Quick-possession homes often provide better vAlue The winds of change are blowing through Calgary’s real estate market. As families look for homes with great value, many are finding that quick-possession homes strike a the balance they need between high quality homes and prices they can afford. Many buyers are discovering the advantages of buying a move-in ready home. Rather than selecting a new home based on rendered images, because the home hasn’t been built yet, buyers of quick-possession homes can often visit the actual house they’ll be purchasing. The specifications are often upgraded. Since developers often select the fixtures and finishings on behalf of the buyers, they may be able to offer upgrades and standard features that are higher quality than you might get with a development that hasn’t been built yet.
Buyers can also visit and find out exactly what they’re getting into — visit the local
Calgary’s Northwest is an up-and-coming place to buy a home in the city, and nowhere is that more evident than in the award-winning community of Evanston. The community’s combination of value and quality is catching on among Calgarians. The Link, a 124-home development at Evanston, is already 60 per cent sold out. And the value is clear. Homes at The Link at Evanston start from the mid-$200,000s, plus GST. The Sienna home model is a fine example of a quick-possession home available now. The two- or three-bedroom homes range from 1,417 to 1,439 square feet and include two and a half bathrooms.
Convenience was a key concept built into the homes from the start. The master bedroom in every Sienna home features a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom, making everyday life that much easier. The developed sunroom is the perfect place to curl up with a book. Meanwhile, the large kitchen is your blank slate for cooking and entertaining, featuring a large kitchen island, stainless steel appliances and maple flat panel cabinets. Laminate and tile flooring underfoot ensures durable and easy-to-clean surfaces that also bring style into your home. Designer colour schemes are another stylish addition. When you buy at The Link at Evanston, you can customize your home with your choice of three designer

be like to live there. Many quick-possession homes are going up in established communities, including up-andcoming neighbourhoods in Airdrie and other areas outside of Calgary. Homes based outside of Calgary can offer more competitive pricing. Many home developers offer their quick-possession homes with incredible discounts in an effort to get them sold. You can find great deals now from builders in Calgary that are looking to sell their move-in ready homes before the new year. You might be surprised to find a sense of community that’s equal to or better than what you’d find in Calgary. Perhaps the biggest advantage of buying a quick-possession home is that you can move in within days. It’s an exceptional convenience, and many Calgary families are taking notice.

Airdrie’s most desirable address A beautiful home isn’t complete without a great address. Cooper’s Crossing is a community based in Airdrie that has everything you’ll need in a new home.
The word “green” describes the neighbourhood well. Cooper’s Crossing is rich in open green space, with tree-lined streets and manicured landscaping. You can get anywhere you need from here. Cooper’s Crossing network of walking paths will connect you to schools, parks, playgrounds and ponds. First-class recreational amenities, shops and services are all within walking distance.
Single-family living is now within reach for homebuyers who are looking for an affordable home where their family can thrive. Only 10 homes remain of the collection of Vesta Properties duplex homes in Cooper’s Crossing, a prestigious, estate-style neighbourhood. And you can move in today. The two-floor plans available range from 1,600 to over 1,700 square feet and start at $389,900, including GST. “It’s an incredible price for the quality you’ll get,” says A.J. van der Linden, sales manager at Vesta Properties. “If you’re looking for a new home in Airdrie that will tick all the boxes — space, room to grow, cleverly planned living areas, beautiful finishes, and most of all, an affordable price — you’ll find it here,” says van der Linden. “And best of all, they’re move-in ready now.” There are no cookie-cutter homes here. Buyers can choose a home in one of eight stylish elevations, which will create rich variety with the sophisticated theme of the Cooper’s Crossing streetscape. The Vesta duplex homes at Cooper’s Crossing come in a variety of floorplans to suit the needs and tastes of buyers and their families. The homes each include three bedrooms and three bathrooms with a convenient main floor powder room. Additional space with a den is an optional addition in some models.
These homes were designed for single-family living at its finest. The open-concept design and nine-foot ceilings on the main floor will give homebuyers room to breathe — and work, play and socialize. Buyers will have their choice of three designer-coordinated colour schemes to move into a home that suite their own tastes. The beautiful gourmet kitchen is designed to become the informal social hub of the house, with a spacious island and flush breakfast bar, designer laminate flooring, flat-panel hardwood cabinetry, beautiful granite counters and tile backsplash, and modern stainless steel appliances. In the bathroom, homebuyers will enjoy the spa-inspired soaker tubs, vanities with undermounted sinks and a spacious walk-in closet connecting to a luxurious master bedroom. Homebuyers get all the comforts of a singlefamily home, including separate laundry room, detached rear garage and private back yard. Homes are just as attractive on the outside, with sophisticated cultured stone and genuine brick accents. From the street, visitors will admire the handsome columns and heritage-style doors, which give the homes a sense of tradition and sophistication. Find out more about Vesta Collection by visiting their website at vestacollection.com or call 403-926-3842 for your private tour of these beautiful new homes.

MOVE-IN READY: NEW HOMES
Affordable townhomes to grow in Affordable city living doesn’t have to mean a small apartment space on a crowded city block. There’s one place in Calgary where you can get the quality you’d expect in a sophisticated city home, plus the space you need to grow your family. Legend of Legacy by Aldebaran Homes is a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes located in south Calgary’s newest community, called Legacy. “Our townhomes are a unique product perfect for homebuyers who are looking for more space, but don’t want to compromise on quality,” says Kristina Hoover, sales and marketing
manager of Aldebaran Homes. “Our materials, �ixtures and �inishes are designer-quality in a home that will give you room to breathe.” At Legend of Legacy, the space speaks for itself. Many of the townhomes are wider than most townhomes, and two �loorplans come with a double-attached garage. “You’ll feel like you’re living in a detached house,” Hoover says. The quality starts with the construction. Party walls ensure sound and heat insulation, and double-glazed windows will keep you warmer in the winter while helping you save on your energy bills.
The �ibre-cement based and vinyl siding are maintenance-free and the roof comes with a 30year manufacturer’s warranty. The quality exterior materials include wooden decks �inished with Duradek, and durable cultured stone. Inside, the homes are just as well-built, including laminate �loors, stainless steel appliances, contemporary light �ixtures, a full ceramic kitchen backsplash and more. For a limited time, the development is offering major price reductions of up to $30,000 on quick-possession homes, plus many more incentives. Find out more at aldebaranhomes.com/ calgary-projects.

Stand the test of time Legend of Legacy isnʼt just a name — itʼs a philosophy. “We believe that every buyer deserves a home that will last for decades in a community that grows with them and their family,” says Kristina Hoover of Aldebaran Homes. The townhomes at Legend of Legacy are located in the estate area of the Legacy community, a prime area with ridge lots and beautiful surrounding landscapes. Itʼs estate living at half the price. The development is rich with green space for residents to enjoy, including 1,100 acres of land, including trails for hiking or biking. Itʼs the perfect place to enjoy nature close to home. The community has been masterplanned to stand the test of time, with open spaces for neighbours to meet and mingle. Everything youʼll need is located nearby too, including south Calgaryʼs great restaurants to state-of-the-art health centres, schools, golf courses and athletic facilities. Legend of Legacy is also a great jumping-off point for those who love hiking, with Kananaskis Country and the Rocky Mountains just a short drive away. The builder, Aldebaran Homes, specializes in community-centric homes. The family-run business cares about its clients and has been operating in Calgary for 30 years. The Aldebaran team is dedicated to providing excellent customer service, focusing on building just one multifamily housing development a year. “We want our customers to feel like they are part of the Aldebaran family,” says Hoover.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton steps away from a voting booth after voting at Douglas G. Griffin School Tuesday in Chappaqua, New York. AFP/Getty Images
A gender gap with a capital ‘G’ Non-collegeeducated white men flock to Donald Trump
Hillary Clinton’s quest to become the first woman president produced a gender gap with a capital “G” — but the noncollege-educated white men flocking to Donald Trump had a lot to do with it. Tuesday’s election was on track to produce one of the largest gender gaps since 1972, when the first national exit poll was taken. The gender gap for Clinton — the difference between the number of men who voted for her and the number of women
who voted for her — hit 13 percentage points in preliminary results of exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research. Clinton’s support among women was roughly even with the support that women gave Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. The bigger factor in this year’s wide gender gap: less-educated white men, who favoured Trump far more heavily than they did Republican Mitt Romney in 2012 or GOP nominee John McCain in 2008. Trump, who once famously declared that he loved the uneducated, got plenty of love from white voters who never graduated from college: He got 7 in 10 votes from non-collegeeducated white men and 6 in 10
votes from non-college-educated white women. Clinton, meanwhile, got the support of less than a quarter of white men without a college degree; Obama, by contrast, drew about a third of their votes four years ago. Clinton did make some inroads with college-educated white women. Just over half supported her, while four years ago just over half of that group had backed Romney. Other findings from the exit poll: MILLENNIAL MAGIC Clinton managed to hang on to the millennials who were such a big part of Obama’s winning coalition. Young people age 18-29 supported Clinton over Trump by nearly as strong a margin as their support of Obama over Romney in 2012.
Those between 30 and 44 also were much more likely to support Clinton than Trump. Trump won the favour of those 45 and over. Holding their noses Americans held their noses as they picked between Clinton and Trump: More than half of voters cast their ballots with reservations about their candidate or because they disliked the others running. That was true both for those backing Democrat Hillary Clinton and those supporting Republican Donald Trump, the exit polls showed After a long, hard-fought campaign, just 4 out of 10 voters strongly favoured their candidate. That’s a marked shift from 2012, when about two-thirds of voters said they were voting because
they strongly favoured their candidate. The prospect of a Clinton or Trump victory was downright scary to plenty of voters: Seven in 10 Clinton voters said they’d feel scared by Trump victory; 6 in 10 Trump voters felt the same about a Clinton win. Women’s issues vs. email issues After all of the sound and fury over Trump’s treatment of women, it turned out the issue bothered half of all voters a lot — and women were more concerned about it than men. About 6 in 10 women were bothered a lot, compared to about 4 in 10 men, the exit poll found. The partisan divide on the issue was stark: More than 8 in 10 Clinton voters were bothered
a lot by the GOP candidate’s treatment of women, compared to about 1 in 10 Trump voters. It turned out voters were somewhat less concerned about Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state. That issue mattered a lot to about four in 10 voters, including about 9 in 10 Trump voters. Less than 1 in 10 Clinton’s supporters were bothered a lot. TO BE HONEST ... Neither Trump nor Clinton gets bragging rights when it comes to honesty. About 6 out of 10 voters said they don’t view Clinton as honest and about the same share felt the same way about Trump. Does anyone think both of these candidates are honest? That number was in single digits. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Clinton camp ponders President Donald Trump Cliffhanger
‘We can smell the win’ Campaign manager says An unexpectedly excellent showing by Trump in states around the country turned the U.S. presidential election into a tense Tuesday cliffhanger, with numerous key states too close to call at press time. The early results showed a nation riven by racial and geographic divisions, and they belied polls that suggested a comfortable victory for Hillary Clinton. By 9:30 p.m., it was clear that an astonishing Trump upset was highly possible — though he still needed several states to go his way. A Trump victory would give immense power to an erratic, never-elected Republican businessman whose behaviour and policy positions have alarmed much of the world and who would face no organized opposition in Congress. Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives and appeared likely
to keep the Senate. Trump managed to eke out a lead in Florida, one of his must-win states, on the strength of high white turnout in rural counties. He won Ohio, where he had led for much of the past month, and North Carolina, where polls had shown a dead heat. “Absolutely buoyant,” Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, told Yahoo News. “We can smell the win.” Clinton, vying to become the first female president, carried Virginia and New Mexico, where she had been expected to win. She still had a path to victory as of 10:30 p.m., but her so-called “blue wall” in long-Democratic northern states had dissipated in the face of what appeared to be a Trump wave. Clinton and President Barack Obama had called for a comprehensive rejection of Trumpism — his disparagement of women and minority groups, his disdain for democratic norms, his rage. Instead, it appeared the best she could hope for was a squeaker of a victory. Trump was dominant with rural and exurban white vot-
ers, compensating for a surge in Hispanic support in favour of Clinton. Win or lose, his competitiveness was a remarkable achievement for a candidate who has outraged much of the country. To pull it off, Trump needed upset wins in states where he had long trailed — some combination of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nevada and New Hampshire. His initial numbers in most of them looked better than most polls had forecast, with Michigan particularly worrisome for Clinton. Mathematical models, crunching polling data, had given the former secretary of state, senator and first lady anywhere between a 70-percent and 99-per-cent chance of winning. By 9:30 p.m., the New York Times forecast was down to 50-50. By 10 p.m., the forecast gave Trump a 63-percent chance. Clinton held her “victory” party at a New York City convention centre with a glass ceiling, a metaphor for the gender barrier she had hoped to break. But the mood in the mood turned glum fast. “So this isn’t fun,” Jon
Favreau, former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, wrote on Twitter. Stock markets tanked on the early results; investors have made clear their preference for Clinton stability over Trump’s promise of radical change. But much of America rejected the global consensus. Trump, who was widely considered a laughingstock when he launched his candidacy with a rambling speech in June of last year, defied the odds and the pundits again, just as he said he would. Trump thrilled millions of white voters with his outragecourting refusal to be “politically correct,” his vow to restore a bygone era of American glory, and scorched-earth attacks on elites, Muslims and immigration. The former reality television star managed to stay in the running despite an incessant stream of scandals, gaffes, lies and insults that would have sunk any traditional politician. And he did so while running far fewer ads than Clinton. He was thriving on the strength of his persona and message alone. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
World reacts to American election China Chinese state media outlets are casting the U.S. election as the embodiment of America’s democracy in crisis in contrast to China’s perceived stability under authoritarian rule. The state-run Xinhua News Agency says the campaign has highlighted that, in its words, “the majority of Americans are rebelling against the U.S.’s political class and financial elites.” The official Communist Party newspaper People’s Daily says in a commentary that the presidential election reveals an “ill democracy.” On Tuesday, the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV ran man-onthe-street interviews with unidentified American voters in which they expressed disgust with the system and dissatisfaction with both candidates. MEXICO The Mexican peso has fallen sharply against the U.S. dollar as early returns show a tight race for the White House. Financial research firm FactSet says the currency is currently trading at 20.45 to the dollar. The Bank of Mexico’s interbank rate stood at 18.42 at the end of Tuesday’s trading day. The peso has closely tracked the U.S. presidential race during the campaign, hardening when Clinton’s chances are seen as bullish and weakening when
Donald Trump is seen as rising. Financial analyst Gabriela Siller of Banco BASE issued a forecast Tuesday that a Trump victory could cause the peso to fall to 24 to the dollar next year and lead to a 3 per cent economic contraction in Mexico. Trump has threatened to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement and vows to build a wall along the United States’ southern border and force Mexico to pay for it. JAPAN Japanese are tweeting about their interest in the U.S. election, and retweeting developments, though not everyone is happy. One Twitter user complains: “The U.S. presidential election is the only thing I can see on any channel!” Several major television stations have suspended their regular morning programming to cover the vote, with a running tally of results and explanations of the U.S. electoral vote system. A dramatic sinkhole in Fukuoka city eclipsed the U.S. election on the front pages of Japan’s major newspapers, but online editions and media such as Yahoo! Japan have launched special election pages. The Nikkei economic newspaper calls it an “unprecedentedly heated U.S. presidential election.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Polling station drama on election day voters
Trump campaign already alleges violations Long lines, malfunctioning machines, a Trump campaign lawsuit, allegations of voter harassment and a shooting that locked down two California polling stations — for American voters on Tuesday, an ugly and messy election season came to an ugly and messy end. Fears of widespread election-
day violence failed to materialize on Tuesday, though Californians endured a few tense hours after gunfire erupted near a polling station in Azusa, a city 40 kilometres east of Los Angeles. The shooting forced the lockdown of two polling stations but police said late Tuesday that it was unrelated to the election and they still had no motive. The gunman and a male victim in his 70s were killed, with two other people injured; at least one of the victims was also on their way to vote, the Los Angeles Times reported. But outside of Azusa, U.S. voters encountered more typical polling station dramas: long line-

ups, malfunctioning machines, assorted annoyances and isolated pockets of voter harassment. The day did begin, however, with a Donald Trump trademark: a lawsuit. Early Tuesday, the Republican candidate’s campaign filed a lawsuit in Nevada — one of several states that allows early voting — alleging that voters were allowed to cast their ballots past deadline last week. In Nevada, people standing in line when the polls close at 8 p.m. are allowed to cast their ballots. The Trump campaign is alleging, however, that election officials violated state law by allowing people to join the line
even after the cut off time. The lawsuit — which was rejected quickly by a Nevada judge — was widely perceived as an attempt to suppress Hispanic voters in an important swing state. The polling station was located outside of a Mexican supermarket in Las Vegas, a Clinton stronghold. While election day was largely peaceful, civil rights groups logged a high number of complaints from voters reporting harassment or suppression. As of early Tuesday evening, some 30,000 calls already had been received by a national voter complaint hotline; according to civil
rights groups, a large proportion of them were from African-American and Latino voters. According to Election Protection, an organization operating a hotline, voters complained about being directed to the wrong polling places, learning that their names had been purged from voter rolls, being wrongly told to fill out provisional ballots, and being improperly asked for identification or forced to wait in long lines. Voters in Florida’s also reported people “using megaphones aggressively” and in Jacksonville, an “unauthorized individual” was also found inside a polling station, accord-
ing to Kristen Clarke, president of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, during a press conference. There were also reports in Hollywood, Fla., of “aggressive individuals hovering around” voters as the approached polling sites, she added. “Some have turned away because they did not feel able to freely cast (a) ballot.” A few skirmishes were also reported Tuesday. In Michigan, authorities had to break up a shoving match between a Hillary Clinton supporter and another voter supporting Trump. With files from torStar wire services

Trump shows trust issues as wife votes Luke Simcoe

A ‘most humbling feeling’ campaign
Clinton casts her vote, feels weight of huge occasion She’s delivered her closing pitch, concluded her final rally and cast her own vote. By Tuesday afternoon, there was little left Hillary Clinton to do but wait, and prepare for word of whether she’d be picked as the first woman to serve as U.S. president. Her campaign picked a suitably symbolic location for her
Election Night party — the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, which, in a nod to the historic moment, offers a glass ceiling. Casting her ballot at an elementary school near her home in suburban New York on Tuesday morning, the Democratic nominee acknowledged the weight of the day, saying: “so many people are counting on the outcome of this election.” It was a relatively calm Election Day compared with Clinton’s hectic final few days day on the campaign trail. The former secretary of state and New York senator dashed through battleground states, encour-
aged get-out-the-vote efforts and campaigned with a star-studded cast of celebrity supporters. The eve of the election included an emotional rally in Philadelphia with her husband, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, as well as performances by Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. Lady Gaga capped it off by serenading thousands of supporters before the Clintons took the stage for a 1 a.m. rally in Raleigh, North Carolina. After the divisive rhetoric of the campaign against Republican Donald Trump, Clinton sought to offer a positive closing message on Monday. She told
supporters in Pittsburgh they “can vote for a hopeful, inclusive, bighearted America.” In a buoyant mood, she also greeted voters who cried out “we love you,” smiling back: “I love you all, too ... absolutely.” Some good news boosted Clinton’s spirits in the final moments of the campaign. On Sunday, FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congress, informing lawmakers the bureau had found no evidence in its hurried review of newly discovered emails to warrant criminal charges against Clinton. The late October announcement of a fresh email review rocked the race just as Clinton
If his behaviour at the polls was any indication, Donald Trump wasn’t confident he had swayed the mind of the American electorate — or even his wife’s for that matter. A photo of Trump appearing to sneak a peek at Melania Trump’s ballot became one of the final online memes of the Republican candidate’s tumultuous campaign, and prompted some to wonder whether Trump’s spouse was secretly a Hillary Clinton fan. The couple voted Tuesday morning at a school in Manhattan. However, the photo-op backfired on Trump when social media users seized on the image of him glancing at his wife while she filled out her ballot. Comedian Chelsea Handler — a Clinton supporter — shared the image on Twitter with the caption “when you’re worried that your wife copied off Michelle again,” a reference to Melania Trump’s Republic convention speech that mirrored an earlier speech by First Lady Michelle Obama. Handler’s joke was retweeted over 23,000 times. Others shared the image with the hashtag #ImWithHer, suggesting Melania was voting for Clinton.
appeared to be pulling away from Trump in several battleground states. The update from the FBI may have come too late for some: In the nine days between Comey’s initial statement until his “all clear” announcement on Sunday, nearly 24 million people cast early ballots. That’s about 18 per cent of the expected total votes for president. She also campaigned with Khizr Khan, the father of a slain U.S. Army officer whose indictment of Trump at the Democratic National Convention was an emotional high point for Clinton’s party.
“When you trust your wife to vote for you, but not really” was another quip shared online with this photo.

Municipal election
leadership
Council looks to up voter turnout
Female candidates drop out of PC race
Brodie Thomas
Metro | Calgary A councillor’s plan to provide free transit on municipal election day has morphed into a larger plan to bolster voter turnout. Ward 9 Coun. Evan Woolley made the pitch to council to eliminate fares when Calgarians go to the polls next year. At a cost of $75,000, many councillors questions how effective it would be. Mayor Naheed Nenshi put forward a motion asking the city’s returning officer to explore options such as transit incentives, incentives for young voters, and the possibility of centralized voting stations on election day where citizens from any ward can vote. The returning officer will report back to council in the first quarter of 2017.
IN BRIEF Office space vacancy approaching 30 per cent Real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield is ranking Calgary with Moscow, Houston, and Aberdeen, Scotland, as the “oil-centric cities” whose downtown office real estate markets have been hardest hit by the global oil price shock. In a new report, it predicts the vacancy rate for downtown Calgary’s Class-A buildings will hit 27.5 per cent by the end of next year. The canadian press

Modest growth to economy predicted
RECOVERY
Calgary economists see a light at end of the tunnel Aaron Chatha
Metro | Calgary Two Calgary economists are expecting modest growth to return to Alberta in 2017. The key word there is modest. Glen Hodgson, with the Conference Board of Canada, and Todd Hirsch, chief economist at ATB Financial, spoke at the
annual Calgary Economic Development outlook for 2017, and agreed it looks like the worst is over for Alberta’s economy, but it’s not going to jump right back to the way it used to be.
talent in the city. “It’s easy for us to feel a sense of optimism — we’re staying focused on those green shoots of recovery that are starting to emerge,” said Moran.
Calgary right now As it stands, 25 per cent of downtown office space is vacant, unemployment rates are in the double digits, the price of oil is half of what it was two years ago and building permits are down by a third. That said, Calgary Economic Development CEO Mary Moran said she has about 100 leads for businesses looking to emerge, expand or relocate to Calgary — as there is a strong pool of
Growth in 2017 Hodgson and Hirsch noted a few reason to look forward to growth next year. Oil prices are expected to be stable. In the U.S. economy, Hodgson sees a consumer based recovery happening — which is good news for Canadians. “Because they buy our stuff,” laughed Hodgson, noting how much power American buying has for Canadian business. Locally, although the Fort Mc-
Murray fires were a great tragedy, the rebuilding process will prove to be a positive for the economy. “The income lost in Fort Mac is offset by people living in hotels, getting the payout from the insurance claims and beginning to rebuild,” Hodgson explained. Hirsch warns Albertans to temper their expectations — normal growth between 2010 and 2014, was at an average of 4.1 per cent. Going forward, he anticipates it being closer to 1.5 to 2.5 per cent — much more like a typical Canadian province. Hirsch also said while the economy recovers, the job market may not see improvements right away, as companies may be hesitant to start hiring.

The only two female candidates in the PC leadership race have now dropped out of the running. MLA Sandra Jansen and former MLA Donna Kennedy-Glans announced their withdrawals through statements on Tuesday afternoon. Jansen cited harassment throughout her campaign, and particularly this past weekend in Red Deer at the party’s annual policy meeting, as reasons for leaving the race. Jansen stated a hope for open dialogue and discussion of issues as a vital part of being a member of the PC party. “Sadly, this is not what I have experienced in the past few months,” she wrote. “My social media has been filled with filth, my domain name purchased to direct people to smear pieces on me and finally, this past weekend in Red Deer, the final straw. Insults were scrawled on my nomination forms. “Volunteers from another campaign chased me up and down the hall, attacking me for protecting women’s reproductive rights and my team was jeered for supporting children’s right to a safe school environment.” Jansen said she will now work behind the scenes to fight bullying tactics within the party. The former Calgary NorthWest MLA announced her candidacy in October. Kennedy-Glans, in a press notice, stated politics in Alberta is polarizing, with limited opportunity for centrist voices to be heard. “For that reason, and based on consultation with my volunteer team, I am withdrawing from the PC leadership race,” she wrote. aaron chatha/metro

Number of Zika cases double in Alberta since July Elizabeth Cameron
For Metro | Calgary There have been 39 confirmed cases of the Zika virus in Alberta this year. That’s a big jump from the previous numbers, with only one case confirmed in 2013. As of July this year, there were 15 reported cases of the virus in Alberta. Carolyn Ziegler, a spokes-
woman from Alberta Health, said all of the cases have resulted from travel. “Albertans continue to travel to areas where the Zika virus is circulating, so an increase in case numbers is not unexpected,” Ziegler said in an email. Alberta Health recommends visiting a travel health clinic six weeks before travelling, and taking steps to prevent mosquito bites when travel-
ling to affected areas, such as the Caribbean and Central America. Wear long-sleeved, loose-fitting clothes and use insect repellant on exposed skin to avoid mosquito bites. Travellers returning from an area with known Zika hot spots are asked to postpone blood donation for 21 days. “Canadian health experts have developed recommendations for returning travellers that can help prevent the
spread of Zika virus through blood or sexual contact. T h i s period before Number of lab blood confirmed donation cases of Zika in ensures Alberta this year. enough time has passed for the virus to be elimin-

ated from a person’s bloodstream,” said Ziegler. “Canadian Blood Services carefully screens all prospective donors to minimize the potential for transmission,” she added. The Canadian government recommends pregnant women, or those planning on becoming pregnant, should avoid travel to areas where the Zika virus is prevalent, including areas in Florida.
Officials do not believe that local mosquitoes are carrying the Zika virus. All cases are linked to travel. metro file

Hop-on, hopoff streetcar on table may serve university area Helen Pike
Metro | Calgary Zing zing zing went Mount Royal University’s heart strings. Back when the West LRT leg was in planning, Mount Royal University was pegged to be a part of the alignment, with access to LRT service. Instead, the school will have a Bus Rapid Transit route in the near future (2018) — the controversial Southwest BRT. And now, administration is saying there’s another option: a lowfloor, hop-on-hop-off streetcar. Although the LRT alignment missed campus, the city did keep open the possibility of a “spur” train line to connect the school and Westbrook Station. On Wednesday, councillors will hear about alignment options for the area. At some point, Calgary could see a route running from the Westbrook Blue Line station, west along 17 Avenue SW, down 37 Street SW towards Richardson Way with a final stop be-
tween Currie Barracks and Mount Royal University. “It’s going to be a very long process before that’s ready to go,” said Coun. Shane Keating, chair of the transportation and transit committee. Keating noted he’s not sure MRU would be the place to start with a streetcar, referencing areas that are more accessible for tourists. Coun. Richard Pootmans suggested thinking of the future of transportation — in a multidecade approach — as a spoke and wheel system that will take people from hub to hub. MRU manager of parking and transportation services Gerry McHugh sounded giddy about the city’s future planning. McHugh said by 2025 the school is looking to add another 4,000 students, and continues to expand its event space, drawing in huge crowds. Currie Barracks is growing and attracting vibrancy. “We have a huge opportunity to become part of that vibrant area and in that we would need additional support form the city in terms of transit,” said McHugh. “And a trolley? Cool! It’s got a vacationing feel to it, it would only add to the atmosphere.” He added the trains are a sustainable way to get people to the MRU area while taking vehicles off the road.

City has sidewalk fix plan Brodie Thomas
Metro | Calgary Calgary is facing a budget shortfall when it comes to repairing city sidewalks, but it has a plan to keep those walkways crack-free. According to a report from administration, the city has $25.8 million budgeted over the next two years for maintenance to sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Planners estimate it will take $35 million, however, to repair any assets in poor-tocritical condition. Administration is asking for council’s approval to explore other funding options to meet the shortfall. Ward 7 Coun. Druh Farrell has a soft spot for good sidewalks. She spurred the discussion with two notices of motion on concrete quality in November of last year, and she wants to see contractors held to account for sidewalk damage. She wants to make sure the concrete the city is getting lasts a reasonable amount of time. “How this first came to my attention — I was walking in the belt line and I saw a 110-year-old sidewalk and it was still in great shape — with dog prints in it,” she said. She said new concrete that’s being poured is crumbling more quickly, so she wants the city to monitor more closely during the warranty period. One trial the city is trying involves adding a strengthening fibre to concrete. “There’s a number of locations where they’ve tried it. For example, there’s fibre in the sidewalk in Heritage Park, by Gasoline Alley,” said Farrell. She’d even like to see the city look at low-carbon options on concrete, because the substance releases a lot of greenhouse gasses while it’s curing. The report is not all bad news. It says that 94.7 per cent of the city’s concrete assets are in good to very good condition. Citizen satisfaction for sidewalks is at 86 per cent in the downtown and 85 per cent in neighbourhoods.

Mom upset as search for daughter’s remains ends

Joey English’s body allegedly dismembered, parts spread Elizabeth Cameron
For Metro | Calgary A four-month search for Joey English’s body parts in a Calgary landfill has ended. “I feel confused, I’m still pretty broken,” said Stephanie English, Joey’s mother. “I wish (the police) were still looking for my daughter,” she said. Joey English’s dismembered body was discovered, in part, in a wooded-area near the Centre Street bridge in June. The cause of death is under investigation, and a spokesperson for the Calgary police said the tests required by the Chief Medical Examiner’s office will take six to eight months to complete. The body of the 25-year-old woman from the Piikani Nation in southern Alberta allegedly was dismembered and disposed of in multiple locations. English’s death is not believed to be criminal in nature, but Joshua Jordan Weise, 40, has been charged with one count of indignity to human remains. Weise was granted bail in
July, but was returned to custody after breaching his conditions. None of the allegations have been proven in court. Stephanie says she is frustrated with the way her daughter’s case has been handled. “There’s a lack of communication with the Calgary police. They haven’t called me; I’m the one trying to chase down the detective. I feel like I’m playing a game of cat-and-mouse,” she said. “In my eyes, my case is not important enough to them.” Insp. Don Coleman, with the Calgary Police Service, said a specific area in a Calgary landfill was searched over several months. The search area was determined based on where the garbage bins in the residential area where Joey’s remains were found are emptied into the landfill. Without any new evidence in Joey’s case, there are no plans to continue the search. “I’m confident that although we can never really communicate enough with families in these situations, there has been lots of information exchanged and lots of efforts to communicate with the English family,” said Coleman. “We have incredible sympathy for Joey and her family, and the lines of communication are still completely open,” he added. The English family disagreed with the statement regarding

communication, and said they had been doing much of the calling. “I’d like to know when that was. I’m the one who is asking for help and phoning the
crown prosecutor and detective, and I’m still waiting for calls back,” said Stephanie. Joey’s partial remains were buried on the Piikani Nation on Oct. 25.
“The community really supported us through this tragedy. I hope what has happened to my daughter brings awareness to all walks of life,” said Stephanie.
court
Lawyer links client’s penis size to consent suggestion The lawyer for a man being retried in a sexual assault case — after a judge’s controversial remarks — has suggested his client’s penis size may have played a role in whether the woman consented to sex. Alexander Scott Wagar’s lawyer, Pat Flynn, asked the woman during cross-examination Tuesday if she was attracted to his client after he flashed her and she saw that he was “larger than most men.” “No,” she responded vehemently. Flynn suggested the sex was consensual because the two had been engaging in “aggressive foreplay.” “No,” she replied again.
The complainant told court that she had danced with Wagar after he flashed her and that she had complimented him on his dance moves. Court has already heard how Wagar, 29, and the woman, 24, were at a party in a Calgary home in December 2011. The woman testified that she was in the bathroom when Wagar came in, locked the door and ripped her clothes off. She said the sexual assault lasted 15 to 20 minutes. Wagar was acquitted of sexual assault in 2014 by Judge Robin Camp, who decided Wagar’s version of events was more credible. During the original trial,
Camp referred to the complainant as the accused, asked her, “Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?” and said “pain and sex sometimes go together.” The verdict was overturned on appeal and a Canadian Judicial Council panel is currently mulling over whether to recommend Camp be removed from the bench. Flynn suggested the woman made up the rape allegation because she was upset Wagar had sex with another woman at the home after what happened in the bathroom. Wagar’s brother, Flynn said, was bugging her about that. “She then went from con-
sensual sex to then saying it was rape,” Flynn said. “When his brother starts trash-talking you, you’re going to get back at him. You’re going to say he raped you.” The retrial is being heard by a judge without a jury. Wagar, who took the stand in the afternoon, said he was angry that he was there for a crime that didn’t happen. “I’ve already done 15 months. I’m pretty ... bitter about the whole thing,” he said before being cautioned by his lawyer. Wagar said he and the complainant hit it off and started kissing in the bathroom at the home.
“I came over to her. I just kissed her. I just went for it and she kissed me back.” He said they had sex on the sink and in the shower. “She never told me no and I did stop when she asked me if I had a condom and I said no and then she gave the OK to go ahead,” said Wagar. He said his accuser became jealous of his attention to another girl and the charge against him was false. “It didn’t happen like that. I am not a ... rapist. My mother taught me to respect women from a young age. I would never force myself on anybody. That’s wrong,” he said. the canadian press

Hospital boots medicinal toker Marijuana
Health-care facilities should let her medicate as needed: User Lucie Edwardson
Metro | Calgary
When Vicky Penny has an anxiety attack she knows what will settle her down: her prescribed medical marijuana. Last week, while Penny was waiting for an appointment at Foothills Hospital to speak with someone about some of her ongoing mental health issues, she was overwhelmed with anxiety, so she stepped outside to medicate. “It was about five minutes to my appointment and I was feeling anxious, it was a big day,” said Penny. “Security was dealing with another matter in the smoking area so I decided to just go around the corner.” Penny pulled out her marijuana pipe and began filling it with her medicine — only to be approached by a security guard
who told he she couldn’t have it out there, let alone use it. “They can’t stop me from using my medicine. Are they going to stop someone taking a prescribed pill?” questioned Penny. Metro reached out to Alberta Health Services who provided an emailed statement. “AHS works with medical marijuana users to accommodate their medical needs, while protecting the safety and wellness of staff, patients and the public,” they said. “This is about the balance between patient need and the health and safety of other patients, staff and visitors.”
Vaporizers cost about $150 — I can’t afford that. Vicky Penny
Penny said she would like to see changes, so that she and other medicinal marijuana users aren’t forced off AHS property or to hide when they need to medicate. “I have a prescription for this
because of my mental health concerns, one of which is my severe anxiety, so when it comes to that I can’t leave the property — I was in a full-blown anxiety attack,” she said. Vicky’s mother, Brenda Penny, said she’d like to see Vicky and others who depend on medical marijuana treated more fairly. “Seeing as it’s used for medicinal purposes, I’m not very happy there are all these restrictions,” she said. “I think it’s time they start accepting it in the medical arena and facilities.” AHS said only vaporizers and e-cigarettes may be used outdoors on AHS property, but Vicky said she would like to be able to smoke from her pipe as it requires a much smaller dose, which is important for someone on a budget. “Vaporizers cost about $150 — I can’t afford that and I have to spread out my doses for a month, so smoking from a pipe just makes more sense for me,” she said. AHS said their patient relations representatives are always available to discuss patient care with patients and families who may have concerns about treatment and care.

The employee met with a doctor and was offered an experimental Ebola vaccine. Officials, citing privacy, wouldn’t say whether he received the vaccine. The employee is in isolation and will be monitored for 21 days by local health officials. Copps said a pig had been
given a drug called interferon and then infected with Ebola to see if the drug would affect the outcome of the disease. All the pigs had been anesthetized and were being moved by the employee at the time, he said. Ebola is spread through direct contact with the blood, sweat, vomit, feces, urine, saliva or semen of those infected or of corpses. The virus is not airborne. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Sacrifices of native veterans honoured Indigenous people across Canada remembered ancestors and community members who fought and died in war as they marked National Aboriginal Veterans Day on Tuesday. More than 12,000 aboriginal people joined the Canadian military in the First and Second World Wars and Korea. More than 500 were killed and countless more were injured. Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr said more indigenous people served in those conflicts than any other ethnic group, as a percentage of total population.
Of the Canadian military’s 95,000 full- and part-time service members, more than 2,500 are aboriginal people. National Aboriginal Veterans Day has grown since it was inaugurated by Winnipeg’s city council in 1994, with commemorations across the country each year. Richard Blackwolf, president of the Canadian Aboriginal Veterans and Serving Members Association, says his group plans to ask the federal government to proclaim Nov. 8 as National Aboriginal Veterans Day.

Trudeau to retrace father’s footsteps
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will retrace some of his father’s most historic footsteps next week when he travels to Cuba and quite possibly meets an old family friend — retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Officially, Trudeau will meet with Cuban President Raul Castro. Cuba’s ambassador to Canada says there may also be an opportunity to visit with Fidel too. “I think this question has been worked out, and there is
a chance,” ambassador Julio Garmendia Pena said Monday. “I’m sure Fidel would like to meet him, and it would be a great opportunity for him to say hello to a friend of his father, and for Fidel to greet his closest friend’s son as a prime minister.” Pierre Trudeau became the first NATO leader to visit Cuba when he touched down on Jan. 26, 1976 with his wife and his four-month-old son in tow.

Sinkhole tears open city centre Disaster
Officials fear collapse could affect nearby structures Parts of a main street collapsed in the heart of a major city in southern Japan on Tuesday, creating a massive sinkhole and cutting off power, water and gas supplies to parts of the city. Authorities said no injuries were reported from the presunrise collapse in downtown Fukuoka, which created a sinkhole more than half the size of an Olympic pool in the middle of the business district. The cause of the collapse is under investigation, Fukuoka officials said, but they linked it to ongoing subway construction nearby. A smaller sinkhole
occurred in Fukuoka in 2014 at another location of the subway construction. Fukuoka, a city of more than 1.5 million people, is about 1,000 kilometres southwest of Tokyo. The massive cave-in appeared in the city’s bustling Hakata district, a major business and entertainment centre, with muddy underground water flowing into the hole. The incident prompted the evacuation of some residents in nearby buildings. Officials were concerned that further erosion inside the sinkhole could prompt nearby structures to collapse. “An accident like this is unheard of, one that should not have happened,” Fukuoka Mayor Soichiro Takashima said. “We must prevent secondary accidents, and will do our utmost to restore important infrastructure.” The Associated Press
Climate change
Last five years the hottest on record
A sinkhole in the middle of the business district in Fukuoka on Tuesday.
Hot and wild and with an “increasingly visible human footprint” — that’s how the UN weather agency sums up the global climate in the past five years. In a report released Tuesday at international climate talks in Morocco, the World Meteorological Organization said 2011-2015 was the hottest five-year period on record. That comes as no surprise as WMO’s annual reports have showed record average temperatures in 2014 and 2015. But the agency said the fiveyear report provides a better overview of warming trends and extreme events such as prolonged droughts and recurrent heat waves. “We just had the hottest five-year period on record, with 2015 claiming the title of hottest individual year. Even that record is likely to be beaten in 2016,” said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.

Investigators dig into mass grave
The stench of death drew Iraqi soldiers to the unsettled plot of land freshly liberated from Daesh fighters. When a bulldozer scraped the ground, bones poked from just beneath the surface, along with clothing scraps, garbage bags, human remains swarming with flies — and even a child’s stuffed animal. About 100 bodies, many of them decapitated, are suspected to be buried in what is likely the latest mass grave left by the retreating jihadis, officials said. Investigators on Tuesday

began their probe of the site, located near an agricultural school in the town of Hamam al-Alil. The gruesome discovery by troops advancing on militantheld Mosul fits a pattern in territory retaken from Daesh. The extremist group killed hundreds as it swept across northern and central parts of Iraq in 2014 and is believed to have carried out a brutal crackdown since the Oct. 17 start of an offensive to recapture the country’s second-largest city. “Investigators flew in this
morning,” said Haider Majeed, a cabinet official in charge of mass-grave inquiries. “They’re conducting examinations to determine the cause of death.” In Geneva, the UN humanrights office said it was investigating if the site was connected to reports about the alleged killing of police in the same area. “We had reports that 50 former Iraqi police officers had been killed in a building outside Mosul,” spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said.

Words of hope for America This is the image Metro’s cartoonist drew to sum up her feelings about the campaign. Here’s what she had to say. I did this cartoon thinking about what I believe the priority should be when choosing a government: People’s well-being. Us humans should take care of each other. We should be fair. We should be together. The United States is the most influential country in the world, and whatever happens there will trickle down to the rest of the planet. That’s why my wish for them is that hope and love can prevail, and that they stay strong and work hard on the creation of a happier country. That in turn will help create a happier and healthier world.

Prince Harry calls out racism royal family
Scrutiny of relationship compared to Princess Diana Prince Harry condemned the media for subjecting girlfriend Meghan Markle to “a wave of abuse and harassment,” issuing a highly unusual statement Tuesday that confirmed his relationship with the American actress and expressed concern for her safety. Harry’s office said that while the 32-year-old prince understood that there was significant curiosity about his private life, a line had been crossed in terms of media intrusion. Harry said the statement was issued in hopes media driving the story will “pause.” “Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle’s safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her,” said the statement from Kensington Palace. “It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm.” The 35-year-old Markle is best known for playing paralegal Rachel Zane in the TV legal drama Suits. She has also worked with the United Nations on gender equality and is a global ambassador for the charity World Vision Canada, travelling to Rwanda earlier this year to campaign for clean water. Tabloids in Britain and beyond have jumped on the story
and speculated about the relationship for weeks, with many commenting on her mixed-race heritage and contrasting her background with the prince’s. The palace said the harassment has “been very public — the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments.” One Daily Mail headline called her a “saucy divorcee.” Another described her ancestors as “a tailor, a teacher and a cleaner in racially-divided Jim Crow South — while his were ruling the British Empire.” One Daily Mirror article linked Markle with an online pornography site, saying clips of her from Suits were featured on an adult site. Harry said the commentators will say this is “the price she has

“This is not a game — it is her life and his.” Statement issued by Prince Harry’s office to pay” and that “this is all part of the game.” The palace said that Harry “strongly disagrees.” “This is not a game — it is her life and his,” the statement said. The scrutiny of the relationship drew immediate parallels to the media scrutiny of Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana, who died in a 1997 car accident while being pursued by paparazzi. It also invited comparisons to the early revelations that Kate Middleton was dating Prince William. That relationship was also the subject of relentless media attention. But choosing to tackle the issue directly is unusual for the palace, which initially declined comment to reports in the Sunday Express newspaper on the relationship, as per its usual policy of refraining from discussions on the personal lives of the royal family. “It’s a very unusual step, I can’t think of a precedent for it in recent years,” said Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine. “Some would regard this is something he should put up with, but that’s not in his nature.” the associated press

Angelina Jolie gets full custody of kids celebrity
Custody agreement reached with Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie Pitt will continue to have sole custody of her six children with Brad Pitt in a joint agreement reached by the actors, a representative for the actress said Monday. The voluntary agreement calls for the former couple’s six children, who range in ages from eight to 15, to continue to have “therapeutic visits” with Pitt for the time being.
It is unclear what therapeutic visits entailed, and Jolie Pitt’s representatives could not provide additional details. A representative for Pitt declined comment. Monday’s statement said the agreement was reached more than a week ago, although Pitt told a court on Friday that he is seeking joint custody. Jolie Pitt filed for divorce in September, days after Pitt was involved in a disturbance during a private flight with his family. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakup, and an attorney said at the time she filed for divorce “for the health of the family.” The agreement has not been
filed in the couple’s divorce, and may not be the final custody arrangement governing the actors’ children. Pitt and Jolie Pitt reached a temporary custody agreement in late September that included at least some of the same terms — visitation with his children and both sides agreeing to meetings with therapists. “We believe that all sides are committed to healing the
family and ask for your consideration during this difficult time,” Monday’s statement said. The actor filed a legal response to the divorce on Friday and sought joint custody of the children. Formal custody arrangements are included in a couple’s divorce judgment, although they are rarely made public in celebrity divorce cases. Pitt’s filing did not include
any new details about the couple’s breakup. Pitt cited irreconcilable differences and makes no mention of a prenuptial agreement that will govern how the pair divides their assets. He also cites Sept. 15 as the day of their separation, one day after the alleged plane altercation between Pitt and his 15-year-old son, Maddox. Pitt was accused of being
abusive toward the teenager, sources told The Associated Press, but authorities were not notified when the plane landed in Minnesota. Several sources said the incident was being investigated by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, but the agency said it could not confirm whether it was involved. the associated press

LIQUID ASSETS Brand ambassador spreading word and wine When it comes to listing dream jobs, being a brand ambassador for a winery is close to the top. Who wouldn’t want to travel the globe hosting tastings and talking up the juice? Rocio Osborne lives that life. A sixth-generation member of Spain’s Osborne vino dynasty, her passport gets more use than a corkscrew at a wine bar. Over dinner last week Rocio shared stories of how her family turned Rioja’s Bodegas Montecillo, a winery acquired more than 40 years ago, into one of the wine world’s most recognized brands.

Its balanced, jammy red fruit is incredibly foodfriendly, making it a wine to keep in mind for holiday meal pairing. Prices reflect range across the country. May not be available in all provinces.

Maple Glazed Ribs extend BBQ season culinary competition
A recipe by the Quebec team competing in food Olympics Starting today, Team Canada heads down to Orange Beach, Ala. to compete in the World Food Championships — the Olympics of the culinary world — for a high-stakes showdown. Representing Eastern Canada is Team Skara Old School BBQ, including pitmasters Manny Mavroudis and Dave Wharry, who provided the recipe we are printing here. “If you don’t have a smoker you can make these on a gas grill using the ‘indirect’ method, which means basically put two burners on low and turn off the middle burner,” said Wharry. With unseasonably warm weather across the country, extend barbecue season with this nod to Quebecois tradition. metro

Don’t forget to schedule fun things — even just a walk in the park with friends. Istock
5 tips for achieving work-life balance If the term “sandwich generation” is all too familiar for you, then you know the challenge it can be juggling your interests with the demands of caring for both older parents and young children. Achieve a balance between the personal and professional with these quick tips that’ll have you acing that big project at work, making it to your kid’s dance recital, and spending quality time with your parents. Don’t forget your health When you’re feeling stretched too thin, one of the first things you neglect is probably your health. “This is a big mistake,” says Suzane Andrade, registered nurse at EMD Serono. “Not only do proper sleep, nutrition, and exercise help you have enough energy, they also prevent you from being sidelined by illness.” Andrade
points out that keeping yourself healthy is also important for maintaining the health of aging parents and young children, who are more at risk of complications from colds and flu. Use the latest apps Let technology work for you. There’s an app for whatever you need help with in work and life — whether that’s managing a health condition, scheduling appointments, or grocery shopping.
Rethink basic errands If you’re the one shuffling aging parents to appointments, taking the kids to soccer practice, and picking up the groceries, consider how you can make your life easier. Organize carpools for afterschool activities and look into grocery delivery options — think outside the box for creative solutions.
Double down Too many commitments? Pair items on your to-do list for maximum efficiency and down time for yourself. Date night with your partner could be cooking an interesting new meal at home (with plenty of leftovers for weekday lunches). Plan fun weekend activities that your parents and kids can enjoy together. Schedule time for non-work activities Most people pay special attention to scheduling work tasks and meetings. Do the same with leisure activities. Make appointments for fun, date night, and personal time like you would for a business meeting — you’ll feel healthier and happier and be more productive at work by ensuring you can keep your appointment with the gym. newscanada

How to get your kids to manage their finances
ur
Money Matters
Help set your kids up for financial independence If your kids are young adults attending postsecondary or starting their first foray into the working world and you’re still doing their taxes and helping with finances, you’re not alone. Many parents (and kids) have trouble cutting the cord, especially when it comes to money matters. Fortunately, there are ways to help set them up for financial success and independence. Make time for teaching Don’t discount this obvious tip — many parents neglect teaching the basics of personal finance because it’s just easier to do it themselves, while kids
are often too happy to remain blissfully ignorant. Educate your children on how to make a monthly budget, calculate regular expenses and auto insurance. Teach by example, and break down how you do this with your own money. Ask a relative or friend to do this if you think it would be better coming from them. Speak with a financial planner A financial planner can help your young adult find the best place to keep their money, like a Tax-Free Savings Account or Registered Education Savings Plan if they’re planning on further schooling. Earn a bit of interest on your student loans by keeping the money in a high-interest savings account. It’s also never too early to start planning for financial goals like paying off student loans and saving for bigger expenses like a first
home down payment. Master online banking together Online banking is the perfect way for young adults to take control of their finances because they can do it from their laptops and smartphones, spaces they’re already very comfortable with. Get them to take charge of their taxes by signing up for direct deposit for their income tax refund, GST/HST credit, and other taxrelated payments. It’s the fastest, safest, and greenest way to get their payments. This way, if they decide to move or travel with their newfound economic freedom, they’ll still have access to their money and you can forget about mailing them their payments. Sign up for direct deposit by visiting your financial institution or go to directdeposit.gc.ca for more information. newscanada

Refreshed Pathfinder is comfy, easy
tested
Jodi Lai
AutoGuide.com
the checklist | 2017 Nissan Pathfinder THE BASICS Engine: 3.5L V6 Power: 284 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque Transmission: CVT Fuel Economy (L/100 km): 12.1 city, 8.9 hwy, 10.5 combined Price: Starts at $32,498, $48,398 for top trim
LOVE IT • Comfortable drive • User-friendly • Huge cargo capacity LEAVE IT • Brakes could be better
The most important remark I heard when driving people around in the Nissan Pathfinder was, “Wow, this is comfortable.” People who remember Nissan Pathfinders from back in the day remember the truck-based-SUV that, while capable off-road, was a brute and not at all easy to drive anywhere civilized. This 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, which has just been refreshed, is still built on a unibody platform, something it looks like the SUV will do for the foreseeable future. Why will Nissan stick to unibody? Because no one actually takes their Pathfinder off-road anymore — this is a crossover aimed at families who need space and a bit of capability, not a military-grade tank. During my time with the seven-seat Pathfinder, I used it to take a day trip into wine country, visit an outlet mall, ferry around my parents, pick up some pumpkins, and take a few bags of clothing to a donation depot. The worst conditions it saw was a
gravel road. But that’s not to say the Pathfinder has gone completely soft. Although there is no option to lock the car in lower gears, the Pathfinder should be able to easily handle most eventualities like a snow storm, dirt trail to the cottage, or drive across a field to get a Christmas tree. Through a three-mode drive selector on the center console, you can choose to drive only the front wheels for maximum fuel efficiency, you can let the car decide where the power is needed in auto mode, or you can lock the rear differential for more challenging conditions. The SUV also has a hill descent mode, which is like cruise control for driving down steep hills. It keeps the car at a crawling speed so if you are off-roading, you don’t have to modulate the brakes or throttle; all you’d have to take care of is steering and making sure your wheels are pointed where you want to go. The most standout aspect is how comfortable it is and how easy it is to drive in an urban environment. I had no difficulty navigating the three-row SUV around condo parking garages, with the steering light enough at slow speeds to make tight turns effortless. A top-down 360-degree overhead view is displayed on screen when reversing or can be turned on at parking lot speeds, which makes things a lot easier.

Model S gets new glass roof option Tesla has introduced a new glass roof option for its Model S and has discontinued P90D models for the Model S and Model X.The change was spotted on the U.S. electric automaker’s website by Electrek, and the new all-glass roof will cost $1,500 in the U.S., while the panoramic sunroof option will cost $2,000, which is needed for roof rack and satellite radio compatibility. Tesla says the new roof gives the electric sedan an “open, expansive cabin feel,� but not much other information on the new roof is available. Another change spotted in the online car configurator is that the P90D model has been discontinued. Customers can still buy a 90D, but without the P designation, Ludicrous mode can’t be added on.

ENOUGH FOR ALL
HOW A RED RING CAN HELP END POVERTY IN CALGARY In the next few weeks, you’ll likely start noticing people all over Calgary wearing a new accessory—a thick red ring with white lettering that reads “ENOUGH FOR ALL.” Anyone wearing the ring is showing support for the one in 10 people in Calgary who live in poverty and the strategy that’s aimed at helping them. Enough for All’s goal is to reduce poverty in Calgary by 50 per cent by the year 2023. The initiative is based on the philosophy that there are already enough resources for everyone in the city to live comfortably, but they have been unevenly distributed. It brings together a wide range of individuals, businesses and social agencies to redirect, coordinate and build on those existing resources to reduce poverty. “Wearing the ring starts conversations,” says Gisele Danis, VP Marketing & Communications at Brook�ield Residential, one of the many partners working on the Enough for All campaign. “People you meet over the course of the day will ask, ‘What is that?’” When they ask, the wearer can answer that poverty affects students trying to �inish high school, smaller children’s development, their parent’s ability to get and keep a job or their whole family’s health and well-being. One in 10 Calgarians live in poverty. One

in �ive are concerned they don’t have enough money for food. A full third of people in the city are worried they don’t have enough money for housing. Enough for All believes that by educating Calgarians and challenging perspectives on poverty, local citizens will consider reducing poverty to be a bigger priority in the next few years. “Put the ring on and then do something,”
says Danis. Anyone can make lasting, positive change that impacts all Calgarians. Visit EnoughForAll. ca to �ind out how you can get your ring and start the conversation to reduce poverty.

Jose’s act wearing thin already at Old Trafford? Premier League
Man United boss raises eyebrows by scolding players publicly Jose Mourinho has picked fights throughout his trophyladen coaching career, typically against soccer authorities, match officials, the media and opposing managers. Now, he’s increasingly taking on his own players. The joyless, turbulent opening months of his tenure at Manchester United have been pock-marked with public outbursts against the team in general but also against specific individuals. England defender Luke Shaw has taken the brunt of it. Six weeks ago, Mourinho was openly critical of Shaw’s defensive work in United’s 3-1 loss to Watford in the Premier League. On Sunday, Shaw was one of two players — the other being Chris Smalling — criticized by Mourinho for failing to play through the pain for a league game against Swansea. “There is a difference,” Mourinho said, “between the brave, who want to be there at any cost, and the ones for whom a little pain can make a difference.” Usually, the Portuguese coach makes such comments after a loss or poor performance, using them as a kind of diversion-

ate a storm deliberately. “But he does protect his players,” Lampard said. Nowadays, it seems, he does it to protect himself. The personal attacks so early in his United tenure stick out and it’s a worrying echo of the final days of his most recent job. His second stint at Chelsea ended sourly in December 2015, when he was fired days after saying his players had “betrayed” his work by defending so poorly in a 2-1 loss at Leicester. Chelsea said there had been a “palpable discord between manager and players.” It could be heading the same way at United.

MOVE-IN READY: NEW HOMES
FIND THE PERFECT HOME AT AN EXCEPTIONAL PRICE If you’re in the market for a home in Calgary, buying quick-possession is one way to get an incredible deal, according to Emily Smith, marketing lead at Stepper Homes, a Calgarybased home builder. “Our quick-possession homes are available much faster than a pre-built home,” Smith says. “All our homes are new and beautifully appointed, so you’ll be getting excellent quality at the same time.” Stepper Homes has just a few homes left for quick-possession before the end of 2016. They range in location and size. Buyers can �ind a home that �its them and their family, in areas both in and outside the city, including Mahogany and Legacy in Southeast Calgary, Heritage Hills in Cochrane and Boulder Creek Estates in Langdon. The Hammond in Boulder Creek is perfect for families who are looking for lots of space. It offers a leisurely 2,456 square feet, including four bedrooms. The three-car garage ensures everyone in the family has a covered parking space, with lots of extra room for storage. The Hammond costs $589,900. “It’s a great place to give your family more room to grow,” Smith says. Meanwhile, nestled in the Heritage Hills neighbourhood, the Meridian offers three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms with 1,807 square feet of �loor space. This is a laned home, so the garage is at the back of the home. The un�inished walk-out basement has lots of potential, with enough space to have a den, another bedroom and full bathroom, so you
Delivering on quality Quick possession homes come with a level of quality thatʼs often better than other houses on the market for similar prices. “When we build our quick-possession homes, we use the same building process as a pre-built home, except we pick out the interiors ahead of time,” explains Emily Smith of Stepper Homes. “With that, we also include a lot of upgrades — luxury vinyl plank flooring, and granite countertops throughout, for example.” All Stepper quick-possession homes also include other details that take them to the next level of quality.

can expand as your needs change. The Meridian features two great outdoors spaces that are uniquely designed for relaxing living. A front piazza is located off the main�loor master bedroom, with beautiful French doors, and is ideal for enjoying your morning coffee. The back deck provides a great place for a barbecue too. With all this, the Meridian is priced at $419,000. One of the biggest advantages of a quick-
possession home is that you can move in very soon after you purchase — sometimes right away. “You can move in before the end of the year and get that brand new house without the wait,” Smith says. Several Stepper quickpossession homes will be move-in ready in November or early December, while others are move-in ready now. “Buyers can move into their new homes in time for the holidays.”

Buy from an award-winning home builder The homebuilding industry has stiff competition and rigorous standards. You can often identify a great builder by the number of awards they’ve won. Cedarglen Homes in Calgary is a forward-thinking home builder that is earning attention and praise for its homebuilding practices. In the past year, the Cedarglen team has won two awards for their outstanding customer service. On Sept. 30, Cedarglen Homes was awarded the Professional Home Builders Institute (PHBI) New Homebuyers’ Choice 2016 Provincial Award in the single family homes, 150+ possessions category. On April 16, Cedarglen Homes was awarded the PHBI New Homebuyers’ Choice 2016 Regional Award. They’re two of the most prestigious awards in the industry, and the Cedarglen Homes team was up against some of the best home builders in Alberta. New Homebuyers’ Choice Award winners are selected based on customer satisfaction. The winner is the builder that has achieved the highest overall score from their homebuyers in a post-possession
Defining Homebuilding
Every Cedarglen Home is built to a level of quality that goes well beyond the industry standards. The builder offers a diverse array of move-up homes and zero lot line homes for many types of buyers, all crafted with outstanding workmanship, enduring design and the latest building technologies.
survey. Since 1981, Cedarglen Homes has welcomed thousands of families into their new homes, earning honours including Master Home Builder and the 2016 Home Owner Mark Of Excellence Gold Award for Calgary in the Single Family Homes category. “Our wins are a testament of the commitment our team has to this industry and our homeowners,” says Howard Tse, president of Cedarglen Homes. The win also speaks to the quality of homebuilding in Alberta, he added. “For us it’s about so much more than constructing houses. We’re designing homes and communities that provide value for their residents for years to come.” Part of the progressive company’s winning combination is its nimble nature. Cedarglen ensures it adapts to changing market conditions and buyer needs as they arise. “We’re constantly changing and adapting our processes in search of the perfect model,” Tse says. “Buying a home is a momentous decision for people, so we’re dedicated to making the homeowner experience the best it can be.” The communities are just as solid. Cedarglen homes are built in communities that were created by wellestablished and renowned developers. Whether youʼre looking for a two-storey home, a bungalow or a custom home, theyʼre all built in communities you can trust. The current homes available to choose from include lots and home models in Auburn Bay, Walden and

ARRIVE HOME TO A GREENER FUTURE When Hanson Mau started looking for a home in Calgary last November, he took his time. “I was speci�ically looking for a townhouse,” Mau recalls. “I wanted to make sure I chose the right place and I wanted to narrow my choices.” It wasn’t until January 2016 when Mau, 36, decided he would buy from Partners Development Group. His �inal selection was an energy ef�icient, two-bedroom townhome at the development ARRIVE at Evanston in Northwest Calgary. “What stood out the most was the energy ef�iciency of the project,” Mau says. Partners Development is certi�ied Built Green through Built Green Canada. “I really wanted something that was pretty air-tight and well-built, so I took a lot of time researching into just the quality of the builder,” says Mau. “The reputation of Partners was one of the key factors — just knowing that if I buy a house from them, it’s going to be well-built. It’s not going to be rushed.” The development's green features stood out from the start. “I liked the windows,” Mau says. “They’re double glazed, low-E. They let in the correct amount of sunlight to passively heat the home that way.” ARRIVE at Evanston homes are built using sustainable building practices, and have an average EnerGuide™ Rating of 82+ points and Gold BUILT GREEN® labeling. Environmentally responsible, energy saving features include heat recovery ventilators for clean quality air, EnergyStar™ appliances, water saver faucets and toilets, and 96 per cent

high ef�iciency furnaces and electric water heaters. Buyers of ARRIVE townhomes are eligible for incentives like a 10 per cent refund on their mortgage loan insurance premiums. Other practical features also felt just right. “The washer and dryer being on the top �loor was very important to me, instead of lugging the laundry down to the basement,” Mau says. “It just makes more sense for me to have it right by the bedroom.” The community and amenities make the neighbourhood a great place to call home. “There’s lots of green space and open spaces,” says Mau, adding that he enjoys the convenience of the local strip malls and shopping centres. The development is just two blocks from the businesses and retail services at Evanston Towne Centre. ARRIVE at Evanston also provides great
amenities for young families, including a private, state-of-the-art playground, and onsite child care with award-winning Kids & Company. The company is providing free registration and priority enrollment for all families in the ARRIVE at Evanston community. All residents can enjoy the outdoor gazebos — the perfect place to hold your next outdoor celebration. ARRIVE at Evanston is also very convenient for Mau’s commute. It’s right by Stoney Trail, and the highway takes him straight to work in Northeast Calgary. Mau moved into his new home in February, shortly after he bought it. Once he got there he knew right away that he had made the right choice. “Buying the house, I don’t know why I waited so long, just moving into my own place,” says Mau. “It feels so good just owning my own place.”
Buy from a trusted developer When youʼre buying a home, purchase from a developer you trust. Partners Development Group has a proven history of excellence in homebuilding. Since the company was established 1998, it has grown and blossomed alongside the city, building more than 1,300 homes in numerous multi-family projects throughout Southern Alberta. Partners Development has helped build the Calgary of today. The company has built its success on long-term relationships with buyers and lasting partnerships with trade professionals. Partners Development Group is also progressive — the company is one of Calgary's top Certified Built Green townhome builders.
