he was elected in 1996, he was a member and occupation of Crimea, and he had called for over-the-way because of the years, nevertheless, he was elected on an anti-corruption and modernization platform. He hadn't been greatly successful at either, except that, unlike previous Ukrainian presidents, he wasn't an off-croft, and have previously been associated with serious corruption, home of his actions before 2002, and many after, have no sexual condemnation. Many, maybe, had president, are now appointed loyalists rather than elected figures only a single state-controlled TV news broadcast in almost, many officials appear to have been replaced with

more loyal and unquestioning figures.

It's important not to mistake the Ukrainian critique of Mr. Zelensky with the ones that come from Moscow and Washington. President Vladimir Putin's long characterized the Ukrainian leader as a "best" child, somehow a mediatorship portraying him as an agent of 'diagnostic' Western homosexuality and gender politics. Should Trump last year counsel Mr. Zelensky, he's using the war? to avoid elections and the Ukraine is "not a democracy."

Mr. Zelensky is decidedly not to win the far-right, to lead the election in 2009, provided the permanent collapse of a vicious right politics. And there are good reasons why no Ukrainian leader would have held an election since 2012. Wartime elections are forbidden under Ukraine's constitution. Polling stations would serve as targets for Russian missiles. The six million Ukrainian refugees abroad would need a way to vote. And protecting Moscow from manipulating the vote, as it has in the past, would be very hard.

It's unlikely an election will, or could, be held now. But until 2012, the two-thirds of Caucasian members of the state war leader can take consultation that their protests, and Ukraine's imperfect system of checks and balances, have been working.

The first of the 2012 elections, including the United States - the corruption and cronymen got exposed, and Mr. Zelensky does not have to attend without a

He needs to be confronted more. Before the recession is a little more, the President has been in the media, democratic decembrance, and the disarmed idea of mass competition, and he has received his duty, nothing that President's worst instincts.

The Lindsay Clancy trial exposes the cruel reality of mental illness

ROBYN SHARAT

OPINION

A bizarre but somewhat insatiable conspiracy theory has spread its response to the continuing trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman who killed her three children and then stopped out of a second-money window on an attempt to end her own life. Mr. Clancy does not deny that she killed her children - aged 8, and a baby of eight months - but she claims she was suffering from postpartum psychosis a man, breathing, and poorly understood condition that her defense turns argues modern her not creम्यally in the world.

In the months leading up to the killing, Mr. Clancy was "big guy for baby," according to her former mother-in-law, who testified in the first-degree murder case Tuesday this board's "male" case, and taking away full of black, psychologist Paul Zenzl told the court. She was prescribed a cocktail of medications,

she called a suicide hotline, she saw various mental health professionals and she admitted herself to a psychastic hospital. But it wasn't enough. Mr. Clancy triumphed her children in the treatment of their home on late 2009.

A huge cohort of online deaths, however, are not perishable. They believe that Mr. Clancy's husband - Patrick Clancy - was the one who actually killed the children and then continued Mr. Clancy that she continued the act. They point to a sum of "evidence" that is supposedly contrary to official evidence. The case is a "fatal" relationship from Mr. Clancy's daughter, which, when she left from the window, for example. The details are largely unknown, but what is noteworthy is how readily some observers have rejected the defence's own account of what happened. They have concluded that these children were killed by an off force, not a task one.

"What was once called 'puermital insanity' - an extensive psychological disorder observed in women in the weeks or months after going birth - has been de-

sinected in medical journals and literature for hundreds of years.

In the book dangerous Motherhood: Insanity and Children's Victorian Britain professor Hilary National explores cases of puermial insanity and problems in the uplift country, telling the stories of for example, how Anderson who killed her seven-week-old baby in that. No, Anderson has grown birth seven times before, but after her last die became "an steady disturbed and insaneant"; believing that wild beasts would hunt for or night, the killed-her infant by slitting its throat, and the unnecessarily sent to an in-

In 1997, Elizabeth Barnwell observed her infant son in the Warwick and Napton Canal, after experiencing what a doctor described as "puermial mania" - correct. In her book, Mr. National notes the conscious among observers that Mr. Barnwell "was suffering from mental disengement resulting from her recent childhood," which was someday. Mr. Clancy's son, who had political concern at the time about the disease, cases of insaneal intractable. Mr. Barnwell's temporary

insanity plea nevertheless went undiagnosed, and she was sent to treatment at Warwick Asylum. This account shows above all the case with which the label of insanity could be accepted by women with and harms, judge, or witnesses, parvo, neighbours and the public. Mr. National wrote:

OBITUARIES

PATRICIA BAIRD

PHYSICIAN, ADMINISTRATOR, 88

SCIENTIST WAS A LEADER IN THE EVOLVING FIELD OF HUMAN GENETICS

In addition to leading Canada's Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies, the UBC professor served on the ethics committee for the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics and advised the World Health Organization

KIRSTY KIRKOP HEALTH REPORTER

In 1968, Patricia Baird did not know when she walked into an oral exam room for a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons fellowship, carrying a tiny baby.

Dr. Baird, who was breastfeeding at the time, thought nothing of bringing her two daughter Jennifer into this rigorous test. She wasn't the kind of person to ask for permission, nor offer apologies. Dr. Baird entered this room like she did many others in her 10 years of life, holding her own.

Her unrelenting spirit, say loved ones and friends, was the engine behind her scientific undertakings that saw her become a giant in the world of genetics: She is also remembered as a visionary leader. Dr. Baird died at her Vancouver home on Aug. 7, along with her husband.

When named an officer of the Order of Canada in 2000, she was commended for having devoted her life to the study of human genetics.

"I think that what always underpinned her research agenda was a real understanding of how this information was going to affect individual people and individual families," Jennifer Baird said of her late mother, who was a professional before becoming a distinguished scientist. "She kept seeing kids who individually she could help, but there were those themes to their health problems."

Dr. Baird was also lauded for her role as chair of the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies. She was appointed to the position by prime minister Brian Mahoney in 1989.

The royal commission ordinarily firstflood from thousands of Canadians and reviewed data from more than 200 researchers. Its mandate was to review current and potential medical developments related to new reproductive technologies.

In November, 1993, it published a 1,270-page report. Pressed with Care, that shaped federal regulation of reproductive technologies.

Its recommendations included prohibiting the commercialization of reproduction, including the sale of eggs and sperm.

"We conclude that government, as the guardian of the public interest, must act to put boundaries around the use of new reproductive technologies, and must put in place a system to manage them within those boundaries, not just for now, but,

equally important, in an ongoing way," the royal commission report said in its executive summary.

The commissioners also wrote that the government, on behalf of citizens, had "a responsibility to ensure that inappropriate and unethical use of technology is prohibited and that the procedures and supports necessary for informed decision-making are in place."

Dr. Baird held many other prominent roles, such as serving on the ethics committee for the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics and advising the World Health Organization.

She also chaired B.C.'s Council on Aging and Sennett Issues, producing a report in 2002.

Patricia has built was born on Oct. 6, 1927, in Lancashire, England, to Winifred and Harold Holt. She had a good relationship with her mother, but she had challenges with her father, who was very much the dominant person in the family, her wife said.

"He was not at all supportive of education," she said. "As an 8-year-old, she took charge of what she was going to do educationally."

Taking charge of her education involved enrolling on a test taken by 10-year-old students that determined what further education they could pursue.

Jennifer said her mother understood early on in life that to escape her family dynamics, she would need a good education. And then there was Patricia's "short girl."

She came a scholarship from a local girls' school where she had a couple of supportive teachers who helped her, Jennifer added.

"When her dad, a couple of years into it, tried to say 'Well, we're moving you're; just going to find a new school,' but teachers went to bat for her," she said.

"She just took a long bus ride every day. She went to university with no assistance from her parents."

Patricia moved to Canada at the age of 17 to attend McGill University, where she first obtained her bachelor of science and then completed medical school in 1983.

Taking her undergraduate education, she received assistance from one of her professors, Harold Roscoe. "Without her, my mom would have had a very difficult time supporting herself," Jennifer said.

After her Montreal-based studies, she headed to the West

Dr. Baird was able to foster trust by being transparent, close to her expectations and supportive, one colleague said. She was also a warm, strong person with many opinions and open to sharing guidance. (COUNTRY OF FAMILY)

Dr. Baird's research work unfolded in two phases, according to UBC.

The first focused on genetic epidemiology, including the prognosis for several birth defects and genetic diseases.

The second phase looked at the societal, ethical, and policy implications for genetic and reproductive technologies.

In 1984, she married Robert Baird, a surgeon, with whom she shared 16 years of marriage. They complemented one another. He was known to be parent in social settings while she was a more commonest, force. Together, they had three children: Jennifer, Brian and Bruce, all two years apart.

In 1995, she joined the faculty at the University of British Columbia medical school.

Dr. Baird's research work unfolded in two phases, according to UBC. The first focused on genetic epidemiology, including the prognosis for several birth defects and genetic diseases. The second phase looked at the societal, ethical, and policy implications for genetic and reproductive technology.

In 1997, she was appointed head of the department of medical genetics, becoming the first woman to lead a clinical department at UBC.

The university credits Dr. Baird for bolstering the department's one and prestige during her tenure, including by recruiting scientists Connie Eaves, Judy Hall and Michael Hayden.

Dr. Hayden was completing his postdoctoral studies at Harvard University when Dr. Baird made a successful case for him to move to UBC in the early 1980s.

"I said you without even consulting my wife," he said.

Dr. Baird was able to foster trust by being transparent, close to her expectations and supportive, Dr. Hayden said. She was also a warm, strong person with many opinions and open to sharing guidance.

"She was a great cheerleader," Dr. Hayden said.

UBC now offers The Patricia Baird Prize in her honour, awarding $1,000 to promising trainees who take on medical genetics research.

Along with being a generous mentor in her field, she was known for her hospitality.

The Bairds' held end-of-year parties where guests received sheets with song lyrics and were asked to sing along while someone played piano.

Dr. Baird's party prowess, perhaps, hinged on her excellent organizational skills. She was her daughter recalls, a "sports of lions."

Jennifer, now also a physician who enjoys a good list, said despite her mother's "fantastically accomplished" career, she maintained a successful marriage and close bonds with all of her kids.

They always felt their mom was a part of their lives.

"Neither side ever got compromised," Jennifer said, adding that her parents pulled equal amounts of weight at home.

"He had a huge respect for her and her work and valued her career just as much as fun," she said. "Having that equal partnership really made it work."

The Bairds were also passionate about travel, including trips to Palm Street, Calif.

John Finke, an acclaimed clinician-scientist and member of the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame, remembers Dr. Baird not only as a gifted geneticist and generous colleague. They worked together at UBC when he became the head of its Department of Medicine in 1976.

At 90, he fondly recalls how his family and the Bairds spent personal time together at their Vancouver homes and in Whistler, B.C. There, he recalls sharing laughter around a few. Dr. Baird had a strong sense of humour.

The Bairds also done 100 from many Dr. Baird.

It is perhaps unsurprising the outdoor enthusiasm decided their final moments would be on a patio at their Vancouver home, looking at English Bay on the Pacific Ocean.

Jennifer said medical assistance in dying had been on their order for some time. The prospect of being able to access it afforded both of them peace of mind in the face of medical challenges.

Patricia had Parkinson's disease for a decade. She also suffered a fall this year, sparing further health decline. At 94, Robert was very frail.

Both were adamant they didn't want to go to a care residence. Instead, they wanted to remain at home, but that was increasingly untenable.

On Aug. 7, after a dime with their children that included visiting a nearby beach and driving around Patricia's old UBC crumpling grounds, the family sat outside, enjoying six cream. The temperature was about 40 C.

Ball-stealing ravens. 24-hour daylight. The world's northernmost course is unlike anything you've seen before, Oliver Horovitz writes

Gary DiDonno walks the course at the Billy Jose Open in Uhshaktok, NWT. VLADIMIR MEDISTER/THE GLOBE AND MAIL

The first thing you notice in Uhshaktok, NWT, is that everyone waves.

Everyone. From passing ATVs. From trucks. From fishing boats and front yards. People wave at you and smile. They ask your name, then remember it for the rest of your trip. They wave because you're in their community and people here have helped each other for thousands of winters.

I'm waving as well right now, but to a

raven, and for separate reasons. I'm on the ninth hole of Uhshaktok Golf Course com- peting in the 40th Billy Jose Open and this raven has just stolen my ball.

I normally wouldn't mind (it's a free drop for raven theft), but the same bird just stole my previous ball, too. Someone recently found a raven's next opening ace golf balls. I drop another red Callaway to the ground. Around me, the tundra is green and yellow and dotted with hundreds of purple flowers called saailings that the community

turns into jams and teas. The afternoon light is a muted lavender and it's so quiet you only hear golf shots.

I try a few runner from 40 yards to the unrested green, finishing just short. Dale Ni- giyok, my playing partner, pitches to six feet, perfectly judging the mixed surface run-up as everyone here seems to do. As Dale waves to a friend, I look out over the land.

This is the world's most northern golf course. It's unlike anything I've ever seen. © GOLF, P4

SHOPPING GUIDE

Kitchen tiles

Does the perfect backsplash exist? Matthew Hague asks the experts

In any kitchen, the backsplash – the guard on the wall behind the sink or stove – might seem like a small design consideration. However, it has big implications. Like a quality brooch on a grey blazer or the one quality paint at an otherwise quiet dinner party, the surface can add colour and personality.

At the same time, it must also protect the wall from myriad threats, including slashing water, splattering grease and flying bits of food. A good one is durable and eye-catching, even years after it is installed. A bad one quickly looks like a Jackson Pullock painting rendered from culinary stains.

Complicating things, there are a silken backsplash materials to choose from (various metals, stores, ceramics, porcelain and moss). What's a style conscious look to do?

Judith Taylor, a Toronto-based interior designer, keeps the criteria simple: 'You want a material that is wipable, does not absorb moisture and is the retardant,' she says. 'I typically specify tile, stone or engineered quartz.'

For tiles, Taylor prefers Zollip, a hand-crafted terra cotta option from Morocco that is finished in a shiny, easy-to-drain glaze. Coming in many different colours and shapes (Taylor prefers rectangular subway tiles), each one tends to look a bit different.

'I like them because they add an artisanal note to a space that is otherwise filled with hard surfaces,' she says. 'The result is a kitchen that feels soft, layered, snuffed and timeless, rather than overly uniform or mate-produced.'

In terms of stone, Taylor likes marble, a somewhat controversial choice because it can stain – unless it is coated with an impregnable sealant. 'Homeowners are often hesitant to use marble,' she says. 'But I like to remind clients that people walk on marble in Europe. It ages beautifully with a nice patina. I love homes that age gracefully and don't look forever now.'

Melissa Maker, a house-cleaning influencer whose YouTube channel Clues My Space has a million subscribers, says the choice between tiles and stone depends on your priorities. 'Porcelain and ceramic. I find, are the easiest to maintain,' she says. 'Natural stone looks stunning, but the greasy splatters from cooking an intense meal don't hold up well to classic degreasers and abrasive cleansers. If your kitchen is more of a showpiece, don't worry as

much. But if it's a workhorse, choose a backsplash that can tolerate cleaning agents.'

For a stone durable marble: 'Alger,' an interior designer Jacquelyn Clark of Toronto's Lark & Green calls it, she says. So an engineered quartz – stone that has been crushed and compressed into something extremely dense – from Canadian company Mantleone. The material, which comes in large slabs (up to rocket long and fire feet high), has the veining of marble without the porosity.

'I used Mantleone's Materials to my own kitchen,' she says, referring to a pearl-timed, veined pattern. 'It's a breeze to drain and maintain because the slab is solid – no great lines.'

Driawa interior designer Tanya Collins likes a great-low backsplash for its drum-lined, minimalist quality. She points out, however, that great stuff is not the enemy. 'With new stain-resistant grease,' she says, 'the cleaning process has improved significantly.' Epoxy-based grease such as Major's Kempster (12 cm popular for their durability).

In terms of backsplash materials, Collins would like more people to consider copper. The cost can be a drawback – the metal is more expensive than porcelain or ceramic – but the installation is comparable and the metal has unique properties. 'It adds a beautiful warmth as it patinas and is naturally antimicrobial, unlike stainless steel or plastic.'

Ryan Boehm trans backsplash Decor Inc., a company based in Kitchener, Ont., that specializes in backsplash installations. He has worked with many different materials and notes that it is best to have a 15 per cent surplus of the finish you are using to account for any potential wastage. In his experience, porcelain tends to be highly durable (and can come in slabs as large as pre-engineered quartz).

Glare, however, is perhaps best avoided. 'It scratches easily,' he says. 'It only comes in a few different colours – even white glass has a blue/green tint. These days, I'm removing a lot of glass rather than installing it.'

Also on the 'net' list is wood, which some design publications are calling a wood. Boehm says it is 'fine for a cabin, I suppose, but not good around moisture or anywhere near a stove.'

SIX BUYS TO TRY

Here are some durable, low-maintenance options that add character to a kitchen

Produced by Quebec-based Smart Tiles, Vintage Augusta tiles have the look of old-fashioned, Mediterranean ceramics, but are in fact made from a synthetic, heat- and moisture-resistant material. Their past and strict healing means they can be applied without grout and removed from a wall quickly, making them ideal for workers. $0 a file. Available through the smart tiles.com.

Dakhon's backsplashes, made in Spain, look like solid slabs of stone, but are compounded made of compressed porcelain and other materials. The surfaces stand up to high heat, moisture, deep and dusty, and come in large formula (up to 10 feet by 4.5 feet) as they can be installed without grout. The new Artik Nodak line was inspired by Arctic land scapes, including glacial shades of white. Price upon request! Available through rozentine.com.

Earthwork's terra cotta tiles, handmade in Edmonton, have a rich, red surface with a certain Mediterranean warmth. The thick ceramic is hard and durable, but because the ceramics are unplaced, they must be finished with a sealant to prevent staining. $30 a square foot. Available through geontite.com.

Copper has a low advantages as a backsplash. It is naturally anti-microbial, which helps cut down on germs, and resists corrosion. The colour can either pithia over time or stay with the same with regular polishing. These hammered copper tiles are made from recycled metal and are also recyclable, minimizing their environmental impact. $275 a square foot. Available through rena.ca.

Zollip tiles are terra cotta ceramics from Morocco. Because they are handmade, each one is slightly different, with uneven edges and variations in colour. The glazed surface, however, is easy to wipe down. $10 a square foot. Available through clover-tile.com.

Maritime's engineered backsplashes, manufactured in London, Ont., have the appearance of natural stone. Their quartz collection offers the waning and subtle colour variations of marble with a surface that is non-persus and won't pithia over time. Prices vary depending on installation. Available through hantonee.ca.

HOW WE EAT

Guava

The sweet and tangy fruit makes for a tropical twist on a classic dessert

JULIE VAN ROSENDAAL

Tropical flavours have been popular this year, and while we have plenty of fruits coming into season in Canada, the unique sweet tart, floral flavour of guava, native to Central and South America, is wonderful in everything from summery drinks and cocktails to sauces, salads, preserves and desserts.

Guava is available both fresh and frozen, its flesh, ranging from creamy white to antique pink to peachy watermelon, is rich in pectin, making it an ideal base for jams and jellies – on its own or combined with other fruit – as well as goulouda or guava paste, a thick, chewy crab/citrus similar to pastes made from quinoa. Guava paste can be eaten on its own or rolled in sugar and food-grade citrus acid for sour gummy candies, and is a delicious way to preserve guava for fall and winter cheese boards. Guava is also a perfect pastry for crisp-shore maringue and whipped cream, named for the famous British boarding school. Earn more is essentially a deconstructed potions. You could turn these same ingredients into a potions by shaping the maringue into a large root (or several smaller roots) before baking it. Then filling with card, topping with cream and more fresh guava or other seasonal fruit, such as cherries, peaches or plums. Either version is summery and simple to make ahead and assemble when you need it.

JULIE VAN ROSENDAAL/THE GLOBE AND WALL

GUAVIA ETON MESS

Guava used makes use of the yolks left over from the maringue, but you could as easily layer macerated (tossed with sugar) guava, or guava simmered with sugar into a thick compote.

MERINGUES:

5k cup sugar

1 tsp cornstarch

4 cigs whites

1 tsp vanilla

GUAVIA CORD:

5k cup green purée

(from about 1 cup rolled fresh or frozen guava)

4 cigs yolks

5k cup sugar

juice of half a lemon (about 1 tbsp)

5k cup butter

a few drops red food colouring (optional)

15 cups whipping cream

1/2 cups icing sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the sugar and cornstarch to get rid of any lumps. In a large, clean glass or stainless steel bowl, heat the egg whites until very frozen, and the heaters start to leave tight. Gradually add the sugar mixture, heating constantly, until all the sugar is incorporated and the egg whites stand in stiff peaks. Heat in the vanilla.

Drop the maringue in big spoonfuls on a parchment lined sheet and bake the sheet an hour, until dry and very harsh golden. Let cool completely on the sheet.

To make the card, whisk together the guava paste. Dilute fresh or thawed frozen guava with a hand held immersion blended, egg dried, sugar and lemon juice and set over medium high heat. Bring to a simmer, whisking often, until the mixture bubbles and thickness. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. If you like – if the card has become too peach-coloured from the yolks and butter – whisk in a few drops of red food colouring to shrink it. Pour into a container or bowl and cool completely, then chill.

When you're ready to assemble your firm mess, whip the cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Break the maringues into pieces and assemble on a serving platter or layer in the bottom of a trifle bowl or individual glasses, layer with guava card, whipped cream, more maringue, more guava and more cream. Garnish, if you like, with more fresh guava and/or sprays of fresh mint, leaves about it.

Refined and reopened

A Vancouver Island winery aims to attract visitors with an elevated food and wine experience

CHRISTOPHER

MATHIS

MASTERS ON WINE

Repressed by the quality and domesticness of the wines produced from Vancouver Island's coastal vineyards, Barbara Raible, chairman and proprietor of Jackson Family Wines, and her daughter Julia Jackson bought Unsworth from the Taryk family six years ago. Since then, they have expanded production and enhanced the visitor experience as the Mill Run winery.

Last year, updates were completed to the winery and collar – which now has separate halls for red and white wine and redesigned crush pud – and tasting room and adjacent pubs.

The final improvement is the reopening of The Restaurant at Unsworth after extensive innovations. Located in the early-tooce farmhouse on the property, the new space has seating for 24 people indoors and 12 pubs with space for an additional 30 guests, wealthy partaking, typically from the long weekend in May to Thanksgiving.

Chen Taryk, the son of original owners Tim and Colleen Taryk, and Unsworth's current sales and marketing director, explains the new design works to blend the indoor and outdoor spaces. "The windows open with no every table inside has a view to the world," he says.

"An extensive who helped build this business, I'm extremely proud of what they have done. The at-

tention to detail is very high."

The Unsworth winery operates independently of the Jackson family's extensive portfolio of wineries, which includes acclaimed properties in California, Bordeaux and Tuscany. It was a private purchase. However, the family's larger company is naturally influencing the new direction.

For instance, the restaurant's farm-to-table menu is inspired by the culinary program at Kendall Jackson, the family's popular winery in Santa Rosa, Calif. An extensive on-site garden provides Unsworth's chefs with seasonal produce for menu planning.

"They want to establish a similar food and wine experience here," Taryk explains.

Dysters are also a key feature of the expanded menu, with a wine and oyster flight available alongside a seasonal selection served one or roasted. In that way, they are sure to be complemented by the Prosecco-inspired Champs de Lèbe, a regionally specific sparkling wine produced by Unsworth and other Cowdrain Valley wineries.

Open daily for lunch and dinner all year round, the restaurant hopes to become a destination restaurant for residents of Victoria, which is a 20-minute drive, and to be embraced by the 30,000 people living in the Cowdrain Valley.

Julia Jackson and other normal- and third-generation members of the California-based winemaking clan purchased Blue Groves, one of the island's oldest vineyards, located in Duncan, in Beaumont, Ont.

There are 19 wineries operating on Vancouver Island that take advantage of the long, cool growing season to produce a range of red, white and sparkling wines from more than 60 different grape varieties. The mild climate with especially well for pinot nuts and pinot gin, which are widely planted as well as rhodesnuts and aromatic varieties, such as orings and sugars.

This week's featured recommendations include two different takes on Vancouver Island's unique sparkling wine label, Champs de Lèbe, from Unsworth and Blue Groves, alongside three other wines made in British Columbia.

Special to The Globe and Mail

Since purchasing the Unsworth Vineyards in 2026, Jackson Family Wines proprietor Barbara Raible and her daughter Julia Jackson have expanded production and enhanced the native wineries at the University of New York, and the company of the extensively associated The Restaurant at Unsworth was inspired by the farm-to-table culinary program at the Family's Kendall Jackson winery in Santa Rosa, Calif.

Golf: Tournament spans 27 holes over the course of three days

FRIDAY F3

Ulakhaktok (pronounced ooh lock-back-lock) is an Inuvadut community of 450 people in the High Arctic of the Northwest Territories.

It is 2,000 kilometres north of Calgary. So far north that in summer, it is light out for 24 hours a day. In winter, there is 24-hour darkness, with 40-C temperatures.

ATVs and snowmobiles of outside houses raised on wooden blocks above the permafrost. Fishing boats fill the pebbled beach. The roads are gravel and the language is English and Inuanuapian. Although there are two grocery stores – the Northern and the Co-op – community members hunt and fish for extra food, as they've done for thousands of years.

And then is golf. For a game born in St. Andrews, Scotland, it's fitting that golf came to Ulakhaktok via a host. Billy Joes, a Hudson's Bay Company manager from Altermore, was transferred to Ulakhaktok from Read Island in 1981, to manage the BBC store that later became the Northern. He brought his golf clubs. The community noticed.

"My first memory of golf is being six or seven years old and watching Billy hitting balls out on frozen Kings Bay," says Eddie Okhenta, now 68, a repeat winner of the Billy Joes Open and one of its extended family members who golf. "Billy painted his balls out with nail polish so he could see them on the ice."

Joes taught others in the community to play. In 1981, two years after his death, the Ulakhaktok Golf Course was built on the tundra. Three holes with sand greens, so minutes from town. The northernmost course in the world. The track was expanded to nine holes in split by then-mematon director Tony Kalhotry and an existing tournament was renamed the Billy Joes Open.

After the course expanded, the game took off. "Everyone played, probably a third of the community," says Gary Okhenta, Eddie's nephew. "All my friends played." To this day, golfers start their

scissors early. "In the spring, while we're hunting quite ducks on the ice, we take a five-iron and fat shotgun shells to pass the time," Gary explains. Adds Vincent Alonak, "He take an eight-iron to our caribou hunting camp, too, and make a four-hole course for a couple weeks."

As golf grew in Ulakhaktok, so did the tournament. Celebrities accepted invites to come play. NRL players. Olympians. This year, as players – mostly locals – are competing in the 40th Billy Joes Open. They arrive on ATVs, golf clubs bragers, strapped to front panels. Everyone plays in jeans and bondies, their swings carved from hours of watching Golf Channel and YouTube and hitting used shotgun shells on ice.

The tournament is 27 holes, held over three days in July – the same weekend as the Open Championship at England's Royal Birkdale. It's why I've flown from New York to Toronto and grabbed a five-hour Air North flight to Yellowknife, then a two-hour propeller plane ride up to Ulakhaktok.

"Everybody's no friendly foes," says Curtis Ranksland, Ulakhaktok's boot golfer, before taxing

off on the first hole. "Everyone encourages one another to do well. It just feels like a big family tournament."

On summer nights, the community hunts.

At 10 p.m., after the first round, I stroll beside Queens Bay in broad daylight. ATVs buzz by. Families wore as they pull loose fishing boats. Teenagers play basketball. A five-year-old rules her bite.

Another endless summer night, with no bedtime in sight. It's also the height of the Arctic that run, with lots to be done. Hall of today's golfers are out fishing.

I greet a father and son cutting arctic char on school desks in their front yard.

"We caught 12 char today," the son says, smiling. He speaks slowly and gently. "What brings you to Ulakhaktok?" the father asks.

"I'm playing in the 1980." I reply, which draws happy souls. "As is my brother, David," the father says. What a way to meet a community.

Mary Kudlak is living homesite.

The key user-old elder, wearing red hat boots and a purple knit hat, traditional salmon on her face, handles over her line near the hills green.

She drove her ATV three hours to get here, then promptly began trying anise that and homesite like a triathlete moving from ooms to hills segments.

“Bendian there’s homesite,” Mary calls to the tournament’s youngest player, and the 14-year-old man over for breakfast. This is the best snack bar in golf.

Mary now tries anise that holds strong coffee and cooks, umbrae more with carrots and onions, plus homesite stalled to a delicious golden brown.

Another older, Rose Wigink, then a chevy and potatoes with an ale, a traditional curved knife for whole Ulakhaksie is named in businessman, Ulakhaksie means “the place where ale parts are found.”

She does happen each tournament day, not by elders and volunteers. A crowd of 20 golfers around are not only a location, but a lot of women. Mary will drive her ATV to our callers to give my photographers and my politics as goodbye presents. Rose will help us, “I love you both.”

Now golfers coming off the fifth and ninth greens now may be relentless. Everywhere, Mary. This is life here. This is community. This is Mary’s kitchen, and we’re just living in it.

Mary and Rose and the other elders are revered in Ulakhaksie. They are the knowledge thrilled of the community. On my last day in town, Mary will drive her ATV to our callers to give my photographers and my politics as goodbye presents. Rose will help us, “I love you both.”

Ulakhaksie Golf Course is short (a pair of 4 caps packs) but the priority today. The greens are tiny and the rocks send balls in all directions.

“It’s a game of luck on this tundra,” Brendan Katsveld tells me.

On the seventh hole, Tony Kalinsky, who had four balls swiles by seven yesterday, hits a shot to two feet. “Is this a game?” he asks, then laughs. “On this course, nothing’s a game.”

In my first two rounds, despite being a former 14 handicap, I shoot at 2 and at Ulakhaksie’s golfers are lagging for. Curtis Randaland opens with 15 and 16. Gary Olbrama shoots a vander 15 in the second round, tying the course record. Ankuling a hole out on the sixth from 100 yards.

These are the golfing powerhouses of Ulakhaksie, Curtis, Gary and Brendan. Dale Wigink and Vincent Akmak. Nathan Olbrama.

On any other course, they’d be scratch golfers, but they know these holes like their elders know the land, having fizzed five times through the summer nights of their youth.

Curtis Randaland, 19, wins the 2018 Bally loss Open. Second people pack the community half on the award ceremony – a co-ordinator, United Agricultural Smiles’ Recreation director Gayle Diaz announces the prizes (the top prize is three, plus a trophy). Marge Aboulson wins the women’s division, Colin Olbrama beats his brother Eddie for the Masters division, Curlin Akmak wins the passes.

I realize I know almost everyone here. As the ceremony ends, you are like from the hall, Mary walks up to me.

“Our family is down at Kings Rep,” she says. “You should come.”

You don’t say no to Mary. I head to the beach in the silver daylight. It’s time of 6:45 at night. But 20 family members are working on the shore. Fishing. Featuring boat during sanded char with syrup. Elders and toddlers and everyone between.

I watch, deeply moved by what I’ve experienced in this community. Mary’s most sure are, perhaps winning what I feel. “You know, my dad had a saying,” she says. “There are no strangers, only friends you haven’t yet met.”

She turns to a passing boat, with golfer Eddie Olbrama heading out to fish.

And she waves.

Calvet Revsholoke is planning for a grand opening in 2027, likely on Canada Bay.

Playing to win

Canadian golf is heading toward some exciting new developments, Adam Stanley writes

“If Mingze – one of Canada’s leading golf course architects – is working on the first win, original golf course design, a forthcoming Nova Scotia course that is part of a new wave of golf development across the country.

“For the first time in 35 years, people are seeing golf as a profitable investment, which is astonishing to me. We can build courses or we can renovate courses,” Mingze says. “It was always a risk, but more people seem to be taking the risk – what’s in great.”

Mingze’s new and 20-year-annual course will be built on an old gravel mine halfway between Halifax and Waterloo, and 20 minutes to the city of Islip. The property is surrounded by foothold hills and blueberry fields. River Phelps run through a Construction on the public course to under way with a big financial investment from Nova Scotia Blueberry billionaire John Bragg, the founder of Oxford Forum Foods, and is likely to open in 2027.

Mingze, who is based in Toronto, says in the quarter-century Rev’s born in business there have been three cycles to view golf course builds in Canada. The first coincided with buzz around Tiger Woods at the park of his powers in the late 1900s. While that building boom shot down quickly down 1/3, it picked right back up as Woods sustained his greatness for another decade. In 2007, there was the financial crash, and everything stopped again. The 2007 during the COVID-19 pandemic, when golf was a solo outdoor option for groups, participated in the sport once again boomed.

And it hasn’t dropped since. Golf Canada reported a different line on that 14 million people participated in a “golf activity” in 2026. The country is home to 2,000 courses and 20 per cent are open to the public. Most Canadians are playing more golf than ever before.

On a parallel path to the growth in participation numbers is plenty of excitement around new courses, renovations to existing layouts and expansions of well-known properties.

“We have so many different types of environments for golf – from Calvet to Hard to Jasper to Moor Tremblant. There are so many options,” Mingze says. “It’s one of the most diverse places to play golf on Earth, 7-8 say.”

One of the most anticipated courses is Calvet Revsholoke, which is planning for a grand opening in 2027, likely next Canada Bay. The R.C. course will be the second Calvet property in Canada.

The R.C. and 2,000 courses with Ulakhaksie golf courses in Saint Lucia, Scotland, France and Florida, all stand on the late Cape Breton mining tour of Inverness, N.Y., where Calvet Links first came to worldwide acclaim.

It was now continue by its neighbouring course Calvet Cliffs, part of the same resort. When Calvet Cliffs opened a decade ago to win the first – and only – course to make its debut on 10,000 Golf Magazines. Top 100 golf courses in Canada list at 16s. The most ranking was goldshock in late July with Calvet Cliffs remaining in the top spot, while Calvet Links is ranked No. 1.

Revsholoke is now “running up,” according to Calvet – co-founder Ben Cowan-Dewar. Designed by Bud Whitman, who also designed Calvet Links in Cape Breton (with Mingze alongside), the R.C. course is set above the Columbia River valley.

The Revsholoke course was always going to be a challenge. Cowan-Dewar noted: “I called Red from the site thinking mostly mountain golf had not been great. It was too severe. The land was on the side of a cliff. It was tough to make it walkable. Tough to make it great,” he said.

“I’ve given him an opportunity to do something in the mountains up against itself and larger golf courses, and I couldn’t be more proud of what he’s created.”

Calvet Revsholoke is an in-hole champion, who has taken golf courses in Saint Lucia, Scotland, France and Florida, all stand on the late Cape Breton mining tour of Inverness, N.Y., where Calvet Links first came to worldwide acclaim.

A sampling of what’s to come in Canada

Top: TPC Toronto at Duprey Valley at Caledon, Ont. Middle: The Hard’s Resort in the Embryo, N.Y. Above: Golf Calvet Cliffs Off The Deck in Inverness, N.Y. (MICHAEL KELLY/GETTY WALES (TOP))

In Ontario, the Talese Resort in Manitoba is getting a total overhead with new golf offerings from the Australia-based firm GVA, led by golf major champion Geoff Ogilvy. But of Quemo Golf and Country Club, just outside Prince Edward County, started another 14 holes this year and is now a private facility. TPC Toronto at Duprey Valley overhauled its facility as it prepares the arrival of the KFC Canadian Open in June.

In Quebec, barely 20 minutes from downtown Quebec City, is a Temple Golf Club, which also just added another brand new in hole in the 2000s.

In Nova Scotia, the spectacular Fox Hard’s Resort is according to golf offerings to have 10 holes along the ocean and 10 holes meandering through its vineyard. This year, nine holes from each course are open to play. It’s some of the most delightful occasions (and for golf in Canada).

On Prince Edward Island, a new 10 hole layout is in the words: Kim Tucker, the landowner, is set to design the course himself on a cliff near Waterloo for on the northern shore just across nine from the island’s top-ranked course, The Links at Crowbank Cove, Waterville, PEI businesses in the North through the owner of McNair or Resort, put a proposal for a new in-hole course, designed for Doug Carrick, in front of turnoverside City Council, with hopes of building along Walpingo Bay and opening in 2018.

Harris notes Canada cannot support the “megalopolis-style resort.” Found in the United States LaSalle, plenty of the country’s top-shots are within shearing distance of major cities or even in cultural parks, such as Highlands Links in Nova Scotia, Waterloo, and New Albany National Park, task, Clear Lake in Riding Mountain National Park, N.Y., and Waterloo Lakes Golf Course in Alberta.

No matter if you’re looking a course for the first time or returning to an old faithful, adventurous golfers will find that the lands upon Canadian golf courses are laid across are what make them special.

“It’s just such an amazing country with such amazing physical geography. That diversity gives way to so many opportunities,” Cowan-Dewar says.

REAL TALK

How do I end a friendship?

A therapist offers advice to a reader who seeks to walk away from a friendship that feels like a chore

Real Talk is a relationship advice column featuring questions from readers and answers from experts. Some details may be changed to protect the privacy of the people justified. It is not a substitute for seeking professional psychological or medical advice.

OUR READER KATH FROM TORONTO MERCH

There is a person in my life that I don't want to be friends with any more. In the beginning, it didn't bother me that there were many ways in which we were different. However, over the last few years, I've realized I don't feel happy after we've spent time together. She doesn't understand me and she is a bad listener. Sykedgingly her on the phone feels like a chore to get away with.

I have shifted from other friendships from lack of contact, but never with emotionality, and I worry this might not be a very nice thing to do.

However, it feels less mean than going out if my way to tell her I want to end this friendship. My gut tells me the relationship has run no course, but I feel guilty. How do I handle this?

ILLUSTRATION BY SEBASTIAN THROAST

FROM THE THERAPIST:

Samantha Gordon, registered psychotherapist and founder of Judy's Toronto Therapy

Ending a friendship is never an easy thing. It's something many people experience, and yet, it's rarely talked about. While we often hear about the end of romantic relationships, friendships can be just as meaningful, and ending one can bring up many of the same emotions.

You seem torn between two options. A loving the friendship to fade naturally or having a direct conversation. Before dancing which path feels right, I encourage you to tent understand what your guilt may be trying to tell you.

Gait is a complex emotion involving feelings of responsibility, blame and remorse. It often arises when we believe we have done something wrong or falter short of our own values. But like any emotion, guilt is neither good nor bad. It can encourage us to reflect on our actions, but it is not always an accurate indicator that we have done something wrong.

If you notice guilt when your friend calls, pause and ask yourself what thoughts and emotions are present. Do you feel resentful? Distress? (Unimportant)

Disappointed? The more specific you can be about what you're feeling, the more information those emotions can provide.

Next, ask yourself whether your guilt is connected to a real offence or an imagined one. Have you acted against your values or are you assuming you have? Sometimes, cognitive distortions can make imagining offences feel very real. For example, "If I don't answer the phone, I'm a bad friend," is that a fact or an opinion?

Another common distortion is emotional reasoning. "I feel like a terrible person, therefore I must be a terrible person." Our emotions provide valuable information, but they are not always evidence. Taking time to separate facts from feelings can help you decide whether your guilt reflects your values or your fears.

You mentioned that it feels "less mean" to stop responding than to tell your friend you no longer want to be friends. That tells me you've already considered how your decision may affect her. Rather than asking which option looks less mean, I wonder if it would be more helpful to ask which option you've contacted with your values. There isn't one right way for every friendship to end. Some friendships naturally fade over time, while others benefit

from an honest conversation, particularly when the other person is likely to be confused or hurt by a sudden change. The goal isn't to choose the option that eliminates guilt. The goal is to choose the one that best reflects the kind of friend and person you want to be.

Even after you've made your decision, feelings of guilt may still arise. Healthy boundaries often disappoint other people, but their disappointment does not automatically mean your boundary was wrong. If guilt lingers, ask yourself: What are the healthy reasons I'm making this decision? What are the costs of not making it? What would I tell a friend in my position?

You cannot make everyone happy all the time, and trying to do so often comes at the expense of your own well-being. Learning to tolerate the discomfort that sometimes accompanies healthy boundaries is a skill that becomes easier with practice. Over time, the goal is not to eliminate guilt altogether, but to recognize when it deserves your attention and when it doesn't.

North dealer. Both sales vulnerable.

The holding

North East South West 1 [1] Pass (N) Pass 2 [4] Pass (N) Opening Lead – jack of clubs.

NORTH

▲ K 8.3 ▼ K 74.2 ▲ Q 3.4 ▲ K 6.5

WEST EAST ▲ 10.5 ▲ Q 17.4.2 ▼ Q 10.8 ▼ ▲ V 16.2 ▲ 8.5.3 ▲ 3 10.9.8 ▲ Q 4.3.2

SOUTH

▲ 8.9.6 ▼ K 19.9.3 ▲ A K 10 ▲ 8.7

It is a basic principle of declarer play that when a common can be made only if the opponents can be divided in a common way, declarer should assume that distribution exists and proceed accordingly.

Take this case where West leads a club against six hearts. When dummy appears, declarer sees that the team essentially depends on whether or not he can avoid losing a trumpet stick.

There is no good reason not to tackle the trumpet suit right away, so South wins the club with the ass, leads a low heart to the ass and a heart back. When East shows out, South learns that a

trump loser is inevitable. So he takes the king and must now turn his attention to the problem of how to avoid losing a spade trick.

The task looks impossible, but if South applies the determination principle, he can get home easily. He starts by leading a club to the king, rufle a club, then cades his three diamond tricks and the A-K of spades.

All three preliminary maneuvers are geared to the hope that West started with no more than two spades, in which case the days are becknall. And happens, this hope manuminous, because

the position after the first to tricks have been played in:

North ▲ 9 ▼ 7 6

West East ▼ Q 4 Q 2 ▼ V ▲ Q South ▲ 9 ▼ 2

When declarer now leads a trumpet, putting West on lead, South's spade loser vanishes into thin air.

THE CULTURAL INTEL

What to watch this weekend

My Brilliant Career is one of the best new shows this summer's Lantmens, less so

A KILIP NEITHUOR

My Brilliant Career RETIRED

This vibrant new so-part adaptation of Australian writer Mike Franklin's turn novel of the same name is truly dainty from TV.

See the stories of the last company in rural Australia, it follows quickly: Yehilla McVey (Philippa Northern) (as she is shipped off) is a rich grandmother to marry into society and stabilize the family's fortunes. "I'm being graced up, straightened out and slowly came close the girl of property," is how the world to write you is in, not to back to her impoverished sister.

My Brilliant Care is extremely proud drama in the vain of Netflix's Bolgarian or Apple TV's The Successors - inclusivity cast and interspersed with just century songs (from the York State Trade to Not Up), that the writing is of an ironic and unselfish brother-sunny set to break out as Australia's next big star - with an aptitude for comedy reminiscent of how fierce.

The first two years' returner candour theory is beautiful in mourned by Christopher Cheung, a took on less time than expected to begin about 1600s life, the go-to social, and heartfelt author by Egiys on How Brave, his avianage saturated with youth-focused romance. My Brilliant Career is worth watching even for those swooned out.

Time magazine just published a bit of the in most underrepresented, and I'm not going to see a library and play at the top was this ever - CBS Netflix - numerous hoard on Margaret Atwood's casts novel, written by Sarah Kerr, and absolutely Mary Harron."

"Bite, so the time was alphabetical. But it nevertheless seems a good reason to remind readers that this stand-out album is a rich century Type Canada is still on Earth."

ter study of the self-proclaimed "ultimated manliness" Grace Mark, played by Sarah Gable with a momentarily new of fragility and friceness. Years after the killings of her employer and his marines, a psychiatrist (Adwold McLeod) tries to untangle her exact involvement in their deaths.

"Pat The Huckman's fair out of your mind," The Globe and Mail's John Deyle wrote upon its premiere. "If you were organising that show's high-value maneuvers among the immediate cultural impact, they aren't there. What's there is an ambitious, but flawed, drama about a bounden female soul and, truthfully, you cannot take your own off her as she evades the truth."

A God Is HAND VIDEO

When Aleshea Hamro's work play about Mark National looks fun - one and Ames on a mission to kill their father across the American South. Her perspective on stage, critics often composed it to films rather than other theatre - that big aspects of Spaghetti Western and playthouse in its dramatic language.

A screen adaptation seemed

insoluble: Reviewing the movie starring Kate Young, Malled Johnson and Nuttagh, R. Brown for The Globe and Mail, Sarah De Mark made it a Critics' Pub. "A paltry revenge thriller perhaps too easily comparable to the hypocritical, self-cuescious formal swagger of filmmakers such as Charette Tarantino or Martin McDougall, Ryan's (yothic) drumpup as a Messymoor developed than either director." They wrote: "Newspaperist/tech dynamic use of form and style as a movie for testimony and cultural specificity rather than the cool pootizing and detached aesthetic process, two of her cinematic forebears."

Lantness CRAIG

I'm not wild about superhero-fans masquerading as prestige tolerances colonising the space once-covered for adult entertainment on HBO Sunday nights.

Nevertheless, I was hooked by the first episode of Lantness - which puts two Green Lantmens - a setting and scenario, designed to make money up memories of True Detector.

John Brown (Aaron Parrot) and Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler)

play good intergalactic cup had intragalactic cup as they invest: gain already shooting at a football stadium in small town for breaks.

The motive for the mundane may be, literally, out of this world - but the Lantness spend most on their time on foot at ranches, lonely diners and country bars. A mysterious moved to well-irrigated and the performances are entic-

Alas, the world-building of the show gets shopped over the next few episodes and has serious creeps in. Style is gradually expected as only 50% 95% do these two protagonists spend so much time driving around on a intense highways when they have a growing green ring that can make them fit - or all years any other vehicle they might need?

The Green Lantens mythos is too poorly to be grounded no matter how much shooting or not is added in. Fifteen HBO had hired co-creator Thomas Lindahl to make another scene of Northern musical.

Diffender APRIL 2

A new season of this animated

series is a retrotypist as parents of preschoolers here reached both the end of August and their parents with five friends.

"This Puddled Award-winning show concerns three suburbanists: siblings named Michael, Addy and Earl who live next to a grand-named Stillwater - a master of mindfulness who helps them understand and calm their anxieties and fears.

At the first new episode (now streaming), Karl, the youngest, has his feelings hurt when he is at the store. Addy takes a break from playing with him to read a book in the second. Addy can't solve an electronic puzzle at the same speed as her younger brother, and becomes frustrated with her brain.

Stillwater has stories for both that help them understand energy levels and reasonableness: They felt geared directly toward challenges for two youngsters in my household have struggled with this summer - and immediately moved earlier in our family discussions. Stillwater can soon slow and debacle to adults - to set an all-ups empathy-building entertainment like Riley - but it's a soothing alternative to other overshending, empty shows.

Sterling Point is one of summer's most talked about shows

JOHANNA COONELLER THE GLOBE NETWORK

Sterling Point, the Prime series that Megan Park is one of the most well known shows at group of teenagers in Ontario - ratings country-strong in the 1980s - coming-of-age summers. And only those streamings to watch from Park and I get on a table call together, but the most of them dreamed together about it. the Chord feast in particular had been Halford "iconic."

If you've watched the show, you know the moment (like Jacob Whitehead Carter), a total who works as a pilot and/or drama at his father's reunion, and Annie (Ella Rubio), the privileged New Yorker who's uncovering a family secret in Lake Mankoka, are sitting opposite out another home in the country, water-scented storage closet, when Ella reaches out - left hand behind Annie's right here, right hand on her waist, their eye behind - and the other two are the two's tents. They've been quietly crazy about each other for seven episodes, but this is the first time so that's has made a move. The movement gets in it ends not with a bus, but a long bus can persuade it to be a "silly" and "silly" to be a "silly" in general the Earth, followed by the club of a million-owned host who's been trying around the Earth, followed by the club of a million-owned host who's being pressed to watch it again.

With the hand of authentic-looking interaction that viewers love to call "improvised," when in fact it and everything people are involved over the series are a direct result of Park's work ethic, powers of observation and contentment. The show is often dreamed up the scissors, in which Annie and her team brother, Connor (Kern Buffalo, son of

actor Mark Balliol) are bequeathed in blood by an estranged grandfather. She created three characters, as well as Karena (Amelia Roubich), a guarded but deep-finding feud raised by her grandfather who turns out to be the half-enter Annie didn't know the fact. Kory (Turing Quinn-Trey), one of Mankoka's enemies at the Net Lord, from the Bagassot, a British-hercept with a tan mother, and Mark (Mabel Stockton), a little boy, from younger sister Park crafted the latter promise - that growing up and fooling out of control can be his job, but also exciting - and developed its layered relationships, both straight and spun the worst the finest, naturalistic dialogue that gives the characters out ways: The star, a winning group of young actors and their life - gap - adjective their past.

"I'm shocked that more directors don't collaborate that way," Park, who was born in Lindsey, Ont., and turned up in July, says no one call. The man is streaming into her home office outside Toronto, she's wearing a white suit and he has been a friend's house; and she's keeping slightly because she broke her leg toe at her sister premises in New York, then trained her and also a work kit or picking-up one of her two children: "Made's 18-bag-herens in the world, and it will've the best Netflix Print memories," she recalls. (She and her children's father, actor and musician Tyler Milton, the overall film goal January.)

Bank where Park was a young actor, in films and series including Charlie Bartlett and The Secret Life of the American Teenager, "no one would ever ask me, 'Now Megan, how would you sit in this scene?'" she says. "It was just '50 years near this one kind,'" But in Sterling Point said in the two films she wrote and directed, 'The first (not (1/22) and My OSE do (1/22).'

I think Gen Z see the world through a different film. They've experienced more upheaval and uncertainty than I ever felt, and come out the other wide kindler, but also craving being off the goal.

MELAN PARK WINTER DIRECTOR

the actors and I discuss a scene. I film the scripted take, and then I ask what they'd do. It's the only way to get the authenticity I want to capture.

In when her producers offered Park and on-screen half-sense Rabin and Hoelzick two hours of rehearsal time in a conference room, Park metacallad is doodle where the Black-blazed stories from their childhood. When her cast created music playlists for their characters, Park listened to them, to help her get inside their heads. She'd observe how Rabin and Hoelzick would straight be, not a take, building each other's hair, and their incorporation that into the scene. And when Rabin asked how she should get across that closet from Mrs Whitehead, Connor comes Park and her director of photography, Kristen Croft, huddled in the space with them and figured in us.

Park had never written television before, but her co-downtunson, Stephanie Savage and Mark Edwards, had started two Young Adult Classics, The OC, and Google Cut. "The structure of those stories, or Answers Orish or Our Tour

Bill, they're similar in the way they show you in, with how changes and mysteries," Park says. "These satire characters me search of answers. At first I was scared. Now do I just show respect through the voice I want this show to have!"

Her answer lay in her characters. "They come into my mind fully formed, and then it's about review engineering situations to fit them," Park says. "Maybe to us, they can't be awakened to the other, what would those be?" Getting her period another month is a summer by the club, the August driver or days - shortening. The teenage actor of being nostalgic for a movie more even as you're living it, and that gutted feeling when you realize that you're maybe not who you. Because you were just as you're about to enter a cast, unknown adulthood, the known how to shoot teenagers watching favorable over the water, plain or sound another film project - she understands the phone of a heady wake and the romantic slap of an old woman door.

For written before that, for me, the truest drama comes from people who are struggling to get the world, and they love that too, she finds straight-up villains and and instead gives every character their colours. But mainly,

she knows that teenagers are people, and treats them with respect.

I'm a Millennial and honestly, my teenage years were a lot like Mean Girls," Park says. "I think Gen Z see the world through a different line. They've experienced more upheavals and uncertainty than I ever felt, and come out the other wide kindler, but also caring being off the goal. The state of the world, social media, economic, and social media are making it all off that as they're trumpet, learn the next. They are so much more resilient, smarter, and more aware of how they be involved at first. The people around them that are important one is the people who I watch shows that don't take them seriously. We go to a spot where the driver, director, character, and content they deserve."

Park's next project as writer/director, the film - a romantic comedy feature starring Joe Kravin, will be her first second on adults. "It's about parenthood, aging parents, female friendship and the comedy that comes from that," she says. "Of all the things I've written, it's the closest to where I am in my sexual life." She's also imagining scenarios for Sterling Point features, though she's yet to be announced: "We know we wanted some, and I'm not sure if you're not going to be a man. I'm not sure if you're not going to be a man. I'm not sure if you're not going to be a man. I'm not sure if you're not going to be a man. I'm not sure if you're not going to be a man. I'm not sure if you're not going to be a man. I'm not sure if you're not going to be a man. I'm not sure if you're not going to be a man.

She's also imagining scenarios for Sterling Point features, though she's yet to be announced: "We know we wanted Annie and Karena to really place, so if we get a teaser, a re:ll, we have that's all-factual there," she says. There's a lot she wants to dig into - Connor looking for her and Annett's biological parents, - they are not all he's turns up - The characters are special to me. And the actors are already RTS -

She sleeps herself. "See, I'm dating myself," she says. "We cast would be too know. 'Megan, how would you RTS call more.'" And Park would listen.

Looking for a summer theatre fix? Consider Gananoque, Ont.

The Last Five Years is a worthwhile showcase of what Thousand Islands Playhouse does well

AGING MORTY

THE GLOBE

Halfway through The Last Five Years, Jason Robert Brown's surreal even musical about a failed marriage in New York, there's a song that might hit close to home for any theatre companies whose programming spans the warmer months.

Tried a farmer in Ohio, the song chronicles the many lives of making theatre in small towns. Summer theatre is where creativity goes to die, laments struggling across Cathy - she'll rather show an ice pick in her eye, or eat fish from some time last year. But even return to the pastoral stage.

If I could, I'd recommend in Cathy that she might find better back at Thousand Islands Playhouse, where summer theatre couldn't feel less like the cultural void she describes in The Last Five Years.

Located in Gananoque, Ont., about two hours south of Ottawa, the company's programming runs the gamut of regional favourites and more surprising picks. This fall, after the closing of Green and The Last Five Years, the playhouse will present Come from Away, as well as the Kingston premiere of It's a Good Life! The Devil Wriden, the new musical featuring song by the Tragically Hip.

It helps, as well, that the company's Gananoque surroundings embody the best of Canada in the summertime. The theatre overlooks a gorgeous slice of the St. Lawrence River's waterfront, which audiences can explore without having to venture too far from the air-conditioned bishops.

The surrounding town,

meatwhile, throats with quaint antique stores and charming cafes. The orange dancecade, gelato-l-sampled at Pistachio Cafe ranks among the best Fox had in this hemisphere, and the tangy salsa verde served with Stonewater Pub's carnitas faces will likely inform all my future salsa sampling.

The Last Five Years is a tricky show to get right, but of the four or five versions I've seen since moving to Canada a decade ago, this one began the strongest, defined by managing artists, director Brett Christopher, the slick production uses Thousand

Islands Playhouse continues Far-hall Theatre to explore, up close, why the marriage depend on the musical is so dysfunctional.

The twist, as written by Brown, is that the story is told bidirectionally. Successful writer James James Daly's title fits side of things from the beginning, while Cathy (Tess Bengio) starts at their breakup. The timelines intersect only once, at their wedding, and both characters are highly lur-ured, unreliable variations. Not that is the villain of their incredible divorce, just as neither is the solo victim of it.

Indeed, The Last Five Years is

tough. It's sung through with very little spoken dialogue, and in production, it can be difficult for a director to string what's effective by a collection of monologues into a cohesive theatrical experience. Basically, too, it's a heart. Brown's piano score hinges on jazz chords that regularly get smashed in performance.

Christopher's production, however, avoids the traditional pitfalls of the show. Music director Patrick Newman conducts a tight-fatend band, and Christopher manages to make the two-time line mechanic of the show obvious without feeling heavy-hand-

ed. Scene designer Joshua Quinlan's simple set, for instance, spins the audience into two halves, further establishing the la-mic-Cathy binary by creating two perspectives from which spectators can watch the story unfold.

Bengio, among the country's most consistent musical theatre actors, is a natural Cathy, with a beautiful high belt that mostly complements her otherwise conversational style of singing. Bengio approaches the solo with a sense of curiosity as she fills in the character gaps of Brown's score. How does Cathy balance her contempt for summer theatre with her growing patriarchy complex? How does she navigate being divorced via handwritten note just moments after deciding the ex-who "How her off with a heartfelt letter"? It's a pleasure to watch Bengio attempt to answer those questions, and even more so to hear her sing as she does.

Daly, fresh off a winsome performance as this in the Canadian premiere of Hamid Moody: The Unauthorized Musical Feeds, is less successful as James - he and large, he is musical. While Daly offers delightful performances of James's first few numbers, the back-hall of Brown's score mostly gets the better of him. The Schmuel Song is surprisingly ungrounded dramatically, while Steady Steele is Know ventures into the prettiest upper heights of Daly's voice and occasionally squeaks.

Even so, The Last Five Years is a worthwhile showcase of what Thousand Islands Playhouse does well. Its intricate story adds an audience to think critically, and under Christopher's direction, the production offers a seductive alternative to the more cross-pleasing musical line that audiences might find in Stratford or Niagara on-the-Lake.

And while Cathy might have conflicting feelings about summer shows, in Gananoque, those critiques couldn't land with less wallop. The town's a perfect summer getaway, and hey. The theatre's not half had, either.

What Colson Whitehead sees

The Pulitzer-winning author on his new book, Cool Machine, the nature of fiction and crooked power

NIGEL BANSOME

Every unforgettable moment in the Oscar-nominated film Nickel Boys happened twice: first in Colson Whitehead's language, then again in the faces held by the frame.

Consider one scene as the cross-lim portrays: In the sytics, all backwomans sit at a picnic table on a winter. Florida afternoon, her face warmed beneath an open sky, the grandson in front of her just a voice. The civil rights grind of that decade hangs between them. She locks eyes with the lens, her expression disband. She tells the answers boy, and in, that the white lawyer who promised to bring him home after he was wrongly sent to a superiority against and deadly reform school has disappeared to infancy, with the money they seized together.

In the same scene on the page of Whitehead's true novel, the woman's debut picture, the reader's imagination through the hands: the fingers trembling. How a character's features would look in such pivotal moments, strangely enough, to show the last thing Whitehead considers.

"I don't think I necessarily see anything now," he admits on a phone interview from New York, when asked what he has learned from seeing his work adapted for the screen. "I literally don't really see people's faces that result in my characters."

For the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, this admission is less a failure of imagination than a like. Joe came he saw everything else. His words have the care effect of fostering intimacy, rendering his characters so complete that they rarely need the furnishing of checkpoints. The face can wait when the person is already there.

The ability to command a character, of course, had to be honed over time.

When Whitehead told his folks he was writing. The treatment, his spay debut novel about elevator inspectors in a city of skyscrapers, the premise landed he shudded: "They were like, 'Whartle hell are you talking about?'" he says through laughter.

By his own telling, he was broke, writing the word "elevator" close to 50 times a day and asking himself the same two questions: "What the hell is wrong with me? Should I pick something easier to write about?"

But "easy" was not the point. After an earlier novel went unpublished, Whitehead was trying to write beyond what he already knew he could do. "It was the book I had to write."

From 1920 to 1929, he worked at The Village Voice as a book or tower and TV critic. After that first novel, he published another every two or three years until his work, Zero One, made it to the New York Times bestseller list, and his seventh and eighth, his next epic The Underground Railroad and 1930's The Nickel Boys respectively, both won the Pulitzer for fiction. The more he wrote, the better Whitehead got at comparing complete characters through the written word.

His more recent creations, like the character that Carney, tend to poke through like springs beneath upholstery.

"When you sit down to work, when the dark has drained, it's as hard as it always was, and it's just you then," Whitehead says of his writing. For the past seven years, the person trusting there with him has been Carney, a Black furniture salesman and occasional fence whose story concludes in Whitehead's latest novel, Cool Machine for the third and final volume of his Harlem trilogy set in the Manhattan neighbourhood.

The trilogy originated as a heist novel about Carney, whose respectable store-

front counsels a leaning operation in the back room. But one robbery story couldn't contain Whitehead's imagination.

"I kept coming up with more and more jails and capers and fools for fear," he says. Before he had written a word, Harlem Shuffle had already become "three separate novelists that come together to tell me story." Halfway through the first book, ideas for more schemes presented themselves. Then a second book of rapport, followed by the larger realization: "Oh, a trilogy!"

The resulting project became a demouled, three-act story of a man and his stry aging in harmony, giving Whitehead room, as he puts it, "to follow Roy Carney for 30 years, to follow the city for 30 years." Harlem Shuffle was Act One, spanning 1920 to 1930, Cross Hamsters Act Two.

Set across 10th, 10th and 10th, Act Three finds Carney older and successful, his legitimate and illicit businesses both stable, even as he remains haunted by a particular restlessness. Where the first two novels caught him alternately rejecting and embracing his crooked nature, Cool Machine brings about what Whitehead calls an "an easy integration of the two."

Carney's moments of 10-year-ice-communality are complicated by who he is, namely, a Black businessman. His respectable ambitions unfold in a lengthy white-controlled city of banks, developers, politicians and men with sales who can die same exams as the men with the guns - just with better lighting and cleaner paperwork.

On one page, Carney finishes an interview with a furniture company magazine, selling an upstanding version of himself. Two pages later, he's stepping away to answer a could-mosque-bone criminal associate signalling an opportunity: "The new samples arrived."

Linton to Whitehead reason not for fiction for long enough, and questions of race, capitalism and corruption inevitably enter the conversation, even if he's less interested in his bestselling three concerns beside his job title as a novelist.

"I don't think fiction has any duty for anything except to not be had," he says matter-of-factly. "I'm really fulfilling an artistic urge for my own well-being, not fulfilling a role that the outside is imposing on me."

Nonetheless, the work can carry a critique of society over if Whitehead doesn't accept that as his mission.

The distinction between the artist and his work can be how to master, Whitehead says, when they encounter him through only one corner of his work.

"If you just read The Hotel then, you have one idea of what kind of writer I am," he says. "Somebody who's a very serious person can only know very serious topics. But I also have a weird sense of humour."

Cool Machine helps to sabotage the impression come may have that Whitehead's humorous. In one scene within its pages, Carney studies an Ecozy from New York movie poster. He verily accepts the 10th-20th-25th post-past, and the 10th-20th-25th post-past, and the 10th-20th-25th post-past, and the 10th-20th-25th post-past, and the 10th-20th-25th post-past, and the 10th-20th-25th post-past, and the 10th-20th-25th post-past, and the 10th-20th-25

keyakts and a brain mooped in decades of film - the sorta stuff that makes him who he is.

In the early innings of his intellectual life, Whitehead came of age reading an influential generation of Black writers who could weave together music, movies, politics and art so they felt like parts of the same conversation.

The Village Voice introduced him to Greg Tate, Joan Kennedy, Lisa Jones, Joan Morgan and Nelson George, "cool, young Black writers," he says, who won "attacking the culture and deconstructing things." For his message self, this own fiction would examine his own pop-culture favourite like Capitol Liquid. The Twilight Zone, Super Fly and Curtis Sheffield, as well as the American systems operating beneath them.

Whitehead was a kind of Manhattan's Upper East Side, the third of four children, the parents out an excellent recording company and sent their children to school schools. He grew up near New York's more-or-and-power, watching the city rumored in self-white copy book fiction, landlords and real estate operators turned neighborhoods into profit, and politicians traded on finance through patronage, holdbacks and city costs.

Whitehead still lives in Manhattan. Today, the Big Apple is embracing two new things that one's felt like fairy tales: a hopeful humor and a frantic film.

"As everyone who's lived here my whole life, I know that any upswing will be short-lived," says Whitehead. "I'm always ready for the next week, even when I'm enjoying how things are going now."

Books like Cool Machine, his mother novel Zero One, his fantastical escape-hembraclage also has a New York-ground Railroad, or his supernatural director thriller are variations on the same magazine. that American power endures by changing clothes. Race, money, bureaucracy and corruption abrogated from books to book, but the gears understoodly remain familiar.

What happens when you have corruption on a scale that's unthinkable, unbelievable? So, asks when our conversations turn from the corruption in his fiction to its real world counterpart.

What are a personal, unbelievable choice to past the people, get them out of jail, and half-joining up the creak in a spoon's a week later?

Remove the guardrails that are supposed to make abuses of political power carry consequences. So sure, and those who are not going to have will commit "criminal act after criminal act" without fear of punishment.

When Whitehead says this, it hits like an occupational reflex. He's a socialist first, draws inspiration from the true world, and contemplates its extremes. It's an unlimited well of status.

"I think, in general, it's about an idea that I can't escape, that keeps begging me, even now," he says of how he decides what to write next. "If any idea stays with you long enough, it's also sort of arguing for its importance."

Canadian art goes (literally) underground

Some galleries are opting for basement spaces, which tend to come with lower rents

TATUM DOOLY

At the artist-run project the plumb, the ceiling height is roughly 75 feet and there are no windows. In certain areas, it's easy to save your hands and grace the overhead pipes protruding throughout the space. The gallery, accessed by an allertree in the west end of Toronto, operates out of a basement.

The plumb has forgone what most people pursue when they think of an art gallery, a room with high ceilings and aray white walls, in favour of more affordable space and one that some see as more creatively stimulating because it is unexpected.

"The reason this project happens in the basement is that it was affordable," founding member Daniel Hunt says, adding that artists looking to start a gallery without the deep pockets of a corporation have to think outside of the box – or outside the ground floor.

When the members of the plumb, currently so who split the rent and make curatorial decisions, first looked at the subterranean space, even their realtor wondered why they'd want it. "In our first interaction, the question of what exactly we are going to use this space for came up, and then when I said it was an art gallery, they would say: 'There are no windows.' Hunt says: 'Having windows is an intramural component of what we are looking for. We're just looking for space.'"

A desirable feature in most residential and commercial venues, windows aren't as important in art contexts. Think about walking through a museum. Typically, there aren't that many windows. Sunlight is a natural deterrent to light-sensitive artworks, meaning electric

lines tend to prefer the control of artificial lighting. For this reason, a basement gallery doesn't affect the art viewing experience.

A desirable feature in most residential and commercial venues, windows aren't as important in art contexts.

The plumb's space is a sprawling 2,000 square feet. Hunt mentions that this space is ideal for group exhibitions, with many corners "providing natural architectural breaks that allow works to sit and nest together in sequence that in another space would maybe sometimes feel a little too jammed up."

Our O'Mahony, who is also a member of the plumb, has her own basement gallery in Toronto called SCAH Project Space, a play on its location within a former church: St. Cyril and Methodius. O'Mahony's experience running a basement gallery is inherited. Her parents started an art gallery in the same basement in 1948. The family, including O'Mahony, still lives in the converted church. O'Mahony, who runs the gallery with Joshua Begin, continues the gallery's legacy, relaunching the project in 2025 to give artists a space to experiment without commercial pressure.

"My room has worked in the arts my entire life," says O'Mahony. When she was growing up, her mother, Niamh O'Loughare, was the director of the University of Toronto Art Centre, now, she's the director of Safety Art Gallery. "She was an art history lecturer but wanted to create exhibitions and didn't have the infrastructure to do so. So why not make your own space in the basement of your house?"

O'Mahony attributes some of the success of below-ground galleries to their hidden nature.

"Maybe there's just a little bit of excitement or something clandestine, that asks: What are we about to see?" When visitors first enter SCAH Project Space, their reaction is surprise, she says. The basement gallery features 10,000 ceilings – a lot taller than a basketball hoop – and is polished with sleek white walls, track lighting and a minimalist black staircase leading to a second level.

In Calgary, the aptly named Crawlspace Gallery also makes good use of an under-ground unit. The gallery is located in highwood, a neighborhood its members say they typically could not afford. "We just found this sketch: Kōjō listing for this basement that had been up for rent for five months and had a million views. We thought, 'This is definitely not real.' Then we went to see it, and it was so lovely," says May Jones, the lead creative director of the artist collective. "It was twice the size of anything else that we were looking at and super cheap because the building was maybe going to be determined in six months."

That porcarity, along with the perceived notion that a basement is less than ideal, has given the group of nine artists, who graduated from Alberta University of the Arts in 2024, access to lower studio rent, boxing up funds to do other things, such as curate room exhibits. They've been in the building for two years but because it's been slated for demolition, they could be asked to leave at any time.

When that happens, Jones and her co-director know exactly what they'll look for: their next basement.

"I think people often cite money as an issue, that it's too expensive to start a space, but we did this for almost no money," says the plumb's Hunt. "We did it because we wanted to do it and we love it and it's important to have pieces like that in the ecosystem."

Will Forte, who plays Kevin Avery in Coyote vs. Acme, says it was 'not very fun' at the time of the movie's cancellation. The film will finally open in theatres after a controversial move by Warner Bros. Studies to indefinitely shake the film as a fun write-off. After postback from audiences and fellow filmmakers, Warner Bros. selected and sold the film's distribution rights. PHOTOS BY CHRIS PIZZELLO/ASSOCIATED PRESS

That's (not) all, folks!

The story of getting Coyote vs. Acme released is even loomer – and more ironic – than you think

BARRY

HERTZ

SCREEN TIME

To the best of his recollection, Will Forte has never tried to kill an animal using dynamite, giant boulders or rock-tip powerful roller skates.

Yet when the Saturday Night Live veteran first heard the news that his Looney Tunes movie, Coyote vs. Acme had been permanently shelved by its studio for tax write-off purposes, the actor's reaction was similar to what his animated co-star, Wife E. Coyote, frequently felt when one of his schemes to crouge the Scudramme (often quite literally) blew up in his face. 'Extreme frustration, fiery frustration, A lot of anger, white hot anger.'

Today, though, Forte has cooled off. Early because he has had time to reflect on the situation, but mostly because Coyote vs. Acme is finally, miraculously set-up the light of day.

What's more: Because the comedy is itself stylized as a David vs. Goliath battle about standing up to rampant corporate greed, the fact that the film is being released at all despite the best worst efforts of its own studio made a true victory for the creative community in an increasingly hostile media landscape. In pure accidental Wife E. Jackson, Coyote vs. Acme just might be the most important movie of the year.

'I mean, I can still get worked up about it, but you do get land-sight the further you go,' Forte says in an interview with The Globe. 'Because of the insane situation that this movie went through, it might even help get more eyes out. It was not very fun at the time, and it's very easy for me to mentally go back to that place.'

Lana Condor, who plays Paige Avery, says seeing how good the final version of the film was made made her more upset it was shelved.

That place, to borrow Forte's words, was a Hollywood landscape so absurd and silly and simply unbelievable as to rival even the wildest Looney Tunes caper.

A most adaptation of a new New Yorker comedy essay by Ian Pearce, Coyote vs. Acme had been in development for years at Warner Bros., the studio home of Bugs Bunny and Co. The home story imagined Wife E. taking legal action against Acme, the fictional all-purpose corporation that kept selling him defective instruments of death and destruction.

Instead of a traditionally animated film, though, the movie was conceived as a hybrid of cartoon and live-action performance, with Warner Bros. aiming more for the innovative legacy of Wife Pearce's finger habitat and less than enforcement of such efforts as Civil World or The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Eventually, director Dave Green came on to direct a script by Samy Burch (who would later turn an Oscar nomination for her work on Todd Haynes' May Revenber), superhero, subpart James Game (who has since worked on franchise for both Danny's Marvel brand and Warner's UK Studios) was almost as producer, and flesh and blood comedy star Forte headlined the cast as Wife E's ambulance-chasing lawyer, alongside such chăm as John Cena (as Acme's dan-

tardly counsel) and Lana Condor (Forty's harmful colleague).

For a while, it seemed as if Wife E. would finally have his day in court, so to speak, and audiences would get their first big-screen Looney Tunes movie since the disappointing icon sequel Spaceline: A New Legacy.

But then an Acme-sized aired was dropped atop the producers head.

In November, 2023, about a year after filming began in Albuquerque, N.M., the movie was abruptly shelved. Not temporary, it's bad forever.

About a year and a half earlier, David Zadar had become the new chief executive of Warner Bros. after the merger between the media giant and Discovery Inc., and one of his top priorities was cutting costs. Already, Zadar had taken the unprecedented step of quashing two nearly completed productions – Target and a new Scooby-Doo feature – for tax write-off purposes. (To this day, the films have never been seen.)

Wife E. was next on his list. There would be no opportunity for producers to shop the film elsewhere, or for even the tiniest of theatrical releases. Streaming was also off the table. That's all, folks.

'I remember getting a phone call from my team telling me that the film had been tested that week with audiences, and the

Forte says director Dave Green 'put his heart and soul' into the film, working 'a thousand times more than any of us.'

feedback was really great and we were all happy and excited. And there it was the day after I got the call saying, actually no. It's going to be shelved. It was like whip-faith,' recalls Forte's co-star Condor.

'You didn't want to believe it. To have it just straight up be shelved, not even a conversation, I didn't even know that you could do that. This was hundreds of people's work and activity. I didn't even know it was an option to throw away years of hard work and dedication.'

At the time, Condor felt that perhaps she was viewing the situation through non-coloured glasses. Maybe the movie wasn't actually good! Her career would be better without having to defend a dad. But then she, along with Forte and other members of the cast, went to what the filmmakers called a 'funeral screening', possibly the very last time that the completed film would be presented.

'I read death and saw how great it was, and that just [must be] off more. I felt like I was being gaols,' Condor says. 'At the same time, the silver linings is that all the outcry from fans, the support we've received from fellow filmmakers in the industry, ended up being the reason it's going to be seen.'

Instead, after news of the decision spread, pressure mounted so high on Warner executive – the move was, after all, also in Disney Showings. Mickey Mouse into George McNeal's craft, never to be seen or heard from again – that the studio oriented. Eventually, the film's distribution rights were sold for a reported 1700cc million to the upstart ketchup Entertainment, which had previously reared another, two high-profile Looney Tunes title, the 2024 Porky Pig and Duffy Duck team up 1%! Day the Earth Blow Up: (In Canada, Coyote vs. Acme is being distributed by VVS Films.)

Hollywood has a long history of making movies that poke fun at their own inner workings. In fact, Warner Bros. itself can claim the greatest example of this sub-genre, with Joe Dunn's Growth 2. The low birth relentlessly showering the early-nineties landscape on the WB 60. Yet the release of Coyote vs. Acme represents an entirely new level of showtime to go.

'This is a satire about corporate经济效益 so that we happened to be dropped for the most cruel and

crass of economic justifications – and now just might become more successful at the box office than its former studio's biggest summer release [that'd be the super-bomb-hapergirl]. All at a time when Warner Bros. itself might be subsumed into a bigger corporate machine via the proposed acquisition by Paramount Airplane.

'I think you'd be blind not to see the story there,' Condor says with a laugh. 'I've had my own conversations about how this film is a great example of art imitating life.'

'I did see the irony at the time, but it did not comfort me,' Forte adds in his typically deadpan fashion, before going on to note that this most difficult part for him was watching how the film's director, Green, was being treated.

'We kept in touch during the whole process, and that was the sudden thing for me. As hard as we worked on it, there worked a thousand times more than any of us. He put his heart and soul into it, and he'll never say this because he's such a gentleman, but the way he got treated, man, they did some pretty uncool things,' he adds. 'That guy is a saint.'

In a way, Forte's involvement in the Coyote vs. Acme says also does as curious loop for the actor. His best-known 3K character remains the MacGraw-sugar mercenary MacGruber, whose constant bumbling with explosives often left the character in the same nice/dark circumstances as Wife E.

What's more: MacGruber was then brought to life in a big-screen adventure that flopped – only to be miraculously represented for a television series years later, proof that Forte could be as relentlessly midtown and committed as Wife E. himself.

'I've never made that connection. I think you might have something there,' Forte says, somewhat sincerely. But mostly, the actor's involvement for this project was the culmination of a lifelong dream.

'I don't remember life without Looney Tunes. It was just always around. I was born in 1970, so it was just what you'd watch when you got home from school every day,' he adds. 'I don't think I realized how emotional a thing it was for me until I actually saw myself onscreen with these characters.'

Coyote vs. Acme opens in Studios Aug. 28.

Michelle Good considers the loss of the buffalo

Her new novel, Eliza Sunshine, follows four women whose multigenerational stories connect to the animal's near extinction

MATT SODELMAN

Historical records – their events smoothed over by time – have a way of abusing these figures. Removed from contextual specificity such as testimony from the Indigenous people affected, existing upb-sommy photographs displaying visual evidence of the buffalo's destruction in North America, and the public's imposition: not-century viewers beyond the fascination of the grotesque. In Saskatchewan and Montana and Michigan, for example, these photos show a little picture of the lulu house, usually with a white man young in front of them, ready to be hauled off and turned into fertilizer, plus or from china. Stations reveal the horror: Revivors in million and to million buffalo in North America were systematically whittled down to around 40.

Unfathomable as these numbers are, statistics are still abstracts. One author Michelle Good's second novel Eliza Sunshine, a popular author contest, advising from historical events and her very family history to emphasize the truly apocalyptic nature of the destruction and the general public's connection.

Over the phone from her home in Maple Creek, Sask., near the Cypress Hills (or Manitaklaw or One), Good notes there's a One novel – ofageumthemis – often used as a “reverent discogsive” of buffalo that is sometimes translated in English as “seventhment.” Not could also mean something along the lines of, “everything we need.”

“Said imagine everything gone, all of us addicts,” Good says. “Food, clothing, shelter, medicine, tools – everything is healthy gone. Now would you survive in the world?

One author Michelle Good's new book Eliza Sunshine poses the question of how would one survive in a world where everything good suddenly disappeared. ADAM DELMAN MOZER

How could you possibly survive?” Eliza Sunshine poses that question through a multigenerational story that spools out from an old-fashioned of life in late 19th-century Saskatchewan before contact with European settlers into the turn of the 1st century. It begins from the perspective of Swan, a Czar girl coming of age, inspired by: Good's great-grandmother, Canada. The story shifts into that of Swan's granddaughter Eliza, who conspires a tumultuous and, century dense with vicious, custom and a lengthy illness while stirring for a career amid joy and death. It then ends through the lens of Ella, Eliza's daughter, a

university student inspired by family and community stories to organize a winnivry group in advocate for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

While trying to establish where the stories of Eliza Sunshine were coming from – “who was telling them, and why – Good decided to inhabit multiple voices over generations. “It made it as much about the importance of storytelling as a social institution that works on the history and the forms of the people as it is about these three women,” she says. “Everything I’ve written, I could have written as tech-

fiction,” Good says. “Every single thing, every book. The scares show us for us because I think fiction – or the game of fiction, because I don’t think anything is truly fictional – gives a broader sense of what these characters are experiencing, learning, responding to. It makes it more alive.”

Good's award-winning debut novel, The Little Indian (2021) contest around five residential school survivors, also does not have a number of grandmother's lives. There's a natural depth and richness that comes from Eliza Sunshine's proximity to family history (Good is a member of Red

Pleasant One Nation in Saskatchewan, while also figures prominently in the book).

But her experience as a lawyer also bolsters the story with an incisive sense and illustration of cause and effect. The impacts of large-scale atrocities carried out by the government against Indigenous peoples, including the residential school system and the Sintey Scoop, trickle down into individual-level violent acts such as rape and murder, the aftershocks of which are endured by families and small communities. Good makes plenty of room for joy and never yields to despair, building complex materials, and that makes all the difference when it comes to making readers feel the true weight of history. “I want characters, not caricatures,” she says.

“I really hope, people experience this in a very personal way,” Good says. “That they experience the characters as people, and that they can imagine themselves trying to survive these circumstances. I hope it causes more to question what they think they know.”

It took substantial effort to get to that place. Good was meditating on traumatic events from her mother and grandmother's lives; in the case of her great-grandmother, woman whose decades before Good was born, she imagined, nearly out of whole cloth, going through the near extinction of the life-sustaining buffalo.

I had to write a little break because it was so painful, actually to think about that,” Good says. “Not only the truth of it, but what it must have felt like to witness, when you consider these creatures to be a successful, them being treated in that way.”

In the novel, many years after the buffalo got wiped out, Swan assumes a bird's eye perspective on the consequences of that sensitive violence and good. The buffalo – “our brothers,” she made about that child with water for other animals to drink from, spread racks with their beards and fertilized the prairie groves. Swan understands that the body is a “sacred, unscared, richest people, but that it will affect all being things.” The lives in the earth was as profound as the loss to us: “There is nothing abstract about that.”

“Until we are able to come to grips with Canadian history, so experienced through the lens of Indigenous people, we won’t even get to the starting point,” Good says. “That’s the starting point: “we have to be the same understanding of what happened on this country and why.”

A memoir that reckons with mortality

Seventy-A Diary of My

Seventy-First Year ST VAN BEYERN (354 FACES)

But back to my colonoscopy? It would be rare, in a broad conversation, to encounter anyone so excited about a sensitive, invasive medical procedure, but perhaps else so one line of demarcation between management relations and memoirs.

There's a certain amount of coordinating one must be willing to abide to navigate the memoir given. In the age of Instagram and TikTok influences documenting every aspect of their lives, no matter how mundane or trivial, the temptation for a memoir is a visual highly relevant details about their daily routines, their physical and mental health, and their health functions is almost expected – there can be no such thing as TMI It's useless to complain about this. It's practically impossible into the gene's expectations.

In his latest book, Ian Brown goes so far as to underscore his

enthusiasm, appending that movement exclamation point to the end of a digression about his late father speaking to his cardiologist after being diagnosed with terminal cardiomyopathy.

Brown is commemorating his colonoscopy, as part of Seventy-A Diary of My Seventy-First Year. The book is a follow-up in his earlier Sixty-A Diary of My Sixty-First Year, conceived in response to the milestone of entering his seventh decade. Sixty, which was nominated for the KBE Taylor Prize, was a compendium of all the ways Brown's body was lecturing him, from wrinkling skin and thinning hair to visors changes and memory loss. It was also a premature account of the author's thoughts on aging, filtered through his reading at the time. “East first-Koungapally My things give me and the collected poems

of Philip Larkins and interactions with friends and family.

Ten years on, Brown has decided once again to take his abdominal temperature. Seventy-begins on fish, a 2cm, the author's birthday with an observation that might surprise some readers of his earlier book: “Seventy in the first age I have felt sick.”

Brown spent the bulk of his previous memoir trying to dampen or stave off the grand church of time, but in this new volume he finds there is no escaping. If, if Sixty was, in large part, a lament for things not done, made not taken and dreamt-not realized, Seventy is an even more straightforward reckoning with mortality, not an theoretical concept but an existential fact.

“Time upside up as no god, Brown wrote in one of Sixty's

most piercing insights,” an each year is experienced as a smaller feature of the whole. “Perhaps this accounts for the heightened sense of urgency in the new volume. “I know anything can happen anytime,” Brown writes over the ensuing by a thread, and its thinness tumbles us all.”

The ravages of aging only increase that dread, at least on the page for Brown. Its restitence to do and attend spin class and bicycle around Toronto, but he is finding it even more difficult to ignore the ways his body is changing, especially when it comes to that masculine attitude: he habitually adds her “waste.”

For Brown, much of the aging process involves fluctuating social potency (“there are more to shows than there used to be”) and persisting down (“I've spent the work feeling I would say being to you with that I seem to maintain for a seventy-year-old”). Brown does not seem sure or reacable about the changes in his life (as in he believes in the world's so much as merely perplexed, and it's worthwhile to note: for a savage in health addressing matters of sexuality and aging as this still exists like I subject many would prefer to avoid thinking about altogether.

Elsewhere, Brown's cautious seems admirable. He agrees to travel for his across the United States for a Globe and Mail piece taking the nation's political interpretation prior to the November, 2024, presidential election, a journey that would exhaust more people half his age. He recalls once-twisting “sweeps and commutes,” alongside “semi-permanent roadshows” and being taken away in the steam-rock library, but travellers who supported Donald Trump (It is precisely this old liberal blindness to the

concerns of a forgotten demographic that, at least in part, allowed Trump to win both times, but that is a story for another day!

The seminar between the American American for encounters on the cross-country voyage and Brown's own day-to-day life is profound. If somewhat under-examined, for all his state/rogers over not realizing some of his dreamt-not ambitions, his dramatic recollection, mostly literary as the of the former, is constant and punch Stephen Marche, lunch with the grandfather of AC Geoffrey Hinton, a different 2024 lunch at Toronto's tour in Great Britain. The course is company of Martin Amie, along with various parties and other social engagements. His reading list ranges from Philip Keith to Nicholson John to Claire Korgan to John (both piece and file) to Alan Snyder's The End of the Good and Evil: A World History of Monday (which Brown doesn't often representably!). This is all testament to a life thoroughly lived.

As a result, Brown's model that he maintains a sense of proportion and a willingness to heed the counsel of a younger generation Brown refutes a story about being yelled at by a woman who assumed he was aging at her in public school. “The day of the specialty sunglasses,” he wonders about when he or she is a certain age should be castigated for simply looking at a woman woman who is now adult daughter, Hayley, suggests that his view of individual responsibility is too limited: What women are in these situations is more on the lives of a class struggle. In this, Brown admits, “she was, brilliantly, correct.”

In Dangerland!, Erin Singer seeks to understand love, chance and Las Vegas

What could have been a story detailed by its own chaos is ultimately a lighthearted read

LARA HALL

While living in Vancouver and working for an online gambling publication, writer Erin Singer flew to the 2007 World Series Poker Tournament in Las Vegas to interview poker players. One of those players would become her husband. What followed was a "whirlwind thing" and three months later, she moved to the city permanently. They're still together. "It's wild," says Singer, "I look back on myself and I think, 'I can't believe it did that.'"

If that sounds like a quintessential fan I'm quacken courtship, the same can't be said for Kurt and Eugene, the fifty-nine-fitting love interests of Singer's debut novel, Dangerland!, released last month. Living among the gaudy and unphysical buildings of Las Vegas, the "perpetually humbling" Kurt and Eugene have spent a lifetime offering each other, all while marrying other people, raising complicated children

Author Erin Singer, who moved to Las Vegas with her husband in 2007 and set her novel Dangerland! there, says the city is "mired because people get very territorial about it." (story overview)

and making generally questionable life choices. Now, the two must decide, so sure the book's promotional copy, "whether love is worth one more gamble."

It's a "will they or won't they" in the insect sense. Singer traces the story of real estate developer Kurt, who's been intimated with Eugene since they were kids. Now twice divorced with four doomsday children, Kurt is being sued by his own neighbours and hasn't yet been to Eugene in a decade. But that doesn't stop him from deciding to die product into to profess his love for her, one last

time. Adult children enter the scene, chaos ensues and an ensemble of other Las Vegas—each searching for their own brand of salvation—completely things further. It's the kind of story that only benefits from two middle-aged protagonists, who bring what some people may refer to as "buggies." But Singer believes in the appropriate amount of depth, history and find decisions, to the narrators: "There's a lot more to dig into there," she says. What could have been a story detailed by its own mousiness is ultimately a lighthearted read

with "a lot of substance to it," Singer says. No spoilers, but the original ending to Dangerland! was far idealer. Singer's editor suggested she end the romantic dramatic on a more hopeful note. "I was like, 'okay, I'm not opposed to the idea,' and I wrote it, and it just felt like it was the right move," says Singer. After all, in Vegas, there's always one more chance to win. "Dangerland!" is setting—the title bars and news-fit casinos and upcoming game compounds—to a character-time itself. But if Kurt and Eugene are deeply rooted in

the urban desert, Singer can't say the same, even though she has called Las Vegas home for nearly 20 years. Having grown up in northwest Saskatchewan, where her family still lives, Singer still feels like an outsider in her adopted hometown. Most of her writing roles is the composer of a PEN Robert J. Buschford Story Prize for Emerging Writers) has consisted of short fiction set in rural Saskatchewan. Recently, while walking through a large shopping mall in Las Vegas she was married when a retailer called out to her from behind her kiosk to ask if she was from Canada. She conceded it may have been a coincidence, most malls in Las Vegas do attract a certain proportion of Canadian tourists. Kurt is left her wondering if he - if everyone - can somehow tell her heart is still on the Canadian Peanuts.

"Vegas is voted because people get very territorial about it. Eugene says Las Vegas is like the White House. It belongs to you and trains. It belongs to everyone, because everyone has a claim on it. But writers are very strongly territorial about this too. People with even age of a close long have you been in the writing community? How long have you lived here? Like, have you paid your dues? That's the feelings just anyway."

And yet, it's possible that slight dissonance is the very thing that makes Dangerland! as quickly and vivid as the Las Vegas Strip itself. Maybe Singer is more observant because the decent rules for day-to-day setting for granted. "Even though I live here, I feel like I'm always just seeing it and noticing it," says Singer. In her own way, she's hit the jackpot.
