McDonald’s urged to apologize LGBTQ group calls reported firing of trans teen ‘backwards’ Haley Ryan

Metro | Halifax A local LGBTQ group says the McDonald’s corporation should apologize to protect its “reputa-

tion worldwide” after a trans teen says he was let go from the company over media attention. Kenny Cooley, 17, spoke to Metro about being the first trans football player on his high school’s football team last week. He later made headlines in both national and international news outlets. During an interview on Wednesday, Cooley said he was fired from the Bedford Highway location of McDonald’s two days after the story initially ran. Cooley said he was given two

reasons for dismissal, “one because of the media, and two because we had some schedule mishaps.” The Youth Project is now calling on McDonald’s to reinstate Cooley and issue an apology. Kate Shewan, executive director of the Youth Project, said she knows the company has individual franchise owners, but it’s important for the corporation to say “this is not great, it will affect our reputation worldwide.” In addition, Shewan says Mc-

Donald’s should update their policies on gender identity and sexual orientation to make sure “they’re much more inclusive and respectful of everybody.” “Youth are constantly telling us that they’re denied employment opportunities because they’re trans — we hear it happening all the time,” Shewan said Thursday. A McDonald’s spokesperson did not confirm Cooley had been let go but forwarded an emailed statement from the branch owner, Bob Smith, on

Wednesday. Smith said he was “shocked by these allegations as they are simply not true.” Two other emails by Metro to McDonald’s on Thursday asking for further response, and whether an apology would be made to Cooley, weren’t returned. Since the media attention around Cooley included positive, good-news stories about his success, Shewan said that’s something they’d “expect an employer to really be celebrating.” “To have that being brought

up as part of a termination seems just completely backwards,” Shewan said. “The very fact that it was brought up — when it’s such a positive story and they’re treating it as a negative — the only thing that I could see that being is transphobia.” When Metro went to the Bedford location again Thursday, an employee said they would pass along a request to see the store manager, and the right person would call back. There was no response before deadline.

THINGS TO DO IN HALIFAX THIS WEEKEND

Zombies, craft markets and metal musicians, oh my! HALEY RYAN METRO Potted Potter

Fans of Harry Potter, comedy, or both, can take in the Potted Potter parody show at the Rebecca Cohn. As part of the Canadian tour for the U.K. show, the so-called “unauthorized Harry experience” has shows scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday. All seven books in the Harry Potter series are crammed into a 70-minute performance, including a live game of Quidditch. According to the show’s website, “Potted Potter is perfect for ages six to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed).”

Headbangers Against Homelessness The second Headbangers Against Homelessness show is a chance for Haligonians to rock out while supporting people in need. Metalheads can stop by the Oasis pub on Spring Garden road on Saturday night. For $7 at the door or $5 in advance, folks can see a show including three local bands: Dirt Stache, Only Vultures Left and Tri City Villains. Proceeds go to Shelter Nova Scotia.

Etsy Made in Canada Halifax Locally-made goods will be on display at the Maritime Hall this weekend for the Etsy Made in Canada Halifax market. The event is organized by volunteers, the Maritime Makers, and local sellers on the website Etsy. It took place at the Garrison Grounds in 2015. According to the Maritime Makers website, more than 15,000 people attended last year. Shoppers can stop by between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

Zombie Walk Halloween may be more than a month away, but the Halifax Zombie Walk will have people getting into the spirit early. On Sunday at 1 p.m., walkers can meet at the old Spring Garden Library decked out in blood and guts. Zombies will make their way downtown, heading towards Argyle and through Grand Parade, eventually ending up back at the library. An all-ages after-party is scheduled at Plan B on Gottingen Street, with a 19+ event taking place at Menz and Mollyz bar later that night.

Pakistan Festival Food, dancing and live music are all part of Saturday’s Pakistan Festival. The event starts at 11 a.m. at Citadel High School’s Spatz Theatre. The Pakistani Canadian Association of Nova Scotia (PCANS) and Dalhousie’s Pakistani Students Association have worked together to organize the second local festival of its kind. The PCANS Facebook page announced that Muhammad Saleem, Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan in Canada, will be attending the event to connect with local Pakistani community members.

Halifax women team up for Habitat for Humanity

Campaign wants to attract females to trades Rebecca Dingwell

For Metro | Halifax Marjorie Davison wants to show that “women can do anything.” Davison is CEO of the Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency (NSAA) and one of the partici-

pants in Habitat for Humanity’s “Women Build” campaign. On Thursday, the group helped with the construction of a townhouse in Spryfield. “One of our priorities…is to attract more women to the trades,” Davison said of the NSAA. Women Build involves various teams of 10 women who raise money for Habitat for Humanity. They then get to spend a day working on the job site during “Women Build Week.” Marie-France LeBlanc, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia, said the women were spending Thursday building

a firewall as well doing electrical work. “It’s a painstaking process,” she said. LeBlanc feels it’s valuable for people to know they don’t need special skills in order to volunteer. “Women tend to be a big part of the families that we partner with. They’re women

led,” said LeBlanc. “So this is a great opportunity for us to show our families, for us to show everybody that everybody can be a part of this.” Yvette Williams is the mother in one of those families. She and her two children — ages four and nine — recently moved into a Habitat for Hu-

manity home in East Preston. “Everything’s been so nice and easy and affordable since I moved in,” said Williams, who was also volunteering on Thursday. “We’re getting ready for Christmas now. It’s the first Christmas in the house, so the big gathering’s at my house this year.” For Williams, it’s great to have the chance to help someone else have a home. “It’s nice to see the other families get the same thing, and the excitement of it all,” she said. “I’m just happy for them.”

Greenhouse emissions

McNeil plays nice with Feds Unlike his Saskatchewan counterpart, Nova Scotia’s premier is refusing to publicly mix it up with Ottawa over the potential imposition of either a carbon tax or capand-trade system, although it’s clear the province is reluctant to adopt either measure. Following a cabinet meeting Thursday, Stephen McNeil struck a conciliatory tone, saying Nova Scotia’s record of leading the country in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions should count for something in ongoing talks with the federal Liberals. “We’re encouraged by the conversation and we are going to continue to talk to them looking for a Nova Scotia solution to helping them achieve their national goals of reducing GHGs,” said McNeil. McNeil said there was more work to do and wouldn’t be specific about what the federal government was relaying back to his officials. Ottawa is preparing to announce a national policy for carbon pricing this fall and federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna has indicated there will be a specific definition of what meets that standard. So far, Alberta and B.C. meet the minister’s definition with carbon taxes, along with Ontario and Quebec who make the grade with their cap-and-trade plans. In Saskatchewan, Premier Brad Wall is defending his province’s carbon-capture system and has already said he would have a “big problem” with an imposed carbon pricing scheme that would further stress Western Canada’s energy sector.

The two candidates for mayor in Halifax were on the spot Thursday night, but they weren’t exactly grilled. Incumbent Mayor Mike Savage and lone challenger Lil MacPherson were separately asked

eight questions each in front of about 40 people at Mayor on the Spot, an event put on by Fusion Halifax at Dalhousie University to talk about issues that matter to young Haligonians. The interview started out easy: why are you interested in the role of mayor? Both candidates said they believe they can make a difference. It ended in similar fashion: how will we know we’ve made the right decision by electing you? Savage said there’d be a mood in the city that it’s on the right track, and he believes there already is. MacPherson said people would be talking about what a happy, healthy city it is.

On transit, Savage pointed to the redesign already underway by Halifax Transit, and work towards commuter rail. MacPherson took a different tack, saying she’d move for a brand of bus rapid transit where the rapid lanes would also be used for motorcyclists and electric cars — something she called the “lane of change.” She also said the municipality isn’t taking cyclists seriously, and called for more and better bike lanes. Asked about affordable housing, Savage highlighted the municipality’s contribution to the United Way’s Housing First program. MacPherson said the municipality should have used St. Pat’s Alexandra to create afford-

able housing. When asked about food security in the municipality, both candidates brought up the Mobile Food Market. Savage took partial responsibility for its existence, and MacPherson said she’d spent time on it. She also said food security is why she started her restaurant, and said that more urban agriculture could solve the municipality’s problem. Asked how they’d expand services for newcomers, Savage talked about his efforts working with other levels of government to bring in more refugees last year, and MacPherson said she’d work with other levels of government to streamline the process.

Metro | Halifax If you’ve been following Metro’s election coverage this week, you may have noticed a recurring theme in the election issues in each district: development. In the district of Halifax South Downtown, the issue is arguably amplified. “This is the front line here in District 7. This is where the money’s coming,” said Dylan Ames, a Dalhousie University planning student and District 7 resident. “Lotta towers going up, a lotta heritage buildings at risk of going down.” Ames is on the municipality’s

Heritage Advisory Committee, and he doesn’t think there’s enough being done to preserve heritage in the municipality, especially in his district. “It’s coming up short right now, and that’s not a sentiment that’s not echoed in or out of City Hall,” he said. “We don’t have the controls we need to be able to stop when things are coming down. And finding the means to

do that has been slow going.” He also feels the discourse around development and heritage needs to change. “We get a lot of that back and forth about development versus heritage,” he said. “I think getting beyond that to something a little more refined, to a conversation about, ‘What do we care about preserving and why?’” Something Ames thinks isn’t

talked about enough in the area is affordable housing. “I feel like this district is where all the people who can afford to stay have stayed … which is why you hear a lot more about affordable housing and a lot more social issues in the north end, because I feel like anything that would’ve been that discourse here has been chased away,” he said. “You have a few people who hold strong and firm and have been here for 20 years, and then you have the transient student population who are dealing with low-quality rentals, are dealing with kind of whatever comes their way, dealing with apartment buildings, and not able to afford the new condo buildings that are going up here.” Ames also said he’s looking forward to the Centre Plan, but hopes it’s allowed to run its course, and not politicized during the election. “I’m kind of hoping it isn’t an election issue because I hope it can exist separate of the rabble,”

Ames will be looking at the platforms of three candidates vying for the job in the district. Incumbent Coun.

Make a movie in 48 hours, win a prize Rebecca Dingwell

For Metro | Halifax For the first time, Halifax filmmakers will have the chance join people in more than 140 cities for The 48 Hour Film Project. Blerina Berberi, the producer for the project’s Halifax branch, worked for about a year in order to bring it to the area. She says it’s important for Haligonians to show their work to the world. “If Halifax filmmakers want to know how good they are, they shouldn’t compete just with the people in the province or in the country,” she said. The 48 Hour Film Project began more than a dozen years ago in Washington, D.C., and has since expanded globally. Until this year, Toronto was the only participating Canadian city. Teams must register by Friday at 6 p.m. They will then have 48 hours to draw a series of elements — a genre, character, line of dialogue and a prop — which are all required to be included in each team’s final project. “Also, there is another feature,

being the first year for Halifax,” Berberi said. “The teams have to highlight the city. Which could be a landmark (or) a public sculpture, like the wave.” There’s no specific criteria for the film’s format or quality of the footage The short film (four to seven minutes, excluding credits) must be handed in by 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. The films will be screened for audiences, as well as a panel of judges, on Oct. 1 at the Halifax Central library. The winning entry will be shown at Filmapalooza in Seattle, with the possibility of it being screened again at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

Lighthouses get federal protection Three lighthouses in Atlantic Canada have been designated for federal protection under the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act. With these designations, 90 lighthouses in eight provinces have now been selected for heritage status. The new additions include the St. Peters harbour lighthouse in northeastern P.E.I., the Woody Point lighthouse in western Newfoundland, and the Cape St. Mary lighthouse in western

Nova Scotia. Forty-two of the 90 heritage lighthouses are being managed by the federal government and 48 will be managed by new, nonfederal owners, including a long list of community groups. Of the 970 lighthouses and other beacons declared surplus in 2010, 348 were the subject of public petitions for preservation, and community groups submitted more than 150 business plans to make them tourism enterprises. the canadian press

Before and after photos of Phoenix, who lost his eye while at a kennel. His owner, Karen Kirk, says his teeth were also worn down and he had lost his voice from barking constantly. contributed

Owner furious after her dog loses an eye animal welfare

Injury at kennel ‘unfortunate accident’, says proprietor When Karen Kirk dropped her six-year-old dog Phoenix off at a kennel in Hopewell, he was healthy, albeit a bit worked up about his family leaving him. When she came back, he had lost an eye, his teeth were worn down from what she believes was him trying to chew his way out of his kennel and he had lost his voice from barking constantly. Kirk is upset and questions the quality of care her dog received. The kennel owner, however, said it was an unfortunate accident and says he did everything he could to handle the situation

properly. Kirk said she had been in communication with Jeremy Donnelley, the kennel’s owner, who had told her that the dog was having some separation anxiety. “Every time he would message, he’d say Phoenix is whining and crying.” But she got an indication that he was getting better, and that it would be OK. Then she got the most distressing message: Donnelley told her that her dog’s eye had been injured and had to have his eye removed. Kirk said that Donnelley had told her he believes the dog must have been poked in the eye by a stick when they were out for a nightly bathroom trip. What Kirk can’t understand is how Donnelley wouldn’t have noticed the problem until the next morning if it did happen at night. She also believes there

shouldn’t have been sticks near where the dog was. The fact that the dog’s teeth were worn and voice gone troubled her further. When she got back home, Kirk contacted the SPCA. After investigating, the agency determined that there was nothing that warranted charges. “This was a very unfortunate accident causing an injury to the eye which was ruled inconclusive by the vet,” Donnelley said. “Eye injuries are most common in this particular breed of dog due to their small size and eye structure.”

He said the dog was kept in a plastic kennel at night or when the dog couldn’t be supervised, as is standard practice for all the dogs who stay there. He said dogs in their care receive multiple walks, bathroom breaks, training sessions and social time each day. “We work hard to ensure a safe environment for our clients, both human and canine,” he said. “However, like any other workplace, there will be an accident at some point,” Kirk claims Donnelley never took responsibility for the injury and wishes she had never taken her dog there. Since she’s gotten back, they’ve had to pull one of Phoenix’s teeth because of damage from chewing. She said his voice is starting to come back but his personality has changed. TC MEDIA

Helicopter decision up in the air

Nova Scotia’s health minister says a decision on a new emergency helicopter could be stalled by the fact that one of the options was grounded last month. Leo Glavine says his department plans to make a decision on the tender this fall, but it’s waiting for clearance from Transport Canada before proceeding. One of the replacements being considered is an air

ambulance that was grounded last month in British Columbia and Glavine says he wants to make sure there are no outstanding issues before moving ahead.

Man injured in singleengine plane crash The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash of a small, singleengine plane that went down in a farmer’s field Thursday, slightly injuring the only person on board. RCMP in New Glasgow say they were notified at about 8 a.m. that the plane was in distress after stalling and attempting to land in the field near Frasers Mountain Road. Doug Dort, chief of New Glasgow Fire and Rescue, said the plane appeared to land

on soft earth and then dig in immediately, causing damage to the aircraft’s propeller and under carriage. “It was a relatively soft crash ... but when it flat landed it kind of dug in and stopped right on the spot,” he said. Dort said the man flying the plane sustained some cuts and bruises and was treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital. He said he was conscious and speaking to officials as they removed him from inside the plane. meTro

Justice minister says consulting still underway A landmark cyberbullying law that was ruled unconstitutional and struck down nearly 10 months ago won’t be replaced until at least next spring, says Nova Scotia’s justice minister. Diana Whalen said Thursday that provincial government officials are still consulting with experts and want to ensure the new law can withstand a court challenge. Whalen said it’s important to take the time to do it right, noting the original law was passed in only three weeks with allparty support. “What we want to make sure is that we don’t bring something in, in great haste that is going to be challenged again,” said Whalen. “I’m not committing to a timeline, but we couldn’t do

The law was passed in May 2013 in response to a public outcry over the death of Rehtaeh Parsons, who attempted suicide and was taken off life support. The teen’s family alleged she had been sexually assaulted in November 2011 and was repeatedly bullied online after a digital photo of the alleged assault was shared among students at school. Whalen said getting new legislation that works is a priority, especially in light of a recent online revenge porn incident involving some women in Pictou County. “I also had the choice to not replace it and just go with some federal acts that have come into place in the meantime,” she said. “But I believe we should take action, that there should be

Listen, it’s all on me.” The decision was made, she says, during a “stressed situation” when her husband was in and out of hospital with health issues. “It was just a sh-- show is all I can say and then it just fell through the cracks.”

The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll of the presidential election asked Americans not only for their opinions on the candidates, the political parties and the news media but their opinion on their neighbo(u)rs. The result: we win. Seventyfive per cent had a positive view of Canada. Just 3 per cent had a negative view. That was better than any other person or entity. “We are your best friend, ally and neighbour. We see it every day and in countless ways,” said Christine Constantin, spokeswoman for the Canadian embassy in Washington. None of the major presidential candidates was viewed favourably. Republican candidate Donald Trump was at 28 per cent positive, 61 per cent negative. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was at 37 per cent positive, 52 per cent negative. Canadians also like America, but not quite as much. Sixtyeight per cent of Canadians had a favourable view of America in a Pew poll last year; 26 per cent had an unfavourable view.

Canadian Sen. Nicole Eaton is listed as a director of an offshore company in the Bahamas. A close friend said Eaton’s name was used without her permission. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE Federal Sen. Nicole Eaton has taken the unusual step of asking the Senate Ethics Officer to investigate revelations — presented to her by the Toronto Star and CBC/Radio-Canada — that she was a director of a company in the offshore tax haven of the Bahamas for 12 years without declaring it. Her explanation: She had no idea until a Toronto Star reporter told her on Tuesday. Eaton, a Conservative senator who recently made headlines with her anti-bike lane tweets, is listed as a director of a Bahamasbased company called Mount Bodun Ltd. between 1999 and 2011, according to Bahamian corporate registration records leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and shared exclusively with the Toronto Star and CBC/ Radio-Canada in Canada.

Tensions mount in N.C. police shootings

Chief says video will not be released Charlotte police refused under mounting pressure Thursday to release video that could resolve wildly different accounts of the shooting of a black man, as the National Guard arrived to try to head off a third night of violence

cute alert rare cub bonanza Seven rare white wild cats, four lions and three tigers, have been born in the past week in a private zoo in central Poland. The lions were born on Sunday at the Zoo Safari in Borysew, and the tigers were born on Thursday. There are at most only a few hundred white lions in the world. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS shooting death

Tulsa officer charged with manslaughter Prosecutors filed first-degree manslaughter charges against a white Oklahoma police officer Thursday, less than a week after she fatally shot an unarmed black man on a city street and just days after police released videos of the shooting, saying in court documents that the officer “reacted unreasonably.” Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler charged Tulsa officer Betty Shelby in the Sept. 16 shooting death of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher. Kunzweiler said arrangements were being made for Shelby’s surrender.

The swift action in Tulsa stood in contrast to Charlotte, N.C., where police refused under mounting pressure Thursday to release video of the shooting of another black man this week and the National Guard was called in to try to a head off a third night of violence. Demonstrations in Tulsa since Crutcher’s death have been consistently peaceful. Dash-cam and aerial footage of the shooting and its aftermath showed Crutcher walking away from Shelby with his arms in the air. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

in a city on edge. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said that releasing police dash-cam and body camera footage of the killing of 43-year Keith Lamont Scott could undermine the investigation. He told reporters the video will be made public when he believes there is a “compelling reason” to do so. “You shouldn’t expect it to be released,” Putney said. “I’m not going to jeopardize the in-

vestigation.” Meanwhile, an undisclosed number of National Guardsmen assembled in Charlotte, sent in by Gov. Pat McCrory after a second straight night of racial unrest that seemed at odds with Charlotte’s image as a diverse, forward-looking banking capital of the New South. Charlotte is just the latest U.S. city to be shaken by protests and recriminations over the death of a black man at the hands of

police, a list that includes Baltimore, Milwaukee, Chicago, New York, and Ferguson, Missouri. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Thursday, prosecutors charged a white officer with manslaughter for killing an unarmed black man on a city street last week. In Charlotte, scores of rioters Wednesday night attacked reporters and others, set fires and smashed windows of hotels, office buildings and restaurants downtown. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Allo bids adios to encryption messaging

Snowden takes to Twitter as app raises privacy worries Google is the latest technology company to face criticism over privacy concerns surrounding a messaging app. This week, the company began rolling out Allo, a new text messaging service with a “smart assistant” — similar to Apple’s Siri — that can offer up smart replies and put the company’s powerful search engine at the texter’s fingertips. The app will be coming to Canada, but at press time was not yet available on Google Play. When it was announced at the company’s annual I/O conference in May, Google said the app would feature end-to-end encryption, which is a highly

secure level of data protection that allows only the recipient and sender to see the messages. Even the company or app sending the message cannot see its contents. However, at launch this week, due to some of the features available in Allo, the company has removed the encryption, which was first reported by The Verge. Those messages will be shared with Google servers, which has raised the ire of privacy advocates, including U.S. surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden. On Thursday, Snowden tweeted: “Free for download today: Google Mail, Google Maps, and Google Surveillance. That’s #Allo. Don’t use Allo.” Followed by: “What is #Allo? A Google app that records every message you ever send and makes it available to police upon request.” Allo has an Incognito mode,

Hackers stole info from 500 million users: Yahoo

Yahoo said hackers stole personal information from 500 million of its user accounts, a massive security breakdown it attributed to a “state sponsored actor.” The breach disclosed Thursday, the latest setback for the beleaguered internet company, dates back to late 2014. That’s when high-tech thieves hacked into Yahoo’s data centres, the company said. But Yahoo only recently discovered the break-in as part of an ongoing internal investigation. The stolen data includes users’ names, email address-

es, telephone numbers, birth dates, hashed passwords, and the security questions — and answers — used to verify an account holder’s identity. Last month, the tech site Motherboard reported that a hacker who uses the name “Peace” boasted that he had account information belonging to 200 million Yahoo users and was trying to sell the data

on the web. Yahoo recommends that users change their passwords if they haven’t done so since 2014. The California company said its investigation so far hasn’t found any evidence that information about users’ bank accounts or credit and debit cards were swiped in the hacking attack. It said it has “no evidence” that the attacker is

still in Yahoo’s network. News of the security lapse could cause some people to have second thoughts about relying on Yahoo’s services, raising a prickly issue for the company as it tries to sell its digital operations to Verizon Communications for $4.8 billion US. That deal, announced two months ago, isn’t supposed to close until early next year. That leaves Verizon with wiggle room to renegotiate the purchase price or even back out if it believes the security breach

will harm Yahoo’s business. That could happen if users shun Yahoo or file lawsuits because they’re incensed by the theft of their personal information. Verizon said it still doesn’t know enough about the Yahoo break-in to assess the potential consequences. “We will evaluate as the investigation continues through the lens of overall Verizon interests, including consumers, customers, shareholders and related communities,” the company said in a statement.

Statistics Canada says the number of people receiving employment insurance payments climbed 4.4 per cent from June to July as changes to extend benefits for those in hard-hit areas kicked in. The agency said Thursday there were 575,200 people receiving regular EI benefits that month. The federal government changed the rules to extend benefits in 15 regions that saw significant increases in unemployment. EI claims totalled 307,600 in July, up 33.4 per cent from the same month a year ago due to the changes. According to Employment and Social Development Canada, the July claims included about 87,000 one-time automatic renewals related to the EI program changes. Statistics Canada said the changes accounted for almost a quarter of the total volume of claims in July and more than half of the renewal claims. THE CANADIAN PRESS

OH, TO BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE

Hands up: Who wants to beam themselves to school or work? Us too. Too bad quantum teleportation has nothing to do with that. Scientists in Calgary have transferred ‘disembodied’ information from one particle to another one, across the city. It’s teleportation, but no physical matter travelled anywhere. It boggles the mind — but it could also pave the way for a future, super-fast, super-secure Internet.

PHOTONS are tiny particles with energy, but no mass. They’re what light is made of.

The distance (six kilometres) and the connection (dark fibre cable) between the photons is important because in the future, information could be sent this way via the quantum Internet, all over the world, using materials we already have.

Using some fancy lasers and other high-tech equipment, researchers at the University of Calgary created an entangled pair of photons and sent one across town to Calgary City Hall.

This quanternet — it’s still theoretical at this point —would also be virtually unhackable. One of the weird things about quantum physics is that when humans come in and observe a system, they mess it up — meaning any would-be hacker would instantly advertise his or her presence.

The properties — or quantum states — of the two photons remained exactly in sync. What happened to one affected the other. It’s sort of hard to imagine, but the photons were fundamentally linked in such a way that they’re actually the same thing. That’s the teleportation part.

Photon A Photon B

WHAT IS ENTANGLEMENT? Entanglement just means the state of one system is dependent on the state of another. For example, an atom’s electrons and protons are entangled: As one moves, so does the other. Quantum teleportation is when information is sent from one location (like a photon at the University of Calgary) to another (a photon at Calgary city hall) without the need for a physical particle as a go-between. Because the two photons are entangled, what happens to the state of one automatically affects the state of the other — and information passes between them. “Information” in this sense means a description of the photon’s state. An example of a state would be orientation: the photon could be in a horizontal or vertical position. Imagine horizontal means zero and vertical means one: You can see how information can be encoded in photons the same way it is in computers’ binary code, a sequence of zeros and ones called bits. But because quantum physics is super weird, a photon can also be in superposition: It can be a zero and a one at the same time. That’s why computers of the future that process information encoded in particles called quantum bits (qubits) will be unfathomably fast.

Often cited as one of the greatest films ever made, Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai provided what Fuqua described as the DNA of his film, but he also noted, “Westerns change with the time we’re in, so we made our film based on the world we are living in.” To that end, he has assembled the most diverse cast for a

an American actor of Tlingit, Koyukon-Athabascan and Irish descent. “You can’t do the same thing every era,” says Fuqua. Westerns change all the time, he adds. If filmmakers stuck to just one way of making a movie then all westerns would be cast

with white guys looking like John Wayne in a John Ford movie, Fuqua jokes. “My idea was, if Denzel walks into a room, the room stops. If Clint Eastwood walks into a room, the room stops. Is it because he’s a gunslinger or is it because of the colour of his skin? We’ll let the audience decide,” he says. When asked if The Magnificent Seven is proof that Hollywood is becoming more diverse the director says, “You have to give the studio credit when they do something like this. This becomes the new definition of what

a western is.” Star Denzel Washington says he’s never seen the 1960 film. “I didn’t keep away from it,” he says. “I just didn’t know how it would help me. I had never seen it as a kid or whatever. People say, ‘You’re the so and so character,’ I don’t even know who that is. I think it allowed me to do whatever I wanted to do instead of trying to not do what someone else did.” Why did he sign on? “Well, Antoine asked me. It’s as simple as that. Obviously, it’s a good story and a good script but most importantly it was Antoine.”

Marion Cotillard is announcing her pregnancy and shooting down rumours of any romantic involvement with Brad Pitt. “This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into,” the Oscarwinning actress wrote in a statement posted Wednesday on Instagram. The star of such films as Inception and Rust and Bone said that she is “not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up.” Cotillard affirmed her long-

time relationship with actor Guillaume Canet. The couple are parents to a five-year-old son. She said in her Instagram post alongside a photo of bird soaring through the sky that he is “the only one that I need” and they are expecting another child. The actress, who won an Academy Award in 2008 for her performance as the legendary French singer Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, stars with Pitt in the upcoming World War II romantic thriller Allied. Several reports this week suggested a relationship between Cotillard and Pitt was

one of the reasons Angelina Jolie filed for divorce on Monday. “This crafted conversation isn’t distressing,” Cotillard wrote. “And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery,” she added. Cotillard says she hopes Jolie and Pitt “will find peace in this very tumultuous moment.” A spokeswoman for Cotillard didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment about the Instagram post. the associated press

Hudson returns for ‘little-known story’

Finding Altamira

Filmmaker’s comeback a tale of prehistoric cave drawings Steve Gow

For Metro Canada Filmmaker Hugh Hudson has been hiding in a cave ever since he released his last movie in 2000. So what finally lured the Oscar-nominated director back out into dramatic daylight after 16 years? Well coincidentally, it was a cave. The Cave of Altamira to be precise. “People in Spain know about it, but it’s a littleknown story in a way,” admitted the 80-year-old filmmaking legend about Finding Altamira — his latest period drama tracing the discov-

ery of the first cave drawings painted by prehistoric peoples. “I thought the story was very good because of what it’s about — a miscarriage of justice really (and how it) nearly destroyed this man’s life,” explained Hudson of his desire to delve into the drama about archeologist Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola, whose far-reaching finding created upheaval between the scientific and religious communities during the late 19th Century. “For 20 years they were considered pariahs.” Themes of justice and human rights have long played into Hudson’s work right back to his Academy Awardwinning 1981 hit Chariots of Fire — an iconic film that pitted two outsiders literally running against prejudice during the 1924 Olympics. “The institutions should be challenged all the time; they’re so often full of hypocrisy and self-serving,” said Hudson of his tendency

to tales that take on the system. “There are so many awful things that go on in society and there’s so much dishonesty and hypocrisy that you have to try and blur it out if you can.” With Finding Altamira, that meant finding the emotional truth in the tragic hero’s attempts to convince the public that the drawings debunked creationism. For the filmmaker, that also meant hiring an actor who could convince audiences of his authenticity. “I wanted Antonio (Banderas) for this because he’s a Spaniard and I think you believe in him,” said Hudson, who cast the famous film star instead of practising his predilection for using unknown actors. “When you get into the cinema and you meet a character for the first time, if its somebody very well-known, you have to get over that barrier (but) it was good to have Antonio in it — he’s so good.”

video: catch some of hugh hudson’s epic HITs On Chariots of Fire As his hit Chariots of Fire celebrates its 35th Anniversary, Hudson says it feels “as if (he) had nothing to do with it.” “It did take a life (of its own),” admitted the direc-

tor of his Oscar-winning Best Picture. “It changed the lives of anybody who had anything to do with it. I’m very lucky, really .. a lot of making films has to do with luck.” Greystoke It earned 3 Oscarnominations and was a big box-office hit in 1984, but Greystoke: The Legend of

Tarzan was almost cast with Viggo Mortensen. “He was an unknown actor (but) I could’ve easily used Viggo,” said Hudson of the runner-up to Christopher Lambert. “He was very fresh, and very young and he was an extremely good actor.” steve gow/FOR METRO

interview

Lupita Nyong’o returns to big screen The filmmaker Mira Nair was familiar with the regal grace of Lupita Nyong’o long before most. The Indian-born, New Yorkbased Nair has been close friends with Nyong’o’s family for years. One of Nyong’o’s first jobs in the movies was interning in New York for Nair’s production company. She also later worked for Nair’s Uganda-centred film school, Maisha Film Labs. What does Nair recall of Nyong’o as a younger woman? “Like she is: immensely thoughtful and stylish,” Nair says with a laugh. “She wouldn’t speak unless she had something to say. And full of fun, which sometime you guys don’t see. But there’s a real appetite for life there.” In the African chess prodigy tale Queen of Katwe, a now much more established Nyong’o has reunited with Nair for a film that reflects much of the actress’s past, as well as her future. It is, surprisingly, the first time moviegoers have gotten to see Nyong’o’s face on screen since her breakout, Oscar-winning performance in 2013’s 12 Years a Slave. In the three years since, she’s appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a motion-capture performance, lent her voice to The Jungle Book and starred on Broadway in Danai Guirira’s Liberian drama Eclipsed, earning a Tony nomination. But Queen of

Katwe, she says, epitomizes the kind of film she wants to be in. “The success of 12 Years a Slave has put me in a position where I can choose,” Nyong’o said in a recent interview. “I want to honour the opportunity that I’ve been given. So I’ve worked very hard to choose things that I’m passionate about because I think I’m most useful when I feel conviction. I want to continue to do work that moves me and develops cultural conversations. “It takes one film at a time, one story at a time, to actually shift the norm,” she adds. Queen of Katwe, which opens Friday, is itself an anomaly. It’s a family-friendly film made in Africa with an entirely black cast — a first for Disney. The film tells of Phiona Mutesi’s (newcomer Madina Nalwanga) rise from the Katwe slums in Kampala, Uganda, to elite levels of chess. Nair shot it in South Africa and Uganda. Nyong’o plays Phiona’s head-strong mother. The local flavour, as well as the real people the story is based on (who appear briefly but movingly at the end), gives Queen of Katwe an infectious spirit. During one celebratory scene in Katwe, extras mixed with nearby onlookers, eager to join in the exultation. “Because this doesn’t happen very often, we were all filled with such gratitude to be able to tell this story,” says Nyong’o. the associated press

Imagine seeing a movie in a theatre for the first time. Now imagine the first movie you see on the big screen is the story of your life. That’s what happened to Phiona Mutesi. “I’ve never been in a theatre,” she said at the Toronto International Film Festival, the night after Queen of Katwe premiered in front of a sold-out crowd of

2,600 people. “This has been my first time.” Based on the book The Queen of Katwe: A Story of Life, Chess, and One Extraordinary Girl’s Dream of Becoming a Grandmaster, the movie tells the tale of how Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga), an illiterate girl from a very poor family in Kampala, Uganda, learns to play chess, and with the help of mentor Robert Katende (David Oyelowo), moves from local tournaments to the World Chess Olympiad. “We have had video shacks for the longest time,” says director Mira Nair, a Ugandan resident of almost three decades, “but until five years ago we didn’t have theatres in malls. The price of a ticket is almost $10, which prices it out of everyone’s reach. It is true that a kid like Phiona would not choose to spend that kind of money to go to the the-

atre. She’d see a pirated DVD in a shack somewhere.” The Disney movie was shot on the streets of Kampala and features more than 100 local actors, many of whom, Nair points out, had never seen a camera before. “I actually took a bunch of the kids to see Jurassic World while we were doing the film,” says star Oyelowo, “and Madina (Nalwanga), who plays Phiona, sat next to me and was clutching me the whole time, terrified by the movie. She turned to me and said, ‘Is this what we are doing?’ I asked her if she had ever seen a film before and she said no. We were halfway through shooting a film in which she is playing the lead.” Oyelowo, a Golden Globe nominee for his work playing Martin Luther King in Selma, says working with the young,

inexperienced actors was a “was a wonderful thing for the film.” “Because the kids in this film were not necessarily connecting what we were doing in shooting the film with what they had seen before, because they hadn’t seen a movie in a movie theatre before, it meant there was something really unaffected, something really free, something genuine about their performances. I found I was getting a refresher course in how to be truthful in front of a camera. “Inevitably after you have done a few movies you start adopting a house style. You start knowing too much in a sense. Even though it is kind of a mind-blowing thing that they haven’t seen a movie, because we in the west take it very much for granted, it actually lends a very specific quality to the film itself.”

Ayesha Curry spices up cooking career The Seasoned Life

New TV show, cookbook take recipes beyond home kitchen Ayesha Curry remembers the first meal she cooked for her ultra-popular NBA playerhusband Stephen Curry: a baked chicken dish. But the meal Stephen whipped up for his chef-wife wasn’t as tasty. Or edible. “The one time he cooked for me, it was awful. It was salty, cream of wheat, gushers lined up on a plate as garnish,” Ayesha, 27, said in an interview Tuesday. “It was cute, but I couldn’t eat it.” Ayesha said the Golden State Warriors point guard loved the first meal she made, which included “his dad’s famous seasoning.” “So maybe that’s the reason why we’re still married,” she laughed. “I don’t know. I hope it’s more than that.” Food has played a large part in the family’s life — and Ayesha’s career. She just launched her first cookbook,

The Seasoned Life, and she cooks all the meals for her family — including daughters Riley, 4, and Ryan, 1 — without the help of a chef. “No discredit to the people that do — I’m always watching and looking on social media at the stuff that they make — but at home I think I’m so prideful with my food and so I make everything,” she said. For the book, she also worked independently: “I food styled and cooked all the food for the photos myself, so it was just the photographer and I.” Ayesha says the recipes are quick, easy and accessible. Some reflect her multicultural background — her mother is Jamaican and Chinese and her father is black and Polish. “It’s a big part of the way I cook, the way I flavour my food, and I think it helped me growing up to be able to play around with my food and experiment,” she said. Ayesha said she turned to food professionally after starting her cooking blog. Some of the standouts in her book include her Mama Alexander’s brown sugar chicken, Stephen’s five-

ingredient pasta (for game days) and her honey-peppered cast-iron biscuits. She came up with her “pancrepes” by accident. “I just threw stuff together, put it in a pan and then realized I left out the thickening agent, what was going to fluff that pancake up, and it was the consistency of a crepe, but they were so delicious,” she said. “The whole family loves

getting Riley involved has helped expand her palette: “The way that I get her to try stuff is by making it with me because then she’s seeing what’s going into (it) ... and she’s feeling like she’s accomplished something.” Riley’s become a social media star, garnering attention at her father’s basketball games, press conferences and more.

show, Ayesha’s Homemade, premieres Oct. 22 on the Food Network and was filmed at the Currys’ home in Alamo, California. “I tend to be super goofy and that will come off on the show,” she said. “I’m just excited for people to see that I don’t take things so seriously — life’s too short, so we’ve got to have fun and make things easy.” The Associated Press

Moosemeat and Marmalade, what a pair television

Chefs offer insight into diverse cultures and methods Art Napoleon and Dan Hayes appear to be an unlikely pair, but they both bring passion and knowledge from their diverse backgrounds as they explore food cultures and traditions in the TV show Moosemeat and Marmalade. Napoleon is a wild game foodie and bush cook who grew up living off the land in northeastern British Columbia. Hayes is a classically trained chef who has worked in England, Spain and the Canary Islands. He owns The London Chef, a cooking school, pantry and catering company in Victoria. Both share a zeal for investigating what sustainability and food production look like in the modern world and use their expertise to hunt, forage or ice fish in various locations. In season 2 of Moosemeat and Marmalade, airing on APTN, the pair continue to explore their different cultures and venture out of B.C., travelling to Ontario, England and Scotland. In each of the 13 episodes, one of them chooses an ingredient — examples include moose, porcupine, squirrel, beaver, caviar and urchin — and leads the journey. They then create unique dishes from the ingredients they’ve found. “When he’s leading basically we’re going into regular kind of chef-y establishments where real chefs would hang out, not bush men like me, and I’m the fish out of water,” explains Napoleon, who also writes, produces, transcribes and voices the show into Cree. “And then when I’m leading

an episode we usually head to the woods, hunt, we forage and then he’s the fish out of water and we’re kind of like the odd couple. Any chance to educate we throw that in too.” Napoleon, who makes Victoria his home and is from Moberly Lake, B.C., says he grew up “eating a lot of game from the land.” He was raised by grandparents, who didn’t speak English. “They were still basically following the cycles of the land,” says Napoleon. “We still had hunting seasons for different game and we had a garden for our veggies and we foraged a lot, picked a lot of berries as a kid.

“We were basically still living off the land. That’s where I picked up some of these skills, cook with fire, learning all the stuff that goes with outdoor cookery.” Filming Moosemeat and Marmalade has come with challenges. “I know other outdoor shows have big, big budgets and they take a long period of time to get the right kind of shots, especially hunting shows, they take days to get their animal — and we’re doing it in three hours, and we’re going into areas we don’t necessarily know,” says Napoleon. “When we did it in my territory it was no problem be-

cause I know the country like the back of my hand. We got three game animals three days in a row. That’s probably a little bit of magic and luck. But now when we’re going all over parts of Canada we have to magically find the right guides that we can trust, that know their territories and that can try to guarantee us an animal.” When a couple of guides didn’t come through, local hunters donated meat. “It’s also classified as a documentary series so we’ve got to go with what’s real,” Napoleon notes. Napoleon, whose resume includes the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival, Down 2

I know other outdoor shows have big, big budgets and they take a long period of time to get the right kind of shots, especially hunting shows, they take days to get their animal — and we’re doing it in three hours, and we’re going into areas we don’t necessarily know. Art Napolean Earth, Dead Dog Cafe Comedy Hour and The New Canoe, which earned him a Leo Award nomination for hosting, met Hayes on the set of the children’s TV series Tiga Talk where the chef was catering lunches. He learned Hayes liked to

hunt. “He was quite fascinated by my ability to hunt whenever I want to and that I grew up on the land, so he agreed to a screen test and there was chemistry right from the beginning,” says Napoleon. the canadian press

Your essential daily news

When you’re just popping in

Travellers traditionally look for two things: the cheapest and fastest way to get to their vacation spots. But now many are opting for a layover — a sort of bonus trip, where they can spend a day or two before heading to their final destination. We take a look at three great layover locations and what you can do there when time is limited. CATHERINE ROBERTS/FOR METRO MEXICO CITY

ICELAND

Once maligned, Mexico City has revamped its public spaces and is the midst of a cultural renaissance. Zócalo, the city centre, is a great place to begin sightseeing. You can see the presidential palace, visit Metropolitan Cathedral, the city’s most iconic building, and explore the prehistoric Aztec ruins of Templo Mayor. To sample deli treats and have some complimentary wine, make your way to Mercado San Juan, a 60-year-old market frequented local chefs. Have another day or two? Spend a morning delving into Mexico’s past at the anthropology museum or see the pyramids at Teotihucán. To capture the city’s nightlife, head to the bohemian enclave of Roma.

Few countries have been as successful as Iceland in promoting themselves as a layover destination. In fact, the discount airline WOW has been enticing travellers with cheap flights to Europe and no-cost stopovers in Iceland. With virtually no pollution and huge swathes of deserted areas, Iceland just might be the ultimate nature trip. If you’re spending anytime in Reykjavik choose a centrally located hotel. The Icelandic Hotel Marina , for instance, has great views of Mt. Esja, lines the harbor and is a 10-minute walk — if that — from downtown. Make sure to pick-up a City Card which gets you into galleries,

geothermal pools, museums and on all city buses. A definite must-do: take a dip in a thermal swimming pool — it’s an Icelandic tradition — and visit the Harpa concert hall. This architectural stunner consists of 12,000 square metres of translucent glass blocks. Then, leave the city and see some of the island’s natural attractions such as the Geysir and Gullfoss or spend the day horseback riding, trekking, or whale-watching either with a tour group or on your own. Reykjavik’s nightlife is as legendary as its Northern Lights, so why not end your stay at one of many venues that are by day mask as cafés but by transform as lively night bar rooms.

OTHER GREAT LAYOVERS

HAWAII

Rome Italy’s capital, with its unrivaled art collections and long history, is best taken in on a walking tour or on a Vespa. Don’t miss: The Pantheon, the national museum, Villa Borghese and Campo de’ Fiori.

Thinking of heading Down Under but dread that long flight to Sydney? David Griffiths, a luxury travel specialist with Vancouver’s Carlson Wagonlit Omega Travel, says Hawaii is an ideal place for a layover. To get the most out of your short stay on O’ahu, you might want to rent a car. The entire island takes around three hours to circumnavigate, so in between lounging on the sand or surfing at Waikiki Beach, check out the panoramic views of the island by hiking to the summit of Diamond Head. And go “eye-to-mask” with tropical fish in Hanauma Bay, where you’ll find some of the best snorkeling.

Istanbul This is a city like no other. It straddles two continents, is simultaneously ancient and modern, and is equal parts religious and secular. Visit Aya Sofya, take a cruise on the Bosphorus and spend time at the Spice Bazaar. Dubai: This desert wonderland is a shopping mecca. For gold (Deira Gold Souq), for textiles (Bur Dubai Souq) and for the “mother of all malls (Dubai Mall).

‘Born travellers, but society makes us tourists’ World Tourism day

CEO talks about making travel sustainable Emina Gamulin

Metro | Toronto Anyone who has ever gone travelling will attest to its ability to provide new experiences, challenges and inspiration. But how true this is for any given trip depends a lot on how you do it, says Bruce Poon Tip, founder and CEO of G Adventures, a Toronto-based travel company that focuses on smaller group tours. “The biggest problem with tourism is the consumer is being marketed to that bigger is better,” he says. “Resorts are getting more inclusive and getting bigger and are becoming compounds more than holiday places and don’t represent the region anymore.” He says some of the joys of travelling are experiencing other cultures and interacting with local residents, which just doesn’t happen if you don’t leave your comfort zone.

Speaking with Metro ahead of Sept. 27, better known in the industry as World Tourism Day, Poon Tip discussed sustainable travel and how consumers can make better choices. While he points out it’s a complex topic that’s hard to do justice in a few hundred words, he does offer simple tips for those who want a different type of experience.

NEXT BIG THINGS IN TRAVEL Poon Tip shares his picks for the next big destinations: Galápagos Islands “It’s the perfect holiday between education and beauty, because you learn about Darwin’s theories of evolution while being in such a stunning place.”

• He says travellers should ask their providers questions about who owns the company and where the is money going and make it a point to spend at shops and restaurants outside of all-inclusive properties. “The consumer in my mind has all the power to create change in tourism,” he says. • On a more philosophical level, he encourages people to examine their motivations for travelling. “Travel could be one of the greatest forms of wealth distribution the world has ever seen, and all it takes is for people to match the values of the way they’re living at home to their holiday choices,” he says. “We’re all born travellers, but society makes us tourists.”

Japan “There’s a run-up to Japan for the Olympics. It’s such a unique and curious place. Their young generation is crazy — their art is like nowhere else.”

Bruce Poon Tip says a lot of travel experiences have become too sanitized. “If you want all the comforts of home, stay at home,” he says. Courtesy G Adventures

Washington

African-American journey gets museum

When the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture opens this week alongside the Washington Monument and the National Museum of American History, it will firmly — and finally — anchor the black experience in the nation’s narrative. Fifty years after the end of the Civil War, black citizens in Washington, D.C., formed the National Memorial Association with the purpose of “erecting a beautiful building suitable to depict the Negro’s

contribution to America.” It would be, they said, “a shrine for posterity.” It has taken a century for their dream to be realized in Washington. During that time, other monuments and museums celebrating the stories of other Americans were proposed and built in the nation’s capital. On Saturday, the long wait is over: America’s first black president and first lady will preside over the museum’s opening. Thousands are expected to

attend the museum’s inaugural weekend, and millions more will virtually experience the milestone via social media. The imposing space on the National Mall likely will set visitor records. And in an era informed simultaneously by the historic election of U.S. President Barack Obama and a succession of killings of unarmed black men at the hands of police, it is a building that will affirm for many that black lives matter. Its facade is unlike anything else in Washington. The

building’s outward design — known as the Corona — features walls reaching skyward, evoking the resiliency, faith and hope that has sustained black Americans since they were brought to the country in bondage. Its three-tiered shape is inspired by a symbol from the Yoruba people of West Africa featuring a crown. The 3,600 bronze-colored panels surrounding the building are a tribute to the 19th-century ironwork created by slaves in New Orleans. The associated press

Leading the Halifax Mooseheads out of the depths of the QMJHL standings may sound like a daunting task, but Taylor Ford isn’t backing down from the challenge. The 19-year-old defenceman is set to lead a squad of talented young players through this season, and is eager to show opponents this is a whole new team from the one last year that missed the playoffs. “We’re not going to back down to anybody, we’re going to be that young feisty team that competes day in and day out,” Ford said after a team practice Wednesday afternoon. This is Ford’s third season with the Herd, but it’s his first full season wearing the ‘C.’ He already has a philosophy when it comes to leadership this season: lead by example. Kevin Resop, the team’s returning goaltender, has played with Ford for the past two years. Resop said he has witnessed Ford grow into a leader. And the team’s No. 1 goaltender

IN BRIEF Johnson tied atop field at Tour Championship Dustin Johnson hit out of a bunker to two feet for birdie on his first hole and kept right on rolling to a 4-under 66 for a three-way tie of the lead Thursday at the Tour Championship. Hideki Matsuyama had six birdies and Kevin Chappell played bogeyfree to join Johnson at 66 on a tough day for scoring at East Lake. Johnson only has to win the Tour Championship to capture the $10-million FedEx Cup bonus. The Associated Press

Taylor Ford is expecting this year’s team to be both fun to watch and successful. Jeff Harper/Metro

said Ford leads by not just telling players they did something wrong, but by showing them how to do things right. “Taylor is more of a leader that shows by example, but he

does say stuff in the room when he has to, and obviously his play speaks for itself,” said Resop. Ford believes there are two types of captains, the type that tells, and the type that does, but

to be the right kind of captain you just have to do a few things. “Just by doing things on the ice, working hard, being on time for practice and stepping up for your teammates, stuff

like that,” said Ford He is leading a team full of young talent, including eight rookies, but Ford doesn’t see it as a challenge, just an opportunity. “All these guys are going to be really, really, good, obviously they’re going to take some time to get used to the league, but you can already see their talent and skill.” The team is clicking off the ice as well, said Ford, despite loads of new faces and a new head coach in Andre Tourigny. “With Andre coming in the vibe in the room is really good, it’s always super positive, everyone is kind of bustin’ their butts. It’s really good I think,” said Ford. With last year’s poor season in the rearview mirror, this young team appears full of optimism and excitement. The team kicks off its regular season Friday in Moncton against the Wildcats before returning home to face the Saint John Sea Dogs on Saturday night at Scotiabank Centre.

NBA looks for ‘positive change’ with its players NBA players are being urged to reach out to league and union officials to try and come up with ways to create “positive change” in communities around the country, a move that comes in response to protests in other sports about racial oppression and other social matters.

World Cup of Hockey

Team North America’s talent turns heads Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews may never again line up together wearing the same colours, but if head coach Todd McLellan has his way the concept of Team North America will live on at the World Cup of Hockey. “If I get a vote I’d like to do it again,” McLellan said. “We’ve proven that this young generation can play with the older ones. We’ve been very entertaining. I think if you surveyed 99 out of 100 fans they’d probably say ‘Put ’em in again.’” Donning silver, black and bright orange uniforms, the

squad of 23-and-under stars from Canada and the United States delivered on the buzz. They were an exhilarating Auston rush of speed, Matthews skill and exGetty images citement in three tournament games, presenting awesome combinations of young talent together on one stage. The roster included the last four No. 1 overall picks and

five of the last six dating back to 2011. “I think we’ve definitely turned some heads and opened the eyes of everyone,” said McDavid, the team’s captain. No connection offered more

intrigue than Matthews and McDavid, future cornerstones of their respective teams in Toronto and Edmonton. The two flashed explosive speed and creativity together alongside Winnipeg Jets star Mark Scheifele or Buffalo forward Jack Eichel, the second pick behind McDavid in 2015. It was the allure of combinations like that that made North America, which was eliminated Thursday after Russia’s 3-0 win over Finland, the most hyped team of the tournament. “I think we’ve meshed pretty well together over the course of

“I think that definitely everyone on our team has had a good showing,” said McDavid. “I think the future looks good for the

A series of fortunate series MLB

With 10 games left, Jays hold keys to own playoff destiny Needless to say, it has been an unnerving month for the Toronto Blue Jays. In the three weeks since the calendar flipped, they have fallen out of first place, lost seven games in the standings to the Boston Red Sox and watched their chances of making the post-season shrink from a rock-solid 94 per cent to a much more tenuous 63 per cent, according to MLB’s projections, as calculated by Fangraphs. They have since bounced b a c k , buoyed by a boisterous crowd of British

mathematically possible, but highly unlikely. Their chances of securing a wild-card spot, however, are pegged between 7075 per cent, depending on the forecaster. Those are strong odds, but no sure thing. The Jays have the fourth-toughest remaining schedule of any team in the majors, based on the aggregate winning percentages of their opponents. Playing seven of their last 10 at home, where they have a healthy .568 winning percentage and have drawn the highest attendance in the American League, will help. Beginning Friday, the Jays host the New York Yankees in a fourgame series followed by a crucial three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles, against whom the Jays are currently jostling for wild-card position. The Jays should aim to emerge from those games within striking distance of the Red Sox — who have looked unstoppable this month — as they head to Fenway Park for the season finale. Rookie GM Ross Atkins said

VS. Orioles: TuEsday, Wednesday, Thursday

despite his club’s wobbly September, it hasn’t felt any tougher to watch the games down the stretch. “There might be heightened tension, like there is for players and fans, but that’s why we do it, that’s what we want,” he said Thursday. “The fact that it’s Sept. 22, 10 games to go and we’re in

the playoffs is a great situation to be in and one that many teams aren’t in. We certainly would prefer to be at the top of the division, but we feel great about the team moving forward and our chances of getting in.” Atkins says he appreciates fans’ angst and nervousness at this time of year, but he tries to

NFL

Panthers linebacker Davis says show should go on Thomas Davis Getty Images

Thomas Davis said the Carolina Panthers’ game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings should “absolutely” be played as scheduled, even with the city under a

state of emergency due to violent protests after this week’s police shooting of Keith Scott. The All-Pro linebacker said football has a unique way of

bringing people together and believes the game is something the community needs. “If you take this game away I think it is going to just con-

tinue to add to the stress and add to what is already going on in a negative way,” Davis said Thursday. Gov. Pat McCrory declared

a state of emergency in Charlotte on Wednesday night and has sent the National Guard and state troopers in to help restore peace. The Associated Press
