U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lattick played a central role in detailing a prospective trade deal with Canada, pushing for harder terms than his own country's chief negotiator, said three sources with knowledge of the talks. The agreement collapsed less than an hour before the deadline to finalize it on Friday evening, with Canada objecting to a range of U.S. demands hitting everything from exports of Canadian trucks and aluminum products to

Canadian content streaming rules to Ottawa's trade relations with other countries. In many cases, said one of those sources and three others, Canadian negotiators believed they had agreed to one thing on Tuesday – when U.S. President Donald Trump crowed that the two sides had reached a deal only for the Americans to insert surprise language into the final text of the deal. Prime Minister Mark Carney, meanwhile, faced intense domestic pressure. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and industry figures pushed him to get a better deal on steel and autos, two sources said. Quebec cabinet ministers, meanwhile, objected to the streaming rules, a separate source said. One Canadian source said Ottawa gave Washington a list of new de-

mands after the Tuesday agreement. The Globe and Mail is not naming sources mentioned in this story as they were not authorized to disclose information about the closed-door bargaining. Now, Mr. Trump has heated up his trade war with new 50-per cent tariffs on $70 less billion worth of Canadian imports – in addition to pre-existing levies on autos, steel, aluminum, forestry and other sectors. Mr. Carney has vowed further retaliation, and the White House has said it will hit back. It all damages Canada's dominant international trade relationship, with escalating pain for businesses, workers and consumers on both sides of the border. © TMD/FL 44

Humanoid robot beats Bolt's 100-metre sprint world record at Beijing games

ACHMAD GRAHAM CHAR RO-HIM 92 1995

Chinese humanoid robots broke records set by humans, including Usain Bolt's 100-metre sprint world record, on the opening day of the Olympics-like World Hu- manoid Robot Games in Beijing on Saturday.

More than 2,000 humanoid ro- bots were participating in the exist, the organizer said.

The five-day games, now in their second year, are a spectacle demonstrating China's rapid pro- gress in advanced robotics as the technology race with the United States beat-up, with 10 events and more than 1,000 competitions, taking place, including running table teams and soccer.

The games, which are taking place in the National Speed Skat- ing Oval built for the 2022 Winter Olympics, opened the same week as Beijing held the 2021 World Rob- bot Conference, where compa- nies showcased around 3,000 products, including humanoid robots.

China makes the majority of the world's humanoid robots. The U.S. has stepped up scrutiny of ro- bots from the country.

Last month, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced a ban on imports of new foreign-made humanoid ro- bots. The FCC cited national-secun- tity reasons in a move that target- ed China. The Pentagon recently also added Ontario, one of China's leading humanoid robot makers, to its list of companies it deemed to have ties to the Chinese mili- tary. Beijing has hit back at the ac- cusations.

At Saturday's opening of the robot games, the organizer and robot makers said that Chinese humanoid robots defeated hu- man world records, as hundreds

of humanoid robots marched in formation onto the held in a mas- cler display of synchronized co- ordination.

In a 100-metre sprint, a huma- noid robot achieved a result of 9.39 seconds, beating the human record of 9.89 seconds set by Jamaican athletes Mr. Bolt in 2009.

In a standing high jump, a hu- manoid robot was able to reach a 88 metres, well above the 0.95 metres best result by a humanoid in last year's first edition of the games. It surpassed the human high-jump record of 2.45 metres set by Cuba's Javier Sotomayor in 1993.

Both robots were from Beijing based X-Humanoid.

Before the opening, a huma- noid robot from Chinese smart- phone company Hoose compa- tied a 100-metre sprint in a record of 9.33 seconds during a fall of the games, the company said, at a peak speed of 3.62 metres a sec- ond.

Still, experts say humanoid ro- bots are mostly used for domain strations, performances and

research—at least for now—and it still still take time to achieve mass real-world deployment.

Some spectators at the robot games said they were excited about the humanoid robots' quickly improving abilities.

Humanoid robots are "evolv- ing rapidly," and 12 "clothing, an education worker and a Beijing resident.

Verlino J. wasn't very accepting of artificial intelligence. I was even a bit resistant to it, because of the possibility that it might re- place or displace humans," she said. "But now that I see this de- velopment is uncongrable, I de- celed to come and take a look."

In Tax, who was watching the games with his son, said he was buying to see "the best robots Chi- na currently has to offer."

This year's robot games — which the organizer said have in countries participating, among them Germany, Japan and the U.S. — also include other events, such as weightlifting and tug-of-war.

TRADE 43

The trade cold war suddenly turns hot again

The list of last-minute U.S. demands made this an offer the Prime Minister had to refuse

CAMPBELL CLARK

OPINION

It was striking how much Mark Carney's crisis news conference on Saturday looked like the crisis news conference of 27 months ago.

He went a different inckite but a similar suit and strode into the same room to stand in front of the same backdrop of wood panelling and Canadian flags to deliver the same message. Canada would stand up to a U.S. tariff attack.

The first time, on March 27, 2026, Mr. Carney had come off the election campaign took to vow to retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump's move to impose tariffs on Canadian autos and what the Prime Minister called an attorney "to break us so that America can own us."

On Saturday, he vowed "dollar the dollar" retaliation against a whole new talk of steep U.S. tariffs imposed after the late-night breakdown of talks – intended, Mr. Carney said, to "hurt and divide us."

And here we are again. On the edge of a full blown, economically devastating trade war.

"You're at war when you get attacked," Mr. Carney said.

Last year's trade war had for a long time cooled into a painful normal, a trade cold war. Mr. Carney had backed off of a list of the retaliation. It was Mr. Trump who hit the gas again in July, driving straight at Canada with a threat of new tariffs.

This time, there is even greater potential for a spiralling tit-for-tat escalation. Mr. Trump's latest tariffs were supposed to force Canada to back down from its remaining retaliation and the bane on U.S. boxes imposed by eight unpertinent provinces. U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer insisted that the United States would not tolerate any retaliation, by any country.

This time, Mr. Carney isn't talking about negotiating a comprehensive deal with Mr. Trump, the war he did in last year's election campaign. Instead, he was suggesting

he didn't think an agreement with Mr. Trump could be reliable.

On Saturday, he ascribed the breakdown of talks not only to last-minute U.S. changes, but to a sense that the U.S. will keep coming back with unacceptable demands, time after time, while for its own commitments, its signature is sometimes "written in pencil."

Now he is pledging that Ottawa will back hard-hit industries with federal money for as long as it takes – until after Mr. Trump leaves office.

In Mr. Carney's telling, the deal that was supposedly being finalized all week became unacceptable when American negotiators added new elements that made it unacceptable.

In truth, the deal that was on the table even before all that was already pretty bad, one that had Canada dropping counter-measures – including making the pro-

inces give up their Bay Canadian policies – in exchange for a mediocre reduction in U.S. tariffs.

The list of things that Mr. Carney said U.S. negotiators added to the pot clearly at the last-minute made it an offer the Prime Minister had to refuse.

U.S. negotiators declared that the lower tariff rate on cars wouldn't apply to Canadian trucks, he said. They wanted language that would restrict Canada's ability to strike new trade deals with other countries, he said. And they pushed for Canada to give up some protection for culture and the French language, he said, including labeling on products.

That's hardly the kind of package that Mr. Carney could sell back home. It would be insane to hand the trade badly more power to shake us down by allowing them to dictate the terms of Canada's trade with other countries. It's hard to imagine a

more poisonous pill than making a deal with the U.S. that suggests the French language for taken off labels, especially when it is on waste before a Quebec election.

There is still a step window that offers the faint possibility that an all-out trade war, and its plant closures and lost jobs, could be averted.

Canada's retaliatory tariffs don't go into effect until Sept. 8. Perhaps Mr. Trump, taking blame for the high cost of living and sliding in opinion polls in advance of the midterm elections, might want to get talks going again.

That seems a very slim possibility now. It would require a climbdown by Mr. Trump. Mr. Carney has publicly suggested an agreement can't be trusted. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said it was a bad deal for Ontario's auto sector, anyway. Polls show that Canadians wanted Mr. Carney to fight. Suddenly, the trade cold war is hot again.

Ottawa rejects 12th per content demand

Washington wanted two laws promoting Canadian content, including in French, to be rolled back: source

MARIA WOOLF OTTAWA

Ottawa's negotiations rejected an international demand from the Trump administration to ditch requirements that U.S. streaming platforms, including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, promote the content market. The last music to these users in Canada.

On Friday evening, the U.S. on Saturday team introduced an unorganized demand that Canada provide exemptions to its laws in getting big U.S. streamers to the United States. The Canada's Canadian content, including French-language content, in this country, according to a senior government source.

But Canada rejected the demand, made hours before the 12th levels down, regarding it as a threat to this country's culture and sovereignty. It was one of a number of reasons Ottawa's team walked away from the ingetable market.

The source said during the Friday night 12th, the U.S. negotiators came with 'a new draft' of a cooperative trade, and between the two countries, which included demands for concessions on

'discoverability' of Canadian content.

Although the Washington negotiations were not specific about which legislative requirements they objected to, the source said they were moment that changes be made to Canadian cultural policy in favour of U.S. streaming platforms.

"It was mostly to ensure that there is more content from the U.S. and low Canadian content in Canada continue problems," the source said. "This is a red line."

The Clerk and Solicitor not making the source because they are not authorized to discuss the U.S. consumer problems.

As a press conference on Saturday after the breakdown of the 12th, the previous evening, Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government had not been prepared to make concessions to Canada's sovereignty.

He said Canada would not compromise our sovereignty, protection for French-language or our culture," adding that the values had never been up for negotiation during the trade talks.

The U.S. has taken issue before with two Canadian bills, including one in Quebec, that would require foreign streaming platforms and a plan to find homogeneous content, including in French, in Canada.

U.S. Trade Representative in response to our last special concerns about Quebec's bill run, passed in November last year by the pro-

men's National Assembly. It would require streaming services and device manufacturers to promote and promote these foreign

engate content for Quebec users. We chose and lay prodecessor Katherine Tal also repeatedly identified as a trade irritant the term federal Online Streaming Act. Once it is fully implemented by Canada's international regulatory body, it will require foreign streaming companies to promote a certain proportion of Canadian content - including French-language and indigenous content - on their platforms.

When the bill was moving through a influence on foreign streaming platforms passed there should be no such requirements for reconfigure their algorithms to promote Canadian content here. They argued that they already promote Canadian film. "If you music in Canada and work on it and being in huge amounts of revenue for Canadian content by introducing their work to global audiences."

But opponents of the measures said that Canada is being revamped by American film, "I and music, and foreign streamers need to make Canadian content easier to find here."

Major bills, broombers, executive director of the Coalition for the Diversity of Cultural Expositions, whose members include a number of Quebec cultural organizations, said "discoverability is really important because it is a way to create a space for our TV

shown and movies and music on these platforms."

Senator Andrew Cardozo, a former CRTC commentator who sat on the Senate committee that considered the online streaming bill, said he would not have been and the U.S. would reach a trade deal last week, but "there are some red lines we can't cross and a plan proud the government must first."

This whole deal is about us as a country "be said." There are no guardrails in Trump's world and we have to define and redefine what those guardrails are.

The Online Streaming Act (OCT) was a better campaign for the stream audio and video content to test with promote Canadian content, but also to contribute financially to Canada's cultural industries, as traditional broadcasts or have long been made to do. The government of the Department of Canadian Heritage responded to concerns from foreign streamers about the amount of money they would have to to do. Other Canada's cultural industries under the act.

The department directed the Canadian Radio television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to review the policy requiring streaming grants to https://www.crct.org. The corporation in Canadian revenues they must inject into Canada's cultural social order the act.

The department also indicated it planned to direct the broadcasting regulation to scrap its impairs-

ments for foreign streaming platforms to fund local news and niche broadcasts to Canada, as other military point for foreign streamers.

Peter S. Grant, a former member of the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislation Service Fund, said "Canada lodged a bullet when it looked away from a made deal with the U.S. that would have compromised our cultural policy."

In the statement of why the government had earlier this year declined to stand behind the CRTC's framework, released in May, requiring the large streamers to spend a per cent of their Canadian revenue on Canadian content.

To Europe, Netflix is required to spend at per cent of its revenue on European content. Its global program budget could easily affect the economy and the content as well. "Be said in an event."

He Grant offered last week to "digital trade alignment" between Canada and the U.S. in a social order. The format was improving trade deal.

The morning after Mr. Carney ended made talks and recalled negotiations to Ottawa, he offered a national registration for why one also transcribed the most recent prepared to compromise Canada's sovereignty or to undermine key industries," he told reporters. "But an air war when there get attacked we got a further chance."

Mr. Lutnick, Mr. Trump, local back by reviving his annexation talk, "Canada seems the benefits of being a State, without being sure?" he wrote on social media.

U.S. Trade Representative on the move: Grant, who led negotiations for Washington, pointed the finger at Ottawa late Friday. "New demands and walk back from Canada," says the real reason the agreement fell apart, he told reporters.

Canada, however, thought it had a deal with Mr. Grant, three of the sources said. The agreement reached late Tuesday, just after the 12th, Mr. Trump's new tariffs were not to kick in, prompted the President to put the terms on hold for three days until next of the past could be reached.

Although Mr. Grant is statistically responsible for negotiating trade deals and reports directly to Mr. Trump, Mr. Lutnick's department directly oversees the tariffs on same, used, aluminum, mercury and other safe charges, a Section of the Trade Expansion Act of 1978. The President also gave Mr. Lutnick broad-rece|BofA of all trade policy, including the New Can.

The tentative agreement reportedly would have cut the Trump's auto tariffs to 10 per cent from 10 per cent and preserved an exemption for U.S. content, out and tariffs to 10 per cent from 10 per cent with a four million-horse-pound (cited above the quota would have remained tariffed at 10 per cent), cut aluminum tariffs to 10 per cent from 10 per cent, and removed a 10-per-cent tariff from the U.S. market. The President would also have scrapped his last 10 years.

In exchange, Canada would coincide on several American documents, including the U.S. news, they tariffs against the U.S. auto industry, changing new licenses on allotants in the dairy supply management system, and renaming that provincial governments would become of American allotants. The American government programs.

The deal, from Ottawa's perspective, was already harsh. Canada would accept high tariffs and the U.S. government's long-rating of concessions in exchange for the President not yet long has levies even higher or adding more, but when the U.S. perceived written text of the agreement, it was even banished. The U.S. government is not

deal because he felt it wasn't sufficiently hard on Canada. Two of those sources also pointed to Percy Nusareo, another White House trade adviser, as building the Lutnick's position. Two sources said Mr. Lutnick was hearing from U.S. industries that control its countries trade but they against their Canadian competition.

Mr. Lutnick has a friend, Mr. Percy with Canada.

In June, these sources said, he had extraneous in getting the Trump administration to date his brakes on the planned opening of the Condie Rows license, brand Bridge from Winston, Ont, to Detroit.

One of these sources said that Mr. Lutnick wanted to make use that, before the bridge opened, there was an agreement in place to protect the profits of Matthew Norman, the United Millennium who owns the real Ambassador Bridge. Mr. Norman directed that million to a Trump campaign group earlier this year.

In the talk, the Canadian government had to agree to a U.S. rate over its ability to keep talk about Condie Rows and to share tell revenue with the U.S., even though Ottawa paid his full price for building the span. That agreement got the bridge opened a July.

At an event in Washington, a former Mr. Lutnick argued that the Canadian economy was dependent on the U.S. and Ottawa should therefore not play hard-off as trade negotiations "fight".

Between Mr. Carney's public comments and conversations with a half-dozen sources, several striking points that detailed the deal have become clear.

One was that the U.S. told Canada that the U.S. would be part of reduction for autos would not be able to fight vehicles and not to end- and heavy-duty trucks.

This would encounter the business of General Motors Co.'s Mark, Ont., plant, which produces the Chevrolet, Winesale, and Ford Motor Co.'s planned school of its Oakville, Ont., plant to build the 5' trims.

Another was that products that are aluminum would be included from the reduction in the aluminum tariff, one of those sources said, adding that Mr. Lutnick had pushed for this.

A third was that Canada got rid of requirements that U.S. streaming platforms, said a Netflix and Amazon Prime, promote Canadian content to users in Canada, including processing French-language content. One of the sources said that this demand was made more than 20% from the talks collapsed.

A final problem was also the deal would have obliged Canada to mirror U.S. trade restrictions against other countries. Mr. Carney did not make clear how wide-ranging this provision was and how broadly it would have applied.

Ottawa already agreed in 2018 not to make free trade deals with two-country countries in Canada. China, but the language in U.S. trade deals with Britain and other countries last year suggest that Washington wants to point to trade partners further in matching its treatment of countries and to which U.S. taking punitive measures. Such rules could support Mr. Carney's agenda of striking trade deals around the world.

The rules on same and more tariffs drew a sharp reaction from the Federal Air Control Agency of the half-dozen sources and another source. The Prime Minister needed Ontario's approval, along with all provisions for the U.S. and Canada to pay of the deal. The Premier and the auto industry

pushed Mr. Carney to get a better deal with the U.S.

Mr. Ford, these sources said also asked Mr. Carney for other concessions in order to agree to the deal: removing a federal car, but key from the 2018 industry and becoming tailpipe emission standards. The Premier tobacco in these U.S. countries, and after the deal collapsed but sent early-on to the Prime Minister.

Update to the Premier mid-week, and we agreed that the numbers as they were being processed did not work for the Canadian economy. The first that we needed to keep at it. It was going into his twisting with the PPL Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Association Association, said in a text message.

The Canadian said wanted the tariff car—over the U.S. parts in which to be extended to Canadian parts as well, while the American pushed back. A number of auto-industry agents have argued that Canadian car production is only profitably U.S. tariffs can be lowered into the low-impact-alges, otherwise, it is expected to have been made a solid writer since entirely in the big fashion and Value-based auto companies look to shift production to the U.S.

The digital trade rules were a particular problem in Quebec, where you are aware of the French language is a top policy imperative. A separate source said members of the federal cabinet from that previous year presented the Carney over it.

The breakdown in trade talks will extend the past that Canadian reporters have felt over the past year and could further shift business investment in the country.

This will be a body blow to North American competitiveness in this self-draining trade sign. A wheepling, non-alcoholable tar-

id is not sustainable or viable for business. Canadian Lungs, CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement.

The new levies, imposed under Section 1 of the Street-Overlay Act, are not to be left out and need for per cent of Canadian exports to the United States. While Ray Street economists estimate that the direct maximum excise impact will be relatively contained, the new tariffs could have a demand and project on the targeted sectors, including electronics, plants, paper products, furniture and home appliances.

Some of the economic impact will be determined by Ottawa's retaliation and the support it goes in place for affected businesses. The federal government has already spent billions on the past year because we affect all industries: retrol for new markets. Canadian countertariffs on U.S. goods will raise prices for these products in Canada. Mr. Carney has promised dollar-for-dollar rebaloney tariffs against the U.S. market.

A Rank of Canada study of Ottawa's retaliation last year found that prices for targeted products rose by about 5 per cent. The marketing and marketing costs of the percentage points to the overall inflation rate at the peak of the price shock.

One member of Mr. Trump's cabinet, meanwhile, said the trade talks directly to Canada's sales of specialty and such a was "bottled" for Ottawa to believe it could win a trade war with the U.S.

"The fact that we provide their security for them, and they take advantage of it?" Transports from New York, from Washington, from New York, on Sunday. "I think you're going to see Mark Carney come to the table because it's going to be devastating for his country."

He also incorrectly asserted that Canada "doesn't have a unit itzy."

In the U.S., the tariffs could cause economic problems for the U.S. importers and consumers who pay more than $1,000,000 for political problems for Mr. Trump. The President is already being hammered by accusations that he was on leave in driving influence.

Michigan Governor Gretchen McIntosh, who leads a swing state with equal international and Senate taxis in November, said American auto companies "are the difficult decision of law for off-takeovers" causing costs onto their customers.

This must and McNaughton literally cannot afford to keep paying these Republican tariff taxes for the U.S.

California Governor Gavin Stevens, a 1842 Democratic presidential contender in 2021 who often holds Mr. Trump on social media, was typically blunt.

"Our closest ally, Our critical building, is the U.S. and the U.S. building Canada with 85% tariffs. So worse. What the actual fault are we doing?"

Ottawa prepares tariff relief plan for businesses

Affected industries brace for financial disruptions as PM signals to help 'for as long as it takes'

MATTHEW SCACE

The federal government is expected this week to lay out its tariff relief plan for businesses both by the latest round of U.S. levies on Canadian imports, as provinces brace for the financial impact of a protracted trade battle.

One day after walking away from negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday signalled that he was prepared to help businesses withstand a lengthy trade war.

"We will support these businesses for as long as it takes," Mr. Carney said.

"In other words, beyond the life of this U.S. administration."

Mr. Carney said that the government will provide more details on tariff relief for businesses this week. He hinted that Ottawa will largely lean on the Crown-owned Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), which the federal government has tapped to deliver previous tariff relief programs.

On Monday, the Prime Minister is scheduled to announce "investments to defend our waters and strengthen our trade routes," at a news conference with Premier Christine Fritchette in Lárra, Que.

Mr. Trump's threatened to prevent tariffs on Ottawa-billion worth of goods sold to American customers each year took effect at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Both countries have blamed each other for the negotiations falling apart.

Mr. Carney has promised dollar-for-dollar tariffs on American imports beginning after Labour Day. University of Calgary economics professor Trevor Tomlin said in an interview he estimates those tariffs would generate roughly $5-billion in additional monthly tax revenue for Ottawa.

"That's a lot that they then can use to support individuals and businesses through this moment," Prof. Tomlin said.

The U.S. tariffs have targeted sectors primarily housed in Canada's most populous provinces. Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. Over the weekend, Canadian premiers attempted to prevent a united front behind Mr. Carney's decision to walk away from U.S. trade negotiations, but some improved caution over responding with regulatory tariffs.

Any new financial relief will add to billions of dollars already provided by the federal government to tariff hit Canadian businesses. In May, Ottawa announced a $1.5-billion program primarily to help businesses affected by tariffs on metal imports.

That program saw the BDC extend no interest and low-interest loans to industries that manufacture and export products containing steel, aluminum or copper. Mr. Carney said the BDC and regional development agencies

"will be the focal points for a limited number of easy-to-use that very effective programs."

"Part of what we're seeing is what the potential future limits are to the America in market."

The Department of Finance pointed to Mr. Carney's weekend comments when asked for more details on the forthcoming supports. Randall Bartlett, deputy chief economist at Desperate Group, said in an interview that these programs could cost upward of $5-billion, depending on uptake, but nowhere close to the income-support and business-relief programs created during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The federal government has sufficient fiscal room to implement programs easily within the hundreds of millions, if not push-billion-dollar-plus, in terms of money in the window," Mr. Bartlett said.

The new tariffs will take a heavy toll on certain provinces while others, such as Alberta and Saskatchewan, remain somewhat

immune from Mr. Trump's levies, Mr. Bartlett said.

Previous U.S. tariffs have already weighed heavily on provincial finances. Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government in March cited a sluggish economy hampered by tariffs when it tabled a $12.8-billion shortfall for the current fiscal year, and B.C. partly blamed its record $13.3-billion deficit projection on trade traffic-loses.

Mr. Ford said on Saturday that the trade war "will be painful" and that the government will support the steel and auto-sectors. He did not provide details. His office said he will speak to media on Monday in Hamilton.

B.C. Premier David Ely told reporters on Saturday that his government will work with Ottawa to deliver support for businesses affected by tariffs.

"There is no question that there will be economic pain associated with this. There already is. But it is necessary to stand up to a bully," Mr. Ely said.

Mr. Bartlett said the news tariffs will hit Quebec the hardest. He said its effective tariff rate could reach roughly to percent, up from about 0.5 per cent.

Mr. Fritchette, the Quebec Premier, has endorsed the Prime Minister's decision to walk away from U.S. proposals, such as removing bilingual labelling regulations. On Saturday, she wrote on social media that her government will be ready to "intervene where the imports will be the most significant" and urged Mr. Carney to help her province's businesses and workers.

Alberta, meanwhile, has been the province's best exposed to U.S. levies, with an estimated 1 to 2-per-cent effective tariff rate, according to its fiscal plan published in February. Premier Danielle Smith on Saturday said that only about 3 per cent of Alberta's exports to the U.S. are exposed to the most recent tariffs.

Separately, a multibillion-dollar chunk of Alberta's 20-4-billion projected deficit could have already been wiped out by high oil prices caused, in part, by Mr. Trump's continuing war with Iran and the subsequent closing of the Strait of Borough.

No Smith on Saturday cautioned against Canada applying regulatory tariffs but said the supports Mr. Carney withdrawing from negotiations. Next door, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, whose province is also mostly shielded from the U.S. tariffs, said on Saturday that he supported dollar-for-dollar regulatory levies on U.S. products.

Mr. Smith did not say whether Alberta will create its own support program for businesses.

Despite Alberta's minimal exposure to export tariffs, the trade war will have indirect effects that could still lead to significant job losses in the province, said the University of Calgary's Prof. Tomlin. "It takes a long time to manifest itself and by reality, personal and social of months, but Alberta's not spared just because it's not as directly affected," he said.

Defence procurement may come into play

Canada's next choice of fighter planes takes place in the February in wake of failed talks

PIPPA WOMAN CAVIN JOHN

Canada has kept its defence relationship with the U.S. largest on the audience of recent trade talks. But with negotiations broken down, experts say the likelihood of major defence procurement factoring into punitive measures takes by either sale is growing.

Table between the two countries collapsed on Friday just before President Donald Trump's latest rounds of traffic of 12 per cent on US$50-billion worth of Canadian exports came into effect. Days earlier, the U.S. and Canada had reached a tentative date, but Prime Minister Mark Carney pulled back at the last minute, staring that the U.S. had changed its terms.

Now, Canada is proposing to implement "dollar-for-dollar" country traffic starting Sept. 6, which the Trump administration will consider responding to with a further escalation of the trade over the Sunday U.S. Transportation Secretary Scott Duffy told U.S. News a way "I would" for Canada to think it could win a trade war with the Trump the also really claimed that Canada doesn't have a military.

Throughout the talks, on the Canadian side, defence has come up mostly in broad terms, said Erin O'Toile, former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and a member of Canada's Advisory Committee on Canada's U.S. Economic Relations.

Canada's lead negotiators made clear to the comments, he said, that the goal has been for the trade dispute not to effect other bilateral engagements, including military co-operation, little oil, Canada and the U.S. remain deeply integrated at an

operational level, through activities such as joint military tour, and and the North American Insurance Defence Company (NOKAD).

But the procurement of the actual equipment Canada is using in those operations as another characteristics, Mr. Carney, the said one from a news likely to be attracted by what's going on at a political level.

"The level of aggression shown against us cannot just be supplied off if has to be reopened," he said. The C&He and Mail from 8 that means recently being Canada's options when it comes to major procurement such as fighter join, he added.

Mr. Carney smutted a review of Canada's purchase of 60-yr in position insurance company Lady Neal Martin shortly after coming office in March, says: That's more is continuing and Canada's order has stalled at a legal commitment to buy per se per Masterville, the Sweden are building their case for Canada to buy the American port main competitor, the Swedish-made Gopas from aerospace and defence company built.

An ocean away from the trade negotiators nucleus in Washington last week, thousands of insurers and delegations from 17 allied air forces gathered at the National Alliance in Sweden for the centenary of the Swedish Air Force, where 8 yr and Gopas fighter join stood daily by sale.

On Saturday, Nicad debated on, had 5 president and chief executive, told The C&He he had learned of the collapsed trade talks that morning in the news. But his answer to Canada's局面 was not not to force a choice. "I don't think Canada will give up 5-yr completely. They won 4 course, go forward with that to some extent. I have no risk for one."

It's unfortunate that economic and diplomatic decision are affecting Canada's procurement approach at all, especially when it comes to looking out for the

country's best military interest, said Christopher Coates, former deputy commander of NOKAD and director of budget planning, and the United defence and national security at the Macdonald-Lanure Institute.

"Certainly, in the case of the 7-yr, there is no better option from a Canada or from a NOKAD perspective than the 5-yr," he said, adding that it's in Canada's best interest to our let's capture in trade effort its ability to defend North America alongside the U.S.

While Canada's relationship with the U.S. is based upon economics, the United States' relationship with Canada is based upon defence and security issues, said Regard Carbery, a former director-general within the Department of National Defense and principal architect of Canada's defence policy.

If the U.S. judges Canada's potentially motivated procurement decisions according to new policy, they are likely at risk, the economic consequences for Canada may only worsen, said Mr. Carbery, who's also a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Lanure Institute and Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

Therefore, Canadian must to figure out how to manage its relationship with the U.S. constructively, while simultaneously leveraging it to build up its own niche capabilities, she said.

"Canada's strength and always lie in being made the U.S. only," she said. "It needs something to protect against overtrash, and that means making itself indispensable."

While other industries such as automobiles are being provided by U.S. tariffs, the opportunity to share for Canada to print and sell this its strength in areas such as defence, said Eliot Press, CEO of Ottawa-based Dominion Dynamics, and a member of the Advisory Committee on Canada's U.S. Economic Relations.

"We can create leverage for ourselves if we decide to invest in ourselves."

Canadians ready to go elbow in as they break for tariff pain

ALEX BEDROVIC

Vinyl records from Target, and cauldoeser in the wintertime. These are a love thing: the Kawas family of New Westminster, R.C., plans to go without this year - part of the press of defending Canada's sovereignty.

After negotiations toward a new Canada-U.S. trade deal broke down Friday night, Canadian businesses were fearing themselves for the impact of new U.S. tariffs of 12 per cent on US$50-billion worth of Canadian exports, including most products and wine. But many members of the Canadian-produced sector also dealing ready to participate in what has become a fall on trade war.

They included Edward Kawas, a software engineer with VHPT in Vancouver and a married father of two. On Sunday, Mr. Kawas praised the decision by Prime Minister Mark Carney to abandon a liquidated negotiation with the Americans. "I thought the [proposed] deal sounded terrible, and was hoping that Carney would back away," Mr. Kawas said. "I started dancing when I saw the news."

On the weekend, Mr. Carney characterized the situation between the two countries as war. "You are at war when you are not ahead," he said. "We get attacked," Mr. Carney promised retaliatory tariffs. "I get nasty, 6 against American exports to Canada."

The news-based Mr. Kawas in a distant, elbow-up mood, he said his household has avoided American products since U.S. President Donald Trump was re-elected in late 2018, and they turned to double above. "No ethical everything and get nothing in return," Mr. Kawas said of the negotiations.

The created off-terms in event including vinyl records for the Canadian Armistice, the U.S. and the United States's only cauldoeser in American," he said. "But sometimes we'll just have to do without, And I'm telling the kids - we aren't going to be buying all the things you use in these videos."

The weekend, R.C. Premier David Day and Ontario Premier David Day, the Canadian Airport for the 2018 negotiations, while the premiere of Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island all showed his residents of those greatness to buy local.

This reflects a despoising of consumers' behaviour of the past few years. One highly visible example has been tourism. During Mr. Trump's second term, Canadian's trips to the U.S. dropped 25 per cent from 2013 to 2018. figures for this time showed only a slight reversal of that trend, at the same time, Mr. Trump's needs improved tariffs, are likely to better than data businesses, particularly manufacturers.

"I know there will be an impact on Canadians, regardless of where they live or what they do for a living," said Rick Pocock, a 4-Personian, "If we can't softmax, we may no long to make a look at the world's a better way."

But Mr. Pocock, who is retired from the aerospace industry, said he is proud to take some financial pain. "I think our taxes will go up, we'll have to pay for social services," he said. "But I'm ready to do that I'm ready to do my part even here," appealed to the United States.

Stephen Kathoulsen, 7, a retired publishing executive in Vancouver, said that 10% going to be challenging for many people," Mr. Trump "is a vengeful and mercurial individual," he said. "And I'm sure the situation is going to escalate." Mr. Kathoulsen said his household "will be able to manage the economic shock of our exports Ottawa's decision to stand firm, especially given U.S. demands to constrain Canadian trade with other nations. "That was a point from which we could not contact," Mr. Kathoulsen said. "We are a sovereign country."

In Winter from 1st, Que., Antons Leclares described this matter, "By measure of tariff, 'in the U.S. Canada relationship.' 'We're either going to stand up to this frailty or we're going to stand up to ourselves, he added, We achieve cardiac and many neighbours are concerned for the economic shock to come.' 'Quebec is particularly going to be hard hit, and small to medium-sized manufacturers are going to get hampered.'

She said, "If Canada relationship is compromised for years to come, 'and we might as well dig in our heels,' he said. Mr. Leclares, 'is, is a retired manager in the health care industry who spent much of his career working with and for American. He said Mr. Trump's attacks on Canada, pointing to 'a cause of death.'

"It's sort of personal, you know! It's very hurtful because we were so close. It's understanding, it's belligerent. I think [many] 'Quebecans feel much the same way.' He said. Mr. Trump's hostility has dropped his own patriotism. This summers, "I got a Canadian flag and hung it up on my dock," Mr. Leclares said. "I took me to years to do that."

With a report from The Canadian Press

Premier's connectivity issues during briefing highlight call service gaps

MATTHEW FRANK

Experts are calling for improved communications channels for Canadian leaders, after R.C. Premier David Day said he couldn't attend a vital all-premises meeting about U.S. trade negotiations last week because of poor cellular service.

Mr. Day said last Wednesday's meeting where Prime Minister Mark Carney briefed premiers on trade talks in Washington was about with other notice and he had "apprty interest and off-service" where he was located, so he sent Deputy Premier Niki Sharma in his place.

"I won't able to attend in the way that I wanted to be such an important meeting, and I think she did a good capable job of it in order to receive the update from the Prime Minister," he said during a Saturday news conference. "Canadian and U.S. officials spent days they in negotiations last week, as Ottawa attempted to reach a trade deal that would avoid U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariffs on US$50-billion in Canadian goods, and reduce the plan of other sectoral tariffs the White House enacted last year.

While Mr. Day attended a fur-

arday meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada's U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LaRue, after a tentative date, he was scrapped the night before, the R.C. Premier noted that those of his fellow premiers missed that update and sent their deputies New Brunswick, Newfoundland and the Northwest Territories.

No public reasons have been given for those premier absences and the three provinces didn't respond to The C&He and Mail's request for comment. Mr. Day's news told The C&He last week that he was so cautious with inconsistent call service during Wednesday's meeting with Mr. Carney.

Cellular service deal comes now plagued much of Canada and measures to improve the gaps have been slow. The C&He has previously expected that thousands of kilometres of Canadian highways often do not have any signal.

Across the country, roughly 4,000 kilometres - or 10,000 miles - of major roads have no mobile service, according to the Canadian Radio-television and telecommunications Commission. At Carney's office, 2,000 service gaps, with 10 per cent of its major roads lacking connection. Further, other communica-

tions systems, such as satellite technology, are mostly controlled by U.S.-based computer systems. The data, which is owned by tech mogul Elon Musk through his aerospace time-typicals.

As the trade war with the U.S. camps up, experts say Mr. Day's connectivity issues signal a broader problem that Canadian leaders need to address the lack of nationwide, state and public cellular service.

A mobile fieldstore, an associate professor in information and communication technology policy at Concordia University, and telephone accessibility issues questions about how critical Canada's telecommunications networks are and what channels are available for political leaders during emergencies.

His said Canada needs re-permittee issues communications in Southeastern for its leaders, particularly when Mr. Carney has characterized the breakdown of trade negotiations and U.S. demands as the country being "attacked."

"We seem to be moving into more and more precarious global landscape that requires a range of between-areas, which might action that I don't think we've encountered before," Prof. McKinsey said.

Christian Loepeche, a professor at the Royal Military College of Canada, said other countries such as the United States could be able to serve a national security priority and view it as a night, and Canada needs to do the same.

"The fact that we live in a country where some some three operators can still have difficulties with communications, says a lot about the value that politicians put in need about," he said.

The CBTC, a quasi-judicial body that regulates telecommy, has been made to make public interest, said last year it has set a goal of commuting over per cent of Canadian households and "a many major transportation roads as possible" to mobile wireless service by year.

The C&He and Mail service, however, a potential solution to being the gaps, has progress as slow.

Rogers in the only Canadian company that offers alternative mobile device satellite service. It allows for real message and emergency connectivity in areas beyond traditional coverage, including some dead zones. The range extends to all provinces up to 1,000 miles, and including the northern territories.

Tuba and Mali plan to launch similar services later this year.

The C&He previously reported Quebec-based satellite service company Toronto's Guinness bus, refusing to make a new service, said the cancellations to provide a dynamic, sovereign option for connectivity that doesn't rely on foreign computers such as PayPal.

Adam Madrid, former deputy chief of staff in Mr. Day from his curable, 2022, to January, 2020, said it's common for premiers to send deputies to first standard meetings because of prior commitments, such as trade missions or business, and that it is necessary.

"People would like to publish this in every place, and if the things all at once, and all the time that there are going to be, you know the occasional time where they will need to have a common fill in the meetings," she said in an interview.

Premiers are typically available in newspapers, but poor cell service can prevent them from being used in local meetings. Mr. Madrid added.

Nelson Woodland, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Toronto, said it was "perfectly reasonable" for Mr. Day to send the deputy to last week's meeting.

"If you send a deputy, they are able to articulate your position," he said.

Americans, too, are wondering why the U.S. and Canada are embroiled in a trade war

Thirteen U.S. states border Canada and have a stake in the relationship

New centuries ago, the theologian Moses Mammoths, seeking to understand the complexities of life, wrote a vitamin called The Code for the Prophets.

The book, which is based on the state of the Canada U.S. relationship after the allegations of a bilateral death in a traditional sanity are perpetrated—but have no quality.

Needy was decades ago, the WR Kiewisian Network created a TV drama called that it shifts to which there were friends and resulting influence from a system that tars conflict called the “War of the America,” he was on the period in which that show aired—Paul Martin was prime minister—could have taken the notion seriously, and decided to use it would have struggled that when a prime minister in a cat spoke of Canada being at war, the opponent would be the United States.

Mark Gorsey—who said “Canada is becoming stronger and less dependent on America”—needy meant the word “war” enough to be a part of the phrase American philosopher William James employed in a famous war speech. “The West of quicksilver of War,” or in relation to the trade war that has been stemming since Donald Trump’s first term, only to break into wildfire flames in recent days.

The book, which was seen two conflicted in the India-Pakistan hostilities that have flared for three quarters of a century. It’s more like the Anglo-South trade fight of the 19th century. though this war involves two countries that were, since the years

She also question is whether this is a permanent break or merely another temporary bar against the capital. She the two countries’ long ago military conflicts: the trypan system of Quebec, the War of the Land, the House raids of 1996 and 1997; the two suggests that while the Gorsey is right that Canada’s war to the United States can now in a different form, they have not been covered completely.

“This isn’t the end of anything,” said Christopher Raging, the emeritus World University economist who author of Canada’s most widely used post-

secondary economics in the book. “It’s the beginning of another policy tarnment from Donald Trump: the wanted a political who and didn’t get it. And it’s the first time to be the first war that will be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time to be the first time

Prof. Raging said this episode may be a probable turn to a world in which countries everywhere gave more persuasion.

“If you care about your industries and supply chains, you may have to pay an economic price,” he said. “If we’re going to do better our trade away from the U.S., there may be a price to pay. But it may lead to more economic security for us all.”

Dr. Gabe large segments of the U.S. political world are troubled by this development. Thirteen American states border Canada and have a stake in Canada-U.S. trade and tourism. The evasion was seen from several political figures from those border states.

“Canada is not our enemy—any suggests

Democratic Senator Patty Murray of Washington, a statetimes Canada is the largest trade partner, said in a social media post that “Trump owes our friends and neighbours an apology for nearly a year of his favorite details and years.” Democratic Governor Kathy Hockall of New York spoke of the President “wouldn’t prolong lights with our allies and zoning prices here at home.”

Canada needs to also important its states far from the border. The absence of U.S. alcohol from Canada’s liquor stores, for example, affects the states but by two governors likely to run for the former. The state government, information in a cash Gavin Newsom of California (wine) and Jayde Buehner of Kentucky (burdens).

But Canada can expect to succeed if Vice President Bill Gates of the insurance to Mr. Trump. He recently taunted Canada and knocked the Gorsey.

“It’s always regrettable when our relations are determined, and the clear that the U.S. is at both here,” said Douglas Irwin, the Dartmouth College economist against the leading American academic expert on trade. “But let’s hope: the Americans come to face unison, decide the friction isn’t worth it, and the two countries get back to negotiating.”

“But,” he added, “the Canadians have to realize it won’t be over until this administration is over.”

Zelensky says dismold defense minister was misguided, warns election could split Ukraine

SANITA KULLAS CITY

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his fellow co-leven (also) by dismissal defense minister Mylshalin Fedorov, including his involvement in mass protests and calls for an election, were misguided, as he publicly decided their dispute for the first time.

Mr. Zelensky also alluded to problematic decisions over defense spending and said inaccurate information provided by the Defense Ministry contributed to an unknown Government (U.S.) President Donald Trump over the use of fearfuls in Russia.

Mr. Zelensky disclosed figures showing Ukraine’s growing shortage of Patriot and defense minister needed to counter Russian ballistic attacks, with deliveries from Western after declining in the past three years even as Russian missile strikes intertwined.

He highlighted battlefield gains, however, saying Ukrainian forces have almost completely recaptured the Dnipropetrovsky region, with only about to square kilometers retraining under Russian rule.

He made the remarks during a two-hour off-the-record meeting with reporters on Saturday, with a transcript released publicly on Sunday.

His committee ranged widely covering the latent battlefield developments, efforts to counter Russian ballistic attacks, the state of peace negotiations, Ukraine’s budgetary challenges and the political issues of the economy. He further is dismissed.

“I really had a lot of difference, every positive attitude toward Mylshalin. We have been through a lot together. But the love that he himself goes, so is pushed into the wrong things,” he said.

Mr. Fedorov is popular minister credited with representing Ukraine’s armed forces and accelerating the military’s embrace of technology and defense workers, was dismissed last month after reportedly falling out with the country’s top military command at the removal of regional mass protests that lasted for weeks but ultimately failed to make a decision. In the decision, Mr. Fedorov later called for an election in a video address. Mr. Zelensky said he had offered Mr. Fedorov four different options to continue working in government. Mr. Fedorov, he said, was a political prowess.

The Ukrainian leader told journalists that he believes building an election during the war would be a huge role with potential to “split Ukraine apart.”

“Vedovre elections during a war like this would generally pose enormous risks. Neither the United States would be a竞데ant for the state that would split Ukraine apart,” he said.

Mr. Zelensky said he had previously faced pressure to hold an election during the war but to put more had come up with a plan for how a puff could be held safely, legitimately and democratically.

Mr. Zelensky appeared to look Mr. Fedorov to an awkward episode involving fearfuls and Elon Musk. Mr. Zelensky said that earlier the year the Defense Ministry had been working on U.S. war, and that the Ukraine is our fearfuls over Russian territory to carry out deep-orthodopied actions, subject to political approval.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives for a ceremony to reach National Flag Day, amid Russia’s attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv on Sunday, on 24/25 (Chelsea) to the

Acting on that, Mr. Zelensky said, he raised the issue directly with Mr. Trump. He told Mr. Trump that Mr. Musk had confirmed the proposal that Mr. Zelensky said the two sides subsequently sought Mr. Musk’s confirmation and dishonored liberating for the people.

But at a later meeting, Mr. Zelensky said Mr. Trump told him that Mr. Musk had rejected the proposal and accused him of having needed the U.S. President Mr. Musk considered the move a dangerous escalation, according to Mr. Zelensky.

He said that that supposedly disconcert him because Musk had denied Ukraine the use of fearfuls on Russian territory. I write back to our Ministry of Defense and they said that neither is war on,” he said.

Mr. Zelensky did not explicitly accept Mr. Fedorov of lying, his said this episode was among the reasons behind “some of the steps.”

Mr. Zelensky also pushed back against prominent’ vilification of former army chief General Oleksandr Perits, whom he dismissed, and carried Defense Minister Marjor General Yonkin Klimara, saying they had gone too far.

“Maybe someone doesn’t like [to-day] for one reason or another. But the danger. You say to the news, Klimara is the devil,” he said. “Listen, this is too much. Do you understand the principle, you can’t trust the military like this and tolerate it, especially when it was the military that made it possible for any peaceful protests to take place in the Ukrainian capital of all?”

The President also described every financial pressure on Ukraine’s defense in fact. He said the Defense Ministry faced a UN’s-Ehibition budget shortfall after spending decisions earlier in the year brought forward funds originally intended for the second half of year.

Teaching new corruption probe that led Mr. Zelensky to fire one of his most senior officials this week, he said only corruption investigators do not believe the President was involved. The investigators had spent a different head of the presidential office among the suspects in a money-laundering case.

“The heads of anti-corruption agencies

have zero questions for me. They understand perfectly well that I am not involved in anything like that. And this is important to me,” he said.

On the battlefield, Mr. Zelensky was oppressive. In addition to Ukraine almost completely regaining control of the first-propetrovsky region, he said that another operation was under way elsewhere and that its results were expected by the end of August.

In also prediction that by the end of the year, Ukraine could reach parity between the territory occupied by Russia once the beginning of the year and the territory established in Ukrainian forces. Mr. Zelensky said that Russia had occupied almost one square kilometre since the start of the year, while Ukraine had reached control over roughly five square kilometers.

The President said that Russia’s principal objective remained the Konstantinivets’ first-march boumotork axis, and that Moscow was still demanding that Ukraine withdraw from the first-marginal as a condition for a settlement.

Mr. Zelensky said that Ukraine was receiving substantially fewer Patriot-utop-ceptor missiles over as Russian ballistic attacks are increasing.

He said that Ukraine was on the first Patriot missiles in 2025, compared with its air 2025 and an equal of six, the year Mr. Zelensky said that he wanted to secure you additional of Patriot missiles for the coming winter, while Ukraine’s air force had requested it.

The President also particularly unseen, because the United States’s military operations are struggling to expand production. Mr. Zelensky said that he hoped Ukraine could obtain even a per cent or so per cent of U.S. reserves and was able to pay for them.

Mr. Zelensky said that Russia could eventually produce up to 2,500 ballistic missiles a year, compared with an estimated current capacity of 600. He said that Ukraine was also preparing alternatives to Starbils, including a European communication project, to make public films work on their own competing system.

Iran calls support for new U.S. measures an ‘act of war’

The new head of Iran’s top security body wanted freedom that Tehran will not any country’s support for new U.S. economic measures against the Islamic Republic as an ‘act of war’, while Iran’s peace policy defined it a more significant understanding with the United States as the best way out of the stalled conflict.

Treasury Secretary Scott Benson on Monday is requested to announce the new measures after the U.S. would to impose an ‘unprecedented’ level of economic warfare and endation on a country that has lived for decades under war.

The new House leader of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, issued his list not warning on X, with the comments quickly shared by Iranian state insists.

It came a day after the Rezaei’s most extensive public comments since being named to the post this month.

Mr. Rezaei, a former Revolutionary Guard commander and military adviser to Supreme Leader Arjandula Mopaba, Rasmussen, was part of senior appointments widely over as hardening Tehran’s political and military stance.

Iranian President Masoud Fereishian (after Sunday) said the memorandum of understanding signed as mid-time was the best way to make the state a situation of “neither war nor peace,” adding that Tehran can’t attract investment nearly six months after the war began.

“There is not a single provision in this agreement that amounts to capital loss,” Mr. Fereishian said in a speech published by state-run IRIS. “The supreme leader sets the policies, and we will follow that path.”

Inside the cockpit of Air Transat 236 with the pilot who saved the day

Robert Piché reflects on the moment in 2008 when a plane carrying 306 people became a glider over the Atlantic, with story by Nicolas Van Praet

On Aug. 24, 2016, Air Transat flight just ran out of that town with Atlantic Ocean on its way from Toronto to Lisbon. At the controls was Robert Piché, a 40-year-old Qualtruder with a cool temperament and a pant he was diagnosed to liver cancer.

Dressed the alternate and an insistent to survive, Mr. Piché stunned the powerless A380 airliner for 10 minutes to the nearest piece of land. The plane touched down at the Lapis military air base on the island of Toronto, as the Azores, roughly a 200 kilometers west of Portugal.

All 200 passengers and 10 crew members survived, and Mr. Piché was hailed as a hero. To this day, it could not be a good place to a passenger jet.

With the three came momentarily dishonour when reporters dug up his personal history and published the details. After an early career as a bank pilot, Mr. Piché fell into drug smuggling. In 1975, after a run from Jamaica, he was caught in an airfield in Georgia, U.S., with cannabis in his cargo-hold. He was sentenced to five years in a foreign prison and served 10 months—an experience he now says is directly tied to the outcome of flight 236.

Mr. Piché also struggled with long-term dependency on alcohol. In 2007, in 1998 he was the first time to be a 40-year-old man at a foundation to support treatment for people with addiction, helping them fight the same demons that nearly two lives down the also began giving motivational talks.

When I caught up to Mr. Piché in Mont Tremblant, Que, in July, I found a man at peace with his past, but still speaking with surprisinginance and candour. Wearing a pink T-shirt, grey sheets and sandals, he had been a little bit of a stunt. He urged me to write a story 'with a view of inspiring people.' He follows that to him.

Here's what the aviation legend had to say, with a few notes of our own.

At 10:15 UTC (8:30) (2:00) on Aug. 24, 2016, Air Transat Airline A380 departs from Toronto Pearson International Airport bound for Lisbon. On board air 200 passengers and 10 crew members, including Captain Piché and First Officer Dirk de Jager. At the plane is loaded with about 20 tonnes of fuel—40 tonnes more than the regulated amount required for the planned flight.

How did that day begin?

I had flown into Toronto and was assigned the flight to Lisbon—it's all done by computer. I tried to get someone else to take it because my wife's friend was getting married, and we were excited. But it didn't work out. We were supposed to stay two days in Lisbon and then fly back. It started like any other flight. It was routine.

Nearly four hours after takeoff, at 4:30, a component assigned in at the last minute causes a fuel line on the plane's borrowed right Rado-Royce engine to crash.

The engine begins to leak fuel at a rate of 15 tonnes an hour into the Atlantic Ocean.

Around 5:00, during a mandatory position check, the crew system around engine of indications on the right engine.

What was the initial problem?

It started with the oil pressure and temperature. The readings didn't make sense. If I was a mechanic, I might have understood.

But given that this was some-

thing that happens to rarely, even a mechanic might not have figured out the problem right away. The computer system was showing us a fuel imbalance instead of a leak.

At 10:15, an advisory flashes on seven, and Mr. Piché and Mr. de Jager were asked to be able to see the two engines. They trampled fuel from the left engine to the right, a procedure Mr. Piché performs from memory. Faster minutes later, the plane has 8,000 kilograms. But just then it should—not enough to reach Lisbon. The crew outlaws to cut air traffic control that it's short of fuel and downing to one Lapis.

Mr. Piché has lagged in two flight hours. Mr. de Jager gave, in all that time, notice of the pilot's run over encountered a fuel leak or an exploded low-fuel reading. Before, either in training or while in the air.

You were never able to confirm that there was a leak, were you?

No. I was thinking that this couldn't be happening in the middle of the ocean, on the most sophisticated commercial airliner flying at the time. It didn't make any sense. We should have understood that there was a leak. But the computer—that's not what it was telling us.

When an advisory warning flashes, you don't want the fuel page to come up. The personalization page, the heating system, the electrical, the hydroatics, maybe. But not that. You're in the middle of the ocean. You try to process that as the captain, but your human side says, 'Today, we're going to do.' People sometimes think I wasn't scared because I landed the plane, but that's not the case. When the fuel page came up, I was scared right away.

Around 5:00, the pilot took the cabin now—led by flight director Melvin Tasic—to visually check the wings

and engines for a possibly fuel leak. An 80-passenger watch fire in flight moves. Obviously, a rewinder of the crew shines a flashlight toward the wing. But it's pitch-dark outside. They see nothing.

If it had been a daytime flight, would the flight attendants have seen the leak?

The passenger sitting behind the right engine would have seen the leak and pressed that calf-burning drag. That kind of observation has served me in the past, while I was flying on the Lockheed L-1000. We had a double leg, and during one step, a passenger pointed out to the flight director that something on the wing wasn't right. One of the airplanes was detached. It weren't for him, we might have flown on. That passenger did as a favour.

As if a passenger on 200 had seen the leak, I would have seen the best officer to check. Then we would have done the procedure for a two of fuel.

The accident report found you didn't follow the fuel-check protocol.

Yes, I was blamed for that.

Did you agree with that conclusion?

Yes and no. I'm an old drowsant. Young people today would probably react differently, because they rely on computers too yet. I come from an older system. I didn't come into this world with an iPad or my hands. Like many people in my generation, I had to learn to use computers.

The report also says that if you had accepted the practice that the plane was spilling fuel, then according to the protocol, you would have to descend to 30,000 feet. But at that altitude, you weren't sure you'd have enough fuel to get much further, since aircraft from more fuel at lower altitudes.

If I had followed that procedure, we would all be dead. The first officer was sitting on the procedure. But I said 'no, no, no.' In that situation, altitude becomes my fact.

At 10:15, the plane's fuel-starved right engine flown to air.

I'm remains later. Mr. de Jager declares 'explain.' At 5:30, with flight 236 still 200 kilometers away from Lapis, at an altitude of roughly 20,000 feet. He left engine shut down, too.

Inside the cabin, the lights go out and everything gets done, except for the sound of air buffering the fuselage. 'We're going to do,' one passenger screams.

What was it like in the cockpit?

It was calm, but we were both on edge. The prospect of doing was there. De Jager was more closed off the sea at and already a co-prior on an A380.

Were you aware of what was happening in the cabin?

No. We have a communications protocol—the flight director in in charge back there. And when we have a problem in the cockpit, it's them we advise.

Then, the flight director advises the other flight attendants and the passengers. At the start, the briefing I gave to the director was that she prepares the cabin for a flicking at sea. That was the worst-case scenario. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Meanwhile, in the cabin, passengers alternately gasp, scour and prop. Oxygen made drop from the ceiling. Through time, a Portuguese speaking flight attendant delivers an announcement telling passengers to prepare for an exam binding.

Some passengers described a lot of screaming. 'We didn't hear that?'

No. You're focused pretty hard in the moment. You know, when you get into, I'll call it the zone, you're in a bubble. It's a high level of concentration. Everything kind of slowed down, it's adrenaline, survival instinct.

What was going on in your head when the second engine stopped?

I remember lowering my head and saying, 'This can't be happening.' Through hard work and determination, I had gotten back to being the captain of a big jet, which I should have been long before I went to power. I'm on the most sophisticated plane you can fly, and it's now a glider over the Atlantic, at night, with 200 passengers on board. This can't be happening. Why not? you know! And when I raised my head, I saw that the plane was reaching well. That's when I decided to keep my altitude as long as possible.

How do you maintain altitude without engines?

Two play with the stall warning. When a plane has no power and

Retired Air Transat pilot Robert Piché is pictured last week at Montreal's Tredoux International Airport 'I learned how to fly on the job,' Mr. Piché says. HEARING THE GLOBE AND MAIL

you keep it level, it loses speed. And when it loses speed, it will stall. So when there was a warning, I'd drop the nose a little bit to keep one or two knots faster than the warning. It didn't allow me to keep the plane level, but we didn't describe it. I'm not going to get to the island. And there's because, 'At worst, I'm going to land in a fold on the island. It was a gradual realization that I'd be able to get to the airship.

How do you control a dead stick?

A journalist once asked Tiger Woods how he could win to some man with one stroke. He said, 'On competition weekends, when I'm able to get to the nose, it's like I became my club.' Meaning that when he hits the field, he knows exactly where it's going to go because he state of concentration at no maximum. He's focused on nothing else. So it's not something you know so you don't know. I became the plane. Do you understand?

At a certain moment, you saw the runway of Laps.

The first thing we did was ask the control issue to flash the runway lights. So I could see the island, not a little drive of light. When I leave I'd get to the airport, it became like one more landing, like the kind I'd been doing for 30 years.

You circled onto before landing.

We did a job. That was to calm my first officer. I didn't want him to jump on the controls. He kept telling me, 'We're too high, too fast.' But he didn't know what was going on in my hand. I wanted to be too high, too fast, so that I could keep some speed and altitude in one's handrail. It from his perspective, landing a normal plane in normal conditions, he could see that we were too high. His reaction was normal.

But he did his job, which is to follow orders. That's what you learn in the simulator. I always give him an honourable mention because he did what he needed to do. I don't know if I would have done the same thing in his place, flying with a guy I barely knew. I think I would have jumped on the controls.

I thought you circled to get lower for landing.

That's what we do normally when we arrive at an airport, and we're too high and too fast. A big plane is like a 20-wheeler on the road. It doesn't stop like a Volkswagen stops. You've got to slow down. You've got to be in the slot.

But were you too high and too fast?

For sure - I had to be. You can't be too low and too slow. As a captain of a big jet, you're always too miles ahead of your plane. You've always got to be planning further ahead. Even if the chances are so per cent that you'll land, you've got to prepare for the so per cent. You can't be caught with one pants down at the last minute.

What could you use out the window?

It was still dark. You have to be at the right place at the right time, at the right speed. But the speed was too high to keep the nose up and not stall. So I didn't know when I needed to lose altitude, when I should go down. My concern was lowering the wheels.

The gear doors open, the wheels come down and the door shuts again. But this time, the down didn't slow, and that would produce drag. So I'd need to come down 2,500 feet per minute to keep my speed and not stall. If I wasn't high enough, I'd crash you feet before the runway. That's why I wanted to keep my altitude. My worry was the wheels.

At 6:45, the plane hits the Laps runway hard, at roughly 270 kilometres

an hour, and bouncer once.

Passengers are pitched forward as the plane cringes and grinds to a stop. Some of them begin to show and applaud, until the crew starts rushing there toward the exit didn't there's a fear the aircraft could or pluck on the ground. But when a total small free spots near the landing gear, they're immediately extinguished by crash responders. During the evacuation, at passengers and two members of the sailor crew are injured. As for the plane, it shows signs of structural damage to the fuselage and main landing gear.

So when you landed, you bounced, and almost all the time exploded.

Yes. The wind was coming from the side, and in a big plane like that, when the wind hits from the side, it tends to move. So you're

Sailor passage

When an Air Transat Airbus A320's engines formed out near the Atlantic because of a fuel leak on Aug. 28, 2001, he arrived justly described as a set of aviation roles called ETDPS. Throughout its route, a plane with twin engines itself be close enough to emergency direction projects that it can get to you in a fixed time, even if an engine were disabled. For the Air Transat flight, the limit was 120 minutes. However, for a large portion of the time, they were within one hour of each airline ETDPS. A plane might choose a more direct route that could still stand there in danger if something aren't wrong.

get to put it down, touch the wheels, stay in the middle of the runway. All of that is complex and, but it happens fast. And that's where experience counts. When I bounced once, I said, 'I'm going to brake on the off-road as the plane sticks.' As soon as the plane touched down again, I headed. That prevented another bounce, and the time exploded.

You've said prison helped you in that moment. How?

They and night, you're dealing with the possibility of a physical attack, a sexual attack. And you can't let on that you're bothered by it, so they. You've got to stay cool, because if you don't look cool, you become vulnerable. You've always got to be ready.

When you landed, you high-flood your foot officer.

Yes, and I said, 'I told you we would land it.' That's easier to say after the fact than before.

The dazed passengers stumble into the tiny Laps terminal, where they wait for several hours before being ill. I levelled in the nearby U.S. Air Force barracks. Before long, they're shuttled to the ferry docks, where a few hour foot ride delivers them to another airport, from where they're taken to Lisbon.

Mr. Piché is the last person to leave the plane.

You received no training for this.

Correct. Now, I think they have a protocol for something like that. With my past as an offender, I didn't follow procedure - not because I'm better than someone else or smarter. It's that I had this survival instinct. I developed in prison.

Do you think there's too much trust in technology now and not enough condoms given to pilot instinct?

That's not for me to say. But I will say that the young first officers I flew with at the end of my career were highly trusting of electronics. Today, it's about minimizing human situation making to maximize human error. The statistics tell the tale. In the 1990s, when commercial aviation started crashes were higher.

Ofting a plane when everything is going well, any penguin can do that with a lot of experience. But you're always waiting for what could happen. And that pending problem happened to me. Being captain of a big jet is a big respon-

sibility. And technology is maybe stripping away that side of it.

What do you say to people who ask why Robert Piché pushed the transfer valve that shifted the fuel to the leading side of the plane?

Because he's an old dinosaur. I learned how to fly on the job. When I started to work in prison, there was no formal training. The boss said to me, 'Get in, and we'll show you how it works.' So you develop reflexes that someone with structured training, good training, who starts fly on the right away at Air Canada, might never have.

Do you accept criticism that your decision worsened the situation?

Of course, it's didn't have that side to me, I should have understood that it was a fuel leak and shut down that engine.

The accident investigation - led by the Portuguese flight authority and assisted by the Transportation Safety Board, Transport Canada, Air Transat and engine maker Kello-Meyer - took more than three years to complete.

It found that several factors contributed to the accident, including a maintenance error by the airline. The report recommended improvements to the leak detection systems on board all (e.g. aircraft along with improved checklists, flight manuals, pilot training, as well as the procedures and regulations governing the replacement of major components.

As for the crew, the report found that they federally correctly evaluate the situation and follow procedure for a fuel leak. Nonetheless, it noted that Mr. Piché's skill several a full-end始终 send out of all per-lives on board.

Do you think a lot about Flight 236 these days?

I don't have to think about it - get ahead about it constantly. People on the street, everywhere. It's been going on for 30 years. I do corporate conferences. We do no publicity for those and people still come.

And what's your message?

It's about stress management, handling adversity. How do you make a decision when you know you're going to die? It's like to the army, the sergeant who says, 'We're going through the wall, feed there's panther on all sides, but don't worry, we'll make it.' How do you follow the sergeant's because he also believes it. For a cause of his experience, adrenc- time - all of that mental together.

You said you often ask the question 'Why me?' Have you ever come to an answer?

I think it was maybe I was chosen. Why did this not happen to someone who had a more normal part? I'm in anonymous association a lot because I was an alcoholic. It's been 24 years. At 6A, the worst of those who are there are asthma captains. What happened on Flight 236 you were credibility to my words, to help alcoholics. That's a piece of this answer. If this hadn't happened, I'd probably be dead from alcohol. The way I drank was sunk, you know? This was a chance to reclaim what I did on the U.S.

And I didn't follow protocol in the sky. But as I said, altitude became my fuel. I know I was going against the industry, especially against Airline and their procedures. I know I was David against I should, but it wasn't done sitting in the cockpit. It was me.

This interview has been called and condemned.

EDITORIAL AND CO.

EARLY WALNUT

The subject who is truly liquid in the chief negotiable will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary resources. Ames.

Canada's sovereignty is not negotiable

Prime Minister Mark Carney's move to have Canada leave the negotiating table and abandon the trade deal offered by the U.S. was the right decision. No prime minister could sign a deal that would result in giving up Canadian sovereignty.

The terms that had been discussed during the past week would have locked in disadvantages for Canada. American negotiators could the threat of a new wave of tariff on a cut-off goods as a weapon to push Canada into accepting slightly reduced tariff onto on other key sectors, despite the fact that all these tariffs are violations of the USNCA trade deal.

However, additional demands in the final hours of negotiations made it clear that Ottawa couldn't agree to America's terms. Gallaugh, the U.S. sought to restrict Canada's ability to have other trade deals. This would have reduced Canada to a second-class visual state. It would give up free access to other markets, while having only limited access to the markets of what would be in de facto maitre.

A request from the Americans to remove French-language labelling on some products was also untenable. Removing the requirement in order to reduce a hassle for American exporters would be an abandonment of bilingualism and would stir up a formerly sent in Quebec. It could have big consequences, particularly with Quebec potentially on the eve of another separation referendum.

Likewise, a last-minute change regarding autos was unacceptable. Canada had reportedly agreed to look in auto tariffs at a per cent, a rate that would get the cut-off at all, yet the U.S. demanded more, wanting to exclude some types of trucks from that rougue agreement.

An earlier request from the U.S. for the right of first refusal for critical minerals was also problematic, as it would have limited Canada's ability to trade these valuable commodities, some of which have military uses, to other partners. It would erode Canada's independence and reverse progress made in forging relationships with other CF countries wanting to secure access to critical minerals.

There are still many unknowns about the negotiations. Ottawa should provide clarity on what was discussed, particularly as all Canadians will be impacted by the escalating trade war.

The countertariffs Canada plans to apply on some American imports are a tax that will drive up costs for Canadian businesses and consumers. They might serve a short-term political purpose, but their economic rationale is limited. The ultimate goal should be to return to free trade as soon as possible.

For now though, it's clear that free trade between the U.S. and Canada, which has been so often since 1984, is effectively dead. Even if Ottawa had signed this deal, it would have only led to a momentary fall of tension. Previous concessions from Ottawa haven't resulted in trade peace, and at any moment, President Donald Trump could impose new tariffs without warning or justification.

Mr Carney called the U.S. strategy a power play, and he's right to point out that it raises questions of sovereignty. The President's triumphant announcement that a deal had been made when it hadn't, and the Vice President's mockery of the Prime Minister, show that the motive is subjugation, not co-operation. In a recent speech, Vice President Di Vance acknowledged that "the whole point of this is to change Canada's behaviour . . . in a European direction."

Canada's foundations remain strong, and the country can endure the continued economic and political shocks that are easily coming from its southern neighbour. Progress has been made in opening up new markets, and Canada's service moves, which isn't subject to U.S. tariffs, can be a driver of growth.

Canada's move to walk away from America's demands is making headlines around the world, and hopefully it could lead other global leaders to push back more. Most countries have been reluctant to use countertariffs. International pressure was able to get Mr. Trump to back off from annexing Greenland, and a initial front on other issues could help Canada. This country can be a model, and its unique values and strengths are worth protecting. If citizens are willing to do the hard work to do so – a subject this space will discuss tomorrow.

Walking away from this deal will cause Canada real pain, but in the long term, it was necessary Canada's sovereignty is never negotiable.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

HON WORST

Re "Canada at 'war,' will retaliate after trade talks with U.S. full. Carney says "I believe, Aug. (c) Good for Mark Carney and his team for standing up to Donald Trump and refusing to be bullied into a bad deal."

We know this was coming, Mr. Carney told us to brace for difficult times.

We've seen this before. Mr. Trump's either but tactics were hardly a surprise.

So now Canada gets on with it. There will be pain, but spending the next two years hanging on every whim from the White House would cost us far more. This is our chance to find out what we've had hiding under our hopes are along.

Meanwhile, Mr. Carney is looking across oceans and toward new partners rather than waiting for Washington to decide our future. And November is coming quickly. It looks like it may be shillier down south than up north this year.

Rosberg Beatty Santa, Ont

Mark Carney may have explained why talks failed, and the last-minute American demands may well have been unacceptable that explaining failure is not the same as solving the problem.

Canada cannot afford to walk away from negotiations with its largest trading partner and leave on clear path back to the table. This is not the time for political pride, protesting of future games. Canadian farmers, manufacturers, forestry workers, businesses and families will ultimately pay the price if these tariffs continue.

I believe a strong government keeps negotiating. It defends Canada's interests, compromises, where reasonable and vicious to the table again and again until an acceptable agreement is reached. Walking away is not strength, getting the job done is.

For negotiations that were described only days ago as being "very close," their collapse signals a serious failure of government Canadians deserve much better.

P. Patricia Gray Calgary

Any country that cannot find an equitable, mutually beneficial trade agreement with Canada is probably not looking for one.

Such an agreement requires respectful pro-and-take in negotiations. Without respect and with an invaluable need to take, there can be no such agreement.

Mark Carney did the right thing.

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE

Re "Americans push back on anti-Canada campaign" (Report on

Business, Aug. (a); It feels a bit early for the American geologist to come out of the woodwork.

The overriding American reaction I have seen to their country's ongoing attacks on Canada have been breathtaking ignorance, indifference, opportunism and the occasional half-hearted story.

Their overall silence when it matters continues to echo hardly and should be remembered when we think about our American "friends".

Allen Sutherland Ottawa

PUSH RACE

Re "The USNCR is poading the U.S. into pulling its funding – and putting itself on existential risk", Aug. (b). The global collapse regime is a mess and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Sears some responsibility for it.

But it is argued that the current High Commissioner "signified his preference for the status quo" by refusing to appoint Donald Trump's candidate, an anti-antium the High Foundation analyst, as his deputy. To the contrary, I find this decision was break with the status quo of unwitting at deputy high commissioner anyone put forward by the United States, the agency's major funder, regardless of their qualifications. If anything, it should be a signal that he has more courage than his predecessors.

It is also suggested that the "best way to prove USNCR is responsible" would be to have not one, but two deputies, only one of whom would be deserving the U.S. This from a committee who (rightly) laments that USNCR has become a multibillion-dollar bureaucracy?

MORE ON GENDER DYSPROBIA

Re "On gender dysphoria" (Lutton, Aug. (c)). The call for avoidance found care is a crucial theoretical, how we interpret and apply that evidence is equally important.

When a letter calls for more research while making what I find to be misleading claims about existing research, it ends disturbing from the main goal ensuring youth receive proper care and support.

While research on the long-term effects of puberty blockers are to ongoing, we should not allow these uncertainties to fuel political rhetoric and demonstrations. We should listen to youth, their families and their doctors determine whether we made through careful, individualized assessment.

As a consumer worker supporting SECURITY, youth, I have seen Brothand the harm that stigma-timing language, transphobic narcotics and inpatient care issues. Public discussion should remain supportive, particularly as transgender people face increasing hostility and political scrutiny.

Health Canada should promote rigorous research, informed consent, individualized assessment and long-term follow-up – an political pressure from either side.

Madeline Stead Toronto

The Case Report, which was used as evidence for the British puberty blocker ban, has been widely criticized. It consolidates data from seven systematic reviews, which have cash been found to have a high risk of bias in a study published last year in BMC Medical Research Methodology.

Recent data on puberty blockers tends to show low regret rates. A systematic review recently published in the International Journal of Transgender Medicine consolidated evidence from a studies on discontinuation and regret in adolescents receiving puberty blockers.

The overall regret rate for use of puberty blockers was 12 per cent of just cases and the discontinuation rate was 20 per cent. Compared to discontinuation and regret rates for other medical interventions, there are low numbers.

When the evidence base is complete and evolving, cherry-picked smaller risks misrepresenting the evidence and misleading the public.

IMAGINE TART

Re "I can't picture things in my mind, but I still have a vivid imagination" (First Person, Aug. (7)). It took me to even to realize I could not form mental images.

So a child, I was had at those spatial ability tests such as determining what an irregularly shaped piece of cardboard would fold into. But I didn't care, and my "darker" was never an enragged.

All the descriptive imagery in fiction was lost on me – boring, I thought – so inorganized and dogbe pleasure for many years and eventually generated to ease the tool. The "darker" until my "darker" magazine published an article on urbanization that this light came on, though only figuratively, of course.

I started experimenting, I couldn't picture my childhood home of a years, the next year with of 15 years, the Mona Lisa, the father's home or a sample chair.

On the bright side, that wife of now 45 years never has to worry that I'm, persisting anyone else when I'm not supposed to be. Body Seller Toronto

OPINION

The U.S.’s deal was no deal at all

The outcome of this trade war will be determined in the U.S.

STEVE VERMOL

OPINION

Canada’s chief trade negotiator from 2017-22, had a significant deal resulted in the United States House of Canada agreement.

The breakdown in Canada’s 1st negotiations has left Canada to a difficult position. The 1st deal and challenging times ahead that agreeing to the dual the U.S. war effort up on Friday night would have been wane.

The 1st deal, tariffs against the Canadian exports in an integral of North America economy and against the fundamental obligations of our existing free trade agreement would have meant coming a direction that would be needed to control Canadian states, which faced a reported super-cost tariff under the terms of the proposed deal without an exemption for Canadian contract,

would have faced the most or more consequences that that illustrates obstacles that would have also been faced by others.

More broadly, signing a deal heavily slanted in the U.S.’s direction would have serious implications for Canada’s long-term economic position and how we almost investment the top of this, according to U.S. industry sources, part of this deal on the table. But the 1st deal would match the U.S. tariff levels on key products against all trading partners—and with North America, including tariff-rate quotas on free-trade partners, a breach of our free trade agreements. That would take us down the path of facing the drafting pressures of a North American economy on terms slanted in the U.S.’s direction, and with our options in that alternative markets constructed.

The next stages in that scenario would only tighten those to do. If we had given up much of our key leverage for a short-term deal, we would have entered the United States House of Canada’s Agreement review negotiations with limited ammunition left the U.S.’s UNHCA agenda to be roared on reorienting trade of simple in their favour greater trade

ment among the three parties on tariffs against imports from other countries (primarily China) and converging policies on investment screening and export controls. That would further lock us into a North American market with formal trade obligations that are even more filled in the U.S.’s favour, and further preclude determination efforts with other countries. The U.S.’s desire to have Canada convert in-bursts to treatment on energy and on critical minerals would have only deepened the hole we’d be in. So now what?

Canada won’t win a head-to-head trade battle with the U.S. But that’s not really the case. So, on which this will play out the outcome of this trade war will be ultimately determined in the U.S., where President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda is far from a success. U.S. manufacturing starts are down, not up. Manufacturing jobs are down, Chaos and uncertainty have stalled investment and long-term planning. The key system in which the U.S. is incorporating production will become less competitive over time and requires continuing self-simulation. Chaos wins this kind of race, not the U.S.

Outside of the administration, most Americans understand this. Support for renewing the UNHCA, including for maintaining duty-free trade, is significant among U.S. businesses. Most Americans believe that the UNHCA is positive for the U.S. economy, and most are against McTremay’s tariff policies. These pressures will only increase. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal. The U.S. is not a good deal.

First, this means we need to focus on cultivating and incentivizing our American allies. Unfortunately, there is no better way to get their attention than to improve efficiency tariffs. At the same time, we need to bring them to on board. They were concerned with some of the directions our discussions were heading with the U.S., and we need their support.

Second, we need to strengthen and bring within Team Canada. Neither industry stakeholders nor providers were provided with detailed techniques or what was on the table that under-

standing what industry and providers need is far more important than any concern about the risk of leaks. In years of consulting closely with industry and providers, I never once had cause to regret it.

Third, we need to support Canadian businesses facing the impact of U.S. tariffs. The loss of jobs and production capacity would be difficult to replace.

Finally, we need to accelerate the already meaningful efforts being taken to improve our competitiveness and directly our markets. If we are to face continuing tariffs for our largest export market, we will need to offset the costs of the new further advantages on our side.

At the end of the trip, the U.S. needs to rediscover the lessons learned after the Second World War, when they did the creation of fair and rules-based international trade that made them the economic powerhouse they have become. Trade agreements are only successful and sustainable if they produce two who endures, in which both trade and trade gains. Trade agreements that aim to produce your best customers and your largest investors don’t end up being in your interest, either.

Are we nearing the end of Toronto’s strip club era?

On the morning of Aug. 9, Toronto’s historic Camp for Tavern was severely damaged in a three-dome, the first bus observed in down to definitely Allen Cooper, the owner, to183 miles. The club was not a good deal. The company had been a major problem with the company. The company had been a major problem with the company. The company had been a major problem with the company.

The company had been a major problem with the company. The company had been a major problem with the company.

So, why aren’t we talking about it—and should the reasons that Toronto’s strip clubs are disappointing, as if I’d thought?

Back in thisន្ទ列, when the second-5-5-mg-20port was known as the 5th-mg. Toronto boarded more than 200 strip clubs. In 1995, when the city against which entertainment establishment a city, it also introduced among its 1,000-2,000 people to have a strip club from opening. The 5th-lane man that even clubs must be seen mature away from a residential zone, and you receive away from a school, place of worship or another strip club or massage place.

Those bylaws, in conjunction with the recent closures, made the permanent loss of dancer jobs.

The current situation isn’t just unfair. It’s entirely bad. And it represents a huge portion

The Canadian strip club in Young Street in Toronto, chosen in 2018, closed indefinitely after a five earlier this month, a 40-25-20-30-7-90 (2008-2007-90).

tall loss of revenue for the City of Toronto and the businesses that profit off strip clubs, like surrounding restaurants, hotels, and transportation services, not to mention the city’s beauty industry.

Like any job loss, these ones have real-life implications. Stripping in predominantly women’s work. The living we seen from dancing gives in the opportunity to fund and complete our education, start new businesses, provide for our families, and give back to our communities. Stripping on students, parents, entrepreneurs, artists, activists, statesans and homeowners, let others

staying a new job that offers the same rate of pay and flexibility will be difficult to secure, report, study in the middle of a shopping affordability crisis.

Most of all, stripping is a legitimate competition. That means it is recognized by our mandatory City of Toronto Americans in nature, which cost 8,000-9,000 people to have a strip club. The former services on no benefit at all except the right to work. For our money, no ought to have a say in how our workplaces are run.

That should include the right to open our own establishment before our jobs are rendered un-

necessarily obsolete. But these bylaws that made it impossible for new strip clubs to open also prevent attempts from opening our own nightlife establishment that are safe, seen, lucrative, and most of all. But, After all, what kind of world-class city doesn’t have strip clubs?

The shuttering of strip clubs doesn’t mean sex work is going away. In fact, it will only drive sex work further underground. While the attempt left less men to open a few sex workers to change industries, many of the most vulnerable will be pushed into the more changing work environment hidden from public view

That should concern us all. It doesn’t have to be this way. I know a great many interpreting dancers who would refute the opportunity to run and operate their own establishment that provides worker occupational health and safety.

Imagine: stripper-run clubs with clear actual harassment policies, training manuals for new laws, new reference rule for mandatory public customers, and a complaints procedure that doesn’t threaten a dancer’s job security. Improved workplace conditions would apply to all strip-club staff, including security, life, service and barricades, as well as management, who all deserve to be paid a living wage to effectively uphold a safe and respectful labour environment for dancers and each other.

Ontario strip-club owners in the space organized to advocate for them own interests by establishing the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada. So we can find Ontario stripper, under the feature of the Green Dancer. All those who are interested in safe work conditions until 2004.

Perhaps it is time, once again, for the current and former caddies, the problem of the American family is that it is not a good deal. So fact, it can be amended again easily. Toronto’s coming by laws must change so that new strip clubs can open—and that dancers are empowered to push back against the opening end of Toronto’s strip club era.

The loss of bitterness, Rean Kail and Zanzibar is a single year may be a brutal blow to hundreds of stripper livelihoods. But the distance of their individual in every table, in fact, it can be amended again easily. Toronto’s coming by laws must change so that new strip clubs can open—and that dancers are empowered to push back against the opening end of Toronto’s strip club era.

Status checks don’t belong at protests

KARY JAHN

OPINION

Lawyer at law immigration Law office has served as the national chair of the Canadian Bar Association Immigration Section and as a president of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association

The Canada Border Services Agency recently carried out immigration status checks to align on former international lawmakers. The law does their inability to get coveted postgraduate work permits, or to audit of those checks, more than a dozen of them might now face ordinary work.

The plight of international students and our parent's great deal of public sympathy. The national agreement resulted in Canada shot up from about 1,000,000 people in three million in US. The 2012, 2013, and have only recently come down to about 2.5 million. Many of them were students and their partners.

Some Canadians will feel that this is still too many and will blame immigration policies of the Trailsco government or the students themselves for a variety of social life. A very-level jobs being harder to come by, housing prices shooting up, hospital wait times increasing, even greater trade companies.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says that his government has “taken back control” of Canada’s immigration system. Perhaps he means strictly in terms of numbers of people that what others do.

Has his government tackled middle-seprevalled and, as the ceiling of job offers and takevarphi with arranged by unconjugated immigration consultants? Sadly, not at all.

International students were promised a guaranteed pathway to permanent residence by study representatives both abroad and in Canada. The government’s own substitution among students to come here to study and to catch the man who did come, added billions of dollars to the economy

and have contributed significantly to struggling postsecondary to situation.

Many parents in India literally feel the time, borrowing software that sums to pay for their children’s education here. Tragically, far too many students realized they would not be able to结婚, but to permanent residence, resulting in shame and depression.

When Sir Ann Immigration Minister, Marc Miller implements all study permit, says, forcing provinces to select which institutions and programs would be provided by the United States. The institution (RU) status required for student visas largely from the non-universitas and traditional community college over continental college partnerships with private colleges.

The government is now intent on making it harder for international students to stay for more students, the next step after graduating is applying for a postgraduate work in the United States as a November, 2012. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada implemented mandatory lan-

guage testing and required that study programs be lost to labour market need.

Understandably, students are now protecting them through U.S. born reported that police asked the Canada district various signs “to carry out” a status check on four individuals: of a present or a larger, or a smaller, or more than two years of age. The state is now the only one that is a full status, in others even checked and is more identified as being possibly inadequate and asked to enter a follow-up interview.

We update why CBSA agreed to do the same. It is bad to first, given the Charter right of “everyone” to not be arbitrarily detained (see above) and the right to be secure against “unreasonable wealth” (section 6). What CBSA may investigate those who overuse their persons, the following are constraints they typically focus on those who have been charged with a crime.

Canadians who are appalled at the cause of immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) needs of the border should be similarly concerned by CBSA

checking people’s “papers” while of a public permit that a (s)gary police characterized as largely peaceful, and a whistling driver, who is not responsible for a crime. It creates a potentially chilling effort to future demoralization, detrimenting the Charter right of “everyone” to peaceful, avoidable, and/or unethical.

It’s long to realize for the government to handle people as soon as they have been charged with the CBSA by implementing EHC (i.e., which received royal assent in October, 2012, after more than two years of India) and the CBSA (i.e., 2012) as a result of third reading in the House.

We desperately need an independent Public Complaints and Review Commission. The RCPC is a member of the working in place for the CBSA.

Endorsed among post-engagements, officers may only “continue” a person if they are making an immigration application or working over or exceed or making a who is a member of the CBSA. Any penny here. The students just wanted someone to do what them.

Embracing the art of solitude

Lonefense influences are building an audience on the relatability of having few connections

ESPINA SCHEFLER

With a 2-year-old Torsen husband influence, married documenting her experience with a new partner like Elisha, like a video diary, candidly posing about having no time with a baby, taking known one for dates and recommendations for activities in the city.

In one such video, Jo takes her audience along with her for a long time, with a 2-year-old Torsen's mission, having a book and mapping by 2 parts to read at that once.

She's one of many popular content creators who are showcasing a different kind of lifestyle than we typically see on social media—one of the most popular locations in rhinoceros, these creators claim to have little to no time friendships or romantic relationships, and of

ten document quiet nights at home. A social media businessman once widespread, these influences are finding an audience by making solitude for desirable.

Another Torsen-based creative, Luns Inc., is one of the most prominent in this game, with more than 20.com followers between her instagram and TikTok accounts.

Torsen set videos, she则enshin what it's like "going to the movies where at 9 p.m. on a friendline get" or spending "froday night in a 14 year old girl that time alone and without interest in her training." In began to take content creators seriously whose a video from her video called "a bit late helping" blew up on TikTok in November, 2018, and she won the 2020-2021 video. In she's video, Jo shows 1K+000 staff and 4K+ times her plan to go out by herself that evening.

But why do people enjoy teaching lonefense content?

"There's a lot of time when you're on the people doing things on their own," is said in an interview. It normalizes at and takes

away that her factor."

Jo believes most of her roughly 10,000 followers between TikTok and instagram are women in the last 20s and early 20s, a time where she says it becomes harder to make plans as others get married and have fun in her. Jo's}\n\nSally Canada survey conducted in the fourth quarter of 2018, 4,000 most of these aged 8-12, 9-12 reported always or often feeling lonely—the highest rate among age groups. These aged 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12, 9-12

During a time when many people are feeling lonely, social media offers associated with a fear of missing out, said Matt McCready, a PM candidate in communities and culture at Torsens Metropolitan University. Cams and others post vacation photos, announce job promotions and document their lives with their partners and family.

But lonefense influences offer an alternative.

"There's a loneliness influence who says Tim Janes, but I'm not lonely. I'm really happy being alone. I have total freedom. And it

almost alleviates that fear of missing out, right? Like you can be alone and still serve to have this fulfilling life," McCready said.

He explains that social media influences create a kind of connection with their audience by contrasting an identity, and sharing unfiltered parts of their both, such as being emotional or many parts of their home. Building this "performance digital intimacy" allows an audience to perceive a connection with their individual and can make the influences lifestyle feel attainable to make it more.

Kristi Jiang, McDonald, a psychological associate in London, Ont., says people may feel a kind of paranoid connection with the children they would have had and relationship with a figure who does not know that they exist—based on their shared experience. In this case, that's the shared experience of living family.

Lonefense influences have driven criticism from some psychologists, who say the promotion of lonefense and isolation can create risks for healthy hu-

man functioning. Psychotherapist Phil Lane warns in a Psychology Today article that some influences do not study information between isolation and occasional solitude. He writes that some viewers may misinterpret or apply this in unhealthy ways.

Numerous studies have shown that people who have strong social connections are happier, have fewer health problems and longer lives.

Jo is cautious not to promote a lifestyle without close friendships, often speaking about the importance of social media and content videos, and notifying the social benefits of relationships or health. She considers howl if food is a temporary period of "rebuilding" or social media.

Jo hopes her videos will empower other women to have their own role experiences, something she believes is important regardless of the other people in your life.

Even if you do have a friend group, still find time to like date yourself and life, go out on your own," she said.

Four ways to help case loneliness

ANITA OWODI

AGE & THERAPIST

Ask a Therapist to a series of columns offering insights and advice about common psychological concern. It is not a substitute for setting professional psychological or medical care.

Despite having more ways to connect, rates of loneliness are especially increasing. The rise of social media, the decline of important interactions, growing mental health challenges and our individualistic society have all contributed to this effort.

Regardless of whether we are more critical to concerned, because an influence by social being is with a fundamental need for connection. From the very beginning, a synthesis issqrtled depends on this. This must be connection entends far beyond simple fear-to-fear interaction, we seek to be genuinely acts, found, understood and loved. In the absence of this deeper sense of belonging, loneliness can take hold.

It is important to distinguish between being alone and feeling lonely. A person may be surrounded by others and still be isolated, while someone who is physically alone may feel content and fulfilled.

Loneliness is often described as the distressing feeling of social disconnection. While it is a common sense of human connection that is usually temporary for some people it can become obvious, especially if it goes unadultered.

Over time, a prolonged state of loneliness may cause it to be dangerous if one is not.

If you are struggling with loneliness and experienced a short course of detachment both from yourself and from these around you, here are four strategies that can help.

1. BUILD A SENSE OF INTERNAL EARITY

When we feel lonely, it is easy to start reading social difficulties as evidence that something is wrong with us. That is important when a living a sense of internal self-salt, thought-to-land consuming in the moment that, over time, totalizes the person withdrawal rather than resolve it.

Developing a sense of internal safety means learning to meet these moments with care instead of self-study. Rather than taking a long thought of new value, it can help to recognize them as reactions, understandable, but not necessarily true.

Even a small amount of distance from these thoughts can reduce their impact on others, since it is not a human perspective.

For example, someone who leads him by after not having leads from a friend might think, "behind results more about me. I'm always forgotten."

Instead, they might pause and say to someone who is feeling rejected and sad, so my mind is creating a story around it. That doesn't necessarily mean that what I feel is evidence."

Over time, the shift can interrupt the situation and a solution to need for more neutral or even positive social experiences.

2. CHALLENGE RELATIVE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT STAGES

Saturated loneliness can also shape how we perceive others, making neutral or ambiguous interactions feel negative. Over time, people may come to believe

that others are not interested in them, that social encounters will end in rejection or that they simply do not belong. Recognizing the psychological patterns behind this is often a first step toward rebuilding meaningful connections.

A helpful approach is to gently question these assumptions and the exception that other people's behaviour is often shape-felt factors that are not related to us. For instance, if someone does not respond rapidly to a text message, it may reflect business rather than disinterest. Practicing the habit of considering multiple explanations for social situations can mean the automatic expectation of rejection and open the door for more balanced interpretations.

3. AVOID THE SELF-FULFILLING

PROPOSED LOGO

Negative assumptions about others can also lead people to focus more on evidence that supports the existing beliefs while encouraging evidence that considers them. These beliefs often influence behaviour in ways that unintentionally create the very outcomes they fear. This process is referred to as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

To protect themselves from potential rejection, family individuals may withdraw from social opportunities, speak less during conversations, avoid eye contact or keep emotional distance from others. And yet everyday social interactions may not give such an unintentional engagement, warmth and openness to guide responses.

When someone appears distant or disengaged, others may interpret this as a lack of interest and pull back as well. This, at times, can reinforce the family person's negative belief that people do not want to connect with them. However, in reality, the expectation of rejection of being the social outcome.

To to avoid this by remaining open to connections, even when conversations feel awkward or uncomfortable or invitations do not immediately materialize, and by remembering that hesitation or distaste from others is not always a sign of rejection.

4. CUSTOMER HOPE

Lonefense can lead people to feel profoundly hopeless. When individuals begin to believe that nothing will improve, that belief itself can lead to the way of meaningful change. Cultivating hope is therefore essential as it can create distances from feeling beliefs and open the possibility of finding connections. Loneliness is not only an external experience, it can also shape how we interpret reality. Hope is found to be a good way to make actions we choose to take to fulfill their desire.

For someone supporting chronic loneliness, hope can begin to emerge through small but intentional actions such as challenging negative self-salt or unambiguous about others, exploring to a found advantage that people a social event even if it feels intimidating or seeking support. These action may seem minor, but they challenge hopelessness by creating opportunities for connection and getting more engaging how the individual uses both themselves and the world around them.

Eat these foods to promote heart health

BEEF TASK FOR THOUGHT

Cheeses are you've heard that certain, especially blueberries, benefit from health.

Many studies have linked blueberries, which are rich in anthocyanins, to healthy brain aging.

Same use, anthocyanins may do more than protect cognitive health.

According to a major new review of research, higher intakes of anthocyanins can also keep your heart healthy as you age.

What's more, the amounts associated with these benefits are surprisingly achievable through diet.

Here's what to know about the latest research, plus which foods, human and beyond deliver plenty of anthocyanins

WHAT ARE ANTIOCHENINS?

Anthocyanins are a subclass of phytochemicals that belong to the flavonoid family, a large group of thousands of compounds found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, cocoa, red wine and tea.

Anthocyanins are responsible for the deep blue, pure, ripe and red colour of many fruits and vegetables, including

lignite, rancid, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, red grapes, pomegranate seeds, black currants, blood oncogene, red cabbage, purple sweet potatoes, rambots and eggplant.

They do more than give places than other foods.

Anthocyanins have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are thought to support healthy blood vessels, the heart and the brain as we age.

ABOUT THE NEW RESEARCH

For the meta-analysis, published this month in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers set out to review the "Pediatric and Endocrine" anthocyanins improved cardiovascular health and enhanced the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in healthy,

disease-free adults.

A meta-analysis combines the findings from many studies and uses the pooled data to come to new conclusions: it provides stronger evidence than the findings from a single study. While previous research has suggested that anthocyanins protect against cardiovascular disease and they can be better aware of these studies included both healthy people and those who already had cardiomyopathy disease.

Since people with health conditions are more likely to experience greater improvements, earlier results from anthocyanins may not apply to healthy individuals.

The researchers reviewed a total of 85 studies—interventional studies and randomized controlled trials—conducted in healthy participants.

When they pooled an additional data from 16 observational studies, which tracked participants for up to 14 years, they found consistent protective effects

with higher anthocyanins in adults.

Compared to lower anthocyanins, studies show with higher intakes had a 20 per cent lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, an 18 per cent risk of heart attack and an 11 per cent lower risk of Type 2 diabetes.

The team also reported to have a randomized controlled trial and a broad strong evidence that consuming at least 20 milligrams of anthocyanins is day-announced individual function. The individualism is the single layer of cells that has the needs of blood vessels, it exposes these cells to the same 20% of lunches. The main symptom of individual dysfunction in the coronary arteries include chest pain or tightness, which can remove during physical activity, fatigue and shortness of breath can also occur.

In this study, anthocyanins improved flow-mediated dilation, a measure of how well the individualism helps blood vessels relax and expand in response to increased blood flow. The improvement was achieved by increasing after consuming anthocyanin-rich foods and weeks after regular consumption. © RECK, A13

Advice I got year ago is helping me make peace with aging

FIRST PERSON

An older friend taught me that older people don't need younger people's pity, Alex Siklos writes

Many years ago, I met a woman who impressed me. I've been thinking about her a lot lately. Lillian was a tall indoor a woman, standing about at first, with a wary of thick, shoulder-length grey hair. We shared humor in the elevator on the way up to our apartments and in time started visiting each other for coffee and longer than. Lillian was in at the time, and I was less than half her age. But we got along well. Her voice was rough as guard and she was opinionated, proudly sense and funny. I remember she had a brunch. It is in black and white photograph on the side of some little. The woman in the phone looked more than our years old and she was sitting in an armchair and groping at the camera. I asked Lillian who the woman was and she didn't know. "I just like the photo," she said. One day Lillian talked to me for a long time about what it was like to do. I'm paraphrasing here, but her colleague wrote something like this.

"When a lawyer old looks at a lawyer old, it might not occur to those who are not in the body much stronger and forever than they are. A lawyer old has gone through three times as many losses, challenges and tough times when they weren't sure if they could go on. They've met and had challenging, and everything relationships with their times as many different personalities in three times as many diverse situations.

"Their skin, joints and organs have gone through three times as many repeated ones, illnesses and recoveries. So just like a lawyer old car or house, the insurance is even lower, inside and out, so it might break down more easily and more often, also, it can take a lot longer to repair the damage. That's why some women are a lot more careful when they're moving around if they feel they might be out of action for years.

"People don't get old because they like a certain number. They get old because they've gone through so much more than younger people. And some-

times, they're tired from it. Older people don't need younger people's pity. They need their applause because they're still going at their best shot despite everything they've gone through. Lillian has long since died, but I'm thought of her more often lately - now that I'm getting older too.

I think of her when I find it tougher to open sometime late and product packaging and when I can't read much carton or product labels in pharmacies and stores without making photos. Or when healthy home or other loan voices can be more irritating sometimes because of a natural part of aging called neural gain. And, when I sit on the couch for a long while, sometimes, I'll get up and walk like I've been riding on a horse for too long. Even though I have zero experience experience so there's no excuse for it, except that I'm older and I have to move more to social stiffness. And I've recently learned that pupils get smaller with age and that causes are light to get in so eyes are less responsive and adaptive to daily lives. That explains why I find it more difficult to see people on daily times.

And I thought of Lillian recently when I was a consultant on YouTube, imitating an elderly man trying to open a plants begin the problem so that she's got away from. He was stooped over, trembling, slew and duressly grasping and dropping one bag after another as

he groaned and tried without success to open each bag. The audience was in hysterics, but then I thought, if this is routine was irritating a man with disabilities would be audience laughter. He considered nonsober and cruel! I think it would. But somehow whisk it an older person evervees a day with it.

To be far the comedian made fun of younger generations, too, but he made fun of their choices, not the physical challenges that they have no control over.

There there are many older people who are a guy and healthy as ever and I relate them. But there are others, who, as a result of chance, choice, politics, accidents or illnesses beyond their control, are forced to live with the limitations of getting older.

I've made peace with the fact that I can't feel people into thinking I'm just my more. Now when I chat with younger people, sometimes I think I see everywhere in their eyes, as though they've already decided that I'm irrelevant without knowing me.

But maybe I did the same thing sometimes, when I was younger. Now, when a younger person is talking about their experiences, if I push myself, I might be able to recall their insecure face, their plots and dramas and their concerns at that time of life, because I've been their age. But they haven't been my age, so not their faith, but they don't know what it's like for me.

I guess moving forward, the upside is that there's others in my older club who will always get it, because we're all going through the same thing. And now people keep young. So, I'm not facing these changes alone and it's a member, I've won, Lillian is with me too.

Beck: A healthy dietary pattern can help your heart

Impaired flow-mediated dilation indicates early dysfunction of the endothelium; it's an independent predictor of future cardiovascular events.

Anthocyanin consumption was also associated with significantly lower fasting insulin levels, suggesting improved insulin sensitivity.

STRENGTHS, CAVEATS

The study's greatest strength is to focus on healthy participants. It provides compelling evidence that anthocyanins may help prevent cardiometabolic disease through their beneficial effects on vascular function.

As well, combining observational studies that include clinical outcomes—such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and randomized controlled trials that measured changes in cardiometabolic biomarkers—provides stronger evidence than other types of study alone.

One limitation is the fact that the observed reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes come from observations of studies, which cannot prove cause and effect.

Another caveat is that anthocyanins rich foods also contain other flavonoids and phenylalaninals which may also contribute to their cardiometabolic benefits.

RENDITS WITH VERY ACHIEVABLE ANTIOCYCANIN MUEAKE

In the current study, the strongest and most consistent anthocyanin benefit observed in healthy people was improved vascular health.

The good news is that the daily amount of anthocyanins listed in improved endothelial function is well within reach.

For example, roughly one half-cup of Marlboros, Marlboros, cranberries or black currants, or about one cup of sweet cherries, can provide around 50 mg or more of anthocyanins.

Keep in mind the anthocyanin content of brain and vegetables can vary considerably depending on the variety, growing region, legumes, design, and processing.

ANTIOCYANINS - PART OF A HEART HEALTHY DIET

The new results add to growing evidence that anthocyanins-rich foods deserve a place on your regular menu.

But don't lose sight of the bigger picture. When it comes to heart health, your overall dietary pattern matters more than any single food or nutrient.

Add colourful anthocyanins-rich foods to an overall healthy dietary pattern, whether it is a health-conscious-style diet, the DAHA diet, the WHO diet or a Resistance approach to eating.

That's where the strongest evidence lies for healthy aging and living from cardiovascular health.

This deal occurred in the 2003 Cavendish Invitational, perhaps the most prestigious pairs contest on the annual bridge calendar. The three-day event, which originated at New York's Cavendish Club but then moved to Las Vegas, generated more than 35 million in prizes for the top finishers among the six pairs.

Italiano Guido - Kenyan and Giorgio Duboin reached six clubs after a lengthy sequence that involved several markets and a Roman Keycard Blackwood inquiry that disclosed three key cards (here, two aces and the king of clubs) in Duboin's hand.

West, Valdez Lazard, led the diamond king, taken by Duboin with the ace. After the diamond lead, the contract would seem to depend on a successful fitness against West for the queen of hearts – a 50% proposition. Most players would have settled for this chance and gone down one at the cards tie, but you don't get to be a world champion by settling for the obvious loss of play. No quested another possibility that would cost him nothing to try.

So at trick two he cashed the club ace, then led a club to the jack and returned a few spud-toward his hand. This subjected

East, Bart Bramley, to a difficult game. Was declarer trying to steal a stick with the singleton jack of spades, or was he sold and trying to fare Bramley into putting up the ace?

Bramley thought long and hard and eventually played the ace. Duboin called, returned to dummy with a trumpet, discarded both of his diamonds on the K-Q of spades and later lost a heart to the queen to make exactly six. Making the slam was worth 228 DBN, a huge score after completion with the results at the 24 other tables.

Teen online gambling on the rise: survey

Mental health also improved in several measures compared with 2023, among students in Canada.

JENNIFER WARE HEALTH SCIENCE REPORTER

Online gambling has “significantly increased” among Ontario teenagers, with one in eight students gambling online during the past school year and one in in betting on sports, according to a report released on Monday.

These findings are from the latest Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey, published by Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. The survey included more than 1,000 students attending in Canada 7 to 16 across the province.

Compared with the last survey two years ago, the share of students who reported gambling online in 2023 was 1.4% (1,000 from 1,000) – a 1.0-per-cent jump. Across Ontario, one in five students are now engaging in some form of gambling, either online or off.

For the first time, the survey also asked students about their exposure to online gambling in a veritomment. More than 30 per cent said they had seen or heard an online gambling ad in the past month, and roughly a quarter of students had read encountering them on a daily basis.

“I just look at the numbers, and I think, ‘Oh boy. There is an issue,’” said principal investigator Harley Hamilton, a senior scientist with CAMO and co-director, who said that the Mental Health Policy Research

“Increased accessibility, and the fact that gambling is online – it’s opened up to young people more than in the past.”

The CAMO survey is Canada’s largest training market. Survey administered every two years to identify trends in health and substance use among students.

The survey first started more than 1,000 in gambling, in 2023, and nowaches added questions about mental blood goods (betting in 2023).

Since then, the online gambling landscape in Ontario has changed dramatically to zero, the federal government legalized single-cent sports betting, and one year later, Ontario became the first Canadian province to open on online gambling market to protect the state.

Today, Ontario is considered fourth America’s most competitive online gambling market. There are currently 49 operators in Ontario running by websites that offer online casinos and sports and online games, according to Gaming Ontario, the Centre agency that manages the

In the area in fiscal year, these are had 2.6 million active smokers, collectively wagering more than $30 million. But emerging public-health data is painting a worrying picture about the hidden fallout from this admission of gambling activity.

Last year, the Canadian Centre for Substance Use and Addiction released a study based on 2024 survey results. Ending that on a per cent of young adults aged 18–24, on who gambled online may be criteria for gambling. Roughly a quarter experienced high-level of gambling-related harms, such as accumulated media and debt or hurting their personal relationships.

Another recent research paper published by the Canadian Medical Association Journal reported claiming increases in gambling-related helpline calls since Ontario legalized online gambling-related exclusively among teen and young men, among the 15 to 14 age group helpline contacts ranged 317 per cent.

At CAMO’s outpatient clinic for problem gambling, psycho-logical highly faresy has not faced an uphill in younger clients over the past five years, especially men in their 20s and 30s.

But in the past year or so, she’s started getting referrals for teenagers, including one as young as to something that never used to happen when she joined the clinic in 2024.

While her chemist is predominantly male, the new student survey reports that she is not increasingly getting involved with gambling, her per cent of the students reported gambling online during the previous 12 months – double the percentage from the last survey.

Another subgroup with a significant increase was eighth graders last year, 15 per cent said they gambled online, up from a 2 per cent in 2023.

Other reporting trends from the survey relate to video gaming with one in 10 students reporting that they played for five or more hours a day, to minors per cent of students had symptoms of video gaming problems, such as drug use to their family or schooling, significantly up from 2007, when only 5 per cent reported that they

Self-reported improvements in mental health measures compared to the last survey

A quarter of students also said they spent five or more hours a day on social media. This is more than 1,000 that it was in 2023, the first year that the survey started tracking this measure.

There are also some significant bright spots in the latest survey results, CAMO’s Dr. Hamilton noted.

The last survey released in 2023 – which was conducted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic – showed dramatic increases in students experiencing mental health and psychological distress.

But two years later, many mental-health measures have improved. Dr. Hamilton said. For example, students experiencing moderate to serious psychological distress declined to 40 per cent from 15 per cent, and those who reported self-harming

designed to 15 per cent from 10 per cent.

Many of these measures were added to the survey in 2023, and this is the first time that Dr. Hamilton has seen 1000 every year improvements.

The said this could suggest that school-based interventions and other research aimed at improving student mental health are having an impact.

It also shows that students are faring much better now compared with the darkest days of the pandemic, when schools were shattered and many students struggled with their mental health.

“We’ve been waiting to see if things are going to go back to pro-pandemic levels,” the said. “Dr. Hamilton are still a concern, but I just take the little wine where I can.”

Black Canadians face barriers when donating blood, study says

KIRSTY KIRKUP

SCALE IS NOT OFFER

Black people in Canada who want to donate blood face barriers, despite a critical need for specific blood types to treat sickle cell disease, says a study published on Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Researchers from the Interdisciplinary Centre for Black Health at the University of Ontario shared their findings after interviewing at Black adults from March to June, 2023.

The study does not touch on the three period between gathering research and publishing findings. The research findings offer an example of the complex nature at the root of why low Black-midlands should blood.

One of the co-authors, Jude Mary Grant, a professor of psychology at the University and in research due on Black health, said the barriers to blood donation are “predominantly rooted in the restriction and social policies adopted by blood donation systems in Canada.”

As of last year, Canadian blood barriers said that Black donors accounted for just under 1 per cent of its entire blood donor base, about 1 per cent of them will registrate and 1 per cent of cord blood donors. By contrast, the Black population in Canada is growing and is expected to reach more than three million people by year.

CBS says people in Canada have ethnically diverse black-provable are low bloods to find a matching donor because these communities are underrepresented. For the most-regularly-alone, 10 per cent of registrants are Caucasian.

The study said: “Our findings highlight ongoing, restrictive policies that challenge blood donation among Black people in Canada. Lead undercover drug restricts in the health care and blood-donation systems owing to limited and lack current racial discrimination.”

These release, inclusive communication, and collaboration between health care organizations and Black communities are needed to improve trust,” it said.

Many study participants said they were barred from gender-blood in Canada based on slightly 30% males, and in those related to malaria, despite being able to donate elsewhere.

“Participants in our study noted previous research indicates a unique barrier for them if they wished to donate blood,” it said.

“It remains unclear, therefore, how Canada’s policy – among the most restrictive in the US, along with Japan, is through्यांing given evidence showing a very low risk of transfusion-transmitted malaria.”

Currently, CBS says individuals who have spent time in a malaria-endemic region may need to wait to donate blood. These with a good confirmed case are not eligible to give transfusion products. To deem who have had malaria to give plasma six months after receiving it.

In such cases, Health Canada approved the first molecular term to screen blood donations for malaria, which CBS said could be used in donor screening processes and to “potentially change associated donor eligibility criteria.”

However, CBS would need to evaluate how this test works in its practice to prevent and reduce transfusion from Health Canada.

“Until this training can be put in place, the existing donor screens big process for malaria will remain in place to ensure the safety of the blood supply,” he验收ed states.

The nearly published research study also detailed how statistics of blood-donation systems was “based on the maintenance requirements: Black people have faced where trying to donate blood.”

“In addition to the lack of representation of Black and racialized individuals among the cell of blood-donation systems and the racial experience related to blood donation policies participants also highlighted their discomfort at being more heavily screened because of the colour of their skin,” it said.

More than from CBS was not included in the study, which was under category until its Monday publication.

Last year, the organization produced a summary of work being undertaken to address barriers

experienced by Black individuals and communities. For example, it added 1.6% conducting community-based “social science” research with Black and African communities.

CBS has said that it wants to ensure that high-quality blood products are available from all communities and reflect Canadian society. “We need more people from Black and other racialized communities to become regular blood donors, to help support people with conditions like sickle cell disease or thalassemia, who may require specialty values of blood from donors of a similar ancestry,” he验收ed said.

It also acknowledged how anti-Blacks' national or other business-translation exist relative to organization and affect many people's perspectives on donation.

Nearly all study participants highlighted “the names Black people late in society as one of the main obstacles” to blood donation.

“They noted that Black individuals felt to do what it was to do for them. They come to believe their blood does not matter.”

Business leaders brace for a long trade war with U.S.

Latest round of tariffs targets Canada's manufacturing sector, creating chaos for vital industries

JAMESON BERKOM SUPPLY SERVICE SILVIA GRANBY

Canada's business leaders have been left in a precarious state of birth after an inflow of 10 per cent trade talks with the United States also eliminated hopes for an end to the uncertainty that has long paralyzed their investment decisions.

President Donald Trump's threatened 50 per cent tariffs on 1700 as billion worth of goods will be American customers each year took effect at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Both countries blamed each other for the negotiations falling apart just when a deal

appeared to be within reach.

An Saturday morning press conference, Prime Minister Mark Carney said the Canada U.S. trade relationship faces an existential threat on the cumulative effect of Washington's demands "revealed the limits of their commitment to a true economic partnership."

Asked about the time of his remarks, which suggested that Canada is at war, Mr. Carney said: "You are at war when you get attacked. We get attacked."

He promised "dollar-for-dollar" retaliation in the form of tariffs against American exports to Canada that are set to take effect on Sept. 9.

Mr. Trump's latest round of tariffs primar-

dy targets Canada's manufacturing sector.

Bennie Duffy, chief executive officer of industry group Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters and a member of Mr. Carney's advisory committee on Canada U.S. economic relations, said the Prime Minister's language suggested "he is setting up for the long haul."

"Our preference is for them to quickly get back to the table, but don't think that is going to happen any time soon," Mr. Duffy said in an interview on Saturday. "The bigger problem for us is that in the long run, if this back and forth present, it erodes the timeliness, companies have to make investment decisions."

There may be long-term pain, but Carney was right to call Trump's bluff

TONY KELLER

OPINION

"America wants to tariff everybody on everything." Prime Minister Mark Carney said that on Saturday morning, it was an aside within a larger point, but it quickly relishes. It's the alpha and omega of where we are, and how we got here.

It's a short but comprehensive explanation for the breakdown of trade talks between Canada and the United States.

It also sums up what Canada has been facing since the fall of 2024, when Donald Trump invited the previous prime minister to dine at New York, and informed him that, along with those that we were on the menu.

Last week, there was a widespread fear that the Carney government would fail to secure a deal to avoid the latest volley of U.S. tariffs. But as the days passed and a deal appeared imminent, a different concern came to the fore: that Ottawa was about to sign a bad deal.

The dead was that the federal government was on the verge of locking in major concessions, in return for nothing much. And the wolf, having threatened to blow out house down unless we opened the door, would pocket our concessions - and he back in no time, demanding more.

The U.S. President's tactics over the past month were his latest take on an established approach. He threatened to hit Canada with 50 per cent tariffs on roughly $10 billion of Canadian exports unless Canada came to the table.

Rents hikes are easing across Canada, but Quebec is bucking the trend

SALIMAN FARGOUDI

For more than a year, rental markets have been sluggish across most of the country. But in Quebec, rent affordability continues to be a concern for households, as prices have generally bucked the national trend.

Rents to Quebec's major cities can expect little relief from rent hikes, as the cities' existing cheaper units see intense demand and new supply comes online at significantly higher prices.

For example, rent rates rose by 10.5 per cent in Montreal and 8.7 per cent in Quebec City throughout 2024, according to data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. In comparison, Toronto and Vancouver only saw 3.5 and 2.5 per cent increases, respectively. (OMR) uses statistics around the actual rent that tenants paid, rather than asking rates. That's why average rent increased in 2024, even as av-

erage listing rates decreased.)

OMR's rental data aren't available for 2024, but data on asking rates from Rents also shows that rents are barely slowing in Montreal, where the average listing price for a two-bedroom apartment in August was down just 0.5 per cent from a year earlier to 10.2.83.

For decades, Montreal and Quebec City have been among the most affordable major cities for renters. The low rental rates are possibly because of an enormous supply of older duplex and triplex units, many of which were built more than 100 years ago.

Meanwhile, newer rental supply has demanded higher prices because of the high cost of construction, analysis and realms say. In Montreal and Quebec City in particular, nearly all of the rental developments have been priced for the high-end segment.

After injury, this entrepreneur goes all in on pickleball eye protection

SILVIA GRANBY

Former sports marketer Brad Robins was channeled by pickleball for the same reasons the game has recently shot up in popularity. It offers a low barrier to entry and a level of social connection many were starved of during the pandemic.

But as the sport started to boom and Mr. Robins became hooked, a safety risk became possibly obvious.

The fast-paced game is placed on counts smaller than those used for tennis. While competing in the amateur segment of a 2024 tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio, he got smacked in the eye socket by an oncoming ball. Participants are most in danger of that injury while standing near the "kish-

on" boundary line, which is seven feet out from the net on each side.

82 REPORT ON BUSINESS

U.S. President Donald Trump, right, speaks with Federal Reserve chair Kevin Marsh in May. Interest rates on money from U.S. government debt for their highest level in month (8) years this year is worth, and yields are also rising for government bonds around the world. COLON/HOUSTON REUTERS

Enclos low borrowing costs could pose risks for the U.S.

Higher rates, once historically normal, could be much more painful this time around.

RON CAROLINEAN COLON SMITH

The era of low interest rates is over. The economic barge over is just beginning. Interest rates on long-term U.S. government debt for their highest level in month or more this past week, and yields are also rising. For government bonds around the world. An intervention by the Treasury Department on Wednesday, 1998. Recouply around the rise in rates, which have led to higher borrowing costs for borrowing its businesses and the federal government.

Rates are being driven by a variety of forces. Problems inflation are being exacerbated by the war with fear, and there are questions about how the Middle East Reserve will be to taste it. Aggressive borrowing by artificial intelligence companies and hopes that the AI boom will lead to faster economic growth in the future. And long-borough concerns about the federal government's ability to manage its mounting debt load, which this week tapped US$40 trillion for the first time.

But beyond the specific explanations, economists say, higher rates are in some ways a return to a more normal period. The real aberration, they say, was the month two decades of ultralow rates that followed the global financial crisis in 2016. Average interest rates on a po-year fund rate mortgage spent more than a decade before a pre-cash, and short-term interest rates were near zero for more. Even some bond yields remain low by historical standards, especially in inflation-adjusted terms.

The interest rates of the last couple of decades were unusually low by historical standards, and we're now indeed that decline. And Douglas W. Elmendorf, a Harvard University economist who led the congressional budget Office to the years after the financial crisis "We're back up to a new what actually is coming from low when we encounter 8 in years ago."

But the U.S. economy looks very different since the last time rates were at this level. Households and businesses adjusted to a world in which money was cheap. So did the global financial system. Perhaps most significantly, government debt has tripled as a share of economic output over that period.

All of that could make higher rates, however historically normal they may be, much more painful this time around.

"We get somewhat spoiled," said Tom Ouellet, an economist on average Washington University, who worked in the Treasury Department during the before administration. "A lot of our financial systems were pretty substantially covered around this assumption of pretty low interest rate."

Higher rates also pose a political problem for President Donald Trump, who campaigned on a promise to improve affordability for inflation and the economic financial, mortgage rates, which fell during the Trump's first year back in office, are rising again,

and interest rates on auto loans, credit cards and other forms of consumer debt remain elevated. We Trump spent months developing the Fed-in funds borrowing costs, and the state government is now close. Kevin Marsh, who has been led would do so, has auto loans inflation, partly a result of the Trump's decision to go to war with fear, has taken cuts off the table. Investors now think the Fed is more likely to raise rates this year than anything else.

But even if the Trump went to have gotten his wish, the Fed only bought contract short-term interest rates. What matter most is the economy are long-term cuts, which help determine what it costs to borrow money to buy a house or build a factory. There is more are set by market forces as investors fear and sell government bonds. What these people want to limit the government money, or demand a higher return for doing so, interest rates now.

For much of the past two decades, investors appetite for U.S. government debt seemed miserable. They poured money into government bonds during the 2008 financial crisis, when hardly any other asset seemed safe. They kept buying during the atomic economy, recovery that followed, where pressure funds, wealthy individuals and other savers had more cash on hand than there were attractive places to invest it.

The Fed was also a relatively buyer of government debt, as it turned to unleaded insurance to share up the economy by keeping a hit on borrowing costs. By investing strong demand for Treasury bonds, policy makers marked up prices and put domesticized pressure on long-term interest rates. Bond yields never to satisfy its prices.

The United States, and to a lower degree in peers around the world, took advantage of the government to borrow a sharply increasing gap deficits over a three-term improved. Despite growing occasional by service to the need for fiscal responsibility, the U.S. states are 0.6% where the continued to cut taxes and income spending.

Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, which shud down which was of the 1980s. The end of 1990s, and 1991s, the 1990s, of profits out of work. The federal government responded in dramatic fashion, providing inflation of dollars in aid to households and businesses. "With all of it for several more years, and the end, when foreign-antitrust quantities of government debt and a range of other securities."

Economists largely showed the aid affects although most showed that the final spending package, under penalties for the debt, was larger than it needed to be and would ultimately hold. At a fiktion, investors showed no hesitation, either, snapping, or being a real-to-bottom intervention.

But many economists argue that the federal government should rate in dollars over a 1998-present 7510 states happen. The tax-and-spending bill that the Trump signed last year will add more than 1354 million in the deficit over the next decade, according to the latest estimate from the non-partisan Congressional budget Office.

Investors' concerns about the federal government's fiscal trajectory are contributing to the re-

cent rise in bond yields, and Rate-to-Eating, an economist at Stanford University who has studied the Treasury market. For decades, investors pose a premium: in the form of a lower yield - for the safety and liquidity provided by government bonds. Today, that premium has largely disappeared.

The problem, Mr. Leung added, is that deficits that looked sustainable when interest rates were lower now look much less so.

"Now, you're left with a fiscal position that has an unintended for a low-rate regime that is gone, at least for now," he said.

Already, the congressional budget Office estimates that the federal government will spend more than 1354 million on interest payments this year, more than it spends for the pre-cash other than Social Security or the future. That figure is expected to rise sharply over the next decade even if interest rates remain relatively stable.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett argued Thursday that the United States could grow in way out of its debt problem.

Economists acknowledge that there are now no areas of growth, such as those stemming from the AI boom. But the pace at which the debt has corresponded makes catching up hard to do. Those AI companies have also flooded the market with a torrent of new debt as they need to fund their expansion plans. In effect competing with the government for a better period of interest capital.

What is more, faster growth needs to lead to higher interest rates, though for benign rather than modifying reasons.

The bottom line is, on a low rate is unlikely to return to better costs.

For the Fed, that could mean that the "normal rate" - the income tax and neither specific approach nor slows it down - is higher than in the recent past. Most policy makers now estimate that the numerical rate is just above 1 per cent, up from 55 per cent below the pandemic.

With the point here, on steady footing and inflation too high for the central bank's liking, the primary debate that has divided policy makers is whether the overnight rate is 0.6 per cent or nearly at a range of 5.5 per cent to 7.75 per cent - is applying any estimate on the economy.

If the answer to you, the Fed can feel confident that inflation will move their rate back to its 5 percent target, and that the federal and new for half a decade. But if the answer to us, the central bank faces pressure to act, or risk contributing to an even more positive net inflation rate.

Policy makers who have called for higher borrowing costs - of whom there are now several - point to the economy's resilience - a clear sign that rates are too low.

"If you just observe the real economy backdrop and you observe the markets it tells you that rates aren't restrictive," said Robert Sorkin, chief U.S. economist at PGM. He thinks the fact should raise rates by 7.75 percent, age points over the next three policy meetings before passing to stores from the economy to being held. But, McSailin said, the Fed should lead "no confidence that inflation would return to the 5-per-cent target rate time soon."

For Gen Z, building wealth is in the stock market for housing

SOFANA JONES

Kara Cummings got into personal finance on 2020, when "the wealth was kind of crumbling," she said. It was her junior year of college, and some students had organized a personal finance workshop to help good's ancestors during the coronavirus pain.

"It was such an even-upable time," said the Cummings, 46, who lives in Cleveland. "I think people were like, 'We really need to be thinking about these things kind of early.'"

After taking the workshop, she opened a Roth individual retirement account and handed it with earnings from a sum-pot retirement, three firms, the 5 combined investing. When she was hired at a management consulting firm after graduating, she contributed to her company's profit plan and handed her Roth RIA with her annual bonuses. She has an emergency fund that she keeps in money market funds and a separate, passive investment portfolio.

Eventually, she'd like to buy an apartment in a big city. But buying a home can't something she is actively saving for, and an alternative to a home is investing money on 2020, either. She is currently living with her parents before moving out to a pet business school later this month.

Rising housing costs and high mortgage rates are making buying a house increasingly less likely to be part of a home. The U.S. has a 1.2 per cent investment wealth, according to a New Research Center survey published in June, 2020. The U.S. has a 1.2 per cent wealth on the 1st and 2nd of the 2nd.

"Compared to before when people stayed at their canoes longer and compared with the previous and things like that, I think people have to find for themselves a little bit more," Mr. Cummings said.

Adams Katz, a Stanford University scholar who has done extensive research on Gen Z and co-authored the book Gen Z, Updated: The Art of Long is a Digital Age and that Gen Z is a global market research center.

"For Investors, there was a sense that you have your home, that you build your wealth, that you could build an estate," Mr. Katz said. "For Gen Z, when we did our study, they did not have any more of that. One of the things you made from these very few people to be Gen Z, is to be different. You have more than a belief that this world they were going to know was a world of change."

Jeff Maup, 18, works part time as a chart-reader while attending Digital school to become a pilot. He has on hand, One, where the median cost of a home has room to $18,000,000, nearly 75 per cent higher than in years ago.

The world's breadbuskets are getting pounded by war, weather and trade spots

EDWIN SENGUPTA

I start noodles 10ct chapels. Blood bread.

What is at the heart of the modern diet, and this year, it is facing an accumulation of modern dangers. The breadbuskets of the world are getting gummed by dense eddies and derisks modern, nudging prices high-or amid already soaring food costs in the wake of the lean war.

Heat and drought have diminished harvests in some of the biggest wheat-producing countries, including the United States, which is expected to have its worst wheat harvest in a half-century, spiking prices. Poor countries that agreed to buy American wheat under the threat of Young (unfit) could be much paying abnormally high prices.

The Black Sea, a crucial passage for the global wheat trade, is an active theatre of the Russia-Ukraine war, while the thumb-matter's attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have already forced grain shipments to take a longer, more expensive route around South Africa.

Beyond that, a supercharged 10-liter-burther threatens the state in the Panama Canal, while drought has reduced water levels to profoundly low levels in transit routes like the Rhine and Danube rivers in Europe, raising transportation costs. All this at a time when the global atmosphere is better than normal because of a cornery of fossil fuel burning, threatening the livelihoods of small farmers in poor countries.

The simultaneous troubles reveal the risks inherent in the global food system today. Only a few crops, like wheat, provide most of the world's calories. Relatively few governments dominate the export of wheat, including Russia, Canada, the United States, Ukraine and the European Union. The food industry has already been committed that no longer gives much of the food their people eat.

The system set currently here in place depends on three things: earnings trade, cheap energy, stable climate, "said from France a professor who makes the global food system at the University of Carlyle." Today, it seems none of these assumptions are met.

The things are as politically potent as the price of bread, and wheat prices were already at a three-year high in July, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. The UN agency has warned if higher prices later this year.

The saving grace is that the world had a hungry crop of wheat last year, and global stocks remain strong. The U.S. said Monika Telfovra, an economist who specializes in commodities at the Food and Agriculture Organization, is that "several sources of uncertainty begin to reinforce one another."

A combination of 10-liter-wedded weather impacts across major countries, renewed constraints on Black Sea exports and further disruptions in the shipping routes would have implications for beyond wheat production it—off the said.

Russia and Ukraine together account for nearly a third of the wheat that the world buys. This year, just as harvests began, the global trade seems much greater. In recent weeks, Russia and Ukraine have stepped up their attacks on such other 3 grain export terminals and ships in the Black Sea, a waterway they share to get their goods out in the world.

In the critical Russian Black Sea port city of Novorodensk, grain terminals suspended operations after a dense attack in early August.

That attack followed a Russian bombing campaign against the Ukrainian port city of Orbas, which Ukraine relies on to get its grain out. A potential alternative, the Danube River, is far more difficult to begin with—and this year, the Russian water levels have implemented much of drought. When Russia invaded Ukraine and blocked its black Sea grain trade in year at the beginning of the war, the sharp increase in global food prices put tens of millions of people at increased risk of acute food insecurity.

This time, the Ukrainian App Council, a trade group, has warned of a potential wave of hamburgers amid the blockade, up to 2000. The hamburgers are only facing the agricultural sector are significantly more dangerous and severe in their consequences than even those of 2023?

Whither, this summer spared the wheat belt of France, the EU largest wheat producer that the land has not.

France's market is now a relatively major of record. The consumer, according to government projections, Germany's main farmers group said Tuesday that yields were down the several crops, including wheat, because of drought and back to July, the European trade group for agricultural commodities. Covered, issued a special bulletin, estimating lower grain yields of yield, million tonnes this year, compared with six million tonnes in 2025, for the Continent and for Britain.

However, also a major wheat exporter, planted lower acres of wheat because of high fertilizer costs, stemming from the State of German climate.

From United States to about to have its worst wheat harvest rate now, largely because of a terrible drought in the Great World, the US Department of Agriculture has moved in its latest report this month. American farmers had devoid of fever cases to wheat, and yields per acre were also down.

Rising prices of imported wheat put enormous pressure on governments that are forced to buy high and then help rebound the costs to keep bread prices within the reach of its people.

Egypt, which buys most of its wheat from abroad, including from Russia and Ukraine, has tried to bolster wheat production at home, with the government offering higher prices to farmers. Still, Egypt remains far from reaching anything close to self-sufficiency. There is simply not enough sales to produce what the country needs.

Then there are President Donald Trump's tariffs. To try to avoid additional higher rates, some wheat-interesting emerging economies, such as Bangladesh, agreed to buy substantial amounts of U.S. wheat.

That means they are obligated to go whatever price U.S. wheat goes for this year, even if it is substantially higher than what other countries are offering.

Analysts in Bangladesh have denounced the deal as unfair.

The perils facing the world's breadbuskets come at a time when an IS Nine, a naturally occurring weather pattern, is taking the risks of intense weather for farmers in many parts of the world, including in countries like Ethiopia and Guatemala, where millions of small farmers subvert on what they grow on their own land.

The last major IS Nine events, in 2009 and 2015, worsened the insecurity by an estimated 10 million to 100 million people, the World Food Program estimated.

This time, the World Food Program says, it could expand the ranks of those who are unable to meet their daily food needs to stay million, up from 120 million today. The biggest effects are expected in Central America and southern Africa.

"It is name to think we can say, we a food system built for a different era," Mr. Frantz said. "And so we need to reimagine how to feed ourselves."

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

The Bank of Canada's analysts have flagged concerns about the complex structures and lack of visibility around private lending, a time on its 2016-2020 core tests.

Bank of Canada has concerns about the rise of private credit

Lending model has investors and banks exposed to half a trillion dollars of loans

ORAG LOBB/STYMAN

The Bank of Canada is carefully watching the rise of an alternative credit model that has Canadian investors and banks exposed to half a trillion dollars of loans held largely beyond the public eye.

The concern revolves around private credit, which doesn't have a universal definition that broadly involves businesses taking out loans from non-bank lenders or lending asset managers, insurers and pension funds.

A mid-sized business might turn to private credit if they're looking for money to fund the next stage of growth that are still too small for a traditional bank loan or issuing debt on the bond market.

The share of Canadian businesses making use of private credits still limited, but the rapid adoption of the model worldwide and in the United States it has been tied to high-profile bank ruptures.

Private credit now flagged as a risk in the Bank of Canada's 2026 financial stability report in May. Economists at the central bank released a paper last week tracking the model's growth in Canada, and explaining to a broader audience that private credit is worth watching.

Globally, the uptake of private credit is expanding rapidly at firms such fast and flexible ways to access capital, according to the Bank of Canada.

But the report's authors said the share of loans from non-banks to domestic businesses has held much at about a per cent over the past decade. They said that suggests "private credit has not been displaying traditional sources of funding."

The Bank of Canada's analysts concluded Canadian firms aren't taking out those loans on money, but in many cases, they are underwriting them.

As of the start of this year, the

bank estimates that there was a combined value of $100 billion in private lending by Canadian investors and lending to private credit funds by Canadian banks. Most of that lending activity was in the United States.

Private lending in Canada primarily covers high- and medium-porous funds and asset management. Perhaps counterintuitively, banks themselves are also expecting private credit by lending to funds who are involved in the space.

The Bank of Canada noted that insurers and pension funds are stable investors in the private credit space. Domestic asset managers are a "weak but growing" segment of the market, while banks' exposures to private lending is considered relatively low-risk.

In its May financial stability report, the Bank of Canada domestic private credit risks "managers," but insurers may likely realize, think it's still a space worth watching.

Private credit hasn't been tested in a prolonged market downturn, so it's unclear what kind of injury effects the financial system would see from a shock like that.

"These exposures may help do so with worthless and unpierced turns, but they also create potential channels of contagion," the Bank of Canada economists wrote last week.

"A sharp downturn in the performance of private credit abroad could affect Canadian investors and business lending in the domestic economy."

For Mackenzie, senior policy analyst at the C.B. Hove Institute, said private credit emerged as an attractive option after the 2016-2020 financial crisis, when the initial cost a step back from loans for small and medium-sized businesses and focused on safer, more established firms.

Private lenders engaged in to fill that gap, the Mackenzie said. Interests into corporate credit are usually higher, but businesses might like the speed at which one bank lenders can move and the relative flexibility of their terms.

Mr. Mackenzie said there's a lack of transparency in private credit, however, where deals are

usually negotiated behind closed doors.

"The equipments and not having an explicit definition of what private credit is for those different insurance companies, pension plans, banks to report in their financial statements that alone I think is a bit of a risk," he said.

The Bank of Canada's analysts also flagged concerns about the complex structures and lack of visibility around private lending. Growth in private credit is happening largely outside a regulatory environment, which poses a bigger risk for investors and Canadian financial stability, the central bank report noted last week.

Private companies also don't have the same reporting requirements as a publicly held bank, limiting windows into how stringent underwriting standards are for some private lenders.

Mr. Mackenzie said today's concern over private credit is tied to "focusing" in the United States.

Last year's bankruptcy of First Brands Group, a Texas-based assets-pmr manufacturer largely financed by private credit, was one of the high-profit colleges that sparked alarm in the space.

In Canada, turmoil has been especially pronounced in private real estate funds. From like Text Capital Fund Management, Centurion Asset Management Inc., Avenue Living Asset Management Ltd. and many others have temporarily halted or limited withdrawals from their funds over the past year.

An investor's money is typically out on loan in private credit, which Mr. Mackenzie said means withdrawals typically happen on a stricter schedule than most liquid funds focused on stocks where assets can be bought and sold on a relatively easy loan.

Darnals stability concerns, Mr. Mackenzie said the exposure of Canadian banks to the private lending space could lead to a broader tightening of financial conditions. The funds start to see their loans go bad. In that hypothesisal, instead of lending to domestic firms, banks would be paying that money toward bailing out private credit funds.

The trade war and the181-fore of what is arguably the world's closest partnership have applied andis interscars extremely and economic nationalism. Given the way Canada has been treated by the Trump administration, that is no surprise.

But sometimes rhetoric goes too far, and dreams turn to financial, sometimes we forget the air, emptying price of geography and the foreclosure of economic reality is shining example of that is the record shot up in the financial sector.

Canada's payment system is not for sale! Our trade war with the United States has inspired a sudden interest among new and form-agon economic nationalists in this ownership of Canadian financial infrastructure.

It comes after the day, it announcement that Monette Solutions Corp., the point-of-sale system that Rural Bank of Canada said Bank of Montreal jointly founded in 2016, may be sold to Francisco Partners, a U.S. technology company located in the area in subject to Canadian regulatory approval, raising hopes for some that it could be killed.

The proposal Monette sale, although the United States sold of U.S. lentils and our countermeasures is a check on the limits of Canadian economic nationalism. The episode underscores a handi-truth. Our economy needs a financial system that welcomes innovation and competition—even from the U.S. - and a financial system that reaches south for growth, foreign capital and profit in Canadian shareholders. We have to accept some degree of U.S. extraterritorial reach into our land.

It is a path to prosperity we cannot close. Monette's point-of-sale technology is used by about 25,000 merchants, across the country to provide the billion-aidest and credit-cash transactions annually, about a quarter of all such transactions. Sharon Pribily, from the Privacy and Access to the United States, said the Canadian should be concerned because this is their information.

Retail Bank of Canada had more than 4 million dollars to assure under administration in the U.S. at the close of its 2025 fiscal year. Its capital markets division generated $1.4 million in total revenue in 2025, almost 30 per cent of U.S. for the U.S., versus 40 per cent in Canada.

Roughly 20 per cent of the bank's total revenue is generated from its U.S. operations.

CBD generated 15 per cent, of $1.4 million, of its total revenue in 2025 through its U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management business segments and in 2025, in focus on growing its American footprint.

BANK OF MEGA SCOTIA

The Bank of Meca Scotia has circular ambitions to grow its presence in America. In 2025, Scotia bank made about 12 per cent of its revenue from U.S. operations.

Canadian banks have long paid to play in U.S. financial markets. That price has been accepting the extraterritorial legal study of U.S. administrations into the Canadian banking system. Canadian governments have allowed it to cause the growth of Canadian banks in the U.S. markets in a boom to the Canadian economy.

From after the Sept. 15, 2016, Vermont attacks on the U.S., American legislators passed the Patriot Act. It expanded the powers of the U.S. government to direct, prevent and prosecute terrorism.

The Patriot Act, which was bolstered in 2025 by the U.S. state Money Administration Act, allows U.S. officials to issue a subpoena to any Canadian bank operating in the U.S. for data on their Canadian customers that are subject to a U.S. consumer tax policy. Non-compliance isn't an option.

Data privacy in the Canadian financial system was lost to paying U.S. legal action long ago.

The price of American extraterritorial power became particularly costly for the U.S. and for the Great Financial Crisis of 2025-2030, when municipal changes in the U.S. financial system were adopted in America, and by extension in Canada, too, through the Dodd-Frank Act, passed into law in the U.S. in 2025.

Dodd-Frank required Canadian banks for contracts to completely reorganize their capital markets leading their and reporting in the U.S., Canada, and globally to meet U.S. regulatory requirements. It cost them hundreds of millions in compliance costs in Canada. It continues to cost them millions to due to reanalysis.

In 2025, U.S. legislators also took it upon themselves to pass the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA. To purpose in 30 percent U.S. citizens from avoiding U.S. tax by holding unreported investment income in foreign banks, such as Canadian banks, FATCA complex Canadian banks to act as an arm of the U.S.'s Internal Revenue Service and share Canadian currency data in cases where customers have accounts that hold or can hold U.S. investments. That information is shared with the Canada Revenue Agency, which then passes that individual data along to the IRS.

So the era of trade agreements closes and is replaced by managed trade that is iterative in nature and demands (fintech) continuing attention, Canadians need to recognize the healths that serve our business to interests and those that undermine them.

Trying to stop the Monette sale is one such example. Canadian governments long ago decided to accept American business financial legal power as the price for securing a plan for our financial institutions in American financial markets. It was a price worth paying.

It remains so and is a critical path that Canada's future prosperity depends on.

In the end, Canada and the United States didn't get a trade deal. Ultimately, it doesn't matter.

As a deal would have prevented further economic woes imposed on Canada in the short run that what matters is that the Canary government didn't give in to the Trump administration's economic controls.

The Canary government made during the negotiations but not to the point of increasing out long-term dependence on the U.S. or continuing to the Americans that have been in the U.S. economies. That was the right move. Otherwise, the Americans would even be back for more.

The best way to understand trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. is by viewing these facts as a guide.

Such a guide is best understood as two case training toward each other at full speed. Whichever

driver loses their nerve and swerves first to avoid a head-on collision loses the game. Of course, if nobody swerves, both drivers are hurt, but they retain their reputation.

So, in the case of Canada U.S. trade negotiations, it is Prime Minister Mark Canary and President Donald Trump spending to send cash other.

For the lady's removal deadline of the United States, Mexico-Canada Agreement, Canada didn't swore, despite the implicit threat that the U.S. could gain the USMCA if Canada didn't concede

to U.S. demands. After all, Mr. Trump had begun calling it a land deal for the U.S., even though he said back in 2024 that it was the best deal ever.

In the end, it was the Trump administration that removed Nothing happened on July 1 U.S. Trade Representative Janusco-Graer, who is responsible for negotiating trade deals for Mr. Trump, said the U.S. and Canada would just continue negotiating to use the impression, which by financial Times journalist Robert Armstrong, it was another case of TACO ("Trump Always Chickens

Out").

Then, on July 20, the White House issued a new threat: 50-per-cent tariffs on more than $5920-billion worth of imports from Canada, 20 per hectron, 100 of the Tariff Act of 1920. Mr. Trump gave Canada one month to make a deal to avoid the tariffs.

For the Canary government, the first strategy going into these new negotiations (for a smaller, temporary deal rather than the whole USMCA) was to keep going full-trans ahead and show that it was ready to throw away the winning deal. In the game of chicken, doing so signals to your opponent that you can't source and are willing to crash. It shows how serious you are about holding course and not consisting.

That's exactly what Mr. Canary said he came did. They indicated that they were ready to walk away from a deal and lose the threat, and tariffs. We are told that the U.S. made low-income demands, and thinking that Canada would swore to the end.

A deal where Canada is giving up relatively little tax, putting U.S. house back on the delivery to exchange the two-lectors privately and lower levels of earning U.S. taxes to administer and dest products, for example, was the only deal that Mr. Canary government could sell to Canadians.

Otherwise, it was before to continue agreeing to disagree with the Trump administration and unlike the consequences, which, according to the USMCA, Canadians are willing to do. They don't want to give in to Nothing.

If the Canary government had offered more information - guaranteed purchases of military equipment and systems, or antitrust access to Canada's digital markets for U.S. Big Tech, including for government contracts (now included in the USMCA), which would make Canada more accessible to the U.S. where Canadians would have seen such a deal as "shown does" and caring to Mr. Trump's coercion.

Even if such a deal provides concrete relief, it would have been only temporary Canadians know that if Mr. Trump's coercion's tactics had proven to work on Ottawa, he would have come back asking for more "flesh" in no time.

In the end, deal to an deal, when the USMCA was in the United States. What matters is that Canada's economic and security depended on the U.S. continues to decrease, thereby giving Canadians more leverage vis-a-vis the U.S. in future trade negotiations.

The USMCA has been a serious may be dead, but Canada is now there to pursue its own economic path.

Proceed cautiously with loans for cosmetic surgeries

Use of alternative financing companies has been growing amid demand for procedures

ANNA SHARRATT

Cosmetic procedures in Canada are not cheap. A breast augmentation runs between $8,000 and $16,000, a tummy neck costs $10,000 in $8,000 and liposuction averages $6,000 in $6,000.

These surgeries are rarely covered by provincial health care, yet demand and financing for them have continued to grow in recent years.

And while you can pay for a procedure with a bank loan or a credit card, some predominantly younger clients are turning to alternative financing companies that offer up to $10,000. They provide quick and sure access to money, while traditional bank loans can be harder to secure.

The trade-off is the cost. An alternative cosmetic and medical tender will charge anywhere from 10 to 2000 per cent annual percentage rate, depending on the borrower's credit profile.

Conversely, the average interest rate on an unsecured line of credit ranges from 10 to 10 per cent for borrowers with good credit scores between 500 and 700, according to Equitas.

And if the client owns a home, interest rates for an average home equity line of credit (SILLOC) range from 4.86 to 7.20 per cent, according to Sendampt, an online Ontario-based mortgage broker.

The first question a person seeking medical or cosmetic financing should ask themselves whether they can get a bank loan, said Stacy Tunstrak-Olden, chief executive officer of Money Western, a credit-counselling and debt relief agency in Calgary.

That should enable a person to make an informed decision, she said.

Cosmetic surgeries such as a tummy lock or liposuction are rarely covered by provincial health care, yet demand and financing for them have continued to grow in recent years. TASA WRITTEN THE CANADIAN PRESS

There are a handful of alternative financing companies that provide loans and flexible payment plans specifically for cosmetic, plastic, and elective medical and beauty procedures, often partnering directly with surgical clinics across the country.

Toronto-based Bujana Ceramic is the director of marketing and communication at launch distance, which runs a cosmetic and medical financing program called Medicaid. It offers loans between $500 and $10,000.

Over the past five years the Medicaid business has grown fivefold, its employee count has doubled and sales have increased, she said, declining to provide actual numbers because it's a privately held company.

Medicard offers loans in partner clinics through a quick, electronic approval process in the cosmetic and medical provider offices.

Within minutes, clients get a credit check and can be approved to borrow money for procedures,

with loan terms ranging from six months to seven years and interest rates between 7.46 and 12.0 per cent. If approved, Medicaid pays the provider directly.

And while you can pay for a procedure with a bank loan or a credit card, some predominantly younger clients are turning to alternative financing companies that offer up to $50,000.

The loan process can take between one and five days at a traditional bank. They review a borrower's credit report and score, income, debts and other financial information before approving or denying an application.

Alternative lenders may use different underwriting criteria and algorithms, which can make them an option for clients who

may not qualify for conventional bank financing.

Beautiful, a Vancouver-based financing company specializing in elective medical procedures and cosmetic surgery, has a similar model to Medicaid. Through patient clinics, applicants can apply and if approved obtain fixed-rate installment financing in minutes for loans up to $10,000. Terms range from six months to six years, with interest rates between 3.99 and 10.99 per cent.

According to Ryan Brinkhurst, founder and CEO of Beautiful, the average client has an interest rate of between 10 and 10 per cent on a two- or three-year term, making the loan much cheaper than putting the full amount on a credit card - but more expensive than a bank loan or SILLOC.

"Our average customer at Beautiful is a prime customer and has an over 100 credit score," Mr. Brinkhurst said. "Most of our loans are paid back - we have one collections person."

In addition to cosmetic and plastic surgery, some alternative lenders can also cover boxes, laser hair removal, professional hair transplants, dental work, laser eye surgery, as well as fertility treatments. The cosmetic and elective medical procedure industry is booming in Canada and internationally.

Globally, there were 35 million aesthetic procedures performed in 2025, 4.40 per cent increase from four years earlier, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

In Canada, aesthetic surgery procedures generated revenue of $4.4 billion in 2025, according to San Francisco-based market researcher Grand Yure Shomon.

Much of that growth is being driven by millennials, social-media-savvy consumers in their 300 and early 400, who are purchasing procedures including liposuction, breast augmentation surgery and voicers, as well as services such as fertility treatments.

Although alternative financing leaders generally approve applicants with prime or slightly subprime credit scores of 100 or higher, some borrowers may be more vulnerable if their financial circumstances change, Mr. Tunstrak-Olden said.

"When you take on debt and if you lose your job or you become sick, this will be one of those things that cascades," she said.

Millennials currently have some of the highest delinquency rates in Canada, at 2.00 per cent, largely due to credit-card debt and auto loans, according to Equitas.

Toronto-based Caryl Newbery-Melchick, senior vice president at MSF Ltd., an insolvency firm, said consumers should carefully review the total cost of borrowing - including interest charges and loss - relative to the cost of procedures.

"If you waited six months, would you be able to save up half that cost?" she asked.

Trade: Tariff escalation threatens forestry, small businesses

BY FRIDAY 81

"Not only has it been uncertain, but now it might become even more volatile," he said.

Canada's forestry sector, meanwhile, is "very much collateral damage" in the trade dispute, former Products Association of Canada chief executive officer Derek BigBird said in an interview on Saturday.

Indonesed lumber already faces a so great industry under U.S. section cut tariffs in addition to cumulative, so per cent anti-damaging and countervailing duties.

Now, billions of dollars worth of wood and paper products will lose so-per-cent tariffs.

"We're very disappointed. This is going to be very difficult for our sector," Mr. BigBird said.

He plans to work with the government on support to counteract the impact of the latest trade-war escalation, something Mr. Carney said. "I have it only proved."

Mr. Burby said financial support will "help keep people on the market, but it is not a long-term solution for one."

Mr. Burby said was ultimately abandoned wood have been per-trudiedly preaching for the road sector, with The Globe and Mail previously reporting that Canada would have been obliged to accept both a four-million-tonne group of workers under U.S. and a tariff of a per-cent on-end within that group. Above the quota, the levy would be so-per-cent in addition, Canada would have had to pay $1,000 in countertariffs on U.S. steel.

That would not have been a sustainable option for Canada, according to the head of Canada's main insolvency union.

"The isn't a war a lot gone and boostworthily ground, but this is an

economic war," Marty Warren, United Technologies national director for Canada, said in an interview. "It's up to our generation to stand up for future generations and not lose control of our sovereignty and our Canadian sovereignty, and that's what was at risk."

The new tariffs will even apply to certain goods covered under North America's continued trade deal, the United States' Mercer-Canada Agreement.

"This is a major break from the current tariff environment, where let's place it Canadian government is opposed by specific levels and continued to move tariff this under cover of the existing trade agreement," BRIDG(q) at Marlboro senior economist Robert Karatzis said in a research report published on Saturday morning.

fulness of the existing USMCA." Canadian business investment has recently started climbing to its highest level in a decade, though Mr. Karatzis said the automatic breakdown in trade talks could reverse that momentum.

"Although businesses had been showing signs of looking past tariff headlines, this would be the toughest action since the spring of 2024," he said.

"On one hand, businesses could acquire recognize the need to move past the tariff now, on the other, questions about the offer, and the way USMCA and potential for any lasting trade deal could be human investment over the longer term."

The impact of the latest round of tariffs on small businesses "will be immediate and significant," Canadian Federation of Inde-

pendent Business president Dan Kelly said in a statement.

"According to a survey of 1,192 GDP members conducted in Lansing, roughly as per cent of respondents said they would be affected and of them, one-third said they expect to be at a least half of their revenue as a result of the new levies."

Even businesses not affected directly by Mr. Trump's most recent tariff sales have come for concern.

"The unpredictableity of U.S. administration tariff policy means it is not possible for businesses to predict which sectors might be next," BHC Economics said in a report published on Saturday.

"And that unproducibility is a weight on business confidence across all trade covered industries, not just those directly targeted with tariffs."

Good Moon, a former CEO of Royal Bank of Canada who is currently a member of the board of directors for George Nelson Ltd and investment giant BlackRock Inc, said in an interview that can cost circulation and profit on the damage that Mr. Trump has in-flighted on Canada U.S. infrastructure launching his global trade war last spring.

"The worst-case scenario is more and more escalation and that's what has been done in trying to avoid, but whether it's avoidable or not is a big competition to which I don't think anyone has the answer because you're dealing with a very unpredictable side," Mr. Nixon said.

"The Prime Minister and Canada are very predictable. We've got a brilliant negotiating team and a very strong and rational and logical Prime Minister, but you can't negotiate with yourself."

Kelley Canada has world's least unfavourable U.S. trade arrangement

BY FRIDAY 81

The Carney government ultimately decided to call Mr. Trump's blurb in the hope that being a major part the war to a loss had outcome.

There will be short-term pain. There may be long-term pain.

But there is no zero-poor, all-gain option on the table. Mr. Trump has never offered a return to tariff-free trade between our two countries. That's not what he's after.

The talks were about how much the U.S. would agree to come to Mr. Trump's tariffs on Canada, and what we would give in return. But even lower Trump tariffs would be considerably higher levels on Canadian exports than the pre-corp status quo of your own tariffs.

It's a strong administration but imposed trade arrangements on all trading partners that are worse than those that control prior to ours. Washington told some companies that the U.S. trade with higher tariffs, or even higher tariffs it goes there a choice between that and hidden - and told them to pay a amount if they want to be hit with mostly bad.

Because U.S. administration's higher tariffs are being a low-cost benefits. They of course wanted America to be good, powerful and successful. They weren't running a shump. But they believed that both sides could win if trade was free, or at least.

As the U.S. trade is a little, Washington operated on the assumption that lower tariffs between low-walking, advanced and highly integrated economies would deliver a win-win. Barriers for-

came the exception, free trade became the rule.

The result was a series of trade agreements matching back-dealers, and a relationship which would all goods crossed the fore for tariff-free.

Since the 1950s, Auto Tax, our two economies have been increasingly integrated. We make things together, with the automatic sector the best known example. There are no purely American-made or Canadian-made cars, there are North American cars. The industry is more efficient and productive, and more internationally competent, because of free trade. It's win-win.

That is not the Trump administration's vision.

Mr. Trump and his crew have repeatedly said that they don't want to enjoy or care, and/or offer manufactured goods from Canada. From everything we know of U.S. demands over the past year and a half, and the past few weeks, it's clear that Mr. Trump's words are not just rhetoric. These are policy goals.

But here's the thing: negotiations weren't taking place in a legal vacuum. The counterreal trade talks is not a tabular case. We have the USMCA - changing keep up signed by three countries and notified by the U.S. Congress.

As Mr. Carney put it on Saturday, we have a deal, we have side letters - all those are being included, but do not die out!

The PM has repeatedly said that, even with everything Mr. Trump has done, Canada has the world's best trade arrangement with the U.S., with the lowest average tariffs.

Is that true? It depends on how

In dealing with Canada, Washington operated on the assumption that lower tariffs

between two wealthy, advanced and highly integrated economies would deliver a win-win. Barriers become the exception, free trade became the rule.

you define 'best'.

Because Washington has until now respected many provisions of the USMCA, the average tariff on Canadian exports to the U.S. is up to $1 million. But least by other countries. However, the average U.S. tariff on Canada is considerably higher than under the old North American free trade agreement, or the latter of the USMCA. It's much higher than before Mr. Trump returned to office.

Cutting that the world's 'best' trade across to the U.S. is the last-fair way to put it. It would be more accurate to call it the world's least unfavourable U.S. trade arrangement. It's the least bad, compared with the pre-Trump status quo.

"The past month of Canada U.S. negotiations was about how much over unfavourable of a trade on a ship we could be forced to accept. The White House was pushing to see how much higher a tariff barrier Canada would agree to, relative to pre-corp, and what we'd concede to avoid even worse."

"That comes next! If you've been reading and watching U.S. news media this summer, you'll have noticed that the trade war on Canada simply didn't clear and Friday night. "Cutting Mr. Trump's blurb has predicted, matter onto the front page and the top of the news hour. This is an opportunity.

Our best path of persuasion is at the back door of the White House, the through pressure brought by American businesses, American politicians and American voters.

The pressure will be induced by Canadian countertariffs,

which should be levied in the hope of encouraging Americans to speak up, and Washington to back down.

But we have another weapon. Mr. Trump's occasional attempts to characterise Canadians as "tandy" don't conform to Americans' perception. We've the country that pulls have historically shown Americans have the most positive feelings toward. They will scratch their heads at the declaration of trade war.

Talk down meaningless will much the President for picking a fight with the nicest people on Tariff.

The message Canada needs to send is that we still want to be that best friend, best neighbour and best trading partner. We need to get our spokespeople on U.S. airwaves once again, particularly those who are open to voting voters open to swinging against Mr. Trump.

Get Ontario's former Doug Ford back on U.S. TV. And call on his Manitoba state to make it all for now, who will receive a friendly hearing from many Republicans.

The pitch is that Canada wants to keep the relationship, which goes back generations and includes shared expertise on the field of trading. Quite so won't understand why Mr. Trump is so intent on winning our partnership.

If you're lost Canada, do you have any friends left?

To have any hope of changing the behalf, we will be U.S. government, we have to appeal to Americans and American business.

We also have to be prepared for the U.S. ship of state to stop the course.

Quebec agents expected to get steady as demand for affordable units remains high

BY FRIDAY 81

Never two-bedroom apartments tend to be priced in the 10,000 to 15,000 range, said Allen Zaltman, a former state's most-strong manager with Brazil LePage in Montreal.

That means demand for cheaper units has been unisonifying, and prices have climbed, even during periods where other major cities saw fairly sure to average cost per unit.

Marlin Brodan Brozault, senior economist at Desjardins, said that rent has started to decrease this year in Montreal, but at a rate of 1.5% in the year's home business and Vancouver, which have seen multiple years of increasing sales.

"We don't expect return to fall much lower, especially because the demand for affordable units is still really high," said Mr. Brodan. "We have to pay for the new low back for cleaning months is that next time will remain steady. Another factor driving up

demand is that Quebec has a uniquely high proportion of rent of households with people living on their own; Mr. Zaltman said.

That rate in Toronto is 12.4 per cent, and in Vancouver 12.7 per cent, compared with Montreal's 10.8 per cent and Quebec City's 12.3 per cent, according to data.

Quebec is one of the few

from 2020 referenced in a recent Desjardins report.

"That population (of single renters) is requiring nothing but the smallest units and the most affordable," said Mr. Zaltman.

However, Montreal and Quebec City are still ahead of other major Canadian cities when it comes to the proportion of income that is spent on rent. Even after increases in rental rates, the average renters in the two cities spent at per cent of their income on rent, while both Torontoians and Vancouverians who rent spend 12 per cent, on average.

making it easier for landlords to increase rent by finding a new tenant themselves.

Quebec is one of the few jurisdictions that prohibit major rent increases between tenants, but those rules are easily enforced outside of a lease assignment, at the onus to on the new renter to figure out what the previous tenant paid.

For example, in tenants, the province has already allowed landlords to increase rates quicker than other jurisdictions in recent years. Landlords were allowed to increase rates by 1.5 per cent on 2020, even if they hadn't done any work to an apartment. In comparison, Ontario's maximum allowable increase was 12 per cent.

"For years, the amount that landlords were officially allowed to increase rates was under 1 per cent," said the 3rd of the 3rd.

"There's now very little margin for people to refuse a large increase."

Pickleball: Company has sold more than 100,000 pairs, about $6.8-million in sales

FROM B1

His black eye served as the catalyst for the product that took Mr. Robins out of professional retirement - lensless eye-protection frames called Kitchen Blockers.

Launched at months ago with his business partner, from Kats, the eyewear is made of a mixture of regular plastic and stronger polycarbonate, he said. The protective ball-moss-shaped frames sit on one's cherubones. Mr. Robins calls the patented name the 'spout bumpy' which acts as a guard to the ball.

The product results for 10½ oz and does not have lenses, in avoid issues of scratches or glare in the indoor sport.

Mr. Robins said he has import- tested the eyewear himself using a ball machine.

Despite the arguably funky look of Kitchen Blockers, the Canadian entrepreneur believes the eyewear could become as recognizable as a hockey or bike helmet within the growing sport of pickleball.

Since launching 18 months ago, the company says it has sold more than 100,000 pairs, which translates to about $6.8-million in sales to date. The frames are manufactured in China and garner 'healthy profit margins.' Mr. Robins said. Kitchen Blockers are available in 24 countries and are sold at various stores including the online retailer, Pickleball Central.

But given the lucrative industry of sports lighters, what about the players who are worried that Kitchen Blockers will ruin their outfit?

Mr. Robins recognizes that the look of his product is not for everybody, but inspires pickleball players to think about eye protection.

'Find something that's right for you and that matches the outfit you want, and please get on the court wearing something on your eyes,' he said. 'The brand's 'big-selling colour' is clear, and it has also launched a line of slim frames for smaller faces.'

Some users have pointed out that Kitchen Blockers do not fit all face and nose shapes. With a surge of pickleball popularity in Asia, Mr. Robins said the brand is

working on a new adjustable nose piece to accommodate a greater diversity of players. The brand plans on staying in the lane of eye protection, but is

also targeting the padel market. The sport is growing in North America and involves hitting the ball off the wall, like in squash, but bounces the scoring system used in tennis.

Mr. Robins previously ran an advertising agency and later landed in athletic representation. He completed a leadership stint at DNL, where he did offuse branding for big-name hockey clients.

With this background, Mr. Robins seems to have capitalized on the already brand's names of pickleball. 'Going on 18 months, I have yet to make a proactive sales call,' he said.

In between matches, that's clear on the court has spread the word about Kitchen Blockers. Rob Kitemanich, a Toronto-based wealth manager at CBC Wood Candy, picked up pickleball during a 2026 holiday to Florida after tennis courts were shut down, and took his own 'national' to the sport, which he plays on the weekends.

Mr. Kitemanich, 60, has quickly shot up the ranks of pre-level pickleball men in the Robins while competing at the Canadian nationals in Kingston, Ont., in 2022. At that tournament, Mr. Kitemanich won the men's singles, doubles and mixed-doubles games in the various category.

He picked up a pair of Kitchen Blockers after seeing a senior pro player in Florida wearing the lensless product, not knowing that they were Mr. Robins's idea.

On the court, he appreciates the product's comfortable design that eliminates concerns about fogged, smudged or scratched lenses.

'It was a no-brainer for me. If I'm outside and it's really bright, I'll wear my sunglasses, but I will not go on court without,' he said.

Mr. Kitemanich is set to represent Team Canada at the Pickleball World Cup in Vietnam in September. 'The same enough players and buddies that got hit in the arena,' he said.

'Pickleball, a lot of times, if that buffs up high ... you just don't have time to react.'

Bitcoin and gold shot higher this week, with both get into a boost from some frantic action surrounding the bond market, and the cryptocurrency also benefiting the stock equity in high interest.

Bitcoin was dropped from January high around 10.9kbps on to below 15.8kbps on at the end of June. Investors, their own from speculative assets rather in the year and equity supporters were concerned about the lack of movement on proposed regulation of the industry. On Friday, bitcoin rose above 15.8kbps on.

Gold hit a high above 10.9kbps on January but dropped to around 10.4kbps on June as using rates made investment bearing investments more attractive. Gold rose to 10.4kbps on Friday.

The first just arrived Wednesday when the Treasury Department announced plans to significantly increase its high interest rate by January, or government director on the same day. President Donald Trump, who made about 10.4k-billion last year from various crypto holdings, urged Congress to move quickly on crypto legislation.

There was an almost immediate reaction, which included a dollar off-off, and a jump in the value of gold and bitcoin as investors moved toward alternative assets.

Now there two investments caught fire can be understood in the context of several developments this week.

In a surprise announcement Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department said that it would at least double the size of its planned purchase of longer term governments like. The management was intentable to calm bond market after a sustained sell-off, meaning investors were asking for higher yields to fund money, and that it would not only overtook the yield.

That's because while the Treasury intervention worked, at least for a short period, it also noted questions about whether the government is trying to push borrowing costs lower despite inflationary pressures. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett is attempting to lower long-term borrowing costs, a result that can put upward pressure on inflation as a time when inflation is already elevated. Mr. Bennett's state-more could handcuff the Federal Reserve, which lights inflation by raising interest rates.

The industry's first national debt, which surpassed a record 10.4k-billion on the same day that the Treasury's actions unfolded. The milestone figure was recorded just five months after the U.S. hit a record 7.9k-billion debt in North. It reached 10kbps million five months before that. In October.

There is already a lot of anxiety over inflation, particularly because of the conflict in loan and waiting energy prices. If yields on U.S. bonds are not truly reflecting risk, you can often see that play out in the value of the U.S. currency, which took a significant downward among Wednesday.

So where does the money that was invested in the dollar or Treasury's get? The week, it appears to have been funnelled into what is known as the "delincentred trade," when investors fixed into alternative assets such as gold, which rose more than a per cent Wednesday. The delincentred trade now includes bitcoin. Bitcoin jumped more than as per cent this week.

Since taking office, Mr. Trump has pushed policies broadly to the crypto industry and received a likely administrative action on the market.

The Treasury's actions negatively affected the money in terms of credit trade on U.S. bonds and the dollar, and invested the value of bitcoin. That meant that many investors who had derived bitcoin, or who that in price would remain subdued, were forced to close their positions as bitcoin surged. Closing these boards positions required buying back the digital asset, adding even more upward pressure to bitcoin's price.

By Friday, more than 10k-billion in boards crypto positions had been liquidated during the talk, according to the Glass, which made cryptocurrencies derivatives markets.

And because bitcoin was already rising, those forced purchases added fast to the rally, potentially triggering still more liquidations as prices climbed.

Why the bond market is flexing its muscles, and why everyone needs to care

STAN CODE CHRISTOPHER RUGARER (EDUCATOR)

The bond market is one of the few forces in the world, strong enough to get a profit return to may be common. It also helps the stock how much will have people have to pay on their mortgages and car loans, as well as how much they can from their savings account and carEx plans.

This week, rising bond yields forced the U.S. Treasury Department into an unusual interest rate and around the spaces of higher borrowing costs putting the brides on consumer money, the likelihood of the consumer's also spoiled consumer loan receives single family of thinking twice about financing a earnings by endless flow of government borrowing.

Since a book at what's going on and how it affects everyone.

When governments and big companies borrow money, they don't ask a bank for a loan. Instead, they call TUCs to increase and promise to repay the money with a certain interest rate. If those KOs are set to be repaid many years from now, they're called bonds. (KOs are 5 government will repay more quickly, are more often called bills to none.)

Investors in the bond market often feel and tell these bonds as for they're instead, and they continue to pay the same interest rate. But if the bond starts to look low attractive, a buyer can get bonds that were earlier worth 10kbps for less than that. Such a drop in price means the new buyer will get a bigger return, percentage-wise, on their money than the interest rate the bond pay on in face value. This payment can be called the bond's yield.

The world's biggest and most important bond market is the KOs from the U.S. government, which are called Treasury. The total loss of it was 10kbps million, as if it's according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.

Yet Treasury are facing more competition from higher-yielding bonds on non-charism recent decades. After years of near-term interest rates, even as year have been government financing, the company more than a per cent. Yields on U.S. bonds have run to find a lot per cent, and German bonds are also paying a lot per cent, versus a per cent for a comparable U.S. bond. It's a big reason U.S. rates have been drifting higher.

In Jersey, chief U.S. interest rate strategies at Bloomberg Intelligence, said that large global investors such as German funds and life insurers used to have little choice to invest in Treasury because most other overseas bonds paid on little interest.

Now the U.S. company publishes to compare with all those other overseas bonds. Yet Jersey said, "The U.S. is not the only game in town anymore."

The current example is mortgage rates. Rates for those loan tend to follow the path of paid-for-Treasury that will get repaid to it rates.

The so-year Treasury yield is the contemporary of the bond market, and it short-lights through the customer after the war with loan sent off prices higher and revenue about inflation upward, adding to long-standing concerns about the size of the U.S. government's debt.

That, in turn, would mortgage more expensive for people looking to buy a house. The average so-year, fixed-rate mortgage is near its highest level in a year, also managing people already received the price of homeowner's may be too high.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett's announcement Wednesday that the government would double its buybacks of longer-term bonds on non-bonded interest, down the so-year Treasury yield and lower mortgages. Yet the more brought-only temporary relief, with the so-year yield rising back to a 1% per cent Friday, made up its highest point in more than a year.

Thierry Nissman, global rates strategist at Macquarie Group,

said higher mortgage rates will likely discourage some consumers from buying homes. At the same time, higher yields generally should slow more investment into house assets by large middle-fines investing in AI infrastructure.

"The private sector wants to have the AI revolution," Mr. Nissman said. "What's going to take a step back? It's going to be the consumer, and higher yields are going to do that a little bit."

Other parts of the market, including where the Federal Reserve sets the interest rate for very short-term overnight loans, affect rates for everything from credit cards to savings accounts to auto loans.

Generally, higher yields and rates begin to apply with a lot of carers. It means they are earning more from buying money to the U.S. government or clicking their cash in a high-yield savings account.

Higher yields and rates, meanwhile, tend to hurt people who are borrowing money. They also discourage the stocks, gold and even cryptocurrencies. The thought is: Why should anyone pay high prices for milder investments when U.S. Treasury, which are supposed to be sales, are paying more than before?

Washington continues to spend far more than a hinge in through revenue, so it has to borrow money to cover the gap. That has sent in and didn't to more than 10kbps million, a staggering record, and the number keeps standing by the day.

When yields are rising, the U.S. government has to pay higher interest rates to notice buyers for its bonds when it auctions off Treasury.

The federal government has already paid 10kbps billion a semester on its debt through the first six months of its fiscal year, which ends in September. That's more than it spent on health, national defense or revenue benefits and is just behind Social Security and Medicare.

Wall Street week ahead: Nvidia earnings, Jackson Hole to test pillars of stock rally

LAURA MATTHEWS

Nvidia's earnings report and the U.S. Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium will test the assumptions behind this year's stock market rally, offering clues on whether the AI drives surge in logistics can withstand strong uncertainty over growth and interest rates.

Global bond yields surged this week, sending the so-year Treasury yield to its highest level since the 1980s, which includes and rising concerns about borrowing costs for households and campuses investing heavily in AI infrastructure.

The Treasury Department's efforts to calm markets by doubling buybacks for long-dated debt off fixed-rate, by brief relief, with public看sioning on Thursday, sharpening focus on the Aug. 27 to 29 event in Jackson Hole to see how much of the 1980s's investments carry policy in an environment where guidance has been dropped.

"All eyes are going to be pointed towards Jackson Hole. Because there's still not a whole lot of money, but we find with the bond market today," said David Wagner, head of president at Aptus Capital Advisors. The 587 cps is down this week and about a per cent below its record high, as rising Treasury yields fuel worries about borrowing costs, weighing on semi-conductor stocks and dragging the Philadelphia chips made down some 1 per cent for the week.

SIVOLA REPORTS AND MARKET FITTERS

Nvidia, whose chips underpin much of the AI infrastructure holdout, reports second-quarter results on Aug. 26. The company backworms uproot for the head of AI ecosystem spanning chip makers and companies financing the third-quarter of the data collection capacity. Its results could offer new insights into the demand underpinning that sector.

"The markets is so reliant on the AI trade today, and Nvidia is obviously the big key to the record," said Erin Kratz, chief investment officer at Arena Private Wealth. "It's got implications across everything. We've had so many deals from Nvidia and thousands of the industry."

Nvidia recently trained to with six major financial institutions on financing platforms targeting more than 10kbps million for AI infrastructure, highlighting the massive capital required for companies that government are to build data centres for AI worldwide.

MARKET'S JACKSON HOLE DEBUT

At the same time, investors will be looking to Jackson Hole for clues about the policy environment in which that expansion will take place. It will be the Marsh Administration that appears near since taking office in May, 2020.

With Mr. Marsh stepping back

from traditional forward guidance, investors see the event as another opportunity for him to show a gap marked how he extends to approach insurance policy and articulate the framework that will define his long-term strategy. He settled markets after the last morning provided insurers about how policy makers might respond if inflation remains stubbornly elevated.

"The type risk is so direct," said Will Starling, chief investment officer at Trimethumel Wealth. "We have a gap. Our policy is not forcing the data-dependent framework and paying 'watch the numbers.' I think he's OK with the market should figure it out a little bit."

With July's personal consumption expenditures - the fully preferred inflation measure - and a report on U.S. economic growth coming before the symposium, investors will get an updated picture of inflation and income momentum that could reshape expectations for interest rates.

Markets are now pricing in a 50

per-cent chance of a September rate hike, with the odds rising to 60 per cent by December. U.S. Treasury yields rebounded on Thursday, undoing much of the previous day's decline despite the Treasury Department's efforts to bolster liquidity in long-dated next week bonds.

Aptus' Mr. Wagner said Mr. Marsh's move away from forward guidance could prove beneficial over time by discouraging investors from treating fuel signals as promises, a word of mouths to get the market's return. "It's a little more than that. That's a lot of money," said Markets.

"Everyone's way ahead that the tech reputation is now intended because at Marsh," he said. "I think the tech's as independent as it has over been because you had those these dissents ... on what rates should be done. That's a lot of economic about the fed-moving forward. That could speak markets to give them conviction."

Why Ajax is the best place for renters in the Toronto area

GLYNA GRANDY

If the Globe and Mail's next national city rent ranking didn't convince Toronto-area renters to book it to the prairie provinces, now men by the time to consider a move to Ajax or Orangeville - and negotiating power part may be on their side.

Ajax led our regional ranking which looked at the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). When ranked on a list of 22 cities in the area, as well as Toronto, the community scored by marks on affordability, availability, stability and livability. Our methodology placed greater emphasis on the two factors:

From March to May of this year, which the regional ranking is based on, Ajax's average asking rent price was $2,387, while the national average for June was $6,750.

For affordability, the community of Orangeville came in his 1, with an average asking rent of $2,336, next to Toronto's average of $4,000. It also placed second on the overall national rankings.

Sahine El Ghal, managing director for Rattonwood Property Management Inc., which serves the CTA, said she has seen a trend of current tenants pushing for lower prices as asking rents have decreased its some areas.

"Every day, we got a tenant saying, 'I want, I want to stay in the rental unit, but I see that off-road-enter-terminologies or in the same building are likely to be a late. If you lower it to me, I'm happy. I'm very. Otherwise, it makes more sense for me to move in the same building to another unit,' said Ms. El Ghal, who is also a real estate broker with Keller Williams Portfolio Realty.

Although not a universal trend among all communities,

our data found availability of units was up in most places since 2022, including Ajax and Orangeville.

Rentals in communication director Giacomo Lados said now it's promising time for renters to weigh their options.

"If you're navigating the rental market, you have a lot of choice. There's a lot of supply, and you have a lot of bargaining power," he said.

Mr. Lados added that Rental 1.0a also has seen an increase in

both Toronto and CTA condemnsing offering move-in incentives. For example, receiving months of rent fees, cash bonuses, gift cards or included utilities. Lumber Forgis, a partner of two small children, tests a three-ball room townhouse in Mississauga with her husband for $3,200 per month. Although not an ideal price for her family to save, it's too put with the average price of $3,385 for a three-ball room in the suburban city, and places fourth on our list overall.

FETE PUNCTIVE CLOSE AND WALL

"We are stretched pretty thin. We could definitely see more space," she said about the property her family has rented since 2024, adding that rent takes up about 40 per cent of her household's income, opposed to the of ten-odd 30-per-cent affordability threshold.

But older stepchildren nearby, proximity to work and transit as they has been made. Although, first like home for the 40-year-old and her partner still, Ms. Forgis has caught wind that her neighbours

in the same style of townhouse who moved in below prices shot up are paying hundreds less for the same features.

"We moved at our the best time, but also it kind of hasn't been the best time since 2022," she said. As a result, Ms. Forgis said she is buying the market will be on her side as she considers searching for something cheaper or more spacious nearby.

Fils beats American Tiafoe in men's Cincinnati final

JEFF WALLNER MACON, OHIO

Goes Gauff defeated fellow American Jessica Pegula, 0-2, 0-4, to capture her second women's Cincinnati Open title on Sunday, and Arthur Fils of France defeated American Francis Tiafoe 0-2, 1-0, 0-0, in the men's final for his first Masters 1000 title.

In Saturday's semi-finals, Pegula beat defending champion Iga Swank and Gauff defeated Sara Rejtek to set up the first all-American women's final at the Cincinnati Open in 26 years.

The last time two American women played in the Cincinnati final was in 1975, when Rosie Caudé beat Nancy Bailey.

Pegula's best finish in Cincinnati came in 2014, when she lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the final.

Gauff, who won the 2015 title beating Karolina Muchera, stunned out to a 3-0 lead in the first set on Sunday before winning 0-2. Pegula battled back to within 1-4 in the second before Gauff closed out the win. Gauff won five of six break points.

The head-to-head series between Gauff and Pegula is now tied at five apiece. Sunday was their second meeting in a final, with Gauff winning at Wuhan last year.

The Fils-Tiafoe match was the first time two Black players have met in an ATP Masters 1000 final.

Fils is the third Black man to win a Masters 1000 title, joining Ken Shelton, who

France's Arthur Fils celebrates after defeating Francis Tiafoe 0-2, 1-0, 1-0 in the men's final of the Cincinnati Open on Sunday. NATION FOUNDING/GETT AWAY

won twice in Canada, and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who won in Paris in 2010 and Canada in 2014.

At 10 years old, Fils is the youngest French champion in Masters 1000 history. He became the second French player to win a Cincinnati final, joining Gavi Fugay in 1988.

"Very happy with that," Fils said. "It's been a tough last year. I didn't play the

French Open [due to a hip injury]. I lost early in Washington. People think that I'm done. But here we are. I got the title."

It was the second time Tiafoe has appeared in the Cincinnati Open final, losing to Jannik Sinner in 2014. He was looking to become the first American male to win in Cincinnati since Andy Roddick in 2008.

"I'm going to have two Cincinnati finals trophies at the crib," Tiafoe said. "I wish

they were both champion ones. Losing on Sunday sadis, I've had a tough summer. I was able to play five great matches and beat quality players."

Fils overpowered Tiafoe early in the first set on Sunday, winning 12 of 13 points to take a 3-0 lead. Tiafoe was dominant in the second, rolling to a 3-0 lead.

Tiafoe used the time break before the third set to stretch and receive massage treatment on his upper left leg and lower back.

"My hip bothers me a little bit, but that's neither here nor there," Tiafoe said. "It's not about how I feel. I'll be alright in a week [for the U.S. Open]."

Tiafoe saved three championship points in the final game before Fils closed out the victory.

The Frenchman had to ace and won 75 per cent of his points on first serve. He improved to 10-0 in deciding sets this year and 8-0 against American opponents.

Fils also won his only previous meeting with Tiafoe in Miami last year, also in three sets.

"It feels very good to have a trophy next to me, especially Masters 1000," Fils said. "Never won one before. You just have to stay positive and find a way to make it work. Being positive is going to help me in the next weeks in the U.S. Open."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Monday Morning Halfback: the PWHL's missing trophy; a Canadian U.S. Open winner?

CARYALL KELLY JAMES ROSS

Jamie Rose is the Sports editor at the Globe.

Cathal Kelly is the national sports columnist.

Cathal, with all the recent fans around Mark Walter's disappearing sports empire, his ownership of the PWHL got nary a mention until Friday, when the league's championship trophy (named after Walter himself) went missing. What's making silver going for these days?

In a nice metaphor about our shaky confederation, the trophy

went missing somewhere between here and Leithbridge.

The reason this trifle of a story has made international news is it's cabinet: cash-strapped sports league. That's a real amount three days. As the AP noted, "unlike the NHL," the PWHL doesn't have a dedicated trophy caddy. Because what respectable sports organization doesn't employ someone full-time is background a piece of the like it's the Rosetta Sinner!

Good for the PWHL for not treating its buddies like body nilin. As long as they didn't ship it Canada Post. For that, there would be no excuse.

Re: Walter's sports empire, this is one of those. "Why didn't I think of that?" scenarios. Apparently, you don't need to have any mon-

ry to buy the Los Angeles Lakers, and the L.A. Dodgers, and Chelsea football Club and a chunk of the PWHL. All you actually need is a bunch of insurance companies willing to give you the money to buy those things, and - yes/no! - you're Jack Kent Cooke.

Watching Walter's empire fall apart - he's just sold the Lakers, and is trying to shed enough of the rest to get himself right with U.S. regulators - is more proud that people in sports aren't smart. They've just figured out new ways to run old cars.

One thing in this mess jumps out of at me - a "key man" (dame as 'Bodges' (Walter's contract, if Walter leaves the Dodgers (and if seems he must), Ohtani can sign out of the biggest deal in baseball

history. And right in time for next year's lockout.

Were you Ohtani, would you leave? And if you went, would it be to go to ... I can't even bring myself to say it.

I.5. Cure The Imperial March. Everyone knows there are only two teams in baseball, leaving Ohtani no choice but to sign with the Yankees. But not before first seeing the Blue Jays as a decoy.

Think of the witty Cathal Kelly columns readers could expect. You'd cherry pick all the good stuff and then leave me and MMBB to off through politics to the DC, but I am getting afraid of myself.

There is still some fruit on the tree this week. How about terms?

The U.S. Open is fast approaching, and the more will not the return of Carlos Alcaraz, just in time for Jannik Sinner to bow out. Should they just stop the whole thing on the men's side and give Alcaraz the trophy?

I.5. I think you're right about the Yankees, as well as the Jays. Ohtani has proved he is the greatest human cash generator in sport. Whatever you pay him will be scooped and more. If he had a shower, he'd be a 15th-to-million-a-year man. I realize the guy has fewer gambling debts to pay off, but if if he had to turn down that kind of money, wouldn't it?

And you know who's going to win the U.S. Open? Ellis Auger-Alamette.

Norris wins Dutch Grand Prix after daring pass

Antonelli, Russell question Mercedes' calls in race

JAMES ELLINGWORTH ZANDSTOORT, NETHERLANDS

Lando Norris had a clear message for his Formula 1 rivals after a spectacular race-winning race on standing leader Kimi Antonelli. Wrote off his title defense at your peril.

This fight is still on," Norris said over team radio after winning the Dutch Grand Prix for back-to-back 3+ victories and a trophy presented by the king of the Netherlands.

Norris asked his McLaren team to "just keep bringing upgrades [to the car] just keep bringing performance please" as he eyes on its point gap to Antonelli.

Max Verstappen nearly ended in a similarly cool backlit year as Norris had to be just two points. Now the British director of the team is

"There's still plenty of things we can do better and need to do better if we're going to fight for a changeovering," Norris added.

Norris started on pole but was overtaken by Antonelli's Mercedes at a restart after the race was stopped for a heavy crash by home hurry Verstappen, who was unhurt, shortly after the start.

Norris ended in Antonelli before passing him around the outside of the first corner on a daring move on lap 1.4 of 72, from took the lead from Ferrari's Hamilton before the lap was over.

The defending champion held on with old tires to take the win. "This fight is still on," he said over team radio.

"The more [to pass Antonelli] was good. I knew he was a going-up guy (Hank) (Hank) is. Every lap I spent behind him my chances of a lower and lower," Norris said. "He'll played from my part... I probably had one chance."

Antonelli was second after his Mercedes teammate George Ravel was ordered to return out of the way following Andre'Gantile on a tire change by Antonelli. Russell slung on to Dutch third ahead of Hamilton.

Antonelli's standing lead grew to 19 points over Russell and Hamilton, who are

now level. Norris moved ahead of Charles Leckey for fourth.

There was tension at Mercedes at both Antonelli and Russell criticised the team's decisions over the radio.

Antonelli called his team's strategy "too risky" when the team congratulated him on second place, while Russell earlier seemed to object to being asked to give way to his teammate.

To be fighting for the win? Or is he planning to catch Norris? Russell questioned, at a point where Norris was far ahead of both.

Russell referred after the race and said he felt Mercedes had made the right decision to avoid the two battling for position in Hamilton should be behind.

Antonelli "would have overtaken anyway so it was the right decision," said Rus-

sill, who would be sprint race Saturday. "It's been a strong weekend overall on 1/3 take the position."

There was a half-hour delay after Verstappen slammed into the wall on a damp first lap, stopping the race and resorting a nightmare end to his last home race in the Netherlands for the foreseeable future.

Just a couple of seconds later, there would have been another huge collision if not for lightning inactivity by the midfianburg, as his Arab teammate Gabriel Bortolles sign across the track. The German snowballman through a cloud of tim would

"I'm not sure with GdU, I almost I've got him," Hallaenberg said over team radio.

The Dutch Grand Prix is going up off for schedule after this season and the many-ve ange-clad Dutch fans who turned up to

support Verstappen instead are Norris and his orange McLaren take the win.

Verstappen said he simply entangled his speed on the damp track after pro-race rain.

Charles Leckey was fifth on another disappointing day for Ferrari ahead of its home race to help in two weeks' time. Norris's teammate Oscar Pautin was still after running in the top three early on, and Liam Levens can speak towards his lead. Both after being called in to replace the injured leash hailing.

Hallaenberg was eighth for Arab, with Fernando Alonso (with in the best results of an effective Grand Prix) 2020 for Aston Martin. Alpine's Pierre Gasly rounded out the top 40.

Winning team will share 53 million prize, as tournament organizers added star power to the event last year to increase viewership

BRIAN MAHONEY NEW YORK

Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz will have to wait a little long, or to learn their first opponent in the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship.

Williams and Alcaraz were drawn Sunday to face one of the teams that advances from the right-team qualifying tournament that will be played Monday.

Williams will be returning to the U.S. Open for the first time in the past. The six-time singles champion and Alcaraz, who has won the men's title twice, were awarded a wild card into the return tournament Saturday.

The first round and quarter-finals of the mixed doubles are Tuesday, with the event finals and the final Wednesday. The winning team shares 53.6 million.

Maresca praises Man City after rallying win

STEVE DOUGLAS

A big welcome from the fans at the start. A telegraphic star was on the 2nd.

For Enso Maresca, it was the 'perfect day' as he earned his first victory as Manchester City.

City was ahead a stirring Saturday in Maresca's first Premier League game in Europe, scoring twice in the final to minutes to get a 2-1 win at home to those moments on Sunday.

India Crusade placed a finish into the bottom corner in the first minute of added on time for the winner, which was usually given official before being awarded following a video review.

Man's battle had equalized with an Aphroimatic header from a corner to start the comeback.

Maresca, the successor to Puy Guardiola, punched the air when Crusade's goal was awarded and finished with the player the final whistle to hug his players.

A huge feature, reading 'Welcome Back Earn,' had been held aloft by City fans as the Italian team's first round of City's 1st-Newswing, 2022-23 season, emerged from the United before kicked.

Waning a sharp Mack suit, Maresca certainly looked the part on the swastline but the clubmate was still playing with City's play under Guardiola down the years wasn't quite there until the late comeback sparked by substitute Keyon Chutka who set up both goals.

'It is the perfect day to be stared,' Maresca said. 'I was very pleased when the game started to see the feature on the other side, and I was pleased because we give them the joy of the three years.'

'It was quite emotional and the perfect day.'

MARESCA THRONE CONFERAS WITH GIEON IN MUFFLES

Maresca began his time as Guardiola's replacement with a 2-0 loss to Arsenal in the Community Shield last weekend and was lead to deal with the departure of star midfielder Rodri to Barcelona.

City might have found a long-term replacement for Rodri in 1st year off Maresca' international ground. Broadh, who is set to join from Lille for €10.5 million (£10.5 million) according to French media, but Maresca opted against Bournemouth to deploy Gaelic 4-quarter back as a holding midfielder instead.

It was a contentious decision given there even other midfield options on the bench, and it might prove to be a star-off, but Gaelic gave into the role.

City striker falling, Aladand wasn't on the scoreboard in the first league game of the season for the first time since joining the club in 2022.

He sported a new hairstyle - a buzz cut that went viral on social media ahead of Oxford - and wanted a couple of great chances to win with it.

JODROCELAI'S LAST ESMALIER THE LEOPPOOL OF WINCKATL AFTER KISSAN TRAVUS

Dominik Sadovoda's coterieled a penalty in the ninth minute of steppage time to salvage a 2-2 draw for Liverpool at Newcastle in a match overcame by two new managers.

Before kicked, the teams used to pay tribute to Kevin Keegan - a fair player for both clubs - following his death last month at age 75. Players from Newcastle and Liverpool were thirty with 'Keegan' and the No. 1 on the back in the women up at St James Park, while there was a mosaic in the centre circle, a tribute video and a huge trio in the stands dedicated to the former England star.

Sadovoda smashed an unstoppable spot kick into the top corner after defeated Victor Mason was leaded as the area in a dramatic finish.

There was a 1-3 minute wait for a video review of the decision.

'I really felt it good,' the thurpery captain said. 'I love the process.'

Joe Willock looked to have scored a 25th-minute winner for Newcastle, one minute after coming on as a substitute and two minutes after Club Galer had equalized for Liverpool. Anthony Almag, an Newcastle ahead in the 50th minute.

Liverpool striker Alexander Sult was joined by Newcastle into when he came off the team coach and then every time he coupled the ball, a hangover from his switch of clubs at the start of last season.

Matthias Lunde was taking charge of Newcastle for first time, while Andrew Inoilo is Liverpool's new manager at Arterth's replacement.

BRIGHTON DEEPERTH VILLA

Brighton scored four goals in the opening 2 minutes and also missed a slow of great chance in a 2-0 hammering of Aston Villa in the other early game.

To make matters worse for Villa, Iran Cameo was sent after kicking out at Brighton's Covington-Rotter in the 2nd for the return sometime didn't coincide any more goals.

It has been a tough off-season for Villa, with her players Morgan Rogers, Dean Dickmann and Ken Kensa having and specialism surrounding the future of 1R16 Watkins and first Marlton of the club.

Brighton was sharper, having been in European qualifying action in midweek.

Halfback: Who makes a better global brand ambassador for Canada than Auger-Aliassime?

V FROM BUI

It's his best surface. Alcaraz has been out four months. Simon's gone, The No. 1 word, Alexander Zverev, wouldn't be major at the French, so he went for desperate. That's the top tier accounted for.

Auger-Aliassime to sit, which seems young until you compare him to Alcaraz (25) and Simon (26). There will never be more or greater opportunity than right now. Maybe he just needs to start learning. Simon can, no one's heady image. I think, a little bit of the time. Similarly, it's not so much that I think he will win as I want him to win. I'm being brided enough to visit for an outcome.

I can't think of anyone who makes a better global brand ambassador for Canada than Auger-Aliassime - just a lovely, lovely guy disagree if he supercharges that image by winning the U.S. 27/Open just as we go to (trade) war with America!

It would be Canada's sports story of the decade, no!

1. Is this you joining the pump for a trip to New York next month? Given that improving menswear will be a pricey proposition if it lands on Caney's retaliatory tariff list, I can see you making a double-humidid trip out of it and struggling a few units from Bloomingdale's back across the border upon return.

As for Auger-Aliassime, I'll take your word that he's a lovely guy but I still think a well-ever off - if not? - Alcaraz is a tough out, especially the late in the season.

Keeping things moving here, we're coming up on an new NFL season. Did you catch the news that The Athletic, the Miami sports media entity owned by the New York Times, could be getting into bed with the league? The individual had some promo of its stories on the NBA league website. Should you pour one out for the idea of independent sports news coverage?

2. Bloomington's? That's the smallest thing you've ever said to me. They have a perfectly serviceable Drake's on Canal 8.

Independent sports coverage went the way of the dishe a decade or more, got out nobody noticed. Once Sports Illustrated collapsed and ESPN stopped up to take its place, it was over. You can't pay to broadcast the games and distally independent journalism on the games. There's no walllight enough to keep that church and that that apart.

The beauty of this system is that there is no actual fix, but one need our anything to anybody else. Everyone just understands the deal. You

can go this far, but no further.

Every once in a while, circumstances loosen the journey a team body to direct. The important thing is to prevent them from following the money up to the top.

This shift didn't register for the first while because the corporate types were coined by the glamour to old-time journalism. It's a League of Deeds could still slip through. But that's ending now.

The fact that the New York Times - from a narrow, first the Times event before - is considered the job being done. NFL'chassis indicative of how far we've fallen.

I'm not sure there ever was a golden era of sports reporting. Sportswriting, sure, but sports reporting? One or another no more of the media has always been in bed with the teams. Which suits me free. There's no business where power is more easily disturbed by the written word. It's dusk burying with a hauseika.

Full back the certain for me, then when do you hear it from some unhappy subject of a 12-day sports story.

3. It's almost never the subject of the coverage you hear from but someone who represents them. I wouldn't say it's common, but it does happen. Most people you encounter are total pros. Randy, you'll get a media relations person who behaves as if they are running the Department of War, making demands over some coverage they disagree with.

With readers, it's usually much more level-headed and sincere. When I get those quotes I do my best to find time to work from a laborious response.

Then there are the eoptiree-filled sails that cannot be expressed here that I save in my own personal digital Wall of Fame. I'm sure you've got a few of these.

Speaking of Walls of Shame, I can't not mention the time, some app, some fiber here players and your group's up to a place to vote area of the clubhouse with a captive 'Dનમાં this to the next year.' It was only thanks to a male or she's one staff that we even found out about that one.

4. So many angers seem, but I hope only a few of them do not even have it, as a shrugsman's bid or - or exceedingly rare cases - learned around the house. That includes the Donalds one that does 'dramed poster'.

I am daily aware that we work from an exalted position - able to command on what's going on without need of fear or favour.

Like legendary Star sports columnist Dave Perkins loved to say after a big event or a night out on the road - 'It's good to be in.'

Wyndham Clark takes victory at BMW Championship

American says the tense won showed he's one of the best in the world

DOUG FERGUSON 17: 1:20:05

Wyndham Clark has been through this before - losing a big lead in the final round, playing alongside a gallery forwards. He finished strong Sunday at the BMW Championship just like he did at the T.S. Open, and closed with an even-par to for a three-shot victory at Bellevue.

Clark won for the third time this year, putting him squarely in the conversation for PCA Tour player of the year, considering one won a major and the other was a FedEx Cup playoff event.

But just like at Minnesota Hills, it wasn't easy.

He lost his five-shot lead to Rory McIlroy in a hole, and it was tense down to the final hour until Clark - without a birdie of day - boiled a birdie putt from just outside to left on the par-three 20th. McIlroy had a putt to match bodies and stayed tied and moved.

McIlroy made a mess of the par-five 20th, going from rough to bunker to bunker for a bogey, and Clark began to pull away with another birdie. He finished with a third straight birdie for style points, finishing at 45 under 25.

"It shows I'm one of the best players in the world," Clark said. "Everyone gives me a lead time and costs for other people. These wins in our season to my best year yet, coming off my worst season."

Clark wasn't the only one with cause to celebrate.

Patrick Cantlay, who came in at No. 43 in the FedEx Cup, showed plenty of mess-

ic. Four times he bounced back from a bogey with a birdie, closing with three birdies in a row for a 40 to finish runner up and tie among the top 10 in the FedEx Cup who advance to the Tour Championship.

The winner next week at East Lake caps on the FedEx Cup.

I'm coming to a golf course that I played with well at next week," said Cantlay, who won at East Lake in 2020 to claim the FedEx Cup. "So I'm really pleased with where my game is at and I think I'm trending in the right direction."

Also moving into the top 10 was Gary Woodland, who pulled within one shot of the lead until topping his tee shot into a crank on the ninth hole on his way to a double bogey. He closed with nine straight putts and fought back to an return to the Tour Championship for the first time since 2020 while recovering from brain surgery three years ago.

He said Saturday, when he was in the final group, took a lot out of him with the noise, the energy and the devices that trip good the kind of brain activity he tries to calm. On Sunday, he tried to embrace it and pulled through with a 50 to tie for fourth.

"I tried to enjoy it," he said. "Outside of topping a ball - I haven't done that for a long time - I'm just really proud."

McIlroy didn't make a birdie over the

last seven holes after tying for the lead, closed with a 50 and finished alone in third.

Robert MacIntyre closed with a 50 and tied for seventh, enough to move him into the top 10 for a return to East Lake. These falling out of the top 10 were Richie Fowler, Bud Cuddy and Kurt Strayman. British Open Champion Ryan Fox, called down the final spot.

Clark didn't like how the round he did at Minnesota Hills, when the New York crowd went from pulling his 50-hole Schofler in his bid for the career. Cured Slate to speedy swirling against Clark. There was one away that boosted. "Get in the bunker!" when Clark hit to the par-three 20th. Otherwise, it was a clear pro-McIlroy crowd.

That was fine with Clark. He overcame three bogeys and a raise of mind where he felt like he couldn't hit the right shot or make any putt. And then he delivered his best swing - and best putt - on a 250-yard par three that yielded only five birdies all day.

"I wasn't really nervous. I was kind of like... out of it," Clark said. "I was making dumb bogeys. I didn't make anything on the greens. When I made the putt on the par three, it got me back. So much as I would have loved to run away with it, it was fun to get the juices going."

"I'm really proud of myself that I didn't hit it got away."

Clark also moved into the top 10, automatic spots who qualified for the Presidents' Cup, joining Scheffler, Cameron Young, Russell Shultz, Sam Bates and Collin Workham, U.S. captain Russell Swedker will have six picks after the Tour Championship. Cantlay rarely got his attention.

Scheffler says he played through disease

DOUG FERGUSON 17: 1:20:05

Scottie Scheffler wrapped a most ordinary performance by his standards with his 18th bogey of the week in the BMW Championship. Turns out it was a most extraordinary week given his health.

"I'm sick," Scheffler said while turning down an interview request Thursday.

After he closed with a two-under 60 on Sunday, Scheffler offered a few more details. He said he was dealing with hand, foot and mouth disease that causes blisters.

"So to start the week it was pretty painful to grip the club," he said. "If I was smarter maybe I would have pulled out, but I was playing so good that the 18 could knock it out quickly and just get through the first couple rounds I would still have a chance."

Scheffler was coming off an eight-shot victory in the FedEx 20th. Championship and, opposed to he hitting his stride at just the right time for the three-week conclusion to the PCA Tour season.

In hindsight, Scheffler said it would have been prudent to pull out with no little at stake. He already was assured of being No. 100 in the FedEx Cup through the BMW Championship, which earned him a 100th million bonus. Inside don't even matter next week at the Tour Championship because all 20 players who advance only have to win at East Lake to capture the FedEx Cup.

"I think that's part of my club-business, probably. That's probably a strength of trust and a weakness of trust," Scheffler said. "I've never been one to one pull out of a tournament, especially in the middle of it. That's really frustrating for me."

"But I'm proud of how I fought," he said. "I've like I'm starting to heal up. My threat is still begging me pretty good. But my hand shut normal today."

His only mistake - aside from these bogeys - was nearly shaking hands with Cameron Young when they finished because he was feeling back to normal.

Scheffler had with three straight birdies that briefly got first single for top 10, but he closed with a bogey from the fairway bunker. Scheffler hit only 50 per cent of his greens this week.

"I felt better at the week went on," he said. "I got sick Monday night. That was probably the most frustrating place playing really good golf, and you come out of the heat and get a little adrenalin, sometimes your body kind of cradles. Then it hit me pretty good all week."

"I'm still not 200 per cent now, but I'll get some sort now and hopefully that will help."

Alker bests Yang in playoff to win Rogers Charity Classic in Calgary

LAURENCE RENNIN CALLAWAY

Steve Alker of New Zealand beat South Korea's Y.E. Yang in a one-hole playoff Sunday to win the Rogers Charity Classic at Canberra Meadows Golf and Country Club. Yang carded a final round of seven under 50 to take the club-house lead before Alker shot 50 to tie him for the 1/4 hole lead at 45 under.

The pair then went back to the 20th run for the playoff. Alker Yang finished with a bogey on the par-five finishing hole. Alker rolled in a seven-foot putt for birdie to win a birdie putt. Alker was a big one event of the season and the 20th of his career.

Earlier, Alker had a chance to win the tournament on the final hole, but he missed a lengthy birdie putt with Yang looking on from the clubhouse.

Alker had two birdies and two bogeys on the first nine of the par-in. 2,000-yard course before getting foot with two birdies in a 100-foot span from the 20th to the 20th hole.

Yang had one birdie on the front nine before adding an more on the back, including a top 10 on the final hole to take the lead.

American, Jerry Kelly and Zackie had two shots to and 50 respectively on Sunday, finished in a tie for third at 45 under, two shots ahead of a group of four gol-

ters that included defending champion Richard Green.

Mike War of Bright's Green, 2nd, carded his second straight round of 60 to finish as the top Canadian at 45 under.

After watching Steve Flesch

chip in for eight from behind the green on the par-five 20th hole, War tried to replicate his physical partners' shot from almost the same spot.

"Almost," said War after the single chip came up just short.

Nonetheless, he tapped in the birdie putt to move into a 50 way in two 20th place, which is his best match at the tournament since finishing in a tie for ninth in 2020.

"It was a good thing to birdie 20 and 10 to finish off the week," said

War, who had five birdies and one bogey in his final round. "I played well enough to be really in contention this week, just the flat stick was a little cold."

"Overall, I played solid. It was my best finish of the year or far, so it was very encouraging. A lot of good things to take away from this week."

War will play in next week-end's The Ally Challenge at Warwick Hill Golf and Country Club as Grand State, Mich.

"Next week's a home game kind of for me," he said. "We family's real close by, only an hour away. I have a lot of friends and family there, too."

War will then take a week off before taking part in his favourite event of the season, the Paris Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach Golf Links from Sept. 10 to 20.

Andrew Canadian Stephen Amos had a good start to hit round on Sunday with four birdies in his first six holes on his way to shooting 50 to get him to eight under.

"I'm glad he played well today," said War of the Other Canadian Golf Hall of Famer. "He got off to a slow start. Let the tournament, but good for him today."

Calgary's Wes Martin shot 75 on because it cannot win back of the leaders at three over.

He wouldn't as a husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, friend, athlete, engineer, mathematician, business leader, just-dominant, professor, teammate and collaborator. He approached life with a smile, a quick laugh, and a kind, thoughtful manner.

Born in Regina and raised in Saskatoon, Jim grew up in a family rooted in achievement. As a young man, Jim was an avid athlete, enjoying hockey, football and swimming, earning an Olympic Award in long-distance swimming.

He also returned to his technical work as an adjunct and Honorary Professor in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Western University, teaching courses ranging from the highly technical "Polyethylene Plant Design" to a lecture for graduating students called "So You Want to Be Born!"

At Western, Jim also pursued his growing passion for Applied Mathematics and Science as recognized expert in Chem and Complexity Theory (the full). His work culminated in a collaboration with former Dean of Toxicology David Fisher, resulting in their own work, Making Usual Change.

Jim's life was untranslated and only for his accomplishments, but for his character. He was intelligent, athletic, visionary, loving, kind, funny, and very friendly loyal, generous, and opinionated. Most of all, he was a quiet, gentle supporter of those he loved — especially his children and grandchildren.

He was, simply, quite a guy — a man who lived a spectacular life. He will be missed deeply by all who know him.

DEATHS

W. ROBERT HUTCHISON

Our father died in 1920 a great father on Sept family made that commercial with "Thank you God for his mystery and magic in this world." With his passing on Sunday, August 16, 2025, sadly there is a little loss of that now.

William Robert "Bill" Hutchison was born on September 20, 1920, and almost made his worth birthday celebration. He lived by the idea that he wanted to be young, as did as possible. He was successful!

Both was the son of Francis "Frank" William Hutchison and Emily Agnes Hutchison (then Crabtree). Apart from his educational years, he spent his entire life, suffering, friendship, distress. In time, he was incredibly proud of his roots in this community, saved deeply and equally about absolutely everyone, never subject a soul, and had a lifetime gift of remembering people's names and stories, making them feel team and valued. He could not have been a bigger champion of the Modern region and people.

Both is situated by, and was a hero to, his children, Dave (Betty), Mrs. Scott (Ludwig and Blake (Stuart). He was "Kidd" (a name derived from his presence created when doing growth) in his ashtray, grandchildren and ship-gunmen, John (James, George, John (John), Carlin, John, John, Eub, Eyd, Parker, Avery, Candle and Trevor, and his many cherished great-grandchildren in Canada, Europe, and the United States.

He was predeceased by so many loved ones we can't possibly mention them here. After all, he was ready not!

Both attended Huntsville Public School, Bufley College, and the University of Toronto. He had run more than lovely Phyllis Land (Little), while still in 87 and they built a wonderful life together for 18 years, until he passed in 1922.

Shortly after university, both joined his family business, Mockida Wood Manufacturing Company, and whom it was sold his entrepreneurial network came to life, building multiple businesses rooted in the Mockida region Christmas. Two grandsons, 30 and four distributors, Lake Vernon Realty (a real estate development and holding company), and Hutchison Sand and Gravel, to name a few. He was also a caring custodian of loved and late (and) and an instrumentalist "long before people knew what that meant." While his businesses were local, some remarkably had international reach, including supplying his signature withheld used to Olympic games, from Sydney to Beijing and Paris, and distributing his specially-golf course card across North America.

Our dad loved people and life, and was unfailingly optimistic, respectful, loving, and loving. He was an indomitable presence and contribute, just this week people have described him as "one of a kind," "a kind of good and respect," a good, "a respect," genuine, generous and warm, "a chandelier and mentor," a formidable storyteller, and a few were supported "quite prevalent" and "fright inclined." Many highlights that "unmistakably little, flexible in the eye" had indicated "intuitive, humane, joy, playfulness, kindness and appreciation." His favourite word was "Kinshadow," and he involved for a lifetime his belief that "we must all leave our campsite much better than how we found them."

Both saw the conservative symbolism and loved, leading to some (including being sure that of the local Behavishness Lake Heights and navigating the National River), calling, paddle boasting, rowing, boating, and racks diving, hunting and fishing, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking, and joking

Both was so humble and understood that you may never know these things, but some of the other distressed achievements include: Billeston of Distinction, University Training Officer of the Royal Canadian Navy, active services, world teacher, Board Member of Distinction University, Alpine Canada, the Huntsville Hospital Foundation and square room, Member of the All Saints Anglican Church, Huntsville Town Council, community builder and philanthropist, a recipient of the National Heritage Stewardship Award, the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Medal, and the King Charles II Coronation Medal.

What mattered to him above all else, always, was his family. We all knew it and were listened to from him, from a few, and hardly place him, by up long. We take deep comfort knowing that he knew how much his family loved, wanted, respected, and appreciated him — and said: other. He was our, emotional and spiritual leader, hoaxed of daunting, integrity and hope, glue, and fourth Star Host in peace, dear Dad. As an avid card player, you left nothing to be table.

We want to thank his lovely companion, Judy Kilbourne, for bringing him such joy, love and care during the last chapter of his life. We also want to thank both his incredibly loyal business support team, and in accord months, his outstanding medical support team. Our family is eternally grateful.

There will be a private family funeral. There are two opportunities for a violation with his family at the All Saints Anglican Church, 20 High Street, Huntsville, Ontario, on Thursday, September 28th, between 2:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., and Friday, September 28th, between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

OBITUARIES

BILL RASMUSSEN

BUSINESSMAN, 93

ESPN CO-FOUNDER REVOLUTIONIZED SPORTS MEDIA WITH HISSON

The idea of a network carrying sports around the clock changed Americans' TV-watching habits forever

LAND OF LABEL, FLA.

Bill Rasmussen, who co-founded TV sports giant, says ESPN, also teaching the idea for the world's first all-sports cable network with his son, died Tuesday, 16 May 24.

ESPN business Mike Foltys said Mr. Rasmussen died at his Florida home from the effects of Parkinson's disease. Mr. Rasmussen was resurrected to song that he had been diagnosed with the degenerative disease in 1994.

"Bill was a remarkable man a visionary and an innovator who conceived the idea of a network entirely devoted to sports," ESPN chairman former Prizes said in a statement. "Quite simply, none of us would be here today if it wasn't for Bill's position and all the hard work and every personal signal to put into building ESPN in the late 1970s - key aspects of our company culture that still carry on to this day."

Mr. Rasmussen and his son Scott came up with the idea of a network carrying sports around the clock, and it would revolutionize American TV-watching habits. But the Rasmussen didn't stick around long. They were forced out after only a year by ESPN majority owner Getty Oil.

Bill Rasmussen's original idea was a cable channel covering only Connecticut sports. Many cable operators in the state were skeptical, but someone suggested buying satellite time to reach a national audience.

ESPN was launched on Sept. 7, 1979. George Grande welcomed viewers to the first SpursCaster broadcast before the network's first live event, a slow-pitch with ball game between the Kentucky Southern and the Milwaukee bribes.

"So these days, we didn't know if we'd last four weeks, four years, let alone, go some, but we knew it was special," Mr. Grande said. "Bottom line was Bill Rasmussen was the true purveyor of the original American dream, and he gave us all something very special that we still have today."

The Rasmussen secured financial backing from Getty Oil and a night club with the NCAA, and built a studio in Bristol, Connecticut, and under construction when ESPN went on the air.

The Getty investment and the deal with the NCAA occurred on the same day.

"When someone tells you you can't do something, you want to prove them wrong," Bill Rasmussen said. "Many, many people told us there wasn't enough sports to do a 24-hour channel. I didn't argue with anybody. I just thought they were wrong and I was right."

When the Rasmussen were forced out of ESPN in 1980, Getty owned 16 per cent of the network. In 1980, which had acquired Getty, sold its interest in ESPN in ABC in 1983.

In 1980, only months after its debut, ESPN started televising the NFL draft. The network debuted the ESPN awards in 1993 and launched the X Games competition in 1993.

The college football landscape underwent massive changes. Games were spread throughout the week to tailor to TV audiences and the number of postseason

levels skyrocketed. ESPN has held exclusive broadcast rights to the college football/filmed/denied the game after the 1980 season. In 1994, the network agreed to a new six-year, $19.4 billion contract for the playoff through the 1980s.

While CNN was finding its footing on the news side, ESPN jostled with major networks to bring NFL and college sports to cable audiences that had been over the airwaves for decades. ESPN also pioneered banking and broadcasting, women's sports, particularly college basketball, volleyball and the softball-based tennis.

Bill Rasmussen and ESPN were estranged until 1993, when company executives invited him to the 20th anniversary celebration there there. So has been embraced and recognized for his vision of creating an all-sports network. He turned the country in 1993 for the 20th anniversary and gave speeches at Walt Disney Co. and ESPN

events.

"Bill was our George Washington and a good friend," said veteran anchor Chris Berman, who joined ESPN three weeks after the network launched its 1993. "He was such a grateful person and every sports fan can be granted for Bill. He wasn't a giant full-bill guy, but glad to see always overflowing with optimism. He granted everyone with a smile and we can all smile knowing Bill's legacy."

Bonnie Chicago, Mr. Rasmussen earned degrees from DePauw University in Indiana and Rutgers University and served in the Air Force. He started an advertising service business, then worked in radio and television as a broadcaster during the 1980s.

He was hired in 1979 as public relations director for the World Hockey Association's New England Athletics in Sheffield, Connecticut. The team's entire front office was fired in 1979, and Mr. Rasmussen soon turned his atten-

tion to brainstorming with his son on the creation of sports on cable TV with the help of a 14,000 credit card advance.

"There was a whole lot of chutz-pak and a whole lot of vision, and they're missed out on their credit cards. It's the American dream," said Bill Foltys, one of the network's original anchors.

Mr. Rasmussen was inducted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 1993.

Mr. Rasmussen was predicated by his wife of 20 years, Lois, in 1978 and leaves two sons, Scott Rasmussen and his wife, Laura, and Glenn Rasmussen, daughter Lynn Van Holleboe and her husband, Louis, were grandchildren, one great grandson and one great granddaughter. In addition to his wife, Bill was predicated by his brothers Robert and Donald Rasmussen, sister Vivian and a grandson.

O.J. BRIGANCE

ATHLETE, 56

Football player won the Super Bowl before becoming ALS advocate

ORWNS WALL, MD

O.J. Brigance, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, before waging an unyielding battle against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, has died, 16 May 24.

The Ravens announced Mr. Brigance's death on Sept. 7.

"We are devastated by the awful news that we have lost O.J. Brigance," Ravens owner Steve Bissett said in a statement. "O.J. was a beloved legend, mentor and man to everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. He was a vibrant person who became one of the first Ravens heroes with his passionate play, including the first tackle in the seven Super Bowl."

Mr. Brigance was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lois Galleg's disease, in 1977. Not long after that, he and his wife, Claudia, formed the Brigance Brigade Foundation, an organization whose mission is to "sign, encourage and empower" those affiliated with ALS.

Despite using a wheelchair and a communication device that translated his message, Mr. Brigance served as senior advisor for player engagement with the Ravens, a job he started in 1979. In addition to assisting players in each phase of their career, Mr. Brigance proved a source of motivation without the suggestion.

"While winning CFL and NFL championships are great personal remembrances, I wouldn't say any of these events define me," he said. "Rather, they are part of an accumulation of the events which one pulled me to do what God wanted me to accomplish. If you were to remove any of those events, I wouldn't be the same person or have the position of influence. With that being said, I consider the Brigance Brigade to be the most significant achievement of my life because of my ability to touch the lives of others."

"Many people think football is all about strength and physical ability," Mr. Brigance said in a cross interview with the Associated Press. "While these are integral parts of one's success, the fortitude, discipline and the desire necessary to play the sport are characteristics that are readily transferable to everyday life."

Mr. Brigance didn't set out to be an example of how to live under difficult circumstances, but he had no intention of letting ALS perform down. He used Claudia as a showcard to help and encourage others with the disease.

"I have found that when, advisory strikes, there is a decision to be made. We

drove to respond and continue to live, and also help others bring with ALS to respond also," he said. "We have found that we have been a great encouragement not only to those within the ALS community, but to people in all walks of life."

Overleaf James Brigance was born Sept. 29, 1976 and played in college at Rice in his hometown of Houston. He began his professional career in 1980 as a linebacker for the British Columbia Lions. He played three seasons with BC, making 10 walks in 1993, before joining the Baltimore Stallions. In his second season in Baltimore, the team won the 1993 Grey Cup.

In 1993, Mr. Brigance was named by the Martin Dolphins as a first agent. He was twice voted a team captain during his four seasons there and was the All Black Courage Award recipient in 1993. He was honoured with the NFL Players Association's Corning Hero Award that same season.

Mr. Brigance's long season with Baltimore was 1993. He had a team high in tackles on special teams during Baltimore's playoff run, which ended with a 1/4/1980 win over the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

Mr. Brigance played for the St. Louis Rams in 1993 and 1993, and his final game was with New England in 1993.

"I am devastated and a 14-hole for words. O.J. was one of your genuine, sincere people. I have ever known," Ravens executive vice-president Ozzie Newsome said. "From the moment he arrived in Baltimore, you could feel his energy. His amazing smile, welcoming nature and ambitious personality made everyone around him feel like family."

And his country would serve him well long after his playing days ended.

▌ 精选核心专题深度思想论证 (In-Depth Dialectical Monograph)

专题一：主权决断的“红线”与贸易霸权的权力技术

本期报道中，美加贸易谈判的破裂揭示了主权权力在面对绝对经济霸权时的生存困境。从制度现实来看，加拿大政府在第12轮谈判中面对的是一种典型的“权力不对称博弈”：美国商务部长卢特尼克主张加拿大经济依赖美国，因此不应采取强硬态度 [F10_20 🔍]。在这种逻辑下，贸易谈判不再是基于对等契约的协商，而演变为一种权力意志的强加。

然而，渥太华在最后时刻拒绝关于本土内容需求的条款 [F7_13, F7_14]，这一行为在法理上是对“主权不可侵犯”的最后坚守。参议员安德鲁·卡多佐指出，某些红线是不能逾越的，因为整个协议关乎“我们作为一个国家”的定义 [F8_15, F8_16]。这里出现了一个深刻的悖论：在经济上，加拿大处于极度依赖的被动地位；但在制度认同上，政府必须通过一次“决断”来定义国家边界。

这种冲突导致了贸易关系的“异化”：贸易不再是资源的最优配置，而变成了主权权力的直接碰撞。当马克·卡尼将贸易冷战描述为“热战”并称国家“受到攻击”时 [F5_10, F1_2]，他实际上是在话语层面将经济纠纷升级为生存危机。这种修辞策略旨在合法化国内的报复性关税 [F5_9 🔍] 以及大规模的财政救济计划 [F12_23 🔍]，通过构建外部敌人的意象，在危机中强化联邦政府对经济的调控能力。

专题二：风险社会化与国家救济的制度性绑定

面对美国可能对价值 500 亿美元出口产品征收 12% 关税的威胁 [F16_31 🔍]，加拿大政府采取的应对措施揭示了当代国家在风险管理中的一种新逻辑：将私人企业的贸易风险“社会化”。

总理承诺提供“只要需要就一直持续”的救济计划 [F12_24 🔍]，以及安大略省政府对钢铁和汽车行业的专项支持 [F13_26 🔍]，在客观上形成了一种新型的制度性绑定。在这种机制下，企业不再独立承担市场波动或地缘政治风险，而是通过国家财政的背书获得生存保障。这种救济虽然在短期内缓解了财务动荡 [F12_23 🔍]，但在长期制度层面，它可能导致企业对行政权力的过度依赖，削弱其在国际市场上的竞争力。

进一步分析可见，这种救济计划的实施伴随着严重的财政压力。安大略省和不列颠哥伦比亚省已经分别面临数十亿加元的财政缺口 [F13_25 🔍]。这意味着国家在试图通过财政手段对冲外部权力冲击时，实际上是在用公共财政的稳定性来换取特定产业的生存。这种制度安排将地缘政治的冲突直接转化为国内的财政危机，使得国家在面对外部压力时，其内部治理的冗余度被进一步压缩。

▌ 本日全报生活世界痛感与情感政治深思雷达 (Lifeworld & Affective Significance Radar)

在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有报道后，以下 2 个具体维度在个体生命体验、制度压力与生活世界冲突层面最值得学者进一步深思：

1. 【主权博弈下的经济生存焦虑】（生活领域：贸易与产业）

   • 事件简述：美加贸易谈判破裂，美国拟对价值 500 亿加元的出口产品征收 12% 的新关税 [F16_32 🔍]。尽管渥太华以维护文化和主权为由拒绝美国要求 [F7_14 🔍]，但安大略省和不列颠哥伦比亚省已分别面临 128 亿和 133 亿加元的财政缺口 [F13_25 🔍]，且汽车、钢铁等行业面临剧烈动荡 [F13_26 🔍]。
   • 情感政治切入点：分析“国家主权”这一宏大叙事如何转化为具体产业的“生存痛感”，探讨在面对外部压力时，民众对“强硬姿态”的心理认同 [F16_31 🔍] 与实际经济损失之间的张力。

2. 【技术理性对人类能动性的潜在替代】（生活领域：前沿技术）

   • 事件简述：人形机器人在北京赛事中打破了博尔特 100 米短跑世界纪录 [F3_5 🔍]。与此同时，贸易战的升级使得北美竞争力受到沉重打击 [F11_21 🔍]，且国防采购可能被纳入惩罚性措施 [F14_28 🔍]。
   • 情感政治切入点：探讨一种悖论——当人类在技术理性（机器人性能）上达到巅峰时，人类社会的政治理性（贸易谈判）却陷入崩溃。分析技术上的“超人”成就如何掩盖或反衬出地缘政治中人类决策的脆弱性。

▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)

专题一：主权尊严的肉身化：贸易战中“制度理性”与“生存痛感”的辩证摩擦

在美加贸易谈判破裂的叙事中，系统理性（Logos）表现为一种基于地缘政治与文化主权的博弈模型。渥太华政府拒绝美国关于本土内容需求的第 12 轮谈判要求，将其视为对“文化和主权的威胁” [F7_14 🔍]。在这种理性模型中，主权被定义为不可逾越的“红线” [F8_15 🔍]，而承受短期经济阵痛被视为维护长期制度独立性的必要代价。

然而，这种宏观理性在落实到生活世界（Lifeworld）时，转化为具体的、带有痛感的生存状态。这种摩擦体现在两个层面：首先是财政层面的“肉身化”，安大略省和 B.C. 省巨大的财政缺口 [F13_25 🔍] 将抽象的贸易战转化为公共服务的潜在削减；其次是产业层面的焦虑，汽车和钢铁行业被推向“痛苦”的边缘 [F13_26 🔍]。

这里存在一个深刻的辩证矛盾：一方面，民调显示加拿大人希望马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）进行抗争 [F5_10 🔍]，这表明一种基于民族自豪感的情感认同（Pathos）在支撑着制度理性；另一方面，这种认同必须通过承受 12% 的关税冲击 [F16_32 🔍] 来兑现。当“主权”从法律文本变为“生活成本高企” [F5_9 🔍] 的现实时，情感认同的韧性将受到严峻考验。如果政府的救济计划 [F12_23 🔍] 无法有效对冲微观个体的痛感，那么由主权驱动的集体认同可能会迅速转化为对制度冷漠的愤怒。

专题二：量化理性的异化与地缘政治的非理性：从技术巅峰到贸易冷战的现象学诊断

本期报纸呈现了一种极具讽刺意味的对比：一方面是技术理性的极致胜利——人形机器人打破人类短跑世界纪录 [F3_5 🔍]；另一方面是政治理性的全面失效——贸易冷战突然升级为“热战” [F5_10 🔍]。

从现象学角度看，人形机器人的成就代表了人类将“速度”和“效率”量化到极致的能力。这种量化理性试图通过算法和工程消除不确定性。然而，在美加贸易谈判中，我们看到的却是完全相反的逻辑：卢特尼克（Lutnick）主张加拿大经济依赖美国，因此不应采取强硬态度 [F10_20 🔍]，这是一种基于权力不对称的粗暴理性，而非基于共赢的协作理性。

这种对比揭示了当代社会的一种深层异化：我们在微观的技术领域实现了对自然的精准掌控，但在宏观的社会协作领域却失去了基本的共识能力。当贸易谈判被描述为一种“博弈” [F10_20 🔍]，且缺乏“护栏” [F8_16 🔍] 时，政治行为便从理性的利益交换退化为情感性的权力施压。

这种异化导致了一种危险的认知错位：社会习惯于用技术进步的快感（如机器人纪录）来掩盖制度崩塌的危机感。然而，当国防采购被纳入惩罚性措施 [F14_28 🔍]，且北美竞争力受到“沉重打击” [F11_21 🔍] 时，技术上的领先无法弥补地缘政治上的孤立。这证明了：缺乏伦理支撑的量化理性（技术）无法替代基于信任的政治理性（外交），而后者一旦崩溃，技术成就将沦为无根的景观。
