Park naming ‘a legacy thing’ PURCELLS COVE

Developer wants rights for proposed wilderness area Haley Ryan

Metro | Halifax A Purcells Cove backlands park could move a step closer to reality this week, and the current landowner wants primary naming rights for whatever it becomes. Staff are recommending regional council proceed with negotiations to buy 379 acres around Williams and Colpitts Lakes from The Shaw Group, and then return to council for “consideration of key terms” of the wilderness park proposal with Shaw and the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). “We’re hoping that something like this can be seen as a real developmental building block in this pretty cool city,” Craig Smith, Nova Scotia program director with NCC, said Monday. The proposal states 170 acres would be conveyed to HRM by deed, and 209 acres would come via a 99-year

lease with the NCC. Staff did raise two challenges to work out: the first on implementing the lands’ Category 2 designation to ensure public use or municipal purpose; and the condition that Shaw “has primary naming rights for the lands with NCC having cobranding rights.” The report said council wouldn’t be able to consider that point without changing the administrative order that outlines the naming rights process for HRM assets, or completing a public call for submissions. Allan Shaw, chairman of The Shaw Group, said Monday there’s no details yet on what a future park name could be, but asking for primary rights is important as “a legacy thing.” Smith said he has no issues with Shaw having naming rights since they’ve demonstrated “a high degree of civic-mindedness” by backing off development of the site when a sewer and water study didn’t happen, and residents called for protection of the area. There will be a “significant” funding contribution made by Shaw for the proposed park, Smith said, which would “earn” those naming rights.

Metro talks to Miranda Cain about big issues in her riding Zane Woodford

Metro | Halifax Miranda Cain works with kids in North Preston, having founded the North Preston’s Future group. Her main issue in the district heading into this election is simple. “It’s lack of recreation in the

community,” she said in an interview. “Kids from 12 to 18 have absolutely nothing in the community to do whatsoever. That stems into the violence, that stems into the workforce. There’s lack of training, there’s lack of employment within the community itself.” She wants to see a consistency throughout the district, meaning that the same programs offered for kids in Lake Echo are offered for kids in North Preston. Cain believes the ongoing fight for residents in North and East Preston to claim their land titles should be a major campaign issue as well. She said many people in the district feel they’re paying

their taxes to the municipality, and getting nothing in return. Most of all, Cain wants someone at City Hall that will speak up for the people in the district. “I want someone to stand up for the community and create

We need to enhance to improve ourselves for our future.” Further east in the district, there are a few other issues related to land. People on the Eastern Shore have been fighting for more than a year to stop a controversial construction debris dump from becoming a reality, and elsewhere, development rules have left some landowners questioning the fairness of the municipality’s bylaws. There are four candidates running a marathon campaign in the monstrous Preston — Chezzetcook — Eastern Shore district.

Vandals let llama, sheep out of maze

At first sight of Jim Lorraine, Merle went running to him. The brown llama put his head on Lorraine’s shoulder. He was shaking. “I just thought they had escaped. Animals sometimes escape,” said Lorraine. But no, that wasn’t the case when Lorraine took Merle and two sheep — Jolene and Myla — back to RiverBreeze CornMaze Sunday morning. It was almost daybreak Sunday when Lorraine’s sister called to tell him Merle, Jolene and Myla were loose on the road. He managed to get

them back to the corn maze without issue. “We have nine goats, a calf, the two sheep and the llama… they were all out everywhere. I tried to get them all into one pen, but because the fences had been knocked down they kept getting back out.” He finally secured the animals and that’s when he really looked around. There, Lorraine found damage to the property: fences broken down — including all the animal pens letting them run loose — gates opened, signs destroyed, pumpkins smashed, tables flipped and straw bales cut and strewn around the property. Because the animals weren’t on the corn maze property, Lorraine believes the culprits — he said three sets of footprints were found — scared them out to the road. The Colchester RCMP is currently investigating the incident and anyone with information is asked to call 902893-6820. TC Media

In a joint media release, Halifax Regional Police and Halifax District RCMP said crime is down over one per cent when comparing the second quarter of 2016 to the same period in 2015. Violent crime is down almost eight per cent, with assaults decreased by 5.6 per cent

and robberies down 36.36 per cent. Homicides, however, were up 200 per cent and incidents of attempted murder increased 16.67 per cent.

halifax Votes 2016

Mayoral candidates agree to forego lawn signs The candidates for Halifax’s highest municipal office have agreed to ditch lawn signs as a way of sending a message that political campaigns shouldn’t produce unnecessary waste. Mayor Mike Savage and his only opponent, Lil MacPherson, issued a joint news release Monday saying they’ve agreed to forego the traditional lawn signs in favour of other means of advertising ahead of next month’s vote. The two candidates say they believe it’s the first time in Canada that lawn signs will not be used in a contested mayoral race. MacPherson, a climate change activist and owner of the Wooden Monkey restaurant, says she was

approached by Savage and didn’t feel she could refuse. “It’s a hard choice for me because … everyone knows Mike and everyone knows me in the city as an environmentalist,” she said. “I’m glad that’s he’s starting to think green, so it’s hard for me to say ‘no’.” Andrew Biro, a professor of politics at Acadia University, says that the gesture is a rare one that has symbolic value but he is reserving judgment on whether it means municipal politics is generally becoming more sensitive to environmental issues.

We have thousands of places that will take a sign and we’re not putting them up. Mayor Mike Savage

It could reflect a view that signs are less effective in campaigns, he says. “A lot more election campaigning happens online than in the past. Candidates reach voters through social media lists more than they do having signs out in the public,” said Biro. Biro said Savage may possibly benefit more strategically because he already has strong name recognition. “Name recognition is important and you often get people voting on that basis,” he said. “His opponent’s name won’t be out there in the public realm as much as it might otherwise be.” On the other hand, Biro says that MacPherson — who was already the candidate with a strong following among environmentalists — has boosted her credibility by agreeing to the idea. “If it raises environmental issues in this campaign, that might play to her advantage,” he said.

Supreme Court

Lawyers challenge changes to appointments

halifaxfolklorecentre.ca halifaxfolklorecentre.ca

A group that represents trial lawyers in Atlantic Canada is taking Ottawa to court in a bid to ensure the East Coast keeps its traditional seat on the Supreme Court of Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said regional representation among the judges is important, but he won’t commit to ensuring the country’s

top court has a judge from Atlantic Canada as he seeks other kinds of diversity. The Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association said Monday it is seeking an order from the Nova Scotia Supreme Court that would require the federal government to amend the Constitution if it wants to drop regional representation as con-

stitutional convention. Such a change would require unanimous consent of the provinces, the association said. Justice Thomas Cromwell from Nova Scotia has retired from the bench, but Trudeau appears to be departing from the convention of automatically filling that place with another judge from the region.

The next appointee will not necessarily come from Atlantic Canada, the association said, citing comments made by Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould on Aug. 11. The Canadian Bar Association has already urged Trudeau to respect the regional appointment custom. The Canadian Press

Major water headaches ahead BY THE NUMBERS Lake Major water levels

Levels at Lake Major are at an historic low, which forced Halifax Water to impose mandatory water restrictions on Monday. Measurements taken on Sept. 17 show the lake elevation at 18.45 metres. On that same date in 2015, it was 19.25 metres. In 2014, it was at 18.85 metres, and in 2013 at 19.15 metres.

Water levels in the lake are so low a small tree has taken root in a part of the Lake Ma2016 jor dam. It’s located on the 18.45M bottom of a river that is now dry. “We’ve never had this happen before,” James Campbell, Halifax Water’s communica-

tions and public relations coordinator, said in an interview. “It has been an extremely dry summer right across the province as I guess our friends in south western Nova Scotia can certainly attest, and we are not unaffected here as well.” Until further notice, residents and businesses supplied by the Lake Major water treatment plant must undertake water conservation measures that include no watering of lawns or gardens, no filling up swimming pools or washing vehicles. Commercial car washes do remain available for the moment. The mandatory restrictions

Campbell said the lake level around the dam is about three feet lower than normal. “I heard reports that areas of Nova Scotia are down by about 150 mm is what they would require to bring it back up to sufficient levels for wells, so we would be in that neighbourhood,” he said in an interview. “It could be a little more, a little less. Lake Major is critically low, but we’re not in a situation where we’re going to imminently run out of water. But we’re looking for folks to not use water unnecessarily.” Campbell said while all Halifax Water’s supplies are currently low, only Lake Major is considered low enough to warrant the mandatory restrictions. “We don’t anticipate (any more mandatory restrictions) at this time, but we can’t predict or control the weather — yet,” he said.

Ace chase fever taking hold

Parish secretary Diane Sparkes just wants someone to catch the God-forsaken ace. “Never again,” Sparkes said Monday of her parish’s Chase the Ace fundraiser. “I never thought this would happen.” Sparkes has been handling the cards since the fundraiser started early last October at the Assumption Roman Catholic parish in Bay de Verde, N.L., a fishing community on the Avalon Peninsula.

It is one of three small Atlantic towns now in the grips of hugely successful games that have come down to a few cards and big winnings. All three expect crowds to descend over the next week as jackpots in two Newfoundland draws are expected to top $500,000. Another on Thursday in Dalhousie, N.B. to raise cash for recreation programs and the Rotary Club has just six cards left and an estimated

jackpot of $1.2 million. Chase the Ace fundraisers have soared in popularity on the East Coast since 2013. An elusive ace of spades means a growing pool of winnings — and a weekly influx of thousands that can be difficult to usher in and out of rural towns. “We have people that actually come the night before in motor homes and are parked in Bay de Verde,” said Sparkes. the canadian press

Inquiries

Canada to boost funds for migrants and refugees globally The grim shadow of world events descended over a conference on refugees on Monday as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other world leaders gathered to make new commitments to victims of a historic migration crisis. News crept in from nearby and abroad to underscore the oft-stated point at the summit that work on refugees remains a task in progress. As the prime minister spoke, word filtered out about bombing ending Syria’s ceasefire. While the war made new victims, the debate closer to the New York conference revolved around whether to show them any hospitality. A series of attempted bombings in the city

At least 13 countries have made inquiries about Canada’s private refugeesponsoring system in the hope of potentially emulating it, immigration minister John McCallum said during a conference on the migration crisis.

added new fuel to a combustible U.S. election debate on Muslim migration. Trudeau got applause from delegates to the United Nations conference when he mentioned Canada’s acceptance of almost 31,000 refugees. A CNN anchor moderating another event quoted Trudeau welcoming refugees at the airport. He didn’t let the applause linger long.

“While that is a great story, I don’t want to lose sight of the fact that Canada’s engagement must not stop at resettlement,” Trudeau said. “Now is the time for each of us to consider what more we can contribute. So, in Canada, we’re looking at our options.” He announced Canada would spend an additional $64.5 million over the next several years

to support people affected by humanitarian crises around the world, and increase its foreignaid budget by 10 per cent to help displaced children get back to school. The challenge was illustrated by the woman seated beside him. In Jordan, the unofficial population count is now almost 10 per cent Syrian refugees: “Will we leave refugees to languish in camps ... and slums?” said Queen Rania, who co-chaired one of the discussion sessions with Trudeau.

Report urges overhaul of foreign worker program Luke Simcoe

Metro | Toronto A parliamentary committee is recommending a series of sweeping changes to Canada’s temporary foreign worker program. The program, which allows employers to hire foreign nationals to fill temporary labour shortages, came under scrutiny in 2013 when the CBC reported a number of companies — ranging from Royal Bank to McDonald’s —

were relying on foreign labour rather than hiring Canadians. In response to the backlash, the federal government clamped down on the TFW program, limiting the number of foreign workers a company can hire and increasing oversight to prevent workers from being abused. The restrictions led to a sharp decline in the number of temporary foreign workers entering Canada. “We went from one end of the spectrum, where everyone was let in, to the other end of the spectrum where hardly

anybody was let in,” Immigration Minister John McCallum said in August. Now, a parliamentary committee is recommending relaxing the rules imposed on the TFW program by the previous Conservative government. The report, released Monday, suggests raising the cap on the number of foreign workers a business can employ from 10 per cent to 20 per cent. It also recommends restructuring the program to accommodate the needs of different businesses.

However, the same report calls on the government to better channel foreign workers into permanent residency. It also notes “migrant workers continue to suffer from labour standards violations at the hands of their recruiters and employers.” The Coalition for Migrant Worker Rights Canada praised the government for acknowledging the TFW program needs reform, but called the report “vague.” The group called for legislation making it easier for foreign workers to become residents.

First legal battle over Phoenix pay system Haley Ritchie

Metro | Ottawa Former public servant Darrel Delisle is the first person to sue the federal government over the troubled Phoenix pay system, which has left thousands of people waiting for their paycheques. Delisle filed his case in small claims court on July 14. In the documents filed as part of the lawsuit, Delisle explains he was a casual contractor for Global Affairs starting in March 2016. After three months of not being paid, Delisle quit prematurely to find paying work. In total he is asking for $24,000 — which includes his $11,400 owed pay, as well as remuneration for child-care expenses, vehicle parking and jobs he turned down while employed but not paid. “I am now experiencing financial hardship and personal difficulties due to non payment,” Delisle says in the document. “My request for damages also includes the real possibility that this will have a negative effect on future employment opportunities with

Suspect captured in gun battle New York

Ahmad Khan Rahami arrested in connection with bombings A New Jersey police officer responding to a call about a hoodied vagrant curled up asleep in a bar doorway roused him and quickly recognized the bearded face of perhaps the most wanted man in America. Ahmad Khan Rahami — identified in an FBI bulletin just hours earlier as a man wanted in the weekend bombings in New York City and New Jersey — pulled a gun, shot the officer and triggered a running gun battle in the street that ended with Rahami wounded and in custody Monday, authorities said. A bloodied Rahami was loaded into the back of an ambulance, just 50 hours after the first blast that started it all. Rahami, 28, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Afghanistan who lived with his Muslim family in Elizabeth, New Jersey, underwent surgery for a gunshot wound to the leg as authorities began drawing up

charges in a case that spread fear across the New York area and revived anxiety about homegrown terrorism. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said officials have every reason to believe the series of bombings “was an act of terror,” though investigators said Rahami’s exact motive isn’t yet clear.

With Rahami’s arrest, officials said they have no indication there are more bombs or suspects to find, though they cautioned that they are still investigating. The probe started when a pipe bomb blew up Saturday morning in Seaside Park, New Jersey, before a charity race to

benefit Marines. No one was injured. Then a shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bomb similar to those used in the Boston Marathon attack exploded Saturday night in New York’s Chelsea section, wounding 29 people. An unexploded pressure-cooker bomb was found blocks away.

Late Sunday night, five explosive devices were discovered in a trash can at an Elizabeth train station. Investigators said they are still gathering evidence and have not publicly tied Rahami to those devices. Late Monday, a hospitalized Rahami was charged in New Jersey with five counts of attempted murder of police officers in connection with the shootout and was held on $5.2 million bail. Federal prosecutors said they were still weighing charges over the bombings. Rahami lived with his family above their fried-chicken restaurant in Elizabeth, and his relatives have clashed with the city over closing times and noise complaints they said were tinged with anti-Muslim sentiment. Authorities zeroed in on him as the potential bomber after a fingerprint and DNA lifted from one of the New York sites and “clear as day” surveillance video from the bombing scene helped identify him, according to three law enforcement who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

U.K. pensioners pushing Canada foreign pensions

Brexit talks offer hope to fix frozen payments Anne Puckridge has two medals, earned during her service to Britain in the Second World War. The 91-year-old jokes that she is still fighting — except now it is against the British government. Puckridge is one of about 150,000 British retirees who don’t receive annual increases in their U.K. pension payments because they live in Canada. Successive British governments have refused to index their pensions to keep pace with the cost of living, despite decades of diplomatic overtures from Canadian officials. “I served my country, all of us, all of us frozen pensioners paid our National Insurance contributions every week on exactly the same term as everyone, and we consider it theft,” Puckridge said from her Calgary home. “The government accepted our money for all those years and rather suddenly, reneged on paying out.” Now those pensioners see a glimmer of hope with Brexit. As Britain negotiates its departure from the European Union, it will have to decide how to deal with the approximately 400,000 U.K. pensioners living in Europe who have received annual increases in their pensions. If the British government decides to upgrade those U.K. pensioners in Europe, it would give those frozen pensioners in Canada and elsewhere a strong argument to

pressure the British government to give them annual increases, too. Those details will likely be sorted out during exit negotiations with the EU. After that, Britain has signalled its intent to negotiate a free-trade deal with Canada.

Pension reforms

Feds see economy slowing The federal government expects the proposed expansion of the Canada Pension Plan to curb economic and employment growth slightly in the short term before boosting both of them in the long run. Ottawa reached a tentative agreement with provincial governments in June to eventually increase contributions and retirement benefits through the public plan. New data released by the Finance Department says CPP changes will have a temporary impact on jobs — lowering current employment-growth projections by up to 0.07 per cent between now and 2025. The government says the pension changes will trim the forecast for real gross domestic product growth by up to 0.05 per cent over the short term. But beyond the year 2025, the government predicts the pension changes will result in increased GDP growth of up to 0.09 per cent and a 0.06 per cent increase in employment. THE CANADIAN PRESS

What should be Canada’s next top bird? Rosemary Westwood metro poll

Canada doesn’t have an official national bird. No, we can’t believe it either. In a bid to set things right, Canadian Geographic has created the National Bird Project, which will designate our best feathered friend by 2017. After a preliminary vote, five finalists will now be considered by a flock of experts. We asked our readers to tell us their favourite of the five. Who knows — maybe these tallies will help goose the final results. visit metronews.ca

Our responsibility: to be informed complainers halifax Votes 2016 Halifax matters

Stephen Kimber

Why do we pay so little attention to the simplest — yet most important — opportunity to influence what happens in our everyday lives: voting in municipal elections? In 2012, only 36.9 per cent of us — barely onethird of those eligible — cast ballots to choose our current mayor and councillors. The irony is we appear to care deeply about what actually goes on in our communities between elections. We complain — often to the councillors we never bothered to vote for or against — about our street’s

too-slow snow-plowing, our neighbours’ too-late partying, the too-high highrise rising next door. Whether we think all those hideous highrises popping up all over the place need to be squashed now, or that too much tree-hugger, heritage red tape is blocking needed economic progress, the reality is those key decisions are made by people we didn’t bother to choose. Our next council will decide how to transform land-use bylaws drafted back in the 1970s into a goforward strategy to develop peninsular Halifax and Dartmouth for at least the next 20 years. Councillors will decide whether — and how — to create that huge public park within the city to allow residents “to leave urban life behind and be

immersed in natural forest, lakes, streams and bogs within a stone’s throw of the city.” Not to forget commuter rail, municipal taxes, environmental sustainability, campaign finance reform, immigration… We care about all those issues — check out Twitter or Facebook — so why don’t we vote? Consider this. In a 2014 survey, residents were asked, “What, if anything, would encourage you to vote?” The two most frequent responses: “knowing the candidates” and “knowing the issues and platforms.” That’s a damning — and legitimate — indictment of those of us in local media. We don’t pay nearly enough attention to what’s going on

in our own backyards, even at election time. Which is why Metro Halifax has decided, in the leadup to this year’s municipal election, to focus on helping us know the candidates, understand the issues, make informed choices and then consider some tougher questions: why were incumbents acclaimed in one-quarter of the districts; should there be term limits; why are there so few women and minority candidates? Because it is, after all, 2016. Time to pay attention. All of us. Stephen Kimber is a professor of journalism at the University of King’s College in Halifax and an award-winning writer, editor and broadcaster. Halifax Matters runs every Tuesday.

I hate that I have to say ‘I told you so’ about judges who don’t get it A seasoned columnist once told me you know you’re losing your relevance when you start quoting yourself. But this is really too good to pass up. Two weeks ago, in the wake of Robin Camp — our poster boy for judges who don’t know the law, let alone exude gender sensitivity in applying it — I wondered who else? What other sexist idiocy is hiding inside a judge’s robes? It was the obvious question, and some good journalists asked it. And now we have a slew of answers. There is Alberta Provincial Court Justice Michael Savaryn, who is under review after ruling that a teenage boy didn’t sexually assault a teenage girl. The boy grabbed her breast and backside and tried to kiss her, and she said no, but the judge decided she hadn’t clearly expressed her objections because, you know, she smiled. Then another Alberta judge — Pat McIlhargey — acquitted a 16-year-old boy of raping a 13-year-old girl because “she did not scream, she did not run for help” and she didn’t tell her friend. And finally, hitting the headlines last week was Alberta Justice Keith Yamauchi, who in 2013 ruled that three women’s complaints of historical sexual assault weren’t credible because they didn’t come forward sooner — logic that defies actual Supreme Court guidance and the fact that there is no statute of limitations in Canada on sexual

assault. Really, these cases are piling up like some kind of awful nursery rhyme and exhibit thinking just as antiquated: “One bad judgment, two bad judgments, three bad judgments, four. Unless you’re a men’s rights activist, you know there must be more.” Let’s also keep in mind these other facts. Two unifying factors in all these cases are A: male judges and B: male judges relying not just on so-called common sense but on sexist common sense. It’s the problem with assuming that, just by living, you have a good sense of what credible behaviour looks like in others, even if you have no clue as to what it’s like to be them, or be raped, for example. In case you’re tempted to think Alberta is some kind of outlier, you might like to know that Crown attorneys in Ontario, as part of the province’s It’s Never Okay action plan to stop sexual violence, received training on rape culture in the courtroom this year. And in case you forgot the upshot of all this: Sexism in our justice system not only discriminates against women, it lets sexual predators off the hook. Thus, we have a system that serves them, and of course, judges, who face little scrutiny and highly secretive reviews. That is, when they face any at all. Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

LOVE YOUR LIVER KNOW YOUR PAINKILLERS

Do you come home from a night on the town, guzzle a glass of water with two extra-strength Tylenol to ward off a hangover? You’re not doing your liver any favours. Overdose of acetaminophen, Tylenol’s active ingredient, is a top cause of liver injury according to Dr. Constantine Karvellas from the University of Alberta Hospital. It doesn’t take much, and adding alcohol can be deadly. Health Canada has just moved to make manufacturers label acetaminophen more clearly, but there’s still copious confusion about common drugstore painkillers, their uses and risks. Here’s what you need to know. genna buck/torstar news service

ACETAMINOPHEN

IBUPROFEN

ASPIRIN

NAPROXEN

ALTERNATIVES

A.K.A.: Tylenol, Atasol, Midol, Pamprin, Robax, Paracetamol; hundreds of cold and sinus remedies and cough syrups. Used for: Pain, fever Who shouldn’t take it? Heavy drinkers (more than three drinks a day) and people who’ve messed up their livers with acetaminophen before. Steer clear if you’re near the maximum daily dose — and don’t forget to add up all the sources of acetaminophen. Some experts want the daily limit lowered from 4000 mg, or eight extra-strength tablets, to 3000 mg. Liver damage can even happen below the cut-off if the person is drinking heavily or taking the medicine for a long time.

A.K.A.: Advil, Motrin; many cough, cold and pain remedies Used for: Pain, inflammation, fever Who shouldn’t take it? Pregnant women (especially if they’re 30 weeks along or more); people at high risk of bleeding disorders such as blood clots, bleeding in the lining of the stomach, heart attack or stroke.

A.K.A.: Acetylsalicylic acid, ASA Used for: Pain and fever; also prescribed to reduce risk of blood clots, heart attack and stroke Who shouldn’t take it? Children younger than 12, pregnant women in the third trimester and anyone prone to bleeding or stomach ulcers.

A.K.A.: Aleve Used for: Pain, muscle and back aches, arthritis Who shouldn’t take it? Pregnant women in the third trimester and people with bleeding disorders or inflammatory bowel disease.

You don’t always have to pop a pill to relieve pain. Often an ice pack, heating pad or hot water bottle can do the trick. Peer-reviewed studies also show relaxation, meditation and mindfulness techniques can help relieve pain temporarily.

Ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen all work in a similar way. They belong to a class of drugs called NSAIDs. You shouldn’t take any of them if you’re severely dehydrated, such as during a bad stomach bug. That can damage the kidneys. And drinking alcohol — especially a lot of it — while taking NSAIDs increases the risk of bleeding in the lining of the stomach and intestines.

DOUBLING UP

It’s OK to take acetaminophen with another painkiller, but doctors advise not to mix aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or other NSAIDs with one another — the chance of serious side effects increases, Health Canada says.

How the Emmys helped further polarize U.S. politics THE SHOW: The Emmy Awards (CTV/ABC) THE MOMENT: The political wall

Coming back from a commercial, an announcement: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. Bill Cosby.” Awkward silence fills the room. Host Jimmy Kimmel strolls on stage. “He’s not here,” he says. “I just wanted to see what you would do.” Diversity may have been proclaimed the theme of the night. (“The only thing we value more than diversity is congratulating ourselves on how diverse we are,” Kimmel said in his opening.) The winners were certainly a mixed bunch: lesbians (Sarah Paulson, Kate McKinnon, Jill Soloway); black actors (Regina King, Sterling K. Brown, Courtney B.

and Bloodline to Key & Peele and Grease Live! Politically, however, there was zero diversity: In that theatre, it was hard left or nothing. I’m a proud Democrat, but as the Trump jokes wore on, I began to wonder how all this was playing in the red states. Did the open scorn stiffen Trump supporters’ resolve? Did the pleas for colour- and gender-blind casting start to feel like scolding? Don’t get me wrong, when Soloway chanted, “Topple the patriarchy!” I was cheering along. But to answer Kimmel’s question about what “we” would do? The answer seems to be, make that wall between Democrat and Republican a bit higher.

TV BRIEF

Damon Wayans.

the canadian press

Damon Wayans unveils Lethal Weapon TV series Damon Wayans is direct when asked why there seems to be such a proliferation of movie-based television series invading the small screen. “They’re trying to make money, that’s it,” says Wayans. That slightly cynical but honest answer is to be expected from the former standup comic who created the groundbreaking In Living Color with his brother Keenen. “It’s hard to get attention these days when you’re launching a new show. So producers want titles that people are familiar with.” That would include

Wayans’ latest venture, Lethal Weapon, a TV remake of the violent but hugely successful global franchise that paired Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as out-of-sync detectives. “They say, ‘Well, who’s in it?’ And then they go, ‘Damon Wayans, I’ve seen him before. Let’s give it a chance.’ It’s a lot easier than trying to launch something new.” “With the movie being made into a TV series, that certainly gets your attention, but it still has to be good or no one is going to watch it,” says Wayans.

Pestering life out of USA World Cup of Hockey

Marchand, Canada have chance to stick it to archrivals Brad Marchand is in a hockey spotlight like never before in his career, and it’s a perfect example of Team Canada’s “improve every day” catch phrase for this World Cup. That phrase is also the main focus of the team heading into what is a do-or-die game for Tuesday night’s opponent, Team USA. For Marchand, a career-high 37 goals with Boston last season and the tremendous job he’s doing with Bruins teammate Patrice Bergeron on Canada’s top line with Sidney Crosby reflect the growth that has been key to Canada’s performance in this tournament so far. “He’s never been fun to play against,” Canadian defenceman Jay Bouwmeester said of Marchand, as Canada wrapped up Monday’s practice. “Number one, he’s just a good player. He may have a reputation of getting under your skin, a (pest), but people then look past how good he is.” Bergeron still has the innate ability to stir things up, especially around the opposition goal, but he’s also considered an elite-level player now. The rest of the hockey world is seeing what Bruins fans have known for several years: Marchand has always combined skill and grit. He’s just getting better at it. The Nova Scotia native had four 20-

goal seasons before last year’s breakout. Now, at the World Cup, he’s averaging over 14 minutes of ice time through three exhibition games and the tournament opener. That’s over three minutes shy of his career high of 18:36 last season, but he’s also playing with the best players in the world and specifically, Sidney Crosby, whose linemates were a question mark entering the tournament. Coach Mike Babcock saw the

potential for chemistry among Marchand, Bergeron and Crosby — after Marchand and Crosby skated together over the summer, and Bruins teammate Bergeron had a career high in points last season. “I think we enjoy being in the offensive zone. We both like to control the puck down low and support each other,” Marchand said of playing with Crosby. “He’s easy to play with.” The pair combined for six points in the 6-0 opening win over the Czech Republic. The key to World Cup success is steady improvement through the tournament. Canada’s topline chemistry is what the Canadian coaching staff wants to see continue. That involves players buying

into unfamiliar roles and putting aside the star status they’re used to in the NHL. It’s something Marchand understands heading into one of the most-anticipated matchups of the tournament, with Team USA badly needing a win.

Zdeno Chara and Mats Zuccarello scored in regulation for Europe. Jakub Voracek and Martin Hanzal responded for the Czech Republic. North America and Russia were to square off Monday night. The Canadian Press

“I don’t think it’s our goal,” Marchand said of potential knocking Canada’s rival out of contention. “We’re more concerned about how we play. We both want to win, so we’ll see how well each team is prepared to play.” Torstar News Service
