Crowbar attack called ‘scary,’ ‘concerning’ Investigation

Road rage incident leaves woman with broken arms Jeremy Simes

BRIDGING THE GAP After-school program offers new way for Syrian newcomers to work on their English metroNEWS

Join the Conversation

Residents of King Edward Park are shaken after one of their neighbours had her arms broken by a man with a crowbar, in what police are calling a “vicious” road-rage attack.

“It’s absolutely concerning. It’s scary,” said John Blerot, who lives a few houses down from the site of the alleged attack in a quiet residential neighbourhood Tuesday morning.

“You just never know of unstable people that are out there.”

Edmonton police said Wednesday they are investigating lots of tips as they search for a white man described as being about 30 years old and six-footone, with brown hair and blue eyes.

Police spokesperson Scott Pattison

Let’s Talk Park & Ride

said it appears the woman was injured trying to defend herself.

“It is alleged the male suspect was swinging for her head and she blocked the swing,” he said Wednesday. “That is what we believe.”

Police said the 34-year-old woman honked her horn as she passed a car stopped in the street Tuesday morning where she was trying to make a turn.

The driver of the car, described by police as a silver Pontiac Wave, followed her to a house. When she got out of her vehicle the man allegedly ran up to her, striking her on both arms with a crowbar.

The woman was taken to hospital, where doctors performed surgery.

“She has had multiple breaks in both arms — very significant breaks,” Pattison said. “She is still in hospital.”

King Edward Park resident Pam Churchill, who also lives close to the home, said she’s keeping a lookout for the attacker’s vehicle.

“I’m worried,” she said. “People need to not turn to anger in these cases. This is unacceptable.”

Youth worker first to receive award Jeremy Simes

Metro | Edmonton When she started her career in government 36 years ago, Liz O’Neill remembers being passed over at important meetings.

“We, as women, were invited to meetings because they thought maybe they should include us, and only just to include us,” said O’Neill, now the executive director of Boys and Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters Society of Edmonton & Area.

“They turned to us at the end of the agenda and would say, ‘Oh did you have something to add?’ Of course we always have something to add.”

Women’s rights have come a long way since those meetings, O’Neill added.

“The dichotomy is day and night.”

O’Neill was the first woman to receive Edmonton’s Woman’s Leadership Award Wednesday for her accomplishments in the community, as part of celebrations to mark International Women’s Day. She heads an organization that serves more than 5,000 children with 3,000 volunteers at the helm.

She acknowledged the “incredible women, and some men, too,” that she works with, after accepting the award.

“We don’t get here alone,” she said. “We get here because we come together. So you com-

ing here to celebrate International Women’s Day really matters to me.”

During the event, Status of Women Minister Stephanie McLean and Coun. Bev Esslinger highlighted recent legislation they said improves the quality of life for women in Edmonton, including a provincial increase in the minimum wage and a new law that allows victims of domestic violence to break leases.

McLean said her ministry has also helped the government approach other work with a “gendered-lens.”

But there always room for improvement, O’Neill added.

“It’s really important to make sure our all our policies are put into a gendered lens, to make sure we don’t get ourselves caught,” she said.

“It’s to make sure we don’t miss out on an opportunity because there was a gender bias in place.”

Metro | Edmonton Women occupied every seat in the House of Commons for a short time Wednesday.

Jennifer Ha from Camrose, Alta. was one of the 338 women who took part in Daughters of the Vote, a three-day leadership conference organized by Equal Voice to celebrate women’s suffrage and Canada’s 150th anniversary around International Women’s Day. The 22-year-old University of Alberta political science student said she had never considered running for office until sitting in parliament this week.

“Even studying political science, I never really thought that I’d be the one that’s ever running on the ballot,” Ha said.

“But actually attending this conference, it’s sort of cheesy but made me think, why not me? If I have these ideas and if I have these visions and I know I’m capable and I know I’m driven, they why wouldn’t it be me.”

The women, aged 18-23,

The delegates took in workshops and sessions on women in politics, heard from Green Party leader Elizabeth May and former Prime Minister Kim Campbell, marched from the National Arts Centre to the parliament building and met with their MPs. For Ha, the most important part was hearing speeches from

ity for people with disabilities, and suicide rates in northern indigenous communities.

“It’s been really amazing.

We not only come from different parts of the country, we all come with different perspectives and different passions,” she said.

Women currently hold just 26 per cent of seats in the House of Commons, and Equal Voice is working to change that by getting more women elected across Canada.

Insulin shows promise

Fatality rate not changed Matt Kieltyka

Metro | Edmonton

Metro | Edmonton Researchers in Edmonton have found an insulin nasal spray can ease some negative effects of HIV on the brain.

Christopher Power, professor and neurologist at the University of Alberta, said about 25 per cent of people with HIV suffer difficulties with memory, concentration, decision making, and sometimes motor problems and behavioural issues like mania or irritability.

“We think that’s because the virus gets into the brain and the antiretroviral drugs don’t work that well in the brain. They don’t cross the blood-brain barrier very well,” Power said.

Power is the senior author of a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience showing that insulin delivered intranasally can protect brain cells while also suppressing HIV replication and preventing inflammation.

Funded by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Team grant, the researchers found consistently positive results in preclinical models over the six-week study.

“Memory is improved, motor functions are improved, decision making was improved in the models,” Power said.

Because the insulin is delivered straight to the brain through the nasal cavity, it does not carry any of insulin’s side effects either, he added.

The team is now ready to move on to a randomized control trial in humans, who will be split into three groups — one treated with a placebo and the rest being treated with insulin intranasally at two different doses.

WIN50 JACKPOT IS AT

Death and injury rates on Alberta family farms aren’t going down despite pressure from public health experts, labour organizations and, recently, government, according to the director of the University of Alberta’s Injury Prevention Centre.

Don Voaklander has been tracking farm injuries and fatalities for two decades and says he hasn’t seen much improvement in that time.

“The fatality rate for farms and families has flat lined. It has never really changed in 20-odd years,” he said.

While government controversially enacted Bill 6 — which requires Workers Compensation Board coverage for paid farm workers — last year, farm owners and their family members are exempt.

Farmers are five times more likely to be killed on the job than in any other industry, with about 101 deaths Canada-wide each year. Voaklander said educational interventions have shown to be ineffective at reducing injury rates as well.

So what will it take to prevent these workplace deaths?

Voaklander aimed to answer that question Thursday, with a public lecture on the subject, titled Old MacDonald had a farm injury. The answer, he said, may lie with industry.

“I’m talking about societal pressure. (Farming) is kind of a ruggedly, individualistic profession and for many years it has been treated that way,” said Voaklander. “But if you look at McCain now, a big food producer, they have a code of conduct for suppliers that includes occupational health and safety.” with files from the Canadian Press

Proposed playoff prices irk loyal fan NHL

Lower bowl to cost season ticket holders $169-$258 Pushpa Balgobin

For Metro | Edmonton

For the first time in a decade the playoffs could be within reach for the Edmonton Oilers — but soaring ticket prices mean many fans could miss out.

“I’d like to go see as many playoff games as I could, but I would have to pick my games,” said Oilers fan Michael Calnan. “I’d maybe have to go on Kijiji and hunt for them, you know, find the cheapest games possible.”

While it’s standard practice in the NHL to raise the price of tickets for the playoffs, Calnan said soaring ticket prices are tough for hardcore fans who’ve waited years to see their team make another run.

According to the Rogers Place website, season ticket holders with lower bowl seats can expect to pay between $169 - $258 for the first round. By round four those same seats will be as much as $496 each.

Meanwhile, non-season ticket holders could be even worse off: StubHub is estimating prices could skyrocket to $2,500 apiece for the final game.

While Calnan said Edmonton hockey fans “can’t be com-

IN BRIEF Minister moves to eliminate ‘zombie laws’ Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould fended off suggestions she was stirring up a debate on abortion Wednesday, as she introduced legislation to eliminate so-called “zombie laws” from the Criminal Code.

Zombie laws are sections of the law that remain in the Criminal Code despite having been deemed unconstitutional by the courts.

Among those is the statute dealing with abortion, which remains on the books despite the Supreme Court having struck it down as unconstitutional in 1988. the canadian press

pared” and are willing to pay a lot for tickets, that price is beyond most.

“Soaring prices will keep people, dedicated fans, away from the games. Hockey can’t end up being a rich man’s

sport,” he said.

“They’re trying to tell us that hockey and playoffs are out of our reach if we aren’t willing to pay a 60 per cent, or 100 per cent price increase. That’s not cool,” he said.

heritage minutes

New short honours elite women’s team Kay MacBeth was just a baby when the Edmonton Commercial Graduates won the world championship title in 1923, but by the time she joined them at age 17, the team — known as the Grads — had been dominating women’s basketball for more than a decade.

When they played their last game in 1940, the Grads had been national, North American and world champions for 17 years and following men’s rules — rather than the more restrictive “ladies’ rules” — for about as long. The women, who ranged from their late teens to their 40s, won 93 per cent of their games, making them the most successful sports team in Canadian history.

The club is once again in the spotlight, this time as the focus of the latest Heritage Minute — a 60-second film highlighting key moments in Canadian history — released Wednesday.

MacBeth, the team’s lone surviving player, said the Grads, who at one point would be recognized by strangers on the street, weren’t in it for the fame.

“It was a great life but there’s nothing like the fine points of the game — that’s a thrill,” said the 95-year-old now living in Toronto.

Releasing the short film on International Women’s Day was a deliberate choice, said Anthony Wilson-Smith, president and CEO of Historica Canada, which produces the Heritage Minutes. the canadian press

Advocates push for Canadian’s release Court

Mohamed El Attar has been detained for over a decade For more than a decade, Canadian Mohamed El Attar has been locked inside the notorious Tora Prison on bizarre charges of being an Israeli spy while few have fought for his freedom.

A delegation of politicians, human rights advocates and a former senior member of Canada’s spy service are trying to change that. On Thursday at a Parliament Hill press conference, they will call on the Liberal government to press Egypt for his release.

“I hope this will revive the case, bring it more attention, will put pressure on this Canadian government,” said Rev. Majed El Shafie, founder of the humanitarian organization One Free World International.

The case is personal for El

Shafie. He has never met El Attar but he was once held and tortured in Egypt for converting from Islam to Christianity and he believes that El Attar is also being punished for his religion. El Attar, who was born in Egypt into a Muslim family, converted to Christianity and fled the country

in 2002. He was given refuge in Canada, arguing that he was persecuted not just for his religion but also because he was gay.

El Shafie alleges that 46-year-old El Attar has been tortured in custody and that his case is based solely on a false confession.

The case against El Attar, who worked as a CIBC bank teller in Toronto, began when he flew to Cairo to visit friends and family in 2007. It was the first time he had returned to his country of birth since leaving five years earlier. He was arrested as soon as he landed on New Year’s Day. El Attar’s alleged crime was spying for Israel for several years.

Then foreign affairs minister Peter MacKay said after the trial that the Canadian government remains “concerned about a number of aspects of this case.”

But the case soon fell off the political and media agenda and El Attar was left to languish.

Animals Why did the salamander cross the road? The Jefferson salamander, an endangered amphibian found only in southern Ontario, has been dodging cars as it crosses the road on its annual march to breeding ponds. Starting Thursday, the salamanders will not have to worry about traffic as Burlington, Ont. will shut down part of a road to allow for their safe passage.

Bell tolls for Judge Lenehan courts

For Metro | Halifax

Demonstrators gathered at Grand Parade Wednesday to protest Judge Lenehan’s ruling in Bassam Al-Rawi’s sexual assault case. Comments made by Lenehan stating a drunk is able to give sexual consent has sparked outcry and spurred calls for a review. jeff harper/metro

though it was short, the message was clear — people are angry.

Lenehan’s conduct and decision on the Bassam Al-Rawi sexual assault case has resulted in a handful of protests, group meetings and petitions calling for Lenehan’s removal.

The protests and petitions have been vital in getting every-

one’s attention, and what comes next will depend on the action of the government and the courts, said Chelsea Fougére, organizer of Wednesday’s protest.

“I hope this ends with Al-Rawi being convicted and registered in the national sex offender registry, and Judge Gregory Lenehan is disbarred. He has demonstrated

in multiple cases he is an enabler of violence,” Fougére said.

“The message he has sent out to everyone is sexual assault is OK, and that people ask for it.”

She hopes the protests and petitions will move people and bring awareness to the problem of sexual assault.

“This type of thing is abso-

The House of Commons has unanimously agreed to fast-track a bill introduced by interim Tory leader Rona Ambrose that would require would-be judges to take courses in sexual assault law.

The Commons has accepted a motion from NDP Leader Tom Mulcair to bypass the usual second-reading debate and send the legislation straight to committee. The bill, C-377, would restrict eligibility for an appointment to the bench to candidates who have completed comprehensive sexual assault education.

The bill was introduced after a judge in Halifax acquitted a suspect in a sexual assault case and suggested that even an intoxicated woman could consent to sex.

“The circumstances are disturbing and, incredibly, the judge ruled that, ‘Clearly, a drunk can consent’,” Ambrose said.

“I have introduced a very common-sense bill to make sure that judges are not making basic errors or, even worse, painful comments that make victims think twice of ever pursuing justice,” she said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

A woman who accused AlRawi of sex assault in 2012 says she is “sickened” by his acquittal in this recent trial. The now-32-year-old woman told CBC News she sees “a deliberate pattern of behaviour to prey on vulnerable women looking to get home safely.”

The woman alleges being a taxi passenger of Al-Rawi’s and intoxicated when she was driven to an apartment where she was sexually assaulted. Al-Rawi was not charged.

The alleged incident is mentioned in a search warrant application for the recent 2015 case. The warrant also refers to an alleged incident from 2014, when a woman contacted police about Al-Rawi’s suspicious behaviour. metro

Cody McEachern A large group of people stand silently as rain comes down on them at Grand Parade.

Their homemade signs, each with a message of power and anger, wave and droop in the wind.

Only the sound of the city is audible, as cars and buses drive by the square.

Suddenly, a large bell is rung and the city sounds are drowned out as the angry howl of a hundred people fills the air.

The bell is rung again, and demands are shouted into a megaphone for all to hear.

A final bell ring and the crowd quietly leaves, the square silent once again.

Fast and direct was the plan for Wednesday’s protest against Judge Gregory Lenehan, the second in as many days, and al-

“We all know it and I think if we’re not suffering in that together, then we are on our own. It’s an issue that touches us all.”

Fearless Girl takes on the bull WOMEN’S DAY

Wall Street’s iconic bronze statue meets its match A new statue of a resolute young girl now faces Wall Street’s famous Charging Bull, erected by a major asset managing firm for International Women’s Day to make a point: There’s a dearth of women on the boards of the largest U.S. corporations.

State Street Global Advisors, the Boston-based investment giant, had the statue created to push companies to increase the number of women directors.

Artist Kristen Visbal’s “Fearless Girl” drew crowds Wednesday that initially came to pose for pictures with the bull, but the novelty quickly became a New York hot spot.

The girl, sculpted in bronze, appears to be staring down the bronze bull, her hands firmly planted on her waist, ponytailed head held high.

“Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference,” reads a plaque at

her feet.

“As a steward of nearly $2.5 trillion of assets, we want to engage with boards and management around issues that we think will drive core results,”

said Lori Heinel, State Street’s deputy global chief investment officer. “And what you find repeatedly is having more diverse boards and more diverse senior management will actually drive

better results for companies.”

Twenty-five per cent of the Russell 3000 — an index of the nation’s largest companies — have no women on their boards, according to State Street, which

manages many of their assets.

According to ISS Analytics, a business research firm, just 16 per cent of board seats on companies in the Russell 3000 are held by women; the aver-

age board of directors has eight men and one woman.

“It’s going to happen to the end of time unless you change something,” says Erik Gordon, a lawyer and professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. “It’s got to not just be the rules. It’s got to be the culture.”

This week, McCann New York, a top advertising agency, installed the statue of the girl before dawn Tuesday, with a city permit for one week. Negotiations are underway for the piece to remain longer.

Why choose the Charging Bull as the site to place the girl?

“Well, we really wanted the bull to have a partner, and a partner that we thought was worthy of him,” Heinel said.

“And so we got a very determined young woman who is fearless and is willing to drive the change that we believe we need.”

Sundaram’s eight-year-old daughter, Sankaribriya, got the message.

She wanted to pose with the sculpted girl “because I just wanted to look at her and wanted to feel like her.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Women go on strike across U.S. Many American women stayed home from work, joined rallies or wore red Wednesday to demonstrate how vital they are to the U.S. economy, as International Women’s Day was observed with a multitude of events around the world.

The Day Without a Woman protest in the U.S. was put together by organizers of the vast women’s marches that drew more than 1 million Americans the day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The turnout on the streets this time was much smaller in many places, with crowds numbering

in the hundreds. There were no immediate estimates of how many women heeded the call to skip work.

They need to deal with us as an economic force.

Adina Ferber

“Trump is terrifying. His entire administration, they have no respect for women or our rights,” said 49-year-old Adina

Ferber, who took a vacation day from her job at an art gallery to attend a demonstration in New York City. “They need to deal with us as an economic force.”

Elsewhere, women joined in protest. In Warsaw, thousands of women showed Poland’s conservative government red cards and made noise with kitchenware to demand full birth control rights, respect and higher pay.

In Rome, hundreds marched from the Colosseum to demand equal rights. Thousands marched in Istanbul, despite restrictions imposed since last year’s failed coup. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Your essential daily news

Welcome to Feminist In-Fight where I, Vicky Mochama, put two feminist forces in the Equality Death Cage.

chantal hébert On the federal budget

Is the Trump White House providing Trudeau’s government with muchneeded political cover for problems of its own making?

Over his first 15 months as a rookie MP and Canada’s finance minister, Bill Morneau has mastered the art of the platitude. That could come in handy when he presents his second budget later this month.

It does not matter what curve balls his opposition critics throw at him in question period these days, his answers never stray from the generic talking points that usually pass for government responses in the House of Commons.

Morneau is no more enlightening in his exchanges with the media.

About the budget he is set to unveil on March 22, the minister had this to say Tuesday: “We want to move forward on our agenda and continue to be ambitious in helping Canadians.”

In the case of budget 2017, discretion may well be the better part of valour.

Based on the government’s pre-budget chatter, this year’s installment is not destined to be a watershed document.

For weeks, Liberal spin doctors have been dampening expectations. To hear them, it would be best to treat the second budget of the Trudeau era as a non-event.

It is widely expected to leave more questions unanswered about the fiscal course of the government than it addresses.

Morneau and others point south of the border and blame the uncertainty that is attending the arrival in the White House of an unpredictable administration to account for the government’s tentative approach to its upcoming budget.

Indeed, since Trump’s

Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s upcoming budget is being billed as blasé, writes Chantal Hébert. The Canadian Press

inauguration, the finance minister has spent an unusual amount of time in the U.S. on what the government has described as fact-finding missions.

There is no doubt that Donald Trump’s presidency is a wild card about whose impact it is hard to come to an informed assessment.

But it is also true that it offers convenient cover for a government that is as long on ambitious talk as it is short on revenues to finance its promises.

Long before Trump’s potential arrival in the White House was seen as a credible threat, it was clear that whatever big-ticket items had not made it into last year’s first Liberal budget would be unlikely to find pride of place in subsequent ones.

The sluggishness of the world economy precedes Trump’s victory. So do the

forecasts for a string of doubledigit federal deficits that could easily stretch — if you believe Canada’s parliamentary budget office — into the next mandate and beyond.

Morneau did not wait for Trump to win to start to shovel some federal spending forward.

Take health care. To make the pill of a 50 per cent reduction in the rate of increase of the health transfer to the provinces easier to swallow, the federal government upped its offer of more cash for mental health and homecare services last fall.

In total, it is committed to sweetening the provincial pot to the tune of about $12 billion dollars over 10 years.

But the six provinces that have signed accords with Ottawa so far will see little of that funding upfront.

Based on the one-on-one

deals negotiated to date, Le Devoir extrapolated that Ottawa is poised to hand over not 10 per cent but rather less than 3 per cent of the 10-year envelope over the coming fiscal year.

It is not just on the budgetary front that the Trudeau government may be overstating Trump’s impact on Canadian policy for its own reasons.

Take the refugees that have been showing up in greater numbers at various points along the border. Trump’s determination to ban citizens from a handful of Muslimmajority countries from entering the United States has propelled them into the spotlight.

But when the Canadian Press investigated the phenomenon, it found that the trigger for the steady increase in the number of people crossing into Canada to apply for refugee status was Trudeau’s arrival in power and the adoption of a more prorefugee federal tone.

There is a legitimate government discussion to be had over the impact of Trump’s agenda on Canada’s economy and a prudent government would keep its options open enough to be able to adjust to whatever challenges arise from the policies of the new U.S. administration.

But it is nevertheless fair to ask whether the Trump White House is providing the Trudeau government with much-needed political cover for problems of its own making.

BEY HIVE beyoncé’s

vs

THE FEUD After critics attacked Emma Watson for showing underboob in a Vanity Fair photoshoot, she responded by saying “Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women.” Beyoncé fans, more commonly known as the Beyhive, seized on the apparent hypocrisy. The fans, somewhat of a proxy for the notoriously media shy super star, pulled up a Watson quote from 2014 in which she questioned how Beyoncé could count herself a feminist while at the same time making sexy music videos.

On Defence Prominent feminists Watson’s full quote begins: constantly go after Beyoncé “I’m quite nervous to bring it for not being the perfect up because I still haven’t really feminist, and that gets tiring. formulated by my own ideas Black feminists are especially about it…” So she knew she tired. Like, Rip Van Winkle was on shaky territory, but still Tired. tried thinking out loud.

Vicky, In Charge of Feminism, Decides

The Beyhive wins. The Hive always wins.

Hard Powder, an action movie in the early stages of production, had applied to Parks Canada for permission to film some scenes in Banff, above, and the Columbia Icefields. getty images

Film barred over First Nations storyline

movies

Parks Canada blocks shoot in Banff after concerns raised A movie production team was denied permission to shoot in the Rocky Mountain national parks after Parks Canada staff learned the film’s plot involved an Indigenous gang leader.

“They expressed a real concern that this was not something they would favour,” said Mark Voyce, location manager for a film project that had been scheduled to start shooting later this month.

Voyce is working for Michael Shamberg, a film producer whose past credits include movies such as Erin Brockovich, A Fish Called Wanda, Garden State, Gattaca and Get Shorty.

Shamberg is currently working on a project called Hard Pow-

der, a crime drama ostensibly set in a Colorado ski town.

Action star Liam Neeson is to play an honest snowplow driver whose son is murdered by a local drug kingpin. He then seeks to dismantle the cartel, but his efforts spark a turf war involving a First Nations gang boss, played

by First Nations actor, musician and Order of Canada member Tom Jackson.

Director Hans Petter Moland had hoped to shoot scenes in Banff, the Lake Louise townsite and ski hill, and the Columbia Icefields.

“He was enamoured of the beauty of the Columbia Icefields,” Voyce said. “He was very stubborn in insisting that if we were going to come here, that it was to shoot parts of these films in the national park.”

Voyce, who has previously organized movie shoots in national parks from Newfoundland’s Gros Morne to Pacific Rim on Vancouver Island, said the team began the application

process with Parks Canada in December. He said he believed that by last week, only a few details needed to be cleaned up and that permissions would be granted. Then, late last week, came a phone call.

“They phoned and asked, ‘Is the leader of the rival gang in this picture First Nations?’ We said yes. That became an obvious last nail in the coffin for us,” he said.

“They didn’t want to offend anybody. They (said they) would get back to us, but they had grave concerns over subject matter.

They told us that in almost exactly those words.”

On Monday, Voyce received a letter from Parks Canada listing eight requirements, including the possible need for an environmental assessment.

“We’re looking to start filming on March 20 and can’t really push our schedule,” he said.

“That, frankly, is a death blow for us.”

Voyce said much of the information requested was included

in the original application.

In an email, Parks Canada confirmed it has concerns over the script.

“The Government of Canada is committed to reconciliation and nation-to-nation relationships with Indigenous peoples, based on a recognition of rights, respect, co-operation and partnership,” said the response from spokeswoman Meaghan Bradley.

“In addition to some administrative details and outstanding documentation, Parks Canada’s commitment to reconciliation and respect for Indigenous peoples was an important factor in the agency’s final decision on this matter. Parks Canada maintains the right to refuse applications that are not in line with Parks Canada’s mandate or operational priorities.”

Such decisions are made locally by staff at the parks where the request is made, said Bradley.

The decision was made despite a letter of support from Jackson.

“As a consultant to this pro-

duction, I have taken a strong stance to ensure that the humility and integrity of First Nation roles do not cross the line of disrespect to my culture. I don’t feel my culture is insulted even slightly by the script,” he wrote.

“Hard Powder will be made regardless. The question is whether we deprive our own, or do we harvest for our own?”

What matters in a ‘garbage soul’ non-fiction

Scaachi Koul’s ‘catalogue of misery’ sure to strike a chord

With the internet, you can yell at me and it costs you nothing.

I don’t know what they can say that I haven’t heard already.

Sue Carter

For Metro Canada Scaachi Koul didn’t set out to write One Day We’ll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter.

She began working on her personal essay collection two years ago, at age 24, intending the book — which she refers to as “a catalogue of misery” — to be a much lighter read. But when Koul’s editors at Doubleday Canada pushed her to dig deeper into her “garbage soul,” the underlying tenor of the book shifted.

“It’s a lot about loneliness and trying to make a connection, and it’s a lot about how your history informs where you’re going,” Koul says. “I’m happy where it went, but sometimes you do need an editor to tell you that you don’t have to be glib all the time.

That was a hard lesson for me.”

as an editor at BuzzFeed or on Twitter know that she’s an allcaps force who doesn’t suffer fools or anonymous online trolls gladly.

The sly, cutting sarcasm — and the misery — still reverberate through One Day We’ll All Be

Dead, but they’ve been tempered, leaving breathing room for Koul to share more vulnerable observations of her life and her roles as a young woman, a girlfriend, a best pal and a daughter of Indian immigrants. She wrestles with Western beauty standards

and ethnic stereotypes, and the horrifying reality of rape and surveillance culture, familiar to any woman who has spent a night at a bar watching her drink in fear of getting roofied.

“It’s much easier to write down an anxiety or a fear you

have, but then cut the tension with a joke. There are portions of the book where I didn’t do that.

People were telling me sometimes you have to let a moment land,” says Koul, who describes the feeling of releasing the book as being akin to photocopying your diary and handing it over to a gang of junior-high girls.

“As much as my instincts were telling me to say, ‘Here’s a terrible thing that happened, but don’t worry, everything’s fine,’ that’s not always the right move.

Writing generally is an exercise in being insecure. Of course, it feels uncomfortable and exposing.”

Koul also didn’t anticipate that her relationship with her family would become the heart of One Day We’ll All Be Dead. Each chapter opens with an email exchange with her father, whose own surly charm will be familiar to anyone who follows Koul on Twitter. Although Koul talks about the specific ways in which she’s inherited her parents’ anxieties and the generational disconnect she feels as a child of immigrants, there’s a universal quality to her interactions with her family that is reminiscent of American humorist and essayist

David Sedaris, whose writing she loved from a young age.

“I have to write like they’re already dead, otherwise every essay will come out as very stilted.

I’m sure there’s stuff that will make them uncomfortable reading it,” Koul says. “I don’t think my dad wants to read a chapter about my pubic hair, so I won’t recommend it. My mom will read it and she’ll cry, but she’ll get over it.”

One group of readers that Koul isn’t worried about is the legion of online trolls that have been harassing her for the past few years. In One Day We’ll All Be Dead she covers the personal toll the threats have caused, but says she doesn’t expect that they’ll actually make an effort to buy, let alone even pick up her book.

“There’s a fee to enter. With the internet, you can yell at me and it costs you nothing and so that’s where they live,” she says.

“I’m not super-concerned, and at this point, I don’t know what they can say that I haven’t heard already. Do your best. What can you say at this point to take this away from me?”

Put your roofing needs in trusted hands When you need a new roof for your house or garage, there’s plenty of businesses in town vying for the job. But there’s only one Alf’s Roofing, serving satisfied customers for more than 40 years with expert workmanship, superior customer service and competitive prices.

“We’re family owned and operated with crews that have worked with us from 10 to 30 years. We pride ourselves on having that expertise to do prompt, quality work,” says company estimator Derek Newman.

Throughout the season (March until

the snow flies in October/November), Alf’s Roofing will do a free estimate for homeowners for residential re-roofing jobs.

A showroom at 904-77 Ave. (off Sherwood Park Freeway) gives customers the option to stop in to see the wide variety of colour options and types of shingles that Alf’s Roofing supplies and installs — even

to take home a piece to see how it looks up against the house siding before deciding.

From cedar shakes to all the popular and latest technology shingles (laminated, 3-tab, or architectural fibreglass), Alf’s Roofing carries shingles that are now stronger, longer-lasting and carry a standard 50-year/limited lifetime warranty.

Homeowners can call or email Alf’s Roofing for a quote. Before the busy summer session starts, Alf’s is also honouring last season’s prices this spring. See alfsroofing.com for details.

upset with Competition within Canucks bronze-medal runs para sport heats up Freestyle Skiing

Mikael Kingsbury whacked his pole against his ski in frustration after his final moguls run at the world freestyle ski and snowboard championships Wednesday.

The 24-year-old from DeuxMontagnes, Que., knew bobbling the landing on his second jump would cost him. Kingsbury settled for bronze behind winner Ikuma Horishima of Japan and runner-up Benjamin Cavet of France.

“I felt just a little bit stiff before the bottom air and I got into the jump a bit faster than I expected,” Kingsbury told reporters on a conference call later in the day.

“I tried my best to land in the best position that I could, but I was farther than I expected and I landed pretty deep. It cost me a lot.”

Reigning Olympic women’s champion Justine Dufour-La-

Demands on athletes rise as well — both in time and money Michelle Salt was on life support for seven days after she lost control of her motorcycle and hit a guard rail at 120 km/h.

On her eighth day in hospital, the breathing tubes came out. That’s when she discovered she’d lost most of her right leg.

And on the ninth day, she decided she’d compete in the Paralympics.

“I didn’t know a lot about the Paralympics, but I knew they existed and here was my opportunity,” Salt says. “I set out on being a one-legged fitness model and a Paralympian.”

Three years later, at the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, she was the only Canadian woman competing in the new snowboard cross event. She hoped to achieve a Paralympic double as a cyclist at the 2016 Rio Summer Games, but the competition in that established sport was so fierce that she couldn’t make Anne the national Merklinger team.

Torstar News “You don’t SErvice just show up and they put you on the national team,” she says, noting that snowboarding has also grown dramatically since she started.

That’s one sign of how competitive para sport has become — not just in Canada, but internationally — one year out from the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics.

At the 2014 Sochi Paralympics, Canada finished third in the overall medal table with 16. The goal a year from now in South Korea is to improve on that, says Anne Merklinger, chief executive of Own the Podium.

The nation’s high-performance sport agency directed $10 million of federal sport funding, over four years, into win-

Dufour-Lapointe didn’t make any glaring mistakes, but the 22-year-old didn’t earn enough points from the judges to finish higher on the podium “I’m a little bit disappointed with my result because of course I wanted to win,” she said. “I won’t lie to you about that, but in the same way, but it’s a sport that’s judged.” The Canadian Press

ning Winter Paralympics medals starting with Vancouver 2010.

Increased financial support is part of what has pushed para sport to new heights, says Todd Nicholson, Team Canada’s chef de mission for the 2018 Paralympics, who can chart much of the change through his own athletic career.

In 1994, at the Paralympics debut of sledge hockey (recently rebranded para ice hockey), Nicholson and his teammates were doing everything them-

more on training and competing, with better equipment.

“This is not a ‘oh, poor me’ type of atmosphere. These are all elite athletes trained to compete at the highest level possible,” Nicholson says.

He recalls the late 1990s, when someone who was athletic and hurt in an accident could recover, train and compete internationally in a para sport within a few months.

“We’ve got athletes now, if I look at hockey alone, who were

I knew that I had to make something out of this really bad accident, and being an athlete was it. Michelle Salt selves — from designing their own equipment to figuring out how to get to the venues.

all high-level hockey players recently injured, and it’s taken them three or four years to get to the level where they might be able to compete,” he says.

But the rising level of competition has dramatically raised the demands on athletes — in

training time and money — to the point where many have to retire.

Salt, for example, pays $40,000 to $50,000 just to compete every season. She counts herself lucky, though, having found sponsors to pay half of that. The Edmonton-born 32-year-old works all summer in Calgary, as a realtor and public speaker, to earn the rest. She hopes that will change over time as Paralympians draw more public attention.

It took a few years for Salt to completely come to grips with her new lifestyle. But when she first got her prosthetic, she wanted it to look as natural as possible.

“I wanted to blend in with everyone else,” she recalls.

“When I started walking and realizing how hard it actually was to be an amputee, I thought: I need to embrace this. I need to not be afraid to show I have come this far.

“So I have always rocked my metal. I can’t change it, so why hide it?” Torstar News SErvice

Morris putting others first Curling

Skip has B.C. rolling with unorthodox ways at Brier Three-time champion John Morris is the only skip in the Tim Hortons Brier main draw who throws third but still calls the game.

The setup has worked well for Morris and B.C. fourth Jim Cotter since they reunited last spring.

“There’s people in this world that you work really well with and there’s people that you don’t,” Morris said. “That’s not a knock on anyone. It’s just sometimes you work really well with people. Jim and I are just two peas out of the same pod.

“Just two sort of old-school guys and really good friends on and off the ice. He’s a pleasure to play with so I’ve always enjoyed my time with him.”

The B.C. team started slowly at this year’s national men’s curling championship but has rebounded with five wins in its last seven games.

The latest victory was a 9-1 rout of Jamie Koe of the Northwest Territories on Wednesday morning. Morris pushed local favourite Brad Gushue to an extra end in the afternoon before dropping a 5-4 decision.

Morris remains in the playoff mix at 5-4 after 13 draws at

Barça alive with miracle finish

Neymar and manager Luis Enrique celebrate Wednesday in Barcelona. Getty Images

Barcelona completed the biggest comeback in Champions League history by beating Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals on Wednesday, scoring the decisive goal of a 6-5 victory on aggregate in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

With Neymar on inspired form, Barça scored three times from the 88th minute. Sergi Roberto’s late goal set up by Neymar sent the Camp Nou fans wild and made their team the first to overturn a 4-0 firstleg defeat since the Champions League format started in the 1992-93 season.

PSG seemed certain to go through after Edinson Cavani scored a valuable away goal following Barcelona’s opening salvo of three goals, which included a Lionel Messi penalty.

Barcelona needed three more goals to advance, and the feat seemed impossible even after Neymar found the net with a free kick in the 88th minute.

But the Brazil striker converted a penalty in the 90th

and then followed up with a chipped pass for substitute Roberto to steer the ball beyond goalkeeper Kevin Trapp in injury time.

“This is the best match of my career,” Neymar said. “For the past week I have been crazy to play this match, and we have made history.

“I just told Sergi Roberto to get in the area, that he would score a goal.”

In the night’s other secondleg match, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat trick and Christian Pulisic claimed his first Champions League goal as Borussia Dortmund overcame Benfica 4-0 to advance with a 4-1 win on aggregate.

The Associated Press

Ewen and his teammates jumped in the air as their rock moved a whisker inside the Jacobs stone.

“We’ve probably been pretty emotional winning games,” McEwen said. “But that’s certainly our upper limit I think.”

In the other evening draws, Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard (5-3) had his winning streak end at five games after a 7-3 loss to Gushue. Canada’s Kevin Koe beat Jamie Koe 8-6 and Ontario’s Glenn Howard downed New Brunswick’s Mike Kennedy 8-6.

Gushue and Kevin Koe have 6-2 records, while Jacobs is at 6-3.

Kevin Koe also posted an 8-7 win over Saskatchewan’s Adam Casey, who split his games to sit even with Morris at 5-4. Howard (3-5) defeated Alberta’s Brendan Bottcher 6-3 in the other afternoon game.

Bottcher fell to 3-6 while Murphy is 2-6. Kennedy and Jamie Koe were last at 1-7.

Morris was a skip until moving to third when he joined forces with Kevin Martin in 2006.

They teamed with Ben Hebert and Marc Kennedy to win Brier titles in 2008 and 2009 before adding an Olympic crown in 2010.

Morris left the team in 2013 and teamed with Cotter the following season. They made

it to the final of the Olympic Trials and reached the final of the 2014 Brier.

Morris took some time off before joining the team Koe had left after the 2013-14 season.

They were the Canada entry at the 2015 Brier and won the title after Morris swapped positions with third Pat Simmons midway through the event.

When that team went its sep-

arate ways at the end of last season, Morris returned to the Cotter rink. It has been a good fit with the intense Morris and laid-back Cotter playing nicely off each other.

“I’ve always felt like I could get a good mental map of the ice and have a good strategy,” Morris said. “I feel like it utilizes my strengths the most and also with Jim, he’s just a really good pure rock thrower.”

Canada seeks fairer ranking rugby

Boss Anscombe doesn’t want to be penalized for squad rotation Rugby Canada plans to talk to the sport’s world governing body about a fairer shake when it comes to the world rankings.

Canada fell five spots to No. 23 in the latest World Rugby rankings after going 1-4-0 at the Americas Rugby Championship with a largely developmental squad.

Rugby Canada wants to be treated the same way as Argentina, whose matches at the six-team tournament are not deemed to be of test-status because it sends a second-string side that plays as Argentina ‘A.’ “We would like to be held to the same standard,” said Rugby Canada chairman Tim Powers, who does not want

Canada rugby coach Mark Anscombe. the canadian press

Canada to be penalized in the rankings when the results do not go its way after sending a young side to gain experience.

Canadian coach Mark Anscombe estimated that his ARC squad was without 12 or 13 top players, whom he elected to leave at their European clubs.

“If I’d brought back all the players, their clubs would have kicked up a stink,” he said.

“And that could very much jeopardize their contract for

renewal next time they’re around the table. Because the English, French, Welsh teams all want their players. They get overseas players to help them through that period when their own national players are away with the national team.”

Anscombe’s approach, like Canadian coaches before him, is to summon such elite players for the most pressing games, like World Cup qualifiers, and high-profile tests.

The Canadian men started the ARC ranked 18th in the world, losing ground throughout. A drop in the world rankings can have consequences, leading to lesser fixtures and perhaps less funding.

“We’re prepared right now to sacrifice the world rankings to build towards June (tests) and towards the World Cup. And that’s not without risk,” Powers conceded.

“It’s something we’ll continue to look at.” the canadian press
