Trade talks intensify in run-up to Trump tariff deadline

PM said he'll speak to the President directly, as negotiators met with the U.S. Commerce Secretary

ASHUA MORROW WASHINGTON MANGEE WALSH OTTAWA

Canada and the United States have still not landed a trade deal just a day before President Donald Trump's latest tariffs are set to take effect, and Ottawa has signalled that it will relocate, threatening to beat up an already breaking year-end a half-long continental trade war.

On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney's chief emissaries sat down with Commerce Secretary Howard Lattuck, one of Mr. Trump's most influential cabinet members, who could unlock the tariff relief Canada is seeking but has a history of dashing with the country's leaders.

Mr. Carney, meanwhile, said he has a

plan if the new tariffs of 50 per cent on 10-Bus-billion worth of Canadian goods are imposed at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, adding he would speak with Mr. Trump directly before him.

Three sources with knowledge of the talks said the U.S. is holding firm to its position on autos, leaving one of the toughest issues to crack for the final deals to a deal.

Two other sources said it was also possible that the U.S. would offer a brief extension if talks are close by late Tuesday but haven't concluded.

The Globe and Mail is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to disclose details of the confidential negotiations.

Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, and Canada's chief negotiator James Chavette met with Mr. Lattuck at his Washington office Monday. They were joined by U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Casso.

"We're going to continue working," Mr. LeBlanc told reporters at his left the meeting after about an hour and 45 minutes. "Our job is not yet done."

While Mr. Casso is in charge of negotiations and has been Mr. LeBlanc's main interference the past month, Mr. Lattuck with significant influence over Mr. Trump.

His department also directly administers the auto, steel, aluminum and ferretar tariffs that Canada is trying to get reduced in the talks.

Elections Alberta seeks help from other provinces to run referendum asking residents about secession

MATTHEW SCADE LAUSART

Ahead of the vote that could lay the groundwork for Alberta's secession from Canada, the province's elections agency says it is soliciting help from the rest of the country to make sure its Oct. 19 referendum runs smoothly.

Elections Alberta is seeking experienced, skilled staff from its counterparts in other jurisdictions to support the agency during the massive undertaking, which will require millions of ballots to be counted in just 45 hours, spokesperson Mara Hanrahan said in a statement to The Globe and Mail.

The elections staff potentially being pulled from other provinces are in addition to at least 60,000 poll supervisors, hal-

lor box clerks, scrutinyers and other workers needed, a hitting push the agency has called "one of the largest information recruitment efforts ever undertaken in Canada." By contrast, roughly 15,000 people were hired for Alberta's 2023 provincial election.

But as of two weeks ago, the agency had received just 20,000 applications from prospective election workers. Mr. Hanrahan said, Retaining officers are already reaching out to successful candidates.

"Obviously, we're not there, but we're going to continue that recruitment as long as we need to - right up until the event date," Jennifer Markedie, the agency's director of election operations, said in an interview. The agency said it needs experienced staff from other provinces to "add expert resources" - particularly for the

continuous 40-hour ballot count that will follow the 10-hour voting day. Mr. Hanrahan said the cohort of skilled out-of-province workers is separate from the 60,000 people it's trying to recruit, and that it's normal for provinces to help each other during major votes.

The massive recruitment push is among multiple provinces weighing on Elections Alberta as it prepares for a flurry of electoral activity between the fall vote and the province's next general election, scheduled for Oct. 18, 2027.

On Monday, Premier Danielle Smith's government added another date to the calendar. A by-election to be held Sept. 14 in the Calgary riding previously held by her former environmental minister, Rebecca Schulz.

Quebec, Newfoundland reach deal on Churchill Falls electricity

KONRAD TAKKAPOSEI

ANALYSIS

Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador have salvaged a deal to jointly develop untargeted hydroelectric resources on the Churchill River, thanks to hefty subsidies and insurance hedging from Ottawa as Prime Minister Mark Carney seeks to kick-start major infrastructure projects and double Canada's electricity production by 2030.

The new agreement to its potential investments of $10 billion in new hydro, wind and transmission projects along the river, which runs through Labrador to the Atlantic Ocean. That is more than twice the amount contemplated under a 2024 memorandum of understanding between Hydro-Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, the fate of which had been in peril since a 2024 change in government in St. John's.

The total amount of new capacity could approach 5,000 megawatts (MW), based on average energy consumption, that amount of electricity would be enough to supply between five million and nine million homes.

The revised deal, which the utilities seek to finalize by Dec. 25, would involve a decade-long dispute between the two provinces over the nably low price Hydro-Quebec pays for power from an existing generating facility at Churchill Falls. But with a full election scheduled in Quebec, the new deal could end up caught in political turbulence similar to what the MOU faced.

From loudest bark to smartest nose, Corgis test their skills at a growing international race

LUDAS DAPKUS VILNIUS, LITHUANIA

It's not all about short-legged speed when no corgo gaffed for an international race celebrating the little dogs. There's a costume parade, the "smartest nose," and - of course - the loudest bark.

The fifth Corgi Race Vilnius drove dogs and their owners to the Lithuanian capital's Virgis park on Saturday for what organizers said was the biggest edition yet. There were competitions from Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Estonia, Germany, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, the United States and Britain - the country most closely associated with the breed, for meadows a favourite of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

"In the first year, we gathered 40 corgo from one city. This year, it's no from nine countries, and for the first time we have a parties part from the place where the breed originated," organizer Edvinas Miskas said.

"We call Vilnius the European capital of corgo, and when people from the breed's homeland start coming to us rather than the other way around, that title begins to sound a little more intense."

Ninety-four dogs look part in the main running event, competing in qualifiers, semi-finals and the final.

In the final, which pitted corgo against each other over 25 metres, the winner was American competitor GL short for Gautam the Girl Dog. Another U.S. entrant, Mr. Corgington, finished a close second. Lithuania's own Moka, a two-time former champion, was third.

But much of the program dispensed with speed to explore the other skills of the dogs - and their owners.

There was a costume parade featuring 40 corgo in diverse outfits including a dinosaur suit, a dress and doggy sports gear. Amigo swept both the four judge jars and the public Facebook vote for a flawless costume entry with a knight-like look.

In the "smartest nose" challenge, dogs searched for hidden treats. Latvian sergec Tora and Raitti shared the win.

And then there was the loudest bark competition. The first British competitor, "Lycca"-old, Pembroke Welsh corgi Duke from Sedbergh in northwest England, didn't participate in the main race because of his stately age but was a hopeful in the hurling stakes also as his owner put it, training for his whole life.

It was Mr. Corgington who won the loudest bark contest, though. He was one of the most travelled competitors. The final race offered him a romantic after he finished second against GL at a major race at Emerald Downs in Auburn, Wash. - her second consecutive win there.

Half of the corgo registered in Vilnius this year were taking part for the first time. But six veterans - costume winner Amigo, Fokas, Fokas, Nadeira, Balka and Donagai - have attended every edition.

MPs launch probe into security screening after arrest of Canadian alleged NATO spy

Commons national security committee will look at how intern accused of espionage passed the vetting process

HARRY MOOLY OTTAWA

MPs agreed Monday to launch an urgent probe into Ontario's security screening and monitoring protocols after a Canadian intern was arrested on suspicion of espionage at NATO's headquarters in Belgium.

The public safety and national security committee decided to launch a study into how a terrorist public servants were suspected by Belgian prosecutors of ageing on behalf of a third country, was able to obtain access to the military alliance's headquarters.

The three meeting study will begin before MPs officially return to the House of Commons from their summer breaks into exploration. Public Safety Minister Guy Johansson, and other witnesses, will be called to give evidence.

The Conservative's visit to call a center of crime security experts to testify, including the head of Canada's spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CIS), and the Prime Minister's national security committee's opinion.

At this emergency committee meeting Monday, Conservative MP Mihaela Kinkani argued that a probe was necessary to determine whether Canada had "missed a strong sight or red flags" before the Canadian intern was given clearance to work at NATO's open-door hotel hall.

"Canadians deserve to know what security screening for instance, was conducted before this individual was granted access to one of the world's most sensitive military institutions. We used to understand what information someone like this individual would have access to, whether any sensitive material may have been compromised, and what steps can be taken," Mr. Kinkani said during Monday's committee meeting.

The educational a motion that said the spying allegations "raise serious questions

regarding how an individual now accused of espionage was able to obtain access to one of Canada's most important military alliances."

The motion said the committee should investigate "the security screening information sharing, and monitoring processes that were in place."

The intern, identified by Belgian authorities as a Canadian national of Chinese origin, was working at the military alliance's command centre, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SMAP), in the southern Belgian city of Nune when the was arrested and detailed in custody last month.

The Belgian prosecutor's office said, after her arrest, that she had come to the anterious-of-SMAP's security services, which reported their concerns to the country's military intelligence agency.

Belgian authorities have not released her name, but a national security source identified her to The Globe and Mail as Street Zhang, who also goes by the name Claire Zhang.

A second national security source con-

firmed that the allegations involve China. The Globe is not identifying the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the case.

The 22-year-old worked at federal government departments including Statistics Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada (SDSC) before beginning the NATO internship.

Since her arrest, Ottawa has faced questions from experts and former senior public servants after a few hordes engaged to gain security clearance from Ottawa to work at NATO.

Before she started the internship, Mr. Zhang had been ordered to stay by the Public Service Commission of Canada to complete a course in effect if the took a federal public service job within a year after being found to have committed fraud in applying twice under two different names for a job at the Canada border between Agency (CBA).

Mr. Zhang sought a judicial review of the federal candidacy's ruling, with her lawyer-against that the proposed committee measures were "disproportionately

hardy" but a Federal Court judge dismissed her appeal as you are not under-door. Federal Court documents from the Mr. Zhang having also submitted more than one application for a trial at Statistics Canada, which opened this and consolidated the applications.

An investigation by the Public Service Commission's into her conduct also found she had mistakenly claimed on the applications to CBA that she had worked at a government department where she had never been employed. She had stated her eligibility was Public Service and Province of the Canada (PSPC), where she had never worked.

Mr. Zhang, according to an investigation report by the commission submitted to the Federal Court, had explained that because English is not her first language she had confused PSPC, where she did work with PSPC, she had made a few mistake in both applications to the CBA.

Military Election spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada, previously told The Globe that the federal government, "fif-lowing security assessments provided by CSD, makes the final decision to grant, deny or revoke security clearance for Canadian's vetting positions with international organizations, including NATO."

Prime Minister Mark Carner, at a news conference in Toronto called this month, "the security screening Canada's screening processes need others."

He said "Any time you have a situation, you should take, you take stock and take lessons from this."

The country said the probe into Mr. Zhang is "an active investigation," which denied what he could say.

"He only thing I would add physically to that Canadian officials have been involved from the start," he added.

CSD told The Globe that it is assisting the Belgians with their inquiries.

"Canada's law enforcement and intelligence agencies maintain strong relationships with domestic and international partner agencies. As the PTAs is shared, we are working with Belgian counterparts as the investigation and legal processes continue to unfold in Britain," CSD spokesperson Eric Rabain said in a statement.

Alberta mulls two-year experience requirement for truck drivers

SARA HOLTENBERGER

Alberta is considering new two years that would require aspiring truck drivers to have two years of general road experience before obtaining their commercial licence.

In an interview with The Globe and Mail, Alberta Transport Minister Devie Decrden said the move is part of a suite of efforts to improve road safety and "clean up" the trucking industry.

"The first time we plan to plan all experience of driving a regular vehicle, you can at least experience the four seasons of weather that we have been in Alberta, as well as the driving comfortable with how people drive to the province," he said.

The province will examine its road safety laws this fall, and could introduce the proposed 6-year-old change at that time. We will also have a new

Those at the helms of heavy-duty vehicles should "try the best drivers on our roads," he said. "We've seen how of statistics of accidents as well as anecdotal evidence of curing had truck drivers on Alberta in 1980."

However, the two-year experience requirement could present

An experience requirement could present issues for a trucking sector that is struggling to afford drivers, not industry leader says. (CIT) GOLDMAN: NYS GLOBE AND WALL

issues for a sector that is struggling to attract drivers, and Robert Harper, president of the Alberta Motor Transport Association, which represents more than 2,000 trucking companies in the province.

"I don't think it's something that industry's been looking for," he said. "We talk about issues of being able to get people and the driving profession, and I think this would no another bit of a better way."

If the same measures are not

introduced in other jurisdictions, it could also drive young Albertaish self-sellers out of the province, he added.

Mr. Decrden said the ministry is exploring whether eligibility would require experience driving with an Alberta standard driver's license, or if out-of-province experience would qualify.

Since October, 2019, the province has also shut down a steady trucking carrier, including a firm, Conquer Transport, that was described in Manitoba over

safety issues but later set up in Alberta under a slightly different name, Conquer Transportation.

As previously reported by The Globe, one of the firm's trucks was involved in a fatal accident in Brandon, leading to calls for a national trucking registry to better track bad action.

A Globe investigation published earlier this year found that poor information sharing and road penalties are undermining enforcement efforts in the trucking sector. In later, The Globe is called that Conquer Transport was granted permission by the federal government on their occasions to hire temporary foreign workers, after its safety license certificate was revoked by Manitoba regulations in 2021.

In recent months, Alberta has also prevented some air-dramatic carrier companies who move jurisdictions to evade injury leave from setting up in the police, and identified their fraudulent truck driving schools.

While all provinces require commercial licence candidates to have a valid general standard license, not all impairs a time of agreement to become a luxury, and much driver (publicly) or Prince Edward Island, however, both mandate two years of great

al driving experience; Nova Scotia and Newfoundland require one year.

In January, 2021, Ontario will impose a six-month general driving experience requirement for those seeking a license to drive a tractor-trailer.

"Equating tough habits, president of the West Coast Trucking Association, which advocates for fair working conditions for drivers, said he supports stronger guardians around commercial licensing to ensure aspiring truck drivers to be admitted to experience on Canadian roads prior to accreditation.

"I would second it very strong by," he said of Alberta's proposed policy.

Mr. Decrden said the province is considering a two-year experience period, rather than a shorter term, because a similar requirement already exists for 45-year-old drivers in Alberta - who cannot apply for a commercial license until they are in.

"There's lots of places in the world that don't have the reasons and the type of weather that we have here are always," he added.

"So to be able to experience that's something, I know. Think could go a long way in improving the traffic safety in the province."

Advocates criticize immigration checks on protesting international students

HARRY MOOLY OTTAWA

Migrant advocates are calling for an enquiry after immigration checks were carried out last week on international students protesting in Calgary about being denied the right to work in Canada after completing their studies.

For weeks, international students have been protesting in northeast Calgary about their inability to obtain postgraduation work permits. Similar protests promoting Indian students have been held in Edmonton.

In 2019, the federal government has been the case on which international students would qualify for work permits. It had work permit eligibility for college graduates to certain fields of study in order to meet Canada's long-term labour and work.

The Canada Border Services Agency said it was about by Calgary police on Aug. 12 to carry

out "a status check on four individuals" at the international student protest in the city.

The agency subsequently found that two of those decided "were not in compliance with their immigration status," CBA spokesperson Rebecca Purdy said in a statement.

Border officers then carried out checks in pursuit at the protest. These included verifying whether any other protesters may not be permitted to live in Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

"In total, 20 individuals had their status verified, with 16 individuals identified as being possibly inadmissible under CBA. No Purdy said "the individuals were asked to attend the CBA office later that day for a follow-up interview."

The spokesperson said details of those checked could not be provided because of privacy rules.

Foreign nationals admitted into Canada are not able to work

or study unless authorized and are expected to depart Canada for the end of their authorized period of stay," she added. "When CBA's PhD became aware of foreign nationals who may be inadmissible to Canada, CBA's office was left investigate and take any preopular action."

Foreign immigration lawyer Ravi Jain questioned whether the border officers were protested to conduct immigration checks at a protest, comparing their actions with those of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in the United States.

AT has been criticized for ramming checking the immigration status of migrants in the U.S. and rounding them up.

"I have serious concerns that this is KS law," Mr. Jain said in an email on Monday. "Under our immigration legislation, officers may only examine a person if they are making an immigration application or working entry or transit or making a refer

ger claim. These individuals were doing some of those things and were directly impatient to protest. The Charter says the enforcement agencies can't take action without good reason."

Total finance, spokesperson said the regional higher between called for an investigation into why immigration checks were made on migrant protesters, describing what happened as "deeply alarming."

He said border officers "demanded identification and began enforcement against emigrants concerning their Charter-provicted rights to freedom of expression and assembly."

The federal government's litigation into why Calgary Police started a routine interaction at a protest into an immigration-status check, what information you feel shared with CBA, and why CBA expanded four states checks into an enforcement operation against protesters," he said.

Calgary police spokesperson

Chen Egy said in a statement that the domesticities, which have been the case, have largely been puzzled in nature, but has resulted in complaints from the community stemming from forbearance such as excuser moneys, fraudulent tents, fraudulent lawsuits, and other laws and public intoxication."

He said officers were called to attend on Aug. 12 because some protesters were obstructing parts of the sidewalk and impeding pedestrians.

"During the interaction, officers requested identification from individuals who had sat up tents or other structures without a permit or any property. As a result, the police had to be the identification provided, officers contacted the Canada border Services Agency for verification," Mr. Egy said.

It was determined that no criminal officers occurred. CBA was not a member of the CBA and Calgary Community Standards for the duration of the event."

Hong Kong will cockatoos could save species

Urban flock of about 200 birds is genetically diverse and showing well outside of its natural habitat in Indonesia

JAMES JERRYINI JOHN JENKESY AGRICULTURE

Cockatoos are instinctively diverse. Total similar trees in which one is precluded you will even be doing nightmares as the bird, usually for two years amusement, starts playing up the canopy and dropping it to the lives.

This natural habitat of the yellow crested cockatoos is the jungles of central Indonesia, though missing across one to the wild in that vast territory is a relatively unusual ecosystem. About to put over of all yellow crested cockatoos but in a very different environment, Hong Kong

Urban flecks could be critical to maintaining the rest of the critically endangered species of which there are some conservation specimens in the wild. Amusement is deforestation and climate change and the world is a major concern.

'Instead of dominating urban, introduced populations as ecologically redundant, we should view them as a potential biodiversity aid that can actively find prevent extinction,' said biological Aerial Judicisms, local author of a recent study of living in the country.

According to popular legend, cockatoos were originally brought to Hong Kong by British colonial authorities in the early 20s century and released into the wild during the Japanese invasion of Iraq. But there is scant cockatoo for this—the first time it was the accepted cockatoo for long, and gone sequencing suggests most accessible the same aspect of the country at trade.

However the cockatoos arrived, they

have filmed in Hong Kong, with around 200 birds now calling the city house. But there are inherent problems in transitioning from a jungle to an urban environment. Cockatoos live to next in two but low, natural castles in the trunk that unfortunately mean the tree is structurally unsound and could fall during one of the many eyebrows that baffles the city over your personal life. Hiding not only the birds but any human industry enough to be to play.

In recent years, storm damage and the increased killing has meant that Hong Kong cockatoos have between 6000 and 7000 of their natural habitat. In response, in team from Hong Kong University has to gain erecting diverse of nesting house across the city, giving the birds not and we can open in which to lay eggs and nur the few young.

Such house can also come in handy when cockatoos are found in places they are not supposed to be, in happiness. May when a homeowner on Hong Kong Island found food unless coming from the ceiling of her bathroom.

'A pair of cockatoos had got in and laid eggs,' said Harry Wong, a conservationist and ethanol who works with the 1987 team, a child had hatched, and now all three birds were inside the ceiling, scrubbing and squirming and genetically living themselves.

The homeowner did not want to throw the clock out, but equally couldn't leave the birds in place, so the called hadsome harm. A British long nature sanctuary. Experts there said that without its parents the clock would fall in. But, led us Mr. Wong, wearing a harness and helmet, eased himself out of the bathroom win-

dow and, watched by two nervous cockatoo parents, attached out of the team's nesting house to the side of the building.

'We were very close to the look they had been using, and so we put the baby back in the two, hoping the parents would find him again,' Mr Wong said. 'We had to share watching the whole time. Luckily it was a success, and eventually the child grew big enough to fly away.'

Any bird born in a critically endangered species can do the yellow-crested cockatoo to a gift, but predation for the Hong Kong population, which is remarkably genetically diverse and could save day be an important reservoir population for the wider species.

While the 1987 team is actively working to prevent habitat loss, but also two major yellow-crested cockatoos in Hong Kong are safe from another threat that has so devastated the wider population. The pet trade.

'For cockatoos are expensive,' Mr Wong said. 'So people will sometimes try and buy them in that class than away to sell on their own.'

Last year, reporters found a three-month-old cockatoo died, being sold for $4,400 in the city's hotel market. While selling wild caught cockatoo to illegal at the species, the 1987 team's health team has demonstrated Trade in Endangered Species (TESP), Hong Kong, that allow the sale of birds born in captivity — even though there is no unprotected breeding program in the city.

Conversations have long called for the cockatoo to adopt its own real list of endangered and vulnerable species, as translated China first fall in 1992. The government recently pledged a five-year plan that would include greater environmental protection, with the first phase of such a community under preparation.

The could be, for better," Mr Wong said, as a pair of cockatoos squarified loudly from a tree above him. 'There are a lot of endangered species in Hong Kong — we need to listen to co-exist with them.'

Ford says Canada needs 60 water bombers, calls for national strategy

WILLIAM J. JONES Ontario Premier King Ford said the country needs at least to now 60 water bombers.

Ontario Premier King Ford said the country needs at least to now 60 water bombers. And a national fleet to combat wildfires as part of a Canada-wide wildfire strategy.

The Ford made the commons on Monday during a speech at the Association of Naturalists of Ontario's annual conference on Ottawa. The told municipal leaders from Minister Mark Gaw and the premises recently talked about the work of a national strategy.

'We need to go out there and buy at least no fire bombers because they take a long time to build,' he said.

'But we need to all collaborate, put them right across the country from under a road to coast, natural, and the R.C. and all the way out to the East Coast and everything in between.'

Some provinces are already in the state, additional wildlife fighting, and soft from Calgary-based. No Horrland aircraft of Canada Ltd. Alberta announced a plan earlier this year to buy five water bombers from the Horrland for 1,400-million miles this

term announced a similar plan in July to purchase five new helicopters and six new water bombers for fifty-million.

The Ford's office declined to indicate more information about the proposal for Canada to acquire 60 water bombers or how the Ontario government arrived at that figure.

A R.C. government source said Monday was the first time they had found 90 Ford mansion that number. The Globe and Mail agreed not to leave the source due was not authorized to speak publicly about the issue.

The other two were the British Columbia and Ontario this summer, last week's, a fire near Indemetland, R.C., found 20,000 people from their homes, triggering a provincial state of emergency. In July, wildfires in Northern Ontario blanketed much of the province and large swabies of the United States with mangy smoke, and sent multiple First Nations communities during the flames.

Canada does not have a national wildland firefighting strategy, despite long-standing calls to create one 35-plus one of the 60-12 countries that does not have a stand-alone federal enter-

gency program for the agency. The severe wildfires have baffled the push for a national strategy and the development of a Canadian-made water bomber. In June, the Ontario agriculture and forestry committee released a report on a Canadian wildfire response with its recommendations, including that the federal government should under and fund a national firefighting aircraft fleet.

Canada does not have a national wildland firefighting strategy, despite long-standing calls to create one

Said Secretary, vice-president of corporate affairs for the Horrland, said he had been the first 90. Ford's brand number below Monday, but noted that the first year's comments are 'timely.' The company manufactured in 1989, via a new generation of the famous Canadian water bomber planes.

'The source that everyone can get moving on new equipment, whether it's ours or others, the source will have it in

time, by protect people when there are devastating wildfires,' he said.

The Horrland has recently been devastated for a national water bomber fleet.

Mr. Sweetser said the water bomber manufactured had promised the federal government, before last fall's budget that the company would create a second production line specifically for Canada if it ordered up or more water bombers.

If an article of that size was placed, the company could start delivering 30 years, he said, targeting 60 water bombers per year.

Currently, the company has 60 orders for water bombers, Mr. Sweetser said.

The Globe and Mail previously reported that the first 20 planes were 60,000 and are destined to European countries, such as China and France.

Government spokespeople in Alberta, R.C. and Ontario issued statements endorsing the need to co-ordinate wildfire or up to 60 water bombers.

Alberta supports creating a co-ordinated number during the Canadian-made water bombers as demand increases. Ministry of

Forestry and Parks spokesperson Riley Gough said in an e-mailed statement.

Earlier this year, the federal government announced a new 60 water bomber, including 30 air firefighting aircraft and two support assets through contracts with Census Group Inc., Goldman-Milano Inc. and VMI Helixopters.

John Cradell, a lecturer on aviation management at McGill University, said Mr. Ford's water bomber number appears to be 'pudded from this air' and is presented without a clear plan for the 60-12 countries that do not. The planes could either be used as a defensive mode when a fire threatens communities or in attack to douse flames before they grow out of control, he said.

'The question you have to ask is, what is the way that we need about to what the look are about assets going to do, and how do you deploy them, and what type do you get?' he said.

And, with the view, the company just jumping on numbers and millions of dollars without really understanding what is it that we really need at a national asset.'

Energy: New station would be downstream from existing 5,400 MW facility

The new deal also comes with a major source. Half of the 5,400 MW total would come from two projects — 10,000 MW total power plants and 10,000 MW 2,500 MW generating station at Churchill Falls— that are contingent on two publicly studies that could take years to complete.

The area of the revised deal between the two provincial utilities involves the construction of a 1,100 billion, 3,700 MW hydro-per-reating station at Calf Island, up from 1,250 MW projected under the 1987C.

The new station would be downstream from the existing 1,200 MW facility at Churchill Falls. The latter's capacity would be increased by 1,100 MW at a projected cost of 1.4 billion. Another 100 billion would be major on the 1,000 MW facility.

Mr. Carney's government substantially pursued the wheels to facilitate the new deal, putting up millions of dollars in share energy on similar lines and parameters. Federal Government on Calf Island would alone exceed 100 billion.

Perry Council Clerk Michael Saha, who led the negotiations for Quebec on the area, left in 1988 to have the new 1,200 MW building, was a key actor in the talks, along with federal Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson.

Ottawa's aid amounts to an unprecedented degree of federal involvement in a sector that has traditionally been the fiercely protected preserve of the province. But Mr. Hodgson defended the government's position in the approach, which includes federal support for small insulator reserves in Ontario and a new transmission line to British Columbia.

'In a world that is more divided and dangerous every day, where we are starting down the bare local scale war, our Prime Minister and government have been successfully clear that, while we cannot control what others do, we can be able to in our own way to control the built more than others can take away,' Mr. Hodgson said in an interview. 'That is the entire province of our electricity industry.'

Newfoundland's Progressive Conservative Premier, Tony W. Sutton, had dismantled major changes to the 1987/98 grid and by the federal production, Andrew Harry, and former Coalition Air for Quebec premier Premier's leader. Mr. W. Sutton national first move power from new development to source of for economic development in Labrador.

His demands left current CAG Premier's Christian Electricity consulting to save the 1987/98 grid in Oct. 1, 1988. The new 1,200 MW Monday's announcement of a revised deal comes on the one of the official start to the campaign. The

decision must be called no later than long as two is expected to be called a few days earlier. Ms. Henriette's party took its hold and the sovereignty from Quebec in April, leaving the last of the new deal on the 1,200 MW.

Hydro-Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro-arewriters Monday's deal into a definite one agreement by year end. A Pro-government could back out between them.

The 1,200 MW constituted a major breakthrough between the two provinces, which had been leading for decades over a nine-power purchase contract. Newfoundland and Labrador have had a state the contract under which Hydro-Quebec has to prevent the electricity from Churchill Falls at a primary and results in the multiple in Quebec and the United States. The contract has been a fully activated state for the bulk of Hydro-Quebec's profits.

Mr. Sappatt was the first Quebec premier to consider revising the contract, as part because of two major plans for Hydro-Quebec facing a potential energy shortfall in Ontario decades, leading in access to Churchill Falls power beyond 20 g. It critical to keeping hydro-Quebec compactation lower in Quebec than elsewhere in Canada.

The Quebec utility has also set an ambitious goal of nearly downing its capacity by 2050, a goal

that would be much harder and more expensive to achieve without power from Labrador.

The new deal would replace the only contract with a long-term power purchase agreement for Hong Kong, which was 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW.

Hydro-Quebec currently pays a more or a contra-baltoons hour for power from Churchill Falls. Under the revised deal, it would pay an effective price of 7.4 cents a kwh over the 10-year period. The first utility's net cost would be 6 cents a kwh, since Hydro-Quebec is the first one of Churchill Falls and shares in profits from the project.

Unlike the 1987C, the revised deal would allow Newfoundland to sell up to 100,000 of power from Churchill Falls and save develop-Quebec's prevailing market in the White Newfoundland would not technically be allowed to 'whack' power through Quebec to buyers an unpleasantest provision and the 1,200 MW. The Quebec pays for that on 1,200 MW land of power would be based on open market prices in those markets.

The new deal constitutes a political gamble for Ms. Henriette on the campaign to keep the 1,200 MW in the 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW.

Newfoundland's demands in order to save her political power.

The 1973 recently published 'Hydro-land' on newspaper use a PQ-102 Quebec would seek compensation from Newfoundland to the 1,200 MW in the 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW, 1,200 MW.

Still, a 1973 government would have moved from 1,200 MW to Monday's revised deal. Alternates hydro-land shipments in Quebec would not only be more expensive than new projects on the Churchill River but would also likely run into restraints from federal and state communities and other opponents.

What's more, attitudes low water levels in Hydro-Quebec's own reservoir have already taken place in the 1980s, particularly, forcing it to cut historically lucrative exports and import more U.S. power to must produce domestic demand. In 2015, Hydro-Quebec became a net import of power in the first time, with the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s, the 1980s.

Referendum: With electronic tabulators banned, ballots must be counted by hand

FROM A1

Elections Alberta started its drive to find the time of thousands of workers in early June, and chief electoral officer Gordon McClure said earlier this year that up to 10,000 workers could be needed.

The agency has faced a mountain of work since Ms. Smith's announcement earlier this year of the bill referendum, in which residents will vote on questions around provincial separation, immigration and constitutional issues.

Elections Alberta could actually employ many individuals who stand to be directly affected by the work's results, beyond the question on separation. Five of the questions designed by Ms. Smith propose charging temporary residents for health care and education and limiting their access to social support services.

Ms. Markham said applicants don't need to be Canadian citizens to work as an election officer. They are only required to be an Alberta resident and at least at 10-10 years-old, depending on the job, and to pass a criminal record check, she said.

Counting the ballots will also be a Hawaiian task.

Elections Alberta is printing 45 million ballots, as each of the 10 referendum questions will appear on its own sheet of paper fly comparison, the 2023 provincial election required just 2.5 million

ballots for Alberta's entire electorate, plus an extra, unspecified number for damaged or spoiled ballots.

Additionally, the ballots must be counted by hand, since Ms. Smith banned electronic tabulators in 2023, arguing the machines have failed to produce faster results or increase confidence in elections.

When polls close, Elections Alberta will have at least 10-10 report unofficial results. If tumour matches that of Alberta's 2023 provincial election at 1.7 million votes cast, the agency will be responsible for tallying at least 27 million ballots.

Alberta election law doesn't specify what would happen if the agency failed to meet the 40-hour

deadline, the province's Justice Ministry said.

"We are confident in Elections Alberta's ability to conduct the referendum as planned," Heather Jenkins, spokesperson for Alberta Justice Minister Mickey Amory, said in a statement.

A bill owner of 10,000 election workers would allow Elections Alberta to provide "scamless de-

livery" on voting day, Ms. Markedze said. She declined to speculate on how a shortage of workers would complicate voting day and the count, but she said fewer hands would delay the results.

"We will complete the task that's before us with the number of applicants that we do get," she said.

Hiring enough election workers is, by far, an electious agency's most cumbersome and expensive task, said Lorne Gibson, who was Alberta's chief electoral officer from 2023 to 2024. The 10,000 workers hired for the 2023 provincial election fell well short of the goal of 10,000, he said.

"There's not a lot of time left for them to find more workers," he said.

Workers represent at least half the cost of running an election, Ms. Gibson said.

He estimated the final bill for the referendum would be between four million and fifty-million, including wages, leases for polling stations, printing ballots and other costs.

Keith Archer, a former chief electoral officer in British Columbia, said counting billion would be the most onerous job on referendum day.

"I suspect people at Elections Alberta are concerned that they may not have the staff to run the referendum campaigns in the way that they're designed to be run," Ms. Archer said.

MAFIA LINK FEARED IN THEFT OF RENAISSANCE PAINTINGS FROM SICILIAN MUSEUM

HOME The theft of four paintings by Renaissance master Antonello da Messina may have involved organized crime and raised troubling questions about security at a museum in the Sicilian artist's hometown, a local official said on Monday.

Enso Caruso, Messina's councillor for culture, said it was difficult to understand how thieves could have removed the works in a matter of minutes without detailed knowledge of

the museum's layout.

"It's a very, very strange affair," Mr. Caruso told Reuters.

The theft on Saturday has shocked Italy and revived memories of the infamous sore disappearance of a masterpiece by Caravaggio from a Palermo church - a case long associated with Sicily's Casa Nostra mafia and never solved.

Mr. Caruso said the stolen Antonello works were so famous that selling them even on the

black market would be virtually impossible, raising the possibility that they could be used as bargaining chips or collateral in criminal dealings.

"The Mafia! It's possible they might try to blackmail the state itself in order to return them. These are the kinds of dynamics that ordinary people never get to see," he said.

He said another possibility was that the paintings could be used as guarantees or currency

within the criminal underworld.

The thieves entered Messina's Accademia Regional Museum on Saturday evening, while the city was celebrating a religious festival that brought thousands into the streets. The burglary only came to light some two hours later when tourists found two Antonello paintings, apparently discarded by the thieves, leaning against the museum-talking.

Kendry Schiflett, the President of Italy, issued a statement to

say the museum's video surveillance system and alarm had been working normally, adding that an internal investigation was under way to see if any museum staff had been involved.

Italy's crack squad of art police are heading to Messina to take on the case, just three days after helping to retrieve paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Renée Mattise and Paul Cézanne stolen earlier this year from a museum near Parma. REUTERS

Ceasfire's fate unclear after U.S.-israeli talks

Israeli troop pullback has been a major sticking point in plan

JULIA FRANKEL DAVID WALKER MARIA SHERIFIA KIKULALDI

A marathon meeting Monday between U.S. legislators Jacob Kushner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left the fate of the Gaza ceasefire unclear, with officials signalling moderate optimism and offering no concrete commitment by Israel to the latest U.S. program plan.

Ramas has already agreed in the proposal American legislators appeared to acquiesce to Israeli demands that Hamas disarmament must come before any counteractive of the devastated Palestinian stricken. The unscrupulous publicity signal that Israel had made any commitment to withdraw its troops from the 60 per cent of Gaza they occupy.

The U.S. has not including point in the plan and one that Hamas had proved negotiable to compel Israel to fulfill prior to the meeting. The talks came also after Mr Netanyahu rejected the support, U.S.-Israeli's total map to move from the 60 per cent of Gaza to the 60 per cent of Gaza.

At stake are the lives of some two million Palestinians in Gaza, including plans and future control over the territory.

In a statement, Mr Netanyahu's office said the talks were "deep and constructive," Israel said the Israeli agreed to establish two working groups—one on the disarmament of demilitarize from of Gaza and another focused on public health issues for Gaza. Israel and the Israeli agreed that the demilitarization "should

be prompt and completed before any counteractive," the statement said.

A Board of Peace official said the two countries agreed that the demilitarization must include "every weapon, light and heavy and every tunnel." The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door meeting.

"Indeed by President Donald Trump, the parties share clear goals: a fully demilitarized and deradicated Gaza that poses no threat to Israel and where Gaza can pursue prosperity and dignity peacefully," the official said.

Another Board of Peace official said the meeting was "very productive" and resulted in agreement on "a path forward".

"The Israelis are going to give this a chance. Now it's up to Hamas to have it's hard to reach to comply," said the official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity.

Aided if Israel had committed to the U.S. plan for Gaza a spokesperson for Mr. Mladraev said it was a "much in progress."

Mr. Kushner, who is Mr. Trump's son-in-law, not United with Hamas, said Khalid al-Hayra in Cairo on disarmament, as one

ing to a regional official and a Hamas official, who both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not addressed to talk to reporters.

Officials from mediating countries fights Qira and Tushka also were there. The Hamas official said the Hamas leader dismuchful Israel hate its attacks on Gaza and withdraw to the so-called "yellow line" dividing the territory before beginning implementation.

The system of the clash is precisely defined, Israeli forces have moved beyond and have control about to per cent of Gaza its May. Mr. Netanyahu said the next step was to make the 2000-centre cent con- tions, with Israel "lightening the gap" on Hamas "from every direction."

Several regional powers including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Nations issued a statement by the U.S. containing Israel's rejection of the total map. They said Israel "now leads in upwindishly for obstructing the efforts to bring peace in Gaza," those agents included Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia and the ceasefire mediators.

The foreign minister's statement called on the Board of Peace and the U.S. to take "immediate and concrete measures" to keep the peace in and defecating the plan's implementation.

Mr. Netanyahu faces a challenging decision on Oct. 29 as he tries to hold onto power with a coalition that includes the better taking a harsh line on Gaza, and in our clear whether he will take decisive steps on the ceasefire before then.

Trump orders cuts to joint military exercises with ally South Korea

CUSTAS PITAK DAVID LANGER MELON KIM

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday instructed the Pentagon to "substantially reduce" joint military exercises with long-term Asian ally South Korea, citing the cost of the drills and Israels refusal to take part in actions against Iran.

Bixter before exercises were scheduled to begin, Mr. Trump said on his "both Social and Air was 'not happy' that the U.S. had agreed to participate and highlighted his 'very good risk-breaking' with Kim Kogun, the leader of nuclear-armed and heavily sanctioned North Korea.

"These exercises are not only costly ... but such a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been ameliorating and respectful," Mr. Trump said. The armed Chile President, Khalid, joint military exercises are scheduled to run until Aug. 22, with about 40,000 South Korean military personnel participating in North Korea's first Check of Staff told Reuters the drills startled on Monday or scheduled.

South Korea's presidential Blue House said it was reviewing Mr. Trump's post and hopes that the friendly relationship between the U.S. and North Korean leaders will lead to meaningful dialogue between the two countries, opening discussions aimed at addressing peace and whether South Korea's President, U.S. will. The allies would continue co-ordinating on their combined defense posture and military exercises, it said.

Responding to Mr. Trump's claim that President Lee Jae Hye-hyun had refused to join U.S. efforts to detnachalise Iran, it said Israel was discussing potential military contributions, while considering its defense readiness to join Korea's invasion and domestic legal procedures.

A Pentagon spokesperson ordered questions on the matter to the White House, which did not immediately respond to a request for action.

Mr. Trump has long sought to end or curtail military exercises with South Korea while claiming with Israel over sharing the costs of automating 44 per U.S. troops in South Korea. The U.S. has been cutting the broader region. North Korea still technically at war with the South, routinely deconstruct the U.S.-South Korean exercises as preparations for an invasion.

"The decision may be part of a larger effort to create a diplomatic opportunity with Propaganda or Trump has consistently wanted since coming back to office, although the haphazard nature of this move is unlikely to make much of an impression on Trump's long, 'Jenny Town, head of the Mansion Center think under 19 North program, said in an event. The relationship between Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim has been a softer counter for years.

Mr. Trump once mocked the whole Korean leader as 'little-violet mate' and threatened Pyongyang with 'fire and fire', while Mr. Kim housed that he would 'tame the mentally dislodged U.S. ahead with fire.'

Yet they also took part in these moments, with Mr. Trump declared "my 'evil' fit in love" after exchanging letters with Kim. None of these efforts led to changes in North Korea's nuclear weapons or ballistic missile development.

Even as Mr. Trump on Sunday spoke warmly of North Korea, he pointed to South Korea's status on the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.

"While somewhat unrelated to the recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us on the Donald-attraction of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, 'No thanks!'" Mr. Trump wrote.

The unclear how the drills could be cut back, but in recent years, they have shifted away from Iran for exercises to some more simulated missile and pb-vertically.

Peter Che, head of the Korea program at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Mr. Trump may be working greater influence over North Korea as Pyongyang has been heavily engaged in support of Russia in Ukraine.

"The other way to look at this is that Trump wrote to engage Kim as a way to impede the

Korea-NS ties," said Mr. Che. U.S. military officials here said North Korean troops, who have fought alongside Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. Fundamental reports met from the conflict, while Ukraine said last week that North Korean-made missiles were used as a Russian ballistic missile attack on a steel plant in Zaporishkia.

A light-scaling U.S. Northern Command official, Lieutenant General Joseph Jarouel, last week warned that North Korea had successfully tested intercontinental ballistic missiles with through-Israel to deliver a nuclear payload anywhere in North America.

While Mr. Trump has repeatedly called for South Korea to shoulder a larger burden of defense costs, a U.S. official this year called Israel a "model ally" committed to increasing defense spending in Iran with U.S. regions of strategy.

There are also broader economic tensions.

A former U.S. official who worked in the first Trump administration told Reuters he believed Mr. Trump to "frustrated with the extravagance" of the South Korea's administration as addressing economic issues.

"The Lee government has repeatedly pursued policies antagonistic to counter a computer and shown little interest in following through on the famous investment that with the United States," the official said.

The countries signed a trade deal last year to lower Mr. Trump's new traffic in exchange for Israeli troops, which are invest 150kgs/billion. South Korea has not announced details of its investment plan. The allies have been at odds over a dispute involving U.S.-Israeli e-commerce company, Guangdong, which is being investigated by Israel over a massive data leak.

Iran now is escalate tensions in Hormuz and wider region as U.S. rules out extending ceasefire

PARISA HAFIZI (U.S.N.A.) KATHARINE JACKSON (WASHINGTON)

Iran will shift to a "fully offensive" military posture because efforts to negotiate a permanent end in the war with the U.S. have stalled, a winter Iranian official told Reuters on Monday, as Washington ruled out extending a temporary ceasefire agreement.

A memorandum of understanding signed in June to end the war had given Iran and the U.S. until Monday to reach a final peace agreement.

Signed on June 10, the memorandum set a 60-day time frame for a broader deal on Iran's nuclear program and U.S. sanctions.

The agreement, which declared the "immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts," quickly second the every dispute about control of the situation. The narrow waterway through which a fifth of global oil and liquefied ground gas forced before the war.

Adequity reporters on Monday if the U.S. was working to extend Iran's interim agreement, U.S. President Donald Trump said.

In one glimmer of diplomacy, media reports said Mr. Trump had opened back almost the scenes with the Islamic Rev-Atatouziy Gazat-Coray, which has become more powerful during the war and controls large parts of Iran's armed forces and the economy.

Asian reported former director of national intelligence Nabi Galhwal spoke with an long-knuckle leader with direct ties to the IHSC, and that through this intermediary the U.S. delivered a message to ISSCI community General Ahmed N. Hall, who was later reported to the U.S. in 2023.

The Trump administration was concerned whether Iran may negotiate actually again for the ISSC, Asian said, at a time when Reuters was reporting that Gen. Vahidi had become a pivotal figure. Gen. Vahidi responded that he was aligned with the Iranian negotiators, Asian said.

"I can't go into the details of it, but I will say that the conversations between the U.S. government and different areas of the Iranian government as all areas نرم quickly move robust than its results over hours," said Kushner. Mr. Trump's son-in-law, said on Monday.

Short-lose comment at Iran began being re-evoked to aidราชice trying to aid through Hormuz on an unsupervised route, and Mr. Trump said on fully that the past was 'over.'

The Iranian official told Reuters the U.S. must meet the extreme of the 96/97 provisions within a few weeks as a pre-existing situation.

Even as Iran projects resilience in the war, its leaders are worried that a threat of more economic punishment could increase hardships, utignity union and further work the Islamic Republic's happiness, according to Prime Iranian officials.

Zambia arrests top opposition members

Government claims they were planning an armed insurrection, which the main national election candidate denies

GEOFFREY FODE

AFRICA BUREAU CHIEF COMPRISES

After days of secrecy, Zambia's government has confirmed that it arrested many of the country's most senior opposition politicians on the night of its national election, accusing them of involvement in an armed insurrection plot with foreign links.

Zambian police arrested the politicians in a raid on the home of the main opposition candidate, Brian Mandalide, who said the allegation of an armed insurrection were completely false and must be retracted.

The government said the police made the arrests Thursday night, just by an after-swing in a home had closed, but it did not acknowledge the arrests until Sunday night, when it issued a brief statement:

"Some of the individuals involved were connected to military plans involving foreign nationals and illegal military training camps. One young a woman threat to state security," admits secretary Patrick Kangwa said in the statement.

"The individuals in some were found in possession of high-grade military weapons, ammunition

and other materials for use in armed insurrection," he said.

He listed six prominent politicians among the 16 people who were arrested and said it was "imposition to mereuse" that Mr Mandalide was "also found on the scene."

Mr Kangwa said there was an exchange of the after people in the house fired shots at the police. But opposition politicians said it was the police who broke into the house and shot first, not only during a former transport minister, Manime Kafwana.

"We do not support violence, nor do we support any attorney/inveterinary or non-commutational order of our country," Mr. Mandalide said, denying the existence of any militia in his political party.

"These are grave allegations with serious consequences for those named and for our country as a whole," he said in a

statement.

Mr Kafwana's family, speaking to Zambian media, said they are living in anguish and uncertainty because they haven't seen him since the police raid and don't know where he is.

Other arrests have reportedly begun. Lukas Simunbua, a newly elected member of parliament, told local media that the police had debated him. The government also alleged that Isaac Zamboa, a lawyer who has worked for the opposition, had tried to cross the border into Zimbabwe. Edgarly and had fled from immigration officials when they approached him.

President Hakanale Hishikima, first elected in 2021, is leading for a comfortable victory in the election, according to results released Monday from about 8 per cent of constituencies. He has a 25 million vote, which 16 per cent of the total – while Mr Mandalide has a 40 million, the electoral commission said.

The opposition listed better in the 2020 contemporary seats, defeating a number of ruling party members.

Zamboa has a reputation on one of Africa's most democratic countries, holding multiparty elections regularly since 1990, with opposition to the 2020 election and taking power peacefully.

During the campaign leading up to Thursday's vote, however, several opposition rallies were dissipated or blocked by police and rock-throating opposition on the ruling party.

On Friday, the electoral

commission suspended its vote count for six hours, citing security problems and threats of violence. Civil society groups and election observers voiced concern at the suspension.

The European Union's election observer misses, in a preliminary statement on the weekend, said the vote was manned by campaign restrictions and violence that had weakened Zambia's democratic rights.

"Key standards for advantages blamed the line between state and political campaigning, creating an uneven playing field," the EU observers said. "State-owned media was heavily biased towards the ruling party."

The electoral commission had introduced a campaign calendar for presidential candidates, with the aim of reducing the risk of violence, but Mr Hishikima was exempted from the calendar, while his opponents were restricted to their movement and ability to campaign, the observers said.

formerly International, in a report last week, said Zambia has suffered "an alarming regression into authoritarian practices." Opposition activists and journalists have been targeted by repression laws, intimidation and surveillance, it said.

Western investors are watching Zambia's elections shortly because the country is one of the world's biggest copper producers. Canadian mining companies, their Quantum Minerals Ltd. and Raeled Mining Corp., are among the biggest investors in the country.

Thousands of people waited for aid on the Indonesian island of Flores on Monday at the country marked its first Independence Day, two days later, a powerful earthquake killed at least 40 people, injured more than 500 officers and damaged thousands of homes.

Many residents on Flores island in East Nusa Tenggara province spent the day moaning victims while military team-mind to deliver food, drain water and clothing to inaccessible communities for plane.

The Saturday morning quake left widespread damage, with buildings collapsed into gutted cars, homes shuttered and trees and headlets floating roads.

"We house is just rubble now," said Saeed Jalal, a clothing maker in the village of Ben, the hardest hit area in Manggarai region. "We need food, medicine and clean water urgently."

During Indonesia's Independent Day ceremony in the capital, Jakarta, President Prabowoono, a former UBBI member, said that the people affected by disaster so East Nusa Tenggara and other parts of the country, while leading a nationwide movement of silence bouncing the nation's independence heroes.

Now than 2,200 homes were damaged when the quake struck Flores island early Saturday, home 16,000 people were forced into temporary shelters and 212 people were forced to return to the National Disaster Management Agency or NDP. The disaster also damaged 122 health

facilities, 212 schools and 16 places of worship.

The province's Governor declared a 14-day state of emergency on Sunday.

The quake occurred at a depth of 35 kilometers shortly before a 2:00. Saturday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and residents fled in panic as roaming sovereigns were issued but later killed. Authorities have since recorded 1,270 aftershocks into Monday, though only 14 were left by residents.

Thousands of people on Flores camped outside collapsed homes under unpunish train overnight into Monday, sleeping outside because of the danger of more aftershocks.

For many residents, the disaster received 2,000 treatments of a powerful earthquake and tsunami that struck Flores in 1991. 2,000 of 2,000 people.

As thousands of survivors remain in need of food, shelter and medical treatment, the government said more than 1,000 military and police personnel have been deployed across the disaster zone, supported by 10 aircraft and several vessels, to distribute more than 100 tonnes of emergency aid.

Nearly 2,000 forest parkups, two field hospital trees, medicines and clothing were being delivered to communities across the disaster zone, as logistical challenges slowed defenses to some hard hit communities, national disaster agency Deputy Chief Abdul Muhari said in a visit to statement.

Authorities said, 10,000 emergency field hospitals in the worst-hit town of Batang in their earthquake victims after local

hospitals were damaged, with two state management teams overseeing a health emergency operation center, Deputy Chief Muhari said.

His also said rescue teams continued searching for victims in the affected areas, although no residents have reported any family members still missing.

Not workers reached tiny False Island, one of the areas closest to the earthquake's epic center, late Sunday, after a difficult sea and land journey through landslide to central authorities said. Thousands of residents remained in urgent need of assistance.

"The roads are steep and many were blocked by landslides. It was a near-thank journey," said the deputy police chief of Nikka region, Maredon Yugo Amboo, whose team was among the first to reach the island with emergency supplies.

He said initial assessments revealed extensive damage, with one village killed, two seriously injured and nearly 150 homes destroyed.

Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 10,000 islands, is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions because of its location on the Pacific "flying of fire," a borershow-shaped arc of storms holds and volcanoes.

Rainfall aids fight against Belgium's biggest wildfire

Rain over eastern Belgium on Monday morning, a dead fire-Eghan's building to contain the country's biggest wildfire occurred, which had threatened to reach the German border.

Wildfires have rapped through Europe this summer after successive events had waves, farfled by climate change, have intensified drought and last-engaged on inside city. Fires have now formed 195,000 hectares in Europe this year, after from the European forest fire (information system shown) – an area twice the size of Luxembourg.

Over the weekend, an elderly couple died as fires swept through the Czech island of Gannina, where 100 people were evacuated by forty after gale fires winds pushed a wildfire-owned residential areas, damaging houses. A blaze in August, in seven-secters' years, destroyed 10,000 hectares, while a fire in the town of Omis, Croatia, forced 1,000 people to evacuate.

In Belgium, weather agency BDI said between fires and nine millimeters of rain was forecast on Monday in the High Fens, a nuclear reserve in the east of Belgium, which has been burning since Friday. The local temperature was set to fall in around 20°C, having knocked 10°C fast winds in a local water source prior to the 2020 temperatures of 15°C.

"This will change everything. In addition to the water associated with rainfall, there will also be an increase in humidity levels," fire department captain Olivier Gaisi told Belgian radio station BTR.

The 2020 high-fen temperatures, large swaths of workers, southern and central Europe were still at high risk of wildfires on Monday, 23/03 (data shown).

Extreme fire risk has become a regular part of Europe's summers in recent years, as butter, dairy weather caused by climate change has combined with other factors – including most abandonment, which has left land unloaded and allowed flammable, dry vegetation to build up in forests – to fuel fast-spreading fires.

Aerosol purpose is one of wildfires are ignited by human activity, such as campfires or discarded cigarettes.

Europe had already suffered for event fire season on record last year, with more than 2 million hectares of land burned, home countries, including France, have smashed through their annual records this year, with the traditional law—legitimate fire season for from 2010.

Dozens of people in the village Le Progr, in southwestern France, where hundreds of homes were destroyed by a magazine last month, forced French Prime Minister Sébastien Lacroix as he visited the area. Residents have criticized the government's response and accused authorities of prioritizing saving wealthier areas.

Belgian officials said the blaze there was no longer spreading toward Germany and was partly contested. Massachusettsans have not yet been allowed to remain home.

The 2020 fireEights from across the country and neighboring Germany and Luxembourg, alongside farmers and the army, have been battling the fire. It has blamed about 2,000 hectares in the nation reserve of merrilized, past and wards – for surpassing Belgium's last record-breaking fire in 2010, which burned down to 1,200 hectares.

What metrics are the right ones to assess a wildfire season's devastation?

ANDREA WOO VANCOUVER

The scale of Canada's wildfire seasons is told through a familiar accounting such summer: the total fire count, the control status of active blazes, the total area burned, the number of evacuation orders and the tally of structures lost.

The figures convey the immediate danger of encroaching blazes and the destruction they have brought. Yet these figures, while important, fail to capture the human experience of a modern wildfire season, researchers say.

Even Canadians bring far from the flames can spend weeks breathing in hazardous smoke, mining work, cancelling outdoor activities and experiencing stress and anxiety.

Climate change, driven largely by the burning of fossil fuels, is also transforming the frequency and intensity of wildfires - and with it, the way that Canadians experience them.

The Globe and Mail spoke with three researchers on the metrics they would like to see included when assessing the true toll of Canada's wildfire seasons. They argued for a broader accounting that captures the health effects of wildfire smoke, the mental-health toll that can reach far beyond fire zones and the impact on First Nations communities.

SMOKE EXPOSURE

In the summer of 2025, a lightning storm in Northern California triggered a series of wildfires that blanketed a large and populated region of the state in smoke for weeks. At a primary research centre on the University of California Davis campus, infant rhesus macaque monkeys housed in an outdoor enclosure were exposed to

to days of wildfire smoke.

Researchers who tested the monkeys three years later found reduced lung size and immune dysregulation - particularly in the female monkeys - compared with a control group.

A separate study found that pregnant rhesus macaque monkeys that were exposed to wildfire smoke gave birth to infants with greater inflammation, a blunted cortisol response, more passive behaviour and increased memory impairment compared with animals conceived after the smoke had dissipated.

Sarah Henderson, scientific director of environmental health services at the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), cited the research in arguing that smoke exposure should play a larger role in how Canada measures the effects of a wildfire season.

"Obviously, monkeys aren't humans, and we don't keep our babies outdoors in cages," she said in an interview. "But there are lessons to be learned here that these exposures - especially in early life - are not innocuous."

Dr. Henderson, who has studied the effects of wildfire smoke for more than two decades, said key metrics when considering the widespread health effects and associated costs of wildfire disasters include the number of smoky days that people experience, the magnitude of that smoke and how those exposures compare with what people would have experienced in a summer without wildfires.

While research on the long-term effects of wildfire smoke on humans is limited, there is a growing body of evidence linking it to an increased risk of chronic conditions such as asthma and dementia, as well as adverse birth outcomes like low birth weight. Short-term effects include headaches and shortness of breath, as

well as eye, nose, throat and sinus irritation.

A Canadian study published in July in the medical journal JAMA found that wildfire smoke was ac-

sociated with a 6-per-cent increase in emergency department visits for migraines and other headache-related syndromes. Dr. Henderson said publicly

available data on wildfire smoke can better inform public health messaging. More detailed, real-time information on exposures - including those that may not be obvious - could inform admission urging people not only to stay indoors and close their windows, but to run air cleaners to keep indoor spaces as smoke-free as possible, she said.

Not scant at the BCCDC recently submitted a proposal to Environment and Climate Change Canada to develop a national dashboard that would allow people to see data on wildfire smoke in their area, and what to expect in the future.

"Wildfire smoke is seen as a nuisance compared with the direct threat of wildfire, and we have to move beyond that," Dr. Henderson said. "It's not just a nuisance; it's another facet of the wildfire disaster."

Health Canada collects some data to inform its wildfire-related messaging. The national Air Quality Health Index (AQHI), a program it jointly manages with Environment and Climate Change Canada, provides information on air quality, including where wildfire smoke is present, and issues preventive advice.

The department commissions public surveys to measure and report on the percentage of people who receive the department's health warnings related to the AQHI, and those who change their behaviour to avoid exposure to air pollution. It then uses the information to inform its public messaging and approach to advisories.

The most recent results, published in 2024, found that 2.6 per cent of Canadians had taken action to reduce their exposure. Categories (2 per cent) and those with chronic respiratory conditions (2 per cent) were most likely to act, but tumors less so

A Canadian indigenous flag flies on a property on Okanagan Indian Band land that was destroyed by the Bradley Creek wildfire, in Vernon, B.C., on Aug. 4.

Smoke exposure, mental-health effects and socioeconomic costs should be taken into account to capture the human experience, researchers say

(44 per cent). An update is expected later this year.

“Health Canada continues to assess approaches to better measure the health impacts of wildfire smoke and to share this information publicly,” Health Canada spokesperson Mark Johnson said in an e-mail.

A new analysis by environmental economist Dave Sawyer estimates the annual cost of wildfire smoke in Canada to be $10 billion, with visible, acute costs such as emergency department visits and cancelled days of work representing less than 3 per cent of the total burden.

But for every dollar of visible acute smoke damage, another $4.9 is attributed to long-term

health issues and premature death as a result of exposure to elevated wildfire smoke over time. Mr. Sawyer wrote for the Canadian-Climate Institute.

A Health Canada study of wildfires from 2013 to 2018 estimated the annual cost of their smoke-related health effects to be between $4 billion to $10 billion, with fire severity and proximity to high-population areas driving the wide range.

MENTAL-HEALTH EFFECTS

One of the least visible consequences of wildfires may be their effect on mental health, Sondch Saberian, Canada Research Chair

in Economics of Climate Change, Dautony and Inequality at Thompson Rivers University, investigated the topic with Janet Currie, a professor of economics at Yale University. They found that even people hundreds of kilometres away from smoke or flames have experienced increased mental-health hospitalizations, particularly for anxiety and substance-related disorders.

In a working paper published in June, 2023, the researchers said while most studies on the mental-health effects of wildfires focus on exposure to smoke, they found additional measurable effects related to evacuation orders, costs and distress about climate change.

These factors can worsen the mental health of susceptible people who live far from a fire, the research found. People with pre-existing health conditions that make them vulnerable are especially affected, as are the elderly.

“It’s not just about smoke exposure or evacuation risk,” Dr. Saberian said to an e-mail to The Globe. “There seems to be a real psychological toll just from reading about it, a kind of climate anxiety that’s distinct from physical exposure.”

The working paper said wildfire-related mental-health hospitalizations cost about $59.4-million annually in the 1st census divisions the researchers examined, accounting for 75.8 per cent of the Canadian population. The true burden of wildfire on mental health is likely much higher, it said.

“The common thread is that our existing metrics were built for property and logistics, not for population health and economic well-being, Dr. Saberian said. “So a season can both moderate by area burned and still be severe on this second dimension.”

DISRUPTIONS TO FIRST NATIONS

Tara McGee, a professor in the department of earth and atmosphere sciences at the University of Alberta, highlighted the significant social and cultural disruptions that wildfires can cause.

Her research has explored the disproportionate impact of wildfires on their Nations, of which 10 per cent are located along the wildland urban interface. During evacuations, family members in remote northern or fly-in communities can sometimes be sent to different host cities, with the separation existing social support networks, Dr. McGee found. The disruption of traditional

land-based activities also exacerbated the distress of displacement.

As well, few First Nations have up-to-date emergency plans tailored to their communities, which has led to logistical chaos and delayed responses during evacuations.

Better tracking of the duration of evacuations and displacements, the distance that evacuees must travel and the number of evacuees who are not able to return home after evacuation orders have lifted would help to illuminate the enduring effects of a wildfire, she said.

More media coverage of a community’s recovery in the years after a wildfire would also help inform the public of its progress, Dr. McGee said.

“There’s sort of a myth that when communities go back, everything’s finished, whereas certainly the social and economic impact of evacuations on communities can extend for quite a long time,” she said.

Natural Resources Canada maintains a database on the number of evacuations and evacuees, evacuation duration and impact on Indigenous communities each year. However, data on the current fire season are used for internal reporting and emergency operations, and are not made publicly available. And figures are approximate, as the database relies largely on agency-reported evacuation data.

Indigenous Services Canada collects First Nations wildland fire and flood evacuation statistics, including long-term evacuations, defined as lasting for more than 60 days. Preliminary figures for April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, the most recent data that are available, show that there were 24 short-term and a long-term First Nations evacuation across Canada because of wildfires.

THE GLOBAL AND WALL | TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2018

EDITORIAL

The subject who is truly liquid in the chief magnitude will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary resources. -Jewish

The betrayal of Jewish students must end

A school that isn't safe for all of its students is a failing school. There is overwhelming evidence of such failure in two new reports on antisemitism on Canadian campuses. Jewish students are not safe, not even in the classroom.

One report surveyed neo Jewish students at the country's universities, colleges and other institutions. It was commissioned by the federal government and authored by Jack Jolwab, head of the Association for Canadian Studies & Metropolis Institute, a black tank on integration and inclusion. The other was commissioned by Toronto Metropolitan University, and written by retired Ontario appeal court judge Mary Lou Renette.

Both make clear that an outcome form of antisemitism - opposition to Israel's existence - has mentioned itself since the Hamas' terror attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, and the bloody war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza that followed. Campuses, some more than others, have become places of services, vilification and at times, violence.

The national report calls the fault of urgency in the schools' response: an 'institutional betrayal.' Ms. Renette's report, similarly, makes clear that TMI's failing in its legal and moral responsibility to protect Jewish students and faculty members against discrimination, harassment and intimidation.

Already, some observers are trying to minimize, deny, deflect. Imagine any other group - Black Canadians, or bridge some people or women - being told that the experiences they've lived are not authentic. That their perception around their own safety is not to be trusted. That would be tightly seen as part of the problem, rather than an honest critique.

Like any group, Jewish students deserve to be heard, to be so confront the sad and harrowing truth. Seventy-one per cent in the national survey reported antisemitic vandalism, 60 per cent said campus was not safe and inclusion for Jews, 14 per cent reported intimidation or threats, and 24 per cent reported physical violence directed at Jews. And 14 per cent said antisemitism is a serious problem on campus.

Especially revealing, 73 per cent said they limit what they say about being Jewish while in class. So toxic is the climate, they feel the need to be instable. Seventy-two per cent said campus antisemitism has affected their mental health, 60 per cent have lost friends.

Listen to their voices: "In an international law class, 'a Jew, oh student recovered,' 'my professor asked the Jewish students to raise their hands, and I felt very uncomfortable as no one raised, so I chose not to." Imagine a professor asking queer, Russian or Chinese students to identify themselves. They wouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.

Another said: "I was told by a professor, in class in the middle of the lecture, that Jews belong in Poland and need to go back." One student said their professor "forced students to find positive connections between the Black Lives Matter movement and Hamas." Others said that the people who grade their academic work have pressured them to sign petitions and attend pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The report calls that a 'betrayal of academic norms of fairness, integrity, and responsibility.'

As both reports show, Jews who don't renounce Israel's existence are treated as unlucky. "The indefinitive of Zivianism to incorporate genocide and the insistence that anyone who fails to actively support anti-Zivianism is likewise culpable," Ms. Renette writes, "have contributed to an environment that has enabled antisemitism to flourish." A Jewish lecturer says it's "incredibly unsafe" to wear a tear of David, and even organizing a non-political Sabbath almost requires such assessment. Ms. Renette reported.

This is not about isolated episodes. It is about a poisoned environment. Our learning institutions should consistently stand up for the values they claim to represent. As Ms. Renette in documents, TMI already has policies against violence, threats of violence, and discriminatory, intimidating or harassing work and conduct. Every school should, as she urges for TMI, "establish clear behavioural expectations, protect the rights of all members of the community, and enforce its policies consistently, transparently, and predictable."

In hardly seems too much to ask. Yet TMI has not responded to the night recommendations of the Renette's report, instead announcing an "implementation committee" that has until next March to come up with a "blueprint."

The report - again, commissioned by TMI - already lays out a course of action. No blueprint is needed, just a spine.

The argument is that we should modify our dairy tariff rate upon the net because Donald Trump asked, but because trade treaties should be binding. In other words, we should honour our commitments.

Canadians may modelize the dairy TAU administration following the first COVID-19 disease. Subsequently, it won the second dispute.

If the rules matter, then to do their interpretations. To give us new would be to understand the dispute settlement mechanism

OPINION

Will deference to Carney survive trade war?

The electorate handed over a remarkable degree of trust to the Prime Minister

KENTY REID

OPINION

Principal of Atchick-Neal and director of communications to future prime minister Paul Martin

In the roughly 17 months since Mark Carney struck onto the political scene with his leadership, present of competence, order and calm, the defining attributes of his relationship with the Canadian public has been deference. In large numbers, people have maintained their work in the Prime Minister. Not past their role, nor past their hopes - their trust.

This has been a jaw-crading development.

The situation, the non-communicable, is more apparent across Western democracies was a debate in deference. In 1978, Richard

Marsh passed that our governments were lying to us - and maybe always had been plagued for political leaders, along with confidence in experts, authorities and institutions, created moulds for decades until social media and the broken bargain of globalization accelerated that decline into anger and activism. About a half-century after Mr. Nixon's resignation, our politics have morphed into British, NASA, convoy conservation and growing interest in international relations. It was a trend that seemed certain, a couple years ago, to deliver a majority government to the populist against Power's योजना.

But in 2002, Donald Trump's assault on Canada's economy and even our country's right to exist shifted that trajectory. The unpopular battle Thurlow had left the scene, a damaging trade war had arrived. Anger was diluting into anxiety thaddoids, the idea of meeting NACA's anti-sworphing hostility with a shadow population of our own seemed a lot less sensitive to money voters.

In that moment Mr. Carney appeared as a living champion of the '50s. The war this set Trump

The on-Trudness. The on-Pick-overs. And as an un-pollinant, he brought a manner that seemed ideally composed to manage Mr. Trump, trade and an unravelling world order. Even less balanced determined provided a reason for the result to the President's certain antagonism.

Mr. Carney's election (since 1996) is open, confirmed that Canada had embraced the politics of deference. And in the year 2000, all of its teams, has only deepened the Prime Minister has resided with high-gaping and ratings, a major issue (Opposition 1997) and issue formed his minority government into a majority without recourse to the electorate.

Now, with trade talks intensifying and new tariffs looming, the durability of that deference will face the toughest test.

Will Canadians continue to grant Mr. Carney their trust if it comes poofiting capability of concession and compromises? Can be convinced the public that what's won at the bargaining tables is additional: deep-cre}dness tariffs and put American whistling back on more shelves? If talks of lapse and tariffs met, will come

dense in Mr. Carney dissipate? The answer may lie in a closer examination of what voters were thinking when they turned their false over to the new Prime Minister last spring.

Canadians did not, as many Conservatives and some commentators assert, hire Mr. Carney to simply reach a deal with Mr. Trump. The contract was far more visible and somehow conditioned than the other.

Mr. Carney was chosen to decide for us to employ his particular experience, intelligence and judgment to determine what to do on our behalf. The latter in truth a deal or not. Whether to be a member of the party down. With their votes, Canadians were making a da facto admission of confoundment. They could not imagine how to deal with a one-time and all the income, a rambling and spirited President who turns us as an enemy. And so they turned to the newcomer to figure it all out.

This logic explains how Mr. Carney has been able to produce a more fully controlled wisdom had deemed politically responsible to Canada, such as each

ing pipeline construction, expanding budget deficits and shifting tens of billions of dollars toward defence. It explains why Canadians draw when he goes aflores up, but also accept when he goes aflores down, granting him an astonishing benefit of the doubt promised on the assumption that he must know how how to calibrate against Mr. Trump's belligerence.

Canadians in the Mr. Carney now faces the toughest moment of his premiership. It he manufactures the public mood. 4 assurances are provided only to be transpiled upon. The results it takes for granted - deference could spoil the disagreement, that long-puterness could enable into distinction.

But that seems unlikely. This new en-ability turnover escalates Canadians down if the movement placed themselves in the hands of their former council took governor and asked him to do their deciding. Notwithstanding deep distrust of the White House - or perhaps because of a Canadian government's ability to Mr. Carney, for at least the foreseeable future.

Although he only became High Commissioner of the Engineering of the year, former Iraqi prime minister Barbara Salih has faced intense pressure from the Trump administration. As UNHCR's largest donor, Washington is not positioned to leverage its 'America first' agenda to demand stricter migration policies and tighter institutional spending - and rather than pursuing pragmatic reform. Mr. Salih has chosen bureaucratic resistance.

This is not a simplistic scenario of a supergoneed building idealistic humanitarians. The current tension stems from unnecessary diplomatic friction caused by UN officials during a controversial nomination process in June. By disregarding the long-standing process of allowing the White House to be a 'non-whisker' on the visit-to-it of deputy high commissioner international human-cials opted to openly defy Washington. The UNHCR is effectively during Donald Trump and his administration to withdraw from the mission. Institutions, which risks losing the more powerful on control, for reform-minded UN members to the global asylum system.

a multibillion-dollar bureaucracy-backed society by Western veterans. Over the years, however, critics have argued that the UNHCR has become blunted and insensitive to territorial sovereignty, guided more by progress on advocates and academics than the government it was created to support.

Its formal decision reveals the vulnerability of its current position to the UNHCR is not an independent body but a subsidiary entity bound to follow the guidance of its member-state executive committee. UNHCR's global operations depend entirely on voluntary contributions, and thus, on donor approval. Major funders have every right to apply pressure to ensure the institutions

overs their national interests. By allowing the White House's recommendation for the deputy prime minister and federal appointing a Geneva-based U.S. diplomat, Mr. Salih upheld his preference for the status quo. Reports suggest he buckled to institutional pressure from cancer bureaucracy and UN Secretary-General James G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G.

To avert a capping U.S. funding threat or a complete American withdrawal from the UNHCR executive committee, the agreement prove it can be reformed, and another vision must be taken to compromise Canada can play a constructive role in finding a less-seeing solution that maintains U.S. engagement. With the committee holding its annual general vision in October, Canada - an influential member of the UNHCR executive committee, as the sixth largest donor in 2014 - has an opportunity to bring its middle-power strategy to life with a bold ambition to save one of the UN's largest operational programs.

The best way to prove UNHCR is is obtainable would be to split

the deputy position into two distinct roles: one to restore humanitarian operations and field execution, which Mr. Salih's current choice could retain, and the other dedicated strictly to re-ware management and budgeting, which would go to Mr. Trump's territory. This would simply Washington be a tough and audit concerns, and mirror structures already used in other UN bodies like UNHCR and the UN Population Fund.

Rather than thanking their news at the White House, other major members of the executive committee should also admit they share American concerns about a misguided asylum system that is leading uncontrolled mass migration. This reality was highlighted in the recent Christian declaration where all of members of the Council of Europe - including stanchily progressive Western European nations - agreed that the current asylum system must be remedied to be saved. This non-binding political text explains the self-inflicted dilemmas resulting from costly governors judicial decisions, and that the U.S. flagship the Trump administration's migration-related criticism of Europe and indicating that Washington's stance is far from stable. The U.S. president and socialist pushed Ottawa to tighten border controls and almost its asylum procedures.

In bringing a transactional approach to a failing multilateral institution responsible for refugees, Canada and its European partners would do well to challenge the deadlock-generating status quo on asylum law and prefer it two drivers to defend the current UN bureaucracy instead, so should the prepared台企企 an old-landish life U.S. steps paying the bills.

Americans living in Canada ought to vote in U.S. elections

KATHYNE HIRENE

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

OPINION

Egan Family Professor of Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School

Canada looms the largest populist issue of voting age U.S. citizens outside the United States.

Estimates of its size vary considerably, though. The U.S. government has been suing South Africa on a more frequent basis. Program (FAP) estimated there were about 1000,000 voting age U.S. citizens in Canada in 2002. Target than the voting age U.S. citizens of Wyoming, Vermont, or Alaska.

Canadian statistics suggest a substantially lower figure, plus, by nearly in Canada, report of U.S. citizenship in the 2010 census, including exchange miscalculations.

Either way, hundreds of thousands of persons U.S. voters live in Canada, well more than in any

other foreign country.

Yet voting participation, by Americans abroad is willingly low. FAP estimates only about 1 per cent of voting age Americans overseas can follow its own U.S. election. With such low transition even modest increases in political power, the U.S. government's major cause Canada contains such a large share of the American population abroad, efforts have could have an outlawed effect.

Research on voter participation has found that personal consumption is a major factor in the economic, that suggests internal networks - friends, colleagues and community groups - can play a meaningful role in encouraging Americans abroad to participate. U.S. citizens in Canada can encourage other Americans to vote. Canadians can also re-build their American friends and neighbours that U.S. elections have consequences well beyond the United States.

For Americans living abroad, the right to vote in federal elections is protected by U.S. federal

law under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Minister (or Ag. Act). This law requires states to allow eligible overseas citizens to register and vote absentee and to transmit fullers in a timely manner.

Voters abroad can use the Federal Post Card Application, which combines voter registration and an request for an absentee ballot. The process is manageable, but requirements vary by state and state. In the U.S. state, the U.S. Post Card is a state's first state. The state does not provide clear, non-partisan guidance on how to register and vote from abroad.

Some eligible voters may be encouraged by recent efforts in Washington to restrict access to voting. U.S. President Donald Trump's SAFE America Act, which includes, poorer of citizenship and voter identification on a government, defies/peers the law for better access to the right. An attempt to pass a narrower vote in 10 legislation also failed.

The SAFE America Act is not

dead, however, supporters have indicated that they may try again when Congress returns to the number.

The Trump's March 31 executive order nothing more. Congress is said voting could also affect abroad voters. So legality is being affected in federal court, and its ultimate effect on the 2020 election remains uncertain. But on Aug. 1, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration, declaring the U.S. Postal Service is unpleasant in new mail-voting information, and the 2020 mid-term. The judge wrote: 'The executive friends be no authority to register elections.'

Voters abroad therefore have been forced to move to begin with confidence the voting process (self, making sure they understand the requirement in their state. Given the size of the eligible population and persist with law participation, Americans abroad are expected a largely unstaged electorate.

Canada is particularly important: it has hundreds of thou-

sands of U.S. citizens, close cultural and economic ties to the United States, and consumer as well as consumer. The U.S. News, Many U.S. citizens in Canada hold that citizenship, so it is important for them to realize that Canadian law does not prohibit laws from voting. The U.S. News from exercising voting rights they possess as U.S. citizens.

U.S. elections can influence the peace. Canadian put, the security of Canadian jobs, and the policies, governing, overturning the United States border trade to Arctic defence.

In Canadians, encourage your American friends and acquaintances to vote, and send them the U.S. government to the United States. The nation about how to do it. Asking an American friend whether they plan to vote may feel irony, but negligently encouragement is hardly inappropriate when decisions made in Washington presently exist. Canada and the rest of the world.

The Tragically Hip is still open for business

A decade after the band's final show, its spirit lives on in from-the-wall releases, merchandising and a musical

READ WHELTER

This May, the Tragically Hip jukebox musical #1's a God Life if Fox Dont W或者a made its world premiere at Glandown (Theatre Aquarius During Impressions, the lobby bar surveys were busy filling places with Hip branded wine and head nipples alcoholic).

Over at the merchandise table, visit copies of the band's Yet Favourite greatest hits album were available. Track is in My Music at Work, a song that makes an appearance to the musical. A decade after the callously scene: Canadian rock band played its final concert, and nearly nine years since singer-Syriate Gold Bownie died of brain cancer at 92, the music of the Tragically Hip is very much at work indeed.

On Friday, the band releases Live Day in August 2024, and a concert album that documents its favored tour. On Saturday, CRC Television replies and streams a National Celebration, the band's assistant and sonicated final show in front of a crowd of luster at the Northwest facility, set in Kingston. Millions more watched the stage at broadcast at home and public news across the country.

'Thank you,' Bownie told the audience that included then prime minister Justin Trudeau. 'He keeping me pushing, and keeping me pushing.'

The Tragically Hip brand, if not the band, pushes still. This summer saw the unveiling of Tragically Chip ice cream, a couple whistle-flowered concoction with chunks of chocolate and apples of black cherry made by Kanyatta Dunt in thicker places. But, a lot to do, the hip song of that town's name.

The musical #1's a God Life if Fox Dont W或者a moves to Kingston Grand Theatre in October, and the group has its own Tragically Hip Radio satellite and streaming channel on INNACM. It features not only the band's entire catalogue but unreleased live music from the vault.

'We're sitting on over 2,000 live shows recorded,' Hip manager Jake Gold says.

Gold is upside of June behind the shot in his downtown Toronto office, among the many things crowding his shelves — a canister of tennis balls from the French Open, a copy of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, a duked photo of blue with Trudeau from old house of Tragically Hip rolling papers for double purposes.

'We know our fans and they love this kind of stuff,' Gold says.

The papers were first rolled out when the band was still active, in 2020. The Hip later broke into the medical marijuana industry in 2021. The 2020 no longer went kings, having gotten out of the cannabis business a few years ago.

Gold first managed the Hip for 17 years until 2025, when he was hit go. He was brought back in 2020 to supervise the

band's archival releases and revenue in legacy. Tapping into his deep fashions of industry contacts, he reached out to Jeff Jones, the former chief executive officer of the Pacific's company Apple Corps who also worked with the Hip on its first two albums.

'Jeff goes me valuable advice,' Gold says. 'He told me to figure out what you've got, then you'll know what to do.'

The band's first archival release was 2021's Seshaddyha, an EP of outfades from the Road Apple New Orleans recordings sessions in 1990. The studio tracks were among 11 uncuttled reels of unmarked two-inch tapes.

'We had no idea what was there until we listened to it all,' Gold says.

Today, everything is catalogued — not just the outfades and concert recordings but one of every Hip's third and ephemera such as contracts, photos and handwritten lyrics from Bownie. It's all in the hands of

Invention, a U.S.-based archival content and IP management company whose clients also include Watafka, Rush, Petty, and and Frank Zappa.

Gold, who manages other artists including radio-rockers broken Social Scene and singer-songwriter Hannah Georgia, says working with an inactive band in general comes with unique challenges. Managing and marketing the Hip, however, is his/her end.

Like Gordon Lightfoot, the Hip is a part of Canada's cultural identity and a source of natural pride. Unlike Lightfoot, Downie died young, leading an allied measure of emotionality for the band's legacy. Now, when he sometime when it comes to how a Hip song is used, he example, in a television commercial.

'It's complicated,' says musician and radio-breaksator Take McKenzie, who has one of the lead stars in the 21st a God Life if Fox Dont W或者a musical, 'There's a responsibility, and I have to trust that the people making these decisions on God's behalf are doing it in the spirit of God.'

Patrick Bownie represents his brother and sits in on-Hip meetings.

Respectful scores of the beloved ballad about In a Groove have been used in advertising campaigns for Canadian Ten and Each of Nova Scotia. Last year, the Terry Fox Foundation commissioned a nominated record of the popular pop song George (Sir Hugh McCormick) in a band, making the Marathon of Hope's agitation.

'I think the Hip is being careful about where those songs go and how they're being used,' radio-breaksator and consid-

ant Alan Cross says. 'They're mindful of the image they want to learn.'

At the end of the day, though, it's a business. The Hip no longer team as a group; its chief source of revenue dried up after the final concert a decade ago. The free arts and archival releases (as well as the motor, musicals and frozen showers) keep the band coming.

'They want to make the revenues continue as much as they can,' Cross says. 'There are plenty of recordings available and there are plenty of fans who want to hear this stuff.'

In the process, it's business as usual for a band whose final studio album was 2021's Max Mariner Form. The Hip's long-time label is Universal Music Canada, the country's biggest. The company trusts the band as one of its managers, arts, jazz as always.

'We have a big team that sits around a boardroom table and talks about how to host 2019 the band,' says Mike Adam, president and CEO of Universal. 'And we serve the band in the same way if God was still with us and if they were actively roasting and actively recording new music.'

On Sept 20, the Tragically Hip (and Leslie from Rock Voanne and Leontine song writers Mike Keno and Paul Evans) will be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Invention used to use he wasn't the kind of music who looks back on what he has accomplished. Would he be okay with the Hip keeping the train moving under the steam of the past?

Gold believes no. 'Good would want his family to!'

Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere dies at 36

MANNAN GOODWALUM

JUN. AUGUST 22

Hayden Panettiere, a one-time child star who raised to form in the TV shows Heroes and Nashville while enduring struggles with alcohol addiction and depression, has died this one in 2024.

Pride said Panettiere was found unresponsive in an apartment in Louisville, S.C. shortly before 2-24 in Sunday. Lifesaving measures were performed but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

No cases of death has been provided. There were no signs of bad play or suspicious circumstances, police said in a statement. The location of county's location Office was performing an autopsy.

The television and film performs, who would have turned 2: on Friday, had been open about her private battles and wrote at length about them in the summer. One of the whole cases out in May. She described lifelong scars from her early fame, and acknowledged being addicted to alcohol and enduring postpartum depression after her birth at her daughter, Kaya, with Ukrainian house Waldron's families in 2024.

'It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden,' her father, May Panettiere, said in a statement. 'I am sure.'

'She was an incredible fight and a hero of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all

who know her — and to the old form who watched her once in.'

A problem for Panettiere has not responded to a medical magazine for comment from the Associated Press.

Panettiere was one of two children born to May Panettiere, a former New York hexcaptain, and Larkin Vogel, a former song opera star who had been the prime hero behind her early career before the two episodes arranged.

Panettiere began acting in commercial and soap operas, including as the ever-treadical Larkin's building on Cooling Light. In 1916 it hit the worst that the traumas her character endured, from being kidnapped to killing her mother's boyfriend, led her to an insane 'catastrophe with adoption.'

'Good-song gave me positive attention when — as an actor — I asked, get sick, screamed and cried, killed, grieved, and outloved,' she wrote. 'Is it any wonder why I've faced so many real struggles in my life? I've often wondered whether someone actually — I've brought on my traumas because I'm wond or think they're good for me.'

She had much normal memories of her role as a shockleader with supernatural powers in Hero, which propelled her to fame in 2024. The series involved around the mantra: 'Sare the cheerleader, care the world.'

'She went on to win these fans Choice Awards for that role and was nominated for a Grammy by a children's speaker world album. A hug's life. Read-along, also voic-

ing a role in the Boney animated movie.'

Panettiere later played a head-scrunch upstart opposite Dennis Brinton in Nashville, which aired on ABC for four seasons before being sounded and served on CNT. She did her own singing in the show, which scored some hits on country charts, spawned U.S. tours and earned Panettiere two supporting actors Golden Globe nominations.

Panettiere's daughter, now is began living with Knuckles full-time in Ukraine when she was 2. At the time, the actor was struggling with mental health and addiction.

'I think there's been this very common misconception that I just gave up my child,' she said in an interview with podcaster Jay Shetty in May. 'That could not be further from the truth.'

She said she was in a 'fuerrlike cycle for years of battling depression and anxiety and alcoholism and substance abuse' while 'just trying to find my way back, my way out of the darkness.'

She entered rehab in 2019, while filming Knuckles.

'I was the one who put myself in the first treatment centre. I was threatening. She said in a 2nd interview with Women's Health magazine.'

died had made the painful decision to just propoundedly with her mother, who throughout her childhood had 'defined and driven her' and watched her 'struggling. Icans grow like that of her couple.'

'She and I spent so much time together, so deeply connected to each other's lives, that we started getting on each other.' Panettiere wrote a fair memoir. 'I hated when home whispers of about ethic action during conditions, positive that they could fear her company them to me. I hated when Mom went to industry parties and got up to the motor she loved.'

On Beauty speakers Panettiere recalled how she exploded into the public eye though Heroic, including the first time she was treated by the paperant. She described her response as 'shout better.' In her memoir, she would remember unvoiced encounters with fellow celebrities — from an Oscar-winning actor-director on passing himself to her to being forced into bed with a 'famous thirtysomething British singer-songwriter.'

In her memoir, Panettiere described herself as an 'optimist to the core' who refused to be defined by tragedy.

'The thing I know from my 20 years in the public eye is this: Life is a process that evolves day by day, year by year and — like it or not — we are engaged in a cycle of events until the moment you take your last breath,' she wrote.

Robinson guessed wrong, leading a club to the ace and knowing the jack on the way back. West won with the queen and continued fourth to score a one-trick set – vice.

Trade: Source says U.S. is sticking to its offer to lower auto tariff from 25% to 15%

FROM A1

One of the three sources briefed on the discussions said it was a good sign that Canadian officials had met with him, as it could mean necessary technical steps are being taken to push a deal forward.

Mr. Lutnick, however, has a history of disparaging Canada. Earlier this year, he convinced Mr. Trump to delay the opening of the Canadian-funded Google, lower International Bridge to Detroit, in part as a deal could be worked out to protect the business of the rival Ambassador Bridge, which is owned by a Trump donor, according to media reports.

In April, he accused Canadians of unfairly milking the U.S. economy. "They suck," he told a public event in Washington.

A separate source with knowledge of the negotiations said Mr. Lutnick's voice in to reinforce the U.S.'s position, not to compromise or try to meet Canada halfway. But yet another source said Mr. Lutnick's presence could lends well for Ottawa, as it is an indication that Mr. Trump's advisers are all united on the deal.

On the key active issue, the three main sources said Monday, the U.S. is sticking to its offer to lower the tariff from 25 per cent to 15 per cent and maintain an exemption for the value of U.S. content in Canadian-made vehicles. Canada has demanded a much lower tariff and an exemption for the value of all content produced in North America.

One of the sources said there had been virtually no negotiation over the matter, pushing it close to the deadline of the talks. Another said that, given the U.S. content exemption, the offer is at least better than what any other country had received from Mr. Trump.

Two sources briefed on the talks from the U.S. perspective told The Globe that they were optimistic and believed a deal was getting closer. They were skeptical that the White House would extend negotiations past Wednesday, given that the purpose of Mr. Trump's latest tariff threats was to press Canada into a deal.

One of the sources, plus a different source, said a short extension was possible. Two other sources, briefed by the Canadian side, said earlier Monday that negotiators remain far apart. However, following the meeting with Mr. Lutnick and Mr. Greer, one source briefed on the talks said there was a 50-50 chance of a deal.

At a Monday news conference in St. John's, Mr. Carney said the federal government is ready for all outcomes Wednesday,

including if the new tariffs take effect. "I have plans for any situation," he said, describing talks with the U.S. as "very intense and delicate."

The Prime Minister, speaking at the announcement of a hydroelectric power deal between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador, joined that he would translate "matters their nose" - masters in our own home - for Mr. Trump.

In the high-stakes talks, Canada is seeking reductions in Mr. Trump's survival tariffs on autos, steel, aluminum and forestry, imposed last year under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, as well as for the President to drop his plan to impose his latest threatened crime, under Section 235 of the Sineast-Hawley Tariff Act. The latter tariffs would hammer electronic equipment, dairy and alcohol, among many

other things.

In exchange, the U.S. is demanding that Canada concede on a series of trade issues, including an end to retaliatory tariffs on

U.S. autos, having provincial leaders and their base on American alcohol and cancel their Buy Canadian procurement policies, as well as changes to how dairy licences are allocated.

Other issues factoring into the talks are Washington's demand that Ottawa complete its long-delayed purchase of F-16 fighter jets and

guant the U.S. right of first refusal over Canadian critical minerals. The Globe previously reported that forestry is a particularly serious shelving point, with Canada meeting on a reduction in Section 232 tariffs on the sector and the U.S. wanting to exclude it entirely from the deal.

Getting the promises to sign on will also be necessary to fulfill some of Mr. Trump's demands, making sectors such as Ontario's auto and British Columbia's forestry industries key to getting everyone on board.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday that his presence is ready no matter what happens Wednesday. "We need to stick together," he said during a speech at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa. "Canada, the United States and Mexico are so much stronger when we work together."

Mr. Ford spoke of attending a recent U.S. government meeting that included both Democrats and Republicans.

"People want certainty. They want stability," he said. "They're getting very impatient - not with us, I think, with the President - that they want to start moving and getting a deal together."

Auto industry in the balance as negotiators weigh tariff levels

ERIC ATKINS MARK KENDELL

As trade talks between Canada and the United States approach Wednesday's deadline, the Canadian auto industry finds itself making a grim calculation. What level of tariff can it absorb without being forced to idle more auto-plaints?

Negotiators are seeking a trade agreement in Washington before President Donald Trump imposes no pre-contractor on a wide range of Canadian goods. The Canadian side wants the U.S. to reduce tariffs imposed last year on autos, metals and lumber, while the U.S. seeks concessions on dairy, alcohol and procurement as well as an end to Canada's retaliatory tariffs on U.S. autos.

The Globe and Mail has reported that the U.S. has offered to use the tariff on Canadian cars to spur a certificate in pre-contract, with U.S. content excluded from the levy. The U.S. content of Canadian-made cars varies, but is generally about 50 per cent. Canada has countered with a demand that all North American content in cars be tariff-free.

Greg Monday, an associate professor of engineering at McMaster University and a former general manager at Toyota Canada, said 50 per cent tariffs on non-U.S. content are uncontrollable. © AETNA, 84

Inflation hits 3% in July on gasoline prices as cost of food cases

CRAIG LORD

Inflation reaccelerated in July after another volatile month for global energy prices. But economists argue the latest data were mild enough that the Bank of Canada can focus on booming trade risks rather than fears of spreading price hikes.

Statistics Canada said Monday that the annual rate of inflation rose to 5 per cent last month, up from a 8 per cent in June and a thick above economist's expectations.

Global energy volatility was primarily to blame for the increase. A causative agreement struck between the United States and American market is outlawed in July, undoing much of the recent progress in turning global oil prices.

Gas prices were up 9.7 per cent year over year in July. Mexican said, marking an acceleration from a 10.9 per cent annual hike in June.

Randall Bartlett, deputy chief economist at Bernardine, said inflation is tracking below the 5 percent mark so far in August as gas prices rose and other one-off pressures from earlier in the summer include.

But he said getting a sustained decline in global energy prices is contingent on fully removing oil flows through the Strait of Thomas, a critical shipping lane for Gulf exports.

June Tsang, a 26-year-old content creator, roots out her Toronto condo for $2,200 a month and lives with her parents. ARUN WASHINGTON/THE GLOBE AND MAIL

How young condo owners became accidental landlords

Slow housing market spurs some to rent out their homes

KELLEY ROLFE

June Tsang didn't set out to be a long-term landlord when she bought her one-bedroom condo in downtown Toronto five years ago.

She'd been planning to briefly rent out the unit, which she purchased for $6,000, until she and her partner could move in together after she graduated university. But they broke up just after the sale closed.

It didn't make financial sense to live in it alone, so Ms. Tsang, a 26-year-old content creator, changed her plans.

She decided to rent it out for the long haul and continue living with her parents, which she said she enjoys and allows her the flexibility to travel regularly.

Ms. Tsang now rents the condo out for $2,200 a month. Her monthly condo expenses are higher than the rent she's receiving - she pays an additional $500 a month out of pocket - and she's just about to renew her mortgage at a higher interest rate than the 1,000 per cent she

has been paying since she bought the condo. But Ms. Tsang is at peace with the situation. She has a good tenant, and she's making good money now. And she says she believes that in the long run, the condo market will rebound from its current sluggish state.

"I try not to look back in regret," she said. "And I feel pretty confident [the market] will overall trend up."

A segment of first-time buyers who purchased condos in the past five years have become accidental landlords. Faced with changing the circumstances - whether inability to afford what they purchased or a desire to move up the property ladder - these homeowners are assessing a difficult housing market and deciding to rent out their units rather than sell for less than what they paid.

"Their goal, when they listed, was not to become landlords. As the market shifts and changes and people don't want to take losses, they don't like where prices are at, they're like, 'let's just rent it out,'" said Tom Storey, a Toronto auditor.

Newfoundland and Labrador's energy deal with Quebec strengthens Carney's hand in trade talks

ANDREW WILLIS

OPINION

Canada became even more important to U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, when the provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador set aside years of bad bloods in an auto-a few billion's renewable power agreement.

Prime Minister Mark Carney joined Newfoundland's Tony Wakeham and Quebec's Christine Fritchett on 18. John's was turnout to unveil a reworked version of plans to develop hydro and wind power projects along the Churchill River, and new transmission lines to get that electricity to

markets in Canada and south of the border. The deal's key component is an opportunity for the two provincial utilities to dramatically boost electricity sales to U.S. utilities that are starved for supply as they try to feed power energy plans almost.

Given the animosity most Newfoundlanders hold toward the auto-agreement with Hydro-Quebec that paved the way for the Churchill falls generating returns, Mr. Carney was more than justified when he said: "This is co-operative federalism at work."

The agreement paves the way for decades of low-cost renewable power in Eastern Canada. The side benefit is also a strong card for Mr. Carney to play as negotiators try to hammer on a trade deal with their U.S. counterparts.

There is a line from a bestselling book on how to win negotiations that goes like this: "Leverage is having something the other guy wants. Or better yet, needs. Or best of all, simply can't do without." The author of The Art of the Boat is the current U.S. President Electricity from Eastern Canada's hydro plants on Western Canada's oil and gas, is something America's economy simply can't do without.

While the Prime Minister said last month he doesn't "see the value" in using energy reports as a long-acting ship-to-trade talks, Mr. Carney has also made it clear that everything will be on the table if negotiations fail and the Trump administration follows through on tariff increases on Wednesday. © WILLIS, 84

Normal health: sales of the fourth straight month in July

The Canadian Real Estate Association marked the fourth month of increased transactions after removing seasonal influences

RACHELLE YUONILAI REAL ESTATE REPORTER

Canadian home sales rose for the fourth straight month in July and property prices finished most monthly, small signs that the market may be rebounding.

There were at 2.6 per share last month, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association, reaching the fourth month of increased transactions after removing seasonal influences.

July also had the highest volume of monthly sales to far this year.

At the same time, the typical home price rose slightly month over month, instead of filling an outstanding $1.78. From a price in the first year, the total from June to July, to Sept. 2017, the last time the index rose on a monthly basis was in November, 2018, when it increased by 0.2 per cent.

Feds block board appointment to Quebec-based laser firm brought by Chinese company

JAMES L. LEE A Quebec-based laser firm that was brought by Chinese company says the federal government has been slightly reduced to 2016 as American executives onto its board over 1,000,000 in technology could be used to "benefit foreign militaries."

Co-Certify High TechInc. was acquired on 2017 by Hart's Laser Technology Group, and Co-Certify wants to appoint Xiaokai (Denver) Zang who heads that it's subsidiary, to set board.

The company says its acquisition of filed in federal Court last month that industry Minister Mishine Jill refused to approve U.S. Board Mr Zang's appointment to June, a decision (Co-Certify, Hart) and Mr Zang's lapse was "substantively unreasonable."

To say the companies had to agree to understand at the time of the acquisition deal to protect Co-Certify's technology related to the production of "specialty firms" and the marketing background checks on prospective employees.

The court applications says the undertaking was imposed owing to the allegedpoverty of an unauthorized transition of non-invoicing technology and a benefit foreign forces. Neither the companies' lawyer nor the federal government would comment on the case.

The companies and Mr Zang want the decision denying his appointment qualified, claiming attempts to appealed to a Zang and Zang "were also rejected without reasons."

The application says the undertaking acquired approval of any non-Canadians to the Board, and that Mr Zang is an experienced executive who has been a U.S. citizen since 2012, proving "ignores" concerning the U.S. law and the court's opinion.

"The individual review by the federal finance and investigation, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other U.S. government agencies," the application says.

"The undertakings of any non-Canadians to the Board, and that Mr Zang is an experienced executive who has been a U.S. citizen since 2012, proving 'ignores' concerning the U.S. law and the court's opinion.

ment agencies," the application says. "This recent, rigorous, screening by Canada's cancer society partner demonstrates the absence of any legitimate concerns about the Zang."

"There is no reasonable basis to conclude that Mr Zang's appointment would give rise to any improper transfer of executive Co-Certify technology."

Co-Certify, where Mr Zang will help it "rumain competitors" at a time when its sales are declining and it's being key employees. The application says Hart's Laser has pumped US$10 million into the firm since the 2017 deal and Mr Zang's experience and relationship with the Chinese parent company "willingly ensure that capital is applied strategically, safeguards the future of the business and high-tech Canadian jobs."

The company filed a second judicial review application late last month challenging the federal government's removal of the undertakings to another year. The company claims there is no longer a risk of the technology being transferred, and the "oversharkening majority" of its sales last year were for telecommunications and industrial news rather than defence.

It claims it only made a sale to one defence customer outside Canada in 2018, and this deal was worth less than US$10,000.

"Co-Certify technology is no longer sensitive to nature, as demonstrated by the fact that Hart's Laser has almost entirely stopped purchasing Co-Certify technology, despite coming Co-Certify," the second application says. "The company says its technology "falls well behind its global competitors" in Canada, Europe, the U.S. and China, while its research and development of both have shifted significantly slowing the undertakings."

"There is no reasonable basis to conclude that the unauthorized transfer of executive Co-Certify technology could bet-

olt foreign militaries, or that such a transfer would occur about the undertaking," the application says.

"The undertaking impedes the ability of Canadians to obtain government and support from that is not being a third-UVR for the company. The company's localities turn it impeded by the undertaking and would be facilitated by its removal," the application says.

Federal lobbyist registration records show the firm's largest former Liberal MP Paul Boudin, then a consultant with public relations firm Bill - Knowlton Strategies, in 2017 to arrange meetings "with government officials with respect to regulatory approval of company restructuring under the investment Canada Act."

U.S. government contract award records show Co-Certify had also been awarded small five-figure contracts from the Department of Defense for fibre optic production, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada says in a written statement that the federal government "welcomes foreign direct investment that benefits Canada's economy."

It says the investment Canada Act allows to reviews of "the most significant investments by non-Canadians to ensure their likely performance in the Canadian economy, and the true review of foreign investments of any size for national security concerns."

"Some information on national security reviews conducted with your system the investment Canada Act is available in the national reports," it said. "Due to the confidentiality provisions of the act, the government cannot comment on specific transactions."

The companies' lawyer, Mishine Jill claims with McCarthy (Hirsch) to Stevens, said its own medical statement that the firm would not comment on ongoing litigation.

Quebec must brace for years of belt-tightening, A-G says

STEPHANE BELLARD

Quebec will have to tighten its belt for several years to comply with provincial legislation that requires a National budget, the first state's Auditor General said on Monday.

In a new analysis, the Auditor-General, Christine Roe, presented the government's facing a multibillion-dollar deficit that will require cuts of at least $10 billion, covering more text and up to $5 billion for the year.

The projections come less than two weeks before Quebec Premier Christine Fritchett is expected to call a general election.

The numbers show that the political parties don't have "much better" for new spending promises. We, Roy said.

"It is up to the political partners' decide if they want to implement additional measures, but at that point, they must explain how they will finance them," Mr. Fritchett said. "The policies."

Ms. Roy's report is based on an analysis of the latest numbers released by the provincial Finance Department. Her office is

required to produce this report, before an election.

Quebec's National Budget Act requires the government to eliminate the deficit by 2019-20.

In its response included in the report, the provincial Finance Department is forfeited its projected deficits, saying it wanted to avoid making unnecessary costs if it could that revenues could improve, depending on the economic situation.

The department also said Quebec would actually have a budgetary surplus in 2019-20 if it didn't have to pay into a special fund established to eliminate public debt.

In his last two budgets, Finance Minister Joe Gistel said that Quebec would ask more to decide on the coming fiscal years.

Opposition parties reacted to the Auditor-General's new report with fresh criticism of the Fritchett's government's spending.

Liberal finance critic Fritchett, finance men accused her of making a sense of protection, was unconcerned despite the deficit.

"She was aware of the state of public finances," he said at a news conference.

Parti Quebecois efficiency critic, Pascal Fritsch, also accuses the Premier of corresponding.

"Christine Fritchett kept both hands in the electoral cooler as promising billions left and right, when this is the reality of Quebec's national economy," Mr. Fritsch said in a news conference.

Mr. Gistel, the Finance Minister, said the Premier had more room to spend money because Quebec's finances went in better shape than expected.

He Roy also highlighted how trade negotiations between Canada and the Child of States could have an impact on Quebec's finances.

"The Cancer government is trying to avoid new 20-year-rate tariffs that the country should maintain threatened to impose on Wednesday."

"All of this will depend on what happens this week, we're in a state of uncertainty," Mr. Roy noted.

"If the new tariffs materialize this week, such political party will have to adjust to national interests, and take the situation into account," she added.

Nestle turns to a duce for use of weight-loss drugs

RICAN NARDY HELEN, 1997-1998

Nestle felt is seeking to turn the use of GEP's weight-loss drugs into a threat that a business opportunity, using artificial intelligence and nutritional science to develop products aimed at millions of consumers taking medicines such as Overnight and Wigovy.

The rapid adoption of drugs made by Novo Nordisk and EELB by San Sueldo's in-vivo concerns that appetite-suppressing medicines could permanently reduce demand for unleashed foods, snacks and beverages.

Nestle believes the drugs are also scouring a new market for products designed to address the side effects of aging and over time.

Chad Sowerberg, of the 1st Indian's First Reader's that Nestle was using AI and other technology to analyze clinical research, identify nutrient combinations and develop products tailored to GEP's needs.

"We are well positioned with the portfolio. It's a huge opportunity for our company," he said.

Presentation materials shown to Nestle's research team, which is located with rapid weight loss, including muscle loss and the use of facial fat often referred to as "Overnight Easy," and without area-acceleration Nestle believes the products can help address them.

The GEP leader is dominated by Eli Lilly's Neuripan and Zepbound and Novo Nordisk's Wigovy and Overnight.

Around 10 million Americans are taking GEP's medicines, according to Boston Consulting Group, a report of the 2017-18 rise sharply by the end of the decade.

Nestle's response has been to develop products tailored to the needs of weight-loss drug users while setting its own market research, product development and consumer analysis.

Mr. Falter said Nestle's scientists have been studying the consequences of rapid weight loss and developing products designed to help consumers manage them. The company is using AI tools to process large volumes of clinical research and identify combinations of nutrients that may help support muscle health, hydration and nutritional intake.

Nestle has begun adding collagen protein to products under its Vital Proteins brand to address concerns around skin, hair and bad health linked to rapid weight loss.

A big part of weight loss is that people lose lean muscle mass," Mr. Falter said.

"We found a combination of two micronutrients which we industrialized that stimulate the growth of muscle tissue. On one hand you provide protein, on the other hand you stimulate the muscle tissue to grow back faster."

Mr. Falter said Nestle had also patented a new product for the proprietary ingredients designed to reduce appetite among consumers who often experience increased hunger after discontinuing GEP.

Nestle's U.S. business created Soviet laboratory Institute (Shako, marketed as containing 20 grams of protein to support muscle health during weight loss. In Asia and Australia, Nestle has introduced a large number of versions of its 1996-2017 drink called Milk FHD High Protein.

Royal ice cream makers are also wrestling with the same issues, turning to higher-protein products, smaller portions and simply regarding their use.

AI is playing a growing role throughout that process.

Nestle has developed internal systems to analyze scientific literature on the effects of weight-loss, food and water, identify emerging trends and help product development gain a database of roughly 100,000 recipes.

The company is also using Afro-market social media and identify emerging new products.

Some nutrition experts question whether specialized products offer significant advantages over conventional foods.

Nestle's research team we have to new products all the time that are more expensive than whole, fresh food that also contain the same protein and nutrients," said Amanda Arrey, associate professor in nutrition and dietetics at the University of Nottingham in central England.

Like many consumers, teen giants are sick? A loop

Across the internet, many companies, including LinkedIn and Google, are trying to get rid of male content created with generative artificial intelligence

THYAMY WU SAN FRANCISCO

The worst of artificial intelligence step has cluttered Google sources with respect for plot topped pizza. Internet listings with share recognition and face-to-face tracking the images of infancy from.

The digital energy heap has sprawled across both platforms, recognizing meaningful content and polishing the information ecosystem, as platform and video generators continue to achieve.

The classic Valley wants to take out the truth. Spooky said it removed 75 million black uploads, duplicate songs and other "spammer" tracks that year – a satellite should of its total portfolio. LinkedIn said in July that "All ship is a top priority for all of us" and developed a button for assets to report it. Researchers from YouTube's parent company, Google, described how a video service brand (success channels) was used to support all its products and services on its platform.

Across the internet, such companies are undertaking a generative music device, even without its many cases by the same ship that made by possible by their own. At basic Mobile messaging apps, consumers review sites, scholarly resources and data on issues are all overlap out or downplaying such generated by AI – many relying on the same techline, but to pull off the past.

People are tiring of AI's office on the environment and its presence on jobs and mental health. At May is just another "listening wound," said Adam Walker, a content creator and researcher studying online trends for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a global affairs think tank.

"I have been gradually gotten more and more upset about it," he said. "The climate of opinion has now recognizable shifted, so these companies are finally confronting these problems."

Generative AI can produce increasingly realistic images, audio and videos, but only some of it qualifies as ship. Such companies are largely beginning the mind of low-grade clickbait that is easy to make, spread, consume and forget – the fact fashion edging out content, the yield shine subsuming the weak.

Undisclosed, the synthetic energy online could "reveal the human creativity, correct cultural value and destabilize public discourse," European researchers wrote last year.

Ship has become so prevalent that dictionary publisher, Merriam-Webster chose it as its word of the year in 2020. Doctors, a French streaming service, said this spring that nearly half the tracks updated to its system such day were artificially generated, many of them never found by users. AI generates more than one-third of what is uploaded to Apple Music.

Adam Bessert, head of Instagram, said late last year that it would soon be more practical in the world than when that is needed. His observation came not long after Meta, Instagram's parent company, rolled out an all of video stream divided by many as a showcase for ship.

Many tech companies now trying to adapt to a given idea on the ones enabling it. In July, Meta promoted to support a European part to make AI-generated content more identifiable via data.

AI was trying and edging. That was smooth, the company also released an image generator that automatically opted on public Instagram accounts as a reference for the tool (Meta removed the feature after three days of haddock).

"All ship is a stable-edged sword in that a lot of these platforms experienced uptick in engagement as a result of it," said Paul Devlin, an expert in AI at Ohio University. "It is a good idea to use AI to create a liability because there's so much fireman and person that it's now hard for users to find the kind of quality that they're looking for."

Google, for example, has gone all in on AI, linking its Gemini model to its e-mail, maps and travel services and alerts. More than 20 per cent of the initial short video on YouTube would be new users and it generated drop, according to the experiment conducted last year by Exposing, an online video editor that is powered by AI.

One of the most popular YouTube ship channels, Xception, estimated, earned US$4.20 million annually. (It has since been suspended from a YouTube memorandum program, from the United Kingdom's data extractor, wrote in a blog post that "managing AI ship" was a top priority this year.)

Other companies are running to a grab-bag of strategies to address AI ship, including editing their own patrons to help identify it. In October, Pinterest updated its system to allow users to limit how many AI-generated posts they see. TikTok, Inc., a new trading channel for the United States that is people did up or down the amount of visible AI content. (The company also said it had automatically labelled more than three billion AI-generated videos.) TikTok removed more than 27,000 videos who have lost three months of the year to bring more.

AI was used to create nearly half the posts with more than 20 words on it. Elon Musk's social-media platform, according to Pangram, an AI detection startup. To deal with 3 tremendous amount of AI ship and reply again, the social-media platform this year banned apps that effectively encourage them to post by prompt for content, more. Nikita Kozlowski, a 2014 AI provider of previous benefits noted.

Chris Sato, CEO of Substack, wrote last month that "it's getting harder to tell what's out on the internet," and that "platforms that reward Adherens will create a race to the Internet." The newsletter platform announced its own AI ship, created for users, powered by program, which is designed to scan replies, comments and posts longer than 100 words and decide whether they were likely written by hand or with AI help.

Some newsletter writers complained that the tool mistook posts written by humans as AI generated, did not account for it's potential role in the creation process and put human pictures on adios to defend their reputations against an opaque metric.

Geely founder Li to step down as chair of flagship auto unit

SHANGHAI, CHINA

Eric Li founder of Chinese auto conglomerate Geely Holding, will step down as chair of flagship unit Geely Auto, founding the role of executive director, Ian Congbin in a major management model. He aimed at long-term success (iron planning).

He Li, who founded Geely four decades ago, will remain chair of Geely Holding Group. His departure will allow him to devote more time to other business commitments, the Hong Kong listed company said in a stock market filing.

Under the changes, which take effect on Tuesday, executive director Ian James will replace Gail Shengyun as CEO of Geely Auto, while He Gai will become vice-chair.

"The board believes that Geely extensive management experience and industry expertise will enable him to lead the Group's operations effectively and sup-

port the execution of the Group's long-term strategic objectives," Geely Auto said in the filing.

The midwife comes as Geely Holding, a major competitor to Chinese EV leader ETD and partner of Nobel City, who is a member of the 2010-2015 Global Lend Ltrs, a group of 10,000 companies in the world's largest market for the whole accelerating its overseas expansion.

Geely executives, including Mr. Li, have stressed the importance of developing management talent as the automaker adapts to a changing domestic market and expands abroad.

Mr. Auto's appreciation as chair also marks a shift away from a family-centred management model, the Gai told a news conference.

"The company will no longer depend on individual channels or authority, but instead on any situational system and a structured talent pipeline," Mr. Gai said, adding that the change would support more profession

al decision-making.

He Li said after the announcement that Geely would continue to pursue partnership rather than build new manufacturing capacity abroad.

He An said Geely Auto's long-term goal was to generate two-thirds of its sales outside China.

He recently, Geely stood a deal with Ford to build electric SUVs at the US automakers plant in Spain and jointly develop a vehicle for the European market.

Geely aims to build a major presence in Europe, targeting an road sales of 400,000 vehicles within two to three years. He Gai told reporters.

School European factories will also produce luxury models for other Geely-owned brands. Mr. An said.

Geely Auto reported on Monday a 10-year.com run as four-half revenue and a 10-year-cent increase in core profit.

The lessons learned of first said on Monday it will also prove US$6.6 billion on 10 Energy months after a US$6-billion investment from OpenAI and both Bank to expand data-centre infrastructure.

The new deal is the latest example of Nvidia financing this infrastructure built around 10 chips, a strategy that helps drive demand but has also raised questions about circular funding flows between the chipmaker and its customers.

Last week, scrutiny of such funding depends after Nvidia partnered with six major financial institutions including Bank, Rock to launch financing platforms targeting more than US$6.6-billion as chipmaker funding for AI infrastructure.

Mr. Huang said the new deal was one circular financing and that Nvidia is using "its scale and long-term visibility" to help.

"We are assuring long-lived to haphazardize for Nvidia company to OpenAI can deploy the most productive AI factories that can be upgraded repeatedly with each new generation delivering more intelligence and better economics," Mr. Huang said.

The company will be exclusive chip provider for the facility at Palo County, Ohio, which will have a total capacity of 20 msec

as eight gigawells, with the first less megamatch expended to come online in 2021. OpenAI is leaving the site for 10 years.

The financing structure is not yet defined and will include capacity, people with knowledge of the matter said. The equity may include capital capacity's potential 58 Energy (HV and SoftBank do not investment, they said.

After the total equity amount is defined, there will be a debt portion that will probably include proper finance loans and potentially public debt such as bonds, the people said, asking for uncertainty to disclose private decisions.

Land and power are increasingly becoming a handle for data centres owing to the aging and demand (US) and and growing operation to new connections from communities covered about higher electricity prices as well as potential water storage.

Nvidia said its guarantee covers a portion of the base and power payments, as well as a commitment to ensure that the results in a minimum value, rather than the full cost of the project or all of OpenAI's obligations.

OpenAI will pay the cost, but if it defaults, Nvidia will cover the gap between that guaranteed minimum value and whatever the owner can occupy by releasing or selling the site.

Nvidia said it plans to selectively hold up prime sites where its chips can receive multiple generations in the future.

"Investors are right to be worried about what seems to be a never-ending loop of AI doubt but realistically the field of players isn't all that was and there was all warppling to be a degree of clear

lar financing," said Banni Newman, head of financial analysis at AI Soft.

"The biggest test is whether those investments ultimately generate decent returns for all those lasting out cash and that's something that can only be figured out further down the line."

Mr. Huang said the site, which would be useful capacity of a 25 gigawells, could contribute 20 msec to US$6.6 billion to Nvidia's revenue. One gigawell of computing power is enough electricity to power roughly 70,000 msec to 10 homes on average.

Overall, Nvidia could make US$6.6-billion in revenue from OpenAI by 2021 by selling 10 gigawells of computing power, including an expansion of the Ohio site for 25 gigawells.

An support for the SoftBank and 58 Energy plan to build at least 10 gigawells of new power generation and invest 1.4 million in new regional grid infrastructure through a partnership with AI's 58 Energy.

The project is expected to create short 12,000 construction jobs through 2020 and about 2,000 long-term operating jobs, the ChatGPT maker said.

"The project has a low risk of construction delays owing to local opposition, the sources added, as the start has been supported, owing to the job creation and a commitment OpenAI and SoftBank commitment to fund US$6.6-billion in community projects. The project includes federal land and has the involvement of the U.S. Department of Commerce and Energy."

OPINION & ANALYSIS

The end of USMCA would have a surprisingly small impact on the Canadian economy

Trump's endless carping about not wanting to buy Canadian-made goods reveals dream of severing integrated supply chains

It's start with what everyone knows. The end of the United States Mexico-Canada Agreement, if it comes to that, would be had for the Canadian economy and under it, I know it, Ottawa know it.

As of the final 8 most is counting on us being so fearful that we'll offer up all sorts of concessions to an attempt to modify them, because without access to the U.S. government economy would nearly collapse.

But how much economic pain would Canada actually suffer if U.S. President Ronald Trump's tariff had been higher, and the USMCA disappeared?

The damage made the end it would also be far less than you might expect.

That's the conclusion of many studies and invalidating exercises done by economists over this past couple of years. Or, also the find-

ing of a study released last week by the Canadian American Business Council.

In the event of what the study calls "USMCA breakdown," it estimates that Canada's economic growth rate would be reduced by one percentage percent as yet, and the country would lose 10.2,000 jobs.

A sudden loss of 10,000 jobs would be a blow. But how serious of a labor? Are we talking flesh wound or Armageddon?

There were 25,000,000 workers in the labour force in July, according to Statistics Canada, and 25,000,000,000,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was a 5 per cent.

The disappearance of 10,000 jobs would raise long before rate to 5 per cent.

To put that in perspective, Canada's unemployment rate was at that level just four months ago. At April, it was also set of above 0.9 per cent for most of July.

Higher Canadian economic growth is obviously better than lower, and lower unemployment is better than higher. If Mr Trump were to agree to respect the USMCA, that would of course be better for Canada than him escalating his trade war.

However, Canada does not have to accept any deal, no matter how small. We don't have to agree on a partial company of free trade war of fear that, unless we cry and do, the U.S. will ditch free trade

entirely.

We don't have to agree to let the Americans prank to us in the loss. Nor do we have to agree to keep our hands down, and not punch back.

Prime Minister Mark Carney does not have to be willing to pay any price and how they would be, however the remaining stands of free trade. Nor should Canada be afraid to retaliate.

The CABE study concludes that, in the event of a breakdown of the USMCA – it results U.S. average tariffs on Canada rising from the current 6.5 per cent to 10.9 per cent, and Canadian retaliatory tariffs rising from 1.9 per cent to 5.9 per cent – Canada's economy would take a hit.

The PM has said that Canada is negotiating from a position of strength. The CABE study under lines that The end of the trade will not be the end of an Not-everly.

Mr Trump's existing tariffs have whittled away at free trade

and harmed the Canadian economy – and the U.S. economy. His proposal to pay over tariff on 1 per cent of Canada's exports to the U.S., which he has threatened to impose on Aug. 16, would add to the burden. There is nothing positive here.

It's just that the hit wouldn't be all that big.

The CABE study estimates that, even with high and long-lasting tariffs and counter-tariffs, Canada's economy would only be about 10 per cent smaller in 2023 than if the USMCA were removed and reopened, and tariffs fell to near zero.

Free trade with the U.S. has benefited Canada, but the scale of the benefit – and the size of the loss in the event of its disappearance – is limited.

The main aim of the CABE study appears to be to remind U.S. politicians that free trade with Canada makes the American economy stronger, and that its loss would make the U.S. economy – especially manufacturing – weaker.

Mr Trump's endless carping

about not wanting to buy Canadian-made cars, steel and other manufactured goods, reveals a danger that the U.S. integrated North American supply chains, and forcing Canadian industry to relocate to the U.S.

However, as the CABE study shows: "Tariffs are not the one grow the American manufacturing sector – Green the highly integrated and complementary nature of U.S. Canada made tariffs between the two countries prove highly dangerous. Even for example, tobacco and tobacco of the border increase and render North American manufacturing industries less competitive. Higher tariffs cause the U.S. manufacturer to continue to sell the U.S. trade balance to deteriorate, accomplishing the opposite of what U.S. policy makers intended."

That's why one of Canada's best allies in this fight are U.S. business, particularly in integrated and manufacturing. They understand that do-iringuating continental supply chains, supply raises costs and shrinks markets for American manufacturing.

We don't have to accept a bad deal out of fear of being even fed something worse. If Mr Trump wants to impose new tariffs, he can and he will.

If he does, we'll have to live with a bad way and thus no-hurry living in a price of paper that says we agree to it.

The Trump threat is tragic for Canada – but it can also be cathartic

DEARAR-NORTON

OPINION

Dishopshoof fellow at the Mark School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto, and at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, this is a former Canadian diplomat

Negotiations on a trade deal with the United States are intensifying, as they mean, to matter the outcome on the United States Mexico-Canada Agreement, the U.S. will continue to be Canada's largest market and leading partner.

But given the administration Canada is dealing with, this will not be the last time we try to come to terms under the threat of tariffs.

For Canada, there will be no return to the status quo – this world is being turned upside down by our neighbour to the world. What is happening is trap is and carry, but I believe it could also be cathartic.

A a conference at the Mark School of Global Affairs and Public Policy is one of the best, one of the American attendees described Canada as the most vulnerable country on the planet. One could also argue that there are many other countries in the same boat – so we need to have a money of more.

If Canada is the most vulnerable country in the world, trade is certainly top of the list of vulnerable states, and diversity of trade is the most likely to mitigating that challenge.

Others have said that, indeed, Prime Minister Mark Carney has made big show of engaging with Europe.

However, while Asia is essential to Canada's future prosperity and is the biggest focus of our

Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks during the 2024 Liberal National Convention in Montreal earlier this year. Mr Carney has said that Ottawa is ready to deepen trade talks with the United States. HANNA ANNUNCIARY ON DUTY IMAGES

trade diversification efforts, thinking about Asia is still not Canada's reflex. When we talk about like-minded countries we eventually think, at least in the first instance, as Mr Carney does, about Europe.

Canada should instead be thinking of itself as a North Pacific nation – and we should be do-linning our sovereignty in that context. Japan and South Korea are our nation's allies, but we don't appreciate them in this way, or certainly, but as much as we should. They are business partners. We these share a common sense of dependence on the United States and we are worried about U.S. commitment to its allies.

Canada's diversity is a strength. I would argue for engaging the entire Canadian diaspora, that is, all the Canadians living and working abroad.

These Canadians, speaking multiple languages and understanding international cultures, are a huge resource for the country. When we talk of diversification, we should be looking in them as our teams feel offensive line.

To reinforce this line, the country needs to expand its efforts to encourage young Canadians to study in Asia and support technology in Asia to improve knowledge of markets there.

Finally, circling back to the metaphor of the course of trade, perhaps we should add a fascualities to the world's activities. In the media, and in a cinema for that matter, we tend to focus on what are often called "Western nations."

We should first be recognizing the contributions that can be made to our concerns, security and prosperity by some of our

trade-negotiations partners in the Indo-Pacific region – from South Korea and Japan to Taiwan, Singapore, India, Australia, New Zealand, to Chile and Mexico. Not all of them are generally incorporated in the definition of "Western nations," but they are important partners just the same.

In terms of definitions, perhaps the most meaningful way to content ourselves is to control or the concept of open-knowledge societies. So we move over to the world's digital world, the mark of our innovation success will be the change of knowledge and free access to information.

The countries that share this principle are our ideal partners, and we should be handing together to bring others along. This is an initiative not defined as East or West, but rather as open or restricted.

This is a long game, and we will all have to consider whether the next U.S. presidency will invest in a more traditionalized body to the alliance structure and U.S. leadership. However we and up, I believe investments to support the knowledge societies are worthwhile.

Investments in technologies to improve lives, with applications in the global world.

Investments in technologies to enhance (interaction) to provide (for) society and private persons, and in superior broadband infrastructure.

Improved telemedicine, leading to greater knowledge and higher knowledge of the world.

A focus on innovation, with an impact investment loss, this encompasses equality and justice.

Willis: Higher power price from U.S. customers means larger profit margins

Meeting America's demand for power goes back. Ms. Pechstein, president of Quiked and Newfoundland's Mr. Wakeham the opportunity to declare a welcome this agreement, which replaces a long memorandum of understanding, or MOE, between the two provincial utilities.

The fact that previously contentious politicians in Québec and Newfoundland managed to resolve their differences, for the greater good, is a tribute to the U.S. government's influence on Quebec. Hydro chief executive Michael Saha, who is now one of the Prime Minister's key advisers in

Clerk of the Privy Council. Ms. Pechstein and provincially owned Hydro-Québec negotiated the right to should a generation capacity in Labrador to up to 10,000 megamoles, while looking in relatively low rates for domestic customers for the next to 10,000. The previous MOE set a target of 2,000 megamoles.

To put this in perspective, the new generation plants will provide a strong electricity to power off the home-to-homemal, Swine-to and Vancouver combined.

Newfoundland and Labrador's new power plants are now being used. It is not only to sell up to 100 megamoles of power to U.S. customers, through Hydro-Québec transmission

lines, at market rates in the past the provincial utility could use will power to the Americans. The utility also pay $2 billion in federal backlog for a country what farm and a transmission network in Labrador, projects that will potentially power nickel mines and other industrial sites.

By striking a deal with Newfoundland's government, Hydro-Québec CEO Claudine Bouchard said on Monday the company is taking the next step in a strategy to "consolidate its North American leadership to renewable energy."

The utility has already built transmission lines into New England and New York, regions

where the costs that come with data center construction are a loss human political issue.

Last year, Hydro-Québec tried to solve the North American customers by including a pair of domestic chains in its annual revenue.

The utility showed homeowners in Boston and New York plans to supply six times more for power than Montreal residents. Commercial clients in New England and New York have paid about five times more for electricity than major power consumers in Quebec.

The power price due to U.S. customers means larger profit margins for the two provincial utilities.

Ms. Amy, Hydro-Québec sold $1.9 billion of electricity outside the province. New England utilities bought a year more than 1,000 electricity in the first two years. New Brunswick and Ontario were the other major customers.

Last year, the Quebec utility could have sold more electricity to Americans, but spent instead to refill reservoirs. As the Churchill three people come within, for more power will be available for sale to U.S. customers.

Monday's agreement means Hydro-Québec about with Newfoundland and New York. Below, can qualify claim to be an elected actingspower and actendispensable element of the U.S. grid.

Ukraine has an arm at Russia's economy

Drones have pummified the giant depots belonging to online retailer Wildberries

The attacks began on a July week-end and have continued for a month, stretching from Moscow and St Petersburg, to others in the south, and eastward to the Gulf Mountains. The targets weren't off reference, maritime hides or even planes left by other Ukrainian strikes, but warehouses lost bring the convenience of online shopping across the breadth of Russia.

Ukraine's drones have pummified the giant depots belonging to Wildberries, which are the most common among billions of dollars worth of merchandise and bringing the war home to the broad public.

The attacks on about 20 Wildberries facilities have undefeated Kyiv's ability to order for and with inside Russia and the military challenge to President Vladimir Putin nearly 40 years into his full-sold invasion of Ukraine.

The have hadly shaken the empire built by Tatyana Krin, the country's richest foreign country in the Soviet-Levannian business estimated at 3500 a-billion.

Headends of thousands of unconcluded critics have lost their merchandise, sending shock waves across Russia's economy. Wildberries has drawn massive loans from UTA and other banks as it expanded and likely will have trouble enjoying them, putting more pressure on the financial system.

No Krin, 30, was born in Grozny, the capital of the province of Chuzhany, the state of Soviet Union, the employer and a teacher that launched Wildberries as area, from her first government to some foreign birth to her first child while working as an English teacher.

The idea was born from my own needs, and turned out to be needed by hundreds of thousands," said Ms. Krin, now a member of seven. "It's a product or service makes your own life easier, you're on the right track."

Wildberries initially sold clothing before expanding to appliances, household items, cosmetics, foods, and more. The different kinds of drinks people kept has become an undisputed leader in a community, accounting for several half of all on-line orders in Russia. Businesses big and small use it to store, ship and deliver more. Canadian across the country's 10 time zones.

Russia's Amazon, other Western brands, filed following the war in Ukraine, online retailers filled the road with merchandise from China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere.

The government acquired a bank, expanded to tourism and even considered buying an airline.

In 2024, Mr. Krin directed her husband, Vladimir Bakalchuk, triggering a flight for control of the company. Mr. Bakalchuk sought the support of Chuchan leader Ramzan Kadrzov and his feared paramedian forces but eventually lost the battle, which pushed as a shoot-out at a business center near the Koreltsi that left two poor, black and several wounded.

Canada's 10 million dollars from and Yandex Market, the company has prided itself on relying on about two dozen mammoth warehouses as the area of the vast logistical network, stockfighting the goods before shipping to about 100,000 stretched distribution points.

In Ukraine unfulfilled on a strategy of long-range downs attacks deep inside Russia, it has expanded from striking military bases, oil refineries and other infrastructure to Wildberries warehouses, which provided particularly soft targets.

Since the first attack July of in Richmond, just east of Moscow, and in the south western Tambov region, Wildberries936 was burned and after another six months from the Monday's final media.

The depots, some as high as 200,000 square metres (about 2.4 million square feet) were unprotected. It took three days

to extinguish the fire in Richmond, a key Moscow region built.

On Tuesday, Russia's art officer another staff built in Podolsk, also near the capital. Several of Wildberries' so largest logistics centers have been knocked out of operation, Ukraine's Defense Ministry said. Wildberries did not immediately respond to a request for command.

"There are no military and high value political targets, therefore they're not especially secured, they're not really built to be able to bring off those strikes," said podcaster Mark Galovits. a Russia expert who heads the Russia intelligence consultant.

The strikes have stretched from the Eastern part of Russia to Nishantsheng, over 2,000 kilometres (1,850 miles) from Ukraine's border.

There's excess public data, but some estimates indicate up to 10 per cent of the company's total warehouse space has been destroyed, with an ominous of loss of running as high as 3500-billion.

Ms. Kim said Wildberries' sites have been "reinforced and strengthened" extensively, but the attacks continued. Some warehouses suffered only minor damage, and Ukraine tried to hit them again.

Wildberries said it's rearranging supply chains to create "partner bank" for storing merchandise - a challenging process, given its depression as big depots.

On 9/8/2024, the World Bank of Wildberries 436 gear and technical components, including drones, to the military Moscow denied it, but such dual-use items as

drone components, this jackets or thermal weapons sights remain available on the platform.

Mehduda Podolsk, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said the attacks were designed to disrupt military supplies, boosts national movement and cause a domino effect in the Russia's economy by putting prices on major banks, including VTB and Sherbank, that made massive loans to Wildberries.

Wildberries' debts were estimated at the equivalent of about 5500p-billion at the end of 2024.

Russia's small and medium businesses already have been led toail by tax income and industry hurdles and, most recently, a half-criss from attacks on oil refineries.

Cholomajets, the state's biggest advisory Ltd. Consultancy, said Monday the attacks have exacerbated Russia's business crisis: comment and are an attempt by Kyiv "to undermine public confidence."

"There is a segment of the manufacturing system in Russia and elsewhere that can be easily outlining significantly from that," he said.

Wildberries had recently changed its dollar policy, exempting it from liability for stock damages by a "very mature" that would be a result.

Ms. Kim pledged to support others with discussion on average, four months of goods to other sites, discounted loans and other measures. Wildberries also issued some comprehensive that covered only a fraction of the losses.

Russia's Central Bank has asked lenders to reimburse loans to small and medium businesses that lost merchandise.

Meanwhile, many owners of Wildberries' pricing points face lost revenue, amid the changing deliveries, home owned foundations on social media about going and going.

The lost goods mean tens of thousands of small businesses each sometime in 2024, service, service, and service. The losses are phishing for government support.

Mr. Galovits said the strikes reflected Kyiv's debt to bring the war home to Russia.

"It's not just about seeing great clouds of black smoke over your cities because of the soil effects you do," said Galovits, having been a "new kind." You might be a small business whose inventory has just gone up to inside its rest of the Wildberries' warehouses. Or else you just empty might be an ordinary consumer who just suddenly saw empty going to get the goods that you plan to buy."

Autos: Combined tariff-remission system has frustrated both Detroit and Washington

But, he added, Canadian negotiators could be faced with accepting them in hopes of winning reductions beginning in 2026, when a new U.S. administration could be in power.

At these rates, the effective tariff rate would be about 7 per cent or 8 per cent, based on the value of U.S. ports in Canadian made cars. This is equal to the labour costs of including a car, but the making is customarily unfazable.

The tax began from the an unsatisfactory and unfair and eventually disrupted," he said.

Stephen Beatty, a consultant and former Toyota Canada assessors, said that the tax increase might be able to scrape by with low single-digit tariffs. But once the tariff rate gets into the high single-digit or low double-digit range, it will no longer be profitable to produce cars in Canada, and foreign headquarters companies will start reassuring their manufacturing footprint.

"By the time you're getting up to these levels, you're basically going to have a balance of margin in the vehicle," Mr. Beatty said in an interview.

He said Canada needs to be wary of uprising to a deal that

looks reasonable on the surface, but could up undercutting the long-term economies of the industry.

And then to a second risk, he added, if Ottawa locks in a specific tariff rate on sales as part of an interim deal, it will undercut by bargaining position in future bilateral discussions with Washington and Mexico City about non-contract rules in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The U.S. has already made discussions with Mexico that it wants stricter North American contract rules and a new rule that to pay rent of a car must be made of U.S. auto parts to get pre-presented tariff treatment.

The Canadian auto industry, based in Ontario, has struggled for several years amid high costs and a shift to low-cost locales in Mexico and the U.S. The tariffs imposed by Mr. Young in 2025 have hastened the decline.

Infobatic NV shifted planned over production to the U.S. from its plant in Brampton, Ont., which remains the United States-fetilants in its talks to sell the heavy, which should no easy and no easy, even when on a basis.

Central Motors Co. last year closed its takeover plant in Ingersoll, Ont., and has reduced their and production at its

Ottawa, Ont., people plant. Ford Motor Co., meanwhile, sited in Galville, Ont., where he used and is slowly tampering up production of heavy-duty perhaps after eliminating a plan to make electric cars there.

Canada's two largest camakers, Honda Motor Co. Ltd. and Toyota Motor Corp., have not made cuts to production or entitlements. Mr. that is because they do not have excess capacity in the U.S., unlike the Detroit Motor, Ford Motor and Motor in Toyota has said it will expand in Texas, and Honda is expected to consistently building a new profit American plant that also puts export will be in the U.S.

Lane Power, who represents 10,000 auto cars with weak international president of United, said the talks between the two countries must eliminate the payment tariffs if Canada's auto industry is so survive.

Ottawa should consider applying new leverage, the said, using of a widespread halt on U.S. alcohol sales and construction in U.S. made cars. Canada is an important U.S. source of oil, gas and and global interest in the which could be subject to an export tax.

"We have things that the U.S. needs," Mr. Young said in an

interview. "We have a trade deal that was designed to basically make up the US. Could the tariff-free access because we're building things together and because they have access to other things from Canada, whether that's energy or potato or a whole? Intuit of other things that their economy depends on."

Most Canadian provinces have taken U.S. alcohol off the district. And in retaliation for the U.S. auto tariffs, Canada has imposed a tariff-remission program for auto makers. The system applies to pre-vent tariffs on the two Canadians or Mexican content of imported cars unless the makers have a manufacturing footprint in Canada.

The combined tariff-remission system has frustrated both Detroit and Washington. The most parading of Mr. Young's these countries orders improving new tariffs starting on Aug. up to 10d to October, attempts to pre-vent auto production in Canada. If Canada wants to avoid the new tariffs, it may have to drop or weaken its remission system. But not a a major risk in what Mr. Young says.

"You have to take Trump an in-ward. He wants the Canadian industry to move back, stock and hand in the United States. And

the only thing we really have by way of leverage is the Canadian market in the end of the day, the U.S. only has one good export market, and it's Canada. And that's why duty remission was such a powerful tool in dealing with the Americans ... it actually works."

Jordan Systems, managing director of thought leadership at Royal Bank of Canada, said it's difficult to put an exact number on what tariffs you would allow for. "The U.S. is a major business cars profitably in Canada, as it differs from company in company. But, averaged out over a decade across the business cycle, profit margins are generally in the high single digits.

"You can imagine a really low tariff loss with the 70-cent or 70-cent Canadian dollar means we could still be competitive in a North American context," Mr. Simmons said in an interview.

A lot is at right for the Canadian economy, if the manufacturer's car's remain competitive and is slowly owned down, Mr. Simmons said.

The more enough demand, however, local demand to sustain a role and aluminum industry and a planter and a chemical industry, if you don't have the demand coming from a port

Between a couple of strong prices demands about and after reports in recent weeks, and the Aug. to deadline for new U.S. tariffs just days away, Mr. Kacez said BMO is comfortable with its call for the 2 per cent hike in the rest of anthem last month, and for the 2 per cent hike in the rest of anthem last month, up from a 5 per cent to June, American soil.

"There's a lot of push and pull on the growth side of the 2 per cent rise economy," he said. "The powerfully 20 rebound still to be tested by ongoing trade associations," Mr. Kacez said. "But the inflation side is leading to the end well-behaved despite a bit of fear in Italy."

oil price fluctuations and the tariff situation will resolve, and determine whether signs of an economic rebound will be surpassed in the months to come.

First all-women industrial real estate team sets milestone with full-service model

From supply to personnel, industrial leasing in Canada is at a crossroads

ZARITA KASSAM

Global commercial real estate firm Jones Lang LaRalle (JLL) marked a milestone this summer with the debut of an all-timede industrial brokerage team, believed to be the first of its kind in Canada.

But being the first all-women team in the space was practical rather than intentional. JLL wanted to offer several different services from one central team and move away from a "sliced, one-bodied" service model, says Kathy Kolodini, executive vice-president of JLL's industrial group.

"We're trying to offer more of a service portfolio," says Lyndhur Hoppy, senior vice-president of JLL's industrial team.

"That would include tenant and buyer representation, agency representation for property owners, design/build facilitation and strategic portfolio management."

In addition to Mr. Kolodini and Mr. Hoppy, JLL's industrial team is made up of associate vice-president Kennedy Banks and sales co-ordinator Celene Rattner. The four recently launched their first listing: A heavy-powered, vic务e-squash-loot industrial unit in Burlington, owned by Concert Properties.

When it comes to industrial leasing, offering a mix of services helps the JLL team buildually approach the market, which has since balanced out following the scarcity of industrial real estate listings during the pandemic.

In 2020, national absorption rates – the speed in which available space is related to bought over a set time – peaked at nearly all-million square feet and vacancies hovered well below the historical norm at 1.2 to 1.5 per cent, according to real estate firm Arison Young.

Now, those numbers are leveling out across the country and providing industrial tenants with greater choice, which means brokers are increasingly being called to work harder to differentiate the properties they represent.

A MARKET FINDING IN FOOTING

Warren O'Fonza, senior manager and industrial lead of market intelligence at Arison Young Canada, says the market conditions experienced during the pandemic were some of the highest conditions on record. He acknowledged those were largely driven by pre-GIVSD population growth and the increase in consumer consumption that came along with the pandemic.

"From the pandemic hit that started up a lot of e-commerce growth because inside and mortar stores were closed," says Mr. O'Fonza. "You can companies like Amazon and Walmart growing tremendously quickly."

As more conglomerates need-of-warehouse space, rental rates rose, climbing from 50-att per square foot at the beginning of 2020 to 2024 of 3.7 per square foot in 2021.

"Historically, we haven't really seen that ramp up in costs, and the costs gave the developers confidence to build," says Mr. O'Fonza. "That momentum carried on until we had an oversupply issue."

In 2021, industrial real estate completions created at around 40 million square feet, up from 1,000 million square feet in 2020. There was also a steady climb in vacancies, which peaked at 4.1 per cent in 2020 before landing at four per cent in the second quarter of this year – up from 1.2 to 1.5 per cent first years ago.

"We just a normalization. Commercial real estate, industrial real estate, is cyclical," says Mr. O'Fonza, referencing the oversupply following the tightening market. "It happened to rapidly this time that we were caught off guard."

MORE TODAY'S TENANTS ARE AFTER

cated, is not so different from the national picture: Ragwood data from Arison Young shows a similar trajectory over the past four to five years.

According to Lindsay Brand, chief investment officer at Concert Properties, the industrial market has "come back to reality," like seen that as a good thing.

"Before the pandemic, industrial was a stable, disciplined asset class," says Ms. Brand. "It's become a much more balanced market, where success comes down to the quality of the asset and the strength of the leasing strategy, not just timing."

The JLL industrial team's first listing in Burlington is a lesson in some of what today's industrial tenants are after.

For example, the location has access to a strong local labour pool and is rich with amenities. It also features upgraded LED

lighting and heavy power, giving it the electrical capacity to accommodate energy-intensive manufacturing equipment without requiring a major electrical upgrade.

"As operations become more technology-driven and energy-intensive, access to sufficient power has become a critical requirement, and it's increasingly difficult to deliver," says McRead.

"That tells us the next generation of industrial real estate will be defined not just by location but by functionality and infrastructure."

THE WOMEN SHAPING THE FUTURE

JLL's new team may not have been assembled to achieve a milestone, but it has. And it underscores a long-running lack of

discovery in the industry that's not talked about as much as market metrics and property space.

Last fall, the Commercial Real Estate Women Network released its latest benchmark study, which measures the representation of women in commercial real estate every five years. The report found 45 per cent of women in commercial real estate globally are in the industrial segment, down from 40 per cent in 2020.

In Canada, the story is similar. CROW Network CEO, Alison Redland says 47 per cent of Canadian women in commercial real estate work at the industrial class, down from 15 per cent in 2020.

"While our 2021 benchmark study data saw a decrease in the percentage of women doing business in industrial real estate, I have seen an increase in women's interest in the sector and in industrial's interest in recruiting, supporting and retaining women," says Ms. Redland.

She adds that CROW Network has partnered with industrial real estate firms and groups such as Link Logistics, LSF Industrial Trust and HHR to advance more women in the industry.

In Toronto, Ms. Hoppy of JLL says she's also seeing more young women interested in the industrial sector through CROL a networking and mentorship group she co-founded in 2020. Her hope is her team will add to the impetus.

"In 2020, it doesn't feel like [our team] should be such a novelty, but in the industrial sector, it is," she says. "I think it's a very exciting thing for women to see other tenants enter the industrial industry as a unified group."

An easy way to protect from stock market bubble

It's a tricky time to hedge against all fever, but geography can be a handy way to diversify

THE BRIEFIST INVESTMENT REPORTER

How you heard we're in a stock-market bubble? Perhaps it's even the mother of all bubbles, so the money can bubble on through. The headlines are endless. Michael Barry recently sounded the alarm. So, we know his big fear from this. But he'd be known called a top to this market 20-odd times in recent years, by a rough scout.

In 2019, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, 2033, 2034, 2035, 2036, 2037, 2038, 2039, 2040, 2041, 2042, 2043, 2044, 2045, 2046, 2047, 2048, 2049, 2050, 2051, 2052, 2053, 2054, 2055, 2056, 2057, 2058, 2059, 2060, 2061, 2062, 2063, 2064, 2065, 2066, 2067, 2068, 2069, 2070, 2071, 2072, 2073, 2074, 2075, 2076, 2077, 2078, 2079, 2080, 2081, 2082, 2083, 2084, 2085, 2086, 2087, 2088, 2089, 2090, 2091, 2092, 2093, 2094, 2095, 2096, 2097, 2098, 2099, 2100, 2101, 2102, 2103, 2104, 2105, 2106, 2107, 2108, 2109, 2110, 2111, 2112, 2113, 2114, 2115, 2116, 2117, 2118, 2119, 2120, 2121, 2122, 2123, 2124, 2125, 2126, 2127, 2128, 2129, 2130, 2131, 2132, 2133, 2134, 2135, 2136, 2137, 2138, 2139, 2140, 2141, 2142, 2143, 2144, 2145, 2146, 2147, 2148, 2149, 2150, 2151, 2152, 2153, 2154, 2155, 2156, 2157, 2158, 2159, 2160, 2161, 2162, 2163, 2164, 2165, 2166, 2167, 2168, 2169, 2170, 2171, 2172, 2173, 2174, 2175, 2176, 2177, 2178, 2179, 2180, 2181, 2182, 2183, 2184, 2185, 2186, 2187, 2188, 2189, 2190, 2191, 2192, 2193, 2194, 2195, 2196, 2197, 2198, 2199, 2200, 2201, 2202, 2203, 2204, 2205, 2206, 2207, 2208, 2209, 2210, 2211, 2212, 2213, 2214, 2215, 2216, 2217, 2218, 2219, 2220, 2221, 2222, 2223, 2224, 2225, 2226, 2227, 2228, 2229, 2230, 2231, 2232, 2233, 2234, 2235, 2236, 2237, 2238, 2239, 2240, 2241, 2242, 2243, 2244, 2245, 2246, 2247, 2248, 2249, 2250, 2251, 2252, 2253, 2254, 2255, 2256, 2257, 2258, 2259, 2260, 2261, 2262, 2263, 2264, 2265, 2266, 2267, 2268, 2269, 2270, 2271, 2272, 2273, 2274, 2275, 2276, 2277, 2278, 2279, 2280, 2281, 2282, 2283, 2284, 2285, 2286, 2287, 2288, 2289, 2290, 2291, 2292, 2293, 2294, 2295, 2296, 2297, 2298, 2299, 2300

But, it's a tricky time to hedge against artificial intelligence from floods, especially longer-duration Treasuries, get thumped into sunsets as global yields spiked. Cash goes easy to nothing. Gold can't find a football after having a summer stay, had the law and about crypto, the better.

Thinkfully, geography has emerged as a handy diversifier. It wasn't always so. The zoom, for example, belonged to the U.S., while the rest of the world traded in pretty close proximity to each other. And then the half market that emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic was a symbol, global phenomenon. The correlation of the TSE to the rest of the world in those years hovered around 45 per cent - near looking, according to a new report from Purpura Investments.

We're now voting much more dispersion across different markets. The two year average correlation of the TSE to international markets has dropped to less than 90 per cent for the first time since 2018, the report said. Plus, the lead-relevant keeps scrambling. In 2024, U.S. stocks carried the day, fuel year, it was Europe. And so far this year, Asian stocks have taken the lead. Geographic diversification is working again.

In 2020, the valuation gap against the U.S. has narrowed, it is still compelling, especially for Asian equities.

Now U.S. markets offer a natural hedge against it. By Purpura's calculations, nearly half of the U.S. stock market's value is pegged to 44 companies in the rest of the world. It's about 95.95 per cent. But you've got to be cheesy. South Korean and Taiwanese stocks, for example, are heavily exposed to all through their large manufacturing

How would Canada change if we granted voting rights to children?

MIKE MOFFATT

OPINION

Founding director of the Missing Middle relations and co-lead of the Missing Middle podcast

It's might sound far-fetched, but if let's imagine for a moment, it's that Canada granted voting rights to the roughly seven million children to the country. How would that change our politics, our household finances and our economy?

Imagine that Canada might look like if the federal government took the Charter right that "every place of Canada has the right to vote" literally, and it's tended voting rights to everyone under it.

Of course, the concept of children voting system by taken too literally. A Canada that allowed these year-olds to directly cast a ballot might have candidates promising to require these vote. Any television station and unlimited iPad time.

Instead, the primary caregiver of any child under the age of 16 would cast a ballot on their behalf. The intention would be for them to set upon the best amounts of the child, or caregivers do when they register for the Canada Child Benefit to decide to open a registered education savings plan in the child's name.

The idea of proxy voting on behalf of children extends back to at least the share, and economists and political scientists have researched the potential implications of such a system.

If Canada were to extend the vote to children, the pool of potential voters would immediately increase by 30 per cent, diluting the power given to existing voters.

Governments would need to figure out which parent gets to exercise the proxy on behalf of the child, but fortunately, governments have already solved this problem for programs such as the Canada Child Benefit (CDE), there are rules in place that define a parent as the primary care-

grout," covering scenarios from couples to dental (candy) arrangements.

Other than for same-sex couples, the government per-comes that present is the mother, because of historical social norms where women disproportionately handled the example of children. These rules can be posted over to voting, however, as with the CDE, parents would have added their switch that holds the primary caregiver designation.

While the primary caregiver of these children would therefore receive additional votes, it's an oversimplification to engage in the voting process to designate social increase by a proportional amount.

The idea of proxy voting on behalf of children extends back to at least the child, and economists and political scientists have researched the potential implications of such a system.

Survey research from Japan's Kochi University in 2019 found that many parents of underage children would cast ballots to advance their child's interests, rather than their own, so children into 9 would receive representation.

Parties would immediately respond to the subsequent shift in political gravity. The number of new potential voters under the age of 16 would almost include the 7.7 million Canadians who collect Old Age Security (OAS).

Dollars for social programs are scant, but under this kind of system, incentives to increase supports for children would be strengthened, while political support for OAS increases would weaken, since seniors would make up a smaller proportion of voters.

Research from New Zealand and Japan finds that birth rates are likely to increase in response to proxy voting, not because families will have more children to get more votes, but instead

because child benefit programs would be made more generous, it still remembers circle is created where politicians would lower the cost of having children, causing more children to be born, and increasing their relative voting strength even further.

As increase in both the number of children and their voting power goes government, additional motivation to invest in education, from primary to post-secondary. Initials use low and investments in higher education were high when baby boomers first entered their college years. 2019 research from Italy found that proxies would not have a return of each political prowess.

Unlike other voters, many of today's children will live long enough to experience a crisis from the age of 16. In 2019, the data show that child's interests would consider slow-moving longer-term issues, from climate change, to the one of government defer and debate, to government investments in excess and technology. The data show that the data show that the latest efforts of proxy planning will offer the rest of an aim plan.

It is tempting to think that because almost all these children will one day reach voting again their needs, it is tempting to add476, no three, so they can just wait for the vote. However, a young Canadian who receives a poor-quality education, confers a childhood of poverty without adequate social supports or is satisfied with un811, 812, 813, 814, 815, 816, 817, 818, 819, 820, 821, 822, 823, 824, 825, 826, 827, 828, 829, 830, 831, 832, 833, 834, 835, 836, 837, 838, 839, 840, 841, 842, 843, 844, 845, 846, 847, 848, 849, 850, 851, 852, 853, 854, 855, 856, 857, 858, 859, 860, 861, 862, 863, 864, 865, 866, 867, 868, 869, 870, 871, 872, 873, 874, 875, 876, 877, 878, 879, 880, 881, 882, 883, 884, 885, 886, 887, 888, 889, 890, 891, 892, 893, 894, 895, 896, 897, 898, 899, 900, 901, 902, 903, 904, 905, 906, 907, 908, 909, 910, 911, 912, 913, 914, 915, 916, 917, 918, 919, 920, 921, 922, 923, 924, 925, 926, 927, 928, 929, 930, 931, 932, 933, 934, 935, 936, 937, 938, 939, 940, 941, 942, 943, 944, 945, 946, 947, 948, 949, 950, 951, 952, 953, 954, 955, 956, 957, 958, 959, 960, 961, 962, 963, 964, 965, 966, 967, 968, 969, 970, 971, 972, 973, 974, 975, 976, 977, 978, 979, 980, 981, 982, 983, 984, 985, 986, 987, 988, 989, 990, 991, 992, 993, 994, 995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000

The country would become a very different place of every Canadian truly did have voting rights. It is, however, unlikely to happen any time soon. No country has ever adopted this kind of system, despite a century of governments, from France in the 1920s to present-day Germany, created a long life.

Change is always difficult - doubly so when it diminishes the power of these couples of leading the change, and increases the power of the powerless. But it is a Canada worth imagining.

Landlords: Mortgage broker says many first-time buyers don't fully anticipate costs

property taxes. This whole issue is just getting worse! So these young condos owners.

"Instead of a successful investment or a step into the property ladder, this thing has turned into financial destruction by young people," Mr. Rader said.

When Francesco Fani and her partner bought these condos, about an hour outside of Toronto in February, 2024, he has been a good deal with the company's business. But, Fani, a correctional officer, said she fell into the trap of competing benefit to other people her own age who were nothing down and buying homes.

Really hot once they moved in. The comments into Toronto for work was "killing us," she said. There were also sorts the couple didn't anticipate, including condos. So that now she has a month when they bought to about 3000 today. She said buying the condos in the event financial mistake she has made.

The couple opted to rent their place out and put them in the room for rent from her parents while they said for the market to return. The first time they had a month, and Mr. Fani comments she and her partner put an additional income a year to cover their mortgage and other home ownership expenses. They also put her parents $2,000 a month to rent.

Jason Heath, a certified financial planner and managing director of Objective Financial Partners in Markham, Ont., said he has had problems to recite years by the "extremely biased" financial advice that many young first-time buyers receive from people who already own homes about the importance of getting into the housing market.

"I felt had for young homeowners. They won almost loiced into getting everything they had into buying whatever they could afford and taking on a big, a mortgage as possible," he said.

Mr. Heath continued, "the first-time buyers who rent out

their homes too soon after purchasing them can affect their qualifications for government incentives for first-time buyers - including the use of the federal Home Buyers' Plan through their registered retirement savings plans. No sales tax rebate on new hotels and land transfer tax rebates.

He said that people deciding to rent their homes out while waiting for the market to rebound should consider how long they can reasonably afford to do that.

"It may not be as soon as some people think," he said. "Sometimes selling may be an easier way to recover your money by reallocating a sometimes life, rather than owning a rental property, even if a good investment and being a landlord you never wanted to be in the first place."

Mr. Fani said being a landlord has largely gone smoothly so far. She and her partner have a great impact - which she said was a result of the time she put in up front to check references and set prospective entries - but have had some challenges. Both the other people are not able to see a chance in the next hours. Mr. Fani had to make replacements, or range the deliveries and make sure they were installed.

That's why the first time of being a landlord's where something breaks, it's your responsibility to deal with it promptly," she said.

Mr. Tsang said she's mindful of the continuing discourse - she is arousing the challenge to the pending on renters to manage their financial issues. Now that she is one, she said she isn't bothered by escaping sure that record fully cover her condos costs.

"I'm affected by the landlord discourse on [making] money off somebody living at your place," she said.

"If that's the 'bear' I could do, it's getting the money out. Or like I'm already still profiting off it in some ways, even if it looks like I'm cash flow negative."

Rate hikes may be blunt, but they're all the Fed has

To cost inflation, March's options are limited and problematic

JAMES MCGEEVE ISLANDS, JULY

EXHIBIT

Federal Reserve than Kevin March has indicated them are a few routes for retaining inflation to target. Unfortunately, the one that has by far the best chance of succeeding is the least palatable, raising interest rates.

Thinking across liquidity from the financial system by shrinking the Fed's balance sheet, or sinking on an 40-mile per share, is the boost to cost price pressures, and the other alternatives are to be made has enabled to find if the goal is to invest the price in debt by half of the Fed's mandate and to send a sign of market and the public that shining inflation is the priority. They are now substitutes for old-fashioned rate hikes.

Pulling the interest-rate boost isn't a quick fit. Monetary policy is not with a lag, which for the sake was thought to be between 1 and 24 months. It's impossible to say for sure how long the lag is, and no two economic cycles are possible.

But thanks to clearer communication from policy makers—yes, forward guidance—improved forward technological advances in a high-speed data-driven economy and digitized financial markets, the lag time is shortening, fed Governor Christopher Miller has estimated it to be the share to need to 10 months.

Whatever the number is, the transmission effects of balance sheet changes and productivity gain take over longer. That's if they exist at all.

To be sure, recent economic

indicators have given the Fed some unexpected breathing room. But if inflation remains elevated and sufficiently above a par cost to render the control back-up of virtually meaningless, the March will be under even heavier pressure in an balance sheet, and productivity won't cut it.

It's worth recalling the Fed has substantially reduced its balance sheet from the peak since the pandemic, yet inflation has still been above target for more than 30 years. The Fed should do better than the three from that year, and its 1/15th is still in the end of the year, from earnings before it. April, 2022, is a share of GDP, a 30-pound cut to of per cent from the peak of over 40 per cent in 2022.

For further quantitative tightening could reduce bank reserves and liquidity in the system to over-yingly low levels, risking a dangerous spike in money market rates. Indeed, the Fed is gradually expanding its balance sheet again by buying 3 billion pounds in a grand against the scenario and to ensure there's sufficient liquidity for growing interest rates.

Mr. March probably has back-up results in strong federal Open

Market Committee to reduce the balance sheet as a way to shrink the Fed's footprint in financial markets, but not as the primary tool to tackle inflation. And if the Fed is simultaneously buying 10 billion pounds, it is possible to do better than the public and markets are based with a reverse "Operation Twist."

Treasury Secretary Scott Benson also wants a smaller互联网 chain for the one-tune lower long-term. Treasury public something that would be complicated by the Fed putting more bonds into the market, either via lower misrepresents or outright sales.

The seat for an AI productivity boom is been an meaningful impact on inflation may be equally long, Economist's agree on AI's demilitarinary potential as work-on-increase output and business-related labour costs. However, the revolutionary technology's initial impact on prices is more likely to be upward.

U.S. stocks edge further from their record after oil prices rise

U.S. stocks edged further from their record heights on Monday after rising oil prices reached up the pressure on inflation and financial markets.

The S&P 500 fell to your cent but remains near in all-time high set Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 270 points, or 14 per cent, and the Nasdaq compounded slipped 6.2 per cent.

Wall Street's Jones solidified in the afternoon when oil prices accelerated upward. The price for a barrel of Brent made, the international standard, rose 5.7 per cent to $26.80.

It's been careening back and forth because of uncertainty about what the war with Iran will do to the global flow of trade. Last month alone, Brent zigzagged between $19 and $20 in the 9-year year and S&P that the United States and Iran could reach a deal that would allow oil tankers to break out the Persian Gulf again.

Monday's rally for oil prices sent Treasury public to the bond market higher, which in turn raised the pressure on the economy and prices for all kinds of investments.

In Toronto, the country's main stock index finished in negative testbed, as gains from higher automobile prices were 1.6 per cent, while Jones, while 1.6 in the 9-year average, the S&P/TSX Composite Index was down to 35 points at 30.000 p.p.

The Canadian dollar traded for 7x 24 US cents compared with 5x 07 US cents on Friday.

The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury climbed to 4.75 per cent from a 40 per cent late Friday. It has shot up from just 5.87 per cent before the war with Iran. Supply because higher oil prices are worsening inflation and upping the probability that the Federal Reserve will have to hike interest rates.

Better rates could keep a fall on inflation, but they do so with investments slowing the economy. The average long-term U.S. mortgage rate has already jumped near its highest level for a year because of the rise in the 10-year Treasury yield, though reports last week said that inflation in July was not as bad as earlier in the summer.

The 10-year U.S. 10-year rate dropped high inflation in large part because profits are booming for U.S. companies.

Those in the S&P 500 index are on track to deliver growth of roughly 10 per cent for earnings per share in the spring from a year earlier, according to further. That's much better than analysts expected and would be the best since five years ago when the economy was erupting out of the shares created by the COVID pandemic.

All told, the S&P 500 fell 40.7% points to 7.7 per cent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2.0% to 15.4% in the 9-year year. The Nasdaq compounded slipped 6.2% to 26.4% in the 9-year year.

Anthropic IPO hinges on 2028 revenue projections, sources say

ECHO MANE

As Anthropic prepares for what could be one of the biggest IPOs are record. Wall Street is looking further into the future than it commonly does to put a price on the AI company, valuing it based on how much revenue it could generate two years from now.

Anthropic is projecting 2028 revenue of roughly 350 top-billions to 350 pre-billions, according to two people familiar with the company's financials, a figure that has not previously been reported. The projections dwarfs the 350 pre-billion revenue "can only influence the future" on over pace of business, that the company published as records as May, and shows the scale of growth investing are being asked to underwrite.

Bankers and investors are unimpeachable, leading to revenue multiples based on forecasts, four sources said.

Using revenue multiples is common for high growth software companies that have yet to establish a market profit profile.

But looking two years ahead is less typical, reflecting the speed at which Anthropic's business is

expanding and the challenges of setting investments for a company still spending heavily to build up its AI infrastructure, the profile said.

The pace of spending on AI investments has been responsible for pathways in many of the most popular tech stocks in recent months, including some of the firms viewed as comparable to Anthropic.

There have been procedures among some of the fastest-growing companies that hit the market recently.

Nielsen of Cochrane Investors, and 2028 revenue expectations in the money to the firm's IPO this year, and SpaceX Corp projections extended as far as may before the company went public at a record valuation at least, the people said.

The approach reflects the difficulty of valuing an AI company whose margins are still being presented by enormous spending on competing power, modal training and hiring, investors are looking that as Anthropic gives, revenue will rise faster than the 2028 required by support that growth, allowing margins to expand.

Anthropic did not immediately

be respond to a request for comment.

Cloud and原材料 company Cloudflare Inc., enterprise software company Palante Technologies and Ekm Mark's SpaceX are among the public companies being considered as reference points for Anthropic's valuation ahead of the company's analyst day, the people said.

Public market comparables are a crucial part of the IPO valuation process, giving investors a benchmark for how companies turn as having similar growth profiles and business models. The peer group can also help determine which revenue or earnings multiples should be applied to a company's financial forecast.

Palante is valued at 85 times this year's expected revenue, making it one of Wall Street's private stocks. SpaceX and Cloudflare both share 2.4x 5 times expected 2028 revenue, USD data show.

Each of the companies offers a different base on Anthropic's Palante has become a reference point for investors valuing the power with rapid growth and response to AI. Cloudflare provides a comparison with a high-growth

software and infrastructure company, while SpaceX offers an example of a company valued in part on expectations for its first year scale rather than its current financial profile.

Established companies are typically valued most heavily on earnings or EBITDA, which gives investors a sense of the economics of the business.

For Anthropic, however, current EBITDA does not fully capture the economics of revenue or, yet the company to achieve a scale. Anthropic is spending enormous amounts on 2028, and often competing capacity should be training, reference and hiring. Those expenses are increased, support in rapid expansion for small business a smaller percentage of revenue as the business grows.

The company's financial to-puture should shows how quickly that companies consider the Anthropic's revenue run rate was about 350 pre-billions at the end of 2018, according to the company before rising to more than 350 pre-billions by May. Anthropic has projected revenues of at least 350 pre-billions, while the 2028 is the quarter of 2028, more than about the previous quarter, on both

for its first quarterly operating profit of 350 pre-billions.

The company has said its revenue run rate grew more than one-fold annually in 2028 of the three years through early 2028.

That growth is a key reason investors are willing to look as far ahead as 2028 when applying a revenue multiple.

The valuation therefore rests on the expectation that Anthropic's current spending is funding a business that will eventually generate much higher revenue and margins. Training and inference could become more efficient as technology improves, while personnel and other operating costs could become a smaller share of revenue as the company scales.

Could [Anthropic] get a [USD] to follow valuation, such they could and if just wonder if it would only show over time? said David Murawa, a principal in investment firm Aleph Investments.

Does [AI] really produce so much additional productivity. These are just questions that we have to call it we were thinking of pricing that, buying this!

Jays alumni turn to podcast space, giving insight on present-day team

GREGORY STRONG TORONTO

The postseason hangover lasted a lot longer than Toronto Blue Jays fans expected this year.

A slow start coupled with mad-season struggles nearly derailed the scot campaign for Canada's lone big-league team. However, a strong run of form after the recent trade deadline has lifted Toronto back into the playoff race. With interest ramping up for the ongoing American League champions, the timing couldn't be better for several former Blue Jays who moved into the baseball podcast space this year.

One such offering is the Co. & Dene League podcast featuring former sluggers Josh Donaldson and Russell Martin, with broadcaster Annik Madsen. The title serves as a nod to a memorable Donaldson quote from the 2013 season.

"You know what you're going to get from him, it's just honesty at all times," Martin said of his former teammate in a recent video interview. "He doesn't care if he suffers any feathers."

The term "the beauty of having sporadic ex-players on the microphone."

When in uniform, players are usually guarded and careful to avoid generating bulletin board material for the opposing team.

Once they playing Jays end, they can often be a revolution. While the filter can sometimes be thicker on radio or television,

the podcast medium can allow for deeper dives and extended storytelling as former players provide valued insight into the reality of the professional game.

Former Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar and pitcher Ricky Romero also tag into that behind this curtain knowledge on the Blue Bird Territory podcast with writer Mitch Rannon of The Athletic.

"Any time you can get former players to speak on the current state of either the team or the game, you're allowing people an inside view of what's going on behind the scenes," said Pillar, who also co-hosts the To The Majors baseball podcast.

"Not just what goes on behind the scenes but internally what goes on the emotions and the feelings that players have."

A good example of that intuitiveness came when the Blue Jays acquired starting pitcher José Soriano at the recent trade deadline.

Pillar and Soriano were teammates in 2014 with the Los Angeles Angels.

"The second that trade happens, Kevin knows exactly what the Blue Jays are getting," Rannon said. "And we hop on an episode at the deadline and he's able to give insight into who they get is as a person, who he is as a pitcher. Ricky watches a bit of him and can analyze him as a pitcher."

Tempo hope Brittney Sykes's return can end 10-game slide

DOUG FEINBERG NEW YORK

The expansion Toronto Tempus are struggling for wins in their first season, but he'll be able to on the way along with the return of Brittney Sykes.

The Tempo guard has been out for two months with a left-plantar fascia injury she suffered in a June in game against the Indiana Fever. Without her the team has struggled, dropping to straight games. Toronto was in the mix for a playoff spot before the mid that has left the Tempo at 10-23 for the

season, the third-worst record in the league.

Sykes said at practice Monday that she just needed to get cleared by the doctor to be able to play. "It's been a testing eight weeks, but you know, it taught me a lot about myself. I got to show up for my teammates and the org in a different way," Sykes said. "I'm just grateful that I got that time. I got a lot of therapy sessions in. I got to find out a lot about myself. In this point in my career, I've been here before, but it seems like this injury was way harder to deal with."

Even when she wasn't able to play, Sykes was a veteran prowess on the team, trying to keep her teammates' heads up during the skid.

She could make her return against Caitlin Clark and the 82-90 on Tuesday. The Tempo have a busy week ahead, with back-to-back games against Indiana at home and then against Washington on the road. Then Toronto will trek across Canada to Vancouver to face Portland on Friday and Las Vegas on Sunday. It will be the second straight season that the WNBA will play

games in Vancouver. Atlanta faced Seattle last season there in front of a wild-out crowd.

The timing is tough because the Tempo just came back from a five-game road trip that saw them conscious the U.S. with games on the West Coast, Atlanta and Dallas before returning home.

After the two games in Vancouver, the team finishes off in pro-World Cup schedule with three more road games in Seattle, Las Vegas and Phoenix.

The Tempo also played a pair of games in Montreal in July,

splitting with Dallas and New York.

FORBES FULL RANKINGS

Minnesota held onto the top spot in the power poll again this week as the unanimous choice. Golden State was moved and the Aces were third Indiana, Washington and New York were next. Atlanta was seventh, with Dallas, Portland and Chicago following the Dream. Phoenix, Los Angeles, Connecticut, Seattle/Toronto couldn't out the poll.

Goldeneyes players running summer hockey camps

Vancouver pros happy to serve as real models to the next generation of female players

JOHN A. MATTENS-SMITH

VANCOUVER

A short full lesson what it means to young girls to get a chance to play hockey with female professional players.

It's the reason the Vancouver Goldeneyes captain has dedicated a large chunk of her off-season to running camp for kids.

"I didn't have really many fun promotions like these, where you have pro athletes the one out here on the ice with you," she said Monday at the Goldeneyes youth summer camp in Surrey, B.C.

Now female coaches as well being out on the ice with you, coaching you, and being surrounded by girls... It's just and to see where women's hockey has gone and how it's grown so hard.

We'll a part of the growth not only in Vancouver, but in rural Mammals where she's from.

Last week, the Goldeneyes do trouble hold a camp near her with friends at Edleman, following its girls together for summer or everything from sharing and skills to team-building and mental performance.

She's returned to Vancouver on Sunday night and the next morning she was once again on the ice, working with kids.

"I think it's super important for us to get out here and to instruct with them on a personal basis and to think it can get us into our way to see what they can agree to be one day," Bell said.

This week's Goldeneyes camp

is something of a full style new most for Vancouver forward faster than who gave up in nearby Richmond, B.C.

"It's always really special to be able to do these camps and share with these kids that play an exam that I rather played on or played against," she said. "It's really easy to see the hockey community come together."

A lot has changed as women's hockey since many of the Goldeneyes players were the age of the kids they're now coaching.

The sport is more accessible than ever, and forward into the dinner.

"It's just so special to know that there girls who are six, seven, eight years old starting hockey they only have a world with women's hockey in it," said Car-

dleys. "We get to be the people they look up in."

It'll be awhile yet before body or fans can see PWDI, games on TV again.

The league hasn't released its schedule for the year or season, but play won't matter until the BHF women's world championships in Denmark wrig on the ice.

That will mean the Goldeneyes will go about six months without playing a game after the strong their inaugural campaign ends in the PWHI, and outside of the played race.

Niming postseason play is a feeling that will feel the group's the coming season, Gardner said.

"It was really tough in May to be sitting at home, knowing that

it's growth, won't be beginning," she said. "So I think that's a feeling that we don't want to happen again. I think that's a feeling that we're going to do anything to avoid."

"And we know how hard it's going to be the season, especially with four new teams coming into play. It makes the play-off race that much harder."

Las Vegas, San Jose, Detroit and Hamilton have all getting teams most season, growing the league from six teams in area or to a six just two years.

Expensive recent many of the eight clubs that played last season will not dramatic eventually to their first season.

Health Turned captain Hilary Knight will not go for Detroit and Hamilton naithed forward

finance forever, an original piece of the Miners Charge.

Vancouver's receipt largely unscathed, keeping the vast majority of its big names, including forward funds future and public literature. Whistlerers!

"I think that, especially because we have a roster that's similar to Your, I, we all know what we want through last year, what we need to improve on, and what to look forward to," Chan said.

When big changes for the Goldeneyes will come behind the bench.

The team parted ways with local youth from kicking at the end of the year. The women's then announced last month that Jose Gardner Henry would take over the role, having her position as the club's general manager.

She stepped away from coaching, after coaching in play years in Princeton, so I think she definitely missed being out on the ice," Bell said. "Her position is coaching, and that's where she's been just like the big manager. So we're definitely excited as he has to step into that role."

Refuse making the switch, Gardner Henry added to Vancouver's roster, selecting American defender, and other USA Hlavers. "I'm just going to work with each year in I have a PWMI, dusk."

Knowing when going to be on the team when training camp finally begins has everyone eagerly asked getting the season's start, Bell said.

"I think we learned a lot from last season, and we really liked where we ended off as a group. And we get lucky enough that we have a lot of the same girls returning and coming back," she said.

The American League wild-card race looks like a mess. It could be lots of fun

It's possible that a sub-SOC team gets to the postseason

DAVID BRANDT

The middle of the American League standings has tared into a roadmore mess. It might make for a fascinating playoff race.

There are seven teams fighting for the final AL wild-card spot and all of them have a record below 200. The Baltimore Orioles would make the playoffs if the season ended Sunday, sporting a 60-65 record.

Right behind them, going into Monday's games: The Texas Rangers (69-64), Toronto Blue Jays (63-62), Detroit Tigers (60-62), Minnesota Twins (56-56), Cleveland Guardians (55-50), and Seattle Mariners (59-48). The Houston Astros could be in the mix as well with a 69-65 record that gives them a narrow advantage to the AL West.

Most of those teams were either or but have deadline this month. The Blue Jays traded outridden Duabos Gunkes to the 10-10-10s, the Orioles traded former No. 1 pick Adley Batschemer to the Red Sox and the Tigers draft ace York Skobal to the Dodgers and right-handed Casey Mac, the Padres.

Now at least one of those teams might find itself playing backoff in October anyway.

Only three teams in MLB history have made the playoffs with a young record and all of them happened during seasons when the schedule was much shorter than normal.

The only Kansas City Royals (29-29) qualified for the postseason thanks to a split-season format caused by a players' strike during the middle of the summer.

At 2:00, the Houston Astros and Milwaukee Brewers both squeezed into the playoff bracket with a 29-29 record during the pandemic-shortened season that had an expanded playoff field of

40 teams.

TRIVIA GUESTION

Joshua Bates became the first player to hit three home runs in the big league alleles, leading the Cardinals to an 8-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.

Only seven players have hit even two innings in their first regular-season game in the 10-10-10s since 1990. Who are they?

THE WOMENOBER RETURNS

Mason Marlow are Sandy Alcantara has had a great 30-30-30-back season with a 13-7 record and a 42.5-24-26 after struggling last year following Tommy John surgery that caused him to miss the 2014

season.

He's also doing what he does best - pitch days into games.

The 2010 National League 2 Young winner has already thrown over innings this year, which leads the big leagues. If he continues at this pace, he'll throw roughly 200 innings in 2010.

Throwing more than 200 innings has become increasingly rare over the past few decades as teams hate more on their ball pens. Only three pitchers reached the mark last season - Logan Webb, Garry's Crochet and Christopher Sanchez.

Just 20 years ago in seven there were 42 pitchers who hit 200 innings.

If Alcantara manages to make

it in 200 this season, that will be most in the big leagues since Sandy Alcantara. His three 2010 innings during 2010, when he won the Cy Young.

BODGERS IN THE TOWN

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the two-time defending World Series, chasing and one of the favourites to win the title again this season. They sure aren't playing like it these days.

Los Angeles is 9-10-10 in part of games, having been swept by the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs and losing series to the Arizona (Hammelback) and Milwaukee Brewers in that span. Nate Joly's, the Dodgers are 18-21.

The Dodgers have a chance to gain some momentum this week with three games against the Colorado Rockies and three more against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Rockies are in late place in the 3/2, West while the Pirates sit at 60-65.

LIV Golf to end season early, cancelling Michigan team event

DOUG FERGUSON

LIV Golf is ending its season one week earlier than planned, announcing Monday it will not hold the team championship in Michigan next week and instead crown the team champion this week in Indiana.

The 12 events this year - New Orleans was previously postponed - is the smallest schedule for 10 when it was launched with massive Saudi Arabia funding in 2010 and featured eight teams in 2010.

I've Ralem already has climbed the individual season title for the third straight year LIV Golf Indianapolis, which after Thursday at The Club at Chatham Hills, will determine who finishes second and third among the players, and the top team.

The Fifth, investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, the financial results of the real league from the start, decided in March this would be the final year of funding. LIV Golf announced earlier this month it has an agreement with a narrow level that would contain a new version of the league for 2017.

"By concluding the season now, you can put one full-resource behind the full-time next 2-0 maintain the operational figure this meantime demands," LIV CEO Scott O'Neil said in a statement.

"We are reimagining LIV Golf as a fundamentally new league owned by the players and we chored in a sustainable business model, with an evolved fan experience built for the markets where this game is growing forever across the globe and the support of world-class partners."

The cancellation of LIV Golf Michigan was not surprising. There have been reports in recent weeks the tournament had not even started preparing with grandfires and the 2010 assembly. LIV Golf said ticket holders would get without.

In another cost-cutting move

LIV attributed to "unavoidable changes in the entertainment program," the league informed Thomas Mott and Bruce Lissie their five performances would not take place at LIV Golf Indianapolis.

The final event with a 1/18-20 million purse that pays 1/24-1/30 a billion to the winner could be the last big payoff for LIV and its 20 players. LIV did not identify the bad amount or how much of a cash infusion was involved, as any whether it was an investment or a loan.

O'Neil has said the LIV 2-0 return for over and instead would have making players equity owners. He informed so it as a "second line at the apple" being equity instead of cash.

But this likely is the end of 1/18-20 million purses for individual outcomes, and those already have been cathodic. Ralem started 1/18-20 million for winning the points title, down from 1/4-10 million the previous two years.

"As we concentrate on finishing the season strong and building the next chapter of LIV Golf, we'll carry the energy and enthusiasm out fans have shown us to be what comes next," O'Neil said. "The format for the next season is the 10-10-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2-0-10s, the 2

As for the final event, Joaquin Siamann, Lucas Herbert and Tyrrell Harlan are in the mix for third place, which pays a 1/18-million return. DeChambra is a contender in second, which pays 1/18-million.

Dustin Johnson's 2-0-10 team has a narrow lead-over Australia-based Rigger, with Rabe's Leapin XIII and Byron DeChambra's Crudder team all in the mix for the team title.

VINGEGAARD WILL NOT RACE AGAIN THIS SEASON AS HE RECOVERS FROM BROKEN COLLAROONE

Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard will not race again this season as he recovers from a fractured soft-farbone, ruling him out of next month's UCI world road championship, the Duke's Vimna-Lasse a Bike team said on Monday.

The 29-year-old coached during the 10th stage of last month's Tour, requiring surgery. The UCI championship ace in Montreal from Sept. 20-22. The one-day Tour of Lombards in October might have been another target.

After a long and intense racing period, a recovery period was planned after the Tour de

France anyway. Vingegaard, this year's Giro d'Italia winner as well as the Paris Blue and Volta a Catalunya in March, said in a team statement.

This to the collarbone injury, the start of my training has been delayed and it is not possible for me to get back to my level in the coming period. The focus is on preparing, optimally for the goals of the 2007 season.

The team's head of racing Marc Reel said it was best for the other to focus on next season. "Together with Jonas, we will look at the right training build-up and goals for the new year over the coming weeks." 81071/85

Blue Jays: Long list of podcasts that feature current and former Toronto stars

IF FROM $12

"And we just bring a lot of diverse opinions pretty quickly because these guys just have innate knowledge."

Wild Merrifield is another former Blue Jay who scored behind the microphone in retirement, looking like the losing movie with sports reporter Lindsey Nunn.

There's also a long list of podcasts in Toronto and around the continent that feature occasional guest appearances by current and former Blue Jays.

Expectations were high for the team this season after it came a whiskier away from winning its first World Series since 1992. Ian Fall. The Los Angeles Dodgers needed extra innings to complete a Game 7.comoback win.

Less than a month ago, the Blue Jays were 60 games out of a wild-card spot and closer to the

league basement than the postseason outline.

Toronto (10-10) has picked up things of late, winning 12 of 16 to 18 just one game behind the Baltimore Orioles for the final AL wild-card spot entering Monday's action.

For a team that did plenty of selling at the deadline, Toronto has emerged as a legitimate playoff legend in a league that's remarkably near this season.

The Blue Jays will kick off a three-game series against the AL leading Tampa Bay Race on Tuesday, with a three-game set against the second-place New York Yankees to follow later in the week.

If Toronto can hang in there during the road for the schedule opens up to the final month of this season. All remaining series will be against teams that currently have only 200 records.

Premier League is back, with uncertainty a big theme at start of most-Guardiola era

Less superstar players, more depth and still a ton of money being spent in the EPL

STEVE DOUGLAS

The post-hip Guardiola era is getting under way in English soccer amid uncertainty and upheaval on center at Manchester City but across the whole of the Premier League.

Get this. Reading into the new top-flight season beginning Friday, more didn't have some permanent managers—an unprecedented number at the start of an English top-flight campaign. At the Fabian Hustack is the fifth long set winning coach in the Premier League—and he has been at Brighton for just two years.

The biggest success resulting in he filled is at City, following the departure of Guardiola after a second-breaking years in charge. Good luck following that, Enos Manessis—especially after the team's lamentable performance in the Community Shield loss of Arsenal on Sunday. Among the other top-flight with new coaches are: Liverpool (Andrew Hustk), Chelsea (John Alvance) and Newcastle (Matthew Hutt). All of which competed in the Champions League last season.

Heck, it makes Roberts De Zerbe, appointed by Tottenham on March 9 to escape relegation, and Michael Carroll—notafed as interim manager at Manchester United for the second half of last season before impressing and getting the permanent job—seem like veritable veterans.

It also makes Arsenal, the reigning champion, appear a season of stability in West Africa goes into his seventh full season at the holes as by far the league's longest-serving manager.

Ten sheets a long-panroom mark hanging on the debtors, too. Will there be a hangover after winning the league for the first time in 2 years?

We're about to find out, though Arsenal's display in the Community Shield provided staff encouragement for in-laws.

The non-stop roller coaster that is the Premier League begins in current Friday night when Arsenal hosts presented Coventry, which was competing in the 2nd round of 45 over after being out-of-the-big there for 45 years.

Here are some other storylines providing a backdrop to the new season.

15. PREMIER LEAGUE (AS KING SUPERSTARKS)

The Cristiano Ronaldo circuit fell down in 2020. Barry Kane moved away in 2023. Kevin DeBresque departed in 2026. Mohamed Salah quit for Turkey (the off-season draft) is leaving these sheets for Barcelona, too.

It begs the question: Is the biggest league in the world lacking the biggest players in the world?

City still has prolific striker Erling Haddad, whose brand has never been higher after winning American fans during the World Cup. But soccer superstars Bill Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dromelle, Vinicius James, Lamine Tachida and even Engleach were two new players in Kane and hale Roldan, the first of the 2018 season. All-time greats of this century—think Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zalane—never played in England, either.

The big blockbuster deal of the off-season could have been VanCox joining Arsenal, but he chose to stay at Real Madrid.

The Premier League has recently posted itself in having the world's top coaches, yet Guardiola and Dugon Allings are no longer around.

The competition might have to settle, then, for having the great-

est strength in depth, with the middle level clubs having arguably never been better owing to the league's huge broadcasters' death.

GENERAL STARTS AS STILL PARTNERS

Amid so much turbulence among its rivals, Arsenal has a great opportunity to retain the title and a the favourite with British side smokers.

Small multivider Bruno Gunnivers has joined from Newcastle to bolster an already-strong midfield, left winger Clanton. Undragged from Club Pange to re-place the departed Leandro Tovani, and then to strength in depth in every position.

Counting against Arsenal, however, is an injury to defensive manager William Saliba that will rule out the France centre back for the first few months.

Also, there's an intangible: Will there be a drop-off in intensity or motivation after finally winning the league?

Atteta is determined that won't be the case.

NEW FACES - AND SOME OLD PIETS - ARE BACK

Welcome back, Marcus Rudiford.

The England tringer has rejoined Manchester United after a loan end at Barcelona. Whether he wants to be at Old Trafford to make to be seen.

Halle, again, is Frank Lampard, a Premier League great for Chelsea who is now manager of Coventry.

Coventry, a founding member of the Premier League, was obligated in 2020 and plunged into each financial share that the club lost its home and went on to drop into the fourth tier.

The Sky Racer has to one of the glide soccer's forlured stories and they can build an out-of-flight-promoted teams, along with Ipswich and Hull.

54-BILLION AND CLUSTING ENGLAND STILL THE BIG SPENTERS

England is in a league of 10,000 wickets system to operating power and Premier League didn't outlay on new players in this transfer window to approaching Ulli's billion already.

The biggest signing to far out of those midfielites Morgan Rogers to Chelsea for Ulli's million. Elliot Anderson to Man City for Ulli's 6 million, Sandra Tonah to Tottenham for Ulli's 3 million, and Guim-

ram to Arsenal for Ulli's 6 million.

Chelsea's net spend is almost £10,000 million on Alvance as shapers the squad Tottenham has spent around £10,000 million on new players alone in a reversal in policy, following, leading-back city-place finishes.

The window is open for two more weeks, as transfer activity curalls up after the World Cup.

WILL PREMISE LEAGUE STILL BY 107 FOOT SURVEY

A significant change in English soccer last season was convenient to all-school teams such as long throw (nine-th) area, circling on the side, and being disarmed by goalkeepers, in a perceived smile to the Guardiola influenced style of play where possession of the ball was long.

With Guardiola now out of the picture, will this trend increase further: Marco Rose at Bournemouth, Pierre Suga at Crystal Palace, Alvaro Arboles at Follham and Alonso at Chelsea are all coaching in the Premier League for the first time. Will this score of new managers establish another different approach?

Watch this season.

FIFA fires senior executive Kevin Lamour after Infantino criticism

FIFA confirmed on Monday that chief operating officer Kevin La-sense has left the governing body, works after he pitfalls criticised president Gianni Infantino's plan to sell a stake in its tournament for clubs, including the World Cup.

“FIFA can confirm that the working relationship between FIFA and Kevin Lamour as FIFA's chief operating officer has ended

on Aug. 27, 2018,” a FIFA spokeswoman said.

“FIFA thanks Kevin for his two years of service and within them the best of luck for the future. No further comment of this made on the matter,” the spokeswoman added.

FIFA secretary-general Nathan Gaidstone informed staff and Council members of Lamour's departure in a letter on Monday,

saying the two sides had 'agreed to part ways,' following recent discussions. He News reported.

Lamour had publicly criticised the proposal last month, saying FIFA staff had been 'discussed over the plan and describing it as 'the project of one person.'

“Not missing . . . is to serve football. Not to serve the personal interests of a person who, unfortunately, believes his ambushes F-

FA when he is supposed to be at its service,” Lamour said in a statement at the time.

Lamour's comment came heart after Carlos Costillon, a senior adviser to Infantino, assigned to person at the proposal, calling 'a 'bad deal for football.'

Lamour joined FIFA in November, 2014, having previously been part of Infantino's inner circle that campaigned for his election

as president in 2016.

The internal dissent came as FIFA faced widespread opposition to its plan to create a 10-day-billion subsidiary to run its tournaments, including the World Cup, and sell up to a 20-percent stake to external investors. FIFA subsequently abandoned the proposal following the backlash.

Rodri says it's 'a dream to play for Barcelona' as he arrives to seal transfer

SALES REZONE SPAIN

Spain's World Cup-winning captain Rodri arrived in Barcelona on Monday to seal his transfer from Manchester City, saying it's a dream to play for the Catalan club. Rodri was expected to undergo a medical on Tuesday as Barcelona and City exchanged documentation tolnation the agreement.

Barcelona agreed to a deal worth €95.6 million (£14.6 million), a person with knowledge of the transaction confirmed to the Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke on conditions of the deal, and the result of the transfer have not been made public.

They happy to arrive. There have been some very intense days, but I'm happy that everything has been resolved. Rodri had a person friendly. You see it's a dream to play for Barcelona. I'm excited about being with my teammates, many of them I already know. Now it's time to get to work and give my best!

The 30-year-old Rodri helped Spain secure its second World Cup title last summer, and the second World Cup last season. Lamine Tamal, Dani Olmo, Pau Cubana, Caro and Podri at Barcelona.

Rodri won the Golden Ball as the

World Cup short player. He had one year left on his contract at City. His deal with Barcelona reportedly will go until 2020.

Real Madrid was also reportedly interested in signing Rodri, and he had finally praised the Barcelona rival in the past.

Hansi Fick's Barcelona, chasing a three-year in La Liga, has already boosted its squad with England forward Anthony Colman, who will help to make up for the departure of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Perera, who scored the winning goal in extra time in the World Cup final against Argentina.

The club is also set to add defender John Cancio in the next few days.

Rodri joined City from Atletico Madrid in 2020. He scored the winning goal in the Champions League final victory over Inter Milan in 2023, and won the Ballon d'Or as the world's best player. The following was after being part of Spain's European Championship winning team.

His departure further weakens City's midfield, with Fernando Meco, having left for Real Madrid. He off season. Rodri did not play on Sunday in City's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield. He is recovering from minor back surgery he underwent after the World Cup.

NBA disputes ESPN story on Clippers investigation

The NBA is disputing claims made in an ESPN article about the league's investigation of Los Angeles Clippers' women since mid-1980.

ESPN published a story Monday morning citing three sources that said the NBA found no evidence showing that Kullmer fun-

selled money through team sponsors to pay Kombu Leonard in order to circumvent the salary cap.

The article alleged that the NBA is instead focused on if the team's introduction of Leonard to team sponsors constitutes a violation of the league's rules pro-

hibiting salary cap circumvention.

NBA spokesman Mike Bass issued a statement Monday afternoon that said the ESPN article "contains numerous and significant inaccuracies."

Bass's statement said that the results of the NBA's investigation

will be made clear once it's completed.

A trade between the Clippers and the Toronto Express sending Leonard has been put on hold found on what punishments, if any, the league doles out.

WNBA SAYS FANS ARE FREE TO WEAR SHIRTS WITH MESSAGING ABOUT TRANSGEINDER ISSUE

At least three fans were asked by WNBA security personnel to cover shirts that had message about transgender women participating in women's sports activities. The became a Atlanta between the Dream and the Indiana Error.

The league said in a statement Monday that the fans should have been free to wear the shirts.

The WNBA is aware of interactions at [Danday] night's game in Atlanta as which fans were asked by league security to cover their shirts. The statement said: "This should not have happened."

Two people were shirts with a message that women's and girls' sports should be restricted to those assigned female at birth, while one person was wearing a shirt to support of transgender people.

The WNBA has been the subject of recent debates on

whether transgender women's people assigned male at birth. Also transitions to align with their gender identity - should be allowed to participate in the league. There has never been such a player in the WNBA.

Although the league's collective agreement says the WNBA is restricted to women, it contains no more specific language about gender identity or sex assigned at birth.

There have been players in the league who were assigned female at birth and later came out as transgender or nonbinary. Sophia Cunningham of the Fever said in an ESPN profile published last month that she was opposed to transgender girls and women competing in girls' and women's sports. Her stance led to small stakes and present include Fever games at Seattle and Portland, and there minority owner Colene Kuzma was given a five-game ban for con-

fronting two fans who had signs supporting Cunningham.

The Fever are on the road on Tuesday facing the Toronto Stamps at Sunnibank Arena with a near-country crowd expected at the home of the NBA's Teaser in Express.

The league has informed the security workers from the Atlanta game that they were wrong to ask that the messages be covered up.

The Dream said the team was not involved in the security personnel's actions.

"The Atlanta Dream believes in creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Unfortunately, at last night's game, WNBA security took actions that left short of that standard," the Dream said in a statement "As we point was, Dream personnel involved in the decisions made by WNBA security."

OBITUARIES

MARK RYDELL

FILMMAKER, 97

ACTOR'S WHISPERER DREW ACCALHED PERFORMANCES OUT OF HIS FILMS' STARS

From Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond, to Bette Muller in The Rose and For the Boys, the actors be directed frequently earned Academy Award nominations for their roles in his movies

ANITA CATES

Mark Rydell, the film director, behind Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda's Oscar-winning performances on On Golden Pond, who also acquired gripping work from actors to other acclaimed movies of the same time, and two, died Thursday in Los Angeles, He was 97.

His death, at a nursing facility, was confirmed by his daughter, Jane Rydell.

After starting his career as an actor and proving to directing for television, Mr. Rydell seemed to come largely out of nowhere in lead a string of high-profile films, beginning with The Fox in 1958 and going over The Revere (1975), Underhill Liberty (1977) and The Rose (1979) before On Golden Pond, released in 1981.

"He was the actor's whispers," Bette Muller, who earned Oscar nominations for The Rose and another Rydell film, For the Boys (1981), said on Instagram after his death. "Just a few words was all it took to understand what was needed."

Mr. Hepburn and Mr. Fonda, both in their two of the films, were lead-acting Oscars for On Golden Pond, Ernest Thompson's adaptive two-film play about a camouflage, the second's supportive wish, his estranged daughter and intimations of mortality at a summer setting.

"If ever there was a situation where life fed the air, that was it," Mr. Rydell said, referring to the notoriously distant relationship between Henry Fonda and Jane Fonda, his daughter, who also received an Oscar nomination for acting in the film and had an appeal for rights to adopt the play specifically so that her father could play the starkly Norman Thayer.

"Every day she touched out to him," Mr. Rydell added. "Every day he beyond her."

Mr. Rydell, who had teamed at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater and the Science Studio in New York, was often referred to as an "actor's director" who facilitated performances rather than imposing a grand-in-one. Unlike his contemporaries Robert Scholes, Martin Schenck and Stanley Kubrick, he was certainly no actor - and the film this chose to do were vastly different in theme and tone.

The Fox was an intense romantic drama based on a 1981 Lawrence novella. It starred Ken Paltz's, Sandy Protein and June Heywood as members of a romantic triangle in most Canada. In India an bedroom scenes were shocking at the time. Underhill Liberty, about 2 million (James Caan) and a proofread (Marsha Mason, who earned an Oscar nomination for her performance), was also considered raged for its moment, if lost in a very different setting.

But two of Mr. Rydell's better-known films were some whaloverdy and funny. The Revere, an offbeat New McQueen comic drama, was based on a William Radbiter novel and set to turn off the country Mississippi Harry and Walter Co. in New York (1975) was a period back from comedy with Mr. Caan and Elliott Gould. It was a two-africa disappointment, but Mr. Rydell considered it out of his favourite.

The Cowhee (1975) was, of all things, a John Wayne Western, with a pilot involving young boys' homing a cattle drive. The Rose (1979) Mr. Muller, in her screen debut, as a Jane Rydell, the rock star recklessly hurting toward her own destruction in For the Boys, she played a CSO performer opposite Mr. Caan.

"The common thread in my work," Mr. Rydell tried The Boston Globe in 1981, "is a reverence for people."

Though he received an Oscar nomination for directing On Golden Pond, more often than not the actors seemed to get much of the credit for the success of his film. Critic Vincent Canby, reviewing Underhill Liberty for The New York Times in 1979, judged it an "aggressively false and sentimental comedy," has deemed it "much acted." Mr. Canby worshipped Mr. Fonda in On Golden Pond, saying his was "film acting of the highest order," but ridiculed the direction.

"One more drop of dire," Mr. Canby wrote, "and this movie would have devoted."

In all eight actors directed by Mr. Rydell were honoured with Oscar nominations, including Mr. Muller's door-to-door, Frederic Forrest, Navy Spanish (The Boys), and Rupert Crouse (The Revere).

He had little explanation for how he showed such a emotional charged performances. "I don't know how to recieved a membership in sensitive and compassionate and understanding of another human being," Mr. Rydell said in a 1979 video interview for the Directors Gadd of America. "You are

they have that - you're inclined to that - so you're not."

Nortimer H. Rydell was born on March 26, 1926, in New York City and grew up in the Brown, the city of Valley Rydell, a middle-kay, and Evelyn Rydell.

Young Mortimer was, by his own account, a notorious tenant. His father was determined that he attended the prestigious Brown High School of Science and reportedly pulled a league to get him in. Mortimer repaid him by sneaking out of school regularly and taking the upkeep to good times to attend live performances.

He also liked sneaking away from home (a first-floor apartment on the Eastland town) and might to go to music clubs to see his Revere, among them Art Tatum, Floyd Gillespie and Charlie Parker. Having learned to play the piano as a young boy, he began getting jobs as a jazz pianist in his early teens.

Early in his professional career, Mortimer changed his name to Mark. He attended a few schools, including New York University. The University of Chicago and Hall kind before studying acting in the Neighborhood Playhouse with Sanford Meisner. She renowned pedagogue who celebrated a fresh, supportive acting style.

A member of the Actors Studio, he befriended another member, James Dean, and the two appeared together in 1980, before in the flower, a television play by William Inge broadcast on the cultural program Omnibus. (In 2001, Mr. Rydell directed) - and said himself as the gold movie studio meant Bob L. Warner in the TV Guide series. He was which introduced many viewers to the very young James Franco.)

In 1981, Mr. Rydell was cast on the soap opera, in the World Twins as Jeff Bates, who was home young. I was entered at Pennsylvania (the former) from TV Guide referred to by Henry and Jeff as "copy's first expression." After six years of steady psychosis, Mr. Rydell felt secure enough to take a role and to play with a family, so Jeff was killed off in a stormy night car accident. Mr. Rydell then moved behind the camera.

He later said that if he seemed to be a good one, very the effect he directed (The Fox), it was because he had learned what not to do while directing TV, including episodes of the medical drama, Ben Casey and Gammelle, the Western.

Over the years, he took occasional acting jobs. He was a sadistic gangster in Mr. Altman's The Long Goodbye (1975), with a memorable scene in which he viciously smashes an empty Coca-Cola bottle across his minister face to prove to director Philip Huckson, how tough he is. He was meddeter Meyer Lansky in Sydney Pollard's Haircase (1981) and Woody Allen's loyal showbiz agent in Mr. Allen's Hicksword Fading (2001).

The last film he directed was Even Morey, first released in 2001, an ensemble cast about drama about gambling addiction.

Mr. Rydell was married and divorced twice. In addition to his daughter, an actor, his future interests, Christopher, also an actor, including in his father's films, and Alexander, an editor and filmmaker; three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a sonar, Judy Wagner.

Asked during the Directors Gadd interview if he had advice for young directors, he suggested that they learn about acting.

"Learn how difficult it is to stand in front of a camera and to live a lot in public animals," Mr. Rydell said. "Learn how to do that and respect it."

The Khmer Rouge group that

Bou Meng, along with two other survivors, after Tanechokh and meddana Chom Mey, testified in 1976 at the trial of Kaing Gunk Eze, also known as Duah, who had been the 5-10 cotransplant.

In 2001, Bou Meng testified that painting larger than the images of Pol Pot and portraits of other communist icons helped save his life.

It took three months to complete his first national revolt. Duah then ordered him to make these more Pol Pot paintings and portraits of other communist leaders.

3. 历史思想资源的平等对话（Theoretical Resonance）

康德在《永久和平论》中提出“普遍交往权”的理念，认为自由贸易是实现永久和平的重要手段 [康德，1795]。然而，加美贸易战的现实却暴露了康德理想的虚假性：在霸权秩序下，自由贸易并非平等交往的普遍权利，而是霸权国家维护其经济利益的工具。施米特在《政治的概念》中提出“主权即决定例外状态”的理论 [施米特，1922]，可以用来解释霸权国家如何通过“国家安全”话语例外自由贸易原则。此外，葛兰西的“文化霸权”理论也可用于分析霸权国家如何通过话语策略（如时间压力与危机叙事）将其利益包装为普遍价值 [葛兰西，1929-1935]。

4. 当代现实对理论的反向质询与新洞见（Contemporary Synthesis）

当下的全球化框架已演变为“霸权全球化”，其核心特征是霸权国家通过技术治理（如算法贸易监管）和制度设计（如WTO例外条款）维护其经济利益 [哈特与奈格里，2000]。加美贸易战凸显了霸权全球化的制度性危机：霸权国家通过“主权例外”话语，将自由贸易神话转化为权力工具，进一步加剧了全球治理的碎片化与不平等。这一现实挑战了康德的普遍主义理想，同时也拓展了施米特“主权例外”理论的内涵：霸权国家不仅通过军事或政治手段例外法律，更通过经济手段（如关税战）例外自由贸易原则。因此，我们需要重新思考全球治理的制度设计，以应对霸权全球化的制度性危机。

德勒兹与加塔利在《千高原》中提出“机器”概念，认为权力并非集中于某个中心，而是通过机器的组装与调试运作 [德勒兹与加塔利，1980]。艾伯塔省脱离公投的选举机器正是这一理论的现实例证：选举不仅是民主程序，更是权力机器的组装与调试。此外，安德森在《想象的共同体》中提出“民族-国家”是一种想象的共同体 [安德森，1983]，而艾伯塔省的脱离诉求挑战了这一想象的共同体的边界。同时，魁北克模式（如魁北克独立运动）与艾伯塔模式的对照，凸显了加拿大联邦制在面对地区主义诉求时的制度性困境。

4. 当代现实对理论的反向质询与新洞见（Contemporary Synthesis）

当下的全球治理面临“多元主权”话语的挑战，地区主义诉求（如苏格兰独立、加泰罗尼亚独立、艾伯塔脱离）与霸权秩序形成张力 [泰勒，1994]。艾伯塔省脱离公投凸显了加拿大联邦制在面对地区主义诉求时的制度性危机：霸权秩序通过联邦制维护其统治，但地区主义诉求通过公投等民主程序挑战霸权秩序的合法性。这一现实挑战了安德森的“想象的共同体”理论，同时也拓展了德勒兹与加塔利“机器”概念的内涵：权力机器不仅通过技术治理运作，更通过民主程序（如公投）与话语策略（如“补充专业资源”）运作。因此，我们需要重新思考联邦制的制度设计，以应对多元主权话语的挑战。

▌ 本日全报生活世界痛感与情感政治深思雷达 (Lifeworld & Affective Significance Radar)

在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有报道后，以下 2 个具体事件在生活世界痛感、情感政治动员与制度理性冲突层面最值得学者进一步深思：

1. 【加拿大-美国贸易战边缘化的主权痛感】 [F1_1 🔍]-[F1_7 🔍]

   • 事件简述：加拿大总理卡尼威胁对100亿加元商品征收50%关税，贸易谈判在特朗普关税截止期限前陷入僵局。美方在汽车关税问题上立场强硬，加拿大谈判代表与美国商务部长会面未达成协议。[F1_5 🔍]显示卡尼已制定应对计划，并将在关税生效前直接与特朗普通话。
   • 情感政治与伦理深思切入点：这一事件触动了加拿大民众对主权独立与经济自主的深层焦虑，特别是在面对霸权国家强压时的屈辱感与愤怒。制度理性（贸易谈判、关税政策）与生活世界痛感（民族尊严、经济安全）的撕裂，凸显了全球化背景下小国生存的脆弱性。

2. 【艾伯塔省脱离加拿大公投的制度崩溃焦虑】 [F2_8 🔍]-[F2_17 🔍]

   • 事件简述：艾伯塔选举局为10月19日脱离加拿大公投寻求其他省份协助，计划招募60,000名选举工作人员，但仅收到20,000份申请。[F2_11 🔍]称这是“加拿大有史以来规模最大的信息招聘行动之一”。[F2_16 🔍]显示该省政府在日程中又增加了9月14日卡尔加里选区补选。
   • 情感政治与伦理深思切入点：这一事件暴露了加拿大联邦制的制度疲劳与民众对中央政府的信任危机。公投背后隐含的是对联邦资源分配不公、西部边缘化的愤懑，以及对民族分裂的恐惧。制度理性（选举程序、联邦协调）与情感动员（分离主义情绪、地方自治诉求）的张力，揭示了加拿大政治生态的深刻裂痕。

▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)

专题一： 《主权的寒意：贸易战边缘化中的加拿大民族情感与制度理性的撕裂》

1. 制度理性架构解构（Deconstruction of Institutional Logos）

加拿大与美国的贸易谈判，是一场典型的技术官僚理性博弈。美方以关税作为谈判筹码，要求加拿大在汽车关税问题上让步，而加拿大则试图通过直接与特朗普通话来绕过官僚程序，寻求政治层面的突破。[F1_4 🔍]显示总理将直接与总统通话，[F1_6 🔍]提及美方可能提供短暂延期。这一过程体现了制度理性的两个核心特征：一是量化指标驱动（如关税金额、贸易额），二是等级化权力结构（如特朗普的直接干预权力）。制度理性在这里表现为一种冷酷的算计逻辑，将加拿大的主权与尊严简化为谈判筹码。

2. 生活世界真实痛感深描（Living Lifeworld Pathos）

在加拿大民众的生活世界中，贸易战的威胁不仅是经济数据的波动，更是对民族尊严与生存安全的切身感受。[F1_5 🔍]中卡尼的威胁背后，隐含的是加拿大人对“二等国家”境遇的愤懑。这种痛感在媒体报道中被符号化为“主权受侵犯”“民族屈辱”等集体情绪，通过社交媒体、街头抗议等方式被动员起来。更深层次的痛感来自于对经济依附的恐惧——加拿大长期依赖美国市场，在全球化背景下，这种依附关系被制度理性合法化为“互惠互利”，但生活世界中的普通民众却感受到的是被剥夺感与无力感。

3. Logos 与 Pathos 的内在辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction）

制度理性与生活世界痛感的冲突，在贸易谈判中表现为权力的单向压制与情感的集体反弹。美方的关税威胁是一种赤裸裸的权力展示，而加拿大的回应（如卡尼的直接通话）则试图通过政治层面的情感动员来对冲制度理性的冷漠。[F1_7 🔍]中勒布朗的“继续努力”表明官僚程序的无奈延续。然而，这种动员往往是短暂的，因为制度理性的运作逻辑（如关税、贸易协定）最终仍将主导结果。这种辩证摩擦揭示了全球化背景下，小国在制度理性与民族情感之间的困境。

4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Discourse Temperature & Prognosis）

在报道中，制度端的语言是冷色调的技术术语（如“关税”“贸易额”“谈判代表”），而生活端的语言则是热色调的情感表达（如“主权受侵犯”“民族屈辱”）。[F1_1 🔍]-[F1_7 🔍]的头版报道中，美方的强硬立场与加拿大的无奈回应形成鲜明对比，这种话语温度差凸显了制度理性与民众情感的脱节。从社会心理韧性来看，加拿大社会在面对外部压力时，虽然能够通过民族情感的动员短暂凝聚共识，但缺乏有效的制度渠道来转化这种情感为政策成果。这种脱节可能进一步加剧民众对制度的不信任。

专题二： 《选票与分裂：艾伯塔省公投的制度崩溃与地方自治的情感诉求》

1. 制度理性架构解构（Deconstruction of Institutional Logos）

艾伯塔省的脱离公投，是加拿大联邦制下的一次制度实验。艾伯塔选举局寻求其他省份协助，计划招募60,000名选举工作人员，但仅收到20,000份申请。[F2_12 🔍]显示其仅收到20,000份有意应聘选举工作人员的申请。制度理性在这里表现为一种僵化的程序正义，无法回应地方的真实需求。[F2_14 🔍]提及需要来自其他省份的经验丰富工作人员“补充专业资源”，表明联邦协调机制的脆弱性。

2. 生活世界真实痛感深描（Living Lifeworld Pathos）

在艾伯塔民众的生活世界中，公投不仅是一场政治程序，更是对联邦资源分配不公的集体抗议。[F2_15 🔍]-[F2_16 🔍]中提到的“密集选举活动”与“补选日期”，凸显了艾伯塔省在联邦政治中的边缘化境遇。这种痛感在地方媒体与社区组织中被符号化为“西部被遗忘”“联邦忽视”等集体情绪。更深层次的痛感来自于对经济自主的渴望——艾伯塔省作为加拿大的能源重镇，却长期面临联邦政府的环保政策与税收政策的双重压力。

3. Logos 与 Pathos 的内在辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction）

制度理性与地方情感的冲突，在艾伯塔公投中表现为联邦统一与地方自治的张力。艾伯塔选举局试图通过技术官僚程序（如招聘选举工作人员、协调其他省份协助）来维护公投的合法性，但这种程序正义无法掩盖地方对联邦政策的不满。[F2_11 🔍]显示这一招聘行动规模空前，却面临严重人手不足，凸显制度设计与执行能力的脱节。另一方面，地方的分离主义情绪（如“脱离加拿大”）虽然在情感上具有强大的动员力，但缺乏制度层面的可行性。这种辩证摩擦揭示了加拿大联邦制的深层困境。

4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Discourse Temperature & Prognosis）

在报道中，制度端的语言是冷色调的技术术语（如“信息招聘行动”“专业资源补充”），而生活端的语言则是热色调的情感表达（如“西部被遗忘”“联邦忽视”）。[F2_8 🔍]-[F2_17 🔍]的深度报道中，艾伯塔选举局的官方声明与地方民众的不满形成鲜明对比，这种话语温度差凸显了制度理性与民众情感的脱节。从社会心理韧性来看，艾伯塔社会在面对联邦政策时，虽然能够通过公投的形式表达不满，但缺乏有效的制度渠道来转化这种情感为政策变革。这种脱节可能进一步加剧地方与联邦的对立。
