mega-dead 104 STREET
Residents are relieved Urban Sparq withdrew Jeremy Simes
Metro | Edmonton
COURTESY AMY LEE ZINN
The 104 Street mega-bar is dead. The proposed establishment received its final nail in the coffin Wednesday, to the delight of concerned downtown residents, after hospitality group Urban Sparq confirmed it has withdrawn its appeal application. The bar, which was proposed for the podium at a condominium at 104 Street and 102 Avenue, would’ve had room for 350 seats — though it was initially proposed to seat 600. In August, city council declined to issue Urban Sparq a development permit for the bar, prompting the company to launch a controversial appeal.

Brendan Cooks, a senior manager with Urban Sparq, said community groups made it clear they didn’t want the large establishment on 104 Street, though he claimed it would have had the same capacity as other bars nearby. “It’s disappointing that this kind of pub is not welcome two blocks from the new Rogers Place and the Ice District,” Cooks said. But Chris Buyze, president of the Downtown Edmonton Community League, said the organization is relieved the bar will never call 104 Street home. He said the proposed establishment wouldn’t fit 104 Street’s character. “The heritage nature of the street specifically talks about smaller scale businesses to support residential growth,” he said. “A large nightclub or bar just isn’t compatible with that growth and the expectations of people who live there.” Urban Sparq will still appeal its 109 Street bar ‘mega-bar’ application, which is on Nov. 24.

City nears river valley upgrade URBAN PLANNING
Proposal will go to council for approval next week Ameya Charnalia
For Metro | Edmonton
Edmonton is one paddle closer to building more boat docks in the city’s river valley to improve access, though some advocates think the idea needs improvement. The city urban planning committee sent the $2-million dock proposal to a council vote next week, and if it’s approved, the city will build or improve boat docks at seven sites, from Whitemud Park in the west to Dawson Park in the east, starting in spring 2017. But Jason Hayes, owner and operator of canoe-rental company Canoeheads, says while he applauds increasing river access he also remains concerned about a lack of public facilities to go along with it. “Bringing people into the river valley, you have to provide facilities, you have to provide drinking water and you have to provide washrooms,” he said. “We’re not providing facilities,” he said. “Do you really want to be walking
through the trails and find a mess in the bush where somebody had to go because they couldn’t find a washroom?” Only one of the launches — Laurier/Buena Vista Park — will receive a new portapotty, though all other sites already have washrooms within walking distance, said Rob Marchak, director of strategic projects at the city. Some new boat launches will be built, while existing ones will be improved at some of the sites, he added. Marchak said the city surveyed people online about the idea, and received

several positive responses from residents. He said some of their main concerns were regarding disturbances in the river valley, user conflicts due to crowding on the water and the cost of the project. “We’ve really tried to limit the amount of disturbance that we do,” Marchak said. The river is cleaner today than it has been in the past and there’s a desire to have good, safe access to it, said Coun. Ben Henderson. “It’s been a long desire, I think, of a lot of people that we make it easier for people who actually use the river.”

The Boat Docks and Launches Project is part of a City of Edmonton and River Valley partnership started in 2011 to improve access and connectivity in the river valley. City administration says that environmental assessment studies done at the seven proposed sites show they will improve accessibility and views, and give residents more amenities.

Iveson offers condolences to family after city worker dies An Edmonton construction worker died after an underground accident at a city-run sewer line job site, police confirmed Wednesday. Emergency crews were called to the site in a southwest neighbourhood Tuesday afternoon, and police and paramedics were lowered underground to the area
where the accident occurred. The name of the 44-year-old man has not been released. Mayor Don Iveson offered condolences to the man’s family, co-workers and friends in a statement Wednesday. “It’s troubling that this happened at a city work site but I know the city is cooperating fully
with the Province’s Occupational Health and Safety investigators,” Iveson wrote. “Our council will ensure we receive updates on the results and outcomes of that investigation and act to implement any recommendations that will protect our workers.” METRO, WITH FILES FROM THE CANADIAN PRESS

Economy finding its legs Henday exit city council

Unemployment numbers expected to get worse
The macro indicators are suggesting this is a severe recession but not the worst we’ve ever seen.
Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton Oil prices are stabilizing but the job market will get worse before it gets better, according to ATB Financial’s chief economist. “In terms of the oil prices, yes we think the worst is behind us. But when we look at Alberta’s macro economy, including the job market, we don’t think we have quite seen the worst of it yet,” Todd Hirsch said Wednesday. Oil prices dipped to $27 a barrel in February but have stabilized in the $40-50 range and will likely stay there for the foreseeable future, according to Hirsch. Unemployment is at eight per cent and could hit nine per cent by early 2017, he

said. Unemployment rates tend to spike quickly in recessions and take years to return to normal. “We see it cresting, probably reaching its high point in the first half of 2017 and
then gradually coming down afterwards,” Hirsch said. The upside, he said, is Alberta will likely emerge with a more diverse economy, as businesses outside of the oil and gas industry are finding

new opportunities. “In 2016 and into 2017 for Alberta, a lot of those businesses are going to find very attractive labour available. They’re going to find very attractive industrial park
spaces and office space,” Hirsch said. ATB’s most recent economic outlook shows more people are moving out of Alberta than into the province for the third straight quarter, a trend Hirsch expects to accelerate before it reverses. The numbers are small, however — 6,000 have left in the last three quarters, after an inflow of 140,000 people in the previous 20 months. On the other hand, tourism in Alberta has increased, particularly among American and Chinese tourists taking advantage of Canada’s weak dollar as well as cashstrapped Albertans resorting to staycations.
closure
Even though city administration long ago knew the province planned to close the 127 Street exit on the Henday later this year, they only decided to tell council about it five days ago. On Wednesday, Metro obtained an Oct. 6 city memo that showed administration was aware the government was working to close the 127 Street exit to the Henday later this year. But according to Coun. Bryan Anderson, city council was only made aware of the closure five days ago. Even Mayor Don Iveson said he was only made aware of the closure on Tuesday. Anderson said the closure raises a lot of concerns. “I don’t think the province has given any thought to the relocation of traffic,” he said. “They are not prepared to say, ‘We realize this closure is going to have a negative effect on congestion at other roads.’” Jeremy Simes/Metro

Musicians up against a wall over U.S. touring fee arts
U.S. jacks up work visa cost by 42 per cent Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton Edmonton musicians say they’re reaching a breaking point with fees to tour the United States. The U.S. government upped the cost of work visas required to play south of the border by 42 per cent last week, from $325 to $460 US per person — turning something that is already unprofitable for many into a major financial burden. “For 99 per cent of artists they go down to the States and they spend a whole bunch of money,” said Striker guitarist Tim Brown, who added he does not understand the motivation
Edmonton band Striker is unimpressed by new American fees for touring musicians. Contributed
behind the move. “If you look at it from an economic standpoint, a Canadian band going on tour in the States is going to generate a whole lot more money
in America for Americans. We spend thousands of dollars on gas and hotels and stuff when we go on tour.” The American government also increased the amount of

time it takes to issue the visa to perform there, from 90 days to 120 days. That’s quadrupled from 18 months ago, when Brown said he could get one in 30 days.
Striker was in the midst of planning a U.S. tour for January and February when the news came down, and the band will now have to pay at least an additional $1,000 to fast-track the work permits. “To me it’s very evident that the system is at a breaking point now for musicians to get across the border,” Brown said. “It’s just so ridiculous. I don’t understand exactly what they’re trying to protect against.” Edmonton metal band Begrime Exemious is signed to an American record label, which makes annual U.S. tours crucial. Frontman Derek Orthner said the band is established enough to turn a small profit, but if they had not already made it this far they’d be steering clear. “I wouldn’t even consider it if it was our first time down there,” he said. “It’s just way too pricey.”

Planet Organic
Store to fill shelves
A Planet Organic manager says customers won’t face empty shelves at its two Edmonton stores for much longer. Patrons of the grocery store have taken to social media in the last few days complaining about the lack of produce, dairy and other fresh products at the Jasper Avenue and 104 Street locations. Shelves have been left empty because of a company-wide restructuring that disrupted the store’s supply chain, said Scott Harvey, countrywide operations manager for Planet Organic. “We’re not going out of business,” he said. “We’ve had to make some tough decisions and unfortunately, as I said, it did spill over the stores and affect our customers which is something that we try to avoid but unfortunately couldn’t.” Harvey wouldn’t comment on what the restructuring process entailed, but confirmed it affected supply at all the stores Western Canada outlets.

Construction hurts cyclists, pedestrians Commuting
But sidewalk obstructions a ‘matter of perspective’ Jeremy Simes
Metro | Edmonton The city is working to make it easier for pedestrians to get around construction, but people also need to be patient when crews or equipment block access to a sidewalk or bike route, according to one city traffic control supervisor. Earlier this week, Brad Vanderhoek said he was “disappointed” when Mayor Don Iveson asked administration to investigate ways to stop construction blocking side-
walks so often. Vanderhoek said the city spends a lot of time working to meet the needs of pedestrians. He adds that sidewalk obstructions can be “a matter of perspective,” and adds that walking or cycling a bit farther to get around a detour isn’t the end of the world. But Darryl Mullen, acting director of traffic operations, was quick to add the city is taking steps to meet the needs of pedestrians. He said it was the first time there has been a formal inquiry into sidewalk obstructions by a city council member, adding there’s a cultural shift towards driving less currently underway in Edmonton. “We’re reviewing polices and practices,” he said. “We’re trying to improve on it.” The city issued 8,600 OnStreet Construction and Main-
tenance (OSCAM) permits so far this year, which are required for all work that involves the excavation of roadways, boulevards or sidewalks. That’s a 32 per cent increase from 6,500 permits last year, which means more drivers and pedestrians getting shifted onto other routes. More construction is also causing problems for people on bikes, according to Chris Chan, president of the Edmonton Bicycle Commuter’s Society, who said re-routing has forced some cyclists onto major roads. “It’s not safe,” Chan said earlier this week. “Riding on a major roadway with busy traffic can be challenging.” The city is “looking at improvements and innovations,” Mullen said. “Reviewing the policy and procedures will identify them.”
Rogers Place
Second labour group blasts Aramark anti-union letter Ameya Charnalia
For Metro | Edmonton
The Christian Labour Association of Canada is joining the Alberta Federation of Labour in denouncing a letter that food services company Aramark sent to its employees at the new downtown arena in late September. The letter to its Rogers Place employees included a section outlining reasons not to join
a potential union. While employers are within their rights to express their opinions, a letter like the one in question can be “intimidating” for employees, said Dennis Perrin, provincial director for the Christian Labour Association of Canada, in Alberta. “Workers should have the ability to form or join a union without any fear of reprisal or intimidation or coercion.” David Freireich, who works in corporate communications at Aramark, told Metro in an
emailed statement last month that “Aramark has a long history of fully supporting union organizing processes based upon the rules and regulations established by the Alberta Labour Relations Board. “While we prefer that our employees deal directly with us on issues concerning their employment, we fully support their democratic right to understand all of the issues and choose for themselves on the matter of union representation,” he said.

of School groups fight back Family injured Health regulations

Home-school agencies want accreditation, funding again Two agencies overseeing thousands of home-schooled children in Alberta are asking a court to reverse the province’s decision to pull funding and accreditation over allegations of misspending. Trinity Christian School Association and the Wisdom Home Schooling Society say in a court application that they have done nothing wrong. They say the province OK’d their finances for years, and the decision to pull the plug last week came with no notice and no chance to tell their side of the story. “The closure has already caused enormous stress, anxiety, hardship and uncertainty to 3,500 students and their parents,” says the application filed in Grande Prairie Court of Queen’s Bench on Tuesday. “The (closure) decision (by the province) must comply with the

rule of law, including the public law principles that require public decision-makers to act fairly and reasonably.” Trinity and Wisdom, along with some parents, are asking a Court of Queen’s Bench judge for an injunction to reverse the closure until both sides can present
their cases in greater detail. The hearing is set for Friday in Grande Prairie. A spokesman for Education Minister David Eggen declined comment. “As the matter you have inquired about is before the courts, we cannot comment further,”
said Jeremy Nolais in a statement Wednesday. “Our first priority continues to be assisting with families and students to make their transition to a new school authority as smooth as possible.” Nolais said 121 of the students affected have found new school-
ing arrangements. Trinity and Wisdom had been overseeing 3,500 homeschooled students and 13 others in a school setting in Cold Lake. That represents about one-third of all home-schooled students in Alberta. Trinity had been receiving more than $5 million a year from the province to administer the program. Trinity, in turn, was subcontracting the work to Wisdom, a non-profit agency run by Trinity administrator Ken Noster. On Oct. 25, Eggen cancelled accreditation and funding for Trinity and, by extension, Wisdom. He cited a government report that alleged numerous spending irregularities over the last three years.

girl meets minister Alex Boyd
Metro | Edmonton After meeting with the family of a girl being treated for a brain injury, Health Minister Sarah Hoffman said not allowing dentists to do dental work and administer anesthesia on the same patient “could help improve safety going forward.” Four-year-old Amber Athwal suffered brain damage after being put under general anesthetic by an Edmonton dentist two months ago. On Wednesday Hoffman met with the family at the Glenrose Hospital. Hoffman said the regulation of dentists was the job of the Alberta Dental Association and College, but she would discuss the issue with them. The College issued a release earlier in the week saying they were getting rid of a policy that allowed dentists to administer deep sedation or general anesthesia while doing dental work.

OVER 1400 CANADIANS OWN A PROPERTY IN ECUADOR HOLA ECUADOR!
Quality, affordable health care is available throughout the country. You can easily see a doctor trained in North America within less than an hour in most of the clinics.
Ecuador is an incredible destination for real estate investment and retirement under the sun. “Properties are much more affordable than in similar destinations,” says Gordon Poole, vice-president of design and construction for the Canadian company HolaEcuador Property Development. “Now is the time to seize the opportunity.”
Ideal climate. Temperatures along the coast average 25oC year-round, without the extreme wet seasons common to the tropics. Due to Ecuador’s location at the equator, hurricanes are inexistent. The warm water offers pleasant bathing all year round.
WHY ECUADOR?
Stability. Ecuador is amongst the safest countries in Latin America and the currency is the US dollar. Most expats who relocate to Ecuador can obtain permanent residency status in just nine months.
Affordability. Where in the world can you find a truly oceanfront, luxurious condominium for under $250k? It’s possible on the Pacific coast of Ecuador. Low cost of living. Currently, the cost of living is about three times lower than in Canada.
Incredible sights. With UNESCO cities, endless sandy beaches, Amazon rainforests, the Andes and the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador is one of the most bio-diverse and eco-responsible places on the planet.
Great health care. “Most Efficient Health Care 2014,” Bloomberg magazine ranked Ecuador No. 13 in the world, while Canada ranked 21st.

‘Still emotional damage’ rehabilitation
Mental health of Fort Mac residents affected by fire Alex Boyd
Metro | Edmonton Russell Thomas was leading a painting workshop in Fort McMurray recently and asked the group a simple question. “I said, ‘How many people experienced the greatest moment of terror in their lives on May 3?’ And almost everybody put up their hands,” he said. Thursday marks six months since nearly 90,000 people were forced to flee as a wildfire bore down on Fort McMurray. Since then, a town in crisis has become a town on the mend, but challenges remain — among them, mental health. “There’s still a lot of emotional damage and people

day returning, on June 1, they were relieved. Aside from the lingering smell of smoke and a washing machine full of mildewy laundry, their house just outside the city’s downtown was unscathed That has allowed them
to mostly return to life as normal. But Russell, the director of communications for the local United Way, said getting the town back on its feet isn’t just about rebuilding houses. By the end of July, he said, the United Way had seen a 1,200 per cent increase in mental health referrals — over the entire year before. “We know we’re going to see increased family violence, sexual assault, that’s already starting to rear its ugly head. That’s what happens after a disaster.” Heather, who has a massage business, said the fire has changed the community response, too. “It feels like home — it’s just new,” she said, adding many people are physically and emotionally unsettled. “We’re stronger together, we make more of an effort to get together, we make more of an effort to check in with each other. When someone’s not having a great day, you’re there for support maybe more than you were before.”
Rebuild
Fort Mac makes headway The destruction caused by the Fort McMurray wildfire was immense, destroying about 2,400 structures, or about 10 per cent of the city. Since then, cleanup efforts have also been massive: about 355,000 metric tonnes of waste have been removed, which the municipality notes is the equivalent of tearing down and disposing of three CN Towers. Work on 250 new homes is also underway. “We’re almost 100 per cent cleaned up,” said deputy mayor Sheldon Germain. “A land of destruction is now a land of construction. There’s now homes popping up and people ready to move in as early as December.” The city has faced its fair share of criticism as it works to rebuild — residents have raised concerns about delays in insurance payments and red tape. Germain said the rebuild will likely continue for the next three to five years. Alex Boyd/MEtro

Seekers honoured via Instagram documentary
Project follows people who search for the disappeared Jessica Botelho-Urbanski For Metro | Winnipeg
An Instagram storytelling project is finding beauty among the tragic stories of Winnipeg search and rescue efforts. As a companion to a new National Film Board-sponsored documentary called This River, producers Katherena Vermette and Alicia Smith set out to tell the stories of those who comb Winnipeg’s nooks and crannies, looking vigilantly for missing loved ones. Members of the Bear Clan Patrol, who search by foot, and Drag the Red, who search along the rivers, are featured in a series of more than 80 photos and interviews, rolled out over two months on the Instagram page @WhatBringsUsHere. “We really worked to take

people inside kind of the very human experience of what it’s like to have a missing family member and then the work that’s born out of that — that sort of intense motivation for the need to just do something,” said Smith, a Winnipeg-based National Film Board producer. The photos, shot by Winnipeg’s Janine Kropla, Mark Reimer and Karen Asher, alternate between depicting searchers in action and posing for portraits, paired with captions describing why they’re motivated to keep looking for answers. Kyle Kematch, one of the lead
organizers of Drag the Red, is featured in the documentary and Instagram series. He admits he doesn’t like sharing his personal story about his missing sister Amber Guiboche repeatedly — Guiboche went missing in November 2010 — but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep her name top of mind. “I don’t like talking to the media or anything like that. I do it for Amber. We have to get her name out there and that’s all I really can do,” Kematch said. A screening of This River is happening Saturday at 4 p.m. at Cinematheque.

Groups left in dark on Yazidi resettlement
More than a week after Ottawa announced it would bring in Yazidi refugees within four months, the community and its supporters are still waiting for details of Canada’s resettlement plan. “After a long period of silence, we were happy to see the Canadian government taking action. But they are keeping us in the dark,” said Majed El Shafie, founder of Toronto’s One Free World International, which has 300 aid workers in Iraq and Syria assisting Yazidi refugees. “The government needs to be open and honest about how many they are bringing in, what the process is (for) choosing the refugees and how they are going to resettle them in Canada.” El Shafie, who came to Canada as a refugee from Egypt in

calling on the government to provide concrete targets and a timeline of its plan.
“I hope our Canadian government does not make the same mistakes where the real victims are ignored and others benefit instead due to political interests,” said Mirza Ismail, founder and chairman of Yezidi Human Rights International. The Yazidis are a religious minority from northern Iraq and have been targeted by Daesh militants with rape, torture and murder. There are tens of thousands of Yazidis displaced as a result of persecution in Iraq and Syria. El Shafie said the coalition is happy to work with officials in screening and preparing the application referrals with help from their aid workers on the ground. “This is Canada’s chance to redeem our long negligence,” said El Shafie.

World nicaragua
President’s wife behind popularity On bright-pink billboards across the Nicaraguan capital, President Daniel Ortega looms triumphantly over motorists ahead of next Sunday’s vote, where he’s considered a shoo-in. He’s almost never alone in those ads: Accompanying Ortega is the smiling visage of his first lady, spokeswoman and now running mate, Rosario Murillo. “That woman is the one who rules in the country,” said fruit vendor Roberto Mayorga. “If ‘the man’ dies, she’ll be there.” Murillo is beloved by many poor Nicaraguans and Sandinista faithful, consistently polling around 70 per cent approval. She has represented Ortega overseas and spearheaded the installation of giant metal “trees of life” sculptures in the capital, a beautification campaign that opponents have criticized as costly but which many residents appreciate. “She’s become really the public face of the administration, and I think that’s helped her popularity immensely,” said Christine Wade, a political scientist at Washington College in Maryland.
American Muslims cringe at campaign trail portrayal U.S. ELECTION
Many feel like they’re being pigeonholed by both candidates Many Muslim Americans cringe at the way they have been portrayed by candidates during the presidential campaign — either as potential terrorists or helping counterterrorism efforts. Those descriptions, offered by Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, respectively, are troubling to Muslims who complain
they are being pigeonholed and their concerns on other issues ignored. “I think that there is some level of dismissiveness about Arab-Americans and American Muslims that allows candidates to talk about us, not really to us,” said Omar Baddar, a political analyst and media producer based in Washington. Chaumtoli Huq, a lawyer from the New York City suburb of Yonkers, agreed: “We’re not able to talk about issues that impact us as citizens — education, jobs, things that any other voter would care about,” she said. “It’s a really demoralizing way to be seen to be part of this country.”
I think that there is some level of dismissiveness about Arab-Americans. Omar Baddar One of the campaign’s more memorable moments for Muslim Americans unfolded at the Democratic National Convention in July, when a grieving Khizr Khan addressed delegates about his son, Humayun, an American soldier who was killed in Iraq. The GOP candidate soon pushed back against Khan’s anti-Trump comments, setting up an episode in which a presidential nominee criticized a military family that lost a loved one in a war zone. In the second presidential
debate in St. Louis, Trump answered a question about how to stop Islamophobia in America by saying American Muslims must report other Muslims who are engaging in dangerous behaviour. That led to a widely retweeted comment from Brooklyn College professor Moustafa Bayoumi, who posted, “I’m a Muslim, and I would like to report a crazy man threatening a woman on a stage in Missouri.” By the time the debate ended, his retort had been retweeted
32,000 times. But Hillary Clinton did not escape censure from Muslim Americans, who said that the Democratic nominee’s public remarks have primarily revolved around recognizing them for what they could do to support counterterrorism efforts. Nour Eidy, a freshman at the University of Michigan, grew up in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, which is heavily Arab and Muslim: “I don’t know anything about terrorism. I don’t know their game plans, their strategies,” she said. “We’re just as victimized by them as anybody else.” the associated press

Iraq
Forces in Mosul pausing advance Iraqi special forces paused their advance in an eastern district of Mosul on Wednesday to clear a neighbourhood of any remaining Daesh militants, killing eight while carrying out houseto-house clearances. Here is a look at the main developments on the 17th day of the Mosul Offensive: Troops consolidating gains in east Mosul Six of the militants were killed inside a tunnel in the newly-recaptured Gogjali neighbourhood, while the other two were shot dead as they advanced on troops. Officers arrested a man they described as the area’s “emir”, and said that one of the two shot in the street had been the man’s deputy and was wearing an explosives-laden vest. Iraqi forces advance south of Mosul Further to the south, where progress has been much slower, Federal Police forces captured four small villages outside the Hamam al-Alil area. the associated press

1,600 migrant youth transported out of Calais French authorities bused all unaccompanied children — 1,616 of them — out of Calais’ sprawling migrant slum on Wednesday, taking them to special processing centres in one of the final steps to empty the camp in the English Channel city. The underage migrants climbed into to 38 buses in a day-long operation that began just under a week after adult migrants were cleared out of the camp known as “the jun-
gle” and sent to refugee centres around France. In the government’s final move, women and their children — slightly more than 300 people — in the Calais camp were to be transported to family centres on Thursday. “Then there will be no one at the end of the day,” said Steve Barbet, spokesman for the Pasde-Calais region.

The real-life impact of that really boring bank-rate news One of Canada’s biggest banks, TD Canada Trust, is hiking its prime rate for variable-rate mortgages 0.15 points to 2.85 per cent from 2.7. Your eyes may have just glazed over, but this is actually kind of a big deal and may hit your pocketbook. may warren/metro, with files from the canadian press Wait, I have that kind of mortgage with TD: If your monthly mortgage payment stays the same, these changes mean more of the payment will go towards paying interest, instead of paying down the principle, meaning it will take you longer to pay off your mortgage, according to TD. “Mechanically you’re not paying more, but you’re getting less from the payments that you make,” said William Strange, a professor of business economics at U of T’s Rotman School of Management. What if I have a mortgage not with TD? A bank as big as TD changing its rate could mean other major Canadian banks follow suit soon, Laird said. In his eight years in the industry, Laird said he’s never seen major lenders have their prime rates different for more than a couple of days.

What about my line of credit and visa bill? The changes do not affect interest rates for lines of credit or credit cards. But I got the fixed rate: Your interest rate is the same. But James Laird, president of mortgage company CanWise Financial and co-founder of rate-watching website RateHub.ca, said he’ll be watching it closely to see if it goes up in the near future. What’s the broader impact? When mortgages rates go up, “usually the story” is that it depresses housing demand because it’s harder for people to get financing and bid quite as much for houses, said Strange, the U of T professor. “But this is unusual in the sense they’ve been really low for a really long time, basically since the big bust in the US and elsewhere in 2007 or so.”
Green cups brew up outrage
Starbucks
Irene Kuan
Metro | Toronto It’s that time again, when Starbucks brings back its traditional holiday drinks. This year, the company released a limited-edition green cup, not meant to be a Christmas cup but a “community
cup,” which seems to have offended some people. In a press release, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz calls it “a divisive time in our country” and says the coffee giant wanted to come up with a symbol to serve “as a reminder of our shared values.” The green cup seems to have sparked some negative reactions on social media.
Some people were simply upset the cup wasn’t red or festive feeling enough, while others accused the company of politicizing coffee. Starbucks released the cup just one week before the U.S. election, and says it
is meant to be a “symbol of unity.” The design, which features a mosaic of more than 100 people, including a barista and a farmer, was created by artist Shogo Ota and is currently available at U.S. locations.

VICKY MOCHAMA on AN overlooked ELECTION battle
There’s a big ideological divide that has yet to be talked about: Scorpio vs. Gemini. With some voters undecided, why not consult the stars? Great forces are battling each other this election season: Republican against Democrat, billionaire against millionaire, Darth Vader vs. Princess Leia. Polls give Clinton a comfortable lead but the race may yet tighten. As Americans make their big decision, there’s a big ideological divide that has yet to be talked about: Scorpio vs. Gemini. A lot has been said about the clash of these titans but until now, this essential difference has been missed. With some voters still undecided, why not consult the stars? For some, politics is like the Superbowl: It’s a thing that happens on one day and you don’t have to pick a team until then. According to the New York Times (a Virgo), Trump is status-obsessed, scattered and volatile. In other words, he’s a classic Gemini. Game recognize game. I know a fellow Gemini when I see one. Trump was born in the middle of the Gemini star sign on June 14, 1946.
If Clinton wins, it will be a historic moment: Not only would she be the first female president, but a Scorpio hasn’t had their claws in the Oval Office since Warren G. Harding nearly a hundred years ago.
What the horoscopes have in store for Nov. 8 When it feels as if nothing makes sense anymore — U.S. politics anyone? — many people look to the divine and the celestial for guidance. Metro asked astrologist Julie Simmons to read her star chart and tell us what the stars, sun and planets predict about what kind of day Hillary Clinton (a Scorpio) and Donald Trump (a Gemini) will have on Tuesday — Election Day. We’re also printing an advance peek at our own Tuesday horoscopes by Francis Drake. Take from them what you will.
Julie Simmons (juliesimmons.ca) CLINTON HOROSCOPE Hillary is very Scorpio. She has what astrologers called fixed energy. She digs in, she’s hard to overthrow, she’s resolute. But she’s very, very power-oriented. Coming up in December-January, Saturn will be squaring Hillary’s moon. That means she’s depleted and tired. It’s not the aspect of a win. Now, she’s no slouch. She’s got a very powerful chart. A Scorpio is always good at reconstruction. Interestingly, neither of them has any earth in their chart. Earth is the element of being practical and down-to-earth.
TRUMP HOROSCOPE He’s a Gemini. He’s a trickster. He doesn’t seem to mean anything he says. Jupiter is the planet of luck. And when Trump was born he had Jupiter shining his sun. That’s a good position. It means he projects himself and gets people to listen, even though he’s speaking out of both sides of his mouth. He has charisma. He gets away with it. And Jupiter up in the sky (now) is in that place, where Trump gets away with it. But if he wins, he will go through a tremendous amount of difficulty.
BOTTOM LINE: It’s hard, astrologically, to look at this election, because my personal wish is stronger than usual. Trump really scares me. However, if I just look at the astrological chart, Trump looks more like a winner. Simmons’ chart
Metro’s Francis Drake Ani castillo/for metro
Geminis have many excellent traits: We are energetic, imaginative, clever, and witty. For example, remember when Donald Trump joked Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever” after she moderated one of last year’s 70,000 Republican debates? Remember how deeply you laughed at his cleverness and wit? We Geminis are often very humorous. Still, Geminis like Trump and I are not without faults. We’re often impulsive. I recently booked a tropical vacation because I was tired and it seemed like a good idea, I guess. Similarly, Donald Trump seems to have decided to run for president because
a reporter from BuzzFeed goaded him into it. We both had good ideas. With her resourcefulness, secretiveness and giant pincer claws, Clinton is a true Scorpio. The Llewellyn Encyclopedia, a compendium of all things New Age, says the biggest problem for Scorpios is their “ability to cause trouble.” Secretary Clinton must regret ever learning to press “send” on an email. It’s been downhill ever since. Clinton has explained her cautious public persona is a result of being a woman breaking down the walls of a man’s world. But a quick glance at the night sky shows that actually,
Scorpios are secretive and reserved, which is definitely more plausible. If Clinton wins, it will be a historic moment: Not only would she be the first female president, but a Scorpio hasn’t had their claws in the Oval Office since Warren G. Harding nearly a hundred years ago. The skies have always played an important role in presidential elections, despite what the experts, statistics and plain common sense might say. After all, the zodiac sign to win the most elections is pleasant, humanitarian Aquarius, which includes Abraham Lincoln. And he kept the country together. It’s all in the stars.
CLINTON HOROSCOPE With the Sun in your sign now, you are blessed. People and favorable situations will come to you. It’s your turn to replenish yourself for the year!
TRUMP HOROSCOPE Respect your desire to get better organized. Act on this impulse. Make a to-do list of everything you want to do so that you are more effective, efficient and productive. Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

Power of the pantsuits A secret Facebook group has become a place for female Clinton supporters who plan to wear the classic ensemble as they cast their ballots.
U.S. ELECTION Wanyee Li Metro Vancouver
May Warren Metro Toronto
Tracey plans to wear a classic black one from the back of her closet, Cindy a blue favourite, and Lauren a grey number with blue pinstripes. The Canadian women are part of a North-American wide movement called “pantsuit day,” women connected by a secret Facebook group, who plan to don the classic uniform of Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8 in a quiet show of solidarity with her.
Burnaby, B.C. resident and American citizen Marie Cardona says she plans to wear a pantsuit on election day. “The whole pantsuit, obviously, is a nudge to the idea of Hillary wearing pantsuits all the time, which she does,” said the environmental engineer, who moved to B.C. from California four years ago. Cardona says she joined a splinter Facebook group called Canadian Pantsuit Day for Hillary Nov 8th Nationwide because the private group is a safe venue to show support for the Democratic presidential candidate. “It’s just a safe place to discuss your ideas without trolls coming in and ruining things for you.”
She mailed in her ballot Tuesday night and plans to spend election day with family and friends in Los Angeles. “Sometimes I think I might faint with anxiety. It feels like it has been like the longest year ever,” she said. Toronto’s Tracey Nolan plans to dress her six-yearold daughter in a pantsuit, in a “power colour” like red, if she can find it. “I just thought ‘let’s do it, let’s pantsuit it up,’ she told Metro. As a “global citizen” she’s been following the election closely, and sees the movement as “reclaiming” the pantsuit, often not con sidered the most high fash-
ion of outfits.“It’s utilitarian, it gets the job done, it’s sort of all the things people say about Hillary in a negative way,” Nolan said. Cindy Perry, a dual citizen who has lived in Toronto for the past eight years, said she sees the pantsuit as a “symbol of the progress” women have made. For Lauren Hay, an American citizen who has lived in Toronto since 2009, it’s about celebrating the fact that Clinton will be the first woman president, in addition to all of the other qualities that make her qualified for the role. The Canadian Facebook group’s creator, Marly Weitzke, says she got the idea
from the American version, called National Pantsuit Day — Nov. 8. It’s an easy way for Canadians to participate on election night, said the Comox, B.C. resident. “It’s a celebration, using the pantsuit metaphor in support of Americans.” The pantsuit has long been a “power symbol” of women engaging with the “public realm” of work and politics said Henry Navarro Delgado, an assistant professor at Ryerson University’s school of fashion. But not all women see it, or Clinton, as representing feminism, he noted, particularly younger ones. “That’s also something that has played out in the
election itself because some people see her on the one hand as a progressive figure in this sense, but also as a conservative figure in her political outlook, Navarro Delgado said. But for some baby boomers, the pantsuit is as much a symbol of empowerment as it is a sign of solidarity, said Weitzke. “I grew up in Ontario where I had an older brother and when he went to school, he came back and said girls cannot wear pants to school and they have to wear skirts,” she said. “But by the time I started high school in 1971, at least that part had changed. We could wear pants.”

Questioning ‘the right to write about racism’ fiction
Jodi Picoult stands behind pushing more racial dialogue Sue Carter
For Metro Canada
If there’s one word to describe author Jodi Picoult, it’s fierce. The bestselling author of 23 books has never been one to shy away from hot-button topics such as sexual abuse, school shootings and assisted suicide. But there was one issue that eluded Picoult for 25 years. How do you talk about racism in a world seemingly just waking up to the fact that privilege and opportunity are connected to skin colour? And whose story is it to tell? That’s the challenge behind Picoult’s new novel, Small Great Things. Picoult’s books always start
with the issue at hand, what she refers to as “the thing that keeps me up at night.” Her first attempt at writing on racism was inspired by a news piece about an African American undercover cop who was shot by a white co-worker. “I totally failed. I couldn’t write authentic characters or voice,” she says. Picoult began doubting whether this was even her story to tell in the first place. “Do I really have the right to write about racism? ” It wasn’t until 2012, when Picoult read a story about an African American nurse who was told by her hospital administration that she could not care for a newborn baby at the request of the child’s white-supremacist parents, that she found her way in. She imagined an emergency situation in which the nurse would be forced to take care of the child, which would lead to an arrest. Small Great Things unravels the courtroom story from three perspectives: Ruth, the accused nurse;
Turk, a staunch white supremacist; and Kennedy, a public defender who has her own complicated personal response to the scenario. Picoult spent three years with “sensitivity readers”. “I should not and would not have written the book without women of colour guiding me,” Picoult said. She met with two former white supremacists to better understand Turk, who she
calls the most challenging character. Most importantly, Picoult realized to whom she needed to address her novel. “I was writing to people who look like me. I know how easy it is to point to a skinhead and say, ‘that’s a racist,’ rather than point to yourself,” she says. “I want people to tap into the privilege that they’ve had, and force them to admit
the fact that racism isn’t just about prejudice. You could take every skinhead and ship them off to Mars and you’d still have racism, because it’s about power.” Picoult knows now that Small Great Things is out in the world she can’t control the rhetoric surrounding it (she’s already received harassing tweets from white supremacists). But she holds strong in
her conviction that more dialogue is the only way to move forward. “I think that one of the biggest hurdles we have to face is that we will make mistakes when we talk about race. It’s more important to talk about it and know that, and say, ‘I’m so sorry. Thanks for educating me.’” Sue Carter is the editor at Quill & Quire magazine.

‘I’m controlling this one’
interview
Singer opens up about anxiety, eating disorder, 1D juggernaut Since he left One Direction, Zayn Malik has been public with his battle with anxiety. But the singer also says he was struggling with even more behind-the-scenes — a possible eating disorder. Malik made the revelation in his new autobiography Zayn, out Tuesday via Penguin Random House, and also discussed it in an interview with The Associated Press. “When I look back at the images of myself from around November 2014, before the final tour, I can see how ill I was,” the 23-year-old writes in the book, calling it an “eating disorder.” In an interview Friday, Malik explained that he was so busy on the road, he would forget to eat. “I realized that I wasn’t eating as much ... our schedule was kind of crazy so we were all over the place,” he said. “It was just more down to losing track of, you know, actually eating and being super busy and getting caught up with other things that 17 or 18-year-olds do, which normally entails them going out, drinking or partying, so it was a mixture of everything,” he said. However, looking back on it now, he now downplays the seriousness of it all: “I don’t think I ever had an eating dis-

order. I was never diagnosed with one of them.” Explaining that he would miss meals while in 1D, he now is better managing his eating: “I’m a bit older and a bit more wiser.” In the book, his prologue is dedicated to 1D and the phenomenal success the group achieved in a short time — selling out stadiums, winning countless awards, releasing back-to-back hits and platinumplus albums. “I’m massively grateful for
the opportunity to be in that group,” he said of the pop group, formed in 2010 on The X Factor in the United Kingdom. “It was a wicked part of my life.” Still, he bolted from the group because he felt lost and needed time to collect his thoughts. He yearned to sing songs in a different style and write his own lyrics. “What you’ve got to understand is that none of us really had much say in the music,”
he writes. When asked if he’s still friends with his former band mates, he told the AP: “Yeah we’re talking — some of us are.” Has he heard Niall Horan’s solo single? “I have, yes,” he said. “Yeah, it’s cool.” Malik’s solo album, Mind of Mine, bowed earlier this year and veered into more R&B territory. It debuted at No. 1, but Malik wasn’t prepared for solo stardom, even cancelling
performances because he said he was too anxious. In June, he bowed out of his performance at the Capital Summertime Ball in London at the Wembley Arena, where he previously performed with 1D. “I felt sick. I couldn’t breathe,” he writes about the morning of the show. “The idea totally freaked me out and I
was paralyzed with anxiety.” Malik said he now is able to cope with it, though he declined to offer specifics to the AP. “I don’t really disclose that information, like publicly, what I do to manage certain things, but I do the things that are required,” he said. While he details some of his difficulties in the book, don’t expect a juicy tell-all: he rarely mentions former fiancé, Little Mix member Perrie Edwards, and doesn’t talk about current girlfriend Gigi Hadid. Still, there are some insights for Malik fans: He writes that if he wasn’t a singer, he would have probably gone to college to study English or worked as a songwriter and producer for other artists. As he reflected on his time in 1D and leaving the group, then releasing his own album and No. 1 hit, Pillowtalk, Malik said he’s happy. “I’m great actually at the moment,” he said from a studio in Los Angeles, where he’s recording his second solo album. “The anxiety obviously came from just the performance aspect of things, just not really understanding what that was going to be like as a solo performer.” He also felt that being in 1D was a juggernaut he couldn’t quite handle. “That machine was already going, it was at 100 miles per hour and it was harder to get off that machine,” he said. “I’m controlling this one.” the associated press

Moving your winter harvest indoors gardening
Lettuces, herbs, leafy greens among easiest to grow inside There’s no reason to stop growing vegetables just because cold weather has arrived. Sunloving edibles can be cultivated indoors in containers enriched by supplemental LED lights. But choose the right plant combinations for this four-season gardening. Some plants are more demanding than others. “The amount of money and work it takes depends upon your expectations,” said Tuan Bettes, a horticulture agent with Utah State University Extension. “You won’t achieve (indoors) what you would in sunlight.” Lettuces, leafy greens, sprouted seeds, radishes, carrots and herbs are among the easiest plants to grow indoors in winter. They tolerate cooler temperatures and limited light. They also mature quickly, and many, like chives and

parsley, don’t grow tall. Small fruited or dwarf varieties of tomatoes and peppers also will produce in basement gardens when exposed to the proper lighting. Be prepared to help pollinate your tomato plants, though. Shake them occasionally to release the pol-
len. Help avoid plant pests by segregating vegetable containers from houseplants. “Never put patio plants next to vegetables,” Bettes said. “That’s a good way to introduce aphids and scale insects.” Many people take the hydroponic approach to indoor
gardening by designing their own systems or by buying any number of high-tech soil-free containers with full-spectrum grow lights attached. Plants grow naturally and faster — up to five times faster — in the ideal climate created by water reservoirs and
LED lighting systems, said Ben Gill, a spokesman for AeroGro International Inc., manufacturers of a line of indoor gardens in Boulder, Colorado. “There’s no dirt,” Gill said. “That makes it a clean way to grow on benches or countertops.”
Many of these small hydroponic growing kits can be had in a single package: container, lights, nutrients and pre-seeded plant pods. “They’re one-stop shopping,” Gill said. “Just add water and you’ve got everything you need to start.” LED grow lighting has come a long way in a short time. “They’ve quickly become our bestselling items,” Gill said. “They take less energy to run, grow plants better and you don’t have to change them (lights) as frequently — once every three to five years instead of every three to five months.” Some hydro kits are designed to mix the LED light spectrum to fit growing conditions. That means using daylight white LEDs for fast growth, blue LEDs for larger yields and red LEDs for more fruit or flowers. “You can literally start a Christmas tree — a 16-inch spruce — in your AeroKit and then transplant it,” Gill said. “You can start your outdoor garden indoors and extend your growing seasons.” the associated press

Bittersweet ending to Fantuz’s season CFL
Eskimos
Canadian Ticat nominated for two major awards There’s a silver lining to the bitter end of Andy Fantuz’s historic 2016 season. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats slotback was one of five double nominees Wednesday in opening-round voting for the CFL’s outstanding player awards. Ballots were cast by members of the Football Reporters of Canada and the nine CFL head coaches. Fantuz, in his 11th CFL season and fifth in Hamilton, was nominated as the Ticats’ outstanding player and top Canadian. He suffered a serious knee injury in a 29-26 loss Friday night to the Edmonton Eskimos that will reportedly end his season. The six-foot-four, 218-pound
CFL passing leader Mike Reilly (5,554 yards) was a unanimous selection as Edmonton’s outstanding player.
Ticats slotback Andy Fantuz recorded a career high 101 catches this year but suffered a season-ending knee injury on Friday night. Carlos Osorio/Torstar News Service
native of Chatham, Ont., was Hamilton’s receiving leader with a career-high 101 catches for 1,059 yards and five TDs. Fantuz, a unanimous pick as the Ticats’ top Canadian, is the first player in club history to crack the 100-catch plateau in a season. “I think he’s very deserving, he’s had an unbelievable year,” said Kent Austin, Hamilton’s
head coach/vice-president of football operations. “It’s really, really a shame he didn’t get to finish it out with his teammates. “He had a great year and is still a valuable member of that room and helping to get guys ready to play to hopefully make a run in the playoffs.” Kickers Sean Whyte, Lirim Hajrullahu and Tyler Crapigna as well as linebacker Bear
Woods also received multiple nominations. Whyte, Hajrullahu and Crapigna were named the top Canadian and special-teams player for the Edmonton Eskimos, Toronto Argonauts and Saskatchewan Roughriders, respectively, while Woods got the nod as the Montreal Alouettes’ outstanding player and defensive performer. CFL passing leader Mike Reilly (5,554 yards) was a unanimous selection as Edmonton’s outstanding player The division nominees will be announced next week. The CFL will honour its top individual performers Nov. 24 in Toronto. The Canadian Press
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton’s concerns about “illegal hits” have been heard by the NFL — and action has been taken. A person familiar with the situation says Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Calais Campbell has been fined $18,000 for his hit on Newton in Sunday’s game. The person spoke to The Associated Press Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the league does not publicly announce fines. Newton had a phone conversation with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday about his perspective on the hits he takes from defensive players while in the pocket. “I got my point across. He got his point across. That’s it,” Newton said earlier Wednesday at his weekly news conference. Newton said after Sunday’s game he didn’t feel protected
in the pocket after no flag was thrown when Campbell crashed into his legs as he was releasing the football. Dean Blandino, the NFL’s senior vice-president of officiating, said on NFL Network that Campbell should have been penalized for roughing the passer. “ Yo u c a n see Campbell coming up the middle and Cam Newton he’s going to Getty images hit Cam in the knee area or below; forcible contact, driving through with the shoulder — that’s a foul for roughing the passer,” Blandino said on the show. “We want our referees to call that. We’ll address that with the crews going forward.” The Associated Press

NFL IN BRIEF Turner resigns as Vikings offensive co-ordinator Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner abruptly resigned Wednesday, stunning the team two days after losing its second consecutive game with an offence nowhere to be found. Head coach Mike Zimmer said the decision was made entirely by Turner, who was replaced by Pat Shurmur.
Roethlisberger hurting, but a possibility Sunday Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said there’s still pain two weeks after undergoing surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee, but he isn’t ruling himself out of Sunday’s game at Baltimore. Roethlisberger took first-team snaps while practising in a limited capacity on Wednesday.

Tense reunion awaits Durant
nba
Emotion will run high when old star returns to Oklahoma As much as Kevin Durant might try to downplay the drama, when he steps on the court against his former Oklahoma City team for the first time Thursday night emotions will be flying high for both sides. And there’s more: Durant’s new Golden State team rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat Oklahoma City in the Western Conference Finals just more than five months ago. “I wouldn’t say weird. I’ll just be locked in to follow the game plan,” Durant said. “But once you step on the court and see the different jersey I’m sure it will hit me.” Durant vs. old buddy Russell Westbrook, who opted to stay put and sign an extension. Oh yes, this game has been circled

on many an NBA schedule for months. At least since Durant departed as a free agent to join the Warriors in July. New teammate and fellow Olympian Draymond Green knows Durant will be extra motivated for this matchup. “I think it will be a lot of emotions. They’re going to want to beat him really bad, he’s going to want to beat them really bad,” Green said. “In turn, we’re going to want to beat them really bad because we want him to beat them really bad. So I think
it will be a fun game to play in. It’s always a high-intensity game against them and I expect nothing less.” Yes, this could be a tense reunion when the tip goes up. Westbrook went into Wednesday night’s game against the Clippers in Los Angeles leading the league in scoring averaging 38.7 points, while Durant was sixth at 28.5. Golden State had Wednesday off from practice following a 127-104 win Tuesday night at Portland. “I’m going to enjoy myself and get away from basketball,” Durant said.
