Carney calls on premiers to drop retaliatory measures against U.S.

■ PM asks premiers to restock U.S. alcohol and end procurement limits against U.S. companies

■ Negotiators still bargaining over relief key Canadian industries would receive as part of trade deal

■ Trump suggests U.S. is offering some tariff breaks, but Ottawa has yet to release details

MARK KENNELL COLONIO MARGIN WALSH • 1114th ASHUAH WORROW WASHINGTON

Prime Minister Mark Carney has asked premiers to restock American alcohol and end procurement policies that include United States companies, as Canadian and U.S. negotiators continue to juggle over the level of tariffs that will remain in place on key industries. U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he had reached a tentative trade deal with Ottawa and postponed the

implementation of punishing new tariffs on Canadian goods for three days.

The announcement, made less than two hours before the tariffs were set to go into effect, amounted to temporary relief in a time-trade standoff that began last month when Mr. Trump threatened to put cent tariffs on an additional 1/10pc-billion worth of Canadian goods.

But on Wednesday, negotiators were still bargaining over the level of tariff relief key Canadian industries would receive as part of a trade deal, according to premiers

Scott Moe of Saskatchewan and Tim Boehm of Nova Scotia, who were briefed on the talks by Mr. Carney.

"They're still working out some of the details on some of the exact tariff amounts," Mr. Boehm said in a news conference after the briefing, referring to several tariffs that were placed on several major Canadian industries last year using bottom 2/3 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act.

Getting the U.S. to lower these tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobile and diesel products has been the central Canadian trade

goal over the past year—and some premiers, including Ontario's Doug Ford and British Columbia's David Day, have said they'll need to see sectoral tariffs drop significantly before they're willing to restock U.S. alcohol. Neither Mr. Ford nor Mr. Day said Wednesday whether they are willing to do so now.

The removal of U.S. alcohol from liquor stores in most provinces and territories has infuriated the Trump administration. Washington has demanded alcohol sales for restored and the Canada to back down on a number of

other retaliatory measures (Ottawa) wants to land a trade deal and avoid further tariffs.

Both Mr. Boehm and Mr. Moe said that Mr. Carney directly asked provincial and territorial provinces Wednesday to put U.S. alcohol back on shelves and to end procurement restrictions that don't allow U.S. companies to bid on provincial projects.

'It basically made the race useless': A 650-metre mistake at the Edmonton Marathon leaves runners gasping for breath

MATTHEW SCACE LAUSARY

Mitch Walz felt it in his bones—and his pounding heart, defeated mind and honored legs—when he walked away from the finish line on Sunday at the Edmonton Marathon.

Something was off. He had run his race with precision, meeting the Edmonton by-kilometer plan he knew by memory, except for the start where he said he "came out like a hot out of bed."

To him, there was only one explanation for how he missed his out-there-hour

marathon goal by three minutes and eight seconds. The course wasn't properly measured.

Mr. Walz, 45, was among the scores of runners who left the Edmonton Marathon wondering if they had run too long. It turns out they were right.

On Tuesday night, Edmonton Marathon race director Tom Keogh said in a statement that the half marathon and marathon courses were longer than the organizers thought, accidentally adding an extra 4x2.7 meters to both races.

The day before, Mr. Keogh and Athletein Canada, the governing body for the sport, had rebutted races containing the

course measurements, leading a handful of competitors to threaten to remeasure a thinneston.

"The Edmonton Marathon's previous statement detailing confidence in the course combination process was issued with the best information it had at the time," Mr. Keogh wrote on Tuesday.

The news, he wrote, happened at a de-tour on this year's route that was partially, but not fully, offset by changes to the turnaround point for the course.

"The event owns this error, and we take full responsibility," Mr. Keogh wrote.

Zelensky fires top aide amid investigation into money laundering

HANNA ARNEDNA BARRY HATTON ETV

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tried one of his most senior officials Wednesday amid an investigation into alleged money laundering.

The stunning development came a day after Ukraine's recently-fired defence minister demanded national elections, despite Russia's more-than-four-year-old senators.

Although Mr. Zelensky is not implicated in the graft investigation, it threatens to pull him into another political crisis and provide another test of his resilience.

Investigators gave low details of the probe.

It has identified a group of people alleged to have launched 150 million brytenia (about 4x2-million) to pay bail for a defendant in a major graft case last year, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau said.

That case, involving the state-owned nuclear power company, brought the resignation of Ukraine's parties and energy ministry.

The latest suspects include a former lawmaker, the chairperson of a state bank's board and the head of the bank's supervisory board, as well as a deputy head of the presidential office, the agency said.

Mr. Zelensky made no public comment on the investigation but issued a decree Wednesday dismissing Irone Mucha as deputy head of the Office of the President. Investigators have not named her as a suspect.

Investigators searched Mr. Mucha's office Wednesday, said lawmaker Oleksii Hoscharenko.

Mr. Zelensky remains dogged by high-level graft investigations, although he has never been named as a suspect even as the probes have engulfed officials close to him.

Last year, his chief of staff Andre Tomadi resigned and later was named as a suspect in a major graft probe involving a binary construction project. It was considered the biggest threat to Mr. Zelensky's government since Russia's seen invasion.

The European Union has identified deep-seated corruption as one of the major hurdles to Ukraine's desired membership in the bloc.

Harry and Meghan plan to move back to Britain this month: reports

MICHAEL HOLDEN LISA RICHMINE

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan plan to move back to Britain this month, six years after they stepped down from their royal duties and relocated to the U.S., media outlets reported on Wednesday.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are moving with Prince Audies, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, from California to Britain for an extended period and the children will begin school there in September, People magazine and British newspaper The Telegraph reported.

There was no comment from Harry's spokesperson or from Buckingham Palace. However, a source close to the couple now formed the reports accuracy.

According to The Telegraph, the couple will not live in a royal residence. Their status will be unchanged, and they will remain non-working-royals as agreed upon with Queen Elizabeth when they left in March, 2020.

Harry married Meghan Markle in a dazzling ceremony at Windsor Earth in 2018, and it was hoped his union with the former actor, whose mother is Black, would interrogate the historic institution.

But it was not long before cracks in their relationship with the rest of the Royal Family began to emerge. Two years later in March, 2020, they announced they would stop down from off-

stal duties and move to the U.S. They moved to the wealthy seaside enclave of Montcalm near Santa Barbara, Calif., with media reports putting the 2020 purchase price of their 10-bedroom home at 15$19.7 million. In the following years, Harry now 45, and Meghan, 45, reportedly criticized the Royal Family and the monarchy in TV interviews, a Netflix documentary series and most notably in Harry's memoir, Spies.

Harry had some particularly barbed comments for his father, King Charles, and his older brother. Just to the theme Prince William, leading to a total breakdown in their relationship Harry was also angry the British government changed his security arrangements and said the

lack of automatic police protection meant he was unable to bring his children to Britain.

But relations with the King appeared to be thorned in September, and father and son met briefly for the first time in 20 months.

Last month, Harry, Meghan and their children visited Britain, and Charles saw his grandchildren for the first time since 2002. However, the King, while welcoming the chance to see more of the Sunseas, himself only became aware of the couple's plans to return to Britain on Sunday.

While Harry and the King's relationship might have improved, he is still barely on speaking terms with his brother.

SCIENTISTS DETECT FASTEST-KNOWN STAR IN THE MILKY WAY

WASHINGTON Scientists have detected the fastest-known star, a stellar-spookier that is zooming around the supermassive black hole reading at the centre of our galaxy and might hold the key to measuring the spin of this celestial heart for the first time.

The star, around 20 per cent more massive and five times. Neither than one star, travels at speeds up to about 100 million kilometres an hour as it orbits the Milky Way's central black

hole - named Sagittarius A, or Sgr A. That is more than 8 per cent the speed of light. No other star in our galaxy or elsewhere has ever been clocked at that speed.

The star, named Spro, is travelling in a highly elliptical path around Sgr A*, taking about 8.7 years to complete an orbit. Its closest approach to the black hole is about 100 times Earth's orbital distance from the sun, a metric called an astronomical

unit. That means the star's nearest pass is somewhat more than the planet Saturn's orbital distance from the sun. But at its farthest, Spro is about 1,000 astronomical units from Sgr A*.

Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity in strong that not even light can escape. Sgr A* possesses about four million times the sun's mass and is located about 20,000 light-years from Earth. BELTISES

Sudanese professor finds new life in Ottawa

Al researcher makes perilous journey across three countries to land at Carleton University

WADE WOOLF SITTANA

Artificial intelligence researcher Abner Ibrahim wouldly recalls the day she read the e-mail that changed her life.

The Sudanese academic was475 pages in Somalia when she received a message from Carleton University professor Thomas Kane asking her to join a team researching cybersecurity and machine learning.

The e-mail set her and her family on a path to a new life in Canada, after a perilous flight from Sudan during a civil war that has displaced millions.

In her new university office in Ottawa, Ms. Ibrahim, now a visiting professor in Carleton's computer engineering department, says that back in 2019, she would never have expected to find a safe haven in Canada.

But a global organization helping scholars the war event, a charity helping skilled refugees find jobs in Canada and a group of determined Carleton University managers spent years helping the academic.

The civil war in Sudan began in April, 2019, as a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RAF.

It has since uprooted millions of people in what the World Health Organization has dubbed the world's worst humanitarian disaster. An estimated 1 million people have been displaced by the fighting, with around nine million forced to leave their homes and a further four million sucking refuge in neighbouring countries.

The conflict made continuing at the Academy of Engineering and Medical Sciences in Khartoum, where Ms. Ibrahim taught and carried out research, all but impossible. Causes shut down, interest and phone coverage was unreliable and food shortages and violence in the city drove people to flee their homes.

The situation became more perilous for Ms. Ibrahim, head of the private university's department of communication and computer engineering, after intellectual and doctors began to disappear. Among them was Ms. Ibrahim's cousin, a doctor who was kidnapped and forced to give

medical help to RAF forces, and let go after a year.

In March, 2019, she embarked with her three children on a harrowing her ride across the country from Khartoum to Port Sudan. The family had three bags between them, containing clothes, food, her academic diplomas and a single photograph of her late mother. Her husband labor was working as a postdoctoral researcher at a university in Malaysia at the time, and joined the family in Somalia later.

The trip usually takes about 10 hours, but closed roads and multiple checkpoints meant the driver had to take small roads and a longer route than the usual two-kilometer journey. It ended up taking five days.

Along with other passengers, Ms. Ibrahim and her children were pulled off the bus repeatedly at checkpoints set up by the RAF and Sudanese army in areas they each controlled.

The family, referred to one meal a day, slept in their own and in bus stations. Ms. Ibrahim says her children were scared of the armed men who had gone along over their shoulders at checkpoints. At some, the men sat in pickup trucks with large machine guns mounted on the back.

Ms. Ibrahim had decided to travel light and bring little cash, as she says it subscribing stolen during searches. She did not want to alert those at checkpoints that her family were in the process of fleeing the

country, so had the families' passports in the bottom of one of her children's bags, along with her academic certificates.

Ms. Ibrahim grew up in El Gabor, the capital of South Africa, whose population has been targeted by the RAF paramilitaries. She says those moving between territories controlled by the rival factions fell under suspicion of being spies. Some passengers were pulled off buses or taken away and others were abused and beaten, she says.

'We are passing to checkpoints in just three kilometers,' she says. 'They are searching a lot. Before you get on the bus, during the bus you had to get on and off.'

After they finally arrived at Port Sudan, the country's steam port on the Red Sea, the family found a flight to Ottawa, then on to Ethiopia and from there to Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. There, they waited for two years while Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada processed their applications for permanent residence so she could embark on her research in Ottawa.

Dana Wagner, co-founder of TalentLab Canada, a non-profit recruitment company that matches displaced people with employers, was working assiduously to help Ms. Ibrahim and her husband navigate immigration troubles, which include biometric tests, to gain permanent residence. Ms. Ibrahim was among the refugees who was able to apply through the

new-passed federal Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot program that matched qualified refugees with job vacancies.

In March, 2019, a global organization that funds and supports displaced scholars had awarded Ms. Ibrahim a fellowship to continue her studies abroad. The Institute of International Education's Scholar Kescar Fund contacted Carleton University to see if it could find a temporary post for her so she could continue her research.

El president and chief executive Jason Gey described Ms. Ibrahim as 'an accomplished academic in the field of window communication and network engineering'.

'She, like so many of her Sudanese colleagues, has demonstrated remarkable courage and perseverance in the face of war and displacement,' he said in a statement.

Ms. Ibrahim says she had applied to several儀仗net ideas, including inflation, in the hopes of continuing her academic career somewhere safe. In she waited for news, the e-mail she received from Port Kano accepting her application to join his research team at Carleton charged the course of her life, she says.

Port Kano says Ms. Ibrahim's academic background just happened to fit in well with the research project he had embarked on, looking into ways to train software agents to defend a network.

'There's a number of different approaches to doing this. And in the interactions that I had with Alene, her idea was to use game theory, which is not of a new approach I hadn't thought about.

Port Kano says although her two-year visiting professorship is not 'a long-term solution' to secure an academic career in Canada, it will help her establish herself here and build on her teaching experience.

Ms. Ibrahim says she and her husband, who has also started as an instructor in Carleton's department of electronic engineering, have been overwhelmed by the kindness and hospitality of Canadians.

At one dinner hosted by a university manager, her children tailed salmon for the first time. They are now eagerly anticipating playing hockey on an outdoor trail.

However, her youngest do not petrodian that sub-zero temperatures are a seasonal feature in Ottawa. 'They are waiting for these. They are waiting every day,' she says. 'My youngest one asks, 'When will the winter come?' They are saying, 'Why are we not seeing the ice yet?''

Trump's talk doesn't sound quite like Carney's

A trade victory may mean something different for both sides

CAMPBELL CLARK

EDMOND

We have a DEALY U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social less than two have before midnight Tuesday Net-quote, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose statement suggested there was more left to do.

It's now becoming clear that it's a tentative deal being finalized. It was close enough Tuesday night that the U.S. President postponed for three days his threat to the peacekeeping new tariffs. And declared victory.

The kind of victory for and his administration declared won't really what Canadian might expect. The Trump's nuclear power became Mr. Trump leaned that the specified Keystone XL pipeline "may be awoken from the grow" and followed up with an Al-mag of himself topping up a length of pipe heads a system of nuclear power.

What Mr. Trump and U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer talked about in their first time point about the deal were not "economic security commitments" and "digital trade alignment".

What Canadian have been

talking about - from the comments made by pressure and stakeholders and the incomplete information it taking out from the talks - has resolved around lowering the tariffs Mr. Trump has already imposed, notably on steel and autos. And about what Mr. Carney's government might offer in return, including dropping its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. and rejecting provinces to end their form of U.S. house and changing the way it administers an existing U.S. dairy quota.

The difference between those two worlds seems pretty large.

One is about making an agreement to manage the effects of Mr. Trump's aggressive tariff policy on key sectors. The other seems to be about making broad new commitments to provide the U.S. expanded guaranteed future accounts Canadian markets and revenues.

The details are scarce, so it's

possible that the differences are more about message than denying. In Canada, politicians might talk about effective tariff rates on autos, but Mr. Trump talks about making deals, and oil, and even.

Mr. Carney only testated for much less Wednesday afternoon. There were indications that the headline rates of U.S. tariffs would be reduced, but there was missing information on what is and is not covered by those rates, making it hard to calculate the level of relief.

Canada gave ground on the three key U.S. demands. Mr. Carney asked premiers to put U.S. bonds back on shelves. Mr. Trump said all Canadian tariffs would be dropped. The President also said U.S. farmers will be happy, which suggested that Canada's U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc's insistence that the supply management system of dairy remains intact might not be the whole story.

Two of these three key constraints were dropping retaliatory measures, and one of them amounts to economic terms, so it's worth reading if they buy enough relief on U.S. tariffs - although any trends in supply management for dairy will still engender political threshold, in Quebec.

But premiers also said provincial procurement policies that include the U.S. will be curbed by the deal and it's not clear what that means for Mr. Carney's re-empted loan to Canadian policies.

Then there are those other things the U.S. wanted, some of which amounted to lasting guar-

anties of Canadian economic co-operation. They would be Canada's economy more closely to the U.S. and if there is one thing Mr. Trump has taught us in this section, it's that we can't expect any reliable and reasonable return.

It's no big concession if Mr. Trump wants to revive the Keystone XL pipeline - the Canadian side is already approved and substantially built and its completion would become Canada's economy. But we are not seeing that Mr. Trump's Al-mag said the Keystone pipeline is "complaining" - whatever that means.

It's the U.S. desire for new, broad, long-term claims that should be relentless. The Globe and Mail has reported that the U.S. asked Canada to commit to maintaining or increasing its supply of oil, and to the U.S. to have a right of free virtual for Canadian critical minerals. Aligning with the U.S. on digital trade tends to mean accepting U.S. terms.

It's one thing to put vague language about such things in a statement to satisfy Mr. Trump's variety - he has collected non-binding investment promises from many countries. It's quite another for a prime minister to commit to real guarantees, especially a PM who has repeatedly, and rightly, unusual them that hears a "rupture" in the relationship with the U.S.

It's not surprising that Mr. Carney's government hasn't revealed every offer and counteroffer. But even with a deal almost down, it's still not very clear how much is on the table.

Trade: President says the U.S. will offer some relief to Canadian exporters

© PRISM AI

Mr. LeBlanc met with his U.S. counterpart Jameson Greer, in Washington - and in Canada's morning before returning to Ottawa, Canada's top negotiable James Chantley remained in Washington on Wednesday. The deadline for Mr. Trump's threatened to put sent tariffs has been pushed to undue after Friday.

Ottawa has refused to re-detalle about the tentative deal or others sectored tariffs will ultimately land.

Mr. Trump suggested to exporters in Washington on Wednesday that the administration would offer some relief to Canadian exporters. "They were paying a high number. We're reducing it a little bit," he said.

At a later event, Mr. Trump added that "we may bring some of the tariffs down to a level where other countries are, because Canada was paying a higher tariff."

A source briefed on the talks said the U.S. has agreed to reduce its tariffs on Canadian steel from to put sent to to put sent. However, the source could not share the specifics, including whether the to-put-sent sets was the tariff for all steel exports or only for exports above a certain quota.

Negotiations about auto tariffs are continuing, according to two industry sources. The Globe and Mail has previously reported that the U.S. has proposed lowering the tariff on vehicles to in-put-sent from to put sent, but the two state have been bagging over whether Canadian contract or similar should be exempt from the tariffs, as is currently the case for U.S. contract.

Auto discussions are complicated by the fact that the U.S. is able to deal with the Western about auto tariffs and is trying to manipulate a deal between the three countries.

One source with knowledge of the negotiations said that Canadian officials are in touch with their Western counterparts.

The Globe is not identifying the sources who were not authorized to decline the details of the talks.

The Tuesday evening following is meeting with Mr. Greer in Washington, Division Economic Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed that "we presented something similar" to Canada's demand that the value of all North American contract be excluded from U.S. tariffs.

Both Ottawa and Washington looked to cast the negotiations in a positive light on Wednesday. The same day the countries had arrived at a "very fair deal for both sides." Mr. Carney posted a message on social media congratulating Mr. LeBlanc and Mr. Greer on what he called "significant progress" in trade talks.

The message from the commenters was somewhat more muted. Mr. Houston said he was "pretty content" with what he'd

heard from the federal government about the shape of the potential deal, but acknowledged that Canada was negotiating under constraints.

"I do think that what the negotiating team was able to accomplish is pretty good under the circumstances and the best possible deal for our country," he said.

Mr. Mac said that what constitutes "the best deal" is "relatively suggested the terms would not be as good as what Canada had before Mr. Trump returned to office."

"We also need to understand that the status quo that we had for every up was not possible it was not we," he said.

Mr. Carney has long said that no deal is better than a bad deal, and Ottawa had refused to preemptively address a number of U.S. trade entrants, reviewing to maintain leverage for future trade talks. But Mr. Trump's threat of new tariffs last month appears to have changed Ottawa's calculus about how much it could hold out for an optimum deal.

One person familiar with the talks said the Carney government is hoping the deal will provide certainty for businesses and allow the country to move on from the trade war to focus on other things.

All provinces and territories except Alberta and Saskatchewan have maintained basis on the side of U.S. liquor and a number of proposed procurement restrictions in retaliation for Mr. Trump's tariffs last year.

Mr. Ford of Ontario and Mr.

Ely of British Columbia have been the most elaborate in recent months that they won't restore alcohol to the shelves without significant tariff relief.

Mr. Ely did not say on Wednesday whether he would agree to exclude Ely's but on American bonds less, but after Mr. Carney's briefing he issued a statement saying his province is confident that Ottawa has made "substantial progress across strategic sectors."

Mr. Ford's office did not answer questions on the Wednesday about whether Ontario would rework U.S. house.

Albert J. Fromier - Danielle North issued a statement saying the Prime Minister has asked the provinces to "proactively put U.S. liquor back on shelves." The statement noted Alberta has already taken that step and thanked Mr. Carney for providing premises with the update Wednesday, a spokesperson for Manitoba did not respond to a request for comment.

On Wednesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Frohovic said that the U.S. would not have given Prime Minister has set for ordering a better deal, at should cost with no tariffs on any of the sectors currently subject to the American favor.

With Ottawa largely mum about the details of the previous agreement, most of the public commentary about the deal has come from the U.S. side.

In his initial considerable post on Tuesday, the U.S. has mentioned the possibility of reviving the Keystone XL pipeline proposal, while Mr. Greer said on social

media that the deal includes "market access for all American goods, economic security commitments [and] digital trade alignment".

Mr. Trump said Wednesday that Ottawa had agreed to remove tariffs on U.S. farm products and possibly other goods, but he did not provide details.

"The tariffs will be non-existent for our farmers," he said. Canada, he said, "called yesterday and gave us the points that we had to have."

One U.S. demand in the talks was that Canada accept Washington's interpretation of how it senses in Canada's dairy supply management system must be, if located. This could result in US dairy farmers having more access to the protected market. But it would not abolish Canada's on-the-course oil quotas and tariffs on dairy.

The White House declined to specify what had been agreed to in the deal.

Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette said the pause in new tariffs leaves uncertainty in place. "I think that the U.S. has been businesses want to stabilize, predictability and confidence," she wrote in French in a statement on social media Wednesday.

"Protecting our economic policies, our supply management system and our culture is non-negotiable," She added that the negotiations must avoid a tariff escalation "without crossing the real lines Quebec has established."

RCMP warn two Sikh activists of safety concerns regarding work for independent state

Police say there are credible, serious and imminent threats against their lives

CHUCK CHANG

RCMP have issued 'duty to warn' letters to at least two Canadian Sikh activists, telling them their lives are under threat for their involvement in trying to create an independent Sikh state in India.

Police have issued the notices to Inderjeet Singh Gowal of Caledon, Ont., and Harderjeh Singh from Abbotsfield, B.C., telling them there are credible, serious and imminent threats against their lives, although they couldn't provide more details.

The documents, obtained by The Canadian Press, say that while there's no threat against their family or friends, those people could be hurt during any attempt on their lives.

'You may be putting yourself at risk if you spend time in any residence, vehicle or location be-grounded by those who engage in a criminal lifestyle.'

Mr Gowal is the Canadian coordinator of non-binding referendums being held in Sikh communities around the world, asking if they want an independent Sikh state - known as Khalistan - within India.

Mr Gowal said in an interview from Caledon on Tuesday that the movement is peaceful and does not condone violence, adding that the threats will not change plans for the next referendum to be held in Edmonton in October.

'For me to stop doing what I'm doing, which is impossible, the threats are going to come,' Mr Gowal said.

People protest in support of Khalistan outside of the Towen-Mande Mode temple in Brampton, Ont., in April 2025 to accept the Canadian Press

'I know what I signed up for,' he said. 'It wouldn't abide by what I stand for, and running and hiding is not what I do.'

The form letter from police to both men asked them to check yes or no, indicating if they understand the circumstances.

'If you do not want police assistance, we suggest you take appropriate and legal precautions for yourself, family and friends.'

The previous Canadian organizer, Harderjeh Singh Nijjar, was granted down in Surrey, B.C., in June, 2019, as a killing that has been linked to India-based organized crime groups.

In July, the U.S. State Justice Department announced the arrest of 24 suspects around the world linked to offenses by India-based crime groups, including Mr Nijjar's assassination outside the Sikh guardians he led before his death.

Gangster Lawrence Holmes, who, as prison in India, has been charged with ordering Mr Nijjar's killing.

Sikh activists have accused the

government of India to be behind Mr Nijjar's death, an accusation that India has repeatedly denied.

The group organizing the Canadian referendums, Sikh's for Justice, said a third organizer in B.C. received a verbal warning from Canadian police.

The RCMP did not confirm any of the warnings.

Mr Gowal said he has received several of the warnings since becoming the lead organizer, and police have repeatedly offered witness protection to keep him safe.

He says he has turned down all of those offers, although he wrote in on the 'duty to warn' letter to police that he would like to know more about the threats. 'I will continue to do exactly what Harderjeh Singh Nijjar did,' he said Tuesday.

'And if the bullet is the ending for me, I'm glad to take that bullet that nothing will stop me from this campaign.'

Halifax man faces new charge after alleged bomb threat against U.S. consulate

MICHAEL MACDONALD HALIFAX

A terrorism-related charge has been laid against a man already facing two lesser offenses for allegedly making a bomb threat against the U.S. Consulate in Halifax, which shut down a large section of the city's downtown.

A federal prosecutor told Halifax provincial court Wednesday that the RCMP had charged a 24-year-old Ali Anadarsh under a section of the federal Criminal Code that deals with threats against internationally protected people, which includes diplomats.

Federal lawyer Lee Ann Conrad said that section also refers to another section of the code that applies to those accused of committing a violent attack on an official premises, endangering the life of a protected person. That offence carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.

Mr Anadarsh, a Halifax resident, was initially charged on Aug. 6 with stirring threats and public mischief after Halifax Regional Police also accused him of placing a propane tank and automobile liquids in the air before parking it near the consulate on the city's waterfront.

The original charges each carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Mr Anadarsh, a holding man with a scruffy, grey beard, appeared in the courtroom wearing a grey sweatshirt and grey sweatpants. He listened to the proceedings with the help of an interpreter who spoke faint, the language mainly spoken in Iran.

Wednesday marked the fourth time Mr Anadarsh's half hearing was adjourned with little discussion about bail, aside from Mr. Conrad saying the Crown was opposed to releasing the accused.

It was also the fourth time Mr Anadarsh consented to re-training in custody, Legal and Lawyer Bernie Thibault told the court he needed more time to draft a bail plan. Judge Ann Marie Simmons agreed to schedule another bail hearing for Aug. 10. Police have confirmed they learned about the bomb threat on Aug. 6, and found the suspect's vehicle parked near the consulate the next morning at 8:00 a.m. Mr Anadarsh was arrested 25 minutes later in the city's west end, not far from his Halifax home. By 9 p.m., an explosion expert determined the propane and liquid in Mr Anadarsh's car paved no threat to public safety and all evacuation orders were lifted.

The alleged bomb threat came less than a week after two suspects were charged with shooting at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto in July - the second such incident at the building this year. A 24-year-old man and a 24-year-old boy are facing more than a dozen charges.

The consulate in Toronto was previously targeted on March 15, when two suspects allegedly fired multiple shots at the building, for 20-year-old and a 24-year-old are facing multiple charges.

Canada's affordability crisis and who it leaves behind

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Pathways to Education

FREE VIRTUAL EVENT

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2026 | 12:00 P.M. - 1:00 P.M. ET

Canada's affordability crisis, driven by rising housing, food, transportation and education costs, is reshaping access to opportunity. Its impact is increasingly visible among high school students in low-income communities, where financial strain limits access to academic supports, mentorship and basic learning resources. As more students take on work to support their families, their ability to fully engage in school is diminished. Without reliable support systems in place, graduating and planning for post-secondary education or careers becomes less certain, widening existing gaps and challenging the promise of upward mobility.

Join The Globe and Mail for an event on how Canada's affordability crisis is reshaping opportunity and who it is leaving behind. Experts will explore what's changed, how rising costs are widening inequality and consider the role of institutions and leaders in building more equitable pathways to future success.

Can Ukraine vote while at war?

The last time the country held elections was 2009; the share been banned under martial law since Russia's invasion in 2022

KISS

The bold wartime elections as demanded by the country's audited Release Minister Mykhadev Fedorov, Ukraine would first have to overcome a lot of obstacles.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he was prepared to hold elections if the United States and Kyiv's European allies could ensure the security of the vote. U.S. President Donald Trump has previously argued that elections should be held.

Ukraine, which has held elections in 2024, has been under martial law since February, 2023, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Martial law bans elections for security reasons.

Fighting is saying along more than 1,200 kilometres in Ukraine's east, south and north. Hundreds of Russian donors and minsters regularly pound Ukrainian cities and towns far from the front line. Electronic supplies are disrupted by Russian attacks on the power sector and other energy interventions.

Polls have consistently shown that a majority of Ukrainians oppose the idea of elections during the war.

Volodymyr Fesenko, a political analyst, said as an example at the very least was a vital first step to start considering a vote. He said Ukraine would monitor on earth the legislative framework for the elections from scratch, including a new law to spell out timing, rules and procedures. Mr. Fesenko estimated that about six months would be required to do that. Kyiv will also need to pre-empt any possible manipulation attempts by Russia, analysis said.

Russia has said Mr. Zelensky is illegitimate because his term ran out in May, 2024, and so cannot sign peace deals on Ukraine's behalf. Mr. Trump criticized the lack of elections in an interview with Politico in December, saying it was time for a vote.

Millions of Ukrainians would face difficulties accessing polling stations.

Updating the State Register of Voters to record who can vote and where would be challenging, analysis and officials said.

Data show that more than 1,200 million Ukrainians had temporary protection status in the European Union as of end June, requiring Ukraine to organize hundreds of polling stations across Europe.

Nearly four million Ukrainians are internally displaced within the country, the US migration agency said last month. Analysis said organizing all displaced people would not be straightforward and would divert time and hands from defence.

About one million people serve in Ukraine's defence forces, belonging a few and fair vote on a drone-infected front line would be dangerous and may require legislative changes.

Ukrainian officials estimated that as of 2024, 1.1 million adult Ukrainians remained behind those front lines in Russian-occupied territories. Russia controls about to pre-empt the Ukrainian territory and plans to hold its own elections their next month, which Ukraine has said would be illegal.

Mr. Zelensky would have a strong chance at re-election, according to polls. Mr. Zelensky's popularity in Ukraine was at about 30 per cent early in the war, but it has

since declined to around 60 per cent, depending on the poll.

Political analysts and pollsters said Mr. Zelensky's approval rating were damaged by a state-run reception scandal in the energy sector last year, but have since recovered and Mr. Zelensky remains a down-runner out of all traditional politicians.

Polls show that Valere Zabashnyi, Ukraine's ambassador to Britain and formerly the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, would be a leading challenger to Mr. Zelensky, as would presidential chief of staff and the former local of military intelligence, Kyrko-Badanov.

However, Mr. Fedorov, a 30-year-old tech-savvy volunteer, has also risen in recent polls since his abrupt dismissal last month by Mr. Zelensky after just six months as defence minister, which sparked a rate over of wartime street protests. Ukraine's 747 media cited a prominent local pollster, VOOL, predicting Mr. Fedorov winning around 10 per cent of the vote with Mr. Zabashnyi on 10 per cent and Mr. Zelensky at 25 per cent. With Fedorov or Mr. Zabashnyi were to reach a second-round runoff, polls have shown either could beat Mr. Zelensky.

Zelensky: Lawmakers approve Ukrainian President's picks for defence, foreign affairs ministers amid election speculation

© PRESS AI

Mr. Zelensky is already under pressure over his firing last month of defence minister Mykhadev Fedorov, one of the longest standing members of his team and a close ally since helping him win the 2024 presidential election.

Mr. Zelensky, ranking to reconcile tensions between the Defence Ministry's young and tech-savvy innovators and Ukraine's economic beware-biased battlefield, has been a hard hit with rules by re-shuffling his wartime leadership. He out-affords Mr. Fedorov, whose changes to end June prove more attractive to him than to his own. He has sought, neither even.

The youthful street protests supporting Mr. Fedorov in Mr. Zelensky, it was the second time in a year that a more triggered a strong public business, after he tried to curb the powers of anti-comruption agencies as seen.

Mr. Fedorov is an address posted by YouTube late Tuesday, called for election-appearing to directly continue Mr. Zelensky, whose term expired in 2024. Ukraine's presidential poll after such a vote under martial law.

"We must find a legal, safe and realistic solution," he is that will allow Ukraine to re-shoot a fullly-invoiced, process-overs amid a prolonged war," Mr. Fedorov said.

He said Ukraine faces a crisis in how it is

groomed, arguing the current system is oriented toward protecting itself and re-sining change. He also condemned corruption among officials without naming anyone, saying it had weakened Ukraine's ability to fight.

Mr. Zelensky's office did not immediately comment on Mr. Fedorov's address. It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Fedorov's appeal would resonate with Ukrainians.

Also on Wednesday, lawmakers approved Mr. Zelensky's candidate, Major General Yvcheniy Khitava, as the new 'In-News Minister, a move that effectively takes on the door to Mr. Fedorov's return to the post, which he has sought, another, even.

Lawmakers also gave their consent for media fights to stay on an foreign affairs minister after serving in an interim vote.

The political disarray follows recent successes for Ukraine in the war. Using innovative direct technology, it has repeatedly hit Russian attackers, causing hard downages. U.S. also stocked the Russian public by striking warehouses of Wildberries, the country's biggest online retailer, and stalled front-line advances by Moscow's bigger army.

But Mr. Zelensky has been unable to get reaction as U.S. had peace efforts, and the government's power of the U.S. has been miscible because more U.S. made Patriot stereotypes and's available owing to low international stockpiles.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has bailed at negotiating a peace deal directly with Mr. Zelensky.

In its latest attack, a Ukrainian drone hit an oil refinery in Uta in Russia's Republic of Bashkortostan, in Governor Nayky Khobrov was quoted as saying by Russian irate news agency this lawsuit. There are three oil refineries in Uta and all have been attacked.

The Russian Defence Ministry said it is at defence's overnight harrowing any Ukrainian defence over multiple regions, as well as Russian-held Crimea and the Black Sea.

It said Russian forces on Tuesday for a lode carrier in the Black Sea, southward of Orkno, that was carrying military equipment. On Wednesday, the Russian military struck what it said were lost and taken out storage tanks for the Ukrainian armed forces in the port of Chernomorod.

A Russian drone struck a member in Kherson in southern Ukraine on Wednesday, killing four people, said Oleksandr Prochestov, a 2024-2025 regional military administration, adding that four women were wounded. Another Russian drone struck a civilian car in the regional capital, killing a woman, he said.

Amid the fighting, Russia and Ukraine swapped to pressures of war, according to the Kennedy and the Russian Defence Ministry.

Australian mushroom murderer appeals convictions

KISS McGUIRE

MR. JACQUES, AUSTRALIA

Triple murderer Erin Patterson appealed. "I am convictions Wednesday for the murderer of her estranged husband's relatives with death cap mushrooms."

Three judges of the Victoria state Court of Appeal are hearing her appeal for her days against her convictions on three counts of murder and not of attempted murder relating to a bunch of brief challenges pastes she prepared at her retail home in Leningrad's trial, 2023.

Prosecution was appearing the leniency of her sentence. The issue old was sentenced to September last year to 80 in prison and must serve at least 10 years behind her. The case is legally for release on parole. Prosecution will argue at the hearing Thursday she should be sentenced for life without possibility of parole, prosecuted Brendan Kinsane said.

Defence carrier Richard Edney, the 2024-2025 appeal Wednesday was an error that resulted in any members being acquainted in the same bond as a police witness and members of the prosecution case.

"This was a very serious breach of request," Mr. Edney said the court.

Mr. Kinsane said there was no evidence to support that ground.

"There was no actual contact between any one and any other person," Mr. Kinsane said.

Another defense lawyer, Veronika Brage, said there was no evidence that Mr. Patterson had used online posts that reported death cap mushrooms had been seen near the towns of Loch and Chehtim.

"The trial found evidence from a telecommunications expert that Mr. Patterson's phone consented to tower near Chehtim and Loch.

Ms. Brage said the evidence was that Mr. Patterson's phone had possibly been in the area.

"That is and of itself, in our submission, illustrates just how dangerous and unfair that evidence was" on Mr. Patterson's trial, Ms. Brage said.

Prosecution former McWilliams said the evidence showed that Mr. Patterson had an opportunity to deliberately source death cap mushrooms shortly before the lunch. Another ground for appeal was that Prosecution Naterite Regret cross-continuation of Mr. Patterson over five days had been "unfair and expensive."

The defence committee argued that trial judge Christopher Bale had caused "unfair prejudice" by allowing evidence from Mr. Patterson's Facebook "trender" into the trial. Mr. Patterson's estranged husband, Simon Patterson, was invited to the total lunch but did not attend.

His parents, Ives and Gail Patterson, and Gail's sister, Heather Williamson, died. Heather's husband, Ian Williamson, spent weeks in hospital, but survived.

Mr. Patterson argued during her trial that the poisoning was an accident.

Ms. Brage argued a miscarriage of justice accepted when the prosecution opened their conspiring there was no evidence of a motive for the poisoning, then closed the case suggesting Patterson's ammount toward her husband's parents and the broader Patterson family was the motive.

Questionnaire was of the three judges, Justice Jersey Taylor. Ms. Brage said she was not accusing prosecution of deliberate professional intervention.

"It is unbelievable to direct allegation or suggestion of that, but what is clear is our submission from the reading of all of the main text in the where things started and the other hand. It is not a matter of the prosecution case were different," Ms. Brage said.

If Mr. Patterson's appeal succeeds, the judges could overturn her convictions and order a retrial. Mr. Patterson did not attend court for the trial, and she was called the hearing by video in prison.

In printed testimony only made public after her trial, Mr. Patterson said he suspected he won't had any other case, but he was not able to see the hearing by video in prison.

Israel opens criminal probes into killings in Gaza

Deaths of five-year-old and her family in 2024 and killings of 15 medics in 2025 elicited international outcry

JULIA FRANKEL SANY WAGIP JERUSALEM

Israel's military on Wednesday announced its first criminal investigation into troop conduct in Gaza, focusing on the killings of five-year-old Hind Rajab and her family and of 15 Palestinian paramedics.

The military said it would not probe these other attacks that killed aid workers from World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders. It said it had completed reviews of 150 incidents of troop conduct in Gaza and made decisions on the five cases.

Chef José Andrés, founder of U.S.-based World Central Kitchen, confirmed the decisions on X as 'wrong and painful.'

The investigation involves killings that drew a heavy international outcry. Hind was trapped in a vehicle with her slam relatives, pleading for help by phone before she too was killed in February, 2024, after the shooting of the 15 medics in March, 2025, troops then bulldozed their bodies into a mass grave.

Israel's campaign in Gaza has killed more than 15,000 people, including tens of thousands of women and children, according to the territory's Health Ministry. Rights groups and UN commissions have said the campaign amounts to growcode and that Israel's forces have committed a litany of war crimes, including indiscriminate use of force and deliberate killings of civilians.

Israel denies accusations of growcode and war crimes and says it is targeting Hamas after its October, 2025, attack on southern Israel: 8 Mamas civilian deaths on Hamas because the militant group operates in populated

areas in the tiny, overcrowded strip.

Israeli officials contend its justice system can address any violations by its troops, but rights groups say soldiers are hardly ever held accountable.

Wednesday's statement did not mention many other high-profile killings that Israel has pledged to investigate, such as its strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza that killed five paramedics in August, 2025, including Mariam Dugga, a visual journalist who frecknized for the Associated Press and other news organizations.

Hind's grandmother, also named Hind Rajab, told the A7 by shows that the Israeli investigation into her killings is not enough.

'An international investigation is required to uncover the truth and hold all those responsible accountable,' she said. 'We call for justice, not only for Hind, but for all Gaza children.'

The military in Wednesday's statement admitted to firing at the car carrying the five-year-old, four of her cousins and her aunt and uncle as they fled an Israeli invasion of Gaza City.

As gunfire sprayed around them, the girl's cousin, 35-year-old Layan Hamada, called the Palestinian Red Crescent paramedic centre, telling them her family had

been killed. Seconds later, more gunshots were heard, and Layan's screaming stopped, according to the Red Crescent recording of the call.

Palestinian paramedics dispatched an ambulance to rescue Hind and started on the line with her until contact was lost. Hind, her five relatives and two medics from the ambulance were found dead 12 days later.

The military admitted Wednesday that troops had fired toward that ambulance, killing the two medics.

Dyah Abou Jahjah, director of the Belgian-based Hind Rajab foundation, told Al-Jazeera he considered the military investigation a 'charade meant to whitewash the culprits instead of converting them.'

The Palestinian Red Crescent also insists on an international investigation, said Raud al-Nimra, a spokesperson for the organization in Gaza. 'Israel's massacre and not enough,' he told the A7.

A movie docudrama about Hind's death, The Voice of Hind Rajab, won international awards and was nominated for an Oscar.

In the paramedics' killing, Israel's troops fired on an ambulance driving to retrieve casualties from an Israeli offensive in the southern city of Ralab, then fired

on other emergency vehicles that came looking for the first one, according to phone footage and the sole survivor of the shootings. Fifteen medics and emergency responders from the Red Crescent and Gaza's Civil Defense were killed.

'Troops then bulldozed over the bodies and vehicles, burying them in a mass grave. UN and so on workers were only able to reach the site a week later to dig out the bodies.'

The Israeli military initially said it opened fire because the vehicles were 'advancing suspiciously' on troops without headlights or emergency signals. But it had headed after the footage emerged, showing the teams driving slowly with their emergency lights flashing and logos visible. A deputy commander was directed to stop down over the killings.

'We are not obligated to prove the truth because it's already proven to the whole world,' Iid Azizi, a Palestinian Red Crescent spokesperson, told the A7 in a phone call. 'We shouldn't have reached the point if they expected and followed the international humanitarian law.'

The military said it had decided against a criminal investigation into April, 2024, an strikes that hit a cost of World Central Kitchen vehicles, killing seven staffers.

The aid group, which distributes food in Gaza, said at the time it had co-ordinated with the military over the recovery movement. The vehicles, which had the group's logo on their roofs visible over the air, were left incinerated and mangled.

Wednesday's military statement said individuals in the vehicles were mistakenly identified as armed Hamas operatives, but it concluded that the commander's decisions 'did not raise reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct.' At the time, two officers were removed from their position and fifteen others reprimanded.

World Central Kitchen responded in a statement saying the military's account of the strike was

untrue. 'Golf stars differed in timelines and events, muddles the story and shifts the blame.' It called for an independent investigation.

The military also decided not to take criminal action over the killings of four staffers from Doctors Without Borders in two separate instances in November, 2025 and February, 2024.

Military investigation will now take up the probes and present their findings to military prosecutors. The military advocate general can then decide to keep investigating, index any soldiers involved or decline to charge them.

Any action will take a long time, if it comes at all, said Iid Steiner, head of the Israeli rights group RaMoked.

Indictments are very uncommon and convictions even more so, she said, recalling only one soldier who had spent time behind two since Oct. 1, 2025, the alleged abuse of Palestinian prisoners. That soldier was imprisoned for seven months under a June, 2025, plus bargain.

'It's very rare that soldiers accused of harming Palestinians even go to court and even rave that they get a severe punishment,' Ms. Steiner said.

Just 2.25 per cent of all military investigations launched during these Gaza operations from 2024 to 2025 in the prosecution, according to an analysis by Israeli rights group Yash Irie.

The war began on Oct. 1, 2025, when Hamas-led militants killed 1,500 people mostly civilians, in southern Israel and abducted 150 others. Israeli strikes have continued in Gaza since a ceasefire deal came into effect in October, killing at least 1,875 people, according to the Health Ministry.

The ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by UN agencies and independent experts. It does not give a breakdown of civilians and militants but says women and children constitute about half of the dead.

Parts of the Vistula bit record low levels this summer – so much so that two of Poland's coal-fired power plants had to cut output to save water. Jan Piotrowski, the Warsaw mayor's representative for the Vistula, says concerning the river is a personal priority: "The least I can do is enjoy it; protect it and leave it in a better condition for future generations."

Staying calm in midst of trade uncertainty

The three-day reprieve from new American tariffs offers a brief respite from the punishing trade tactics unleashed upon Canada by no southern neighbour.

A deal to scrap the tariffs permanently would bring only floating stability, but Canadians are getting used to managing uncertainty. The best tactic is for Canadians to keep calm and carry on, with the knowledge that they are on solid ground regardless of the outcome of trade talks.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said his negotiating team took a balanced approach, signalling they weren't desperate to sign a deal. While some criticized Mr Carney for vacationing in Italy on the eve of trade talks, the move sent a message that Canada wasn't punishing. President Donald Trump's bullying tactics are designed to create fear, so the best way to counter them is by showing calmness and strength.

On Wednesday, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc confirmed that negotiations for the two countries are working to finalise text for a deal. While the full details aren't known, any concessions are likely to settle the Canadian public, as well as the various important. Further analysis will be needed, as it's true that previous concessions, such as abandoning the digital services tax, haven't resulted in gains for Canada.

However, the reality is that under Mr Trump, there's no going back to the pro-free trade offers that underpinned the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and its predecessors. That era is dead, not just for Canada, but for all of America's leading partners.

Tariffs are more than just a threat for the President, but an ideology, a supposed case all for America's woes. And as long as Mr Trump and his intended interest in leaders are to power, Canada will face higher tariffs than in previous decades.

While the shift undermines prosperity in both countries, Canada isn't in a terrible situation. The existing tariffs have been a blow, particularly for the auto, aluminum and steel sectors, yet the Canadian economy is muddling through.

Even if there is a complete breakdown of the USMCA, a recent Oxford Economics study estimates that Canada would lose just over 90,000 jobs. That would be harmful, but not devastating. Remember that Canada and the U.S. haven't always had tariff-free access, and it's not unimaginable to return to the situation before the Canada-U.S. free trade agreement went into effect in 1989.

For the time being, most goods shipped from Canada into the U.S. remain tariff-free under the provisions of USMCA. This means that Canada is still facing lower tariffs than other countries, says trade expert Lawrence Herman. The pain has been concentrated in sectors hit by tariffs, which are facing reduced sales and job losses. Unfortunately, some of these jobs won't come back.

The Canadian auto industry, for example, has been aiding away for decades. Trump's tariffs have accelerated the pain, but it was unlikely to ever revert to its position at the beginning of the century, when it employed 89,000 people. Total vehicle sales peaked in the U.S. in 2001, and in 2007 in Canada, due to an aging population and rapid urbanization that is leading people to choose transit, risk-hailing and car driving instead of cars.

Others shouldn't pretend that all the pain can be mitigated by subsidies to business. Investments to help the auto sector manage change by boosting the electric vehicle supply chain. For example, have had meager results. A better up-proach is to create a low-tax environment without overly burdensome regulations, rather than piloting winners and losers. The federal government's digital focus on boosting trade and investment deals with other countries will help Canadian companies move into new markets.

Even if a deal with the U.S. is inled, it will provide little long-term certainty given the President's tendency to walk away from his own commitments on a return. Mr Trump's tariffs are flagrant breaches of USMCA, which Mr Trump signed in his first term. This is the new normal, ongoing uncertainty and wild curveballs, peppered with horse trading on narrow issues.

Readers of Douglas Adams' The Middlekirk's Guide to the Galaxy will remember the words 'DON'T FANK' were inscribed on the cover of the business trend guide in large friendly letters. It's good advice for intangible transfers, but also useful guidance for Canadians riding out a nasty trade war.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LONG RUN

Re "The end of USMCA would have a surprisingly small impact on the Canadian economy" (Report on Business, Aug. 18): Thank you for a joint opinion. Even if there were no relief on U.S. tariffs, it's not the end for Canada. Far from it.

Only 15 per cent poorer than otherwise by 2023, says Canadian American Business Council. Such a net reduction would scarcely be noticeable by most citizens a decade forward, those who might notice would be banked by the social safety net of a still wealthy country. Should all judgments to that net be needed, they could well be afforded.

Even without a renewed North American trade deal, Canada would still flourish a decade hence, probably aligned more closely with Europe and Asia (and Mexico) than now which, clearly to me, would not be a bad thing.

DRONE ON

Re "Canada seeks to acquire long-range strike system widely used in Ukraine war" (Report on Business, Aug. 14): The days of Canada as a peacekeeper, with a military prepared for defensive action, seem over. Without U.S. protection and with Donald Trump's multiple threats, a total military assignment is required.

Our military of necessity should rapidly reinvent itself.

Since we can not possibly defend ourselves from an attack by a superior force, we should be creative.

We should ignore the hope and not waste tens of billions of dollars on sophisticated highest job. While glamorous, those jets can be neither against inexpensive, dream and hyper-spread missiles, as we've seen demonstrated in Ukraine and the Middle East. With our limited military budget, we should focus on deterring any loss by threatening them with a counterattack capability.

We should fully endorse this announcement to adopt. Ukraine's innovative, low-cost long-range attack deems capabilities. These target-ending firing bombs are the perfect weapons to deter others from even thinking of attacking it.

TIME TO BUILD

Re "Pipe dream" (Letter, Aug. 14): We may be overutilizing Canada's commitment to global climate change in order to justify the imposition of a damaging auto investment environment. We may be committing economic suicide with a lack of major private investments, projects, employment and government services.

Our focus should be on attracting domestic and foreign investors to create Canadian projects that produce reasonable goods and services to high demand. Let's make good use of the good fortune this country has to be one of the richest natural resources nations in the world.

Let us make fullness of the transitional petroleum industry which produces more of the fewest medium emissions put produced hand of oil in the world.

Re "Business case" (Letter, Aug. 18): 'If a new pipeline was used to good idea, then pipeline companies would be competing for the chance to build it.'

There were multiple companies competing to build pipelines, but all were subject to aggressive regulatory oversight as the Trialsco government put up one road block after another.

HALFRAM THERE

Re "How would Canada change if we granted voting rights to children?" (Report on Business, Aug. 18): While no one is advocating for anyone-wielding soldiers to determine the outcome of elections, the notion of parents acting as proxy voters is intriguing but fraught with difficulties.

Proponents of this indirect enfranchisement of our little ones point to research that assures us parents will "can hallets to advance their child's interests, rather than their own."

This setting aside of our own half-baked, sometimes unmarginous, absurdly political convictions, for the calls of our children, calls for some formidable mental gymnastics, all within the confines of a tiny voting booth. © Kathy McBell (Forrest)

CHINA RISING

Re "Zhu Rongji was mythical - and also a man who did the work" (Aug. 17): To read this account of former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji is both touching and personal.

I grew up in Shanghai post-Cultural Revolution. What was poor and backward then. Although modernization criteria started in 1979, many aspects of daily life were slow to change.

Most key food items were rationed. Long queues at food markets were a lot of life.

When Mr Zhu came to Shang, his in soft to start his tenure as manor, things ahead to change quickly. After a few years, food-affording became a thing of the past. Long queues disappeared and learn food items became plentiful and affordable. No ordinary citizens in Shanghai, there was a true sense of optimism about the future.

Today, when people see the gloaming skyscrapper over a and enjoy the modern hoppings that prosperous, metropolitan Shang has has to offer, many feel a sense of gratitude to Zhu Rongji the man.

OPINION

Access to AC should no longer be a luxury

As summers become better, mitigating dangers to vulnerable populations must be a priority

CARMOLIA KATZ MORGAN STALL

OPINION

Gabrielle Katz is a medical student at the University of Toronto

Nathan Hall is a gentleman and disease counsel at Four might and the University of Toronto

A extreme heat is emerging as one of the deadliest consequences of disease change. The important heat wave in June was linked to 42,000 excess deaths across nine European countries, according to national statistics. Other adults, young children and individuals experiencing homelessness are among the populations most vulnerable

to the harmful health effects of heat exposure.

As heat waves become more frequent and severe around the world, governments and health systems are increasingly grappling with whether investments in cooling technologies such as air conditioning can meaningfully reduce heat-related illness and death. Ontario's recent air conditioning mandates its nursing homes offered to real-world opportunity to answer this question.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and during a following heat wave in July, 2020, concerns were raised about the lack of air conditioning in Ontario nursing homes. At that time, just as per cent of Ontario's nursing homes had air conditioning serving in short-term, and many women were confined to their room(s) owing to pandemic restrictions. In response, Ontario mandated air conditioning in all resident rooms, and by May, 2021, nearly all nursing homes (20 per cent) had standard of

That policy change almost

certainly saved lives. Our study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that there were to 2023, residents of Ontario nursing homes without air conditioning had an increased mean chance of dying on extreme heat days compared with residents of nursing homes with air conditioning. We estimated that Ontario's air conditioning mandate needed 12 resident deaths on extreme heat days between 2020 and 2023.

These findings underscore the need for universal access to air conditioning in nursing homes, but also may have implications for other languages: 2020 earnings, such as reference to temperature and schools. Nursing home residents are especially vulnerable to extreme heat, as they are older and more busy, multiple chronic conditions, limited mobility, cognitive impairment and take medications that impair the body's ability to regulate temperature.

Some municipalities are providing for air conditioning units to low-income and

vulnerable populations to combat extreme heat.

For instance, Portland, Ore. has installed more than 15,000 portable air-conditioning units — the source of existing older adults, people with medical conditions and low-income and underserved households.

Last summer, the City of Toronto launched a pilot program that provided 100 air-conditioning units in 15 of income older adults, and the program is anticipated to provide at least 5,000 units this year.

There are notable regional differences in Canadian air conditioning use, with 70 per cent of Ontario households having air conditioning compared with 45 per cent of households in British Columbia.

The 2020s are equipped areas of the country that have historically not seen extreme heat are now experiencing businesses with deadly results. During first six Columbus's 2020 heat alone, these were two heart-related deaths in a one-week period,

with older adults accounting for 97 per cent of deaths. More than half (30 per cent) of those who died were living alone, and just 7 per cent had air conditioning.

Yet in important to recognize that air conditioning comes with a substantial carbon footprint, accounting for roughly 5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. To combat this, there needs to be a peak for more sustainable and safe construction, including building outside of heat-vulnerable areas, investing in increased tree coverage and using passive cooling technologies. However, these strategies take time to implement, and more are needed to reduce these dusts who require more immediate access to cooling during the summer months.

As we face some of the hottest changes in the 2020s, we have been an exciting technology for those most in need to improve. In our warming world, air conditioning is no longer a luxury. As we have shown in our study, it is an essential and life-saving tool.

Why do we still accept the captivity of wild animals?

PETER LEVITT

OPINION

Director and producer of Lucy The Order, Laos of Elephants

A can animal activist and documentary filmmaker, I often look back and even applause. I would have been so willfully blind!

It took direction my new documentary, Lucy: The Order, Loos of Elephants, on elephant captivity to realize that I too was part of the problem.

I thought into the subtle jingle: Maintained played every summer. Therefore Leroy Marienland: I took my daughters to Maintained, and we all went to a pilot swimming on vacations in Mexico. On June, 2022, Mexico formed all mature mammals and dolphins captivity!

I remember the excitement of being close to these remarkable animals. But I also remember the moments something didn't hold right, swimming in a pool with a dolphin. I realized this remarkable animal had been reduced to performing for my entertainment. Even then, I pushed that discomfort each because I wanted the experience of being close to a dolphin.

Why did no many of us accept that Mexico, elephans and other wild animals could spend their lives confined to our amusement?

But questions has become even more urgent following the recent transfer of whales from Maintained to appearance in the United States and Spain. After months of public outcry, including reports that Marienland's owners had threatened euthanasia. If the whales could not be released - the animals

have instead been sent to other facilities.

Many have celebrated this news.

But should we really be celebrating?

The whales have not been returned to the ocean. They have simply gone from one form of captivity to another. This tragedy never would have happened if we didn't support those facilities to begin with.

How now we notice that keeping cetacanes in captivity is wrong, why do we continue to accept the captivity of other wild animals?

What is the difference between Maintained, now and

safari parks? Why do we continue or to support facilities that keep elephants, lions, giraffes, thines, orangutans, polar boats and countries other wild animals in environment that bear little resemblance to their natural homes?

While making Lucy, I spent years researching the devastating effects captivity has on elephants, one of Earth's most intelligent and notably complex species. I had visited 2003. I had taken my daughters to 2020 and safari parks. Also millions of others, I accepted their narrative of conservation and education without questioning it. I believed all of this too, until I confirmed

my own complicity. How did I not see what we right in front of me?

In the wild elephants never hundreds, sometimes thousands of kilometers each year. They live in complex family groups led by matriarchs, raise their young together and play an essential ecological role by dispersing seeds and maintains my healthy forests. All this is taken from those when they live in 2020, even if they are born in 2020, it has devastating consequences for those wild animals.

Every wild animal evolved to fulfill a role within its ecosystem. Little regular prey populations

Orangutans disperse seeds. Polar boats shape, settle ecosystems, kittens, giraffes, kangaroos and coastline others contribute to the health of the landscapes they inhabit.

There is hopeful news for captive animals in Canada. The female passed Bill 5-12 in 2020, which means that Canada can become the first country in the world to make a phase-out of elephant and great age captivity while at the same time establishing among the world's strongest legal prescribers for captive great age.

Unfortunately, this bill now has to be materialized since Parliament was proposed in 2023, Reynolds' Bill 5-12 (since called the June Goodall Act) will be understood again and passed before the end of 2023.

While making my documentary, I was in Boston. After filming their new Zoo Park, Boston does has closed down their 100 and opened a new facility that teaches children and their families all about wild animals using robotics and 3-D animation.

Over 100,000 adult animals in the 2020s, 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

If we both love these magnificent creatures, our responsibility is not to visit them in cages, tanks or endowars. It is to protect the wild, and allow them to live, while they live.

That is what we owe our children.

That is what we owe our planet.

And above all, that is what we owe the animals themselves.

Canada should honour its promise on first pipeline before building more on our lands

JOE EIGEN

OPINION

120 of the Western Indigenous Pipeline Group

On 1 July, the Canadian and Western governments are measured that they will build a new oil pipeline to the West Coast - one million barrels a day, running largely along the existing Trans Mountain corridor.

This is the same corridor that crosses the rivers, salmon-bearing streams and marine waters of the more than 25 indigenous nations represented by Western Indigenous Pipeline Group. It is the first state-owned new land, and the third pipeline, in that single corridor.

The announcement came wrapped in familiar language: 'A meaningful equity state reserved for Indigenous Peoples,' with contributions to 'begin immediately.'

We have heard that promise before. We are still waiting on it.

In March, 2023, the then-federal minister of finance announced that Indigenous communities would have the opportunity for economic participation in the Trans Mountain Expansion equity ownership, revenue sharing and royalties. In August, 2023, the minister put it in writing, left the Indigenous people that this was would provide access to capital so that no station would have to ride its own money, with the equity held collectively and cash flowing back to our communities. The door to ownership, we were told, was open.

The government's plan to the Group was built to walk through that door. We were formed in 2023 for one purpose - secure Indigenous ownership in Trans Mountain on behalf of the nation along its route for seven years, we have done the technical and financial work to acquire a meaningful interest on commercially reasonable terms. We are ready today.

The government's plan to the Trans Mountain has been sold to Indigenous owners. The concentrations that began with real

momentum have stalled. In recent months, government representatives told us that no decision of a sale would happen until the system is expanded and optimized, a defined channel without us, and now a third pipeline is proposed in the same corridor, again without meaningful consideration.

Before building the equity deal on the existing Trans Mountain pipeline - and even before seriously beginning it - Canada intends to build another one-basis: It The one project will be led by Trans Mountain Corp. the first project to be developed. Some pipeline no have been trying to buy into for seven years. Pembina, a private company has already been directed a defined stake in the new line: 10 per cent through construction, with the option of 10 per cent more once it is operating. A private investor's ownership of a pipeline that does not yet exist is spelled out to the percentage point. Indigenous investors are not the pipeline already operating through our territories, remains an abstraction - 'reserved,' but never

napotated.

The contradiction is not new. Since signing an R&D in November, 2023, Alberta and Ottawa have shown they can move quickly on pipeline proposals when they want to. Yet Canada has spent seven years unable to sell to a share of the already existing pipeline.

The welcome genuine Indigenous ownership in any new pipeline. But Canada cannot modify promise as tomorrow's pipeline while breaking its promise on today's. Reconciliation is not measured in seven schools, and is not as they are born in a manhood in ownership, in shared governance and in shared wealth reaching our communities.

The intense economic participation is one of the most effective tools and government has to earn the foe. Here and informed consent of affected Indigenous communities. Both experiences and the courts confirm the same. Some of the people who are brought into ownership and decision-making, the stronger and more defensible the out-

come. Ownership is not a favour to us. It is how responsible energy development gets done in this country. And it is how this new pipeline will have to earn the consent of the people.

Our message to the Prime Minister is simple: Before a single metre of new pipe is laid in our corridor, slow the deal on the pipeline already there. We know with a prepared, willing and capable Indigenous partner and negotiate a meaningful interest in Trans Mountain, with real governance rights, on commercially reasonable terms. For both the existing and the new and proposed new one, Mark Carney has invited investors from around the world to consider buying into Canadian revenue and other countries. The only new one even engaging with Indigenous people that have been ready to invest in these assets for years. Seven years of waiting is long enough. What is missing is the will in busy one promise before making the same promise again.

An action-movie director triumph

The Globe talks to Jason-François Richet, who has had the rare honour of working with Gerard Rutter and Jason Statham

BARRY HERTZ

WINTER TIME

It is a tumultuous, ever-shifting movie landscape. Years is one constant: the ability for Gerard Rutter and Jason Statham to put butts into seats. And now, the French director Jean-François Richet can come himself as one of the few filmmakers - alongside Ric Bessac-Vinagh and Guy Ritchie - who have been able to work with both actors known.

While Richet put his start with the low budget easy thriller from City, the filmmaker has some lesson able to go back and forth between Hollywood projects (the 2009, 2010, and 2011) and the 2012 film (including his two-percent crime, epic filmstar, chronicling the bit of French gangster Jacques Marone). And after collaborating with Rutter on the paratently excellent way thriller, Rutter has now achieved action-movie director triumph by connecting with Statham on History.

In the new film, Statham plays another in a long line of former law enforcement officials pulled back into violent circumstances, although this time he stopped in the confined spaces of a gigantic cargo ship. filled in the time with human truthfulness. Ahead of the film's release this weekend, Richet talked with The Globe and Mail about the international line-gua franca of action movies.

How comfortable are you going back and forth from French to Hollywood production?

My job is the water, to direct the action, the actor, the camera. But the difference is when I need to explain something a little more philosophical: that's difficult. What's speak with an actor, even in France, I use few words. In France, it can be more intimate, but the job is the same. The thing is when you work with American, and given can't be the make a mistake when you speak. But an American who works in France! You have to know the language.

French film director Jean-François Richet poses for a photo in Paris, in 2018. The director spoke with The Globe and Mail ahead of the release of his new movie, Mating, which stars Jason Statham, (1997/1998) (ACCOMPACTED BY HENRY GLOBE)

Was it always your goal to work in the Hollywood system?

No, I just followed my instincts, and the scripts, and the actors. If someone has a good script to make in Africa, I'll do it there. In China, there it's more about the story. But for sure, the market in the U.S. is huge.

So, what about the scale and resources that come along with such a production as Mattey? Is there an appeal in working with projects that are larger, bigger, sinter? Or is the challenge something that you might?

I will say all movies are a challenge. Even when you think, it's this movie will be easier, it's not sure, there are economic differences. When you make an English-language movie, you can sell it all around the world, so we have more money to make it. In France, we have stars, but not like the U.S. I'll say that the hierarchy is the rat is a little different.

In France, the hierarchy is first, it's the director. Always You can decide everything that you want. A producer cannot cut one frame of your movie if you don't

agree. In the U.S., it's different. I like the system, too, the conversations that you have. But you have to speak with the producer, the star I don't want to fight with anybody. I want to collaborate. It's easy when people are smart and they want to do the best.

In terms of stars who can sell a movie globally, there are two scenes that are reliable. One is Gerard Rutter, the other is Jason Statham. What made you want to collaborate with these guys?

One thing I liked about Jason, I knew that he could do the action perfectly. But he has, too, Jason is the perfect working-class action hero. For me, it's like watching Stallone when he was in Rosie. I'm from the working class - worked in a factory. When someone I know put a hard hat on his head, I know it would be good.

What would you say your approach is to on-screen action?

For Mattie, I always try to have action that's not, let's say, realistic, but credible. In the fights thorough, I always try to have some credibility there. I don't see slow-

motion. I don't like shooting it. But a comeback I don't like having a joke after somebody is hit or seemed. It's not my style.

How deeply is Jason involved in designing that fight discouraging?

He's involved in everything. First, he knows perfectly what he can do, and how he wants to do. Or, I like with He's illness, who wanted to do everything that he could. He wants to drive the car, he wants the camera to pun up and see his face. He doesn't want to look double.

So I prepare my choreography with my team with that in mind. It's like when you write a scene in a script for an actor and you have to do it again and again until we agree. But Jason knows exactly what will work and what won't work. It's over preparing, but are all planners.

So would you like to ideally make a movie with both Jason and Gerard?

That would be the dream. But two stars at the same time, it's just about the budget. We have two equal stars who need equal characters. I am speaking with Gerard

to make another movie. Place a film's writing the script, I think it's very good. When it works, you want to work with someone again. I've made four or five movies with Vincent Gaard. It's not like working with family, but almost.

You've talked before in interviews about financing your best film through gambling at camera. Is it fair to say that you have to have that gambling centrality to work on these types of films? You have to get all your steps on, is so to speak?

Ha, no. First, it was not gambling all in one day. It was three days a week during six months of visits to the castes. I started with very low money, and I doubled it every time. But if I lost, I lost double. So I could only lose three times. I did my first movie with it, but it wasn't a lot. It cost 2-3 years. So I'm not a gambler. I'm more of a craftsman. I just try to make the best movie that I can. Who would play with his life in gambling? Yes, he. I just want to make another movie.

This interview has been edited and re-televised.

What's behind the rise in cigarette iconography in art and design?

SHARMA COHEN

At the opening reception for her recent exhibition at the same art-figure, country's hand-motely neighborhood, artist Roald Phelon handed out cigarettes to guests.

Some resembled the usual off-white sinks with light brown filters, others had showing orange stains on an even-ended of the same, not paper. They were very quickly. Phelon said. The playful keypades echoed a series of decorative ceramic ashtrays displayed alongside the artist's back, colourful painting of flowers and trees, with eyes and ashtrays that mouldy made stained hairs, along with the occasional paint, bracelet or bezel toorn key.

The people my age, cigarettes are more than what Phelon, vs. "We need to say that, dog, full ashtray was a sign of a great party."

Phelon hasn't smoked since her era. And turns out, many who are embracing cigarette iconography have also long since ago: the Riffles, the Tint and the first place. Rather this summer, I spent her on a pack of cigarettes-shaped candles for a friend's cork birthday, mostly because they remind me, for they are not cigarettes. That same week, I found myself covering a set of the European ashtrays at a vintage shop, even though I don't smoke. At a recent house party, I noticed incense rocks focusing on the kitchen to make the car. I went to a book like cigarettes. I later learned they're a rich favourite by New York-based lifestyle brand boy

Artist Roald Phelon's recent exhibition included a display of ceramic ashtrays such as the artist's paintings of flowers and trees.

Vienna.

According to the latest Health Canada data, only about one to six Canadians smokes cigarettes (above from about one in five in two). Yet cigarettes iconography is quietly cropping up across art, home decor, fashion and even food. The new cigarette aesthetic has less to do with smoking than with what represents: stheffins, tinsdown, nostalgia. It's not altogether surprising, given that cigarettes have worked their way back into any culture. Fashion brands Khatti and Jifani handed out branded cigarettes at parties, while Hindusty now Dorothy Hith flagship counts a stylish cigarette

case and lighter among its exclusive match. Charli SCE served slim cigarettes on about boys along with current matchbooks at her wedding last September, and this year alone, both Rutter, Richer and Madonna posed with cigarettes for Interview magazine.

It's not the habit that's making a comeback, but rather everything cigarettes have come to enjoy. And, according to Dr. Carolyn Muir, a Britain-based chartered mythologist and author of The Psychology of Fashion. "Psychologically, we are often drawn to symbolise rather than behaviour," she said. "A ceramic ashtray, for ex-

ample, may evoke rebellion, glamour, artistic identity or a chance more cinematic way of the rather than any desire to smoke. For younger generations especially, cigarettes are more likely to be considered through films, fashion and vintage design than personal experience, allowing them to function as visual icons rather than behavioural cues."

Lindsay Gaard, the Toronto-based artist behind a Lindsey hides, has been making intricately detailed canons evokes for corporate clients - Hermès, Barbour and Sydness among them - for nearly two decades. She said, in her own way, her cigarette-flavored style has been developed over the past year. In April, Gaard hailed a large because flavored cigarette cake for a former smoker in his ass. At a recent charity, she said, "I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good

In the same time, Hammond isn't surprised that cigarette images is so confusing. Smoking has been seen as so usually uncooperative over the past five decades that a cigarette now instantly tobacco is a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way

That said the appeal has been so gaging with the taboo in ways that feel safe. "It allows just to experience the emotional appeal of something behind the without the real world," she said.

At a time when we're inundated with ideas about health, information, smartwatches tracking

our every move and protein everything, the cigarette could also be considered the ultimate, auto-Goop act of defiance. In Muir explained, "Cigarette-inspired aesthetics may reflect a reaction to today's culture of wellness and constant self-monitoring. [The] imagery can symbolize spontaneity, impetiscence, and freedom from relentless self-imperceived."

I could not now wave of cigarette much have the effect of nonsmoking smoking again? Dr. David Hammond, a professor and university research chair in the School of Public Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo, said there's no evidence that smoking itself is making a comeback. (Smoking rates in Canada remain near their lowest levels on record.) "The scientist in my way, until I see actual evidence on the numbers, I have to be skeptical," he added.

At the same time, Hammond isn't surprised that cigarette images is so confusing. Smoking has been seen as so usually uncooperative over the past five decades that a cigarette now instantly tobacco is a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way to make it a good way

For Phelon, the artist, the appeal is much simpler. She uses her ashtrays as decorative objects, conversation pieces and, most of all, reminders of another era. "Look what we need to do," she said with a laugh.

The Blue Jays helped me reconnect with my late mom

FIRST PERSON

Now that I've found my way back to baseball, I feel her with me in a way I didn't expect, Ranna S. Mandel writes

My mother died in the most unusual way – watching baseball. She had loved the sport since she was a girl in Denver, Sask. As an adult, she was a Toronto Blue Jays fan through and through. I still remember, as a young woman, being with her at Exhibition Stadium when she nearly got herself tossed out for trying too hard to get loose Bartlett's auto-graph. There was nothing to do but laugh because she had spunk, and she was fearless.

In 1986, a few years before the Jays' back-to-back World Series Championships, she died quickly at home, watching the game, where a brain absorption (one she didn't know she had) ruptured.

While her death was sudden, two didn't take my mother away all at once. It left me with peace – particularly since there was no time to say goodbye. An ache began to sit on my chest and listened for years.

For us, baseball was the place we fully connected. But without her, baseball lost its meaning – the language we spoke together simply no longer stated. I couldn't have to watch the same any more. The joy evaporated. I realized I had only watched the games to spend time with my mom.

In her, baseball wasn't a sport but a doorway to another dimension. She was never a spiritual woman, but she always felt safe and calm watching the Jays. And next to her I always felt safe and loved.

When my mom died, I felt a kind of longing I had never known. I kept rejoicing, the nights we sat up late, drinking tea and talking for no reason other than to be together. After it's first major back injury, she flew to California without hesitation. The cost, the inconvenience – none of it mattered. I was her child, and she came.

After she was gone, baseball changed for me. The connection we had built around the game went dark, as if someone had turned off a light I didn't know how to watch back on the decades, I stayed away. The emotional thread wasn't just frayed, it had reached.

Then last year happened – that sudden, especially Jays ran that felt like a gift dropped out of the sky. I kept wishing she were here for it, to narrate every inning the way she used to.

The summer, as the team edged toward the All Star break, I

caught myself wondering what she'd say about Dylan Coan, Susan Yarkand and Fiona Coleman being chosen for the All Star Game, or about the season of the ahead. Baseball was never just a game to her, it was a way of looking hope. That hope was not about her, it was about us – her children and grandchildren. To my mother, the game bound to together in the normal magic of the ballpark and its history.

The story of Sandy Koulka, held a place of honour in our home. A Jewish ballplayer who refused to play on Tom Kipper. The fray of statement: Each year around that time on the calendar we rebuilt the story as if it had just happened. One moment in his life reverberated for decades in our home.

She bought to go to games but never alone – that was unthinkable for her. If it wasn't me, then it was her grandson who later became a tennis professional for a brief time. The game alone was never enough. She needed to narrate everything, what was happening on the field, why it mattered, and how the game echoed inside her own mind. She didn't watch baseball, she lived it.

For my mom, the Jays' games were a refuge – a companion she could count on. I wish I had asked her more about that. Now

that I've found my way back to baseball, I feel her with me in a way I didn't expect. I miss her and I always will, but watching the games express memories that feel warm instead of painful. I want to much more for this team that brought her limitless joy.

I want success for them, of course, but I also want it for the mother whose capacity for loving this team was remarkable.

Sometimes teams struggle – that's no revelation. But when I look at the way fans react now especially online, I'm struck by the whining, the despair (the certainty that the Jays have somehow belonged them personally. My mother never watched baseball that way.

For her, sports weren't about winning – it is being, they were about belonging. What felt like a shared life, howes like a quiet ache we spend together.

Whatever happens I'll always have a place so my heart for the boys in blue. Here's hoping they hit one for themselves and one for my mom – she just may be watching.

A defender should always keep in mind exactly how many tricks his side needs to set the contract. This number becomes his goal for that hand, and if he loses sight of it, disaster might follow.

Consider this deal where West led a spade against four hearts. Dummer's king took the trick, and declares led a low trump to be hand, to which East followed low.

South won with the queen and called the ace of spades, discarding a diamond from dummy. He conceded a trump to East's ace, but the defenders could no longer either meet than a diamond and a club, so declare made the contract.

It is easy to see that if East had gone up with the ace on the first heart lead from dummy and returned a diamond, South would have gone down one. The question is whether East should have made this play without having seen all four hands.

The answer lies in the principle set forth above. As soon as dummy appears, East should add himself how and where his side might get the four tricks needed to defeat the contract. His only chance of stopping the contract lies in the hope that his partner can score two diamond tricks.

The trouble with playing low

on the first heart lead is that it allows declares to get to his hand and discard a diamond from dummy on the ace of spades. (South is marked with the spade ace, since West would not underlead an ace at trick one.)

East should therefore rise with the heart ace at trick two and shift to a diamond as the one and with chance to set the contract. In doing so, he abandons the usual practice of "second hand low" because the circumstances indicate that in this case it is the wrong thing to do.

CNE offers another round of wacky food combos

Venders cook up during food combinations as part of popular Toronto end-of-summer fair

MONROE KASIMSA LUISA MENES

Keith Dimier smoothies, nitrogen-infused Ones treats and pickle-flavorated coffee are among the wild food offerings at the Canadian National Exhibition this year.

During food combinations are usually the start of the annual end-of-summer Toronto fair that also features carnival rides and wild ketchup on Ontario Science Centre pop-up this year.

Toronto is one of the greatest food cities in the world and so we take our responsibility really seriously to be a big part of that. Wack finding CEO of the fair, said Wednesday at a preview of the event.

"There's so much creativity that goes into the life. Who that we book with, I love seeing what they come up with and a lot of it is actually super delicious," he said.

The former federal health minister says the better chicken taquitos are his favourite this year.

The Keith Dimier smoothies are billed as a "wondering" sweet and savoury treat, with cheesy KO thicker dust blended with energy, pineapple juice and vanilla-frozen sugars.

The sweet and savoury combos span from jerk chicken hotdogs wrapped in waffles to cumin shell kimchi chicken laces — both featuring bright pink cotton candy and the CNEs now boost final cotton candy but sauce.

Gordiery Saladega is bringing other startling summer flavors: a smoky bacon and white chocolate iced mecha, and a dill pickle Gook iced coffee.

"The pickle flavour has just been a staple at the CNE for so long, so we've been trying to incorporate it into our menu and this year we finally figured out how to do it

with our own dill pickle flavour," said Gordiery Saladega employee Audrey St. Galan.

"It's just blended into the coffee with the sugar and everything else."

The frozen "Space Kudai" treat is a nod to this year's galactic theme — Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hanson will answer questions about the Artemis II mission and life to space on Friday, the fair's opening day.

The Ones treats were carefully dried out of a freezing cold bucket on Wednesday, and otherworldly details of nitrogen fog spilled out of the bowls.

Some of the offerings were bite-sized, such as edible spheres filled with blue raspberry dirty soda and strawberry cold buns. Others were most of a commitment, including the food long butter chicken to quins, which is stuffed with fragrant buns and served with a creamy aisii.

Beach Hill two-fishouse is serving up a

unique twist on southern American classes with warm, crispy waffle comes stuffed with sweet candied yams and topped with a hearty serving of flavor made mac and cheese.

The idea came afterlovely to smoke-house pithwater fudre (sic).

"No didn't think too hard on it, we kind of like sat down in the living room one night, talked as a family and the ideas just started downloading in the head," the last said in an interview.

The city's pickle transit agency is planning to add service on bus and streetcar routes that serve Exhibition Place while the CNE runs through Labour Day.

The TIE will also run dedicated CNE shuttle buses providing service between the railway line at Dufferin Station and the Dufferin Loop near the exhibition grounds, it said.

Mitch Maki, 82, finished this year's Edmonton Marathon in three hours, three minutes and eight seconds, but believes he would have much under the three-hour mark if he didn't have to run the extra 650 metres that were accidentally added to the course this year.

Edmonton: For many amateur runners, the race was their last shot at qualifying for the Boston Marathon

© FRIDAY 42

Athletics Canada did not comment on the issue on Wednesday.

The error had sparked a furor among recreational and professional runners. For many amateurs, the race — a law and August marathon — was their last shot at qualifying for the Boston Marathon, for which runners often have to slip under the time standard by several minutes to pick a spot on the intense race, owing to its popularity.

Professional racers said the 6-pt metre minutes added between an seconds and two minutes to their final time, and amateurs may have gained its excess of their to four minutes.

The Boston Athletic Association, the organization overseeing the Boston Marathon, said in a statement to The Globe and Mail that it can't accept adjusted results if the race distance was more or less than 2.4 Kilometres, the standard marathon distance.

The mistake also can't a cloud over the half marathon, the national championship race, which brought out results of Canada's fastest all-time distance runners.

And by Kester, ya, won the women's half marathon in one hour, so minutes and 1.4 minutes, and even in the distance, On a regulation-length course, Ms Kester would have likely been to spitting distance of Andrea Seccallon's national re-

cord of one hour, nine minutes and 19 seconds.

"I was definitely within that ballpark of being close to it, at least, and I was for sure at least under 70 minutes,"

said Ms Kester, whose time was more than two minutes over that mark.

The runner, a native of Kanto, Ont., said she raced up when she realized in the final kilometer that the course was likely long — was definitely buttoned about that whole situation. But at the same time, I do also realize that it was a mistake," she said.

The more women, Kerry Linkletter, the first Canadian man to run a half marathon in less than an hour — figured just past the

ballway point that there was an error. Ms Linkletter said he built a fairly load over the top men in the competition between the ninth and 10th bar, whose GP's data showed him reaching a pace well below three minutes a kilometre.

And yet, the official race time showed Ms Linkletter showing down around what was believed to be the 1,500 mark.

"Comment some prevails, right? I know I'm not running that slow. Like, I just know," he said.

Ms Linkletter said he "disengaged," knowing he likely had the national championship locked down.

The distance mishap also scrapped some athleticly push of pulling into the top-five national rankings that would qualify them for September's World Athletics Road Running Championships. Men can with quality if they run faster than one hour, three minutes and an seconds. Now, including Ms Linkletter, hit the mark, though many of those top men have met the qualifying time in race earlier this year.

"It basically made the race useless," he said.

The Calgary-born runner said he was preparing to have locals restaurant the course before officials conceded the

error. In the afternoon of the famer, many runners have offered forgiveness to marathon organizers who are frustrated the race didn't acknowledge the little sooner. Some, like Ms Maki, are still feeling the sting.

"I was convinced I ran the perfect race, but that time wasn't there, and it was depicting and, I don't know — mosaic crushing," he said.

"It was just such an odd feeling."

In Italy, a beach club run by nuns is in jeopardy

ELISABETTA PIVOLERSI ROWE

It's been billed as the Sisters of Charity versus the mayor.

For its years or more, the Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary have occupied a small slice of unminimal paradise, running one of thousands of beach clubs along Italy's coast.

But the longtime arrangement in bytown was, at Italian city on the Egyptian sea, they were known to an end. The mare' beach, like all the Italian coastline, is publicly owned, and local officials say there have will soon be put up for auction, along with those of other beachfront clubs.

Some of the local residents are unhappy about it, saying that the mare had supported the community for many years. Italian naves outlaw have picked up the story, according to their using 'southwest on "Italy War" on their headlines.

But Mayor Nishio Fiorini says he is simply trying to enforce regional and European Union laws that have been ignored for two decades.

"Every Italian story seems a soap opera," he said, adding, "We have a house for coming up with 1,000 laws a day and, apparently, failing to enforce even a single one."

On a sandy stretch of beach, it's more rare a summer camp for children and men underlie and lounge chairs to headlayers.

Some families in Spokomo have sent their children to the summer camp for generations. While the mare don't set up the beachgoers' umbrella — that task is left to a lifeguard — they do "pass among them asking people how they are," and bringing "words of comfort" said Valeria Accorini, "we had to relent.

The mare' strip of sand, 50 meters wide and running from the villa to the sea, is one of more than 7,000 like it on the Italian coastline, found to private clubs, most of which are family one. The clubs generally don't change admission per se, but they require beachgoers to rest a lounges chair, usually with an umbrella.

In 2009, the 10' passed a law prohibiting the automatic renewal of licence for public access such as beaches, requiring that open auctions be held instead. Italy's beachfront clubs have denounced the law over once, and it has gone mostly unenforced on the Italian coastline.

Now, though, Italy's government has told municipalities that they must start putting the beach licence up for auction by next year.

Critics say they have to try to buy a public good — public access to Italy's beaches is supposed to be guaranteed — while creating an increasingly expensive monopoly.

Besides the EU law, Mr Fiorini said, he has to comply with a copy law passed by the regional government, also widely ignored, that calls for a pro court of beaches to be free, or partly free. The new licence that will go up for auction is front of the mare 'villa to for a "first equipped beach," meaning that on one part of the beach, renting a lounge chair or an umbrella will not be required.

Mr Fiorini said he also hoped the public auction would lead to more investment in Spokomo's beachfront. He said the city's services and infrastructure were "much on the price," when Italian families would try to help chairs and umbrellas at clubs for an entire season, and the city would live off the tourism. "This system worked, then," he said.

Some Spokomo residents argue that the Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary's design is an ordinary beachfront club.

While they do not beach chairs and umbrellas, their summer camp for children, and a nursery school, they can in the winter, exposure "an irreplaceable social service for Spokomo," said Ms Accorini, who said her on year old daughter had attended the camp and the nursery school for more. The Sisters of Charity were a commitment for this article, but they asked Ms Accorini to speak on their behalf.

Ms Fiorini said that made little difference. "I've not disposing the fact that, in this case, the money is actually sent elsewhere for charitable purposes, but unfortunately that matters little under the law," he said. "Since they are a beach owner like any other, they have a newspaper in a competitive bidding process."

U.S. Treasury to buy bonds in bid to keep borrowing costs lower

JOE BENNISON

The U.S. Treasury Department took its latest step Wednesday to try to contain rising borrowing costs, doubling the amount of in-sets debt it is permitted to buy back from investors, found yields fall sharply on the move, and stock markets rallied.

The most reflects the interest in the government bond market in recent weeks, as rising deficits, rampant borrowing by artificial intelligence companies and stubborn inflation together have pushed yields on longer-dated Treasuries higher.

That is a worry for policy makers and investors. The Treasury market is the largest bond market in the world, and yields on the government debt are used across the world as a benchmark for such things as business loans and mortgages. Higher Treasury yields typically translate into higher interest rates throughout the economy, reducing affordability for households.

Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, has pointed to Treasury yields as a barometer of his success in improving affordability, saying that interest rates play a major role in whether a young family can afford a home, a college student can buy a car, or an entrepreneur can get a small business loan.

Trump's plan to resurrect Keystone XI. baffles energy analysts

JEFFREY JONES CAUSARY

News of Keystone XI's rebirth may be slightly exaggerated.

U.S. President Donald Trump said him Tuesday that the ill-fated pipeline proposal - a flashpoint in the debate about the impact of your state on a Chinese change - could be resurrected as part of a trade deal with Canada.

Mr. Trump brought the Canada-to-U.S. pipeline up in a social-media post announcing that he had postponed)( Applying tariffs on US$2.5 million worth of Canadian goods for three days to allow negotiations to finalize a trade agreement.

Mr. Trump wrote that the pipeline "may be awaken from the grave" and included an AI-generated image of homied polling it up from the ground. He also took a job at former president Joe Biden, who rescinded the presidential committee for Keystone XI, as one of his first orders after taking office in 2025.

U.S. and Canadian officials offered no further details.

However, a proposal that loosely follows parts of the previous Keystone XI route is well under way, with final investment decisions planned for the middle of next year.

In fact, Mr. Trump has issued a permit for the U.S. partner in that development. © KEYSTONE, 80

Former Nvidia AI researcher Sanja Fidler raises $90-million for Toronto robotics startup

JOE CASTALDO

Former Nvidia Corp. researcher Sanja Fidler has launched a new Toronto startup that will build artificial intelligence models to help train robots, with backing from venture capital firms Rhoda Ventures and Radical Ventures.

Mr. Fidler is chief executive officer of the new company, which is called Nvidia Innovation Inc. and will have offices in Toronto, Zurich, Singapore and Mountain View, Calif. She co-founded the company with former Nvidia colleagues Zan Gopis and Hazel Ling.

The named Nvidia because we believe robotics will reshape the world," she wrote in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday. The company was incorporated in June, a month before she announced her departure from Nvidia, where she most recently

worked as vice-president of AI research in Toronto.

The company has raised more than US$6-million, according to a source for maker with the market. The build and trial is not identifying the source because they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. A spokesperson for Nvidia declined to comment.

Advances in AI have spurred the robotics sector in recent years. Companies such as Tesla Inc., Figure AI and IX Technologies are building general-purpose humanoid robots to someday work in factories and perform domestic rhenes inside the home. Chinese company Unibox Robotics went public to Shanghai on Wednesday, with shares rising by around 400 per cent. Some auto-manufacturers can already testing humanoid robots inside of assembly plants.

These robots repare sophisticated AI models in order to interact with the world

and perform tasks autonomously, rather than be relinquished by a human.

Voxda will focus on building world models that mimic physical reality. One of the challenges in the field is that training a robot in the real world can be expensive, slow and carry safety risks. Voxda will instead create a simulated training environment "where robot intelligence can interact with an entirely virtual world in a million possible ways, learning from its own mistakes," according to its website.

The company referred to its simulator as The Matrix for physical AI, referring to the science fiction film.

Toronto-based autonomous vehicle company Wude Innovation Inc. has also trained AI models in simulated environments, which broaden the gap if Ontario has argued in less expensive and safer than normal testing.

Investor alleges $4.5-million in losses owing to fraudulent trades in TD accounts

ERICA ALINI

TELEGRAM, BEDDOMEES REPORTER

A Calgary investor is suing TD Waterhouse Canada Inc., a subsidiary of Toronto-Dominion Bank, saying that the institution failed to stop fraudulent trades that caused him a loss of approximately $4.5-million.

Tim Tscholls, owner of Thewest Ltd., a small oil and gas company in Alberta, said the alleged fraud signal out most of his retirement funds. A statement of claim filed by the legal team alleged that someone gained access to two of his TD Doses involving accounts in mid-February while he was vacationing in Hawaii. The fraudsters sold most of his investments and bought more than $1-million worth of a thirty-traded Hong Kong stock whose value collapsed shortly thereafter, leaving Mr. Tscholls with a multimillion-dollar loss, the lawsuit alleges.

In its statement of defense, TD denied any liability and said Mr. Tscholls executed or authorized the trades himself or she failed to keep access to his accounts secure. None of the allegations have been tested in court.

The lawsuit underscores the complexity of establishing when an incoming fraud has occurred and, if it has, who should bear responsibility for it as a time when investors, financial institutions and regulators are grappling with increasingly sophisticated scams and backs, often perpetrated by cross-border criminals.

TD said it was unable to comment on the case, as the matter is before the courts. In an e-mailed interview, Miss Rose, a spokesperson for the bank, called phishing and fraudulminess a "persistent threat" for individuals and businesses. She added that TD uses, and continues to invest in, a variety of resources to safeguard customer accounts.

Mr. Tscholls, who is 16, said the financial loss should be retirement plans and left him profoundly shaken.

"This whole period was a series of anxiety attacks," he said.

The alleged fraud occurred on Feb. 10, when Mr. Tscholls, who was in Hawaii to celebrate his wedding anniversary, said he discovered he could no longer log into his accounts and called TD to flag the issue and place some trades in his U.S.-dollar margin trading account over the phone.

It wasn't until the following day that he found out someone had liquidated his investments in the U.S. account and bought access shares, 9,000.00 million, of a small Hong Kong company called Rich Sparkle Holdings Ltd., he said. The company, which trades on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker ANPA, describes itself as a financial printing and corporate services provider.

RBC hires Caroline Mulroney as vice-chair

Bank tapped former Ontario minister for her 'unique' experience in public service, legal and financial services

STEPHEN MARSTON

SANDERS, REPUBLIC

Royal Bank of Canada has hired former Ontario minister Caroline Mulroney as vice-chair, tasking her with deepening the lenders' relationships with clients and business leaders globally.

Ms. Mulroney's daughter of late prime minister Brian Mulroney and formerly one of the highest-profit members of Ontario Product Drug itself, minor undisturbed clients from her seat in the Ontario Legislature in June. She is a member of the 'unique' experience in public service, legal and financial services, according to an internal announcement viewed by The Globe and Mail.

As part of her role, Ms. Mulroney will "safest our business leaders on the implications of

evolving government policy, regulatory, and public sector developments for our clients." RBC head of capital markets David Seldner said in a memo.

Her appointment is taking place at a critical time for Canada's biggest bank as it expands its businesses in the United States and Europe and seeks to bolster its dominance in Canada, which faces trade upheaval and economic uncertainty.

RBC's senior leaders have said that foreign companies and investors are increasingly looking for opportunities to deploy capital in Canada amid Ontario's ambitions to boost economic growth. Canadian businesses are expanding their scale into markets overseas and Ottawa is diversifying the country's trade partners.

To 1 look at the years ahead, the opportunity for connecting clients globally and in particular between Europe and North America, is probably even similar to going forward. Ms. Seldner said in a recent interview with The Globe.

ties can play will be even better." Ms. Mulroney will focus on connecting clients with RBC's businesses across capital markets, commercial banking and wealth management. She will

join the bank on Sept. 12 and will be subject to Mr. Madhuri service.

She most recently held roles as the province's Treasury Board president and minister of franci-

phene affairs.

Ms. Mulroney—who was raised in the 1980s—is the during the Far they's into years as prime minister can be the position of leader of the Progressive Conservatives in such fact but to the Ford. Due to his eight-year tenure in cabinet, she also served as attorney general and minister of transportation.

She plays a fudded with bringing "senior-level strategic perspectives" to the lenders' clients.

Moderna shares surge after successful trial for Moderna vaccine

CHRISTY SAXTHOH

SHADWAT, CANADIAN CHICAGO

Moderna Inc. said on Wednesday that a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine reduced the risk of recurrence and spread of melanoma in a late-stage trial, a major success in a new field of cancer treatment that sent the drugmaker's shares surging as much as 300 per cent.

Moderna developed the vaccine with Merck & Co. Inc. and tested a cigarette with immunotherapy drug Keytruda, a widely used treatment for melanoma. Thousands of patients who have undergone surgery to remove high-risk melanoma tumours could benefit as soon as next year if regulatory approval the vaccine, Moderna president Stephen Paige said in an interview.

This is the first positive late-stage trial result for an mRNA cancer vaccine, which trains a patient's immune system to fight tumours by targeting specific mutations in those cells, and the first such study to show that adding a treatment to Keytruda worked better than that therapy alone. Similar approaches are being tested against lung, breast and pancreatic cancers.

Karen Knudsen, chief executive officer of the Farber Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, said the Moderna results could signal a new era for treating solid-tumour cancers.

"The positive hit here leads us into truly this next phase of immunotherapy," Dr. Knudsen said. "This is an auspicious start - this is where things begin."

The results signaled a reversal of fortune for Moderna, which has struggled to generate new products beyond its COVID19 vaccine and faced pushback over its mRNA technology from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Moderna shares target to multitour highs, adding nearly 50% of mRNA to the computer market capitalization. Merck climbed to per cent on hopes the vaccine will expand its prospects in cancer as Keytruda, once the world's bestselling drug, faces patent expiration later this decade.

The trial results attracted new investors interest in the biochemist's study. The McGraw-Hill technology index climbed a 2 per cent to a record high, compared with a 0.2 per cent gain in the benchmark 50%.

The vaccine - which is a personalized treatment - could be difficult to make and scale up commercially, although Dr. Paige said Moderna is confident it can meet demand over the next few years.

Interim results of the continuing study, released on Wednesday, found the treatment, bituminous, met both its primary target of reducing cancer recurrence and its second airy end of preventing tumours from spreading to other parts of the body, compared with Keytruda alone. The companies did not provide detailed results, which they said would be shared at an upcoming medical meeting.

"This is the first time that we've seen really clinically significant, statistically significant improvements over checkpoints like Keytruda in this population, and it is the first time we've done that with an individualized treatment," Dr. Paige said.

Mechanized the companies are already in talks with regulators about the treatment. Dr. Paige said given the vaccine's breakthrough therapy designations, it could be available, as soon as next year. He called the result a landmark.

William Blair analyst Styles Winter said the interim results position both companies well to work regulatory approval, while also making problems for the vaccine's continuing studies in other types of cancer.

Last month, Barclays analysts said they expect the therapy could generate annual sales of about 150p billion for treating melanoma by 10p.

17. Morgan analysts said the launch of bituminous in adjuvant melanoma will be key to Moderna returning to probability.

A cancer treatment combined Merck's Keytruda with a made-in-order mRNA vaccine from Moderna that is based on an analysis of mutations found in the patients' own tumours.

The trial enrolled a 1yr high-risk patients with stage III-IV melanoma that had been surgically resected.

Volunteers were randomized to receive up to nine doses of Keytruda plus the personalized vaccine or Keytruda alone for about one year. The companies said no new safety signals have emerged in the trial. In January, the companies announced that they will also stage trial of the treatment by the ring that it reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 40 per cent after five years.

Moderna CEO Stephens Bansal, appearing on CNBC, said the companies have not decided on pricing, saying the data have only become available "a couple days ago."

Melanoma is the daughter home of skin cancer. In 1992, there were more than 4,500,000 people in the U.S. living with melanoma, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Many U.S. Fed officials think higher rates will be needed if inflation stays high

CHRISTOPHER RYLAHEER

WASHINGTON

Many U.S. Federal Reserve officials think the central bank will have to lift its key short-term interest rate in the coming months if inflation doesn't subside, now, sites of the Fed's meeting last month showed.

The minutes of the July 26-29 meeting, released Wednesday, don't provide specifics on how many of the 50 officials supported higher rates. Only 2 of the 50 policy makers vote on the outcome. Officials voted 0.9 at the maximum to keep their key rate unchanged at about 1.9 per cent.

Inflation has since slowed some signs of cooling, though gaseous have rebounded this month on removed hostilities on the Middle East. The latest news-reviews expect the Fed to remain on hold at no cost on a return on September and potentially life-savers December, though that outlook could change.

At last month's meeting, Fed officials were heavily focused on the threat of subfriendly elevated inflation. Fed officials seemed that the fear was, tariffs, and heavy investment in AI infrastructure were all becoming perceived as a result of the

"Participants judged that their inflation outlooks more highly uncertain and that inflation risks

were skewed to the upside," the minutes said. "Many participants assessed that [higher rates] would likely be necessary if inflation did not decline."

Some Fed officials pointed out that "even after excluding prices of items most directly affected by tariffs and energy prices, industry inflation appeared to be elevated," the minutes said.

Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, so called "cost" prices have cooled, with annual cost inflation falling to 0.2 per cent in July, the government said last week, according to the ConsumerProcludes. Yet the Fed pays more attention to a separate gauge, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, which is running better than the CPI Cost PCE prices are expected to have more 0.2 per cent in July from a year ago, a much higher reading than CPI. These figures will be reported Aug. 30.

According to the minutes, "Most participants anticipated that inflation would only down over 1.9% over the year as the effects of tariffs and earlier energy price increases were, but most participants noted the possibility that inflation might be more persistently elevated."

New Fed also favors World-alloy, many said. "Most investment last month by providing little guidance at a high or more conference on what the Fed's next steps

might be, threatening the Fed's inflation fighting, modified by historic rates, or public on longer-term Treasury securities, which had already been before the meeting moved higher."

Mr. World has said he will provide less of what he calls "forward guidance" about the Fed's plans, which he sees as limiting the central bank's policy options even if economic circumstances change. At the news conference, Mr. World's first major business, becoming the Fed's key-run even if inflation stays consistently high.

The yield on the key to your Treasury was reached on highest point more than a year Tuesday, topping 0.7 per cent. Before falling back Wednesday, Mortgage notes have followed the 10-year higher, lifting borrowing costs for potential buyers. This yield on 20-year bonds reached the highest level since 1993.

In response, earlier Wednesday, the Treasury Department said it would buy back more longer-term Treasury bonds, which helped to lower yields on the 10-year and 20-year Treasuries. But the more highlighted the government's concerns that rising borrowing costs could weigh on the economy, particularly as U.S. tech companies are stepping up their own funds to reduce the potential intelligence infrastructure.

Ex-ApplyBoard CEOs' new startup competing with former company

Martin Basin's Passage named 'exclusive strategic AI and technology partner' for Educational Testing Service

TEAN KECOTY

TECHNOLOGY REPORTER

Martin Basin founded ApplyBoard Inc. with his two-younger brothers to streamline the process for foreign students to apply for universities in Canada and elsewhere. Under his leadership, ApplyBoard became one of the most highly valued managers in Kitchener-Stanford since Blackberry Ltd.

For his next startup, the banan from Mt. Basin had an even higher standard goal in the foreign students who had the best results in that the nation's study and work in Canada – and connect with financiers who could fund their journey. The four-year-old company, Passage Inc., raised $4.1 million in cash, led by ApplyBoard leader Steve Capital, and initially helped more than six female students from Afghanistan, Israel and the United States to become a Canadian.

But after the Canadian government pulled back on foreign student visa approvals and cut immigration levels in 2024, Mt. Basin needed a new strategy. At assembled financial backing to buy two of the world's best-known college and university admissions from 1/2013, Tom of English as a foreign language and GRE (Graduate Record Examination) from Switzerland, testing Service (STS), but the U.S. nonprofit didn't proceed with the divestiture.

However, Mr. Basin had a book up plan, hatched last year. On Tuesday, that plan here that in STS announced the future of the Passage would be its 'exclusive strategic AI and technology partner to extend the reach and utility of TOEFL and GRE within the education system.'

That's one catch: Passage's new plan looks a little what ApplyBoard, now led by Mr. Basin's manager brother Meta Basiri, already does. 'So the early days I would have said no,' Passage isn't a competitor to ApplyBoard. Meta said in an interview. But now, 'Yeah, I would categorize it as one of our competitors.'

Passage has developed a suite of AI agents that it calls lack of, broad and like, which it calls to universities and colleges. Lack is a virtual counsellor that guides prospective students to apply to the right programs, answers their questions, walks them through applications and identifies scholarships opportunities, with around the clock, multilingual support.

What is Passage's process currently, ensuring applications are complete with all required and validated documents, including English tests, passports and bank letters. It also detects fraud. This, meanwhile, is a virtual video interviewer that answers skills and qualifications of applicants and produces structured evaluations for reviewers.

STS stated that by combining its testing with Passage's 'advanced AI processing, matching and engagement capabilities, the partnership will help institutions more effectively identify and connect with how to students at scale. Students will gain a faster, more transparent path from discovery to excellence.'

ApplyBoard also offers automated tools that streamline the application process for foreign students applying for postsecondary education. It has a pre-institutional America Canada, the U.S., Australia, Germany, Ireland and Britain, and its shareholders include Ontario, Quebec, Pension Plan, Fidelity and Caicos. At depth of placement the Quebec, São Paulo, is much less student and has learned heavily from the world.

Asked if Passage competes with ApplyBoard, Martin acknowledged 'from trying to make the application processing and the process of going to universities easier, it's kind of similar.'

He noted that while his brother remains an ApplyBoard shareholder, he isn't on the board, nor does he have access 'to any information that could harm or disadvantage' the company. Many past employees have worked for competitors, and 'we've had many competitors that have some and gone,' he added. 'I don't necessarily lose deep over the next two competitors.'

As such, there are notable differences between the two. Martin said, ApplyBoard's business was overwhelmingly concentrated in Canada until 2025 (in home country will account for close to 40 per cent of revenues) while Passage is 'not about immigration to Canada. This is a global plan' 'While ApplyBoard focuses on streamlining applications, 'one of the biggest things we do at Passage is association,' he said.

Both businesses operate in a challenged sector because of increasingly negative sentiments toward immigration in some markets and spending pressures across postsecondary institutions. ApplyBoard revenues have dropped to under $20 million in the sector of four million in 2023, and it does cut its suppliers' costs by 10 per cent from peak levels, to 900 people, although the business remains well capitalized and has been experiencing a package in bookings. Meta said.

The testing industry has also been challenged since some universities during the pandemic made graduate exams up to 10 million. 'Unlike language skills service, Prologue also offers a combination of the TOEFL that students can take at home, rather than in a testing facility.'

Former Meta engineer says Instagram took 'don't ask don't tell' stance on kids under 13

BARBARA OSTETRY

OAKLAND, CALIF.

A former engineering director at Meta Platforms Inc. who has testified before Congress about child safety on Instagram told James Wednesday at a landmark trial that the company took a 'don't ask don't tell' approach on kids under 13 on its platforms.

During his second day of testimony, Arturo Bijar said Meta consistently prioritized youth over safety in designing its products, focusing on how often and for how long they don't know, even if it was detrimental to their mental well-being.

'If you step away from the product, they are not going to make any money,' he said.

The trial that began Tuesday in federal court in Oakland, Calif., pin Meta against the status of California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey and is expected to last about six weeks. The four states were among 20 that used the trick giant in 2023 over child safety and privacy – the other is will go in trial later. The company also faces lawsuits in state courts, including one under way in Tennessee.

The lawsuit across Meta of contributing to the youth mental health crisis by knowingly undeliberately designing features that get children addicted to its platforms and hiding those harms from the public. It also argues that Meta routinely collects data on children under 13 without their parents' consent, in violation of federal law.

'The attitude in particular on Instagram was 'Don't ask don't tell.' Mr. Bijar said in response to a question about his perception of the company's attitude toward users under 13.

The company has rejected the claims and said evidence at the trial will show its commitment to safety.

'You will hear over the course of this case a lot of important issues, issues like tests mental health issues that social media access like other tests are social media,' Meta James Paul Schmidt said Tuesday. 'There are important issues, and they're in one where Meta believes that it has a responsibility. It has a responsibility to act on its own. It has a responsibility to try to work with teams and parents in partnership to try to address those questions.'

Mr. Bijar worked at Facebook from 2012 to 2024, attending with attention for his work to combat schoolfishing. He returned from 2015 to 2021 in a contractor to work on safety issues. He testified before Congress in 2021 about

social media and the term mental health crisis, saying that Meta continues, including chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg, knew about harms. Instagram was causing but chose not to make meaningful changes to address them.

In his testimony Wednesday, Mr. Bijar said employer performance reviews and compensation for those who worked on over-facing products were mostly focused on user numbers and how long they spend with those products.

If you step away from the product,

they are not going to make any money.

'In that context, safety was an afterthought,' he said.

The state are seeking changes to user experiences for Facebook and Instagram as well as financial damages on Facebook include billions of dollars in penalties. In a written statement, the office of California's Attorney-General said if Meta knew, the amount of any damages would be set by the court.

'This case is about stopping Meta from offering a dangerous product to team, and from lying to team. families, and the public about the dangerousness of their platforms. The primary remedy under our state consumer protection law is an injunction,' the statement said.

Mr. Bijar walked through Meta features he said were designed for adults and are 'inherently unsafe for teenagers.'

This includes video autoplay, which has access to one sex video, that may cause them harm even if

they don't click on them, as well as various counters that track how many people blind, viewed or commented on your content or how many followers you have.

Child development experts have noted teenagers are more susceptible to social comparison than adults, so products that reward popularity can be more harmful to their mental health.

Meta says government be at least 13 years old to create an account, in line with federal child privacy laws. But Mr. Bijar testified that he found 'tens of thousands' of kids under 13 on Instagram through his research. He said it was 'common knowledge' at the company that such young children were on Instagram.

Meta has one of the most sophisticated infrastructures in the world to detect fake accounts, 'he said. But despite that, he added, there were 'no goals, no metrics,' to detect and check kids' age when were supposed to be under 13.

Over the years, Meta has introduced features it says are designed to make the experience safer for young people. But Mr. Bijar said these are the worst.

For instance, a tool called 'Take a Break,' introduced in 2021, is a feature that is 'designed to fail.' 'He said, then, it is a setting that people have to take out if they want to use it. Mr. Bijar said that in his experience, building settings, very few users actually go through the trouble of turning them on. He compared this as an in法 that drivers have to turn on every time they get in a car.

A safety tool has to be on by default,' he said.

The feature can also be demonstrated with a top of a finger. If Meta has created a new warning, users to take a break, Mr. Bijar said, it would not be so easily striped away.

SOUTH KOREAN CONTAINER SHIP WILL TEST ARCTIC ROUTE TO EUROPE AND WESTERN CONCERN

South Korea will flag off on Saturday a container ship bound for Europe via the Arctic, testing whether a route opened by working on a car can be commonly called 'cable, but taking friction with Western cities, as the wrong way to maintain a experience.'

It is successful, the trip would be South Korea's first such commercial voyage to Europe via the

Arctic, placing it with China and Russia among the five countries whose shipping from have tested or run cargo services along the route. Sailing north from the west of Busan, the Patrikar Act of 1948, is one of the most important routes in the world. Both the first to the second and Poland's Galaxia between returning in a journey expected to take 40 to 40 days, its

operator Patrikar said, 'Arousal September, when this voyage will mainly take place, Arctic occurs' is at its lowest level of the year, making safer navigation possible,' an official of the group said on conditions of movement, as he was not authorized to speak to media.

President Lee Jae Hyeong has made Arctic shipping a priority,

with officials saying it could help transform the construction port of Busan into a global maritime hub and position the Arctic as a regular trade mode for 2023.

Western diplomats, however, are outlawed with the plan, as it has been made to control Russia and such permits for the ship's voyage.

THE GLOBAL AND WALL

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Why is Trump so enthusiastic to make a deal?

U.S. President needs marketable win-even a contrived one—leading into concerns

This isn't over. The President Donald Trump likes to win. He also chose likes to play make-bolares. He has a habit of declaring victory on social media based on the discernible facts, or some at all.

When he has something to market, he markets it. When he doesn't, he's liable to take it until seven before it that he's made it.

How many times has he announced that Iran is involved? That a peace deal is imminent? That the Strad of Horman is open, oil has never stopped flowing and Oceania has always been at war with Eurasian?

I can't count that high without an abuse.

The former trough 75 our also loves to engineer a dithiumper. Hence his decision to build a hard-

time bomb—a po pro can't levy on $10 billion a year of Canadian exports—and yet it is po off at 11:15 a.m. on Aug. 10.

And then, just in the nick of time, he announced that all was saved, and he had delivered the device.

Less than two hours before midnight, he wrote on Truth to said that the threatened tariffs were passed by peace. Canada and the U.S.A., subject to the declaration of documents, have a DEAL?

Prime Minister Mark Carter's presentation of the situation, published an hour later, was sufficient on a newspaper.

"Substantial progress has been made," the PM wrote, "although there is important work still to be done." He added that the U.S. had agreed to peace the tariffs because "this work is not done."

Recent days of intensive talks between Canada and the U.S. like the months of our much-safes that provided them, have been marked by an extreme level of ripidity. Neither Ottawa nor Washington has trimmed to pickle what demands the U.S. has made of Canada, what Canada has asked of the U.S., what has been put on the table by both

sales and what forms-leading has taken place.

And yet there are many things we know.

We know that Mr. Trump wants most imports, including from his partners in the United States—Mexico-Canada Agreement, to be subject to U.S. tariffs. He's made exceptions for products such as oil and metals—he doesn't want to visibly take the injury, hence can pay for guidance at least—but he appears set on subjecting manufactured imports to tariffs.

That is a rather large problem in the comparison with American auto industry, and many of us Canadian industries.

He also wants the rest of the world to needly accept his tariffs and not his fault. Mr. Trump hasn't appreciated that Canada, unlike others, every other country, put up its duties and retailers.

But evaluation has given us no perishing leverage.

In the face of Mr. Trump's demands for tariff acquiescence, Canada's trade negotiators appear to have spent months lagging the push. They had no answer. The USMC is a leading legal agreement, signed by Mr. Trump and ratified by the U.S. Congress-

Standing on it makes sense. The President appears to want Canada to accept treaty-induced tariffs, and for Canada to agree to a re-writ of the USMC's due to weak render Mr. Trump's treaty violation more so complete.

That said, Mr. Trump could also do with a political win for at least something. He can market as a win.

High now, American voters in the opposition have left this debate, intuition, and a trade war with Canada isn't out. If the can turn a trade war most Americans have never heard of any a share on trade victory, it might subtract from the fact it reasons in view that the country is November.

The only specific detail Mr. Trump mentioned in his social media post celebrating a trade deal was the alleged possible re-writing "the great Keystone XI. Pipeline."

It's a long-time Trump discussion. It's also a project that Canada badly wanted, but that two Democratic presidents blocked if Mr. Trump thinks of enquiring Keystone XI. to a win for him? Hallshade.

But there's something else we know.

Trump made policy — like

Trump foreign policy — has become a dysfunctional version of that of its final 30. First and 30. Last.

So price is final, even after final sale.

Adversaries and partners have learned that Mr. Trump is not bound by law, treaty or friendship, and has no composition about breaking written commitments for sagging signed not first ever.

If an interim deal between Washington and Ottawa really is inches from the goalline, that still knows a whole trade relationship in the balance—because this president's term in effect still has an important role in the country.

It remains unclear how this work's table cannot refill broader negotiations over the future of the USMC's.

The USMC starts to start what was the world's most important low-trade deal into a contract with aspects of one-way free trade. He wants not to agree to give him the freedom to build tariffs with against us, while demand continues to be subject to low-term tariffs against the U.S.

That's why this isn't over. It won't be so long as that man is in the White House.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh has avoided comment on aggregate measures of inflation and labour market health, despite being pushed to do so by superiors, and the overestimation of

Bond yields rise best when Fed chair Kevin Warsh saw nothing at all

KEVIN WALD OPINION

Contributing coloured for The Globe and Mail and an economy's decribal student at The University of California, Berkeley

By the latest Federal Reserve press conference in July, the new chair Kevin Warsh opened up the sea uncontaminated. A powerful 1970 thinking, additional markets have caused poorly. Long-term yields仞台成, and Fed-liberal conventions remain divided about the timing of the next interest rate adjustment.

The problems with Mr. Warsh's approach is that he has confused forward guidance, a specific policy tool which he does not believe in, with the general guidance about central bank thinking that remains crucial.

Forward guidance has a very precise definition as necessary policy—it is that unconditional commitments of the central bank to keep interest rates at a particular level (what is known as ifsbrouse-forward-guidance), or a conditional commitment paid with the Fed's own free-part of future conditions (English forward guidance), in essence, it is a commitment to, or prediction about, future rates.

Many conventions would agree with Mr. Warsh that forward guidance can be encountered in maintaining the central bank under some circumstances. If the Federal Reserve commitments unallocated, to a path for interest rates, or when directly that rates are lost, the Finance inflation is not expected to rise, for example, unexpected conditions can have the bank to deviate, or our at a suboptimal policy rate. Including from a state-of-the-art underpinnings in inflation-fighting credibility, while setting the wrong one must either show up in higher inflation or higher unemployment.

That is why forward guidance is best used at the zero-bone forward where interest rates cannot go much lower (for example, during the next financial crisis), when the central bank can only stimulate the economy by promoting better financing conditions in the future.

However, ruling out forward guidance does not mean reducing communications of the Fed's "random function", i.e., how the Fed might different data in the process, what it thinks are the main drivers of inflation, and unemployment. The Fed's "random function" is a very high table conditions in the future (without taking a status on the blackboard of those conditions), in throwing out the latter with the first, Mr.

Warsh has confused forward guidance for standard central bank communication, and left markets baffled.

Congress No communications strategy with that of his predecessor, Jerome Powell. Mr. Powell was unable for walking the press through the market, including terms in Canadian Price Index and labour market, diving into the deal but important details about who was working, why, and differentiating between price pressures to go job, focusing and services.

Mr. Warsh, by contrast, gave the shortest policy statement in two decades in June. The new chair has avoided commenting on the components of our aggregate measures of inflation and labour market health, despite being pushed to do so by reporters. He has expressed skepticism about the Phillips story, which he later high agreement to high inflation, but has not provided a clear sense of what kind of alternative framework he is using to evaluate these phenomena. While Mr. Warsh interested his commitment to a pre-post inflation target, he refused to clarify how this would be a complete and unusual that markets themselves take some responsibility for fighting inflation.

Trabajosening all of this in Mr. Warsh's belief that investors already have all the requisite information to price assets, and that excess Federal Reserve communications only serves to distort their behavior in inefficient ways, testing aside for a second that investors themselves, some displodued with this strategy. Mr. Warsh has failed to recognize that concerns that are not the only thing that matters in determining inflation and asset prices—the Fed's own policy statement is well. Uncertainty in how the Federal Reserve sets the rate is unnecessary and essential.

The consequences of this vagueness are higher inflation expectations, weaker monetary policy effectiveness, and higher risk premiums. U.S. to year and go year based yields even higher inflation rates, and the U.S. has maintained elevated rates, showing that investors move next to be compounded for what they see as higher inflation risk. Seture hikes become less effective because markets cannot stale price by more economic data, and thus become slower to react. Uncertainty in Fed policy rewards investors who are better at generating the funds out of the rate-setting Global Open Market Committee, rather than those who determine where capital is best allocated.

We can argue about whether forward guidance is best used to help Mr. Powell's Federal Reserve. But in his refusal to provide any guidance on the Fed's thinking, Mr. Warsh is throwing out the baby with the bullwater.

Trump thinks his tariffs will tear Canada, who is it does with Trump, data prove him wrong

CARLO DADE SEAN WILLITT

OPINION

Carlo Dade is director by international policy and the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary.

Sean Willitt is a co-founder of policy free Goodfell.

For example, right, U.S. President Donald Trump suspended the latest tariffs on Canada for three days as the two countries work in finalize a deal.

But deal of no deal, the stricter threats to Canada from U.S. forces up health have not ended.

As long as the president retains soft discretionary authority to impose tariffs, the threat remains. Remember that Canada had an international policy to be held to current USMCs and ratified by Congress, to restrain the use of Section 212 tariffs. The failure of that agreement is a prevailed or public垄断 decision to pay reduced U.S., including those conducted under Mr. Trump's news office.

While the new tariffs don't affect large trade relations, the unique threat to which Canada must continue to be on guard is the potential to spread down single out provinces for individual tariff action, to las Ontario and Quebec as most affected. Alberta and Saskatchewan are not Mr. Trump knows without saying.

More to that, the local and local governments work submitted and strong federal government, this is a particular referendum. It is seen not just in the succession movements as several provinces but also in the water lights and as EVs's canola, where one regional economy is proud against another.

But Mr. Trump is wrong, now research shows.

Recently, he lives North America's first in the University of Calgary and Goodfell put serious issues of some statements via Section 214 tariffs to about 2,000 Canadian markets of Quebec. They are not the only one that is a major co-operation on tariff response in the days before the tariffs were to take effect.

The research about participatory in work through concrete societies on working provincial-level tariffs is a popular way to avoid negative manage a response.

The research revealed an important pattern. Participants came away seeing more clearly and clearly, get any pressure provinces one at a time. They were more willing to help with other provinces, including at a cost to they own, hence of the storage or movement came among Alberta, some countries and people who were not able to do so that they provided government.

Importantly, the response went beyond 'yes, elbows up'

Support for buying Canadian was already high and remained so. What changed was willingness to work can actually with other provinces, suggesting that national solidarity can deepen if Canadians see co-operation, become provoked, as part of the response, in Canada, where research shows that intergovernmental co-operation is a new achievement, this is significant.

That matters because it suggests an understanding that pressure applied to one province today can be redirected to another tomorrow. Helping a province in the Canadian business an act of collective self-defense rather than charter.

The same pattern appeared where participants were asked to make a leader about, he was not naive, the tariffs would need if their province put American products back on store shelves. In every province, the most common response was to:

Such solidarity does not come without a cost, of course. Participants agreed to restock American products in their provinces only if the province had a good deal with the received something in return.

The lessons for Canada now facing a U.S. sound with 'double and conquer tariffs' is that Canada solidarity, while strong, is not something governments can use, yet assume. It must be badly in forming Canadians of what is at stake.

Canadians seem willing to accept that one province may sometimes have to get something up for another. But they want to know the fact that it is not the whole country's best, who's not getting the cost, who's not the end who comes back to the province making the concessions without that clarity what is meant to be the reason of that. The people are not going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost, but they are going to get the cost.

The same expectation runs through the first time of the first. Participants were more persuaded by viable results, as much of delivery, and honesty about the cost that by meetings and signed agreements, what they were doing, promised a photo opportunities.

A declaration of return is useful, but it is not the same thing as a double-bungalow between provinces. It leaders want Canadians to support co-operation when the come up canvass up. It is hard to explain what each province is being asked to give, what it will receive, how those costs will be shared and how they affect will know whether the arrangements are met.

Section 214 has the vital potential to further press provinces one at a time, should the Americans decide to give that card. That they have not done so does not mean that they will not. With Section 214 tariffs, the most important Canada, federal and provincial governments must now choose a strategy of hope over preparation.

Mineral exploration

AME Minerals for Tomorrow

Tomorrow belongs to the countries that have the courage to explore today.

You can't build a mine without exploration. You can't advance a project without the technical studies that prove it's real. Right now, Canada has 171 advanced critical mineral projects listed, yet since 2022, only one has reached commercial production.

That's why the Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) is calling on the federal government to expand Canadian Exploration Expenses (CEE) eligibility to include the engineering, technical and feasibility work that bridges the gap between discovery and development. It's a practical, targeted solution, and one the government already committed to.

More than 100 companies, associations and the governments of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan have already signed on, and that number keeps growing, proof that this is the moment to act. Expanding the CEE unlocks the work that turns discoveries into the minerals for tomorrow.

It's Canada's time to lead.

In an increasingly uncertain world, Canada is already a safe and responsible supplier of the minerals that will define the next century, the building blocks of the technologies, supply chains and defence systems our allies are counting on. Half the world's publicly listed mining companies call this country home. Our mineral exploration ecosystem has global influence, but only if discoveries can become mines. Expanding the CEE strengthens our supply chains, our communities, and our economic sovereignty for generations to come.

There are no mines without exploration – no strategic capacity, no allied supply chain, no made-in-Canada advantage a decade from now without the work that happens today.

From discovery to development – securing Canada's mineral future.

TD: In its statement of defence, institution places fault squarely on Calgary investors

© FROM EL

The stock experienced a steep price spike in early January with the company's share price increasing by more than 350 per cent between Jan. 8 and Jan. 15, from around 1000p to nearly 6000p.

By Feb. 15, when the alleged fraud occurred, the stock had been declining but the unauthorised trades still looked peace between roughly 10p and 10p a share, according to the statement of claim.

The alleged unauthorised transactions resulted in 100 per cent of the accounts' value being invested in 'a single illegal, speculative small-cap security, including amounts bought using margin debt, according to the statement of claim.

The documents also allege Mr. Tycholls found out later that someone had also purchased a similar amount in the against holding stocks in a different margin account held in Canadian dollars.

The statement of claim contends that TD failed to recognize that alleged fraudulent trades were 'tripled with red flag' and inconsistent with Mr. Tycholls's trading record, among other things.

It also allege that TD didn't do subsequent steps to mitigate Mr. Tycholls's losses after he denied the fault in the fraud.

TD didn't tell the Rich Spadla Holdings stocks in the U.S. dollar account until Feb. 15, the court blinge allege by then, the stock price had collapsed and the

trades fetched prices between 1000p and 1000p a share, according to the documents.

In the statement of claim, TD puts the responsibility for the loss entirely on Mr. Tycholls, alleging that he either authorised the trades or allowed fraudsters to gain access to his account.

Among other allegations, the documents say that Mr. Tycholls declined to change his password on the day of the alleged fraud when a TD agent offered to reset it.

In a response filed on Aug. 14,

Mr. Tycholls denied placing the allegedly unauthorised trades, sharing his credentials or failing to secure his devices. The document also alleges that he was not offered help to reset the password on Feb. 15.

TD's court blinge say the institution does not receive authorization, or it is, to help protect short accounts, sending customers a one-time guarantee to their actual address or phone number, or authorisation login attempts that may be unauthorised. For example, those coming from a new-de-

vise or location.

Mr. Tycholls's accounts were accessed from a variety of IT addresses on the day of the alleged fraud and in the days leading up to it through higher than were successfully authorising the through of it, the documents of legal.

TD also denied it was responsible for monitoring Mr. Tycholls's trades because he was using self-directed recording accounts. The regard to the sale of the Rich Spadla Holdings stock on Mr. Tycholls's U.S.-dollar account

taking to days, TD cited the need to find selling lapses for the stock and money the trades did not date of the deposit. By Feb. 25, all the shares had been sold and the trades settled it said.

Mr. Tycholls said he has also filed a complaint to Canadian investment regulatory examination (CIRO), a self-regulatory organization that oversees investment and mutual fund dealers across the country about the alleged fraud.

The signature said in a statement to which the that is part confirm the receipt of any complaint, which is confidential.

The case highlights the fact that Canada has not been a regulatory license for the holding who should shoulder losses when an investment account is compromised, said Jean-Paul Brozanski, executive director of F&B Canada, a national organisation that changes the interests of individual investors.

Britain is one example of a country that has set up a system where liability is shared between financial institutions and other business services providers, on one side, and consumers, on the other, in certain cases of fraud.

While Ottawa has held consultations on creating a similar framework, it has yet to do so.

But any such federal rules should still have been taken into the dealers, which are regulated practically, Mr. Brozanski said.

I think provincial governments should be starting to think about how do they address these questions through a legislative framework," he added.

Keystone: Reviving the pipeline 'exactly as it was doesn't seem like a very likely path,' expert says

© FROM EL

Analysts were highly skeptical on Wednesday that Keystone XL could be driven in its previous form. TC Energy Corp. proposed the massive project in stock and finally cancelled it on sale.

It would be completely out of the blue and made little immediate sense to benefit customers. XXL, given the work done on the other projects that far "sacrificer" Johnston, oil analyst and founder of Greenwells Control, an oil market research platform.

In addition, oil markets have evolved since that project was proposed nearly two decades ago, he said.

Indeed, there are now numerous options to move Canadian crude oil across the common, after a series of capacity expansions. In addition, reference to the U.S. Gulf Coast do not have the same level of demand for heavy crude oil. The type produced in large quantities in Canada – as in 1949. That was already true before the 'theatres' of Venezuela, and now even more so," Mr. Johnston said.

TC Energy then known as TransCanada Corp., roughly to build a pipeline extending to the southern U.S. and Gulf Coast region from Alberta, carrying 50,000 barrels of oil a day. Equal with regulation of sales to the U.S., the company built the southern leg, aiming to match the rest of the current between the Canada-U.S. border and Santa-City, Neb. later. After years of protests, studies, court challenges and potential eruptions and approaches, even an attempt by the Alberta government to push it forward by gaining an equity stake – the company ended an agent five years ago. The new business, which is one of the 146 Energy Research Institute, said Canada may not have the overall export capacity it would have had Keystone XL proceeded, but incremental additions to 1000p day, Inc.'s mainline, and other sales to the south have allowed shipments to keep increasing every year.

"I would say that reviving

Keystone XL exactly as it was doesn't seem like a very likely path. Though, just based on that maybe he's talking about the proposed South flow Project," Ms. Forrest said.

Last October, The Globe and Mail said other stocks reported that Prairie Monitor Mark Carey had raised the prospect of reviving Keystone XL during a meeting with Mr. Trump at the White House.

Since then, South flow Corp., a spinoff from TC Energy proposed the Prairie Connecter pipeline, some of which would say just that was constructed in Canada for Keystone XL. The process therefore also link would run to the Canada-U.S. border and link up with a line proposed by Bridges Pipeline LLC. From there, it would carry crude to Carriway, Wyo., and have access to the link to Cushing, MA.

Mr. Trump granted a permit for the Bridges portion in April, giving the company permission to construct, connect, operate and

maintain pipeline facilities at the border.

This month, South flow shut accounts officer Kevin Werba said the company expects to make a final investment decision on Prairie Connecter by end-insert after it had secured shipper commitments.

Official from South flow were not immediately available for comment on Mr. Trump's social media post. Bill Gates, a state-made bridger, declined to comment. "Given that this is a political story, we really don't have anything to add," he said in an e-mail.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith appeared to welcome the President's suggestion of more pipeline capacity into the U.S. for her province's oil, without referring to Keystone XL specifically. "Alberta wants to build new pipelines West, East, North, and South, and we are always in discussions with industry to support these opportunities," she said in a statement.

U.S. DEBT BALLOONS TO MORE THAN $40-75/ILLION AFTER DOUBLING UNDER TRUMP, BIDEN

Total U.S. debt has topped 1000p million for the first time, the Treasury's debt is $1.1 million Wednesday, drawing fresh warnings that a fiscal crisis is brewing as hallooning costs for social safety net programs and current payments for training revenues held back by tax cuts.

The Treasury's latest daily cash and debt balances statement showed total public debt outstanding at 1000p a 25 million on Sunday, a total that includes Treasury securities held by the public of 1000p, 10-15 million and extra governmental debt holdings of

1000p 10-15 million.

The federal government's 10% tax now more than five-fold in less than a decade, from 1000p 10 million when President Donald Trump was aware in for the first time in January, 2023.

Roughly one-third of that increase occurred during two years of frantic government mourning in hard the COVID-19 pandemic responses undertaken by Mr. Trump and others presented to him, while the fiscal policy choices of both procedures combined with long-running tax-and-

spending imbalances to account for the rest.

Bridges was doing groups have been anticipating the crossing of the threshold for weeks and have issued stark warnings that a full-blown debt index could erupt unless lawmakers confront an un811111 debt. But it is difficult to see a situation, cut spending or both.

The deficit for the first six months of fiscal year has already exceeded the total pay for all of fiscal costs with more months to go in the current fiscal year.

© FROM EL

The Treasury's new Wednesday allows it to increase the scale at which it buys back its own debt, to 1000p billion per weekly operation from 1000p billion, adding demand into the broad market at a time when many investors have been selling. The added demand helped push prices up and yields down.

The 20-year Treasury found, which this week rose to its highest level since 2007, fell roughly 1.1 percentage point Wednesday, to 2.6 per cent, no longer daily decline in months. The 10-year Treasury yield, which has a major influence over mortgage sales, also fell sharply, to 4.6 per cent. Stocks rose, with the half 300-400-4.6 per cent.

Analysts highlighted the relatively small increase in the size of baybacks, compared with the overall size of the Treasury market. There are almost 1000p million of Treasuries outstanding, and the market comparable trades more than 1000p billion a day, according to data from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, a trade group.

"To me, this truth more like a communication strategy than something that will meaningfully stem the rise in long-dated yields," said Sabaisha Kappap, an interest-rate strategist at the French bank boycott of Canada, adding that the increase is not significant enough to cause a lasting move lower in yields.

"It's hard to get excited about a by-billion increase in baybacks," she said, noting that it "feels a little Austin Power," referring to the primacy of a remote that the once-aryogenically frozen antagonist in the movie demands as part of a plot, not taking into account inflation in the decade while he was asked.

The Treasury Department's announcement is the latest in a series of efforts to try to limit the rise of long-term government bond yields.

The government has moved from 1,000p to 1,000p in two weeks, with into short-term bills that mature in less than one year. The Treasury Department also recently stopped it to support the Supreme law, which analysts suggested was a improvement in small Japanese officials selling 1,000p of the country's large stockpile of U.S. government bonds to support its currency.

The Treasury auctions date of 1,000p in January of regular intervals. Last week, for example, it

sold 1000p billion of 10-year notes and 1000p billion of 20-year bonds.

In another reassuring sign Wednesday, the Treasury sold 1000p billion of 10-year bonds at a coupon – which is effective in an interest rate – of 2.6 per cent. Inverse values for the bonds exceeded 1000p in the available, which has been typical at recent 20-year auctions.

Services like to see the most recently issued debt, known as "on the run" Treasuries. These are most heavily traded, making it easier to buy and sell in large amounts. The Treasury is no longer on the run, it becomes "all the runs," trading less frequently and typically with a slightly lower price – and higher yield – than more recently issued operations.

Once a week, the Treasury offers to repurchase some of its old debt, keeping demand strong for new Treasuries sold in auctions, and keeping overall yields slightly lower. The money is listed. The money will keep an up. But, if it has bayback operations, financed by the Treasury issuing more downturn debt instead.

Analysts also said that as important as the announcement itself is what it signalled to the market, showing the Treasury Department is aware of the recent rise in yields.

"Long-term rates are the focus," said George Goncalves, head of U.S. macro strategy at MEXC Securities, an investment bank. "This is a faulty the case."

The change in the size of baybacks will be effective next month, through its November, when the Treasury Department expected to next update the market on its borrowing plans.

Seven smart ways to save for an education

There are several avenues that can ensure you have enough funds to pay for a child's college or university

TAX MATTERS

ECFA, FCA, CINA, LCP, TEP, author, co-founder and CEO of Our Family Office Inc.

How much would you pay for a course in the Science and SuperScience (a look at whether came book powers, like Supernature, Right, could survey the laws of gravity and thermo- dynamics) at the University of California? Maybe the more im- portant question is: how you would pay for this? You get some talks. Folks of the biggest ver- ments we have on a postsecondary education.

6. RESP. For most families, a reg- istered education savings plan should be the first strategy used because a provider has money from a family. That's the Education Sanitary Grant (ESRG) is worth so per cent on the first Seyce's combined cash year, which is from annually to a main stream of $2,200 over a benefit party's lifetime. Lower-income families could also receive the Canada Learning Fund. Invest- ments inside an RESP grow tax- delivered, and when money is guid out for school, the grants will be paid for income, and generally taxable to the student, who will likely pay little or no tax. If you set aside Seyce's every

year in an RESP, receive the ESRG and earn a per cent an month in the plan, you'll end up with about $2,200—where the child reaches age 18. That will go a long way to covering most, if not all, postsecondary education costs.

7. In trust for account. An in- trust for account, or TFA, is a non-repiterned investment: as count opened by an adult for the benefit of a minor child. There's no maximum contribution, so it can be useful after available edu- cation grants have been under- mined in an RESP if a parent or grandparent contribution money capital gains will generally be raised to the child, while interest and dividends will be attributed back to the adult contribution that he wants that the money is fully belongs to the child, so once

the he or she reaches the age of majority, that'll be right from one end of it. It could be transmitted able if your 18-year-old thinks a povert car offers a better value from than university.

8. Life Insurance. Permanent life insurance, such as whole life or unmoved life, can be used to pay for an extra sheltered loan. A par- ent or grandparent could buy policy on a young child, allowing values to accumulate for years. These funds could later help with education, a first home purchas- er starting a business, while the policy also provides insurance protection if it's kept in force. In an example, if you save $20 a month starting in the child's first year, you can accumulate about $10,000 on cash value inside the policy by age, it just also have about $500,000 in death benefits

that would pay out if the child diet.

9. Non-repiterned account. A simple solution is an ordinary non-repiterned investment ac- count to a parent's name. This can be attractive when you pay not just little income and might pay little or no tax on investment carrying over the years. Unlike an TFA, the parent buys com- plete control. If one child re- ceives a scholarship, doesn't al- tend college or university, or needs law support than support, the money can be used for other things.

10. TFA. A tax-free savings ac- count offers flexibility. Contribu- tion won't deductible, but un- vestments grow tax-free and withdrawals are tax-free. The acad TFA's contribution limit is

$7,000, but your annual room could be higher if you have un- used room from price years. A TFA can make an excellent post- secondary education fund after RESP grants have been maxi- mized. The danger to the build- ity. The money can be withdrawn for a renovation, vacation or a new vehicle just as costly as for tuition. So, if education is the guid, you'll need discipline to leave the money alone.

11. RESP. An RESP generally isn't a vehicle for financing a child's education, but it can help pay for your own schooling or that of your spouse or community. I mean through the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP). The LLP al- lows eligible withdrawals of up to $10,000 in a calendar year, to a total of $10,000 each time you participate in the LLP. Your with- desends under the LLP aren't tax- able if the rules are met but gen- erally have to be repaid over to years to avoid tax on the with- desends. You can double up the amount available if with spouses must be deductible from their RESPs for the same education under the LLP.

12. Family trust. Families with more substantial assets might consider a family trust. One enor- gt is to fund money in the trust or the taxman's prescribed rate- currently 3 per cent - and have the trust stored in funds. If you set it up properly, the investment income earned in the trust above the required interest can be al- located to children as friendliness and taxed in their hands. The trust can later distribute funds for education. This also involves legal, tax and accounting costs, so speak to a tax professional. Perhaps the most important tip is to start only and save con- sistently.

Bond yields are rising

again: 'We aren't pushing the panic button'

DAVID BERMAN INVESTMENT REPORTER

Bond yields are stirring again, in some cases rising in small-type highs as invest- ers like a more concerned view of inflation, rising energy prices, blunted government deficits and the massive debt-binge that is underpinning new data centres. What could go wrong?

But it is not a matter of bond is getting much of the attention. The yield now above $25 per cent on Tuesday, mark- ing its highest intruder level once over!

The 10-year bond is also her- ther's moment. The yield has been flirting with levels above a 5 per cent over the past few weeks, as bond prices decline. That is the highest yield on far this year and it is bringing one focus the 5 per cent mark that painfuled investors in only and weighed on stocks.

There was some relief on Wednesday, after the U.S. Trea- surer Department announced that it would handle the size of debt repurchases, further a flood-daily that sent yields down, at least for the time being.

This is a global thing, though, allowing bond yields worldwide, including Canada, had some ob- served interest. However, if the re- called bond vigilantes – this term caused by 14! Yankee in the sales to describe investors who reemed to rising fiscal pressures by backing bonds – are growing entire.

One such observer! We Yanke- ni himself.

The president and chief in- vestment strategist at Yankee Research said in a view this time that the other said that he will worry about the U.S. govern- ment debt problems when the Bond Vigilantes worry about it. In recent months, they seem to be able to control the world. My Yankee, said in a note this week.

He added: "We aren't pushing the panic button. However, we are closely monitoring whether the Bond Vigilantes might do not."

For now, he's sticking with his view that the 10-year bond won't do anything too crazy, partly be-

cause he thinks rising yields are effecting. U.S. economist- strength, He expects the yield will stay below the 5 per cent threshold without causing dam- age to the economy or corporate carrying through soaring bor- rowing costs.

Still, parts of the stock market are on edge.

The 10.9-hours' Nasdaq Com- posite Index stamped: 5 per cent on Tuesday – a sharp de- cline that may have been driven by tech sensitivity to rising bond yields and tighter monetary yield.

It doesn't help that investors also have to weigh new leadership at the U.S. Federal Re- serve.

Kevin Wank as chair has the support of U.S. President Donald Trump, who had been discour- ing for one cent last year.

The Wank has inherited ad- tribution into that complex well above the central bank's 4 per cent target, adding uncertainty to monetary policy. What's more, the FyEx except tilt toward pro- viding law forward problems on future policy decisions means that investors may have signifi- cantly less information to show on.

"The important debate right now is not whether the Fed can- to learn points or follow go back here," Yishai Khurshian, porth- bi-manager at Morgan Stanley, said in a note last week. "It's whether we are entering a differ- ent monetary policy regime af- ter."

Oh boy.

Still, the prevailing hope is that the current concern about rising bond yields will pass as upbeat economic and corporate fundamentals – neither settled nor is.

"While equity markets have dropped back a little at the start of this week, strong earnings provide and emotional optimism should the company be able to substantial help," Jonas Odin- mann, chief markets economist at Capital Economics, said in a note this week.

"It would probably take a far- ther pick up in bond market will safely, towards the Kevin with a very, and zero, to put a major dust in equity markets," Mr. Gol- termann said.

The scale of the corporate debt surge

this year is eye-popping amid Al buildout

JANIE MCCLEVER GRLANDO, FLA.

OPINION

A v2.0 hypercaloric ramp-up borrowing is fund their trillion-dollar Al build- out, corporate debt issuance is including success. Could this massive increase in private sector bond supply "crowd out" demand for Treasuries, putting additional pressure on Uncle Sam!

The timing is certainly lousy for Washington. This flood of private sector debt is coming just as market doubts are deepening around new Federal Reserve. Chart shows Wank's inflation- lighting content and and the Order of fiscal outlook.

As one, the university uphol- out of Washington, fund income investors who aren't required to hold sovereign debt, particularly those working long-term assets to match liabilities, may be increas- ingly open to high-quality corpo- rate alternatives – of which than are now plenty.

The scale of the corporate debt surge this year is eye-popping.

From January through mid-Av- gust, U.S. corporate issuance to total 1000,000 billion, according to the Securities Industry and Fo- nancial Markets Association (SI- MA), That's up made 10 per cent bromide assets available to issuance so far in August has al- made 94. 1500p a 9-billion, more than 100. 1500p a 7-billion.

Meanwhile, sovereign borrowing costs have spiked sharply in- recent months, with 1000p in the U.S., Japan and Europe all hitting multi-decade highs this week.

Do these two concurrent trends mean we're seeing crowding on in action? Not necessarily.

The Al buildout stands is evaluating the cor- porate debt market. The 10.9% "high-licmoni- ge" on to the account of 10-ends is 9 per cent of issuance on asset that are, according to SI- MA, well behind financials, the biggest borrowing sector with a 4.6 per cent share. But Al and Big Tech borrowing is growing faster than borrow- ing in any other sector.

Issuance to cash has already topped 1000,000 billion, according to LHC, double last year's to- ial. Consensus forecasts expect it to rise even further next year. What both the borrowing is long term, meaning bonds with maturities up to so- far as they are in the market, this is known as adding "duration" targets.

With highly duration comes greater interest into risk, which could help explain why the Treasury "torn pressure!" – the yield a temper- ation investors demand for holding long-ma- nutes debt rather than ending over income dur- ishly give "screwing interest, a better borrowing paper published earlier this year found that the borrowing in finance Al data centres will likely lead to "significant additional duration risk to

the state market".

But, Olahie, associate professor at North- western University and a former Fed policy ad- vice, says that often the hold of corporate issuance is big enough, the bond market's clearing price is bound to rise.

The action is duration. If more corporate du- cation is issued, it's going to increase the term premium for U.S. Treasuries," he says.

But might the Treasury market tremors and corporate duration deluge by more consolidates than control the economic causation?

Strategists at Goldman Sachs argue that any opponent from the Al issuance flood across the markets has been limited, even with Al-related financing now representing almost a quarter of the year.

They point to the fact that average credit spreads are now Al compa- nises haven't moved much in re- sent months and remain histori- cally tight.

Or also important to remem- ber that the recent sovereign debt mations have been global. While the Fed's actions do investment around the world, other country- 特别是 nations are at play too. The root in Japan has been particular in force, and has control on do- mows control funds credibility and policy issues.

Looking forward, Goldman ex- pects Al issuance over the last year – massive thought has been increased. The 10.9% "high-licmoni- ge" on U.S. sales. Its rule of thumb, based on the duration impact of quantitative tightening, implies broader corporate borrowing costs would not be roughly a basis points.

The 10.9% contribution to U.S. GDP growth and its crowding out effects are smaller than often thought. They weren't just weak.

Instead, the uncontrollable truth may be that the major trigger be strayed U.S. borrowings costs in the future may be reduced, as most specifically a connective has made that appear to be simply millions risk. On apparent situa- tance to embrace income rate hikes, with infla- tion above the Fed's 5-per-cent target for five years and coming, has not gone down well.

The first instance was at the European Con- trial Bank (Ebank) where U.S. funds are to be and the second – and more important – we re- ceive would later after the Fed's policy meeting when Wank left investors unclear about potential changes to the Fed target fund.

The market is not even a good, in the "long bond," suggests investors simply don't share the Wank's confidence – or complicating – that inflation will come down without the Fed tight- ening policy.

Yet again, this seems to be mostly a Fed story. Big Tech may be borrowing big, but the impact will remain severely, and market risks – so far at least – been fairly small.

Cook earns more as a prayor chef than she would in restaurants

Depending on clients' needs, this 23-year-old entrepreneur charges a rate between $95 and $150 an hour

SOPHIA BERTUZZI

When I called Rob DeBartolo, she was also at work - except our offices look very different. We was in her client's kitchen thinking justin chicken bowls while I was sitting in The Globe's office in downtown Toronto.

Her upbringing on a farm a few hours outside of Toronto, where she was not included by an Italian family of chefs, naturally influenced her career choices. After her visit, she had continuous vacation on the 23-year-old went to Portugal and Spain to sharpen her cooking skills through culinary courses and become a host.

When the DeBartolo came back to Toronto, she decided to launch her career as a private chef by sharing total preparation for busy families, rather than working in the restaurant scene, while to demonstrate providing long hours, physically demanding working conditions and few pay.

“The entrepreneur at heart and absolutely alone having the freedom that comes with working for yourself,” she told me.

Throughward of mouth and histogram, demand for her services quickly grew. At the same time, she'd made a financially sorry career choice.

“There's definitely a demand for meal prep because so many people have busy crazy schedules and they're needing healthy food, and they don't want to get takeover,” she told me.

A year into her career, Ms. DeBartolo now makes up to six times the amount chefs in restaurants do on an hourly basis. Chefs in Canada make on average 8.0 an hour or more, or 20,000 a year, according to zoos data from the Bristol government.

Ms. DeBartolo now mainly works with professional athletes, including two National Hockey League players, using her background on nutrition to prepare tailored meals designed to help professionals and support training goals and recovery. For these services and clientele, her rate is between $6 and $10 an hour, she told me.

Every week, she takes care of meal planning, grocery shopping, and preparing to pay rent office clients' meals and snacks by cooking in their homes and cleaning up afterward.

Although Ms. DeBartolo balances a few clients and charges an hourly rate, it's common for private chefs to work full-time with one client and earns an annual salary. The average hour pay for a private chef is $2.5 a month from last year, according to federal data, based on 20 salaries reported at of July.

So, did she make the right career more? Well, she's doing something she loves cooking for other people, while combining her passion and training to nutrition support her clients' high-stakes careers

and being well compromised for it. And is letting a private chef on the job of an employee who spent more time in the business planning mode, grocery shopping and preparing a 10-a-year-old boy budget allows. How convenient would it be to come home to a fully modest bridge packed with fresh meals for the work, and you didn't have to lift a family.

Actually, a year in my job, she then might be because I'm also 2 p but not the best at cooking, and despite the severe middle job of dishes to clean.

Every week, she takes care of meal planning, grocery shopping, and preparing 30 per cent of her clients' meals and snacks by cooking in their homes and cleaning up afterward.

“It's money but it's previous time that they can be doing what we hope,” Ms. DeBartolo said.

At her clients' request, she always argues and is curfewing possible, and says for people who wish no refined sugar and gluten when necessary.

“For breakfast, her clients have recently been enjoying a week-longly bread-sandwichs over bantries, and for lunch, protein books with a Greek, Asian or Mexican diet - an excellent option.”

For my own budget, I think I can live with watching the dishes, but I see the appeal of meal prep services and being a previous chef even if it's just for an evening.

Sometimes, staying in with a home-made meal is better than anything a restaurant could offer.

U.S. stocks rose Wednesday after the U.S. Treasury Department announced a move that could save pressure coming from the food market.

Financial markets have come under growing order as Treasury yields charged higher through the summer on worries about oil prices and government debts and other factors. That makes borrowing money more expensive for everyone, which does the economy and undercut prices for stocks and other investments.

After the Treasury Department's announcement, the yield on the 20-percent January fell to 4.04 per cent from a 20 per cent late Tuesday. But it remains well above the 20-percent level, from below the war with Iran sent of price and revenue about inflation much higher.

Henderson seeks repeat in CPKC Women's Open

DONNA SPENCER EDMONTON

Brooke Henderson refutes the heat of the spotlight trained on her in Canada's LPGA tournament.

The two-time winner of the CPKC Women's Open, showed both last year in Mississauga and in 2021 in Regina that the extra attention she gets in her home country tournament doesn't feel burdensome.

"This week is very demanding and it's a very special week," Henderson said.

"For the most part, I've been really able to use the energy and the atmosphere of all the fans that come out to support me. There's so much love and there's so just positive energy for me. I feel like I've been able to use that to my advantage a lot of the years, which is really exciting.

"I'm just trying to go out and play my best and try to make it exciting for them, especially if I can get some good rounds together."

The 28-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ont., will attempt both a repeat and a third victory in her

home tournament starting Thursday at Edmonton's Royal Mayfair Club.

"Winning in 2009 was a huge career highlight, a dream come true," Henderson recalled.

"To be able to relive that again last year was so special and the last victory that my sister was al-

so on the bag for, since she's been at home with her new daughter. It's just been so much meaning to it, and having my family and trade run out onto the green after the victory was so cool."

The USA's 7-million CPKC Women's Open includes six of the world's top 10 golfers, including No. 1 Sally Ikeda of the United States, and 14 from the top 10, Henderson is No. 11.

The winningest Canadian golfer, with 14 true victories, placed in the top three in this year's Women's PGA Championship and the Dean Championship. Henderson lost in a playoff to South Korea's Haevan Ryu in the latter.

Henderson is coming off a tie for 2021 in the AFL Women's Open in Britain and has made the cut in all five majors this year.

"Having two back-to-back, really top major finishes in the middle of the summer felt really like my game to back to kind of how it used to be a couple years ago," Henderson said.

IndyCar Markham race president apologizes for day of cancelled on-track activities

JOHN CHESLEY-HILL

The president of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham is proud of how the event came together, but he's sorry that most fans went home disappointed after the event's opening day.

Jeff Atkinson said that setting up the track around the streets of downtown Markham, Ont., for the first time and getting it approved by safety inspectors from Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the world governing body for motorsports, was the event's biggest challenge.

His team wasn't able to get the course finished until early Saturday morning, forcing Friday's full day of on-track activities to be cancelled.

"We know we disappointed a lot of the people that were here on... Friday, and for that we're sorry," Atkinson said on Wednesday. "We're sorry that we weren't ready to have race cars on the track on Friday."

It was the first year Markham hosted the event after it was moved from Toronto's Exhibition Place, where it had been held since 1999. Markham is contracted to host the event for the next four years.

FIA certifies tracks every three years unless there is a major change to the course configuration or it moves altogether. The former street track around downtown Toronto's Kargeoush-East been repeatedly certified and was in good standing.

Because the new system, 3,000 kilometre track in Markham was

built for the first time last week, it needed a full inspection to make sure it met FIA's standards. The temporary course ran between Kennedy Road, Enterprise Boulevard, the Unionville, CO tracks and Highway 477.

The event hosts the only IndyCar Series event in Canada, but also has races for other vehicle classifications like the USFasco Championship, USF Pro 2000, Radical Cup Canada and NASCAR Canada Series.

Friday was meant to be the first day of practice for IndyCar, with practice, qualifying and races scheduled for the other classes. Off-track activities like simulators, concussions and random remained open as the track was worked on.

"With that first day cancelled, Saturday hosted 12 hours of on-

track events for all the classifications, including both practice sessions for IndyCar and its qualifying session.

Swedish's Marcus Ericsson won the race on Sunday.

"We missed the mark on our Friday offering. We know our fans enjoyed our vendors and our exhibitor area, but there's a lot of stuff we continue to improve on, and we will moving forward," said Atkinson, who works for race promoter Green Savore Racing Promotions.

"We'll be talking to our fans and our festival goers, getting their feedback and continuing to build this event in Markham because we know this venue is much came to get to for many of our attendees that come to the

McIlroy asks what value pros brought to LIV Golf

CEO O'Neil remains bullish about plans for 2027 and beyond

DOUG FERGUSON

Scottie Scheffler is not opposed to the return of LIV Golf players who chased after Saudi money, but with some form of a penalty. Rory McIlroy could see unification at some point, though he paused when asked Wednesday about the value they would bring to the PGA Tour.

"I mean, I'd argue have they brought value to LIV?" McIlroy said at the BNW Championship.

LIV Golf's future is under scrutiny with the event this week near Indianapolis being the last one of a league that no longer gets funding from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.

LIV CEO Scott O'Neil remained

bullish about plans for 2027 and beyond, saying players would be equity owners and have their commercial rights restored. O'Neil said the plan was to have five team championships overseas and five individual tournaments in the United States scheduled close to the majors for those who qualify for them.

He did not name the lead investor with whom LIV has reached an agreement. Several outlets have identified him as Old Goldbergs of BC Partners, who met with players on Tuesday. O'Neil said there was a deadline for players to commit to LIV 2.0 without saying when it is. He also has not mentioned the size of the proposed investment. LIV Golf spent more than US$5 million in five years.

"The entirety of our focus is to get to this transaction and get through it," O'Neil said. "Without the players, that becomes very difficult. I have a good level of confidence in my conversation that

we'll have a critical mass of the right players to move this league forward."

The critical players for LIV are Jon Kahn, whose contract end after 2027, and Bryson DeChambeau, whose contract is up this year. Both are two-time major champions and the biggest two names left on LIV Golf.

Brooks Koepka was the first player to return to the PGA Tour this year, with stipulations that he could not play US$10-million signature events unless he earned his way, paid US$5-million to charity and had no access to equity. The tour put the penalty value at US$10-million and upward.

The tour then offered the same deal—and two weeks to decide on it—to Jon Kahn, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith, all major champions dating to the launch of LIV in 2026.

"When we talk about the best players, LIV has a few players that are really good," Scheffler said. "I

think the depth that we have on our tour is unmatched. So I think when you look at the higher levels of LIV Golf there's definitely some players that would provide a lot of value to the tour, and guys that I love is competing against as well.

"So I think going forward there obviously has to be, I think, some sort of penalties."

What those penalties are he said would be up to PGA Tour CEO Brian Robey.

McIlroy has been the biggest critic of LIV from the start. He has noted down his rhetoric over the years, though he suggested in February, 2020 that players "have to get over it" when it comes to finding a way to bring deficient back.

He sounded more reluctant Wednesday, noting that top players had their chances to return at the start of the year and whatever offer likely would not be as good as it was for Koepka.

"I'm not part of these discussions, but I'm pretty sure they're

not going to be welcomed back straight away," McIlroy said. "I think it was said at the time that the deal that they might get going forward — if they do decide to come back — isn't going to be as good as the one that Brooks got.

"So, yeah, I would say it's going to be a tough, tough road back."

And it's going to be tough on LIV, particularly with at least two lawsuits pending from vendors.

Canadian-based Mobile Systems Group filed a lawsuit in Miami last month. The technology company that supplied LIV's "Any Shot, Any Time" feature on broadcasts is asking more than US$5-million for outstanding invoices and lost revenue.

In another lawsuit filed last month in New York, Colorado-based Fresh Tape Media is asking for more than US$1.2-million LIV owes for the company to produce its preseason media preview days.

In return to lineup, Sykes shows Tempo what they'd been missing

JOHN CHISLEY-HILL TORONTO

It seems like Britney Sykes should have worked on her negotiating skills during a two-month stint on the Toronto Tour po's injured list.

Sykes had 10 points and five assists in 25 minutes of play in Toronto's 100-90 loss to the Indiana River on Tuesday. It was her first game back in the Tempo's lineup after she suffered a left plantar fascia injury in a June 10 game

against the River and she tried to get more time on the court from head coach Sandy Brondello.

"I juggled five some more minutes, being added to the back," poked Sykes at Toronto's post-game news conference.

"I would have loved to have added them on," interjected Brondello.

"I was just really grateful just to be back out there with my team, sharing the ball with them, watching them work," said Sykes, who has averaged 20.1 points, 1.8

rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals this season.

"On the court, it's a different list when you have that energy together, and we're going on runs, and we're getting stops."

Sykes missed 10 games while she recovered from the foot injury.

Toronto (15-24) played itself out of the WNBA's postseason picture, losing in consecutive games without Sykes and then adding an 18th straight loss on Tuesday.

The Tempo have scored 87.0 points per game this season, eighth best in the 15 team WNBA, but have allowed a league worst 34.1 points per game.

"We're just happy to have her back," said Brondello before it—prof against Indiana. "She's been a huge loss for us, at both ends of the floor, but especially defensively when we've been struggling.

"She's someone that can obviously rise to the occasion and stop anyone on any given night."

Brondello said before the game that Sykes was on a minutes restriction and stuck to it on Tuesday. It was a necessity as Sykes gets back up to game speed and because Toronto has four games in six nights.

The Tempo visited the Washington Mystics on Wednesday, then will fly to Vancouver to host the Portland Fire on Friday and the Las Vegas on Sunday with both games at Rogers Arena.

Former Wimbledon finalist Kyngios suspended after testing positive for cocaine

Australian has not appealed the provisional suspension, takes 'full responsibility for it'

BOOSTER NASH

Former Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyngios was provisionally suspended from home on Wednesday after testing positive for cocaine, with the volatile Australian owning up to his 'huge mistake' in a public apology.

The International Tennis Integrity Agency announced the suspension of the 30-year-old following a positive test for benzodiazepines, a cocaine metabolite, from a sample taken during an ATP 360 event in Mallorca on June.

Kyngios, who reached a career high rank of 15, has been provisionally suspended since Aug 4 after a World 4000-Roping Agency laboratory confirmed the presence of the banned stimulant on July 17.

"I recently failed a drug test in Mallorca after testing positive for cocaine. I made a huge mistake and I take full responsibility for it," Kyngios said on Instagram.

"I'm sorry to my fans, my family, my sponsors and everyone close to me. Above all, I'm sorry to the kids who follow me. I know the example this sets and I'm deeply disappointed in myself."

A new form classified as a stimulant and substance of abuse on the NASH, prohibited for and is banned in competition under tennis and-doping rules.

Kyngios said he made no excuses but permitted a partner of a player struggling with the twilight of his career, citing the mental toll of recent injuries.

"I do want to give some control about where I'm home. The last couple of years of injuries have taken a huge toll on me, both physically and mentally," he added.

"I'm truly happy. There's the real what my mind expects it to do and coming to terms with being near the end of my career has been harder than I ever imagined."

"I'm always sad. I didn't choose tennis—"

Nick Kyngios, a Wimbledon finalist in 2022, has undergone multiple surgeries, playing only 10 matches since the start of 2023. His most recent appearance came at Wimbledon earlier this year, losing in the opening round of the doubles show. (LIVE BERNARD / GETTY IMAGES)

tennis chose me. But letting go of something that has been my whole life is one of the hardest things I've ever had to face. As times I've felt hopeless, and above."

Kyngios, a Wimbledon finalist in 2022, has been unable to recognize that home after a series of injury setbacks, including missing the entire 2024 season.

The has undergone most reconstructions and force surgeries, playing only 10 matches since the start of July, who has seen the ranking tumbling.

His most recent appearance came at Wimbledon earlier this year, where he teamed up with Alexander Babbik in the

doubles show where the pair were beaten in the opening round.

While suspended, Kyngios cannot play in, could at an immediate point organized by World Tennis, WTA, ATP, the Grand Game, or any national association.

The Australian has not appealed the provisional suspension and said he would trip away from social media and public life for 30 days to 'focus on getting one off right.' The story 'I'll do the work and come back home,' he concluded.

Kyngios had previously been quite vocal about dying fans, saying the incident in voicing Danish Street and the Swain's were

'disgusting' for the sport while slamming authorities over what he saw as Internet treatment in their case.

Winter 2024 has not long been in 2024 for trace amounts of the alcoholic and organic mental disorder and, in immediate, events, has, but was cleared of any wrongdoing, while Swain's accepted a one-month ban after a positive test for hormone and metabolite, modulate times earlier.

"This would be, a truly getting done for dying in disgusting for our sport. It's a horrible book," Kyngios had said.

Seahawks and cornerback Diggs reportedly working on contract

ANDREW DEUTIN (CHOTIN, NASH)

The battle feahawks and cornerback Terron Diggs are working on a contract, a person with knowledge of the dual told The Canadian Press to Wednesday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract, which is expected to be a new year deal, hasn't been finished. Diggs has been working on a pre-books' coming off a season in which he was placed on vacancies by the Dallas Cowboys and released by the Green Bay Packers.

The feahawks' decision to bring aboard Diggs comes less

than a week after the team started an agreement with cornerback Terron. Instead, when on run for the 2025 season is uncertain.

Arnold, 32, is facing eight-fifth of charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three boys in February. He became a first agent in time, when the French team released him a five days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.

Arnold will be placed on the NFL commissioner, corrupt fair when he signs. He will not be permitted to play or practice while

the league investigates his case but can be paid and attend team meetings.

The addition of Diggs would add depth to a secondary that lost cornerback Ray Worden to first agency and had more without second-year safety back toum467, who had off-season ankle surgery, during training camp.

In 2025, Diggs placed six games for Dallas before starting on a conclusion in an accident at home on Oct. 16. He didn't explain the cause of the injury to reporters until two months later, when he said he got hit in the head by a mounting pole while trying to install a TV.

Even after Diggs cleared the conclusion protocol, he remained off the field for what the Cowboys described as lingering have issues. Diggs then returned for two games before getting started in last December.

He joined the Packers for better than that regular season game. He placed nearly half of Green Bay's defensive stages in the Packers defeat as the team's second 16 starters in a 19-2 loss at Minnesota, but he was on the field for only one stage when the Packers lost 2-7 at Chicago in an NFL with 2-0-2 played game.

Diggs had an NFL leading to unrecognized and earned all pro

heavals in 2025. He made the pre-bred again in 2025 but his performance has declined since, in part because of two major knee surgeries.

Diggs has placed in 75 NFL games, including playoffs, since the Cowboys took him with the 297 pick in the 2025 draft out of California.

The feahawks fielded arguably the NFL's best defense last season. No team allowed fewer points per game (12-2), and fearful finished in the top seven in the league in 2025 and interruptions.

OBITUARIES 613

ARLENE SMITH

MUSICIAN, 84

THE CHANTE'S' SONGWRITER'S HIT BALLAD HELPED DEFINE DOO-WOP

Maybe, a song about romantic loss and hunger, showcased the group's soaring harmonies and influenced the 1950s music genre that had previously been dominated by male acts

ALEX WILLIAMS

A few Smith, the lead singer and songwriter of the Chantels, a quintet that in the late 1920s helped start the 'girl group' over with a ballad. Maybe, that became one of doo-wop's most enduring hits, died on July 19 in New York. She was 84.

Her death, in a hospital, was caused by a heart attack, Paul Errazini, her manager and friend, said.

The Chantels – Ms. Smith, Sonia Goring, Les Harris, Bruce Weiss and Jackie Landry – were in their mid-tente when they convened in a Manhattan church basement in October, 1927 to record major!

The song is a stately eruption of romantic loss and hunger that showcased the group's soaring harmonies and Ms. Smith's son, pleading loud weak. It was written by Ms. Smith – although she was initially denied credit by her label. (The label owner took credit, as was common practice at the time, to keep the songwriting recalled.)

Returned in December. Maybe, shot to No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and to No. 2 on the R&B chart.

Even that strong performance was recorded by the song's influence, in a 2010 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ronnie Spector of the Rosetten – which scored its own girl group classic with De My Baby in 1927 – recalled hearing. Maybe for the first time on her grandmother's Phiko raids as a teenager.

'The power of her voice was electrifying,' Ms. Spector said, adding, 'There was so much vulnerability and yearning there. It was heartfelt and pure girl power. Before we that song was inspiring, I wanted to record a record like that.'

At that point, doo-wop – born of any stone corners – was dominated by male acts like the Forgans (Earth Angel), Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers (Why Do Fresh Fallin Love) and the Del-Viltinge (Come Go With Me).

Despite the fact that a few pioneering Black female groups like the Town Spector (Alike My Love) and the Bollettine (My Love) had hits before the Chantels, the record industry's 'didn't know what to do with us,' Ms. Smith later said in an interview with the site Chantelsands.com.

Their gender was one challenge. Race was another. For their

A few Smith was the lead singer and main songwriter of the girl group The Chantels that was formed by five school-aged friends in the Bronx during the 1950s. The Chantels had several hit songs, appeared on American Banditated and heard the U.S. alongside only such as Chalk Berry. MICHAEL BALLLET/THIS NEW YORK TIMES

eight debut album, their label, find Records, replaced the original cover – featuring the group in matching stanchard pink dresses and white gloves – with an image of two sock hop-worthy white teenagers huddling over a julness.

'Things were going on in the country,' Ms. Smith said in a 1920 interview with The New York Times. 'There was a lot to transcend.'

Even so, the four was M. As Rolling Stone observed in 2003. Maybe was a 'towering doo-wop song' that 'became a template for a generation of girl groups' in the early 1950s. That was included in the Shandles (Will You Tell Love We Tomorrow), the Chiffons (He's So Fine) and the Shangri-La (Lander of the Pack).

'The Chantels forced bitterness to reconsider doo-wop as something more than a man's doo-man,' music critic and 1978 contributor Tim Riley wrote in his book From New Rock to All Grandstand: Gender in America (2004). 'And the reality of a girl group holding forth on gay? and laid out cultural possibilities in

an entirely new way.'

A few Smith was born on Oct. 5, 1926, in the Bronx, the elder of two children of Ray and Iola Smith.

Her took classical voice/tenorities from an early age, and became friends with the other future members of the Chantels in the first grade at St. Anthony of Phelan School. By their early teens, they were having their harmony skills performing Gregorian chant and Latin hymns in church and singing in the school choir.

Before long, the girls had started a group and were appearing at talent shows and parties.

According to the 1920 Times article, they got their break when they performed a few songs for Richard Barrett, the tenor lead of the doo-wop group, the Valentians, after approaching him for an autograph after a concert.

Mr. Barrett met with the girls' mothers, who agreed to be him, manage the group, which adapted in name from a rival of St. Anthony of Phelan, St. Francis in Chantal School.

Ms. Smith quickly proved herself a prodigy as a songwriter

with a bandy body, she came up with Mrs. Gore, the Chantels' first single, which was released in August, 1927 and made it to No. 73 on the Billboard pop chart.

After vaazing to fame with Maybe, the group scored two-mixner hits in 1927. Every Night (If Free), which made it to No. 45, and I Love You So, to No. 42, During their brief peak, the Chantels played the Apollo Theater in Harlem, appeared on American Banditated and toured the United States for two, performing on the same film as Chalk Berry, LaVerne Baker and many others.

They faced death threats while touring America's Deep South, where 'they wouldn't let us use the dressing rooms,' Jackie Landry, now with the married name Jackson, told the Times in 1927. 'We dressed in the cashier's breath with a short cover the door.'

Ms. Smith left the Chantels to 1920 to pursue a solo career. In 1927, she released the single Love You Love, under the guidance of stitched producer Phil Spector, the architect of the girl group sound with the Rosetten, the Crystal

and others. After the song failed to chart, Ms. Smith enrolled for a time at Ballad, where she studied music theory and composition.

She eventually earned a master's degree in education and worked as a schoolteacher in the Bronx.

Her continued to perform, touring with a new version of the Chantels' from 1927 to 2012. The original Chantels reunited multiple times in the 1920s, including in 1920s at a star-studded Doc Way 20 concert televised by PBS.

She leaves her brother, Ray Smith.

Her vocals on Maybe had a plaintive quality that may have had something to do with the 20 or so sales the group needed to get it right. But in a very video interview, Ms. Smith said she was happy to attack the song their after time.

'I had to give my pro-men,' she said, adding, 'I wanted to make sure what I was feeling was being communicated, even through a car radio.'

I REMEMBER

SALLY BRAYLEY BLISS

During the late 1920s, Sally Brayley lived in Ottawa's New Edinburgh neighborhood while her journalist Isaboo Jack Brayley, reported for The Canadian Press. It was a short star before the family moved back to Halifax.

Being neighbours, Sally's brother, Johnny, and I became good friends during their Ottawa stay. We went in the same classes to attend and played together with a member of the Brayley residence. Sally, being two years older, was my sister's friend. We knew Sally smoked 'The Dancer' but I had no idea what failed was.

One afternoon, Johnny and I were playing with our own mindly in the Brayley's kitchen, when his mother came in, followed by Sally, whose shoes made a funny clashing scene. Sally turned and faced many and me. She had nothing stockings, a small shirt and flat-nosed shoes. Her exam then turned on a small record player, placing the needle on a record. Beautifully, she was played and Sally began to dance.

Meanwhile, our 1950s toy cart continued soaring with Johnny's

tone and my own. Suddenly, a strong, commanding voice shocked us, saying, 'Very, watch and listen.' How could we not still be there?

That was my introduction to ballet. I've never forgotten the music, either I need home and my mother, who was a pianist and organist, helped me come to know Chopin's Nostane Opus 20 St. J. Every now and then, Tony's 1st, played by Arthur Rubinstein.

Coincidentally, both Johnny and I became members of the Royal Canadian Neuronal Police in the central United States (RCNP Veterans' Association keeps us informed of obituaries and that's how I learned that Johnny had died. I had an old black and white photo of the flamm-haired Sally with my sister and friend. I said that to the R.C. funeral home asking that it be forwarded to Sally.

About three weeks later, Sally enthusiastically replied, thanking me for making the effort to connect her I committed her to the above kitchen scene and she never again asking if the music she danced to was Chopin's Nostane Opus 20 St. J. – to years later.

He did keep in touch and she told me of her failing health. Thank you, Rebecca Ritzel, for your beautiful goodbye to Sally. What a life!

Robert (Briley) A. Short, Ottawa

While many of Sally Brayley (Rice's accomplishments were referenced in her obituary in The Globe and Mail, her incredible gifts as a teacher were sadly overlooked. My friends and I, along with many young Canadian dancers, had the pleasure of learning from Sally over a decade's worth of someone on the campus of Acadia University. Sally was a brilliant teacher. She was patient, kind and funny but very demanding, skilled at breaking down difficult techniques and an inspired repertoire coach. She made us all better, as dancers and as people. We were very lucky teenagers indeed.

制度与权力批判深度研判：The Globe and Mail (2026-08-20)

▌ 本日全报思想与文化深思雷达 (Intellectual & Cultural Significance Radar)

在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有国际政治、经济、社会与文化报道后，以下 3 个具体事件在思想史、文化政治与制度伦理层面最值得学者进一步深思：

1. 【加美贸易僵局与联邦权力博弈】 [F9_18, F11_22, F12_23, F12_24]

   • 事件简述：美国总统特朗普暗示将为加拿大出口商提供部分缓解措施 [F11_22 🔍]，而加拿大内部，安大略省的福特与不列颠哥伦比亚省的埃利则将酒类产品的重新上架作为换取关税减免的筹码 [F12_23 🔍]。
   • 思想文化深思切入点：主权国家内部的联邦权力碎片化与外部霸权压力之间的张力；贸易协议从“基于规则的秩序”向“基于个人意志的临时交易”的范式转移。

2. 【锡克教活动人士面临的安全威胁】 [F13_25, F13_26]

   • 事件简述：RCMP警告两名从事独立国家相关工作的锡克教活动人士，其生命面临可信且迫在眉睫的威胁 [F13_26 🔍]。
   • 思想文化深思切入点：国家安全机器的“预警”功能与非国家政治诉求之间的伦理悖论；生命政治（Biopolitics）在跨国族群冲突中的具体呈现。

3. 【战时体制下的民主悖论】 [F16_32, F17_33]

   • 思想文化深思切入点：例外状态（State of Exception）下，形式民主的暂停与实质政治认同之间产生的断裂。

---

▌ 精选核心专题深度思想论证 (In-Depth Dialectical Monograph)

专题一：从“规则秩序”到“意志交易”：霸权压力下联邦主权的碎片化

在当前的加美贸易僵局中，我们观察到一种极具张力的权力运作机制。美国总统特朗普通过 Truth Social 发布消息 [F9_18 🔍] 并以“稍微降低”数额的方式提供缓解措施 [F11_22 🔍]，这种非正式的、基于个人意志的沟通方式，直接冲击了传统的国际贸易理性。与此同时，加拿大内部出现了显著的权力撕裂：安大略省的福特与不列颠哥伦比亚省的埃利明确表示，在获得显著关税减免前不会将酒类重新上架 [F12_23 🔍]。

这种困境揭示了加拿大在面对美国霸权战术时，其内部治理结构（联邦制）与外部生存压力之间的深刻矛盾。权力在此不再通过正式的贸易协定运作，而是转化为一种基于“缓解措施” [F11_22 🔍] 的临时博弈。总理马克·卡尼虽然在战略领域取得了“实质性进展” [F12_24 🔍]，但其面临的是一个极不稳定的外部环境——当一个国家的经济命脉依赖于对方领导人的社交媒体发布 [F9_18 🔍] 时，传统的外交理性已然失效。

引入韦伯（Max Weber）关于“合法-理性权威”的理论，我们可以发现，北美贸易的逻辑正从基于法律条文的“理性权威”退化为一种基于个人恩赐或威胁的“魅力型权威”变体。在这种环境下，法律不再是预期的稳定框架，而成了可以随时被背弃的临时协议。这种“新常态”实际上是对制度信任的解构：国家主权在面对超大规模经济霸权时，其内部的权力协调（联邦与省）往往在外部压力下被异化为一种相互推诿的生存游戏。

专题二：例外状态下的政治认同与民主悬置：以乌克兰战时选举为例

乌克兰目前的政治状态呈现出一种典型的“例外状态”（State of Exception）。由于2022年俄罗斯入侵后的戒严，该国选举被禁止 [F16_32 🔍]，这意味着形式上的民主程序被暂时冻结，以换取战时的行政效率与国家生存。然而，这种制度性的暂停并未消除政治竞争的实质。

民调数据显示，尽管选举被禁止，但公众对领导层的认同度依然在波动：泽连斯基先生的支持率与被突然解职的国防部长费多罗夫先生（预计获得约10%选票）之间存在竞争关系 [F17_33 🔍]。这种现象揭示了一个深刻的政治哲学悖论：当法律程序（选举）被暂停时，政治认同（民调）反而成为了唯一的权力度量衡。

从施米特（Carl Schmitt）的视角看，能够决定“例外状态”的人即拥有主权。但在乌克兰的案例中，这种主权行使与民众的政治期待之间产生了裂痕。费多罗夫被解职引发的“战时街头抗议” [F17_33 🔍] 表明，即便在极端的生存危机面前，公民对政治参与的渴望依然存在。这种“被悬置的民主”创造了一种危险的张力：如果制度性的权力更迭通道被长期关闭，那么非制度性的抗议将成为唯一的政治表达方式。这向我们揭示了：在战争这种极端环境下，民主的真正危机不在于选举的缺失，而在于权力合法性来源从“程序正义”向“战时效能”转移过程中产生的社会异化。

▌ 面向学者的开放性思想追问与研究路标 (Open Horizons for Scholarly Inquiry)

1. 【关于“临时性治理”的政治哲学研究】：面对特朗普式“不可预测”的权力运作，传统的基于条约和制度的国际关系理论是否已彻底失效？我们是否需要构建一套能够应对“持续不确定性”和“意志驱动型外交”的新型政治哲学框架？
2. 【关于“安全预警”与个体能动性的社会学追问】：当国家安全机器（RCMP）向特定族群活动人士发出生命威胁警告 [F13_26 🔍] 时，这种“告知”行为在多大程度上起到了保护作用，在多大程度上构成了对非国家政治活动的隐形威慑？

理性与情感辩证深度研判：The Globe and Mail (2026-08-20)

▌ 本日全报生活世界痛感与情感政治深思雷达 (Lifeworld & Affective Significance Radar)

在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有报道后，以下 3 个具体事件在生活世界痛感、情感政治动员与制度理性冲突层面最值得学者进一步深思：

1. 【加美贸易僵局中的“酒精产品”博弈】 [F12_23, F12_24]

   • 事件简述：安大略省的福特先生和不列颠哥伦比亚省的埃利先生表示，在获得显著的关税减免之前，不会将酒类重新上架 [F12_23 🔍]。尽管埃利先生在听取总理马克·卡尼的简报后承认渥太华在“战略领域取得了实质性进展”，但贸易缓解措施的落实仍处于博弈之中 [F12_24 🔍]。
   • 情感政治与伦理深思切入点：宏观地缘政治理性（国家层面的贸易止损）与地方政治姿态（省长面对关税压力时的强硬立场）之间的撕裂。酒精产品在此被符号化为一种贸易筹码，反映了在不确定性贸易环境下，地方政府通过具体商品管控来表达政治诉求的策略。

2. 【埃德蒙顿马拉松 650 米测量失误】 [F2_3, F2_4]

   • 事件简述：埃德蒙顿马拉松出现 650 米的测量失误，导致跑者实际跑距增加，使部分跑者感到比赛变得“毫无意义” [F2_3 🔍]。一名跑者描述其比赛过程精准符合计划，但起跑阶段却感到异常急躁 [F2_4 🔍]。
   • 情感政治与伦理深思切入点：技术官僚的“测量误差”与个体生命经验中“极致努力”的剧烈冲突。对于追求精准成绩的跑者而言，缺失的 650 米不仅是数字偏差，更是对个体通过精密计划追求目标之过程的制度性干扰。

3. 【苏丹学者易卜拉欣的避风港之旅】 [F6_11, F7_13, F7_14]

   • 事件简述：现任卡尔顿大学客座教授的易卜拉欣女士在苏丹经历内战，描述了在埃尔加博尔（El Gabor）期间，当地人口受到快速支援部队（RAF）的针对，每三公里就有一个检查站，乘客面临被拉下巴士、虐待和殴打的恐惧 [F6_11, F7_13, F7_14]。
   • 情感政治与伦理深思切入点：极端暴力环境下的肉身痛感（检查站的恐惧、被怀疑为间谍的压力）与学术理性（计算机工程教授身份）的共存。这种对比揭示了全球知识流动背后深层的生存危机与地缘政治暴力对个体生命的真实摧毁。

---

▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)

专题一：量化理性的坍塌与生命意义的剥夺：从埃德蒙顿马拉松失误看“制度性误差”的伦理代价

在现代体育治理体系中，赛道的精准测量被视为一种绝对的“制度理性（Institutional Logos）”。这种理性建立在几何学精度与标准化协议之上，旨在为所有参与者提供一个公平的量化基准。然而，埃德蒙顿马拉松中出现的 650 米测量失误，揭示了当技术官僚的量化模型出现偏差时，这种理性如何迅速转化为一种冷漠的制度暴力 [F2_3 🔍]。

在生活世界的微观层面，这种“误差”触发了剧烈的“真实痛感（Living Lifeworld Pathos）”。对于跑者而言，比赛并非简单的距离位移，而是一场关于自我极限的精密计算。有跑者提到其比赛跑得非常精准，完全符合熟记的每公里计划 [F2_4 🔍]。当跑者发现实际距离与计划不符，且这种失误被定义为让比赛“变得毫无意义”时 [F2_3 🔍]，其感受到的不仅是体能的透支，更是一种深层的被背叛感。

这种 Logos 与 Pathos 的摩擦在于：制度端将 650 米视为可量化的“技术瑕疵”，但生活端将其视为对个体奋斗价值的“意义抹除”。跑者的挫败感源于一种“隐性理性”——即在公平竞争的契约中，制度必须保证其量化标准的绝对神圣。当这种神圣性坍塌，跑者的生理疲惫便升华为对制度公正性的质疑。

专题二：肉身生存的极端痛感与学术理性的异位：苏丹学者易卜拉欣的生存叙事

苏丹学者易卜拉欣女士在渥太华开启新生活的叙事，提供了一个关于“生存痛感”与“制度身份”之间剧烈反差的样本。在当前的制度身份中，她是卡尔顿大学计算机工程系的客座教授 [F6_11 🔍]，代表了最高等级的学术理性与知识精英地位。然而，其记忆中的生活世界却是被暴力碎片化的：在埃尔加博尔，生存被简化为在快速支援部队（RAF）的检查站之间地狱般的移动 [F7_13 🔍]。

这种辩证摩擦体现为“肉身痛感”对“理性身份”的绝对覆盖。易卜拉欣女士描述的“每三公里一个检查站” [F7_14 🔍] 以及“被拉下巴士或被带走”的恐惧 [F7_13 🔍]，揭示了在极端政治环境下，个体的学术成就、社会地位在准军事组织的暴力逻辑面前完全失效。在这里，理性的知识体系（AI、工程学）无法提供任何生存保障，唯一的真实是肉身在检查站面前的战栗。

这种叙事揭示了全球知识流动背后的一种残酷不对称：一名学者能够进入加拿大大学的办公室 [F6_11 🔍]，其前提是必须先在一个完全丧失理性的暴力场域中幸存下来。这种从“检查站的恐惧”到“大学办公室”的空间跃迁，不仅是地理上的迁移，更是从一个由暴力主导的 Pathos 世界向一个由制度主导的 Logos 世界的惊险逃离。

▌ 面向学者的伦理与社会心理开放性追问与研究路标 (Open Horizons for Ethical & Sociological Inquiry)

1. 【关于量化正义的伦理追问】：在精准量化成为社会运行基准的今天，当制度性的“微小误差”导致个体生命机会或奋斗意义的“重大丧失”时，我们应如何构建一套超越程序性道歉的、能够补偿“意义损失”的伦理救济机制？
2. 【关于全球流动中的痛感不对称研究】：探讨在同一份报纸的叙事空间中，苏丹学者肉身生存的极端痛感 [F7_13 🔍] 与加美贸易战中关于酒精产品上架的政治博弈 [F12_23 🔍] 如何共存。这种叙事权重的并置如何反映当代全球权力结构中，生存危机与经济利益博弈的心理图谱？
