‘Alberta first’: Kenney tries to unite the right MP Jason Kenney thrust uniting the right to the front burner of Alberta politics Wednesday as he pledged to use a run at the Progressive Conservative leadership to bring together small-c conservative voters to defeat the NDP. The high-profile former federal cabinet minister said it’s imperative that the Alberta Tories and Opposition Wildrose put past differences aside if they are to take back power from Rachel Notley’s “accidental NDP government.” “The Progressive Conservatives and Wildrose parties must put Alberta first,” he told supporters Wednesday. “We must come together to form a single, free-enterprise party.” The two parties split the right-leaning vote in the May 2015 election, and the NDP captured a majority for the first time in provincial history. Tory leader and premier Jim Prentice resigned on election night, and the party has been without a permanent leader ever since. It could be a tough fight brokering a reconciliation between the more moderate PCs and the hard-line Wildrose. The PCs have said they aren’t keen to merge. One Tory member of the legislature, Sandra Jansen, has already said she won’t sit in a Tory caucus led by Kenney. Party president Katherine O’Neill said Wednesday she expects other candidates will join the race. The Wildrose has said it would be happy to unite but only under its banner and with Leader Brian Jean calling the shots. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Naloxone nasal spray to Canada A drug that can save opioid users from fatal overdose will soon be available as a nasal spray in Canada. Federal Health Minister Jane Philpott signed an interim order to temporarily allow naloxone in spray form to be imported from the U.S. as an emergency public health measure responding to Canada’s opioid crisis. Health Canada is conducting an expedited review for full authorization. Until now, naloxone was only available in an injectable format in Canada. Instructions will be provided with nasal sprays distributed across the country to promote safe and effective use of the drug. In 2015, Alberta recorded 272 overdose deaths where the potent opioid fentanyl was detected. Metro

Action urged on forced labour trafficking
Report shows lack of resources and awareness Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton Alberta businesses are benefiting from forced labour and there is little being done to stop it, according to the Action Coalition on Human Trafficking. ACT Alberta is calling for changes after the U.S. State Department’s annual Trafficking in Persons Report noted that awareness and resources are lacking on labour trafficking in Canada. The problem is most prevalent in Alberta and Ontario, according to the federal government’s National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. “Albertans are outraged about this issue, and nobody wants to tolerate modern-day slavery in our communities,” said ACT executive director Andrea Burkhart. “Some of the businesses that
Albertans (use) on a daily basis may be benefiting from trafficked labour.” Burkhart said employees who are victims of labour trafficking are found in restaurants, hotels, construction, agriculture, nail salons and homes — live-in caregivers, for example — throughout Alberta. Estimates on numbers of vary wildly, but close to 45 per cent of human trafficking referrals to ACT Alberta are labour related. Burkhart said labour trafficking affects Temporary Foreign Workers more than Canadian citizens, though it is hard to track due to a lack of research and standardized assessment tools. “We don’t have the resources we need as a community to deal with this,” she said. “We really are as a country, just — I would say — hitting the tip of the iceberg in terms of our response to this issue.” What is known is that a “statistically significant” number of cases go unreported, based on the cases ACT Alberta sees versus the much smaller number of cases that go to law enforcement and eventually lead to charges.

45 per cent of referrals to ACT Alberta are linked to labour trafficking.

Referrals that have sex trafficking is present in 63 per cent of cases, with an overlap of nine per cent who were victims of both labour and sex trafficking.
Helping workers is complex as many lack the education to identify trafficking, and those who do often fear for their safety or face legal challenges and language barriers. “Oftentimes these people fall between the cracks in our system,” Burkhart said. ACT Alberta is undertaking research on labour trafficking in Edmonton that will be released this fall.

Indigenous stories will take on a central role at Fort Edmonton Park after the newly announced Indigenous Peoples’ Experience. It was announced Wednesday that part of the $33.5 million dedicated to the park in the 2016 Alberta budget will go toward the construction of the new building, which will
house indigenous peoples’ stories from the Edmonton area. Tony Alexis, Grand Chief of the Confederacy of Treaty 6, said in a press statement that this is a good example of partnerships that can help to tell stories. “Partnerships are important,” said Alexis. “There’s new collaborative efforts by Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to tell the best story going forward.” At the announcement, Pre-
mier Rachel Notley said building the park will happen in a respectful and historical way, with input from the Confederacy of Treaty 6 and the Métis Nation of Alberta. “With this latest investment they will take their rightful place at the heart of Edmonton’s story,” Notley said. The Indigenous Peoples’ Experience will be built at the park in addition to expanding the Johnny J Jones Midway and the Hotel Selkirk.

Bridge an ‘eyesore’ in Chinatown Redevelopment
Mayor says its removal not as simple as the city would like
Obviously, our voice has not been heard. Ratan Lawrence
Ryan Tumilty
Metro | Edmonton Residents and business in Chinatown told council Wednesday that removing the bridge across 97th Street would be the biggest economic boost the city could give the area. Ratan Lawrence, executive director of the Chinatown and Area Business Association, said the bridge — near the former Edmonton Remand Centre — blocks access from downtown. “It’s an eyesore,” she said. “Everyone is avoiding coming down to Chinatown using 97th Street. We need to clean that up; it’s a major safety issue.” City council received an update on a new proposed economic development strategy for the area Wednesday, but the discussion focused on the bridge as well as the future of

the Harbin Gate. The economic development strategy talks about dealing with the bridge but doesn’t set a specific timeline.
Lawrence said the area is plagued by graffiti, syringes and is often used as a bathroom. The city has removed the other former rail bridges at

109th Street, 105th Street and 101st Street, and Lawrence doesn’t understand why something similar hasn’t happened at the entrance to Chinatown.
“Obviously, our voice has not been heard,” she said. Mayor Don Iveson said removing the bridge isn’t as simple as the city would like
because the city doesn’t own the land. “It’s not a reason not to do, but it’s just something we can’t do unilaterally,” he said. Coun. Scott McKeen suggested the city could look at options for the bridge that would open it up without removing it and preserve an east-to-west path across 97th Street. The community also expressed concern about the future of the Harbin Gate, currently spanning 102nd Avenue at 97th Street, which will have to be relocated for LRT construction. Iveson said while there is some consensus on moving the gate to 97th Street near Jasper Avenue, the details are still being worked out. “That road is much wider than the road it currently sits on, which creates some structural and logistical challenges.”

Council to create new film office investment
Initial seed of $150K will spur industry, says mayor Ryan Tumilty

A new city body is set to push for more Edmonton faces to appear on small and big screens — a boost industry players say is needed to grow the film industry here. The new screen industries office and advisory council will take over the role that was played by the city’s film commissioner until last year, when the office became vacant. Eric Rebalkin, CEO of Mosaic Entertainment, said with film, digital, music and gaming businesses doing well in Edmonton there is an opportunity to bring those groups together
and the office will help make that happen. “We can find ways to work together to create awesome products. We can be the next Austin,” he said. He said as the new office goes forward the city will have to sure everyone is heard. “It has to be a consensus building exercise, making sure there is representation from all the creative industries.” Production manager Karen Redford, who is working on a feature film with Mosaic, told councillors the industry has to grow with small projects to keep homegrown talent in Edmonton. “It has the potential for growth, but it needs to be grown in a careful way,” she said. She said the business is there if Edmonton can go out and get it. “There is so much production
happening in Canada right now, it’s crazy.” Redford said right now local crews and technicians struggle with work and that makes it difficult for young talent to stay. “This is July and this is the first project they have worked on.” Mayor Don Iveson said it took too long for the city to put this office in place, but working with the whole industry has allowed it to see the bigger picture and not just focus on movies. “We have fumbled this for a little while, quite frankly, but that has created a really exciting opportunity,” he said. Iveson said the investment the city makes, currently pegged at a one-time offering of $150,000, will be worth it if it spurs the industry. “I am convinced that there are good returns on investment here.”

Shipping container housing project gets green light The site of a notorious former downtown hotel will soon be home to a shipping container housing development. City council approved the sale Wednesday of the former York Hotel site, in the Boyle Street area, to Engleman Construction Ltd.. The company hopes to create an 18-unit housing project there and the homes, along with commercial space on the site, will be all be made from shipping containers. Company owner Daniel Engleman said the rental units will be well designed and similar to the unit they exhibited in Churchill Square in May. He said they can also go up quickly, which will mean less of a construction disruption for residents. “We can bring them in, stack them up and have a beautiful structure that people can be proud of.” The city will be paid approximately $960,000 for the land, but will receive the money over time or will take the housing as payment.

A new Alberta study has demonstrated the effectiveness of HPV vaccines. torstar news service
HPV vaccine effective against cervical cancer health
‘It was what we hoped for’: Study co-author Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton An Alberta study has proven the effectiveness of the HPV vaccination in protecting against cervical cancer, according to doctors. Dr. Huiming Yang, who coauthored the study that was published this week in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, says it is the first in North America to demonstrate the vaccine’s effectiveness.
“It was what we hoped for, because the clinical trial data years ago basically showed similar results,” Yang said. “And now we basically have proof that this worked with a real population.” The study tested more than 10,200 women born between 1994 and 1997 who had at least one pap test between 2012 and 2015. It found the vaccination is “very effective” in reducing cervical cell abnormalities. Women who completed all three doses of the vaccine were 50 per cent less likely to develop hybrid lesions that have a higher potential to become cancerous later in life. “That’s a very significant finding,” Yang said. Alberta introduced a human

papilloma virus vaccination program for Grade 5 and Grade 9 girls in 2008, and expanded the program to boys in 2014. The vaccine protects against two strains of HPV that cause about 70 per cent of cervical cancers, as well as genital warts and some throat cancers. Yang said the study should serve as a reminder to the general public to encourage their
children to be vaccinated. He also cautions those who are vaccinated to remain vigilant, as other strains of HPV can still lead to cancer. He said regular pap tests are important for sexually active women age 25 and older. “Even for those who are vaccinated, when age appropriate, they should continue to have regular cancer screening,” he said. Meanwhile, anti-vaccine sentiment is still alive in Edmonton. The Princess Theatre came under fire from health professionals this week for screening anti-vaccine film Vaxxed directed by Andrew Wakefield, whose 1998 study claiming links between autism and vaccines has been thoroughly discredited.

Isis here to stay, says salon owner Niagara Falls
Some think business is linked to terror group People continue to flock to Isis, and its leader says it is here to stay and growing bigger. Don’t be alarmed. Not that ISIS. We mean Isis, a small body-sugaring and esthetics salon, in Fonthill, a community not far from Niagara Falls. The salon is named after the Egyptian goddess Isis, reflecting body sugaring’s roots as an ancient Egyptian hair-removal process. Its name predates the prominent moniker of the extremist group, also known to many as Daesh, by about 13 years. “Everybody knows me as Isis,” says Brigitte Boucher, owner of the salon. Boucher opened the busi-
ness 15 years ago in London, Ont. then moved it to its current location about three years ago. She specializes in natural body hair removal using homemade products. You can also get a manicure, pedicure, lash extensions and a facial. “There’s no beheading going on,” Boucher says. “There’s a lot of hair removal.” The name of the salon has raised a few eyebrows over the past few years. Boucher says she has noticed people taking photos of the storefront, which sports the company name. She also deals with the occasional caller phoning to inquire if the business is connected to Daesh (known as the Islamic State). This has prompted her to post a sign in the front window stating “We are not affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq Syrie (sic)” in capital letters. Boucher said she cried when she first learned the name of the radical Islamist group a few years ago. “I’ll watch the news every

Folklore says a bulb of garlic will repel a vampire, but a northwestern B.C. community believes the pungent vegetable is the answer to fighting a smaller, but equally blood-thirsty pest. The District of Taylor has approved a pilot project to apply an environmentally friendly but potent garlic solution to several areas around town in hopes of wiping out mosquitoes. The solution is 99 per cent garlic and Taylor councillors have been assured it can kill mosquito larvae while the leftover sulphers are undetectable by humans but deter adult mosquitoes for weeks. Several baseball diamonds in Taylor will be sprayed first, and the concoction will also be applied around the downtown core. Based on costs and results, Taylor council intends to expand the pilot project in 2017. Taylor joins a handful of Canadian communities, including Leduc, Alta., and Huntsville, Ont., in using garlic to eradicate pests, with Huntsville using the potion to control black flies in advance of the 2010 G8 meeting.

their wedding, so they waited until they came back to Canada to start planning. When they couldn’t find full-time work right away, they had to put everything on hold. “We were really dreaming of a beach wedding, but financially a beach wedding wasn’t in the question ... you enter contests and still don’t really think you have a chance,” Newell said. “Now, here we are in Canada, we have the friends and family, and we have our wedding. We’re set now.” The couple, who met on a hike at an outdoor adventure club, are currently making plans for their family to attend the ceremony, especially Newell’s five- and seven-yearold niece and nephew. “They’ve never been on a plane, have never been to a wedding, have never been on a beach,” Newell said. “They’re our ringbearer and flower girl. They’re thrilled.” Strachan said more than 150,000 Canadians travelled to the Bahamas last year, and his organization hopes to increase those numbers.

The simultaneous weddings at locations throughout the Bahamian islands are set for Nov. 16, at 4 p.m., local time.

Britain has assured Canada it will push for speedy ratification of the mammoth free trade deal with the European Union, despite its intention to leave the 28-country bloc, says International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland. Freeland said she has received assurances from her British counterpart, Lord Mark Price, and that he’s conveyed those same assurances to their EU counterpart, Cecilia Malmstrom. “We’ve proactively had assurances from Britain that Britain would be supporting the EU at that level, and is proud to do so,” Freeland said this week. Britain’s decision to leave the EU last month is one of many factors complicating the ratification of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, or CETA. Freeland said Britain has a lot of its plate, starting with selecting a new government later this year. Britain has yet to serve formal notice to the EU that it intends to leave, by invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which has never been done. That would trigger a two-year negotiation period.

Feds probe another police shooting Louisiana
Another black man shot, another investigation The U.S. Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation Wednesday into the videorecorded police killing of a black man who authorities say had a gun as he wrestled with two white officers on the pavement in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Alton Sterling, 37, was confronted by police and shot on Tuesday after an anonymous caller said he had threatened someone with a gun outside the store, where he was selling homemade CDs, authorities said. In a cellphone video taken by a community activist and posted online, the two officers pinned Sterling to the ground, someone yelled, “He’s got a gun! Gun!” and gunfire erupted moments later. At a news conference Wednesday, Baton Rouge Police Chief

Carl Dabadie Jr. said that Sterling was armed but that there are still questions about what happened. “Like you, there is a lot that we do not understand … I am demanding answers,” Dabadie said. The officers, identified by the chief as Blane Salamoni, a fouryear member of the department, and Howie Lake II, who has been on the force for three years, were placed on administrative leave, standard department procedure. Authorities would not say whether one or both fired their weapons or how many times. Gov. John Bel Edwards and the U.S. Justice Department an-
nounced the investigation by the department’s civil rights division. “I have very serious concerns. The video is disturbing, to say the least,” Edwards said. The shooting stirred anger in Baton Rouge, with hundreds protesting Tuesday night and demonstrations continuing Wednesday. Community leaders and Sterling’s family demanded a federal investigation. “Mr. Sterling was not reaching for a weapon. He looks like a man that was actually fighting for his life,” said state Rep. Edmond Jordan, an attorney for Sterling’s family. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dynamic Duo Clinton, Obama Campaign together Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton walks off of Air Force One with U.S. president Barack Obama on Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they made their first joint campaign appearance. The Clinton campaign hopes Obama can reassure voters about her experience, talent and character — and speak to their questions about her honesty and trustworthiness, some of which stem from the FBI’s email investigation.

Meet the new Iron-Not-a-Man Colin McNeil
Metro | Toronto A female Thor, a black Captain America, a Latino Spider-Man and now, Iron (formally) Man. Marvel Comics’ push for a
superhero roster that better represents their readers continues with the upcoming launch of Riri Williams — the new face of Iron Man. Williams, a 15-year-old MIT student, suits up in Invincible Iron Man No. 1, apparently with Tony Stark’s blessing. The girl
catches the attention of Stark after she reverse-engineers an Iron Man suit and builds her own version. So what happened to Tony? “We’re in the middle of a very big Tony Stark storyline,” said Invincible Iron Man author Brian Michael Bendis.

ON the sex harassment claims against Fox’s chairman
While it’s everyone’s “issue,” sexual harassment and assault are often only women’s problems. This is why Gretchen Carlson’s lawsuit is so powerful, and career-risking.
If journalists took the whole “people in glass houses” motto seriously, newspapers, websites, video reels and radio stations would be blank, empty, silent spaces. Papers that rail against unfair working conditions deny their own employees overtime pay. Outlets that decry white male workplaces are some of the white-est, male-est offices around. This industry, which gets paid to call bulls--t on everything and everyone it sees, is full of it. And of course it is. No job exists outside our culture. And our culture is full of it, too. So no woman in media (or elsewhere) was likely surprised when Gretchen Carlson, a former anchor for Fox News in the U.S., revealed a series of cases of careerrelated sexual harassment in a Huffington Post op-ed yesterday. But the article was a mere side-note to the real breaking news, which shocked the U.S. media world: a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Carlson against the media mogul and Fox chairman Roger Ailes. Of course, that a wealthy, powerful media baron would sexually harass his employees is in no way surprising. But it’s almost incredible that Carlson has outed him (allegedly) in such a public way. So often sexual assault
So often sexual assault cases in workplaces are handled quietly, if at all, especially when the accused is in charge.
Linda McQuaig
Torstar News Service
Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson has filed a lawsuit against the CEO and chairman of Fox News, Roger Ailes, for sexual harassment and retaliation. getty images
cases in workplaces are handled quietly, if at all, especially when the accused is in charge. And Ailes’ power probably can’t be understated, though the New York Times described him this way: “a towering figure in television and Republican politics who has overseen virtually every aspect of Fox News Channel over the cable network’s hugely successful two-decade run.” The quotes attributed to Ailes in the lawsuit are comically direct: “I think you
and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you’d be good and better and I’d be good and better,” Carlson alleges Ailes told her. It’s an amazingly succinct and stunningly blatant summation of what’s long been a more insinuated scenario for women in the media, or anywhere, really. When Carlson didn’t engage in such a relationship, she alleges, she was downgraded, and then let go. Just like she’d been warned.
Forget the bigots — there’s good reason to oppose trade deals
In her Huffington Post piece, Carlson urged readers to think of sexual harassment/assault as more than a “woman’s issue.” Since men are more commonly sexual aggressors, this is factually true. But while it’s everyone’s “issue,” sexual harassment and assault are often only women’s problems. This is why Carlson’s lawsuit is so powerful, and career-risking. It’s why she deserves kudos, and why workplaces won’t change without women who are willing to fight.
The decision of British voters to leave Europe has been treated as evidence that they’re intolerant xenophobes keen to seal themselves off from the world. That Donald Trump is on their side only helps make the case that they represent a boorish throwback, a desire to make the English-speaking world great again by turning it into a giant gated community surrounded by sky-high walls. Having such a collection of bigots and boors opposing “globalization” may turn out to be a boon for those promoting globalization — that is, the laws that govern the global economy. This is unfortunate, since these laws — and the international trade deals that enforce them — have delivered benefits almost exclusively to those at the top in recent years, and should be thoroughly overhauled. But with Neanderthal wall-builders lurking in the background, it may be easier for the Trudeau government to convince Canadians to accept these badly flawed and increasingly unpopular trade deals as part of living in an open, modern world. U.S. President Barack Obama helped make this case in his address to Parliament last week, urging us to resist “sealing ourselves off from the world,” as he derided opposition to foreigners and opposition to international trade deals with the same broad brush. There’s a litany of reasons why any sensible person would resist these trade deals.
But the most outrageous aspect of them has always been the special set of legal rights they bestow on foreign corporations and investors. These rights enable wealthy foreigners to sue governments over policies the foreigners don’t like, and to have their lawsuits decided by closed tribunals. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), rather than removing this indefensible, antidemocratic set of rights for wealthy foreigners, actually extends them. Indeed, the TPP could open a floodgate of new claims by wealthy foreigners, according to a powerful report by Osgoode Hall law professor Gus Van Harten. The report documents how corporations and wealthy investors have taken advantage of the bizarrely generous legal rights available to them under NAFTA, suing Canada 39 times and winning more than $190 million in compensation from Canadian taxpayers. There is no cap on how high the compensation can be, and the vast majority of it goes to the ultra-rich. Let’s not forget what it is these foreign interests are objecting to: laws passed by democratically elected governments to protect the public. For instance, Lone Pine Resources challenged fracking regulations in Canada; just last month, TransCanada sued the United States for $15 billion to compensate for Obama’s decision not to approve the Keystone pipeline. The Trudeau government will no doubt fill us with dark Brexit and Trumpian images to warm us up to the TPP. But not even revulsion for Donald Trump will provide enough lipstick to pretty up this pig.

‘It only takes a second’ home hazards Spooked by the recall of millions of IKEA dressers that pose a tip-over hazard if they’re not properly anchored, parents everywhere are taking a second look at their child-proofing chops. “People always say, ‘I only turned my back for a second,’” says Tracey Warren, director of Child Safe Canada. Her solution: Put more than a few seconds’ worth of obstacles between your little ones and danger. Here are five often-overlooked hazards you can find and minimize. genna buck/metro canada DOORS & WINDOWS
DRIVEWAY
Remind kids often that the driveway is a “drive zone,” never a “play zone.” Backing over children is tragically common. Warren said it has happened three times so far this season in Calgary, where she’s based. It’s best to back in and pull out. And exit the driveway with the windows down, so you can hear if someone’s trying to alert you that you’re about to make a fatal mistake.
Opening the doors and windows to catch a breeze might keep you cool, but it’s a hidden-in-plain-sight hazard to small children apt to wander out, Warren said. So keep the door closed and put an obstacle in front of it that will slow kids down — even something as simple as boots. Make sure your windows are secure too (but not permanently nailed shut: fire hazard), and don’t place furniture under them that kids can scramble up on.
WATER Kids under five have a natural, unquashable desire to explore and climb on everything. It’s not just pools and hot tubs: Toddlers have been known to topple into puddles, toilets, cleaning buckets and kitchen sinks full of dishwater, Warren said — so never leave standing water unattended.
18+ EVENT

FITNESS EQUIPMENT Kids can fly off a treadmill or get entangled in an elliptical. Don’t leave the key in the lock, and if there’s no way to secure the machine to prevent little fingers from mashing the “start” button, consider making the room it’s in off-limits. Better yet, do both. That’s what Warren calls “layers of safety.”

DRUGS & COSMETICS Warren suggests getting down to toddler-eye level and looking at your home the way your child sees it. What’s in their reach? Kids are attracted to makeup’s bright colours and easy-to-open packages, and they shouldn’t be eating it. Grandma visiting? Purses or suitcases carelessly tossed on the floor or bed could have medication inside. Again with the safety layers: Keep poisons, like cleaning products and drugs, in a locked cupboard that’s also up high.

Winters takes off in turbulent times interview
Author’s new novel wrestles with America’s race problem Sue Carter
For Metro Canada
As Ben H. Winters finished writing the final book in his awardwinning Last Policeman mystery trilogy in 2013, he was already anxiously thinking ahead to what his next project might be. Meanwhile, the Indiana writer was also feeling distressed over the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, in Florida, and the deaths of other young African Americans by police across the country. “It had become such a prevalent part of the national consciousness,” says Winters. “As an American citizen, it was impossible not to be thinking about it all the time and wondering how this could possibly be happening.” Winters knew he wanted to use a hybrid of mystery and science-fiction genres to examine institutional racism in the U.S., and so his new novel was born, Underground Airlines, where he imagines a dystopian world in which the American Civil War has never happened and slavery still exists in Hard Four states. The story follows Victor, an escaped slave turned bounty hunter looking for a runaway named Jackdaw, which leads to him becoming embroiled in a much larger conspiracy. “It continues to strike me that in America there is this very specific backstory that is connected to race-based slavery,” says Winters. “People like to think it happened long ago, like some kind of ancient phenomenon we put behind us, but in fact there are a million ways that the legacy of slavery forms contemporary racism.” In Underground Airlines, there are still Starbucks and CNN. Michael Jackson and Muhammad Ali remain stars (with revised biographies), and corporate greed and capitalism still reigns. But in Winters’ alternate history, James Brown is an escaped slave living in Canada, and Henry Kissinger is quoted as denouncing the United Nations. As a self-declared “history and legal-scholar nerd,” Winters spent a lot of time both researching and speculating how his premise would have played out internationally, and changed the

U.S.’s role on the world stage. He admits wrestling with the appropriateness of a white male author writing a race-relations story with an African American protagonist, but came to the conclusion that it’s important for artists like himself to draw attention to anti-black racism issues. “I’m very aware that there will be some questions about my mo-

tives and the appropriateness of the material, and the only way I can answer that is if when people read the book, they realize it’s not exploitative,” Winters says. “There is a long and complicated history of white artists appropriating black voices. The only answer to that was to be honest and to think about how I’m go-
on my country. America has so many great things about it, and we’ve come so far, but continuing to move forward requires us to better understand our history than we think we do,” says Winters. Sue Carter is the editor at Quill & Quire magazine.

OITNB’s Poussey riot

Twist a plea for prison reform THE SHOW: Orange is the New Black, S4, E12 (Netflix) THE MOMENT: The Time Machine

Actress Samira Wiley dishes on her role in Season 4 Richard Crouse
For Metro Canada SPOILER ALERT: This article contains Orange is the New Black Season 4 spoilers! Samira Wiley, who played fanfavourite Poussey Washington on the prison drama Orange is the New Black, wants you to know one thing, “Samira is alive!” Since her character’s shocking death near the end of the fourth season, fans have been leaving strange messages on social media for her. “I get a lot of comments on social media when I tweet some-
thing or I post a picture,” she says. “People are like, ‘I’m really happy you’re posting so I know you’re alive.’ Yes, I am. I haven’t gone anywhere.” The Juilliard-trained actress appeared in 50 episodes of the acclaimed Netflix series, bringing Poussey to vivid life. Dealing marijuana earned the character a stretch at Litchfield Penitentiary — “We all in here because we took a wrong turn going to church,” Poussey joked — where she was an outspoken and caring woman who stood by her convictions. “Poussey is really like an ideal person,” says Wiley. “I’ve said this before, she is such a great friend and a great person sometimes when I don’t know what to do or want to be better in a certain situation I think, ‘What would Poussey do?’ She had a great heart. A great moral centre and a great smile. She is someone that you look up to. “I feel so, so honoured and
privileged to give her life and to give people the strong feelings they have about her.” Based on Piper Kerman’s memoir about her experiences in a women’s prison, the series has been a commercial hit and critical success for its candid depictions of race, sexuality and gender. “I think the show in general has ushered in a new era of television,” says the actress, who will next be seen on the comedy series You’re the Worst. “Orange is the New Black shows you different kinds of women, different shapes of women, different backgrounds of people. The barriers are less and in some ways invisible because that is you, or your mom or your sister. I feel really proud to be part of the television show that started that. “With Season 4, I think we really amped it up a notch in terms of reflecting not only the people we see everyday but the
issues we deal with everyday, specifically Black Lives Matter. We’re showing some responsibility as artists, as creators of this television show, because we need to reflect what is going on in our time. That is our responsibility.” As Wiley’s former cast mates gear up to begin shooting season five of OITNB, she says she’s not up to date on the storyline. “I think it might be too difficult for me to binge,” she says. “I don’t anticipate it. After most seasons, especially the third season I definitely binge-watched immediately. I thought I would be able to do that this time but I have only watched about half this season.” She stopped before Poussey is accidentally suffocated during a demonstration in the prison cafeteria. “I haven’t watched it yet. In a way I feel like actually watching it will be me really saying goodbye and I am not ready for that yet. I can’t do that yet.”
Prison inmates Poussey (Samira Wiley) and Brook (Kimiko Glenn) dance without music inside a makeshift cardboard time machine. Their prison is in chaos, overcrowded and under new, nastier management. “This feels like the most normal thing I’ve done in a while,” Poussey says. “It feels like we’re in a horror movie,” Brook says. “The kind you used to watch on sleepovers,” Poussey adds, “where you have to run to your mom at the end, to hug you, tell you it was all made up.” “My mom wasn’t a big hugger,” Brook says. “My mom was,” Poussey says. (Alert: Major spoiler ahead.) Every now and then, the
theme and purpose of a series comes together in a plot point, and this is one of those times. OITNB is a long, heartfelt plea for prison reform, and this — Poussey’s last happy moment before dying in a chokehold — is an example of what showrunner Jenji Kohan is all about. This sweet girl, arrested for possession of half an ounce of marijuana, should not be in prison. There should be a better solution for her. But as Kohan seeds throughout this season, the system is designed only one way, to grind people down. It’s gutsy of Kohan to sacrifice a great character to make her greater point. So in the next episode, when prison manager Caputo (Nick Sandow) defends the guard who killed Poussey, it’s heinous, but also understandable. One promising life was wasted. He doesn’t want to waste another. It’s all so hugely sad.
This sweet girl, arrested for possession of half an ounce of marijuana, shouldn’t be in prison — but as showrunner Jenji Kohan points out, the system is designed to grind people down.

We give lots of thought to decorating rooms but often overlook the staircase, despite the fact that in many homes it’s the first thing people see when they walk in the door. Staircase areas can be “a great spot to introduce your personal style,” says Brian Patrick Flynn, who designed HGTV’s Dream Home 2016, the design network’s annual house giveaway. Here, Flynn and designer Roric Tobin of the New York design firm B&T Global share advice on creating an inviting, stylish staircase that blends with the rest of a home’s decor.
Assess the banister It doesn’t have to be expensive to replace a boring bannister with something snappier. “If it’s something historical that has beauty, there’s no sense in ripping it out,” Tobin says. But if it doesn’t serve the space, change it. Or consider painting or otherwise updating the banister. Showcase your favourites “Stairwells, often considered dead space, are ideal for showcasing collections,” says Flynn. “I prefer to mix different frames in a variety of
wood finishes and metals, and then throw in threedimensional objects as well to break up the rigid lines. “When all else fails, I say stick with black-and-white photos.” Embrace bold patterns and colour Tobin recommends using bold, large-scale print wall coverings to “really draw your eye up the staircase.” Homeowners often assume that small-print patterns will look best, he says, but they can be boring.
Blend style and function Runners and stair treads are another place to add colour or pattern. “Stairwell runners in masculine prints are becoming popular in all sorts of homes,” says Flynn. And they serve a practical purpose: Bare wood can look good but be noisy and slippery. Most of Tobin’s clients opt for stair runners or treads to eliminate noise. These are traditionally made of carpet, but Tobin suggests considering other materials. the associated press

Federer in way of Canadian’s first Grand Slam final Milos Raonic says he’s looking forward to getting another crack at Roger Federer, the Swiss tennis legend who sent him packing with a straight-sets win in the 2014 Wimbledon semifinals. Raonic believes he has grown as a player since his first Grand Slam semifinal, improving his all-round game and learning how to make adjustments when things aren’t going his way. How much the Canadian has improved will be made clear Friday, when Raonic takes on Federer, the seemingly ageless seven-time champion, in the Wimbledon semifinals for the second time in three years. “I look forward to it a lot,” Raonic said. “Two years have passed since I played him here in the semifinals so I’m happy that I have another shot at him. “I think from every aspect I’ve improved. I think I know what I need to do on court better, I know how to turn things around to get them on my terms. I know what I’m looking for, I know how to go about it to try to get to that position as much as I can and when things aren’t going well I know what things to change.” Raonic, 25, advanced to his third career Grand Slam semifinal, and second of the season,

Semifinals Cristiano Ronaldo upstaged Gareth Bale to propel Portugal into its second European Championship final, scoring a thumping header and then setting up Nani’s goal in a 2-0 win over Wales on Wednesday. The goals came in the space of three minutes early in the second half in Lyon, helping end Wales’ unlikely run to the semifinals in only its second ever major tournament.

The sixth seed from Thornhill, Ont., lost serve only once and registered 13 aces and 58 winners “Definitely a right step forward,” Raonic said. “It’s the best match I’ve played all the way through. Other than a span of three games everything was quite good. I had quite a few looks and I made the most of it.”

Raonic, who has added John McEnroe to his coaching team this year, had just 16 unforced errors against Querrey, compared to the 44 he had in his fourth-round win over David Goffin. It remains to be seen whether that will be enough against the third-seeded Federer, who has
a knack for playing his best tennis when it matters most. Federer was down two sets to Marin Cilic before rallying for a 6-7 (4), 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (9), 6-3 win. Experience alone favours Federer, who is looking for a record eighth Wimbledon title and is in the semifinals at the All England Club for the 11th time, equalling Jimmy Connors’ record.

Heartbreak a sure thing at track trials Olympic Qualifying
Canada’s deep team will be on display here in Edmonton
heritage-festival.com Hawrelak Park - Edmonton, AB
Canadian decathlete Damian Warner was recently scrolling through old photos on his computer from the 2012 London Olympics. There were pictures of himself, high jumper Derek Drouin, heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton and middle-distance runner Melissa Bishop. All so young at the time, their faces were the future of Canadian track and field. Four years later, they represent what’s expected to be Canada’s strongest Olympic track and field squad in decades. And their success makes for what’s sure to be a cut-throat and thrilling Olympic trials this week in Edmonton. “It’s awesome to share the journey with these guys,” Warner said of the teammates he’s grown up with. “Derek kind of started that back in 2012, winning the medal (Drouin’s bronze was Canada’s lone track and field medal in London). “And it’s just progressed, it’s kind of just building on top of each other, and I think everybody is just inspired by each other because the team is pretty close. (The team’s success) has made it easier on everybody, because once you see people having success, everybody wants that and everybody trains harder.” Canada won a record eight medals at last summer’s world championships in Beijing, including gold for Drouin and

silver for Warner, TheisenEaton and Bishop. Canada has set a conservative goal of two or three medals in Rio. But first the team has to be decided, and it won’t be easy. Heartbreak is a given. In arguably the deepest pool of Canadian track athletes ever assembled, 75 athletes have made Olympic qualifying standards. But Canada will only take a team of 60-65 to Rio, up from 42 athletes four years ago.
The top two finishers in Edmonton will automatically make the team, while a third athlete in each event will be a discretionary pick. Some events are jampacked. Led by world bronze medallist Andre De Grasse, six men have dipped below the 100-metre standard of 10.17 seconds. On the women’s side, six women have achieved the 100-metre hurdles standard, along with five in the 1,500 metres, 400 metres and 3,000-metre steeplechase. “I think you’re going to see one of the best Olympic trials in history and I look forward to all the performances here,” said Athletics Canada’s head coach Peter Eriksson.
