Video played at Bissonnette sentencing
Court was shown
images of the fatal
attack on a Quebec City
mosque that took the
lives of six men in 2017
LES PERREAUX QUEBEC CITY
The video of an attack on a Que-
bec City mosque that was played
in a courtroom on Wednesday
lasts just two minutes and 59 sec-
onds. The images are not just a
record of one of the worst mass-
murders in Canadian history, but
acts of bravery so numerous a
stern Crown prosecutor used the
word “heroic” at least three times
in his narration before switching
to “courageous.”
It was played to start the sen-
tencing hearing of Alexandre Bis-
sonnette, who killed six men, se-
riously wounded five others
among 57 worshippers before
fleeing the Grand Mosque of
Quebec City.
He pleaded guilty to first-de-
gree murder and is guaranteed a
life sentence with no chance of
parole for at least 25 years. The
Crown will argue the 28-year-old
should never be eligible for pa-
role, while the defence intends to
ask that he be given a chance to
apply, which would be when he is
53.
The Crown is laying out evi-
dence over the next two weeks to
show basic elements of the
crime, including how Mr. Bisson-
nette planned it. Several times as
he played the video, Crown pros-
ecutor Thomas Jacques paused to
note the killer’s strategic and me-
thodical tactics, including how
he retreated to a safe zone and
reloaded his Glock 9 mm pistol at
least four times, firing 48 shots.
But just as much time was
spent on the bravery of the men
and children he targeted.
The video, made up of footage
from six security cameras at the
mosque, starts at 7:53 p.m., on
Sunday, Jan. 29, 2017, as worship-
pers begin to leave after evening
Prayers are recited next to the caskets of three of the six victims of the Quebec City mosque shooting during
funeral services at the Maurice Richard Arena in February, 2017. PAUL CHIASSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS
prayers. Mr. Bissonnette walks up
the snow-covered street carrying
a guitar case. He takes out a .223
calibre semi-automatic rifle as
Ibrahima Barry and Mamadou
Tanou Barry walk out the door.
Startled, both men scramble, slip
on ice and fall. The killer pulls
the trigger, Mr. Jacques ex-
plained, but the weapon did not
fire.
As Mr. Bissonnette drops the
rifle and reaches for the pistol
under his coat, the two men rise.
Ibrahima Barry raises his hands
and appears to speak to the kill-
er, who shoots and Ibrahima Bar-
ry falls. Mamadou Tanou Barry
runs and is shot, too. The killer
walks up to each man, shoots
each once more, and walks into
the mosque.
Inside, three small children
are playing near a wall. As chaos
breaks out, a man in a red coat
gathers the children and rushes
them to a small anteroom.
At the height of the shooting,
the killer fires 30 rounds in 30
seconds.
The Crown is laying out
evidence over the next two
weeks to show basic
elements of the crime.
One disoriented child in a
brightly coloured coat wanders
around the room as bullets fly
before being dragged to safety.
None of the children were in-
jured.
Two minutes into the shoot-
ing, a man in a dark shirt bolts
across the prayer room. He ap-
pears to be drawing fire. A few
minutes later, a man in a grey
sweatshirt runs across the en-
trance of the prayer area directly
in the line of fire. He falls and
crawls away. “You can see a high
level of courage employed to try
to stop Mr. Bissonnette,” Mr. Jac-
ques said.
In the anteroom where several
have sought shelter, Mr. Jacques
told Superior Court Justice Fran-
çois Huot, Azzeddine Soufiane, a
57-year-old grocer known for his
generosity, hatched a plan: It was
time to rush the killer.
In the video, Mr. Soufiane
bolts across the room, driving Mr.
Bissonnette into a shoe rack. The
killer fights him off, pushes him
back and shoots him. He shoots
him again while he lies on the
ground. The killer reloads and
shoots Mr. Soufiane some more.
Others who had followed retreat-
ed and are shot off screen, Mr.
NEWS | A3
Jacques said.
Mr. Soufiane is mortally
wounded. The attack is nearly
over.
“The demonstration of cour-
age is indescribable,” Mr. Jacques
said. “Courageous and heroic. He
tries to stop this carnage him-
self.”
Outside, at a side entrance of
the mosque, at about the time
Mr. Bissonnette runs away,
chased by Said Akjour, who had
been shot in the shoulder, Mo-
hamed Belkadhir is shoveling
out a stairway. A couple out for a
walk tell Mr. Belkadhir they
heard gunfire. He runs to the
front, where he paces between
Ibrahima Barry and Mamadou
Tanou Barry while trying to call
911. He goes into the mosque and
surveys the scene before return-
ing outside to attend to the first
two victims.
He removes his coat and puts
it on Mamadou. He would ex-
plain to police that Ibrahima
showed no signs of life, while Ma-
madou was still trying to breathe.
As police approach the scene,
Mr. Belkadhir, who has no idea
what has happened, sees the
weapons drawn and runs for his
life. He is arrested and cleared a
short time later. “He took the he-
roic gesture in all that panic and
confusion of trying to keep the
victim warm,” Mr. Jacques said.
Before the video was shown,
the judge warned the several
dozen people in the public gal-
lery, including survivors and
family members of victims, that
they would be better off not
watching. Along with Mr. Sou-
fiane and the two Barrys, Khaled
Belkacemi, Abdelkrim Hassane
and Boubaker Thabti died in the
attack.
Aymen Derbali stayed. Mr.
Derbali was among the men who
intentionally drew fire from the
killer. He is now paralyzed. “Un-
like many others, I’m able to bear
witness,” Mr. Derbali said while
waiting for the elevator take him
in his wheelchair to the cour-
troom.
“I feel I should be here for
those who cannot.”

Trump says missiles ‘coming’ after Syrian gas attack

President’s tweets follow
warning from Moscow
that weapons will be
shot down and their
launch sites targeted
SUSAN HEAVEY
MAKINI BRICE
TOM PERRY
U.S. President Donald Trump
warned Russia on Wednesday of
imminent military action in Syria
over a suspected poison-gas at-
tack, declaring that missiles “will
be coming” and lambasting Mos-
cow for standing by Syrian Presi-
dent Bashar al-Assad.
Mr. Trump was reacting to a
warning from Russia that any U.S.
missiles fired at Syria over the
deadly assault on a rebel enclave
near Damascus would be shot
down and the launch sites target-
ed.
His comments raised the pros-
pect of direct conflict over Syria
for the first time between the two
world powers backing opposing
sides in the seven-year-old civil
war, which has aggravated insta-
bility across the Middle East.
“Russia vows to shoot down
any and all missiles fired at Syria.
Get ready Russia, because they
will be coming, nice and new and
‘smart!’ ” Mr. Trump wrote on
Twitter.
“You shouldn’t be partners
with a Gas Killing Animal who
kills his people and enjoys it!” Mr.
Trump tweeted, referring to Mos-
cow’s alliance with Mr. al-Assad.
In response, Russia’s Foreign
Ministry said: “Smart missiles
should fly towards terrorists, not
towards the lawful government”.
Foreign Ministry spokeswo-
man Maria Zakharova said any
U.S. missile salvo could be an at-
U.S. President Donald Trump, seen in the White House on Tuesday, has raised prospects of the first direct
conflict with Russia over the countries’ support for opposing sides in the Syrian civil war. DOUG MILLS/NYT
tempt to destroy evidence of the
reported gas attack in the town of
Douma. Damascus and Moscow
have denied any responsibility
and say the incident is bogus.
Dozens of people in Douma
died and hundreds were injured
in the attack, according to the
World Health Organization
(WHO).
U.S. Defence Secretary Jim Mat-
tis, striking a cautious tone after
Mr. Trump’s threat of missile
strikes, said the United States was
assessing intelligence about the
suspected attack. Asked if he had
seen enough evidence to blame
Mr. al-Assad, Mr. Mattis said:
“We’re still working on this.”
The U.S. military was ready to
provide military options, if appro-
priate, he added. It was unclear if
his remarks reflected unease
about Mr. Trump’s apparent
move toward military action.
Two U.S. government sources
told Reuters the United States still
did not have 100-per-cent solid
evidence of what nerve agent was
used in Syria and where it came
from. However, there is some evi-
dence it was sprayed from heli-
copters, they said.
In Moscow, the head of a Rus-
sian parliamentary defence com-
mittee, Vladimir Shamanov, said
Russia was in direct contact with
the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff about
the situation.
The Syrian Observatory for Hu-
man Rights, a British-based war
monitor, said pro-government
forces were emptying main air-
ports and military air bases. The
Syrian military has also been re-
positioning some air assets to
avoid the fallout from possible
missile strikes, U.S. officials told
Reuters.
The Russian military said it had
observed movements of U.S. Navy
forces in the Gulf. Any U.S. strike
would probably involve the navy,
given the risk to aircraft from Rus-
sian and Syrian air defences. A U.S.
guided-missile destroyer, the USS
Donald Cook, is in the Mediterra-
nean.
The Syrian foreign ministry ac-
cused the United States, which
has supported some rebel groups
in Syria’s conflict, of using “fabri-
cations and lies” as an excuse to
hit its territory.
In London, British Prime Min-
ister Theresa May said all the indi-
cations pointed to Syrian govern-
ment responsibility for the attack
and such “a shocking and barbar-
ic act” could not go unchallenged.
“We’re rapidly reaching an un-
derstanding of what happened on
the ground,” she told reporters.
“We’ll be working with our closest
allies to consider how we can en-
sure that those responsible are
held to account.”
The BBC reported later that Ms.
May was ready to give the go-
ahead for Britain to take part in
military action. She would not
seek approval from parliament,
the BBC said, despite calls from
the opposition Labour Party for
parliament to be given a say.
Oil prices jumped to their high-
est level in more than three years
on Wednesday after Mr. Trump’s
warning, and U.S. stock index fu-
tures fell sharply due to alarm
about a possible Russian-U.S. con-
flict over Syria.
White House officials did not
immediately provide more detail
about Mr. Trump’s remarks. The
U.S. Defence Department said it
did not comment on potential
military actions.
The WHO said 43 people had
died in Saturday’s attack on Dou-
ma from “symptoms consistent
with exposure to highly toxic
chemicals”, and more than 500
had been treated. The WHO cau-
tioned that it has no formal role in
forensic inquiries into the use of
chemical weapons. International
inspectors are seeking clearance
from Damascus to visit Douma
under safe conditions to deter-
mine whether globally banned
munitions were used, although
they will not assign blame.
Last year, the United States car-
ried out strikes from two Navy de-
stroyers against a Syrian air base
after another toxic-gas attack on a
rebel-controlled pocket.

Hundreds killed in Algerian plane crash

Refugees from Western
Sahara are among
passengers who died
in country’s worst air
disaster on record
HAMID OULD AHMED ALGIERS
More than 250 people including
Western Sahara refugees were
killed when a military plane
crashed near Algeria’s capital on
Wednesday, state media said, with
witnesses saying they saw a wing
catch fire shortly after the plane
took off.
Dozens of firefighters, rescue
workers and military officials
worked around the blackened fu-
selage of the aircraft, which had
been ripped open near its wings.
Bits of mangled and smoulder-
ing debris were scattered across
the field near Boufarik airport
southwest of Algiers, where peo-
ple were searching for bodies
among the rubble.
Earlier TV images showed
flames and smoke billowing from
the site of the crash, the country’s
worst air disaster.
“This morning at around 8
a.m., an Ilyushin model military
transport plane … crashed direct-
ly after takeoff in an agricultural
field that was clear of residents,”
Major-General Boualem Madi
told state TV.
A line of white body bags could
be seen on the ground next to the
wreck of what media said was a
Russian Ilyushin Il-76 transport
plane, part of which was still in-
tact. Smoke was still billowing
hours after the crash.
“After taking off, with the plane
at a height of 150 metres, I saw the
fire on its wing. The pilot avoided
crashing on the road when he
changed the flight path to the
spoke to a local TV station about a
relative who died in the crash.
“We talked on the phone yes-

to call me again on arrival in Tin-

included 26 members of the Poli-
sario Front, an Algerian-backed
group fighting for the independ-
ence of neighbouring Western
Sahara, a territory also claimed by
Morocco in a long-running dis-
pute.
A source close to Polisario said
the dead included four refugee
children and that around 30 refu-
gees who had received medical
treatment in the capital had been
killed in all.
Tindouf is home to tens of
thousands of refugees from the
Western Sahara standoff and a
source close to Polisario said the
flight route is taken regularly by
Western Saharan refugees.
The Defence Ministry said in a
statement it would investigate the
cause of the crash and it ex-
pressed condolences to the fam-
ilies of the victims.

years to come.
Third, when pressed on whether the company has any com-
petitors, Mr. Zuckerberg strained to name any. Having aggres-
sively acquired many potential competitors, Facebook – as well
as Google and Amazon – will all surely fight aggressively against
a new generation of competition policy.
Fourth, Mr. Zuckerberg surprised many by agreeing that Face-
book is responsible for the content on their platforms. While this
seems anodyne, the debate over whether Facebook is a neutral
platform or a media company is rife with legal and regularity im-
plications.
Finally, Mr. Zuckerberg suggested that lawmakers should fo-
cus attention on governing artificial intelligence. They repeated-
ly changed the subject. Since Facebook operates at a mind-bog-
gling global scale, they use AI to implement and even determine
their policies, regulations and norms. How states will in turn
govern these algorithms is certain to be a central challenge for
democracy. Mr. Zuckerberg knows it; Congress was disinterest-
ed.
Over the past 20 years, the internet has shown flashes of its
empowering potential. But the recent Facebook revelations also
demonstrate what can happen if we fail to hold it accountable.
Mr. Zuckerberg’s testimony is only the beginning of a long-
overdue conversation about whether we will govern platforms
or be governed by them.

what I hear is, “Do we have a responsibility for the content that people

2) DATA PROTECTION

Lawmakers got personal with Mr. Zuckerberg in highlighting the need

for better privacy regulations to protect user data, including pressing him
to asking him whether his own data had been sold to “malicious third
parties” like Cambridge Analytica (he said it was.)

Transcript from Tuesday’s hearing

REPRESENTATIVE ANNA ESHOO (D-CALIF.): Was your data included

in the data sold to the malicious third parties? Your personal data?

ZUCKERBERG: Yes.

ESHOO: It was. Are you willing to change your business model in the
interest of protecting individual privacy?

ZUCKERBERG: Congresswoman, we are – have made and are continuing

to make changes to reduce the amount of …

ESHOO: No, are you willing to change your business model in the in-
terest of protecting individual privacy?

ZUCKERBERG: Congresswoman, I’m not sure what that means.

ESHOO: Well, I’ll follow up with you on it.

3) SOCIAL-MEDIA MONOPOLY

One criticism of Facebook is that it has become a social-media monopoly,

which could open the door to a potential antitrust investigation. In Mr.
Zuckerberg’s view, Facebook competes aggressively for users’ attention
online.

Facebook has also been caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller’s

Liberal MP calls for probe into O’Leary fundraiser

Francis Drouin presses
elections commissioner
to take ‘fulsome’ look
at Tory campaign-debt
event held last week
LAURA STONE
PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER
OTTAWA
A Liberal MP wants the Commis-
sioner of Canada Elections to in-
vestigate whether Kevin O’Leary
broke the law by holding a fun-
draiser with his U.S. TV co-stars
to pay off the $530,000 debt from
his failed federal Conservative
leadership bid.
Liberal MP Francis Drouin has
asked Commissioner Yves Côté
for a “fulsome investigation” into
the celebrity businessman’s re-
cent fundraiser at historic Casa
Loma in Toronto.
Mr. O’Leary sought to attract
donors to last Thursday’s event
by promising to match the
$2,000 ticket price with an equiv-
alent donation to the Canadian
Olympic Foundation, which is
chaired by one of his chief fun-
draisers, Toronto lawyer Perry
Dellelce.
Mr. O’Leary said the federal
government would match the
contributions through a program
that funds future Olympic and
Paralympic athletes.
In a letter sent to Mr. Côté this
week, Mr. Drouin called the link

the appearances of Mr. O’Leary’s
co-stars on the entrepreneurial

considered an in-kind, or non-
monetary, contribution to the

“This investigation is neces-
sary in order to ensure proper ac-
counting and compliance with
both the spirit and letter of the
law,” wrote Mr. Drouin, who rep-
resents Glengarry-Prescott-Rus-

A spokeswoman for Mr. Côté’s
office would not comment. In a
letter to Mr. Drouin on Tuesday,
Mylène Gigou, acting senior di-
rector of investigations at the

Canada, confirmed the com-

FRANCIS DROUIN

According to Elections Cana-
da, the law does not prevent
leadership contestants from
matching political contributions
with a charitable donation of
their own. Expenses incurred be-
fore or after a leadership contest
are not regulated, but cannot be
paid with campaign funds. Non-
monetary contributions are not
subject to controls on contribu-
tions in the act, or reported.
Elections Canada has recom-
mended this be changed. The
Liberal government’s Bill C-50,
which is making its way through
the Senate, would change the law
to include all expenses incurred
as a result of a race, not just dur-
ing it.
In an interview, Mr. O’Leary
said he has followed all the rules.
“These claims are without
merit,” Mr. O’Leary said. “Every-
body that purchased a ticket, we
have to go through every single
one to make sure it’s been done
according to the rules.”
The event featured Mr. O’Le-
ary and his co-stars, real estate
mogul Barbara Corcoran and bil-
lionaire Mark Cuban, co-owner
of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks,
who spoke on a panel about top-
ics such as Mr. Cuban’s potential
bid for the U.S. presidency.
Mr. Drouin’s letter asked
whether Mr. O’Leary or his cam-
paign covered his co-stars’ costs
for the event.
Ms. Corcoran and Mr. Cuban
told The Globe and Mail last
week they paid their own way to
Toronto. Ms. Corcoran said Mr.
O’Leary paid for her hotel room,
while Mr. Cuban wasn’t sure if he
or Mr. O’Leary paid.
Mr. O’Leary, who estimated he
sold about 100 of the 250 tickets
available last week, said he is still
tallying the totals, but thought
he had raised about $180,000.
“It’s a lot of work, let me tell
you,” he said.
He said the fundraiser was
sponsored by brands such as
Veuve Clicquot and Toronto’s
Liberty Entertainment Group,
which paid for the event space.
Mr. O’Leary said he will have
to do three or four more events
to pay off his debt, for which he is
not allowed to use his own mon-
ey.

Toronto sellers hit hard in market plunge: report

New study says closing

homeowners to lose
an average of $140,000
in property value
in the last half of 2017

JILL MAHONEY

Hundreds of homeowners whose

real estate transactions collapsed
in the aftermath of Toronto’s
market plunge last spring lost an
average of $140,000 in property
value when they eventually man-
aged to sell their houses, accord-

The study is the first to mea-

sociated with so-called closing

The report also identifies high
demand from real estate inves-
tors as a key factor that fuelled
the region’s white-hot market in

BEWARE EXTREMES
Re A Clean Vote, But For What?
(editorial, April 11): Victor Orban’s

in Hungary for a third term. Eu-
rope is moving to far-right extre-
mism with xenophobia, Islamo-
phobia and anti-Semitism, and
not just in Hungary but in France,
Holland, Germany and elsewhere.
This is more than just far right,
it is neo-fascism. Europe is start-

Harper tweeted congratulations
to Mr. Orban. What on earth was
Mr. Harper thinking?

With the dangerous rise of anti-
Semitism in Europe, it is a sad iro-
ny that, in some of the world’s
most progressive countries, Jews
are less secure than we have been
in generations (Anti-Semitism Is
Rising Around The World – And
Maybe In Canada As Well, April 11).
A Jewish Swede, for example, is
some 20 times more likely to ex-
perience a hate crime than a Jew-
ish Canadian. If it can happen in
Sweden, France, or the U.K., we
cannot be complacent here when
it comes to the security of Jews
and other minorities.
While Canada remains one of
the best countries in which to be
Jewish, the seeds of extremism
exist here. History teaches us that
what starts with the Jews never
ends with the Jews. For the well-
being of Canadian society as a
whole, we must be vigilant in
countering anti-Semitism on the
far right and far left alike.

wrench into his sunny ways.
The Quebec Premier, who is often ac-
cused by his provincial adversaries of
not standing up to Ottawa enough,
stood stone-faced behind the Prime
Minister as Mr. Trudeau said, in French:
“I can reassure all Canadians from one
end of the country to the other that this
project in the national interest will be
accomplished.”
The crisis that has pitted British Co-
lumbia’s New Democratic government
against its Alberta NDP counterpart is
unfolding in the two provinces farthest
from Quebec. But make no mistake:
Quebec has as much at stake in this dis-
pute as Kinder Morgan, Alberta’s oil in-

ast week’s most important mu- China’s full-court press to counter U.S.

L sic was Invasion of Privacy, the

first full-length release from
Bronx-born rapper Cardi B. Ap-
pearing on Saturday Night Live the day
after dropping her clever, confessional
album, the unstoppable 25-year-old re-
vealed a long-rumoured pregnancy.
This week, the buzz is about
Queens-raised rapper Nicki Minaj, who
has been hinting that she also has new
music. She just confirmed that she’ll
have two new songs on Thursday, one
called Barbie Tingz: her love of the cur-
vy doll is so intense that in 2012, she
partnered with Mattel to design a “Mi-
najesty” version for charity.
Cardi B and Ms. Minaj rule the game
at a spectacular time for women in
rap. North Carolina’s Rapsody had two
nominations at the most recent Gram-
mys, while veteran Jean Grae released
a brainy sixth album last month. Indie
up-and-comers include everyone from
mouthy lesbian Young M.A to local
Torontonians Sydanie and the Soror-
ity.
This might seem like the moment
female emcees have been waiting for, a
much deserved ascendance of talented
queens. To dub this a moment, though,
is to obscure both the long history of
women in hip hop and the continued
existence of stubborn barriers. While
women’s current success is enjoyable,
a male-dominated establishment con-
tinues to hoard resources and stability.
This point is being underscored as
female pieces of rap’s historical puzzle
snap into place. In March, Netflix re-
leased Roxanne Roxanne, a biopic about
1980s freestyle prodigy Roxanne
Shante. Her life story is full of the same
setbacks as those of male legends, such
as Nas, who also grew up in New York’s
Queensbridge housing projects.
Beyond an absent father and ever-
present criminal opportunities, Ms.
Shante contended with social ills more
familiar to girls and women. As a
young mother she endured domestic
violence, which contributed to her dis-
appearance from the scene.
Combatting women’s fragile stand-
ing in every industry requires them to
hold high-level, behind-the-scenes po-
sitions, and rap is no exception. One
reason Roxanne Roxanne was made is
producer Mimi Valdes, who also drove
the telling of another story of long-
erased African-American women, Hid-
den Figures.

Awards in Inglewood, Calif., on March 11. The 25-year-old Bronx-born rapper released

Minneapolis rapper Lizzo explores
the need to do more than hold the mic
on her podcast, Good as Hell. She
speaks with female musicians about
universal issues including the pay gap
and balancing career with family.
One guest was groundbreaker Da
Brat, who at the turn of the millenni-
um became the first female emcee to
go platinum. During the last Golden
Age of women in rap, Da Brat was part
of a star-studded lineup that recorded
the 1997 song Not Tonight, alongside Lil’
Kim, Missy Elliott and Left Eye.
The posse cut is a classic show of
strength requiring a crew of at least
four and it was glorious that there were
enough successful female emcees to
make it happen. But soon after came
the Napster-era industry crash, when
artists were tossed from shrinking ros-
ters of every genre.
Less entrenched as multipurpose
writers, engineers and producers,
women were more vulnerable inside
panicking labels. The exception to this
rule is Missy Elliott, whose ubiquity
was hard won. “She had to kick in the
door,” said Da Brat, after reminiscing
that Missy Elliott hosted a Not Tonight
sleepover.
Today, the industry is still run and
dominated by men, such as Rick Ross,
who has said that he doesn’t sign wom-
en because he’d be unable to keep his
pants on. Less creepy but still complicit
is Drake, whose most recent video, Nice
for What, is studded with powerful
women, but whose OVO label doesn’t
include any women at all. That’s the
sickening industry standard: Last year,
Pitchfork found that of 15 hip-hop la-
bels, 12 had zero female artists.
As talented tokens, female rappers
are endlessly pitted against one anoth-
er in fake, ridiculous cat fights de-
signed to dilute the strength of their
numbers. Roxanne Roxanne shows Ms.
Shante being given money by her sup-
posed rival, Sparky D, after her male
manager takes off with her earnings.
This is still a problem: Cardi B and Ms.
Minaj have repeatedly denied bad
blood between them and yet, inter-
viewers keep asking.
Let me suggest a few ways to re-
spond to those tiring questions: For the
fans, record a searing posse cut to mark
this inspiring moment. For themselves,
rap’s current queens should insist on
writing credits, producing opportuni-
ties and equal partnerships in the la-
bels they make hits for, to ensure their
reign leaves a lasting legacy.
trade sanctions is much more than tit-for-tat,
you taxed me, so I’ll tax you harder. That is
just a sideshow to the real issue, which is
that, however the trade war ends, the West is
no longer prepared to tolerate China’s dis-
sembling and dishonesty in international in-
teractions.
This means not just the terms of trade and
investment, but cyber-espionage, subversion
of Western democratic processes through
covert agents and corrupt policy makers,
North Korea, and any number of murky
transactions in developing countries around
the world.
Just over 40 years ago, I became the
first foreign student to be enrolled in the his-
tory of ancient Chinese thought program,
taught in the department of philosophy
at Shanghai’s Fudan University. (That same
exchange program brought future ambassa-
dor Mr. Lu to study at university in
Canada.) During my three years there, I
was intensively guided through the essence
of China’s deep tradition by generous,
kind and highly learned senior Chinese
scholars.
It was a great privilege for me. My respect-
ed teachers, all educated in liberal institu-
tions prior to the Chinese Communist Revo-
lution in 1949, had been made to suffer con-
siderably during the Cultural Revolution
(1966-76).
But they were remarkably free of bitter-
ness about their fate. These gentlemen – now
long gone, but alive in the hearts and minds
of all the students they touched, including
the Canadians – possessed great qualities of
high-mindedness. They taught me well that
the Confucian ethic is one of open honesty
and broad-mindedness. Seeking petty ad-
vantage through deception comes at the cost
of universal harmony and the common
good.
Far be it from me to advise Beijing’s propa-
gandists how to understand what China’s
cultural tradition means in the contempo-
rary context of fractious international-rela-
tions conundrums and presidential Twitter,
but there is a lot to be said for the Han Dynas-
ty doctrine of “seek the truth from facts” (lat-
er championed by both Mao Zedongand
Deng Xiaoping to serve their own political
purposes).
While “honesty is the best policy”
may not be a hallmark of the Trump regime,
a more honest, less selective and less manip-
ulative adherence to the internat-
ional norms of the UN and WTO would defi-
nitely serve China’s interests – and those of
global justice, peace and prosperity – a lot
better.

A solid dose of
British drama and
daftness on Netflix
The streaming service offers
political thrills, gothic chills and
a healthy helping of scatological
laughs from across the pond

JOHN
DOYLE

OPINION

TELEVISION

he craving for British TV is unabated in Can-

T ada. I get queries all the time about when

and where a hit British show will turn up
here. Often the answer is, I just don’t know.
No, I’ve no idea when BBC America’s very hot Killing
Eve will land here.
While the streaming service BritBox promises a
lot, so far it hasn’t delivered much except access to
old, sometimes ancient, series. A lot of good TV
seems to vanish between there and here. Right now, I
wouldn’t mind seeing the Channel 4 comedy Derry
Girls. Set in Derry, Northern Ireland, during the tail-
end of The Troubles, it has been called “an instant
classic” and “daft, profane and absolutely brilliant.”
On Netflix, at the moment, you’ll find Collateral, a
superb four-part-thriller, written by playwright Da-
vid Hare, that stars Carey Mulligan as the lead detec-
tive in a murder case that deftly tackles politics, im-
migration issues and murky espionage as well as the
central crime.
There is also Requiem, a BBC drama on Netflix
now, a horror story taken to rather overly gothic ex-
tremes. A renowned cellist, Matilda (Lydia Wilson),
follows her mother’s mysterious collection of pho-
tos to Wales after her mom’s horrifying suicide. Ev-
erything is, possibly, connected to the 1994 disap-
pearance of a four-year-old child. It’s a shocker more
than a conventional horror story, with all sorts of
sudden, gruesome twists. And very British in its con-
nection to the old-school Hammer Films template of
gore, eroticism and much screaming. It’s not breezy, Marc Chagall’s La Tour Eiffel is expected to fetch up to US$9-million at auction next month. Sharon London Liss, a

male, very scatological and silly. But not without a
uniquely English down-to-earth focus on the local
and familiar.
Davies will be known to connoisseurs of British
TV from his roles on The Inbetweeners and Man Down.
He’s a tall, large man, about 50 years old now, and a
lot of his comedy is, essentially, about working out
his relationship with his parents. He’s never grown
up, really. In fact he opens his routine by saying, “My
system for stand-up is to go home to Shropshire with
a notebook and write down stupid stuff my mum
and dad say.” The resulting comedy, to judge by this
TV special, is a sociological exercise that doesn’t re-
ally have creative tension but has a lot of daft, rude
and robust humour.
He tells a story about his mum. It’s very rude and
he says his mum has been telling him not to tell
those jokes. He even shows us a text from her which
says exactly that. Then he tell a story that is quite
heart-warming. When some people in the audience
applaud, he says scornfully, “There’s no need for
that! We’re not Americans.”
He’s the sort of confessional comic who will pull
up his shirt and display his middle-aged spread. And
he’s unapologetic about the robustness of his hu-
mour: “The more upset you are, the funnier I find it.”
There’s a long account of being set up with a wom-
an at a dinner party in Bristol, which involves imitat-
ing accents and making horrendous fun of the wom-
an’s drinking and physical strength. Essentially, it
goes nowhere. He also does an imitation of the boxer
Chris Eubanks that is dead-on, but amounts to a man
in a pub telling you an amusing anecdote with ac-
cents included. A shaggy-dog story about an en-
counter with a Cockney cab driver in London goes
on and on, but has an excellent, if obvious, pun-
chline.
The meat of his material, though, is his eccentric
parents. About his mum, he recounts, “When I was a
child I wouldn’t eat my peas one Sunday, and she
punched me in the face.” She has, he tells us, object-
ed to this story: “It wasn’t a fist, it was a flat palm.”
The show’s climax is a tribute to his dad, who died
recently. Along the way, there’s a diversionary story
about a six-year-old child who eats a full roast chick-
en every day. In any case, his dad was Welsh and
wanted him to learn something about Welsh culture.
The upshot is that Davies concludes by introducing a
Welsh male choir to sing what amounts to a daft
commemoration of his father. It’s very British ma-
larkey.
Collateral, from playwright David Hare, stars
Carey Mulligan as the lead detective in a murder case
that tackles politics, immigration and espionage.

Imelda Staunton finds her feet
The British actor
talks about aging,
her career and
taking a step back
JOHANNA SCHNELLER
FAME GAME
or the past six years, Imelda
F Staunton has had either a
script or a score running
through her head. In London’s
West End, she played Mrs. Lovett
in Sweeney Todd and won a best ac-
tress Olivier Award for it. She
played Mama Rose in Gypsy and
won another Olivier. She played
Margie in Good People, Martha in
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and
Sally in Follies, and was nominat-
ed for Oliviers for those, too. Dur-
ing that same period, she ap-
peared in two telefilms – includ-
ing The Girl, which earned her an
Emmy nomination – and five fea-
tures. The most recent, Finding
Your Feet, opens in Canada on Fri-
day.
So on this late winter after-
noon, speaking by phone from
the London home she shares with
her husband of 35 years (actor Jim
Carter, who played the beloved
head butler on Downton Abbey),
Staunton has nothing on her
schedule other than making “a
very good chicken soup.”
“I’m no longer thinking, ‘Well, I
better keep working or people
will wonder,’ ” she says. Her char-
acters’ voices range from giddy
(the excitable matron in Sense and
Sensibility) to scary (Dolores Um-
bridge in three Harry Potter films);
in real life, her voice is deep and
elegant. “I don’t care. I’m going to
have my life now. I’m going to
work, but not for a little while. I’ve
yet to discover what that feels
like.”
If you’re thinking, “Hang on,
Vera Drake is married to Mr. Car-
son? Does every storied actor in

pretty much. Consider Finding

INDIGENOUS YOUTH SHOULD
‘LIVE AND DREAM’ IN THEIR
OWN LANGUAGES
Student researchers from across the country gathered in Ottawa to discuss the future of indigenous education.
They talked about learning from their elders, celebrating their differences and the fight to hold on to their heritage
COTY ZACHARIAH BEGAN
TEACHING HIS daughter about her
culture from the day she was born.
In some Mohawk communities, it is
traditional to offer words of welcome
in the Mohawk language just as
babies are emerging into the world.
Zachariah, whose father is from the
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory near
Belleville, Ont., was determined to
continue this tradition. So on the day
his daughter was born, Zacha-
riah spoke to the doctors about his
wishes. They agreed to be quiet at the
critical moment of birth, so that the
first words his daughter heard would
be in her ancestral language.
As the “proud father of a Mohawk
girl,” it was a special moment for
Zachariah, and emblematic of his
belief that indigenous children need
exposure to their own languages as
they grow up.
“It’s learning how to live and dream
in the languages,” said Zachariah.
“Learning the culture and natural
knowledge. Learning the rules of the
community.”
Zachariah shared his story at a
recent forum in Ottawa hosted by the
National Centre for Collaboration in
Indigenous Education (NCCIE). The
NCCIE is an initiative of First Nations
University of Canada (FNUniv), a
federated college of the University of
Regina that specializes in indigenous
knowledge.
The goal of the NCCIE is to gather
stories of indigenous education
across Canada and share those stories
both in community forums and on
their website (nccie.ca). The ultimate
aim is to create a Canada-wide
network of indigenous education by
celebrating success stories and shar-
ing best practices.
Zachariah, a student at FNUniv, was
part of a panel of student researchers
who were hired by the NCCIE to in-
terview indigenous educators, elders
and community members across the
country. The researchers were invited
to the Ottawa forum to share what
they learned in the field, as well as
give their own perspectives as young
Imelda Staunton, seen in the new film Finding Your Feet, has played giddy (Sense and Sensibility) and scary
(the Harry Potter films). Fresh off a slew of Olivier Award nominations, and a win, she is back on screen
in what she calls a ‘lightweight film’ and a ‘gentle, feel-good story.’
sessed politician’s wife (Staun-
ton) discovers that her husband
has been having an affair, moves
into the council flat of her bohe-
mian sister (Celia Imrie) and
takes a shine to a fellow (Timothy
Spall) in the dance class that
opens her up to a new life. Staun-
ton has known Imrie since 1978;
they appeared in the film Nanny
McPhee and in the TV series Cran-
ford together. Staunton has
known Spall even longer. They
went to the Royal Academy of
Dramatic Art at the same time
(she graduated in 1976; Alan Rick-
man was in their cohort). They’ve
since appeared together in the
Harry Potter series.
“Our on-screen relationships
have got an unspoken depth to
them,” Staunton says. “You catch
up with someone when you work
with them. It is a sort of family.
And at memorials, which good-
ness knows I go to enough of, I
look around at the congregation
and think, ‘Blimey, I know nearly
everyone here.’ ”

way?’
Student researcher
Salina Kemp
on being educated
by indigenous elders
Beyond the casting, it’s easy to
see why Staunton was drawn to
the theme of Finding Your Feet: It’s
about ducking out of your life,
even temporarily, and how that
re-energizes you. “This is a light-
weight film,” Staunton says brisk-
ly. “We’re not doing something
terribly unusual. But we are doing
something that affects a lot of
people. We’re telling a very ordi-
nary story about how we deal with
the difficulties we’re faced with.
Who knows? It might enlighten
someone to just take a little step
back and ask, ‘What am I doing?’
At the very least, it’s an April after-
noon spent watching a gentle,
feel-good story with a little bit of a
cry. That’s not so bad.”
It’s also frank about aging, and
Staunton, who is 62, is glad of it.
“Society tells us everything is over
by our 50s,” she says. “We’re abso-
lutely obsessed with ‘Stay young!
Just stay young!’ Well sod that,
you literally can’t stay young, so I
don’t know what we’re talking
about. You can dress young, but

old. Let’s do it in a civilized way, in
a way that has a bit of dignity.’ ”
She lets out a little snort. “Of
course, then I look in the mirror
and go, ‘Bloody hell.’ But I am
down that road. And no amount
of surgery can stop the aging proc-
ess.”
Actresses in England have an
easier time than the ones in the
United States, Staunton contin-
ues. Their history is theatre, and
“Maggie, Judi, Helen and I” – refer-
ring of course to Smith, Dench
and Mirren – “can keep working,
and sort of looking like our-
selves.” Still, she’s been attending
BAFTA meetings advocating for
50-per-cent female representa-
tion in film, for actors, creators
and crews.
Born in North London to Irish
parents – her dad was a labourer,
her mom a hairdresser whose
shop they lived above – Imelda
Canadian elementary schools often
tell children to sit down and listen, she
said, indigenous communities instead
ask their young ones to speak up.
“It’s learning by doing. Learning
by questions. It’s sitting down with
something and going, ‘Why is it this
way?’” said Kemp. She recalled how
her elders encouraged her to question
things and form her own opinions
about them, which she said made her

Staunton caught the eye of an elo-
cution teacher in her Catholic pri-
mary school and has been work-
ing ever since. (She met her hus-
band when they did Guys and
Dolls at the National Theatre to-
gether.)
“I’m a Londoner, born and
bred,” she says. “I must be the on-
ly person who said no to doing
Gypsy on Broadway, because I
couldn’t be away from home for
that long.”
The life is as exhilarating as it is
exhausting. “Actors spend our
whole lives understanding other
people’s lives. Surely that rubs off
on us, and so it should. Martha in
Virginia Woolfe – that’s a tough one
to churn out every night. But I also
feel utterly and totally enriched
by every person I’ve inhabited.”
Art is necessary to all our lives,
Staunton continues: “All our lives
would be so much worse without
it. Paintings, films, music, theatre
– it’s people expressing them-
selves, and maybe expressing
someone’s story who cannot tell
their own. It’s pointing out to oth-
ers, ‘Do you see what’s happening
over there?’ We have to reflect the
human condition to each other,
to help us understand each oth-
er.”
Now that Staunton can pick
and choose her work, she’s choos-
ing to do a little less. She wants to
see friends, do Sunday lunches, go
on trips with her husband. She
wants to cook, take her dog for
walks in Hampstead Heath and
spend time with her daughter Be-
ssie, 25, also an actress.
What she doesn’t want to do:
“Make myself do anything,” she
says. “I don’t want to fill my day. I
want to make a cup of tea and sit
and read the paper or my book,
and just regroup. I’m not going to
take a course in ceramics, no. I
want to have no plans at all.”
She has recently gotten into so-
da bread. “I’m making a lot of so-
da bread,” Staunton says. Sounds
delicious.
Finding Your Feet opens April 13.
Special to The Globe and Mail
a stronger student.
Amber Shilling, an Anishinaabe
student at the University of British
Columbia in Vancouver, said the
experience of interviewing elders
was “enlightening.” She spoke of the
laughter and sense of humour in the
people that she interviewed, but also
noted that they had “complicated feel-
ings about education,” dating back
to the residential schools they were
forced to attend.
As she completes her PhD in
educational studies, Shilling said she
feels she still must fight for indig-
enous ways to be acknowledged and
accepted. “It’s exhausting to be an
indigenous youth. We have so many
responsibilities, which I think we hap-
pily [take on],” she said.
Shilling added that it can be “ter-
rifying” to stand up for indigenous
practices in the world of academia.
“I’m so grateful for the trailblazers
who came before and stamped on
the grass and made it easier.’”
Zachariah noted that as an un-
dergrad in indigenous studies, he’s
been heartened to see the historical
knowledge of indigenous peoples
starting to be “normalized” in the
Canadian post-secondary educational
landscape. But the challenges faced
by previous generations have not
gone away, he said.
“Boys are made fun of for having
braids. [Non-indigenous] kids are still
making fun of [indigenous children]
for speaking our languages. It’s
something we still need to be aware
of today.”
Schools need to be more accepting
of indigenous education, said Zacha-
riah, and more indigenous teachers
and professors should be hired to
improve the outcomes of indigenous
students.
Kemp pointed out the importance
of remembering that each indigenous
nation is unique and needs to be re-
spected as such. She noted that while
their panel represented a coming to-
gether of several indigenous nations,
the five people on stage couldn’t
possibly represent the range of educa-
tional offerings out there. In each local
environment, the spiritual teachings
and languages will be different.
“It [can be] the same theoretical
framework, but we really cannot lose
sight of the fact that we have differ-
ences,” she said. “That’s what makes
us special as individual nations.”

The Outback from the inside out
Warwick Thornton’s
Sweet Country looks at
the Australia ‘you don’t
find in history books’
KATE
TAYLOR
OPINION
WIDE ANGLE
hen director Warwick
W Thornton first read the
script for Sweet Country,
the potent Australian drama that
won the Platform Prize at the To-
ronto International Film Festival
last September, he did so with
trepidation. Based on a local sto-
ry about an aboriginal man run-
ning from the law, it was written
by his boyhood friend, the film-
industry sound recordist David
Tranter: He had to be honest, but
what would Thornton say if the
script wasn’t any good?
Luckily, Thornton fell in love
with what he describes as a sim-
ple western – “a guy shoots a guy;
he goes on the run; a posse ar-
rives; it tracks him down” – and
signed on to direct a film in
which he would turn this arche-
typal story into something specif-
ically and hauntingly Australian.
Both he and Tranter are abo-
riginal, from neighbouring peo-
ples in the Northern Territory,
and grew up in Alice Springs, in
the heart of Australia’s Red Cen-
tre. The script Tranter showed
Thornton is based on the actual
case of an aboriginal man named
Wilaberta Jack, who was acquit-
ted for shooting a white settler in
self-defence in that area in 1929,
but Tranter’s knowledge of it was
as a story recounted by his grand-
father.
“We’re not part of the history
books,” Thornton said during a
phone interview from Sydney,
where Sweet Country made its de-
but in January. “It’s not taught in
schools; it comes from an oral
history, our grandfathers and
grandmothers telling us stories.

… When we do make films, it’s
the first time it gets set in stone
… or celluloid, so it’s really im-
portant we get the story right.”
The story as Tranter wrote it
was a “clear, basic western, with
good guys and bad guys,” Thorn-
ton recalls. That was its attrac-
tion, but Thornton’s job was to
make things more complicated.
In the final film, the character
of Sam Kelly, played by the pow-
erfully impassive Hamilton Mor-
ris, is indisputably justified in
shooting the raving racist Harry

actor Bryan Brown) is merciless

from shell shock.
The way that information is re-
layed is also typical of Thornton’s
complicating hand.
Throughout Sweet Country –
which does not have a musical
score – there are brief and com-
pletely silent scenes that the au-
dience gradually realizes repre-
sent thoughts, memories, flash-
backs or premonitions. March,
for example, does tell Smith that
he has fought the Germans on
the Western Front, but, as he of-
fers the preacher a bottle of
booze in exchange for help on his
ranch, it’s the quick and utterly
silent image of him raging drunk-
enly by his own fireside that re-
veals the reality of this danger-
ous man.
“They aren’t actually written
in the script,” Thornton says of
these passages. “I had a weirdo
director’s epiphany on the first
day of shooting that I needed
shades of grey; I needed to see
inside a mind. I need to see fear.”
He points out that neither dia-
logue nor facial expressions re-
veal a whole character and he
saw this as a way of bridging that
gap.
The technique, hinting at pre-
monitions of Sam’s fate or expos-
ing interior lives, infuses the clas-
sic western plot of frontier justice
with a sense of aboriginal spiritu-
ality, an effect further heightened
as Sam and his wife, Lizzie, flee
the posse of white men into the
mountains and desert they know
so well. Thornton purposefully
cast Morris, a non-professional
actor and school teacher who he
recruited in Alice Springs, be-
cause he was looking for some-
one who he felt could reveal a
spiritual connection to the land:
The film was shot in the MacDon-
nell Ranges, the mountains
around Alice Springs.
“We have our own version of
A-list actors in Australia, and
there are Indigenous actors who
are amazing but I didn’t want to
work with them: I wanted some-
one who was from the country
we were shooting in. … I was
looking for someone connected
to the spirit of the country
M E D I A PA RT N E R S

[whose] family has gone through
the same journey as what actual-
ly happens in the film. There’s an
internal knowledge they have al-
ready. I went back to Alice
Springs and that is where I found
Hamilton; he has that beautiful
kind of persona and the camera
would recognize that.”
He then cast another non-pro-
fessional, Natassia Gorey Furber,
as Lizzie, and asked her to finesse
one of the more difficult mo-
ments in the script – a rape
scene. Thornton, who considers
most sex scenes or nudity in film
to be gratuitous, decided he
couldn’t excise this one, but
struggled to figure out how to
shoot it.
“I didn’t completely nail that
scene until three days before
shooting. … The makeup artist
came to me and said, ‘Natassia is
really nervous about it,’ and I
said I have to pull my finger out,
as the director, and confront the
scene and do what I need to do.
… I completely redesigned the
scene.”
His solution was simply to
show the rapist walking into the
cabin where Lizzie is cleaning as
though he owned her and begin
methodically shutting the shut-
ters. The audience knows exactly
what is coming next.
“The audience goes to a place
that is probably a whole lot dark-
er than anything I could have cre-
ated,” Thornton said.
On a lighter note there is Phi-
lomac, the young boy played by
Tremayne and Trevon Doolan,
twins from a remote community
north of Alice Springs. Philomac,
who adds both suspense and a
note of comedy to Sweet Country,
sees the shooting and knows the
truth but is too fearful – or per-
haps too mischievous – to come
forward. He is an audience’s hope
and its despair, as justice seems
determined to elude the fleeing
Sam. For all his youth, the role
Philomac plays is that of history:
He represents the screenwriter’s
grandfather witnessing this story.
Sweet Country opens April 13 in
Toronto.

SP ON SOR CON T EN T
HOSTING THE CONGRESS OF HUMANITIES
AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
The University of Regina’s steadfast commitment to amplifying its impact
HOW CAN THE IMPACT OF A
UNIVERSITY BE MEASURED?
By the number of students and the
quality of the education and supports
that enable students to succeed
in their studies and beyond? By
the contributions to surrounding
communities, regions and the
country? Or by research that advances
our understanding of the world and
helps to address present-day and
future challenges?
For Dr. Vianne Timmons, all these
aspects are important. Since she
joined the University of Regina as
president and vice-chancellor in 2008,
she has been working to advance
the university’s academic mission:
teaching, research and community
service. This work has included a
focus on Indigenization, creating a
sustainable campus and ensuring
a welcoming, diverse campus
community for all.
A dedication to student success
is also evident in the University
of Regina’s supports. Students
participate in experiential learning
opportunities through co-operative
education, practicum placements
and internships, as well as the
UR Guarantee program. Students
participating in this unique program
– the first of its kind in Canada – can
benefit from waived tuition and
course fees for an additional year
of undergraduate study if they are
unable to secure a job in their field
within six months of graduation.
Another support, the Campus
for All program, started in 2006
in association with the Faculty of
Education and the Regina District
Association for Community Living.
It gives adults with intellectual
or developmental disabilities the
opportunity to experience being
on campus and participate in
programming alongside fellow
students and professors. For her work
in the field of inclusive education,
PRODUCED BY RANDALL ANTHONY COMMUNICATIONS. THE GLOBE’S EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ITS CREATION.
Among the University of Regina’s strategic priorities are a commitment
to Indigenization and a focus on research excellence. SUPPLIED
Dr. Timmons received the National
Inclusive Education Award in 2010.
The University of Regina has seen
steady enrolment growth – a 31 per
cent increase since 2008. It has also
been dedicated to welcoming First
Nations, Métis and Inuit students
– enrolment numbers of students
who self-declare have increased 91
per cent since 2010. “Indigenization
at the University of Regina includes
efforts to transform university places
and practices through the inclusion
of Indigenous ways of knowing
– particularly those of the many
Indigenous Nations upon whose
lands the university is situated,” says
Dr. Emily Grafton, executive lead,
Indigenization, University of Regina.
“This can include the development
and application of knowledge,
teaching, construction of spaces,
and interaction of Indigenous
and non-Indigenous peoples
and communities to re-create the
university into a place and mindset
where we can all study, work and
live together in a good way.”
Dr. Grafton, who is Métis, adds,
“Indigenization at the university is
a Call to Action towards truth and
reconciliation and an invitation to
learn together and from each other. It
impacts all aspects of campus life, in
everything from our curriculum to our
campus design and the ceremonies
that are part of convocation.”
A strategic focus on supporting
research across a wide range of topics
has led to an increase in partnerships,
funding and recognition. “The
University of Regina is at the forefront
of global academic research in health,
science and engineering, as well as
the social sciences and humanities,”
says the Hon. Ralph Goodale,
Member of Parliament for Regina-
Wascana. “Investments in science
and innovation at the university
are driving greater productivity and
competitiveness, creating a more
prosperous future for us all.”
This work is putting the University
of Regina on the map. In fact,
the university was successful in
its bid to host the 2018 Congress
of the Humanities and Social
Sciences, Canada’s largest academic
conference.
Community partners have
welcomed the news of Congress
2018. “The University of Regina is one
of Regina’s most valued community
partners, bringing people from all
over the world to our community to
learn, to work and to expand their
horizons,” says Michael Fougere,
Mayor of the City of Regina.
“Supporting the University of Regina’s
bid to host Congress 2018 was an
easy decision, as it is expected to
bring 7,000 delegates to the city
and create an economic impact
of approximately $8-million. The
university has been an integral part of
our community for generations, and
we are excited to see them take on
the challenge of hosting this event.”
Success for the University of
Regina, then, is measured in the
quality of its graduates, impact of
its research, and contribution to
community.

‘I think the way to create a character who is more than himself is to make him as concrete a human being as
possible,’ writer David Grossman says about character development. KOBI KALMANOVITZ
David Grossman on the
story he couldn’t forget
Author’s novel
A Horse Walks Into
a Bar is about the
last performance
of an Israeli
stand-up comedian
DAVID BEZMOZGIS
ast year, the renowned Israe-
L
li author and peace activist
David Grossman was award-
ed the Man Booker International
Prize for his novel, A Horse Walks
Into a Bar – a compact, savagely
funny and moving book about
the last performance of an Israeli
stand-up comedian. The story
that inspired the book – about a
teenage boy at an army prepara-
tory camp who’s told that one of
his parents has died, but not
which one – had haunted him for
more than two decades. “I
thought the people who did this
must have been so cruel, but it
was a very specific kind of cruel-
ty,” Grossman said in a phone in-
terview with The Globe and Mail.
“The most cunning kind of cruel-
ty is indifference.”
In the intervening years, each
time Grossman finished a book,
he tried and failed to write this
story until he realized that it
needed to be told by a stand-up
comedian, who, under the guise
of jokes, smuggles in the more
tragic elements of his life.
Once you realized this was going
to be about a stand-up comedian,
where did all the jokes come from?
I think you know as a writer that
when you are writing about a
topic, the world becomes like a
hermetic system of this topic.
And, when I started writing about
a comedian, suddenly I noticed
how often people told me jokes.
There is something fascinating
about the idea of the joke. Be-
cause if we met on the corner of
Jaffa Street and King George
Street in Jerusalem, I will not stop
you and start singing you an aria,
but I will tell you, “Listen, David,
a Jew, a Christian and a Muslim
were on a plane and suddenly the
pilot comes on and says the en-
gine is broken and we have only
one parachute.” Now it’s totally
far-fetched, absurd and surreal
information that you have no
connection to, and yet immedi-
ately you know that I’m going to
tell you something that is imagi-
nary, about people you don’t
know, but that in the end you will
have the pleasure of laughing. It’s
really one of the most unique cre-
ations of mankind, the joke.
The thing with jokes is that there
has to be a commonality, enough
frames of reference for people to
understand that something is
funny. And in reading the book, I
had the impression that it was a
very Israeli book. As compared to
a very Jewish book. I’m drawing
the distinction between Israel and
the Jewish diaspora. There are
many references that Israeli Jews
will get that North American Jews
will not. In this way, I thought the
book was very much of its time –
when there’s a role reversal be-
tween Israeli Jews and the diaspo-
ra, where that role of the senior
partner and the junior partner has
changed. Were you conscious of
this when you wrote it?
When I wrote it, I had no inten-
tion to deal with the relationship
between Israelis and world Jewry.
I wrote a story about an Israeli co-
median. But I feel also that it’s a
very Israeli book because it gives
people outside of Israel a way to
look at Israel today, if they care.
They can see the process Israel is
undergoing: the process of vul-
garity, of becoming more vulgar
and rude and violent. Of course
there is a difference between Is-
raeli humour and the Jewish, Yid-
dish humour, which is more del-
icate and sophisticated – a self-
ironic kind of humour, while the
Israeli humour is much more
straightforward. Superficial in a
way. It’s like a punch in the stom-
ach.
In thinking about Yiddish humour
compared to Israeli humour, Jews
are traditionally known to be
funny, though I don’t know if Jews
were funny in the Bible.
No, the Bible is not funny. I can-
not even think of one joke in the
Bible.
I wonder if it isn’t a question of
exile. I’m not the first to say that
humour is a coping mechanism.
Jews became funny because of
their marginality. Is it possible to
be funny when you’re no longer
marginal? You have a great line in
the book that the lefties’ biggest
problem is that they don’t know
how to laugh, even when they’re
alone – which they usually are.
Which is very funny. But then what
about the people on the right?
Hitler wasn’t funny.
No, Hitler wasn’t funny.
Stalin and the Bolsheviks weren’t
funny.
And Putin is not funny.
The left was where you were
supposed to be funny and trans-
gressive, where there were no
taboos, but it seems like the left
you’re talking about isn’t funny
either. The right isn’t funny, the
left isn’t funny –
So, who is funny?
Yeah, who is funny?
Regarding laughter here in Israel,
maybe because we are fed up
with ourselves, because our sit-
uation has become such a rou-
tine and all the arguments have
been consumed and exhausted,
on both sides, that we are in a
dangerous situation where de-
spair is no longer an incentive to
act but it’s the last stop before ap-
athy. And even when there are
jokes about the situation, and
there is a brilliant satire show
called Eretz Nehederet (A Wonder-
ful Country), and another called
Gav Ha’Uma (The Back of the Na-
tion) – it’s from a quotation, a ref-
erence to stabbing a knife into
the back of the nation – both of
them are quite, not all, but quite
leftist. And so many times my
wife and I are watching it, be-
cause we need to watch it, we
want to find some relief, but after
10 minutes we look at each other
and say, “Yes, but reality is fun-
nier. Or not even funnier, but
more extreme than what they
dare to say.” And maybe when
the reality is so absurd it’s really
hard to be funny about it.
If you don’t mind, I’ll read what I
wrote when I got to the end of
your book. It pertains to your
protagonist, Dovaleh G. This is
what I wrote: “Dovaleh is a specif-
ic man and at the same time a
representative of something more,
something that is being extin-
guished or is flickering out and
what is replacing it is not as good.
There’s a sense of nostalgia or
worse …” Am I reading more into
the book than you intended?
Not at all. I think the way to cre-
ate a character who is more than
himself is to make him as con-
crete a human being as possible.
There are two kinds of identifica-
tion with a literary character. The
easier one is that you identify
with him because he reminds
you of yourself. This is the most
immediate and almost trivial way
of identification. But there is an-
other way of identification that
suddenly you feel that this con-
crete person radiates something
bigger, something deeper, some-
thing more common to you and
it tells you something about the
drama of being a human being.
How did the character personified
by Dovaleh G, the novel’s protago-
nist, make you feel about the
future of Israelis and Jews around
the world? Because the connection
to Yiddish, as a shorthand for this
more delicate way of being, is
coming to an end. Is it something
you think about?
Very much I think about it. I trav-
el a lot. I meet a lot of Jews all
over the world. And I feel the
worry. I feel different processes.
On the one hand the more vigor-
ous and belligerent tendency and
the feeling that we are the eternal
victims so we should be stronger
and stronger. And on the other
hand the worry for the character,
for the nature of Israel and for the
processes we are undergoing.We
are a culture of nuances, because
we have a verbal tradition and a
verbal heritage, because we have
a language that counts back 3,500
years, and it developed the ability
for nuances, for delicacies. And I
feel that now, because of the air
of violence in which Israel is im-
mersed, we have become more
and more thick, less and less dis-
tinctive, less and less sensitive.
But if you occupy another people
for more than 50 years, deeply, in
yourself, you start to believe that
they are different kinds of human
beings, existentially. And if the
Palestinians are losing for so
many years and if they are unable
to change the situation in any
way, and if they comply with our
occupation, well, maybe it says
something existentially about
them as human beings? This is
the most dangerous point from
which deterioration is almost in-
evitable. And our future and the
way we shall be and the character
of us as a society and as a nation
will be defined mostly by what
will happen in the coming years
regarding our relationship with
our neighbours. There are such
heavy consequences of living in
violence, of having no hope for
peace, of preparing every mo-
ment for the next war. And if this
is the way you live your life, if ev-
ery moment can be the moment
before the eruption of a new war,
inevitably you start to believe
that war is the right order of
things. This is what reality is
made of – war, animosity, suspi-
cion, hatred. You cannot live like
this for so many years without
being changed and even distort-
ed in your character, in the range
of your hopes and what you al-
low yourself to wish for and hope
for.

A labour shortage

LOVING THE LIFE American dining

he owner of Taco Bamba Taqueria peered

T out from the kitchen at the line of customers

snaking around the corner at his latest spot
in a suburban Virginia strip mall, and felt
terror. Who was going to cook, serve and clean up for
all these people?
“The cooks had left,” overwhelmed by the crowds,
said Victor Albisu, who owns four Taco Bambas in
the region, with a new upscale Mexican place on the
horizon. “The wait staff had left. The chef and sous-
chef had walked out because of the amount of busi-
ness. It doesn’t stop.”
A tight labour market and an explosion of new
restaurants have made finding and keeping help ev-
er more difficult across the United States.
In 2017, the National Restaurant Association re-
ported 37 per cent of its members said labour recruit-
ment was their top challenge, up from 15 per cent two
years ago. With low profit margins leaving little
room to do what most businesses do in tight mar-
kets – increase wages – restaurant owners are having
to find other ways to attract and hold onto workers.
They are offering incentives, such as repaying cul-
inary-school tuition for their chefs. They are hiring
former prisoners as assistants and snapping up em-
ployees whom competitors have fired. They are try-
ing to retain employees with tequila-tasting semi-
nars and flexible schedules.
“I think the assumption is, the industry has to
continue to evolve in terms of the work force it is try-
ing to appeal to,” said Gordon Lambourne, a spokes-
man for the National Restaurant Association Educa-
tional Foundation. “People want flexibility, they
want some growth defined for them.”
The growth in dining out is clear. The United
States added 15,145 restaurants, a net increase of 2.5
per cent, between the third quarters of 2016 and 2017,
according to the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics.
“Everybody eats out,” said Gerri Mason Hall, the
head of human resources at Sodexo in North Amer-
ica, the giant food-service company and cafeteria
operator, which also vies for restaurant workers. “We
are competing for executive chefs, front-line cooks,
the entire talent pool.”
The demand for highly skilled help is especially
acute in Washington, where a boom in restaurants
run by creative chefs is outstripping the region’s la-
bour force. Restaurant guide Zagat named Washing-
ton, once considered a second-tier city in the culi-
nary world, the United
States’ hottest food city

Humboldt Broncos’ trainer
dies, raising death toll to 16
ANDREA WOO
MIKE HAGER
The Humboldt Broncos’ athletic trainer, a
24-year-old woman who had been with
the team for almost two years, has died,
pushing the death toll from the team
bus’s collision with a semi-trailer to 16.
Dayna Brons had been listed in critical
condition since last Friday’s crash outside
of Tisdale, Sask. Her family previously
said she had undergone two surgeries and
was in a medically induced coma.
On Wednesday, the family issued a
statement saying Ms. Brons died peaceful-
ly that afternoon while surrounded by
those she loved, and those who loved her.
“Dayna will be forever remembered for
her joyful smile and her passion and love
of sport,” the statement said.
Ms. Brons, who grew up on a farm near
Lake Lenore, Sask., joined the team as an
athletic therapist and equipment manag-
er in the summer of 2016.
When she was hired, she said that her
own love of sports and being active led
her into the field of athletic therapy. She
studied kinesiology at the University of
Regina and worked for a lacrosse team in
Saskatoon before joining the Broncos.
This latest death comes as a country in
mourning continues to rally together in
support. A fundraising account for the
victims has raised nearly $9-million.
People are donning hockey jerseys in
solidarity with the Broncos. Hockey teams
and individuals across the country have
left hockey sticks out for the fallen play-
ers.
Organ donation registrations have also
surged with the news that Broncos de-
fenceman Logan Boulet had insisted on
Unique salt lakes found under Nunavut glacier
IVAN SEMENIUK
SCIENCE REPORTER
Call them the lakes that shouldn’t be.
Deep beneath a massive glacier in the
Canadian Arctic, scientists have discovered
a pair of hidden reservoirs that may offer a
unique opportunity for testing the possi-
bility that life exists elsewhere in our solar
system.
The lakes, which were discovered with
the help of ice-penetrating radar, measure
eight and five kilometres long and occupy
parallel depressions on Nunavut’s Devon
Island. They lie beneath the centre of a
sprawling, permanent ice cap that covers
the eastern end of the island. Scientists es-
timate the ice cap has kept the lakes sealed
off from their surrounding environment
for up to 120,000 years.
But what is most surprising about the
lakes is how cold they are. Calculations sug-
gest they must be at or near -10.5 C. Only ex-
tremely briny water – about 15 per cent salt
by weight – can remain liquid at such a low
temperature. This offers the prospect of
two dark, cold, hypersaline bodies of water
that may be the closest thing Earth has to
what exist under the ice caps of Mars or the
hidden ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa.
“They might be a unique ecosystem that
could support microbial life,” said Anja
Rutishauser, a PhD student at the the Uni-
versity of Alberta, who made the discovery.
“This might help us better understand the
possibilities and limitations of life in such
extreme environments on Earth, but also
beyond Earth.”
Ms. Rutishauser spotted the lakes last
year while examining radar cross-sections
through the Devon ice cap obtained from
NASA and other U.S. collaborators. They
appeared then as two flat-bottomed
Pipeline: Kinder Morgan deadline is ‘reasonable,’ Morneau says
FROM A1
The Government of British Columbia,
meanwhile, indicated it is prepared to pro-
ceed with a reference to the federal court
to determine whether it can restrict the
flow of oil sands bitumen through the
province.
Kinder Morgan announced on Sunday
that it was halting all non-essential work
on the $7.4-billion project, because the le-
gal uncertainty around it posed an unac-
ceptable risk to shareholders.
The company said it would move for-
ward only if it could be assured by May 31
that it will not face further legal challeng-
es, and if the government could remove
the financial risk to shareholders that the
political battle poses.
Mr. Morneau met with the Alberta Pre-
mier after Liberal ministers emerged from
a federal cabinet meeting on Tuesday to
proclaim the government would consider
all options – financial, legal and regulatory
– to get the project back on track.
“Our approach is to engage with prov-
inces to understand those risks; engage
with the project proponent to understand
what the financial hurdles are from their
standpoint, and get to an answer that en-
sures the project moves forward in a very
short timeline, meaning we can get on
with something we know is going to be
very positive for our economy,” the Fi-
nance Minister said.
Dayna Brons
signing his organ donor card as soon as
he turned 21. Since his death, his organs
have helped save up to six people, an ac-
count that has touched people across the
country and triggered an increase in regis-
trations of up to 2,000 per cent.
BC Transplant spokeswoman Tanya
Colledge said the agency had never seen
such a “tremendous increase” in such a
short period of time and noted that many
registrants mentioned Mr. Boulet by
name.
“His gift truly demonstrates the power
of registering your wishes and having a
conversation about organ donation with
your family,” Ms. Colledge said Wednes-
day.
“His legacy is not only in the donation
of his organs that saved the lives of sever-
troughs, dubbed T1 and T2, with highly re-
flective surfaces that are typical of bodies
of water hidden by ice.
“I wasn’t looking for lakes. We didn’t
think there was liquid water there at all,”
she said.
Ms. Rutishauser and colleagues later
worked out that a geological layer with salt-
bearing minerals discovered elsewhere on
Devon Island is likely to break the surface
at the point where the lakes are situated.
Contact between the salt and the bottom of
the ice cap may thus have produced a briny
slush or perhaps stretches of more open
salt water under an icy lid.
The radar data do not show how deep
the lakes may be or what volume of water
they contain.
The find, reported Wednesday in the
journal Science Advances, marks the first
time that subglacial lakes have been de-
tected in Canada. The unusual properties
of the lakes appear to make them unlike
any in the world.
While there are known to be about 400
lakes under the Antarctic ice sheet and a
handful more in Greenland, they are fresh-
water bodies kept fluid by pressure or fed
by meltwater from above. None are
thought to be as cold or as salty as the lakes
on Devon Island.
“This is big. We’ve got a little jewel here
now that’s going to attract a lot of attention
in terms of planetary science,” said Lyle
Whyte, a microbiologist at McGill Universi-
ty in Montreal who specializes in life under
extreme conditions and was not involved
in the discovery.
Dr. Whyte added that getting through
the 740-metre thick ice cap to sample
whether anything is living in the lakes
there would be “a major undertaking,” but
one that many scientists would be keen to
try.
He added the May 31 deadline “is a rea-
sonable one to work with.”
Ms. Notley went into the Toronto meet-
ing urging the Trudeau government to im-
pose penalties on British Columbia for its
tactics, and to offer some financial protec-
tion for Kinder Morgan shareholders
against political risk that could further dis-
rupt the project.
Ms. Notley also reiterated her govern-
ment’s willingness to diminish some of
the investor risk related to the project, and
put public dollars into it. “If it is B.C.’s in-
tent to exhaust Trans Mountain’s inves-
tors into submission, that strategy will not
work. Alberta is prepared to take a public
position in the company if it becomes nec-
essary,” she said.
“No matter how hard the B.C. govern-
ment may try, they cannot scare off our
government or our province.”
The Alberta government will introduce
legislation on Monday designed to put
pressure on B.C., including the right to cut
shipments of oil and gasoline, driving up
pump prices. The Trudeau government
appears reluctant to cut payments to B.C.,
due to the potential for political backlash
there. However, Mr. Morneau insisted no
option has been taken off the table.
After the meeting, Ms. Notley said she
was not absolutely satisfied with Ottawa’s
response but “a little bit more convinced
that we are going to see something specific
from them, in the relatively near future.”
al people, but also broader in how it’s
raising awareness among Canadians and
generating so many conversations.”
BC Transplant, which typically sees be-
tween 10 and 50 new online registrations
every day, has recorded more than 2,800
since Friday night – an average of 560 a
day. Transplant Manitoba recorded more
than 3,000 since Friday.
Ontario’s Trillium Gift of Life Network,
which records an average of 42 online reg-
istrations per day, has logged more than
1,500 since Friday. Tuesday alone saw 865
new registrations – a 1,959 per cent in-
crease over the network’s daily average.
Saskatchewan does not have an organ
donation registry, but rather encourages
those interested to affix an orange sticker
to their health cards.
Since Friday, the province’s transplant
program has received an “overwhelming
number of calls” from people wanting to
register their intent, said Luke Jackiw, di-
rector of hospital and specialized services
with Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Health.
“I want to acknowledge the heroic and
selfless actions of Logan Boulet in donat-
ing his organs and saving up to six lives
here in Saskatchewan,” Mr. Jackiw said
Wednesday. “I really commend both him
and his family for speaking out and shar-
ing their story.”
Mr. Jackiw and other representatives
from organ donation organizations noted
that the important thing prospective do-
nors can do is to inform loved ones of
their wishes.
“If you are ever in that situation where
you’re unable to speak for yourself, they
will be your voice,” he said. “Across Cana-
da, organ donation does not happen un-
less that consent is provided by the family
specifically.”
Life in the lakes would have to contend
with the absence of sunlight and a severe
shortage of organic carbon, Dr. Whyte said.
Any microbes surviving there would be
forced to derive their energy from chemical
reactions rather than photosynthesis.
“The bugs would have to be eating
rocks,” he said.
Bacteria have been discovered doing
similar things deep in the Earth and in oth-
er extreme locations such as hot springs
and deep sea vents. But no one has exam-
ined an environment quite like the one the
Devon Island lakes may present, which
would likely have several factors in com-
mon with watery locales elsewhere in the
solar system.
Mark Skidmore, a geologist at Montana
State University who was a collaborator on
the find, has previously been involved in
sampling subglacial lakes under the Ant-
arctic ice sheet using hot water drills. The
low temperature at the base of the Devon
Island glacier would likely require a mod-
ified version of the technology, he said.
“One potential solution would be to use
a highly saline solution as the drilling fluid,
so that it would not freeze in the borehole
during the drilling process,” he said.
Dr. Skidmore added that measures
could be taken to avoid contaminating the
lakes with bacteria from the surface.
Laying the groundwork for such an ef-
fort would be a multiyear undertaking.
Ms. Rutishauser said the next step will
come in May, when she and others will
head to Devon Island to gather more radar
data and better characterize the lakes.
As for what the lakes should be called,
“We have not thought about naming these
lakes, and I am not sure who would get to
name them,” Ms. Rutishauser said. “To me,
it would make sense to give them an Inuit
name.”
The British Columbia government re-
mains unbowed by the pressure on it from
Ottawa, Alberta and the business commu-
nity.
B.C. Attorney-General David Eby said
his government’s legal counsel is still
working on framing a question to put to
the courts to define the province’s ability
to restrict any increase in the transporta-
tion of diluted bitumen. The question is
expected to be released in the next few
weeks.
“What we are looking for is certainty
around this,” he told reporters Wednesday
in Victoria. “These things do take some
time to prepare, but we’re working as
quickly as we can because we do under-
stand the importance of having the ques-
tion, and the information, to the public as
well to the court as soon as we can.”
Mr. Eby said no decision has been made
yet on which court B.C. will choose to file
its reference question, and he said the
province could ask an open-ended ques-
tion inviting the courts to define the prov-
ince’s jurisdiction, or it could file a set of
draft regulations and seek the court’s
opinion.
“We are ensuring that we respect the
rule of law in determining the extent of
provincial jurisdiction,” he said. He main-
tained that provinces do have some pow-
ers of authority even in areas of federal
jurisdiction such as interprovincial pipe-
lines.

Livingston:
Bail granted
pending appeal
of conviction
FROM A1
His lawyer, Brian Gover, told re-
porters outside the court that he
was planning to seek bail for his
client pending an appeal of the
conviction. Mr. Livingston was re-
leased on bail later on Wednes-
day.
Mr. Livingston attempted to
“thwart the core values of ac-
countability and transparency”
that are essential to the proper
functioning of a parliamentary
democracy, Justice Lipson said.
“Mr Livingston’s plan was to deny
the public the right to know about
government decision-making
with regard to the gas-plant con-
troversy.”
But Justice Lipson also said
there were mitigating factors. He
described Mr. Livingston as a first
offender of previous good charac-
ter who has made an outstanding
contribution to the community,
both professionally through his
involvement with several charita-
ble groups and in his private life.
The offence was out of character,
Justice Lipson said, and Mr. Li-
vingston derived no personal
gain.
Prosecution lawyers had
sought a sentence of six to 12
months for Mr. Livingston at a
hearing in February. The former
career banker became chief of
staff to Mr. McGuinty in May, 2012,
and spent much of his nine
months in that role dealing with
the fallout over the government’s
decision to pull the plug on the
power plants before the 2011 pro-
vincial election.
Defence lawyers asked for a
conditional discharge, arguing
that the court of public opinion
has already harshly punished Mr.
Livingston. “His stellar reputa-
tion, which he built up over a life-
time, is now in tatters,” Mr. Gover
told the court in February.
Justice Lipson said in January
that Mr. Livingston deceived Peter
Wallace, secretary of cabinet at
the time, into granting him spe-
cial access to the computer hard
drives.
His ruling followed nearly four
weeks of testimony from 11 wit-
nesses for the Crown. He dismis-
sed the charges against Mr. Living-
ston’s co-accused, deputy chief of
staff Laura Miller, saying there is
no evidence that she was in-
volved in any conversations with
Mr. Wallace regarding her boss’s
request for special access to the
hard drives or that she “schemed”
with him on what information to
omit from the request.
However, Ms. Miller, did not
emerge totally unscathed. In de-
scribing Ms. Miller, 39, as a party
to the offences, Justice Lipson
said she was deeply involved in
crafting communications strate-
gies to address the cancelled pow-
er-plant projects. Justice Lipson
said Ms. Miller helped Mr. Living-
ston select the employees whose
hard drives would be wiped. But
he said he is left “in reasonable
doubt as to her guilt.”
Mr. Livingston and Ms. Miller
were initially accused of destroy-
ing e-mails and other govern-
ment records related to the can-
cellation of the power plants.
But prosecution lawyer Tom
Lemon asked the judge in No-
vember to drop breach-of-trust
charges against the two, saying
the Crown could not prove that
specific e-mails were deleted.
At the same time, lawyers for
Mr. Livingston and Ms. Miller
sought a directed verdict of ac-
quittal on two remaining charges:
mischief and unauthorized use of
a computer in connection with
the wiping of 20 hard drives. They
each pleaded not guilty and Jus-
tice Lipson reduced the mischief
charges against the two to at-
tempted mischief.
The trial centred on the hiring
of Peter Faist, a nongovernment
IT expert and the spouse of Ms.
Miller, to “wipe clean” the com-
puter hard drives just days before
Mr. McGuinty resigned in Febru-
ary, 2013.
Mr. Faist testified that he wiped
the hard drives before the transi-
tion from the McGuinty govern-
ment to Premier Kathleen
Wynne.
During pre-sentencing submis-
sions in February, the court heard
from more than two dozen peo-
ple who spoke on Mr. Livingston’s
behalf, including his spouse of 40
years, Anne Grittani. She de-
scribed her husband as a man of
integrity who enjoys looking after
his granddaughter.
Mr. Livingston also spoke pub-
licly for the first time during the
submissions, saying, “I apologize
to my friends and family for the
anguish I have put them
through.”

Shaw’s chief marketing officer to depart in May

Jim Little set to leave
telecom company
on same day as CFO
as firm continues its
restructuring efforts
CHRISTINE DOBBY
TELECOM REPORTER
Shaw Communications Inc.’s
chief marketing officer is leaving
the company, the second high-
profile executive departure in as
many months, as the telecom
company restructures while pre-
paring for the departure of a
quarter of its work force.
Calgary-based Shaw confirmed
to The Globe and Mail on Wednes-
day that Jim Little, who is also re-
sponsible for human resources,
will leave the company on May 4.
That’s the same day that chief
financial officer Vito Culmone is
set to depart.
Chief executive Brad Shaw and
president Jay Mehr announced
Mr. Little’s departure internally in
late March, about a month after
Shaw revealed that 3,300 employ-
ees accepted voluntary buyout of-
fers and will leave over the next
year and a half.
With Mr. Little leaving, Shaw
will decentralize marketing, shift-
ing responsibility for branding
and pricing strategy to its busi-
ness units. The company’s Free-
dom Mobile wireless division is
based in Toronto, while its cable
TV and internet operations are
based in Calgary and divided into
two units, consumer and enter-
prise.
“Like many of our industry
counterparts, we made a strategic
decision to embed marketing in
each of our three business units,”

He added that Dan Markou, se-
nior vice-president of people and
culture, will take over responsib-
ility for HR and said, “Concurrent-
ly, Jim made a personal decision
to retire.”
The company had only expect-
ed about 650 people, or 10 per
cent of those offered buyouts, to
accept the packages, which it an-
nounced in January as part of a
sweeping business overhaul that
includes cost-cutting and a new
approach to customer service
that emphasizes online and self-
serve support options.
However, a source close to
Shaw said the terms of the sever-
ance package were generous, giv-
ing employees an extra six
months’ pay on top of a sum for
each year of service. Shaw also
did not leave itself the option to
reject the applications of those
who chose to take the buyout,
saying it wanted to give employ-
ees control.
The company said it will record
a $450-million restructuring
charge in the second quarter of its
2018 fiscal year, while payments
to employees who have taken the
buyout will be spread over 18
months. In the longer term, it ex-
pects to save $225-million on an
annualized basis by 2020.
Shaw is set to report financial
results on Thursday for its second
fiscal quarter, the three months
ended Feb. 28. After striking an
agreement with Apple Inc. to sell
the iPhone – sales of the iconic
device start in December – analy-
sts expect Shaw’s Freedom Mo-
bile will post a large number of
new wireless subscribers, with
forecasts in the range of 45,000 to
50,000 in the period, compared
with an average of about 30,000
per quarter over the past couple
of years. But those new customers
could come at a cost, as Freedom
offered large subsidies on the ex-
pensive smartphone to win new
business, which means profit
margins at the business could be
down.
Mr. Little joined Shaw in 2012
after five years as chief brand and
communications officer at Royal
Bank of Canada and an earlier
stint at BCE Inc., where he over-
saw Bell Canada’s marketing
campaign with the well-known
beavers Gordon and Frank.
In an e-mail to employees an-
nouncing the departure, Mr.
Shaw and Mr. Mehr praised the
outgoing marketing executive’s
contributions, detailing the
launch of several products in-
cluding the company’s new
BlueSky television platform,
high-speed internet packages
and large wireless data packages
at Freedom Mobile.
“Jim has helped to build the
foundation of Shaw and has
played a significant role in en-
abling us to take this next step to-
wards a more agile, digital-by-de-
fault organization,” the two top
executives wrote.

as cost-cutting, digital tax
credit offset lower revenue
DAVID PADDON TORONTO
Postmedia Network Canada Corp. says its net loss for the
quarter ended Feb. 28 was reduced to $1.3-million, down from
$28.5-million a year earlier, despite a continued decline in rev-
enue at its newspaper operations.
The Toronto-based company, which owns the National
Post and numerous other paper and digital publications, says
the reduced loss was mainly due to its cost-reduction initia-
tives and a tax credit from the Ontario government.
Postmedia’s operating expenses were down 21 per cent or
$36.2-million, excluding certain items including restructur-
ing expenses, and it received $17-million from the Ontario in-
teractive digital media tax credit.
The net loss was worth 1 cent a
share, down from 28 cents a share Postmedia executive
a year earlier. Those positives off-

Digital revenue – which includes national and local display
advertising, classified advertising on Postmedia’s newspaper
and other websites such as canada.com and canoe.com, and
subscriptions – totalled $26.4-million in the quarter, up 10.1
per cent from the same time last year.
Shortly after the quarter ended, the Competition Bureau
obtained a warrant to search one of Postmedia’s offices as part
of an investigation into an asset swap with Torstar Corp., own-
er of the Toronto Star and other publications.
No charges have been laid and the allegations included in
the court documents have not been proven in court. Torstar
and Postmedia have said they do not believe they contra-
vened the Competition Act and they are co-operating.
Under the agreement announced by the two companies in
November, 41 newspapers changed hands and 36 were closed,
mainly in Ontario regions served by multiple publications.
Nearly 300 jobs were cut as a result.
Postmedia said on Wednesday that it had incurred $3.5-
million of severance costs over the six months ended Feb. 28,
mostly in its first quarter ended Nov. 30.

Bombardier Tesla eyes late 2019 start for Model Y

delivers five
C Series jets
in first quarter
as delays ease
ALLISON LAMPERT MONTREAL
VICTORIA BRYAN BERLIN
Canadian planemaker Bombar-
dier Inc. delivered five C Series
jets in the first quarter and is
making progress in tackling de-
lays separate from previously dis-
closed engine holdups in produc-
ing its flagship C Series jets, sourc-
es familiar with the matter said.
The delivery data and com-
ments from executives on pro-
gress come as Bombardier nears
regulatory approval for its
planned sale of the delayed C Se-
ries program to Europe’s Airbus
SE. But the Montreal-based com-
pany could still face snags in com-
ing months after delivering 17 C
Series in 2017, down from an ini-
tial target of 30 – a delay the
plane-and-train maker has previ-
ously attributed to delays at en-
gine supplier Pratt & Whitney.
Bombardier has not publicly
discussed separate delays stem-
ming from general challenges as
workers learn to make the 110-
to-130 seat jet more efficiently.
These include “quality issues” at
French interiors and seat maker
Zodiac Aerospace, three sources
familiar with the matter said,
echoing similar problems affect-
ing other planemakers.
Auto maker now accepting
preliminary bids for supplier
contacts on new vehicle line
ALEXANDRIA SAGE SAN FRANCISCO
Tesla Inc. is targeting November, 2019, as
the start of production for its Model Y
sport utility vehicle, with production in
China to begin two years later, two sources
told Reuters this week, shedding some
light on the electric-vehicle maker’s next
project that could tax its resources and ca-
pacity.
Reuters has learned the Silicon Valley
company led by chief executive Elon Musk
is accepting preliminary bids for supplier
contracts on the Model Y, a compact cross-
over companion to the Model 3 sedan. Tes-
la has given suppliers scant details about
the program and had not provided a pro-
duction time frame, but has now indicated
the vehicle would begin to be built at its
Fremont, Calif., plant in November of next
year, the two sources with knowledge of
the supply chain said.
Tesla declined to comment.
The new Model Y details show Tesla is
pushing ahead on plans to build a new ve-
hicle even as it struggles to produce the
Model 3, which launched last July. Despite
initially attracting about 500,000 advance
orders in the form of refundable deposits,
ICD NATIONAL CONFERENCE & FELLOWSHIP AWARDS GALA
Tesla has indicated that Model Y production
is set to begin at its California plant in
November, 2019. HANNAH MCKAY/REUTERS
the sedan’s launch has been plagued by de-
lays and manufacturing bottlenecks, post-
poning Tesla’s anticipated revenue stream
and exacerbating a cash crunch for the
money-losing company.
Earlier this month, Tesla tried to reas-
sure investors, saying its weekly Model 3
output had doubled during the first quar-
ter and that production rates would accel-
erate through the second quarter to 5,000
units a week, or about 250,000 vehicles a
year.
Competitive bidding is a crucial early
step in the complicated process of auto-
motive manufacturing. After the auto
maker discloses its plans, suppliers com-
pete based on factors including cost and
technology.
Tesla issued to suppliers what is known
2018
as a “request for information,” or RFI,
which gives a directional view of what will
be needed.
With a new car model, auto makers nor-
mally choose parts suppliers two to 2½
years before the start of production. At
about 1½ years away, a November, 2019,
start date for the Model Y would be consid-
ered “aggressive, but possible,” one of the
sources. A shorter timeline is potentially
feasible, the source said, as the Model Y
will be built on the same platform as the
Model 3.
The Model Y is just one of many projects
in the pipeline for Tesla, which also
launched a Tesla Semi and a new Roadster
in recent months. It is spending to build
out its Gigafactory battery factory in Neva-
da, where battery module assembly issues
have contributed to Model 3 delays, and al-
so expects to build a factory in China in the
near future.
Without giving a time frame, Mr. Musk
in February told analysts the company
would aim for production capacity of one
million Model Ys a year.
The two sources said suppliers could be
estimating an annual production of
500,000 vehicles in the United States, with
much lower volume in China, likely in the
tens of thousands.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

How Tim Hortons lost
its connection with Canadians
Parent company RBI has
been at war with chain’s
franchisees since 2014
and a new ranking of
brands shows the public
has been taking notice
SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS
OPINION
Professor in food distribution and
policy and dean of the faculty of
management, Dalhousie University
éger and National Public Re-
nies, closed out the top 10. Despite
bread-price collusion accusa-
tions, Sobeys moved up 10 places
and remained the most admired
grocer, while Subway was recog-
nized in the food service category.
But Tim Hortons’ year was just
plain awful. It went from No. 4 to
No. 50 in just 12 months. This sig-
nificant free fall can be linked to
the very public spat between Tim
Hortons franchisees and the Tim
Hortons parent company, Restau-
rant Brands International (RBI).
This dispute has taken its toll and
likely affected the reputation of
the iconic Canadian company.
RBI has been at war with Tim
Hortons franchisees since 2014
when the holding company was
not necessarily to the Canadian
public. This year’s Léger-National
rankings confirm that Canadians
have been keeping tabs.
But RBI’s profit-driven agenda
has started to work against it over
this past year. Rallies to raise
awareness of minimum-wage
campaigns made Tim Hortons a
public target right across the
country. To make matters worse,
reports surfaced suggesting that
in Ontario, where the minimum
wage increased by 22 per cent on
Jan. 1, some Tim Hortons employ-
ees had been asked to pay for uni-
forms and cut out breaks. While
other food chains were adapting
well, the rift between RBI and its
franchise owners in Ontario be-
see owns three outlets, the cost to
support RBI’s new redesign strat-
egy will be well more than $1-mil-
lion for a typical franchise owner.
With this new strategy, RBI’s
message to franchisees is quite
simply this: Pay up or leave. RBI’s
intent is clearly to renew its port-
folio of franchisees and deal with
operators who are more inclined
to buy into the parent company’s
philosophy. Not a great move on
its part, if reputation is a metric it
cares about as a company.
The Léger-National survey
looks at perceived financial stabil-
ity, corporate social responsibili-
ty, honesty, transparency, quality
and innovation. It may not mea-
sure how nationalistic ideals af-
Things are different now and Can-
adians can feel it. Franchisees
have known for a while that RBI’s
game is disconnected from Cana-
dian beliefs and that the company
is distanced from Canada and the
restaurant business. Since the RBI
takeover, the traditional uni-
forms, the successful Roll Up the
Rim to Win campaign and the wel-
coming, friendly smiles have all
been a façade. They hide the trou-
bling truth about the Tim Hortons
conversion. The recent Léger-Na-
tional survey confirms that the
chain’s transformation into a for-
eign company is now complete.
RBI, which also owns Burger
King and Popeyes, has its head of-
fice in Oakville, Ont., where Tim

L lations last week released

their annual report ranking
Canada’s most admired compa-
nies. While some results were in-
deed surprising, others were not.
Both Google and Shoppers
Drug Mart (owned by Loblaw)
ended up at the top of the overall
rankings, as well as the leaders in
their sectors. Google has been No.
1 for six years now. It was surpris-
ing to see that eighth-place Kel-
logg’s is the most respected food
company in Canada. Campbell
and Kraft, two other food compa-
created, and things have gotten
progressively worse. While fran-
chise owners – family businesses,
really – were committed to serv-
ing communities, RBI swooped in
with an efficiency-driven agenda.
Menu changes, royalty structure
modifications, higher costs of
supplies to operate outlets – all
were revised to serve RBI’s share-
holders, and it paid off. The share
price hit a record high last Octo-
ber of $85.
RBI’s ultimate commitment
has been to its shareholders and
came even more evident to the
public.
Now, sales are slumping, and as
a result, RBI shares have fallen to
about $70. RBI’s response is to in-
vest $700-million over the next
four years, including a change to
the interior design in all of its Tim
Hortons restaurants. But here’s
the catch: Most franchise owners
will be required to pay more than
$450,000 per outlet to support the
cost of renovation and create an
open-seating concept. Given that
the average Tim Hortons franchi-
fect Canadians’ perception of
companies at home, but this fac-
tor clearly skews results. In Tim
Hortons’ case, the brand itself is
inherently linked to our percep-
tion of how it honours Canadian
values. Canadian Tire, as an ex-
ample, remained third in the sur-
vey, arguably because the brand
itself is so entrenched with how
respondents perceive their own
country. It’s as simple as that.
What the survey is really telling
us is that Tim Hortons is no longer
seen as a Canadian company.
Hortons’ main operations used to
be located. Rumours are circulat-
ing that RBI will move to the Unit-
ed States to take advantage of a
more fiscally friendly environ-
ment created by new tax reforms.
It can be expected that most Can-
adians will not care much once
Tim Hortons moves south of the
border. In their hearts, Tim Hor-
tons is already a foreign company,
a switchover that is likely what
RBI wants.
The brand will survive, but
things will never be the same.

system, therefore, is unlikely to improve employment and ec-
onomic outcomes in Ontario.
Higher fertility rates are another potential benefit of such DILBERT
programs. Ontario’s fertility rate is about 1.5 per cent – below
the replacement rate of 2.1 per cent required for population
stability. A significant reduction in the cost of child care could
encourage higher fertility as mothers with preschool children
can afford to return to the labour market sooner. However, the
fact that child-care costs remain exorbitant for children below
24 months or over four years will limit this beneficial effect.
To move toward universal child care to benefit Ontarians
and help offset partially its fiscal cost, Ontario should offer af-
fordable child care to everyone starting at the time when ma-
ternity leaves end. As proposed by a C.D. Howe study, this can
be achieved by considering a generous non-refundable tax
credit for child-care expenses, regardless of age and type of
care arrangements, to better meet parents’ needs.

Cannabis: Hydropothecary expects Quebec to sell a gram of pot for between $7, $8
FROM B1
Sébastien St-Louis, chief execu-
tive officer, says the company
can produce 4,000 kg of canna-
bis annually today but that will
increase as it expands its produc-
tion facilities, rising to 25,000 kg
in mid-May and 108,000 kg by
December.
In the first 12 months, Hydro-
pothecary says it will supply
20,000 kg of mostly cannabis
flower and some oil products to
the Société des alcools du Qué-
bec (SAQ), the provincial retailer
of alcohol that will also oversee
cannabis sales. Quebec has also
signed supply agreements with
five other Canadian marijuana
growers for three-year terms, se-
curing a total of 56,000 kg in
product in the initial year that
will be sold online and in 20
stores.
But a spokesman for the SAQ
in Quebec noted that the govern-
ment doesn’t “have the contrac-
tual obligation to buy the quanti-
ties.”
“The quantities that have
been agreed on are what the pro-
ducers are making available to
us,” said Mathieu Gaudreault, a
spokesman for the SAQ. “We
have, in no way, a deal to buy
that amount. We can buy that
amount, but we haven’t bought
it yet. It will depend on demand.”
Hydropothecary says the SAQ
has already placed an order for
the first three months of sales for
63 different products, of which
80 per cent is in the form of dried
flower.
The company said that it will
generate weighted average sales
of $5.40 per gram from the con-
tract, minus the $1 per gram in
expected tax. It expects to lower
its all-in costs to produce a gram
Hydropothecary workers handle product at a company facility. The cannabis grower’s CEO says it can produce
4,000 kg of cannabis annually today but that will increase as it expands its production facilities, rising to
25,000 kg in mid-May and 108,000 kg by December.
of weed to about $2.
Mr. St-Louis said he thinks
other Canadian producers are
trying to be more aggressive with
their pricing, given that product
shortages are expected in the
early days of the legal program,
but Hydropothecary isn’t.
“We made a commitment to
the province of Quebec to say
that we’re going to supply and
we’re not going to play games
around trying to shorten or
squeeze our supply to raise our
prices,” Mr. St-Louis said Wednes-
day in a phone interview. “That’s
one of the reasons why we were
chosen as preferred supplier.
That’s why we have the longest
deal, that’s why we have the
largest deal because we came at
it from a position of trying to be
a partner.”
He’s expecting Quebec to sell
a gram of cannabis for between
$7 and $8 in order to compete
with the illicit market, which
analysts estimate to be worth
about $1.5-billion a year. He said
that Quebec is aiming to convert
35 per cent of the illegal sales to
legal ones in the first year, 45 per
cent in the second and 55 per
cent in the third.
Mr. St-Louis said that the
SAQ’s first-year agreement to
buy 20,000 kg is “guaranteed.”
But Mr. Gaudreault disagreed.
“This is a soft deal,” he said. “We
have the possibility to buy up to
20,000 kg from Hydropothecary.
In this commercial agreement,
we haven’t stated that we’re go-
ing to buy all that quantity. It’s a
possibility, but it’s not an obliga-
tion.”
In its news release, Hydro-
pothecary said it expects to sup-
ply the SAQ with 35,000 kg of
cannabis in the second year of
the program and 45,000 kg in the
third.
“Year two, if we get outsized
penetration of the black market,
maybe that number turns into
40 tonnes,” said Mr. St-Louis.
(1,000 kg is equal to 1 tonne.)
“If we get no penetration of
the black market and nothing is
moving off the shelves in year
two, then the government is not
obligated to buy that product. In
that sense, it’s not guaranteed. If
the future happens the way we
think it’ll happen, then the gov-
ernment is buying 35 tonnes.”
He said that the Quebec gov-
ernment is estimating that about
70 per cent of recreational can-
nabis sales in the province will
occur at one of its retail stores.
Mr. St-Louis believes online sales
will be a much bigger part of the
market than the 30 per cent that
Quebec is projecting.
Mr. St-Louis said Hydropoth-
ecary is working with Montreal
ad agency Sid Lee to create a new
brand for the recreational mar-
ket. He added that the company
is in talks with Bank of Montreal
and Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce for banking and cap-
ital markets.
Also on Wednesday, the Li-
quor Control Board of Ontario
(LCBO) clarified the process for
growers seeking to supply the
province with cannabis and can-
nabis accessories.
In what it describes as “an
open and transparent procure-
ment process,” Ontario said that
it expects to request product
submissions twice a year. The
province says the term of its
agreements with suppliers will
be for two years and can possibly
be extended for two more years.
Applications for the first round
are due May 2.
The LCBO also said that the
first Ontario Cannabis Store loca-
tions will be in Guelph, Kingston,
Toronto and Thunder Bay.

Analysts: Pot sector striving for acceptance by sophisticated long-term investors

FROM B1
And if investors sat on the side-
lines, they missed out on gains of
55 per cent for Aphria over the
next month.
The same analyst then
changed his tune. In January, he
upgraded his recommendation to
“speculative buy” – let’s just call
that a “buy” recommendation −
and boosted his target price by a
whopping $9 a share. Unfortu-
nately, the share price didn’t play
along with the upgrade: It has
since slumped 52 per cent.
While this is a particularly
egregious example, it is not an
uncommon one.
The Globe looked at 26 analyst
recommendations by five broker-
ages for six marijuana stocks,
which is a wide sample of the
overall coverage of the marijuana
sector. We graded the results
based on whether the calls made
money, lost money, missed rallies
or avoided declines.
Nearly half of the calls (12 of 26)
received letter grades of C or low-
er, meaning that the call either
lost money or missed rallies. This
dismal performance implies that
analyst recommendations aren’t
providing much assistance: In-
vestors could simply flip a coin.
Canada’s marijuana sector is
striving for acceptance by sophis-
ticated long-term investors, and
coverage by financial analysts is a
step toward respectability. Apart
from Cormark, the sector has at-
tracted analysis by Beacon Securi-
ties, Echelon Wealth Partners,
GMP Securities and Canaccord
Genuity.
This week, BMO Nesbitt Burns
became the first bank-owned bro-
kerage to begin covering the mar-
ijuana sector.
However, given the sector’s
short track-record, the federal
government’s new regulations for
marijuana use and the fact that
companies are not yet generating
meaningful profits, typical valua-
tions don’t apply.
This may explain why analyst
target prices and recommenda-
tions jump all over the place.
Last week, Beacon Securities
upgraded its recommendation on
Canopy Growth Corp. to “buy”
from “hold” – and bumped up its
target price on the stock by 50 per
cent. The analyst’s new-found en-
thusiasm is based on his recent
tour of Canopy’s B.C. greenhous-
es, which the analyst believes will
generate 150,000 kg of cannabis in
2020, after recreational marijua-
na use is legalized.
“Canopy is the go-to name for
investors in the sector today,” the
analyst said in a note. “We are al-
ready seeing the company benefit
from a ‘flight to quality’ during
the recent shakeout, and we be-
lieve the current pullback repre-
sents a good entry point.”
But his new price target is
based largely on sales volume and
marijuana pricing two to five
years away – a scenario that is vul-
nerable to changes as marijuana
producers battle for market share
in the years ahead.
Perhaps this is why the Beacon
analyst has already shifted his
opinion on Canopy since starting
his coverage in December, 2016.
His initial “buy” recommenda-
tion worked out well for anyone
who followed it: The share price
doubled within a year.
His shift to a “hold” recom-
mendation in November, 2017,
didn’t work out though: Anyone
who followed this new line of rea-
soning, and didn’t buy the stock,
missed out on a subsequent 40-
per-cent gain. And since the ana-
lyst shifted back to a “buy” recom-
mendation last week, the share
price has fallen 3 per cent.
To be sure, some analysts’ calls
have been more successful.
GMP’s recommendations for
Canopy, Aurora Cannabis Inc.
and MedReleaf Corp. resulted in
four As, a D and a C, according to
our scoring, which stands out
from the others. His “buy” recom-
mendations preceded gains rang-
ing from 65 per cent to 300 per
cent, although his “hold” recom-
mendations have not been suc-
cessful because they missed sub-
sequent rallies.
And Canaccord’s recommen-
dations on Aurora have been
downright superb. The analyst
recommended the stock as a
“buy” in February, 2016. After the
stock had rallied more than 400
per cent, he downgraded his rec-
ommendation to “hold” in
March, 2018 – potentially saving
investors from a 30-per-cent de-
cline if they didn’t buy the stock.
But, given the overall inaccura-
cy of recommendations, it is near-
ly impossible for investors to
know which opinion to follow, on
which stock, and when.
Compounding the problem is
the fact that the marijuana sector
is prone to large shifts in investor
sentiment. Day-trading is ram-
pant, reflected in tremendous
trading volumes, and this is con-
tributing to volatility in the sec-
tor. The big rallies and selloffs can
sometimes leave analysts’ calls
looking antiquated.
Canaccord started covering
MariCann Group Inc. in July, 2017,
with a “speculative buy” recom-
mendation when the shares trad-
ed at $1.41. The analyst hasn’t
changed that view, and the shares
have since risen 7 per cent, which
is good enough for a B in our scor-
ing.
But this only tells part of the
story. The analyst reiterated his
“buy” recommendation in Janu-
ary, when the shares traded at
$3.88. Anyone who bought at this
peak has endured a 60-per-cent
decline in the share price.
Canaccord’s coverage of Cano-
py has been troubled as well. The
analyst began with a “hold” rec-
ommendation in March, 2017,
when Canopy shares traded at
just $11.30. But after several “hold”
reiterations since then – and a
brief “sell” recommendation –
the shares have risen 135 per cent.
Anyone who followed this opin-
ion lost out.
Perhaps the analyst feels some
pressure to turn bullish on Cano-
py now that the stock has risen so
much. Be careful if he does.

Parkinson: Canada had competitiveness RCMP: Force’s priorities had

issues well before U.S. tax package came along
FROM B1
Federal Finance Minister Bill Mor-
neau signalled earlier this year
that his government would turn
to addressing Canada’s business
competitiveness challenges – a
response to the deep U.S. corpo-
rate tax cuts that essentially
wiped out Canada’s competitive
tax advantage. The government is
spending the next few months
studying the impact of the U.S.
tax reforms and formulating a
plan to give Canadian business a
lift.
But Canada had competitive-
ness issues well before the U.S. tax
package came along; further cuts
to Canada’s corporate tax rate, on
top of the nine made by previous
federal governments since the
start of this century, almost cer-
tainly won’t be this government’s
solution.
Rather, it is more likely to de-
velop a range of measures that
will take aim at the broader ques-
tions surrounding Canada’s busi-
ness competitiveness. We can ex-
pect it to unveil its plan in the fi-
nal quarter of the year, to get the
policies rolling well before it pre-
pares its campaign budget next
spring.
In the grander scheme, com-
petitiveness boils down to an
economy’s ability to attract and
retain investment.
That’s what gives it the capac-
ity to expand its potential, to im-
prove productivity, to prosper –
all the things this government
has preached from its economic
pulpit since it took office.
At the foundation of this ca-
pacity to compete for investment
is a legal and regulatory system
that provides a degree of certain-
ty to investors – a system that
minimizes their risk through pre-
dictable and timely due process.
Everything else you can offer to
attract and retain investment
must have this framework sup-
porting it.
If Trans Mountain fails, the
government’s credibility –
with foreign investors, with
domestic business, with
voters – will be in tatters.
That’s why the Trans Mountain
battle matters so much. It is a
highly visible public challenge to
that framework. And it involves a
project that has the ability to
make or break growth in what is
perhaps Canada’s most promi-
nent global industry.
What’s more, the Trudeau gov-
ernment has loudly and unequiv-
ocally committed to getting the
project done. In doing so, it has
raised the stakes. If Trans Moun-
tain fails, the government’s cred-
ibility – with foreign investors,
with domestic business, with vot-
ers – will be in tatters. Trans
Mountain will stand as a global
beacon warning of just how bro-
ken Canada’s investment climate
has become.
Will that be fair? Of course not.
Canada offers business investors
much more than a single high-
profile project can reflect. Things
such as a highly skilled labour
force, a strong and stable finan-
cial system, access to U.S. and
global export markets, quality
public health care, clean and safe
cities, well-developed transporta-
tion and telecommunications
networks – all factors that matter
to businesses when deciding
where to invest. They’re all areas
where Canada does better than
most – and areas this government
has shown a desire to build upon
and improve.
But fair has nothing to do with
it. Without securing Trans Moun-
tain, any pro-competitiveness
initiatives will pale in compari-
son to one massive, credibility-
crushing failure. The Liberals will
head into an election year not as
the government charting the
path for Canada’s economic fu-
ture, but as the one that isn’t
open for business when it matters
most.
shifted to border security,
terrorism investigations
FROM B1
The Globe investigation, which analyzed up to 30 years of se-
curities offences at 13 financial regulators across the country,
looking for trends embedded in the numbers, found that one
in nine people accused of capital-markets offences are a re-
peat offender. The data also indicated many of these offend-
ers move from province to province to evade regulators.
“Exactly the types of things that you have done, and taking
it a bit further, would be some of the areas we want to get
into,” said Gordon Aristotle, the officer in charge of the
RCMP’s financial crime operations. “It hasn’t been some-
thing that we’ve been strong in, but perhaps we need to be a
bit stronger in those areas of market surveillance.”
The RCMP revamped its white-collar crime investigations
at the turn of the century with the creation of Integrated Mar-
ket Enforcement Teams (IMETs), which drew upon outside
expertise from accounting to securities experts. However,
the IMET system was designed to go after the biggest securi-
ties cases, and ran into problems when it struggled to land
convictions. Eventually, resources and focus within the force
shifted to other priorities such as border security and terror-
ism investigations.
Chief Supt. Doran said the force now wants to change the
way it uses specialized expertise in its investigations by
bringing those people into the process sooner.
“We’ve traditionally used, for instance, forensic account-
ants to look at the data after we’ve conducted a search. Give
them a couple of banker’s boxes and say, ‘Can you go through
this?’ ” Chief Supt. Doran said.
“But really what we haven’t been very good at is using that
same forensic accountant to come interview somebody with
us – to come sit down with us and talk to the bad guys … So
together we’ll be able unpack a very complex story in a way
that makes sense.”
Chief Supt. Doran said the new strategy will take time.
“There’s always going to be issues,” he said. “So where there
are gaping holes, can we plug them?”

Volkswagen overhaul to see
labour get a management seat
Getting workers onside
aimed at smoothing
the way for CEO’s
restructuring plans
ANDREAS CREMER BERLIN
JAN SCHWARTZ HAMBURG
Volkswagen AG will give workers
a management board seat to try
to secure agreement for a far-re-
aching reform of the company
under a new chief executive,
sources familiar with the matter
said on Wednesday.
Europe’s biggest auto maker
has, particularly since its 2015
emissions scandal, been looking
to become more focused and effi-
cient by, for example, spinning off
its trucks business, creating a pre-
mium cars unit or selling motor-
bike brand Ducati.
But CEO Matthias Mueller’s at-
tempts at reform have often been
thwarted by turf wars among the
German company’s powerful
stakeholders, and opposition
from its labour leaders.
Two sources familiar with the
matter had said Volkswagen’s su-
pervisory board was poised to re-
place Mr. Mueller, a 64-year-old
company veteran, with Herbert
Diess, the 59-year-old head of its
VW brand who joined from BMW
in 2015 with a reputation for driv-
ing change.
On Wednesday, four sources
close to the company told Reuters
the supervisory board would seek
to bring works council executive
Gunnar Kilian onto the manage-
ment board to try to secure back-
ing for Mr. Diess and his plans.
Mr. Kilian, who works under la-
bour boss Bernd Osterloh, will re-
place personnel chief Karlheinz
Blessing, the sources said, giving
workers representatives a direct
say on strategy and cost cutting.
Volkswagen and the works
council declined to comment.

to meet on Friday, where Mr. Diess
will outline a new leadership
structure, two sources said.
Volkswagen could look to split
into four sections – a mass-mar-
ket car maker including its VW,
Seat and Skoda brands; a premi-
um business consisting of Ben-
tley and Audi; a sports car group
including Porsche, Bugatti and
Lamborghini; and a commercial
vehicle and trucks arm. The po-
tential restructuring was first re-
ported by Der Spiegel.
Such an overhaul would be
part of a wider auto industry
trend toward spinoffs as compa-
nies look for ways to become nim-
bler and more efficient to cope
with changes, such as electric ve-
hicles and autonomous driving.
German rival Daimler, for ex-
ample, is looking at splitting parts
of its business into separate enti-
ties, while autos supplier Conti-
nental is weighing up a revamp
that could entail listing or spin-
ning off divisions.
Friday’s supervisory board
meeting is expected to start prep-
arations for a stock market listing
of the trucks and bus division,
sources have said.

bus business could have a market

have said. That compares with

capitalization of around €85-bil-

“Diess will hold both positions,
CEO of the company and the VW
brand,” one of the sources said,
speaking on conditional of ano-
nymity.
That would give him a sweep-
ing mandate to review broader
changes to the way the group is
managed.
However, Ingo Speich, a fund
manager at Union Investment
which holds 0.6 per cent of Volks-
wagen preference shares, worried
that running a group with about
640,000 employees at over 120
plants worldwide could prove
tough for Mr. Diess, who has a rep-
utation for micromanagement.
“The range of tasks at group
level with its many brands, legal
risks and political influence
makes the new assignment in-
comparably more complex.”
Mr. Speich also signalled there
was no guarantee that reforms
would become easier to push
through. “The unions will try to
firm up their power with the new
leadership structure,” he added.

U.S. consumer prices drop,
but core inflation firming
LUCIA MUTIKANI WASHINGTON
U.S. consumer prices fell for the first time in 10 months in
March, weighed down by a decline in the cost of gasoline
but underlying inflation continued to firm amid rising pric-
es for health-care and rental accommodation.
The drop in the headline monthly inflation reading re-
ported by the Labour Department on Wednesday is likely
temporary as producer prices increased solidly in March.
In addition, the tightening labour market is expected to
start generating significant wage inflation in the second half
of the year. As such, many economists believe the U.S. Fed-
eral Reserve will raise interest rates three more times this
year.
The U.S. central bank increased borrowing costs last
month and forecast at least two additional rate hikes in 2018.
“U.S. inflation is warming up rather than heating up,”
said Sal Guatieri, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets
in Toronto. “Still, the upward
trend could suffice to nudge the
Fed three more times this year.”
The Consumer Price Index The tightening
slipped 0.1 per cent last month,
the first and largest drop since labour market is
May, 2017, after climbing 0.2 per expected to start

partment said.

In the 12 months through
March, the CPI increased 2.4 per inflation in the
cent. That was the largest annual second half of the
gain in a year and followed Feb- year.
ruary’s 2.2-per-cent increase.
Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the
CPI climbed 0.2 per cent, matching February’s increase.
The so-called core CPI rose 2.1 per cent year on year in
March, the largest advance since February, 2017, after in-
creasing 1.8 per cent in February. The annual core CPI also
accelerated as the drag from last year’s plunge in prices for
cellphone service plans dropped out of the calculation.
The core CPI is now well above the 1.8-per-cent annual
average increase over the past 10 years.
The Fed tracks a different index, the Personal Consump-
tion Expenditures price index (PCE) excluding food and en-
ergy, which has consistently run below the central bank’s
2-per-cent target since mid-2012. Last year’s low prices for
cellphone service plans are also expected to fall out of the
calculation for March PCE price index data, which are sched-
uled for release on April 30.
This factor was also highlighted in minutes of the Fed’s
March 20-21 policy meeting, published on Wednesday.
According to the minutes, “several participants noted
that the 12-month PCE price inflation rate would likely shift
upward when the March data are released because the ef-
fects of the outsized decline in the prices of cell phone ser-
vice plans in March of last year will drop out of that calcula-
tion.”

Ruble plunges as Russia girds for ‘economic war’

NATASHA DOFF
KSENIA GALOUCHKO
The rout of the ruble triggered by
the most punitive U.S. penalties
yet deepened after U.S. President
Donald Trump warned Russia to
“get ready” for American missiles
in Syria, where Vladimir Putin is
committed to defending govern-
ment forces.
The pledged strikes over an al-
leged chemical attack in Syria and
the latest round of U.S. sanctions
rattled markets in Moscow, send-
ing Russia’s currency to a 16-
month low and yields on local
debt to the highest level of the
year.
“Russia vows to shoot down
any and all missiles fired at Syria,”
Mr. Trump said in a tweet Wednes-
day. “Get ready Russia, because
they will be coming, nice and new
and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be
partners with a Gas Killing Ani-
mal who kills his people and en-
joys it!”
The penalties the Trump ad-
ministration imposed on Friday
hit billionaire Oleg Deripaska’s
metals giant United Co. Rusal the
hardest, driving one of the coun-
try’s largest employers out of the
dollar economy and Russian alu-
minum out of key exchanges.
That left investors guessing who
or what may be targeted next and
Russia girding for “economic war”
even before Mr. Trump’s threat.
“The sanctions aren’t just in-
creasing, they’re turning into a
tool of real economic war,” Rus-
sian Prime Minister Dmitry Med-
vedev told parliament earlier on
Wednesday. “We will take all mea-
sures needed to stabilize the sit-
uation.”
The volatility prompted the
central bank to halt foreign-cur-
rency purchases under a budget
rule aimed at insulating the econ-
omy from swings in oil, Russia’s
main export. The Russian Finance
Ministry cancelled its weekly
bond auction for the first time
since the 2015 collapse in crude
prices. Auctions will resume
when the market stabilizes, the
ministry said in a statement late
on Tuesday.
Fuelling the uncertainty is a bill
proposed in U.S. Congress last
week that would ban the pur-
chase of Russian government
debt, even though the U.S. Treasu-
ry has recommended not pursu-
ing the so-called nuclear option
because it would be too damaging
to U.S. investors. Foreigners held
about 34 per cent of Russia’s sov-
ereign ruble bonds before the sell-
off, a record share.
“All Russian companies could
potentially be at risk, and the im-
pact could be quite substantial,”
said Stephane Monier, chief in-
vestment officer at Bank Lom-
bard Odier & Co Ltd. in Geneva.
“This represents a material risk
for bondholders.”
The ruble slumped 2.7 per cent
to 64.705 a dollar at 2:08 p.m. in
Moscow. The yield on 10-year ru-
ble bonds was up eight basis
points at 7.67 per cent. The cost of
insuring Russian dollar debt
against default jumped seven ba-
sis points to 156, the highest since
August.
Russian stocks have been the
lone bright spot since the Moex
Russia Index’s 8.4-per-cent
plunge on Monday. The measure
climbed 0.8 per cent on Wednes-
day, paring an earlier jump of as
much as 2.7 per cent, as the weak-
er ruble boosted the profit out-
look for exporters.
Still, the possibility of the Unit-
ed States inflicting more financial
pain over what the U.S. Treasury
refers to as Mr. Putin’s “malign ac-
tivity” around the world will con-
tinue to breed uncertainty, ac-
cording to Prague-based Wood &
Co. “Investors should approach
the Russian market with much
more caution and be prepared for
a lot of volatility in the next few
days and weeks,” Wood analysts
led by Ildar Davletshin said in a
note.
Adding to investor concerns is
the unpredictability of the White
House in Washington. Mr. Trump
is intensifying preparations for a
U.S. response to an alleged chem-
ical weapons attack in Syria,
where Russian and Iranian forces
are fighting a civil war on behalf of
President Bashar Al-Assad. Mr.
Trump earlier suggested that Mr.
Putin may share responsibility
with Mr. al-Assad for a chemical
attack that Russia denies ever
happened.
The latest U.S. penalties are no-
tably worse than earlier sanctions
over the conflict in Ukraine be-
cause they specifically bar any
trading of securities of targeted
companies rather than just block-
ing their access to new interna-
tional fundraising. The iShares JP
Morgan EM Local Government
Bond ETF, of which Russia is a ma-
jor component, suffered its big-
gest outflow since October on
Tuesday.
“The market was caught off
guard, with many funds over-
weight Russian stocks, bonds and
currencies,” said Morgan Harting,
a portfolio manager at Alliance-
Bernstein LP in New York. “It may
be that keeping the rationale
vague is part of the U.S. strategy –
leaving investors more uncertain
about what comes next and more
apprehensive about doing busi-
ness in Russia.”

Federal Reserve predicts a strengthening economy

Central bank sees

but quarterly forecasts

would firm further and that infla-

The readout of the meeting, at
which the Fed unanimously vot-

showed that policy makers were
wary about the impact of the

Zuckerberg’s oddly robotic per-
formance before congressional
inquisitors spawned a new genre
of Twitter humour, but also went
some way toward reassuring Wall
Street that his company would
be able to navigate its latest scan-
dal without lasting damage.
Now attention turns to a more
mundane question: Is Facebook
stock a buy?
The social network’s shares
have fallen 14 per cent from their
high earlier this year because of
the Cambridge Analytica scan-
dal, in which data on millions of
Facebook users were shared
without their knowledge. But af-
ter the Zuckerbot’s carefully

He argues in a blog post that
fair value for a Facebook share is
now US$181, well above the
US$167 range it was trading
around on Wednesday.
Despite that cheery estimate,
Prof. Damodaran is no cheerlead-
er for the company. He assumes
the Federal Trade Commission
will fine Facebook US$1-billion.
He also figures U.S. legislators
will impose costly new data re-
strictions that will force Face-
book to hire more people and
substantially reduce its operating
margins.
Prof. Damodaran acknowledg-
es that the recent scandal has
scared off some Facebook users.

There are also increasing
worries about the
monopoly clout wielded
by many tech titans,
from Facebook to

Even with all those downbeat
inputs, his calculations still show
Facebook shares to be a tempting

most advertisers will stay put.
If you have a different view, he
has a spreadsheet on his website
that allows you to alter his valua-
tion model to reflect your own
beliefs. Spend a few minutes with
that spreadsheet and you begin
to realize how tremendously
measured response envisioned
by Prof. Damodaran.
In the United States, online
services have sheltered for years
under the protection of Section
230 of the Communications and
Decency Act, a piece of 1996 legis-
lation that exempts them from
liability for just about anything
their users choose to do.
The law reflects a belief that
online services are simply pas-
sive conveyors of information,
much like phone companies. Just
as a phone company isn’t re-
sponsible for the racial slurs your
father-in-law delivers when he
calls you up to complain about
the state of the world, an online
company is not liable for the
opinions expressed by its users.
In the wake of Cambridge

every reason to crack down. The
European Union’s General Data
Protection Regulation, to take ef-
fect next month, strengthens pri-
vacy protection. It could well be
the first in a series of blows
aimed at the tech giants, ranging
from higher taxes to the imposi-
tion of a fiduciary standard that
would make information gather-
ers responsible for any misuse of
user information.
It’s impossible to predict the
pace or scale of such measures.
For now, Prof. Damodaran’s
model makes a compelling case
for buying into Facebook. But
don’t overlook the risks involved.

out of Western markets.
The reaction has already been severe:
prices are up more than 10 per cent and
the world’s biggest metals exchange will
stop accepting new Rusal supplies.
The market has been roiled because
Rusal accounts for 6 per cent of global out-
put of the metal – more than Iran’s share
of the oil market. Users outside China are
particularly reliant on Rusal. Metal sup-
plied by billionaire Oleg Deripaska’s firm
is estimated to make up a third of invento-
ries on the London Metal Exchange.
“We can’t make it without Rusal,” said
Colin Hamilton, head of metals at BMO
Capital Markets Ltd. “We need Rusal mate-
rial.”
Glencore PLC declared force majeure
on about 50,000 tonnes of contracts that
specify the metal should be of Russian ori-
gin, according to people familiar with the
matter who asked not to be identified be-
cause the matter is confidential.
There’s still some uncertainty over
what will happen to Rusal and its metal,
and the Russian government is said to be
working on a plan to support the compa-
ny.
That could help its supplies reach West-

ANALYSIS
Bloomberg Gadfly columnist covering

arket strategists are suddenly
Since the U.S. blacklisted aluminum company Rusal, the largest producer of the metal
outside China has lost more than half its value in Hong Kong. ANDREY RUDAKOV/BLOOMBERG
Wednesday said there were no plans for
the government to buy a stake in Rusal.
Since the United States blacklisted Ru-
sal on April 6, the largest producer of the
metal outside China has lost more than
half its value in Hong Kong.
International trading houses have stop-
ped buying from the company and the
LME on Tuesday said aluminum made by
Rusal after April 6 can’t be used to settle
futures contracts on the exchange.
CME Group Inc.’s Comex also said it
won’t allow deliveries of Rusal material.
“The LME suspension of fresh Rusal
production certainly makes it far less ap-

strategist at ING Bank NV. “It definitely
adds to the theory that this is a real loss of

That will further tighten the market
outside China, which was already in a def-
icit, said Mr. Nugent, adding that prices
will need to rise to a level that encourages
aluminum exports from China.

performance has just about run
its course, according to Quebec’s
biggest independent fund man-
ager, which predicts a 13-per-cent
rally by year-end.
Fiera Capital Corp., with $129-
billion in assets under manage-
ment, sees the S&P/TSX Compos-
ite Index hitting 17,300 by the end
of 2018 as global growth finally
gives the resource-heavy bench-
mark a kick. That’s up from an
earlier forecast of 16,900 at the be-
ginning of the year and Tuesday’s
close of 15,262.
“The TSX has not been this
cheap versus the S&P 500 since
the depths of the financial crisis,”
said Candice Bangsund, vice-
president and portfolio manager
of global asset allocation at Fiera.
“When you take that in the con-
text of robust global growth, ac-
celerating earnings expectations
and firm commodity prices, this
argues for a nice reversal and a
period of catch-up for the TSX,
particularly as some of those lin-
gering headline risks fade.”
Canada is the second worst
performing stock market in the
developed world this year after
Switzerland, according to data
compiled by Bloomberg. It’s
down 5.8 per cent versus a decline
of less than 1 per cent for the S&P
500 Index. But Ms. Bangsund sees
that changing as Canadian corpo-
rate earnings grow 15 per cent this
year, slightly ahead of consensus
and beating expected 10-per-cent
growth in the United States.
“Market sentiment remains
extremely fragile” as investors
obsess about every development
in the U.S.-China trade spat, but

M calling stocks something they

haven’t for a long, long time:
cheap.
The perceived bargain is most likely a
big reason for the market’s recent re-
bound. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
was up nearly 500 points on Monday and
Tuesday. The S&P 500 Index is up nearly 1.5
per cent this week.
It may seem like an odd time to be
championing stocks as inexpensive.
Yes, the market, the past two days not-
withstanding, has been down in general
lately.
Still, while the S&P 500 is no longer at a
record high, it’s not far from it, off less than
250 points, or 10 per cent, from the peak of
has been in a while, is better earnings and
the expectation that they are going to get
even better.
The best encapsulation of that is the so-
called PEG ratio, which compares the for-
ward price-to-earnings ratio, based on the
next 12 months of expected profits, to the
expected growth rate of those profits,
again for the next 12 months. The PEG ratio
has been used on Wall Street for a while.
Peter Lynch, the Fidelity mutual fund
manager, was the most famous proponent
of the gauge’s ability to determine value.
Generally, a PEG ratio of 1 is the dividing
line between cheap and expensive. The
S&P 500’s current PEG ratio, even after the
recent rally, is 0.62. That’s the lowest it has
both the numerator and the denominator.
There’s a lot of guesswork built into that
number. And Wall Street’s profit predic-
tions often don’t work out.
Second, while the forward P/E of the
market has fallen, to 16.5 from 18.1 a year
ago, the real drop in the PEG ratio comes
from a huge increase in the expected earn-
ings growth of the S&P 500 for the next
year.
Profits are predicted to rise 27 per cent
from the second quarter of this year to
mid-2019.
But a lot of that growth isn’t sustainable.
Much of it is coming from the tax cut.
BLOOMBERG NEWS
any progress on the North Amer-
ican free-trade agreement nego-
tiations and strong first-quarter
earnings could see markets re-
sume their climb, Ms. Bangsund
said. “The earnings season could
be a huge potential catalyst to get
the markets refocusing their at-
tention on fundamentals.”
Canadian stocks should bene-
fit more than most as a rotation
from growth to value boosts fi-
nancials and resources, which to-
gether make up two-thirds of the
benchmark, she said.

THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018 | THE GLOBE AND MAIL . O
Investor darling Brazil
is back on the ropes
The jailing of former
president and election
front-runner Lula
has sunk markets
PAULA SAMBO
ALINE OYAMADA
razil investors hoping the
B jailing of former president
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
would add fuel to a rally have
been sorely disappointed.
The arrest of the front-runner
in election polls all but eliminat-
ed the possibility Lula returns to
the presidency in the October
general elections, easing concern
he would upend efforts to over-
haul the economy. But the cele-
bration in markets lasted less
than a day. Since Lula’s arrest
warrant was issued on Thursday
afternoon, the real and stocks
have lagged behind global peers.
Brazilian markets had already
been underperforming, with the
real weakening more than 4 per
cent in the past month while an
index of emerging-market cur-
rencies lost around 0.2 per cent.
The Ibovespa stock benchmark,
which earlier this year was hitting
fresh records almost daily, has
dropped more than 7 per cent in
U.S.-dollar terms in the span, one
of the world’s worst performanc-
es.
With Lula out of the picture,
the election is wide open. There
are at least a dozen potential can-
didates, whose policy proposals
vary widely or are completely un-
known. The field could still
change amid widespread corrup-
tion allegations.
“There is no use in only taking
Lula out, with that cancer that
Brasilia is,” said Bernardo Ro-
darte, a money manager at Sita
Corretora, which has 1.5 billion
reais ($439-million) under man-

THE SCREEN
This week, I use Morningstar

a relatively small market capital-
ization that have shown good
profits and a history of stable
earnings. To find these compa-
nies, I first rank the stocks in the
S&P SmallCap 600 Index by the
following factors:
Latest reported net profit
margin (latest four quarters of
earnings per share expressed as a
percentage of revenue over the
same period, higher figures pre-

After the release of “mixed” sec-
ond-quarter financial results on
Tuesday, the spotlight remains on
EXFO Inc.’s integration of its ac-
quisition of a 97-per-cent stake in
Astellia, RBC Dominion Securities

to incorporate the impact from
France-based Astellia, Mr. Arthur
lowered his 2018 EBITDA projec-

agement. “They arrested Lula,
but nothing was solved. The out-
look for the elections is still very
bleak.”
Conservative Jair Bolsonaro,
who leads polls excluding Lula,
has enlisted a radical privatiza-
tion proponent as his top eco-
nomic adviser. On the left, Ciro
Gomes – who has said he would
tax the rich and undo govern-
ment spending caps – is the only
candidate that polls above 5 per
cent. The middle ground, pro-re-
form group includes Henrique
Meirelles, the market’s dream Fi-
nance Minister, former Sao Paulo
governor Geraldo Alckmin and
even President Michel Temer. All
are struggling to gain ground.
While the external mood
hasn’t helped Brazilian assets,
with sell-offs being sparked by
global trade-war fears and Russia
concerns, much of the weakness
can also be attributed to domes-
tic drivers, according to Mauricio
Oreng, a senior strategist at Rabo-
bank in Brazil. Investors may be
starting to worry more about the

To qualify, companies must be
ranked in the top 25 per cent of
the S&P SmallCap 600 based on
the above factors. In addition,
companies must have a debt-to-

While some still think it will all
work out in the end – Moody’s In-
vestors Service raised its outlook
on Brazil’s sovereign debt to sta-
ble on Monday, saying whoever
wins October’s elections will pass
fiscal reforms – some are begin-
ning to raise alarms about the
election not going investors’ way.
Political risk consulting firm
Eurasia Group, which has be-
come a key reference for Brazil
investors since it was one of the
few that correctly predicted Dil-
ma Rousseff would be re-elected
in 2014, isn’t so confident a re-
formist will win. The wide-open
election comes as a consequence
of broad popular rejection to any-
one who looks like a traditional
candidate, Eurasia co-founder
Ian Bremmer wrote in a note to
clients.
While “most elites” apparently
think voters will move toward a
more traditional candidate like
Alckmin, there’s too much con-
troversy around his team to make
him a strong bidder, he wrote.

Markets summary
CANADIAN STOCKS
Canada’s main stock index was little changed on Wednesday
as higher commodity prices, due to geopolitical concerns,
boosted the shares of energy and materials companies, off-
setting a decline in the heavily weighted financials sector.
The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index
unofficially closed down 4.24 points, or 0.03 per cent, to
15,257.9.
In corporate news, Cineplex shed 0.71 per cent. The Toron-
to-based movie exhibitor chain says it is laying off less than
100 full-time workers.
U.S. STOCKS
U.S. stocks added to losses after the release of minutes from
the Federal Open Market Committee showed some concern
that rising inflation might require a faster pace of interest rate
hikes than anticipated.
Members of the Federal Reserve voted unanimously to
raise borrowing costs by a quarter percentage point and ex-
pressed confidence that the economy would strengthen and
inflation would rise in coming months. After the FOMC min-
utes were released, all three major Wall Street indexes moved
lower, indicating investor concerns about rising interest rates.
Industrial distributor Fastenal fell 6.4 per cent after its
earnings missed expectations. The stock was the biggest de-
cliner on the S&P, followed by peer WW Grainger’s 4.2 per cent
drop.
COMMODITIES
Oil prices jumped, hitting their highest in more than three
years on Wednesday after Saudi Arabia said it intercepted
missiles over Riyadh and U.S. President Donald Trump
warned Russia of imminent military action in Syria.
Both U.S. crude and global benchmark Brent traded at the
highest levels since 2014 as geopolitical concerns overshad-
owed a surprise build in U.S. crude inventories.
Gold rose for a fourth day as concerns over escalating ten-
sions in Syria, U.S. sanctions on Russia and the U.S.-China
trade stand-off weighed on stock markets and helped to
knock the U.S. dollar index to a two-week low.
FOREX AND BONDS
The Canadian dollar strengthened to a seven-week high
against its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday as rising geopolit-
ical tensions boosted the price of oil to its highest level in
more than three years.
The U.S. dollar slipped against the Japanese yen as uncer-
tainty over possible Western military action against Syria fed
risk aversion even as fears of a trade war between the United
States and China faded.
Canadian government bond prices were lower across the
yield curve, with the two-year down 10 cents to yield 1.853 per
cent and the 10-year falling 46 cents to yield 2.201 per cent.
U.S. Treasury yields declined on escalating geopolitical
tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump warned Russia of

It’s a thin line between smug and hate for Boston and Toronto

OPINION traprovincial postseason rage
rolling.
In a town-hall meeting with
TORONTO ticket holders, Melnyk said the
Toronto Maple Leafs would be
“blown out” by the Boston Bruins
in the first round of the NHL play-
offs.
“Just watch,” Melnyk said, ac-
cording to a reporter who was
there.
Fifteen years ago, they’d have
closed the Ontario border so that
the rioting could be conducted in
an orderly fashion.
But since the Senators have re-
a hobo art collective staging a
happening titled Misery avec Ice,
their jabs have lost some pop.
Toronto’s rejoinder amounted
to something along the lines of,
“I’m sorry, you’re who again?”
It’s a bit sad, really. It speaks to
the dull state of affairs when it
comes to our national hockey ri-
valries.
If a Canadian taxpayer can no
longer find him or herself capable
of hating the seat of government,
the place where they steal your
money and turn it into useless ser-
vices like health care and child bene-
fits, then I just don’t know.
It’s no better elsewhere.
back after they reopen the Bell
Centre. What? It’s been open all
year? Why didn’t anyone say any-
thing?
Calgary-Vancouver? Unless
they promise to beat other with
pieces of an actual pipeline, I
would rather not.
Winnipeg-Edmonton? Is it a
windchill contest? Because that’s
the only way it’d be competitive.
We like to talk about these
things in military terms – the Bat-
tle of Alberta; the Battle of Onta-
rio; the Battle of this and that.
But it is hard to recall the part
of the Peloponnesian War when
the Spartans got really bad at
trying to move up the war draft
and get some high-ceiling, young
chariots.
I mean, the Sedin brothers re-
tired and everyone got all choked
up over what wonderful guys
they are, but not one mention
was made of the fact that they’ve
been making several million dol-
lars per annum these past few
years playing for a junior high-
school team. That doesn’t seem
right in our social democracy.
But this is how bad it’s got –
people feel sorry for Vancouver.
No, no, not you, Alberta. Stop
yelling. We hear you.

Kelly: Smug
cities deserve
each other
FROM B13
We can’t solve everyone’s prob-
lems (not for this current salary),
but we can do some work on To-
ronto’s behalf.
For a few reasons, it is time for
the city to begin hating Boston
most of all. Oddly, these two
clubs do not share much history.
But forget Montreal, Ottawa or
any other sad sack from the past.
Toronto’s changed. We have an
actual mayor now, one who
comes to work and everything.
Since we’ve grown up, it’s time
for a grown-up rival.
First, Boston works because
hate is the flip side of love. That’s
what they say (usually about
someone you hate).
And Toronto and Boston share
a powerful love – of themselves.
Not even New York can ap-
proach these two hopped-up sec-
ond cities in terms of self-regard.
Boston’s been insufferable ever
since being poor and missing just
the one tooth became cool. But
even before that, it had Harvard
and a ton of people from Co.
Cork (the worst).
In Toronto, we pretended to be
modest and self-effacing until
Drake released a tsunami of local
self-satisfaction.
Sure, we have our problems,
but, really, we are the very, very
best. The UN said so (if you dis-
regard all of Scandinavia and big
chunks of Australia).
Ask anyone standing north of
Lake Ontario on a Bixi bike.
They’ll tell you. Bring a chair.
You’re going to be there a while.
It’s going to be awful and include
a long digression on where to get
really authentic pho.
Two cities this smug deserve
each other, especially now that
their sports luck is going in oppo-
site directions.
Second, Ace Bailey.
He’s been gone a long while
and there aren’t a dozen people
in the city who could pick his
face out of a crowd, but the pain?
It lingers.
As best I recall the story, this
perfectly innocent Toronto Ma-
ple Leaf was out for a night stroll
on the New England wharf when
a gang of ruffians threw him in
the harbour during an argument
over taxes, ending Bailey’s career.
They called that atrocity the
Boston Tea Party, and it started
the Civil War.
Or something like that. It’s got
confused in the retelling.
Anyway, we owe them.
And, third, once the Leafs pick
a new-ish enemy people can find
some way to care about, they can
then stop being their own.
This week, a CBC/Toronto Star
investigation noted that only 96
tickets were released to the gen-
eral public for next Monday’s
Game 3 against Boston, the first
one at Air Canada Centre.
If it were any other business,
the tagline here would be ‘local
concern provides desired ser-
vice; does well financially as a re-
sult.’
But in Toronto, it’s proof that
the Leafs have lost touch with
the Common Man. (They actual-
ly did this decades ago, when it
turned out the Common Man
had other things that needed
buying, such as groceries.)
The question was put to Mike
Babcock, who’s as common as
they come. He’s from Sasky. He
hunts. He makes more money
than the CEO of Imperial Oil.
“I’m the coach, so I don’t
know a whole lot about this,”
Babcock said. He started to an-
swer, then thought better of it
(“I’m not going there.”) and then
thought better of that (“I know
there will be great bars and res-
taurants in this area that will
have unbelievable TVs and you
get to be closer to the ice.”).
Okay, exactly how “unbeliev-
able” are these TVs?
It’s this sort of thing that
makes the Leafs their own love/
hate proposition. They are a ra-
pacious corporation, but if you
live in these parts, they’re your
rapacious corporation (that you
cannot go to see unless you have
bags of money).
How do you reconcile yourself
to that? Find a rival that’s worse.
Eugene Melnyk
Hainsey and Rielly are all set
for a match-game challenge
Maple Leafs’ No. 1
defensive pair has been
preparing for a tricky
mission – shutting
down top Bruins line
DAVID SHOALTS BRIGHTON, MASS.
on Hainsey thinks trying to
R defend against the Boston
Bruins’ top line of Brad Mar-
chand, Patrice Bergeron and Da-
vid Pastrnak is like an endless
game of Whack-A-Mole. And just
about as much fun.
“I don’t know where they’re
going a lot of the time and it
makes it very, very challenging,”
said Hainsey, who will see a lot of
that line as part of the Toronto
Maple Leafs’ top defence pair
with Morgan Rielly, starting
Thursday night in Boston when
their first-round NHL playoff se-
ries begins.
The way Hainsey sees it, they
are constantly popping up in
open spaces, ready to take a blind
pass from one of the others and
bury a one-timer. The constant
motion works well enough that
all three Bruins hit 30 goals this
season. Pastrnak, by far the
youngest member of the trio at 21,
led the way with 35 while Mar-
chand, 29, had 34 and Bergeron,
32, scored 30.
“What I struggle with them is
they know where each other is
without looking,” Hainsey said.
“They have these automatic plays
where Bergeron and Pastrnak, es-
pecially on that side, the right,
you think they might do one
thing and it’s a no-look pass to
one of them for a one-timer and
it can end up in your net in a hur-
ry.
“They’re really, really danger-
ous with that. You can’t predict
exactly what with them.”
Hainsey’s concerns were put to
Marchand after the Bruins fin-
ished practising on Wednesday
afternoon. He considered the
Leaf defenceman’s run to the
Stanley Cup last season when he
was with the Pittsburgh Penguins
and his stint with the Leafs this
season, in which they went 3-1
against the Bruins.
“It doesn’t seem like Ron’s had
a tough time shutting us down
the last couple years,” Marchand
said. “I think he’s got it figured
out.”
In the four games between the
Leafs and Bruins this season, per-
haps. In those games, the Bruins
line was held to a total of six goals
and five assists. The Leafs could
also throw in the fact they were
missing Auston Matthews for
three of those games.
However, in keeping with the
NHL axiom that regular-season
records must be tossed out the
window for the playoffs, there is
Andersen is ironing out the wrinkles
KYLE CICERELLA
oronto’s Frederik Andersen
T carried one of the heaviest
workloads of any goal-
tender in the regular season.
He still wants extra ice time to
prepare for the Maple Leafs’ first-
round playoff matchup with Bos-
ton.
“I guess I’m a bit of a perfec-
tionist, small things in details,”
said Andersen, who will square
off against Tuukka Rask and the
Bruins in Game 1 on Thursday in
Boston.
The 28-year-old finished first
in shots faced (2,211), second in
starts (66) and third in minutes
played (3,888:31). But he says en-
ergy isn’t an issue, and that the
best way to prepare for the
Bruins is to keep ironing out the
wrinkles with more reps along-
side goaltender coach Steve
Briere.
“We work on everything that’s
important,” Andersen said.
“Steve’s always working and do-
ing his homework. He’s really
good at looking at what you
could possibly be facing in the
playoffs and shots with screens
and heavy traffic is one of those
[situations].”
Andersen had large stretches
of strong play in 2017-18, showing
the potential to steal games
when he went 9-2-1 with a 2.14
goals-against average, .938 save
percentage and two shutouts in
the month of November. He
went on to set a team record for
wins in a single season with 38,
and believes success comes

no question Leafs head coach
Mike Babcock has a plan for the
three Bruins.
“They’re elite players any way
you look at it,” Babcock said on
Wednesday. “Bergeron is real
good in the faceoff circle, they all
work real hard and compete real
hard.
“Marchand and Bergeron are
elite penalty killers so they know
how to play the game without the
puck and for the longest part of
the year they hardly got scored
on.”
While Babcock is not strictly a
match-up coach, one who is will-
ing to disrupt his team’s rhythm
by changing on the fly in away
games to get the line match-ups
he wants, he does like to put one
unit against another when he can
without too much trouble. But it
is not clear just how he will ap-
proach the Bergeron line.
The only certainty is Hainsey
and Rielly will be on the ice as
much as possible against them.
With the forward lines, Babcock
has the luxury of assigning the
Bergeron line to his shutdown
unit of Nazem Kadri, Patrick Mar-
leau and Mitch Marner. He could
also restore noted pest Leo Ko-
marov to Kadri’s line in place of
Marner. And there is the chance
Matthews and his wingers Zach
Hyman and William Nylander
will play opposite Bergeron and
company.
What is interesting about this
is Bruins head coach Bruce Cassi-
dy is not a match-up guy. When
someone asked him what would
down to composure as much as
the extra ice sessions.
Especially in the playoffs,
when a goalie can be the differ-
ence in advancing or going
home.
“You have to try and manage
[pressure] because everyone’s so
excited,” Andersen said.
“It’s important to be even keel
and focus on what I focus on. As
a player, you have adrenalin go-
ing and you can maybe play off
that, make a big hit or some-
thing. But you can’t do that as a
goalie. I have to be focused for
the brand-new situation. That’s
how I look at it, a save or a goal
against you want to be the same
state of mind.”
Forward Nazem Kadri says
Andersen’s calmness helps play-
ers if they make a mistake in
front of the net.

lose the match-ups then, right?”
Kidding aside, Cassidy allowed
he plans to use his home-ice ad-
vantage of last change in the first
two games of the series to put the
Bergeron line against Matthews’s
line. But only up to a point.
“I think they will see Matthews
and Nylander,” Cassidy said. “Will
it be a marriage so to speak? We
have generally not chased the
game for match-ups. Of course
it’s playoff time; if we feel we

THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018 | THE GLOBE AND MAIL . O
Jets win their first-ever
playoff game
ROY
MacGREGOR
OPINION
WINNIPEG
Patrik Laine confessed he had “no idea
what to expect.”
How could he? The teenage superstar of
the Winnipeg Jets – 44 goals in the regular
season – is only in his second year with the
NHL club.
Last year, the Jets, as usual, missed the
postseason entirely.
In fact, since relocating here in 2011 –
they were previously the Atlanta Thrash-
ers – they have only played once in the
Stanley Cup playoffs. They have not only
never won a series, they have never won a
game.
All that changed on Wednesday night
when the Jets came from behind to claim a
3-2 victory on a late goal from journeyman
defenceman Joe Morrow.
In that 2015 faceplant, the Jets were
swept four straight by the Anaheim Ducks.
This night they began their second-ever
postseason play, up against the same
coach, Bruce Boudreau, who led the Ducks
to such an easy sweep. This time Boudreau
would be coming to Bell MTS Place as
coach of the Minnesota Wild.
That would be the same Wild that has
now reached the postseason six straight
years.
You would expect that would mean
something.
And yet, the Jets entered the game the
prohibitive favourites, tagged by every ex-
pert with a byline or a blog to win the series
and move on, for the very first time, to a
second round.
“You’d have to be blind not to see it,”
Boudreau said of the predictions, “espe-
cially with Canadian TV everywhere.”
Boudreau could not resist a touch of sar-
casm: “We’re glad we’re invited to play, so
we’ll give it our best shot.”
The Wild would do so, however, without
one of the league’s top defencemen, Ryan
Suter, out for the season with a broken
right ankle.
“He’s the type of guy you’re going to
miss,” conceded Winnipeg head coach
Paul Maurice, “but that doesn’t necessarily
have an effect on the team game.”
Maurice’s Jets came out, as team captain
Blake Wheeler said they would, “fast,” out-
shooting the Wild 13-4 in the opening peri-
od. And yet the Wild defence, even without
Suter, was impenetrable. Goaltender De-
van Dubnyk mostly dealt with harmless
long shots.
If the young Finn, Laine, seemed rather
absent in the early going it may well have
been because he was in shock. The Winni-
peg fans, almost exclusively dressed in
“Whiteout” clothing, face paint and fright
wigs, belted out the anthem with gusto,
saving the loudest explosion for the words
“TRUE NORTH!” in honour of the group
that brought the NHL back to town.
Boudreau said he was grateful to have
coached the Ducks during Winnipeg’s only
other playoff, as it allowed him to “pre-
pare” for the often-overwhelming enthusi-
asm of Winnipeg fans.
That excitement began to wane some-

Hawks always believed the most mea-
ningful way to pay tribute to their shat-
tered rival would come from getting back
on the ice and playing.
Playing for the Saskatchewan Junior
Hockey League’s Canalta Cup, for the fam-
ilies and friends in mourning and for a
province shaken to its soul. As the Hawks’
Doug Johnson saw it, there was a need for
normalcy that included lining up for
Game 1 of the Nipawin-Estevan Bruins
championship final.
“We honour the players by going to
their services, but we have to honour
them in another way by making sure
whoever comes out of Saskatchewan goes
as far as possible,” Johnson said, acknowl-
edging that there is still the ANAVET Cup,
which awaits the eventual SJHL winner,
and the RBC Cup, which is the national
Junior A championship. “[We have] to
keep this season and the Humboldt Bron-
cos alive in some way.”
In the aftermath of the Humboldt bus

shock has given way to anguish. Talking
about playing hockey again seemed pre-
mature, even disrespectful for some. They
felt it was too soon; the first Bronco has
yet to have his memorial service.
But on Wednesday, the president and
governors of the SJHL held a conference
call to discuss what should be done. The
decision was unanimous: The Nipawin-
Estevan best-of-seven series will be
played, starting in Nipawin and likely on
Saturday.

Late Ronaldo penalty keeps Real alive
Two-time defending
champion squad
thwarts Juventus to
advance to Champions
League semi-final
TALES AZZONI MADRID
Just when it looked as though Ju-
ventus would pull off another
stunning Champions League
comeback, Cristiano Ronaldo
stepped up once again.
Ronaldo converted a penalty
kick deep into injury time to
send Real Madrid through to the
semi-final for the eighth straight
season despite a 3-1 home loss to
Juventus on Wednesday. The
goal was enough to give the two-
time defending champion a 4-3
aggregate win and avoid nerve-
racking extra time after the Ital-
ian side had erased a seemingly
insurmountable deficit from the
first leg.
“It was a match in which we
suffered,” Ronaldo said. “It
shows that nothing is a given in
football, you have to fight until
the end. We didn’t play well, we
have to admit. But in the end we
deserved to advance.”
In the night’s other quarter-fi-
nal, Bayern Munich reached its
sixth Champions League semi-fi-
nal in seven seasons with a 0-0
draw against Sevilla in their sec-
ond leg.
The Bavarian powerhouse,
which clinched its sixth consec-
utive Bundesliga title on Satur-
day, progressed to the final four
of Europe’s premier competition
thanks to its 2-1 win in the first
leg in Spain.
Bayern will face one of Liver-
pool, Roma or Real Madrid in the
semi-final.
A day after seeing Spanish ri-
val Barcelona blow a three-goal
advantage against Roma in Italy,
Madrid nearly did the same. But
Juventus’ heroics came up just
short after substitute Lucas Vaz-
quez appeared to be pushed
from behind inside the area in
the third and final minute of
stoppage time.
Veteran Juventus goalkeeper
Gianluigi Buffon, in what was
likely his last Champions League
game, was then sent off for fu-
riously complaining after the
penalty decision. The Madrid
crowd at Santiago Bernabeu Sta-
dium gave Buffon a standing
ovation as he left the field.
“Life goes on,” Buffon said.
“I’m happy and proud of how we
played, we made the impossible
possible. It’s a shame it ends like
this.”
Ronaldo scored an injury-time
penalty for Madrid to progress
despite a 3-1 defeat to Juventus,
with a 4-3 aggregate score.

FIFA seeks $25-billion deal for new tournaments
GRAHAM DUNBAR
ROB HARRIS GENEVA
FIFA is planning to team up with
Saudi Arabian, Chinese and
American investors in a US$25-
billion, 12-year deal that could
add two major international tour-
naments to an already crowded
soccer calendar.
With preparations for this
year’s World Cup in Russia reac-
hing a climax, FIFA president
Gianni Infantino is looking to
launch an expanded 24-team
Club World Cup – played every
four years starting in 2021 – and a
separate global competition for
national teams every two years.
FIFA would have a 51-per-cent
stake in the joint venture, with
the investors underwriting guar-
anteed revenue of at least US$25-
billion, people with knowledge of
the plans told The Associated
Press on Tuesday. They spoke on
condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to dis-
cuss the confidential talks publi-
cly.
The Club World Cup is current-
ly a seven-team event played each
December and usually won by a
European club. The Champions
League winner joins the five oth-
er continental club champions
and the host country’s league
champion. FIFA’s financial report
says the 2017 edition in Abu Dhabi
earned US$37-million.
A revamped Club World Cup
would kill off the mostly unpop-
ular Confederations Cup, current-
ly a warm-up tournament for the
following year’s World Cup host
country.

as the Nations League, would re-
place the Confederations Cup as

The new competitions could
secure long-term revenue for
many of the 211 FIFA member fed-
erations who rely on its financial
support. It also would provide a
strong platform for Infantino to
run for re-election next year.
Still, the project is far from cer-
tain to succeed and is likely to
face a hostile reception in Europe,
which hosts the world’s biggest
stars and most popular club com-
petitions.
FIFA has put pressure on soc-
cer’s continental governing bod-
ies for a quick decision.
Infantino said at a FIFA Council
meeting in Colombia last month

declined to identify – citing a
non-disclosure agreement – was

UEFA, ON FIFA’S PLAN
“As Gianni Infantino did not
provide any concrete details on
what such an offer would entail
and which entity would have
been behind it, we have no com-
ment to make on the topic,” UEFA
said in a statement.
UEFA already organizes the
globally popular Champions
League and any rival club compe-
tition could be a threat to its
broadcast sales worldwide. The
FIFA proposal also uses the Glob-
al Nations League format, which
Turin last week, when Ronaldo
scored with a spectacular bicycle
kick for his second goal of the
match.
That deficit made Wednes-
day’s return leg seem like an im-
possible task for Juventus, but it
got off to the perfect start when
Mario Mandzukic opened the
scoring with a header two min-
utes into the match. He added to
the lead with another header be-
fore halftime, and Blaise Matuidi
scored the third early in the sec-
ond half after a blunder by Ma-
drid goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
But Ronaldo, in his 150th
Champions League appearance,
then netted his 120th goal in the
competition by converting the
penalty with a firm shot into the
top corner. He celebrated by tak-
ing off his shirt and running to-
ward the euphoric Madrid
crowd.
Ronaldo has scored 21 goals in
his past 11 matches in all compe-
UEFA developed and revealed last
October.
Wealthy and influential groups
of European clubs and leagues
have both resisted FIFA’s ambi-
tion in recent weeks.
“It is not about adding compe-
tition in this moment,” Juventus
president Andrea Agnelli said
two weeks ago at a meeting of the
230-member European Club As-
sociation, which he leads.
FIFA proposes an expanded 24-
team club tournament, with at
least 12 from Europe, starting in
June or July, 2021.
FIFA’s partnership with inves-
tors would guarantee US$12-bil-
lion in revenue from the Club
World Cup – US$3-billion for each
of four editions from 2021-33, peo-
ple who had been briefed on the
project told the AP. They said FI-
FA would decide where the tour-
nament would be played, which
would not necessarily be in China
or Saudi Arabia.
FIFA is likely to explore broad-
casting deals with video stream-
ing services and could bypass tra-
ditional television networks that
hold World Cup rights.
Revenue of US$2-billion is pro-
jected for each of six editions
from 2023-33, and US$1-billion for
a first competition in 2021 when
UEFA is committed to the second
edition of its own version.
FIFA is looking to win over
clubs seeking to protect players
from a packed international cal-
endar, insisting the 2021-33 plan
involves fewer games: a Club
World Cup every four years in-
stead of annually, ending the
Confederations Cup, and a Na-
tions League played on existing
dates set aside for tournament
qualifiers and friendlies.

The penalty came as Vazquez
was in position to score in front
of the goal after Ronaldo headed
down a cross into the area. Ju-
ventus players stormed toward
English referee Michael Oliver,
who apparently had help from
his behind-the-goal assistant to
make the call.
The penalty was taken eight
minutes into stoppage time as it
took a while for Oliver to clear
the Juventus players who were
protesting against the decision.
Juventus coach Massimiliano
Allegri said he had a brief en-

didn’t play because of a suspen-

B18 COMMONWEALTH GAMES O THE GLOBE AND MAIL . | THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018

Cameroon
competitors
go missing
NICK MULVENNEY
GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA

Organizers have urged athletes in

Australia for the Commonwealth
Games to respect the terms of
their entry visas after Cameroon
reported that a third of their
team had gone missing on
Wednesday.
The accreditation to major
multisports Games acts as a
short-term visa to the host coun-
try and more than 100 athletes
overstayed after the 2000 Sydney
Olympics.
Commonwealth Games orga-
nizing committee chairman Peter
Beattie said they had worked
hard with the Australian govern-
ment on the entry system and he
“encouraged” the 6,000 visiting
athletes and officials not to
breach the terms of their visas.
“I would simply say enjoy Aus-
tralia while you are here. This in-
cludes Cameroon and any other
athletes. Stay within the law and
be mindful of the fact that there
is a system in place in this coun-
try,” he told a news conference on
Wednesday.
“We would appreciate them
sticking within the law, enjoying
themselves, but sticking within
the law. If they are thinking of do-
ing anything other, I would en-
courage them not to do it.”
The Cameroon team reported
to Queensland Police that five
boxers and three weightlifters
had gone missing from the ath-
letes village in three waves from
Sunday to Wednesday.
“The Cameroon Common-
wealth Games Team is sad to an-
nounce that eight of the 24 ath-
letes they took to … Gold Coast …
are missing from their respective
rooms in the Games village,” the
team later said in a statement.
Queensland Police said it was a
“matter for the Cameroon Com-
monwealth Games Association to
address” until such point that the
athletes overstayed their visas.
The fact that two of the Cam-
eroonian athletes had failed to
take part in their events particu-
larly saddened Commonwealth
Games Federation chief David
Grevemberg.
“I think it’s disappointing that
athletes that have come didn’t
compete as they were scheduled
to compete,” he said.
“[But] I think it’s important to
remember that these athletes are
guests, and within their visas
they have the right to travel free-
ly, but this is obviously an issue
that Team Cameroon is monitor-
ing very closely.”
Illegal immigration is a highly
contentious political issue in
Australia and Peter Dutton, the
country’s Home Affairs Minister,
issued a warning to athletes in Ja-
nuary that they would be deport-
ed if they overstayed.
“It happens at every Games
and it’s not a surprise,” Beattie
added. “There are mechanisms in
place and they haven’t breached
their visas. If there is a breach,
then Peter Dutton and his depart-
ment will deal with it.”

think the feel on the team is we can get
back to that at any moment. So we’ll be
trying to find that form.”
The Canadians finished eighth over all
on the World Series last season, hoisting
the trophy in Singapore for the first Cup
win in their 140th event on the circuit.
But this season has been challenging to
date.
Last weekend in Hong Kong, Canada
lost to eventual runner-up Kenya, Austra-
lia and Spain to drop into the consolation
Challenge Trophy bracket. The Canadians
beat South Korea and Russia before fall-
ing to France in the Challenge Trophy fi-
nal to finish 10th.
Canada was fourth at the Cape Town
stop of the World Series, with an impres-
sive victory over Fiji before losing to
South Africa in the bronze-medal game.
But the Canadians were 11th in Dubai, 13th
in Sydney, 11th in Hamilton, 10th in Las
Vegas and 14th in Vancouver before Hong
Kong.
The Canadians currently stand 11th in
the overall standings. No. 1 South Africa,
No. 2 Fiji, No. 3 New Zealand, No. 5 Austra-
lia, No. 7 Kenya, No. 8 England, No. 9 Scot-
land, No. 12 Samoa, No. 14 Wales, No. 16
Papua New Guinea and No. 17 Uganda are
also competing at the Gold Coast Games.
Despite recent results, Canada has
shown it can beat anyone on the circuit if
CANADA WINS BRONZE IN BOXING,
WITH MORE MEDALS TO COME
GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA Canadian boxer
Marie-Jeanne Parent lost her semi-final on
Wednesday, but will leave the Common-
wealth Games with a bronze medal.
And Canada will earn five more medals
in the boxing ring, with only the colour to
be decided.
Parent lost a 4-1 decision to England’s
Sandy Ryan in the 69-kilogram division.
The 22-year-old from Quebec City was
the last athlete named to the team, sum-
moned a little more than a month before
the games when Mandy Bujold withdrew.
Also Wednesday, Caroline Veyre of
Montreal was stopped by Nigeria’s Ye-
tunde Odunuga in the 60-kg quarter-final.
The losses were the first for Canada at
the boxing meet.
In the last fight of the night, Montreal’s
Harley-David O’Reilly won by walkover
over Cameroon’s Ulrich Rodrigue Yombo
in the men’s 81-kg quarter-final.
He will be joined in the semi-final by
Sabrina Aubin of St-Jean, Que., (57 kg),
Montreal’s Tammara Thibeault (75 kg), Eric
Basran of Vancouver (56 kg) and Thomas
Blumenfeld of Montreal (64 kg).

it puts its game together.
“It’s not just saying that, it’s a real be-
lief in the squad,” said Hirayama, who is
tied for the World Series scoring lead this
season with 241 points and stands fifth on
the all-time scoring list with 1,371 points.
The rugby sevens competition runs Fri-
day through Sunday at Robina Stadium,
home of the NRL’s Gold Coast Titans. Can-
ada is in Pool C with New Zealand, Kenya
and Zambia.
The congested schedule combined
with Canada’s lack of depth means coach
Damian McGrath’s team will likely be at a
disadvantage at the games. Other teams
have rotated their roster to arrive fresh
here.
And unlike the World Series, where the
top two in each pool move on to the Cup
quarter-final, only the pool winners ad-
vance to the semi-final here.
The Canadian men’s best finish at the
games was sixth in 1998. They were ninth
four years ago in Glasgow.
Hirayama has had his own bounce
back from a nasty staph infection that
forced him to spend part of his 30th birth-
day in hospital. The native of Richmond,
B.C., just finished a round of antibiotics
and says he is back to full health.
The Canadians have weapons. Justin
Douglas is a dangerous strike runner. And
CFL speedster Tevaughn Campbell, while
still raw in rugby, has speed to burn. Cap-
tain John Moonlight is a physical force
while Hirayama and Harry Jones add vet-
eran smarts. After the games, the Cana-
dian men leave for Singapore to defend
their title at the April 28-29 tournament.
Campbell will then rejoin the Montreal
Alouettes for training camp.
The Canadian women have a similarly
gruelling month, with World Series stops
in Japan (April 21-22) and Langford, B.C.,
(May 12-13) following the Commonwealth
Games. Coach John Tait’s team, Olympic
bronze medalists in Rio, is in a pool with
New Zealand, South Africa and Kenya.
With just two groups on the women’s
side, the top two teams from each ad-
vance to the semi-final.
The Gold Coast marks the sixth men’s
rugby sevens competition at the Com-
monwealth Games and the first for the
women.
It’s the third Games for Hirayama.
“I love the Commonwealth Games,” he
said. “All the boys are really excited to be
here. It’s a lot different than what we’re
used to, being a part of a bigger Team
Canada, but hopefully it’s something real-
ly special.”

Canadian divers rebound from ‘really shaky start’

NEIL DAVIDSON
GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA
After a rocky start to the Com-
monwealth Games diving com-
petition on Wednesday, Canada
stepped up to the medal podi-
um.
Flag-bearer Meaghan Benfeito
and teenage partner Caeli McKay
steadied the ship with a silver
medal in the women’s 10-metre
synchronized event after a
botched dive dropped Jennifer
Abel and Melissa Citrini-Beau-
lieu out of medal contention in
the three-metre synchro final.
“We had a really shaky start, as
you might have noticed,” said
Mitch Geller, Diving Canada’s
chief technical officer. “That was
a real hard one and a bit of a
shock for all of us.
“But we also know that there
are no guarantees in this sport,
that’s for sure.”
Abel and Citrini-Beaulieu had
won silver in the same event at
the 2017 FINA World Champion-
ships last summer in Budapest.
And they led after three dives on
Wednesday.
But it fell apart on the fourth,
when Abel lost position on a for-
ward 31⁄2 somersault dive from
the pike position, the duo’s most
difficult dive of the day. The 26-
year-old from Laval, Que., all but
jackknifed into the pool, with
her hands just beating her feet to
the water.
“A big technical mistake,” said
Abel, who won the event in 2010
and took silver in 2014, albeit
with a different partner.
Rubbing salt into the wound,
technical delays meant the duo
had to sit poolside for what
seemed like an eternity before
they got a set of most unwel-
come marks.
Australia’s Esther Qin and Ge-
orgia Sheehan rode a terrific fi-
nal dive to grab gold with 284.10
points, ahead of England’s Alicia
Blagg and Katherine Torrance
(276.90) and Malaysia’s Mun Yee
Leong and Nur Dhabitah Sabri
(264.90).
The Canadian pair finished
with 246.78 points.
Benfeito, a 29-year-old from
Montreal, and McKay, an 18-year-
old from Calgary, had no such
missteps. They moved from
fourth to second as the evening
wore on with a polished steady
performance.
“We came into the event and
we really wanted to have fun. …
When we have fun, that’s when
we dive well,” Benfeito said.
McKay, in her first multisport
games, admitted to some nerves,
although they didn’t show.
Canada’s Meaghan Benfeito and Caeli McKay compete in the 10-metre “I think we help each other
synchronized event onWednesday. RICK RYCROFT/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS kind of loosen up and relax and
understand we know what we’re
doing,” McKay said. “And we’re
in it all together.”
Asked about her young part-
ner, a smiling Benfeito said: “She
did better than me today.”
Jun Hoong Cheong and Pan-
delela Rinong Pamg won the
gold with 328.08 points with fel-
low Malaysians Leong and Sabri
taking bronze with 308.16. The
Canadians finished at 312.12.
Benfeito won the event in 2014
with the now retired Roseline Fil-
ion. She also won the individual
10-metre event in the Glasgow
games and a bronze in the 10-
metre synchro in 2006.
The evening competition
went smoothly, in stark contrast
to the windy, glitch-filled lunch-
time session at the outdoor Op-
tus Aquatic Centre. South Afri-
can diver Nicole Gillis slipped on
the stairs leading to the spring-
board, competing only after a
bandage was quickly applied to a
damaged big toe.
The first day of the diving
competition was also delayed by
technical issues, which briefly
forced the judges to go old-
school and hold up signs indicat-
ing their marks during the three-
metre synchro springboard. It
was blamed on a keypad issue
affecting one judge.

The top-ranked golfer

The problem was simple

COMMUNITY-BUILDER
HAD A GRAND VISION
Bill (Wasyl) Teron pores over plans for Qualicum circa 1957. Mr. Teron was known for his attention to detail and an ability to think big. He was a
native of Manitoba who made a career in Ottawa before moving his company to Toronto. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE FAMILY
In addition to providing the land for Toronto’s Harbourfront and leading the CMHC,
he created Kanata and other Ottawa suburbs
ALEX BOZIKOVIC
ill Teron was born into a family of car-
B penters, and he spent his life as a build-
er: shaping suburban Ottawa, as well as
Toronto and Vancouver’s waterfronts
and structures around the world.
Mr. Teron, who died of natural causes on
March 12 at the age of 85, was the founder of Te-
ron International, a development and building
technology company that worked around the
world. But he was best known for his work in Ot-
tawa: Along with Robert Campeau and the
Greenberg family, he was among the leading
builders of postwar Ottawa – and an advocate
for thoughtful planning and good design, dedi-
cated to building good places and communities.
Dorothy Wigmore moved into the first house
completed in the Qualicum neighbourhood of
Nepean, a house that Mr. Teron completed for
her parents, in 1961. She remembers the builder
visiting with her family: “He was quite hands-
on, in my 10-year-old’s memory,” she says. “He
insisted on a cedar shingle roof, to show off the
material’s possibilities, and didn’t charge extra
for it.”
But Mr. Teron was particularly adamant
about trees: “Like the [neighbours], we had to
plant a red maple in the front yard near the
road,” Ms. Wigmore says. “He also kept the old
farm trees along Graham Creek, which went
through our backyard. They were the homes for
lots of birds and animals, including three rac-
coons we adopted one summer.”
This attention to detail, and to the entire pic-
ture of building and landscape, paid off through
the lives of clients such as Ms. Wigmore’s par-
ents. “He was absolutely a detail person, and he
insisted on quality,” says Mr. Teron’s son Chris,
who worked alongside him for 40 years. “He
had to make his homes cost-competitive, but he
absolutely believed that good design didn’t
have to cost more.”
Bill Teron inherited his talent for making
things and making them well. He was born Wa-
syl Teron in Gardenton, Man., a small village
south of Winnipeg, on Nov. 15, 1932. His grand-
parents on both sides were from Bukovina, now
part of western Ukraine, and immigrated to Ma-
nitoba in the 1890s with their families.
His great-grandfather, Wasyl Kekot, a carpen-
ter, was credited with leading the construction
of the St. Michael’s Ukrainian Greek Orthodox
Church in Gardenton, along with his son-in-law
Onufry Tyron. Young Wasyl, who became Bill,
learned carpentry from his grandfather Onufry
and his other grandfather, Wasyl Sandul. Yet
,Bill also learned from his father that “while car-
pentry is good, the people who get the real cred-
it are those who design the buildings,” Chris Te-
ron recalls.
In high school in Winnipeg, where his family
had moved, Bill showed himself an excellent
draftsman. He entered a national competition
in 1951 and won the prize: a job as a draftsman
for the federal government. Only 18, he made
the move to the nation’s capital.
This was where Mr. Teron would build his fu-
ture. His initial job in the civil service didn’t last
long; his salary, his son says, wasn’t enough to
pay the bills. Mr. Teron moved to a job with a
home builder, Charles Johannsen, and soon

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER, 85
clients were asking Mr. Teron to design their
homes for them. He did, and entered a business
in which he would be highly successful.
Ottawa was rapidly expanding and Mr. Teron
saw opportunities, first in Qualicum, on the
edge of Nepean, and then outside the region’s
greenbelt in what would become Kanata. Here,
he had the opportunity to articulate a big vision
of “a complete community,” his son says. This
was in keeping with the planning theory of the
period; and when real estate developers fol-
lowed planners’ precepts of mixed-use and
mixed-income “villages,” as in Toronto’s Don
Mills, the results were successful.
Mr. Teron tried. “When he set out to build Ka-
nata,” Chris Teron says, “he set out that it would
not be simply a bedroom community, but
would have as many jobs as people.” This was
the impetus for the Kanata Business Centre,
which became a hub for the region’s tech indus-
try. But Mr. Teron couldn’t continue working at
this scale without partners, and he entered into
an arrangement with Power Corp. Within a few
years there were substantial disagreements,
and Power bought him out.
Mr. Teron’s vision for Kanata would not be
fully executed. The rest of Kanata – and later Ot-
tawa suburbs – were largely built out as bed-
room communities.
Ottawa was rapidly expanding
and Mr. Teron saw opportunities,
first in Qualicum, on the edge of
Nepean, and then outside the
region’s greenbelt in what would
become Kanata.
Mr. Teron’s home life during this period
echoed that of many of his home buyers. In 1955,
he married Jean Woodwark, and the first two of
their children, son Chris and daughter Kim,
were born in 1957 and 1959. Two more sons,
Bruce and Will, would follow exactly a decade
after their siblings. They were “a very, very
close-knit family,” Chris Teron recalls, growing
up in a neighbourhood that the elder Mr. Teron
had developed in Qualicum. Chris and Kim
would go on to work with their father until his
death.
But first Mr. Teron would go into the public
sector, accepting a position from Pierre Tru-
deau’s government as head of Canada Mortgage
and Housing Corp., a position he held from 1973
to 1979. This was a tumultuous period at the
CMHC, when a crowd of younger bureaucrats
tried, as one told a reporter in 1973, “to turn this
damned corporation around from being a
banking institution into something else.” That
meant constructing social housing, including
for Inuit and other Indigenous people. “He was
a change agent,” says Karen Kinsley, who
worked with Mr. Teron before going on to head
the CMHC herself.
Also in the 1970s, Mr. Teron came to play an
important role in Toronto’s history. He assem-
bled land along the city’s old port lands, which
were being superseded by new larger facilities;
the old buildings and lands seemed ripe for re-
development. But Mr. Teron had a bigger vision
for the land, as a public park. “He saw the magic
OBITUARIES B21
of the waterfront city,” Chris Teron says.
Bill Teron agreed to sell the land to the feder-
al government at cost. “And the Liberal govern-
ment of the day announced the establishment
of Harbourfront,” recalls David Crombie, To-
ronto’s mayor from 1972 to 1978. “That was pos-
sible because he’d assembled it.”
Mr. Crombie recalls Mr. Teron in this period
as a force. “He understood real estate and he un-
derstood development,” Mr. Crombie says,
“and he had lots of youthful energy. I’m not
short on energy myself, and after I spoke with
him I always felt like I’d been gassed.
“Bill never had small visions,” Mr. Crombie
added. “‘Let’s do the big thing and let’s do it
well.’ That was his stock in trade.”
At the CMHC, he introduced programs to
stimulate home ownership and to support rent-
al housing. “Affordability was very important to
him,” Ms. Kinsley adds. “And his vision in that
respect is very relevant today.”
Mr. Teron’s vision extended beyond housing.
A series of the CMHC’s “Demonstration Pro-
jects” showed how central cities might be
adapted as their industrial economies shifted;
under Mr. Teron, the CMHC drove the creation
of Vancouver’s Granville Island as a cultural and
recreation centre.
Mr. Teron’s ambitions for large projects nev-
er went away. In the 1980s and 1990s he contin-
ued to advocate for his vision to bury Toronto’s
waterfront Gardiner Expressway under nearby
Lake Ontario, thereby remaking the waterfront
area. He also worked with then-Paris mayor Jac-
ques Chirac on a plan to bury part of the Péri-
phérique expressway “and on top of that ex-
pressway build parks and new buildings,” Chris
Teron recalls. Neither idea was executed in the
end.
While out of government in the 1980s, Bill Te-
ron went back full-bore into the development
business, and spent much of his energy on re-
search and development. His companies devel-
oped a modular building system to improve ef-
ficiency and speed. These began as U-shaped
concrete modules that could be arranged to
form the interior walls of houses, containing
within them such elements as cabinets or bath-
tubs. Larger variations on this system were used
to build industrial buildings, including a large
factory for Bell Helicopter in Montreal and a ho-
tel near Toronto. In the later 1980s, Mr. Teron
moved himself and the company’s headquar-
ters to Toronto, constructing office, condomini-
um and hotel projects in the region during the
era’s real estate boom.
In later life, Mr. Teron never fully retired, al-
though he received the Jane Jacobs Lifetime
Achievement Award from the Canadian Urban
Institute in 2013. He had also been named an of-
ficer of the Order of Canada in 1982.
Family and work were linked for Mr. Teron,
just as they had been for his ancestors. While his
two younger sons went on to professional suc-
cess outside of Ottawa, his older two children
worked with him from their teen years until the
end. “My mother always complained that we
got to have lunch with him five days a week,”
Chris Teron says. But “it was always a pleasure.”
“All his work was motivated by a grand vi-
sion. And that never went away.”
Bill Teron leaves his wife, Jean; his four chil-
dren and seven grandchildren.
