Wet weather doesn’t dampen spirits at Highland Games

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF It’s all about managing the angles, says one of the heavy events athletes who joined Red Deer’s 69th-annual Highland Games at Titan Park on Saturday.

A thin drizzle of rain fell from high clouds as Damien Fisher of Bellingham, Wash., Rob Young of Calgary and a handful of other tall, stout lads took their turns tossing various heavy items across the wet grass.

Fisher set a new field record in the lightweight stone event, throwing a 28-pound weight 82 feet and six inches across the wet grass. Not quite as stocky as some of his fellow competitors, Fisher says his advantage is in having long arms and legs, which give him more leverage when he’s winding up for the throw.

He then switched out to a different pair of shoes, modified with a heavy spike at each toe to stick into the grass and hold his feet still for the hammer toss.

Very dangerous. Not the sort of thing you wear to a dance.

Young’s mother, Lesley, said she was deathly afraid when her son, 2002 heavyweight champion on the University of Calgary wrestling team, developed an interest in the heavy events. Relaxing in a lawn chair as her son warmed up for the Hammer Throw, she recalled her trepidation as she watched him out in a field, tossing heavy weights over a bar that was well above his head as he practiced for the Weight for Height event.

The program describes Weight for Height as the event that makes you hurt. “It’s about the same as throwing a small child over a Greyhound bus, but less likely to land you in jail — although it could land you in hospital,” it says.

Massive at six-foot-four and more than 300 pounds (1.93 metres and 136.6 kg), Young had quit wrestling after suffering from concussion and joined the university’s track and field team. He discovered Highland Games later on as an ideal vent for his competitive drive.

But don’t think the heavy events are limited to big, stout lads, said Masters (over 40) competitor

Sean Langford, on hand to judge the open competitions. There are women’s events, too — and they toss some of the same weights as the men — just not as far, where distance is the goal. The heaviest of all, the caber toss, is all about style. The caber — a long tapered pole — is to be grasped at its narrow end, and then tossed in a manner that will flip it end over end and in a straight line.

Highland Games appear to have started hundreds of years ago as casual bets between rival farmers, with little or no relationship to actual field chores, said Young.

Aside from the heavy events, Red Deer’s Highland Games run a broad spectrum of Scottish culture, including competitions for pipers, drummers, pipe bands and Highland dancers as well as a TugO-War and a shortbread competition.

Chairperson Debbie Wallace said there are always a few headaches as competitors and vendors start arriving first thing in the morning, but a little rain didn’t hurt a bit.

The dampness and chill actually made it feel just a bit more like Scotland, said Wallace. The weather did not deter participants, but Wallace was concerned that it would affect the number of people who came out to watch.

To help attract the volunteers it needs to keep the show running, the games offers a share of its proceeds to local charities that want to make some money.

This year’s crew is a group of people saving up to send a group of Grade 8 students from Red Deer on a science trip to Orlando, Fla. in 2017.

Wallace’s husband, John — a direct descendant of Clan Wallace, said the games appear to date back roughly to the early 11th Century with competitions organized by Clan Canmore. Wallace said he had noticed after attending Highland Games elsewhere in the province that there were no clan tents set up at Red Deer, so he set about fixing that flaw with a number of clans setting up among the vendors in the concession area.

Fittingly, finalists from local competitions wrap up their season this fall at the Canmore Highland Games, recognized as one of the Top 12 in Canada.

There was a time during nearly five decades with Co-op that Larry Parks — now general manager of the Central Alberta Co-op — was wearing his cars out, putting on 100,000 kilometres a year travelling from town to town.

Now 62 and poised to retire, Parks recalls that it was still legal to hire 14-years-olds in the fall of 1968 when, as a Grade 9 student in Craik, Sask., he got a part-time job packing and delivering groceries for the local Co-op store.

“At that time, there wasn’t a whole lot of jobs for a 14-year-old kid, so I was pretty lucky to get that job.”

It would be the start of a career that would span a lifetime and carry Parks all over Alberta and Saskatchewan in various roles with local Co-op stores as well as with Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL), the company’s wholesale and manufacturing division.

Parks’s plans to study pharmacy after high school were shelved when the Craik store offered him a full-time job.

“I loved what I was doing, so I just stayed with it.”

Still in his early 20s, Parks moved to Lemberg, Sask. in 1973 to take over as manager of the Co-op food store. With his bride, Enid at his side, he went from Lamberg to Melville in 1974 and from there to Ponoka, four years later to manage the hardware and furniture department. He and Enid continued to transfer every few years, heading for the “big city” of Regina in 1991, where he took on a travelling job as retail adviser with FCL. One hundred thousand kilometres and four Chevy Luminas later, he and Enid abandoned the city lights and headed back to the smaller town of Tisdale, home of Beeland Co-op and Brent Butt, creator of the CTV comedy series, Corner Gas. Although filmed in Rouleau, much of the goings on in Corner Gas are based on events that happened in Tisdale, and would be readily identified by anyone watching the show, says Parks. For example, the Corner Gas episode in which a customer who writes a bad cheque is publicly humiliated at the gas station is based on an incident that actually occurred in Tisdale, he said.

Parks still chuckles at Tisdale’s town motto, based on its position in the heart of canola country.

At the time he was there, local farmers were still growing rapeseed, the predecessor to canola. All that rapeseed had created a healthy environment for honey farmers, whose bees in turn provided reliable pollination for the massive fields of bright yellow flowers. For 60 years, therefore, Tisdale advertised itself to the world as the “Land of Rape and Honey,” says Parks. At least once a year, someone would complain to the Chamber of Commerce about the motto.

Town leaders finally decided to drop the slogan and took down the signs in the fall of 2015.

Parks’s career eventually brought him, Enid and their three children to Red Deer, where he and Enid plan to stay.

Red Deer Co-op, established in 1937, was a much smaller operation from today when the Parks arrived in the late winter of 2002. Its operations included a shopping mall and gas bar in Lacombe as well as two food stores, a gas bar and a hardware and farm centre in Red Deer.

Mountain bike trail plan prompts concern

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Parks Canada is preparing to go to the public with plans for a $66-million, 107-kilometre bike trail adjacent to the Jasper-Banff highway — one of the country’s most scenic drives.

But five environmental groups are already wary of the idea, fearing the project will damage crucial habitat and divert resources from conserving nature.

“Recent budget announcements have allocated far more to infrastructure than to ecological protection and species-at-risk protection,” said Andrea Johancsik of the Alberta Wilderness Association.

“We’re concerned about the amount of commercial development in the parks and this could perhaps contribute.”

The highway runs past glaciers, icefields, cerulean lakes and jagged peaks and connects two national parks and is considered a classic — and highly popular — tour for both drivers and cyclists.

Money for some kind of cycling and walking trail in Jasper National Park was initially promised in the last federal budget. This week, Parks Canada shared some of the details of the plan with The Canadian Press.

The proposed trail would run for 107 kilometres from Jasper townsite to the Columbia Icefields. It would be separate from the current narrow, two-lane road, said Parks Canada spokesman Steve Young.

“You’re not going to have an extra lane on what exists now. It’s designed to be safer.”

The trail could eventually stretch all the way to Lake Louise and link up with a current bike trail along the Trans-Canada Highway.

Young said the new trail will make use of an existing and now-abandoned roadbed as much as possible. Young acknowledged the new trail will require new asphalt, but the amount of land that would be paved isn’t yet public.

The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society has estimated the amount of paving needed for a trail all the way to Lake Louise would be the equivalent of 116 football fields. The environmental groups are concerned the trail would take up more of the valley between the row of peaks through which the highway currently runs.

Such habitat is rare in the rugged mountain parks and this valley is important to animals such as the tiny Brazeau caribou herd.

Parks Canada will hold a full public consultation, the details of which are expected shortly, Young said. An environmental assessment will also be conducted.

“We’re going to do our best to ensure there’s no net impact,” he said. “We’ll look at absolutely everything.”

But environmentalists fear that since the money

The Canadian flag flies over the Columbia Icefields’ Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. Parks Canada is preparing to go to the public with plans for a $66-million, 107-kilometre bike trail from Jasper to the Columbia Icefields along the Jasper-Banff highway, one of the country’s most scenic drives. has already been set aside, the trail is a done deal.

“Details of the plan will only be available after the full supply bill is passed,” says a letter from the association to federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. “(The association) is concerned that such a significant amount of taxpayer money has been allocated to a specific project without full and transparent public consultation that includes the result of a full needs assessment.”

The trail plan is another example of what environmentalists say is increasing commercialization in national parks and a growing emphasis on providing tourist amenities rather than conservation. They point to the new, privately owned Glacier Skywalk at the Columbia Icefields, as well as canyoning in Jasper and a via ferrata — a protected climbing route — at Mount Norquay, near Banff.

“We like to see people enjoying nature responsibly, but we do recognize that the priority of national parks is ecological integrity,” said Johancsik.

“Perhaps this funding would be better spent on enhanced interpretive programs and services rather than providing additional access.”

Parks Canada has been trying to find ways to widen its appeal beyond traditional parks visitors.

“Investments in visitor infrastructure such as trails and highways will continue to allow Canadians to connect with nature and stimulate the economy in communities across the country,” Young said in an email.

“Developing new services and visitor offers, such as the Icefields trail, allows more Canadians, including youth and newcomers, to experience the outdoors and learn about our environment.”

Teacher writes novel on refugee’s experience living in the streets below.

His family lived with the war for three years before being brought to Canada via the United Nations.

During their discussions, his English grew stronger and so did his confidence. In Canuel, he said, he found a teacher he’d never have encountered at home.

“I trusted her,” he said.

Canuel had long thought about writing a book of her own, telling friends she was waiting for the right story to find her. In listening to al Rabeeah talk about his family and his experiences, she found it.

“Yes, there are massacres and car bombs in his background, yet it’s ultimately about a love of a family and the resiliency of the human experience, that is what we should carry away from this,” she said.

“That’s universal.”

The novel they wrote together, called “Homes,” is now for sale in Edmonton bookstores and online.

For al Rabeeah, the goal is to help people understand that behind all the Syrian refugees now coming into Canada there are stories. Too many people only see him as a refugee, he said.

“It makes me feel outside of the community, not with them,” he said.

Canuel said she’s lucky. Her school gave her the time and the money to work one-on-one with al Rabeeah and he arrived long before the influx of Syr-

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — What’s your secret wish?

That’s the first question teacher Winnie Canuel asks her students at the start of English as a second language classes at her Edmonton school.

For Abu Bakr al Rabeeah, an Iraqi refugee from Syria, there were two answers. First, he wanted to be a soccer player. But second, and perhaps more urgently, he wanted to tell his story.

This week, that wish was realized in a way the soft-spoken 15-year-old never imagined: it was published in a book.

Al Rabeeah and Canuel began working together last fall, about six months after his family arrived in Canada as 10 of the 23,000 Iraqi refugees who’ve settled here since 2009.

As they talked, he relayed stories of his early childhood in Iraq, such as being slapped in the face by his Grade 2 teacher for being a Sunni Muslim.

Escalating tensions between Sunnis and Shias forced his family to flee Iraq and seek refugee status in Syria in 2010.

The next year, the Syrian civil war broke out.

Every night at dusk, he told Canuel, a sniper would climb to the roof of his family’s apartment building and use it as a base to fire at anti-government rebels

ian refugees began challenging schools across the country.

About 60 per cent of Syrians are under 14, placing unprecedented pressure on the system.

The Calgary Board of Education has seen 414 Syrians enrol, the equivalent of an entire new school.

The $2.6 million to help them came out of the board’s existing budget, forcing changes elsewhere, like increases in class sizes.

“Given that they have some significant complex needs and they are war-torn, traumatized, and require significant supports, we are frustrated in the fact that neither the provincial nor the federal government is taking responsibility to assist school boards in working with these students,” Joy Bowen-Eyre, a member of the Calgary board, recently told a parliamentary committee.

In the Peel Region board outside Toronto, where the first language of 60 per cent of students isn’t French or English, educators are being equally challenged.

“Most of the students in grades 3 and up have large gaps in education due to limited prior schooling,” Zaiba Beg, the co-ordinator for the board’s ESL programs, told the committee.

“As a result, they require more intensive programs in order to accelerate their learning.”

Three Amigos preach co-operation

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS North American leaders meeting in Ottawa this week are being confronted with the seismic economic ripples caused by Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.

Canada and Mexico must also take the opportunity to strengthen their bilateral co-operation as a counterweight to an incoming U.S. administration in 2017 that is likely to be anti-trade and more inward-looking about American interests, experts say.

Those thorny issues will lurk beneath the surface of what will be an attempt by the so-called Three Amigos summit to announce a new mechanism that keeps Canada, the U.S., and Mexico co-operating closely after President Barack Obama leaves office in seven months.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto will join Obama in the trilateral meeting, before Obama addresses Parliament later on Wednesday.

Their three-way bonhomie swims against a current of global disengagement in the U.S. presidential election.

The presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has talked about new trade barriers and criticized international military co-operation, while his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, has opposed the new Trans-Pacific Partnership deal.

Now, the Brexit vote, which marks the start of an unprecedented negotiation to take Britain out of the EU, provides a stormy backdrop to the carefully crafted, sunny script of North American co-operation and solidarity to be delivered by Trudeau, Obama and Pena Nieto.

Trudeau’s environment minister, Catherine McKenna, told CTV’s Question Period on Sunday the contrast between Britain’s exit and growing North American co-operation will buttress the Three Amigos theme.

“It’s a great message to the world that we’re working together, we believe in trade, we have progressive governments,” said McKenna.

Fen Hampson, a foreign policy ex-

President Barack Obama, center, walks with Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto, left, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, right, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Manila, Philippines last November. A senior Canadian official says clean energy and climate policy will be a dominant theme when the leaders of Canada, the United States and Mexico convene June 29 in Ottawa. pert with the Waterloo, Ont.-based Centre for International Governance Innovation, said the European Union is the biggest market in the world and its fate “has very important implications for North America.”

“That’s surely now going to be an important and central topic of discussion,” said Hampson.

Carlo Dade, a leading expert on Canada’s North American relations, said he expects the leaders to make “a bland statement” about the Britain-EU divorce.

He said they’ve got a good story to tell about their own continental alliance.

“In North America, we have a more

limited project (than the EU). It was always more focused on the bare necessities to promote economic growth. Because of the bare necessity approach, we don’t have all the same issues they have.”

It may fall to Obama to offer Brexit fallout reassurances, which could come during his address to Parliament to be delivered late Wednesday after the North American leaders’ summit.

“What he says — or doesn’t say — about softwood lumber, the future of North America and world trade after Brexit will be taken as a sign of whether the British exit from the EU is a bump or the first step in a cascade of bad news for Canadian exports,”

said Christopher Sands, director of the Centre for Canadian Studies at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

An official in one of the countries said the leaders will announce more than one process designed to tighten long-term co-operation over multiple areas.

They will seek to build links that withstand a bombastic U.S. election marked by talk of walls, ripping up trade deals and scrapping climate commitments.

Sources in two countries say the summit’s goal is to entrench regular, ongoing collaboration in a host of areas ranging from climate change to public health issues like the Zika virus, peacekeeping, ocean management and refugee flows.

In a recent letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, the Canadian American Business Council called for the creation of a threecountry cabinet group like the U.S.Mexico one created in 2013.

“Continued and deepened economic and commercial cooperation, integration and policy alignment are necessary.

“This means that we need established platforms in which to address the economic relationships of both bilateral relationships shared by the U.S.” But Hampson and Dade say Canada and Mexico should be focusing on strengthening their direct relationship so they can help each other deal with the rising American protectionist sentiment.

Mexico and Canada co-operated to force the U.S. to abandon its countryof-origin rules of labelling on its meat products after victories at the World Trade Organization.

They’ve also worked together to fight protectionist Buy American rules.

The Mexicans can be particularly helpful to Canada because they have four times as many consulates in the U.S., which gives them greater face time with Congress, said Dade.

Canadian jailed in Iran for dabbling in feminism: family

Ghahremani said she met with Dion on Thursday and was satisfied the Canadian government “is doing what they can do” to help her aunt.

Amnesty International has called

on the Iranian government to release Hoodfar, calling her a prisoner of conscience.

Over 4,600 professors have also signed a petition on the Hoodfar family’s website calling for her release.

MONTREAL — A Montreal-based university professor being held in an Iranian jail is being investigated for ‘dabbling in feminism and security matters,’ according to her family.

Homa Hoodfar’s niece, Amanda Ghahremani, said the Tehran public prosecutor made a statement to Iranian media on the case on Friday.

Ghahremani said the family doesn’t know whether Hoodfar has been charged with a crime.

She said the prosecutor’s statement was the first indication of why the 65-year-old professor has been held in Iran’s notorious Evin prison since her arrest on June 6.

“We’re very concerned that we have no news from her, that the family hasn’t been able to see her, that the lawyer hasn’t been able to see her, and we don’t know her mental state, her health, or the conditions of her detention,” Ghahremani told The Canadian Press.

She said the family wanted to refute other “baseless” accusations that have circulated in some Iranian media outlets stating her aunt was “fomenting a feminist soft revolution.”

Hoodfar, a professor at Montreal’s

Concordia University, was born in Iran but has been living in Montreal for 30 years.

Her family said she travelled to Iran in February to see family and conduct academic research.

She was initially arrested in March, shortly before she was to return home, but was released on bail.

She was arrested again on June 6 and has not been allowed to contact her family or her lawyer since then, according to her family.

Ghahremani said her aunt is foremost an anthropologist whose work focuses on improving the lives of women.

She said Hoodfar’s work is not political and the accusations against her are unfounded.

“All the work she’s done has always been within the legal parameters of the context in which she does her work,” she said.

A spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion said the government is actively involved in Hoodfar’s case and is doing what it can to help her.

“The Minister has met Dr. Hoodfar’s family, and the Parliamentary Secretary and consular officials remain in close contact with them,” Joseph Pickerill said in an email.

Will Brexit open EU exodus floodgates?

GWYNNE DYER OPINION

“T

he EU is dying. I hope we’ve knocked the first brick out of the wall,” exulted Nigel Farage, leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party. He proposed that June 23rd, when the British narrowly voted (51.8 percent of the votes) to leave the European Union, should be a new national holiday called Independence Day. But author J.K. Rowling, who wanted Scotland to remain in the United Kingdom and the U.K. to remain in the EU, tweeted sadly: “Scotland will seek independence now. Cameron’s legacy will be breaking up two unions. Neither needed to happen.”

Soon-to-be-former Prime Minister David Cameron’s decision to hold a referendum on Britain’s EU membership has assured the dismantling of the United Kingdom. Fifty-eight per cent of the English voted “Leave,” while 62 per cent of Scots voted “Remain.” It is “democratically unacceptable” for Scotland to be dragged out of the EU by the English, said First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, and a second independence referendum in Scotland is “highly likely”.

It remains to be seen whether Cam-

eron’s historic blunder will also trigger the disintegration of the EU itself, but there are plenty of right-wing nationalists in other EU countries who hope there will be a domino effect.

Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s Front National, called the U.K. referendum “a key moment in European history” and said “I hope the French also have a similar exercise.” And “Frexit” is just the start.

Geert Wilders, whose anti-Muslim, anti-immigration Freedom Party is predicted to win 46 of the 150 seats in the Dutch parliament in next year’s election, promised that if he were elected, the Netherlands will hold its own “Nexit” referendum. Italy’s anti-immigrant Northern League and the populist 5-Star Movement both called for a referendum on Italian membership of the EU. Kristian Thulesen Dahls, the leader of the Danish People’s Party, said that Denmark should follow Britain’s lead.

Nationalist leaders in Eastern Europe like Poland’s Jarosław Kaczynski and Hungary’s Viktor Orban indulge in harsh anti-EU rhetoric all the time.

And so on.

But most of the people who might vote for these nationalist leaders are not seeking the destruction of the EU, just big changes in the way it works — in particular the reform or abolition of the euro and much stricter controls on immigration. Unlike the “Little Englanders” who voted for Brexit, they see the European Union as an essential bulwark against a return to the old

Europe of beggar-my-neighbour trade policies and savage wars.

The EU’s leaders will have to take a very tough line in the negotiations about the European Union’s post-Brexit relations with the rump of the U.K. A horrible example will be required to show the nationalists and populists in other members that leaving is hard and painful. And to preserve the EU they will have to abolish or drastically restructure the euro currency (but that had become necessary anyway).

The odds are, however, that the EU will survive. Its biggest problem will not be the loss of Britain, its second-biggest economy, but rather the fact that post-Brexit Germany will dominate the Union even more than it does already.

As for the English, they have made their bed and they will have to lie in it. The pound sterling has already lost much value and will probably lose much more. The last of the three major global ratings agencies, Standard and Poor’s, will downgrade the U.K.’s AAA credit rating. Foreign investment will dry up, in recognition of the fact that the country will probably lose duty-free access to the EU’s “single market.”

Further down the road more pain will follow, as jobs disappear abroad, the English economy goes into recession, and the City of London starts to lose its status as a global financial centre rivalled only by New York. That will make domestic politics nasty enough, but the anti-immigrant fervour

and outright racism that disfigured the “Leave” campaign are unlikely to dwindle in the ugly aftermath.

Scotland will vote to secede from the U.K., but it will face major legal and political barriers in its campaign to remain a member of the EU in its own right. Spain in particular will give it a hard time, as Madrid does not want it to provide a precedent for Catalonia seceding from Spain and painlessly re-emerging as an independent EU member.

Northern Ireland will face an even harder time, as the Republic of Ireland will continue to be a EU member and so it will have to re-establish border controls. One alternative,of course, would be for Northern Ireland (which voted strongly in favour of EU membership) to unite with the Republic – but Northern Irish Protestants would still fiercely resist such a proposal, and in that context a revival of armed conflict in the province is not unthinkable.

The triumph of Brexit is a most regrettable outcome for everybody involved and possibly even for the world economy. But perhaps it isn’t really all that shocking: Charles De Gaulle vetoed British entry to the Common Market, the EU’s ancestor, for five years on the grounds that it didn’t really have a “European vocation”. Turns out he was right.

Path to power in Alberta tricky for Jason Kenney PAUL WELLS OPINION

J

ason Kenney wouldn’t tell me when we exchanged emails on Wednesday whether he’s going to leave federal politics to unite Alberta’s conservative forces. I suspect he doesn’t know yet. He did say he’s “getting very close to a decision.”

Here are the options facing the Conservative MP for Calgary Midnapore.

He could stay in federal politics and remain a hard-working opposition MP. He could run to replace Stephen Harper as the federal party’s leader. That was what most people, including close friends of the former immigration minister, assumed until a few weeks ago he would do.

Or he could go home to Alberta, try to win the Progressive Conservative leadership vacated by his former federal cabinet colleague Jim Prentice, and then try to unite Alberta PCs with the Wildrose Party — over, it seems, the objections of his former federal Conservative caucus colleague, Brian Jean.

ince’s NDP premier, Rachel Notley, in the next election.

Notice I said “try,” three times.

None of these steps is a slam dunk.

Beating Notley might be the easiest part. Alberta’s first NDP government has struggled with the same bundle of lousy news that allowed Notley to unseat the PCs in the first place: chronic low oil prices and rising unemployment. Her NDP has been behind Wildrose in polls all year, and in one poll they fell back to third place behind the PCs. But I’d be reluctant to bet even on Notley’s political demise. She has three years to turn things around, and Alberta has much more often returned incumbent governments than ejected them after a single term.

Meanwhile, Kenney would have to reunite Alberta’s conservative parties.

You could say he has experience, as a senior lieutenant to the guy who managed it at the federal level in 2003, Stephen Harper. The problem is that he was also a senior lieutenant to Stockwell Day, who tried to unite the parties before Harper did. And he was a senior lieutenant to Preston Manning, who tried to do it before Day did. Kenney knows these things fail more often than they succeed.

he could ask Prentice, the white knight swooping in from Ottawa (well, from semi-retirement in Toronto, but close enough) to rally the Alberta right in 2014. It ended badly.

And Prentice had advantages Kenney doesn’t. The Conservative government in which he’d served hadn’t yet lost. The Alberta PCs were the senior partner in any merger talks; in fact they, too, were still in power.

It’s hard to remember now, but Prentice returned to Alberta as a kind of juggernaut, sweeping all before him. He managed to get nine Wildrose MNAs to defect to his party — including the leader, Danielle Smith. This had two main results. First, it awakened PC antibodies against the intruders, and Smith lost the nomination battle to run as a PC candidate. Second, it hardened the resolve of the Wildrose rump against the PCs. The survivors of Prentice’s raid against Wildrose are not likely to look more kindly on a union today than they did only two years ago. None of this amounts to an argument that Kenney is the wrong man for the task.

He’s smart, widely read and travelled, almost comically hardworking, and was a key contributor to Harper’s success, when Harper was successful.

Like Harper, he would run near the

right end of the leadership spectrum.

You could argue that would make him more attractive to Wildrose members after he wins the PC leadership. But it’s debatable whether you can win the leadership these days from the right. Ted Morton, a political scientist turned politician, used to try.

Kenney endorsed Morton when he ran for the Alberta PC leadership in 2006 and finished third. Morton tried again in 2011, without Kenney’s endorsement, finished fourth, and threw his support to the guy who wound up losing to Alison Redford. It’s not exactly a trail blazed in glory.

Politics is often the art of the impossible. In 2002 when Stephen Harper returned to federal politics, not a lot of columnists predicted a decade at 24 Sussex Drive for him. In 1990 it was fashionable in some circles to call Jean Chrétien “yesterday’s man.”

If human agency counted for nothing in this business it would be no fun to write about it. But the road to power in Alberta is suddenly trickier than it has been for decades. Surely Jason Kenney, one of the keenest students of politics I’ve met, has noticed this.

BASE jumper dies near Squamish

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SQUAMISH, B.C. — A BASE jumper has died in a plunge from a popular British Columbia mountain, after the parachute apparently failed to open until it was too late, Mounties say.

The person jumped from the first peak of the Stawamus Chief Mountain, a busy spot for outdoors enthusiasts near Squamish, north of Vancouver, just before 10 a.m. on Sunday.

Witnesses told police the person’s parachute did not open until significantly after the jump, and the person fell near the Sea-to-Sky Highway below, said Squamish RCMP. Sgt. Jolaine Percival said no further

information about the person will be released while family members are being notified.

She said she believes the BASE jumper was with a group, and the community of people who enjoy the activity is a tight-knit one.

“It’s an adventurous kind of district that we live in, and people from all around the world flock to partake in activities like this,” she said.

“Now, it’s just ensuring that we deal with the family and get all the BASE jumper’s belongings back to the family.”

The B.C. Coroner’s Service has been called to the scene.

Squamish Mayor Patricia Heintzman said she was shocked and sad-

dened by the death.

“Your thoughts immediately go to, ‘Was it a person in the community? Did you know them?’

“We’re a pretty small, tight-knit community here,” she said. “You think about this person and their family, and it’s very sad.”

Heintzman said she believes BASE jumping is legal in the provincial park that includes the Stawamus Chief, and it would be difficult for her district to regulate the activity.

“People who do these extreme sports know the risks they’re taking, have prepared tremendously to do them, and you just have to hope they’re doing things within their skill set.”

“I don’t think you can prevent peo-

ple from trying to push the limits.”

BASE jumping is when people jump from a fixed structure or cliff using a parachute or wingsuit.

It’s considered more dangerous than skydiving due to the relatively low altitude of the jumps.

The first peak of the Stawamus Chief towers about 540 metres above the highway.

The granite cliff draws scores of hikers and climbers daily, and has become a draw for extreme sports fans as well.

A 40-year-old Squamish man died after plunging from the mountain last July while speed flying, a sport similar to paragliding.

Canada BRIEFS Multiple fatalities reported in north Toronto crash TORONTO — Multiple fatalities were reported in a fiery multi-vehicle crash Friday night on Highway 400 in north Toronto.

Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says there were at least four fatalities, but there could be more. He said police believe that at least one of the dead was a child.

He added that investigators were still working with the coroner to confirm the number of fatalities.

Schmidt said the crash happened in the highway’s southbound lanes shortly before 10 p.m. ET and involved three transport trucks along with several other vehicles, some of which suffered massive damage.

“These vehicles are completely unrecognizable,” he said. “I think this is one of the most incredible scenes I’ve ever been to in terms of the number of fatalities and just the trauma that’s been sustained and the way these vehicles ended up.”

Schmidt said one of the truck trailers and several vehicles were gutted by a fire that was ignited by the crash.

An OPP news release issued early Saturday confirmed that a total of 12 vehicles were involved in the pileup, and it said the identities of those killed were being withheld pending notification of their next of kin.

Feds invest $150M for affordable housing in B.C. VANCOUVER — The federal government has announced it will invest $150 million in affordable housing in British Columbia, as real estate prices in the province continue to skyrocket.

The money will be spread out over the next two years and is part of the $2.3 billion the Liberal government pledged to spend on affordable housing in the 2016 budget.

Jean-Yves Duclos, federal minister of families, children and social development, announced the funding on Sunday with B.C. housing minister Rich Coleman outside a new development in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

“All Canadians need and deserve housing that is safe, adequate and affordable,” Duclos said in a statement.

“Through new investments in housing, the government is helping to strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life for families and seniors.”

Duclos said the new funding includes $25.2 million for construction and repair of affordable housing for seniors and $10.9 million for the construction and renovation of shelters and transition houses for family violence victims.

He said it also includes $50.9 million to address the increasing demand for repairs as social housing units age and to improve efficiency and reduce energy and water use.

Coleman said the province is partnering with the federal government to

build and renovate more affordable and supportive housing.

“We will be working with communities throughout the province to identify specific housing needs and determine where the additional funding will be distributed.”

The funding announced Sunday is in addition to the $63 million joint annual funding provided by the federal and B.C. governments under the Investment in Affordable Housing Agreement.

Duclos and Coleman are set to be in Victoria on Tuesday for a forum on housing. It comes at a time when the debate over housing affordability in B.C. has become increasingly heated.

The average price of a single-family detached home in Vancouver is $1.5 million.

Premier Christy Clark said on Friday that her government will lay out a plan to address housing affordability in the coming days and weeks.

In a video posted to YouTube, she listed six principles the government will consider, including supporting first-time homebuyers and protecting consumers from greedy sales practices.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson recently said he wants the provincial government to co-operate with the city in collecting an empty homes tax.

Robertson said he hopes to create more rental housing instead of letting investment properties sit vacant while his city’s living costs soar.

Meanwhile, the federal government has created a working group to exam-

ine housing affordability in Vancouver

and Toronto.

Rain or shine at the Highland Games CHANGING WEATHER ONLY MAKES THE EVENT FEEL LIKE IT’S GOOD OLD SCOTLAND The 69th Red Deer Highland Games got to a bit of a damp start Saturday with a persistent rain falling through the morning. The mood was not dampened by the mist reminiscent of the Scottish highlands however and the events went on as planned. Dancers, pipers, drummers and athletes in the field events took it all in stride and made the best of it.

After the morning rain the afternoon brought sunny skies and participants from across the province were able to cast aside their Macintosh (raincoat) Wellies (rubber boots) and Brollie (umbrella).

An injured anti-fascist protester lies on the ground with fellow demonstrators after a clash with members of white supremacist and other right-wing extremist groups who were holding a rally in Sacramento, Calif. California Highway Patrol officers managed to break up the large fight in which several people were stabbed.

At least 6 stabbed outside California Capitol

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. — At least six people were stabbed Sunday when members of right-wing extremists groups holding a rally outside the California state capitol building in Sacramento clashed with counter-protesters, authorities said.

Sacramento Fire Department spokesman Chris Harvey said emergency crews transported six people who were stabbed, some critically wounded, and that many other people had cuts, scrapes and bruises. “There was a large number of people carrying sticks and rushing to either get into the melee or see what was going on,� Harvey said.

California Highway Patrol officers managed to break up the large fight but some members of both groups remained in the area an hour after the fight first broke out, Harvey said.

Videos from the melee posted on social media showed mounted police officers dispersing a group of mainly youth, some with their faces covered, while some throw stones toward a man holding a stick and being shielded by police officers in riot gear as he enters a glass building.

The victims were all present while a protest took place, said Sacramento Police spokesman Matt McPhail but he said it was still unclear whether and how they were involved.

The Traditionalist Workers Party had scheduled and received a permit to protest at noon Sunday in front of the Capitol. McPhail said a group showed up to demonstrate against

them.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has described TWP as a group formed in 2015 as the political wing of the Traditionalist Youth Network, which aims to “indoctrinate high school and college students into white nationalism.�

Matthew Heimbach, chairman of the Traditionalist Worker Party, told the Los Angeles Times that his group and the Golden State Skinheads organized the Sunday rally.

Vice chairman Matt Parrott, who was not present at the Sacramento rally, said it was a peaceful march and blamed “leftist radicals� for instigating the violence. Heimbach said that in the clash, one of their marchers had been stabbed in an artery and six of the “anti-fascists� had also been stabbed.

A message left at a phone number for the Traditionalist Worker Party was not immediately returned to The Associated Press.

A post recently uploaded to site of the Traditionalist Youth Network said TWP members planned to march in Sacramento to protest against globalization and in defence of their right to free expression. They said they expected to be outnumbered 10-to-1 by counter-protesters. “We concluded that it was time to use this rally to make a statement about the precarious situation our race is in,� the Traditionalist Youth Network statement said. “With our folk on the brink of becoming a disarmed, disengaged, and disenfranchised minority, the time to do something was yesterday!�

Online harassment could be included in federal strategy on gender-based violence

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Status of Women Minister Patricia Hajdu says she’s quick to press the mute button on social media whenever violent or abusive comments come her way. “My personal perspective is that I am not obligated to receive that and that I can use whatever mechanism I wish to walk away from violence in my life,� Hajdu said in an interview. “That is a knowledge and a power that I have after many, many years of personal growth around that issue.�

Such power might not come easily to all women, girls and members of the trans community.

That is one reason Hajdu said she is interested in hearing more about what the federal government can do on the issue of cyber violence, including online harassment, as she begins consultations this summer on what should be included in the promised federal strategy on gender-based violence.

On Monday, Hajdu will meet for the first time with the members of an advisory council — including men — she has convened as a sounding board while Status of Women Canada develops a federal strategy against gender-based violence, a key part of her mandate from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

She said she wants to take a holistic approach, which includes moving beyond physical and sexual assault to look at other ways women and girls can experience intimate partner violence, such as through losing control of their finances or being isolated from friends and family.

She also thinks the federal strategy could support Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould as she reviews domestic assault criminal legislation and bail conditions. “We know there are pieces of legislation that civil society groups have said make it more difficult for women to report or more dangerous for women to report,� Hajdu said.

The transition binder prepared for

Hajdu when she took over the portfolio noted that greater attention on things like sexual assault and harassment in the military, on university campuses and online, as well as the issue of murdered and missing indigenous women and girls had highlighted the need for the federal government to do more on gender-based violence.

The briefing material also said that, apart from Status of Women, the government as a whole had previously taken a “gender-neutral� approach, focusing the majority of its efforts on family violence and all victims of crime. “If we don’t actually talk about the problem in a way that reflects the evidence, we don’t get very far,� said Hajdu.

Organizations that have been calling for a national plan involving the provinces and territories, however, will have to wait.

Hajdu said this is because Ottawa needs to get its own house in order first. “We have no data. We have no plan.

The departments are not speaking to each other about this issue. “They are doing their own projects and funding various initiatives, but there has been no comprehensive approach,� she said.

Lise Martin, executive director of the Canadian Network of Women’s Shelters & Transition Houses, is on the advisory council meeting Monday with Hajdu.

She said the federal strategy is a good first step, but a national plan that involves Ottawa co-ordinating efforts with provincial and territorial governments is still needed to ensure more comparable access to support and services nationwide. “I really don’t think the safety of women should depend on the fiscal situation of a province or territory,� she said.

Martin was part of a group of 22 non-profit organizations, trade unions and independent experts who developed a blueprint for national action on gender-based violence.

British political turmoil deepens

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Britain’s shocking decision to remove itself from the European Union brought more political turmoil Sunday as Scotland’s leader threatened to block the move and the opposition Labour Party’s leader faced a coup attempt from his own legislators.

The sense of unease spread as European leaders stepped up the pressure on Britain to begin its complex exit from the 28-nation EU immediately, rather than wait several months as British Prime Minister David Cameron prefers.

The vote to leave sent the pound and global stock markets plunging. Britain’s Treasury said finance minister George Osborne would make an early morning statement Monday “to provide reassurance about financial and economic stability” before the London Stock Exchange reopens.

The leaders of the successful campaign to leave the EU stayed largely out of the public eye, as opponents accused them of lacking a plan to calm the crisis the result has triggered. In his first statement since Friday morning, “leave” leader and former London Mayor Boris Johnson used his column in the Daily Telegraph newspaper to urge unity and say “the negative consequences (of the vote) are being wildly overdone.”

He said Britain would forge “a new and better relationship with the EU — based on free trade and partnership, rather than a federal system.”

The vote, however, risks causing a political schism in the United Kingdom. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she would “consider” advising the Scottish Parliament to try to use its power to prevent Britain from actually leaving the EU. She said Scottish lawmakers might be able to derail the move by withholding “legislative consent” for a British exit, or Brexit.

“If the Scottish Parliament was judging this on the basis of what’s right for Scotland, then the option of saying ‘We’re not going to vote for something that is against Scotland’s interests,’ of course, that is on the table,” she said of the possibility of withholding consent.

Sturgeon said she believes Scotland’s approval is required for the move but conceded the British government would likely take “a very different view.”

Thursday’s U.K.-wide vote to leave the EU was very unpopular in Scotland, where 62 per cent cast ballots to stay, and Sturgeon says she is studying ways to keep Scotland part of the EU bloc.

The Scottish question looms large because Sturgeon also has said another referendum on Scottish independence from Britain is “highly likely” as a result of Britain’s EU vote. A Scottish referendum in 2014 ended with voters deciding to remain in Britain, but analysts believe Britain’s withdrawal from the EU may strengthen the independence movement.

In Northern Ireland, which also is part of the U.K., Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said his priority is forging “special arrangements” to enable Northern Ireland to maintain its EU ties. Some

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn leaves his house in London, Sunday. Corbyn seems to be facing a revolt by some members of his shadow cabinet, as a string of shadow ministers quit Sunday in protest at his leadership during the EU referendum campaign.

Brexit opponents have also talked of trying to use Northern Ireland’s Assembly to try to block Britain’s departure.

Northern Ireland voters also expressed a preference for keeping Britain in the EU. The unhappiness with the results in both Scotland and Northern Ireland is adding to the sense that the Brexit vote may over time lead to the breakup of the United Kingdom.

Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers, Cameron’s lead official in Belfast, played down the suggestion that the Scottish Parliament or the Northern Ireland Assembly had the standing to prevent a British departure from the EU. She said decision-making power resides solely in the British Parliament, which is expected to abide by the results of the referendum, which showed 52 per cent of British voters wanted out.

“In the weeks and months ahead, we will be working with both the Scottish government and the Northern Ireland executive on all these matters,” she told BBC. “But ultimately it is (the British) Parliament’s decision.”

Adam Tomkins, a law professor and member of the Scottish Parliament, agreed with this assess-

ment. The Conservative Party legislator tweeted that it was “nonsense” to suggest the Scottish party could block a British departure simply by withholding consent. The vote is already cutting short Cameron’s career. He said after the results that he will resign as prime minister when the Conservative Party chooses a new leader, who will be charged with implementing the separation from the EU. The new party leader, who will become prime minister, is expected to be in place by October. At that point, he or she may choose to call a quick election to solidify a mandate — and the prospect of an election in the near future may have spurred a revolt Sunday against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn that has been simmering for months.

Corbyn, a longtime critic of the EU who was criticized by many for doing a weak job presenting the party’s position favouring membership, for the first time faces an open rebellion from senior members of his “shadow cabinet” — the opposition party’s mirror government of senior lawmakers.

Eleven “shadow cabinet”members resigned Sunday after Corbyn fired shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn overnight for reportedly plotting a rebellion against him.

British expatriates fear for their future after EU vote

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BENIDORM, Spain — Tad Dawson’s pub in this Spanish vacation town was doing a brisk business in the summer sun. The only dark clouds he saw were coming from the bar’s TV, tuned to a British news channel.

Inside the Yorkshire Pride were many British tourists watching the screen as their prime minister announced his resignation Friday after the U.K. voted to leave the European Union.

Dawson, a 51-year-old Englishman who has lived in Spain since the 1990s, admits the decoupling of Britain from the EU other 27 member nations has him spooked.

His future is suddenly uncertain.

“We’re very scared because I’ve been here 23 years. I’ve got my house, my kids were born here, they went to a British-Spanish school, I’ve got a bar, I’ve got a lot to lose,” Dawson said at his pub, which was decked out with the red-and-white English flags featuring the St. George’s Cross.

EU leaders are due soon to begin unprecedented — and knotty — negotiations on how to extricate the U.K. from the bloc. Crucially for British expatriates, EU laws stipulate that the bloc’s citizens have the same rights as those nationals in any other member nation.

Nobody is saying what the rights of Britons liv-

ing in the EU might be in a future outside the bloc.

Dawson worries about losing his entitlements in Spain, which is part of the EU. “We don’t know how we’re going to be now,” he said. “We might have no pension. We might have no medical. We may have to sell our properties. We’ve lived here for a lot of years. We don’t know how it’s going to affect us anymore.”

An estimated 1.2 million Britons live in other EU countries, many of them in France, Spain and Portugal, according to Britain’s House of Commons library. But analysts reckon the true number could be at least double that — and maybe a lot more, because many don’t bother registering with their embassies or the local authorities.

Raquel Martins, an immigration lawyer at the Lisbon, Portugal, law firm of SRS Advogados, said the United Kingdom and the EU would now enter many months of negotiations to try to secure a reciprocity agreement that establishes legal guarantees for their citizens who live abroad.

“Nothing will happen right now. Nobody is going to be sent home,” she said. “What would make sense in my eyes is for there to be some kind of give-and-take and an agreement on reciprocal safeguards.”

Across Europe, British expats reacted with alarm, dismay and sadness after Thursday’s referendum on Britain’s EU exit, also known as Brexit.

“I am in a state of shock,” said Patrick Lamb, a

standup comedian who has lived in Austria for 17 years. “I am also concerned by what Brexit means for the longer-term future. The world seems very unstable.”

In Berlin, Dale Carr from Sheffield in northern England said she would request German nationality. She said she, her Scottish husband and her two British-passport holding children would apply for German citizenship to keep their EU entitlements.

“Otherwise, we have no rights. What am I to do with this British passport?” asked the 63-year-old who moved to Germany in 1978 and runs two British goods shops called Broken English.

Ian Tilling, the British chairman of the Casa Ioana charity for the homeless in Bucharest, said he felt an urge to “go off and burn my passport.”

He ticked off his pressing concerns: that Scotland would seek independence from the U.K. so it could stay in the EU that the United States would neglect relations with the U.K. in favour of the more powerful EU and that the EU itself might break up further.

Sheila MacDonald, a retiree from Edinburgh who lives in Portugal’s southern Algarve region, said local British expats are worried about forfeiting their access to Portuguese public health services and being unable to renew documents such as residence permits.

Looming larger for MacDonald, however, is the value of the British currency.

PARKS: Amalgamation Annual sales within that area have gone from $61 million in 2002 to $140 million in 2015, says Parks.

With the amalgamations that created Central Alberta Co-op in 2013, total sales reached $276 million in 2015 with nearly 800 employees and more than 70,000 members in nine communities, including Red Deer, Lacombe, Innisfail, Stettler, Blackfalds, Elnora, Spruce View, Crossfield and Castor.

Recent developments include construction of a new gas bar and convenience store in Blackfalds with work underway on another gas bar in Timberlands, says Parks.

Red Deer has also led the way in expanding into liquor sales, starting with an agreement “literally written on a napkin” at a local restaurant when the owner of the Deer Park liquor store decided to sell out, he says.

They struck a deal and Red Deer Co-op added additional liquor stores later on in Lacombe and at Taylor Plaza in Red Deer. New liquor stores in other Central Alberta Co-op communities are now being modelled after the Rocky Mountain House store, says Parks.

Ultimately, one of the factors that appeals to him as a lifetime employee of Co-op stores is the connection with the communities they serve. Co-op stores are the hub of the community in many of those smaller towns in Alberta and Saskatchewan, he says.

“Co-ops are a little different because our members do own us as well, so you pay attention to the members’ wants and needs and try and make some money. Co-ops can’t survive if they don’t make any money. We have the original patronage back (program) to our members. Everybody else has tried to copy us over the years with air miles, you name it, but we still give cash.”

Parks plans to hand in his keys on July 27, with Gerald Hiebert, currently the general manager in Vermilion, to slip into his well-worn chair. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Shipping in large volumes

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Spectators watch as the Neopanamax cargo ship, Cosco Shipping Panama, makes its way through Gamboa, Panama, Sunday. The ship, carrying more than 9,000 containers, entered the newly expanded locks that will double the canal’s capacity.

Panama opens new locks system

BY JUAN ZAMORANO AND KATHIA MARTINEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PANAMA CITY — Fireworks exploded as a huge container ship made an inaugural passage through the newly expanded Panama Canal on Sunday, formally launching the Central American nation’s multibillion-dollar bet on a bright economic future despite tough times for global shipping.

The Chinese-owned Cosco Shipping Panama passed through the Atlantic locks at Agua Clara in the early morning and in the afternoon completed the 80-km journey to the Pacific at the Cocoli locks near the capital, stewarded by tugboats and cheered by dignitaries and exuberant crowds of thousands.

The $5.25 billion project went online nearly two years late after construction delays, labour strife and apparent cost overruns, but officials were still bullish and in a celebratory mood as they declared the expanded canal open for business.

“This is an achievement that all of us Panamanians should be proud of,” President Juan Carlos Varela said at the inaugural ceremony on the outskirts of Panama City. “Today marks a historic moment for Panama, for our hemisphere and the world.”

“This new transit route is the tip of the iceberg in making Panama once again the logistics centre of the Americas,” canal administrator Jorge Luis Quijano said. “And it represents a significant opportunity for the countries of the region to improve their infrastructure, increase their exports.”

Crowds began gathering before dawn on both sides of the canal waving flags, partying to salsa music and watching videos on giant screens. Authorities said about 30,000 people and eight foreign heads of state attended.

“It’s a one-time experience, a great achievement,” said Felicia Penuela, a homemaker from Colon province.

“Panama is showing the world that even though it is a small country it can do great things.”

The Cosco Shipping Panama is a 158-foot-wide (48.2 metres), 984-footlong (300 metres) behemoth that is one of the modern New Panamax class of mega-vessels that are seen as the future of global shipping and will now be able to use the canal. It carried some 9,000 cargo containers during the inaugural voyage.

The waterway’s capacity doubles with the new locks, and canal authorities are hoping to better compete with the Suez Canal in Egypt and tap new markets such as natural gas shipments between the United States and Asia.

“The Panama Canal, with this expansion, is an important player not only for regional maritime commerce but worldwide,” said Oscar Bazan, the Panama Canal Authority’s executive vice-president for planning and commercial development. “The canal is a winning bet.”

Authorities said Sunday said that 85 per cent of the 166 reserved crossings scheduled for the next three months are for container ships. Container car-

go accounts for nearly 50 per cent of the canal’s overall income.

However, the party comes amid a lull in global shipping due to the drop in oil prices, an economic slowdown in China, which is the canal’s second-largest customer, and other factors that have hit the waterway’s traffic and income.

While authorities anticipate increasing commerce between Asia and ports on the U.S. East Coast, doubts remain that not all those ports are ready to handle the huge New Panamex-class cargo ships. Net cargo volume through the canal from the U.S. East Coast toward Asia fell 10.2 per cent in 2015, according to official statistics. Meanwhile, the Suez recently lowered tariffs by up to 65 per cent on large container carriers to keep its traffic.

Panama began the expansion nearly a decade ago. Planned to open in late 2014 around the waterway’s centennial, the new locks can accommodate ships that carry up to three times the cargo of the previous limit.

TransCanada takes next step in compensation battle THE CANADIAN PRESS

KEYSTONE PIPELINE CHALLENGE UNDER NAFTA

CALGARY — TransCanada Corp. is moving forward with its attempt to seek more than $15 billion compensation under the North American Free Trade Agreement following the U.S. government’s rejection of the company’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline.

The Calgary-based company made a formal request for arbitration from the International Centre for Settlement of Investment disputes under the trade deal on Friday, after giving notice of its intention to make the claim back in January.

The request says talks with the U.S. government to resolve the dispute began in April, but the two sides failed to reach an amicable settlement.

Similar to the notice TransCana-

da filed in January, the company alleges in the compensation request that the government concluded numerous times that the pipeline would not have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

Still, TransCanada contends the government rejected the pipeline to appear strong on climate change.

It alleges that, as a signatory to NAFTA, the U.S. government failed in its commitment to protect Canadian investors and ensure the company was treated in accordance with international law.

“At the time Keystone submitted its applications, the express policy of the United States was to expedite the

development of energy production and transmission projects including oil pipelines,” the formal request made on Friday states.

“That remains the official policy of the United States even today, despite the denials of Keystone’s applications.”

The document alleges the denial of the pipeline was politically motivated and contravened the precedent that was set by the approval of similar projects.

The White House and the State Department declined to comment on the NAFTA challenge when TransCanada gave notice of its intention to seek compensation in January.

The Obama administration rejected TransCanada’s application to build the Keystone XL pipeline last November.

The nearly 1,900-kilometre line was first proposed in 2008 and its aim was to expand an existing cross-border pipeline to give crude from the Alberta oilsands a more direct route to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.

During a seven-year debate, the project became a focal point for environmental protesters.

The U.S. has never lost a claim under the North American Free Trade Agreement, but some experts suggest the winning streak may not matter.

Jim Rubin, a partner at law firm Dorsey & Whitney in Washington, D.C., explained earlier this year that unlike a typical court case, NAFTA arbitration tribunals are not bound to follow precedents set in past cases.

Not always wise to take the summer off TALBOT BOGGS MONEYWISE “Sell in May and go away” is a well-known investment adage that warns investors to sell their stock holdings in May to avoid a seasonal decline and low trading volumes in equity markets.

Summer, however, may be a great opportunity to review your portfolio, re-examine your risk tolerance and generally see whether your investments are servicing your goals and needs correctly.

“For the average retail investor the advice to sell in May and go away till November implies an ‘all or nothing’ approach to investing, timing the market, and a move to cash,” says Cindy Crean, managing director of Sun Life Global Investment. “It might trigger an emotional reaction and it is not recommended to make such decisions based on emotion.”

According to Investopedia, the strategy behind Sell in May is that an investor who sells stock holdings in May and gets back into the equity markets in November avoids typically volatile May-October period and will end up being much better off than if they stay in equities throughout the year.

This strategy is based on the historical under-

performance of stocks in the six-month period commencing in May and ending in October, compared to the six-month period from November to April.

According to the Stock Trader’s Almanac, since 1950, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has had an average return of only 0.3 per cent during the May-October period compared with an average gain of 7.5 per cent during the November-April period.

There are limitations to implementing this strategy in practice, such as added transaction costs and possible tax implications of the rotating in and out of equities. Another drawback is that market timing and seasonality strategies do not always work out and the actual results may be very different from the theoretical ones.

While the exact reasons for this seasonal trading pattern are not known, lower trading volumes due to the summer vacation months and increased investment flows during the winter months are cited as contributing reasons for the discrepancy in performance during the May-October and November-April periods, respectively.

Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer and portfolio manager at Sun Life Global Investments, estimates trading volume declines by about 30 per cent during the summer season.

“Markets tend to have lower liquidity during the summer as investors are away and there seems to be a view (not shared by all) that markets decline over the summer,” he says. ”In that case consumer-orient-

ed sectors like consumer staples would hold up well where some of the higher price to earnings sectors such as technology would tend to lag.”

Crean recommends that investors work with an adviser or lean to actively-managed funds which are managed by professionals who have greater understanding and knowledge of market cycles and domestic and global economic conditions.

“What with uncertainty about the direction of U.S. interest rates, Brexit (Britain leaving the European Union) and the impact of oil prices many people are expecting a volatile summer,” Crean says “It’s important for you to become the advocate of your portfolio, to ask questions, re-examine why you’re in the investments you’re in and whether they are doing what you want them to do.”

“Summer is a good opportunity to revisit your portfolio and risk tolerance,” Adatia adds. “Reducing exposure may be okay but then the investor would also need to time when to get back in, which is never easy. This is where an asset allocation fund with a tactical component is better because experts who watch the markets on a regular basis can do that for you.”

Climate change forces a re-think of building design

“

You can’t put major electrical infrastructure below grade in a downtown office building in Calgary anymore.”

Ontario considers mandatory work experience programs for all its students EXPERT WORKFORCE PANEL RECOMMENDS CO-OP WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAM TO BRIDGE GAP BETWEEN WORKFORCE AND WORK WORLD

BY KEITH LESLIE THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — All Ontario high school, college and university students will have to participate in work co-op programs if the government keeps its promise to implement the recommendations from a panel of business and education experts.

The “highly skilled workforce expert panel” was set up last December to develop an integrated strategy to better link the education system with the future job needs of the province’s economy.

The panel recommends better partnerships between educators and employers to “bridge the gap between the skills industries need and what the workforce offers,” and suggests all students get “experiential learning” or work co-op placements.

“I completely support this recommendation because I believe that young people need to have experiential learning opportunities, both in the elementary and secondary panels, and in the post-secondary education panel,” said Premier Kathleen Wynne.

Former education minister Sean Conway, who headed the expert panel, said Ontario introduced the idea of university co-op programs to the world, and must expand it.

“There needs to be specific targets so that all high school students have at least one work experiential learning opportunity before they graduate the Kindergarten-to-Grade 12 system,” he said.

“And all students in post secondary education need to have at least one experiential learning opportunity before they graduate.”

David Billson, president and CEO of Ellipsis Digital in London, Ont., said the region’s technology and digital media sector “is starved for well-trained talent,” and companies are having trouble recruiting new employees.

“One of the hardest things for me as a business owner is to know that our unemployment rate is hovering around seven per cent in the region, when our local technology firms have between 400 to 1,000 open jobs,” said Billson.

“Helping us to be able to fill our talent gap will aid in ensuring a bright future for our sector.”

TORONTO — Severe weather events like wildfires and floods are becoming more frequent and more difficult to predict, forcing architects and engineers to rethink how they design buildings, infrastructure and cities.

Brock Schroeder, managing director of engineering firm Entuitive, says events such as the fire in Fort McMurray, and the floods that hit Alberta in 2013 have led to changes in how structures are designed in Canada.

“You can’t put major electrical infrastructure below grade in a downtown office building in Calgary anymore because of the risk of flooding,” says Schroeder.

“Now that (weather events) are becoming less predictable, you need to take a more performance-based approach to how you design a city or how you design a building. It can’t just be the way we’ve always done it before.”

While some of the changes are reactive, others are proactive — for example, using computer models to predict how a structure would fare in the event of an earthquake and designing it accordingly.

Technological advancements in recent years have made it easier for architects and engineers to use computer simulations that test how a particular building would withstand floods, fires, earthquakes

Three Rebels picked in draft

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF It wasn’t the easiest of seasons for both Josh Mahura and Conner Bleackley, but the two heard their names called during the National Hockey League draft.

Joined by Brandon Hagel, the three were the only Red Deer Rebels selected in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft in Buffalo, New York on Friday and Saturday.

The defenceman Mahura missed almost the entire 2015-16 Western Hockey League with a knee injury he sustained in his second game. On the shelf for 70 games, Mahura returned to the Rebels lineup in playoffs and during the Memorial Cup. On Saturday, Mahura was the first Rebel taken in the draft. The Anaheim Ducks selected the six-foot, 179 pound St. Albert native in the third round, 85th overall.

“I was in the kitchen and my parents were watching the TV and my phone rang, it was my agent,” said Ma-

hura. “While they were telling me, my name came up on the screen. It was really exciting.

“Anaheim is a first-class organization and I’m really excited to get to development camp next JOSH MAHURA week. I head out on Wednesday, I’m excited to get down there.”

In his last full season (2014-15), Mahura played 51 games, scoring two goals and six assists. He had one assist in his two regular season games in 2015-16 and two goals and two assists in the playoffs.

It wasn’t just injuries that plagued Bleackley’s tumultuous 2015-16 season.

A 2014 first round draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche, he lost the captaincy to start the season.

Then a knee injury in Januray sidelined him for six weeks.

While out of the lineup, the Avalanche traded Bleackley to the Arizona Coyotes as part of the Avs’ deal for Mikkel CONNER BLEACKLEY Boedker.

Still without an NHL contract, the Coyotes didn’t sign him. Bleackley re-entered the NHL draft and the Coyotes received a second-round draft pick as compensation.

A return to the ice lasted three weeks before Bleackley was injured again. This time is was a freak accident; a skate blade cut his wrist closing out the regular season.

But on Saturday, the St. Louis Blues gave the High River native another chance, taking him in the fifth round,

144th overall.

Bleackley tweeted: “Excited to be a part of the St. Louis Blues organization,” moments after he was taken in the draft.

In 55 games last season, Bleackley had BRANDON HAGEL 13 goals and 33 assists. The sixfoot-one, 192 pound centreman The last Rebel taken, Brandon Hagel, went in the six round, 159th overall to the Buffalo Sabres.

Hagel, a six-foot, 165 pound left winger, played all 72 regular season games for the Rebels.

He scored 13 goals and 34 assists.

In the playoffs he had one goal and 19 assists. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Ponoka Stampede: 80 years and counting DIANNE FINSTAD RODEO Back in 1936, when organizers of the original Ponoka Stampede put on their event, they probably hoped it would be enough of a success to go again the next year. Little could they imagine that 80 years later it would be the biggest rodeo on the Canadian pro scene, and a key stop on the World Pro Chuckwagon Tour. Nor would they have been able to envision how the town mushrooms Stampede week with an RV village full of fans from across the country. Those folks come for the same kind of wild and western sports and entertainment offered right from the start.

The Ponoka Stampede will pay tribute to its heritage with the 80th edition of the rodeo beginning tonight, encouraging participants, whether in the grandstand or behind the chutes, to dress like they did back in 1936.

“We’re having a special kickoff dinner tonight, saluting eighty years of Ponoka Stampede legends,” explained Mike Stretch, President of the Ponoka Stampede Association.

As well, there will be a special opening to the rodeo, featuring eighty riders with flags, Roman riders, and a buffalo act, reminiscent of the kind of entertainment featured in the early days of the event.

Keeping the town’s famous Ponoka Pride tradition alive and well in the arena is the next generation of some of the same families who were involved originally. Sprinkled throughout the program you’ll find a Vold and several Butterfields.

They all look forward to their town’s big event, but know the expectation is high to excel at their craft in front of friends and family. Handling such pressure is one of the regular tests of a sport which requires participants to channel their energies with pinpoint accuracy into performances that only last a few seconds.

Luke Butterfield knows well such pressure, but he has been taking a more relaxed approach to the mental game of rodeo this season. The 2012 Canadian saddle bronc champion has always set high standards for himself, and worked diligently to be the best at his game. But last year, things didn’t

go quite according to plan, and the 31-year-old missed the Canadian Finals for the first time in eight years. It was a disappointment, and a winter of work was an ideal time to re-evaluate.

“I’m trying to stay positive and have fun at rodeoing. I can’t do it the rest of my life, so take it serious, but enjoy it,” describes Butterfield of his attitude to saddle bronc riding this year.

“It was weird not making the Canadian Finals last year. I thought I rode good, it was just one of those years.

But you’ve got to just ride, and enjoy it. If you’re not having fun, you might as well not be doing it, because there’s other things to be doing in life.”

“I used to put so much into rodeo, to make a living. I poured my whole life into it, and it was hard not quite making your goals. I’m not the first guy that’s happened to. But it’s hard emotionally and I told myself now, let the chips falls where they are, and just try your hardest.”

“Rodeo has treated me good. I have to look at the positives, and not dwell on negatives like just missing the NFR. I have to look at what I’ve done and enjoy it.”

Butterfield’s ‘take it as it comes’ approach seems to be working, as he’s placed steadily as the season heats up, and is back among Canada’s top ten bronc riders in the standings. He added to that with paycheques from this weekend, including a big one from Sundre.

“Bronc riding is such a mental game when we get to this stage, so just get on and have fun. Don’t second guess yourself.”

Butterfield will ride at his hometown Ponoka Stampede tomorrow afternoon, when he nods his head for Kesler’s horse Country Trail.

Canadian bareback champion Jake Vold gets his chance at another Ponoka title with a ride Wednesday afternoon. He’s also the subject of the original oil painting which will be auctioned off July 1st at the Western Art Auction at the Stampede. The painting has been reprinted as this year’s Ponoka Stampede poster.

The Ponoka Stampede also hosted a big PBR Canada event Saturday night, attracting Canada’s best bull riders.

Jordan Hansen of Okotoks emerged the big winner there, when he became the only rider to cover both his bulls.

In the Finals, he rode a bull called Red Mile from Outlaw Buckers to 89.5 points. His take-home pay from the Ride, Rock & Roll PBR was worth

Hometown cowboy Tyler Pankewitz gets a little air, but holds his form on Shakin Hands to earn the top mark — 87.5 — in the opening go-round of the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) event in Ponoka on Saturday night (June 25).

Unfortunately, he was bucked off just before the horn in the final, which saw Okotoks’ Jordan Hansen as the only cowboy to stick his ride to win the $40,000 top prize. The PBR was the opening act to the 80th Ponoka Stampede which gets underway today. $11,543, plus he took home an additional $2100 in ground money for being the only one to stay on in the Finals.

Tonight’s rodeo performance at Ponoka starts at 6:30 pm. Tomorrow, and right through Sunday, July 3rd, rodeo begins daily at 1:00 pm, with the WPCA

chuckwagon racing beginning nightly at 6:30 pm. The $105,000 Stampede Showdown and the $50,000 Tommy Dorchester Dash for Cash Finals take place at 6:30 pm July 3rd.

Sale dominant as Blue Jays fall to White Sox

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS White Sox 5 Blue Jays 2 CHICAGO — Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman knew he had to pitch well with Chris Sale on the mound for the Chicago White Sox. He wasn’t nearly good enough.

Stroman allowed four runs in five innings, and the Blue Jays lost 5-2 to Sale and the White Sox on Sunday.

“Sale is pretty much dominant every time out,” Stroman said. “Obviously, you know who you’re going against and you know it’s going to be a tough task for the offence. … You have to be at your best to take your team deep into games, so I didn’t do that today. It’s frustrating.”

Sale (13-2) pitched eight innings of two-run ball to become the majors’ first 13-game winner. The ace lefthander allowed five hits, struck out seven and walked two in his fourth straight victory.

“I felt good,” Sale said. “It was nice to get some quick outs and just try to roll with it. When you get into a groove, you just try to ride it out as best you can.”

Sale was working on a shutout before Troy Tulowitzki homered down the left-field line with one out in the eighth. After Kevin Pillar struck out, Junior Lake made it 4-2 with a drive to left-centre.

Sale threw 67 of his 99 pitches for strikes. The Blue Jays were aggressive early in the count.

“You have no choice because he throws strikes,” Tulowitzki said. “If you don’t offer early, you’re going to be behind in the count. Everybody knows how good his putaway pitches are. He was tough.”

Stroman (6-4) walked four and struck out four. “(Stroman) drew a tough assignment today. He almost had to be perfect,” manager John Gibbons said. “Sale is definitely one of the best, no doubt about that.”

Melky Cabrera and Adam Eaton each drove in a run for Chicago, which bounced back nicely after it hit seven solo homers in a frustrating 10-8 loss on Saturday. David Robertson pitched a perfect ninth for his 20th save in 22 chances.

Calgary caps busy June with Elliott trade NHL ENTRY DRAFT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s been a busy month and an even busier draft weekend for the Calgary Flames.

The Flames made nine picks over the course of two days in Buffalo, used another selection in the acquisition of a new starting goaltender, and hired a head coach earlier in June.

Matthew Tkachuk led the fleet of selections at the NHL draft, a scoring winger from the juggernaut London Knights junior program. Tkachuk scored 20 goals in 18 playoffs games, adding a pair of goals in the Memorial Cup championship game, including the overtime winner.

The 18-year-old son of long-time NHL power forward Keith Tkachuk and one of five players from the St. Louis area selected in the first round, Tkachuk adds another skillful young piece to a Flames complement that already includes Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau and Sam Bennett.

Calgary knew Tkachuk would fall to the No. 6 hole when Columbus passed on Jesse Puljujarvi with the third overall pick, selecting French-Canadian forward Pierre-Luc Dubois instead.

“Kid’s kind of pain in the ass,” Flames president Brian Burke said of Tkachuk, who was overly enthused to join the club, describing them as his desired landing spot. “We don’t have enough guys who are pains in the ass.

And the way I like to play, I like guys who are pains in the ass.”

Addressing Needs: Edmonton Oilers go heavy on defencemen in Day 2 of draft

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — The NHL Draft is all about filling needs and the Edmonton Oilers stuck to that plan on Saturday.

With a glaring need to add organizational blue-line depth, the Oilers

Flames general manager Brad Treliving said Tkachuk symbolized the kind of player Calgary tried to draft over the weekend: competitive, skilled talents who can think the game.

“Everybody talks about his brawn and his ability to score, but this guy, he’s got an elite mind,” Treliving said of Tkachuk, who finished fifth in OHL scoring during the regular season. “He can play with top players, he can think the game at a high level and he plays in the areas that aren’t fun to play in.”

After dealing the 35th overall pick along with a conditional third round selection in 2018 for St. Louis Blues veteran goalie Brian Elliott, Calgary ended up using all eight of their other selections on Saturday. Treliving said he sensed a static trade market, telling his draft day team to “lock in” and get ready to make every pick.

With their first selection in the second round, the 54th overall, the Flames added Tkachuk’s Knights teammate, goaltender Tyler Parsons. A Michigan native, Parsons led the OHL with a 2.33 goals-against average and .921 save percentage last season.

He’s another long-term option in goal for the club, joining American netminder Jon Gillies, who missed most of last season after mid-season hip surgery.

“Our guys were screaming at me as the picks were coming up that if he’s there they wanted to grab him,” Treliving said of Parsons, describing the goalie as competitive and athletic with a winning pedigree.

Calgary solved its current needs in goal through the acquisition of Elliott, formerly one half of the Blues goaltending tandem. The 31-year-old has selected a trio of towering defencemen in the third round.

“I just think the more defence we can get, the better,” said Oilers’ general manager Peter Chiarelli. “They take longer to develop. We want to continue to stockpile depth.”

Edmonton’s third-round run of defencemen started with Markus Niemelainen at No. 63. The six-footsix native of Finland played last season with the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit, collecting 27 points in 65 games with a franchise that experienced a multitude of off-ice issues.

“He’s big, he can skate, he can move the puck, and he likes to play

It’s been a busy month and an even busier draft weekend for the Calgary Flames.The Flames made nine picks over the course of two days in Buffalo, used another selection in the acquisition of a new starting goaltender, and hired a head coach earlier in June.

Kelowna Rockets Swedish centre Linus Lindstrom big six-foot-four USHL centre Mitchell Mattson and Matthew Phillips, a diminutive centreman from Calgary who posted 76 points in 72 WHL games.

The Flames selected a pair of defencemen: American Adam Fox, who’s attending Harvard in the fall and compares his game to Colorado point man Tyson Barrie, and later Stepan Falkovsky, a Belarusian who debuted for the Ottawa 67’s last season.

the second-best save percentage in the league over the past seasons, finishing with a .930 last year.

“He’s had to fight for the net in St. Louis because management (there) has always felt there’s a goaltender there that’s his equal,” Burke said.

“That’s certainly not the situation with us.”

Beyond the crease, the Flames added four centres at the draft, including Western League pivot Dillon Dube, who put up a point a game for the with some offensive flair,” said Bob Green, Edmonton’s director of player personnel. “We don’t think the numbers he put up this year are indicative of his talent level. There’s more there than just a big body.”

Up next at No. 84 was six-foot-two Matthew Cairns, who spent last season with Georgetown of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. Cairns was previously coached by Oilers legend Paul Coffey in Minor Midget AAA with Mississauga, and is expected to play in the USHL with Muskegon next season before heading to Cornell University.

Edmonton closed out the third

round with the addition of six-footthree Filip Berglund from Skelleftea of the Swedish Junior League.

The right-handed shooting Berglund scored 41 points in 43 games last season. The Oilers stayed local for their first pick of the day, selecting Edmonton-native Tyler Benson from the WHL’s Vancouver Giants at No. 32.

The left-winger and Giants’ captain scored 28 points in 30 games during an injury-riddled season for Vancouver that dropped the likely first-rounder into Edmonton’s lap in round two. Benson described the injury as a “groin and hip flexor issue” that was affecting his skating.

ON THE MOVE After the game, the Blue Jays recalled right-hander Ryan Tepera from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned lefthander Chad Girodo to their top farm club.

NET RESULT One day after Blue Jays reliever Jason Grilli barely reacted in time to stab a line drive that was headed for his face, he called for increased safety measures for fans.

“I don’t see how the nets can’t be extended down the foul lines in every park,” Grilli said. “That’s where the most balls come into the stands at 110 miles per hour while a lot of fans are on their cellphones.”

TRAINER’S ROOM Blue Jays: RHP Gavin Floyd was placed on the 15-day disabled list with shoulder tightness and RHP Bo Schultz was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo. Schultz pitched the eighth on Sunday. … 1B Justin Smoak (left knee) was out of the lineup for a third straight game. … OF Jose Bautista (swollen big toe) is making progress, but there is no timetable for his return.

UP NEXT Blue Jays: RHP Marco Estrada (5-3, 2.70 ERA) takes the mound as Toronto opens a three-game series at Colorado. He’ll face RHP Jon Gray (4-3, 4.80 ERA).

White Sox: After a day off on Monday, LHP Jose Quintana (5-7, 3.04 ERA) will try to win for the first time since May 8 when the White Sox open a three-game home set against Minnesota and RHP Kyle Gibson (0-5, 6.05 ERA). Quintana is 0-6 with a 4.50 ERA over his last eight starts.

Lions take down Stampeders

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Lions 20 Stampeders 18 Winning hasn’t gotten old for Wally Buono. Chris Rainey brought a punt back 72 yards for a touchdown and ran in another score as the B.C. Lions defeated the Calgary Stampeders 20-18 in Buono’s return to the sidelines Saturday to close out Week 1 of the season.

“It takes a lot of hard work to win,” said Buono.

“Sometimes you’ve got to be nice to people, sometimes you’ve got to be hard with people. Tonight was a perfect example of all of that.”

The 66-year-old, who set a new CFL record by starting a 23rd CFL season as a head coach, is back in charge for the first time since 2011 after the club parted ways with the one-and-done Jeff Tedford following a disappointing 2015. Buono — also B.C.’s general manager and vice-president of football operations — added to his all-time mark with the 255th victory of his career, but it wasn’t pretty. The Lions had a jaw-dropping three punts blocked or partially blocked in the first half, but still managed to pick up the win thanks to strong defence, some big plays, and a grinding ground game late.

“Whether it was my first win or my whatever, winning is still fun,” said Buono. “When you win at home, when you win under the pressure that the guys were under, when you play a good football team and you come back, there’s a lot to be proud of, but there’s a lot to look at and fix.”

Richie Leone was 2 of 3 on field goals and quarterback Jonathon Jennings connected on a two-point conversion with Nick Moore to round out the scoring for the Lions.

“We just kept fighting and guys continued to believe that we were going to win,” said Jennings, who finished 24-of-42 passing for 248 yards. “Wally’s been talking about just compete, compete, compete.”

Kamar Jorden and Jerome Messam scored touchdowns for Calgary in rookie head coach Dave Dickenson’s debut, while Rene Parades hit one field goal, missed two others for singles, and was 1 of 2 on extra points.

Redblacks win Grey Cup rematch

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Redblacks 45 Eskimos 37 (OT) EDMONTON — Signing Trevor Harris as a free agent to back up Henry Burris at quarterback has already paid big dividends for the Ottawa Redblacks.

Harris came in as relief and passed for three touchdowns as the Redblacks beat the Edmonton Eskimos 45-37 in overtime on Saturday in a rematch of last year’s Grey Cup. Redblacks starting quarterback Burris banged his right hand on the helmet of an opposing player and went down the next play during a handoff exchange in the third quarter and left the game, opening the door for Harris.

“That’s why we signed the guy,” said Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell of bringing Harris in from Toronto.

“He is a pretty cool customer and doesn’t get fazed out there.

“He is a true team player. Both he and Henry have been excellent in that they both want the team to win and good on him for stepping in and being ready to play. It’s a huge comfort knowing we have two guys who can step in and get it done.”

Harris completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Brad Sinopoli to start the extra session and Ottawa

kept the Eskimos off the board in their attempt at a response.

He finished the game 17-of-19 passing for 292 yards. Burris was 23-of-31 for 258 yards and a TD before getting hurt.

Burris was also impressed with the performance of Harris when he went down.

“There was a little swelling from hitting that helmet and I just wanted to make sure there was no additional swelling, but Trevor was doing a good job and there was no need for me to rush back,” he said.

“He is a great young kid who has a bright future ahead of him. This is only the beginning for him.”

It was the first win for an Ottawa team in Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium since 1983.

“I’m not hanging my head, I don’t think anyone in this locker-room is hanging our head about this,” said Eskimos head coach Jason Maas.

“If I was mad about anything in this game, it was we had five 15-yard penalties and that’s points for the other team every time you do that, generally.

That’s what pisses me off, but at the end of the day, we learn from that.”

The game started slow, as Ottawa held a 3-1 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Ottawa remains on the road in Week 2, travelling to Montreal to face the Alouettes on Thursday. The Esks have a bye next week.

PARIS — France, Germany and Belgium sealed their places in the quarterfinals of the European Championship on Sunday as three of the pre-tournament favourites lived up to their promise.

There was a scare for the host nation after Ireland scored a second minute penalty, but Antoine Griezmann struck twice after the break to give France a deserved 2-1 victory in Lyon.

While France was made to work hard to advance, Germany had no such difficulties in a polished 3-0 victory over Slovakia, while Eden Hazard inspired Belgium to what ended up as a crushing 4-0 win over Hungary.

The goals and the quality of the football over the three games were a marked improvement on the dire performances witnessed on Saturday when Poland, Wales and Portugal advanced.

The relief was palpable at the Stade de Lyon after France finally overwhelmed an Ireland side that had led through Robbie Brady’s spot-kick, after France midfielder Paul Pogba bundled Shane Long to the ground.

Ireland chased for every ball and worked tirelessly to defend its slender lead. But Griezmann’s two goals in the space of three minutes midway through the second half saw the natural order restored, and a red card for Shane Duffy in the 66th minute all but ended the contest.

“When Ireland took the lead it made us a bit more uncomfortable in the first half,” France coach Didier Deschamps acknowledged.

“They showed a lot of enthusiasm, but we had to dig deep, get through the situation and get in front.”

France’s reward is a quarterfinal next Sunday at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis against either England or Iceland, which play in Monday’s late kickoff.

Germany scored early and never looked back against a Slovakia side that had surprisingly beaten Joachim Loew’s world champions in a friendly last month.

COPA AMERICA

Chile wins 2nd straight Copa America title as Messi misses EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Lionel Messi still awaits his first title with Argentina’s national team.

Messi put his penalty kick over the crossbar, Francisco Silva converted Chile’s shootout finale and La Roja won their second straight Copa America title by beating Argentina 4-2 on penalty kicks following a 0-0 tie Sunday night.

Playing two days after his 29th birthday, Messi lost a final for the third year in a row following an extra-time defeat to Germany in the 2014 World Cup and a penalty-kicks loss to host Chile in last year’s Copa America. The five-time FIFA Player of the Year has won four Champions League titles and eight La Liga crowns with Barcelona, but has never taken a trophy with Argentina’s senior team.

For its 100th anniversary, South America’s championship was expanded to 16 nations and played in the United States, and Argentina was hoping to win its first major title since 1993.

In an ill-tempered match that included an ejection on each side and eight yellow cards, the match was scoreless through regulation and 30 minutes of extra time, with Argentina’s Gonzalo Higuain missing a clear goal-scoring opportunity for the third straight final. Argentina outshot Chile 16-4. Messi, who scored five goals in the tournament, had a free kick 28 yards out in the 115th minute after Francisco SIlva fouled him, but the ball deflected off the wall and over the crossbar.

Too much for a straw

BY LOIS ABRAHAM THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Peoe ple who crave more crunch and texture in a ng smoothie are swapping straws for spoons and eating the ingredients out of a bowl.

Colourful smoothie bowls coction — basically a concoction able puof a fruit and vegetable angement ree topped by an arrangement nd seeds — of fresh fruit, nuts and are artful creations being eagerly tors on social shared by their creators media.

“They’re beautifull to photograph o photographing and people are so into s, sharing it on their food these days, m, so something Pinterest or Instagram, that doesn’t require a lot of effort, asy on the eyes, tastes good and is easy graph, you’ve got looks good in a photograph, istered dietitian a win there,” says registered Cara Rosenbloom. lthy way to eat, They’re also a healthy says Elaine Nessman, who shares her ns — strawberry smoothie bowl creations ric, carrot cake chia, tropical turmeric, e some examples and mocha almond are — on her blog Flavour and Savour. d in to us by nu“We’ve had it drilled fast is the most tritionists that breakfast e day for years important meal of the and years and I can hide healthy ingredients like kale in a smoothie bowl ’t normally have even though I wouldn’t something like that for breakfast,” owichan Bay on Nessman says from Cowichan Vancouver Island.

They’re quick to whip up and interesting too.

“I can create a variety of flavour and texture combinations with whatever I have in the fridge or whatever’s in the garden or whatever I’m in the mood for that day,” Nessman adds.

“The other thing I really like is they keep me full for hours because I add a lot of protein-rich foods like hemp and chia into them.”

Shake up breakfast with a smoothie bowl.

The combinations are endless.

It’s easy. Make a smoothie, but reduce the fluid content so it’s extra thick.

Pour it in a small bowl and add toppings, so you’re eating rather than drinking your meal.

It’s similar to cereal and milk, but without any processed or refined grains, and with an infusion of wholefood nuts, seeds and fruit, says registered dietitian Cara Rosenbloom.

Even though the ingredients are healthy, she cautions that eating large quantities can provide too many calories.

Use a small bowl and limit the toppings.

For children, use a 250-ml (1cup) serving bowl for the smoothie, and top it with 15 ml (1 tbsp) each of nuts, seeds and fruit. That will make a well-rounded kid-sized breakfast (about 300 calories).

Elaine Nessman, who writes the blog Flavour and Savour, provides this checklist of smoothie components.

Choose your favourites: Liquid: Water, milk (any type, regular or nut milk), juice or green tea.

MOCHA ALMOND SMOOTHIE BOWL This smoothie bowl is brimming with almond milk and chia seeds, sweetened with dates and gets a kick from Nessman’s secret ingredient: a little leftover coffee from the pot.

“That mere ¼ cup of coffee transforms this smoothie bowl from chocolate to mocha in two seconds flat,” she says. If you’re not a coffee drinker, leave it out. ½ ripe banana, fresh or frozen 175 ml (¾ cup) almond or other milk 50 to 125 ml (¼ to ½ cup) brewed coffee 15 ml (1 tbsp) almond butter 15 ml (1 tbsp) cocoa 15 ml (1 tbsp) chia seeds 2 Medjool dates, pitted 2 ice cubes Garnish: Flaked almonds, sliced banana, fresh or frozen raspberries Put all ingredients except garnish in a high-speed blender and process until smooth. You may have to scrape the sides once partway through.

Pour into a bowl. It will thicken within an hour or two. Garnish with almonds, banana slices and raspberries.

Makes 1 serving.

The sweetness of the mango takes away any bitterness of the greens in this recipe, says Lewis.

Use leftover coconut milk in soup recipes, Thai recipes, hot chocolate and breakfast cereal.

If you prefer, you can use storebought granola to top your smoothie bowl.

50 mL (¼ cup) unsweetened coconut milk beverage ½ frozen banana, cut into pieces if necessary 75 ml (1/3 cup) frozen chopped mango 250 ml (1 cup) trimmed kale leaves 30 ml (2 tbsp) unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut Ice cubes (optional) Suggested Toppings: Sliced banana, blueberries, raspberries Unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut Chia seeds In a blender, combine coconut milk, banana, mango, kale and coconut. Secure lid and blend (from low to high if using a variable-speed blender) until smooth. If a thicker consistency is desired, add ice, one cube at a time, and blend until smooth.

Pour into a bowl and top with any of the suggested toppings, as desired.

Makes 1 serving.

Ontario woman becomes Iceland’s first lady THE CANADIAN PRESS Voters in Iceland have elected a new president, and in doing so have made a Canadian woman the Nordic nation’s new first lady.

Gudni Johannesson has been declared the winner of Sunday’s vote, which means his wife will assume the first lady’s role.

Eliza Reid — who grew up in the Ottawa Valley — met Johannesson when they were both studying history in England.

The pair moved to Iceland in 2003, married a year later and now have four children.

Reid, 40, who works as a writer and editor,

recently said she believed her Canadian background helped her husband’s campaign because she doesn’t try to be something she’s not, and that appeals to people.

Johannesson — a history professor who has never before held public office — joined the presidential race in April with a promise to restore the nation’s trust in the political system after demonstrations called for the resignation of the prime minister amid a scandal involving offshore accounts.

Reid said she felt welcomed by Icelandic society and would consider it a tremendous honour to be first lady.

Flooded communities ‘smell like death’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANSTED, W.Va. — As West Virginians continued surveying damage in a state so devastated by floods that one said her community “smelled like death,” residents braced for the prospect of more rain.

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for 22 West Virginia counties on Monday. Heavy rains were possible in many areas already ravaged by last week’s floods that have killed 24 people statewide.

The forecast didn’t include hardest-hit Greenbrier County, where 16 people have died and floodwaters have yet to recede.

Dozens of residents of flooded-out Rainelle remained Sunday at a shelter more than 40 km away at the Ansted Baptist Church, where singing from inside mixed with the bustle of activity outside.

For now, it’s home for Jerry Reynolds, his wife, Janice, and his brother, Marcus Reynolds.

Janice Reynolds said she drove back to Rainelle on Saturday to survey the damage. She said her home was destroyed, a vehicle was lost in the floodwaters and the community “smelled like death.”

Jerry Reynolds says the flood was “the worst thing I’ve ever seen.” But as he sat in his car at the shelter, he declared that “we’re survivors.

We’ll make it.”

Among those taking advantage of the shelter’s kennel was T.J. Parker of Rainelle and his pet Titan.

Parker said he and Titan had to swim four blocks to safety. Along the way, he stopped to rescue an elderly man calling for help and

WEST VIRGINIA brought him through floodwaters to a fire department. Parker said he had to go under water and hold his breath to support the man, then come up for air.

“I realize that sounds crazy, but you have to do what you have to do at that time,” Parker said.

Authorities have yet to start sizing up the flood damage in West Virginia. But it is drawing comparisons to November 1985 floods that remain the state’s most expensive natural disaster with more than $570 million in damage.

“This is the worst I’ve ever seen,” said Fayette County Sheriff’s Sgt. Bill Mooney, who served in the National Guard during massive floods in 2000-01. “Nobody expected 7 inches of (rain) in three hours.”

Federal money will be part of the rebuilding equation. Sunday marks the first day people can apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency aid in the three worst-hit counties of Greenbrier, Kanawha and Nicholas.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s administration still believes there are people missing in Greenbrier County, chief of staff Chris Stadelman said.

Flooding at The Greenbrier resort prompted the PGA Tour to cancel a tournament there next week.

President Barack Obama’s signature Saturday on the federal disaster declaration lets residents in the three counties get aid for temporary housing and home repairs, receive low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and qualify for other assistance.

Somali cabinet minister with ties to Canada dies in bombing

BY ABDI GULED THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOGADISHU, Somalia — A Somali cabinet minister with links to Canada is among the 15 killed in an Islamic extremist attack on a hotel in the capital, police say.

Four attackers also died in the assault which was claimed by al-Shabab, Somalia’s militant rebels who are allied to al-Qaida.

State Minister for the Environment, Buri Hamza, was among those killed, said Capt. Mohamed Hussein, a senior Somali police officer.

Hamza died when his hotel room collapsed Saturday because of the powerful car bomb which extremists used to blast their way into the Nasa-Hablod Hotel.

A biography on the York University website in Toronto said Hamza obtained a master of environmental studies at the school. Two media reports said Hamza lived in the Toronto-area with his family for a period of time. The office of Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion could not immediately comment on Hamza’s Canadian ties.

At least 34 people were injured, according to

police and hospital sources.

It’s the second attack on a hotel since the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in early June. Both attacks have been claimed by al-Shabab.

The attacks have raised concerns about the security of hotels in the seaside capital which has seen numerous attacks by al-Shabab in recent years.

“The trend and lethality of such attacks suggest how vulnerable the security of hotels and the city in general are now,” said Mohamed Sheikh Abdi, a Somali political analyst.

“Many residents now shun going to hotels that provide some of the few sources of entertainment available in Mogadishu,” he said. At hotels, patrons smoke shisha (tobacco) in water pipes, enjoy dance music and play games such as dominoes and dice.

Mogadishu resident Ahmed Ali said that he has stopped going to hotels as they are seen as “death traps because they are favourite targets for al-Shabab … Having fun at hotels is good but my safety comes first.”

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud condemned the attacks in a statement Sunday.

OPEN STUDIO TOUR

Dory overwhelms alien invaders at box office

BY JAKE COYLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The tidal wave of Finding Dory overwhelmed the sputtering sequel Independence Day: Resurgence, as the alien-invasion redux was drowned out by the popular Pixar release in North American theatres.

In its second week, Finding Dory easily remained on top with an estimated $73.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That far surpassed the $41.6 million opening of Resurgence, which debuted well off the pace off its 1996 original. The first Independence Day opened with $50.2 million, or about $77 million in inflation-adjusted dollars.

Of the week’s other debuts, the Blake Lively shark thriller The Shallows rode a wave of good reviews to a better-than-expected $16.7 million for Sony. Matthew McConaughey’s Civil War drama Free State of Jones, however, disappointed with just $7.7 million, dealing a blow to the upstart studio STX Entertainment.

In a weekend full of ups and downs, the opening of Independence Day was the most closely watched debut. Long pegged as one of 20th Century Fox’s tentpoles of the season, it had once been expected to be one of the summer’s biggest movies.

A proud popcorn movie, directed, like the first Independence Day, by Roland Emmerich, Resurgence brought back much of the original cast with the significant exception of Will Smith. Without him, the sequel doesn’t appear likely to match the $817.4 million global haul of the original.

Chris Aronson, head of distribution for Fox, acknowledged the result was “on the lower side of our prognostications.” Resurgence, however, took in $102 million abroad, where it — ironically, for a movie named after the United States’ declaration of independence — is doing better business.

“We always expected international to carry the baton,” Aronson said.

Fox, perhaps smarting from the critical reaction to its recent release X-Men: Apocalypse, took the unusual move of not screening the film for critics before release. Such an approach comes with its own risks, too — even bad reviews can be good publicity — but Aronson maintained the strategy didn’t hurt the film’s release.

Independence Day: Resurgence, which cost $165 million to produce, is yet another sequel to struggle this summer, joining the likes of Alice Through the Looking Glass and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

Motivational event got too hot THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — More than 30 people who attended an event with motivational speaker Tony Robbins have been treated for burns after Robbins encouraged them to walk on hot coals as a way of conquering their fears.

Five people were taken to a hospital Thursday night, while the rest were treated at the scene for burns to their feet and lower extremities, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said.

The hot coals were spread outside the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center as part of a four-day Robbins seminar called

“Unleash the Power Within.” It’s a regular part at Robbins’ seminars — more than 20 people were treated for burns after an event in 2012 in San Jose, California.

Paul Gold of West Palm Beach, Florida, suffered second-degree burns on both feet that will take about two weeks to heal, he told The Associated Press on Friday from a burn unit. It was the second time he’s walked on hot coals the first he described as a “very good experience” at a Robbins seminar a few months ago.

He said the difference Thursday was that it appeared staff members didn’t allow the coals to cool enough before adding more to the pile, which was about a me-

tre wide and about five metres long. He realized halfway through his walk over the coals that he’d suffered burns.

“In hindsight, jumping off would have been a fantastic idea,” he said. “But when you’re in the spirit of the moment, you’re kinda focused on one task.”

After his walk, Gold, 44, said it felt like someone had “taken a hot iron and pressed it against my feet.” He also said he saw a girl who was crying and others complaining of burns.

“I’m not even sure I could do it again, because now I have this massive fear of fire,” he said, adding later that he still believes Robbins helps a lot of people.

Pioneer of that high lonesome sound, Ralph Stanley, dead at 89 SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE When Ralph Stanley died on Thursday at age 89, we lost more than the last surviving founding father of bluegrass. We lost one of our last links to a pre-television North America.

He was a short, gaunt man in a white cowboy hat and gray suit, his features seemingly chipped from granite with a stony gaze to match. When he sang O Death at Wolf Trap in 2006 as part of the Great High Mountain Tour, Stanley’s scratchy high tenor made the Grim Reaper sound like an acquaintance of long standing.

This traditional lament had revived his career when he sang it in the Coen brothers’ 2000 movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? but Stanley’s ghostly vocal made clear that the song was older than that movie, older than the whole history of talking movies.

Even in the 21st century, there was an echo in his voice of 19th-century mining and lumbering (his father worked in a sawmill) and of the 17th-century songs that immigrants from the British Isles brought to the Appalachian Mountains.

In the southwest corner of Virginia, in Dickerson County under the shadow of Clinch Mountain, that Ralph Stanley was born on Feb. 25, 1927. Together with his brother Carter, two years older, Ralph learned the eerie harmonies of a cappella Sacred Harp singing in church and the spry rhythms of oldtime string-band music at dances.

Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys performs as part of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California. Stanley, the last of the originators of bluegrass music, died Thursday at the age of 89.

“Three groups really shaped bluegrass music,” Ricky Skaggs told me in 1998. “Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, the Stanley Brothers and Flatt & Scruggs. Everyone who came after them was just following in their footsteps… . Ralph’s still out there 150

dates a year; he’s the last of the giants still in action.”

Monroe was the initial trailblazer, and his records on the radio so impressed the teenage Carter and Ralph that they formed the Stanley Brothers in 1946 to play the same kind of

music. But if Monroe perfected the instrumental side of bluegrass, it was Carter and Ralph who perfected the vocal side: the close-interval harmony singing that was soon and accurately labeled “high and lonesome.”

“I still like singing more than picking,” Ralphsaid in 1999. “There are plenty of good musicians, but singers are scarce. That high, lonesome sound we do goes back to that old Baptist style. I was raised in those old Baptist churches where they didn’t allow any instruments. We learned to sing without any backing. In 1970, I became the first person to sing bluegrass a cappella. Now they’re all doing it.”

After Carter’s death in 1966, Ralph continued on with Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys, a band that was still performing into 2016. It was in this post-Carter era that Ralph won a Grammy Award, a National Medal of the Arts and two honorary doctorates.

After the first in 1976, he was always introduced on stage as “Dr. Ralph Stanley.”

“I don’t put nothing on the song,” Ralph told me. “I just sing it the way I feel it. I just open my mouth and however it sounds, that’s the way it comes out. I try to do it the best I can, but I just try to feel it… . Those old songs don’t sugarcoat anything. You don’t hear that kind of singing much anymore, but when I was growing up, it was mostly what I heard. That sound’s not spread out everywhere; it’s just here in these mountains.”

Right person, wrong club, no guilt KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: “Iris” and I have been friends for 20 years. She is married, retired and has grown children. I have a long-term boyfriend and a full-time job.

I don’t see Iris as often as I used to.

We never really did much except socialize at a local private club.

That was when I was married to my ex-husband. He still goes to this club, and we get along, but I’d rather not sit and have drinks with him all night.

But Iris refuses to go to a different club where I have a membership, and if I go without her, she makes me feel

guilty. She says we never see each other and tells me I’m a bad friend. I want to cry. I would do anything for Iris.

But lately, her disapproval is so overwhelming that I dread being around her. I’ve invited Iris and her husband to my home numerous times, but they’ve only come once. That leaves her private club to socialize. I’d like us to stay friends, but I no longer know how to deal with her. Any suggestions?

— Guilty Friend in Florida Dear Friend: Anyone who tries to make you feel guilty primarily for his or her own benefit is being manipulative. If you want to stay friends with Iris, you will need a tougher skin.

When she pours on the guilt, simply say as nicely as possible, “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Repeat as often as necessary.

Iris already knows why you don’t want to go to her preferred club and

NEWS IN BRIEF

Turkey uses tear gas to break up gay pride gathering ISTANBUL — Police in Istanbul used tear gas and detained activists who gathered Sunday to issue a statement to mark gay pride week after authorities banned their rally in the city.

At least 19 activists were rounded up, organizers said.

Dozens of activists assembled on Istanbul’s main pedestrian street to publicly read a statement marking the end of the gay, lesbian and transgender pride week and to denounce the ban.

Several of them were detained however, before they could speak.

Turkish police later used tear gas and rubber pellets to chase activists from side streets.

Istanbul’s governor banned both last week’s Trans Pride March and Sunday’s broader LGBT pride pa-

If Iris truly wants to spend more time with you, she will accept your invitations to meet at the other club, go to your house or visit in a neutral location.

Dear Annie: “Waking Up” complained about a friend who talks a lot and constantly interrupts her. I have a friend with a similar motormouth problem. She grew up in a dysfunctional family and her childhood was chaotic.

My friend talks a lot, talks over others and always attempts to steer the conversation her way. I told her that she should let others speak and quit interrupting, but there was little change. Finally, at my wits’ end, I told

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The more proactive and experimental you are — especially at work — then the more successful you’ll be. If you are uncertain how to handle a loved one, let your intuition show you the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): With the stars activating your international and peer group zones, make sure you enjoy the foreign friends and acquaintances you have. But tread gingerly with a child or teenager who’s feeling grumpy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Progress at school, college or work has been slow but that’s about to change.

So make sure you are ready to pounce when circumstances alter. Remember, there’s no substitute for being thoroughly prepared.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Close relationships are favoured today Libra, as harmonious Venus helps you view a current problem in a positive new light. Your imagination is also cranking so get those creative juices flowing!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The stars stimulate your work zone so its your chance to really get ahead Scorpio.

However, don’t let professional progress happen at the expense of your family, friends and personal life.

rade, citing security concerns in the city, which has been hit by deadly attacks by Islamic State militants or Kurdish rebels.

Turkish Islamist and ultra-nationalist groups had also threatened counter-demonstrations to stop the gay rights rallies.

Activists believe authorities are using security as an excuse to ban the gay parades.

They say the government they should be taking measures to deal with the threats instead.

Two European legislators were also briefly detained Sunday, activists said.

They included prominent Green Party lawmaker Volker Beck — an outspoken activist for gay rights —who was detained when he wanted to speak at the event in Istanbul.

The German news agency dpa quoted Beck as saying: “The police tore away my passport and pushed me around.”

Last week, Turkish police also used tear gas and rubber bullets to break up demonstrators who gathered for the transgender parade in defiance of the ban.
