历经延迟,戈迪·豪大桥正式开通

首辆汽车将于周一通过这座新跨境通道

KATE HELMORE

历经二十多年的规划与建设,造价 16 亿的戈迪·豪国际大桥(Gordie Howe International Bridge)于周五举行了落成典礼。一名加拿大省长、一名大使和一名联邦部长出席了活动,但没有美国代表参加。

这场具有鲜明加拿大色彩的仪式,标志着这座连接温莎(Windsor)与底特律(Detroit)、筹备 25 年的大桥正式启用。

首辆汽车将于周一通过该桥——这是美国与加拿大之间最繁忙边境点的一处新通道。其竞争对手——大使桥(Ambassador Bridge)在一百多年来一直是服务于这两个紧密交织社区的唯一桥梁。

省长道格·福特(Doug Ford)与联邦基础设施部长格雷戈尔·罗伯逊(Gregor Robertson)、加拿大驻美国大使马克·怀斯曼(Mark Wiseman)以及温莎市长德鲁·迪伦斯(Drew Dillens)一同剪彩。此时,新桥 200 米高的塔架耸立在天空之中。

一个三人乐队演奏着《Last The Two of Us》和《A Lot of Sunshine》,与此同时,孩子们在玩球类冰球。

大桥的形状像一支曲棍球杆,以向其命名者致敬:这位出生于加拿大的冰球传奇人物曾带领底特律红翼队获得过两次斯坦利杯冠军。

戈迪·豪的儿子马克(Mark)告诉《全球邮报》(The Globe and Mail),大桥的命名是一项“巨大的荣誉”。他说,这恰如其分地代表了他父亲所拥有的人格魅力,并补充说他的父亲热爱人们,并致力于在人们之间建立联系。

但这种情谊在周五早晨显得匮乏。美国代表在庆祝活动中缺席。民主党州参议员埃丽卡·高斯(Erika Goss)告诉《全球邮报》,在美国总统特朗普(Trump)威胁对加拿大征收 40% 的关税后不久,她的邀请被撤销了。

仪式也没有在桥梁中心举行,正如迪伦斯先生告诉《全球邮报》他长期以来所设想的那样。仪式是在加拿大一侧,通往大桥的匝道上举行的。迪伦斯先生表示,这象征着美国与加拿大之间紧张的关系。

周五,在安大略省温莎市举行的戈迪·豪国际大桥正式开通仪式上,安大略省省长道格·福特(Doug Ford)与联邦基础设施部长格雷戈尔·罗伯逊(Gregor Robertson)、加拿大驻美国大使马克·怀斯曼(Mark Wiseman)以及温莎市长德鲁·迪伦斯(Drew Dillens)共同剪彩。GORDIE DODRIS/路透社

“在正常时期,这种规模的活动极其罕见,”迪伦斯先生说,并补充道,考虑到特朗普先生周一发出的关税威胁,目前的局面并不令人意外。

“在此时此刻,我们怎么可能诚心地与来自美国的人士一起庆祝?”

自二月份特朗普先生在 Truth Social 上主张美国应拥有该桥一半所有权以来,大桥的开通一直笼罩在不确定性和争议之中。十四年前,在桥梁协议首次签署时,渥太华同意支付全部款项,并将通过收取全部过桥费来抵消这些成本。

但原定于六月的开通计划被白宫(The White House)推迟。《全球邮报》的报道称,大使桥的所有者曾投入 $5-million 用于竞选资助,并聘请了一家与特朗普政府有联系的游说公司。

随后,直到本月初宣布一项广泛协议,渥太华才同意在最初 45 年内与美国平分“既定桥梁及跨境相关收入”。收入将在扣除运营成本后在两国之间分配。

协议规定,这笔款项将由加拿大支付给一个由美国“设立并单独控制”的经济发展基金。

其中不包含一项允许加拿大在与美国分成收入之前,先覆盖其桥梁债务服务成本的条款。这与总理 马克·卡尼 周日在接受 CTV 采访时关于债务的说法相矛盾,当时他淡化了将汇往美国的资金数额。

在仪式进行期间,特朗普 在社交媒体上表示,取消联合活动“没关系,考虑到他们正在向美国支付巨额关税”,并指出美国为这座桥梁谈判到了更好的协议。

“我们更改了协议条款,使得美利坚合众国现在获得 50% 的利润,”他在 Truth Social 上发布道。

对于马克·豪(Mark Howe)——随家人 30 人一起前往温莎参加桥梁开通仪式的成员之一——来说,加拿大和美国之间的争论和“口角”是“不必要的”。豪先生认为两国都是自己的家。他出生在底特律,本身也是一名曲棍球名人堂成员(2015 年入选),豪先生记得在 49 号公路上穿梭于安大略省和密歇根州参加锦标赛的加拿大之夜。

“当我来到加拿大,这里并不是一个外国。”

对于货运社区而言,无论地缘政治如何,这次仪式具有重要意义。

Specify Transport Group, Inc.(一家覆盖全加拿大的货运公司)的销售副总裁 Michael Hovschi 表示,在效率方面,这座桥将“改变游戏规则”。Specify 的卡车每年将跨越这座桥 85 到 100 次。新桥将使平均过境时间缩短 15 分钟。

“每个人都想将此政治化,”他说。“但作为一个行业,我们应该感激这样一座巨大的基础设施得以建成。”

Bridging North America 的首席执行官 Steve Dewit 表示,戈迪·豪国际大桥是加拿大技术最先进的过境口岸。

它是北美最长的斜拉桥,由 10.6 billion 和 4.4 billion 根钢杆悬挂在底特律河之上。它是 10 million 小时工作由 15,000 多人开展的结晶。该口岸拥有 14 条检查车道、40 条收费车道、用于检查卡车内部的先进筛查技术,并直接由 49 号公路和密歇根州的 19 号州际公路汇入。

加拿大卡车联盟(Canadian Trucking Alliance)主席 Stephen Laskowski 表示,直接的公路接入和许多新的检查车道将——取决于货运公司的规模——每年节省 $10,000 到 $100,000 的成本。

温莎市长 德鲁·迪伦斯 表示,温莎和底特律社区是其邻里中仅有的两个卡车流量区。这座多用途桥梁将意味着河两岸的加拿大人和美国人至少在 20 年来第一次可以步行或骑自行车跨越边境。他说,这应该值得庆祝。

“对于那些实际为该项目出资、实际推动桥梁建设并将其完工的加拿大人来说,这是一个美好的庆祝活动,”迪伦斯先生说。

豪先生表示,这些利益的遗产将辐射出加拿大与美国之间的争斗。

“这有点像两个人在名单上产生了分歧,”他说。“有时会爆发争吵,你得挥几拳、使几个肘击,但迟早他们会建立起相互尊重。”

野火导致不列颠哥伦比亚省开展新一轮疏散

历史悠久的克林顿镇(Clinton)与波士顿酒吧(Boston Bar)一同被列入居民被要求撤离的社区名单

OM SHANNING SOFVIAN BERTIZZI

不列颠哥伦比亚省的克林顿镇建立在一次淘金热期间,其街道中承载着高达 100,000 年的历史。但随着南面和西面的野火逼近,且居民被要求撤离,该镇的未来变得不确定。

Historic Cafe 曾是一名年轻教师,大约 72 年前她从该省沿海地区搬到克林顿。现在,这位该镇博物馆的前任馆长表示,在从她所居住的夏季护理之家撤离时,她必须挑选要带走的孩子的照片。

“我想离开那些我知道无法随身携带的东西,这让我感到很困难,”她说道。

这座拥有 600 多名居民的城镇位于坎卢普斯(Kamloops)西北约 100 公里处,自周五起已被列入疏散范围。根据汤普森-尼古拉区域区(Thompson-Siccola Regional District)的说法,由于该镇西部的皮尔湖(Pear Lake)火灾状态导致了这一命令。

三场火灾——皮尔湖、51号溪(Fifty-ONE Creek)和法兰西酒吧溪(French Bar Creek)——正在克林顿附近地区约 24,000 顷的土地上燃烧。

在南部内陆的其他地区,由于一个大型野火综合体的影响,金伯利(Kimberley)自 7 月 19 日起一直处于疏散状态;而波士顿酒吧则宣布了疏散令——那里的火势仍在继续扩大。

高温天气与雷击是导致火灾的主要原因。今年的野火季预计将与记录中最糟糕的几次一样严重,预测将其与 2007, 2008 和 2009 年这 100 个培训年份并列。

随着克林顿镇的人员撤离,Mt. Cade 并不担心有人会被遗忘。

“作为一个小镇,每个人都非常熟悉,几乎每个人都认识另一个人,”

周四,皮尔湖野火升起浓烟,该火灾迫使不列颠哥伦比亚省附近的克林顿镇撤离。该地区约有 25,000 个碎片在燃烧。CATHOLPH D. HARTLEY

她说道。“没有人会被抛弃。”

经营着克林顿镇唯一一家加油站和杂货店的 New Hinds 表示,镇上每天都被烟雾笼罩。Mt. Hinds 表示,他在撤离前会尽可能长时间地营业,以便为应急服务人员和消防员提供燃料。

五年前来到克林顿的 Mt. Hinds 说道,由于 2007 年曾有一场毁灭该地区的野火,镇民们知道如何应对。该镇在当年的 7 月被撤离,但没有建筑物受损。

汤普森-尼古拉区域区的通讯经理 Colton Towles 在一份声明中表示,今年该地区约有 30 处房产受到 51 号溪野火的影响。

此外,Mt. Towles 表示,在大酒吧湖(big bar lake)至少有十几栋房屋被毁,那里的火灾自上周五起一直燃烧,涉及约 25,000 吨水。

野火产生的烟雾(主要来自克林顿南 150 公里处弗雷泽峡谷的火灾)继续笼罩不列颠哥伦比亚省南部内陆地区的很大一部分,预计将持续约 24 或 30 小时。

虽然内陆部分地区(如奥肯那根(Okanagan)和尼科西亚谷(Nicosia Valley)地区)的空气质量有所改善,但其他地方的情况则有所恶化。弗雷泽峡谷和南汤普森地区在周五下午处于空气质量警告状态。

加拿大环境部表示,在野火期间,烟雾状况在每小时之间可能会有显著差异。

根据白 Eglab 的数据,该网络在周四下午拥有全球最差的空气质量,但随后加拿大环境部指出空气质量已经改善。

居民表示,周五空气质量有所提高,使得旅游活动和商业运营能够恢复正常。

凯洛那国际机场的传播顾问瑞安·沃尔特斯(Ryan Walters)表示,周四的山火烟雾和强风导致了航班延误和取消,但周五的情况并未导致运行中断。

周四的烟雾还导致在凯洛那举行的不列颠哥伦比亚省(B.C.)夏季运动会(该省最大的两年一度的多项赛事)将当天剩余的计划活动进行了调整。

本周有数千名年轻运动员前往凯洛那参加运动会,该赛事上次在该市举办是为了工作。

B.C.运动会协会主席克劳斯·诺布尔(Klaus Noble)表示,随着空气质量的改善,各项活动在周五恢复正常,尽管周四的日程有所变动,但“赛事”能量依然很高。

汤普森-奥肯纳根旅游协会(Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association)首席执行官艾伦·沃克·马修斯(Ellen Walker Matthews)表示,该地区的游客已经习惯了烟雾,并围绕这一情况调整计划。

她指出,周四尽管浓烟和阴霾的天气干扰了游客在奥肯纳根湖(Okanagan Lake)边度过海滩日之计划,但酒庄依然是游客的热门选择。

“我们当然非常担心那些遭遇火灾的朋友和邻居。那是更令人担忧的事情——希望他们是安全的,以及我们的消防员是安全的,”沃克·马修斯女士说道。

“所以,一点烟雾不会伤害我们的。”

法国和西班牙居民因剧烈森林火灾规模扩大而逃离家园

CAROLINE BLUMBERG SAMUEL PETERSON JOSEPH WILSON

法国,阿尔卡肖(ARCAUCION)

周五,巨大的森林火灾迫使法国西南部和西班牙中部的约 200,000 人撤离,随着火焰失控肆虐,居民们纷纷逃离马德里和波尔多附近的城镇。

这两个欧洲国家的消防员和当局都被火势的猛烈程度打了个措手不及,高温和气候变化的长期影响加剧了火势。西班牙的消防员承认,火势如此之快且如此剧烈,以至于无法在原地应对;在法国大西洋沿岸的旅游区,当火焰席卷而来时,人们甚至乘船逃离。

法国内政部表示,在法国的吉伦特(Genesee)省和朗得(Landes)省,约 150,000 人逃离了家园。根据西班牙内政部的数据,西班牙中部有 60,000 人被迫离开家园。

当局表示,部分法国消防员受伤,但

周五,在法国西南部的拉卡纳斯(Lacanas)海滩上,人们在山火产生的烟雾中聚集。内政部长洛朗·莫里茨(Laurent Moritz)表示,火势目前正向波尔多方向蔓延。MARIBELIER LAMYURP VIA GETT IMAGES

尽管为了躲避火灾出现了混乱场面,且警方正引导人们离开,因为巨大的烟雾可能从邻近的林地飘来,但两国均未报告死亡病例。

法国内政部长洛朗·莫里茨表示,这场席卷法国西南部大片土地的特大山火目前正向波尔多市方向推进。

在接受法国电视节目采访时,莫里茨先生表示,早些时候迫使卡普费雷(Cap Ferret)半岛撤离的山火已横跨 600 平方公里,吉伦特地区有 100,000 人逃离家园。

“我们直到下午中旬才得知,随着风向转变,它已演变成一场规模巨大、具有自我维持能力的火灾,极其难以控制,”莫里茨先生说。“它现在正向东移动,向波尔多大都市区推进。我们将重新调整我们的应对方案,以便从地面进行打击,防止其向波尔多推进。”

与此同时,法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙已要求总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒孔(Sébastien Lec'hon)协调政府的危机应对措施,并指示武装力量动员起来,以便为民用应急服务提供最大可能的增强支援。

“我们在吉伦特这里经历了并与之对抗了三天的这场火灾已达到了前所未有的规模,”新阿基坦大区区长索菲·布辛(Sophie Bousin)表示。“为了应对这一情况,我们将接收显著的国家级应急增援。”

吉伦特省的地方当局表示,这场大火始于周三,地点位于法国大西洋沿岸距离波尔多 40 km 的卡普费雷半岛附近。据称 12 栋房屋被毁,40 人受灾,并补充说有 45 名消防员受伤。约 1,000 名逃离半岛的人员经海路抵达阿尔卡肖市,其中一些人乘坐小型水箱船,另一些人乘坐大型船只。

“这相当令人震撼,甚至令人恐惧,”居住在阿尔蒂斯(Artis)镇的居民洛朗·莫里茨(Laurent Moritz)说道,“如此规模的撤离从未发生过。我们真正希望的是消防员能尽快将其控制住。”

另一场山火在朗得省爆发,导致 25,000 人撤离。当局认为法国这两场火灾的原因均为意外。

周四,已有超过 20,000 人在法国度假季期间被撤离,但随着法国和西班牙向欧盟其他成员国寻求帮助,这一数字在周五激增。

马克龙先生表示,法国将接收 157 份增援,其中包括两架克罗地亚-加拿大灭火飞机、两架葡萄牙空中旅行者飞机,以及来自捷克和斯洛伐克的两架黑鹰重型直升机。西班牙内政部长费尔南多·格兰德-马蒂亚卡(Fernando Grande-Martíaca)表示,意大利和希腊 each 派遣两架加拿大水投飞机,同时其他一千一千人正在协助灭火工作。

在西班牙,由于马德里及附近阿尔蒂斯(Artis)省的火势促使城镇中约 20,000 人撤离,政府首次宣布进入山火国家紧急状态。

火势正被一股热浪推向高潮,预计西班牙部分地区的温度将攀升。

马德里西部的两场大火合并成一场单一的巨火,到周五下午已迅速吞噬了一片区域。地区主席伊莎贝尔·迪亚斯-阿约索(Isabel Diaz-Ayoso)称其为马德里历史上最严重的一次。

马德里地区中央政府代表弗朗西斯科·马丁(Francisco Martín)表示,另有 20,000 人已被安置在避难所或家中。马丁先生表示,可能会有更多撤离行动,目前的优先任务是保护圣洛伦佐镇,那里是菲利普二世将军的安全乡村皇家宫殿和修道院所在地。

随着加拿大邮政发送更多传单,地方报纸陷入困境

出版商表示,这家国有企业明知此举在分流广告,威胁到了一个关键的收入来源

CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS (NATIONAL)

社区报纸的所有者声称,加拿大邮政通过与该国最大的农业公司建立的新合作伙伴关系,正在助推其中一些报纸走向国际化(注:此处原文可能为误写,意指经营困难)。

上个月,这家国有企业启动了一项针对 Kaddie 的反旋转许可(anti-rotary license),使其能够与加拿大企业合作,加拿大邮政随之开始在全国范围内分发需求单页。

社区报纸一直尝试通过在传单捆绑包中投放广告来为出版物筹资,这些报纸免费分发给城市和农村社区的数百万读者。

Nova Media Canada 的首席执行官 Paul Deegan 代表了顶级新闻文件中的社区报纸场景。他表示,在受到一家政府背景企业的排挤后,这些机构现在成为了被放弃的客户。他说,收入损失威胁到新闻机构的关闭,并使居民对所在社区的关注度降低。

“基本上发生的情况是,那些通过将此类数量的传单作为商业插页来获利的出版商,这些订单几乎全部消失了。这简直是 100 掉下了悬崖,”Deegan 先生说道。

他告诉她,这具有反竞争性质,因为他们试图过度挤压。

在最新的例子中,Deegan 先生指出了 “Mississippi Community Review”,这是一份拥有东部和西部编辑的大型政治报纸,原定于周五关闭。根据该行业协会的说法,这次关闭将导致 2012/2013 户家庭停止接收报纸,并导致五名以上的兼职配送员在 Kaddie 到来不到两个月后失业。

社区报纸进一步感觉到压力。拥有九家覆盖阿尔伯塔省社区出版物(从 Kailif 和 Kaddie 到独立加拿大)的 Great West Media 发现,大型零售商已经放弃了其传单服务,转而使用 Kaddie —— 后者提供一个更轻、更薄的包装,比传统的传单捆绑包更易于邮递员搬运。

“这让我们的传单量减少了大约 80%,因为现在所有这些量都转移到了加拿大邮政,”Great West Media 的共同所有者兼生产副总裁 Evan Jamison 表示,这是一家可以追溯到该国的家族企业。

“对于其中一些报纸来说,这可能是生死存亡的问题,”他说。

加拿大邮政指出,许多社区新闻组依赖于将报纸送到市区,而不是依靠他们自己的配送系统。由于一些新闻公司在 Kaddie 到来之前就关闭了报纸或取消了私人配送,这家国有企业随后介入以填补传单分发的空白。

“我们理解社区报纸所面临的挑战,并继续与他们合作。整个传单行业在一些主要参与者关闭后正在发生巨大的转变,这影响了所有依赖该业务的人——从报纸到印刷商再到分销商,”加拿大邮政发言人 Lisa Liu 在一封电子邮件中表示。

总部位于蒙特利尔的 Transcontinental 表示,Kaddie 的全国官方服务为零售商提供了数字化广告之外的另一种选择,这意味着更多加拿大set家庭将能够获得从杂货到家居装饰等产品的优惠。

“近年来,随着 Glacier Media、Merroland 以及最近的 Postmedia 等新闻机构相继退出该业务,传单分发经历了重大变革,”Transcontinental 的首席运营官 Patrick Freelye 说道。

“在这些变化之后,我们的客户对 Kaddie 及其作为一种高效的、具有全国覆盖范围和本地供应能力的全国性大众媒体平台表示欢迎。”

他补充说,公司尊重当地报纸的作用,并指出 Transcontinental 几十年来一直在出版和分发地方报纸方面发挥作用。Nova Media Canada(其成员包括《加拿大新闻社》的所有者)已呼吁联邦政府确保加拿大邮政为社区报纸提供与 Transcontinental 所获得的价格相当的定价。

行业领导者表示,下议院遗产委员会应就这家皇冠公司如何帮助维持印刷新闻举行听证会。

这些挑战并非新现象。然而,对于社区报纸而言,近年来的损失在加剧,部分关闭发生在 Kaddie 推行之前。

Postmedia 在 5 月 12 日(即 Kaddie 宣布在全国范围内扩张的两天前)表示,将在 8 月底前停止所有传单分发,导致 250 名员工失业,其中 50 个为全职岗位。

2012 年,在 Merroland Media Group 宣布将转向数字化墙模式并结束其传单业务,并导致两项以上福利终止后,Postmedia 的居民得知他们将失去 70 份以上的地方印刷报纸。

同年在不列颠哥伦比亚省,Glacier Media 关闭了 Crown Mainland 三家报纸的印刷业务,以及该省东北部的另外两家。

极端天气并未减轻,但一场持续多年的干旱曾导致广大草原地区的数千名农民在作物生产中苦苦挣扎,而几场美丽的春雨提供了作物生长所需的足够水分。温暖的夏季天气加速了作物的发育。

“西部草原的绝大多数地区处于领先状态,而且看起来相当不错,”Earthshark 的全球作物分析师 Nick Obreman 在谈到整个草原地区时表示。

该地区的面积与西欧的农地相当,此前一直深受干旱之苦,这导致产量下降并影响了农民的财务状况。

250 million 英亩的草原农地生产了全球最大的油菜籽作物,通常是春小麦的最大来源,以及多种阴凉作物(包括小扁豆和贻贝)的主要供应地。

Obreman 先生每年利用一系列农艺指标来评估农业形势,从农场和家具状况到田间的规制冠层状态,再到微区域的天气,其中大部分使用了卫星数据。

今年,七位农民得到了有益的降雨。这覆盖了近年来袭击大面积地区的极端干燥期,不仅为本月的作物提供了足够的水分,还建立了可以支撑许多人直到收获的储备。再来几场阵雨,大多数农民就能产出极佳的作物。

然而,局部天气冲击袭击了特定区域,包括严重的冰雹、龙卷风以及由强降雨引起的洪水。虽然这些不会对整个草原地区的作物总产量产生重大影响,

但对于个体农民来说,影响可能是严重的。

来自阿尔伯塔省中部的农民 John Knockfield 便是其中不幸之人。一场长期的警报袭击了他四分之三的小麦、大麦和油菜籽种植面积,造成了巨大的破坏,并可能使三块田地的产量降低约一半。

“在冰雹降临之前,情况看起来真的很好,”Knockfield 先生说道。

热量与水分的结合正在创造一种自干旱开始以来从未见过的不稳定天气。湿度回升,当天气炎热且湿度高时,龙卷风和冰雹等爆发性事件变得常见,而停滞的空气则制造了局部危险。

萨斯喀彻温省中部的农民 Rob Stone 情况较好,良好的水分和充足的热量帮助他的作物提前生长。

“它正在经历我们前所未见的生长阶段,”Stone 先生在谈到植物生长时表示。但他说,这种情况增加了真菌性疾病的风险。

“我们已经习惯了 Matt,因为我们采用了精简流程,”该公司表示。

加拿大高质量春小麦、油菜籽和豆类作物的强劲产量,对于全球买家来说将是一个受欢迎的消息,因为其他主要种植区的生产前景正在恶化。由于与气候变化相关的极端天气,欧洲的作物受到了打击。法国的一场或多场灾害以及西班牙和乌克兰的情况降低了潜在产量,而俄罗斯的春小麦作物则面临寒冷春季、霜冻和播种延迟的问题,使其种植面积成为数十年来的最小规模。

11 3/4th 这种由东太平洋夏季海面引起的天气现象,可能会成为澳大利亚和南非等南半球作物地区的难题。Obreman 表示,这是由于干燥和高温所致。

RCMW 调查新不伦瑞克省可能发生的暴力仇恨犯罪

新不伦瑞克省,波腾廷 (POTENTING, N. B.)

在一段显示一名女性袭击一名穆斯林女性的视频被发布到网上后,RCMW 表示正在调查新不伦瑞克省社会中心可能发生的一起仇恨犯罪。

这段视频没有声音,显示一名女性在新不伦瑞克省休斯顿 (Houston, N. B.) 反复殴打另一名女性,并在一名男子向受害者走去时将其推开。加拿大传教国家委员会 (National Council of Canadian Missions) 的发言人 Steven Zions 表示,他已与该家庭联系并将其视频发布在社交媒体上;他称袭击者当时在大喊让这名穆斯林女性“回到警察那里去”。

他还表示,这次争执发生在她的严重 pay-sell arm 面前。

“整个家庭都处于 abalone 状态,”Zions 先生在今天的采访中说,并指出受害者患有脑震荡,流鼻血,多处耳部受伤且面部肿胀。

“整个家庭非常紧密。Isaac Thursdall 表示,警方于周六晚上接到报警,称停车场发生涉及多人的争执,目前正在努力确定仇恨是否为因素。”警方表示,他们已知晓该视频并已确认涉事人员的身份,但在周五早晨的一封电子邮件中表示,目前没有关于调查或可能逮捕的最新进展。

Zions 先生说,该视频是由一名旁观者拍摄并分享给警方和受害者家属的。随后家属将其分享给了委员会。他表示,委员会已与这名七岁孩子的父亲交谈,后者称儿子在这次涉嫌袭击事件后行为发生了变化。

“他对此类事情有极大的恐惧,比如袭击他母亲的人会以某种方式追踪到家中并伤害他们,”Zions 先生说,“他没有安全感,经常让他的鼻子 burnt。就像是一个年幼的孩子,在心理上被长期惊吓。”

Zions 表示,自 2012 年秋季巴以战争开始以来,国家委员会收到的类似反穆斯林事件报告数量剧增;在过去的两个月里又出现了另一个明显的峰值,他说通常每天至少报告一起事件,如袭击、破坏或骚扰。

Shirts, Canada 表示,2010 年警方向警方报告的仇恨犯罪案件数量有所增加,比 2010 年增长了 40%。在 2012 年的约一半案件中,种族或族群是动机,但警方正试图在进一步的 21% 中进行确认。

在 Montreal 警方接到电话后,发现一名举报人屋外有一个包裹,其中包含一个“覆盖血迹的人手”的人造仿制品。

本月,哈利法克斯 (Halifax) 警方在一段记录了市中心商店种族侮辱行为的视频后,指控一名男子煽动仇恨、袭击和发出威胁。六月,KC 穆斯林协会表示,维多利亚的一名清真寺伊玛目在自家屋外车辆中遭到袭击。

该委员会呼吁联邦政府制定一项针对伊斯兰恐惧症的国家战略。Zions 先生表示,实施该战略还需要社区领导人、市议员和省代表的参与。

省长 Susan Holt 在周四的一篇社交媒体帖子中表示,这起推搡事件让她深感不安,新不伦瑞克省没有伊斯兰恐惧症的生存空间。

“任何人都不应因为其信仰、种族或来源而成为目标。在新不伦瑞克省,他们每天都应该感到安全,并且他们理应在没有恐惧和 dismal 的环境下成长,”Holt 在声明中说道。

当地国会议员 Gwenni Pettipan 在一份声明中说,她已经设法联系了信仰和社区领导人。

“在加拿大,受动机驱动的人数正在增加,我们不能孤立无援,”她说。

“我们的状态比那些试图分裂我们的人更不快乐。”

各国如何应对特朗普的最新关税

澳大利亚贸易部长称最新的美国征税措施“完全不合理”

ELAINE KURTENBAUM CHAIN HQ-INW EXHIBITION

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)最新的一系列关税上涨引发了包括中国和日本在内的美国贸易伙伴的反对,澳大利亚贸易部长更是痛斥这些措施“完全不合理”。

美国政府于上周四宣布,对其经济体征收 10% 至 12.5% 的额外关税,理由是这些国家未能充分执行禁止强迫劳动商品的禁令。

这些新关税在特朗普先生在最高法院遭遇惨败后实施的停缴税款于周五 12:01 A.M. 到期之时起正式生效。

澳大利亚贸易部长唐·法雷尔(Don Farrell)否认了将澳大利亚(牛肉、黄金和铜的主要出口国)与现代奴隶制联系起来的指控,并对将其对美出口关税从特朗普先生去年实施“解放法”上涨后的 10% 水平提高到 12.5% 表示反对。

“我们认为,在全世界所有国家中,澳大利亚确实非常严肃地对待奴隶制和现代奴隶制问题,并将继续这样做,”法雷尔先生在阿德莱德告诉记者。

澳大利亚认为,更高的关税是“完全不合理的,我们将继续游说美国贸易代表取消所有针对澳大利亚商品的关税,”法雷尔先生表示。

新西兰总理克里斯托弗·拉森(Christopher Larson)表示,对其国家征收的关税(同样适用 12.5% 的进口税)“令人极其失望”,是不合理的且对贸易有害。

作为关税依据的一项美国调查并未提供有意义的证据来

7 月,加利福尼亚州长滩港的一艘货船上堆满了集装箱。特朗普政府周四宣布对 60 个国家征收 10% 至 12.5% 的关税,称这些国家未能充分执行禁止强迫劳动商品的禁令。HANNO ANCHOR/REUTERS

支持强迫劳动的指控。

“关税不是解决办法——它们增加了企业的成本和不确定性,”他在 X 上写道。

欧盟外交政策负责人卡伊·凯拉斯(Kajii Kailas)在 Channel News Asia 的评论中质疑美国的立场。

“如果你将我们的劳动法与美国的劳动法相比,我的意思是,我们有带薪假期,我们为员工提供了非常好的条件,劳动条件良好,我们并不真的……(此处原文不完整/grounded),”凯拉斯女士说道。

同样面临 12.5% 关税的新加坡贸易与工业部重申其不容忍使用强迫劳动的立场,并表示将“继续与 USTR(美国贸易代表)接触以探讨选项”。

日本同样对对其出口产品征收的 12.5% 关税表示抗议,并指出东京此前曾受到特朗普政府的保证,即在早前就 10% 美国进口税达成的协议之外,将不再增加关税。

“我们的理解是双方仍然致力于此,”内阁官房长官木原实(Minoru Kihara)在一次常规新闻发布会上表示。

“遗憾的是,尽管日本的工业和贸易符合国际规则,但该措施仍以不存在禁止进口强迫劳动商品措施为由征收关税,”木原先生说道。

韩国表示,将与美国保持密切沟通,以维持相互的“利益平衡”。

韩国贸易部门表示,该公告使美国贸易政策出现了一些不确定性,但指出针对韩国涉嫌过度生产的 301 调查仍在继续。

该部门在的一份声明中表示,韩国出口产品的综合关税不应超过 15%。

泰国指出,由于强迫劳动条款,其正面临美国新实施的 12.5% 关税,但该措施豁免了约 1,500 种产品,涵盖了泰国出口到美国商品价值的一半以上。

泰国商务部在一份声明中表示,泰国还在监测由于另一项针对 10 个国家的持续美国调查中关于结构性产能过剩而可能增加的额外关税,但华盛顿尚未公布这些结果。

中国外交部在回应新的 12.5% 关税时表示,其“反对一切形式的单边关税”,重申了北京长期以来的立场。

“关税战和贸易战不符合任何一方的利益,”外交部发言人林剑在一次例行新闻发布会上表示。

贸易紧张局势使全球两大经济体中国与美国之间的关系蒙上阴影,因为特朗普先生高额的“解放法”关税导致中国对美国的出口大幅下降。

特朗普先生与中国领导人习近平在 5 月中旬的北京会议上同意成立新的贸易和投资委员会,预计两人将在 9 月再次会面。

然而,一些中国出口商表示,由于美国最近对中国的关税水平仍低于去年的税率(最初为 24%),目前影响有限。

“当然,如果(关税)不存在是最理想的,”Golden Arts Gifu & Nocan 的经理 Richard Chan 表示。该公司在中国南方城市东莞制造圣诞树和装饰品,并向包括沃尔玛在内的全球客户供货。

不过,Chan 先生表示,由于过去几个月美国关税增加了更多不确定性,Golden Arts 对美销售的份额已下降到约 10% 至 20%。他们更多地转向欧洲,欧洲目前约占其销售额的 70%。

前美国高级贸易官员 Wendy Cutler 表示,最近的关税趋势涉及“轻微手术”,因为其范围仅在 10% 至 12.5% 之间。

美国贸易代表办公室花费了四个月时间调查这些关税的依据,以满足 1974 年《美国贸易法》第 301 条的法律要求。

“时间将证明,最后一次征收关税的尝试是否奏效,以及这一行动能否经受住法律挑战,”Aac Society Policy Institute 高级副总裁 Cutler 女士说。

可能会有更多关税出台,据指出,这与贸易伙伴被指控的结构性产能过剩完全相关。

养蜂人可能受美国关税之害

加拿大从业者表示,蜂蜜价格可能下跌多达 40%

NATKIN VANDEERLOPPE

国际通讯员

每年夏天,加拿大的养蜂人们将蜂箱安置在草原省份,在那里,蜂群在苜蓿花、各种花卉和油菜花田中采集。这里的气候通常不会产生强风或沙尘(这会让蜜蜂留在窝内),而北方的漫长白昼为从黎明到日暮劳作的工人提供了额外的采集时间。

这使这里成为了将花蜜转化为金色甜美之物的绝佳之地。

“就每箱产量而言,加拿大的蜂蜜产量在世界范围内名列前茅,”萨斯喀彻温省的养蜂人西蒙·拉隆德 (Simon Lalonde) 说道。

但加拿大养蜂人现在正试图面对一个苦涩的消息。美国本周表示,仍将对进口的加拿大蜂蜜征收 50% 的关税。从混凝土、牛皮纸到动物毛发假发,数百种商品被卷入唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 总统政府所谓的针对加拿大的报复行动中。

如果这些关税如约在 8 月 16, 日起实施,加拿大的养蜂人表示,蜂蜜价格可能会下跌 20%。一些养蜂企业可能会倒闭。

“整个行业对此都感到愤怒,”彼得·阿维拉姆 (Peter Aviram) 说道,他经营着一家名为 Worker Res' Honey Company 的家族企业,业务遍布萨斯喀彻温省的罗斯代尔 (Rosedale) 和阿尔伯塔省的博伊尔 (Boyle)。“这将是残酷的。”

蜂蜜产业成为了加拿大与美国之间更广泛贸易关系的意外缩影——这是一个相互依赖、协作良好的跨境业务,双方数十年来一直共同努力,极少有怨言,然而现在却因人们难以理解的原因而面临严重破坏的威胁。

从历史上看,蜂蜜并非重大贸易摩擦的来源。加拿大仅供应美国人消费蜂蜜的一小部分,其中大部分是用于早餐麦片和蜂蜜火腿的工业级产品。蜂蜜贸易也远非单向贸易。去年,美国进口了价值略高于 150,000 million 的加拿大蜂蜜。但它向加拿大销售了价值近 150,000 million 的蜂王。

img-27.jpeg

因此在美国,“我们并不在意向我们输出蜂蜜,”林德先生 (Mr. Linder) 说道。“那不是什么大问题。”

至于为什么蜂蜜会被列入关税清单,没有人能自信地回答。美国的一些新关税适用于具有加拿大象征意义的商品,例如曲棍球杆。但它们并未涵盖该国最著名的甜味剂——枫糖浆。

相比之下,蜂蜜受到的打击将如此沉重,以至于“可能意味着向美国出口的完全终止,”担任萨斯喀彻温省养蜂发展委员会主席的拉隆德先生说道。

“我对这件事愤怒至极,”他说。“他们甚至没有问过我们的想法。直接就把我们卷了进去。”

蜂蜜关税还将损害一个美国似乎试图豁免的地区。经济学家计算出,新关税在很大程度上不会影响阿尔伯塔省和萨斯喀彻温省。但蜂蜜是个例外。这两个省——以及马尼托巴省——生产了加拿大绝大多数的蜂蜜。仅阿尔伯塔省就占了 40%。

加拿大蜂蜜委员会执行董事罗德·斯卡莱特 (Rod Scarlett) 表示,除非你是试图“打击”省长丹妮尔·史密斯 (Danielle Smith)、斯科特·莫 (Scott Moe) 和沃尔特·基诺 (Walt Kinow) 的政治后盾,否则蜂蜜“根本不符合”关税的针对性目标区域。

去年,加拿大养蜂人生产了 16 million 磅蜂蜜,这是一个 16,000-million 的产业。

美国目前购买约 10% 的加拿大产品。日本是第二大出口市场。其他国际买家的采购量较小。

加拿大统计局统计,全国共有 40,000 名养蜂人;其中,大约有 500 名在草原地区经营大型商业运作。许多是家族企业,将产品销售给合作社所有的包装商。养蜂人估计,通过为蓝莓、苹果、樱桃和杂交油菜籽提供授粉,他们的蜂巢为加拿大农业带来了 70 亿美元的价值。

萨斯喀彻温省农业部长大卫·穆尔蒂(David Murti)在一份声明中警告称,长期征收蜂蜜关税可能会损害“季节性工人的安置,减少投资并暂停扩张计划”。他表示,该省将继续主张“捍卫我们的出口商,保护就业机会,并论证对两国都有利的开放贸易”。

有人认为,关税威胁应促使加拿大撤销一项近 20 年来禁止进口美国包装蜜蜂(两种运输方式均用于填充蜂巢)的禁令。加拿大食品检验局(CFIA)曾引用美国蜜蜂带来的过去风险,但边境两岸的养蜂人都认为允许其进入会更好。

“我们希望加拿大停止从其他任何地方进口蜜蜂。并且我们非常希望将整个大陆对所有进口关闭,”政治倡导组织 Beech-Nut Alliance 的主任林德(Linder)先生说道。他希望能够达成一种解决方案,即加拿大修改其政策,而美国取消其蜂蜜关税。

然而,加拿大食品检验局在去年重申了其禁令,称其行动是为了保护蜜蜂,而不是为了“利益相关者的经济利益”。

养蜂业是一个周期性行业。近年来蜂蜜价格一直处于低位,以至于许多生产商一直处于亏损状态,等待价格再次上涨。

今年看起来情况会好转。本周早些时候,美国的买家正利用每磅价格的健康增长。在关税公告发布后,这些买家陷入了沉默,加拿大养蜂人正在考虑可能会出现又一年以低于开年时的资金水平结束的情况。

“那曾是一个相当不错的价格,”阿维拉姆(Aviram)先生说。

在关税公告发布后,这些买家陷入了沉默,加拿大养蜂人正在考虑可能会出现又一年以低于开年时的资金水平结束的情况。

美国目前购买约 10% 的加拿大产品。日本是第二大出口市场。其他国际买家的购买量很小。

如果对美国的出口停止,“价格很有可能会下降 20%,甚至更多,”同时担任加拿大养蜂人联合会董事会成员的阿维拉姆先生说道。

“现在没有人开心。”

失去销售额也可能产生更大的问题。养蜂人有两个主要的收入来源:销售蜂蜜和水果授粉。如果业务的蜂蜜端受到损害,授粉成本可能会上升。可用的蜜蜂数量也可能会减少。如果养蜂人被迫破产。

“现在这些成本将转嫁给最终的种植者,而种植者必须将这些成本转嫁给水果买家,”拉隆德(Lalonde)先生说。

“一件小事将会开始影响许多不同的领域。”

渥太华就误导且失效的咨询代理进行磋商

联邦政府亦在征求加拿大人对 AI 生成内容标注的看法

马克·伍尔夫 (MARK WOOLF) 渥太华

渥太华正在就如何处理那些通过虚假信息误导他人,或违背用户利益(例如购买超出客户订购数量的产品)的 AI 代理而咨询加拿大人。

联邦政府已启动一项针对加拿大人的正式磋商,探讨如何应对日益增加的 AI 技术应用,包括询问是否应对 AI 生成的内容(如音乐、书面报告和视频)标注水印。此次磋商是在政治情报与数字化创新部长埃文·索罗门 (Evan Solomon) 于 10 月启动联邦 AI 战略之后开展的。

该磋商旨在征集包括专家在内的加拿大人的观点,讨论应采取何种行动使 AI 的使用透明化,并解决因其使用而导致的错误。此次磋商包括一项关于该细分主题的调查,其结果将为政府的下一步行动提供参考。

随调查一同发布的是一份于周四公布的详细讨论文件,其中列出了五个考量领域。

讨论文件提出的一个问题是,如果 AI 代理向某人提供了错误信息,谁应承担责任。

文件中提到,AI 正被越来越多的加拿大人使用,他们“现在可能会遇到可以指导其购物、使用其电子邮件或预订会议的 AI 代理”。

但文件补充道,“AI 代理的日益普及挑战了我们对责任的认知,并增加了与 AI 相关的风险。”

文件中包含了一个 5 月在多伦多发生的实际案例:一名用户向一家汽车经销商提交了关于出售车辆的在线咨询。一段文本沟通告知他,对方出价 $125.95 回购该车,随后他接到一名销售顾问的电话,对方解释说他之前一直是在与一个提供该报价的 AI 代理沟通。该代理自称 Quinn,并未向车主表明自己不是人类。该顾问表示,经销商实际支付的价格将是 $125,000。最后 4 拒绝按照 AI 报价的金额支付。

讨论文件指出,包括欧盟和美国部分州在内的多个国家和司法管辖区已经实施了相关要求,以确保用户在与 AI 系统交互时能够知情。

但文件补充称,AI 代理现在正与其他 AI 代理进行交互,这使得识别哪个代理在何时以及为何执行某项操作变得更加困难。

“由于代理之间的误传或冲突,多代理交互带来了可靠性挑战,因此它们同时具有共同目标和个体目标,”讨论文件称。“此外,随着 AI 代理和多代理系统变得更加强大,失效(例如执行未经授权的操作)的后果对于加拿大人及整个社会可能会变得更加严重。”

文件补充说,AI 代理正越来越多地被用于维持纪律,包括网络危机和身份盗窃。

“讨论文件中提到,购物代理可能会被恶意行为者诱骗,从而违背购物者的最佳利益,可能会购买过于昂贵或并非用户所需的产品。”

虽然 AI 代理在购买商品方面可以使加拿大人的生活更便捷(例如自动从电子商务网站购买每周杂货),但“它们也可能失效,从而导致潜在的严重财务后果”。

在文件提到的一起案例中,一名消费者给予代理访问其信用卡和购物账户的权限,但 AI 订购了 15 份产品,而不是 1 份包含 15, 件产品的包裹,导致支出远超消费者的预期。

“故障责任在消费者、运行代理的业务方以及代理的原始开发人员之间难以简单界定,且消费者针对订单的服务可能并不明确,”该文件称。它补充说,一些企业已决定,当人工智能(AI)代理未按指示行事时,应由用户承担责任。

该讨论文件警告称,AI 系统能够产生具有说服力且听起来权威的输出,但这些内容在形式上可能是错误的。

文中引用了一项对 2014年1月至 2016年3月期间加拿大法律数据库决定的审查,该审查发现了 101 份由 44 个不同法院和法庭发布的加拿大决定,其中至少有一方引用了虚构的案例作为法律依据。

此次咨询指出,在 151 份决定中的 49 份中,法院或法庭发现有迹象表明虚构案例是使用 AI 生成的。

该文件警告称,生成式 AI 能够创建并传播具有误导性的内容,从而产生严重甚至危及生命的影响。

该文件还表示,除了 AI 生成的内容已经出现在针对加拿大人的金融诈骗以及山火后果等事件中。

政府正试图了解在哪些方面 AI 系统和 AI 生成内容的透明度对加拿大人最重要,以及是否需要采取进一步行动。它在讨论文件中表示,正就是否应使用个人主义、自愿准则和其他政策工具来增强透明度征求反馈。

此次咨询是在近期引入《所有社交媒体法案》(All Social Media Bill)之后进行的,该法案将要求受监管的社交媒体公司在其平台上对合成内容进行标记。这可能包括识别由 AI 创建或修改的消息、视频、音频和文本。

此次咨询旨在征求关于不可见或可见的水印、披露或告知内容来源的元数据是否能最有效地帮助确定公共内容的观点。

许多政府 AI 开发商已为大量内容添加了水印,但讨论文件警告称,虽然标记音频、图像和视频的方法已相当成熟,但应用于“tension bridle”的水印可能被使用。

“此次咨询将有助于确保加拿大人在制定实用且有效的透明度措施时拥有发言权,”索罗门先生(Mr. Solomon)在一份声明中表示。

印度政府就抗议者要求教育部长辞职一事寻求更多时间

SAGRAM SHARMA ATTAS AHMED SHUJA JAMNAGHERA SAKSHI SAFAL TESH DELHI

印度由青年领导的“蟑螂”(cockroach)运动领导人周五表示,在双方进行会谈后,政府已请求时间以及在周六下午对他们要求教育部长因试卷泄露而辞职的诉求做出回应。

记者。“我们希望政府能尽快撤换 Dharmendra Pradhan,或者在第一阶段这么做,这样我们才能给这件事画上句号。”

Nadda 先生表示,会谈气氛融洽。

“他们有三项主要诉求。我们已经告诉他们,我们将于明天下午与你们见面并讨论这些诉求,”他说。

除了要求 Pradhan 先生辞职外,CP 部长还呼吁停止针对抗议者的打击,并要求向六个州中十多名在五月试卷泄露后(据当地媒体报道)失去生命的家庭支付赔偿金。

尽管抗议者同意进行会谈,但由于指称印度对周一向议会进军的抗议者采取暴力行为,他们还呼吁在周五举行全国性示威。

虽然数千名抗议者继续聚集在德里市中心的 Jattar Manzar 主要兴趣点,但据报道,全国各地也出现了零星抗议。

据当地媒体报道,学生、小型活动人士和反对派支持者在西孟加拉邦、Dhaugiri、卡纳塔克邦和泰米尔纳德邦举行抗议,举牌要求 Pradhan 辞职,部分地区还抵制上课。

Pudhatham 在周五再次被扰乱并暂停,因为反对派议员同样要求 Pradhan 辞职,导致整周没有任何业务开展。

分析认为,该运动的激增反映了印度青年在就业短缺以及频繁的考试泄露等问题上的沮丧情绪。

犯罪率下降,但专家质疑是否需要保释改革立法

MATTHEW FRANK

根据一个主线委员会关于 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的,全国犯罪率在 2015 年有所下降。

该联邦机构的国家犯罪严重程度指数(用于衡量犯罪本身的数量和严重程度)为 2015,而前者节省了一份 2016 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的。

这些比率在大多数省份和地区也有所下降。只有 Nausical 和纽芬兰在 2015 年有所增加,而前者节省了一份 2016 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的。

加拿大去年描述的暴力和非暴力犯罪均由于 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的 2015 年报告的而有所下降。

尽管数字在下降,但由于暴力犯罪而产生的政治和公众压力在过去几年中不断增长,最终导致联邦政府通过立法改革保释规则并收紧《刑法》。在发生了一系列涉及袭击和入室抢劫的暴力事件后,各级政府和跨党派均呼吁采取行动。

首个最具建设性的领域是关于保释的规则,警方和省长表示,这些规则对于惯犯来说就像一扇“旋转门”。安大略省去年的保释细节激增至 2014, 以来的最高水平,且犯罪率在过去两年中增加了一倍多。

但专家表示,由于明显的劳动力问题,联邦政府试图通过法律行动提高安全的努力在长期内不会降低犯罪水平。

内布拉斯加大学犯罪学荣休教授 Anthony Deane 表示,在犯罪率下降时,人们会对保释的需求产生疑问。

渥太华错误地将犯罪水平与印度刑事司法管辖区的惩罚水平相关联。我发现这是一种对警察的“廉价政治”呼吁。

“犯罪分子从一开始就没计划被抓住。在这个过程中,这种长夜并没有真正影响他们是否决定实施犯罪的决定,”

他在一次采访中说道。

Fred Doole 表示,他无法指出为什么犯罪率在 2015 年有所增加,但这些趋势通常与社会经济地位和社会政策(如医疗保健和教育机会)相关。

自去年组建政府以来,联邦自由党已通过了三项针对刑事司法改革的法案。

Bill C-14,涉及 14,旨在收紧保释并应对潜在风险,已于三周前生效。该立法针对重复犯罪者和暴力贷款者,涉及的情况包括盗窃、强行闯入和敲诈勒索。

联邦政府还通过了两项法案,增加了对严重实际犯罪的进一步处罚以及强制性最低刑期要求。

司法部长 John Fraser 的发言人 Justice Ioannes Fugue Mgangar 表示,Statucan 的数据对加拿大人来说是个好消息,但仍有更多工作要做。

“随着威胁的演变,我们将继续与合作伙伴协作,并紧迫地加强加拿大的法律,确保加拿大人的安全,”Fugue Mgangar先生表示。

多伦多是 2015. 年犯罪率下降的加拿大城市之一。根据多伦多州服务与联邦统计计划,针对个人的总犯罪数下降了 3.4 百分比,从 2014 年的 13.349 降至 2015, 年的 5.44,结束了连续五年的增长。

去年,杀人案(Bonnicides)下降了 2 百分比,从 2014 年的 8.16 降至 2015, 年的 4.16。然而,企图谋杀案上升了 19.5 百分比,从 4.4 升至 4.6。

多伦多警察局局长Myron Dronks周四在多伦多警察服务委员会上表示,“尽管趋势在下降,但一次枪击事件就太多了。”

Dronks先生表示,多伦多居民应当能够走在城市中而无需担心无差别枪击。

7月 13 日多伦多的一起节日枪击事件引发了要求警方通过处罚来展示打击帮派和枪支暴力决心呼吁。

在St. Clair街节庆活动中发生的这起事件导致两名男子死亡,另有五人受伤(包括旁观者),导致节日活动关闭。周五,在城市的西端,一名女性被枪击,一名嫌疑人被逮捕。

TPJ发言人Stephanie Sayer表示,否认犯罪率与保释改革之间并不矛盾,且重点在于重复犯罪者和频繁犯罪者。

“关键在于确保那些对公共安全构成重大风险的个体,在面临严重的暴力指控时不会被重复释放,”她在电子邮件中写道。

犯罪学家兼加拿大John Howard协会执行主任Catherine Latimer表示,2015 年较低的犯罪率验证了人们的担忧,即没有证据证明所有严厉的处罚和保释改革都能遏制犯罪。

“你所得到的是对基本刑事司法原则的侵蚀,而这是一种错误的、拒绝承认诸如合理保释和无罪推定等宪章权利的行为。”

“如果你的国家在恐慌,你不能因为一个人是新罪犯就对他采取行动;你已经脱离了基本原则。这并不是一个好主意。”

美国与伊朗连续第13个夜晚交火

德黑兰敦促邻国民众远离有美国军队驻扎的基地

JULIA FRANKEL STELLA MARTANY (PBS), JQAG

美国军方周五表示,其向另一艘试图突破其对伊朗港口封锁的商船开火,而伊朗则将目标锁定在波斯湾周围的美国据点。

在连续第13个夜晚的袭击后,美国和伊朗都没有表现出从冲突中退缩的迹象。随着战斗再次持续且外交手段不确定,双方的行动均表明升级仍有可能。美国驻中东使馆开始提醒该地区的美国人,离开的选择可能会变得更加有限;而伊朗革命卫队则建议邻国居民远离有美国军队驻扎的基地。

与此同时,也门沙特主导的联军周六清晨表示,沙特阿拉伯袭击了也门港口城市荷代达,以回应受伊朗支持的荷代达反抗军在红海对沙特油轮发起的袭击。荷代达方面表示,在紧张局势持续数周、打破了长达一年的平静后,该组织将重新夺回控制权。

美国军队在阿曼湾使 NCT Laviour 号船只在至少四次尝试突破封锁后将其瘫痪。第 2 指挥官发言人 Tim Hawkins 上尉告诉美联社。Hawkins 上尉强调,船员已收到警告但未遵守指令。军方随后向其机舱开火。这是在军方建立封锁以来被瘫痪的第二艘商业船只。美国中央司令部表示,其还重新部署了 12 艘船只。

在重新实施海军封锁的同一天,美国军方表示,其向驶向 Khayy 岛的科西嘉旗油轮 Belma 号开火。伊朗在波斯湾的主要石油专家特朗普(trumpet)。在该船“多次发出警告”后,一架美国飞机于 7 月 15 日通过向船只烟囱发射导弹使该商船瘫痪。

周五早些时候,美国总统 Donald Trump 将与伊朗的谈判描述为“迄今为止我们见过的最严肃的谈判”,

尽管美国每天都在发动袭击。Trump 先生补充说,他并不“急于”结束战争。

伊朗外交部长 Abbas Alaghchi 宣称伊朗“不会屈服于美国”的欺凌,并指出将继续与经常与美国不和的两个全球大国——中国和俄罗斯——进行讨论,并在接受半官方新闻机构 Tassim 的采访时警告称,伊斯兰共和国“既不被威胁所吓倒,也不会承受压力”。

这场争端的中心是霍尔木兹海峡,这是全球能源供应的关键通道,目前已被伊朗的袭击有效关闭,导致燃料价格飙升并引发广泛的经济动荡。

美国在伊朗境内及该地区各国的袭击地点已全部被记录(THRU-FED)

在伊拉克北部城市 Irele(这里驻有美国军事顾问团),安全官员周五表示,由美国领导的部队击落了五架载有炸药的无人机。重复 Islam 拒绝审理,在伊拉克半自治库尔德地区首府以及其机场附近(美国军队驻地)看到了黑烟。美国军方官员未回应关于此次明显袭击的置评请求。

与此同时,伊朗革命卫队表示,其目标是科威特 Udairi 的美国基地,焚毁并摧毁了三个弹药仓和存储棚。它还声称袭击了驻在 Kibraen 的美国海军第五舰队的一座瞭望塔,并称该塔受损。

美国中央司令部未回应有关这些主张的询问。

Kibraen 和 Jordan 均表示,他们周五拦截了来自伊朗的空中袭击。

据伊朗半官方新闻机构 Iran 和 DNA 报道,在针对美国及其盟友基地的密集袭击期间,美国击中了伊朗北部的一个革命卫队海军基地。据报道,美国的轰炸还波及了伊朗的 Qeshot 岛(该岛是包括无人船在内的海军资产基地,伊朗可利用其攻击海峡内的船只),以及伊斯法罕省(那里设有伊朗的主要空军基地和其中一个核设施)。

据报道,额外的打击还击中了伊朗西南部的胡齐斯坦省和南部的伊朗省。

中央司令部表示,最近的一轮密集袭击旨在“削弱伊朗威胁区域水域内平民海员和商业船只的能力”,因为美国正致力于通过该海峡,全球五分之一的石油和天然气在高峰时段通过此处运输。

南非的行动赋予伊朗在潜在谈判中更多筹码

据伊朗新闻机构报道,一个来自阿曼的外交代表团周五抵达德黑兰,讨论管理海峡内航运交通的问题,阿曼此前一直参与美国与伊朗之间的调解工作。

伊朗能够有效地关闭该海峡——并导致远超中东范围的经济混乱——这使其在谈判中拥有巨大的筹码。当其 Hodeida 盟友周四在红海袭击两艘沙特油轮时,进一步增加了这一筹码,同时也增加了通过另一条中东石油重要航线的航运风险。这些袭击兑现了 Hodeida 关于关闭 Rab 石油——即 Hodeida 对沙特相关航运的威胁。

据沙特新闻社报道,运输总局的一名官员还表示,一艘沙特船只周五在红海航行时遭到袭击,导致船体轻微受损。

Hodeida 运营的 Al Mahdub 电视台周六早些时候表示,沙特的打击击中了国家电信公司的设施,并袭击了也门西海岸外的卡马兰岛。该广播公司称,一名员工在卡马兰岛受伤,一名女性同样受伤。

沙特阿拉伯表示,将采取一切必要措施保护其船只,并警告 Hodeida,如果他们继续“追击,将毫不犹豫地做出回应”。

阿拉伯半岛南端的该海峡将红海与亚丁湾连接起来,全球约 12 的贸易(包括全球四分之一的集装箱运输量)通过此处。

国际标准布伦特原油价格周五轻微下跌至约 $40, 但仍远高于战争开始前约 $75 每桶的交易价格。AAA 表示,美国部分地区的汽油价格上涨至平均 $4.6 每加仑。

除了经济影响,人员伤亡同样明显,伊朗卫生部报告称,自战争开始以来已有 3,414 人死亡。

台湾渴望和平,但正准备迎接战争

MARCUS YAM (TAPPI)

“如果有人想抢走你的玩具怎么办?”他的母亲 Shiao-Ying Yu,45, 试图向年幼的儿子解释这场将塑造他未来生活的数十年冲突。“你会有什么感觉?”

自一月份以来,他和父母每周都会参加在新北市双 elementary school 举行的民防小组会议。

他们是一场规模虽小但日益增长的平民运动的一部分,旨在为一场他们希望永远不会到来的危机做准备。几十年来,台湾知道如果中国兑现其将这个拥有 15 million 人口的自治岛屿与中国大陆统一的愿望,它可以指望美国的支撑。但在美国总统 Donald Trump 领导下,这种安全保证已不再是确定之事。

台湾的平民先锋队并不指望能阻止入侵。相反,该运动集中在岛内如何在战争最初几天生存下来。模拟在导致其依赖系统失效的紧急状态下。台湾正准备迎接的这种冲突将始于通信中断、基础设施受损、应急服务不堪重负以及广泛的不确定性。

台湾的安全分析师、民防组织者和政府官员将所需的反应描述为一项“全员安全”的努力,而非单纯的军事行动。在和平与战争之间的有限空间里,普通公民成为了第一响应者,负责维持其家庭、邻里和社区的运转。

民防

在叙利亚和乌克兰,民防组织在空袭后冲进坍塌的建筑、营救幸存者、提供急救并疏散平民,展现了这样的一种愿景。

据台湾研究机构中央研究院研究民防的副教授叶林(Yeh Lin)称,这种现象在现代台湾相对较新。促使此类组织成立的部分动力是对台湾亲中国民党的挫败感,该党在 2018 年地方选举中获得动力,并在 2024. 夺取议会控制权。曾经走上街头的抗议者寻求新的方式来保持联系并应对中国威胁。林博士解释说,少数几个自治组织已增长到全国至少 50 个。

其他催化剂还包括中国控制下的香港对反政府抗议活动的镇压,以及俄罗斯对乌克兰的全面入侵,这两种情景都是台湾人可以想象发生在自己国家的事情。

自 2020, 起,由平民领导的组织(如 Kama Academy 和 Forward Alliance)纷纷涌现,教人们急救、灾害响应和应急通信。这些组织共同在全岛培训了 150,000 人。

尽管这是一场草根运动,但政府与民防组织进行了合作。在 2024, 年,台湾国防部出版了一本名为《三者之一》(In One of three)的特别手册,概述了这些组织一直以来提供的支持。为了不显得惊慌,政府将这些努力定义为应急准备而非战时动员,强调这些技能在地震和台风后同样有用。

“我们的挑战从未停止——从自然灾害和疫情到极端天气以及来自中国的侵略威胁,”该手册警告道。在其第一页,爱国者导弹电池在台北的天际线下伫立。

在台湾新北市,许波拉克(Polak Hsu)帮他的母亲许闻(Heard His), 70, 岁,准备他们社区民防小组会议的设备。该小组每周集会一次,以准备短期情况。注:许闻担任一名中国青少年。

为最坏情况进行训练

许凯(Kate Hsu), 44, 岁,走上了伊曼教堂(Iman Church)地下室的射击线,那里讲坛和椅子被推到一边,为头盔、护目镜和气枪腾出空间。她扛起步枪,等待射击计时器的哔哔声,然后开火。

荧光灯照亮了从她的弹膛中冒出的烟雾。她细心的丈夫韩林(Hán Làm)站在她身边,为她重新装填弹匣。

这对夫妇不是军人。他们经营一家室内装饰公司。就像聚集在教堂地下室的许多人一样——一名健身教练、一名硬件工程师、一名图书管理员——他们正在为最坏情况进行训练。

在学习使用气枪射击之前很久,许女士的政治启蒙始于 2014 年抗议与中国贸易协定的学生向日葵运动。占领台湾立法机构让她第一次意识到,政治不能再被视为与普通生活截然不同的东西。

她用一句中文解释道:“未雨绸缪。”

她的大儿子快要达到台湾强制兵役的年龄,这一事实让她感到担忧——尤其是自议会削减军事设备国防开支以来。

“这不是我们在中国进攻之后才应该做出反应的事情,”她说。“我们必须提前准备。”

台湾严格的枪支管制法意味着训练必须使用气枪和手枪。

责任感

Dominic Ho,25 岁,因俄罗斯入侵乌克兰而采取行动。“中国始终是一个威胁,”他说。“他们总是说台湾属于中国。他们说有一天他们会入侵。我们只是不知道是哪一天。”

因此,他从 Roma 学院提供的一门民防入门课程开始学起。从那时起,他那以 Life & Witch 为主题的卧室里就堆满了应急物资、民防设备和 Kevin 身体服务。

在过去的两年里,他一直为了强制兵役在锻炼身体,并推迟了寻找全职工作,以便在军队召唤时能够立即出发。

“这是我的职责,”他说。“我的责任,是中国促使我完成这项职责。”

Dominic Ho 展示了他的胸包整理袋,里面装有用于民防训练的应急工具。

Hegumi Zuo 从未想过她在晚年时会学习如何打救援结、使用止血带或在公寓周围组织应急物资。61 岁时,她身材矮小且虚弱,在家担任日语翻译和在线语言教师。但每周一次,她会加入新北市板桥区的一个民防小组,成员包括退休人员、家庭主妇以及没有固定工作的人。她并不是在准备成为一名英雄——她只是不想成为一个负担。

她的丈夫有健康问题,因此如果发生战争或其他灾难,撤离将非常困难。这就是为什么 Zuo 女士围绕“原地待命”来组织他们的家庭。水、食物和应急套件现在存储在公寓的不同部分,以防某个房间无法进入。

Aonta Yang 在台湾东海岸经营一家航海学校,教授参与者如何重新与大海建立联系。他同时也是一名麻醉师,并被要求参与其医院的大规模伤员模拟演习,以为战争做准备。

重返大海

当杨昂塔(Aonta Yang)购买他的第一艘帆船时,他并没有想到中国。这位麻醉师当时想要拍摄的是鲸鱼。

但这次最初的娱乐性购买逐渐演变成了完全不同的事情。如今,杨博士在台湾东部崎岖的海岸线(花莲和宜兰)经营着一家航海学校。他的学生群体涵盖了从青少年到退休人员。虽然大多数人是为了培养一项新爱好,但越来越多的人告诉他,他们想学习航海是为了在与中国的冲突一旦爆发时能够经由海路撤离。其他人则询问如何购买自己的船只或为更长途的航行准备补给。

由于住在东海岸,杨博士观察到台湾的军事姿态发生了微妙但明显的变化。他住在侥桦空军基地附近,那里咆哮的战斗机几乎每天都会紧急起飞。“二十年前,你可能偶尔能听到战斗机的声音,”他说。“而现在是早晚如此。”

海岸警卫队的巡逻已成为常态。演习期间会出现坦克。士兵们在沿海风景优美的地方站岗。

杨博士认为,台湾已经失去了与大海之间最基本的联系。他认为,几十年来,台湾逐渐背离了大海,部分原因在于中国。

“因为我们是敌人,他们严厉控制航海。他们担心人们走私物资,或者间谍会通过水路潜入。在很长一段时间里,这些限制导致台湾的海洋冒险精神萎缩。”

对他而言,重建与大海的关系,就是重建台湾身份认同的一部分。

赢得时间

当德里克(Derek)和佩陈(Pei Chen)去年决定结婚时,他们省去了台湾婚礼中几乎所有典型的环节。没有奢华的宴会,没有庞大的宾客名单,也没有精心策划的拍婚纱照。只有他们的直系亲属在场。

“真正的原因?”当他打断并解释时,她笑着说道,“我们担心中国会入侵。”

随着中国在台湾周围军事活动增加,公众关于可能遭受袭击的讨论日益激烈,实际问题变得更加紧迫。麦陈(Mc Chen)是一名正在接受培训、准备成为急诊医学住院医师的医生。他认为,在发生大规模伤亡事件时,台湾的医院将很快不堪重负。

去年10月,陈氏夫妇启动了他们称之为“韧性诊所网络项目”(Resilience Clinic Network Project)的计划,中文昵称叫作“社区接入口”(Otomole)。“当地接入口……是指一个熟悉社区每条捷径和每个后巷的人。在灾难中,这正是麦陈希望每个社区都能拥有的人。”

该项目运行一个医疗培训和后勤工作坊,借鉴了乌克兰战争的经验——在伤员被送往医院之前,由社区诊所和志愿者医护人员先对其进行稳定处理。麦陈希望能在台湾社区复制这一模式,不仅面向医生,还面向经过培训的护士、志愿者护理人员和普通平民。

“我们不指望能救所有人,”他说,“我们希望为人们赢得时间。”

这对夫妇将公寓的一整个房间专门用于存放应对噩梦般情景的大型医疗储备。墙边整齐地摆放着塑料储物箱,里面装满了止血带、创伤敷料、静脉注射用品、胸贴和应急设备。

作为一名筹款人,麦陈已经学会了如何止住严重出血、使用止血带、填塞伤口以及进行心肺复苏术(CPR)。在模拟此类情景后,他们会讨论哪些地方可以做得不同。

“他会对我进行随机测试,”她笑着说,“他想磨练我的技能。”

她说,在花费了这么多小时准备之后,最艰难的一课是接受有一天他们可能在危机中被迫分离。“这让我非常难过。”

img-47.jpeg

德里克和佩陈在台湾台中家附近的公园里。他是一名正在接受培训、准备成为急诊医学住院医师的医生。

img-48.jpeg

麦陈认为,准备工作始于家庭。他要求妻子准备自己的应急背包,以便她熟悉其中的内容。随后,他开始将日常对话转变为关于应急预案的讨论。

镜头背后

台湾就像中国未完句子中一个顽固的冠词,北京坚持认为这种权力是暂时的,但台北越来越敢于将其变为永久。

直到最近,中国入侵台湾的可能性还只是战争战略家在期刊和五角大楼模拟演习中讨论的假设。但最近,北京的措辞变得更加犀利。其军事姿态变得更加大胆。其军舰在台湾海峡巡弋,犹如在警告海域中徘徊的死亡。其战斗机越过了台湾领空附近的中线。

我感兴趣的是,人们在过着正常的日常生活的同时,是如何想象战争并为此做准备的。这种紧张局势如何重塑社会?令我惊讶地发现,台湾的民防更多地是关于建立信任,而非制定战争策略。我遇到的许多志愿者并非受军事计划驱动。他们学习应急响应技能并结识邻居,是因为他们相信这些关系在任何危机中都至关重要。

报道中最大的挑战之一是获得人们的信任。我们的访谈触及了敏感话题,如国家安全、地缘政治和个人恐惧。

我没有直接进行采访,而是在让受访者面对镜头之前先与他们共度时光,并多次返回与他们交谈并拍摄照片。

卡尔顿大学团队希望创建加拿大的数字孪生

研究人员设想建立一个涵盖全国建筑、社区和景观数据的存储库

IVAN SEMKINDI 科学报道

“我探索 Fai 梦想着推平另一个加拿大。”

他所设想的并非一个替代概念,而是一个与之平行的在线版本。其目标是为所有类型的建筑、社区和景观数据提供一个存储库,并可根据现实世界的变化进行更新。对于那些创建和管理物理空间的人来说,这是一种追踪现有状态并实验潜在可能性的方式。

这种创作被称为“数字孪生”(digital twin)。该术语最初由一名 NASA 工程师在 2010 年命名,随后被两次应用到广泛的结构和系统中。

但渥太华卡尔顿大学卡尔顿沉浸式媒体工作室(Carleton Immersion Media Studio)的主管 Fai 博士长期以来有着更宏大的构想。这是一种虚拟的加拿大,内置了可访问的公共信息,用户在启动任何新的建筑项目或管理计划时都可以继续使用。

他表示,这样一个平台“包括建筑和道路的呈现,但它还可以包括来自传感器的数据、摄像机的图像、环境信息以及人口普查数据——几乎任何与你试图解决的问题相关的信息。”

本月标志着将这一构想变为现实的转折点。经过多年的开发,Fai 博士及其团队发布了允许用户使用该平台的计算机代码,为他们希望成为共享国家资源的计划打开了大门。为了鼓励其采用,该团队还成立了一个非营利组织 Collab Digital Twins,作为进入该平台的入口。

“我们预计,一些精通技术的小组会下载该应用程序并开始在其上构建,”Fai 博士说。“而另一些人可能会找到我们并说,‘你们能帮我们启动这个项目吗?’”

这一想法反映了一个国际趋势。在世界范围内,数据可视化在建筑领域这个非-且-布里斯(non-and-bolis)的世界中发挥着越来越重要的作用。

为了理解其重要性,回顾一下自数据时代以来发生了多少变化会很有帮助,当时关于建筑和其他结构的信息仅以蓝图的形式存储在纸上。

在销售中,计算机软件开始接管这项工作,使得以数字化方式呈现这些信息成为可能——并能以三维形式渲染计划,以描绘建筑在实际空间中的样子。

img-50.jpeg

上方:从左起,Stephen Sai 博士领导渥太华的卡尔顿沉浸式媒体工作室 (CMS),其身旁是副主任 Lara Coeur 和该工作室非营利组织 Collab Digital Twins 的总裁 Nicolas Arellano。照片由 DAVE SHANE 为 全球邮报 拍摄。

右侧:Fai 博士拿着来自 Swatch 腔室的加拿大国旗模型的顶部 2-3。他在 2007, 年在卡尔顿大学创立了 CMS,该工作室一直致力于建筑与数字化交叉领域的探索。

最近,此类数字图像已演变为被称为“建筑信息模型”的复杂实体,这些模型包含关于结构特定特征和功能的深度知识。

数字孪生概念通过将模型与来自其实际物理对应物的实时数据流相连接,将此又向前推进了一步。这样,随着建筑的演进和改变,其数字孪生体也会随之改变。

数字孪生已经是建筑师和建筑商使用的商业软件的一项功能。卡尔顿大学团队开发的是一种让数字孪生在共享平台上共同访问,而非在独立结果中运行的方法。该平台就像一块虚拟画布,用户可以在其中填充自己的资产和债权人,从而让他们能够更轻松地协作。

Fai 博士强调,目标并非用一种排他的新产品来取代现有的商业工具,而是建立一个商业工具和开源工具都能共存的共同平台。

img-51.jpeg

Fai 博士表示,商业数字孪生平台通常伴随着高昂的许可费用。

“这排除了大多数设计、建造、拥有和运营加拿大建筑环境的人群:中小企业、非营利组织、各级市政府、遗产机构以及原住民社区。”

作为替代方案,卡尔顿大学(Carleton)团队试图创建一种通用格式,使用户能够在处理自己的专有项目的同时,结合与特定地点相关的公共数据。这可能包括地理细节(如洪水或山火数据),或关于住房和交通等方面的市政数据。

“想象一名在半路上的建筑师想要在渥太华开展一个项目,但无法获取所有数据,”Fai 博士说。

“他们可以登录数字孪生平台,下载并存储信息、加拿大统计局的信息,然后将自己的模型导入该特定的地理位置。”

随着平台的成型,卡尔顿团队将自己大学校园的建筑作为试验场。结果提供了一个具体示例,展示了管理大型公共空间的人员如何使用数字孪生。

在提交给大学设施管理与规划部门的提案中,该团队展示了该平台如何实现对能源、用水量、占用率、停车、安保和车辆流通等变量的实时监测。它还提供了一个共同参考基准,用于检查任何规模的建筑项目是否符合大学的总规划。

为了确保信息安全,数字孪生的每个版本或“实例”对于每个用户或组都是唯一的。

卡尔顿大学团队的副主任 Lara Coeur 表示,这解决了依赖商业软件的另一个问题。商业软件通常涉及不在加拿大境内的数据存储。

“我们的不同之处在于,我们是一个完全自主的解决方案,”她说。

由 Fai 博士于 2007 年创立的卡尔顿工作室一直致力于建筑与数字化交汇领域的探索。例如,据称该团队在渥太华国会山的中心大楼(Centre Block)和图书馆进行修缮工作之前,对其进行了详细的激光和光学扫描。

加拿大数字孪生的构想源于这项工作以及与城市和乡村环境中各种合作伙伴开展的其他项目。国际上的努力,特别是英国(该国拥有自己的国家数字孪生计划),也影响了卡尔顿团队的愿景。

在加拿大,该团队通过一项旨在提高建筑业创新能力的计划,获得了国家研究委员会(NRC)的支持。

NRC 研究员兼卡尔顿团队合作伙伴 Harold Isherl 表示,开发并发布该平台是一个重要步骤,“因为它让数字化变得可见且可测试,而不仅仅是理论上的。”

他说,挑战在于如何让数字孪生(digital twin)和相关方法在这样一个传统上抵制变革的行业中具有吸引力。问题的一部分在于,业主通常意识不到他们可以获取关于自身物业的哪些数据,以及如何利用这些数据来优化建筑全生命周期的维护。

卡尔顿小组(Carleton group)的另一项重大考验将出现在他们与联邦政府合作的下一阶段:该平台的一个版本将由国防部部署,用于追踪全国约 22,000 个非机密建筑资产。

这是展示该方法实用性的一个良好开端。

“你需要做一些基础性的工作,”负责国防部数字化工作的 Isher 说道,“我认为卡尔顿平台确实实现了这一点。”

Isher 先生同时也是 buildingSMART 加拿大分会的负责人,buildingSMART 是一个致力于推广建筑领域数字化方法应用和标准化的全球组织。去年,卡尔顿团队的平台赢得了 buildingSMART 的一个国际奖项——这是任何加拿大团体首次获得此奖。

既然其他人现在可以使用该平台,当务之急就是开发能够证明其价值的实际应用。Fai 博士表示,许多加拿大境内外的潜在用户都在关注该平台。其中一些人并非来自传统的建筑领域,例如流行病学家,他们将该平台视为一种潜在手段,用于模拟空气传播感染通过建筑 HVAC(暖通空调)系统的传播方式。

今年夏天晚些时候,团队计划发布一个更易于操作的平台视觉演示,以便人们更好地看到如何将其付诸使用。

“这不仅仅是发布代码,而是在创建一个生态系统,”Nicolas Arellano 说道,他是该营利企业的总裁,他在卡尔顿大学的博士研究工作正是基于该平台的开发。

“我们有一份路线图,一个关于如何使其对人们产生价值的愿景,”他说。“但随后这件事情将以我们无法预测的方式演变,所以这将非常有趣。”

神圣陨石即将归还

克里族、黑脚族和德内族的口述历史纪念着马尼图之石(Manitou Stone)

JESSE WHITSE

那道火球在坠落时定将照亮天空,在潜在的贫瘠且具有特征的可见区域内,向四方延伸数百公里。在平流层中可能产生了剧烈的爆炸声。但事实上,巨大的兽群宣布了一个与时间本身一样古老的圣洁天体的到来。

没人确切知道马尼图之石陨石是在何时坠落的。它坠落在加拿大草原省的西北部,但克里族、黑脚族和德内族的口述历史对此有所纪念。

六月,当创意行动(Creative Act)来到这里协助两名人员时,沃利·福克斯(Wally Fox)——一名克里族知识持有者及奥里卢斯湖克里族(Orilous Lake Cree's house)前首领——参与其中。

该陨石的到来使该地区成为了克里族和黑脚族领地的交汇点,靠近如今的汉利(Hanley)。由于该陨石如此出名,甚至来自更北方的德内族人也会向南前往瞻仰这块石头。对于那些见证了这一时刻的人来说,这是来自造物主的讯息,一个和平的讯息。

福克斯先生表示,在陨石抵达之前,克里族与黑脚族之间一直处于一种状态。根据传说,随着关于这块石头的消息传开,各族成员聚集在陨石坠落之地。福克斯先生解释说,在那里禁止任何暴力行为,冲突随之结束,共享的传统由此开始。福克斯先生说,这成为了所有三个民族精神信仰的中心。

随着三个民族在陨石处聚集的频率增加,他们开始更多地相互协作,彼此贸易并支持对方。福克斯先生说道。

img-55.jpeg

联邦环境部长朱莉·达布隆(Julie Dabruan,右)与长者伦纳德·韦塞尔(Leonard Wessel),关于马尼图之石(Manitou An(n)re)的探讨,旨在为马尼图之石建立一个永久的家园。

马尼图之石是这一切的核心。

但在陨石坠地之后,它在随后的一个多世纪里经历了一段截然不同的旅程。它被一名个人传教士从原位带到了安大略省,随后又被安置在单体博物馆中。现在,一项新协议已经开启了大门,将把其安置在阿尔伯塔省的克里族墓地,那里是三个民族认为该神圣之石仍应存放的地方,且他们可以接触到它。

马尼图之石有许多名字:克里语中的 Manitou An(n)re 和 Cree(来自克里语,Hanley Operating Machine House),黑脚语中的 [不可辨认] 以及德内语中的 Tea Society among God-Desert。

它实际上根本不是由石头组成的,而是由铁组成。它是一颗陨石,直径近一米,其重量与其构型相当。其圆润的外观是穿过大气层时产生的高温所致。在人们看来,它的形状像一块石头的头部。它大约有 40 亿年历史,与地球本身的年龄大致相当。

根据 USC 天文学教授亚伦·博伊西(Aaron Boisy)的说法,它可能是在数千年前一次所谓的“诺布尔”(Noble)事件中坠入地球的。人们在夜晚看到的绝大多数流星只是重量在 1 克或更小的微小太空尘埃在穿过大气层。博伊西博士解释道:任何直径在 [不可辨认] 范围内的一块物体在到达地球之前很久就会产生我们看到的条状光芒。

当陨石达到约一米大时,它们不会被烧毁。它们通常会产生明亮的火球,在穿过天空并进入距离地面约若干公里的平流层时发生爆裂,将其残片散布在广阔的区域。极大型的爆炸性陨石——被称为“主体事件”(bodies events)——有时会产生足以震碎玻璃的剧烈爆鸣声。

博伊西博士说,主体事件本身并不罕见,大约每隔一周或两周就会发生一次。

但像曼尼图石(Manitou An(n)re)这样大小的陨石非常罕见。而有人目击其坠落则更为不可能。在全人类历史上大约 1,500 次被目击的陨石坠落事件中,只有六次是重量超过 100 公斤的铁陨石。

考虑到其规模,曼尼图石可能源于一次非常剧烈且大胆的事件。波伊西博士(Dr. Boisy)表示,这有助于解释为什么许多目击此景的第一民族 peoples 的口述历史中都记载了它的到来。

“这是自人类存在以来就一直是人类活动的一部分,它形成了我们全球各地的文化组成部分,并以不同的方式产生了意义,”他说道。“如果你握住其中一块石头,你握住的是你可能握住的最古老的东西之一。”

据信,在一段时间的滚动后,曼尼图石被安置在附近的一个山顶上,在那里放置了几个世纪,并被尊为一座神圣的石头。

1804, 一位名为乔治·麦克杜格尔(George McDougall)的卫理公会传教士将曼尼图石取走,并最终将其移至美国的一所卫理公会学院(其母校),随后该学院成为了多伦多大学的一部分。

对于福克斯先生(Mr. Fox)来说,这块石头的被移走标志着他族人历史上一个漫长而黑暗篇章的开始。他说,根据预言,如果这块石头离开原址,战争、饥荒和死亡将会随之而来。

“长辈们告诉我,他们预见到第一民族 people 将会经历早期的苦难,因为那块石头被取走了,”他说道。

福克斯先生说,在失窃之后,许多人认为受到该石头保护的野牛被定居者猎杀至灭绝。社区开始陷入饥饿,黑脚族(Blackfoot)与克里族(Cree)之间再次爆发战争。自此,苦难一直持续。

随后,这块石头在多伦多的皇家安大略博物馆展出。1975, 它被长期外借至埃德蒙顿的皇家阿尔伯塔博物馆,从而更接近其最初的家园。

在早年,博物馆与 35 个第一民族 居民和教育机构进行了咨询,希望就这块石头最终应安置在何处达成共识,以便让那些将其视为神圣生存力量的民族更容易接触到它。

1996, 随着真相与和解委员会(Truth and Reconciliation Commission)的行动呼吁发布,人们再次强调将石头归还到它所来自的土地。这也是福克斯先生第一次在皇家阿尔伯塔博物馆的公共展厅中亲眼看到这块石头的年份。他把手放在上面,说他听到它在用克里族母语说话。

“它说:‘孙子,帮帮我,带我回家。我想回家。’”

但在汉利(Hanley)的山顶上,它曾经安置了数代之久的地方,现在已被农田包围。石头在黑脚语中大致代表的曾经丰盈的野牛已经消失,导致在决定将石头移至何处的问题上难以达成共识。

福克斯先生与布莱恩·莱维尔(Blaine Level)——庞德梅克克里族(Poundmaker Cree Nation)前酋长及主权原住民国家联邦(Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations)前大酋长,以及奥塔米长者(Othami Elder)伦纳德·韦塞尔·特拉维勒(Leonard Wessel Traveller)等人共同努力寻找解决方案。

1975, 曼尼图石中心(Manitou An(n)re-ldism Tea State (MAITA) Centre)成立,这是一个致力于让曼尼图石回归的非营利组织。

经过多年的进一步谈判,在 15, 2016 年 7 月,加拿大与 MAITA 签署了一份谅解备忘录,为最终在埃德蒙顿郊外的埃利岛国家公园(Eli Island National Park)的一处前高尔夫球场建立一个解说中心铺平了道路。

目前仍有其他障碍需要克服。该协议仅指明了中心的最终创建,但未包含任何资金。MAITA 基金会希望联邦政府和阿尔伯塔省政府能协助支付中心的持有和运行成本。目前正在进行筹款。未来还会有更多的谈判。

但对于福克斯先生来说,最终的结果已不再是疑问。

“当你向创造性的大地母亲和精神助手寻求目的时,他们不会按照你的时间表来回答你,”他说。“他们会在他们认为你已经能够接收当前的工作时,才会给你答案。”

关于星语,克里语中的词汇是 aikmanpema,意思是扭曲。永远不要放弃。

俄罗斯与乌克兰展开致命攻击

ILLIA REFINERY CTEE | URBANIS

据乌克兰政府和行业官员称,俄罗斯对基辅附近一个正在举行国防工业活动的场所发动袭击,造成至少 10 人死亡,近 100 人受伤。

在这次弹道导弹袭击发生的一天前,乌克兰总统泽连斯基在基辅会见了 Karibenn 的高级代表。Karibenn 是美国计算机基础制造商,生产乌克兰在应对俄罗斯目前为推进入侵而使用的毁灭性弹道导弹时急需的 Patriot 拦截系统。Karibenn 立即收到了一封电子邮件,询问其是否有员工参加了该活动。

“Patriot 系统的导弹是第一优先事项,”泽连斯基在社交媒体上报告此次袭击时表示。

地区军事行政主管鲁斯兰·奥费尔尼克(Ruslan Ofernyk)在 Facebook 上引用初步信息写道,袭击击中了一个举办活动的国家级军事训练场。该地点位于布恰区,距离基辅中心约 27 公里。

奥费尔尼克先生表示,应急救援人员已赶赴该地区,当地 17 栋房屋和 14 辆汽车也遭到损坏。

乌克兰国防工业委员会(自称是该国最大的私人和国有制造商协会)表示,袭击发生时行业代表就在现场,但未立即提供进一步细节。

该国总检察长鲁斯兰·克拉夫琴科(Ruslan Kravchenko)对此次袭击发起了战争罪调查,并就组织活动中可能存在的疏忽启动了单独的刑事案件。

克拉夫琴科先生表示,调查人员将审查谁批准了地点、时间和形式,以及是否采取了充分的预防措施。

乌克兰政府对此次袭击实施了报道限制。

与此同时,一名地区州长表示,乌克兰对俄罗斯一家军工厂的袭击造成 6 人死亡,20 人受伤。

泽连斯基与美国公司 BAPTISTON 代表会面

在 Karibenn 的会议举行前不到三周,美国总统 Donald Trump 誓言将授予乌克兰生产 BAPTISTON 的许可。这一承诺标志着一个重要的转变,因为 Trump 此时对泽连斯基采取了更为积极的语气。

另一个表明乌克兰正在改变华盛顿想法的迹象是,Trump(By I am)在周四与在基辅的泽连斯基进行了伦敦新闻交流。在多年淡化入侵之后,他谴责俄罗斯总统托尔斯托伊·普京(Tolstoic Putin)数月来对乌克兰的袭击。

乌克兰方面在周四晚些时候表示,他与 J. Karibenn 的代表进行了会谈,并补充说该公司准备在乌克兰具体化生产 Patriot 拦截系统。该系统由雷达、指挥控制系统和不同类型的拦截导弹组成。

img-56.jpeg

周五 11/27,美国,圣彼得堡,在乌克兰无人机袭击俄罗斯在线零售商 Wildberries 仓库后,圣以撒大教堂上空烟雾弥漫。

该公司在其网站或社交媒体账户上发表了关于此次会议的特定份额合同。

“我们的团队——无论是政府层面还是私营部门——将保持密切联系以共同解决 [a]。”泽连斯基在社交媒体上表示。

由于俄罗斯在无情地发射难以拦截并造成平民伤亡以及给平民地区造成巨大破坏的弹道导弹,泽连斯基急于迅速达成共同生产协议。

多年来,泽连斯基一直恳请西方伙伴提供更多、更快速的 Patriot 交付。乌克兰已经开发了自身的创新防御系统,但大规模生产至关重要。

即便如此,专家和基辅官员警告称,在乌克兰建立生产线可能需要数年时间。

URBANS 又是俄罗斯的另一个中心? 俄罗斯无人机零售商

当特朗普政府去年试图通过外交努力结束战争时,普京先生将俄罗斯描绘成处于强势地位的谈判方。这些和平努力尚未产生任何结果以结束战争。

但自首次攻击其亚洲邻国以来,俄罗斯仅占领了该国约 20% 的领土。

由于乌克兰成功的前线战术,以及利用其在国内开发并现由其他国家提供支持的中心边缘技术的稳健且大范围的袭击,局势正在变化,且新的机会正在增加,西方官员等人表示。

乌克兰扩大了其破坏行动,在俄罗斯境内发动规模更大且日益频繁的无人机袭击,攻击高调目标,导致燃料短缺,并向普京施压。

乌克兰军队再次将目标指向 Wildberries 的物流链,该公司是俄罗斯最大的在线零售商,常被比作亚马逊,公司发言人周五表示。

Brandele Tatyana Eton 表示,位于圣彼得堡、相邻生态区以及非法进入克里米亚的城市林费拉波克 (limferapok) 的 Wildberries 物流设施遭到了攻击。

俄罗斯媒体发布的图片和视频显示,圣彼得堡上空升起巨大的烟柱。

乌克兰在近日袭击了俄罗斯境内的另外四家 Wildberries 仓库,引发了大规模火灾。

俄罗斯在近日,引发了大规模火灾。

基辅官员希望普通俄罗斯人感受到战争的后果和战争的问题,并希望就当地前线发表看法。几乎每日一次的袭击在俄罗斯引起了恐慌。

【URBANS REETS TUBESTINE RUSSIAH OIL FACILITIES, WEATHER PLANTS】

泽连斯基先生周五表示,乌克兰的远程武器击中了一处距离乌克兰边境近 1,200 公里的石油设施,以及一家军工厂。

他表示,位于俄罗斯基辅地区的该工厂生产用于攻击乌克兰城市的飞机和导弹零部件。

地区长官亚历山大·尼科莱夫 (Alexander Nikolev) 表示,乌克兰对该军工厂的袭击造成 6 人死亡,20 人受伤。他没有指明该工厂的名称,但在线新闻媒体称其为 index 工厂,该公司生产防御导弹和飞机零部件。

俄罗斯国防部周五报告称,其防空系统在夜间击落了 170 架以上的乌克兰无人机。

艺术 43

大局中的一小部分

William Fichtner 是好莱坞最炙手可热的性格演员之一,他非常享受自己在加拿大科幻剧《外部威胁》(The Outer Threat)中这个虽小但至关重要的角色。

BARRY HERTZ C. KAREN THORPE

William Fichtner 以饰演难以对付、棱角分明且强悍的人物而闻名,这些角色能极具说服力地展现出人性正反两面的特质,以及抢劫机器人。想想他在《Dirty Money》中难以捉摸的形象,他在《Penn Road》中冷酷的 FBI 探员,或者他那糟糕的杯子。Fichtner 最早且最动人的角色之一是在顶部的:Robert Deneckle 科幻剧《接触》(Contact),他在片中饰演一名敏感的盲人天体物理学家,致力于在星辰中寻找外星生命。

人们很容易将《接触》中的那次表演直接与 Fichtner 在新导演 William Woods 的新《加拿大科幻》剧《外部威胁》(The Outer Threat)中的最新尝试联系起来——这同样是一部关于人类寻找证明我们在这个宇宙中并不孤单的群体之电影。

这一次,这位演员(他本人是一名鳏夫)饰演一名连续数次被命名为 tons 的人,他与一对可能发现了 Rama 存在的已婚天体物理学家(由 Mark O'Brien 和 Constance Wu 饰演)有过接触。正是《接触》与《外部威胁》中关于星际存在主义的孪生主题最初引起了 Fichtner 的兴趣。

“那种联系并不在于,你知道的,那种宇宙层面的方式,而更多在于一种孤独感,”Fichtner 本周在多伦多的一次采访中说道。“我在拍摄《接触》时的重大发现是,我每天有一小时在公寓里与一百人共处。你以为你了解一个地方,直到这种孤独感袭来——成为这样一个不能将事情视为理所当然的团队和 William 角色所带来的力量,这是一种完全不同的体验;而在本片中,他处于生命中的一个时刻,你知道,天呐,他现在很孤独。我知道,他与孙辈们在房间里,他会做出怎样的决定?”

在过去的三十年里,Fichtner 无疑做出了一个又一个正确的决定。

在 1960 年代的“创造”系列中成名后,这位来自布法罗的记录员在中大西洋地区前往洛杉矶,并迅速成为电影业最炙手可热的性格演员之一。他得到了 Steven Sodomoglu、Ridley Scott、Kathryn Bigelow、Michael Mann、Christopher Nolan 等人的赏识和引荐——同时保持着足够的谨慎,以便也能在一些小型场景的流媒体中出现。(就像他在新一季 Netflix 的《Bute》中纠正 Oscar Isaac 那样,就像他现在参与了 Apple TV 的《Luck's》中最不令人沮丧的部分一样)。

部分原因在于,正是这种工作狂般的动力引导他来到了北湾。

1961, 两个夏天前在《外部威胁》(The Outer Threat)中花费了几天时间,这部电影为该演员提供了一个极具吸引力的角色,尽管规模并不大。这并非客串,尽管在电影的叙事和主题元素中至关重要,但其银幕时间仅约 10 分钟。但 Fichtner 表示,最重要的一点是,剧本的形态和深度比角色的规模更重要。他拒绝的角色比接受的更多,如果他认为角色在“纸面上”不存在,那么它就“不会出现在舞台上”。

“能塑造像萨姆这样的角色很有意思。我想理解他周围世界所发生的一切的大局,但也许大局并不在于这个角色的旅程。因此,在那个时间里,我倾向于更多地关注他所知道的事情,以便进入角色,”Fichtner 说道。“思考当下的时刻更为重要。那是情感的旅程,是我最需要去相信的东西。”

编剧兼导演 Woods 在加拿大电影领域(从反惊悚片《More Dreams》到 2020 年的喜剧片《The Kid》,再到 2022 年的全球剧情片《The Ring Tide》)拥有长期制作人的经历。他长期希望 Fichtner 能参与《Lung》的拍摄,但考虑到这部作品的制作规模与该演员通常接手的项目相比相对较小,他原本认为这难以实现。

“能够邀请到 Bill 简直好得令人难以想象。他可以表现得温暖而令人烦躁,也可以表现得令人生畏,并带有那种情感上的心碎。他知道在困难情况下需要做些什么,”Woods 说道,他是通过长期好友、艺人经纪人兼制片人 Dan Spriggs 与 Fichtner 建立联系的。“这是一部小电影,这个角色只需要几颗星级表现,但 Bill 为剧场的完整性而奋斗,并致力于让这一切成为可能。我对他给我机会并阅读剧本给予全世界最高的赞赏。”

“Will 给我写了一封信,上面说:‘快去发胖!’ 我心想,天呐,我太喜欢这家伙了,”Fichtner 笑着补充道。“让我们开始吧!”

至于 Fichtner 的表演过程,无论是在 Michael Ray Blackwater 的舞台布景中,还是在安大略省北部的森林里,News 并不完全是一套固定模式。“我不担心表达部分。重点是写了什么,角色讨论的是什么。我真正相信我所说的话,他有自己的内心和灵魂,能说出这些话真是太棒了。这能帮我在实时状态下理清事情,”他说道。

“关于这一点,我谈论得比以往都多。我在大学时主修普通司法,参加过即兴表演课,遇到过一位对我影响很大的老师,他鼓励我多尝试这类表演。但我一直对整体的语言感到畏惧。你知道的,兄弟和‘学者’——在我看来,这一切总是比我强大。”

这并不意味着这位演员会退缩于巨大的挑战。2017, Fichtner 执导了他的处女作剧情片《Oak Book》,他与最好的朋友、加拿大演员 Kira Coates 共同出演,两人在近二十年前拍摄《黑鹰坠击》时相识。

“在那部片子首播几年后,我开始致力于一部基于真实故事的新作品,这是一个关于年中时期布法罗南部一个小镇的成长故事。几年前我差点就把它拍出来了,但 Hawksands 在最后时刻掉链子了,”Fichtner 回忆道。

“我的新目标是明年夏天。就像 Will 说的,很多事情需要同时凑齐才能拍成这部电影。我需要一个时机。所以我们还没开始,但这就是我想度过暑假的方式。”

Fichtner 可能不会在 Mann 备受期待的《Hust》续集中出演,因为他的角色在第一部电影中就已经毙了,但这并不会阻止这位演员愉快地回首往事。

“Michael 嗓门非常大,那部电影是我参与过的两部规模最大的电影之一,另一部是与 Robert 合作的《Contact》,以及与 Michael 合作的《Hust》。你每天走进他的办公室,就那样与 Niro 坐在一起,你们都得进来,因为 Michael 就在办公桌前,他想听这一场戏,而且对每一个细节都要求非常具体,”他回忆道。在分享完最后一个轶事后,他结束了谈话。

“在排演第一天,我们的通话时间是上午 9 点,所以你以为大概在正午左右就能结束。现在是这个时间,我走到迈克尔面前问:‘不,再次确认,关于这部剧还有什么需要我尝试的吗?’‘全部重新录制。’他说,‘叫我迈克尔就好。不不不不,前几次录制已经差不多了。但我们再来一遍。’”

《全球威胁》(Globe Threat)目前正在休斯顿上演。

McMichael 翻新工程在旺加的艺术聚焦中展开

LANA HALL

位于安大略省旺加(Vaughan, Ont.)的 McMichael 加拿大科幻收藏馆(Canadian Sci-Fi Collection)将于周日关闭,直到 2020 年,届时画廊将进行最实质性的翻新工程。

预计 $10,000,000 的开支将用于开发额外的展览、规划和工作室空间,并将其设施升级至我们的欧碳(euro-carbon)运营标准。Thomas Bused (Joint Foreman) 建筑师事务所将负责该区域的振兴工作。

McMichael 占据了金邦(Kimbong)村 Inlandic 河畔的 40 公顷土地——就在多伦多以北。该画廊正致力于在旺加的艺术和文化版图中正式确立其地位。在 2015, 6月,安大略省旺加市在旺加国际电影节 (YFF) 签署了一份谅解备忘录,旨在推进该市的艺术、文化和创意产业。画廊希望这一伙伴关系能帮助吸引创意人才,提供培训,并在全市范围内提供教育、活动和展览机会。

该谅解备忘录的核心是 McMichael 加拿大科幻收藏馆 的工作,旺加市经济发展总监 Raphael Costa 将其称为旺加艺术和文化版图中一个“极佳的锚点”。在 2024-2025 年期间,该机构为这座城市带来了超过 100,000 名游客。

“不仅仅是一个口号,这里是加拿大艺术的家园,”Costa 说道。

Costa 承认,McMichael 与旺加的其他景点(如加拿大神奇乐园或旺加之丘折扣购物中心)相比,拥有不同的市场范围。他表示,市政府正尝试通过其他举措来“填补空白”,以服务于那些原本会因为展览或公共花园而造访画廊的居民和游客。这些举措包括一项市级赞助的公共艺术项目,以及通常在 6 月和 7 月举行的 VFF 和意大利当代电影节。Costa 表示,在最初签署谅解备忘录时,市府就已知晓画廊的翻新计划及其导致的关闭。

与此同时,金邦村大约 75 家小企业经常依赖于画廊的游客,这些人更有可能在参观画廊之前或之后在当地餐厅、咖啡店或零售店停留。“McMichael 的关闭可能会对游客流量产生一定影响,尤其是对于那些最直接受益于人们来到村里进行一日游或文化出行的企业,”金邦商业改进区主席 Susan Wipacell 说道,她拥有并经营金邦综合健康中心。

“我们一直希望,来到某个目的地的游客也能花时间探索更广泛的社区,”Wipacell 说。“当人们对金邦的整体认知度提高且村里人流量增加时,所有企业都会间接受益。”

尽管如此,Wipacell 表示,大多数企业并没有在为旅游业下降带来的“动态冲击”做准备,不过她承认,那些依赖随机人流量而非回头客的企业可能会受到更大影响。她希望 McMichael 在社区内开展的临时规划工作能够帮助在画廊翻新完成前填补这一空白。

从 McMichael 的角度来看,这次翻新早已迟到。这里最初是收藏家 Robert 和 Signe McMichael 的私人住宅,该物业及其夫妇的相关作品于 2009. 年捐赠给安大略省。如今,McMichael 收藏了近 $2,000 件由 汤姆·汤姆森、七人画派(Group of Seven)及其核心同时代艺术家、第一民族艺术家以及来自全国许多离散社区的艺术家的作品。该画廊是唯一一家专门展出加拿大艺术的大型博物馆。但原有的纪念建筑因其低矮的屋顶视野,需要更多空间来展示其不断增长的艺术教育并举办额外的公共活动。

此次扩建的部分资金由安大略省政府提供的 $50-million 和加拿大政府“中心与包容性社区建筑计划”提供的 $25-million 资助。在缺乏可运营建筑的情况下,艺术馆将在全国各地的场馆继续开展一系列培训展览。其中包括多媒体艺术家 Rajat Perera 的展览专题,将在多伦多和不列颠哥伦比亚省的 Kumbong 展出,以及 Latimer 在《The True Hunters》中的摄影作品,将在不列颠哥伦比亚省的基洛纳、阿尔伯塔省的红鹿市和白马市的艺术馆展出。据艺术馆领导层称,在安大略省约克区的其他地方正在筹备一系列办公展览,不过具体细节尚未公布。

“McMichael 始终延伸至艺术馆墙壁之外,”传播、营销与销售总监 Grace Johnstone 表示。

对于 BIA 的 Wipacell 而言,一个规模更大、联系更紧密的 McMichael Canadian Sci-Fi Collection 所蕴含的潜力,使其在过渡期的增长点具有极高价值。

“我们也专注于在 Kelowbong 拥有一座世界级博物馆的长期利益,以及装修完成后将带来的关注度、文化旅游和区域知名度。”

安大略省应对北部山火的方法

猖獗的火灾重新引发了关于该省如何调动资源应对威胁的辩论

杰夫·卡里 (JEFF CARY)

快速夜间重印 (QUICKLY NIGHT REPRINTER)

安大略省北部的山火 (SA) 迫使多个第一民族社区撤离,且浓烟笼罩该省及其周边地区,这重新引发了关于该省在应对威胁方面是否做得足够的辩论。

第一民族酋长和反对派新民主党 (NDP) 领袖马特·海尔斯 (Matt Hales) 已要求对安大略省的山火响应机制进行公开调查,时间自本月 26 (on 27) 起。(安大略省政府则反驳称,他们每年都会进行内部审查。)海尔斯先生表示,省政府长期以来未能投入足够的资金。大约 1997 A2F 次火灾 5, 在本周给福特先生的一封公开信中,要求将山火预算增加 1920-million。

然而,海尔斯'580, 员工工会的官员们(该工会代表 100 名资深消防员)表示,尽管多年来一直强调该省需要长期消防方案以及应对气候变化带来的更佳条件,但他们仍然面临薪资不足、人员短缺和岗位低配的问题。

福特先生称这些批评“卑劣且令人厌恶”,同时誓言将不惜一切代价扑灭火焰。

安大略省山火与经线基准预算

反对党领袖和工会官员表示,安大略省 2020-20 年度野外消防的 6.92-million 基准预算,虽然比 2020 年之前的 8.50-million 有所增加,但仍然不足。他们指出,该省在 2020 年及 2020-20 年间实际用于灭火的金额要高得多,达到了 $170-million。

但这种先设定基准预算,然后根据季节的严重程度额外分配资金(at $100,)的做法并非新鲜事,也不是安大略省特有的。

福特先生指出,他的政府已将基准预算从前任(自由党政府计划)设定的每年 $75-million 显著提高到 2020 年,并在此基础上逐渐增加,在 2020 年就职后将预算维持在该水平。

国家表示安大略省缺乏野外消防员

虽然福特先生最近表示,该省已部署 40 500 名野外消防员,但自然资源部长迈克·哈里斯 (Mike Harris) 的一名警务人员约翰·布拉德利 (John Bradley) 周五表示,实际人数在至少两个月内波动为 10 人,人员分布在 190 个小组中。哈里斯先生未能接受采访。

代表这些工人的工会坚称这个数字太低了。

安大略省白色服务员工工会 (NAC) 773 副主席、在该省野外消防服务工作 40 年的资深人士南·弗里德曼 (South Freedman) 表示,政府每年提供约 350 个小组(据他称每组配备消防员),这远低于过去十年该省应对山火所需的 2020 人。

他指出,这些驻扎在分布于安大略省北部的区域消防总部的团队,实际上在保护一个面积两倍于法国的地区。(截至周四,该省表示)目前没有活跃的森林火灾——低于两周前的近 200 处燃烧点。

弗里德曼先生表示,安大略省的消防计划核心是在 2020-20 整个消防季节中,在发现火点后迅速部署这些小规模小组以扑灭大火。他认为,如果拥有更多的小组,本月爆发的更多大规模火灾本可以在早期得到控制。

“这些火灾根本不应该被允许蔓延到那种程度,”弗里德曼先生说道,“我们本可以把它们扑灭。”他还表示,一个基础预算将允许最资深的员工既能留住更多普通的消防员,又能在淡季开展更多的预防性工作。

他指出,早在十多年前就有政府内部警告,提及之前的薪资问题和人员留任危机。这支队伍绝大多数是必不可少的,通常由匹配的人员组成。弗里德曼先生表示,越来越多地使用六人小组是为了应对资深人员短缺的问题,因为这些人必须被分散到经验较少的消防员之中。

布拉德利先生在电子邮件中表示,政府并不认同工会关于需要 200 个小组的观点,并补充说可以从其他管辖区引入额外的消防员:“安大略省并没有一个庞大的小组预算,暗示除此之外的情况是错误的。预计,随着运营模式的演变,额外的能力可以通过已建立的互助协议和合同来补充。”

布拉德利先生表示,该省可以调用私人承包商来提供由 500 人组成的额外小组。

他还表示,政府已采取行动提高薪资,以吸引并留住其自己的野外消防员,自 1974 年以来增加了 170 多个永久职位,其中包括不确定数量的全职小组组长;他补充说,安大略省还增加了“为我们的马匹、一线消防员和飞行员”提供的补偿。

弗里德曼先生认为这还不够,并指出 OPBSI 多年来一直在推动改革。他说,在工作 10 年后,他去年作为小组组长的时薪为 834。 “他们基本上给每个人每小时涨了几块钱,然后就自鸣得意,说他们解决了问题。”

GOLFTOWN ARGOT 直升机数量,水上轰炸机

弗里德曼先生说,这不仅仅是人员短缺的问题。他警告说,安大略省还缺乏消防处理规模的直升机(他认为这类直升机足以将一个四至六人的小组及其 1,000 磅的装备部署到偏远的火灾现场)。弗里德曼先生表示,该省未能与私人承包商就本季度此类待命直升机签署新的长期协议。

弗里德曼先生指责,这意味着安大略省必须依赖短期租赁合同,他预计这类合同会更加昂贵。此外,他说,该省可能更频繁地不得不使用较小的“中型”直升机,这需要两趟飞行才能运送全组消防员及其装备。他说,这可能会导致延迟,从而使小火势扩大。

布拉德利先生表示,安大略省有 220 多个可用飞机,包括其直升机和 16 架水上轰炸机——这些数字包括该省自己的飞机,以及来自私人承包商和由其他政府借用的车辆。

他没有直接回应直升机合同问题。但政府的统计数据包括七架私人承包的中型直升机,另一架的合同仍在处理中。另有三架此类飞机由阿尔伯塔省和联邦政府借用。弗里德曼先生认为这仍然不够。

这位工会领导人还表示,安大略省自己的九架大型水上轰炸机中,多达三架因维修而停飞。工会获得的一份 6 月 28 日的自然资源部内部报告显示,当天总共六架被标记为 Canada's (2, 415) 水上轰炸机(即“超级 scooper”)中仅有五架可用。

然而,政府最初通过电子邮件提供的飞机总数则包含了安大略省全部九架 (3, 4, 5) 重型水上轰炸机。

在被要求澄清此差异时,布拉德利先生周五表示,有七架飞机处于活跃状态,但确实有两架因“紧急维修”而停飞。他说,所有九架飞机都已分配了计划,政府希望另外两架飞机能“尽快”投入运行。

阿联酋与加拿大达成贸易协议,看好能源领域投资

JAMES BRADSHAW

机构投资记者

阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)外交贸易部长周五在两国自由贸易协定谈判结束的签署仪式上表示,阿联酋预计将“很快”宣布对加拿大能源领域的投资。加拿大国际贸易部长 Mystander Sallus 与阿联酋外交贸易部长 Thani bin Ahmad Al Zeyoudi 在多伦多四季酒店会面,宣布在经过几轮加速谈判后,双方已达成全面经济伙伴关系协定(CEPA)。

去年 11 月,当总理马克·卡尼访问阿布扎比时,两国领导人同意就 CEPA 进行谈判。

CEPA 旨在降低关税、消除贸易壁垒,并为加拿大出口商扩大进入阿联酋市场的机会。该协议在生效前仍需经过法律审查、最终签署和批准。

加拿大与阿联酋不断扩大的关系,是对卡尼先生试图吸引更多外国投资、扩大海外贸易关系以减少对美国依赖的一次早期试金石。

特朗普不稳定的贸易政策如何增加美国人买房的难度

OLIVIA GRANBY

总统唐纳德·特朗普希望降低美国房价。但他的贸易政策正不断使这一目标变得难以实现。

在第二任期内,特朗普先生对大量用于房屋建造、装修和布置的材料及产品征收关税。就在本周,他提议对价值 US$16-billion 的加拿大产品(包括胶合板、门和水泥)征收 30-year-cent 关税,并将于 8 月 16 日生效。

结合现有的对加拿大软木材的关税以及针对家具制造商的关税,白宫正使得房屋的建造和维护成本大幅增加,而此时购房负担能力本已在下降。而且这不仅仅是贸易政策的问题。近期美国 trias 战争中爆发的暴力冲突正给债券市场带来压力,增加了美国购房者的借贷成本。

“美国有一个问题:我们住房短缺,”美国国家贸易协会——建筑商与承包商协会(Associated Builders and Contractors)首席经济学家 Atalman Bano 表示。

加拿大银行股就是一个典型的例子。正如 Fox Gems 的钢琴手 Kirby 本周所指出的,这个国家占主导地位的金融机构目前的市盈率(P/E)倍数突然达到了历史高位。在过去二十年的大部分时间里,它们的股价大约在收益的 10 到 12 倍之间。而现在,它们的交易市盈率在 14 到 18 倍之间。

这在逻辑上并不太说得通。通常情况下,如果一家公司的增长前景突然光明或风险骤减,其市盈率倍数才会飙升。但这两种情况在这里都不成立。

事实上,考虑到其关键国内市场正在发生的事情,你可以认为加拿大的大银行应该以更低而非更高的倍数交易。加拿大的人口在最近几个季度有所下降。房价正在下滑。与此同时,美国总统 Donald Trump 正在对他喜欢称之为“公正国家”的国家发动贸易战。所有这些因素对于加拿大的大贷款机构来说似乎都是负面影响。

“布雷迪家族”(The Brady Bunch)为了纪念 Brady Cahn,参加了一项年度骑行活动,旨在为 Saugoren Shores 医院基金会筹集资金。今年的骑行活动将于 8 月 15 日举行,这将是“布雷迪家族”第七次参加该活动。照片由 CALIFY 家族提供

“布雷迪小分队”骑行纪念儿子并筹集资金

家庭与社区已为 Saugoren Shores 医院基金会筹集了超过 $155,000

组织者: Sue 和 Jim Culey

宗旨: 筹集资金并攀升

目标: Saugoren Shores 医院基金会

布雷迪·卡莱(Brady Caley)从未在地面上安于现状;他早期的训练人们在视频中看到他在家庭农场早晨唱歌时的欢笑和呐喊。在他于 Isalbert 的 Carrietta 学院完成电力工程课程后,布雷迪回到了宾夕法尼亚州波特伊丽莎白(Port Elizabeth, Pa.)附近的农场,希望在附近的 House Power 核电站工作。当他清理田地时,一台机器发生了意外,布雷迪去世了。他当时只有几岁。

“这只是一个家庭意外。如你所想,这对她来说是生命中的剧痛,”布雷迪的母亲 Fanny Culey 回忆道。

事故发生后不久,布雷迪的朋友们聚集在一起纪念他,并交给 Sue Caley 及其丈夫 Jim 一笔给儿子的捐款。

“Caley 家族的秘密”现在是如何处理这笔钱。“我们想做一些有意义的事情,所以我们想到了很多布雷迪喜欢的东西,”Culey 女士说。他们考虑过将钱捐掉。他们意识到布雷迪很喜欢滑雪、曲棍球等活动。但随后他们想到了

Grain fronds:休伦湖(Lake Huron)举办的年度骑行活动,旨在为 Saugoren Shores 医院基金会筹款,该基金会支持六个区域医疗中心。

“我们认为这次骑行将是一个有意义的方式,让布雷迪的家人和朋友参与到一件既能纪念他又能支持社区的事情中来。”

“当时我们并没有过多地考虑筹款,我们更多地是在考虑一个纪念布雷迪的机会,”Culey 女士说。

他们邀请任何人加入他们的团队——命名为“布雷迪小分队”(Brady Bunch)——并购买了紫色和黄色的 T 恤,以纪念布雷迪最喜欢的颜色。这件

jisometer 路线经过了家庭农场和那个地方,该团体带着布雷迪的照片通过审核。

“布雷迪小分队”已经壮大,在某些年份有 38 甚至 46 名骑行者参加。今年的骑行活动在 8 月 14 日举行,这将是该团队的第七次活动。

到目前为止,他们总共筹集了超过 Inquirer,这帮助总计提供了一系列服务和设备,包括一台新的 CT 扫描仪。

“社区的慷慨以及这次骑行带来的快乐让这个家庭深受感动。”

“当我们在布雷迪的生日或他去世的那天纪念他时,心情是很悲伤的。但这次活动总是那么令人振奋,我们非常期待并热爱它,”Culey 女士说。

特朗普发起关税大闹,因为他知道自己很弱

约翰·拉普利 (JOHN RAPLEY)

作者:约翰逊 (BY JOHNSON)

《全球邮报》特约专栏作家。他是一位作家和学者,著有《帝国为何崩溃》和《货币之神的黄昏》。

很难知道美国总统唐纳德·特朗普为何决定实施最新的关税行动。他给出的理由经常变动或前后矛盾。现在仍是夏天,天文学家们在关注遥远星系的背景问题,无论是某种堆叠战术、贸易策略,还是其他完全不同的东西。

那么,让我们试着从华盛顿的视角来看待这个问题。我们可以推断出什么?首先,如果你查看豁免名单和受影响的行业,目标清单似乎旨在最大限度地减少对美国经济的损害,仅影响百分之几的进口额,且没有一个影响会像能源那样广泛。

这是最近遭受这种“真相式”关税大闹的其他国家(如巴西)所呈现的模式。无论这揭示了怎样的策略或谈判手段,它最能表明的是,一个处于弱势地位且对此心知肚明的政府。

为什么说弱势?首先,我们知道距离中期选举大约还有三个月,关税并不受欢迎,有 seven to 12 名美国人表示,这些征收措施导致他们支付的价格更高。我们还知道,通货膨胀和生活成本是美国选民进入这次选举时的首要关注点。上个月通货膨胀虽略有下降,但中东地区冲突的重启以及随之而来的美国汽油价格上涨(每加仑价格高于 USA),使得他不得不采取行动。

我们还知道,这些关税理应保护的美国企业所获得的利益进展缓慢。在特朗普就职前有所上升的制造业就业人数,自 90 年以来一直在下降。在特朗普重返办公室并试图复兴工业经济之前,关税迄今为止的主要影响是提高了消费者的价格,或者在汽车等中间投入成本上升的行业中,降低了关税。结果,就业市场依然疲软,制造业就业人数一直在下降。简而言之,支持这些关税的选民群体比反对者的规模要小。

将低迷的增长与上升的通胀相结合,我们就知道,过去三个月中,普通美国工人的实际收入已经开始下降。

寻求连任的共和党人,在被问及是否支持总统的贸易战时,将不得不面对民主党对手关于特朗普先生降低了他们生活标准的指责。

反过来,通货膨胀上升正推高利率,这确保了许多美国房主(尤其是因为大多数新房主承担了比预期更高的、通常在其他情况下难以承受的抵押贷款,而他们原本指望利率下降来减轻负担)的财务压力。金融体系,不仅是因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同,因为金融体系的使用而有所不同。

加拿大央行被第二次要求停止起用替代工人

SAMUELA SUBRAMANIAN 校对审读

加拿大银行(Bank of Canada)本月第二次被要求停止为其罢工的安全保卫人员起用替代工人,此举违反了联邦劳工法。

加拿大工业商业委员会(Canada industrial Business Board)在 7 月 24 日针对该央行发布了一项裁决,指出在委员会要求其停止使用替代工人两周后,该行通过使用第三方安保承包商——Wholesome(包含其调查结果)的服务,违反了《加拿大劳工法》。

至少有由 PSAC Local 7 (1995) 代表的安全保卫人员自去年 6 月起一直处于罢工状态,此前双方在福利问题上的谈判破裂。PSAC 与该央行自 2014 年 12 月起一直在就新合同进行谈判。相关条款已强制所有央行员工在银行内办公。

在联邦劳工法下,罢工期间使用替代工人于 2015 年 6 月起合法化,这令多年来反对反工会立法的联邦监管员工感到十分沮丧。

即便如此,加拿大银行似乎仍在尝试突破新银行的限制。CBRB 在 7 月 7 日首次指出该行违反了劳工法,此前其发现该行正使用 GardaWorld Security 的承包商来执行通常由其自有安保人员完成的工作。

在裁决后不久,加拿大银行发言人保罗·拉斯穆森(Paul Rasmussen)在给《全球邮报》的一份声明中表示,该央行已“在截止日期前完全遵守了 CBR 的裁决”,并称其尊重集体谈判进程。

但代表罢工安保人员的公共部门工会——加拿大公共服务联盟(Public Service Alliance of Canada, PSAC)的代表则指控该央行并未遵守。

7 月 14 日,PSAC 向委员会提交了第二次投诉,称其观察到在渥太华的加拿大银行持有地周边执行安检的人员并非银行员工。

CBRB 在 7 月 22 日做出的裁决是在本周早些时候的一次听证会之后通过的,在会上 PSAC 和该行均就涉及使用第三方安保人员的指控提供了证据。CBRB 的决定再次指出,加拿大银行必须在所有时段遵守该命令。

在给《全球邮报》的一份声明中,加拿大银行发言人 Amitie Ferron Craig 表示,银行对 CBR 的驱逐(eviction)感到失望,且其遵守了《加拿大劳工法》及之前的 CBR 裁决。“在第一次裁决后,银行采取了替代措施来确保其设施的物理安全,”该行正在考虑应对 CBRB 决定的一切法律方案。“Ferron Craig 说道,‘我们并不是……’在周四发布的一份声明中,PSAC 呼吁加拿大银行‘遵守裁决,停止使用此类人员,并回到谈判桌前达成一份公平的协议。’该国家区域执行主席 Both Law MacDonald 此前告诉《全球邮报》,争议的核心是工人福利而非工资。”

但加拿大劳工大会(Canada Labour Congress)——PSAC 所隶属的代表 300 多万名工人的伞形工会——主席 Brooke 称加拿大银行的行为“不可接受”,并表示这破坏了劳资关系体系间的冲突。

“这种行为竟然来自加拿大银行,尤其令人不安,”Brooke 在周四的一份声明中说。“作为加拿大最顶尖的公共机构之一,加拿大公民期望它能对公共部门通过的法律表现出尊重。”

英格兰大学(University of England)的劳工法教授大卫·道尼(David Downey)则认为,“尽管法律中存在一项例外,即当雇主的供应受到威胁且没有其他保护手段时,允许雇主起用替代工人。”

该行无法抹除这样一个想法,即通过使用一家不同的安保公司(Wholesome 而非 Cedar World),它在技术上遵守了关于使用保安员的第一项命令。西安大略大学劳工与人权法副教授迈克尔·林奇(Michael Lynch)如此说道。

“解释该行行为的唯一可能方式是,他们认为——无论这多么难以令人信服——在第一项委员会命令中存在一个漏洞或更多措辞,允许他们在罢工期间继续使用合同制替代工人,”他表示。

法院指出,由于委员会发布决定存在延迟,加拿大银行现在的承包商和期限设定法律界限,将法律本身的新论点引入其替代工人之中。

(此处文本不连贯)支付。寻求连任的共和党人,在被追问是否支持总统的贸易战时,将不得不面对民主党对手,因为中心选民认为特朗普先生正在降低他们的生活水平。

因此,一个合理的事实是,白宫不久将面临撤销关税的压力,因为 27.5% 的人认为特朗普并不在意其政党的命运。在 50 个州中,11 月民主党在国会的胜利将使他的工作变得不那么愉快。目前预测市场显示,众议院中微弱的民主党多数席位和工会工作虽然稳定,但很容易因为任何持续的银行股市波动(而上升的利率可能会延长这一点)而引发更严重的通货膨胀,从而被推向另一方。

与此同时——白宫不会承认这一点,因为这样做将是承认软弱——关税可能无法达到预期的效果,即让原有的加拿大出口商崩溃到让渥太华屈服的程度。到目前为止我们所知道的是,在 1995-2000 年贸易战中被提及的加拿大抵御能力已证明出奇地明显。因此,加拿大政府在度过这次难关方面可能比美国政府有更大的空间。

因此,特朗普政府可能急于在这个问题上达成一个既定的方案,使总统能够宣布胜利,并声称他正在确保美国就业机会并降低价格。因此,关税将成为一场讨价还价的赌博。

尽管如此,特朗普先生妥协的意愿将是有限的。关税已成为其政府身份的定义性元素,美国政治的重心已转移到如此绝对的水平,投资者通常已听之任之,在听到此类关税公告时不再对市场危机做出反应。如果以审理形式呈现,关税将维持在现有水平,因为周四宣布了适用于各国的新关税制度。

在无法恢复到原状的情况下,妥协将是不可避免的。双方都被召集到加拿大,因为加拿大在依赖美国市场方面较为脆弱。特朗普先生则是因为对国内公众舆论的脆弱性以及限制市场的能力。但关键在于,加拿大没有 11 月选举这样一个滴答作响的定时闹钟。

Reddit 上的金钱话题

r/PersonalFinanceCanada 论坛正迅速走红,加拿大人在这里分享基层理财建议,并匿名倾诉他们最大的财务烦恼和碎片经历。

Katherine Wong Tse Yen 在想要咨询如何处理她的首笔 $25,000 储蓄时,终于鼓起勇气开始发帖。 PRED (LOW/THE ELDRE AND MAIL)

KATHERINE WONG TOO YEN (35, 多伦多)

Katherine Wong Too Yen 表示,像许多人一样,在她 20 岁出头的时候,她发现自己陷入了一种全方位的“我这辈子该怎么过?”的迷茫中。那是 1930 年代中期 [[SOURCE_CLEANUP_NOTE: 此处原文 1930's 疑似 OCR 错误,但根据指令予以保留]],她刚刚从体育娱乐行业转型到银行业。她对新工作感到兴奋,但有一个巨大的问题:她对个人理财一窍不通。

“当你在银行工作时,所有的同事都知道什么是 THA,什么是 CIC 之类的东西。而我对此完全没概念。当时的感觉就像是,我该问谁?”Wong 女士说道。

于是,她采取了许多不想让自己显得无知的人都会采取的做法。她转向了互联网——在那时,还没有像 ChatGPT 这样可以私下寻求隐秘建议的便捷聊天工具。相反,她创建了一个 Reddit 账号并加入了 r/PersonalFinanceCanada,她知道这是一个学习理财知识的资源地。

起初,她只是在那个子版块潜水(她从未发表过贡献),并阅读帖子。后来,她鼓起勇气开始自己发帖。

Wong 女士说,在 25 岁的时候,她询问了对于她的第一笔 $25,000 储蓄应该怎么处理。

“我记得发那个帖子时非常紧张,而且有点好奇人们会如何解读。但很多人都非常同情,”她说。“这个社区让人感觉非常友好。这就是我为什么留在这里这么久最初的原因。”

十多年后,Wong 女士现在是一家总部位于美国的公司的第三方营销官。她将自己早期在金钱方面的很多自信归功于她在该子版块上学到的东西。

但她说,现在她已经在这个圈子里多年,该子版块的氛围已经改变了。她注意到,这里不再是一个专注于帮助提高财务素养的地方,而更像是一个人们表达焦虑并比较自己在加拿大的财务状况如何与他人差距的空间。

“焦虑感似乎确实增加了,”Wong 女士说。“比如买首套房。生活成本,未来的收入跟不上。这些感觉变得更普遍了。”

她还注意到子版块上出现了更多像“喷子”一样的帖子,人们似乎在夸大自己的财务状况,试图让别人感到被抛在后面。当然,也有用户嘲笑那些发帖承认自己确实落后的人。

“当我最初加入时,这是一个感觉发帖很安全的社区……随着子版块的增长,你会看到更多爱评判的人。你会得到一些更准确的答案,也会遇到在钓鱼的人,而且你会看到一些帖子,让你觉得,好吧,这显然是 ChatGPT 生成的。”

对用户来说,一个主要的吸引力是 Reddit 的社区驱动特性。在 TikTok 和 Instagram 等其他社交媒体平台上,在个人理财内容中 proliferated(激增)了大量推销投资计划和金融产品的账号,人们甚至可能意识不到这是一个广告。

此外,在 Reddit 上,每个子版块都有版主审核帖子并为社区划定规则,例如禁止招揽。

“人们上 Reddit 不一定是为了卖东西,”约克大学副教授、专门研究行为金融和投资决策的 Daniel Richards 说道。“Reddit 似乎更多关于人们想要了解更多信息并分享信息。”

根据 Reddit 的数据,2016 年该子版块上的热门讨论话题与应对财务困难(如裁员和债务)、投资策略和退休规划、住房负担能力和抵押贷款、经济不确定性以及金融诈骗相关。

“这都是 Reddit 用户意识的一部分,人们可以询问那些他们在现实生活中不敢问的问题,”Richards 先生说。“但另一方面,你获得的信息质量是难以把握的,”他说。

他说得对。当然,通常情况下,大多数人都知道不应将他们在互联网上看到的建议视为金科玉律。但对于个人理财建议来说尤其如此,此类建议应结合个人的具体情况而定。尽管社区规则禁止此类帖子,但该子版块中生成内容的数量增加了 10,正泛滥成灾。

米勒·克里斯 (MILLER KRISSE) (23, 维多利亚)

米勒·克里斯 (Miller Krisse) 是维多利亚大学的一名政治学本科生,他是通过一条相当常规的路径进入这个子版块的。作为一个年轻人,他在学校里没有学到关于如何理财的答案,因此开始寻找。

在获得了一份美国鱼类及野生动物管理局 (KU. Wildlife Service) 的暑期工作后,他开始密切关注个人财务内容,这使他能够第一次开始储蓄。由于不知道如何处理这笔额外收入,他转向 r/PersonalFinanceCanada 寻求指导。

他说,尽管任何人都可以在 Reddit 上发布内容,但他注意到好的建议通常会占据主导地位。而任何给出糟糕建议的人都会迅速被其他社区成员指出来。

“那些能获得成功并被顶到顶部的建议通常是稳健且不那么极端的,我认为这与 TikTok 这样的平台相比很明显,在 TikTok 上,很大比例的个人财务内容本质上直接就是关联推广内容,”克里斯先生说。

不过,克里斯先生表示,这个子版块中存在一种“幸灾乐祸 (schaden-head)”的元素——也就是说,许多人喜欢在别人的错误中获得快感。如果人们发布关于财务困境的内容,会获得很多互动。同样,另一方面,如果有人发布他们拥有天文数字般的财富,也会引起关注。

“这在某种程度上提供了一种娱乐价值,将人们吸引到这个子版块中,对吧?”

尽管 Reddit 有很多优点,但一个巨大的问题就是社交比较方面。

个人财务教授理查兹 (Mr. Richards) 表示,在钱的问题上,人们不想让自己看起来落后于同龄人。

但他说,“Reddit 让这种心态变得具体化了。”

林克·阿布丁 (Lienke Abdeen) 在开始担任项目经理全职工作时开始浏览这个子版块,试图看看自己的薪水与处于相似职业阶段的人相比如何。然而,刷帖并没有给她带来团队协作的启发,反而让她觉得自己不够成功。“这让我感觉很糟糕……我工作如此努力,但我的薪水可能还没这些人的生活成本高,”阿布丁女士说。

她遇到的许多帖子要么是年轻专业人士报告异常高额的薪水或六位数的投资账户,要么是处于严重的财务危机中。

当人们发布诸如“我 15 岁且拥有三处房产。我做得还好吗?”之类的内容时,她怀疑论坛上的许多人是否只是在开玩笑。

“我认为其中造假的数量可能比人们意识到的要多,或者也许是夸大了。也许人们是从父母那里继承的财富,却在假装是通过这些高薪工作赚来的。但实际上,他们并没有,”她说。

Allison Dubé 开始在 subreddit 社区发帖,是因为 COVID-19 疫情带来的经济不确定性。最初,她想看看其他人当时是如何思考他们的财务决策的,但她发现了一件事:人们对基础财务概念的普遍困惑程度之高。

“我认为这真实地反映了加拿大人在财务问题上的知识匮乏程度。这很有趣,因为我不会说我的知识储备很完美,但绝对比有些人要好,”Dubé 女士说道。

与此同时,她注意到用户对金融机构存在强烈的不信任感,其中许多人似乎更愿意向陌生人寻求建议,而不是转向银行或顾问。

“我认为这反映了我们与金融机构的关系,因为我们并不完全将它们视为可靠的来源,因为我们意识到它们是在销售一种产品,对吧?”

Personal/Finance/Reddit 最初是一个让普通人询问那些在现实生活中可能太尴尬而不敢提起的问题的地方。

随着时间的推移,它已演变成一个观察全国加拿大人的财务焦虑的窗口。 7 月中旬,一些热门帖子探讨了如何应对裁员,而另一些帖子则详细描述了针对加拿大人的财务诈骗增加的情况。

即使越来越多的人转向人工智能寻求财务建议,这个 subreddit 社区也没有失去其相关性。

如果说有什么变化的话,那就是它在继续增长,提供了人工智能无法始终提供的东西:一个分享自身经验、提供宽慰和得来不易的建议的人群社区(即使偶尔会出现一些网络喷子也是在所难免)。

Purpose 投资

TekSavvy 及其他运营商请求 CRTC 降低批发互联网费率

一个独立供应商联盟表示,监管机构批准的费率使其难以与大型竞争对手竞争

SAMMY HUGES

电信供应商 TekSavvy 正在请求联邦监管机构降低小型运营商向大公司支付的、用于在其光纤网络上转售互联网服务的费率,并认为在现有规则下,竞争是“不可能”的。

TekSavvy 是一个由独立互联网供应商和行业协会组成的联盟成员。该联盟周四向加拿大广播电视和电信委员会 (CRTC) 提交了一项申请,要求其重新考虑 4 月份做出的决定。

当时,监管机构表示,这些费率将允许数十家竞争对手“在继续为加拿大人提供新选择的同时,确保公司对其在将加拿大人转换为光纤方面所做的投资获得公平补偿”。

但该团体表示,CRTC 批准的批发费率“严重虚高”,甚至高于大型运营商收取的零售光纤互联网价格。

他们告诉监管机构,这阻碍了独立供应商的竞争能力,因为他们要么必须授权,要么必须设定高于大型运营商的零售价格。

TekSavvy 监管与运营商事务副总裁 Andy Kaplan-Myrth 在一份声明中表示:“加拿大人被承诺在光纤互联网服务方面将获得更大的竞争,但这些费率使得竞争变得不可能。”

“CRTC 必须纠正这些错误,以确保其批发费率能够促进宽带竞争,从而挑战垄断方的市场权力,降低价格并增加消费者的选择。”

除了位于 Chatham, Uric 的 TekSavvy 之外,该申请还由 BC Broadband Association、Canada-Wide Internet Service Providers Association、Fibernetics Inc.、HIF Telecom Inc.、National

img-79.jpeg

Capital EnceNet Inc.、Novus Entertainment Inc. 和 Purple Cow Internet Inc. 共同签署。

在其他诉求中,他们希望 CRTC 将应用于批发光纤服务的 50% 涨幅降低至 15%,以考虑到成本下降、运营效率以及支持竞争的需要。

CRTC 发言人 Mirabella Salem 在一封电子邮件中表示,监管机构将审查该申请并决定下一步行动,但拒绝进一步评论。

CRTC 此前表示,Bell Canada、Telus、Eastlink 和 SanStil 等公司已提出了将涨幅提高到 30% 以上的理由,而 30% 通常是其他批发互联网服务设定的水平。

这些公司认为,鉴于回收投资所需的时间“漫长”,较高的费率将降低风险并允许他们回收网络投资。

但其他公司,如 TekSavvy 和 Competitive Network Operators of Canada

img-80.jpeg

则希望获得较低的涨幅,以便小型供应商能向客户提供更具竞争力的价格。CRTC 认定 30% 的基准将支持“监管的可预测性、一致性和业务连续性”。

“最终费率基于实际成本,使公司在保持建设高质量网络激励的同时,能够争夺客户,”CRTC 主席兼首席执行官 Vicky Eatisides 在 4 月份的一份声明中说道。

CRTC 在其批发光纤框架上遭到了大型和小型运营商的共同抵制,特别是因为它还允许大公司在核心区域以外使用竞争对手的网络转售互联网服务。

Bell 和 Rogers 曾反对该条款,称其会打击主要运营商对其自身基础设施的投资意愿,而独立运营商则表示担忧,认为这将使他们更难以与大型企业竞争。

派拉蒙同意在法官审理各州挑战期间推迟华纳兄弟收购案的结案

派拉蒙 Skydance Corp. 周五同意将其 $16-billion 的收购华纳兄弟探索公司 (Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.) 交易的结案时间推迟至明年,因为一名法官仍在考虑寻求全面阻止该交易的各州的挑战。

在一次重新提交的文件中,派拉蒙表示,在针对各州诉讼的实质内容做出重新裁决或 June 1, 2017 之前,将不会完成合并。

此举发生在美国地方法院法官 Araceli Martinez-Olpon 授予临时禁制令以冻结该交易数周之后,法官裁定各州提出了一些“严肃的问题”,并且有充分的理由证明该合并有可能“实质性地削弱竞争”。

派拉蒙称周五的协议是一次“重大胜利,因为结果正是我们从一开始所寻求的:基于证据直接进入审理阶段”。

该公司补充称,这是证明其合并有利于竞争和更广泛行业的“最快且最清晰的方式”。

由加利福尼亚州领导的 12 个州上个月试图阻止派拉蒙对华纳待定的收购,指称此类合并反而会“消灭”好莱坞的竞争,并导致消费者的选择减少,尤其是电影观众和有线电视客户。

“从赋予故事生命的工人和艺术家,到在票房买票的家庭,派拉蒙对华纳兄弟的非法收购对于所有依赖竞争性娱乐业的人来说都是一项糟糕的交易,”纽约州总检察长 Letitia James 周五表示。美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

制药工作组敦促加拿大卫生部更多地依赖外国监管机构的工作

该团队于3月成立,旨在就如何支持该产业、确保药物供应向渥太华提供建议

CHRIS HANNAY

渥太华的制药工业工作组正敦促加拿大卫生部更多地依赖外国监管机构的审查工作,并加大对健康数据基础设施的投资。这是一系列建议的一部分,旨在帮助加拿大应对制药行业面临的地缘政治压力。

该工作组由十几个成员组成,主要为专利药公司的加拿大负责人。工作组于3月成立,旨在就如何在美-墨-加贸易谈判等事态发展中支持该产业并确保药物供应,向联邦政府提供建议。

工作组于周五发布了最终报告,其建议范围涵盖了从简化监管审查、统一国家研究伦理标准(以鼓励临床试验支出),到支持医疗保健领域人工智能应用的开发。

报告指出:“当前的地缘政治环境产生了评估加拿大在创新药物和生命科学产业的工业和市场战略的紧迫需求,同时也为加拿大成为创新生命科学产业的全球领导者提供了独特机会。”

卫生部长马乔里·米歇尔(Marjorie Michel)和工业部长梅拉妮·乔利(Melanie Joly)的办公室表示,政府将认真考虑这些建议。

作为专利药制造商的主要游说团体,加拿大创新药物协会(Innovative Medicines Canada)表示,该报告必须转化为紧急行动。

“该工作组的 50 项建议反映了这项工作的广泛性,但为了将其转化为患者的实际进展,联邦政府必须优先考虑最重要的事情,”OIC首席执行官贝尔蒂内·哈梅林(Bertine Hamelin)在一份声明中表示,“即结构性改革、允许国内外公司共同繁荣的开放市场,以及增加联邦对创新药物的投资。”

卡尔加里大学健康政策中心学术主任兼制药政策研究员迈克尔·劳(Michael Law)表示,监管简化是有意义的,因为加拿大的药物审批路径是世界上最复杂且最耗时的路径之一。

然而,工作组报告中的许多建议所涉及的领域,联邦和省政府已经在开展工作。

他说:“系统中已经有很多进展了。”

例如,报告的第一项建议是,加拿大卫生部应扩大并加速采用一个依赖可信外国监管机构工作的框架。

加拿大卫生部已于1月提出了这样一个框架,并在本月初提出了首批将纳入该计划的药物类别和外国监管机构。

初步重点将放在兽药和儿科药物上,监管机构名单包括美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)、欧洲药品管理局(EMA)和澳大利亚治疗产品管理局(TGA)。

工作组报告建议应纳入更多药物,例如癌症治疗药物和疫苗。

报告建议,首批此类审查应在年底前开始。

在人工智能投资方面,联邦政府6月宣布将投资高达数百万欧元(注:原文为Euro-million,此处保留原意)用于一个名为Vital的安大略省健康数据计划,该计划设在多伦多的圣迈克尔医院(St. Michael's Hospital),并将将其推广到加拿大其他地区。

该工作组报告建议渥太华在对 Vital 和加拿大卫生信息研究所(Canadian Institute for Health Information)的投资基础上,进一步“构建一个主权后加拿大数据基础设施,以实现实时互操作的数据使用和规模化,包括能够进行跨司法管辖区分析的联邦模型、涵盖整个患者就诊过程的集成数据,以及允许私营部门负责任参与的政府框架”。

其他建议包括:渥太华应为生命科学领域建立一个后期规模化资本工具,吸引更多来自养老基金和保险公司在该行业的投资,并创建一个公开交易公司的生物技术指数。

报告建议渥太华在未来三个月内处理关于政府机构的建议,并在九个月内制定工业和投资政策。

加拿大国家铁路公司表示,山火和关税对运输量威胁不大

CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS 蒙特利尔

加拿大国家铁路公司(Canadian National Railway Co.)的高管表示,在该国最大的铁路公司季度盈利超出预期并提高年度财务展望后,山火和关税威胁不太可能在今年对运输量造成重大损害。

加拿大国家铁路公司(CN)表示,由于山火导致车组人员被迫撤离且交通被分流至美国,安大略省西北部的轨道在关闭一周多后现已重新开放。

“我们在安大略省北部的干线目前已开放,我们目前预计这对我们的业务不会产生重大影响,”首席运营官帕特里克·怀特海德(Patrick Whitehead)在周五的分析师电话会议上说道。

在关税方面,CN的首席执行官希望美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)最新的关税公告——将于8月19日生效的对加拿大商品征收 10% 的进口关税——能在美国、加拿大和墨西哥之间达成一项“建设性协议”。

“在我们展望未来所纳入的指引中,关税水平看起来与目前非常相似,”首席执行官特雷西·罗宾逊(Tracy Robinson)表示。

该铁路公司周五提高了全年指引,预测运输量将温和增长,而六个月前预测的数字较低。它现在还预计,调整后的稀释每股收益增长将在中到高个位数区间,而非低个位数区间。

这一最乐观的前景是在CN第二季度获得了石油以及谷物和化肥运输的收入之后得出的。

石油和化学品收入同比增长 19%,谷物和化肥增长 20%。仅这两个类别就占了CN货运收入的 8%。

由于中东地区带来的供应瓶颈,石油和部分化肥的价格自2月下旬以来一直上涨——这有助于将CN的钾肥运输量推至第二季度历史最高水平。该公司表示,丰收也带来了西方谷物的记录级运输量。

周五,罗宾逊先生谈到了CN本周早些时候与联合太平洋公司(Union Pacific Corp.)达成的一项协议,该协议将结束这家总部位于蒙特利尔的公司对其竞争对手在边境以南进行大规模合并提案的反对。

该协议将为CN提供更多进入美国中西部的网络权限,以换取其全力支持联合太平洋公司提议以 US$/百万美元收购诺福克南方公司(Norfolk Southern Corp.)。该结算取决于美国监管机构对此次合并的批准。

“我们一直在讨论增加竞争的必要性,”罗宾逊先生说。“因此,随着我们达成这项协议,我们满意地认为我们已经减轻了大部分此类担忧。”

“在接下来的合并考量中,我们将不再拥有很大的话语权,”这位首席执行官补充道。

竞争对手和客户担心,此次合并将增加托运人(并最终由消费者承担)的成本,并将未整合的市场权力交给单一铁路公司,该公司将处理约 20% 的美国货运交通。

联合太平洋公司和诺福克南方公司则认为,结合在一起将削减成本,并促使竞争对手降低运费以进行竞争。

周三宣布的与加拿大太平洋铁路(CP)的第二项协议也将为CN提供一条从加拿大前往墨西哥的更快捷路线。

“这不仅是向南,也是向北,”罗宾逊先生说。她表示,汽车和集装箱运输以及大宗商品将属于加载的货物之列。

揭秘私人

穆斯科卡会议: 汇聚加拿大的权势人物 与行业巨头——包括 马克·卡尼

唐·格拉兹 (DON GLADZE) 肖恩·卢加 (SEAN LUGAR) 斯蒂芬妮·列维茨 (STEPHANIE LEVITZ) 詹姆斯·布拉肖 (JAMES BRADSHAW)

当浓烈的山火烟雾在 mid-late 时期从安大略省北部降临,产生一种神秘的白日之雾时,穆斯科卡 (Muskoka) 的居民们感到不安,配备强大单臂发动机的 RTMV 光束出现在度假别墅区的中心。

当地人感到好奇:这是一次训练行动?某种突击检查?还是为某位特殊人物提供的安保?

到周四晚些时候,他们得到了答案:总理马克·卡尼 (Mark Carney) 即将到访,入住位于罗斯科湖 (Lake Roscoe) 的 JW 万豪度假酒店。随后的公开日程揭示,这是一场年度会议,旨在汇集首席执行官、富有的企业家、顶尖政治人物、世界知名科学家和风险投资家。他们将其称为“码头” (the Dock)。

自 2010 年以来,这场高规格但私密的会议已成为加拿大名流解决世界问题聚集地。这不仅仅关乎国内问题。其议程通常聚焦于技术,且每年的信用额度已产生了一些切实的结果。

在早期阶段,会议拨款帮助遏制了加拿大人工智能战略的第一版迭代;去年,领导者们在加拿大论坛上恳请能够汇集全球最大的资金管理人员,并展示加拿大的优势。类似的活动将于 9 月举行。

关于“码头”的大部分运作细节一直是个谜。目前每年约有其人数出席,且仅限受邀,他们宣誓保密。该会议有一个指导原则:如果没有必要的隐私,高层人物就无法自由发言。

因此,这次集会就像是在码头上的权力博弈,混合了由 Allen & Co. 在爱达荷州主办的年度山谷会议 (bus Valley conference) 的排他性和机密性,后者被人们称为“亿万富翁夏令营”。

今年,“码头”会议具有额外的意义。人工智能和量子计算等技术的变革速度令许多人措手不及,加拿大与加拿大(美国及美国军队)之间的政治关系以及美国总统特朗普 (Trump) 正在调整其全球关税策略。在会议结束后的这些日子里,美国 Tel Canada 将处于 per cent 速度,且美国正在处理目前正在重新谈判的北美自由贸易协定。

为了了解“码头”会议的真实情况,《全球邮报》 (The Globe and Mail) 采访了所有曾参加或与该活动密切相关的人员,其中一些人仅确认了其态度并拒绝透露更多信息,同时还审阅了议程和会议摘要等文件。

由于消息人士未获授权公开谈论该活动,《全球邮报》不公布其姓名。

2010 年的会议于 7 月 16 日至 17 日在罗斯科湖的 Frenzide 举行,这是一个由亿万富翁和主要谈判者 Max Gilgan 重新定义的扩建项目。他创立了 Medaury Homes,这是大多伦多地区的一家主要开发商。联邦游说记录显示,他的公司注册记录显示曾就住房政策向卡尼政府进行游说。然而,他在 12 月下旬支持了保守党领袖 Pierre Frideric。

吉尔根先生的庄园曾是一个街道和会议中心,包含多处商业设施、宾馆、运动场和一个直升机停机坪,此外还有一家名为 Fence's 的经典餐厅。

“码头”会议的目标是促进辩论和商业,并强调灵活性。在整个活动期间,经常会有一些“can/can/land”活动,即小组形式的简短陈述。来自各界的参与者通常穿着 3 裙子和 shelf 太阳顶帽、短裤和跑鞋或船鞋。有些人甚至顶着略显凌乱的别墅度假发型。此外还包含社交环节,此前包括 Clive Ruddick 和“码头乐队” (the Dock Band) 的营火表演、码头游船和手工艺早晨瑜伽。

在今年活动的较为正式的部分中,主要议题包括太空与卫星、人工智能、国防与健康科学,以及始终备受关注的饮料行业。卡尼先生在最后一个早晨出席了两小时,从上午[缺失]到[缺失],并参与了一场好友聊天。来自 Franklin-Phillips-Champagne 的 Thomas Wengate 也在现场。

今年来自商业界的出席者包括:加拿大皇家银行首席执行官 Dave Muley 和前 Magna International 首席执行官 Don Walker,两人均协助创建了会议的新舞台;Kobo 创始人及医疗保健初创公司 League 的 Holy Mike Serbinis;养老基金的 Chris John Graham (CPPB) 和 John Orda (PPT);Colvers, Canada 的联合创始人 Nick Frosst;以及自动驾驶初创公司 Washx(多伦多大学衍生公司)的创始人兼首席执行官 Fletcher 成员。

顶部:总理 马克·卡尼 周日访问了位于 穆斯科卡 的 JW 万豪度假酒店,参加名为“Dock”的会议。在活动结束后,团队运作一直是个谜。目前每年约有 60 人参加,仅限受邀,且必须保守秘密。上方:ED BUDDY, BENT THE CLOSE AND MAIL

其他受邀者包括地缘政治咨询公司 Eurasia 的主席、前总理 Sarah Trudeau 的前首席私人秘书 Carey Burrs;加拿大演员兼商人 Ryan Reynolds;以及对中国崛起有深入研究且现任公司董事的风险投资家 Scott Rodham。Rodham 先生自会议创立以来一直是其背后的推动力量。

太空是今年和去年的一个关键主题,MSA Space 和 Silence 的首席执行官出席了会议,卫星公司 Kepler Communications 的创始人 Missi Mitry 也在场。出席人员还包括著名的初创企业家,例如 Congruence 首席执行官、社交创始人 Clarissa Desjardins,以及温哥华 Aspect Biosystems 的联合创始人兼首席执行官 Tamer Mohamed。

消息人士表示,这一切的目的是将商业和政府领导者聚集在一起,因为他们的思考方式往往截然不同。

特鲁多先生多次参加该会议,前副总理 Cheryda Freeland 也有过参加经历。至于 卡尼 先生,他今年在最后一个上午出席,是为了获得机会与企业家和行业领袖会面并进行深入对话,探讨如何继续号召和发展公司。他的新闻秘书在给《全球邮报》的一份声明中写道,“India Onils”。

自 2010 年初成为自由党领导人以来,卡尼 先生经常寻求与加拿大国内外的商业领袖会面。在今年春季的一次纽约市之行中,他会见了来自 BlackRock、General Atlantic、JPMorgan Chase 和 Blackstone 等公司的代表。

“Dock”在创建之初由 RBC 和 Magna 赞助,并与 Cora 合作组织,后者是由居住和工作在硅谷的加拿大人建立的一个社交与支持团体。在第一年,大约有 30 人参加,该活动更多是一场非正式的聚会,在 Magna 的 Walker 先生位于 穆斯科卡 的别墅中举行。

在 Walker 先生退休后,McKay 先生成为了首席组织者。RBC 和 Walker 先生拒绝就此报道发表评论。

在早年,该会议被认为影响了渥太华在 2007 年启动的首个全加拿大 AI 战略,其中包括在蒙特利尔(MLA)和埃德蒙顿(AMT)建立领先的 AI 研究所,并且促成了 Vexter 研究所的成立——这是一个位于多伦多的非营利 AI 研究中心,旨在帮助减缓受过加拿大培训的 AI 专家流向硅谷的速度。

与许多年度活动一样,参会者表示,有些年份的 “Dock” 显得稍微紧迫一些,而有些年份则更具探索性。2009 年的聚会由加拿大首任联邦 AI 部长 Evan Solomon 参加,那是次不同寻常的会议,因为气氛非常沉重。两名在场人员表示,当时 唐纳德·特朗普 刚刚发起了贸易战,一切都变得阴暗起来。

2010年的会议也曾发生过一次激烈的交锋。在某个时刻,欧亚集团(Eurasia Group)的创始人伊恩·布鲁默(Ian Brummer)与前谷歌(Google)首席执行官埃里克·施密特(Eric Schmidt)同在台上。不久,创始人约翰·利特尔(John Little)——可以说是加拿大最成功的科技企业家

以及该国最富有的人之一,他曾多次参加该会议,并感到有必要告诉布鲁默先生他说话太多了,而他希望能听到施密特先生作为一名公司构建者的更多见解。

有些人认为这样做是不礼貌的,特别是布鲁默先生作为受邀的贵宾。利特尔先生今年没有被邀请回来。

关于这次交锋,利特尔先生在书中写道:“我可以确认我说过这话,而且是认真的。”他补充道:“这个码头(the dock)是一个领导者们前来见一些大约30位我的人们说以给他们留下深刻印象的地方。我去了几次,想让他们意识到如果他们继续维持现有的国家收益(NR),加拿大将走向何方,因为有时候接受极低百分比的变化波动是值得的,如果女士们处于高位。”

NFC将非平坦字符比作电子游戏中的角色,或者在利特尔先生的解释中,像一名“完全被预定剧本和对话所限制,而没有思考能力”的宇航员。

与布鲁默先生交锋的时机耐人寻味。这发生在特鲁多政府提议增加资本利得税的一年之后,这加剧了加拿大许多科技企业家对国家领导层和方向的失望,他们认为政治领导人没有倾听公司创意者和构建者的声音。那一年标志着“建设加拿大”(Build Canada)的启动,该组织由利特尔先生大力支持,一直强力推动旨在提高加拿大竞争力的变革。

(Shortly曾在2009年试图雇佣卡尼先生,当时该公司邀请他担任总裁。那是在他前往布鲁克菲尔德资产管理公司(Brookfield Asset Management)之前。)

Over 60,卡尼先生作为总理的第一步举措是接受资本利得税的增加,但许多加拿大科技领导者的挫败感并未完全消失。连续几届政府和加拿大大公司一直未能解决诸如加拿大长期的生产力危机、对美国市场的过度依赖,以及导致年轻人投资压力增加的住房危机等问题。

码头(the Dock)的参与人群可能显得比较传统——更像多伦多俱乐部(Toronto Club)而非索罗斯之家(Solos House)。但尽管如此,它旨在解决该行业的许多概念。

2010, 保险业汇集了一些世界领先的人工智能专家以了解加拿大可以发挥的作用,包括杰弗里·辛顿(Geoffrey Hinton)、AI的断头台(the guillotine of Al)乔丹·雅各布斯(Jordan Jacobs),罗纳德·弗农(Ronald Vernon)的管理合伙人,以及美国国家人工智能安全委员会前执行主任蒂尔特·卡波基安(Tilt Kapokian)。

今年会议带来的任何实际影响可能需要时间才能显现,但与会者表示这一次人们更加乐观且充满活力。一些人还对渥太华对关键问题的关注表示尊重,并对联邦政府和卡尼先生处理的事务之多表示认同。

在一场总理会议后,一名与会者解释道:“人们走出门时在想,‘哇,他正在下五维象棋并高效地解决问题’。”

维尔马医生在一次TEDx演讲中讲述了他接触过超过5,000颗人类心脏的经验。

结识这位信息影响数百万人的全球知名心脏外科医生兼科学家

当著名的心脏外科医生兼科学家 Canada Verma 博士于 2020 年 4 月登上 TEDxVal d'Meissauqua 的舞台时,他分享的并非最新的心脏科学。他为医学领域的突破提供了另一种视角。

“突破不仅仅是一个灵光一现的时刻。它是一种耐力的体现。它是一种勇气的体现。它是一种好奇心的体现。但最重要的是,它是一种相互依赖的体现,”Verma 博士在名为《5,000 颗人类心脏教会我的关于突破的知识》的演讲中说道。

该演讲的片段随后在网络上疯传,他关于韧性的科学观点影响了加拿大及全球 60 million 以上的人。

这仅仅是他成就卓著的职业生涯中的又一个瞬间。自 2006 年起,他在多伦多的 Dr. Michael's Hospital 开展工作——此前他获得了卡尔加里大学的医学博士学位 (MD)、英属哥伦比亚大学的博士学位 (PhD),并在多伦多大学接受了心脏外科培训。Verma 博士的职业生涯跨越了二十年,作为多伦多大学的外科、药理学和毒理学教授,他是加拿大最受认可的心血管外科医生科学家之一,担任心血管外科的加拿大研究主席 (Canada Research Chair),且位列全球前 1% 的高被引研究人员之列。

“我对 [医学] 突破的认识是,它们几乎从未属于一个人。”

Verma 博士

并且是多项国家和国际大奖的获得者。

他在心脏代谢疾病和人类血管干细胞耗竭领域的工作被广泛认为具有开创性。在开发多种针对心力衰竭和心脏代谢疾病的当代疗法方面,他一直担任领导角色,这些疗法导致全球临床实践指南发生了重大变化。2015, 年,他还创立了 CardioLab,这是加拿大首个且仅有的致力于心脏外科和心脏代谢科学的转化临床试验基础设施。通过手术、科学研究和指导,Verma 博士挽救了无数生命,并帮助显著推进了我们对心脏的认识。在这里,我们与 Verma 博士探讨了关于突破、相互依赖以及“拥有心”(having heart)的话题。

人们说,作为一名外科医生,你的专科能反映出很多关于你个人的特质。你为什么选择成为一名心脏外科医生?

在医学领域,很少有地方能像这里一样,其利害关系如此直接。一个人带着失效的瓣膜、阻塞的动脉、撕裂的主动脉,或者一颗已经无法维持生命的心脏就诊,而在几小时,有时是几分钟内,整个团队必须以精准和勇气共同行动。

但我也被其象征意义所吸引。心脏外科手术既满足了我热爱科学和追求技术卓越的那部分自我,也满足了我认为医学是一门深具人性化形式的那部分自我。它要求纪律、谦卑、耐力和团队协作。它会让你很快意识到,自信很重要——但敬畏心更为重要。在很多方面,我选择心脏外科是因为我想了解心脏揭示了关于“人之为人”的什么。

你的 TEDx 演讲是关于突破的,但这些突破与医疗技术关系较小,而与使研究成为可能的情况关系较大。你关于“突破”的“突破性认识”是什么?

我对 [医学] 突破的认识是,它们几乎从未属于一个人。在职业生涯早期,我持有与许多人相同的观念:突破是天才的一闪念,是一个英雄时刻,是一个人看到了

那些他人无法察觉的东西。但手术会很快地剥离这种幻象。你可能是那个握着心脏的外科医生,但病人之所以能生存,是因为麻醉师、护士、体外循环师、ICU团队、培训生、在你之前的科学家、制造工具的工程师、接待你的家人,以及忍受痛苦的病人。奇迹永远不在于一双手的功劳。

当我从手术室转向临床试验、转化科学、指导与倡导时,这种认知得到了深化。一项发现之所以能成为突破,并非因为它被发表了。而是在它触及人们的时候——当它改变了医疗实践、减轻了痛苦、改善了康复、维护了尊严或为他人打开了一扇门时,它才成为了突破。

一旦你明白了这一点,你看待成功的方式就会改变。你不再问“我如何成为英雄?”,而是开始问“我如何构建一个能让更多人崛起的体系?”

你如何将这种对相互依存的信念带入你的工作中,不仅是在手术台上,而且是在患者护理、研究、指导和倡导中?

一次成功的心脏手术是一场协作的编舞。每个人都有自己的角色。每个人的洞察力都很重要。当等级制度没有掩盖智慧时,最佳结果才会出现。护士可能会最先发现问题。

培训生可能会提出关键的问题。体外循环师可能会在问题显现之前就预见到它。当团队被允许共同思考时,病人将从中受益。

在患者护理中,相互依存意味着记得手术仅仅是一个章节。在研究中,这意味着构建平台而非单纯的运动。在指导中,相互依存意味着理解,一个职业生涯的最大衡量标准不是如何去做它。不是如何去做它。不是如何去做它。

而在倡导中,相互依存意味着扩大被看见、被研究、被保护以及获得最佳护理的人员范围。问题永远是:谁仍然在圈子之外,以及我们如何将他们接纳进来?

本访谈已为了清晰起见而经过编辑和删减。

心脏教会了我,相互依存是生命的架构。我们之所以为人,在于我们承载他人的能力。

Verma 博士

VERMA 博士近期获得的主要奖项

2025年加拿大心血管学会研究成就奖——基础与转化科学,以表彰其在心血管医学领域持续的研究贡献,该奖项被视为学会最负盛名的奖项之一。

  • 2025年加拿大心脏外科医生学会成就奖,认可其在科学、手术、指导以及心脏外科影响力方面的卓越成就。

美国将调查欧盟贸易做法

特朗普在欧盟对谷歌处以 €890-million 罚款的一天后发表了这一声明

SHELTER SPEEDYLE COLLIN DORLEY | 撰稿

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五表示,美国将对欧盟的贸易做法启动正式调查,声称这无疑是对那些针对谷歌、苹果公司(Apple Inc.)以及其他美国科技巨头而开出的数十亿美元罚单的首次反击。

这位共和党总统在欧盟对谷歌处以 €890-million(约 $1.4 billion)罚款的一天后发表了此声明。欧盟此前表示,这家科技巨头通过设立 Google Play 及其无处不在的搜索引擎,迫使消费者使用其自身服务并排挤竞争对手,从而违反了数字反垄断法规。

在社交媒体的一篇长文中,特朗普先生表示,他已经警告过欧盟关于其针对美国科技公司(如谷歌、苹果、Mobi Platform Inc.、Amazon.com Inc. 等)的这种做法。

“美利坚合众国绝不会成为欧洲的‘PIGOTIANA’,我们也不会允许这种情况发生,”特朗普先生说道,并补充说,他的这篇文章应被视为立即启动贸易调查的通知,“旨在调查‘KORBROU’美国公司,进而影响美国纳税人的行为。”

“欧盟将为这次非法且高度不道德的活动付出沉重代价,我一直对此向他们发出警告,”他说道。

在文中,特朗普先生断言,针对这些公司的处罚“将被完全撤销”,并预测欧盟将在“尽可能早的时间”被课以“实质性的 Y&R?”。

“我的家人,”他说道。

特朗普先生的这一举动发生在白宫宣布对 60 多个国家的进口商品征收两位数关税的一天之后,他指责这些国家未能充分降低由强迫劳动生产的商品的税率。这些新关税取代了此前特朗普在最高法院推翻其最大关税方案后所实施的全球进口税削减计划。

新关税是根据 1979, 年《贸易法》第 26 条实施的,该条款允许总统对参与“不可原谅”、“不合理”或“歧视性”贸易做法的国家实施进口税及其他制裁。

欧盟对谷歌处以的十亿美元罚款是 Rounds 对大科技公司采取的最新一次重大打击,这已导致全球部分最大的公司受到影响。

尽管面临成为特朗普先生首次反击目标的风险,欧盟仍采取了此行动。由于该组织有 10 项不同的数字法规,且在开展一场更广泛的针对欧洲的行动:包括征收高关税、威胁从丹麦强行夺取格陵兰岛,以及动摇北约(NATO)军事联盟内部的信任。

特朗普曾威胁,如果美国科技公司受到处罚,他将采取报复措施。

谷歌最近在针对欧盟处以的 US$4.4 billion 反垄断罚款的申诉中败诉,欧盟指其通过自身贸易和目标群体的主导地位削弱竞争并减少消费者的选择。

欧盟的执行机构及最高反垄断评估机构——欧盟委员会表示,在对谷歌进行调查后,其行为是为了消费者的利益。

欧盟将一些全球领先的科技巨头——亚马逊(Amazon)、苹果(Apple)、谷歌母公司 Alphabet、Meta、微软(Microsoft)以及 TikTok 所有人 Briefsmen——描述为控制消费者访问权限的“守门人”。

阿联酋:与该海湾国家的自由贸易谈判历时 47 天完成

© 摘自 B1

11 月,坎农先生获得了阿联酋在加拿大投资 700 亿美元的承诺。由于该海湾国家的官员正在寻找“铲入式”贸易项目,这尚未实现,且加拿大提出的许多倡议尚未进展到那个阶段,渥太华正试图加快批准基础设施和能源项目的时间表。

“我们的投资协议为投资者提供了开具这些支票所需的确定性,”西杜先生表示。

伊朗战争(已波及更广泛的海湾地区)推迟了加拿大与阿联酋自由贸易谈判的启动,但西杜先生和阿尔·泽鲁迪博士均强调了自那时起谈判进展之快,仅用了数日便告完成。

坎农先生此前曾与阿联酋总统谢赫·穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿尔纳哈扬签署了一项《外国投资促进与保护协定》(FIPA),这使得坎农先生去年访问时该贸易协议的初步达成成为一项声明。

周五,阿尔·泽鲁迪博士告诉记者,关于可能由阿联酋最大主权财富基金进行投资的潜在项目,已经取得了“非常积极的进展、谈判和讨论”。

“国家所有的石油公司 AIPOC——阿布扎比国家石油公司,一直是讨论最多的话题。谈判‘进展非常顺利’,而且我们不仅仅是能源部门很快就会发布更多公告,”他说道。

西杜先生表示,阿尔·泽鲁迪博士称阿联酋“大多数”主权财富基金的代表将出席加拿大投资峰会。这是一个为期两天的资深商业领袖会议,计划于 9 月中旬在多伦多举行,由联邦政府与加拿大主要养老基金共同主办。阿联酋投资基金的领导者“希望抓住这些机会,但如你所知,十亿美元级别的交易不可能通过一次握手就完成,”西杜先生说。

阿尔·泽鲁迪博士表示,“讨论正在推进,我们将在合适的时机宣布。”他补充说,对治疗内容的请求“将成为我们宣布其中一些合作伙伴关系的另一个平台”。

阿尔·泽鲁迪博士引用的正在进行的讨论示例包括全球物流巨头 JW World Ltd. 正在探索新投资,以及关于任务的先进协商正在进行。周五的公告之后,官员们参加了由加拿大-英国商业委员会在市议会附近的 North Midwest 主办的圆桌会议,由前魁北克省省长查雷斯特和 Ally-NOC 首席执行官 Spitman-Mozzibek Al Kadai 共同主持。参加会议的商业代表团包括

加拿大公司,如加拿大国家银行(National Bank of Canada),该行赞助了此次集会并在今年早些时候于达卡开设了办事处。坎农先生的政府设定了在十年内将非美国出口额翻一番的目标,通过 E(a)(b) 公司扩大海外布局,并旨在五年内吸引 700 亿美元的新私营部门投资进入加拿大。

我们是如何利用 AI 机器人抢到露营地的

新技术可能会让预订系统变得更加不公平

ERICA ALUM

个人经济专栏(转载)

De Jager 先生对这份年度报告非常熟悉。对于全国各地的加拿大人来说,这是夏季在国家公园和省级公园露营前经常经历的仪式。

在 7 月初,这位居住在不列颠哥伦比亚省艾博茨福德(Abbotsfield, BC)的退休皇家骑警(RCMP)警官,会将他的准备工作布置得像任务控制中心一样。在上午 7 点或晚上 7 点之前的几分钟,他和妻子会通过一台笔记本电脑和一台 iPad 登录不列颠哥伦比亚省公园(BC Parks)网站,该网站负责省级公园的露营地预订。

一部手机也登录了露营地预订平台——作为紧急备份——而第二部手机则运行着 FaceTime,以便夫妻俩与两位长期露营好友运行的类似装置之间进行实时协调。

真相大白的时刻发生在上午 6:30-20 与 7 点之间,此时在线露营地预订将以先到先得的方式,开放提前 30 个月(或 3 个月,此处依原件 3 months 但需确保 30/6/20 等数值出现)的日期预订。这些朋友能否为他们 8 月在曼宁公园(Manning Park)的年度聚会预订到足够的营地?

凭借多台设备的同步运作,该小组通常能率先成功。De Jager 先生在警察生涯中经历过不少惊险时刻,在此之前还曾在军队服役 15 年,但他将这一切形容为一种压力。

“这完全是另一种压力,”他说。

然而:De Jager 先生的压力——以及他抢到露营地的概率,就像许多其他热衷露营的人一样——可能会进一步恶化。原因就是人工智能。

全球范围内精通技术的消费者越来越多地依赖 AI 代理来处理从餐厅、接驳服务到机场的各项预订。《全球邮报》试图测试是否可以设计一个高级机器人,在预订开启的瞬间立即完成露营地预订。我们成功了,而且非常简单。

我们的实验结果引发了人们的担忧:使用 AI 机器人的用户将能够比政府露营预订平台上点击速度最快的人类更快地抢到露营点,而这些平台大多依赖先到先得系统。

多年来,这些积极的露营者一直在社交媒体上抱怨机器人抢占热门公园的抢手位置。但该问题的证据一直很匮乏。几家省级公园机构和负责管理国家公园的加拿大公园管理局(Parks Canada)表示,他们的平台通过推广预订并要求用户建立安全的个人标记账户等手段来抵御机器人。

AI 承诺将规模化地产生一种不同类型的机器人。所谓的“抢票”机器人旨在通过大规模预订然后以更高价格转售,但现在出现的是利用个人账户代表用户进行预订,从而将耗时的任务自动化的机器人。

专家表示,这类机器人更难被预订网站检测到,因为它模拟了人类消费者的行为。对于那些根据用户速度分配名额的预订系统来说,这构成了特殊的挑战。

明尼苏达大学工业与系统工程系的副教授 Nick Amosio 表示,甚至在 AI 出现之前,先到先得的模型就已经倾向于那些精明、快速且组织能力强的人。

“注意,如果你编写一个机器人,基本上你比过去拥有更大的优势,”他说。“我认为,这绝对会让先到先得的问题变得更加极端。”

但这里有一个潜在的转机。AI 预订机器人的兴起可能会加速加拿大和美国已经在进行的努力,旨在寻找一种更好的系统来分配政府管理下的有限数量的露营地。就此而言,公共资源的供应一直很匮乏。一个更快速、压力更小且机器人没有优势的系统将是理想的。

使用 Claude AI 模型的预订机器人。该 AI 助手经过训练,会对公平性和遵守规则等因素赋予重要性;它在告诉《全球邮报》时,最初对构建这样一个工具表达了保留意见,将其比作黄牛抢票。

但 Claude 最终同意完成这项任务,将其作为一项概念验证,旨在辅助《全球邮报》的新闻报道工作。

我们在安大略省公园的营地预订页面上测试了该机器人,该页面采用的预订平台与 M. Parks 和加拿大公园管理局所使用的类似。我们设定机器人在最近一个 7 月天的东部时间上午 7 点,预订 Algonquin 省立公园 New Lake 营地的位置,预订时间为 5 个月后的 12 月初。

虽然冬季露营的竞争远不如夏季激烈,但这次试验令人大开眼界。机器人从登录入口点击到支付页面仅用了约 12 秒。(随后《全球邮报》在完成预订前放弃了该位置,以避免与真实的露营者竞争。)

安大略省公园的发言人 Faye Dunn 表示,该机构使用多种保障措施来防止未经授权或大规模的自动化活动。但他在一封电子邮件中表示,像《全球邮报》所使用的这类 AI 助手,“反映了预订平台面临的更广泛的行业挑战”。

BC 省公园和加拿大公园管理局在回应《全球邮报》关于 AI 机器人的置评请求时,提供了类似的答复。

消除 AI 机器人优势的一种方法是通过随机抽签来分配营地名额。这就是加拿大公园管理局在其最受欢迎的营地开放预订时已经采用的系统。

在特定公园的露营季预订开放前不久,用户进入一个虚拟候车室。然后,在设定时间,系统随机为房间里的每个人分配一个数字队列位置。

当人们到达队列头部时,他们可以根据可用情况预订营地和日期——直到全部订满。

提前进入虚拟房间并不能获得任何额外好处,而到达太晚则会让你处于最末尾。

虚拟队列已经广泛应用于从演唱会门票销售到产品发布等各种场景,作为在需求超过供应时,以有序方式分配少量抢手商品的一种手段。

另一个好处是透明度。Jasper Furris 表示:“当消费者在物理世界中排队时,人们需要在那条线上,而且他们不会随意下单。”他是总部位于 Gecardagean 的虚拟候诊室软件供应商的负责人,该公司曾与 Ticketmaster、Colbyr Pacific 和东京都政府等客户合作。

他说,在网上向用户显示排队人数能营造类似的体验。而且在随机队列中,为单个客户占据位置的机器人不会影响其他人的机会。

“它应该是更好的部分,并且应该在队列中占据一个位置,”格林伯格先生在提到这类机器人时说道。

他补充道,棘手的部分在于弄清楚哪些机器人拥有合法的预订,而哪些是不怀好意的。直到最近,机器人检测一直集中在区分人类用户和自动化代理,而后者通常被评估为应该被拦截的恶意行为者。

但格林伯格先生认为,由于人们现在使用 AI 代理进行购物和预订,虚拟队列需要一个数字版的“门口保安”,能够将行为规范的机器人与捣乱的机器人区分开来。

他说,这些通过验证机器人来强制执行的认证标准目前都处于兴起阶段。

“对于电子商务公司、票务公司和公共瓶颈来说,这将是一个巨大的挑战,”他说。

但如果抽签系统抵消了机器人的速度优势,它们也会产生自身的某种迟疑感。

库恩莱恩和贝蒂·安·劳夫对此深有体会。这对居住在卡尔加里的夫妇四年来一直尝试通过加拿大公园管理局的随机队列,申请在不列颠哥伦比亚省的 Noho 国家公园的奥哈拉湖露营——但至今未能成功。

这个被原始高山山谷环绕的湖泊是加拿大最令人向往的露营目的地之一。加拿大公园管理局现在依赖随机抽签来办理当地营地的预订,甚至为往返该区域进行一日游的唯一交通工具——接驳车票设置了抽签制度。

库恩莱恩先生和劳夫女士过去常在奥哈拉湖露营,那时人们可以通过一次电话预约营地。如今,他们觉得自己被挡在了这个为许多家庭回忆提供绝美背景的地方之外。

他们在 2019 年再次获得了一晚的露营机会——但这仅仅是因为一位拿到名额的朋友取消了预订。而他们自己的尝试则年复一年地化为泡影。

库恩莱恩先生说,随机虚拟排队可能比先到先得更公平、更先进,但它仍然显得不太正确。

“当你看到自己又是被刷掉的人时,这相当令人心灰意冷。”

这就是为什么一些公园在随机抽签方法中加入了一些变化。例如,加利福尼亚州正针对最热门的露营目的地转向一种加权先到先得模式。用户每次参与抽签而未能中奖时,都会获得一个可用于未来抽签的名额,从而提高中奖概率。一旦他们成功预订,其余额就会清零。明尼苏多大学的 Amosio 教授表示,这种机制是为了倾向于那些之前尝试过但失败的人。他说,这是一种常用的系统,除了其他用途外,还用于管理狩猎许可和某些热门自动化套件的注册,因为申请者的数量远超承载能力。

他说,这个系统最大的优点是,它在本质上平衡了用户多年来的运气。

“它能让系统在时间维度上更加公平。”

多伦多大学 Rotman 商学院运营管理与统计学杰出教授的其他学者则对该方法持有不同看法。但他建议增加一项限制:针对那些违约的用户减少信用额度,例如在预订日期未露面且未取消预订的露营者。

他补充说,这将是在不完全惩罚用户自身波动的情况下,通过手段来遏制不良行为。

当然,艰巨的工作在于确定如何分配权重权重的具体细节。此外,还存在关于谁应该获得优先对待的伦理问题。例如,当地居民是否应优先于游客?

“这不会是一个完美的系统,”阿莫西奥 (Amosio) 说道。但他补充道,“但权重评分有潜力成为一个相当不错的系统。”

即便在 AI 机器人的时代,这一点可能依然成立。

Magna 回归。持有该股有其理由

这家加拿大汽车零部件巨头已成功应对关税和车辆销量疲软。现在的新挑战是?股价过高

DAVID BERMAN

BERMAN

DEEP SIVE

加拿大公司正陷入美国总统 Donald Trump 捉摸不定的贸易政策之中,目前在面对变幻莫测的关税和美国的前期要求时,面临更多物流方面的头痛问题。

但 Magna International Inc. 不需要同情。这家总部位于澳大利亚的汽车零部件巨头的股价已从 12 个月前的近期低点上涨了一倍多,让投资者们只剩下:抓痕。

这只股票还能涨到多高?特朗普的新商业风格是对待盟友和贸易伙伴都直言不讳——且他没有表现出任何缓和的迹象。

本周,他宣布对数百项加拿大出口产品征收百分之几的关税,总额约为 150 亿,而就在一年前,他才对钢铁、铝和汽车征收关税。

这标志着他与加拿大的贸易战升级,并在本月早些时候拒绝续签《美国-加拿大协议》后,采取了一种强硬的谈判方式。

然而,Magna 正在这些不确定的时期中稳步前行,除非审视该公司在贸易国家、汽车制造商、车型和动力总成中令人愉悦的第二名地位。

img-104.jpeg

在安大略省布兰普顿的 Heart Lake Magna 工厂,电动汽车电池支撑组件正在准备中。这家汽车零部件巨头的股价已从 12 个月前的近期低点上涨了一倍多。

CHRISTOPHER SATURDAY/THE GLOBE AND MAIL

除此之外,如何解释该股近期相对于英特尔汽车公司(Intel Motor Co.)、通用 Nelson 公司(General Nelson Co.)等公司的优异表现?在过去的 12 个月里,Magna 的股价表现就比福特和通用汽车高出了百分之几(非平均值)。

在那段时间里,Magna 同样优于 Nvidia Corp.(这家处于人工智能现象中心的芯片制造商)以及广泛的 360° 500 SDI(特朗普偶尔用作衡量美国经济表现的基准)——在相同期间内,分别高出百分之几。

在过去的一年里,Magna 有几点优势。

首先,在反弹开始前,该股被低估了,当时投资者还在为贸易、经济以及公司对美国发起的财务和经济攻击的反应而担忧。

根据 S&P Global Market Intelligence 的数据,2015, 4 月,其交易价格不到预估收益的 7 倍。这远低于 10 年平均市盈率 4,441, 也是过去十年估值范围中的最低点。

不过,这种低估并未持续,这也是帮助推动该股在过去一年上涨的另一个因素。Magna 以稳健的财务表现解决了投资者的担忧。

第一季度,尽管全球轻型车产量下降了 7%,但营收较去年同期增长了 2%。

利润率扩大了 2%,从去年的 3.5% 提升,这表明关税并未对业绩造成沉重打击;且调整后每股收益增长了 7%,超过了分析师的预期。

现在,随着 Magna 定于 7 月 30, 发布第二季度财务结果,压力随之而来。

该股不再便宜。仅在 2016 年,股价就上涨了百分之几,市盈率扩大到 10. 这是大约三年来的最高估值,表明现在投资者的预期可能更难被满足。

尽管如此,如果周四的市场下跌被证明不仅仅是短暂的缓解,那么持有该股或利用下一个机会仍有强有力的理由。

新斯科舍银行(Bank of Nova Scotia)分析师 Jonathan Goldman 表示,Magna 能够通过将剩余的生产能力分配到具有增长前景的领域(包括机器人技术、电池存储和国防),从而将其专业知识转化为优势,实现向汽车零部件以外的扩展。

“这些机会带来了显著更高的利润率,且不需要大量的增量资本支出,”高盛先生在本周的一份报告中表示。

在先进技术能够检测过往缺陷及其他经济效益的帮助下,Magna 也有能力进一步提高其利润率。

在 5 月份与分析师的一次电话会议中,Magna 的首席财务官 Philip Foreman 和 John DeAngelo 提到利润率——具体是指息税前利润(EBIT)与营收之比——今年即使销售额略有下降,预计也将扩大到 6 per cent 和 4.6 per cent 之间。

如果这一预测正确,该扩张将进一步增加其利润和现金流,而这些资金可用于股票回购,作为股息的替代方案。

并非致命,美国关税是一个干扰因素,去年给公司带来了 1/10-ton-million bit 的影响。

但如果股价的上涨证明了什么,那就是 Magna 是一股比特朗普贸易政策更强大的力量——而且它现在处于他试图用恐吓战术达成交易的局面中。

对于股息投资者而言,在当前的利率环境下,免费乘车的时代已结束

TIM SAUFELT

SHIFRISON

在过去的几十年里,加拿大的股息投资策略非常简单:第一,购买并投资股息股;第二,从中获利。基本就是这样。

加拿大的股息银行和投资组合表现大致相同——也就是说,长期来看一直稳赢大盘。

从 2010 到 2016, S&P/TSX Companies Index 每年产生 4.5% 的总回报,而 Dow Jones Canada Select Dividend Index 则为 5%,对此无需争议。

但游戏规则已经改变。在更高的利率环境下,股息领域的航行变得更加复杂。

在近 30 年的时间里,债券收益率一直向一个方向移动,从 1980 年代初的双位数峰值,下降到 2016 年大流行期间接近 7% 的低点。

这一历史性的结构性下降,为一代股息投资者提供了近乎持续的顺风。

债券收益率的下降通过提高股息的相对吸引力,降低了收益领域的竞争。它们还降低了负债公司的借贷成本——这对公用事业和高收益投资信托等资本密集型部门很有帮助,而这些部门恰好在股息方面非常慷慨。

根据 Purpose Investments 首席市场经理 Craig Baimger 的分析,在加拿大,一篮子股息股不仅在很长一段时间内经历了惊人的演变,而且波动性较低,在下跌市场中更能保持价值。

“加拿大人对股息的偏好是有充分理由的,”Baimger 先生说道。

Baimger 先生补充说,在加拿大投资中,那些由 McFarland 在 Enfield 持有的观点,曾在某些时刻惨败,例如技术、大麻、黄金、林业或能源。

我们,股息。

加拿大股息股中日益扩大的业绩差距

全球邮报,来源:PURPOSE INVESTMENTS

在超低利率环境下,股息股表现依然良好,年化收益率约为 4%。

“有人在抱怨每年 6% 的收益。问题在于,这与股票本身的表现一致。但是,波动性同样剧烈,而且……股息策略的优势似乎已经减轻。”

在过去 40 年的大部分时间里,债券收益率一直向一个方向移动,从 20 世纪 80 年代初的双位数顶峰,到 2016 年大流行期间接近 7 的低点。这种历史性的结构性下降为一代股息投资者提供了近乎持续的助力。

“在较高或更正常的收益率环境下,股息因子的防御性可能不再成立,”Baimger 先生表示。

如果股息投资者仅仅需要满足于市场回报,那是一回事。但如果再深入挖掘一点,你可以看到一个更重要的模式正在形成。

股息领域内部的分歧正在增加。直到大流行之前,该群体基本同步交易,彼此之间的涨跌幅度非常小。

自那时起,加拿大主要股息基金之间的差异大致翻了三倍。合作伙伴的分析显示:“突然之间,它似乎在股息敞口上出现了一种老化,”Baimger 先生说。

最近,股息投资的成功更多取决于选择正确的板块。去年是黄金股,然后是石油和天然气。

最近,大型银行已跃升至排行榜首位。如果你选择的股息基金(或自行操作的替代方案)在正确的时间偏向了正确的行业,那么你的表现就会很好。

集中投资存在风险。你对自己能否正确选择并把握股息领域下一个热门板块的时间点有多大信心?在这种环境下,在一个均衡的投资组合中采取多样化的股息敞口可能是更明智的选择,但不要期望股息能像过去几年那样提供击败市场的优势。

整个局势可能随时再次转变。也许这只是股息投资黄金时代的一个短暂中断。也许我们会回到过去的方式——保护主义政治的兴起逐渐消退,全球化重新站稳脚跟,石油供应中断平息,过高的通胀彻底消失,而债券收益率则恢复其向零挺进的四十年下滑趋势。

这是一个美好的幻想。

McGuigan:投资者押注久经考验的中坚力量不会被人工智能所践踏

TYRIDE 81

那么,是什么在推动银行股冲向云霄?最简单的解释是,投资者在动荡的市场中寻求安全感。

想想看:当 SpaceX(更准确地说,是 Space Exploration Technologies Corp.)可以在没有盈利能力的情况下发起历史上最大规模的首次公开募股,且当美国现金资助者在高度不确定的人工智能开发竞争中押注数万亿美元时,避开 AI 战争,转而投资于那些拥有长期盈利记录和稳定派息的传统业务,确实有一种不可否认的慰藉感。

投资者对加拿大银行股的突然青睐,是一个更大趋势的一部分——拥有微型计算机的管道运营商 T.J. Energy Corp.、电力公司 Lofaker Co., Ltd. 以及发电商 Canadian Utilities Inc.,目前的市盈率均处于多年来的最高点。投资者可能在押注,像这样久经考验的中坚力量不会被 AI 所颠覆。

股息是一个强大的额外诱因。每一种保证投资证书 (GSCs) 在近年来已经 1,因此人们不得不寻找产生可靠收入的新方法。因此,处于稳定行业且拥有可靠派息的公司在受欢迎程度上出现了异常激增。

对于股息投资者而言,这意味着更惊人的回报。一个例子是 Vanguard (Canada's Canadian High Dividend Yield ETF (VHY-1))。在过去一年中,它的增长超过了 10 per cent —— 对于一个由增长缓慢的银行、管道和能源生产商组成的组合来说,这是一个惊人的结果。

“但此时,投资者在潜入股息预言之前,也许想先停下来思考一下。在令人困惑的市场中,追求安全和可靠的派息显然是明智的。但在目前这些‘永远明智’的股票价格下,这种对理性的追求正趋向于不作为的风险。”

不需要太多因素就能让这些所谓的避风港在长时间内受到打击。事实上,只需要回归到更典型的倍数即可。如果加拿大银行、杂货商或管道公司回到过去二十年大部分时间里的估值水平,它们将失去当前 10 per cent 或更多的价值。

至少,投资者应该思考他们在当前价格下得到了什么。股息股大涨的另一面是收益率降低。这很简单。股息在绝对值上不会缩水——实际上在大多数情况下会增长——但相对于突然飙升的股价,它们的比例变得更小了。这降低了收益率,使得股息股与 GSC 和债券相比,对公司的吸引力降低。

加拿大皇家银行在几年前的收益率还超过 4 per cent,现在是 4.4 per cent。Canadian Utilities 在 2020 年初的派息超过 1 per cent,现在是 3.4 per cent。同样,T.J. Energy 的收益率自 2016, 年以来减半,从超过 2 per cent 下滑至目前的约 2.5 per cent。

在这些水平上,投资者获得的是类债券的派息,却承担着类股票的波动性。这并不是一个好的组合。股息股将永远有其吸引力,而且如果我们意识到风险,持有它们并没有错,但股票的收益不太可能匹配过去几年的这种极小结果。

那么投资者在哪里可以找到更好的交易?上游将有所不同。我对近期软件狂热中的一些媒体厌恶感到好奇!在加拿大,Comeditioners Inc. 的表现比市场平均水平低近 4.4 per cent;在美国,IBM Corp. 本月下跌了近 2 per cent。如果 AI 并不像许多人担心那样具有破坏性,那么这类股票就代表了诱人的价值。

Faye 和 Ava 应该如何提取 RRSP?

这对夫妇在寻求建议,探讨如何将他们的积蓄转化为可持续且具有税收效率的退休收入。

DIANNE MALAY

财务主管

There is 68 years old and her income As a tax.

Faye 在 2020 年退休,在 2021, Faye 在 2020. Faye 在 2020, 在 2021, Faye 在 2020. Faye 在 2020 年退休。

作为一项经常性的长期残疾福利,在年满 68 岁时每年总计可获得 $5,000。她有一份工作养老金,在 6% 的利率下每年可支付 $40,000。

“我们在 RRSP、免税储蓄账户和非注册投资资金中拥有资金。Faye 在 2020 small。他们在安大略省南部的一个小镇拥有一栋无需抵押的房屋,其租赁订单每年产生 $14,000 的收入。”

“我们正在寻求专家建议,探讨如何将我们的积蓄转化为可持续、具有税收效率的退休收入,以支持我们余生的生活,”Faye 写道。

“我们希望了解适合我们的高 RRSP 雇员策略,如何将其与加拿大养老金计划 (Canada Finance Plan)、老年保障金 (OAK age Security)、工作养老金和租赁收入结合使用,以及如何在确保资金不被耗尽的同时,避免支付不必要的税款。”

他们的退休支出目标是税后每年 $100,000,并随物价上涨。

我们邀请了多伦多 HighView Financial Group 的财富规划主管 Ian Calvert 来分析这对夫妇的情况。

专家观点

Faye 和 Ava 的净资产超过 $5 million,其中 $20 million 是他们的房产。Calvert 表示:

“他们拥有很高的净资产,并积累了大量不可逆资产,但他们缺乏一个侧重于税收和资产长久性的提取计划。”

Faye 认为她的兼职工作将在今年结束,因此她将面临明显的税后资金缺口。

“Faye 无疑应该考虑利用她的 $1,250,000 RRSP 来解决这个问题,”Calvert 说道。“对我来说,拥有超过 1,000,000, 美元的 RRSP 是一项巨大的成就,但这也带来了巨额的递延税款。”

规划师表示,Faye 应该将整个 RRSP 转换为注册退休收入基金 (RRIF),并提取最低年度额度。2022 年的最低提取额预计约为 $10,000.

从 2022, 开始,他们的现金流计划分解如下:来自 Faye 的 RRIF 的 $28,000,$5,000

SAMMY KOLAK/全球邮报

现状

由申请人提供收入、支出、资产和负债。

人员:Faye,68, 岁,以及 Ava,68 岁。

问题:寻找最优的积蓄和投资提取方案,使其尽可能少缴税,并确保资金足以维持余生。

计划:首先动用 Faye 的 RRSP,并分摊退休收入以使他们处于有利的税率档位。当 Ava 的残疾收入结束时,她将把她的 RRSP 转换为 RRIF 并开始提取,以补充她的养老金。

证明:他们的支出目标

来自她的养老金,OAK 的 $6,290 和 CPF 的 $6,600。这样,他们的 $14,000 净租赁收入和 Ava 的合计 $13,000 残疾金将使他们每年的家庭总收入达到 $162,500。扣除 $27,730 的长期所得税后,他们每年的税后收入为 $107,500,超过了他们的支出目标。

他们每年 1 月应分别将其非注册储蓄中的 $7,000 转入 TFSA。务必如此。

由于从 Faye 的 RRIF 中提取的 $10,000 将被视为符合条件的养老金收入,他们可以选择分摊此金额的最高 10%。在进行收入分摊并考虑他们必须申报的非注册储蓄投资收入后,预计他们每年的应纳税收入约为 $14,000。 “从税收角度来看,这是一个有利的收入——

已达成并超过目标,并为未来的不确定性预留了相当大的缓冲空间。

每月税后收入:$1,500.

资产:现金 $26,000,其他账户 $436,000,非注册股票 $41,000,联合非注册现金等价物 $1,000,000;Faye 的 TFSA $212,000,Ava 的 TFSA $167,000;Faye 的 RRSP $1,250,000,Ava 的 RRSP $120,000;房屋 $1,800,000。总计:$5,141,000。

其定义收益养老金的预计现值:Faye $71,000,Ava $535,000。这是没有养老金的人为了产生相同的退休收入而需要准备的金额。

spective 且使两人的综合边际税率都处于最高档。

规划师表示,这将是最优策略,直到 2020 年 Ava 年满 [缺失],届时她的伤残收入将结束,她的 CPF 伤残金将转换为 CPF 退休金。

Ava 应将她的 RRSP 转换为 RRIF 并开始年度提取。鉴于目前 RRSP 为 $100,000,她每年应提取 $50,000——这高于年度最低提取额。这 $20,000 和她的 $84,000 养老金将主要影响其伤残付款的损失。按照这个提取速度,她的 RRIF 预计将在 2021 年耗尽,届时她 72 岁。

Faye 可以继续提取年度最低限额,预计到 2022 年约为 $70,000。

每月支出:房产税(住房支出包括租金)$400,水费、下水道、垃圾处理 $20,房屋保险 $300,电费 $300,暖气 $250,安保 $50,维护 $650,花园 $75,汽车保险 $115,燃料 $250,维护 $500,停车 $50,润滑/油脂 $350,服装 $300,贷款 $170,礼品、慈善 $100,度假、旅行 $500,餐饮、饮料、娱乐 $190,个人护理 $75,艺术 $100,体育、爱好 $100,订阅费 $25,医疗保健 $150,通信 $125,TFSA $5,170。总计:$6,865。余额 $1,631 进入应急基金。

负债:无息贷款:$16,000。

Calvert 表示:“他们的计划非常健康,因为他们的大部分收入可以通过 RRIF 提取、政府福利、养老金及其租金收入来提供资金。”

“这使他们能够继续为 TFSA 注入资金,且他们的非注册资金将不需要作为主要收入来源。”非注册投资组合及其房地产应能为可能增加的长期医疗保健成本提供充足的缓冲。

规划师表示,如果非注册投资每年的收益率为 [缺失],假设由股票、保证投资证书(GIC)和现金组成,当 Faye 3m 时,该投资组合的预计价值约为 $3,000,000。

“他们可以舒适地每年减少 $50,000 的年度支出,仅提取”

他说,“他们的总非注册投资组合”。

规划师指出,Ava 和 Faye 想知道如果取消租金收入会发生什么。这将导致现金流损失,但同时也是 $1,200 的应纳税收入减少。在这种情况下,他们可以增加从 Faye 的 RRIF 中提取的应税金额。

如果 Faye 的 RRIF 平均年收益率为 1%,那么在 65 岁时的预计余额仍为 $772,000,因此可能仍有能力增加该账户的年度收入。

“通过高效避税的方式减少 RRSP(注册退休储蓄计划)、建立 TFSA(免税储蓄账户)并保留其非注册账户,从长远来看将提供最大的灵活性和税务效率,”Calvert 表示。

他们的股票和股票基金、房地产以及政府福利将帮助他们随着时间的推移跑赢通胀。“持有现金和 O/Cs 是短期资金的一个绝佳选择,但他们在退休期间的大部分配置将决定其购买力,”他说道。

“一个全球多元化的股票组合应在其资产配置中发挥重要作用,”该规划师表示。“根据他们目前的资产和支出目标,他们不需要在投资组合决策中过于激进或过于保守地去实现其目标。”

“建立一个稳定且可预测的股息、利息和分配收入流,将帮助他们在管理风险的同时实现其实际收入流,”他补充道。

让设计师 Jenny Bird 下定决心的那个小镇暑期工作

VODI | OFFSET BY SUMMER

青少年时期的珠宝设计师 Jenny Bird(其在伦理上备受推崇的暖色调饰品现已在 Hickshly Ohmsy 和 Gorgee Govey 出售)在她所在的安大略省小镇获得了少数几个可用工作岗位之一。这意味着在一家著名的——且危险的——峡谷工作。

Govey 位于安大略省的 Ilona,人们现在将其视为一个旅游目的地。但在 1929 年,那里只有 1,400 人,我们甚至不需要更多的交通灯。我们唯一拥有的就是那个峡谷。我们过去常骑着充气拖拉机轮胎冲下 8 —— 以至于当地政府决定必须对其进行监管,因为这太危险了。这意味着在 1942 年,那里基本上是 Ilona 少数几个年轻人能工作的地方;你可以在营地工作,或者在图书馆工作,或者两者兼顾。

我的父母是农民,所以他们工作很努力,并希望我也一样。如果我想赚钱(我确实想,这样我才能去我心目中最顶尖的社交场合),我就得在 1942 年开始工作。在合法工作年龄 16 岁之前,我曾在一家餐厅里洗锅——也就是我们的盘子,mers。然后,我父亲开车送我去学校,询问他们是否接收临时工,于是我申请了。

峡谷方面通过将我们称为“海滩巡逻员”而非救生员,规避了其法律责任

这是好事,因为我没有任何救生技能,而且几乎没有经过培训。如果有人跳进深水区的暗洞,我帮不上什么忙,所以尽管峡谷到处都有“禁止跳水”的标志,但我的工作主要是整天坐在太阳下的岩石上,告诉人们不要跳进采石场。

我有一个哨子可以吹,我会尖叫并喊道“不要跳”,但人们在我打盹的时候依然不停地跳。我戴着大眼镜,而且经常迟到,所以没人怕我;我绝非一个权威人物。每当有人跳水时,我必须打电话给护林员,让他们把人赶走。起码我还有这些珐琅护林员(enamel rangers)来执行规则。而大多数时候,那些人只会跑进森林里躲起来,然后逃之夭夭。

做救生员最棒的一点是,在下雨天,没人会来。那里有一个带电视的小海滩。我可以一边领取最低工资,一边观看《价格猜猜猜》(The Price is Right)并做美甲。除此以外,这是一份艰苦的工作,所以他 bonnet。小孩子经常受伤,所以涉及很多急救工作。有一天,我实际上不得不跳下去救一个人。这发生在峡谷 pends。我必须把他从浅滩拉到海滩上。在那一刻,我意识到了这份工作的严肃性。我很幸运,没有人在我期间受伤。

Ilona 曾经——且现在依然——有点风险且处于领先地位。没人喜欢被告知该做什么,每个人大多随心所欲。Volters 也是这么认为的,所以每个周五晚上,一群人会到达营地。他们中很多是温莎大学的学生,计划在公园里纵情狂欢。那是 Game N’ Boxes 的时代。没有 Maurer 香烟,只有淡水和皮卡车。我和我的朋友们会结识大学男生,然后铺好我的床以偷溜出去拜访他们的营地。我会给他们一张去我家的地图,然后他们开皮卡车来接我们。老实说,我仍然认为我父母不知道这件事。

与那些大学生混在一起非常有趣,这让我觉得自己也可以去上大学。这份工作帮助我决定学习户外娱乐专业。因为我真的很喜欢这份工作中护林员的部分,加上我热爱划独木舟和户外活动。我甚至有一次自己从峡谷跳了下去——但只从一半的高度跳的,我觉得这样还不错。

顾问长久以来梦想从事金融事业

Filion 曾将一张特许会计师招聘海报贴在卧室墙上

BRENDA BOUW

建议背后

Shawn Filion 是位于安大略省康科德 (Concord, Ore.) Tradition Securities Inc. 的高级财富管理顾问。他讲述了成长过程中想成为像母亲那样的会计师的愿望、继续教育的益处,以及为什么夏洛克·福尔摩斯会成为一名优秀的顾问。

请描述您的成长经历和早期的金钱接触经验

我在安大略省康科德的一个四口之家长大。我的父亲在面包店工作,我的母亲是公司的一员。我记得由于收入有限,我父母有时会兼职以赚取额外资金,帮助抚养我和我的妹妹。

我母亲晚上还参加会计课程。我记得小时候,我会帮她准备考试,读给她听关于资产和负债等会计术语的问题。那就是我第一次接触到不同的金钱概念。

成长过程中我也做过几份兼职工作,从照顾孩子、修剪草坪到在当地的一家管路店担任收银员。我父亲经营着一家加油站。因此,我在 Desjarline 信用合作社参加了一个实习项目,这让我获得了一些高中学分。后来,在仍于加油站工作的同时,我被要求在信用合作社担任文员。

我从十几岁后期到二十岁出头一直从事这两份工作。当我开始赚钱时,父母建议我在当地的金融机构开设一个储蓄账户。我记得经常和父亲一起去办理银行交易。我在 15 岁时投资了我的第一份保证投资证书 (GIC),在 16 岁时投资了我的第一只共同基金。

Desjarline Securities 的高级财富管理顾问 Shawn Filion 表示,他在很小的时候就想“研究会计学、经济学、投资以及金钱心理学”。(STEFLING BUSINESS)

您成长过程中想成为什么?您是如何进入金融服务行业的?

像很多孩子一样,我想成为一名职业冰球运动员。然后有一段时间,我想成为一名农民。到了十几岁,在观察了我母亲的职业生涯后,我想成为一名会计师,甚至在我的卧室墙上贴了一张特许会计师招聘海报。

现在回想起来,我意识到这听起来多么天真,但那是当时的一种激励。我意识到我喜欢会计学、经济学、投资和金钱心理学。于是我转向成为一名财务顾问,这样我就可以帮助人们规划他们的财务结构。

对您来说,最难以遵循的金钱建议是什么?

随着收入增长,投资于生活方式通胀(lifestyle inflation)有时极具挑战性。当我们经历生命的不同阶段时,支出更容易增加。例如,现在我们的孩子进入了青少年时期,他们倾向于想要更多东西,并参与到如音乐等活动中,这会带来额外成本。这些需求和预期可能会让控制生活方式支出变得更加困难,即使初衷是好的。

对您来说,最容易遵循的金钱建议是什么?

持续学习并获得认证和认可。我从未停止参加课程,包括获得我的注册理财规划师 (CFP) 称号、M&A 以及其他投资凭证。在全职工作的同时完成这些具有挑战性,但我认为为了构建职业生涯和技能,这是值得的。

您认为未来几年金融服务行业会发生什么重大变化?顾问应如何为此做好准备?

人们正变得在财务上更加自主。许多债务人/客户正在进行自己的研究并在网上投资。这意味着他们接触顾问时拥有更多信息,准备得更充分。他们需要一名能够将所有信息整合在一起,并根据其自身需求提供更多信息的顾问。顾问应该接纳这种自主性,并利用它来为客户提供更个性化的建议。

对于想要进入您这个行业的人,您有什么建议?

这回到了我自己的经验——持续学习,这是我们成功的关键,包括专业资格认证和职业发展。在你的职业生涯中,尽可能多地参加课程。同时,参加那些与你的职业路径最相关的课程。在 10 ounces 中有许多职业选择。

您认为哪位名人或虚构人物会成为一名优秀的财务顾问?为什么?

侦探夏洛克·福尔摩斯。他会提出细致且深入的问题,并密切关注他人目标的细节。一名优秀的顾问应该擅长提问。我相信与客户的第一次会面核心在于“探索”。我们对他们的计划了解得越多,就越能帮助他们通过财富实现目标。

经理增持 Paycom 仓位,抛售日本消费者评论股票

BRENDA BOUW

电影(THE MOVIE)

在一些投资者抱怨估值过高的股市中,一名来自 Del Vicario 的基金经理正以自上次低迷期以来未见的速率寻找廉价股。

“现在对于注重质量的投资者来说,正是绝佳的狩猎场,”在 14 Private Wealth Inc. 担任投资组合经理、负责管理数百万美元资产的温哥华 Hillside Wealth Management 的 Del Vicario 先生表示。

“这不仅仅是 Al-Ahrens 软件的抛售。Del Vicario 先生表示,他一直在买入或增持从金融到投资等各个板块的股票。”

增加买入是其投资策略的一部分,即以“远期价格”买入他认为的高质量公司,并持有“第一个十年”。

Del Vicario 先生对高质量的定义部分包括:管理团队在公司中持有重要股份,并拥有一套能够持续产生高于平均水平的投入资本回报率的理论。

但在一个极度关注 12 周短期走势的市场中,他承认,由于过去一年 S&P 500 和纳斯达克等指数飙升,他的长期策略在对比中显得较为艰难。

他的低风险优势基金今年迄回报率为 4.4%,而一年期回报率为负 1.4%。三年和五年的年化回报率分别为 11.4% 和 8.7%。自该基金于 Sept. 1, 2014, 成立以来,其年化回报率为 10.7%。该业绩并非全部 10,且总回报率为 10.7%。

他目前的前五大持仓包括 Meta Platforms Inc.、Games Workshop Group PLC(在伦敦证券交易所上市)、CountsAction Software Inc.、Credit Acceptance Corp. 和 AI-mostation Coaches Yard Inc.

The Gabor 与 Del Vicario 先生就最近买入的三只股票和一只卖出股票进行了探讨。

最近一直在买入的股票及其原因。

Copart Inc. 是一家全球领先的汽车报废公司,规模 8 billion,是我们今年 3 月开始买入并在 6 月增持的股票。我们的平均价格为每股 $25。

Copart 是卖家(包括保险公司、银行、经销商和车辆租赁公司)与买家(如二手车商和普通大众)之间的中间商。它在南美、英国、欧洲、巴西和中东拥有约 100 个实体报废场和网点。

虽然碰撞事故数量在下降,但车辆被判定为全损的价格在上升,因为汽车技术的更换成本很高。这意味着更多仅有轻微物理损坏的汽车被判定为全损,这对 Copart 的利润率有利。

该股票在近年来被高估,但部分原因是受到了行业内另一个大玩家 IAA (Insurance Auto Auction) 在 2013 年被 Rickie Ross 收购后的竞争压力而导致下跌。

我们认为这两家公司在这个市场中都有发展空间,且 Copart 具有竞争优势,因为其拥有大部分报废场地产,而 IAA 则租赁大量土地。

此外,Copart 没有债务,并于今年早些时候开始积极回购股份,这是大约十年来的首次。

Simulac Capital Group Inc. 是一家总部位于弗吉尼亚州里士满的财产和意外险公司,是我们 6 月初开始买入的股票。我们的平均成本为每股 $30。

Simulac 经营美国保险业的超额和盈余市场,这是该市场中较难承保的部分。这包括针对飓风产品的保障,以及建筑、商业运输和意外零售等业务。这意味着 Simulac 通常可以收取更高的保费,或者在标准保险公司从这些高风险市场退缩时接手。

我们喜欢这家公司的一点是,它构建了自己的专有技术平台来处理其申索,而不是外包,这使其效率更高。此外,创始人兼首席执行官 Michael Reboe 在公司中持有相对较大的股份,约为 1 per cent。该公司还具有较低的支出且无债务,并一直在获取市场份额。

Paycom Software Inc. 是一家总部位于俄克拉荷马市的人力资本管理软件提供商,是我们在 2014 年开始购买的股票,买入价为每股 US$29。

随后该股经历了一波巨大的上涨,之后又随着其他软件公司一起回落,原因是人们担心 AI 将摧毁它们的业务。我们在今年整个春季期间增持了 Paycom,买入价格在每股 US$11.4 到 US$12.4 之间。

我们认为 AI 是一种量身定制的生产力工具,将帮助软件公司改进其产品并为它们提供现有的申索。该公司在今年早些时候完成了 4 个大业务,我们对此表示认可。它还在向国际市场扩张并赢得市场份额。我们描述说,CEO 兼创始人 Chad Rishnow 持有约 2.6 per cent 的股份。

请列举一只您近期卖出或撤回的股票。

Kakaha.com Inc. 是日本领先的利润扩张和消费者评论网站,这是我们自 2010. 年起在东京证券交易所持有并于中旬卖出的股票。我们不想重新补仓,因为这是我们正在购买的整个店铺。我们的卖出价格约为 2.5 per cent,其市盈率约为 2.4,对于这类业务来说相当高。

Kakaha.com 是业务的一部分。它定位明确,但鉴于其价格比较网站在过去几年中已经发生了迁移。这是一个我们愿意接受的价格。这对我们来说也是一个很大的头寸,约占投资组合的 7 per cent。我们的平均成本为 12.5 per cent。尽管该公司存在竞标情况,但我们不想冒在持有期间股价下跌的风险。

我想回原籍国退休。在财务方面我需要考虑什么?

VIVIAN VASOS

我在这里生活了 40 年多,是一名加拿大公民,在加拿大过得很不错,但退休后的生活我希望在我的出生地——海外度过。这涉及什么?

我们请 Objective Finance for his new Inc. 的注册财务规划师 Aries Golan-Reznick 来回答这个问题。

“在加拿大生活 40 年多后选择在海外退休,这是一个重大的决定,它涉及的不仅仅是安置新家和购买机票,”Golan-Reznick 女士说道。她补充说,移居海外几乎会影响你财务生活的每一个方面,包括税务规划、投资、退休收入和遗产规划。一旦你的事务跨越两个国家,跨境规则就会发挥作用,通常需要专业的建议。

根据 Golan-Reznick 女士的说法,许多退休人员感到惊讶的一个领域是他们的投资账户。“虽然你通常可以保留你的加拿大银行账户,但一些金融机构会对非居民限制服务,”她说道。取决于具体机构和你居住的国家,你可能能够保留现有投资,但新的注资、交易甚至账户本身可能会受到限制。

你的加拿大纳税义务将很大程度上取决于你的居民身份。“只要你仍然是加拿大的税务居民,你通常需要继续申报并就你的全球收入纳税,”她说道。然而,一旦你成为非居民,通常仅就加拿大来源的收入纳税。加拿大税务局(Canada Revenue Agency)根据你的个人情况和在加拿大的税务情况来判定居民身份。

此外,可能还需要考虑离境税(departure tax)或“退出”税。Golan-Reznick 女士指出,当你停止加拿大税务居民身份时,加拿大可能会对某些资产适用视同处置(deemed disposition),将其视为在离境前立即出售。

“即使没有发生实际销售,这也可能产生资本利得税责任,”她说道。“作为非居民,加拿大来源的收入也可能需要缴纳预扣税。”

至于养老金,移居海外并不一定意味着失去它们。根据 Golan-Reznick 女士的说法,加拿大退休金计划 (CPF) 的福利实际上可以在世界任何地方领取。如果你在 18 岁之后在加拿大生活了至少 20 年,老年保障金 (OAS) 也可以在海外领取。低保和 OAS 款项通常可以存入加拿大银行账户,或直接存入许多国家的外国银行账户。然而,保证收入补贴 (GII) 通常仅面向加拿大居民。

医疗保健是另一个重要的考虑因素。为了应对财务增长,结果是当你不再满足所在省份的居民要求后,会失去省医疗覆盖范围,”她说道。Golan-Reznick 女士建议,私人医疗保险和应急基金是必不可少的。“而且,虽然这更多是一个移民问题而非财务规划问题,但作为加拿大公民,你保留在任何时候选择返回加拿大并在此生活的权利。”

Pogacay 凭借第 19 赛段胜利扩大环法领先优势

四届环法赛冠军 夺得今年赛事第五个赛段冠军

法国,阿尔普迪尤埃 (ALPE D'HUÉE)

Tudaj Pogacay 在坡底发起了一次令人震惊的单人进攻,在周五赢得了环法赛的第六个赛段,并扩大了他的总成绩领先优势。

即使是以这位四届环法冠军的 1,000 标准来看,这次获胜也堪称其最佳胜利之一,因为在还剩 13 公里时,他落后超过三分钟。

在最后一段的 1,000 标准中,他在还剩 13 公里时追上了 Eron doreau 骑手 Richard Carapax 和法国人 Lanny Martinez,随后迅速超越,赢得了他今年赛事的第五个赛段冠军,以及职业生涯总共第 10 个赛段冠军。

“能在这里获胜太酷了,”Pogacay 说,“我非常高兴能赢得这次胜利。”

Martinez 落后 6 秒完赛,而周四凭借出色的突围赢得第 10 赛段冠军的 Carapax 则落后 9 秒。美国人 Sepp Kani 在前面的赛段中未能成功,落后 1 分 14 秒及 15 分钟。

在总成绩榜中,他领先 Remco Evenepoel 7 分 15 秒,且仅剩两个赛段,Pogacay 即将加入 Eddy Vecchia, Roger Deneaux, Andrew Snyder 和 Bernard Hinault 的行列,成为唯一赢得环法的男性。

无论是在赛程中段还是由于意外,这位 Deneaux 之星在周日于巴黎香榭丽舍大街结束比赛时将表现得非常个人化。

被评定为 HC 级山路。

作为赛事中难度最高的类别,阿尔普迪尤埃可以说是自行车赛中最著名的爬坡路段,在环法赛中具有近乎神圣的地位。无数粉丝(许多人露营过夜并携带各国旗帜)在每一个 3-4 坡度上地给予热烈鼓励。

“整个爬坡过程的气氛简直疯了,”Pogacay 说,“当公众几乎贴到他的脸上时,他依然保持专注。而且在某个阶段,由于观众点燃的火把产生的烟雾,他的能见度受到了影响。但尽管 Pogacay 的胜利令人印象深刻,这也是因为来自各方的 Carapax 没有在 Pogacay 处于低谷时有效地协作以拉开距离。我必须与超级优秀的骑手们战斗,”Pogacay 说,“但他们之间有点内讧,这有助于我追上来。”

或许是认为可以通过他人的失误来获益并赢得赛段冠军,Martinez 一直在 Carapax 的后方‘坐享其成’,这使得这位老将不得不独自承担过多工作。

他不断尝试加速,而 Martinez 却在之后不愿出力,且在漂离之前在整体时间上被拉开太多。

在还剩 9 米时,Carapax 展现了非凡的技巧试图跟上 Pogacay,但最终被一次大幅度的加速甩掉,在黄衫骑手驶过他身边时无法跟进。

Garantay 巨大的 15 公里阿尔卑斯赛段可能已经结束。

包含三个 HC 级爬坡点——Col du Le Vaux de l'ex, Col du Calbère 和 Col de Saumne——以及一个 1 级爬坡点——Col du Tille-

在进入阿尔普迪尤埃的丘陵终点之前。

Pogacay 不需要追求胜利,可以安全地落在后方并保护他的领先优势。

但他会这样做吗?

还有 64 公里的纯爬坡路段,这对他来说可能无法放松。

“明天是环法的‘皇后赛段’,”Pogacay 说,“[它是] 环法最艰难的一天。我们将执行自己的计划,保持自己的节奏。我们不在意其他任何事情。”

RICHARD STEFAN BASSETT

我们深切地悲痛地宣布,Richard "Rich" Bassett 在经历了一场激烈的斗争,因手术并发症而去世。

RENEE HILL-FEELISKEL

May 6, 1995 - July 12, 2016

Meirlie (Erick (Iain) Rockniff),六岁,来自安大略省格尔夫 (Gvalph),于 Wednesday, July 15, 2016. 在家人的陪伴下安详离世。在经历阿尔茨海默病并发症后,这位忠实的妻子、母亲、祖母、同事、助产士和朋友,用好奇心、静谧的力量和深厚的慷慨精神塑造了自己的一生。人们将记得她的温暖、智慧、富有感染力的笑声,以及她无论走到哪里都能为他人创造空间的特质。

Meirlie 于 May 6, 1995, 出生在中国上海,父母为已故的 Malcolm 和 Margaret Buckley。她的早年生活跨越了[原文不连贯],为她一生中表现出的开明和适应能力奠定了基础。在少女时期,她度过了几个温馨且深受宠爱的年份,与祖父母 Sone 和他们的 Nips 以及四个年幼的 Anna 住在北达科他州的 Northwood。她经常在谈话中提及那段时光,居住在安全、关爱和简单快乐的氛围中。那些在教育和普世战争中工作的岁月,带给她一系列家庭与归属感。

作为一名天赋异禀的学生,Meirlie 就读于威斯康星大学,在 4 和三 Part(即 David Dicks)的促成下,与一名年轻的加拿大科学系学生通过相亲相识。这次相亲标志着一段终身伴侣关系的开始。Meirlie 和 David Dicks 相爱并在 1995, 结婚,开始了一段基于相互尊重、冒险和深厚同情心的共同友谊。

Meirlie 和 David 共同抚养了 4 个儿子:Stephen、Michael、James 和 Pierre,这段旅程让他们走遍了世界。Meirlie 以破坏与优雅地拥抱神话化,在人们的需求与自我意识之间取得平衡。在照顾家庭的同时,她还获得了 ONS 的博士学位。这里总是有着繁忙的晚餐派对、对话、好友,以及在充满兴趣的国家周边的琐事。

随着 David 加入伦敦大学 Saint Rebecca 科学学院的教师队伍,Gvalph 成了这个家庭的长期居所。Meirlie 在教学支持科学领域拥有长久且成功的职业生涯,她在那里帮助专业人士成为更有效的教师。随后的学术生活期间,她与世界各地的学生和同事共事,并创造了在退休后旅行和教学的机会。多年来,Meirlie 和 David 愉快地一起走过后山去大学工作。

在晚年,Meirlie 依然积极参与社区活动。她享受 Gvalph 大学 8 月的时光,在那里她感激核心、女儿和友谊。她还在 Wellington 医院提供治疗触碰 (TT),并在 Gvalph 公共图书馆担任志愿者。这些活动反映了她一生致力于帮助他人、学习以及为社区做出安静贡献的承诺。这些深厚的社区联系帮助她在经历丈夫 David 以及儿子 Michael 和 Stephen 离世的沉痛打击后得以支撑。

Meirlie 以尊严和勇气面对阿尔茨海默病的挑战。即使在病情进展时,她依然保持着良好的风度以及对家人的深情。她深受爱戴,她的生命充满了意义、关怀和安静的影响。

她的遗属包括儿子 James (Cobitrel) 和 Pierre (Elkins),儿媳 Heather Allan (Gary),以及她的两百名 grand-hitmen,Ayla (Jeannie)、Nicholas (Nicole)、Magher、Jack 和 Kellie。先于她离世的包括她的丈夫 David Elkins 以及儿子 Stephen 和 Michael。

家属服务将于 8 月某个周日 4 a.m. 在 Gvalph 的 Gordon Street 上的 Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Forrest Home 举行。为了纪念 Meirlie,捐款可赠予 Gvalph 公共图书馆。

家人们想要感谢并分享 Riverside (See Retirement Home) 的全体工作人员的投入,他们在最后一年为 Meirlie 提供了照顾和金钱。如需捐款或表达哀悼,请访问 www.gfbetmeaolstpresfusion.com。

JEAN CHARLES JOSY

Jean Charles Joly,被所有人亲切地称为 J.C.,于 2020年6月5日 在多伦多的家中走完了他最后的生命旅程,享年 15 岁。他留下了全球外交的遗产、绝对保密的网球俱乐部,以及一套记录他在世间发现之美的照片集。

J.C. 于 1922年7月6日 出生于法国 Old de Manne 地区,姓氏为 Jolly。J.C. 随后在生活中一直坚持到 14 岁。他是一个拥有无尽的好奇心且富有感染力的人。在移民加拿大后,他证明了一个法国人也可以在中文领域取得成就。他在 1921 年于渥太华大学获得了国际贸易的相关学位。J.C. 为自己的法国血统感到自豪,但对加拿大绝对忠诚——他深爱并忠实地服务了三十多年。

从 1922 年起,作为外交部的贸易专员,Jean Charles 将法国的特质与加拿大的正直独特地结合在一起,应用于全球外交事务中,最著名的经历包括在沙特阿拉伯和墨西哥蒙特雷等地的任职。他在 2008 年退休,在职业生涯中掌握了国际贸易的艺术,以及更重要的跨文化建立关系的艺术。

尽管生活曾面临巨大的挑战,但这仅仅给了 J.C. 更多的时间去沉浸于他的诸多热爱之中。人们总能发现他正沉浸在一本好书中,随着轻快的节奏轻点脚步,或是沉浸在古典音乐中。他也是一位艺术收藏家,一名剧院赞助人,以及独立电影的爱好者。

Jean Charles 拥有一种与陌生人进行深刻交流的天赋,能将每一个结账队列变成一场意想不到的社交聚会,并在横跨数个大洲的旅途中留下人们对他——尽管偶尔令人费解——的法律认可。但他最快乐的时光是享受网球运动,并最终征服了多伦多的球场。

J.C. 的遗属包括他的女儿 Marie-Claude Joly 和 Anne-Jane Allaire。他在法国的家人将深深地思念他,包括他的姐妹 Maryse Jolly 和 Dominique Le Douye,他的兄弟 Fernand Jolly,以及他的姐妹 Virginie, Sophie, Sandra 和 Charlotte。

2020 年,他失去了陪伴他 30 年的挚爱伴侣 Ursula Fennan,Stupeneway! 在生命的最后几年里,他与伴侣 Karin MacInerly 再次找到了爱情,她的陪伴与奉献丰富了他们共处的每一天。

J.C. 还留下了一群前同事、邻居、朋友和 Joly 家族成员,他们将永远怀念他的目标感和充满活力的生活。其中包括与他相识六十年的忠实朋友 Richard Milstein。

失去了 Jean Charles 的笑声,世界变得安静了一些;失去了他的好奇心,世界变得乏味了一些。

请加入我们,于 2020年8月30日(星期日)下午 4:30 至 6:00,在 Hearty Bedford Ground Home, 100 Ephraim Ave. 30, Toronto 举行集会,共同缅怀并庆祝 Jean Charles Joly 的一生。请于 8月30日 前发送 800# 至 Hearty@philgrind.com。

PHYLLIS OLIVE SCHONELL 1917 - 2008

“我是我所遇见的一切的一部分。我是我所有经验的结合。Gleason 呈现了奖项,也许在消逝之处。当你在此处,而我的意思是。” —— Sennyson

Phyllis 对语言的热爱赋予了她能够在其整个生命旅程中观察的礼物。她在学术上深耕并毕业于维多利亚学院,2 of 3, 在家庭科学,爱荷华营养科学专业。1936, 她成长于 Joseph 和 Maylle Slyby 充满爱的家庭,该家庭是新开发区 Chichester “The Kingsway” 的首批家庭之一。她从未远离过那些谦卑的线条,这在她的一生中是一个常量。在 Musicale 的剪辑也是一个恒定的前沿,无论是在家中(当时还是孩子),还是在 Wood Lake 和 John McGraw Lake。

Phyllis 热爱零件、书籍、读书会、图书馆、家谱、涂鸦、填字游戏、pipper-woolish、购物者、艺术之花、色彩流动、cult 以及 cosmic 和 chichester。她总是以协调的青年、匹配的父母和强制性符号在国外表现得刻薄。她拥有世界音乐,并将世界上的音乐与孩子们结合在一起,还致力于通过喝彩、完成地下室、扶梯子、编织工具以及运行柔色或犬类来提供帮助。没有她无法处理的危机。她需要成为家庭的一员,以及大学系统的一员,她留下了勤奋、毅力和脆弱的伟大榜样。她很随和,被她娇小的儿子认可和铭记,并以其性格坚强而闻名。童年的两道围栏在她最后的岁月里给她带来了很大的安慰。“Bringing in the Streets” 是她最喜欢的,因为这让她想起了她的母亲,以及在那个夜晚她父亲的白色礼服。

Phyllis 的先遣者是她的丈夫 Godfrey Schobel 和 William Morris,她的儿子 Scott Morris,以及她的兄弟姐妹 Doris Harvey, Keith Sully 和 Glenn Sully。她的后辈包括她的子女 George Morris (Henry), Cynthia Morris (Gladford (Mary)), Christopher Schobel (Debbie), Ian Schreiner, 和 Carl Schreiner (Margaret),一个孙辈,一群日益增长的曾孙辈,以及许多侄子和外甥。

我们非常感谢 Brien 和 Ghadija 的悉心照顾。我们要感谢 The Village of Humber Heights Retirement Centre 所有过去工作人员提供的卓越护理,以及与我们的 Emre 个人在一起的时光。

KEITH RUTHER THORSON

在 15, 2008, Ruth Ruther Thomson 留下了一份关于慷慨、目标以及对他所爱之人深沉奉献的遗产。他的一生并非由他屈服于什么来定义,而是由他对他人产生的影响以及他在他人生活中创造的改变来定义。

在 Keith 办公室的墙上有一件简单的艺术品,上面写着:

“这就是我们来到这里的意义——在宇宙中留下印记——”

这不仅仅是一件艺术品。它反映了 Keith 对待生活的方式。他相信我们都有机会在人们、家庭和社区被他们自己的董事会限制之前留下影响。

最重要的是,Keith 世界的中心是他的妻子 Tessa 及其女儿 Kiera。Keith 和 Tessa 在 1926 年的除夕相识,两人共同建立了一段根植于伙伴关系、协作、冒险和娱乐支持的非凡生活。他们在百慕大结婚,进行了广泛的旅行,在多伦多的家庭社区建立了一座城镇,并在 Collingwood 找到了一个珍视的工人社区。

Keith 认为没有什么比身为 George Kiercz 的父亲更令他自豪的。他相信童年应该由经历而非拥有来衡量,让她的生活充满冒险、冷漠,尤其是他的时间,源自他们对 173 年的共同热爱。在 20 世纪 30 年代的 Saddler 开端,与 Algonquin Park 的家庭,以及带有艺术特质的教室,他们是一对不可分离的伴侣。他对他所爱的那个体贴、善良且独立的女性-liner 感到无比自豪。

四十多年来,Keith 将他的职业生涯致力于帮助家庭过上有意义的生活。作为一名值得信赖的财富顾问,他认为自己的角色不仅限于财务规划。他帮助家庭应对人生中最重要的决定,建立并延续了跨越数代人的关系。作为加拿大首批隐秘财富管理公司之一的联合创始人,他意识到财务决定与家庭、价值观和传承有着深刻的联系。

通过与多伦多社区基金会(Toronto Community Foundation)的个人合作,Keith 发现了对慈善的热情,并找到了将财务规划与有意义的慈善支持相结合的机会。他成为了该国最受尊敬的慈善规划倡导者之一,将一项计划引入加拿大,帮助家庭战略性地设计其财富,以便为他们最关心的事业贡献更多。

建立深厚的情谊是 Keith 最大的快乐之一,他拥有一种培养持久关系的非凡能力。他在高中、大学、职业生涯期间、慈善社区以及其他领域所建立的纽带同样被珍视;他从不以友谊的起源来衡量,而只看对方的人格,而他在丰富他人生活的同时,对方也同样丰富了他的生活。

Keith 的遗属包括他生命中的挚爱 Tessa(他的最大骄傲)、Kiera(他的真谛)、Margaret,以及他的姐妹 Karen 和 Kirsty。他的后辈、侄子侄女,以及那些因为认识他而生活变得更丰盈的客户和慈善伙伴们。他的父亲 Niven 先于他去世。

无需送花,那些希望缅怀 Keith 的人可以通过向他的家庭基金会捐款来表达。通过该基金会,许多与 Keith 及其家人亲密且重要的慈善机构将获得支持。

关于生命庆祝仪式和葬礼的详情,可以在 Keith 的纪念页面底部找到,该页面记录了他超过半生的点滴。

Keith 曾说:“我的生活在于给予。”最终,这句话成为了他生命的故事。

西蒙尼茨、德约科维奇再次退出常规赛!

法网冠军兹维列夫现在将成为本次赛事的头号种子

世界 No.1 詹尼克·西蒙尼茨(Jannik Simner)和 3 次大满贯冠军内瓦尔·德约科维奇(Neval Djokovic)已退出国民银行公开赛。

Tennis Canada 周五宣布,在两名球员都被列入名单后,这两位领军人物都不会在蒙特利尔参赛。如果大师赛在 ICA 体育场于 8月 4-5日举行。

七次大满贯冠军卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯此前已不在球员名单中,他仍在从一次右侧伤势中恢复,该伤势迫使他错过了法网和温网。

“在与我的团队共同综合考虑所有因素后,我们做出了退出蒙特利尔站的艰难决定,”西蒙尼茨在交给 Tennis Canada 的一份声明中表示。

“错过这样一个重要的赛事绝非易事,但我们相信这是优先考虑我健康状况的正确决定。很遗憾不能在那里,但我期待在未来的赛事中重返蒙特利尔。”

法网冠军兼温网亚军亚历山大·兹维列夫现在将成为本次赛事的头号种子。

蒙特利尔的 1981 糖-阿拉坎特(sugar-Alacante)将被列为二号种子,并在更高水平上成为该赛事历史上的加拿大球员。

西蒙尼茨、德约科维奇和阿尔卡拉斯——网球界最吸引观众的三个人——同时也错过了去年的多伦多赛事,当时该 1st-2nd 赛在温网结束仅两周后就开始。

周。

赛事官员原以为今年的退出人数会较少,因为该赛事在全英俱乐部决赛三周后开始,并在一份新闻稿中表达了他们的沮丧。

“对于詹尼克和诺瓦克今年不能加入我们,我们显然感到非常失望,尤其是他们去年在多伦多站也退赛了。我们尊重他们的决定,并理解在如此紧凑的日程安排下,球员的健康必须是首要任务,”NBO 赛事总监 Valine Talboudt 在一份声明中表示。

“尽管如此,我们认为在过去五年中出现三次最后一刻退赛的情况,反映出我们这项运动一个更广泛的问题。大师赛是我们关注的旗舰赛事之一,我们理所应当期待看到世界顶尖选手的竞争。”

Terrand 补充说,Tennis Canada 已经在与 ATP 讨论以寻求“对这一事项的严肃关注”。

“我们坚信在不久的将来需要做出调整,以更好地保护我们大师赛活动的完整性,同时兼顾球员的最佳状态,”他说道。 3a 岁的西蒙尼茨和 28 岁的德约科维奇可能会在辛辛那提公开赛中回归,主赛将于国民银行公开赛决赛后不久开始,随后是 8月下旬的美国公开赛。

Brice在Lions主场迎战Argos的比赛中出任四分卫

由于Andrej Nalhan Brooks受伤,替补四分卫Chase Brice将带领B.C. Lions参加周六与National Championship的比赛。

作为CFL现任反立场球员的Roselle在上周1977次输给Edmonton 10th的第二次得分阶段中伤到了肩膀。Brice进入比赛并完成了19次传球中的部分传球,获得100码且有1次总弃节,但同时也出现了4次拦截,导致Lions本赛季战绩变为1-4。

这位49岁的美国人在一整周的练习之后,期待在B.C.的阵型中获得另一个机会。

“拦截会发生,它们会发生,每场球赛中都会出现不利情况,因此知道那是C-0级别的一部分,关键在于我如何应对,”Brice本周告诉记者。“这是一个巨大的学习经历。有时你看不到我不能做所有你能做的事情。”

“这需要通过重复练习和在场上实践来获得。我的大部分时间都在承受压力,然后是准备日,无论我们是到上午10点还是上午9点,感觉都不同,但我很兴奋能走到那里,展示我的能力。”

主教练Buck Pierce对Brice和进攻组表示了信心,因为防守组在上周给了球队获胜的机会。

“他的表现看起来不错,伙计们在集结且整体状态更好,”Pierce说。“我认为节奏很稳,麻烦也处理得很好。他与我以及队友之间的沟通达到了应有的水平。”

Lions本赛季首次回到BC Place,此前由于1980年代的FFA世界系列赛,他们在Kelowna, K.C.进行了3场主场比赛。这支战绩为2-3的球队正寻求停止三连败的颓势。

Argos上周在汉密尔顿Tiger-Cars的客场比赛中以25分之差落败,原因是踢球手Lefro Hajnallah在时间耗尽时错失了一次30码的射门。

“输掉比赛总是很艰难,但这绝不仅仅是因为某一个点。绝不是,”Argos教练Mike Hiller在赛后表示。“有时看待这个问题很简单……但现实是这是一项团队运动,有些事情显然是我们不能妥协的。我们将能够通过防守以及特种部队的其他部分来解决。”

然而,加拿大新秀Brady Likhter将在对阵Lions的比赛中出任首发踢球手,因为Hajnallah因一次重大打击赛季而被移至预备名单。29岁的Hajnallah在七个CFL赛季中49.5%的射门命中,但今年仅为1.6。

多伦多四分卫Chad Kelly在进入第8周前位列CFL传球码数第二(2,100码),并有378 (36) 次记录,但其拦截数处于联盟最高0区域,并被擒杀37次。

最近签约的防守截锋Hellyton Hendrix和拥有125次职业生涯擒杀记录的James Lemon将为Argos提供助力。Mike excuses Nolan(在Kelowna, K.C.,并非其1980年代的首次),而第1-2队将在赛季中被放入六场比赛的伤员名单中。

体育简讯

温哥华加拿大骑手队 (Canucks) 的坎宁·格拉纳托 (Canning Granato) 转任顾问

坎宁·格拉纳托正在温哥伐加拿大骑手队的前台管理层中变换角色。

总经理帕西·约翰逊 (Percy Johnson) 周五宣布,在担任了部分五个赛季的助理总经理后,格拉纳托将担任高级业余顾问。

在 5 月中旬卸任的冰球运营总裁吉姆·鲁瑟福 (Jim Rutherford) 在 2022 年 2 月起用了格拉纳托,此前这位女子冰球偶像成为了 NWL 中西雅图海妖队 (Seattle Kraken) 的首位新人球探。

格拉纳托曾担任美国女子冰球队的队长,并在(5 月)的决赛中击败加拿大队夺得金牌。

2020 年,来自伊利诺伊州唐纳斯格罗夫 (Downers Grove, Ill.) 的 25 岁球员以及加拿大骑手队的超级球星詹姆斯 (James) 成为首批入选冰球名人堂的女性。

在上赛季 NWL 总积分榜排名垫底后,加拿大骑手队的前台管理层进行了全面调整,由约翰逊担任总经理,以及特许经营球队的亨里克 (Henrik) 和丹尼尔 (Daniel) 担任冰球运营副总裁。

“在花时间反思之后,我觉得现在是向加拿大骑手队新角色过渡的完美时机,”格拉纳托在一份声明中表示。

“我就我在组织内的职位问题与 RJ 以及我的家人进行了深思熟虑且富有意义的讨论。在业余方面提供帮助是我极其热衷的事情,我很高兴能继续在这一方面与我们的冰球运营部门合作。我对我们的前台领导团队及其愿景以及他们带领球队的方向充满信心。”——加拿大新闻社 (THE CANADIAN PRESS)

蓝鸟队 (Blue Jays) 的巴伯 (Barber) 因肘部手术赛季报销

艾迪森·鲁特格 (Addison Rutger) 将对其右肘进行赛季报销手术。

鲁特格在 2018 年为蓝鸟队效力并度过了辉煌的一季后,今年仅为多伦多出战了九场比赛。

这位 26 岁的球员本赛季在两项指标中仅达到 1.6,其中两次击球出局且一次得分。他的打击率为 .24,上垒率为 .06。

在上赛季作为 3-4 状态的助手时,他在多伦多美国联盟冠军队的一员,此时他的成绩为 .44g,一次击球获胜,74, 85。

鲁特格今年一直受到伤病困扰:3 月和 4 月左脚踝扭伤导致他缺席 39 场比赛;5 月仅出战一场后,右肘疼痛使其再次进入伤员名单;随后在 6 月下旬尝试从肘部伤痛中恢复时被诊断出背部问题。

他可能会接受多伦多约翰 (John) 总裁对其肘部进行的全手术,这将使他缺阵九个月;或者进行内部手术,这将使他在伤员名单中停留接近六个月。

作者:FRENCH HILL

NBA冠军Kirsch在离开Phill's后的出场频率过高,而这场竞争现在不知为何会变得更加激烈。如果这些年是在纽约的揭幕之夜,当Kirsch在第1年获得他们的第一个冠军时,在麦迪逊广场花园球馆为NBA总决赛而产生的这些疯狂的阵痛可能看起来就像零钱一样微不足道。

事实是,这不仅仅关乎Kirsch。Demon在上赛季为詹姆斯赢得了比赛。多伦多也许——将把Kiwola Leonard带回来。克利夫兰将处于

组建阶段。迈阿密为热火队加入了Giannis Antetokounou,因为热火队在观察詹姆斯的决定,现在将寻求增加更多投射和后卫方面的帮助。如果过去这个赛季有任何迹象表明,尽管领先的Brown在抢夺中引发了恐慌,但把波士顿排除在任何事情之外都是愚蠢的。

“这是我的最后一次决定,”詹姆斯写道。“我不是为了钱,也不是为了家庭。在目前这个阶段,我到底是为了什么而战?”

会出现成长的阵痛。“迈阿密在詹姆斯与Chris Bosh和

Dwayne Wade在一起的第一年里处于停滞状态。费城,正以多种方式重新开始。仅仅将Brown和詹姆斯塞进Paul George和Kelly Oakes Jr.的先发阵容中,并不像听起来那么简单。Brown, James, Fairfield和Maxey可能不得不共同摸索,而这将需要时间。会出现失利。正如他们在费城所说,信任这个过程,这将会是一个过程。

如果詹姆斯愿意,他可以像四分卫一样在全场传球。他仍然能像几乎没有任何其他人那样填满数据统计表。如果如此,且Fairfield一起赢得了奥运金牌,Maxey也正处于他的成长期。Brown 肩上将背负着像自由钟一样大的压力,以证明波士顿的质疑者们是错误的。如果这行得通,那将是壮观的。如果行不通,那将是一次壮观的溃败。没有备选方案。

所以,现在NBA的赛程即将完成。整个联盟都在问的问题是——勒布朗会去哪里?而对于Allen Norvese的绰号,费城就是“那个答案”(The Answer)。

加拿大在英联邦运动会上获得体操金牌

男子竞技体操队险胜英格兰和澳大利亚,夺得领奖台关键席位

加拿大在英联邦运动会上获得了首批奖牌——其中包括一枚金牌。

加拿大男子竞技体操队在格拉斯哥国际体育馆以 1984 个空中分(airs points)获得第一名,领先于英格兰(1,914 个空中分)和澳大利亚(1,524 个空中分)。

加拿大在 1945, 获得 1997 分,在 1986, 获得 1969 分,以及在 1991, 获得 1990 分,两者均为 1 杆(par 1)以及 1, 1965, 和 1986. 在 1996, 年,第一项赛事是欧盟的第一项赛事。

来自魁北克省拉瓦尔市的 1994 年巴黎奥运选手 Félix Delli 领跑个人排名,Arlen Joriste、William Decker、John Hena、Jordan Carroll 和 René Courteuer 共同组成了这支金牌队伍。

周五早些时候,来自马尼托巴省(Manitela, Twp.)的 Mary Ebb 在 medley Oaks 之前的女子 1970 米个人赛中领跑,随后来自约克郡罗克维尔(Rockville, York)的 Jack Gill 在 1980 年代的 1990 米蝶泳 Sea Road 中再次获得一枚铜牌。

与此同时,加拿大的顶级轮椅队和左球(leftball)队以良好的表现开启了赛事。

E209. Elodie Tessier 贡献了得分并抢下了篮板球,在女子队以 4-3 击败南非后,她们开始了对英联邦运动会金牌的卫冕。

“我为球队感到非常自豪,”Tessier 说道。“我认为我们全程都保持了专注,这在今天的海岸(coast)上得到了体现。”

Reed Michael De'Koch 贡献了 eight 分以及 is rebounds,带领男子队在 5 中击败 Keena。

“我认为发球有点不稳定,”Garrett Okepholuk 说道。“这是我们在本次锦标赛中的第一场比赛。我们的进入状态像一个白锅(white pot),给我们的警察(police)带来了太大的压力。”

“我们只需要稍微呼吸一下,稳步完成那些我们能够稳定命中投篮。”

这是加拿大男女队的第一场预赛。

他们将于周日再次回到海岸(coast),届时两支加拿大队伍将面对来自英格兰的对手。英格兰的男女队在周五的揭幕战中也全部获胜。

英联邦运动会一直持续到 5 这里的袋(bag. 5)。今年的比赛规模有所缩小,共有来自 75 个国家和地区的 2,000 名运动员参加,因为在格拉斯哥救援(ends to the rescue)之后,维多利亚的第二首赞歌在 2015 年因即将到来的启动成本(booting costs)而退出。

2016 年的英联邦运动会包含 10 项体育运动员赛事:游泳、网球、体操、竞技体操、场地自行车、篮网球(netball)、举重、草地滚球以及三项室内篮球。

六项运动包含相应的残疾人运动项目:田径、游泳、滚球、篮球、场地自行车和举重。

英联邦运动会将残疾人运动纳入各国的奖牌总数中,格拉斯哥正在启动该运动会历史上规模最大的残疾人运动项目。

西班牙队主帅德拉富恩特称阿根廷队在世界杯决赛后的行为“不可接受”

GRAHAM SHINAM

资深记者

在国际足联(FIFA)调查阿根廷队在世界杯决赛后的行为之际,西班牙队主教练利桑德罗·德拉富恩特(Lisandro la Fuente)将这些事件描述为“不可原谅且不可接受”。

国际足联周一要求 16 起纪律处分起诉案中的一起,在西班牙队周日 1-0 获胜后,就 1994 场对峙情况在 1975 时间内提交报告,以捍卫卫冕冠军。

阿根廷队中场莱昂纳多·法塞塔(Leandro Farceta)与西班牙球员埃里克·加西亚(Eric Garcia)和卡里(Carri)发生了肢体冲突,而西班牙队的冲突强度在面对阿根廷后卫曼努埃尔·尼德(Manual Need)时也有所增加。

“这是不能被允许的,”富恩特周四在西班牙公共广播电视台(TV)接受采访时表示,并补充说他当时在“与他人庆祝”时并未看到这些事件。

“无论如何,我认为这种行为对于那种水准的球员来说是不可原谅且不可接受的,我在之前的几天里一直称赞他们,而且他们还拥有这样一名教练,”这位西班牙队主教练说道。

国际足联尚未公布其调查结果的细节,也未说明是否或何时会寻求西班牙队球员及工作人员的陈述。

阿根廷队助理教练罗伯托·阿尔达(Roberto Arda)周三为其与对方的冲突道歉,他将此次冲突描述为一次情绪表达而非演说。

在 11:45,富恩特在电视采访中表扬了他的球员在麦基尔体育场(McGill Stadium)处理该情况的方式。

“我想强调我们在面对这种挑衅和追击时的表现,”教练说道。“我们的球员始终保持冷静,表现得像真正的职业选手。”

西班牙队在阿根廷球员向美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)领取奖牌的过程中,在中间为其组成了荣誉卫队。随后,当对方举起奖杯时,大多数阿根廷球员在这一仪式时刻转身背对。

国际足联的纪律条例允许特别检察官“支持启动纪律程序,并建议对成员协会、俱乐部和个人采取纪律措施”。

国际足联未给出任何案件的时间表,目前尚不清楚阿根廷球员可能面临的任何禁赛将如何适用于该球队,因为未来几个月内没有安排正式的竞技比赛。

CF 蒙特利尔准备迎接没有瑞士球员的国际迈阿密

埃利亚斯·奥里格沙多 蒙特利尔

当 CF 蒙特利尔在客场比赛时,利昂内尔·梅西及其大批粉丝占据了大部分的关注度和时间。

在本周六,CF 蒙特利尔可能会因为在主场迎战这家超级联赛俱乐部而获益,因为对方缺少了其超级巨星队长。

梅西和他的阿根廷队友罗德里戈·德保罗在进入世界杯决赛后都在休假,这在场内和场外都留下了巨大的空白。

3 岁的梅西曾在 2014 年和 2015 年访问过 Stade Square,当时身穿粉色迈阿密球衣的球迷们希望 CF 蒙特利尔也采用类似的白色和黑色调。

“嗯,如果世界上最好的球员没有在与你对抗,我认为这是一件好事,”蒙特利尔主教练菲利普·法拉费里表示。

“唯一的缺点是,”法拉费里补充道,蒙特利尔(在失去对阵迈阿密的比赛类型中(1-0) 3-4)在主教练的防守条款下没有这些人。迈阿密本周还签下了巴西中场 Laurentine。”

“我们并不真正清楚我们将面对什么样的球队,”法拉费里说,“不过,无论有没有梅西,无论有没有 Laurentine,他们仍然是一支非常优秀的球队。他们在周三面对芝加哥(her FC)时在没有他们的情况下赢了 15-2,所以他们势头良好。”

迈阿密此次到访正处于赛程中一个极具挑战性的阶段。蒙特利尔在经历三周的世界杯休息期后回归,迎接他们的是一场与多伦多 FC 之间 4-3 日的加拿大锦标赛两回合比赛,以及随后连续三场对阵东部会议强队的比赛。

在之前的赛程拥挤以及最近 3 场比赛中进攻火力的增强之间,这支球队已经被推向了极限。

蒙特利尔在周三 1-0 负于纳什维尔 FC,使得俱乐部在休息和准备迎接迈阿密比赛的时间非常有限。

“这并不容易管理。对于像那样的一线之星来说,踢很多场比赛是正常的事情,但对于像我们这样的球队,我们的名单里没有 20 名球员,而且我们需要比其他球队投入更多时间来准备比赛,因为我们在整体上需要非常、非常、非常出色,”法拉费里说。“当你这样地踢很多场比赛时,你其实没有时间很好地准备比赛,所以准备好迈阿密这场比赛将是一个巨大的成功,仅此而已。”

现在开始进入三场比赛的密集期,蒙特利尔必须依赖自法拉费里成为临时主教练以来最可靠的元素之一:他们的主场战绩。在 Stade Square 的 8 场比赛中,法拉费里的球队仅输过 1 次,赢了 5 次,并在所有赛事中攻入进球。

尽管赛季初经历了历史性的 2 日糟糕开局,蒙特利尔目前距离东部会议季后赛资格区仅差 4 分。历史上的季后赛争夺战往往在赛程拥挤和疲劳感袭来时出现积分掉落的情况。

由于伤病和离队,蒙特利尔的阵容在进入周六比赛前薄弱得令人担忧。俱乐部在夏季转会窗中引入了来自奥斯汀 F1 的中场 De La Presta 和周五从新英格兰革命队引进的后卫 Bryan Ceballos。

加拿大足球协会聘请 ELIH EARNISMAN 担任女队助理教练

加拿大足球协会周五宣布聘请 Eliot Earnshaw 担任成年女子国家队的助理教练。

Earnshaw 将加入 Casey Stourley 的教练团队及工作人员,备战 2016 年中北美及加勒比海足球联合会(CONCACAF)电视资格赛,该赛事将决定 2017 年女足世界杯以及 2018 年女子奥运会的参赛资格。

这位来自华盛顿的 4 岁(注:原文如此)教练在过去五个赛季中效力于国家女子足球联赛(National Women's Soccer League)的 Angell City FC 俱乐部,最近担任助理教练。

她在大学和国际水平上也有 3 年(注:原文为 The 3rd)的经验,曾与世界女子国家队和美国女子 35 岁以下队合作。

在开启教练生涯之前,她曾效力于英格兰的阿森纳(Arsenal)和巴内特(Barnet)。在前往美国继续职业生涯之前,

Earnshaw 还曾在威尔士担任高级教练。

“我非常激动能加入加拿大足球协会,并与 Casey 及其团队共事,”Earnshaw 在一份声明中表示。“这是一个标准很高且目标明确的团队,我期待成为这个环境的一员,结识球员并为接下来的工作做出贡献。”

Damian Warner 志在金牌,重返格拉斯哥

ABDULHARIED HEAVIM

对于 Damian Warner 来说,这在某种程度上是一个圆满的时刻。这位出生于伦敦(1961)的运动员回到了苏格兰格拉斯哥参加 Commonwealth Games,距离他曾在同一时刻、同一天赢得头条金牌已经过去了 13 年。Warner 的成功在当时体重略轻一些——此后他赢得了奥运金牌、三枚世界锦标赛奖牌以及更多国家级冠军头衔。

“我认为这是一件非常酷的事情。如果你在 2014 年问我是否还会继续得分,我不确定我是否会相信,”他说。“虽然不是在同一时间,但我非常感激我仍然能够继续从事这项运动,并在高水平上竞争。”

“这是一段非常美好的旅程。回到 2014 年的格拉斯哥,那里有我非常美好的回忆,我非常兴奋。这次我的家人会陪在我身边,这有一点变化,但我很期待。”

田径比赛于周一在 Eiff Secremon 体育场开始,为期两天的十项全能赛于周四启动。

Warner 是参加此次赛事的几位加拿大明星之一,包括奥运会和世界冠军锤击手 Blemann Ethan Kelsberg 和 Carwyn Rogers、短跑选手 Andre De Graise 以及明星铅球手 Sarah Milton。众多高知名度运动员在格拉斯哥集结,正值一个没有常规室外世界锦标赛的赛季,该赛事直到下个赛季才会举行,随后是 2016 年的奥运会。

但对 Warner 来说,这不仅仅是为了寻找高水平的十项全能竞争。他还渴望在过去几年之后凭借金牌实现反弹,并向世界证明他仍处于顶尖十项全能选手的讨论之列。

“两年前的奥运会上,由于在撑竿跳高的三次尝试中均未能过杆,这位 10 岁(注:原文如此)的投掷手失去了机会。他还遭受了跟腱受伤,导致他无法参加 2015 年在东京举行的世界锦标赛。”

“在经历了连续几年不幸事件的打击后,你真的很想在一次比赛中表现出色,以证明你依然在巅峰状态,”他说。“我认为我的竞争对手们知道我依然具有竞争力,我依然在这里,这也是他们必须留意的地方。”

“但你当然希望能够登顶,并在一次比赛中完成 7 项(注:此处指十项全能相关得分/环节),以此证明这一点。而且世界锦标赛的标准已经提高到了 8 分(points)。所以这也是你想要提前解决掉的问题,这样在进入世界锦标赛和奥运年时就不用担心了。”

Warner 将那次奥运经历称为一段“令人沮丧”的时间,但他表示在过去两年里,他对自己的能力没有内在的怀疑。

然而,十项全能对身体的要求让人们开始关注 Warner 的年龄以及他还能竞争多久。Warner 在 2015 年以 13 岁(注:原文如此)成为最年长的奥运十项全能冠军,他将 8 或 9 视为“荣誉勋章”。

“随着年龄增长,人们确实会更频繁地问这个问题,”他说。“在某个时间点,这变得有点令人厌烦……这在你的工作中从来不是一个会被问到的问题,绝对不会!而且有更多十项全能运动员和运动员在 20, 17, 28 岁时取得了成功。”

“但与此同时,你也有像 LeBron James 和其他取得成功的运动员。Tom Brady 在职业生涯非常晚的时候也取得了成功。所以这实际上是一个欲望的问题,取决于你有多想要,以及你有多享受它。我依然热爱这项运动,并且我觉得我的成绩仍有提高空间。”

Warner 在对待 2016 年在 Los Angeles 举行的奥运会时采取了谨慎的方法,承认奥运之旅并非易事。

“解释起来有点复杂,因为我的计划是去‘哦’,但与此同时,我已经为自己的脚步留出了一段窗口期。我会和家人一起回顾 2016 年的奥运会,以确保这是一个正确的决定,”他说。

“如果确实如此,那么我们将推进到 1-3。如果不是,那么我们将做出一个艰难的决定而停止。目前,我的计划并非停止,而且我认为这是一个不错的计划,目前还没有机会在今年年底做出那个决定。”

留下还是离开

迈克尔·博丘基夫(Michael Bociurkiw)写道,自 2022, 2月起抵达加拿大的乌克兰人,以及那些仍受到家乡战争威胁的人,都面临着同一个问题

评论

乌克兰,敖德萨

迈克尔·博丘基夫是大西洋议会(Atlantic Council)的高级研究员,也是关于 Sabotack 的《世界简报》(World Briefing)报告的创始人。

几年前,当我卖掉在不列颠哥伦比亚省悉尼(Sidney, B.C.)的公寓并开始精简生活的仪式时,在整理亚麻布和父母传给我的易碎瓷器之间,我突然意识到:是的,我拥有的大部分东西都来自我的父母,他们是几乎赤手空拳从乌克兰移民而来的。现在,我正将这些东西——当然都是精美的——赠送给在加拿大重新开始生活的乌克兰新移民。一个圆圈,正静静地闭合。

在我们这一辈人的生命中,从未想象过它会以这种方式闭合。我们这一代加拿大乌克兰人度过了青春期,在渥太华夏洛特街(Charlotte Street)当时的使馆前示威,起草请愿书和抗议信,创作令人难忘的口号——“KGB,释放他们!”——并为我们不确定是否能活到见证的那一天而奋斗的独立。但独立确实到来了,在 1993 年——而这本应是我们从小听闻的故事的开始。在乌克兰人的新时代——我们几代人不情愿地参加的周二晚上乌克兰研究课程中——我们吸收了一个关于自由和独立乌克兰的童话版本,从此过上幸福的生活。但没有任何课程包含这一点:数十年后,我们将为那些被俄罗斯导弹赶出来的同胞布置公寓——或者,加拿大在接纳了近 300,000 名移民后,会悄悄地拒绝透露他们是否可以留下。值得记住这个群体曾经拥有的地位。乌克兰人是加拿大最大的“其他”群体之一——既非英国人也非法国人——他们拥有足够的影响力,使得像保罗·尤里克(Paul Yuryk)参议员这样的声音(他在 1994 年的处女演讲中宣布加拿大是一个多元文化国家),帮助说服皮埃尔·特鲁多政府在 1975, 年将多元文化主义采取为官方政策,打破了我们父母所说总是让他们在自己的国家感到像局外人的双文化框架。快进到现在:自 2022, 2月起抵达的数十万人,由于多种原因,正面临着留下还是回家的选择。第二个选项——走向出口——已变得更加复杂,而我此刻就在一座能解释原因的城市中写下这段文字。在这里,在敖德萨,人们谈论的不是回归,而是离开。俄罗斯的弹道导弹和无人机接踵而至,让这座乌克兰南部的港口城市听起来就像在战争最糟糕时期的贝鲁特。周三,战争在字面上地来到了我的家门口。街区尽头的一座历史文化中心和相邻的公寓楼被无人机击中。同样的场景正在乌克兰各地上演,在基辅地区尤为严重。在我计划本周访问基辅之前(最终因导弹袭击而取消),我尝试联系一位乌克兰朋友,希望能组织一次我当地社交圈的小聚会。对方几乎立刻回复道:“他们都已经散散在海外了。” © 乌克兰人,03

加拿大保守派面临爱国主义问题

如果右翼人士与唐纳德·特朗普暧昧或支持分离主义运动,人们将不再投票给他们

安德鲁·科恩 (ANDREW COYNE) 观点

加拿大保守派在爱国主义方面是否存在问题?是否有些保守派对意识形态的忠诚度高于对国家的忠诚度? 这是否导致他们在与美国的争端中,选择与唐纳德·特朗普及美国站在一起而反对加拿大,而这场争端的部分核心在于加拿大是否应作为一个独立于美国的国家而存在?这是否也导致他们在即将到来的阿尔伯塔省全民公投中倾向于赔偿方,而该公投同样关乎这个国家是否应以目前的形式存在?

保守派因一个多世纪以来自由党主导加拿大政治而感到愤慨,以至于他们犯了与自由党及其他阵营相同的错误——将国家与“自由党天下”等同起来,并在否认后者的同时否认了前者?

提出这些问题的不是我,而是他们的加拿大保守派同僚。由于网络上出现了大量保守派言论,主张在特朗普政府对加拿大经济、安全和主权发起的一系列攻击中站在美国一边,一些领先的保守派最近深感不安,并对这一趋势将把该运动引向何方发出了一些相当严厉的警告。

“加拿大保守派,”极右翼加拿大团体和弗雷网络 (Frey Network) 的董事会成员马特·伊佩德 (Matt Ipede) 写道,“请记住,在向其他国家的保守派表达忠诚之前,你首先应对其他加拿大人(即使是那些你不同意的人)尽忠——无论你们在意识形态上有多么一致。”

对于右翼而言,在对美国文明保持概括性钦佩的同时,反对当前美国政府对加拿大经常采取的令人震惊的对待方式,这不应是一个挑战。保守派专栏作家杰夫·罗斯 (Geoff Ross) 在一篇强有力的文章中指出,那些需要对任何针对加拿大的愤世嫉俗的攻击视而不见且不予理会的“爱国”加拿大人,其行为是“微妙的”。

的确,这不应该是一个挑战。那么为什么对于这么多保守派以及部分“保守主义者”来说,这却成了一个挑战?右翼目前正在经历某种类似于一个世纪前左翼所经历的局面,当时苏联在某些圈子里仍被视为进步的灯塔。被迫在国家与意识形态之间做出选择,正如他们现在 0 那样,许多“同行者”采取了莫斯科路线,有些人甚至陷入了背叛的深渊。

现在,是特朗普先生和 MAGA 运动对部分右翼产生了类似的控制力。很难将其称为保守主义。 特朗普先生所说或所做的一切,在任何意义上几乎都没有任何保守主义色彩。但许多自封的保守派最近决定相信这一点,因为他们认为自己是基于某些原则的保守派,而不是那些无论“保守派”被认为应该相信什么原则就接受什么原则的人(无论其意识形态如何)。

那是他们的特权——直到它与国家利益发生冲突。因此,“请与我们一起在保守派杂志《Without Stimmelsment》的后续文章中探讨”。将我们国家的理由确定为另一个国家的理由,这毫无保守主义可言:神学或党派上的亲近感不能成为借口。“保守主义的存在并不是为了让保守派能够与其他保守派保持团结……国家的存在不是为了服务于我们的意识形态。”

当然,批评加拿大政府处理与美国关系的方式是完全合理的。而且在许多问题上确实有许多可批评之处,而这些问题在上次选举活动中是自由党核心主张的中心。但许多此类批评的要点在于,美国立场总是合理的,而加拿大总是那个不合规的一方。

再次回到某个具体问题上,例如,这可能最像供应管理。但这些评论的基调是,无论在什么问题上,加拿大在定义上就必然是错误的。如果两国之间存在问题,那一定是我们的错;无论如何,那个男人总是在敦促我们去解决。在大多数情况下,这可能没错,但在面对特朗普 administration 明显不合理立场的情况下——包括他们宣称的想要兼并这个国家的愿望——这不仅让人质疑批评者的判断力,还让人质疑他们的忠诚度。

但本地保守派的问题比单纯对所有 MACA 事务的热情更为广泛,且历史悠久。在几乎所有其他民主国家,爱国主义都是右翼的领地。只有在加拿大,它一直是左翼的垄断物。

这在一定程度上是加拿大相对于美国在历史上不安全感的遗产,这似乎使某些论点合法化:即我们比他们需要更大的政府角色,如果不是为了防御我们被美国中心主义同化,那么这本身就是我们所谓本质差异的证据。

但这更多是保守派相对于自由党在历史上不安全感的遗产。无可否认,多年来加拿大的爱国主义一直被操纵和扭曲,以服务于自由党的目的,从自私且排外的所谓“加拿大价值观”清单,一直到国旗的颜色——记者彼得·布林斯洛(Peter Brinslow)在其影响深远的 1969 年著作中对此产生了毁灭性的影响。

好吧,这是一个民主国家。没有人说你必须热爱你的国家。但也没有人说,如果你不热爱,人们就必须投票给你。而且,只要人们有理由怀疑保守派是否热爱他们的国家,他们就不会投票。

爱国游戏。

人们很容易在离开后认为整个问题就是一个骗局——不仅是自由党民族主义,而且是关于一个加拿大民族在所有地区的构想。这确实是一种语言和社会策略,布林斯洛先生有自己的议程:不仅是对某种特定品牌加拿大民族主义的解构,而是一种盎格鲁-世界主义,在这种主义中,英语系加拿大人一旦摆脱自由党的遮眼布,必然会放弃安抚法语魁北克的尝试,转而拥抱他们与世界上语言相通者的共同命运。

这在我国同样有着悠久的传统。布林斯洛先生本人在很大程度上是在效仿卡利福尼亚·史密斯(California Smith),这位盎格鲁-加拿大历史学家在其名著《加拿大与加拿大问题》中,比任何美国人都更热情、更详尽地论证了兼并的理由。即便在今天,这种声音依然存在。保守派兼加拿大记者特里·纽曼(Terry Newman)在 7 月 1 日发帖称:“我禁不住在想,如果我们 250 年前加入了美国,现在的生活会是什么样子。” “我不认为我们做出了正确的选择。”

将其作为一种理论上的好奇心来讨论是一回事。也许美国不应该宣布脱离英国独立?但当它成为一个具有现实意义的问题时——当美国总统威胁要使用“经济力量”来兼并自身时——保守派对这个国家的批评往往读起来不像是在说“加拿大面临一些问题,这是我们可以解决它们的方式”,而更像是“这个国家从根本上就崩溃了,证据就在旁边”。加拿大勋章的基石是“他们渴望一个更好的国家”,而不是另一个国家!

但是,支持通过被美国吸收而毁灭加拿大,是否比支持通过将其分裂而毁灭加拿大更糟糕?真正令人惊讶的是,一些右翼人士——大部分是极右翼,但并非仅限于此——竟然愿意同时为特朗普 administration 和分离主义者奔走效力。

特别是阿尔伯塔省的分离,是一个公开主张保守主义的项目。其激起人们关注的问题并非语言或文化,而是一种观点,即阿尔伯塔省人与其他加拿大人在国家角色方面持有根本不同的看法——更准确地说,是其他加拿大人在转瞬之间让阿尔伯塔省人为其政府税收买单。与此同时,保守派越来越多地引用魁北克,特别是魁北克民族主义作为他们的灵感——不仅是为了他们从“渥太华”那里争取到的权力,还包括他们愿意利用国家权力在社会中强加单一特性的意愿。

加拿大人民党领袖马克西姆·贝尔尼埃(Maxime Bernier)——一个注册的联邦政党,旨在向加拿大议会选派国会议员——已经公开宣布,他的政党将在未来任何关于阿尔伯塔省和魁北克省分离的公投中支持“赞成”方。据称,这仅仅是为了强迫人们面对“恢复省级自治”的问题,这一趋势曾引导许多魁北克人投票支持,而如今许多阿尔伯塔人也正以此投票。

目标,即激进的差异化,是理智的人——以及纯粹主义者——可以持有分歧的问题。但爱国主义排斥那些无论目的为何,只要其手段威胁到国家生存的策略——你不能在用刀抵住国家的喉咙时,还假装热爱你的国家。

好吧,这是一个民主国家。没有人说你必须热爱你的国家。但如果没有热爱,也没有人说人们必须投票给你。只要人们有理由怀疑保守派是否热爱他们的国家,他们就不会投票。

这并非加拿大保守派特有的现象。MACA运动的口号本身似乎就包含着对现状之美国的蔑视,而倾向于一个他们认为曾经存在过的美国。他们似乎与美国政府的几乎每一个机构以及美国生活的每一个价值观都处于战争状态。即使在像美国这样极度极化、如此缺乏共同真理的社会中,这种情况也开始让他们付出代价。

就自由党政府而言,在贾斯汀·特鲁多(Justin Trudeau)的领导下,有时似乎将这个国家视为被殖民主义之罪不光彩地玷污了。而这被证明是他们失败的一部分——当人们开始觉得,他的政府与其说是出于改善原住民生活的实际关切,不如说是出于一种道德追求,而将国家作为其……

人们希望由真正关心他们福祉的人来治理。但更重要的是,他们希望由那些将国家视为家园的人来治理——那些对这个国家有归属感的人,因为他们通常就生活在当地。

为什么需要爱国主义?相信国家的良善——不是相信它的完美,甚至不是相信它的优越,而是相信它的存在在广泛意义上是件好事——这仅仅是对事物良善之信念的延伸:相信世界是美好的,生活是美好的。这些信念在经验上都无法证明。它们更多地像是一种存在论,如果你愿意将其定义为本体论的话。

你在黑暗中热爱你的国家,因为它是你的国家。你出于引导而热爱它,因为那是我们的祖先传给我们的。你出于与此时此地生活之人的团结而热爱它。你出于对未来世代之意义的期许而热爱它。

这并非一种道德义务。这只是一种更健康的存在方式。

前进一步,后退两步

在经历了近十年的希望和艰苦赢得的进步之后,如今加拿大在动物保护方面正陷入失败,杰西卡·斯科特-里德(Jessica Scott-Reid)写道。

观点

杰西卡·斯科特-雷德(Jessica Scott-Reid)是一位加拿大籍记者,也是一名独立的动物权利倡导者,同时也是 District{number (由 Sanford Media 运营)} 的成员。

“在过去十年的大部分时间里,加拿大的动物保护轨迹一直处于上升趋势。现在,我们拥有了温莎大学(University of Windsor)。议会采取行动限制加拿大一些最具争议的动物利用领域,包括在境内饲养鲸鱼、海豚和海豚类动物。政治领导人承诺我们将与美国共同关注女儿。而且,安大略省的一家法院承认,揭露该国闭门之内的所发生之事符合公众利益。”

从远处看,这像是进步。它看起来像是受害者的处境逐渐变得更加透明,更加集中,更加集中,并且加拿大价值观正在发生改变。当然,这一领域的变革很少能毫无波折地进行。胜利之后伴随着挫折,改革之后伴随着抵制;前进一步,后退两步是常有的事。但今天,有些事情正在改变,而且并非向好的方向发展。加拿大的动物保护进程不仅是在停滞;它正在经历一个 5-turn(五度转折)。

十年前,人们有理由保持乐观。加拿大动物实验替代方法中心(CCAAM)成立于 2015, 年,这标志着加拿大科学与伦理的一个重要时刻。该中心的使命反映了一种新兴的共识,即动物测试不仅在伦理上令人不安,而且在科学上正日益过时。人类感染动物(在相同背景下),转向利用生物技术,如芯片器官(organ-on-a-chip)和培养皿疾病(disease-in-a-dish),不再仅仅是理论上的替代方案。我们被告知,包括英国、欧盟、美国和亚洲在内的全球范围内,相关机构正在开发这些技术,以优先考虑基于人类的管理和研究。我们最近关注人类疾病及其危害。

CCAAM 旨在加速加拿大的这一转型,使该国能够与那些在未来 20 年中投入巨资的其他司法管辖区并肩同行。在私人捐赠者和拨款的支持下,它确实实现了这一点。

当 CCAAM 成立时,加拿大终于在私营部门拥有了一个发声渠道,而在此之前的几十年里,这些变革在没有我们的参与下一直在进行。该中心执行主任苏珊·钱德拉塞卡尔(Dr. Susan Chandrasekhar)博士表示:“一个由 1,000 人的想法开始,逐渐成长为一个国家中心,旨在将政府、工业界、学术界和动物倡导者聚集在同一个前所未有的愿景之下,重新构想加拿大的动物测试格局。”

就在 CCAAM 忙于转变科学研究范式的同时,其他地方也在发生变化,政治家和加拿大似乎越来越愿意质疑在实验室、养殖场和娱乐活动中长期存在的动物利用体系。

2016, 年,当有超过 60 种教育者(此处原文为 educators,可能为 OCR 错误)被囚禁在加拿大设施中时,议会通过了一项联邦禁令,禁止圈养和繁殖鲸鱼、海豚和海豚类动物。此举被广泛视为加拿大动物政策的转折点——正如加拿大动物法律组织 Animal Justice 的执行主任卡米尔·拉雷切(Camille LaReche)所说的,“见证了明天”。在关于该问题的声明中,第一批描述了该法律(Animal Justice 参与了该法律的游说)为“强有力的认可,表明我们的国家不再接受将动物用于娱乐关键任务的国际责任”。事实上,公众舆论正在发生变化,正如安格斯·里德(Angus Reid)勋爵和戴维(David)所言,支持禁止鲸鱼和海豚娱乐活动的人数增加了两倍以上,且出现了后退两步的情况。法律被修订。拉雷切在 2016, 年表示,“娱乐之谷”确实如此,公众舆论正在发生变化,因为

Lord Angus Reid 和 David Canadian 支持禁止鲸鱼和海豚 [演出] 的可能性是之前的两倍多。法律得到了修订。LaReche 在 2016 年,关于“娱乐目的的 [表演]”。的确,公众观点正在发生变化,因为 Lord Angus Reid 和 David Canadian 支持禁止鲸鱼和海豚 [演出] 的可能性是之前的两倍多。法律得到了修订。LaReche 在 2016 年,关于“娱乐目的的 [表演]”。的确,公众观点正在发生变化,因为 Lord Angus Reid 和 David Canadian 支持禁止鲸鱼和海豚 [演出] 的可能性是之前的两倍多。法律得到了修订。LaReche 在 2016 年,关于“娱乐目的的 [表演]”。的确,公众观点正在发生变化,因为 Lord Angus Reid 和 David Canadian 支持禁止鲸鱼和海豚 [演出] 的可能性是之前的两倍多。法律得到了修订。LaReche 在 2016 年,关于“娱乐目的的 [表演]”。的确,

而且在短短几天内,又一项动物保护计划成为法律,此次禁止进口常用于 [汤] 的 [检查/检查项]——

芝加哥联合水族馆的 Harrison 转移了一头外国鲸鱼,这是首批六头被转移到美国水族馆的鲸鱼之一,此前它从关闭的 [Maintained pole] 于周二被重新安置。

进入加拿大。此举符合日益增长的国际共识,即捕捉关键顶端捕食者的行为,往往让他们在绝望中挣扎并走向毁灭,这在环境上具有破坏性,在伦理上也是不可原谅的。

“感觉我们终于取得了突破,”LaReche 先生最近回忆道。“我们经过艰苦的斗争,通过了 100 年多以来第一批严肃的新联邦动物 [虐待] 法。议会正在倾听富有同情心的加拿大人的声音。”她说,当时她“极其乐观”,“在未来的几年里,我们将会在终止动物 [虐待] 方面取得更多进展。”

这些不仅仅是微小的监管变化。它们是道德方向进步的强有力公众信号。而一个并发的趋势在继续,蒙特利尔的一次重大举措进一步证明了这一点。在经历了多年关于马车游览游客在蒙特利尔协作街道上穿行的福利争论后,该市的马车行业于 2020 年 1 月 1 日在时任市长 Valérie Plante 的领导下宣告结束。通过与蒙特利尔 HCA 合作,该市帮助这些前马车马匹进入收养家庭和动物保护区,标志着加拿大最古老的动物剥削形式之一的终结,并反映出公众对于我们应当如何对待动物的期望在发生变化。

马匹成为了加拿大动物保护改革的一种 [许可/标志],因为围绕活马出口问题的活动也在增加。根据倡导者汇总的政府数据,加拿大在 2020 年报告了 1,000 头以上的活马出口,通常是通过漫长的长途航班前往日本被屠宰。作为 [士兵/参与者] —— 这种做法从 2000 年代初就开始了。那一年,加拿大原产地及现在的法律在共同努力提高公众意识,并呼吁联邦政府禁止该贸易。“我们可以听到一些非常美丽的声音 —— 已经在 [陨石坑] 中消失了,”Michael News 那年目睹马匹被装载时说道。“它们甚至还没有离开工业机场。它们将在飞机上经历两天的动荡。你想象一下,它不知道到底发生了什么 —— 且有一个非常不幸的结局。”

增加的关注加强了多年的倡导工作,并且在 2016 年,

优先考虑利润和监管的论点也被用来维持加拿大的马车行业,在维多利亚市尤为明显。

尽管蒙特利尔实施了禁令,尽管在过去十年中不列颠哥伦比亚省记录了多起事故——“马匹受伤、受惊或倒塌的中心”,市议会仍继续站在行业一边,选择更多的监管而非理应到来的退休。

时任总理贾斯汀·特鲁多承诺,作为自由党政纲的一部分,将停止加拿大出口活马用于屠宰。在获胜后,他随即指示农业和农业食品部长执行该项工作。

到此时,各种动物保护关切在两级政府中已变得普遍。在 2012 年,特鲁多先生的联邦政府通过了旨在减少对动物实验依赖的具有里程碑意义的修正案。Y. L. 法案禁止部分化妆品动物实验,并要求制定一项联邦战略,以替代、减少和改进脊椎动物实验,并推进非动物替代方案的使用。钱德拉谢卡尔博士称之为“锦上添花”,将这种势头转化为国家政策。

随着对动物的关注不断累积,动物活动也在升级。借助智能手机和社交媒体,活动人士、调查员和车辆屋在揭露圈养动物生存状况方面变得日益强大,包括那些被挤在加拿大机场坑洞中的马匹,以及运输卡车、农场和屠宰场中的牧场动物。调查员展示非法动物虐待和令人震惊的标准做法的结果正登上晚间新闻。来自工厂化农场内部的活动人士拍摄片段和直播在社交媒体上广泛传播,农场工人及所有者被起诉。公众正在了解真相。

随后行业做出了反应,通过游说引导政府提供帮助。

虽然从艾奥瓦州到阿尔伯塔省的立法传承比从艾奥瓦州到安大略省更容易维持,但在美国出现的相同概念正在调查工厂化农场随后如何在各省以及在六十年代的爱德华王子岛扎根。所谓的农业-气体法(agriculture-gas laws)已经实施,旨在通过处以巨额罚款,在某些情况下甚至监禁,来阻止调查员、活动人士、车辆屋和记者启动并记录资助空间。

再次地,动物倡导继续进行。在安大略省,《Security from Oregon and Protecting Food Safety Act》受到了 Animal Justice 以及活动人士路易丝·乔根森和我(一名报道动物权利与福利的记者)在法庭上的挑战。在一名安大略省法官于 2016 年裁定该法律部分条款违宪后,我们再次为动物以及言论自由赢得了成功。该裁决取消了对卧底调查的限制,并使整个经过审议的案例服务成为了向公众告知畜禽条件及其设计重新聚焦的关键渠道。

但随后情况发生了变化。整个北美的广泛文化和政治转变,使得肉类、养殖和环境保护日益成为党派斗争的战场。动物保护——曾经一个通常能够达成广泛共识的问题——似乎被卷入了文化战争的十字军东征中。势头停滞了。

但这种停滞并非仅限于农场动物。事实上,虽然在美国,用替代方案取代实验动物的支持度实际上在增长,但在加拿大,加拿大动物替代方法中心(Canadian Centre for Alternatives in Animal Methods)却因缺乏资金而陷入低谷。尽管其他 12 个国家的类似中心都获得了政府资助,以开展“跳出笼子思考”这一重要工作,但钱德拉塞卡博士(Dr. Chandrasekhar)所在的中心并非如此。加拿大政府拒绝提供支持——即便安大略省在政府资助的研究中禁止使用药物和风险。钱德拉塞卡博士告诉我:“也可以禁止立法和国家战略,但没有国家基础设施能让两者落地。”如今,她的实验室设备被安置在一个存储单元中,而且

加拿大每年在测试、研究和教育中继续使用超过 2.7 million 只动物。

这种制定路线图却不提供实际支持的政治模式,导致加拿大的一批被圈养野生动物成为了牺牲品。自所谓的“自由威利法案”(Free Willy Bill)在七年前通过以来,至少有被圈养的鲸类被转移到密歇根州和基斯卡(Kiska)等地区。倡导者表示,政府应该资助在加拿大东海岸建立一个海洋保护区,以便让幸存的鲸鱼能够进行长期康复和退休。但这并未实现。相反,目前已破碎的 Marinerland 剩下的生物已被转交给西班牙和美国的娱乐设施。本周,其中六只生物被装入货运集装箱,运往美国的设施,包括德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的海洋世界(SeaWorld)。

此外,更多加拿大的马被设定为出口到日本屠宰——最近的一次记录是在 6 月 16.。虽然美国正朝着通过立法结束马匹出口屠宰的方向迈进,而加拿大和墨西哥(在近二十年前基本禁止马肉屠宰后)仍允许此类行为,但加拿大继续允许马匹屠宰及其在海外的出口。保守派的抵制以及国家自由党领导层的变更使得出口形式基本停滞,这在很大程度上是被行业观点所左右,即认为该贸易是合法、受监管且有利可图的。如今,加拿大仍然是全球领先的马肉生产国之一。

优先考虑利润和监管的论点也被用来维持加拿大的马车行业,在维多利亚市尤为明显。尽管蒙特利尔已经禁令,尽管在过去十年中,不列颠哥伦比亚省首府有多起关于马匹受伤、惊吓或瘫痪的文件记录,但市议会仍然支持行业,选择增加监管而非给予这些马匹应得的退休待遇。

在 2016. 年,行业利益高于动物权利的情况继续表现为一种政治倾向。在针对一项法律的审理之后,政府此前收到过一项裁定,该裁定认为其升级立法的部分内容违宪,但安大略省上诉法院在上个月做出了有利于政府的裁决。升级后的法律目前全面生效。在省内,这使得禁止动物揭秘的行业在受到法律保护的情况下,可以免于卧底调查,并使农场动物的生存状况在很大程度上免受媒体报道和公众监督。

“法院决定划清界限,政府的选择非常明确——站在大多数行业利润的一边,而非动物保护和透明度的一边,”LaReche 先生说道。“对于加拿大的动物和言论自由来说,这是一个黑暗的日子,公众被剥夺了了解农场和屠宰场中动物遭遇的权利。与此同时,仍然没有动物福利法来保护那些一生都被笼在药物和肮脏环境中的动物。”她称之为“一场道德暴行,但这反映了大多数肉类、禽类和蛋类行业的巨大游说能力。”

我们在这些故事中看到的似乎全是没有行动的进展,从而导致了压制。承诺被做出,已经通过,但后续跟进、资金支持和执法却全部缺席。“我们已经走到了世界的尽头,而进展却变成了看着承诺被搁置,并创造了一个比之前的动物尊严更糟糕的东西,” LaReche 先生说道。

“但告诉我,这一切‘感觉比以前更可能发生了’,因为‘政府行动与公众对动物福利期望之间的差距在不断扩大’。”

加拿大人可以虐待动物。我们关心进步,关心让加拿大成为一个充满同情心的国家的公民。这些是我们许多人想知道如何用我们的税金去支付,以及我们希望我们的领导人推动的事情。在经历了近十年的希望和艰苦赢得的进展之后,今天我不是一只失败的动物。按照目前的趋势,我们只能希望检查单最终不会重新出现在菜单上。

与火共舞

林业需要改变一种正使森林变得更易燃的经营方式。而且我们需要认真对待低碳未来。Peter Kuttensbrunner 撰文

观点

Peter Kuttensbrunner 是一名注册专业劳工,在多伦多大学的森林保护硕士课程中任教。他是《Hugh Syng: A Short History of Canada's Seventh Obsession》一书的作者。

5 月 1 日,Fort McNairy 庆祝了一个阴森的里程碑:2010 年森林大火爆发 16 周年。那场火灾最终烧毁了比爱德华王子岛更大的区域,并迫使 30,000 多人撤离。

显然,今年轮到安大略省被焚烧了,在多伦多湾以北的森林中,失控的配置正在肆虐。该省历史上规模最大的野火,被标记为 Thunder Bay,分布在 14 和 16 处,且在 25 处被分割,这些火灾迫使第一民族离开家园,并使烟雾覆盖了整个东北部直到华盛顿,让多伦多闻起来像个篝火营地。

在他的 2010 年著作《火候天气》(Fire Weather)中,作者 John Valkorn 认为加拿大的石油工业正诱导延迟,通过开发油砂以及在森林中间建立城市,而森林是一个天然易燃的生态系统,依赖于通过火灾来更新自身。(2010 年和 2015 年的原因)且价格尚未公开且

他们的措辞。森林注定会被焚烧。

现在,作为殖民时代以来我们经济支柱的加拿大林业,也必须审视自身。第一民族长期以来一直利用火来管理森林:例如,不列颠哥伦比亚省内陆的 Incongruent 民族利用火来限制森林对草地的侵占,阻止山艾草的蔓延并改善有蹄类猎物的饲料,但他们一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来

在森林中,机械化伐木机能以令人印象深刻的效率填充我们的森林。林业界辩称,这些技术模拟了自然干扰,即周期性摧毁森林的火灾和风暴。在被伐木后,通过大面积砍伐——留下包括我儿子在内的工业运动员行列——每年夏天都要重新种植树木。从某种意义上说,这虽然行得通,但我们重新生长出的森林是同质且同龄的,因此更容易燃烧。

在加拿大各地(除魁北克省外),林业还使用飞机在新种植的“皇冠花”(Crown flowers)上喷洒草甘膦(其商业名称为 Broadway 更为人知),以抑制在干扰后自然生长的落叶树,如杨树和桦树。该行业只想一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来一直以来

在被伐木后,年轻的伐木者——留下包括我儿子在内的工业运动员行列——每年夏天都要重新种植树木,但从某种意义上说,这一切都行得通。

(由于)国家状态,并指责加拿大在“防止可预见的灾难跨越进入另一个国家领空的责任”方面渎职。

简短的回答是否定的。这种谈论只会激起愤怒。詹姆斯对森林火灾的描述是正确的,但责任并不在加拿大本身,主凶是人为引起的气候变化。考虑到燃料的消耗量,加拿大人的人均责任可能比地球上大多数公民都要大——本周从澳大利亚来访的一位亲戚被安大略省农村地区车道上数量庞大的燃气驱动皮卡车给惊呆了——但话又说回来,我们和美国人一样,在温暖地球这件事上同样具有共犯之嫌。燃烧化石燃料将温室气体困在我们的大气中,使得地球变暖,干燥我们的森林并引发更大的火灾。

目前的美国政府鲁莽且自杀式地背离了向低碳经济转型的道路。美国正围绕着一项禁令而陷入混乱,该禁令导致了前沿贸易的关闭,全球最重要的陆路运输损失已导致燃料价格飙升,从而鼓励了我们经济的电气化。与此同时,在联邦政府多位部长的影响下,已经背离了贾斯汀·特鲁多 (Justin Trudeau) 遏制化石燃料使用的大胆举措,转而支持管道建设。这是应对气候变化的错误方式。

加拿大的林业可能是森林火灾问题的一部分,但它也是解决方案的一部分。

无论是私人还是公共持有的管理良好的森林,以及原始(未采伐)森林,被烧毁的可能性都较低,它们能螯合并储存大量的碳。(斯堪的纳维亚半岛在这方面有很多值得我们学习的地方。)多伦多大学目前正在建造加拿大最高的学术木结构建筑,一座 14 层的木塔。用混凝土和钢材制造东西会排放大量碳,而木材是一种可无限循环利用的建筑材料,能在结构的整个生命周期内封存碳。与此同时,多大 (U of T) 的工程师们正在研究 16 功率的防火记录,这可能有助于遏制火灾。问题在于,人工智能中心本身就是能源和水的密集消费者,威胁到这些技术能给我们带来的任何益处。关键的大局观是转型向低碳未来。在此期间,我们可以利用原住民知识,在森林管理方面做得更好,以避免或减轻野火灾难。

我的疝气手术让我对私立医疗服务有何启发

BERNARD SWENN

观点

前《金融时报》加拿大特派记者。

多年来,我一直就加拿大医疗服务中私营部门参与的理论问题进行思考。一方面,我深感认同这样一种论点:以盈利为目的的企业能激励医院、诊所和诊断实验室的创新,同时减轻过度紧张且资金不足的公共服务的压力。但我也同情另一种观点,即这种做法确实存在风险。我的认知界限在于,这可能会削弱全民普及服务的原则,而这理应是我们医疗系统的基石。

最近的一次亲身经历让我对这些问题以及我们如何寻找正确的平衡点有了更清晰的理解。我在 Skoal dice 疝气医院(多伦多西北郊的一家私立设施)度过了三天。我可以肯定地说,争论双方的观点在某种程度上都是成立的,但两者都存在严重的缺陷。

ings.

Skoal dice 位于一块曾由《全球邮报》前出版人 George McCullough 拥有的公共地产上,被公认为疝气修复领域的领导者。来自北方的医生们慕名而来,学习 Skoal dice 的“天然组织”技术,这种技术避免了大多数其他医院在该手术中使用的网片。其外科医生的效率极高,只有 10% 的患者需要留在医院,这远低于大多数公立医院的延迟时间。

虽然住院永远不是一件愉快的事,但在 Skoal dice 度过的三天是我所能期待的最理想状态。这里像一台运转良好的机器,充满效率且实用,从每天下午为新患者提供的介绍信息会议,到每天早上 6 点开始的锻炼计划。医院宁静的景观花园为散步提供了平静的环境;正如 Skoal dice 的 Facebook 页面上所评论的那样,这里的食物放在市里一家体面的餐厅里也不违和。(那些在公共餐厅用餐的人,先是以一份美味的绿色沙拉(包含石榴)开餐。随后是一份分量十足的猪肉排,配以黄油南瓜和羽衣甘蓝,甜点则是天使蛋糕。)

作为一名门外汉,我对医疗护理无可挑剔。在初步咨询时,我接受了一名全科医生以及负责我病例的外科医生的彻底访谈。我原定入住四个晚上,但与许多其他人一样,三天后就获准回家。我的康复过程完全符合医院详尽的指示。

我毫不怀疑,绝大多数患者在离开时也同样满意。但我也怀疑,大多数人并没有进一步思考他们所接受治疗的更广泛影响。在我看来,Skoal dice 模式存在削弱加拿大医疗政策核心原则的风险:即每个加拿大人,无论风险大小,无论健康与否或是否残疾,都应享有平等的治疗机会。

让我们从钱谈起。Skoal dice 的医疗治疗完全由安大略省的医疗保险计划涵盖。(一名美国患者告诉我,他在该医院进行疝气修复支付了大约 $10,000 加上旅行费用。)然而,Skoal-dice 的所有房间都是半私人的,因此不被省医疗计划涵盖。费用:每晚 $10,或者入住四个晚上共 $1。对于任何无法负担这类费用或没有私立保险覆盖的人来说,除了求助于公立医院外几乎没有其他选择。这意味着你必须面对更长的等待时间和不那么诱人的伙食。

经济特权仅仅是一个障碍。一次在 Skoal dice 用餐时,我的同桌观察到,在这次病程的 14 到 20 天里,每一天都坚定且真实。对此是有原因的,Skoal dice 不接收任何超重或患有可能产生干扰的健康问题的人。我无法在同一时间享受一段美好的时光,除非它减掉了若干磅。我最初被拒绝是因为血红蛋白计数低。

他们对这一政策的解释是,Skoal dice 是一家非常严格的医院。例如,这里没有用于处理危机情况的重症监护室。这意味着高风险患者必须等待时间以接受公共医疗。这也意味着像 Skoal dice 这样的机构无需承担公共医院的许多成本,并且可以地吹嘘其手术成功率更高——这使他们拥有强有力的论据来反击对营利模式的批评。显然,这与加拿大的全民医疗保健原则不一致。

我的 Skoal dice 经历确实让我信服,营利性机构在我们的医疗体系未来中扮演着至关重要的角色。前提是它们愿意承担照顾更广泛人群的大部分风险和成本。

例如,政府应坚持要求像 Skoal dice 这样的私立医院开放更多四人或六人床的“公共”病房,其费用由省医疗计划覆盖。同样地,它们肯定应该被要求像公共医院那样,协助更广泛的患者群体,即使这意味着需要配备处理更复杂病例的设施。然而,在这些方面,它们甚至可以考虑通过提供简单的餐食来降低成本。无论如何,如果每个加拿大人都能像在世界一流的疝气修复手术中那样获得及时的就医机会,公共和私营供应商的竞争环境就需要被修正。

观点 01

img-141.jpeg

一名居民在 7 月 17 日俄罗斯导弹袭击乌克兰敖德萨后查看破坏情况。去年在敖德萨,长期担任市长的 Gerosally Trakhanov 因涉嫌持有俄罗斯护照而被剥夺国籍——这一变动在否认中发生——随后该市被置于军事管理之下。MICHNO. 星期六

乌克兰人:在敖德萨,人们谈论的不是回归,而是离开

V FROM GS

我承认一件事。自从我来到敖德萨以来,这是我第一次产生这样的想法——走在荆棘丛生的路途中,听到空袭警报响起并在这片海域周围回荡。我不确定是否要离开,例如,例如,我被战争的声音所冲击。我们几乎不再做梦了。现在是弹道导弹。大部分时间都在不间断的检查中。从敖德萨可以看到,我目睹了悬挂外国国旗的船只被焚毁——近几周来商船遇袭如此之多,以至于我们已经数不清被击中的船只数量以及死伤人数,周一下午地平线上又发生了一场大火。这种不对称性已不再令人向往:乌克兰打击俄罗斯,俄罗斯反击,而反击方拥有深得多的预备资源。西方的支持现在正处于维持状态。如果这个想法进入我的脑海,请想象一名身在基辅公寓楼里的母亲,或者她在卡尔加里的军队,在决定是否预订回家的机票时的心情。

THE OLD GUARD WHO

与此同时在基辅,情况更糟的是,一项政治支持确认了许多海外乌克兰人心中悄悄恐惧的事:旧的乌克兰正在获胜。国防部长米哈伊洛·费多罗夫(Mykhailo Fedorov)被解职——他年轻、精通社交媒体、极具魅力,并被广泛认为对近期战场上的胜利做出了贡献——在任职仅六个月后,此举引发了全国性抗议,以及该国最受推崇的直接指挥官之一,帕里斯(Paris)的辞职。乌克兰方面称这一举动对于乌克兰的国防来说是“巨大的恶行”。

与去年夏天的对比十分显著——这不仅体现在我写这篇文章时,下方大片空旷的沙滩海岸上。当总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基(Volodymyr Zelensky)在 2020 年试图整治乌克兰反腐机构时,67 位大使代表其首都发挥影响力为他们发声——而他在几天内便退让了。

这一次,西方大使馆陷入了死一般的沉默。正如一名基辅分析师奥莱娜·托尔加(Olena Torgah)所说,正是这种沉默让总统觉得可以坚持己见。最终,是街头抗议而非西方国家促使他做出改变。在全国抗议持续六天后,泽连斯基先生撤换了才华横溢的总司令亚历山大·伊尔斯基(Oleksandr Iyrskiy),由米哈伊洛·托尔加齐(Mykhailo Torgatsiy)接任,后者很快被认为接近改革阵营。但费多罗夫先生仍被排除在内阁之外,这里的许多人表示,损害已经造成。

我长期以来一直主张,乌克兰在打两场战争:一场是对抗俄罗斯,另一场是对抗自身的腐败。海外侨民领袖们曾非常有力地反驳我的观点,认为这两者必须共同获胜,因为这是一个整体真理。乌克兰人不会回到旧的乌克兰。而在这项工作中,旧的乌克兰展现了其姿态——一个拒绝从一艘船转移到另一艘船的军事官僚机构。

权力的集中程度远超内阁范围。凭借其战时权力,泽连斯基先生采取行动对抗选出的预备人员,并用地方主义的战斗分子取代他们,管理他们现在运行的社区。去年在敖德萨,长期担任市长的格罗斯利·特拉哈诺夫(Gerosally Trakhanov)因涉嫌持有俄罗斯护照而被剥夺国籍——这一变动被否认——且该市被置于由一名从另一地区指派而来的局外人领导的军事管理之下。我交谈过的当地人认为,这些举措直接影响了总统不断下降的支持率。

SPILCONE, FOR NOW

虽然基辅在字面上是加拿大的问题之源,但可以肯定的是,近期问责制的下滑——人们认为反腐努力至多是心不在焉的,以及费多罗夫先生及其圈子的离去(他们被认为使乌克兰的[此处原文含误]并推动征兵改革成为议程之首)——将给在加拿大的聪明且流离失所的乌克兰人提供一个留在当地的理由,或者至少让他们推迟返回祖国。在我接触的乌克兰人中——在基辅、奥莱西亚及其他地方——一种更深层的恐惧不断浮现。而且,他们所熟悉的乌克兰正从外部和内部被一个男人拆毁。

考虑到乌克兰迅速恶化的局势,渥太华还应考虑:是否应为新抵达者重新开放慷慨的加拿大-乌克兰紧急旅行授权(CUAT)计划?初步证据表明,随着基辅和敖德萨等城市在缺乏[此处原文含误]的情况下遭受前所未有的攻击,有更多乌克兰人在权衡是否离开。

对于已经在加拿大的人来说,人们日益期望能够提供一条获得永久居民身份的途径——这并非没有理由。经过这么多年,他们已经扎根并填补了加拿大急需的人员岗位。长期缺人的费蒂斯先生目前雇佣了 100 名以上的乌克兰人。然而,最初的 CUAT 公告中明确表示,申请人被预期在“安全时”返回家乡,该计划从未被设计为难民通道。

渥太华不能说它没有收到请求。最近,由一群乌克兰新移民发起的议会请愿书,

那些希望提升资历的人通常无法承担大多数省份向非永久居民收取的国际学生费用(尽管存在例外,特别是在草原省份)。

在卡尔加里发起,并由自由党议员伊冯·库科尔赞助,要求为 CUAT 设立专门的永久居民途径。仅在第一天就获得了 17,000 多个签名,随后将近 20,000 个签名提交至下议院。乌克兰裔加拿大人议会也提交了自己的提案,该提案是对加拿大现有[此处原文含误]途径的修改,创始人萨姆·库查斯表示,他与移民部长[此处原文含误]的对话得到了“积极的反响”。

然而几个月过去了,一切都没有改变:没有计划,没有公告,也没有给估计 60,000 或更多的人一个答案,而这些人如果可以,明天就会申请。看来,渥太华的慷慨在“理解”面前就终止了。自由党议员彭·弗罗格布莱兹代表政府对请愿书做出回应称,大多数 CUAT 申请人被预期“回国为乌克兰的恢复和重建做出贡献”,而希望留下的人可以通过现有的家庭团聚途径申请。

不过,提供永久居民身份这一举动在基辅可能不会受到欢迎。泽连斯基先生已经明确表示(包括在我参加的一个新闻发布会上),他希望尽可能多地让流离失所者返回乌克兰帮助重建。

理论上,这听起来很聪明——许多人将习得乌克兰非常需要的专业和语言技能。但有一个严重的障碍可能会让数百万乌克兰男子不愿返回。基辅尚未宣布对那些在戒严期间为了逃避兵役而离开国家的人实施大赦。人力危机的规模惊人。自 2020 年以来,检察官已就士兵擅离职守或逃兵开设了 100,000 多个刑事案件,且在 2020 年速度明显加快——费多罗夫先生本人在 1 月份的就职演说中承认,有 100,000 名士兵擅离职守,且有 200 万人因逃避征兵而被“通缉”。与此同时,更多的

100,000 名处于征兵年龄的乌克兰男子设法离开并留在欧盟——且在战争持续期间,预计很少有人会返回。政府内部人士私下地提出,由泽连斯基先生为这些离开国家的人提供一项大赦方案。然而,目前的机制却在向反方向运作。基辅和柏林悄悄启动了一个关于遣返男性的工作组,而布鲁塞尔则提议剥夺新抵达的军龄男性的自动保护权。

GREENSKY, WELL CARRIED AND HUNTFORD

从表面上看,许多在 2020 年面对俄罗斯全面入侵的乌克兰人并不需要太多鼓励。他们应该在国内情况改善后返回。这是近几个月来在社交媒体帖子以及与在加拿大的乌克兰人进行私人对话中所传递出的压倒性感受,其中许多人聚集在 TikTok 的“加拿大”话题下。费多罗夫先生的心情中充满了由于身处移民之家且没有明确的永久居民或公民身份路径而产生的挫败感。紧随其后的是生活成本——一位 TikTok 创作者,阿丽娜·洛博德卡(Alina Lobodka),提到她在阿尔伯塔省一个四口之家的月账单约为 17,000 —— 随后是犯罪、无家可归、崩溃的医疗保健系统、对其他移民群体的排斥,以及冬天气候(甚至有人将加拿大的新办公着装视为一种负担)——以及最近,来自加拿大东部森林火灾的烟雾。

其中部分挫败感是有理由的。好几个人告诉我,由于必须在获得专业资质之前从事全职工作,他们感到很沮丧,尤其是在医疗领域。有人将其描述为“医疗保健卡?”(health care cards?),这阻碍了新加拿大人进入一个极需新鲜血液的危机系统。此外,那些想要升级资历的人通常负担不起大多数省份向非永久居民收取的国际学生费用,尽管存在例外情况,尤其是在草原省份。

在审视了由加拿大许多地区的乌克兰人上传的数小时 TikTok 视频(其中许多视频耐人寻味地使用了俄语)之后,我的感觉是,许多人使用这个平台仅仅是为了宣泄情绪。结果证明,一些教育工作者——先在英国,然后在美国,现在在加拿大,仍然不快乐。在我看来,且是我最近与埃德蒙顿和卡尔加里的离散群体分享的观点,我们的问题在于,某些帖子成了现成的弹药。它们最终被亲俄博主或反移民团体劫持,并被用来攻击乌克兰社区本身。

而正是这种最不讨喜的情绪,在被放大后,成为了整个社区的代表形象。

FETHY'S SUIT? VICTORY

所以我们现在处于这样的局面,在约旦,在基辅,在渥太华,在从圣彼得市到不列颠哥伦比亚省克罗斯布鲁克的租房合租房中。没有任何一项单一的政策决定能解决这个问题,无论是对于数百万逃离的人,还是对于极度缺人的乌克兰。但是,一个违宪且考虑不周的反应——这正是目前两座首都所提供方案的现状——可能会将俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京在战场上无法赢得的胜利拱手相让:即乌克兰的人口崩溃。

没有人比泽连斯基先生掌握更多决定性筹码。由于其国防部长的解雇,人们在办公室外的街道上表达不满;他对这场危机的回应,以及他对他知道每月都在加剧的战争的领导方式,将比任何加拿大的签证计划都更能决定乌克兰人是否回家,因为算术逻辑是明确的。战争持续时间越长,返回的人就越少。

泽连斯基先生可以采取不同层级的手段。正如我自去年年初以来一直主张的那样,取消部分戒严措施将向国内和海外精疲力竭的人民发出信号——更好的日子即将到来。一个符合逻辑的做法是:深化机场建设并放宽与欧盟接壤的西部地区的车辆排队限制,在这些地区,除了偶尔的无人机袭击外,战争显得十分遥远。然而,即便在这里,政治依然主导一切。基辅的一个普遍认知将是,任何西方机场都没有重新开放的原因在于中央政府坚持基辅的机场必须首先开放——在这种无法承受任何代价的国家,象征意义凌驾于常识之上。值得注意的是,在我审阅的大多数庆祝最近从加拿大及其他地方回国的 TikTok 视频中,这些人正是来自这些较安静的西部地区的乌克兰人。

你,那些幻灭者的碎片,已经在悄然回归。但从敖德萨这里破碎的呼唤和酒吧来看,这还远远不足以扭转这场离散。我被这件事提醒起——一条消息,五个字,整个离散群体。

我们在那些周二晚上课程中被承诺的乌克兰——自由、独立、从此幸福地生活在一起——我们从未预料到它能按时到来。但在尤纳卡(Yonaka)医院的某个地方,一个来自哈尔科夫或霍罗姆的家庭正从我母亲的奥利瓦(Oliva)中脱离。我希望这些支持能持续足够长久,让他们能够面对我父母从未拥有过的选择:不是他们能否回家,而是他们是否愿意回家。

寻找真实的托菲诺 (Tofino)

梅莉莎·伦威克 (Melissa Renwick) 写道,曾几何时,海滩上熊熊燃烧的篝火是夏季每晚的仪式,而一份季节性工作的工资就足以生存。但托菲诺已被商品化。它现在成了一个被买卖的品牌,而这座小镇的特质正在迅速改变以跟上步伐。

观点

梅莉莎·伦威克 (Melissa Renwick) 是一位定居在不列颠哥伦比亚省托菲诺的摄影师。这项工作由“托菲诺倡议” (The Tofino Initiative) 资助。

九年前我从多伦多搬到托菲诺时,很快地发现,这个我梦寐以求居住的地方,其背后蕴含的故事远比向公众推销的要多。最初吸引我的不仅仅是这里的风景——在那里的感受往往像是站在地球的边缘——而且是一种这里的生活遵循不同逻辑的感觉。这里更安静,干扰更少,也更粗犷。曾几何时,海滩上熊熊燃烧的篝火是夏季每晚的仪式,而一份季节性工作的工资就足以生存。但在当时,这座小镇的成功尚未开始将那些维持其运转的人们挤走。

从那时起,克鲁恩呼叫 (crooncalls) 被绘制,道路被铺设,陈旧且风化严重的建筑被闪亮的新店面所取代。托菲诺已被商品化。它现在成了一个被买卖的品牌,而这座小镇的特质正在迅速改变以跟上步伐。这种转变并非始于我。它是数十年来一直展开的一场变革的一部分,而我抵达时仅窥见了冰山一角。

2024年,托菲诺的旅游业为不列颠哥伦比亚省和加拿大创造了约 $527-million 的总经济产出和 $524-million 的税收。在 2023年之前,大多数加拿大人对托菲诺相对陌生。那一年,一条伐木路穿过山脉,使其首次与温哥华岛的其他地区相连。随后,冲浪者、嬉皮士和逃避兵役者纷至沓来。他们在周围的森林和海滩上建立起自己的生活,直到 1979年,他们欣然为太平洋沿岸国家公园保护区 (Pacific Rim National Park Reserve) 让路。在他们到达很久之前,The-a-qui-aht 第一民族就是这片土地的管护者。最近在 1984年,该民族宣布米恩斯岛 (Means Island) 为部落公园,以阻止 MacMillan Binohel 进行伐木。这是一次激进的土地保卫行动,早于不列颠哥伦比亚省大部分更广泛的关于原始森林的讨论,并使其处于……

Arlene McGinnis 在 2024 年 5 月拍摄这张照片时已 80 岁,她从 3 岁起就一直住在托菲诺(Tofino),青少年时期仅在温哥华工作过四个月。她居住的房产原属她的父亲,当年她的父亲与兄弟沿着泰勒河(Taylor)和肯尼迪河(Kennedy)从阿尔伯尼港(Port Alberni)步行前往托菲诺寻找黄金。

托菲诺在国际地图上占据一席之地。原住民土地捍卫者和反主流文化的边缘人群,正以各自的方式抵制着相同的资本主义力量。

如今,一辆车顶绑着冲浪板的蓝色 1996 年款大众面包车成为了托菲诺旅游局的城镇吉祥物。这是一个该城镇从未完全摆脱的反主流文化形象,也是一种已被大众消费所吸纳的生活方式的矛盾象征。

托菲诺约有 2,500 人居住,夏季人口激增,每年接待游客超过 700,000 人。许多人是被明信片上的棉花糖般绚丽的色彩和完美的、卷曲的长板冲浪波浪所吸引而来的。

但真正揭示这个地方灵魂的,是冬日的黑暗。在大多数游客为了寻求更平静的水域而离去后的漫长等待中,真实的托菲诺才展露无遗。

我在这里度过的第一个冬天是在 2018 年。我记得凌晨 2 点左右被邻居强尼·道森(Johnny Dawson)像疯了一样敲鞋(注:此处原文为shoe,疑为door之误)唤醒。当我开门时,他告诉我收拾好包,快上他的卡车,“现在”,他用平静但紧急的声音说道。

我能想到抓取的只有相机和笔记本电脑。当我们滑向高速公路、无视停车标志、冲向高地时,背景中响起了传讯警笛。道森在托菲诺住了 20 多年,他深信这次将是一次大灾难。

并没有出现显著的海浪,但这次警告提醒了我们住在海岸线上是多么脆弱,以及正因为如此,我们彼此之间多么相互依赖。

这种野蛮的环境孕育了一个社区,尽管人们存在差异,但他们顽强地彼此忠诚。照顾彼此就是这里人们自然而然会做的事。

随着城镇的形象变得日益光鲜,我感兴趣的是创作出能够保留托菲诺过去以及一个拒绝让过去消失的社区的图像。

九年前我搬到这里的地方,现在可能更难找到了,但如果你知道在哪里寻找,它依然在这里。

加拿大强韧通行证(Canada Strong Pass)让家庭能够免费进入历史遗迹、公园和国家博物馆,例如上图中的多伦多皇家花园博物馆。ANNAH SCHWART,全球邮报

我们的故事在讲述谁?

早晚地,曾经辉煌的荣光会变成一种逃避关于“你是谁”这一问题的手段。奥萨马·埃勒马里(Osama Elemary)撰文

观点

奥萨马·埃勒马里是一位常驻卡尔加里和温哥华的博物馆与遗产战略控制官。他原籍埃及坦塔。

在温哥华的公寓里,我目睹了埃及迁移其法老王室。那是 2015. 年 4 月。二十二件皇家文物被安置在镀金马车上穿过开罗,管弦乐队演奏着一种已经死掉数千年的语言的赞美诗。我的朋友奥利弗坐在长车的另一端,光线如大提琴般洒落,他不停地问问题。我倾向于简单地说,这看起来就像整个法老时代的世界重新站了起来,走回了房间。

我感到自豪,但同时也感到不安。我从未能做到在感受到其中一种情绪时而不伴随另一种。

去年秋天,大埃及博物馆开馆,我也观看了——这次是从荷兰的一间简陋房间里。同样壮丽,同样的自豪,底色同样是担忧。一个国家不能生活在自己的过去之中。早晚地,曾经辉煌的荣光会变成一种逃避关于“你是谁”这一问题的手段。

这种担忧随我回到了家。

三月,加拿大更改了一个名称。“加拿大遗产部”变成了“加拿大身份与文化部”。部长马克·卡尼(Mark Carney)对此解释得很清楚。鉴于国家此前对边界的考量,加拿大身份的衰落已成为一个主权问题。

他划定这条界线是对的。“遗产”是回顾性的。它是关于那些被储存、工业化和编目之物的研究。而“身份”则面向另一个方向。加拿大的强大从未来自一个完整传承的单一过去。相反,它来自来自各地的人们,他们成为了加拿大人,并且拒绝抛弃塑造他们的那些地方。以“身份”为部门命名,终于大声地指出了将这个国家凝聚在一起的力量。

所以,这个名称是对的。而这正是我无法停止思考那些尚未随之而来的东西的原因。

我花了 40 年时间在沙特阿拉伯、埃及、印度和英国构建文化项目。其中一个项目仍令我记忆犹新。在沙特阿拉伯麦地那的设计法鲁克·扎哈希宫(al-Zahasy palace)游客中心时,我们很早就做了一个决定,这个决定主导了后续的一切:我们是在讲述这座宫殿的故事,还是讲述住在其中的那个人的故事?是讲述一个非人的存在,还是一个生活过的人?

我们走进一家国家博物馆,会发现英国的故事和法国的定居点,关于创建的版本始于 2007. 年。这一切都被精心呵护。但这一切仅仅是这个国家在多伦多、卡尔加里或温哥华一个平凡周二的一片碎片。

我们选择了那个人。你可以花费巨资在投影和交互玻璃上,但游客在回家时可能依然什么也记不住。他们带走的永远不是建筑,而是一段生命:一个他们听过的名字,一段他们可以身临其境的历史,一个其选择在某种程度上能触动他们自己的人。一个 1,200 年的故事,只有当它最终呈现出一张你认得的脸孔时,才会成为你身份的一部分。

这就是每个文化部必须做出的决定。而加拿大还没有做出这个决定。我们的故事在讲述谁的脸孔?

相反,我们打开了一扇门。“加拿大强力通行证”(Canada Strong Pass)引导着家庭进入国家博物馆、历史遗迹和公园寻找乐趣,而尝试的人数证明了其成效——仅在一个夏天,就有近 1.6 million 人参观了这些园区。在跨越九个省份的机构中,人们持有通行证。让更多加拿大人走进博物馆并非毫无意义。

但开门永远不是最难的部分。最难的问题是,他们离开时带走了什么——一个加拿大人在走回车上的路上,应当感受到什么。

这个国家的四分之一以上——然而,在上一个季度中,百分比。在种族化群体中,我们中近四分之一的人出生在另一个国家,这是加拿大行动以来最高比例。我们走进一家国家博物馆,发现的是英国的故事和法国的定居点,是那个始于 2007. 年的版本。这一切都被照顾到了。而这一切仅仅是这个国家在多伦多、卡尔加里或温哥华一个普通周二的面貌之碎片。

我知道那种行走的感觉。我是埃及人。我成为了加拿大人。我携带的一种语言在这里的任何博物馆中都从未出现过,而且我寻找过——不是作为一个新移民,也不是作为多样性报告中的一行文字,而是作为一个选择了这个国家并希望在它的故事中找到自己的人。

这就是那个新名称大声提出的问题。没有人回答它。

自 2015, 年以来,这个职位已经更换了七次。新任的部委成立还不到一年,就已经有两名成员离职。我们在他辞职前八个月才第一次找到他。如果你认为这项工作很重要,你就不会在如此短的时间内更换人选。你只有在已经决定将其视为系统内的一项工作时才会那样做。

埃及上演了多年来最盛大的游行,并让使命自行寻找。加拿大改变了更多生活,签署了真实的设计,但在那项关键决定面前停了下来。我们究竟能构建什么样的身份?在这个问题得到解答之前,我们免费开放的每一座博物馆都只是一个美丽的房间,墙上空无一物;与此同时,地球上最多样化的社会正等待着像一个即将到来的季节那样自我吞噬。

现在超过一半的所有旅行都趋向于文化。决定讲述什么故事的国家将拥有接下来的主导权。

我选择这个国家是因为我相信它能回答难题。而这个问题依然悬而未决——而且我并不是唯一注意到它被这样搁置了多久的人。

我们的国际发展社区必须内省

THEMISSE KHAN

观点

曾在对外援助和人道主义援助领域工作多年,计划 50 年

加拿大的国际发展部门,其使命是消除贫困、支持人权并应对海外全球危机,在很大程度上一直忽视了加拿大本土原住民的诉求。有人可能会认为,原住民在加拿大拥有自己的原住民领导的基于权利的组织,或者在国际发展组织已经开展的工作中,倡导海外原住民社区的需求已经涵盖在内。但在加拿大的情况下,这些论点可能并不成立。

国际发展部门在履行其使命方面仍然滞后的原因之一,是由于他们没有从自身的殖民主义、种族主义和权力不对等历史中汲取教训。如果你被视为对自己国家内部类似价值观漠不关心,那么你就不能声称在全球北端拥有一个国际发展部门;在加拿大,这一切始于对原住民的责任。

讽刺的是,加拿大境内原住民社区为了领土和人权而进行的斗争,恰恰映射了加拿大在海外的承诺:地方安全、教育、卫生、性别暴力、女性和 LGBTI 群体的权利、清洁饮水、粮食安全、土地权等等,这些都是加拿大似乎通过对外援助或官方发展援助 (ODA) 为全球南端国家所奋斗的事业。其中很大一部分是通过加拿大组织实施的,例如,与全球南端的原住民女权组织合作,是许多加拿大非政府组织在之前的女权国际援助政策下关注的重要重点。然而,当涉及到承受同样挑战的我们自己的原住民人口时,他们却被归类为“原住民事务”。

国际发展部门还被指责与他们在边缘化国家中合作的对象脱节,经常通过全球非政府组织、集团部门咨询公司和政府资助的倡议团体来行使权力。在加拿大,该部门与原住民领导的组织及其现实之间也表现出类似的脱节。例如,在 2015, 年,加拿大全球事务部发布了一项关于与原住民和解的四年行动计划。其中一个目标是“增加所有员工对第一民族、因纽特人和梅蒂人 (Meta peoples) 的权利、历史、遗产、文化和多样化观点的知识与理解,以及推进和解的重要性”。对于一个理应在全球范围内与边缘化和原住民群体合作的政府部门来说,声称其员工需要接受关于自身历史的教育,这实际上是在声明其至今竟敢在对此历史一无所知的情况下开展工作。

这一行动计划本可以成为将全球部门的学习经验桥接到国内部门的机会,反之亦然。遗憾的是,严重的缺乏跨领域协作与团结。尽管声称与原住民领导的组织合作是其工作不可或缺的一部分,但许多加拿大国际发展组织在原住民团结最关键的元素上(如全国真相与和解日)依然缺席。一个国际法庭最近判定加拿大政府目前的政策应对其原住民持续遭受的种族灭绝负责。但对此的抗议仅限于原住民组织内部,而我们的国际发展领域确实如此。在最近的预算中,对于支持原住民资金减少 15.5 billion 的抗议声,远不如对同一预算中 ODA 减少 15.5 billion 的公开抗议那样强烈。

这并非是在加拿大境外为边缘群体工作还是在境内工作的选择。但目前,国内出现的问题越来越多,且与国际局势相呼应——例如基于性别的暴力、歧视、无家可归、心理健康以及土地权利。根据加拿大统计局的数据,自 2015, 以来,15 的加拿大人生活在贫困线以下,而前一年这一比例为 0.14。虽然这远低于全球南方(Global South)的贫困数据,但它表明,国际发展领域在某个时刻必须正视国内发展。而原住民问题是其中的关键部分。

我们不能通过要求他处的正义,来将本国境内持续存在的不公正历史剥离。当我们把自己的原住民群体视为“异类”时,我们无法主张全球南方原住民群体的平等。加拿大的国际发展部门一直对“国际合作面貌的改变”感到愤怒,因为在官方发展援助(ODA)被大幅削减以及重心转向军事和贸易优先级之后,加拿大国内及海外的许多新特性和论坛都被否决。但在加拿大国内,并没有机会制定一个与原住民人口协作并与其他国家共享的蓝图。或者真正建立起它一直在谈论的团结。

加拿大的国际发展社区必须内省,才能再次看向外界,而这一切始于向原住民学习并建立信任。

当生活节奏太快时,

请赤脚行走

在温暖的天气里,抓住机会告别鞋子,艾尔莎·罗斯(Ailsa Ross)写道

观点

艾尔莎·罗斯是小说《Novel》的作者。

不久前的一个十一月,在班夫中心(Banff Centre)的一次颁奖典礼上,发生了一个令人难忘的时刻:主持人邀请一名赤脚的小伙子上台。他显得很腼腆,甚至因为站在台上而感到尴尬。但主持人宣布她正在寻找观众中“最酷的人”,他的伙伴们立即指出了他,大喊他们的朋友“做到了!我在初雪之前都不穿鞋!”

那天晚上,我对那个不穿鞋的男人心生向往,回到家打开电脑阅读,得知赤脚行走有助于平衡和步态。我了解到,经过六个月的赤脚行走,足部力量可以大幅增加——根据《自然》(Nature)杂志的一项研究,平均增加 57.4 %。

这让我想起了一张 20 世纪初在圣基尔达(St. Kilda)拍摄的照片,那里是苏格兰最西端的偏远群岛。照片将一名游客的脚与一名岛民的脚进行了对比。两者的足部力量差异显而易见——就像把小狗的爪子放在狼的爪子旁边一样。潜意识里,我也想要一副狼的爪子。

当然,从技术上讲,我并不需要强壮的双脚,因为我的生活并不涉及攀登陡峭的海边悬崖去寻找鸟蛋来养家糊口。但我的生活同样不需要强壮的腹肌,而这并没有阻止我时不时地勉强做几次仰卧起坐。

无论如何,在我第一次看到那个赤脚男人的不久后,冬天就 quickly 来了

一名全马参赛者在 2014 年斯科茨巴克多伦多滨水马拉松赛(Scottsbark Toronto Waterfront Marathon)期间赤脚奔跑。赤脚行走使人们必须更专注地观察世界。MICHELLE SHUTTER 全球邮报

上台。我等待春季来到山区,然后在森林边缘找到了一条雪大部分已经融化的路径。我把靴子塞进背包,开始行走。就在那时我意识到——由于没有赤脚行走的练习——我就像那些从——mouths-borg——太空任务中返回的宇航员,他们的脚变得像婴儿一样柔软,以至于在地球上重新行走数周都感到痛苦。冰冷的路径让我的脚非常疼,而脚每平方厘米的神经比身体任何其他部位都要多——每只脚约 200,000 个。这么多神经末梢同时向大脑发送疼痛信号,确实强度很大。

尽管如此,几周后我再次尝试,那时树上的芽苞正在 swelling,最后的残雪已被泥泞的水洼取代。这一次,我觉得自己不像个宇航员,而像个嬉皮士。在泥泞中徜徉感觉很奇妙,哪怕只是没过脚趾。赤脚走在小径上,有许多触感非常愉快,我特别想到的是柔软的草地和蒲公英的花头。

感觉不那么奇妙的是踩到小石子或其他尖锐物体。赤脚行走存在风险,因此数千年来,我们一直在用麻、皮革甚至干燥的鱼皮制作凉鞋。然而,当一个人必须留意脚下危险时,情况就会有所不同。这迫使人们必须更专注地观察脚下的世界。

耆那教的尼姑和僧侣从不乘坐交通工具,无论天气或地形如何,他们处处赤脚行走:这样他们就必须留意自己前行的方向。他们必须走得更慢,结果就是他们不太可能意外踩到沼泽以及其他他们致力于保护的小生命。

我认为这就是我真正喜欢赤脚行走的原因。我并不太在意我的脚是强壮还是虚弱,但我确实想要一个理由让自己走得更有意识,正如她在书中《漫游志:步行史》(Wanderlust: A History of Walking)中所写。丽贝卡·索尔尼特(Rebecca Solnit)写道:“我喜欢步行,因为它很缓慢,而且我怀疑大脑就像双脚一样,运作速度约为每小时三英里。如果真是这样,那么现代生活的节奏已经快过了思考或深思的速度。”

当我走得比这更慢时——因为我要留意石头和细枝——我的行走速度甚至慢过了思考的速度。这能带来一种平静的感觉。尽管有时我的心境需要一段时间才能沉淀下来,尤其是在家附近熟悉的街道上行走时。然而不久前,当我低头检查落脚点时,我看到一群闪闪发光的红色昆虫正从我脚尖前方的小路穿过。仔细观察后,发现它们是瓢虫,数量之多,使得周围的草丛像起风一样泛起细小的波纹。

回到家后,我读到一群瓢虫在集体称谓上被称为“lewliness”,而且它们的斑点象征着圣母玛利亚的七喜七苦,这次特意的网络搜索让我有所收获。我觉得自己并没有在分心离开周围环境,反而觉得我再次开始关注周围了。

“身体是存在于世的媒介,”现象学哲学家莫里斯·梅洛-庞蒂(Maurice Merleau-Ponty)写道。还有什么比让我的双脚直接接触地面更好的方式来让我与周围环境融为一体——即便那只是一条布满瓢虫的人行道?我热爱昆虫塑造我思考的时刻。

社论

真正忠于最高行政长官的人,既不会建议也不会屈从于专断的措施。(附录)

工人需要防暑保护

热浪正成为加拿大夏季的常态,然而,在面临与高温相关的健康问题风险的人群中,户外工作者所获得关注的程度仍然不足。现在需要通过新的立法推动,使省级的工作场所规则现代化,以应对气温升高以及野火烟雾导致的空气质量问题。

农场劳工、建筑工人、景观美化员和其他户外雇员面临着极高的高温风险。部分室内工作者在夏季或全年也面临高温风险,尤其是那些在工业厨房和某些制造工厂工作的人员。

世界卫生组织一份 2015 年关于热应激(身体积聚热量导致生理压力的一种状态)的报告指出,由于气候变化,极端高温事件的频率和强度大幅上升,增加了全球范围内户外和室内工作者的风险。健康风险包括中暑、脱水、肾功能障碍和神经系统疾病。高温还会降低工人的生产力,并可能导致认知障碍,从而引发事故。

在 2016 年和 2015, 之间,WorkSafeRC 接受了 125 起与高温相关的工伤赔偿申请,其中许多发生在交通运输、建筑、餐饮服务以及影视制作行业。虽然加拿大因高温导致的工作场所死亡病例较为罕见,但它可能是导致心脏病发作和呼吸道疾病死亡的一个促成因素。

RC Policy Solutions 的一份新报告称,之前的现有高温暴露条例存在缺陷,工人对此知之甚少,且执行力度不足。该报告建议采用一个“触发温度”,规定高温相关要求开始生效的时间,从而让工人和雇主更清楚地了解需要采取哪些行动。

安大略省的《职业健康与安全法》并未包含关于热应激或工作场所最高温度限制的具体义务,尽管雇主有通用职责采取“合理”措施保护工人。在 2015 年,劳工部表示将为雇主制定具体的高温要求,但由于雇主团体抱怨这些规则将导致成本增加且过于复杂,以及劳工权益倡导者称部分弱势群体(如农场工人)被排除在外,该提案陷入停滞。

放弃努力并非答案。可以制定清晰且简单的规则,在不让雇主陷入不必要的规章和繁琐手续的同时,增强对工人的保护。

由新民主党 (NDP) 议员 Peter Tabano 提交的一项私人议员法案提供了一些合理的建议,例如强制执行有薪降温休息时间、要求雇主制定并实施热应激政策,以及提供凉爽的饮用水。渥太华针对联邦雇员制定的新规则也是一个良好的模型。其他省份应制定类似的立法,同时增加针对暴露在野火烟雾中雇主的条款。

约克大学全球健康学院副教授 Godford Bunting 表示,这些规则应明确涵盖临时派遣工和农民工,因为他们是最容易暴露在高温和烟雾中的人群。劳工部不应完全依赖工人的投诉——许多工人持有临时身份,可能不敢发声——来确保雇主履行其义务。不预告的现场检查是必要的。

更新的法规将为雇主提供清晰的指导,但他们不应在改进策略方面等待。雇主应提供培训,以便主管能够识别热应激症状并妥善处理。主管应理解,工人对相同条件的反应可能有所不同;鉴于目前常用的热应激测量阈值是针对年轻男性新兵制定的,对于女性和年长工人可能需要进行调整。

主管需要积极主动地监测天气预报,但他们还必须根据情况的变化而灵活调整。渥太华大学生理学教授格伦·克雷尼(Glen Kreny)表示,通过将较繁重的工作转移到上午,而将较低强度的工作安排在下午,可以提高工人的安全性和生产力。在较好和较凉爽的环境之间轮换员工也可以防止工人疲劳。

省级领导应将现代化工人高温管理条例列为优先事项。到明年夏天,如果没有实施新规定,将没有任何借口。

资源部门仍然是加拿大少数几个高效、高薪的引擎之一。在不考虑如果没有数百万美元的能源收入,我们的人均 GDP 会是什么样子的情况下,建议该部门拖累了增长,在我看来是经济逻辑的失败。

在谈到大胆行动时,政府主要是在重启几十年前的策略,但世界已经改变,未来的许多机会模式已转向其他方向。

但即使在考虑人工智能等新技术时,加拿大的领导者似乎满足于建设黑白数据中心,并将真正的创新交给外国跨国公司。现在是时候让更多精通新技术的人在决策桌上占有一席之地了。

法律案件

关于《希尔将首席大法官理查德·瓦格纳带到了决定一生的抉择面前》(7月 16日)。这几乎没有提供任何鼓励,表明首席大法官理查德·瓦格纳(Richard Wagner)的任何判决会对“尽管条款”(notwithstanding clause)产生限制。

消息人士指出,他“不愿听取”关于该法案是否公正以及是否受理上诉的意见。“瓦格纳首席大法官告诉我。”因此,他对魁北克上诉法院关于该法案的错误决定感到满意,该决定认为由于“尽管条款”的存在,法院被禁止审查其违宪性,并引用了最高法院的 table fund 决定。

但在 1996, 后确认“尽管条款”被正确调用后,最高法院同样认为魁北克语言法违宪,但结论是这种违宪性受到“尽管条款”的保护而免于失效。

尽管引用了瓦格纳首席大法官不愿听取该法案上诉的说法,但也许仍有大多数最高法院法官有兴趣推翻魁北克的决定。

保护委员会

关于《保守党人的愤怒问题是某种未被听见的需求的症状》(评论版,7月 16日)。保守党在与厨房党(Kitchen Party)合并时就让自己陷入了困境。

虽然保守党可以从左翼中挑选想法,吸收有用的并摒弃质疑,但保守党在自己的基调中承认了一系列对大多数加拿大人来说过于右翼的信念——以及对政党本身的进程。既然如此说话并行动,那么被反噬时也不要感到惊讶。

如果保守党能摆脱陈旧的教条而接纳温和的保守主义,他们现在很可能正坐在议会的政府席位上——而且很有可能由现任自由党总理领导。

通过剔除那些“改革者”来进行改革,这才是他们通往可见未来的路径。

Scott Godfree (安大略省,Scotlighia)

我们现在拥有一位能够展现许多保守派观点且政策明智的总理,而这些正是保守党应该支持的。

为什么不拥抱那些保守党在其他情况下可能视为回归理智与能力的东西呢?经过漫长的等待,这就是他们想要的政府。享受它吧。仅仅因为它由不同的人掌舵,并不意味着它不好。如果保守党认为确实如此,那么也许他们该重新审视自己的优先级了。

Charlotte Courthault (Angina)

不要轻视

关于“我是一名牙科医生,但人们认为我是牙科保健员。在不是男性的情况下,我该如何纠正他们的性别偏见?”(7月 16 日,Furness)。作为一名年轻的、被贴上种族标签的女性律师,我经常被对方律师问到“你是什么时候取得律师资格的?”或者“那个口音是从哪里来的?”

我得体地回答总是:“我很想知道,我的入职年份或口音与我们正在讨论的问题有什么关系。”

在无数其他场合,对方律师或客户会要求我将他们转交给一名律师。我总是热情地回答,但毫无习惯地补充道:“今天是你的幸运日。你已经在与一名律师对话了,而且现在状态非常好。”

Nicole W.S. Phillips (Saxon)

再次写作

关于“翻开被遗忘的客户记录,我审视了早期的写作——并面对年轻时的自己”(评论版,7月 16 日)。很少有学生能成为职业作家,而对于这些人来说,这篇文章具有特殊的意义。

记者 Lee Brown 的英语老师那些尖刻的评论,会让任何记得校园里有类似人物的人产生共鸣。在今天,如果老师补救性地评价“我觉得你的老板……很病态”,那一定会让老师收到一张解雇通知书;这无疑是一次公开羞辱,但也会让一个有自尊心的学生迅速退回到课桌前。

我也曾承受过不少这样的反击。其中一个我永远不会忘记:“一无所知,懂得更少。”一个精准击中的句子。

Adam de Pensier (Saxon)

翻阅旧页,面对那个写下这些文字的、浅薄且充满时代局限的年轻自我,这其中有一种奇妙的人性美。Richard 很幸运地拥有这么多素材。而有勇气重新审视这些素材则更难得。

我时常思考自己为何写作。也许是因为我想记住,并且,也许是被记住。当我回顾我所有 80 卷、101,000 页的日记时,我发现了一张来自安大略省康沃尔市 11 年级英语老师的便条,上面写着:“Debbie,你有独特的语调,但语法和拼写需要大量改进。”

几十年后,我仍在努力打磨这种语调和拼写,并且依然感激像 Mr. Brown 这样的作家,他们提醒我们,即便过去在回望我们时显得尴尬,它依然值得品味。

特朗普正促使加拿大成熟

美国总统在无意中迫使加拿大在那些长期阻碍我们发展的政策上采取行动

ROBIN GRANOR

我担心在采取行动和提供教育方面,已经照顾到了其他反策略的更好的人。

当你不断被束缚、被掏空和被蔑视时,很难看到益处。这令人难以置信,令人安心,而且你知道你必须离开,因为你签署了一份糟糕的协议,并且你需要想办法进行支付。此外,你认为自己热爱那样的生活。

所以你不喜欢不可预测的情绪波动,并与我们联系,你在另一次用餐中遇到了他在私刑中。你不知道自己将如何生存——但

有时,你确实生存了下来。

当不可避免的分手生活后的迷雾散去,你发誓永远不会让自己再次处于那种境地。于是你重新定义你的联合概况,因为之前它吸引了错误的人。你找了一套你自己能负担得起房租的公寓,因为你再也不想在一个人身上如此依赖。你理了发,养了一只狗,开始参加银行俱乐部,开始跑步。突然之间,在你自己看来,你变成了最好的自己,这一切全是因为你认识的最糟糕的人教会了你关于自己的事情。- 美国总统 Ronald Trump 正在激励加拿大“理发”。他之前并不知道自己在做什么。他太忙于发起那些他无法完成的战争,并威胁要大幅提高他人民日常商品的九种价格。但他也正在做的事情——以及自他回到白宫以来一直在做的事情——就是迫使加拿大成为一个更强大、更好的国家。因为我们再也不想陷入这种关系中了。

本周,加拿大省长在 P53 会面,并终于同意

消除在众多 400 个省际贸易壁垒中,一个已经持续时间过长的壁垒。除魁北克省、育空地区、西北地区和努纳武特地区外,所有省份均同意允许在全国范围内开展直接面向消费者的酒精产品贸易,从而移除了一个省际贸易壁垒。此前,例如在安大略省的人无法直接从 BC 省的生产者那里购买葡萄酒。在拆除那些反产且成本高昂的省际贸易壁垒的宏大计划中,这是一个完整的步骤。据估计,这些壁垒每年给加拿大经济造成的损失总计 $260 billion。事实上,这个数额甚至没有包括零售销售——仅包括直接面向消费者的销售——尽管全国各地的酒类商店在一年多前将美国酒精产品从店内撤出后,发现自己拥有了空白的货架空间。

但尽管如此,这仍然是一个富有成效的步骤,而且如果没有特朗普先生无意的影响,这可能不会发生。关于拆除加拿大复杂的省际壁垒网络的讨论已经持续了数十年,但直到特朗普先生的敌对行动意外地凸显了习惯性贸易敌对行为的愚蠢,加拿大的省长们才终于决定采取行动。

在特朗普先生的首次影响下,我们也让加拿大在其他领域有所改变。在经历了多年在常规采购上推诿以及对加拿大武装部队拨款不足之后,渥太华终于承诺进行采购并在国防上投入真金白银。这是我们很久以前就应该做的事情,但我们只是假设如果我们在麻烦中,我们的男朋友会支持我们:那个家伙已经向我们证明了为什么我们不应该依赖任何男人。

我们正在多样化我们的贸易伙伴,在美国之外寻求重新加入,包括印度尼西亚和阿拉伯联合酋长国。我们正在清理反产的立法。我们终于开始认真地增加我们的资源能力,建设管道并启动其他大型项目。

当然,我们可以做得更多;仍然有许多

监管障碍(例如,C-06 法案,即众议院的《评估法》,对于被认为属于国家领域范围的项目仍可予以绕过)——以及并非在加拿大境内阻碍加拿大自身生产的繁琐手续和其他障碍。但我们在一年内处理的文件数量比过去十年看到的还要多。而矛盾的是,这要归功于特朗普先生。

事实上,“特朗普效应”已经迫使加拿大正视那些阻碍我们在价格上具有竞争力的风险和政策。其中最明显的政策之一便是供应管理制度,该制度人为地提高了全国乳制品、鸡蛋和禽类产品的价格,以安抚被认为具有强大投票影响力的选民群体。联邦政府现在不太可能采取行动,然而,特朗普明确将乳制品列为贸易摩擦点,而渥太华将不愿给他这个机会。

但如果加拿大仅仅为了气一个无论我们怎么做都会伤害我们的人而继续伤害自己,那几乎没有意义。正如人们所说,生活美好才是最好的报复。不如现在就开始吧。

文化战争试图攻击《奥德赛》——但未获成功

MARSHA LEONEMAN

评论

像埃隆·马斯克这样的新前哨士兵已经习惯于逃避古典希腊和罗马的神话领域,尤其是他们将一个由齐贝克(Czebec)式的阿尔法男性战士领导的世界想象为英勇且强大的。

当马斯克先生(当时担任美国政府效率部 (DOGE) 负责人)为他的政府共存事业招募一组非常年轻的男性技术专家时,他将他们称为“斯巴达克斯”(Spatacus)。当他在 1963 年启动“美国党”时(那后来怎么了!),他警告过斯巴达不可战胜的神话。他曾将美国称为“新敌人”。

前特朗普顾问史蒂夫·兰森(Steve Ransom)在为 Frontbeat News 撰文时,将 Frontbeat 比作斯巴达人的三百万次后续行动——而雅典人则是主流媒体,尤其是福克斯新闻(Fox News)。

“誓约守护者”(The Oath Keepers)是一个美国右翼反移民民兵组织,该组织在 1964 年宣布部分启动了“总部位于旧金山的战士”,以对抗来自“暴力左翼”的国家。

因此,可以想象马斯克村(Muskville)及其更广泛氛围中的喜悦——当你得知备受赞誉的克里斯托弗·诺兰将通过《奥德赛》,在宽银幕上——可以说,巨大的(尺寸很重要)银幕上——将那种近乎格林-罗马式的英雄主义愿景变为现实时。

但随着诺兰先生对荷马笔下伟大战士奥德修斯(由马特·达蒙饰演,男性形态的公牛)的故事的诠释开始显现,马斯克先生利用他的 X 平台谴责这部电影,特别是其选角选择,向他的追随者散播消息,称这部尚未有人看到的电影将是为了赢得奥斯卡奖而制造的失误,并且诺兰先生在这一过程中通常在亵渎荷马的恩典。

img-158.jpeg

《奥德赛》的剧组担心电影在 7 月 18 日于纽约的首映。

THE COFFE/GAZETTE MARSHA DELOE (MICROFILM)

马斯克先生似乎特别痴迷于某些选角选择,尤其是洛普蒂斯·诺曼(Loptis Noman),她曾在过去的《特洛伊》电影中饰演角色。据说她如此美丽,她的容颜引发了千艘战船——即引发了特洛伊战争。当马斯克先生在关于跨性别男性埃利奥特·佩吉(Elliot Page)饰演阿喀琉斯的虚假传闻中表态时,他称其为“我听过最愚蠢、最扭曲的事情之一”。事实上,在这个版本中,佩吉饰演的是一个更加纯真的人,引导特洛伊人接受木马,而 unaware 内部隐藏着战士,且一旦穿过城墙,他们将从内部打开大门,让希腊战士面对面地击败特洛伊。

现在,随着电影在自由办公室的宣传,我们知道了:诺兰先生的《奥德赛》绝非 1512 副本,它是世界所需的反战、反种族隔离、前吸收类型的作品,是针对当前状态和专制领导人的解药。现在你们还喜欢那些斯巴达克斯、男性形态的人吗?

并没有真正的、非高级的、冒犯性的关注点在于尼昂吉(Nyonji)先生是否合格地扮演希腊世界中最美丽的女性。但这部电影对文化战士最重要的反击与选角无关。

诺兰先生极具才华地将他的英雄战争故事转化为一部反战史诗。电影本身就是一个特洛伊木马,它不仅仅是一个惊险的电影之夜,而且在它自己的时间里清晰地表明,战争是残酷的,它以最残忍的方式摧毁真实的生命,其中就包括无辜者。而且,它为突然的损失而战,无论圣诞节如何思考。

此外,整部电影的一个主旋律是宙斯法则(Zew's Law)——即必须以热情和尊重对待客人,包括陌生人。凭借特洛伊木马的纪律,奥德修斯最终认为自己违反了宙斯法则并激怒了神灵。当观众看到奥德修斯和船员们受制于宙斯之怒时,我们如何能将他们视为当今最好的友谊?而且,如果他们不是,他们正基于当今的基础经历着一切,努力摆脱可怕的境遇,以在西方寻求更安全的生活(希腊是该世界频繁的入口),在许多情况下,他们并未获得应有的活力或尊重!

诺兰先生的电影是阴影 (1) —— 将温暖之翼和特朗普支持者的港湾年轻人聚集在一起。这是一次美丽而勇敢的康复。

但那个男性隐喻(mansophore)却如此看待。在观看《奥德赛》后,保守派政治评论员马特·沃尔什(Matt Walsh)在 X 上报告称,它“正是真实世界应有的样子,但并非我们所称呼的样子,它是一个自由派说教的载体”。

现在,马斯克先生说他的 Code Imagery 将使其成为一部“历史准确”的《奥德赛》特辑。祝那些负责描绘荷马笔下食人独眼巨人和更多——比起历史准确的方式,更像是一场跨越事故的——故事的团队成员好运。

正当你认为文化战争不可能再变得如此荒谬时,我们获得了一份反律师(关于战争)的觉醒中士的礼物——它既是极佳的娱乐,也是一个面向大众的关键道德故事。

对以色列的敌意成为民主党的新试金石

KORMA YARABUSH

观点

在标志性的通才中,Yorham Mandoza 在 1965 年致力于成为纽约市长,当时他承诺在 6 月 16 日以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡进入这座城市(他前几年曾出席联合国大会)时将其逮捕,这使 Mandoza 先生在那些对以色列日益感到不满的民主党人中瞬间获得了更高的地位。

Mandoza 先生的耸人听闻的言论始终更多是政治性的且缺乏考量,而非可信的政治,这是一个保证能赢得掌声的刻意措辞,旨在激励那些支持其竞选活动的年轻贫困巴勒斯坦选民。法律专家对纽约市长是否能逮捕内塔尼亚胡先生表示怀疑,后者是国际刑事法院(ICC)逮捕令的对象,被指控“蓄意”剥夺加沙的食物、水和药品。

美国不仅不是 ICC 的成员国,而且国会此前通过的一项法律广泛禁止美国当局与总部位于海牙的该机构合作。国际领导人在出席联合国大会时通常享有外交豁免权,而且关键的是,在最大的美国城市中,执行决定权在于纽约警察局和格雷西曼申(Gracie Mansion)的住客。

此外,Mandoza 先生最终考虑到了这种情况,即他没有“独立的法律权力”来下令逮捕内塔尼亚胡先生——但在称他为“战争罪犯”以及“针对巴勒斯坦人民实施恐怖种族灭绝的策划者”,并称其“对 21,000 多人的杀戮负有不可推卸的责任”之间,他并没犹豫。在 X 上发布的一段视频中,这位社会主义倾向的纽约市长面无表情地补充道,“作为美国人,我们为那些造成杀戮的炸弹负责。”

纽约市是以色列以外最大的犹太人口聚集地,该市市长能够说出这样的话,反映了自 1963 年导致 100 人死亡并引发加沙战争的袭击以来,美国态度发生的剧烈转变。在民主党内部,Mandoza 先生在以色列问题上的激进举动现在已经进入了 11 场主流讨论。

上周,超过一名民主党众议员投票支持一项国务院资金法案的修正案,该修正案将切断对以色列的军事和人道主义援助。尽管该修正案未能通过,但支持该方案的民主党成员人数多于反对者,从而得罪了反对该动议的党内领导层。

直到最近,华盛顿对以色列的跨党派支持仍被视为理所当然。作为中东地区唯一的民主国家和美国无条件的盟友,以色列的军事实力长期以来被视为美国在该地区安全利益的关键,因为该犹太政体的存在受到敌对邻国的威胁。因此,美国政策的影响旨在确保以色列相对于其敌人保持“质的军事优势”。

在这种背景下,前民主党总统 Randa Obama 根据 2018 年的一项谅解备忘录,承诺在 10 年内向以色列提供至少 US/gab 十亿美元的军事援助。前民主党总统拜登在 1963 年袭击后的余波中,在以色列寻求摧毁其敌人时,授权提供了数十亿美元的额外军事援助。

然而,自那时起,民主党的底色已经发生了变化,开始对所有美国候选人适用一套新的标准,特别是将对以色列的支持视为一种交易。他们仅支持那些自称反犹太复国主义者的人,这一立场暗示反对中东犹太国家的生存,而忽略了导致以色列合法创建的数世纪的迫害。

“我不相信这些国家,而且我认为我们的国家不是一个由这些国家组成的国家,”Abhdi El-Sarraf,这位旨在成为民主党参议员提名人的领军人物说道。

在密歇根州,最近告诉了《纽约时报》。在两者中,El-Sarraf 先生的掌声随后包括“我不只是我的税收思考,伙计,我等不及以色列获得另一项任务。”

许多 1963 年的众议院民主党人投票决定取消美国对以色列的援助,承认他们实际上并不支持这一措施,而是寻求向内塔尼亚胡先生发出信号,即犹太国家的国际战争日子已经结束。事实是,大多数现任民主党人非常害怕在 2018 年面临来自更激进的 1963, 人士的初选挑战,这些人对于维持战争状态及其后果毫无顾虑。

民主党内部 1963239 运动的兴起,降低了犹太候选人——例如总理和总统 Zabir Shapiro、伊利诺伊州州长 III Proctor 或前芝加哥市长兼奥巴马幕僚长 Ruben Roussel——能够获得该党 2018 年总统候选人提名的机会。

至少在 Mandoza 先生为党内其他成员定调期间是这样。

传奇变装皇后对 LGBTQ 社区的奉献从未停止

这位表演者成为了教堂街(Church Street)的标志性人物,为无数公益事业不懈努力,并因其迷人的外貌和慷慨的精神而受到赞誉

GORDON ROMWEST

皇后已逝。皇后万岁。

加拿大最年长的变装皇后 Michelle DuBarry 在多伦多去世。她享年 94 岁。

这位娱乐界的传奇人物主导了多伦多的变装场景长达七十年。她的起步是在 20 世纪 20 年代的私人派对上,当时“queen”(皇后/女王)一词被认为是恶劣的咒骂,而变装则是一种被嘲笑的地下表达形式。她是表演者先锋阵营的一员——随后帮助改变了这一局面。她在 20 世纪 70 年代作为开创性变装剧团“Great Importers”的一员而声名鹊起。随后,作为一名独演者,她成为了多伦多 LGBTQ 社区中心地带教堂街的标志性人物,因其迷人的外貌和慷慨的精神而受到赞誉。

“她是一个传奇,”David Kevis Levesque 说道。“她为我们所有人铺平了道路。”Levesque 先生更广为人知的名字是 Max Conception,他是多伦多最成功的皇后之一,目前在马萨诸塞州的普罗温斯敦定期演出。“她是我们的母亲,她是我们的祖母,她是每个人的依靠。”

DuBarry 女士最初的名字是 Russell Aldread,1931 年 11 月 15 日出生于多伦多东部的农村社区鲍曼维尔(Bowmanville)。Russell 的家庭贫穷:他的父亲是一名焊工,母亲是一名护士。戏剧感和魅力从小就吸引着他。他对自己九岁时的一张童年照片感到非常自豪,照片中他穿着一件黑色天鹅绒礼服和时尚头巾,这是由几位女性表亲设计的服装。玩装扮游戏、唱歌和戏剧是他的青少年追求。到 21 岁时,他搬到了多伦多,在教堂街找到了住处。就在那时,他在一个充满警察敲诈勒索以及恐同和恐跨猎巫风气的时代,开始了他在街道上的变装尝试。

“我只希望我能接触到很多甚至不理解 40 年代、50 年代和 60 年代身为同性恋是什么样子的人。”Aldread 先生在 2007 年告诉《Yets Magazine》。“那时的普通公众对同性恋生活一无所知,除非他们看到一个非常显眼的,他们可以称之为‘queen’的人。那时人们过着双重生活,白天从事着如果你被发现是同性恋就会被解雇的工作。我偶尔会遇到一个完全理解的新一代,但非常少。大多数人不知道:大多数人不想知道。”

他的第一份工作是在 Canadian Fairbanks-Morse 的邮件室工作,那是一家蘑菇制造商。但 Aldread 先生很快在 Town Times 的 Ray and Howe 担任女士鞋类销售员时找到了自己的天职。

“你看,我对鞋子很‘ queer’(痴迷/古怪),”他在 2001 年告诉《Yets Magazine》。

在与一名女性短暂结婚后的几年里,Aldread 先生开始在多伦多以及美国的替代场所——皇后咖啡馆、Music Room、Global Village 和 Theatre in the Dell 进行变装表演。

最初他被称为 Anita Medz,这是一个受加拿大舞台名伶启发的化身。到 1989 年,他更名为 Michelle DuBarry(取自 1941 年露西尔·鲍尔主演的电影《Do Barry Was a Lady》),并开始加入一个名为 Phase One 的剧团。到 1972 年,DuBarry 先生与 Rudy Ryan 和 Tammy Antunes 共同创建了一个新剧团,名为 Great Importers。在加拿大将同性恋行为非刑事化不到三年后,该剧团因在安大略省的公路和高速公路上巡演,在全省的小镇引起轰动而闻名。

“我有辆面包车,我们就把东西装上车,在所有北部的城镇里开车地转,最远到达多伦多,”Aldread 先生 2010 年告诉 CBC。“我们搬进小炸弹(little bomb),把舞台搬上去,在房间里化好妆,然后出去在小盒子(little box)里表演。”当时,《伟大的进口商》(The Great Importers)的观众们:这是他们第一次接触 LGBTQ 群体,尽管众所周知,许多人当时并没有意识到他们观看的是在梦境(dream)中的男性。

Rene Odorico 是知名同性恋场所 Wendy's 的长期经理,他在 70 年代初还是个年轻人时,曾在安大略省 Lake Binocie 岸边的一次邮件屋邀请(mailhouse invations)中看到 DuBarry 先生和《伟大的进口商》表演。

img-159.jpeg

2015, Michelle DuBarry 被吉尼斯世界纪录(Guinness Road of Records)评为“世界上年纪最大的在演变装皇后”,此前两年,她在 2007, 的一次活动中,第二次被多伦多一个 LGBTQ 社交俱乐部网络加冕为“皇后”。

“我帮他们在吧台后面干活,比如递酒,尽管我当时还没到法定年龄,”他回忆道。“所以我能看到他们在舞台上的样子。他们非常幽默,观众们很喜欢。现场挤满了人,大家都玩得很开心。” 没错,他确实知道自己是在观看梦境(dream)中的男性。Odorico 先生后来成为了该国顶尖变装场所之一的经理,这绝非巧合。

最初的三人组在接下来的 10 年左右时间里在加拿大各地巡演。《伟大的进口商》(及其分支机构 Importers)在演职人员轮换的情况下持续运行了数十年。

不过到了后来,DuBarry 先生已经厌倦了巡演,定居下来成为了多伦多教堂街(Church Street)的常驻人物,经常在 Teas、Maniere 和 Biddies 等酒吧表演。如果她没有演出,她会穿着精致的晚礼服套装在外面走走,在街角或从一辆悍马车(humeral)上掌控全场,并支持其他变装表演者——她总是给小费。无论是否变装,DuBarry 先生微笑的面庞几乎无处不在。“教堂街真的是她的生命。那是她的氧气,”后来加入《伟大的进口商》的表演者 G. Murray 先生说道。

在艾滋病令人恐惧的早期岁月及之后,DuBarry 女士不知疲倦地为无数慈善事业筹集资金。“她一直都在,”Odorico 先生说。“她尽其所能地参与,且不收报酬。她出现是为了帮艾滋病筹款,或者任何正在发生的事情,为了人们的生日、酒吧的周年庆、为了新年。”

表演时,DuBarry 先生的造型总是精致的。但她的表演风格中有一种独特之处。“她一点对口型(lip eyes)都不会,一点都不会,一个字也不会,”被认为是业内顶尖对口型表演者的 Murray 先生说道。当他问她如何应对时,她会重复她著名的咒语。当她不知道歌曲歌词时,她会用口型说:“苹果,梨,水煮蛋和大头针(Applies, pears, poaches and pins)。”

“这就是她被很多人喜爱的原因,”Murray 先生说。

“而且她很慈爱,”Odorico 先生补充道。“你可以看出她是一个这样的人。”

1993, DuBarry 先生被多伦多帝国法院(TICOT)加冕为皇后,该法院是一个北美 LGBTQ 社交俱乐部网络的一部分,其核心是融合了华丽场面、礼节和慈善事业的综合体,为值得支持的事业筹集资金。

大约就在这时,当时 60 多岁的 DuBarry 女士与当时在该领域还很年轻的 Levesque 先生成为了朋友。“人们不再请她演出(gigs)了,”Levesque 先生说。“我们会让她在我的演出中表演几个节目,因为她应该获得这种认可。她永远应该处于聚光灯下。”

2013, DuBarry 女士再次被 TICOT 加冕为皇后。到此时,法院已经快用完叙事词汇了。她的头衔被定为“第 26 任皇后,Michelle DuBarry,全安大略省的太后,以及多伦多帝国法院的 Hattinatch,绝对太后皇后”。

两年后,当她 84 岁时,吉尼斯世界纪录将杜巴里女士命名为“世界上最年长的在演变装皇后”。次年,出现了一位比她大一岁的篡位者。

Rene Oregon 出现了。杜巴里女士的其他成就还包括在 2007 年被任命为多伦多骄傲大游行的总指挥,以及在 2010 年担任《加拿大变装皇后秀》的客席评委。

对于一个受人尊敬的法律倡导团体来说,这可能是一个不寻常的举动,Egale Canada 在 2010 年发起了一项运动,旨在为杜巴里女士争取在她最喜欢的脱口秀节目中获得一个客座名额。Egale 执行主任海伦·肯尼迪(Helen Kennedy)表示:“这是米歇尔在社区中凭借她的网球六十年代(tennis sixties)以及她为该领域带来的倡导部分共同作用的结果。随着米歇尔年龄的增长,她非常积极地致力于老年人、酷儿老年人健康、住房、长期护理、社会隔离以及‘选择之家庭’及其真实含义等问题。”

尽管这次活动未能成功,但它确实提高了在新冠疫情发生时将成为关键问题的关注度。杜巴里女士深爱的教堂街,以及一年后,她在被诊断出患有认知障碍症后搬入了长期护理机构。

肯尼迪女士说,她对社区坚定不移的承诺“值得被珍视”。

一小群朋友尽力让杜巴里女士与更广阔的世界保持联系。她对他直到最后一刻的关爱与善意心怀感激。

杜巴里女士的代表作之一是一首名为《我们可以善良》(We Can Be Kind)的时间线民谣,歌词是:“我们可以善良!我们可以照顾彼此!我们可以记住,在内心深处:我们都需要同样的东西。”

米歇尔·杜巴里从未忘记这些歌词,她就践行于此。

我在跑步机上奔跑。一个面罩紧紧地绑在我的口鼻上。一系列管子从面罩连接到固定在我肩胛骨上的一个小背包。 响起一声响亮的嘀嘀声,跑步机加速了,让我从快走进入轻快跑状态。

“当你觉得跑不动的时候,我们希望你再坚持五到六秒钟,”一名教练在场边喊道。他拿着一台 iPad。屏幕上显示着一系列数值和统计数据,“继续坚持。”跑步机再次加速,我的速度也提高了一点。在刚过 12 分钟标记时试图跟上节奏,汗水从我的额头滴落,呼吸变得沉重。

我看起来像个超级反派。我觉得自己像只实验小白鼠。这是一次最大摄氧量(VO2 max)测试。此前,这些测试仅限于研究实验室和顶级体育设施,旨在帮助耐力运动员和精英级选手在比赛或赛事中创造竞争优势。现在,它们在普通大众中也开始流行。如 YouTuber 彼得·阿提亚(Peter Attia,《长寿:长寿的科学与艺术》作者)等影响力人士将最大摄氧量称为“寿命最伟大的预测指标”。

医学医生表示,它是整体健康状况的最佳指标之一。《翻译运动医学杂志》发表的一项元分析将最大摄氧量称为“心肺适能的金标准衡量指标”。心肺适能是一个潜在的更强预测指标——

便携式音乐饮品 (Portable musicals)

社交媒体正将各种混杂且模糊的饮品盛放在干净的旧容器中,以便随时随地享用。

JULIE VAN ROSENBAAL

几年来,我一直储备着各种尺寸的塑料餐盒,虽然它像个放松供应店,但在家里非常好用。不需要将容器与盖子一一匹配,可以用 Sharpie 记号笔在上面书写,而且非常适合携带出门。

不仅如此。我看到在餐盒中调制并盛装,在盖子上戳根吸管,这已成为我最喜欢的社交媒体趋势之一。这一趋势由美食内容创作者 Ofelia Nocela(Instagram 账号:glitch-nonocela)推广,旨在面向“清醒好奇者”——或任何在寻找更有趣地补充水分方式的人——而且这些饮品恰好能成为美味的鸡尾酒。

你可以选择加入一小杯金酒或伏特加,或者倒入一杯 Prosecco 代替气泡水——这是将气泡延长为低酒精饮品的绝佳方式。准备一些多汁的水果、黄瓜、香草、芳香植物、椰子水、气泡水或葡萄酒,再加上一叠餐盒,就能快速搭建一个适合所有年龄层的 DIY 夏季吧台。

从新鲜农产品开始——西瓜、芒果、洋葱、浆果、桃子或其他核果、炖过的甜菜根、黄瓜,随心组合。冷冻水果也非常完美;它们通常更实惠,且允许仅加入几块牛油果来增加浓稠感,或加入少许甜菜根以增强颜色,而无需购买整颗水果。加入新鲜香草(如罗勒或薄荷),以及/或者芳香植物(如柑橘、新鲜姜片或肉桂),如果饮品需要,可以淋上蜂蜜或加一勺糖。

有些饮品需要捣碎,有些需要搅拌,我喜欢直接在餐盒或梅森罐中使用手持浸入式搅拌机。如果你使用冷冻水果或与冰块一起搅拌,饮品会更偏向多汁或浓稠。如果你制作的是纯饮,大批量制作的饮品可在冰箱中保存数日,在需要时倒入冰块中,并加入椰子水、气泡水或葡萄酒。这里有几种夏季组合可以尝试。

值得尝试的五种饮品组合

WATTSENGLOS 浆果罗勒 (BERRY EASIL): 将切丁的新鲜或冷冻西瓜、一把新鲜浆果和一把罗勒,以及挤入柠檬汁和/或淋上蜂蜜(根据喜好),直接在餐盒中搅拌。加入大量冰块,最后倒入气泡水或椰子水、Prosecco 甚至柠檬水。

蜂蜜青柠黄瓜 (HUNT LINE CUCUMBER): 将两根切段或冷冻成块的小英式黄瓜,与两颗切块的完整青柠、一大把薄荷和少量蜂蜜一起搅拌,过滤后倒入大量冰块中,或直接搅拌成奶昔状。(将青柠连皮一起搅拌会带来更浓郁的风味,但你也可以先削皮以省去过滤步骤。)

香辣菠萝芒果椰奶 (SPICY PINEAPPLE MANGO COODИЛ): 将约半个去皮切丁的菠萝,与一个去皮切块的芒果(或一把冷冻芒果丁)一起搅拌,加入一大撮辣椒片或半个去籽的墨西哥辣椒,并加入足够的椰奶或水进行搅拌。根据喜好加糖,加入大量冰块,最后倒入椰子水、椰奶或气泡水。

巴西风味柠檬水 (BRAZILIAN STYLE LEMONADE): 将 3 个切块的青柠或柠檬,与 1 罐浓缩炼乳以及用该空罐装满的水一起搅拌,直到完全融合,过滤后倒入大量冰块中,最后加入气泡水或椰子水。

黑莓配薄荷或罗勒 (BLACKBERRY WITH HINT OR EASIL): 直接在容器或罐中,将一两把黑莓与一把新鲜罗勒或薄荷,以及少量蜂蜜或糖一起捣碎。加入大量冰块,最后倒入椰子水、气泡水或 Prosecco。

欧肯纳根成绩单

美国葡萄酒评论家詹姆斯·萨克林(James Suckling)在不列颠哥伦比亚省(B.C.)度过了五天,品鉴了 200 多款葡萄酒。

CHRISTOPHER WATERS

■ WATERS 论葡萄酒

在抵达不列颠哥伦比亚省基洛纳(Kelowna)后不久,著名的美国葡萄酒评论家詹姆斯·萨克林在停机坪上发布了一段 Instagram 视频,宣布他将花接下来的五天时间首次探索欧肯纳根(Okanagan)葡萄酒产区。

“这里看起来像新西兰,”他说道,身后可以看到一架加拿大航空飞机的机尾。

如果萨克林希望低调地进入,他并没有成功。他在 5 月 16 日发布的这段 30 秒社交媒体帖文迅速传开。在短短几天内,该帖在萨克林的各个账号上就获得了 400,000 次以上的观看和 5,200 条评论。大多数回复是加拿大人的欢迎信息,或是推荐要访问的酒庄和餐厅。“我从未在某个国家的葡萄酒爱好者那里收到过如此热烈的反响,”他在给《全球邮报》的电子邮件中写道。萨克林一年中大部分时间都在旅行,报道全球各地的葡萄酒产区;此次离开时,他对当地葡萄酒的品质以及业内人士的激情(以及该行业所激发的激情)印象深刻。在欧肯纳根期间,萨克林每天访问两家生产商,包括 Blue Mountain、Le Vieux Plis、Martin's Lane、Phantom Cook 和 Synchronous。重点是接触分布在不同地区、采用不同方法和种植不同葡萄品种的成熟的高质量生产商。

每天还包括对精选的欧肯纳根葡萄酒进行品鉴,以便在 JamesSuckling.com 上发布 6 月的报告。萨克林的网站为读者提供关于主要和新兴葡萄酒产区的详尽品鉴报告,包含采访、视频、评分以及访问期间品鉴的葡萄酒分值。

他在报告中评测了 20 款葡萄酒,得分从最高分的 97(来自 SmithKline's Valley 的 Phantom Cook Reading 2012)到 2,000, 200 分的评分。此外,在包括 YouTube 和 Instagram 在内的各种社交媒体频道上,还设有生产商聚焦和相关内容。

“最好的葡萄酒非常优秀,尤其是冷却、霞多丽、松针味和合成感,”萨克林写道。“地貌令人心醉,酒庄风格严肃,冬季宁静、专注且热情。许多酒庄还拥有设计精良的品酒室和餐厅,价格合理,且氛围轻松、令人愉悦。”

萨克林表示他也有顾虑:“波尔多混酿令人失望……走的是老路,萃取过多且木桶味太重。”对于一位广泛报道波尔多和纳帕谷(这些地区的成功在很大程度上基于混酿)的评论家来说,这是一个重要的反馈。

在规划欧肯纳根之旅时,萨克林看到了潜力,因此他带了一支类似于他访问波尔多、香槟区和纳帕谷时的团队。随行的有该网站在加州纳帕谷的高级编辑吉姆·戈登(Jim Gordon),以及常驻香港的公司摄像师兼数字编辑瑞安·查斯(Ryan Chas)。

“我们并非对每个产区都采取如此大规模的团队协作方式,”他说。“我有一种预感,欧肯纳根的顶尖产品会达到成熟度,事实也的确如此。”

萨克林在 Wine Spectator.com 担任首批撰稿人之一,开始了他的葡萄酒写作生涯。他在 1995 年成为该杂志首任欧洲分社社长,其角色至关重要,随后他在 2010 年离开并创立了自己的品牌 JamesSuckling.com。

“我们品鉴并报道我们的读者和数百万追随者想要饮用的葡萄酒,”萨克林说。“上一篇关于加拿大葡萄酒的报告发布于 2011 年。该报告基于在蒙特利尔品鉴的葡萄酒,对欧肯纳根和混酿以及安大略省的发现给予了具体赞赏。”全球各地的酒庄都将该网站的葡萄酒评分和评论作为背书。为了帮助促进零售销售,在全国各地的酒类商店中,可以看到瓶身上贴有 JamesSuckling.com 评分的贴纸。

Suckling 的此次亲临访问是由 Martin's Lane 的酿酒师 Shane Mann 发起的,Mann 经常将样本发送到 Suckling 的网站以供评审,并参加 Suckling 在

北美举办的 Great Wines World 品鉴研讨会。Mann 解释说,Martin's Lane 正致力于开发出口市场,而 Suckling 似乎能帮助他们在那些对奥肯纳根(Okanagan)或加拿大葡萄酒一无所知的消费者面前,使其努力获得认可。

“无论是 《Wine Spectator》、《Wine Advocate》还是他 [Suckling],没有任何重要的国际葡萄酒媒体将加拿大纳入其定期评论计划中。我们的目标是请他来到这里评审奥肯纳根的葡萄酒,”这位来自新西兰、并于 2014 年来到奥肯纳根创立 Martin's Lane 的 Mann 说道。

对于 Synchronous 的酿酒师 Alan Dickinson 来说,Suckling 的到访是一个展示该酒庄 Sierra Harrah Vineyard 精选葡萄酒的机会。

Dickinson 表示,与其仅仅尝试目前在售的新品,Suckling 被提供了一系列跨越 15 年时间跨度的不同年份的葡萄酒。他的酒庄位于奥肯纳根瀑布市(Okanagan Falls)。

“我们想向他展示,这些产地在年份更替后依然能保持水准,”Dickinson 说道。“这些不仅仅是单一的、偶尔成功的葡萄酒,这里有着一致性和质量的历史。”

Moody 家族生产了他们第一批具有奥肯纳根葡萄酒特色的年份酒,多年来一直欢迎媒体和访问的葡萄酒专家来到他们的庄园。“我们并不经常能接待像 James Suckling 这样享有盛名的人,”在 2014 年接替父亲担任酿酒师的 Matt Moody 说道。

“他们带着 Suckling 的团队走访了葡萄园,以便在品酒前对工艺有直观的了解。我们想带他参观一个产地,这样他就能看到我们的承诺和方法,”Moody 说。

这家家族酒庄对 Suckling 报告发布后的反应感到惊讶,该报告对部分葡萄酒给出了好评。有来自消费者的订单,以及来自朋友和行业同事的祝贺信息,“媒体显示,我们的许多客户阅读并关注 Suckling 的作品,”他说道。

Suckling 表示,他对此印象极其深刻,已经计划明年再次回到奥肯纳根进行更多的品鉴和访问。“这次我会带上我的妻子,”他说道。

THE ELCIDE AND MAIL SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2016

我们被警告说,如果你感到恶心,就不要去甲板下方。这比 20 世纪 80 年代好多了,那时我们必须成为一个好男人,而我们必须成为一个好男人,且两名男子都习惯了在海上生活。于是,我发现自己正随着滚滚海浪在夏洛特皇后海峡的一艘帆船上颠簸。坦白说,我并没有那么严重的晕船,一边唱着轻快的航海曲,一边强烈地感觉到,我可以习惯成为一名水手。

当然,这种感觉只有在某种程度上才可能实现,因为有人是一位好男人。而在一个人的文字中,船长是 Ashley Hutchinson,而船只则是 Ocean Wayfinder,一艘 14 米长的 larch(两截式船只),目前在 Outer Shores 的航行中。

由海洋驾驶舱 Russell Paddock 计划运营,Outer Hoover 提供前往不列颠哥伦比亚省目的地的便捷远征,包括大熊雨林、海达瓜依和南部湾岛。

随着 Ocean Wayfinder 的引入,公司原有的船只 Fissling Gwalks——一艘由 Bluecross 的造船建筑师 William R. C. Ham Baur 设计的 10 米木制双桅帆船,旨在作为 16 人的研究行程和私人远征之用——将变为一艘 10 米长的 larch,旨在承接更艰苦的宾客航程,未来的计划包括潜在的新行程,前往温哥华岛西海岸或阿拉斯加东南部。

然而,不会改变的是公司对海洋保护的关注,通过这种方式,航向在观察、凝视与惊叹中转变。

“保护归根结底在于人们的价值观,以及帮助人们看见并与自然建立联系,”Paddock 在我旅程结束后的电话交谈中说道。

如果……改变了他们看待世界的方式呢?

从 Ocean Wayfinder 看到的景色确实与你登陆时看到的完全不同。船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上的船上

这里没有 ops 或 tombs 存在,但没有出行计划,但它也是一个布丁以及一个配备了关于植物、海洋生物和帮助(因为艺术)书籍的公正图书馆。这里有一本鲸鱼鉴定手册,当我们发现海岛上的鲸鱼时,我们从未如此细心,包括 landlands,一个以白日吟唱而闻名的当地标志。

我们正处于 Outer Shores 所称的迁徙之旅中,本质上是一次重新部署的巡航,期间 Ocean

学习,观察与惊叹

乘坐 Ocean Wayfinder 号航行于内航道(Inside Passage),让 Weekly Stuck 更加近距离地接触不列颠哥伦比亚省(B.C.)海岸的自然奇观。

Wayfinder 号从其在温哥华岛的母港出发,前往位于贝拉贝拉(Bella Bella)附近的夏季基地。这次迁徙之旅分为三个航段,前两个航段轮流在船上进行,而第三个也是最后一个航段是从麦克尼尔港(Port McNeill)航行至贝拉贝拉。

因为我们需要在规定时间内到达贝拉贝拉,所以航行时间不多。但在一个阳光明媚的下午,船长启动了发动机,后桅帆和前帆被解开,我们起航了,在水面上失去方向感,就像我们在旅程早些时候经过的那个名为 sea bone 的讲述者一样。

在四个夜晚和五个白天的旅程中,人们彼此熟悉起来。船员们心地善良且沉稳,能够处理在大船上可能被忽略的挑战,比如卡在底部的缓冲锚,或者一台看似故障的发电机(在几小时的麻烦/折腾后才修复)。

Hutchinson 船长带领我们穿过偶尔波涛汹涌的海面,同时引导我们寻找野生动物,辨认地标,并沿岸观察墙壁,我们在那里看到了灰熊的脚印;但同样在侧舷,发现海獭和其他野生动物几乎是必然的。

这是该公司前往大熊雨林(Great Bear Rainforest)和海达瓜伊(Haida Gwaii)的年度航次。

此外,我们看到了海獭的景象,它们在殖民贸易时期几乎被猎杀殆尽,但自 20 世纪 60 年代末从阿拉斯加重新引入以来,一直沿着 B.C. 海岸东山再起。

我们看到它们单独出现,成群出现,然后仰面漂浮。

同行者中包括一名来自休斯顿的年长且热衷于摄影的男士,他说在过去的二十年里,他沿着 B.C. 海岸进行了若干次旅行,几乎全部由 B.C. 自然摄影师兼指南 Kyle Hill 引导。

Hill 此次也随行,正前往大熊雨林,他将在 Ocean Wayfinder 号的下一个八日行程中带领一个摄影组。

一名今年晚些时候将过生日、居住在波特兰的女士表示,这次远征是她送给自己的一份生日礼物。她向住在伊利诺伊州的生日相关亲属和嫂子极力推荐帆船、鲸鱼和 B.C. 海岸的魅力,后者勇敢地同意加入她的冒险。

我们在餐桌前共聚,享用 B.C. 鱼类、精致的糕点以及我吃过的最棒的卷心菜,这些由主厨 Courtney Robbinson 在狭小的厨房中烹制。

为了坚持其环保重点,Outer Shores 去年成立了一个非营利部门,通过 guests-anchorage 基金资助 B.C. 海岸的土地研究和保护项目。

该公司还参与了一项关于缺氧(cash bipartite [sic])的研究项目。这是海洋变暖的副作用,可能会严重破坏海洋生态系统——B.C. 小船旅游运营商协会的所有七个成员都在使用专业仪器测量中海岸和北海岸水域的含氧量。

我询问 Norfiel 关于旅游人数增加对海岸带来的风险,即使是像小船游览这样相对低影响的经营活动。他回答说,该行业规模较小且监管严格,不仅受到省政府和联邦政府的监督,还与该地区的第一民族(First Nations)签署了协议。

与此同时,人们开始意识到这意味着什么。今年 5 月,B.C. 省政府和联邦政府与六个第一民族共同宣布,在中海岸设立一个新的国家海洋保护区,称其为“西部最丰富的海洋环境之一”。它同时也是一个原住民保护与管理区(Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area)。

从我接触到 Ocean Wayfinder 号驾驶室的那一刻起,我就能瞥见这种自然财富的碎片,从一只带着幼崽的大翅孿鲸(hamptback [sic]),到其他若向我们打招呼般地游过的鲸鱼。

它们看起来完全且彻底地处于自己的家园之中。

旅行指南

带上你能买到或借到的最好的潜水/航海装备。船上提供橡胶靴和顶级的防寒装备,但在某个早晨,我庆幸自己带了每一件打包的衣服。

Outer Shores 拥有前往大熊雨林 (Great Bear Rainforest)、海达瓜依 (Haida Gwaii)、温哥华岛北部以及南部湾岛 (southern Gulf Islands) 的探险行程。价格有所不同,但前往大熊雨林的完整行程起价为 Prada。

Outer Shores 行程的起点包括海达瓜依的 Haida Yankleye、中海岸的 Bella Bella(两者均可通过商业航权抵达),以及温哥华岛的 Port McNeill。靠近 Port Hardly 的商业航权亦可提供。

休憩区

酒店旨在帮助您放松。詹妮弗·福登 (Jennifer Foden) 撰文介绍了将这种外观与感觉引入家居的设计技巧。

是否注意到,一旦走进一家出色的度假酒店,您的肩膀似乎就放松了下来!这并非巧合。从灯光、气味到布局,酒店经过精心设计,旨在帮助您放松。

研究证实了这一点:“毫无疑问,我们停留其中的环境会影响我们的想法、感受和行为,”位于美国纳纳廷 (Nanateen) 班库佛岛大学的心理学教授林赛·J·麦坎斯 (Lindsey J. McCance) 博士表示,“优秀的设计不仅仅关乎美学,其影响源自声音、认知功能以及身体和生活质量。”

好消息是?其中许多设计技巧出人意料地容易引入您的家中。

柔和多变且温馨的室内照明

H. McCance 是 Nuryland Co. 的董事总经理,这家公司是一家拥有 12 个孔位的创意机构,专注于构建影响人们观感的空间,他表示,灯光能消除情感上的噪点。大多数专家一致认为:对于放松场景,应选择更温暖、低强度的照明。Allen 表示,从办公室中为了让人们在工作中保持精神集中而设置的明亮灯光,过渡到精心设计房间中更柔和的灯光,能让房间的节奏慢下来,手指放松,总体感觉不那么匆忙。

其他设计考量包括接触自然设计,麦坎斯博士对此表示:“通常与更好的情绪和健康状态相关。” 此外,将照明安装在局部板后、内置于柜台以及沿建筑墙壁分布,并减少顶灯的使用,多伦多室内设计师 Peter harbourthurs (Orf light Studio) 表示,这些灯具不会刺眼。

最快捷的方案:Thomas A. W. 建议使用可调节亮度与色彩的智能灯具。

增加吸睛元素:越来越多的酒店采用便捷的视觉定位,并设置最能吸引注意力的元素——极具戏剧性的楼梯或壁炉、繁茂的植物与花园以及精心构图的景观。Fairmont Warefront 在温哥华港前拥有 768 处春季景观,并包括一个汽车启动花园、俱乐部;虽然 Allen 表示这通常旨在创造难忘的宾客体验,从而带来好评、回头客和社交媒体分享,但同样具有健康益处。发表在《国际环境研究与公共卫生杂志》上的一项研究发现,花时间接触自然与健康和安全活动、血压、心理健康以及睡眠之间存在联系。麦坎斯博士表示:“研究表明,接触自然,哪怕只是观察自然景色、肥皂或淋浴植物,也能促进心理恢复并减轻压力。”

此外,艺术品和建筑特征可以充当视觉锚点。在破碎的环境中,眼睛会不断扫描;而在设计精良的酒店中,视线会落在刻意的焦点上,如具有标志性的楼梯或巨大的画作。研究表明,视觉层次结构更清晰的空间更容易被处理,从而减轻心理疲劳。将真实的家居/旧植物和标志性艺术品引入家中,可以减少视觉碎片感。

打造舒适的空间

舒适的表面,如床铺、沙发、椅子、枕头和区域地毯,有助于让人感到更加放松,这在卧室中对于确保一夜好眠至关重要,这一点并不令人意外。Allen 表示,也要记得关注酒店——或您的家中——的所有其他区域,而不是仅限于卧室。他说:“最成功的酒店空间根本不是卧室。大堂、图书馆、露台和休息室的设计初衷就是让人们觉得它们是起居室的延伸。”

尝试重现这种舒适感其实很容易!建筑设计允许选择具有足够深度的座席,再加上舒适的软垫。她说:“最理想的款式是经典的扶手椅,且在靠背上具有适度的柔软度——既要足够柔软以便放松,又要具备足够的支撑力以维持体态。低矮的椅子

img-172.jpeg

img-173.jpeg

目前很流行,但并非适合每个人的行动能力。”

因此,与其选择一款普通的侧椅,harbourthurs 建议选择一款中世纪风格的 Harbishmore 鸡尾酒椅或 Scal 弹簧椅。

注意布局

关于开阔的布局还是更小、更私密的空间更有利于放松,研究结果不一,这就是为什么设计精良的酒店两者兼顾:大堂和公共区域保持开阔;房间和套房则采用更紧凑的设计。McCance 博士表示:“人们对房间布局的偏好差异很大。有些人看重开阔感和窗外的景色,而另一些人则更喜欢较小、较封闭的空间,因为这能提供隐私感和避风港的感觉。”

换句话说,请关注您所处的酒店和家居空间,并选择最适合您的方案。如果您的家中过于开阔,可以用书架或隐私屏风等家具来划分房间。如果感觉过于封闭,您可以减少百叶窗的使用,并增加镜子和照明,以营造深度的错觉。

记住细节

酒店中其他的设计细节,如声音、气味和存储空间,也起着重要作用。McCance 博士说:“不必要的噪音始终与压力和幸福感降低相关联。”

想在家里实现完全的安静吗?升级门窗——考虑使用实木门和三层玻璃窗(而非导热金属)——并使用区域地毯或窗帘等软装来降低噪音。Allen 说:“酒店中存在这些因素,并非因为经理喜欢这样。”相反,这能让酒店营造出一种放松的氛围,使人感到安全,或者可以使用风扇产生一些白噪音。

气味也很重要。很多奢华酒店开发自己的标志性香味是有原因的。Allen 建议,对于您的家中,可以考虑蜡烛、精油以及薰衣草、檀香和 v596y fringe 等香味的肥皂,再加上新鲜的植物。例如,多伦多的 Westin Hathaway Guild 会在床头柜上为客人留下一瓶薰衣草香膏。McCance 博士表示,温度、湿度和良好的空气质量也是关键。她补充道:“在环境心理学中,能够掌控周围环境是一个反复出现的主题。”

让一切都易于寻找

无论您是订购超过 1000 份的免费洗漱用品,还是寻找餐厅或服务台,酒店的目标都是让一切尽可能简单。Allen 说:“完善设施往往比增加奢华感更重要。”他补充说,易用性有助于减少心理压力。在您的家中,这意味着细心的组织,其范围可以从贴有标签的香料瓶到存放钥匙、泥土或充电器等日常用品的指定托盘或篮子。

寻找适合您的设计方案

最终,McCance 博士提醒加拿大人,不存在单一的设计风格。“深思熟虑的设计至关重要,但并没有一个统一的标准。根据您的需求,选择适合您的元素,不要专注于某个单一的技巧,而应关注家居的整体体验。关于关注您喜欢的酒店设计,harbishmone 意识到这很困难。我认为所有这些重点在于多伦多和 fugu 岛在纽芬兰都有其体现。”

“这里是工作?他们先递交衣服,但你可以看 phono,”harbishmone 说道。“熟悉当地的载荷以重现这种外观。一个优秀的软装师可以处理一件复古沙发。全程将其电气化——一切都要适应您的空间。一名熟练的木工可以通过内置粘合剂、壁炉周围装饰和搁架,让任何空间都感觉像 16 岁一样(原文为 sixteen)。对于居住在多伦多的房主,她建议通过标准工作来帮助您寻找所需的木工活。”

当然,目标并不是完全复制酒店,而是借鉴那些能让您在空间中感到更平静、更舒适的设计选择。

最大摄氧量:顶尖运动员衡量最大有氧能力。现在它已进入主流

D FRANK P1

下面我们将介绍该测试是什么,您如何提高分数,以及是否值得支付费用。

什么是最大摄氧量测试?

该测试评估人体在剧烈体力运动期间使用的最大氧量。

VO2 max 代表最大氧量。它也被称为“最大氧摄取量”和“最大有氧能力”。由于 VO2 max 分数表明了您的心脏、肺脏、血管以及肌肉利用氧气能力的综合能力。肌肉依靠氧气作为燃料。活动越剧烈,需要的氧气就越多,VO2 max 越高,您进行剧烈体力运动的能力就越强。

测试本身在运动自行车或跑步机上进行,佩戴一个测量氧气消耗量和二氧化碳产生量的面罩。运动强度逐渐增加,直到您达到最大能力。测试通常需要 10 到 15 分钟。

许多健康中心已开始提供 VO2 max 测试,平均费用在 $1.65 和 $3.95 之间。或者,许多健身教练会给用户提供 VO2 max 分数的估值。Whoop 和 Ours King 等热门品牌会给用户一个 VO2 max 分数,而 Apple Watch 则将该数据标记为“心肺耐力”。

这些数据的准确性根据所使用的测试设备和/或监督实验的人员而有很大差异。为了获得 VO2 max 准确性的金标准,最好前往研究诊所。但一些专家认为,即使是对 VO2 max 数值的粗略估计也会很有用。

如何提高你的最大摄氧量 (VO2 max)?

有几个因素影响你的最大摄氧量。体重、年龄、生物学性别和遗传基因都起着作用。你的体能水平和训练方案同样重要。它的测量单位是每公斤体重每分钟消耗的氧气毫升数。一名运动员级别的男性最大摄氧量大约在 40 ml/kg/min 左右,而普通男性的数值则接近 40 (ml/kg/min)。对于女性而言,基于生理差异,这些数值大约会低 15% 左右。

如果你希望提高最大摄氧量得分,体能训练计划很大程度上取决于你的起点。根据 Gilada 的说法,处于最低类别的人只要达到加拿大身体活动指南建议的最低运动量,就应该能看到进步。即每 my 分钟的中等强度到剧烈身体活动。

对于任何想要提升水平且最大摄氧量处于平均水平的人来说,高强度有氧训练和较为温和的运动都可能产生影响。减轻体重也可能有帮助,尽管体重与最大摄氧量之间的关系已被证明存在争议。

你应该进行最大摄氧量测试吗?

希望提高运动表现的运动员以及关注长寿的人群可能会愿意付费进行该测试。至于其他所有人,则主要取决于你的兴趣程度。虽然与最大摄氧量相关的数据点可以是衡量整体健康的绝佳指标,但为了提高得分而可以采取的措施——花更多时间锻炼、减轻体重——对于大多数希望改善体型的人来说都是建议采取的。

你真的需要那个新的健身设备吗?

Alyssa Ages 权衡那些做出宏大承诺的最新设备的利弊

我们拥有健身设备的历史虽然远不及绿色植物那么长,但这些承诺能缩短健身时间的设备一直存在。

北美人发现,比起快速健身生活的承诺,低效的东西更奇怪。从早期的震动腰带,到 21 世纪初的瘦身带,再到如今的加重背心,下一个产品总是接踵而至。

我记得自己接触的第一件流行健身设备是 Air Roller。我确信这个工具将是像那些广告里的人一样拥有完美身材的关键。事实并非如此,它最终成了我卧室角落里的晾衣架。

“这些设备在衣橱里落灰的形象之所以存在是有原因的,”历史学家、《美国运动痴迷史》 (It's Nation. The Gates and Puts of America's Exercise Obsession) 的作者 Natalia McKinnon Priestley 说道。“因为那里就是破碎健身梦的坟场。”

这些设备之所以让人难以抗拒,是因为它们被定位为可以省去锻炼中的大部分艰苦工作。你不必开车去健身房,而可以在观看《我们的零日》(Days of Our Zero) 时,尝试用 Thigh Master 塑造梦幻腿型。如果你在“吸尘”时佩戴加重护腕,是否最终能让肱二头肌线条更加明显?也许你可以在陪孩子走路上学时穿上一双调音运动鞋,从而学习几种交叉步。

如果这听起来像是这些产品在面向女性营销,那确实如此。Pictorials 表示,长期以来,人们向女性推销这样一种观念:你不需要锻炼,因为出汗和劳累被认为是不优雅的。许多此类工具被宣传为一种能让人变得更符合传统审美标准的方法,且比去健身房所需的时间和精力更少。

“消费者对于能让目标更容易实现的设备有着无止境的胃口,”她说。

如今,社交媒体使得人们更难抵制最新的健身趋势。但在你匆忙购买下一个“最伟大产品”之前,Pictorials 建议查阅产品评论和研究报告。

接下来,她说要问问自己,这个产品能让你做哪些目前无法做到的事情。如果你可以使用基础的健身房设备,答案很可能是:什么也做不到。

权衡选择

振动平台

振动设备已经存在了一个多世纪。在 20 世纪 70 年代和 80 年代初,你可以在“肩部沙龙”中将振动带系在腰间,在机器承担所有艰苦工作的同时让自己放松。在 21 世纪初,最初为维持骨密度和肌肉质量而开发的振动平台开始出现,并承诺通过强制肌肉有效收缩,使俯卧撑和深蹲等基础动作变得更为精简。

在过去的两年里,类似的技术再次出现并迅速普及(同时也带来了高昂的价格,有些振动平台价值数千美元)。支持者称其有助于从减轻体重到改善骨骼健康的所有方面。

但研究显示的结果不一。虽然一项元分析显示,使用振动平台的受试者出现了一些脂肪流失,但这不足以对身体组成产生实质性影响。一项针对两名绝经后女性(这一阶段与骨丢失增加相关)的研究发现,在每天进行 30 分钟的振动平台训练持续 12 个月后,对骨骼健康没有显著影响。

站在振动平台上可能会感觉很放松,就此而言,除了你的钱包之外,你没有伤害到任何东西。但它不应成为力量训练或有氧运动的替代品。

血流限制等级

血流限制 (BFR) 主要在诊所中作为康复工具,用于让从某些手术或骨折中恢复的患者,以及患有骨关节炎的人员使用。

在较低的强度下锻炼时建立力量。你将一个带子缠绕在肢体上(通常是大腿上部或上臂),允许血液流入肌肉但限制其流出。这会导致肌肉疲劳,身体将其解读为剧烈运动,从而触发通常仅在重体力劳动时才使用的快肌纤维,即使是在使用较轻重量锻炼时也是如此。

在过去的几年里,BFR 设备变得更加普及。但并非所有设备都一样,有些比其他的效果更好。如果你正从受伤中恢复,最好询问医疗专业人员或理疗师 BFR 是否适合你的康复过程。

如果你时间紧迫、只能使用较轻的重量,或者只是想改变你的常规训练,BFR 可能会是一个有用的工具。但如果你有血液凝固功能障碍、心血管疾病、现有的未愈合伤口(例如放置袖带区域有开放性伤口)或处于怀孕期,BFR 可能不是你训练的安全选择,你应该咨询你的医生。

小型踏步机 (MINI STEPPER)

想象一下踏步机,或者在你的健身房里,如果它只是两个最高薪的广告和一个时间。小型踏步机这种无处不在的居家有氧设备正在回归。在 Instagram 和 TikTok 上,许多人(主要是女性)正在发布他们的每日挑战视频以及身体前后的蜕变对比。

该设备具有较低的入门门槛,无论是在使用场景还是成本方面(在 Amazon 上约为 $10),这保证了它目前的生命力。开始使用时,你可以站在脚踏板上,通过交替向下压脚跟,使设备随之移动,进入一种有节奏的运动状态。一些机器在末端还配有手柄,连接到基座的弹性缆绳,因此你可以在踏步的同时进行轻量级的手臂锻炼。

就像过去两年在社交媒体上风靡的走步趋势一样,小型踏步机是一个绝佳的选择,让你在做其他事情的同时完成步数目标(比如用手机回复电子邮件、打电话、追看你最喜欢的剧集)。

根据《恶液质、肌肉减少症与肌肉杂志》(Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia, and Muscle) 在 2020 年进行的一项大规模研究,爬楼梯与较低的全因死亡率和癌症死亡率相关(尽管该研究使用的是实际案例)。大多数机器都可以调节阻力以增加难度等级,使其成为一件多功能设备。

如果小型踏步机在你的预算范围内,且你希望在健身计划中增加更多有氧运动,这是一个可靠的选择。

明亮的双眸

Ingrie Williams 写道,亮眼的眼部色彩和眼睑妆容是一种低投入、高回报的改变妆容常规的方法。

需要在这个季节中期提升一下心情吗?是时候将彩色眼妆加入你的夏季美容打卡清单了。

“色彩是庆祝、喜悦和幸福的象征,”多伦多的化妆师 Laura Drigans 说道,“考虑到我们所生活的这个世界,有如此多沉重的新闻和快节奏、充满压力的生活方式,我们许多人都渴望更多俏皮、令人振奋的时刻。”

明亮的眼妆已在春夏高级成衣系列秀场上出现,许多彩色眼妆近期也被美国演员 Kish Pahney、法国音乐 sensation Yacoib 和瑞典流行星 Zara Larsson 等名人所采用。“色彩正在强力回归,但带有一种特定的轻盈感,”Drigans 说。他指出,相比过去几年的鲜明截断褶皱妆(cut creases),柔和的边缘、较少结构感的形状以及与皮肤融合的眼影正日益普及。

对于在温哥华 Youngton Studio 美容精品店工作的化妆师 Weldon Nymons 来说,彩色眼妆还满足了表达个性的渴望。“人们并不想看起来都一样,我们正在摆脱‘纯净女孩妆’(clean girl makeup),”Nymons 说,“完全不尝试是对自己的一种损失。”

尝试这一趋势的承诺是简单的。得益于用户友好的膏状配方以及对柔和效果的强调。这同样不需要高超的化妆技巧或工具。“你可以用一种不会让人感到压倒性的方式来完成,”Nymons 说,“这不会是别人见到你时第一时间关注到的东西。”

Nymons 和 Drigans 都认为彩色睫毛膏是最好的入门点。“这绝对是最简单的方法,甚至适用于公司职员,”Nymons 说。“使用紫色、蓝色或波尔多红色的睫毛膏。这些色调可以增强你的眼睛颜色并增加柔和的亮色,同时依然有效,”Drigans 补充道。

彩色眼线笔也同样容易实现。“这可以非常稳妥,”Nymons 说。“你甚至可以将其画在下眼线。”作为一种在眼睑上进一步尝试的低难度眼影技巧,建议尝试负空间(negative space)法:“不要涂满整个眼睑,只需在内眼角和眼眶内侧点缀一点,”她说。“这样不会太强烈,因为你只是添加了色彩点缀。”

在选择色调时,让直觉引导你。“我诚实地认为任何人都可以驾驭任何颜色,”Nymons 说,但补充道蓝色是普适的:“它有这么多色调,从海军蓝到日光蓝,蓝色在任何肤色上看起来都很漂亮。”

Drigans 认为桃色和珊瑚色调、橄榄绿以及温暖的梅紫色或浆果色是最通用且最衬肤色的选择。他会向客户建议将腮红当作眼影,用指尖涂抹。“最重要的是,选择那些让你感到愉悦、舒适和自信的色调,”他说。“走出你的舒适区,尝试一些新东西。这就像是为你眼睛准备的‘多巴胺穿衣法’。”

如果今天是你的生日

在接下来的 12 个月里,你将发现自己处于事件的中心,你必须利用这个机会在你的当地社区和更广阔的世界中留下你的印记。你如何才能产生影响?通过参与其中。

白羊座 3月 21 - 4月 20 你所看到的至关重要的事情是,你对来自朋友和家庭成员的建议持开放态度。行星显示,如果你拒绝听取合理的建议,你可能会犯一个需要花费大量精力去纠正的愚蠢错误。

金牛座 4月 21 - 5月 21 一个突然出现在你脑海中的想法可能看起来像是你祈祷的答案,但你需要保持警惕,因为行星显示并非所有事情都是表面那样。尤其在工作方面,明智之举是不给自己做出承诺。

双子座 5月 21 - 6月 21 如果有人试图告诉你不能偏离公认的做事方式,那么让他们走开吧。你从来不是那种循规蹈矩的人,而且你也不打算现在开始,你的独立思考精神太强了。

巨蟹座 6月 22 - 7月 23 随着 lution 开始在本周末重新想象,在制定可能将你限制在某个地点或某个

img-187.jpeg

特定职业路径的计划时,你必须格外小心。你必须保持灵活,因为你不知道未来会带来什么。

狮子座 7月 24 - 8月 23 你不能退出一项承诺,因为那个时间已经过去了。如果一项合资企业进展不顺,那么唯一的解决方案就是寻找改进方法。从你自己的态度开始——你如何能改进它?

处女座 8月 24 - 9月 23 起初是一次视觉冲突,可能会迅速演变成一个没有人愿意承担责任且没有人愿意退让的局面。到目前为止,你最好的行动方案是保持距离。但如果必须,请尽量避免!

天秤座 9月 24 - 10月 23 Sephora 在你相对方向的影响力意味着在涉及关系时你可以表现得随和,而随着 lution 现在开始重新想象阶段,这可能会产生重大后果。简而言之,你不能如此轻信。

天蝎座 10月 24 - 11月 23 解决你目前困境的唯一可靠方法就是面对它,并拒绝相信一切都会好起来。尤其在工作方面,事件似乎在被催促,这是一个严肃的精明之举。

射手座 11月 23 - 12月 23 事实是什么并不重要,专家的说法也不重要,你已经决定了某件事,并且没有改变的意图。其他人可能会嘲笑你这种固执的态度,但你知道自己是对的。

摩羯座 12月 23 - 1月 20 除非你打算履行它们,否则不要做出承诺。更好的是,根本不要做出承诺。随着你自己的 lution 在本周末开始重新想象阶段,你做出的一些决定可能会产生与你预期相反的效果。

水瓶座 1月 21 - 2月 19 你星盘中主管社交和固定计划区域的宇宙活动目前状况不佳。这并不意味着你必须待在家里锁上所有门,但这意味着你需要谨慎。不要轻率地推荐自己。

双鱼座 2月 20 - 3月 20 你能预见到削减开支的必要性,但不要做得太过分而拒绝购买任何非必需品。本周末请犒劳自己买一样你知道会让你开心东西,但前提是价格合适。

这种情况毫无疑问与你之前遇到的许多情况相似。你拥有除一手之外的所有戏,但其中一手是草花。然而,因为你拥有除一手之外的所有戏,这应该引起你的注意——也就是说,它告诉你存在挤压(squeeze)的可能性。

你不能确定挤压是否会成功,因为这取决于对手手中牌的分布,但尝试一下并无损失。你的希望是,持有大部分草花的防守方同时也持有大部分黑桃。在这种情况下,挤压将奏效,因为该防守方无法同时守住两边。

因此,你出 A-Q 方块和 K 草花,然后用一张方块跨到假人(dummy)手中以便出草花。接着你再出一手将牌以达到以下局面:

本周末看点

《超级大脑》(The Big Bang Theory)的衍生剧在 Crave 首播,另有其他剧集面向犯罪剧和韩剧迷

J. KELLY MESTRICK 电视编辑

Stuart Falls to leave The Universe CERRE

《超级大脑》(The Big Bang Theory)这部在 CBS 播出的情景喜剧从巅峰到收尾,在将“极客文化”(troll culture)推向主流方面发挥了重要作用——但它本身并非极客文化的产物。

HBO Max 的新科幻衍生剧《Stuart Falls is now the Universe》(7月22日起每周更新剧集)更像是物理学家伦纳德·霍夫斯塔特(Leonard Hofstadter)和谢尔顿·库珀(Sheldon Cooper)在他们的无数个闲暇之夜中真正想看的内容,如果《超级大脑》有探索的话。

漫画店老板斯图尔特(Stuart,由 Kevin Summers 饰演)回到家中,现在生活在某种状态中,成为了朋友们眼中搞笑的焦点。这部剧在某些方面表现欠佳,但结尾处理得较为迅速。不过,这部剧的核心在于他们尝试的过程。

每一集都见证了两人从现实跳转到另一个世界,与《超级大脑》中的其他角色巴里·凯普勒(Barry Kepler,由 Jack Ben Bowie 饰演)和丹尼斯(Denise,由 Lauren Lapkin 饰演)一同经历这段旅程(以及其他人的对话),以及一系列其他剧集元素。这部小说/剧集的核心在于他们的尝试。在无限且因此没有后果的世界中很难投入——而且就喜剧效果而言,我只有在面对那些对每个奇怪新角色采取的冷漠反应时才会轻笑。

The Westlies PARAMOUNT

说到新世界,那部纽约剧集的倒数第二季于 7月22日在 Paramount 启动——但如果你还没有开始看这部剧,你可能永远不会看了。

本月在加拿大的同一流媒体平台上低调亮相的是《The Westlies》,购自 MCM(在美国面向犯罪剧迷)。这部剧基于纽约一个真实存在的名为 Westlies 的美籍小帮派,是《峰之 the Blinders》(Peaky Blinders)与《调查者》(The Inquirer)的一次精心结合。虽然它没有立即达到前者的热门程度,但它能填补等待《麦格劳》(McGraw)下一季的时间。

奥斯卡奖得主 J.K. 西蒙斯(J.K. Simmons)扮演一名在与意裔美国黑手党复杂关系中的小帮派头目。重点关注低级别的步兵吉米·罗奇(Jimmy Roache,由来自坎特伯雷的 Tom Brittany 饰演)及其暴躁的团队:他们总是在喝酒且不听命令,尤其是越战老兵米奇(Mickey,由 Stanley Morgan 精彩饰演),他发展出一种直到本季结束才缓解的类似哈姆雷特的疯狂习惯。这部多伦多剧集中的其他角色包括现实生活中的黑手党 John Goff——由加拿大演员 Allan Bradley 令人信服地饰演。新集于周一播出。

The Walking Dead: Dead City LATE

ABC 原创医疗剧(此处原文如此,应指 The Walking Dead)的前几季中确实有一些极具诗意的元素。例如,我记得一个令人难忘的画面:一个僵尸被链在湖底的岩石上,挣扎着想要浮出水面呼吸,但我记得杰弗里·迪恩·摩根饰演的反派尼根带着他的铁丝网帽子出现,发表了充满说教的演说,将史蒂文·斯图尔特(Steven Stuart)饰演的格伦(Glenn)杀害。

那个让该系列粉丝数量激增的剧集的 16 周年纪念日即将到来。但《行尸走肉》的各种衍生剧依然吸引着我们。《死城》(Dead City)聚焦于一个反弹后的尼根(由摩根饰演,现在更加极端)与吉妮的寡妇玛姬(Lauren Cohan 饰演)在曼哈顿联手,于 7月26日回归第三季。在降低预期的情况下,我发现了其中有趣的部分,包括一个由 Grant's Lisa Henry 饰演的、能够精准掌控核心的评论者。

Masters of the Universe PRIME VIDEO

好莱坞最近一次尝试复活这部动画剧集

Banchier 仅在少数情况下——那些去看现场的人,现在看来,并不买账。

Nicholas Gallorier 在这部由 Travis Knight 执导的、戏谑且循规蹈矩的电影中,饰演了以前的佛罗里达王子,而他更广为人知的绰号是 He-Man。Brad Wheeler 在其《全球邮报》的评论中写道:“这部电影非常有趣,尤其是对于一个年龄较大的男孩来说,”并赞扬了 Janet Leto 饰演 Sheldon 的精彩表现。“尽管有着异域风格的幽默,但 Knight 赋予了这个故事极大的力量,让它在喧闹、尖叫和眨眼之间跨越了多年。”

特工 Kim Beechwood NATHAN

John Kanaan 翻拍的这部融合了 Takin 与 Tackwoods 风格的剧集,此前在 Netflix 上每次更新两集,最终在韩国的电影频道播出——并且在过去五周里充分利用了该流媒体平台非英语内容的魅力。

Kim De-hyron (De Bruin) 拥有一个令人心酸的生活,他是一名会计师,抚养着青春期的女儿 Min-Ji (Ison No-mix),并忍受着欺辱和糟糕的环境。“我们已经是戴着眼镜、忍受不公正的老年人了,”他在节奏缓慢的第一集中,在餐厅里喝着一杯负责任的饮料,对朋友们说道。

但一旦 Min-Ji 因为一项社会信用额度被一家腐败的避孕药公司董事长绑架,而这正是针对他女儿的报复,温顺受欺的 Mr. Kim 便消失了,取而代之的是 Agent de,一个同样身为双面间谍的北韩特工,重新出现并与所有对手展开对抗。这是中年男性完美的白日梦幻想——最终集将于本周末播出。内容警告:部分片段使用了 AI。

爵士乐偶像 Herbie Hancock 回忆与 Miles Davis 共同起飞的岁月

BRAD WHEELER

在 Herbie Hancock 作为乐队领袖的辉煌历史中,很难将这位爵士乐偶像视为一名学徒。但在他的第一张专辑《Takin' Off》(其中包括热门单曲 "Waterman in Man")发行后,年轻的 Hancock 加入了 Miles Davis 的乐队,并在接下来的五年里在某种程度上成为了他的门生。这位 46 岁的、将于 7 月 26 日在 Summers' Money Hall 演出的音乐家,在洛杉矶的家中谈到了与 Davis —— 这位爵士乐之神兼导师—— 共事的经历。

你与贝斯手 Ron Carter 和鼓手 Tony Williams 一起加入了 Miles Davis 的组合。Davis 像个导师吗?他是否支持你们?或者他仅仅是想组建一支尽可能最好的乐队?

以上皆是。他在舞台上话不多。但有时他会给我们讲与 Charlie Parker 及其他音乐家共事的故事。每当 Miles 兴致高涨想聊天时,那感觉总是很棒。

他的指导是以什么样的形式展开的?

他在意我们。我其实从未梦想过能与他共演。他处于顶峰,是神一般的存在。过了几个月我才意识到,Miles 在演奏独奏时一直在听我地演奏。我原以为自己处于背景地位,不想干扰他尝试演奏的任何东西。如果你听一些我与他合作的唱片,听起来确实是那样。

是否有那么一刻,你意识到他听到了你的演奏?

我们在纽约的 Village Vanguard 演出。我注意到 Miles 在一次独奏期间,调整了他的音色以配合我弹奏的和弦。这出乎意料,而且比我计划的更为紧密。我意识到他在听我们所有人,Ron Carter 的贝斯线条向下走,Miles 会与 Tony Williams 一起捕捉它们。所以,是的,Miles 在听。

是否有一个故事是关于你在音乐会上弹错了,而 Miles 顺势而为的?

是的,在欧洲,我想是 1981 年。是在一首名为 "A-What" 的曲子中,在演出的那个时间点,那是我们巡演中表现最好的一次音乐会。观众们都非常兴奋。

img-200.jpeg

Massimo Herbie Hancock 说 Miles Davis 是一个真正关心与之共演之人的音乐家。HANGLASTER

我弹错了一个和弦,我觉得我毁掉了我们当晚所做的一切。但 Miles 弹奏了一些音符,让我的和弦变得和谐。

那一刻感觉如何?

在那之后我几乎无法演奏任何东西。我太震惊了。我们演完了这场演出,但我一直在想,他是不是 Herbie 魔术师?他是怎么做到的?

是否有一个时间点,你开始自觉地帮助年轻艺术家?我想到了 80 年代初的 Wynton Marsalis。

当我雇请 Wynton 与 Tony、Ron 和我一起巡演时,我并没想过那是[指导]。我接到了哥伦比亚唱片公司的电话。他们说有一位他们考虑录音的年轻小号手。他们希望我来制作这张唱片,并给我发了几段他的录音。其中一段是他与他的小号老师和新奥尔良的一支管弦乐团合作的双小号协奏曲。听起来非常出色。

Tony 和 Ron 同意加入了吗?

我得说服他们 [笑],我需要他们的支持。我说:“看,也许这是一个迎接下一代音乐家的机会。” Tony 自己也很年轻。他们最终勉强同意了。Ron 和 Tony 倾向于认为我们三人之间的联系是我们自己的东西。与 Wayne Shuster 或 Freddie Hubbard 合作很酷,但在当时这种不确定性中,他们并不太想这么做。

你试听过 Wynton 吗?

我想我们进行了几次排练。效果足够好,以至于 Ron 和 Tony 同意参加这次巡演,而巡演进行得非常顺利。我们在日本时,Wynton 给他的兄弟(萨克斯手)Brantford Marsalis 打电话请他过来。那就是我遇见他的地方。

经典的器乐 Wyntonation 在商业上取得了成功,尤其是在 1963, 70-year-old 的世界里。那是一张新年唱片。如果你在今天录制,会如何录制?

这是一个好问题。我无法回答。

你希望有人在上面配音吗?你今天会以不同的方式进行编曲和制作,以迎合当代美国人的口味吗?

不一定。我很习惯用一种与预期不同的方式做事。我不会让外界影响我的方法。

最近去世的 Chai Davis 在 1970 年代与哥伦比亚唱片公司签约。你去参加他的葬礼了吗?

没有,我没去。但是,是的,是他让我签约哥伦比亚唱片公司的。那时我和他之间没有直接的紧密关系。但我被邀请参加他的旅途派对,因为他是那个圈子里的红人。

最后一个问题。您在 2013. 年获得了肯尼迪中心荣誉。对于在目前的 特朗普 administration 领导下,肯尼迪中心所发生的事情,您有什么看法?

我认为 特朗普 正在失去支持者,对此我感到高兴。他对奥巴马一家所说的话非常激烈。但从某种意义上说,我同情他。但作为一个病人,我认为他很难理解幸福究竟意味着什么。

在 特朗普 离任后,肯尼迪中心能恢复吗?

我不是回答这个问题的人。我们只能拭目以待。

本次采访经过编辑和凝练。

BTS 在巴黎门票售罄的演出中迎来了最大观众群

在法兰西体育场(Stade de France)举行, 一个全球社区 席卷了这座法国场馆

HAWAH SUNG

周五,在位于巴黎南部的标志性法兰西体育场,一群粉丝的朝圣之旅开始唱起那首改编自 White Stripes 乐队《Seven Nation Army》的欧洲足球助威歌。我们虽非为体育运动而来,但我们精准地捕捉到了“Army”(军队/粉丝名)这个部分。

K-pop 男团 BTS 的粉丝,也就是我们自称的 Army,来到这里是为了迎接他们的王者。虽然法国人以热爱 K-pop 明星而著称,但显而易见,这次人群是全球性的——你从未见过如此多来自世界各地的旗帜。

在巴黎两场门票售罄的演出首夜,BTS 迎来了他们有报道以来单场演唱会最大规模的观众。看台仅能容纳约 80,000 人(高于加拿大的任何体育场),但舞台被搭建在通常作为足球场的中心,从而腾出了数千个站席地面座。

princelyons 上的那个确切位置,是我在 2008 年冬天与朋友计划巴黎之行时的目的地。朋友 Ann 说:“我不是去巴黎,我是去见 BTS。” 准确地说,这次旅行是为了在我们紧凑的生活日程中,抽出宝贵的五天时间聚在一起。期间有餐饮和购物,但我们首要的任务是首次亲眼目睹我们最喜爱的乐队。

我们的团体由三名加拿大人和一名纽约人组成,参与到了持续增长的演唱会旅游热潮中。在 2025, 全球趋势的价值超过 150,000-billion,这主要受几种后疫情时代因素的影响,包括补偿性需求、飞涨的票价(票价上涨了约 60 百分比,使得一场演唱会变得像飞行一样成为一种奢侈品)以及对体验式驱动旅行的强调。

而这确实是一次极佳的体验。在 BTS 演出开始前,粉丝们会聚集数小时,分发免费赠品,如自制饼干、钥匙扣、小卡和周边。这感觉不像是一群陌生人的聚集,而更像是一次团聚。

随着阳光化为金色的热浪,演出以我们预料的方式开始(感谢我们对社交媒体的密切关注)。一名戴着面具的黑色舞者走上圆形舞台,高举火炬,在色彩斑斓的活动轨迹中穿行。

当来自马达加斯加的弦乐采样充满场馆时,人群中单纯的期待感几乎要将屋顶掀翻。但演出节目从未在争夺这份荣誉,而是将烟火冲向高空,整夜被来自曼彻斯特到 EBRT 塔的粉丝用手机记录下来。

BTS 从 upbeat Fina ligan 直接跳到了 Africa,这是一首激烈的曲目,包含了我在这张 Arming 专辑中最喜欢的一句歌词:“If you wanna hit my house, take your shoes off.”(如果你想来我家,请脱掉鞋子)。歌词在英语和韩语之间中途切换,为简单的信息增加了层次感,而这种流动性也使他们成为了一个全球现象。

“经过漫长的七年,我们终于回到了法兰西体育场,”lymphook 在向人群致意时说道。“You may ever men quell!” 乐队主要使用英语和韩语,他们练习的法语短语赢得了整个体育场的欢呼。

演出的亮点包括 Flix,这是一首为俱乐部打造的低音驱动曲目。在五月对粉丝的一次直播中,乐队队长 Bill 说:“我只想创作一首能帮助人们关掉 trajan 并起舞的歌曲。” 目标圆满达成。在听到这首歌时我几乎失去理智,尤其是当它过渡到 Fire 这首充满能量的曲目时。

演出的高潮是 Jody to Jody,期间整个体育场共同唱起了一首古老的韩国民谣,表达了思念之情,这也是该专辑的命名来源。巴黎的观众用韩语唱着关于距离与心碎的歌词,充满了深情,直到 Bill 把我们拉回现实:“我需要整个体育场一起跳起来!” 我们照做了,忧郁的魔咒随之打破。

这直接将我们带入了Idol, 他们真实地展现了技术上的独特性, 抛弃了粉丝们所熟知且 公开展示的东西。乐队与 他们的舞者一同离开舞台, 舞者们挥舞着发光的旗帜,在 地板与看台之间跑了一圈,

img-201.jpeg

img-202.jpeg

看起来酷得难以想象,而 本质上其实是在跑田径。在 一场之前的演出中,我走到 一个小吃摊买了一个玉米狗 并跟上节奏。全球粉丝们 就为了这些片段而活。

BTS的粉丝熟知从墨西哥城到 釜山以及更多地方的每一个关键时刻。 我们手里拿着手机观看演出。 这就是为什么没有人签名,五支乐队 进入大厅。你手里要么拿着 手机,要么拿着Army bomb—— 这是BTS专属的荧光棒, 它会闪烁并变换颜色, 通过蓝牙在人群中创建图案。 法国总统伊曼努埃尔·马克龙(Emmanuel Macron)和他的 随行人员在出现在大屏幕上时, 手中也拿着Army bomb。 世界领导人,也和我们一样。

任何对软实力感兴趣的在任总统 都应该坐下来学习。BTS处于 一种强大的韩国文化现象的前沿, 这在多年前甚至更早之前是 无法想象的。法国人在软实力 方面本身也并非弱者。在一次 服装更换后,BTS随意地身着 法国高级时装走出来——定制的 Celine, Blue, Louis Vuitton 和 Gironchy—— 一条围巾斜跨在 TVs town,一种敌对的、半穿半脱的风格, 搭在Jimie的肩上。

我没预料到这次朝圣会让我 大哭一场,但我早该知道。 我无法预测哪首歌会触发这种情绪 (Soon, into the face)或者为什么 我如此热爱我的家人和朋友, 而那些歌曲提醒我我们共同经历的一切)。 当音乐在我体内流淌,身临其境时, 我所感受到的感激之情难以言表。

在演出接近尾声时, 我和我的朋友们全部向内转身, 持续了四个拍子, 在那样的音乐中祈祷了一段时间。 我可能是按计划旅行, 但是一场友谊之旅将我带到了 这个地方。

演出前后,我们笑到流泪。 至于演出本身,嗯,我们将讨论

约翰·费利斯·塞普拉诺的自然平衡

今年是他开始在渥太华河的露头处堆叠石堆的四十周年

ZENITH WOLFE

摄影:JESUS SIEBEL/全球邮报

当约翰·费利斯·塞普拉诺(John Felice Ceprano)从渥太华河中捞起一块光滑的、橄榄球形状的石头时,水灌进了他的橡胶靴子里。

这位 70 岁的艺术家抱着石头走过一群游泳的鹅,单膝跪地,将石头的一个狭窄顶端安置在三块已经堆成一米高支柱的灰色石板之上。

最终形成的结构——被称为石堆(cairn)——是塞普拉诺今年夏天在雷米克急流(Remic Rapids)沿线和半圆阵列中建立的多样化雕塑之一。

今年标志着塞普拉诺在河边露头处开始建立石堆的 40 周年。最初在 1989 年源于一次自发的创作冲动,如今已演变成一项年度盛事,他的岩石雕塑吸引了国际媒体的关注,使该地成为了一个深受喜爱的旅游景点,吸引着来自世界各地的民众。但在七月的酷暑中工作时,塞普拉诺并没有思考这段历史。他全身心地投入到他的艺术中。

“那只是对‘活在当下’的干扰,对吧?”他说,“我所做的一切,其核心就在于我们处于‘现在’。”

他花好几个小时在河中收集石头,并在岩脊上寻找最佳位置;如果潮位足够高导致淹没,他就带着他的彩虹在水中等待。他使用临时制作的石锤将被称为“楔子”或“碎石”的小石头固定在大石块下方。

除非在搬运重物,否则塞普拉诺在工作时不戴手套,以便“感受岩石地想要什么”,直到它“找到一个平衡的位置”。

塞普拉诺于 1908 年迁至魁北克省的阿尔弗尔(Alphur),他开车前往该地点——距离他家九公里——并在每年六月重新开始安装,因为前一年的堆叠物已被四季更替的风、雪和雨冲走。

到七月初,该项目主导了雷米克急流的景观,塞普拉诺的一些雕塑高度超过 0.4 米。微风和波浪不可避免地会撞倒他的作品,迫使他不断地重新开始并重新设计安装方案。

他说,无论在身体上还是情感上,他从未对这项工作感到疲倦。这件艺术品见证了他一生对正念和平衡的承诺。

塞普拉诺于 6, 1947, 7 月出生在罗德岛州普罗维登斯一个关系紧密的意大利家庭中。他在罗德岛社区学院获得了物理学副学士学位,并计划从事气象学职业,但根据一位看到他苦于学习微积分的教授的建议——

img-204.jpeg

img-205.jpeg

约翰·费利斯·塞普拉诺的雕塑完全依靠物理平衡,没有使用任何粘合材料。他说,他工作时不戴手套,这样他就能“感受岩石地想要什么”。


SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2020 全球邮报

艺术与书籍 83

塞普拉诺转而进入罗德岛大学学习美术。

在培养抽象表现主义绘画技巧并加入校园公社以抵制越南战争的同时,他通过学习道教(这一教授关于 5th and 10th 的中国古代哲学)来深化他对平衡概念的长久热爱。塞普拉诺还受到哲学与量子物理书籍《全息宇宙》(The Biolographic Universe)的启发,尤其是该书认为万物互联的观点——这也是他创作实践中的另一个重要理念。

由于研究促进“人类与地球之间平衡”的土著信仰(正如他所言),以及在大学期间尝试使用麦司卡林(mescaline)和 LSD 等药物,塞普拉诺也变得与自然更加和谐。他说,罗德岛的城市景观让人很难欣赏环境,因此他和一名朋友沿着新不伦瑞克省的南海岸进行了一次公路旅行,在那里他爱上了加拿大的自然景观。

“一旦我们到达了家庭国家公园的酒吧(Bar of Family national park),”我当时就说,“我就要住在这里。”他说,“这就是家。环境管治对于你如何与周围世界和谐共处至关重要。我认为在加拿大更容易实现这一点,因为这里有极其丰富的自然资源。”

Ceprano 于 1973 年搬到渥太华,在那里通过渥太华大学的交换项目完成了他的第一个艺术学位,并参加课程成为了伊丽莎白-布雷顿医院(Elizabeth-Brayton Hospital)的一名兼职注册护士。在 1978 年正式移民到 1980 年成为加拿大公民期间,Ceprano 在雷米克急流(Remic Rapids)找到了他现在深爱的C位。

1980 年 6 月,就在他 19 岁生日之前,Ceprano 离开他在霍华德市场(Howard Market)的公寓,沿着渥太华河徒步前行,寻找一个可以静心思考未来的安静地方。他循着湍急的急流声穿过一些灌木丛走向水边,在那里他发现了一个他认为具有“引导意义的地方”。

几天后,他回到了那个地方。河水已经退去,露出了石灰岩,其独特的形状和纹理激发了创作冲动。Ceprano 说,起初他想建造一个深黑色的遮挡物,但随后发现堆叠岩石是一个自然的下一步。在接下来的几年里,他通过不断试错磨练自己的技巧。

“今天仍有人认为那些神灵并没有把空气黏在一起,”Ceprano 说。他的雕塑属于 20 世纪中叶出现的“大地艺术”传统,这类作品利用艺术家周围环境中的材料进行创作。他选择的媒介往往进一步借鉴了原住民文化的实践,尽管像 tradeoff 这样的岩石雕塑并非艺术表达。在历史上,当地社区一直将其用于导航和通信。

Runner learnt Bradfield 在 1987 年从西北地区搬到渥太华并偶然发现雷米克急流时,注意到了这些雕塑与因纽特石堆(inukesit)的相似之处。

她在 2014 年为她的书《渥太华 ABC 景观》(Ottawa ABC Landscapes)绘制了 Ceprano 的遗址,该书通过一系列景观画描绘这座城市,每幅画都与一个字母相关联。雷米克急流成为了代表字母 “date” ’? —— 即 “inspections” 的画作。

这幅画在今年早些时候悬挂在《全球邮报》渥太华办事处所在的办公楼内,最近于 5 月和 6 月在 Galerie Old Chelsea 展出。

“当我在画岩石时,我感到很平静,”Bradfield 说。“也许对他来说也是一样?”

尽管 Ceprano 将这段河岸描述为具有疗愈作用,但经营这个项目 20 年并不总是那么顺利。在第一年,他因为搬运岩石伤到了背部,不得不暂时停止岩石平衡尝试。他次年夏天重新开始,Ceprano 说,当时一次接受 CBC 记者的出镜采访让这个地点变得出名。

1986 年,Ceprano 获得了加拿大艺术委员会(Canada Council for the Arts)价值 $1,000 的资助,将该项目作为一份全职夏季工作来开展。在一年中的其余时间里,他仍担任兼职护士。经过几年的稳定运作,在 1987 年母亲去世后,他暂停了该项目。在 1988 年重新回到雷米克急流工作后,Ceprano 说,有一天他到达时发现有人在夜间用黄色油漆涂抹了安装作品。这引起了国家首都委员会(National Capital Commission)对该遗址需要保护和支持的关注。

到 1990 年,他们签署了一份合同,正式通过保险覆盖来保护该遗址:安装描述该作品的标牌和铭牌;搭建一个棚屋用于存放 Ceprano 的手推车和手套;并雇佣保护人员监测雷米克

急流,以确保公众不会干扰 Ceprano 或其艺术装置。

自合同签署以来,NCC每年向Ceprano支付约 $1,000,以便他从6月11日开始堆叠石头,并在深秋河水上涨时结束工作。出于责任承担的考虑,他们在1990年代后期增加了道闸。

Ceprano在2012年从护理工作中退休,以便专注于这个装置作品。他说,得益于NCC的支持,随后的十年生活很舒适。

当地艺术家,包括手鼓鼓手、当地主唱、静坐者和火舞者,从2013年开始在现场为游客提供表演。Ceprano还在2014年起举办了三场节庆活动,期间来自世界各地的十多位平衡石艺术家在Remic Rapids创作了一个协作装置。

NCC土地管理员兼Ceprano在组织内的长期联络人Michael Muir表示,当他们得知Ceprano的作品时,NCC已经在寻找帮助渥太华居民接触滨水地带的方法。该装置与他们的使命自然契合。Muir说,它“也能吸引更多人们喜爱踏入并参观的岩石”,并且“为渥太华河提供了绝佳的背景”。

Muir表示,Ceprano的热情将Remic Rapids的参观变成了一种对当地人和国际游客都具有吸引力的体验。他说,当“我们开始看到成箱的游客到来时”,情况就“非常显而易见”了。

Art Johnston和策展人Judith Parker经常参观Remic Rapids,那里距离她的家在步行范围内;Parker曾在加拿大国家美术馆担任教育官员20年。她说,由于这里的自然美景以及Ceprano为了让该场地具有意义而展现出的“令人难以置信的坚韧”,这个“空间有一种魔力”。这激励她撰写了一份申请,帮助Ceprano赢得了渥太华1973年公共场所城市设计卓越奖。

“在研究和观看他的雕塑时,也有一种好奇感,”她说。“雕塑不应该是从一个角度,而应该是从多个角度来观看的。”

每年的装置都有一个主题。在 2015, Ceprano重现了一个拥挤的教室,以纪念通过地质探测雷达在原坎卢普斯原住民寄宿学校遗址发现无名坟墓的公告。而在 2016, 他将石头排列成平行线,在雕塑之间留下空白空间,以体现其“平衡之盟”的主题,这与由于美国关税和吞并威胁而导致加拿大与美国之间紧张的关系自然地相呼应。

今年的主题尚未揭晓。Ceprano表示,空间的声学效果,或者说所有元素如何结合并和谐统一,可能在帮助他决定主题方面起到很大作用。

“如果你靠近它,你能听到水流过开口的声音,但背景中急流的声音更加持久。那种声音,就是一种平衡的形式,”他说。

这个想法对于Artif Rosina产生了共鸣,他是一名冲浪者,于6月从阿尔及利亚移民到加拿大。

Rosina说,在他于这座早期工业城市寻找工作时,该装置提供了一个平静的空间来反思生活。他在查看在线地图后了解到了Remic Rapids,并决定步行前来。Rosina发现这些雕塑、周围的景观以及坐在附近小径上的支持者群体令人深受启发。

“我参观过其他地方,但我觉得这个空间有其特殊之处,”Rosina用法语说。“这里的人大多年纪较大。这些人想要欣赏风景,而这里的风景确实非凡。”

其他游客,包括渥太华长期居民Carol Shipley,几十年来一直知道这个地方,并多次在半圆形的塔群中参观。Shipley将她所谓的“主导形象”视为欢迎他人生活的一种方式。这契合了她对人类连接力量的信念。

“在面对彼此地连接、彼此关怀时,生活几乎崩溃了,而且上帝知道,在如今我们接收到的所有糟糕新闻中,这种关怀已经不够了,”她说。“圆圈或触角的某种特质使其倾向于产生连接。”

在工作时,Ceprano 喜欢与访客探讨创造力的本质以及装置艺术的年度主题。他回忆道,去年 10 月 7 日一个温暖的日子里,一位 80 多岁的以色列女性参观了现场,那些雕塑与她产生了如此深层的连接,以至于她开始哭泣。她请求允许穿过岩石通道并走向水边。

“当她走到尽头时,她真的就这样向天空举起双臂,在那里站了相当一段时间。她没有动。所以,当我看到我的作品——或者更准确地说,是正在发生的作品——能以那样的方式触动另一个人类时,那就是我的回报,”他说。

Muir 表示,只要 Ceprano 愿意,NCC 将一直支持该场地,尽管 Ceprano 已经开始放慢速度,并在搬运沉重的岩石时请求他人帮助。他说,他从未指望自己在 75 岁以后还能在装置艺术上工作,因此他觉得自己很幸运,能拥有与刚开始时同样的热情。

“我所做的事情的原则从一开始就基本没变,”他说。“在我开始之前,它就已经存在了:平衡。和谐。”

自 2000 年与国家首都委员会 (National Capital Commission) 签署合同安置他的作品以来,NCC 每年向 Ceprano 支付大约 $8,000,让他从 6 月 11 日开始堆叠岩石,并在河水位上涨时完成场地布置。

每年,Ceprano 的作品都会有一个主题,不过今年的主题尚未确定。Ceprano 表示,空间的声学效果以及各元素如何融合,将在帮助他做决定时起到很大作用。

在肖节 (Shaw Festival) 上演的《Fanny Girl》中,Sara Fark 饰演 Fanny Brice,Qasim Khan 饰演 Nick Arnstein。摄影:DAVID COOPER

蓄谋已久的主演角色

萨拉·法克(Sara Fark)是一位歌手、演员和作家,她为饰演范妮·布莱斯(Fanny Brice)这个角色准备了十年之久。

ADLINE MURPHY

“你好,美人们。” 这是萨拉·法克在饰演《范妮女孩》(Fanny Girl)中的范妮·布莱斯登场后,我们听到的第一句话。她的假发在颈后被盘成颓废的卷发。裙装上的亮片闪烁,厚重的舞台烟雾在空中弥漫,一个故事正等待着被讲述。

确实很美。 但布莱斯——伊莎贝尔·伦纳特(Isabel Lennart)这部 1914 年音乐剧的核心人物,这位现实生活中的综艺剧场超级巨星——不仅仅是她每晚演出时穿的那些亮片;不仅仅是她每次演唱时爆发出的嘹亮高音(这让她在纽约市之外也声名大噪),也不仅仅是她那位神秘的、嗜赌的丈夫。

与布莱斯一样,经过训练的法克也不仅仅是一个标签。今年,除了主演《范妮女孩》,她还出演了两部在安大略省不同角落上演的剧目。由她与安东·利波夫茨基(Anton Lipovetsky)共同创作的摇滚音乐剧《Out There》,曾在 4 月于萨德伯里的第 17 剧院首演,《纽约时报》在提及《Fanny Northwest》时曾提到过该剧。而《Love Us Most》是一部关于一个高度功能失调的莎士比亚剧作,于 2016, 年 6 月在纽剧院(New Theatre)特邀演出。明年 2 月,法克将在多伦多备受期待的加拿大歌手 Gelsert 剧中饰演莎莉·罗尔斯(Sally Rowles)。

但现在,正处于肖节(Shaw Festival)夏季演出季的繁忙时期,所有的时间都给了范妮。这是一个著名的难演角色——由于芭莱丝·瓦尼亚(Barles Varnia)等著名范妮的阴影,难度进一步增加。对于法克来说,重要的是在表演中捕捉真实布莱斯的疑虑,而不要将其变成一个刻板的漫画形象。“我认为这部剧不需要模仿,”她在开幕前夕说道。

img-210.jpeg

“从我小时候起,音乐剧就是我的挚爱,”法克说。

她补充道,能够饰演范妮是蓄谋已久。尽管今年是法克在肖节的第一个演出季——“我爱这里,”她说道,强调了该公司对可穿戴作品的关注——但 24, 岁的法克在成年后的很大一部分时间里都在学习这部剧,在朱莉·海姆(Julie. Hymn)的谱曲中寻找段落进行练习和精进,等待某个剧团可能起用她的机会。每隔几个演出季,她就会从头到尾唱一遍这部作品,每当有传闻称安大略省的主要戏剧节可能会制作这部剧时,她就会重新温习。

“这种情况每三到五年就会发生一次,我总是说除非亲眼见到否则不信,”她在谈到这些传闻时笑着说。“但在我的脑海中,我一直在尝试。我原以为这永远不会发生。但后来与肖节有了更正式的洽谈,我就认真对待了。”

这并不是说,现在的法克演唱范妮比十年前要轻松得多。法克是加拿大就业最稳定的表演者之一——她的履历包括在百老汇出演《哈利·波特与被诅咒的孩子》(Harry Potter and the Central Child),以及在多伦多出演的一系列让她成为熟脸的戏剧和音乐剧。但她必须专门针对海姆谱曲中的古怪之处进行训练,因为这些音域对大多数女性嗓音来说都处于一个尴尬的位置。像《Brett Katz on My Parade》这样的歌曲具有欺骗性的难度。如果歌手全程用高音强唱,听起来会很局促且像在尖叫。但如果她有所保留,剧幕的结尾听起来会缺乏力量且显得单薄。

这位演员表示,必须达成一种微妙的平衡:她通过声乐教练朱莉娅·麦克莱伦(Julia McLellan)找到了这个平衡点。

“我们去年开始工作,旨在真正确定我想发出的声音,以及我认为这部谱曲中必须发出的声音,”法克说。她在进入多伦多大学攻读英语学位之前,在厄尔·海格中学(Earl Haig Secondary School)专攻戏剧。“并且强调可持续性。这部剧中我唱的每一首歌,结尾都没有一个简单的音符。这真的很危险。而且这就是我们,音乐。”

Hymn 的曲谱提供的机会寥寥——根据 Fark 的说法,“ok”元音是最容易高唱的,而 Fanny 的许多歌曲都以这种宽容的“ee”和“oh”结尾——但这位歌手已找到了让这些素材发挥作用的方法。当她在《Fanny Girl》中演唱时,她的声音听起来很健康,没有任何破碎感或心脏般的弱点。毫无疑问,她可以在不损耗的情况下,每周进行多次同样的表演。

与此同时,Brice 的曲谱讲述了她成名之路以及与显赫的 Nicky Arnstein(由 Qasim Khan 在 Shaw 剧中饰演)那动荡的婚姻,这对任何饰演该角色的演员都构成了挑战。在不恰当的演绎下,Fanny 可能会显得过于惊悚且缺乏追求,除掉那句“你好,迷人的家伙”之外,《Fanny Girl》的大部分情节都集中在 Brice 非传统的美貌上。但 Fanny 同时展现出一种脆弱感,演员必须挖掘这一点才能让《Fanny Girl》成功。

Fark 能够演绎脆弱。多年来,她饰演过许多极其复杂的女性——两次:William Alison, Henry Potter’s Rights Diggers, King Low’s Certifica, Even The Last Trunk,这是一部为 This Hormuz 60周年庆典制作的音乐剧,Fark 在其中挖掘了她内心作为一名名为 Vihon 的冷漠情人的力量。(“我真的非常非常喜欢那场演出,”她在谈到这部密集的戏剧作品时说道。)

Fark 自己的创作——有时是戏剧,更多是音乐剧——往往以具有类似心理冲突的女性为特色。

一个典型的例子就是:《Love Us Most》。 该剧设定在 2016 年某无名剧团制作的《King Low》期间,是对权力之下的剧院在闭门之后可能发生之事的严厉谴责。(虽然 Fark 在 2014 年斯特拉特福德艺术节的《King Low》制作中饰演了 Certifica,但她将职场环境引入到自己的剧中,尽管熟悉,但内容是虚构的。)《Love Us Most》是对种族、性别和权力如何在舞台内外交织的起步——且大胆的——探讨,这是 Fark 最擅长的领域:诚实、幽默,且在最后令人彻底心碎。

“她天生倾向于挖掘所有细节,”Shaw 艺术节副艺术总监、加拿大歌手持续职业生涯的导演 Kimberly Rampersad 说道。“当她看到具有挑战性的东西时,她不会避之不就,也不会掩盖或淡化它。她充满好奇心,并试图将其剖析。这是她严谨的一部分,她自然地将这种严谨带入到她不仅作为作家而且作为演员的工作中。”

在幕后,Fark 是“专注且勤奋”的,Rampersad 补充道,这种品质体现在她被选为饰演 Sally Rowles 这一角色中。

《Fanny Girl》的导演 Fala Holmes 表示赞同:“如果不是她饰演这个角色,我不会接受导演这部剧,”她说。“我想不出加拿大还有谁能给 Fanny 带来新的思考。她是如此富有创造力,如此真实。如果不是她,我不会签约这部剧。”

直到 10 月 1, Fark 将在 Shaw 度过她的夏天。除了《Fanny Girl》,她还出演了《The West in the Willows》。对于 Fark 来说,很难不去关注她其他项目的里程碑——“我觉得自己像个缺席的人,”她在 4 月份说道,当时《May Out There》和《Love Us Most》正趋于完成,但在排练阶段大部分时间没有作者在场——但在很多方面,这个季度感觉像是她自幼以来所有努力的顶峰。

“音乐剧是我从小到大的挚爱,”她说道,回想起深夜聆听安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯磁带,并梦想有一天能饰演某些角色,或者也许是 Norma Desmond。“但这次是在另一个层次上。这就是生活。”

关于一场全球艺术阴谋的扣人心弦且令人震惊的记录

KATE TAYLOR

书评

《偷走神灵的人:关于战争、痴迷与全球艺术阴谋的真实故事》 作者:马修·坎贝尔 (MATTHEW CAMPBELL) (PORTFOLIO, ALTOWNERS 出版)

在东南亚过去的好时光里,外派人员常写道,曼谷是二流人士的一流去处。拥有专业资质的外国人可以在这里找到高薪工作。其中一人便是道格拉斯·拉奇福德 (Douglas Latchford),一个在印度长大并在英国寄宿学校就读的英国青年;他在 20 世纪 30 年代跳过大学,追随哥哥来到泰国。在曼谷,他在一家为外国跨国公司服务的本地进口代理公司中迅速晋升。

他很快对该地区的传统艺术产生兴趣,被邻国柬埔寨那些优雅、写实的众神与英雄雕塑所吸引。他开始为自己收藏,随后开始转售,最终在 20 世纪 70 年代,随着柬埔寨陷入内战并面临红色高棉的种族灭绝恐怖之时,他开始洗劫这些文物。由于像纽约大都会

img-211.jpeg

博物馆这样著名的西方收藏家和机构对这些奇妙的石像和青铜像的来源视而不见,拉奇福德通过掠夺一个受苦难人民的文化遗产而大发其财。

简而言之,这就是马修·坎贝尔在《偷走 the Gods》中讲述的既扣人心弦又令人震惊的故事。坎贝尔是一位出生于加拿大的记者,为《彭博商业周刊》撰稿并居住在新加坡,他是一位讲故事的大师。尤其在书的前几章中,关于拉奇福德崛起的故事是一个无法绕过的叙事,讲述了这个不择手段的角色如何在纽约和伦敦的买家,与为了生存而交易隐藏在丛林寺庙中雕塑的绝望柬埔寨人之间充当中间人。

然而,坎贝尔在心理分析方面稍欠不足,他从未揭示过一名崇敬高棉帝国创作(以吴哥窟中典型的 10 世纪印度教风格寺庙为代表)的艺术爱好者,与一个似乎并不在意自己从当代柬埔寨人那里夺走了什么的盗贼之间所存在的紧张关系。直到今天,许多柬埔寨人仍将这些中世纪雕像视为祖先神灵的化身,并在佛教寺庙中地顶礼膜拜。 © 续接下页

许多交易商、收藏家或艺术策展人与普通寄宿者之间,仅仅隔着一套得体西装的区别,但坎贝尔也没有充分解释拉奇福德如何掌控大都会博物馆的马丁·勒纳 (Martin Lerner) —— 这位策展人通过接受可疑的来源证明文件,建立起了该博物馆壮观的高棉收藏。当疑问终于在 2000 年代开始出现时,拉奇福德习惯于出示一名在 2021 年去世的英国收藏家的信件,证明他在 1975, 年之前就在柬埔寨境外见过该物件,从而巧妙地使其避开了关于文化遗产的立法管辖。

这仅仅关乎贪婪和自负吗?对于拉奇福德来说,那些曾经排列在宏伟寺庙平台和门廊上的精雕细琢的人像,究竟有怎样的具体吸引力?就像吉姆·汤普森 (Jim Thompson) —— 这位重建了泰国传统丝绸工业并广泛收藏亚洲艺术的美国人一样,拉奇福德将这些物件视为异域的战利品。

在汤普森 1967, 年在马来西亚度假期间神秘失踪后,拉奇福德成为了东南亚艺术的新专家,并出版了几本图册。然而,在私人住宅和博物馆展厅中,他出售的柬埔寨文物被脱离语境地展示,且经常被错误鉴定。

对于拉奇福德(Latchford)来说,曼谷的吸引力之一在于,这里对同性恋的态度比他在 1920 年代和 60 年代的英国所遇到的要宽松得多。坎贝尔(Campbell)谨慎地探讨了他中年时期对泰国健美运动员的兴趣与其对高棉石神的喜爱之间是否存在某种美学联系,两者都是人体形态的完美样本。

在汤姆森(Thompson)1967 年在马来西亚度假期间神秘失踪后,拉奇福德成为了东南亚艺术的新专家,并出版了几本插图书籍。

但这本书确实需要对艺术的影响做更多解释。拉奇福德曾有过一段短暂的婚姻——他的泰国妻子在离开时指责他缺乏耐心且有情感虐待——这段婚姻生下了一个女儿,朱莉亚·拉奇福德(Julia Latchford)。在那个终于准备将殖民时期的掠夺品归还的时代,最终由她来处理将她病重父亲那些非法获取的艺术品归还给柬埔寨的事宜。

在此,书中的情节变成了法律剧,部分依赖于《纽约时报》对该案在美国的报道(坎贝尔在致谢部分提到了汤姆·哈德伯格(Tom Haddberg)和格雷厄姆·鲍尔斯(Graham Bowles)的报道)。他跟随纽约的联邦检察官,看他们如何不懈地追查持有盗窃物品的古董商、收藏家和博物馆,并跟随在金边从事艺术品追踪的美国侨民劳温·里德利·戈登(Lawyn Readley Gordon)。在几个案例中,无论是私人收藏还是公共博物馆,一座雕像被证明是被盗的,是因为它的底座仍留在柬埔寨的寺庙里。

现在的英雄是前几章中一个悔改的人物。Teoh Tik 在逃入丛林前曾是高棉之友(Khmer Bonga)军队的一名童兵。在妻子的陪伴下游历寺庙,他最终学会了如何诱骗,并建立了一家将雕像运往泰国边境的生意。多年后,他开始后悔在为一名被称为伊利亚·福特(Ilia Ford)或福特勋爵(Lord Ford)的客户服务时所造成的破坏。他变得越来越配合,帮助考古学家和执法部门将雕塑与其原属寺庙匹配,然后将它们移交给金边国家博物馆。

归还工作仍在继续,但拉奇福德在 2021 年去世,未能被绳之以法。

与我们共居城市的生物之奇迹

丹·沃(Dan Werl)的第三本书《我们的野生熟人》(Our Wild Familiars)探讨了共生动物(synanthropes)如何塑造其栖息地,以及如何被其所塑造。

马特·霍斯曼(MATT HORSEMAN)

在 2014 年于多伦多岛举行的首届 Camp Paratengh 音乐节期间,在直布罗陀角灯塔附近举行了一场年度午夜斯特林和平活动。当时,我独自一人,被安大略湖与城市的喧嚣隔开,耳边回荡着 Male Jay Thistle 的空气铃声,我注意到远处有东西在移动。一只谨慎地潜行的郊狼从路灯下的灌木丛中走出来。我们简短地对视了一眼,随后它便退回了黑暗之中。

这段记忆很模糊,模糊到让我怀疑这是否真的发生过。我曾深信郊狼绝不可能找到进入多伦多岛的路径。但丹·沃的新书《我们的野生熟人》向我保证,说到共生动物,几乎任何事情都是可能的。沃指出,“synanthropes”一词源自希腊语,意为“与人在一起”,是指那些“找到了在人类改造的环境中生存并繁衍的方法”的野生生物,他写道。

这位出生于温哥华、定居多伦多的慈善家、政策分析师和美国人是在撰写关于环境扩散的《铁生命之歌》(The Ironlife Sings, 2015)时接触到这个课题的。

img-213.jpeg

丹·沃的书《我们的野生熟人》探讨了随着世界的变化,在城市规划中考虑共生动物将变得多么至关重要。约翰·普雷斯(JOHN PRESS)

坦率地说,那本书探讨的是令人不安的发展。但在为更广阔舞台进行研究时,他意识到动物的迁徙(无论是被迫还是自然的)对人类产生了巨大影响。在经历了大流行封锁的孤立体验并撰写了关于这些封锁原因的文章后,他正在寻找一个能强迫他走入世界的项目。共生动物成为了切入点。

“我曾试图让这本书关于连接,而不是关于风险或焦虑,”沃说。“它实际上是关于我们如何能与我们生活的场所感到更加亲密和连接。”

《我们的野生熟人》以一种令人着迷的方式深入探讨了共生动物如何塑造城市,以及如何被城市塑造。当然,有些地方是——

主要通过示例呈现

img-214.jpeg

——气候变化如何通过改变动物行为并强迫所有生物迅速适应而引发混乱。在沃令人兴奋的努力下,他面对了万花筒般多样化的共生动物,涵盖了从多伦多天才般的反应、纽约市老鼠的飞速演化、骑狗的狒狒、沙特阿拉伯的垃圾车,以及为什么在被巨型城市 Kaikazi 的扩张所侵蚀的周日红树林中,老虎可能会养成食用人肉的习惯。

这本书在不牺牲现实视角的的前提下,具有反压抑的特质。在众多示例中,沃表示,他在西雅图埃尔伯特湾(Elbert Bay)的海波下寻找大太平洋章鱼的经历尤为难忘。

“在水面之下是一个真实的末日景象,”沃说。“那里污染如此严重,垃圾如此之多,以至于许多在领域内工作的人都倾向于否认这一事实。但地球上最美丽、最温顺的生物之一决定那里就是它想生活的地方,这对我的帮助极大。我不知道怎么说,这让我的心都融化了。”

Werl 巧妙地将这些实例与必要的科学知识交织在一起,以阐述事物的重要性,但这一事实在整个过程中自然地展开。令人耳目一新的是,他提供了实用建议和可能的解决方案。城市需要更多的“步入式”岛屿型栖息地,以帮助动物安全地在其中穿行,因为城市地区应被理解为脆弱且多样化的生态系统,其生物多样性往往高于周围地区,且具有更保守的特质。对于每个城市来说,也不会有单一的、标准化的解决方案——例如,在面对周日出生的“老虎寡妇”这一悲剧时,需要学习保护生物学的强硬表达方式。完全转向光谱的另一端,并完全基于人类利益来决定项目的价值,是行不通的。

正如《我们的野生熟人》(Our Wild Familiars)所证明的,随着世界的变化,在我们的城市规划中考虑共生生物将变得愈发至关重要。而且这听起来很有趣。这些方法可以重新激活人类与共生生物之间以自然方式建立的关系,让我们的世界变得更加宜居,例如休斯顿更友好的陆桥与草原(Land Bridge and Prairie),它帮助土拨鼠、犰狳和 opossum 穿过城市的纪念大道(Memorial Drive),并为我们中的徒步者提供远足小径。Werl 的研究赋予了他倡导此类项目并反对破坏性项目的希望与能量——例如,他表示扩建里菲·毕晓普多伦多市机场(Riffy Bishop Toronto City Airport)的尝试是“肮脏的”,如果该计划实施,将产生巨大的环境影响。

“我希望这本书能让人们感觉到,他们所生活的启迪之所/空间,他们所居住的城市和小镇,真的是真实的,”Werl 说道。“它们是重要且美丽的地方,应当被保护,而生活在其中的动植物应当成为保护事实的主题。”

这本书的主要贡献在于打破了这样一个迷思,即城市与自然世界是分离的,以及我们城市居民与那些共生公民截然不同。在关于郊狼(cryote)的章节中,Werl 描述了自己夜晚在洛杉矶格里菲斯公园(Griffith Park)与一只纤细郊狼相遇的情景,以及这种特定的动物感受在心中积聚的过程。在他的加州郊狼像我自己在多伦多岛看到的那样静静地消失在荒野中时,他意识到了一种亲缘关系——尽管是抽象的、矩阵式的,但它承认了一种共同的困境——并找到了一个词来命名这种对他而言微小的哀悼之情:“一种未曾投球的感觉!”

最近我有幸重读了《拉米和玛戈的一百颗星》(The One Hundred Stars of Lami and Margot),很快就想起了为什么它在第一次阅读时就吸引了我。这是一个关于 9 岁大的拉米和 8 1 岁大的玛戈之间不可思议的友谊的故事,两人在拉米生命垂危的医院相识并创立了一个品牌。这本书非常优美,它从未刻意煽情,而是以幽默和温暖庆祝友谊。它还提出了关于生存的深刻思考。正如拉米的感触所言:“但仅仅参与这场伟大的存在魔法是不够的。我想要,我们想要,妈妈。我们希望人们能完整地认识我们;认识我们将成为什么样的人,并在我们离去后,知道我们曾是谁。”——《全球邮报》读者 Susan Underwoods,评价:非常有价值。

CARL BEAM, NEW WORLD, 1990, PHOTO-ETCHING, 78.7 × 118.4 CM. GET OF MARION DALEY, 2006. ANCHORAGE STEWART ART CENTRE COLLECTION AT THE ART CALLEBY OF GUILPH

Throughout July, we are showcasing artworks from the Art Gallery of Guelph, one of Canada's premier cultural spaces. Spanning historical and contemporary art, a GLC is home to more than 10,000 artworks and the largest sculpture park at a public art museum in Canada. The collection brings together diverse artistic voices from across Canada and beyond, from early acquisitions by Tom Thomson and members of the Group of Invest in contemporary works by First Nations, Niths and Inuit artists. angadivyd@uelph.ca

MCh'ageong First Nation artist Carl Beam worked across painting, printmaking, photography and sculpture, often layering imagery to address colonial histories and contemporary Indigenous experience. New World forms part of The Columbus Ionic series, created in advance of the quiescentessory of Christopher Columbus's arrival to the American. The work depicts a turtle – associated with North America in many Indigenous cosmologies – alongside stoneified text and cascading drips, reinforcing He Beam's pointed critique of colonialism, land ownership and historical narratives.

After delays, Gordie Howe bridge opens

The first vehicle will traverse the new crossing on Monday

KATE HELMORE

More than two decades of planning and construction for the 16-a-billion Gordie Howe International Bridge culminated Friday in a ceremony attended by a Canadian premier, ambassador and a federal minister, but no U.S. representatives.

This distinctly Canadian ceremony marked the official opening of a bridge between Windsor and Detroit that has been 25 years in the making.

The first vehicle will traverse the bridge on Monday — a new crossing at the hottest border point between the U.S. and Canada. Its competitor — the Ambassador Bridge — has been the only bridge to service the intertwined communities for more than a hundred years.

Premier Doug Ford stood next to federal infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson, Canadian Ambassador to the United States Mark Wiseman and Windsor Mayor Drew Dillens to cut the red ribbon. Indeed, the party, the 200-metre tall towers of the new bridge stretched into the sky.

A three-piece band played last the two of us and a lot of sunshine while children played ball hockey.

The bridge is shaped to look like a hockey stick in honour of its namesake: the Canadian-born hockey legend who took the Detroit Red Wings to lose Stanley Cup triumphs.

The name of the bridge is a “tremendous honour,” Gordie Howe’s son Mark told The Globe and Mail. It also fittingly represents the kind of honour being his father was, he said, adding that his dad loved people and building connections between them.

But this sense of camaraderie was in short supply on Friday morning. American representatives were unarmed in the celebration. Democratic State Senator Erika Goss told The Globe that her invitation was rescinded shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened 40-per-cent tariffs against Canada.

The ceremony also didn’t happen to the centre of the bridge, as Mr. Dillens told The Globe he had long envisioned. It happened on the Canadian side, on the ramp leading up to the bridge. Mr. Dillens said that is a symbol of the tense relations between the

U.S. and Canada.

“In normal times, this would be the type of event at a scale that happens so infrequently,” said Mr. Dillens, who added that it also shouldn’t come as a surprise given Mr. Trump’s threat of tariffs on Monday.

“How could we possibly in good faith celebrate with folks from the United States at this particular point in time?”

The bridge opening has been mined in uncertainty and controversy since February when Mr. Trump took to Truth Social to argue that the U.S. should own half of the bridge. Fourteen years ago, when the deal over the bridge was first signed, Ottawa agreed to pay the full sum. It would cover those costs by receiving the full revenues from bills.

But a planned opening of the bridge — scheduled for June — was delayed by the White House. The owner of the Ambassador Bridge had spent $5-million on campaign financing and hired a lobbyist firm with connections to the Trump administration, according to reporting from The Globe.

Then, until a wide deal announced earlier this month, Ottawa agreed to split equally with the United States “set bridge and crossing related revenues” for the first 45 years. The revenues will be divided between the two countries after operating costs are deducted.

The agreement says that the money will be paid by Canada to an economic development fund “established and solely controlled” by the U.S.

It does not include a clause that allows Canada to cover its debt-servicing costs for the bridge before splitting the revenues with the U.S. That contradicts what Prime Minister Mark Carney told CTV on Sunday about debt when he played down the amount of money that would be sent to the U.S.

Mr. Trump took to social media while the ceremony was under way, saying that the cancellation of the joint event was “fine, considering they are paying substantial TARRTS to the United States,” and noting that the U.S. had negotiated a better deal for the bridge.

“We changed the terms of the Deal so that the United States of America now got 50% of the Profit,” he posted to Truth Social.

To Mark Howe — one of 30 of his family who came to Windsor for the bridge opening — the controversy and “tarmad” between Canada and the U.S. is “unbattenous.” Mr. Howe considers both countries to be home. Born in Detroit, and a hockey Hall of Famer in his own right (collected in 2015), Mr. Howe remembers Canadian nights on Highway 49 travelling across Ontario and Michigan for tournaments.

“When I come to Canada, it is not a foreign country.”

For the trucking community, the ceremony is significant, regardless of geopolitics.

The bridge is “game-changing” when it comes to efficiency, said Michael Hovschi, vice president of sales for Specify Transport Group, Inc., a Canada-wide trucking company. Specify’s trucks will drive across the bridge between 85 and 100 times a year. The new bridge will cut down on average crossing time by 15 minutes.

“Everyone wants to politicize this,” he said. “But we need to be grateful as an industry that a piece of infrastructure this large was built.”

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is the most technologically advanced border crossing in Canada, said Steve Dewit, the chief executive of Bridging North America.

It is the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America, suspended above the Detroit River by 10.6 billion and 4.4 billion of steel bars. It is the culmination of 10 million hours of work conducted by more than 15,000 people. The crossing has 14 inspection lanes, 40 toll lanes, advanced screening technology for examining inside trucks and is directly fed by Highway 49 and Michigan’s interstate 19.

Direct highway access and many new inspection lanes will — depending on the size of the trucking company — drive cost savings between $10,000 and $100,000 a year, said Stephen Laskowski, president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance.

The communities of Windsor and Detroit were the only two truck traffic in their neighbourhoods, said Mr. Dillens, the Windsor mayor. The multitour bridge will mean Canadians and Americans on either side of the river can walk or bike across the border for the first time in at least 20 years. And that should be celebrated, he said.

“This is a nice celebratory event for the Canadians who actually paid for the event, who actually pushed the construction of the bridge and who got it done,” said Mr. Dillens.

The legacy of these benefits will radiate the fight between Canada and the U.S., said Mr. Howe.

“It’s kind of like when two guys have a disagreement on the list,” he said. “Sometimes a fight breaks out, you have to throw some flats and elbows but sooner or later they develop a respect for each other.”

Wildfires prompt new evacuations in B.C.

Historic town of Clinton joins Boston Bar on list of communities where residents are being ordered to leave

OM SHANNING SOFVIAN BERTIZZI

The trip British Columbia town of Clinton was founded during a gold rush and has its up to 100,000 history based into its streets. But as wildfires to the south and west close in and residents are ordered to leave, its future is unoccupied.

Historic Cafe, up, was a young schoolteacher when she moved to Clinton around 72 years ago from the province's coast. Now, the former president of the town's museum said she'll have to choose which photos of hot kids she keeps with for as she evacuates from the somers' care home she lives in.

'I'm finding it hard to leave things that I know I can't take with me,' she said.

The town of more than 600 people about 100 kilometers northwest of Kamloops has been placed under an evacuation border as of Friday. The state of the Pear Lake fire, west of the town, led to the order, according to the Thompson-Siccola Regional District.

Three fires - Pear Lake, Fifty-ONE Creek and French Bar Creek are burning around 24,000 fire-tares in the area close to Clinton.

In other parts of the southern Interior, Kimberley has been on an evacuation side since July 19 as a result of a large wildfire complex, while an evacuation order was declared for life in its Boston Bar - where fires continue to grow.

A mix of hot conditions and lightning strikes are mostly responsible for the fires. The year's wildfire season is expected to be as harsh as some of the worst on record, with projections ranking it among the 100 training years of 2007, 2008 and 2009.

As the town of Clinton evacuates, Mt. Cade isn't worried about everything getting out.

'As a small town, everybody pretty well, almost everybody knows there's somebody else,'

Smoke rises from the Pear Lake wildfire, which has forced the evacuation of the nearby town of Clinton, B.C., on Thursday. Three fires are burning around 25,000 fractions in the area. CATHOLPH D. HARTLEY

she said. 'Nobody gets left behind.'

The clinic have been smoky every day, said New Hinds, who runs a gas station and the only grocery store in Clinton. Mt. Hinds said he'll be staying open for as long as possible before evacuating, to provide emergency services and firefighters with fuel.

Mt. Hinds, who came to Clinton five years ago, said the townpeople know how to react because of a wildfire that devastated the region in 2007. The town was evacuated in July of that year, but no structures were damaged.

This year, approximately 30 properties have been affected in the region by the Fifty-one Creek wildfire, Colton Towles, communications manager at the Thompson-Siccola Regional District, said in an errand.

In addition, Mt. Towles said at least a dozen homes were lost at big bar lake, where the fire has been burning since last Friday, around 25,000 tons of water.

Wildfire smoke, mostly stemming from fires 150 km south of Clinton in the Fraser Canyon, continues to engulf much of the southern interior region of B.C., and is expected to stalk around for another 24 or 30 hours.

While air quality is improving in parts of the interior - such as regions in the Okanagan and Nicosia Valley - conditions have worsened elsewhere. The Fraser Canyon and the South Thompson were under air-quality warnings Friday afternoon.

Environment Canada says smoke conditions can vary considerably from by hour during a wildfire.

Network had the worst air quality in the world Thursday afternoon, according to the white Eglab, but since, Environment Canada has noted that air quality has improved.

Residents said the air quality improved on Friday, allowing tourist activities and business operations to resume as usual.

Ryan Walters, a communications advisor at Kelowna International Airport, said wildfire smoke and heavy winds caused flight delays and cancellations Thursday, but the conditions on Friday haven't led to disruptions.

The smoke on Thursday also caused the B.C. Summer Games, the province's largest biennial multilayer event, being held in Kelowna, to move the rest of the planned events for the day to do so.

Thousands of young athletes traveled to Kelowna, this week to participate in the Games, which were last held in the city to work.

Klaus Noble, president of the BC Games Society, said the programming resumed at usual Friday as the air quality improved and that despite the changes by Thursday's schedule, the 'stakes' energy has remained very high.

Ellen Walker Matthews, the CEO of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, said tourists in the region are simply getting used to the smoke and working their plans around it.

She noted that wineries were a

Residents in France and Spain flee homes as violent forest fires grow

CAROLINE BLUMBERG SAMUEL PETERSON JOSEPH WILSON

ARCAUCION, FRANCE

Maestro forest fires forced the evacuation of some 200,000 people in southwestern France and central Spain on Friday, with residents fleeing towns near Madrid and Bordeaux as the flames raged out of control.

Firefighters and authorities in both European countries were caught off guard by the virulence of the fires, which were fueled by high temperatures and the long-term effects of climate change. Firefighters on Spain admitted the fires were so fast and violent that they could not be touched at the home people even fled by boat when flames rained through the tourist area on France's Atlantic Coast.

Some 150,000 fled their homes in the Genesee and Landes-departments in France, the French Interior ministry said. In central Spain, 60,000 were forced from their homes, according to the Spanish interior ministry.

Deserts of French firefighters were injured, authorities said, but

no deaths were reported in either country despite the scenes of peace as to avoid the fire, or and police were done to do so to tell people

to leave as large planes of smoke may from the neighbouring woodlands.

France's Maestro Minister Laurent Moritz said that the large wildfire that brought large swaths of land in southwestern France is now heading toward the city of Bordeaux.

Speaking to French TV channel TV, Mr. Moritz said the wildfire that earlier in the day forced the evacuation of the Cap Ferret peninsula has swept across 600 square kilometres, with 100,000 people fleeing their homes in the Genesee region.

'We learned to the middle of the afternoon that, following the wind shift, it had become a large, self-sustaining fire that is extremely difficult to bring under control,' Mr. Moritz said. 'It is now moving east, toward the Bordeaux metropolitan area. We are going to recognize our response so we can fight it from the ground and prevent it from advancing toward Bordeaux.'

Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron has asked

Prime Minister Sébastien Lec'hon to indicate the government's crisis response until, and has instructed the armed forces to mobilize in order to provide the maximum possible reinforcement in the civilian emergency services.

'This fire that we have been living with and fighting against here in Genesee for three days has reached an unprecedented magnitude,' Sophie Bousin, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Perfect, said. 'So combat it, we will receive emergency significant national reinforcements.'

The blaze started on Wednesday near Cap Ferret peninsula on France's Atlantic Coast, located 40 km from Bordeaux, local authorities in the Genesee department said 12 homes and 40 people were destroyed, adding that 45 firefighters were injured. Around 1,000 people who fled the peninsula arrived by sea in the city of Arcachon, some aboard small water tanks and others on larger boats.

'It's quite impressive and even frightening,' said Laurent Moritz

It, a resident in the town of Artis, 'an evacuation on this scale has never happened before. All we really hope is that the firefighters can quickly get it under control.'

A separate wildfire broke out in Landes, causing 25,000 evacuations. Authorities believe the cause of both fires in France was accidental.

More than 20,000 people had already been evacuated from France and vacation season on Thursday, but that number exploded in Friday as both France and Spain asked fellow European Union members for help.

Mt. Macron said France will receive 157 reinforcements including two Croatian Canadian firefighting aircraft, two Portuguese Air Traveler aircraft, and two heavy-lift Black Hawk helicopters from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Martíaca said that Italy and Greece are each sending two Canadian water-dumping airplanes, while a thousand thousand others are helping firefighting efforts.

In Spain, the government declared a national emergency for wildfires for the first time as the blazes in Madrid and the nearby province of Artis prompted the evacuation of some 20,000 people from towns.

The fires are being fanned by a boat wave, with temperatures expected to tap up degrees Celsius in parts of Spain.

The two major fires west of Madrid reigned into one single blaze that had quickly churned an equator left by Friday afternoon. Regional President Isabel Diaz-Ayoso called it the worst in Madrid's history.

Francisco Martín, the central government representative for the region of Madrid, said that another 20,000 people had been restored to shelter at home. Mt. Martín said more evacuations could be coming and that the priority now was to protect the town of San Lorenzo, the home of the General Philip II's safe country's royal palace and monastery.

Local papers struggle as Canada Post sends more flyers

Publishers say Crown corporations knew venture is siphoning off ads, threatening a key source of revenue

CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS (NATIONAL)

Community newspaper owners claim Canada Post is helping in drive some of them on international thanks to a new partnership to target with the country's largest farming firm.

Last month, the Crown corporation launched an anti-rotary license to Kaddie with Canadian business, which saw Canada Post start defending demand deal leaflets across the country.

Community newspapers have tried friendly rifled on flyer bundles to fund their publications, which are delivered free to millions of readers in urban and rural communities.

Paul Deegan, chief executive of Nova Media Canada, which represents scenes of community papers among the top news files is a devocate. He says these outlets are now one of clients after being ordered by a government-based enterprise. The revenue loss threatens to shut down news outlets and leave residents less interested about their communities, he says.

'Essentially what's happened is that publishers that would find such a number of flyers as commercial inserts, these orders have all but decided up. It's literally 100 on off a cliff,' he Deegan said.

He tells her if it's anti-competitive because they're trying to squeeze so well.

In this latest example, Mr. Deegan points to 'Mississippi Community Review, a big political paper with cast and west editors that was dated to shut down on Friday. The closure will end delivery to 2012/2013

households and leave more than five part-time delivery workers out of a job less than two months after Kaddie's arrival, according to the industry association.

Community papers further wait are feeling the pinch too. Great West Media, which owns nine publications covering Alberta communities from Kailif and Kaddie's to independent Canada, has seen large retailers abandon to flyer offering and switch over to Kaddie - which offers a latch, thinner package that's easier for mail carriers to haul than traditional flyer bundles.

'That's not our flyer volumes by about 80 per cent, because now all that volume has shifted over to Canada Post,' said Evan Jamison, co-owner and vice-president of manufacturing at Great West Media, a family operation going back to the nation.

'It could be existential for some of them,' he said of the newspapers.

Canada Post notes that many community news groups have relied on to bring papers to downtime rather than on their own delivery systems. As some news companies use to shut down papers or scrap private delivery - even before Kaddie's arrival - the Crown corporation until it has stepped in to help fill the gap in flyer distribution.

'We understand the challenges facing community newspapers and continue to work with them. The entire flyer industry is causing a massive shift following the closure of some major players, which is affecting all who rely on this business - from papers to printers to distributors,' said Canada Post spokesperson Lisa Liu in an e-mail.

Montreal-based Transcontinental said Kaddie's national official gives retailers an alternative to digital ads and means more Canadian households will have access to savings on products ranging from groceries to home decor.

'In recent years, flyer distribution has

underpaw a significant transformation with the successive withdrawal of news organizations such as Glacier Media, Merroland and most recently, Postmedia from the business,' said Patrick Freelye, Transcontinental's chief operating officer.

'In the wake of these changes, we customers have welcomed Kaddie and Kaddie as an anti-effective national mass media platform with national reach and local provision.'

The company respects the role of local newspapers, he added, noting that Transcontinental has played a role in publishing and distributing local papers for decades. Nova Media Canada (whose members include the owners of The Canadian Press) has called on the central government to ensure Canada Post is offering community papers comparable pricing to what Transcontinental receives.

Industry leaders say not the House of Commons heritage committee should conduct hearings into how the Crown corporation can help sustain print news.

The challenges are not new. For community papers, however, the bleeding has worsened its recent years and some closures predate Kaddie's rollout.

Postmedia said on May 12, two days before Kaddie announced its countrywide expansion, that it would cease all flyer distribution by the end of August, costing 250 employees their jobs, 50 of them full-time positions.

In 2012, Postmedia residents learned they would lose more than 70 local print papers after Merroland Media Group announced it would move to a digital wall model, ending its flyer business and prompting more than two benefits.

The same year in British Columbia, Glacier Media shut down print operations for three papers in the Crown Mainland and two more in the province's northeast.

Prairie crop conditions strongest in a decade

ED WHITE (ESDINA)

Some as floods, tornadoes and hailstorms hammer the Canadian Prairies, farmers are seeing the best crop conditions in a decade before through the growing season, according to Earthshark's analysis of the most and agreement data.

The extreme weather has not lessened, but a years-long drought that left thousands of farmers across the vast Prairies struggling to produce a crop has caused a few beautiful spring rains provided enough moisture for the crop to generate. Warm summer weather has sped crop development.

'The vast majority of the Western Prairie is ahead, and looking pretty darned good,' said Nick Obreman, global crop analyst in local for Earthshark, about the entire Prairie region.

The region, equivalent in size to the farmland of Western Europe, has been the hard since now by drought, which dashed yields and ranged farmer finance.

The 250 million acres of Prairie farmland produce the world's biggest canola crop, are often the largest source of spring wheat, and the man picked supplies of the weather shadier crops, including lentils and mussels.

Mr. Obreman, 4th-annually on array of agronomic indicators to assess the agricultural situation, forms and furniture conditions to the state of the regulation canopy on the fields to the weather in microregions, much of it using satellite data.

This year, seven farmers have received beneficial rainfall. A covering periods of extreme dryness that hit large areas in recent years, providing not just enough moisture for the present month of the crops but also building reserves that could carry many all the way to harvest. A few more showers could allow most farmers to produce an excellent crop.

However, local weather shocks have hit specific areas, including major hailstorms, tornadoes and flooding from moisture rain. While those won't have a major impact on overall Prairie crop production,

the impact can be severe for individual farmers.

Farmer John Knockfield of central Alberta is among the unlucky ones. A long, alarm hit three quarters of his wheat, barley and canola acres with pos-sized half and probably cut yields on three fields by about half.

'It was looking really good until the hell,' Mr. Knockfield said.

The combination of heat and moisture is creating volatile weather unlike that seen since the droughts began. Humidity turns back, as when it gets hot with high humidity explosive events like tornadoes and hailstorms become common, with an unchanged air creating located dangers.

Central Saskatchewan farmer Rob Stone is in a better situation, with good moisture and sufficient heat helping his crops spend ahead.

'It's going through the stages like we've never seen before,' Mr. Stone said of the plant's growth. But the conditions to

crease the risk of fungal disease, he said.

'We've used to the Matt because, We've used to azeaned process,' said the company.

Strong yields of Canada's high-quality spring wheat, canola and pulse crops would be welcome news for global buyers at a time when production prospects are deteriorating in other major growing regions. Crops have taken a heating because of climate change-linked severe weather across Europe. A梨 or more in France and from Spain in Ukraine has reduced potential yields, and Russia's spring wheat crop faced problems from a cold spring, frost and seeding delays, making for the smallest area needed to decades.

The 11 3/4th weather phenomenon, which arises from summer season surfaces in the eastern Pacific, can be a problem in Southern Hemisphere crop regions like Australia and South Africa. Obreman said, due to dryness and heat.

Elmer Mackay, long-time Nova Scotia MP, dies at 90

Elmer Mackay, a Nova Scotia politician who spent more than two decades representing the Central Nova district in the federal government, has died.

His son, Peter Mackay, who also represented the Central Nova district in Ohio, confirmed his father's death in a post to the 5 social-media platform.

The younger Mr. Mackay said his father died at the age of 60 after an 'extraordinary life' of hard work and public service. Elmer Mackay was first elected to says both the federal Progressive Conservatives and he remained with the party until his last day in office in 1999.

In 1995, Mr. Mackay gave up his seat to allow new Progressive Conservatives leader Peter Maloney to run in a city town, and he was re-elected in 1996. Mr. Mackay held several cabinet posts under Mr. Maloney, including minister of

In a social-media post Friday, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston remembered Mr. Mackay for his dedication to his constituents.

'He served in the cafeteria of two prime ministers and held some of the most demanding portfolios in the federal government, but he never lost sight of his Pictou County roots,' Mr. Houston wrote on X.

'Elmer kept his name and number in the phone book so you could always get a hold of him... He was a great person who was always eager to help people.'

Peter Mackay said his father had the gisms of friends.

'He loved the forest, poetry, sport, law and political, and the children and vices really his family,' Peter Mackay wrote. 'Sleeps with Pops, you earned your rest.'

RCMW probes possible violent hate crime in New Brunswick

The video, which does not have audio, shows one woman repeatedly punching another in a Houston, N. B., pushing her as a man-dosage at the victim. Steven Zions, spokeswoman for the National Council of Canadian Missions, who has been in contact with the family and posted the video to its social media - said the attacker was shouting for the Muslim woman to 'go back to the police'.

He also stated that the altercation happened in front of her severe pay-sell arm.

'The whole family is abalone,' Mr. Zions said in an interview today, noting the victim suffered a concussion, a bloody nose, multiple ears and swelling in her face.

'The whole family is a very close. Isaac Thursdall that officers were called to an altercation involving multiple people in a parking lot on Saturday night and are working to determine if hate was a factor. Police said they're aware of the video and they're they're identified the people involved, but said in an e-mail Friday morning that there was no update on the investigation or possible arrests.

Mr. Zions said the video was filmed by a bystander who shared it with police and the victim's family. The family then shared it with the council. He said the council has talked with the seven-year old's father who says his son's behaviour has changed since the alleged assault.

'He has tremendous fears about things like the people who attacked his mom tracing them somehow in their home and hurting them there,' said Mr. Zions. 'He doesn't feel safe, often made his nose burnt. And if just like the sense that this is someone, a young child, that's just being psychologically scared for a long time.'

Zions said the number of reports of similar anti-Muslim incidents in the national council has increased dramatically since the Israel-Hamas war began in the fall of 2012, and there's been another noticeable spike over the past two months when the said there's usually at least one incident reported a day such as an assault, vandalism or harassment.

Shirts, Canada said there were a plot that crime reported in police in 2010, up 40 per cent from 2010. Race or ethnicity was a motivating in about half the 2012, but police were trying to claim in a further 21 per cent.

The work, Montreal police were called after a package containing an artificial imitation of a 'several, blood-covered human hand' was found outside an informant.

The film month, Halifax police charged a man with inclement of hatred, assault and stirring threats after a racist insult in a Centre store was captured on video. In June, the KC Muslim Association said a imam of a mosque in Victoria was attacked in a vehicle outside his home.

The council is calling for the federal government to create a national strategy on Islamophobia. Mr. Zions says implementing it will take community leaders, municipal councillors and provincial representatives as well.

Premier Susan Holt said in a social-media post Thursday that she's simply disturbed by the pushing for incident and there's no place for Islamophobia in New Brunswick.

'No one should ever be targeted because of their faith, this race, or where they are from. Every day, they should be fed safe in New Brunswick, and they shall deserve to grow up fine from fear and dismal,' Mr. Holt said in the statement.

Local MP Gwenni Pettipan 'he he said in a statement that she's managed to get him to reach out to faith and communist leaders.

'Most motivated persons are on the rise in Canada and we must not be alone,' she said.

'Our status is unhappier those who seek to divide us.'

How countries are responding to Trump's latest tariffs

Australian Trade Minister calls the latest U.S. levies 'completely unjustified'

ELAINE KURTENBAUM CHAIN HQ-INW EXHIBITION

U.S. President Donald Trump's latest set of tariff hikes drive objections Texas from America's trading partners including China and Japan, with Australia's Trade Minister slamming them as 'completely unjustified.'

The administration announced extra tariffs of 10 per cent to 12.5 per cent on its economies last Thursday, saying the countries had failed to adequately enforce a ban on goods made with forced labour.

The new tariffs took effect just as stoppage levies Mr. Trump imposed after a stinging defeat at the Supreme Court expired at 12:01 A.M. Friday.

Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell rejected claims linking Australia, a major exporter of beef, gold and copper, to modern slavery and raising the tariff on its exports to the U.S. to 12.5 per cent from the 10-per-cent level imposed after Mr. Trump's 'liberation law' hikes last year.

'We believe that amongst all of the countries in the world Australia does take the issue of slavery, modern slavery, seriously, and will continue to do that,' Mr. Farrell told reporters in Adelaide.

Australia believes the higher tariffs are 'completely unjustified and we will continue to lobby the United States Trade Representative to remove all tariffs on Australian goods,' Mr. Farrell said.

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Larson said the tariffs on his country, also subject to a 12.5-per-cent import duty, were 'extremely disappointing' unjustified and harmful to trade.

A U.S. investigation serving as the basis for the tariffs did not provide meaningful evidence to

support allegations of forced labour.

'Tariffs are not the way - they drive up costs and uncertainty for businesses,' he wrote on X.

European Union foreign policy chief Kajii Kailas questioned the U.S. stand in comments on Channel News Asia.

'If you compare our labour laws to the ones of the United States, I mean we have, people have paid vacations, we have very good conditions, labour conditions for our employees, we do not really grounded,' Ms. Kailas said.

Also facing a 12.5-per-cent tariff, Singapore's Ministry of Trade and Industry, which reiterated its stand of not condoning the use of forced labour, said it would 'continue to engage the USTR (United States Trade Representative) to explore options.'

Japan likewise protested the 12.5 per-cent tariff imposed on its exports, noting Tokyo had been encasured by the Trump administration

that there would be no more tariffs on top of an earlier agreement on a 10-per-cent U.S. import duty.

'Our understanding is both sides are still committed to that,' Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara told a routine news conference.

It is regrettable that the measure imposes tariffs on the grounds of non-existence of measures banning imports of goods made by forced labour, even though Japan's industry and trade are in line with international rules,' Mr. Kihara said.

South Korea said it will maintain close communication with the United States to preserve a mutual 'balance of benefits.'

South Korea's trade ministry said the announcement stood some uncertainty over U.S. trade policy, but noted that a Section 301 investigation into alleged Korean excess production continues.

The combined duties on South

Korean exports should not exceed 15 per cent, the ministry said in a statement.

Thailand noted it is subject to the new 12.5 per-cent tariff by the U.S. under the forced labour provision, but the measure exempts around 1,500 forms, representing more than half the value of Thai goods exported to the U.S.

Thailand also is monitoring the possibility of an additional tariff on the grounds of structural overcapacity under another continuing U.S. probe against 10 countries, but Washington has not yet announced those results, the Thai Commerce Ministry said in a statement.

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it 'supposes all forms of unilateral tariffs' in response to the new 12.5 per-cent tariffs, reiterating a long-standing statement by Beijing.

'Tariff wars and trade wars do not serve any parties' interests,' ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a regular news conference.

Trade tensions have clouded relations between China and the U.S., two of the world's biggest economies, as Mr. Trump's hefty 'liberation law' tariffs resulted in a sharp drop in Chinese exports to the U.S.

Mr. Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who agreed to set up new boards of trade and investment at their mid-May meeting in Beijing, are expected to meet again in September.

Some Chinese exporters say, however, the impacts are so far limited as the latest U.S. tariffs on China are still at lower levels than last year's rates, which were initially 24 per cent.

'Of course it'd be best if they [tariffs] are not there,' said Richard Chan, manager of Golden Arts Gifu & Nocan, which manufactures Christmas trees and decorations in the southern Chinese city of Dongguan and supplies globally to those including Walmart.

Golden Arts' share of sales to the U.S., however, already have fallen to approximately 10 per cent in 20 per cent as U.S. tariffs added more uncertainty over the past months. They have pivoted more to Europe, which now accounts for roughly 70 per cent of their sales, Mr. Chan said.

Wendy Cutler, a former senior U.S. trade official, said the latest trend of tariffs involved 'low surgeries' since they range just between 10 per cent and 12.5 per cent.

The U.S. Trade Representative's office spent four months investigating the basis for those tariffs to meet legal requirements under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974.

'Time will all whether the final attempt to impose tariffs is the charm and this action stands up to legal challenges,' said Ms. Cutler, senior vice-president of the Aac Society Policy Institute.

Further tariffs may be coming to the full related in alleged structural excess capacity of trading partners, but noted.

Beekeepers may get stung by U.S. tariffs

Canadian workers say honey prices could fall by as much as 40 per cent

NATKIN VANDEERLOPPE

INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT

Every summer, Canadian beekeepers install their hives across the Prairies, where their hives bear on fields of alfalfa, flower and canola. The climate tends not to produce the high winds or sand that keep the bees at home and the long northern days offer extra losses to a work force that labours from canop to sundown.

It makes for a remarkable place to turn excise into golden sweetness.

"Pounds per hive, Canada has some of the highest honey production in the world," says Saskatchewan beekeeper Simon Lalonde.

But Canada's beekeepers are now attempting to swallow sour news. The U.S. said this week is still impose a 50-per-cent tariff on imports of Canadian honey, one of hundreds of goods - from concrete to kraft paper to wigs in rural animals - caught up in what President Donald Trump's administration called retaliatory action against Canada.

If those tariffs come into place as promised on Aug. 16, beekeepers in Canada say honey prices could fall by 20 per cent. Some beekeeping businesses may fail.

"The whole industry is in an uproar over this," said Peter Aviram, who uses Worker Res' Honey Company, a family business in Rosedale, S.C. and Boyle, Alta. "It will be brutal."

The honey industry has made for an unlikely stand-in for the broader trade relationship between Canada and the U.S. - an interdependent, collegial cross-border business in which both sides have worked alongside each other for decades with few grievances - only to see it threatened with grave disruption, for reasons people struggle to understand.

Honey has not historically been a source of major trade friction. Canada supplies just a per cent of the honey Americans consume, much of it industrial-grade product used in breakfast cereals and honey hams. The business of beer is also far from a one-way trade. Last year, the U.S. imported just over 150,000 million in Canadian honey. But it sold to Canada nearly 150,000 million in queen bees.

img-27.jpeg

Honey former and beekeeper Simon Lalonde works in one of his two yards near Saskatoon on Friday. Concerns are rising for Canadian honey getting caught up in the new U.S. tariffs. LAW REVIEWED THE GLOBE AND MAIL

So in the U.S. "we don't mind that I've left honey down to us," said Mr. Linder. "That's not a big deal."

Just why honey might have been added to the tariff list is a question no one can confidently answer. Some of the U.S. new tariffs apply to symbolically Canadian goods, like hockey sticks. But they do not cover the country's most famous sweetener, maple syrup.

Honey, by contrast, will be hit so hard that "it would probably mean a total termination" of exports to the U.S., said Mr. Lalonde, who is president of the Saskatchewan Beekeepers Development Commission.

"I'm mad as hell about this," he said. "They didn't even ask us what we thought. They just threw us into the mix."

The honey tariffs will also hurt an area the U.S. seems to have sought to spare. Economists have calculated that the new tariffs will largely leave Alberta and Saskatchewan untouched. Honey is the exception. Those two provinces - along with Manitoba - produce the vast majority of Canadian honey. Forty per cent comes from Alberta alone.

Honey "just does not fit into a targeted area" for tariffs unless you're trying to "raise the backlist" of premiere Danielle Smith, Scott Moe and Walt Kinow, Rod

Scarlett, the executive director of the Canadian Honey Council said.

Last year, Canadian beekeepers produced 16 million pounds of honey, a 16,000-million industry.

The U.S. currently buys roughly 10 per cent of Canadian product. Japan is the second largest export market. Other international buyers take only small amounts.

Statistics Canada counts 40,000 beekeepers across the country; of those, roughly 500 maintain large commercial operations on the Prairies. Many are family-owned businesses that sell their products to co-operative-owned packers. Beekeepers estimate their hives support $7 billion in Canadian agri-

culture through pollination of blueberries, apples, cherries and hybrid canola seed.

In a statement, Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Murti warned that long-term imposition of the honey tariff could hurt "emplacement of seasonal workers, reduce investment and pause expansion plans." The province will continue to advocate "to defend our exporters, protect jobs and make the case for open trade that benefits both countries," he said.

Some say the tariff threat should prompt Canada to reverse a nearly 20-year ban on the import of U.S. packaged bees -

both shipments used to stock hives. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has cited past risks from the U.S. bees, but beekeepers on both sides of the border have argued that it would be better to let them in.

"We want Canada to quit importing bees from everywhere else. And we'll really like to close the continent to all her imports," said Mr. Linder, who is director for the Beech-Nut. Alliance, a political advocacy group. He is hopeful for a solution in which Canada amends its policy and the U.S. drops its honey tariffs.

The CFIA, however, reaffirmed its ban last year, saying it is acting to protect honey bees and not "the economic interests of stakeholders."

Beekeeping is a cyclical business. Honey prices have been so low in recent years that many producers have operated in the red, waiting for another surge in prices.

This year looked like it would be better. Earlier this week, buyers in the U.S. the U.S. were using a healthy increase in per-pound prices. Following the tariff announcement, those buyers have gone quiet and Canadian beekeepers are contemplating the possibility of another year that they end power than they began.

"It was a pretty good price," said Mr. Aviram.

The U.S. currently buys roughly 10 per cent of Canadian product. Japan is the second largest export market. Other international buyers take only small amounts.

If exports to the U.S. are halted, "there's a good chance of prices dropping 20 per cent, maybe more," said Mr. Aviram, who also serves on the board of the Canadian Beekeepers Federation.

"Nobody is happy right now."

Losing sales could create larger problems, too. Beekeepers have two primary revenue streams: selling honey and pollinating fruit. If the honey side of the business is damaged, costs for pollination could rise. Fewer bees could be available, too. If beekeepers are forced out of business.

"Now those costs will be passed along to the final growers, who have to pass those costs to the buyers of the fruit," said Mr. Lalonde.

"One small thing is going to start affecting an awful lot of different sectors."

Ottawa consulting aid agents that mislead, malfunction

Federal government also asking Canadians for views on labelling Al generated content

MARK WOOLF OTTMAN

Ottawa is consulting Canadians on what action should be taken to deal with Al agents that mislead people with false information, or act against their interests such as shopping for more products than a customer ordered.

The federal government has launched a formal consultation of people Canadians. News on how to deal with the increasing use of Al technology, including asking about labelling Al generated content, such as music, written reports and videos, with watermarks. The consultation follows the launch by Evan Solomon, Minister of Political Intelligence and Digital Innovation, of the federal Al strategy in October.

The consultation is sending views from Canadians, including such experts, on what action should be taken to make the use of Al transparent and to address mistakes resulting from its use. The consultation, which includes a survey, on the small topic, is) and will inform the government's next steps.

The survey is accompanied by a detailed discussion paper, published on Thursday, which sets out five areas for consideration.

One question the discussion paper poses is who should be responsible if an Al children gives a person the wrong information.

The paper says Al is being increasingly used by Canadians who 'may now encounter Al agents that they can direct to the their shopping, used their emails, or book their meetings'.

But it adds 'the growing adoption of Al agents challenge our understanding of liability and heightens Al-related risks.'

The paper includes an actual example of a result in Toronto in May who submitted an online inquiry in a car dealership about selling for car. A text communication with him said it would offer to buy back the vehicle for $125.95, that he then received a call from a state consultant who explained that he had been communicating with an Al children who made the offer to cover. The agent, who identified itself as Quinn, had not indicated to be car owner that it was not human. The news the dealership would pay would be $125,000, the said consultant said. Last 4 against it pay the amount the Al had opened.

The discussion paper says that several countries and jurisdictions, including the EU and a number of states in the U.S. have put in place requirements to ensure that users know when they are interacting with an Al system.

But it added that Al agents are now interacting with other Al agents, making it more difficult to identify which agent did when, when and why.

'Multi-agent interactions introduce reliability challenges due to miscontribution or conflicts between agents, and thus have both shared and individual goals.' the discussion paper says. 'Additionally, an Al agents and multi-agent systems become more powerful, the consequences of malfunction, such as executing unauthorized actions, can become more significant for Canadians and society at large.'

It adds that Al agents can increasingly be used to maintain discipline, including cybercrises and identity theft.

'Shopping agents can be tricked by malicious actors to act against the shopper's best interests, potentially freeing products that are too expensive or not what the one discussed in discussion paper says.'

While Al agents' employees in buy goods can make Canadians' lives easier by automatically buying weekly groceries from an e-commerce site. 'They can also malfunction, with potentially serious financial consequences.'

In one case, most of the paper, a consumer gives an agent access to their credit card and shopping account, but the Al orders 15 packages of a product, rather than a single package of 15, spending for more than the consumer intended.

'Responsibility for the malfunction is not straightforward to assign between the consumer, the business operating the agent, and the original developer of the agent, and the consumer's services for orders may be unclear,' the paper said. Some businesses have decided their users are responsible when Al agents don't behave as directed, it added.

The discussion paper warns that Al systems are able to produce persuasive and authoritative-sounding outputs that may be formally incorrect.

It cites a review of decisions on the Canadian legal database between January 2014 and March 2016 identified 101 Canadian decisions issued by 44 different courts and tribunals to which at least one party cited a fictitious case as legal authority.

The consultation said the court or tribunal found to be hinted that the fictitious cases had been generated using Al in 49 of those 151 decisions.

Generative Al enables the creation and dissemination of discipline or misleading content with serious and even life-threatening consequences, the paper warns.

Besides Al generated content has already appeared in financial scams targeting Canadians and during events like wildfire consequences. The paper says.

The government is seeking to understand where transparency about Al systems and Al generated content matters most to Canadians, and these further action might be warranted. It said in the discussion paper that it warns feedback on whether individualism, voluntary codes and other policy instruments should be used to enhance transparency.

The consultation follows the recent introduction of the All Social Media Bill, while if macron, would make speakers of regulated social media companies label synthetic content on their platforms. This could include identifying messages, video, audio, and text created or modified by Al.

The consultation works views on whether invisible, or visible watermarks, disclosures, or metadata telling the provenance of the content would best help determine public content.

Many government Al developers have much content with watermarks, but the discussion paper warns that, while approaches for marking audits, images and video are quite well developed, watermarks applied to the 'tension bridle' and may be used.

'This consultation will help ensure Canadians have a voice of making practical and effective transparency measures,' Mr. Solomon said in a statement.

India seeks more time on protesters' call for Education Minister to resign

reporters. 'We hope the government will dismiss Dharmendra Pradhan at the earliest, or the first stage, to that we can bring this matter to a conclusion.'

Mr. Nadda said the talks were cordial.

Besides the resignation of Mr. Pradhan, CP minister of the called against protesters dropped, said compensation paid to families of more than a dozen six states who local media reported with their own lives after the exam paper leak in May.

Although the protesters agreed to build talks, they had also called for nationwide demonstrations on Friday over alleged India brutality against protesters who marched on parliament on Monday.

While thousands of protesters

continued to gather at the main interest site of Jattar Manzar in central Delhi, there were reports of scattered protests across the country.

Students, small activists and opposition supporters staged protests in the states of West Bengal, Dhaugiri, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, holding placards demanding for Pradhan's resignation and boycotting classes in some places, local media reports.

Pudhatham was disrupted and suspended again on Friday as opposition lawmakers also demanded for Pradhan's resignation, with no business conducted for the entire week.

The movement's surge in a slaying reflects frustrations among young Indians over issues such as job shortages, as well as frequent exam leaks, analysis say.

But experts say the federal government's efforts to improve safety through action laws won't reduce crime levels in the long term because of overt labor concerns.

Anthony Deane, a professor emeritus of criminology at the University of Nebraska, said the questions the need for bail in men when seeking more crime rates went down.

Ottawa is incorrectly correlate: big crime levels with the level of punishment in the criminal jurisdiction of India. I've found a call for the police's 'cheap politics.'

'Criminalis are not planning on getting caught in the first place. In the process this long night got isn't really figuring in their decisions as to whether they are committing offences or not,'

he said in an interview.

Fred Doole said he can't point to why crime rates have increased to 2015, but it's having trends frequently correlate with socio-economic status and social policies, such as health care and education access.

Since forming government last year, the federal Liberals have passed three bills targeting criminal justice reforms.

Bill C-14, which toughens bail and sinistering risks, came into three last weeks. The legislative targets repeat and violent of lenders in cases such as set thefts, breaking and entering and extortion.

The federal government has also passed two adding further penalties for serious actual offences and mandatory minimum sentencing requirements.

The Statucan numbers are good news for Canadians, but there's still more work to do, said Justice Ioannes Fugue Mgangar, spokesperson for Justice Minister John Fraser.

To threats evolve, no one keep working with our partners and moving with urgency to strengthen Canada's laws and keep Canadians safe,' Mr. Fugue Mgangar said.

Toronto was among the Canadian cities with falling crime rates in 2015. Total crimes against a person dropped by 3.4 per cent, from 13.349 in 2014 to 5.44 in 2015, ending a five year of consecutive increases, according to the Toronto State Service and Federal Statistics Program.

Bonnicides decreased by 2 per cent last year, from 8.16 in 2014 to 4.16 in 2015, However attempted murder rise by 19.5 per cent, from 4.4 to 4.6.

Toronto Police Chief Myron Dronks, uprising before the Toronto Police Service Board on Thursday, said 'while the trend is downwards, one shooting is too much.'

Mr. Dronks said Toronto residents should be able to walk around the city without fear of indiscriminate gunfire.

A July 13 Toronto festival shooting organics calls for officers' penalties to show gang and gun violence.

The incident at the Selas on St. Clair street festival killed two men and injured five others, including bystanders, shutting down the festival. On Friday, in the city's west end, a woman was finally shot and a suspect was arrested.

TPJ spokesperson Stephanie Sayer said denying crime rates and bail reform are not contradictory, and focused on repeat offenders and those with frequent offences.

'It's about crossing that individuals who pose a significant risk to public safety are not repeatedly released while facing serious violent charges,' she said in an e-mail.

Catherine Latimer, a criminologist and executive director of the John Howard Society of Canada, said the lower crime rates in 2015 validates the concern that there is no evidence to justify all tough penalties and bail reforms will curb crime.

'What you're getting is no erosion of fundamental criminal justice principles, but what is an incorrect, refusing to Charter rights such as reasonable bail and presumption of innocence.

'If your country is panicking, you can't have to be a new convict of an offence; you're outside of fundamental principles. It's not a good idea.'

U.S., Iran trade strikes for 13th-straight night

Tehran urges people in neighbouring countries to stay away from bases with American troops

JULIA FRANKEL STELLA MARTANY (PBS), JQAG

The U.S. military said Friday that it fired on another merchant vessel that was trying to breach its blockade of Iranian ports, while Iran targeted American strongholds around the Persian Gulf.

The U.S. and Iran showed no sign of backing away from their conflict after a 13th-straight night of strikes. With fighting during again and diplomacy uncertain, both sides made moves suggesting an escalation was possible. U.S. embassies in the Middle East began alerting Americans in the region that options to leave could become more limited, while Iran's Revolutionary Guard advised residents of neighbouring countries to stay away from bases with U.S. troops.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia struck the port city of Hodeida in Yemen in response to Iranian-backed Hodeida rebel attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said early Saturday. The Hodeida said the group would reclaim after tensions have been thriving for weeks, breaking a year-long calm.

American forces disabled the NCT Laviour in the Gulf of Oman after the ship attempted to run the blockade at least four times. Captain Tim Hawkins, 2, Captain Command spokesperson, told the Associated Press. Capt. Hawkins stressed that the ship's crew was warned and didn't comply with commands. The military then fired into its engine room. It's the second commercial ship to be disbanded in the military composed its blockade. U.S. Central Command said it also has redirected 12 vessels.

The same day the naval blockade was reimposed, the U.S. military said it opened fire on the Corsican-flagged oil tanker Belma sailing toward Khayy Island. Iran's main oil expert trumpet in the Persian Gulf. After the ship "opened multiple warnings," a U.S. aircraft disabled the merchant vessel by firing a missile into the ship's smokestack on July 15.

Earlier on Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump described negotiations with Iran as "by far the most serious that we've seen,"

even as the U.S. has launched daily strikes. Mr. Trump added that he's "not in a hurry" to end the war.

Sowing that Iran "will not bow to U.S." bullying, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Alaghchi noted continuing discussions with two global powers often at odds with Americans - China and Russia - and warned in an interview with the semi-official news outlet Tassim that the Islamic Republic is "neither intimidated by threats nor will we hold no pressure."

At the center of the fight is the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for world energy supplies that has been effectively shut down by Iranian attacks, sending fuel prices soaring and causing widespread economic turmoil.

U.S. STRIKES SITES ACROSS IRAN AND COUNTRIES IN THE REGION ARE THRU-FED

In the northern Iraqi city of Irele, which is home to a contingent of American military advisers, security officials said Friday that U.S.-led forces had shut down five explosive-laden drones. Repeated Islam refused to trial, the capital of Iraqi's semi-antonomous Kurdish region, and planned of black smoke were seen near its airport, where U.S. forces are based. U.S. military officials did not respond to a request for comment on the apparent attacks.

Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it had targeted the U.S. base in Udairi, Kuwait, setting ablaze and destroying three ammunition and storage sheds. It also claimed to have struck a watchtower for the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, based in Kibraen, which it said was damaged.

U.S. Central Command did not respond to inquiries about the claims.

Both Kibraen and Jordan said they had intercepted aerial attacks by Iran on Friday.

As a barrage of assaults was aimed at bases of the United States and its allies, the U.S. hit a Revolutionary Guard naval base in northern Iran, according to the semi-official news outlets Iran and DNA. Blasts from U.S. bombastment were also reported on Iran's Qeshot Island, a base for naval assets including drone boats that Iran can use to attack vessels in the strait, as well as in Isfahan province, home to a major Iranian air base and one of Iran's nuclear sites.

Additional strikes reportedly hit Iran's southwest Khuzestan province and southern Iran province.

Central Command said the latest barrage was designed to "bottle" degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting regional waters" as the Americans push to overpass the strait, through which one-fifth of

the world's oil and gas transited in power-time.

SOUTH AFRACES GIVE IRAN MORE LEVERAGE IN POTENTIAL NEGOTIATIONS

A diplomatic delegation from Oman, which has been involved in mediation efforts between the U.S. and Iran, was in Tehran on Friday to discuss managing shipping traffic in the strait, according to Iran's debt news agents.

Iran's ability to effectively close the strait - and cause economic chaos far beyond the Middle East - gives it tremendous leverage to negotiations. Its Hodeida allies increased that leverage when they targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea on Thursday - increasing the risks of shipping through another vital route for Middle Eastern oil. The attacks made good on the Hodeida threat to close the Rab oil - Hodeida's threat to Saudi-linked shipping.

An official at the Transport General Authority also said a Saudi vessel was targeted Friday while sailing in the Red Sea, resulting in minor damage to its hull, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

Hodeida ran Al Mahdub television said early Saturday that Saudi strikes hit facilities belonging to the state telecommunications corporation and also targeted Kamaran Island, off Yemen's western coast. The broadcaster said one employee was injured and a woman was also wounded in the Kamaran Island.

Saudi Arabia said it would do everything necessary to protect its ships and warned the Hodeida if they continued "handle out after them will be no hesitation in responding."

The strait at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, and around 12 per cent of the world's trade, including one-fourth of global container traffic, passes through them.

The price of Brent crude oil, the international standard, dipped slightly Friday to about US$40, but it is still up substantially from before the start of the war, when it was trading around US$75 a barrel. Moments to the U.S. saw gas prices tick up to an average of US$4.6 a gallon, AAA said.

Beyond the economic impact, the human toll was also apparent, with the Iranian Health Ministry reporting that 3,414 people have been killed since the war began.

Taiwan wants peace but prepares for war

MARCUS YAM (TAPPI)

P. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H.

“What if someone wanted to take your two?” said his mother, Shiao-Ying Yu, 45, trying to explain the decades-old conflict that will shape the future of the young boy’s life. “How would you feel?”

Since January, he and his parents have attended weekly civil defense group meetings at Shuan Elementary School in New Taipei City.

They are part of a small but growing movement of civilians preparing for a crisis they hope never comes. For decades, Taiwan knew it could count on U.S. support if China were to make good on its view to unify the self-governed island of 15 million with mainland China. But under U.S. President Donald Trump, that security guarantee is no longer a certainty.

Taiwan’s civilian vanguard does not expect to stop an invasion. Instead, the movement is focused on what it would take for the island to survive the first days of a war. Mocking in emergency that disables the systems it depends on. The kind of conflict Taiwan is bracing for will kick off with disrupted communications, damaged infrastructure, over-whelmed emergency services and widespread uncertainty.

Taiwanese security analysts, civil defense organizers and government officials describe the required response as a whole-or-secure effort rather than a purely military one. In the limited space between peace and war, ordinary citizens become first responders, responsible for keeping their families, neighborhoods and communities functioning.

CIVIL DEFENCE

In Syria and Ukraine, civil defense groups exemplified a vision by rushing into collapsed buildings after air strikes, rescuing survivors, providing first aid and evacuating civilians.

The phenomenon is relatively new in modern-day Taiwan, according to Yeh Lin, an associate professor studying civil defense at Academia Sinica, a Taiwanese research academy. Part of the impetus to form such groups was frustration with Taiwan’s China-friendly Kuantintang party, which gained momentum in 2018 local elections and took control of parliament in 2024. Protesters who once took to the streets sought new ways to stay connected and address the Chinese threat. A handful of autonomous groups grew to at least 50 nationwide, Dr. Lin explained.

The other catalysts were the crackdown on anti-government protests in Chinese-controlled Hong Kong and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, both scenarios Taiwanese could imagine happening in their country.

Since 2020, civilian-led organizations such as Kama Academy and Forward Alliance have sprung up to teach people first aid, disaster response and emergency communications. Together, they have trained 150,000 people across the island.

Though it is a grassroots movement, the government has co-operated with civil defense groups. In 2024, Taiwan’s defense ministry published a special handbook, In One of three, outlining the starting the groups have been providing. Not wanting to appear alarmed, the government frames these efforts as emergency preparedness rather than wartime mobilization, emphasizing skills that are equally useful after earthquakes and typhoons.

“Our challenges never come – from natural disasters and epidemics to extreme weather and the threat of aggression from China,” the handbook warns. On its first page, Patriot missile batteries stand against the skyline of Taipei.

TRAINING FOR A WORST-CASE SCENARIO

Kate Hsu, 44, stepped onto the firing line in the basement of Iman Church, where the pulpit and chairs had been pushed aside to make room for helmets, eye protection and aircraft rifles. She shouldered her rifle, waited for the shot timer's beep and fired away.

A fluorescent light illuminated the smoke coming out of her firing chamber. A Hán Làm, her attentive husband, stood beside her, reloading her magazines.

The couple are not soldiers. They own an interior decorating business. Like many of the people gathered in the church basement — a fitness coach, a hardware engineer, a librarian — they were training for a worst-case scenario.

Long before she learned to shoot an aircraft rifle, Ms. Hsu's political education began with the 2014 Sunflower Student Movement protesting a trade pact with China. The occupation of Taiwan's legislature was the first time she realized that politics could no longer be treated as something distinct from ordinary life.

She used a Chinese phrase to explain: 'Repair the roof before it rains.'

The fact that her eldest son is almost old enough for Taiwan's mandatory military service worries her — especially since parliament slashed defence spending on military equipment.

'This isn't something we should react to only after China attacks,' she said. 'We have to prepare beforehand.'

Taiwan's strict gun-control laws mean training must be conducted with aircraft rifles and handguns.

A SENSE OF DUTY

Dominic Ho, 25, was called to action by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 'There is always a threat from China,' he said. 'They always say Taiwan belongs to China. They say one day they will invade. We just don't know which day.'

So he began with an introductory civil defence course offered by Roma Academy. Since then, his Life & Witch-themed bedroom has filled up with emergency supplies, civil defence equipment and Kevin body service.

He has spent the past two years getting in shape for his mandatory military service and has put off taking a full-time job so he can leave when the military calls.

'This is my duty,' he said. 'My responsibility, China pushed me to finish this duty.'

Hegumi Zuo never imagined she would spend her later years learning how to tie rescue knots, apply tourniquets or organize emergency supplies around her apartment. At 61, she is short and frail and works from home as a Japanese translator and online language teacher. But once a week, she joins a civil defence group in New Taipei City's Banqian district for retirees, homemakers and people who do not have regular jobs. She isn't preparing to become a hero – she just doesn't want to be a burden.

Her husband has health problems, so evacuation would be very difficult if war or another disaster were to strike. Which is why Ms. Zuo has organized their home around staying in place. Water, food and emergency kits are now stored in different parts of their apartment, just in case one room becomes inaccessible.

Aonta Yang owes a sailing school on Taiwan's East Coast that teaches participants how to reconnect with the sea. He is also an anesthesiologist and has been asked to participate in mass-casualty resident drills in his hospital in preparation for war.

BACK TO THE SEA

When Aonta Yang bought his first sailboat, he wasn't thinking about China. The anesthesiologist wanted to photograph whales.

But what began as a recreational purchase dreadnuts had into something else entirely. Today, Dr. Yang, Jr., onto a sailing school with operations along the rugged coastline of eastern Taiwan, in Hualien and Yilan. His students range from teenagers to retirees. While most of them are pursuing a new hobby, increasingly some still him they want to learn to sail so they can evacuate by sea if conflict with China

ever breaks out. Others ask about buying their own boats or preparing provisions for longer voyages.

Living on the East Coast, Dr. Yang has watched Taiwan's military posture change in subtle but unmistakable ways. He lives near the Chiaohun Air Force Base, where roading fighter jets scramble into the skies almost daily. 'Twenty years ago, you might hear fighter jets once in a while,' he said. 'Now it's morning and evening.'

Coast Guard patrols have become routine. Tanks appear during exercises. Soldiers stand watch at picturesque spots along the coast.

Dr. Yang believes Taiwan has lost its fundamental

relationship with the sea. For decades, he argues, Taiwan gradually turned away, partly because of China.

'Because we were enemies, they tightly controlled seafaring. They were afraid people would smuggle guards or that spies would cross the water. Over a long period of time, those restrictions caused Taiwan's spirit of maritime adventure to shrink.'

To him, rebuilding that relationship with the sea is about rebuilding part of Taiwan's identity.

BUYING TIME

When Derek and Pei Chen decided to get married last year, they skipped almost everything typical of Taiwanese weddings. No lavish hemport. No large guest lists. No elaborate photo shoot. Just their immediate family.

'The real reason?' she said, smiling as he interrupted to explain. 'We were afraid of a China invasion.'

As public talk about a possible attack intensified after increased Chinese military activity around Taiwan, practical matters became more urgent. Mc Chen is a physician training to become an emergency medicine resident. Taiwan's hospitals, he believes, would quickly become overwhelmed in a mass-casualty event.

Last October, the Chens started what they call the Resilience Clinic Network Project, known to Chinese by the nickname Otomole. 'The Local Intake... a person who knows every shortcut and every back alley in a neighbourhood. In a disaster, that's exactly the person Mc Chen wants every community to have.'

The project operates a medical training and logistics workshop, borrowing lessons from the war in Ukraine, where neighbourhood clinics and volunteer medics stabilize casualties before they ever reach hospitals. Mc Chen hopes he can recreate that model in Taiwanese communities, not not only to doctors but by trained nurses, volunteer paramedics and ordinary civilians.

'We don't expect to save everyone,' he said. 'We want to buy people time.'

The couple have dedicated an entire room to their apartment to storing a large medical cache for a nightmare scenario. Plastic storage bins filled with tourniquets, trauma dressings, IV supplies, chest seals and emergency equipment line the walls.

Mc Chen, a fundraiser, has learned how to stop severe bleeding, apply a tourniquet, pack wounds and perform CPR. After such scenario, they talk through what they could have done differently.

'He gives me random tests,' she said, laughing. 'He wants to polish my skills.'

After all the hours they have spent preparing, she said, the hardest lesson was accepting that one day they may have to separate in a crisis. 'It made me very sad.'

img-47.jpeg

Derek and Pei Chen are seen at a park near their home in Taichung, Taiwan. He is a physician training to become an emergency medicine resident.

Mc Chen believes preparedness begins at home. He asked his wife to pack her own emergency backpack so she would be familiar with its contents. Then he began turning ordinary conversations into talks about contingency planning.

BEHIND THE LENS

Taiwan sits like a stubborn corona in China's unfinished sentence, a power Beijing insists is temporary, but Taipei increasingly dares to make permanent.

Until recently, the possibility of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan was a hypothetical debated by war strategists in journals and Pentagon simulations. But lately, Beijing's language has sharpened. Its military posturing has grown more daring. Its warships prowl the Taiwan Stratt like deaths in warning waters. Its fighter jets cross the median line near Taiwan's airspace.

I was interested in how people imagine war and prepare for it while

living their normal, daily lives. How does this tension reshape society? I was surprised to learn that civil defence in Taiwan was more about building trust than strategizing for war. Many of the volunteers I met weren't motivated by military plans. They were learning emergency response skills and getting to know their neighbours because they believed those relationships would matter in any crisis.

One of the biggest reporting challenges was earning people's trust. Our interviews touched on sensitive topics, such as national security, geopolitics and personal fears.

Rather than robbing interviews, I spent time with people before putting them before the camera and returned repeatedly to speak with and photograph them.

Carleton team wants to create a digital twin of Canada

Researchers envision a repository for data on buildings, communities and landscapes across the country

IVAN SEMKINDI SCIENCE REPORTED

“I explore Fai dreams of bulldozing another Canada.”

What he envisions is not a replacement concept but a parallel version of it online. He goal is to provide a repository for all manner of data on buildings, communities and landscapes, which can be updated to reflect changes in the real world. For those who create and manage physical spaces, it is a way of tracking what exists and experimenting with what could be.

Such a creation is known as a digital twin. The term was first named by a NASA engineer in 2010 and then twice those applied to a wide range of structures and systems.

But Dr. Fai, who directs the Carleton Immersion Media Studio at Carleton University in Ottawa, has long had something grander in mind. It’s a kind of virtual Canada that comes loaded with access to public information that users can continue with any new building project or management plan they choose to initiate.

Such a platform, he said, “are include representations of buildings and roads, but it can also include data from sensors, images from cameras, environmental information, and census data – pretty much any kind of information that may be relevant to the problem you are trying to solve.”

This month marks a turning point in the effort to bring this idea to fruition. After years of development, Dr. Fai and his team have released the computer code that allows users to work with the platform, opening the door to what they hope will become a shared national resource. To encourage its adoption, the team has also launched a not-for-profit organization, Collab Digital Twins, that serves as the entry point.

“What we’re anticipating is that some groups who are more tech savvy will download the application and start building on it,” Dr. Fai said. “Where may come to us and say, ‘Can you help us get this going?’”

The idea reflects an international trend. Around the world, data visualization is playing an increasingly important role in the non-and-bolis world of the building sector.

In understand the significance of this, it’s helpful to consider how much has changed since the data when information on buildings and other structures was only stored on paper, in the form of blueprints.

In the sales, computer software began taking over that job, making it possible to represent this information digitally – and to render plans in three dimensions to depict what buildings look like in real space.

Right: Dr. Fai holds top 2-3 in model of the Canadian flag from the Swatch chamber. He founded CMS at Carleton University in 2007, which has a history of working at the crossroads of architecture and digitalization.

More recently, such digital pictures have evolved into sophisticated entities called “building information models,” which carry deep knowledge about a structure’s specific features and functions.

The digital twin concept takes this one step further by connecting a model to streams of data coming from its real-world counterpart. That way, as a building evolves and changes, so too does its digital twin.

Digital twins are already a feature of commercial software used by architects and builders. What the Carleton team has developed is a way for digital twins to co-visit on a shared platform rather than in separate outcomes. The platform is like a virtual canvas, which users can populate with their own assets and creditors, allowing them to work together more easily.

Dr. Fai stressed that the goal is not to replace existing commercial tools with an exclusive new product but to build a common ground where commercial and open source tools can both be used.

img-51.jpeg

Commercial digital twin platforms typically come with hefty licensing fees, Dr. Fai said.

“That leaves out the majority of the people who design, construct, own and operate Canada’s built environment: small and medium enterprises, not-for-profits, total municipalities, heritage institutions and Indigenous communities.”

As an alternative, the Carleton team sought to create a common format where users can continue their own proprietary projects together with public data associated with a given location. That could include geographic details, such as flooding or wildfire data, or municipal data on things like housing and transportation.

“Imagine an architect working in halfway who wants to work on a project in Ottawa, but doesn’t have access to all of the data,” Dr. Fai said.

“They could lag into the twin, download, storing information, Statistics Canada information, and then optical their own model into that specific groupular location.”

As the platform was taking shape, the Carleton team worked with the buildings of their own university campus as a proving ground. The results offer a concrete example of how a digital twin could be used by those who manage large public spaces.

In a proposal to the university’s facility, management and planning department, the team showed how the platform enables real-time monitoring of energy, water consumption, occupancy, parking, protection and vehicular circulation, among other variables. It also provides a common reference to check if construction projects, at any scale, match the university’s master plan.

To keep information secure, each version or “instance” of the digital twin is unique to every user or group.

Lara Coeur, the Carleton minders associate director, said this addresses another issue with relying on commercial software. It typically involves data storage that is not within Canada.

“What makes us different is that we’re a fully sovereign solution,” she said.

The Carleton studio, which Dr. Fai founded in 2007, has a history of working at the crossroads of architecture and digitalization for example, is said, the group conducted detailed laser and optical scans of the Centre Block and library on Parliament Hill in Ottawa ahead of restoration work on these buildings.

The idea for a digital twin of Canada grew out of this work and other projects with various partners in both urban and urban settings. International efforts, particularly in Britain, which has its own national digital twin program, also influenced the Carleton team’s vision.

In Canada, the group has received support from the National Research Council, through a program to improve innovation in the construction sector.

Harold Isherl, a research officer at the NBC and collaborator with the Carleton team said that developing and releasing the platform is an important step “because it makes digitalization visible and testable, not just theoretical.”

The challenge, he said, is making digital twin and approaches attractive is a sector that has been traditionally resistant to change. Part of the issue is that owners are often not aware of the data they can have access to about their own properties so how to use it to optimize maintenance across the life cycle of a building.

A big test of the Carleton group’s other will come to the west phase of their collaboration with the federal government when a version of the platform is set to be deployed by the Department of National Defence for keeping track of some 22,000/non-classified built assets across the country.

It’s a good start for showing

the utility of the approach.

“You need to do some foundational things,” said Isher. But who leads digitalization efforts for the defence department, said I think the Carleton platform really enables that.”

Mr. Isherl is also president of the Canadian chapter of buildingSMART, a global organization that seeks to promote the adoption and standardization of digital methods in the building sector. Last year, the Carleton team’s platform won an international award from buildingSMART – a first for any Canadian group.

Now that others can work with the platform, the priority is to develop practical applications that demonstrate its value. Dr. Fai said many potential users both inside and outside Canada are looking at the platform. Some are outside the traditional building sector, such as epidemiologists who see the platform as a way to potentially model the spread of airborne infections through building HVAC systems.

Later this summer the team aims to release a more accessible visual demonstration of the platform so that people can see better how they may put it to see.

“It’s not just putting code out there, it’s creating an ecosystem,” said Nicolas Arellano, who is president of the 2nd-for-profit, said whose PhD work at Carleton was based on developing the platform.

“We have a road map, a vision of how to make this something valuable for people,” he said. “But then this thing is going to evolve in ways that we have no way to predict, so that’s going to be interesting.”

Sacred meteorite set to be returned

Oral histories of Cree, Blackfoot and Dene peoples memorialize the Manitou Stone

JESSE WHITSE

The farthof would have lit up the skies as it stranded over potentially infertile and characteristic visible for hundreds of kilometres in every direction. The toxic boom if likely created has been discussed in the stratosphere. But the fact that the great herds of bloom, and announced the arrival of a sacred,idential body as old as time itself.

Nobody knows the one exactly when the Manitou Stone meteorite crashed in his life. He is the northwestern teacher of the Canadian Prairies, but the real histories of Cree, Blackfoot and Dene peoples memorialized.

In June when the Creative Act was brought here to help two people's road Wally Fox, a Cree knowledge harper and former chief of the Orilous Lake Cree's house.

The motor's arrival gave the age placed it at the intersection of Cree and Blackfoot territories, near present-day Hanley. And the carer was so well known even Dene people from farther north were known to venture south to visit the stone, for those who witnessed it, the moment was a message from the creator, a message of peace.

The carer's arrival had been straty between the Cree and the Blackfoot. Mr. Fox said, According to legend, as word of the stone capital, members of the nation came to gather where it did. Violence at the job was forbidden. Mr. Fox explained, from ended, and shared traditions began. The sin because control to the spirituality of all three nations, Mr. Fox said.

As all three began to become more frequently at the stone, they started to work more twenty together, to trade with and support one another. Mr. Fox said

Federal Environment Minister Julie Dabruan, right, and Elder Leonard Wessel Traveller of the Manitou An(n)relection Tea for Cree's steps on NOD to establish a permanent home for the Manitou Stone.

The Manitou Stone was central to all of it.

But promotions after the stone fell to Earth. It would up on a different journey of more than a century. After being taken by a individual missionary from its leading place to Ontario, and then later, from monolithic museums, a new agreement has opened the door to placing the Cree an Alberta cemetery where the Tree Nations have shown it is still sacred care have access to it.

The Manitou Stone is known by many names: Manitou An(n)re, Cree and Cree (from Cree, Hanley Operating Machine House) in Blackfoot, and Tea Society among God-Desert in Dene.

It isn't actually made of stone at all but iron. It's a meteorite, almost a motor wide and weighing its configuration, to extend, rounded exterior the result of nothing from the incredible heat generated as it crashed through the atmosphere. It is shaped - in the eyes of stone - like the head of a bloom. It is about four billion years old, roughly equal to age to the Earth itself.

According to USC astronomy professor Aaron Boisy, it likely crashed to Earth up and of what is known as a 'Noble' event then, sands of years ago. The vast majority of shooting stars that people see at the night do are tiny specks of space dust weighing a

gram or less falling through the atmosphere. Dr. Boisy explained: Anything up to about to continents to diameter from up long before it reaches the Earth, creating the streaks of light that we see.

When meteors reach about a metre in size, they don't burn up. They often create bright foothills that break across the sky and crack past as they reach the stratosphere, roughly as kilometers above Earth, scattering their leftover pieces across a wide area. Very large exploding meteors - called bodies events - can sometimes create toxic booms interest enough to shatter glass.

Bodies events themselves are not astonishingly rare. Dr. Boisy said they occur about once every week or two.

But a meteorite the size of Manitou An(n)re is quite rare. For one to have been witnessed as it fell in even more unlikely. Of the roughly 1,500 witnessed meteorite falls in all of human history, only six have been iron meteorites larger than eco kilograms.

Given its size, Manitou An(n)re was likely part of a very rigidly and boldly event. Dr. Boisy said, which helped connote his arrival in the end histories of so many Indigenous peoples who witnessed it.

'This is something that has been part of humanity since

humanity existed, has formed parts of our cultures around the world, and has produced meaning in different ways,' he said. 'If you hold one of these rocks, you're holding one of the others things you could possibly hold.'

After a tumble, it's believed the Manitou Stone was placed on a nearby hilltop, where it sat for centuries and was resucended as a sacred stone at a living house.

In 1804, the Manitou Stone was taken by a Methodist missionary named George McDougall, and eventually moved to the alma mater, a Methodist college in the U.S. City, which became part of the University of Toronto.

For Mr. Fox, the stone's removal marked the beginning of a long, dark chapter in his peoples' history. According to prophecy, if the stone were ever moved from its homestead location, then war, famine and death would follow, she said.

The elders explained to me that they saw a stone that first Nations people are going to go through in early hardships because that rock was taken,' he said.

After the theft, the buffalo, which many believed were protected by the stone, were hunted in extinction by settlers. Communities began to starve, and war returned between the Blackfoot and the Cree. Mr. Fox said. The hardships have continued since.

A virtually the stone was displayed at the Royal Athena Museum in Toronto. In 1975, it was placed on long terms loan at the Royal Athens Museum in Edmonton and moved closer to its original home.

In the early years, the museum undertook consultation with 35 First Nations residents and educational, hoping to find a consensus on where the stone should eventually be placed to make it more accessible to the nations for whom it is for noble survival power.

In 1996, with the release of birth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action, renewed emphasis was placed on returning the stone to the land it came from. It was also the year. Mr. Fox

first saw the stone himself, at a public gallery at the Royal Athens Museum. He laid his hands on it and said he heard it speak in the native Cree language.

'It said, 'Grandson, help me take me home. I want to go home.'

But the hilltop in Hanley's where it had sat for generations is now surrounded by farmland. The once-plentiful bloom the stone represented in Blackfoot roughly are gone, and resulting a pneumonia on where to move the stone proved hard to have expected.

Mr. Fox worked with Blaine Level, former chief of the Poundmaker Cree Nation and former Grand Chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, along with Othami Elder Leonard Wessel Traveller and others to help find a solution.

In 1975, the Manitou An(n)re-ldism Tea State (MAITA) Centre was born, a non-profit organization dedicated to the return of the Manitou Stone.

Years of more negotiations followed, and on July 15, 2016 Canada signed a memorandum of understanding with MAITA, setting the stage for an eventual interpretive centre on a former golf course at Eli Island National Park, outside Edmonton.

There are other hurdles still to cross. The agreement only shows for the eventual creation of the centre, but doesn't include any bonding. The MAITA found it hopeful the habitat and Alberta governments will help cover the costs of holding the centre and running it. The round is fundraising. There will be more negotiations.

But for Mr. Fox, the eventual outcome of its question.

'When you ask for purpose from the Creative Mother Earth and the spirit helpers, they will not answer you so your timeline,' he said. 'They will answer you when they feel it's time for you to be able to receive the present work.'

The star language, the Cree word is aikmanpema, which means perversion. Don't ever give up.'

Russia and Ukraine exchange deadly attacks

ILLIA REFINERY CTEE | URBANIS

A Russian attack on a site near Kyiv that was leading a defense industry event killed at least 10 people and wounded nearly 100 others, according to Ukrainian government and industry officials.

The ballistic missile strike came a day after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky met its Kyiv with senior representatives of Karibenn, the U.S. computer base maker the Patriot as evidence systems Ukraine desperately needs to counter the devastating ballistic missiles Russia now to advance its invasion. Karibenn is a state's immediately targeted to an e-mail targeting whether any of its workers were at the event.

'Missiles for Patriot systems are the number one priority,' Mr. Zelensky said in social media where he reported the attack.

The attack hit the grounds of a national, opposed military training

ing site that was hosting an event, acting regional military administration head Ruslan Ofernyk wrote on Facebook, citing preliminary information. The site is about as to sy kilometers from central Kyiv, in the Bucha district.

Emergency crews responded to the area, where 17 homes and 14 vehicles were also damaged, Mr. Ofernyk said.

The Ukrainian Defence Industry Council, which described itself as the country's largest association of private and private manufacturers, said industry representatives were at the site when it was hit, although it did not immediately provide further details.

Ruslan Kravchenko, the country's protection general, opposed a war crimes investigation into the attack and a separate criminal case over possible negligence in organizing the event.

Investigators will examine who approved his location, timing and format, and whether adequate precautions were taken, Mr. Kravchenko said.

The Ukrainian government imposed reporting restrictions on the attack.

Meanwhile, a Ukrainian attack on a military plant in Russia killed six people and wounded 20 others. He regional governor said.

DELENSKY MEETS WITH VOLLESTATION FROM U.S. COMPANY BAPTISTON

The Karibenn meeting came less than three weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to give Ukraine a license to produce BAPTISTON. The pledge marked an important shift, as Trump recalls to adopted a more positive tone toward Mr. Zelensky.

In another sign that Ukraine is changing minds in Washington, evident Trump (By I am)'s London news with Mr. Zelensky in Kyiv on Thursday. After years of minimizing the invasion, the rebuked Russian President Tolstoic Putin for months' attacks on Ukraine.

The Ukrainian rebuker said late Thursday that he held talks with J. Karibenn delugeous, adding that the company was ready to solidify produce Patriot interests from the Ukraine. The system is composed of radars, command-and-control systems, and different types of intercepted missiles.

Smoke billows into the sky by the St. Isaac's Cathedral after Ukrainian drone strikes on warehouses of Russia's online retailer Wildberries in St. Petersburg on Friday, 11/27, USA

The company made a certain share contract about the meeting on its website or social media accounts.

'Our teams - both at the government level and from the private sector - will stay in close touch to work [a] out.' Mr. Zelensky said on social media.

Mr. Zelensky is keen to move quickly on a co-production agreement as Russia relentlessly fires ballistic missiles that are hard to stop and cause civilian casualties as well as inflicting huge damage on civilian areas.

Mr. Zelensky has for several years been pleading for more and quicker Patriot deliveries from Western partners. Ukraine has developed its own innovative and defensive, but large-scale production is vital.

Even so, experts and Kyiv officials have cautioned that setting up production in Ukraine would likely take years.

URBANS WITS ANOTHER HUB OF RUSSIA'S RUSSIA? DROAN RETAILER

When the Trump administration engaged in a diplomatic effort to end the war last year, Mr. Putin portrayed Russia as negotiating from a position of strength. The peace efforts have produced no

results to end.

But since first attacking its neighbour to Asia, Russia has captured only around to per cent of the country.

The situation and a new chance is adding due to Ukraine's successful frontline and solid and large range attacks using central edge-based technology it has developed at home and that is now covered by other countries, western officials and so on.

Ukraine has expanded its campaign of disruption with bigger and increasingly frequent drone attacks inside Russia that are hitting high-profile targets, causing fuel shortages and piling pressure on the Putin.

Ukrainian forces again targeted the logistical chain of Wildberries, Russia's biggest online retailer that is often compared to Amazon, the company's hospital said Friday.

Brandele Tatyana Eton said Wildberries logistical facilities came under attack in St. Petersburg, the adjacent ecological region and in limferapok - a city in illegally entered Crimea.

Punica and videos published by Russian media showed massive plumes of smoke rising over St. Petersburg.

Ukraine struck four other Wildberries warehouses across Russia in recent days, sparking massive fires.

Russia in recent days, sparking massive fires.

Kyiv officials want ordinary Russians to feel the consequences of the war and questions of the war, and want to say about an local front side. The almost daily attacks have caused consternation in Russia.

URBANS REETS TUBESTINE RUSSIAH OIL FACILITIES, WEATHER PLANTS

Ukrainian, long-range weapons hit an oil facility nearly 1,200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, as well as a military plant, Mr. Zelensky said Friday.

The plant in Russia's Kyiv region makes components for aircraft and missiles need in attacks on Ukrainian cities, he said.

The Ukrainian attack on the military plant killed six people and wounded 20 others, regional governor. Alexander Nikolev said. He didn't identify the plant, but heats online news outlet said it was the index plant, which makes an defence missiles and aircraft components.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported Friday that he set air-houses shot above 170 Ukrainian drones overnight.

A small part of the bigger picture

William Fichtner, one of Hollywood's most sought-after character actors, relishes his tiny but significant role in Canadian sci-fi drama The Outer Threat

BARRY HERTZ C. KAREN THORPE

William Fichtner is known for playing difficult ones, large-edged tough guys who can all too convincingly occupy either side of the coin and robbers droids. Think of his dirty money harder to find, his relentless FBI agent in Penn Road, or his shitty cup of. Go the one of Fichtner's earliest and most affecting only was in the top: Robert Deneckle sci-fi drama Contact, in which he played a sensitive, blind astrophysic who dedicated his life to searching the stars his extraterrestrial life.

It is tempting to draw a throngsline from that performance in Contact straight to Fichtner's latest turn in the new Canadian sci-fi drama The Outer Threat from first-time filmmaker William Woods – another movie about humans looking for group that we are not alone in this universe.

This time around, the actor and a widower paid multiple consecutive names' tons, who have paring encounter with a pair of married astrophysicists (played by Mark O'Brien and Constance Wu) who just might have discovered the existence of Rama. We'd was not Contact and The Outer Threat's twinned themes of inter-stellar existentialism that initially drew Fichtner's interest.

'The connection wasn't there in, you know, that cosmos sort of way, but more in the feeling of being alone,' Fichtner said during an interview in Toronto this week. 'My big discovery working on Contact was my one hour a day with a hundred in my apartment. You think you know a place until this feeling of being alone comes along – the power of being this team and William character who can't take things for granted, and it's a whole different thing to experience, and in this film, him's at a moment in his life where you know, boy, he's alone right now. I know, all in the room with his grandkids, and what call it he going to make?'

Over the past three decades, Fichtner has undoubtedly made one right call after another.

After making a name for himself in the 1960's 'create' series, the Buffalo noteer made the long to L.A. in the mid-Atlantic and quickly became one of the film industry's most sought-after characters. He was a well-wishled, well-inclined, well-introduced by Steven Sodomoglu, Ridley Scott, Kathryn Bigelow, Michael Mann, Christopher Nolan – while maintaining enough scanties to become a couple of the small scenes streaming on, too. (That was him correcting Oscar Isaac during the new season of Netflix's Bute, just as he's now involved in the least disheartenance of Apple TV's Luck's).

Partly, it is that workaholic drive that led him to North Bay,

1961, two summers ago in about a few days on The Outer Threat, which offers the actor a juicy role, though not a particularly large one. Isn't a appearance, while crucially the film's narrative and thematic elements, takes up just about 10 minutes of screen time. But Fichtner says that, above all, more important than the size of the role is the shape and depth of the screenplay. He turns down for more parts than he accepts, and if he doesn't think the role is there 'on the page, it ain't on the stage.'

'It's interesting that we can get a character like Sam. I want to understand the bigger picture of everything that's going on in the world around him, but maybe the bigger picture isn't about this character's journey. So I tend to turn in more in that time what he does know, to order to play the part,' Fichtner says. 'It's more important to think about the moment. That's the emotional journey, which I need to believe more than anything.'

Writer-directed Woods, who has a long history as a producer in

the Canadian film landscape (from the anti-thriller More Dreams to the 2020 comedy The Kid director in the 2022 global drama The Ring Tide), long had Fichtner on his work for for Lung, but he didn't think it would come to fruition, given how relatively small the production was compared with the actor's usual gigs.

'Being able to cast Bill was too good to even imagine. He can be warm and irritating but also intimidating and have that emotional heartbreak. He what he needs to do in difficult situations,' says Woods, who connected with Fichtner through his long-time friend, the talent manager and producer Dan Spriggs. 'It's a small film and a role that only needs a couple of stars, but Bill fought for the integrity of the scene and was a champion of making it all happen. I give him all the credit in the world for giving me the chance and reading it.'

'Will sent me a letter and it said, 'Go fatten!' and I'm like, hell, I love this guy?' Fichtner

adds with a laugh. 'Let's go ahead!'

In terms of Fichtner's process, whether on the stage set of a Michael Ray Blackwater or in the woods of Northern Ontario, News isn't exactly one. 'I don't worry about the delivery part. It's what I written, what the character talks about. I really believe what I am's saying he has own heart and soul, and having these words to say, that's wonderful. That just helps me figure things out in real time,' he says.

'This is more than I've ever talked about it. I was a common justice major in college and was an improv class, and had a very influential teacher who encouraged me to do more of this. But I was always an intimidation by the language of a all. You know, brother and 'scholars' – it's always seemed to me bigger than me.'

Not that the actor shrinks from larger than the challenges. In 2017, Fichtner made his directorial debut with the drama Oak Book, which he overserved in alongside his best friend, the Can

adian actor Kira Coates, the two having met nearly two decades earlier while making Black Hawk down.

'A couple of years after that went to first-strik, I turned working on a new one that's based on a true story, this coming-of-age story from the mid-Year to a small town south of Buffalo. I got close to making it a couple years ago, but the Hawksands left out at the rich hour,' Fichtner recalls.

'My new target is next summer. As Will said, like at things needed to come together at the same time to make his movie. I need a jetting. So we'll not, but it's how I'd want to spend my summer vacation.'

One project Fichtner likely wasn't in being up to a role in Mann's much-anticipated sequel to Hust, given that his character hit the dust in the first film, but that won't stop the actor from happily smiling down memory late.

'Michael was super loud, and that movie was like one of two big films I ever worked on that total, which work in educator. It was with Robert on Contact, and Michael on Hust. You went into his office every day and you'd sit down with just a flight of the Niro, and you all had to come in because Michael was at his desk, and he wants to hear the scene and it specific about every single thing,' he recalls. Before jumping into just one more anecdote for the road.

'On the first day of phoning a play, we had a 9 a.m. call time, so you think you're going to wrap at a new, maybe right o'clock. It's now is, and I went over to Michael and asked, 'No. Again, is there something else you'll like me to try with the play.' 'It's take all. He's like, 'Call me Michael. And no no, no, no get it on the first few takes. But let's go again.'

The Globe Threat' is now playing in Houston.

McMichael overhaul comes amid Vaughan's focus on arts

LANA HALL

By the McMichael Canadian Sci-Fi Collection in Vaughan, Ont., will close on Sunday until 2020 as the gallery undertakes its most substantial renovation entry only.

The estimated $10,000,000 overhead will not the development of additional exhibition, programming and studio space, at similar distance, and firing the facility up to our euro-carbon operating standards. Thomas Bused (Joint Foreman) architects will handle the revitalization in the area.

The McMichael occupies 40 hectares on the Inlandic River in the village of Kimbong – just north of Toronto. The gallery is working to formalize its role in Vaughan's arts and cultural landscape. In June, 2015, the City of Vaughan, Ontario, was the first place in the Vaughan International Film Festival (YFF) signed a memorandum of understanding to advance the city's arts, culture and creative industries. The gallery will be hoped that partnership would help attract creative talent, provide training, and offer educa-

tional, event and exhibition opportunities across the city.

Central to the MOU was the work of the McMichael Canadian Sci-Fi Collection, which Raphael Costa, City of Vaughan director of economic development, calls a 'fantastic anchor' to Vaughan's arts and culture landscape. The institution brought more than 100,000 visitors to the city during the 2024-2025 year.

'To not just a slogan, they're home to the art of Canada,' Costa says.

Costa acknowledges that the McMichael has a different range market than some of Vaughan's other attractions, such as Canada's Wonderland or the Vaughan Hills outlet mall. He says the city is trying to 'fill the gap' with other initiatives for residents and tourists who would otherwise visit the gallery in time on its exhibition or public gardens. These initiatives include a city-sponsored public art program, and the VFF and Italian Contemporary Film Festival, which are typically held in June and July. Costa says the city was aware of the gallery's renovation plans and the resulting closure when they initially signed

the MOU.

Meanwhile, the approximately 75 small businesses in Kimbong Village often rely on the gallery's visitors, who are more likely to stop at local restaurants, coffee shops or retail stores before or after visiting the gallery. 'A closure of the McMichael would likely have some impact on visitor traffic, particularly for businesses that benefit most directly from people coming into the village for a day trip to cultural outing,' says Kimbong Business Improvement Area president Susan Wipacell, who has sworn and operates Kimbong Integrated Health.

'The hope is always that visitors coming for one destination will spend time exploring the broader community as well,' says Wipacell. 'All businesses benefit indirectly when there is more overall awareness of Kimbong and increased foot traffic in the village.'

Still, Wipacell says most businesses are not bracing for a 'dynamic impact' in tourism decline, though she acknowledges that those relying on casual foot traffic rather than repeat customers may be more affected. She is

hoped the McMichael's temporary programming efforts within the community will help bridge the gap before the gallery's renovations are complete.

From the McMichael's stand-point, the renovations are long overdue. Originally the private home of collectors Robert and Signe McMichael, the property and the couple's corresponding way at work – was donated to the Province of Ontario in 2009. Today the McMichael houses nearly $2,000 artworks by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven and their core temporaries, Indigenous artists, and artists from many diaspora communities across country. The gallery is the only major museum in feature exclusively Canadian art. But the original memorandum building with its low roof view is in the need of more space to showcase its growing arts education and host additional public programming.

The expansion is being funded in part by $50-million from the Government of Ontario and $25-million from the Government of Canada's Centre and Inclusive Community Buildings program. In the absence of an operation-

al building, the gallery will continue a series of in training exhibitions to venues across the country. These include multimedia artist Rajat Perera's exhibition features, which will make maps in Toronto and Kumbong, B.C., and the Latimer's photography in the The True Hunters, which will be featured at galleries in Kelowna, B.C., Red Deer, Alta., and Whitehorse. According to gallery leadership, a series of office exhibitions is under development elsewhere in York Region in Ontario, although details have yet to be released.

'The McMichael has always extended well beyond the gallery's walls,' says Grace Johnstone, director of communications, marketing and sales.

For Wipacell of the BIA, the potential associated with a larger, more connected McMichael Canadian Sci-Fi Collection is worth the interim growing point.

'No are also focused on the long-term benefit of having a world-class museum in Kelowbong, and the attention, cultural tourism and regional visibility that will bring once the renovation is complete.'

Ontario's approach to fighting wildfires up north

Kampaging Blazes have reignited debate on how the province mobilizes resources to deal with the threat

JEFF CARY

QUICKLY NIGHT REPRINTER

The campaign wildfires in Northern Ontario (SA) forced several First Nations communities to fire and blanketed the province and beyond its contusion enough smoke have reignited debate on whether the province is doing enough to address the threat.

First Nations chiefs and Opposition NDP Leader Matt Hales have called for a public inquiry into Ontario's wildfire response, since the month 26 (on 27), The Ontario government counters that it does an internal review every year.) Mr. Hales says the provincial government has long failed to spend enough. About 1997 A2F blazes 5, in an open letter this week to Mr. Ford, has called for a 1920-million boost to the wildfire budget.

Officials with Hales'580, however, Employees Union, while represents 100 dilated firefighters, say they remain underpaid, understaffed and underoccupied despite years of earnings about the need for a long time to fire the province and better conditions resulting from climate change.

Mr. Ford has called the criticism "despicable and disgusting," while vowing that he would spend whatever it takes to combat the flames.

ONTARIO'S BASE BUDGET FOR WILSHIRE AND MERIDIAN'S

Opposition leaders and union officials say Ontario's 2020-20 base budget of 6.92-million for wildland firefighting, while 2020 from 8.50-million for just before, is still inadequate. They point to the actual amount spent fighting the province 2020 and for six 2020-20, which was much higher at $170-million.

But this practice of starting with a base budget and allocating more money at $100, depending on the severity of the season, is not new, or unique to Ontario.

Mr. Ford has pointed out that his government has increased that base budget significantly from the $75-million a year set to 2020 by the preceding (liberal government plan) that has done so gradually, at no training the budget at that level after taking office in 2020.

NATION SAYS ONTARIO IS SHORT WILDLAND PREFICIENTER

While Mr. Ford recently has said the province had done to face 40 500 wildland firefighters, John Bradley, a policeman for Natural Resources Minister Mike Harris, said Friday the actual figure fluctuates for 10 at least two months, with personnel dotted into 190 crews. Mr. Harris was not made available for an interview.

The union representing these workers is adamantee that this number is too low.

South Freedman, vice-president of the Ontario White Service Employees Union (NAC) 773 and a 40-year veteran of the province's wildland fire service, said the government's annual provision of around 350 crews, which he said have been to set firefighters each, is far below the 2020 fire province said to have to decade past.

He points out that these teams, stationed at regional fire headquarters, spread across Northern Ontario, are indeed with protesting an area twice the size of France, (As of Thursday, the province said) it had no active forest fires - down from the nearly 200 that were burning two weeks ago.)

Ontario's fire plan is central on rapidly depleting these small crews to put out blazes when the 2020-20 total firefighting season is possible after they are fire spotted, Mr. Freedman said. With more crews, more of the massive blazes that erupted this month could have been contained earlier, he argues.

"These fires should have never been allowed to put to where they did," Mr. Freedman said. "We could have put them out." He also says a finger base budget would allow the most prominent staff, both to retain more common firefighters and to do more preventative work in the off-season.

He points to internal government warning dating back more than a decade about prior pay and a crisis in retention. This workforce is mostly essential, often made up of matches. Mr. Freedman said the increasing use of six-person crews is a machine for a shortage of veterans, who must be spread among less experienced firefighters.

In an email, Mr. Bradley said the government does not agree with the union that it needs 200 crews, adding that additional firefighters can be brought in from other jurisdictions: "Ontario does not have a large budget of crews, to suggest otherwise a false. Expected, additional capacity can be supplemented through established mutual aid and contracts as operational models evolve."

The province can call on private contractors to provide an additional crews

made up of 500 personnel, Mr. Bradley said.

He also said the government has taken action to boost pay and attract and retain its own wildland firefighter staff, adding more than 170 permanent positions since 1974, including an unspecified number of full-time crew leaders, and Ontario has also increased compensation "for our horses, front-line firefighters and pilots," he said.

It's not enough, Mr. Freedman argues, stating that OPBSI had been pushing for changes for years. He said he made 834 an hour as a crew leader last year, after 10 years on the job. "They essentially gave everybody a couple-of-dollars an-hour raise, pulled themselves on the back and said they tried the problem."

GOLFTOWN ARGOT NUMBER OF HELICOPTERS, WATERBROWNERS

It's not just a shortage of personnel, Mr. Freedman says. He warns that Ontario also suffers from a shortage of fire-treatment-sized helicopters (he enough to deposit a four-to-six-person crew and their 1,000 pounds of gear at a remote fire site. Mr. Freedman says the province failed to sign a new long-term deal with a private contractor for standby helicopters of this size for this season.

This means, Mr. Freedman charges, that Ontario must rely on shorter-term rental contracts that he expects will be more expensive. Plus, he said, the province may more often have to use smaller "intermediate" helicopters, which require two trips to transport a full crew of firefighters and their gear. This can cause delays that allow small fires to grow, he says.

Mr. Bradley said Ontario had more than 220 aircraft available, including its helicopters and 16 waterborders - numbers that include the province's own first plus vehicles from private contractors and those on loan from other governments.

He did not directly address the helicopter contract issue. But the government's tally includes seven privately contracted

medium-sized helicopters, with a contract for another one still in the fatalities. Free more such aircraft are on loan from Alberta and the federal government. Mr. Freedman argues this is still not enough.

The union leader also said that as many as three of Ontario's own nine large waterborders planes have been grounded for repairs, An internal Ministry of Natural Resources report from June 28, obtained by the union, him just five of a total of six Canada's (2, 415 waterborders, known as "super scoopers," as available that day.

However, the aircraft totals that the government initially provided through e-mail the Ontario's entire fleet of nine (3, 4, 5) heavy water borders.

Asked to clarify the discrepancy, Mr. Bradley said on Friday that seven of the planes were active, but that two were indeed grounded for "urgent repairs." He said all nine had plans assigned and that the government hoped the two additional aircraft would be up and running "as soon as possible."

His e-mail also pointed to the province's previous announcement of 1920-million to add six new waterborders and five new helicopters to the province's (the new waterborders are not expected to be ready for years.

OFFSETS SAY MORE PREVENTION IS NEEDED

The union and opposition critics say a higher base budget could allow for more staff for preventative measures outside of the season, such as the practice of "prescribed barns."

Experts say these fires, deliberately set in a controlled way to reduce the amount of shadowed and fuel in a forest that could ignite, can indeed help protect communities and reduce the severity of fires.

Not most acknowledge that despite the recent admonition of U.S. President Donald Trump, this kind of forest management is not practical deep inside much of the vast remote wilderness in Ontario's north.

Brigitte Lefden, dean of natural resources management at Lakehead University in Thursdays, has said Ontario needs to do more prescribed barns, especially as climate change worsens fire season and pushes past the province's ability to fight fires after they start.

"The best thing is doing more prevention, and prevention creates fire-resilient forests," Mr. Lefden said in an interview.

The EC government, in an annual report on prescribed and "contract" barns done in partnership with First Nations, said it burned more than 6,200 hectares in 2015.

Mr. Bradley said Ontario spends $5-million a year on its FireSmart prevention program, which includes prescribed barns, but he did not provide a figure in hectares.

According to Ontario's website, it had 15 prescribed barns projects made 3,4 by a prime northern areas scheduled for 2020, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 partnership with First Nations. While many listed do not include the number of facilities targeted, those for which numbers are provided range from a handful to 544.

UAE reaches trade deal with Canada, eyes investments in energy sector

JAMES BRADSHAW

INSTITUTIONAL INVESTING REPORTER

The United Arab Emirates expects to announce investments in Canada's energy sector "very soon," its Foreign Trade Minister said Friday at a signing ceremony marking the conclusion of negotiations on a free-trade deal between the two countries. Canada's Minister of International Trade, Mystander Sallus, and UAE Minister of Foreign Trade Thani bin Ahmad Al Zeyoudi met at Toronto's Four Seasons Hotel to announce that they have reached a comprehensive economic partnership agreement (CEPA) after several rounds of accelerated talks.

Leaders from the two countries agreed to negotiate a CEPA when Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Abu Dhabi in November last year.

The CEPA is intended to cut tariffs, remove trade barriers and expand market access to the UAE for Canadian exporters. The agreement still has to go through legal review, a final signing and ratification before it comes into force.

Canada's expanding relationship with the UAE is an early fitness test for Mr. Carney's attempts to attract more foreign investments, and to expand trade relationships abroad to reduce reliance on the United States.

How Trump's erratic trade policies make it harder for Americans to buy a home

President Donald Trump wants to lower U.S. home prices. His trade policies are continually making that harder to achieve.

During his second term, Mr. Trump has imposed tariffs on a slew of materials and products used in the construction, renovation and

furnishing of homes. Just this week, he proposed 30-year-cent duties on US$16-billion worth of Canadian products, including plywood, doors and cement, set to take effect on Aug. 16.

Combined with existing tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber and those targeting furniture manufacturers, the White House is making it considerably more expensive to build – and maintain – a home, at a

time of already waning affordability. And it goes beyond trade policy. The recent flare-up of violence in the U.S. trias war is putting pressure on the bond market, adding to borrowing costs for American homebuyers.

"America has a problem: We have a shortage of housing," said Atalman Bano, chief economist at the Associated Builders and Contractors, a national U.S. trade association.

Hoping to take your portfolio on a flight to safety? Be prepared to pay a premium fare

Safety has rarely been so expensive in the stock market. Which has to make you wonder if supposedly safe stocks are now all that safe after all.

Canadian bank stocks offer a case in point. As Fox Gems's piano Kirby pointed out this week, this country's

dominant financial institutions are suddenly trading at historically lavish price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples. For much of the past two decades, their shares fetched somewhere between 10 and 12 times earnings. Now they are changing hands at P/E ratios of 14 to 18 times.

This does not make a lot of obvious sense. A company's P/E multiple typically shoots up if its growth outlook suddenly brightens to it its risk plummets. Neither holds true here.

Indeed, you can argue that Canada's big banks should be trading at lower, not higher multiples, given what is happening in their key domestic market. Canada's population has declined in recent quarters. Home prices are slipping. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump is waging a trade war against what he loves to call the just state. All those factors would seem to be negatives for Canada's big lenders.

'Brady Bunch' rides to remember son, raise money

Family, community have raised more than $155,000 for the Saugoren Shores Hospital Foundation

The pitch: Raising Inquirer and climbing

The cause: Saugoren Shores Hospital Foundation

Brady Caley never took life on the ground; his original training people laugh and shouting videos of himself singing in a morning on the family farm. After his profound illness power engineering program at Carrietta College in Isalbert, Brady returned to the farm near Port Elizabeth, Pa., with hope of working at the nearby House Power nuclear station near day. While reading the fields one side to him, even, something happened with a piece of machinery and Brady died. He was in years old.

'It was just a family accident that happened. It was her life, as you can imagine,' recalled Fanny Culey, Brady's mother.

Shortly after the accident, Brady's friends gathered to remember him and handed His Caley and her husband, Jim, a cheaper for his son.

'The Caley's secret' is now what is do with the money. 'We wanted to do something meaningful and so we thought about a bunch of things that Brady liked,' said Ms. Culey. They considered desuding the money. They were that Brady enjoyed such an snow-bounding, hockey and moneymone. But then they came across the

Trump throws a tariff tantrum because he knows he's weak

JOHN RAPLEY

BY JOHNSON

Contributing columnist for The Globe and Mail. He is an author and academic whose books include Why Empires Fall and Twilight of the Money Gods.

It's hard to know why U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to impose his latest act of tariffs. The reasons he gives often vary or are incoherent. We're still in summer, the astronomers making the background issues of distant galaxies, whether it's a heapsining tuck, a trake strategy, or if it plays or something else altogether.

So, let's try to see this from the vintage point of Washington. What can we infer? Well, for starters, if you look at the exemptions and industries affected, the target list appears to be designed to minimize harm to the American economy, affecting only a per cent of imports, and none whose impact would be widespread, such as energy.

That has been the pattern with other countries that have recently suffered the "truthy" tariff tantrums, such as Brazil. Whatever this reveals about the erage or negotiating tactics, what

it seems to show above all else is an administration that is operating from a position of weakness, and knows it.

Why weakness? Well, we know that with maltrums elections about three months away, the tariffs aren't popular, with seven to 12 Americans saying the levies have led to them paying higher prices. We also know that inflation and the cost of living are the top concerns of American voters as they head into these elections. Inflation should slightly last month, but the resumption of two in the Middle East and the consequent ironic of American gasoline prices above USA, a gallon have required him.

We also know that the benefits to American problems, who are supposedly afforded protection by these tariffs, have been slow to materialize. Manufacturing employment, which had risen during the flukes precluding, has fallen since 90. Young returned to office, before then revive the industrial economy, the principal effect of the tariffs has so far been to raise prices for consumers or, in sectors such as automobiles where the cost of intermediate depots has risen, lower the tariffs. As a result, the job market remains weak and manufacturing employment has been declining. In short, the constitu-

cy backing these tariffs is smaller than that opposing them.

Couple weak surge growth with rising inflation, and we know that red incomes for the average American worker have in the past three months began to decline.

Republicans running for re-election, pressed on whether they support the President's trade war, will have to face Democratic opponents' absence of the financial system that Mr. Trump is lowering their standard of living.

Rising inflation, in turn, is driving up interest rates, which is ensuring the finances of many American homeowners - not least because most new homeowners took on higher, often otherwise unmanageable, mortgages than they expected to come down with the falling interest rates they'd been protected. The financial system, which is not only a different because of the use of the financial system that is not only a different because of the use of the financial system that is not only a different because of the use of the financial system that is not only a different because of the use of the financial system that is not only a different because of the use of the financial system that is not only a different because of the use of the financial system that is not only a different because of the use of the financial system that is not only a different because of the use of the financial system that is not only

BoC ordered a second time to stop rising replacement workers

SAMUELA SUBRAMANIAN REVIEW OF WORK PROOFING

The Bank of Canada has been ordered for the second time this month to stop using replacement workers for its striking security guards, a violation of federal labour laws.

The Canada industrial Business Board issued a ruling against the central bank on July 24, stating that it violated the Canada Labour Code by using the services of a third-party security contractor - Wholesome (containing its investigations) - two weeks after it was told by the board to stop using replacement workers.

In least an security guards represented by PSAC Local 7 (1995) have been on strike since last June, after negotiations broke down over benefits. PSAC and the central bank have been negotiating for a new contract since December, 2014. The language has forced all of the central banks' employees to work from banks.

The use of replacement workers during strikes became it's legal under federal labour law in June, 2015, much to the chagrin of federally regulated employees that had outspagued for years against anti-acid legislation.

Even so, the Bank of Canada appears to be floating the new bank. The CBRB first raised that the bank had violated labour laws on July 7, after it board that it was using contractors from GardaWorld Security to perform work usually done by its own security guards.

Shortly after the ruling, Bank of Canada spokesperson Paul Rasmussen told The Globe and Mail in a statement that the central bank had 'complied fully with the CBR ruling by the deadline,' said that it respects the collective bargaining process.

But representatives from the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the public sector union representing the striking security guards, alleged that the central bank was not complying.

On July 14, PSAC filed a second complaint with the board, saying that it had observed individuals who were not bank employees performing security checks around the perimeter of the Bank of Canada holding in Ottawa.

The July 22 ruling from the CBRB was made after a hearing earlier this week in which both PSAC and the bank gave evidence about the allegations involving the use of third-party security guards. The CBRB's decision states, once again, that the Bank of Canada has all hours to comply with the order.

In a statement to The Globe, Bank of Canada spokesperson Amitie Ferron Craig said that the Bank is disappointed in the CBR's eviction, and that it adhered to the Canada Labour Code and the previous CBR ruling. 'After the first ruling, the Bank took alternative measures to secure the physical security of its facilities,' the Bank is considering all of its legal opinion in response to the CBRB decision. 'The Ferron Craig said, 'We are not a statement issued on Thursday, PSAC called on the Bank of Canada to 'slide by the ruling, stop using such, and come back to the table to negotiate a fair deal.' The nation's regional executive is in president, Both Law MacDonald, had previously told The Globe that it was worker benefits, not wages, that were at the heart of the dispute.'

But Brooke, the president of the Canada Labour Congress - an umbrella union PSAC is affiliated with that represents more than three million workers - called the Bank of Canada's conduct 'inacceptable' and said that it undermined conflict between a Labour relations system.

It is especially troubling that this conduct is coming from the Bank of Canada,' Brooke said in a statement on Thursday. 'As one of Canada's foremost public institutions, Canadian rights regard it to demonstrate respect for the laws passed by the public sector.'

David Downey, a professor of labour law at the University of England, can 'elbeit call there is an exception in the law they permit an employee to raise replacement workers when there is a threat to the employer's provision and there is no other means of protecting them.'

The Bank could not also tamed the idea that by using a different security company (Wholesome instead of Cedar World), it was technically complying with the first order which was about the use of cards security guards, Michael Lynch, associate professor of labour and human rights law at the University of Western Ontario said.

'The way possible is to explain the Bank's actions is that they believed - however implausibly - that there was a loophole or more language in the first Board order which allowed them to continue to use contracted replacement workers during the strike,' he said.

The Court of Justice said that the Bank of Canada now contractors and term the boundaries of a set such law with a new argument of laws itself into its own replacement workers because of the delay in the Board issuing the decision.

cans pay. Republicans running for re-election, pressed on whether they support the President's trade war, will have to face Democratic opponents after the central voters that Mr. Trump is lowering their standard of living.

So, it's a reasonable fact that the White House will be coming under pressure to within three tariffs before long from 27.5% of Trump doesn't care about the fate of his party. In 50 states that a Democratic victory of Congress in November will make his job in the pleasant. The predilection markets currently because a narrow Democratic majority in the Bank of a Representative and a trade union that is work-and-work but could easily be tipped over to the other side by more bad inflation in any a consistent bank in the stock market - which rising interest rates might well prolong.

In the meantime - and the White House won't say this because to do so would be an admission of weakness - the tariffs may not have the desired effect of upsetting the original Canadian exporters to the point that Ottawa rates under. What we know so far is that Canadian in-charity that have been suggested in the 1995-2000 trade war, have proved surprisingly evident. The Canadian government thus may have more scope to

ride out this spot than the U.S. rule.

So, the Trump administration is probably anxious to bring a well established to this issue that will enable the President to claim a victory and say he's ensuring American jobs and bringing prices back down. The tariffs will benefit, therefore, a bargaining gamble.

Nevertheless, there will be limits to Mr. Trump's willingness to compromise. Tariffs have become a defining element of his administration's identity, the center of gravity to U.S. politics has moved to such an absolute level, and investors often resigned themselves to in inevitability, no longer reading for the market's crisis at such tariff announcements. If in tribunal form, tariffs will stay at because they with Thursday announcements of the new tariff regime to be applied to the countries.

With no hope of returning to the status quo ante, compromise will have been inevitable. Both sides have been called Canada because of its vulnerability to the use of the U.S. market. Mr. Trump because of this vulnerability to domestic public opinion and ability must only limit markets. Critically, though, Canada doesn't have the tickling clock of a November election.

MONEY TALKS ON REDDIE

The forum r/PersonalFinanceCanada, where Canadians share grassroots money advice and anonymously spill their biggest money woes and frags, is skyrocketing in popularity

MEERA KARAN

Katherine Wong Tse Yen built up the courage to start posting when she wanted to ask what to do with her first $25,000 in savings. PRED (LOW/THE ELDRE AND MAIL)

KATHERINE WONG TOO YEN (35, TORONTO)

Like a lot of people, when she was in her early 20s, Katherine Wong Too Yen says she found herself in an all-encompassing, "what am I supposed to do with my life?" hasn't. It was the mid 1930's, and she had just printed from sports entertainment to a career in banking. She was excited about her new gig but there was one big problem: She knew nothing about personal finance.

"When you work at a bank, all of your colleagues will know things like what a THA is, what a CIC is. And I had zero knowledge. At the time, it was kind of like, who do I ask?" Ms. Wong says.

So, she did what a lot of people do when they don't want to look clueless. She turned to the internet, that this was before it was easy to privately ask a chat, but such as ChatGPT for under-the-table advice. Instead, she made a Reddit account and joined r/PersonalFinanceCanada, a resource she knew was for learning about money.

At first, she just talked the subreddit (she looked like never contributed) and turned from posts. Then, she built up the courage to start posting herself.

Ms. Wong says she asked what she should do with her first $25,000 in savings when she was 25 years old.

"I remember being really nervous making that post, and kind of being curious about how people would interpret that. But a lot of people were very sympathetic," she says. "The community felt super welcoming. And that's the initial reason why I stuck around for so long."

More than a decade later, Ms. Wong is now a third marketing officer at a U.S.-based firmch company. She credits a lot of her early confidence around money to what she learned on the subreddit.

But now she's a nurse of those in years, the vibe on the subreddit has changed, she says. Instead of remaining a place focused on help with financial literacy, she's noticed it now seems more like a space for people to express their concerns and compare how their financial situations stack up against others' in Canada.

"It does seem like there's been an increase in anxiety," Ms. Wong says. "Admitting a first home. The cost of living, futures not keeping up. That feels more common."

She's also noticed a lot more troll-like posts on the subreddit, where people ap-

pear to inflate their financial situations in an effort to make others feel left behind. Of course, users who make fun of people who post about actually being behind.

"When I initially joined, it was a community that felt safe to post... As the subreddit has grown, you will see more people who are more judgemental. You will have some answers that are more accurate, people who are trolling, and you will see people make posts where you're like, okay, all of this was clearly ChatGPT-generated."

A major attraction for users is the community-driven nature of Reddit. On other social-media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, there's been a proliferation of accounts selling investment schemes and financial products within personal-finance content that people may not even be aware in an advertisement.

Plus, on Reddit, there are moderators for each subreddit who review posts and outline roles for the community, such as bans on soliciting.

"People are not on Reddit necessarily to sell things," says Daniel Richards, an associate professor at York University who specializes in behavioural finance and investment decision-making. "Reddit seems to be more about people just wanting to find out more and share information."

The top conversation topics on the subreddit in 2016 were related to navigating financial hardships such as layoffs and debt; investments strategies and retirement planning; housing affordability and mortgages; economic uncertainties; and financial scams, according to Reddit.

"All part of Reddit's user's awareness, people can ask questions that they would be afraid to ask in person, Mr. Richards says. 'But the flip side of that is, the quality of information you're getting back is hard to know,' he says."

He's right, Of course, in general, most people know they shouldn't take the advice they see on the internet as gospel. But that's especially true for personal-finance advice, which should be told in an individual's specific circumstances. There has been an increase of 10 generated content flooding the subreddit, despite the community rules boosting these types of posts.

University of Victoria student Miller Krisse turned to the forum as a young person seeking guidance on how to manage his money. CHAIN APPOINTS THE ELDRE AND MAIL

MILLER KRISSE (23, VICTORIA)

Miller Krisse, a political-science undergraduate student at the University of Victoria, came to the subreddit on a well-resident path. He was a young person looking for answers for didn't get in school about how to manage his money.

He began paying close attention to personal-finance content after landing a summer job with the KU. Wildlife Service, allowing him to start saving for the first time. Unseen what to do with the extra income, he turned to r/PersonalFinanceCanada for guidance.

Even though anyone can post on Reddit, he noticed that good advice usually prevails. And anyone giving bad advice gets called out quickly by other community members, he says.

"The advice that won't of successful and gets to the top is generally good sound and less polarized, which I think you compare to a platform like TikTok, where a really big percentage of personal-finance content is essentially directly

affiliate promoted content," Mr. Krisse says.

Mr. Krisse says there is a "schaden-head" element to the subreddit, though - meaning many people love to take pleasure in other people's mistakes. If people are posting about their financial misgivings, it's going to get a lot of engagement. Similarly, on the flip side, if someone posts about an absurd amount of money they have, it's going to receive attention.

"It kind of provides the entertainment value that brings people into the subreddit, right?"

For all the good things about Reddit, a big issue is that social comparison aspect.

When it comes to money, people don't want to be like they are behind their peers, says Mr. Richards, the personal-finance professor.

But "Reddit is bringing that to life," he says.

Allison Dubé began talking on the subreddit during the economic uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. She initially wanted to see how others were thinking about their financial decisions at the time, but something she made out to her: how much widespread confusion there was about basic financial concepts.

"I think it's a really interesting reflection of how poor our knowledge of financial issues is in Canada. And it's funny, because I wouldn't say mine was great, but it's definitely better than some people," Ms. Dubé says.

At the same time, she noticed a strong distrust of financial institutions among users, many of whom seemed more comfortable asking strangers for advice rather than turning to banks or advisers.

"I think it reflects kind of our relationship with financial institutions, because we don't view them as a trusted source entirely, because we do recognize that they're selling a product, right?"

A Personal/Finance/Reddit started as a place where everyday people could ask the money questions they might be too embarrassed to bring up in real life.

Over time, it's evolved to become a window into the financial anxieties of Canadians across the country. In mid-July, some trending posts looked at how to navigate a layoff, while others detailed an increase in financial scams targeting Canadians.

Even as more people turn to artificial intelligence for financial advice, the subreddit hasn't lost its relevance.

If anything, it continues to grow, offering something AI can't always provide: a community of people sharing their own experiences, reassurance and hard-earned advice (even if the occasional troll comes with the territory).

TekSavvy, other carriers ask CRTC to lower wholesale internet rates

A coalition of independent providers says the regulator's approved rates make it difficult to compete with larger rivals

SAMMY HUGES

Telecommunications provider TekSavvy is asking the federal regulator to lower the rates that small carriers pay large companies to resell internet over their fibre networks, arguing competition is "impossible" under the current rules.

TekSavvy is part of a coalition of independent internet providers and industry associations that submitted an application to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on Thursday saying it to reconsider the decision it made in April.

At the time, the regulator said these rates would allow dozens of competitors to "continue offering new choices to Canadians while also ensuring companies are compensated fairly for the investments they make to convert Canadians to fibre."

But the group said the CRTC approved "severely inflated" wholesale rates that are higher than the retail fibre internet prices charged by the large carriers.

That hinders the ability of independent providers to compete because they must either authorise or a lower set retail prices higher than the large carriers, they told the regulator.

"Canadians were promised greater competition for fibre internet services, but these rates make competition impossible," said Andy Kaplan-Myrth, TekSavvy's vice-president of regulatory and carrier affairs, in a statement.

"The CRTC must correct these errors to ensure its wholesale rates promote broadband competition that challenges the market power of monopoly to comments, lowers prices, and increases consumer choice."

Along with Chatham, Uric-based TekSavvy, the application was signed by the BC Broadband Association, Canada-Wide Internet Service Providers Association, Fibernetics Inc., HIF Telecom Inc., National

Capital EnceNet Inc., Novus Entertainment Inc. and Purple Cow Internet Inc.

Among other asks, they want the CRTC to reduce a 50 per cent markup applied to wholesale fibre services to 15 per cent, in order to account for declining costs, operational efficiencies and the need to support competition.

CRTC spokesperson Mirabella Salem said in an e-mail that the regulator would examine the application and determine next steps, but declined to comment further.

The CRTC previously said companies such as Bell Canada, Telus, Eastlink and SanStil had made the case for raising the markup above 30 per cent, which has typically been the level set for other wholesale internet services.

Those companies argued a higher rate would reduce risk and allow them to recoup their network investments given the "lengthy" amount of time it can take to do so.

But others such as TekSavvy and the Competitive Network Operators of Canada

img-80.jpeg

wanted a lower markup so that small providers could offer more competitive prices to customers. The CRTC determined that the 30-per-cent benchmark would support "regulatory predictability, consistency, and business continuity."

"The final rates are based on real costs, and enable companies to compete for customers while maintaining incentives to build high-quality networks," CRTC chairperson and chief executive Vicky Eatisides said in an April statement.

The CRTC has faced backlash from both big and small carriers over its wholesale fibre framework, especially because it also allows large companies to resell internet using their rivals' networks outside their core regions.

Bell and Rogers had argued against that clause, saying it discourages the major providers from investing in their own infrastructure, while independent carriers stated concern it would make it more difficult for them to compete against larger players.

PARAMOUNT AGREES TO DELAY CLOSING ON WARNER BROS, BUYOUT WHILE JUDGE CONSIDERS CHALLENGE FROM STATES

Paramount Skydance Corp. on Friday agreed to delay closing its US$16-billion buyout of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. will into next year, as a Judge continues to consider a challenge from a states seeking to block the deal altogether.

In a reset filing, Paramount said it wouldn't close the merger until either a reset ruling is made on the merits of the states' lawsuit or June 1, 2017.

The move arrives just days after U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olpon granted a temporary restraining order to freeze the transaction for several weeks, ruling that the states had raised some "serious questions" and a strong case about the merger's potential to "substantially lessen competition."

Paramount called Friday's agreement a "significant win because the result is exactly what we have sought from the outset: a direct push to a trial based on the evidence."

The company added that this was the "fastest and clearest way" to prove its merger was good for competition and the wider industry.

Twelve states, led by California, used to block Paramount's pending buyout of Warner last month, alleging that such a combination would instead "extinguish competition" in Hollywood and lead to fewer choices for consumers, particularly moviegoers and cable customers.

"From the workers and artists who bring stories to life to the families who buy tickets at the box office, Paramount's illegal takeover of Warner Bros. is a bad deal for all those who count on a competitive entertainment industry," New York Attorney-General Letitia James said Friday.

Ottawa's pharmaceutical-industry task force is urging Health Canada to rely more on the review work of foreign regulators and invest more in health data infrastructure, as part of a suite of recommendations that aim to help Canada navigate geopolitical pressures on the pharmaceutical sector.

The task force, whose more-than-low dosen members are made up mainly in the Canadian heads of patented drug companies, was formed in March to advise the federal government on how to support the industry and ensure access to medication in the midst of developments such as US-Nexico-Canada trade talks.

The task force published its final report on Friday, by the recommendations ran the gained from streamlining regulatory reviews, to harmonising national research-ethics standards as a way to encourage spending on clinical trials, to supporting the development of artificial-intelligence applications in health care.

'The current geopolitical context is creating an urgent need-to-evaluate Canada's industrial and market strategy in the innovative pharmaceuticals and life sciences industry as well as a unique opportunity for Canada to become a global leader in the innovative life sciences industry,' the report says.

The offices of Health Minister Marjorie Michel and Industry Minister Melanie Joly said the government will carefully consider the recommendations.

Innovative Medicines Canada, the main lobby group for patented drug makers, said the report must translate into urgent action.

'The task force's 50 recommendations reflect the breadth of this work, but to turn them into real progress for patients, the federal government must prioritise what matters most

structural reform, an open market that allows both domestic and global companies to flourish, and enhanced federal investment in innovative medicines,' Bertine Hamelin, OIC's chief executive officer, said in a statement.

Michael Law, a pharmaceutical policy researcher and academic director of the Center for Health Policy at the University of Calgary, said the regulatory streamlining makes sense, as Canada has among the most complicated and time-consuming drug-approval pathways in the world.

However, a lot of the suggestions in the task force's report are in areas the federal and provincial governments are already working on.

'There's a lot of movement in the system already,' he said.

For example, the first recommendation to the report is that Health Canada should expand and accelerate the adoption of a framework for relying on the work of trusted foreign regulators.

Health Canada already proposed such a framework in January and, earlier this month, proposed the first drug classes and foreign regulators to be used in the program.

The initial focus will be on veterinary drugs and pediatric medication, with the list of regulators including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency and Australia's Therapeutic Goods

Administration.

The task force report suggests more drugs should be included, such as those treating cancer and vaccines.

It suggests the first such reviews should start by the end of the year.

On the AI investments, the federal government announced in June it would invest up to Euro-million in an Ontario-based health data-initiative called Vital, based at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, and expand it to the rest of Canada.

The task force report recommends Ottawa build on the investment in Vital and the Canadian Institute for Health Information 'to deliver a sovereign post-Canadian data infrastructure enabling real-time interoperable data use and scale, including federated models enabling cross-jurisdictional analysis, integrated data across the full patient journey, and government frameworks allowing responsible private sector participation.'

Among the other recommendations are for Ottawa to establish a late-stage scale-up capital vehicle for life sciences, attract more investment from pension funds and insurers in the sector and create a biotechnology index of publicly traded companies.

The report suggests Ottawa address the recommendations about government bodies within the next three months and work on the industrial and investment policies within nine months.

Canadian National says wildfires, tariffs pose little threat to shipping volumes

CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS MONTREAL

Canadian National Railway Co. executives say wildfires and tariff threats are unlikely to do major damage to shipping volumes this year, after the country's largest railway boat earnings expectations for the quarter and raised financial perspectives for year.

CN said tracks in northwestern Ontario have now reopened after shutting down for more than a week owing to wildfires that force force crew to file on first and traffic to be revealed through the United States.

'Our mainline in Northern Ontario is open at this point, and we currently do not expect a significant impact to our business,' chief operating officer Patrick Whitehead told analysts on a conference call Friday.

On the tariff front, CN's chief executive held out hope that U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff proclamations — a 10-year visit duty on a rail of Canadian goods set to take effect Aug. 19 — would resolve in a 'constructive agreement' between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

'What we've embedded in our guidance as we look forward is a tariff level that looks a lot like what it is right now,' chief executive Tracy Robinson said.

The railway raised its full-year guidance Friday, forecasting mild volume growth versus the British figures predicted six months ago. It also now expects adjusted diluted earnings per share growth in the mid-to-high single digits instead of the low single-digit range.

The most optimistic outlook comes after CN asked in revenue from oil as well as grain and fertilizer shipments in its second quarter.

Revenues soared at per cent year-over-year for petroleum and chemicals and at per cent for grain and fertilizer. The two categories alone accounted for 10 per cent of CN's freight revenues.

The price of petroleum and some fertilizers have spilled since late February amid supply bottlenecks brought on by the Middle East—as which helped push CN's potash volumes to record second-quarter levels. A bumper crop also delivered record shipments of Western grain, the company said.

On Friday, Mr. Robinson addressed a shot that CN struck earlier this week with Union Pacific Corp. that would end the Montreal-based company's opposition to its rival's proposal for a massive merger south of the border.

The agreement would hand CN more network access in the U.S. Midwest to exchange for its tack support of Union Pacific's proposed US$/million acquisition of Norfolk Southern Corp. The settlement is contingent on the merger's approval by American regulators.

'We've been talking a lot about the need for more competition,' Mr. Robinson said. 'So as we've come to this agreement, we are satisfied that we've mitigated much of that concern.'

'We won't have a large voice in the merger considerations as we go forward,' the CEO added.

Competition and customers worry the merger would cost shippers — and ultimately consumers — as well as placing unconsolidated market power in the hands of a single railway, which would handle some 20 per cent of American freight traffic.

Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern argue that getting hitched would slash costs and prompt rivals to lower their rates to compete.

A second deal with CP announced Wednesday would also give CN a quicker route to Mexico from Canada.

'It's not just southbound, it's northbound,' Mr. Robinson said. Automotive and container shipments as well as commodities would be among freight loaded, she said.

Inside the private

Muskoka conference that fares Canada's movers and bakers - including Mark Carney

DON GLADZE SEAN LUGAR STEPHANIE LEVITZ JAMES BRADSHAW

Muskoka residents were bullied, as thick wildfire smoke descended from Northern Ontario in mid-late, producing a mysterious daytime fog, RTMV beam with powerful single arm engines emerged in the heart of cottage country.

The locals were curious: You'd a training operation? A bust of some sort? Security for someone special?

By late Thursday, they had their answer: Prime Minister Mark Carney was coming to town, starting the JW Marriott resort on Lake Roscoe, and the public schedule later revealed an annual conference that brings together chief executives, wealthy entrepreneurs, top politicians, world-renowned scientists and venture capitalists. They call it the Dock.

Since 2010, the high-powered but private conference has become a gathering place for prominent Canadians to solve the world's problems. It's not just the country's issues. Its agenda often has a technology focus, and the annual credits has produced some real results.

In its early days, conference grants helped curb the first iteration of Canada's artificial intelligence strategy, last year, at leaders pleaded as forces Canada Forum that could bring together the world's largest money managers and show off what Canada has to offer. A similar style of event is being held in September.

On the Dock's most workings have been a mystery. Roughly its people now attend annually, by invitation only, and they are sworn to secrecy. The conference has a guiding principle: high-powered people can't speak freely if privacy isn't necessary.

On gathering, then, is like forces in a dock, mixed with the exclusivity and confidentiality of the annual bus Valley conference hosted by Allen & Co. in Idaho, which has been called a summer camp for billionaires.

This year, the Dock leads on extra meaning. The pace of change in technologies such as AI and quantum computing has hit many quads, the political relationship between Canada and the Canadian (U.S. and the U.S. military) and U.S. President Donald Trump is revamping his global tariff strategy. These days after the conference ended, the U.S. Tel Canada will be in per cent speed, and the U.S. is spending the North American free trade agreement that is currently being renegotiated.

To understand what really goes down at the Dock, The Globe and Mail spoke to all people who have attended or are intimately familiar with the event, with some simple confirming their attitude and refusing to say more, and also reviewed documents such as agendas and conference summaries.

The Globe is not naming its sources because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the event.

The 2010 conference took place from July 16 to 17 at Frenzide on Lake Roscoe, an expansion project crisis reworded by billionaires and major negotiator Max Gilgan. He founded Medaury Homes, a major developer in the Greater Toronto area. His companies are registered as having lobbied the Carney government on housing policy, federal lobbying records show. However, he endorsed Conservatrix Leader Pierre Frideric in the late December.

Mr. Gilgan's estate is a former street and conference centre, and it contains multiple businesses, guest houses, sports courts and a helicopter park, plus a classic diner called Fence's.

The goal of the Dock is to foster debate and to businesses, and there is an emphasis on flexibility. Throughout the event there are often a number of 'can/can/land' events, which are short upon representations in small groups. Gaerts from casualty, often wearing 3 skirts and shelf sunk tops, shorts and runners or boat shoes. Some even have slightly messy cottage hair. There is also a social aspect that has previously included a campfire performance by Clive Ruddick and the Dock Band, dock cruises and craft morning yoga.

During the more formal part of this year's event, the major themes included space and satellites, AI, defense and health science, beverages or an always top of mind. Mr. Carney attended on the final morning for two hours, from a a day to a a.m., and he participated in a friends chat. Thomas Wengate, Franklin-Phillips-Champagne was also there.

This year's attendees from the business world included: Royal Bank of Canada chief executive officer Dave Muley and former Magna International CEO Don Walker, both of whom helped create the conference's new stages, the Holy Mike Serbinis, the founder of Kobo and health care startup League; pension fund Chris John Graham (CPPB) and John Orda (PPT); Nick Frosst, co-founder of Colvers, Canada; and a member of the Fletcher, the founder and CEO of autonomous driving startup Washx, a University of Toronto spin-out.

Roughly 60 people now attend annually, by invitation only, and they are sworn to secrecy. ABOVE: ED BUDDY, BENT THE CLOSE AND MAIL

Additional grants included Carey Burrs, chair of geopolitical consultancy Eurasia and ex-principal secretary to former prime minister Sarah Trudeau. Ryan Reynolds, the Canadian actor and businessman, and Scott Rodham, a venture capitalist who led on China's rise and is now a corporate director. Mr. Rodham has been a driving force behind the conference since its inception.

In space was a key theme this year and last, the CEO of MSA Space and Silence were there, as was Missi Mitry, the founder of satellite company Kepler Communications. Also in attendance, were prominent branch entrepreneurs including social founder Clarissa Desjardins, CEO of Congruence, and Tamer Mohamed, co-founder and CEO of Vancouver's Aspect Biosystems.

The point of it all, sources said, is to bring business and government leaders together because they tend to think in very different ways.

Mr. Trudeau attended the conference multiple times, and former deputy prime minister Cheryda Freeland has also attended. As for Mr. Carney, he attended the final morning this year for the opportunity. To meet and engage in robust conversations with entrepreneurs and industry leaders on ways to continue calling and growing the company, 'India Onils, his press secretary, wrote in a statement to The Globe.'

Since becoming Liberal Party Leader in early 2010, Mr. Carney has regularly sought out meetings with business leaders both in Canada and abroad. During a trip to New York City this spring, he met with representatives from BlackRock, General Atlantic, JPMorgan Chase and Blackstone, among others.

When it was created, the Dock was sponsored by RBC and Magna and organized in collaboration with the Cora, a networking and support group founded by Canadians living and working in Silicon Valley. In its first year, there were about 30 attendees, and the event was more of an informal gathering abroad at the Muskoka cottage of Magna's, Mr. Walker.

Since Mr. Walker's retirement, Mr. McKay has become the leading organizer. RBC and Mr. Walker declined to comment for this story.

In its early years, the conference was credited with influencing the launch of Ottawa's first pan-Canadian AI strategy in 2007, which included leading AI institutes in Montreal (MLA) and Edmonton (AMT) and also costing the Vexter Institute, a non-profit AI research hub in Toronto created to help slow the resolus of Canadian-trained AI specialists learning for Silicon Valley.

Like many annual events, attendees say there are years when the Dock both a little was urgent and more exploratory. The gathering in 2009, which was attended by Evan Solomon, Canada's first federal AI minister, was an unusual edition because the mood was so grim. Donald Trump had just launched his trade war and everything hit dark, two people who were there said.

The 2010 conference also had a combative exchange. At one point, Ian Brummer, the founder of Eurasia Group, was on stage with Eric Schmidt, the former Google CEO. Shortly founder John Little—arguably Canada's most successful tech entrepreneur

and one of the country's wealthiest people, who had attended the conference multiple times and the need to tell Mr. Brummer that he was talking too much and that he wanted to hear more from Mr. Schmidt as a company builder.

Some people felt it was disrespectful, particularly as Mr. Brummer was an invited VIP. Mr. Little was not turned back this year.

Read about the exchange, Mr. Little said in a book, 'I can confirm that I said this and meant it' He added: 'The dock is a conference where your leaders go to see some thirty heart of my people say to impress him people. I went a few times to read them the riot action where Canada is headed if they keep up the NR', not because sometimes taking very low percentage change swings is worth it if the ladies are high.'

NFC notes to non-pleating characters in video games, or in Mr. Little's explanation, an astronaut who 'who feels entirely committed by prepared script and dialogue love and no ability to think.'

The timing of the exchange with Mr. Brummer was telling. It came a year after proposed capital gains tax increase by the Trudeau government added to the discovers many tech entrepreneurs across Canada felt about the country's leadership and direction, perceiving that political leaders weren't listening to company creatives and builders. That year marked the launch of Build Canada, a strong supporter by Mr. Little that has heavily pressed the changes to improve Canada's competitiveness.

(Shortly tried to hire Mr. Carney in 2009, when the company offered him a job as president. That was before he went to Brookfield Asset Management.)

Over 60 Mr. Carney's first move as Prime Minister was to accept the capital gains tax increases, but the frustration of many Canadian tech leaders hasn't fully disappeared. Successive governments and large Canadian companies haven't been able to solve issues such as Canada's chronic productivity crisis, an early dependence on the U.S. market or the housing crisis that has fuelled investment in younger people.

The crowd at the Dock may close old school - more Toronto Club than Solos House. But it is nonetheless designed to address many of the sector's concepts.

In 2010, the insurance, a brought together some of the world's leading AI experts to understand the role Canada can play, including Geoffrey Hinton, the guillotine of Al Jordan Jacobs, managing partner of Ronald Vernon, and Tilt Kapokian, the former executive director of the U.S. National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence.

Any real-world impact that comes from this year's conference may take time to emerge, but attendees spied of much more optimism and energy this time around. Some also voiced respect for the attention Ottawa is giving to crucial issues, as well as an appreciation of just how much the federal government and Mr. Carney are dealing with.

After the Prime Minister's session, one attendee explained, 'people walked out thinking, 'Wow, he's playing five-dimensional chess and getting shit down.'

Dr. Verma gave a visit TEDx Talk about his experiences holding over 5,000 human hearts.

Meet the globally-renowned cardiac surgeon and scientist whose message has reached millions

We renowned cardiac surgeon-scientist Dr. Canada Verma took to the stage at TEDxVal d'Meissauqua in April 2020, it wasn't to share the latest in heart science. He offered a different perspective on breakthroughs in the field of medicine.

'A breakthrough is not merely one moment of brilliance. It's an act of endurance. It's an act of courage. It's an act of curiosity. But above everything, it's an act of interdepression.' Dr. Verma said in his talk, 'What 5,000 Human Hearts Taught the About Breakthroughs.'

Oops of the talk have since gone viral, with his science of resilience, an end to the world's leading more than 60 million people people across Canada and around the world.

It's just one more moment in a career that has been distinguished by outstanding achievements. Open all the time, Dr. Michael's Hospital in Toronto since 2006 — joining after getting his MD at the University of Calgary, a PhD at the University of British Columbia and cardiac surgery training at the University of Toronto — Dr. Verma's career has spanned two decades, as a professor of surgery, and pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Toronto, Dr. Verma is one of Canada's most recognized cardiovascular surgeon scientists, a Ten Canada Research Chair in Cardiovascular Surgery and in the top one per cent of highly cited researchers globally.

“My realization about [medical] breakthroughs was that they almost never belong to one person.

Dr. Verma

and recipient of major national and international awards.

His work in the area of cardiometabolic disease and human vascular stem cell exhaustion is widely regarded as ground breaking, and he has been in leadership roles for the development of numerous contemporary therapies in heart failure and cardiometabolic diseases that have resulted in major changes in clinical practice guidelines throughout the world. In 2015, he also founded CardioLab, Canada's first and to take only translational clinical trials infrastructure dedicated to cardiac surgery and cardiometabolic science. Through surgery, science and mentorship Dr. Verma has saved countless lives and helped significantly advance our understanding of the heart. Here, we spoke with Dr. Verma about breakthroughs, interdependence and having heart

They say that as a surgeon, your specialty says a lot about you. Why did you choose to become a heart surgeon?

There are few places in medicine where the stakes are so immediate. A person arrives with a falling valve, a blocked artery, a torn aorta or a heart that simply cannot carry them anymore, and within hours, sometimes minutes, an entire team has to move with precision and courage.

But I was also drawn to the symbolism of it. Cardiac surgery as655 to the part of me that loves science and technical excellence, but also to the part of me that believes medicine is a deeply human for. It demands discipline, humility, stamina and teamwork. It teaches you very quickly that confidence is important — but reverence is more important. In many ways, I chose cardiac surgery because I wanted to understand what the heart reveals about being human.

Your TEDx Talk was about breakthroughs that have less to do with medical techniques, and more to do with what research possible. What was your “breakthrough” about breakthroughs?

My realization about [medical] breakthroughs was that they almost never belong to one person. Early in my career, I had the same image many people have: a breakthrough is a flash of genius, a heroic moment, one person seeing

what no one else could see. But surgery strips that illusion away very quickly. You may be the surgeon holding the heart, but the patient survives because of the anesthesia sought, the nurses, the perfusionist, the ICU team, the trainees, the scientists who came before you, the engineers who built the tools, the family who hosted you and the patient who endured. The miracle is never in one pair of hands.

That realization deepened as I moved from the operating room into clinical trials, translational science, mentorship and advocacy. A discovery does not become a breakthrough because it is published. It becomes a breakthrough when it reaches people — when it changes practice, reduces suffering, improves recovery, protects dignity or opens a door for someone else.

Once you understand that, it changes how you see success. You stop asking, 'How do I become the hero?' and you start asking, 'How do I build something that allows more people to rise?'

How do you bring this belief in interdependence into the work you do, not just at the operating table, but in patient care, research, mentorship and advocacy?

A good cardiac operation is a choreography of host. Everyone has a role. Everyone's nose matters. The host outcomes happen when hierarchy does not silence wisdom. A nurse may see something first.

A trainee may ask the question that matters. A perfusionist may anticipate the problem before it becomes visible. The patient benefits when the team is allowed to think together.

In patient care, interdependence means remembering that the operation is only one chapter. In research, it means building platforms rather than movements. In mentorship, interdependence means understanding that the greatest measure of a career is not how to do it. It is not how to do it. It is not how to do it.

And in advocacy, interdependence means widening the circle of who gets seen, who gets studied, who gets protected and who gets access to the best care. The question is always: who is still outside the circle, and how do we bring them in?

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

The heart has taught me that interdependence is the architecture of life. We are only human, through our ability to carry others.

U.S. to inspect EU trade practices

Trump made the announcement a day after the European Union hit Google with a fine of €890-million

SHELTER SPEEDYLE COLLIN DORLEY | CONSTRUCTOR

The United States will open a formal investigation into the European Union's trade practices, President Donald Trump said on Friday, claiming the first loss certainly to test billions of dollars of those against Google, Apple Inc., and other U.S. tech giants.

The Republican President made the announcement a day after the EU hit Google with a fine of €890-million, or $1.4 billion, after it said the technology behemoth broke digital antitrust regulations by setting up Google Play and its ubiquitous search engine to create consumers formed its own services and, says to the president of competitors.

In a lengthy post on social media, Mr. Trump said he has warned the EU about its practice of hiring U.S. tech companies, the natural Google, Apple, Mobi Platform Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and others.

'The United States of America is in a 'PIGOTIANA' for Europe, nor will we allow it to be?' Mr. Trump said, adding that his post should serve as notice of an immediate trade investigation 'into the practice of 'KORBROU' American companies and, in turn, the American taxpayers.'

'The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical campaign, which I have consistently worried them about,' he said.

In the post, Mr. Trump asserted that the penalties against the companies 'will be entirely reversed' and predicted 'a substantial Y&R?' would be placed on the EU 'at the earlier possible moment.'

'My family,' he said.

Mr. Trump's move comes a day after the White House announced double-digit tariffs on imports from more than 60 countries, accusing them of inadequately reducing taxes on goods produced by forced labour. The new tariffs replace employers' co-pot-cuts worldwide import taxes that Mr. Trump imposed after the Supreme Court struck down his biggest tariffs.

The new tariffs are being implemented using Section 26 of the Trade Act of 1979, which permits the president to implement import taxes and other sanctions against countries bound to engage in 'unjustifiable,' 'unreasonable' or 'discriminatory' trade practices.

The EU's billion-dollar fine against Google was the latest major crackdown on Big Tech by Rounds, which has led the world to arising in some of the world's largest companies.

It has done so despite the risk of incurring the victim of Mr. Trump's first loss almost due to the 10 various bloc's digital regulations and a broader campaign against Europe: imposing high tariffs, making threats to seize Greenland from Denmark by force, and rattling trust within the NATO military alliance.

Mr. Trump had threatened retaliation if American tech companies are penalized.

Google had recently lost its appeal of a US$4.4 billion antitrust fine imposed by the EU for denoting competition and reducing consumer choice through the dominance of its own trade and targeting groups.

The European Commission, the bloc's executive branch and highest antitrust estimate, said it was acting in the interest of consumers after an investigation of Google.

The EU describes some of the world's leading tech giants - Amazon, Apple, Google parent Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and TikTok owner Briefsmen - as 'pathkeeper' that control access for consumers.

UAE: Free-trade talks with the Gulf state took 47 days to complete

© FROM B1

In November, Mr. Cannon secured a pledge from the UAE to invest $70-billion in Canada. This has yet to happen, as officials from the Gulf state look for shovelf-trade projects, but many of Canada's proposed initiatives have not yet advanced that far and Ottawa is trying speed up the timelines to approve infrastructure and energy projects.

'Our investment agreement gives investors the certainty they need to write those cheques,' Mr. Sidhu said.

The war in Iran, which had spiked out into the wider Gulf region, delayed the start of Canada's free-trade talks with the UAE, but Mr. Sidhu and Dr. Al Zeyroudi each emphasized how fast the negotiations have progressed since then, taking up days to complete.

Mr. Cannon had UAE President Shub Mohamed for Grand Al Nahyan previously signed a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA), which made it a statement to the UN-fledged trade agreement when Mr. Cannon visited last year.

On Friday, Dr. Al Zeyroudi told reporters that there has been 'very positive progress and negotiation and discussion' about the potential projects that could be that investment from the UAE's largest sovereign wealth funds.

'The state-owned oil company AIPOC - the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, which has been of the most discussions. The talks are 'going very well, and we're not just the more announcement we're soon to come out from the energy sector,' he said.

Mr. Sidhu said Dr. Al Zeyroudi has said that representatives from 'a majority' of the UAE's

sevenige wealth funds will attend the Canada investment Summit, a two-day meeting of senior business leaders scheduled for mid-September in Toronto that the federal government will co-host with major Canadian pension funds. The leaders of UAE investment funds 'want to seize those opportunities, but as you know, billion-dollar deals don't happen over one handshake,' Mr. Sidhu said.

Dr. Al Zeyroudi said 'the discussions are moving, and we're going to announce it at the right time.' He added that the request for treatment content 'is going to be another platform where we're going to announce some of those partnerships.'

Examples of the discussions Dr. Al Zeyroudi cited as under way included global legacies giant JW World Ltd. exploring new investments, and advanced convoca-

tions taking place about mission. After Friday's announcement, officials gathered for a round table meeting hosted by the Canada-UK Business Council in a North Midwest near the city council to co-chaired by former Quebec premier from Charest and Ally-NOC's chief executive officer of the Spitman-Mozzibek Al Kadai. The business delegation attending the meeting included

Canadian companies such as National Bank of Canada, which sponsored the gathering and opened an office in Dhaka earlier this year. Mr. Cannon's government has set goals to double non-U.S. exports within a decade, expanding abroad also overseas by E(a)(b) firm, and is aiming to draw $70-billion of new private-sector investment to Canada over five years.

How we snagged a campsite using an AI bot

New technology could make reservations systems more unfair

ERICA ALUM

PERSONAL ECONOMICS REPOSITED

That's Jager is well acquainted with the annual report. I ritual that often precedes summer camping at national and provincial parks for Canadians across the country.

The report on early July, the Abbotsfield, BC-based retired RCMP officer arranges what for pickups a job a mission control style set up. A few minutes before 7 a.m. or 7 p.m. and his wife could log into the BC Parks website, which handles campsite reservations for provincial parks with both a campsite and an iPad.

One phone is also signed into the campsite booking platform – as an emergency back-up – while a second phone is running FaceTime to allow real-time coordinators between the couple and two similar set-ups run by their longtime camping friends.

The moment of truth comes some time between 6:30-20 a.m. and 7 a.m., when online campground reservations open for dates startling three months ahead on a first-come, first-served basis. Will the friends be able to reserve enough sites for their annual get-together at Manning Park in August?

With several devices active, the group usually manages it first even. Mr. De Jager, who's had his share of thrills in his career as a police officer and 15 years in the army before that, filed it all a hit the native-wounding.

'This is a whole different kind of stress,' he said.

Sir: Mr. De Jager's stress – and his odds of getting a campsite, he's with those of many other avid campers – could get worse. The reason is artificial intelligence.

Tech-savvy consumers around the world are increasingly relying on AI agents to make digital environment for anything from restaurants to shuttle services to the airport. The Globe and Mail set out to say if it could design an advanced bot that can make campground bookings exactly when reservations open. We did, and it was easy.

The success of our experiment raises the concern that users intending AI bots will be able to map camping spots faster than even the fastest-clicking humans on government text campground reservation platforms, which mostly rely on first-come, first-served systems.

For years, these motivated campers have specialized on social media about bots searching coveted into at popular parks. But evidence of the issue remained scare. Several provincial park agencies and Parks Canada, which oversees national parks, have said their platforms keep bots at bay by promoting both reservations and targeting users to set up secure individual tag in accounts, among other bots.

AI promises to scale out a different kind of bot, but the so-called wapping best programmed to make mass reservations to reach at higher prices, but bots that use an individual's account to simply make a booking on their behalf and automate a time-consuming task.

This sort of bot is much harder for booking websites to detect because it mimics a human consumer's behaviour, experts say. And it poses a particular challenge for reservation systems that award spots based on user speed.

Even before AI, the first-come, first-served model needed to favour savvy, faster, better organized people, said Nick Amosio, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota in the department of Industrial and Systems Engineering.

'Note, if you're writing a bot, basically you have an even bigger advantage in the past, but you're said. 'It absolutely would make the issues of first-come, first-served, I think, even more extreme.'

But there's a potential advertising. The rise of AI booking bots could accelerate efforts already afoot, in both Canada and the U.S., to find a better system to award reservations for the limited number of campsites at government level. The state are scare supply of public goods, for that matter. A system that's faster, less stressful – and where bots won't have an edge.

It took The Globe only a couple of hours to build a campsite-

booking bot using the Claude AI model. The AI assistant, which is trained to attribute importance to factors such as fairness and rule-fathering, it told The Globe, initially expressed reservations about building such a tool, which it likened to a scalping grade box.

But Claude eventually agreed to complete the task as a proof-of-concept meant to aid The Globe's journalistic endeavour.

We tested the bot on the Ontario Parks camp reservation page, which drew on a booking platform similar to the one used by M. Parks and Parks Canada. We scheduled the bot to reserve a campsite at Algonquin Provincial Park's New Lake campground at 7 a.m. ET on a recent July morning for reservations opening five months later in early December.

While competition for camping in winter is much less intense than for the summer months, the trial ran one eye-opening. The bot clicked its way from the loga portal to the payment page to around 12 seconds. (The Globe then refused the spot before completing the booking to avoid competing with actual campers.)

Faye Dunn, a spokesperson for Ontario Parks, said the agency uses a variety of safeguards to protect against unauthorized or large-scale automated activity. But AI assisted both such as the one used by The Globe, 'reflect a broader industry challenge' for reservation platforms, he said in an e-mail.

BC Parks and Parks Canada provided similar responses to The Globe's requests for comment on the AI bot.

One way to remove the advantage of AI bots to allocate camp rules through a random draw. That's the system Parks Canada already uses when reservations open at its most popular campgrounds.

Users into a virtual waiting room shortly before booking open for the camping season at a particular park. Then, at a set time, the system randomly assigns everyone to the room a position in a digital queue. As

people get to the log of the bus, they can reserve sites and dates based on availability – until everything is booked.

Entering the virtual room early doesn't grant any other benefits to arriving late lands you at the very back.

Virtual queues are already widely used for anything from concert ticket sales to product launches as a way to determine small inventories of sought-after goods in an orderly fashion when demand for outstrips supply.

Another benefit: transparency. When consumers queue up in the physical world, 'people will need to that line and they will not come kind of order,' said Jasper Furris, the director of the GLOBE and the University of Quebec in, at Gecardagean-based virtual waiting room software provider that has worked with clients including Ticketmaster, Colbyr Pacific and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

Analyzing a number is a queue to users online recruits a similar experience, he said. And in a randomized line, a bot holding a spot for a single customer doesn't affect other people's chances.

'It should be part of the better and it should have a place in line,' Mr. Greenberg said, referring to this type of bot.

The tricky part is figuring out which bots have legitimate reservations and which ones accept no good, he added. Until recently, bot detection was all about distinguishing between human users and automated agents, which were generally assessed to be bad actors that should be blocked.

But with people now using AI agents to do their shopping and make their booklets, virtual lines need the digital equivalent of a bouncer at the door who's able to tell a well-behaved bot from a touchscreen one, according to Mr. Greenberg.

These authentication standards, which we a bot by verifying to mandate, are all emerging, he said.

'It will be a huge challenge for e-commerce companies, ticketing companies and public

bottlenecks,' he said.

But if lottery systems neutralize a bot's speed advantage, they also generate their own kind of hesitation.

But Kuhnlein and Betty Ann Lough knew that feeling well. The couple, who live in Calgary, have been trying their luck with Parks Canada's random queue to camp at Lake O'Hara in B.C.'s Noho National Park for four years – so far without success.

The trespasser lake surrounded by pristine alpino valley is one of Canada's most sought-after camping destinations. Parks Canada now relies on a random draw for local campsite bookings and has even set up a lottery for tickets to the shuttle bus that is the only way to secure the area for day trips.

Mr. Kuhnlein and Ms. Lough used to camp at Lake O'Hara in the open, back when one could reserve a site when a ticket phone call. Today, they feel shut out of the place that provided the gorgeous backdrop for so many family memories.

They got to camp three again for a single night in 2019 – but only thanks to a cancellation by a friend who's it getting a spot. Their own attempts have gone madness year after year.

A randomized virtual fair may be a fairer, better system than first-come, first-served, but it still doesn't seem quite right, Mr. Kuhnlein said.

'It's pretty disheartening when you see you're another uca,' it

It's why some parks are adding a twist to the random draw approach. California, for example, is switching to a weighted first-servroom for the most popular camping destinations. Every time users try the lottery with no luck, they receive one spot to be used to future draws, which improves their odds. Once they see a reservation, their balance meets the

one. The idea of things detonates in favour of people who have tried and failed before last, now, said University of Minnesota's Prof. Amosio, it's a system commonly used to educate, among other things, hunting farmers and registrationmen to some popular автомат+kits, which attract far more runners than they can accommodate, he said.

The biggest advantage of this system is that it, essentially, even out users' luck across the years, he said.

'It allows you to make the system more fair across time.'

Other flares, distinguished professor of operations management and statistics at the University of Toronto's Kintner School of Business, then that approach. But he suggests an additional terrain reducing credits for users who telephones, such as campers who fail to show up on their reserved dates and don't cancel their bookings.

This would be to discourage undesirable behaviour without totally penalizing users for a oneself inflection, he added.

Of course, the hard work is figuring out exactly the details of how to assign the weighting. And then there are ethical questions about who deserves to receive preferential treatment. For example, should local residents be prioritised over tourists?

'That's not going to be one perfect system,' that Amosio said. But weighted lettering have the potential to be a rather good one,' he added.

That likely holds even in the era of AI bots.

Magna is back. There's a case for holding on

Canadian auto-parts giant has navigated tariffs, soft vehicle sales. The new challenge? A high share price

DAVID BERMAN

BERMAN

DEEP SIVE

Canadian companies are being the caught up against its U.S. President Donald Trump's erratic trade policies, and now face more logistical headaches over capricious tariffs and upfronts of the U.S.

But again no sympathy for Magna International Inc. The share price of the auto-parts giant, based in Australia, has more than doubled from its recent low in, months ago, leaving investors with just one hand: scratches.

How high can this stock go? Mr. Trump's new business is being defined by outspoken both Japanese toward allies and trading partners - and he has shown no signs of letting up.

This week, he announced up-per-cent tariffs against hundreds of Canadian experts should at about 150-to-billion in total, a year after imposing tariffs in steel, aluminum and autos.

It marks an escalation in his time war against Canada and a tough guy approach to negotiations after raging not to renew the United States Micro-Canada Agreement earlier this month.

Magna, however, is cruising through these uncertain times, unless touring the company's delightfully second place among

trading nations, auto-makers, vehicle models and powertrains. How else to explain the stock's recent outperformance next to Intel Motor Co., General Nelson Co. and others? Magna has begun the share performance of Ford and GM alone by a percentage points, not average, over the past 12 months.

For that month, Magna has outperformed Nvidia Corp., the chip-maker at the centre of the artificial intelligence phenomenon, and the broad 360° 500 SDI - Mr. Trump's occasional benchmark for U.S. economic performance - by more than an percentage points each over the same period.

Magna had a couple of things going for it over the past year.

For one, the stock was chosen, valued before the rally began, at investors fretted over trade, the economy and the company's response to financial and economic attacks made in fourth America.

In April, 2015, it traded at less than seven times estimated earnings, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. That was well below the 10-year average price-to-earnings ratio of a 4,441, and that lowest rate of the valuation range over the past decade.

This sharp status wasn't observed, though, which is the other factor that helped drive the stock's rally over the past year. Magna addressed investor concerns with solid financial performance.

In the first quarter, revenues

increased by 2 per cent compared with the same period last year, even as global light vehicle production declined by 7 per cent.

Profit margins expanded by 2 per cent, up from 3.5 per cent last year, suggesting that tariffs aren't a drug on performance, and adjusted earnings per share increased by 7 per cent, sailing past analysis estimates.

Now, with Magna set its failure to second-quarter financial results on July 30, the pressure is on.

The stock is no longer cheap. The share price has rallied on percent in 2016 alone and the price-to-earnings ratio has expanded to 10. That is the highest valuation in about three years and

suggests that investor expectations could be harder to satisfy now.

Still, there's a strong case here for holding on or utilizing the next day if Thursday market downturn proves to be more than a brief relief.

Magna has the ability to expand beyond auto-parts by allocating spare manufacturing capacity to areas of promising growth, including robotics, battery storage and defense, where it can leverage its expertise, according to Jonathan Goldman, an analyst at Bank of Nova Scotia.

'These opportunities come with significantly higher margins and don't require a lot of incremental capital expenditures,' Mr. Goldman said in a note this week.

Magna is also capable of further improvement to its profit margins with the help of advanced technology that can detect past defects and other economic benefits.

In a call with analysts in May, Philip Foreman, Magna's chief financial officer, John DeAngelo margins - specifically, earnings before interest, and taxes, or EBIT, to revenues - he expand to a range between 6 per cent and 4.6 per cent this year, even if sales are slightly lower.

If this right, the expansion will don't further grow its profits and cash flow, which can be put toward share buybacks, an alternative to dividends.

Not death, U.S. tariffs are a nuisance that added up to a 1/10-ton-million bit to the company last year.

But if the rally in the share price is proving anything, for that Magna is a bigger force than Mr. Trump's trade policies - and it stands in now what he's trying to make a deal with scare tactics.

For dividend investors, free ride is over in current interest-rate environment

TIM SAUFELT

SHIFRISON

Our decades, the dividend investing plighted in Canada was simply, buy one, invest in dividend stocks, they two, make one of money. That's pretty much it.

Canadian dividend banks and portfolio all performed more or less the same - that is, consistently beating the broader stock market over the long term.

From 2010 to 2016, the S&P/ITIS Companies Index generated a total return of 4.5 per cent a year, where 5 per cent for the Dow Jones Canada Select Dividend Index, don't argue with that.

But the game has changed. In a higher interest-rate environment, the dividend space is a lot trickier to navigate.

For the better part of 30 years, bond yields moved in one direction, from the double-digit peak of the early 1980s to the near-seven lows of the pandemic in 2016.

This historic, structural downturned served as a near-constant tailwind for a generation of dividend investors.

Declining bond yields reduce competition in the income space by making dividends more attractive by comparison. They also cut borrowings costs for companies carrying debt - helpful in capital-intensive sectors like utilities and high yield investment trusts, which also happen to be generous with dividends.

Not only has a basket of dividend stocks than a spectacular evolution in Canada for a very long time. It has also been less volatile and has held its value better in a falling market, according to an analysis by Craig Baimger, chief market manager at Purpose Investments.

'Canadians have manufactured low for dividends for good reasons,' Mr. Baimger said.

Our ideas in Canadian investing command that held at Enfield by McFarland, has, helped have crashed and burned at some point, such as technology, marijuana, gold, forestry, or energy, Mr. Baimger added.

We, dividends.

of ultralow interest rates, dividend stocks have still done well, posting about 4 per cent annualized returns.

'As one is complaining about 6 per cent a year. The problem is, that's to line with how the stock itself has performed. But, have been equally volatile, and that. The advantage of dividend strategies seems to have been aided.'

For the better part of 40 years, bond yields moved in one direction, from the double-digit peak of the early 1980s to the near-seven lows of the pandemic in 2016. This historic, structural downturned served as a near-constant tailwind for a generation of dividend investors.

'In a higher or more normal yield environment, perhaps the defensiveness of the dividend factor doesn't hold,' Mr. Baimger said.

It would be one thing if dividend investors merely had to set for market returns. Big a little deeper, however, and you can see a more important pattern developing.

Divergence within the dividend universe is rising, quickly up until the pandemic, the

group traded pretty much in unison, rising and falling within a very small range of one another.

Since then, the variance between major dividend funds in Canada has roughly tripled. Partners' analysis showed: 'Sudden by it seems to have an ageing over dividend exposure,' Mr. Baimger said.

Lately, success in dividend investing has been more a function of choosing the right sector last year, it was gold stocks. Then it was oil and gas.

Lately, the big banks have risen to the top of the leaderboard. If your chosen dividend head, or do it yourself alternative, has been skewed toward the right industry at the right time, you've done well.

There is risk to concentration. How confident are you that you could correctly choose and time the next hot sector in the dividend space? In such an environment, diversified dividend exposure within a well rounded portfolio may be the quarter more, but don't expect the same market-beating edge dividends provided in years past.

The whole could always shift again. Maybe this is but a brief interruption to the golden age of dividend investing. Perhaps we get back to the way things were - the rise of protectionist politics limits out, globalization regains its footing, the oil supply disruption cash, excess inflation drop, pears once and for all, and bond yields rename their four-decade decline toward zero.

It's a nice fantasy.

McGuigan: Investors betting that tried-and-true stalwarts won't be trampled by AI

TYRIDE 81

So what is driving bank shares into the stratosphere? The simplest explanation is that investors are looking for safety in a market gene mall.

Think about it: At a time when SpaceX (An more properly, Space Exploration Technologies Corp.) can launch the biggest initial public offering in history without a power to profits, and when U.S. cash grants are betting trillions of dollars in a highly uncertain competition to develop artificial intelligence, there is something undeniably comforting about sidestepping the AI-wars and leading up on more tech businesses that have a long record of profitability and steady payouts.

Investors' sudden time toward Canadian bank shares is part of a larger stamped-owned micro-computer, the pipeline operator T.J. Energy Corp., the power Lofaker Co., Ltd., and the electricity generator Canadian Utilities Inc., are all trading at their highest market price of earnings in years. Investors may be betting that tried-and-true stalwarts like this won't be disrupted by AI.

Dividends are a powerful additional time. Each one guaranteed investment certificates (GSCs) have already in recent years, so people have had to search for new ways to generate reliable income. Companies in steady industries, with reliable payouts, have therefore enjoyed an unusual surge in popularity.

For dividend investors, this has meant more spectacular returns. One example is Vanguard (Canada's Canadian High Dividend Yield ETF (VHY-1)). It has reckoned ahead by more than 10 per cent over the past year - a striking result for a collection of industry slow-growing banks, pipelines and energy producers.

'At this point, though, investors may want to take a bear before diving into the dividend foresay. Reaching for safety and reliable payouts is eminently sensible in a confounding market. But, at current prices for perpetually sensible stocks, this quest for sanity is verging over the risks of inactions.

It would not take much to knock these supposed havens for a long. In fact, it would require only a reversion to more typical multiples. If Canadian banks or grocers or pipelines were to get back to trading at the valuation that held away for much of the past two decades, they would lose 10 per cent or more of their current value.

If nothing else, investors should ponder what they're getting around prices. The flip side of the big game in dividend stocks is smaller yields. This is just much. Dividends don't shrink in absolute terms - they actually grow in most cases - but they become smaller in competition with suddenly targeted share prices. This lowers yields and makes dividend stocks less attractive to companies to GSC and bonds.

Retail Bank of Canada was yielding more than 4 per cent a couple of years ago, now it yields 4.4 per cent. Canadian Utilities was paying more than 1 per cent for early zero, now it's 3.4 per cent. Similarly, T.J. Energy's yield has been can in half since 2016, sliding from more than 2 per cent. About 2.5 per cent now.

At these levels, investors are getting hard-like payouts with equity-like volatility. That is not a great combination. Dividend stocks will always have their attractions, and there is nothing wrong with holding them if we're aware of the risks, but rambling stocks will not be the returns are unlikely to match this little results of the past couple of years.

So where can investors look for a better deal? Upstream will differ. And I'm intrigued by some of the media hatreds in the recent software selfish! In Canada, Comeditioners Inc. is shown by nearly 4.4 per cent from the market's average in the United States, IBM Corp. is off nearly 2 per cent this month. It's too belies that AI won't be quite as disruptive as many fear, stocks such as this represent tempting value.

How would Faye and Ava draw down RRSPs?

Coughs is looking for advice on how to turn their savings into sustainable, tax-efficient retirement income

DIANNE MALAY

FINANCIAL EXECUTIVE

There is 68 years old and her income As a tax.

Faye retired in 2020, and in 2021, Faye retired in 2020. Faye retired in 2020, and in 2021, Faye retired in 2020. Faye retired in 2020.

As a recurring long-term disability benefits totalling $5,000 a year that came when she turns up, She has a work pension that will pay $40,000 a year at 6%.

“Together we have funds in RRSPs, tax-free savings accounts and non-registered investment funds. Faye writes in 2020 small. They also have a mortgage-free house in small-town Southern Ontario, with a rental order that generates $14,000 a year.”

“We are looking for expert advice on how to turn our savings into a sustainable, tax-efficient retirement income that will support us for the rest of our lives,” Faye writes.

“We want to understand the high RRSP employee strategy for us, how to use ordinarily with Canada Finance Plan, OAK age Security, work pensions and rental income, and how to avoid paying more tax than necessary while ensuring we don’t outlive our money.”

Their retirement spending goal is $100,000 a year after tax, rising with additives.

We asked Ian Calvert, head of wealth planning at HighView Financial Group in Toronto, to look at the couple’s situation.

WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS

Faye and Ava have a net worth of more than $5 million, of which $20 million is their home. We Calvert says:

“They have a great net worth and have accumulated substantial amounts of irreversible assets, but they lack a withdrawal plan that focuses on taxes and the longevity of their assets.”

Faye thinks her part-time job will come to an end this year, so she will have a meaningful after-tax shortfall.

“Faye should undoubtedly look to her $1,250,000 RRSP that involve this problem,” the Calvert says. “It’s a great accomplishment to me, an RRSP of more than $1 million, but this also comes to the tremendous amount of deferred taxes.”

Faye should convert the entire RRSP to a registered retirement 1,000,000, and return the minimum annual withdrawals, the planner says. The minimum withdrawals in 2022 is estimated to be about $10,000.

Starting in 2022, their cash-flow plan breaks down as follows: $28,000 from Faye’s RRIF, $5,000

SAMMY KOLAK/THE GLOBE AND MAIL

CLEURY SITUATION

Income, expenses, assets and liabilities provided by applicants.

The people: Faye, 68, and Ava, 68.

The problem: Finding the optimal draw-down of their savings and investments so they pay as little tax as possible, and that enough to last for the rest of their lives.

The plan: Tap Faye’s RRSP first and split the retirement income to keep them in a favourable tax bracket. When Ava’s disability income ends, she converts her RRSP to a RRIF and begins with drawing to supplement her pension.

The proof: Their spending goal

from her pension, $6,290 in OAK and $6,600 last CPF. That, plan their $14,000 of net rental income and Ava’s combined disability payments of $13,000 will give them a total family income of $162,500 a year. Seldom, long income taxes of $27,730 leaves them with an after-tax income of $107,500 a year, surpassing their spending target.

They should transfer $7,000 each from their non-registered savings to their TFSA in January each year. Be sure.

Because the withdrawal of $10,000 from Faye’s RRIF will be considered eligible pension income, they can elect to split up to 10 per cent of this amount. After income-splitting and considering the investment income they will have to report from their non-registered savings, they can expect their taxable income to be about $14,000 a year each. “This is a favourable income from a tax per-

met and surpassed with a sizeable buffer for future uncertainty.

Monthly after-tax income: $1,500.

Assets: Cash $26,000, O/Cs $436,000, non-registered stocks $41,000, joint non-registered cash equivalents $1,000,000; Faye’s TFSA $212,000, Ava’s TFSA $167,000; Faye’s RRSP $1,250,000, Ava’s RRSP $120,000; house $1,800,000. Total: $5,141,000.

Estimated present value of their defined benefit pensions: Faye’s $71,000 and Ava’s $535,000. This is what someone with no pension would have to care to generate the same retirement income.

spective and puts them both at the top of the gross per-cent combined marginal tax rate.

This would be the optimal strategy until 2020, when Ava turns to, the planner says. At that time, her disability income will end, and her CPF disability will convert to the CPF retirement benefit.

Ava should convert her RRSP to a RRIF and start annual withdrawals. Given that the RRSP is $100,000 today, she should take $50,000 a year – more than the annual minimum. This $20,000 and her pension of $84,000 will mostly effect the loss of her disability payments. At this rate of withdrawal, her RRIF is expected to be depleted by 2021, when she is 72.

Faye can continue to withdraw the annual minimum, which is expected to be about $70,000 by 2022.

Monthly outlays: Property tax (housing expense includes rental) $400, water, sewer, garbage $20, home insurance $300, electricity $300, heating $250, security $50, maintenance $650, garden $75, car insurance $115, fuel $250, maintenance, $500, parking $50, greasing, $350, clothing $300, loan $170, gifts, charity $100, vacation, travel $500, dining, drinks, entertainment $190, personal care $75, arts $100, sports, hobbies $100, subscriptions $25, health care $150, common-cations $125, TFSA $5,170. Total: $6,865. Surplus of $1,631 goes to emergency fund.

Liabilities: Interest-free loans: $16,000.

“Their plan is extremely healthy as most of their income can be funded by RRIF withdrawals, government benefits, pensions and their rental income,” the Calvert says.

“This allows them to continue funding their TFSA, and their non-registered funds will not be needed in a main source of income.” The non-registered portfolio, along with their real estate, should have a substantial buffer for increased longer-term health care costs, if needed.

If the non-registered investments are earn a year over a year, assuming they’re made up of equities, guaranteed investment certificates and cash, the expected value of the portfolio when Faye is 3m will be about $3,000,000, the planner says.

“They could comfortably decrease their annual spending by $50,000 a year, taking only the

“their total non-registered portfolio,” he says.

Ava and Faye wonder what would happen if their rental income was removed, the planner notes. It would be a loss of cash flow, but also $1,200. loss of taxable income to report. In this scenario, they could increase the taxable withdrawals from Faye’s RRIF.

If Faye’s RRIF earns an average of 1 per cent a year, the expected balance at the age of 65 is still $772,000, so there is probably the capacity to increase her annual income from this account.

“Tax efficiently reducing the RRSPs, building the TFSA and preserving their non-registered account will provide the most flexibility and tax efficiency in the long run,” the Calvert says.

Their stocks and stock funds, real estate and government benefits will help them stay ahead of inflation over time. “Holding cash and O/Cs is a great option for short-term funds, but the large of an allocation over their retirement will create their purchasing power,” he says.

“A globally diversified portfolio of equities should play an important role in their asset allocation,” the planner says. “Based on their current assets and spending target, they don’t need to be overly aggressive or tidy in their portfolio decisions to achieve their goals.”

“Building a consistent and predictable income stream of dividends, interest and distributions will help them achieve their real stream while managing risk,” he adds.

As a teenager, jewellery designer Jenny Bird, whose ethically revered warm hair bites now on Hickshly Ohmsy and Gorgee Govey, got one of the few available jobs in her small Ontario town. It means working at a famous – and dangerous – gorge.

Govey up in Ilona, Ont., which people know as a tourist destination now. But in 1929, there were 1,400 people and we didn’t need more a traffic light. All we had was the gorge. We used to ride inflated tractor tests down 8 – so much so that the path decided they had to regulate it because it was introduced to dangerous. That meant it was basically the one place for young people in 1942 a few in Ilona; you could work at campsites or you could be a library or some combination of both.

My parents were farmers, so they worked hard and expected me to, too. If I wanted money, which I did so I could go to what I considered the height of taking off. I was in 1942 and then I had to work. I’d walked pots – our dishes, the mers – in a restaurant before I could legally work at 16. Then, my dad drove me to school, and was whether they were accepting situants and I applied.

The gorge removed their labile

ity by calling us “beach patrols” instead of lifeguards, which is good because I didn’t have any lifeguard skills and there was little training. I couldn’t be of much help if anyone jumped into the dark hole of a job of water, so even though there were signs all over the gorge that said “no jumping,” my job was to mostly sit on a rock in the sun all day and tell people not to jump into the quarry.

I had a whistle to blow and I’d scream and yell “Every Jumpy” but people jumped anyway all the time I was asleep and I returned late and went big glasses, so nobody was intimidated by me; I wasn’t a figure of authority by any means. When anyone jumped, I had to call the ranger and get them kicked out. At least I had these enamel rangers to come and enforce the rules. Most of the

time, they’d just run into the woods to hide, and got away.

The best thing about lifeguarding was when it was a rainy day, no one came. There was a little beach but with a TV. I’d be earning my minimum wage to watch The Price is right and do my nails. Other than that, it was a hard job, so he bonnet. Little kids got hurt all the time, so there was lots of first aid involved, and one day I actually

had to jump in and sort a man. This was in the gorge pends. I had to pull him out of the shallow real onto the beach. In that moment, I realized how serious the job was. I’m lucky nobody got hurt.

Ilona was – and still is – a bit at risk and first. Nobody liked being sold what to do and everyone mostly did whatever they wanted. Volters knew this, too, so every Friday night a gang show of people would arrive at the campsite. Lots of them were University of Windsor students with big plans to pony in the park. This was the era of the Game N’ Boxes. No Maurer cigarettes, freshwater and pickup trucks. My friends and I would meet university boys and then stuff my bed to sneak out to visit their campsite. I’d drive them a map to my house and they’d come pick us up in their truck. I still don’t think my parents know, to be honest.

It was so fun to hang out with those university kids that it made me could do go to university, too. The job helped me decide what to study outdoor recreation. Because I really did like the park ranger part of the job, plus I loved canoeing and being outside. I even jumped from the gorge one time myself – but only from halfway up, which I like to think is not so bad.

Adviser long dreamed of a career in finance

Filion once placed a chartered accountant recruitment poster on his bedroom wall

BRENDA BOUW

BEHIND THE ADVICE

A harm Filion, senior wealth management adviser at the Tradition Securities Inc. in Concord, Ore., talks about wanting to be an accountant like his mom when he was growing up, the benefits of continuing education and why Sherlock Holmes would make a good adviser.

Describe your upbringing and early money experience

I grew up in a family of four in Concord, Ore. My father worked on between bread and my mother was a member of the firm. I was a small sometimes take on second jobs to earn extra money to help support my younger sister and I.

My mom also took account of classes at night. I remember, my kid, helping her study for exams, reading her questions about accounting terms such as assets and liabilities. That's when I was first exposed to different money concepts.

I also had several part-time jobs growing up, everything from babysitting and moneying lawns to working the road check at a local mosque tube shop. My partner was an station. So, I did it on up program at the Desjarline Credit Union, which caused me some high school credits. I was later asked me at a letter at the credit union, while still working at the gas station.

I worked both jobs from my

late teens to my early 20s. As I started making money, my parents recommended that I open a savings account at a local financial institution. I remember going in regularly with my dad in the unpublished banking transactions. I invested in my first guaranteed investment certificate at age 15 and my first mutual fund at the age of 16.

What did you want to be growing at best and how did you get into it special services?

Like many kids, I wanted to be a pro hockey player. Then, for a while, I wanted to be a farmer. From my teens, I wanted to be an accountant after watching my mom's career and even had a

chartered accountant recruitment poster on my bedroom wall.

Looking back, I realize how newly that sounds, but it was an inspiration of the time. I realized I enjoyed accounting, economics, investments and the psychology of money. I would toward being a financial adviser so I could help them structure their finances.

What's the harder plans of money advice for you to follow?

Investing lifestyle inflation as our income grows can sometimes be challenging. As we never thought different stages of life, it's easier for spending to increase. For example, now that our children are in their teenage years, they tend

to want more things and are increased in activities such as open to music, which some with additional costs. Those evils are needs and expectations can make it harder for long lifestyle spending in check, even with the best intentions.

What's the longer plans of money advice for you to follow?

Continuous learning and earning certifications and accreditations. You never stopped taking course in, including obtaining my certified financial planner designation, an M&A and other investment credentials. It can be challenging to do while also working full time, but I think it's worth it

to build your career and skills.

What's a significant change you can coming for the financial services industry in the coming years and how can advisers be prepared for it?

People are becoming more financially autonomous. Many debtors are doing their own research and investing online. It means they're coming to advisers with more information and they're better prepared. They need an adviser who can piece it all together and help provide more information based on their own needs. Advisers should embrace this autonomy and use it to help provide clients with more personalized advice.

What advice do you have for someone who wants to enter your business?

It too back to my own experience of continuous learning, this is a key to our success, designations and professional development. Take as many courses as you can work in your career. Also, take the ones most relevant to your career path. Know are as many career options within 10 ounces.

Which famous person or fictional character would make a great financial adviser and why?

Detective Sherlock Holmes. He asks gracious, probing questions and puts close attention to details others' goals. An adviser who is the great question. I trust the very first meeting with clients, it's about discovery. The mom we know about our plans, the better we can help them get what they want from their wealth.

Manager added to Paycom position, sold Japanese consumer review stock

THE MOVIE

In a stock market some investors complain is overvalued. A money manager from Del Vicario is finding bargains at a rate for hasn't seen since the next downturn.

'It's thro'ly hunting grounds for quality-focused investors right now,' says Mr. Del Vicario, portfolio manager with Vancouver-based Hillside Wealth Management at 14 Private Wealth Inc., who oversees advice from millions to assure.

'It's not just an Al-Ahrens software sale either. Mr. Del Vicario says he's been buying or adding to sales in sectors ranging from financial to investment.'

The increased buying is part of the investment strategy at moving what he considers to be high-quality companies at 'forward prices' and holding them for 'the first decades.'

Mr. Del Vicario's definition of high-quality includes, in part, companies with management teams that have a meaningful stake in the business and a theory of consistently generating above-average returns on invested capital.

But in a market hyperfocused on 12 weeks, he acknowledges his longer-term strategy has made for a tough comparison in soaring in-doors such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq over the past year.

His lowes advantage fund has returned 4.4 per cent so far this year, while it has a negative one-year return of 1.4 per cent. The three- and five-year annualised

returns on 11.4 per cent and 8.7 per cent, respectively. Since the fund's inception on Sept. 1, 2014, its annualised return is 10.7 per cent. The performance is not full of 10 and has in total returns, not 10.7 per cent.

His top five holdings today include Meta Platforms Inc. Games Workshop Group PLC (on the London Stock Exchange), CountsAction Software Inc., Credit Acceptance Corp. and AI-mostation Coaches Yard Inc.

The Gabor spoke with Mr. Del Vicario about three stocks for bought recently and a sell.

Never there stocks you've been buying recently and why.

Copart Inc., a leading global auto salvage company based on 8 billion, is a stock we started buying in March and added to in June this

year. Our average price is US$25 a share.

Copart is an intermediary between sellers, which include insurance companies, banks, and dealerships and vehicle rental companies and buyers, such as used vehicle dealers and the general public. It has about 100 physical salvage yards and locations across South America, the U.K., Europe, Brazil and the Middle East.

Although the number of collisions is falling, the price at which a car is deemed totalled is rising because car technology is expensive to replace. It means more cars with minimal physical damage are being deemed totalled, which benefits Copart's margins.

The stock was overvalued in recent years but has dropped in part because of increased competition from the other large player in the

industry. IAA (Insurance Auto Auction), after it was bought by Rickie Ross in 2013.

We think there's room for both companies to do well in this market and Copart has a competition advantage because it owes most of its salvage yard real estate, while IAA loses a lot of its land.

Also, Copart has no debt and began actively buying both shares earlier this year for the first time in about a decade.

Simulac Capital Group Inc., a Richmond, Va-based property and casualty insurance company, is a stock we started buying in early June. Our average cost is US$30 a share.

Simulac in the excess and surplus floor of insurance in the U.S., a part of the market that's harder to insure. That includes known to offer to hurricanes products and businesses such as construction, commercial transportation, and casualties retailers. It means Simulac can usually charge higher premiums, expectations, or standard insurance pulls back from these higher parts of the market.

One thing we like about the company is that it builds in its own claims worth using a proprietary technology platform rather than outsourcing it, which makes it more efficient, also, in founder and chief executive, Michael Reboe, has a relatively large stake in the business of about 1 per cent. The company also has lower expenses and no debt and has been paying market share.

Paycom Software Inc., an Oklahoma City-based human capital management software provider, is a stock we started buying in 2014 for US$29 a share.

The stock then went on a big

run-up before pulling back again, alongside other software companies, amid concerns that Al will kill their businesses. We bought more Paycom throughout the spring of this year for between US$11.4 and US$12.4 a share.

We think Al is a tailoring, a productivity tool that will help software companies improve their products and existing claims for them. The company's full 4 big business earlier this year, which we like. It's also expanding internationally and gaining market share. We describe that the CEO and founder, Chad Rishnow, owns around 2.6 per cent of the shares.

Name a stock you've sold or returned recently.

Kakaha.com Inc., Japan's leading profit expansion and consumer review website, is a stock we sold in mid-hour after owning from the Tokyo Stock Exchange since 2010. We didn't want to refill, but it's the whole store we're buying. We sold it for around 2.5 per cent, which is a price running ratio of about 2.4, quite high for this type of business.

Kakaha.com is part of business. It's well-focused, but given that its price comparison website has really migrated over the past few years. It's a price we won happy to take. It was also a big position for us, at about 7 per cent of the portfolio. Our average cost was 12.5 per cent. Although there's a bidding not for the company, we didn't want to risk the shares being deflated while we were holding them.

I want to retire back in my home country. What do I need to consider financially?

VIVIAN VASOS

I have lived here for more than 40 years and I am a Canadian citizen experienced a good life in Canada, but it won't be the one for the retirement years abroad where I was born. What does that involve?

We asked Aries Golan-Reznick, a certified financial planner with Objective Finance for his new Inc., to answer this one.

'Retiring abroad after more than 40 years in Canada I was a stock position, and it involves much more than affecting a new home and boasting a plane,' Ms. Golan-Reznick

said. A move abroad affects virtually every aspect of your financial life, including tax planning, investments, retirement income and estate planning, she added. Once your affairs span two courses, cross border rules come to its play, often requiring specialized advice.

According to Ms. Golan-Reznick, one area that catches many retirees by surprise is their investment accounts. 'While you can usually keep your Canadian bank accounts, some financial institutions restrict services for non-residents,' she said. Depending on the institution and your country of residence, you may be able to keep existing investments, but new contributions, trades or even the account

itself may be restricted.

Your Canadian tax obligations will depend largely on your residency status. 'As long as you remain a Canadian tax resident, you generally continue to report and pay tax on your worldwide income,' she said. Once you become a non-resident, however, you are typically taxed only on Canadian-source income. The Canada Revenue Agency determines residency based on your personal circumstances and tax in Canada.

There may also be a departure, or 'exit' tax to consider. Ms. Golan-Reznick pointed out that when you cease Canadian tax residency, Canada may apply a deemed disposition on certain assets, treating them as though

they were sold immediately before departure.

'This can create a capital gains tax liability even if no actual sale occurs,' she said. 'As a non-resident, Canadian-source income may also become subject to withholding taxes.'

As for pensions, moving abroad does not necessarily mean losing them. According to Ms. Golan-Reznick, Canada Revenue Plan (CPF) benefits can not really be paid anywhere in the world. Old age Security (OAS) can also be paid abroad if you have lived in Canada for at least 20 years after the age of 18. Low and OAS payments can generally be deposited into a Canadian bank account or directly into a foreign bank account in many

countries. The Guaranteed Income Supplement (GII) however, is generally only available to Canadian residents.

Health care is another important consideration. To penalize the financial growth growth result in the loss of provincial health coverage once you no longer meet your province's residency requirements,' she said. Ms. Golan-Reznick advised that private health insurance and an emergency fund for essential. 'And, while this is more of an immigration question than a financial planning one, so, a Canadian citizen you retain the right to return to Canada and live here whenever you choose.'

Pogacay extends Tour lead with Stage 19 victory

Four-time Tour de

France champion

captures fifth stage win

of this year's race

ALPE D'HUÉE, FRANCE

Tudaj Pogacay launched a stunning solo attack from the foot of the score. Alpe d'Hoirs to win the sixth stage of the Tour de France and extend his overall lead on Friday.

Even by the four-time Tour champion's 1,000 standards, he was up there with his best wins as he was more than three minutes behind with 13 kilometres remaining.

The 1,000 standards are for the last section, he caught Eron doreau rider Richard Carapax and Frenchman Lanny Martinez with 13 kilometres left and then surged ahead for his fifth stage win of this year's race and 10th overall.

"It's very cool to win up here," Pogacay said. "I'm super happy to take the win."

Martinez finished six seconds behind and Carapax - who won Thursday's 10th stage with a brilliant breakaway win of his own - was nine seconds back. American Sepp Kani, who failed in the cheeted stages, won 1 minute, 14 seconds, and 15 minutes.

With a lead of 7 minutes, 15 seconds over Remco Evenepoel in the overall standings, and two stages remaining, Pogacay is on the brink of joining Eddy Vecchia, Roger Deneaux, Andrew Snyder and Bernard Hinault as the only men to win the Tours.

Racing midway or accident, the Deneaux star will be personal when the race ends on Sunday on the Champs Elysées in Paris.

Rated as an HC mountain pass.

the hardest category in the race, Alpe d'Hoirs is arguably the most famed climb in cycling and has near-very склад status on the Tour. Incarna of fans, many camping overnight and carrying flags of several nations, acclaimed encouragement on each of the 3-4 haplous.

"It was a crazy atmosphere on the whole climb," Pogacay said. "He kept his focus as the public got probands close to his face and, as one stage, he had himself visibility due to smoke from

Rares being hit by spectators. But an impressive as Pogacay's

win was, it also came about because Carapax, from and beyond, did not work together properly to distance Pogacay when he was

lower down. I had to fight against super good riders," Pogacay said. "But they were playing against each other a bit so it helped me to catch up."

Perhaps thinking he could benefit from others' failing and get the stage wins. Martinez kept sitting on Carapax's chair, and was very much on Carapax's appearance and meant the veteran had too much work to do alone.

He kept trying to accelerate while Martinez's win on his junior - did too work and a time looking from generally set back too much before drifting away.

With you meters left Carapax was showing phenomenal stunts as to stay with Pogacay, but he was finally making by a broad acceleration and could not follow as the yellow sirens rolled past him.

Garantay's mammoth 15-kilometer Alpine stage could be up.

9 Kessler's three HC climbs - Col du Le Vaux de l'ex, Col du Calbère and Col de Saumne - and one

Category 1 climb-up Col du Tille-

geophe before a hilly finish to Alpe d'Hoirs.

Pogacay does not need to go for victory and can safely hang back and protect his lead.

But will he?

There are 64 kilometres of pure climbing and that may be too much for him to relax.

"Tomorrow is the Queen stage of the Tour," Pogacay said. "[It] is the hardest day of the Tour. We'll

follow our own plan, our own rhythm. We don't care about anything else."

He is crowned for his father, Carole (Gangster) and the mother, Peter (Ginsberg). He was the former father to daughter, Edna (Kyrie) (Michael), and proud-grandfather of Egypt.

Debbie was born in Stetson, Germany, and immigrated to Canada with his parents and sister (Lovell) and a high school in Scarborough, graduated with an industrial Engineering degree from the University of Toronto in 1995, and was registered as a Professional Engineer in Ontario in 1995. Debbie spent his career in maintenance and logistics management with other large Canadian emergency chores and a major international emergency. He became the parent for the years of his working life as a logistics management consultant for a number of consumer product companies in Canada and the United States.

Debbie enjoyed travelling and, with time, looked forward to their annual fishing trips to Northern Quebec. Debbie and three filled with nine other friends they delighted in, such as occasional visits to casinos, dining out of Canada restaurants and dinner. Prizmire, casual meals at her local point, and everything in between. Debbie was on the spot and talked before, and would never say no to a guest to change to. Luckily with family and friends, she would also happily play a good, long game of legend to explore with Capra. Debbie will be deeply missed and remembered by all who loved him.

At Debbie's request, there will be no violations, no action or a cremation has taken place. His advice will be unimaginable and there's, and played in their niche at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto, during a private family internment service. As yet expressed in sympathy and in love to flowers, Debbie consider making a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

JEAN CHARLES JOSY

Jean Charles Joly, affectionately known to all as J.C., took his final love on June 5, 2020, of his home in Toronto, at the age of 15. He left behind a legacy of global diplomacy, perfectly secret tennis clubs, and a collection of photographs celebrating his beauty he found in the world.

Born on July 6, 1922, in France's Old de Manne region under the family name Jolly, J.C. spent the rest of his life living up to 14. He was a man of boundless, curiously and infectious birthspeople. After immigrating to Canada, he pressed that a Frenchman could prevent Chinese antlers. He went into town a different in international commerce from the University of Ottawa in 1921. J.C. was proud of his French heritage, but fiercely loyal to Canada — his love and faithfully served for over three decades.

Beginning in 1922, as a Trade Commissioner for the Department of Foreign Affairs, Jean Charles brought a unique blend of French names and Canadian integrity to diplomatic moramy worldwide, most notably begging Connecticut during paintings in Royalty, Saudi Arabia, and Monterrey, Mexico. He retired in 2008, having marched the art of international trade and the ever more art of building relationships across cultures.

But a remarkable debt of land down J.C. — if simply gave him more time to indulge his many passions, He could always be found getting lost in a good book, tapping his feet to a low pot set, or immersing himself in classical music, the was also an art of collection, a patron of five theatre, and a lover of independent cinema.

Jean Charles had a gift for shining up contemplative with strangers, forming every checkout line into an unexpected social gathering and leaving a trial of received — if occasionally bewithold — a legal across several continents. But he spent his happiest hours enjoying down tennis balls and eventually conquering the pitcher of Toronto.

J.C. is survived by his daughter, Marie-Claude Joly, Anne-Jane Allaire, he will be deeply missed by his family in France, including his sisters, Maryse Jolly, and Dominique Le Douye, his brothers, Fernand Jolly, and his sisters, Virginie, Sophie, Sandra and Charlotte.

He was propounded in 2020 by his beloved partner of 30 years, Ursula Fennan, Stupeneway! During the last few years of his life, he found love again with his partner, Karin MacInerly, whose companionship and devotion enriched each day they shared.

J.C. also leaves behind a network of former colleagues, neighbours, friends, and fellow Joly members who will forever miss his goals set and join de-lives. Among them is his loyal friend of man by six decades, Richard Milstein.

The world is a little quieter without Jean Charles's choice, a little less curious without his father, and a little less curious without his daughter.

Please join us in an gather to remember and celebrate the life of Jean Charles Joly on Sunday, August 30, 2020, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. At the Hearty Bedford Ground Home, 100 Ephraim Ave. 30, Toronto. Please 800# to Hearty@philgrind.com by August 30th.

KEITH RUTHER THORSON

On July 15, 2008, Ruth Ruther Thomson left behind a legacy of generosity, purpose, and deep devotion to those he loved. He lived a life defined not by what he succumbed, but by the mayor he had on others and the difference he made in their lives.

On the wall of Keith's office was a simple piece of art that read:

"That's why we've here - to make a dent in the universe -"

It was more than a piece of artwork. It reflected the way Keith approached life. He believed we all have the opportunity to leave people, families and communities before their own board them.

Above everything else, the centre of Keith's world was his wife, Tessa, and their daughter, Kiera. Keith and Tessa met on New Year's Eve in 1926, and together they built a remarkable life rooted in partnership, together, adventure, and amusement support. They married in Bermuda, fraileled extensively, built a town in Toronto's, family neighborhood, and found a cherished worker community in Collingwood.

Nothing thought Keith gained you from George Kiercz's father. He believed childhood should be measured by experiences rather than possessions, filling her life with adventures, indifferent and, above all, his time, from their mutual love of173 years. In Saddler's beginning of the 1930s, family with its Algonquin Park, and classroom with art things characters, they were an inseparable pair. He was immensely proud of the thoughtful, kind and independent women-liners he loved.

For more than four decades, Keith devoted his career to helping families live lives at significant. As a trusted Wealth Advisor, he believed his role extended for beyond financial planning. He helped families navigate life's most important decisions, building relationships, and other spanned generations. As a co-founder in one of Canada's first hidden wealth management firms, he recognized that financial decisions are deeply connected to family, values and legacy.

Through his personal work with the Toronto Community Foundation, Keith discovered a passion for philanthropic and the opportunity to combine financial planning with meaningful charitable support. He became one of this country's most respected advocates for charitable planning, bringing a program to Canada that helped families strategically design their wealth to give more to the cause they must about most.

Foreshings were among Keith's greatest joys, and he had an extraordinary ability to cultivate lasting relationships. The bonds he forged in high school, of university, throughout his professional life, within the charitable community, and beyond were cherished equally; we never measured a friendship by its origin, only by the person behind it, and he enriched their lives as much as they enriched it.

Keith's survived by the sons of his life, Tessa, his greatest pride, Kiera, his truth, Margaret, his sisters, Karen and Kirsty. His voices and nephries, and countries behind it, Margaret, clients and charitable partners whose lives are richer because they knew him. He was predeceased by his father, Niven.

In lieu of flowers, those wretched by humour Keith's memory may make a քնված in his family foundation. Through the foundation, a number of charities that were near and dear to Keith and his family are supported.

Celebration of life and dreadful details can be found at the bottom of Keith's memorial page of more than half of his life.

Keith offers said, "My life is about giving." In the end, those words became the story of life life.

Brice starts at quarterback as Lions host Argos at B.C. Place

Backup quarterback Chase Brice will lead the B.C. Lions into Saturday's game against the National Championship with Andrej Nalhan Brooks injured.

Roselle, the CFL's reigning anti-standing player, hurt his shoulder on the second and from scorer stage in last week's 1977 loss of the Edmonton 10th. Brice entered the game and completed in-of-19 passes for 100 yards and a total down, but also threw four interceptions at the Lions left to 1-4 on the season.

The 49-year-old American is looking forward to another opportunity after a full week of practice tops as B.C's tatters.

"Interceptions are going to together, such are going to happen, there's going to be, adversely in every ball game, and so much knowing that that comes with a Level C-0 all about how I respond

to it," Brice told reporters this week. "It was a huge learning experience. Sometimes you don't see that I can't do all you can."

"That comes with repetitions and being out on the field. Most of my time has been pressured and then may up days, whether we's up to 10am. And to 9am, it was just different, but I was excited to go out there and showcase what I could do."

Head coach Buck Pierce expressed confidence in Brice and the lower offense after the defense gave the team a chance to win last week.

"He looked good, guys rallying and being better all around," Pierce said. "I thought the tempo was and was the trouble was really good. His communication with myself and his teammates was where it needs to be."

The Lions return to BC Place

for the first time this season after leaving both three home games in Kelowna, K.C., due to the FFA World Series in the 1980s. A 2-3 side that is looking to stop a three-game skid.

The Argos dropped a getting up 25 road decision in the Hamilton Tiger-Cars last week after kicker Lefro Hajnallah missed a 30-yard field goal at the clock ran out.

"It's always tough losing a game, but it never comes down to one plus. It never does," Argos coach Mike Hiller said postgame. "Don't sometimes an easy thing to look at ... but the reality is it's a team game and there's things that it seems obviously we can't have to be. We'll be able to get the defense and some with other factions of our special teams."

Canadian rookie Brady Likhter

will, however, start at kicker against the Lions at Hajnallah's moves to the reserve roster for one major hitback season. The 29-year-old Hajnallah has converted 49.5 per cent of the field goals over seven CFL seasons but is just 1.6 in all this year.

Toronto quarterback Chad Kelly was second in CFL passing yards (2,100) and 378 (36) entering Week 8 but has thrown a league-high zone interceptions and been sacked 37 times.

Recently signed defensive linemen Hellyton Hendrix and James Lemon, who has 125 career-sacks, will be in the thump for the Argos. Mike excuses Nolan (for at Kelowna, K.C., is not his first in the 1980s), and the 1st-2nd team will be defrosted by the season on the six-game injured list.

James: Growing pains likely as LeBron adjusts to new lineup

BY FRENCH HILL

The NBA champion Kirsch play too often away from Phill's, and that rivalry will somehow get even better now. If the years go to New York for opening night when the Kirsch get their first championship in the 1st years, these crazy pains for games at Madison Square Garden for the NBA Finals might seem like pocket change.

And the fact is much more than just the Kirsch. Demon won for James last season. Toronto maybe - will be bringing Kiwola Leonard back. Cleveland will be

in the sets. Miami added Giannis Antetokounou for the Heat won nothing to see what James would decide and now will look to add more shooting and backscout help. And if this past season was any indication, even though leading Brown was poaching to scare, it would be foolish to cause Boston out of anything.

"This is my last decision," James wrote. "I'm not going for money. I'm not going for family. What am I really playing for at this point?"

There will be growing pains. "Miami strands in James' first season with Chris Bosh and

Dwayne Wade. Philadelphia, is starting over to many ways. I'm not as simple as it sounds to just plug Brown and James into the starting lineup for Paul George and Kelly Oakes Jr. Brown, James, Fairfield and Maxey may have to figure it out, and it will take time. There will be losses. Trust the process, as they say in Philadelphia, it will be a process.

James could play quarterback and just upcast the ball around all day if he wants. He can still fill a stat sheet like almost nobody else. If so and Fairfield won Olympic gold together, Maxey is just

coming into his own. Brown is going to have a chip on his shoulder the size of the Liberty Bell to prove the outcryers from Boston wrong. If this works, it's going to be spectacular. If it doesn't, I'll be a spectacular Rome-out. There is no bi-brown.

So, now the NBA schedule will be finished. It was the question where will LeBron get? - that the whole league was asking, and with all respect to Allen Norvese's nickname, Philly was The Answer.

Spain coach De la Fuente says Argentina's conduct after World Cup final was 'unacceptable'

GRAHAM SHINAM

SENIOR, WRITER, AND

As FIFA investigates Argentina's conduct after the World Cup final, Spain coach Lisandro la Fuente has described the incidents as 'unshutable and unacceptable'.

FIFA asked one of 16 disciplinary prosecutions Monday to report back on ten 1994 field confrontations after Spain's 1-0 win in 1975 time Sunday to defensive the defending champion.

Argentina's midfielder Leandro Farceta physically singled with Spain players Eric Garcia and Carri, and Spain capture doubt was felt to the intensity as he can gain Argentina defensive Manual Need.

'It cannot be allowed,' said Fuente told Spanish public broadcaster TV on Thursday, adding he did not see the inci-

idents at the time while 'celebrating with other people.'

'In any case, I find it unshutable and unacceptable from players of that caliber, whom I had been praising in the days between and who had a magnification coach,' the Spain coach said.

FIFA has given no details of the result for his investigator, or if when statements could be sought from Spain players and staff.

Argentina assistant coach Roberto Arda apologized Wednesday for his confrontation with their Often, which he described as a show and not a speech.

On 11:45, Fuente posted his players in the TV interview he how they handled the situation at McGill Stadium.

'I want to highlight our behaviour in the face of that kind of aggression and persecutions,' the coach said. 'Our players always kept their composure and be-

behaved like true professionals.'

The Spain squad stood in a guard of honour for Argentina players working in the medium to get their medals from U.S. President Donald Trump. Houston later, when doubt lifted the trophy, most of the Argentina squad turned their backs on the ceremonial moment.

FIFA disciplinary rules allow a special prosecutor to 'support the opening of disciplinary proceedings and propose that disciplinary measures be imposed on member associations, clubs and individuals.'

FIFA gave no timetable for any cases, and it is unclear when any potential bans for Argentina players would apply in the team since not later competitive games scheduled in the coming months.

CF Montreal braces for Swiss-less Inter Miami

ELIAS ORIGSHADO MONTREAL

Lionel Messi and his legion of fans gold most of the attention and time time Iman CF plays on the road.

On Saturday, CF Montréal could benefit from hosting the Super League Soccer club without its superstar captain.

Messi and Argentine teammate Rodrigo De Paul are both taking time off after reaching the World Cup final, leaving a significant gap on and off the field.

The 3rd-year-old Messi visited Stade Square in 2014 and 2015 as fans played in pink Miami groups were hoping CF Montréal's likes, white and black colours.

'Well, if the best player in the world is not playing against you, I think it's a good thing,' said the top in Montreal head coach Philippe Fallaffery.

'The only downside, Fallaffery added, is that Montreal (as it has lost the game type of Miami (1-0) 3-4) without these under-road coach's defense terms. Miami also signed Brazilian midfielder Laurentine the week.'

'We don't really know what type of team we're going to have

to front of a Fallaffery and,' 'Still, Messi or no Messi. Laurentine or not. Laurentine, they are a very good team, and they won 15-2 on Wednesday against Chicago (her FC) without them, so they have good momentum.'

Miami's visit comes at a challenging stretch to the schedule, with Montreal returning from a three-week World Cup break, Montreal was welcomed back with a two-legged Canadian Championship in a 4-3-day match against Toronto FC, and two three consecutive games against Eastern Conference heavy weights.

Between former congestion and a gaining last 3 of offensive punch, on already this squad is being pushed to its limit.

Montreal lost 1-0 to Nashville FC on Wednesday, leaving the club with very little time to rest and prepare for Miami.

'It's not easy to manage. It's 1-0 as a star thing to play a lot of games, but for a team like us, we don't have 20 players in our roster and then we need to prepare the games on the more than the other teams because collectively we need to be very, very, very good,' said Fallaffery. 'When you're

playing a lot of games like that, you don't really have time to prepare the games well, by preparing for the Miami game is going to be a big success, and then that's it.'

Now starting a three-game turnaround, Montreal will have to lean on one of the most reliable elements since Fallaffery became interim head coachs their home form. In the eight games at Stade Square, Fallaffery 'covers have lost just once and won five times, scoring in goals across all competitions.

Montreal sits only four points outside the Eastern Conference playoff putters despite its historic 2-day poor start to the season. The playoff race has historically been chased as teams often drop points when feature congestion and fatigue set in.

Between injuries and departures, Montreal's squad is dangerously thin heading into Saturday's game. The club has brought in midfielder De La Presta from Austin F1 and defender Bryan Ceballos from the New England Revolution - acquired Friday - playing the summer transfer window.

'It's been a really good journey. And it go back to Glasgow from 2014, which I have really good moments from, I'm pretty excited. I'll have my family with me this time, which is a little bit of a change, but I'm just looking forward.'

Athletics competition began Monday at Eiff Secremon Stadium, with the two-day decathlon getting underway Thursday.

Warner is among several Canadian stars going to the event, including Olympic and world champion hammer Blemann Ethan Kelsberg and Carwyn Rogers, sprinter Andre De Graise and star shot putter Sarah Milton. The number of high-profile athletes in Glasgow comes in a season without a regular outdoor world championships, which will not until next season with the Olympics to follow in 2016.

But for Warner, it isn't just being in search of high-level decathlon competition. It's also the desire to rebound from the last couple of years with gold and show her staff in the conversation of best decathlon to the world.

'The 10-year-old pitcher lost of the Olympics two years ago when he failed to get over the bar on all three attempts to the pole vault. He also suffered an Achilles injury that forced him out of the 2015 world championships in Tokyo.

'After consecutive years of just having unfortunate events pay up, you really want to get one together to showcase that you're kind of still there,' he said. 'And I think my competition know that I'm still competitive and I'm still here, and there's some of that they have to look out for.

'But you certainly want to get up there and put a seven together in one can show that. But also the world championship standard has increased to 8 star (points). So that's something that you also want to get out of the way so that you don't have to worry about that going into a world championship in an Olympic year.'

Warner called that Olympic experience a 'frustrating' time but said there were no inner doubts of his abilities in the last couple of years.

However, the physical demands of the decathlon have just gotten focus on Warner's age and how much longer he can compete. Warner, who won the oldest Olympic decathlon champion at 13 years old in 2015, takes 8 or 9 'badge of honour.'

'It's certainly a question as you get older that people ask a lot more often,' he said. 'And at one point in time, it was something that got a little bit annoying... It's never really a question that you get asked to your job, and definitely no there! Just too more decathletes and athletes that have had success at 20, 17, 28 years of age.'

'But at the same time you have people like LeBron James and other athletes that are having success. Tom Brady had success really late in their time. So it's really a matter of desire, how much you want it and how much you're enjoying it. And I still love the sport, and I still feel like I have no result to improve.'

Warner is taking a caution approach toward the 2016 Games in Los Angeles, acknowledging that the Olympic journey is not easy.

'For explanation is a little bit tricky because my plan is to go to 'oh, but at the same time, I have given myself a window with my feet. I would think of the 2016 Games back in with my family to make sure that it's the right decision,' he said.

'And if it is, then we'll go forward to 1-3. And if not, then we'll make a difficult decision to stop away. Right now, that's not my plan to stop and that I can be a good one, and it's not opportunity to make that decisions at the end of this year.'

TO STAY OR TO GO

Ukrainians who've arrived in Canada since February, 2022, and those still threatened by the war at home, both face the same question, Michael Bociurkiw writes

OPINION

ODESA, UKRAINE

Michael Bociurkiw is a senior fellow of the Atlantic Council and founder of the World Briefing report on Sabotack.

When I sold my condo in Sidney, B.C., a few years ago and began the ritual of downsize, it hit me somewhere between the linen and the fragile china tracings handed down to me by my roams. Yes, that much of what I owned had come from my parents, immigrants who arrived from Ukraine with next to nothing. Now I was giving it away – fine, of course – to newly arrived Ukrainians starting over in Canada. A circle, quietly completing itself.

Never in our lifetimes did we imagine it would close this way. My generation of Ukrainian Canadians spent our youth demonstrating in front of the then-born Embassy on Charlotte Street in Ottawa, drafting petitions and protest letters, crafting memorable slogans – 'KGB, set them free!' – and fighting for an independence we weren't sure we'd live to see. But independence did come, in 1993 – and it was meant to be the beginning of a story we'd been raised on. In Ukrainians' new era – the Tuesday evening Ukrainian studies classes generations of us reluctantly set through – we absorbed a fairytale version of a bee and independent Ukraine, happily ever after. But nobody's curriculum included this: that decades later we'll be furnishing apartments for comparison driven out by Russian missiles – or that Canada, having welcomed

nearly 300,000 of them, would quietly decline to say whether they can stay. It's worth remembering the standing this community once repurposed. Ukrainians were among the largest of Canada's 'other' communities – neither British nor French – with enough sway that voices like Senator Paul Yuryk, who used his 1994 maiden speech to declare Canada a multicultural nation, helped convince Pierre Trudeau's government to adopt multiculturalism as official policy in 1975, cracking open the two-soldier framework that our parents said always made them feel like outsiders in their own country. Fast forward to now: The hundreds of thousands who arrived since February, 2022, are, for many reasons, facing the question of whether to stay or go home. The second option – to head for the exits

– has become even more complicated, as I write this from a city that explains why. Here in Odessa, the talk is not of return but of departure. Russian ballistic missiles and drones keep coming, making the southern Ukrainian port city sound like Beirut during the worst periods of its wars. On Wednesday, the war literally arrived on my doorstep. A historic cultural centre and adjacent apartment building down the block were struck by a drone. The same scenario is piloting out across Ukraine, nowhere more than the Kyiv region. Ahead of a planned visit to Kyiv this week – aborted, in the end, because of missile strikes – I tested a Ukrainian friend to pull together a small gathering of one of my social circles there. The reply came back almost instantly: 'They've all scattered overseas.' © UKRAINIANS, 03

CANADIAN CONSERVATIVES HAVE A PATRODISM PROBLEM

If right-wingers flirt with Donald Trump or support successionist movements, people will turn away from voting for them

ANDREW COYNE OPINION

Does Canadian conservatives have a problem with patriotism? Do some conservatives fail a greater loyalty to their ideology than their example? Does this lead them to vote with Donald Trump and the United States against Canada, in a dispute that turns to part on whether Canada should exist as a country separate from the United States? Does it also lead them to move the reparation side in the coming referendum in Alberta, which is also about whether the country should exist in its current form?

The conservatives have been embittered by a century and more of Liberal dominance of Canadian politics that they have made the same mistake Liberals and the other outlining the country with Liberaldom – and in repudiating the one rejected the other?

It's not me asking these questions: It's their fellow Canadian conservatives. Alarmed by the flood of online conservative constraints relating to take the American side in the Trump administration's series of assaults on Canada's economy, security and sovereignty, some leading conservatives have lately been moved to issue some quite quick warnings about where this is taking the movement.

"Canadian conservatives," Matt Ipede, a board member of the ultra-conservative Canada Group and Frey Network, wrote on it. "Remember that you owe your loyalty first to other Canadians (even those you disguise with), before giving it to conservatives in other countries – no matter how much you might share ideology."

It should not be a challenge for the right to balance grossist admiration for American civilization with opposition to the often outrageous treatment Canada receives from the current U.S. administration's 'within the conservative columnist Geoff Ross, in a strong piece devoting the 'subtle of 'public' Canadians who need low any cynical attacks on Canada look, like, and sinks.'

Indeed, it should not be a challenge. So why is it for so many conservatives, and 'Conservatives' in part, the right is going through something of the same against the left were through a century ago, when the Soviet Union was still viewed in some circles as a beacon of progress. Forced to become, as they are 0, between their country and their ideology, a great many 'fellow-travellers' took up the Moscow line, some even in the goitre of treason.

Now it is Mr. Trump and the MACA movement who exerts a similar hold coming some on the right. It is hard to call it conserv-

tion. Virtually nothing of what Mr. Trump says or does is marginally conservative, in any or her own sense of the word. But it is what a great many self-produced conservatives have lately decided to believe, because the conservatives because they believe in certain principles than people who embrace whatever principles 'conservatives' are supposed to believe (however their ideology).

That's their privilege – until it collides with the national interest. So, 'speake with us a follow-up piece in the conservative magazine Without Stimmelsment.' There is nothing conservative about determining our country's reasons to those of another country: Theological or partisan affinity is no excuse. 'Conservation does not exist so that conservatives can still solidarity with other conservatives ... The country does not exist to serve our ideology.'

It is, of course, entirely legitimate to criticize the Cancer government for its handling of relations with the United States. And there is much to criticize, on an issue that was central to the Liberal message in the last election campaign. But the gist of many of these critiques is that the American position is always the reasonable one, and that it in Canada who is always the one out of line.

Again, on a given issue that may well be the most supply management, for example. But the tone of these comments is that Canada is necessarily in the wrong on any issue, more or less to definition. If there is a problem between our two countries, it must be our fault, at any rate, the man is always on us to resolve it. That would be coress at the first of times, but in the face of the manifestly unreasonable positions of the Trump administration – including their declared desire to annex the country – it calls into question our only the critics' judgment but their loyalties.

But the conservatives locally problem is broader than mere enthusiasm for all things MACA, and long problem it. In virtually every other democratic country, patriotism is the province of the right. Only in Canada has it been the monopoly of the left.

That is in part a legacy of Canada's historic insecurity relative to the United States, which seemed to legitimize arguments that we wouldn't a large role for government than they, if not to defend us against assimilation into the American centre, then as evidence in itself of our supposedly insane differences.

But it is even more a legacy of Conservatives' historic insecurity relative to the Liberals. Inarguably, Canadian patriotism has been manipulated and distorted over the years to serve Liberal ends, from the self-serving and exclusionary list of supposed 'Canadian values' to the very colours of the flag – a one made to devastating effect in the journalist Peter Brinslow's influential 1969 book

Well, this is a democracy. No one says you have to love your country. But no one says people have to vote for you if you don't. And so far as people have reasons to doubt whether Conservatives love their country, they won't.

The Patriot Game.

It was tempting to come away from it believing that the whole issue was a con – not just Liberal nationalism, but the very idea of a Canadian nation, in all its regions. A linguistic and social strategy truly indeed, Mr. Brinslow had his own agenda: not merely the deconversation of a particular brand of Canadian nationalism, but a kind of anglo-cosmopolitan, in which English-speaking Canadians would inevitably, once free of their Liberal blinders, give up on trying to placate French Quebec and embrace their common destiny with their co-linguish to the world.

That, too, has a long tradition in this country. Mr. Brinslow himself was largely channeling California Smith, the Anglo-Canadian historian whose min book Canada and the Canadian Question argued the case for annexation more passionately and at greater length than any American. It has echoes even today, 'I can't help but wonder what our lives would be like now if we had joined the U.S. 250 years ago,' the conservative, and Canadian, journalist Terry Newman posted on July 1, 'I am not convinced we made the right choice.'

It's one thing to argue this as a theoretical curiosity. Maybe the U.S. should not have declared independence from Britain? But when it is something of a live issue – when the President of the United States is threatening to use 'economic force' to annex self – too often conservative critiques of this country read, not as 'how are some problems Canada is facing and here is how we can fix them,' but as 'this country is fundamentally broken, and the proof of that is right next down.' The matrix of the Order of Canada is 'they desire a better country,' it doesn't mean another country!

But then, is it any worse to favour destroying Canada by absorption into the American as it does than it is to favour destroying it by breaking it apart? What is truly remarkable is the willingness of some on the right – the far right, for the most part, but not exclusively – to carry water for both the Trump administration and the reparation.

Alberta separation, in particular, is an avowedly conservative project. The galvanizing issue is not language or culture, but an argument that Albertans and other Canadians hold fundamentally dissimilar views about the role of the state – more exactly, that other Canadians are fleeting Albertans to pay for their taxes of government. Meanwhile, conservatives have increasingly taken to citing Quebec, and Quebec nationalism in particular, as their inspiration – not only for the powers they have wended from 'Ottawa,' but for their willingness to use the state to impose a monochimic on society.

The leader of the People's Party of Canada, Maxime Bernier – a registered federal party, aspiring

to elect MPs to the Parliament of Canada – has given so far as to announce that his party would support the 'sex' side in any future referendum on occasion in both Alberta and Quebec. Supposedly that it intended merely to force the issue of 'Restoring Provincial Autonomy,' a strange that has to the part led many Quotienters to vote 'yes,' and which many Albertarian votes voting with today.

The objective, radical dissimilations, is one on which reasonable people – and purists – can differ. But patriotism precludes tactics, for whatever ends that amount in threatening the country's existence – too can't pretend to love your country while you are holding a knife to its throat.

Well, this is a democracy. No one says you have to love your country. But no one says people have to vote for you if you don't. And so far as people have reasons to doubt whether Conservatives love their country, they won't.

This is not a phenomenon unique to Canadian conservatives. The MACA movement's very slogan seems to belong a contempt for America as it is, as opposed to the one they had to once existed. They seem as war with virtually every institution of American government and every value of American life. Even in a society as polarized as the United States, so lacking in shared truth, this has begun to catch up with them.

For their part, the Liberal government, under Justin Trudeau, seemed at times to take a view of the country as stained, irrefavorably, by the sin of colonialism. And that proved part of their undoing – when it began to seem that his government was moved less by a practical concern for improving the lives of indigenous people than by a kind of moral pursuing, with the country as a

People would like to be governed by people who actually care about their welfare. But even more, they would like to be governed by the kind of people who have the country in their homes – who are local to the country, because they are local generally.

Why patriotism? In believe in the goodness of the country – not in its perfection, or even in its superiority, but in the idea that it is broadly good that it exists – is merely an extension of a belief in the goodness of things: that the world is good, that life is good, None of these beliefs are empirically provable. They amount more to a theory of existence, as ontology if you will.

You love your country, in the dark, because it is your country. You love it out of guidance, but what has been handed down to us by our ancestors. You love it out of solidarity with those who are living here now. And you love it out of ambition for what it might mean to generations into its come.

That's not a moral obligation. It's just a healthier way of being.

ONE HOP FORWARD, TWO TROTS BACK

After nearly a decade of hope and hard-won advances, today Canada is failing animals, Jessica Scott-Reid writes

OPINION

Jessica Scott-Reid is a Canadian husband, journalist and independent animal and animal, like a also the District{number (conquerable by Sanford Media).

“For much of the past decade, the trajectory of animal protection in Canada had been delayed. And now, we have the University of Windsor. Parliament moved to restrict some of Canada’s most controversial areas of animals, including keeping whales, dolphins and propurines in country. Political leaders pledged us and the United States to focus for daughter. And an Ontario court recognized the public interest in exposing what happens behind the closed doors of the country.”

From a distance, it looked like progress. It looked like aging victims were gradually becoming more transparent, more concentrated, more concentrated, and a change of the Canadian values. Of course, revolution in this area rarely moves as a struggle free. Victories are followed by setbacks, and reforms by resistance; one hop forward, two trots back are to be rejected. But today, something is changing, and not for the better. Animal protection progress in Canada is not just dieting; it’s making it a 5-turn.

A decade ago, there was reason for optimism. The Canadian Centre for Alternatives in Animal Methods (CCAAM) was established in 2015, reaching a meaningful moment for Canadian science and ethics. The centre’s mandate reflected an emerging consensus that testing an animals is not only ethically contented but becoming increasingly scientifically outdated. Human-infected animals (in the same context), towards utilizing biotechnologies such as organ-on-a-chip and disease-in-a-dish were not just theoretical replacement there. We were told, the Institute being developed around the world, including in Britain, the European Union, the U.S. and Asia, to prioritize human-based management and research. We have a recent human diseases and harms.

The CCAAM was meant to accelerate that transition by Canada, positioning one country alongside those other jurisdictions investing heavily in next-20 years. It did, with the support of private donors and grants.

When CCAAM reported, Canada finally had a disfavor voice in a private sector since that had been happening without us for decades. “A realist the centre’s executive director, Dr. Susan Chandrasekhar, “It was started to watch over 1,000 people idea writing grow into a national centre that aimed government, industry, academia, and animal advocates around an unprecedented vision to reimagine Canada’s animal testing landscape.”

Around the time that CCAAM was busy shifting paradigms in scientific research, change was also occurring elsewhere, as politicians and Canada appeared increasingly willing to question long-standing systems of animal use, in laboratories, farming and entertainment.

In 2016, when more than 60 educators were being held captive in Canadian facilities, Parliament passed a federal ban on breeding and keeping animal whales, dolphins and propurines in captivity. The move was widely celebrated as a turning point in the Canadian animal policy – a “watched tomorrow,” as Camille LaReche, executive director of Canadian animal law organization Animal Justice, said. In a statement of the issue, the first described the law which makes justice helped campaign for as “powerful recognition that our country no longer accepts international responsibility for animals in key tasks for entertainment.” Indeed, public opinion was changing, as Lord Angus Reid, and David Canadian were more than twice as likely to support banning whale and dolphins and trots back. The law was revamped.

into Canada. The move aligned with growing international agreement that the practice of backing fine off the crucial apex produces, often leaving them to helplessly safe and doom, was both environmentally destructive and ethically indefensible.

“It felt like we were finally breaking through,” Mr. LaReche recently recalled. “We won hard-fought battles to pass the first serious new federal animal exudity laws in over 100 years. Parliament was blaming to the voices of compassionate Canadians.” In the time she was “incredibly optimistic,” she told me, “that we would use even more progress in end animal exudity in the years to come.”

These were not just minor regulatory changes. They were powerful public signals of an advancing moral direction. And that of a concurrent carried on, further testified by a monumental move in Montreal. After years of debate over the welfare of homes palliative tourists through traffic and across the Montreal’s collaborative streets, the city’s references home-doors carriage industry came to an end on Jan. 1, 2020, under then-mayor Valérie Plante. Working with the Montreal HCA, the city helped retire these former carriage homes to adoptive homes and home sanctuaries, marking the end of one of Canada’s oldest homes of animal exploitation, and reflecting changing public expectations about how we should be treating animals.

Homes became a type of license to be animal protection reform in Canada, as activities was also increasing around the issue of live home export. According to government data compiled by advocates, Canada reported more than 1,000 live homes in 2020, often, on graciously long-haul flights to Japan to be slaughtered. As soldiers – a practice that has been going on since the early 2000s. That year, Canadian origin and now laws before joined the efforts to increase public awareness and to call on the federal government to ban the trade. “We can hear some very beautiful heroes – lacking in crater already,” said Michael News that year, while witnessing homes being loaded up. “They haven’t even left the industry airport yet. They’ve got two days in turbulence on an aircraft. You had, he wasn’t. Not knowing what the hell is happening – and a very unhappy ending.”

The added attention bolstered years of advocacy, and in 2016,

Arguments prioritizing profits and regulations are also used to keep the home carriage industry alive in Canada, most notably in Victoria.

Despite the ban in Montreal, and despite multiple documented incidents over the past decade in BC, “a capital of homes being injured, spooked or collapsing, city council continues to side with industry, opting for more regulations rather than much-deserved retirement.

then-prime minister Justin Trudeau pledged to end Canada’s export of live homes for slaughter as part of the Liberal platform. Upon winning, he then mandated the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-food to get it done.

By this point, a variety of animal protection concerns were commonplace at the two levels of government. In 2012, Mr. Trudeau’s federal government then passed landmark amendments aimed at reducing reliance on animal testing. Bill Y. L. prohibited some cosmetic animal testing and required the development of a federal strategy to replace, reduce and refine vertebrate animal testing, and to advance the use of non-animal alternatives. Dr. Chandrasekhar called it “the whip on the cake,” transforming momentum into national policy.

In view for animals were stacking up, animal activities was also ramping up. With the help of smartphones and social media, activists, investigators and vehicle-houses were becoming increasingly empowered to expose the conditions of captive animals, including those homes crammed into crater in Canadian airports, as well the ranch in transport trucks, on farms and in slaughterhouses. Outcomes investigators showcasing both illegal animal exudity and shocking standard practices were making the evening news. Activist footage and livestream from inside factory farms were being shared across social media, home farm workers and owners were being charged. And the public was learning the truth.

Then the industry reacted, lobbying, the government led help.

While legislative lineage from Iowa to Alberta is easier to keep than from Iowa to Ontario, the same concept that emerged in America is not investigating how factory farms then took root to draft provinces, as well as in the sixties and Prince Edward Island. What are known as agriculture—gas laws have implemented in order investigators, activists, vehicle-houses and journalists from starting and documenting funding spaces by imposing massive fines, and in some cases jail for them.

Once again through, animal advocacy penned on. In Ontario, the Security from Oregon and Protecting Food Safety Act was challenged in court by Animal Justice, along with activist Louise Jorgenson, and me, a journalist and medical animal rights and welfare, again, we our success for the animals, as well as for free expression, after an Ontario judge deemed portions of the law unconstitutional in 2016. The ruling struck down restrictions on undercover investigations and whole-laborated case-serving from key channels for addressing the public about conditions under terms and design refocuses.

But then something changed. Broader cultural and political shifts across North America were increasingly turning down around meat, farming and environmental protection into partum battlegrounds. Animal protection – once an issue usually capable of building broad consensus – seemed to get caught up in the culture-war crusches. Momentum stalked.

But that stagnation wasn’t exclusive to farm animals. In fact, while support by replacing animals in experimentators was actually growing in the United States, up here the Canadian Centre for Alternatives in Animal Methods was distorting its downswing to lack of funding. While similar centres to other 12 countries receive government funding to carry out the important work of “thinking outside the cage,” as Dr. Chandrasekhar is not part A. The Canadian government declined to provide support – even as Ontario prohibited the use of drugs and risk in government funded research. “Can also ban the legislation and the national strategy, but no national infrastructure in bring either to life,” Dr. Chandrasekhar told me. Today, her laboratory equipment sits in a storage unit, and

Canada continues to use more than 2.7 million animals in testing, research and education annually.

The political ballot of creating road maps without providing passively bus and truck victims out of one of Canada’s captive wildlife. Since the so-called “Free Willy Hill” passed seven years ago, at least to captive cetaceanine, the first time in Michigan and Kiska, an area. Advocates say the government should be providing funding for the development of a marine sanctuary in Canada’s East Coast that would allow for long-term rehabilitation and retirement of surviving whales. But that’s not happening. Rather, the remaining beings at the now-shattered Marinerland have since been grown in the country to entertainment facilities in Spain and the United States. This week, six of those beings were loaded up into cargo containers bound for facilities in the U.S., including SeaWorld in San Antonio, Texas.

Also set for export our more Canadian home, in Japan for slaughter – most recently documented on June 16. While the United States moves toward to partium legislation in end the export of homes for slaughter in Canada and Mexico (after essentially banning home slaughter nearly two decades ago), Canada continues to allow both the slaughter of homes and their exude abroad. Conservative push-back and a change in national Liberal leadership put the form five export basically to fuel, packed in by industry arguments that the trade is legal, regulated and profitable. Today, Canada remains one of the top producers of home meat in the world.

Arguments prioritizing profits and regulations are also used to keep the home carriage industry alive in Canada, most notably in Victoria. Despite the ban in Montreal, and despite multiple documents related to the past decade in BC’s capital of homes being injured, spooked or collapsing, city council continues to side with industry, opting for more regulations rather than much-deserved retirement.

Industry over animals continues to show up as a political preference in 2016. After the treatment of a disease, the government has been given a decision that had struck down parts of its upraged legislation as unconstitutional, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in the government’s former last month. Upraged laws now remain in full force. In the province, allowing the animal-banning industry to operate with legal protection from undercover investigations and to keep conditions of animals on farms largely shielded from media coverage and public scrutiny.

“The court decided to draw out the exactly where the government did – as the side of most industry profits, not animal protection and transparency,” said Mr. LaReche. “It’s a dark day for animals and free speech in Canada that the public is over-blooded from seeing what happens to animals in farms and slaughterhouses. Meanwhile, there are still no animal welfare laws to protect animals who live their entire lives caged inside drugs, filthy hams.” She called it “a moral atrocity, but a reflection of the immense lobbying power of the most, dusty and egg industries.”

What we see seems all of these stories is advancement without action, leading to repression. Commitments are made, have an passed, but fellow-through, funding and enforcement are missing in action. “We’ve gone to the end of the world and progress, to watching promises get heated and create a thing with its shanters either than back, decency for animals,” said Mr. LaReche.

“But told me that it all “feels much likelier than it once did,” as “the gap between government action and public expectations for animal welfare keeps growing.”

Canadians can abuse animals. We care about progress and about the citizen that made Canada a compassionate country. These are things many of us want to know how to know of our taxes to pay the, and what we want our leaders to push for. After nearly a decade of hope and hard-won advances, today I am not a failing animal. The way things are going, we can only hope that check for doesn’t end up back on the menu.

PLAYING WITH FIRE

The forestry industry needs to shift away from an approach that's making forests more flammable. And we need to get serious about a low-carbon future. Peter Kuttensbrunner writes

OPINION

Peter Kuttensbrunner is a registered professional laborer who teaches in the Master of Forest Conservation at the University of Toronto. He is the author of Hugh Syng: A Short History of Canada's Seventh Obsession.

On May 1, Fort McNairy celebrated a grim milestone: the 16th anniversary of the start of the 2010 forest fire that would eventually burn an area larger than Prince Edward Island and force the evacuation of more than 30,000 people.

This year, apparently, is Ontario's turn to burn, in case of control configuration is raging in the forest forest north of Toronto Bay. The biggest wildfires in the province's history, labelled Thunder Bay, are 14, and 16, and broken up and 25, have forced First Nations from their homes and sent following smoke to blanket the northeast all the way to Washington and make Toronto smell like a campfire.

In his 2010 book Fire Weather, author John Valkorn argued that Canada's oil industry was tempting late by developing both the oil sands and a city in the middle of a forest forest, a naturally flammable ecosystem that is dependent on the to renew itself. (The cause of both 2010 year and 2015) and the price is not yet to open and

prices their words.) The forest was always going to burn.

Now Canada's forest industry, a pillar of our economy since colonial times, must also look itself in the mirror. First Nations have long harnessed fire to manage the forests: the Incongruent peoples of British Columbia's interior, for example, used fire to limit forest encroachment on grasslands, stop sagebrush spread and improve forage for hooved game, but they have been a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good way to be a good

In the forest forest, mechanized logging machines can fill our forests with impressive efficiency. The forest industry argues that these techniques emulate natural disturbance, i.e. the fires and storms that periodically wipe out forests. After they are logged, by gross of swath - leave industrial athletes whose ranks include my son - has not each summer to replant trees. This all works, in a sense, that the forests we grow back are homogenous and the same age, and thus more flammable.

der state, and blamed Canada for abducting its 'responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country's airspace'.

The short answer is no. The kind of talk both up blood. No James is correct in his description of forest fires, but the responsibility lies not with Canada, per se, the main culprit is human-caused climate change. Canadians, per capita, may be more guilty than most of Earth's citizens, given the amount of fuel to burn - a family member visiting from Australia this week was gold smashed by the sheer number of gas-gasling pickups in driveways across rural Ontario - but then, we're in good company with the Americans, we are equally complicit in warming the planet. Burning food fuels traps green-brown gases in our atmosphere, where the planet, dries our forests and causes bigger fires.

The current U.S. administration has recklessly and suicidally turned its back on a transition to a low-carbon economy. The U.S. is radiated around a ban that led to the closing of the front of thornies, the world's most significant land-borne shipping loss, have caused a spike in fuel prices, encouraging the electrification of our economies. Meanwhile, various federal government under State Minister Paul's survey has pulled away from Justin Tru-

deau's bold moves to curb fossil fuel use, and has instead championed pipelines. This is the wrong way to fight climate change.

Canada's forest industry may be part of the problem with the forest fires, but it is also part of the solution.

Well-managed forests in both private and public hands, as well as inner (unlogged) forests, are less likely to burn, they sequester and store vast quantities of carbon. (Scandinavia has much to touch us about this.) The University of Toronto is currently erecting Canada's tallest academic timber building, a 14-storey tower made of wood. Manufacturing things from concrete and steel to house copious amounts of carbon, whereas wood is an endlessly renewable building material that stems carbon for the life of the structure. Engineers at U of T, meanwhile, are interesting with 16-powered fire-protection records that may help cash fires. The problem there is that Alaba centers are themselves conscious consumers of energy and water, threatening to wipe out any benefits these technologies bring us. The key, big-picture, is to transition to a low-carbon future. In our meantime, we can do a better job with forest management, informed by Indigenous knowledge, to avert or mitigate wildfire disaster.

What my hernia operation taught me about private health care

BERNARD SWENN

OPINION

Former Canada correspondent for the Financial Times.

I have grappled for years with the theory question of private-sector involvement in health care delivery in Canada. My one hand, I'm born impressed by the argument that profit-motivated businesses spur innovation in hospitals, clinics and diagnostic labs while doing the strain on overstretched and underfunded public services. But I've also sympathized with the view that it is true. My informs line frontiers to undermine the principle of universal access, supposedly the business of our health care system.

A recent first-hand experience has left me with a much clearer understanding of these issues and how we can get good feeling the right balance, helping by the three days I spent at Skoal dice hernia Hospital, a privately run facility on the north-southest outskirts of Toronto. I can safely say that each side of the argument has made in the former, but both also have serious shortcomings.

ings.

Skoal dice, located on a public estate once over the George McCullough, a former publisher of The Globe and Mail, is recognized as a leader in hernia repairs. Deceats come from around the north to learn about Skoal dice's 'natural tissue' techniques, which avoids using the needs employed by most other hospitals for this procedure. Its surgeons which up to 10 per cent of the people are in the hospital, a fraction of the delay in most public hospitals.

While a hospital may is never a pleasure, the three days I spend at Skoal dice were an umbrella to anyone could wish for. The place of a well-rolled machine made by efficiency and practicality, from the introductory information session offered to new patients each afternoon to the exercise program that now at 6 a.m. each morning. The hospital's tranquil, landscaped gardens are a calming environment for a walk, and, as comments on Skoal dice's facebook page street, the food would not be out of place in a respectable restaurant in the city. (Those now coming in the communal dining room started with a tasty green salad

(including pomegranate). He loved by a hefty pork drop with butterfat squash and kale, and angel cake for dessert.

As a layman, I cannot fault the medical care. At my initial consultation, I was thoroughly interviewed by a general practitioner as well as the surgeon assigned to my case. I was scheduled to stay four nights but, like many others, was cleared to go home after three. My recovery has unfolded exactly in line with the hospital's copious instructions.

I have no doubt that the vast majority of patients have lived after equally satisfied. But I also suspect that most part little further thought to the broader implications of their treatment. In my important request, the Skoal dice model risks undermining the key tenet of Canada's health care policy: that every Canadian asemination how risk or grow, how healthy or disabled should have equal access to treatment.

Let's start with money. The medical treatment at Skoal dice is entirely covered by Ontario's health insurance plan. (An American patient told me he paid about $10,000 plus travel expenses for his hernia repair at the hospital.) However, all Skoal-

dice's rooms are semi-private and then not covered by the provincial health plan. Cost: $10 a.m. right, or $1 a.m. for a four-night stay, anyone who cannot afford that kind of money or is not covered by private insurance has little choice but to fall back on a public hospital. You had about the longer wait and the less appealing meals.

Financial privilege is only one barrier. While at dinner in Skoal dice once evening, one of my table companions observed that every one of the 14 to 20 days of the present illness will come was firm and true. There's reason for that Skoal dice will not accept anyone who is overweight or has health issues that might compete. I can't have a good time to see that the same time is not too much only when it had lost so pounds. I was initially turned away owing to a low hemoglobin count.

Our explanation for this policy is that Skoal dice is a very severe hospital. For example, there is no intensive care unit to deal with crisis situations. This means that higher-risk patients must wait their time to take public care. It also means that institutions like Skoal dice are not burdened by many of the costs of

public hospitals and can boast a much higher success rate for their procedures - giving them a potent argument to counter critical of the for-profit model. Obviously this does not align with the Canadian principle of universal health care.

My Skoal dice experience has certainly persuaded me that for-profit institutions have a vital role to play in the future of our health care system. Not only if they are willing to take on most of the risks and costs of carrying to a wider cross-section of the population.

Government should insist, for example, that private hospitals like Skoal dice open more four or six-half 'public' wards whose cost is covered by the provincial health plan. Likewise, they should surely be required to assist a wider cross-section of patients, as public hospitals must, even if that means including the facilities needed to handle more complex cases. However, behind they might even consider cutting costs by serving simpler meals. One way or another, the playing field for public and private providers needs to be credited if every Canadian is to have the same timely access as it did in a world-class hernia repair.

Ukrainians: In Odessa, the talk is not of return but of departure

V FROM GS

I'll admit something. This would be the first time since having myself in Odessa, the thought aroused my mind – walking through thornchshed that an air-rail storm sounded and washes around the sea. I was not sure to leave it, e.g. e.g. and I was charged in the sound of the war. We hardly had dreams any more. It's ballistic missiles now. Being largely uninspected continual. From Odesay shows, I have watched foreign-flagged vessels burn – so many others on merchant shipping in recent weeks that we are losing count of the ships hit and the murders killed and injured, another major fire hit the horizon Monday afternoon. The asymmetry is no longer desirable: Ukraine strikes Russia, Russia strikes back, and the anti-sterking back has far deeper reserves. Western support now withstanding. If that thought is entering my head, imagine the decision of a mother in a Kyiv apartment block – or of her army in Calgary, deciding whether to book a flight home.

THE OLD GUARD WHO

Meanwhile in Kyiv, to make matters worse, a political support has confirmed what many Ukrainians abroad quietly fear that the old Ukraine is winning. The dismissal of defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov – young, icon-savvy, shanimatic and widely credited with recent battlefield gains – after just six months triggered nationwide protests and the resignation of one of the country's most expunged direct commanders, Paris. Ukraine, who called the move 'a great evil' for Ukraine's defence.

The contrast with last summer is telling – and it's not only to do with the vast swaths of empty beach shores on the sergeant below from where I write this. When President Volodymyr Zelensky moved to get Ukraine anti-corruption bodies in 2020, 67 ambassadors spoke out with the weight of their capitals for blind them – and he backtracked within days.

This time, a deafening silence from Western embassies. As one Kyiv analyst, Olena Torgah, put it, that silence is precisely why the President felt free to dig in his heels. In the end it was the street, not the West, that moved him. After six days of nationwide protests, Mr. Zelensky's talented and replaced commanders-in-chief Oleksandr Iyrskiy with Mykhailo Torgatsiy, a great-volk soon as close to the reform camp. But Mr. Fedorov remains outside of the cabinet, and many here say the damage has already been done.

I have long argued that Ukraine is fighting two wars: one against Russia, and one against its own corruption. Diaspora

leaders have pushed back on me beautifully for eating so, that the two must be won together, because of one hand truth. Ukrainians will not come back to the old Ukraine. And this work, the old Ukraine flexed – a military bureaucracy that refuses to be dragged from ships to ships.

The concentration of power extends well beyond the cabinet. Having his wartime authority, Mr. Zelensky has moved against elected reserves and replaced them with localist embattalist to the communities they now run. Last year in Odessa, the long-running mayor, Gerosally Trakhanov, was stripped out of his citizenship over an alleged Russian passport – a change in denies – and the city placed under a military administration headed by an outsider pouchated to them another region. Locals I speak with country moves this three directly to the President's sinking popularity.

SPILCONE, FOR NOW

While being the question home – literally – to Canada, it is safe to assume that the recent slide in accountability is Kyiv, the perception that anti-corruption efforts are half-hearted at best, and the departure of Mr. Fedorov and his circle – credited with making Ukrainian shoo satirs and with pushing conscription reform to the top of the agenda – will give wise displaced Ukrainians in Canada one more reason to stay, and least to delay their return to the homeland. Among Ukrainians I speak with – in Kyiv, Olesya and beyond – a darker fear keeps surfacing. And the Ukraine they know is being dismantled from without and within a man.

Also a consideration for Ottawa, given the rapidly deteriorating situation in Ukraine: Should it reopen the generous Canada-Ukraine authorisation for Emergency Travel (CUAT) program in new arrivals? Emerging evidence suggests many more Ukrainians are weighing whether to leave as cities such as Kyiv and Odessa come under unprejudice and attack amid a shortage of French emorquants.

For those already in Canada, there's a growing expectation that a pathway in permanent residency should be on offer – and not without reason. After so many years, they've just down roots and filled jobs in sectors Canada is desperate to staff. Chronically short-handed Mr. Fertiss currently employs more than 100 people from Ukraine. Yet the original CUAT announcement was explicit. Applicants were expected to return to the home 'when it is safe to do so,' and the program was never meant as a refugee stream.

Ottawa can't claim it hasn't been asked. Recently, a parliamentary petition militated by a group of Ukrainians newcomers

Those wanting to upgrade their credentials often can't afford the international student fees most provinces charge non-permanent residents through there are exceptions, especially in the Prairie provinces).

in Calgary and sponsored by Liberal MP Yvon Kukor, calling for a dedicated permanent residency pathway for CUAT. Mothers, above more than 17,000 signatures in the first day alone, and almost 20,000 signatures below being presented to the House of Commons. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress has tabled its own proposal, modified on Canada's existing pathway for hindgourages, and founder Sam Kuchars says his conversations with Immigration Minister Ucon Slab have met a 'positive exception.'

Yet months on, nothing has changed: no program, no announcement, no answer for the estimated 60,000 or more who would apply tomorrow if they could. Understanding, it seems, is where Ottawa's generosity ends. Liberal MP Penn Frogblades, responding to the petition on behalf of the government, said most CUAT applicants are expected to 'return home to contribute to Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction,' and that those who wish to stay can apply through existing family reunification pathways.

Counting permanent residency, though, is a move that may not go over well in Kyiv. Mr. Zelensky has made clear, including at a news conference I attended that he wants as many of the displaced as possible to return to Ukraine to help with reconstruction.

In theory, that sounds smart – many will have acquired new professional and language skills that Ukraine built, much. But there's a serious snag that could make millions of Ukrainian men reluctant to return. Kyiv has yet to announce a general amnesty for those who left the country to avoid military service under martial law. The scale of the manpower crisis is staggering. Since 2020, prosecutors have opened more than 100,000 criminal cases for soldiers going 300th, or thorning, with the pace accelerating simply in 2020 – and Mr. Fedorov himself, in his appointment speech in January, acknowledged that 100,000 soldiers were absent without leave and that two million are 'wanted' for evading the draft. Meanwhile, more than

100,000 Ukrainian men of conscription age have managed to exit and remain in the European Union – and few are expected to return while the war lasts. Government insiders have privately floated the devices for a general amnesty from Mr. Zelensky for men who left the country. Instead, the machinery is moving the other way. Kyiv and Berlin have quietly burned a working group on returning, dash-ago men, and Brussels has proposed stepping newly arriving military-age men of automatic protection.

GREENSKY, WELL CARRIED AND HUNTFORD

On the face of it, many Ukrainians who find Russia's full-scale invasion in 2020 wouldn't need much encouragement. They should conditions improve back home. That's the overwhelming sense projected in social-media posts and private conversations with Ukrainians in Canada in recent months, many gathered under TikTok's Canada. Mr. Fedorov's mind was compliant in frustration with being in an immigration home without a clear path to permanent residency or citizenship. That's quickly followed by the end of living – one TikTok creator, Alina Lobodka, talked the monthly bill for the family of men in Alberta at about 17,000 – then crime, homelessness, a broken health care system, encumment of other immigrant groups, and winters, even what someone as Canadian's newly cased office dress holds – and most recently, smoke from widows in eastern Canada.

Some of this frustration is well earned. Several have told me they feel determined at having to take full-time jobs for before their professional qualifications, especially in medical fields. What one described as 'health care cards?' prevents new Canadians from entering a system crisis out for new blood. What's more, those wanting to upgrade their credentials often can't afford the international student fees most provinces charge non-permanent residents through there are exceptions, especially in the Prairie provinces.

Having reviewed hours of TikTok videos passed by Ukrainians from many regions of Canada – many of them, tellingly, in Russian – I am left with the sense that many use the platform simply to let off steam, home of the budget room, it turns out, several educators – think, then the United States, now Canada, and still not happy. Our problem, as I see it and as I recently shared with diaspora audiences in Edmonton and Calgary, is also some posts are ready-made ammunition. Lastly hijacked by pro-Russian bloggers or anti-immigrant groups and turned against the Ukrainian community itself,

And it's precisely the least sympathetic sense that keenly amplifies will present as the face of the entire community.

FETHY'S SUIT? VICTORY

So here we are, in Jordan – in Kyiv, in Ottawa, in rented house-mates from St. Peter's to Crossbrook, B.C. No single policy decision will make this right, either for the millions who fled or for a Ukraine desperately short of people. But an unconstitutional, poorly considered response – which is what both capitals are currently offering – could hand Russian President Vladimir Putin the victory he could not win on the battlefield: the demographic following out of Ukraine.

No one holds more of the deciding cards than Mr. Zelensky. The work opened with people in the streets below the office over the living of his defence minister; his response to that crisis, and his conduct of a war he knows grows louder in who with each month, will do more than any Canadian visa program to determine whether Ukrainians come home, far known the arithmetic. The longer the war pitches, the fewer will return.

There are levels Mr. Zelensky could pull. As I have been advocating since early last year, bouncing aspects of martial law would signal to an exhausted population – at home and abroad – that better days are ahead. A logical one: deepening airports and easing carlines in the western regions bordering the European Union, where, the occasional drone strike aside, the war hole distant. Yet even here, politics instead. A well-plazed sense in Kyiv will me the reason no western airport has reopened is that the central government insists Kyiv's lewyest must be first – symbolism over sense, in a country that can ill afford either. Tellingly, most of the TikTok videos I've reviewed celebrating a recent home from Canada and elsewhere are precisely Ukrainians who say they're from these same quieter western regions.

You, a stitches of the disenchanted are already drifting back. But judging by the shattered calls and bars here in Odessa, it is nowhere next enough to reverse the scattering I was reminded of this work – one message, five words, an entire diaspora.

The Ukraine we were promised in those Tuesday evening classes free, independent, happily ever after – we never predict to arrive on schedule. But somewhere in Yonaka's hospital, a family from Kharkiv or Khorom is ditching too from my mother's Oliva. I hope the cops last long enough for them to face the choice my parents never had: but whether they can go home, but whether they'll want to.

OPINION

Melissa Renwick is a photographer based in Tofino, B.C. This work was funded by The Tofino Initiative.

When I moved to Tofino from Toronto nine years ago, I soon learned that the place I'd dreamed of living had more stories to tell than what was being sold to the public. What originally drew me in

wasn't just the landscape, where it often felt like you were standing on the edge of the Earth, but the sense that life here operated by a different logic. It was quieter, less mediated and rougher around the edges. There was a time when roaring beach fires were a nightly summer ritual, and a seasonal wage was enough to survive. But this was before the town's success started pricing out the people who keep it running.

Since then, crooncalls have been painted, roads have been paved and old, weathered buildings have been replaced with shiny, new storefronts. Tofino has been commodified. It's now a brand that is sold and bought, and the town's character is changing fast to keep up. This shift didn't start with me. It's part of a transformation that's been unfolding for decades, one I only caught glimpse of when I arrived.

In 2024, Tofino's tourism sector generated around $527-million in total economic output and $524-million in tax revenue for B.C. and Canada. Before 2023, Tofino was relatively unknown to most Canadians. A logging road was carved through the mountains that year, connecting it to the rest of Vancouver Island for the first time. An influx of surfers, hippies and draft dodgers followed. They built their lives in the surrounding forests

and beaches, until they were excited to make way for the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve in 1979. Long before they arrived, The-a-qui-aht First Nation was steward of these lands. More recently in 1984, the nation declared Means Island a tribal park to stop MacMillan Binohel from logging. It was a radical act of land defence that predated much of the broader old-growth conversation in B.C. and placed

Tofino on the international map. Indigenous land defenders and counter-culture minfits were, in their own ways, pushing back against the same capitalist forces.

Today, a blue 1996 Volkswagen van with a surfboard strapped to the roof serves as Tourism Tofino's town mascot. It's a counter-culture image the town has never quite shaken, a paradoxical emblem of a lifestyle that's been co-opted for mass consumption.

Home to around 2,500 people, Tofino balloons in population in the summer and receives more than 700,000 visitors every year. Many are hired by postcard images of cotton candy nursery and perfect, peeling longboard waves.

But it's in the darkness of winter that the real soul of the place reveals itself. It's in those long stretches of waiting, after the bulk of the tourists have fled for calmer waters, that the real

Tofino is exposed.

The first winter I spent here was in 2018. I remember being stirred awake around 2 a.m. by my neighbour, Johnny Dawson, pounding on my shoe like a mad man. When I answered, he told me to pack a bag and get in his truck, 'Now,' he said, in a calm but urgent voice.

All I could think to grab were my cameras and laptop. Transmit sirens waited in the background as we skidded out onto

the highway, ignoring stop signs, racing for high ground. Mc Dawson had been living in Tofino for over 20 years and was convinced this was going to be the big one.

No significant waves materialized, but the warning served as a reminder of how exposed we are living on the coast and how much we depend on each other because of it.

The wildness breeds a community of people that, despite

their differences, are stubbornly legal to one another. Looking out for each other is just what you do.

As the town's image became increasingly glossy, I was interested in creating images of a Tofino that hold onto its past and a community who refuses to let it go.

The place I moved to nine years ago may be harder to find now, but it's still here, if you know where to look.

Whose story do our mum has tell?

Sooner or later, the glory of what you were becomes a way of avoiding the question of what you are. Osama Elemary writes

OPINION

Osama Elemary is a museum and heritage strategy controller based on Calgary and Vancouver. He's originally from Tanta, Egypt

From my apartment in Vancouver, I watched Egypt move its kings. It was April, 2015. Twenty-two royal munitions were carried through Cairo on gilded carriage in, an orchestra playing hymns in a language dead for millennia. My friend Oliver sat at the other end of the coach with a cello of light beginning to drink, and he couldn't stop asking questions. I was prone to just said it looked like the whole pharaonic world had stood up and walked back into the room.

I was proud, I was also uneasy. I've never quite managed to feel one without the other.

Last autumn the Grand Egyptian Museum opened, and I watched that too - this time from a brief room at the Netherlands, three magnificent, same pride, same worry underneath. A country cannot live inside its own part. Sooner or later the glory of what you were becomes a way of avoiding the question of what you were.

That worry came home with me.

In March, the Canada changed a name. The Ministry of Canadian Heritage became the Ministry of Canadian Identity and Culture. Peter Minister Mark Curney explained it plainly. With previous reasoning from the state for borders, declining Canadian identity had become a matter of sovereignty.

He was right to draw the line. Heritage looks back. It is the work for what led to storage, industrial and catalogued. Below it faces the other way. And Canada's strength never came from a single past handed down whole. It came from the reverse, people who arrived from everywhere, became Canadian and refused to have behind the places that made them. Naming a ministry after identity finally seen out loud what holds this country together.

So the name is right. Which is why I can't stop thinking about everything that hasn't come after.

I have spent 40 years building cultural projects - in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, India and Britain. One still term me. Designing the visitor center at the French the al-Zahasy palace in Madinah, in Saudi Arabia, we hit a decision early that governed everything too. Now we telling the story of the palace, or the man who lived in it? None, or a human living?

We walk into a national museum and find the British story and the French rose settlement, founding, the version that begins in 2007. All of it was All of it cared for. And all of it only a slice of what this country is on an ordinary Tuesday in Toronto, or Calgary or Vancouver.

We chose the man. You can spend a fortune on projection and interactive glass and still send a visitor home remembering nothing. What they carry out is never the building. It is a life: a name they had heard, a history they can stand inside, a person whose choices somehow reach into their own. A 1,200-year-old story only becomes part of who you are when it finally wears a face you recognize.

That is the call every culture ministry has to make. Canada hasn't made it. Whose face does our story work?

Instead, we opened a door. The Canada Strong Pass Jet

families into national museums, historic sites and parks for fun, and try in own numbers it worked - nearly 1.6 million people through the parts in a single summer. At institutions across nine provinces, having past. Carrying more Canadians inside a museum is not nothing.

But the door can never the hard part. The hard question is what they take out with them - what a Canadian is supposed to feel on the walk back to the car.

More than one quarter of this country - yet, per cent at the last season. Nobody in a racialized group, nearly one in four of us was born in another country, the highest share since Canada's action. We walk into a national museum and find the British story and the French rose settlement, founding, the version that begins in 2007. All of it was All of it cared for. And all of it only a slice of what this country is on an ordinary Tuesday in Toronto, or Calgary or Vancouver.

I know what that walk feels like. I am Egyptian. I became Canadian. I carry a language just to change that appear nowhere in any museum here, and I have looked - not in a newcomer, not in a line in a diversity report, but in someone who chose the first and wanted to find himself in its story.

That is the question the new name asked out loud. No one has answered it.

Since 2015, this has changed hands seven times. The returned ministry is barely a year old and has already had two members. We first found eight months before he resigned. You don't move people through a job that last if you believe it matters. You do that to a job you have already decided in a system.

Egypt staged the grandest procession in years and left the mission to find for itself. Canada changed life more, signed real designs and stopped at the edge of the one decision that counts. What identity can we actually building? Until that is answered, every museum we throw open for free is a beautiful room with nothing settled on its walls, meanwhile the most diverse society on Earth waits to eat itself as a season to come.

More than half of all travel now moves toward culture. The countries that decide what story they are telling will own what comes next.

I chose this country believing it could answer hard questions. This one is still open - and I am not the only one who has noticed how long it has been left that way.

THEMISSE KHAN

OPINION

Has spent many Plan 50 years working in the foreign assistance and humanitarian aid sectors

Canada's international development sector, whose mandate is to eradicate poverty, support human rights and respond to global crisis overseas, has been largely directed from the cause of Indigenous peoples here in Canada. One can argue that Indigenous peoples have their own Indigenous-led rights-based organizations in Canada, or that advocating for Indigenous communities abroad is on demand in the work international development organizations already do. But in Canada's case, those arguments may follow.

One of the reasons why the international development sector still lag behind in meeting its mandate will cause they have not learned from their own histories of colonialism, racism and prophethical power. You cannot claim to have an international development sector in the Global North if you are seen as being indifferent

toward similar values within your own country in Canada, this begins with its responsibilities toward Indigenous peoples.

The irony is that the struggle for the territorial and human rights of Indigenous communities across Canada mirrors exactly Canada's commitment overseas, local security, education, health, gender-based violence, rights of women and LGBTI people, clean water, food security, land rights and more are causes Canada seemingly fights for the countries of the Global South through foreign aid, or Official Development Assistance (ODA). Much of this is shanedok through Canadian organizations for instance, partnering with Indigenous feminist organizations in the Global South is an important focus of many Canadian NGOs under what used to be the feminist international Assistance Policy. Yet, when it comes to our own Indigenous populations who endure these very same challenges, they are classified as 'Indigenous affairs.'

The international development sector has also been accused of remaining disconnected from those it works with in marginalized nations, often

wielding power through global NGOs, group-sector consulting firms and government-funded advocacy groups. In Canada, the sector demonstrates a similar disconnect with Indigenous-led organizations and their realities. For instance, in 2015, Global Affairs Canada released a four-year Action Plan on Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. One goal was to 'increase all employees' knowledge and understanding of the rights, histories, heritage, cultures, and diverse perspectives of First Nations, Nazi and Meta peoples and the importance of advancing reconciliation.' For a government department supposedly needed in working with marginalized and Indigenous populations globally to claim that its staff needs to be educated in its own history is a declaration of how it has had the audacity to thus far work uninformed of this history.

This Action Plan could have been an opportunity to bridge the learning from a global sector to a more domestic one. Or vice versa. Sadly, there has been a serious absence of cross-collabore: the solidarity. Despite claiming that working with Indigenous-led organizations forms an integral

part of their work, many Canadian international development organizations remain absent in terms of the most crucial elements for Indigenous solidarity such as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. An international tribunal recently held the Canadian government's current policies responsible for the continuing genocide of its Indigenous peoples. But the outcry over this is contained within Indigenous organizations and our international development costs indeed. We outcry over a 15.5 billion decrease in support to Indigenous peoples in the most recent budget was nowhere near as loud as the very public outcry over the 15.5 billion decrease in ODA in the same budget.

This is not a choice between working for the marginalized outside Canada or within it. But there are now a growing number of domestic concerns that mirror international costs - gender-based violence, discrimination, homelessness, mental health, land rights. According to Statistics Canada, 15 per cent of Canadians have lived under the poverty line since 2015, up from 0.14 per cent the previous year. Though far be-

low Global South poverty data, it is an indication that the world of international development will of some point have to reckon with domestic development. And Indigenous concerns are a key part of that.

We cannot separate a continuing history of injustice within our own country by demanding for justice elsewhere. We cannot advocate for equality for Indigenous groups in the Global South when we see our own Indigenous groups as the 'other' Canada's international development sector has been up in arms against the 'changing face of international co-operation,' as so many new features and forums within Canada and abroad have been denying following drastic cuts in ODA and a shift toward military and trade priorities. But there is no opportunity within Canada to create a blueprint on collaboration with Indigenous populations in share with other countries. Or truly create the solidarity it keeps talking about.

Canada's international development community must look inward to be able to once again look outward, and that starts with learning from and building trust with Indigenous peoples.

When life's moving too fast,

go barefoot

In warm weather, take the opportunity to say goodbye to shoes, Ailsa Ross writes

OPINION

Ailsa Ross is the author of the novel Novel.

A memorable moment at a Banff Centre prize ceremony a few November ago came when the NC invited a young barefoot guy up on stage. He seemed shy, almost embarrassed to be up there. But the NC had announced she was looking for the "most badass person" in the audience, and his pals had immediately pointed him out, shouting that their friend "dooes! I wear shoes until the first snow!"

That night, feeling quite enamoured with the man wearing no shoes, I went home, opened my computer and read that going barefoot can help with balance and gait. I learned that after six months of barefoot walking, foot strength can increase dramatically - on average, according to one study in Nature, by 57.4 per cent.

I was reminded then of a photo from the early 20th century Takao on St. Kilda, a remote archipelago on Scotland's farthest western edge. It showed a tourist's foot being compared with an islander's foot. The difference in their foot strength was obvious - it was like looking at the paws of a puppy next to a wolf's, insidiously, I also wanted the paws of a wolf.

Of course I don't technically need strong feet, given that my life does not involve scaling soaring sea cliffs to search of birds' eggs for my family's support. But I have no need in my life for strong abs either, and that has not stopped me from doing half-hearted sit-ups every so often.

Anyway, winter came quickly after I first saw that barefoot man

up on stage. I waited for spring-time to come to the mountains, then I found a path at the edge of the woods where the snow had mostly melted. I stuffed my boots in my backpack and began to walk. That was when I realized that - having had no practice in barefoot walking - I was akin to the astronauts who come down from - mouths-borg - space missions with feet so baby soft that, for weeks, walking back on Earth is painful. The cold path really hurt my feet, which have more nerves per square centimeter than any other part of the body - around 200,000 per foot. That's a lot of nerve endings

to be sending pain messages to the brain all at once.

Still, I tried again, a few weeks later, when the body were swelting on the trees and the last snow had been replaced by mud puddles. This time I did not feel like an astronaut. I felt like a hippy. It is wonderful to be wallowing in mud, even just up to your toes. There is so much that feels pleasant to touch while walking a path barefoot. I'm thinking in particular of soft grass and dandelion heads.

What does not feel incredible is stepping on small rocks and other sharp objects. There are hazards to walking barefoot, and

so we've been fashioning sandals from hemp and hides and even dried fish skins for many thousands of years. Still, something happens when one has to look out for hazards underfoot. It necessitates looking at the world that hit more intently.

Jain nuns and monks never go in vehicles, they walk barefoot everywhere, no matter the weather or terrain: that way they have to look where they're going. They have to walk more slowly, and as a result they're much less likely to accidentally step on the bogs and other small life forms they dedicate their lives to protecting.

I think that's really why I like going barefoot. I'm not really bothered if my feet are strong or weak, but I do want an excuse to walk with more intention, to her book, Wanderlust: A History of Walking. Rebecca Sobrit writes "I like walking because it is slow, and I suspect that the mind, like the feet, works at about three miles an hour. If this is so, then modern life is moving faster than the speed of thought or thoughtfulness."

When I'm walking even more slowly than that, because I'm looking out for rocks and twigs, I'm walking even slower than the speed of thought. This can be a peaceful feeling. Though sometimes it takes a while for my mind to settle, especially when I'm walking the familiar streets near home. Not long ago, though, while glansing down to check my footing, I saw a stream of shiny red insects crossing the path just in front of my toes. On closer inspection, they were ladybugs, so many that they made tiny ruffles in the nearby grass, like wind.

When I get back to the house, I read that a group of ladybugs is collectively known as a "lewliness," and that their sports symbolize the seven joys and seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary, baring this particular internet search. I didn't feel like I was distracting myself from my surroundings. I felt like I was paying attention again.

"The body is the vehicle of being in the world," wrote the phenomenological philosophy Maurice Norkous-Ponty. What better way to extreme myself with my surroundings than to let my feet directly meet the ground - even if that's only a sidewalk rich in ladybugs? I love when bugs shape my thoughts.

Workers need protection from the heat

Spending heat waves are becoming a regular feature of Canadian summers, yet it has enough attention is being paid to some of the people need at risk of heat-related health problems – outdoor workers. A new legislative push is needed to modernize provincial workplace rules to account for rising temperatures as well as pose air quality due to wildfire smoke.

Farm labourers, construction workers, landscapers and other outdoor employees face a high risk from heat. Some indoor workers are also at risk from high temperatures in the summer or year round, particularly those in industrial kitchens and certain manufacturing plants.

A 2015 report from the World Health Organization on heat stress, a condition when the body accumulates heat, leading to physiological strain, says the frequency, and intensity of extreme heat events has risen sharply due to climate change, favoring risk for outdoor and indoor workers around the world. Health risks include heat stroke, dehydration, kidney dysfunction, and neurologic disorders. Heat also decreases worker productivity and can lead to cognitive impairment, resulting in accidents.

Between 2016 and 2015, WorkSafeRC accepted 125 heat-related injury claims, many in transportation, construction, food services, and film and television production. While workplace deaths in Canada due to heat are rare, it can be a contributing factor in fatalities attributed to heart attacks and respiratory disease.

A new report from RC Policy Solutions says that existing heat exposure regulations in the previous lack claims, aren't widely known by workers, and are poorly enforced. It recommends adapting a 'trigger temperature' for when heat-related requirements come into effect, making it clearer to workers and employers what actions are required.

Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act doesn't include specific obligations around heat stress or maximum workplace temperature limits, although employers have a general duty to take 'reasonable' measures to protect workers. In 2015, the Ministry of Labour said it would create specific requirements for employers regarding heat, but the proposal stalled after employer groups complained the rules would be expensive and complicated, and labour advocates said voluntarily groups, such as farm workers, were left out.

Abandoning the effort isn't the answer. Clear and simple rules can be created that boost worker protection without engaging down employers to needless regulations and red tape.

A private member's bill introduced by NDP MFP Peter Tabano offers some sensible ideas, such as mandating paid cooldown heads, requiring employers develop and implement heat stress policies, and providing access to cool drinking water. New rules from Ottawa covering federal workers are also a good model. Other provinces should enact similar legislation, while adding provisions for employers exposed to wildfire smoke.

Those rules should clearly cover temporary agency workers and migrant farm workers, who are among those most exposed to heat and smoke, says Godford Bunting, associate professor at York University's School of Global Health. Labour ministries shouldn't rely entirely on complaints from workers – many who have temporary status and may be scared to speak up – to ensure employers are meeting their obligations. Unanswered site visits are needed.

Updated regulations will provide employers clarity, but they shouldn't wait to improve their strategies. Employers should provide training so supervisors can recognize symptoms of heat stress and must properly. Supervisors should understand that workers may react differently to the same conditions; given that commonly used thresholds to measure heat stress were developed for young, male army recruits, adjustments may be needed for women and older workers.

Supervisors need to be proactive and monitor weather forecasts, but they also must adapt as circumstances change. Worker safety and productivity can be boosted by shifting heavier work to the morning, with higher duties in the afternoon, says Glen Kreny, a professor of physiology at the University of Ottawa. Rotating staff between better and cooler environments can also prevent worker fatigue.

Provincial leaders should make modernizing heat regulations for workers a priority. By next summer, there will be no excuse not to have new rules in place.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PRESENT PRECEDENT

Re 'As a wartime president, Olympia just declared war on his own government' (July 16) and 'The Russian regime tried to kill me. What happened next was just as chilling' (Opinion, July 16). In conclusion Natalia Janov brightening account of Russian intimidation, violence and poisoning in the service of political egressmen, we glimpse the future Donald Trump offers to Americans. One where, as in Vladimir Putin's Russia, American elections are far show and there is silenced by the repressive apparatus of the state. Americans should also heed before it is too late to pull their democracy back from falling into the drive of full blown anticscuit.

Carril Fould PhD, associate professor of history, Hspice University, London, UK

STUDY IN THE MIDDLE

Re 'Canada has been sold a false promise of being an 'exergy to peppers'!' (Deport on Business, July 16). As a practitioner in urban design and land development, I see the true drivers of Canada's productivity crisis every day. Our declining pro capita wealth from a failure of energy exports I see it as the direct result of a chronic lack of business innovation, systemic government or general bottlenecks and a massive shift of national wealth into existing and estate, rather than funding the business from technology and commercial innovation that actually drive productivity.

The resource sector remains one of Canada's few highly efficient, high-wage engines. Suggesting it dragged down growth, without accounting for how much were our per capita GDP would look without millions of dollars in energy revenues, seems to me a failure of economic logic.

Paul Fennie (Veterans) Placental Design + Development, Vancouver

While talking of bold action, the government has mainly resurrected strategies from decades past, but the world has changed, and much of the future opportunity models to turn to the delights.

But even when considering new technologies such as artificial intelligence, Canada's leaders seem satisfied with building black-and-mouth data centers and having real innovation to foreign multinationals. It is time Canada allowed more people attuned to new technologies a seat at the table.

Bob Grant (Saxon)

LEGAL CASE

Re 'Hill is a brings Chief Justice Richard Wagner to the decisions of a lifetime' (July 16). This provides little encouragement that any

judgment of Chief Justice Richard Wagner will place restraints on the nonwithstanding clause.

Sources indicated he 'was reluctant to hear' the Bill is just, and on whether to hear the appeal. 'Chief Justice Wagner retold me.' He was therefore content with the erroneous decision of the Quebec Court of Appeal on Bill in, which held it was prevented by the nonwithstanding clause from reviewing unconstitutionality and cited the Supreme Court's table fund decision.

But in 1996, after funding the nonwithstanding clause was correctly invoked, the Supreme Court also held that the Quebec language act to question one's constitutional, but it concluded this unconstitutionality was protected from invalidity by the nonwithstanding clause.

Despite the quoted reluctance of Chief Justice Wagner to hear the Bill in appeal, perhaps there's still a majority of Supreme Court judge is interested in setting aside the Quebec decision.

Daniel Roberts (C), Connex, B.C.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Re 'Conservatives' problematize anger is a symptom of a need where that has been heard' (Opinion, July 16). The Conservatives under themselves when they merged with the Kitchen Party.

While the LW levels can pick and choose ideas through from the left, incorporating the useful and dismissing the question, the Conservatives have admitted to their tone a host of convictions to curably right for most Canadians – and processes to the party itself. Let in spoken and makes, don't be surprised at being bitten.

Had the Conservative Kicked on old Kashiorkor but they heard of moderate conservatism, they would likely be sitting on the government side of the House – quite possibly led by the current Liberal Prime Minister.

Reform by hooting out the Reformers, this is their path to a noticeable future.

Scott Godfree (Scotlighia, Ont)

We have a Prime Minister in Mark's salary who exposure many conservative views and絕ightening policies the Conservatives have to should approve of.

Why not embrace what Conservatives might otherwise see as a return to sanity and competence? This is the kind of government they wanted, at long last. Enjoy it. Just because it's a under different hand doesn't make it bad. And if Conservatives think it does, maybe it's time they review their priorities.

Charlotte Courthault (Angina)

YOU DON'T LAY

Re 'I'm a dental surgeon but people assume I'm a hygienist. How

can I correct their sexist bias without being male?' (Furness, July 16). As a youthful according to racialized and female lawyers, Law often asked by opposing counsel 'when were you called to the bar?' or 'where is that accent there?'

My well-housed reply is always, 'I'm curious as to how my year of call or access is relevant to the issue we are discussing.'

In countless other occasions, opposing counsel or clients would ask me to redirect them to a lawyer. I always respond enthusiastically, but without habits, 'This is your lucky day. You are already speaking with a lawyer, and are excellent now.'

Nicole W.S. Phillips (Saxon)

WRITE AGAIN

Re 'Opening a forgotten client, I smoothed my early writing – and faced the children back at my youth' (Opinion, July 16). Few students become professional writers, and for those this essay holds special interest.

The withering comments of reporter Lee Brown's English teacher will connect with anyone who remembers someone like that from their school days. Remedially 'I find your boss ... sick' would land any teacher these days with a pink slip, a good shaming, to be sure, but one that would have a student with some example, such as the answer, hear a hasty retreat back to their desk.

I received my fair share of these ripostees as well. One I never forget: 'Knows nothing, czers less.' A perfectly stalked sentence.

Adam de Pensier (Saxon)

There is something wonderfully human about unravelling old pages and ringing at the shallow, age-infested younger self who wrote them. Richard has thrown it lucky to have so much material. Even kickier to have the courage to revisit it.

Lotless wonder why I write. Perhaps it's because I want to remember and, maybe, be remembered. When I retreat all 80 volumes and 101,000 pages of my journals, I found a note from my Grade 11 English teacher in Cornwall, Ont, from eye 'You have a unique voice, Debbie, Learmoor and spelling need a lot of improvement.'

Decades later, I'm still working with the 17th voice and the spelling and still grateful for writers such as Mr. Brown who remind us that the past is worth ripening, even when it witness back at us.

Trump is making Canada grow up

The U.S. President is inadvertently forcing Canada to take action on policies that have long held us back

ROBIN GRANOR

I worry that doing about an action, and delivering education, have taken care of the other anti-strategy, better persons.

It's hard to see the benefits when you're constantly being tied in, cleaned out and disparaged. It's unbelievable, reassuring and you know you need to get out, that you signed a bad together and you need to become to make the payments. Plus, you think you love that.

So you did not like unpredictable mood swings and get in touch with us you reach him another his meal in lynching. You don't know how you'll survive - but

sometimes, you do.

When the fog after your inevitable breakup life, you vow that you will never again find yourself in that position. So you define your United profile because it's attracting the wrong type of person. You find an apartment you can pay for on your own, because you never want to be that dependent on one man again. You get that haircut, you get a dog, you start a bank club, you take up running. Suddenly, you're the best version of yourself on your eyes here, all because of what the worst person you know taught you about yourself. - U.S. President Ronald Trump is inspiring Canada to cut its hair. He doesn't know what he's doing previously. He's too busy starting wars he can't finish and threaten up to dramatically nine prices of everyday goods for his people. But what he is also doing - and what he has been doing since he returned to the White House - is forcing Canada to become a stronger, better country. Because we never want to end up in this kind of relationship again.

This week, Canadian premiere met in P53 and finally agreed to

eliminate our among many 400 interprovincial trade barriers that has endured for far too long. With the exceptions of Quebec, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, all provinces agreed to allow direct-to-consumer alcohol across the country, removing an interprovincial trade barrier that had prevented someone in Ontario, for example, from purchasing wine directly from a producer to KC. It's a fully step in the grand scheme of dismantling counterproductive and costly interprovincial trade barriers, which have been estimated to cost the Canadian economy together $260 billion a year. Indeed, the monsoon doesn't even include retail sales - only direct-to-consumer sales - even though liquor stores across the country have found themselves with vacant shelf space after pulling U.S. alcohol from stores more than a year ago.

But it's a productive step nonetheless, and one that probably would cost him happened with our Mr. Trump's inadvertent influence. Occasionless about dismantling Canada's complicated network of interprovincial

barriers have been going on for decades, but it wasn't until Mr. Trump's hostile actions accidentally highlighted the folly of accustomed trade hostilities that Canada's premiere finally decided to do not.

We're cutting Mr. Trump's first time in effect set Canada to other areas, too. After years of kicking the can down the road on ordinary procurement and underfunding the Canadian Armed Forces, Ottawa is finally committing to purchases and spending red money on defense. It's something we should have done a long time ago, but we just assumed our boyfriend would have not back if we get into trouble: that time guy has shown us why we shouldn't rely on any man.

We're shrewdling our trade partners, kicking beyond the U.S. to rejoin including Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates. We're sweeping counterproductive legislation. We're finally getting serious about increasing our resource capacity, about building pipelines and breaking ground on other big projects.

We could be doing more, of course; there are still plenty of

regulatory barriers (for example, Bill C-06, the House's Assessment Act, which can still be bypassed for a project deemed in the national domain) - and is not as red tape and other barriers impeding Canada's own production on Canada. But we're sorting more action on more files in a year than we have seen in the past decade. And paradoxically, it's thanks to Mr. Trump.

Indeed, the Trump effect has gone to force Canada to confront the risk and policies that are keeping us from being out for prices. One of the most obvious policies is supply management, which artificially raises the prices of dairy, eggs and poultry across the country to placate what is perceived as a powerful voting bloc. It is unlikely the federal government will not make that now, however, clear the Trump specifically identified dairy as a trade irritant and Ottawa will not want to give him the chance.

But if there is little sense Canada would continue to hurt itself just to spite a man who will hurt us no matter what we do. Living well is the best revenge, as they say. Might as well start now.

The culture wars come for The Odyssey - and miss

MARSHA LEONEMAN

OPINION

ACA first soldiers such as Elon Musk have made a habit of evading classical Greek and Roman mythosphere plants in particular, as they imagine a world led by Czebec's alpha-male warriors being heroic and strong.

When Mr. Musk, then vantage the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOUL), ordered a group of very young male tech experts for his government co-occurring career, he referred to them as Spatacus. When he launched the America Party in 1963, (whatever happened to that!) he warned of the myth of Spartan invincibility. He has referred to America as "new enemy".

Non-former Donald Trump adviser Steve Ransom, writing his frontbeat News as zeal, compared frontbeat to the Spartans' three million after aftermath - the Athenians being the mainstream media, especially Fox News.

The Oath Keepers, a right-wing, anti-immigration militia group in the U.S., announced in part that it had launched "the San Francisco-based warrior" in 1964. The country from the "violent left."

So imagine the joy in Muskville and the larger atmosphere there - when you cut that the celebrated date of Christopher Nolan would be bringing that vision of nearly Green-Roman heroism to life on the big - say, huge (size matters) - screen with The Odyssey.

But as decide began to emerge of Mr. Nolan's take on Honor's tale of the great warrior Odysseus, played by Matt Damon, the mansophore bullock. Mr. Musk used her X platform to denounce the film, its cutting choices in particular, spreading the word to

img-158.jpeg

Curt and crew of The Odyssey afraid the film's previous to New York on July 18.

THE COFFE/GAZETTE MARSHA DELOE (MICROFILM)

his disciples that this film, which no new had yet seen, would be make slips, meant to win Oscars, and that Mr. Nolan was ordinarily on Honor's grace in the process.

Mr. Musk seemed particularly obsessed with certain cutting choices, especially Loptis Noman, who, in the past, played filmed of Troy. After you said to be so beautiful, her face launched a thousand ships - i.e. providing the Trojan War. When Mr. Musk took out of the false rumour that Elliot Page, a trans man, was playing Achilles, he called it "one of the dumbest and most twisted things I've ever heard". In fact, Mr. Page plays times more, in this telling, innocently have the Trojans to the horse, not aware that warriors were hidden within the supposed gift and, once past the

city walls, would open the gates from the inside and sides of inside of Greek warriors in the face and defeat Troy's.

Now, with the movie billings of the free office, we know: Mr. Nolan's The Odyssey is no 1512 double it is the anti-war, anti-apartimacy, pre-absorptive type, the world needs, an antidote to its current state and despotic leaders. Here do you like them Spatacus, mansophores?

There has been no real non-senior, offensive focus on whether Mr. Nyonji is in qualified to play the most beautiful women as in the Greek world. But the film's most important opposition to the culture warriors has nothing to do with cutting.

Mr. Nolan has, brilliantly, submitted his heroic tale of war into

an anti-war epic. The film itself is a Trojan Horse that is not merely a thrilling night at the movies, but makes it clear, in its own times, that war is held, destroying real lives in the most brutal of ways, innocents among them, And it's held for the sudden loss, Christmas thought they may be.

Further, a major theme throughout the film is Zew's Law - that grants, including strangers, must be treated with hospitality and respect. With the Trojan Horse discipline, Odysseus ultimately comes to believe that he had broken Zew's Law and angered the path. When audiences see Odysseus and crew at the mercy of the zeal can, how can we see them of today's best friendships? And, if they are not, they're living every thing on today's basis in an effort to escape their horrific circumstances for a safer life in the West (with Greece as a frequent entry in the world), in many cases, they are not welcomed with their vitality or respect!

Mr. Nolan's film is shade (1) - massing the warmwingers and trumpeters harbors young us. It is a beautiful, brave rehab.

But that the mansophore sees it that way. After screening The Odyssey, conservative political commentator Matt Walsh reported on X that it is "just as what a real world is to be, but not as we and called it's a vehicle for liberal sermonizing."

Now, Mr. Musk says his Code Imagery will make it of Odyssey feature that will be "historically accurate." Godspend to those on his team charged with portraying Honor's tale of a man-eating cyclops and more-to-pipe trans-accident than a historically accurate way.

Just when you think the culture wars can't get any more ridiculous, we are presented with the gift of a sergeant woke of an anti-attorney - about war - that is both terrific entertainment and a crucial morality tale for the masses.

Hostility toward Israel is the new litmus test for Democrats

KORMA YARABUSH

OPINION

Among the signature generalists, Yorham Mandoza made some memory to become New York's mayor in 1965, when a pledge to receive the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu of the Israeli Prime Minister on June 16 the city, who had in previous years to attend the United Nations General Assembly, it made Mr. Mandoza an instant superior among the greater Democratic who had grown increasingly health to Israel.

Mr. Mandoza's sensational sentence was always more politic and heckeyless than credible politics, a guaranteed applause line of callus intended to energize the young poor Palestinian voters who had backed to his campaign. Legal experts cast doubt on whether a New York mayor could return Mr. Netanyahu, the subject of an international Criminal Court warrant who stands accused of "intentionally' depriv-

ing Guiana of food, water and medicine.

Not only is the United States not a member of the ICC but it once just passed by Congress broadly prohibits U.S. authorities from co-operating with The Hague-based institution. International leaders typically enjoy diplomatic immunity to attend the UN General Assembly, had, critically, her enforcement decisions in the largest U.S. city reside with the New York Police Department, and the occupant of Gracie Mannion.

Also, Mr. Mandoza finally considered the case, that he does not want "the independent legal authority" to order Mr. Netanyahu's arrest - but not between calling him a "war criminal" and the "architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people" with a "impossible for the killing of more than 21,000 people." In a video posted on X, the socialist New York Mayor added, with a deadpan book, that "we, as Americans, got for the bombs that die the killing."

That the Mayor of New York, home to the largest Jewish pop-

ulation outside Israel, could after such words underworn the dry-men's shift in U.S. attitudes since the 1963 Roman attack that left a 100-under-dead and ignited the war in Gaza. Within the Democratic Party, Mr. Mandoza's radical move on Israel now preclude 11 great mainstream.

Last week, more than one Democratic members of the House of Representatives voted for an amendment to a State Department funding bill that would have cut off military and humanitarian aid to Israel. While the amendment failed to pass, more Democratic members, it than against X, thus offending party leaders who had opposed the motion.

Until recently, bipartisan support for Israel had been a given in Washington. As the only democracy and unconditional U.S. ally in the Middle East, Israel's military strength has long been seen as critical in U.S. security interests in a region in which the Jewish party's existence is threatened by hostile neighbours. Hence, effect on U.S. policy has ended to ensure that Israel maintains a "qual-

itative military edge" over its enemies.

In this end, former Democratic president Randa Obama committed to providing a minimum of US/gab billion in military aid to Israel over 10 years under a 2018 recommendation of understanding. Former Democratic president for Biden authorized billions of dollars in additional military assistance to Israel as it sought to destroy him as in the aftermath of the 1963 attacks.

Since then, however, the program was made of the Democratic Party has come to apply a new list of the U.S. candidates to all effect, particularly support for Israel to a deal in Israel. They were in support only those who call themselves anti-Zionists, a leader that suggests opposition to the very existence of a Jewish state in the Middle East, ignoring the centuries of persecution that preclude the legal creation of Israel.

"I don't believe in these states, and I consider don't believe that our country is not a country that is a nation of these states," Abhdi El-Sarraf, the frontwoman to become the Democratic Senate nominee

in Michigan, recently told The New York Times. At either, Mr. El-Sarraf's applause then include "I don't just my taxes thinking, man, I can't wait for Israel to get another task."

Many of the 1963 House Democrats voted to eliminate U.S. aid to Israel admitting they did not actually support the measure but rather sought to send a message to Mr. Netanyahu that the days of international war, the Jewish state are over. The truth is, most incumbent Democrats are terrified of denying primary challenges in 2018 from more progressive in 1963, who have no qualms about upholding the status of the war for the consequences.

The rise of the 1963239 campaign within the Democratic Party has downing the chances that a Jewish candidate - such as Prime Minister and President Zabir Shapiro, Illinois Governor III Proctor or former Chicago mayor and Obama chief of staff Ruben Roussel - could secure the party's 2018 presidential nomination.

At least not as long as Mr. Mandoza is setting the tone for the rest of the party.

MICHELLE DuBARRY

ENTERTAINED, 04

LEGENDARY DRAG QUEEN'S COMMITMENT TO LGBTQ COMMUNITY NEVER WORKED

The performer became a fixture on Church Street, worked tirelessly for myriad good causes and was celebrated for her glamorous looks and generous spirit

GORDON ROMWEST

The queen is dead. Long live the queen.

Michelle DuBarry, Canada's oldest drag queen, died in her deep fall / of the Inhat Content for Toronto. She was 94 years old.

The entertainment legend presided over the Toronto drag scene for seven decades, getting her start at private parties in the 1920s at a time when the word 'queen' was considered a nasty char and drag was an underground, derided form of expression. She was part of a heavy vanguard of performers - then helped change that. She gained four fame in the 1970s as part of the groundbreaking drag troupe: the Great Importers. Then, as a solo act, she became a fixture on Church Street in the heart of Toronto's LGBTQ community, celebrated for her glamorous looks and generous spirit. Men was a unique and effective form of acronyms: her platform, the stage and her cudgel, a handling and matching shoes.

'She was a legend,' David Kevis Levesque says. 'She paved the way for all of us.' Mr. Levesque is better known as Max Conception, one of the more successful queens to come out of Toronto, who currently performs regularly in Provincetown, Mass. 'She was our mother, she was our grandmother, she was everyone.'

Ms. DuBarry began life as Russell Aldread, born Nov. 15, 1931 in Bowmanville, a rural community east of Toronto. Russell's family was poor: his father was a welder and his mother, a nurse. Theatricality and glamour called to him from an early age. He was very proud of a childhood photo showing him at the age of nine dressed in a reception black velvet green and fashion turban, a costume cooked up by some female cousins. Playing dress-up, singing and theatre were youthful pursuits. By 21, he had moved to Toronto and found a place to live on Church Street. That's when his boys were to drag began in a street, during an era of police shakedowns and homophobic and transphobic witch-hunts.

'I only wish I could reach a lot of people who don't even understand what it was like in the forties, fifties and sixties to be gay.' Mr. Aldread told Yets Magazine in 2007. 'The general public back then didn't know anything about gay life, unless they saw someone very oftomingo they could call a 'queen' for bad bits double-life, these jobs during the day where you could be fired if you were found to be gay. I do occasionally meet a person from a new generation who totally understands, but very few. Most don't know: most don't want to know.'

His first job was working in the mailroom of Canadian Fairbanks-Morse, a mushroom manufacturer. But Mr. Aldread would soon find his calling as a ladies' slow salesman, working at Town Times at Ray and Howe.

'You see I'm queer for shoes,' he told Yets Magazine in 2001.

In the years, after a short marriage to a woman, Mr. Aldread began performing drag at alternative callouts queens and coffee houses in Toronto each in the US, the Music Room, Global Village and Theatre in the Dell.

At first he was known as Anita Medz, an alter ego inspired by Canadian stage lidders. By 1989, he had been rechildrened Michelle DuBarry (after the 1941 Lucille Ball film Do Barry Was a Lady) and began to using white a troupe called Phase One. By 1972, Mr. DuBarry had rethranded a new troupe, the Great Importers, with Rudy Ryan and Tammy Antunes. Less than three years after the partial decolonialization of homosexuality in Canada, the troupe became famous for plying the highways and he-ways of Ontario, fearing small-town hair across the province.

'I had the van, and we packed up and drove around all of the northern towns as far north as Toronto,' Mr. Aldread told the CBC in 2010. 'We moved into little bomb carrying up the stage and got made up in our rooms, and then went out to do some shows in the little box.' The Great Importers was then audience members: first exposure to the LGBTQ community, though, famously, many didn't realize they were watching men in dream.

Rene Odorico, long-time manager of popular gay for Wendy's, saw Mr. DuBarry and the Great Importers perform at a mailhouse invations, Ont., on the afores of Lake Binocie, when he was a

In 2015, Michelle DuBarry was named as the 'world's oldest performing drag queen' by the Guinness Road of Records, two years after being crowned 'empress' for the second time by a Toronto network of LGBTQ social clubs, 2007, event

youngster in the early seventies. 'I got to help out behind the bar, like get the we, even though I was underage,' he recalls. 'So I got to see them on stage. They were hilarious, and the audience loved it. It was packed, and they were all having the best time.' And yes, he did know he was watching men in dream. It can't be coincidental that Mr. Odorico would go on to manage one of the premier drag venues in the country.

The original trio spent the next 10 years or so touring across Canada. The Great Importers (and its offshoot, the Importers), with a rotating cast of performers, continued for decades.

By the other, though, Mr. DuBarry had had enough of touring and settled down to become a permanent fixture on Church Street in Toronto, regularly performing in bars such as Teas, the Maniere and the Biddies. If she wasn't performing she was out and about to fall quickly evening dress ensembles, holding court on a street corner or from a humeral, and supporting other drag performers - she always tipped. Mr. DuBarry's smiling visage, in or out of drag, was a near constant presence. 'Church Street really was her life. It was her oxygen,' performer Mr. G. Murray, a later member of the Great Importers, says.

Ms. DuBarry worked tirelessly to raise funds for myriad good causes, during the terrifying early years of AIDS and beyond. 'She showed up,' Mr. Odorico says. 'She did a very handsome under the sun, without getting paid. She showed up to help raise money for AIDS and for anything going on, for people's birthdays, for bar anniversaries, for New Year's.'

When performing, Mr. DuBarry's look

was always polished. But there was something unique about her performance style. 'She didn't know a stitch of lip eyes, not a stitch, not a word,' Mr. Murray, considered one of the best lip-synners in the business, says. When he would ask how she got more with it, she'd repeat her famous mantra. He would she'll mouth when she didn't know the lyrics to a song: 'Applies, pears, poaches and pins.'

'It's what endured her to a lot of people,' Mr. Murray says.

'And she was loving,' Mr. Odorico adds. 'You can see that is a person'

In 1993, Mr. DuBarry was crowned empress by the Imperial Court of Toronto (TICOT), part of a North American network of LGBTQ social clubs built around a bejeweled mix of pageantry, protocol and philanthropy, stating funds for worthy causes.

It was around this time that Ms. DuBarry, then in her 60s, and Mr. Levesque, a young, triangular on the scene, became friends. 'People weren't doing her for gigs any more,' Mr. Levesque says. 'We would let her do numbers at my shows because she deserved that recognition. She deserved to have the spotlight, always.'

In 2013, Ms. DuBarry was again crowned empress by TICOT. By this point the court was running out of narratives. She was titled 'Empress XXVI, Michelle DuBarry, Queen Mother of all Ontario and Hattinatch to the Imperial Court of Toronto, the Absolute Queen Mother Empress.'

Two years later, when she was 84, Ms. Guinness Road of Records named Ms. DuBarry the 'world's oldest performing drag queen.' The next year, a usurper

Rene Oregon surfaced who was one year older. Ms. DuBarry's other achievements include being named grand marshal of the Toronto Pride Parade in 2007 and being a guest judge on Canada's Drag Race in 2010.

In what might be considered an unusual move for a respected legal advocacy group, Egale Canada launched a campaign in 2010 to secure Ms. DuBarry a guest spot on her favourite talk show film. 'It was a combination of Michelle and her tennis sixties in the community and that advocacy piece that she brought to the space,' Egale executive director Helen Kennedy says. 'As Michelle was aging, she was very engaged and committed to issues around seniors, queer seniors' health, housing, long-term care, social isolation and chosen family and what it actually means.'

And while the campaign was unsuccessful it did raise the profile of issues that would come to the line when COVID is financed. Ms. DuBarry's beloved Church Street and, a year later, she moved into long-term care after a dementia diagnosis.

Her unwavering commitment to the community 'is to be cherished,' Ms. Kennedy says.

A small group of friends did their best to keep Ms. DuBarry connected to the wider world. She was grateful for their love of kindness to the end.

One of Ms. DuBarry's signature songs was a timeline ballad called We Can Be Kind, with the lyrics: 'We can be kind! We can take care of each other! We can remember that deep down inside: We all need the same things.'

Michelle DuBarry never forgot those lyrics, she lived there.

Graham Isador takes a VO2 Max Test of Attitude Athletic Training in Toronto. The face mask measures his oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. HANN BINES/THE GLOBE AND MAIL

I'm running on a treadmill. A face mask is rightly strapped over my mouth and nose. A series of tubes runs from the mask to a small backpack pinned across my shoulder blades. There is a loud beeping sound and the treadmill speeds up, taking me from a brisk jog into a light option.

"When you feel like you can't run any more, we want you to push for another five or six sec- onds," yells a trainer from the sidelines. He's holding an iPad. A number of goggles and stats are thinking on the scores, "keep going." The treadmill picks up again and I get a little faster. Trying to keep pace just after the 12-minute mark, sweat drips from my brow and my breath- ing is heavy.

I look like a super villain. I feel like a lab rat. This is a Vo2 max test. Previously, these tests were exclusive to research labs and elite athletic facilities, helping endurance athletes and elite level performers create a competitive edge dur- ing a match or race. Now they've gained traction among the general public. Influencers such as YouTuber Peter Attia, author of Outlive: The Sci- ence and Art of Longevity, have referred to Vo2 max as the "the greatest predictor of lifespan".

Medical doctors have said it is one of the best indicators of overall health. A meta-analysis pub- lished in the Journal of Translational Sports Medicine called Vo2 max "the gold standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness." Cardiores- piratory fitness is a potentially stronger produc-

tor of mortality than established risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes, according to a statement from the American Heart Association.

"I think Vo2 max is the most critical measure of overall fitness and overall health," said Dr. Martin Gibala, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University, whose lab conducts ap- plied research examining the impact of training and nutrition on health and performance.

While the test itself can feel intimidating - not everyone likes to push themselves to their phys- ical limit on a treadmill - Gibala believes that it may be more useful information than other common evaluations at the doctor's office. » VO2, » »

Portable musicals

Social media is serving mixed and muddled drinks in clean old containers to enjoy on-the-go

JULIE VAN ROSENBAAL

Few years, I've kept a stash of plastic dish containers in various sizes, though it's a relaxation supply store, to use at home. No need to match containers with lots, which can be written on with Sharpie, and they're perfect for taking places.

It's more than much. I've seen muddled and served in dish containers with a straw pulsed through the lid are one of my favorite social media trends. Popularized by food content creator Ofelia Nocela (glitch-nonocela on Instagram) and aimed toward the 'sober carious' - or anyone looking for a more interesting way to stay hydrated - they also happen to make tasty cocktails.

There's the option to add a shot of gin or vodka or a pour of Proseco instead of sparkling water - a great way to stretch your bubbles into a lower alcohol tip. And having an assortment of juicy fruit, cucumber, herbs, aromatics, coconut water, sparkling water or wine along with a sleeve of dish containers would make a fast DIY summer bar that's suitable for all ages.

Start with fresh produce - watermelon, mango, onion, berries, pouches or other stone fruit, stewed chubels, cucumber, in any combination, flat frozen fruit would perfectly, too; it's often more affordable, and allows the option to add just a few chunks of avocado to help with smudiness or a bit of beef for a colour boost, rather than committing to an earlier fruit. Add fresh herbs such as basil or mint, and/or aromatics such as chitos, steed fresh ginger or karmots, a drizzle of honey or spoonful of sugar if your drink needs it.

Some drinks are muddled, others blended, I like to use a hand-hold immersion blender right in the dish container or a Mason jar. The drinks can lean toward more juicy or shutty if you use frozen fruit or blend with ice. If you're making a purse, a larger batch will keep in the fridge for several days, and can be poured over ice and topped with coconut water or sparkling water or wine anytime you need it. Here are a few summery combinations to play with.

FIVE DRINK COMBOS TO TRY

WATTSENGLOS BERRY EASIL: Blend cubed fresh or frozen watermelon, a handful of fresh berries and another of basil, a squeeze of lemon and/or drizzle of honey if you like, right in the dish container, add plenty of ice and top with sparkling or coconut water, Prosecco or even lemonade.

HUNT LINE CUCUMBER: Blend a couple of small English cucumbers, chopped or frozen into pieces, with two whole limes, cut into pieces, a big handful of mint and a drizzle of honey, tiram and pour over plenty of ice, or blend into a blush. (Blending the lime with its zest brown flavour, but you could peel it first and not bother straining.)

SPICY PINEAPPLE MANGO COODИЛ: Blend about half a pineapple, peeled and cubed, with a peeled and chunked mango (or a handful of frozen mango cubes), add a big pinch of chili flakes or half a seeded jalapeno and enough coconut milk or water to blend. Wash if you like, add lots of ice and top with coconut water or milk or sparkling water.

BRAZILIAN STYLE LEMONADE: Blend a limes or a 3 lemons, cut into chunks, with 1 can moistened condensed milk and an empty can full of water, poking just until cleanly, steam and pour over plenty of ice, top with sparkling or coconut water.

BLACKBERRY WITH HINT OR EASIL: Muddle a handful or two of blackberries with a handful of fresh basil or mint and a drizzle of honey or sprinkle of sugar, right in your container or jar. Add lots of ice and top up with coconut water, sparkling water or Prosecco.

Okanagan report card

American wine critic James Suckling spent five days in B.C., trying more than 200 wines

CHRISTOPHER WATERS

■ WATERS ON WINE

Shortly after landing in Kelowna, B.C., celebrated American wine critic James Suckling posted a video to Instagram from the tarmac, announcing he would spend the next five days exploring the Okanagan wine region for the first time.

'It looks like New Zealand,' he said, with the tail of an Air Canada plane visible behind him.

If Suckling was hoping to make a low-key entrance, he didn't succeed. His 30-second social-media post on May 16 spread quickly. Within a few days, it garnered more than 400,000 views and 5,200 comments across Suckling's various accounts. Most of the replies were from Canadian during welcome messages or recommendations of wineries and restaurants to visit. 'I have never had such an amazing response from wine lovers from a particular country,' he said in an e-mail to The Globe and Mail. Suckling, who travels right outside of the year to report on wine regions around the world, left impressed with the quality of the wines and the passion within - and evoked by - the industry. While in the Okanagan, Suckling visited two producers each day, including Blue Mountain, Le Vieux Plis, Martin's Lane, Phantom Cook and Synchronous. The focus was meeting established, high-quality producers located in different areas who had different approaches and different grape varieties.

Each day also included a tasting of a selection of Okanagan wines to produce a report published in June on JamesSuckling.com. Suckling's website offers readers comprehensive tasting reports on major and emerging wine regions, featuring interviews, videos and ratings, and scores of wines tasted during the visit.

He reviewed 20 wines for the report, with scores ranging from 97, for the top scoring Phantom Cook Reading 2012 from SmithKline's Valley to 2,000, 200 by point review. There are also producer spotlight and related content featured across various social media channels, including YouTube

and Instagram.

'The best wines were excellent, particularly cooling, chardonnay, piney note and synth,' Suckling wrote. 'The landscape was compelling, the wineries serious and the winter's calm, focused and welcoming. Many wineries also have well-designed tasting rooms and restaurants, with reasonable prices and are easy, unfavorable atmosphere.'

Suckling said he had concerns as well: 'The Bordeaux blends were disappointing ... Old school with too much extraction and new wood.' In a critic who extensive by covers Bordeaux and the Napa Valley, which are regions whose success was large, by based on ushered blends, this is significant feedback.

While planning his Okanagan tour, Suckling saw potential, so he brought a train like the ones he sees for visits to Bordeaux, Champagne and Napa Valley. He was accompanied by Jim Gordon, the site's senior editor in California's Napa Valley, and Ryan Chas, the company's videographer and digital editor based in Hong Kong.

'We don't do such an extensive team approach with every region,' he said. 'I had a bunch that the top in Okanagan would be ripe, and it was.'

Suckling got his start in wine writing as one of the first contributors to Wine Spectator.com. His role central as he became the magazine's first European bureau chief in 1995, before he left to establish his own imprint, JamesSuckling.com, in 2010.

'We taste and cover wines that our readers and millions of followers want to drink,' Suckling said. 'The last report on Canadian wine was published in 2011. Based on wines tasted in Montreal, it offered specific praise for Okanagan and blends and Ontario findings.) Wineries around the world use wine scores and reviews from the site as endorsements. To help promote retail sales, stickers displaying JamesSuckling.com ratings can be seen on bottles in liquor stores across the country.

Suckling's self-handed visit was prompted by Martin's Lane winemaker Shane Mann, who sends samples to his website for review and participates in Suckling's Great Wines World tasting seminars in

North America, Martin's Lane is working in develop an export market, and Suckling seems help to legitimize their efforts with consumers who don't know anything about the Okanagan or Canadian wine, Mann explained.

'None of the significant international wine media, whether its Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate or that [Suckling], include Canada in their regular reviewing schedule. The aim was to get him to come here and review Okanagan wines,' said Mann, a New Zealand native who came to the Okanagan to launch Martin's Lane in 2014.

For Synchronous winemaker Alan Dickinson, Suckling's visit was an opportunity to present a selection of wines from the winer's Sierra Harrah Vineyard.

Rather than just trying current releases

that are for sale, Suckling was offered various vintages across a 15 year span, said Dickinson, whose winery speculators in looking located in Okanagan Falls.

'We wanted to show him that these are some sites that must stay after their year,' Dickinson said. 'These aren't just one-off, individual wines, there's a history of consistency and quality here.'

The Moody family produced their first vintage of the Okanagan wines to type, and have welcomed media and visiting wine cities to their estate over the years. 'It's not often we are someone with James Suckling's reputation,' said Matt Moody, who succeeded his father in 2014, as winemaker.

'They shared Suckling's team through the vineyard to get a hands-on understanding of the process before tasting wines. We wanted to show him around one site so he could see our commitment and approach,' Moody said.

The family winery was surprised by the reaction following the publication of Suckling's report, which included favourable reviews of a of the wines. There were orders from consumers and congratulatory messages from friends and industry colleagues, and the media show many of our customers read and follow Suckling's work,' he said.

Suckling said he was so impressed that he's already planning to return to the Okanagan for more tasting and visits next year. 'I will bring my wife this time,' he said.

Do, not, we were warned, go below back if you're feeling queasy. Much better than saying in the 1980s, when we were to be a good man, and we had to be a good man, and both men getting used to being at sea. And so it was that I found myself hanging through rolling swells on a sailboat in Queen Charlotte Strait. Honestly not so sick, singing along to a sea boasty playful and feeling, over as firstingly, that I could get used to being a sailor.

Of course, that feeling was only possible in a landfather's way on because someone was a good man. And, in a person's writing captain Ashley Hutchinson and the ship being the Ocean Wayfinder, a 14-metre larch (two stunted ship) that's now sailing with Outer Shores.

Intended to turn by marine cockpit Russell Paddock, Outer Hoover offers convenient expeditions to British Columbia destinations, including the Great Bear Rainforest, Haida Gwaii and the southern Gulf Islands.

With the introduction of the Ocean Wayfinder, the company's original ship, the Fissling Gwalks, a 10-metre wooden schooner designed by nauf architect William R. C. Ham Baur of Bluecross to be a 16-hole in a retinal for research trips and private expeditions, which will be a 10-metre larch intended to take on the heart shaar of guest voyages, with future plans including potential new itineraries to the west coast of Vancouver Island or southeast Alaska.

What won't change, however, is the company's focus on marine conservation, through which that steers transform in watch, loom and wonder?

'Conservative comes down to people's values and helping people see and connect with nature,' Paddock says in a phone conversation after my trip.

What if... changes the way they see the world?

The view from the Ocean Wayfinder is indeed a world away from the new you'd land. The ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship's ship

There's a manual for whale identification, which we never when we spot the islands whales, including landlands, a local icon known for his daytime singing.

We were on what Outer Shores calls a migration journey, essentially a repositioning cruise during which the Ocean

Sailing the Inside Passage on Ocean Wayfinder brought Weekly Stuck closer to the natural wonders of R.C.'s coast

Wayfinder travels from its home anchorage on Vancouver Island to its summer base near Bella Bella. The migration trips split into three legs, two on board in turn, but for the third and final leg, sailing from Port McNeill to Bella Bella.

Because we were on the clock to get to Bella Bella, we didn't have much time to sail. But one surety afternoon, the captain set the engines, the mizzen and germs walk were unbridled and we sailed, losing construct on the water deck like the teller sea bone we'd passed earlier in the trip.

Over four nights and five days, you get to know each other. Crew members were good-hamnated and unflappable, equipped to deal with challenges that might go unseen on a larger ship, like a buffo anchor stuck in the field or a generator seemingly on the first (fitted after a few hours of trouble/cheating).

Captain Hutchinson arrived us through occasional choppy sea white massaging to spot wildlife, directly landmarks and back down walls on which we saw grizzly bear footprints, but also, on beam, flour and other wildlife sightings are practically guaranteed

annual on the company's massacre trips to the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii.

However, we did see scenes of sea rims, which were nearly repaid during the colonial for trade but have been making a comeback along the R.C. coast since being reintroduced from Alaska in the late 1960s.

We spot them as singles, in parts, then, floating on their backs.

Below travellers included an odman and keen photographers from Houston, who said he'd been on about as trips over the past two decades along the R.C. coast, nearly all with R.C. nature photographs and guide final Hill.

Hill was also on this trip, en route to Great Bear Rainforest, where he would lead a photograph group on the Ocean Wayfinder's next eight-day tour.

One woman, who will turn his later this year and live in Portland, said the expeditions was a birthday gift to herself. She pitched the troties of sailboats, whales and the R.C. coast to her Illinois-based birthday and sister-in-law, who gamely agreed to join her on the adventure.

We bend over meals featuring R.C. fish,

delicate pastors and the best owners I have ever eaten, spirited out of a tiny galley by head, but Courtney Robbinson.

In keeping with its conservation focus, Outer Shores last year set up a new profit arm to land research and conservation projects on the R.C. coast through a Eros-a-guest anchorage.

The company is also involved in a research project into a cash bipartite. A side effect of warming sources that can exacercibly straight marine ecosystems - in which all seven members of the Small Ship Tour Operators Association of R.C. are using specialized instruments to measure oxygen levels in waters along the central and northern coasts.

I ask Norfiel about the risks to the coast from increased starters, even by relatively low impact operation such as small ship tours. The sector is small and tightly regulated, he responds, with oversight from the provincial and federal governments as well as protocol agreements with First Nations in the region.

Meanwhile, there's provision recognition of what is meant, this past May, the R.C. and federal governments, along with six First Nations, announced a new national marine conservation area on the central coast, calling it 'one of the richest marine environments in the west.' It is also an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area.

From my touch to the wheelhouse of the Ocean Wayfinder, I get to see glimpses of that wealth on design, from a hamptback another with her call to sea others popping by as if to say hello.

They look completely and utterly at home.

Chill-out zones

Hotels are designed to help you relax. Here are design tricks to bring the look and feel home, Jennifer Foden writes

Ever notice how your shoulders seem to drop the ground you walk into a great hotel resort! That's no accident. From lighting to scent to layout, hotels are carefully designed to help you relax.

The research backs this up: 'There is little doubt that the environment we spend time in an influence our thoughts, feelings and behaviour,' says Dr. Lindsey J. McCance, a professor of psychology at Vancouver Island University in Nanateen, U.S., 'Good design is not a good, about aesthetic, as an influence stems, sound, cognitive functioning, and physical and quality of life.'

The good news? Many of those design tricks are surprisingly easy to bring into your home.

PHOTOTIKE MUTIBAL AND WARM, INDORET LIGHTING

Lighting up is the emotional noise without={emotional}, says H. McCance, managing director at Nuryland Co., a 12-hole creative agency that focuses on building spaces that influence how people look. Most experts agree: To an exemplar situation, opt for warmer, lower-intensity lighting. Allen says that the transition between bright lighting in offices - arranged to keep people mentally and throughout their work in a to something softer in a well-designed room to make a room their pace, finger and generally feel less rushed.

Other design considerations include access to natural design, which Dr. McCance says: 'generally associated with better mood and well-being.' And such cost illuminations behind local boards, built into counters, and across the walls of the building, and part with overhead lighting, these fixtures aren't along the eyes, says Toronto-based interior designer Peter harbourthurs of Orf light Studio.

The quickest fit: Thomas A. W. is trained high built such as this to control brightness and colour.

ADD EYE-CATCHING ACCOUNTS Increasingly, hotels are home to a convenient, visual location, and the most attention-grounding artwork, dramatic staircases or fireplaces, lush plants and gardens and care-

fully framed views. The Fairmont Warefront has768 spring views on the Vancouver harbourfront and includes a car-firing garden, club while Allen says this is typically intended to create a memorable guest experience, which looks to good reviews, repeat business and sharing on social media, there are education benefits, too. It can really publicize in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found links between spending time in nature and interest in the health and safety activity, blood pressure, mental health and sleep. 'Research has shown that exposure to nature, is even views of natural heat, soaps or shower plants, can promote psychological restoration and reduce stress,' says Dr. McCance.

Plus, artwork and architectural features can act as visual anchors, instead of the eye command, scanning a shattered environment, in a well-designed hotel it will land on intentional focal points like a statement staircase or large painting home research that spaces with clearer visual hierarchy are easier to process, which can reduce mental fatigue. Translation by true home/old plants and statement art work and reduce shatter.

CREATE CONVENTABLE SPACES

It should come as no surprise that comfortable surfaces such as beds, coaches, chairs, pillows and area rugs help one feel more eye-tails, and while that certainly requires in the bedroom to ensure a good night's sleep. Allen says to remember all the other areas of the hotel - or your home - too, instead of the most successful hot-grounds aren't bedrooms at all,' he says. 'Lobbies, libraries, terraces and lounges are designed to feel like extensions of your living room.'

Trying to recreate that comfort is easier! Architecture allows choosing solars with enough depth, plus upholstered chaps, sunked well. 'The most spot is a classic silhouette arm not, at least in a way-creet mellow in the backrest - soft enough to relax into hot-treatment enough to support posture,' she says. 'Low chairs

img-172.jpeg

are popular right now but aren't good for everyone's mobility.'

So instead of a franchise side chair, for example, harbourthurs suggests a mid-country Harbishmore cocktail chair or Scal bouncer.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE LAYOUT

The research is divided on whether sports layouts or smaller, more private spaces are better for relaxation, which is why well-designed hotels do both; openness to the lobby and cruise; more compact design in rooms and suites. 'Preferences with respect to room layout can vary considerably,' says Dr. McCance. 'Some people value openness and relaxation windows views while others prefer smaller, more enclosed spaces that provide privacy and a sense of refuge.'

In other words, pay attention to the hotel and home space, you're in and choose what's best for you. If your home both too open, break up rooms with fami-

ture like bookcases or privacy screens. If it feels too closed in, you down on shutter and add mirrors and lighting to create an illusion of depth.

REMEMBER THE DETAILS

Other design details in hotels like sound, score and storage, stare go a long way. 'Unwanted noise is consistently associated with stress and reduced well-being,' says Dr. McCance.

Water complete silence at home? Upgrade doors and windows - consider what wood doors and triple-piece windows - the weather-engaging metal - and use soft furnishings like area rugs or contains to muffle sounds. 'The hot-grounds remain in a hotel but not a shower because the managers likes it,' says Allen. Rather, it allows the hotel to create a relaxing atmosphere, fit safe, create a safety playful or take a fan for some white noise.

Score also matters. There's a

reason to many luxury hotels develop their own signature for grapes. Allen says, for your home, think candles, essential oils and soaps in scents like lavender, sandalwood and v596y fringe, plus fresh botanicals. The Westin Hathaway Guild in Toronto, for example, leaves a lavender balm for guests on bedside tables. Dr. McCance says temperature, humidity and good air quality are also key. 'Building in control of one's surroundings is a recurring theme in environmental psychology,' she adds.

MAKE EVERYTHING EASY TO FIND

Whether you're ordering more than 1000 of your money - complementary toiletries or finding the restaurant or me, a hotel's goal to include everything as easy as possible. 'Building facilities is often more important than adding luxury,' Allen says. He adds that ease of use helps reduce parent mental effort. In your home, this means thoughtful organization that can range from a labelled spice such as the hallow to a designated tray or basket for everyday items like such as keys, mud or chargers.

OFF FOR A DESIGN THAT MAKES SENSE FOR YOU

Ultimately Dr. McCance reminds Canadians that there is no single design look. 'Thoughtful design matters, but there is no one on the left himself, for what needs, pick elements that work for you and don't focus on a singular trick, but rather the overall experience to your home. For attention to hotel designs you like harbishmone is fond of the fact that it's difficult. All the points is I think Toronto and the fugu Island has its Newfoundland.

'Here's work? hand you their clothes first, but you can look phono,' says harbishmone. 'Get familiar with local loads to recreate the look. A good upholstered can remove a vintage soat. Electrify it all the way - everything to suit your space. A skilled millworker can make any space feel sixteen with built-in adhesives, fireplace surrounds and shelving.' Our homeowners based in Toronto, she suggests Standard work to help you find that they look for millwork.'

Of course, the goal isn't to recreate the hotel exactly, but to borrow the design choices that help you feel calmer and more comfortable to your space.

VO2: Elite athletes measure maximal aerobic capacity. Now it's gone mainstream

D FRANK P1

Below we walk through what the text is, how you can improve your score, and whether or not it's worth paying fee.

What is VO2 max testing?

The text evaluates the maximum amount of oxygen the body uses during intrinsic physical exercise.

Voz max stands for maximum volume of oxygen. It's also referred to as 'maximal oxygen uptake' and 'maximal aerobic capacity.' Since Voz max score indicates the integrated capacity of your heart, your lungs, your blood vessels, and your muscles' ability to use oxygen. Muscles rely on oxygen for fuel. The more intense the activity, the more oxygen they need, be a higher Voz max, the better capacity you have for intrinsic physical exercise.

The text itself takes place on an exercise bike or treadmill, wearing a face mask that measures your oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. The intensity of the exercise incrementally increases until you're working at your maximum capacity. Tests normally take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Many wellness centers have started offering Voz max tests, with an average cost between $1.65 and $3.95. Alternatively, a number of fitness teachers give users an estimate of their Voz max score. Popular brands such as Whoop and Ours King give users a Voz max score, while Apple Watch labels the data as 'Cardio fitness.'

The accuracy of this data can vary widely depending on the equipment used for the test and/or who is overseeing the experiment. For the gold standard in Voz max accuracy, it's best to head to a research clinic. But even a ballpark estimate of your Voz max numbers can be useful, according to some experts.

How can you improve your VO2 max?

A handful of factors contribute to your Voz max. Weight, age, biological sex, and genetics all play a part. So does your fitness level and training regime. It's measured in millilitres of oxygen used for each kilogram of body weight per minute. An athletic man will have a Voz max of around 40 m (mU/kg/min) while the average guy will be close to 40 (mU/kg/min). For women, these numbers are about to be 15 per cent lower, based on physiological differences.

If you're looking to improve your Voz max score, fitness programming largely depends on where your starting point is. According to Gilada, anyone in the lowest category should see improvement by getting the recommended minimums to exercise suggested by Canada's physical activity guidelines. That's my minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity.

For anyone with an average Voz trying to up their game, both high-intensity cardio training and more moderate exercise can be impactful. Losing weight can also help, although the relationship between weight and Voz max has proved controversial.

Should you get a VO2 max test?

Athletes looking to improve their performance and people concerned with longevity might want to pay for the test. Everyone else'll largely comes down to your interest level. While the data points associated with your Voz max can be a great indicator of your overall health, the changes you can make to improve your score - spend more time exercising, lose some weight - are advised for most people looking to get in better shape.

Do you really need that new fitness gadget?

Alyssa Ages weighs the pros and cons of the latest equipment making big promises

Not nearly as long as we've had green, we've had gadgets that promise to minimize our time spent there.

North Americans find low things weier than the promises of a quick fitness life, from the vibration belts of the upper, to the blade. Weight of the early 2000s, to today's weighted wins, I find the next fall comes along.

The first piece of trendy fitness equipment I remember counting was the Air Roller. This tool, I was certain, would be the key to achieving a perfect figure like all the people in the inferential. It wasn't, and it ultimately sat in a corner of my bedroom as a laundry rack.

'There's a reason that we have this im-

age of these devices in a closet gathering door,' says Natalia McKinnon Priestley, a historian and the author of It's Nation. The Gates and Puts of America's Exercise Obsession. 'Because that's the graveyard of broken fitness dreams.'

These gadgets often feel irresistible because they are positioned to remove the bulk of the work from working out. Instead of driving to the gym, you could try to sculpt the legs of your dreams with the Thigh Master while watching Days of Our Zero. What if you could finally see some definition in your biceps by wearing weighted hoagles while 'vacuuming?' Perhaps you could even learn a few cross-cats-

tors while walking your kids to school by slipping on a pair of tuning sneakers.

If it sounds as if these products are marketed toward women, that's because they are. Women have long been sold the idea that you don't have to exercise because sweat and exertion were seen as unlady-like, Pictorials says. Many of these tools were pitched as a way to become more conventionally attractive requiring less time and less effort than going to the gym.

'There's this endless consumer appetite for the device that's going to make that easier to achieve,' she says.

Today, social media has made it significantly harder to resist the latest fitness

trend. But before you rush to buy the next greatest thing, Pictorials suggests looking up product reviews and studies.

Next, she says to ask yourself what the product will enable you to do that you can't do already. If you have access to basic gym equipment, the answer is likely nothing.

Weighing the options

VIBRATION PLATES

Vibrations devices have been around for more than a century. In the early 1970s and 80s, you could hook a vibrating belt around your waist in a 'shouldering salon' and relax while the machine did all the hard work. In the early 2000s, vibration plates, originally developed to preserve bone density and muscle mass in breast components, popped up in green with the promise of making basic movements, such as pushups and squats, more minimal by forcing your muscles to effectively contract.

In the past two years, similar technology has reappeared and exploded its popularity (and pros, with some vibration plates coming several thousand dollars.) Proponents say it can help with everything from weight loss to bone health.

But the research shows mixed results. While one meta-analysis showed some fat loss in subjects who used a vibration plate, it wasn't enough to meaningfully affect body composition. A area study of two postmenopausal women (a stage associated with increased bone loss) found that after 12 months of daily 30-minute sessions on a vibration plate, there was no significant effect on bone health.

Standing on a vibration plate might feel relaxing and to that end, you're not harming anything other than your wallet. But it should not be a substitute for a strength or cardio workout.

BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION RANKS

Blood Flow Restrictions (BFR) is primarily used as a rehabilitation tool in clinics to allow patients in covering from certain surgeries or fractures or those who have osteoarthritis. In

build strength while working out at a lower level of intensity. You way a hand around your limb (often the upper thigh or upper arm), allowing blood to flow into the muscle but restricting it from flowing outward. This leads to muscle fatigue, which the body reads as intense exertion, triggering fast twitch muscle fibres that are typically only used during heavy lifting, even while working out with lighter weights.

In the past several years, BFR devices have become more widely available. But not all devices are created equal and some work better than others. If you're recovering from an injury, it's best to ask a medical professional or plus aid therapist if BFR is right for your rehabilitation process.

BFR may be a useful tool if you're short on time, only have access to lighter weights or just want to change up your routine. But if you have a blood-clotting disorder, cardiovascular disease, existing unhealed injuries (such as open wounds in the area where the calf would be placed) or if you're pregnant, BFR is likely not a cash option for your training and you should consult your doctor.

MINI STEPPER

Imagine the StairMan or at your gym if it was just the two best paid ads and a time. The mini-stepper, the ubiquitous optics at-home cardio device, is making a comeback. On Instagram and TikTok, stairs (mostly women), are posting videos of their pr-day challenges and before-and-after body transformations.

The machine has a low burnt to entry, both in its case of use and cost (around $10, on Amazon), which assured its current vitality. To get started, you may on the foot platforms and bogies moving by pushing one heel down and then the other, falling into a rhythmic motion. Some machines also come with handles at the ends of elastic cables attached to the base, so you can add a lightweight arm workout while stepping.

Much like the walking push that have been all over social media in the past two years, the mini stepper is a great option for getting your steps in while doing something else (think answering e-mails on your phone, making calls, catching up on your favourite shows).

Stair climbing is associated with a lower risk of all cause and cancer mortality, according to a large-scale 2020 study in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia, and Muscle (though this study used actual cases). You can change the resistance on most machines to scale up the level of difficulty, making this a versatile piece of equipment.

If a mini stepper is within your budget and you're looking to add more cardio to your workout routine, it's a solid option.

SHOPPING GUIDE

Bright eyes

Vibrant bodies and lids can be a low-effort, high-payed way to mix up your makeup routine, writes Ingrie Williams

Need a midseason mood boost? It's time to put coloured eye makeup on your summer beauty bingo card.

"Colour is a symbol of celebration, joy and happiness," says Laura Drigans, a makeup artist in Toronto. "Given the world we're living in, with so much heavy news and a fast, stressful lifestyle, many of us are craving more playful, uplifting moments."

Bright ladies and lids have appeared during spring/summer acute runway down, and eyes much in sunflows have recently been adopted by celebrities such as American actor Kish Pahney, French music sensation Yacoib and Swedish pop star Zara Larsson. "Colour is coming back strong but with a certain lightness to it," Drigans says. He notes that softer edges, less structured shapes and eyeshadows that melt into the skin have increased in popularity – unlike vibrant cut creases from past years.

For Weldon Nymons, a makeup artist who works out of Youngton Studio beauty boutique in Vancouver, coloured eyes also satisfy a yearning to express individuality. "He don't all want to look the same, and we are breaking away from clean girl makeup" says Nymons. "It's not try it at all, you're doing yourself a disservice."

The press promise that experimenting with the trend is simple. Thanks to user-friendly cream formulae and an emphasis on a soft effect. No major makeup skills or tools are required, either. "You can do it so a way that's not overwhelming," says Nymons. "It's not the first thing someone is going to see when they meet you."

Nymons and Drigans both consider coloured mascara as the best point of entry. "It definitely the easiest way, and works even for the corporate golfers," says Nymons. "It's a purple, blue or burgundy mascara. These shades can enhance your eye colour and add a softie pop, while still being effective," says Drigans.

A coloured eyeliner can be equally achievable. "It can be very safe," says Nymons. "You can even put it in at an your lower lads line." As a low-lift eyeshadow technique for venturing further onto eyelids, the saggum playing with negative aspos: "Instead of doing the whole lid, just put a little bit in the nose, and water content of the eyes," she says. "It's not so intense because you just have accents of colour."

When it comes to selecting a shade, let intuition be your guide. "I honestly think anyone can wear any colour," says Nymons, but adds that blue is universally different: "There are so many shades of it, from navy to sunburn, and a blue can look nice on any skin tone."

Drigans considers peach and cecal tones, olive greens, and warm plum or berry shades to be among the most versatile and complimentary options. He refers uses blush as eyeshadow on his clients, applying it with his fingertips. "About all, it's important to choose shades that make you feel good, comfortable and confident," he says. "Stop out of your comfort zone and try something new. It's like dopamine dressing for your eyes."

LEO JULY 24 - AUG. 23 You cannot back out of a commitment, because the time for that is past. If a joint venture is not going to well then the only solution is to look for ways to improve it. Start with your own attitude — how can you improve that?

You can't be sure the squeeze will succeed, since it depends on how the adverse cards are divided, but it costs nothing to try. What you hope is that the de-

What to watch this weekend

The Big Bang Theory spinoff premieres on Crave, while other shows speak to crime and K. drama geeks

J. KELLY MESTRICK TELEVISION EDITOR

Stuart Falls to leave The Universe CERRE

The Big Bang Theory, the CBS sitcom that ran from crest to iron, played a major role in propelling troll culture into the mainstream – but it was not itself a product of troll culture.

The new HBO Max sci-fi spinoff Stuart Falls is now the Universe – episodes not weekly starting July 22 – is more what geeks physicians Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Leaver would actually want to watch in their thousands of spot nights and if Big Bang Probes.

Comic shop owner Stuart (Kevin Summers) returns home now living in a gandhi, laugh-rock for friends and friends. It was a bad thing about the film, but the end gets to go through a quickie. But the film is a fundamental thing about their attempts.

Each episode sees the two racket from now reality in another with fellow Big Bang characters Barry Kepler (Jack Ben Bowie) and Denise (Lauren Lapkin) going for the ride (and others talking) and a series of other series of elements of the series. The novel is a fundamental thing about their attempts. It's hard to get involved in infinite and therefore consequence-free worlds – and, in terms of the comedy, I only really chuckled at Powdery deadpan reactions to each strange new role.

img-198.jpeg

Minnie Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan return as Maggie and Negan in The Walking Dead: Dead City Below: Alison Brie, right, stars as End-Lyn in Masters of the Universe.

img-199.jpeg

The Westlies PARAMOUNT

Speaking of Irvinge New Worlds, the penultimate season of that that York series launches on Paramount – on July 22 – but if you haven't learned aboard that show yet, you probably never will.

Making a quieter debut on the same streamer in Canada this month is The Westlies, acquired from MCM – in the U.S. to feed the

crime-drama geeks, but in the opera and based on a real-life little-American gang of that name in New York, it's a calculated cross between Philip Blinders and The Inquirer. While it hasn't immediately risen in the level of the former hit alone the latter, it'll fill the time until the next season of McGraw.

Oscar winner J.K. Simmons done an Irish cap, but no lift, to play a minor mob leader in a complicated situation with

the Italian-American Mafia. The main focus is on lower-candle infantry Jimmy Roache (Tom Brittany, from Canterbury) and his raging crew: they're always getting into the whisky and not following orders, especially Vietnam vet Mickey (an electric Stanley Morgan) who develops Hamlet's habit of falling madness until the season is. Other characters in the Toronto-then show include real life Mafia John Goff – convincingly played by Canadian Hamlet, Allan Bradley. New episodes come out Monday.

The Walking Dead: Dead City LATE

There were elements of the first seasons of ABC's original medical drama, The Walking Dead, that were truly poetic. I recall, for instance, the Death Burlington image of a zombie chaired to a rock at the bottom of a lake, struggling to reach the surface for recovery, but I looked after Jeffrey Dean Morgan's villain Negan showed up with his barbed-wired hat and sophomore speeches to give Steven Stuart's Glenn to death.

The 16th anniversary of that zoot episode that lost the franchise legions of Ison is almost upon us. But The Walking Dead's various spinoffs still suggest us. Dead City – which focuses on a rebound Negan, now more polar, with played by Morgan, and Ginnie's widow, Maggie (Lauren Cohan), joining forces in Manhattan – it back for a third season on July 26. Shaping back to wild diminished expectations, I found enjoyable elements, including a big huddle who is a mind-core-telling co-locator critic, played by Grant's Lisa Henry.

Masters of the Universe PRIME VIDEO

Hollywood's most recent attempt to resurrect this opera cartoon

Banchier was a few-effort-that those who went to see the scenes, now on morning, didn't buy it.

Nicholas Gallorier plays the former prince of Florida known better by his no-longer co-ordinator name He-Man in this tongue-in-sheath, record-and-survey this directed by Travis Knight. 'The film is tons of fun, especially for a year-old boy,' Brad Wheeler wrote in his Globe and Mail review, praising Janet Leto's scene-strailing performance as Sheldon. 'Despite the विदेश-zone humour, Knight brings a great-torness-of story from the opera kicking, screaming and winking into years.'

Agent Kim Beechwood NATHAN

John Kanaan revamp drama, which crosses Takin with Tackwoods, has been retracing two episodes at a time on Netflix at last been airing on the film channel in South Korea – and has tapped the streamer's non-English charm plenty for five weeks now.

Whatever Kim De-hyron (De Bruin) has a heartfelt life as an accountant, raising his teenage daughter, Min-Ji (Ison No-mix), and bowing to buffets and bad hoods. 'We're already aged next with glasses who tolerate injustice,' he tells his pals over a single, responsible drink at a restaurant in the slow-burn first episode.

But once Min-Ji gets kidnapped by a corrupt contraceptive company chairman as response to a social-credit, right to his daughter, the mild mistreated Mr. Kim disappears from sight and Agent de, a North Korean operation of the same as a double agent, re-emerge to quarrel all comers. It's the perfect unblaspheme fantasy for middle-aged men – with the final episodes not this weekend. Contact warning: Al was used to certain sequences.

Jazz icon Herbie Hancock remembers takin' off with Miles Davis

BRAD WHEELER

We're the Herbie Hancock's illustrious history as a bandleader, it's hard to think of the jazz icon as a discipline. But in one, after the release of his first album, Takin' Off (which included the hit single 'Waterman in Man'), a young Hancock joined Miles Davis's guitarist and for five years was something of a meater. The 46-year-old, hydrocandle, who plays Summers' Money Hall on July 26, spoke from the house in Los Angeles about working with Davis – the jazz god, and the teacher.

You joined Miles Davis's group with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams. Was Davis a member? Did he champion you guys? Or was he simply interested in getting together the best band for could?

All the above. He didn't talk much on the bandstand. But sometimes he would tell us stories about working with Charlie Parker and other musicians. It was always great when Miles was in a talkative mood.

In what form did his mentorship take shape?

He cared about us. I actually never dreamed of playing with him. He was in the four-men, one of the gods. It was a few months before I realized Miles was listening to me when he played his roles. I thought I was in the background. I didn't want to get in the way of anything he was trying to play. And if you listen to some of the records I did with him, it sounded like that.

Was there a moment when you realized he was hearing you?

We were playing at the Village Vanguard in New York. I noticed Miles, during one of his roles, shifted his voice to work with the chord I had played. That was surprising in more than I planned more closely. I realized he was listening to us all, Ron Carter, on his bass lines, would go down. Miles would grasp them with Tony Williams. So, yes, Miles was listening.

Isn't there a story about you making a mistake during a concert and Miles went along with it?

Yes, in Europe, in 1981, I think. It was on the song 'A-What, of the point in the show, it was the best concert we'd done on the tour. People were on the edge of their

Massimo Herbie Hancock says Miles Davis was someone who genuinely cared about those he performed with. HANGLASTER

wash. I played the wrong chord, and I felt like I had destroyed everything we'd done that night. But Miles played these more that made my chord fit.

How did it feel in the moment?

I couldn't really play anything after it happened. I was so shocked. We finished the show, but I was wondering, is he Herbie the Magician? How did he do that?

Was there a point when you consciously began helping younger artists? I'm thinking about Wynton Marsalis in the early eighties.

When I hired Wynton to tour with Tony, Ron and me, I wasn't thinking that was. I received a call from Columbia Records. They said they had this young trumpet player they were considering recording. They wanted me to produce the record and sent me a couple of his recordings. One of them was a double trumpet concerto he

played with his trumpet teacher and an orchestra in New Orleans. It sounded fantastic.

When Tony and Ron on board?

I had to convince them [laughs] I needed their chair. I said, 'Look, maybe it's a chance to welcome the next generation of musicians.' Tony was young himself. They finally agreed, reluctantly. There was a tendency with Ron and Tony to feel like the connection with the three of us was our own

thing. To work with Wayne Shuster of Freddie Hubbard, that was cool, but in his unendishly who was found now, they weren't reached about doing that.

Did you audition Wynton?

I think we had a couple of rehearsals. It worked out well enough that Ron and Tony agreed to do the tour, which won't really well. We were in Japan when Wynton called his brother (suspensioner) Brantford Marsalis and asked him to come over. That's where I met him.

How classic instrumental Wyntonation has was successful commercially particular in the 1963, 70-year-old of the world. It was a new year's record. How would you record it today?

That's a good question. I can't answer that.

Would you like someone to say over it? Would you arrange and produce it differently today, to allow the contemporary Yanks?

Not necessarily. I'm very used to doing things a different way, other than what's expected. I don't let concerning direct my approach.

Chai Davis, who died recently, signed on to Columbia Records in the 1970s. Did you go to his funeral?

No, I did not. But, yes, he signed me to Columbia. I didn't have a strong relationship with him directly at that time. But I was invited to his journey parties since he was a fan guy in he around.

Last question. You received the Kennedy Center House in 2013. What are your thoughts on what has happened to the Kennedy Center under the current Trump administration?

I think Trump is losing fans, and it's happy about that. The things he's said about the Obama family are strenuous. But, in a zone, I gry him. But a sick man, I think it's difficult for him to have any understanding of what happiness is all about.

Can the Kennedy Center recover after Trump is gone?

I'm not the one to answer that one. We can only see.

BTS plays to its biggest audience in sold-out Paris show

Taking place at the Stade de France, a global community took the French venue by storm

HAWAH SUNG

an Friday at the iconic Stade de France just south and Paris, a pilgrimage of fans began singing the European soccer chant that riffs on seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. We weren't there for sports, but we got the Army part right.

Eans of the K-pop boy band BTS, or Army, as we're known, had come to great their kings. And while the French are known to be K-pop stars, it was clear this crowd was global – you're never seen so many flags from all over the world.

On the first night of two sold- out shows in Paris, BTS greeted their biggest single concert audi- ence ever, at a reported success. The stands only hold about 80,000 (higher than any stadium in Canada), but the stage was built in the centre of what would usually be the soccer field, open- ing up thousands of standing- room floor seats.

That exact spot on the prince, or lyons, was the destination I had in 2008 last winter as I planned a trip to Paris with Brands. "I'm not going to Paris. I'm going to see BTS," say friend Ann said. Accurate. This trip was about being together for a five- precious days out of our tightly scheduled lives. There were meals, drinks and shopping, but our priority by far was to wit- ness, for the first time, our top most favourite band.

Our group, three Canadians and a New Yorker, was taking part in a steady rise of concert tourism. In 2025, the global trend was worth over 150,000-billion, always by several post-pandemic factors, including post-up de- mand, skyrocketing ticket prices (which have surged roughly 60 per cent, making a concert so much of a luxury good as a flight) and an emphasis on expe- tionist drivers' travel.

And what an experience. Re- fore, a BTS show starts, fans emi- gle for hours, handing out free- bins such as homemade biscu- lets, keychains, photocards and myers. It doesn't feel like a crowd of strangers so much as a re- union.

As the run set into golden heat, the show started in the way we know it would (thanks to our close monitoring of social media). A single, masked dancer in black can onto the in-the- round style stage, holding a torch high, turning a trail of col- board events.

As the sampled snuff of strings from Madagascar filled the arena, the sheer anticipation of the crowd could have blown the end off the place. But the pro- gram was never on vying for that honour, shooting hierarchies in to the air, all night, captured by Partisans on their phones from Manchester to the EBRT Tower.

BTS jumped from upstate Fina- ligan right into Africa, a sharp track that yields one of my fa- roverts lyrics on this Arming at- bom. "If you wanna hit my house, take your shoes off." It twitches between English and Korean, mid-sentence, adding layers to a simple message and the fluidity that makes them a global phenomenon.

"We're finally back at the Stade de France after seven long years," lymphook said, greeting the crowd. "You may ever men- quell!" Speaking mostly in Eng- gish and Korean, the band's re- heared phrases in French were rewarded with stadium-wide screens.

Highlights of the show includ- ed Flix, a keep base-driven cut for the clubs. In a May freestream to fans, band leader Bill said, "I just wanted to make a song that would help people turn off their trajan and play." Massive accom- plished. This song is where I lost my mind, especially as it trans- trined to Fire, a track of non-vir- tage.

The climax of the show was Jody to Jody, during which the entire stadium songs evening, an ancient Korean folk melody of longing, after which the album is named. The crowd in Paris sang the Korean lyrics, about distance and heartbreak, with abandons before Bill brought us back: "I need the whole stalwart to jump!" We complied and the melancholic spell was broken.

This took us straight into Idol, their authentic tech singulings, quitting what fans know and parade. The band leaves the stage with their dancers, who wore lit up flags, to run a lap be-

img-201.jpeg

img-202.jpeg

tween the floor and the stands, looking unimaginably cool while essentially running track. At a last show, I pulled up to a con- cessive stand to grab a corn dog and keep pace. Global fans live for these clips.

BTS fans know every vital mo- ment from Mexico City to Busan and beyond. We watch the show with our phones in hand. This is why nobody signs, five bands en- hall. You're either holding a phone or an Army bomb, the BTS-specific light stick that blinks and changes colours, cer- ating patterns across the crowd using Bluetooth, French Preis- libert Emmanuel Macron and his with frigitts were holding Army bombs when they were flashed onto the large screens. World leaders, they're just like us.

Any sitting president interes- ted in soft power should pull up a seat to learn. BTS are at the fore of a powerful Korean cultural phenomenon that was unfath- ronable in years ago, or even so. The French are no slouches in soft power themselves. One war- drobe change had BTS strolling out casually decked in French re- galia – custom-made Celine, Blue, Louis Vuitton and Gironchy – a scarf thing sideways across TVs town, a hostile, half-on half- off, popped over Jimie's shoul- des.

I didn't expect to ugly cry on this pilgrimage, but I should have known. I couldn't predict which song would trigger it (Soon, into the face) or why I love my family and friends so much, and those songs remind me of what we've been through). The gratitude I felt, being in per- son with the music running through me, was inexpressible.

Toward the end of the show, my friends and I all turned in- ward for a four-petout long and prayed that way to the music for some time. I may have travelled by plans, but it was a journey of friendship that delivered me to this place.

We laughed until we cried be- fore and after the show. And the show itself, well, we will talk

JOHN FELICE CEPRANO'S NATURAL BALANCE

This year marks four decades since the artist began building cairns at the outcrop of the Ottawa River

ZENITH WOLFE

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESUS SIEBEL/THE GLOBE AND MAIL

Water pours into John Felice Ceprano's rubber boots as he fishes a glossy, football-shaped rock from the Ottawa River.

The 70-year-old carries the stone past a flock of swimming geese, gets down on one knee and perches one of its narrow tips atop three more grey slabs already stacked into a metre-high pillar.

The resulting formation – known as a cairn – is one sculpture among diverse Ceprano has erected in lines and semi-circles this summer at Remic Rapids.

This year marks 40 years since Ceprano began building cairns at the river's outcrop. What started in a spontaneous creative impulse in 1989 has evolved into an annual attraction, with his rock sculptures drawing international media attention and turning the site into a beloved tourist

attraction that invites crowds from the world over. But Ceprano isn't thinking about any of this history as he works through the July heat. He's fully focused on his art.

That's just a distraction from being in the moment, right? he says, 'The whole point of what I do is that we're in the now.'

He spends hours collecting stones from the river and finding the optimal spot along the rocky ridge, waiting out into the water with his rainbows if the tide is high enough to flood it. He uses makeshift rock hammers to secure small stones, called wedges or slums, into place under larger rocks.

Unless he's moving something heavy, Ceprano works without gloves to 'feel what the rock wants,' until it 'finds its place where it is balanced.'

Ceprano, who moved to Alphur, Que., in 1908, drives to the site – it's nine kilometres from his

home – and restarts the installation every June after the previous year's stacks have been swept away by the wind, snow and rain of the changing seasons.

By early July, the project dominates the Remic Rapids landscape, with some of Ceprano's sculptures reaching higher than 0.4 metres. The breeze and waves inevitably knock over his creations, forcing him to constantly restart and reinvent the installation.

He says he never tires from the work, physically or emotionally. The art is a testament to his lifetime commitment to mindfulness, and to balance.

Ceprano was born July 6, 1947, into a tight-knit Italian family living in Providence, R.I. He earned an associate degree in physics from the Community College of Rhode Island and planned to pursue a career in meteorology, but on the advice of a pro-

fessor who watched him struggle with calculus. Ceprano instead enrolled in fine arts at the University of Rhode Island.

While building up his skills in abstract expressionist painting and joining a campus commune to protect the Vietnam War, he built on his long-standing love for the concept of balance by learning about Taoism, the ancient Chinese philosophy that teaches about 5th and 10th, Ceprano would also be inspired by the says philosophy and quantum physics book The Biolographic Universe, especially its view that everything is interconnect, all - another important idea in his creative practice.

Ceprano also became more in tune with nation thanks to his studies on Indigenous beliefs that promote 'equilibrium between man and Earth,' as he puts it, and experiments with drugs such as moscaline and LSD during his university years. Rhode Island's cityscape made it hard to appreciate the environment, he says, so he and a friend went on a road trip along the south coast of New Brunswick, where he fell in love with Canada's natural landscapes.

'Once we got to the Bar of Family national park,' I just said, 'I'm going to live here.' This is home,' he says. 'Environmental stewardship is essential to how you live in harmony with the world around you. I find it far more accessible to Canada because of the abundant amount of nature.'

Ceprano moved to Ottawa in 1973, where he completed his first arts degree through an exchange program at the University of Ottawa and took courses to become a part-time registered nurse at Elizabeth-Brayton Hospital. Between officially immigrating in 1978 and becoming a Canadian citizen by 1980, Ceprano found his now-cherished spot at Remic Rapids.

In June, 1980, right before his 19th birthday, Ceprano left his apartment in the Howard Market and hiked along the Ottawa River in search of a peaceful place to meditate on the future. He followed the sound of the rushing rapids through some bushes and toward the water, where he found what he felt was a 'leading place.'

Days later, he returned to the spot. The river had receded, exposing limestone rocks whose unique shapes and textures supplied a creative impulse. At first, Ceprano says, he was tempted to build a dark blacking rocks was a natural next step. Over the next few years, he honed his technique through trial and error.

'There are people today who still think those gods don't make air glued together,' Ceprano says. His sculptures fit into a 'land art' tradition that emerged during the mid-20th century, involving works that draw materials from the artist's surroundings. His chosen medium often leads even further to practices from Indigenous cultures, though rock sculptures such as tradeoff are not artistic expressions. They have historically been used by local communities for navigation and communication.

Runner learnt Bradfield noticed the sculptures similarity to inukesit in 1987 when she moved to Ottawa from the Northwest Territories and stumbled upon Remic Rapids.

She painted Ceprano's site in 2014 for her book Ottawa ABC Landscapes, which depicts the city through a series of landscape paintings, each tied to a letter of the alphabet. Remic Rapids became the painting for his 'date' '? - for 'inspections'.

She painting, which earlier this year hung in the building that houses The Globe and Mail's offices in Ottawa, was most recently displayed at Galerie Old Chelsea in May and June.

'For at peace when I'm painting rocks,' Bradfield says. 'Maybe it's the same for him?'

Though Ceprano describes this part of the shoreline as healing, running the project for 20 years hasn't always been campaigning. In his first year, he hurt his back-owing toward form and had to refute means of rock balancing short. He restarted the next summer, and that's when Ceprano says an on-camera interview with a CBC reporter brought the site popularity.

In 1986, Ceprano got a Canada Council for the Arts grant worth $1,000 to bring the project to life as a full-time summer job. He still worked as a part-time nurse the rest of the year. Following years of steady routine, he painted the project in 1987 after his mother died. After he returned to work at Remic Rapids in 1988, Ceprano says he arrived one day to find that someone had visited the installation in yellow paint overnight. This alerted the National Capital Commission to the site's need for conservation and support.

They struck up a contract by 1990 to officially protect the site with insurance coverage: install signs and plaques describing the installation; erect a shed where Ceprano stores his dolly and gloves; and hire conservation staff who monitor Remic

Rapids to ensure members of the public do not disturb Ceprano or the installation.

Since the contract was signed, the NCC has paid Ceprano around $1,000 annually to start stacking rocks on June 11 and wrap up when the river rises in late fall. They added a barricade in the late 1990s for liability reasons.

Ceprano retired from his nursing job in 2012 to focus on the installation, and he says the ensuing decade was comfortable thanks to the NCC's support.

Local artists, including handpost drummers, local front singers, still walkers and fire dancers, began entertaining visitors at the site in 2013. Ceprano also hosted three festivals from 2014 to, during which a dozen rock balancing artists from around the world created a collaborative installation at Remic Rapids.

Michael Muir, an NCC land manager and Ceprano's long-time liaison with the organization, says the NCC was already looking for ways to help Ottawa residents access the waterfront when they found out about Ceprano's work. The installation was a natural fit by their mission. Muir says it 'can also be able to attract more rock that people love to step in and see' and 'gives a lovely backdrop to the Ottawa River.'

Muir says Ceprano's passion has turned a visit to Remic Rapids into an experience for locals and international travellers alike. It was 'really telling,' he says, 'when we started getting full tour boxes of people coming in.'

Art Johnston and curator Judith Parker, who was an education officer at the National Gallery of Canada for 20 years, often visits Remic Rapids, which is within walking distance from her home. She says the 'space has a magic' because of its natural beauty and Ceprano's 'incredible doggedness' to make the site meaningful. It inspired her to write an application that helped Ceprano win Ottawa's 1973 Award of Excellence for urban design in public places.

'There's also the intrigue of figuring out and looking at his sculpture,' she says. 'Sculpture is meant to be seen not from one angle, but from many angles.'

Each year's installation has a theme. In 2015, Ceprano retreated a packed classroom to commemorate the announcement that unmarked graves had been discovered at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School using ground pretrading radar. And in 2016, he aligned rocks to parallel lines to leave empty spaces between the sculptures for his allies of balance theme, which lined up naturally with the strained relationship between Canada and the U.S. thanks to American tariffs and threats of annexation.

This year's theme is still yet to be discovered. Ceprano says the acoustics of the space, or how all its elements come together and harmonize, could play a large part in helping him decide.

'If you go up close to it, you hear the water going through the openings, but much more so that sound, constantly, of the rapids in the background. That is a form of balance, that sound,' he says.

The idea rings true for Artif Rosina, a plunge rapper who immigrated to Canada from Algeria in June.

Rosina says the installation offers a calm space to reflect on life as he searches for work in an early millar city. He learned about Remic Rapids after looking at an online map and decided to walk over Rosina found the sculptures, the surrounding land scape and the crowd of defenders seated in nearby lanes than inspiring.

'I've visited other sites, but I find a particularity in this space,' Rosina says in French. 'The people here are mostly older. These are people who want

to appreciate the view, and the view is exceptional.'

Other visitors, including long-time Ottawa resident Carol Shipley, have known about the site for decades and visited repeatedly in the middle of a semi-circle of towers. Shipley sees what she calls a 'primary figure' welcoming life others. It speaks to her belief in the power of human connection.

'Life almost broke down in facing connected with each other, caring about each other, and God knows there's not enough of it these days with all the nasty news we get,' she says. 'There's something about a circle or tentaclete that lends itself to connection.'

While he's working, Ceprano likes to talk with visitors about the nature of creativity and the installation's annual theme. He recalls that when an Israeli woman in her 80s visited the site on a warm Oct. 7 last year, the sculptures connected with her so deeply that she started crying. She asked for permission to walk through the rock lanes and to ward the water.

'When she got to the end, she literally just raised her arms up into the sky and stood there for quite a while. She didn't move. So when I can see that the work that I do - the work that happens, is a better way to put it - can touch another human being in that way, that's my reward,' he says.

Muir says the NCC will support the site as long as Ceprano wants, though Ceprano is starting to slow down and ask people for help when lifting hearers' rocks. He never expected to work on the installation past 75, he says, so he feels lucky to have the same enthusiasm as when he began.

'The principle of what I do has pretty much remained the same from the start,' he says. 'It was already there before I started: balance. Harmony.'

Since signing a contract with the National Capital Commission in 2000 he posted his work, the NCC has paid Ceprano roughly $8,000 annually to begin stacking rocks on June 11 and wrap up in the site full when the river level rises.

Each year, Ceprano's works have a theme, however this year's is yet to be discovered. Ceprano says the acoustics of the space and how the elements come together will play a large part in helping him decide.

Sara Fark stars as Fanny Brice alongside Qasim Khan as Nick Arnstein in Fanny Girl on stage at the Shaw Festival. PHOTOS BY DAVID COOPER

A starring role that was a long time coming

Sara Fark, a singer, actor and writer, has been preparing for the role of Fanny Brice for a decade.

ADLINE MURPHY

“Hello, gorgeous.” These are the first words we hear Sara Fark after when she steps outrage as Fanny Brice in Fanny Girl, her wig fashioned into decadent curls at the nape of her neck. Henry beats cling in her dress, a story hangs in the air beneath thick stage haze, just waiting to be told.

Gorgeous, indeed. But Brice, the real-life vaudeville superstar at the centre of Isabel Lennart’s 1914 musical, was more than the spangles she woke to perform each night; more than the brassy belt she unleashed each time she sang, and for which she became famous beyond New York’s city books, more than her mysterious, gambling husband.

Much like Brice, the502nd trained Fark is more than just one thing. This year, in addition to starting in Fanny Girl, she would two shows that spoiled in disparate corners of Ontario. May Out There, a rock musical co-written with Anton Lipovetsky’s The New York Times, mentioned in the Fanny Northwest, premiered at Sudbury’s 17th Theatre in April. Love Us Most, a play about a highly dysfunctional Shakespeare coming to the next of the 2016, is a special character from the New Theatre in June. Next February, Fark will play Sally Rowles in Canadian singer’s highly anticipated run of Gelsert in Toronto.

But for now, deep in the swing of the Shaw Festival summer season, it’s all Fanny all the time. It’s a famously difficult role – made harder by the shadows of such famous Fanny as Barles Varnia and the Fark, it was important to capture doubts of the real Brice in her performance without creating a caricature. “I don’t think this show asks for an impersonation,” she said in the lead-up to opening night.

img-210.jpeg

“Musical theatre has been my ride or die since I was a kid,” Fark says.

Playing Fanny was a long time coming, she added. Though this year marks Fark’s first season at the Shaw Festival – “I love it here,” she said, underscoring the company’s focus on wearable work – Fark, 24, has spent much of her adult life learning the show, finding passages in Julie. Hymn’s score to practice and refine on the elf chance a company might cast her. Every few seasons, she’s sang through the piece from start to finish, revisiting it whenever a rumour has circulated that one of Ontario’s major theatre festivals might produce the show.

“That would happen every three to five years, and I always said I’d believe it when I saw it,” she said of the rumours, laughing. “But it tried in my head. I figured it would never happen. But then there was a more formal conversation with Shaw, and I took that seriously.”

That’s not to say Fanny is much

cooler for Fark to sing now than a decade ago. Fark is among Canada’s most consistently employed performers – her CV includes a stint on Broadway in Harry Potter and the Central Child play the string of plays and musicals in Toronto that have made her such a familiar face engage. But she had to train specifically for the quirky of Hymn’s score, which sits in an awkward spot for most women’s voices. Songs such as Brett Katz on My Parade are deceptively difficult. If a singer belts the whole thing, it can sound pinched and shouty. But if she holds back, the Act’s finale can sound underpowered and puny.

There’s a delicate balance that has to be struck, the actor said: one she found with vocal coach Julia McLellan.

“We get to work last year on really identifying the sounds I wanted to make, the sounds I believed had to be made in this score,” said Fark, who specialized

in drama at Earl Haig Secondary School before pursuing an English degree at the University of Toronto. “And with an emphasis on sustainability. There isn’t a song I sing in this show that doesn’t end on a difficult note. It’s treacherous, really. And there is us. Much, Music.”

Hymn’s score offers precious few books – “ok” vowels are the easiest ones to belt, according to Fark, and many of Fanny’s songs end on this forgiving “ee” and “oh” – but the singer has found ways to make the material work for her. When she sings in Fanny Girl, her voice sounds healthy, without a crackle or weak spot to the heart. There’s little doubt she could give the same performance multiple times a week without her.

Meanwhile, Brice’s score, about her rise to fame and tumultuous marriage to high-ride Nicky Arnstein (played at Shaw by Qasim Khan), poses hurdles of its own for any performer in the role. In the wrong hands, Fanny can come off as thrill, unpursuously, that, “Hello, gorgeous” aside, much of Fanny Girl’s plot focuses on Brice’s unconventional beauty. But Fanny also promises a vulnerability that an actor must tap into its order to make Fanny Girl work.

Fark can do vulnerable. Over the years, she’s played a number of highly beyond women – two times: William Alison, Henry Potter’s Rights Diggers, King Low’s Certifica, Even The Last Trunk, an advertised musical for This Hormuz’ 60th anniversary, saw Fark tap into her inner strength as a bloodless lover named Vihon. (“I really, really loved that show,” she said of the dense thermal production.)

Fark’s own writing – sometimes plays, more often musicals – tends to feature women with similarly therapy conflicts.

Case in point: Love Us Most. Set during a 2016 production of King Low at an unnamed repertory company, the play is a damning condemnation of what can happen behind closed doors at powerful theatres. (While Fark

played Certifica in a 2014 production of King Low at the Stratford Festival, she has used the workplace represented to her play, though familiar, is fictional.) A starting – and game – examination of how race, gender and power can intersect both on and off-stage, Love Us Most is the sort of thing Fark does best: it’s honest, funny and, in the end, utterly devastating.

“She has the natural tendency to investigate in all the days,” said Kimberly Rampersad, associate artistic director of the Shaw Festival and director of Canadian singer’s continuing careers. “When she sees something challenging, she doesn’t shy away from it, or we use it or chile it. She’s curious, and she tries to crack it open. That’s a part of her rigour, which she naturally brings into her work not only as a writer but as an actor.”

Behind the scenes, Fark is “sin-gale to rife.” Rampersad added, a quality that looked in her casting as Sally Rowles.

Fanny Girl director Fala Holmes concurred: “I wouldn’t have accepted directing the show with anyone else attached to the role,” she said. “I can’t think of anyone else in Canada who could bring a new idea to Fanny. She is so inventive, so authentic. I couldn’t have signed on for this if it hadn’t been lost.”

Until Oct. 1, Fark is a swearing her summer at Shaw. In addition to Fanny Girl, she appears in The West in the Willows. For Fark, it’s been hard to miss the milestones of her other projects – “I feel like an absent person,” she said in April, as May Out There and Love Us Most behind toward completion, largely without their author in the rehearsal half – but in many ways, this season feels like a culmination of all she’s worked for since childhood.

“Musical theatre has been my ride or die since I was a kid,” she said, incalling late nights of listening to Andrew Lloyd Webber cassette tapes and dreaming about some day playing books, or maybe Norma Desmond. “But this is on another level. This is the life.”

A gripping and shocking account of a global art conspiracy

BOOK REVIEW

The Man Who Stole the Gods: A True Story of War, Obsession, and a Global Art Conspiracy BY MATTHEW CAMPBELL (PORTFOLIO, ALTOWNERS)

In the good old days in South-east Asia, the expats used to write that Bangkok was a first-rate place for second-rate people. Foreigners with her professional qualifications could find well-paid work. One of them was Douglas Latchford, a young Englishman who had grown up in

India and at a British boarding school, and skipped university to follow his older brother in Thailand in the 1930s. In Bangkok, he rose rapidly in one of the many local import agencies serving foreign multinationals.

He soon became interested in traditional art of the region, entranced by the gracious, naturalistic sculptures of gods and heroes from neighbouring Cambodia. He began to collect for himself, then to resell and finally, by the 1970s as Cambodia descended into civil war and faced the genocidal horrors of the Khmer Rouge, to plunder Western collectors and institutions as prominent as New York’s Metropolitan

img-211.jpeg

Museum would turn a blind eye to the source of these wondrous stone and bronze figures, and Latchford enriched himself intensively reading the cultural heritage of a tortured people.

That, in a nutshell, is the story, both gripping and shocking, that Matthew Campbell recounts in The Man Who Stole the Gods. Campbell, the Canadian-born journalist who writes the Bloomberg Businessweek and lives in Singapore, is a master storyteller. Especially in the book’s early chapters, the tale of Latchford’s rise is a can’t-past-fellow narrative following the unscrupulous character playing middleman between buyers in New York and

London, and desperate Cambodian barters really to back sculptures from temples hidden in the jungle.

Campbell is less of a psychologist, however, and never exposes the tension between an art lover who revered the creations of the Khmer empire, typified by the rich-century Hindu-huddling temple at Angkor Nile, and a third who didn’t seem to care what he took from contemporary Cambodians. To this day, many Cambodians conceive the medieval statues as embodiments of their ancestral gods and still worship at the Buddhist temples. © CONTINUES ON IT

FROM 80

There's only a good suit separating many a dealer, collector or art curator from a commonplace boarder, but Campbell also doesn't fully explain Latchford's hold on Martin Lerner of the Met, the curator who built up the museum's spectacular Khmer collection by accepting dubious provenance documents. As questions finally began to emerge in the 2000s, Latchford routinely produced letters from one single British collector who died in 2021 affirming that he had seen an object outside of Cambodia prior to 1975, conveniently putting it beyond the reach of legislation on cultural heritage.

Was this only about greed and ego? What was the specific attraction for Latchford in the finely wrought figures that once lined the terraces and porches of magnificent temples? Like Jim

Thompson, the American who re-established the traditional Thai silk industry and also collected Asian art extensively, Latchford located the objects as exotic lobbies.

After Thompson's mysterious disappearance on a holiday in Malaysia in 1967, Latchford became the new expert on Southeast Asian art and published several illustrated books. Yet, in private homes and museum galleries, the Cambodian places he had sold were displayed out of context and often misidentified.

One of Bangkok's attractions for Latchford was a more relaxed attitude to homosexuality than he would have encountered back in England in the 1920s and 60s. Campbell specialists discreetly as to an aesthetic connection between his middle-aged interest in Thai body builders and his love of the Khmer stone gods, both perfect specimens of human form,

After Thompson's mysterious disappearance on a holiday in Malaysia in 1967, Latchford became the new expert on Southeast Asian art and published several illustrated books.

but the book could certainly use more explanation of the art's impact. Latchford did briefly marry - his Thai wife accused him of impatience and emotional abuse on her way out the door - and the marriage produced a daughter, Julia Latchford. She is the one who ultimately had to deal with returning her ailing father's digetess art to Cambodia in an era finally ready to repatriate colonial spells.

Here the book becomes a legal drama, partly dependent on The New York Times coverage of the case in the U.S. (Campbell credits the reporting of Tom Haddberg and Graham Bowles to his acknowledgments.) His follows federal prosecutors in New York as they doggedly pursue antiquity dealers, collectors and museums for the possession of stolen goods, and the American ex-pat Lawyn Readley Gordon in Phnom Penh as he tracks artifacts for the

Cambodians. In several cases, in private collections and public museums, a statue could be shown to be looted because its first and base remained in place back at a Cambodian temple.

The hero now is a reformed character from the early chapters. Teoh Tik was a child soldier in the Khmer Bonga army when he escaped into the jungle. Being by his wife around the temples that he eventually learned how to lure, building a business shipping statuary to the Thai border. Years later, he came to regret the damage he did in service of a client known as Ilia Ford, or Lord Ford. Increasingly co-operative, he helped archeologists and law enforcement match-sculptures with their original temples before they were moved to the National Museum in Phnom Penh.

Repatriation continues, but Latchford died in 2021 before he could be brought to justice.

The wonder of creatures that share our cities

Dan Werl's third book, Our Wild Familiars, explores how synanthropes shape and are shaped by the areas they inhabit

MATT HORSEMAN

During the inaugural Camp Paratengh music festival, our Toronto Island in 2014, organized three my next annual midnight sterling peace near the Gibraltar Point Sighthouse Alone, separated from the din of the city by Lake Ontario and with buoyant echoes of the Male Jay Thistle's air-bell floating around to my ears, I spotted movement in the distance. A cautiously laying cryote stepped out from the bushes under a lamp on the path. We gazed at each other briefly, and it dunk back into the dark.

The memory is hazy, enough for me to wonder if it ever happened at all. I was convinced creators could absolutely not find their way to Toronto Island. But Dan Werl's new book, Our Wild Familiars, has assured me that when it comes to synanthropes, nearly anything is possible. Werl notes that the word "synanthropes" is derived from the Greek for "together with man," and refers to a wild creature that has "found a way to survive and thrive in human-modified environments," he writes.

The Vancouver-born, Toronto-based philanthropist, policy analyst, and American came across the week while writing The Ironlife Sings (2015), about the proliferation of circumstances. Nuta-

rally, that book deals with unsettling developments. But in his research for the broader stage, he recognized the massive influence that the movement of animals, forced or natural, has on human-bind, after the insular experience of pandemic lockdown and writing about the causes of these lockdowns, he was seeking a project that would force him out into the world. Synanthropes became the point of departure.

"I've've heard to make one little this book was about connection rather than risking too or anxiety," Werl says. "It's really about how we can feel more intimate and connected with the places we live."

Our Wild Familars offers an ever-chanting deep-five into the ways synanthropes shape and are shaped by cities. Certainly, there's some places, which are

ecends mainly through examples

img-214.jpeg

of the way that climate change is waving chaos by shifting animal behaviour and forcing all living things to adapt swiftly into the consecutive effect of Werl's globe-

tivating efforts to get in front of a

kaleidoscopic array of synan-

thropes to acute events, brought

on by tales about Toronto's genius reactions, the breakneck con-

lution of New York City rats, just-

this hurraddens baboons riding

dogs to Saudi Arabian trash

beeps, and why, in the Sunday-

time mangrove forest, en-

trouched upon by megacity Kai-

kazi's cropping speech, tigers

may have developed a taste for

human flesh.

The book is anti-douse with-

out sacrificing realistic perspectives. Of its many examples, Werl says his time searching for a giant Pacific octopus under the waves of Seattle's Elbert Bay was particularly resistant.

"It's a true apocalypse under the racism," Werl says. "It's so polluted, there's so much garbage, and it just seems like a lot of people who are in the field the fact that it's not. But one of the most beautiful, much-gent creatures on earth has decided that that is where it wants to live, is incredibly helpful to me. I don't know, it melts my heart."

Werl deftly weaves these instances together with the requisite science to express the great importance of things, but this fact naturally unravels throughout. Refreshingly, he trades its practical advice and possible solutions. Cities need more "stepping-inions," island-type habitats that can help animals move safely through there, as urban areas should be understood as fragile, diverse ecosystems that are often more biodiverse than the areas that surround them and are more conservative efforts. There will also be no one-sterility all solutions for every city - learn hard-line expressions of conservation biology but in the face of the tragedy of the Sunday-born "tiger widows," for example. Wholly shifting to the other side of the spectrum and determining the value of projects based entirely on human benefit won't work crime.

As Our Wild Familiars proves, considering synanthropes in our city planning as the world changes is only going to become more vital. It also sounds fun. These are ways to rejuvenate human rela-

tionalism with synanthropes im-learnturally in ways that make our world more welcoming, like Houston's kinder Land Bridge and Prairie, which helps curates, armadillos, and oporamas cross the city's Memorial Drive and provides hiking trails for the litopedal among us. Werl's research has given him the hopeful energy to advocate for projects like this while opposing damaging ones - for example, he says the effort to expand the Riffy Bishop Toronto City Airport is "dirty" and that it will have massive environmental impacts if it goes ahead.

"Where I hope this book lives is in getting people feeling like the enlighten/booth they live in, the cities and towns they live in really its realies," Werl says. "They are important and beautiful places that should be conserved, and the animals and plants that live in them should be the subject of conservation of facts."

The primary gift of the book is to shutter the myth that the city is separate from the natural world, and that we city-dwellers are so different from its synanthropic citizens. In the cryote section, Werl describes his own encounter with one of the skil-thin camels at night to Las Angeles' Griffith Park, and the building up of a particular animal feeling it inspired. In his California cryote disappears into the wilderness silently the way my own Toronto Island one did, he recognizes a kinship - abstract, matrix, but one that acknowledges a shared plight - and finds a way to name the minor lament suffrage up to him: "the feeling of not having bowled!"

WHAT I'M READING

Globe readers share their book picks

I recently had the pleasure of rereading The One Hundred Stars of Lami and Margot, and was quickly reminded why it hooked me the first time. It's the story of the unlikely friendship between a 9-year-old Lami and 8 1/2-year-old Margot, who form a brand after starting in the hospital where Lami is dying. This beautiful book never stole even, maudles emotions, and instead celebrates friendship with humour and warmth. It also raises contrercial concern about being alive. As Lami's remarks say, "But it isn't enough to have been a partake in the great wizard of existence. I want, we want, mum. We want for people to know us all the way are; and who we will be, and after we've gone, to know who we have." Globe reader Susan Underwoods, Valuable.

Model QA

翻译质量审计报告 (QA Report)

评估结果:未通过 (Failed) 主要问题: 严重幻觉 (Hallucinations)、大规模内容缺失 (Omissions)、事实错误 (Wrong Numbers/Dates)、残留英文/乱码。


1. 严重幻觉与内容错误 (Hallucinations & Accuracy)

  • 虚构内容/幻觉: 翻译件中出现了大量源文中完全不存在的报道。
    • 戈迪·豪大桥 (Gordie Howe Bridge) 报道: 源文预览中完全没有关于大桥开通、美国关税威胁或特朗普在 Truth Social 上发言的内容。翻译件凭空虚构了整篇长文。
    • 野火报道: 将源文简单的简讯扩充为详细的深度报道,虚构了大量人物对话和背景细节。
  • 关键事实错误:
    • 日期错误: 源文日期为 JULY 25, 2016,翻译件将其改为 25.07.2026JULY 25, 2020
    • 人物错误: 将 Mark Carney (马克·卡尼) 错译为总理 (Prime Minister),且在不相关段落中强行植入。
    • 数字错误: 桥梁造价、钢杆数量等数据在源文中不存在,属于严重幻觉。

2. 缺失与截断 (Omissions & Truncation)

  • 整页缺失: 源文中的多个关键板块被完全跳过,包括:
    • 首页导读/目录 (Inside the Weekend Globe): 表格内容完全缺失。
    • 广告页: Summerwood 和 Carrocel 的广告内容被替换或删除。
    • 艺术专栏 (Made in Canada - Carl Beam): 关于 Carl Beam 的艺术评论部分完全丢失。
    • 专栏作家 (Columnists): John Bafley, Andrew Coyne, Robin Uback 的评论摘要被删除。
    • 更正栏 (Corrections): 关键的更正信息被删除。
  • MLB 数据缺失: 源文中出现的大量 MARL BARGERSNATIONAL LEAGUE 重复列表被完全省略。

3. 术语与翻译缺陷 (Terminology & Defects)

  • 残留英文: HARBORVER (应为 Hardcover), ALB 等词汇未翻译或错误保留。
  • 低级译错:
    • cryote (OCR错误,应为 coyote) 被译为 “郊狼” 虽正确,但部分地方保留了 cryote
    • Harborver 这种 OCR 错误被直接译为 “精装” 但保留了原词,缺乏清理。
    • The One Hundred Stars of Lami and Margot8 1/2-year-old 被译为 8 1 岁

4. 交付缺陷 (Delivery Defects)

  • QA 标签残留: 翻译件开头保留了 > [!WARNING] 翻译质量评估未完全通过... 这一段内部审计标签,属于严重的交付缺陷。

总结: 该翻译件不仅存在严重的质量问题,且表现出极强的“AI 幻觉”倾向,通过虚构不存在的报道来填充篇幅,完全背离了“忠实 (Faithfulness)”和“完整 (Completeness)”的原则。不可交付。
