2016 pedestrian death toll is at 38 as woman hit in Little Italy May Warren

Metro | Toronto A 69-year-old woman hit late Wednesday in Little Italy has become the city’s 38th pedestrian death of the year. The woman — hit by two drivers travelling in opposite directions on College near Palmerston — was one of 14 pedestrians struck between 6 p.m. Wednesday and 8:30 a.m. Thursday, less than two weeks after 10 were injured during a dark, rainy dawn in late October. The numbers have led to many calling for both drivers and pedestrians to be more careful, especially in wet weather. But Ken Greenberg, a Toronto urban designer and principal at Greenberg Consultants, said it’s the design of our streets, not a few raindrops, that are the real problem. He points to four things that could be changed to improve safety — no matter the forecast. Crosswalks Make crosswalks more visible in terms of colours, markings and materials used, Green-

Toronto police say there were 1,165 vehicle-on-pedestrian collisions from January through August. November, when the clocks go back an hour and evening commutes get darker, is the worst month of the year for collisions involving pedestrians, Toronto police Const. Clint Stibbe has said.

berg said. This way, it would be easier for drivers to see pedestrians in and around them, in any kind of weather. Kill the fat curb Decreasing the radius on curbs gives walkers a leg up, Greenberg said. The bigger the curb, the more time it takes pedestrians to fully

cross the street, which, of course, means they’re in the intersection longer. Smaller curbs also encourage drivers to slow down when making turns, he said. Shine a light Better and more lighting at intersections would also give safety a boost, said Greenberg. Rain and darker mornings

combine for a “perfect storm” that exaggerates the problem “but the problem is there all the time,” he said. Crosswalk countdowns

less “you’re sprinting and you’re an agile 25-year-old.” New York City, he noted, has already scrapped this law, as many drivers were using it as a way to defend themselves as having the right of way in court after hitting pedestrians in intersections. If Toronto did the same it would give pedestrians more time to safely cross, he said.

Province to cancel Bombardier contract Ontario has put Bombardier on notice that it intends to cancel the contract it has with the company for light rail vehicles. The Ministry of Transportation confirmed Thursday that Metrolinx has issued a formal notice of intent to terminate its $770-million contract for up to 182 Bombardier LRVs. Metrolinx signed the deal with the Quebec-based plane and train manufacturer in 2010, and the vehicles were to be used on planned LRT lines in Toronto, including the $5.3-billion Eglinton Crosstown, and potentially other transit projects in Ontario as well. But the order has been repeatedly delayed. The company has yet to deliver the pilot vehicle for the Crosstown, originally due in 2014. Since then Bombardier has blown several deadlines for the pilot. “I know that there has been some concerns about Bombardier’s performance as there have been significant quality and manufacturing issues that, to-date, have not been resolved. “As a result, we have taken the next step available to us through our contract. We will continue to work with Bombardier on this issue and we will deliver on our transit commitments,” said Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca in an emailed statement. “It’s just a normal contractual procedure,” Marc-André Lefebvre, a spokesperson for Bombardier said. “There’s no visceral reaction on Bombardier’s part to this.” Torstar News Service

For All Lights, camera, life Toronto tackles city racism diversity

newcomers

Gilbert Ngabo

Metro | Toronto In its second year, Toronto’s Syrian Film Festival is shifting the lens from refugee crisis to integration. From a ragtag soccer team of Syrian newcomers to a family relying on technology to keep memories of their hometown of Aleppo alive, the lineup at this year’s festival shines a light on the struggles of refugees as they adapt to new realities. “We’re now coming at it with the newcomer concept in mind,” said festival director and founder Maher Azem. “Most of the films now have a story of rebuilding a new life, having to start from scratch and how Syrian people are coping in their new communities.” The festival, which starts Friday, was launched last year amid the Syrian refugee crisis. At that point, the spotlight was on

THREE TO WATCH: Top: Syrian Eagles The story of a young Syrian who comes to Toronto and turns his love of soccer into a job as coach of fellow refugees; Left: No Place Like Home Children in a Kurdish family forego their childhood to help their parents make ends meet in Turkey; Right: Jihad in Hollywood Actor Jihad Abdo lands in California and has to rename himself, Jay, and work multiple precarious jobs before securing a breakthrough audition. contributed

telling poignant stories of life in refugee camps and the misery of living in a war-torn country. It was also a time when newcomers were facing a lot of hostility, with some across Canada and around the world labeling Syrians as terrorists, Azem said. Much has changed since then,

and the festival is trying to bring out positive stories about success and the communities that have been welcoming. Azem said the long-term goal is to continue serving as a platform for Syrian culture, while bringing to light many issues still affecting Syrians as they look

to settle in different countries. “We are very fortunate to be in a city that is rich and diverse and multicultural and welcoming,” he said of Toronto. “Hopefully more people will be inspired.” The festival runs Friday to Sunday with screenings at Isabel Bader and Jackman Hall theatres.

As a black woman, Debbie Douglas can’t count the number of times she walks into a store to look for something, only to be told it’s too expensive for her. The executive director of Ontario Council for Agencies Serving Immigrants (OCASI) has also heard stories of people avoiding sitting next to a black passenger on transit, or women clinging to their purses as soon as a black man walks into an elevator. “We have been very good at fooling ourselves into believing that racism against black people does not exist in Canada,” said Douglas. “But I don’t think there’s any other race here in Canada where police will stop you simply because of how you look like.” A new campaign is aiming to change the trend. In collaboration with the City of Toronto, Douglas’ group hopes the Toronto For all initiative can spark conversations about living together and giving everyone equal treatment. “Even when you look at it through the gender lenses, black working women make 15 per cent less than white

women,” she said. “It’s a big problem. There’s a particular anti-blackness that exists, here in Toronto, and we need solid policies for change.” Earlier this year, OCASI launched a similar anti-Islamophobia campaign, following attacks on Muslim women wearing hijabs and negative comments about Syrian refugees. Since then, people have become more vocal about confronting Islamophobia, said Farheen Khan, an activist in the local Muslim community. “I mean, walking on the streets wearing a hijab I still feel a little bit of hostility, but I applaud OCASI for doing that,” she said. gilbert ngabo/metro

Schools to teach dollars and sense effect

Grade 10 careers class to add financial literacy May Warren

Metro | Toronto

Prakash Amarasooriya pitched the Ministry of Education on putting financial literacy into the Grade 10 career studies course. Now, the province has agreed to do it. Eduardo Lima/Metro

The Ontario Ministry of Education has committed to incorporating financial literacy skills into the Grade 10 careers course after a call from the Toronto Youth Cabinet. As first reported by Metro, Prakash Amarasooriya led a charge by the youth organization to get specific topics such as budgeting, filing taxes and how to buy a house into the careers course. He and other members of the youth cabinet met with the ministry Tuesday, and said officials agreed to incorporate the

high-level topics during an ongoing review of career studies. “That’s what we’ll be holding them to as a group moving forward,” said Amarasooriya, adding the youth cabinet plans to be involved in follow-up meetings. In a video released on social media, Education Minister Mitzie Hunter said the ministry will update what’s taught in the careers course to have a “dedicated module” for financial literacy. About three weeks ago, Amarasooriya and the cabinet launched a petition on the proposal. The petition has been signed by 10 Toronto District School Board trustees. The 23-year-old said he had to learn about budgeting the hard way, when both his parents lost their jobs in the 2008 financial crisis. He wants other young people to get the skills at school instead so that they’re better prepared for the real world.

Toronto TTC

Yuk Yuk’s calls out ad ‘double standard’ Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club management says there’s nothing funny about a decision by the TTC to ban one of its ads featuring a man wearing a shiny, skimpy pouch covering his private parts because of decency standards. “We wish this was a joke,” Kyra Williams, vice-president of operations for Yuk Yuk’s, said in an interview. “A woman can be shown in a bikini, but a guy can’t be shown in a Speedo?” Williams said. “How is this any more risqué than a woman in a bathing suit?” Williams asked. “Or any lingerie ad campaign? “A double standard at its finest.” The rejected ad was intended to run on subway cars. TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said the ad was nixed under Clause 14 of the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards, which covers (no pun intended) “unacceptable depictions or portrayals.” “The depiction of the man in the ad is unrelated to the product or service being advertised, unlike a woman shown in lingerie for what is, in fact, a lingerie ad,” Ross said. Yuk Yuk’s Williams counters

The Yuk Yuk’s ad that was turned down by the TTC. Contributed

that the TTC now runs ads of a woman in a skimpy bikini to sell trips to the Bahamas, not her bikini. “The woman in this ad is just as covered, if not less, than the man in my ad,” Williams said. Ross argued that the Bahamas ad is selling sunshine and the beach, which makes a bikini appropriate. Williams said that Yuk Yuk’s is selling comedy and the shiny skimpy pouch is part of the joke.

Toronto TORONTO’S RENTAL CRISIS ACCOUNTABILITY

It’s not a comfortable feeling.

Elizabeth Robichaud

Elizabeth Robichaud and her partner, Saajid Motala, felt pressure to hand over personal information to some potential landlords during their months-long Toronto apartment search. EDUARDO LIMA/METRO

Want keys? Hand over ID PRIVACY

Sharing highly personal info cost of getting an apartment May Warren

Metro | Toronto When Elizabeth Robichaud and her partner finally found an apartment, they were eager to lock it down. They provided everything the landlord asked for, no questions asked, including social insurance numbers and the amount of debt they paid monthly. But, they struck out. They didn’t get the apartment and,

now, are left wondering exactly what happened to all that personal information they felt “pressured” to hand over. “It’s not a comfortable feeling,” said Robichaud, who has since happily settled in a different place after an “unbelievably frustrating” search for housing. They’re not the only Toronto tenants left feeling a bit violated, said Geordie Dent of the Federation of Metro Tenants’ Associations. Dent estimates his organization has gotten at least 400 calls this year related to landlords asking for and collecting personal information from potential renters. That compares, he said, to about 250 complaints for each of the last two years. “We hear all kinds of scary stories, passport information,

credit card numbers, where tenants’ kids are going to school, “ he told Metro. “Stuff that has no basis in the law, and you don’t even really know why the landlord wants that information.” Tobi Cohen, a spokeswoman with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, said it’s an “issue of interest” for the watchdog body. The office has been reaching out to landlords to educate them about what they are allowed to request and how they can comply with federal privacy legislation. Under the Ontario Human Rights Code, landlords are permitted to ask for rental history, references, credit checks and someone to co-sign the lease. They can ask about income but must consider it with other avail-

able information. They can’t use things like a lack of credit or rental history to deny someone a place to live, according to the Human Rights Commission’s website. Landlords who ask for additional information — like a SIN —should make it clear to tenants that providing it is optional and they can’t be refused an apartment if they opt out, Cohen said in an email to Metro. Whatever the rules say, few people are going to complain to the Human Rights Tribunal or the privacy commissioner because Toronto’s rental market is so tight people are desperate to find a decent place to live, Dent said. One solution, he said, might lie in landlord licensing, something being discussed at the city.

City considers rating buildings publicly What if you could walk into the lobby of an apartment building and see the landlord’s rating — green, yellow or red — just like you do for restaurants? That’s the recommendation from the city’s tenant issues committee as part of an ongoing discussion about developing a landlord licensing system. Coun. Josh Matlow, who sits on the committee, said stories he hears from tenants across the city make it clear that “far too many live in states of disrepair that none of us would wish on our family or friends.” Many buildings can have nice lobbies, but the apartments are another story, he said, and naming and shaming landlords through city inspections would provide an incentive for them to clean up their act. “It’s so important that tenants have information before they sign so they know what they’re walking into,” he said. Under the committee’s proposal, the DineSafe-like rating system would apply to all multi-residential buildings with three or more storeys and 10 units or more. The results would also be posted on-

line along with in buildings. The recommendations, which also include fines for landlords who break the licensing bylaw, have to clear the licensing and standards committee before heading to city council for approval. Kenneth Hale, a legal director of the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario, said he’s not sold on the rating system idea just yet since it could unfairly stigmatize lower-income tenants who live in buildings flagged as “bad.” The overall goal with landlord licensing, he said, is to make the system more transparent and open. “I think this is a small piece of a big puzzle,” he said. MAY WARREN/METRO

REAL ESTATE House prices pass $1M mark Toronto’s real estate sales climbed more than 11 per cent in October compared with a year earlier, despite the introduction of new federal mortgage rules aimed at cooling the region’s overheated housing market. In Toronto the average home — including all types of houses and condos —

was $770,480, higher than the $758,369 average in the 905-area communities surrounding the city. But the average cost of a detached home in Toronto was up 22 per cent, pushing past $1.3 million and bringing the regional average for a house beyond the important psychological mark of $1 million.

Canada

the score The Canadians who Keeping on PM’s promises want Trump to win analysis

Metro | Ottawa

U.S. ELECTION

Supporters of GOP candidate in minority countrywide They don’t always like what they see or hear but Canadians hoping Donald Trump becomes the next U.S. president believe him to be a straight shooter that will bring economic benefits to Canada in a world severely circumscribed by political correctness. A President Trump, they say, would provide a potent antidote to what they view as a march toward self-serving big government whose benefactors are moneyed elites. “A lot of good honest bluecollar people were really thrown under the bus by the elite donor and political class,” said Daniel Erikson, 38, a Calgary businessman.

Trump would provide a strong counterweight to the Liberal government in Ottawa and the NDP government in Alberta that has pushed the economy “almost to the breaking point,” Erikson said. Inevitably, conversations with Trump supporters in Canada turn to an often palpable hostility toward his Democrat rival,

Hillary Clinton. Andrew Stagg, 31, a Torontoborn Canadian software engineer who lived most of his life in Calgary, said his antipathy toward Clinton stems from his Christianbased opposition to abortion, and the email and other scandals that have dogged her. Clinton also poses a threat to

gun rights, said Stagg, who now lives in the U.S. On the other hand, he said, Trump has committed to appointing Supreme Court justices who favour those rights. “That is one of the most important liberties that American citizens and residents have, and something that I think is missing in Canada,” Stagg said. Trump supporters in Canada, according to recent polls, are by far in the minority, with fewer than one in five saying they would cast ballots for him if they could. The vast majority would back Clinton, a position Manny Montenegrino, a one-time adviser to former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, said left him “dumbfounded.” Win or lose next week, few can argue with the fact that Trump has run a remarkable campaign that catapulted him from a long-shot contender for the Republican nomination to possible president. THE CANADIAN PRESS

One year since he became prime minister and Justin Trudeau has fulfilled some of his promises, is still working on many and has broken others, according to an independent, non-partisan website that has been tracking his progress. Calgary-based IT consultant Dom Bernard and some of his colleagues built the website www. trudeaumetre.ca, which tracks

what the prime minister has done compared to his promises. Trudeau made 219 promises during last year’s marathon federal election campaign, according to the website. The Trudeau Metre shows the prime minister achieved 34 of those promises as of Thursday. The site shows 64 promises are still in progress, 95 haven’t been started yet and 26 have been broken. Many of the individual promises have generated lengthy discussions in the comment section of the website and Bernard said that’s exactly what they hoped.

HEALTH Liquid fentanyl found by police a ‘game changer’ A police force in Ontario is revamping the way officers handle street drugs after learning that a substance seized during a drug raid was liquid fentanyl, a highly powerful opioid easily absorbed through the skin. Hamilton police Det. Const. Adam Brown said he and other officers came across a vial of the drug

during a raid in May, but at the time they believed it contained GHB — also known as a date-rape drug. Liquid fentanyl is believed to be more powerful than the powder form, which is believed to have led to more than 1,000 fentanyl-related deaths across the country, although Canada lacks an accurate central database of overdoses.

There might have been a Hillary sticker on a car in the Planned Parenthood parking lot, but this is Trump land. Right next door, a pro-life group plans to open its third Louisiana “pregnancy centre” in January, which promises it can “reverse” the effects of the abortion pill midway through the dosage. That might sound like fringe political efforts to a Canadian, but in America, anti-abortion politics is mainstream. And the election might seem contentious just days away from voters heading to the polls, but if Louisiana had its way, we’d be waking up on Wednesday morning to President Donald Trump.

PARKING

A week before the U.S. presidential election, I visited the New Orleans Planned Parenthood clinic. It sits nestled between residential streets, and along a wide, four-lane city artery. The new facility (updated from more humble digs in a shotgun house) opened in spring, and it’s friendly, clean, and oddly quiet. It was a Tuesday, so the regular pro-life Friday protesters weren’t around, one clinic worker told me. Another group had just finished a biblical-sounding “40 Days of Harassment,” she said. “That’s what they called it.” Patients coming here for sexual and reproductive health care weren’t bothered by the daily signs and blocking of the driveway, she added. “They say, ‘Those people need a job.’”

be the reason they plug their nose and vote for Trump. For example, while millennials across the political spectrum skew more progressive on issues of race, sexuality, and immigration, they remain divided on abortion, according to the Pew Research Centre. (And — notably — on gun rights.) The U.S. is increasingly a country of less socially conservative voters, but 41 per cent of American adults continue to believe abortion should be illegal, a statistic largely unchanged for decades. And in Louisiana, it’s a political given. John Bel Edwards, the state’s democratic governor (still quite a feat), has been so vocal about his pro-life stance, he’s actually won an award for it. He signed the new law that the Supreme Court saw fit to put on hold, of a similar nature to the one struck down this year in Texas, and he signed an-

Planned Parenthood in Louisiana — which has one other clinic in the state capital of Baton Rouge — doesn’t offer abortions (yet, it has plans to apply for the required license). And other clinics that do perform the procedure have been through a legal see-saw over the past two years, facing one of the proliferating restrictive laws in the Southern U.S. (in this case, one relating to doctors and hospital admitting privileges). The law shuttered some clinics this spring, before the Supreme Court temporarily blocked it in March. But given Planned Parenthood’s prominent role in this election, the protests against a procedure not even being performed at the clinic here make a kind of sense. Planned Parenthood, and Hillary Clinton, have become the most public banner-wavers for abortion rights. And Donald Trump the ill-in-

At current carbon emission levels, the Arctic will likely be free of sea ice in September around mid-century, which could make weather even more extreme. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Study links sea ice to carbon dioxide

CLimate Change

‘It might just be rather simple,’ scientist says New research is cutting through the confusion on disappearing Arctic sea ice by replacing complex computer models with simple math that links everyday activities to the health of Earth’s climate regulator. “It might just be rather simple,” said Julienne Stroeve, senior scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado and professor at University College London. Her paper, published Thursday in Science magazine, outlines an easy-to-understand relationship between increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the slow vanishing of summer sea ice in the North. For every new tonne of CO2 that enters the atmosphere, says the paper, the southern edge of the sea ice loses another three square metres. That’s it.

Or, in the words of the paper: “The 30-year running mean of monthly mean September Arctic sea-ice area is almost linearly related to cumulative anthropogenic CO2 emissions.” The direct relationship between greenhouse gases and sea-ice retreat has been pointed out before. Stroeve and her coauthor Dirk Notz, of Germany’s Max Planck Institute, have put hard numbers to it and explained how it works.

We are all ice-dependent species. Julienne Stroeve

In a stable ice pack, the warming effect of infrared radiation generated by the sun is balanced by cold temperatures in the atmosphere. But increasing levels of carbon dioxide prevent those infrared rays from escaping into space.

As a result, the ice retreats northward where there’s less solar radiation. “The ice is migrating to re-establish equilibrium,” said Stroeve. Establishing that hard link between CO2 and sea ice has important consequences. For years, climate modellers have attempted to pinpoint when summer sea ice is likely to disappear. Stroeve and Notz say the most likely date is sometime around mid-century. That date is important for any number of reasons. A seasonally open Arctic would ease northern shipping and resource development. It would be catastrophic for plants and animals that live on sea ice, as well as for the people who depend on them. It would also have unknown consequences for climate around the world. Sea ice is often referred to as the Earth’s air-conditioning unit and it has been linked to the behaviour of the jet stream,which influences rainfall, drought and extreme instances of both.

BOOK EXCERPT the science of why by jay ingram With our respected citizen scientist working on other projects this week, Metro has turned to former Daily Planet host Jay Ingram to explain time and aging to us. What follows is an excerpt from his new book, The Science of Why: Answers to Questions About the World Around Us (Simon & Schuster Canada).

Why does time seem to speed up as we age? There’s no doubt that the vast majority of people feel that time moves faster as they age, but very few of them bother to estimate by how much. A century ago the great American psychologist William James suggested that as we grow older, and more jaded and worldly, we enjoy fewer remarkable experiences in a year, and so the years become less and less distinct from each other. Another theory suggests that because each successive year is a smaller percentage of one’s overall life, it is less significant when weighed against the rest and therefore passes by virtually unnoticed. When you were ten, every year was huge: 10 percent of your life. At age forty, though, one year is only 2.5 percent of your total life. There’s also a phenomenon called forward telescoping. Imagine you’re asked when you last saw your aunt and you say, “Uh . . . three years ago?” when it’s actually eight years since you saw her. You’ve zoomed in time, bringing the past closer than it really is. When someone asks me how long ago an event took place, I double my first estimate, and even then I sometimes underestimate the passage of time. That’s forward telescoping. In the mid-1970s (remember how slowly time passed then?), Robert Lemlich of the University of Cincinnati proposed one significant adjustment to the idea of the apparent passage of time versus reality. He argued that since time is all subjective anyway, years are also subjective. Calculating what percentage of your total life is represented by each passing year is fine, but it’s strictly mathematical and so doesn’t take into account that each passing year feels shorter as well — it is a smaller part of your total life numerically,

Findings Your week in science NOVEMBER BLUES A new Danish study of 185,419 patients found depression cases spike by eight per cent during the month after daylight savings time begins. Less exposure to cheer-inducing sunshine may be to blame: Most people are showering, not taking advantage of daylight, from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. Sound Smart

DEFINITION A circadian rhythm is a ~24-hour biological cycle that responds to light and dark conditions outside and affects just about everything we do as living things, not just sleep.

but it feels even less than that. It’s all in your head, really, so your estimate of the length of a year that has just passed should be compared not to how long you’ve lived but to your sense of how long you’ve lived. Lemlich created equations to quantify what he meant. Their implications are surprising, even shocking. Let’s assume you are a forty-yearold. Lemlich calculated that time would seem to be passing by twice as fast now as it did when you were ten. (Remember how long summer vacation seemed to last?) But there’s more: the numbers tell you that if you’re that forty-year-old and you’re going to live to eighty, you’re halfway through your life by the calendar, but because time seems to be passing ever more rapidly, Lemlich’s math suggests you will feel you have less time left than you actually do. By his calculations, at age forty, you have already lived— subjectively — 71 percent of your life. It gets worse: by the time you’re sixty, even though you have twenty years remaining, those twenty years will feel like a mere 13 percent of

50 per cent of your total life experience will feel locked in by your 20th birthday. your life. These numbers are shocking enough, but they take on an even more bizarre twist when you extrapolate them back and ask the question: At what point in our lives have we experienced half of our subjective life? If you’re that forty-year-old, you will have experienced half your total subjective life by the time you were twenty. Even if you live to a hundred, 50 percent of your total life experience will feel locked in by your twentieth birthday. Lemlich backed up his numbers with experiments. He asked a group of students and adults to estimate how much slower time seemed to have passed when they were either half or one-quarter their present age. His theory predicted the answers almost exactly: time seemed to have passed only half as fast when

they were one-quarter their present age, and about twothirds as fast when they were half their present age. Is something else going on in our brains that would change our perception of the passage of time as we age? It might be that our internal clock (and jet lag and shift work demonstrate just how crucial that clock is) runs slower as we age. If your clock now estimates a minute to be three minutes, because it’s running slower, then many more events will be packed into that time frame and it will seem that time is passing faster. An extreme example is the case of a man who, at the age of sixty-six, was admitted to hospital in Düsseldorf. Examination revealed a tumor in the left frontal lobe of his brain. He’d gone to the hospital because he was finding life unbearable: everything was happening at breakneck speed. He had to stop his car by the side of the road because the traffic was too fast. The television, already manic, was triple-manic, and as a result of this experience, he had begun to withdraw from society. When asked to

estimate the passage of sixty seconds, it took him four and a half minutes. Imagine what traffic would look like if four minutes’ worth was packed into a minute! What this case suggests is that disruptions to certain parts of the brain alter our perception of the passing of time, and while this particular case was unusual, it’s possible that a gradual and minor version of this affects everyone’s sense of time passing. You might be wondering why we’re spending time (it’s precious!) figuring out equations to account for how we experience time. This kind of data supports what might otherwise seem to be mere impressions like this one by Robert Southey, the poet laureate of England in 1837: “Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life. They appear so while they are passing; they seem to have been so when we look back on them; and they take up more room in our memory than all the years that succeed them.” From The science of why: answers to questions about the world around us by jay ingram.

Not so strange for Dr. McAdams in focus

Actress preps for medical role long before Marvel Richard Crouse

For Metro Canada In an unconscious way Rachel McAdams has been preparing to play Dr. Christine Palmer in Doctor Strange her whole life. “My mother is a nurse,” says the London, Ont.-born actress. “She is a very compassionate kind of nurse and Christine is sort of that way as a doctor. She has an excellent bedside manner as opposed to Doctor Strange. I took a page from my mom. “I’ve been talking to her about it for my whole life. She brought her job home sometimes. I picked it up over the years.” Doctor Strange, the 14th film in the Marvel Universe, aims to introduce you to the neurosurgeon, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who goes from saving lives to saving planets. Trauma surgeon Dr. Palmer is his ex-girlfriend but still a constant in his life, and later, when things get mystical, his anchor to the real world. “It’s a much less typical love trajectory,” she says of their connection. “I think because we had so few scenes to establish our relationship it was a better jumping-off point. We had a lot more subterranean life and a much richer history

for the characters.” In the comic books Christine Palmer is a very different person than the one McAdams brings to life on the screen. “She is an amalgamation of a couple of characters,” she says. “It gave us a lot of creative freedom. We were inventing something. “I kind of looked at the comic books more for the flavour of the world and Doctor Strange himself and less so for my character.”

it’s the closest thing to a real live human being, poor turkey. Then I used oranges, which were easier to carry in my purse. Better smell too. I also had a fake head to practice on. “It was kind of like knitting. I would take the suture stuff around, put it on a light stand while we were shooting and practice. I still have sutures on my doorknobs. I haven’t gotten around to cutting them off yet.” The result of all her work is a movie she calls “an ambi-

There’s also a quiet deep emotion that runs through it. “I find it hard to get swept away by a film I am in,” she adds, “because I look at it differently, but I actually jumped at one point in my own scene.

Robinson takes a dramatic film turn Acting

Funny guy stars in new movie Morris From America Steve Gow

For Metro Canada

Craig Robinson may have finally grown fed up with being funny. It’s not that the actor, known primarily for comedic turns in television shows like The Office or such big-screen hits as Hot Tub Time Machine, is no longer funny himself. In fact, the Chicago-born talent is naturally good-natured even as he discusses a new desire for dramatic roles.

“There is so much room to breathe on the dramatic side. You get to take your time a little bit more. Comedy is like get in there — get in, get out,” said Robinson during a recent interview to promote Morris From America, the new film that is earning him accolades for a more measured performance. “It’s been nice, man. I’m really looking forward to really

losing myself to the next dramatic character.” Morris From America may not be a staunch drama, but the indie film definitely features darker elements and an unorthodox tone for a comedy. A simple coming-of-age tale about an American teenager and his widowed father living in their adopted German town focuses less on madcap antics involving culture disparity and

TOMORROW!

language mix-ups and more on the melodrama of human connection and prejudice. “People ask what do you want people to take away from this movie and that’s exactly what I say — we’re all on the same team,” said Robinson. “We can do much more when we work together; one thing I really liked about my character (was) he doesn’t let the small things get in the way of the big things.” Neither did Robinson in taking on Morris. Although he didn’t speak a word of Ger-

man prior to the movie, the star overcame his fears and embraced a chance to study the Deutschland dialect. “I don’t know how long it took (but) I knew I wanted to get it down,” recalled Robinson. The 45-year-old admits “getting a taste” of a more dramatic challenge has left him wanting more. “I am looking for stuff a little different that really stands out and really showcases things I can do,” said Robinson. “And things that I don’t know I can do yet.”

— STARRING — Craig Robinson, known primarily for his roles in comedy films and television shows, plays a widowed father in the new drama Morris from America. contributed

MOVIES The Next Adventure Robinson is currently filming a 10-episode series called Caraoke Showdown where he picks up unsuspecting contestants who discover they’re on a game show. “Just imagine Cash Cab mixed with James Corden,” said Robinson. Not Too Different “I was intrigued by the challenges that the script presented,” said Robinson of Morris From America. “I wanted something a little different but not too different. Because there’s some comedy in there but also some heart.” On Mr. Robot After seeing Robinson in a preview for Morris From America, Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail gave the actor a recurring role in the hit series last season.

Trolling in a positive way animated film

Characters, backstory of ’70s dolls come to life on screen Richard Crouse

For Metro Canada Anyone who grew up in the 1970s will remember The Trolls. The vinyl creatures with DayGlo Eraserhead coifs and big goofy smiles invaded pop culture, decorating everything from rearview mirrors to teen’s bedrooms. Unlike modern-day Internet trolls, these creatures were joyful, hug-happy little things with more personality than your average Pet Rock and a ubiquity that made them one of the symbols of a kinder and gentler time. Then they, like other ’70s fads such as disco music, streakers and Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo, faded into obscurity, banished forever to the retro section of your local junk shop. Now they’re back in Trolls, an animated adventure from the makers of Shrek Forever After and Mr. Peabody & Sherman that aims to spread some cheer amid a fraught election season. Co-director Walt Dohrn says he hopes the film’s message of optimism in the face of adversity will be “an antidote to the madness of the world.” “When Walt and I set out to make this film,” says codirector Mike Mitchell, “we did want to make a film about happiness because the news and the media is so scary. And not just for kids, adults too. The Internet is so judgemental and snarky.” “The world is kind of a difficult and dark place,” adds Dohrn, “so putting something out there that talked about happiness, where it comes from, what happens when you lose it…” “…will get people discuss-

ing the power of a positive attitude and happiness,” says Mitchell, finishing his friend’s sentence. “I’m hopeful this will start a trend of, ‘It’s OK to be happy. It’s cool.’ Especially with this clowny, weird election going on.” Trolls the movie is as eyepopping as the psychedelic creatures that inspired it. Mitchell and Dohrn have made a movie that is possibly the weirdest and most colourful kid’s entertainment since H.R. Pufnstuf. They had the freedom to do so because the beloved 1970s toy Trolls came with no backstory. “That’s what was cool about working on this,” says Mitchell. “Even though these Trolls had been around forever and ever, there was no story, no mythology to it, so Walt and I got to make a whole world. We could create a whole new world you’ve never seen before, create whole new characters.” They created a realm where the Trolls (voiced by Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Zooey Deschanel, Russell Brand, James Corden and Gwen Stefani) make a daring escape from the Troll Tree in Bergen Town. The Bergens are snaggletooth ogres, as miserable as the Trolls are joyful. True happiness for the glum townies only comes from eating Trolls, obviously a huge problem for our heroes. “Walt and I are huge fans of old fairy tales,” says Mitchell on the inclusion of the Troll-eating Bergens, “and those stories always had someone going down, having their heart taken out.” “We’re finding the younger viewers don’t have a problem with it,” says Dohrn. “It’s the parents trying to protect them.” The cheerful co-directors finish one another’s sentences and have a camaraderie that suggests they have taken the movie’s message of friendship to heart. “He’s an optimist and I’m a pessimist,” says Mitchell. “That’s kind of how we approached directing this film. We had a balance. In making it I discovered the power of a positive attitude.”

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will both be in New York City on election night, forcing the attention of the world on the Big Apple. If you want to be in the centre of the action, here is Metro’s look at the key spots to watch history — or infamy — in the making.

Metro | New York After 18 endless months, Election 2016 all comes down to one night. If you don’t want to sit at home with Twitter for this one, head to New York City, where both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be Tuesday night, and get to a party as memorable as this campaign. Political Party with Keli Goff Find intelligent banter and cocktails at The Greene Space, where WNYC’s Political Party host Keli Goff will gather some of her best informed, funny friends for a night of live commentary

and analysis. And because this is the smart, cool kids’ party, there will be games like political bingo and trivia to score rad public radio swag. $20, 7 p.m., 44 Charlton St., thegreenespace.org Headcount’s Soundtrack to History That ominous drumbeat that’s been following us around for 18 months just won’t do on Nov. 8. At Brooklyn Bowl, Everyone’s Orchestra is bringing together nine of the city’s most politically attuned musicians from bands like Big Gigantic and Disco Biscuits for a night-long jam session that “interprets” the results, which you can watch roll in on every screen at the venue.

$25-$250, 8 p.m., 61 Wythe Ave., Brooklyn, brooklynbowl.com Election Night at Village Pourhouse Like the closing minutes of an eBay auction, this election cycle has only gotten more intense the closer we get to the finish line. Take out your frustrations at Village Pourhouse by swinging at Trump or Clinton pinatas for a chance at prizes like a free tanning session (at least it won’t turn you orange), plus take your own battle-royale pics in masks of both candidates. Specialty cocktails include the Donald Drumpf and Secret Server, all just $8 from 8 to 11 p.m. Free, 64 Third Ave., villagepourhouse.com Put it on ice Wolf Blitzer’s holograms have

nothing on The Rink at Rockefeller Center, which will become Democracy Plaza with a map of the U.S. projected onto the ice and painted with light as states turn blue or red for the candidates. Watch the action from a front-row seat inside the (heated) Rock Center Café, where TVs will also be showing the election coverage, with cocktails inspired by the candidate of your choice (plus the Undecided, all $12) and a $39 three-course prix-fixe campaign-themed dinner. Free, 20 W. 50th St., rockcentercafe.com Election Night at Professor Thom’s The candidates won’t be the only ones winning on election night at Professor Thom’s. Head upstairs for all the election action you can eat and

drink: Every time a state is called, the wheel of specials will spin to reward all in attendance with a new deal, like BOGO drinks and 25cent wings. Free, 219 Second Ave., professorthoms.com Political Subversities Between a hip-hop improv troupe, a social-justice comedian, a mentalist and the associate editor of Reductress, someone is bound to have an opinion on every moment of the night. This impromptu evening of fun at Littlefield brings together a lineup of unconventional observers to turn election night into the political party of the year. $10-$15, 7 p.m., 622 Degraw St., Brooklyn

Election 2016 Viewing Party: The Apocalypse! We’ve certainly had our differences this campaign season, so set them aside at The Hill. Networking guru David Shapiro wants everyone to toast the end of the acrimonious campaign while meeting some new people over good food, specials, an electionthemed drinking game and raffle prizes in the bar’s upstairs lounge. Insults will cost you a drink for the person you got snippy with, so be cool and enjoy specialty cocktails like The Combover after grabbing your free beer, wine or well drink included in the ticket price. $10, 416 Third Ave., 7 p.m. to 12 a.m., eventbrite.com

NATIONAL PARKS

Gaze into other galaxies from Jasper Planetarium In Jasper, you can come for the snow sports and stay for the skywatching. You may even spot a sasquatch. At the Jasper Planetarium visitors can take in a digital light show of constellations amid local landmarks, then troop outside and marvel at celestial sights set against one of the darkest backdrops in the world. “There are details in things that I’ve seen here that I’ve never seen before. Details in galaxies and nebulas that I’ve strained to see in other places,”

There are details in things that I’ve seen here that I’ve never seen before. Peter McMahon, astronomer-in-residence

said Peter McMahon, Jasper’s astronomer-in-residence. Looking through a bank of telescopes, including a 136-kilogram monster, would-be Galileos can spy the Northern Lights, clusters of galaxies, stars being born below the Orion Nebula, the cloud tops of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, and flames exploding off the

surface of the sun. If it’s cloudy, they can listen to the magnetic fields of Jupiter. Jasper National Park was designated a star-gazing preserve by the Royal Astronomy Society in Canada in 2011. Ninety seven per cent of the park is wilderness, free of light pollution. On the nine-point Bortle scale, Jasper is a one

or a two, compared with, say, incandescent Toronto, which would be a nine. The designation has led to the creation of the Jasper Dark Sky Festival, an annual celebration of things celestial, and then, last year, the Jasper Planetarium. The planetarium itself is an inflatable dome that seats 35 for a digital-projection show of constellations set against local landmarks. The show includes the constellations identified and named by Canada’s indigenous people, with names like Beaver,

Star Chief, Loon, Goose, Wolf, Turtle, Spirit World and even one named Bigfoot. “As far as we know we’re the only planetarium in the world that has not only the constellations of the First Nations that would have been in this area since before recorded history, we have the only set of aboriginal constellations that fills the entire sky, where you can say this is the Ojibwa version of Cassiopeia, or this is the Cree version of Orion, for example,” said McMahon.

Visitors can take in a digital light show, then go outside to see the real thing. HANDOUT

Simmerling ‘stronger’ in return Ski Cross

Rio bronze medallist sets sights on slopes after injury Vincent Man

Metro | Toronto Georgia Simmerling isn’t your typical athlete. In fact, she is like no other Canadian Olympian. The 27-year-old from West Vancouver has the distinction of being the only Canuck to have competed in three different sports at three different Olympics. She achieved that feat in August at the Rio Games, where she won a track cycling bronze medal with

teammates Allison Beveridge, Kristi Lay and Jasmin Glaesser in the women’s team pursuit. “It was an amazing experience,” Simmerling recently told Metro. “Crossing that finish line with my teammates was truly the best feeling of my life.” Track cycling in balmy Rio is quite the contrast from Simmerling’s other Olympic appearances. Her debut was in alpine skiing at the 2010 Games in Vancouver where her best result was 27th in the Super-G. Four years later, s h e placed 14th in ski cross in Sochi. What does it say about her to shift from sport to sport and still hang with the world’s best? “That I’m stubborn,” Simmerling said snickering, “and that I like

Marner, Andersen lead Leafs in Buffalo

Mitch Marner scored two goals and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 on Thursday night for their first road victory of the season. Frederik Andersen made 42 saves for Toronto, which has won two straight and improved to 1-3-3 on the road. They also ended an eight-game winless streak in Buffalo.

Sabres

Marner, a 19-year-old rookie, scored for the first time since Oct. 15 and had his first two-

goal game. Marcus Foligno scored for the Sabres and Robin Lehner made 27 saves. Buffalo had a four-game winning streak snapped. Marner opened the scoring 4:08 into the first period. Tyler Bozak carried the puck from behind the net and fed Marner for the tip-in from the right slot. Marner netted his second

goal 1:50 into the second period when he stripped Foligno in front of the net and flicked a wrist shot around Lehner’s left skate. Foligno atoned for the turnover four minutes later, scoring his second goal of the season on a backhand from the left edge of the crease. The Associated Press

Canadian promoted to F1 Racecar Driving

18-year-old joins Williams lineup, will debut in 2017 He doesn’t yet have his regular road driver’s licence, but 18-yearold Quebecer Lance Stroll was named Thursday to the Williams lineup for the 2017 FIA Formula One World Championship. Stroll will be the youngest driver in F1 racing next year and the first Canadian on the grid since 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve left F1 a decade ago. He will replace the retiring Felipe Massa to team up with Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas.

Stroll dominated this year’s Formula Three championship, winning the series by more than 100 points. “I want to look at it like I’m starting from zero again,” Stroll told reporters during a news conference in England. “What happened this year happened this year. “I’m going to have to learn a lot of new things for next season. I’m a rookie; I’m going to make mistakes, going to learn in many areas and I’m looking forward to that.” Stroll, who becomes the sport’s youngest driver since Max Verstappen made his debut last year at 17, said he would like to get his regular road permit before the first race of the season. Claire Williams, deputy team principal of Williams Formula

One racing team, told reporters Stroll “is the full package for us.” “When we’re looking at choosing a race driver, he has everything,” she said. “He has the talent in the cockpit, he’s

intelligent, he gives great feedback to the engineers.” Francois Dumontier, promoter of the Canadian Grand Prix, said there are three key moments in Canadian auto racing: 1978 when Gilles Villeneuve entered F1 competition; the arrival of his son Jacques in 1996; and Stroll’s debut in 2017. “It’s also interesting to note that it was the Williams team that gave Jacques Villeneuve his first shot at F1 and for whom he won the championship,” Dumontier said in a statement. Dumontier added Williams has a special relationship with Montreal. Alan Jones won the Canadian Grand Prix there in 1980 to give the team its first constructors title. The Canadian Press, With files

IN BRIEF Man United offence falters against Fenerbahce Manchester United’s attacking problems continued as it lost to Fenerbahce 2-1 in the Europa League on Thursday, leaving it at risk of a groupstage exit. United beat Fenerbahce 4-1 at Old Trafford a fortnight ago, but arrived in Turkey after drawing with Burnley 0-0, during which it dominated and had 37 chances. The Associated Press Chicago plans World Series title parade for Friday The city of Chicago plans to honour its World Series champion Cubs with a parade and rally on Friday. The celebration will start about 10 a.m. when the

official parade leaves Wrigley Field for downtown Chicago. The rally and parade come two days after the team won its first World Series championship in 108 years. Chicago beat Cleveland 8-7 in Game 7. The Associated Press Penn State fined $2.4M The U.S. Department of Education is hitting Penn State with a record $2.4-million fine for violating a law that requires colleges and universities to report campus crimes and warn people if their safety is threatened. The fine was the result of a federal investigation into how Penn State officials handled complaints about child molester Jerry Sandusky. The Associated Press
