DIRECTOR ADDS VOICE TO CHORUS OPPOSING CARBON TAX year, the charity made up 60, 80, 100 per cent more than hampers compared to the same periods in 2015. “Never in my 18, 19 years here have I seen anything like this,” he added. Among the food bank’s new clients are parents who never thought they’d need the non-profit’s services. “The really tragic part of this is that we are seeing a lot more kids,” said Scaife. In September — an expensive month at the start of school — the number of children served by the non-profit group was 1,029, compared to 342 in September of 2015. The Wildrose Opposition party is fighting against the carbon tax, which the NDP government wants to imple-
ment starting in January. It’s expected to reduce greenhouse gases and collect $9.6 billion over the next five years, to be “reinvested in Alberta’s economy.” Although an exemption was sought for charities, it was voted down by the government. Scaife said the Red Deer Food Bank has several fundraising events planned, including the Tom Jackson Christmas concert and dinner Nov. 30 at the Westerner (tickets through Ticketmaster), and the Stuff-a-Bus event Dec. 2-4 at Parkland Mall. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate. com

A
massive surge in parents and children using the Red Deer Food Bank is leading director Fred Scaife to add his voice to the growing chorus opposing the Alberta carbon tax. He predicted out-of-work families in our economically hammered region will be further hurt by paying an extra tax on gasoline and natural gas, without this causing a significant reduction in global air emissions. Red Deer’s unemployment rate of 10 per cent was called the worst in Alberta when Alberta Labour stats were released in August. This city
is tied to many oilfield-related businesses affected by the low global price of oil, so Scaife said “the hit is profound in Red Deer.” This is borne out by a huge spike in demand at the local food bank. Scaife said the charity has been giving out 50 to 100 per cent more food hampers than last year, depending on fluctuating monthly demand. For instance, a staggering 707 food hampers were given out in October, compared to 449 for the same month last year. This is a 51 per cent increase, said Scaife, who feels fortunate that community donations have so far been keeping up with client demand. During other months this

Warming centre in need of mitts BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF
E
ach day about 50 people visit Safe Harbour’s warming centre to get out of the increasingly cold
weather. Tricia Haggarty-Roberts, Safe Harbour director of operations, said unfortunately staff do not have good quality mitts to hand out to clients when they leave. Donations would be greatly appreciated. “We have people who lose appendages every year, fingers and toes,” said Haggarty-Roberts on Wednesday. “We have lots of socks. We do not have mitts.” She said staff recently picked up 30 pairs of gloves from Bibles for Missions. “I guarantee they’ll be gone by Friday. It won’t take long.” The downtown warming centre, made up of three connected trailers, opened for the season on Nov. 1. and operates seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for Red Deer’s homeless. A computer from Alberta Works is available to clients to search and apply for jobs and keep in contact with friends and family. Counsellors can also be brought in from Alberta Health Services, as well as members of the co-ordinated entry team to help connect clients to housing. Tyrel Jackson, 29, said the warming centre is a nice place to hang out and get a coffee, use the phone or computer, and, of course, get out of the cold. “Sometimes there’s nowhere else to go,” Jackson said with a coffee cup in hand. He said staff are helpful. “They’ve got a pretty good grasp on all the resources around here.” Jackson said he’s trying to improve his circumstances, but it’s a slow process from where he’s at right now. “It just takes time.”

Foodgrains project raises $93,111 Central Alberta Foodgrains Project had a bumper year. The charitable initiative raised $93,111 so far on this year’s canola crop, the second highest dollar amount in 21 years. That total could hit $100,000 as other donations trickle in. Five volunteers farmers were out on Remembrance Day harvesting 120 acres of canola. In five hours, 8,600 bushels were taken off the field and hauled by Blackfalds’ Vision Truck Lines to the Richardson Grain Elevator, just east of Lacombe.

Tyrel Jackson relaxes in the Safe Harbour warming centre in Red Deer Wednesday afternoon. Jackson said he only started using the centre this season and hoped others who need it are made aware that it’s available. The centre is located in Safe Harbour’s parking lot, at 5246 53rd Ave. Haggarty-Roberts said at 50 clients a day, the number of visitors started out slow this season. Donations of granola bars or fresh fruit would also be welcome. Clients rarely have access to fresh fruit, she said. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com “Given the challenging harvest conditions this fall, what with the snow and rain, this is a fabulous result,” says Doug Maas, a member of the project committee. Organizers had initially planned to harvest in early October, but wet conditions kept equipment off the fields throughout the region. All of the funds raised will be sent to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in Winnipeg. Crop expenses not covered by donations were covered by donations earlier in the year to the project’s Sponsor-An-Acre Program. All of the donations gathered from 200 growing projects across Canada are matched by the federal government, which provides $4 for every charitable dollar raised. The money goes towards charitable projects around the world.

Shirtless firefighters a hot commodity BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF
R
ed Deer Emergency Services have raised an upward of $100,000 from their Firefighters Children’s Charity Calendars. More than 1,200 calendars have been sold in Red Deer, and the surrounding area.
It’s their third calendar in six years and firefighter Joel Jackson couldn’t be happier with what they’ve been able to accomplish. “It’s a really great outlet to raise a large amount of money for charity, and it’s becoming more and more successful. Six years ago I don’t think people knew that it was going to be as successful as it has become,” said Jackson.

Firefighters Brant Hittel and Jordan Schidlowsky can be found in the 2017 Red Deer Firefighters Children’s Charity Calendar. The calendar project has raised an upward of $100,000. “With us about to reach the $100,000 mark, we are pretty proud.” The Red Deer Library reading program, the Loaves and Fishes school lunch program and the C.A.R.E.S. immigrant youth program are some of the organizations that benefit from their charity, and Jackson said keeping the funds in the community is something the charity is proud of. “All the funds raised stay local. It’s very important for us to keep the charity alive and that we continue to raise money for the various programs that we assist throughout the year,” said Jackson. Jackson said he wasn’t sure how strong the response from the community would be when they started, but
everybody involved has been grateful with the response it’s received. “So far it’s been great. All in all everybody seems to like the idea and we hope to see it continue in the fall,” said Jackson. The calendar was also ranked fourth in the world by Fire Critic, an American magazine, for top firefighter calendars across the globe, ranking higher than places and departments like Vancouver, Australia, Kamloops, and Charleston, S.C.

everal men wanted by RCMP have been arrested with the help of sharp-eyed civilians. Police said a caller reporting suspicious activity last Friday morning in Eastview led to the arrest of a suspected burglar. The call came in shortly before 9 a.m. and arriving police nabbed a suspect near the scene. Investigating police found nine garages in a two-block area had been broken into in the area in just a few hours. Most of the stolen property was found stacked in an alley and returned to owners. A 31-year-old man wanted on seven warrants was arrested. He is facing charges of break and enter, possession of drugs and numerous charges of not complying with court orders Two other men wanted on several warrants was arrested by police responding to a report of suspicious activity about 9 p.m on Nov. 10. Police said staff in a main-floor business near 54th Street and 50th Avenue heard noises coming from the unoccupied suite above.
Two suspects wanted on warrants were arrested and are facing charges. A 45-year-old man is facing trespassing, possession of meth and possession of stolen property under $5,000. His 33-year-old cohort was wanted on three warrants for assault and uttering threats. A day earlier, a man was arrested after allegedly trying to open an account with stolen identification. A suspicious bank teller called police about 4 p.m. and a man wanted on four warrants for assault, forcible confinement and failing to appear in court. Police recovered three pieces of identification that had come from a wallet stolen several months before. A 41-year-old man is facing charges of identity theft, fraud, resisting or obstructing a police officer, possession of stolen property under $5,000 and failing to comply with conditions of release. Last Sunday, police caught a suspect red-handed after responding to a break-in in progress at Bad Ass Jacks on 67th Street near Taylor Drive. A 38-year-old man is facing charges of breaking and entering, theft under $5,000, possession of break-in tools and failing to comply with court orders.

Officer cleared of wrongdoing in arrest BY ADVOCATE STAFF
A
n RCMP officer has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the 2014 arrest of a man who claimed he was kicked unconscious. After a review of the evidence “there is no clear evidence that could provide reasonable grounds to believe the officer committed an offence,” says Susan Hughson, executive director of the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) in a Wednesday news release. ASIRT’s mandate is to investigate independently incidents involving Alberta police that have resulted in serious injury or death, as well as allegations of police misconduct. The organization was directed on Jan. 23, 2015, to investigate the circumstances surrounding the New Year’s Eve 2014 arrest near Blackfalds of a 47-year-old man, who was later treated for a broken rib and collapsed lung. ASIRT’s report says police tried to stop a pickup near Blackfalds after receiving a complaint of a stolen licence plate. When an officer got out of his vehicle to conduct a traffic stop, the pickup kept going and hit the officer in the arm as it passed. Two police vehicles tailed the pickup from which occupants were tossing beer cans as it drove through a rural area about 10 km west of Blackfalds. The driver, who was impaired, eventually lost control and hit the ditch. The three passengers, the 47-yearold man and two women, got out of the pickup. Police soon arrived and ordered all three to get on the ground, which the women did. It is alleged that the man refused and came towards the officer swearing. The officer hit him in the head with his gun and the suspect went down, but refused to stay down. “The officer indicated he then kicked the man in the torso two to three times in an effort to gain control, at which point the man stayed on the ground and was handcuffed.” The man was charged and then went to Lacombe’s hospital, where he was treated and released. Five days later, his condition worsening, the man went to Three Hills Health Centre and was diagnosed with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. The suspect claimed he was kicked in the head twice and three times in the ribs and momentarily lost consciousness during his arrest. “His version was inconsistent and irreconcilable with all other statements,” says Hughson. The women, officer and suspect were all interviewed and there was some video evidence.

Lacombe man building educational bridges abroad BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF
A
Lacombe man is attempting to build an educational bridge between schools in Lacombe and schools in Ukraine and Uganda. Warren Kreway’s Through the Eyes of the Children foundation helps students with bursaries and scholarships, giving them equal education opportunities. During his recent trip to Lviv, Ukraine, Kreway and Lacombe Composite High School student Chase Bailey, brought four robots from the LCHS robotics club to four different schools in the city. “There (the schools are) about 50 years behind us in technology and when we showed them how to a build robot, I had girl students coming up and asking me if they could become engineers in Canada,” said Kreway. As part of the foundation, Kreway and LCHS students have started a mentorship program to mentor students in Ukraine on robotics. More than 400 students are involved in Lacombe and Ukraine.

He decided to include Uganda in his vision. “I’ve connected with a school over there and I’ll be taking a robot with
me. I’ll also be spending Christmas at an orphanage,” said Kreway. “Orphans in Africa can’t go to school because they don’t have the money, but if they can get through their primary years the government will actually pay for their university or college. It’s just tough for them to get to that point.” Kreway has been fundraising through his church and the Lacombe Rotary and Kinsmen Club. Not only does he plan on helping students abroad, he wants to help students in Lacombe. For every student who applies for a scholarship, there are 20 students who don’t have the resources, said Kreway. “Even if they’re not achieving high marks in school, they’re still good students who just need a little hand-up.” Semi-retired, Kreway said he wouldn’t want to spend his time doing anything else. “When I look into the eyes of these kids, whether it’s in the Ukraine, Uganda or here in Lacombe, I see them looking back at me and saying thank you,” said Kreway. jonathan.guignard@reddeeradvocate.com

Immigrant women’s association receives $500K grant BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF
C
entral Alberta Immigrant Women’s Association was encouraged that $500,000 in new grants from the province will be available to target domestic violence, help women develop leadership and secure good jobs. On Wednesday, Alberta Status of Women announced the money will go to support organizations for projects that encourage women to run for elected office or apply for boards and senior leadership roles; prevent or respond to violence against women or
girls; or help women secure good jobs and closing the wage gap. “All the themes are very exciting for us,” said CAIWA executive director Halima Ali on Wednesday. “They are three areas we are very, very familiar with because of our research and the programs we already had and developed.” In 2015, CAIWA completed its Women’s Economic Security Project to identify employment gaps and barriers and opportunities to immigrant women. “It opened our eyes to understanding exactly what kind of employment issues immigrants face in Central Alberta.”
CAIWA is also working on a project to research family violence among new immigrants and develop an action plan. Ali said the new grants could provide CAIWA with the opportunity to take the next steps with its research. She said the organization has several ideas on how to use the funding and will work on submitting an application. Organizations eligible to apply for the grants are charities, non-profits, community-based coalitions and networks. The deadline for applications is Dec. 16. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Visitor from Colombia killed in random attack BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
E
DMONTON — A 42-yearold visitor from Colombia has been identified as the man killed in what police are calling a random attack by six people in north Edmonton. An autopsy held Tuesday showed that Leonardo Duran Ibanez died of injuries consistent with severe head trauma. Ibanez had been in Edmonton vis-
iting family for two months. Police say he and a relative had gone to a local bar for a drink on the weekend and were walking home when they were jumped from behind. Police spokesman Scott Pattison the pair were trying to do the right thing by walking instead of driving after a few drinks, and weren’t far from their residence “when things turned terribly wrong.” The relative who was with Ibanez called police for help and is describing the attackers as four males and
two females. Pattison says Ibanez and his relative had been speaking Spanish but he says it’s not believed they were engaged in any negative discussions with the assailants. “We believe … the assailants were simply looking to pick a fight,” says Pattison. “”This attack was unprompted and unmotivated. It’s obviously a very heinous attack and situation and extremely traumatizing for the family.”

IN SHORT Lacombe proposes 3.28% tax hike Lacombe residents are looking at a 3.28 per cent municipal tax increase next year. That’s the number proposed in next year’s draft $37.4-million operating budget. It represents $430,650 in additional spending to cover cost of running the city and its programs. A $22.1-million draft capital plan funds 36 projects. One of the bigger projects to be tackled next year will see Main Street revamped at a cost of $6.6 million. A $10.6-million project will service an area on the west side of town. Mayor Steve Christie says the city’s growth is making maintaining service levels a challenge. Christie says “council has worked hard to find efficiencies, and we have worked with administration to prepare a draft budget that maintains service levels and supports increased demand from residents in a sustainable manner.” A budget open house and question-and-answer session has been set for Nov. 21 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Lacombe Memorial Centre. Council will review public feedback at its Nov. 28 council meeting.
Airport to host emergency exercise on weekend An emergency exercise is taking place at the Red Deer Regional Airport on Saturday from 1-4 p.m. First responders such as Red Deer County Fire Services, RCMP, Alberta Health Services and partners from the airport community will be involved in the scenario. “We’ll be simulating an aircraft that has had an engine failure on take off and ends up in the barbed wire at the end of the runway,” said George Friesen, operations manager at Red Deer Airport. The airport is mandated by regulation to have a full-scale exercise every four years to test their emergency response plan. “They’re a learning experience. The whole idea is to try and find weaknesses or gaps within the plan in the unlikely event of it actually happening,” said Friesen. The general public will likely see emergency vehicles and activity on or near the airfield, but should not be alarmed. Contact Kayla Thorsen at 403-886-4388.

Paxton conviction upheld MAN TORTURED, MAIMED, STARVED AND ASSAULTED ROOMMATE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
C
ALGARY — Alberta’s top court has upheld the conviction of a man who tortured and starved his roommate and business partner before dropping him off near death at a hospital. T h e three-member Alberta Court of Appeal rejected Dustin Paxton’s challenge of his convictions in 2012 for aggravated and sexual assault. Court heard that Paxton DUSTIN PAXTON humiliated, starved, beat and sexually assaulted his roommate over 18 months while they lived together in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The victim was dropped off near death at a Regina hospital in 2010. The man, who cannot be identified, testified during Paxton’s trial in Calgary that he suffered a traumatic brain injury from the abuse and can no longer hold a job. He said he has trouble with his balance, can’t swallow properly and has to drink through a straw. The man lost some of his lip during the prolonged ordeal, had his ribs broken and sustained a ruptured bowel. Paxton’s trial heard how the smallest things such as leftovers in the fridge would provoke an attack. The
victim testified that he took the abuse because he didn’t want to look like “a sissy” and had dreams of making big money in a moving business he and Paxton had started. “There was no evidence to suggest anything upon which Paxton could base a reasonable and honestly thought-through belief that (the victim) was consenting to sexual contact with him in these circumstances,” reads the judgment released Wednesday. After Paxton’s trial, Justice Sheilah Martin of Court of Queen’s Bench also ruled that he was a dangerous offender. She said he showed indifference to his crimes, was a high risk to violently reoffend and should be jailed indefinitely. The Appeal Court rejected arguments from Paxton’s lawyers, who said the trial judge made errors, showed bias and shouldn’t have excluded a defence expert who found the victim’s testimony unreliable. They also questioned the victim’s memory about events that had happened years before. “It is hard to imagine a situation more compelling than the one found to exist by the trial judge, of regular beatings inflicting serious bodily harm on (the victim), to support his evidence that he feared being beaten by Paxton if he did not comply with his sexual expectations,” said the judges. “The evidence supports this fear, even if threats were conveyed by gesture rather than orally, and even though (the victim) could not convey exactly what those gestures were, (the victim’s) fear of Paxton was more than reasonable.”
TIMELINE Here are some key dates in the case: 2008: Dustin Paxton and the victim move in together in Calgary with plans to start a moving company to take advantage of a booming energy economy. Oct. 31, 2008: The victim receives the first of almost daily beatings and chokings from Paxton. September 2009: The victim is admitted to hospital with a crushed eye socket. He says a refrigerator fell on him at work. X-rays show multiple broken ribs, breaks in his vertebrae and lacerations to his spleen, liver and small intestine. February 2010: The victim’s family stops hearing from him. March 2010: Paxton and the victim move from Calgary to Regina and rent an apartment. A man living below the suite says he regularly hears disturbing sounds coming from there. April 16, 2010: The victim is dumped at a Regina hospital in critical condition. He weighs 87 pounds when he is admitted. His previous weight was 245 pounds. Aug. 25, 2010: Dustin Paxton is arrested by police in Edmonton. Aug. 27, 2010: Paxton makes his first court appearance in Calgary by a video link. He appears confused and agitated and says he doesn’t understand the charges against him. “I want a lawyer,” Paxton tells the court.

CRIME
IN SHORT Truck with upset child found the next day in Edmonton CALGARY — A pickup truck that fled from a marked police cruiser at a roundabout in south Calgary has been located in Edmonton. Police had issued a plea to help locate the blue Dodge truck with a B.C. licence plate after an officer grew concerned for the welfare of a young girl in the vehicle who appeared to be visibly upset. Investigators say the officer approached the truck on Monday to offer assistance after he noticed it stopped, but the truck drove off and hit a vehicle. Early Tuesday morning the RCMP stopped the same truck on an unrelated matter near Edmonton. Police say both the driver and the young girl are in good condition. The driver is facing charges of fleeing police, driving dangerously and committing a hit and run. Police did not give any further information, nor did they say why they would not say if the driver was male or female. When police were asking for help from the public to locate the truck, they described the driver as a Caucasian female, approximately 35 to 40 years old, with long dirty-blonde hair and a slender build.
Quebec announces public inquiry into the protection of journalists’ sources QUEBEC — The Quebec government officially launched a public inquiry on Wednesday into police surveillance of journalists. Jacques Chamberland, a judge with the province’s court of appeal, will chair the inquiry. Guylaine Bachand, a lawyer specialized in media law and Alexandre Matte, a former Quebec City police chief, will sit as the other two commissioners. The inquiry’s mandate will include identifying best practices to protect the confidentiality of journalistic sources. They must report back to the legislature by March 1, 2018.
Former Calgary police officer charged with kidnapping C
ALGARY — A former police officer is facing 11 criminal code charges that include kidnapping and obstruction of justice. “These are serious criminal charges. Full stop,” Ray Robitaille, deputy chief of the Calgary Police Service, said Tuesday. “That a member in uniform is accused of these crimes is deeply concerning — 99.99 per cent of our police officers go out every day to earn the public’s trust and they work very, very hard to make sure Calgary’s a safe place,” he said. “Any time this sort of behaviour surfaces, it’s a betrayal to all police officers and the public.” Police say a man and a woman came forward in January alleging two cases of harassment. An investigation revealed that the woman had been stopped in a Calgary parking lot in July 2015 for traffic violations and her vehicle was towed. The officer drove the woman home, but she alleges she was confined in the back of a locked police vehicle for 3 1/2 hours. The same police officer allegedly met the woman and her boyfriend six months later in front of their
home, told the man to wait in his car and followed the woman into her house without permission. The investigation also found the officer was using Calgary Police Service databases to obtain information about the complainants. Robitaille said there was no suggestion the officer knew the woman before the 2015 traffic stop when he wrote her up for not having a valid driver’s licence or auto insurance. Nor was there any indication that stalking or sexual assault was involved. Denis McHugh, 35, is charged with kidnapping, obstruction of justice, break and enter, breach of the peace, two counts of fraudulently obtaining a computer service and five counts of breach of trust. McHugh resigned his position as constable earlier this month after eight years on the job. “There’s nothing positive to say about this other than this individual will be answering these charges in a court of law where it’s appropriate,” said Robitaille. “There’s a fairly comprehensive list of charges before you that outline very clearly what the facts in this matter are.” McHugh is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 29.

First responders seeing more overdoses from fentanyl: firefighter union BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
W
INNIPEG — First responders are dealing with overdoses every day in what has become a fentanyl crisis in Manitoba’s capital, the head of the city’s firefighters union said Wednesday. “Where before a paramedic would go to one or two overdoses a year, now we’re seeing firefighter-paramedics attending to overdoses every single day,” Alex Forrest of the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg said. “Our guys and girls are going out to these calls and going to these events, and sometimes we have two or three individuals that we’re reviving that are on the verge of cardiac arrest because of the fentanyl use.” Forrest’s remarks came hours after two women and one man were found dead inside a home in a residential neighbourhood in the city’s northwest. A white powder was found inside the home. Police said they suspected the powder might be fentanyl — a synthetic opioid — or its much more powerful cousin carfentanil. Police and health officials across North America say fentanyl poses a serious threat to public safety. The opioid is used as a painkiller for terminally ill cancer patients and is 100 times more powerful than heroin. The British Columbia government declared a public health emergency in April because of a dramatic increase in overdose deaths in the province, much of them caused by fentanyl. A new liquid form of the drug turned up this year in Hamilton, Ont.
Carfentanil — a drug so strong that a dose the size of a few grains can be fatal — was first found in Winnipeg in the summer when police raided a hotel room and found 1,477 doses. Last month, a ninemonth-old boy was rushed to hospital. Police say carfentanil can be mixed in with other drugs such as cocaine or crystal meth, so users may not even be aware they are ingesting it. “This type of incident is on everyone’s minds,” Const. Rob Carver said. “It’s changing the landscape of how we work and how first responders work.” Winnipeg police warned drug users in September to have a naloxone overdose prevention kit on hand when using carfentanil, fentanyl or heroin. The kits can be purchased without a prescription at pharmacies, and opioid users can get them for free through a program run by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. The Bear Clan Patrol, a volunteer group that walks inner-city streets in Winnipeg and keeps an eye on some of the city’s most vulnerable citizens, recently had its members trained on how to administer naloxone. Sheri Fandrey, who has a PhD in pharmacology and works at the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, said some drug users, especially younger ones, are not likely to heed the many warnings about the dangers of fentanyl and carfentanil. “When we’re talking about younger people, they’re probably still under that illusion of invincibility, or the (belief that) ‘Oh, I’m only going to try it once’, and they never get a chance to try it a second or third time.”

ELECTORAL REFORM
NDP back referendum, aim to pressure Liberals BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
O
TTAWA — New Democrats have dropped their opposition to holding a national referendum on electoral reform in a bid to pressure the governing Liberals into agreeing to a proportional voting system. The move Wednesday was aimed at forging a united front in favour of proportional representation among opposition parties, who hold the majority on an all-party committee that is supposed to recommend an alternative to Canada’s first-past-the-post voting system by Dec. 1. Committee members have been holed up behind closed doors this week, attempting to reach a consensus which has so far proved elusive. NDP, Bloc Quebecois and Green members of the committee support a proportional voting system but Conservatives have said they will not support any change unless it is approved by Canadians in a referendum. The Bloc also wants a referendum. Conservative democratic reform critic Scott Reid was not immediately available for comment. But NDP counterpart Nathan Cullen said he’s had “good” conversations with Reid thus far about the NDP’s willingness to make a concession on the referendum idea. Asked if it will be enough to win Tory support for proportional repre-
sentation, Cullen said Reid has acknowledged that the majority of experts and average folks consulted by the committee overwhelmingly favour a proportional voting system. “I can’t see us writing a report that doesn’t reflect that back,” he said. Liberal committee members have not yet tipped their hand on what voting system they prefer. But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — who promised during the 2015 federal election campaign that it would be the last conducted under first-past-the-post — has in the past expressed a preference for a ranked ballot system, a model opposition parties maintain would disproportionately benefit the Liberals. The NDP is now attempting to force the Liberals’ hand. “It would be strange if we had a scenario in which the opposition parties were able to make concessions and come to an agreement to help the Liberals fulfil their campaign promise, their throne speech commitment, and have the Liberals opposed to that,” Cullen said. Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef’s office had no comment on the NDP move, other than to say she looks forward to the committee’s report. She has repeatedly said she’s not a fan of holding a referendum, which could be divisive and costly, but that she’d have to take the idea seriously if the committee recommends it.

CLIMATE CHANGE
Canada to set 80 per cent greenhouse gas reduction target by 2050 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
MARRAKECH, Morocco — Greenpeace Canada says Ottawa will set a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent below 2005 levels by 2050. A spokesperson for the environmental organization told The Canadian Press on Wednesday that members of the Canadian delegation at the United Nations climate change conference indicated the 80 per cent number during a meeting. That would mean Canada would follow the lead of the United States, who have also set an 80 per cent goal. Members of the Canadian delegation at the United Nations climate change conference in Marrakech, Morocco, did not confirm the information. Caitlin Workman, a spokeswoman for Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, did not respond to a re-
quest for comment. Canada’s strategy for reaching its target is expected to include doubling production of clean energy and increasing energy produced from biomass. The plan will also favour integrating electrical transport networks between the provinces as well as U.S. states. The conference is aimed at implementing the Paris agreement on climate change that entered into effect Nov. 4. Countries have been meeting to discuss tools for meeting their commitments as well as ways of measuring accountability. Up until now, the Trudeau government has adopted the previous Conservative government’s 2030 target of reducing emissions 30 per cent below 2005 levels.

Civics courses are something we can’t LIV without BY MADDIE DI MUCCIO ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
A
s the Fraser Institute points out with its Tax Freedom Day, nearly half of your work in a year is spent earning income to meet tax obligations to municipal, provincial and federal governments. Yet despite the taxes we pay, too often Canadians are ill-informed about how governments operate, or what we can do as citizens to have influence on the legislative process. Beyond voting every four years – and only two out of three eligible voters actually cast a ballot in a federal election – few of us have any idea what steps we can take between elections to effect change. In the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election, there are sometimes violent anti-Trump protests taking place across the United States. Protesters interviewed for television show ignorance of the electoral process. Could a peaceful transition of power between U.S. President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump really be in jeopardy because people don’t understand how elections work? There’s a simple solution to help solve some of the problem: Canadians should be insisting that civics be a mandatory course in high school. Only Ontario requires a mandatory civics class within its high school curriculum. And in recent months, it’s been reported that the Ontar-
io government was actually quietly considering removing the civics course. The truth is that laws and governments are becoming more and more complicated. Beyond our national borders, in this time of globalization, international agreements can impose a whole new set of rules and regulations over our day-to-day lives. As a result, it’s been harder for citizens to keep abreast of the issues. In the 1990s, political scientists began to recognize the electoral effects Low-Information Voters (or LIV) are having on election outcomes. LIVs may be responsible for the recent transformation of election campaigns from trying to convince voters a candidate has the best platform, to campaigns where policies no longer matter. Rather than considering what’s best for the nation, voters get reality-TV like campaigning that shocks and entertains us. This year, U.S. voters elected a reality TV star, someone who has never held public office before, to the most powerful elected office on the planet. Regardless of partisanship, this year’s presidential election will not be seen as one of the highlights of democracy. The campaign featured everything from leaked e-mails of juvenile bullying, cellphone sexting, and R-rated language. Not even Hollywood could dream up a script that would come close to this. In Canada last year, LIVs voted to make a Snapchat/Instagram sel-
fie-obsessed candidate our prime minister. Not accounting for partisanship, the last federal election was a very poor example of what election campaigns are supposed to look like. Imagine how things would change if we educated our next generation to ignore the sideshow antics, the social media snapshots, and the meaningless jargon. Instead, imagine if the next generation of voters demanded to review a candidate’s platform, understood the costs associated with implementing the candidate’s policies, and then made an informed decision of which candidate had the better plan for our country. Canadians would be better off if we re-introduced reason and consideration into our elections. Mandatory civics classes within the high-school curriculum could provide this much-needed instruction. An education in civics would outline the important responsibilities of citizenship, such as informed voting, understanding our rights as citizens, and identifying ways we can shape our futures. Armed with this information, perhaps LIVs will become a thing of the past. And maybe, as voters become more engaged once again in their civic responsibilities, we can work on moving the Tax Freedom Day back, reducing our tax obligations with better informed voting decisions.

Economic silver linings for Canada BY JOCK FINLAYSON ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
D
onald Trump’s surprise victory in the presidential election, coupled with continued Republican control of both branches of the U.S. Congress, heralds significant changes in the United States’ policy in trade, immigration, foreign affairs, energy and taxation. Many Canadians are understandably uneasy about the direction the U.S. may take under new leadership. At a minimum, Trump’s political ascendancy injects added stress and uncertainty into an already fragile and unsettled world. From a Canadian business perspective, there are likely to be economic downsides and upsides from the new political order that’s about to take shape in Washington, D.C. The downsides have received extensive media commentary: Trump’s stated intention to renegotiate NAFTA and scrap the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement; the prospect of mounting global trade conflict precipitated by Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on imports from China and Mexico and designate China as a “currency manipulator”; and the
risk that the Canada-U.S. border may thicken further if the new administration abandons the U.S.’s traditional support for trade liberalization and an open global economy. But there could also be a more positive story for Canada. At the heart of Trump’s platform is a pledge to lift the U.S.’s anemic economic growth rate. The U.S. economy has been expanding by around two per cent a year (after inflation) since the recession ended in mid-2009. Trump has talked about doubling that, to four per cent a year – an implausible goal, but one that evidently resonated with many voters. How is this to be accomplished? The President-elect has emphasized three components of an economic growth agenda. First, a new infrastructure program totalling $1 trillion in additional spending over the next four years. Second, significant tax cuts for both businesses and individuals, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars of incremental economic stimulus. Third, a commitment to roll back the regulatory burden on U.S. businesses that increased steadily during President Barack Obama’s time in office. It is too soon to know to what extent the various parts of this economic agenda will be implemented
- and how quickly. Nor is it clear how Trump’s economic plan will be paid for. But it is reasonable to assume that economic growth will receive a boost from a multi-year program of stepped-up infrastructure spending, large tax reductions, and some streamlining of government regulation. According to one leading forecaster, all of this could increase the U.S.’s economic growth rate by more than half a percentage point per annum over the next few years. If so, Canada will gain as faster economic growth stateside bolsters the demand for our exports and contributes to firmer world-wide commodity prices. For Canada, a second ray of light from the U.S. election result is the expected resurrection of the Keystone XL pipeline project. In his Contract with the American Voter, Trump promised to “eliminate roadblocks” to developing new energy infrastructure, pointing specifically to Keystone as a project that should “move forward.” Keystone would add 830,000 barrels a day of shipment capacity, with most of the extra oil sourced in Alberta. Anything that allows Canada to export more oil to U.S. markets would be positive for our energy
industry and overall economy. Businesses all across Canada that are tied into the supply chains that serve the Alberta energy sector should also benefit as Keystone leads to increased Canadian oil production and more investment in the country’s beleaguered oil and gas industry. Finally, Trump’s policy stances on immigration could also create upside opportunities for Canada. Canada’s relatively open approach to immigration, including by providing pathways to employment and permanent residency for international students with Canadian credentials, may attract interest from prospective immigrants who otherwise would be drawn to the United States. As the Canadian government looks to retool aspects of our own immigration policy, it would be well-advised to take into account shifts in the U.S.’s approach to immigration that may prompt more skilled foreign workers and talented foreign students to view Canada as an appealing destination. Troy Media columnist Jock Finlayson is executive vice-president of the Business Council of British Columbia.
Letters to the editor ALTERNATIVE ENERGY Government has set a goal of 30 per cent renewable energy production. Reported capacity of wind farms are misleading because actual production varies from 20 to 40 per cent of capacity depending on location. The output is totally dependent on currently available wind. Solar panel output is directly impacted by light intensity and sunlight. At this latitude, the output of a solar panel will be approximately half of one nearer the equator with much greater seasonal variability. Storage may be practical from batteries for short periods. Other methods for longer periods are possible but all storage adds costs and requires extra energy. Urban populations are dependent on reliable and readily available energy supplies for food distribution, preparation, and storage, water supply, sewage disposal, heat, light, communication capacity, transportation, and the list goes on. Costly redundant generation capacity must be available for when wind power generation fails. Nuclear power generation has had problems with plants built with decades’ old technologies. The first nuclear reactor built in North America had the sole priority of producing
plutonium for weapons. First generation electricity producing plants were based on this technology. Third and fourth generation plants are being designed to meet the environmental, safety, and fuel efficiency standards expected today. Priorities include safe shut down, can adapt quickly to demand changes, and take fuel utilization from three per cent to 90 per cent with a corresponding reduction in waste. Designs can be sized to fit a location’s needs. Output can be customized to produce electricity, heat for commercial and residential needs, hydrogen, or some combination of these. Should we use large amounts of energy, materials and limited capital on thousands of turbines that require a duplication of generation capacity to mitigate their limitations and result in substantial increased costs to consumers, or investigate alternatives with properties which are favourable to power generation?

TIME TO SMELL THE COFFEE Alberta, once the driver of the Canadian economy, is now in deep recession and is about to go even deeper thanks to Premier Notley, and Prime Minister Trudeau. One has only to drive around the neighbour-

CONFEDERATE FLAG FLOP I read a letter to the editor where we received a lecture on the confederate flag and its meaning. The Confederate flag made an appearance at a recent anti carbon tax rally in Red Deer. It was a reaction to that politically correct brand we seem so eager to impose on those of us who wish to do the right thing. The Confederate flag has nothing to do with a carbon tax. I would venture to say the majority of people in Alberta don’t want a carbon tax and peaceful protest is persuasive and important. Peaceful protest gets things done. The Confederate flag in not a symbol of anti-carbon sentiments or for that matter, anything Albertan. The writer of said letter suggested we should know the history of the Confederate flag before we pass judgment.
The Confederate flag is so far removed from the northwestern corner of Canada. It represented 10 southern states who wished to leave the American Union. Most of those states were not only way south, but pretty far east of the Albertan boarders. It has nothing to do with our life in the north. It is pretty and it has the moniker “rebel” associated to it. Albertans are intelligent business people. Our history is cluttered with mavericks who were tough enough to endure the harsh isolated landscape. So I would suggest we come up with our own symbol of maverick causes. I’m certain we could come up with something just a pretty that would be our own. It wouldn’t be associated with a losing side in a war that was fought because the conclusion of slavery would impede an agricultural economy. Take a walk down the beach at Sylvan Lake any weekend in the summer and witness first hand what a beautiful, diverse, global community our Province has become. That is something we should be proud of. The confederate flag is not a symbol of global inclusion. Political or not, I know that to be correct. Ian McLean, Sylvan Lake

he federal government has moved to protect a wildlife-rich bay along Canada’s Arctic coastline after extensive consultation with the indigenous hunters who depend on it for their livelihood. Fisheries and Oceans Minister Dominic Leblanc announced Wednesday that Darnley Bay along the coast of the Northwest Territories will be added to Canada’s 12 other marine protected areas. “It’s very good for us because we depend on it in the summer and winter,” said Jonah Nakimayak, 71, who lives in the nearby community of Paulatuk. “Whenever I need to I go out there and hunt. Lots of other people go.” Darnley Bay is home to about 40,000 beluga whales, as well as bowheads, abundant seals and fish such as cod and Arctic char. Egg Island hosts large seabird colonies and polar bears stalk the winter sea ice. “It’s a really ecologically important area,” said Cal Wenghofer, the ministry’s oceans manager for the central and Arctic region. “It’s a very dynamic place.” The protected area, to be known as Anguniaqvia niqiqyuam, covers about 2,400 square kilometres and has been under consideration for protection since 2009. Its new status rules out oil and gas exploration, commercial shipping and commercial fishing. “We really applaud this,” said Chris Debicki of The Pew Charitable Trusts’ Oceans North Canada. Debicki praised the government’s extensive use of traditional knowledge and the fact the bay is near a community. “It’s connecting a protected area

This small pod of belugas is among a total population of about 40,000 that live in the waters of Darnley Bay, along the N.W.T. coast. Darnley Bay has been declared a National Marine Protected area, bringing Canada’s total to 13 such areas. The area was created after extensive consultation with local residents, who depend on the bay for food and welcome its new status. with people,” he said. “That’s something we may not have seen in past generations of conservation in the Arctic, where there was an emphasis on protecting areas that we determined as pristine and occupied our imaginations as places untouched by humans, which was really a fiction.” Nakimayak said he and his family eat food taken from the bay on a daily basis. He also praised the government’s work with the community. “That is very good, I tell you. It’s very good the way they co-operate with us. I hope they continue.” The most recent federal budget allocated $124 million over five years to support marine conservation activ-
ities, which include designating new protected areas. The World Wildlife Fund says only about one per cent of Canada’s oceans and great lakes are protected — far short of international commitments to protect 10 per cent by 2020. “We understand it is a challenge,” said Wenghofer. “We will be working to try and meet those targets. I fully expect the pace (of designation) will pick up.” For Nakimayak, Darnley Bay’s new status protects a way of life that has sustained his people for centuries. “That’s how we survived before stores. I live off the land. I’m happy and I love it.”
get for health facility infrastructure, Philpott said, but she acknowledged programs and facilities are a far cry from what they should be. “It is going to take time and we are going to, frankly, need more resources to be able to do better,” she said. At the rate adopted by previous governments, expansion plans for health facilities would have taken “hundreds of years,” with just one or two nursing stations being handled each year, Philpott added. “In many communities there are nursing stations or health centres — they have had very little done in the way of improving the facilities
and expanding them as needed,” she said. “We said that’s unacceptable.” Health Canada has health facilities in 366 reserves, not including British Columbia. Money isn’t the only problem, Philpott added. Colonialism, racism and intergenerational trauma are all connected to health challenges for First Nations people. Following Wednesday’s committee testimony, Philpott also acknowledged the problem of child sexual abuse in aboriginal communities — the focus of a recent investigation by The Canadian Press.
AVANA — Canada won’t change its decision to maintain diplomatic relations with Cuba, even if that stance is at odds with the man set to lead Canada’s biggest trading partner, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in Havana on Wednesday. When asked about the U.S. embargo on Cuba, the election of Donald Trump and concerns about the future of Canada-Cuba relations, Trudeau repeatedly tried to calm curious Cuban university students he was addressing. The front row also held an unexpected guest: Cuban President Raul Castro. “For me, election results in the United States won’t change the strong relationship that is a friendship and a partnership between Canada and Cuba,” Trudeau said. Trudeau said Canada doesn’t see a contradiction or issue with being a steadfast and unflinching friend to Cuba and being an ally of the United States. He said the foreign affairs stance is one way Canadians reassure themselves “that we are our own country, that we make our own choices.” “We disagree with the approach the United States has taken with Cuba. We think that our approach is much better — of partnership, of collaboration, of engagement,” he said. “But it’s not our job to tell our friends and allies what they should do or shouldn’t do. It’s our job to make sure we’re doing what we know that we should do, that we can do in terms of creating opportunities for Canadians, for Canadian companies, but also opportunities for Cuba to continue to develop, to modernize, to improve in the many areas that it’s building success in.” The hour-long session with students at the University of Havana came on the same day the Cuban military began five days of exercises, manoeuvres that were first staged when Ronald Reagan was in the White House, but haven’t taken place in the last three years. The exercises are seen as a direct response to Trump’s election victory in the United States and his promise to roll back the steps Barack Obama has taken to revive relations with Cuba that were cut off in 1961. At the time, Canada decided to retain ties with Cuba.

TTAWA — The federal Liberals are providing $25 million to a UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees that was cut off by the previous Conservative government for alleged ties to Hamas. International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau made the announcement at a news conference and also during question period in the House of Commons — news that was greeted by cries of “shame” from the opposition benches. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, also known as UNRWA, lost federal funding in 2010 amid allegations it was tied too closely to Hamas, considered a terrorist organization by Canada and others. Bibeau says $20 million will go support education, health and social services for millions of vulnerable Palestinian refugees, as well as urgent humanitarian assistance. An additional $5 million is being provided in response to the agency’s appeal for help for those impacted by the crisis in Syria and its environs. “I’m horrified,” said Conservative foreign affairs critic Peter Kent, who said there is ample proof that “massive amounts” of UN aid have been redirected to support Palestinian military efforts against Israel. “We have abundant evidence that UNRWA is part of the problem.” The government says the money will be accompanied by “enhanced due diligence,” including a “very robust oversight and reporting framework.”

PHOENIX PAY PROBLEMS
Some employees still waiting for paycheques BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
O
TTAWA — As the federal government whittles away a backlog of payroll problems caused by its new pay system, officials say new payroll entries are taking an “unacceptable” amount of time to process. The deputy minister in charge of dealing with the Phoenix pay system debacle says about 18,000 backlogged cases have yet to be processed, down from roughly 22,000 files that were still on the books
two weeks prior. But Marie Lemay says a secondary backlog of sorts was created over the summer months as payroll processing times slowed to about 40,000 files per pay period. The deputy minister of Public Services and Procurement Canada says the goal is to ensure that federal workers are paid what they are owed within 20 days of submitting their regular pay claims. But while pay processing times have vastly improved, Lemay says that target is being achieved only about 20 per cent of the time as a result of the
earlier slowdown. The remaining 80 per cent of employees are being forced to wait for payments for up to two months or even longer. “We have the equivalent of more than two months of transactions that are in a queue,” Lemay said. “Some could be 40 days. Some could be 60 days (depending on the transaction).” The Public Service Alliance of Canada, which represents the majority of federal government workers, has complained the Liberals have not provided employees with enough information about how they intend to fix the troubled pay system.

ENTVILLE, N.S. — His face streaked with tears, the middle-aged man put his head in his hands and breathed heavily. Testifying about an alleged sexual encounter with Brent Hawkes as a teen more than 40 years ago, his face was red with emotion. The man declined suggestions, however, that he should take a break from the witness stand. “I think this is as good as it’s going to get,” the man quietly said of his emotional state Tuesday. It was his first day of testimony at the well-known Toronto pastor’s trial on charges of indecent assault and gross indecency. The man, the complainant in the case, will return to the stand Thursday after an off-day Wednesday. Crown lawyer Bob Morrison said Tuesday was a distressing day for the complainant, who can’t be identified under a publication ban, as he recalled memories that have haunted him for decades. “It was very emotional. He described some of the details very vividly,” Morrison said outside of the courtroom in Kentville, N.S. “Other details he was a little bit fuzzy on. But he was very clear on the things he did remember.” Hawkes, a prominent rights activist who was then a teacher in the Annapolis Valley, has pleaded not guilty. The man, who was then about 16, testified that Hawkes encouraged him and other teenage males to strip at a drunken get-together at his trailer in the mid-1970s, and then took him to a bedroom for sex. He said he had heard of students hanging out at Hawkes’ place, and had been there once before himself to drink alcohol and play the video game Pong. The man said it was a single-unit trailer located behind a tavern in a trailer park in Greenwood, N.S., with a living room, small kitchen, bathroom and at least one bedroom. All three witnesses that have testified thus far have said they were high school students when they attended a gathering at Hawkes’ trailer. But some details of the get-together have differed among the three men. And all three admitted their memories from that day are not complete. Two witnesses, including the complainant, have testified that drinking games were being played and that at one point, clothes were being taken off as part of the game.

Canada, Mexico talk the talk about free trade COUNTRIES TALKED BEFORE MAKING SEPARATE NAFTA OVERTURES TO TRUMP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
W
ASHINGTON — Canada and Mexico reached out to each other while preparing similar public messages last week about being willing to engage U.S. president-elect Donald Trump in discussing amendments to the North American Free Trade Agreement. Sources say the two governments spoke by phone before Canada made its sudden announcement about NAFTA the day after the U.S. election — comments later followed by a similar statement from Mexico. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto also spoke later in the week, after representatives of their respective governments kept each other abreast of their intentions. “I had a nice conversation a number of days ago with President Pena Nieto,” Trudeau confirmed during a news conference Wednesday. “Our citizens expect us to work constructively together to advance our interests and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.” The day after Trump’s election stunner, the Canadian government said it was ready to talk trade. U.S. ambassador David MacNaughton said every agreement can be improved, so Canada is ready to come to the table with ideas. He even suggested a possible change: adding softwood lumber to the agreement, so that the countries don’t continue relitigating the issue every few years. Softwood is on the list of things Trump might want adjusted in NAFTA, according to a purported transition memo obtained by CNN. Other issues on the list include currency manipulation, country-of-origin labelling and environmental and safety standards, the memo reportedly says. It also says that on Day 1 of his presidency, according to CNN, Trump will inform Canada and Mexico of his intention to change

Protectionists feeling strong with Trump: MacNaughton BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
M
ONTREAL — Canada must put together a team to educate Donald Trump and other Americans on the benefits of free trade, the country’s ambassador to the United States said Wednesday. Trade has become a “dirty” word south of the border and protectionists feel emboldened by the election of Trump, David MacNaughton told a business lunch crowd in Montreal. President-elect Trump consistently criticized the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, during the campaign. It is unclear, however, what steps he will take to address discontent with the agreement once he takes office. “This is about education,” MacNaughton said, adding nine million jobs in the U.S. directly depend

ELECTION FALLOUT
‘They need us nearly as much as we need them’ SENIOR ONTARIO CABINET MINISTER SAYS IT’S TOO SOON TO WORRY ABOUT DONALD TRUMP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
T
ORONTO — A senior Ontario cabinet minister says it’s too soon to worry about Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric against NAFTA and other trade agreements. Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid says the U.S. president-elect, who’s promised to repeal or renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, can’t achieve his economic goals without “vibrant and fluent trade” with Ontario and Canada. “I’m not at all convinced that the
rhetoric we heard in the campaign will transfer into problems for Ontario or Canada,” Duguid says in the text of a speech he is scheduled to deliver to the Canadian Club of Toronto on Wednesday. “I’m not ignoring it either, just trying to keep it in perspective now that I’ve had the opportunity to emotionally remove myself from the result.” Duguid said Canada and the U.S. do $687 billion in trade each year, and half of that comes from Ontario alone. “Make no mistake,” said Duguid. “They need us nearly as much as we need them.” Ontario has gained 641,000 net new jobs since the recession, unem-

ployment is 6.4 per cent — below the national average for 18 consecutive months — and the province’s GDP is forecast to be 2.5 per cent this year, leading the G7. “So there’s really no way to argue against the fact that Ontario’s economy overall is strong and growing,” said Duguid. Some people have good reason to feel they’ve been left behind “because they have,” said Duguid, especially those that used to work in the manufacturing sector that was hard hit during the recession. “There are many blue-collar and service workers who lost their good-paying jobs in the last recession…and are still outside the labour market,” he said. The fact that the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.9 per cent under President Barack Obama didn’t seem to matter on election day, added Duguid. “I believe that Donald Trump’s campaign struck a chord with Americans who feel disconnected from the economic growth others are experiencing.
“I think we can learn from that.” A lot of Canadians were “knocked a little off balance” by Trump’s election win last week, but it’s “important that we quickly regain our footing,” said Duguid. Incumbent governments everywhere must recognize “there is a real fundamental disconnect between what many folks are feeling and the economic indicators,” warned Duguid. “Some folks, many folks are feeling anxious about their place in this new economy, and the prospects for them and their children,” he said. “We’d be foolish to assume that this anxiety isn’t present in our own backyard.” There’s no rolling back the clock to the good old days, so Ontario and Canada will “plan, build and excel to be leaders in the good new days ahead,” said Duguid. “At the same time, we cannot leave behind those folks who are disconnected or frightened by the new economy,” he said. “We must ensure they have a voice.”

regular people?”’ He said Canada wanted to avoid an unnecessary first fight — why antagonize, he said, the most important foreign partner without even sitting down to consider improvements that might benefit workers? All three panellists at a recent Canada-U.S. event at Johns Hopkins University said it was wise to get out early. “The right thing to do is exactly what the prime minister has done — that is to initiate discussion, to engage, right at the beginning,” said Charles Doran, director of Canadian studies at the school. “It’s very important for Canada to get started with that conversation early. I think that was very smart.” Dan Restrepo, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, said it’s important for Canada to maintain productive ties with the next president, even if it doesn’t yet know what Trump wants. “I think both governments have been wise in saying that they are open to (talking NAFTA),” said Restrepo, the former principal adviser to Obama for Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. “I think there is value in sitting down and even seeing what that conversation looks like.” He offered Canada three pieces of advice in dealing with Trump: “Engaging, engaging, engaging.” Canada can exercise more international clout if it works constructively with Trump, added Christopher Sands of the university’s Center for Canadian Studies.

She alluded to Trump’s reputation for taking a merciless, no-holdsbarred approach to business deals. “When it came to defending NAFTA, the most important trade agreement in Canada’s history, before even being asked, Prime Minister Trudeau offered to open up and renegotiate NAFTA.” But Canadian officials — speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation — said the move was carefully considered. First, it removes some of the drama from an early conversation. One official pointed out that NAFTA has been adjusted multiple times over the years with little suspense, tension, or even any public attention. Canada has been hoping for years to modernize NAFTA’s visa rules — considered out-of-date and cumbersome by companies that operate in both countries. NAFTA allows easy access to visas for a list of professions, but that list is more than two decades old and barely references jobs related to the digital economy. “The idea that we would say, ‘No, we’re not going to talk’ is unrealistic,” one official said. “We’re always looking to improve agreements… (We’re always asking): ‘How do you make trade work for

nternational Ice Hockey Federation President Rene Fasel said he had a “good discussion” Wednesday with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHL Players Association Executive Director Don Fehr about the world’s top hockey players participating in the 2018 Olympics in South Korea. “No hitting, and no elbows,” Fasel joked in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Bettman described the meeting as “constructive and candid.” “Still lots of issues,” Bettman wrote in an email to the AP. Fasel said his job is to raise funds for the players’ transportation and insurance. The International Olympic Committee does not want to cover those costs as it has the previous five Olympics. Fasel hopes to persuade the IOC to financially support the NHL’s participation. “It is the only league that shuts down to participate in the Winter or Summer Olympics,” Fasel said. Bettman and NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly declined to comment on a Sportsnet report indicating the league has offered to sign off on al-
lowing players to go for gold in South Korea in exchange for the union not opting out of the collective bargaining agreement in September 2019, which would in effect extend the deal for three years. “There have been some suggestions that could be construed that that discussion would be worth having,” Fehr told reporters in New York. “Obviously, we discuss that with players. We have begun that process, but we’re a long way from done.” Bettman has said a decision would need to be made by early January at the latest, giving the league time to create its 2017-18 schedule with or without a two-plus week break for the Olympics. Fasel isn’t in a rush. “We can wait longer because we want to do all we can to keep best-on-best hockey in the Olympics,” Fasel said. NHL and NHLPA officials recently visited the Olympic site in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and have deemed it suitable for international competition. Whether the world’s best hockey players go to South Korea in about 15 months is up to the league and union, though Russian superstar Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals has said he will go even if there isn’t an agreement.

Capitals hammer Penguins thanks to Backstrom BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Capitals 7 Penguins 1 ASHINGTON — Determined to get out of their recent funk and motivated to measure up to the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Washington Capitals took out their frustrations in a 7-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night. The score was indicative of just how lopsided the game was as the Capitals got two goals and three assists from Nicklas Backstrom and two goals and two assists from T.J. Oshie. They scored short-handed, at even strength and on the power play and skated the Penguins out of the building in the rivals’ second meeting of the season. “We played really quick tonight, we got on their D-men,” said Backstrom, who tied his career high with five points. “We were hungry out there and we won battles and obviously we scored on our chances, too. That’s huge.” Washington had lost two in a row and three of four and didn’t look at all like a team that lost in overtime Tuesday night at Columbus. Alex Ovechkin ended his four-game point drought with his eighth goal of the season, and Dmitry Orlov and Justin Williams also scored. Ovechkin got a scare when he was taken down by Kris Letang in the second period, leaving the ice briefly before returning a few minutes later. He said his arm went numb but that he was healthy enough to come back and contribute to the blowout. “It’s nice to see when we play like that, we stick together and we don’t give them anything or much,” Ovechkin said. “It’s a good sign.” It’s a bad sign for the Penguins to put up that kind of effort despite being rested. Pittsburgh allowed a short-handed goal to Oshie early and took nine minor penalties as things fell apart. “These games are humbling,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. “We were embarrassed out there tonight, all of us.” Cup-winning goaltender Matt Murray left the game late in the first period after teammate Evgeni Malkin accidentally hit him in the head when he was trying to shove Capitals defenceman Karl Alzner. Murray said he went through the NHL’s concussion protocol and was medically cleared to return, but Sullivan opted to stick with Marc-Andre Fleury out of an abundance of caution. After Murray allowed two goals on 14 shots, Fleury gave up five goals on 25 shots. Phil Kessel scored the Penguins’ only goal in garbage time as they lamented a wasted game. “It’s a couple my faults, a couple penalties,” Malkin said. “We’re not ready today. Washington lost last two games. They’re hungry. They deserved this win.” The Capitals didn’t let up and poured on the points as the Penguins’ penalties and mistakes added up. Twelve different players had at least one point, and the beleaguered power play got some much-needed practice and went 2 for 7, scoring at 4-on-3 and 5-on-3. No matter the source of the offensive explosion, this was the kind of game Washington would like to play on a regular basis. “We played fast,” said goaltender Braden Holtby, who stopped 25 of 27 shots. “We didn’t stop skating all night. Just watching the last couple games, it seemed like we were just missing a couple strides here and there to keep that team speed up. Tonight guys were committed. I think it was a game where we realized we need to be better and play more to our identity.”

Flames beat Coyotes in overtime BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Calgary 2 Arizona 1 (OT) ALGARY — Michael Frolik scored 49 seconds into overtime to give the Calgary Flames a 2-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday night. Frolik stole the puck from Brad Richardson after a faceoff in the Flames end and skated in at top speed and ripped a shot inside the post on Coyotes goalie Mike Smith. Matthew Tkachuk scored for Calgary (7-10-1) in regulation time. The Flames snapped a threegame home losing skid. Tobias Rieder scored for Arizona (5-9-1). The Coyotes wrap up the short two-game trip against Vancouver on Thursday. Down 1-0 and held to only 13 shots through 40 minutes, the Flames tied it 6:40 into the third. From a sharp angle just above the goal line, Tkachuk ripped a shot under the crossbar on Smith. It was the rookie’s fourth goal.
C
The third period saw Calgary controlling play but unable to get the go-ahead goal. Among Smith’s stops in the period was a stick save off Dennis Wideman and a sharp pad stop off Troy Brouwer. After an uneventful and scoreless first period, Calgary went to the attack to begin the second. On the opening shift, Tkachuk shot wide on a partial breakaway, Smith jabbed out a pad to deny Frolik from in-tight and TJ Brodie’s wrist shot from the low slot was turned aside. Five minutes later, Frolik had another dangerous chance from in front only to be thwarted again, this time Smith throwing up his glove to stab Frolik’s snapshot from 20 feet out. Arizona took the lead with 18 seconds left in the second when Rieder pounced on a Justin Martinook rebound and buried it behind Flames starter Chad Johnson. It was the first game in what will be an extended stretch for Calgary without leading scorer Johnny Gaudreau, who underwent finger surgery on Wednesday after getting injured Tuesday.

Burris comfortable with underdog role BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
O
TTAWA — Veteran quarterback Henry Burris knows many people aren’t favouring the Ottawa Redblacks to win the Eastern Final this weekend and that’s fine with him. The Redblacks host the Edmonton Eskimos on Sunday afternoon with a trip to next week’s Grey Cup on the line. Edmonton is looking to become the first crossover team to advance to the CFL championship game. “Nobody ever gives us a chance,” Burris said Wednesday. “Everybody’s talking about what Edmonton did last year and yes they won the Grey Cup, but we’ve had success against Edmonton this year and we want to do what we can to continue the success that we’ve had.” The Redblacks are 2-0 against Edmonton this season, but the Eskimos come in having won six of their past seven games. Ottawa finished first in the East with a mediocre 8-9-1 record while Edmonton was fourth in the West at 10-8. Despite their inconsistent play, the Redblacks are still just one victory away from a Grey Cup appearance. “We know we have our hands full,” Burris said. “This is a challenge we look forward to. Nobody’s going to give us any respect, that’s just how it’s been. All we’ve done is win two East-

The Redblacks have no problem being seen as the underdogs as they prepare to host the Edmonton Eskimos in the East final. ern Division titles and put us in a position to host the Eastern Final and be one step away to go to the Grey Cup. “It’s not people betting against us,
it’s people who are jealous of what we’re doing because their teams aren’t doing it so we’re excited to get out there and play football and get a
victory.” The Redblacks will be rested after a bye week while the Eskimos are coming off a 24-21 win in Hamilton last weekend. However, Ottawa struggled after bye weeks in the regular season, losing by over three touchdowns on both occasions. Players and coaches remember the losses well and say this last bye week was not your average week off. “This is a whole different situation,” said head coach Rick Campbell. “We’ve been here working and practising and it’s a playoff game to go to the Grey Cup so motivation won’t be an issue.” A number of Ottawa players have been able to recover from minor injuries and now feel fresh going into Sunday’s game. Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly left the Eastern semifinal with an injury, but said he expects to play against the Redblacks. “Either way whoever it is, we know we’re going to get a competitive team,” said Ottawa lineman Moton Hopkins. “We’re going to face a good quarterback and we’re going to have to play our best game.” Last week, Eskimos running back John White was instrumental in Edmonton’s win over the Tiger-Cats with 20 carries for 160 yards and two touchdowns. Ottawa held White to just 14 carries for 89 yards and one touchdown over two regular-season games.

O’Shea quiet on future with Bombers, defends controversial call BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

coming off their best season in years. “I like what we started, but I’m not prepared to discuss my contract and future with anybody but (general manager) Kyle (Walters),” O’Shea said Wednesday at a press conference. The Bombers posted an 11-7 record this season, the first time they’ve had that many wins since 2003. It was a mark that also sent them to the playoffs for the first time since

2011, although it ended with a 32-31 loss to the B.C. Lions in last Sunday’s West Division semifinal. While he didn’t want to talk about his future, O’Shea, 46, did answer more questions about the recent past, particularly his final call of the season. After leading throughout the entire game, the Bombers found themselves behind with 36 seconds left. In a third-
down situation with four yards to go, O’Shea sent kicker Justin Medlock out to attempt a 61-yard field goal. O’Shea said he didn’t consult with anyone such as offensive co-ordinator Paul LaPolice about the call. “It’s got to be my thing,” he said.

CFL
Lions look to hand Stamps first home loss BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
C
hris Rainey and the B.C. Lions will try to do what no other CFL team could this season: Beat the Calgary Stampeders at home. Calgary hosts B.C. in the West Division final Sunday. Not only did the Stampeders post a CFL-best 15-2-1 record but they won the season series with the Lions 2-1 and were 9-0 at McMahon Stadium. That included a 44-41 overtime victory over B.C. on July 29. Calgary outscored the Lions 22-7 in the fourth before Rene Parades’ winning field goal in the extra session. But Calgary must be wary of Rainey. His 73-yard punt return TD led B.C. to a season-opening 20-18 home win over Calgary on June 25. Rainey also scored on a one-yard run in the contest, then had a 95-yard punt return touchdown in the Stampeders’ overtime victory. On Sept. 18, 2016, Rainey accumulated 333 total return yards and scored twice — on identical 103-yard kickoff and punt returns — in Calgary’s 35-23 home win. But Rainey and the Lions still face an uphill battle Sunday. It’s no accident Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell is a finalist for the CFL’s outstanding player award for a second straight year. The 26-year-old Texan threw a league-high 32 TD passes and was second overall in passing yards (5,385). Mitchell had 233 passing yards in the season opener but threw for over 300 yards and five TDs in Calgary’s two wins over B.C. The Stampeders not only led the CFL in scoring (32.6 points per game) but allowed a league-low 20 sacks. Jerome Messam, a finalist for the outstanding Canadian award, was the top rusher with 1,198 yards and scored 12 TDs. Jonathon Jennings anchors a B.C. offence that was first in rushing TDs (23), rushing yards (115.7 per game) and yards per play (7.1) and third in scoring (30.3 points). The 24-year-old sophomore helped rally the Lions to a 32-31 West Division semifinal win over Winnipeg on Sunday, passing for 329 yards and two touchdowns while running for another. B.C. finished the game without veteran receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux (concussion, ankle). Lions coach Wally Buono said this week Arceneaux and Shawn Gore — who didn’t play Sunday due to a concussion-like symptoms — are possibilities against Calgary. Missing Arceneaux would hurt. The six-foot-two, 215-pound Arceneaux was B.C.’s top receiver — and third in the CFL — with 105 catches for 1,566 yards and 13 TDs and com-

But both offences face stiff challenges. Calgary’s defence was the CFL’s stingiest, allowing 20.5 points per game and just 72.4 yards rushing. It also finished tied with B.C. for most sacks (52) and with Ottawa for fewest rushing TDs (11) while Stampeders’ defensive end Charleston Hughes was tops in sacks (16). B.C. surrendered a league-low 337.7 yards per game, just ahead of Calgary (339.3), and allowed just 72.7 rushing yards. Linebackers Solomon Elimimian (CFL-best 129 tackles) and Adam Bighill (108) anchor the middle. If there’s a concern for Calgary, it’s having not played since the Montreal loss. But Mitchell and Co. have spoken often this year about the importance of maintaining focus on the big prize, namely the Grey Cup. Now that the playoffs have finally arrived for the Stamps, it’s hard to bet against them at home. Pick — Calgary.
East Final Edmonton Eskimos versus Ottawa Redblacks (Sunday afternoon) Mike Reilly is a man of his word. After suffering an upper-body injury late in Edmonton’s 24-21 East Division semifinal win over Hamilton, the veteran quarterback emphatically stated he’d play in this weekend’s conference final against the Ottawa Redblacks. The return Wednesday of Thomas DeMarco prompted questions regarding Reilly’s health. But Reilly practised and threw effectively, then said he was “good to go.” Backup James Franklin threw for 335 yards and four TDs in Edmonton’s 41-17 regular-season finale win over Toronto but Reilly is the club’s undisputed offensive leader. He finished first overall in passing (5,554 yards) and second in TD strikes (28). Last year, Reilly returned from injury to lead Edmonton on a 10-game win streak, capping it with an MVP performance in the Eskimos’ 26-20 Grey Cup win over Ottawa. And although the Redblacks (8-9-1) became the first team in CFL history to finish atop a division with a sub-.500
record, they were 2-0 against Edmonton. And veteran Henry Burris, the CFL’s outstanding player last season and a multiple Grey Cup champion, will be under centre for the defending East champions. Burris will have plenty of options at his disposal. Ernest Jackson, the East Division’s outstanding player nominee, Chris Williams, Greg Ellingson and Brad Sinopoli all cracked the 1,000-yard receiving plateau for a second straight year, a CFL first. However, Williams (knee) won’t play Sunday. Ottawa must contend with an Edmonton ground game that accumulated 180 yards against Hamilton. And when Reilly goes back to pass, he’ll have Adarius Bowman and Derel Walker, who finished 1-2 in CFL receiving, to look for. The Eskimos come in having won three straight and six of seven. They’re 6-3 against East Division rivals and 6-4 on the road as they look to become the first crossover team to reach the Grey Cup. Pick — Edmonton. Last week: 2-0 Overall: 50-32-1.

Knee injury sidelines Stamkos indefinitely BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NHL
Leafs’ rookie not intimidated by NHL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
T
ORONTO — Nikita Zaitsev sees no reason why he should be intimidated by the National Hockey
League. “I’m not 17-years-old so why I should be scared?” the 25-year-old defenceman from Moscow said defiantly, citing his extensive KHL and international experience. The oldest and least heralded of Toronto’s rookie crop plays with a steely swagger that belies his limited NHL experience. For example, Zaitsev is eagerly a awaiting a rematch with Sidney Crosby despite a recent humbling at the hands of the Penguins superstar. “He plays hard and he doesn’t really care about what other people think and that’s a good thing,” said teammate Leo Komarov. Komarov didn’t think that had anything to do with Zaitsev’s age or history of overseas play. “I think it’s just the way he is,” Komarov said. Signing a one-year contract with the Leafs in the summer, the undrafted Zaitsev had apparently been getting ready to play in the NHL for some time, preparing himself mentally for nightly tests against the stars he’d spent so much time watching at home in Russia. Teammates believe his strong self-belief compliments his talents. “He knew he could step in and be effective,” fellow defenceman Connor
Carrick said. “And at the same time, the reason he’s confident is he’s got a really strong skill-set.” A strong skater with suave puck skills and good size (six foot two, almost 200 pounds), Zaitsev has quickly risen to the Leafs top defensive pairing, already taking on almost 22 minutes per-game, third most among NHL rookies. His seven points (all assists) are also tied for third among first-year defencemen. Leafs coach Mike Babcock knew he liked Zaitsev before the season got going and had an idea of how the rookie might be able to contribute, but wasn’t certain what he’d get from a player used to a foreign league, bigger rink and entirely different world. “I didn’t know he was going to be a pro like he is,” Babcock said. Specifically, Babcock said, Zaitsev is “way more competitive than I could have hoped.” Witness his testy front-of-the-net battles with Ryan Johansen on Tuesday night. Or his hard check of P.K. Subban into the end boards. Or his jawing with Filip Forsberg. Or a confident drive down the left side of the ice, his backhand attempt on Predators goalie Marak Mazanec requiring a crafty shoulder save. Zaitsev played more 22 minutes against Nashville in Toronto’s 6-2 win and while he and Morgan Rielly struggled some against the Preds’ top line, the duo ultimately weren’t scored against.

AMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos has a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee and will be sidelined indefinitely. General manager Steve Yzerman announced the diagnosis Wednesday after Stamkos returned home for further evaluation of the injury the two-time NHL scoring champion suffered Tuesday night in a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. “We are in the process of evaluating options for repair and rehabilitation and will release more information as it becomes available,” Yzerman said. Stamkos, who last summer resigned with the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2008 rather than testing free agency, scored his ninth goal against the Red Wings and leads the NHL with 20 points in 17 games. The six-time All-Star centre grabbed the back of his knee and limped off the ice to the dressing room after colliding with Detroit’s Gustav Nyquist along the boards.
It’s the third significant injury Stamkos has had over the past three years. After helping Tampa Bay reach the 2015 Stanley Cup Final, he missed all but one game of last season’s playoffs after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot discovered near his STEVEN STAMKOS collarbone. He also missed significant playing time three years ago, when he broke his right leg against Boston in November 2013 and was sidelined 45 games. The 26-year-old cited loyalty, respect and the potential to win for years as major reasons for re-signing with the Lightning rather than testing free agency, where he likely would have commanded much more than the $68 million he’s scheduled to earn over the next eight seasons.

GOLF
Chappell has done every thing right but win this year BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
S
T. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Offer one mulligan to Kevin Chappell for the last year and the rules are bound to be broken. He mentioned the tee shot on the 18th hole at Bay Hill that was buried in deep rough and forced him to lay up, and he finished one shot behind Jason Day. He mentioned the tee shot on the 17th hole at East Lake that missed the fairway by two steps and sunk to the bottom of the Bermuda rough, leading to an untimely bogey at the Tour Championship that cost him the lead. Halfway through talking about the tee shot on the 18th in regulation at East Lake, he was reminded he could take only one shot back. “I know, I know,” Chappell replied. “How about 18 at Bay Hill?” he said after a long pause. “If I handled that situation differently, maybe the other two don’t happen.” It’s easy to think about everything that didn’t go Chappell’s way over the last year because he is still searching for his first PGA Tour victory going into the RSM Classic at Sea Island, the final official PGA Tour event of the year. The 30-year-old Californian doesn’t see it that way. He was runner-up three times against some of the strongest fields, losing to the top two players in the world without doing much wrong. Jason Day beat him at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship, and Rory McIlroy beat Chappell and Ryan Moore at the Tour Championship. Chappell rose to No. 28 in the world and went places he had never been. He played in the World Golf Championships for the first time, at the Bridgestone Invitational (tie for third behind Dustin Johnson) and the HSBC Champions. He made his inaugural trip to the British Open. He’ll make his debut in the Masters next year. Missing from that itinerary is Kapalua for the winners-only Tournament of Champions. “The competitor in me never wants to get that close that many times and not close,” Chappell said. “In the long run, that might be a great thing.” He mentioned the patience of Steve Stricker and the relatively slow start by Day, the No. 1 player in the world who won just one time in his first six years on tour. Chappell finished last season at No. 8 on the money list with just over $4.5 million. It’s hard to get hung up on the negatives. “It can never be a bad thing to play that much good golf,” Chappell said. If he were to win this week — he was runner-up a year ago to Kevin Kisner — he won’t go to Kapalua because his wife, Elizabeth, is due to give birth to their second child in January. Chappell’s final event of the year is the Franklin Templeton Shootout, another perk to having a big year. His partner is Kisner, which is only fitting. Few players can appreciate the kind of year Chappell had. When he showed up at Sea Island last year, Kisner had been runner-up four times over the previous seven months without doing much wrong. Rickie Fowler beat him in a playoff at The Players Championship. So did Jim Furyk at Hilton Head. He lost another playoff at Greenbrier, and Russell Knox beat him in Shanghai. Kisner saw only good golf, and he blew away everyone at Sea Island to win by six shots. “If you keep doing what you’re doing and you keep putting yourself in that position, you’re going to win one,” Kisner said. “It’s just a matter of time.

Kevin Chappell reacts after hitting his tee shot into the rough along the 18th fairway during the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational golf tournament, in Orlando, Fla, earlier this year. It’s easy to think about everything that didn’t go Chappell’s way over the last year because he is still searching for his first PGA Tour victory going into the RSM Classic at Sea Island, the final official PGA Tour event of the year. You’ve got to stay patient. He’s a hell of a player and he’s going to win plenty of times on tour in the next few years.” Chappell had a one-shot lead when his tee shot on the 18th at Bay Hill found the rough, and by the time he faced his 25-foot par putt, Day made a birdie on the 17th to catch him and then won with a par on the 18th. Chappell birdied the 16th at the Tour Championship for a two-shot lead. But his tee shot in the rough forced him to lay up (bogey), McIlroy made birdie in front of him to tie for the lead and Chappell’s tee shot on the par-5 18th kept him from
a reasonable birdie chance for the win. His final-round score in his runner-up finishes over the last year: 67, 69, 69, 66. So when he looks back — at moments, not trophies — he has no qualms declaring this a good year. “I’d be doing myself a disservice to look at it negatively,” he said. “And there’s stuff to look forward to as I sit here today.” A baby in January. His first Masters in April. And right ahead of him is one last chance to leave no doubt what kind of year it has been.

Golden State 127 Toronto 121 oronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey had tried to make light of his team’s impossibly tough twogame stretch. “The computer that spit out the schedule, I’m going to find it and break it,” Casey had joked. Facing last year’s NBA finalists on back-to-back nights indeed proved too tough for the Raptors, who dropped a 127-121 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, a night after a 121-117 loss to the NBA champion Cavaliers in Cleveland. “Played both of the best teams in the NBA, we were right there, had a couple stretches where we could have put it away, but (we) gave it away,” said DeMar DeRozan. Stephen Curry scored 35 points, and Kevin Durant added 30 to lead the Warriors to their fifth straight win. DeRozan had 34 points, the ninth time in 11 games the league’s leading scorer has topped the 30-point mark. But
T
it wasn’t enough to make up for a dreadful second quarter that saw the Warriors (92) roar back from a 10-point deficit, outscoring Toronto 3215 in the frame. “The second quarter was great, one of the best quarters we’ve played,” said Golden State coach Steve Kerr. The Raptors (7-4) looked tired, the Air Canada Centre crowd grew quiet, and the Warriors had stretched their lead to 19 points by early in the third. “We got away from our defensive focus,” Casey said on the second-quarter lull. “Same thing (Tuesday) night, we got screwed up on some switches and mental mistakes that cost us and once a team like that gets on a roll, it’s difficult to get it stopped. “These two games are a good test for us, they let us know how quickly mental mistakes will cost you and breakdowns will cost you and then in the second half when we got focused in, locked in, we started switching some things properly, talking, communicating we kind of got back in the game,” he continued. “But you can’t have lulls like that against great teams.”

Harvesting a bigger debt in Saskatchewan REVENUE DROP MEANS SASKATCHEWAN DEFICIT CREEPS CLOSER TO $1B: FINANCE MINISTER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
R
EGINA — A big drop in revenue has pushed Saskatchewan’s expected $434-million deficit for this year closer to $1 billion. Finance Minister Kevin Doherty says that’s because revenue is down $600 million. The province is bringing in less in income taxes, provincial sales tax and its fuel tax, Doherty said Wednesday. “You combine all of those together, it’s about $400 million down from what we forecast at budget on June 1.” And revenue from natural resources is down about $200 million, primarily because of lower potash and uranium prices, he added. Doherty said he’ll provide more details on the deficit and measures to curb it in a budget update soon. “There’s been some promises made in 2007, the 2011 election and again in 2016, campaign promises made by this party that have costs associated with them that we’ll perhaps be either suspending or rolling back when we announce mid-year next week.” The Saskatchewan Party campaigned on a promise not to raise taxes this year, Doherty said, but the public may feel the pinch as the government looks at ways to save money. “We have a level of spending that’s not sustainable at the current levels of what our revenues are.” The province has to get “at the heart of the matter” by looking at where the vast majority of money is spent, he added. Most of the provincial budget goes to health, education and social services. The finance minister said it will be difficult to balance the budget in the next fiscal year — which he had previously said was the government’s goal. The province has already appointed a special commissioner to recommend options for fewer health regions and more efficient delivery of services. The same kind of review is being done of the
Business BRIEFS Bank of Canada says central bank does not need to move in step with U.S. Fed WATERLOO, Ont. — An increase in interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve will affect Canada, but Bank of Canada deputy governor Timothy Lane says that doesn’t mean the central bank is under any pressure to follow suit. “We are free to adjust our policy interest rate in the context of Canadian economic conditions — and, in particular, do not need to move in step with the Federal Reserve,” Lane said in prepared remarks of a speech delivered Wednesday in Waterloo, Ont. The comments come amid rising expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise its key interest rate next month. Changes by the U.S. Federal Reserve will have some bearing on Canada, Lane said, and the cen-

Saskatchewan Finance Minister Kevin Doherty announced Wednesday that the province is looking at a deficit of one billion dollars, and not the $434 million it expected. kindergarten to Grade 12 school system. Cost-cutting measures have already been brought in. A drug plan for children and seniors was increased by $5 a prescription to $25. That affected 66,600 families and 120,000 seniors. A tax credit for families with children in cultural, recreational and sports activities was also scrapped and urban parks in five cities lost funding. The Opposition NDP said a ballooning deficit is the reason the Saskatchewan Party didn’t release
the budget before the April 4 election. “This summer they went back to the secrecy and refused to release a quarterly update,” said finance critic Cathy Sproule. “And now they’re playing politics with leaks outside of the assembly and are trying to soften the ground, so they can bring even more cuts at a time when nearly 11,000 more Saskatchewan people find themselves looking for work compared to a year ago.”

periods of 25 years or less. The mortgage rate hikes come amid a sell-off in the bond market and recent federal mortgage rule changes that have made it more expensive for banks to get access to cash.
TD Bank joins Royal Bank of Canada in increasing fixed mortgage rates TORONTO — TD Bank (TSX:TD) has raised its fixed mortgage rates, ahead of a similar move by the Royal Bank of Canada as the costs of borrowing rise. TD spokeswoman Cheryl Ficker says the lender has raised its special rate offer for a four-year fixed mortgage by five basis points to 2.44 per cent and a five-year fixed mortgage by 10 basis points to 2.69 per cent. RBC (TSX:RY) has said that as of Thursday, its special offer for a four-year fixed rate mortgage will rise by 30 basis points to 2.79 per cent and a five-year fixed mortgage rate will be 2.94 per cent, an increase of 30 basis points. The bank’s changes are based on amortization
Manufacturing sales increase 0.3% in September, above expectations OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says manufacturing sales rose 0.3 per cent to $51.5 billion in September, boosted by higher sales in the transportation equipment and fabricated metal industries. Economists had expected a gain of 0.1 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters. Sales were up in 12 of 21 industries, representing 70.1 per cent of the total manufacturing sector. Sales in constant dollar terms sales slipped 0.2 per cent, indicating a lower volume of goods sold. The transportation equipment industry gained 1.5 per cent to $10.6 billion in September, while fabricated metal product sales increased 2.4 per cent to $2.7 billion. The primary metal product industry fell 3.4 per cent to $3.8 billion. Statistics Canada said sales were up in five provinces, with gains in Quebec and Ontario partly offset by declines in New Brunswick.

by metals, energy and gold stocks. The biggest gainer on the commodity-heavy market was consumer staples, helped by a spike by grocery giants Loblaw Co. (TSX:L) and Metro Inc. (TSX:MRU). Both supermarket chains reported strong profits in the latest quarter. Loblaw, which saw its profits more than double year-over-year, saw its shares rise $2.11, or 3.26 per cent, to $66.91, while stock in Metro, which reported a 10 per cent increase, gained 96 cents, or 2.36 per cent, to $41.71. Cynthia Caskey, a portfolio manager and vice president at TD Wealth, says the increases show that investors are still paying attention to fundamentals in the stock market to determine value. “We’re starting to see a better appreciation when earnings do matter,” she
said. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 54.92 points to 18,868.14, ending a seven-day winning streak and four record closes. “There’s been a whole repositioning going on in the market, and that’s kind of played itself out in the last week or so,” Caskey said. The broader S&P 500 slipped 3.45 points to 2,176.94 and the Nasdaq composite gained 18.96 points at 5,294.58. Commodity markets were mostly lower as the December crude oil contract lost 24 cents to US$45.57 per barrel, December gold contracts declined 60 cents at US$1,223.90 per ounce, and December copper shed four cents to US$2.47 per pound. The December contract for natural gas found
strength, adding six cents at US$2.76 per mmBtu. The Canadian dollar was largely flat, advancing 0.03 of a cent at 74.40 cents US.

For a decadent feast, you want an over-the-top mash potatoes BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
T
he best mashed potatoes are worth bickering over. They’re the food equivalent of a warm blanket on a comfy couch in front of a fireplace, which, incidentally, is my other favourite part of Thanksgiving. And the best ones strike a delicate balance. They’ll stand out — but not too much. Mashed potatoes must be versatile. They need to taste good next to every single thing piled high on that Thanksgiving plate, because they’re the glue that binds it all together. Make them too weird, like the green jalapeño mashed potato recipe I encountered, or too rich, like a hedonistic hazelnut-and-brown-butter mash I tried, and the meal will feel off-kilter. They’re a team player that can work equally well with, say, seitan loaf as with gravy, but they don’t take attention away from the star of the table. They also need to be decadent, because Thanksgiving is decadent. Load ‘em up with butter and cream, with garlic and cheese. More is more, says the 8-year-old me, who would wake up the day after Thanksgiving, mosey to the kitchen and eat leftover mashed potatoes for breakfast. Save your austerity for another part of the plate, like the salad. That’s why José Andrés’s Spanish mashed potatoes will be on my family’s Thanksgiving menu this year. Imbued with roasted garlic, and mashed with olive oil, cream and Manchego cheese, they’re a more indulgent and flavorful version of the dish that many families already make. It will be a great addition to our table this year — next to all the other potatoes. Mashed Potatoes With Manchego and Olive Oil 12 servings Cheese and oil, instead of butter, add extra richness here. Be sure to add the oil gradually, so it’s evenly incorporated. MAKE AHEAD: The mashed potatoes can be refrigerated up to 3 days in advance; to reheat, cover and
steam in a heatproof bowl over a pot of barely bubbling water, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Adapted from a recipe by chef José Andrés on the Food and Wine magazine website. Ingredients 2 heads garlic, top third of each cut off 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, preferably Spanish, plus more for drizzling 6 pounds baking (russet) potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks Kosher salt 3 cups heavy cream 8 ounces young Manchego cheese, cut into 1/4-inch dice Chopped chives, for serving (optional) Steps Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle the exposed garlic lightly with oil, then wrap each head in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Roast for about 1 hour, until the garlic is soft. Squeeze the cloves from the skins into a medium bowl and mash with a fork to a pastelike consistency. Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by a few inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and add a generous pinch or two of salt. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Heat the cream in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot over medium-high heat. Cook for 1 minute (to evaporate excess moisture), then mash with a potato masher. Add half the heated cream, mashing until well incorporated. Add the remaining cream, stirring to incorporate, then add the cheese, stirring until it has melted. Gradually stir in the mashed garlic and 3 tablespoons of the oil until well incorporated. Taste, and add salt as needed. Just before serving, transfer the warmed potatoes to a bowl; top with the remaining tablespoon of oil and with chives, if desired.

Tomato and rice soup.
FOOD
A golden secret in every slurp of this soup BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
“
This is peasant soup,” say the authors of a new cookbook featuring the foods of Sicily, and I’m sure they meant that in the nicest way. The recipe calls for inexpensive ingredients and whatever vegetables are on hand. There’s also schmaltz — glorious chicken fat, which provides an unmistakable umami note. Buy a small container of it now and stash it in your freezer for use during the holidays; melt a little into caramelizing onions on the stove top or fry some latkes in it, for starters. If that’s not in your wheelhouse, you can use extra-virgin olive oil instead. The rice is brown, and we’ve used the instant kind to keep things quick. You’ll see that this recipe from Sicily: Recipes From an Italian Island by Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi (Hardie Grant) makes more than you can eat in an evening, but this soup will keep for almost a week and will welcome add-ins of shredded rotisserie chicken or napa cabbage — or even a whisked-in egg, a la egg drop soup — for subsequent, different meals. Tomato and Rice Soup 6 to 8 servings (makes about 9 cups), Healthy You can use extra-virgin olive oil to keep things vegetarian. The recipe makes a big batch, but you can change
it up from day to day by adding a protein such as cooked beans or chickpeas or shredded rotisserie chicken. The original dish calls for a final flourish of garlicky toasted bread crumbs with Parmesan, which certainly sounds like a fine idea if you have a few more minutes to spend and an accommodating pantry. Adapted from Sicily: Recipes From an Italian Island, by Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi (Hardie Grant Books, 2016). Ingredients 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons schmaltz (rendered chicken fat; may substitute additional extra-virgin olive oil; see headnote) 3 small carrots 1 medium onion 3 ribs celery Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) 2 tablespoons tomato paste, preferably double-concentrated 1 cup instant brown rice (uncooked) 8 cups no-salt-added chicken or vegetable broth 2 bay leaves One 14.5-ounce can no-salt-added canned plum tomatoes, plus their juices
3 1/2 ounces baby spinach leaves Steps Heat the extra-virgin olive oil and schmaltz in a heavy Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Meanwhile, scrub the carrots well. Peel the onion. Cut the carrots, onion and celery into small dice (about 1 cup each), stirring them into the pot as you work. Season generously with salt and black pepper, and the crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring a few times, until the vegetables begin to soften. Reduce the heat as needed if any of their edges begin to brown. Clear a space at the center of the pot; add the tomato paste and cook for a minute or two, until fragrant, then stir in the brown rice, broth, bay leaves and the tomatoes and their juices. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook for about 20 minutes. Uncover and discard the bay leaves. Use a potato masher to further break down the tomatoes and any vegetables. Taste, and add salt and/or pepper as needed. Stir in the spinach leaves just before serving.

KITCHEN CONFESSIONS
Buddha Bowls: your new foodie best buddy T
he world we live in can be a crazy place. Every day, we are reminded of the chaos outside of our homes, all while we are trying to function in our own lives — even on the most basic level, trying to feed and nourish ourselves and the ones we care for. Some people are picky with foods, some are intolerant or and some people choose not Shannon allergic to eat certain foods for ethical or Yacyshyn religious regions. Allow me introduce you to a dish that may temporarily take you away from the chaos and satisfy almost everyone in your circles — the Buddha Bowl. I didn’t invent the Buddha Bowl. Go into any health-conscious café or restaurant and I’ll bet you will find one on the menu. What is it? It’s healthy, happy and calm — exactly what you want in meal. The Buddha Bowl can be ready when you’re ready and the best part: customizable to suit the palates of all those who choose to let it into their lives! Think Zen in a bowl. Peace on a platter. Ah, who am I kidding? This is just a really good meal that fits everyone’s tastes, so why not “let the light in” for a little while? This salad can be broken down into four prep groups: the green stuff, the proteins, the carbs and my favourite part: the dressing that pulls it all together. By pre-assembling the ingredients, you will not only save you time during the week, which equals less week-day stress, but there’s something about washing and chopping healthy fresh food that is also really calming. Maybe that’s just me? The greens are really easy to assemble. Take a stroll through your favourite produce section or market for inspiration. I usually grab kale, carrots, beets, Napa cabbage, purple cabbage, peppers, avocado, pea shoots, fresh herbs and seasonal fruit. Prep all your vegetables; grate root vegetables with a standard box grater, chop all the other veggies and store in airtight containers for when you’re ready to assemble your bowls. Proteins are also really easy to modify for whomever you’re trying to feed. Pre-cooked chicken, pork, steak, salmon or shrimp would all be really good on top of a Buddha Bowl. Marinated tofu, chickpeas and chopped nuts are also amazing meat-free protein options. I also usually add goat cheese or feta for a bit of creaminess. It’s nice to have a bit of carbs in a meal, so while you are prepping your greens and proteins, cook up some brown rice, quinoa or rice noodles. I’ve recently discovered that adding granola to the bowl tastes amazing and adds some nice crunchy texture. Now to pull the whole thing together, make yourself a flavourful dressing, like the one I’ve created below. Store it separately in an airtight container and add to the salad right before eating.

are dismayed that a bigoted, misogynistic, climate change denier has
Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS
What Makes My Dentistry ‘Unpredictable’? Dear Dr. D: I need some significant dental work. The dentist I have been seeing has talked about everything from dental implants to extensive crown and bridges. There is no question my mouth has been ignored for some time. I didn't have any funds, and now I can afford to get it fixed. He seems reluctant, however, and when I ask him what he can guarantee he keeps using the word 'unpredictable'. What is the most predictable, and what is the least predictable treatment? Is this doubletalk or what? Answer: We get asked virtually daily what will happen if we choose Plan 'A', 'B', or otherwise. The best and most honest answer sounds like a cop-out, but it is really an 'it depends' scenario. The dentistry that is the most predictable are cleanings, small fillings, and simple extractions. We're all human, and although most services we provide have repeatable results, there will NEVER be guarantees because physiology defies that. Just recently we had a case where the issue was external root resorption. There were multiple levels of bleeding on this particular tooth. We treated it with a laser to stop the bleeding, and prepared the patient for considerable short term pain because of the proximity to the nerve. It was fully expected that he would be back asking for a root canal. Surprisingly enough, he was in zero discomfort and thanked us for the wonderful dentistry we had completed for him. Frankly, this was surprising and although he thought we were all stars the surprise was ours. Just his bone/tooth structure - and the way the treatment proceeded. Any time we work on a tooth with a vital nerve, there is an 8% chance the nerve may die. That unpredictability we can never forecast. We tend to choose treatment options for our patients that have a higher, rather than lower, chance of success. Some patients claim to 'know better', and have been doing their research on the internet or have anecdotal information about a friend or relative who had something specific done that worked. We cannot rely upon any of that. Generally, as level of difficulty increases, predictability decreases. Implants are an exception. The level of success is very high, approaching 98% in many cases. Root canals are generally predictable (85%-90%), but with multiple 'canals' success lessens. If we're doing a large crown the possibility of needing a root canal increases. What you didn't mention, and your dentist may be concerned, is your history of home care. Your healing rate may be slow. Any treatment will improve its chances with good home care, plus professional regular cleanings. As in all cases, the patients who see us the most often spend the least overall to maintain excellent dental health.

Gardening
Grow some garden fresh herbs under lights T
here is a reason that good restaurants use fresh herbs in their dishes. The difference in taste and odor is noticeable to even the undiscerning palate. During the summer months, herbs are relatively easy to grow either directly in the garden or in containers. Overwintering herbs in dry warm houses is more of a challenge. Linda While many sources say that Tomlinson herbs need only four hours of direct sunlight a day, this is to survive not to flourish. The best indoor herbs are grown under lights that are on at least 12 hours a day. Plants will thrive under florescent lights. If the plants become leggy, place the light closer to the plant. As a rule, herb plants do not like wet feet. Use a potting mix that contains an even mixture of humus, peatmoss and perlite of vermiculite. The soil should be able to absorb needed water while letting excess moisture escape through drainage holes. Herbs are heavy feeders when they are actively growing. Fertilize on a regular basis when they are putting out new growth but not if the plant is dormant.
Water only when the soil is dry. Check below the surface when testing for moisture. Herbs, like other plants can become infested with insects. The best prevention is to make sure the plants are insect free when purchased or taken inside the house. When plants are infected, they can be sprayed with insecticidal soap, or depending on the type of plant, cut off and allowed to grow again. Choose to grow herbs that will be used as opposed to the ones that are easy to grow. Basil plants grow well in pots usually producing enough leaves to flavor many dishes. These plants prefer dry soil. Chives tend to require less light than many of the other herbs. It is also readily available as most gardeners have an ample supply outside. When moving it indoors, dig out a small section of root. Expect the part of the top to dieback as the plant adjusts to the new growing conditions. Cutting the top back by a third, after the plant has acclimatized will encourage new growth. Oregano grows well under lights. Pruning, or using pieces will encourage the plant to produce new growth. Rosemary is a woody plant that grows well year

Maximize your workout BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

hinking about a bigger picture when it comes to exercise — and what you want to get out of it — will change your workout philosophy in a wonderful way. It’s OK to want a “hotter body.” It’s also OK to want to get better at (insert your athletic goal here). But you’ll get better results — and achieve those other goals, too — if you adopt a new exercise philosophy. Thinking about that bigger picture will mean fewer skipped workouts, deeper thought about what exercise means as an activity and a life asset, and a more focused mind when it’s time to put on those sneakers. Exercise is medicine. You can build a body that’s resistant to illness and injury. You can improve and perhaps eliminate conditions you already have. Health and longevity may not be sexy, hot-button subjects, but regular workouts can keep you mobile and smiling well into your later years. It’s easy to say, “Go forth and work out,” but to get the most out of the prescription, you’re going to need a few extra tips. So here it is — your Exercise Prescription. Use it in good health! Exercise regularly and with purpose This is the obvious part of the prescription. If you’re not breaking a sweat, you’re not getting your optimal dose of
the world’s best medicine. All the benefits, all the goals, all the talk? Empty promises unless you’re exercising. And when I say “with purpose,” I mean that you should think about what you want out of it. That could be a goal like finishing a race or hitting a new fitness level. It could be about looking good for a class reunion or a new relationship or about fixing a health issue. That’s up to you, and it’s yours alone. But exercising is better when your mind and body are aligned for a single purpose. Remember the big picture For some, exercise is a means to an end, but for me, it’s meaningful and has no end. Movement is a part of life but also a gift. The more personal meaning you give to exercise — the privilege of movement — the more committed you’ll be to it, and the more you’ll enjoy it. Of all the positives of exercise I’ve already mentioned, here are some I haven’t: Confidence (here are some ways to boost it). Satisfaction. Perspective (use these tips to help gain it). Those who consider the big picture take nothing for granted. Never sacrifice form for volume HIIT workouts are high volume, high intensity. But proper form is crucial, especially if you’re just starting out. You may be tempted to go faster and skimp on full motion (I see way too many people doing “halfsie” pushups really fast to boost their rep count). Don’t. Continued on page 32
round in warmer climates. It requires extra light and warm temperatures to make it through the winter in Central Alberta. . Bay Leaf or Laurel is also a woody plant. It goes dormant in the winter which means there will not be new growth until the days begin to get longer. Water and feed it accordingly. Parsley is one of the easier plants to grow inside. Given enough light the plant will grow in a compact form otherwise it will grow towards the light source. Use often and it will keep producing new growth. For those that like Cilantro try Vietnamese Coriander. It is essentially the same herb as Cilantro but Coriander is often grown for its seeds. The more light this plant is given, the more it will produce. Lemon Grass is an easy grow as it thrives in water. Purchase a stem from the grocery store, cut back the top and place the stock in a couple inches of water. Expect to see side shoots appear within a couple of weeks. Fresh herbs are readily available at the grocery store but those that prefer garden fresh should try growing some under lights.

STORY FROM PAGE 31
WORKOUT: When in doubt slow down When in doubt, slow down and savour the movement. Feel the muscles engage, even during explosive movement. I’d rather you do 5 perfect reps than 15 lousy ones. Ignore form and, at best, your results will suffer. At worst, you’ll hurt yourself. Go hard You want to be out of breath. You want to drip sweat. You want to feel the burn. You do not want to hurt yourself. You do not want to collapse. You
do not want to vomit (you laugh, but some trainers think working so hard that you hurl is a good thing). That said … Keep going Never be afraid to push your limits. Seek upward Exercise isn’t just the workout. It can become something more. Talk to fellow exercisers. Look for groups (join a running group). Find a community.

And finally … Smile This is the most important part! Bring your positivity, your joy, your grin to every workout. I see far too many people who show up to workouts as if showing up for a daily root canal. Attitude really is everything. Is exercise a challenge? Of course. Does it make you work for it? Definitely. But let me tell you — from someone who has experienced far too many Mile 22s on the last leg of an Ironman triathlon — even when you’re exhausted, even when it hurts, even when you don’t think you can go one second more, the ability to call upon a smile as a secret weapon is the closest thing humans have to a superpower.

#GreenFriday event an alternative to Black Friday BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
S
ave the Redwoods League, California State Parks and the California State Parks Foundation have collaborated to create #GreenFriday, a new Thanksgiving tradition that promotes the enjoyment and appreciation of California’s magnificent state parks. Thanks to the support of members and donors from Save the Redwoods League and the California State Park Foundation, more than 13,000 free vehicle day-use passes will be available to visitors for use at one of the 116 participating state parks. The passes will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and cover day-use admission and parking fees. Some of the parks include Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park and Bolsa Chica State Beach. This Smart News Release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20161116005577/en/ “We offered free ‘Green Friday’ state park passes last year for 48 parks, and the response was overwhelming,” said Sam Hodder, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Save the Redwoods League. “We realized we had the constituency and momentum to create a new tradition, one that is a natural fit with the great American holiday of Thanksgiving. As Californians, we have every reason to give thanks for some of the world’s most stunning parks and reserves, with the help of our partners we’re expanding the program this year from 48 to 116 parks. We invite everyone to explore our ancient redwood forests, our pristine beaches, magical deserts, and noteworthy historical and cultural sites. It’s on us.” California State Parks Director Lisa Mangat noted that the Green Friday initiative caps a long and productive alliance established by the three organizations. “We’ve worked together for several years to preserve and enhance our state parks for the health, inspiration, and education of all the people of California,” Mangat said. “Green Friday speaks directly to our common goals. It allows people who might otherwise not be able to visit a park to get outdoors for a day with family and friends, and it helps us foster a general sense of stewardship for our magnificent state parks.” “On a weekend when thanks and the warmth of family and friends is on everyone’s mind, here is a wonderful way to try a new adventure together,” said California State Parks Foundation President Elizabeth Goldstein. “Whether you are revisiting a favorite park or exploring a new one for the first time, we welcome you and hope you enjoy the diversity and wonder of your state parks!” Visitors will be able to reserve and print their day-use pass starting Nov. 16 at noon on the program’s website GreenFriday.org. Please keep in mind: Passes are limited. They will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis based on each park’s capacity. Only one day-use pass is needed per vehicle, per park. The pass covers day-use admission and parking fees. Pass does not guarantee a parking space or entry if the park is full due to high demand. To ensure valid entry and avoid fines, printed passes must be presented to park staff at entry gates or displayed on vehicle dashboards if no personnel are on duty. Electronic images of the pass will not be accepted. Consider visiting a state park during the offpeak hours — opening time to 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to

UNITED STATES
Trump denies transition planning in turmoil BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
N
EW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump and his team on Wednesday vigorously rejected charges of turmoil and infighting roiling efforts to set up his White House, national security and economic teams. A week after his upset victory, Trump said the enormous endeavour was proceeding “so smoothly.” Trump dished out his rebuttal on Twitter, spending yet another day ensconced in his New York skyscraper, beyond the public eye. Aides and allies vouched for the transition efforts on his behalf, suggesting some commotion was to be expected. “The beginning of any transition like this has turmoil because it’s just the nature of the process,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said as he left Trump’s transition headquarters in Washington. He said the picture of Trump’s administration would become clearer over the next two or three weeks. Others close to the transition process described advisers “fighting for power.” Trump has long stoked internal rivalries among his staff — both in his businesses and his campaign — and has created ambiguity in his transition about who has authority to make key decisions. Eric Trump, one of the president-elect’s sons, raised expectations of imminent progress Wednesday, telling reporters in the morning that appointments were “likely” to come during the day. Then, other Trump aides suggested a slower pace. “We’re not going to rush to put names forward until we’re absolutely sure,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said hours later. “We’re going to make sure that they’re people we’re confident will pass confirmation and we think can implement the president-elect’s vision.” Trump’s team noted that President Barack Obama waited until a few weeks after the 2008 election to announce many of his Cabinet appointments. And former Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra, who has informally advised members of Trump’s national security team, blamed Trump’s detractors for the reports of drama. “When you’re doing a transition that is trying to push the kind of change that Mr. Trump wants to be

College students at campuses around the United States marched and rallied Wednesday, urging administrators to protect students and employees against immigration action under a Donald Trump presidency. doing, it’s going to be even harder,” said Hoekstra, a former House Intelligence Committee chairman. The incoming Republican administration also got a boost of support from outgoing Vice-President Joe Biden, who met with his successor, Mike Pence, continuing the Obama administration’s show of public support for the transition. “No administration is ready on Day One,” Biden said following the meeting at the Naval Observatory, which serves as the vice-presidential residence. He expressed confidence that by Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, “everything will be in good hands.” Trump’s team was essentially starting from scratch, scrapping much of the preliminary transition work New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie conducted during the campaign. After winning the election, Trump demoted Christie and put Pence in charge. The result has been a series of new additions to the transition team and several departures, mainly among those aligned with Christie. Kevin O’Connor, a former senior Justice Department official, joined that group. Trump appeared to be weighing
an eclectic mix of individuals for top Cabinet posts, including longtime loyalists, former rivals and even a Democrat. Transition officials said Trump met Wednesday with Eva Moskowitz, a former New York councilwoman and charter school founder who is being considered for education secretary. Others who passed through the marble lobby of Trump Tower included Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., a potential pick for Health and Human Services, and Ray Washburne, a Dallas businessman and top GOP fundraiser in the mix for Commerce secretary. New England Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft also entered the gilded elevators for meetings and Trump officials said later that the president-elect also met with Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., and Wall Street financier and economic adviser Steve Feinberg. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who arrived Wednesday afternoon, has been angling for secretary of state, though his consulting work for foreign governments has emerged as a potential roadblock. Trump is also said to be seriously considering John Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

WORLD
IN SHORT Mother arrested after 2-year-old son shoots 1-year-old girl BATON ROUGE, La. — Police have arrested a woman in Louisiana after her 1-year-old daughter was accidentally shot in the face by her 2-year-old son. Baton Rouge Police say 23-yearold Crystal Kinchen was arrested Wednesday and faces a charge of second-degree cruelty to a juvenile. Online jail records do not list an attorney for her. Sgt. L’Jean McKneely says the shooting happened Tuesday night while Kinchen and the two children were in a car that was parked at a strip mall. Police say the 2-year-old boy picked up a gun that was left in the vehicle, and it accidentally discharged and struck the 1-year-old girl. McKneely says the family drove the child to the hospital rather than waiting for an ambulance. The 1-year-old is in critical condition.
Bombs strike rebel-held Aleppo and northern Syria, BEIRUT — Bombs rained down on rebel-held eastern Aleppo for a second straight day Wednesday, pounding a district that houses several medical facilities, including the central blood bank, and forcing Syrian staff and patients in the only remaining pediatric hospital to cower in a basement as buildings collapsed around them. At least 54 people were killed in airstrikes and artillery shelling across northern Syria, part of a long-anticipated offensive against rebel-held areas announced by Russia, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The bombardment hit in besieged neighbourhoods of Aleppo, as well as the surrounding countryside and the nearby rebelheld province of Idlib. Russia said its air raids were only targeting Idlib and the central province of Homs to root out militants of the Islamic State group and Syria’s al-Qaida affiliate. But Syrian warplanes were pounding rebel-held districts of Aleppo, home to nearly 275,000 people. Residents said the aerial campaign intensified Wednesday. Syria’s Civil Defence, known as the White Helmets, recorded at least 150 raids.

Annie’s Mailbox
Easy solution to ease the tension of television drama D ear Annie: Both my wife and I work all day, she as a police officer and I as an accountant. When we get home, we eat dinner together and then sit in front of the TV for a little down time. The problem is that what she wants to watch to unwind is very different from what I want to watch to unwind. Annie She loves short funny shows, such as Two and a Half Men and How I Met Lane Your Mother. I, on the other hand, love dramas. My favorites are Homeland and Game of Thrones. Every night, I sit on the couch looking forward to one of my favorite shows, and she insists that we watch one of hers. She says that my shows are too serious and that being a police officer, she sees serious stuff every day and she just wants to laugh. She has a point, but I’d still like to watch my own stuff. I have been giving her her way lately, but I am starting to feel resentful. — Missing the Drama Dear Missing: Sorry, but there’s not much drama
in my response, as this has an easy solution. Just compromise. Alternate nights. You pick one night’s programming; she picks the next. If you both really can’t stand watching each other’s shows, you could invest in a second TV or, better yet, head to the library. There you’ll find plenty of great stories (such as the novels on which Game of Thrones is based). You could get lost in an epic book while she de-stresses with some comedy — worlds away, but happily together. Dear Annie: I met “Meghan” at our children’s school five years ago, and we’ve been close friends ever since. When we met, she had just finished treatment for stage 1 breast cancer, and since then, she has been cancer-free. The other day, she told me she was unable to work with me on our kids’ school project because she had a doctor’s appointment. She said it was just a routine thing but was very vague about it, and I could tell she didn’t want to talk about it. I began to worry that something was wrong, and at the same time, I felt hurt that if something was wrong, she should have wanted to share it with me. — Worried
for My Friend Dear Worried: Have patience. For all you know right now, it really is just a routine checkup, and I hope that’s the case. But in the event that it’s not, don’t be offended that Meghan didn’t reach out to you immediately. Health is an incredibly personal thing. Part of being a good friend means allowing her the time and space she needs to process things, trusting that she will come to you when she’s ready. In the meantime, be understanding, empathetic and the world’s best listener. That’s how you can let her know you’ll be there when she’s ready to talk. Dear Annie: I want to write in response to “A Wyoming Teacher,” who does not feel teachers should be expected to write thank-you notes to students. I feel that part of my job as a teacher is to teach students social norms and conventions. I believe in writing and mailing thank-you notes for students’ gifts, even the half-used bottle of nail polish one of my second-graders gave me. Children love getting mail, and they learn from example. — Teaching by Example Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Research groups predict robust online holiday shopping EXPERTS PREDICT ONLINE PURCHASES WILL SOAR FROM $3.12 BILLION TO $3.5 BILLION BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
N
EW YORK — After a tumultuous presidential election, will Americans be ready to shop for the holidays? Research firms are predicting robust growth for online shopping, at least. ComScore predicts online spending on Cyber Monday, which follows Black Friday and is typically the busiest day of the year for online shopping, will jump to $3.5 billion from $3.12 billion last year.
Horoscopes
CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Martin Scorsese, 74; Rachel McAdams, 38; Danny DeVito, 72 ; THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Utilizing head and heart are a marvellous mix today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You love helping othJoanne ers but you can also be very controlling. SucMadeline cess will come in 2017 Moore — but only with plenty of patience, persistence and hard work. ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s time for Rams to socialize and circulate; mix and mingle. All types of group activities are particularly favoured. But avoid getting drawn into an argument with a housemate or work colleague. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Creativity and compassion are high today Taurus, as you intuitively pick up on how a
The firm’s preliminary holiday shopping forecast is for sales to rise as much as 19 per cent to $81 billion. Aside from a dip the day after the election, there are no signs that shoppers’ appetite for spending has been seriously weakened, said comScore analyst Andrew Lipsman “It seems to be mostly isolated to the immediate
effect,” he said. Another firm, Adobe Digital Insights, predicts that online sales will increase 11 per cent to $91.6 billion this holiday season. About 17 per cent of holiday spending is done online. Overall, the National Retail Federation, based in Washington, D.C., is forecasting holiday sales for the November and December period to rise 3.6 per cent to $655.8 billion, better than the three per cent growth seen in the year-ago period.
family member or friend is feeling. It’s also time to nurture your relationships with overseas connections. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gregarious Gemini — you love to hear the sound of your own voice. But you don’t have to be constantly talking to prove a point. Today is one of those days when silence can be golden. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s a good day to get upclose-and-personal with loved ones as you focus on close relationships, and work on giving more and taking less. Joint business and creative ventures are also favoured. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your sunny Leo smile has the power to lift the mood of those around you. You’re feeling positive about a current challenge. But sometimes there’s a fine line between being optimistic and unrealistic. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Are you being unusually subjective about a problem? To find a solution, combine head and heart. Plus nurture your contacts in the local community. Who knows where they may lead? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): With your power planet Venus visiting your domestic zone, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the company of family and friends at Casa Libra. But tread carefully with a capricious work colleague. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Aim to be more sensitive
towards a relative or neighbour. Consultation is the key. It’s also time to swap frivolous spending for serious saving, as you carefully nurture your nest egg for the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Search for creative ways to boost your cash flow, increase business, or land a flash new job. Extensive networking is essential.
