What we need for better oil spill response ENVIRONMENT
Province lists demands ahead of federal plan
RISING UP
Survivors’ Pole to bring healing to Downtown Eastside metroNEWS THE CANADIAN PRESS
British Columbia’s demands for a world-leading marine oil spill response has a long list of requirements, including a coast guard base at Prince Rupert and a multimillion-dollar price tag for the federal government. The B.C. and federal governments have been in talks for months to develop a West Coast spill response system, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is expected to announce its plans on Monday. A provincial Environment Ministry official said in advance of the expected announcement there are 11 gaps in marine safety on the B.C. coast the federal government must address to ensure world-leading spill preparedness and response. The B.C. official spoke on a

background basis and did not want to be identified. In addition to the northern coast guard base, B.C.’s demands include monitoring systems to manage vessel traffic, a West Coast marine training centre and three new salvage vessels strategically located along the coast to be able to arrive at spill sites within three hours. A detailed cost estimate was not provided, but the amounts attributed to the vessels, school, technical- and health-facility improvements and the coast guard base totals about $200 million. One of the requirements is for the federal government to clarify its election campaign promise of a moratorium on oil tanker traffic in northern B.C. Two major pipeline projects, Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway, propose to move Alberta oil products to the B.C. coast where it will be shipped on tankers to Asian markets.

Christy Clark rallies Liberals months ahead of 2017 election British Columbia’s premier is calling on her party’s volunteers and supporters to come together ahead of what she promises will be a very difficult election next spring. Christy Clark spoke at the B.C. Liberal party’s convention Sunday, saying members must prove to the province that the party is one residents can believe in. “We are going to have to fight to succeed in 2017 like we have never fought before,” she said. “And we are going to make sure that we earn every single vote that’s out there. We’re going to have to work our hearts out.” The government has had many successes in recent years, the premier said, including balanced budgets, job creation and funding social programs, such as those for single moms and kids looking to be adopted. Running a surplus has given the government an opportunity to invest in people, Clark said. The B.C. government has also come under fire during its mandate for several issues, including possible conflicts of interest, the handling of a

teachers’ strike in 2014, and sky-rocketing housing costs across the province. Clark told her supporters that opponents will criticize them leading up to the provincial election on May 9, 2017. Some of the negative comments, she said, will focus on
the fact that she is not perfect. The premier doled out criticism of her own at the convention, calling the opposition NDP a party of “quitters.” “Those guys, they’re a party of ideologues. We’re a party of ideas. They’re a bunch of guys who want to go back into the
past. We’re a party who bust forward into a bright new future,” she said. The broad-ranging speech also criticized the federal government for a lack of spending on helping to prepare B.C. to respond to tanker spills along the West Coast. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Students returning Monday to a B.C. high school where a Grade 9 girl was stabbed to death will need long-term support to prevent further tragedies years from now, says a mother whose son was killed at a school in Alberta. Abbotsford Senior Secondary was closed last Tuesday, when 13-year-old Letisha Reimer and her 14-year-old friend, who survived the double stabbing, were heard screaming after an assailant walked in with a knife. A video of the stabbing means the violence has been viewed online thousands of times despite pleas by police and the school district for people to stop sharing it. Gabriel Klein, 21, has Letisha been charged Reimer with second- handout degree murder and is scheduled to be back in court Monday, the same day counsellors will be at the school to support students and staff. Diane Lang, whose son was shot and killed at school in Taber, Alta., in 1999, said the long-term impact on students will depend on how the trauma is dealt with. “Something like this changes your life forever,” said Lang. “You can’t go back and change what happened. And if you’re not able to move forward it leaves you in not a very healthy space, and that affects your health physically as well as mentally.” the canadian press

Survivors’ Totem Pole ‘heals wounds’ on Downtown Eastside
Pigeon Park on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside has continually been a place where people from all walks of life could gather without judgment. For frontline worker Skundaal Bernie Williams (Gul Kitt Jaad)’s mother, that meant having a place to go when she got out of residential school. Now, the small park on the intersection of East Hastings and Carrall is a place where many of Williams’ troubled clients meet. “I’ve met so many people who shared their own stories, from different cultures, that this was
a meeting place,” said Williams, who now lives around the corner. “This is where you can sit and do whatever you need to do.” Williams, a respected Haida carver, has been fighting for the past five years to erect a totem pole in the park as a symbol of inclusion, healing and resistance for anyone who has experienced discrimination. On Saturday, she finally got her wish when the eight-metre Survivors’ Totem Pole was raised in the park with a crane and cemented into the ground while hundreds of people looked on.
The almost eight-metre-tall Survivors’ Pole was raised Saturday in Pigeon Park. Cara McKenna/For Metro
Williams spent several months carving the 1,000-year-old red cedar log with the help of her
son, Presley Poitras (Gad Gada Gaang). But enacting the project was
a larger collaborative effort involving the diverse Downtown Eastside community — including indigenous people, LGBTQ activists and those affected by injustices including the Chinese head tax and Japanese internment. The City of Vancouver contributed $50,000 to the project, something Mayor Gregor Robertson said is significant. “This whole initiative comes from the community,” he said. “To acknowledge all the cultures that have been impacted by colonialism and discrimination and hatred, and to give us
all strength to rise above that.” Audrey Siegl of Musqueam has both lived and worked in East Vancouver and said it does exactly that. “This is the medicine that the community needed,” Siegl said. “It heals wounds that have been inflicted not just on me but on my family for generations. Looking at the history of how the City of Vancouver was born, it’s not a beautiful history for my people.... This is a marker of who we are and now it’s right here for everyone to see.” Cara McKenna/For Metro

B.C. represented at pipeline protests environment
Several travel to Dakota while others support cause in Van City David P. Ball
Metro | Vancouver Several British Columbians have made a pilgrimage to join the Standing Rock Sioux people’s standoff over a controversial oil pipeline. One of them, Vancouver Anglican priest Laurel Dykstra, has been near Cannonball, N.D. since last Wednesday and participated in a prayer event with more than 500 interfaith clergy in support of the Sioux. “Boarding a plane for North Dakota to pray and follow the leadership of some fierce Indigenous water protectors,” she posted on her Facebook page on Nov. 2. In a later Fa-

cebook post, Dykstra — who started Vancouver’s Salal and Cedar Watershed Discipleship Community — described witnessing police using force against First Nations protesters. “Indigenous people were pepper sprayed and shot with
rubber bullets,” she wrote. “There is a huge disparity between how predominantly white clergy are treated and the indigenous water protectors.” Others who traveled from British Columbia to Standing Rock Indian Reservation included Kanahus Manuel and
her father, Art Manuel, both of Neskonlith First Nation near Kamloops, B.C. Kanahus and two other B.C. indigenous women from the West Coast Women Warriors Media Cooperative have broadcast updates from the front lines in North Dakota. “We have mobilized many nations here at camp,” she said in a Youtube video filmed on the banks of the river where police used pepper spray and rubber bullets last week. “We’re here to say we’re not going to put up with it, that this pipeline is going to be stopped and our people are going to continue to fight back.” Meanwhile, Vancouverites rallied this weekend as part of cross-Canada solidarity protests. Though much smaller than their Toronto counterparts, several dozen people held banners and marched around the intersection near Commercial-Broadway SkyTrain station on Saturday afternoon.

One dead, two injured after car hits cyclists Police say a man is dead after a car crashed into a group of cyclists in Richmond. Richmond RCMP say a group of six cyclists was travelling along River Road when they were hit. A 33-year-old man from Vancouver was declared dead at the scene, while two cyclists were taken to hospital and three others suffered minor injuries. Police say a 39-yearold man is listed in critical condition and a 46-yearold man is listed in serious condition. THE CANADIAN PRESS Pupils see the humour in gender-neutral bathroom A gender-neutral bathroom in a Maple Ridge high school is providing some chuckles with a lesson in hygiene. A large, blue sticker on the washroom door has an image of a person wearing both pants and a dress standing next to a person in a wheelchair. Underneath it reads: “Whatever. Just wash your hands.” Some students at Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary School came up with the idea as part of an art project. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Metro | Vancouver The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs said it “rejects and repudiates” a federal minister’s comments suggesting that only indigenous consultation — not consent — is needed for controversial pipelines to go ahead. That flies in the face of both the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and a spate of Supreme Court decisions, said the 110-member organization’s president Grand Chief Stewart Phillip. He called Minister of Natural Resources Jim Carr’s remarks last Thursday “asinine,”

Outrage as minister calls consultation sufficient
Trans Mountain pipeline expansion would nearly triple the flow of diluted bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to the Burrard Inlet and increase oil tanker traffic sevenfold. But a federally appointed panel asked to review the Trans Mountain process found widespread concerns among First Nations over the proposal, even among “many” of those who signed letters of support for the project. Asked about his government’s policy on free, prior and informed consent — a centrepiece of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, which Canada ratified last spring — Carr replied: “Well, we believe that to meaningfully consult and accommodate indigenous peoples in the context of these energy reviews is the principal responsibility of the Government of Canada,” he said Thursday. “That’s what we have done, and that’s what we’ll continue to do.”

Canada
Post-election diplomacy Canada’s neighbour elects a new president on Tuesday with either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to take up residence in the White House. Each are proposing different agendas for the U.S. that pose questions, opportunities and challenges to cross-border relations. HILLARY CLINTON Trade Frustrations over the long-running dispute over softwood lumber could receive a boost with Clinton in the White House, as Gordon Giffin, a former U.S. ambassador to Canada, predicts Clinton would want to resolve the years-long impasse with a longterm agreement. Clinton is also likely to look for changes to the Trans-Pacific Partnership having expressed criticisms on the campaign trail to maintain support from Bernie Sanders backers. Immigration Canada could find itself an ally in Clinton over efforts to relocate thousands of Syrian refugees in Jordan, Turkey and Europe. During the last year, more than 33,000 Syrian refugees have come to Canada, the immigration department says, including 12,000 privately sponsored refugees.
the canadian press
DONALD TRUMP
Trade Trump has been adamant that NAFTA will be no more if he can’t have the document amended to his liking, and is against the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Cross-border trade could be thrown into disarray if he follows through on the promises.

Overall Despite Canada’s best efforts, Canadian interests could be sidelined while Clinton deals with more pressing domestic issues like resistance to her supreme court nominees, FBI agents looking through her emails, and congressional Republicans who will work to thwart her agenda at every turn.
Security Canada’s Syrian refugee policy could complicate work to make it easier to move goods and people across the border given Trump’s proposals for “extreme vetting” of Muslims from countries with terrorist ties, or to suspend visa to citizens from countries with inadequate security screening. Trump also promises to implement a biometric tracking system. Overall Given Canadian public opinion polls that show respondents fa-

vour Clinton over Trump, it’s not farfetched to say the Liberals are hoping the Republican candidate doesn’t win on Tuesday. Giffin says a Trump presidency wouldn’t be a fatal blow to Canada-U.S. relations: It may be a little rough at the outset based on Trump’s tough stances on trade and immigration, but would smooth out over time.

UN shines a light on sponsorship program The Al Zhouri family arrived in the Nova Scotia town of Antigonish last January as part of the first wave of Syrian refugees to Canada. The five-member clan had lost a home and the family construction business due to fighting in the city of Homs. They were clinging to hope after three years spent struggling to survive in Lebanon. But nearly 10 months after arriving in Canada as privately sponsored refugees, the Al Zhouris are thriving. Father Toufic, a carpenter by trade, is making plans to rebuild the family business. Mother Rabiaa, a teacher who launched an alterations and upholstery business, recently completed a rush job sewing names and numbers onto the jerseys of the St. Francis Xavier University’s men’s ice hockey team. The three children, Majd, Aghyad and Ranim, are busy with high school studies, making up for the time they lost in between their old home and their new one. “Now I am more than proud to say that Antigonish is our second home, Majd, 20, said in
a recent interview. “Everyone in my family agrees with me.” The Al Zhouri family’s experience as privately sponsored refugees — as well as those of several other families across Canada — is being highlighted internationally by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in a publicity campaign set to launch in mid-November. The campaign will feature a number of Syrian refugee families who have settled across Canada over the course of the last year, officials said. The production crew has filmed in Nova Scotia, Ontario and the Yukon, among other places. The goal of the campaign is to promote a unique-in-the-world program that allows Canadian sponsors to apply to bring specific refugees to the country with the understanding that all basic expenses and resettlement support will be provided for one year after their arrival. Hundreds of thousands of refugees have arrived under the program since its creation in 1979. As of Oct. 23, the federal government says that 33,239 Syrian refugees have been resettled in Canada.

Watching the election will never be the same. While many will still tune into cable networks to follow the U.S. presidential results after voting ends, new technology and a breach of an unwritten rule in media mean some people will already have a good idea of the winner. Real-time voting results, using methods that mimic internal campaign projections, will be publicly available for the first time Tuesday. For decades, by convention, American television networks have refused to report exit poll data before voting closed in a particular state, under the belief that it might influence electors. This year, Slate.com is breaking that taboo, but they’re taking

it further. Instead of using exit polls, which have proven to be notoriously inaccurate, Slate is teaming up with pollsters and digital strategists recruited from both parties to publish election results while polls are still open. The project, called Votecastr, conducts extensive polling before the election, producing a detailed picture of likely outcomes in selected districts and even individual voting stations. Then thousands of workers are
deployed to report voter turnout over the course of the day. By combining live voter turnout with the earlier polling, Votecastr can gauge if Hillary Clinton supporters are coming out in strong numbers and if Donald Trump voters have decided to stay home. This method, employed by presidential campaigns for decades, has proven to be a remarkably accurate predictor of actual results. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Air holds more than 90 times safe quantity of particulate India’s capital announced a slew of measures Sunday to combat the crippling air pollution that has engulfed the city, including closing down schools, halting construction and ordering that all roads be doused with water to settle dust. New Delhi, one of the world’s dirtiest cities, saw levels of PM2.5 — tiny particulate matter that can clog lungs — soar to over 900 micrograms per cubic metre on Saturday. That’s more than 90 times the level considered safe by the World Health Organization and 15 times the Indian government’s norms. The severe weekend pollution followed a week of constant grey smog.

He also said a coal-fuelled power plant on the edges of the city would be shut for 10 days. The other measures announced include a 10-day ban on the use of all diesel-powered electricity generators, except at places
such as hospitals and cellphone towers. Starting Thursday, all major roads in the city will be vacuum cleaned once a week, Kejriwal said. The chief minister also said people should avoid going outdoors until the pollution levels drop and should try to work from home. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Want to leave your financial planner? Be upfront When Deborah Ison decided to break up with her financial adviser last year, investment performance had nothing do with her decision. The 45-year-old human resources project manager from Burlington, Ont., was in the midst of a divorce and went to her adviser with pressing questions about her financial obligations. But rather than addressing her concerns, she says, he quizzed her on investment risk tolerance and retirement goals. It was then and there that Ison decided to make a switch. “I had walked into this office pretty much a broken person. My entire future had done a 180. I didn’t know how I was going to pay my mortgage or my bills or my debts,” she says. “The furthest thing from my mind was my retirement. It seemed like an obtuse and insensitive question for him to be asking me.” Rona Birenbaum, a fee-only financial planner with Torontobased Caring for Clients, says experiences like Ison’s are often the catalyst for calling it quits with an adviser. “There’s two thing I always hear: ‘I feel like I’m always being sold to,’ or ‘I feel like I’m

Experts say it’s not a good idea to abruptly end the relationship with your adviser without a new one waiting. istock
being talked at or talked over.’ And so it’s a relationship matter,” she says. Notably, Birenbaum adds, clients’ expectations have changed over the last 10 years. “Whereas investors once looked to their adviser for pure investment advice, they’re now demanding more,” she says — whether that’s tax efficiency, debt payment tips, choosing to invest with RRSPs or TFSAs, or questions about what type of lifestyle they can afford right now. “So they’re less focused on the product selection and the product choice as they are around the whole money management and lifestyle planning matters.” Tom Feigs, a money coach in Calgary, says that if you do find yourself at a crossroad with
your adviser, take the time to figure how your expectations aren’t being met. “Be clear if it’s fees or communication and if it’s something that can be fixed,” he says. By no means should people abruptly end the relationship without having a new adviser waiting in the wings, Feigs stresses. “You don’t want to be in limbo.” If you’re firm on leaving your adviser, says Birenbaum, it’s often worthwhile to be honest and upfront about it. While you’re under no obligation to do that — a new adviser can handle all the transfer paperwork on your behalf — it could save time and money. Many investors are surprised by the out-of-pocket expenses that can come with switching advisers. THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE QUESTION
I took in a bloodhound who lunges, howls and drools on people and other pooches. What should I do? Dear Ellen, I recently ended up taking care of a bloodhound who needed a home. I live downtown in a building with other dogs and elevators. Sometimes my dog is great. But other times, even at the dog park, she lunges and howls at other dogs. Then, frequently, she shakes her head sending cascades of drool flying into the air that land on people and pooches alike (this is also a frequent problem on any elevator trip). Other than dragging her away with head slightly lowered and apologizing profusely, what can I say to someone in this situation? Regards, polite owner of a rude, soggy doggy Dear Polite Owner, This letter is going to be a challenge for me, because I hate dogs. To be more accurate, I hate other people’s badly trained dogs. They bark incessantly. They jump up on my clean clothes and their claws pull threads in my sweaters. Your essential daily news
Their breath stinks. Their fur stinks. They pass gas in the car. They lick their private parts, then shove their snouts in your face. Most revolting of all these behaviours is when they drag their rumps across the floor trying to scratch a posterior itch. I’ve been bitten twice. I’ve never been struck by flying bloodhound drool, but I will gladly add that disgusting possibility to my list of reasons to hate canines.

Now that I’ve got all that off my chest, I’ll back up and say, okay, I don’t actually hate dogs. I grew up with a border collie, who shed and stank and nipped at the heels of a passerby once in an irrepressible herding instinct, which got him sent to the farm. (Not a euphemism in this case. I saw pictures of him on the farm and he seemed happy there.) But I still loved him, so I understand how other owners might not view their

own pets as the demon spawn I think they are. It’s similar to the problem of noisy, aggressive, badly trained children. They can be repulsive and nobody wants to be around them, but it’s their keepers who must be held accountable. Thus with your bloodhound. It’s considerate of you to notice the discomfort of others when your beast lunges at people and sprays them with saliva. But feeling bad about it isn’t good enough. And few things are more annoying to us victims than a dog owner shrieking “Oh god I’m so sorry no Rexy no!” the whole time we’re being subjected to a barking, lunging, expectorating hound. The proper etiquette here is to keep the dog away from anyone she might bother. Make sure you ride alone in the elevator, stepping off if necessary when someone else gets on. Avoid other people and their dogs in the park. In situations where you can’t avoid proximity to human spittle targets, put a muzzle on your mutt. If you refuse to use a muzzle, walk the dog at 4 a.m. when no one else is around. Inflicting a badly trained dog on other people is not only rude. It’s also unfair to well-trained dogs, who get lumped in and demonized with the bad ones. If you can’t do it for us humans, do it for dogkind.

Time to get baking, Bill: First First Man’s to-do list Vicky Mochama Metro
Someone on Twitter joked that Hillary Clinton should ask Michelle Obama to stay on as first lady. It’s not a bad idea: The Obamas are staying in Washington, D.C., after Barack leaves the Oval Office, so it’s not like the commute will be too difficult. Instead, we’re looking at getting Bill Clinton as first gentleman. Personally, I want to see Bill Clinton reading to children in the Rose Garden. I want him on morning shows talking about his love for organic honey. I want media coverage of his health regimen and decorating style. I want to call him Bill or Billy Boy or Grandpa Bill. I want Bill to do what Hillary did for him: Put aside decades of expertise and support the office of the president. For most of their marriage, Bill’s career has defined their lives. As Hillary has ascended into the political forefront, Bill has occupied his time with charity initiatives and speaking gigs. There have been policyminded first ladies, but they have traditionally wielded soft power. When they attempted to be a much more political presence, they’ve been rebuffed. Eleanor Roosevelt worried being first lady would be constricting, but more than any other, she made the role into a public and positive good. Lady Bird Johnson per-
fected this template. A shrewd businesswoman and political mind, Lyndon B. Johnson’s wife lobbied Congress on beautifying the nation’s highways. It wasn’t exactly a hard sell, but the experience she gained there became an asset when she campaigned for her husband’s legislative agenda, especially the Civil Rights Act. Hillary Clinton tried to walk a similar line. As first lady, she travelled the country to advocate for healthcare reform. Her popularity plummeted. Afterwards, she switched to a softer focus on children’s health and international human rights. Each first lady has innovated on the job, and it may soon be Bill’s turn. His historic role should be a chance to redefine masculinity. Not only do little boys and girls need to see what a female president looks like, but also what it means for her to be supported fully by her partner. So I want to see Bill Clinton on Ellen DeGeneres dancing away. I need to see his Snapchats from inside the White House kitchens. I demand that Bill Clinton head down to Sesame Street to teach us about the letter P. Of course, it must be said that if the forces of evil triumph, Melania Trump will likely be a traditional first lady. She has already pitched that one of her causes would be to tackle cyberbullying. Maybe she’ll start by changing Donald’s Twitter password.

Rise of everyday heroines
From lawyer to doctor, detective to superhero, queen to witch, television is rife with powerful women. But sometimes they’re too competent, too successful, too unnaturally beautiful for us to connect with them. Enter — the reasonably competent heroine. She can be sassy, inappropriate, insecure or indecisive, but she is always heartbreakingly real. Watching her is fascinating, instead of frustrating. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Mindy Lahiri
The title character in a Latina-dominated show, Jane (Gina Rodriguez) knows her dreams and stops at nothing to attain them. Never mind the fact she is raising a newborn child, juggling a complicated love life, attending grad school and, at 24 years old, still figuring out who she is and where she’s going. She is goofy, easily excited and emotional, and she is utterly lovely.
When her soon-to-be husband suggests Mindy (Mindy Kaling) stay home with their son, the doctor reminds him that work is also crucial to her identity as a woman and the two realities need not be mutually exclusive. She lives for the superficial and the unhealthy but her competent quirkiness is what makes her so lovable.

Trying to raise three daughters alone, navigate a love life and a career, and keep one’s head above water isn’t easy for anyone, but Sam trucks through with a quirky cynicism and emotional depth lightened by refreshing optimism and humour.
She’s lazy, brash and doesn’t always know how to be a professional. You’re the Worst’s anti-heroine represents all that is good and bad about being a young woman, and does so sharply and cleanly, with the shaky self-awareness that characterizes so many of us. Most poignantly, Gretchen (Aya Cash) has a believable depression diagnosis, one that makes her neither victim nor villain. shameless

Rebecca Bunch
Kate Pearson
This satirical musical comedy pokes fun at the sexist phrase its name derives from while dispelling stereotypes and celebrating the unusual. Protagonist Rebecca (Rachel Bloom), who decides on a whim to leave a high-paying New York job to move to sleepy West Covina, Calif., where her ex-boyfriend lives, is at times high strung, awkward, overzealous, oblivious and over-emotional, but these traits do not make her “crazy.” Rebecca’s penchant for goodness remind viewers that following wild dreams is sometimes just what we need.
Kate (Chrissy Metz), who struggles with feelings of low self-esteem, seems an ideal heroine for this list. She manages the good feelings and the bad as they come; she is often insecure and occasionally hot-tempered, but she is passionate about nurturing her new relationship, and is a loyal, steadfast support to her twin brother.

Television inequality
Report looks at gender imbalance in film and TV directing The number of male directors working in Canadian film and TV “is alarmingly disproportionate,” suggests a new report, which calls for an industry-wide shift to fix the gender imbalance. Amanda Coles, author of the report for the Canadian Unions for Equality on Screen, says gender equality needs to be put at the centre of the mandates of all major film and TV institutions. “There is no one basket of solutions that’s going to move
this forward and we need foundational change,” says Coles, who calls for action from leaders at the Canada Media Fund, Telefilm Canada and the CRTC. “I know that sounds trite, but this is a very complicated, deeply rooted social problem in sexism and racism, and so we need to go at this from a number of levers.” The report is a followup to 2013’s Focus on Women study, a quantitative workforce analysis featuring data on gender inequal-

ities within the screen-based industry. The new report is more qualitative, focusing on directors in the Canadian film and TV industries with the aim of finding
out why inequalities exist and providing solutions. In February 2015, Coles interviewed 18 directors — seven men, 11 women — with different levels of experience and work across a wide range of genres. She found that stereotypes around women’s leadership disadvantaged them in key roles in film and TV. “So when you think ‘director’ you think male,” she says, noting one director told her, “they
never say we’re getting a straight white guy to come in next week, we just assume that there’s a straight white guy. He’s wearing a baseball cap, he’s wearing Levi’s.’ That’s the assumption of a director. Coles notes that the pathways into directing are male-dominated, resulting in a “systemic advantage” for “white men” when it comes to hiring and financing in film and TV. “Men are seen to be a less risky
investment for directing than female directors,” says Coles. “When you look at the proportion of female directors in things like shorts, independent features, it’s much higher. When you get to episodic television and then major feature films — by the time you get to major feature films, it’s four per cent.” That four per cent figure was an analysis of major Hollywood, American-financed films shot globally.

Backroom plots THE SHOW: Frontier, S1, E2 (Discovery) THE MOMENT: The Alliance
In the late 1700s, the fur trade monopoly that England has enjoyed in Canada via the Hudson’s Bay Company is being threatened by American, Scottish and French interests. Captain Chesterfield (Evan Jonigkeit), a British soldier who just killed a Scotsman for undermining the HBC, plots with Grace (Zoe Boyle), a tavern owner -and information trader — in Fort James. “Interesting approach you have to problem solving,” Grace says. “I respect a man whose actions are decisive. Have you given our partnership some thought?” “What do you have in mind?” Chesterfield asks. She suggests skimming a few bundles of pelts from each shipment that comes into the fort.” “How exactly does this lead to me becoming governor?” Chesterfield asks.

“If you want to be in charge, you’ll need money, and plenty of it,” she answers. “And you’ll need to discredit Lord Benton in the eyes of London.” This Canadian-American coproduction is Discovery’s first original scripted series (in the U.S., it airs on Netflix). Handsomely made, populated with great-looking, mostly young actors, and knee-deep in blood thanks to near-constant hacking (knives, hatchets, etc.), it clearly aspires to be a non-fiction Game of Thrones (Game of Furs?). But thanks to its many scenes of backroom plotting, its evershifting alliances and deadly betrayals, the series Frontier reminds me of most is a hyper-real, period version of… Survivor. Imagine the promo: “Survivor 1770: The New World. Count me in.

Ravens trip up Big Ben in return nfl
Roethlisberger delivers too late for Steelers The Baltimore Ravens frustrated longtime nemesis Ben Roethlisberger long enough to build a three-touchdown lead. By the time Roethlisberger finally found his groove, it was too late. Joe Flacco threw a 95-yard touchdown pass to former Steeler Mike Wallace, and the Ravens beat Pittsburgh 21-14 on Sunday to snap a four-game losing streak. Baltimore (4-4) moved into a tie atop the AFC North with the Steelers (4-4), who have dropped three in a row. “This was the kind of win that we need,” said receiver Steve Smith, who returned from an ankle injury to catch four passes for 47 yards. Three weeks after undergoing surgery on his right knee, Roethlisberger returned well ahead of schedule. Playing for the first time since Oct. 16, the 13year veteran looked out of sync until the fourth quarter, when he directed a 75-yard drive that got the Steelers to 21-7 with 8:38 remaining.

Before that, Pittsburgh’s offence produced only two first downs and was limited to 69 yards. The Steelers totalled 36 yards rushing, 32 by Le’Veon Bell.

closed out its fourth straight win over Pittsburgh (including playoffs). “The bottom line is we put ourselves in a big hole with some adversity, some of which was created by us,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. After going 8-for-18 for 54 yards and an interception through three quarters, Roethlisberger finished 23-for-45 for 264 yards. Flacco completed 18 of 30 passes for 241 yards to help Baltimore earn its first win since Sept. 25, at Jacksonville. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
