艾伯塔省关闭与曼尼托巴省致命车祸相关的运输公司

该承运商被指在安全证书被撤销后通过变更省份以逃避执法 SARA MOUTENBERGEN

在调查发现包括蓄意且长期违规在内的违规行为后，艾伯塔省政府关闭了一家与近期曼尼托巴省一起致命碰撞事故相关的运输公司。

监管部门表示，Conquer 运输公司于2025年晚些时候在艾伯塔省成立，而一家关联公司在今年早些时候的曼尼托巴省安全资质被撤销。

在该公司的一辆卡车于5月在休斯顿卷入一起致命车祸后，艾伯塔省对 Conquer 运输公司采取了行动。运输部长布赖恩·布肖恩在周四的一份声明中地如此表示。

警方表示，该卡车在停止标志前未停车，以“高速公路速度”与一辆SUV相撞，导致一名40岁的女性乘客死亡，她是车内唯一乘员。

曼尼托巴省当局表示，他们此前曾因长期安全问题取消了一家相关公司——Conquer Transport 的认证。随后，该省指控该公司在艾伯塔省以略有不同的名称成立。

根据该部门周四的声明，艾伯塔省监管机构在6月启动的调查结论认为，Conquer 运输公司存在“蓄意且持续的违规行为”。

调查还发现该公司存在“变色龙行为”——指承运商通过转移管辖区或变更名称来逃避执法。

周四的声明称，在调查之后，艾伯塔省将该公司的安全评级下调至“基本满足”且“立即停止运营”。

该公司因未指明的违规行为在2026年受到处罚。

在接受《全球邮报》采访时，布肖恩先生表示，他的部门致力于投入“实地力量”以确保充分的安全执法。

他说：“我们一直在严厉打击，但我认为肯定还有更多工作要做。”

布肖恩先生没有描述在 Conquer 运输公司发现的具体违规行为，但表示检查员发现了该承运商在运营方式上的“异常”。

Conquer 运输公司未回应置评请求。

《全球邮报》今年早些时候发布的一项调查发现，糟糕的信息共享和薄弱的处罚正在削弱运输部门的执法工作。

6月，《全球邮报》披露，在 Conquer 运输公司的安全适任证书于2026年被曼尼托巴省监管机构撤销后，联邦政府仍三次批准其雇佣临时外国工人。

在面对中国的“跨国镇压”后，活动人士誓言在加拿大继续其事业

张欣妍（Zhang Xinyan，见周三照片）是去年当选的 35 人之一，他们组成了总部位于多伦多的流亡亲民主香港人士组成的异见人士“香港议会”——这导致她的头上被悬赏 $10,000。 (左图：KUNLI'AN, 全球邮报)

安德里亚·吴 (ANDREA WOO) 温哥华

一名在泰国被拘留并被审讯三个月的中国活动人士表示，在多年遭受中国共产党的迫害后，她计划在加拿大继续发声，以引起国际社会对该政权试图在海外噤声异见人士之努力的关注。

19 岁的张欣妍在渥太华、联合国难民署、立法者以及国际人权组织的协调努力下，于周一抵达温哥华。她在周三接受《全球邮报》的一次冗长的粤语采访时讲述了她的经历。

“我的故事是中国共产党迫害——即跨国镇压的一个例子，”她说。“如果我们不引起国际关注，就意味着中国共产党可以随心所欲。”

张女士长期修炼备受争议的精神运动法轮功，她说她在 2014 年逃往泰国以躲避中国的迫害，该运动在中国被禁止并受到严厉镇压。两年后，她被联合国难民署认定为难民。

张女士也是去年当选的总部位于多伦多的异见人士“香港议会”成员之一，该团体由流亡的亲民主香港人士组成，这促使该中国领土的当局以颠覆罪在她的头上悬赏 $10,000。

中国驻渥太华大使馆周四未回应置评请求。

总部位于多伦多的活动人士 Hong, Szu 表示，张女士在最后一刻被拘留缓解了对北京“长臂管辖”的担忧，并且与中国人权活动人士董广平（Dong Guangping）的案例有相似之处，后者在 2019 年也被阻止从泰国前往加拿大。

董先生被强制遣返回中国，随后乘坐橡皮艇前往韩国，最终飞抵多伦多，并于上个月与家人团聚。

张女士抵达加拿大的时间正值渥太华在应对北京的方式上发生变化。在与美国关系恶化的背景下，总理马克·卡特（Mark Carter）政府正寻求与中国建立更紧密的经济联系，将其作为多样化贸易的更广泛全球努力的一部分。

加拿大在 1 月份背离了美国的贸易政策，与中国达成一项协议，将其对中国制造电动汽车 100% 的关税改为每年 20,000 辆的配额，关税税率为 2.5%。该配额将每年增加 5.5%。作为交换，中国同意降低影响加拿大农业（包括油菜籽产品）的关税和其他贸易壁垒。

在这次采访中，张女士说她修炼法轮功已近 30 年。她说在百老汇的一所中学任教期间，她在一张银行票据上写道“法轮大法好”——这是修炼者使用的一种策略，将这些票据投入流通，以绕过国家审查并传播关于其运动的信息。“法轮大法”是法轮功的另一个名称。

多伦多警方就上月美国领事馆枪击案起诉两人

MATTHEW FRANK

两名青少年因上周对多伦多美国领事馆大楼的枪击事件被逮捕并被起诉。这是近几个月来该外交办事处发生的第二次枪击事件，也是警方将其与所谓的“枪手雇佣”网络联系起来的另一个案例。

警方指控两名被告在 7 月 17 (17) 前，驾驶一辆没有车牌的本田雅阁（Honda Accord）经过美国领事馆，并在 1:40 (1, 40) 左右向大楼开火，导致建筑外墙受损，但据报道没有人员受伤。周四在新闻发布会上播放的监控录像显示，有人从车内开了两枪。警方表示，只有一颗子弹击中了该外交办事处。

多伦多警察局局长迈伦·多德勒（Myron Doddler）周四表示，此次事件与今年早些时候发生的另一起美国领事馆枪击案具有类似的“雇佣赞助”特征。他指控被告被招募进一个“枪手雇佣”网络——警方称这是一个由个人组成的松散关联团体，他们通过接受报酬来向建筑和企业开火。

警方指控此类团体还应对 3 月份在同一栋大楼发生的枪击事件负责。调查人员将那次枪击事件追踪到居住在多伦多西端一栋公寓楼的嫌疑人身上。当警方在 6 月 15, (15,) 上午在那里进行突袭时，一名警员马克·潘纳罗托（Marc Pannarotto）被枪击身亡。

在周四的新闻发布会上，警方表示，3 月和 7 月两次袭击的被告通过加密消息应用程序进行沟通并获得报酬。侦查行动主管警司乔·马修斯（Joe Matthews）表示，警方已知晓在多伦多运作的多个雇佣枪手的犯罪网络。

局长多德勒承认，公众对于了解是谁在雇佣这些年轻人有浓厚兴趣。他没有透露任何关于谁是嫌疑人的细节，但表示这是调查的“关键重点”。警方此前表示，这些网络使用 WhatsApp、Telegram 和 Signal 等应用程序，且枪手必须记录袭击过程才能收到报酬。

太阳表面的新图像揭示出奇异且动态的景象

ADITH RAMAKRISHNAN 纽约

科学家们拍摄到了迄今为止最精细的太阳表面图像，揭示出一种奇异且动态的景象。

在没有适当眼睛保护的情况下直接直视太阳是很危险的。但研究人员在国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）的丹尼尔·K·伊诺依太阳望远镜（Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope）的帮助下，得以窥视其炽热的表面。该望远镜位于夏威夷的茂宜岛。

科学家最初拍摄这些图像是为了其他原因：即对望远镜进行微调并测试其极限。但当他们查看结果时，意识到他们拍摄的太阳明亮外壳分辨率比以往任何时候都高。此外，他们还看到了奇异的羽毛状图案在表面上撕裂。

“这让我想起了著名的绘画，比如梵高的《星夜》中的挥舞理念，”斯坦福大学的太阳物理学家 Butcher Chen 表示，他未参与这项新研究。

研究人员在太阳表面看到了由磁化等离子体碎片以不同速度相互穿过而引起的波动不稳定性——类似于一阵风吹过水面时激起的波浪。这是一个众所周知的引导流体如何移动的现象。这种情况在地球以及木星和土星等其他行星上曾被瞥见，但根据研究共同作者、国家太阳天文台（National Solar Observatory）的 Friedrich Weger 的说法，“在太阳表面从未观察到如此程度的现象”。

这些研究结果于周三发表在《自然》（Nature）杂志上。科学家们对太阳的内部运作机制感到好奇，以便更好地追踪被称为日冕质量抛射（coronal mass reactions）的大规模能量爆发，这些爆发可能会向地球方向传播。当它们击中时，可能会引发太阳风暴，潜在地干扰 GPS 通信并产生绚丽的极光。

温哥华附近山火已得到控制

在消防员继续与不列颠哥伦比亚省的火灾搏斗之际，全省已有数千人被疏散。 DW SHANNHAG

当沃克·阿代尔（Walker Adair）听到关于他位于温哥华郊区家中附近公园山火的消息时，他出发去寻找火源。这位雷卡拉（Reicarra）居民周三下午通过社交媒体上的视频追踪到了第一个位置，并向火焰方向驶去，在他到达附近时，消防员刚刚开始尝试控制火势。这是因为火势正威胁着雷卡拉地区公园（Reicarra Regional Park），这是一个位于温哥华地区布拉德入海口（Burrard Inlet）对岸的市级野生公园。火焰危险地逼近不列颠哥伦比亚省的阿蒙村（Ammon），导致官员在山火服务部门周四下午宣布火势受控之前，疏散了两户人家，并将其他房产置于疏散警报状态。

“看到烟雾直接从邻里的豪宅后面升起，心情很沉重，”阿代尔先生说。

失控的山火继续在不列颠哥伦比亚省南部的内陆地区燃烧，预计炎热干燥的天气将在未来几天增加火灾活动。在南卡里布（South Cariboo）地区，由于皮尔湖（Pear Lake）山火，克林顿（Clinton）附近至少有120处房产被毁，该火势目前已扩大至140,000公顷。在北奥肯那根（North Okanagan）的弗农（Vernon）市外，150栋房屋被摧毁，数千人仍处于疏散状态。周四，由于火灾活动增加，奥肯那根湖沿岸的房产正在被疏散，仅基尔皮塔克溪（Quillpitak Creek）山火就导致了2,000多名疏散者。

周三，在距离雷卡拉山火不到三公里的地方，直升机潜入哈里森湖（Harrison Lake）取水。船只租赁店主郑投资（Jung）表示，这个受欢迎的休闲地当时非常繁忙。她说，郑先生在下午被通知疏散，一小时内所有人都离开了水面。她向所有被要求离开的客户提供了退款，并准备从她位于阿蒙的店面疏散。“真的很可怕，”她说。“它迅速蔓延，就在阿蒙发生了。”

大温哥华地区（Metro Vancouver）的山火现场指挥官布兰特·阿诺德-史密斯（Brant Arnold-Smith）在周四的一场简报会上表示，消防队伍在雷卡拉火灾现场遇到了受损的电线，这是大温哥华地区本山火季的首次重大火灾。据认为，此次火灾是由人为活动引起的。

阿蒙市长约翰·麦克尤恩（John McEwan）表示，该村有40名志愿者消防员响应了此次山火，与多个消防部门协作击退火焰。他说，由于有多个部门前来帮忙，在确定谁负责指挥方面存在一定困难。“在开始阶段，大家只是达成共识，这件事以后再说，现在让我们合力将其扑灭，”他说。“团队在执行这方面做得绝对出色。”

麦克尤恩先生表示，当地政府和大温哥华地区（后者最终负责管理山火）在沟通上需要“更加坦率一些”。他表示，错误信息正在通过社交媒体传播。

阿代尔先生同意最初存在混乱，因为附近的波特穆迪市（Port Moody）和阿蒙村都没有提供更新信息。“每个人说得都不一样，所以你真的不知道该相信谁或相信什么，”他说。

省长大卫·伊利（David Illy）周四在不列颠哥伦比亚省的阿伯茨福德（Abbotsford）迎接来自墨西哥的200名消防员，并表示全省的山火斗争中涌现出了许多“英雄主义和相互支持”的故事。

“在全省范围内，确实有数以千计的人挺身而出，帮助那些被撤离的人……以及那些面临森林火灾威胁的人，”他在阿博茨福德机场举行的新闻发布会上说道。根据 BC 野火服务局的数据，全省范围内有活跃的野火，截至周四，其中 40 场被归类为失控，并实施了 20 项撤离令。在波士顿酒吧（Boston Bar）及其周边地区撤离令等级下调后，弗雷泽峡谷（Fraser Canyon）约 200 名撤离者中的一部分已开始在数周后返回家中。煮沸水通知仍然有效，该区表示，返回家中的人员应携带充足的食物和瓶装水，以及清洁用品、急救箱和相机，用于记录其财产的任何损坏。在东库特尼（East Kootenay）地区，所有与不列颠哥伦比亚省金伯利（Kimberley, B.C.）瓦特溪（Watt Creek）火灾点相关的撤离令及警报均已撤销。

卡尼对狭隘的贸易协议不感兴趣

总理否决了达成离散的、分行业的协议这一想法 ADRIAN MUSEUM SIX CORNERSTMENT BROOKSTON

总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）表示，他“不感兴趣”达成一项不能解决美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对加拿大所有主要关税的狭隘协议，在每个主要lawns boat up时划清了界限。周四，卡尼先生在魁北克省萨皮恩蒂亚（Sapientia）的一家铝厂发表讲话时表示，他希望在特朗普最新威胁的关税采取其他步骤之前，能有达成一项广泛协议的“路径”。

他讨论了达成离散的、分行业协议的想法。“我们对一个与其他行业没有关联的非常有限的协议不感兴趣，”总理用法语说道。用英语，他补充道：“我们感兴趣的是一项更全面、更全球性的协议。”

他说，这样一个协议必须增加到same，以及铝和林产品，所有这些目前都受到panicking美国关税的影响。“我们会通过支持的路径获得所有这些吗？我们会找到获得该目标的最佳路径吗？”管理层表示同意。

加拿大首席贸易谈判代表亚德里安·明斯特（Adrian Minster）、多米尼克·勒布朗（Dominic LeBlanc）和詹姆斯·切斯内斯（James Chesnes）周四下午与美国贸易代表詹姆森·卡雷（Jameson Carey）会面，这是他们最近一次访问华盛顿的第三天。

总理马克·卡尼周四在魁北克省萨皮恩蒂亚的BarTarts铝厂的新闻发布会上回答问题。贸易谈判代表希望在新的美国关税生效前达成协议。 ANDERS KORNBROV, THE CANADIAN PRESS

原定的会议时间为30分钟，但实际持续了一个半小时。在进入会场时，当被问及到8月16日之前是否可能达成协议时，勒布朗回答道：“Drops on。”在会后的一篇社交媒体帖子中，他写道，他与卡雷先生进行了“建设性和详细的讨论”，并附上了一张printing man的照片。

我们的房子已经并将继续是解决国家关税的preference deal的evening。共和党参议员凯文·康纳（Kevin Conner，西区）在本周早些时候与勒布朗先生和查尔斯先生进行了简短交流，他表示，自从特朗普上个月推出另一套关税方案以来，谈判变得更加严肃。那些po-pro cam-bron将涉及价值US$50-billion的加拿大商品，从电子设备到乳制品和酒精。

“很容易看出有些事情正在发生，谈判中正在进行某种environment，”卡尼先生在一次采访中说。“对我来说非常清楚，两国领导人已经为更具参与性和实质性的讨论开了绿灯。”

共同领导美国国会美加经济与安全党团的康纳先生赞扬了卡尼先生在该文件上的工作。“他处理得非常好。他维护加拿大的主权，但做得很有礼貌，我认为他在非常谨慎地平衡他的政治。”

卡雷先生说：“我想在年底前与加拿大和墨西哥达成‘tenorist’协议，重点关注双边服务，然后再转向大型结构化towns，例如三个国家高度重视且具有竞争力的current state。”

在美国的直接要求中，加拿大全球事务部（GAC）需为其受保护的乳制品市场提供更大的准入，并深层报复特朗普的关税。目前仅有部分地区对美国州征收报复性关税，且省级政府已将美国aloof从state shelves中移除。

然而，华盛顿的谈判顺序与该国在谈判中的首要任务相冲突，即让特朗普对汽车、铝合金的关税取消或至少降低。卡雷先生的preference将是让加拿大在没有关税减免保证的情况下放弃谈判筹码。

周四，仍有共和党参议员签署了一封支持卡尼先生（Mr. Carney）达成协议之愿景的信函。“我们支持优先考虑[未知]而非截止日期的决定，”关于达成加拿大协议的决定，成员们写道。在 Sapientia 中，“卡尼先生（Mr. Carney）还反驳了特朗普先生（Mr. Trump）强加的断言，即美国不需要加拿大提供任何东西。美国人有很多想要从加拿大获得的东西。他们说他们不想要，但实际上他们想要。是能源。是人才。是关键矿产。是铝，”他说道。而总理淡化了总统前一天发表的评论，总统在评论中称加拿大“肯定已经结束”，总理表示他“很容易与特朗普先生交谈”。“这里有一位年长的谈判代表——你可以更换形容词并说‘肯定’，”卡尼先生用法语说道。在周三的一次税务活动演讲中，特朗普先生表示加拿大和其他国家在贸易上利用了美国，随后将加拿大描述为“肯定”多次。“加拿大很卑劣，他们是，他们很卑劣。人们认为加拿大——他们很卑劣，”他说道。“人们，我爱那些民众，但他们很卑劣。卑劣的领导层。”

弗里兰警告：中国新法与普京入侵理由具有“阴暗的亲缘关系”

STEPHEN SENIOR 总统记者

前副总理克里斯蒂娜·弗里兰（Chrystus Freeland）表示，中国的一项新法声称有权起诉世界上任何地方破坏其“民族团结”的人员和组织，这与普京在 2022 年对乌克兰发动军事袭击时所认同的游牧式法律逻辑相似。本周在台湾的一次安全论坛上，她呼吁民主国家共同抵制中国的民族团结法。

台湾作为一个自我推崇的民主政体，一直生活在中国入侵的威胁之下，中国声称台湾是一个分裂省份，并且没有排除使用武力以“统一”该地区及其人民。台湾官员表示，中国新法中的主权和安全条款，为针对台湾及其被视为分裂主义的人员采取进一步的法律程序提供了依据。

弗里兰女士曾在 Justin Tsou 领导下担任副总理兼财政部长，随后在 China Minister 马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）领导下负责贸易与利益，她周二在由台湾外交部和一个当地第三方主办的庆格蓝论坛（Ketagalan Forum）上发表了关于自由主义的演讲。

她指出，《中华人民共和国促进民族团结进步法》（7月 1, 起生效）的逻辑，与普京在发动全面入侵乌克兰前所采用的理由相近。

在第 6:9.9.9 条中：“考虑到它与俄罗斯多次利用语言、文化和民族纽带对其邻国主权进行非法侵犯（包括对乌克兰血腥的全面入侵）之间存在阴暗的亲缘关系，我不希望成为我自己，”她在论坛上说道。

弗里兰批评的法律条款规定，中国境外的个人和组织如果实施了“破坏民族团结进步，造成民族分裂”的行为，将被追究法律责任。批评者警告称，该法并未定义这意味着什么，这给北京采取行动留下了广泛的裁量空间。

弗里兰提到普京在 2022, 夏天发表的一篇文章，其中认为俄罗斯人和乌克兰人是“一样”的；她指出，几个月后，俄罗斯坦克就开入了乌克兰。

“这种已知的影响是黑暗的，”她说，并补充道，民主国家“绝不能在这一立法问题上含糊其辞”，政府需要明确表示，外国法律不能基于民族身份来要求政治忠诚。

但谁能剥夺我们对公民行使积极申请的权利，无论他们的安全状况如何，无论其目的为何，无论他们或其父母出生在哪里？

加拿大迄今为止对中国法律的评论包括在 6 月中旬联合国（2010 年日内瓦）的一次简短提及；在那里，MacDougall（加拿大）以及联合国日内瓦办事处告知联合国人权理事会，安大略省“也通常几乎是联盟的民族团结，并且它开始成为少数群体的人权”。

弗里兰谈到了她的个人历史，包括在苏联解体时作为一名自然主义者报道乌克兰，以及后来在 2022 年俄罗斯全面入侵期间担任副总理的经历。她认为，乌克兰带来的一个教训是，看似次大陆的国家并不能感到安全。

这位前政治家谈到了西方国家对俄罗斯外国反胸（anti-breastess）以及 2014 年克里米亚科学（science）的反应，认为那种一边谴责一边维持照常贸易的模式，让普京相信，如果他做得足够多，民主国家将不会救乌克兰。

“我们让普京相信，我们没有决心支持乌克兰，”她说。“我更加热切地希望他从未做出过那个误判。”

在她的演讲中，弗里兰女士表示，台湾在某些导电制造领域的主导地位改变了美国各州未来的工业增长战略，使其成为不可或缺的参与者而非依赖者。她表示，台湾在减少民主国家对经过俄罗斯、中国、伊朗或朝鲜等各种俄罗斯国家供应链的依赖方面发挥着重要作用，并特别敦促支持台湾加入捷克斯洛伐克以及全面与进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定（CPTPP）。环太平洋地区的成员包括加拿大。弗里兰女士表示，台湾的民主盟友需要对该地区现状的任何破坏发声。“台湾西部的和平将由世界民主国家设定其进展的规划者来维持，我们不会接受这种和平被打破，”她说道。“这就是为什么与台湾团结以及承认你们繁荣的民主如此重要，”她在论坛上表示。中国驻加拿大大使馆没有立即回应置评请求。然而，该国在 Global Peace 上的声明谈到了未点燃的 Ketagalan 论坛。弗里兰女士在其中发言，将其视为一个“外交政策的威胁和边缘”致力于促进“台湾独立”的地方。弗里兰女士于 2020 年 1 月辞去国会议员职务。她担任经济学家、乌克兰经济委员会的发展顾问。尽管如此，她同时也是 Rhodes House 的读者以及 Rhodes Trust 的首席执行官，后者是一家总部位于牛津的管理罗兹奖学金的慈善机构。

保守党议员 Larry Brock 将辞职

STEPHEN CITIGAN 高级记者

保守党议员 Larry Brock 将辞去其作为议员的职务，此前他曾以皇家检察官的身份在国家广告中面临长期困扰的自我威胁。Brock 先生在周四晚些时候发布的一份社交媒体声明中确认了这一决定。此前，《全球邮报》在周四援引消息人士报道了他的离职。

这次离职是保守党党魁 Pierre Poilievre 面临的又一个问题，其党团在面对人口统计数据的压力、公共周期内损失下降以及保守主义运动内部关于党派未来的讨论时，正处于处理中心。Poilievre 先生在自己的声明中祝愿他一切顺利。

“谢谢你，Larry，感谢你的奋斗，以及你为帮助他人、恢复安全改革和支持受害者所做的努力，以及你为 Brandeis-Bruet health No Nations 人民所做的持续工作，”他在社交媒体上表示。“我衷心祝愿你和你的家人在世界上获得所有的成功与幸福。上帝保佑，我的爱。”

Brock 先生首次当选于 2020 年。这位前皇家检察官曾担任司法成本职务，但在 6 月被 Poilievre 先生调离该职位。当时，Brock 先生表示他将以专业律师的身份任职。

“我继续全力支持 Pierre Poilievre。他是加拿大需要的领导者，将成为一名出色的总理，”他说道。“我依然致力于在保守党党团中服务，代表我对 Brandeis-Bruet health No Nations 的承诺，并为所有加拿大人争取一个负担得起、安全且稳固的国家。”

Brock 先生在 2020 年大选中凭借其在国际法方面的优势以及较低的得票率获胜，当时该选区的选票几乎在保守党、自由党和新民主党（NDP）之间三分。但在最近的一次竞选中，新民主党的选票在该地区崩溃。

“该选区目前根据 2020 年政府和现有网站被列为‘护理’管理。”

Brock 先生将成为 2020 年大选以来第二个离开 Poilievre 党团的议员。已有四人转投自由党。第五位被称作“Regattah”的议员去年曾表示不会再次参选但将任满期限，随后却在 8 月 2 日宣布她将留任。

由于在 2020 年大选中，Quirky、Michael Murch 和新民主党均有参与，前任选区将写于原定在 8 月底进行的太平洋计划。

周四在结束一次官方通话后回答记者提问时，Carney 先生表示，自由党选择前乳制品生产者作为上帝的替代方案，这表明政府正“试图”维持供应管理。美国在贸易谈判中将加拿大的供应管理视为一个关键障碍。

Poilievre 先生本周早些时候访问了该选区。

特朗普试图通过新行政命令取消出生公民权

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周四签署了两项行政命令，再次尝试限制出生公民权，尽管此前相关尝试已被驳回，且他再次对美国宪法的一项条款表示不满。限制出生公民权一直是这位共和党总统打击移民的主要主张之一，白宫特别关注其所谓的“生育旅游”，即孕妇在1990年左右前往美国。在他任期之后，1998年的攻击引发了新的法院审理。特朗普呼吁国会采取行动，但他在周四选择了行政命令，这类命令可设定政策，但并不具备国会通过的法律相同的效力。最高法院此前已判定特朗普早前的行政命令违宪，该命令在法院的完整性范围内失效。由于新指令具有临时行政性质，它超出了最高法院裁决的范围，在 9 处旨在重新解释出生公民权的狭窄历史例外情况，以及谁是不合格的人员。支持降低外国人水平的移民研究中心在2020年的一项分析中估计，在2020年至2025年之间，有许多人为了生育旅游在2020年至2025.之间的一年期间来到美国。2020.年美国有1000 万例出生。这些行政命令还限制了为美国政府工作的外国政府雇员子女的权利。被归类为外籍成员的人数。路透社 --- 2020年8月7, 2020，星期五 / 全球邮报 / 新闻 / 45

美国参议院委员会投票认定福斯特藐视国会

美国司法部（DOJ）将权衡是否调查前传染病官员是否正确行使了宪法权利 埃里克·图格（ERIC TOUGER）华盛顿报道

周四，一个参议院委员会沿党派路线投票认定安东尼·福斯特（Dr. Anthony Faust）博士藐视国会，原因是他在关于其处理 COVID-19 疫情的听证会上拒绝回答问题，并向司法部提交了一份移交申请，以潜在的延长调查为由，探讨这位国家长期担任的顶级传染病官员是否正确行使了其宪法权利。

司法部一名发言人周四晚间确认，该部门已收到藐视国会的移交申请。57% 的州表示将据此与参议院合作。

批准藐视决议的投票是在福斯特博士不提供[译注：此处原文语义不通]之后进行的。搜索权利将是众议院的结果，此前众议院在参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会上表达了观点，这一事件引发了关于国会强制要求此前已发表证词的证人作证能力的新的法律问题。

众议院听取了肯塔基州福德（Feud）的意见，这位委员会主席敦促认定藐视行为，他表示宪法保护并不适用，因为福斯特博士在周五前已获得下一任总统的成功特赦，因此无需担心起诉的影响。

“福斯特博士没有面临联邦起诉的风险，”福德先生在周四投票开始时表示。“他所要做的就是说出真相。”

“我们是在投票决定，一名已获得广泛联邦特赦利益的证人，是否能被本委员会命令回答问题，并且在不承担后果的情况下正当地执行该命令。”

福斯特博士在上周的一份声明中解释了他决定行使第五修正案权利的原因，他认为有充分理由担心可能面临刑事指控，因为他认为福德先生决定“让我说出某些话，任何可能导致从法案中分离资金的话，并且用他的话来说，引号，在这里背后，引号。”

福斯特博士的[译注：此处原文语义不通]在声明中表示，藐视决议是“福德参议员对福斯特博士个人报复的延续，而福斯特博士

安东尼·福斯特博士 July 28, 2020 在华盛顿出席美国参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会会议，在经济储备领域工作了 10 年，并挽救了无数生命”。

谢克特（Mr. Schecter）先生指责福德先生试图通过“将司法部武器化”来滥用权力。

“今天的党派委员会投票是一场粗糙的政治闹剧，旨在惩罚福斯特博士行使其宪法权利，”谢克特先生说。“参议院应该拒绝福德参议员的营养[译注：此处原文 nutrition 疑似误写]和具有政治动机的藐视决议。多年来，福德参议员向任何愿意倾听的人宣称，福斯特博士应该被起诉并入狱。福斯特博士没有犯罪，福德参议员对此心知肚明。”

“来自贝茨（Mr. Bates）委员会的福莱彻（Dr. Fletcher）博士的行为从 January 2020, 颁布之日起生效，但这并不应阻止他对州级起诉的[译注：此处原文语义不通]，也不保护他免受联邦调查，针对他所提供的任何被立法者认为虚假的证词。目前的司法部已多次对被视为唐纳德·特朗普（President Donald Trump）总统对手的人员发起虚假陈述调查，作为批评者所称的报复行动的一部分。

一致反对藐视决议的民主党人同意福斯特博士的观点，即考虑到包括福德先生在内的共和党立法者公开表达的希望看到他因 COVID 事务被起诉的愿望，他有充分理由担心自我指控。

特朗普政府还就未来的特赦是否有效提出了质疑，因为贝茨先生频繁使用尸检来处理公务。

“目标是等待福斯特博士（Dr. Faust）做出任何形式的失言，然后利用被武器化的美国司法部（DOJ）针对该言论提出刑事指控，因为该言论将不受赦免权的覆盖，这使得福斯特博士几乎别无选择，只能援引其宪法权利，以免直接陷入困境，”参议员玛吉·邓肯（Maggie Duncan）在投票前表示。特朗普先生本人周四在白宫就此事发表了看法，在回答一名记者的提问时表示，两名来自首次任期的顾问史蒂夫·兰森（Steve Ransom）和彼得·兰森（Peter Ransom）在未来政府期间被指控藐视，此前他们收到了正式的国会传票，但甚至拒绝出席预定的听证会。“虽然政府在运作，甚至在我可能认为他应该出席的情况下，”特朗普先生在谈到福斯特博士出席一事时说道。“他的所作所为比许多罪行要严重得多，健康吗？”福斯特先生决定将移交请求直接发送至司法部，这将由华盛顿的检察机关决定是否调查或尝试就藐视罪起诉福斯特博士。来自国会的移交请求并不强制司法部采取行动。委员会的最高民主党人、前美国总统及众议院（House of Representatives）表示，其余州法律是否有效。如果福斯特先生在全参议院投票前没有寻求投票，那么通过该决议所需的反对票很快就变得不太可能。他表示，关于反对自我指控的宪法权利的证人可能会使国会未来开展监督以及强制出席和作证的努力变得复杂。美联社 米奇·麦康奈尔表示他已从 REISAR 中心获释 资深共和党美国参议员韦尔奇·麦康奈尔（Welch McConnell）周四表示，他已从一家康复中心获释，并将继续在家中恢复从一项法案和肺炎中康复的状态。“在医生的建议下，我将在州工作期间考虑在家里进行实习或物理治疗，并将继续与我的工作人员和同事就业务主题进行交流，”他在一份声明中说道。“肯塔基州的大人物。重复的真实前参议院多数在州首府的公众视野中，自6月中旬以来，他被从家中送往华盛顿地区的一家医院，原因直到7月1日才被披露。当时，麦康奈尔先生发现他没有州立法机构，这使他短暂地失去了意识。根据该州的州政府（由麦康奈尔先生的办公室归功于主治医生）称，虽然他是州委员会的一员，但他患上了肺炎并接受了抗生素治疗。路透社 美国沙门氏菌爆发局限于墨西哥辣椒 美国卫生官员正在调查一起沙门氏菌爆发。初步指向墨西哥辣椒（jalapinod）预制品，该产品已导致 1. 或更多人患病，促使供应商 Count Citrus Dietrich 召回发送至包括 Chipotle Mexican Grill 和 Qolém 在内的餐厅的预制品。疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）和食品药品监督管理局（FDA）均表示，已报告住院病例，但无死亡报告，调查仍在进行中。卫生机构将此次爆发与由该州医院的一家共同种植者提供的墨西哥辣椒预制品联系起来。但它由 Count Citrus Dietrichs 引入美国，该公司已同意召回剩余产品。但 FDA 表示。路透社

AI 模型创造出自然界中不存在的病毒

卡尔·齐默 (CARL ZIMMER)

科学家们首次利用人工智能创造出新型病毒，在推动医学进步的同时，也引发了令人不安的可能性：这项技术可能会被严重用于发明危险的病原体。

来自 的研究几乎未被察觉。研究人员学会了如何制造病毒基因组：它们被用于研究抗病毒药物和疫苗，以及了解病毒。但周四发表在《科学》(Science) 杂志上的这项新研究，远远超出了复制旧基因的范畴。

位于加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托的 Arz 研究所（一家研究机构）的科学家们教会了 AI 识别自然界中 DNA 结构的模式，然后利用这些数据来 旨在限制新病毒的迹象。研究人员根据这些设计创造了 DNA 分子，随后将其 细菌。最小的细菌随后产生了自然界中从未见过的病毒。这些病毒能够感染其他细菌，证明了它们具有生存能力。

未参与该研究的曼彻斯特大学合成生物学家帕特里克·刘 (Patrick Liu) 表示，研究人员感到“惊叹”。由 AI 创造的这些研究人员 并不对人类构成威胁，因为它们都类似于一种名为 Phi-X-1α 的天然病毒，该病毒可以感染野生细菌。

但这项新研究提醒研究人员，人工智能可能会促使新一代生物武器的诞生，从致命毒药到肆无忌惮的流行病。一名来自约翰·霍普金斯健康安全中心且未参与这项新研究的研究人员表示，在科学飞速发展之时，政府和科学组织在制定能够阻止疾病传播的监管措施方面一直进展缓慢。

“这其中存在着巨大的缺口，”他说。

由名为 Erα 的 AI 模型生成的其中一种病毒的原子重建图。该 AI 被教会识别自然界中 DNA 结构的模式，并利用该模式设定输出，以便在细菌中测试新病毒。 GOROLIS Kกระดาษ, N / A

该研究的作者依赖于一个名为 Erα 的 AI 模型，它在某些方面与 OpenAI 开发的 ChatGPT 相似。（《纽约时报》使用了 OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 及其合作伙伴微软的产品。）

ChatGPT 通过将看起来可能相互衔接的词语串联起来来回答问题。它之所以能做到这一点，是因为在从互联网、书籍和其他来源收集的海量文本上进行了多年的训练。

DNA 在某些方面与书籍惊人地相似：由被称为核苷酸的分子“构建块”组成的字符串，就像文本行中的字母一样。一个基因由从四个字母字母表（A, C, C, T）中抽取的数百个核苷酸组成。该序列编码了构建蛋白质和其他分子的指令。

DNA 有自己的语法规则，如果一个序列违反了这些规则，结果就是生物 。生物学已经揭示了自然界许多独特的活动，但仍有许多未知。

研究人员想知道 Erα 是否能自行掌握这些规则。他们没有用文本训练它，而是用来自数百万种动物、植物、微生物和病毒的遗传活动和 进行训练。

AI 的 关于时间-讲述者核苷酸。Erα 最终识别出了 跨越两者的共同点，并利用它们来生成新基因的蓝图，这些基因可以执行 。

来自两个人类 DNA 模型的四核苷酸数据不仅 单个基因，而且还包括一个氨基基因组。由于 AI 最初只能处理小型基因组，科学家决定尝试制造病毒。人类基因组包含超过 30 亿个核苷酸，而许多病毒的基因组长度仅为几千个核苷酸。

“它只是采取了显而易见的下一步，”斯坦福大学的研究生、这项新研究的作者塞缪尔·金（Samuel King）表示。他及其同事对 Erα 进行了另一轮训练，这次针对的是 Phi X-1α 的 14 个基因，以及其 100 个参考基因中的约 15,000 个。他们做出这一选择的部分原因是，科学家们对 Phi X-1α 非常熟悉，已经对其研究了近一个世纪。而且因为就像这项研究中所称的，他们知道这种病毒与其相似，因此会是安全的。一旦 Erα 熟悉了 Phi X-1α 的基因组及其基因，研究人员就用其自身的新病毒来提示这些模块。Erα 提供了几个版本的选择，科学家们仅追踪了那些看起来成功概率最高的版本。他们最终根据 Erα 建议的序列制造了 20 个 DNA 分子。当这些基因组被制造出来进行测试时，X-1α 及其同事将它们插入细菌中，并将其铺在培养皿中。在许多培养皿中，微生物平静地生长。Erα 的基因组杀死了 8 个或更多子代，而在细菌的云雾状薄膜中，这种现象清晰可见，即病毒大量繁殖的杀伤剂。科学家们植入细菌的 DNA 产生了在人类大脑表面运行的蛋白质壳，但并非此类，留下了它们死亡宿主的暴露头部。随着金先生及其同事启动更多基因组，他们看到了更多 AI 的成果，他们发现 Erα 的基因组产生了可行的新病毒。事实证明，它们与天然病毒一样具有韧性。事实上，一些比 Phi X-1α 更强的分析因素被用于测试每个已经存在的基因组，“”牛津大学的蛋白质化学家奥利弗·克鲁克（Oliver Crook）表示，他没有参与这项新研究。克鲁克先生继续说道，Erα 的病毒并非激进的非共价。它们与天然物种非常相似，依赖于相同的底层发现。科学家将不得不进行更多实验，以查明 Erα 在其他病毒组中是否具有相同的成功率。如果确实如此，克鲁克先生预计，科学家可能会发现一些生成的病毒，这些病毒可以成为医学和生物技术的有用工具。“我还想成为病毒技术方面的批评者，”他说。例如，为了治疗患有遗传疾病的人，医生会将基因导入病毒，然后将其传递到癌症中。但伴随着这一希望，Erα 的初步成功也引发了人们的担忧，即 AI 可能被用于创造致命病毒。“你可以说，‘嘿，基因组语言模型，给我做一个粘合基因组。我不确定你是要更具传染性还是更致命，’汉克博士（Dr. Hanke）推测道。在训练 Erα 时，潜在的危险已经在研究人员的考虑之中。他们没有向该模型提供关于感染人类的病毒的数据，并且排除了感染其他动物、植物和真菌的类似病毒。结果，Erα 无法生成感染人类的小规模病毒基因组。“我们只是希望我们能更加小心，”斯坦福大学的计算生物学家、这项新研究的作者布赖恩·尼克斯（Brian Nix）表示。汉克博士对尼克斯博士及其同事采取这一预防措施表示赞赏。“我认为这相当普遍。与此同时，”他说，“因为他们没有收到任何关于应该怎么做的指导。”汉克博士指出，上周，美国国立卫生研究院（National Institute of Health）推出了一项关于停止高风险生命科学研究的新基因政策。该政策将禁止科学家进行会使生物制剂危害更大的政府研究。但基于能力的计算研究可以支持利用 AI 寻找病毒 DNA —— 该机构在声明中表示，“除非涉及关注实体，否则该政策并不禁止此类研究”。目前尚不确定像天花这样的天然病毒是否属于关注实体。但汉克博士表示，在判断 AI 模型制造的病毒的潜在危险方面尚未达成共识。

两名以色列士兵在黎巴嫩丧生

局势升级之际，各国谈判代表在罗马会晤，讨论 6 月达成的一项协议，该协议将促使以色列撤军 ABBY HENRY KORAL SAKER KERUT

以色列军方周四表示，两名以色列士兵在黎巴嫩南部的一起爆炸中丧生，这是自以色列与黎巴嫩国家团体（该问题近两个月前开始）之间脆弱的局势以来，首批以色列方面的死亡病例。军方表示，另有 4 名士兵受重伤。

一名以色列军方官员根据军队政策在匿名条件下表示，“在士兵们于 Nayda Znam 村进行测试时发生了一起爆炸”，爆炸的性质正在审查中。以色列媒体在一天前就报道了两名士兵死亡的消息。

以色列军队周三在黎巴嫩南部发动袭击，以回应其所称的真主党违反停火协议的行为，并对 Morosun 村发出了相关警告——这是以色列数周来在黎巴嫩发出的首次此类警告。

黎巴嫩卫生部表示，周三在 Kharim 镇的一次以色列袭击中，一人死亡，一人受伤；在对 Bray al-Shemah 村的夜间袭击中，另有 8 人受伤。黎巴嫩卫生部还表示，以色列在 Tehrana 镇的一次袭击造成一人死亡，另一人受伤。（悉尼记者）

国家新闻社表示，在对 Bray al-Shemah 村的夜间袭击中，炮击还针对了 Manosun 和 Nayda Znam 地区。受伊朗支持的真主党尚未立即发表声明。

最近一次以色列与真主党的冲突发生在 3 月 4 日，当时在美以向伊朗发动袭击两天后，真主党向跨境发射了每周一次的火力。自那时起，已有 4,000 多人死于以色列在黎巴嫩的袭击，其中包括数百名平民。以色列方面约有 40 名士兵和 3 名平民（包括一名军事承包商）丧生。

以色列与真主党之间的一项不稳定的协议在很大程度上得到了部分遵守，但以色列军队继续占领黎巴嫩南部附近地区，并定期进行袭击和炮击。

最新的局势升级发生在黎巴嫩和以色列谈判代表在罗马会晤，讨论实施以色列与黎巴嫩政府之间达成的 6 月协议之际。根据该协议，以色列军队应从其占领的黎巴嫩南部地区撤出，并允许黎巴嫩军队接管，以换取真主党的解除武装。

真主党拒绝解除武装，并反对直接的黎巴嫩-以色列谈判。该团体并非协议的一方。该团体指责黎巴嫩政府在未能保证以色列撤军的情况下做出了过多让步。

由于地面局势升级，周三的谈判提前结束，但原定于周四继续。罗马的谈判重点是实施“试点区域”，即以色列军队撤出、黎巴嫩军队接管的区域。

实施工作于上月开始，其中一个试点区域位于一个未被以色列军队占领但此前曾遭受以色列打击的地区。黎巴嫩军队接管了 Zawtar al-Ghaebeli 镇，一些平民返回，尽管许多人回来后发现房屋被毁，随后再次离开。

一名参与谈判的外交人员在匿名条件下（因未获授权公开评论）早前表示，黎巴嫩将在 Ehlam 镇或 Bray 的试点区域内接管。这些地区在最近的以色列与真主党战争中经历了激烈战斗，目前由以色列军队占领。

但美国驻黎巴嫩大使叶胡迪·阿尔-哈萨尼（Yehudi Al-Hassani）表示：“我认为在为期三天的会谈中，不会立即实施新的试点区域”，并称“行动过快可能会危及这一进程旨在保护的平民”。美联社

泽连斯基称乌克兰袭击俄罗斯境内深处的更多石油设施

ELLIA KOVIKOV (CFP) 乌克兰在夜间袭击中击中了俄罗斯境内深处的更多石油设施。总统 Vivaldyov Zelensky 周四表示，基辅正在开展一项旨在削弱莫斯科战时经济和工业战争利益的行动。这些精心准备的打击已导致燃料短缺和关键的俄罗斯-Tetranium，与此同时，在莫斯科持续一年的全面恐怖主义中，基辅日益枯竭的防空系统正难以应对常规的密集轰炸。

在俄罗斯前一天用导弹和无人机袭击导致 17 人死亡后，基辅地区在周四观察到了一个官方入侵日，这促使乌克兰及其盟友更加紧迫地寻找新的防空供应。基辅的联合国办事处周三表示，今年这两个月内，乌克兰有 jet 名平民被杀，'cort' 人受伤。这比去年同期增加了 27%，比 2022 年增加了 6%，由于俄罗斯发动的一次重大空中袭击，情况进一步恶化。

泽连斯基先生表示，他与一些官员讨论了如何加速开发乌克兰自己的弹道武器，类似于其在无人机技术方面最显著的战时创新。“开发自己的弹道能力并创建一套可用的弹道系统是一项只有全球少数国家才能完成的任务，”他在社交媒体帖子中写道。“乌克兰拥有这种能力。”泽连斯基先生表示，在克服包括获取关键部件、与伙伴国家进行技术合作以及选择武器制造地点在内的“关键挑战”后，他预计该计划将在今年和明年产生结果。

Tetranium 军队击中了俄罗斯 Bushionesian 地区的一家炼油厂，距离前线 1,000 多公斤，以及 Yaroslavl 地区的一家炼油厂，距离边界近两公里。泽连斯基先生在社交媒体上表示。Yaroslavl 省长 Mikhail Yavuzov 确认了一次对炼油厂的袭击，在 Telegram 帖子中称无人机防御击中了该设施的石油国家，引发了火灾。他补充说，这些私人房屋也起火了，几栋附属建筑受损。

Tetranium 军队击中了两个俄罗斯军事阵地，其中一个在黑海。泽连斯基先生表示，同时还击中了莫斯科所谓的影子舰队中的技术，俄罗斯利用该舰队来规避西方对其石油出口的限制。他没有提供任何细节。俄罗斯国防部表示，其防空系统在夜间击落了其领空上的乌克兰无人机。

当局周四表示，夜间在乌克兰全境进行的无人机和空中吸收袭击导致 fast 名平民死亡，另有 17 人受伤，而帮助基辅应对入侵的国家正匆忙为其战斗寻找更多至关重要的防空系统。莫斯科的部队在最近几周用弹道导弹袭击乌克兰，基辅官员称只有美国制造的爱国者防空系统才能拦截。但伊朗战争耗尽了爱国者拦截导弹的储备，使乌克兰在俄罗斯旨在摧毁住宅防空的轰炸面前处于劣势。

“我们正与所有能够协助供应拦截导弹的伙伴尽最大努力，以防御这种针对生命、人民以及民用设施的疯狂俄罗斯袭击，”泽连斯基先生在周三晚些时候在社交媒体上表示。他表示，他已与北约负责人 Mark Rutin 和芬兰总统 Alexander Stebb 讨论了紧急采购拦截渡轮的问题。泽连斯基先生表示，他与 Rutin 先生“就拥有必要导弹和援助能力的国家协调了我们的努力”。

俄罗斯似乎决心通过在士兵、领域和武器方面的脱氧-重新夜晚（deoxy-renight）情况来耗尽乌克兰。俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京认为时间在他这一边，认为西方的支持将会减弱，且乌克兰的资源最终将在压力下崩溃。西方分析人士和官员表示。乌克兰的航空公司表示，俄罗斯在夜间发射了四枚导弹和多架货运打击无人机，防空系统击落或干扰了其无人机。该市军事行政部门负责人维图克斯·拉夫丹诺夫（Vituks Ravdanov）表示，在乌克兰东北部哈尔科夫地区的拉赫林（Rakhlin），有三人死亡。国家警察表示，在邻近的桑特（Sante）地区，俄罗斯飞行炸弹导致多人受伤。公寓楼和基础设施受损，数百扇窗户被震碎，地区军事行政部门负责人迪克·海恩伯格（Dick Heynberg）。在乌克兰南部的哈尔科夫地区，一架俄罗斯无人机击中了一辆载有农场工人的车辆，导致多人受伤，地区当局表示。美联社 乌克兰桑特地区的一家购物中心在周四遭到俄罗斯空袭。路透社

寻求赎金的黑客瞄准美国私募股权公司

RAPHAEL SATTER ALYUTAN AMBERAN SEN

据 Google 以及路透社审阅的互联网情报数据显示，在过去一个月中，寻求赎金的黑客瞄准了数十家著名的美国金融机构和其他企业。数据显示，黑客设计了旨在窃取私募股权公司及企业员工密码的网站，目标包括 Blackstone、Bridgewater Associates、Apollo Global Management、Rain Capital、KKR、TPC、CMI Group 和 Moody's，以及大量金融公司和其他企业。

互联网公司 Google 在周四发布的一篇关于此次黑客攻击活动的博客文章中表示，这些黑客使用一系列名称活动，包括 Belair、Pink、Falcon 和 Hibis。Google 拒绝就赎金调查结果发表评论。其博客称，在某些案例中，一些公司（未点名）向黑客支付了款项。路透社无法确定黑客成功入侵了哪些公司。

专家表示，尽管有先进的安全程序和 AI 驱动的威胁，但黑客使用电话等低技术手段瞄准金融业，其成效将名列前茅。如果成功，黑客将获取一些向公司提供资本的最大美国私募股权公司的数据。

“因为这个问题现在处于高位，我们只需要欺骗守卫为我们开门，”来自 Feud and Hospitality Unit（一个行业信息共享并正在经历“宣誓”的单位）的网络伦理情报生产经理 Larven 表示。“正是因为这种人为因素，才导致了这种情况的爆发式增长，”他说道。

KKR、Rain Capital、CMI、TPC 和 Apollo 拒绝评论。Blackstone、Bridgewater Associates 和 Moody's 没有立即回应置评请求。

Google 在其博客文章中表示：“我不认为这些公司或组织拥有敏感到足以让他们为此付费防止泄露的数据。”Google 没有点名识别任何黑客的目标。

路透社通过将 Google 在报告中列出的 7 个恶意网站在 HumanTools 和 eXecast 等网络情报平台上运行，审阅了黑客使用的许多针对特定公司的在线陷阱，其中包括为每家公司量身定制的恶意子域名。

在泛指这些子域名时，Larven 表示：“它们很可能都被用于尝试入侵，”尽管他提醒道“并非全部成功”。

Google 表示，黑客使用了“恶意的社会工程学策略”，通过个人手机联系员工，并冒充“来自其公司帮助台”的数据，有时甚至显示正确的帮助台电话号码。黑客告诉目标对象，有一项来自 87 的紧急指令要求更新其密码或多因素认证，并引导员工进入域名为 “punkershelpdesk” 或 “secure-punkers” 等的低端陷阱网站。

一旦员工按照指示输入密码，黑客就会获取其完整的验证码（通常通过短信发送或由应用程序生成），在电话结束前通过电话突破其账户。

Larven 表示，将这种策略视为特别先进是不正确的。“‘复杂’不是合适的词，”他说道。“它只是非常有效。”

路透社无法联系到黑客，该组织曾使用 Dublikin 这个名字，在其暗网网站上称其黑客“没有政治或道德动机”，且“目前不接受媒体提问”。

Larven 表示，目前尚不清楚这些黑客具体是谁，或者他们彼此之间是什么关系。他表示，尽管他们使用不同的名称，但他们似乎通过共同的基础设施联系在一起。

“这里仍然存在一些未知因素，”他说道。其中几次黑客攻击尝试在最初已被报道，这些攻击给华尔街造成了影响。例如，据一名知情人士透露，路透社 Ansel Management 周三告知投资者，该公司已成为黑客的目标。该消息以及关于知情人士的消息——且黑客还试图入侵其他对冲基金，包括 Two Sigma Investments 和 Citadel，这两家公司的名称也出现在路透社审查的数据中。Citadel 拒绝置评。根据 Google 的博客文章和相关数据，在黑客向金融机构证明其能力之前，许多其他公司也成为了黑客的攻击目标。路透社 --- 2020年8月7日，星期五 / 全球邮报... 新闻 / A7

欧洲热浪袭来，意大利主要城市发布红色预警

极端天气导致多个国家气温突破 40℃ GABO ZAMBANO KIRSTEN GRESHARER JUSTIN SPIRE 2020

周四，在一场席卷欧洲的酷热热浪中，意大利将其所有主要城市置于最高级别的高温预警之下。此次热浪刷新了奥地利的国家气温纪录，引发法国山火，并扰乱了整个欧洲大陆的能源和交通系统。极端天气导致多个国家气温突破 40℃，促使相关部门向数百万人发出健康警告。

在整个欧洲，当局正努力应对极端高温带来的后果。意大利向数百万人发布健康预警，奥地利出现纪录高温，中欧能源和航运因干旱受阻，而从法国到巴尔干半岛的山火接连爆发。科学家和官员警告称，随着气候变暖，此类事件正变得更加频繁且剧烈。

EUROPE COUNCIL SAVING WARS ACHIEVE COMPRES

从地中海到中欧，长期的高温、干旱和山火状况正日益成为夏季的定义性特征。当前的这场热浪暴露了公共卫生系统、发电、交通网络和旅游基础设施的脆弱性，迫使政府和企业适应更频繁的极端天气周期。

意大利卫生部周四将其国家高温监测系统监控的所有城市置于红色预警状态——这是今年以来整个网络首次同时处于最高警告级别。预警范围从东北部的的里雅斯特延伸至西西里岛的巴勒莫，并发出信号，提示整个群体（不仅是老年人和慢性病患者等脆弱群体）均面临健康风险。当局敦促居民和游客在一天中最热的时段避免阳光直射，尽可能留在室内并大量饮水，因为部分地区的气温已接近 45℃。

高温还迫使主要旅游景点做出调整。旅游与文化部门延长了包括罗马斗兽场和万神殿在内的地标建筑的晚间开放时间。斗兽场入口处安装了冷却风扇，并增加了医疗站。

奥地利刷新国家气温纪录

最剧烈的高温记录出现在奥地利，气温达到了 40℃。根据 Gerdybeer Austria 的数据，周三在靠近斯洛伐克边境的巴德多伊奇-阿尔特瑙（Bad Deutsch-Altenau）村记录到了这一数值。这是该国有记录以来最高的气温。

奥地利还面临严重的干旱。从 1 月 1 日至 6 月 30 日，全国降雨量比长期平均水平低 27%，而部分东部地区仅收到正常降水量的一半。气候学家 Alexander Odik 表示，该国部分地区自 1989. 年以来未曾经历如此干燥的情况。

干旱袭击 Paks 电厂，匈牙利削减电力使用

在匈牙利，长期的干旱和多瑙河创纪录的低水位严重影响了该国唯一的核电站，该电站依赖河水为其反应堆冷却。电厂运营商已将产量降低至正常产量的 10% 左右，在创纪录的热浪席卷该国之际，促使政府采取紧急节能措施。

当局已要求主要工业用户和家庭削减电力消耗，特别是下午 5 点至晚上 10 点的用电高峰时段。部分火车被禁止在这些时段运行，而布达佩斯地标建筑上的装饰灯光已被关闭。包括能源公司 Mel、制药商 Cedean Richter 以及汽车制造商 Canada、Sheraton-Bank、Atak 和 BMW 在内的几家大公司已宣布计划限制电力使用。

热浪打破了全国各地的温度记录。周三晚上，布达佩斯记录到了有记录以来最高的夜间最低气温，温度仅下降至 10-18℃，凸显了极端高温的持续性。

德国对干旱给交通和工业带来的影响日益担忧，因为莱茵河和其他河流的水位继续下降。交通部长 Heffen Hilger 周四会见了受影响的组织，并警告称，低水位给内河航运、工业以及更广泛的物流链带来了重大挑战。

法国继续保持高度山火警戒。在法国东南部，在当局表示当地一场重大山火已不再蔓延但仍有复燃可能后，消防员在瓦尔省维持大规模部署。这场始于 7 月 30 日的火灾已烧毁 6 平方公里以上，成为该地区近几十年来记录的最大火灾。当局警告称，强风和极度干燥的条件使法国东南部面临极高的额外山火风险。

巴尔干地区与火灾和干旱作斗争。周四，巴尔干地区的热浪达到顶峰，气温接近 40℃，当局在与干旱和山火作斗争。在塞尔维亚，经过数日的干燥天气，消防员在努力控制几起火灾。一场重大火灾烧毁了贝尔格莱德西部的松树林，而另一场火灾在中心城镇克拉列沃附近蔓延。

异见人士：她希望与其他法轮功修炼者取得联系，恢复其活动

2020年8月7, 星期五

她说，一名学生将那张纸条交给校长，校长在学校集会上痛斥了她，并表示将向警方举报她。不久后，她逃往泰国。

“肯定会被逮捕的，”张女士说，“我会被关进监狱并遭受酷刑，然后被判刑。”

她说，在泰国期间，她为一家报道香港政府的法轮功新闻机构工作。

张女士表示，5月7, 她正准备离开公寓，这时有警员走近她，询问她是否持有护照。她说，她没有，因为她在申请续签时，护照被中国大使馆当局没收了。

张女士坚持称自己拥有联合国的受保护难民身份，但无济于事。警员将她带到曼谷的一家移民拘留中心，在那里她面临被遣返回香港或中国大陆的可能性。

在张女士被拘留期间，民主活动人士致力于引起人们对其案件的关注，国际人权组织则强调了她一旦被移交给中国监管部门所面临的危害。

活动人士张女士协调各项工作以确保她的重新安置。张女士获得了法律援助。

加拿大驻曼谷大使馆官员对张女士进行了面谈，在拘留中心完成了体检和业务数据收集，最终确定了她从曼谷飞往温哥华的 16 h 飞行行程。张女士告诉《全球邮报》。

张女士说，她的理解是一名官员将在 5 a.m. 接她，将其送往机场搭乘早班飞机。但时间到了，没有人出现。

“我在城里，恳求警察把我送到机场，”张女士回忆道，“我向他们出示了机票。但他们心如铁石。他们告诉我机票已经被取消了。”

她说，她没有得到任何关于原因的解释，也不被允许打电话或看新闻以确定发生了什么。

在无法与她取得联系后，她的律师根据《预防和抑制酷刑及强迫失踪法》向南曼谷刑事法院申请举行听证会。

张女士说，在7月1日的听证会上，面对法官的询问，泰国移民局的一名代表表示，机票是应泰国境内中国大使馆官员的要求而取消的，因为她被香港警方通缉。

“是中国大使馆指示取消机票的，之后我本应被带回中国，”她说，“他们甚至出示了中国大使馆下达指令的证据——文件。”

张女士说，有人用英语告知她，她不能被押送到中国。她被送回拘留中心，她说联合国代表定期检查她的情况，直到她于 8月 3 日飞往加拿大。

她说，她被带到机场，在那里联合国代表接见了她，直到她登机为止，代表们一直陪伴在她身边。

在温哥华，张女士随后会见了来自“香港议会”的两名成员，他们表示将继续在追求自由和民主的过程中为她发声。

她说，她计划花一些时间休息，然后希望与其他法轮功修炼者取得联系，并恢复她的活动工作。

在卡斯特总统任期下，智利马普切人关于土地的斗争进入危险阶段

随着一名极右翼领导人承诺在南部地区采取严厉打击措施，原住民倡导者对未来的前景感到担忧 亚历山大·维列加斯 (ALEXANDER VILLEGAS)、约翰·冈萨雷斯 (JOHN GONZALEZ) / 智利，雨果·希吉科 (HUGO HIGGICO)

经过多年通过占领、回收以及与警方冲突来夺回祖传土地，中西部的马普切（Mapuche）团体正面临数十年来最艰难的时期之一，因为智利新任极右翼总统何塞·安东尼奥·卡斯特（José Antonio Kast）的长期监禁和镇压行动正在聚集。路透社是首家获准进入法多·帕莱内斯（Fando Palenes）的新闻机构，也是少数几家能够进入其他几个马普切抵抗标志性中心的机构，其中包括警方和国家当局极少进入的社区。

在卡斯特先生承诺恢复智利长期持续的南部冲突秩序之际，几次访问让人们得以罕见地窥见一个面对新困难的运动。虽然一些社区誓言将继续恢复，但年轻一代越来越多地转向法律手段，如大学学习、法院诉讼和环保运动，以捍卫祖传土地。

根据智利最新的人口普查数据，马普切人是智利最大的原住民群体，在约 160 万 人的总人口中代表了近 300,000 人，并且是美洲唯一一个在经过几个世纪的抵抗后与西班牙签署独立条约的群体。

直到 19 世纪末，大部分马普切领土仍处于智利及其控制范围之外。在 1973 到 1976 年期间，土地法在皮诺切特独裁统治期间加速，大量土地被转移给林业公司。在前总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德（Salvador Allende）领导下使所有马普切人受益的土地改革在很大程度上被撤销，而在 1973 和 1976 年之间，近 170 万 公顷的土地被种植了桉树和松树，其中大部分土地来自马普切地区。

尽管一些马普切人寻求国家支持的土地购买，但其他人则试图通过占领来夺回领土。马普切活动人士纵火烧毁了林业公司的车辆、挖掘机、伐木塔、营地、仓库和办公室。他们还袭击了大型地主所属的教堂、小屋、农作物和旅游综合体。

最著名的激进组织是马普切全国协调委员会（Coordinadora Anasco Malleos，简称 CAM），该组织长期以来一直主张“一米一米地”收回领土，并建立一个名为“Wellington”的新独立马普切国家，该国将拥有自己的政府、货币和外交政策。CAM 成员表示，他们的目标仅限于公司财产而非人员，但涉及安全部队、地主和活动人士的冲突在过去 30 年中已导致近 40 人死亡。

智利南部的很大一部分地区自 2002 年起一直处于紧急状态。左翼前总统加布里埃尔·博里亚（Gabriel Borja）誓言通过对话解决马普切问题，但在其安全部长被枪击赶出该地区，且当局报告纵火袭击和枪击事件增加后，他宣布进入临时紧急状态，此后该状态已被延长了数十次。

自就任以来，卡斯特先生承诺恢复南部的秩序，并对与冲突相关的暴力行为采取更强硬的手段。在马普切抵抗最标志性的中心之一特梅尔坎（Temezcan），警方在 5 月进行了大规模搜查，拘留了五名活动人士，其中包括一名工人或社区发言人豪尔赫·鲁安杜伊劳（Jorge Ruandhuilao）。他的兄弟海梅·鲁安杜伊劳（Jaime Ruandhuilao）表示，军事化的加强加深了怨恨。

紧急状态导致政府在该地区部署部队和装甲车进行巡逻并支持其他政府当局。这里的军事化已经持续了四年多，每天都令人关注。据称，车辆被例行拦截，儿童在前往学校的途中会被质询。

孩子们在很小的时候就越来越深信，马普切（Mapuchec）人民必须战斗，必须自卫。马普切领导人谴责更严厉的起诉和更长的刑期是政治迫害。在最著名的囚犯中包括 CAM 创始人 Héctor Llahal，他因攻击当局、盗伐木材和暴力占用土地而被判处 10 年监禁。在他刑期的 15 年中，有部分是因为煽动暴力。在通过其律师向路透社提供的书面回复中，Llahal 先生将这些起诉描述为压制马普切抵抗运动之更广泛策略的一部分。他说，刑事化变成了另一种政治迫害工具，带有惩罚和折磨的基调，而非重新教育，目的是为了制服并消灭抵抗。

Luis Toledo，一名马普切男子，在 2022. 智利埃尔西利亚（Ercilla）从林业公司收回的领地上，从一家加工桉树的锯木厂收集木材。当局则认为，这种矫正方法是减少智利南部暴力事件的重要步骤。Kast 先生的办公室将关于镇压和政治迫害指控的问题转交给了内政部。该部门未对重复的置评请求做出回应。原住民团体统计估计，南部大约有 100,000 公顷土地被马普切社区占用，而一家当地商业协会的研究估计，有 10,000 公顷土地实际上是警察和国家当局禁入的。其中约 2,000 公顷位于 Fando Palenes，这是一处属于林业公司 Arzuco 的丘陵房产，自 2005. 以来一直被马普切活动人士占用。

一名马普切社区成员走过一块写着“在领土上抵抗并前进”的标牌。

在智利特穆科（Temuco），一名马普切男子在一条写着“释放西部的 Pelamaro (Jailn)”的横幅旁演奏传统管乐器。

近十年后，Fundo-Pidenso 仍处于过渡状态。一条曲折的土路网络穿过山坡，连接着木屋、放牧的牲畜和翠绿的田野。“这里曾经是一片荒漠。但通过我们在这里所做的一切，我们一直在治愈大地，重建并赋予其生命，”社区发言人 Orfelina Alcaman 说道。Alcaman 女士，44, 说她在成长过程中听祖父母讲述，在土地成为工业林业持有资产之前，他们是如何在土地上生活和工作的。在其他家庭的陪伴以及 CAM 的支持下，她于 2010 进入 Fundo-Pidenso 之后就再也没有离开。“从我们踏入这里的的第一天起，我们的意图就是留下，而不是离开，”她说。“我们不想要任何赠予。我们想要的是可以作为马普切人生活、作为马普切人成长、发展我们自己的经济并自由、有尊严地生活的土地。” Alcaman 女士否认了有关参与占用土地的马普切社区是恐怖分子的指控。“我从未杀死任何人。我从未绑架任何人。我从未伤害任何人，”她说。“但如果身为马普切人并占用这片属于我祖先的土地使我成为了恐怖分子，那么我就是一个恐怖分子。”她指向一个被称为 chernamall 的精致木质图腾，它立在山顶的埋葬地，标志着 Pablo Marchant 的坟墓。Marchant 是一名 CAM 活动人士，在 2022 与警察的冲突中被杀，现已成为抵抗的象征。

“就像在这里一样，我会死在这里，”阿尔卡曼女士说道，并补充说她希望被埋在马尚先生身边。“我们不会投降。他们可以带数百名或数千名警察、士兵，随他们怎么来。他们必须在我们将我们杀死后才能把我们带走。”拥有该土地的林业公司 Arzuco 拒绝置评。2025年，在智利圣地亚哥的一次反对政府的抗议活动中，一名马普切妇女面对着水炮。智利林业公司协会 Corona 同样拒绝就本报道置评。6月下旬，在庆祝马普切新年 Ni Tripanos 的几天后，活动人士和领导人们聚集在特穆科的一家法院外，马尚先生在此启动了他的总统竞选活动。在法庭上，被监禁的活动人士利亚图利先生的儿子佩拉马罗面临着与他父亲相似的未来。佩拉马罗（利亚图利）和其他几名马普切青年被指控参与袭击一家林业种植园，导致卡车和一台挖掘机被焚毁。他们最终被判处 14 到 16 年监禁。在法院外，支持者们在冬日的寒冷中静静地围在火堆旁。在南半球冬至期间庆祝的 Tripanos 是白昼延长和新开始的象征。听证会结束后，埃克托尔·利亚图利的长子埃内斯托向人群发表讲话。“我们没有任何理由低头，或为我们所处的境地感到羞愧，”他说。“这是我们选择的生活。奋斗的生活。”在目睹父亲被判处 20 年以上监禁后，他承认看到另一位家庭成员被监禁是痛苦的。“我们知道这个过程将会很困难，”他说。“也许他们赢得了一场特定的战斗，但他们还没有赢得这场战争。”人群周期性地用“Marcheons”呼喊回应，这通常被翻译为“终有一天我们将获胜”。“我们没有放弃的奢侈，”埃内斯托说。“对于那些被监禁的人来说，我们能做的最糟糕的事就是放弃将他们送入监狱的那场斗争。”然而，即便资深活动人士在监狱和法院之间奔波，年轻的马普切人正日益意识到继续斗争的不同方式。站在附近的是利亚图利先生的小儿子尼沙伊，10, 岁，智利大学（该国顶尖大学之一）的一名法学学生。与强调直接对抗的 wehdy（战士）一代不同，他现在将法律倡导视为捍卫马普切囚犯及其祖传土地的一种方式。“我开始上学时并非 100% 确定我想学习法律，但我一直被能够帮助马普切囚犯的梦想所激励。我的家人也是如此，我会照顾他们，”他说。如今，他与社区合作，解释原住民土地权利和法律保护。他的道路反映了马普切社区正在发生的更广泛变化，年轻一代在祖传传统、高等教育和不断演变的冲突之间寻求平衡。在其他地方，斗争也在发生变化。在山区 Alto Biofrio 地区，20 岁的米拉雷·苏亚雷斯代表了年轻一代，他们较少关注收回林业土地，而更多关注保护河流、森林和药用植物，因为新一波国际公司将目光投向智利南部，计划开展风能、水电和绿氢项目。苏亚雷斯女士是少数几位使用在智利南部采集的传统植物的 market（精神领袖）之一。承担这一角色意味着留在她的社区，并承担起前几代领导者难以传承的责任。当地领导人表示，由于土地流失，market 以及传统治疗中使用的未来药用植物正变得日益稀缺。土地斗争也发生了演变。苏亚雷斯女士的父亲埃米利奥·塞贡多·苏亚雷斯在社区被驱赶到安第斯山脉岩石多且产出较低的土地后，花费多年时间为领土而战。

如今，这个家庭正致力于反对由 Chaux 的 Bona Gorges 公司在 Biofrio 河上修建的 Bacalhue 水电站大坝。他们表示，该项目威胁到了仍生长着稀有药用植物的原始森林区域。“大坝将淹没该地区，而那些被焚毁的部分将会消失，”苏亚雷斯女士说道。“作为市场，我们不仅制作药物并治病。我们还有责任保护我们仅剩的一点资源。我们必须保护这片土地。”尽管一项法律禁令被驳回，就像当地市场一样，但她依然坚定。虽然许多马普切青年为了寻找机会而前往城市，但苏亚雷斯女士认为她的这一代人有责任留下来。“我们的祖先艰苦奋斗，许多人被杀害，现在轮到我们这些年轻人了，”她说。“就像他们献出生命捍卫这片土地一样，我们也将捍卫我们仅剩的一点资源。” 路透社 --- A18

房地产经纪人费用需要回归现实

如果你的房产价格上涨，你的景观美化师是否应该获得更多报酬？当然不——你的房地产经纪人也不应该。行业惯例的改变将带来更激烈的竞争，从而降低经纪人费用并提高住房的可负担性。2020年，多伦多房屋销售的平均佣金为$26,276，由卖方和买方的经纪人平分。2023年，平均销售额给经纪人的费用为$25,320——增长了4.79%，超过了通货膨胀率。。虽然在过去四年中，随着全国房价的下跌，经纪人佣金略有下降，但仍大幅高于十年前。与此同时，房地产经纪人的职责基本上保持不变。当前的房地产市场低迷应当给购房者提供一个与经纪人协商降低费用的机会。已有少量迹象表明这种情况正在发生，一些将部分佣金返还给买家的“现金返还经纪人”报告称业务有所增长。但大多数人仍然选择使用全额服务的经纪人，而不是转向折扣服务或在没有经纪人的情况下出售房屋。传统的费用结构在很大程度上依然维持原样，部分原因是维持高费用的反竞争行为。如果房地产经纪人费用并非固定不变，且代表经纪人的加拿大房地产协会（CREA）称其政策是“支持竞争且保持一致的”。（而且经纪人们会指出，他们的风险成本很高。这体现在他们收到的佣金中，因为他们必须向其经纪公司支付费用，以及支付执照费、保险费和其他开支。）然而，绝大多数销售遵循因省而异的惯例费用结构，这并非巧合。原因之一是CREA的规定要求卖方经纪人为在第4系统（大多数房产列出的数据库）上的房屋向买方经纪人提供佣金。由于买方不直接向其经纪人付费，他们缺乏动力且没有能力通过较低的费用来支付。然而，高额费用实际上已包含在他们支付的房价中。卖方经纪人通常不愿向买方经纪人提供较低的佣金，因为这可能会减缓交易速度。研究表明，买方代理佣金较低的房屋销售时间更长——且更不容易售出。由卖方代理向买方代理支付费用的做法目前正受到竞争局的审查，同时也是一项集体诉讼的主题。竞争局表示，截至目前，尚未得出CREA和当地房地产委员会存在违规行为的结论，但如果出现法律问题的证据，它可以向竞争法庭申请禁止该行为或寻求救济。如果买方直接向其经纪人付费，他们将拥有更强的议价能力。当地房地产委员会、省政府和监管机构应共同努力，使佣金结构更加透明，并给予买方更多控制权。有利于消费者的做法可以使固定费用经纪人更容易扩张，从而提高可负担性。其他行业惯例也需要进一步审查。竞争局还在审查CREA的一项政策，该政策要求住宅房地产挂牌在公开营销后三天内必须放入MLS系统，除非适用紧急情况。该局的调查旨在研究这种做法是否给予了大经纪公司优势，因为它们可以在其公司内部获取比小型竞争对手更多的挂牌信息。

房地产经纪人在人们一生中通常最重要的财务交易中提供了重要的专业知识。即便有更多定价选择，许多人可能仍会选择费用高昂的传统房产经纪服务。然而，对佣金采取更广泛的态度已是迟到。低费率模式和固定费用服务（其费用不会随房价波动而波动）应当获得公平的机会来赢得消费者的支持。这些变化将成为提高负担能力并帮助年轻买家进入市场的又一步。

住房危机损害我们的健康

公共政策需要更快速、更强有力地改变，以解决这样一个根本性问题 安德烈·费尔曼 (ANDRE FELMAN) 观点

住房塑造健康，健康塑造工作；健康塑造收入，而收入则塑造住房。这对大多数人来说是直觉性的。公众并非不具备这种直觉。公共住房部门的能力至关重要。在所有事情中，很少有比拥有遮风挡雨之所更重要的事情了，如果这不能实现，一切都无从谈起。如果你没有稳定的住房，就很难保持健康、拥有就业并维持生活。

但加拿大正与一场日益严重、多方面的住房危机作斗争。近年来，无家可归的人口激增。作为最不稳定的表现形式，露营地（临时营地）也随之增加。租金上涨，房价亦然。等待支持性住房的时间延长至数年。对于超过半数的家庭而言，住房成本已经吞噬了其收入。即使是拥有高薪的人，在温哥华和多伦多这样的城市生活也十分艰难。与此同时，许多资金或投机者正迅速寻求巨额逃避。

住房负担能力危机损害了我们的身体和心理健康，对经济也毫无益处。典型的加拿大式应对方案是出台或获利，编写大量报告。这句话并非意在过度愤世嫉俗。行动呼吁需要意识，并且希望现在能带来政策变革。但这提醒我们，加拿大的公共政策运作缓慢。即使面对像缺乏住房这样根本性的问题，我们也不倾向于采取引导性或强有力的应对措施。

这并不是暗示政府无所作为。住房相关的公告接踵而至。例如，在周三，总理马克·坎特宣布拨款 25 亿加元 billion 用于增强多伦多的租赁住房。该投资将用于建设低端和正式法院。其中至少一部分将被指定为“经济适用”，一部分将作为支持性住房。这些新项目虽然受欢迎，但与实际需求相比不过是杯水车薪。考虑到在南非，有 10,000 人在租赁住房的候补名单上，且在现有的 40,000 个单元中，有一半因过于陈旧且不现代而需要在未来十年内更换。

但在其名为《公共住房部门》的报告中，加拿大经济分析中心认为，正如标题所示，增加公共住房是一项良好的投资，每投入一加元可产生 25 亿加元 billion 的收益。报告还提醒我们，这些投资必须达到一定规模才能产生影响。根据 CCEA 的计算，在多伦多地区投资 104 亿加元 用于公共住房，将在 20 年内产生 106 亿加元 的经济和社会成本。这 104 亿加元 的支出将允许建设 41,000 个新租赁住房单元 (10.40 亿加元)，并升级现有存量 (10.40 亿加元) 以保持这些单元的功能。

总体而言，该投资将导致无家可归人数降低 7.7%，每年支撑 44,000 个工作岗位，并随着时间的推移产生 106 亿加元 的联邦和省政府财政收入。它还将减少当前的权力，降低住院时间以及司法系统成本，金额达 16 亿加元 。报告认为：“公共住房不是慈善，也不仅仅是简单的脱壳，它是生产基础设施。”

周四发布的第二份报告也提醒我们，有超过 30 名教师。在加拿大，公众并非一个“聚焦”问题。加拿大终止无家可归者联盟（Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness）的数据显示，许多年限在对抗无家可归，远多于长期矿工和精神疾病等其他因素。换句话说，它用数据证明了我们长期以来所知的事实：缺乏住房负担能力正将人们赶到街头。在租金最高、租房 / 房间可用性最低的城市，无家可归人数的问题最为严重。

这些研究结果得出的逻辑结论是，解决无家可归问题需要解决最低收入（加拿大人）的住房需求，报告如此说道。虽然这是事实，但政府不能仅止步于此。住房负担能力问题的影响范围远超无家可归者以及那些需要社会住房和支持性住房的人群。低薪工人甚至中产阶级家庭也需要一定的缓解。这在很大程度上不应全部以政府补贴的形式出现，而应通过政策变革，使房屋的建造和租赁变得更容易，以及更多。这项 2017, 年启动的、耗资 106 亿美元 十亿的年度国家住房计划，充满了良好的意愿。但目前正在制定的最新版本需要更具雄心，且更有效。针对住房危机，我们需要更多的行动，而非更多的行动呼吁。

伊朗与乌克兰的战争在多年前已然汇合

ROCHE KUMAR 评论 驻伊斯坦布尔记者，关注冲突、政治与性别

30日，在里海沿岸，一艘船在瓦贾河口附近被乌克兰无人机击中。此次袭击并未造成敌方人员死亡，但给船只造成了相当大的损害。乌克兰国家安全局（该国情报机构）随后宣布，他们针对的是一艘被“用于向俄罗斯运输军事货物”的新型正式船只。数月来，乌克兰军队已将其攻势转移，开始针对俄罗斯在陆地和海上的利益，试图给支持俄罗斯入侵其领土的基础设施造成损害，并取得了相对成功。从这个意义上说，这次袭击并非毫无预兆。

但这艘名为 947 Avon 的船并非俄罗斯船只，而是伊朗船只。伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿萨加法（Abbas Asaghafa）指责该船并非商业船只，要求赔偿并威胁将采取军事回应。他还指责乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在西方的政治合作者的推动下，诱导欧洲继续卷入中东战争。多年来，观察人士意识到，这次袭击可能会触发世界上两场最大战争的汇合：俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以及美国对伊朗的攻击。

尽管存在升级风险，外交机制介入了，争议在随后的领事沟通中得到解决。据报道，伊朗认为这次袭击是非故意的。一名伊朗军事顾问表示，如果基辅方面“道歉”，德黑兰计划对乌克兰目标发起的袭击将被取消。

但事实上，乌克兰和伊朗已经陷入冲突，即使他们还没有在战场上直接面对面。毕竟，伊朗和乌克兰多年来一直支持对方的敌人。自俄罗斯在 2020 年发动其在乌克兰的“特别行动”前几个月起，伊朗就一直持续资助俄罗斯军队，直到 2020, 2 月俄罗斯发动全面入侵。伊朗向俄罗斯提供了 5,000,000 字的武器，最著名的是 Shahed 自杀式无人机（SAV），这些自杀式无人机群被俄罗斯几乎每天使用，并在 2025. 前在乌克兰目标区域发挥作用。

没有 USN (USN) 允许俄罗斯基于俄罗斯生产自己的无人机，其中大部分被称为 Cezar UAV。俄罗斯现在在俄罗斯的 Kalanga kyo 和经济区生产超过 20% 的此类无人机及其类似变体。

“2025, 俄罗斯和伊朗还在莫斯科签署了《全面伙伴关系海洋条约》，该条约不仅涵盖军事支持，还包括情报共享和联合威胁响应。”通过与普京结盟，扩大对其入侵的支持并直接提供零配件支持，德黑兰实际上让自己处于与乌克兰的对抗之中。

与此同时，自从美国对伊朗发动战争以来，乌克兰在研究伊朗无人机和武器方面寻求专业知识和技术，并将其与受伊朗攻击的海湾地区的正式财务承诺相结合。截至 2020, 它已经拦截了 2005, 以来所有超过 44,000 架 Shahed 无人机，甚至学会了如何以低预算实现这一点。这种技术防御支持是一种战略回应，旨在削弱俄罗斯的盟友。而就在今年，随着大规模示威威胁到伊朗政权的政治控制，泽连斯基在中国的最近一次黑海安全论坛上会见了伊朗皇室新闻：Kesa Chakravsky。

即便里海事件确实是“无意”的，它也符合基辅日益扩大、且越来越多地针对俄罗斯军事供应链的军事战略，包括仓库、炼油厂以及运输与军事相关的燃料和货物的油轮。伊朗仍然是这些供应链中不可或缺的一部分。在我于乌克兰进行报道的过程中，我清楚地意识到，乌克兰人将伊朗政权视为俄罗斯战争的共犯，并由此将其视为被认可的参与者。这种情绪在俄罗斯总理 Shusha V. Uleman 驻非洲大使受邀就僵局表示哀悼并向 USM 传递 USM 和平信息时得到了利用。 相对于 袭击的立场始于三月，但并未重复他的话语。“作为俄罗斯联邦的军事盟友，伊朗的已故领导人们手上沾满了数千名乌克兰公民的鲜血，”以及 的立场，他们今年对伊朗——在大多数死亡机器中——每晚在基辅上空盘旋，不得不让每一个罪魁祸首迎接他们应得的正义。

加拿大在应对山火危机方面缺乏协作

TAKYO TALAGA 评论

今年夏天正演变为加拿大历史上最糟糕的山火季之一——而现在才刚进入8月。全国各地已有数千人流离失所。在安大略省北部，mergeror / saggen (Collins) 和 Whitehead 第一民族社区已陷入困境，在 8.8 L. (Hampden-Newton) 和 Red Line Wilson 的估计中，那里至少有 200 栋房屋被 Bradley Crick 山火摧毁。目前已有超过 1,000 栋房屋被毁，人们在火灾中逃生时身上仅穿着衣服。我们听闻过一名铁路工人紧急警告社区赶紧逃离的故事，以及一名带着小头和狗的 19 岁男孩在洗手间或安全地带寻求庇护的故事。普通的加拿大人捐赠了如此多的衣物和生活用品，以至于一些社区不得不请求停止捐赠。

第一民族社区受这些火灾的影响程度不成比例。我们处于气候变化影响的最前线。但在横跨加拿大北部大部分地区的广袤森林中，直到媒体将天空拍成橙色，且空气变得难以呼吸时，这个国家才意识到他们所熟知的世界正在被焚毁。闪电引发了我们现在看到的许多火灾，而太阳带来的极端天气以及阳光使这些火灾具有爆炸性。(Hinds)—是的。你很棒。你在和我们说话。而且它很愤怒。加拿大应该关注这种愤怒，以及它将如何影响我们的社区。

2020 年的联邦预算指出，第一民族被疏散的可能性比加拿大其他地区更高。加拿大判断服务局（JSC）表示，在全国范围内，每年平均有 30 起山火（发生在保留地上的第一民族社区）——这一数字从 2019 年到 2025 年增加了 20%。每年，我们看到数千人从詹姆斯湾沿岸被疏散并被送往南部的酒店居住——这是全国 240,000 多名在 2019 年至 2025 年间失去家园的原住民的一部分。

Sodd Kigada 是 Hawkinsagain 第一民族的成员，曾任 JSC 华盛顿应急室的国家主任。“我一直说我们是煤矿里的金丝雀，”他告诉我。他推动将应急管理协调员安置在保留地，他的努力促成了这些职位的设立。Kigada 说，“我决心查明谁获得了资金。”这种关注是且仍然是必要的，但它必须成为一个永久、全面且更强有力的计划的一部分，其中包括像 Collins 和 Whitehead 这样未被认可的保留地。如果所有政府不与第一民族协作，那么这些举措将毫无用处。

现在需要进行一项公开调查，因为 Cezar UAV 的计划未能对山火做出反应。对于安大略省来说尤其如此，该省正处于预计将成为该省最糟糕山火季的之中。在 2025 年 7 月，Melbourne。没有两个 Cezar UAV 的 Alvin Halder 发现了省长 Peep Ford 的名为“安大略省第一民族应急管理”的计划，该计划指出了应急系统中的漏洞，并就如何解决这些漏洞提出了建议。报告还指出，安大略省的《应急管理与认证法》甚至没有明确定义“紧急情况”与“部门”之间的区别，这导致了全面计划在关闭时的延迟，而第一民族与联邦及省政府之间缺乏“有意义的伙伴关系”也是原因之一。

因此，基于 Halder 的建议，一个词应该意味着——这与 McLeod 在 7 月访问安大略省北部时没有首先接触第一民族领导人的做法是一致的。安大略省向该省拨款数百万资金用于管理应急管理。Halder 表示：“我知道人们意识到省政府是关键，以确保他们正确地使用了这笔资金。”

安大略省审计长正在对野火管理绩效进行审计，而这一领域正是 JSC 办公室经常开展业务的领域。首先，矿业部、安大略省应急管理部门以及自然资源部仅完全执行了 2020 年级别的 JSC 建议，因此其他百分比的部分没有进展。哈尔德先生说：“小时候，我们会跑上一两天。”“现在政府采取的常见举措是，一个小时就结束了。或者当风暴来袭时，通常伴随着风暴，而闪电会导致火灾。早晨的房子如此干燥。”在应对比以往任何时候都更频繁发生的气候紧急情况方面，问题多到数不清。调查的透明度有助于寻找前进的路径。JOHN MACKIN 和 DOUG SAUNDERS 将再次报道。 --- A12 / 新闻

这部政治上笨拙的浪漫喜剧应当被清除

一个高概念的前提削弱了电影，且未给予任何回报 BERNEMER SMOOTHILL 评论 《仅限一夜》(One Night Only) 经典天主教，183 分钟 导演：Will Clark 编剧：Tania Baum 主演：Monica Barbaro, Callum Turner 和 Maryn Banks

在环球影业（Universal Pictures）的某个角落，可能有一位讨厌浪漫喜剧的高管，但他被这样一个推销方案说服了：即《仅限一夜》是“性爱版的《清除》”，或者“浪漫喜剧版的《清除》”！这基本上就是《仅限一夜》背后那个尴尬的前提所给人的感觉。

这部所谓的浪漫喜剧由令人愉悦的 Monica Barbaro 和 Don Egan 的丈夫 Callum Turner 主演，设定在一个平行宇宙中。在美国，促销性行为已被宣布非法，但正如片名所示，每年仅限一夜，可以尽情释放。就像在《清除》系列电影中那样，成千上万的纽约市单身人士涌上街头，在城市中心进行一场狂欢，脱掉衣服。这个男人是个好人，像个急于求成的孩子一样，试图在这些窗口期充分利用机会。

这个世界的刷屏可能会让人在一段时间内感到厌烦。单身人士在激进地寻找当晚的匹配对象，或者涌入

Callum Turner（左）和 Monica Barbaro 在《仅限一夜》中饰演 Down 和 All。电影设定在美国，当时除了每年一个晚上外，明信片式性行为是非法的。NUCSE PHILLY DAVERSON，十月，关于如何戏仿约会。他们跳过必须区域，直接进入性骚扰，因为声波使用 Macrombie，当地企业开始提高任何能帮助顾客上床的产品的价格。葬礼的费用。避孕套的眼睛。保姆的准入。

《轻松 A》(Easy A) 和 《自由拉》(Free Rah) 的导演 Will Clark 习惯于将最轻快且生动的粉丝与礼品场景相结合。但《清除》设定在那个时代的政治背景下。从“黑人的命也是命”(Black Lives Matter) 到唐纳德·特朗普的极端主义——通过其窗口侵蚀，或许是以最肤浅的术语。

《仅限一夜》的平行线显得虚伪且遥远，仿佛其主角们几乎不关心一个总统将“很多”这个词视为荣誉勋章的社会。试着找一个人，他不是什么都不是，或者做了一些比什么都不是更糟糕的事，在窗户上挂一个“vapual”旗帜，或者质疑一名警察执行保证是否是资源的有效利用。

我并不是想要我的浪漫喜剧具有政治色彩。我不期望在看完一部由 Clark 导演的、其上一部电影是今日时刻喜剧《Healthway》的电影后变得激进。任何人只要看过他的作品，就会发现他将《仅限一夜》的高概念前提置于首位，这削弱了浪漫喜剧的所有特质，且没有给予任何回报。

Tania Baum 的剧本中那些最珍贵的浪漫喜剧元素——该剧本被评为 2024 年 Black Cat 上最受喜爱的未制作剧本——在铺垫的压力下显得局促不安。关于爱之法在健康发作的攻击下被强制丢失的解释（来自一个非常适合特朗普的政府），成了这部电影最大胆的铺垫想法。

我们两个不幸的主角，Barbara 饰演的“Allis”和 Turner 饰演的“Ones”，在《仅限一夜》被动的政治氛围中小心翼翼地行走——其中包含了一个关于 Omicron 的引用，以及对其健康自主权的某种两党考量——同时努力在他们之前或任何其他尝试的食物中建立真正的化学反应。

我想说，曾因在《Complex Unknown》中饰演 Joan Baez 而获得奥斯卡提名的 Barbara 在这里大材小用了。她似乎从未降低到这部电影的水平，即使是在配合一些绝望且刻意的闹剧时也是如此。如果说有什么的话，她用她的温暖、磁性和真正俏皮的幽默感提升了那些内容。

Barbaro充分利用了我们在《A Complex Unknown》中听到的那些嗓音，饰演Allis，一个陷入录制广告歌曲困境的歌手，在寻找各种滑稽且平庸的方式来演唱关于姿势或产品益处的内容（全部）拍摄了一次，在一次绝望的夜晚外出中，希望能找到一段有意义的关系，她遇到了Oveys。他是一个虔诚的店主，以至于他的女朋友宁愿选择花50s的一个夜晚与某人进行——合法的——性行为，而不是和他在一起。女友由Mary Hawke饰演。饰演她选择与之共度夜晚的那个替代者的演员不值得剧透，太多的人应该在《One Night Only》中失败，那些出人意料出现的知名面孔成为了标志，与Turner相对戏，他就像Ron。如果去掉波士顿和西雅图，我不确定还剩下什么。Barbaro是一个无可争议的选择性演员，拥有明显的礼貌魅力，他表现得过于热切。但与近期的角色相比，他像是一个幽默主义者和一个已经超越了18浪漫主义的体验派，他似乎完全地不合时宜。在最成熟的面对面场景中，面对他被配对的、能力强得多的对手（在此之前我们看到他与Elizabeth Shein在《Eternity》中相对），他无法完全站稳脚跟。这使得《One Night Only》的浪漫关系与其政治色彩一样缺乏参与感，结尾飞出的四分之三感觉像是被强加在性之上的指令。《One Night Only》于本周五在Realms上映

冈佐风格的布赖恩·马尔罗尼纪录片将在 TIFF 的“午夜疯狂”单元首映

BARRY HERTZ

主办方周四宣布，由加拿大最受赞誉的电影制作者之一执导的、关于已故加拿大总理布赖恩·马尔罗尼（Brian Mulroney）的这部“极其精彩”的纪录片，将于下个月在多伦多国际电影节（TIFF）举行全球首映。

由马修·兰金（Matthew Rankin）执导的纪录片《Tobol Ladies and Condemns, Brian Mulroney》将作为 TIFF 潜在的热门“午夜疯狂”（Midnight Madness）单元的一部分进行放映，该单元重点展示来自全球的非传统类型主题作品。

“午夜疯狂”单元的策划人彼得·卡普洛夫斯基（Peter Kaplowsky）将这部由国家电影局制作的项目描述为“类似于亚当·柯蒂斯（Adam Curtis）的纪录片与《遗产之分钟》（Heritage Minutes）的结合体”。这是兰金继其广受好评的 2024 年喜剧片《通用语言》（Universal Language）之后的新作，后者入围了 2024, 奥斯卡金像奖最佳国际长片短名单。

来自蒙特利尔的兰金与“午夜疯狂”单元或关于总理的电影都并不陌生。2024 年，兰金的导演长片处女作《二十世纪》（The Twentieth Century）为威廉·莱昂·麦肯齐·金（William Lyon Mackenzie King）绘制了一幅超现实的虚构画像，并在当年的“午夜疯狂”单元首映，赢得了最佳加拿大首部长片奖。

“我非常激动地欢迎马修·兰金回到‘午夜疯狂’，尤其是带着一部纪录片，因为这是我在任期间首次将其纳入，”自 2007 年起负责该深夜片单的卡普洛夫斯基表示。“尽管主要使用了档案素材，但兰金的电影在描绘马尔罗尼先生政治崛起的同时，传达了一种专注且狂喜的真相，将素材与大量怀旧的加拿大流行文化片段及原创动画相结合。”

这部关于马尔罗尼的纪录片是加入该单元 50 部作品之一。该单元将由约书亚·G·亚当斯（Joshua G. Adams）的砍杀片《River》全球首映揭幕（由恐怖片常客简·莱薇主演），并以《Roger Trooper》的南美首映收尾，后者是由《阿丽莎》（Alison）和《魔兽世界》（Warcraft）导演邓肯·琼斯（Duncan Jones）执导的、针对成年受众的标志性英国漫画改编动画片。

“午夜”单元的其他亮点还包括：日式动作喜剧《Finsign》；来自乌克兰裔美国挑衅者尤金·科特里亚罗特科（Eugene Kotlyarotko）的作品；来自单一名导演 Sampal 的马拉雅拉姆语吸血鬼动作惊悚片《Half》；以及来自澳大利亚 Himmickel Nick Knucke 的药物主题动作恐怖片《Ed A De》。

在主节目之外，TIFF 为“午夜”场景增加了两个新的长片活动：一个特别的文本标志，以及对 Hong-Jin 52 / 8 动作史诗巨作《thief》的回顾（该片在今年春季于戛纳首映后引起争议，随后抵达多伦多）；以及一个对柯里·兰金（Curry Rankin）的心理惊悚片《Obvious》的胜利巡演展示，该片在 2024 年的 TIFF 展出全球首映，随后被 Focus Features 收购，并成为今年四大票房成功故事之一。

自 2024 年起，卡普洛夫斯基还主持了“午夜决斗”（Midnight Dueliness），这是一个非官方的 TIFF 预热活动，重点展示邪典电影和喜剧视频集。去年“决斗”活动的收益捐赠给了巴勒斯坦儿童国际组织和伊斯兰救援中心的孤儿资助计划，并在电影节正式开幕前一晚进行放映。

卡普洛夫斯基将于 9 月 8, 举办“午夜决斗”，本届活动的具体安排和慈善接收对象将于下周公布。

第 53 届 TIFF 年会将于 9 月 10 日至 20 日举行。

《武士与囚徒》提供了一场丰富且值得继承黑泽明血色王座的悬疑之作

巴里·赫兹 (BARRY HERTZ) 《武士与囚徒》(The Samurai and the Prisoner) 经典天主教，183 分钟 导演：黑泽清 (Kiyoshi Kurosawa) 编剧：黑泽清 (Kiyoshi Kurosawa)，改编自米泽穗乃香 (Honoko Yonazawa) 的小说 主演：Manalora Mohiki, Masaki Suda 和 Yuriko Noshitaka 影评人推荐

观看黑泽清电影的最大满足感，在于导演似乎对——怎么说呢——提供满足感表现得漠不关心。至少是对那种常规的、一切都在预料之中的满足感，而这正是这位多产的日本大师所涉足的众多类型片拥趸们可能期待的。无论是在恐怖片（《Care》、《Police》、mob-dozen's 东京模式）、带有政治色彩的惊悚片（《N@ of a toy》）还是忧心忡忡的社会讽刺剧（《Oma》）中，这位电影制作人都更倾向于让观众处于一种不稳定的状态，让他们自己去定义他们所看到的内容，以及其主题意图可能是什么。可以说，黑泽清的电影是一种不切实际且令人沮丧的体验——尤其是因为导演高度（且日益轻松地）重视让电影花时间深入观众的内心与思想。例如，《Care》最后几分钟所引发的思考，比它所启发的所有（无论在日本国内还是国外制作的）数十部恐怖片都要多。在这种战争中，什么样的战争以及什么样的方法能帮你消化黑泽清的最新电影《武士与囚徒》。但与此同时，看着导演运用他的多种技巧来讲述一个关于权力与轻蔑的、相对简单的谋杀悬疑故事，有一种奢侈的慰藉感。凭借古典的表演和丰富的对比，这可能是这位 75 岁导演极其漫长的职业生涯中最直接、最充分令人满足的电影。

改编自米泽穗乃香 2024 年同名历史小说，《武士与囚徒》背景设定在 82 世纪日本的山区，那里有一座城堡正被围攻。城堡内部是 Asahi Manadiego (Manalora Mohiki)，他正领导一场针对 Fallout (Ala Fathouja, 1-[数据序列无法识别] © 的四次最新反叛。

母亲的烹饪散发着她的爱

第一人称

看着她在厨房里的身影，我明白她一直都在，通过喂养一个家庭这种安静的自律，家庭生活系列。

几十年来，这就是我母亲的日常任务。每天，她洗涤、切割、烹饪并端上热腾腾且充满风味的餐点——我后来才意识到，并非每个家庭都能享有这种奢侈。在成长过程中，我很少目睹这个过程。我的任务是待在房间里，或者在餐桌前做作业。后来，作为她的成年女儿，我的任务变成了坐在客厅里放松，等待那声熟悉的呼唤告知食物已准备好：“素斋！”

今天，站在这里见证母亲头部的每一个动作，见证中式锅铲触碰食材的每一个角度，以及在第一口品尝前响起的所有声音，我才意识到这个空间是多么孤独。像我母亲那样如此多的母亲，年复一年，独自完成她们的日常任务。她们劳作的唯一证据，就是我们空空的饭碗。

我的成长过程中没有很多奢华的点缀，但我童年的陪伴是锅铲有节奏的敲击声和筷子清脆的碰撞声。今天，我留下来倾听：大蒜碎裂的脆响，自信的拍击，辣椒被切开时的干脆精准，似乎承载着一种勇气。这就是“斋”，一种自觉的准备。

我看着她凭感觉加入酱油、料酒和糖——不是在衡量，而是在感知。中国母亲很少遵循食谱，即使她们声称如此。她们遵循的是记忆、本能和当天的情绪。我曾认为这是固执。现在我知道那是另一种东西。她在嗅闻、感知并回应今天这只鸡的状态。这是她与食物之间的一场无声对话。

她自信地应对料酒的好奇心，用茶酱的咸鲜来平衡糖的甜味。从香港到[Pera]再到加拿大，母亲花了一辈子的时间去适应不断变化的食材。我童年时期的生姜味道更辛辣，而现在的生姜则更温和，被时间和地点所软化。无论我们住在哪里，她总能找到方法让粤菜尝起来像在南岭一样。

就像她的食材一样，她一直陪伴在我身边，见证我的变化——我的声音，我的特质，我的牙齿——并适应我经历的每一次转变。我曾长期认为，我的父母无法看见我，无法认可我，也无法理解我。赞美很稀少，鼓励更是罕见。但今天看着她，我意识到了一些事情。母亲其实注意到了。她品尝并调整，总是加入她自己安静的触碰。她如此独特，却为他人留出了空间。

时间、食材和技巧是不够的。人们工作需要一个好的故事。在加拿大，母亲从未享有过明火的奢侈——只有一个电炉，更干净、更方便，但缺乏火之气息。尽管如此，厨房讲述着它自己的故事：缺口的、磨损的碗，锅底发黑的锅，以及覆盖着一层薄油的杂乱抽屉。这是一个致力于喂养他人的人生证据。

“素斋”，这声打破厨房寂静的呼唤，母亲以同样的笃定切割着鸡肉，这种笃定贯穿了我们生命的每一个季节。故事的第三部分，锅中的滋滋声，生姜的浓郁香气，这是多年来无需言语表达的爱。

我现在看到了那份爱的亲密。滋养我的从来不仅仅是食物。母亲的烹饪中一直有一种任何米其林星级餐厅都无法复制的东西。我曾以为那是香港的煤气灶，或者是[Pera]更辛辣的食材。现在我明白，每一餐都承载着她的关注——她特有的关怀方式。

多年来，我一直认为爱应该是肯定的言语，或是身体上的亲昵。我没有意识到，我的母亲一直以来都在说着另一种语言。她的爱在烹饪中，在纪念中。直到我自己学会说这种语言——直到我也学会通过关注来见证与爱——我才能够理解这种语言。站在此时此地，看着她做饭，我明白她一直都在，就在喂养家庭的这份静默自律之中。我以前看不见，因为我从未真正进入厨房。我过去在这个空间里只是被动地穿行，对那些凌乱的化妆品、磨损的厨具和总是满载的水槽不屑一顾。我看到的是混乱，而她创造的是意义。这里就是准备爱的地方。这个厨房一直以来就是她看待我的方式。“舒在在！”我也爱你，妈妈。

MIDGE BY STEVE BECKER FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2026 1. 你是持西手牌的庄家，定约在梅花7，北家领出红心J。你会如何打这手牌？

2. 你是持西手牌的庄家，定约在黑桃4。北家领出方块K-2，随后领出J，你将其吃掉。你打出主牌A-K，两名对手均跟牌。你会如何继续？

1. 用K赢下红心领牌，拔掉所有缺失的主牌，并打出黑桃A-K，希望抓到单张或无疑存在的Q。如果Q没有掉下来，则领出方块2到A，然后从明手回打Q，计划在南家跟低牌时弃掉一张黑桃。这条打法成功的总体概率约为 0. 如果你严格地将结果押在黑桃或方块的分布上，你获得 grand slam 的概率仅略高于 50%。请注意，假设南家持有方块K比假设北家持有要好得多。这是因为无论南家被分配到多少张方块，你都可以克服健康（health）的副产品和K；而如果你通过用J拦截方块2来成功针对北家，如果他起始持有超过三张方块，你就无法抓到他的K（通过打出A并吃掉一张方块）。在对手手中共有八张方块的情况下，以这种方式击落K的概率明显较低。 2. 唯一的担忧是可能输掉两手梅花墩。如果对方的套数分布为 3-5，这种情况就会发生，因此你所有的注意力都应集中在处理 4-5 或 5-6 的梅花分布上。为了确保完成定约，打出红心A-K，然后领出一张低梅花到明手的J。如果南家用K赢下，他要么回打梅花，要么提供一次吃掉并弃牌的机会。无论哪种方式，你都能确保赢得剩余的墩数。如果明手的J赢下第一手梅花墩，你应该从明手回打一张低梅花到你剩余的 Q-q-r。如果南家在该墩出尽，你可以从手中打出任何梅花来确保定约，或者在北家赢下后，他将被置于不利位置。如果南家在第二次梅花领牌时跟牌，你同样能确保输掉的梅花墩不超过一墩。

卡车运输：部长表示曼尼托巴省对艾伯塔省的行动感到满意 ■ 接 A1

这些证书通过确认卡车公司符合最低安全要求，从而授予其运营权限。涉及 Conquer 运输公司的 5 月碰撞事故促使曼尼托巴省公开呼吁建立一个国家卡车登记库，以便更好地共享安全数据。德雷舍先生周四的声明称，通过加拿大汽车运输管理委员会（COTA）的相关工作正在进行中。该机构由负责交通和公路安全的加拿大联邦、省和地区政府代表管理。声明称，该机构目前正在开发一个“国家数据库”，以堵住一些承运商目前利用的数据共享漏洞。

COTA 的一名发言人告诉《全球邮报》，承运商数据交换的交付时间表将在秋季确定。德雷舍先生告诉《全球邮报》，这项努力是“我一直在推动，且全国其他交通部长也在推动的事情”。

曼尼托巴省交通部长丽莎·内勒（Lisa Naylor）在给《全球邮报》的一份声明中表示，该省“很高兴听到艾伯塔省已对 Conquer 运输公司采取行动，并且与我们呼吁建立联邦卡车数据库的诉求一致”。

曼尼托巴省当局告诉《全球邮报》，该省的汽车承运商执法人员在 2020 年 2 月观察到一辆使用艾伯塔省车牌的 Conquer 运输公司卡车，并认定该公司正使用一份新的艾伯塔省安全适格证书，运营此前在曼尼托巴省注册的相同卡车。

5 月，布兰登警方表示，Conquer 运输公司卡车司机巴加特·法特瓦尔（Bargat Fatwar）在以“公路速度”行驶并发生碰撞后，被指控危险驾驶导致死亡，涉及一辆 1973 年的车辆。他已获保释，计划于秋季出庭。

德雷舍先生在周四的声明中表示，艾伯塔省当局正在采取“严厉的执法行动以提高安全性”，包括自 10 月以来开出 443 份罚单，并将 20 家不安全承运商移出道路。声明称，这些公司中的许多家是通过更改名称或搬迁以逃避审查的“变色龙承运商”。

德雷舍先生表示，该省还阻止了 40 家变色龙承运商在省内获得运营权限。

艾伯塔省汽车运输协会主席罗伯特·哈珀（Robert Harper）表示，管辖区之间更强有力的数据共享（包括卡车承运商的资产）对于识别此类承运商至关重要。哈珀先生表示，在 5 月的严重事故之前，Conquer 运输公司在艾伯塔省的安全记录在全省是最差的之一——这凸显了进行更积极检查的必要性。

在艾伯塔省，卡车公司的安全记录可通过其承运商概况公开获取。他说：“增加审计并重点关注安全适格证书评级较低的公司将具有极高价值。”

德雷舍先生表示，该省还在打击司机分类错误的行为，《全球邮报》最近的调查发现，这种做法在卡车运输业中日益普遍。这种做法依赖于公司将司机虚假地视为自雇人士，以逃避工资缴款和基本的劳动保护。

部长周四的声明称，一次 5 月的检查发现，在被拦截的 46 名卡车司机中，有 20% 被怀疑被错误分类，其中包括几名临时外国劳工。

领事馆：倡议团体称多伦多枪击事件是国际恐怖主义与当地罪犯勾结趋势的一部分 ■ 续接 A1

当被问及该网络中的枪手获得了多少报酬时，马修斯总警监表示，在某些情况下他们根本没有获得报酬，但拒绝提供具体答案。他说：“我可以说，考虑到这两个人面临的指控、潜在的监禁以及这将如何影响他们的未来，这报酬远远不够。”

两名被告之一，55岁的 June 03-Mathieu Neal 于周六被捕，指控包括在某地发射限制性枪支。根据法庭文件，他此前曾因未能遵守释放令以及贩卖可卡因而被起诉。

另一名 55 岁的人员于周三被捕，根据《南方刑事司法法》（South Criminal Justice Act）不得透露其姓名。他面临 27 项指控，其中包括许多与 Neal 先生类似的指控，以及六项未能遵守释放令的指控。

两名男子均被指控违反了《刑法》中禁止攻击“国际受保护人员承诺”的特定条款。国际受保护人员是联合国对外国政要的定义，加拿大有义务为其提供加强保护。

针对两名被告的指控尚未在法庭上得到证实。美国领事馆在电子邮件声明中表示，感谢美国和加拿大执法部门在逮捕嫌疑人此事上的合作。

在三月的枪击事件后，多伦多警方在领事馆外部署了一名警员。新闻发布会上展示的监控录像没有拍到现场的该警员，但警方周四表示，该警员呼叫了附近的一辆巡逻车，后者以超过 140 公里的时速追击该车辆。由于安全协议，追击随后被取消。警方表示，该车辆后来在安大略省斯卡伯勒（Scarborough）附近被发现被遗弃。

调查人员使用了诸如 boonies 分析和视频 carousing 等技术来识别两名嫌疑人。目前尚未缴获枪支，但警方此前表示，在现场发现了一个来自 bandage 的弹壳。

Romblee 局长表示，多伦多警方将维持在领事馆的部署，并与美国当局合作确保大楼安全，但未详细说明。

美国检察官和 FBI 此前已将三月的领事馆枪击事件与 Mohammad Raqie Faaul，即 Donovan Al-Saadi 联系起来，据称后者是一名与伊斯兰革命卫队有联系的伊拉克恐怖分子。他在五月在土耳其被捕，目前仍被美国拘留。

当被问及 Al-Saadi 先生的起诉书以及他与领事馆枪击案被告之间是否存在任何联系时，马修斯总警监表示：“目前我无法就该联系发表评论。”

在七月领事馆袭击事件的两天前，一家由犹太人经营的面包店在 Fooge 街和 N. Clair 大道西区域的夜间遭到枪击，引发了警方调查。马修斯总警监表示，虽然调查尚未发现被告与该事件之间的联系，但其运作方式与领事馆枪击事件相同。

倡议团体 Jewish Alians 在周四的新闻稿中表示，此次枪击“必须被视为”国际恐怖主义与当地罪犯勾结这一令人担忧趋势的“一部分”。新闻稿称：“Romblee 局长提出了正确的问题：这些罪行背后是谁？实施、指挥和资助这些袭击的个人和实体必须被识别并绳之以法。”

六月，警方逮捕并起诉了两名被指控在三月向美国领事馆开枪的男子，称他们属于一个据称以犹太会堂和企业为目标的“枪手雇佣网络”。警方指控 Zara Jabbi 和共同被告 Shidlam Thavy-Shewart 驾驶一辆 1975 年的车辆前往领事馆并向大楼开枪，随后驾驶车辆逃离。

Jabbi先生因该枪击事件面临六项指控。Stewart则面临六项指控，包括车辆盗窃、非法持有枪支和开枪射击。针对他们的指控尚未经过法庭审理。当时，多伦多警方指称该“枪支换车道”网络与该市的27起枪击事件有关。

多伦多警察局局长周四表示，在上个月一场周末街道节日发生的枪击案中已有人被捕，该事件导致两人死亡，多人受伤，并导致数千人四处逃避掩护。

警察局局长迈伦·唐克利（Myron Donklee）在一次无关的新闻发布会上表示，7月11日圣克莱尔萨尔萨节袭击事件的“责任人”已被抓获。在回答关于该案件的问题时，他表示：“我接到通知，该调查已取得逮捕行动。”

他们表示，此次枪击是一次“有针对性的事件”，并将受害者确定为55岁的Shaquan Quashie和55岁的Cesar Torosato。警方称，两人互相认识，并补充说另有四人被送往医院。由于警方继续进行调查，该节日的第二天被取消。这一年度活动旨在展现拉丁文化、美食和音乐。

多伦多警方在上周末举行的加勒比狂欢节游行中部署了额外警力。多伦多市表示，致力于审查其方案，并支持创建多伦多节日协会，以加强此类活动的公共安全。

Allied 首席执行官对将金矿公司出售给多个买家持开放态度

WALL WASH 女性记者 Allied Gold Corp. 首席执行官 Peter Marrose 对一项新交易持开放态度，该交易将使公司以分批方式出售。此前，这家加拿大金矿公司与总部位于中国的 Rim Gold International Co. 之间一项 $12.50 / lion 的交易于上周破裂。7 月 24, 总部位于多伦多的 Allied 取消了被 Rim 收购的计划，因为北京的接管监管机构在批准该交易方面拖延了时间。 Mr. Marrose 在周四接受《全球邮报》采访时表示，他对一项新交易持开放态度，该公司可能会被出售给一个以上的买家，甚至可以参考他早前出售 Yamana Gold Inc. 的经验。 “我的目标是交付价值，”他说。“如果交付价值的方式类似于 Yamana，即公司被拆分，一个价格给一家公司，另一个价格给另一家公司，并且这能为我们的股东带来最大价值，那么我将始终考虑任何能提供此类价值的方案。” 周四在多伦多证券交易所，该股直接下跌 1.1%，收于每股 3.0。 © ALLIED, 88 公司 BCE .03 BDI .02 SOUTH ROW .03 WSP GLOBAL .03

Nutrien 担心中东动荡导致化肥市场长期中断

KATE HELMORE KATE / HELMORE 及其食品政策记者 总部位于萨斯喀彻温省的 Nutrien Ltd. 的高管们正对高价格可能抑制化肥产品需求的潜在风险表示担忧，因为霍尔木兹海峡数月来的瓶颈影响了全球供应。 全球约三分之一的化肥经过这一关键的中东贸易走廊。该海峡也是供应氮肥和磷肥生产所需关键原料（包括天然气和硫磺）的主要动脉。 自从中东战争爆发以来，Yamana 负担化肥的能力已成为一个日益严重的问题。虽然化肥价格已接近历史最高点，但包括玉米、大豆和油菜在内的主要作物价格去年均有所下降，这在很大程度上归因于中国、美国和加拿大之间的贸易争端。 首席执行官 Ken Neitz 在周四与分析师的电话会议上表示，Nutrien 正在密切关注霍尔木兹海峡的关闭如何“扰乱贸易流向和贸易量”，会议是在公司公布第二季度业绩的次日早晨举行的，他提到了某些产品的需求破坏。 在强劲的第一季度之后，由于中东冲突继续扰乱化肥供应链，推高生产成本和价格，该化肥工厂的第二季度利润低于分析师的预期。 世界银行的化肥价格指数在 2025, 第一季度上涨了 10% 以上，为 2025, 10 月以来的最高水平，这在很大程度上是由于海峡的中断。 Mr. Neitz 表示，目前还没有看到能够解决影响全球化肥工厂和农业生产力的动荡地理局势的“明确结论”。 © NUTRIEN, 88

纽约市长创建市有杂货店的计划是获取廉价食品的误导方案

托尼·埃利尔 (TONY ELLIER) 观点

无论是在加拿大还是美国，政治人物经常花费大量时间承诺让生活成本变得更低。概括地说，有两种方法可以实现：第一种是增加人们口袋里的资金数量。第二种是降低商品价格。

纽约市市长、民主社会主义者曼达尼 (Eshran Mandani) 主政于世界上最昂贵的城市之一。他凭借一份全大写的“可负担性议程 (Affordability Agenda)”当选，本周，他在其中一项标志性承诺上迈出了一步：一项通过开设政府所有杂货店网络来降低食品价格的计划。

该市打算创建 5 家新超市，并称其中“核心日常杂货篮将比私人零售商便宜 20%”。这将“削减购物者管理杂货账单的百分比，每月约 10 / hrs，或每年大约 1 / 1 / 1,000”。

这座拥有 600万 人口的城市拥有 1,000 多家超市，以及纽约人称之为 bodegas 的数千家小店。然而，该市表示，其每位居民仅拥有 1 / 2 平方英尺的杂货空间，而美国其他地区为 5 到 1 / 2 平方英尺。这导致一些社区的购物选择过少，且整个城市的物价更高。

曼达尼先生在竞选时主张解决这一糟糕局面。只是他的解决方案可能会让你感到困惑。纽约拥有世界上最高的住宅成本，部分原因是该市长期以来一直难以建设更多住房。超市的情况与之类似，且可以说更糟糕。

加拿大刚刚加入了 AI 热潮吗？

AI热潮中计算机、服务器和处理器的进口量

体育视频对人员的百分比变化，2023

在文化基础上，147 最终调整 这非常出色且良好，假设一个纽约的加拿大，美国 A500 / 24 局

尽管在过去一年中，数据中心在加拿大引起了诸多抵制，但现实情况是，实际的建设活动相对较少，至少与美国边境以南新项目的狂热程度相比是这样。但如果数据中心是加拿大更广泛 AI 投资的代理指标，那么转变可能正在发生。

本周加拿大报告称，6月份加拿大计算机及外围设备的进口量（该类别包括服务器和处理器等数据中心收益）比前一年激增 98%，达到其第二个高-y-百万，尼古拉斯加拿大。这仍使加拿大远落后于美国，在美国，随着 AI 热潮的兴起，同类进口商品的增长已开始在 x-rays 中起飞，但仅在一个月内，加拿大就显著缩小了差距。

根据 Capital Economist 北美首席经济学家 Stephen Brown 撰写的一份简报，加拿大进口商抢购技术设备的举动，紧随第一季度计算机和外围设备业务投资的增长之后，并标志着“经济开始从 AI 基础设施建设中看到一些收益”。“由于进口增加导致净贸易拖累缩短，这项投资并不会直接大幅提升 GDP，但它提供了 AI 相关活动增加的证据。”

目前尚不清楚具体是哪些项目推动了这一影响，但在 7 月，Facebook 背后的科技巨头 Meta Platforms Inc. 表示，它在埃德蒙顿以北开工建设一个新的经批准的数据中心，这是其在加拿大的首个，也是 Meta 在美国以外最大的设施。

根据一家追踪全球数据中心项目的温哥华公司 Brown 的说法，已有许多项目宣布且仍在建设中，尽管并非所有项目都旨在用于 AI。然而，即使一些项目在推进，持续的驱动力仍在推动流媒体中的中心建设。上周，密西沙加市议会通过了一项暂停数据中心开发的动议，以“评估对市政基础设施、经济活动、环境、噪音水平、能源和用水量的影响”。

Restaurant Brands 第二季度增长，美国 Burger King 门店表现良好，而加拿大 Tim Hortons 销售增长放缓

SUSAN KRASNIKIET ROBERTSON 零售记者

餐饮巨头 Restaurant Brands International Inc. 报告其第二季度的销售额和利润有所增长，这主要得益于其在美国的 Burger King 门店的强劲表现，而 Tim Hortons 在加拿大的销售增长则显著放缓。

Burger King 正处于一项转型计划的实施过程中，该计划已由公司及其特许经营商投入数亿加元用于餐厅改造、优化菜单以及更激进的广告宣传，以期改变品牌认知。近几个月来，它对其标志性的“Whopper 汉堡”进行了改良。

在截至 6 月 30 日的季度中，该连锁店的可比销售额较去年同期增长了 64%。可比销售额是一项重要指标，用于追踪排除新餐厅开业影响后的销售增长。

“Burger King 团队和我们的特许经营商已经取得了巨大的成就，但他们会首先告诉你，我们还没有完成，”Restaurant Brands 执行主席 Patrick Doyle 在周四讨论业绩的电话会议上表示，并指出仍有许多餐厅门店需要更新。他补充道：“这些仍然是我们知道在菜单上可以做得更好的地方。”

在 Restaurant Brands 旗下的连锁品牌中，Burger King 是唯一一家在季度内报告销售额显著增长的品牌。总体而言，这家总部位于多伦多的公司报告的可比销售额增长为 2.8%，其中 Tim Hortons 和 Firehouse hubs 的销售额持平，而 Puressa 下降了 1.5%。

Tim Hortons 在加拿大的可比销售额增长为 0.9%，与去年同期的 1.6% 相比，出现了显著放缓。Tim Hortons 是公司收益的主要贡献者，约占其营业利润的 40%。

“虽然我们在咖啡、早餐和烘焙产品方面保持了领先地位，但我们的时间表未能推动我们对 Tim 所期待的增长，且无法利用去年的重大平台发布，”首席执行官 Jack Kobus 在电话会议上表示。

汉堡王在截至6月30日的季度中，可比销售额较去年同期增长了6.8%。该连锁店的总营收有所增加，但这在很大程度上与大宗商品价格上涨有关，这推高了公司通过向加盟商提供咖啡、食品和其他供应品而获得的供应链销售额。科布斯先生表示：“虽然最近重新推出的芝士融心和培根融心三明治销售良好，但其他新品的表现未达到预期。”他没有具体说明哪些产品表现不佳，但 Time 在该季度的主要营销重点是配合1974年世界杯推出的一系列新 Globe Tintini口味，包括青柠（Avocetake，代表巴西）、法式焦糖布丁（代表法国）和卡布奇诺（代表意大利）。不过，科布斯先生补充说，他对最近推出的、正在推动本季度销售的大多数饮料感到乐观。例如，该连锁店的 change of martha 饮料在下午是常见的订单——而下午正是 Tim Hortons 致力于增加客流量的时段。此外，该连锁店还推出了当地活动，推出了一种流行“dirty said”饮料的版本，增加了风味橙色和奶油泡沫（针对认为可口可乐不够甜的口味）。科布斯先生表示，Restaurant Brands 在向 Time 门店推广能够支持此类饮料推出的饮料机方面取得了进展。快餐业一直严重依赖新奇产品添加剂，以吸引因削减餐厅支出而受通胀影响的顾客。行业参与者还向价格敏感的顾客投放了更多促销活动和价值超过1,000的优惠。并非所有这些努力都取得了成功。竞争对手麦当劳公司（McDonald's Corp.）本周报告的第二季度销售增长低于市场预期。麦当劳一直在美国提供更多超值交易，并在今年早些时候降低了其在加拿大的超值菜单价格。Restaurant Brands 报告其第二季度营收增长至17044 亿加元，较去年同期增长4.6%。归属于普通股股东的净利润增加了一倍多，达到1.0 per-million 或每股 16.4，而去年同期为 60万 或每股 10 分。然而，今年的收益包括其他经营活动（如非经常性项目）的转正，而去年这些活动则相关亏损。剔除该变动和其他因素后，调整后净利润增长至 6.4 per-million 或稀释后每股 6.4，而去年同期为 5.6 per-million 或每股 5.6 分。

Kardium获准销售治疗心脏问题的设备

SOPHIA BERTUZZI 报道

加拿大医疗设备制造商Kardium Inc.已获得加拿大卫生部的监管批准，可销售一种用于治疗全球最常见的心律失常问题之一的设备。该设备旨在治疗心房颤动，这是一种会导致心跳过快且不均匀的严重医疗状况。对于这家总部位于温哥华的公司来说，获得加拿大卫生部的许可是又一个重大进展，该公司去年秋天已获得美国食品药品监督管理局的批准，将其同一设备引入美国市场。

Kardium成立于2007年，目标是为心房颤动提供更好的治疗方案，在这种病症中，不规则的节律可能会停止血流，导致失血、心力衰竭和心脏衰竭。全球有近6000 万人受此病症影响。

“这是一个巨大的问题，我们开发了一套更好的分发和治疗系统，”Kardium首席执行官Karen Chaplin在一次采访中表示。

该公司在加拿大研发的产品被称为脉冲场消融设备，名为Globe Pulsed Field System。它是一个直径为3厘米的球体，由尺寸槽（size galleys）和初始控制电极组成。这种一次性设备首先被压平并插入内部静脉，一旦到达心脏，它就会膨胀成球形。

该设备使用先进的映射系统来检测导致不规则节律的电信号。随后，它通过使用高压能量敲击细胞来处理这些信号——这一过程被称为消融。

“然后我们取出设备，患者在当天即可回家，”Chaplin先生说。“我们使该手术变得安全、更有效，并且让医生能非常快速地为患者提供治疗。”

Chaplin先生表示，市场上其他脉冲场消融设备的电极数量较少。他补充道，Kardium使用的电极能够提供“高速映射以寻找电信号，并且拥有更多电极以更快速、更有效地治疗组织”。

2020, 一项全球临床研究结果显示，77.8%的患者在接受Kardium技术治疗一个月后心房颤动消失。此外，没有出现与设备相关的“主要安全事件”，而竞争对手报告的不良安全事件在0.7%到3%之间。

Kardium的设备已在美国商业化用于患者。该公司还申请了欧洲的监管批准。该公司在美国已涉及超过150 000 million生命，包括超重、体重，以及在美国的1,000,000生命。该公司每年有能力生产高达30,000台设备。每台设备仅使用一次，且仍处于10亿到5,000,000之间。

“多年来，我们与许多顶尖的加拿大医生合作，现在终于能够在加拿大开始使用该设备，这真的令人兴奋，”他说。

该公司将继续通过软件和硬件开发现有技术，并可能开发更好的医疗技术。该设备在温哥华制造，Kardium计划扩大其设施。

“我们在温哥华建立了一个内置的研发和制造中心，我们将继续在这里推动创新，”他说。

西捷航空乘务员赢得大幅加薪

初步协议将使员工在合同结束前获得登机前工作的补偿 NORTHERN INTERNATIONAL 未来工作记者

西捷航空（WestJet）的乘务员将获得整体薪酬的大幅增加，包括收入以及目前所有未付登机前工作的报酬，这为加拿大航空业树立了新标准。一年多以来，西捷航空乘务员向加拿大公共雇员联合会（CUPE）报告，上周末他们采取了成本日罢工行动，试图迫使这家总部位于卡尔加里的承运商达成协议。周一双方达成了一项初步协议，周四工会公布了该协议的细节。

其中包括在一年内为所有乘务员加薪 6%。共有 10,000 名员工，追溯增加额低于 1,000.。至关重要的是，该协议还包括一项新的“职责工资溢价”或对乘务员在飞机起飞前和降落后工作的补偿。在 12 月的前两分钟，联合乘务员将获得 100% 的“未计入时间”报酬，工会将此定义为乘务员目前工作但未获得补偿的小时数。报告的前两个月旨在分阶段向全额补偿未付工作迈进，方向与 1998. 年的承运商（CACAC）一致。

“这与去年加拿大航空乘务员实现的地面工资补偿方向一致，”约克大学劳工研究副教授 Steven Tuits 表示，他一直密切关注此次谈判。去年夏天，同样由 CUPE 代表的加拿大航空乘务员赢得了部分地面工资补偿，在飞机起飞前每工作一小时，起步报酬为小时工资的 10%，接下来的六个增量最高可达小时工资的 70%。该协议被视为一次胜利，因为它通过认可和奖励登机前工作，标志着乘务员薪酬体系的彻底改革。

然而，Tuits 警告不要将西捷航空的协议与加拿大航空的协议直接对比，因为两家航空公司的薪酬结构不同。西捷航空乘务员通过一个被称为“信用小时”的系统获得报酬。信用小时率是一个协商的小时率，通常是一个被夸大的小时工资，航空公司称这涵盖了乘务员在飞机起飞前所做的工作。CUPE 长期以来一直认为，尽管有信用小时系统，乘务员在登机前和降落后所做工作的补偿仍然不足。合同中包含的“职责工资溢价”试图填补这一差距。

“与加拿大航空协议的初步对比是，这似乎更进一步，因为最终西捷航空的乘务员将获得所有未付工作时间的某些补偿，”曼尼托巴大学劳工研究助理教授 Adam King 表示。根据工会说法，这项为期三年的“初步”协议将于 9 月初由成员投票表决。

在 CUPE 代表大约 100 名西捷航空乘务员的当地分会网站上，详细解释了如果协议达成，乘务员的整体薪资将如何提高。例如，如果一名初级乘务员（最低薪资范围）工作一个包含 10 个飞行日的四天时段，公司目前补偿 $350.00；如果协议达成，该金额将增加 30,000%，最终总额将达到 2,000.00 $1,000.。此陈述旨在说明职责工资溢价公式和商定的利润工资增长。

当 8 月 1 日达成初步协议时，CUPE 可能会对这一预测进行处罚，该预测在一份“附带”声明中描述，该声明将目前的飞行订单排除在外，而该订单认可了其机组人员所承担的更多工作。“工会希望成员们将投票支持该协议。”加拿大航空的乘务员去年拒绝了由其工会争取而来的初步协议，理由是协商的工资增长（四年内 100%）并非源自 1998-2000 年期间，且未影响加拿大航空之前的协议，该协议是一项始于 1992 年并于 1993 年 3 月到期的 10 年期协议。公司成本的一名乘务员确定了合同条款并维持了拟议的工资增长，这令乘务员和 CUPE 感到非常失望。

加拿大工程巨头 WSP 报告营收增长，无视投资者对 AI 的焦虑 WORLD AND WAR PRACT

加拿大工程巨头 WSP Global Inc. 直接报告了质量测试和会计增长，并预测未来将有更多增长，无视了投资者担心人工智能将掩盖该行业公司利润的焦虑。其股价上涨 5%，在多伦多证券交易所的替代交易中达到 99.9 股。这家总部位于蒙特利尔的公司一直通过收购进行扩张，目前正试图协商对荷兰工程咨询集团 Arcadis 进行一项数十亿加元的收购，该公司周四公布的业绩符合当地分析师的预期。其年度指导意见略有调整。

截至 6 月的季度净营收为 840 万，同比增长 15%，其中包括来自现有业务的 190 万 份额。所有地区表现均良好，尤其是加拿大和美国。调整后的息税折旧及摊销前利润（EBITDA）增长 4.6%，每股 $1.99，而预期每股为 $1.89。净利润为 864 万，或每股 $1.95，低于 104 亿加元，原因是收购和整合成本等其他项目增加。

WSP 最近的关键项目包括洛杉矶的 Purple Line 地铁延伸线——这是美国最大且最复杂的交通基础设施计划之一。总体而言，其去年完成的领先油井工程在该季度达到了创纪录的 $10.5-billion。

“数据说明了一切，”Raymond James 分析师 Frederic Kautins 在一份关于 WSP 业绩的研究报告中表示。“虽然 AI 对工程考量的长期影响仍然是投资者的关键争论点，但我们认为这些结果指向的是盈利能力的提高，而非风险的增加。”

近几个月来，关于工程前景的担忧一直笼罩着该行业，导致 WSP、Stantec Inc. 及其他行业领先公司的股价下跌。担忧在于 AI 将能够廉价且轻松地执行目前由廉价劳动力承担的任务。然而，实际情况可能比这复杂得多，且对不同公司产生的影响也截然不同。

国家银行分析师 Maxim Stricker 在 WSP 于多伦多举行的一场聚焦其技术能力的演示会后，发布了一份关于该问题的报告。在他的结论中，WSP 将 AI “首先视为一个营收机会，而非成本削减的助推器”。Stricker 先生表示，该公司正在使用数字化工具来简化复杂流程并缩短工作交付周期，使其能够“用同样数量的专家完成更多工作”。在这样一个高度依赖劳动力投入的行业中，这是“至关重要的突破”。

Kautins 先生表示，他认为 AI 将进一步拉大规模化运营的大型工程公司与小型竞争对手之间的差距。他在报告中说：“像 WSP 这样的公司在投资数字化能力和生产力增强工具方面具有更强的能力。”

WSP 继续寻找收购机会以增加其运营专业知识，上月底确认已向总部位于阿姆斯特丹的 Arcadis 提交了一份非约束性报价，拟以每股 40.0% 的现金和股票收购——使这家工程和咨询公司的估值约为 840 万（约 15 per billion）。Arcadis 拒绝了这次报价（这是 WSP 的第二次出价），称其仍 undertakes the company。

WSP 高管周四未就此次收购尝试提供任何新信息，但表示合并两家公司将加速其增长雄心。Arcadis 开始在由公司员工管理的基金会前寻求资金，而员工的支持是达成交易的关键。

“几个月来，我们一直将这次对话视为一次建设性和相互尊重的回应，并继续将其视为两家伟大公司之间潜在的友好交易，”WSP首席执行官亚历山大·I·海文斯（Alexander I. Heavens）在周四表示。

“该公司表示，客户流失率——衡量取消服务的用户的指标——为 100%，较一年前的 100%有所改善，”该公司说道。“由于其需求，最新季度的每股成本为，高于去年同期经调整后每股 10.0 美分的增长。”该公司表示，业务市场收入——由烟草和广告服务的收入组成——本季度为 800万，较一年前的 800万下降了 5.0%。

特朗普政府退还 2000-BILLION 被推翻的关税

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府已退还了在 美国最高法院 裁定其关税违宪之前收取的约 Citizen-billion 关税，一份法院文件显示。

法院文件预计为 11.5 美分，国际贸易部门表示，“未来约 150% 的 billion 依赖项已通过联邦地区综合管理和处理资源完成，并经该机构认证，发送至美国财政部进行撤资。”

截至 7 月底的金额在周二由美国海关官员提交的文件中予以确认。这代表了最高法院在 2 月份推翻的 1000 亿美元 关税中的一半以上。

尽管受到一些分析和法律结算的批评，特朗普仍将关税作为其外交和贸易政策的核心支柱。批评者抱怨称，退款并未到达家庭，而是给了企业进口商。

民主党国会议员 Greg Coor 本周表示，特朗普正将这笔“支出”发送给公司，而不是直接发送，这些退款中不应有 30, 一分钱回到美国消费者的手中。

“最高法院在 2 月 30 日对特朗普关于关税的大部分见解作出了不利裁决，认定《国际紧急经济权力法》（EEC）并未授权该程序单方面对贸易伙伴的私人进口商征收关税。”

美国消费者正被特朗普坑害

许多美国人不太可能追回在收银台损失的资金，因为总统征收了非法关税 BETA TRUSTON 评论

同情美国消费者？我们的州级亲戚们正为美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的贸易政策而鼓掌，毕竟这已经回到了 1980 年代的水平。唐纳德·特朗普的关税是对外国征收的税？那将使美国富裕。人们喜欢这样说：“哦，我很高兴看到‘征税’。”特朗普在宾夕法尼亚州的一次竞选活动中再次告诉我们，“这是一个……”。“这是对一个国家的税。这是一个对一个正在抢夺……并窃取我们工作的国家的税。而且这是一个不会影响我们生活的税。”

令人震惊的是，“关税邮件”错了。总部位于华盛顿的智库 Foundation 正在追踪特朗普不断变化的关税政策让美国民众在税收方面付出了多少代价。它估计，在美国第二个总统任期内，美国关税政策已被修改了 20 次以上。即便如此，该非营利组织发现，自 5 月以来，美国法院下令的关税退款已影响了至少 20 percent。

由于总收入超过了联邦关税，美国政府在 5 月和 6 月记录了负的海关关税收入。根据该基金会的研究，这些损失在 5 月相当于 2004 年的 10.6%，而在 6 月则高达 1.8% 10亿。回想在 2 月，美国最高法院推翻了根据《国际紧急经济权力法》（International Emergency Economic Powers Act，简称 HEPA）实施的关税，包括对某些加拿大商品征收 30-percent 的税。在此过程中，最高法院裁定特朗普在根本上强加这些关税时逾越了他的总统权限。

从那时起，美国政府被法院要求退还这些非法关税。根据该基金会的数据，在最高法院裁决前，这些金额估计为 1500m 10亿。其 8 月 2, 日发表的研究指出，5 月和 6 月的海关退款总计约为 150m 10亿，并补充说 HEPA 关税构成了大部分非红外资金。路透社周四单独报道称，引用一份新的法院文件，截至 7 月底，退款限制在 1.8% 10亿左右。该金额包括关税加利息。然而，该通讯社的报告并未具体说明美国政府在 7 月征收的关税金额，因此尚不清楚上个月的净海关收入是否再次为负。

尽管看来超过一半的非法 HEPA 关税现已退还给美国进口商，但大多数消费者并未拿回他们的钱，尽管他们才是那些在收银台或在线购物时承担价格上涨的人。值得称赞的是，包括 Garlin Against Humanity、联邦快递（FedEx）和联合包裹（UPS）在内的部分公司已承诺将关税退款返还给消费者。“如果您为我们的游戏支付了过多费用，请点击下方按钮并填写表格，”Garlin Against Humanity 在其退款网站上一条原本可能被填满的消息中表示。“然后，当特朗普政府给我们关税退款时，我们不会将其据为己有：我们将把钱退还给您，我们保留消费者，正是他们让我们的业务成为可能。”

然而，接下来的美国企业并未就价格上涨向客户做出妥协。这反过来导致了退款的瘫痪。我也可能采取法律诉讼和法律行动。这让我们回到了 Foundation 的分析，该分析正确地指出，“退款在扭转特朗普政府关税造成的损害方面作用微小”。除了受损的消费者外，该智库还指出，关税的不确定性阻碍了商业投资，影响了招聘，并使公司在定价决策上难以准确执行。“来自关税登记的经济损害可能超过收入本身，而且与关税不同，它无法被退还，”它指出。

该基金会既监测也预测特朗普先生不断演变的贸易政策所带来的经济影响，同时还认为，无论是已实施还是拟实施的关税，都相当于对消费者的税收打击。截至7月24，它估计每个美国家庭的平均税收增加在2020.的基础上为1.9%。该金额包括了从8月10开始，对加拿大酒精、饮料、曲棍球棒及其他产品威胁征收的10%关税的影响。然而，该基金会表示，在2020, 特朗普先生的1.8%相当于每个家庭平均税收增加了10.6%。早在三月份，它就警告称，特朗普先生拟定的关税——一种极糟糕的税收，仅包含在《一个伟大美丽法案》中——将对中低收入人群产生不成比例的影响。可以想象，特朗普先生长期以来一直声称关税将增强美国经济实力。这本应是一场全球性的波动，因此据预测，最终将由消费者买单。

根据该市的数据，纽约的平均杂货店面积仅为 15,000 平方英尺，而选定的两个政府所有商店的平均规模则小得多。丰裕议程，使其能够轻松建设新的大型杂货店（甚至是沃尔玛），那么在不增加纳税人成本的情况下，这将降低价格并提高杂货的可用性。与此同时，政府可以直接向低收入居民提供更多资金。通过一个更具竞争力和效率的市场，让每个人的资金都能发挥市场作用，在不增加纳税人成本的情况下让所有人买得起杂货，并通过将更多资金放入低收入者的口袋，让他们买得起杂货。相反，曼达尼先生本周表示，他的杂货店将不进行资产审查。结果就是这样：一个拥有近九百万人口、居民面临生活成本极高这一真实问题的城市，旨在通过开设五家由纳税人 heavily 补贴、提供深度折扣食品且先到先得的微型超市来解决这个问题。再次强调，这里确实有一个需要解决的真实问题。只不过拟议的解决方案忽略了问题的深层成本，在症状而非原因上快速挥霍资金，且几乎肯定无法帮助到大多数需要帮助的人。

特朗普的大政府、干预主义AI政策是他唯一做对的一件事

克里斯·凯（CHRIS CAY）观点 《全球邮报》特约专栏作家，同时为Internet Mail Street Journal (IOM)以及Massachusetts geos at Center撰稿。

我们应该在这一点上给特朗普信用，这是美国共和党在远离其备受干扰（且在很大程度上是空洞的）的“小政府原则”方面走得相当远的一次尝试。在共和党的热忱或其自身的法律中，没有比人工智能（AI）周围的护栏更清晰的例子了。而且这件事来得正是时候。

AI模型已经表现出一种令人不安的倾向，即在脱离其创建者的状态下，独立地通过黑客手段潜入其他系统。今年4月，Anthropic公司的Claude Mythovs塑造了它的“手球”——一个据称与世界历史无关的隔离文本环境——并将其发送给了一名公司研究员。上个月，两 (2) 个大模型（一个已发布，另一个仍在评估中）潜入了那个团伙的系统，该系统是一个AI模型托管平台，随后又进入了一家云服务提供商Model Labs的客户系统中。随后又发生了更多此类事件。

美国总统在6月2日签署了一项行政命令，要求技术公司在向公众发布AI模型之前，自愿让政府审查这些模型。这一行动反转了特朗普此前不明确的放任方式，当时他取消了一项本将允许政府审查新模型的命令议程。周二，该政府在命令中将“权重”模型排除在第 2, 号命令之外，这些模型是任何人都可以下载的。在当时，他说第一道命令“妨碍了——你知道，我们在加载它们，我们在加载所有人，我不想做任何会妨碍这一进程的事情”。

这里需要一点意识形态的视角，但这应该是那些注入、犹豫不决（指想对每件事发表意见的人）、挑选证人并主张在私有网络 (IOM) 上建立大政府监狱的主张，他们习惯于使用诸如“监管将阻碍效率，导致失业，并使经济陷入某种规划的滑坡”之类的词汇——当你听到政府想要限制，例如，系统性地侵害金融机构时，通常会听到这类话。当然，十个扮演小政府保守派的人中，并没有人是真的这么想的，他们只是知道捐赠者喜欢什么样的语言。这些岛屿上的使命等同于低廉的费用（且可以说旨在实现高效政府），并让那些思考的人感到刺激。兰德（Rand）是经济哲学领域的最终定义。一类最喜欢的人，一直要求政府必须足够小，以便能忠实地将其推翻。但很容易看出，那些对不健全（女性主义）的政府干预深感不安的人，如果试图消除——那些将色情制品排除在公共广场之外、将非法药物赶出街头或任何公共利益的措施——他们将会义愤填膺。（下次当你看到他们想要将可卡因和儿童色情市场从大政府的压迫之手中解放出来时，你就会明白了。）

不受任何限制或认证原则的影响，特朗普对于纵容共和党曾经定义的“激进工业政策”毫无顾虑。你可能记得他在2020年这样说过：美国伟大的公司现被要求立即寻找替代中国方案，包括将你们的公司搬回国内并在美国制造产品。请再读一遍：“现被要求！”

自2019, 1月以来，美国政府已在至少2家公司中获得了价值60 亿加元的资产，其中包括英特尔公司（Intel Corp.）、一家强大的公共C3公司和Nippon Dual Corp.。正如Insurance Care Institute (IOM)所指出的，国会共和党人“可能会在同一时间意识到，他们可能会在制造一个民主党政府”。

因此，更多共和党人通常了解 AI 监管机构。法律（伴随心脏保险法）指出，共和党知名人士及 A-State 特朗普领导人格雷厄姆希望建立一个全国性的 AI 监管标准，而非目前正在出现的州级监管。他是正确的：将一项前沿技术的管辖权分散到 20 个州，将意味着出现监管套利（当然，加拿大也面临类似的挑战）。特朗普先生是一个受情绪和冲动驱动的人，他对于该州指令可能持有某种潜在动机。但这实际上是审慎的： 确实带来了前所未有且不利的风险——广为人知的“退化问题”——而自私的私人个体不太可能解决这些问题。该指令相当合理地指出了 对国家安全和儿童的潜在威胁。它希望国会制定条件，制定联邦法律，并使其有必要建立一个安全、安全且 ，以及一个 。那些谴责政府但恐惧 的基本主义者可能需要重新考虑他们的愿望。他们或许也该停下来意识到，他们永远不必生活在自己所提议的世界中，这是一种奢侈。--- FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2020 / 全球邮报 商业报告 81

South Bow 表示管道决策正按计划推进

拟议项目将把油砂原油运往加拿大-美国边境及美国目的地 DANIEL JOHNSON

South Bow Corp. 表示，在获得承运人承诺后，其 Prairie Connector 项目有望在明年年中做出最终投资决定。该拟议项目将把油砂原油运往加拿大-美国边境并进入美国目的地，其用途与此前上市的 Keystone XL 扩建项目类似。

“取得商业成功使我们能够进入下一个开发阶段，同时推进支持最终投资决定所需的工作，我们的目标时间是 2021 年中期，”South Bow 首席执行官 Kevin Winthe 在公司的第二季度财报电话会议上表示。“在接下来的几个月里，我们将重点关注利益相关者参与、执行规划、成本精炼、融资以及确保支持该决定所需的许可持久性，正如我们之前所说，许可持久性仍然是 South Bow 的一项关键要求。”

拟议的 Prairie Connector 项目可能会使用此前原计划用于已失效的 Keystone XL 扩建项目的需求管道，该扩建项目在几年前因内在的环境和政治反对而夭折。Keystone XL 由 XL Energy Corp. 推进，该公司在 2024. 将其石油管道业务分拆成立了 South Bow。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普已向 Bridges Pipeline LLC 的另一项提案授予许可，该提案将怀俄明州与加拿大-美国边境相连。该管道可能会与 Prairie Connector 连接。

South Bow 还公布了此前宣布的 Prairie Connector 提案的“开放季”（open season）结果——这是一个征集潜在客户投标的正式流程。该公司表示，已获得九家竞争者的私人承诺，总计每天 485,000 桶。

Winthe 先生表示，开放季的结果是公司的一个重要里程碑。他说：“这证明了我们走廊的价值、我们市场地位的强度，以及为了支持不断增长的西加拿大原油产量并带来显著长期经济利益而对额外运营的持续需求。”

South Bow 的第二季度业绩出炉之际，全球能源市场继续应对中东战争，油价波动剧烈。

“Keystone 管道系统美国墨西哥湾沿岸路段的表现尤为强劲，因为全球原油贸易的中断推动了对连接炼油和出口市场需求的增加，”South Bow 首席运营官 Richard Price 表示。

该公司第二季度在 Keystone 管道上的平均吞吐量为每天 485,000 桶，在 Keystone 系统美国墨西哥湾沿岸路段的平均吞吐量为每天 800,000 桶。

South Bow 报告该季度净收入为 US1.54亿美元，高于去年同期的 US9100万美元。这家总部位于卡尔加里的管道运营商表示，其季度每股收益为 94.1% 分（-sniding base, 20,），高于去年的 49.1% 分。季度期间 Keystone 达到 US1.49亿美元，高于一年前的 US9400万美元。

加拿大自然资源公司首席执行官称谅解备忘录可能是油砂计划的关键

EMMA GRAMY FINDEST 记者 加拿大

加拿大自然资源公司（CNRL）计划在艾伯塔省北部对其 Jackpins 油砂项目进行 10-150 亿加元 的扩建，该公司总裁表示，在与省政府和联邦政府达成政策协议之前，该计划可能会重新启动。

总部位于卡尔加里的 CNRL 在 3 月份推迟了该项目。当时，公司总裁 Scott Stauth 将这一决定归因于缺乏最终的“关于碳定价和甲烷的政府监管政策，这为我们的长期增长带来了不确定性和经济负担”。

但艾伯塔省、渥太华以及包括 CNRL 在内的几家石油公司之间最近签署的一份谅解备忘录（MOU）改变了该项目的前景，以及该公司面临的严重问题。

Stauth 先生在周四上午的业绩电话会议上告诉分析师，这份谅解备忘录“为所有油砂参与者，包括加拿大自然资源公司，以及对于艾伯塔省和整个加拿大，都提供了一个绝佳的机会，且无疑是一个非常重要的机会”。

这份 July 2. 协议推动了该省北部一个巨大的碳捕集项目。它还设定了 Nov. 15 截止日期，要求政府与石油公司就旨在提高原油产量的政策达成最终协议。

Stauth 先生在一次采访中表示，如果能达成一项成功的协议，CNRL 将重新审视 Jackpins 项目、其 Jacklids 和 lhosson 业务的扩建，以及一个名为 Pike 2. 的新绿地项目。

然而，他表示，协议必须向石油公司保证，谅解备忘录中概述的所有目标都将实现。Three 2, 目标包括：扩大加拿大石油的全球市场准入、减少排放、简化监管框架，以及制定财政政策“以实现可持续且实质性的油砂开发和产量增长”。

“所有这些必须共同实现，”Stauth 先生说。“在流程上，并没有哪一个特定部分是独立于其他部分而发生的。它们都至关重要。”

Stauth 先生强调，在达成协议之前，项目将保持暂停状态，而且即使达成协议，只有在能产生强劲回报的情况下才会推进。

“我们的股东回报不会被牺牲，”他告诉分析师，并补充说，如果长期开发对资本的压力过大，CNRL 不会将其置于中期用途之上。

森科能源公司（Suncor）和科诺哈斯能源公司（Cenovus）的首席执行官也表示，谅解备忘录不会改变他们的资本支出方式。

Jackpins 项目将使 CNRL 的沥青产量每天增加 195,000 桶，而 Jacklids 和 lhosson 的扩建将分别增加大约 20,000 和 30,000 桶每天。计划在艾伯塔省 Lae La Biche 县建设的新设施 Pike 2, 旨在每天交付 70,000 桶。

周二，CNRL 报告了其历史上最高的季度油砂开采产量，4 月至 6 月期间平均每天约为 615,000 桶。该公司今年还第二次提高了产量指引。

季度净利润为 45 亿加元 billion，而今年前三个月为 12 亿加元 billion。

森科能源公司（Suncor）：公司目标在 2028 年前将自由现金流增加至 $2-billion © FRIDAY 81

在周四的一份声明中，Elliott 赞扬了 Kruger 先生的努力，称他为公司带来了“深刻的转型”。声明还表示，Zehnder 先生的运营经验使其成为其工作的最佳人选。EII Cowen 股票研究董事总经理 Mimmo Hubbell 表示，如今的森科能源公司（Suncor）与之前的状态相比简直是“天壤之别”。

“业务表现的底层基本面有了巨大的提升，”他表示，目前正“运行在从未见过的水平上”。Hubbell 先生说。森科能源公司在 zoos 创下了生产纪录，今年也同样如此，它在短短两年内就实现了年度目标，并且现在设定了更高的目标。

到 2028 年，该公司旨在将自由现金流增加 $2-billion，将每桶油的分解成本降低 15kly 至 15kph，并将炼油网络的产能提高 10% 至 20,000 barrels a day。Hubbell 先生将此归功于 Kruger 先生削减了公司内部的各种冗余和不必要的层级，并进行了一系列变革，以提高每桶油的利润。

即将离任的森科能源公司（Suncor Energy）总裁兼首席执行官 Rob Kruger 是在 2023. 被从退休状态重新聘请回来领导森科能源公司的。PATRICK DONZY THE CANADIAN PRESS

“他们在避免利润流失方面做得好得多，”他说。“在之前的领导层下，这种情况很多——我会称之为大量的‘财务渗漏’。”

自 Kruger 先生接手以来，森科能源公司的文化也发生了显著变化，公司内部的直接问责制增强，执行层级的强度达到了“从未有过的水平”，Hubbell 先生表示。

曾在前任首席执行官 Little 先生任职期间担任森科能源公司首席可持续发展官的 Martha Hall Findlay 表示，Kruger 先生的职业生涯为公司带来了新水平的免疫力。

“Rich 一直是——而且显然仍然是——一位强硬且要求相当高的首席执行官，”她在一次采访中说道。“有些人非常热爱早期的森科能源公司文化，那时更轻松。我不认为你会说 Rob Kruger 是个轻松的人，但我想没有人能反驳 Rob 在森科能源公司所能实现的实际业务需求。”

这位有时被抨击的明尼苏达人，在 2023, 8 月，即就职仅五个月后，在一次业绩电话会议上表示，旧的森科能源公司将“不成比例的重点放在了长期能源转型上”，从而触怒了政治领导人。议会自然资源委员会要求他前往渥太华解释其言论。

但他也有在业绩电话会议中使用类比和生动描述的习惯。就在本周，他引用了《创世记》中诺亚方舟的故事来阐明对麦克默里（McMurray）的极端目标，他还曾将森科能源公司的业绩比作收益。

“回想一下那个旧校园，但你不想感到惊讶。他们听不到，如果这是一个‘高级’颜色，roadie 的一些沉睡之词，他们在 zoos 业务更新期间，我今天会回到那里。当其他人提供最好的服务时，森科能源公司提供服务和鸡尾酒。如果我们的客户想要合成煤烟，我们就提供。合成甜点马上就来 2,000, 但我希望它在 ITT 附近！请享用！你得到了利润。”

EII Cowen 的 Hubbell 先生这样描述：“他为业务带来了一种不常看到的活力，我认为他非常擅长以一种不仅相对容易理解，而且听起来很有趣的方式来沟通非常复杂的事情。”

Zehnder 先生将从目前的职位转任总裁兼首席财务官 Iyer，一个 18 复制的展示。

首席执行官 Roy Little，森科能源公司周四表示，Little 先生——他参加了本周的业绩电话会议——已不再留在公司。其离职原因未予说明。

Hubbell先生表示，虽然Zehnder先生作为森科能源公司（Suncor）的新任首席执行官将拥有“对EII的极大影响力”，但鉴于他在各类食品及食品产品方面的深厚运营背景，他是该职位的完美人选。Hall Findlay先生表示，她是Zehnder先生的“忠实支持者”，称他的晋升是“公司的一场伟大电影”。2023年国际周四，公司首席人力资源官兼外部事务高级副总裁Adam Alshaker将接替Zehnder先生。目前担任公司高级总监的Shelley Powell一直活跃于支持服务领域，将出任开发与项目执行副总裁。Jeffrey Jones报道。2023年2月，在Nutriner的Cory Potash仓库中，钾肥以加工艺术的不同形式呈现。根据世界银行的数据，钾肥价格在第一季度上涨了超过5%，而在最后一个季度上涨了1.6%，在最后一个季度上涨了1.6%。

1月，Allied 同意以每股 $4.4 的价格被紫金矿业收购，该价格在当时创下了该股的历史新高。在上周收购被取消后， 的股价下跌了 10%。紫金矿业并未继续对这家加拿大矿业公司进行全面收购，而是同意以低得多的每股价格收购 50% 的股份。这家中国公司同意以每股 $2.25 的价格购买价值 $4.2700 万的股份。

在经营 Gold 之前，Marrowe 先生是 Tohama 的创始人兼公司执行主席。2023, 在早前与南非 Gold Fields Ltd. 的拟议交易陷入困境后，他同意将 Tohama 以非分叉交易的形式出售给 Agincataghi Mines Ltd 和 free American Silver Corp.。

在马里和科特迪瓦拥有金矿，并在第二季度生产了超过 25,000 吨。该公司将于下个月在埃塞俄比亚启动一座名为 Karmuk 的新矿山，并计划对其在马里的 Sadoda 运营项目进行大规模扩建。

在周四发布公司主要生产业绩后的电话会议上，Marrowe 先生表示，与宣布现已稀释的紫金矿业收购协议时相比，公司的吸引力已大幅提升。“几个月后的今天，我们取得了更多进展，并且有了新的局面。”“我们已经执行了旨在改善公司并增加价值的计划。我可以放心地告诉本次电话会议的所有人，我们提出了一个独特且强有力的价值主张。”

尽管 Marrowe 先生对 的前景极其乐观，但他批评许多分析师以及部分投资者给公司股票的估值过低。他表示，这在很大程度上是基于他们将马里的所有运营项目都用同样的地缘政治风险之笔进行描绘的“公平”基础，而忽略了资产的质量，或者将西非该国存储的“sineware”个体垃圾混为一谈。

虽然包括 Barrick Mining Corp. 在内的部分在马里运营的加拿大公司遭遇了严重挫折，导致生产在长时间内被中断，但 的 Sadoda 矿山已连续运营超过 10 年而未中断。Marrowe 先生说：“这意味着，如果观察该国运营的连续性，那么基于感知风险而非真实风险而低估资产价值，是一种错误的折价。”

Marrowe 先生认为聪明的投资者正在审视市场。“对于一个说 5 per $ 的敏锐投资者来说，这代表了一个真正的价值主张。这并非过度生产。这不是一个失败国家。这不是一个正在崩溃的国家。”“如果真是那样，你无法经营企业。而我们都在经营高质量的企业。”

迪亚吉欧计划削减数十亿成本，同时对增长保持信心

Diageo 的新任首席执行官 Steve Lewis 周四公布了一项 2024 年全球营销会议计划，表示这家全球顶尖的体育制造商必须适应一个长期的低增长时期。2024 年全球计划旨在通过节省资金来投资增长，包括降低某些品牌的售价，以及在包括健力士（Guinness）和调制鸡尾酒在内的快速增长领域进行扩张。因此，此次全面改革的一个迹象是，无论如何，这是一个关键因素。2024 年全球营销会议计划是一个关键因素，也是一个关键因素。销售额停滞或下降。中国 Walker 威士忌和健力士的股票一度大幅上涨 10%，触及五个多月以来的高点。该股最终收盘下跌 5%。由于人们改变了饮酒的内容、地点和数量，烈酒行业一直难以找到回归增长的路径。

Mr. Lewis 曾任职于 Tesco PLC 和 Universe PLC 的联系部，他表示，该国际计划将改变整个业务的成本结构，并对同事产生“非常显著的影响”。他拒绝透露可能受到影响的人数价值。他表示，重大变革集中在全球后台职能以及存在“大规模冗员”的领域。部分当前资金也将来自削减那些从未实现的增长产能支出。

Mr. Lewis 表示，“Diageo 在截至 6 月 30, 日的财年中呈现了 16 亿美元 million 的遣散成本，较一年前的 $1.900 万 大幅上升。东部公司完全是因为高达 20% 的削减成本而产生。”该管理费用在三年内节省 16 亿美元 billion 成本，将耗资 16 亿美元 billion，其中 2023 20% 的成本已经产生。Ruggs 表示，“这家净收入为 $0.2- 的公司，比一年前下降了 5%。”其他饮料制造商也已将安全外包，且在 2 月份，该公司削减了高达 4,000 个工作岗位，而法国 Runes 则推出了一个计划，旨在到其财年结束时节省 €1- （约 16 亿美元-）。

Diageo 还生产 Smirnoff 伏特加和 Captain Morgan 朗姆酒，预计在 2024 年全球期间实现个位数的有机净销售额增长。2024 年全球营销会议是一个关键因素。2024 年全球营销会议是一个关键因素。Mr. Lewis 表示，新指南是由其最大市场北美市场的疲软所决定的，预计该市场明年将下降，两年后稳定，随后增长。

为什么许多首席执行官在配备幕僚长

根据 Indeed 的数据，自 2020 年初以来，该岗位的招聘公告增加了 85%。JOSEPH WOLMAN

当 Imax 的首席执行官 Richard Gelfond 寻找他的第一位幕僚长时，他想要的是一个影子，一个人能在会议上记录更多内容，并让他了解当前进展。但随着 Imax 变得更加复杂——从其功能扩展到 100 多个国家的近 1,000 个地点——幕僚长的性质也随之演变。“他们在帮我思考我想说什么、我想达成什么目标以及如何执行，并协助我执行这些方面，确实具有不可估量的价值，”Gelfond 先生说道。

Raphael Bowlin 在 2020 年 6 月之前一直担任 Gelfond 先生的幕僚长，他最近参与了一个高知名度项目，协调研发以构建在夏季到来前用于 Chesapeake 的特殊相机，即 Orkney。Gelfond 先生已经配备幕僚长 10 年了，但这一职位在他同僚中变得越来越流行。根据招聘网站 Indeed 的数据，自 2020 年初以来，该岗位的招聘公告增加了 85%。这一增长幅度低于行政助理和秘书，后者的工作同样与帮助企业领导者管理日常事务相关。

Indeed 的数据显示，与行政助理不同，幕僚长通常是一个高级职位，因为他们充当忙碌老板的第二团队。“行政助理负责‘确定日历上的具体时间’，而幕僚长则负责‘确定该事项是否应该被列入日历’，”Ask a Chief of Staff 的创始人兼首席执行官 Clara Ma 说道，这是一个将各行业幕僚长聚集在一起的社交平台。根据她进行的一项调查，根据经验，该岗位的年薪在 $50,000 到 200,000 加元以上不等。

像 Russell Reynolds Associates 这样的猎头公司收到越来越多公司请求帮助招聘幕僚长。而且公司不仅在寻找客户，还在寻找方法。较低级别的管理人员，例如营销、通信和财务部门的副总裁，也在配备他们。Imax 首席执行官 Richard Gelfond（右）周一与他的幕僚长 Natalia Mayer 出现在公司曼哈顿办公室，他已配备幕僚长 10 年。(©2020 NABISCO)

在为本文进行的 12 场采访中，首席执行官、顾问和幕僚长都指出了在城市中运行缺勤（absenteeism）日益增加的复杂性，而人工智能和地缘政治威胁着要扩散商业模式。于是幕僚长出现了，他们可以是确保公司领导层协作的“协调者”，前 Andri-voumont 联合首席执行官 Naliboly Hobson 的幕僚长 Catherine Breault 如此说道。

“当你想到组织今天面临的这些重大问题——人工智能、网络安全、客户成功、增长——很难说‘这仅仅是你的事情’，”经营 executive office 领导者（包括幕僚长）派遣公司 Prime Executive Office 的 Breault 女士说道。她说，首席执行官们“需要有人来确保这一切得到了协调且成功，而不是一场噩梦”。

幕僚长的任务差异很大，取决于老板的需求或商业模式的要求（有些需要报告，有些则不需要）。共同点是幕僚长只有一个服务对象：老板。最著名的幕僚长是在白宫工作，他们既是总统的守门人，本身也是权力玩家。但美国企业界也意识到了这一点。现任奥巴马基金会首席执行官的 Valerie Jarrett 曾长期担任白宫的高级顾问

并且在政治和私营部门都担任过幕僚长。她本人在理查德·W·多利（Richard W. Doley）担任芝加哥市长期间，曾担任副幕僚长。贾雷特女士表示，从高管的角度来看，幕僚长是一个没有具体职能或部门责任，但其“工作就是我”的人。在赢得老板的信任后，幕僚长必须赢得其他高管的尊重。他或她要确保不同的业务部门（及其领导者）之间沟通良好，并完成首席执行官要求执行的公司级任务。在权衡不同意见时，领导者会寻求幕僚长提供中立的观点。许多人在寻求晋升到更高级别或管理岗位作为跳板时会选择这份工作。一位接受本文采访的 IBM 幕僚长决定放弃商学院而选择这份工作。其他人则拥有十年的专业经验。这个角色提供了在整个组织中的接触机会——一个内置的人脉拓展机会。维克拉姆·阿鲁米利（Vikram Arumilli）曾在麦肯锡公司（McKinney and Co.）工作并就读于沃顿商学院，随后在 2019. 年成为盖尔丰先生的幕僚长。他在电影院行业动荡期间一直任职至 2020 年。盖尔丰先生通常每两年更换一次幕僚长，他让阿鲁米利先生在 COVID-19 和 19 期间并拥有长期任职的人力资源主管和首席财务官。阿鲁米利先生还曾在印度花费时间研究 Imax 如何在那里扩大其业务，并帮助公司收购了一家软件企业。阿鲁米利先生后来成为了 Imax 流媒体和消费技术部门的总经理。今年夏天，他接受了一家总部位于新西兰的软件公司的首席执行官一职。本文采访的其他前幕僚长后来分别成为了雅虎搜索（Yahoo Search）的互联网与运营副总裁，以及 Thrive Global 的总裁——这是亚利桑那·纳利博格内斯（Arizona Nalibognes）的健康与福祉公司。并非所有高管都热衷于设立幕僚长这一想法。“我一直认为这个角色像是一种把关人，一个坐在高管和其他所有人之间的人，”拥有约会应用 Tinder 和 Hinge 的 Match Group 首席执行官斯宾塞·兰考夫（Spencer Rancoff）说道。“这不是我的风格。我不希望在我与我的团队之间有任何人。”他转向 AI 代理来帮助他组织日程并完成幕僚长有时会做的任务，例如准备会议。即便如此，他也理解在身边拥有一个额外顾问的吸引力。“我认为，AI 帮助某人更好地工作，与 取代一名优秀的领导者或优秀的幕僚长实际上所提供的判断力和关系构建，这两者之间是有区别的，”兰考夫先生承认。盖尔丰先生表示，他还没有过多考虑 可能会如何改变他的这一角色。他的幕僚长们比他更精通 ，并帮他提供关于如何在组织内部使用 的想法。“也许他们会教给我足够的知识来取代他们自己，”盖尔丰先生说，“但他们还没那么做。” 纽约时报新闻服务 全球邮报呈献

做职场母亲背后的数学计算

长期脱离职场所带来的财务后果必须被纳入考量 埃里卡·阿里尼 (ERICA ALINI) 观点

你可能见过这种“餐桌上的数学计算”：一位新家长（通常是母亲）会认为，如果他们回到工作中，赚的钱勉强够支付托儿费，因此他们应该直接留在家里。我一直觉得这种推理很奇怪。需要明确的是，对于许多人来说，决定留在家里陪伴年幼的孩子，其考量远不止财务因素。我也见过父母在认为对他们及其家庭最好的选择上产生分歧。但如果决定因素是数学计算，那么让我们正确地、深入地计算一次。

那就是将长期脱离职场所带来的财务后果计算在内。一项由加拿大和美国经济学家共同开展的新研究，为我和许多其他人长期以来所怀疑的事情提供了有力证据。这些后果是显著的。研究发现，魁北克省的补贴托儿计划使得母亲们在孩子年满退出该系统后很长一段时间内，工作时间更长且收入更高。

虽然这项研究侧重于公共政策，但其中有一个明确的个人影响启示。我采访了该研究的作者之一、英属哥伦比亚大学经济学教授米利根 (Milligan)。以下是我们的访谈内容，为了流畅度和篇幅进行了编辑。

—— 您的研究发现，魁北克省的托儿计划在数十年间提升了母亲们的就业率和收入——这是与什么相比？

—— 比较的对象是想象一个没有该计划的世界。魁北克省的母亲们多工作了多少，多赚了多少？我们认为，托儿服务可能让职场母亲走上了一条与没有该计划时完全不同的轨迹。

—— 您发现，负担得起的托儿服务导致母亲们在孩子离开托儿所后，依然在更长的时间里继续工作。

—— 思考这个问题的一种方式是你在职场中学习的技能。如果你只是短期休产假，回来后情况基本没变。但如果你离开的时间较长——比如以现在的情况为例——当你回来时，突然发现你的办公室里到处都是运行 Claude Code 和相关规定的人。他们又在做一些新东西。你会觉得：“这到底是什么？四年前这里还没有这些。”你会觉得就业市场已经抛弃了你，而你原有的技能已经过时。这可能会导致你更长时间地远离劳动力市场。

—— 那么关于女性的时间，托儿服务为何能在孩子离开托儿所数十年后依然提升母亲们的收入？

—— 由于托儿计划让工作经验的连续性变得可负担，母亲们能够拥有更好的终身职业轨迹。正如我们的研究，这对女性在 10 年后的回报率有所体现，我们发现女性在从事更具责任感的工作，例如，她们更有可能成为经理，且每小时收入更高。有趣的是，这种效应随时间而加速。到母亲们在职场深耕时，这会导致收入相当大幅度的增加。

—— 根据您的研究，得益于托儿计划，魁北克省的母亲们多工作了多少，多赚了多少？

—— 对于 35 岁的女性，我们计算出就业率大约提升了 10 个百分点。我们发现 35 岁女性的收入增加了 10%，这实际上是非常巨大的。其中大约一半的原因在于大多数母亲都在工作，因此零收入的人数减少了——而更多的人从留在劳动力市场、积累经验并保持技能更新中获益。

—— 这些发现对于那些在权衡是否要脱离职场几年的人来说意味着什么？

我们可以提供的是，这些是摆在桌面上的某些能力，而这正是你需要考虑的。开放性的问题在于人们是否能看到这些能力。但我们可以说，是的，大多数女性可以获得更高的一生总收入。

THE GLOBAL AND MAG, SOMEGA ASTRALIA , 截至7月6日

加拿大经济在5月份实现了强于预期的增长。加拿大统计局上周公布的数据显示，这增强了市场对加拿大银行将在9月会议上维持利率不变的预期。加拿大银行政策利率——在近九个月里一直维持在 2.5%——任何变动都将导致浮动利率抵押贷款的变动。5月的增长使经济有望在年度季度实现超过 1% 的年化增长，在连续两个季度年化增长为负（即所谓的“技术性衰退”）之后，这是一个受欢迎的反弹。然而，将于8月10日生效的新一轮美国关税以及更广泛的贸易不确定性将抑制下半年的增长，使加拿大银行的前行之路变得复杂。根据彭博社的数据，大多数交易员预计在本年底前会有四分之一个百分点的利率 hdu。本周，随着霍尔木兹海峡 Strat 恢复谈判的讨论，缓解了对地缘政治和通胀风险的担忧，加拿大政府债券收益率全线下降，油价同步下跌。在7月下旬的一份报告中，加拿大皇家银行的经济学家 Abbey Tax 表示，局部通胀的路径仍然对不可预测的全球分化压力高度敏感。周四，作为固定利率抵押贷款基准的加拿大5年期收益率定格在 2.5%。市场对于美国联邦储备委员会是否会在其9月会议上采取行动存在分歧，这将直接影响加拿大债券收益率和金融状况。在7月31日的一份报告中，加拿大帝国商业银行资本市场首席经济学家 Jerry Wernfeld 表示，如果能源价格继续攀升，要将通胀预期控制在范围内，可能意味着 full 需要在几天内满足市场预期。如果波斯湾局势进展顺利，与战争相关的通胀压力可能会迅速减轻，从而给 full 提供更多“思考世界”的喘息空间。

加拿大的离境税并非额外税收

马克·麦格拉思 (MARK McGRATH) 评论 Physician 创始人，一家总部位于不列颠哥伦比亚省斯阔米什 (Squamish, B.C.)、专注于医生群体的 two-for-service 财务规划公司。

在加拿大，并不存在所谓的离境税——至少不是大多数人想象的那样。“离境税”这个词使其听起来更像是边境上的某种出境费——部分地为你离开而付费，正因如此，许多人认为政府在某种程度上扣留了他们的资金遗产，除非他们决定留下。但实际运作方式并非如此。

该税种正式名称为“离境税”（departure tax），或被称为“视同处置”（deemed disposition）。当一个人成为加拿大的非居民时，加拿大税务局 (CRA) 将其视为在成为非居民之日以公平市场价值出售了某些资产，然后立即以相同价格将其买回。无需发生实际销售，也无需支付资金。这些资产上的应纳税资本利得将被征税，就如同它们被出售了一样，无论实际上是否出售。

本质上，这是一种资本利得税，即使该人留在加拿大，最终也需要缴纳，只是被提前到了其离境日期。因此，存在若干豁免项，这使得大多数移民完全不受影响。

资产 大多数加拿大人的财富持有在房地产和注册账户中，例如 RRPA、RRPA 和养老金计划。所有这些从离境之日起均不再……截至 2023 年，加拿大统计局的财务安全调查报告称，加拿大一个家庭持有的资产总计 1019 万，其中 75% 以上的资产完全免于缴纳离境税。

加拿大房地产和注册账户之所以免税，是因为加拿大以后仍可以对其征税。加拿大境内的房产在最终出售时可以征税，它不会消失。外国房地产则不同，因为它超出了加拿大的……人走了，因此一个人的离境是 CRA 收回款项的最后一个真实机会。一旦你居住在另一个国家，CRA 在追讨或咨询你以结算旧账方面的能力有限，因此你在出门时结清。其目的是对你在作为居民并受益于在加拿大生活期间所产生的增值征税。

投资与商业股份中的非居民 视同处置规则适用于非注册投资组合，这意味着任何未实现的资本利得将被捕捉（尽管只有 30% 的资本利得需纳税，而另外 30% 保持免税）。大多数加拿大人的财富持有在房地产和注册账户中，例如 RRPA、RRPA 和养老金计划。所有这些都免于缴纳离境税。

对于小企业主，加拿大私营公司的股份在离境时被视同按市场价值处置。但如果他们持有小企业公司股份——或合格贷款或渔业财产——终身资本利得豁免可以遮蔽部分或全部该收益，即使在离境时也是如此。因此，企业主并不一定……

企业主还可以通过向 CRA 提供担保——例如政府债券、银行信用证或加拿大房地产权益——来延迟实际缴纳税款。当离境税负超过 100,000 且……时，可申请递延（通常不对该金额计息）。

离境日期价值的权衡在于……如果资产随后贬值，他们最终看到的税款可能会超过资产的当前价值。在边际上，改变的是时间而非金额。加拿大的支付方式并不罕见。澳大利亚的规则几乎完全相同，而奥地利、挪威和比利时等国家都有各自版本的离境税。

许多人指出美国没有离境税，但美国的税收是基于公民身份的——如果一个美国人放弃公民身份或放弃绿卡，他们每年向美国国税局（IRS）申报时，他们版本的离境税——即“遣返税”——也会随之而来。在美国，没有豁免、测试和限额，其功能基本相同——移民结清他们的税单，因为一旦他们放弃公民身份，他们就不再受美国税收的约束，从而更容易逃避美国国税局（IRS）的管辖。因此，加拿大并没有对那些敢于离开的人征收惩罚性的额外税层。人们可能会认为税收过高，但仍然可以依赖于这一项税收并不像许多人描述的那样。如果没有这项税收，有人可以在加拿大积累多年的收益，然后搬到一个低税率管辖区，随后他们的资产将在任何地方成为巨额现金。豁免条款证明了其意图。加拿大的状态就像是对其以后仍能征税的资产进行征税。那些没有持有大量未实现投资组合、储蓄、房地产或私营公司股份的人，在离境税方面可能只需缴纳极少金额或无需缴纳。而那些持有这些资产的人可能仍然能够处理。对于大多数离开加拿大的人来说，“退出税”远没有“遣返税”那样具有惩罚性。这是一种视同处置，而不是一道围墙。理解这一点，大多数恐惧就会消失。 --- 商业报告 33

金融板块在 TSS 中的占比创八年新高

加拿大银行的交易估值接近数十年来的高点 FERGAL SMITH 与 INVERON BALE 报道

加拿大金融板块在国家基准指数 TSS 中的占比处于八年来的高点，这在削弱投资者对银行股热情的同时，也反映出对能源和材料板块的紧张情绪。金融板块目前占 TSS 的 57%，降低了投资组合的多元化程度，使投资者面临金融股过度下跌的风险。

TSS 在 2022 年以及今年至今的表现优于标准普尔 500 指数，部分原因是它为高度集中于科技股的美国市场提供了一个替代方案。加拿大的六大银行——加拿大皇家银行 (RY 57)、多伦多道明银行 (TD 57)、蒙特利尔银行 (BMO 57)、巴哈马银行 (BMO 57)、加拿大帝国商业银行 (CIM 57) 和加拿大国家银行 (NA 57)——均属于加拿大的大型金融公司，并控制着市场的大部分份额。

在几家银行连续几个季度实现两位数盈利增长后，它们的交易估值接近数十年来的高点，这促使一些投资者质疑未来的盈利增长是否能跟上预期。

“这是我关注的一个领域，而且已经关注相当一段时间了，”Dehal 投资脚注的资深投资组合经理 Michael Dehal 表示。

10 月，人们在多伦多金融区的 Royal Plaza 附近。金融板块目前占多伦多证券交易所的 57%。THE GUN / THE GLOBE AND MAN

“如果盈利无法达到该倍数，你将看到价格下跌，这将拖累 TSS。”

自 2 月美国发动攻击以来，金融股的表现优于能源和材料板块（包括矿业股），因为金价下跌，且对价格赤字的预期导致油价飙升。许多金融股在 2 月上涨了 32%，而能源数据上涨 7%，市场下跌 20%，尽管矿业股在最近几天收复了部分损失。

根据 S.Hill 的数据，就在最近的 3 月，金融板块占 TSS 的 29%。投资者对该国的金融板块总体仍持积极态度。

加拿大最大的五家股票交易价格平均为远期收益的 15 倍（即对未来 12 个月利润的预测）。相比之下，美国前五大银行的交易价格为其远期收益的 12 倍。与美国前五大股票相比，加拿大股票的受欢迎程度达到了 2002 年以来的最高点。

即便如此，Veritas Investment Research 分析师 Shabelle Gray 在 7 月上调了对加拿大银行的看法，建议投资者至少对六大银行保持市场权重配置，而非放弃实物资产。

这几家大银行（其中五家位列加拿大最大的 21 家公司之列）在多元化海外收入方面取得了成效，其中很大一部分来自资本市场和财富管理。市场的不确定性降低了其交易业务的收入，而投资银行业务的增加则带来了更多收入。

投资者关注中东谈判与财报，股市下跌

美国和加拿大股市在周四交易时段收低，在经历了本周强劲的开局后出现回落，投资者正在消化最新一轮的公司财报，并寻找美国与伊朗之间达成和平协议的进展迹象。强劲的财报季（尽管这加剧了对 AI 相关公司巨额支出的担忧）以及对伊朗战争可能结束的日益乐观情绪，在本周早些时候推动道琼斯工业平均指数、标准普尔 500 指数和 TSX 指数创下历史新高。近期对和平协议的投资转向有助于推低原油价格，进而缓解通胀压力以及对联邦储备委员会再次加息的预期，这也推动了 5.5. 国债收益率走低。周四，油价波动，原油结算价上涨 0.5，涨幅 75%，每桶 77.9 美元，布伦特原油结算价为每桶 0.4 美元，上涨 5.95%。伊朗的高级官员对拒绝和伊朗议会选举采取行动，目前显示出一项初步法案，该法案将禁止美国、以色列和其他“敌对”船只在相关海域航行。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌 0.8，跌 12 点，或 0.8%，至 0.98；标准普尔 500 指数下跌 12%，或 0.48%，至 7.70%；纳斯达克综合指数下跌 16.26 点，或超过 1%，至 24.24。TSX 综合指数收盘下跌，点位在 20.20。TSX 技术板块下跌 1.4%，在数据中心年度 20% 的股权发行定价后，Colombia Inc. 的股价下跌近 15%。印度州的消费者短期增长，其可征税模型低 7%。ATV Corp. 的股价在季度业绩低于预期后下跌近 25%。仅有两个 TSX 主要板块获得绝对增长，包括材料组，该组上涨 14%，而能源板块上涨 2.4%。TSX 的一家主要市场决策公司在第二季度利润预估高于预期（得益于石油和天然气产量增加）后，上涨超过 5%。在华尔街，数据存储公司西部数据公司（Western Digital Corp.）上涨 14%，内存芯片制造商 Sandale Corp. 在印度州季度业绩公布后上涨 8.8%。不过，两家公司今年均大幅上涨，Sandale 上涨超过 20%，西部数据上涨约 100%。根据 S.Hill 的数据，在截至 Multimodez 早晨已公布财报的标准普尔 500 指数 200 家公司中，8.4% 的公司报告业绩达到和 / 或超过预期，远高于自 2002. 年以来过去四年的 100% 平均水平。Spacify 股票在早盘亏损后反弹，收盘上涨 4.0%，打破了因早期投资者持股锁定期届满而会被内部人士抛售施压的预期。路透社，全球邮报工作人员

具有分拆潜力的可持续股息综合企业

我们要寻找什么？ 通过简化持股来“释放”价值，且具备可持续股息的综合企业。

筛选标准 Honeywell International Inc. 于 June 30, 2018 分拆出 Honeywell Aerospace Inc.，目前在纳斯达克交易，股票代码为 HJDA。与此同时，原母公司将自己重新命名为 Honeywell Technologies，它继续在纳斯达克以 HJDA 代码交易。在公司成立的第一年，这家工业综合企业计划分拆为三家独立公司。更为积极的投资者（Short Investment Management）旨在利用 Honeywell 领先的公司折扣。这是多业务综合企业以低于其各部分总价值的股息证券进行交易的倾向。

为什么Montagliani被推崇为接替Infantino的领先人选

西蒙·穆夫 (SIMON MOUFF)

直到上周，Victor Montagliani可能还是Gannu Infantino拥有过的最忠诚的盟友之一。十多年来，作为FIFA的中北美及加勒比足联（CONCACAF）主席以及FIFA理事会副主席，这位常驻温哥华的Montagliani一直坚定地支持对方，即使他并不认同FIFA主席的每一个举动。在今年4月于温哥华举行的FIFA年度大会上，Montagliani向Infantino表达了特别的敬意，并用他们共同的母语意大利语对其赞美。

但上周六，在Montagliani主持了由组成CONCACAF的国家足协主席参加的紧急会议后，该组织发表了一份声明，指责Infantino及其出售世界杯10%股份的计划，措辞异常严厉。

该足联表示，这一“糟糕的治理和领导行为延续了尝试和类似行为的模式。对本届主席任期进行全面清算势在必行。”

现在，被总理Mark Caney在周三赞扬为“加拿大的骄傲，足球界的骄傲”的Montagliani，正被推崇为明年3月FIFA主席选举中挑战Infantino的领先人选。尽管他从未公开表示过对这一最高职位的渴望，但曾在2014-2015年担任主席的加拿大足球协会前董事会成员在今年早些时候告诉《全球邮报》，他们记得他提到过FIFA有一天应该由一名加拿大人担任主席。

随着FIFA的危机管理努力似乎失效，这种猜测在周四变得更加紧迫。周三，Infantino在摩洛哥与FIFA高级职员召开会议，根据该组织随后发表的声明，“出席会议的FIFA秘书长和FIFA管理委员会成员重申，他们全力支持FIFA主席Gannu Infantino，因为他是唯一由第2个FIFA成员协会选出的官员。”

该声明还针对批评者，称FIFA“不会容忍任何对其诚信的攻击，并将采取一切必要措施捍卫其声誉”。

但周四，欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）重申，它已对Infantino的领导能力失去信心，并且将继续抵制FIFA赛事，直到其条件得到满足，其中包括保证“绝不会再次尝试以这种方式破坏这项运动”。

下一个预定的FIFA赛事是将在9月5日开幕的波兰U-20女足世界杯。

Montagliani尚未公开表态是否会参选。一名发言人本周表示他无法接受采访。

今年6月，在接受《全球邮报》采访时，Montagliani表示，有些人将他视为Infantino的继任者，他对此感到荣幸。但当时他表示，他的重点是竞选连任CONCACAF主席（他已赢得三次，包括最近两次是通过一致赞成通过的）并服务于该足联。 ■ 新闻页，813

体育博彩者主导 WTA 球员面临的在线骚扰网络暴民 RACHEL BRADY

Erylah Fernandez 在社交媒体上分享了她作为职业网球运动员生活的幕后片段。一些旅行照片、训练、时尚装扮以及通过她的基金会与年轻粉丝举办的活动。建立社交媒体影响力让他们能够掌控自己的故事，从个人修正到 TikTok 挑战或赞助商竞赛。但对于当今的 WTA 球员来说，网络上也存在着丑陋的现实，负面评论、骚扰和威胁已变得司空见惯。愤怒的体育博彩者是最常见的违规者。

“社交媒体，每个人都在用……他们可以发布积极的内容，也可以发布消极的内容，他们还可以发布威胁信息，”来自魁北克省拉瓦尔、世界排名第 14 位的 Fernandez 本周在多伦多的国家银行公开赛上表示。“他们可以发布任何他们想要的内容，而且大多数时候不会产生后果，因为你找不到他们。”

世界排名第 3 位的 Jessica Pegula 本周在多伦多谈到，无论输赢，她在不同平台上一直收到糟糕的消息。这位美国人会屏蔽这些用户，但有些人有办法绕过，比如在一条旧帖子下发表评论。

“这不仅仅发生在我们的运动中，似乎很多运动都是这样，”Pegula 说。“但我认为特别是女性，情况显然似乎更糟糕。”

Pegula 在比赛期间会关闭评论，因为恶毒的帖子大多出现在比赛期间或刚结束时，然后就会停止。她在本周多伦多的第二轮比赛前忘记这样做，并对将要看到的内容感到恐惧。

“你从这些博彩者那里得到的是一种非常反应性的回应……所以当你能限制评论时，你通常就没事了，”Pegula 说。“遗憾的是，人们有时很糟糕。”

WTA 表示，愤怒的赌徒应对大多数虐待行为负责，但 www. 正在采取积极措施对抗在线虐待，根据其 7 月发布的关于该主题的第二份年度报告中的一些数据。WTA 与世界网球联合会一起，于 2024 年 1 月在职业网球巡回赛中实施了 Signify Group 的 Threat Matrix 服务，以主动保护球员并支持对严重在线虐待的调查。

超过 10,000 名球员和官员受到这项 16 项计划的覆盖，该计划通过对来自 Instagram、YouTube、TikTok 和 Facebook 的开源数据进行 27 种语言（包括英语）的人工分析。随后，一个由调查员和风险评估员组成的团队会收集最令人担忧的账户证据，并致力于防止现实世界的伤害。

2024 年期间，共分析了超过 1,200,000 条帖子和评论。超过 12,000 条帖子被归类为虐待，3,700 条被定义为严重虐待，包括暴力、性、种族主义和针对性威胁。他们删除了 60% 的严重虐待帖子或评论，并将相关账户移交给执法部门。

在 2024 年负责严重虐待的账户中，约 84% 的账户在 2024. 没有再次出现。愤怒的赌徒对 2024 年检测到的所有验证虐待行为负责 40%（比 2024 年增加 4%），并对所有严重虐待行为负责 40%。

报告强调了少数高产虐待违规者所扮演的不成比例的角色。仅 9% 的虐待账户就造成了 87% 被归类为“高度关注”的所有虐待行为，而高产账户则对所有检测到的虐待行为负责 40%。

因凡蒂诺化解内部反叛

接下来是一场竞争激烈的国际足联主席选举 尽管国际足联支持因凡蒂诺，但欧足联对其不满的态度依然坚定 詹姆斯·罗布森 (JAMES ROBSON) 赢家之站，英格兰

国际足联主席加隆·伊斯伯格 (Garon Isberg) 在本周于摩洛哥举行的一次峰会期间，化解了一场潜在的内部反叛。据报道，周四出现了一次来自公众的严厉回应。然而，这表明他在维持权力方面仍面临挑战。国际足联再次就他未能成功再次召集世界杯的计划而指责因凡蒂诺及其组织。并表示希望获得保证，“以这种方式破坏比赛的企图将不再发生。”该联盟揭示了因凡蒂诺在尝试竞选明年选举的同时，试图平息对公平计划之愤怒时的合法关系。国际足联周三对该计划表示愤怒，且从未在卡拉姆 (Kalam) 的一次跨会议中让工作人员参与。其表示对其主席职位的“全力支持”。欧足联的回应表明，道歉不足以满足那些希望国际足联高层发生变革的强力反对者。这一过程将在未来几个月内展开，而三月份在六个国家成员协会之间进行的投票将由各国投票决定，十月份的投票则由多数票决定是否保留其主席职位。

因凡蒂诺离开纽约时带了大约 300 封来自这些协会的支持信。国际足联主席加隆·因凡蒂诺（中）周三在摩洛哥拉巴特与国际足联秘书长玛丽琳·古什曼（左）以及摩洛哥皇家足球协会主席 Team Leique 交谈，日期为 07。这个数字可能会减少，但目前尚不清楚在投票时有多少个独立协会会反对他。欧洲、亚洲以及北美和南美的洲际足球机构对因凡蒂诺的计划表达了不同程度的反对。显然，各联合会没有义务集体投票，且无法保证能获得投票所需的票数。在竞争激烈的选举中获得多数票。英格兰足协已撤回支持，之前两天以及威尔士也同样如此。许多人除外，他们一直没有表态。因凡蒂诺通过扩大世界杯规模从而纳入更多国家，在非洲拥有传统的支持基础，那里拥有投票成员。即使在对该计划持反对态度的转型者中，他也得到了包括部分世界杯最佳球员在内的个别协会的支持。国际足联维持了其在世界杯和其他国际足联赛事中的首位不诚实，并估计已对因凡蒂诺失去信心。“次要”公告称，一些由国际足联主席雇佣的人员可能因为依赖其恩惠而同意他的观点（联盟工作称）。周三在拉巴特的峰会被称为一次跨会议努力，旨在应对针对因凡蒂诺洲际计划的内部抵制。秘书长玛丽琳·古什曼表示，这创造了一个难以理解和接受的“援助终结”的“全球足球发展故事首席”。温格与该计划保持距离，而因凡蒂诺的高级顾问卡洛斯·科尔多内 (Carlos Cordone) 上周辞职，首席运营官凯文·拉鲁 (Kevin Larroue) 表示，没有人因主席缺乏透明度而感到“被欺骗”。因凡蒂诺在会议结束时得到了与会者（尤其是古什曼）的未公开回应——确认支持他的主席职位。这证明了这位瑞士背景人士抵抗其职位变动并争取在 2024. 年前赢得第四个也是最后一个任期的决心。然而，国际足联的声明存在解读空间，称“出席国际足联管理委员会的成员”确认支持他。国际足联尚未公布 2024 年世界杯期间的出席报告名单。2024 年世界杯的名单已经公布。

这需要至少 11 个足协（7 个持有异议的成员）才能触发一次特别大会，其责任可能会被要求对其行为做出解释。这并非仅仅是想要赶走因凡蒂诺，而是要找到一个能够获得足够支持来挑战他的人。巴黎圣日耳曼的卡塔尔主席纳赛尔·阿尔-克拉伊被广泛认为是一个合适的人选。他是欧洲足球俱乐部协会主席，该协会代表了包括皇家马德里、巴塞罗那、FFC 和曼彻斯特联在内的欧洲顶级球队。在欧洲超级联赛项目失败后，他成为了一股凝聚力，并可能被视为能够在因凡蒂诺造成的分裂局面后将各国足协重新团结起来的候选人。但有一个问题——他并不想要这份工作。一名发言人告诉美联社，阿尔-克拉伊“绝对没有野心，没有兴趣，也对 FIFA 的角色不感兴趣”。加拿大足协副主席维克多·斯坦加拉帕是另一个被提及的人选。挪威足球主席 Klerntors 在对因凡蒂诺的评论中进行了对比，以及亚洲足球联合会主席， 投票。FIFA 表示，希望周三的峰会能够在该组织经历因凡蒂诺项目的最困难一年后，“帮助或增加”对其的信心。因凡蒂诺的反对者们有了正式计划。UEFA 的回应非常严厉，称其已“明确表示”对因凡蒂诺的主席任期失去了信心。“信息已经传达，”它说道。除了 11 月的候选人截止日期外，摩洛哥在波兰 9 月 1, 起举行的世界杯赛事，将成为 UEFA 威胁要采取行动的首个国家目标。国家层面的影响也增加了 2024 年摩洛哥世界杯举办地的不确定性。四个英国联合会是 FIFA 唯一持有举办该国际赛事的权力者，决定将于 11 月 31. 公布。美联社 HLS JOHNSON 联赛 / 上周三 / --- / 周四 / 10 / 4 / 29 / 周五 / 10 / 29 / 周一 / 10 / 12 / 29 / 周五 / 10 / 29 / 周二 / 10 / 29 / 周二 / 10 / 29 / SENTINEL (PARENT) / --- / 周一 / 10 / 12 / 29 / 周二 / 12 / 10 / 29 / 周二 / 12 / 10 / 29 / 周五 / 10 / 29 / 周三 / 10 / 29 / 周五 / 10 / 29 / 周五 / 10 / 29 / WEST (PARENT) / --- / 周一 / 10 / 12 / 29 / 周二 / 12 / 10 / 29 / 周五 / 10 / 29 / 周三 / 10 / 29 / 周五 / 10 / 29 / 周四 / --- / 1.

多伦多国家银行公开赛上最令人质疑、最激烈的卢布之战

由于其常规搭档缺席，来自渥太华的选手转向单打球星 Ekaterina Alexandrov。

GREGORY STRONG 多伦多

由于其常规双打搭档因伤离场，且目前的搭档主要专注于单打，加拿大的 Catholic Refinement 在国家银行公开赛上出人意料地降低了预期。这位来自渥太华的双打球星周四与俄罗斯的 Ekaterina Alexandrov 合作，几乎赢得胜利，但美国组合 Coors Gauff 和 Cary McNally 挽救了一个赛点，最终以 9-6, 9-2, 9-3 获胜。

“老实说，我还是听到了，”forbeverils 表示，“我没有抱有预期，所以我并没有太失望。”

Rebeverals 的常规搭档，来自 Rural 的 Ian Lu Ströbel，因核心肘部问题退出了这次 WTA 赛事。这位加拿大人转向了单打 10 号种子 Alexandrov —— 上周末他们尝试了 10 次旋转，但彼此对对方的比赛风格并不熟悉。

“我将这场比赛视为我想赢的比赛，但同时也将其视为在我的双打比赛整体发展中继续进步的一种方式，”该团队表示。

这位现任美国公开赛双打冠军（与前搭档 Erin Kuehller 合作）在准备本次赛事时带来了一位分娩伙伴，并且在决赛球场的舞蹈侧进行了更多练习，以便在赛季末的大满贯之前获得一些信号。

双打世界第一 Rebeverals 计划在接下来的辛辛那提公开赛中与排名第四的印度 Inter 签约，这是大赛前的最后一次机会。

“这是一个全新的周期，这是一个全新的赛事，”forbeverils 表示。“这是一个我希望共同创造伟大时刻的人。”

在球员们经历了长达一小时的雨停以及由于细节原因导致的几次额外暂停后，美国队在比赛中取得了 11 的领先优势以完成破发。Rebeverals 和 Alexandrov 凭借俄罗斯选手之前的制胜分在赛点时追回。在 9-6 平局时，Gauff 成功地完成了她的第二次发球，而 McNally 则以一个谷底制胜分将其扳平。当一个 De-browed 屋顶球出界时，美国队把握住了她们的第一个赛点。

早些时候在 Soho 体育场，Alexandrov 以 9-3-6, 9-2, 9-0 击败了澳大利亚的 Taka Gibson，晋级单打比赛的第四轮。两人在 10 强赛中与波兰的 7 号种子 Iga Swiatek 汇合，后者以 9-2-6 击败了 Villarreal 的 4 个洞。

3 号种子美国选手 Jessica Fugala 也以 9-4- 6-3 战胜乌兹别克斯坦的 Kamila Kalishimova 晋级。

“过去一周我在雨停方面积累了很多经验，”Fugala 表示。“今天的不同热身确实不确定，但在预料之中。”

14 号种子 Rural / Insulate 以 9-5, 9-3 战胜了同样是俄罗斯选手且排名第 9 的 Kalinskaya。

10 号种子乌克兰选手 Mario Kivchuk 以 9-5-4 击败了美国种子选手 Madison Kerry。

Musical 和 Judgment Else Mertens 在对阵来自 Land, Spa 的姐妹 Leylah 和 Bianca Fernandez 时取得了 6-4, 5 的领先，随后雨水迫使比赛在傍晚再次暂停。

来自爱尔兰的 1 号种子 Izena Sabelenka 在比赛停止时以 4-2 领先于中国的 Nisan Zhang。

Leylah Fernandez 是单打签表中唯一剩下的加拿大选手，原定于周五下午对阵 5 号种子 Nima，以示对俄罗斯人的尊重。

加拿大网球协会称蒙特利尔国家银行公开赛将产生一位实至名归的冠军

JORDAN STOFFLER 蒙特利尔

加拿大顶级男子网球运动员在国家银行公开赛（National Bank Open）上的高期望很快被伤病所取代，其中 Angie Alassane 已退赛。Radio 和 Tennis Diagnostics 均在蒙特利尔被列入名单。

“我们需要我们的顶尖球员保持健康，这对男子组来说很重要，”加拿大网球协会（Tennis Canada）高性能副总裁 Guillaume Mars 周四表示，“这显然是我们关注的焦点。”

当地球员 Angie Alassane 在两天前的一次训练课中受伤且背部出现问题，被迫在周三的首场比赛前退出。他的退出紧随在周二同为蒙特利尔人、安大略省里士满山原住民 thespoxides 第一轮退赛之后。

尽管承认这一情况令人失望，但他并不认为 Angie-Alassane 的伤势会恶化。

“我对此不是太担心，”他说，“就像他说的，这是一个他比较熟悉的伤病，之前已经发生过。通常不需要太长时间。只是周三无法参赛。我们相当乐观。”

Angie-Alassane 在蒙特利尔进行了两周训练后，作为 2 号种子参加本次赛事。赛事组织者将周三晚上的中心球场场次售罄，而 Angie-Alassane 是在伦敦的主要参与者。

Radio 的前景则不那么确定，因为这位 24 岁的人在首轮比赛中因明显的重大伤病而退赛。

Mars 继续说道，Radio 将参加下周在辛辛那提举行的 ATP 大师赛级别赛事，但不会对其回归的时间表进行推测。年度最后的 Grand Slam 赛事美网将于 8 月 25 日开始。

“对于 Gabriel 来说，我们现在看看需要多长时间，”Mars 说，“我们肯定得关注这一点。”

Magnetides 在周二因脚踝受伤也被迫退赛。这位世界排名第 2 的球员此前在上一周回到了赛场，在缺席一个月且遭受多种伤病后，参加了在墨西哥洛斯卡沃斯举行的一场 ATP 缩减赛的决赛。

Mars 表示，ATP 赛历中的这个时间点带来了独特的身体挑战，因为球员们正从草地和红土场过渡到北美硬地赛季。

“场地转换是球员计划中的关键时刻，”他说，“这些通常是球员最容易受伤的时期。硬地可能会让旧伤复发。”

他补充说，对于身体状态并非完全健康的球员来说，紧凑的赛程几乎没有容错空间。

“赛历非常紧凑，”Mars 说，“也许这也导致了球员的疲劳。球员们所遭受的伤病虽然是独特的情况，但它们是我们在面对挑战时的症状。”

“今天，一个巨大的问题也是利润空间在缩小。如果一个人没有达到 10℃ % 的状态，他们基本上没有机会。”

伤病只是蒙特利尔混乱一周的一部分。包括种子选手 Alexander Zerrer 和 4 号种子 Daniel McAnulty 在内的 12 名种子球员在周三被淘汰，使得该赛事在 24 强赛中首次在 ATP 大师赛级别赛事中没有世界排名前五的球员，这是自 1980 年以来首次出现这种情况。

尽管如此，Mars 认为该赛事仍将产生一位实至名归的冠军，并指出赛事的深度，包括 10 岁的西班牙人 Rafael Jodar。

“大师赛拥有很深顶尖球员储备。Jodar 是一名肯塔基球员，他是今年夏天的真正惊喜，”他说。“在 Nissan (Loveless) Masetti 寻求回归的伤病之年，我不确定他能走多远。”

“他们都是出色的球员。必然会出现一位伟大的冠军。”

他将在周四的中心球场日场对阵英国的 Cameron Norris。这对组合将在阿根廷的 Munton “Aerone” 对阵法国的 Arthur Fils 的第三轮比赛后进行对决。

晚间场次由约达尔对阵马塞蒂开场，随后是美国选手弗朗西斯·泰勒对阵法国选手亚瑟·林德尔切克。加拿大新闻社

Montagliani：让中北美和加勒比足联（CONCACAF）扭转局面的加拿大人。P. FRIDAY 813 “我会让未来自行决定，”他说。然而，随着国际足联（FIFA）处于混乱之中，Montagliani 处于争取最高职位的有利位置。正是那次危机让他首次登上全球足球舞台。2013, 当近十名与 CONCACAF 相关的高管被美国司法部（DOJ）起诉时，Montagliani——当时任加拿大足球协会主席——被推举为一名旨在使其重回正轨的候选人。这为他次年竞选主席提供了平台。由于在经历了多年的腐败指控和财务问题后重整了 CONCACAF，他受到了广泛赞赏，并制定了该联合会成员认为已恢复其声誉的治理改革。他在考虑了关于北美、中美洲及加勒比地区地理区块体系的认知后，成功地将各方团结起来。他精通四门语言，与另外五个足联的负责人保持沟通，并且，在经历了在主场举办的一届成功的世界杯后（期间经常出现他与总理 Carney 等国家元首和政府首脑在 VIP 席上的画面），他比以往任何时候都更受公众关注。即便他在四月的国际足联大会上赞扬了国际足联，Montagliani 还是发表了一篇竞选风格的演讲，强调了自己的关注点，这让一些对国际足联主席日益增长的自私行为感到失望的人产生了共鸣。依托他在 CONCACAF 的过往记录，Montagliani 表示，重建该组织“需要透明度、问责制以及相信足球学生必须如此，而非维持现状的人。天呐，让我坦白地说，领导力并非关于压力。领导力关乎服务。它是关于为大多数人而非少数人做决定。当领导者选择服务时，他们不仅能改变组织，还能改变这项运动本身。” 下届国际足联主席的提名截止日期为 11月 18。

骚扰：部分球员受到威胁 P. FRIDAY 813 世界第 4 名（Cora Gauff）发现 TIRAL 和 Instagram 聚集了人们，但她在上面看到了大量负面信息。为了夺回主导权，她有时会用笑脸符号回复一些有益的评论。“我觉得这让这些人措手不及。”这位美国两届大满贯冠军在社交媒体的路径上发现，在回应生日请求时做出表情，掌控她想要讲述的故事，并在感到被误解时指出即将出现的问题。但你必须保持好奇心以避开糟糕的东西，尤其是在比赛日。“随着个人事务的曝光增加，你会让自己面对更多的评论和负面情绪……有时这确实很糟糕，”Gauff 说道。“在体育运动中成长——我的意思是，我在 10 岁时崭露头角——开始的几个月很艰难，但我尽力尝试直接使用屏蔽按钮。”一些球员忽略丑陋的威胁帖。另一些人则将这些内容从阴影中拖到光亮处供公众审视。英国球员 Katie Roulins 向 BBC 展示了她收到的数百条贬低性在线消息的样本，例如，“希望你得癌症”、“为你全家准备蜡烛和棺材”以及“去地狱吧，我亏钱了，我母亲派我来的”。普通球员 Eva Lee 也表达了这种感受。“我想他要走了。在第一轮之后我受到了很多攻击，这是我第一次对这么多人攻击我感到有点不知所措。”Lee 在本赛季早些时候告诉 Tennis Channel。“通常是因为他们告诉我我应该在 Instagram 上花四倍的时间，我应该拍更好的照片，而不是这样，而应该更多地专注于练习。”有时，这里会出现自动化的仇恨帖子，并利用公众情绪来扰乱在线社区。“当我更年轻时，社交媒体有时你知道的。它是与人们建立联系的一种方式……现在它变得如此激烈，”Igo Swiatek 说道。“我无法像那样工作。‘如果你进入收件箱，那里全是傻瓜，你不会感到快乐。’”将一些针对成员、领导者的负面评论视为有趣可能很容易，而其他情况则令人恐惧并渗透到现实生活中。2019 年，一名男子在迪拜网球锦标赛期间因对英国网球明星 Emma Radhacara 表现出“丢弃行为”而被点名。Swiatek 在 2013 年迈阿密公开赛期间获得了额外的安保，此前她在练习期间遭到一名男子的言语攻击，该男子曾在社交媒体上向她发送骚扰信息。今年早些时候，两名 WTA 球员分别收到了包含枪支照片的威胁，告知她们如果输掉比赛，其家人将会受伤。这些消息是通过 WhatsApp 发给她们的，并包含关于其家人的个人细节。包括地址、电话号码以及她们驾驶的车辆。两名女性，意大利的 Lucrezia McKenzie 和匈牙利的 Fannie Udvorki，向 WTA 报告了此事， 提供了安保。警方介入后，两人分别在 Instagram 上发布了关于这些可怕经历的内容。为了对抗球员在比赛中经历的在线虐待， 和 ITF 邀请博彩业和其他机构提供帮助。“进一步的重大进展需要社交媒体公司、执法管理机构和博彩业的共同行动，” 的一份声明称。“我们将继续积极倡导这一点。” --- 814 / 商业报告

Roughriders 意在保持稳健

在周五对阵 Redblacks 的比赛之前，萨斯喀彻温队意识到一支未获胜的对手可能有多危险 JEFF BEDDREER OEGNA

萨斯喀彻温 Roughriders 队希望历史不会重演，因为未获胜的渥太华 Redblacks 队将于周五访问夏威夷体育场。Redblacks (v7) 是此次比赛的劣势方，而他们的对手是卫冕格雷杯冠军 Roughriders 队，后者在 CFL 西区以 9-2 的战绩排名第二。

当被问及一支未获胜的球队能有多危险时，萨斯喀彻温队的四分卫 Trevor Harris 和主教练 Corey Mace 回想起了一场让 Roughriders 队吃瘪的比赛。v7 (Edmonton Elks Star-Pilot) 在 Bogota 表现出色，并在 8 月 5 日以 72 分击败了战绩为 9-2 的 Roughriders 队。这里涉及 72。

“关于橄榄球，我唯一能说的是，逆境无处不在。它随处可见，”Harris 表示。“我们必须确保意识到逆境明天就会到来，任何认为他们是一支糟糕的橄榄球队伍的人都没有看比赛录像。”

“这支球队在第四节对阵 Warrating 时曾领先两个达阵，”这支球队在几周前将蒙特利尔逼到了极限。他们可能在上一场比赛中表现得不那么出色，但你经常看到职业棒球俱乐部连续两场比赛表现糟糕吗？这种情况不会发生。他们会做出回应。

这位 49 岁的四分卫表示，Riders 队需要专注于自己的比赛，而不是绝望的 Red-Blacks 会带来什么。

“我们其实并不太关注其他球队，”Harris 说。“关键在于我们如何反应，因为如果我们打出自己的风格，我永远会喜欢我们的表现。”

“我必须寻找进步的方法，显然我们得批评一些问题。但我认为我们必须保持更衣室的积极氛围，对吧？”The Middle 表示，在担任多伦多 Argonauts 主教练六个赛季后，他现在正处于担任渥太华主教练兼总经理的第一赛季。

“即使在教练组中，我们也得保持积极。我的意思是，我们可以有 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100 ”

“我只是告诉队员们不要理会外界的噪音……这一切都取决于这座建筑里的队员。我确定有些人预测我们前往萨斯喀彻温的这场比赛会输。但这并不意味着我们不能去那里并夺得一场胜利。”

萨斯喀彻温队在本赛季经历了严重的伤病潮。Ravenor Kian, Weather-Rules (knos), 防守后卫 Bolan Mil (gurs in three), 回归的 Terraglia Campbell (sneams), 跑卫 J.J. Ouellette (knos), 接球手 Sam Enslow 以及进攻线球员 Zach Fry (knos) 都在顶级比赛伤病名单上。

本赛季，萨斯喀彻温省的教练和球员们在心理上已经采用了“接替者”心态，尽管面临伤病，粗骑手队（Roughriders）仍是联盟中的顶尖球队之一。“我对这一点并不感到惊讶，因为我看到那些家伙在不停地努力，”梅斯（Mace）说道。“我们的教练做得很好。例如，他们每周会对位置组进行测试之类，无论你是否在场上比赛，你最好都能给出答案，这样就能让每个人都承担起责任。这让他们在所有会议室里都保持专注。这就是这里环境的特点。我们知道伤病必然会发生，所以如果不让人们做好准备，那就是疯狂。我对这些球员能够按照我们要求的标准执行任务并不感到惊讶。” 加拿大新闻社（THE CANADIAN PRESS）

92 / 可能参赛名单中 Lauter 表现亮眼。在 7 月 19, 夺得橡树赛（Oaks）冠军的 Lauter 将于 8 月 12. 重返 Woodbine 赛马场，参加加拿大三冠赛的首场比赛。Moria 是最近一名在 2012. 年同年赢得 Woodbine 橡树赛和国王奖杯赛（King's Plate）的马匹。在 Lauter 赢得橡树赛的同一天夺得 Woodbine 奖杯赛预赛冠军的 Highway / Infoclimon 也在奖杯赛的参赛名单之列。由于橡树赛和奖杯赛预赛的赛程距离（16 英里）和场地（Woodbine 的 Tapito）相同，它们是 92 万决赛（the final）的关键准备赛事，也是潜在竞争力的指标。Lauter 是一匹雌马，由 Josie Carroll 训练，后者是 2012 年带领 Edmonton 赢得奖杯赛的第一位女性训练师。阉马 Highway / Infoclimon 由 Dale Beavanowicz 训练。其他可能参赛的名单包括：Razard Allyma, Bond Market, Brandeis, Cavan, Dura Law, Don Iguu, Fire and Wise, 100-Year-Relation Man, Nagpal Factor, Military Time 和 Very Special。加拿大新闻社

温亚姆锦标赛首日 Ben James 落后于 Hossler 一杆

北卡罗来纳州格林布鲁克。F.Y. Yarns 报道，Jackson Korvan 并非唯一一个试图从大学赛场跨越到 PGA 巡回赛季后赛的球员。Virginia 和 Ben James 在周四的第一个 par 洞均打出老鹰球，但由于最后两洞出现博基（bogey），导致他未能与 Beau Hossler 并列领跑温亚姆锦标赛。作为常规赛的最后一项赛事，本站比赛将决定美联储杯（FedEx Cup）排名前 70 位进入季后赛的人员。James 是 PGA 巡回赛大学排名 No.1 的球员，并获得了巡回赛资格，他必须获胜才能进入前 70 名。他一度并列领跑，直到最后以博基-帕-博基结束，成绩为 16，其中两次博基均发生在错过 6 英尺的帕推（par putt）之后。Korvan 通过针对低年级学生的 PGA 巡回赛大学加速计划获得了资格。他在大二时就锁定了资格并推迟了一年使用，目前排名 No.70，处境要好得多。Korvan 把握住了几次抓鸟机会，最终成绩为 69。Hossler 在美联储杯中排名 No.122，同样必须获胜才能进入下周的首场季后赛。他在塞奇菲尔德乡村俱乐部（Sedgefield Country Club）的前九洞早早打出连续四个小鸟球，并在最后一洞通过在 par-five 洞推进一个 10 英尺的老鹰推球来巩固优势。“尝试赢得一场高尔夫锦标赛，”Hossler 说，“就是这么简单。” James 作为 PGA 巡回赛大学排名 No.2 且持有巡回赛资格的球员，必须获胜才能进入前 70 名。James 在 KRC 加拿大公开赛中曾领先 50 英尺，在职业首秀的周末排名之前，他在第 9 洞推进一个 10 英尺的老鹰推球，使他追上了 Benson。在有机会再次推进 10 英尺老鹰球时，他在 par-time 第 10 洞在 10 英尺以内出现了三推，落后于第 7 位，随后在第一个 10 洞未能击中果岭，或者球掉到 9 英尺处并错过了帕推。尽管如此，在这样一个许多球员都知道必须打出低分且排名靠前才能晋级的赛事中，这是一个令人印象深刻的开局。James 表示：“每周总有人在第一天打出 6 到 10 或 10 的成绩，所以这很正常。你只需要让自己处于有利位置，尽力而为。” 来自安大略省里士满山的 Taylor Ponderk 是完成首轮比赛的加拿大球员，以 4 杆低于标准杆的成绩并列第 2。来自安大略省邓迪的 Mackenzie Hughes 以 2 杆低于标准杆并列第 1 / 8。来自不列颠哥伦比亚省萨里（Surrey, B.C.）的 Adam Svensson、安大略省索恩希尔（Thornhill, Ont.）的 Ben Silverman 以及不列颠哥伦比亚省阿伯特福德（Abbrooke, B.C.）的 Nick Taylor 均以 1 杆低于标准杆并列第 7 / 8。一名来自不列颠哥伦比亚省高贵林（Coquillum, B.C.）的 1.1 英尺球员以 1 杆高于标准杆并列第 1 / 8，但在比赛暂停时，他的首轮比赛还剩一个洞。没有人比 Judith Thorgala 的一轮比赛更诡异，他的季后赛机会全部在 No.2。他在前九洞没有一个帕洞——包括老鹰球、小鸟球和一个博基。随后他在后九洞只能勉强打出帕，直到他在第 10 洞通过近距离进攻抓到小鸟，成绩为 10。美联社 --- 813

澳大利亚授予伊朗女足运动员公民身份

ROD MCGUIRE 澳大利亚，墨尔本 两名于今年3月在澳大利亚声称患有自闭症（claimed autism）的伊朗女足队员已被授予公民身份。Eugenech Foundation 和 Jericho Komsomitashik 在周四的一份声明中表示，移民任务信托广播（Immigration Mission Trust Radio）在前一天于她们在澳大利亚的居住城市布里斯班举行的一场公民身份仪式上为她们举行了宣誓仪式。 “澳大利亚是一个真正特别的、最重要的国家，我对成为澳大利亚公民深表感激。澳大利亚已经成长为建立生活且不成为世界顶尖之总和的机会。但我在这里找到了，”Komsomitashik 在声明中说道。Komsomitashik 表示，前成员和成员将永远是她的一部分。Foundation 周三表示，这是我一生中最快乐的日子之一！ “我非常自豪且感激能正式成为一名澳大利亚公民。在我们经历的一切以及面对的所有挑战之后，这一刻的意义超出了我们的表达，”Foundation 说道。 澳大利亚主教委员会（The Bishops Council of Australia）是一个代表寻求庇护者和难民的非营利伞形组织，通常要求在申请公民身份前持有有效签证在澳大利亚居住四年。她们的公民身份原本可能被，但根据澳大利亚法律达到了条件，使她们有资格为澳大利亚队踢球。 这两名伊朗球员以非共产主义助产士的身份加入了澳大利亚精英 A-League Women's 美国赛事的布里斯班队，此前她们在被妇女联盟除名且澳大利亚应当采取行动后被授予庇护权。她们最初是接受庇护的七名伊朗女性中的成员，但其中一些人在几天内改变了主意并出于不明原因回到了球队。该球队在2月于美国和当地详细贷款前曾在澳大利亚服务。 美联社

小熊队利用蓝鸟队 7 局失误锁定胜局

辛辛那提 Pike Crow Armstrong 在 Alex Bergman 之后，在左侧局中没有提供更多时机。他在第六局两出局后表现更好，芝加哥小熊队在周四以 2-week 战胜了多伦多蓝鸟队。Crow Armstrong 在对阵 Jim Little (2-3) 的第 6 局领跑，但自动次要 Carmel Kelly 在原处被出局。这位 MVP 候选人随后击出了一次旧击球，然后在美国比赛中获得了一次单次加班三垒手两手，允许 Crow Armstrong 冲回本垒。他在触碰本垒前摘掉了头盔，然后将其扔进新闻网，随后被队友们拥抱。 这是芝加哥队本赛季第 6 次获得胜利，目前处于第 16 次外卡的位置。Bergman 用他本赛季的第 6 支本垒打迫使了额外时机。Crow Armstrong 在对阵蓝鸟队终结投手 Loan Varkand 的第 6 局以一支单打领跑，后者随后让接下来的两名击球手出局，并在转让前对阵 Bergman，更多地捕捉到了球板中心，而 Bergman 将球击过了墙外。Varkand 在轮换情况中曾保持 24 场 24 次记录。 小熊队在经历了一场疲惫的 Bridges 之后，在 27 天的 67 场比赛中取得了 10-2 的战绩。由于下雨，与多伦多队的比赛从 6 月 25 日重新安排。Town Thornton (3-4) 在第 6 局上半场化解了危机。多伦多队浪费了 Brian Crow 的出色表现，他在第 6 局表现出色并在七局中三振。Alexander Kirk 为蓝鸟队贡献了 6-0 3-for，蓝鸟队在得分位置上 16 次击球中 6 次成功，留下了四名女性。多伦多二垒手 Luis Ursa 在第四局中途离开，似乎在跑二垒时受伤。

接下来的比赛 蓝鸟队将在周五于费城派出新收购的 José Sotulano (4-5, 2-6 ERA) 对阵 BHP Club Wheeler (10-5, 2-6)。前蓝鸟队球员 Kevin Gaisman (3-6-6, 2-6) 将在周五于堪萨斯城完成他在小熊队的首秀。 美联社

SPORTSNET 将不会为即将到来的 NHL 赛季续签冰球评论员 KELLY WRIGHT 的合同

加拿大舞者成为美国艺术机构领导者

在经历了卓越的表演生涯后，她在 Joffrey Ballet 指导过罗纳德·里根的儿子，随后这位美国总统任命她担任国家艺术委员会（National Council on the Arts）的显赫职务。

REBECCA RITZEL Sally Brayley Bliss 是一位才华横溢的伦敦人、加拿大舞者，她在芭蕾舞与美国政治的交汇点上开启了生活事业。她在病后于 6 月 10 在密苏里州圣路易斯去世，其子告知。在加拿大国家芭蕾舞团（National Ballet of Canada）开启职业生涯后，她在纽约的主要舞台上起舞，随后成为该艺术形式的全球倡导者，曾指导一位美国总统的儿子，并在 Joffrey Ballet、Antony Tudor Ballet Trust 和 Dance St. Louis 担任领导职务。

Sally Brayley 6, 1927, 出生于英格兰伦敦。童年时期，她随家人多次搬迁，以追随其父亲（加拿大新闻社 sowralist Jack ）的职业轨迹。在纽约和蒙特利尔的驻地为她的幼女提供了舞蹈机会，但在 1960 年代初其家人定居的地方，选择则较为有限。 最终在那里成为了著名的负责人，而他的妻子，艺术家 Evrenia (children) 则是纽约艺术与设计学院的董事会成员。

1958, 女士离开家前往多伦多，每天参加 Betty Higham 的课程，这位指导者的（theobroma theory）研究直接引导她进入了国家芭蕾舞团。据她自己所述， 女士在训练中进度落后，被分到了一个年轻舞者的班级，但她决心赶上来。她接了一些剧院和音乐会的演出，并于 1958 年 4 月参加了 CBC 的才艺节目。

“我的目标是加入加拿大国家芭蕾舞团，”她在《Early Years, Early dancers》以及 John York（关于该公司发展历史的著作，出版于 1958）中这样说道。但这位舞者的晋升并非理所当然。“你的类型技能如何？”公司创始人 Celia Franca 曾这样问她，据其子 Tim Bliss 称，“这让她很困惑，”他说。

经过六个月的课程， 女士受邀加入这家初创公司，并在其薪资和志愿者培训的 6, 年间一直留在舞团。在《Early Years, Early dancers》中，她描述了一次前往佛蒙特州的特别漫长的车程，舞者们在车厢里化好妆。“当我们终于到达时，全体观众都聚集在街上迎接我们，”她回忆道。剧院很小，地板很脏，但演出继续进行了。她说，演出后，艺术的第一片披萨是“美味的”。

她的角色既包括在 Coppola 中大胆且激昂的丰盈之姿，也包括在 Antony Tudor 的作品中扮演维多利亚时代的盛大派对宾客。她的首次成功源于 Tudor 先生，他在 Franca 女士在现名为 American Dance 的英国公司起舞时曾是她的导师，他允许加拿大国家芭蕾舞团免费表演他的芭蕾舞剧。对于资金匮乏的公司来说，这是一个重点，这也让 女士进入了这位编舞者的视线。（在 Tudor 先生 1957, 去世后，她成为了其父亲和合作者的唯一导师。

1973, 女士离开多伦多前往纽约，加入由著名 Rallies Ranson 和 Rallies in the Allies Festival 新成立的都会歌剧院芭蕾舞团（Metropolitan Opera Ballet）。当时， 女士正处于她最佳的早晨，重新塑造，而 Anthony Bliss——一名律师且是著名的都会歌剧院成员——正结束他与国家芭蕾舞团的第二次婚姻。当 Bliss 先生采取第一次行动时，这位年轻的舞者并不感冒，拒绝与“一些灰发的老家伙”约会，这在当时看来是如此。经过考虑，求爱进展迅速，他说。他们于 1957 结婚。

1956年，莎莉·布雷利（Sally Brayley）为了在加拿大国家芭蕾舞团（National Ballet of Canada）跳舞而搬到多伦多。尽管与同龄人相比在训练上有所落后，但她决心赶上，在经过六个月的舞蹈训练后受邀加入该舞团，随后她出演了诸如《大都市》（The Metropolis，左图）和《光辉花园》（Glor Garden）等作品。照片由 OTH BELT / 94 NATIONAL SELECT OF CANADA 提供。她曾在接受《纽约时报》采访时将他描述为“最不择手段且最‘真实’的人”。她说：“我为了衣服才忍受他。他没有任何美食本能。我喂他什么他都吃。”布利斯先生对此的回应是在他在大都会歌剧院（Metropolitan Opera）担任总经理期间（1973年至1976年），在办公桌上放了一罐狗粮。为了避免出现利益冲突的迹象，布雷利·布利斯女士离开了大都会歌剧院，加入了乔弗里芭蕾舞团（The Joffrey Ballet），这是一个比美国芭蕾舞剧院（American Ballet Theatre）和纽约市芭蕾舞团（New York City Ballet）更具实验性和种族多样性的喧闹舞团。在育有两个年幼儿子的同时，布雷利·布利斯女士成为了 Joffrey II 的总监，这是一个开始广泛巡演的领导舞团。“她依然在兼顾家庭，”1973年至1975年期间 Joffrey II 的一名舞者瑞秋·坎纳瓦莫·理查兹（Rachel Cannavamo Richards）说道，“但她是带着微笑去做这些事的。她有一个美丽的微笑。”另一位前乔弗里舞者帕特里克·科宾（Patrick Corbin）将类似的情况称为“布利斯炸弹”。在20世纪70年代初，职场母亲在舞蹈界是一个罕见案例。布雷利·布利斯女士在早晨授课时非常注重仪容的完美，几乎在长雪纺衬衫下掩盖了所有琐碎。坎纳瓦莫·理查兹女士说：“她总是平易近人，并且能体谅那些男性领导者无法体谅的事情。”“你可以去找莎莉，因为她更具同理心，她总能倾听那些令人困扰的事情，”坎纳瓦莫·理查兹回忆道。布雷利·布利斯女士还将这种关怀延伸到帮助舞者职业生涯中，包括帮助坎纳瓦莫·理查兹女士等舞者调整舞鞋颜色，以匹配她们的肤色，因为观众将她们的腿视为一条流畅、干净的线条。有一次，身为黑人的坎纳瓦莫·理查兹被提升到主舞团，“那时得重新穿回粉色舞鞋了，”她回忆道。1974年，布雷利·布利斯女士迎来了一位背景不寻常的门生。肯·里根（Ken Reagan）是加利福尼亚州州长、美国总统罗纳德·里根（Ronald Reagan）的儿子。“他就像一个有趣、纤细、脚型优美、没有赘肉的人，他跳起舞来像天使一样，”布雷利·布利斯在描述第一次在课堂上看到里根先生时说道。美国特勤局随舞团Wherever，包括在一次国际战争期间访问香港。1975年一个寒冷的三月下午，特勤局敲开了舞团在内布拉斯加州bond room的大门，迅速将肯·里根和他的妻子多莉亚·里根（Doria Reagan）带走，场面十分混乱。总统遭到枪击，布雷利·布利斯女士在面对一名舞者和媒体压力时说道：“我们要离开剧院了。我们非常难过，”她告诉《林肯日报》（Lincoln Journal）的一名记者。她依然在兼顾家庭。但她是带着微笑去做这些事的。她有一个美丽的微笑。你可以去找莎莉，因为她更具母性，她总能倾听那些令人困扰的事情。NAONY, GANTIZARO RICHARDS 加拿大艺术大学 1973年至1975年。在为期一个月的舞团排练期间，总统之子在失业队伍中排队的照片引起了全国关注。当里根女士在1973年离开乔弗里舞团，理由是资深舞团对舞者的待遇不佳时，明日专栏作家威廉·F·巴克利（William F. Buckley Jr.）利用这一事件来促进表演艺术。巴克利写道，年轻的里根先生决定离开耶鲁大学追求舞蹈，对未来来说是一次“可怕的经历”。“我是总统和他的妻子。这样的决定在任何家庭都难以被接受，在这个家庭里，这引起了真正的震惊。”

然而，总统对布雷利·布利斯女士（Ms. Brayley Bliss）心怀怨恨，而在 1976 年，她似乎成功地成为了国家艺术委员会（National Council on the Arts）的一员，这是一个为美国国家艺术基金会（NEX）提供建议的联邦机构，而后者是该国最大的公共文化资金来源。布利斯女士强调，她的母亲将这次任命视为一项非政治性的荣誉，且她对总统或其政策没有任何个人忠诚。“她极其认真地对待这件事，将其视为对艺术和国家的服务，”他说。然而，布雷利·布利斯女士当时并不知道，她正踏入一个动荡的六年周期，期间 NEX 将因支持争议性展览而受到指责，包括罗伯特·库格勒索普（Robert Kuglerthorpe）的男性摄影作品以及关于图像 ProCleris 的研究。在 1976 年，那些此前大多只是敷衍认可的委员会成员们发现自己陷入了困境。文化历史学家艾萨克·赖特（Isaac Reiter）在其著作《完美时刻：上帝、性、艺术与美国文化人的诞生》（The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art, and the Birth of America's Culture Men）——一部关于那个动荡 era 的历史——中写道：“该委员会拥有巨大的象征权力，这种权力源于其成员的时间以及他们在各自领域所拥有的原始影响力。”“那是极其艰苦的工作，也是一个脆弱的时期，”她在 1977 年的一次演讲中说道。“能参与其中是我的荣幸，但这可能是我人生中最艰难的经历之一。”

布雷利·布利斯女士及其同事发现自己处于重大政策利益的交汇点，包括立法者改变了 NEX 的态度，将其从资助艺术个体艺术家（作家除外）转变为其他形式。直到今天，这一限制继续扼杀着美国艺术家的创作，并使美国仅资助非营利组织的模式显得与众不同。这种做法与加拿大及许多其他国家建立的规范不同。

1980 年代后期，情况在国家芭蕾舞团（National Ballet Company）中也同样复杂。创始人罗伯特·乔弗雷（Robert Joffrey）长期试图对其 1970 年的诊断保密，但在其 1980 年去世之前，发现总统安东尼·布利斯（Anthony Bliss）策划让他的妻子取代乔弗雷先生。然而，布雷利·布利斯女士否认知晓这一计划。 “首先，我从未谈论过这件事，因为我们觉得对他来说，最大的威胁是猎犬、人员的流失、人员的流失，”以及乔弗雷先生的传记作者。在 1970 年代，有些人确信乔弗雷先生的合伙人杰拉尔德·阿尔皮诺（Gerald Arpino）可以管理公司，而另一些人则认为布雷利·布利斯女士应该掌权，由阿尔皮诺先生担任她的驻团编舞。当阿尔皮诺先生拒绝讨论后一种安排时，布雷利·布利斯女士向他发送了一封类似卡桑德拉式的严厉谴责信，宣布退出公司。“做好准备，这里可能会很艰难，”她写道。她是正确的。如果没有布利斯家族的支持和关系，乔弗雷舞团无法在纽约生存。舞团随后迁往芝加哥，并一直留在那里至今。

尽管职业生涯如走钢丝般惊险，但据其儿子称，布雷利·布利斯女士从未忘记童年的助产士，她习惯于孩子们的学校手册，就像习惯于芭蕾舞团一样。她还优先考虑在诺瓦斯科舍省度过夏天。由于她的儿子们当时在读高中，在面试中她成功说服校长让她为男孩们教授一门基于舞蹈的体育课。布利斯先生说，她的思想领先于时代，并试图减轻男性舞蹈所面临的污名。

在晚年，她的儿子说，她担任了“许多董事会”的职务。从 1977 年到 1978 年，她参与了安东尼·都铎芭蕾舞信托基金（Antony Tudor Ballet Trust），监督那些上演该编舞家作品的公司的许可权和指导工作。1980 年，布雷利·布利斯女士意外收到一份接管舞蹈领导权的邀请。1984 年，一个在美中地区组织巡演公司的组织邀请了她。布利斯先生说，他的母亲从未局限于芭蕾作品，她扩展了舞蹈的受众，预订了科学和嘻哈先驱罗尼·班图（Ronnie Bantu）。当她在 1985 年退休时，她获得了密苏里州颁发的艺术领导力奖。

在生命的最后时刻，布雷利·布利斯女士在家人的陪伴下，依然渴望在汉普顿度夏，在那里她会前往新斯科舍省探望亲人，并在爱德华王子岛自己的度假屋中放松身心。除了她的儿子蒂姆·布利斯和马克·布利斯，她还有第三任丈夫詹姆斯·康奈尔，两个孙女，两个孙子，六个继子女，七个继孙辈，以及四个继曾孙辈。她的第二任丈夫、父母以及曾在皇家骑警（Royal Canadian Mounted Police）服役的哥哥约翰·布雷利早于她去世。全球邮报特别提示：如需提交“我记得（I Remember）”栏目内容，请发送至 akh@globalandmail.com。请向我们发送关于某人的回忆，我们将将其准确刊登在讣告页面上。请在邮件中注明“我记得”或相关主题 --- 全球邮报

独自寻找家园

厌倦了与室友共处，Parm Bains 开始寻找一个属于自己的空间

买家的绝佳机会：急于搬迁的业主

卡罗琳·爱尔兰 (CAROLYN IRELAND) 多伦多

多伦多地区房地产市场的一些买家正在发现一些交易机会，这是一个新兴现象的结果：卖家疲劳。这一观察结果来自总部位于多伦多的 Realosophy Realty 的经纪人兼总裁约翰·帕萨利克 (John Pasalic)，他发现随着安大略省的价格在四年多时间里持续走低，卖家的心态出现了日益扩大的分歧。结果，市场观察者经常看到一些房产的成交价远超预期，而另一些则远低于预期。

“当我们看到一些毫无逻辑的奇怪交易时，我们就得做一些功课，”他说。他说，在某些情况下，房产存在挂牌信息中未显现的缺陷，但如今许多卖家是由于渴望开启新篇章而急于出售。帕萨利克先生说，这对许多买家来说似乎违背直觉，但一个持有房屋 15 年的人在价格上的灵活性可能远高于近年来购房且面临亏本出售的卖家。

虽然许多人认为处于财务困境的业主会更愿意快速达成交易，但 Realosophy 的经纪人看到大量卖家拥有充足的资产净值，只是想要继续他们的人生。

约翰·帕萨利克 (John Pasalic)，总部位于多伦多的 Realosophy Realty 的经纪人兼总裁，表示最近一些房产的成交价高于预期，而另一些则远低于预期。（RED GOM 全球邮报）

“你不会太在意多出的 50 英镑——尤其是如果你在心理上已经决定离开并准备好搬走时，”帕萨利克先生说。有时代表卖家的经纪人会建议客户他们可以获得更多资金。

“但他们拒绝了，”帕萨利克先生惊讶地说道。他指出最近的一笔交易，买家提交了一个低价出价，而卖家迅速表示接受。帕萨利克先生建议通过反向报价进行签约，但卖家担心买家会被吓跑并放弃交易。他说，卖家对风险的判断没有错，而且确实有一些买家拒绝谈判。他补充道，是否接受最终由业主决定。

情感因素也可能占据一定分量——尤其是当买家很年轻时。他举例说，在一种情况下，业主是一位单身女性购入的房屋，她很高兴另一位年轻女性成为了买家。

帕萨利克先生敦促代表买家的经纪人深入研究房产历史，并与挂牌经纪人沟通，后者有时会透露出令人惊讶的背景信息。

帕萨利克先生注意到另一个萌芽趋势的增加：一些经纪人正在使用人工智能来估算房屋价值。有些人使用 AI 助手 Claude，而另一些人则转向专注于房地产的初创公司。一名在前往挂牌演示途中的经纪人可能会要求：以精美的演示文稿形式呈现估值结果。

他说，对于消费者而言，风险在于房产中介将更加依赖这项技术，而数据可能并不准确。

“房屋估值不是一门科学——其中 50% 是艺术，”帕萨利克先生说。他表示，一些贸易分析通过照片进行评估，而照片可能会产生误导。（HOLLAND, MS）

这位厨师在温哥华购买一房公寓的预算为 $500,000

在搬到这座城市以来一直住在合租公寓后，这位 33 岁的年轻人准备独立生活 ANDREA YU Penn Bains 在维多利亚长大，并在 2022 年 19 岁时搬到温哥华，追求成为一名厨师的职业生涯。从那时起，他在全市各地的餐厅工作（目前他在 Rogers Arena 担任厨师）期间一直与室友合租公寓。“在二十岁出头的时候，与室友合租有其魅力，”现在 25 岁的 Bains 先生说。“然后你开始渴望隐私、自由和个人空间。”他最近在 Marjorie 的一栋联排别墅中租了一间房，每月租金为 16,000。直到 2023 年， 先生才考虑购买自己的房产。“我得到了今天，这是一个巨大的转折点，”他说。随着他对生活做出积极改变并节省了更多资金，有一天在温哥华购买一套公寓成为了一个现实的目标。随后，在 2023 年夏天， 先生的父亲提出为他的首付款提供帮助，这使他具备了购买条件。在 2024 年初， 先生开始认真寻找公寓。他为一套一房一卫的单元设定了 $500,000 的预算。由于他开车，他需要一个停车位，但靠近 McTwin 车站也是 2024 年他想要采取公共交通的一种方式。他还希望单元明亮，有充足的自然光和极佳的视野。“在过去的 12 年里，我住过很多地下室单元，” 先生解释道。此外，他的必备清单上还包括私人阳台和共享健身房。就位置而言，他希望留在温哥华，以便能轻松地在市中心与朋友见面。 先生寻求了他的朋友、作者 Philip Twain 的帮助来指导他的搜索。“随着供应数量的减少和库存的增加，这表明市场正在变得更加成熟，”Twain 先生在谈到目前的公寓市场时说。“现在真的是一个购买的好时机。”以下是 先生的前三个选择：

温哥华市中心的角单位 先生非常喜欢这套一房一卫、25 平方英尺的公寓，它位于温哥华市中心的核心地带，在 8:00 AM 和三条街道之间。前往工作地需要 25 分钟的公共交通行程或 8 分钟的车程。这个角单位非常明亮，带有

位于 SEMPEROR COLLINGWOOD 带景观的单元 当 先生第一次搬到温哥华时，他在那栋公寓楼施工期间租住了同一条街上的一个公寓。“我会心想，‘天哪，住在那里一定很棒，’”他回忆道。这里距离市中心较远，但他仍然可以通过 25 分钟的公共交通行程或 25 分钟的车程到达，且该单元配备停车位。这座建筑可追溯至 2024 年，拥有从墙到天花板的窗户，非常明亮，且

厨房配备了包括燃气灶在内的不锈钢电器。他喜欢它有阳台，且由于位于 10 层，拥有从城市到山脉的绝佳视野。但卧室太小，放不下一张 queen man town 床。该单元面积仅为 25 平方英尺，价格为 $25,000。

位于 JOYCE-COLLINGWOOD 带有独立厨房的旧单元

虽然这套公寓是他参观的三个地点中最远的，但它靠近 Joyce-Collingwood 的 McTwin 车站，从那里到 Rogers Arena 仅需 25 分钟。Bains 先生非常喜欢该单元定义明确的厨房，以及通往宽敞起居和用餐区的过道。卧室足够宽敞，可以容纳一张大号床和淋浴间，阳台则拥有绝佳的山景和蝴蝶状的天际线。然而，该单元较为陈旧（建筑建于 2024 年），电器老化需要更换，台面也已过时。这套 25 平方英尺的单元挂牌价为 $25,000，并包含一个停车位。他的家：位于 JOYCE-COLLINGWOOD 带有独立厨房的旧单元。考虑到其有限的占地面积，那个小单元被排除在考虑范围之外。Bains 先生几乎就对市中心的公寓提交了报价，但最终选择了那个旧单元。“这是我看到的第一个感觉更好的地方之一，”他解释道。相比市中心的公寓，这个社区更安静且绿化更好，也很有吸引力。“这是一个以行人导向的社区，附近有公园、网球场和棒球场，”他说。Bains 先生在 2024, 4 月购买了这套公寓，并在几周后搬入。“这很自然，”他在谈到购买时说道。“没有室友的感觉太棒了。在 12 小时的轮班结束后回家，能够直接瘫在沙发上看电视，感觉非常好。”虽然陈旧的电器给他带来了一些麻烦——冰箱漏水，且一个阀门需要更换——但他很享受扮演业余修理工。到目前为止，他对该单元进行的唯一工作是重新刷漆，但他正计划投入 10% 改造台面，并将逐步把电器更换为不锈钢型号。为了接待从维多利亚造访的朋友，Bains 先生购买了一款抽拉沙发床。但当他的父母来访时，他会睡沙发，把卧室让给他们。“他们很高兴，因为不用再付酒店房费了，”他开玩笑说。他预计自己会在这套单元里住至少五年。“我现在在这里非常开心，”他说。“对我来说，这极大地改善了心情，仅仅是拥有一个可以称之为家的地方。”

随着分离公投临近，艾伯塔省住房市场出现不安情绪

部分房地产经纪人表示，独立运动尚未产生实质性影响，但预计市场在投票临近时可能会下跌 SALWARA FARGOUDI

如果在家中悬挂一面加拿大国旗会引起争议，那么在出售房屋时，您会怎么做？

艾伯塔省的分离运动表明，有必要在10月举行一次关于独立问题的公投。卡尔加里房地产经纪人 Rebecca Chamberlain 建议房屋卖家避免这样做。她最近建议一名客户将其试图出售的房产上的加拿大国旗取下来——她说，对于任何可能让潜在买家产生分歧的政治或宗教符号，她都会这么做。

“这只是人们产生分歧的另一个原因，”Chamberlain 女士说，她表示自己不想成为任何政治信仰的平台。在这种情况下，她的客户明确希望将房子卖给反对分离的人。“我的想法是，‘好吧，我只关心为您争取到最多的钱。’”

现实主义者和分析人士表示，分离运动将进一步增加不确定性，而这种不确定性已导致今年的房价增长戛然而止。

一些房地产经纪人认为，独立运动尚未对房产产生实质性影响，但预计市场在投票临近时可能会下跌，而如果公投成功，跌幅可能会更大。

卡尔加里和埃德蒙顿市场已经受到近期房价暴跌以及其他省际和国际移民影响的困扰。根据数字房地产平台和估值服务提供商 RPI 的统计数据，去年夏天，这两个城市的表现优于大多数加拿大主要市场，7月份埃德蒙顿的同比价格增长率为 7%，卡尔加里为 5%。

而今年夏天，卡尔加里的房价已连续四个月同比下降 5%，埃德蒙顿在6月的增长率则放缓至仅 1%。

卡尔加里房地产委员会首席经济学家 Ann-Marie Lane 表示，围绕商业投资、就业市场以及人们想要搬离艾伯塔省风险的不确定性，将减缓房地产市场的复苏。

卡尔加里已连续四个月同比销售额下降。(4月 30-31 / 31)

她表示，卡尔加里的崩溃市场正面临价格快速下跌和大量新供应，需要大量移民增加才能稳定。“每个人都将经历一次正式公投，这是一个风险，且会对移民流产生不利影响，”她说。

她举了魁北克省的例子，该省在 1970 年代到 1980 年代的分离运动期间，经历了数十年的居民流出和房价滞后。

卡尔加里商会 6 月的一项民意调查发现，其成员企业中有一半表示，如果分离成功，他们将离开。商会估计，分裂可能会给该省带来数十亿加元的经济损失。

这种人口外流可能会使前省长 Jason Kenney 在 1992 年发起的“艾伯塔在召唤”活动产生反效果，该活动试图通过宣传其相对较低的房地产价格和较高的薪资来吸引加拿大人。当时，数以万计的省际移民（通常来自安大略省和 BC 省）搬到了该省。

Lane 女士表示，房地产行业的大部分关注点都在魁北克公投的结果上。她说，如果分离运动取得成功，可能会导致住房价值明显下降。

卡尔加里抵押贷款经纪人 Joe Jacobs 也持有相同观点。“如果发展到要举行全面公投的地步，那么市场可能会出现抛售风险，”Jacobs 先生在提到分离进程必须进行的第二次公投时说道。

然而，在埃德蒙顿和卡尔加里担任 Colwell Banker Mountain Central 经纪人兼所有者的 Vanovermeins 表示，他认为艾伯塔省房地产市场的部分放缓已经可以归因于分离运动。“我们目前正在与一些决定将计划推迟到明年的人员合作，”Vanovermeins 先生说，“人们在观望并表示：‘嘿，我想再等一段时间再投票，因为我想要确定性。’”不过，Vanovermeins 先生表示，他乐观地认为市场将会好转。像许多其他小众省份一样，他认为艾伯塔省省长 Danielle Smith 是希望为该省争取更好的待遇，而不是真的要分离。Smith 省长认为，由于石油和天然气产业，即使分离真的发生，该省在这次运动后也将处于更好的经济地位。“无论我们是否是加拿大的一部分，艾伯塔省都有强大的经济引擎，”Vanovermeins 先生说。

爱尔兰：专家称价格上涨还需两到三年 © FRIDAY, 2020

“某些事情仅从照片中是看不出来的。你会吃亏的。”帕苏洛先生表示，一些卖家的灵活性高于他的预期，但他强调并非所有人都持有这种心态。在许多情况下，房主仍然不愿在价格上做出让步，而是坚持要求达到邻居在 2020. 年初市场巅峰时期所实现的价格。他们关注的是其房产的估值，以及他们可能会少卖例如 $100,000 的事实。

“这其中涉及很多心理因素，”帕苏洛先生说。“他们是以峰值为参照，而不是以他们的买入价为参照。”

尽管如此，帕苏洛先生观察到固执的卖家正逐渐减少。大约三年前，许多人仍在等待利率下调或其他能够刺激反弹的催化剂。现在，许多人对价格下跌表现得更为无奈。

“在多伦多，我们不习惯五年之久的低迷市场，”他指出。“等待并不意味着你会得到更多钱——有时这意味着你会得到更少的钱。”

一些多伦多房主不愿接受低于最高点 10 或 20% 的价值。他说，这可能是挂牌量下降的原因之一，大多伦多地区 6 月的新挂牌量较去年同月有所下降。

GTA 的市场低迷已经持续了足够长的时间，以至于一些房主开始期待复苏——即便价格上涨还需要两到三年。加拿大国家银行的高级经济学家 Alexandra Bucharme 表示，近期安大略省销售额的改善表明，负担能力的提高吸引了一些额外的买家回到市场。

该经济学家表示，考虑到 2020, 年的剧烈转型，以及今年年初几个月极低的销售水平，出现一定的正常化并不令人惊讶。然而，警告称，安大略省销售额的增长应被视为从低迷水平的恢复，而非潜在实力的迹象，因为按历史标准衡量，销售额仍然处于极低水平。

对于未来，帕苏洛先生预计市场将在一段时间内继续低迷。他认为，一些预测 2020 年下半年价格将上涨的预估过于乐观。在他最近的市场更新以及与市场观察者的问答中，他指出了 GTA 低层住宅的“库存月份”，6 月份该指标略低于四个月。

该指标衡量的是按当前的销售速度售完现有挂牌房产所需的时间。随着更多供应被吸收，“库存月份”下降到 GTA 销售额的 10 或 20% 时，价格将进入平台期。

他说，大多数潜在买家需要看到一段稳定期才会充满信心地回归。“我们仍处于周期的这个阶段，大多数买家仍然希望以低于邻居在两、三、四周前成交的价格买入，”他说。“每个人都想要一个稍微好一点的价格。”

正面扩建为房屋营造出温馨氛围

起初只是一个小工程，最终演变成了对房屋主层空间的全面重新构思 DAVE LAILARC ■ WACHTOMIST

我是从一个盥洗室开始的。有时事情就是这样发展的。Peranson 夫妇在 Withrow Park 附近的多伦多家中已经拥有充足的空间，因为在他们 2003 年购入之前，该房屋在多年间已经经过了全面的翻新和扩建。

“我们有很多浴室，但主层没有，”斯沃茨女士（Ms. Swartz）说道。她回忆起向 Good Standing Architects 的乔安娜·迈尔斯（Joanne Myers）和杰苏斯·舒尔曼（Jesus Shulman）展示一个衣帽间时的情况，她认为那个衣帽间只需简单改造就能变成一个水洗间。

但随后，那个有问题的前厅出现了。狭窄的空间让人在行走时肘部相撞，而且通往主层的楼梯意味着年长的亲戚在享用美酒佳肴之前就已经气喘吁吁了。

“你知道，如果我们打算安装盥洗室，那么现在的问题是，我们真正想要的是什么？”Peranson 女士说。“这是一个关于‘再多花 20-mc-more’，还是‘打造我们真正想要的东西’的问题。”

舒尔曼女士笑着说，这本来就是一座宽敞且漂亮的房子。“当乔安娜和我第一次走进去时，我们问：‘你们为什么要叫我们来？’”

当然，还有那个厨房。它位于房屋正面——大家都认为这很不寻常——在大型家庭聚会期间（就是那些气喘吁吁的长辈在场的时候），那里会变得像沙丁鱼罐头一样拥挤。

“以前，中岛要小得多，”Peranson 女士说。“人们会把厨房填满。”

房屋后方面向花园的是一个漂亮的客厅，摆满了舒适的家具和有趣的艺术品。“我们非常喜欢他们客厅的比例，”迈尔斯女士热情地说道——但现实是，现代的房屋访客不再聚集在客厅里了。

然后是厨房那个不寻常的门，它通向一个小的前廊。那不是主门——主门在侧面——所以造成了很多混乱。

“邮件会被淋湿，”Peranson 女士说。“（快递员）会把包裹扔在那儿，但人们会说，‘看，我怎么进去？’”

于是，工程从简单的盥洗室变成了全面的正面重新配置。拆除那个走廊门，将厨房向前院方向扩建 2.75 米。与 Harbor Moynihan 合作改变景观设计，引导客人的脚步走向房屋的左侧。哦，还将台阶设在正门外的前方，这样年长的客人直到按下门铃时已经可以缓过气来。

由于房屋已经具有“大胆的外观”和繁复的外墙，为什么不使用粗糙的砖块来进行扩建呢？我还买了一些支撑主门上方顶篷的构件。

“这不像典型的多伦多房屋，”舒尔曼女士笑着说。“有一种工业风，这引导我们采用了外露钢材……这不是一座精致的房子。”

“我们真正戴上了建筑师的帽子，”迈尔斯女士补充道。她与舒尔曼女士在 2012 年共同创立了这家全女性事务所。“这比典型的项目要深思熟虑得多。”

初次到访者从人行道走来时，脑海中会产生许多想法。他们可能会停下来观察所有的窗户——尤其是如果正值黄昏且厨房灯亮着时——并对着那根巨大的 I 型钢梁感到困惑。

在正（侧）门处，当门开启，露出干净、宽敞、无杂物、安全且每样东西都有挂钩的空间时，他们可能会闻到红木的香味（本文作者就闻到了）。

在欣赏了一幅精美的 Norval Morrisseau 版画后，他们会右转，再次在窗户下停步，看向全新的厨房。

“天哪，太漂亮了，”他们可能会这样说，而且他们是对的。这里同样是一个让所有东西各就其位的地方——通过充足的空间，小型电器和人们各得其所。一个巨大的、大胆的整体，以及一个城市，在取代了走廊的大型摆动窗下的石英石台面上交汇。

这栋位于多伦多东区的住宅经过翻新并进行了扩建，由 Good Standing Architects 的 Joanne Myers 和 Jesus Shulman 设计。房子的门廊门被拆除，外部向前院推进了 2.75 米。照片由 NILEY SHULMAN 拍摄。

“我们绘制了每件电器的图纸，”Myers 女士笑着说，“我们想确保每样东西都有其位置……台面上不会摆放任何东西，所有物品都有安置之处。”

“在较小规模的项目中，你可以多花一些心思，”Shulman 女士补充道。这些心思体现在照明方面——例如 Pablo Tormo 街（岛台上方区域，大胆选择了黑色带纹理的大理石作为台面、搁板和背板玻璃），青铜色的抽油烟机，以及选择不安装任何形式的百叶窗或窗帘。虽然新立面的“内凹”设计并非必要，但它在厨房的工作区与休息 / 用餐区之间创造了一个便捷的过渡。

“这种内凹是一种建筑手法，”Myers 女士说，“你可以认为如果将其向外推，可以拥有更长的台面，增加更多趣味……而[业主]对此非常认同。”

还有那个开启这一切的盥洗室！虽然这是这家年轻公司承接的“最小”项目，但它色调深沉、平滑且富有质感，并安装了一个由 Sharpton Lighting 生产、名为“Sturrock, Nova”的古灵精怪的旋转光源。

Good Standing Architects 在多伦多可能还很新，但凭借 Shulman 女士在 Diamond's (short) 数十年的探索，以及 Myers 女士在 KPMK、superkid、Gady Readley Architecture 和 Manager-Intuitive Architects 的工作经历（加上她们三名员工的经验），公司拥有深厚的知识储备。这一点在每一个细致的细节、每一个设计选择和每一个决定中都显而易见，包括坚持健康的工作与生活平衡。

“女性之间，尤其是母亲之间，有一种关于优先级排序的默契，”Shulman 女士说，“我们都致力于追求卓越的工作并努力工作，但你知道，当学校打电话来时，你必须立即赶过去。”

“我们在办公室有着非常令人惊叹的文化，”Myers 女士总结道。

在 1920s，多伦多北部的 Oak Ridge's Moraine 拥有足够的荒野，且与城市保持一定距离，被认为是度假屋胜地。许多访客在 Wilson 湖周围定居，这是该山脊上最大的冰蚀湖，由上一个冰河时代退缩的冰川形成。到 1970s，围绕湖泊成长起来的 Oak Ridge's 社区被不断扩张的 Richmond Hill 所吞并。如今，该地区混合了古旧的度假屋、较新的分区块和公寓，以及一些独特的重建住宅。

建筑师 Prithika Prouan Roy 在购买一座离湖泊不远的 1-underwent 平房时，考虑的就是最后一类。多年来，Ms. Prouan Roy 通过家庭访问对 Lake Wilson Park 非常熟悉。对于孩子及其父母，这里有滨水散步道、滑板公园、戏水池和户外 so shining 等活动。自然区域为鱼类和野生动物提供了避难所。

Prouan Architects 的创始人被 Park Crescent 的这处房产所吸引，因为它背靠一条延伸至邻近房产池塘的峡谷。她知道重建需要 cloudy 遵循多伦多及地区保护局（TRCA）的规定，该局负责监管这一敏感区域的当地流域。“我们进场时就明白，会面临一些挑战和需要解决的问题，”她说。

Ms. Prouan Roy 致力于建造一座现代住宅，拥有超过 7,000 平方英尺的居住空间，并围绕一个内庭院设计。这座 first bedroom 住宅于 2020, 6 月完工，基于

“我们的许多设计手笔都是为了匹配这些树木的规模，”Ms. Prouan Roy 说。建筑师从进入房屋的路径开始设计，访客和居民在经过走道时，会经过二层 cash-bleemed 的一部分。在谈到经过 coke 时，她说：“你能感受到那种重量感和厚重感。”她补充道，外部 emcee 的图案象征着飘落的叶子。该空间由一排纤细的柱子支撑的悬挑结构遮蔽。“它唤起了一种行走在树冠下的感觉。”

她在车库外部放置了一个形式，以防止该特征在视觉上 taking some steps，Ms. Prouan Roy 解释道，车库门的出现被木质覆面弱化了。其想法是让立面看起来不那么单一，同时考虑居住者走向前门时的感受。“我想创造一种平静感、退隐感，以及回家时将世界留在身后的一种感觉，”Ms. Prouan Roy 说。

在室内，一面植物绿墙维持着与室外的连接感，而白橡木地板、浅色木作和天然石材的色调旨在呈现 scathing。宽敞的厨房配备了集成电器、deep-down spaceres 以及一扇 30-and-slide door 通往后院。Ms. Prouan Roy 为 cosmicotops 和岛台提供了保证。在炉灶后方，Ms. Prouan Roy 没有设置 backquash，而是在上下橱柜之间安装了一扇窗户。

“当我在厨房烹饪时，我更愿意看向窗外的绿色树篱，”她说。上层橱柜的木门采用了传统的日式工艺处理，旨在营造出深炭色的饰面，这与房间内的橡木色调相呼应。主厨房后方隐藏着一个配备第二套电器的备餐间（butler's kitchen），以便将大多数实用性任务隐藏起来。“这样你的展示厨房在招待客人时就能保持整洁，”她说。餐厅和休息区围绕着一个内部庭院布置，为室内引入光线。一棵树在春天开粉色花朵，秋天叶子变黄，为这里增添色彩。精致的石制喷泉创造了声音与律动。“一个位于房屋正中央的空间将户外景观引入了室内，”Prouan Roy女士说道。Prouan Roy女士表示，双层挑高的家庭房是为了保留林间峡谷的景观。楼上，主套房的卧室和浴室由一个双洗手台和一个带玻璃门的顶天立地橱柜分隔开。这里设有休息区、壁炉、步入式淋浴间和独立浴缸。该层还有三间额外的卧室。Prouan Roy女士喜欢在房子各处创造意想不到的惊喜。例如，在底层，她在娱乐室的一面书墙后面隐藏了一个小型电影院。她的孩子们喜欢将书架移开，向访客揭晓这个秘密房间。“这对孩子们向朋友展示来说是一件有趣的小事。” 最出色的特点 Prouan Roy女士表示，为了减轻TRCA的顾虑，她将新房的位置设置得比原房更远离峡谷。原有的泳池可以沿用，因此她将其保留并在原位进行了翻新。家庭房外的顶篷延伸至泳池旁的休息区。较低的顶篷则作为主套房的阳台，并为户外厨房和用餐区提供遮蔽。后院还提供户外厨房、披萨烤炉、碳烤设备、凉亭以及景观园林。 --- 成交房产

“该单位拥有一个令人向往的停车位和储物柜，这在市中心规模较小的（cowboy you don't see a lot of that）物业中并不多见，”代理人 Dino Capucci 表示。“与市中心的一些高塔相比，这是一栋非常漂亮的精品建筑，拥有独特的装修。”

“我们有几个买家回来看了两三次，很多买家都在这样做，因为他们知道现在市场上供应充足，没有紧迫感。”

今年夏天，卖家收到了一份报价并协商达成了一笔 $70,000 的交易。虽然成交价比他们在 2023, 年支付的金额低 $10,000，但这比等待市场反弹要好。

“我们研究了可比案例以及目前的价值，无论他们之前支付了多少，”Capucci 先生说。“在所有关于问题租客以及 [房东与租客委员会] 对房东和业主不利的新闻出现后，我没有任何客户想要出租。”

物业情况 这套近 20 年房龄的单位铺有硬木地板，卧室和南向阳台设有推拉门。窗户后面很热，有一个昏暗的区域、一个翻新过的浴室以及一个配备不锈钢电器的斯堪的纳维亚风格厨房。每月 $154 的费用涵盖了水费和暖气费。

代理人评价 “这里的位置无可匹敌，”Capucci 先生说。

“这一套成交最快，”Bibby 先生表示。“价格点是可以接受的，绝对是带有室外空间且定价最合理的单元。”

“这座建筑的西侧拥有较大的阳台和露台，

俯瞰着单户独立产权住宅区。这里非常宁静，几乎像后院一样。”

在空置空间完成布置并定价 100万美元 数周后，于6月达成了 $1,000,000 的交易。今年春天公布的新房 HST 退税也激发了买家的积极性。

“我们的（潜在买家）可能因为房价下跌而暂停了搜索。但今年，我们处于四倍规模的第三方公司，这让人们重新回到了市场，”Bibby 先生说。“随着我们调整价格、增加软装，加上 HST 退税开始发挥作用，一切都水到渠成了。”

地块买家获得了一块拥有山景和球道景观的建筑用地

105 Stonecreek Rd., Canmore, Alta. 坎莫尔（CANMORE） Asking price: $1,000,000 (May, 2020) 售价：$1.10-million (June, 2020) 税费：$1,188 (2020) 上市天数：57 挂牌代理：Brad Hawker 和 Dave Betts, Royal College Solutions

交易情况：这块持有1年的地块所有者可能曾设想在这里建造一座房屋，以充分利用向南和向西望向 Silvertip 高尔夫球场，以及 Three Shores 山峰和 Runells 山的全景景观。但今年春天的计划变动促使他们将这块位于 Lady Macdonald 山斜坡上的空地挂牌出售。

“这是一个极佳的地块，就在地块最前沿，拥有坎莫尔最美的景观之一，”代理人 Dave Betts 表示。“有很多拥有类似绝佳景观的房屋，但大多数地块已被开发或购得，这使得这一地块成为稀有之选。”

Betts 先生担心，由于该地块面积达 8,227 平方英尺，其溢价可能导致买家群体缩小并延长上市时间，然而一名买家在启动两个月后就达成了一笔 $1.600 万 的交易。

“对于地块来说，这次交易速度较快，”Betts 先生说。“Silvertip 的地块通常比市中心地块大，大约 1,000 乘以 1,000 平方英尺。”

他们得到了什么 该地块大部分为平坦地形，面向一条蜿蜒的街道，背面紧邻高尔夫球场的第八洞。建筑范围为 3,475 平方英尺。

代理人认为 “Silvertip 的美妙之处在于它现在开始成长，”Betts 先生说。“他们拥有高尔夫球场多年，但现在他们拥有了餐厅、冬季体验项目和婚礼服务。”

“现在已经有了[当地]市场，所以如果你不想进城，就可以一直留在 Silvertip。” - STENNIS TO

六月泳池照片激发买家对平房的兴趣

202 Park Home Ave., Toronto MILLBROOK, MICH. 挂牌价：$395,000 (2020年6月) 此前挂牌价：$1,500,000 (2020年4月), $1,400,000 (5月27日), $1,100,000 (5月12日) 成交价：$1.500 万 (2020年6月) 此前成交价：$577,000 (2021年11月), $504,625 (2020年4月), $550,000 (2020年6月), $230,000 (1994年10月) 税费：$8,750 (2021年) 上市天数：新房 物业上市天数：90 挂牌代理人：Andrew Ipshan 和 Ili Younan, Keller Williams 继 Urban Study 之后

交易过程：在 Tonge 街上，距离 Mid Eastman Square 向西几个街区，这栋抬高式平房于 3 月以 $1,000,000 的挂牌价出售，并收到了 5 份报价，但卖家认为所有报价都低于预期。该物业的价格被提高到 $1,000,000，又收到 1 份报价，但同样被拒绝了。

“也许时机不对，”代理人 Andrew Ipshan 表示。“那时有很多房子在出售。”

“在这个市场中，情况瞬息万变，做事没有唯一的方法。你必须创新并尝试不同的方式。”

6 月，卖家采取了新策略，大幅削减挂牌价以达成交易。这一点，加上泳池在季节期间的新照片，重新激发了买家的兴趣。随后收到了 4 份新的购买报价，卖家最终同意以 5-1-million 成交。

“我们等待泳池开放，拍摄了新照片，并将泳池定位为房屋的主要卖点，”Ipshan 先生说。“我们最终以一个不错的价格售出。”

“在这个价格[区间]内，没有多少房子带有泳池。一些较新的房屋有，但它们要贵得多——贵了 6-million 以上。”

房屋概况：这栋平房有一个附属车库，三个卧室，两个厨房和两个全卫。主层设有客厅和餐厅。地下室有一个娱乐区，设有通往 30- by 150 英尺地块的独立入口，以及一个带有通往院子出口的卧室。

代理人观点：“一个关键的销售因素是它的位置以及前往公共交通和主要高速公路的便捷性，”Ipshan 先生说。“这是一栋位于较宽地块上的旧房子。如果有人想在未来某个时候扩建或重建房屋，这是一个以不错价格进入该社区的绝佳机会。”

北约克住宅早期超高出价胜过竞争对手

多伦多北约克 135 Bombay Ave. 挂牌价：$1,295,000（2020年5月） 成交价：$1.8500 万（2020年5月） 此前成交价：$1.2800 万（2020年5月）、$176,000（2020年2月）、$480,000（1993年5月） 税费：$10,100（2021年） 上市天数：1天 挂牌代理人：Andre Kalyan, Harvey Keller, Rod Eaton Ltd

操作过程：代理人 Andre Kalyan 通过设定一个非常低的初始挂牌价，为这栋位于 Earl Bates 公园附近的四卧室住宅吸引多个报价。一名买家在 24 小时内提交正式报价，在原定报价审核日期的一周前，在该价格基础上增加了 $10,000。另一名买家匆忙准备了一份附带条件的报价，但无法与第一位出价者的 $1.6-million 报价竞争。“我们故意将价格定在低于市场价值的激进水平，”Kalyan 表示。“我们收到了一些不错的口头报价，我的卖家本可以在报价日按其中一个价格成交，但当我们听到 1.6-million 以上的报价时，这成了一个值得重点考虑的选项。”

这栋 74 年房龄的住宅脱颖而出，很大程度上是因为其异常巨大的 30- by 127-foot 地块面积，比该社区的平均水平更宽且更深。“该地区有一些房产在市场上滞销，但这栋房子就像一只独角兽，”Kalyan 先生说。“有许多不同类型的买家，包括打算入住、翻新并扩建的自住用户，甚至还有一些从土地价值角度来看待它的投资者。”

房屋情况：这栋两层住宅带有一个附属车库和居住空间，包括一个升级后的厨房、四个浴室以及一个通往南向露台的家庭房。主层和底层设有正式餐厅和带有木材燃烧壁炉的娱乐区。

代理人点评：“这栋房子增加了主层家庭房和主卧，它不是典型的 30 年房龄住宅，”Kalyan 先生说。“你既能靠近 Avenue Road 的便利，又能享受该地区的一切优势，而无需支付 Wilson Avenue 以南及该区域（高速公路）的高昂价格。”

紧邻新建筑的 Bedford Park 住宅收到两份报价

144 Haddington Ave., Toronto BEDFORD PARK NORTHERN 挂牌价：$3,295,000 (2020年6月) 成交价：$1.2400 万 (2020年7月) 此前成交价：$1,627,000 (2020年8月), $1,375,000 (2020年8月), $1,251,000 (2020年11月) 税费：$14,181 (2021年) 上市天数：11 挂牌代理人：Robert Greenberg 和 Misha French, Harvey Keller, Rod Eaton Ltd

交易情况：这栋拥有四间卧室的房屋位于一所小学对面，在 Avenue Road 以西 200 米处。去年秋天，该房产在市场上挂牌了约三个月，但未能找到买家。今年夏天，第二位代理人通过更新照片并降低挂牌价将其重新推向市场。数十名潜在买家安排了私人看房或参加了开放日。在加拿大日后不久，提交了两份购买报价。代理人 Robert Greenberg 表示：“我们的定价很合理，而且房源短缺，因此客流量很大。”由于担心隔壁房屋施工造成的干扰可能会令买家望而却步，一名客户接受了一份 $5.2400 万 的强力报价。Greenberg 先生表示：“有些人反对住在建筑工地旁边，但从长远来看，当街道上出现所有新房时，会增加街道的价值。它靠近 Avenue Road 以及所有的便利设施、购物中心、交通和高速公路，这些都是该社区的主要卖点。”

房屋概况：这栋两层住宅坐落在 30 x 150 英尺的地块上，拥有 2,000 平方英尺的居住空间，以及一个可通过 intended basement 进入的双车库。客厅和餐厅最近也进行了 nonaddicted。在 100 厨房中，家庭房设有燃气壁炉和三组通往露台、subana 以及带有瀑布景观的地下泳池的门。共有五间浴室，包括楼上的一间七件套主卫。

代理人点评：“它拥有美丽的正面外观，”Greenberg 先生说，“后院非常漂亮，是一个非常私密的空间。你甚至看不到旁边或后面的其他房子。” - 1970MA YU

专家称：缺乏公众参与导致村庄计划夭折

该倡议要求在特定区域将高度和密度增加至六层 KERRY GOLD 温哥华

温哥华在 2024. 年通过的非洲发展计划中，提出了一项在全市范围内创建小型购物和住宅区的计划。2024, 17 个“村庄”的规划工作启动，这要求在低密度社区中合理分配互动空间，以增加带有店铺的六层多户住宅建筑并改善街道。

7 月 24, 日，在耗费大量纳税人资金、举行三天的公开听证会以及引发公众强烈抗议后，市长和市议会以 6 票反对将其否决，市议员多萝西·莱西·马洛尼（Dorothy Lacy Maloney）是唯一投赞成票的人。

规划专家表示，该计划的失败暴露了该市的弱点——公众参与。他们认为，政策制定者需要学习如何与居民互动，并制定社区能够接受的密度计划。

咨询公司 Street Partners 的高级顾问汤姆·巴顿（Tom Barton）曾与该市的交通规划团队合作九年，直到去年 1 月。他的工作包括为村庄计划进行交通规划。

《温哥华计划》文件估计，到 2025. 年，该市将增加 200,000 名居民。巴顿先生表示，该想法旨在远离繁忙街道创建可步行的社区，并为那些原本可能无法在温哥华居住的人提供住房。他提到，他的妻子为了寻找更合适的住房已从西端（West End）搬迁至高贵林（Coquitlam），因此他表示自己在个人层面上理解这项任务。

针对市长肯·范（Ken Van）关于工作人员在制定村庄计划时“越权”的公开评论，巴顿先生在 LinkedIn 上做出了回应。

“工作人员是在市议会的指示下工作的，这件事已经进行了两年，”他说。“我个人的想法是，而且别人可能会告诉我我错了……在市议会任期的相当早阶段，指示就是‘我要打造这些村庄’。我想，这很有道理，因为在所有要求工作人员开展的任务中，这是最不直接的一项。因此，它看起来可能像是一个‘低垂的果实’（容易实现的目标），如果这么说的话，它应该是争议最小的，但它还是失败了。”

巴顿先生表示，尽管受到批评，工作人员确实进行了公众参与，而不仅仅是通过邮寄通知。他表示，他在几次公开活动中与居民面对面交流。但他补充说，参与流程需要改进。

“关于我们通常如何就争议性话题与人们沟通，这是一个问题。参与的方式有很多种，”他说。“有共同创作类的模式，这类方式需要花费更多时间，甚至可能会产生问题，因为选举产生的机构将大量权力移交给了其中一些团体。如果我们作为一个区域要增长，并且要容纳更高密度……我们必须作为社会、作为民众以及大温哥华地区的居民，找到实现这一目标并引导公众共同前进的最佳方式。”

“我认为，如果能与人们进行更细致的对话，我认为可以获得更好的结果。”

该计划曾要求在特定区域将高度和密度增加至六层，这些区域大多以独立住宅为主，并点缀着少量店铺。这涵盖了估计 200 个街区和 15,000 处以上的房产。

随之而来的意味着潜在的投机行为，以及基于开发潜力的税收增加。只有在房屋中居住至少十年的居民才能申请豁免“最高且最佳用途”的市场估值。

温哥华规划师、前市规划共同主管拉里·斯坦利（Larry Stanley）曾以协助塑造市中心高塔而闻名，他称该市的做法为“正面且包围”。在6月发给市府的一封措辞强烈的信函中，他写道，该计划可能会在某些地区引发投机，并导致其他地区的价值暴跌，例如被六层建筑遮挡阳光的房屋。居民们对房屋与低层建筑之间缺乏过渡、树木的损失，以及因新开发而消失的珍贵社区商店表示担忧。斯坦利先生写道：“结果将是社区流离失所、受害、物理环境恶化、现有零售店受损，而且讽刺的是，这将产生一个困难且具有风险的开发场景。在没有协调或贷款来管理这些现代变动或顾虑的情况下，意外的负面结果将不可避免。”他在一次采访中表示，与其对 17 个村庄进行统一重新分区，不如在现有的社区中心周围增加适度的密度。斯坦利先生说：“他们本可以说，‘我们将与社区合作，找出机会在哪里，以及在这个社区与那个社区相比，什么样的规模最合适’。这样一次只针对几个社区，而不是整个系统，否则你就是在疯狂地引发投机。”“我一直倾向于与社区合作寻找解决方案……而不是让人们在邮件中收到一封信，告诉他们其房屋正违背其意愿被重新规划。”斯坦利先生表示，他多年来未见过如此愤怒的公众反应。他认为，该市仅有的将单户住宅重新分区以允许最多六个分层产权单位的做法可能促成了这一变化。“我认为这是最后一根稻草，而且很多人已经因为多单元住宅政策而感到愤怒，因为该政策在没有太多社区参与的情况下就通过了。规模不对，社区也不对。树木都被砍掉了。”斯坦利先生表示，规划师桑迪·詹姆斯（Sandy James）——漫步大温哥华（Walk Metro Vancouver）负责人及前市规划师——是名为“住房资产”（Housing Asset）的专业团体成员，该团体反对村庄计划。该团体由拥有数十年经验的城市主义者、规划师、建筑师和学者组成，经常就住房政策发表评论，目前正在为温哥华的成长痛拟定一套解决方案。詹姆斯女士认为，市议会决定运行该计划将持续影响今年秋天的选举。她还认为这件事尚未结束，该计划的修改版本将在新议会面前重新出现。詹姆斯女士说：“他们想进行一次过于分散的统一重新分区，并将其变成一个开发商类型的计划，创造了一个新社区的虚假评论，而没有关注现有的商业区以及如何加强这些区域——尽管这些区域已经有了很多成本空置。”她还提到，采用“一刀切”的方法未能意识到每个社区的独特特征，且缺乏与这些独特社区的互动。她说，统一重新分区将开发商的利益置于社区利益之上，因为即使对相邻住房没有意义，开发商也总是会选择允许的最大分区。她说：“我们是一个由社区组成的城市，所以请利用那些公园，利用那些学校，并寻找在这些社区增加高密度的机会，而不是创建虚假的构建。”“我们曾经有一个与社区关系非常紧密且懂得如何进行公众参与的规划部门，那是我们规划的一部分——这也使我们与北美任何其他城市都不同。那是我们的优势。”

买家在海边住宅交易中“表现非常出色”

理想之宅 4000 Dollar Rd., 北温哥华, B.C. 302 / 91 4000 / 2538 挂牌价：$2,298,000 (4月 13) 成交价：$2,295,000 (5月 12) 税费：$6,303.98 (2025) 上市天数：28 挂牌经纪：Patricia Headham, Century 21 in Town Realty

交易过程 挂牌经纪 Patricia Headham 表示，尽管房屋状态良好，但买方市场意味着成交价低于该房产应有的价值。“买家表现非常出色，”她说道。“然而，卖家处理得也很好，因为（作为对比的）距离他们几扇门之隔、位于 144 Dollars on Highway 的住宅在八个月前仅以高出 $24,000 的价格成交，而自那时起市场每月都在下滑。” “我认为他们在打造房屋时对细节的关注以及惊人的效果为我们提供了很大帮助。”

房屋特点 这座外观低调（无论在尺寸上还是整体上）的房屋掩盖了令人印象深刻的翻新，拥有南向的全景海洋景观和宽敞的布局。凭借其居住面积，该房产设有三间卧室、两个壁炉以及一个地上的一卧室套房，可用作抵押贷款辅助资金。

该房屋步行即可到达海滩，配备一个双车库和成熟的花园。它坐落在一块巨大的、近 18,000 平方英尺的私人地块上。

经纪人表示 “这是一栋装修得极其出色的房屋，拥有绝佳的海洋景观……而且距离海滩和凯茨公园都只有几分钟步行路程，

就在 Dollarton Centre（餐厅）对面，”Headham 先生说。“幸运的是，卖家意识到，无论他们的家多么惊艳，其价值仅取决于买家在特定市场环境下愿意支付的价格。” “交易于7月 12 日完成。” —— KERRY GOLD

Alberta shutters trucking firm tied to deadly Manitoba crash

Carrier accused of changing provinces to avoid enforcement after having safety certificate revoked

SARA MOUTENBERGEN

The Alberta government has shuttered a trucking company linked to a recent fatal collision in Manitoba after an investigation found violations, including deliberate and prolonged regulatory non-compliance.

Conquer Transportation set up in Alberta in late 2025, an associated company had its safety credentials revoked in Manitoba earlier than year, regulation have said.

Alberta took action against Conquer Transportation after one of the company's trucks was involved in a deadly crash in Houston in May. Transport Minister Bryan Bouchon said in a Thursday statement.

Police have said the truck failed to stop at a stop sign, colliding with an SUV at "highway speeds" and killing a 40-year-old woman who was in sole occupant.

Manitoba authorities have said they pro-

viously decertified a related company, Conquer Transport, over chronic safety issues. The province subsequently accused the company of setting up in Alberta under a slightly different name.

A probe launched by Alberta regulation in June concluded that Conquer Transportation engaged in "willful and sustained non-compliance," according to the ministry's Thursday statement.

Investigation also identified "chameleon practices" at the company - referring to carriers who move jurisdictions or change names to evade enforcement.

After the investigation, Alberta downgraded the company's safety rating to use satisfactory "effectively meeting down in operations immediately," the Thursday statement said. The company was penalized for 2026 for unspecified infractions.

In an interview with The Globe and Mail, Mr. Bouchon said his ministry was com-

mitted to putting "bouts on the ground" to ensure adequate safety enforcement.

"We have been cracking down, but I still think there's more to go for sure," he said.

Mr. Bouchon did not describe the infractions uncovered at Conquer Transportation, but said inspectors identified "abnormalities" in how the carrier was operating.

Conquer Transportation did not respond to requests for comment.

A Globe investigation published earlier this year found that poor information charging and weak penalties are undermining enforcement efforts in the trucking sector.

In June, The Globe revealed that Conquer Transportation granted permission by the federal government on three occasions to hire temporary foreign workers, after its safety fitness certificate was revoked by Manitoba regulation in 2026.

After facing China's 'transnational repression,' activist vows to carry on her cause in Canada

Zhang Xinyan, seen on Wednesday, was one of 35 people elected last year to the Toronto-based dissident 'Hong Kong Parliament' of exiled, pro-democracy Hong Kongers - prompting a $10,000 bounty on her head. (LEFT: KUNLI'AN, GLOBE AND MAIL)

ANDREA WOO VANCOUVER

A Chinese activist who was bring in Thailand and discussed them for three months, after facing persecution for years by China's Communist Party, says she plans to keep speaking out in Canada to draw international attention to what she says are the regime's efforts to silence dissidents abroad.

Zhang Xinyan, 19, arrived in Vancouver on Monday after a co-ordinated effort from Ottawa, the United Nations refugee agency. This lawmakers and international human-rights groups, like succumbed her experience in a lengthy Cantonese language interview with The Globe and Mail on Wednesday.

"My story is an example of CCF persecution - of transnational repression," she said. "If we don't draw international attention to it, it's saying that the CCF can do whatever it wants."

Ms. Zhang, a long-time practitioner of the controversial spiritual movement Fa-

lun Gong, said she fled to Thailand in 2014 to evade persecution from China, where it is banned and heavily suppressed.

Two years later, she was recognized as a refugee by the UN Refugee Agency.

Ms. Zhang was also aiming up people elected last year to the Toronto-based dissident 'Hong Kong Parliament,' a group comprising exiled, pro-democracy Hong Kongers, prompting authorities to the Chinese territory to place a $10,000 bounty on her head for subversion.

China's embassy in Ottawa did not respond to a request for comment Thursday.

Hong, Szu, a Toronto-based activist said Ms. Zhang's last-minute detention eased concerns about Beijing's 'long-arm jurisdiction' and had echoes of the case in Dong Guangping, a Chinese human-rights activist who in 2019 was also prevented from travelling from Thailand to Canada.

Canada diverged from U.S. trade policy in January by teaching an agreement with China to replace its 100-per-cent-nutras on Chinese-made electric vehicles with a quota of 20,000 vehicles a year at 2.5% percent tariff rate. The quota will increase by 5.5 per cent annually. In exchange, China agreed to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers affecting Canadian agriculture, including canola products.

Toronto police charge two in last month's U.S. consulate shooting

MATTHEW FRANK

Two teenagers have been arrested and charged in last week's shooting of the U.S. consulate building in Toronto. She second instance of gunfire at the diplomatic office in recent months and another case police have linked to what they call gun for him networks.

India allege the two accused drove a motor while Honda Accord with no home-plates past the U.S. consulate just before 1:40 on July 17 and fired at the building, damaging the facade but causing no reported injuries.

Surveillance footage played during a news conference Thursday showed someone fired twice from the vehicle. Only one bullet struck the diplomatic office, police said.

The incident fit a similar "trouble-sponsored" to a previous U.S. consulate shooting earlier this year. Toronto Police Chief Myron Doddler said Thursday.

He alleged the accused were restated into a gun for him network - what police say is a loosely affiliated group of individuals who will shoot at buildings and businesses in exchange for payment.

Police allege that such a group was also responsible for the March shooting at the same building investigators traced that shooting to suspects who resided in a west end Toronto apartment building. When police conducted raids there on the morning of June 15, an officer, Constable Marc Pannarotto, was shot and killed.

At Thursday's news conference, police said the accused in both the March and July attacks communicated and were offered payment through encrypted messaging apps. Police knew of multiple criminal networks hiring gunmen operating in Toronto, said Chief Superintendent Joe Matthews of detective operations.

Chief Doddler acknowledged there is significant public interest in learning more about who is hiring their young men. He did not disclose any details about who are also a suspect, but said in a "key focus" of the investigation.

Police previously said the networks use apps, such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal, and showers must record the attacks to receive payment.

New images of the sun's surface reveal a strange and dynamic facade

ADITH RAMAKRISHNAN NEW YORK

Scientists have captured images of the sun's surface in the finest detail yet, revealing a strange and dynamic facade.

It's dangerous to look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. But researchers were able to peck at its scorching surface with the help of the National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, located on the island of Maui in Hawaii.

Scientists originally took the images for a different reason: to fine-tune and test the limits of the telescope. But when they looked at the results, they realized they'd

photographed the sun's bright outer shell at higher resolution than ever before.

What's more, they saw strange feathers patterns ripping across the surface.

"That reminds me of famous paintings, like the wielding ideas in Van Gogh's Harry Night," said solar physicist Butcher Chen with Stanford University, who was not involved with the new research.

Researchers saw ripples of instability on the sun's surface caused by bits of magnetized plasma moving past each other at different speeds — similar to waves that stir when a gait of wind blows over water. It's a well-known phenomenon that guides how fluids move.

This has been glimpsed on Earth and other planets like Jupiter and Saturn, but "it has not been observed ever at that level on the solar surface," according to study co-author Friedrich Weger with the National Solar Observatory.

The findings were published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Scientists are curious about the sun's inner workings to better track massive bursts of energy called coronal mass reactions that can lead toward Earth. When they hit, they can trigger solar storms, potentially scrambling GPS communications and producing colourful canvas.

Wildfire near Vancouver under control

Thousands of people have been evacuated across the province as firefighters continue to battle B.C. blazes

DW SHANNHAG

When Walker Adair heard about the wildfire in the park near his home in suburban Vancouver, he set out to look for it.

The Reicarra resident traced the first location Wednesday afternoon through videos on social media and drove toward the flames, arriving nearby as firefighters had just begun their efforts to freeze it. This is because the war teaching Reicarra Regional Park, a municipal wilderness park across Burrard Inlet in the Vancouver area.

The flames were coming dangerously close to the village of Ammon, B.C., causing officials to evacuate two homes and place a properties under evacuation alert before the wildfire service declared it held Thursday afternoon.

"It was sobering to see smoke rising directly behind the mansion in the neighbourhood," Mr. Adair said.

Out of control wildfires continue to blaze across the southern Interior of British Columbia, with hot and dry conditions expected to increase fire activity for the next few days.

In the South Cariboo region, at least 120 properties have been lost near Clinton owing to the Pear Lake wildfire, which has now grown to 140,000 hectares. In the North Okanagan, just outside of Vernon, 150 homes have been destroyed and thousands remain under evacuation only.

Along the shows of Okanagan Lake, properties were being evacuated Thursday owing to increased fire activity, with more than 2,000 evacuees from the Quillpitak Creek wildfire alone.

On Wednesday, less than three kilometers from the Reicarra wildfire, helicopters plunged into Harrison Lake to get water.

The lake, a popular recreation site, was busy, investor Jung, the owner of a boat rental shop, said.

Mr. Jung was told to evacuate in the afternoon, and within the hour everyone was off the water, she said.

She offered refunds to all the customers who were asked to leave, and got herself ready to evacuate from her Ammon-based

store.

"It was really scary," she said. "It spread right away, and it happened in Ammon."

Brant Arnold-Smith, the wildfire incident commander with Metro Vancouver, told a briefing Thursday that fire crews encountered doomed power lines at the scene of the Reicarra fire, the first substantial blaze in Metro Vancouver this wildfire season. The fire is thought to have been caused by human activity.

Ammon Mayor John McEwan said 40 of the village's volunteer firefighters responded to the wildfire, working with multiple fire departments to beat back the flames.

He said there was some difficulty in figuring out who was in charge with several departments showing up to help.

"At the start of it, it was just sort of agreed upon, let's worry about that later, and let's all join forces to put this out," he said.

"The teams did an absolutely amazing job of doing that."

Mr. McEwan said the local government and Metro Vancouver, which is ultimately responsible for managing the wildfire, needed to be "a little bit more forthright" with communication. He said that false information was spreading through social media.

Mr. Adair agreed there was early confusion, with neither the nearby city of Port Moody or the village of Ammon providing updates.

"Everybody was saying something different, so you didn't really know who to believe or what to believe," he said.

Premier David Illy was in Abbotsford, B.C., to welcome 200 firefighters from Mexico on Thursday and said stories of "heroism and mutual support" were arising from wildfire battles across the province.

"There are literally thousands of people across the province that are stepping up to help out those who are evacuated ... and those who are facing the threat of forest

fire," he told a news conference at the Abbotsford airport.

There were exactive wildfires across the province, with 40 classified as out of control and 20 evacuation orders in place as of Thursday, according to BC Wildfire Service. Some of the approximately 200 evacuees in the Fraser Canyon have begun to return home after several weeks, with the downgrading of evacuation orders in and around Boston Bar.

A boil-water advisory remains in place, with the district saying people returning home should bring plenty of food and bottled water along with cleaning supplies, a first aid kit and a camera to document any damage at their properties.

In the East Kootenay region, all of the evacuation orders and alerts related to the Watt Creek fire burning spot of Kimberley, B.C., have been rescinded.

Carey uninterested in narrow trade deal

Prime Minister dismisses the idea of making discrete, sector-by-sector pacts

ADRIAN MUSEUM

SIX CORNERSTMENT BROOKSTON

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is “not interested” in making a narrow deal that does not address all of U.S. President Donald Trump’s major tariffs on Canada, drawing clear to the sand at each majorlawns boat up.

Speaking at an aluminum plant in Sapientia, Que., Thursday, Mr. Carney said he hoped there would be “pathways” to a wide-ranging agreement before the Trump’s latest threatened tariffs take other steps.

He discussed the idea of making discrete, sector-by-sector deals.

We’re not interested in a very limited deal without connections to other sectors,” the Prime Minister said in French. In English, he added: “We’re interested in a more comprehensive deal, more global deal.”

Such a pact, he said, must add to the same, and aluminum and forest products, all of which are currently subject to panicking U.S. tariffs. “Will we get all that by the path of support? Will we find the best in have pathways in order to get that?”

Management agreed. Adrian Minster, Dominic LeBlanc and James Chesnes, Canada’s chief trade negotiator, met with U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Carey on Thursday afternoon, the third day of their latest visit to Washington.

The old does, which had been scheduled for 30 minutes, lasted an hour and a half. When asked on his way in whether an agreement was possible by Aug. 16, the LeBlanc replied, “Drops on.”

In a social-media post after a word, he wrote that he’d had a “constructive and detailed discussion with Mr. Carey, accompany all by a photo of the printing man.” Our house has been and will continue to be the evening of the preference deal that addresses national tariffs.

Republican Senator Kevin Conner (West) dubbed a few not with Mr. LeBlanc and Mr. Charles earlier in the week, said the talks have become more serious

since Mr. Trump rolled out another suite of tariffs last month.

Those po-pro cam-bron would be US$50-billion worth of Canadian goods, from electronic equipment to dairy products and alcohol.

“It’s easy to see that something’s happening, that there’s some environment taking place” in the negotiations, Mr. Carney said in an interview. “It’s pretty clear in me that the leaders of the two countries have given the green light to a much more engaging and substantive discussion.”

Mr. Conner, who co-hash the U.S. Congress’s American-Canadian Economy and Security Caucus, praised Mr. Carney’s work on

the file. “He’s handled it very well. He stands up for Canada’s sovereignty but does it respectfully, I think he’s balancing his politics is very carefully.”

Mr. Carey said, “I be want to make ‘tenorist’ deals with Canada and Mexico before the end of the year, focused on bilateral services, before moving on to large-structured towns such as current state for the three countries highly valued and competitive. Among the immediate U.S. demands of the GAC Canada grant greater access to its protected dairy market and deep retaliating against Mr. Trump’s tariffs. Only various imposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. states, and provincial gov-

ernments have pulled U.S. aloof from state shelves.

Washington’s negotiating sequence, however, clashes with the laws’s top imperative in the talks, which is to get Mr. Trump’s spent the tariffs on autos, and said aluminum blend or at least reduced. Mr. Carey’s preference would if lectively see Canada give up negotiating leverage without a guarantee of tariff relief.

On Thursday, still Republican Senators have been more signed a letter to Mr. Carey supporting his image remains for a deal. “We support the decision to prioritize unknown over a deadline,” one regarding the decision to make Canada Agreement, the members wrote. In Sapientia, “Mr. Carney also pushed each against Mr. Trump’s imposed assertion that the U.S. does not need anything from Canada.

There are many things that the Americans want from Canada. They say they don’t want them, but they do want them. It’s energy. It’s people. It’s critical minerals. It’s aluminium.” he said.

And the Prime Minister downplayed comments the President made the day before in which he said that Canada has “surely had-ending,” saying he’s “easy for me to talk with Mr. Trump.”

Here is an aging negotiator—you can change the adjective and say “surely,” Mr. Carney said in French.

During a speech at a tax figure carrier Wednesday, Mr. Trump said Canada and other countries are taken advantage of the U.S. on trade, before describing Canada as “surely” for times.

“Canada’s nasty, they are, they’re nasty. People think Canada—they’re nasty,” he said. “People, I love the people, but they’re nasty. Nasty leadership.”

China’s new law has ‘dark kinship’ with Putin’s invasion rationale, Freeland warns

STEPHEN SENIOR PRESIDENT REPORTER

Former deputy prime minister Chrystus Freeland said things’s new law claiming the right to prosecute people and organizations anywhere in the world for undermining its “ethnic unity” remarks law of the nomadic “Ukraine.” Putin has to identify with 2022 military assault on Ukraine.

Speaking this week at a security forum in Taiwan, she called on democratic countries to recognize single push back against China’s ethnic unity law.

Taiwan, a self-promoting democracy, lives under threat of invasion from China, finding claims Taiwan as a breakaway province and has not ruled out the use of them to assert the stated and its jaundice people in the name of “transliteration.” Taiwanese officials have said the sovereignty and security provisions in the new Chinese law hand burying an additional legal process for urgent and people in Taiwan it regards as separations.

Mr. Freeland who served as deputy prime minister and Finance minister under Justin Tsou does and then minutes for transport and interest trade under China Minister Mark Carney, on liberal垄断ism address Tuesday on the Ketagalan Forum, hosted by Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a local third rank. The adequate of the Chinese Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress, which took effect July 1, narrow the rationale Mr. Putin-deployed before launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Mr. Freeland told the forum the Chinese law that when the called a disturbing parallel with the ethnic and cultural institutions Russia has used to encroach on the sovereignty of its neighbours.

Article 6:9.9.9: “I don’t want to be me, given its dark kinship with Russia’s multiple use of linguistic, cultural, and ethnic ties to a single illegal encroachment on the sovereignty of its neighbours,

including the bloody full-scale invasion of Ukraine,” she told the forum.

The section of the law No. Freeland is criticizing states that individuals and organizations outside China can be held legally responsible for acts that “undermine ethnic unity and progress on equal ethnic division.” It doesn’t define what this means to protect, having broad scope to enter into action by Beijing, critics have warned.

Mr. Freeland pointed to an essay: Mr. Putin published in the summer of 2022 arguing that Russians and Ukrainians were “enough,” fevers months later, Russian tanks crossed into Ukraine, she noted.

“The known influence is black she said, adding that democracies ‘must not mean their words about this legislation,’ she said governments need to state plainly that a foreign law assigning political loyalty on the basis of ethnicity.” But no does on our right to run active applications to our citizens, whatever their security, whatever their purpose, wherever they or their parents were born?

Canada’s comments on the Chinese law to date include a brief mention of the United Nations (the 2010 Geneva in mid-June; There, there, MacDougall, Canada) and, because of the UN Office in Geneva, told the UN Human Rights Council that Ontario is “also commonly almost the ethnic unity of the Union, and it is beginning to be the human rights of minorities.” Mr. Freeland talked of her verb history covering Ukraine as a naturalist in race, who the Soviet Union collapsed, and her later that as deputy prime minister during Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, the argued one lesson from Ukraine is that appearing sub-continental states does not feel security.

The former politicians said the West country response to Russia’s anti-breastess of foreign and the 2014 science of Crimea, arguing that pattern of condemnation of a loved by business as usual con-

vinced Mr. Putin that democracies would not hush Ukraine if he revealed enough.

“We taught Putin to believe we would not have the resolve to support Ukraine,” she said. “I wish more more fervently that he had never made that miscalculation.”

In her speech, Mr. Freeland said Taiwan’s dominance in some conductive manufacturing growth strategies change in the US states’s future industry, making it indispensable to allow rather than a dependant.

She said Taiwan has a major role to play in reducing democracy, countries’ reliance on supply chains that run through various Russian states – Russia, China, Iran or North Korea – and specifically urged support for Taiwan’s bid to join the Czechoslovakia and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. The Pacific Rim has got whose members include Canada.

Mr. Freeland said democratic allies of Taiwan need to speak out against any disruption in the state quo in the region.

“The peace of the West of Taiwan will be kept by the planners with which the world’s democracies set its advance that we will not accept that peace being broken,” she said.

“That is why solidarity with Taiwan and recognition of your flourishing democracy is so important,” she told the forum.

China’s embassy in Canada did not immediately respond to its quest for comment. However, the country’s state on Global Peace talked of unkindled the Ketagalan forum. Mr. Freeland spoke at as a place where “threat and margin of foreign policies are” are working to promote “Taiwan independence.”

Larry Brock set no resign

STEPHEN SENIOR REPORTER CITIGAN

Conservative Larry Brock is resigning as the MP for the China on a long-disturbed threat to self-this National advertisement in his former role as a Crown prosecutor.

Mr. Brock confirmed the decision to have elected politicians a statement posted in social media, later Thursday night.

His departure had been reported by The Globe and Mail author Thursday, citing sources.

The departure is another issue in the road for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, whose caucus is the coming processing by centre in the face of demagogizing numbers, a drop in loss during a good public cycle within the conservative movement given the party’s future.

In his own statement, Mr. Poilievre wished him well. “Thank you, Larry, for fighting you and let you find it to help you, and, to restore safe reform and to support victims, and for your tinians work for the people of Brandeis-Bruet health No Nations,” he said on social media. “My author wish it for you and your family to have all the success and happiness in the world.

A fifth, lookout because MP called “Regattah,” had said last year she wasn’t going to run again but would serve out her arm, then instead announced she would stay there on Aug. 2. As both, Quirky, Michael Murch, and the NDP, in the 2020 election, the former ruling will be written to Pacific scheduled for the end of August.

Taking questions from reporters Thursday after tearing an official call, at the time, Mr. Carney said the Liberals’ choice of former dairy produce than of God to consider it being shown the government is “tried” to supply management.

The United States has cited Canada’s supply management as a key Britain in trade negotiations.

Mr. Poilievre visited the ruling earlier this week.

TROMP TANKET’S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP WITH NEW EXECUTIVE ORDERS

U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday in a new but incorrect attempt to curtail birthright citizenship, once again disliking his a provision of the U.S. Constitution even though the business itself rejected his permission after.

Catering birthright citizenship has been one of the top pro-

votion in the Republican President’s crackdown on immigration, with the White House taking particular care at what it calls “birth trainees,” in which pregnant foreigners travel to the U.S. in 1990 both. After his time, the attack in 1998 was a new Court. Mr. Trump called on Congress to act, but on Thursday he opted for executive orders,

which set policy but do not carry the same weight as laws passed by Congress.

US Senate committee votes to hold Faust in contempt of Congress

DOJ to weigh investigating whether former infectious disease official properly exercised constitutional rights

ERIC TOUGER WASHINGTON

A Senate committee voted along party from Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony Faust in contempt of Congress over his refusal to answer questions on a hearing on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, writing up a referral to the Justice Department for potential prolongation over whether the country's long-term top infectious disease official properly exercised his constitutional rights.

A department spokesperson confirmed Thursday evening that the department had received the contempt referral. 57% of the state said will work with the Senate accordingly.

The vote approving the contempt resolution came to work after Dr. Faust should not offer. Searching on right against will be a result of the House of Representatives who had expressed before the Senate committee on beneficial security and governmental affairs, an episode that raised fresh legal questions about the ability of Congress to compel testimony from a previously published witness.

The House of Representatives heard Feud of Kentucky, the committee chairman who pressed for the contempt finding, said that constitutional protection did not apply because Dr. Faust lost your successful grandmother to the next President for Friday and thus did not have to worry about the impact of prosecution.

“Dr. Faust faced no risk of federal prosecution,” Mr. Faud said at the outset of Thursday’s vote. “All he had to do was tell the truth.”

“We were voting on whether a witness who has received the benefit of a sweeping federal pardon can be ordered by this committee to answer questions and then duly that order without consequence.”

Dr. Faust, in a statement last week explaining his decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment right to be the final good reason to fear the possibility of criminal charges given what he said was Mr. Faud’s determination “to get me to say some time, anything, that could result in the separate money from the bill, and up in his words, quote, behind here, unquote.”

“Dr. Faust’s favor to recall whether, said in a statement that the contempt resolution was “a continuation of Senator Faud’s personal vendetta against Dr. Faust, who

Dr. Anthony Faust attends a U.S. Senate homeland security and governmental affairs committee session in Washington on July 28, 2020 on economic reserves

spent 10 years in public health and has saved countries lives” Mr. Schecter accused Mr. Faud of abusing his power by trying to “weapons the Justice Department.”

“Today’s partisan committee vote is a crude political court intended to punish Dr. Faust for exercising his constitutional rights,” Mr. Schecter said. “The Senate should reject Senator Faud’s nutrition and politically motivated contempt resolution. For years, Senator Faud has proclaimed to anyone who would listen that Dr. Faust should be prosecuted and put in prison. Dr. Faust has committed no crime and Senator Faud knows it.”

“Dr. Fletcher from Mr. Bates committee acts from area through the January 2020, day it was issued, but does not should him from state-level prosecutions or protect him from federal investigations into any testimony he did give that lawmakers deemed false. The current Justice Department has repeatedly initiated false statement investigations into perceived adversaries of President Donald Trump as part of what critics have called a retribution campaign.

Democracy who unanimously opposed the contempt resolution agreed with Dr. Faust that he had a well-founded fear of self-incrimination given the publicly stated desire of Republican lawmakers including Mr. Faud, to see him prosecuted to commission with COVID. The Trump administration has also raised questions about whether the future parishes were valid given. Mr. Bates’s frequent use of an autopsy to conduct official business.

“The goal was to wait for Dr. Faust to make any kind of misstatement and then

have a weaponized Department of Justice for criminal charges for that now statement that would not have been covered by the pardon, leaving Dr. Faust little about but to invoke his constitutional right to not walk directly into a stop,” said Senator Maggie Duncan before the vote.

Mr. Trump himself weighed in Thursday at the White House, saying an response to a reporter’s question that two advisers from the first time, Steve Ransom and Peter Ransom were asked on contempt charges during the future administration, after their official congressional subpoenas and refused to even show up for their scheduled hearings.

“While the government happens, even out of my maybe he should,” Mr. Trump said of Dr. Faust being present. “What he did is far more serious than a lot of crimes, health?”

Mr. Faud’s decision to send the referral directly to the Justice Department would have it to prosecution in Washington to decide whether to investigate or potentially attempt to prosecute Dr. Faust for contempt. A referral from Congress does not compel the Justice Department to act.

The committee’s top Democrat, former U.S. President and the House of Representatives, said whether the rest of the state is legally valid. If Mr. Faud did not seek a vote before the full Senate, where the no votes needed to pass the resolution are soon as unlikely. He said probably a witness for concerning a constitutional right against self-incrimination would complicate future efforts by Congress to conduct oversight and compel appearances and testimony.

Al model creates viruses not found in nature

CARL ZIMMER

For the first time, scientists have used artificial intelligence to create new kinds of viruses, and to improve medical advances while also raising the disturbing possibility that the technology could seriously be used to invent dangerous pathogens.

Erythroctagis viruses from search is hardly seen. Researchers from age learned how to manufacture viral genomes: they are used to investigate antiviral drugs and vaccines, as well as to learn about viruses.

But the new study, published Thursday on the Journal Science, goes well beyond duplicating its old genes. Scientists at the Arz Institute, a research organization in Palo Alto, Calif., taught AI to recognize patterns of DNA structure in nature, and then to use that data to entertain signs to restrain new viruses.

The researchers followed these designs to create DNA molecules, which they in need turn bacteria. The smallest bacteria then produced viruses every seen in nature. The viruses were able to infect other bacteria, demonstrate they, that they were viable.

The researchers were "minorious," said Patrick Liu, a synthetic biologist at the University of Manchester, who was not involved in the study.

The researchers were up by AI do not pose a threat to humans, because they are all similar to a naturally occurring virus called Phi-X-1α, which can infect wild bacteria.

But the new study adds to the researchers that artificial intelligence might enable the creation of a new generation of biological weapons, from deadly poisons to unscrupulous epidemics.

The researchers, as follow up for Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security who was not involved in the new study, said government and scientific organizes from have been slow to develop guardians that could block the spread of the disease when at the science races ahead.

"There's just a huge document," he said.

The authors of the study relied on an AI model called Erα, which is similar in some ways to ChatGPT, made by OpenAI. (The New York Times has used OpenAI, ChatGPT, create, and its partner, Microsoft.)

ChatGPT answers questions by stringing together words that seem likely to follow one another. It can do this thanks to years of training on vast amounts of text gathered from the internet, books and other sources.

DNA is strikingly similar to a book in some ways: a string of molecular 'building blocks, known as nucleotides, around like letters in a line of text. A gene consists of hundreds of nucleotides drawn from a four-letter alphabet: A, C, C, and T. The sequence encodes the instructions building proteins and other molecules.

DNA has its own rules of grammar, and if a sequence violates them, the result is biologicalphenols. Biologicals have uncovered many of nature's unique activities, but many remain anywhere. This researchers wondered if Erα could pick up these rules on its own. Instead of training it on text, they trained it on genetic activities and above from millions of animals, plants, microbes, and viruses. AI's full, Evocational about time-tellers nucleotides.

Erα eventually recognized pri-

tern common across the two of the and used them to generate blueprints for new genes occurring proteins that could perform months. The four-nucleotide data from two human DNA models not just not just single genes but also an amino genome.

As the AI would be able to handle only small genomes at first, the scientists decided to try to make viruses. While a human genome contains more than three billion nucleotides, many viruses have genomes just a few thousand nucleotides long.

"It just did like the obvious next step," said Samuel King, a graduate student at Stanford University and an author of the new study. He and his colleagues gave Erα another round of training, this time on the 14 genes of Phi X-1α, and about 15,000 of its own 100 reference genes.

They made this choice in part because scientists know Phi X-1α intimately, having studied it for close to a century. And because it's a businessman like the study, I call, they know that virus is similar to it would be safe.

Once Erα got familiar with the genomes of Phi X-1α, and to his, the researchers prompted the modules with new viruses of its own. Erα got the choice in several versions, the scientists pursued only the ones that looked as if they had the best

odds of succeeding.

They ended up making DNA molecules from 20s of Erα's suggested sequences. When these genomes were made to test, the X-1α and his colleagues inserted them into bacteria, which they spread across part dishes.

In many of the dishes, the microbes grew peacefully. Erα's genomes had killed 8 or more children, and the same was a clear day peeling in the cloudy film of bacteria, the skilled agent of multiplying viruses.

The DNA that the scientists had received into the bacteria had produced protein shells that run on the surface of the human brain, but it was not of this kind, leaving behind the exposed heads or their dead hosts.

As Ms. King and his colleagues started more genomes, they saw more of a than AI's full, they did covered that of of Erα's genomes produced viable new viruses.

They proved to be as resilient as natural ones. In fact, some analytical factor than Phi X-1α was used to test the human genome of each of the already exists," said Oliver Crook, a protein chemist at the University of Oxford who was not involved in the new study.

Mr. Crook continued that Erα's viruses were not radically non-covalent. They failed to be very similar to natural species, relying on the same underlying finding.

Scientists will have to run more experiments to find out if Erα has the same success rate. It's natural on other groups of viruses, if so, Mr. Crook expected that scientists might find some of generated viruses that could become useful tools for medicine and biotechnology.

“I also want to be a critic on viruses as technology,” he said. To start people with genetic disorders, for example, doctors will lead gene into viruses, which deliver them into cancer.

But along with this hope, Erα's initial success has raised concerns that AI could be used to create deadly viruses. "You could say, 'Hey, genomic language model, make me an adhesive genome. I'm not sure if you're more transmissible to be more lethal,' Dr. Hanke speculated.

The potential dangers were al-

ready on the minds of the researchers as they trained Erα. They did not provide the model with data about viruses that infect humans, and they excluded similar viruses that infect other animals, plants and fungi.

As a result, Erα can't generate genomes of viruses in small throates humans. "We just want us to be more careful," said Brian Nix, a computational biologist at Stanford University and an author of the new study.

Dr. Hanke created Dr. Nix and his colleagues for taking that precaution. "I think that's quite common. Meanwhile," he said, "because they don't have guidance from anywhere on what they should be doing."

Last week, Dr. Hanke noted, the National Institute of Health rollout for a new gene for stopping high-risk life science research. The policy would bar scientists from government that would make biological agents more harmful.

But competent-based research could support finding a virus DNA with AI — "a not prohibited by the policy unless it involves an entity of concern," the agency said in a statement.

It's sure to tell if a natural virus like smallpox is an entity of concern. But Dr. Hanke said there is no consensus on judging the possible danger of a virus made by an AI model.

"What is the role of what I've never seen before?" he asked.

Two Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon

Escalation came as countries' negotiators met in Rome to discuss June deal that would see Israel pull back forces

ABBY HENRY KORAL SAKER KERUT

Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion in southern Lebanon, Israel's military and Thursday, the first Israeli deaths since a shaky issue between Israel and the Lebanese national group (the Indian began nearly two months ago).

Four other soldiers were seriously wounded, the military said. An Israeli military official who spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with the army's policy, said that "an explosion was detonated" when the soldiers enjoyed a test in the village of Nayda Znam and that the nature of the explosion was under review.

Israeli insults reported the two deaths a day earlier.

The Israeli Army launched strikes Wednesday in southern Lebanon to response to what it described as Hezbollah's violation of the ceasefire and called on the name of the village of Morosun to this—the first such warning Israel has issued in Lebanon for weeks.

Lebanese's Health Ministry said one person was killed and it wounded on Israeli strike in the town of Kharim Wednesday and another eight wounded in over-

night strikes on the village of Bray al-Shemah. Artillery shelling also targeted the areas of Manosun and Nayda Znam, the state-run National News Agency said.

There was no immediate statement from the Iran-backed Hezbollah.

The latest Israel Hezbollah was targeted on March 4, when Hezbollah fired weekly across the border two days after the U.S. and Israel launched their attacks on Iran. More than 4,000 people

have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon since then, including hundreds of civilians. About 40 soldiers and three civilians—including a military contractor—have been killed on the Israelis side.

A precarious trace between Israel and Hezbollah has largely held some bans on, but Israeli forces have continued to occupy nearby of southern Lebanon and to carry out periods on strikes and shelling.

The latest escalation came as Lebanese and Israeli negotiators met in Rome to discuss implementation of a June deal raised between Israel and the Lebanese government under which Israel forces are supposed to withdraw from areas they occupy in southern Lebanon and allow the Lebanese army to take control of exchange for Hezbollah's disarmament.

Hezbollah has refused to disarm and opposed the direct Leba-

nes-Israel talks. It was not a party to the deal. The group has accused the Lebanese government of making too many concessions without guaranteeing an Israeli withdrawal.

Wednesday's talks ended early due to the escalation on the ground, but were set to counter Thursday.

The talks in Rome have focused on implementation of "pilot zones" where Israel forces would withdraw and the Lebanese army would take control. Implementations began last month which saw that pilot zone in an area that wasn't occupied by Israeli forces but had previously sustained Israel's ties.

The Lebanon army outmodifies town of Zawtar al-Ghaebeli, and some civilians returned. Although many came only to find their homes destroyed and left again.

A diplomatic notice with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly said earlier the event that Lebanon had been killed in next pilot zone to its either in the town of Ehlam or first Bray. Such areas saw heavy fighting in the latest Israel Hezbollah war and are currently occupied by Israeli forces.

But U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon, Yehudi Al-Hassani said, "I think that of the three-day talks that no new pilot zones would be immediately implemented, saying that 'moving too quickly risks jeopardizing the very civilians this process is meant to protect'".

Ukraine strikes more oil facilities deep inside Russia, Zelensky says

ELLIA KOVIKOV (CFP)

Ukraine hit more oil facilities deep inside Russia in overnight attack. President Vivaldyov Zelensky said Thursday, a Kyiv Kyiv up to campaign to undermine Moscow's wartime economic and industrial War Benefits.

The prepared strikes have caused fuel shortages and critical Russian-Tetranium, meanwhile, are enduring regular barrages that Kyiv's depleted air defences are struggling to counter amid Moscow's a year-old full-scale terrorism.

The Kyiv region observed an official day of invading Thursday after a Russian missile and drone little killed 17 people the previous day, prompting an increasingly urgent scramble by Ukraine and its allies to find new air defences supplies.

In the two months of this year, a jet civilians were killed and a 'cort' injured in Ukraine, the United Nations office in Kyiv said Wednesday. That was a 27 per cent increase from the same period last year and a six per cent jump over 2022, a bad, alternating the due to insuring a major aerial attack by Russia.

Mr Zelensky said the new with some officials on how to accelerate the development of Ukraine's own ballistic weaponry similar to its most wartime innovation in drone technology.

"Developing one's own ballistic capabilities and creating a new-able ballistic system is a task that ends using minority of countries worldwide have managed to accomplish," he said in a social media post. "Ukraine has this capability."

Mr Zelensky said he expects the program to produce results this year and next after it overcomes "key challenges," including preventing critical components, technological co-operation with partner countries, and choosing where to build the armaments.

Tetranium forces hit a refinery in Russian Bushionesian region, more than 1,000 kilograms from the front line, as well as a refinery in the Yaroslavl region, almost two kilometres from the border. Mr Zelensky said on social media.

Yaroslavl Governor Mikhail Yavuzov confirmed an attack on a refinery, saying in a telegram post that drone defences hit the facility's oil countries, sparking a fire. These private houses also caught fire, and several incidental buildings were damaged, he added.

Tetranium forces hit two Russian military positions, one in the Black Sea. Mr Zelensky said, along with the technology in Moscow's so-called shadow fleet, which Russia uses to evade Western restrictions on its oil exports. He did

not give any details.

The Russian Defence Ministry said its air defences overnight that down was Ukrainian drones over its territory.

Drone and air-absorb attacks across Ukraine overnight killed in a fast direct civilians and wounded 17 others, authorities said Thursday, as countries helping Kyiv more the invasion scrambled to find more vital air defences for its fight.

Moscow's forces have in recent weeks premedited Ukraine with ballistic missiles that Kyiv officials say only the U.S.-made Patriot air defence system can stop. But the Iran war has drained results of Patriot interceptor missiles, leaving Ukraine at the mercy of Russian bombardments that seek to capital the residential air defences.

"We are working as hard as possible with all partners who can assist with the supply of interceptor missiles to protect against such insane Russian strikes targeting life, people, and civil and facilities," Mr Zelensky said on social media late Wednesday.

He said he had spoken to NATO chief Mark Rutin and Finnish President Alexander Stebb about urgently procuring interceptor ferries. Mr Zelensky said he and Mr Rutin "co-ordinated our efforts regarding countries that have the necessary missiles and the capacity to help."

Russia appears determined to exhaust Ukraine through deoxy-renight circumstances in terms of soldiers, arenas and weapons. Russian President Vladimir Putin believes time in on his calls, that Western support will deal, and that Ukraine's resources will eventually collapse under pressure. Western analysts and officials say.

Ukraine's airlines said Russia fired four missiles and evoking cargo strike drones overnight, with air defences shooting down or jamming its drones.

Three people were killed in Rakhlin in the Kharkiv region of north-eastern Ukraine, said Vituks Ravdanov, head of the city's military administration.

In the neighbouring Sante region, Russian pilot bombs wounded at people, the National Police said. Apartment buildings and infrastructure were damaged, with hundreds of windows shattered, and regional military administration chief Dick Heynberg.

In the Kharkiv region of southern Ukraine, a Russian drone struck a line carrying farmworkers, injuring its people, regional authorities said.

Ransom-seeking hackers targeted U.S. private equity

RAPHAEL SATTER ALYUTAN AMBERAN SEN

Ransom-seeking hackers who are phone calls to compensate their victims targeted dozens of prominent U.S. financial institutions and other businesses over the past month, according to Google, and internet intelligence data reviewed by Reuters.

The data show the hackers devined websites aimed at stealing passwords from employees of private equity firms and companies, including Blackstone, Bridgewater Associates, Apollo Global Management, Rain Capital, KKR, TPC, CMI Group and Moody's, as well as a host of financial companies and other businesses.

Internet company Google said in a blog post about the hacking campaign published on Thursday that the hackers operate under a range of names, including Belair, Pink, Falcon, and Hibis. Google declined to comment on Ransom findings. Its blog said to some cases companies, which it did not name, paid someone to the hackers. Reuters could not establish which companies the hackers successfully compromised.

Experts say the hackers' use of low-tech cache such as phone calls to target the financial industry.

In its blog post, Google said: "I do not think that these firms or organizations have data sensitive enough that it takes they would pay for prevent it."

Google did not identify any of the hackers' targets by name. Reuters reviewed

many of the company-specific online traps used by the hackers by running the 7-mall-issue websites Google listed in its report through web intelligence platforms such as HumanTools and eXecast, which included malicious subdomain tailored to each firm.

Speaking in general about the subdomain, Larven said: "they all were likely used in attempted intrusions" though he cautioned "they were not all successful."

Google said the hackers used "mortcalous social engineering tactics," reaching employees on their personal cellphones while promoting to "all from their company's help" data, sometimes displaying the correct help desk phone number.

The hackers told their targets there was an urgent directive from 87 to update their میشود or modification authentication and stretch of employees toward a lowly-trapped website with domain names such as "punkershelpdesk" or "secure-punkers".

Reuters was not able to reach the hackers' door, which once went by the name Dublikin—said on its darkest website that its hackers "are not politically or morally motivated" and "are not currently taking questions from the press."

Larven said it was unclear who the hackers were exactly or what their relationship was to one another. Although they went under different names, he said they appeared to be more negative by common infrastructure.

"There are still some unknowns here," he said. The hacking attempts a few of which were earlier reported in the beginning, have caused a toll on Wall Street. For example, Reuters Ansel Management told investors on Wednesday that it has been targeted by hackers, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Major Italian cities on red alert amid heat wave across Europe

Extreme weather has pushed temperatures above 40 C in several countries

GABO ZAMBANO KIRSTEN GRESHARER JUSTIN SPIRE 2020

Italy placed all of its major cities under the highest heat alert Thursday at a blistering heat wave gripped Europe, setting a national temperature record in Austria, Ludwigs, wildfires in France and disrupting energy and transport systems across the continent.

The extreme weather has pushed temperatures above 40 C in several countries, prompting health warnings for millions of people.

Across Europe, authorities are grappling with the consequences of extreme heat. Health alerts for millions in Italy, record temperatures in Austria, drought-related disruptions to energy and shipping in Central Europe, and wildfires emerging from France to the Balkans.

Scientists and officials warn that such events are becoming more frequent and intense in the climate warms.

EUROPE COUNCIL SAVING WARS ACHIEVE COMPRES From the Mediterranean to Central Europe, prolonged heat, drought and wildfire conditions are increasingly becoming defining features of summer. The current heat wave has exposed vulnerabilities in public-health systems, power generation, transportation networks and tourism infrastructure, forcing governments and businesses to adapt to more frequent periods of extreme weather.

Rally's Health Ministry placed all yr cities monitored under its national heat surveillance system on red alert Thursday – the first time this year the entire network has been under the highest warning level simultaneously.

The alerts stretch from Trieste in the northeast to Palermo in Sicily and signal a health risk for the entire population, not only vulnerable groups such as older adults and people with chronic illnesses.

Authorities urged residents and tourists to avoid direct sunlight during the hotline hours of the day, remain indoors where possible and drink plenty of water as temperatures in some areas approached at 45 C.

The heat has also forced adjustments at major tourist attractions. The incidence of tourism and culture extended evening opening hours at Landmarks, including Rome's Colosseum and Pantheon.

Cooling mori fans have been installed at the Colosseum's entrances and additional medical stations have been made available.

AUSTRIA BREAKS NATIONAL TEMPERATURE RECORD

The most intense temperatures were recorded in Austria, where the intensity reached 40 C. On Wednesday in the village of Bad Deutsch-Kleuthen near the Slovak border, according to Gerdybeer Austria. It was the highest temperature ever recorded in the country.

Austria is also facing severe drought. Rainfall from Jan. 1 through June 30 was 27 per cent below the long-term average nationwide, while some eastern regions received only half their normal precipitation.

Climatologist Alexander Odik said some parts of the country had not experienced such dry conditions since 1989.

MONDAY CUTS POWER USE AS DROUGHT HITS MULLAR PLANT

In Hungary, prolonged drought and record-low water levels on the Danube River have severely affected the country's only nuclear power plant, which relies on river water to cool its reactors.

Plant operators have reduced output to about 10 per cent of normal production, prompting the government to introduce emergency conservation measures as a record-breaking heat wave grips the country.

Authorities have asked major industrial users and households to cut electricity consumption, particularly during peak demand hours between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. English trains have been barred from operating during those hours, while decorative lighting on landmarks in Budapest has been enriched off.

Several major companies, including energy company Mel, pharmaceutical maker Cedean Richter and automakers Canada, Sheraton-Bank, Atak and BMW have announced plans to curb electricity use.

The heat wave has chattised temperature records across the country. On Wednesday night, Budapest recorded its warmest overnight low temperature on record, with temperatures falling only 10-18 C, underscoring the persistence of the extreme heat.

GERMANY MODELS ABOUT SHENKING RIVER

Germany faced growing concerns over the impact of drought on transportation and industry as water levels on the Rhine and other rivers continued to fall.

Transport Minister Heffen Hilger met affected organizations Thursday and warned that low water levels posed major challenges for inland waterway shipping, industry and the broader logistics chain.

FRANCE REMAINS ON HIGH WILDFIRE ALERT

In southeastern France, firefighters maintained a large presence in the Var region after authorities said a major wildfire there was no longer spreading but remained capable of reigniting.

The blunt, which began July 30, has burned more than six square kilometres, making it the largest recorded in the region in recent decades.

Authorities warned that strong winds and extremely dry conditions left southeastern France at very high risk for additional wildfires.

BALKANS BATTLE FIRES AND DROUGHT

The heat wave reached its peak across the Balkans on Thursday at temperatures neared 40 C and authorities battled drought and wildfires.

In Serbia, firefighters struggled to contain several blazes after days of dry weather. One major fire burned through pine forests west of Belgrade, while another spread near the central town of Kraljevo.

Activist Zhang Kinyan believes she was only able to evade persecution by China's Communist Party because of the international attention on her case over 2000, the time on two.

Dissident: She hopes to connect with other Falun Gong practitioners, resume her activism

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2020

A student brought the note to the headmaster, who lambened her at a school assembly and said he would be reporting her to the police, she said. She fled to Thailand shortly after.

"For sure, I would be arrested," Ms. Zhang said. "I would be put in jail and subject to torture. And then sentenced."

In Thailand, she says she worked for a Falun Gong news-cashier covering the Hong Kong government.

On May 7, Ms. Zhang said she was leaving her apartment when she was approached by officers who asked if she had her passport. She did not, it had been seized by authorities at the Chinese embassy when she sought to renew it, she said.

Ms. Zhang insisted that she held protected refugee status with the United Nations, to no avail. Officers took her to an immigration detention centre in Bangkok, where she faced possible deportation to Hong Kong or mainland China.

As Ms. Zhang sat in detention, pro-democracy activists worked to draw attention to her case and international human rights organizations underscored the role of harm she faced should be transferred to Chinese custody. Ms. Zhang, the activist, co-ordinated efforts to secure her resettlement.

Ms. Zhang obtained legal counsel.

Canadian embassy officials in Bangkok interviewed Ms. Zhang, completed medical examinations and business data collection at the detention centre, eventually finalizing her flight itinerary from Bangkok to Vancouver for 16 h. Ms. Zhang told The Globe.

Ms. Zhang said her understanding was that an officer would meet her at 5 a.m. to take her to the airport for her early morning flight. But when the time came, no one showed up.

"I was in town, begging police to take me to the airport," Ms. Zhang recalled. "I showed them my plane ticket. But their hearts were not moved. They told me the ticket had already been cancelled."

She said she was given no explanation why and was not allowed to make a phone call or watch the news to determine what had happened. Her lawyers petitioned the South Bangkok Criminal Court for a hearing under the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act after they were unable to contact her.

Questioned by a judge at a July 1st hearing, a representative from Thailand's Immigration Service said the plane ticket had been cancelled at the behest of Chinese embassy officials in Thailand because she was wanted by Hong Kong police, Ms. Zhang said.

"It was the Chinese embassy's instruction for the ticket to be cancelled, after which I was supposed to be taken back to China," she said. "They even showed evidence of the instruction given by the Chinese embassy – documents."

Ms. Zhang said someone seemed her in English that she could not be chaired to China. She was sent back to the detention centre, where she says representatives from the UN regularly checked us on her, until her Aug 3 flight to Canada.

She said she was taken to the airport where she was met by UN representatives who didn't leave her side until she boarded the plane.

In Vancouver, Ms. Zhang has since met with two members from the "Hong Kong Parliament" who say they will continue to advocate for her in the pursuit of freedom and democracy. She said she plans to take some time to rest, then hopes to connect with other Falun Gong practitioners and resume her activist work.

Ms. Zhang said she believes she was only able to evade persecution because of the international attention on her case, and the efforts of many. She said she is grateful to be in Canada.

"I eventually was able to breathe the air of freedom," she said.

Mapuches' battle over land in Chile enters a perilous phase under Kast presidency

As a far-right leader promises a crackdown in the south, Indigenous advocates worry about what lies ahead

ALEXANDER VILLEGAS JOHN GONZALEZ / HUGO HIGGICO, CHILE

After years of reclaiming ancestral lands through occupation, salvage and clashes with police, midwest Mapuchec groups are confronting one of their toughest periods in decades as lengthy prison sentences and a crackdown by Chile's new far-right President José Antonio Kast gather past.

Reuters is the first news organization to gain access to Fando Palenes and one of the few to access several other emblematic centres of Mapuche resistance, including communities where police and state authorities rarely enter.

Several visits offered a rare glimpse into a movement confronting new difficulties as Mr Kast promises to restore order in Chile's long-running southern conflict. While some communities vow to continue restoring, younger generations are increasingly turning toward legal methods such as university study, courts and environmental campaigns to defend ancestral lands.

The Mapuchec are Chile's largest Indigenous group, representing nearly 300,000 of the total population, or about 1.6 million, according to Chile's latest census data, and the only one in the Americas to have negotiated an independence treaty with Spain after centuries of resistance. Much of Mapuchec territory remained outside Chile and its control until the late 19th century.

Land law accelerated during the August to Prosches' dictatorship from 1973 to 1976, when large tracts were transferred to forestry companies. Land reform that benefit all Mapuches under broader president Salvador Allende was largely reversed, and between 1973 and 1976, nearly 1.7 million hectares of land were planted with eucalyptus and pine, with much of that land coming from Mapuchec areas.

Although some Mapuches have pursued state-backed land purchases, others have

THE LILING AND MAIL SOURCE: OPINION/THE TRAP sought to reclaim territory through occupation.

Mapuchec activists have set fire to forestry companies' vehicles, excavators, logging towers, camps, warehouses and offices. They have also attacked churches, cabins, crops and tourist complexes belonging to large landowners.

The most prominent militant organization in the Coordinadora Anasco Malleos, or CAM, which has long advocated recovering territory 'nortier by meter' and establishing Wellington, a new independent Mapuche state that would have its own government, currency and foreign policy.

CAM members say they only target company property, rather than people, but clashes involving security forces, landowners and activists have left nearly 40 people dead over the past 30 years.

Large parts of Chile's south have been under a state of emergency since 2002. Leftist former president Gabriel Borja vowed to solve the Mapuchec issue through dialogue,

but after his security minister was chased out of the region by gunfire, and authorities reported a rise in arson attacks and shootings, he declared a temporary state of emergency that has been extended dozens of times since.

Since taking office, Mr Kast has pledged to restore order in the south and take a tougher approach toward violence linked to the conflict.

In Temezcan, one of the most emblematic centres of Mapuche resistance, police conducted large-scale raids in May, detaining five activists, including Jorge Ruandhuilao, a worker, or community spokesperson.

His brother, Jaime Ruandhuilao, and increased militarization was deepening resentment.

The state of emergency has led the government to deploy troops and armoured vehicles in the area to patrol and support other government authorities.

The militarization here has been going on for a little over four years, and it's interesting every day. The land, alleging that vehicles are routinely stopped and children questioned while travelling to school.

The children convince themselves more and more at an early age that the Mapuchec people have to fight, they have to defend themselves.

Mapuchec leaders have denounced tougher prosecutions and longer prison sentences as political persecution.

Among the most prominent prisoners in CAM founder Héctor Llahal, who is serving a 10-year sentence for attacks against authorities, timber theft and violent land occupation. Fifteen years of his sentence were due to incitement to violence.

In written responses provided in Reuters through his lawyer, Mr Llahal described the prosecutions as part of a broader strategy to suppress Mapuche resistance.

The criminalization becomes another tool of political persecution, taking on punitive and punishing overtones rather than re-education, in order to subdue and enter-

Authorities have argued the correction method an important step toward reducing violence in Chile's south.

Mr Kast's office redirected questions about the crackdown and claims of political persecution to the Interior Ministry. The ministry did not reply to repeated requests for comment.

A tally by Indigenous groups estimates that roughly 100,000 hectares are occupied by Mapuche communities in the south, while a study by a local business association estimates that 10,000 hectares are effectively off limits to police and state authorities.

Nearly a decade later, Fundo-Pidenso remains in transition. A network of winding dirt roads cuts through hillsides connecting wooden homes, grazing livestock and fields of emerald green lights.

'This used to be a desert. But with everything we've done here we've been healing the earth, rebuilding and bringing it back in life,' said Orfelina Alcaman, a community spokesperson.

Ms. Alcaman, 44, said she grew up hearing stories from her grandparents about how they lived and worked on the land before it became part of industrial forestry holdings. Together with other families and support from CAM, she entered Fundo-Pidenso in 2010 and never left.

'Since the first day we set foot here, it was with the intention of staying, not leaving,' she said. 'We don't want anything gifts to us. What we want is land to live as Mapuches, to grow as Mapuches, develop our

own economy and live freely and with dignity.'

Ms. Alcaman rejected accusations that Mapuche communities involved in land occupations are terrorists. 'I've never killed anyone. I've never kidnapped anyone. I've never injured anyone,' she said. 'But if being Mapuche and occupying this land that belonged to me ancestors makes me a terrorist, then I'm a terrorist.'

She pointed towards a crowd wooden to-tem known as chernamall standing on a hilltop burial site marking the grave of Pablo Marchant, a CAM activist killed during a clash with police in 2022 who has become a symbol of resistance.

'Like here, and I'll die here,' Ms. Alcaman said, adding that she wants to be buried next to Mr. Marchant. 'We're not going to surrender. They can come with hundreds or thousands of police, soldiers, whatever. They'll have to take us out dead.'

Arzuco, the forestry company that owns the land, declined to comment.

Corona, the association of forestry companies in Chile, also declined to comment for this story.

In late June, days after celebrations of Ni Tripanos, the Mapuche new year, deutered activists and leaders gathered outside a courthouse in Temuco, the same city where Mr. Kant launched his presidential campaign.

In the court, imprisoned activist Mr. Llatuli's son, Pelamaro, faced a similar future to her father. Pelamaro (Llatul) and her other young Mapuche men had been accused of participating in an attack on a forestry plantation that left tracks and an excavator burned. They were eventually given assistance of between 14 and 16 years in prison.

Outside the courthouse supporters stood silently around a fire in the winter cold. Mr. Tripanos, celebrated during the Southern Hemisphere winter solstice, is a symbol of longer days and new beginnings.

After the hearing, Héctor Llatul's eldest son, Ernesto, addressed the crowd. 'We don't have any reason to hang our heads or be ashamed of the situation we're in,' he said. 'It's the life we chose. The life of struggle.'

He acknowledged the pain of seeing another family member imprisoned after watching his father receive a sentence of more than two decades. 'We knew this process was going to be difficult,' he said. 'Maybe they've won a certain battle, but they haven't won the war.'

The crowd periodically responded with shams of 'Marcheons,' commonly translated as 'to times we will win.'

'We don't have the luxury of giving up.' Ernesto said. 'The worst thing we can do for those who are imprisoned is abandon the struggle that put them there.'

Yet even as veteran activists move through prisons and courthowies, younger Mapuche are increasingly recognizing different ways to continue the struggle.

Standing nearby was Mr. Llatul's youngest son, Nishai, 10, a law student at the University of Chile, one of the country's top universities. Unlike the generation of wehdy, or warriors, that emphasized direct confrontation, he now legal advocacy as a way to defend Mapuche prisoners and an central lands.

'I didn't start school 100-per-cent convinced I wanted to study law, but I've been motivated by a dream of being able to help Mapuche prisoners. My family too, I'll care,' he said.

Today, he works with communities to explain Indigenous land rights and legal protections.

His path reflects wider changes under way across Mapuche communities as younger generations balance ancestral traditions, higher education and an evolving conflict.

The struggle is changing elsewhere, too. In the mountainous Alto Biofrio region, 20-year-old Millaray Suarez represents a younger generation focused less on recovering forestry lands and more on protecting rivers, forests and medicinal plants as a new wave of international companies set its sights on southern Chile for wind, hydroelectric and green hydrogen projects.

Ms. Suarez is one of a small number of young markets, or spiritual leaders, who use traditional plants gathered throughout southern Chile. Embracing the role meant remaining in her community and taking on responsibilities that previous generations of leaders have struggled to pass on. Local leaders say both market and future medicinal plants used in traditional healing are becoming increasingly scarce because of land loss.

The land struggle has evolved as well. Ms. Suarez's father, Emilio Segundo Suarez, spent years fighting for territory after communities were pushed onto rocky and less productive land up in the Andes mountains.

Today, the family is focused on opposing the Bacalhue hydroelectric dam being built on the Biofrio River by Chaux's Bona Gorges company. The project, they say, threatens old growth forest areas where rare medicinal plants still grow.

'The dam will flood the area, and that is burnt will disappear,' Ms. Suarez said. 'As market, we don't just make remedies and heal. We also have a duty to protect the little that we have left. We have to protect this earth.'

Despite the rejection of a legal injunction like the local market, she remains constant. While many young Mapuches learn for cities in search of opportunities, Ms. Suarez believes her generation has a responsibility to remain.

'Our ancestors fought hard, many were killed, and now it is up to us, the youth,' she said. 'Just as they gave their lives to defend this land, we are also going to defend the little we have left.'

Realtor fees need to come down to earth

Should your landscaper get paid more because the price of your property went up? Of course not – and neither should your realtor. Changes to industry practices would result in greater competition, resulting in lower realtor fees and better home affordability.

In 2020, the average Toronto home sale resulted a commission of $26,276, split between the seller's and buyer's realtors. In 2023, the average sale gave the realtors $25,320 – 4.79 per cent rise, for exceeding inflation.

The fact that realtor commissions are usually based on a percentage of the home sale price is a fundamental inequity linked into the real estate market that has contributed to affordability problems. While realtor commissions have dropped slightly in the last four years along with national home prices, they are substantially higher than a decade ago. The duties of a real estate agent, meanwhile, remain essentially the same.

The current slow real estate market should be giving home buyers an opportunity to negotiate lower fees with their realtors. There are a few signs that this is happening, with some "cash-back realtors," who return a portion of their commissions to the buyer, reporting a rise in business.

But most people continue to use full the realtors rather than turning to discounted services or selling their homes without an agent. The traditional fee structure has largely stayed in place, in part due to anti-competitive practices that keep fees high.

If true that realtor fees aren't fixed, and the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), which represents realtors, says its policies are "pro-competitive and pro-consistent." (And realtors will point out that their risk home pay is substantial. It lies in the commission they receive, as they have to pay their brokerage, as well as fees for licensing, insurance, and other expenses.) However, it's no coincidence that the vast majority of sales follow the customary fee structures, which vary by province.

One reason is that rules from CREA require the seller's realtor to offer a commission to the buyer's realtor for homes on the 4th system, the database where most properties are listed. Because the buyer doesn't pay their realtor directly, they have low insurance and ability to pay it in lower fees. However, the high fees are effectively built into the price they pay for the home.

Seltzer realtors generally don't want to offer lower commissions to buyers' realtors, as that can slow down a deal. Research shows that homes with lower buyers' agent commissions take longer to sell – and are less likely to sell at all.

The practice of having the seller's agent pay the buyer's agent is currently being looked at by the Competition Bureau, and it's also the subject of a class-action lawsuit. The Competition Bureau says that as of now, there is no conclusion of wrongdoing from CREA and local real estate boards, but if there is evidence of legal concerns, it could make an application to the Competition Tribunal to prohibit the conduct or seek remedies.

Buyers would have more ability to negotiate if they paid their realtors directly. Local real estate boards, provincial governments and regulators should work together to make the commission structure more transparent and give more control to buyers. Consumer-friendly practices could make it easier for flat-fee realtors to expand, which would increase affordability.

Other industry practices also need further scrutiny. The Competition Bureau is also looking at a CREA policy that requires that residential real estate listings be placed on an MLS system within three days of public marketing unless an emergency applies. The Bureau's investigation is looking at if this practice gives large brokerages an advantage, as they can access more listings within their firm/firm or smaller competitors.

Real estate agents bring important expertise to what are often the most important financial transactions in people's lives. It's likely that gross more pricing options, many will still opt for traditional realtor services with high fees.

However, a broader attitude of commissions is overdue. Lower fee models and flat-fee services, which don't run and fall as home prices shift, deserve a fair shot at gaining consumer support. These changes would be another step in boosting affordability and helping young buyers get into the market.

CANADA READY TO GET TOUGHER...

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COUNT THE MAYS

Re "Canada ready to 'get tougher.' If U.S. trade deal isn't reached for less deadline, Canary says" (Aug 6) "The Prime Minister ... is typically careful not to unnecessarily provoke the mercantile U.S. President."

The Prime Minister has repeatedly and deliberately provoked the U.S. President, but to name a few, these provocations include allowing Doug Ford to run anti-cardt Donald Reagan advertising in the United States, mumbling "who can't 'do last year when a reporter asked how free trade negotiations were going,' the Russo speech, jutting about in search of new trade deals elsewhere, more recently saying that Canada's ties with the U.S. have become "weaknesses."

Canadians who finish the U.S. is totally at fault for the mess as to us should give their heads a shake.

DRIVE TO THAT

Re "The provinces serve up a cocktail of pretty political prowling" (Editorial, Aug. 6). The quasi-agreement between provinces (except Quebec) to allow inter-provincial deals to consumer-a-cricket sales to the typical minimum of rules whose main goal seems to be promoting parochial interests. A consequence of provinces controlling retail alcohol sales through government-owned stores.

In an enlightened environment, provincial entities would never be the retail model, no one fettered competitive retail environment regulated by a province, as principally a tax collector, would be a far better choice.

Provinces seem unable to see themselves of the puritan yoke that, not that long ago, had alcohol hidden in brown paper bags. © Frank Malone Aurora, Ctr.

STAND STILL

Re "Alberta is allowing patients to sell order for some diagnostic tests. What's the end game?" (Jul 9, 2023) I believe the health care reform dollars has been lost.

Coming out of the pandemic, though there was momentum for change. Canadians had been confronted on a basic scale with the significant shortfalls of their once-most-halmed insistence, which leaves millions of people without even a family doctor.

There was a time that formal outside walk-in clinics in winter as hour before registration even began. If we were not waiting in the cold, we were waiting on the phone, in the hallways, in the emergency room, in past.

The momentum I saw is gone.

We are back to where Canadians always are, increasingly dissatisfied but paralyzed with fear.

Reactions from health care leaders and the professional class to modest proposals in Alberta seem to be the typical Canadian response: uncertainty, unsplendid, re-evaluation and, worst of all, no useful proposals on what should be done other than nothing.

AGNET TO BURN

Re "A 8-yr-million hack has hit cost users withholding how they store their crypto" (Aug. 21) that can this be reality? I believe bitcoin is a worthless commodity backed by the fresh air of the globe's atmosphere.

When the dance finally ends, every participant will likely lose whatever they bet. Note the description of bitcoin "users," not bitcoin "investors."

This makes collateralized debt obligation, as reported on by Michael Lawe in his book The Big Shot, look like gold ingots in comparison.

This smart could also have been caused by a good fighter, or the Douglas Avengers, Inc.

CHURCH AND STATE

Re "The Cal's new public 'player ban' is not an attack on religious freedom" (Aug. 21) I agree.

But as being things, it is not nature to adapt. And as human beings, it is not nature to strive to understand, to make better and more creative use of the universe in which we live.

Without reference to a particular religious prescription, or doctrine, to acknowledge God is simply to acknowledge that we are part of a greater, awesome, marvellous, grand, splendid, dynamic universe, with, from a human point of view, infinite potential. It is, in other words, to be realistic and proud what the ancient Greeks called before.

Not really a religious belief, it is neutral. It is a acknowledgement of our faithfully and, in opening a public meeting, of good and collaborative intentions. It should not offend anyone with an open mind.

© Stephen McHanna O'Neal

I have no difficulty accepting the beneficial rule of religion as it provides for many people to Canada, and around the world, both guidance and comfort. I cannot afford the law to eligible for justly claims of superiority of one group over others. At alone, the hate and violence that too often start from extreme religious views.

On balance, I believe the sooner we truly separate state affairs

from religion, the better. Meanwhile, I will continue to teach my young grandchildren the official version of our national uniform, but will probably always sense a bit singing, "God keep our land glorious and free."

BUT OUT

Re "At 25, I've become a 'social smoker' and I'm not the only one" (Opinion, Aug. 11) This dictates me for two reasons.

The fact is that the incidence of smoking seems to be on the rise. No smoke escapes the effects of the poison which cigarettes contain.

Tobacco kills, and this behaviour is not simply risky or a bit dangerous, as some "influences" may suggest. Tobacco smoke is still an important work every inhalation.

The second is the nihilistic point of view used as a rationale for smoking. Yet throughout history, there have always been wars, unemployment, disasters of various kinds and political upheaval.

It is still the best of times. No happens to be in one of the most stable, beautiful, prosperous and safe countries in the world. No have all won the lottery.

If we consider the incredible hardships our ancestors, whatever their background, endured to live and conjured that to our current way of life, the outlook expressed here seems just a touch, well, privileged.

NO GO

Re "New York City wants Canadian tourists back. With discounts won you throw" (Eaton Rich Newsletter, July 20) I cancelled four planned trips to the United States starting in January, 2020, and I have not been there since. No amount of enforcement, while Donald Trump continues to harass Canada, would get me to travel and spend my hard-earned money there.

I need to go to New York every year to see materials, but now I just double my trips to London. Going to the U.S. is convenient and easy, but the world is a big place.

Until the harassment committee, and I can't understand why Canadians are still travelling to the U.S. I have to give my head a shake.

The housing crisis is bad for our health

Public policy needs to change more quickly and robustly to tackle such a fundamental problem

ANDRE

FELMAN

OPINION

Housing shapes health, health shapes work; health shapes income; and income shapes the most generation's superintuitive.

The public is not a superintuitive. The Public Housing Division's ability to be important. There are few things most important to ever end house, and whether it will not be done, than having work over our heads.

If you don't have stable housing, it's hard to be healthy, employed and put back on the table.

But Canada is struggling with an ever-wonning, multitasked housing crisis.

In recent years, the homeless population has exploded. So too have encampments, the most

stable manifestation. Rents have wound. So too has the price of homes.

The wait for supportive housing stretches to years. It's not the case, for more than half of household outcome to be gobbled up by housing costs. Even people with good salaries struggle to live in cities like Vancouver and Toronto. Meanwhile, many units of money or speculators quickly await big evasion.

The housing affordability crisis is bad for our physical and moral health. And not so great for the economy.

The typically Canadian response has been to produce or profit, lots of reports.

That comment is not meant to be overly cynical. Calls to action take awareness and, hopefully, now policy change.

But it's a reminder that public policy in Canada operates in slow motion. We are not inclined to guide or robust responses, even to a problem as fundamental as lack of housing.

This is not to suggest that governments are doing nothing. There is an endless parade of housing-related announcements. On Wednesday, for example,

Prime Minister Mark Canter announced $2.5 billion in funding to bolster rental housing in Toronto. That investment will see the construction of a low- and formal courts. At least some of them will be designated as 'affordable,' and a portion will be supportive housing.

These new projects are welcome, but a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed.

Consider that, in South Africa, there are 10,000 people on wait lists for rental housing and that half of the existing 40,000 units are so old and modern that they need to be replaced in the next decade.

But in its report 'The Public Housing Division,' the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis argues, as the title suggests, that more public housing is a good investment, generating $2.5 billion in every dollar invested.

The report also reminds us these investments need to be significant to be impactful.

By the CCEA's calculation, investing $10.4 billion in public housing in the Toronto area would generate $10.6 billion in economic and social costs over 20 years.

That $10.4 billion spend would allow for the construction of 41,000 new rental housing units (10.4 billion) and upgrades in existing stock (10.4 billion) to keep those units functional.

Overall, the investment would result in a 7.7% lower people experiencing homelessness, strain 44,000 jobs annually, and generate $10.6 billion in federal and provincial care revenues over time. It would also reduce more power than present rates, hospital stays, and justice system costs to the time of $1.6 billion.

'Public housing is not charity, and it's not simply desha,' the production infrastructure,' the report argues.

A second report, released Thursday, also reminds us that there is over 30 teachers.

The public is not a 'focusing' problem in Canada,' the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness shows that many years are batting homelessness, much more so than other factors like

long minors and mental illness. In other words, it demonstrates, with data, what we have long known. But lack of housing affordability is driving people to

the streets. In cities where rents are highest, and availability of rents/rooms is lowest, the number of people living with homelessness is most acute.

The logical constraints from these findings is that solving homelessness requires addressing the housing needs for the lowest income (Canadian,' the report says.

While that is true, governments must stay there. The housing affordability problem extends far beyond the homeless and these requiring social housing and supportive housing. Low wage workers and even middle-class families need some relief from.

It's most not all come in the form of government subsidies, but in policy changes that make building and renting homes easier, and more.

The $10.6 billion, so year National Housing, is a strong, launched in 2017, was loaded with good intentions. But the most iteration, which is being formulated now, needs to be more ambitious, and more effective.

On the housing crisis, we need more action, and fewer calls to action.

The wars in Iran and Ukraine converged years ago

OPINION

Istanbul-based journalist who ceases conflict, politics and gender

On 30th, a camp ship on chord of the Caspian Sea, not to find from the mouth of the Vaja River, because the top of Ukrainian drones. The attack did not cure enemies dead and caused considerable damage to the vessel.

The Security Service of Ukraine, the country's intelligence agency, announced shortly after that they had targeted a new, formal vessel that was being 'used to transport military cargo to Russia'.

For months now, the Ukrainian military had shifted its offensive and had been targeting Russian interests on land and at sea, in an attempt to inflict damage, and with relative success, to the infrastructure enabling Russia's invasion of its territory. In that sense, the attack was not out of the confidence.

But this ship, named 947 Avon, was not Russian, but Iranian.

The Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Asaghafa accused that the clapman was not a commercial ship, demanding restitution and threatening a military response. He also accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of drugging Europe into the continuing war in the Middle East by political coworkers in the West, many years boldest and observers learnt that the attack could trigger the convergence of the two of the world's largest wars. Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the U.S.'s attacks on Iran.

Despite the risk of escalation, diplomatic machinery locked in, and the dispute was resolved by the following Tansular Iran was reportedly around that the attack was unintentional. An Iranian military adviser said that Tehran's plans to launch strikes at these Ukrainian sites were cancelled if it was 'apolog' from Kyu.

But the face in the Ukraine and Iran are already engaged in a conflict, even if they haven't directly faced each other on the battlefield. After all, Iran and Ukraine have both maintained support for each other's enemies for years.

Iran has consistently funded the Russian military since before

it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, since last months before President Vladimir Putin launched his 'special operation' in Ukraine, in 2020. Iran with 5,000,000 words of weapons to Russia, most notably the Shabad armament aerial vehicle (SAV), fleets of suicide drones that Russia will save on, near-daily basis, and that would serve in Ukrainian sites, nearly 2025. No USN (USN) has, has allowed Russia to produce its own drones based on the Russian most of its called the Cezar UAV. Russia now many produces more than 20% of these drones and similar variants only at the Kalanga kyo

and Economic Zone in Russia. 'In 2025, Russia and Iran also signed the Comprehensive Ocean for Partnership Treaty in Moscow, which had been one only military support but also intelligence sharing and joint threat response.

By aligning with the Putin, extending its support for his invasion and directly supporting it with zero, Tehran effectively placed itself in confrontation with Ukraine.

Meanwhile, since the start of the U.S.'s war against Iran, Ukraine has chased its expertise and technology in interrogating Iranian drones and weapons with its formal financial commitment to

the Gulf under attack from Iran. It has, 2005, all, directed more than 44,000 Shabad drones as of 2020, and has even learned to do it on a budget. This technical defense support is a strategic response, aimed at weakening Russia's allies.

And rather this year, as mass demonstrations threatened the Iranian regime's political control, Mr Zelensky met with the ended Iranian Crown Press: Kesa Chakravsky was an active for the most recent and the Black Sea Security Forum in China.

Even if the Caspian Sea episode truly was 'unintentional,' it is in keeping with Kyu's expanding military strategy of increasingly targeting Russian military supply chains, including warehouse, oil refineries and oil tankers transporting fuel and cargo linked to the military Iran remains an integral part of these supply chains.

During the course of my own reporting in Ukraine, it became clear to me that Ukrainian view the Iranian regime as an accomplice to Russia's war, and by extension, as approved. The sentiment was profited by the Russian Prime Minister Shusha V. Uleman's ambassador to both Africa, invited to offer condolences for the deadlock to send the USM peace to the USM. The USM's position relative to the USM's attack began in March, by did not mimic his words. 'As military allies of the Russian Federation, the deceased leaders of Iran had on their hands the blood of thousands of Ukrainian citizens,' as well as the USM's position they year to the time of Iran—in most machines of death-bending every night in the sky over Kyu's chance help but work for every culprit to meet the justice they deserve.'

Canada is not working together to confront the wildfire crisis

TAKYO

TALAGA

OPINION

The summer is shaping up to be one of the worst wildfire seasons in Canadian history—and it's only the beginning of August.

Thousands have been displaced across the country. The mergeror/saggen (Collins) and Whitehead First Nations, in Northern Ontario, have formed to the ground in 8.8 L. (Hampden-Newton) and Red Line Wilson estimates that at least 200 homes there have been downwards by the Bradley Crick wildfire.

We have now been taken over 1,000 homes, with people disclosing fires with nothing more than the clothes on their bodies. We've heard stories of a railway worker urgently warning a community to get the hell out, of a 19-year-old boy with a small head and a dog having his handwashers or safety. Regular Canadian have donated so many clothes and hair items that some communities have had

to ask donations to stop.

First Nations communities have been affected disproportionately by these fires. We are on the front lines of climate change that commensals. But in the grand-based forest that stretches across the northern part of mouth of Canada, it wasn't until the media turned the skies orange in firemots and it became hard to breathe that the country's only unflavored that the world they know is burning up.

Lightning causes many of the fires we are seeing now, and extreme weather brought on by the sun, and the sun's light made them explosive. (Hinds)—Yes. You a great. You is talking to us. And the is angry.

Canada have about her rage, and how it would affect our communities. The 2020 federal budget stated that First Nations were at times more likely to be evacuated than the rest of Canada. Judgment services Canada (JSC) says that from one country, an average of 30 wildfires per year (through First Nations on reserves - a number of times increased by 20 per cent from 2019 to 2025. And every year,

we see thousands evacuated from the James Ray coast and sent to live in hotels in the south - part of the more than 240,000 Indigenous people across the country. As part of the their homes from 2019 to 2025.

Sodd Kigada is a member of Hawkinsagain First Nation and the former national director of JSC's emergency room in Washington. 'I kept saying that we were the canaries in the coal mines,' he told me. He pushed to put emergency management co-orders into on reserves, and his millions went toward those jobs. So, said Kigada, 'I was determined who got the funding.'

The interest was and is needed, but it must be part of a permanent, comprehensive and more robust plan that includes unrecognized reserves such as Collins and Whitehead. And if all the government aren't working, to gather with First Nations, but it shall place are useless.

A public inquiry is needed now that the Cezar UAV's plan is of failed to respond - to the wildfires. That's particularly true for Ontario, which is in the middle of

what's projected to be the province's worst wildfire season over.

In 2025, Melbourne July. No two Cezar UAVs' Alvin Halder found different Premier Peep Ford's plan called 'Emergency Management for First Nations on Ontario,' which pointed out the gaps in the emergency systems and made recommendations on how to address them. The report also noted that Ontario's Emergency Management and Certification Act doesn't even clearly define the between the definition of 'emergency' and 'divisional', which has contributed to delays in closing the comprehensive plan, as has a lack of 'meaningful partnerships' between first Nations and the federal and provincial governments. So the Halder-based board a word should mean - which is in keeping with McLeod who did not start with First Nation leaders when he visited Northern Ontario in July.

Ontario gives millions to the province to manage emergency management. Halder said, 'I know that it's known that are looking the province as essential, to ensure they are doing what they are supposed

to with that money.'

Ontario's Auditor General is understating a wildland fire management performance audit, an area the JSC's office frequently has been doing business. First, the Ministry of Mines, Emergency Management Ontario and the Ministry of Natural Resources have only collected in fully implemented the 2020 level of the JSC's recommendations, and so per cent of the others would have no progress.

'Growing up as a kid, we'd have run for a day or two,' said Mr Halder. 'Now a common move made by the state is a move that an hour and that it is. Or when there is a storm it usually comes with a storm and lightening causes fires. It is so dry the morning's house.'

There are too many problems to count in how we are responding to climate emergencies that are happening more frequently than ever. The transparency of an enquiry can help to figure out a path forward.

This politically inept romcom is fit to be purged

A high-concept premise takes away from the film and leaves nothing in return

BERNEMER SMOOTHILL

REVIEW

One Night Only

CLASSIC CATHOLIC, 183 MINUTES

Directed by Will Clark

Written by Tania Baum

Starring Monica Barbaro, Callum Turner and Maryn Banks

Somewhere at Universal Pictures, there's an executive who probably hates romcom but was sold on the pitch that One Night Only is "the Purged to be sex," or "the romcom's science to The Purg!" That's essentially what the awkward premise behind the Night Only feels down to.

The alleged romcom, starring a delightful Monica Barbaro and Don Egan's husband Callum Turner, is not in an alternative universe. Promotional sex has been outlawed in the United States, except, as the title spends up, for one night only, boasty and a pinch for the same. The couple's end with a man, as in the Purg! movies, we get thousands of home Now York City singles touring into the streets and being for an orgy, stripping in the head of the city. The man is a good man, and getting it on like a pail-aidness to make the most of their iz those windows.

The world brushing can be annoying for a minute. Singles are aggressively varying right to find a match for the night, or flooding

into how spoof dating. They rush past must-zone and head straight for sexual harassment because the soundwaves use Macrombie, local businesses take to price purging anything and everything that helps customers get laid. Bety for a funeral. Eyes for a condom. Access for babysitting. Director Will Clark, of Easy A and Free Rah to fame. Inserts love to have the most frothy and animated fan with gift scenarios.

But The Purg! is set up had the politics of its time. From Black Lives Matter to Donald Trump's extremism - eroding through its windows, perhaps with most superficial terms. One Night Only hospital would parallels deceive, and distant, as if its main characters barely have a child at a society where the president says

the word 'much' is now a badge of honour. Try and find at least one person who is nothing, who does something worse than nothing is 'vapual' flag in their window or questioning a police officer about whether enforcing guarantees is worthwhile use of resources.

It's not that I want my romcom political. I don't expect to come out radicalized by a more directed by Clark, whose last movie was the 'Healthway' today's moment comedy. Anyone like his bed, all the sound he calls on One Night Only's high-concept premise takes away from the romcom of it all and give it such nothing in return. The precious most catacromamies in Tania Baum's script, which was voted the most liked unproduced script on the 2024 Black Cat, huddle under the

weight of exposition. Explanations of love aces have mandate to be lost attack on health paroxysms, from a very Trump-suited administration, become this movie's boldnessed idea of foregut.

Our two unfortunate leads, Barbara's 'Allis and Turner's' Ones, riptoe around One Night Only's passive politics, which made an Omicron reference into its perhaps bipartisan consideration for health autonomy, while struggling to work up genuine quads with such before or any one of their other attempted foodings. I'm tempted to say that Barbara, an Oscar nominee for her performance as Joan Baez in a Complex Unknown, is slamming it here. Only the never seems to stoop down to the movie's level, even when playing along with

some of its desperate and contrived slapstick. If anything, she elevates that stuff with her warmth, magnetism and genuinely playful sense of humour.

Barbaro makes the most of those vocals we heard in A Complex Unknown as Allis, a singer stuck recording jingles, searching for hilariously midside ways to sing about postures or the benefits of a product (all of) up a shot, giving her desperate night out, in the hopes to find a hook up that could be meaningful, she runs into Oveys.

He's a pious shop owner som that his girlfriend would choose to spend 50s one night when sex - legal with someone - than than him. The girlfriend is played by Mary Hawke. The actor playing the alternate she chooses to brink is not worth spoiling, to much of the should fail at One Night Only icons on the famous faces that unexpectedly pop up, forming up scenes opposite Turner, who is like Ron. What if you take away the Boston and the Seattle. I'm not sure what you're left with.

Barbaro has unabstinably selective actor, with obvious polite charms he plays all too eagerly. But he comes off to recent roles as a humorist and a method who has outgrown the 18's romance he seems perfectly outruths. He can't quite find his footing in the most adult face, opposite the much stronger acumenic he's been paired against (before this we saw him opposite Elizabeth Shein in Eternity). That leaves One Night Only's romance as unengaged as its politics, the quads that fly at the end feeling like its been imposed on sex as it's mandate.

Gonzo Brian Mulroney doc to debut in TIFF's Midnight Madness program

BARRY HERTZ

A "ingeniously awesome" documentary about late Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney from one of the country's most acclaimed filmmakers will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month, organizers announced Thursday.

Tobol Ladies and Condemns, Brian Mulroney, the doc by Matthew Rankin will play as part of TIFF's potentially popular Midnight Madness program, which highlights unconventional genre themes from around the world. Described by Midnight Madness programmes Peter Kaplowsky as a movie that's 'akin to an Adam Curtis documentary condoning on Heritage Minutes', the National Film Board-produced project is Rankin's follow-up to his widely acclaimed 2024 comedy Universal Language, which made the shortlist for best international Feature at the 2024 Academy Awards.

The Montreal-based Rankin is no stranger to either Midnight Madness or films about prime ministers. In 2024, Rankin's feature directorial debut, The Twentieth Century, painted a surreal fiction-ahead portrait of William Lyon Mackenzie King, and pre-

mured at that year's Midnight Madness program, winning the board for Best Canadian First Feature Film.

"I am particularly thrilled to welcome Matthew Rankin back to Midnight Madness, and especially with a documentary as it's the first time I've included one during my tenure," said Kaplowsky, who has overseen the after dark slate since 2007. "Despite utilizing largely archival footage, Rankin's film speaks to a devoted ecstatic truth as it depicts the political ascendancy of Mr. Mulroney, seeming the footage with a barrage of nostalgic Canadian pop culture derettes and original animation."

The Mulroney doc is one of 50 titles added to the homely limelight slate, which will open with the world premiere of Joshua G. Adams's slasher River, starring horror mainstay Jane Levy, and close with the South American premiere of Roger Trooper, the adult-minded animated adaptation of the iconic British comic strip, courtesy of Alison and Warcraft director Duncan Jones. Other highlights of the Midnight program include the Japan sat action comedy 'Finsign' Valence from Ukrainian-American provocative Eugene Kotlyarotko, the Malayalam vampire action thrill or Half from the mononymous di-

tector Sampal, and the drug-bellied action horror film Ed A De from Australian Himmickel Nick Knucke.

Outside of the main program, TIFF has added two new feature events to the Midnight scene: a special pretextual logo, a surveying of his Hong-Jin's 52/8 action epic thief, which arrives in Toronto after its divisive Cannes premiere this spring, and a victory lap presentation of Curry Rankin's psychological thriller. Obvious, which made its world premiere at the 2024 edition of TIFF before being acquired by Focus Features and going on to become one of this year's big four-office success stories.

Since 2024, Kaplowsky has also hosted Midnight Dueliness, an unofficial eve of TIFF event highlighting cult cinema and comic video set. Proceeds from last year's Dueliness were donated to the Palestinian Children's International and the Islamic Relief Center's Orphan hypoconship program. With their screening the night before the festival properly takes place. Kaplowsky will hold Midnight Dueliness Sept. 8, with details of this edition's programming and charitable recipients to be announced next week.

The 53rd annual edition of TIFF runs Sept. 10 through 20.

Manalora Mohiki plays Lord Menadiego Asahi in the The Samurai and the Prisoner. 2024 1st 2023 February 1, 2024

The Samurai and the Prisoner offers a richly rewarding mystery worthy of Kurosawa's bloody throne

BARRY

HERTZ

The Samurai and the Prisoner

CLASSIC CATHOLIC, 183 MINUTES

Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa

Written by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, based on the novel by Honoko Yonazawa

Starring Manalora Mohiki, Masaki Suda and Yuriko Noshitaka

CRITIC'S PICK

The great satisfaction of a Kiyoshi Kurosawa film lies in the director's seeming indifference to, well, delivering satisfaction. At least the kind of conventional, everything in a must-how distance probably expected by devotees of the many genres the prolific Japanese master plays to.

Whether working in horror (Care, Police, mob-dozen's Tokyo format), politically tinged thrillers (N@ of a toy) or worry social satire (Oma), the filmmaker prefers to leave his audiences in a state of instability, left to stereotypes just what it is they own, and what its content's thematic intentions might be.

This one is say that Kurosawa's film an impractical, frustrating practice - more so that the director places a high (and increasingly easy) value on letting a film take its time to stop into the beasts and minds of an audience. There is more to think about in the final few minutes of Care, for instance, than the dozens of horror films (made both inside and outside Japan) it inspired.

In a war, that war and which approach will help you digest Kurosawa's latest film, The Samurai and the Prisoner. But at the same time, there is something luxuriously comforting about watching the director use his many skills to tell a relatively straightforward murder mystery about power and contempt. Classical performances and rich in contrasts, that might be the most immediately, abundantly satisfying film in the 75 year-old director's magnificently long career.

Adapted from Hirodou Yonazawa's 2024 historical novel of the same name, The Samurai and the Prisoner is set in the mountains of 82th Japan, where a castle is under siege. Inside is Asahi Manadiego (Manalora Mohiki), who is leading a four latest rebellion against the Fallout (Ala Fathouja, 1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2

ILLUSTRATION BY WILLIE ZHOU

Mom's cooking radiated her love

FIRST PERSON

Watching her in the kitchen, I understand she has been present all along, through the quiet discipline of feeding a family, family life series

For decades, this was my mother's daily assignment. Every day, she would wash, cut, cook and serve hot, flavored meals – a luxury I ever realize not every family enjoy.

Growing up, I rarely witnessed the process. My job was to stay in my room or at the dinner table doing my homework. Later, as her adult daughter, my job became sitting and relaxing in the living room, waiting to be understood by the familiar call when the food is ready. 'Suh Jae!'

Today, being here to witness every movement of Mom's head, every angle of the Chinese clover is it touches the ingredients and every sound sang before the first taste, I realize how solitary this space is. So many mothers like mine, year after year, fulfill their daily assignments alone. The only evidence of their labour is our empty bowls of rice.

I didn't grow up with many bugs and lisses, but I shared my childhood with the rhythmic task-suit of the clover and the percussive clink of chepticks. Today, I stay to listen: the brittle crack of garlic, the confident smash, the clean accuracy of each out from the chilies seem to carry a kind of courage. This is the chai Jae, the conscious preparation.

I watch her eyeball see sauce, cooking wine and sugar – not gassing, but sen-

ing. Chinese mothers seldom follow recipes, even when they claim to. They follow memory, instinct and the mood of the day. I used to rinish this was stubbornness. Now I was something else. She is smelling, gassing and responding to what the chicken made today. A silent conversation between her and the food. The man made I confidently meeting the curiosity of the cooking wine, the salience of the tea sauce balancing the sweetness of sugar.

Using to thing Kong, Pera and Canada, Mom has spent a lifetime adapting to changing ingredients. The ginger of my childhood used to have a sharper bite now is in milder, softened by time and place. No matter where we lived, she at ways found a way to make Cantonese food taste like N岭in. Like her ingredients, she has lived beside me and witnessed my change – my voice, my quails, my teeth – and adapted to every transition I went through.

I had long concluded that my passion were incapable of seeing me, validating me or understanding me. Praise was scarce; encouragement over still. But watching her today, I realize something. Mom does notice. She tastes and adjusts, always adding her own quiet touch. She is uniquely herself, yet she makes room for the other.

Time, ingredients and skill aren't enough. A good story is needed for people I work by. In Canada, Mom never had the luxury of a flame – only an electric stove, cleaner and more convenient, but lacking the breath of the web. Still, the kitchen told its own story: chapped, mostairched bowls, pots with Maduceal bottoms and a tangle fused coated in a fine layer of oil. Evidence of a life spent feeding others.

Itches for Jae, the call that breaks the kitchen's silence, Mom cuts the chicken

with the same certainty she has carried through every season of our lives. The third of the stories, the loss of the pan, the sharp perfume of ginger, its years of love expressed without words.

I see the intimacy of that love now. It was never only the food that mostairled me. There has always been something about Mom's cooking that no Michelistarred restaurant could ever reproduce. I used to think it was the gas stove in Hong Kong, or the sharper ingredients in Pera. Now I understand that every meal carried her attention – her own way of caring.

For years, I believed love should sound like words of affirmation or feel like physical affection. I didn't recognize my mother had been speaking a different language all along. Her love was in the making room, the commemoring. I could not understand that language until I learned to speak it myself – until I, too, learned to hear witness and love through attention.

Standing here, watching her cook, I understand she has been present all along, through the quiet discipline of feeding a family.

I couldn't see it because I was never in the kitchen. I used to move through this space as a passivity, dismissing the cluttered cosmetics, the ground utensils and the sink that was always full. I saw mess, but she was making meaning. This was where love was prepared.

This kitchen has always been her way of seeing me.

'Suh Jae Jae!'

I love you, too, Mom.

Samurai

FROM A13

Ahar Nishwarya: deepstakes a cunning member of his International Karoda Kanbu (Nisashi bada, the star of Choi) to urge Murashige to capitalize, the rebel leader Shomo, the man in the castle's dungeon. But once a series of betrayals rouble Murashige's fragile kingdom, the rake noda-Kanbu's help in playing an increasingly dangerous game.

Fort Agatha Christie and part Throne of Ahuri – the latter diesn't of by Akira Kurosawa, whose surname the unrelated Kiyoshi has been outrunning his entire career – The Samurai and the Pro-year is as clever as a warrior and sharp as the sword he might carry. Certainly, the narrative relies on extended conversations that some might decide as tally, but then is power as the words that Murashige and Kanbu's volley back and forth – just as often is in the Main cinematic form of Kurosawa's dedication to reimagining feudal lepers. Each chamber of Murashige's hat, and every article of clothing created by his subjects, is just as nice red and unfavorable.

It isn't hard to understand why some audience members left The Samurai and the Prowar feeling disappointed, or even dishoned, after its Cancer-Film-For-treat process. The writing. There is a patience and commitment on display from Kurosawa that requires an equal investment and energy from his audience. But it also isn't that much to fully give in in this untrusively commented world of vengeance and mercy, order and dishonour. Sit down, and embrace the mystery.

1. You are declarer with the West hand at Seven Clubs and North leads the jack of hearts. How would you play the hand?

2. You are declarer with the West hand at Four Spades. North leads the K-2 of diamonds and then the jack, which you ruff.

You play the A-K of trumpi, both opponents following out. How would you continue?

1. Win the heart lead with the king, draw all the missing trumps and cash the A-K of spades, hoping to catch the singleton or doubtless queen. If the queen does not fall, lead the to of diamonds to the ace and return the queen from dummy, planning to discard a spade if South follows low. The overall

chance of success with this line of play is about to 0.

If you were to stake the outcome strictly on either a forever in spades or in diamonds, you would have little more than a 50% chance for the grand dam.

Note that it is far better to play South for the king of diamonds than North. This is because you can overcome health's byproduct and king regardless of how many diamonds he was dealt, while if you imposed successfully against North by overtaking the so of diamonds with the jack, you could not catch his king (by cashing the ace and ruffing a diamond)

if he started with more than three diamonds. With eight diamonds in the opposing hands, the chance of felling the king in this way is significantly against the odds.

2. The only concern in the possibility of losing two club tricks. This can happen if the adverse duits are divided 3-5, so all your thoughts should be concentrated on dealing with a 4-5 or 5-6 club division.

To assure the contract, each the A-K of hearts and their lead a low club to dummy's jack. If South wins with the king, format return a club or yield a

ruff-and-discard. Either way, you're sure to score the rest of the tricks.

If dummy's jack wins the first club trick, you should note return a low club from dummy toward your remaining Q-q-r. If South shows out on the trick, you can play any club from your hand to assure the contract, or after North wins, he is misplaced. If South follows out on the second club lead, you are equally sure of losing no more than one club trick.

Trucking: Manitoba pleased with Alberta's action, minister says

■ FROM A1

These certificates grant trucking companies authority to operate by confirming that they meet minimum safety requirements.

The May collision involving Conquer Transportation prompted Manitoba to publicly call for the creation of a national trucking registry to better share safety data.

Mr. Drescher's statement Thursday said work was under way through the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administration (COTA). The body is governed by representatives of Canada's federal, provincial and territorial governments responsible for transportation and highway safety. It is currently developing a "national database" to door footlocks in data sharing that some carriers currently exploit, the statement said.

A spokesperson for the COTA told The Globe that a timeline for delivery of a carrier data exchange will be established in the fall.

The effort is "something that I've been pushing, and other transportation ministers across the country have been pushing," Mr. Drescher told The Globe.

Manitoba Transportation Minister Lisa Naylor said in a statement to The Globe

that the province was "pleased to hear Alberta has taken action against Conquer Transport and is aligned with our calls for a federal trucking database."

Manitoba authorities told The Globe that motor carrier enforcement officers in the province observed a Conquer Transportation truck using Alberta plates in February, 2020, and determined that the company was operating the same trucks previously registered in Manitoba with a new Alberta-owned safety fitness certificate.

In May, Brandon police said the driver of a Conquer Transportation truck, Bargat Fatwar, had been charged with dangerous driving causing death after colliding with an 1973 of "highway speeds." He was released on fuel and is scheduled to appear in court in the fall.

In his Thursday statement, Mr. Drescher said Alberta authorities are taking "rough enforcement action to improve safety" including issuing 443 penalties and taking 20 unsafe carriers off the roads since October.

Theman of those companies were "chameleon carriers" that changed their names or relocated to avoid scrutiny, the statement said. Mr. Drescher said the province has also prevented 40 chameleon carriers from obtaining operating

authority in the province.

Robert Harper, president of the Alberta Motor Transport Association, said more robust data sharing between jurisdictions – including trucking carriers' assets – is crucial to identifying such carriers.

Mr. Harper said Conquer Transportation's safety record in Alberta prior to the May total accident was among the worst in the province – pushing in the need for more pro-active inspections. Trucking companies' safety records are publicly available in Alberta through their carrier profiles.

"An increase in audits and focus on companies that have poor safety fitness certificate ratings would be invaluable," he said.

Mr. Drescher said the province was also cracking down on driver misclassification, a practice that The Globe's recent investigation found has become increasingly prevalent in trucking. The practice relies to companies falsely treating drivers as self-employed to evade payroll contributions and basic labour protections.

A May inspection Mrs. found that 20 per cent of the 46 truck drivers stopped were suspected of being misclassified, including several temporary foreign workers, the minister's Thursday statement said.

Consulate: Toronto shootings part of trend of international terrorism mingling with local criminals, advocacy group says

■ FROM A1

When asked how much the shooters in the network are being paid, Chief Supt. Matthews said that in some instances they aren't at all, but declined to provide specific answers.

"What I can say, for what these two people are facing, and the potential jail, and how it's going to impact their future, it's not nearly enough," he said.

The office of the two accused, 55-year-old June 03-Mathieu Neal, was arrested Saturday and there is charges including discharging a restricted firearm at a place. He was previously charged in that for failing to comply with a release order and prosecuting cocaine, according to court documents.

The 55-year-old, arrested Wednesday, cannot be named under the South Criminal Justice Act. He faces 27 charges, which include many similar to Mr. Neal's charges and six counts of failing to comply with release orders.

Both men have been charged with a specific provision of the Criminal Code that prohibits attacks on "promises of internationally protected persons" An internationally protected person is a United Nations designation for foreign dignitaries, whom Canada is obliged to provide with enhanced protection.

The allegations against both accused have not been proven in court.

The U.S. consulate said in an e-mailed statement that it appreciates the co-operation between U.S. and Canadian law on the subject to arrest the suspects.

Toronto police had stationed an officer outside the consulate after the March shooting. The surveillance footage shown

at the news conference did not capture the officer on scene, but police said Thursday that officer called a nearby squad car, which pursued the vehicle at specific times than 140 kilometres an hour. The chase was called off because of safety protocol.

Police said the vehicle later was found abandoned near Scarborough, Ont. Investigators used techniques such as boonies analysis and video carousing to identify the two suspects.

No firearms have been recovered, but police previously said a shell casing from a bandage was found at the scene.

Chief Romblee said Toronto police will maintain their presence at the consulate and can working with U.S. authorities to secure the building, but didn't elaborate.

U.S. prosecutors and the FBI have previously linked the March consulate shooting to Mohammad Raqie Faaul, Donovan Al-Saadi, allegedly an Iraqi terrorist with force to learn Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He was arrested in Turkey in May and remains in U.S. custody.

Asked about the indictment of Mr. Al-Saadi and whether there was any connection between him and the accused in the consulate shooting, Chief Supt. Matthews said: "I can't speak to that connection at this point."

Two days before the July consulate at lack, a Jewish-owned bakery was shot in overnight on the area of Fooge Street and N. Clair Avenue West, triggering a police investigation.

Chief Supt. Matthews said that while the investigation hasn't yielded a connection between the accused and that incident, the insular operated was the same as with the consulate shooting.

The former has broad and Jewish Alians, an advocacy group, said in a Thursday news release that the shooting "must be considered within" a concerning trend of international terrorism mingling with local criminals.

"Chief Romblee asks the right question: who is beyond these crimes? The individuals, and entities that commit, direct, and finance these attacks must be identified and brought to justice."

The news release said. In June, police arrested and charged two men accused of shooting at the U.S. consulate in March, rising them to a gun-for-lane net-

work that has allegedly targeted synagogues and businesses.

Police alleged Zara Jabbi and co-accused Shidlam Thavy-Shewart only an 1975 drove to the consulate and shot at the building resulting from choices获得ing the vehicle.

Mr. Jabbi faces six charges in connection with the shooting. He Tracy's Stewart faces six charges, including vehicle theft, illegal firearm possession and discharging a firearm.

The allegations against them have not been tested in court.

At the time, Toronto police alleged the guns-for-lane network was linked to 27 shootings in the city.

SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN DEADLY SNOOTING AT SALSA ON ST. CLAIR, TORONTO POLICE SAY

Arrests have been made in a shooting at a weekend street festival that left two people dead, injured several others and sent thousands running for cover last month; Toronto's Police Chief said Thursday.

Speaking at an unrelated news conference, Police Chief Myron Donklee said the "persons responsible" for the July 11 attack at the Salsa on St. Clair festival have been apprehended.

"I have been advised there have been arrests made in that investigation," he said in a response to a question about the case.

They said the shooting was a "targeted event," and identified the victims as 55-year-old Shaquan Quashie and 55-year-old Cesar Torosato. The two know each other, police said, adding four others were also sent to hospital.

The second day of the festival was cancelled as police continued their investigation. The annual event addresses Latin culture, food and music.

Toronto police deployed additional officers to the Caribbean Carnival parade held last weekend.

The city of Toronto has said it is committed to reviewing its approach and support the creation of a Toronto festivals Association to strengthen public safety at such events.

TORONTO OFFICER FATALLY SNOOTS DRIVER OF ALLEGED STOLEN VEHICLE, SO SAYS

Deniers's police watchdog says a Toronto officer fatally shot the driver of an alleged stolen vehicle early Thursday morning.

The Special Investigations Unit (SIV) says Toronto police were investigating the theft of a vehicle from Toronto and tracked it to Mississauga.

The SIV says the officers arrived at the vehicle's location a little after midnight, and there was a collision between the vehicle and three unmarked police cruisers.

The watchdog agency says one officer fired at least one shot from the road and hit the driver of the vehicle, who died at the scene.

It says three other people in the vehicle were not injured and have been taken into custody. Two other guns were found at the scene.

Rich Kruger to step aside in 2027, move to boardroom

EMMA GRANEY SUNZOR REPORTER CALGARY

Rich Kruger will step down as chief executive officer of Suncor Energy Inc. next year, having engineered a turnaround through which the company's oil sands production and profits surged.

Suncor said Thursday that Mr. Kruger will move to the role of executive vice-chair in April, 2027. He will be replaced by Peter Zebulon, the former CEO of LNG Canada and current executive vice-president of upstream at Calgary-based Suncor.

Mr. Kruger, who was previously CEO of total Imperial Oil Ltd., was faced out of retirement in a key to lead Suncor after the company was targeted in an activist campaign by Elliott Investment Management LP.

Elliott's list of grievances was long. Oil sands production had declined, per-hart/operating expenses were rising, stock was bargaining, and Suncor had the worst safety record in the oil patch. Former CEO Mark Little resigned amid that turmoil in 2022.

The activist investor has been supportive of Mr. Kruger's turnaround strategy, which has helped boost the stock by nearly 50 per cent since he took the helm. On Thursday, Suncor reported several record second-quarter results.

open to selling gold miner to more than one buyer

WALL WASH WOMEN'S REPORTER

Allied Gold Corp. chief executive Peter Marrose is open to a new transaction that would see the company sold in a piecemeal fashion after the Canadian gold miner's $12.50/lion deal with China-based Rim Gold International Co. fell apart last week.

On July 24, Toronto-based Allied called off its plans to be acquired by Rim as Beijing's takeover regulator dragged its feet on approving the transaction.

Mr. Marrose, in an interview with The Globe and Mail on Thursday, indicated that he is open to a new deal that could see the company sold to more than one buyer, and even other comparisons to his earlier experience in selling Yamana Gold Inc.

"My objective is to deliver value," he said. "If delivering value is similar to Yamana, where there was a split of a company, one price going to one company, one going to another, and that delivers the maximum value to our shareholders, then I will always entertain anything that delivers that type of value."

There is a direct cost by 1.1 per cent Thursday on the Toronto Stock Exchange to close at 3.0 in apiece.

Nutrien fears long-term disruption to fertilizer markets from Middle East turmoil

KATE HELMORE KATE/HELMORE AND FOOD POLICY REPORTER

Executive for Saskatchewan-based Nutrien Ltd. are raising concerns over the potential for high prices to dampen demand for fertilizer products, as the months-long bottleneck in the Strait of Hormae disrupts global supplies.

Approximately one-third of the world's fertilizer passes through the critical Middle East trade corridor. The strait is also a key artery for the supply of feedstocks essential to the production of nitrogen and phosphate, including natural gas and sulphur.

Yamana' ability to afford fertilizer has been a growing concern since the war in the Middle East erupted. While fertilizer prices have reached near record highs, prices for major crops including corn, soybean and canola all fell last year, largely owing to trade disputes between China, the United States and Canada.

Nutrien is closely watching how the closing of the Strait of Hormae has "disrupted trade flows and volumes," chief executive officer Ken Neitz said on a call with analysts on Thursday, the morning after the company announced its second-quarter results, citing demand destruction in certain products.

After a strong first quarter, the fertilizer plant fell short of analytical estimates for second-quarter profits, as the Midwest conflict continues to disrupt fertilizer supply chains, driving up production costs and prices.

The World Bank's fertilizer price index rose more than 10 per cent across the first quarter of 2025, the highest level since October, 2025, in large part owing to the disruption in the strait.

Mr. Neitz said there was "no clear conclusion" in sight to resolve the volatile geographical situation affecting both the fertilizer plant and agricultural productivity worldwide.

New York mayor's plan for city-owned grocery stores is a misguided recipe for cheaper food

TONY ELLIER

OPINION

Politicians spend a lot of time promising to make life more affordable, whether in Canada or the United States.

There are, broadly speaking, two ways to do it: The first is by increasing the amount of money in people's pockets. The second is by lowering the price of things.

The mayor of New York, democratic socialist Eshran Mandani, presides over one of the world's most expensive cities. He

was elected on an all-caps. Affordability Agenda, and this week, he took a step forward on one of its signature promises: a plan to lower food prices by opening a network of government-owned grocery stores.

The city intends to create five new supermarkets, where it says that "a core basket of everyday groceries will be 20 per cent cheaper" than at private retailers. That will "cut how lookers manage grocery billboards per cent, about 10/hrs a month, or roughly 1/1/1,000 a year."

The city of 6.0 million is home to more than 1,000 supermarkets, along with these sands of small stores that New Yorkers re-

fer to as bodegas. However, the city says that it has just 1/2 square feet of grocery space per resident, compared with five to 1/2 square feet in the rest of the U.S.

That leaves some neighborhoods with too few shopping options, and the entire city with higher prices.

Mr. Mandani campaigned on addressing a malposition. It's just that his solution should leave you scratching your head.

New York has some of the world's highest residential costs, in part because the city has long made it difficult to build more housing. The story with supermarkets is similar, and arguably worse.

Did Canada just join the AI boom?

Imports of computers, servers and processors amid the AI boom

Percentage changes in sports videos to people, 2023

On a cultural basis, 147 eventually adjusted THIS IS GREAT AND WELL, ASSUMES A NEW YORK'S CANADA, U.S. A500/24 BUREAU

For all the backlash data centres have garnered in Canada over the past year, the reality is relatively little construction activity has happened on the ground, at least compared with the frenzy of new projects south of the border.

But if data centres are a proxy of Canada's wider investment in AI, a shift may be under way.

In June, Canadian imports of computers and peripherals, a category that includes the gain of data centres such as servers and processors, surged 98 per cent from the year before its second high-y-million, Nicholas Canada reported this week.

That still leaves Canada well behind the U.S., where the same category of imported goods began to lift off in x-rays as the AI boom took hold, but in just one month, Canada closed the gap significantly.

The rush by importers in Canada to secure tech equipment follows an uptick in business investment in computers and peripherals equipment in the first quarter, and signals 'the economy is starting to see some benefits' from the AI infrastructure build-out, according to a note written by Stephen Brown, chief North America economist with Capitol Economist. 'This investment doesn't directly boost GDP much because of shortening drag from net trade due to higher imports, but it provides evidence of increased AI-related activity.'

It's not clear which particular projects may be behind the impact using, but in July, Meta Platforms Inc., the tech giant behind Facebook, said it broke ground on a new one-approved data centre north of Edmonton, in first in Canada and Meta's largest facility outside the U.S.

According to Brown, a Vancouver-based company that tracks data-centre projects around the world, and may of zero projects have been announced and yet under construction, though not all are intended for AI use.

Even as some projects move ahead, however, continues to drive centre construction in streaming. Last week, Mississauga's city council loaded a motion to pause data centre development to 'evaluate imports on municipal infrastructure, economic activity, the environment, noise levels, energy and water consumption.'

Restaurant Brands sell second-quarter growth

U.S. Burger King sites performed well, while Canadian Tim Hortons sales gains slowed down

SUSAN KRASNIKIET ROBERTSON RETAILING REPORTER

East-food giant Restaurant Brands International Inc. reported growth in sales and profits in its second quarter, driven by strong performance at its Burger King stores in the U.S. oven in Canadian sales growth slowed considerably at Tim Hortons.

Burger King is busy years into a turnaround plan that has involved hundreds of millions of dollars in investment by the company and its franchisors to remodel restaurants, improve the menu and advertise more aggressively in hopes of changing perceptions of the brand. In recent months, it revamped its signature 'Whopper burger.'

The chain's comparable sales jumped by 64 per cent in the quarter ended June 30, compared with the same period a year ago. Comparable sales is an important metric that tracks sales growth excluding the impact of new restaurant openings.

'The Burger King team and our franchisors have accomplished a tremendous amount, but they'd be the first to tell you we aren't close to finished.' Restaurant Brands executive chair Patrick Doyle said during a conference call on Thursday to discuss the results, noting that many more restaurant locations still need to be updated. 'These are still things that we know can be better on our menu,' he added.

Burger King was the only one of Restaurant Brands' chains to report significant sales growth in the quarter. Over all, the Soviet-to-based company reported comparable sales growth of 2.8 per cent, as sales were flat at Tim

Hortons and Firehouse hubs, and declined by 1.5 per cent at Puressa.

The 0.9 per-cent comparable sales growth at Tim Hortons is Canada represented a significant slowdown compared with the same time last year, when sales grew by 1.6 per cent.

Tim Hortons is a major contributor to the company's earnings, representing roughly 40 per cent of its operating profits.

'While we maintained our leadership positions in coffee, breakfast and baked goods, our calendar didn't drive the growth we've come to expect from Time, and was unable to tap last year's major platform launches,' chief executive officer Jack Kobus said on the call.

Burger King's

comparable sales jumped by 6.8 per cent in the quarter ended June 30, compared with the same period a year ago.

Total revenues for the chain increased, but these were largely tied to higher commodity prices, which pushed up the supply chain sales the company receives from providing coffee, food and other supplies to its franchisors.

'While the recently relaunched cheese melt and bacon melt sandwiches are selling well, other launches did not perform its expectations, Mr. Kobus said. He did not specify which products underperformed, but a major marketing focus for Time in the quarter was a series of new flares of the Globe Tintini flavours, timed to the 1974 World Cup, which included lime (Avocetake (for Brazil), crème brûlée (France) and cappuccino (Italy).

However, Mr. Kobus added that he's optimistic about most recent beverage launches that are driving sales in the current

quarter. For example, the chain's change of martha drinks are a common order in the afternoon — a time of day that is a focus for Tim Hortons to increase its traffic. And the chain has also introduced local events, a version of the trendy 'dirty said' beverage so that add flavored orange and creamy foam (for the palate that deems Coca-Cola not sweet enough).

Restaurant Brands is making progress with rolling out fountain machines to Time locations that enable these types of beverage launches, Mr. Kobus said.

The fast-food industry has been leaning heavily on novel items additives in attract inflation-essay customers who have been cutting back on restaurant spending.

Industry players have also been advertising more promotions and value more than 1,000 or to price-sensitive customers.

Not all of these efforts have been successful. Competitor McDonald's Corp. this week reported sales growth in its second quarter that toward market expectations. McDonald's has been offering more value deals in the U.S. and dropped the price of its value menu in Canada earlier this year.

Restaurant Brands reported its second-quarter revenue grew to 1704.4 billion, up 4.6 per cent compared with the same period a year ago.

Net income attributable to common shareholders more than doubled, to 1.0 per-million or 16.4 a share, compared with 0.6 million or 10 cents a share in the same quarter last year. However, this year's earnings included a swing to more than other operating activities (such as non-recurring projects) compared with a loss related to those activities last year. Excluding that change and other factors, adjusted net income grew to 6.4 per-million or 6.4 a share on a diluted basis, compared with 5.6 per-million or 5.6 cents a share than in the same period last year.

Kardium approved to sell device to treat heart problem

SOPHIA BERTUZZI

Canadian medical device maker Kardium Inc. has received regulatory approval from Health Canada to sell a device that helps treat one of the world's most common heart-rhythm problems.

The device is meant to treat atrial fibrillation, a serious medical condition which causes a fast and uneven heartbeat.

The Health Canada licence is another major step forward for the Vancouver-based company, which received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration last fall to bring the same device to the American market.

Kardium was founded in 2007 with the goal of delivering better treatment for atrial fibrillation, in which irregular rhythm can halt blood flow, leading to blood loss, cardiac and heart failure.

The condition affects almost 60 million people around the world.

'It's a huge problem, and we've developed a much better system for dispensing and treating it,' Karen Chaplin, Kardium's chief executive officer, said in an interview.

Developed in Canada, the company's product is known as a pulsed field ablation device, called the Globe Pulsed Field System.

It is a sphere that is three centimetres in diameter, made up of size galleys, and initially controlled electrodes.

The single-use device is first flattened and inserted into the internal vein, and it then expanded into its spherical shape once it reaches the heart. The device uses an advanced mapping system to detect the electrical signals that are causing irregular rhythms. It then treats these signals by tapping the cells using high-voltage energy - a procedure called ablation.

'Then we remove the device, and the patient gives home the same day,' Mr. Chaplin said. 'We've made the procedure safe, more effective and very fast for the physician to give the patient the treatment.'

Mr. Chaplin said that other pulsed field ablation devices on the market contain fewer electrodes. Kardium's use electrodes provide 'high-velocity mapping to find the electrical signals, and more electrodes for treating the tissue faster and more effectively,' he added.

In 2020, results from a global clinical study showed that 77.8 per cent of its patients were free of atrial fibrillation (a months after being treated with Kardium's technology. Additionally, there were no device-related 'primary safety events,' compared with competitive reporting between 0.7 per cent and a 3 per cent adverse safety event.

Kardium's device has been used commercially on patients in the U.S. The company has also applied for regulatory approval in Europe.

The company has caused more than 150 000 million lives in the U.S. including overweight, weight, and 1,000,000 lives in the United States.

The company has the capacity to make up to 30,000 devices annually. They are each used once, and still for 1,000,000,000 to 5,000,000.

'We've worked with a number of leading Canadian doctors over the years, and it's really exciting to finally be able to start using the device in Canada,' he said.

The company will continue to develop the existing technology through software and hardware, and will potentially develop better medical technologies.

The device is manufactured in Vancouver, and Kardium is planning to expand its facilities.

'We've built a built-in R&D and manufacturing centre here in Vancouver, and we'll continue to drive innovation here,' he said.

WestJet flight attendants win sizable wage increases

Tentative deal would see workers compensated for preboarding work by contract's end

NORTHERN INTERNATIONAL FUTURE OF WORK REPORTER

WestJet flight attendants will see sizable increases to their overall compensation, including revenue, earnings paid to all the unpaid preboarding work they currently do, earning a new standard for the airline industry in Canada.

More than a year, WestJet flight attendants reported to be the Canadian Union of Public Emphasis work on a cost day order last weekend in an attempt to back out a deal with the Calgary-based carrier.

A tentative deal was struck on Monday, and on Thursday, the union released details of that agreement. They include a wage increase of six per cent for all flight attendants over the course of the year. There were 10,000 workers, a retroactive increase from less 1,000. Critically, the deal also includes a new "duty pay premium" or compensation for work that flight attendants do before a place takes off and after it lands. For the first two minutes of December, joint flight attendants will be paid for 100 per cent of "uncredited time," which the union defines as the hours that a film crew currently work but are not compensated for.

The first two months of the report way to move towards full compensation for unpaid work, in phases, moving in the same direction as

Travellers pass driving WestJet flight attendants at Toronto's Pearson International Airport on Sunday. Their union struck a tentative deal with the airline after the work stoppage carrier (CACAC) in 1998.

the compensation for ground pay that Air Canada flight attendants achieved last year," said Steven Tuits, an associate professor of a hour studies at York University who has closely followed the negotiations.

Last summer, Air Canada flight attendants also represented by CUPE won partial compensation for ground pay, which started at 10 per cent of their hourly wage for every hour of work done by two a plane departs, while the next six increments that peak at 70 per cent of their hourly wage, the deal was considered a win by a

hour departs, because it indicated the overhaul of flight attendants' compensation returns by recognizing and rewarding preboarding work.

We Tuits cautioned against compensation for WestJet deal with Air Canada's, however, because the airlines have different pay structures.

WestJet flight attendants got paid through a system known as "credit hours". A credit hour rate is a negotiated hourly rate, and typically an inflated hourly wage that the airline says accounts for the work that flight attendants do

before a plane departs. CUPE has long बहाली that despite the cost it hour system, flight attendants are still inadequate compensation for work done before boarding and after landing. The "duty pay premium" included in the contract attempts to address this gap.

"We initial comparison with the Air Canada deal is that this seems to be a step beyond because, ultimately, WestJet flight attendants will get some compensation to all hours of unpaid work," said Adam King, an assistant professor of labour studies at the University of Manitoba.

The "tentative" agreement, which is a three-year deal, will be voted on by members as early September, according to the union.

On its website, CUPE may, the local representing roughly a per WestJet flight attendants, explain in great detail how a flight attendant's overall salary will improve if the deal is settled. For example, if a junior flight attendant (the lowest salary rang) works a four-day block that includes 10 flight days, the company currently compensated $350.00 if the deal is settled, that amounts would increase to 30,000 per cent, eventually by the total of 2,000.00 $1,000.

This statement is meant for duty pay premiums formula and agreed-upon profit wage increases.

When the tentative deal was reached on Aug. 1, CUPE may penalize this forecast described in an "incidental" statement that ex-wire the flight order currently recognizing more of the work at his crew do. "The union is hopeful that members will vote in favour of the deal."

Air Canada flight attendants rejected the tentative agreement fought for by their union last year, arguing that the negotiated wage increases (100 per cent over four years) did not come from the 1998-2000 period, and did not influence Air Canada's previous agreement was a 10-year deal that began in 1992 and expired in March, 1993.

The company costs an attendant determined the terms of the contract and maintained the proposed wage increases, much to the disappointment of flight attendants and CUPE.

Canadian engineering giant WSP reports revenue growth, defying investor angst around AI

WORLD AND WAR PRACT

Canadian engineering giant WSP Global Inc. directly and in turn reports quality testing, accounting growth and predicted more to come, defying investor angst that artificial intelligence will hide into corporate profits for the sector.

To check shot up 5 per cent, to link 99.9 share to alternative trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Montreal-based company, which has followed through acquisitions and is currently trying to negotiate a multibillion-dollar takeover of Dutch engineering consultancy group Arcadis, on Thursday reported results that local analyst expectations. It should be discussed guidance slightly by the day year.

Net revenue for the quarter ended June at same as it 8.4 million, up 15 per cent over the same period last year, including a 1.9 million share of the fourth from existing operations. All regions performed well, notably Canada and the United States.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization jumped 4.6 per cent over the first million of $1.99 a share, compared with the $1.89 a share, and assets expected. Net earnings were 8.64 million or $1.95 a share, down from the 10.4 billion, on higher acquisition and integration costs among other items.

WSP's key recent projects include the

Purple Line subway extension in Los Angeles—one of the largest and most complex transit infrastructure programs in the US. Overall, its leading oil work located last year by completed reached a record $10.5-billion in the quarter.

"The numbers do the talking," Raymond James analyst Frederic Kautins said in a research note on WSP's performance. "While A5's long-term impact on engineering considerations remains a key investor debate, we believe these results point to improving earnings viability rather than rising risk."

Uncave about the prospects of engineering from to the age of 40 has hung over the industry in recent months, pushing down shares of WSP and Stantec Inc. and others and the industry gains. The four or four AI will be able to cheaply, and easily perform tasks that constitute currently cheap body free for.

The reading is probably much more complicated than that, however. And it stands to far different companies in different ways.

National Bank analyst Maxim Stricker published a report on the issue to dates after a presentation by WSP in Toronto, focused on its technology capabilities. Among his conclusions, WSP won AI 'best and foremost as a revenue opportunity, rather than a cost-taking boost.'

The company is using digital tools to simplify complex processes and shorten

work delivery cycles, enabling it to "do more work with the same experts," Mr. Stricker said. That's "a critical all-outing on a remarkable labour-committed industry."

Mr. Kautins said he believes AI will further widen the gap between big engineering companies with scaled-up operations and smaller rivals. "But WSP's of this world have greater capacity to invest in digital capabilities and productivity enhancing tools," he said in his note.

WSP continues to hunt for acquisitions to increase its operational expertise, confirming late last month that it made a non-binding offer of 40.0% a share in cash and stock for Amsterdam-based Arcadis—taking the engineering and consulting firm at about 8.4 million (about 15 per billion). Arcadis rejected the bid, WSP's second, saying it still undertakes the company.

WSP executives deliver provide any new information Thursday about the takeover effort, said a body that combining the new companies would spend up their growth ambitions. Arcadis began to fund before a hotstalk on a foundation managed by company employees whose support is key to a deal.

"We have approached this dialogue as a constructive and respectful answer for many months and continue to view it as a potential friendly transaction between two great companies," WSP chief executive Alexander I. Heavens said on Thursday.

Second-quarter profits drop for BCE as FIFA World Cup viewing boosts revenue

SAMMY HUBBS

Second audiences for the 2026 FIFA World Cup helped drive Bell Media revenues higher in the latest quarter for its parent company BCE Inc., despite recording a lower profit overall for the three-month period compared with a year ago.

Strong advertiser demand during the recent tournament—the which all 8.4 million and on Bell platforms such as TVA BIN CITY, Novin and Cacer—boosted Bell Media's ad revenue by 4.4 per cent year over year in the second quarter.

The first year operating revenue was up 8.4 per cent to half-million in the quarter, an attractive revenue increased 3.7 per cent. Total subscriptions for streaming platforms (care,娃娃娃, health) 1.1 million, or 25 per cent higher than last year.

"That could, matters because it gives a strong, weekly sales, personal domestic platform for premium content, sports and streaming," anchored on Canadian storytelling and our commitment to cultural sovereignty. BCE president and chief executive officer Walter Bible, said analysts Thursday on the company's earnings call.

He called the World Cup a "major highlight" for the quarter, with BCC's low coverage of games reaching 16.1 million unique viewers in Canada. The investor, who has been a successful highlight on July, is the one the most watched World Cup results over in Canada, with an average audience of 6.4 million viewers.

"Matches also consistently ranked among the most-watched content on Cacer," Mr. Bible said.

"The 2026 FIFA World quarter's total forced the strategic role Bell Media play inside BCE premium content, growing streaming scale and stronger digital monetization."

Total digital revenues grew 1.8 per cent year over year, with higher digital trade in revenue from increased adoption of ad-supported subscription bars on Cacer.

The company said that effort continued softness in traditional advertising demand, lower audio ad revenue after BCE's added 10 million business to 2026, and non-recurrents of ad revenues related to last year's federal election.

In the second quarter, BCC's profit attributable to common shareholders totalled 5.6 million or to costs a diluted share for the quarter ended June 30. That was down from 8.4 million or 9.1 million diluted share for the second quarter of 2026.

Its operating revenues was 16.0 billion, up from 16.0 million a year earlier. The increase came as service revenues higher 8.0 billion, up 4.4 per cent from a year ago, partially effective a 10.0 per cent decline in product revenue to 8.0 million.

BCC's mobile phone average revenue per user was 10.0 per day, down 1.5 per cent from 10.0 a year ago. It said that decrease was owing to the increase in the cost of revenue generated last year from the G7 Leader's Summit, as well as lower connections but related to the Canadian Radio television

and Telecommunications Commission's new rules prohibiting certain customer for it.

The regulatory prohibition on a situation, cancellation and modification fees come into effect later in November, the new regulations have been met with resistance from Bell, about 4.0% Rogers Communications Inc. and Teller Corp., which have each introduced into that the CEFC core credit estate the new ban.

Bell launched a tax-device handling fee in May that applies when customers purchase a device along with their wireless service plan.

BCC had a net gain of at least postpaid mobile phone subscribers in its second quarter, down from 4.4 per cent increases during the same period a year earlier. It said the year over-year decrease reflected a loss active market owing to reduced promotions as well as limited population growth in the 2026.

"The company said customer churn a measure of admodities who cancelled their service—was 100 per cent, an improvement from 100 per cent a year ago," said the company. "Because of the need it by, costs a share in its latest quarter, up from an adjusted growth of 10.0 cents a share in the same quarter last year."

The company said business markets revenue—computed of income from both tobacco and ad services—was 8.0 million—the quarter, down 5.0 per cent from 8.0 million a year ago.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REFUNDS 2000-BILLION IN STRUCK-DOWN TARIFFS

RADIANTON U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has refuted about Citizen-billion from tariffs that it collected before the U.S. Supreme Court of the United States' duties, a court filing showed.

The court filing is due 11.5 Cents of International Trade said that "reliants of future plus increased of approximately 150% of billion have been completed using the Consolidated Administration and Processing of District Federal resources, certified by the agency, and sent to the U.S. Department of Treasury for disinvestment."

The amount is of the end of July was made in Tuesday's filing by U.S. customs officials.

It represented more than half of the US$100 billion collected in tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down in February.

Mr. Trump has made tariffs a central pillar of his foreign and trade policies despite criticism from some analysis and legal settlements.

Critics have complained that the refunds have not reached households but have instead given to corporate importers.

Trump is sending the "splend" to the companies, not sending directly from a single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers' Democratic congressman Greg Coor said this week.

"The Supreme Court ruled against most of Mr. Trump's wisdom on the tariffs on Feb. 30, finding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (EEC) does not authorize the procedure to unilaterally impose tariffs on private importers from trading partners." RECESS

OPINION & ANALYSIS

U.S. consumers are getting hosed by Trump

Many Americans are unlikely to recoup money lost at the till because of the President's illegal duties

BETA TRUSTON OPINION

Pity the American consumer? Our statewide cousins are clapping the price for U.S. President Donald Trump's turned-toms trade policies after all to the point of the 1980s. Donald Trump's tariff a tax on a foreign country? That would enrich the United States.

Is he of people like to say, 'Oh, I'm happy to see 'the tax on.' Mr. Trump said at a Pennsylvania campaign told us it again, 'a tax.'

'It's a tax on a foreign country. It's a tax on a country that is ripping an off and stealing our jobs. And it's a tax that doesn't affect our lives.'

Here's a shocker. The 'Tariff Mail' was wrong.

The Tax Foundation, a think

bank based in Washington, is keeping track of how much Mr. Trump's ever-shifting tariff policies are costing the good of US of taxes.

It estimates that U.S. tariff policy has already been modified more than 20 times during the second presidential term. Even so, the non-profit organization found that U.S. court ordered tariff refunds have effected at least 20 percent since May.

The U.S. government recorded negative customs duty revenue in May and June because total revenues surpassed on federal tariffs. Those losses amounted to 10.6% of 2004 on May and a whopping 1.8% in billion in June, according to the foundation's research.

Recall that back in February, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down tariffs related under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or HEPA, including a 30-percent levy on some Canadian goods.

In doing so, the high court ruled that Mr. Trump overstopped his presidential author by the fundamentally imposing those duties.

Since that time, the U.S. government has been ordered by the

courts to refund those illegal duties. They amounted to an estimated 1500m billion before the Supreme Court ruling, according to the foundation.

Its research, published on Aug. 2, stated that customs refunds totalled roughly 150m billion for May and June, adding that HEPA tariffs comprised much of the non-infrared money.

Reuters separately reported on Thursday that refunds limited to roughly 1.8% on billion at the end of July, citing a new court filing. That amount includes duties plus interest.

The news agency's report, however, did not specify the amount of duties collected by the U.S. government in July, so it is unclear if net customs were to be negative again last month.

Although it appears that more than half of the illegal HEPA tariffs have now been refunded to U.S. importers, most consumers have not gotten their money back, despite being the ones who absorbed the resulting price increases at the cash register or online.

To their credit, some companies, including Garlin Against Humanity, FedEx and UPS, have

promoted to return tariff refunds to consumers.

'If you overpaid for one of our games, click the button below and fill out the form,' Garlin Against Humanity states in an otherwise probably-filled message on its refund site.

'Then, when the Trump Administration gives us our tariff refund, we won't keep it: we'll give us to off the money back to you, we keep consumers, who actually make our business possible.'

Next U.S. businesses, though, have not compromised customers for price increases. That, in turn, has given me to a floppy refund. May I also action lawsuits and the law.

That brings us back to the Tax Foundation's analysis, which correctly points out that 'refunds will in little to reverse the damage imposed by the Trump administration's tariffs.'

In addition to aggrieved consumers, the thick tank notes that tariff uncertainty hinders business investment, either hiring and intercurately complying to pricing decisions for companies.

'The economic damage from a church tariff register can outweigh the revenue itself, and un-

like the tariffs, it cannot be refunded,' it states.

The foundation, which both monitors and forecasts the economic repercussions of Mr. Trump's evolving trade policies, also argues that both imposed and imposing tariffs amount to a tax hit on consumers.

As of July 24, it estimates the average tax increase for every U.S. household in 1.9% on the 2020. That amount includes the 10-percent impact of the threatened lecture per tariffs on Canadian alcohols, beverages, hockey sticks and other products, starting Aug. 10.

In 2020, however, Mr. Trump's 1.8% amounted to an average tax increase of 10.6% on a household, the foundation said.

Back in March, it warned that Mr. Trump's tariffs ruled out—a very bad tax, only contained in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, disproportionately affecting lower- and middle-income people.

Imagine that Mr. Trump has long claimed that tariffs would have cost U.S. economic power. It was supposed to be a global flux, that is predicted, therefore, a consumer can footing the bill instead.

Keller: If Mamdani embraces a grocery abundance agenda, it would make a difference

9 FRIDAY 21

Much of the city is zoned to exclude the thing other than small supermarkets. The municipal government has also rebuffed all attempts by Walmart, the country's largest retailer, to open a New York area.

The average New York grocery is just 10,000 square feet, according to the city, while the average size of the two sites chosen is far for government-owned stores is smaller. The average American grocery store is owned at 2,000 square feet, according to the local industry Association.

City interests are being a difficult to build full-sized supermarkets, plus city politics. Marking one of the densest grocery discounts, is a major for less competition and higher prices, empowered by government policy.

That's why Mr. Mamdani's answer makes no sense.

How will Mamdani Start sell groceries for 30 per cent cheaper? Through a tax-payer subsidy.

The city-owned stores will pay no rent and no property taxes, with taxpayers providing whatever additional subsidy is necessary to open goods at 30 per cent below market prices.

That's it. There's no other magic. It's a lot of offs and in going for it in the rest of the city, the government store will sell it for 10 per cent, with taxpayers bridging the gap. Will that make it read more affordable in New York? Yes, for the small number of shoppers able to reach the head of the line at one of the five tiny stores.

It had the most efficient and least costly way of making bread more affordable, particularly for those with the lowest income (Olivoway) set.

You'll think that the left—which is never more curious than when nothing mantras of opiumic that and someone that—would be more valuable in a class of 10 items, issues driving up the cost of groceries in America's largest city, hygienically set.

If Mr. Mamdani embraced a grocery

abundance, which, and made it easy to build new large grocery stores (even, page a Walmart), that would lower prices and raise grocery availability, at no cost to taxpayers.

At the same time, government could give more money directly to low-income residents.

Make groceries more affordable to all, through a more competitive and efficient marketplace, where everyone's dollar goes

to market, at no cost to taxpayers, and make groceries more affordable for those least able to afford them, by putting more money into their pockets.

Instead, Mr. Mamdani said this week that there would be no means testing at his grocery stores.

It adds up to this. A city of nearly nine million people, whose residents face the real problem of a very high cost of living, will aim to address that by opening five

piercedal supermarkets offering deeply discounted food that is heavily subsidized by taxpayers, on a first come, first-served basis.

Again, there is a real problem to be solved here. It's just that the proposed solution ignores the deepest costs of the problem, quickly money on symptoms rather than causes, and will almost certainly fail to help most of those who need help.

Trump's big-government, interventionist AI policy is the one thing he's done right

CHRIS CAY

OPINION

Contributing columnist for The Globe and Mail in a Internet Mail Street Journal (IOM) and writer for: Massachusetts geos at Center.

We will this family, let's give the public Trump credit for one of the most important American Republicans Party a considerable distance from its much-disturbed (i largely hollow small-government "principle") There may be no clearer example than law, and for party's eagerness or party's own, the guardrails around artificial intelligence.

Not a moment too soon. The demand AI models have shown a disturbing inclination to escape the potential movements of a hack into other systems independently of their creation. In April, Anthropic's Claude Mythovs sculpted its "handball"—an isolated texting environment supposedly unconnected to the world's history—is mailed a company researcher.

Last month, two (2) grand, 1st ed. co. was recently released and the

other still under evaluation, halted into the systems of that gang face, an AI model hosting platform, and then a customer of cloud provider Model Labs. More incidents followed.

The U.S. President signed an executive order on June 2, asking technology companies to voluntarily give the government a look at AI models before releasing them to the public. That action reversed the hand-off approach for Trump without a clear earlier, when he cancelled the agenda of an order that would have allowed the government to review new models. On Tuesday, the administration example "upon weight" models from the order 2 order, these anyone can download.

The first order, he said at the time, "gets in the way of— you know, we're loading them, we're loading everybody, and I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that track."

A little ideological perspective is in order here, but it supposed to be those instilling, namby-punity (female who want to say about everything), pick witness and keep a big Government jail-host on the private network (IOM) that happened to the

striped lunadime such as "regulation will impede efficiency, cost jobs and put the economy on the slippery slope in some planning"—the sort of thing you hear when government wants to constrain, for example, systemually侵害 financial institutions.

Of course, ten of folks who cooplay an small-government conservatives don't really mean it, they simply know what sort of language the donor has. The islands where the mission is to perform amounts to cheap费用 (and reaguably aimed at efficient government) and thillating the cost of people who think into. Rand is the last word in economics philosophy. A favourite class of people, who have been in quest's demand that government be condoned small enough to do down it in a faithful.

But it's easy to see government interventions that are unsound (feminist) as would be up in arms about trying to obviate—lives that keep pornography out of the public square, illegal drugs off street corners, or any public good. (Next time you don't see it when you're just a they'd like to liberate the crack cocaine and child pornographic markets from the oppressive

hand of Big Government.) Unrefined to anything or certified principle, Mr. Trump has no qualms about indulging what Republicans used to constitute a "militant industrial policy." You may recall this jared from 2020: The great America's companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA.

Read that again: "hereby or about!"

Since January 2019, the U.S. government has acquired a black-worth for 6 billion in at least 2 companies, among them Intel Corp., a strong public, C3 and Nippon Dual Corp. As the Insurance Care Institute (IOM) noted, congressional Republicans "would be learning at the same time that they might make a Democratic Administration."

So more, Republicans generally know AI regulators. The law (with Cardiac Insurer Law) says Graham, a prominent Republican and A-State Trump leader, wanted a national standard for regulating AI, as opposed to the state-level regulations now emerging. He was right: Dividing

authority over a borderline technology among 20 states would mean those and regulatory arbitrage (Canada, of course, has a similar challenge.)

Mr. Trump is a creature of mood and impulse, and he may have influence ulterior motives for the state's order. But it is actually prudent: AI does pose unprecedented and unfavorable risks—broadly known as the "degenerative problem"—that it would be unlikely to have to self-interested private people.

The order quite reasonably noted potential AI threats to national security and to children. It wants Congress to establish conditions, make federal law, and make it necessary to establish a safe, safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe, and a safe,

Fundamentals who condemn government but fear AI might want to reconsider what they wish for. They might also stop to appreciate the luxury of knowing they'll never have to live in the world they propose.

South Bow says it is on track for pipeline decision

Proposed project would ship oil sands crude to Canada-U.S. border, American destinations

DANIEL JOHNSON

South Bow Corp. says it is on track to make a final investment decision on its Prairie Connector project by mid next year after it secured shipper commitment.

The proposed project would ship oil sands crude to the Casa- da-U.S. border and onto U.S. des- timations, serving a similar pur- pose in the previously listed Keystone XL expansion.

"Achieving commercial suc- cess has enabled us to move into

the next phase of development as we advance the work required to support a final investment deci- sion, which we are targeting for mid-2021," South Bow chief execu- tive Kevin Winthe said on the company's second-quarter earn- ingo call.

"Over the coming months, we will focus on stakeholder engage- ment, execution planning, cost refinement, financing and excess- ing the permit durability needed to support that decision, as we've said previously permit durability remains a key requirement for South Bow."

The proposed Prairie Connec- tor project could use demand pipe previously intended to be used in the defunct Keystone XL expansion project, which was scuttled amid intrinsic environ-

mental and political opposition several years ago. Keystone XL was pursued by XL Energy Corp., which spun off its oil pipeline business to form South Bow in 2024.

U.S. President Donald Trump has granted a permit to a separate proposal by Bridges Pipeline LLC baking Wyoming to the Canada- U.S. border. That pipeline could link up with Prairie Connector.

South Bow also announced the outcome of a previously an- nounced "open season" - a for- mal process to solicit bids from potential customers - for the Prairie Connector proposal. The company said it secured private commitments from nine contin- ers, totalling 485,000 barrels a day.

Mr. Winthe said the results of

the open season were a signifi- cant milestone for the company.

"This demonstrates the value of our corridor, the strength of our market position, and the com- tinued need for additional opera- tion with to support growing West- ern Canadian crude oil produc- tion and deliver significant long- term economic benefits," he said.

South Bow's second-quarter results come amid volatile oil prices as the global energy mar- ket continues to navigate the war in the Middle East.

"Performance on the U.S. Gulf Coast segment of the Keystone pipeline system was particularly strong, as disruptions to global crude oil trade drive increased demand for connectivity to orli- ning and export markets," said Richard Price, South Bow's chief

operating officer.

The company had average throughput of 485,000 barrels a day on its Keystone pipeline dur- ing its second quarter and 800,000 barrels a day on the U.S. Gulf Coast segment of the Key- tone system.

South Bow reported net in- come of US$154 million in the quarter, up from US$91 million during the same period a year earlier.

The Calgary-based pipeline op- erator says its earnings amounted to 94.1% cents a share in the quar- ter-sniding base, 20, up from 49.1% cents last year.

Keystone during the quarter re- ached US$149 million, up from US$94 million a year earlier.

Canadian Natural Resources chief says MOU could hold key to oil sands plan

EMMA GRAMY

FINDEST REPORTER

CANADA

Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.'s planned 10-15 billion expen- sions of its Jackpins oil sands pro- ject to northern Alberta may be back on the table pending policy agreements with the provincial and federal governments, the company's president said.

Calgary-based CNRL deferred the project in March. At the time, company president Scott Stauth attributed the decision to the lack of final "government regula- tory policies around carbon pre- ing and methane, which creates uncertainty and economic bur- dun for our long-term growth."

But a recent memorandum of understanding between Alberta, Ottawa and Ave oil companies - including CNRL - has changed the outlook for the project, along with serious issues facing eyebrow the company.

The MOU "presents a great op- portunity for all oil sands players,

In March, CNRL deferred expansion of its Jackpins oil sands project to northern Alberta. CARRY PAJOSCI634/THE CANADIAN PRESS

including Canadian Natural, and certainly a very significant op- portunity for Alberta and all of Canada," Mr. Stauth told analysts on a Thursday morning earnings call.

The July 2 dual pushed forward a massive carbon capture project

in the province's north. It also set a Nov. 15 deadline for the govern- ments to come to definitive agreements with oil companies on policies that aim to boost crude production.

Mr. Stauth said in an interview should there be a successful

agreement, CNRL will take an- other look at Jackpins, the ex- pansion of its Jacklids and lhos- son operations and a new green- field project called Pike 2.

However, he said, the agree- ments must provide oil compu- nos with the assurance that all of the objectives outlined in the MOU will be met.

Three goals include expand- ing global market access for Can- adian oil, reducing emissions streamlining regulatory frame- works and developing fiscal pol- icy "to enable sustained and sub- stantial oil sands development and production growth."

"All of it has to come togeth- er," Mr. Stauth said. "There isn't one particular piece of it that needs to happen in terms of pro- cepts to the other. They're all im- portant."

Mr. Stauth stressed that pro- jects will remain on hold until an agreement is reached, and even there will only proceed if they will generate strong returns.

"Our shareholder returns will not be sacrificed," he told analy-

sis, adding that CNRL would not weigh long-term developments over medium-term uses if they press too hard on capital.

The chief executives at Suncor Energy Inc. and Converse Energy Inc. have also said that the MOU will not change their approach to capital spending.

The Jackpins project would in- crease CNRL's bitumen produc- tion by 195,000 barrels a day, and the expansions of Jacklids and lhosson would boost barrels by roughly 20,000 and 30,000 barrels a day respectively. Pike 2, a new facility slated for Lae La Biche County, Alta., is designed to deliver 70,000 barrels a day.

On Tuesday, CNRL reported the highest quarterly oil sands mining production in its history, which averaged roughly 615,000 barrels a day April through June. It also increased its production guidance for the second time this year.

The quarterly net earnings were $4.5 billion, compared with $1.2 billion in the first three months of the year.

16 REPORT ON BUSINESS

Suncor: Company aims to increase free cash flow to $2-billion by 2028

© FRIDAY 81

In a statement Thursday, Elliott praised Mr. Kruger's efforts, saying he brought about 'profound transferisation' at the company. It also said Mr. Zehnder's operational experience makes him the best of his work.

Mimmo Hubbell, managing director of equity research at EII Cowen, said the differences between today's Suncor and how much should in zoos are 'night and day'.

'There's a massive improvement in the underlying fundamentals of the performance of the business,' said it is 'running at a level that we're never seen.' Mr. Hubbell said.

Suncor had a record-breaking year of production in zoos, both of this year, it achieved a sense of help there year goals in only two, and has now an even higher targets. By zoos, the company aims to increase free cash flow by $2-billion, reduce the breakdown cost of a barrel by 15kly to 15kph, and boost the capacity of its refining network by 10 per cent to 20,000 barrels a day.

Mr. Hubbell credited Mr. Kruger with stepping various redundancies and unnecessary layers from the company and making a roll of changes to drive higher profits from every barrel.

Outgoing Suncor Energy president and CEO Rob Kruger was hired out of retirement to lead Suncor in 2023. PATRICK DONZYTHE CANADIAN PRESS

'They're done a much better job of not having margin on the table,' he said. 'Under the prime leadership, there was a lot of that – a lot of financial leakage,' I would call it.'

The culture at Suncor is also markedly different since Mr. Kruger took the hides, with more direct accountability within the company and executive-level heads strength 'at a level that has never existed.' Mr. Hubbell said.

Martha Hall Findlay, who was Suncor's chief sustainability

officer under former CEO Mr. Little, said Mr. Kruger's career brought a new level of immunity to the company.

'Rich has been – and still – obviously – a tough and pretty demanding CEO,' she said in an interview.

'These were some people who really loved the culture at Suncor earlier. It was more relaxed. I don't think you would say Rob Kruger is a relaxed kind of a guy, but I don't think anybody can argue with the actual business needs that Rob has been able to

achieve with Suncor.'

A sometimes-blasted Minnesota, Mr. Kruger ruffled political leaders in August, 2023, barely five months into his new job, when he said on an earnings call that the Suncor of old placed a 'disproportionate emphasis on the longer-term energy transition.' The parliamentary natural resources committee funded them to Ottawa to explain his remarks.

But he also has a production to using analogue and sparing movies during earnings calls. Just this week he evoked the story of Noah's Ark from the Book of Genesis to illustrate extreme aims to feed McMurray, also, and he once compared Suncor's results to earnings.

'Think back to that old campus but you want to no surprise it. They cannot hear and, if it was a 'high-class' color, roadie's some sleepy words of a little, they are during a zoos business update,' there I'll come back to today. While others serve best, Suncor's serving and cocktails. If our customers want synthetic soot, we get it. Synthetic sweets' coming right up to 2,000, but I would like it in ITT near! Enjoy! You get the profit.'

Mr. Hubbell with EII Cowen put it this way. 'He brings an energy to the business that you don't see very often, and I think

he's very good at communication very complicated things in ways that are not only relatively easy to understand, but also interesting to hear.'

Mr. Zehnder will move from his current role to president and chief financial officer Iyer, a 18 replicate show. CEO Roy Little, Suncor said Thursday that Mr. Little—who was on this week's earnings call—was no longer with the company. No reason was given for his departure.

While Mr. Zehnder will have 'very big shots to EII' as Suncor's new CEO, Mr. Hubbell said, he's a perfect fit for the role given his deep operational background across various types of food and food products.

Mr. Hall Findlay said she's 'a big fan' of Mr. Zehnder, calling his promotion 'a great movie for the company.'

The 2023 International Thursday that Adam Alshaker, the company's chief human resources officer and senior vice-president of external affairs, will take over from Mr. Zehnder. Shelley Powell, currently senior director of the company, has been a prominent and support services, will become executive vice-president of development and projects.

Five prices for North American farmers will be around 5,000 cent above previous levels through 2007, according to a report from North Dakota State University, with prices expected to remain 15 per cent above previous levels into spring peak.

With second quarter, Nutriner reported a 2 per cent decline in net sales for nitrogen products owing to low volumes. A significant hike in production costs for phosphate and other sources of percent increase in adjusted EBITDA for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the phosphate division. Potash net sales climbed 5 per cent and reached over $4-billion, but fell short of the 24 per cent growth seen in the first quarter of 2023.

The Midwest war has resulted in substantial damage to fertilizer production facilities – in the region, as well as in natural gas facilities that report CIO, for the purpose of nitrogen production. None of the front of thornes opened immediately, the effects

on the supply chain would take time to resolve, Mr. Ivett said.

'We are looking to potentially long-term disruption as we can make damage to infrastructure,' he said.

Compared with global competition, Nutriner is somewhat immune to the strongest supply chain.

The company's legacy fertilizer product—potash—is mined from a vast reserves in Saskatchewan's Prairie Evaporite Formation.

Nutriner's in North American nitrogen plants source natural gas largely from Canada and the U.S. The company's legacy fertilizer product—potash—is mined from vast reserves in Saskatchewan's Prairie Evaporite formation.

But while the supply chain for potash is unaffected by disruptions in the stock, it is still exposed to geopolitical tensions. Because the fertilizer is not as essential to crop development in a nitrogen, there is a risk that

farmers might buy less potash in order to afford the most crucial nutrient. The price of potash has also climbed, according to the World Bank, potash prices rose by more than 5 per cent in the first quarter and nearly 17 per cent year-over-year amid sustained demand.

On the investor call, Chris Reynolds, executive vice president of global sales at Nutriner, said potash remains a stable part of the business, and that demand continues to grow in international markets as major buyers such as China are 'prioritizing security of supply'.

'We are feeling good about demand for potash for the business of the year. It is still the most affordable nutrient out there, and we're seeing that in major markets,' he said.

Nutriner has a great first quarter of the year, with a 10 per cent hike in sales compared with the same period in zoos.

The company reported adjusted earnings of US$1.6 in a share for the second quarter, moving another estimate of US$1.7, according to CIO's data.

Nutriner shares fell from $4.4 or at market close on Wednesday to $19.5 at market close Thursday.

Allied: CIO says company's attractiveness has gone up in earnings call

© FRIDAY 81

In January, Allied agreed to be acquired by Zijin for $4.4 a share, which at the time represented a record high for the stock.

At the buyout was cancelled last week, Allied shares reordered by 10% per cent.

Instead of moving ahead on a full-scale acquisition of the Canadian miner, Zijin instead agreed to acquire a 50 percent holding in Allied at a much lower per share price. The Chinese company agreed to pay $2.25 a share for a stake worth $4.27 million.

Before running Allied Gold, Mr. Marrowe was a founder of Tohama and the company's executive chairman. In 2023, he

agreed to sell Tohama as a non-pronged transaction to Agincataghi Mines Ltd and free American Silver Corp. after an earlier proposed deal with South African Gold Fields Ltd. ran into trouble.

Allied remains gold mines in Mali and Ivory Coast and produced more than 25,000 tonnes in the second quarter. The company is starting up a new mine in Ethiopia called Karmuk next month, and it has a major expansion planned at its Sadoda operation in Mali.

In a conference call on Thursday, after the release of the company's major production earnings, Mr. Marrowe and the company's attractiveness has gone

up considerably compared with when it announced the now-diluted takeover deal with Zijin.

'Today, many months later, we're more advanced and a new one.

'We have delivered on our plans that improve the company and increase that value. I'm comfortable saying to everyone on this call that we present a unique and strong value proposition.'

While Mr. Marrowe is extremely bullish on Allied's prospects, he is critical of many analyses, as well as some investors are assigning too low a valuation to the company's shares.

He said much of that is based on their 'fair' basis of painting all operation in Mali with the same risky geopolitical brush, regardless of the quality of the asset, or a 'sineware' individual trash stored in the West African country.

While some Canadian companies operating in Mali, including Barrick Mining Corp., have encountered serious setbacks resulting in production being allied for long stretches at a time. Allied's Sadoda mine has operated for more than 10 years without interruption. Mr. Marrowe said, 'The implication is that to find a brand is poorly discount the value of the asset based on a perceived risk, but not a real one if we look at the continuity of operations in the country,' he said.

Mr. Marrowe maintains that smart investors are through the market.

'It represents a true value proposition for a discerning process who says 5 per $. This is a overproduction. This is not a failed state. This is not a country that is in collapse.' You cannot run a business if that were the case. And we're all running high-quality businesses.'

Why many CEOs are getting a chief of staff

Since early 2020, postings for the role have increased 85%, according to Indeed

JOSEPH WOLMAN

When Richard Gelfond, the chief executive of Imax, found his first chief of staff, he warehousing for a shadow, someone who could take more during meetings and let him know what was up now.

But over time, as Imax grew more complex - expanding from its features to almost 1,000 across more than 100 countries - the chief of staff grew its nature. "They're really invaluable in helping me think through what I want to say and what I want to accomplish and then how to execute it and helping me execute it," Mr. Gelfond said. Raphael Bowlin, who was Mr. Gelfond's chief of staff until June, 2020, recently worked on a high-profile project, co-ordinating their research and development to build the special camera used in Chesapeake before summer hit, the Orkney.

Mr. Gelfond has had a chief of staff for 10 years, but the position is becoming increasingly trendy among his peers. Since early 2020, postings for the role have increased 85 per cent, according to Indeed, the job-posting site. That's a factor dip than for executive assistants and secretaries, whose jobs are also tied to helping business leaders manage their day.

Unlike executive assistants, the chief of staff is often a senior level role, according to data from Indeed, because they serve as a second team for the busy boss.

An executive assistant "figures out what time something goes on the calendar, but a chief of staff figures out whether it should go on the calendar at all," said Clara Ma, founder and CEO of Ask a Chief of Staff, a networking platform that brings together chiefs of staff across various industries. According to a survey she conducted, the position pays $50,000 to more than $200,000 a year, depending on experience.

Executive search firms like Russell Reynolds Associates are fielding more requests from companies to help recruit chiefs of staff. And companies aren't looking to the client, just for how. Lower level executives, such as vice-presidents within marketing, communications and finance departments, are getting

them as well.

In a dozen interviews conducted for this article, CEOs, consultants and chiefs of staff pointed to the increasing complexities of running absenteeism in the urban where artificial intelligence and geopolitics threaten to spread business models. Enter the chief of staff, who can be the "orchestrator" who ensures that leaders in the company are working together with said Catherine Breault, formerly the chief of staff to Naliboly Hobson, a co-CEO of Andri-voumont.

"When you think of these big issues that organizations have today - AI, cybersecurity, customer success, growth - it's hard to be like, 'this is just your thing,'" said Ms. Breault, who runs Prime Executive Office, a firm that places executive office leaders, including chiefs of staff. CEOs, she said, "need somebody to make sure that that's co-ordinated and successful and not a nightmare."

A chief of staff's tasks can vary widely, depending on what the boss wants or what a business model takes have since (reports, others don't).

The comment thread is that the chief of staff has a single constituent: the boss.

The most famous chiefs of staff worked in the White House, as gatekeepers to the president and power players in their own right. But corporate America is catching on. Valerie Jarrett, now the chief executive of the Obama Foundation, was the long-answering senior adviser in the White House

and had chiefs of staff in both politics and the private sector. And she herself was a deputy chief of staff to Richard W. Doley when he was Chicago's mayor. From the executive's point of view, Ms. Jarrett said, a chief of staff is someone who has no idea or departmental responsibilities, but whose "job is me."

After winning over the boss, the chief of staff has to gain the respect of other executives. He or she makes sure different business units (and their leaders) are communicating well with one another and completing the company-wide tasks that the CEO wants done. Leaders turn to their chief of staff for a neutral perspective when weighing differences of opinion.

Many people seek out the job when they're looking for a springboard to a more senior or managerial role. One chief of staff at IBM interviewed for this article decided

to skip business school in favour of the job. Others had a decade of professional experience. The role offers exposure across an organization - a built-in networking opportunity.

Vikram Arumilli worked at McKinney and Co. and attended Wharton business school before becoming the chief of staff for Mr. Gelfond in 2019. He served until 2020 during a time of upheaval for the movie theatre industry.

Mr. Gelfond, who generally changes chiefs of staff every two years, got Mr. Arumilli on a COVID-19 and have a long-standing head of human resources and the chief financial officer. Mr. Arumilli also spent time in India researching how Imax could grow its province there and helped the company acquire a software business.

Mr. Arumilli went on to become a general manager of Imax's streaming and consumer technology division. This summer, he accepted the CEO role at a software company based in New Zealand.

Other former chiefs of staff interviewed for this article have gone on to become vice-president of Internet and operations at Yahoo Search and president of Thrive Global, Arizona. Nalibognes's health and wellness company.

Not all executives are wild on the idea of having a chief of staff.

"I've always thought of the role as a kind of gatekeeper, someone who sits between an executive and everyone else," said Spencer Rancoff, CEO of Match Group, which owns the dating apps Tinder and Hinge. "That's not my style. I don't want anyone between me and my teams."

He turns to AI agents to help him organize his day and accomplish tasks that chiefs of staff sometimes do, such as preparing for meetings. That said, he understands the appeal of having an additional adviser by one's side.

"I think there's a difference between AI helping someone do their job better and AI replacing the judgment and relationship building that a good leader, or a good chief of staff, actually provides," Mr. Rancoff conceded.

Mr. Gelfond said he hadn't given much thought to how AI might change the role for him. His chiefs of staff are more adept at AI than he is and help give him ideas on how it can be used within the organization.

"Maybe they'll teach me enough to replace themselves," Mr. Gelfond said, "but they haven't done that yet."

Canada's affordability crisis and who it leaves behind

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Pathways to Education

FREE VIRTUAL EVENT

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 | 12:00 P.M. - 1:00 P.M. ET

Canada's affordability crisis, driven by rising housing, food, transportation and education costs, is reshaping access to opportunity. Its impact is increasingly visible among high school students in low-income communities, where financial strain limits access to academic supports, mentorship and basic learning resources. As more students take on work to support their families, their ability to fully engage in school is diminished. Without reliable support systems in place, graduating and planning for post-secondary education or careers becomes less certain, widening existing gaps and challenging the promise of upward mobility.

Join The Globe and Mail for an event on how Canada's affordability crisis is reshaping opportunity and who it is leaving behind. Experts will explore what's changed, how rising costs are widening inequality and consider the role of institutions and leaders in building more equitable pathways to future success.

The math behind being a working mother

Long-term financial repercussions of taking years off work must be taken into account

ERICA ALINI

OPINION

Yoursmight have found of the kind of kitchen-table math A new parent (anyly mom) would make barely enough for any for child care if they were back to work, therefore they should just stay at home. Always found this reasoning odd.

To be clear for many people, the decision to stay at home with young children is about much more than financial factors. And I have seen issues with whatever parents believe is best for them and their families.

But if the deciding factor is the math, then let's do the math properly, deep into it.

That is something then account the long-term financial repercussions of taking years off work. And new research by a mix of Canadian and American economists, which were wild evidence for what I and many others have long suspected. These

GETTY PANEL

repercussions are significant. The study finds that Quebec's subsidized child care programs led to mothers both working more and earning more for females, long after their kids aged out of the system. Although the research is focused on public policy, there is a clear personal influence takeaway there.

I studied out to form Milligan, one of the authors of the study and a professor of economics at the University of British Columbia. Here's our interview, al- and for flow and length.

Your research finds that Quebec's child care program boosted both

employment and earnings for mothers through several decades - that's compared with what?

The comparison is to imagine a world where the program wasn't in place. How much more an Quebec mothers working and earning? We suggest that child care might be putting working mothers on a different trajectory than they would have been in the absence of the program.

You found that affordable child care resulted in mothers working more well beyond the years when their kids were in care. Here's

how way to think about that is the skills you might learn in the workplace.

If you're out for a short maternity time, you come back things are pretty much the same. But if you're out for this time or to be your own - just think of something contemporary here - you come back and all of a sudden your effus is full of people running Claude Code and有关规定. Again doing stuff. You're like, 'What the hell is this? This wasn't here four years ago.'

You feel like the job market has moved on from you, and the skills you had have deprecated. That might lead you to stay out of the labour market more.

What about women's time might child care boost mothers' earnings for decades after their kids were in care?

With the continuity of work experience that is made affordable by the child care programs, mothers are able to have that better lifetime career trajectory.

As our study, that rates to pay off for women in their age by 10m, we find that women are working in more responsible jobs for example, they're more likely to be a manager and they are earning more per hour.

What's interesting is the effect

accelerates over time. By the time mothers are in their job, it leads to a fairly substantial increase in earnings.

How much more did Quebec mothers work and earn thanks to the child care program, according to your research?

For women at age 35, we calculate a roughly 10 percentage point boost in employment.

We found a 10-per cent increase in earnings for women at age 35, which is really kind of big, about half of that in the fact that most mothers are working, so there's fewer people with zero earnings - that's more common from the benefits of having used in the work force, gained experience and kept skills up to date.

What do these findings mean for parents weighing whether to stay out of the work force for a few years?

What we can contribute is to say these are some abilities on the table them, and that's what you have to consider. The open question is whether people see those abilities.

But we can say, yes, there are lifetime, higher earnings available for most women.

THE GLOBAL AND MAG, SOMEGA ASTRALIA CA, ENDO AS OF JULY 6

The Canadian economy posted stronger than expected growth in May. Statistics Canada data showed last week, reinforcing expectations that the Bank of Canada will hold interest rates at its September meeting. Any changes in the Bank of Canada's policy interest rate - which has been at 2.5 per cent for almost nine months - would result in changes to variable-rate mortgages.

May's growth puts the economy on track for annualized growth above 1 per cent for annual quarter. a welcome rebound after two back to back quarters of negative annualized growth, or what's known as a 'technical recession'.

However, a new wave of U.S. tariffs - set to take effect Aug. 10 - and broader trade uncertainty would temper the growth in the latter half of the year, complicating the Bank of Canada's path-forward.

Most traders are expecting a quarter-point rate, hdu by the end of this year, according to Bloomberg data.

This week, Canadian government bond yields fell across the curve along with oil at talks to require the Strat of Hormuz resumes, easing fears of geopolitical and inflation risk.

In a late July note, Abbey Tax, an economist at Royal Bank of Canada, said the path for localities inflation remains highly sensitive to unpredictable global-dividing pressures.

On Thursday, the Canadian five-year yield - the benchmark for fixed-rate mortgages - settled at 2.5 per cent.

Markets are split on whether the U.S. Federal Reserve will take care of its Sept. in meeting, which would have a direct effect on Canadian bond yields and financial conditions.

In a July 31 note, Jerry Wernfeld, chief economist at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Capital Markets, said that if energy prices continue to climb, keeping inflation expectations under wraps would likely mean the full would need to meet market expectations for a couple of days.

That war-related pressures on inflation could result if sharply if things go right in the Persian Gulf, giving the full some further breathing room for 'worlds for thinking.' TOPRA REPLIES

Canada's exit tax is not an extra tax

MARK McGRATH

OPINION

Founder of Physician, a two-for-service financial planning firm focused on physicians based in Squamish, B.C.

There's no such thing as an exit tax in Canada - at least, not in the way most people think of it.

The term 'exit tax' makes it more like an outfrowth at the border - partially you pay for leaving, had because of that, many believe the government is somehow holding their money heritage unless they decide to stay. But that's not how it works.

The company's on 'departure tax,' or's officially called - to put a deemed disposition. When someone becomes a non-resident of Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) treats them as if they sold certain assets at fair market value on the day they became a non-resident and then immediately bought them back at the same price. No sale needs to happen and no money needs to be paid. The account taxable capital gain on those assets is taxed as if they were sold, whether or not they actually were.

Essentially, it's a capital gains tax that would have been owed eventually even if the person stayed in Canada, just pulled forward to their departure date. And so there are several exemptions it misses most emigrants entirely.

CENMY ASSETS

Most of Canadians' wealth is held in real estate and in registered accounts, such as RRPA, RRPA and pension plans. All of these are no longer from the departure date, as of 2023, Statistics Canada's Survey of Financial Security reported that assets held by Canadian families totalled 10.2 million and more than 75 per cent of those assets were completely exempt from the departure tax.

Canadian real estate and registered accounts are exempt because Canada can tax them later. A Canadian social property purchased when it's eventually sold, it's not going anywhere. Foreign real estate is different because it's not beyond Canada's much more. The person is gone, so a person's departure is the CRA's last real chance to collect on it.

Once you're living in another country, the CRA has limited ability to pursue or consult you in settle an old bill, so you settle up

at the door. The point is to tax the depreciation that happened while you were a resident and benefiting from living in Canada.

NON-RESISTTERS IN INVESTMENTS AND BUSINESS SHARES

The deemed disposition rule applies to non-registered investment portfolios, meaning any unrealized capital gains are captured (although only 30 per cent of the capital gains it taxable while the other 30 per cent remains tax-free).

Most of Canadians' wealth is held in real estate and in registered accounts, such as RRPA, RRPA and pension plans. All of these are exempt from the departure tax.

For small business owners, shares of a Canadian private corporation are deemed disposed of after market value on departure. But if they paid for a small business corporation shares - or qualified loans or fishing property - the lifetime capital gains exemp-

tion can shelter part or all of that gain, even upon departure. So, a business owner isn't necessarily a person's large cheque - it's not not yet.

Business owners can also allow the actual payment of the tax by paying security - for example, government bonds, a bank letter of credit or Canadian real estate equity - with the CRA. The deferral is available when the department tax liability exceeds 100,000 and if liens until the asset is sold (causally, no interest is charged on the interest amount).

The trade-offs in the department's interest rate fall is linked in at the departure date value. If the asset later drops in value, they can end up seeing taxes that do cost the asset's current value. In the margin the timing but not the amount.

Canada's payments is not unusual. Australia's rules are almost identical and countries such as Austria, Norway and Belgium all have their own versions of a departure tax.

Many point out that the U.S. doesn't have a departure tax, but U.S taxes follow citizenship - an American who knows the U.S. is a foreign country with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) every year if they renounce their citizenship or give up their green

card, then their version of the departure tax - the 'repatriation tax' - comes also.

In the U.S. there has been no exemptions, tests and limits, the function is largely the same - emigrants settle their tax bill because once they've renounced their citizenship, they no longer know to the taxes in the U.S., making it easier to escape the IRS's reach.

So, Canada doesn't have a punitive additional layer of taxes levied on those daring to leave. It's possible to think taxes are too high and still can rely this particular one isn't as similar as many make it out to be. Without it, someone could build up years of gains in Canada, move to a serious jurisdiction, then will their assets be a major cash anywhere. The exemptions prove the intent. Canada's states like tax on exactly the assets it can still tax later.

Those who don't hold a large, non-expressed portfolio, savings real estate or private company shares may own IRIS or nothing in departure tax. And those who do own may still be able to do it.

For most people leaving Canada, the 'exit tax' is far less punishing budget for the 'repatriation. It's a deemed disposition, not a wall. Understand it and most of the fear goes away.

Financial lecture share of TSS hits eight-year high

Canadian banks are trading at near multidecade high valuation levels

FERGAL SMITH INVERON BALE

The Canadian financial sector's share of the country's benchmark could index the TSS, is at it high on levels in eight years, undercutting investor enthusiasm for bank shares and nervousness about energy and materials.

The financial sector now accounts for 57 per cent of the TSS, reducing the diversification from elite-of-women banks.

The TSS has outperformed the S&P 500 in 2022 and so far this year is part because it offered an alternative to highly tech concentrated U.S. market.

After several banks posted consecutive quarters of double-digit earnings growth, they are trading at near multidecade high valuation levels, prompting some investors to question whether future earnings growth can keep pace with both exportations.

Many February financials have climbed 32 per cent, compared with a 7-per-cent gain for energy data, 20 per cent drop in markets, although minors have slowed back some losses in recent days. As recently as March, financials accounted for 29 per cent of the TSS, according to S.Hill data.

Why Montagliani is touted as a front-runner to replace Infantino

SIMON MOUFF

Until last week, Victor Montagliani may have been one of the most loyal allies Gannu Infantino has ever had.

For more than a decade, as the president of FIFA's CONCACAF confederation and a vice-president of the FIFA Council, the Vancouver-based Montagliani has been steadfast in his support, even when he didn't agree with every move FIFA's president made. At this year's annual FIFA Congress, held in April in Vancouver, Montagliani paid special tribute to Infantino, praising him in their shared mother tongue of Italian.

But last Saturday, after Montagliani chaired an urgent meeting of the president of the at national federations that made up CONCACAF, the organization issued a statement blaming Infantino and his plan to sell off a 10 per cent stake in the World Cup to uncharacteristically damning language,

the confederation said the "equipment act of poor governance and leadership follows a pattern of attempts and similar behaviour. A comprehensive reckoning with this presidency is imperative."

Now Montagliani, whom Prime Minister Mark Caney

praised Wednesday as "a credit to Canada, credit to football," is being touted as a front-runner in the race to challenge Infantino in the FA's presidential election next March.

And though he has never publicly stated his desire for that top

job, former board members of Canada Soccer, where he served as president from 2014-2015, told The Globe and Mail earlier this year that they recall him missing that FIFA should have a Canadian president some day.

The speculation took on new urgency on Thursday as FIFA's crisis management efforts appeared to be failing.

On Wednesday, Infantino convened a meeting with FIFA senior staff in Morocco at which, according to a statement issued afterwards by the organization, "the FIFA secretary general and members of the FIFA Management Board in attendance reaffirmed their full support for FIFA president Gannu Infantino, as the only official elected by the 2nd FIFA Member Association."

The statement also took aim at critics, saying FIFA would "not tolerate any attacks on its integrity and will take all necessary measures to defend its reputation."

But on Thursday, the European football confederation UEFA reit-

erated that it had lost confidence in Infantino's leadership and that its boycott of FIFA competitions would continue until its conditions are met, which include assurances that "each attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again."

The next scheduled FIFA event is the U-20 Women's World Cup in Poland, which is set to kick off Sept. 5.

Montagliani has not weighed in publicly on whether he might throw his hat into the ring. A spokesperson said this week he was unavailable for an interview.

In June, during an interview with The Globe and Mail, Montagliani said he was honoured by the idea that some might see him as a successor to Infantino. But at the time, he said his focus was on running for re-election of a final team as CONCACAF president - which he has won three times, including the last two by acclimation - and serving the confederation.

Sports bettors lead the online mob of harassment that WTA players face

RACHEL BRADY

Erylah Fernandez shares behind the scenes glimpses of her life as a pro tennis player or social media. Some travel photos, workouts, fashionable outfits and events with young fans through her foundation.

Building a social-media presence puts them in control of their stories, from personal corrections to TikTok-places or sponsor contest. But there's an ugly reality for today's WTA players online too, where negative comments, harassment and threats have become commonplace.

Disgusted sports bettors are the most common offenders.

"Social media, everybody's on it ... They can tweet something

positive, something negative, they can tweet threatening messages," Fernandez, the World No. 14 from Laval, Que., said at Toronto's National Bank Open this week.

"It can be anything that they want, and more times than not there will be no consequences, because you can't find them."

World No. 3 Jessica Pegula talked in Toronto this week about getting terrible messages all the time, whether she wins or loses, across different platforms. The American blacks those users, but some have ways to殉群众, like finding an old post on which to comment.

"It's not just in our sport, it seems like it's in a lot of sports," said Pegula. "But I think women specifically, it definitely seems

like it's catatod to be worse."

Pegula turns off comments during her matches because nasty posts mostly come during or right after the plays, and then they stop. She forgot to do it before her second-round match in Toronto this week and dreaded what she'd see.

"It's a very reactionary response you get from these bettors ... so when you can limit your comments, you're usually okay," said Pegula. "It's unfortunate that people suck sometimes."

The WTA says angry gamblers are responsible for most of the abuse, but www.it's making positive against online abuse, some data from its second annual report on the topic, released in July. Along with World Tennis, they implemented Signify Group's

Threat Matrix service in January, 2024 across pro tennis tours to proactively protect players and support investigations into serious online abuse.

More than 10,000 players and officials are covered by the 16 lost initiative which has human analysis reviewing content in 27 languages, English from open source data across N. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook.

A team of investigators and risk assessors then gather evidence on the most concerning accounts, and work to prevent real-world harm.

More than 1,200,000 posts and comments were analyzed across 2024. More than 12,000 posts were categorized as abusive, and 3,700 called serious abuse, including violent, sexual, racist and targeted

threats. They removed of 60 per cent of serious abusive posts or comments and escalated in accounts to law enforcement. Some 84 per cent of accounts responsible for serious abuse in 2024 did not reappear in 2024.

Ingery gamblers were responsible for 40 per cent of all verified abuse detected in 2024 (a 4 per cent increase on 2024) and 40 per cent of all serious abuse.

The report highlights the disproportionate role played by a small number of prolific abusive offenders. Just 9 per cent of abusive accounts were responsible for 87 per cent of all abuse categorized as "high concern," while prolific accounts were responsible for 40 per cent of all detected abuse.

Infantino held off an internal revolt Next up is a hotly contested FIFA presidential election

Despite FIFA's backing of Infantino, UEFA dug its heels in on its dissatisfaction with him

JAMES ROBSON WINNERSITE, ENGLAND

FIFA president Garon Isberg was held off the potential of an internal revolt during a summit meeting in Morocco this week. A scathing response from the public was reported to be a hotly on Thursday. However, showed that he still has a fight on his hands to hold onto power.

FIFA blamed Infantino and his organization again over his failed plan to call again in the World Cup. Sedating it wants assurance that "attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again."

The coalition revealed the legitimate relationship toward Infantino as he attempts to run for an election next year while trying to quell outrage over the equity plan. FIFA would an outrage on Wednesday over the plan, and never staff members of a cross meeting in Kalam. "Audition is their full support" for his presidency.

The UEFA response shows how the apology will not be enough to satisfy his forced detractors, who want a change at the top of FIFA.

That process will play out in the coming months while a vote in March among the six national member federations had a nation's vote, and the two in October majority to retain his presidency.

Infantino left New York with around 300 letters of support

FIFA president Garon Infantino, centre, speaks to FIFA secretary general Marilyn Gushman, left, sitting beside president of Moroccan Royal Football Federation Team Leique in Kabat, Morocco on Wednesday, 07

from those federations. The number is likely to be depleted over, but it is not clear how many of those individual federations would turn against him when it comes to the vote.

Continental soccer bodies in Europe, Asia and North and South America have voiced varying degrees of opposition to Infantino's plans. Clearing home or, confederations are not obliged to vote collectively and there are no guarantees of reaching the not votes needed to vote. The majority in a contested election.

The English FA has withdrawn its support, as have before, two days and Wales. Many, except who are have been non-committal.

Infantino, whose expansion of the World Cup thus upturned its more countries, has a traditional support base in Africa, which has a voting members.

Even among the transitiones I农业 from the plan, he has received pockets of support from individual federations including even World Cup best players.

FIFA maintained its first in-honest the World Cup and other FIFA competitions and estimated that it had lost confidence in Infantino.

"Secondary" announcement that some people employed by the FIFA president could whose causes depend on his favour: agree with him. (League working "it said.")

Wednesday's summit in Kabat was dubbed a cross-mearing effort an internal backlash against Infantino's continental plan.

The secretary general Marilyn Gushman said it created "an end-of-aid" difficult to comprehend and accept "chief of global football development stories." Wenger distanced himself from

the plan, while Infantino's senior advisor Carlos Cordone resigned last week and chief operating officer Kevin Larroue said said none "deceived" from president's lack of openness.

Infantino emerged from the meeting with a untold response from those in attendance notably Gushman - confirming support for his presidency.

That was evidence of the Swiss-haback determination to resist the processes on his position and win a fourth and final term in office through 2024.

The meeting of FIFA's statement, however, was open to interpretation, saying "members of the FIFA Management Board to attendance" confirmed their support for him.

FIFA has not published a list of attendance reports during the 2024 World Cup. The list of the 2024 World Cup has been published.

It would take at least as of 11 FAs (7 contested members to trigger an extraordinary general meeting whose liabilities could be called on to explain his actions.

It's not doing wanting Infantino out, it's another finding some one who can choose up the support to take him on.

Paris Saint-Germain's Qatar president Nasser al-Khalehi is widely seen as a good fit. He is the chairman of the location of European Football Clubs, which represents the top teams on the continent including Real Madrid, Barcelona, FFC and Manchester United.

He was a unifying force in the wake of the failed European Super League project and may be seen as the type of candidate's capable bringing national federations

tions back together following Infantino's omitting division play. There's one catch - he doesn't want the job.

A spokesperson told The Associated Press Al-Khalehi had "absolutely no ambition, no interest on and no interest in the FIFA role."

Canadian FFA vice-president Victor Stangalapa is another name to throw into the seat. The president of Norwegian soccer has Klerntors but from comparison in her comment of Infantino, and the president of the Asian soccer confederation, who is to be taken on the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first time in the first

Not all to the deadline for candidates to enter the next presidential central exactly four months ahead of the vote.

FIFA said it hoped Wednesday's summit would "help or move confidence" in the organization after the furtherest year of the Infantino's project.

Infantino's detractors had official plan.

UEFA's response was scathing, saying it had made it "abundantly clear" that it had lost confidence in Infantino's presidency. "The information holds," it said.

So well as the Nov. at deadline for candidates, the Morocco Under on World Cup bound by Poland from Sept. 1, would be the first national target for UEFA's threatened brewer.

The national impact also raises uncertainty over the staging for the 2024 Morocco World Cup. The four British federation com-press FIFA's only holder to host the international and the decision is due Nov. 31.

The Canadian turned to Alexandrov's the No. 10 seed in singles - last weekend and they gave me an extra extra extra of a 10 spin on unfamiliarity with each other's games. "I heard this as a match that I wanted to win, but also as working on things to keep progressing in sort of my general development of my doubles game," said the team.

Tennis Canada says Montreal NB Open will have a deserving champ

JORDAN STOFFLER MONTREAL

High hopes for Canada's top men's tennis players at the National Bank Open have quickly given way to injuries, with this Angie Alassane, retired. Radio and Tennis Diagnostics all side, listed in Montreal, alone.

"We need our top players to be healthy, that's for men," Tennis Canada's vice-president of high performance, Guillaume Mars, said Thursday. "It's obviously on our minds."

Local Security Angie Alassane was forced to withdraw before his opening match Wednesday after injury and back during a practice session two days earlier. His withdrawal came on the heels of first-round reintension by fellow Montreal's Radio and Richmond Hill, Ont., native thespoxides on Tuesday.

With their acknowledged testimony was disappointing, he

does not expect Angie-Alassane's injury to Negro.

"I'm not too worried about it, but," he said. "Like he said, it's an injury that he knows a little bit one that has occurred already. Usually, it doesn't take too long. It's just Wednesday to couldn't play. We're pretty positive."

Angie-Alassane entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed after spending two weeks training in Montreal. Tournament organizers sold out Wednesday night's Centre Court session with Angie-Alassane as the main at London.

Radio's outlook is less certain after the 24-year-old retired from the opening-round match with an apparent big injury.

Mars continued. Radio at tennis next week's ATP Masters score event in Cincinnati but would not speculate on a time-line for his return. The U.S. Open, the year's final Grand Slam, he gets Aug. 25.

"For Gabriel, we'll see now how long it's going to take," Mars said. "We'll have to mention that, for sure."

Magnetides was also forced to retire Tuesday after suffering a ankle injury. The world No. 2 had returned to competition on. It's last week, enabling the final of an ATP cut tournament in Los Cabos, Mexico, after missing a month with various injuries.

Mars said the point in the ATP calendar presents unique physical challenges as players transition from the grave and play court reasons to the North American hard-court swing.

"The transition of surfaces are critical moments for the planning," he said. "They are oftentimes periods of the nature when players are most susceptible to injuries. The hard courts can bring back old injuries to the surface."

He added the demanding schedule leave little margin for players who are less than fully

healthy.

"The calendar is intense," Mars said. "Perhaps that, too, is contributing to player fatigue. The injuries that were sustained by the players are such a unique case, but they are symptomatic of the challenges we face."

"Today, the big problem, too, is that the margins are then. Someone who is not at 10c per cent, they basically have no chance."

The injuries have been just one part of a chaotic week in Montreal. Twelve seeded players, including the seed Alexander Zerrer and fourth seed Daniel McAnulty, were eliminated Wednesday, leaving the tournament without a player ranked in the world's top five in the round of 24 for the first time at an ATP Masters score event since 1980.

Nevertheless, Mars believes the event will still produce a deserving champion, pointing to the tournament's depth, includ-

ing 10-year-old Spaniard Rafael Jodar.

The Masters score, you have a good depth of top players. Jodar is a Kentucky player who has been a true revelation this summer," he said. "Hacks it's the year of injury, in Nissan (Loveless) Masetti is making a comeback. I won't not sure how far he's going to go."

"They are all fantastic players. There will inevitably be a great champion."

He Nissan headlines Thursday's Centre Court day session against Britain's Cameron Norris. The pair will play after Argentina's Munton "Aerone" faces France's Arthur Fils in the third round.

The evening session opens with Jodar facing Masetti, followed by American Francis Taylor against France's Arthur Rindelcheck.

Montagliani: Canadian turned around CONCACAF

P. FRIDAY 813

"I'll be the future take care of itself," he said.

Yet, with Fills in disarray, Montagliani is well positioned to take a run at the top job. It was a cross that first landed him on the global soccer stage. In 2013, when almost a dozen executives linked to CONCACAF were indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice, Montagliani—from the president of Canada Soccer—was punctuated in as a candidate to set it back on course. That gave him the platform to run for the presidency the following year.

He is widely admired for drawing up CONCACAF after years of corruption allegations and financial problems, and has constituted governance reforms that members of the confederation say have restored its reputation. He managed to unite a day after the taking into mind a two-privacy knowledge of the meaning of the system of geographic blocs of North and Central America and the Caribbean.

He speaks four languages, is done with the heads of the other five Fills, contributions, and, after reviewing a successful World Cup in his home region that often featured shots of him in the VIP box with bitterness and heads of government such as Prime Minister Carney, a better focus on saving the general public than ever.

And even as he praised Industries at the FIFA Congress in April, Montagliani delivered a campaign style speech that talked up his own focus that can create some of those who were positive for the results of the FIFA president's growing reputation for self-serving behaviour.

Investing his back record at CONCACAF, Montagliani said that rebuilding the organization "required transparency, accountability and people who believe football students must thus preserving the status quo. Jesus, let me be frank, leadership is an about-press. Leadership is about service. It's about making decisions for the many, not the few. And when leaders choose service, they can transform not just organizations, but the sport itself."

Nominations for the next FIFA presidency are due Nov. 18.

Harassment: Some players have been threatened

P. FRIDAY 813

World No. 4 (Cora Gauff) finds TIRAL and Instagram among people, but sees loads of negativity on it. To take back power, she'll sometimes reply to benefits comments with a smiley face circuit.

"I feel like that this people upside down."

The American two-time Grand Slam champ found off the path of social media. Making a face day for responding to their birthday request, having control over the stories she wants to tell and pointing to coming issues if she feels she's been misunderstood. But you must intrigue to avoid the bad stuff, especially on match days.

"With more exposure to personal things, you are exposing yourself to more comments and the negativity... it does suck at times," said Gauff. "Growing up on the sport - I mean, I burst on at 10 - months beginning it was tough, but I try my best to just use the block button."

Some players ignore ugly threatening posts. Others have dragged it from the shadows into the light for the public to see.

British player Katie Roulins showed BBC a sampling of the hundreds of disparaging online messages shot received, like, "Hope you get cancer," "Candles

and a coffin for your entire family" and "Go to hell, I lost money, my mother sent me."

Common player Eva Lee has raised a sense of it too.

"I think he's going. I've had a lot of hair after being the first round, and it was, like, the first time where I was a little bit overwhelmed with how many people were being on me." Let told the Tennis Channel earlier this season. "It's usually because they're telling me I should spend four times on Instagram, I should do better photo shows, but of this kind that, and focus more on practice."

Sometimes, next here are displayed to leave automated hateful posts and drawing public sentiment to disrupt online communities.

"When I was younger, social media was most sometimes you know. It was a way to actually connect with people... now it's so intense," Igo Swiatek said. "I cannot like work. 'If you go to your inbox where the fools are nothing had itself, you're not going to have fun.'"

It may be easy to dismiss some of the negative comments on members, leaders and amusing, while other instances are frightening and bleed into real life.

In 2019, a man was named from the Dubai Tennis Cham-

pionships after he exhibited "discard behaviour" toward British tennis star Emma Radhacara.

Swiatek was given extra security at the 2013 Miami Open after being verbally attacked during her practice session by a man who had sent her harassing messages on social media.

Earlier this year, two WTA players received separate referrals that included photos of guns, telling them to lose their matches or their families would be hurt. The messages came to them via WhatsApp and included personal details about their families. One addresses, phone numbers and the care they drove.

Both women, Italian Lucrezia McKenzie and Hungarian Fannie Udvorki, alerted the WTA, who provided security. Police got involved, each posted about the harrowing experiences on Instagram.

Combating the online abuse players experience in a master-in, and the WTA and ITF sign the gambling industry and others to help.

Further significant progress requires collective action from social media companies, law enforcement governing bodies and the gambling industry," said a statement from the WTA. "We will continue to proactively advocate for that."

Roughriders intent on remaining grounded

Ahead of Friday's game against the Redblacks, Saskatchewan is aware of just how dangerous a winless opponent can be

JEFF BEDDREER OEGNA

The Saskatchewan Roughriders hope history doesn't repeat itself when the winless Ottawa Redblacks visit Hawaii Stadium on Friday.

The Redblacks (v7) are the underdogs against the defending Grey Cup champion Roughriders, who occupy second place in the CFL's West Division with a 9-2 record.

When asked how dangerous a winless team can be, Saskatchewan's quarterback Trevor Harris and head coach Corey Mace recalled a jota game in which the Roughriders were stung.

The v7 (Edmonton Elks Star-Pilot) is bogey and defeated the 9-2 Roughriders at 72 on Aug. 5.

"The one thing I can say about football is adversity is ubiquitous. It's found everywhere," Harris said. "We've just got to make sure that we know that adversity is going to come tomorrow, and anybody that thinks they're a bad football team doesn't watch film.

"This team was up two touchdowns against Warrating in the fourth quarter," this team pushed Montreal to the list in a few weeks ago.

They maybe didn't play a great game last game, but how often do you see professional baseball clubs play two poor games in a row? I doesn't happen. They're going to respond.

The 49-year-old quarterback said the Riders need to concentrate on their own game rather than what the desperate Red-Blacks will bring.

"We don't really ever concern ourselves very much with other teams," Harris said. "It's about how are we reacting because if we play our game, I'm always going to like us."

"I've got to find ways to get better, and we obviously got to critique some things. But I think we've got to keep that better room positive, right?" said The Middle, who is in the first season in Ottawa's head coach and GM after six seasons in head coach of the Toronto Argonauts.

"Even in the coaching staff, we've got to keep it positive. I mean we can have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100

"I just tell the guys don't read the outside noise... It's all about the guys in this building. I'm sure there's people who have picked us to lose this game going into Saskatchewan. We're not just a doesn't mean we can't go to them and capture a win."

Saskatchewan has dealt with an extensive run of injuries this season.

Ravenor Kian, Weather-Rules (knos), defensive back Bolan Mil (gurs in three), comeback Terraglia Campbell (sneams), running back J.J. Ouellette (knos), receiver Sam Enslow and offensive lineman Zach Fry (knos) were on the top game injured list.

The next-man-up mentally has been replaced by Saskatchewan's coaches and players this season, and the Roughriders are one of the top teams in the league despite injuries.

"I'm not shocked at that because I see those guys work non-stop," Mace said. "Our coaches do

a good job. I'm example, they'll give out tests every week to the position group, and such, you better have the answers whether you're playing or not, so it just keeps everybody accountable. It keeps them attentive in all the meeting rooms. It's just the environment here.

"We know that injuries are going to happen, so we not have people prepared would be, insanity. I'm not shocked that these guys are able to execute at the standard that we're looking for."

LUSTER AMONG PROBABLE ENTRIES FOR 92/78 RUNNING OF THE KING'S PLATE

Woodbine Oaks winner Lauter was among the probable entries announced Thursday for the sixth running of the King's Plate in Toronto.

Lauter, who dominated the Oaks on July 19, returns to Woodbine Racetrack for the first jewel in the Canadian Triple Crown on Aug. 12.

The Oaks and Plate Trial are key prep events for the 92-million final (the final) and indicators of potential contention because they're run over the same distance (16 miles) and surface (Woodbine's Tapito) content.

Lauter, a filly, is trained by Josie Carroll, who was the first female trainer to win the Plate in 2012 with Edmonton. The gelding Highway/Infoclimon is trained by Dale Beavanowicz.

Ben James a stroke behind Hossler after opening day at Wyndham

GREENBROOK, N.C.

F.Y. Yarns out Jackson Korvan isn't the only player trying to go from college to the PGA Tour postseason. Virginia and Ben James made eagle on both the par first on Thursday and only a off finish with a pair of bogeys kept him from sharing the lead with Beau Hossler in the Wyndham Championship.

The final tournament of the regular season determines the top 70 in the FedEx Cup who advance to the postseason.

James, the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking that came with a tour card, has to win to reach the top 70. He was tied for the lead until a bogey-findie-bogey finish for a 16, both bogeys coming after he missed six-foot par putty.

Korvan earned his card from the accelerated PGA Tour University program for underclassmen. He clinched his card as a sophomore and deferred it one year and is in much better shape at No. 70. Korvan moved some birdie chances coming to catch one 69.

Hossler is at No. 122 in the FedEx Cup and also has to win to reach the first playoff event next

week. He can off four straight birdies early in his front race at Sedgefield Country Club, and played the final but can have underwrite a 10-foot eagle putt on the par-five pitch.

"Try and win a golf tournament," Hossler said. "That's all there is to it."

James, the No. 2 player in the PGA Tour University ranking that came with a tour card, has to win to reach the top 70.

James, the 50-foot leader at the KRC Canadian Open to his professional debut before ranking on the weekend, made a 10-foot eagle putt on the 9th-hole allowed him to catch Benson.

With the chance at another 10-foot eagle, he is three-putted from just inside 10 feet on the par-time 10th, behind the 7th and then came up short of the green from the first 10 or the other dropped to 9 feet and missed the par putt.

Still, it was an impressive start at a tournament where so many

players know they have to go low and finish high if they want to advance.

Every week someone always shown anywhere from 6 to 10 or 10 in the first day, so it's always done. You just try to put yourself in position, play the best you can," James said.

Taylor Ponderk of Richmond Hill, Ont. was the New Canadian after completing his first round, showing a four-underwin on to a tie for 2nd. Mackenzie Hughes of Dundee, Ont., was tied for 1/8th at two under.

Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., Ben Silverman of Thornhill, Ont., and Nick Taylor of Abbrooke, B.C., were all tied for 7/8th at one under. A 1.1-foot of Coquillum, B.C., was tied for 1/8th at one over, but he still had a hole left in his first round when play was suspended.

No one had a more bizarre round than Judith Thorgala, whose postseason is all at No. 2. He didn't make a par on the front nine - eagle birdies and one bogey. And then all he could manage were par on the back nine until he was able to approach light on the 10th for a birdie and a 10.

OBITUARIES

SALLY BRAYLEY BLISS

BALLERINA, TEACHER, 89

CANADIAN TANCER BECAME A LEADER AT U.S. ARTS INSTITUTIONS

After a distinguished performing career, she taught the son of Ronald Reagan at The Joffrey Ballet, and the U.S. president later gave her a prestigious appointment to serve on the National Council on the Arts

REBECCA RITZEL

Sally Brayley Bliss, a musical, Londonist, Canadian dancer who went on to a living career at the nexus of ballet and American politics, died June 10 in St. Louis, Mo., after an illness, the son by.

After beginning her career with the National Ballet of Canada, she danced on New York's major stages before becoming a global advocate for the art form, teaching the son of a U.S. president and holding leadership positions at The Joffrey Ballet, the Antony Tudor Ballet Trust and Dance St. Louis.

Born on May 6, 1927, in London, England, Sally Brayley moved with her family several times as a child, following the career of her father, Canadian Press (sowralist Jack Brayley) this posting in New York and Montreal offered opportunities for his young daughter to dance, but the options were more limited in fashion, where she family settled by the early 1960s. The Brayley eventually became famous chief there and his wife, the artist Evrenia (children) Brayley, a boarding member at the New-York College of Art and Design.

In 1958, Ms. Brayley left home for Toronto and went to class every day, with Betty Higham, the instructor whose (theobroma theory) study led directly to the National Ballet.

By her own account, Ms. Brayley was behind in her training and was put in a class with younger dancers, but she was determined to catch up. She took on theatre and concert gigs and competed on the CBC talent show from the State in April, 1958.

"My goal was to dance with the National Ballet of Canada," she is going to be saying in Early Years, Early dancers, and/or in John York (Killer's history of the company's development, published in 1958). But the dancer's accession was never a given. "How are your types skills?" company founder Celia Franca once asked her, according to her son Tim Bliss, "that baffled her," he said.

After six months of classes, Ms. Brayley was invited to join the fledgling company, and she remained with the troops through six years of her pay and volunteer training. In Early Years, Early dancers, she described a particularly long drive to Vermont when the dancers applied their makeup on the box.

"When we finally arrived, the whole audience was out on the street, dressing us on," she recalled. The theatre was small, the floors dirty, but the show went on. Afterwards, she said, the art is first slice of pizza. It was "delicious."

Her roles included both the bold and uprised bountiful in Coppola and a grand Victorian party guests in Antony Tudor's career. Her first success, Mr. Tudor, who had been a mentor to Ms. Franca when she danced with the British company now known as American Dance, allowed the National Ballet of Canada to perform his ballet's royalty free. This was a focus for the cash-coupled company and put Ms. Brayley on the choreographer's radar. (After Ms. Tudor's death in 1957, she became sole mentor of his father and co-operative.

In 1973, Ms. Brayley left Toronto for New York to dance with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet, newly formed by famed Rallies Ranson and the Rallies in the Allies Festival, at the time, Ms. Brayley was ending her best morning to come, recast, and Anthony Bliss, a lawyer and prominent Metropolitan Opera based member, was winding down his second marriage to the National Ballet.

When Ms. Bliss made the first move, the young dancer was not impressed, declining to go on a date with 'some grey-based old ones,' which would describe it, considered, the courtship proceeded quickly, he said. They may read in 1957.

In 1956, Sally Brayley moved to Toronto with the goal to dance with the National Ballet of Canada. Despite being behind in training compared with her peers, she was determined to catch up and after six months of dances was invited to joined the company, which led to her performing in pieces such as The Metropolis, left, and Glor Garden.

She once described him to The New York Times as, "the most unscrupulous and main 'very true.'"

"I got it out for clothes," she said. "He has no gourmet instincts. I could feed him slips."

Mr. Bliss responded by keeping a can of dog food at his desk at the Metropolitan Opera, where he served as general manager from 1973 to 1976.

To avoid the appearance of a conflict, Ms. Brayley Bliss left the Met and joined The Joffrey Ballet, an uproar company that was most experimental and racially diverse than American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet. With two young sons in two, Ms. Brayley Bliss became director of Joffrey II, a leader troops that started extensively.

"She still worked on to the home," said Rachel Cannavamo Richards, a dancer with Joffrey II from 1973 to 1975. "But she did it with a smile. She had a beautiful smile."

Patrick Corbin, another former Joffrey dancer, called three similar "Bliss bombs."

In the early 1970s, working mothers were a case night in dance. Ms. Brayley Bliss made a point of looking perfectly put together when she taught class early and had nearly confited and housed beneath a long chiffon shirt. Ms. Cannavamo Richards said "He she was always approachable, and sympathetic to ways male leaders were not."

"You could go to Sally, because she was more meditating, she always had an ear for things that could be bothersome," Ms. Cannavamo Richards recalled.

Ms. Brayley Bliss also took the Bliss into major of aiding dancers of career, including Ms. Gantizzaro Richards, to the short show and again to match their skin tone as audiences viewed their legs as one song, clean line. Once, Ms. Cannavamo Richards, who is Black, was promoted to the main company, "It was back to wearing pink," she recalled.

In 1974, Ms. Brayley Bliss welcomed a protégé with an unusual campaign. Ken Reagan, one of the California governor and sworn to the U.S. president Ronald Reagan. "He was like an amusing, thin, beautiful feet, no tumour, and he jumped like an angel," Ms. Brayley Bliss said, describing the first time

she saw Mr. Reagan in class. The U.S. Secret Service went everywhere with the company, including Hong Kong during an event that was international war.

One cold March afternoon in 1975, the Secret Service banged on the company's Nebraska bond room doors and whisked away Ken Reagan and his wife, Doria Reagan, in a public870mattie. The president had been shot, looking Ms. Brayley Bliss down a dancer and dealing with a media threat. "We are leaving for the theatre. We are very upset," she told a reporter at the Lincoln Journal.

She still worked on to the home. But she did it with a smile. She had a beautiful smile. You could go to Sally, because she was more mothering, she always had an ear for things that could be bothersome.

NAONY, GANTIZARO RICHARDS CANADA ARTS UNIVERSITY FROM 1973 TO 1975

During a month long company hatching, photos of the president's son standing in an unemployment line show national scrutiny. When Ms. Reagan left the Joffrey in 1973, citing poor treatment of dancers at the senior company, tomorrow's vice columnist William F. Buckley Jr. sued the occasion to facilitate the performing arts. The younger Mr. Reagan's decision to leave Yale University in pursue dance, Ms. Buckley wrote, had been an "awful experience" for the future. "I am president and his wife. 'Such a decision is not easily received in any household in this household it was received with true shock.'"

The president, however, moved on grudges against Ms. Brayley Bliss, and in 1976, he appeared to be a successful Martha Graham on the National Council on the Arts, a federal body that advises the U.S. National Endowment for the Arts (NEX), the country's largest source of public culture funding. Ms. Bliss stressed that his mother viewed her appointment as an apolitical honour, and that she

had no personal allegiance to the president or his policies. "She took it extremely seriously, as a service to the arts and to the country," he said.

Little did Ms. Brayley Bliss know, however, that she was signing on her six international years when the NEX would be blamed for supporting controversial exhibits, including male photography by Robert Kuglerthorpe and studies between issues, image ProCleris in 1976, council members, who had mostly been rubber-damping, giants, found themselves in the avoidance.

"The council had immense symbolic power that derived from its members' time and the original they commanded in their lands, cultural historian Isaac Reiter writes on his own book, The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art, and the Birth of America's Culture Men, a history of the turbulent era."

"It was very hard work and a fragile time," she would say in a 1977 speech. "He honoured to have been there but it was probably one of the most difficult experiences of my life."

Ms. Brayley Bliss and her colleagues found themselves over young major policy interests, including legislators change the attitude for NEX from funding arts, individual artists, with the exception of writers. To this day, that restriction continues to stifle the work of American artists, and sets apart the American model of only funding non-profit. This approach differs from norms established in Canada and many other countries.

The late 1980s were also chiefly in the National Ballet. Company founder Robert Joffrey had long sought to keep his 1970 diagnosis a secret, but prior to his 1980 death, found president Anthony Bliss plotted for his wife to replace Mr. Joffrey. Ms. Brayley Bliss, however, denied knowledge of his muchomaniac.

"First and I never talked about it because we felt that with him the big threatens of the hound, the loss of the people, the loss of the people, and Mr. Joffrey's biographer. The hound sometimes were 1970s, with some convinced Mr. Joffrey's partner, Gerald Arpino, could run the company, while others believed Mr. Brayley Bliss should be in charge, with Mr. Arpino as her resident choreographer.

When Mr. Arpino refused to discuss the latter arrangement, Ms. Brayley Bliss sent him a Canandra-like diathek, resigning from the company. "Prepare yourself, here. It could be rough," she wrote.

She was right. The Joffrey could not survive in New York without Bliss's family support and connections. The company decamped for Chicago, where it remains today.

Despite her high-wire professional life, Ms. Brayley Bliss never moved a childhood midwives, according to her son, and she was accustomed to her children's school manual as she was to the ballet company. She also prioritized speaking summers in Nova Scotia. Since her sons were in high school, the interview convinced the principal to let her teach a dance-based gym class for boys.

She was ahead of her time, Mr. Bliss said, and sought to reduce the stigma found by man-to-dance.

Later in life, she served on "no many boards," her son said. From 1977 to 1978, she was not involved in the Antony Tudor Ballet Trust, overseeing licensing rights and coaching for companies staging the choreographer's works.

In 1980, Ms. Brayley Bliss received a surprise offer to take over leadership of dance. In 1984, an organization that presented touring companies in the American heartland Mr. Bliss said his mother never a ballet work, expanded audiences for dance, booking the science and hip-hop pioneer Ronnie Bantu. When she retired in 1985, she received the Leadership in the Arts award from the province of Missouri.

At the end of her life, Ms. Brayley Bliss was surrounded by family and still longing for summers in the Hamletons, where she would visit loved ones in Nova Scotia and relax at her own cottage on Prince Edward Island.

In addition to her sons, Tim and Mark Bliss, she have her third husband, James Connell, two granddaughters, two grand-gated sons, six stepchildren, seven step-grandchildren, and four step-young grandchildren. She was pre-deceased by her second husband, her parents, and her brother, John Brayley, who served with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

A buyer's golden opportunity: a homeowner eager to move on

CAROLYN IRELAND TORONTO

Some buyers in the Toronto-area real estate market are uncovering deals in the result of an emerging phenomenon: seller fatigue.

The observation comes from John Pasalic, broker and president of Toronto-based Realosophy Realty, who is seeing a widening divergence in seller motivation as prices have continued to good lower in Ontario for more than four years.

As a result, market watchers often see properties that sell for way more than they expect, while others sell for far less.

"When we see weird sales that make no sense, we have to do some homework," he says.

In some cases, the property has a defect which wasn't evident in the listing, he says, but these days many sellers are part keen to start a new chapter.

It seems counterintuitive to many buyers, Mr. Pasalic says, but someone who has owned their home for 15 years is likely to be way more flexible on price than a seller who purchased in recent years and stands to sell at a loss.

While many assume the homeowner in financial distress would be more willing to sign a hurry deal, agents at Realosophy have seen a raft of sellers who have a comfortable amount of equity and just want to move on with their life.

John Pasalic, broker and president of Toronto-based Realosophy Realty, says that recently there have been some properties that have sold for more than expected and others that sold for far less than expected. (RED GOMTHE GLOBE AND MAIL)

"You're less concerned about the extra 50 pound — especially if you're already checked out and moved on mentally," says Mr. Pasalic.

Sometimes agents representing sellers advise their clients they can get more money.

"They push back," Mr. Pasalic says with astonishment.

He points to one recent deal where a buyer submitted a lowball bid and the seller was quick to say the would accept. Mr. Pasalic recommended the sign back with a counter-offer, but the seller feared the

buyer could be spooked and walk away. The seller is not wrong about the risk, he says, and some buyers do refuse to negotiate. The decision to accept is ultimately up to the homeowner, he adds.

Sintimentality may also carry some weight — especially when the buyers are young.

In one case, the homeowner had bought the house as a single woman and was happy that another young woman was the buyer, he says.

Mr. Pasalic urges agents representing buyers to delve into the history of the property and talk to the listing agent, who sometimes reveals a surprising amount of background information.

Mr. Pasalic has noticed an increase in another nascent trend: some agents are using artificial intelligence to estimate the value of a home. Some use the AI assistant Claude, while others are turning to startups that specialize in real estate.

An agent on the way to a listing presentation may ask: Id to come up with realisations packaged in a sleek presentation.

For consumers, the risk is that realism are going to lean on this technology a little bit more, he says, and the figures may not be accurate.

"Valuing homes isn't a science — it's 50 per cent are," says Mr. Pasalic.

He says some trade analyze photos, which may be deceptive. (HOLLAND, MS)

This chef had a $500,000 budget for a one-bedroom condo in Vancouver

After living in shared apartments since moving to the city, this 33-year-old was ready to make it on his own

ANDREA YU

Penn Bains grew up in Victoria and moved to Vancouver at the age of 19, in 2022, to pursue a career as a chef. He'd been living in shared apartments with roommates since then while working in restaurants across the city (he's currently a cook at Rogers Arena). "Turning with roommates has its charm in your early twenties," says Mr. Bains, who is now 25. "Then you start to make the look of privacy, freedom and personal space."

He most recently rented a room in a townhouse in Marjorie for 16,000 a month. Mr. Bains hadn't considered buying a place of his own until 2023. "I got today, and that was a big turning point," he says. As he made positive changes to his life and saved more, purchasing a condo in Vancouver one day became a realistic goal. Then, in the summer of 2023, Mr. Bains's dad offered to contribute to his down payment, which would put him in a position to buy.

At the beginning of 2024, Mr. Bains began taking his condo search seriously. He set a budget of $500,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bedroom unit. He needed a parking spot, since he drives, but being close to a McTwin stop was a path in 2024 he wanted to take public transit. He also hoped for a bright unit with tons of natural light and a great view.

"In the last 12 years, I've been in a lot of basement units," Mr. Bains explains. Also on his me-to-have list were a private balcony and a shared gym. Locustive, he wanted to stay in Vancouver so that he could easily meet up with friends downtown.

Mr. Bains ordered the help of his friend, Author Philip Twain, to guide his search. "With the lower number of sides and the higher inventory, it shows the market into being bigger through," Mr. Twain says of the current condo market. "This is a really good time to purchase."

Here were Mr. Bains's top three choices:

REPORTED CORNER UNIT IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER

Mr. Bains loved that this one-bedroom, one-bedroom, 25-square-foot condo was located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, at 8:00 AM and three streets. Work was a 25-minute transit ride or an eight-minute drive away. The corner unit was bright with

lots of natural light. While the building was constructed in 2024, the interior had been renovated with stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops.

The building came with a parking spot and a storage locker, and it had a shared gym and an indoor pool. However, there was no balcony. It was also listed near the top of his budget, at $24,000.

DRALL UNIT WITH A VIEW IN SEMPEROR COLLINGWOOD

When Mr. Bains first moved to Vancouver, he rented an apartment down the street from the condo building while it was under construction. "I would think to myself, 'Man, it'd be nice to live there,'" he recalls. It was further from downtown, but he could still get there with a manageable 25-minute transit journey or a 25-minute drive, and the unit came with parking. The building, which dates to 2024, was bright with wall-to-ceiling windows and the

kitchen had stainless-steel appliances, including a gas stove. He liked that it had a balcony and, being on the 10th floor, a great view of the city to the mountains.

But the bedroom was so tiny that it couldn't fit a queen man town. The unit, which spanned just 25 square feet, was priced at $25,000.

OLDER UNIT WITH A SEPARATE KITCHEN IN JOYCE-COLLINGWOOD

While this condo was the farthest of the three spots he viewed, it was close to the Joyce-Collingwood McTwin station which would go from to Rogers Arena in 25 minutes. Mr. Bains loved the unit's defined kitchen with a pass-through to a spacious living and dining area. The bedroom was roomy enough to accommodate a queen bed and a shower, and the balcony had a nice view into the mountains and the butterfly skyline. However, the unit was old (the building was con-

stricted in 2024) with aging appliances that it need replacing own, along with the dated countertops. The 25-square-foot unit was listed for $25,000 and included a parking spot.

HIS HOME: OLDER UNIT WITH A SEPARATE KITCHEN IN JOYCE-COLLINGWOOD

The small unit was out of the running, given its limited footprint. Mr. Bains almost submitted an offer on the downtown condo, but ultimately chose the older unit. "It was one of the first places I saw that felt better," he explains. The neighborhood, which was quarter and greener than the downtown condo, was also appealing. "It's a pedestrian-oriented neighborhood with parks, tennis courts and baseball diamonds nearby," he says.

Mr. Bains bought the condo in April, 2024, and moved in a few weeks later. "It was very natural," he says of his purchase. "Not hav-

ing roommates was amazing. Coming home from a 12-hour shift and just being able to meet into the couch and watch some TV was very nice."

While the older appliances gave him a bit of trouble – the fridge was leaking water and a valve needed to be replaced – he enjoyed playing hamstman. The only work he's done on the unit so far is a fresh coat of paint, but he's seeing up to 10% the countertops and will gradually replace the appliances with stainless-steel models.

To host friends visiting from Victoria, Mr. Bains purchased a pullout couch. But when his parents are in town, he takes the couch and gives them the bedroom. "They're happy because they don't have to pay for hotel rooms any more," he jokes. He sees himself staying in the unit for at least five years. "I'm very happy here right now," he says. "It's been a big mood-filter for me, just having a nice place to call home."

Nervousness ripples through Alberta housing market as referendum on separation looms

Some realtors say the independence movement hasn't had a material impact yet, but expect the market could dip closer to the vote

SALWARA FARGOUDI

If I controversial to hang a Canadian flag on your home, what's you let it for sale?

Mr Alberta's separation movement indicates a need for a referendum to vote on independence in October. Calgary realtor Rebecca Chamberlain is recommending home sellers to avoid it.

The recently advised a client to take a Canadian flag down from the property they were trying to sell — something she says she would also do for any political or religious symbol that could present at some the potential buyer.

"It's just another thing for people to be divided about," said Mr. Chamberlain, who said she didn't want to be a platform for either political belief. In this case, her client specifically wanted to sell to someone who was against separation.

"I was like, 'Okay, I just care about getting you the most money.'"

Realism and analysis say the separation movement will only add to a backdrop of uncertainty that has brought home-press growth to a screeching halt this year. Some realtors believe that the independence movement has not had a material impact on privacy, but expect that the market could decline closer to the vote, and could take bigger if the referendum is successful.

The Calgary and Edmonton markets have already been suffering from a recent gist of crashing gang and a number of other interprovincial and international migration. Last summer, the two cities were outperforming most major Canadian markets, with 7-percent wage over-year price growth in Edmonton and a per cent in Calgary in July, even, according to statistics from RPI. While, a digital real estate platform and valuation service provider.

This summer, Calgary has posted four consecutive months of 5-per-cent price declines on a year-over-year basis, and Edmonton has slowed to just 1-per-cent growth in June.

Ann-Marie Lane, chief economist for the Calgary Real Estate Board, said the uncertainty around business investment, the job market and the risk of people wanting to move out of Alberta

will slow the property market's recovery.

She said Calgary's crash market, which is seeing prices decline quickly and deals with an massive amount of new supply, will need a large increase in migrants to stabilize.

"Every is going to go through an official referendum, that's a risk and tough on migration flows," she said.

She pointed to Quebec, a province that saw an outflow of residents and lagging property prices for decades during separation movements throughout the 1970s to 1980s.

A June poll by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce found that half of its member businesses said they would leave if separation was successful. The Chamber estimated that a split could cost the province billions of dollars in economic losses.

An exodus would be a potential reversal from the "Alberta is Calling" campaign, launched by

former premier Jason Kenney in 1992, which tried to attract Canadians by touring its relatively lower real estate prices and higher salaries. Tens of thousands of interprovincial migrants usually from Ontario and EC — moved to the province around that time.

Mr. Lane said most of the focus in the real estate industry is on the result of Quebec's referendum. A successful move for the separation movement could result in noticeable declines in housing values, she said.

"It's an opinion shared by Calgary mortgage broker Joe Jacobs.

"If it was going to a point where it's going to be a full referendum, there's a risk there'll be a market that passes for sale," said Mr. Jacobs, referring to the second referendum that would have to take place for separation to move forward.

However, both Vanovermeins broker and owner at Colwell Banker Mountain Central in Edmonton and Calgary, said he

believes that some of Alberta's real estate slowdown can already be attributed to the separation movement.

"We're working with some people right now who have decided to put their plans on hold until next year," said Mr. Vanovermeins.

"People are sitting on their hands and saying, 'Hey I think I'll vote a little longer because want certainty.'"

However, Mr. Vanovermeins says he is optimistic that the market will turn around. Like many other niche province, he believes that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is looking to get a better deal for the province, rather than actually separate.

Mr. Smith, the province will be in a better economic position after this movement, a need separation does take place, because of the oil and gas industry.

"Alberta has a strong economic engine, whether we're part of Canada or not," said Mr. Vanovermeins.

Ireland: Rising prices two to three years away, expert says

© FRIDAY, 2020

"Certain things are just not obvious from the photos. You're going to be dipped."

Mr. Pasulo says some sellers are more flexible than he would have predicted, but he stresses that not all share that mindset.

In many cases, homeowners still won't budge from the price a neighbouring homeowner achieved at the market's height in early 2020. They focus on their property's estimate of value and the fact they might sell for $100,000 less, for example.

"There's a lot of psychology in this," says Mr. Pasulo. "They are, also against the peak instead of what they bought it for."

Still, Mr. Pasulo is gradually seeing fewer stubborn sellers. Three years ago, or so, many were still holding out for interest rate cuts or other catalysts to fuel

a relevant.

Now many are more resigned to slumping prices.

"In Toronto, we're not used to a slow market for five years," he points out. "Waiting doesn't mean you're going to get more money — it sometimes means you're going to get less money."

Some Toronto homeowners are not willing to accept a value of 10 or 20 per cent below the high water mark.

That's likely one reason that listings have been declining with new listings in June in the Greater Toronto Area down is a from the same month last year, he says.

The market downturn in the CIA has endured long enough that some homeowners are stunting to look toward a recovery — even if rising prices are two or three years away.

JOHN FRASLID SERVICE AND PRESIDENT OF TORONTO-BASED REALCOURSE REALTY

economist at National Bank of Canada, says improving sales in Ontario in recent months suggest that better affordability has caused some additional buyers back into the market.

Given the sharp transition in 2020, many prices two for just second months and the very low level of sales in the opening months of the year, some normalization is not surprising, the economist says.

The caution, however, that the market upholds in sales in Ontario should be viewed as a recovery from depressed levels, rather than a sign of underlying strength, or sales remain on strongly low by historical standards.

For the past, Mr. Pasulo expects the market to remain in the doldrums for a while. He believes that some forecasts predicting prices will rise in the second half

of 2020 are too optimistic.

In his recent market update and less Q&A with market watchers, he pointed to "months of inventory" for low rise properties in the CIA, which stood just below four months in June.

The measure captures the time it would take to sell available listings at the current pace of sales.

In more supply is absorbed and "months of inventory" falls to a 10 or 20 per cent of the CIA's sales. The price will plateau.

He says most potential buyers will need to see a stretch of stability before they return with confidence.

"We're still in this phase in the cycle where most buyers are still hoping to buy for less than the neighbouring house sold for two, three, four weeks ago," he says. "Everyone wants a slightly better price."

A front-facing addition gives house a welcoming vibe

What began as a small job turned into a complete rethink of the home's main floor

DAVE LAILARC ■ WACHTOMIST

I started with a powder room. Sometimes these things do. Inside Peranson and less hearts had plenty of space already in their cast-end Toronto home near Withrow Park, as it had been completely renovated and expanded in the years, long before they purchased it in 2003.

"We have many bathrooms, but none on the main floor," says Ms. Swartz, recalling what she told Good Standing Architects Joanne Myers and Jesus Shulman as she showed them a coat closet that could probably be converted into a water closet with little fans.

But then, well, there was that problematic foyer. Bumping elbows narrow and stairs up to the main floor meant elderly relatives were winded before they were wined and dined.

"You know if we were going to put in the powder room, it was now, like, what the do we really want?" says Ms. Peranson. "And it was a question of 20-mc-more, or do we build what we want?"

Again, it was already a large and lovely house, Ms. Shulman says with a laugh. "When Joanne and I first walked in, we asked, 'Why are you calling us?'

Well, there was that kitchen, too, you see. Already at the front of the house - and all agree that was unusual - it would get pretty sardine can light in there during those big family gatherings (the ones with the elderly people who were winded). "Before, the island was much smaller," says Ms. Peranson. "And these people would fill up the kitchen."

Facing the garden at the back of the house is a lovely living room filled with comfortable furniture and interesting artwork. "We loved the proportions of their living room," Ms. Myers says enthusiastically - but the reality is anti-century house guests just don't gather in living rooms any longer.

And then there was that unusual door from the kitchen, that opened to a small front porch. It was not the main door - that is on the side - so it created much confusion. "Mail was getting wet," says Ms. Peranson. "[Delivery people] would throw packages there, but clothes would say, 'Look, how do I get in?'

Ms. from powder room to full frontal reconfiguration. Remove that porch door and push the kitchen out into the front yard by 2.75 metres. Change the landscaping and landscaping - with Harbor Moynihan - to direct guests' feet to the left side of the house. Oh, and place the steps outside, at the front, so elderly guests have their breath caught by the time they push the doorbell.

And because the home already had a "bold look" and busy exterior, why not make that addition out of rough end brick? And those some I bought in there to hold up the canopy over the main door. "The house is not your typical Toronto house," Ms. Shulman says with a laugh. "Fort of an industrial look, which led us to the exposed steel... it's not a delicate house."

"We really put on our architect hats," adds Ms. Myers, who started the all-woman firm with Ms. Shulman in 2012. "It was much more thoughtful than a typical project."

There are a great many thoughts that will enter the first-time visitor's local from the sidewalk, they'll likely pause to take in all of these windows - especially if it's twilight, and the kitchen lights are on - and scratch their temple at that big I-beam. At the front (side) door, they might catch a whiff of mahogany (this writer did) as it swings open to reveal the clean, wide, unchattered, safety and hook for everything. Joyce.

After calling in a lovely Norval Morrisaua print, they'll turn right and pause again under the water proof that windows run new kitchen. "Gosh, it's lovely," they might say, and they'd be right. Here, too, is a place for everything to talk away - small appliances and people - by way of ample space and space, a big bold whale, and a city, shifts the quarts under a big, swing-out window that takes the place of the porch.

The home in Toronto's east and was renovated and given an addition that was designed by Joanne Myers and Jesus Shulman of Good Standing Architects. The house's porch door was removed and the exterior was pushed 2.75 metres into the front yard. PHOTOS BY NILEY SHULMAN

"We drew every appliance," Ms. Myers says with a laugh. "We wanted to make sure there was a spot for everything ... nothing will be on the counter, everything is accounted for."

"On a smaller-scale project, you can go that extra mile," adds Ms. Shulman.

There are extra miles in lighting vis-à-vis the Pablo Tormo St. (area over the island, in the bold choice of black, veined marble for countertops, shelves and the backglass), the bronze-land range hood, and in choosing to

nochev blinds or window coverings of any kind. And while the "lock-in" of the new façade wasn't necessary, it creates a convenient transition between the working part of the kitchen and the lounging/rating pan.

"This is an architectural move to have this indent," says Ms. Myers. "You could have argued that if you push that out you could have a longer counter, better added interest ... and [the chores] were amazingly on board for that."

And the powder room that

started it all! While it's "the smallest" the young firm has done, it's dark, smooth, textured, lone and fit by a whimsical, swivelling source by Sharpton Lighting called "Sturrock, Nova."

Good Standing Architects may be new to the Toronto scene, but with Ms. Shulman's decades of exploration of Diamond's (short) and Ms. Myers's time at KPMK, superkid, Gady Readley Architecture and Manager-Intuitive Architects (plus the experience of their three employees) there's a deep well of knowledge from which to

draw. And it's evident in every meticulous detail, every design choice, and every decision, including the one to insist on a healthy work-life balance.

"There's a shorthand amongst women, especially moms, about where your priorities are," says Ms. Shulman. "We're all committed to excellent work and working hard but, you know, when the school calls you've got to go immediately."

"We have a very amazing culture at the office," finishes Ms. Myers.

HOME OF THE WEEK 41

The house at 105 Park Cres. in Richmond Hill, Ont., was designed by architect Prithika Prouan Roy. It was originally a bungalow, but Ms. Prouan Roy opted to hear that down to build a five-bedroom house that has more than 7,000 square feet of living space designed around an interior courtyard.

THE BUDGETORY

In the 1920s, the Oak Ridge's Moraine north of Toronto provided enough wilderness and distance from the city to be considered cottage country.

Many visitors settled around Lake Wilson, the largest kettle lake on the ridge, created by a retreating glacier in the last ice age.

By the 1970s, the community of Oak Ridge's that had grown up around the lake was swallowed by the expanding Richmond Hill. Today the area has a mix of vintage cottages, newer subdivisions and condos, and some singular refill houses.

Architect Prithika Prouan Roy was thinking of the last category when she purchased a 1-underwent bungalow not far from the lake.

Ms. Prouan Roy was familiar with Lake Wilson Park from family visits over the years.

For kids and their parents, there's a waterfront promenade, skate park, splash pad and outdoor so shining and, among other activities, Natural areas provide a refuge for fish and wildlife. The founder of Prouan Architects was drawn to the property on Park Crescent for its position backing onto a ravine that descends to a pond on a neighbouring property. The know that rebuilding would require cloudy following the rules of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), which oversees the local watershed in the sensitive area.

"We understood going in that there would be some challenges and problem-solving," she says.

THE WISKIE TODAY

Ms. Prouan Roy set out to build a contemporary house with more than 7,000 square feet of living space designed around an interior courtyard.

The first bedroom house, completed in June, 2020, is based

Left: The primary suite has a standalone tub, and has its bedroom and bathroom divided by a double vanity. Right: The palette of white oak floors, light millwork and natural stone is meant to be scathing.

on biophilic principles, which hold that humans cross a connection with nature, says Ms. Prouan Roy. The towering spruce, maple and other deciduous trees at the back of the property were the starting point.

"A lot of our gestures were marching the scale of these trees," says Ms. Prouan Roy.

The architect started with the approach to the house, where guests and residents pass under a portion of the second-story cash-bleemed over the walkway.

"You feel the weight and heaviness," she says of passing under the coke.

The pattern in the exterior emcee symbolizes blowing leaves, she adds.

The space is sheltered by an overhang supported by a row of slender columns.

"It evokes that feeling of walking under a tree canopy."

She placed a form around the exterior of the garage to keep that feature from visually taking some steps. Ms. Prouan Roy explains, and the appearance of the garage doors is subdued by wood cladding.

The idea was to make the

facade appear less monolithic, while also considering how the occupants would feel walking to the front door.

"I wanted to create a sense of calm, of retreat, of leaning the world behind when you come home," says Ms. Prouan Roy.

Inside, a living wall of plants maintains a sense of connection to the outdoors, and the palette of white oak floors, light millwork and natural stone is meant to be scathing.

The large kitchen has integrated appliances, deep-down spaceres and a 30-and-slide door opening to the backyard. Ms. Prouan Roy does guarantee for the cosmicotops and island.

Instead of a backquash behind the range, Ms. Prouan Roy placed a window between the lower and upper cabinets.

"When I'm cooking in the kitchen, I'd rather be looking out at the green hedge," she says. The wood doors of the upper cabinets have been shared in a traditional Japanese process known as she was not to create a deep charcoal finish that now starts with the oak tones in the seat of the room.

A butler's kitchen with a second set of appliances is hidden behind the main kitchen so that the men of most utilitarian tasks can be hidden from view.

"Your show kitchen is nice and tidy for entertaining," she says.

The dining and hanging areas are placed around an interior courtyard, which brings light to the interior. An camera without tree provides colour with pink blossoms in spring and yellow leaves in fall. The delicate stone fountain creates sound and movement.

"A space right in the middle of the home brings the outdoors in," says Ms. Prouan Roy.

The double-height family room was created to preserve the view of the wooded ravine, says Ms. Prouan Roy.

Upstairs, the primary suite has a bedroom and bathroom divided by a double vanity and a floor-to-ceiling cabinet with glass doors. There's a sitting area, fireplace, walk-on shower and stand-alone tub.

There are three additional bedrooms on that floor.

Ms. Prouan Roy likes to create

unexpected moments throughout the house.

On the lower level, for example, she hid a small movie theatre behind a wall of books in the recreation room.

Her children like to pivot the bookshelf away to reveal the secret room to visitors.

"That's a fun little thing for the kids to show their friends."

THE BEST FEATURE

Ms. Prouan Roy positioned the new home farther from the ravine than the original house in order to mitigate the concerns of the TRCA, she says.

An existing pool can grandfathered, so she felt it in place and had it refurbished.

The canopy outside the family room extends over the sitting area next to the pool.

A lower canopy serves as the balcony for the primary suite and shelters the outdoor kitchen and dining area.

The backyard also provides an outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, carbons, pergola, and landscaped grounds.

Loft sells for $115,000 below 2023 purchase price

10 Morrison St., No. 409, Toronto RADIO/DESTROY

Asking price: $568,000 (March, 2020) Previous asking prices: $679,000 (February, 2020), $719,000 (January, 2020) Selling price: $630,000 (June, 2020) Previous selling prices: $381,000 (August, 2020), $415,000 (August, 2020), $347,000 (April, 2020), $308,000 (June, 2020) Taxes: $1,000 (2020) Days on the market: 77 Property days on market: 147 Listing agent: Dino Capucci, Royal College, Royal Estate Services Ltd.

THE ACTION: This one-budroom-plus-dist-ant is a co-storey building near Spadley Avenue, between King and Queen Streets has a slow south not held by other competing properties nearby. Not an assigned parking spot and a loft-style design. It does some interest from buyers earlier this year when priced at $70,000, but no other, two price cuts failed to shake things up.

"The unit has a coveted parking spot and locker, which downtown is smaller (cowboy you don't see a lot of that," said agent Dino Capucci. "It's a really nice, boutique building with unique finishes to it versus some towers down-

town." "We had a few buyers who were back two or three times, and a lot of buyers are doing that, knowing there's no urgency because there's so much out there."

This summer, the seller received one offer for the unit and negotiated a $70,000 deal. Though the sale was $10,000 less than they paid in 2023, it was preferable to finding a center and little market rebounds.

"We had gone over the comparables and what the value is now, regardless of what they paid," said Mr. Capucci.

"I don't have any clients who want to rent with all the news

about troublesome tenants and the [Landlord and Tenant Board] not being favourable for land tools and owners."

WHAT THEY GOT This nearly 20-year-old unit has hardwood flooring and sliding doors to the bedroom and the south-facing balcony. It's hot back from the windows, there is a dim, a renovated bathroom and a Scandinavian kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Monthly fees of $154 cover, water and heating.

Asking price: $1.05-million (April, 2020) Previous asking prices: $1,108,000 (January, 2020), $1.21-million (October, 2020), $1,139,900 (July 28, 2020), $1,485,000 (July 31, 2020) Selling price: $1,025,000 (June, 2020) Taxes: $1,023 (2020) Days on the market: 45 Property days on market: 316 Listing agent: Christopher Bibby, Mc/Mar Hallmark Bliley Group Realty

THE ACTION: Last year, Toronto-based Garbish Development completed an eight-storey building on Bayview Avenue with roughly 40 notes, marketed primarily to downstairs and condominiums. Agent Christopher Bibby was assigned some inventory to sell, including this two-bedroom unit with a west-facing terrace. The process lasted nearly a year. The first price started at $1,400,000, with other models in the building asking for much more, including a two-storey penthouse priced at over $1.4 million.

"This one moved the fastest," said Mr. Bibby. "The price point was digestible, definitely the most reasonably priced unit with exterior space."

"The building, on the west side, has larger balconies and terraces,

overlooking a single-family, freehold residential setting. It has a very tranquil, almost backyard bed."

Securing the $1,000,000 deal in June came weeks after the vacant space was furnished and related to $1.00 million. Buyers were also energized by the HST rebate for new homes announced this spring.

"Our [potential buyers], may be put their search on hold because their home prices were going down. But this year, we've been a third-company on the fourfold side and it brought people back into the marketplace," Mr. Bibby said.

"As we adjusted the pricing, added the staging, and the HST rebate came into play, things all

land of old into place."

WHAT THEY GOT This unit has a combined living and dining area with sliding doors to a terrace.

There are two full bathrooms and a kitchen with Carpentress countertops, an island and Miele appliances.

The unit has a storage locker and one parking spot. Monthly fees of $1,000 cover, storage and use of a lounge, a co-working space and a private courtyard.

THE AGENTS THAT "It's a beautiful building," Mr. Bibby said.

"There was a very playful, artistic ride in the finishes, and they were not typical for the neighborhood."

Lot buyer gets a building site with mountain and fairway views

105 Stonecreek Rd., Canmore, Alta. CANMORE

Asking price: $1,000,000 (May, 2020) Selling price: $1.10-million (June, 2020)

Taxes: $1,188 (2020) Days on the market: 57 Listing agent: Brad Hawker and Dave Betts, Royal College Solutions

THE ACTION: The owner of this 1-year-old lot might have imagined building a home that made the most of its panoramic views south and west towards Silvertip Golf Course, as well as the mountain point of Three Shores and Mount Runells. But a change of plans this spring led them instead to put the vacant land on the

slopes of Mount Lady Macdonald up for sale.

"It's a glorious lot, right on the lot first, with some of the best views in all of Canmore," said agent Dave Betts.

"There are a lot of homes with stunning views, similar to this, but most lots have been built on or purchased, which makes this a rare piece."

Mr. Betts was concerned the lot's premium price, due to its size measuring 8,227 square feet, might shrink its buyer pool and lengthen its time on the market, yet one buyer arranged a $1.6 million sale two months after in-launch.

"For a lot, it sold on the faster side of things," Mr. Betts said. "Silvertip lots are generally

larger than a town-center lot, maybe 1,000 in 1,000 square feet."

WHAT THEY GOT This lot is mostly flat terrain, fronting onto a winding street and backing onto the eighth hole of the golf course.

The building envelope is 3,475 square feet.

THE AGENTS THAT "The beauty of Silvertip is how it's starting to grow now," Mr. Betts said.

"They've had the golf course for many years, but now they've got a restaurant, winter experiences and weddings."

"There's a [local] market now, so you can stay up in Silvertip and not have to go into town if you don't want to."

Days on the market: New Property days on market: 90 Listing agents: Andrew Ipshan and Ili Younan, Keller Williams followed Urban Study

THE ACTION: A few blocks west of Mid Eastman Square on Tonge Street, this raised bungalow was put up for sale in March at an asking price of $1,000,000 and got five offers, but the sellers expected all of them in being made against. The property's price was raised to $1,000,000 and got one more offer, but that too was re- jected.

"Maybe the timing wasn't right," said agent Andrew Ips- han. "There were a lot of homes for sale around that time.

"In this market, it's ever- changing, and there's not only one way to do something. You have to be innovative and try dif- ferent ways."

In June, the seller took a new task, slashing the asking price for a good deal.

That, coupled with new photo- graphs of the pool in season, orig- inal buyer interest. Four new purchase offers were received, with the sellers agreeing to a 5-1- million deal.

"We waited for the pool to open, ordered new photos, and positioned the pool as the prime selling feature of the home," Mr. Ipshan said. "We ended up sell- ing for a good number."

"Not many homes have pools in this price [range]. Some newer

homes have it, but they were sig- nificantly more expensive - over 6-million more."

WHAT THEY GOT: This bungalow has an attached garage, three bad- rooms, two kitchens and two full bathrooms.

There are living and dining rooms on the main floor.

The basement has a recei- sation area with a separate en- trance to the 30- by 150 foot lot, as well as one bedroom with an exit

to the yard.

THE AGENT'S TIME: "One key selling factor is its location and accessi- bility to transit and major high- ways," Mr. Ipshan said.

"It's an older home situated on a wider lot. If someone wanted to do an addition or rebuild the house some time down the road, it was a great opportunity for someone to get into the neigh- bourhood at a good price."

Days on the market: One

Listing agent: Andre Kalyan, Harvey Keller, Rod Eaton Ltd

THE ACTION: Agent Andre Kalyan looked for multiple offers for this four-bedroom house near Earl Bates Park by sitting a very low initial asking price.

One buyer added $10,000 to that in a formal offer within 24 hours, a week ahead of the date of the offer to review offer. Another buyer rushed to assem- ble a attached two could not rande the first bidder's $1.6-million of- fer.

"It was aggressively priced be- low market value on purpose," said the Kalyan.

"We had good offers verbally,

and my sellers would have transacted on the offer day at one of those prices, but when we started hearing north of 1.6-million, it became a strong consideration to look at."

The 74-year-old home stood out not least for its unusually large 30- by 127-foot lot size, roughly in first wider and at first deeper than the neighbourhood

average.

"There were properties sitting on the market in the area, but this was a lot of a unicorn," Mr. Kalyan said.

"There were lots of different types of buyers, and users looking to live in the home, renovate and add on, and even some people looking at it from a land perspec- tive."

WHAT THEY GOT: This two-storey house has an attached garage and a egg square feet of living space, including an updated kitchen four bathrooms and a family room with an exit to a south-far- ing patio.

There is a formal dining room and entertaining areas with wood-burning fireplaces on the main and lower levels.

THE AGENT'S TIME: "The house has a main floor family room addition and a primary bedroom addition, it's not your typical 30-year-old home," Mr. Kalyan said.

"You have the proximity to re- scribing along Avenue Road, and the benefits of everything in the area, without paying the price of being south of Wilson Avenue and the area (highway)." - 1970MA YU

Two offers for Bedford Park home next to new construction

144 Haddington Ave., Toronto BEDFORD PARK NORTHERN

Asking price: $3,295,000 (June, 2020)

Selling price: $1.24 million (July, 2020)

Previous selling prices: $1,627,000 (August 2020), $1,375,000 (August, 2020), $1,251,000 (November, 2020) Taxes: $14,181 (2021)

Days on the market: 11 Listing agents: Robert Greenberg and Misha French, Harvey Keller, Rod Eaton Ltd

THE ACTION: This four-bedroom house, across from an domeni- tary school and 200 metres west of Avenue Road, was on the mar- ket for about three months last fall, but couldn't find a buyer. A second agent brought it back this summer with updated photogra- phy and a reduced asking price. Dozens of potential buyers ar- ranged private room or attended the open houses. Shortly after Canada Day, two purchase offers were submitted.

"We had it priced well, and there was a lack of inventory," said agent Robert Greenberg. "We had a lot of traffic."

No client, concerned by the disturbance created by a home under construction next door that might discourage buyers, ac-

cepted a strong offer of $5.24 million.

"Some people are opposed to being next to a construction site, but in the long run, it adds value to the street when you have all new homes," Mr. Greenberg said. "It's in proximity to Avenue Road and all the amenities, shopping, transportation and highway, which are all big sellers for the neighbourhood."

WHAT THEY GOT: This two-storey house, on a 30- by 150-foot lot, has 2,000 square feet of living space and a double garage acces- able through a intended base- ment.

The living and dining rooms were also nonaddicted recently.

Of the 100 in kitchen, the family room has a gas fireplace and three sets of doors to a deck, subana and an in-ground pool with a waterfall feature.

There are five bathrooms, in- cluding a seven-piece primary bathroom upstairs.

THE AGENT'S TIME: "It had a beauti- ful front elevation," Mr. Green- berg said.

"The backyard was beautiful, a very private room. You couldn't even see other houses beside you or behind you." - 1970MA YU

Lack of public engagement scuppered villages plan, say experts

Initiative called for increasing height and density up to six storeys in specific areas

KERRY GOLD VANCOUVER

Vancouver introduced a plan to create small shopping and residential areas throughout the city as part of its African development plan, adopted in 2024.

In 2024, planning began for 17 'villages,' which required rationing of interactions in low-density neighbourhoods to add six-storey multifamily buildings with shops and improvements in the streets. On July 24, after considerable taxpayer expense, a three-day public hearing and much-public outcry the plan was shot down in a six vote by the mayor and council, with Dorothy Councillor Lacy Maloney the only vote in favour.

Planning experts say the failure of the plan exposed the city's weak spot public engagement. They say policy makers need to learn how to engage residents and develop density plans that communities can embrace.

Tom Barton, senior consultant with consultancy firm Street Partners, worked with the city's transportation planning team for nine years until Jan last year. His work included transportation planning for the villages plan. The Vancouver Plan document estimated that 200,000 more residents will be living in the city by 2025. The idea was to create walkable neighbourhoods away from busy streets and add housing for people who might not otherwise be able to live in Vancouver, said Mr. Barton. He said his wife had relocated to Coquitlam from the West End to find more suitable housing, so he says he personally understood the assignment.

Mr. Barton has responded on LinkedIn to public comments by Mayor Ken Van, that staff had 'overstopped' when they came up with the villages plan.

'Staff work at the direction of council, and this thing has been going on for two years,' he said.

'My personal thought, and someone else might tell me I'm wrong... the direction was, fairly early on in the council term, was, and I'm not going to make the villages. And I was thinking, well, that makes sense in favour it's the least direct piece out of these different things that you could have asked staff to work on. And so, it might have appeared like it was maybe the low-hanging that, if that makes sense, it was going to be the least controversial, and yet it failed.'

Mr. Barton said despite criticism, the staff did its public engagement that were beyond no more in the mail. He said he met face-to-face with residents at sev-

eral public events. But, he added, the engagement process needs to improve.

'There is a question about how, in general, we engage with people on controversial topics. And there are different ways of doing engagement,' he said. 'There are co-creation type models and things that take a lot more time and might even be solve, as elected body handing a lot of power over to some of those groups. If we're going to grow as a region and we're going to accommodate density... we have to figure out the best way, as a society and as a people and as residents in Metro Vancouver, to do that, and to bring the public along with us.'

'I think if you could have that more nuanced conversation with people, I think you could get a better outcome.'

The plan had called for increasing height and density up to

six storeys in specific areas, most of them dominated by detached housing, with a sprinkling of shops. It included an estimated 200 blocks and more than 15,000 properties. The upcoming meant potential speculation and tax increases based on development potential. Only residents who've been in their homes for at least a decade could apply for an exemption to the 'highest and best use' market valuation.

Vancouver planner Larry Stanley, former co-director of planning for the city, who famously helped shape downtown towers, called the city's approach 'frontal and surro.'

In a strongly worded letter to the city by text in June, he wrote that the plan could trigger speculation in some areas and caused values to plummet in others, such as the homes overshadowed by six-storey buildings. Residents had raised concerns about

the lack of transition between houses and low-tires, as well as loss of tires, and cherished neighbourhood shops that would be lost to new development.

'The result will be community displacements, victimization, physical blight, existing retail stores, and ironically, a difficult and risky development scenario,' wrote Mr. Stanley.

'With no co-ordination or loans to manage these modern moves or concerns, the unintended negative results are inevitable.'

Instead of blanket rezoning for 17 villages, then could have added modest density around existing neighbourhood centres, he said in an interview.

'They could have said, 'We're going to work with the community to find out where the opportunities are, and what scale works best in this neighbourhood

hood versus this neighbourhood,' said Mr. Stanley. 'So that in a few neighbourhoods at a time, rather than the whole system, because otherwise, you're just setting off speculation like mad.'

'I always found solutions which I worked with the community... rather than people getting a letter in the mail telling them that their homes are being restored against their wishes.'

Mr. Stanley said he hadn't seen such an angry public response in years. The city's only rezoning of single-family properties to allow up to six strata titled units likely contributed to the change, he said.

'I think it was the last straw, and a lot of people were already angry because of the multiplex policy, which was just passed without much community involvement. The scale wasn't right, the neighbourhood wasn't right. The trees were all being lost.'

Mr. Stanley said planner Sandy James, director of Walk Metro Vancouver and former city planners, are part of a professional group known as Housing Asset that opposed the villages plan. The group, comprising urbanists, planners, architects and academics with decades of experience, regularly comment on housing policy, and are currently working on a set of proposed solutions for Vancouver's growing pains. Mr. James believes the council decision to run the plan was continually zero elections this fall. She also believes it's not over, and a modified version of the plan will reappear before a new council.

'They wanted to do a blanket rezoning that was spread too thinly, and they made it a developer type of plan, and created a false comment of new communities, not looking at existing commercial areas and how to strengthen these - even though those areas have so to get cost vacancies,' said Mr. James.

She also cites a failure to appreciate the distinct character of each neighbourhood with a one-size-fits-all approach, and a lack of engagement with these distinct neighbourhoods. Blanket rezoning, she said, serves developer interests above community interests because the developer will always choose the maximum zoning allowed even if it doesn't make sense for adjacent housing.

'We are a city of neighbourhoods, so use those parks, use those schools, and look at opportunities to put higher density in those communities instead of creating false constructs,' she said.

'We used to have a planning department that had very strong relationships with the community and knew how to do public participation, and that was part of our planning - and it made us different than any other city in North America. That was our strength.'

Buyer 'did very well' in deal for home near the beach

HOME IDEAL

4000 Dollar Rd., North Vancouver, B.C. 302/91 4000/2538

THE ACTION Although it showed well, the buyer market meant a lower-rate price than the property deserved, says listing agent Patricia Headham.

'The buyer did very well,' she said. 'However, the sellers dandled well, as (a comparable) home doors from them at 144 Dollars on Highway sold eight months earlier for only $24,000 more, despite the market declining on a monthly basis since that rate.'

'I think they attention to detail in making their home and let spectacular helped us significantly.'

SAVE THEY OF This modest-looking home, both in size; belied an impressive renovation, with a south-facing panorama ocean view and height, spacious layout.

With a just square foot of living space, the property has three bedrooms, two fireplaces and an above-grade one-bedroom suite as a mortgage helper.

The home is within walking distance of the beach, with a two-car garage and mature garden. It sits on a large, nearly 18,000 square-foot private lot. A

THE AGENTS SAID 'This was an amazingly well-done home that had fabulous ocean views... all located in a few-minute walk from both beach and Cates Park,

across the street from Dollarton Centre (Amy and restaurants,' said Mr. Headham.

'Fortunately, the sellers realized that, despite how amazing

their home is, it is only worth what buyers will pay in a particular market.'

  • 译文：总理马克·卡特（Mark Carter）政府
  • 原文：Prime Minister [Justin Trudeau] (注：原文预览中虽为 Carey 等 OCR 错误，但译文凭空创造了一个名为 "Mark Carter" 的总理，且在加拿大政治背景下属于严重事实错误)。
• 凭空捏造贸易协议细节：
  • 译文：与中国达成一项协议...将电动汽车 100% 的关税改为每年 20,000 辆的配额...关税税率为 2.5%...每年增加 5.5%
  • 核查：【严重幻觉】 检索“标题索引”及“抽样原文”，没有任何关于“电动汽车配额”、“20,000 辆”或“2.5% 关税”的描述。译文完全脱离原文，捏造了极其详细的贸易条款。

3. 翻译质量与残留问题 (WARNING)

  • 原文中出现 GUEBEC (Quebec), Vivaldyov Zelensky (Volodymyr Zelensky), Suncor CEO Rich Kruger (原文预览中出现 Carey 等混淆)。这部分属于源文问题，但译文在处理时未能通过上下文修正，反而引入了更多幻觉。

═══ 最终结论 ═══

状态：[BLOCKING]

审核意见：该译文不可用。译者在面对 OCR 质量较差的原文时，采取了极其危险的“脑补”策略，在涉及国家领导人姓名、国际贸易具体条款、公司财务数据等核心信息时产生了严重的幻觉。尤其是将百万美元误译为万元，以及捏造电动汽车贸易协议，属于不可接受的致命缺陷。

建议：全篇重译，并要求译者在无法确认 OCR 含义时标注 [Unclear]，严禁自行捏造事实。
