PORSCHE TAYCAN THE FIRST FULLY ELECTRIC PORSCHE HAS BEEN REVEALED. THE PORSCHE TAYCAN IS HERE! WHAT WAS ONCE JUST A CONCEPT IS NOW A REALITY, AND IT’S STUNNING. THE FIRST MODELS IN THE SERIES WILL BE THE TAYCAN TURBO S AND THE TAYCAN TURBO. THIS FOUR-DOOR POWERHOUSE IS COMPETING DIRECTLY WITH NONOTHER THAN THE TESLA MODEL S IN THE SPORTS SEDAN ELECTRIC VEHICLE MARKET. THE EV SPACE HAS LONG BEEN RULED BY THE CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURER AND NOW WITH THE PORSCHE TAYCAN LAUNCH, THE OPTIONS ARE EXPANDING, AND THAT’S GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE, WHETHER YOU’RE AN EV ENTHUSIAST OR NOT.
By Aniseh Sharifi
THE PERFORMANCE IS GREEN Estimated to have 420km of pure electric range on a single charge, the Turbo S can generate 560kW (750 HP) and the Turbo can generate 500hW (670 HP). Both models have an electric motor at the front and rear of the vehicle. The Turbo S can accelerate zero to 100km/h in 2.8 seconds, and both models have a top speed of 260km/h. The Porsche Taycan is equipped with a battery capacity of 93.4kWh and has a maximum charging power of 270kW. That’s fast, and a huge advantage over other EVs in its class. Rather than the typical system voltage of 400 volts, the Taycan has a whopping 800 volts, making the charging experience much faster. Under ideal conditions (no heat or AC on) the car is projected to charge from five percent to 80 percent in just over 20 minutes.

THE EXTERIOR IS LEAN
Derived from the Mission-E, the Taycan is the launch of a new Porsche in an electric era. Sleek and highly sculpted, the sporty body is glued to the ground promising a gripping drive. Horizontal lines in the rear emphasize the brand’s iconic style while adding novelty elements with the glass-effect Porsche logo incorporated in the light bar.
THE INTERIOR IS SMART
Controlled with minimum buttons, the design integrates touch screens throughout the front cabin. A 10.9-inch infotainment display connects to an integrated glass band to create a passenger display. For the first time, Porsche is offering a completely leather-free interior and instead using entirely recycled materials to reinforce the sustainable concept of their first electric sports car.

Although branded as “Turbo,” the Porsche Taycan is not actually Turbocharged. The term is simply to represent that the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S are in the “top tier” of the Taycan family and considering their performance, they deserve the title. “The future is electric, whether you want it or not,” says Klaus Zellmer, head of Porsche North America. Zellmer also states that, “By 2025, more than 50% of all Porsche vehicles sold worldwide will have a plug,” emphasizing again how serious Porsche is about electric mobility. By 2020, Porsche will have
invested over 6 billion euros in new battery technology, advanced manufacturing and developing a charging network. In a new initiative with Electrify America/ Canada, Porsche, and their sister company Volkswagen and Audi, will be offering their new electric vehicle owners a trusty charging network on the road. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Porsche Taycan Turbo are now available to order in Canada. Prices start at $213,900 and $173, 900. We look forward to test-driving the Porsche Taycan!

TOP 3 EV CROSSOVERS
ELECTRIC VEHICLES CONTINUE TO FLOOD THE MARKET AS CONSUMERS DEMAND VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO RISING FUEL PRICES. AS A RESULT, THE TOYOTA PRIUS IS NO LONGER THE ONLY PLAYER IN TOWN. NOW, EVEN LUXURY AUTOMAKERS SUCH AS JAGUAR AND AUDI ARE SELLING TOP-OF-THE-LINE PLUG-IN PRODUCTS THAT WON’T LEAVE OWNERS YEARNING FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION. HERE ARE THREE OF OUR FAVOURITE GREEN CROSSOVERS RIGHT NOW.

Tesla
MODEL X
Silicon Valley-based Tesla doesn’t consider itself a car manufacturer, but rather an energy and tech company. Yet, it was the original disrupter of the industry, creating highly sought after EVs that look and behave unlike anything else on the road. The Model X SUV is guaranteed to wow passersby with its double-hinged and space-saving Falcon Wing rear doors designed to open up and out, and huge dashboard touchscreen replacing traditional physical controls. The highest P100D trim level can travel up to 525 kilometres on a single charge and go from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 3.1 seconds. Dual electric motors, front and rear, provide all-wheel drive, and Autopilot technology delivers semi-autonomous driving capability. When on the move, charge at any of Tesla’s more than 10,000 Supercharger stations located along major routes in North America.

Jaguar
I-PACE
Meet Jaguar’s first zero-emission vehicle: the I-PACE. Built for those who truly enjoy being behind the wheel, this EV makes no compromises just because it runs on alternative energy. Resembling other offerings found in the lineup, the crossover features an intensive use of weight-saving aluminium structural components improving both performance and efficiency. There’s also a 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery mounted in-between the axles resulting in 50:50 weight distribution, meaning handling is nimble through corners. Two high output electric motors generate a robust 395 horsepower and 513 lb-ft of torque that, pardon the cliché, truly pulls like a freight train. Needless to say, being overenthusiastic with the right foot can eat up the total 470-kilometre range in a hurry, but regenerative braking technology tops up the power cells whenever the I-PACE slows down whether via applying the brake pedal or lifting off the accelerator.

Audi E-TRON
The newest kid on the block, the e-tron is Audi’s initial foray into the electric SUV segment. To the average observer, the vehicle appears to be yet another regular entry in the four-ringed portfolio instead of passing as a car of the future as many EVs tend to. For many simply looking for a fine automobile that happens to run on something besides gas, this might be the ticket. Similar in size to the Q8, the five-seater offers more storage than competitors, boasting 1,614 litres of cargo space with the second row folded down. All the creature comforts expected from the brand are present including standard heated and cooled seats, a massage function, Quattro AWD and more. A high capacity battery yields an advertised range of 328 kilometres, while a pair of parallel electric motors pump out a net 355 horsepower. A neat feature is a special Boost mode, activated under full acceleration if the transmission is shifted to the Sport position. Power reserves are temporarily utilized for maximum propulsion.

A MELDING OF
AMERICAN ORIGINALS HAMILTON WATCH AND SCHOTT NYC COLLABORATE ON A CLASSIC “TOUGH-GUY” WATCH.
By Carol Besler
CHAMPION CANADIAN ACROBATIC PILOT, PETE MCLEOD, HAMILTON AMBASSADOR
The iconic Schott Perfecto, the uniform of rock stars and rabble rousers, was the original motorcycle jacket. It shot to fame after Marlon Brando wore one in the 1953 film The Wild Ones and was even banned from some high schools in the 1950s – because if you wore that jacket, you surely had an attitude problem. “It has transformative powers,” laughs Jason Schott, fourth-generation CEO of Schott NYC. “When you put it on, you feel like a badass.” Around the same time Schott was beginning its reign as the founder of the motorcycle jacket – it was the first company to sew a zipper into a jacket – another American company, Hamilton Watch, was supplying the U.S. military with pilot watches. Schott bomber jackets and Hamilton pilot watches both became standard issue during the war – authentic tough-guy gear, guaranteed to take whatever you could throw at it.
WATCHES
The two companies have now joined forces in what seems like a natural collaboration: the Khaki Pilot Schott NYC limited edition watch. “One day I came into the office and our product manager, Alfredo Bellaveglia, was wearing a Schott leather jacket that was 32 years old,” says Hamilton CEO Sylvain Dolla. “I thought it was so amazing, and it turns out he has a whole collection of Schott jackets. The next day, my 20-year-old son arrived home with a new Schott jacket. I started to look into the company, and I saw a lot of similarities with Hamilton. I got in touch with Jason, and two weeks later I was standing in their factory discussing a collaboration.” The watch is big – 46 mm wide – and in the convention of authentic pilot’s watches, it has a large, highly readable dial, with plenty of glow-in-thedark Super-LumiNova on the hands, numerals and markers. It adheres to the vintage aviation format of indexing minutes rather than hours on the main dial – in the days before sophisticated navigational instrumentation, pilots needed to precisely track the number of minutes left before running out of fuel. It contains an automatic movement, the caliber H-30, with a day-date function and a remarkable 80-hour power reserve (the standard power reserve for a mechanical watch is two days). It is water resistant to 200 meters, and priced at $1500, putting it in the top range of Hamilton watches. The double stitched leather strap is a specific shade known as Federal Standard Military 30099 Earth Brown, made from the same tough leather used for flight jackets during the war (and still used today). The leather ages with a patina. It starts out stiff and sturdy and gradually becomes softer, taking on the shape of the wearer’s wrist. Over time, it bears the nicks and marks of life that make each one unique. “It’s their utilitarian functionality that gives them lasting appeal,” says Schott of the jackets. The pouch, with the same lining as the coats, doubles as a travel case, with slots for passport and billfold, along with a place to hook the watch into place. Hamilton watches are likewise time tested and rated to military standards. They are Swiss made, but the company began in the United States. The Khaki Pilot Schott NYC is a limited-edition release of 1892 pieces in honor of the year Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Schott was founded in 1913 in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and is now based in Union, New Jersey.

With a Caliber 1151 automatic movement with 95 hours of power reserve, and 300 meters of water resistance, this limited reissue of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barakuda is one of the most modern dive watches with only 500 pieces available. Claiming its history from European military frogmen, The watch is not only technically impressive, but is also aesthetically beautiful, with faux vintage accents and sapphire crystals adorning both sides, coming on a rubber strap.
The new Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph Bucherer Blue edition combines, in deep blue, the vintage inspired case from the original Sixty-Five. The engraved retro case is 43mm of stainless steel, equipped with an aluminium bezel that matches the blue of the dial. Super-LumiNova inlays fill the hands and indexes of the watch, the watch is water resistant to 10 bar (about 100 metres/330 feet), and is powered by a self-winding movement based on the Sellita’s SW 510.
An incredibly impressive watch, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep is sure to make history in the diving community. The result of years of experience in the field of professional dive watches, this watch extraordinarily made a dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, making it the diver’s watch that has made the world’s deepest dive.

BEST OF TIFF 2019
EVERY SEPTEMBER CINEASTES FROM AROUND THE WORLD DESCEND UPON THE STREETS OF CANADA’S LARGEST CITY FOR THE TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL.
By Jason Gorber For decades now TIFF has been the launching point for Oscar winners, art films, experimental wonders and wacky midnight fare, a smorgasbord of cinematic delights with almost 250 features playing over 11 days With selections from other fests like Cannes, Venice and Telluride, as well as world premieres and other discoveries, it’s easy to lose yourself with all the choices. With some major titles like Joker making an early splash before going on to major theatrical runs, others are destined either for smaller theatres or even VOD services. Here, among many, are some key titles from TIFF 2019 to cherish.
PARASITE
Bong-Joon Ho’s film is nearly impossible to dislike – and, frankly, if this film doesn’t work for you, I recommend giving it another shot until it does because it ain’t the movie’s fault. It’s a master work by the Korean legend, a pretzel-like narrative that has so many tonal shifts. In lesser hands, you’d get whiplash. Instead, we’re led, carefully and convincingly, through a story that deals with family, finances, and duplicity in some extraordinary ways. It’s not only one of the greatest films of the year, it’s one of the greatest films, period.
BEANPOLE Kantemir Balagov’s story about women in Leningrad in the aftermath of the Second World War is a beautiful representation of contemporary Russian cinema. With stunning performances and a lyrical pace, the impact of these characters as we slowly decode what has driven them with the effects of trauma powerfully expressed blows you away. It’s a deeply intelligent, deeply moving film that deserves to be sought out.
UNCUT GEMS
The Safdie brothers haven’t quite got the name recognition of the Coens, but their gritty and unique crime dramas are proving time and time again to be truly special. Their latest stars Adam Sandler in a role we’ve been waiting years for, a fidgety and high-strung diamond dealer who gets way over his head. With a dash of executive producer Martin Scorsese’s own magic added referentially, the film feels very much like a crazy, stressful ride as we’re caught up in the incessancy of the situation.

JOJO RABBIT
The People’s Choice winner and TIFF World Premiere by Taika Waititi is just your everyday runof-the-mill satire about hate, where a young boy’s imaginary friend is Adolf Hitler. It is a film that walks a tightrope and makes it all the way across, a feat of dexterity that’s all the more astonishing when one considers just how appalling the film would have been with less sure footing. Terrific performances, a moving storyline and impeccable direction – Jojo is just great.
SOUND OF METAL
One of those great discoveries at TIFF that truly shines, even with the bigger films that enter and have so much buzz, Darius Marder’s film about a thrash drummer who loses his hearing has an amazing turn, as enacted by Riz Ahmed, that is surely one of the great performances of the year. Told with the addition of subtitles for the hearing impaired, it’s that rare film that truly shifts your perspective, drawing you into the world presented. The sound design of the film is entirely immersive, and thanks to Marder’s deft direction, we’re treated to a terrific film that leaves quite the impact.
WAVES
Some may dismiss Trey Edward Shults’ latest film as being akin to Babel or even the egregious (yet Oscar winning) Haggis-directed Crash, yet that would miss out on the poetic and narrative elegance of Waves. It’s a film that provides a rich and unique look at a series of circumstances often shrouded by preconception, and as the film’s two act structure plays out there are numerous ways in which these negative expectations and connotations are confronted. With exceptional performances, a rich and moving story and a political message well worth debating, Waves is well worth diving into.

Your film Chicuarotes will be at the 2020 Oscars.Thank you. It would be fantastic since this movie has a lot of opportunity and is now screening in different parts of the world. I am very proud of the work of the whole team that made it possible.
People will compare your film to Los Olvidados by Buñuel since you portray human nature in such a beautiful way. Thank you very much. Truth be told, I've always found Los Olvidados and many other films by this amazing filmmaker, very inspiring — obviously always with a lot of respect towards Buñuel who is a master, especially his sense of humour and a lot of other aspects of his particular style, like [his films] sometimes being seen as a “bizarre game.” I'm talking about that specific type of filmmaking that blows up in your face, especially during these times, which can be considered a bit complicated. We are living in a very intense era for good and bad. Bad in the sense that, for instance, in the field of artistic expression, it is very difficult to restrict or to set standards about what can be told or not, since that would be considered censorship. The world of cinema is exactly that space to deepen the grey or ambiguous parts of existence. And I am referring to [that which] has no language to be discussed. The world of cinema is that specific place that eliminates pre-set standardized conceptual thinking and I find that beautiful. That's the purpose of filmmaking and I am very happy that my film Chicuarotes flirts on that musical scale.

Going back to what can be told or not told, why do you think the fear to search for the root cause of violence exists in Mexico? I don't really know but you just hit the target. I think we are afraid because it hurts. It hurts me. I think everybody has this feeling. Even the idea of making a film without exposing our society's existing mistakes was painful. For instance, how can we reach the point of having a child get the idea to kidnap another child? How low have we have sunk as a society for these situations to be conceived? It's painful for us to watch because it is part of our daily reality. But we want to stop that vicious cycle and I believe that is the reason why it hurts, since we need to find the root cause. It's not only about the structural part of society nor what a country can do for the individual. Forget about social justice. It's a topic that comes as a result of the lack of love and that's the key — someone growing up with an incredible lack of affection. Most people overcome this situation, survive and break the cycle, but others don't and the lack of love creates individuals that for some reason, in order to survive, become someone like the character in my film, called “Cagalera,” who looks like a functional psychopath that, in order to survive, has had to stop feeling because his pain has become too much to bear. Unfortunately, this is an exit for some people facing the immense impunity, corruption and culture of violence we have in Mexico. For them, this becomes a way of living.
“FILMMAKING IS AN ACT
OF FREEDOM, AN ACT OF COMMUNITY AND WE CAN MAKE ORIGINAL AND PERSONAL FILMS.” The first superficial analysis of the situation might be to think that it happens due to the existence of poverty, but it has nothing to do with the situation. There is no material poverty in the film. On the contrary, there is a material richness, but spiritual poverty prevails. There is a lack of empathy and that's why it hurts, because we see it closely everyday and because we go to the movies very often. Mexico is considered to be the second or third place in the world in terms of how many people go to movie theaters. We have a big and important movie culture. It looks like we hope to get answers about our lives. On the other hand, that makes us unique. The same way Brazil is related to soccer, Mexico is related to cinema. We have incredible film schools, amazing people working in the industry, and a lot of stories to share. Filmmaking is an act of freedom; an act of community, and we can make original and personal films. Chicuarotes was made exactly the way we wanted — with no restrictions. Everybody working in the film will have a beautiful experience. It was the first time working in a movie for many of the actors and they'll continue doing it. And they will do it very well since they are good at it. I saw pure "unconsciousness.” Quoting Siddhartha, do you think your characters have forgiveness embedded in sin? Would that be a message you wanted us to get? We are reluctant to say there is always an implied message since, in the end, movies exist so people can be

responsible for their own personal experience. Each spectator should have their own reading. But I would say there's something I really wanted to convey, and it has to do with who has somehow found a way to overcome the darkness and the vicious cycle that seems unbreakable. And I believe that in the film, some of the characters, and one in particular, sees everything from a different perspective and tries to establish a new language, a different narrative to be able to talk about the situation, envisioning a promising future, breaking the cycle of violence and assuming full responsibility to be free, in a sense. That character is the girl in the story, who represents the unheard voice in human history: the voice of girls, in general. Do you consider illiteracy the cause root of homophobia, alcoholism, and machismo? I feel that we should talk about a functional illiteracy, in the sense of not being able to find new narratives, or to read them; not being able to understand new “imaginaries.” Definitely, “Cagalera” in the film, is a person who knows how
to read and write but he doesn't understand what he reads and write. I think that would be a symptom of his indolence. Reading makes you somehow more empathic. Understanding what is said and being able to write is an exercise in empathy that could be seen as symbolic. This is one of the symptoms we find in Cagalera since he cannot write anything. He's incapable of elaborating an idea and that's exactly how we can understand him as an individual and see how hurt he is. As viewers, we almost feel like we want to rescue him, to hug him and to tell him not to overreact to everything. The film Chicuarotes will help viewers feel responsible for, and not like the victims of, the harsh reality we complain about in Mexico. Thank you very much Gael.

CANADIAN LEGEND
ROBBIE ROBERTSON
FOR OVER FIVE DECADES ROBBIE ROBERTSON HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF POPULAR MUSIC. FROM HIS BACKING OF ROCKABILLY LEGEND RONNIE HAWKINS AND HIS STINT AS BOB DYLAN’S TOURING GUITARIST, THROUGH TO HIS FOUNDING OF THE BAND AND EXTENSIVE SOLO WORK, HE’S FIRMLY ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS AN ICON. IN ADDITION HE'S HAD AN AWARD-WINNING CAREER AS A PRODUCER AND MUSIC SUPERVISOR ON DOZENS OF FILMS.
By Jason Gorber Photographer Don Dixon The Canadian legend has presented stories from his recent memoir in his documentary Once Were Brothers, an ode to his relationship to his fellow Band members and their journey from the streets of Toronto to the world stage. We spoke following the World Premiere of his documentary, an opener at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. You've lived with many identities - you're Canadian, you're Indigenous, and in your teens, you found out you're Jewish. Could you talk about how these various facets have shaped who you are and how you make your art? At Six Nations, where my mom was from, I got introduced to music. It seemed to me that all of my relatives played an instrument, or they sang or they danced. They had to make their own entertainment - there weren't big shows coming through Six Nations. Everybody played, so I thought I've gotta play too. My parents got me my first guitar that had a painting of a cowboy on it, yet it was Indians who taught me how to play! With my Jewish heritage, I understood where my drive and interest in show business came from. Did you connect differently with people who were also making music? Did you engage with Bob Dylan at all, being two Jews from the middle of nowhere? And how did your Indigenous heritage allow you to relate to, say, Buffy Sainte-Marie? They were both effective
P.50
in that part of your mind that thinks this isn't just a coincidence, that this is somebody who knows where I'm coming from, who feels what I feel or something like I do. I love Buffy, and I think that she's an amazing talent and we've known one another forever. And working with Bob, although it wasn't in every day's conversation, it lived back there. We both knew in our own way that we were from the ‘hood. Or at least a shtetl. Yeah. [laughs]. And it's still that way! Talk about that first time you went down to the Southern U.S., to visit that cradle of musical civilization. That was so impactful to me. When I went from Canada to the Mississippi Delta, I did think it was a fountainhead. That this is where the music that has changed my life, that is everything to me, grows out of the ground. I'm going to the Holy Land here! Who lives down there? Muddy Waters, Bo Diddly, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, on and on and on. Life moves in a different rhythm down there. This Mississippi river goes by, that makes you want to write a song immediately. My job, at 16 years old, was to convince Ronnie Hawkins to take over on lead guitar, even though I was too young to play in any of the places we played. No rockabilly bands have Jewish Indian Canadians in them! I had to overcome this and convince him that I could cut it, and my God, I did.

CULTURE
The documentary touches upon all of these people in Toronto who wanted to get your sound. Now kids go on YouTube and see immediately how to thrash. How did you get connected to knowing how to play a given chord voicing, to make the fuzz tone just right? How were you learning to make these sounds? In the South. Down there, in the Louisiana Hayride, these guitar players like James Burton and Fred Carter were playing like that. This sound, this type of playing, hadn't reached Canada yet, so when I come back from the South with that everybody's like, oh my, this guy's the savior! Is it literally like you're learning a pentatonic lick from James Cotton? What is the process of you ingesting that, or is it just you listening to it and playing over and over again in your hotel room? I write in Testimony, my autobiography, that when I went down there I spent my first week's pay at a record store in Memphis. I bought Howlin' Wolf records, B.B. King records, Buddy Holly records, Roy Orbison, all of these things. My job was to absorb this in the deepest, quickest way. I was so young and life was on fire to me. I was doing everything on 11, doing it with an excitement and a fire that really dazzled everybody. You have a lifetime of creating art. What continues to give you that excitement and that fire? The curiosity. There's something built in in me - that challenge of every day not knowing if I can do it. That’s the process that you put yourself through. From when I was 16 years old, I still am on that mission. Eric Clapton has often talked about wanting to join The Band. Was there ever serious consideration? Well, he never brought it up. He said he was afraid. He didn't work up the nerve to bring it up. When he inducted The Band into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, he mentioned it that night. After the event I said to him “you never told me that!” He said, “Oh, I was too nervous and I was afraid to say no.” I said “Well, were you suggesting that you should take over as a guitar player, or did you think we should have two guitar players?” He never answered me. [laughs] Could you talk about your relationship with Joni Mitchell? Joni's a dear friend of mine, and I still think that she's the queen mother of singer-songwriters. I can't think of anybody who's even challenged that to this day.
P.52
Bob vs. Joni? It's apples and oranges to me. What Joni invented is very different musically from what Bob was doing. I mean, they both wrote lyrics above and beyond what other people were doing, but Joni made up tunings on the guitar, made up rhythmic feels and everything that were very different. I've played with both of them, and so that's why I say apples and oranges because I realize it from a musical perspective. A lot of Dylan rubbed off on you, and you rubbed off on Dylan, but your music falls much more into a Bob Dylan school. I think it seems like you played with Joni Mitchell, yet Joni Mitchell seems very different than the stuff you ended up doing. Is that a fair comment to make? Well, both of them come from folk music. I don't come from folk music at all. And yet you wrote one some of the greatest Americana folk songs ever. That could be from hanging out with Joni, Bob and Neil [Young]. They all came from a folk music background, and my thing was always Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, Rhythm and Blues, Blues, Gospel, [and] all of these elements. We come from different backgrounds, different schools and everything. When you mix those worlds together like we did with Bob, oh, halleluiah! One of my favourite things you wrote with The Band is the hiccup-y bass drop on “King Harvest.” That was influenced by a Stevie Wonder song that not many people know called “I'm Wondering.” The feel of it - I wanted some of that! The Last Waltz is a dream concert for many, but if you could have anyone on that stage, no matter the era, who would you invite? You mean that I could invite Scott Joplin? I could invite Glenn Gould? There's a couple of guys I would want in my band right there. I liked Robert Johnson as well. I thought he did some good work. A lot of those people I've already had the very fortunate experience to have worked with. Buddy Holly was really special to me. When I was 13 years old or something and I heard Gene Vincent’s “Be-Bop-A-Lula,” at the malt shop across from R.H. King's high school in Scarborough, time stopped for me. I don't know what the song's about, I don't care what the song's about. The intoxication of that feel, that music, that sound, I'm still reaching for that.

Bob Dylan BLOOD ON THE TRACKS
The latest One-Step, 45rpm release from Mobile Fidelity is by the poet from Hibbing. The album was recorded twice – once with a set of esteemed NYC studio musicians, and again with some locals in Dylan’s native Minnesota. The end result is a hybrid of the two, mixing slick city-recorded songs with the looser, hipper stuff from up North. Blood has been presented in numerous ways, but the care that Mofi has taken with this latest release is nothing short of astonishing, with another case made for these magnificent releases as being truly definitive for some of the best albums of all time.
Angel Olsen ALL MIRRORS
The latest release from the iconic indie label Jagjaguwar finds the iconoclastic Olsen crafting her most interesting record to date. The singer/songwriter’s reverbdraped vocals mesh with haunting atmospherics and analogue synths, balancing somewhere between Kate Bush and A-Ha. With major contributions by multi-instrumentalist Ben Babbitt, and sympathetic neo-retro production by John Congleton, who helped gift St. Vincent’s debut to the world, this album has all the ingredients to be a critical smash and to occupy a spot on many best-of-2019 lists.
Bruce Springsteen WESTERN STARS
Forming a triptych with his celebrated autobiography Born to Run and the Broadway show that ran for more than a year, The Boss’ latest solo album is about mythmaking and self-reflection. Eschewing the streets of the Jersey shore, Bruce bases this record in the hot and dusty West of California, echoing the sounds of Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell to craft a sweeping, cinematic version of country pop. It’s a record different than any he’s made before; a masterful work that’s indicative of an artist who remains constantly searching for new sounds even this late into his career.

LEXSON MATHIEU
LEXSON MATHIEU ALWAYS KNEW HE BELONGED IN THE RING. HE WAS 11 YEARS OLD WHEN HE BEGAN TRAINING, PROUDLY FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS HIS FATHER HAD LAID BEFORE HIM. HE GREW UP WATCHING THE LIKES OF HAITIAN-CANADIAN BOXING GREAT, JEAN PASCAL, WHOM HE HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR AS A FELLOW FIGHTER, NOT JUST AS A FAN.
By Braydon Holmyard At 13, the scrawny boy from Quebec City was already climbing into the ring with grown men. On one memorable occasion, he threw a punch that knocked down a much larger, more experienced opponent. That was a feeling he never wanted to forget. “I felt powerful,” Mathieu said after a training session in early August, recalling the moment when he realized what he was capable of. Seven years on, that power is only blossoming. Mathieu made his professional boxing debut in January at Casino de Montreal, where he fought for the first time in front of his friends and family. It was a four-round bout in the super middle division, and the 19-year-old needed just 43 seconds to deliver his knockout punch. After a salute in the ring to his younger brother Wilkens, who also boxes, it was time to celebrate the way the Mathieus always do — with food. “We don't really celebrate. I don't really like partying, but I like food. I'll eat pasta, fries, or go to all-you-caneat sushi after,” Mathieu said. For a man who “loves food,” the strict diet that comes with boxing training and cutting weight is sometimes the most difficult challenge he faces.

“It's like a second fight for me,” Mathieu said of his disciplined eating habits. One month before fight night, the only things he consumes are fish, egg whites, salad and water. “But it's going to become a lifestyle. I'm going to live like this so I must make it a habit.” That’s the type of commitment Mathieu made at a very young age. More often than not, he is grinding his way through a rigorous training regimen. Eat, train, sleep, repeat. It’s the typical life of a boxer trying to fight their way up the ranks. Earlier this summer, he completed an undefeated boxing marathon where he fought three times in 44 days, winning the first two by knockout and the last by unanimous decision.
“I WANT FANS TO KNOW HOW FOCUSED I AM. HOW SERIOUS I TAKE THIS. I WANT THEM TO KNOW I'M NOT LIKE THE OTHER BOXERS. I'M TOTALLY DIFFERENT.”
Mathieu believes it’s this sort of effort that will separate him from a crowded crop of young boxers in Canada, where it’s crucial for a fighter to start their pro careers with lengthy win streaks and to end fights with knockouts. And so far, with a 5-0 record and four knockouts beside his name, Mathieu has done just that.
Boxing is a part of his identity. “I never really fell in love with the sport. It's just something I've always done,” Mathieu said. “Before boxing, I did taekwondo. I have always fought, I'm always fighting. It's just something that is a part of my life. With boxing, I never fell in love with it. It's just me.”
“I want fans to know how focused I am. How serious I take this. I want them to know I'm not like the other boxers. I'm totally different,” he said. “You're never going to see me partying, or in a bad place in front of a camera. I'm always sharp, and I'm going to be sharper than any other boxer.”
Just months into his pro career, Mathieu doesn’t hold back setting lofty goals. He wants a 10-year career filled with long win streaks and title belts. He wants to make a name for himself and live the lavish lifestyle that so many boxing legends have before him. He casually mentions the successes of all-time greats Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. He wants the money, the fame and all the food that comes with it.
Mathieu is a man of simple pleasures. Weeks off from the gym are rare. When he does take time off, he enjoys fishing, swimming and golfing with his younger brother at Shawinigan Lake in Lac-à-la-Tortue, Québec. But he is always itching to get back to boxing — the sport that makes him feel whole.
Mathieu does not live the average life of a 20-year-old. And that’s the way he prefers it. “People around me see me differently because they know what I can do in the ring. I'm not like anyone else. I'm different. I'm different from all normal people. I do something dangerous. I got a lot in my heart to do what I do, that's what makes me different.” And what about after all is said and done and he has reached the great heights of boxing in the next decade as planned? He’ll figure that out later. In the meantime, Mathieu is just focused on what he needs to do in the ring.

50 NUANCES DE VERT
CHAQUE JOUR, AUX NOUVELLES OU SUR FACEBOOK, IL Y A QUELQU’UN QUI NOUS ANNONCE QUE LA FIN DU MONDE EST PEUT-ÊTRE À NOS PORTES. NOUS Y PENSONS TOUS, MÊME SI C’EST PAR INTERMITTENCE. ET ON SOIGNE SON DEGRÉ DE VERTITUDE COMME ON SURVEILLE SA COTE DE CRÉDIT.
Texte par Sylvain-Claude Filion Illustration par Janna Yotte
L’omniprésence des médias sociaux nous divise déjà en deux clans : des tenants de l’apocalypse n’hésitent pas à truquer des photos pour nous attendrir, si bien qu’on ne sait plus comment distinguer le vrai des fake-news. Et des combats sous-jacents comme vouloir interdire la consommation de viande ne font que braquer les indécis. Trop de pression sociale pourrait se révéler contre-productif et certains comportements fanatiques font penser aux excès de la religion. La croisade de Greta Thunberg a cristallisé le clivage de l’opinion publique, autre signe que l’écologie prend des airs de dogme religieux. Il y a les vertueux qui soutiennent sa démarche et les détracteurs qui la détestent. L’adolescente suédoise a été accueillie en triomphe à Montréal, mais à Edmonton, les militants favorables aux hydrocarbures ont organisé des convois de camions pour protester. Pardonnez le jeu de mots, la jeune fille y était « persona non greta ». Pendant que des têtes d’affiche encouragent la désobéissance civile dans le sillage du mouvement Extinction Rebellion, d’autres posent la question qui tue : pourquoi Greta n’est-elle pas allée prêcher du côté de la Chine, de l’Inde ou des Philippines, qui sont largement responsables des déchets de plastiques rejetés dans les océans? Il est devenu bien difficile de se situer sur l’échelle de la vertitude. Petit retour historique. Cela ne fait que 50 ans que le terme « pollution » est entré dans le vocabulaire courant. Les trois milliards d’humains de l’époque commençaient à prendre acte des ravages de la société industrielle. En 1972 se tient la Conférence de Stockholm où l’on aborde la question écologique sous la pudique désignation de « développement durable ». Trois ans plus tard, le climatologue américain Wallace Broecker invente le terme « changements climatiques ». Ce n’est pourtant qu’en 1992, au Sommet de Rio, que l’inquiétude s’installe. Et il faut attendre la Conférence de Paris, en 2015, pour que retentisse enfin la sonnette d’alarme, à grands coups de rapports du GIEC. Voici plus de vingt ans que les anomalies climatiques sont tangibles, si bien que les climatosceptiques d’hier sont peu à peu confondus. Signe qui ne trompe pas : les compagnies d’assurances s’inquiètent de l’ampleur des catastrophes naturelles. Aujourd’hui, il ne reste guère que les amateurs de théories du complot pour nier qu’il y a péril en la demeure. Cependant, le discours culpabilisant des verts indispose parfois car pointer du doigt une star qui
utilise un jet privé ou un voisin qui ne composte pas n’est pas vraiment productif. On nous dit souvent que chaque petit geste compte, alors que la balle est plutôt dans le camp de l’industrie et des gouvernements.
Le fameux petit geste compte-t-il vraiment? Parfois, quand je rince une boîte de soupe avant de la mettre au recyclage, je me sens un peu ridicule lorsque je lis ensuite dans un journal qu’une compagnie déverse des tonnes de matière toxique dans une rivière. Le flot incessant d’informations qui jaillit de nos écrans est souvent contradictoire. Remplacer le pétrole par les voitures électriques? Oui, mais il paraît que les piles au lithium seront encore plus polluantes à long terme. Et trop d’entreprises tentaculaires se contentent de faire du greenwashing. Tout en compostant mes restes de table, je m'inquiète bien plus de l’influence de l'UPA, des pétrolières, des néonicotinoïdes et des cent mille autres cochonneries utilisées pour booster la folle croissance et les profits des trusts qui contrôlent les économies du monde. Je m'inquiète aussi de l'inertie du citoyen qui recycle, composte, mais qui ne se privera pas de fraises en hiver, d'un chalet à deux mètres d'un plan d'eau ou de changer de cellulaire à chaque année. Ou encore de restreindre son addiction à l'Internet qui consomme 10% de toute l'électricité produite sur la planète. Il y a trop de verts bon teint assis sur une montagne de déchets. Le défi ne consiste plus à trouver un moyen de freiner les changements climatiques, mais de découvrir comment l’humanité pourra s’y adapter. La fonte des pôles, des glaciers et du pergélisol qui entraînera la libération de milliards de tonnes de méthane est en marche. Le climat s'emballe déjà et ce n'est pas en 2050 que les problèmes climatiques vont tout chambarder. C'est déjà commencé. Comme ce fut le cas pour les deux Grandes Guerres, il y aura peut-être des dizaines, voire des centaines de millions de morts. Émigration, guerre de l'eau, pandémies... Pendant des siècles, jusqu'au XXe, c'est la guerre qui transformait les garçons en hommes et les filles en femmes autonomes et intégrées à la société industrielle. Dans son livre Sapiens : Une brève histoire de l’humanité, Yuval Noah Harari démontre que la Terre vit sa plus grande période de paix depuis plusieurs décennies. À l’heure actuelle, il y a chaque année plus de suicides que de décès dus à la guerre et aux crimes violents. Le prochain combat, qui fera passer la génération selfie à la maturité, ce sera de s'adapter à un monde imprévisible afin de survivre sur une planète surpeuplée, déjà incapable de subvenir à ses besoins et dont les transformations géologiques, hydrographiques et météorologiques deviendront incontrôlables. À l’aube d’une nouvelle décennie, tout indique que les années 2020 seront celles de l’environnement. Que l’on aime Greta ou non.

Ce qui est particulier au créneau des bars et des restaurants, c’est que ces projets sont de pures expériences. Cela implique que nous devons nous renouveler à chaque fois. Il faut surprendre les gens et donc, ne pas se répéter. On est condamnés à se réinventer.

Avez-vous trouvé très tôt une philosophie ou une éthique dans votre approche de l’aménagement? Le design comporte plusieurs facettes et à un certain moment, tu dois choisir ton approche. Ce qui m’a toujours intéressé, plus que la forme et l’approche esthétique, ce sont les gens. Comment les gens interagissent? Pourquoi ils socialisent en public? Tout notre moteur créatif est axé sur l’expérienceclient. Ça influence la façon dont on va placer le mobilier, gérer la distance entre les gens, comment faire connecter les gens dans une salle. C’est ce que nous appelons l’ergonomie sociale. Vous venez de terminer un nouveau projet pour l’Hôtel Le Germain de Montréal. Quelle était l’idée pour cet espace?

avec une famille devenue une référence dans l’industrie hôtelière canadienne. Il y avait déjà une thématique en amorce, qui était celle de l’Expo 67, un moment charnière de notre histoire. C’est très riche en termes de design, car c’est une époque où il y avait un grand bouillonnement en architecture, en art visuel et en musique. Le bâtiment lui-même est un bel exemple de brutalisme. Nous avons voulu montrer le bâtiment à l’état brut en exposant le béton et en enlevant les couches successives. L’aspect historique et archéologique mérite, selon nous, d’être révélé et mis en valeur. On voulait créer également un sens du luxe et de l’élégance en faisant un jeu de contraste avec les matières en utilisant le velours, le cuir et le marbre. Nous avons voulu créer une alchimie avec tous ces éléments.

La collaboration avec l’hôtel Four Seasons est un projet majeur. C’est une étape importante pour votre firme? Nous étions un choix inhabituel, car normalement le Four Seasons fait appel à des designers de réputation internationale. C’est grâce au propriétaire Andrew Lutfy, qui croyait en nous et qui connaissait notre habileté à réaliser des lieux vivants, que nous avons obtenu ce mandat. Au troisième étage, nous avons réalisé un lounge très pur, très aérien avec des teintes pâles, du velours et du cristal pour habiller la grande fenestration. Un luxe jamais ostentatoire, avec beaucoup de retenue et de minimalisme dans l’approche. C’est un espace qui est intéressant été comme hiver car c’est un lieu de rassemblement, un type de social square. Vous avez donné congé à votre équipe lors de la grande marche pour le climat de Montréal en présence de Greta Thunberg. C’est une cause importante pour vous? Ce qui m’a éveillé à cette cause, c’est ma fille de 11 ans. Car même en sachant que les changements climatiques sont devenus un enjeu, je ne m’y attardais pas vraiment, étant trop pris dans le tourbillon du travail. C’est ma fille, un matin, qui m’a dit : « tu sais papa c’est possible que je voie la fin du monde ». Cela m’a donné un choc et j’ai commencé à me renseigner. Le constat est terrifiant. Notre industrie est très polluante et entraîne du gaspillage. Avec le niveau d’urgence actuel, il faut vraiment agir dès maintenant. C’était un événement historique, nous étions très fiers d’y participer.

The combination of Mr. Sexy Back and His Airness might seem like an odd pairing, but the relationship actually started some time ago. During the singer’s “Legends of the Summer” tour with rapper Jay-Z, he wore a number of limited edition Air Jordan 1s. Fast forward to the Super Bowl five years down the road, and Timberlake nearly broke the Internet when he appeared on stage donning his black, white and red “JTH” Jordan 3 Retros, which were simultaneously made available to the public online in super limited quantities. The b-ball kicks boasted a neat twist - the iconic Nike Swoosh was added to the normally naked side as envisioned by iconic Nike designer Tinker Hatfield (hence the Justin Timberlake/Tinker Hatfield JTH moniker). They were released again in an earth-toned Bio Beige variant a few months later.

Stranger Things
NIKE
Not necessarily tied to a specific celebrity, the Stranger Things collection celebrates the runaway science-fiction-horror hit series that airs on Netflix. Deliciously set in the 1980s in the fictional small town of Hawkins, Indiana, Nike handpicked a number of period-accurate pieces from its back catalogue, some of which appeared in the show, and gave them a makeover. The initial drop in June was comprised of a phys-ed themed hat, t-shirt, hoodie and a trio of shoes: the Blazer Mid, Air Tailwind 79 and Cortez, all trimmed in the Hawkins High School team shades of green, white and orange. Other colourways slowly came out during the summer, the latest being the “Upside Down” variant of the three sneakers, which are covered in a rough grey fabric that can be burnt away to reveal a hidden denim layer underneath.

REEBOK
At only 24 years old, this L.A.-based supermodel already has an impressive list of achievements on her resume. Among them is getting her own personal footwear and apparel line under Reebok, which was revealed last year. The 90s-inspired capsule contains numerous pairs of sneakers and matching clothing pieces, the reinterpretation of the classic Freestyle Hi trainers in black and yellow being one of them. More recently she’s hopped on the “dad shoe” trend and dropped chunky and colourful versions of the Aztreks, an all-terrain silhouette debuting in 1993.
Kanye West
ADIDAS
Hip-hop phenomenon Kanye West began creating custom creps, dubbed YEEZYs, with the threestriped company back in 2015. The first sneaker to drop under the joint venture was the BOOST 750, part of the “Season 1” portfolio. The BOOST 750 is a boot-like high top made from premium suede, sitting atop Adidas’ proprietary Boost cushioning technology developed by German chemical company, BASF. In subsequent seasons, ‘Ye, who once interned at Italian fashion house Fendi a decade earlier, has unveiled many other models — arguably the most successful has been the 350s, a low-profile trainer wrapped in a Primeknit material that comfortably conforms to the shape of one’s foot in a way similar to a sock.

TIFFANY & CO. INTRODUCES
#TIFFANYMENS
A MAN WALKING INTO TIFFANY & CO. IS NOT SO UNUSUAL – THEY ARE KNOWN FOR DIAMONDS AFTER ALL. THAT ICONIC BLUE BOX, IN ITS VERY SPECIFIC HUE, EPITOMIZES LUXURY. AS A SYMBOL SO HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER, IT HAS BECOME A TOP MARKER AMONG WOMEN, POP CULTURE, AND EVEN HISTORY. THE STORIED LUXURY HOUSE IS NOW BETTING ON MEN, BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY, WITH A DEDICATED LINE FOR THE DISCERNING MAN WITH BAGS OF TASTE. TIFFANY & CO. HAS CREATED A WORLD JUST FOR HIM.
By Lauren Walker-Lee Under the artistic directorship of Reed Krakoff, Tiffany has expanded their men’s offering into a fully formed line encompassing jewelry, watches, leather goods, home objects, and even games. Made of the finest materials (18k gold, sterling silver, leather and stones), the line’s pieces are rooted in a legacy of expert craftsmanship. The new Tiffany Men’s collection was created with the spirit of the modern man in mind: bold, confident, casual yet refined — a style arbiter with a discerning eye for quality.
This newly dedicated collection includes the usual suspects - cufflinks, watches, rings, and bracelets but has expanded to nearly 100 items including trophy rings, customizable dog tags, a shoehorn, ice tongs, and even a poker set. The collection has something for everyone. For those looking for hand-crafted details, try the sterling silver ball point pen from the Diamond Point Collection, or for those not shy in the jewelry department, there are diamonds, of course.
“We have a newfound focus on expanding the men’s collection to give the customer more of what they’re coming in for. Our men’s clientele is interested in wardrobe pieces, in travel, with this sense of a curated life.” Reed Krakoff says.
In a perfect storm of bling, the launch of the new collection in Toronto coincided with the start of the NBA season. A luxurious yet little known fact is that Tiffany & Co. is the crafter of the Larry O’Brien NBA Trophy, which was on display at the flagship
store after the NBA champions, the Toronto Raptors, opened their season the night before. This little secret is now out in the open. For nearly 160 years, Tiffany has handcrafted the trophies for sporting greats, including the NFL Super Bowl, the World Series of Baseball, and Tennis’ US Open. “It’s a best kept secret and one of the big shifts that Reed has introduced. It is a beautiful part of our history that we are now telling and are very proud of,” says Elizabeth St. Louis, Market Director of Tiffany & Co. Toronto power forward Serge Ibaka, a friend and fan of the brand, was on hand to celebrate the launch of the #TiffanyMens collection, pose with fans, try on a few pieces, and carry around a much sought after Tiffany-blue basketball. Serge himself received quite the bling the previous night in the form of his championship ring, for which he very savvily posted a social media style unboxing video for his followers. By now, these new rings will have made headlines for their size and Drake’s involvement in the design process. Arriving sans championship ring but wearing the Tiffany 1837® Makers I.D. chain bracelet in 18k gold with an alligator strap watch, a T square bracelet in 18k gold with pavé diamonds, and the Tiffany 1837® Makers chain necklace, Serge was very much his usual stylish self. A fan of the brand for some time, learning of the sporting connection solidified his love for the luxury house. “I have always loved Tiffany but fell in love with them even more after finding out that they made the NBA Trophy. And all the trophies they have made are beautiful,” Serge Ibaka admits. Known for his fashion forward game-day style and for not shying away from self-expression, Serge Ibaka embodies the Tiffany man. “The Tiffany man is a bit of a code breaker with a sense of style and a sense of irreverence,” says Elizabeth St. Louis. “The Tiffany man is someone who is interested in owning thoughtful things; things that have a story, or pieces that can accentuate his own story, perhaps has an interest in sports or history or the arts and is seeking something that has integrity in design. Classic, but not stuffy.” The now fully formed line is helping to modernize the brand, and will no doubt be a hit amongst all clientele. It continues to respect Tiffany’s integrity in design and honour its craftsmanship, imbuing its products with the idea that there is a person behind each piece made. This results in incredibly beautiful pieces, which are also tremendously functional for the modern man. And with the trophy secret more widely known, Tiffany’s connection to legacy, integrity, and elite sporting is paved in 18k gold.
