Parking vote

‘Score one’ for urbanists Ryan Tumilty

City council voted Tuesday to dramatically lower the number of parking stalls its bylaws require of new housing developments, a move Mayor Don Iveson said could be a game changer for Edmonton. Council instructed administration to propose new bylaws that would cut the current requirements in half — from two spaces to one — for new houses, duplexes and other low-density housing, as well as to study changes to parking requirements across the city. Iveson said the city has put too much of a premium on parking, and that’s led to poor design in some places. “It will leave enough land to actually city build, rather than just parking build,” he said. The change came after a report from city administration noting that Edmonton requires more parking in new developments than other Canadian cities. Iveson said the change will make the city better. “Great cities are not built around cars and parking spaces,” he said. “Score one for the urbanist today.” See more on what the proposed parking changes could mean in metroNEWS

Six months in: SYRIAN REFUGEES IN EDMONTON

Meet the mail man

Everyone is working for the success of the people. Chouaib El Bouhali

Chouaib El Bouhali helps newcomers with small things like paperwork with a bigger goal in mind: To help them adapt. ALEX BOYD METRO

Chouaib El Bouhali pulls a stack of mail towards him. He’s in Ahmad and Intissar El Abed’s living room — Syrian refugees with six kids. They’re taking English classes, but mail remains a mystery. And, as they’re learning, life in Canada means paperwork. On the top of the pile is the federal census. The next envelope holds a bright blue sheet of paper, and El Bouhali sighs and points to a date, several days past. “Schools are always sending things,” he says, holding up the list of school supplies. “They’ve missed a deadline.” El Bouhali is the resettlement manager for the Islamic Family and Social Services Association, making him the point person for many of the hundreds of Syrian refugees who started settling in Edmonton six months ago. His job is part community

organizer, part cheerleader and full-time problem-solver. He meets with up to 15 people each day, sorting mail, driving them to appointments, signing their kids up for soccer and teaching them how to use transit. His phone rings constantly. There’s always time to visit though. “This one is the Canadian!” El Bouhali says, scooping up two-month-old Mustafa. Mustafa was born in Edmonton, a happy event but a bureaucratic challenge. His benefits are now totally different than his siblings, making things like doctor visits far more complicated. “I don’t think the government thought about newborns,” El Bouhali says. It’s these small things that trip people up, he says, like not understanding the difference between a health number and a SIN number, or failing to read a form.

Chouaib El Bouhali helps a family of recently arrived Syrian refugees go through their mail. ALEX BOYD/METRO

Heading back to the car, El Bouhali explains his job as a mixture of providing services — but hope, too. El Bouhali immigrated from Morocco nine years ago. He understands that, as refugees, most Syrians didn’t choose to move to Canada, which makes him work twice as hard. “They worry about giving up their values or their identities. But I tell them, ‘We want you to adapt, not

adopt,’” he said. Many are already worried about what he calls “the 13th month nightmare,” when refugee supports will run out for most. Major hurdles to employment still remain before that happens — chiefly, language skills. El Bouhali also says some processes could be more flexible, given the realities of fleeing a war zone. Many left without their driver’s licence,

for example, so must start over at the learner’s level. Still, six months in, he thinks they will make a home here. For one, he sees a tremendous willingness to learn. “They want to drive, they want to work, they want to depend on themselves. “But also, my optimism comes from when I see the whole community involved, everyone is working for the success of the people.”

BACKGROUND The El Abeds are just one of the many Syrian families finding their feet in Edmonton. Friday: From schools to swimming pools, how city services are adapting to an influx of Syrian refugees. METRO

Joint Olympic bid an option, says Iveson Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson said if Calgary decides to bid on the 2026 Winter Olympics, it could make it difficult for Edmonton to host a Commonwealth Games — but added the city could play a role in the Olympics. Calgary city council voted Monday to spend up to $5 million to study a possible bid

for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Edmonton had wanted to pursue a 2022 Commonwealth games bid, but withdrew their application in February, 2015, as the cratering price of oil made it clear the province would not be able to support the effort. Edmonton retained the first right of refusal for a Canadian city to pursue the 2026 Commonwealth Games. But Iveson said with the

International Olympic Committee’s rules now allowing regions instead of cities to bid, there is another possibility that would be worth considering. “I think that opens up some intriguing possibilities about maybe an Alberta Games, as opposed to it being just one city,” he said. He said he doesn’t know if the city will actually pursue a 2026 Commonwealth bid, but he doesn’t believe it could happen at the same time as a

Calgary Olympic bid. “We would really need to know from the provincial and federal government the appetite to run two major international events in the same year, which I would suggest is tough,” he said. Cheryl Oates, press secretary to Premier Rachel Notley, said with neither city having put together a proposal for either event, it is far too early for the province to weigh in on what it would support.

Wildrose MLA Mark Smith proposed a motion that would restrict access to physician-assisted death for patients struggling with mental-health issues. torstar news service

Wildrose MLA in hot water physician-assisted dying

Eligibility should not be automatic for mental-health patients: Smith Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton A Wildrose MLA’s comments on physician-assisted death have drawn the ire of a patient advocacy organization. A Dying With Dignity Canada spokesperson said MLA Mark Smith’s assertion that people with mental-health issues should not necessarily be eligible for physician assisted death — and that doctors should be able to hospitalize them against their will — is “outrageous.” “It would be really sad if individuals with mental illnesses were essentially discriminated against by having their charter rights denied, just because they have mental illness,” said the group’s Edmonton spokesperson Brad Peter. Dying with Dignity posits that mental suffering is just as valid as physical suffering. Physician-assisted death re-

quires assessment from two physicians, assessment of mental competency and an assessment of treatment options. Peter noted that a clause in the federal legislation already restricts assisted death to those whose death is “foreseeable,” which may amount to a de facto ban on mentally ill patients. Smith made the motion during a families and communities committee meeting Monday to change the definition of the word “harm” in Alberta’s Mental Health Act. He argued that if a person wants to die due to mental suffering, they should be given treatment, “regardless of whether they believe they can be helped or not.” “We have a duty to ensure that people who want to end their lives receive the best possible psycho-social help that they can receive even if it means they have to be involuntarily admitted,” he said. The motion was voted down. PC MLA Sandra Jansen blasted Smith’s suggestion, saying “the idea of providing an opportunity to lock someone up who expresses an interest in assisted suicide is heinous.” Smith declined an interview request Tuesday.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING Construction begins on apartment building Construction is set to begin on affordable housing in Edmonton that will give 230 people a home. Alberta Housing Minister Lori Sigurdson says the 70unit apartment building in the Parkdale community should be done by 2017.

She says it’s part of $14 million the government is putting up for affordable housing in Parkdale and for the Capital Region Housing Corp., which will manage the building. Alberta has promised to spend nearly $1.2 billion on affordable housing projects in the next five years. the canadian press

Developers push for reduced parking

council

Spots for cars are a big part of the cost of construction Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton Local developers encouraged councillors Tuesday to push ahead with plans to reduce parking requirements across the city, promising it would bring new housing types and better communities. Councillors will examine new bylaws early next year aimed at reducing the city’s parking requirements to one unit per dwelling for most housing types after receiving a report from administration that showed Edmonton demands much more parking from new development

than other communities. Edmonton currently requires two units per dwelling for single family homes and duplexes and has higher minimum parking requirements than most other Canadian cities for all other types of housing. The initial changes will focus on lower-density housing, but council also asked for a review that would look at even lower parking requirements around commercial areas and transitoriented development. Derrick Hiltz, with the Canadian Homebuilders Association, said the garage suites and garden suites that the city would like to see more of are hampered right now by parking demands. “It’s the restrictions in parking that prevent us from doing that for you,” he said. He told council that parking is a big part of the cost of highrise construction and adds to the cost of other kinds of

homes as well. “The allowance for that is $30,000 to $60,000 per stall, so that same thing translates into greenfill development or infill development,” he said. Hiltz said he believes the market is ready for change and said a recent development his company really showed people weren’t that interested in parking spaces. “They weren’t coming into our show homes and asking for bigger garages and more parking,” he said. Brian Trevelyan, with Rohit Communities, said when they attempted a low-parking development in Fort McMurray they had the same experience. “We didn’t see a massive effect. We didn’t see complaints. We saw an opportunity.” He said in the communities they have built in Edmonton parking stalls often go unused. “You can drive through and you can see extra stalls.”

bylaw

City council moves to legalize numerous secondary suites Potentially thousands of illegal secondary suites could be moved into the light of legality after council voted to move ahead with potential bylaw changes Tuesday. Councillors have asked city administration for a bylaw change that will come back for a vote later this year. In particular they have asked administration to look at making secondary suites legal in duplexes and semi-detached homes.

Coun. Bev Esslinger pushed for the changes. She said she heard from a lot of property owners who were surprised to find out their suites weren’t legal. “With our desire to improve density and affordability for people, I think it’s really important to provide as many options for people as possible,” she said. Currently the suites — mostly basement apartments — are only allowed in single-

family detached homes. The city doesn’t know exactly how many illegal units there are, but believes it could be in the thousands. Livia Balone, with the city’s zoning department, said the organization is dealing with 150 secondary suites that are illegal. She said working on these issues can be a time suck. “It could be well over 100 days; it’s usually about 200 days before we can get full compliance.” ryan tumilty/metro

Confrontations on the rise public safety

Mental illness leading to more police conflicts, says watchdog

We want fast resolutions so victims can heal.

In-custody deaths

Chris Hay

Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton The head of Alberta’s police watchdog team says mental illness is contributing to a spike in serious incidents involving officers on the streets. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) — which investigates allegations of police misconduct and police incidents resulting in serious injury or death — saw its case load jump to 78 investigations in 2015, up from 53 in 2014. In the previous five years, ASIRT averaged fewer than 35 cases per year. “We’ve seen a lot of cases involving suicidal individuals. So I don’t know whether it’s the economy or just the current climate, but there are

a lot of people struggling out there,” said executive director Susan Hughson. “And it, in my opinion just on the face of it, seems to be contributing to more confrontations with police

as well.” Hughson said ASIRT is also seeing better reporting from police services. The upswing in investigations has caused a “bottleneck” where some files are

taking upwards of a year to close, with the average case taking four to eight months. ASIRT is looking into ways administration can be more efficient. “If something goes over a

year, that’s a little too long for me,” Hughson said. “It’s very, very difficult on the families of the affected person and very difficult on the subject officers.” Chris Hay, executive director of the John Howard Society of Alberta, which supports victims of crime, is confident ASIRT is doing its due diligence. “We want fast resolutions so victims can heal. However, there are certain things that need to happen so we can get a good resolution for a victim,” he said. Despite the large number of lengthy investigations, few lead to criminal charges. Of ASIRT’s 78 investigations last year — including five fatal shootings, six sexual offences and 13 in-custody deaths — three resulted in criminal charges against an officer.

Redmen logos removed mascot

New murals to cover up ‘offensive’ images alex Boyd

Metro | Edmonton Soon, the Redman logos many call “outdated” and “offensive” will be nowhere to be found at the Victoria School of the Arts. Two new murals created by students and unveiled Tuesday morning will replace the two logos, which are attempts to portray chiefs — painted with red skin and headdresses — that remain on the wall of the gymnasium. The school’s sports teams were known as the Vic Redmen up until 2011, when the name was dropped. Most images of the mascot were also removed, with the exception of these two. Grade 11 student Hayden Amero, who is Métis, remembers seeing them for the first time. “It was like a stab. I was like,

first aboriginal studies class, who jumped at the chance to help create something to replace the signs. They worked with graffiti artist A.J. Louden and elder Gary Moostoos to come up with the new designs. Both are in the shape of a tur-

tle shell, a nod to Turtle Island, which features in many indigenous creation stories. One represents the past, one the future, but both are covered with images and words meaningful to indigenous culture. Amero points to an infinity sign, a Métis symbol, painted on top of the Northern Lights. “I think that’s really nice because it shows how connected we are to nature, and how we find Mother Earth so important.” The two Redmen remained — painted soon after the gym was built in 1948, though no exact dates are known — after the name change because they were large and painted onto brick, so removing them presented a challenge, school principal Tami Dowler-Coltman said. She calls them “outdated,” but said she didn’t want to dictate what would replace them. She wanted students to choose instead. Speaking to hundreds of students Tuesday, she said it was an important day in the history of the school. “(The new murals) will help us reconcile our past and reclaim the future.”

climate change

Minister defends ad blitz Alberta’s environment minister says a multimillion-dollar summer advertising campaign to promote the province’s climatechange plan is necessary because of its sweeping impact. Shannon Phillips says the plan is far-reaching and complex, and the government has a duty to communicate it. The $4.4-million campaign is to feature ads online, on TV, on radio, in print and in mailouts. The climate-change plan includes a broad-based carbon tax that is to begin on Jan. 1. It will increase the cost of gas at the pumps and the price to heat homes and businesses. Opposition critics say the carbon tax isn’t going over well with Albertans and the ad campaign is a desperate bid to sell something the public just isn’t buying. The plan, announced last year by Notley and Phillips, is a multipronged approach to reduce Alberta’s carbon footprint and give it more environmental credibility when it pitches for national projects like pipelines to ports. the canadian press

Kijiji ad offers two-month-old for sale Luke Simcoe

Metro | Toronto Toronto police are investigating after someone posted a Kijiji ad attempting to selling a twomonth-old baby boy for $600. The ad was posted to the classified website Monday but has since been removed. The case is being handled by the police department’s cyber crimes unit. “There’s a high likelihood that

this is someone who thinks this is funny, but it’s something that needs to be investigated,” Const. Craig Brister told Metro on Tuesday. The baby’s mother died “in the process” of giving birth, the ad claims. “I can’t take care of the baby myself, so I decided to post an ad up on Kijiji. The baby is male an unnamed,” it reads. “I want $600 or best offer … I just need this baby gone.” Screenshots of the ad circu-

lating on social media evoked a strong response from users. “This has to be a sick joke. I sincerely hope it is and if it isn’t that baby is removed from the situation immediately,” wrote one Facebook user. Even if the post is a hoax, Brister said the author could be charged with mischief. However, it’s likely they would just receive a warning, he said. “If you had someone doing it repeatedly, that’s a different story,” he said. The Kijiji ad SCREENGRAB

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paddles in a canoe on the Ottawa River on Tuesday. Sean Kilpatrick/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Tribute paid to natives National Aboriginal Day

PM bathed in smoke, then paddled in a canoe in river Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in vintage form Tuesday as he took part in a ceremony marking the 20th annual National Aboriginal Day. Trudeau attended a sunrise ritual on the shore of the Ottawa River wearing moccasins and a buckskin jacket that the Prime Minister’s Office said was owned by his father, the late Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The former prime minister was known in his younger years for donning buckskin before venturing out on canoeing expeditions in Canada’s far north. As the sun rose beyond a bridge linking Quebec and Ontario, the younger Trudeau was bathed with a ceremonial smoke as part of a smudging ceremony before paddling beneath the Parliament Buildings in a 10-metre cargo canoe. The federal government began observing National Aboriginal Day on June 21 two decades ago. This year, the tribute in the national capital region took place outside Canada’s Museum of History with several federal cabinet ministers and local MPs in attendance. Trudeau didn’t speak publicly at the event, but issued a

statement in which he encouraged Canadians to learn more about the country’s indigenous heritage. “National Aboriginal Day is first and foremost an occasion to celebrate the fundamental role First Nations, Metis, and Inuit have played - and continue to play - in shaping the identity of all Canadians,” the statement said. “Coast to coast to coast, their remarkable art and cultures, significant contributions and history, are essential to our sense of nationhood.” Trudeau also pointed to a rash of recent suicides in some aboriginal communities, and the feelings of despair felt by some indigenous Canadians, as reasons for governments to “better support the well-being of children and families, improve the quality of education for indigenous students, and ensure health services meet the needs of indigenous communities.” Elsewhere in Ottawa, the Senate’s Aboriginal Peoples committee opening its doors to 12 indigenous youth leaders from across Canada to hear their concerns about the future of their communities, their families and their people. “This government is opening doors right now … but I think a lot of our communities are still having that hopeful anxiety of ... ‘Is (there) actually going to be action put forth,”’ said 29-yearold Justin Holness, a member of Saskatchewan’s Ocean Man First Nation.

Beckhams voting to remain

United Kingdom

Referendum closing in as Cameron tries to sway voters From the prime minister to sports and pop icons David and Victoria Beckham, supporters of Britain staying in the European Union urged voters Tuesday to think about future generations when they cast ballots in a referendum that has divided the nation. With the black door of 10 Downing St. offering a statesman’s backdrop, Cameron appealed directly to EU-wary older voters, saying that leaving the bloc would risk the country’s economic security — and younger generations would have to live with the consequences. “Do think about the hopes and dreams of your children and grandchildren,” he said. “They can’t undo the decision we take,” he said. “If we vote out, that’s it. It’s irreversible.” The plea came as the already heated campaign moved

into its tense final days. Opponents said the statement outside the prime minister’s residence betrayed Cameron’s worry that the referendum he called to settle Britain’s place in Europe could end with the country walking away from the bloc. Steve Hilton, a former Cameron adviser who now backs a “leave” vote, said Cameron had been “wheeled out by rather panicky spin doctors” to appeal for votes. Cameron seemed to direct his appeal at those who grew up in the after-shadow of Brit-

part of a 28-nation bloc — and that being in the EU allows the country to promote the values it holds dear. “Brits don’t quit,” he said. “We get involved, we take a lead. We make a difference. We get things done.” Cameron acknowledged that many Britons didn’t vote for him and don’t like him. The “remain” camp also got a boost from more popular — and populist — figures when soccer star David Beckham and his designer wife Victoria added their voices to the EU cause.

We should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone. David Beckham ain’s imperial period, in a nation that had stood against Nazi tyranny during World War II. Polls suggest these voters, many of them Conservatives, are more likely than younger Britons to reject the pan-European EU project. Cameron tried to assure them that Britain remains a great country — even if it is

“For our children and their children, we should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone,” he said. Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham later registered her view by posting the symbol of the “Stronger In” campaign on her Instagram page. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Borders shut after Jordan suicide attack Jordan sealed its last entry point for Syrian refugees Tuesday after a cross-border suicide attack killed six members of the Jordanian security forces, wounded 14 and exposed the pro-Western kingdom’s growing vulnerability to spillover from the conflict. The closure raised questions about the fate of thousands of Syrian refugees who are stranded in desert areas along the border, who depend on food and water from the Jordanian side. Jordan said its security comes first. Government spokesman Mohammed Momani said Jordan had warned for months that mil-

itants are mingling with refugees in the two rapidly expanding encampments on the border and pose a serious security threat. “The border will be closed,” Momani told reporters. “We will not allow the crossing of people or vehicles through that area.” King Abdullah II said in a statement that Jordan will “respond with an iron fist” to anyone harming its borders or security, but did not lay out specifics. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the assault, the third against Jordanian security installations in seven months. Tuesday’s attack was launched

inside,” he said. The military said the blast targeted a Jordanian army post. A Ruqban resident said he saw a pickup truck crashing through a Jordanian border gate. Seconds later, a blast went off, followed by the sound of shooting, said the resident, who spoke to The Associated Press over the phone from the area. He spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of repercussions from the authorities.

Latte lawsuit to proceed A federal judge is allowing the bulk of a lawsuit accusing Starbucks of systematically underfilling lattes to move forward. Two California residents are suing the coffee chain, claiming that Starbucks lattes are only filled to about 75 per cent of the cup’s capacity. The lawsuit says Starbucks instituted a recipe in 2009 to create smaller lattes in order to save money on milk. Starbucks spokesman Reggie Borges says that the company believes the lawsuit is “without merit” and it will be prepared to defend itself in court.

Market in a shipping container Wanyee Li

Metro | Vancouver A Vancouver chef and entrepreneur is creating a new public food market made out of shipping containers that aims to help customers connect with local makers of food, from farmers to chefs. The project is the brainchild of Chris Jerome, founder of Hawkers Market, a series of popup events he describes as “underground food markets.” But Hawkers Wharf will be a permanent 100,000-square-foot waterfront site and feature more than 40 food producers at any given time, said Jerome. “They’re all local businesses, they’re all from Vancouver,

all focused on very traceable foods,” he said. “They’re encouraged to do their food in a sustainable way. That’s one of the mandates of the market.” The site will also feature an incubator kitchen for chefs to connect and test out their products before bringing the product to customers. “It’s such a needed resource in the city where new food businesses can come and they can connect and they can learn from other cooks.” The incubator, called a coworking kitchen, will support entrepreneurial chefs who want to start their own product line. “People looking for places to take their ideas to and then create a business out of it and

then also get the customer sales and validation.” Shipping containers have been used to create housing in Vancouver, but Jerome wanted to take that idea one step further and create an entire marketplace with the modular structures. The containers are easily customizable and can suit any restaurateur’s needs, whether they make tacos or pizzas, he said. “The reason why we chose shipping containers is because these are modular template businesses that can be operated by food entrepreneurs.” Decommissioned shipping containers are also economical building blocks that are easily transportable. “We treat them very much like Lego blocks.”

Rosemary Westwood on HOW TO BE A WIFE

SO NOW WHAT WILL ‘I DO’? I’ve spent my adult life identifying as an uncompromising feminist, but in preparing for marriage and its innumerable compromises, I’m forced to figure out how to pick my battles It’s a strange thing to be on the brink of “wife.” Over the last two years, as I have fallen in love and become engaged, I’ve had to face the idea of marriage, an institution which, though released from its former function as a means of owning a woman or legally raping her, remains awkward for the liberated woman. There seem to be three in this relationship: Myself, my fiancé, and my feminism. And while the latter played a clear and dominating role when I was a single woman, it has seemed unequipped for — even hostile to — love. That has sparked a genuine period of panic and doubt: How does one square her feminism with “the wife”? Statistics don’t help. Excerpting her new book, All the Single Ladies, in New York magazine this spring, Rebecca Traister detailed how married women’s earnings in the U.S. trail single women’s by a wide margin. In Canada, married men outearned married women by nearly $20,000 on average in 2008. And for couples with kids, even when both parents are working, Canadian women in 2010 were spending at least 20 hours a week more than men on unpaid child care. This is not far from where we were a decade ago. In 2004, in her book The Meaning of Wife, the writer Anne Kingston described how wifeliness remained a useful tool to define women, and to shame and coerce them into socially acceptable roles. “A lot of the themes haven’t really changed, in fact they’ve kind of amplified,” Kingston told me

There are opportunities in intimate life. I can’t fix societal expectations. But I can influence the structures of my own marriage.

recently during a chat for my new podcast, called Nth Wave.

Never mind the new era of fetishized

kept women. “I couldn’t have imagined the Real Housewives franchise,” she said with a laugh. Kingston told me that when she was writing the book she was really fascinated by what she saw as a calcified notion of what a wife was. “Women I knew didn’t want to become wives, wife

was a dirty word, yet at the same time most women became wives and are wives.” Around that time, I was graduating high school and heading to university. I had been assuming feminism was a dead cause, as I foolishly told one professor. It’s a story I think of often, because of how unnervingly little I knew about what I

The battle of the buckskins

. Early Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau participated in a canoe ride

wearing a buckskin jacket that the PMO said belonged to the PM’s father, Pierre Trudeau. The elder Trudeau, we scarcely need remind you, made a signature out of the buckskin look: The image of Pierre rocking tan fringe while paddling a canoe on some remote Canadian waterway is this country’s answer to John F. Kennedy and his family at the compound in Hyannis Port. Political considerations aside, we left it to you, the readers, the settle the equally important sartorial question.

We asked: Who wore the buckskin better?

70%: Pierre

He’s the OG. Justin’s nothing but a damswagger jacker. Justin hasn’t found his swagger yet

30%: Justin

He took an already great look and added great hair.

Justin is very open and adorable...he looks great in anything he wears!

Pierre is just doing it. Justin’s is a self-conscious photo op.

Look at the way Pierre is wearing it ... with style! The jacket isn’t wearing him, he’s wearing the jacket!

didn’t know. My professor was nonplussed, responding with something to the effect of, “Just you wait,” and planting doubt. In one political science course, feminist theory took up a thin, measly chapter, and I noticed. In third year, I took a queer studies class that sent me into furious debates with my poor father, whom I forced to be a foil for the epiphanies tossed out in class. I had been that girl who fought boys on other girls’ behalf, and I became that woman who took every chance to fight what I saw as the patriarchy. In my ensuing years as a single feminist, it was me-against-the-world, and I never noticed how often feminism itself was framed in that hyper-individualized, confrontational way. The message was always to guard against lurking sexism. To expect to not only to fight for your own place it in the world, but also to then defend it fiercely. To not give an inch — let alone your whole self. A marriage, however, can’t operate like a war zone. Giving in, even giving up, will be required, because it’s a community. And feminism, particularly the form of it that’s ascendant in our society right now, focused as it is on fighting poverty and sexual violence and illuminating the intersections of race and class, doesn’t offer much help. The very word, “wife,” as Kingston said during our conversation, still holds that “beta” connotation. And as I set out to become one, what concerns me most is how I might, somewhere down deep, believe in that connotation myself. What does an “equal” marriage even look like? And if the women at Harvard, and women everywhere really, could enter into relationships expecting equality and then still find that they make less money, do far more chores or end up

with half-realized careers — how could I possibly assume I’d escape the same fate? Perhaps I won’t. But there are opportunities in intimate life. I can’t fix societal expectations. But I can influence the structures of my own marriage. It’s an act of faith and hope I’m willing to take, for love. I believe I can choose my own definition of wife. I can imagine a more egalitarian family. Others already are. This week, the Journal of Marriage and Family released details of a new study that found couples with a “more egalitarian division of labour” have more sex. Here’s hoping equality always feels that good. Search for ‘Nth Wave,’ Rosie’s new podcast about women and the media, on iTunes, Stitcher and Soundcloud.

show your pride taste the rainbow

There are more ways to “taste the rainbow” than with a package of vending machine candy. Why not a bagel? Or on the top of a morning latte? Yes, LGBTQ Pride season is in full swing across Canada, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy these colourful treats all year long. Here are a few to inspire you. torstar news service

Bagels New York’s The Bagel Store unearthed the rainbow food trend this year when it went viral online for the “rainbow bagel.” Owner Scot Rossillo and his team flatten neoncoloured mounds of dough on top of each other, then slice and roll them into bagel circles. Earlier this year, The Bagel Store was selling up to 800 of the brightly coloured bagels each day. Inspired by the success of its fellow bagel maker to the south, Montreal shop REAL Bagel Inc. now serves rainbow bagels, too. And on the west coast, Vancouver’s Rosemary Rocksalt is adding colour to its repertoire.

Grilled cheese

Lattes

Forget bottled food colouring. The chefs at Grill My Cheese in London, England, opt for beetroot, arugula, roasted onion, goat cheese and truffle oil to make their oozy rainbow grilled cheese.

Cake

Caffeinate with some flare and order some rainbow latte art, colourful designs made with food dye added to steamed milk. Stuart Ross of Bull Dog Coffee near Church and Gerrard streets in Toronto has been pouring colourful flowers and hearts since April, inspired by Las Vegas coffee shop Sambalatte.

Cake is a Pride staple. Wanda’s Pie in the Sky on Augusta Ave. in Toronto will be offering rainbow cakes and cupcakes at its Kensington Market shop. The treats, dressed with sprinkles and covered in a white buttercream frosting or chocolate ganache, have seven layers, each with a different flavour and colour. Want to try making it at home?

HERE’S WHY

Equivalent to two Arby’s Regular Roast Beef Sandwiches in fat. These salads are classic pairings for burgers and hot dogs at summer BBQs. As tasty as a creamy potato salad is, it’s one to skip — the mayo-based dressing packs on the fat and calories; it also won’t last long in the summer heat. When picking a coleslaw, make sure it’s in an oil & vinegarbased slaw. This way you’re only getting a third of the fat and about half the calories.

Justified’s dialogue is a character all its own THE SHOW: Justified, Season 5, Episode 4 on Shomi THE MOMENT: The conversating

U.S. Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) enters the bar owned by his old frenemy, career criminal Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins). “I’m afraid you caught us with a closed sign up,” Boyd says. “Allow me a moment to collect my wits such to reply,” Raylan says. “I’m overcome trying to factor how many weapons you, a felon, are armed with.” “I’m not armed as such,” Boyd protests. “Just transporting this legally procured hunting implement from point A to point B.” “We have a more pressing concern,” Raylan says. “I understand Wade Messer worked principally for you.” “Your use of the past tense gives me some sense of foreboding,” Boyd says. “The man’s wandered some off the radar,” Raylan says. “And what leads you to surmise he has continued affiliation with me?” Boyd asks.

This conversating (as folks ’round here call it) meanders on for some while. Eventually it lands on what Raylan wants, Messer’s cellphone number. On other shows, this scene would be two lines long. But Justified comes most deliciously alive when these two are in a room together, circling each other like lazy mountain lions. It’s the Olympics of who can drawl more softly, spin prettier prevarications, eyeball each other more calmly. Nothing establishes Justi-

fied’s backwoods Kentucky mise-en-scène better than its dialogue. Right away, you know who its characters are: people who don’t read many books but have one in common, the Bible. Their affiliations are tribal, but they speak the language of sermons. Their dialogue is a character all its own. Johanna Schneller is a media connoisseur who zeroes in on pop-culture moments.

You grab a granola bar on the way out the door, eat a yogurt instead of lunch, then finally tuck into a proper dinner and half a bag of chips after you stumble home at 9 p.m. Sound familiar? Irregular eating patterns because of busy, unpredictable work and school schedules are a reality for many across the Western world, including Canadians. They may be causing “social jetlag”: disturbances in the internal body clock, also called the circadian rhythm. Many processes your body uses to break down and use energy from food are part of the circadian clock, following a predictable daily cycle. New research suggests messing with that cycle — by eating and sleeping willy-nilly — could be a recipe for health problems. Two papers published Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the Nutrition Society collect past studies about how the timing of meals throughout the day affects overall health. One looked at the impact of erratic eating on heart health and metabolism. The other investigated how the timing of

meals impacts people’s ability to maintain a healthy weight. The conclusions were tentative. More research is needed. But the findings boil down to this: Some old-fashioned nutrition wisdom dispensed by grandmas everywhere turns out to be right. Firstly, three square meals a day might just keep the doctor away. Two studies that randomized participants to either an irregular or regular diet found the regular eaters had lower peak insulin and lower ‘bad’ cholesterol, indicators of heart health. Secondly, according to nutrition scientist and study author Gerda Pot, “There seems to be some truth in the saying ‘Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pau-

per”: Studies suggest a clear link between obesity and consuming more calories later at night. In the U.K. and U.S. — global obesity hotspots — most people increase their calorie intake through the day. The slimmer French tend to eat larger lunches and small dinners. The collected studies also contained no evidence that eating small meals throughout the day, a common dieting tip, reduces obesity. In fact, it seems the opposite is true. So science says we should eat fewer meals, on a regular schedule, and get more of our calories earlier in the day. Here’s a delicious thought: One weapon against the obesity crisis may just be brunch.

Road t e st e d the checklist | 2016 VW Beetle Denim THE BASICS Type. Two door, FWD, compact convertible Engine (hp). 1.8 L turbocharged I4 (170) Transmission. Sixspeed automatic with Tiptronic Base Price (not including destination). $29,350

Points • Available in Pure White and Stonewashed Blue Metallic. • Just 143 allocated in Canada for 2016, and then that’s it — no more Denim Convertibles. A limitededition Denim Sedan arrives in 2017.

You’re just heading out in your Canadian Tuxedo, a.k.a. blue jeans paired with a denim jacket, but something’s wrong. You’re thinking maybe you need more cowbell, but that’s not it. Then it dawns on you. You have a fever, and the only prescription is more denim! Enter the special edition 2016 VW Beetle Denim. Just what the doctor ordered. It may not have actual denim anywhere near it, but the spirit of the fabric is what it’s all about. Witness the Stonewash Blue Metallic paint job, the convertible top and seat covers that mimic the look of denim, seatback pockets that look like the pockets on your favourite pair of jeans (right down to the red tab), and the colour co-ordinated “brushed aluminum” look dashboard. The exterior has been tweaked to take you back to that groovy time back in 1970s, when denim ruled every-day fashion, like a casual dictator. Check out those ’70s-era “dog dish” wheels. All this extra nostalgia plied on a nameplate already rampant with nostalgia could have been a kitschy disaster, but the Denim is one of the best look-

ing “new” Beetles models out there, at least to these eyes, and to the eyes of my significant other, who is usually ambivalent about any vehicle design, no matter what the vehicle genre or price point. (“That? That costs eighty grand? No thank you.”) Underneath the denim treatment is a standard VW Beetle convertible, and that means a decent, but not an overwhelming driving and handling experience, a pretty tight rear seat, restricted rearward vision, and a very small trunk, which is further compromised by its responsibility to house the back cover that goes over the roof when it’s down. The seats are very comfortable and supportive, and the new touch screen, rear camera, and apps for Android Auto and Apple Car Play, give the Denim a very modern and classy feel behind the wheel. The new powertrain is also very refined and slick, although some launches came with a nagging dead spot, until the motor and auto transmission figured out what to do. The Denim is meant to be a fun, and the fun goes up several notches whenever you press the button that powers the roof down — in less than 10 seconds. When it’s that easy and quick to get the roof down and up, you’ll surely do more openair motoring than you would otherwise. Like jeans, convertibles never seem to go out of style and always put you in a good mood. Put the two together and how can you lose?

Brands Most popular with the younger buyers

According to data from IHS Automotive, the Subaru WRX has the highest mix of millennial buyers overall. But which brands have the most millennial buyers? You might be surprised at some of the answers. JASON SIU/AUTOGUIDE.COM

Dodge The most popular automaker among millennials isn’t Chevy or Ford, but Dodge. Last year, 15.8 per cent of its sales went to younger buyers.

Mitsubishi Younger buyers account for 15.3 per cent of Mitsubishi sales. While on the face of it this news may seem surprising, smaller models like the Mirage and the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4, which debuted in New York earlier this year, tend to appeal to a younger demographic.

Mazda Mazda is zoom-zooming its way into young buyers’ hearts, with the Japanese automaker coming in third place with 15.2 per cent of its sales going to those between 18 to 34.

2016 Chevy Malibu Aces IIHS Crash Tests The 2016 Chevy Malibu has been named a Top Safety Pick Plus by the U.S.-based non-profit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The car scored the top â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? rating in all of the crash test categories, including in the tough small overlap test. To gain the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plusâ&#x20AC;? moniker, a car must score at least an â&#x20AC;&#x153;advancedâ&#x20AC;? rating for front crash prevention, which the Malibu exceeded with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;superiorâ&#x20AC;? rating. In testing, the Malibu totally avoided a collision when run at an obstacle at 19 km/h.

One country is making the move to ban sales of gasoline-powered vehicles. According to a new report, Norwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four main political parties have come toÂ an agreement on a new energy policy that would result in a ban of gasoline-poweredÂ car sales as early as 2025. Making the law even more interesting is the fact that Norway is currently one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest oil exporters. Jason Siu/Autoguide.com

There are a lot of new things happening with the upcomingÂ Ghostbusters movie. Along with an allfemale cast for its main characters, the newÂ Ghostbusters willÂ change how you see Ecto-1 for years to come.Â The original movies used a 1959 Cadillac ambulance, and the new Ecto-1 comes in the form of a 1982 Cadillac hearse. In a way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite the opposite fromÂ the previous Ecto-1, considering an ambulanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main priority is to save people from dying, while a hearse transports people who are already dead. The story goes that the new team gets a hold of the hearse, which is borrowed from Patty Tolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Leslie Jones) uncle, who runs a funeral home. Jason Siu/Autoguide.com

Maybe wagons arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dead after all. Mercedes-Benz has just introduced the 2017 Mercedes E400Â wagon, sporting a 3.0-litre V6Â Biturbo engine with 329 horsepower. Although the popularity of wagons hasÂ diminished over the recent years thanks to crossovers and SUVs, Mercedes will continue offering its E-Class wagon variant in North America. Unfortunately, the companyÂ has confirmed the hotter Mercedes-AMG E43 is currently not planned for the U.S. market, although that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule out any other AMG models. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if the

range-topping E63 comes to the U.S. at a later date. For now, shoppers will have to settle for the E400 4MATIC wagon, which sees its powerplant mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. With three rows of seats, the E400 wagon allows seating up for up to seven and the model comes standard with foldable rear-facing seats in the cargo area. The 2017 Mercedes E400 wagon will be available in both Luxury and Sport models, so shoppers can choose between classic bumpers and styling with a hood ornament or sportier bumpers further accented by a grille. Like the E-Class sedan, the wagon variant benefits from all the new high-tech features including two optional highresolution displays.

AUTO NEWS Volvo V90 and S90 Polestar models could make 600 horsepower Volvoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Polestar performance tuning division is looking to turn up the heat on both the new S90 and V90.Â Volvo R&D chief Peter Mertens confirmed toÂ Motor TrendÂ that Polestar models for the S90 and V90 are coming and they could pack up to 600 horsepower. What is most impressive is that these cars will use a modified version of Volvoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2.0-litre supercharged and turbocharged four-cylinder engine, with some help coming from a hybrid system. The 2.0-litre engine alone can be cranked up to around 450 hp according to Mertens, while the hybrid system would provide the remaining power. Currently, the electric motor in the T8 plug-in hybrid models puts out 87 hp, so it would have to be upgraded. If Volvo hits the 600 hp mark, it will be able to keep up with its rivals from BMW M and Mercedes-AMG. Jason Siu/Autoguide.com

says he’s Hockey heating up in St-Pierre ready to fight again American Southwest 12 MMA

Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre says he’s ready to return to the octagon. The 35-year-old Canadian fighter told the podcast MMA Hour that he’s ready to come out of retirement in an interview on Monday. St-Pierre said things still need to be ironed out with the UFC, however. He hasn’t fought in three years since beating Johnny Hendricks for his ninth straight welterweight title defence. St-Pierre stepped away from the octagon after that fight. He then tore his ACL in 2014. “I’m an emotional guy,” StPierre said. “My agents, even before I came on the

Top prospect a product of expansion into Arizona About a year before Auston Matthews was born, professional hockey arrived in Arizona. He took in his first Coyotes game as a two-year-old, and his gaze never strayed far from the ice. “From a young age,” Matthews said, “I wanted to be an NHL hockey player.” Learning to skate might never be a top-of-the-bucket-list item for the youth of the American Southwest, with a prohibitive climate and a scant tradition, but hockey has been on the rise in the Phoenix area since the franchise relocated from Winnipeg in 1996. The team has struggled financially, with attendance at the suburban arena in Glendale frequently landing near the bottom of the league, but the embodiment of the sport’s expansion will be on stage Friday at the NHL draft. Matthews is expected to be the first pick by the Toronto Maple Leafs. “It’s what you think about since you were a little kid,” said Matthews, a six-foot-two, 210-pound centre who joined the U.S. national team development program three years ago

They said, ‘don’t say this, don’t say that.’ They briefed me, they said, ‘we’re in negotiations, remember, blah, blah, blah.”’ “I’m not trying to go overboard with this,” he added. “I love my sport and I still feel I’m at my best right now,” St-Pierre said on the podcast. “The clock is running. I’m not getting any younger. I’m in the peak of my career and if there is a shot, there is another goal, another run, I better do it and do it quick, because it is time to do it now.”

He could have picked baseball, which his father played in college, but the presence of the Coyotes spawned an admiration of players like Danny Briere and Shane Doan and an appreciation for the Zamboni. Matthews was on a travelling team by age eight, heading to tournaments in Chicago, Detroit

and Canada where the game is a well-established pastime. “A lot of people, when they hear you play hockey and you’re from Arizona, kind of have this mindset where they don’t even think there’s hockey down there,” Matthews said, “but I never really thought about it too much as far as that goes. I always had a goal to make the NHL. It doesn’t matter where you’re playing.” The Associated Press

Engelland: Vegas is ‘like any other city’

St-Pierre has won his last 12 fights.

The bright lights, endless buffets and blackjack tables of the Las Vegas Strip get old pretty quick, according to Calgary Flames defenceman Deryk Engelland. If anyone understands what the NHL might look like in the Nevada desert it’s Engelland, who’s lived in Vegas with his family for the last 12 years. Born in Edmonton, but raised in a tiny northern B.C., town, Engelland got his first taste of the city as a 21-year-old playing for the now-extinct Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL. At first he was intrigued by the excitement of the city, and the Strip

specifically. “But you come here and (that part) gets old really fast,” said the 34-year-old Engelland. “You learn the city and places to go

and places not to go. I think it’s just like any other city.” NHL players will soon get a taste of Vegas life with the league’s board of governors expected to approve an expansion team for the city Wednesday. NHL coaches believe the nightlife question will have to be addressed, especially the first time through. “I flew in here and I’m going: ‘How would I handle this?”’ said Barry Trotz, the Washington Capitals head coach and nominee for the Jack Adams Trophy. “It’ll be very hard to keep teams focused the first time through.” the Canadian Press

IN BRIEF NHL salary cap rises to $73M The salary cap for the 201617 NHL season will be $73 million, up from $71.4 million. The league and NHL Players’ Association announced the cap number Tuesday night. The cap floor, or the minimum amount a team can spend, is $54 million. It was $52.8 million last season. The Canadian dollar was one reason why league revenues sagged, preventing a larger cap increase.

2016

Group stage

Croatian jubilation Ivan Perisic scored in the 87th minute as Croatia stunned Spain in a 2-1 comeback victory Tuesday to finish atop of Group D at the European Championship. Perisic’s winning goal gave Croatia its first victory over Spain in 22 years and ended its unbeaten run at a European Championship that stretched back to 2004. “The team spirit helped us and we were fighting until the last minute,” Perisic said through a translator. “I think we can go far now. If we play like this we can go to the very end.” Defeat means that Spain will now meet Italy in the round of 16 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. Croatia will play one of the third-place teams in the northern French city of Lens. It had all started so well for Spain, when striker Alvaro Morata put his side ahead in the seventh minute, redirecting the ball into the net after a shot by midfielder Cesc Fabregas. Nikola Kalinic equalized just before halftime with a nice back-heel flick that beat Spain goalkeeper David De Gea at the near post after Perisic delivered the cross from the left. Perisic scored with a low left-foot shot, finishing off a fast counter attack. Spain was at full strength despite having already qualified, playing with the same 11 that won its first two games. Croatia was without star midfielder Luka Modric and forward Mario Mandzukic due to muscle injuries. In Tuesday’s other Group D matchup, Turkey defeated Czech Republic 2-0. Meanwhile in Group C, Germany beat Northern Ireland 1-0 and Poland earned 1-0 victory over Ukraine. The Associated Press

Amid the hooting and hollering at Washington Redskins minicamp, there’s a different sound in the air during running back drills. Coaches whack at the football with Matt Jones carrying it, and it beeps. Then it beeps longer. That’s a good sign. The Redskins are one of five NFL teams using so-called beeping or whistling footballs to emphasize ball security. When the ball is being held correctly with the fundamental five points of pressure, it emits an audible beeping sound at about 80 decibels to tell a player he’s doing it right. “If I had that ball in high school, I don’t think I would’ve had a fumble,” Jones said. “It’s teaching me how to squeeze the ball at the point of contact. Everything has changed about me holding the ball.” Cutting down on fumbles is the goal of the ball, developed by Division II Northwood University assistant coach Tom Creguer and used by the Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and several college teams, including Tennessee and Michigan State. The San Diego Chargers plan to start using them at training camp. Creguer said practising with “High and Tight” footballs , which cost about $150 each, reduced Northwood’s fumbles by 63 per cent last season. Many NFL position coaches got the lowdown on them at the scouting combine.

“It basically reinforces the proper hold by teaching the athlete to put their forearm to the panel, their panel to the chest and to compress the ball evenly with equal distribution of pressure, therefore creating basically a vice around the football, creating that muscle memory of what it feels like to have the ball secured to their body at all times,” Creguer said in a phone interview. Coaches have taught ball security for decades, but this technology adds another element. Creguer said Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown texted him that he’ll use the beeping footballs as long as he’s working.

IN BRIEF Calipari expects big things from Canada’s Murray Jamal Murray is on the cusp of becoming the next Canadian star in the NBA, and his college coach John Calipari predicts big things from the sharp-shooter. “Let me say this ... I’ve been wrong before in what I think. The last time I was wrong, I think it was 1978,” Kentucky’s Calipari said Tuesday. “I believe that Jamal Murray will be the leading-scoring rookie in the NBA. That’s what I believe.” the Associated Press

“They didn’t like it at first,” Brown said. “I think it was just the pressure you had to do it. They’re not used to squeezing it that hard.” Players aren’t the only ones adjusting to how to squeeze a football tight enough. During a presentation on ball security, Ravens running backs coach Thomas Hammock demonstrated and then tossed the ball to coach John Harbaugh, who couldn’t get it to beep. “I’ve been working out; I feel like I’m pretty strong right now,” Harbaugh said with a laugh. “Found out later the battery was dead, for the record. I’m sticking to it, that’s right.” On the field, though, it

seems to be working. Brown said Cowboys running backs Ezekiel Elliott and Alfred Morris fumbled less during organized team activities and minicamp after working with the beeping balls in drills. Colts running back Robert Turbin has only lost one fumble in 281 career carries but is open to new ideas about how to get better. He had never seen anything like the beeping footballs. “All running backs fumble, but as they say, iron sharpens iron, so just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you can’t get better at it,” Turbin said.
