Grain luring bears to death on train tracks WILDLIFE

U of A prof says no easy answer for rising issue Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton

BLOW ME DOWN Trees, power lines and patio furniture fall victim to ‘intense’ wind and rain metroNEWS

A few grains falling from a train could be hazardous for grizzly bears in Canada’s national parks.

University of Alberta biological sciences professor Colleen Cassady St. Clair has co-authored a study on why bears are getting hit while scavenging for spilled grains on the rails. Canada has recorded an average of one or more train-related grizzly deaths per year since 2000, after only one in the previous 15 years.

“Here’s this beautiful, charismatic species being hit by Canada’s iconic transportation mode in Canada’s first national park.

The combination is pretty distasteful to people, and rightly

so I think,” Cassady said.

For the study, researchers put GPS trackers on 21 bears in Banff and Yoho National Parks.

They found most bears avoided the tracks, but the ones who scavenged for grains tended to be skinny teenage bears with low societal status, who would be easily scared off other food sources by adults.

Cassady said there is no simple solution. Putting barriers in front of railway tracks would decrease access to natural foods in already stressed areas.

Railway companies and the Canadian government have invested millions to retrofit train cars but have not entirely succeeded at preventing spillage.

With the new information, Cassady said, researchers will start studying ways to prevent bears from being surprised when the trains roll down the tracks.

“We are working on a warning device, and we’re working on data to try and experience the rail as bears do,” she said.

Mayor touts innovation STATE OF CITY

Iveson pitches Edmonton as self-driving cars testing hub Jeremy Simes

Metro | Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson says Edmonton “must get a heck of a lot more competitive as a region,” as oil revenue shows no sign of returning to its previous boom levels.

Iveson delivered the annual Mayor’s State of Address Wednesday at the Shaw Conference Centre, with a speech focused on innovation in the wake of economic change.

“The halcyon days of another oil boom may well not return. Be nice if they did, but we can’t bet on it,” Iveson told the crowd.

“Political upheaval, protectionism, climate change action, and the economics of supply and demand have all changed Edmonton and Alberta. Likely permanently.”

He pointed to moves designed to boost cooperation — like a new regional company that will work to attract

Mayor Don Iveson at the annual address for the city of Edmonton. KEVIN TUONG/FOR METRO

investment to the entire metro region — as steps in the right direction.

“After years of relationship re-building, we’re finally committed to “hunting as a pack” — maximizing the worldwide market appeal of 1.3 million smart people and an $88 billion economy,” he said.

But there’s more to it than that, he added.

Iveson said Edmontonians

must continue to be inventive, whether residents are drillers, engineers, home builders or public servants.

He pointed to the federal government’s recent investment in Edmonton as an artificial intelligence hub.

“Artificial intelligence, otherwise known as AI, sounds like science fiction, but it will soon affect nearly every aspect of our lives,” he said.

And Edmonton is already getting on the AI wave, he added.

“We’re attracting some of the finest researchers around.

Their partnerships with big industry players and small start-ups will only expand,” he said.

“It’s not crazy to imagine Edmonton as a hub for the testing and deployment of self-driving cars, because we’re

becoming that good at this kind of work.”

So what has Edmonton achieved so far?

Iveson referenced the new downtown bike grid, which will offer a new mode of transportation for a city with one of the largest numbers of millennials in the country. He also pointed to the city’s work to allow lot-splitting for homes and eliminate “highly-restrictive” parking requirements.

“We’re in a friendly battle to attract and keep the kind of people who’ll ensure Edmonton doesn’t stand still,” he said.

But there’s more work needed on that, he said.

That means the city must continue to up density and improve the transit system, he said, noting such improvements would make inner city communities thrive and reduce greenhouse gases.

“These are all things Edmontonians want for our city but, to get them, we need to embrace change,” he said.

As for collaborating with metro region municipalities, it will be an opportunity for Edmonton to innovate, he said.

“This city of quiet confidence is on the verge of something extraordinary,” he said.

“I’m inspired by the opportunity to make change ours.”

LEGISLATION

New rules to protect workers The first major overhaul of Alberta’s workplace rules in almost 30 years proposes that workers be allowed to take unpaid leave to look after themselves and loved ones without fear of losing their jobs.

The Fair and Family-Friendly Workplaces Act introduced Wednesday also would bring maternity and compassionate leave up to federal standards and set new rules for overtime and vacation pay.

People working for an employer for 90 days would be allowed to take unpaid leave if they were sick, injured, had a death in the family, a missing child or were the victims of domestic violence.

Overtime would be banked at 1.5 hours for every hour worked instead of straight time. Minimum annual vacation would be two weeks off paid at four per cent of an employee’s salary.

Employers would also be prevented from charging gas station and restaurant workers if customers left without paying.

The changes would allow for a union to be certified without a secret ballot if more than 65 per cent of employees had verified membership cards. Less than 66 per cent would still require a vote.

Suites ‘untapped potential’ affordable housing

new rules

One researcher believes they can be made more accessible Omar Mosleh

Metro | Edmonton Secondary suites in backyards or above garages are often proposed as a way to increase urban density—but new research suggests they remain out of reach for most Edmontonians.

Researcher Ashley Salvador conducted a study on Edmonton garage suites for her undergraduate thesis at the University of Dalhousie, and found that 46 per cent of them are being rented out to family or friends of the owner.

Furthermore, 75 per cent of garage suite owners had an income of $100,000 or more, and many of them funded and built the suites themselves, she said.

“In terms of the social aspects, a lot of people are building for aging parents, and similarly a lot of people are building for university-aged students … homeowners are playing the role of developer,” she said.

But new amendments proposed by city council Wednesday designed to make development faster and easier, could also make the suites more accessible to low and middleincome earners, if approved, Salvador said.

“It really entails higher costs when the process is prolonged and when the build time is not quick and snappy … making that process simple enough (for average people) to access will reduce costs as well,” Salvador said.

A big part of the issue is cost.

suite from conception to construction usually ranges from $150,000 to $200,000, she said.

But the process can also deter people – a person also has to acquire a development and building permit for approximately $2,500.

There’s also the chance that even after acquiring necessary

approvals, neighbours could appeal the construction of a garden or garage suite because it’s currently a discretionary use rather than a permitted use, which means they’re not guaranteed and need to be approved on a case-by-case basis.

That’s one of the changes the city proposed Wednesday.

“With the proposed changes if you follow all the rules and meet all the regulations, you have clear sailing,” explained senior city planner Anne Stevenson.

Salvador said making it easier, cheaper and faster to build garden/garage suites will go a long way in increasing Edmon-

ton’s density while providing more affordable options.

“I think this is something Edmonton has huge potential to take advantage of, compared to other cities … some cities don’t even have laneways and we have this huge untapped potential just waiting to be utilized.”

New rules for backyard garden or garage suites proposed Wednesday are designed to give residents a more ‘livable’ experience, according to city planners.

If approved, the new rules would allow for more living space and varied designs, and wouldn’t require homeowners to automatically notify the entire neighbourhood about plans to build a garden suite.

City councillors at the urban planning committee voted Wednesday to recommend Edmonton adopt the new changes, though they still have to pass a public hearing later this year.

One of the biggest changes would allow homeowners to build a garden suite that has more than one level. Currently, only one floor — either upstairs or downstairs — can be used for living in, said senior city planner Anne Stevenson.

The push to change the look and size of Edmonton’s garden suites is a result of planners wanting to increase density in the core while rejuvenating older neighbourhoods.

Some community groups have pushed against such changes, arguing infill has put more stress on neighbourhoods, whether that’s through more people using the drainage system or more cars congesting neighbourhood roads.

Surgery recipient can now ‘ear’ you adaptation

Man born with birth defect has a story that is worth hearing Omar Mosleh

Metro | Edmonton

Michael Brown showing off his hardly noticeable prosthetic ear at a forum held by the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine on May 24. kevin tuong/metro

For 35 years, Michael Brown was known as “the guy with one ear.”

Due to a birth defect, he was born with one ear and endured bullying as a child, stares as an adult, and having to always sit in a certain part of a movie theatre to hear anything.

But thanks to reconstructive surgery at the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine, Brown today has two functioning ears, and when he tells his story of adaptation after prosthetic surgery, his audience is eager to listen.

“I was defined by what was missing, not who I was as a

person … now I explain myself in a different context and I embrace what I am now,” he said at Patient Powered, a forum held Wednesday by the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine, which is where his new ear was constructed.

Today Brown serves as an advocate for the work the Institute does, to highlight the life-changing work the institute achieves while encouraging others to consider reconstructive surgery to improve their lives.

“My adaptation has changed, where my role has changed as an educator,” Brown said. “I always wanted to be the same (as everyone else) … I already was, but I have a different role to tell now than I did then. Instead of being a patient in pain, I’m a patient who’s empowered.”

Other patients, such as Kimberly Flowers, a head and neck cancer survivor, shared how her participation in Institute programs as an informal patient mentor with the Ears, Nose and Throat Clinic’s Head and Neck

I was defined by what was missing, not who I was.

Michael Brown

Cancer Support Group helped her deal with the emotional trauma of having her tongue reconstructed from tissue from her forearm.

“It allowed me to express my true experience without self judgment or judgment from others,” Flowers said. “I soon learned that the creative process could be a healing tool.”

The Institute is a partnership between the University of Alberta Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, Covenant Health and Alberta Health Services, and is motivated by the resilience of its patients, hence the name of the forum, said executive director Timothy Troy.

“It’s the courage and commitment of our patients that empower us to do those things.”

‘Intense’ winds and rain slam the city Weather

tonians were without power at some point Wednesday, as a spring storm slammed the city with strong winds and rain.

EPCOR spokesperson Tim LeRiche said as soon as the winds picked up just after noon, the calls started coming in reporting issues from flickering to total blackouts.

“In some cases you might have a tree branch in a power line that takes out power to a

house or a handful of houses, and then sometimes you’ve got a circuit that takes out an entire neighbourhood,” he said.

Speaking late Wednesday afternoon, he said the estimated number of people without power had dropped to roughly 1,500, but some would likely remain so until the early hours of Thursday morning as crews worked to get power back online around

the city.

According to measurements taken at the airport, gusts Wednesday hit 96 km/h mid-afternoon. Wind took out not only power lines, but trees, signs and bus shelters around the city.

Those looking to escape didn’t have much luck either, as outgoing flights were temporarily halted at the airport and multiple arrivals diverted or delayed.

Kids in care must be heard: Advocate Alberta’s Child and Youth Advocate is urging the province to listen to kids in care after a teen “who often seemed to be invisible” died by suicide.

Advocate Del Graff released an investigative review Wednesday into the death of a 15-yearold First Nations youth referred to in the report as Levi.

The report describes Levi as kind, helpful to others and someone who enjoyed the outdoors, skating and bike riding.

Because he was exposed to neglect, homelessness, poverty, violence and addiction he was involved with Child Intervention Services from a young age.

“Levi’s story highlights the importance of a balanced focus in addressing the problems that parents experience with the needs of the child,” Graff said in a release.

The investigation identified two issues with the government care Levi received.

First, his needs were not considered equal to his mother’s, and second, although he “voiced his concerns and wish-

es when he was a young child,” it’s unclear whether his opinions were heard.

“Levi was a quiet and reserved young man, who often seemed to be invisible to almost everyone of importance in his life,” Graff added.

“My hope is that his experience will demand systems pay greater attention to young people who might otherwise not be heard.”

After several years in and out of care Levi returned to live with his mother for several years during which the report said it was “unclear where he was living or how his basic needs were met,” although he “rarely” attended school.

He died by suicide when he was 15.

“We need to do better,” Minister of Children’s Services Danielle Larivee said in a statement.

“It is very clear that, in this case, Children’s Services did not do everything possible to support this young man to grow up safe and healthy.”

Economy Ottawa unveils plan for ‘supercluster’ innovation The federal government is calling on industry leaders from select sectors to propose “superclusters” of technological innovation that promise to create jobs and spur economic growth.

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains kickstarted the national competition Wednesday for $950 million in seed money

that will help set up these hubs of investment and research.

The idea is to establish not-for-profit consortiums of small and big businesses, academic researchers and other groups that will serve as nodes of investment and innovation for key sectors of the Canadian economy.

“I would summarize it in three words: Jobs, jobs, jobs,” Bains told Torstar.

Taken too soon

The names of the 22 victims killed by a bomber at a Manchester concert on Monday night have not been officially released, but here what’s known about them so far: Michelle Kiss was a mother of three children, a loving wife, sister and daughter — and “family was her life,” her loved ones say.

In a statement released to Manchester police, her family said: “She has been taken away from us and all that love her in the most traumatic way imaginable.”

The Daily Mirror newspaper reported that Kiss attended Monday’s concert with her daughter.

Her daughter was reported to be safe and was photographed being hugged by a police officer.

An off-duty female police officer was among those killed at Manchester Arena in the bombing of the Ariana Grande concert.

Cheshire Police, the force she served with, confirmed her death on Wednesday but declined to provide further details. British media reported that she was with her husband and two children, and that all three others were injured in the bombing.

of Holmes Chapel, south of Manchester, was described by a teacher as “a very popular girl, always smiling, always positive.”

Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School and Sixth Form College said police had confirmed Nell died at the scene of the

bombing Monday at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.

Head teacher Denis Oliver said in a statement Wednesday that the school community was devastated by the news.

Oliver also confirmed that another Year 9 student, Freya Lewis,

was badly injured in the attack.

Teenager Olivia CampbellHardy, who went to a school near Manchester, was at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester with a friend on Monday night.

Tottington High School in the town of Bury said the school

community was “absolutely devastated and heartbroken” at the news Wednesday that Olivia was killed in the blast.

The school said Olivia, reportedly 15, had been with a friend.

Her mother, Charlotte Campbell, who had been appealing online for news of Olivia, wrote in a Facebook post early Wednesday: “RIP my darling precious gorgeous girl Olivia Campbell taken far, far too soon, go sing with the angels and keep smiling mummy loves you so much.”

Saffie Roussos, 8, is the youngest victim identified so far.

In a statement, the head teacher of the Tarleton Community Primary School that she attended in the village of Tarleton, Lancashire, described her as “simply a beautiful little girl in every aspect of the word.”

A Polish couple who had come to collect their daughters from the concert in Manchester are among the dead, Poland’s foreign minister said Wednesday.

Witold Waszczykowski said the daughters were unharmed.

Security forces rounded up more suspects Wednesday in the deadly Manchester concert blast and soldiers fanned out across the country to national landmarks as an on-edge Britain tried to thwart the possibility of additional attacks.

Officials scoured the background of the British-born ethnic Libyan identified as the bomber, saying he was likely part of a wider terrorist network. Additional arrests were made both in Britain and in Libya in the bombing that killed 22 people and wounded scores more. Among those taken into custody in Libya were the suspected bomber’s father and his younger brother, the latter of whom confessed to knowing “all the details” of the attack plot, authorities said.

Authorities raided British properties thought to be connected to Salman Abedi, the suspected bomber.

British Home Secretary Amber Rudd said Abedi “likely” did not act alone in the strike at the close of an Ariana Grande concert Monday night and that he had been known to security forces “up to a point.”

Militants besiege Philippine city Marawi

President warns he may expand martial law nationwide Daesh-linked militants swept through a southern Philippine city, beheading a police chief, burning buildings, seizing a Catholic priest and his worshippers and raising the black flag of Daesh, authorities said Wednesday. President Rodrigo Duterte, who had declared martial law across the southern third of the nation, warned he may expand it nationwide.

At least 21 people have died in the fighting, officials said.

As details of the attack in Marawi city emerged, fears mounted that the largest Roman Catholic nation in Asia could be falling into a growing list of countries grappling with the spread of influence from Daesh, also known as the Islamic State group or ISIS, in Syria and Iraq.

The violence erupted Tuesday after the army raided the hideout of Isnilon Hapilon, a commander of the Abu Sayyaf militant group who has pledged allegiance to Daesh. He is on Washington’s list of most-wanted terrorists with a $5-million reward for information leading to his capture.

The militants called for reinforcements and around 100 gunmen entered Marawi, a mostly Muslim city of 200,000 people on the southern island of Mindanao, Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

“We are in a state of emergency,” Duterte said Wednesday

after he cut short a trip to Moscow and flew back to Manila. “I have a serious problem in Mindanao and the ISIS footprints are everywhere.”

He declared martial rule for 60 days in the entire Mindanao region — home to 22 million people — and vowed to be “harsh.” “If I think that you should die, you will die,” he said.

“If you fight us, you will die. If there is open defiance, you will die. And if it means many people dying, so be it.”

But he said he would not allow abuses and that law-abiding citizens had nothing to fear. the associated press

CHANTAL HÉBERT ON TRUDEAU’S PICK FOR THE LANGUAGE FILE

The government says the more arms-length process has been slowing things down. But there’s little that’s arm’s length in the process described.

At this time last year, Madeleine Meilleur was a longserving cabinet minister in the Liberal government of Kathleen Wynne. Over her 13 years at Queen’s Park she held a number of portfolios under two premiers. Her initial time in the legislature coincided with the Ontario tenure of both of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top aides Katie Telford and Gerald Butts.

When Meilleur left active politics last summer, she had her heart set on securing a Senate appointment. That was until it was made clear that Trudeau’s more independent Senate was no place for a justretired Liberal politician.

That is how she came to set her sights on the then-soon-tobe-vacant post of commissioner of official languages. She applied for it like anyone else.

Before and during her years in politics, Meilleur had been a strong advocate for Frenchlanguage rights. Earlier this month her name emerged as the prime minister’s choice for the post. But that is not to say that the process that led to the decision was a blind one.

Meilleur says she had chats about her application with Telford and Butts along the way. And it was Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly — according to her spokesperson — who conducted the final interviews.

The official languages commissioner is one of eight agents of Parliament.

The auditor general is another, as is the chief electoral officer. They report to Parliament, not the prime minister.

The collective mission of these officers is to act as independent watchdogs in their designated areas of expertise.

The term “independent” is an operative word in their job definition, or at least it was until Meilleur’s proposed nomination. That there is less than a degree of separation between Meilleur and Trudeau’s Liberal government is not in question. That closeness is unique in the history of similar appointments.

Among the half dozen that served as languages commissioners since the post was created in 1970, only one, Victor Goldbloom, was ever active in electoral politics. The others hailed from academia, journalism or were career diplomats.

Goldbloom had served in the Quebec cabinet of Robert Bourassa. But the parallels with Meilleur stop there, for he left the National Assembly more than a decade prior to his federal appointment.

In the interval, he had held a number of non-partisan positions. And while Goldbloom had been a provincial Liberal MNA, it was Tory prime minister Brian Mulroney who put his name forward.

This is Trudeau’s first proposed appointment of an agent of Parliament. There are more to come; more than half the positions are filled on an interim basis. In some instances, as in the case of the chief electoral officer, the length of the hiatus is unprecedented.

Marc Mayrand left his post five months ago after having given six months’ notice. The government says the quest for a more arms-length meritCHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, PRINT

based process has been slowing things down. But there is little that is arm’s length in the process described by both Meilleur and Joly’s office. Based on their accounts, the only feature that is more transparent than ever is the wall that should stand between government officials and the selection of independent parliamentary watchdogs.

The opposition parties have not signed off on the nomination. They have complained to the Speaker that the prime minister ignored his legal obligation to consult them prior to the announcement.

If and when Meilleur’s name is put to a vote in the Commons, her appointment might only carry because the Liberals hold a majority.

appointment devoid of consensual support in the other house. It does not help that some of the associations that toil on the front of French-language rights have expressed concerns over the integrity of the process.

This comes at a time when the Liberal government has presented legislation that could clip the wings of the parliamentary budget officer.

To say that there is widespread opposition suspicion that the Liberals, like their predecessors, like watchdogs best when they are on a leash is an understatement.

In the last election campaign, Trudeau accused Stephen Harper of having turned Parliament Hill into “a partisan swamp.” He said he would clean it up. It is hard to reconcile that promise with an appointment that fails the non-partisan smell test.

The Donald is travelling the world. So far, the trip has proved that Trump may not be the youngest president but he certainly is it most childish.

It has been a successful trip insofar as he hasn’t yet tickled the bottom of a major world leader or tried to rename the Vatican to Trump Church.

Joining hands with his mentors in despotism, Egyptian President el-Sissi and Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, President Trump launched the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology.

The Internet exploded with jokes based on three men standing in a dark room with their hands on a glowing ball.

It’s what the Internet was invented for.

Here’s the thing though: It looks cool. It looks exactly like what any selfrespecting child would imagine the presidency to be like.

After Saudi Arabia, the President’s tour took him to Israel where, in a truly presidential manner, he managed not to casually reignite a catastrophic war between Israel and Palestine.

He took some pictures at the Western Wall and wrote in the guestbook at the Holocaust memorial.

His message of hope: “IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO BE HERE WITH ALL OF MY FRIENDS - SO AMAZING &

WILL NEVER FORGET!” Truly, he’s going to have so much to talk about with all his friends when everyone gets back from summer camp.

Donald Trump, Kid President, is having a whammo-blammo time.

Take, for example, his trip to the Vatican: the photos show him grinning from ear to ear while Melania, Ivanka and the Pope stare deadpan ahead.

He must be ecstatic because the Vatican buildings are slightly less bedecked in gold than Trump Tower.

Already he’s winning.

Still, it wouldn’t be a visit to church for the Kid President without being assigned some homework from Pope Francis.

The pontiff gave Trump a copy of his encyclical on climate change as well as his 2017 World Day of Peace message entitled: Nonviolence - A Style of Politics for Peace. At their level of power and influence, this is the equivalent of being given, “When You Give A Mouse a Cookie.”

Now that he’s visited the homes of three major faiths – Saudi Arabia for Islam, Israel for Judaism, and the Vatican for Catholicism – his itinerary takes him to two more centres of faith: Belgium for Bread and Italy for Pasta.

Carbs may not be a religious faith for all, but they certainly are for me.

For his first major foreign trip, it’s been a whirlwind. Nine straight days without at least two visits to Mar-A-Lago.

Poor Kid President. He must be exhausted.

How I feel close to home?

I keep Kenya in my heart by keeping it on my feet. Every summer, I put on a new pair of beaded sandals that someone transports from Kenya. I transport myself around the city I’m in now with shoes from where my past lies.

Vicky Mochama

Origin Stories: Becoming an ordinary family in extraordinary days I was five years old when I touched down at Toronto’s Pearson airport in November 1994.

The plan: Experience Canada for a bit, then go back to Kenya.

We’ve been here for 23 years.

Our story is extraordinary in its ordinariness. In the apartment buildings where we spent our early years, there were hundreds more families exactly like us, before and after our tenure.

The promise of education and prosperity kept my family here. For others the choices weren’t as ambitious; home was less a place to return to and more of a hope to find.

Our extended stay started when my dad was awarded a scholarship to study in Canada for the second time. He’d come once before, alone, to the University of Manitoba. But on this journey, my mom accompanied him and then my three siblings and I followed one year later.

Not that I knew any of that at the time.

Kids are an oblivious bunch. All I knew was it was very cold, but in exchange, I got a fabulous bright pink jacket. So, how bad could it be?

Winter was hard, but keeping food on the table was harder. The scholarship provided just enough to cover rent.

My mother’s late nights and early mornings “There was no support for families,” says left my dad — a mathematician of towering my dad. “You were on your own.” intellect — as the cook and hairdresser of Nearly 90 per cent of the scholarship three girls.

While my dad’s education was the reason we were in Canada, it was my mother’s resourcefulness that allowed us to survive.

Our collective existence — the solid core of my world, my family — is due to my mom’s fortitude. I was a child. To quote Robert Hayden, “What did I know of love’s austere and lonely offices?”

That I know men can be pushed past their traditions and masculinity is because of my dad.

Those years seem really far away now.

We’ve settled in. Now, when I return to Canada from travelling, it’s like flopping onto a well-worn couch at home.

I hope, however, to never forget that my ease was put together by grit and adversity and all the things that make good life worthwhile. It was in those extraordinary days that we became an ordinary family — loving, selfless and united.

The Great Canadian Baking Show

There is nothing less inspiring than a Canadian franchise of a foreign reality show. Except if it’s based on The Great British Baking Show. Because, believe it or not, for many Canadians baking can be exciting stuff.

Caught Allan Hawco returns to the CBC for the first time since Republic of Doyle for Caught, which will air in winter 2018. Based on Lisa Moore’s novel. David Slaney (Hawco) escapes from prison after he is imprisoned over a drug deal.

“If it’s not here, then how do you know it’s missing?”

Hawk asks.

They ponder. “But if it is here, then it isn’t missing?”

Lucy asks.

More pondering. Hawk says he’ll find what’s missing via his heritage. Lucy stares at a packet of Easter chocolate.

She gasps.

“I know what’s missing!” she says. “The bunny! I ate that bunny!”

They discuss the bunny at length. “It’s not about the bunny,” Hawk declares.

He ponders. “Is it about the bunny?” Ponder. “No.” Twenty-seven years ago, the original Twin Peaks was radical television.

Watching this, you realize how many tropes pioneered by show creator David Lynch have seeped into Peak TV: introducing characters without explanations.

The use of sound to disorient, rather than orient (low buzzing hums create anxiety, while squishy plops instead of footsteps gross us out).

The dragging out of scenes well beyond normal, to make us bored yet jumpy.

The partially lighted night scenes, in which we only catch glimpses of things.

The body horror (eyes sewn shut, trees with blobs of flesh).

But the scene above is also identifiably Lynchian. It’s so deadpan, we ache to find it funny. It feels so pointless, we yearn to freight it with meaning.

It’s his world — familiarly unfamiliar — and it’s extremely weird to be back in it again.

Twin Peaks airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on The Movie Network and CraveTV, and is available on demand.

Mike Clattenburg of Trailer Park Boys fame stars in a quirky comedy about a man who moves in with his parents... and can relate to raccoons. Well, nobody thought Trailer Park Boys would last, either.

The criticism of Lou Reed’s classic hit Walk on the Wild Side as “transphobic” at an Ontario university has reignited the longsimmering debate around the impact of cultural sensitivity on campuses and whether there’s a chill on freedom of speech and topics that could offend.

In a now-deleted Facebook post, the University of Guelph Central Student Association apologized for playing Reed’s 1972 tune during a recent cam-

pus event. “It’s come to our attention that the playlist we had on during bus pass distribution on Thursday contained a song with transphobic lyrics,” read a portion of the post. A portion of Walk on the Wild Side was inspired by the late Holly Woodlawn, a transgender actress who appeared in Andy Warhol films.

The student union’s post was widely decried by admirers of the late rock icon. The student union’s controversial

apology points to the larger debate around whether post-secondary institutions are growing overly risk averse in a bid to avoid rankling community members.

Several on-campus controversies with free speech themes have cropped up this year, including the debate surrounding Prof Jordan Peterson’s refusal to use gender neutral pronouns at the University of Toronto, and the stepping down of McGill University Prof Andrew Potter following

a controversial article he wrote for Macleans magazine.

Michael Kennedy, co-author of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms’ Campus Freedom Index, said the dustup over Walk on the Wild Side is an example of “kneejerk reactions” by student groups. The Guelph student group declined comment when contacted by The Canadian Press but said it would be releasing a public statement.

‘Canada’s scariest writer’ returns horror fiction

Andrew Pyper’s latest novel is a reflection of monsters within Sue Carter

For Metro Canada Andrew Pyper always keeps his office door shut while he’s at home writing. Ostensibly, he did it to keep his kids from coming in and destroying the space, but after his wife asked why he keeps his office closed off, Pyper realized that perhaps he was ex-

periencing a deeper need to keep his monsters contained within.

Dubbed “Canada’s scariest writer,” Pyper spends a lot of time in that room plotting horrific situations and inventing creatures intended to keep readers up late at night. “Closing that door was a symbolic containment of the dark stuff I was imagining,” he says. “It was some small concession. Going into these dark worlds every day may not cost me psychically or personally, but they should be treated with respect and kept out of reach.”

Pyper’s new novel, and his ninth book, The Only Child, follows bestsellers The Damned and The Demonologist, which established the Toronto auth-

or as international horror royalty (often compared to the crowned ruler, Stephen King). The Only Child came from observing the evils in the current cultural and political world. He was distressed by the number of people, mostly in positions of power, who seemingly lack the capacity to respond and feel in human ways, which got him thinking: “Where do monsters come from?”

Pyper’s research for the novel began with an “Aha!” moment — in which the author realized that every modern monster stemmed from Mary Shelley’s 19th-century Gothic horror novel Frankenstein, Dracula by Bram Stroker and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

by Robert Louis Stevenson. “Specifically, some version of the reanimated dead, or the parasite or vampire, or the psychotic or possessed, the demon within,” he says.

And so Pyper attempted to create the most evil entity of them all.

The Only Child imagines a nameless 200-year-old man, who not only contains the sinister attributes of all three monsters, he actually inspired the creation of the famous literary figures.

The monster targets Dr. Lily Dominick, a forensic psychiatrist in New York, who, as a child, witnessed the mauling death of her mother by an unidentified creature thought to be a bear. Following a violent incident involving a colleague, Lily is lured by him on a journey that traverses continents, time and history.

“I think the monsters that Shelley, Stoker and Stevenson conjured — hybrids of the disfigured with the recognizably human — we see ourselves in the creatures just as we are horrified by them.

They act as bridges between ourselves and aspects of ourselves we’d rather not look at.”

NHL

Game 7 preview

Sens, Pens both have the belief they will move on to Cup final The Ottawa Senators have had a knack for doing the unexpected this post-season. They’ll need to do it one more time to advance to their first Stanley Cup final in a decade.

The Senators take on the defending champion Penguins in Pittsburgh on Thursday night in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final. The Senators are 0-5 all-time in Game 7s, tying them with the Arizona Coyotes for the worst record in all of North American pro sports.

But this team has repeatedly rebounded after being written off in these playoffs, most recently in this series. After losing backto-back games to the Penguins, including an embarrassing 7-0 beating in Game 5, the Senators put forth one of their best efforts in Game 6 to take a 2-1 victory and force the deciding game.

“I remember coming home after we lost 7-0 and I was driving home talking to (defenceman Dion Phaneuf ) and he was like ‘We’re going to get this series’ and I was thinking the same thing and

it’s how do you think that after you lose 7-0?” said Ottawa forward Clarke MacArthur. “So we got one of the two and we have a job to do going into Game 7.

“I believe in the group we have and I know when we play our game and if we’re on we can beat any team in the league and if we’re off, you can have an off night. I feel like this team, I’ve never

been on a team that reloads as quick as we do and that’s what this time of year is all about. It’s forget it, move on and we did that and now we have to forget last night too.”

Unlike the Senators, who haven’t played in a Game 7 since the 2012 Eastern Conference quarter-finals, the Penguins are in very familiar territory. They were in the exact same position a year ago as they faced the Tampa Bay Light-

ning in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final where they went on to win 2-1. Two weeks ago the Penguins eliminated the President Trophy-winning Washington Capitals in Game 7 with a 2-0 victory.

Not surprisingly, the Penguins see their familiarity with Game 7s as an advantage.

“We’ve gone through this, we know what to expect out of our group,” said Penguins forward Matt Cullen. “We have a comfort level with our plan and the way that we need to play. These are the fun games to play.

So as a group, we go into it with a lot of confidence, knowing that we’re going to need our best game and expecting that we’ll bring it.”

The win earned United the bonus prize of a place in next season’s Champions League.
