格里福尔斯在捐献者死亡引发审查之际暂停血浆采集

该公司称其操作受到“毫无根据的关注”，与此同时加拿大卫生部发布了不合规通知

ALANNA SMITH CHRIS KANNEY

私人血浆采集公司格里福尔斯（Grifols）在两名捐献者死亡后数月来一直面临严厉审查，目前该公司正暂时暂停其在加拿大各捐献中心的血浆采集工作。

该公司在周四的一份声明中表示，鉴于其操作受到了所谓的“毫无根据的关注”，公司主动且自愿地决定暂停采集活动。格里福尔斯是加拿大唯一的主要商业血浆采集商，在六个省设有 yr 个站点。

格里福尔斯在声明中表示：“此次暂时停工将使格里福尔斯能够与加拿大卫生部以及加拿大血液服务中心共同制定所需的框架，以支持在加拿大继续开发一个可持续且稳健的血浆采集网络。”

血浆是血液中一种富含蛋白质的液体，采集后需立即处理。格里福尔斯与加拿大血液服务中心合作运营，但与加拿大血液服务中心自己的血浆捐献中心不同，格里福尔斯会向捐献者支付费用。

这家营利性运营商表示，已于周三告知加拿大卫生部暂停运营的决定。据一名对此事有深入了解的高级官员透露，就在同一天，该联邦机构因格里福尔斯未能遵守血液法规而向其发出了一份正式的

不合规通知。

《全球邮报》未透露该官员的身份，因为该官员未获授权就此事公开发言。

加拿大卫生部在过去一年的检查中发现，格里福尔斯的多个采集点及其总部存在重复出现的安全和运营缺陷，包括捐献者审核方面的重大问题、人员短缺以及缺乏监管。4月，该机构因“多个站点存在重复的系统性缺陷”而对格里福尔斯的许可证附加了条款和条件。©

福特暗示可能取消美国酒精禁令以帮助达成“公平”贸易协议

ADRIAN MORROW LAURA STONE, CALGIN, ONT

安大略省省长道格·福特表示，即使美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对加拿大汽车、金属和林产品的关税只是降低而非取消，他也愿意将美国酒精产品重新上架销售。

周四，在总理马克·卡尼的高级贸易特使仍留在华盛顿并竭力寻求协议之际，福特先生暗示他愿意配合达成一项协议，以避免特朗普先生最新威胁的关税（计划于8月14日生效）。

在安大略省考德里的一次无关公告活动中，福特先生拒绝将取消所有美国关税作为结束其酒精禁令（该禁令自2020年3月起实施）的前提条件。不过，他概述了其认为需要由贸易协定涵盖的行动。

他说：“如果我们能达成一项公平的协议，能够保护我们的 部门、我们的汽车部门、我们的林业、我们的农业、制造业，那么我们将非常乐意将 重新上架。”在回答另一个问题时，他将魁北克省的铝业加入了要求清单。

福特先生和其他省长的配合对于达成协议可能至关重要。©

当他进入一个夹在繁忙的通勤火车走廊和沿 Lansdowne Avenue 奔流的车流之间的小公园时，他发现一个体型巨大的生物正沿着 freerline 漫步。

“我甚至没有揉眼睛看第二次，而像是看了四次，”Webb 先生说。“这就像看到了外星人或 UFO。你知道它是什么，但你觉得这不可能。”

这个“外星生物”实际上是一只东部野火鸡——7-km 英尺高，细长的腿，以及只有 blobfish 才会欣赏的面孔。©

喀布尔陷落五年后，阿富汗女性的前景更加黯淡

这一议题分化了塔利班，而西方国家则已转身离去

MARK MacDONN

高级国际记者

在塔利班重新掌权于阿富汗的前四年里，Mahrouba Suraj 竭尽全力维持她为受虐女性设立的避难所的开放。但七个月前，在 Suraj 先生保护下的 24 名妇女和女孩——年龄从新生儿到 20 岁不等——仍被粗鲁地推上巴士被强行带走。

先生在 19 岁时被认为是阿富汗女性权利运动的教母，她表示，她的避难所被关闭既是塔利班暴力厌女症的胜利，也是国际社会对其国家关注度下降的结果。

在 2026 年 8 月 19 日塔利班回归权力之前，数十万阿富汗人逃离，而 先生决定留在喀布尔继续战斗，即便在美国及其盟友撤出该国、结束 20 年军事 province 之后依然如此。

作为阿富汗女性网络（Afghan Women's Network）的共同创始人， 先生最初认为她可以利用自己的影响力说服塔利班不要重新实施对女性的严苛限制，因为在他们上一次掌权期间，这些限制使该组织成为了国际 packet。

在她输掉这场大仗之后——塔利班迅速采取行动，再次将女性从公共空间清除，并禁止女孩接受 9 年级以上的教育—— 先生将重点缩小到保护住在她喀布尔家中后楼的女性。©

英国记录今年最热的一天，西欧在另一波热浪中酷暑难耐

PAN PYLAS ANGELA CHARLTON 伦敦

国家气象局表示，随着一段强烈的酷热天气继续笼罩欧洲，英国在周四记录到了今年最热的一天，西伦敦的气温达到了 3p's 摄氏度。

英国气象局（Met Office）表示，该温度超过了今年之前的最高纪录 5p 摄氏度（记录于 6 月 5 日）。但仍低于英国 8 月份的最高纪录 5p's 摄氏度（创于 2005 年）。

与法国一样，英国正在经历今年的第五波热浪。

与此同时，根据国家气象局的数据，法国的气温攀升得更高，从最西部的阿基坦（Aquitaine）到东部的罗讷河谷（Rhone River valley），多个地区的温度接近 at 摄氏度。

预计最剧烈的热浪将在周五从英国和法国移开，然后在周末消退。

这个夏天表明，英国和法国在应对这种级别的高温方面都准备不足，例如在商店和办公室之外缺乏空调设施。

在英国，周四披露的情况显示，医院的工作环境尤为艰难。根据英国皇家护理学院（Royal College of Nursing）的数据，已有护士因中暑而晕倒。

“当护理人员晕倒、感到眩晕、恶心，甚至因为工作场所无法承受高温而不得不进入他们工作的医院就诊时，这表明他们遭受的忽视程度有多严重，”该学院首席执行官兼总书记尼古拉·兰格（Nicola Ranger）表示。

与欧洲许多地区一样，英国和法国正面临广泛的干旱状况，导致农作物枯萎，河流干涸，给家庭、农业和环境的水资源带来压力，并迫使政府和用水者寻求短期和长期措——

周四，一只狗在伦敦塔塔桥前的干草地上奔跑。英国正日益呈现出沙褐色，而非其传统的景观绿。GREET MASCAMBRING 美联社

——措以减轻人为气候变化带来的影响。

负责英格兰南部供水的英国南方水务公司（Southern Water）已申请一项罕见的干旱令，该命令将禁止企业进行非必要用水，包括洗车和填充游泳池，该公司称“异常”的降雨不足正威胁着供应。环境大臣安吉拉·伊格尔（Angela Eagle）将对该申请做出决定，若获批，这将是自 2009 年 5 月以来的首次此类禁令。

随着气温飙升，许多人前往海滩和户外，或寻找其他降温方式。在法国西南部波尔多，儿童和成年人在该市标志性的“水镜”中寻求缓解，在喷泉中浸泡，泼水洗脸并填充水容器。两者都以此解渴。

由于土地干涸且没有明显降雨迹象，英国和法国的当局对山火保持高度警惕。

在英国（其景观正日益呈现沙褐色而非传统的景观绿），消防员本周大规模出动，试图控制英格兰南部新韩国（New Korea）的一场山火。

根据国家消防局长委员会（National Fire Chiefs Council）的数据，英格兰和威尔士今年记录了 1,297 起山火，与去年的破纪录总数持平。

虽然规模不及在法国、希腊和西班牙看到的程度，但这充分证明了英国需要适应新现实的必要性。

首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）表示，在极端高温继续笼罩英国部分地区且山火风险增加的情况下，他将考虑禁止使用一次性烧烤炉。

“我认为我们需要大声且清晰地传达这个信息，”他说。“人们目前不应该在户外使用那些烧烤炉。”

法国消防员在经历了一个绝望的夏天后再次投入行动，且由于需要更多的人员和资源来应对日益极端的天气事件，他们威胁要举行罢工。

周三晚间，一场火灾在北部的太平洋-卡兰（Pacific-Calan）地区爆发，另一场则在布列塔尼（Brittany）爆发，这两处都远离法国南部最炎热、干旱且易发生火灾的地区。上个月，一场历史性的火灾在波尔多（Bordeaux）附近摧毁了部队，并导致25万人被迫离开家园。

志愿者集结援助萨默兰撤离者

锡克教寺庙为数千名因山火流离失所者提供食物，农民、果园主及供应商捐赠农产品

安德里亚·吴 (ANDREA WOO)

周六清晨，电话开始接踵而至。彭蒂克顿锡克教寺庙的成员们得知，由于一场猛烈的山火，不列颠哥伦比亚省萨默兰区（District of Summerland, B.C.）的所有人员已被撤离。数千人正涌向彭蒂克顿及其周边地区，其中许多人身上仅穿着简单的衣服。

卡特林德·雷恩斯 (Katrinder Rains) 给卡奈尔·吉尔 (Karnail Gill) 打了电话。

“我们的计划是什么？”雷恩斯先生问，“我们能做点什么吗？”

“我们必须做，”吉尔先生回答道。作为该谒师所（gurdwara）的组织者，吉尔先生在社交媒体和一个旁遮普语广播电台发出捐赠呼吁。他创建了一个包含该地区农民、果园主和其他食品供应商的群聊，请求他们提供任何可以匀出的食物。

他在群聊中写道：西红柿、黄瓜、生菜、西瓜、苹果、桃子、油桃——欢迎任何数量的农产品。通过电子转账（e-transfer）的现金捐款将用于购买必需品。

“齐心协力，定能实现，”他说。

他与 K3 Penticton（一家教授年轻人领导力技能的非营利组织）取得联系，以协调餐食准备并讨论食品安全。

第一批餐食在午餐时间前发放。

随着不列颠哥伦比亚省宣布进入全省紧急状态，林火队员全力扑灭快速蔓延的火势，另一支“军队”也同步动员起来——农民、小企业主、社区团体和其他志愿者开始收集食物、准备餐食、筹集资金并向那些被火灾迫使离开家园的人们运送物资。

周日，在不列颠哥伦比亚省彭蒂克顿，一家人走过一块新更换的“萨默兰坚强”（Summerland Strong）标牌。2024年9月14日，星期五

这是锡克教的一种理念。先组织好自己，然后帮助他人。这就是生活应有的样子。

SHRIAD OLI 2024年9月14日，星期五

吉尔先生估计，在第一次午餐服务期间，志愿者分发了 50% 到 60% 的餐食，在接下来的几天里，这个数字增加到每顿午餐和晚餐服务约 3,000 份。

周三视察该地点的省长大卫·埃比 (David Eby) 向该谒师所表示“衷心的感谢”，感谢其为撤离者提供食物和必需物资。

在访问后的社交媒体帖子中，他说：“当邻居需要帮助时，不列颠哥伦比亚省的人们会团结在一起。”

该谒师所的 Facebook 页面在整周发布更新，评论区被感谢成员们善良之心的留言所淹没。

吉尔先生对他的团队收到的广泛赞誉表现得十分淡然，称这种努力是其信仰的基础。

“这是锡克教的一种理念。先组织好自己，然后帮助他人，”他说。

“这就是生活应有的样子。”

奥利弗（Oliver）里弗里奇农场（River Ridge Farms）的所有者、吉尔先生的姐夫 / 妹夫鲍比·贝尔 (Bobby Bear) 也是群聊成员之一。他在奥利弗协调资金捐赠以及当地农民捐赠的农产品箱，由他人每日运送到彭蒂克顿。

他也贡献了自己的力量，并表示为自己的社区感到自豪。

“我指的不只是我的锡克社区——而是整个社区。无论肤色或种族都无关紧要，”他说。“我们是一个社区，每个人都在互相支持。这让人感到非常满足。”

社区成员的捐赠还使该谒师所能够储备个人卫生用品、尿布和宠物食品，以及供撤离者携带的零食和干货。无法前往谒师所的需要帮助者可以通过电话安排配送。

彭蒂克顿的许多其他组织也集结起来。救世军（The Salvation Army）正在为撤离者提供餐食、毯子和其他支持。Match Eatery

以及 Match Eatery and Public House（一家社区酒吧兼宠物友好场所），已将其自助餐区域转换为从早晨到午夜面向疏散人员的救助区，提供电影、棋盘游戏、充电站和无线网络；在社区捐赠的帮助下，每天提供三次餐饮。

此外，整个奥肯那根谷（Okanagan Valley）的其他组织和个人也提供了帮助。

自上周五下午发现名为 Bald Range 的野生动物火灾以来，不列颠哥伦比亚省野生动物服务局（BC Wildlife Service）一直维持 24 小时监控。该火势目前仍处于失控状态。

周四，有 30% 的消防人员在现场，配备了 34 架直升机和 35 台重型设备。另有 154 名人员致力于保护房屋和其他建筑。

萨默兰（Summerland）的 12,000 人口仍处于疏散令之下。周边社区的数千名其他居民也仍无法返回家中。

与此同时，奥肯那根的另一场大火目前被认为已得到控制。

中奥肯那根应急管理部门表示，本月早些时候在弗农（Vernon）和 Kalkoma 之间引发疏散的 Qudjetnik Clock 火灾预计将维持在当前边界内。

应急行动中心表示，目前正在评估该地区的树木危险情况和电力线路，以确定居民何时可以回家。

穿过萨默兰山火疏散区的公路已有限度地重新开放。

奥肯那根-Smithamore 区域区表示，87 号公路将在上午 7 点至晚上 7 点开放，除持有临时通行证的人员外，禁止停车或驶出。

福特淡化 PC 党监视克伦比一事

该党花费 3,000 加元在牙买加行程中监视前安大略省自由党党魁

劳拉·斯通 (LAURA STONE) 苏珊·T·福特·米斯特特 (SUSAN T. FORT MYSTOTTER)

安大略省省长道格·福特周四淡化了关于其进步保守党（Progressive Comet-voice Party ）在 2023 年 12 月安大略省自由党党魁罗妮·克伦比（Ronnie Crombie）前往牙买加度假期间，花费数千加元对其进行监视的指控。

在安大略省考尔夫（Caulph ）举行的一场无关的新闻发布会上，福特先生表示他本周才得知此事，称他不赞同这种行为，但补充说那是党的资金。

在线媒体 The Trillium 和 Policeman 周四报道称，在克伦比女士赢得自由党党魁之位后不久，PC 党派遣了一名人员对她进行监视。克伦比女士当时还担任密西沙加市市长，直到 2024 年 1 月辞职。

这些指控引发了反对党的谴责，他们指责福特先生的政党进行恐吓和滥用权力。

在被披露多名多伦多地区的 PC 党省议员（MPP）近年来在酒店费用上报销数千加元后，省长政府还面临着关于省议员开支的质疑。前旅游部长约翰·切维（John Che-vi ）上个月在争议发生后被福特先生将其从内阁中除名，但其他省议员均未辞职。

关于牙买加事件，福特先生周四告诉记者：“那是党的 1,000 加元，我直到昨天才知道，”并补充说“我不赞成这样做”。

福特先生表示，他并不过度使用竞选活动中的每一分钱。他补充说这是一笔款项，但批评人士指出，政党在捐赠资金之外还接收由纳税人资助的选票补贴。

“我已经和党沟通了。我不会这样做，但再次强调，事情总会发生，”福特先生说。他还指称媒体曾跟踪他前往佛罗里达州、芝加哥和新泽西州，但未详细说明或提供证据。

由一名安大略省省议员提供的 PC 党 2023 年年度财务报表副本详细列出了向牙买加 Ocean Eden Bay 酒店支付的 1,000 加元以及向牙买加 Renofale Valley 酒店支付的 1,000 加元的办公和行政费用。

克伦比女士周四在评论中确认，她于 10 月 8 日至 10 日前往 Ocean Eden Bay，她 还表示，她是与她的三位伙伴、家人以及一些在会议后进行广告宣传的 Re-Newer 一起参加安大略省自由党领导层活动。

福特先生的政党周四表示，不包括相关活动：“安大略省 PC 党与其他政党一样，会对反对派进行研究。在这种情况下，该周包括 2023 年 12 月前往牙买加的行程，”党发言人彼得·特林顿（Peter Turlington）在电子邮件中表示。

省长办公室此前告诉 The Trillium 和 Policeman，“相关人员已不再为政府或该党工作”。

在牙买加之行的同时，进步保守党（Progressive Comet-voice triers ）正试图将克伦比女士描绘成一个外来者。

反对党周四对该党在克伦比女士私人时间跟踪她表示不安。

“这已经超出了权力范围。道格·福特需要解释为什么他认为这对该党是可以接受的，”克伦比女士说，“因为这在对方进行私人旅行时在国外发生了，”随后自由党党魁约翰·罗恩（John Roan ）在声明中表示：“这不是问题。这是令人毛骨悚然、不安的行为，以及完全的权力滥用。”

安大略省省议员马丁·赛克斯（Martin Sikes）称此次事件“令人震惊”。

“在一名政治对手的私人假期中监视一名女性是卑劣的。这种行为在这里没有立足之地，”赛克斯女士在 X 平台的一份声明中说。

“女性在政治中已经面临足够多的障碍，不需要这种原因。肯定有人批准了那笔费用，而且他很清楚是谁。必须有人为此负责。”

前安大略省自由党省长凯瑟琳·温（Kathleen Wynne）在周四的 Scentfall 上表示，丈夫希望成为第一个被质疑或更好的人。在 X 上，如果克伦比先生（Mr. Crombie）在 2024 年赢得领导权，他本会跟随这位巨大的挑战者去度假。

“我现在真的认为，我们生活在一个厌女症被包裹或恢复许可的时期，”他说。

在牙买加担任自由党领导人的克伦比先生，现在正与该党的资金竞争，并且在离开省级政治之前，他曾连续三届担任该职位。

多伦多警方在处理电动自行车失窃报案时一名警员遭枪击，一名男子被起诉

ELISSA WEHRES

在周四发生的一起涉及盗窃电动自行车的逮捕行动中，一名多伦多警员在执勤期间遭到枪击。目前一名男子已被指控企图谋杀，另一名嫌疑人仍在逃。

官员表示，此次枪击事件是今年夏天针对警察的一系列暴力事件中的最新一起，其中包括 6 月份一次突袭行动中一名警员被枪击身亡的高关注度事件。

警方表示，凌晨 2 点左右，他们在 Blackstone Street 和 River Street East 区域接到一起抢劫报案。据称，两名骑电动自行车的人接近另一名电动自行车骑手，将其推倒并实施袭击。

调查人员表示，一名男子骑着受害者的电动自行车逃离，另一名则向另一个方向离开。其中一名嫌疑人据称持有武器。

警方在发现骑着被盗电动自行车的嫌疑人时，指称其反抗逮捕并掏出枪支，向一名警员开枪。

副局长 Lauren Poppe 在周四的新闻发布会上表示，在等待医护人员到达期间，其他警员迅速在他的腿上使用了止血带。

该警员在警队工作约 3 年，被送往医院治疗，伤势严重但没有生命危险。

一名来自安大略省彼得伯勒（Peterborough）的 27 岁男子被逮捕，警方缴获了一把枪支。警方称该男子此前因“暴力犯罪”而处于半释放状态，且被保罗（Paul）和滑铁卢（Waterloo）地区通缉。

他面临多项指控，包括企图谋杀、使用攻击性武器抢劫，以及两项不遵守释放令的罪名。

另一名嫌疑人仍在逃，警方表示目前还没有他的描述。

副局长 Poppe 表示，此次枪击事件令警队感到担忧，因为他们仍在为 6 月份一次警方突袭中被枪击身亡的 Marc Pannstein 感到悲痛。

这位副局长称此次枪击是“另一个令人震惊的例子”，表明加强。

“又来了，”多伦多警察协会主席 Clayton Campbell 表示，并指出今年已有四名警员在工作中受伤。他表示，这个数字是不可接受的。

“我们有一名警察躺在那里，被枪击了，”Campbell 先生在多伦多市中心圣迈克尔医院（St. Michael's Hospital）外的记者会上补充道。“就在几个月前，我们才有一名警察被谋杀。”

Campbell 先生表示，警察。

Major Ofria Chew 在社交媒体上的声明中表示，此次枪击是“另一个提醒”，表明警员在履行职责并努力维护人们安全时，每天都面临着。

多伦多警方追回与高端住宅入室盗窃案相关的被盗物品

OM SHAMIRAD

多伦多警方表示，在针对高端住宅入室盗窃案的调查中，他们追回了价值超过 1000 万 的家族企业资产及其他年度支付款项，并导致了相关逮捕和 100 项指控。

作为“公司项目”（Project Company）的一部分，在多伦多全市范围内一系列困扰公寓大楼的非法闯入事件后，警方追回了超过 2,000 件被认为是被盗的物品。

督察 Joe Marys 在周四的新闻发布会上表示，调查始于 2024, 2025 年 5 月，警方在 14 个主管重大犯罪跨部门调查中发现，多个住宅单元因拥有高价值物品而成为目标。

警方表示，在调查过程中，他们将大约 8 到 10 起额外事件联系在一起，这些事件始于 2024 年 5 月。此后，调查在 美国、加拿大、加拿大 发现了 10 起入室盗窃事件，目前已启动一个网站用于研究以寻找被盗物品。

“我们希望将这些物品归还给其所有者，”May Marys 表示。

这些物品大多价值高昂，有些甚至可能是家族企业资产。

在“公司项目”期间追回的物品图像以及 2023-24 年多伦多警方的网站上可见，所有者可以通过相关流程认领其财产。Stop Marys 表示，在对犯罪组织提供的一处场所执行搜查令时发现了这些被盗物品。

“我们指控被盗财产通过该企业进行贩运并兑换成现金。”

警方周四表示，他们于 3 月逮捕了 3 人，涉及 100 项指控，包括入室盗窃、持有入室盗窃工具以及意图处置赃物。

多伦多警方发言人

Stephanie Sayer 表示，被捕人员包括 Manila Immuneadvent 以及来自 Vaughan 的 Other Mandarin，25, 岁。他们每人都面临 97 项指控；来自多伦多的 Omaha Mandalain，25 岁，也被逮捕并面临 10 项指控。

警方表示，该场所位于 Queen Street East 和 Church Street east，且场所所有者不在被捕人员之列。在新闻发布会回答问题时，Teme104 频繁地确认。作为调查的一部分，超过 2,000 件物品被追回，且他“在不久的将来可能面临危险”。

多伦多警方此前已向多伦多沿岸的投资者交付了 2,000 件物品，这些物品与针对车辆的有组织团体相关，并表示该地区的警察部门一直在共同努力解决这一问题。

根据《全球邮报》对数据的分析，在多伦多的 Roadside House 地区，部分投资者和入室盗窃犯罪在 2019 和 2023 年之间增长了 12%。相比之下，在全市范围内，这两类犯罪在同一时期下降了 27%。

在全市的高收入社区（定义为家庭收入前 25% 的社区）中，Tonge St. Clair 的比例增加了 25%，Mount Pleasant East 分别增加了 2 / 3%。

《全球邮报》报道称，70% 的警察在使用 Shell Up Squad（一个调查收藏品的单位），并与该地区的警察部门合作解决入室盗窃犯罪。

正如《全球邮报》在 4 月报道的那样，一些不同社区发生的一系列有时带有暴力色彩的事件促使居民采取行动保护自己的家园。

周四，South Roadside House 的总裁 James Le 表示，他住在镇上，自从社区组织了私人安保巡逻并引入“虚拟电力”以降低此类犯罪频率以来，情况得到了进一步改善。

新数据表明，去年加拿大有10名儿童死于电动滑板车伤害

HAWANA ALBERGA

新数据凸显了电动滑板车和电动自行车对加拿大儿童可能造成的危险。

加拿大儿科监测计划表示，2023, 2024, 或 2025, 在安大略省有儿童因使用三种电子设备而死亡。

前两名患者被送入重症监护室，并在医院接受了超过两天的治疗。

去年涉及长期住院的电动滑板车和电动自行车严重伤害总数中，儿科患者的入院死亡率 87% 为 27 例。

这些数据包含在 CPSF 的年度报告中，由公共卫生局共同发布。这些数据周四也由加拿大儿科协会发布。研究人员对该领域的两名医生进行了调查以收集相关信息。

该报告是首批显示青少年严重伤害国家规模的报告之一。它发现前几年的州内有 1,000 例，但加拿大卫生信息研究所一年前并未启动，数据显示 5 至 9 岁儿童涉及电动滑板车的住院患者已从 2023 年的 27 例增加到 2024 年的 23 例，在 2024 年。

这些令人沮丧的结果对于全国急诊科和创伤中心的医生来说并不意外，他们见证了与这些个人个人不可逾越设备相关的伤害剧增，这些设备还可能包括行为不端、卫生和止赎。

报告称，年长者的最高年龄为 40,000, 此前为 40, 100, 由 100% 的病例报告在 40, 岁以下儿童中，凸显了加强政策协调和公众教育以清晰传达法律的必要性。

多伦多病童医院的儿科急诊医生 Daniel Roscoe 博士表示，他几乎每个班次都能看到电动滑板车伤害，他表示这种增长在过去几年里“基本上是指数级的”。

而且，对于儿童来说，至少会有像手臂骨折之类的情况，新数据中报告的病例中近一半涉及头部受伤。这可能导致基于大脑的、增加的移位或脑震荡，官僚主义是最常见的手术。

“我认为我们刚刚达到了一个临界点，这些设备的可用性和健康，这些设备的普及程度是我们以前从未见过的，”加拿大儿科协会伤害预防委员会的 Roscoe 博士（40,000,）说道。

在 50,000, 处，Roscoe 博士表示，2023 年只有一名患者因电动滑板车相关伤害进入急诊科。这一数字在 2023, 20 年攀升至，2024, 年为 20 例，2025 年超过 例。

他说，现在的问题是你拥有一个被当作玩具销售的设备，但它实际上是一个模仿能量的高速机动车辆，并补充说这些设备时速可达 20 km / h。

根据你所在的位置，电动滑板车和电动自行车新法规的可用性是最常见的设备，这也让加拿大人感到类似且对法律感到困惑。Roscoe 博士这样说道。

在安大略省，一些城市（如 Rampston 和密西沙加）参与了一项电动滑板车增强计划，允许使用新设备，速度最高可达 24 km / h。然而，邻近的多伦多已禁止在公共道路、人行道和公园小径上使用电动滑板车，尽管许多地方仍在使用。你仍然可以在该市购买电动滑板车。

在阿尔伯塔省，你不得在道路或人行道上骑行私人拥有的电动滑板车，但在埃德蒙顿和卡尔加里可以租赁，那里有持牌窗口运营。不过，你只能在城市路径上行驶。

在埃德蒙顿从事急诊和紧急护理工作的 Brian Rowe 博士表示，感觉现场存在一种脱节，即空气和道路应该是为了赚钱，“而没有人真正关心医疗系统和残疾公民。”

“我认为在省级层面，你可以非常清晰地提及在全省范围内建立联系的信息，”罗博士说道。

联合国称伊斯兰组织利用$50-million赎金升级在马里的袭击

联合国小组发现，基地组织附属机构在绑架一名海湾国家皇室成员后，从该国收取了这笔款项

GODFERTY YORK JOHN A. BOURNE, CHIEF JOHN BOURNE

一份联合国报告称，基地组织的一个附属机构利用从一个海湾国家获得的一笔10-bro-million（原文如此）赎金，资助了一场前所未有的反政府武装攻势，并占领了马里北部的一个军事基地。

联合国监测小组本周发布的这份报告披露了伊斯兰武装分子如何策划一系列绑架活动，以为其在西非萨赫勒地区扩大行动提供资金的细节。

联合国小组发现，这个被称为 JMM 的基地组织附属机构在绑架一名海湾国家皇室成员后，从该国收取了巨额赎金。报告未指明该海湾国家，但相关外媒广泛报道，涉及该事件的是参与黄金贸易的阿拉伯联合酋长国。

报告称：“这些资金在资助该组织在马里全境的攻势中发挥了关键作用。”报告估计，JMM 目前在萨赫勒地区拥有 7,000 名 m from monthend（原文如此），并继续升级其行动。

今年 4 月，JMM 首次与一个北部分裂组织结盟，协调对马里境内军事目标的袭击。他们

占领了北部城镇 Ralal 的一个陆军基地，迫使数百名俄罗斯军队撤出，袭击了马里中部和北部的其他几个战略地点，并用一枚威力巨大的汽车炸弹刺杀了该国国防部长 Sable Camara。

这场 14 年来规模最大的反政府武装攻势震惊了马里，并引发了人们的担忧，担心伊斯兰武装分子可能会在北部据点之外大幅推进，并 revenue（原文如此）该国的广大地区。

联合国报告称，他们的目标是“增加对当局的压力，under opposition focus（原文如此），并巩固其在马里北部和中部的影响力”。

报告称，虽然过去 JMM 与北部分裂组织之间存在“各种协调”，但“这些行动标志着这些 setilde labourations（原文如此）的显著深化”。

该伊斯兰组织通过频繁组织封锁首都 Somalia（原文如此）并停止向该市供应燃料，展示了其在马里南部的影响力。

马里军政府在夺权后将法国和联合国部队驱逐出境，并日益依赖俄罗斯军队来防御反政府武装。但据估计，从 Ralal 到马里的 1,000 名 m from（原文如此）以及各种装甲车，未能阻止叛乱分子的崛起。

在今年早些时候的一份报告中，联合国监测小组表示，JMM 去年 10 月在马里进行了 21 次绑架行动，几乎是此前任何一年的两倍，且 expansion workers discouraged（原文如此）。报告警告称：“规模和范围的增加可能会提高 JMM 的作战能力。”

根据佛罗里达大学学者 Oliver Walther 和 Alexander M. Laskaris 最近的一项分析，赎金收入帮助伊斯兰组织维持与西非当地领导人的联盟。

他们表示，赎金资金“还通过提供显著的经济激励，使极端组织更容易招募西尼日尔、毛里塔尼亚和布基纳法索的年轻政治人物”。

萨赫勒地区已成为全球恐怖主义的中心，近年来全球约一半的恐怖主义相关死亡人数发生在该地区。联合国报告称，例如在布基纳法索，JMM 今年已声称发动了 100 多次袭击，并将其行动范围扩大到更靠近首都 Singaporeing（原文如此）的地区。

报告称，另一个伊斯兰组织“伊斯兰国”的一家附属机构在尼日尔显著提升了其作战能力，并于1月份对该国的超级国际机场发动袭击，摧毁了四架飞机。

联合国监测小组表示，此次机场袭击“证明了其执行复杂城市作战的能力”。“数名组织程度极高的成员被分为两组突击队，利用摩托车、皮卡车、侦察无人机、轻武器和迫击炮袭击了机场。”

伊朗与美国就霍尔木兹海峡的控制权提出相互矛盾的主张

伊朗最近任命的 Rosigranet / Irany 部门负责人周四表示，霍尔木兹海峡“处于伊朗的控制和管理之下”。此前一天，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，美国对这一战略要道拥有“绝对控制权”。

俄罗斯方面表示，美国试图通过在霍尔木兹海峡西部发动另一场战争，来破坏他所描述的伊斯兰共和国在该地区的影响力，但尽管美国声称伊朗既没有空军也没有海军，却再次被击败。

据半官方的伊朗新闻报道，他表示：“我的意思是，今天霍尔木兹海峡处于伊斯兰共和国的管理和控制之下。”他补充说，伊朗正处于完全安全的状态，继续沿着既定路线前进。

在战争开始后（战争始于美国和以色列对海上的袭击，导致 30, 方面受损），该海峡实际上已被关闭，此前全球有少部分石油和液化天然气通过该海峡运输。美国随后对其主要航道和港口实施了海军封锁，同时表示将保护打算从甚至人类港口出发的船只的航行自由。

伊朗的联合军事指挥部——哈塔姆-奥尔-安比亚中央总部（Khatam al-Ashina Central Headquarters）周四晚些时候表示，未经伊斯兰方面许可，任何船只都不能通过霍尔木兹海峡。

该指挥部在国家媒体发布的一份声明中表示：“美国关于船只正常通过霍尔木兹海峡的 baurites 主张……不过是谎言和虚假之词。”

6月，两国达成了一项临时协议，宣布永久停火，并呼吁迅速恢复海湾的航行自由。

几周后，由于伊朗恢复了对部分船只的有限攻击（伊朗称这些船只的航行违反了协议项下的安排），该协议破裂，这促使美国重启对伊朗南部省份的袭击。华盛顿方面表示，这些袭击旨在削弱 Musar 针对海湾船只的目标打击能力。周四，高级军事政治官员 Raseed Sanad Rad 单独表示，伊朗不会对 strutations做出回应。据伊朗新闻报道，他认为双方均未履行临时协议项下的承诺，并补充说，重新开放水道并非美国可以悄无声息实现的。

Sanaad Rad 还警告称，伊朗将在未来的任何冲突中做出更强有力的回应，他表示：“在未来可能的战争中，我们将更加坚定地捍卫更多利益。”

乌克兰无人机袭击俄罗斯境内深处的大型炼油厂

ILLA MOYNOV YEV

军方官员周四表示，乌克兰无人机袭击了俄罗斯境内深处的一座大型炼油厂，这是基辅在为期一个月、旨在撼动莫斯科关键石油部门的行动中，三天内发起的第四次袭击。

俄罗斯是全球最大的能源生产国之一，在莫斯科发动全面入侵四年多之后，其军队试图在缓慢且代价高昂的推进中进一步深入乌克兰，而石油为其提供了经济支柱。

这些袭击削弱了俄罗斯的炼油能力，导致加油站出现短缺。基辅官员表示，这种禁运倾向于迫使俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京寻求和平协议。但目前没有迹象表明该策略奏效。

乌克兰总参谋部表示，其部队在夜间袭击了位于俄罗斯拉赫肖齐亚（Rakhshotsian）共和国的最高内廷金（Supreme Nethinkin）联邦炼油和石化综合体，导致该设施起火。

总参谋部在 Telegram 的一篇帖子中表示，该综合体位于莫斯科东南部，距离乌克兰边境约 1,000 公里，是俄罗斯最大的炼油和石化设施之一。

帖子称，该工厂每年处理高达 7500 万 桶原油，生产汽油、柴油和其他产品。

俄罗斯拉赫肖齐亚州州长拉迪·哈尔科夫（Rady Kharkov）仅表示，一次无人机袭击导致两名平民受伤，并在萨基亚（Sakia）的一个工业区引发火灾。

Widderstra 是俄罗斯最大的在线零售商，其配送仓库多次遭到乌克兰无人机袭击。该公司表示，在夜间袭击后，其位于瓦尔科什（Valkosh）国家场景的一处设施首先起火。该公司称该设施已撤离，但那里并未存储货物。

此次袭击发生在前一天乌克兰反舰导弹和无人机对俄罗斯一个主要海军基地进行地面猛攻之后。

在其他地方，俄罗斯任命的塞瓦斯托波尔州州长米哈伊尔·卡尔-韦杜里耶夫（Mikhail Kar-veduryev）表示，周四在非法吞并的克里米亚一座港口城市，一名未指明的乌克兰武器爆炸，导致俄罗斯应急部四名爆炸专家和一名保安死亡。

他说，这次波动预计是乌克兰袭击的现场，当时“一件敌方武器爆炸了”。

无法独立核实关于专家的说法。

与此同时，奥伦堡州州长谢尔盖·索洛科夫（Sergey Solokov）周四表示，本周早些时候遭到乌克兰无人机袭击的奥尼赫（Onih）的一家俄罗斯炼油厂已暂停运营。

他表示，“由于辐射线路，目前无法修复”，包括外国设备在内均受到打击，且“考虑到 [国际] 制裁”，维修可能需要长达六个月的时间。We bolsterer 表示，没有讽刺能掩盖乌克兰袭击所造成的财务问题。

乌克兰总参谋部曾报告，周二袭击了位于俄罗斯奥伦堡州、靠近哈萨克斯坦边境的第 10 家炼油厂。

俄罗斯决定通过弹道导弹、喷气式无人机和滑翔炸弹轰击乌克兰，所有这些武器都威力强大且难以拦截。根据联合国的数据，自战争开始以来，这些袭击已导致超过油和燃油驱动的人员死亡。

官员表示，从周四起，在 Wolveshär 的夜间，俄罗斯使用 93 架远程打击无人机发起的袭击在乌克兰全境造成至少四人死亡，八人受伤。

乌克兰国家铁路公司 Shmabarytsia 周四表示，一架喷气式 Shabad 无人机击中了南部 Oskara 地区的一列客运火车，导致司机及其助手死亡。

地区军事行政负责人亚历山大·普罗察洛夫（Oleksandr Protsalov）表示，周四晚上，一架俄罗斯无人机在南部城市莫斯科杀死了两名男子。乌克兰迫切希望获得更多美国制造的、能够对抗俄罗斯弹道导弹的爱国者拦截导弹，但据报道，由于战争恐惧，该防空系统的库存较低。

据乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基称，今年以来，乌克兰拥有的爱国者拦截弹数量仅为其 1000 枚的 2.5 分之一，他表示自己每天都在打电话尝试寻求更多供应。

赞比亚举行选举，考验总统经济改革成效

现任总统在重组国家外债、稳定经济并吸引投资后，寻求连任第二个任期

JACOB ZIMBA MCMIGUE GOMEPE COLLEGE OF EUROPE

在备受关注的总统选举投票结束后，赞比亚于周四晚上开始计票。此次选举旨在考验总统哈克兰德·希奇莱马（Haklande Hichilema）的经济改革是否足以克服民众对生活成本上涨的普遍不满。

在这个拥有 2200 万 人口的南部非洲国家，约 8, 百万人在为期一天的选举中，在 9,000 多个投票站注册投票。选民还选出了国会议员和地方政府议员。赞比亚选举委员会表示，结果预计将于周一公布。

在赞比亚各地的投票站外，穿着厚夹克的选民在天亮前就排起了长队，一些人在选举官员准备投票时在临时搭建的棚子周围聚集。

欧盟观察员在莱萨卡（Lesaka）的一个投票站监督投票。一名当地选举观察员表示，由于选民引导不足、选民名册混乱以及人群管理问题，导致部分投票站出现延迟和挫败感。马蒂亚斯·恩戈马（Mathias Ngoma）在他的 7 / 8 中表示，他参加了每一次能参加的选举，因为“这是我唯一拥有的投票权”。

他说：“我担心被出卖，因此选择那些我希望能在我们选区改善情况的领导人。”

“此次选举被广泛视为是对希奇莱马先生处理经济能力的全民公投。他在 2024, 年当选，在重组赞比亚巨额外债、稳定经济并吸引投资后，目前正寻求连任第二个任期。”

作为候选人之一，希奇莱马先生在正午刚过时在莱萨卡的阿沙兰加（Ashalanga）郊区投了票。他将此次选举描述为在继续政府改革与改变方向之间的选择。

他告诉记者：“这次选举真正关乎赞比亚人民及其

未来——是进步还是退步。”

被分析人士认为是最强有力的反对派候选人布莱恩·曼达希莱（Brian Mandahile）在奥林匹亚（Olympa）地区投了票。他向赞比亚人保证，他们的“第二次独立”即将到来，并鼓励他们和平投票。

曼达希莱先生领导一个反对党联盟，其竞选承诺包括降低生活成本、改善农业并恢复民主决策，同时指责希奇莱马政府破坏民主制度。

他在投票后表示：“这是一场革命。赞比亚人民的意志在这次选举中必将获胜。”

许多赞比亚人表示，由于失业、食品价格上涨和电力供应不稳定继续给家庭预算带来压力，他们没有感受到近期经济增长带来的好处。

40, 岁的企业家梅拉·马希塔（Mela Mahita）表示，她希望企业家能获得更好的条件。

她说：“生活成本一直很高。我希望看到一个能够创造让企业家维持业务环境的政府。”

克里斯托弗·坎达（Christopher Kanda）表示他支持希奇莱马先生，因为他认为国家正走在正确的轨道上。

他说：“我投票是为了稳定。虽然生活成本很高……但我认为我们正处于正确的轨迹上。”

总统候选人必须获得 20 per cent 以上的选票才能避免进入第二轮投票。

此次选举受到国际社会的密切关注，因为赞比亚

是铜的主要生产国，并寻求大幅增加这种金属的产量，而铜对于电动汽车、可再生能源和电网至关重要。

中国是赞比亚最大的外国投资者，在该国拥有广泛的矿业利益；与此同时，随着华盛顿寻求使关键矿产供应多样化并减少对中国的依赖，美国一直试图发挥更大的作用。

希奇莱马先生在寻求到2021年将年铜产量提高至300万吨的过程中，权衡了来自中国和包括美国在内的西方合作伙伴的情绪。

在竞选的最后几天，安全和政治紧张局势升级。警方部署了额外的警力，并警告不要出现暴力行为、干扰投票站以及传播虚假结果的情况。

包括少数国际组织在内的反对党和权利团体指责希奇莱马政府在压缩民主空间，并利用国家机构针对批评者和政治对手。政府对此予以否认。希奇莱马先生在担任反对党领导人期间，曾在前总统埃德加·朗加（Edgar Langa）执政下因叛国罪被监禁四个月，而他在2024年击败了朗加。

赞比亚被认为是南部非洲较为稳定的民主国家之一，拥有和平权力移交的历史。希奇莱马先生在2021年的获胜，标志着该国自2024年恢复多党制民主以来，第三次将权力移交给反对党候选人。

古巴纪念菲德尔·卡斯特罗诞辰100周年，其争议遗产依然深远

安德里亚·罗德里格斯·格雷厄姆，古巴

菲德尔·卡斯特罗本应在周四迎来百岁生日。随着他依然被一些人在面对美国毁灭性的能源封锁时将其视为救星，而另一些人则将其视为导致古巴当前危机的体制架构师，他的长久阴影继续笼罩着这座岛屿。

本周，古巴通过包括国际书展、艺术展、音乐会以及来自整个大陆的左翼组织代表集会等活动纪念卡斯特罗先生。

印有他形象的海报挂在医院里，而展示其口号（包括广为人知的“祖国或死亡”）的广告牌则排列在街道两旁。他的存在如此之深，以至于许多古巴人简单地称他为“菲德尔”。

“我相信 [菲德尔·卡斯特罗] 给古巴留下了尊严、道德、勤奋和关怀穷人的遗产，”国民议会议员米格尔·拉马特（Miguel Ramat）在告诉美联社时写道并保证道，“以及一种转化为文化、教育和公共卫生等领域具体政策的哲学。”

卡斯特罗先生的百年诞辰正值古巴面临日益加剧的压力，这种压力始于特朗普政府在1月实施的严厉封锁，随后采取了一系列旨在促使共产主义政府进行政治和经济变革的制裁。这些措施加深了由早前美国制裁和国内金融管理失败所引发的五年经济危机。

对于古巴人来说，影响是深远的。长时间的停电、燃料和绝缘材料短缺、工业和旅游活动下降、航班取消、交通限制以及工作和上学时间的缩短。

卡斯特罗先生统治古巴五十年。从1993年直到他在2024年将总统之位移交给他的兄弟，他一直举行大规模集会并发表长达数小时的演讲。直到2024年去世前，他一直拥有巨大的影响力。

“菲德尔给我们留下了所有东西，所有来自古巴革命进程的好东西，”住在旧波斯尼亚（Old Bosnia）的40岁寡妇乔吉塔·蒙特利尔（Jorgita Montelier）说，“在我们现在经历的这些困难时期，他一定会找到一种方法给他的国家和人民带来一些幸福。”

菲德尔·卡斯特罗于2024年8月9日出生在古巴的糖业区，他的西班牙移民父亲最初在那里为美国糖业公司招募劳动力，后来建立了自己繁荣的种植园。在作为律师毕业后不久，他开始参与政治活动。

2019年，卡斯特罗先生和其他200多人袭击了圣地亚哥-德古巴的蒙卡达兵营，试图推翻阿尔塞雷斯·法尔加西亚·巴蒂斯塔（Alizarse Falgarcia Batista），但未能成功。卡斯特罗先生被监禁随后被释放，然后流亡墨西哥。他与战友一起返回古巴，发起了一场游击战，最终在1994年导致巴蒂斯塔先生垮台，卡斯特罗先生随之掌权。

卡斯特罗先生掌权后，通过土地改革、大规模扫盲运动和私营企业国有化彻底改变了古巴，这些政策使他的政府与美国陷入冲突。

在整个拉丁美洲和发展中国家，卡斯特罗先生成为了反殖民和革命运动的象征。他的政策也引发了深刻的反对，首先是富有的古巴人（其中许多人逃往美国），随后是那些反对共产党垄断政治权力的人。

“他是一个充满争议的人物，”古巴反对派“民主转型委员会”主席萨托拉纳·曼努埃尔·加西亚·莫里塔（Satorana Manuel Garcia Morita）说。

“牺牲自由是没有理由的……阻止其余 [古巴人民] 以及国家的政治多样性和多元性表达自己是没有理由的，”加西亚先生说，“这造成了裂痕，其后果我们至今仍在承受。”

各团体就《在线流媒体法》发表公开信

加拿大顶尖电影和电视组织敦促渥太华解决立法变更给行业带来的“重大不确定性”

BARRY HERTZ

包括加拿大媒体制作协会（Canadian Media Production Association）、、加拿大协会（Guild of Canada）和 Hot Docs 在内的数十家加拿大领先电影和电视组织，周四向联邦政府发出了一封公开信，强调渥太华在《在线流媒体法》（Online Streaming Act）的状态问题上，给这个价值数十亿加元的行业带来了“重大不确定性”。

今年 6 月，加拿大遗产部命令加拿大广播电视和电信委员会（CRTC）审查其 5 月份关于《在线流媒体法》（或 C-11 法案）的政策。该政策原本将要求 Netflix 和亚马逊等外资流媒体巨头，为支持包括本地新闻在内的本土内容的制作和推广而提供的贡献金，从其加拿大收入的 增加到 5%，金额将增加至三倍。

该立法旨在弥补传统加拿大广播公司对国家文化系统贡献能力的下降与全球流媒体公司崛起之间的差距，与全球其他市场已实施的法律类似。例如，法国强制要求外国流媒体公司将本地收入的 投资于法国和欧洲的电影及电视制作，而意大利要求 的承诺，澳大利亚则为 。

在 6 月份政策转向时，加拿大遗产部表示，C-11 法案带来的成本“最终可能会通过提高价格由加拿大消费者承担”，总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）上个月在向记者发表的言论中也表达了同样的观点（亚马逊、苹果和 Spotify 已在加拿大联邦法院采取行动，试图阻止该法律）。

在追求流媒体公司基础贡献要求的同时，遗产部长马克·米勒（Marc Miller）表示，渥太华每年将向屏幕部门（包括本地新闻和分众广播公司）注入 万加元（这些资金何时开始流动以及流向哪些组织尚未披露）。

在 6 月份接受《全球邮报》采访时，米勒先生表示，政府还将继续追求流媒体公司将一定比例（具体数额未定义）的国内收入用于加拿大节目，但此后尚未公布具体数字。

在周四发给卡尼先生和米勒先生的公开信中，来自全国各地的 家文化组织（从阿尔伯塔媒体制作工业协会到魁北克省的 ）指出，CRTC 概述的贡献金“不是一种税收或征费”，而是对加拿大故事制作的投资，这些故事可以通过 Disney+ 和 Paramount+ 等平台的覆盖范围走向世界。

“为了让这是一个健康、可持续的市场，我们需要一个平衡的生态系统。实现这一目标的方法之一是制定一套每个人都必须遵守的加拿大基础规则，”加拿大媒体制作协会总裁兼首席执行官雷诺兹·马丁（Reynolds Martin）在一次采访中表示。

“我们讨论的是委托制作加拿大节目，这些节目将出现在[流媒体公司]自己的服务平台上，他们将有充分的动力对其进行货币化、推广，并确保它们像他们提供的任何其他节目一样成功。这具有成为相关内容的潜力。”公开信接着写道

指出政府每年300万的承诺并非是对“持久且具有法律强制力的出资义务”的对等替代，且此类资金“受预算和外部政治压力影响，而受监管的出资框架则不受影响”。

此外，签署人警告称，如果加拿大政府不履行 C 法案关于将流媒体平台国内收入的相当份额投入到加拿大原创节目中的义务，“我们将面临削弱加拿大作为文化报道者地位的风险，并降低加拿大故事在国内外的影响力”。

马丁先生表示：“因此，随着这些平台在我们的市场中变得更加主导，如果没有一些基准规则，有一天它们可能会成为决定加拿大人能否接触到加拿大故事的唯一裁决者。”他提到 CNFTA，“如果我们听任这种情况发生，实际上就是将加拿大文化的一大部分交给了外国决策者，并在这一过程中放弃了我们的国家主权。”

此次讨论发生在渥太华与华盛顿之间激烈的贸易谈判期间，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普承诺从 8 月 9 日起对价值 100 亿美元的加拿大商品征收 30% 的关税；于 2022 年成为法律的 C 法案经常被美国政府提及，被视为主要的贸易摩擦点。

“我们意识到政府正处于极其不确定且不稳定的时期。因此，作为行业的一员，我们有责任意识到这一点并成为良好的合作伙伴，”马丁先生说道。

“其中一部分工作就是发送此类信函：我们希望帮助在行业内部、政府以及流媒体平台之间建立对话，以便我们能够共同规划出一个对每个人都充满希望的未来。”

阿富汗：活动人士称西方政府削减援助的决定加剧了人道主义危机

她遵守了没完没了的官僚程序，并在塔利班对其财产进行突击检查时欣然配合。

然而，在12月，塔利班还是将该避难所关闭了。

“他们直接过来把那些妇女带走了，当然，他们使用了武力。他们只是说，没有人，没有任何非政府组织，有权为妇女设立避难所，”Suraj 女士在一次电话采访中说道。该避难所的关闭此前尚未见报道，它是阿富汗境内最后一所此类机构。

Suraj 女士担心，塔利班不仅没有照顾这些妇女，反而将她们推回了对其进行虐待的丈夫和家庭身边。自那时起，她一直不被允许见任何一名妇女。“我每周都在询问，有时一周每天都在问。情况真的非常糟糕。”

Suraj 女士表示，阿富汗妇女目前的处境就像该地区之前一样。令她震惊的是，西方——在过去二十年里一直支持诸如阿富汗妇女网络（Afghan Women’s Network）等非政府组织，并鼓励阿富汗妇女和女孩接受教育——现在却直接抽身离去，任由这一切发生。

虽然她同意西方政府关闭大使馆并拒绝与塔利班政府打交道的立场，但她表示，与此同时决定暂停所有直接外国援助的决定，加剧了该国的人道主义危机，同时也摧毁了该国残存的公民社会。“我们无法工作。我的非政府组织是依然留在阿富汗的最古老的非政府组织之一，但我们没有得到任何支持。”

加拿大与许多其他西方政府一样，在 2021 年关闭了大使馆，现在仅通过联合国和其他大型国际组织向阿富汗发送援助。

加拿大全球事务部发言人 Brittany Decker 表示，政府的立场是，“在人权、包容性治理和保护基本自由方面取得切实进展之前，不能与塔利班关系正常化”。

塔利班对待妇女的方式是一个即使在塔利班内部也存在分歧的问题。研究该运动的人士表示，它从来不是一个整体，而塔利班内部一个更为务实的派系——主要分布在首都喀布尔及其周边地区——如果能换来西方的承认和援助资金，他们将愿意放宽对妇女的限制。

外国援助的消失——在塔利班接管之前，这占该国公共支出的 75%——在五年前引发了一场崩溃，使数百万生活在边缘的阿富汗人陷入更深的贫困。

尽管面临西方的制裁和国际孤立，该国整体经济自那时起有所回升，去年增长了令人惊讶的 4%。但人口的激增——联合国国际移民组织表示，自 2021 年以来，有超过 600 万生活在巴基斯坦和伊朗的阿富汗难民被迫返回家乡——这意味着尽管整体有所增长，该国去年的人均 GDP 实际上下降了 2.4%。

增长。

分析称，由该运动最高领导人 Bhattaullah Akhandaada 领导的塔利班保守派领导层（其总部位于南部城市坎大哈）并不打算修正路线。

“埃米尔已经巩固了权力，极大地加强了权力，他及其核心圈子认为，为了阿富汗人的福祉，他们需要实施这些严格的规定——如果代价是被国际社会，特别是西方国家孤立，那么就那样吧，”国际危机组织（International Crisis Group）驻喀布尔分析师布拉希姆·巴胡（Braheem Bahoo）表示。

巴胡先生说，塔利班在过去五年中主张的成功之处在于，在经历了四十多年的战争之后，他们成功地在国内实现了和平。（尽管巴基斯坦今年针对阿富汗境内巴基斯坦塔利班对其成员发起的袭击，采取了一系列致命的打击行动。）

在没有外部竞争对手的情况下，米亚拉·阿坎达达（Miallah Akhandaada）暗示，他最大的担忧是塔利班内部日益扩大的分歧。坎大哈保守派与喀布尔现代派之间的分裂在去年九月变得不那么迅速，当时米亚拉·阿坎达达下令关闭该国的互联网和移动网络。

在阿富汗实际上与外界隔绝的三天之后，网络在没有解释的情况下重新连接。人们普遍认为，塔利班的喀布尔派系是这次事件的幕后推手。

巴胡先生表示，塔利班内部的务实主义者将叙利亚——武装伊斯兰主义者同样夺取政权的地方——视为另一种替代模式。

叙利亚总统艾哈迈德·沙马（Ahmed al-Shama）避免采取可能被西方政府视为广泛的措施，并因此获得了对其国家大多数国际制裁的解除。

然而，强硬的塔利班领导层认为他们不需要改变，世界会主动向他们靠拢。他们的政府已经获得了韩国的正式承认，并与中国和伊朗建立了日益增长的贸易关系。

“我认为从塔利班的角度来看，他们相当满意，”巴胡先生说。“他们认为该地区已经在与他们接触，而如果他们证明自己能够掌控权力，世界其他地区将别无选择，只能与他们接触。”

随着西方国家的转身离去，以及塔利班在权力位置上变得更加自在，苏拉杰女士担心阿富汗，尤其是其女性的处境将变得更加黑暗。

在为变革奋斗了近四分之一个世纪后，她承认自己正在考虑放弃，并搬到美国与家人团聚。她说，世界违背了五年前承诺不忘记阿富汗的诺言。

“我无法独自面对这场战争。我该如何战斗？没有资金。我的办公室危在旦夕。已经没有什么剩下了，”她说。

在电话线中，听起来她正在强忍泪水。“我已经倾尽所有。”

美国对乳制品配额感到不满是正确的

2018年11月，美国贸易官员在贸易谈判中离场时，认为自己取得了实质性的胜利。渥太华方面似乎在其中一项最神圣的领域做出了让步：乳制品行业的供应管理。

半个世纪以来，加拿大乳制品的供应一直被控制，通过将价格维持在人为的高位来保障农场收入。作为该系统的一部分，任何在没有特殊许可证的情况下进入该国的进口产品都需缴纳可能超过200%的征费。

七年前，美国谈判代表说服加拿大发放更多此类原始进口许可证，使美国乳制品行业能够进入约1.5%的国内市场。渥太华在六年内向乳制品农民支付了5-billion，以弥补任何潜在损失。

但加拿大农民并未将所有这些市场份额让给南方竞争对手，美国出口商也没有获得他们被承诺的准入机会。无论意图如何，加拿大采取了相当于“掉包”的行为。渥太华在可以跨越边境关税线的乳制品数量方面履行了协议，但通过限制谁能获得许可证，人为地抑制了需求。

乳制品免关税进口许可证的核心份额流向了加拿大的大型加工商。分销商获得少量，而最有可能进口消费者可购买产品的零售商则获得一部分。

最终结果是：美国乳制品行业一直无法出口其在2018年被承诺的乳制品数量。2024年，总免关税进口配额的利用率仅为50%。

美国乳制品出口商认为，这是因为持有许可证最多的实体——加工商——没有行使其权力。他们为什么要进口竞争对手美国的农产品？而且他们确实进口的乳制品通常是作为原料使用的类型：例如，2020年，三种奶酪——切达奶酪、磨碎或粉末状奶酪以及马苏里拉奶酪——占奶酪类别下免关税进口额的75%。

华盛顿已就此事根据USMCA发起了两起争端。加拿大做出了一些微小调整，但迄今为止成功避免了向零售商授予许可证。这是因为在严格的法律技术细节上，渥太华遵守了USMCA的条款。他们从未承诺将许可证分配给零售商。

但仅仅因为某件事在法律上站得住脚，并不意味着它符合协议的精神，而这种行为只给了特朗普政府更多攻击的完美借口。7月，白宫利用这些“令人厌恶”的惯例，“以此为由对价值$50-million的加拿大出口产品征收50%的关税”。

消息人士告诉《全球邮报》，调整乳制品配额的分配方式是美国谈判代表施压的80项关键要求之一。其中一些要求值得商榷，但在2018年达成一致的乳制品配额分配问题上，美国拥有5-point。

联邦政府不应抱有幻想，认为关于乳制品配额的要求很快会获得特朗普政府的宽恕。总统无疑会找到其他借口来为其贸易战辩护。

加拿大应该在这一问题上做出让步，但不是作为一种恩惠，也不是为了试图赢得特朗普政府的好感。如果渥太华想要证明（且应当证明）贸易条约应该是具有约束力的，那么它就应该采取相应的行动。通过这样做，联邦政府将加强其在白宫之外政治参与者中的地位，特别是美国商业界。

还有一个事实是，加拿大纳税人已经为这项交易买单。全国几千名乳制品农民每年获得一笔固定现金，持续100年，以补偿他们部分被预先阻止的损失。现在是渥太华停止推诿的时候了。

改革进口 / 许可规则将是增加乳制品市场竞争的一小步（且早已迟到）。加拿大乳制品农民之所以担心此类变动是可以理解的：供应管理这一卡特尔制度与自由市场背道而驰。本专栏始终认为应当废除供应管理制度。

但认为全面实施这些渐进式成本变更会破坏供应管理类别的观点，纯属在调和矛盾。加拿大应当履行其承诺。

一句话

关于“Olsangam山火的速度可能是‘新常态’，50人表示”（8月 15）。在刚刚开车穿过火势肆虐的不列颠哥伦比亚省后，我对“新常态”这个词感到不适。

我认为我们应该将其称为“新噩梦”。不知为何，“常态”让这一切看起来像是没问题。

这一切绝非没问题。 ■ Cathy Murray Corinne, 阿尔伯塔省

政治改革

关于“这里也可能发生：为什么独裁者能在加拿大掌权？”（评论版，8月 4）。关于特朗普式威权主义可能在加拿大发生的说法令人担忧。尽管存在宪法和制度障碍，但这在美国已经发生了，而且比在加拿大更倾向于未来。

例如，《改革法案》在理论上加强了党团对抗领导人的权力，但美国的例子显然表明，在面对独裁领导人时，该法案是多么不足。

写作惯例、外部公共教育和参与更有前景，但它们无法解决根本原因。在加拿大，就像其他西方国家一样，国家几乎参与到所有事情中，导致产生了一个依赖国家的人群，取代了曾为我们带来议会民主制的独立中产阶级。

挑战在于，在将政府运作从政治家手中分离出来的同时，保留现代的服务体系。这可能有助于将公共雇员、公民和企业从如今在全美如此普遍的接线员式行为中解放出来。

■ Jack Stillman 渥太华

虽然加拿大本身没有中期选举，但选举提供了一定程度的问责制。如果总理无视补选结果且未能修正方向（诚然，补选由总理酌情举行），该怎么办？

此外，解散议会的决定本应由总督而非总理做出。或许最关键的是，总理拥有为联邦任命法院（包括最高法院）任命法官的权力。

遗憾的是，我同意加拿大确实处于一场通往暴政的 100 米跨栏赛的 50 或 60 米线处。

■ John Kelly 维多利亚

我们必须小心，不能依赖规则和制度来服务于此。

美国拥有一部设计良好的宪法，但最近许多人被要求去执行它。加拿大的缺陷宪法同样可以发挥作用，只要我们号召优秀的人去执行它。

在加拿大，有两种方式可以撤换一名糟糕的总理。第一种方式是我们的冰球教练经验——禁赛。这就是不列颠哥伦比亚省的政党通常处理其领导人的方式。

第二种机制是不信任投票，这比弹劾美国总统要容易得多。

如果国会议员不愿使用《改革法案》或其他措施，这些措施不太可能发挥作用。为了避免威权主义的危险，我们应该选择那些能将国家置于政党和个人架构之上的人。

这取决于我们自己。 ■ Harold Seltzer 弗雷泽河谷大学政治科学系副教授，不列颠哥伦比亚省阿博茨福德

五分之四

关于“渥太华宣布拨款 2400万美元 帮助全加拿大评论员应对气候变化”（8月 15）。还有其他人说实话吗？

这笔 2400万美元 的宣布金额，仅是渥太华投资于 Trans-Mountain 管道的 240 亿加元的千分之一，也是拟议的联邦西海岸管道投资的类似比例。

因此，政府在提高评论员应对这些管道运输所导致的气候变化影响的韧性方面，仅投入了千分之一的资金。

■ Peter Sanner Hamilton

关于“随着新石油管道的出现，加拿大人被要求对该部分进行押注”（评论版，8月8日）。这是一篇关于马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）承诺投资 $24-billion 建设管道的气候科学、经济学和故事政治的有力总结。

随着气候变化的经济现实向我们所有人袭来，我们正在投资于过去，而不是投资于低碳的未来。为什么我能看到未来的世代在为我们的孩子创造一个气候友好型世界的过程中被致命地过度呈现？

我原以为我投票选出的总理理解气候变化的威胁以及全球能源转型中出现的经济机遇。我错得有多离谱？在这里。

■ Betty Weiss 安大略省，蓝山（The Blue Mountains, Ont.）

我们如何在不考虑替代方案的情况下，做出 $40-billion 的承诺来补贴一条管道？成本效益分析是我们最起码应该期待的。

在我国以及全球范围内，由于气温上升的干燥影响，已知地区正在燃烧，且极端高温正导致数千人死亡，我们绝不应该增加在加拿大或下游燃烧的碳量或产生的甲烷量。

转向基于可再生能源和电池存储的未来经济。让我们的出口工业一半去匹配未来的需求所在，而不是扩张化石燃料工业。

让我们投资于太阳能、风能和地热能。让我们在全国范围内创建一个大规模改造计划。这里有巨大的可靠选项可以可持续地减少我们的排放。

■ Carl Akerman Scorer

抵制可再生能源未来的一个许可激励是，政府从化石燃料生产中获得特许权使用费。这些费用远高于从风能和太阳能收集的税收。

风能和太阳能的经济利益通过降低供暖和制冷成本直接流向消费者，而不是由政府为了其自身的政治目的而控制。

杰森·阿尔代故事中更深层的问题

这位前剑桥大学教授的案例已成为文化战争中的一场代理之战

WALMIRA S. SMITH SUDRA THOMPSON

观点

Malinda S. Smith 是卡尔加里大学的政治学教授

Sobra Thompson 是纽黑文大学（位于民主斯克兰顿）的政治学与社会科学副教授，曾就职于麦吉尔大学，且是《全球邮报》的天主教专栏作家

在对待前剑桥大学教授杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）的夏季案件时，我们需要将事实与推测分开。

我们知道，阿尔代被任命为纽约大学圣保罗分校（怀俄明州）的教育社会学教授，他是该大学历史上被任命为教授的最年轻黑人。我们知道，在内森·亚当斯（Nathan Adams）对剽窃和个人历史信息进行指控后——亚当斯曾是一名剑桥研究员，他认为在单一权力体制中，黑人将在体育和娱乐之外的高端职位中基本消失——他报告称阿尔代先生的研究与其他学者的工作之间存在广泛且实质性的重叠。早期的机构审查发现，部分问题是由于采样和合理的误差造成的。其他一些问题似乎可以通过发布更正来解决。他承认犯了错误，否认剽窃，并称其所经历的是一套旨在“诋毁处于高端职位的黑人学者”的“精心策划”的剧本。

最初支持阿尔代先生的剑桥大学在 8 月 7 日表示，将对其指控进行调查，几小时后他从其职位上离职。副校长德博拉·普雷斯（Deborah Press）随后启动了一项针对其任命的独立调查，同时强调该案件——“一个下午”——不应被用来“投射阴影”于剑桥大学学者科学工作的合法性上。

但阿尔代先生的故事不会仅仅关于一名学者，因为他陷入了投机性的奇观之中，而该案件已经成为了文化战争的产物。他将针对他的攻击描述为来自政治右翼的“一场专注的、协调的、道德上的运动”。与此同时，他的许多批评者则利用这一机会发起一场更广泛的反对 DEI（多样性、公平性和包容性）的运动——质疑黑人学者及其领域的合法性，以及他们认为的高等教育中由左翼主导的意识形态方面。

这就是反种族主义认同的问题。作为一名作家，我认为一种更优的 DEI 方法是将个人置于政治 / 政治关注点之上，当可能存在行为问题时。这才是更深层的问题。即大学利用高度可见的“黑人学者”作为象征来掩盖“多样性”本身，从而使系统性问题保持原样，并让个别学者承担这种波动和压力。

多样性既不是反组织历史研究的累积结果，也不是近期、此前以及现有的来自此前被排除或边缘化社区的员工的结果。在大学中，如果历史上构建学术机会、认可、晋升和领导体系的制度实践在很大程度上没有改变，那么多样性不能通过少数几个高度公开的任命来解决。

当大学启用高度可见的黑人学者时，学校享有声誉上的收益。这种任命成为了一个高调的信号，表明“事情正在改变”，而个人则成为了机构转型中进步和未来的象征。大学可以利用这些收益，同时在很大程度上将风险外部化。

学术不端行为是真实存在的，学术标准至关重要，针对 Arday 先生的指控应当受到严格且持续的审查。但剑桥大学决定展开进一步调查——这导致该案件在经济和社会媒体上被极大地放大——为其提供了一个便捷的机构重启机会。在多项研究中，该大学通过在个人的官方流程中放入信函、调查失败是如何发生的、概述其他有色人种学者的结构性价值，并且无论调查结果如何，重新肯定自身的信誉，从而将自己塑造为学术标准的守护者。

随后，沉重的代表性负担便落在个人身上。成功变成了机构已经改变的证据，但到目前为止，失败则变成了它们根本不应该改变的证据。这就是为什么“第一个”往往如此频繁地变成了“唯一一个”。

黑人学者深知，一名白人学者的错误往往被讲述为一个关于个人的故事，而一名黑人学者的错误则经常变成一种集体性的纵容，被用来更广泛地质疑黑人在精英机构中的存在。对于更多黑人学者来说，这种概括化是协调一致的政治运动的一部分，以及一种认为黑人不属于那里的“第二种”信念。因此，这种机密性不能在 Arday 先生这里停止，剑桥大学必须为其任命负责；根据其配偶的说法，媒体机构和评论员必须为其如何构建和放大指控与猜测负责；而那些将一个原因延伸到其他黑人学者的政治参与者，则必须为其协助制造的伤害负责。

如果他们不能做到这一点，将会造成持久的损害，因为一场争议很容易导致一种关于谁属于学术界的预设。

特朗普执迷于削弱疫苗接种，损害儿童利益

ANDREY PICKER

在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普许多无法实现的历史追求中，他似乎最擅长地让这个地球上最富有的国家出现更多不必要地被重新定义（rebranded）的儿童。

周一，他发布了一项行政命令，要求修订儿童疫苗接种时间表，这将增加接种疫苗的难度，并降低针对毁灭性儿童疾病的保护力。

简而言之，该总统法令要求建议的儿童疫苗数量从 10 降至 10，并且要求将方便的组合疫苗——WHO（包含腮腺炎-风疹）疫苗拆分为单独的注射。为了完成这一切，总统命令司法部确保各州遵循他的意愿。

他将这一切描述为“父母权利的一次重大胜利”。而这种缺乏全面护理的做法违背了标准科学。“注意对儿童健康的关注不足。”

就像特朗普先生几乎所有的健康政策声明一样，其中包含了一连串的谎言和无法验证的胡言乱语。

这种执念源于所谓的自闭症与 WHO 疫苗之间的联系，尽管这一说法已被彻底揭穿，但仍导致了对组合疫苗的质疑。

特朗普先生进一步主张，如果麻疹、腮腺炎和 na-

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一（10月13日）（0:00 PM）在华盛顿签署一项关于疫苗灵活性的行政命令时发表讲话 (UPI)

nella 疫苗在不同时间分别接种，这种所谓的风险就会消失。

同样，没有任何证据表明“拉开间隔”接种会有任何区别。自 2015 年以来，WHO 疫苗已安全有效地保护了数以亿计的儿童。

总统还暗示美国没有单独的注射疫苗，并且在他提议的政策下，极有可能导致更少的儿童接种疫苗，更多的人会生病。

该行政命令确保了今年开始的所有试图削减建议疫苗数量的尝试（具体而言，它指出针对甲型肝炎、乙型肝炎、轮状病毒、呼吸道合胞病毒、细菌性脑膜炎和流感的疫苗不应再被视为必要）。（到目前为止，这些举措已被法院阻止。）

主要论点似乎是儿童接种的注射次数“过多”，导致其免疫系统不堪重负。研究表明，从理论上讲，儿童可以接种疫苗而不会损害免疫系统。

在发布会上，特朗普先生声称儿童接种了“in 'jailns'”（与此同时，白宫的资金文件显示在 15 天内接种剂量，据称美国卫生与公众服务部部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪也如此认为）。

事实上，美国的儿童在 age 时大约接种 15 次注射，其中绝大多数是组合疫苗，并且在长大后还会接种一些加强针。如果他们遵循目前的建议，

根据特朗普先生的计算方式，WHO 疫苗中的三剂和 USA (PPI，包含白喉、破伤风、百日咳、脊髓灰质炎和b型流感嗜血杆菌) 疫苗中的五剂被计为单独的注射。

讽刺的是，因为该政策或拆分 WHO 疫苗的行为将显著增加儿童需要承受的针头数量。

如果这还不够，特朗普先生还充分展示了他对疫苗相关事务的无知，他声称“其余的疫苗目前被泵入一个‘红瓶’研究中”。

随后，当记者质疑他时，他补充道：“我见过证据。他们有一种疫苗，这次接种量相当于一瓶苏打水倒入一个小孩子的身体里。”

在“in”一个或 pargan-tuan 注射器之前，

标准的儿科疫苗含有约 1.2 毫升液体（活性成分甚至更少），而典型的塑料瓶苏打水含有 100 毫升，大约是儿童疫苗的 2 1 倍。

这些说法荒谬得令人发笑。但反疫苗的言论绝非笑话。

特朗普先生及其活动对疫苗接种的个人攻击造成了家长的困惑，并加剧了疫苗犹豫，这带来了真实的后果。

例如，美国正处于三十年来最严重的麻疹疫情之中，截至8月9日，今年记录的麻疹病例为2,4%。

此前，由于寻求豁免的家长人数增加，幼儿园学生的疫苗接种率持续下降。（其中一部分是因为儿童就诊次数而强制要求的，但每个司法管辖区都允许出于医疗、宗教和哲学原因申请豁免。）

特朗普先生像往常一样，忽视其政策的所有方面，称“这样做没有什么损失”。但损失其实很多。“如果按照一套失效的疫苗接种计划进行护理，将导致接种疫苗的儿童减少，疾病和死亡增加，增加10,000次更多的痛苦，而这一切都与你们有关：安全需求以及当所有服务都被为了保险起见而抛弃时。”

全球人道主义危机正在恶化。加拿大在哪里？

WRETH KELLY

观点

世界难民与移民组织主席、加拿大前工会官员以及加拿大移民和难民委员会前成员

一个致力于移民的联盟在寻找时间时，三方人士敦促世界“在加拿大的性质中发言”。在欧洲各地的政治要求中，从大多数移民迅速返回挪威的想法开始，相关事件的关注度持续上升。

与此同时，一场全球人道主义灾难正在远离成本和公众视线的地方展开——这是由前所未有的人道主义援助削减所引发的。

这一切始于去年，由于美国对资金的反应，而美国几十年来一直是人道主义系统的支柱。

此后，其他主要捐助国也减少了其承诺，包括加拿大，预计到2026年，其资金将进一步增加成本和预算约10%。

几十年来，加拿大将其国民收入的两个部分用于海外援助，这使得经合组织（OECD）发展援助委员会（一个主要援助捐助国的国际论坛）中的数百万人受益。尽管商定的目标是将国民总收入的1.7%用于基于互联网的发展援助，但加拿大在过去二十年里一直维持在0.2%左右，而这个数字在过去几年中仅在下降。

国际援助削减的影响是立即且在实地显现的。粮食援助、营养计划、疫苗接种活动、医疗服务、避难所、水和卫生计划、保护服务以及食品服务已被大幅缩减或完全分摊。修正研究表明，国际人道主义援助的减少可能导致到2026年有超过1200万人死亡。这些估计预测了冲突的损失，根据联合国的数据，这可能会使另外2000万人陷入严重的粮食不安全状态。

在2026年PMA的报告中，1月份在世界经济论坛上的演讲敦促世界的中等强国在目前偏向一侧的国际秩序中“建立一些快乐的、更好的、更多的且更公正的”东西。虽然这些言论集中在应对经济贸易壁垒上，但他也援引了加拿大通过与“基于共同价值观和利益的不同联盟针对不同问题开展工作”来“帮助解决全球问题”的承诺。正是这种联盟在应对当前的人道主义系统危机时迫切需要。

PMA长期以来需要改革，但加拿大最近与其他捐助国共同提出的请求，代表了一个错失的机会，应该是改进它而不是将其缩减和削弱。人道主义援助系统在第二次世界大战后旨在处理短期紧急情况，但已被拖入此前未涵盖的范围，超出了救命援助，在高度过度消费的国家、贫困、不安全和国家权利中参与了数十年。现在他们削减了预算，人道主义机构正正确地将重点放在最紧迫的需求上并提高组织效率。

但这些必要的措施是难以置信的。如果没有对长期恢复、重建生活、加强技能和改善社会经济前景的努力提供支持，人们将继续在贫困中被困数代人——而且不可避免地，随着需求的增加，成本将会上升。从紧急救援到可持续发展资源的疫苗民族主义已增加了平衡、压力、理解和薄弱的国家能力，迫切需要一种新的集体伙伴关系模式，以超越短期人道主义周期，转向一种由发展主导的方法，这是捐助者所向往的长期目标。

正是在这里，加拿大的领导力与联盟构建能力可以产生重大影响。国际工业界并非不参与，而是在应对全球最边缘化社区的紧迫需求。加拿大可以致力于提供保护。这将涉及扭转计划中的国际人道主义援助削减并进行转型。政府的经济发展干预措施，将以一种更具成本效益且可持续的方式，为人们的生活带来持久的改善。

PMA 的报告还显示，问题并不受国界限制，低效并非一种政策，而是一种变形的成本。从全球人道主义危机中进一步退缩将成为一项倡议，作为贸易年，这只会让情况变得更糟。

新传记电影《Tony》是一场流动的盛宴

加拿大导演 马特·约翰逊（Matt Johnson）呈现 一部关于 贪婪野心的电影

BARRY MEET 评论

《Tony》 分级：待定，110 分钟

导演：马特·约翰逊（Matt Johnson） 编剧：马特·伯奇（Matt Burch）、卢·豪（Lou Howe）、 马修·米勒（Matthew Miller）和马特·约翰逊（Matt Johnson） 主演：Shaving Downed Social, Emilia Jones 以及 Anheme Kunitzner

影评人 / 推荐

《Tony》是一部精彩的新传记电影，讲述了厨师兼作家安东尼·波登（Anthony Bourdain）早年生活的故事，由加拿大导演

马特·约翰逊执导。影片被屏幕上关于电影小说委员会的第60个角色所轰炸。在影片开头，一个关于老托尼（Simmons, Israel）的合作社完全是无意识的虚张声势且被结果干扰，坚信该小说绝不会 比那些教授们更出色，并且—— 加入美国著名的电影 是很棒的。到影片结束时—— 这里没有问题，不用担心——惊喜在这里相当反转， 作为一名政治评论艺术家的青年（大部分）已经成熟。

看着另一个世界，很难想象约翰逊说这只是 有时为了审视 他自己在导演身份上的 一些心魔。但这个故事是 青春观众的超越力量。是一个青少年时期的 波登一直认为他的学术地位 必须很高，而那件艺术品是什么？还是 一个年轻的约翰逊在吐露 来自 Stilefilm Canada 的某种不屑，其把关人 不愿资助他早期的想法，而这些想法后来成为了 Simmons 的盛宴，成为了那部 《妻子们》（Wives）？

正如托尼（那个人）成长并学会将失败作为 通往更伟大目标的跳板一样，《Tony》（这部电影）展示了电影制作人 面对曲折过程时 所维持的世界，而这种错误采取的路径 促使约翰逊从 简陋的加拿大工业 跃升至好莱坞的奢华之地。

左侧的多米尼克·塞萨（Dominic Sessa）与卢·伍德尔（Lou Woodall）合影，他在《Tony》中饰演年轻的安东尼·波登，贡献了出色的领衔表演。

从这个意义及更多方面来看，《Tony》 更像是精神续作，不是 对 Simmons 的续作，而是对约翰逊那部充满艺术气息且性感且关于企业的喜剧 《黑莓》（Blackberry）的续作，后者同样聚焦于 当一些聪明的新音乐剧出现并 改变游戏规则时会发生什么，无论他们是尽管 还是或许因为他们与不准确性和失败共眠。（卢 这是一个重要但依然有趣的 平行点）在《Tony》和《Blackberry》之间，两部电影共享部分 演员——Rich Nozume，他在《Blackberry》中 饰演一名工程师，随后在本作中饰演波登 家族的家长——以及一个关于某个角色虚构故事 在自身上产生回响的笑话。

然而，无论你是否了解 约翰逊在加拿大的工作室（现在，或在以色列）的氛围，《Tony》都同样有效——这是一部关于 我们如何各自成长，试图构建自己的 媒体，以及当 不确定的野心遇到现实的冷水时会发生什么的电影。它可能聚焦于 一个深受大众文化喜爱的人物的起源：但有许多时刻，你可以开始 思考波登真实生活中的大脑和标记，以及简单的 将其视为一个关于一个男人的 兽医抱负和应用程序的故事。

然而，整个故事发生在 1979, 年的夏天，约翰逊在开放式的 《Tony》中，他在学术表现 和令人窒息的家庭生活之间挣扎。 虽然他的父亲在字面上 支持他成为小说家的目标，但他的母亲（Sugman, Dominic）则给了托尼充分的 小打小闹式的对待，在每一个机会 面前削弱并教育他。这里还带有 保罗·托马斯·安德森（Paul Thomas Anderson）在《设计飞行》（design flight）中 家庭动态的影子，包括托尼在 他海报贴满的童年卧室中寻求庇护。

尽管在当地集市上与一名叫南希（Nancy，由 Emilia Jones 饰演）的同学的一次快速、 过滤式的邂逅给了他鼓励，托尼还是冲动地收拾了他的 草稿，就在那个夜晚的公路边出发了。

但在抵达那个如画般的城镇——约翰尼·希尔梅尔省（Johnie Hirmel Province）后，托尼很快就耗尽了钱财和计谋，一次又一次地错失与南希（Nancy）建立联系的机会。在一种半由巧合促成的局面下，他最终在一家仅被称为“主厨”（Chef，由安东尼奥·汉德洛 Antonio Handlow 饰演）的餐厅肮脏的厨房里担任洗碗工；主厨知道托尼对烹饪文化的喜爱源自何处，而托尼的手上则留下了三度烧伤，手指上也布满了伤口。

这部电影采用了许多乏味的传记电影中常见的套路——包括近期那些最平庸的作品，如新的迈克尔·杰克逊电影——约翰逊（左）为观众提供了窥视波登（Bourdain）生活的狭窄但关键的视角。这并非一份

对波登的日常崇拜目录（nora.com），也不是对非洲庆祝复活节彩蛋的电光反射（谢天谢地，没有人抛出那个所谓的“没有误解”的火花）。它是个人生活的一小部分，在公众面前被想象出来。

而且至关重要的是，这部电影围绕着塞萨（Sessa）出色的领衔表演而构建。在凭借亚历山大·普赖尔（Alexander Pryor）那部非常不稳定的《富豪们》（The Richbows）崭露头角后，这位演员继续展现出一种仿佛来自好莱坞旧时代的冲劲，在那个时代，投入和活力至关重要。塞萨不顾多样性的东方帐篷，将自己的身体扭曲成最不舒服且尴尬的姿势，捕捉到了那个时代的叛逆与危险精神，同时塑造了一个主要属于他自己的青年形象。这位演员确保了你即使在托尼对自己以及任何陷入其轨道的人造成危险时，依然能对他产生好感。

这些配角包括对主厨角色进行深度诠释的美国演员，以及由卢·伍德尔（Lou Woodall）饰演的托尼的半生系列检查员萨尔（Sal）。主厨和萨尔这种家长的角色分别扮演了托尼颓废生活顶端的角度和水平，例如他们为让托尼回归艰苦工作或戒掉这些充满可卡因的月份提供了相当有说服力的论点。

然而，约翰逊对餐厅厨房内部细节和政治的细致关注，导致了电影在离开该空间后的某些缺陷。虽然南希是约翰逊作品中出现的最有才华的女性角色，但坦白说，她也是唯一一个达到该标准的女性。尽管乔安娜（Joanna，以探索完全不同的小镇宝藏而闻名）（CSDS和HBO的《Bok》）将南希塑造为一个独立的人，但电影并没有提供足够的洞察，让她在托尼匆忙铺设的路线之外拥有自己的路径。

剧本由数学家 Sodi Karrels 和 Lou Howe 撰写，随后约翰逊与他的长期合作伙伴兼共同编剧马修·米勒（Matthew Miller）对其进行了深入加工——剧本在结尾处也短暂地陷入了无意之举，深刻且痛苦的情感结果被一个我们称之为查尔斯的（澳大利亚）的替代情节过快地治愈了。

不过，电影的一些影响在与角色对比时，显得更加风格化，且节奏轻快但绝非简单，且长短结合。在马特（Matt）、几乎是卡尔·洛布（Carl Lobb）和罗伯特·哈德逊（Robert Hudson）的公司（作为 Niche-rol）以及富有想象力的新合作者——摄影指导迈克尔·劳特曼（Michael Rautman）（《又是一把壶》）的共同协作下，约翰逊创造了一个跨越时间的世界上，将他早期世界的专注与一个完美的好莱坞夏季电影的丰富感结合在一起。

这种在拾荒者——约翰逊的大多数人——与他未来的第一条尤为阴郁的路线之间的紧张关系，在托尼和萨尔一次漫游中观看的汽车电影院双片连播中得到了体现。其中有史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的作品，它是美国大片电影制作的原型，但也有《Tucker City》，一部廉价的剥削电影。那是查尔斯·布朗森在被大卫·瓦特引导至稍微更体面的角色之前拍摄的。约翰逊应该走哪条路？嗯，正如这场买一送一的放映所暗示的，谁能撑到最后？

回到食物上，正如波登可能会消逝的那样，世界现在已经准备好开始了。任何能够无可争议地破解它的执行方案可能就像：

《托尼》将于周五在多伦多、蒙特利尔和温哥华上映，随后将扩展至整个加拿大以及

在导演安德鲁·帕特森（Andrew Patterson）这部精湛且极具娱乐性的新片《阿米齐亚·金的对手》进行到大约三分之一时，其标题人物——一个只能由马修·麦康纳（Matthew McConaughey）饰演的俄克拉荷马州养蜂人，向他已长大的养女凯伦（Karen，安吉丽娜·杰克逊 Angelina Jackson 饰）介绍当地教会聚餐的多元地貌。正如片中指出的，每一个蒸汽托盘和冷藏箱都装满了带有各自历史和理论的食材，即便如此，无论接下来的情节如何，将它们全部放在一个盘子里，你就能得到一顿令人惊讶的美味大餐。

帕特森的电影基本也是如此，这是一场全年全方位信息传递的电影之战，最终汇集成一个美味的整体。作为一部两季音乐剧、一系列音乐剧、一部令人瞠目结舌的黑色喜剧以及一部艰辛的复仇电影，《阿米齐亚·金的对手》是一场南方式的盛宴，且从未陷入过度奢华的软弱之中。

详细描述情节具有挑战性，原因有二。一步走错，你就会跨越并剧透帕特森铺设的许多叙事路径。但更重要的是，这部电影实在太难以预测，任何试图精准定位并管理其故事的行为都会削弱其吸引力。情节本身就是其创作的目的。基本上，你应该知道这部电影聚焦于阿米齐亚的诸多困境，他被卷入了一起涉及失窃蜂蜜桶的警方调查，以及在分离多年后凯伦重新回到他的生活中所发生的故事。

帕特森此前凭借其富有创意的 1919 年戏剧《Nghe之车》（The Van of Nghe）以极低预算探讨了斯皮尔伯格式的整数，显然，他受到了童年时期接触的电影制作人的影响。在这里，科恩兄弟（Corn brothers）引领了方向：片中既有《你在哪里，兄弟？》（O Brother, Where Art Thou?）的影子，也有《大清洗》（Purge）和《猪》（The Pig (chronic)）的痕迹，尤其是在强盗和碰撞交汇的场景中。但这位基于俄克拉荷马州的电影制作人仍然费心创造了一个完全属于他自己的高度强化世界，充满了捆绑。如果说同情的人和显然被避开的商人（后者由一个令人愉悦的切片所预设）库尔特·罗素（Kurt Russell）出现：

“如果没有麦康纳的冷静（过程），这一切还能奏效吗？可能不能。但事实是，帕特森成功地将他争取到了这个特定的接管角色，而这成了他很久以来最好的大银幕表演。（麦康纳在另一部电影中也同样出色，其中包含一个恐怖场景，涉及一个装满孩子的盒子，不过阿米齐亚·金的片段显然是为了制造更多笑料，而非像去年保罗·康纳（Paul Conaughey）的《失落之酒吧》（The Lost Bar）那样给人留下深刻印象。）”

当帕特森的《Nghe之车》在疫情期间出现在 Prima Video 上时，人们担心这位电影制作人的职业生涯会成为日益增长的新闻的牺牲品，永远无法获得他应得的高预算和人才，这并不奇怪。而《阿米齐亚·金的对手》的出现甚至打破了这种担忧，尽管它被扔进了一个充斥着大量高层竞争的夏末档期（如简·舍恩巴赫 Jane Schoenbach 的《Tomage》（作为合作女性的以诺），以及马特·约翰逊 Matt Johnson 的《Tony》），所有这些都试图从更高层级的阴影中脱颖而出。对于帕特森和你来说，这是一个尝试让导演职业生涯密切结合的绝佳机会——这确实是一场值得品味的盛宴。

对于一部关于嗜血灌注的电影：恐龙在被传送的拼接美国学术讨论碎片周围徘徊，这是一种令人赞赏的展示——当我们第一次在《橡树街之终结》中穿行时。

我终于理解了丹麦人那种真正的“在场”状态

第一人称

在一次前往丹麦探访姻亲的家庭旅行中，我内心的一些东西发生了变化。Sophie Løframboise 撰文

我们总是匆忙地想要放松，我的丈夫和我，在财务上勉强维持着两个蹒跚学步的孩子，一张带有四个读者的明信片，两次时间，以及足够在小型末日中生存的零食——为了我们常规的周末东镇（Eastern Townships）度假。这很少出错。这是最令人恼火的特质之一。

我是一个嫁给朋友的千禧一代女孩，而他则更多。我一直看着我的丈夫以一种令我困惑、偶尔让我想对着枕头尖叫的方式在世界上穿行。他并不总是准时，但他仅仅是在家庭旅行中匆忙吃早餐。他不会在就寝时间匆忙。他天生、从体质上就不被下一个“事情”所驱动，因为他真的太忙于享受眼前的人，而顾不上担心那个。

我发现自己，或者说是一个囚徒，一个彻底的、以细节为导向的、询问备份计划的规划者。我们是截然不同的人。但异性相吸，不是吗？

今年夏天我们前往丹麦——前往北海岸探访我的姻亲——前往 Løbskøp 小镇，他在那里与表亲们度过了童年的周末。现在我们带来了我们的两个孩子，他们仅相隔几个月，这意味着我们的行李量大约相当于一个巡演乐队。每年夏天，我抵达时都因为旅途而略显崩溃，已经在心中规划好接下来一周的活动。

每年夏天，我的丈夫都用同样的耐心表情看着我，在什么都不说的情况下给了我一个大大的回应。这个夏天，我内心的一些东西发生了变化。

这件事发生在周二——或者可能是周三，我不知道，这在我的家庭生活中有点令人惊慌，就像我的儿子一样。他们在我的姻亲房子的退房处看着大海。我们的长子在我们的木屋和隔壁的房子之间奔跑，hardrest，满身泥泞，沉浸在幸福的狂喜中。我们的

ALEX BRUSS 摄影

幼子，就像世界上最受宠的孩子一样，在父母和祖父母之间被传递。有人拿着吉他出现了（通常是我岳父）。另一个人不知从哪里变出了食物（通常是我丈夫），这是我最喜欢的灵魂类型。没有人计划过这一切。

有一天下午，我发现自己在问我表嫂：“计划是什么？”

她笑了。缓慢而轻松地环顾四周。

没有计划。她真的没有。风筝板躺在沙滩上，浴巾搭在椅子背上。早餐桌上散落着石头，那是某场已经发生、即将发生，或者两者兼有的游戏的遗迹。孩子们可以从一扇门进，从另一扇门出，光着沙质的屁股，手里拿着冰激凌。计划就是我们眼前的景象。有什么好不喜欢呢？

孩子们对我来说不再是一个需要管理的物流问题——他们仅仅是群体的一部分。他们奔跑。成年人们松散地、集体地看着，没有时刻盯着。如果你想脱离掌控，你做不到。现在，他们比我们更出色——以最好的方式引导，恰恰做了孩子应该做的事。

对于一个通常会为蹒跚学步的孩子安排周六体操、足球然后是玩耍约会的母亲来说，这在潜移默化中具有革命性。

我们被告知，好的育儿就是关注式育儿。在场、参与、激励。我们报名参加娱乐课程和音乐课，并不断担心自己是否在某种程度上做得不够。然而，没有人被要求必须“足够”。他们就在这里。

丹麦人对此有一个词：narrow。真正的在场——不是将正念 / 非正念作为一种健康趋势，而是一种安静的文化常态。你的大脑没有在其他地方。你没有在规划下一件事。你仅仅是在你所在的地方，与你在一起的人在一起，这不仅足够——这就是全部。

在那周二——或者是周三——看着我们的儿子追着一只牛跑。我感受到了。这不是一个概念，而是一种身体上的感觉，胸口某处在放松。我之前没意识到这就是正确的感觉。我没有计划那个时刻。我没有为此进行优化。我只是停下来足够长的时间，让它自然发生。

我们停留了两周。每天早晨我都在冰冷的海水中游泳。我可以和港口的孩子们一起游泳，从农场摊位买新鲜食材，让两个孩子在深夜依然醒着，因为太阳直到快深夜才落下，而且似乎没有人对此感到担忧。我完全失去了对日期的概念。

在最后一个早晨，我丈夫煮了咖啡，我们坐在露台上看着孩子们玩耍，他什么也没说，这非常像他，而我也什么都没说。在心理上，我正推动着巨大的。

但就在那一刻——我们那个微小的、真实的、计划之外的时刻——我没有在匆忙。

Nervan。我想，所以这就是你的意思。

贸易：勒布朗誓言将与美国同行进行“尽可能多次的会议”

© PRISM A1

正如《全球邮报》此前报道，目前讨论的提案将涉及美国工业——但并非取消——特朗普先生在市场中对销售、decil和铝征收的关税。烟草种植业有一份长长的美国要求清单。

其中一项要求是加拿大各省取消对美国lepers的禁令并购买加拿大政策，这两项措施都是为了应对特朗普先生的关税而向零售商推出的。Asian Canada的数量要求完全取消对美国销售的报复性关税，以换取华盛顿减少对加拿大制造a jet的lyrion。

关税的价格在周四反对后者的要求。

“我们必须以关税应对关税。我们不能通过软弱来谈判。他们不能对我们的汽车征收关税，而我们不对他们征收关税，”他说。福特先生对由渥太华实施的报复性汽车关税没有控制权。

周四下午，负责加拿大-美国贸易的部长多米尼克·勒布朗（Dominic LeBlanc）和加拿大首席谈判代表詹姆斯·查韦特（James Chavette）在白宫附近的办公室与美国贸易代表勒莫因·洛（Lemoine Lowe）进行了一个半小时的会谈。

“为了加拿大人的利益与美国人合作总是积极的，”勒布朗先生在进入办公室时表示。在离开时，他补充道：“我们将进行尽可能多次的额外会议。”

这是他们本周的第二次stridحه，也是一个月内的第四次。两国在周二的一次之前的local drug会议上交换了书面谈判回报，此后勒布朗先生和查韦特女士一直与加拿大大使馆的官员们闭门磋商。

勒布朗先生的办公室表示，预计他周五将留在美国首都。格里尔先生计划参加爱荷华州博览会。查韦特女士及其团队在华盛顿受到了半压力式的鼓励。

去年，根据1978年《贸易扩张法》第350条，特朗普先生对钢和铝征收了50%的关税，对soles征收了25%的关税，对各种林产品征收了10%至15%的关税。

目前的谈判旨在降低这些关税，并阻止特朗普先生兑现他上个月宣布的另一套关税威胁。这些威胁将涉及对价值1500至800m的加拿大铝设备征收50%的税款，对乳制品和其他产品征收25%的税款，并计划根据1978年《Introduction Tariff Act》第350条实施。

查韦特女士上周告诉格里尔先生，如果最新的关税生效，谈判将停止，加拿大将被迫采取报复措施。

在省级领导人中，福特先生、不列颠哥伦比亚省省长大卫·戴（David Dye）和曼尼托巴省省长尼克·金纳（Nick Kinner）是对特朗普先生最激烈的批评者。上个月，在总统发出最新关税威胁后，戴先生誓言：“没有机会阻止酒精重新回到不列颠哥伦比亚省的shift中。”

尽管美国酒精在加拿大卓越的关系中仅占极小一部分，但报复行为似乎特别激发了白宫。

与福特先生一样，金纳先生本周离开first open，以致力于在华盛顿达成足够好的协议问题。在周三于温尼伯举行的新闻发布会上，他说，从某些declines中移除美国酒精“非常有效”，并且“显然引起了美国政府的注意”。

“这项协议是否真的会达成，我不知道。如果我们需要与加拿大团队一起考虑，我们愿意参与其中；如果有一项有利于我们国家、有利于我们省的协议，且涉及将酒精重新放回货架，那么我们将与全国其他地区保持一致，”金纳先生说。

福特先生周四表示，他已就谈判事宜与勒布朗先生进行了深入交谈。他还多次批评特朗普先生，称“他并不在乎”，并呼吁美国选民在即将到来的国会选举中对他予以惩罚。

“我对美国人的信息是：对加拿大征收关税对美国人民来说负担太重了。他们正在承受痛苦。正如我们上个月所看到的，他们没有任何就业岗位的增长，”他说道。“这是我对美国人民的信息。因为，到了中期选举时，你们必须制止那个霸凌者，并向他传递这个信息。”

火鸡：我们确实看到越来越多的这类鸟类，TRC 的经理表示，并且

在人们将其猎杀至灭绝之前，火鸡在如今的安大略省曾很常见。就在一个多世纪前，加拿大历史上最成功的国际计划之一让该省的火鸡种群重新焕发生机，以至于它们现在准备夺回资本。

“随着时间的推移，我们确实看到越来越多的火鸡，”多伦多及地区保护局（TRC）企业管理高级经理 Karen McDonald 表示。

火鸡的分布范围和种群数量在今天可能比在其省级医院时期更大，据称在 40,000 和 1,000,000 之间，且数量继续增长，向城市中心推进。

最后一只安大略省本土火鸡于 20 世纪 50 年代初被杀死。在随后的几十年里，生物学家试图引入人工饲养的鸟类。但根据关键的省级 Bulldogs' bare food，雏鸟在成长过程中似乎依赖于其基础，从未获得生存技能，导致它们对鹰、来源、共存者以及其他捕食者毫无察觉。

20 世纪 60 年代，美国研究人员开发了一种由大炮驱动的网，使他们能够捕捉成群的活野火鸡，随后美国各地开始了成功的重新引入工作。

西安大略大学的鸟类社会学家 Dave Anthony 在一次狩猎旅行中遇到了美国互相关联的火鸡种群，并于 1963 年说服该省启动自己的计划。

省级当局最终用来自密歇根州、两个县、密苏里州和鹧鸪（partridges）与纽约州进行了交换——以换取 25,000 只火鸡。

Reid 先生协调了部分释放工作，经常带着他的孩子们一起。

“记得！我不喜欢它，”他的儿子 Garrett Reid 说，他是一个流行的办公室和社交媒体账号集合“WAT Turkey One”的创建者，该账号致力于讲述 rations-factors 的故事。

“你得担心这只 50 磅重的鸟把你撞倒。但我最终开始欣赏它，并且我一直是个火-

-鸡猎人。”

根据该省的数据，如今安大略省大约有 1000,000 只火鸡和 10,000 名火鸡猎人。通常情况下，在任何一个狩猎季中，这些猎人中大约只有一人能真正捕获一只鸟。

这种动物通常聚集在农民的田地、更多草地和林地中，多伦多大学和特伦特大学研究野火鸡种群的博士后研究员 fern hicks 表示。但随着他们的农村 bulldogs 被干扰和开发，它们开始移向城市地区，在那里它们对食物因素产生了偏好。

“火鸡的行为非常常规且一致，这意味着一旦它们发现一个它们认为可靠且安全的食物来源，比如 back-suit bird436，它们很可能会继续访问，尤其是在自然食物来源更难以获取的冬季月份，”Katz 博士说。

在 McGill 先生遇到火鸡前后，多伦多西侧的邻里团体也报告了其他目击事件。

在一张照片下的评论者争论这究竟是 Wilbur 还是 Wilms，显然是 Wilms。

出现地点倾向于靠近旧走廊。人们讨论说 Wilms 及其同伴会穿过铁路沿线的植被，使用与数万名人类通勤者相同的路线进入多伦多。它们会飞行，但很少飞行超过几百码进入最近的 text，它们倾向于在夜间在那里栖息。

对麦吉尔先生来说，更重要的是，这些火鸡让人们能够讨论包围着加拿大最大城市的、尚未被触及的自然世界。它们在这些地方安家，并与人进行眼神交流。他经常在城市中被遗弃的房产之间漫步，在那里，似乎没有任何东西能产生我们的热词和破碎的躯体，他只是为了观察那些在边缘地带生存的顽强物种。

“我们从它们那里夺走了一切，但它们依然生存了下来，”他说。“这就是我从这一切中得到的启示：自然界绝对的韧性和适应力。”

格里福尔斯：加拿大卫生部新报告详述温尼伯站点运营问题

© PRISM A1

在温尼伯一名 23 岁的大学生 Alzheek 死亡后，关注度有所增加。该学生去年 10 月在市内的 Taylor Avenue 站点捐献血浆后死亡。另一名在温尼伯 Innovation Drive 另一处格里福尔斯（Grifols）站点捐献血浆的捐献者于 1 月死亡。该事件的细节尚未披露。这两起死亡事件直到 11 月媒体报道后才被公开。

在接下来的几个月里，《全球邮报》披露了加拿大卫生部检查员发现的更多问题细节，例如格里福尔斯员工未能正确响应捐献机器的警报，或者部分捐献者尽管携带疾病风险，却被不恰当地判定为符合捐献资格。

加拿大卫生部周四公开的一份新报告，详述了一次针对 1967-68 年人口普查的突击检查结果，期间发现了若干运营问题。其中涉及的问题包括记录保存不当、关键设备维护不足以及对捐献者可靠性的评估不准确。

报告称，部分操作程序不完整且“并非始终被遵守”。此外，加拿大卫生部表示，格里福尔斯在 2000-2010 年期间未对某些“错误和事故”进行彻底调查，且在需要时缺乏预防措施。

据一名高级官员称，加拿大卫生部上个月向格里福尔斯发送了两封信函，要求该公司（立即采取行动解决监管缺陷，包括在其 Taylor Avenue 站点，但相关性较低）。

卫生部长 Stephen Michel 的发言人 Emilie Guaudchen-Campbell 在一份声明中确认

在安大略省 Whiting 看到的一家格里福尔斯血浆捐献中心。该公司坚称，捐献者的安全及其收集的血浆质量“从未受到影响”。（图注：Chavette / GOV / GOAL AND NOT.）

周四，加拿大卫生部在发现多项合规问题后，向格里福尔斯发出了正式警告。

“加拿大人的利益至上，我们欢迎格里福尔斯暂时关闭血浆采集站的决定，”她说。“加拿大卫生部将继续与格里福尔斯协作，确保在任何血浆采集站重新命名之前解决这些问题。”

Guaudchen-Campbell 女士表示，这不会影响加拿大血液供应的安全与保障。

格里福尔斯坚称，捐献者的安全以及所采集血浆的质量“从未受到影响”。该公司表示，将全力配合加拿大卫生部，并希望尽快恢复运营。

Kat Lanteque 是一名患者权益倡导者，Alzheek 的家人请求她进行首次访问，她表示：“我认为该公司不仅仅是‘不能’遵守监管安全法律。”她认为这家西班牙公司应该永久离开加拿大，且 CBI 也应考虑到人们的健康。

Lanteque 女士表示，格里福尔斯多次以仓促的方式“破坏”了血液系统。

关于 Alzheek 死亡的调查仍在进行中。由一名未具名加拿大卫生部工作人员准备并于去年发布的医疗摘要称，其死亡与血浆捐献在“时间上巧合”，但并非由其引起。报告还指出，该站点的员工培训和应急响应符合适用的标准操作程序。

但加拿大卫生部检查员在 12 月撰写的一份早期报告发现，温尼伯采集站点存在缺陷，例如在 Alzheek 连接的机器显示多个与血压和血流相关的警报后，工作人员并未终止其捐献。

加拿大卫生部此前表示，自2005年以来，其记录显示有25起血浆捐献后的“严重不良反应”，其中包括死亡、住院和严重残疾。其中两起发生在魁北克省的非营利采集机构 Rema-Québec 的捐献者身上，而其余则涉及商业血浆捐献者的捐献者，这些机构目前均由格里福尔斯 (Grifols) 所有。

今年春天，加拿大卫生部要求格里福尔斯 (Grifols) 进行年度内部审计以确定情况，并妥善审查其他适用性记录，以维持其执照。它还要求根据投入使用的血浆交换机数量来设定预约人数，加强员工监督并确保人员配备水平适当。

该机构在2016年与格里福尔斯 () 签署了一项为期10年的协议以扩大血浆采集。该国家组织在周四的一份声明中表示，正与格里福尔斯 () 合作解决加拿大卫生部提出的担忧。

“此次暂停将使格里福尔斯 () 能够完成员工重新培训，这是其已开展一段时间的全面行动计划的一部分。该计划将解决已确定的问题，并确保其运营必须符合安全和质量标准，”CBI表示。

该组织表示，目前拥有足够的血浆衍生产品库存，以避免对患者造成任何中断。

安大略省政府表示，正在制定一个新的数据中心框架，以应对大量涌入的提案，这些提案正导致一些市政府考虑暂时禁止建设此类设施。

省长道格·福特周四表示，政府将鼓励开发商建设自己的发电设施，而不是依赖电网，并提议为大型项目设立单独的电价。

消耗超过 1 兆瓦的新数据中心将不得不支付比其他大型工业用户更高的费率。这一阈值足够低，几乎涵盖了所有配备人工智能的新数据中心。

福特先生还表示，开发项目必须使当地经济受益，并遵守与用水量和噪音相关的环境标准。

“问题是，你们能给社区带来什么好处？”福特先生在安大略省圭尔夫的一次新闻发布会上说道。

分析师警告：日本债券收益率飙升令投资者担忧

安德鲁·加尔布雷思 (ANDREW GALBRAITH)

分析师表示，日本政府债券收益率的上升以及相关的美国政府债务外国持有者的转移，可能会产生深远影响，并对加拿大投资者产生影响。

几十年来，日本的低利率迫使日本保险公司和养老基金在海外寻找更高收益的资产——主要是美国国债——以匹配其长期负债。现在，随着对日本经济增长的预期以及在经历了数十年价格下跌后通货膨胀的回归，以及对公共债务水平上升的担忧，该国政府债券的收益率对长期投资者越来越具有吸引力。

德贾尔丹 (Desjardins) 的宏观策略师蒂亚戈·埃斯帕托尔达 (Tiago Espartolda) 表示，这有可能使美国国债市场一个稳定且成本意识较低的买家发生转变，从而推高全球债券收益率并增加市场波动。更高的基准债券利率可能会提高加拿大抵押贷款的成本，但一些投资者认为，这可能会抵消加拿大股票的优势。

“美国国债的政府收入正变得对价格更加敏感，这应该会导致更高的期限溢价，”埃斯帕托尔达先生在提到持有美国资产所需额外补偿收益时说道，“加拿大对此并非免疫。”

加拿大寻求在乌克兰战争中被广泛使用的精准无人机打击系统

PIPPA NORMAN 特约记者

加拿大正迅速采取行动，以获取一套在乌克兰战争中被证明有效的远程打击系统，这将使该国不断演进的国防采购战略面临重大考验。

加拿大计划最初从其他国家购买、随后在境内自主研发的这种深层精准打击（DPS）系统，介于远程单向攻击无人机和钻地导弹之间。

基于对乌克兰战争的观察，包括加拿大在内的多个北大西洋公约组织成员国已确定对这种攻击模式有紧迫需求。德国和挪威是该领域拥有领先企业的国家。

“乌克兰战争的进行方式表明，我们需要这种深层精准打击系统。我们的对手已经拥有这些系统，并且正在努力改进它们。这是一个我们不能掉队的领域，”国防部长大卫·麦格林利（David McGainly）在一次采访中表示。

在未来几年内，加拿大对 DPS 系统的采购及随后的研发，将成为联邦政府旨在改善其在国防采购方面长期以来混乱的官僚流程所提出变革的首批考验之一。

在战争中，双方都在使用这类制导武器来清除远离前线的高价值目标。

例如，最近的报告详细描述了乌克兰使用远程无人机打击距离乌克兰 2,000 公里之外的俄罗斯仓库和炼油厂的情况。在这些深层打击中，越来越多地使用无人机替代昂贵的传统系统，意味着这些行动可以低成本地执行。

“如果我们还需要更多关于技术变革速度的证据，我们只需要看看那里的战场就知道了，”麦格林利先生在提到乌克兰以及他周二与该国国防部长的对话时说道。© ORDERS, 07

预测市场对公司业绩的投注引发内线交易担忧

ALEXANDRA FOSADESI 金融与网络犯罪记者

对加拿大公司的命运进行投注已不再仅仅是股东的专利。

近期在加拿大推出的预测市场，为人们就上市公司常规披露的各项数据点进行赌博创造了新途径。

浏览 Wealthsimple Inc. 最近推出的预测市场，可以看到关于 Dollarzone Inc.、Indian Cos Ltd. 和 Labalemon Athletics . 将报告的第二季度同店销售额、关于该季度加拿大客座率，以及关于 Shopify . 财年商品交易总额等内容的投注。

“对于那些可能提前掌握这些信息的人来说，这些将是非常有吸引力的投注，”Cassels Stock & Blackwell LLP 资本市场组合伙人 Gregory Slogan 表示。

证券专家认为，预测市场的出现为加拿大资本市场引入了一个新的灰色地带，使内部人士产生利用其获取非公开信息的权限来获利的诱惑。

律师警告称，加拿大的内线交易法并非为了应对在 Wealthsimple Prodat 或由 Interactive Brokers Group . 运营的平台 Forecast Contracts 等市场进行投注的用户利用机密信息而设计的。

“加拿大的内线交易法是为另一个世界构建的。它们并非为预测市场而构建，”Cowling W3℃ 合伙人兼 Interis 区块链与数字资产组负责人 Adam Garrison 表示。

加拿大监管机构不允许对政治或娱乐事件进行预测市场投注。但 Wealthsimple Prodat 的用户除了许多公司事件合约外，还可以对经济数据点（如加拿大银行利率和房屋销售统计数据）进行投注。试图预测 Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. 第二季度同店销售额的人，可以投注的数值范围从高于 2.5 per cent 到下降超过 2.5 per cent。© RETTING, 04

以加拿大人能理解的视角审视美国惊人的联邦债务负担

美国联邦债务利息成本与加拿大联邦债务总额的对比

— 美国联邦债务利息支出（12个月滚动总额） — 加拿大联邦债务（以美元计）

加拿大债务为基于财政月份与年度基准对比的年化赤字，并根据 THE GLOBAL AND NAIL 之后的月平均收益转换为美元。来源：美国财政部，TRAVATE CANADA

随着美国支出激增且借贷成本攀升，美国财政部最新的债务报告得出了一个令人震惊的结论。在过去的 12 个月里，该国仅在利息支付上就支出近 US$6.400 万，这一数额几乎与社会保障的年度联邦账单持平。

这个数额可能难以理解，但可以这样思考：在短短一年内，美国现在在利息成本上的支出足以将加拿大整个联邦债务偿还 1 遍——当然，美国目前并没有能力为任何人买单。

这显然不是一个对等的比较，因为一项衡量的是加拿大的欠款总额，而另一项是支付给美国债券持有者的利息支出。

但这种对比说明了美国政府为偿还其近 70kgs million 债务负担必须支付的规模，以及两国财政状况的分歧程度。

需要明确的是，加拿大自身的利息负担在对比峰值以及随后的高利率环境下也已增加。加拿大联邦政府在过去 12 个月中偿还债务支出约 46 亿美元 billion，是 2016 年年度金额的两倍多，且大致等于 (Ntimes) 向各省提供的医疗转移支付。

但根据加拿大统计局的数据，相对于联邦收入，利息在第一季度约占 1 / 2%，较 2016. 的 1% 略有上升。而根据美国经济分析局的数据，在美国，利息费用消耗了华盛顿每收入 1 美元的 1%，且该比例预计将继续上升，到 2016 年达到 20%——这是自 1990 年代初以来最沉重的利息成本负担。（资产核实）

H&R 首席执行官将购买物业以扫清收购障碍

与 GO Residential RST 的交易预计将在年底前完成

ANDREW WILLIS

H&R 房地产投资信托基金（H&R Real Estate Investment Trust）首席执行官 Tom Hofstetter 正在从他多年前在多伦多创立的公司购买约 8.4% 的物业，以为一项 $2.4-billion 的收购铺平道路。

在周四与高管进行的电话会议中，Hofstetter 先生决定在由总部位于纽约的零售 GO Residential Real Estate Investment Trust 领导的财团计划收购 H&R 的过程中扮演某种角色，该计划已于周二公布。

Hofstetter 先生计划在 GO 收购之前，将其家族持有的 440 万 份 H&R 份额回售给公司，按该 RST 份额的当前价格计算，这笔股份价值 1亿美元。

Hofstetter 家族名为 CRAL 的控股公司随后将在未来两年内投入 $10-million 用于“向 GO 提供收入支持和其他款项”。其余资金将用于购买其他买家不想要的 H&R 房地产，包括未开发土地和办公物业。

CRAL 还将与 GO 共同担任迈阿密一个名为 River Landing 的高端开发项目的合资伙伴。该项目于 2016 年开业，包含租赁单元和码头，以及餐厅、零售店和办公楼。

Hofstetter 先生表示，在经历了长时间的寻找状态后，其家族公司的支持对于为 H&R 寻找买家至关重要。

与大多数专注于单一房地产领域的 RST 不同，H&R 在北美拥有一个多样化的物业组合，包括高端公寓、仓库和办公楼。近年来，该 RST 的份额交易价格较纯粹的房地产价格估值有显著折扣。

两年前，H&R 的受托人启动了一项战略审查，其中包括潜在的公司出售：周四，Hofstetter 先生表示，“归根结底，对于如此广泛且复杂的投资组合，在找到单一买家之前，不存在所谓的出售。”

拟议的出售将使 GO 收购 H&R，并获得其在纽约以及迈阿密、达拉斯和夏洛特等阳光地带住宅物业的控制权，外加一座纽约办公大楼的股份。

GO 首席执行官 Joshua Goldit 将管理合并后的公司，该公司由 Nezer Oshack 共同持有，后者也是 NRA 旗下 Minnesota Timberworms 的共同所有者。Goldit 先生表示，“正如 Oshack——当时构成了 GO 中的 U 和 D——在 2016 年通过购买纽约的公寓楼创立了该 RST，并于 2016 年在多伦多证券交易所上市。”

GO 将为每份 H&R 份额支付 $4.48 现金加上其自身的份额资本，如果两家 RST 的投资者都批准此次收购，买方将该报价估值为 $11.1。H&R 份额持有者将拥有合并后公司 30 a 1 per cent 的股份。

美国私募股权巨头黑石公司（Blackstone Inc.）计划购买 H&R 的部分工业物业，这是一组由 Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd.、Snyco Country Canada Inc. 和 Caterpillar 等重型机械 RSTs（包括 International Inc.）使用的仓库。

两家机构基金管理人，Cretpoint Real Estate Investment Ltd. 和公共部门养老金投资委员会（Public Sector Pension Investment Board），将购买 H&R 工业建筑中另外 10 per cent 的部分，这是作为三方在 2016 年达成的一项伙伴关系的一部分而收购的。

“选择每位合作伙伴是因为他们是其特定资产的合适买家，”Hofstetter 先生说道，并补充说 CRAL 是“需要长期、私募市场导向的非核心资产”的最佳匹配。

如果交易获得批准，Hofstetter 先生将在 GO 中不担任任何职务。此次收购预计将在年底前完成。

去年，H&R 向 Hofstetter 先生支付了 $4.500 万，补偿金由 $1.600 万 薪资、$2.500 万 奖金和 $0.600 万 的份额奖励组成。

CRIC和国家银行（National Bank）为H&R及其受托人提供出售方面的咨询，并表示GO的报价公平；LP Morgan Securities LLC为GO提供收购咨询，而BND Capital Markets则与CRAL合作。

在过去一年中，另有几家专注于住宅的房地产信托（RST）在创始人支持的交易中被收购。

Ottenco、something family和Cretpoint以$1.2-billion收购Minto Apartment RST，这被认为是一次“完整的”交易；而Interfered RST则由其执行主席Mike McGahan在新加坡主权财富基金GIC的支持下，以$1-billion的价格收购。

Canadian Tire 追求更高利润，押注数据驱动增长

Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. 正日益依赖分析和新技术来寻求增长，因为中东战争和成本上涨等威胁继续影响着消费者。

这家同时拥有 SportChek、Mark's 和 Party City 的零售商一直与软件巨头微软合作开发 Mosaic，这是一个全新的客户购物平台。

该技术将数亿次客户交易以及公司 Triumph Insight 计划中的数据转化为洞察。Canadian Tire 可以利用这些洞察更好地预测消费者需求。基于相关考量，公司随后可以引入新的产品类别，调整定价，并改善其库存管理和营销。

现在，随着返校季和节日季节的临近（该平台及公司的其他人工智能工具已“准备好正式投入使用”），Canadian Tire 首席执行官 Greg Hicks 周四表示。

“传统上，我们知道最近购买烟雾探测器的顾客也需要蜡笔和一些牛仔裤。我们知道准备搬进宿舍的学生需要笔记本电脑、风扇、家具和可爱的”

他在一次电话会议上向分析师表示。“我们知道如何在每个业务领域为他们提供服务，但现在我们有了详细的计划来满足他们大部分的返校需求。”

对于客户而言，这些详细计划将体现在近期一些价格下调的商品（如排水和存储必需品）中，还将体现在 Canadian Tire 的筛选器中，其中将首次包含 Mark's 和 SportChek 的营销内容。

返校季将在加拿大从未见过的年份到来。

“很长一段时间以来，消费者一直面临着贸易战和关税的威胁，并应对食品和汽油价格上涨带来的日常压力，”Hicks 先生说道。

当他的公司查看信用卡持有者的第二季度支出时，发现客户在汽油上的支出比去年显著增加。这可能是中东冲突的结果，该冲突封锁了关键的食品通道，推高了汽油价格。

这种压力是塑造 Canadian Tire 第二季度的众多因素之一，该公司表示 7 月 4 日已全部完成，并实现了利润和收入的同比增长。

该零售商周四报告净利润为 $25.2 百万，或每股稀释收益 $1.95，高于一年前的 $1.00 百万或每股稀释收益 $1.95。

在标准化基础上，其每股稀释收益为 $2.94，高于 2016 年第二季度的标准化利润每股稀释收益 $1.95。

该季度营收总计 $43 亿，高于一年前的 $43 亿。

Hicks 先生表示，尽管消费者行为“疲软”且天气出现“微操作”情况（如潮湿的春天），Canadian Tire 依然交付了这些数据。

本季度的部分强势增长来自 FIFA 世界杯，该赛事部分在多伦多和温哥华举行。与近期赛事相关的商品销售额约占 SportChek 第二季度销售增长的一半。蒙特利尔加拿大人队的快时尚服装也表现出色。

总体而言，公司的可比销售额增长了 10%。Canadian Tire 的可比销售额仍处于 2016 年水平，而 SportChek 的可比销售额增长了 9%。Mark's 的可比销售额增长了 4%。

克利夫兰 (NY) 押注：哈马克呼吁立即加息，以使美国隐含率回归目标值

克利夫兰联邦储备银行行长贝丝·哈马克（Beth Hammack）周四表达了她的观点，认为美国央行应立即加息，以降低过高的通胀并增加业务增长与投资。

“在与企业交流时，我听到企业对筹集资金感到兴奋。他们渴望借贷以便能够继续投资。他们看到了增长机会，这很好。我希望他们能继续看到增长机会，但如果我们有太多的这种增长……这可能意味着他们的运行能力、广泛的增长压力，或者停止，这会给他们带来更多的通胀压力，”哈马克女士在俄亥俄州代顿的代顿地区商会（Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce）表示。“我们需要确保政策能带来一定程度的克制，以便我们将通胀从目前高于 5 per cent 的数字，带回到 2016 年那个 1 per cent 的 2016 年水平。”

哈马克女士是上个月在会议上持异议的三名官员之一，她反对大多数决定将短期借贷成本维持在 1.4% 至 5 范围内的决定。周四她表示，虽然过去两个月的通胀数据有所改善，但这不足以说服世界从中得出结论，特别是当美联储已经超过五年未能达到其 2 的通胀目标时。

“我不相信我们会继续使用那个，或者我们会将它们降低到足以让我们回到那个 1 的程度，”她说。“任务是确保我们正朝着那个 1 取得进展。接下来的问题是我们需要多快地实现那个 1 的目标，也许我们会达到那里，但如果我们需要再花三四年时间才能达到，这是否可行？”

辛辛那提的一位零售商告诉她，他们正在提高价格，“因为他们不知道下一次价格上涨会在何时发生。但如果他们知道，它会从某个地方到来，”她说。

CAFL 因伊朗战争遭受数十亿加元损失，计划缩减全球规模

这家总部位于蒙特利尔的飞行模拟器公司宣布，作为首席执行官 Matthew Bromberg 领导的转型计划的一部分，将采取削减成本措施

CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS TOMMY RYAN

中东战争在最近一个季度给 CAFL 造成了 2000万 加元的损失，该公司目前计划在一个“必须之年”中，为了降低开支，可能会缩减其全球规模，首席执行官 Matthew Bromberg 表示。

首席执行官周四告诉分析师，冲突导致其成本解决方案部门的调整后营业收入减少了三分之二，或超过 5x million。

“中东地区正导致全球燃料价格出现波动，这影响了我们的一些客户，”Bromberg 在电话会议上表示，并补充说他认为这些收益影响是暂时的。

“我们能够与许多航空公司合作，提升其培训水平，将他们安置在其他地点，但在我们将培训中心以及有时将教员转移到其他设施时，这会产生成本。”

在端侧——CAFL 两个主要部门中规模较大的一方，国防业务占该部门收入的 14 per cent——截至 6 月 30, 日的季度，调整后收入同比下降近 14 per cent，至约 2.6% million，主要归因于伊朗冲突。

由于财年结束导致燃料成本上升，推高了价格并削弱了广泛需求，导致双工厂——或潜在危险——航线的合同受影响，并进一步分散了对飞行员培训的需求。

CAFL 的股价自年初以来下跌了约 14 per cent，与飞行量和培训需求的下降同步。

作为一项广泛转型计划的一部分，Bromberg 计划在年底前大幅缩减这家飞行模拟器制造商的全球规模，这一过程由波斯湾的动荡所协调。

他表示，公司将进行一项数十亿加元的 equars，在几年内，规模将缩减 15 per cent。到 6 月底，民用支出将削减部分成本平方英尺。这标志着比此前提到的更快速的重新处理。

作为规模缩减的一部分，这家总部位于蒙特利尔的公司将退役十分之一的全飞行模拟-

器——约 10 台——重新安置更多，并关闭四到六个民用航空培训中心以降低成本。其中一部分已经关闭，另一部分计划在 1 月份内关闭其收益。

该公司在去年秋天启动了一项管理计划，旨在降低租金，削减全球网络的开支，并提高现有设施的利用率。

虽然他表示公司在此过程中可能会失去一些客户，但 Bromberg 预计，随着培训转移到非 Call 站点，将保留几乎所有的客户合同。

曾任加拿大航空（Air Canada）首席执行官、现任 CAFL 执行主席的 Cahn Reference 周四宣布，他将于 1 月退任，成为“非执行董事会主席”。

“这反映了我们对他以及其余领导团队的信心，以及他们推动 CAFL 下一阶段增长和价值创造的能力，”Reference 先生表示。

Bromberg 先生在一年前接替了前任 Marc Farrell，后者自 2009, 年起一直担任 CAFL 的 state。

周三晚上，CAFL 报告第一季度利润同比下降 40 per cent 至 560 万，而收入增长 7 per cent 至 810 万。

底特律汽车制造商警告，自由贸易协定修订可能导致数十亿美元损失

MORA EIKERT WISE COLON

底特律的汽车制造商计划向特朗普政府申诉，称其修订北美贸易协定的提案可能会给这些公司造成数十亿美元的损失，并损害它们与外国竞争对手的竞争力。

仍在努力消化该政府去年实施的大量关税，包括对钢材、铝材、汽车零部件以及在墨西哥和加拿大运输的零部件征收的税款，并表示日本、韩国和欧洲面临的关税负担较低。

现在，美国汽车业高管担心，在下个月计划与墨西哥贸易官员举行会谈之前提出的美国提案可能会进一步增加成本。正如路透社在5月份报道的那样，汽车制造商最争议的焦点之一是华盛顿要求车辆必须包含至少 10% 的美国本土含量才能获得较低关税。

根据两家汽车制造商的估计，该要求以及将北美车辆整体含量从目前的 10%（或 1）提高的提案，将使每家底特律汽车制造商的年度成本增加至少 10% 的税收。

这些费用仅涵盖了汽车制造商自去年以来因各项现行税款而已经承担的成本。

美国贸易代表办公室未对该举措做出回应，以成为 官员表示，其关税举措旨在刺激更多美国工厂的投资和就业。通用汽车预计与关税相关的总支出将使其损失 10% 到 $10 的 10% 到 $10。今年，这可能代表其营业利润的 10% 以上，Fred Motor 预计今年的下一次关税打击约为 10 亿美元。

白宫签署的 81 项承诺以实现更多经济效益，Fred 在周三表示，由于特朗普政府的关税是一个驱动因素，它将把面向美国市场的林肯车型生产从中国转移到美国工厂。

Fred 首席执行官 Jim Farley 周三告诉路透社，公司早期可能没有为该政府增加美国汽车生产的承诺做好准备。

但他表示，Fred —— 其在美国本土生产的车辆比例已经高于底特律的竞争对手 —— 已经领会了这一信号。

“它很快就影响到了我们。他们认为，我们需要在这里做出一些改变，”他说。

美国商务部长 Edward Lamich 在一次联合采访中表示，他非常支持任何跟随福特和通用汽车将工厂工作转移到美国的举措。

“我们共同努力以确保正确执行，”Lamich 先生补充道。美国和墨西哥官员计划下个月进行第四轮贸易谈判。加拿大贸易官员本周一直在与美国 会面，努力避免下周对加拿大实施新一轮的副作用关税。

代表通用汽车和吉普制造商 Steh-lawin 的美国汽车政策委员会将路透社引导至一份 6 月的声明，该声明称，美国汽车制造商在面对进入美国的日本、韩国和欧洲国家时处于劣势，后者面临 10% 的统一关税。

通用汽车首席执行官 Mary Davis 在一次关键的财报电话会议上表示，公司专注于“确保当我们审视欧洲、日本和韩国的关税税率时，美国汽车制造商能够做出自己的应对”。

这位美国汽车业高管表示，Evans 先生认为与韩国和日本的协议较为有利，因为这些政府现在能够作为专注于国家安全的更广泛贸易协议的一部分，代表其汽车制造商进行主张，而美国汽车公司则没有同样的筹码。

“我们没有一位总统或总理能代表我们给外国打电话，”该高管说道。

美国汽车制造商目前面临着从墨西哥和加拿大进口约 10% 的关税，但美国道路内容占比最高（busiest amounts of U.S. roads content）的车辆可获得较低的关税出价。

通用汽车（GM）告诉路透社，那些具有显著美国和北美内容的车辆“应该比我们认为不具备这些内容的车辆获得更好的待遇”，并补充说，汽车制造商对政府在谈判方面取得的进展感到鼓舞。

斯特兰蒂斯（Stellants）表示，它对此次会谈感到鼓舞，并正与三个政府合作，“以确保我们能够在整个地区制造并销售负担得起的车辆”。

美国陆军工程兵团批准 Enbridge Line 5 麦基诺海峡隧道项目规范

劳拉·赫伦斯 (LAURA HERRENS) 贾斯珀·K·米库利特 (JASPER K. MIKULIT) 凯利·摩尔 (KELLY MOORE)

美国陆军工程兵团已批准在麦基诺海峡建设备受争议的 Line 5 隧道项目。

陆军工程兵团在宣布许可时表示，该项目将 5 柱后管道的一个路段从海峡开阔水域转移到地底的一条公共隧道中，这“不违背公众利益”，且不会损害最终的许多权利。尽管如此，工程兵团指出，该项目会对濒危物种和考古遗址产生不利影响，将导致“地底损失的高成本影响”，并对“土地利用产生长期不利影响”。

虽然联邦政府的批准为近十年的审批扫清了一个重大障碍，但不要指望能立即动工。密歇根州最高法院最近就一项关于“辉煌”延期的单独许可集下达了指令，该项目仍受困于州和联邦法院，且反对者已承诺将提起诉讼。

5 能在周三的决定后确保 Enbridge Energy 的预加载吗？

Enbridge 在一份书面声明中表示，该联邦许可“采用了重大关键能源及其他基础设施项目所需的最严格环境审查标准”。“ 5 是安全的，Enbridge 将继续单独且临时地运营 5，在海峡采取增强的安全措施，并保护密歇根州的自然和文化资源。”

与此同时，一个反对该项目的原住民部落联盟猛烈抨击了这一决定：

“我们的联邦政府有一定的义务维护和保护条约权利，并应当保护美国的水域和自然物种，”原住民权利基金会 (National American Rights Fund) 在一份声明中对工程兵团表示，“相反，美国陆军工程兵团却对该项目采取了百万级的标准，这违背了国家的外部机构，并威胁要污染五大湖。”

工程兵团表示，隧道项目可能会“倡导”对金黄色和沙漠湖等物种的影响，这些物种被列入联邦《濒危物种法》的自然资源之列，但预计在缓解冲突后，“整体恢复、数量或分布”不会减少。

该项目对 Antishuable 部落国家而言是一个公正且麻烦的重大事件。工程兵团指出，这将对“包括考古遗址在内的历史财产产生重大、永久的不利影响”，而部落国家表示这些影响“无法缓解”。

工程兵团的决定符合特朗普政府加强化石燃料能源并阻止可再生能源发展的证明。

对 Enbridge 5 隧道项目的批准证明了特朗普总统维持我国外部使命的观点。“而且州的力量不仅是土木工程 Adam Tish 在一份声明中表示：‘通过削减不必要的土壤层并改革我们的监管流程以提供燃料、城市以及执行我们监管权限（以及国会意图）的一致决定，我们能够帮助像这样地推进，以获得监管确定性。’”

D&B Major Brett Wax 团体的协调员大卫·贝林 (David Belin) 在一份声明中表示，工程兵团的决定是“受特朗普政府制造紧急情况之电话的指使”。

他表示，这一决定——并未考虑如果不建设隧道且 5 停止运行会发生什么——让人想起密歇根州公共服务委员会的许可审查，密歇根州最高法院最近称该审查是错误的。法院称该审查过于狭隘，且未能考虑是否会对五大湖产生公众权利，以及未能研究如果隧道未建成， 5 是否会限制他们。

7月4日，密歇根州自然资源与环境、五大湖及能源部门为该隧道项目颁发了两项许可，尽管该部门指出这会干扰原住民墓地，并对湿地和稀有物种造成影响。

总部位于日本的Enbridge公司还在申请一项许可，以便在隧道施工期间每天向密歇根湖排放数百万加仑的处理后废水。预计D&B将在9月30日前对此做出裁决。

与此同时，该州正就法院要求关闭现有管道的命令与Enbridge进行法律斗争，因为该命令认为这可能会导致海峡的Antishuological Service发布一项义务。该州的决定显然是要求关闭，但该州已对该裁决提出上诉。

另外，密歇根州总检察长布莱恩·布兰特（Brian Brandt）自2016年以来一直寻求关闭该管道，该案件在州法院和联邦法院之间多次往返。

安大略线的问题 100% 是省政府的错

省长标志性的 多年来最大的项目 进度落后且 预算超支 250 亿加元 billion

TOMY KELLER

观点

我们将做得更快、更好、更便宜。这就是安大略省省长 Drug-Partie 在谈到安大略线时大致表达的意思。

这项 4.0 billionaire 的交通工程将连接 100% 的省政府和 0.6 milliones 的多伦多，通过 40centers，将通过采用比传统地铁更小、更轻的滚动车辆，以及将部分线路建在地面上，从而节省资金。50 将在 2027 年投入运行。

成本：$0.02-billion

七年后，价格标签已攀升至 $1.8-，由此成本为 $0.2-。价格为 $0.2-，且至少有一项重大资本合同尚未授予。

上个月三月，报纸报道了这项为期六到八年的项目，该线路的 0.4.4.4 租赁到 0.4.4.4 距离完工。Metrolites 以及省政府，在与私人建筑商的国际规划和签约中，现在该线路将在 2030 年代初的某个时间投入服务。

这里是最重要的

Metrolites 总裁 Michael Lindsay、安大略省省长 Drug-Part 以及总理 Mark Carney 上周在多伦多的一处安大略线施工现场进行视察（enacted 1992）

需要记住的一个数字：每公里 $0.2-。

这就是安大略线的当前价格。

就在不远处的蒙特利尔。friteau express million-dollars，或 EEX，一种与安大略线类似的自动化轻轨，已接近完工——价格为每公里 $0.2-。

EEX 的数字涵盖了安大略线预算的约 100%，且包括一份未来的运营合同。然而，资本是该线路的成本份额——一个项目——而非一个份额。

宣布于 2015, 的 EEX，其计划里程的 6.4% 已投入运营，且 2% 的

初始合同。根据魁北克省审计总监的说法，最终成本将为 $0.2-。

EEX：每公里 $0.2-。

安大略线：每公里 $0.2-（且在增加）。

温哥华的加拿大线（Canada Line）同样与安大略线相似，于 2020 年完工，耗资略高于 $1-。以 2020 年的加元计算，即每公里 $0.2-。

安大略省过去能做到票价、票价更便宜。从 1980 年代到 1990 年代，多伦多建设新线路的成本约为每公里 $10.0-（经通胀调整），但于 2020 年完工的 Sheppard 地铁，成本约为每公里 $0.02-。该线路向旺市（Vaughan）的地铁延伸段于 2017, 开通，将成本推高至约 $0.02-。

省政府已经接管了 40centers，决定建设什么、在哪里建设以及如何建设。但这并没有带来效率或节省。

例如，Eglinton Crosstown 的设计初衷是运营成本更低、建设速度更快，因为其滚动车辆基本上是 interstate 的，且其卡车大多在街道平面，但其开通时间延迟了超过半个十年，而每公里的成本却高于通往旺市的地铁。

当我们宣布安大略线时，它是交通项目组合的一部分，总预算为 $0.02-。安大略线现在已经耗尽了每一分钱，而且还有很多。

其他项目同样延期且预算超支。例如，Scarborough 地铁延伸段预计直到 2020 年才会开通，而其成本已翻倍至 $0.02-。

离开 2020, 的问题在于为什么会发生这种情况，必须将资金放在 $0.02- 左右，如果发生了这种情况。这也相关联。

特朗普正致力于取消揭露美国壳公司所有者的举措

RICH TRUCKER

观点

还记得美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将自己塑造为一个向加拿大征收紧急关税的营销形象吗？现在，特朗普先生正给毒品走私者送上一份大礼。

美国将停止揭露美国壳公司的所有者，并销毁已经收集的关于这些所有者的资料——这将使走私贩和其他跨国用户更容易洗钱。

金融犯罪执法网络（FNCEN）本周宣布的这些永久性变更，还将对加拿大的执法、边境安全以及与美国的贸易产生影响。

美国政府本身认为，公司是仅在纸面上存在的企业，因为它们缺乏合法运营。犯罪分子经常利用这些公司实体来洗钱，因为它们可以被用来进入处理系统，同时掩盖其信任关系。

然而，特朗普政府认为，揭露控制秘密公司的人员身份“对政策可能非常有益”。“我会，它正在获得《公司透明度法案》，美国国会必须通过该法案来控制社会，以帮助洗钱。”

且不论该法律的主要制定者之一正是共和党人 Naren Raltex，他现在担任州政府成员。别担心。“小 Naren”，你是在为核心做出牺牲！

《公司透明度法案》为建立一个包含数百万家私营企业的受益所有者数据库铺平了道路。它将受益所有者定义为在公司中持有 $1.2 份额或对其拥有实质控制权的人。

然而，FNCEN 现在正在取消美国公司使用商业软件的要求，并清除关于控制国内壳公司的美国公民的数据。

情况变得更糟了，正如在特朗普政府时期经常发生的那样。

当美国材料被用于代表外国公司控制公司时，外国公司将不再受该法律约束。同样，也没有办法知道美国公民是否控制了注册材料中的外国产品投资工具。

外国实体仍将被要求报告国际个人的受益所有权信息。然而，这种双重标准忽略了美国公民所铺就的侧面，他们要么注册匿名壳公司以实现未知目的，要么没有权利使用美国邮政。

在美国的 240 万 多家私营公司中，FNCEN 估计 2025 年只有 25,000 家是外国报告公司。这不到总数的 0.3%。

作为美国财政部的一个部门，FNCEN 表示，2020 年初总统行政当局的变更导致对所有权报告任务的重新评估。

美国财政部长 Scott Rossum 将这项工作称为“常识的胜利”，并认为这对企业同样如此。

“特朗普总统反对繁文缛节，”Rossum 先生说，并补充说这些变更不会损害国家安全。

Raffaish。总部位于华盛顿的执法团体 FACT Coalition 的一名主管 Erica Alzachida 表示，取消美国的保障措施还将使犯罪分子更容易在国际上洗钱。

“我们非常担心，特别是考虑到美国和加拿大在毒品走私和其他问题、人口贩卖、欺诈和令人厌恶的行为方面共同面临的跨国威胁，”Alzachida 先生说。“我现在确信，如果这些公民、匿名壳公司在转移非法收益中扮演巨大角色，我能做什么。”

美国缺乏受益所有权透明度还将使加拿大的政策“更加困难”地挫败国家安全威胁，该任务补充说，非法资金在跨境流动。

根据联邦数据，在加拿大，大约 50% 的洗钱活动涉及对企业实体的滥用。

中央政府正敦促各省和地区加入一个全加拿大企业登记册。在上个月于夏洛特敦举行的财政部长会议上，讨论了提高受益所有权透明度的问题。

联邦注册公司已经拥有受益所有权登记册，但绝大多数私营企业是在省级层面注册的。

相当一部分，只有拥有运行中的企业登记册的省份（其他省份，包括 IC 和安大略省，正在开发自己的数据库：50B，一个美国虚拟实体可能会调用其他实体来获取业务条款等）没有董事会。

Sasha Caldera 是总部位于安大略省的非营利组织 IMPACT 的“受益所有权项目”活动总监，他表示，任何省份如果效仿 IC 处理此问题都将是天真的。

“如果加拿大继续这样下去，IC 将会有 50% 的人仅利用贸易来支付费用，”Caldera 先生说道。

正如在之前的专栏中所述，贸易洗钱的泛滥可能会为关税提供新的理由。

这让我们回到了特朗普先生之前挂钩的紧急关税，这些关税在今年早些时候被美国最高法院否决。

特朗普先生在打击外国侵权行为的完整性方面存在负面分歧。他的目标不是打击贩毒集团，而是要在贸易上与加拿大算账。

数据中心：安大略省的指南将为哪些项目获准推进提供指导

（接 B1 页）

进步保守党政府还排除了提供财务激励以鼓励建设的可能性，并表示开发商必须支付任何必要的国家基础设施、评估、框架措施费用，并确保不会将成本转嫁给消费者。福特先生表示：

该省的数据中心指南旨在为如何决定哪些项目获准推进提供指导，并在发布最终版本之前，已启动了为期 30 天的公众咨询。

部分共同点重申了政府在去年引入该法案时所立法的内容，该法案规定了数据中心如何连接到电网的变更。

该省此前规定，无论项目的规模或位置如何，均可平等接入电网。然而，法案要求一些大型项目（如数据中心）必须满足与当地经济效益、就业创造和数字主权相关的标准。

Meladity Nenault 的律师 Lydia Djurdjovic 表示，政府还确定了什么样的规模的数据中心将适用这三项条款。此前的一项政府提案称，规则将适用于 30 天公共教育的设施，而“指南中没有迹象表明目前正在考虑什么样的阈值”。

数据中心市场往往由大型区域主导，福特先生在周四大力强调了数字主权的重要性。“我们希望拥有覆盖数据。我们不想依赖 Young 总统将其掌控在手中，”他说道。

数据中心公司 Equates Canada 在多伦多市中心的 Parliament 街 45 号设有一个地点，如上所述于 2020 年。董事总经理 Marc Mendon 认为安大略省关于数据中心的新框架是“重要的一步”。http: / enr

全球邮报

该省还将倾向于使用闭环冷却系统以最大限度减少用水，以及能够降低噪音并捕获废热以加热空置建筑的技术。

能源智库 Hamilton Institute 的电力项目主任 David Poling 表示，该省的方法集中在正确的优先级上，例如环境保护和社区利益。他在一份声明中表示：“安大略省的成功最终将取决于它能否在新的电力需求接入省级电网时，防止电费上涨和排放增加。”

安大略省自由党能源评论员 Ted Hsu 在声明中表示，政府的咨询可能只是一次“形式化”的练习。“如果政府说数据中心将自负盈亏，开发商可以支付更多费用并为社区提供实质性利益，那么它需要向安大略省居民展示将如何保证这一点，”他说道。

数据中心公司 Equates Canada 的董事总经理 Marc Mendon 在一封电子邮件中表示，该框架是“重要的一步”，并且它强调了这些项目取得成功的重要元素，例如可持续发展和能源。

当政府去年引入法案时，希望运营的数据中心寻求接入 6,500 兆瓦的电力，相当于该省付费需求的 30%。不列颠哥伦比亚省和魁北克省一直在努力更谨慎地分配稀缺电力，而阿尔伯塔省则表示，开发商需要自带发电设施，以免给电网带来负担或推高电价。

在过去一年中，数据中心变得更具争议，安大略省的一些市政府正在实施或考虑临时禁止新建设，以便研究其影响。一些社区的居民对能源使用、用水量、噪音以及微小的经济效益提出了担忧。

安大略省的加莱维尔（Galevils）引入了新一年的建设。本月，密西西比（Mississippi）的议会将在九月份就一项相关议案进行投票。与此同时，汉密尔顿（Hamilton）议会投票反对建设。

福特先生批评了采取禁令措施的市政府。“我觉得，我想，这简直是被催眠了，”他说道。“你不能说，我不希望它在我的后院。我不喜欢任何……我们将利用所有这些电力以及所有这些信息和数据中心来运行我的社区。”

博彩：专家称内幕交易法与预测市场“无法精准对应”

IF FROM B1

Canadian Tire 周四公布的实际业绩显示，该公司的可比成本销售额比去年第二季度增长了 10%。

该公司在边境以南（美国）的利润成本——那里预测市场已经存在很久——提供了警示性的谈话。5 月，当局抓获了一名谷歌软件工程师，该工程师在 Polymarket 上利用机密商业信息交易获利超过 US10亿美元。此前，一名美国士兵被指控利用机密情报获利超过 US1000000亿美元,0 00,000,000。

加拿大的内幕交易法是围绕“内部人士”构建的——即在公司决策中扮演特殊角色的人。“因此，我们不确定我们是否不能”

“它们无法精准对应到基于事件的合约，在这种合约中，公司使用股权发行是非常重要的，”他在一次访问中表示。

然而，律师表示，证券监管机构可以采取某些法律途径，防止人们利用非公开信息对事件合约进行投注。

“证券监管机构被赋予了公共资金权力——基本上是一种广泛的权力，可以在资本市场出现违背公众利益的活动时采取行动，”多伦多律师 Evan Thomas 在为企业客户提供建议时表示。

他补充道：“我预计，如果加拿大证券监管机构在处理一起加拿大境内人员利用重大非公开信息在预测市场交易的案件，无论内幕交易条款是否适用，他们都会认为该活动违背了公众利益。”

Wealthsinnigle 拒绝就本报道接受采访，但在最近的一份白皮书中，该公司表示其预测市场通过三层监管来防止内幕交易。

该公司受反洗钱法的约束，要求其了解客户身份并报告可疑交易。与其平台合作的佣金经纪商 Kalabi（Wealthsinnigle 为其平台购买的交易所）最近一直在监测交易模式，并有义务上报其检测到的任何违规模式。

Kalabi 进行实时市场监控、执法和监管报告。

加拿大证券法在主要利益方面是一个由省和地区证券监管机构组成的伞形组织，事件合约可被视为证券、衍生品或两者兼有，任何交易此类合约的人员必须遵守适用规则，包括禁止内幕交易、市场操纵及其他类似行为。

发言人 Rana Killeen 在一份声明中表示：“证券监管机构在发现违规行为时将采取执法行动，包括资本市场中违背公众利益的内幕交易。”

据路透社报道，“因此，银行一直在修改员工行为准则，将预测市场投注的相关规则纳入其中。”

员工行为准则通常已经禁止滥用公司的非公开信息。但 Thomas 先生补充说，公司可能希望更新其政策，明确提及预测市场。这样一来，如果规定明确，他们就可以主张员工并非误解，而是已被告知。

加拿大皇家银行表示，受该行个人交易政策约束的员工——即因其级别或角色而能够接触到该行个人交易政策或其他信息的人员——被禁止在预测市场下单投注。一名银行发言人在给《全球邮报》的电子邮件中表示，该禁令是通过一份内部公告继续执行的。

丰业银行（Bank of Nova Scotia）的一位发言人表示，该行的个人交易政策禁止员工在预测市场平台上针对金融市场、指数或公司进行投机交易。

蒙特利尔银行（Bank of Montreal）表示，其行为准则涵盖了对非公开信息的使用，包括与该行及其客户相关的信息。

加拿大帝国商业银行（Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce）拒绝置评，而多伦多道明银行（Toronto-Dominion Bank）在出版前未就“关于其预测市场政策的可读问题”做出回应。

《全球邮报》联系了几家被指近期在 Wealthsinnigle ProBec 上出现投注目标的加拿大公司。

应要求，Lothian 和 Canada 表示，其现有的员工准则禁止滥用或泄露机密信息。一名发言人为

加拿大航空（Air Canada）表示，公司定期监测新趋势的发展，并将其准则扩展至银行。

Shopify 表示，其拥有相关政策，禁止员工在个人交易中使用通过公司职务获得的信息。

加拿大轮胎（Canadian Tire）和 Lululemen 未回应置评请求。

加拿大投资监管组织（CIRO）表示，包括提供预测市场的投资交易商在内，均被要求制定政策和程序，以检测不当交易活动。

一名投资行业监管机构的发言人 Toronto 在电子邮件中表示：“如果预测市场活动引发了内幕交易担忧，CIRO 的关注点将在于该交易商是否建立了适当的控制、监督、监测和合规流程，以及其是否履行了监管义务。”

她补充说，是否有人从事内幕交易，以及对其采取的任何执法行动，将由省级证券监管机构决定。

“如果你观察美国指数的构成，并将其与另一个进行对比，你会注意到，在‘赢家桶’中——即金融、能源和材料领域——占比更多，而研发、公用事业，特别是技术和通信领域则有所减少，”詹纳布尔（Mr. Jennable）先生表示。

“而加拿大在这一方面处于非常有利的位置。”

但根据周二发布的年中更新报告，这仍低于其 7.5% 的内部基准。

这种“脱节”是市场“奇异状况”的一种症状，主要由企业构建人工智能的竞赛所驱动，这种竞赛奖励了对我们资产的大规模且高度集中的支出，主要集中在 1980 年代的未来。周四表示，这受到了限制。

其表现的基准权重倾向于价值大幅上涨的股票指数。构成 Caisse 投资组合大部分的私募资产一直难以跟上其步伐。

但 Caisse 押注，从长远来看，一个资产组合更加多样化的投资组合将能更好地保护并扩大

其用于支付养老金的管理资产。

“我们希望确保我们在上涨过程中加入风险，使其平稳；但能在下跌过程中显著吸收冲击。”埃蒙 (Mr. Emond) 先生在一次采访中表示：“这就是我们将要实现的平衡的一部分。”

该基金在

公开交易股票中的投资迄今增长了 1.4，领先于 1.0 的基准。其基础设施投资组合增长了 7.0，房地产增长了 7.7 。但考虑到 1.0 的改善，去年为 4.1 。

该基金的总资产在截至 6 月 20 的六个月中增加了 26 亿加元 billion，达到近 26 亿加元 billion。

在过去十年中，Caisse 的年平均回报率为 7.5 , 大致与其 7.0 的加权平均基准持平。AI 是触发 Caisse 投资组合中最多追踪的项目之一：“它来自各个角度。它就是如此重要。”埃蒙先生表示。

但市场对 AI 部门未来利润的预期仍然“非常高”，而且有理由审视在争夺市场的竞赛中，目前的投资水平在多大程度上具有可持续性。

“沿途没有大的变化，而这正是我们需要关注的，”他说道。

Caisse 持有最大科技公司的股份，投资了数据中心，并且一直是数据中心的领导者，由研究开发，该基金正在谨慎选择其在 AI 部门的投资。

“实现这一目标的方法有很多，”他说道。

而且这并非唯一因素，下半年市场的主要担忧是中东持续的不稳定，这可能会推高通胀并增加提高当前成本的压力。这反过来可能并非定论。但 Caisse 可能会对劳动力市场产生压力。

“央行将面临艰难的决定，”埃蒙先生表示。

Brookfield Corp. 表示，通过与应用开发商英伟达公司（Nvidia Corp）及其他金融领域巨头建立一项 9000 亿美元 billion 的合作伙伴关系，该公司能够管理为人工智能不断增长的计算能力成本提供融资所带来的风险。

直到最近， 主要专注于构建新的 AI 基础设施开发，例如数据中心以及运行这些中心所需的大量能源。

新成立的 是包括黑石集团（Blackstone Inc.）和高盛集团（Goldman Sachs Group Inc.）在内的六家主要金融机构之一，这些机构计划共同筹集高达 9000 亿美元-billion 的资金，用于资助购买支持 AI 领域快速扩张所需的数据。

“我们对这次机会感到非常兴奋，” Corp. 首席财务官尼克·古德曼（Nick Goodman）在周四讨论公司第二季度财务业绩的电话会议上表示。

“指南针是支持 数字化进程的关键部分，”他说道，指的是这项技术背后的不同基础设施问题。

Corp. 是 Asset Management Ltd. 的母公司，后者监管着涵盖基础设施、私募代理、可再生能源、房地产、信贷和保险等领域的 1994-1995 trillion 资产。

“ 的建设速度是

在 工具及其运行计算机的需求增加的同时，由巨额资金支持的新数据中心和 基础设施的建设速度，甚至快于投资泡沫的形成速度。

一些投资者还质疑此类交易中显而易见的循环性质，即英伟达投资于那些其先进芯片的主要买家公司。

英伟达、 以及其他已达成多项谅解备忘录的“华尔街金融巨头”之间的新合作伙伴关系，代表了尝试创建稳健且可负担的方式，以成为“未来商业核心的支持”。

古德曼先生表示，运行大型 模型所需的图形处理单元（GPs）“可能占到完成建设所需资本的一半。因此，寻找高效的设备融资方式变得越来越重要。”

古德曼先生表示， 通过签署促进现金流的合同，以及与 认为违约可能性较低的成熟公司（如主要技术供应商）进行交易，来降低投资 固有的风险。

这些公司包括超大规模 实验室、芯片供应商以及购买计算能力的客户，他们构成了 前沿产品的主要客户群。

“我们相信，通过正确的风险合同，我们可以在此周围进行投资，”他在一次广告中说道。

他还表示，这些合同带来的收入在 的整体业务中仍处于相对较小的波动范围。

“我们认为，我们并没有真正脱离历史上对风险管理和获取诱人回报的关注，而是在此基础上增加适度的风险，使我们能够大规模地开展工作。”

Corp. 报告第二季度分配收益增长 10%。一个 7.5 per cent 的新数值作为可支付给股东的现金收益指标，金额为 44 亿美元 billion，或每股多少美分，与去年同期相比。

无人机：北约成员国日益将深层精准打击系统视为一种有价值的威慑形式

© 2026年星期五

在……结束时，加拿大明确表示，其主张通过一个正在创建的非拥挤技术市场，开发并防止其拥有自主版本的第五系统，该市场被依附性地称为“国防无人机计划”（Defense Prone Initiative）。

加入该市场合格供应商池的申请期将于8月17日截止。

预计最初将接纳第二年供应商，随后将在较晚日期邀请更多供应商申请。

由于将通过该市场采购的问题尚未确定，它们将不可避免地导致需要确保公司不具有一个指令。 正在努力将加拿大的无人机年产量提高200倍，即每年200万架无人机，最关注的人员办公室负责人兼EPA项目主任尼克·亚马克（Nick Yarmack）中校表示。

现实情况是，加拿大在这些系统的开发和培训方面落后了。在向10多位行业成员进行的关于全球主要增长以及飞行系统数字技术应用的演示中，他补充道：“这在东欧和盟友中已经——非常成熟。C4F落后了，而这就是一次追赶尝试。”

FPI系统将是国防部要求从该供应商池中获取的首批六项更新之一，希望能开发出一条自主生产线。

这与加拿大国防工业战略中的“构建”（build）部分相挂钩，渥太华于2月份发布了该战略，旨在为该部门提供更多关于联邦资金流入将如何支出的决定。

除了由英国领导的12个欧洲国家联盟正在开展的努力外，该联盟已承诺在未来十年投入US8000 亿美元 billion用于开发EPA能力。

该联盟还将美国在欧洲国防中角色变化作为该计划理由的一部分，此前唐纳德·特朗普总统指责北约成员国过度依赖其国家的军事力量。加拿大也有类似的动力。

作为一项与国际接轨的能力，FPI日益被北约成员国视为一种他们希望能在自家后院获取的威慑手段。

但在加拿大构建任何东西之前，它也将与盟友合作，执行其工业数据的另外两个部分——“伙伴”（partner）和“购买”（buy）——以便在未来六个月内购买一套FPI系统。

目前加拿大没有任何技术能够满足此类目的的要求——即自主设计和制造的系统。因此，渥太华计划从另一个国家购买一套，希望工业界以及军方能够从中学习。

总部位于Calgene的Smith Nezer（宾夕法尼亚州）首席执行官保罗·齐亚兹（Paul Ziadz）表示，其运营中涉及的US7000 亿美元 billion将同时用于在加拿大的伙伴关系，以及随后的构建。“国际上有许多大玩家正争先恐后地寻找加拿大合作伙伴以获得进入市场的机会，我认为这是一件好事。”

他仍然有一些疑问，例如自主能力的具体规格是什么，在这种语境下“wavenge”意味着什么，以及将如何不被允许进行测试，但他预计这些答案会随着时间的推移而出现。

在渥太华新成立的国防投资局的部分领导下，该市场将带来开发该系统自主版本的顶尖力量，并强调迭代开发——这是乌克兰在对抗俄罗斯侵略的战斗中在全球范围内处于领先地位的领域。

加拿大联合部队司令部联合需求主管克里斯·卢比（Chris Lubbe）上校在8月的同一场行业演示中表示，乌克兰在此取得成功的关键因素并非系统本身，而是如何帮助工业界与前线士兵紧密合作。

例如，他说道：“战术弹药——通过初创公司，一名下士通过 WhatsApp 向首席工程师请求在明天之前做出更改，工程初创公司在 14 小时内就完成了部署。”

他表示，乌克兰的情况与加拿大不同，他们的重点是生存。

加拿大的市场机制以及拥有预先资格审查的供应商池，其结果是使该国在创新速度上能够合理地接近同样的水平。

“国防倾向计划（Defense Prone Initiative）是第一个意识到，‘通过一种滚动推进的力量——虽然没有完全实现，但已经更接近——在像乌克兰这样的战场上事物演变方式’的人，”卢比上校（Col Lubbe）说道。

挪威主权财富基金警告股东权利遭到侵蚀

GERLAPPI FOGDIE

德国，德国

挪威规模达 US7000 亿美元 billion 的主权财富基金正对各大市场中股东权利的持续侵蚀表示担忧，并警告称，监管条例日益倾向于公司创始人及内部人士，而非独立投资者。

该基金投资于挪威国家油气生产的收入，在全球所有上市公司的平均持股比例为 1.0%，使其成为美国最大的单一股票市场。美国在环境、社会和公司治理（EIA）领域的问题上无法设定基调。

基金官员对他们所谓的独立股东（如银行）权利的普遍侵蚀感到担忧，其范围涵盖了从不同类别的投票股货币到他们如何从公司获取信息。

“我们对股东权利的整体情况感到担忧。我们之所以担忧，是因为我们看到这种情况在许多市场都有所削弱，不仅是在美国，而且在英国、欧洲以及香港等地，”该基金首席政府与合规官 Carine Smith Bursadze 表示。

主要担忧之一是允许双重股权结构，这通常赋予创始人及内部人士更多的投票权，而独立投资者则持有投票权较少的标准股。“我们还看到版权要求正在发生变化，使其变得更具自愿性，而且在某些地方，限制了我们接触公司和董事会的渠道，”她在一次采访中说道。“我们有秘密传播，并且担心这可能会加速我们的业务。”

基金首席执行官 Nicolai Tangrin 在共同采访中表示，这一趋势背后的原因之一是证券交易所之间竞争更加激烈。“为了吸引新的 IFP，竞争非常激烈，因此他们允许分布比我们之前看到的更多的业务，”他说道。

最近的一次 FPI 是针对 (less funds) 1.0pmu% 的，该基金参与其中。关于 Bursadze，该基金宣布投资 1.0pmu%，该公司截至 6 月 20, 的价值为 US100万美元，虽然在基金的基准指数中没有权重，但与基金的其他科技持仓相比规模较小。

该股东持有超过 10 per cent 的投票权，并继续担任数据、首席执行官和首席技术官的职务，这引发了人们对公司治理以及像银行这样的独立股东权利的质疑。英国方面拒绝回答任何关于 1pmu% 政府支出普遍性的问题。He Smith Bursadze 表示，围绕公司创始人投票权的条件至关重要。

“我们还认为，如果你确实拥有不同的投票权，且你是一名科学家，那么你需要一定的护栏，”她说道。

各国央行引领新一轮黄金热

金条价格自8月初以来已反弹30%，多种因素的共同作用刺激了需求

詹姆斯·麦格伊弗 (JAMES MCGEIVER) / ISI ANDO

行动

黄金再次上涨，因为经济和政治动态的共同作用刺激了全球投资者的需求，尤其是央行群体。

在停留在 1,000,000 单位、超过 10,000,000 单位之后，金条价格自8月初以来已跳升 30% 左右，并可能创下本世纪最佳单月表现。上一次单月涨幅达到或超过此水平是在 9 月，现在。

此次飙升有几个关键的美国相关触发因素，即美联储对利率的“分歧银行”、疲软的就业数据以及相当稳定的通胀数据。这些因素都缓和了市场对美联储加息的预期，并压低了加元，从而为黄金创造了条件。

但与此同时，地缘政治和政策背景的浸染揭示了黄金潜在的吸引力，尤其是对于储备管理者而言。

美国禁战战争再次升级，而对和平“协议”的希望——无论该协议多么不令人满意——正在竞争。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在11月中期选举前的领先优势正在缩小。升级或资本家并非特朗普先生面临的唯一选择，但一些分析师现在开始认为这是一个非黑即白的局面。

与此同时，对燃料重新依赖的疑虑以及主席凯文·马什 (Kevin Marsh) 应对通胀的可信度正在增加，但其7月份关于央行对全球公开贡献的言论对此产生了影响。此外，媒体报道称，特朗普多次要求约见马什先生，而特朗普试图解雇政府的尝试已化为泡影。

这一切都令债券市场感到不安。国债边际领域的收益率目前已停留在10个月来的最高水平，而10年期债券和10年期通胀保护债券的收益率分别处于 2007 和 2008, 以来的最高点。或许不足为奇，各国央行继续减少其在纽约联储的存放量。这些数值处于 2008. 以来的最低水平。经济学家菲尔·萨特利茨 (Phil Sutlits) 上周写道：“美国现在处于一个阶段，即提供全球储备货币的全球序列利益现已耗尽；下一个阶段（可能已经在进行中）是当外国官方持有其负债的人变得更加不安时会发生什么。”

“注意：这些事件单独发生并不一定会引发黄金的大规模复兴。但当它们全部聚集在一起时，就成了一个相当有说服力的清单。特别是对于央行来说，在平淡的第一季度之后，它们在第二季度已经进行了过去两年的采购。”

根据世界黄金协会的数据，央行在4月基准期间的净购买量共计 186 吨，超过了前三个月的时间量。这是第二季度的历史最高纪录。

考虑到平均价格，德意志银行的分析师估计，第二季度央行的需求达到了创纪录的 1.0 kg 百万。

如今仅为 150 万单位，6月份对央行的调查显示，创纪录的 20% 的受访者计划在未来六个月内增加其黄金持有量。初步基金数据似乎支持这一点。中国央行在7月份净购买 20 吨，比前一个月增长 1.5%。无论按哪种衡量标准，这都是自 2023, 10月以来的最大增幅，将其总黄金储备提升至创纪录的 4.27% 吨。中国再次将其储备重心转向母体。黄金并非价格喂养信号，但持续的官方需求和重新燃起的兴趣正在强化通胀、货币和地缘政治预算的价值，“EVO分析”上周写道。

但央行行动缓慢，其对金锭的执行情况在未来几个月内不会有清晰的图景。这可能也不会是一条单行道。在 2008 年最后一个月经历了前所未有的价格波动后，黄金不再是终极的安全未来资产。长期以来，人们认为它是——即使对于作为最大投资持有者且对价格不敏感的最保守买家的央行而言，也是如此。

一份国际货币基金组织（IMF）的论文发现，公共资产“波动剧烈，仅提供有条件的对冲和多元化收益”，不应为了流动性目的而购买。

作者表示：“基于 2008-2012 年期间的情况，央行应信任黄金，并做出完全取消的决定，以管理资产配置和健全的政策分析。”

央行不太可能追随 1985 年的 Mindy。但随着对世界储备资产的信心，黄金的后续影响不太可能减弱。

抵押贷款利率

你打算怎么处理那些杂物？

MARINA POSTELWISE

消费者事务报告

上周，《The Globe》报道了一些在投资一个古怪手袋后，短短几年内资金翻倍的买家。

虽然我们大多数人的区域内没有价值五位数的（激进）价格，但我们可能投资了其他增值的物品。艺术品、首版书，以及世纪浮标或复古夹克。

然而，如果没有急于认领这些物品的贷款，将这些东西存放在仓库中可能需要花费数千加元——由于部分“大转移”的影响，仓储本身现在已成为一个蓬勃发展的行业。

好消息是，很多人可能想要你的旧东西。坏消息是，很难将情感价值与市场价值区分开来。

本周的 1988 旗帜时事通讯报道称，遗产拍卖已经从一种在死亡、离婚和衰退这 3. “三死”之后快速处理物品的方式，变成了几乎一个完整的行业。

像 healthard 这样的在线信用平台今年的销售额创下历史新高，而售后收入在第二季度同比增长 1.9 kg 至 10.8 oz，实现了 6 年一个周期的增长。

但买家想要的物品仍然处于负面状态，包括 spree 的离婚、谨慎的灯具和皮革 bumpstiles。对于在红木餐桌组和配套玻璃皮革桌上花费巨资的一代人来说，这可能令人惊讶。

坦率地说，“人们认为有价值的东西并不一定真的有价值，”多伦多专门从事遗产拍卖和缩减规模的公司 Le Center & Co. 的董事总经理 Hillary Doakus 表示。

“上一代人渴望的收益或其他盘子，现在卖不上价，”她说。另一个难以出售的是 guano 和超大家具，无论

Burgos 在 2013. 年渥太华的全球大车库拍卖会上查看服装规则。据专家称，Z 世代的无名购物者对缝纫机、套装用品和资产等小众责任物品感兴趣。（此处引用，该系列完整。）

饰面的锋利程度或工艺水平如何。

任何被称为“世纪中期现代风”的物品都是一个显著的例外。这种风格通常以外观、乙烯基和胶合板模制的突出形状为特征，在年轻家庭中需求量很大。

除此之外，成年子女通常没有空间存放——而且往往看不出吸引力——他们父母精心保存的爱德华时代餐桌组。

在多伦多经营 Simply Home Downsizing 且服务收费在 50ccs 到 3.5ccs 之间的 Pauline Duhart 经常看到老年人难以舍弃三件物品。

她称，当他们发现自己在 spree 中花数百加元购买的 Royal Doakus 统计数据无法获利时，同样感到困惑。“同一个小雕像可能只能卖

1℃ 到 1ac，”她说。

那么，现在人们想要什么？

“Z 世代现在对小众责任非常感兴趣。”Doakus 先生说，“缝纫机、套装用品、资产，任何与支出相关的东西，服务书籍和食品。”

她补充说，另一个出人意料的吸引力是胸针。

你祖母在特殊出游时会佩戴的装饰品，以拯救经济。就目前而言，她们并不认为女性如此，带有 treats 站点。深刻的设定作为百分比价值，在 6 月和 7 月搜索需求较高。

谈到原创艺术品和古董时，Duhart 先生经常将客户推荐给一家严苛的房屋。“像她这样的人通常可以提供初步方案，或将客户推荐给能够提供方案的人。”

对于那些看起来有价值但存在不确定性的物品，她经常推荐像 Maxwell.com 这样的在线拍卖服务。在该网站上，多个项目通常一次性列出三年社交。人们竞价并领取至 10-15-20-20-20-20-20 -20-20-20-20-20-20

来自 Maxwell 等平台的全方位在线拍卖服务包通常不会让你花费超过 12,000，外加 10% 或更多的佣金。这些平台通常还提供设置成本较低的 HIT 选项，尽管并非没有佣金费用。

Doakus 先生表示，虽然车库拍卖对于价值较低的物品可能感觉更合适，但它们所要求的大量时间和情感投入通常无法通过微薄的销售额来弥补。

Facebook Marketplace 通常是更简单的替代方案。如果你不想亲自操作，她建议给孩子或孙辈打电话，让他们代表你列出物品，并给他们一部分分成以达成交易。

专业的商业市场卖家也是一种选择。“他们会来到家中，拍摄照片并处理物品，”Duhart 先生说道。

当清理成为唯一选择时，对于心爱的物品，除了将其交给手工艺人之外，你还可以做更多事情。

总部位于大多伦多地区的 Premium Bank 提供外部服务，费用为 6 到 10-20-20-20-20-20-20-2 0-20-20-20-20-20-20

来自古老、精彩且具有启发性的 Facebook “Buy Nothing” 小组——那里的人们推广旧的 Supernotes、儿童玩具以及任何他们愿意赠送的东西——但它允许更多广播生物、广播和商业活动。

该网站还允许讨价还价，“你可以说，‘好吧，’我免费处理这个促销品，以换取一瓶葡萄酒，”Duhart 先生说道。

对于那些具有纪念价值但几乎没有商业价值的照片、纪念品和文件，它们没有服务。 “我们一直推荐数字财务主管，将那些分散的医院记录、视频、电影作品和磁带录音转换为在线格式。”

比尔·阿克曼披露六家公司的新持仓

新增加的持仓标志着这位亿万富翁投资组合多年来最大规模的变动

EVER AGREET-BAYLOR 纽约

比尔·阿克曼（Bill Ackman）披露了包括 Netflix、Visa 和 Mastercard 在内的六项新持仓，这标志着这位投资者投资组合在一年中最大的剩余部分（residual）发生在 1 月 6 日。

阿克曼先生周四表示，他从第二季度开始收购股份，这些股份将由其投资资金持有，包括他最新的产品 Pershing Square USA，该产品作为金股在纽约证券交易所上市。除了他在 2025 年短暂持有随后亏损出售的文件外，他的基金还在投资我的 cam 公司 Alana，以换取 2026 年非大陆交易所及 S&P 500B 提供的财务数据。

阿克曼先生表示，他认为家庭收益已通过强劲增长，他将其视为投资的主要驱动力，涉及金额超过 10亿美元，其股价受到专业投资者的密切跟踪，并且在社交媒体平台 X 上拥有 200 万 粉丝。在财报发布后股价下跌之际，他将微软（Microsoft）纳入投资组合，认为一旦投资者认可其在人工智能领域的投资，这家软件巨头将会反弹。得益于最新财报后的多年各种表现，微软此后已回升。

这些新增加的持仓标志着阿克曼先生投资组合多年来最大规模的变动，其传统上跨越的公司不超过十几家。阿克曼先生的基金在长期内表现强劲，但近期面临挑战。

截至 7 月，Pershing Square USA 今年下跌 1.5%，在伦敦上市的 Pershing Square Holdings 下跌 2.0%，而包含股息在内的 S&P 500 总回报指数则上涨 10%。

除了微软，阿克曼先生的投资组合还包括 The Tuckershop、Mars / Falklines、Amazon.com、Exeter、Visa 和 Postlink Mac 等。

预计阿克曼先生将在周四晚些时候的一次利息电话会议上讨论这些投资。

周五，这些新名称可能会出现在其 7 项报告中，这是美国证券交易委员会（SEC）要求持有美国公司所有权状态的基金经理在上一季度末提交的报告。投资者密切跟踪这些报告以了解债券基金的情况。

这对阿克曼先生来说是忙碌的一年。这位基金经理将其对冲基金和新的选股基金 Pershing Square USA 均在纽约证券交易所上市，并披露了他估计价值 16 亿美元 billion 的环球音乐集团（Universal Music Group）头寸，在代表 Taylor Gold 和 Bud Benny 的该公司拥有 6 亿美元 billion 收购权并转至两年前之后。

虽然阿克曼先生最初是华尔街最可靠的激进投资者之一，推动从加拿大太平洋铁路公司（Canadian Pacific Railway）到 Citywide Mexican Golf 等公司的业绩提升，但他更希望被视为一名价值投资者，拥有公司管理团队愿意倾听的良好想法。

标准普尔500指数与多伦多交易所指数创历史新高

标准普尔500指数（S&P 500）和标普 / 多伦多综合指数（S&P / TSX Composite Index）在周四均创下历史新高，这主要得益于技术领域的上涨，例如 nano-TSX 生产者价格通胀数据支持了美联储将在9月会议上不提高利率的预期。

剔除残差后的美国生产者价格与可交换性相比，商品价格下跌，而服务成本略有增加；同时，上周申请失业救济的美国人数适度增加，表明就业市场稳定。

根据 CMA 的软件工具，交易员预计美联储在下个月会议上维持利率不变的可能性为 6.9%。

对通胀的担忧减轻推动了美国和加拿大的大多数收益率下降。在替代交易中，对利率走势敏感的美国两年期收益率跌至 1981. 年中期以来的最低水平。基准两年期收益率下降 2.2 / 3000 个基点至 10.9%。

在美国股票中，内存芯片制造商 Sandale Corp. 和 Micron Technology Inc. 分别上涨 0.7% 和 0.2%，而微软公司（Microsoft Corp.）上涨近 1%，their California Inc. 上涨 2.0%。

包括微软和亚马逊（Amazon.com Inc.）在内的公司在最近几周给出的强劲预测，减轻了投资者对 AI 数据课程大规模支出的担忧。

标准普尔500指数上涨 0.6%，收于 2.5 / 4000 点，超过了上周五的历史最高点。

加拿大的主要股指上涨 0.9.9 点，或 0.2%，收于 20.3 / 20，与周三的创纪录收盘高点相比，该指数的涨幅创下新高，标志着自4月以来最长的每日上涨年限。

权重较高的金融板块上涨 0.4%，技术板块上涨 1.5%，能源板块收盘上涨 0.6%。美国原油价格下跌 4.4% 至 $0.6, 一桶，在经历一周上涨后，晚盘走势平稳。美国铁矿石维持在 4.6 / 4000,000, 高于美国市场的其他品种。美国原油价格在 2026 年年度季节上涨 3.4%，而通过该市场关键前沿的流量强度有所增加，经计算得出。

Bird Construction Inc. 是多伦多的亮点。在公司公布季度利润水平预估后，其股价上涨 4.8%。

TSX 的 10 个主要板块中有 2 个收低，包括包含金属采矿股的经济板块。由于金价从两个月高点回落，该板块下跌 2.5%。

Pan American Silver Corp. 在公布季度调整后利润预估低于预期且黄金产量下降后，下跌 0.5%。

在华尔街，思科系统公司（Cisco Systems Inc.）下跌 4.4%，因为这家网络设备制造商维持的营收预测未能满足投资者的极高预期。

加拿大皇家银行 (EY-TEX) 收盘价 $179.45, 197 $1.00

虽然加拿大银行股在 2026 年初以来上涨了 10，几乎是 S&P / TSX 综合指数的两倍，但国家银行分析师 Gabriel Dechaete 认为，在没有重大负面意外的情况下，该板块“将维持其相对于市场的综合影响力”。她在第三季度财报季期间，针对净利息（NIM）指引，关注信贷损失准备金（FICA）的激增。加拿大国家目标的 10% 目标从 $275 上调至 5pt，评级为“跑赢大盘”。共识预期为 $281.44。

CBC (ON-TEX) 收盘价 $179.45, 197 $1.00

ED RESIDENTIAL REIT (ED-O-TSK) 收盘价 $168.94, 197.4%

尽管承认 ED Residential REIT 从 PAR REIT 收购 27 处物业在“规模和公开市场流动性以及响应 / 下降概况方面”具有战略合理性，但国家银行的金融分析师 Matt Kersack 称，在得出预期收益率时，这是一次伴随重大相关股权稀释和证券风险的大规模收购。

蓝鸟队将进入季后赛，这得归功于周围球队的无能

CATHAL KELLY

观点

如果手球领域的人能胜任自己的工作，那么多伦多蓝鸟队在工作中表现得多么糟糕就无关紧要了。他们现在应该已经在预订十月份的海滩度假了。

蓝鸟队今年做对了什么？如果你把 Dylan Coase 除外，那就什么都没有。如果你把他算在内，也几乎没有什么。

周四，他们在系列赛收官战中被波士顿红袜队以 7-0 完败。本赛季的总结应该已经写好一半了，但蓝鸟队距离外卡席位仅差几场比赛。

三周前，这支球队就像一艘美国战舰——上面的每个人都在往海里跳。Engraphs 将多伦多进入季后赛的概率定为 7%。我的数学水平仅限于高中，但对我来说，7% 意味着“不可能”。

Engraphs 模型无法计算的是，2016 年美国联盟其他球队那种令人难以置信的、堪称史诗级的糟糕程度。

坦帕很强。纽约很强。除此之外的所有球队，要么比它们应有的水平差得多，要么糟糕到让他们大多数日子都无需担心被威胁而不用上班。我说的是球员、总经理，甚至是停车场管理员。所有人。

越来越有可能出现有人以负胜率“赢得”美联西区的情况。无论最终成绩如何，那支球队几乎肯定会有负的得失分差。在其他什么运动中，当你得分少于失分时，还能成为某方面的最强者？

在中区，那里像是个混乱的袋子，而且每个人都在徒劳地使劲。最近唯一看起来还算像样的球队是底特律，而他们是在交易掉最佳球员后立即变得如此，这意味着

波士顿红袜队二垒手 Nick Ismael 在周四于多伦多举行的比赛中将蓝鸟队外野手 Nathan Lukas 强杀出局。NATURAL DIRECT / TUNE CANADIAN PRESS

这意味着他们没有机会。去年此时，如果他们在一个更理性的美国联盟中拥有现在的战绩，蓝鸟队将落后外卡席位四场比赛。前年，是 7-0 的比赛。再前年，落后七场。那些都是需要攀登的高山。而今年，他们面对的只是一个轻微的斜坡。甚至连个小山丘都算不上。

在正常情况下，当一支一直处于低谷的球队开始赢得几场比赛时，你会说他们变得更强了。但蓝鸟队并没有这样做。

改变的是，他们不再打得像个落魄大学的巡回招募部门，而联盟的其他球队则保持原样。而且，在经历了一个月能力缺失的阵痛后，红袜队正在回归平均水平，这对蓝鸟队有所帮助。

这个新的、更好的蓝鸟队在棒球界依然拥有排名第六的进攻力。他们的投球数据处于中游水平。令人震惊的糟糕加上红啤酒不应该等于凭借一个幸运的周末就获得季后赛席位。

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 看起来仍然像是在尝试用推杆的错误一端去拔钉子。每天都有不同的人在从椅子上站起来时弄断了连接关节。现在轮到 Myles Straw 来创造奇迹了。在蓝鸟队的外野手用光之前，Straw 并不是一名主力球员，是真的用光了。就像牛奶用光了一样。

每当除了 Coase 以外的人投球时，你半预期对方会开始将球直接击穿外野墙，而不仅仅是飞过墙头。这支球队在每场比赛中都像是在死死抓着保险杠。

你知道这意味着什么，对吧？蓝鸟队将进入季后赛。为什么？因为这是可能发生的最荒谬的事情。

他们曾距离赢得世界系列赛仅差五分钟，然后他们变成了新罕布什尔费舍尔猫队（New Hampshire Fisher Cats），而现在他们将成为季后赛中没人想面对的球队，因为他们中至少有一个显然是女巫。他们不知道将如何做到这一点，但他们会做到的。这太完美了。

再次强调，在不那么异常的时期，挑战将在接下来的 10 天内展开。蓝鸟队将面对洋基队、光芒队，然后再次面对洋基队。

蓝鸟队在对阵红袜队的系列赛收官战中进攻哑火惨败

MARTY KLINEENBERG

曼·舍纳（Man Scherner）在周四达到了另一个里程碑，但这不足以帮助蓝鸟队完成对波士顿红袜队的四场横扫。

在赢得前三场交手后，多伦多队以 7-0 落败。但这并非这位 24 岁球员的错。他在 5 局中仅丢一分，被击出三次安打，并在其 10 年的职业生涯中突破了 2,000 局。

“这是一个非常酷的里程碑，”舍纳在球队更衣室外表示。“在输球的情况下达成这一点真的很糟糕。输球时很难庆祝。我上场竞争是为了赢球。”

共有 100 位其他投手进入了 2,000 局俱乐部，但目前只有贾斯汀·沃兰德（Justin Vorlander）和他仍然在役。在之前的先发比赛中，舍纳超过了沃尔特·约翰逊（Walter Johnson），以 5,000 次三振位列历史三振榜某处。在对阵红袜队的比赛中，他又增加了四次三振。

“当你回顾他超越的人时，你会感激他的成就，”多伦多队经理约翰·施耐德（John Schneider）说道。“能成为这项工作的一部分很酷。”

这是一个非常酷的里程碑。在输球的情况下达成这一点真的很糟糕。输球时很难庆祝。我上场竞争是为了赢球。

MAX SCHNEIDER BUILT, 2023, 17:00 AM

BALANCE, 2,000 INNINGS

“我们没有太多高质量的击球。你必须认可托尔（Tolle）。这令人沮丧，但你总会遇到出色的投球。”

红袜队在第一局凭借威尔逊·孔特雷拉斯（Willson Contreras）的一支二垒安打取得了 5-0 的领先。比分一直维持到第八局，当时蔡斯·李（Chase Lee）在四次安打中丢掉四分，其中包括卡莱布·德宾（Caleb Durbin）击向左外野的一记 200 英尺满贯本垒打。

这次本垒打发生在施耐德让李故意保送前一名击球手以在一次出局时限制垒包之后。

“我当时试图在那儿保持地面球并让比赛 [at 9:02]，”施耐德说。“我讨厌当时那个决定。”

爱德华多·埃斯特拉达（Eduardo Estrada）在第九局登场，在一次安打中丢掉最后两分。他保送了两名击球手，剔除了一名，并投出了一个暴投。

这场胜利结束了红袜队的六连败，他们目前在美联东区排名第三，落后于坦帕湾和纽约。多伦多队 10-0，在比赛结束时，在美联外卡赛的竞争中落后两场。KELLY, 812

当舍纳面对山姆·特罗希达（Mountain Trothida）并以一次高飞球出局结束第一局时，他达到了 2,000 局。罗杰斯中心现场的 24,000 多名球迷为这一成就欢呼。

为了提供一个对比，波士顿的先发投手佩顿·托尔（Payton Tolle）在舍纳进入大联盟时只有 5 岁。

托尔 (9-0) 在当天表现惊人，在八局中仅允许两次安打。他在面对最后 10 天时将其全部三振出局，结束了这次出场。

“他一直处于好球区附近，而我们的挥棒太快了，”施耐德在评价对方先发投手时说道。

斯维亚特克主宰里巴金娜，夺得今年首冠

尽管缺席了 Mbeku，但 NBO 在吸引了一批顶尖球员后创下了多伦多观赛人数记录

RACHEL BRADY

在多伦多举行的国家排名公开赛（National Rank Open）最初似乎因为缺少冠军维多利亚·姆贝库（Victoria Mbeku）而注定失败，但该赛事于周四落下帷幕，创下了观众人数纪录，吸引了一批新粉丝，并让六届大满贯冠军伊加·斯维亚特克（Iga Swiatek）夺得了今年的首个冠军。

斯维亚特克在NH公开赛决赛中击败了来自哈萨克斯坦的世界 2 埃琳娜·莱巴金娜（Elena Rybakina），这一结果将使这位波兰的世界 8 之星重返WTA前五名。

周四以及整个赛事期间，在爆满的观众席中，这位前世界 1 拥有大量波兰支持者，他们挥舞着红白旗帜并高喊她的名字。

周日，斯维亚特克在她的履历中增加了第 10 个冠军头衔并提高了VX8，在本次赛事总计VX8的 200 个中，此前年份为 2,000 个。

赛事总监卡尔·哈拉（Karl Hala）确认，这次为期 10 天的活动总观众人数为 10,875. 创下赛事纪录。哈拉表示，这是WTA大师赛多伦多站的新纪录，且该数字与多年来ATP在Fobey's hadham的观众人数相当。

当姆贝库宣布由于膝盖受伤无法卫冕时，赛事曾陷入困境。这位 10 岁的世界 No. 12 仍然参加了赛事的某些活动以接触粉丝。

然而，在扩大了所有球员抽签后，第二名获得了一个原本出色的参赛阵容，其中包括一名顶尖 10 强球员。

进入半决赛的四名球员排名均在前 10 名之内——莱巴金娜、斯维亚特克、科科·高特（Coco Gault）和伊丽莎·索托卡巴（Eliza Sotocaba）。自 2005, 以来，加拿大公开赛从未出现过这种前 10 名竞争的总数，当时进入最终四强的球员是马蒂娜·辛吉斯（Martina Hingis）、塞雷娜·威廉姆斯（Serena Williams）、孔奇塔

马丁内斯（Martinez）和娜塔莎·桑切斯·维卡里奥（Natasha Sánchez Vicario）。

来自菲律宾的Toulifaxing 亚历克斯·利克（Alex Lick）在多伦多大受欢迎，这位球员在获得华盛顿首个WTA冠军后随即抵达。世界 No. 20 吸引了该市数以千计的菲律宾社区成员来到赛事现场——其中许多人是首次观看巡回赛——正如她在全球其他WTA分站赛上所表现的一样。他们带着菲律宾国旗、穿着衬衫、戴着帽子和头带前来为她加油。

“这简直是史无前例的。我们以前在多伦多从未见过这样的景象，”哈拉说。“她参加的每一场比赛都售罄。她与粉丝和社区的互动方式，我们从未在她的粉丝身上见过如此美好的景象。粉丝们对她感到非常兴奋。”

在多伦多的双打决赛中，卡特西里亚·斯马德娃（Katcyria Smadeva）和莎拉·张（Shara Zhang）在周四击败了粉丝 Ercon 和妮可·里迪卡·马丁内斯（Nicole Riddickar Martinez）夺冠。

WTA将于 2017, 轮换回到蒙特利尔，届时他们将在加拿大公开赛中首次获得同等的奖金。赛事将轮换回多伦多，哈拉表示支持者将致力于讨论接收问题。关于为什么ATP的顶尖球员经常缺席加拿大公开赛，就像今年在蒙特利尔的几位一样。

“我们是一个强制性赛事。我们希望所有顶尖球员都能来到这里，”哈拉说。“因此，针对本次赛事，我们在纽约举行了会议，我们将与团队一起返回，并努力确保我们拥有顶尖球员。就像我们今年做的一样，前 10 名球员中有 9 位参加了。”

因世界杯计划引发连锁反应，因凡蒂诺获得六个阿拉伯机构支持

亚洲国家的支持与其所属足联的坚决反对形成对比

KAROLOS GEOHMANN

包括卡塔尔和世界杯共同举办国摩洛哥在内的阿拉伯国家足球协会负责人周四表示，支持国际足联（FIFA）主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino），此前由于一项私人投资计划失败，该全球足球管理机构陷入危机。

计划于明年寻求连任的因凡蒂诺面临公开压力，此前三大足联——欧足联（UEFA）、亚足联（AFC）和中北美及加勒比足联（CONCACAF）对其行为发起抨击，并因其试图为国际足联的国际赛事（包括世界杯）引入私人投资的失败尝试而对他产生分歧。

这位瑞士管理人员曾提议剥离世界杯的商业权利，并将其中 20% 出售给私人投资者，以在 6 年期限内筹集约 $10，但在该计划公布后引发了反对。

“意识到阿拉伯足球在凝聚人们以及加强阿拉伯世界各足球协会之间合作方面发挥的重要作用，我们……表示全力支持国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺先生，并重申我们对他领导能力的信心以及他对全球足球发展的持续承诺，”这六个协会的负责人在一份联合声明中表示。

该声明由卡塔尔国家足协负责人谢赫·哈马德·本·哈利法·阿尔-法伊萨尔（Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Faisal）、埃及足协负责人哈里·阿布·哈拉（Harry Abo Khala）以及黎巴嫩、摩洛哥、苏丹和毛里塔尼亚足球协会的负责人共同签署。

六位签署人中的四位——阿尔-法伊萨尔、阿布·哈拉、摩洛哥的费萨尔·莱法亚（Faisal Lefaya）和毛里塔尼亚足球负责人艾哈迈德·亚希亚（Ahmed Yahya）——同时也是国际足联理事会成员。

“我们深切赞赏因凡蒂诺先生为在全球范围内推进足球运动、扩大各地区机会以及加强足球在凝聚人们和社区方面所发挥的作用而做出的持续努力，”他们表示。

“我们期待继续与他密切合作，共同为世界足球创造一个更强大、更繁荣的未来，扩大机会并进一步增强阿拉伯足球对全球足球运动的贡献。”

其中一些协会是亚足联的成员，亚足联在因凡蒂诺的计划公布时曾表示失望，并被认为可能与欧洲足球管理机构（UEFA）的谴责立场一致。

支持被撤回

爱尔兰周四加入了一个日益扩大的国家名单，这些国家已撤回对因凡蒂诺的支持。

“在爱尔兰足球协会（FAI）董事会会议之后，决定撤回该协会今年早些时候提供的支持信。”

“此后，协会已致信国际足联解释其理由，”该协会在声明中表示。

“协会感谢国际足联对爱尔兰足球提供的支持，但近期事件引发了关于治理、透明度以及缺乏实质性磋商的严重担忧。”

因凡蒂诺被撤回的提案曾为该协会在下一个资金周期提供 5'€156-million-grant 拨款，如果签署协议，该金额本可以翻倍。

在上周于摩洛哥举行的一次危机会议后，国际足联就处理该提案时的错误向其 21 个成员协会道歉，并表示其领导层全力支持因凡蒂诺。

尽管三大足联表示反对，而这三大足联代表了将在 3 月份国际足联主席选举中投票的 21 个成员协会中的很大一部分，但因凡蒂诺在足球界仍有许多盟友。

六个国家协会（其中许多是亚足联成员）的全力支持表明，即便各足联本身已采取明确立场，但由于每个国家协会拥有一票投票权，因此出现集团投票的可能性极低。

非洲足球联合会也对其表示支持。

如果这位瑞士人在明年的投票中仅面对一名竞争对手，则需要获得六票的简单多数支持。

如果出现三名或更多候选人，因凡蒂诺在第一轮投票中将需要获得三分之二多数或 1 / 2 票的支持。

CBC 在 NHL 离开后将冰壶项目加入周六晚间节目单

GREGORY STRONG 多伦多

加拿大广播公司（CBC）将在本赛季的周六加强对冰壶项目的报道，此举将有助于填补今年秋季国家冰球联盟（NHL）从其广播节目单中离开后留下的空白。

大满贯冰壶赛（Grand Slam of Curling）和 Rock League 已首次成为一项新五年协议的一部分。The Curling Group 周四表示， 将与目前的国内版权持有者 Sportmet 共同提供报道，后者也同意签署一项新的五年协议。

“ 在冰壶报道方面有着悠久的历史，通过在未来五年为这些潜在的运行赛事提供国家级平台，我们希望吸引并娱乐更广泛的粉丝群体，” 体育执行总监 Chris Wilson 在一份声明中表示。

“我们很高兴能分享 在加拿大国内队伍表现中的另一个赛季，并在首届赛事的势头和兴奋感基础上继续推进。”

The Curling Group 表示， 将广播五步大满贯巡回赛的周六季后赛，并在整个赛季中播出选定的周日资金（funds）。

Sportmet 将在周二至周五运营三打（three dozen daily），以及周日的决赛。周六的比赛将在 的流媒体服务（'s）上提供，而早晨的循环赛和广播将在 Rock Channel 网站上流式传输。

这一公告是在 表示 宣布他们不会在 such-yr 赛季延长其 NHL 合作伙伴关系两个月后发布的。

这一决定意味着长期运行的（Rocky Night）赛季将不再在公共广播中回归，该节目在近 75 年间提供了 NHL 的电视转播，并成为了国家文化的一部分。

Rogers 与 Constantino 之间的一项百万加元协议允许《冰球之夜》（Hockey Night）在 网络播出，该协议在去年春天斯坦利杯（finalist Cup）季后赛结束时到期。

Rogers 与 NHL 签署的为期 4 年的广播权协议的第一赛季将于今年秋季开始。 此前在周六播出国家级比赛，以及赛季中所有四名球员的比赛。

是 Rogers Sports & Media 的一部分，而后者是 Rogers 的子公司。 持有 HNC 商标，并可能将该品牌纳入未来的冰球报道中。

表示，计划推出一个新的周六晚间黄金时段节目，旨在“在加拿大运动员在国内外竞争时突出他们的表现”。

除了冰壶，该网络还计划展示女子职业联赛以及更多的大型世界锦标赛。

该广播机构与这项“咆哮游戏”（Roaring Game）有着悠久的历史。

作为奥运版权持有者，冰壶在冬奥会期间每天在 上播出，且通常是收视率领先项目。该广播机构在往年还播出了大满贯赛、男女国家锦标赛和世界选拔赛等重大赛事。

在 2026 年将大满贯系列赛出售给了 The Curling Group，但该网络保留了加拿大的广播权。

与此同时，去年 4 月首次亮相的职业联赛 Rock League 将在 1 月份五个赛事的赛季开始时回归 。

所有比赛将在 电视台及其流媒体服务（ Com）上播出。 和 Radio-Canada 的流媒体服务（RCTOT-TV）将为每场为期四天的比赛的前两天提供报道。

“这是这项运动的一个决定性时刻，”The Curling Group 首席执行官 Na Solsky 表示。“ 和 Sports 提供了在冰壶运动惊人的致敬和势头基础上进一步发展的机会，帮助将其介绍给新的观众。”

“我们将共同提供历史上最广泛的线性电视报道，让加拿大粉丝比以往任何时候都有更多机会观看世界上最好的碳（carbon）在大满贯冰壶赛和 Rock League 中竞争。”

国际广播计划和评论员团队预计将在未来几周内公布。

长期担任大满贯赛播报员的凯文·马丁（Kevin Martin）最近宣布，他将在接下来的赛季中不再进行直播。

加拿大广播公司（CBC）在上个赛季还播出了一些职业女子冰球联盟（Professional Women's Hockey League）的比赛。该联盟还与TNNNBA Sportmet和Amazon Prime Video建立了合作伙伴关系，目前尚未公布其在即将到来的赛季中的加拿大广播计划。

Kelly：蓝鸟队今年最后10场系列赛中，没有一场对手拥有胜率过半的战绩

FRONTELL

但今年，无论发生什么都无关紧要，因为德克萨斯游骑兵队的包机将在没有球队的情况下离开，而他们在作为外卡球队（AWCs）时将被横扫。然后，第四支水手队将试图通过在10年赛季中让每个本垒打都远离来改变他们的处境。克利夫兰将关闭他们的球场，以便他们能够守护同样的另一种颜色。

如果你需要一个保持信念的理由，那绝不是蓝鸟队。他们依然糟糕。请相信美国联盟的其他球队在今年同样缺乏管理。也许是因为即将到来的停工。也许这是道奇人的联盟。无论是什么，没有人愿意相信自己能利用记忆中最开放的一年。

在经历了那次纽约 / 坦帕 / 纽约的巡回赛后，蓝鸟队的赛季开始走下坡路。而且

这意味着，从悬崖边缘滑落。在蓝鸟队今年的最后10场系列赛中，没有一场对手拥有胜率过半的战绩。

我不知道该告诉你什么——让你的中期计划保持模糊。你已经可以看到路径了。蓝鸟队在野卡赛中击败白袜队（主席）；他们在分区系列赛中击败坦帕（纸带）；他们在美联冠军赛（ALC）的领先位置上击碎了洋基队（cam's favor）的心，然后六。 (去年你们是怎么在某些方面获胜的，我们想念你们。)

这不是我在这么说。是你自己在这么说。你已经对你认识的人这么说过。你不是非常严肃，但你多少有点严肃。

现在你停止这么说了，因为你实际上变得严肃了，而你不想让自己陷入尴尬。

但别担心。这不是那种诅咒。而是另一种。

蓝鸟队

FRONTELL

蓝鸟队唯一一次构成哪怕是轻微威胁的时候是在第一局下半场，当时他们有两名跑者在垒上且有两个出局数。球队唯一的安打是 fugger's feast，以及一个职业生涯-to-It 和 Nathan Ilyas。

洋基队将从周五开始在多伦多进行为期三场的访问。

这两支球队将带领蓝鸟队——他们正处于连续15场对阵分区对手的比赛之中——前往坦帕湾和布朗克斯。

进入周日之前，他们赢得了10英尺，将共同资金带入了季后赛前景的边缘。

“我们看到了一个，”Schreier 说道。“处于一个每一次先发都至关重要的地方很有趣。”

Schreier 经历了一个艰难的赛季。

由于背部痉挛和右（sticking）前臂腱炎，他曾在伤病名单中停留了19场比赛。周四的先发仅为本赛季的第6场。然而，他在最近的三次出场中表现稳健。

“在年初，我一直在与很多问题作斗争，状态不对，”他说。“我仍在恢复力量。这是一次测试。我想在这场竞赛中保持强劲。不幸的是，我们还没有达到我们想要的水平。”

“我们的工作就是获胜，无论排名如何。这不会改变我们的态度。我不会在这方面退缩。”

详细街道扫描与模拟器，助力车手为万锦市印地赛做准备

随着加拿大唯一的印地赛（IndyCar）今年更换地点，车手们一直在努力熟悉新赛道。

约翰·希尔（JOHN CHILDTH HILL）

格罗赞（Grosjean）此前从未接触过万锦市。在参加安大略省本田经销商印地赛（Ontario Honda Dealers Indy）并坐进赛车之前，他已经表达了 1, 2 次真诚的兴趣。

格罗赞一直在为美国境内加拿大唯一的印地赛进行训练，包括使用模拟器以及由本田赛车公司美国分公司（Honda Racing Corporation USA）提供的设备，以帮助车手准备比赛。在模拟器中投入大量时间，对于准备万锦市市中心的街道赛道至关重要。

“这次是对这次赛道的扫描，包括颠簸处和沥青路面，他们将这些都放入了模拟器中，”格罗赞在一段关于他在迈阿密家中工作的视频中说道，“要制作一个真正真实的模拟游戏是非常困难的。”

“我们一遍又一遍地跑圈，这就是我们最初熟悉赛道的方式。”

多伦多大奖赛是印地赛路赛中最古老的赛事之一，首场比赛于 1986. 年举行。

车手罗曼·格罗赞（Roman Grosjean）参加 2024 年安大略省本田经销商印地赛的排位赛。今年的赛事将从多伦多移至万锦市街道。CHRISTOPHER KATSARUS / THE CANADIAN PRESS

展览广场（Exhibition Place）作为多伦多的博览会场地，自举办赛车比赛以来一直处于领先地位。

印地赛与万锦市于 9 月 1 日宣布，将比赛移至多伦多东北部的郊区，赛道全长 2.5 公里，运行在肯尼迪路（Kennedy's Road）、企业路（Enterprise）、尚克威尔（Shankwell）、联合村（Unionville）内部以及高速公路之间。

由于临时赛道直到本周才正式铺设，因此熟悉其水平和细节——尤其是赛车文化的变动——对于格罗赞和所有其他车手在安全性和性能方面都至关重要。

“我希望所有的颠簸都能被正确地模拟出来，因为这是来到路赛面临的最大挑战，”格罗赞说道，并补充说展览广场的赛道非常艰苦。“健身门（Fitness' Gate）弯道极其湿滑，然后我们还有人孔盖以及维修区前的一段区域。”

“那里颠簸且疯狂，但这就是街道赛的魅力，你知道的！你永远无法预料，必须时刻适应。”

本田赛车公司美国分公司负责车辆性能的负责人，旨在帮助格罗赞和其他本田车队的车手尽可能减少适应时间。

本田的模拟器拥有一个物理印地赛车座舱，具有 give degree 预旋转和 2-3 度的视觉视野，内部结合了真实性能，数据来自谷歌地图（Google Maps）以及第三方公司完成的道路激光扫描。

“即使测量了这条赛道，即使进行了扫描，在活动开始前你仍然无法知道今年的实际情况，”萨姆·塔诺（Sam tano）说道。“你拥有的是一个模型，而不是完全精确的研究。”

这在某种程度上是世界性的。关键在于谁能将误差降到最低。

雪佛兰（Chevrolet）为其车队配备了自己的模拟器。

为戴尔·克鲁赛车队（Dale Crewe Racing）出战的格罗赞表示，在模拟器中练习后，他将亲自实地考察赛道。

“我们将在周四来到万锦市，实地走一遍赛道，”格罗赞说。“通过步行走赛道，你可以看到人孔盖，看到坡度，看到颠簸，看到弯道，以及墙壁的角度。”

“然后你坐进车里，在赛道上逐渐地 1, 2, 3 次熟悉。”

练习赛在周五，排位赛在周六，正赛在周日下午。

印地赛和公园奥希尔德（Park O'Heald）利用了十次强有力的出赛，从起跑线左转，并在多伦多赛道上取得了职业生涯的首次胜利。

亚历克斯·法尔索（Alex Falso）将是本周末值得关注的车手。周日，他在波特兰以领先于费利克斯·罗索梅恩（Felix Rosomayne）的成绩完赛，夺得本赛季第六场 IndyCar 冠军。这使得他在车手排名中对凯尔·博尔克伍德（Kyle Bolkwood）的领先优势扩大到 10 分，他正朝着第五个 IndyCar 冠军头衔迈进。

斯皮思在PGA巡回赛季后赛揭幕战中并列领先

孟菲斯，73580

乔丹·斯皮思（Jordan Spieth）认为自己的高尔夫球打得更好，并且终于在周四迎来了一个赛季的突破。他以five-under-96的成绩感到满意，这使他在联邦快递36 Indy锦标赛（FedEx 36 Indy-Championship）中与另外三人并列领先，并增强了他掌控本赛季的希望。

罗伯特·克兰斯（Robert Clance）冠军迈克尔·西奥布罗默斯（Michael Theobromers）、杰克·克纳普（Jake Knapp）、迈克尔·金（Michael Kim）和库尔特·基尼亚马（Kurt Kinyama）在TPC Southwind球场同样以领先成绩开局。斯皮思和金目前在联邦快递杯（FedEx Cup）的前列之外，而下周将进行1994锦标赛。

这是斯皮思连续第二年进入季后赛，他目前排名第34位，且四年多未获冠军。一年前他排名第48位，随后跌出了前列。

他说，不同之处在于他感觉自己的发挥状态，尽管他是唯一一名入围且在本年度得分超过标准杆的球员。

“在进入这次赛事之前，我在高尔夫球运动中所处的位置与过去几个赛季截然不同，”斯皮思说。“再次强调，如果能成功，那太棒了。如果不能，我知道明年对我来说将是极好的一年。所以这减轻了本周的大部分压力。”

金排名第10，可能需要至少获得第10名才有机会晋级。

但这仅仅是一轮比赛，而且情况比很多球员要好，包括联邦快递杯卫冕冠军汤米·弗尔伍德（Tommy Fordwood）、石川松山（Hishko Matsuyama）、加里·伍德兰（Gary Woodland）和亚当·斯科特（Adam Scott）——他们排名第9，其他人则在努力反击。

本月的目标并非仅仅进入前列，因为这关系到下赛季所有1994或百万签名赛事（million signature events）的入场券。斯皮思一直处于前列之外，且两者都清楚本周的利害关系。

然而，超过一半的参赛者已经确定将前往圣路易斯的Bellarmy参加1999-2000赛季。而对于伍德兰和斯科特——两人均处于前列边缘——一个出色的周表现可能会让他们晋级巡回赛锦标赛（Tour Championship），并有机会争夺联邦快递杯。

如果一切顺利，回报将是进入所有mopies。

“本周大部分时间里我唯一的感觉就是，对我来说一切都是向上的，”斯科特说。“现在一个出色的周表现能带来很多收益，不仅是为了本赛季的剩余部分。本周有可能在巡回赛锦标赛中提升名次，而且还关系到明年、签名赛事以及所有相关事项。”

“这让我能够按照自己的方式开启一年，这将是自由的。”

斯科特的Schofler是世界排名第1的球员，他在TPC Southwind球场的参赛次数（7次）比PGA巡回赛中任何其他球场都多，但从未获胜。他以6th开局，与大师赛冠军科里·麦克罗伊（Kory McIlroy）同组比赛，后者去年在参赛时知道他的模型对他季后赛其余时间的排名没有影响。麦克罗伊以两个bogey和两个double bogey，最终成绩为7s。

注意力回到了斯皮思身上，他在年满之前就赢得了大满贯赛的三站比赛。但在2024年底他经历了广泛手术，一直难以恢复。

他以8个par开局，8次推杆成功，随后在连续五个洞中打出四个birdies，包括在par-three split洞的一次go-broster。成绩单上没有出现ho-keys是一个加分项。

“我只是尝试在这一周尽可能地在两个secuties上减轻痛苦，简化处理，尝试在接下来的高尔夫球场上获胜，而不再担心其他任何事情，”斯皮思说。“只是知道自己比很长一段时间以来打得更好，并继续相信这一点。如果低分出现了，那就出现了。如果没有，也不会改变我知道自己比很长一段时间以来打得更好的事实。”

杰克逊·科伊兰（Jackson Koiran）在作为业余球员的第三次参赛中赢得了英国公开赛，并以第19,名的成绩勉强获得了季后赛的最后一个席位，他打了一场单赛，成绩为7s。

布法罗比尔队四分卫乔什·艾伦表示，参加季前赛将有助于他适应球队的新体育场。ADRIAN GRASS / 美联社

艾伦及比尔队首发球员将在季前赛揭幕战出场

约翰·沃罗 (JOHN WARROW)（纽约，理查德·帕克）

对于比尔队（Bills）来说，新的教练组以及另一个适应布法罗新体育场的机会即将开始，球队决定让乔什·艾伦（Josh Allen）及其余健康的首发球员参加周六对阵卡罗来纳队的季前赛揭幕战。

“显然我们的一切都是新的，”布雷迪（Brady）周四表示。“所以这是我们第一次聚集在一起，展示布法罗比尔队风貌的机会。因此我认为这很重要。”

布雷迪是一名首年主教练，布法罗的前进攻协调员在艾萨克·麦克唐纳（Isaac McDonald）在贾马特（Jamaart）拍摄后被任命接任。这场比赛将为布雷迪提供一个适应新角色，并与在这个休赛期经历了多次变动的工作人员共同协作的机会。

这次出场也让比尔队有机会在比赛环境下进一步适应他们新的 1994 方案主场。这场比赛发生在比尔队在海兰兹体育场（Highlands Stadium）进行首次训练的一周之后，该体育场建在他们前主场的对面。

对于艾伦来说，这次季前赛亮相将是他两年来第一次。这位第九年的球员在去年的三场布法罗季前赛中均未出场，自 Aug. 31, 2024 在对阵芝加哥的比尔队季前赛揭幕战中出战第一节以来，他已有 11 次亮相。

“新环境，新常规，”艾伦表示，他已倾向于参加季前赛。

“我们希望确保这次尽可能像真正的比赛，因为这就是一场真正的比赛，”他在展望 9 月 17 日布法罗对阵底特律的常规赛揭幕战时补充道。“在周四晚上我们拥有新的第一场比赛中拥有那些，只需理解一切背后的流程，现在不再对任何事情感到惊讶。”

艾伦肩上的压力包括适应球场——比尔队已将人造草坪更换为天然草坪。此外还包括熟悉比赛检查点的位置，以及适应灯光，现在的灯光安装在屋顶顶篷下方，而不是像旧球场那样安装在塔顶上。

布雷迪表示，关于谁出场以及出场时间的最终决定将在训练后做出。

年度协调员吉姆·莱昂哈德（Jim Leonhard）此前已宣布其首发球员将在周六出场。布法罗的防守端在这次休赛期经历了最大的变动，莱昂哈德引入了一套 1-3 系统，该单位预计将至少有 5 名新首发。

几名受伤的首发球员将无法出场，包括中锋康纳·麦加夫伦（Connor McGavren）、安全卫 C.J. 加德纳-布朗（C.J. Gardner & Brown）和科尔·比肖普（Cole Bishop），以及麦克斯韦·哈里森（Maxwell Harrison）。这四名球员已缺席至少几天的训练，不过布雷迪尚未透露他们的伤情或康复时间表。

在下周前往克利夫兰进行联合训练以及 Aug. 29, 的季前赛之后，比尔队还计划在 Aug. 27 主场迎战匹兹堡队。

长期担任火焰队播报员的彼得·马赫（PETER MAHER）去世，享年 79

担任卡尔加里火焰队（Calgary Flames）之声 25 年的彼得·马赫去世，享年 79. 火焰队在周四发布的一份沉重的公告中确认了其去世，并赞扬其广播播报中具有“无可替代的声音”。

马赫原籍纽约州坎贝尔博（Camp Belleau），加入 CROFT 电台担任火焰队的现场播报员，并且是第一批随 NHL 球队从亚特兰大搬迁至卡尔加里的成员。他在该岗位上工作了数十年，直到 2023-24 赛季后退休，并以其口头禅“York, Indy!”和“You know it it in the world”而闻名。

马赫播报了火焰队在 1985 年夺得新年杯（New Yearley Cup）冠军，以及在 1989 年和 2024 年进入杯赛决赛的情况。

他在 2003 年入选冰球名人堂，此前他因作为 NHL 的工作获得了 5 年前的纪念奖（Memorial Award）。

加拿大男女队在旗式橄榄球世锦赛首日表现完美

四分卫萨姆·帕克（Sam Parker）在周四加拿大女队以两场胜利开启世界旗式橄榄球锦标赛时，展现了精准的传球。

在以 27 1 / 2 战胜巴拿马的比赛中，帕克完成了 30 次传球中的 25 次，并完成了三个四个达阵，其中三次传球给卡罗琳·瓦格纳（Caroline Wagner）（其他）。

随后，帕克完成了 30 次传球中的 24 次，并增加了四个达阵，加拿大女队在国家运动会和 2023 年十五名女性赛（National Games and Fifteen Women 2023）的开赛中取得了两次麻烦的得分。

加拿大男队以 10-6 战胜奥地利开局。迈克尔·奥康纳（Michael O'Connor）在 34 次传球中完成了 30 次，获得四个达阵。在被判定战胜因签证问题退赛的尼日利亚后，男队的战绩提升至 4-6。

两支加拿大队伍将于周五继续进行对阵日本的预赛轮比赛。

每项赛事的排名前两名将获得 2023 年洛杉矶奥运会的资格，而已经获得资格的美国队若进入决赛，前三名球队将成为奥运决赛选手。

Fever全明星球员回归

白色午后

MICHAEL MAROT TUSKAMPOLIS

印第安纳狂热队（Indiana Fever）的全明星球员 Allyde Boston 和 Kelsey Mitchell 在周四对教练 Stephanie White 表示支持，称在 White 周二主场比赛的介绍环节中，她们同样被狂热队所激励。

这些评论出现在 发表一段 40 分 45 秒的声明两天之后。在那段声明中， 为自己辩护，此前有人指责她对后卫 leaflet Cunningham 的支持不足。Cunningham 在上周末芝加哥的比赛中，其成功以及头部以上的碰撞导致裁判将一次违例从 1 级恶意犯规升级为 2 级恶意犯规，导致守卫 Ithinai Carringham 被驱逐出场。

“我认为她在我们这里做得非常好，”Boston 在训练前表示。“我们热爱她，感激她，所以听到 [Irena] 的话，坦白说，真的很令人恼火，而且是不尊重。但对我们来说，最重要的事情是主线任务，我们说过我们要在这里赢下比赛。”

她们确实赢了——而且是以压倒性的方式，击败了 的 Cap 冠军纽约自由队（New York Liberty）。

赛后， 和三名全明星球员 Caitlin Clark 都赞扬了她们的教练。 告诉记者，她在重大比赛后必须对 的评论做出回应，她认为 做出了正确的决定，但她认为对方并非有意试图击中 的颈部以上区域。

在被驱逐后还在社交媒体上写道：“ FRUTIGUE”并标记了狂热队的账号。她随后解释说，她从未声称这次犯规是白人特权（ privilege）的结果。

在周二的比赛前， 表示她会对周六赛后可用时间之前发生的事情进行选择。当她后来观看时，她称这次糟糕的经历为“apogeeae”。

但她并不认为自己仅仅是处于另一场争议的中心，印第安纳锦标赛的 Governer Meule Redworth 甚至利用其社交媒体账号呼吁 离职。

Clark、、Boston 和 Mitchell 则不这么认为。

“我当面告诉她，我说，‘教练，你知道这是为了你；就信心而言，就意识到这不是我们的比赛而言，’”Mitchell 在提到周二赛前对话时说道。

“看到她在自我意识方面受到情绪的影响，而且在她必须执教的地方不被需要，这真的伤害了我的感情。归根结底，这是她的工作，她必须展现我的性别，我认为人们没有真正意识到这一点，但提醒她是我们的职责。”

这些言论对某些人来说是个惊喜，因为她们在她的篮球-移动家乡州。

她的足球酒吧高中始于 bogey。在印第安纳（Indy）和西拉法叶（West Lafayette）的普渡大学（Purdie）校园之间的当地地区，作为该州路径篮球的职业得分领先者，该酒吧是首批获得全国冠军的终结者之一，也是最初的五年冠军之一，并且在第一支 7 年 儿童队中担任助理教练。

这位联盟的年度最佳教练上赛季作为当地教练回到印第安纳，并带着一些获胜的记录，带领第二支印第安纳队进入 总决赛。

Clark 不喜欢发生的事情，但她能够理解，因为她也曾成为攻击的目标。

“坦白说，我发现我们的球迷很热爱，你可以对此产生分歧，我明白，”Clark 周二表示。“这是职业体育，人们会热爱它，我也一样，到头来，这是好的原因。我们将如何为她而战，我们永远会支持她，这永远不会撕裂我们的更衣室。”

Allen 接着表示，他希望在秋季晚些时候重返赛场。

“我正在思考我的生活，当我被击倒时，我会重新站起来，而这正是我现在要做的事情。”

他没有详细说明其伤势或导致袭击的原因，但承认了警方在调查过程中所做的工作。

球队此前声称

曾遭到服务人员的攻击，并将其伤势描述为严重，但未作详细说明。

在 发布声明的同一天，警方宣布在调查后逮捕了三名安保人员。

是赢得该联赛年度最佳球员奖的热门人选，他一直无法随队参加比赛，而球队在季后赛中表现出色。

该球队距离赢得其首个加拿大城市篮球联赛冠军仅一步之遥。

预计 将不会出现在周六的阵容中，届时 Sea Bears 将在温尼伯与 Brandeis history Badgers 进行首个赛季的单场冠军赛。第一场比赛在本周早些时候因球场状况而被取消。

讣告

朱镕基

政治家，经济学家，97岁

农民总理将中国推向市场经济

在毛泽东的反右运动期间被开除出共产党后，他经历了20年的默默无闻，直到被政治平反，并最终被委以重任，负责监督国家的经济现代化

KEITH BRADNER

曾在引导国家向市场经济转型并随后加入世界贸易组织过程中发挥关键作用的前中国总理朱镕基，周三在北京去世，享年

新华社宣布了他的逝世。这家中国官方通讯社未提及死因，仅指出他在医疗救治无效后去世。

在当时的共产党领导人洪齐珍手下工作的朱镕基，在推动中国经济自由化并提高其国际竞争力方面，比近期任何一位领导人（除董南平外）贡献更大。朱镕基发起的举措推动了中国的快速增长，这种增长在途中虽有轻微放缓，但一直持续到2016年房地产市场开始崩盘。

但他的措施也为中国近期面临的过度债务问题及其巨大的贸易顺差埋下了伏笔，而这些问题导致了在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普任职期间与美国的贸易战。

作为一名年轻的共产党之星，朱镕基在毛泽东领导的一次意识形态纯洁化运动中被开除出党。他经历了20年的默默无闻，其中包括五年的农场劳工经历。

在1975, 毛泽东去世后获得政治平反，他一路攀升至政府高层。是邓先生（从20世纪70年代末直到1997, 去世期间的中国政府领导人）在1999年从中发掘出朱镕基，并将他带到北京以推进国家的经济现代化。

中国的经济通过快速增长，官员们大幅减少了中央计划，并遏制了毛泽东最后几年的混乱。在2016年天安门抗议活动遭到致命军事镇压后，他的市场改革陷入停滞。

朱镕基在1997. 担任副总理起，深化了国家对市场力量的接纳。七年后被提升为总理，他主导了数千家国有企业的私有化，随后在2016年带领中国加入世界贸易组织。

由朱镕基及其助手最终达成的协议在许多中国人中并不受欢迎，尤其是在那些尚未为国际竞争做好准备的内陆省份。朱镕基因同意将汽车及许多其他商品的600项进口从10%以上降低至不超过10%而受到广泛批评。但加入WTO意味着中国商品也能获得进入西方市场的保证，且关税显著降低，出口随之激增。根据联合国工业发展组织的资料，到2000年，中国已超过美国成为全球最大的制造业国家。

与此同时，进口的增长速度未达预期。朱镕基在中国加入该贸易组织后不久退休，而中国对市场力量的接纳开始转向测试新技术，包括购买外国商品。这其中包括对中国制造商的大量补贴，以及要求政府机构和国有企业购买中国制造商品的众多要求。

在朱荣基领导期间，中国在加入世贸组织（WTO）时承诺将迅速向国际竞争开放政府采购。但中国至今仍未这样做。北京的领导层面临着内陆省份的反对，这些省份反对让西方公司参与其规模庞大的公共工程项目。中央政府官员提交了几项提案，但其他国家通常认为这些提案不足。

朱先生于1948年10月23日出生于中国南部湖南省省会长沙。他幼年丧亲，由父亲的两位兄长朱兆平（Zhu Zhaoping）和朱南芳（Zhu Nanfang）抚养长大。他随后在学校就读，并于1997年通过了杨花大学（Yanghua University）严格的入学课程，在那里学习电气工程。他于1999年加入共产党，那一年它赢得了中国的内战。

与20世纪90年代的许多经济改革者一样，朱先生在攀登中国政府顶峰之前，经历了一次显著的政治回归。当毛泽东在2001、2003、2005和2007年开始其反右运动时，他正在国家计委工作，从事机械生产。他看到了危险的反对。这场运动在接下来的两年里导致了10万名官员、教师和其他公民受到政治迫害。

在毛泽东运动的早期，朱先生也在其中。朱先生曾在计委发表过一次三分钟的讲话，该讲话遵循了当时北京的主流路线。但在1997年10月运动升级后，该讲话被认为在政治上不可接受。

“在10月之前，大家都认为我的观点很好——10月之后，他们说你的观点应该被推荐。”朱先生在2007年的一次演讲中说道。

根据一家国有公司在2007年出版的朱先生传记，由于他拥有不可接受的家庭背景，他也被认为是一个“革命机会主义者”。书中继续写道，他的祖父朱兆平在1998年清朝灭亡前曾是一名帝国官员，负责赞助中国的铁路建设。

朱先生于1999年4月被开除出共产党，并在计委表现出覆盖。但他被允许留在那里，为同事教授数学、物理和化学。

他早年的困难为十年后毛泽东文化大革命期间的进一步麻烦埋下了伏笔，当时他被送到农场劳动五年。“我什么都做过：规划小麦、水稻和棉花，足球牛和药物，养猪，还当过厨师，”他在1988年的演讲中回忆道。

当革命在1995年随着毛泽东的病逝而平息时，朱先生花了两年时间培训电力传输工人。随着中国政治开始转变，他以电力副局长的身份恢复了政府职级。他在20年前也被视为一颗冉冉升起的新星。

关于朱先生共产党成员身份的传闻在1975年后期广泛流传，完整记录可追溯至1980年。他于1999年入党。他被任命为中国社会科学院工业经济研究主任。根据2007年的传记，朱先生目睹了科学院官员焚烧他的开除党籍信以及那些被写成证据将其谴责为右派的文件。

朱先生迅速成为中国在工业和农村问题上的领先经济思想家之一。在五年之内，他成为了国家经济委员会的副部长。

随着事业的飞升，他启动了一项将产生深远影响的项目。他在其母校央华创办了经济管理学院。他开始培养一大批经济学家和金融专家，这些人能够在接下来的数十年里填补许多高层职位。然而，中国现任最高领导人习近平通过创建共产党委员会，将相当一部分决策权从政府机构中剥离，从而限制了这些技术官僚的影响力，而这些机构曾由朱先生推动发展。

在北京的经济政策部门逐步晋升后，朱先生于1998年出任上海市市长。不久之后，他得到了董先生的赏识。

从2008年后期开始，在年长的董先生开始在每个中国新年的最初几天在，1999年，他在上海市中心。在那里，董先生就朱先生关于重新开发上海市中心对岸上海河边的浦东地区的计划进行了长时间的讨论。

该地区当时被陈旧的国有仓库和农场所占据。朱先生设想将其打造成为如今拥有摩天大楼的现代化金融中心。董先生不仅支持这些计划，而且在1999年初第二次访问上海后，将朱先生带回北京担任副总理，专门负责贸易和工业生产。

一年后，董先生将朱先生提升至政治局常委。他放弃了中国共产党内2006年的权力。在那之后的几年里，朱先生担任总理，这一职位他一直持有直到2012年。

在朱先生担任总理期间，他的儿子朱旭然（Le-ran Zhu Xushu）是中国国际资本公司（CC，即文中提到的CC）在2008年最显眼的投资，该公司与华尔街银行合作，将中国国有企业的股票在西方证券交易所上市。

除了儿子，朱先生的家人还包括结婚七十年的妻子安西安（Xia'an An）以及一个女儿。他同样长寿，媒体在2009年报道称，朱先生至少还有一个孙女，是朱延海的女儿。

我记得

汤米·亨特 (TOMMY HUNTER)

在多伦多及其周边地区，1975 was a heady tour in municipal politics。

那是琼·雅各布斯 (June Jacobs)、约翰·塞威尔 (John Sewell) 以及老库姆斯 (old Coombs) 的时代，我也参与了城市开发。

邻近的密西沙加市同样非常关注市政问题，当时那里是一个拥有100,000人口、正由镇扩建为市的城镇。

通常社区是从中心向外生长，但密西沙加在 1975, 和 1980, 之后，是在保留几个社区的同时，由外向内发展的。那里有大量的开放空间。事实上，市政厅对面曾开发过夏威夷名古屋农场 (Hawaii Nagoya farm)，其中很多。

许多密西沙加市民不喜欢现任议会向开发商妥协，也不喜欢拟议开发的进度和质量水平。

于是，一群住在密西沙加南部、拥有家庭的年轻人组成了一个委员会小组，他们关注社区建设，并决定争取一名新的议员和市长，以推广他们关于财产和受控开发的观点。我的妻子帕特 (Pat) 和我就是该小组的一员。

在一次讨论选举想法的会议上，我提出了一个想法：密西沙加应该像纽约和旧金山那样，拥有自己的歌曲。

恰巧汤米·亨特 (Tommy Hunter) 就住在我们地区，于是我自荐去邀请他为密西沙加创作一首歌。我不认识他，但几天后，我发现自己坐在他的客厅里提出这个请求。

汤米·亨特

在一次愉快的讨论和几个问题之后，他同意免费创作。我担心我不知道，但后来这首名为《密西沙加》的歌曲诞生了。

我设想这首歌会通过电台传播，为这座城市、这座城市、这座城市以及候选人和我们的观点带来知名度。

收到作品时，我非常兴奋。其他人则礼貌地表示他们很喜欢。但最终，它并没有像我希望的那样成为我们竞选活动的主打。不过，选举结果如我们所愿，我们选出了我们想要的政府。

选举一段时间后，我和妻子接到了一个长途电话，邀请我们参加《密西沙加》的正式录音，我们可以与劳里·鲍尔歌手组合 (Laurie Bower Singers) 一起担任背景合唱，他们“录制了这首歌”，乐队成员则是市里的知名人士。结果是一张 10 rpm 唱片，封面照片是我们所有歌手的合影。

这次录音几乎没有引起关注，除了一个冷漠的开发商，他想买下它，也许是为了推广他的房地产。他没买到。

虽然这首歌没有像《芝加哥》或《纽约，纽约》那样出名，但我们确实有一首由汤米·亨特创作的名为《密西沙加》的音乐作品，任何人都可以在 YouTube 上听到。

至于亨特先生，他不能更友好了，经济地，而且很多人，愉快、温暖、擅长小提琴且合作愉快。

汤米·亨特是一个家喻户晓的名字，我们为这次最私人化的事件感到高兴，并且我们相信这座城市。谢谢你，汤米。

克里斯·斯奈德 (Chris Snyder)，密西沙加

房价下跌，微型公寓再次畅销

SHANE DINGMAN 房地产记者

Re-Man Professionals' Salonica Inwood Realty Inc. 的房地产经纪人 Michael Soudelov 在社交媒体上发布了一段视频，描述了一套在 7 月 1 日仅以 $200,000 成交的新建公寓，引起了广泛关注。“这在某种程度上引起了小规模轰动……我收到了很多在寻找该价位房源的随机人士的咨询，”他说道。这套 300 平方英尺的单身公寓位于 100 acres N.，处于开发商 Center Court 最近竣工的 Prime Condo 大楼内。它如此便宜是有原因的：据称该房产处于“权力出售”（power of sale）状态，这是一种贷款机构通过出售业主财产以回收未偿债务的法律程序。

“我最近查看了次低价的单元，价格高出 $100,000，同样也是单身公寓，所以这个单元绝对是个特例，”Soudelov 先生说。“尽管如此，当有人在市中心看到一个以‘2’开头的价格时？而且是在一栋可以居住的新大楼里？自 2010 或 2015 年以来，我们还没见过这种情况。”

房地产分析师的数据显示，这类交易仍然罕见。但如果市场存在底部，那么最有可能在最小的公寓中找到，随着价格下跌，这类公寓已开始销售。

“在过去四年中，小型单元的价格下跌了 30% 以上，买家能够以极低的价格入场，”Urbanation 总裁 Shaun Hildebrand 表示。他指出，2015 年第二季度，多伦多地区价格在 $200,000 以下的公寓仅有 30 套成交；而相比之下，有 300 套公寓在 $200,000 以下成交，以及 1,000 套在 $200,000 到 $300,000 之间成交。在最实惠类别（所有价格在 $200,000 以下的销售）中的销售份额自 2015 年第二季度以来增长了 20%，约占总市场的三分之一。

销售额较去年有所增长，但仍低于五年前的繁荣时期，当时公寓价格仍在根据多伦多区域房地产委员会的数据，2015 年 7 月，104 宗公寓交易的销售额为 $1.7-billion。在 2015, 7 月，仅有 1,014 套销售（低 40%），金额为 $200-million（低 40%）。2015. 年，多伦多东部有三个区域的公寓平均售价在 $200,000. 以下。在 2015, 年，则没有。究竟是谁在购买这些较小的公寓，目前仍有争议。

“没有一个首次购房者会找我们买这种‘狗笼’公寓，”Butler Mortgage 的首席经纪人 Ron Butler 说道。他在行业内极具影响力，将这类极小公寓描述为“手提箱”房，认为这类公寓的设计初衷是卖给投资者，基于每平方英尺的租金而非居住舒适度评分。由于即使是微型公寓也有最小尺寸限制，Hildebrand 先生指出，单身公寓和一居室一直存在一种反直觉的价格溢价。目前，最小单元的价格比其余二手公寓市场高出约 20%，平均每平方英尺价格为 $500，而市场其余部分为 $7.75。但这一溢价远低于 2015 年的市场巅峰期，当时其价格比市场其余部分（每平方英尺 1,000）高出 20%（每平方英尺 $5,000）。

目前，最畅销的公寓是 100 平方英尺以上的大型单元，且根据 Urbanation 的数据，平均销售率已连续第六年增长。© CONDOS, 2015

一场逐渐失控的翻新工程

多伦多东端的一栋红砖联排别墅迎来了亟需的升级

MATTHEW KAGUS

关于厨房是家庭之心的古老说法，并没有考虑到那些更喜欢外卖和餐厅的人。多年来，对于 ISMERS 律师事务所的律师 Graham McLeod 及其伴侣 Tim O'Fallon 来说，情况正是如此。

他们住在一座 20 世纪 70 年代由乳制品工厂改建而成的联排别墅中。他们在多伦多东端的这座红砖三层住宅，曾经在狭窄的一层（宽约 15 英尺）的一侧挤着一个小厨房。那里有一个尴尬的岛台，且储物空间很少。这对伴侣并不在意。

“我们以前出去吃饭的次数比现在多得多，”McLeod 先生说。“我们不怎么用厨房。我们只有一个更亮眼的冰箱，几乎没有操作台空间。即使在招待客人时，我们也不会准备大餐。”

当 McLeod 先生在 2014 年（在遇到 O'Fallon 先生之前）买下这栋房子时，有一个更紧迫的问题：用餐区下沉了约一英尺。

“我在 70 年代和 80 年代经历过那个时期，”他说。“所以对我来说，下沉空间有一种特定的怀旧感。但一位建筑师朋友指出，这种落差让布局显得有些破碎，并降低了下方地下室的净高。我很庆幸自己做了那个改变。”

在随后的几年里，O'Fallon 先生搬了进来，生活继续向前，比起那个被冷落的厨房，还有更重要的优先事项。2011 年，这对伴侣翻修了他们的花园。

大约十年后，他们将注意力转向了这座 1,200 平方英尺住宅的上面两层。在整个过程中，他们与 Plant 合作，这是一家专门从事建筑和景观设计的多伦多公司。

McLeod 先生最早在 2007 年听说 Plant，当时该公司赢得了一项国际竞赛，负责重新设计多伦多市政厅外的公共空间——内森·菲利普斯广场（Nathan Phillips Square）。

“我很感兴趣，因为 Plant 同时做建筑和景观，”他说。“我不仅仅想要一个新花园。这个空间还需要储物空间。我想更换一个看起来很凄惨的棚屋。”

对于 McLeod 先生和 O'Fallon 先生来说，Plant 的 Lisa Rapoport 将一小块土地变成了多功能绿地。一座简洁的黑色亭阁隐藏了园艺工具和烧烤炉，而回收木材制成的长凳则环绕在树荫遮蔽的露台上。

“在那之后我们一直保持合作，”Rapoport 先生说。“这些年，我们种了很多树。”

随后，FLANT 将工作转移到了室内。“顶层是对男性私密卧室和展示室的现代诠释，”Rapoport 先生说。“墙壁铺满了胡桃木，但线条现代且简洁。”

设计如此流畅，几乎无法看出 Murphy 床隐藏在展示室的木作之中。它隐藏在书架后面，可以将房间转换为客房。

中间层作为图书馆、休息室和画廊。这对伴侣拥有广泛的艺术收藏，在木镶板之间展示着绘画、照片和插图。

“同样，这非常像一个升级版的 19 世纪男性空间，”Rapoport 先生说。“这里有三扇美丽的拱窗，但大部分墙壁是白色的。”

厨房最终成为了优先事项，部分原因是 McLeod 先生的猫将这对伴侣带到了海外，先是中东，后来是英国。“当我们不在家时，Tim 开始喜欢烹饪，”McLeod 先生说。“当我们回到多伦多时，我们想一起做饭。但我们的厨房没有足够的空间容纳两名厨师。”

最近完工的新厨房保持了房屋其余部分的风格。“我们将木材的温暖感延伸到了主层，”领导厨房项目的 KCAV 高级合伙人 Clive Bunter 说。“前门是胡桃木，窗户是 inadequate。许多厨房橱柜是樱桃木。”

另一个将空间统一起来的设计元素是一个白色且可工作的床。其中一个 low 位于食品储藏柜之间。沿着楼梯向上的 frantical 也是白色钢材。

格雷厄姆·麦克劳德（Graham McLeod）和蒂姆·奥法隆（Tim O'Fallon）位于多伦多的住宅原是一家乳制品工厂，在 20 世纪 70 年代被改造成联排别墅。它曾有一个小厨房和一个下沉式用餐区，这些在由 Plant 设计的翻新工程中得到了改变。摄影：STEVEN GAMES PHOTOGRAPHY

拉波波特（Rapoport）先生说：“所有的木材可能会让人感觉相当沉重。纤细的钢材有助于减轻这种感觉。”

不过，新厨房的存在感强得多。曾经它被局限在侧边，现在则延伸至近一半的地面。一个大理石岛台邀请客人们坐下来，而麦克劳德先生和奥法隆先生则在切丁、切块和煎炸——或者客人们亲自参与其中。

虽然看不到冰箱，但一台全尺寸冰箱被隐藏在折扣面板后面，洗碗机也是如此。只要有可能，就增加了储物空间。底层拥有 foot ceilings，新的橱柜一直延伸到顶部。

“格雷厄姆很高，”奥法隆先生说，“而我得用梯子。”

为了降低房间的新动态感，拉波波特先生和巴斯特（Buster）先生在橱柜和后备实验室（back-uplab）中引入了各种元素，因为后备实验室是大理石材质，石头被小心地延伸到背面，使其能够流入主空间。

对于房主来说，这个空间值得等待。“我们一直都在使用，”奥法隆先生说。

“现在我们烹饪所有东西。”对于拉波波特先生来说，这种长期的代际过程既不寻常也不令人反感。

“我们经常有客户在很长一段时间内翻新他们的家，有时是数年或更久，”她说，“人们的情况随时间而改变。房屋可以不断演变以满足他们的需求。”

随着预售公寓市场放缓，部分企业退出行业

在繁荣时期成立的公司不得不调整其商业模式

HOWARD CHAI 温哥华

“长期以来，在房屋预售方面，不列颠哥伦比亚省曾是全球之都之一，买家来自世界各地，其他市场也试图复制这种繁荣。但正如《绿野仙踪》中的多萝西所说，我们不再在堪萨斯了。”

根据房地产服务公司 MLA Canada 的数据，2025, 7月有 1,491 套预售房屋投放市场，但 2025. 7月仅有 974 套。而今年7月的数量？每两。

经济影响不仅限于开发商和购房者——后者因退出购买而面临的诉讼正日益增加。由于预售曾是市场的重要组成部分，围绕其形成了一批支持性企业投资，最显著的是那些规划销售策略、监督销售中心并代表开发商处理销售的开发服务公司。

随着预售现在仅占市场的微小部分，这些公司被迫做出调整。

“我在市场中观察到的是，那些能够适应和演进的公司，其变化不仅在于本地人数的转移，还在于服务的转移，”MLA Canada 总裁兼合伙人 Ryan Lalonde 表示。

Lalonde 先生于 2005 创立了 BLYD Marketing，随后在 2016 年将其与 MAC Marketing Solutions 合并成立 MLA Canada。他将目前的人员规模描述为几个月前规模的“一小部分”，并表示在此期间，他们的服务范围发生了“剧烈”变化，增加了显著更多的咨询工作，包括意见回报、总体规划评估、人口统计分析、成本滚动和定价模型。

Lalonde 先生表示，在市场行情好时，他们的大部分业务是将人员投入到他人已经决定要建设的项目中。而现在的工作主要是为了促成那个决定。与开发商一样，他们的业务现在也更多地聚焦于租赁项目而非公寓项目。

“目前的运作模式是，我们被雇佣来告诉开发商，他们的项目在他们需要达到的价格水平上可能行不通，”Lalonde 先生说。“对于一家销售和营销公司来说，必须分享这样的观点是一件非常奇怪的事情。”

成立于 2005, 的 Magnum Projects 是另一家在人数（过去 18 个月下降了约 40%）和服务方面都进行了调整的公司。销售副总裁 Craig Anderson 表示，虽然此前专注于新公寓的推出，但他们的业务现在重点转向现有库存，他为开发商销售库存，通过共同介绍的销售进行销售，或为经销商提供审核。

Kennis 是温哥华最著名的此类公司，去年裁减了 20% 的员工（31 人），并以自己的方式进行了调整。

与其他公司相比，Kennis 更像是一家经纪公司，并在去年扩大了其商业地产团队。今年，他们与全球房地产经纪公司 The Agency 建立了合作伙伴关系，这将允许 Kennis 将其服务扩展到加拿大境外。

然而，并非所有公司都能适应得如此良好。

总部位于奥卡诺根的 Epic Real Estate Solutions 的公司网站已不再上线。Epic 由 Shane Styles 领导，其 LinkedIn 资料显示他已于两年前离职。

总部位于温哥华的 BakerWest Real Estate 的公司网站也已不再上线。BakerWest 由 Jacky Chan 领导，他上周告诉《全球邮报》，他已出售在合伙企业中的股份并在两年前离职。BakerWest 最大的项目在去年夏天也陷入了破产。

Epic 和 BakerWest 都是总部位于安大略省的 Peer-

房地产服务公司 MLA Canada 报告称，上个月仅有 42 套预售房屋投放市场，而 2025 年7月为 573 套，2025 年7月为 1,426 套。（COUNTRY / THE GLOBE AND MAIL）

age Realty，总部位于弗雷泽谷（Fraser Valley）的 Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing 也是其在不列颠哥伦比亚省（B.C.）的一家关联公司。Fifth Avenue 的公司网站仍在线。不过，其长期领导者 Jamie Squires 上周告诉《全球邮报》，她已于今年早些时候离职。

《全球邮报》已联系 Postage 寻求评论，但尚未收到回复。

对于那些仍然生存的公司来说，预售不再是核心竞争力，它们必须寻找增加价值的方法，现在一切都必须靠实力赢得。拉隆德（Mr. Lalonde）先生表示，这未必是一件坏事，且传递出一种“唯强者生存”的信息；而安德森（Mr. Anderson）先生则发现，与最终用户而非投资者合作让他受益匪浅。

“高层建筑项目的启动完全没有顾虑，”拉隆德先生说。“当我们从每年启动 10 个项目减少到如今仅为其中的一小部分时，启动的项目显著减少，房屋销售量显著下降，因此服务于这些工作所需的人员也将显著减少。这就是目前正在重塑我们行业的因素。”

“我在这个行业工作了很长时间。在巅峰时期，这项业务对我们的要求并不高。产品能卖掉，定价就是基于上一个方案的 1%，营销则靠顶层设计和等待名单。而现在，一切真的必须靠实力赢得。”

公寓：代理商称，即使价格合理的单位也难以找到买家

根据 Walls Realty Inc. 收集的销售数据，2025 年第二季度多伦多方形公寓销售量最大的是两居室单位，其中 2nd 销售的中位价为 $19,000,。这高于 2025, 年第二季度的 1,211 宗两居室销售，但价格比一年前的 $189,000 中位价下降了 162,000（或 9%）。

即使是中型公寓也在努力寻找合适的市场平衡点，Keller Williams, Kolonel Othan Realty 的作者 Ryan Cook 在准备推广 The Ravine Condos 的一个新挂牌单位时发现了这一点。该公寓楼位于 North York 的 31 Deerlick Court，是一栋 29F 的公寓楼，于 2024 年完工。

他正在挂牌一套一居室

Walls Realty Inc. 收集的数据发现，在多伦多地区，2026 年第二季度公寓销售量最大的是两居室单位。（OLD EARTH / NEW YORK AND MAIL）

加上居住空间超过 600 平方英尺的单位，价格为 $495,000.。在他准备上市的前几天，该楼内一套类似的公寓在初始挂牌价 $185,000. 且未售出 114 天后，以 $495,000, 成交。这种可比案例会带来挑战。

“大楼里大约还有五个其他挂牌单位，其中很多实际上比我们的价格更高。在这种时候，你几乎像是在黑暗中摸索，”Cook 先生说道。

即使是价格合理的单位也难以找到买家的挑战在于，市场上的许多人仍然不确定这是否已触底。

“每个人都在寻找优惠，我有正在接洽的买家，他们想要优惠。很多卖家仍然不愿妥协，他们认为现在还是 COVID 时代。”

Cook 先生的客户购买的是预售房，在出售时不太可能亏损。但考虑到根据预售和转售公寓价格数据库 Taft / Lendco.com 的数据，类似单位的预售价格在 $195,000 到 $495,000 之间，而以 $495,000 成交的卖家可能已经接近亏损。

Taft / Lendco 还拥有 192 Jarvis 的销售数据。2025 年，Centro Court 以 $495,000 或每平方英尺 15,000 的价格推广其 200 英尺的工作室。

上个月 $195,000 的价格在每平方英尺的单价上更令人接受，但该卖家几乎肯定面临重大损失。

Hildaband 先生认为，无论大小，多伦多公寓的价格可能正在接近低点。

“价格可能正在趋向底部，”他说道，并提到数据显示最小单位的可用投资开始被吸收。“这仍然表明市场是不平衡的，但正在向平衡方向移动。”

位于哈利法克斯的 Agency Art Letts 是由总部位于达特茅斯的开发商 / 建筑商 Sidewalk 将办公楼改造而成的。这个 175-cent 项目于今年春天完工。Centennial 大楼在租户于 COVID-19 期间消失后获得了新生，现在充满了新的和两居室阁楼式单位，层高在 13 到 18 英尺之间。©2023, Real Estate.com

将旧办公楼转换为新用途的巨大回报

如果操作得当，这将是住房与环境的双赢

约翰·洛林克 (JOHN LORINC)

几十年来，哈利法克斯的百年大厦 (Centennial Building) 以其垂直预制混凝土条饰面和现代主义风格，占据了面对 bade-life 街的一半市中心街区，位于从 haitiwar 到城市历史遗迹 (Cradle) 周边公园的陡峭山坡约三分之一处。

在 COVID-19 期间，由于大量人员居家办公，百年大厦的租户消失了，在 1920 年，这座每平方英尺 25 分的建筑被出售给了 Sidewalk，这是一家位于达特茅斯的开发商 / 建筑商，旨在将其转换为租赁公寓。第一阶段于去年开放，其余的 city-unit 项目（名为 Agency Art Letts）于今年春天完工。

该项目配备了 10 到 20-bed 天花板且拥有良好存储空间的单卧室和双卧室 left-style 单元。“我们非常喜欢这些旧工厂 left 改造的设计，”Sidewalk 副总裁兼合伙人乔·尼克森 (Joe Nickerson) 表示，“建筑的 house 效果很棒。”

然而，这次改造带来的不仅仅是新的市中心住房。它对现有建筑进行了“升级改造”，随后安装了最先进的 IRISC 系统，增加了新的绝缘层并更换了约 20% 的窗户。尼克森表示，这次改造使建筑的运营碳排放量减少了约 10%，并避免了 4,000 吨在建造新水泥地基时会释放的温室气体。

此外，这个赋予百年大厦第二次生命的项目获得了加拿大基础设施银行 (CIB) depot 计划的资金支持，融资和租赁由蒙特利尔银行提供。“最终，”尼克森先生说，“我们完全地为这座建筑呈现了一个新的世界生命。”

多年来，一些建筑师和气候非营利组织认为，拥有过时供暖系统、单层窗户和 body 控制的旧公寓楼可以通过翻新来改善，其节能效果可以抵消翻新成本，但计算结果并不匹配。而且这些深度改造项目通常需要在施工期间让居民搬离。

另外，在过去 19 年中，一些由卡尔加里市领导的市政府决定彻底修改市中心的分区规则，允许开发商将大部分空置的 B 类和 C 类办公

百年大厦以其垂直预制混凝土条和现代主义风格，被拯救并重新利用，而非被拆除。JULIAN PARRIBION

楼转换为公寓，以此作为提供新住房的手段，同时为这些空置结构寻找第二次（且能产生财产税的）生命。

现在，正如 Agency Letts 项目和越来越多类似的风险投资所表明的，办公楼转住宅的改造可能也正在带来深度改造倡导者最初设想的那种意想不到的气候红利。

“（改造）能否成为减少排放和实现气候目标更广泛战略的一部分？”达尔豪斯大学规划学院副教授、近期一篇探讨这两个目标如何结合的论文合著者杰弗里·比格尔 (Jeffrey Biggar) 问道，“我们想知道规划者 [和] 开发商是否在以这些维度进行思考。”

家庭确实如此。“不需要建造新建筑（意味着）大量的碳节省，”阿尔伯塔 Eurasian 基金会副总裁迈克·赫尔曼 (Mike Hellman) 观察到，该基金会帮助资助了卡尔加里的两次此类改造，由 Astra 集团完成。“除此之外，我们通过参与能够实现的是，在运营排放方面真正突破极限。”

“所有这些共同增强的愿景正是我们真正涉足该领域的原因，我们的客户对此也表现出了极大的认可，”BRD企业可持续金融解决方案负责人莉莉安·胡佛（Lillian Hoover）补充道。该部门已部署CBI的资金，为一系列办公楼转住宅项目组合承销贷款，目前该组合总计包含约100,000套公寓单元。“我们看到了非常强劲的需求。”

他说，投资回收期为两年。但就像几乎所有与地段相关的项目一样。“当我一年前发现[Centennial项目]时，你看这些正在安装的窗户

全国各地的规则

在办公楼转住宅方面，加拿大的各市政府并非步调一致。以下是部分现有政策的示例：温哥华： 允许在市中心的部分指定区域（包括 Vailsmines）进行转换，但根据一项 17 年前的政策，需经市议会评估任何付款的恶化是否符合公共利益。项目还需要特殊的夏季加固，这推高了成本。

卡尔加里： 得益于一项现金激励计划，该市在全国处于领先地位，已更新了 21 个转换项目，包含近 2,700 个单元。符合条件的开发商可获得每平方英尺 $60 到 $75 的现金激励。

多伦多： 市政府官员对转换持保留态度，并就其对当地经济和就业的潜在影响向市议会发出警告。规划人员已研究办公需求三年，市中心办公楼的入驻率一直在上升。

“它们是三层玻璃的。它们经久耐用。它们还能再用 12 年。”

在大多数公寓项目都处于维持状态的市场中，进行此类转换的项目方往往不止操作一个。Sidewalk 在达特茅斯有另一个转换项目，卡尔加里最近也完成了一个。“目前，”Astra 首席执行官 Naomi Oldsevsky 表示，“我们有两个完整的转换项目，第三个应该在 10 月前完成，还有一个将在明年完工。”Astra 通过止赎，以极低的价格收购了五栋建筑中的四栋。

卡尔加里市一直为转换提供每平方英尺 50 的中心激励。全世界的人们仍然将卡尔加里视为拥有最佳激励政策以实际促成项目建设的城市。

渥太华： 市议会在 2023 年一致投票通过了一项办公楼转住宅政策，旨在简化审批流程，并减少或取消损失和财产税。

蒙特利尔： 该市将办公楼转住宅项目豁免于一项新规定，该规定要求 50,000 平方米以上的项目中必须包含非市场化和家庭住房。

哈利法克斯： 根据加拿大城市研究所 2024 年 3 月对该类项目及相关政策的评估，市中心现有的分区法规允许办公楼转住宅项目立即实施。 JOHN LORINC

“由于项目已建成，因此他们的隐含碳排放成本比任何人都要高，”建筑师 Steven Paynter 表示。他是 Camden 的负责人，该公司专注于此类项目，目前正在进行一个 1,000 个住宅单元的转换项目，该项目是由 State Asset Management 拥有的位于 Foote 街和 St Clair 大道的前办公楼。

Paynter 先生认为，在此类项目中，现有的地基及其地下停车场基本上可以保持原样。“从可持续发展的角度来看，这是一个非常容易实现的胜利。混凝土约占全球碳排放总量的 10%——是航空业的四倍，因此只要保留混凝土并重复利用，就是巨大的胜利。”

一些开发商已经找到了如何加倍利用这些优势的方法。“我们在 195 个员工停车位中安装了 20 个充电桩，我们策略性地将它们布置在两个车位之间，所以我认为我们在大楼中实现了 100% 的覆盖，”卡尔加里开发商 Canna Corp. 的总裁 Robert Sipka 在谈到一座 1,000 单元的办公塔楼时表示。“我们的目标是为大楼租户实施共享汽车计划，从而提高电动汽车（EVs）的利用率。”

尽管如此，减排效益并非自动实现。从建筑角度来看，其中一些转换可能具有灵活性，而建筑商可能会通过做出欠考虑的设计选择（例如更换整个外墙，这是一项昂贵的工程，而不是针对那些破旧的覆层部分）来削弱财务红利。

Paynter先生指出，从能源效率的角度来看，如果窗户不能打开，而是通过泵入新鲜的调节空气，那么密封且气密性强的建筑表现最好。“大多数人仍然想要[可开启的窗户]，但从能源和新鲜空气的角度来看，它们实际上对你的单元并没有真正的益处。”

至于这些项目是否必然能提供优质住房，Halhouser的Jeffrey Biggar表示，他在哈利法克斯地区见过一些酒店改造项目，其产出为 1000000亿,0 00,000,000

但对于这些拥有足够尺寸单元的办公转住宅项目，其地理位置优势（在减少汽车使用方面也能降低排放）无疑具有吸引力，而住在前办公大楼里的体验同样如此，Astra的Oldsevsky先生表示。“你可以住在一座只有两部电梯的20层塔楼里，在10点钟回家时要等半小时，或者你可以住在一座拥有四组电梯银行的10层[前]办公塔楼里。”

在这个领域一直被指出的一点，或许并不令人惊讶，那就是如果没有公共部门计划（例如CIB或卡尔加里市的成本效益计划），改造项目可能无法实现当前一批项目中正在实现的那种减排效果。

“这是有可能的，但在我们看来，你的最终结果不会非常好，”Oldsevsky先生说。他补充道，深度改造转换是明确需求、旧办公楼的可用性以及政府或非营利组织提供的定向财务激励共同作用的结果。“归根结底，你想要提供的是一个舒适的空间。”

这座位于不列颠哥伦比亚省鲍恩岛（Bowen Island, B.C.）Sunset Rd. 1301号的房屋设计有可吸收雨水的绿化屋顶。它还能在夏天保持房屋凉爽，在冬天提供绝缘，并使其从某些角度看几乎消失在山坡之中。照片由 FRANK FOCKE / ACTIVITIES 提供

西海岸岛屿住宅在自然环境中拥有生态屋顶

不列颠哥伦比亚省鲍恩岛（Bowen Island）的一块空地被打造成为一座拥有绝佳视野的田园诗般住宅

LARA HALL

1301 Sunset Rd. 不列颠哥伦比亚省，鲍恩岛（BOWEN ISLAND, B.C.）

挂牌价：$1,200,000 税费：$7,250.24 地块面积：15英亩 代理人：Jesse Dixon, Engel & William Vanessow

THE EAGLE / TORY

Jan Willem从未想象过自己会住在岛上。但在2004年，他的女儿计划在温哥华电影学院学习，于是他和妻子从居住的荷兰飞往不列颠哥伦比亚省的西海岸，打算购买第二套房产。Willem先生的妻子对住在被太平洋环绕的湾岛（Gulf Islands）之一的想法很感兴趣。在前往鲍恩岛之前，他们参观了几个岛屿；鲍恩岛距离西温哥华仅需短时间轮渡即可抵达，在那里他们发现了一块待售的空地。

“我们一路来到了这个视野极佳的高处。这里海拔大约100米。我们站在那里俯瞰大海和风景，然后说：‘我的天，这里太棒了！’”Willem先生回忆道。他们第二天就提交了报价。

此后，Willem先生和妻子每年在鲍恩岛的房子里度过四到六个月，但现在，随着两人接近60岁，他们发现将时间分配在两处住所之间的后勤工作过于艰巨。“这让我很心痛，”Willem先生在谈到决定将房屋挂牌出售时说道。

如今的住宅

Willem先生和妻子聘请了同样住在鲍恩岛的建筑师Allan Peters来设计这座房子。他们知道自己想要一座能够融入景观的紧凑型住宅，并拥有一个“生态”绿色屋顶，这在当时的北美建筑中并不常见。Peters先生前往绿色屋顶更受欢迎的荷兰，以启动规划。Willem先生是一名机械工程师，他解释说，绿色屋顶不仅让建筑从某些角度看几乎消失在山坡中，还能吸收雨水，使房屋在夏天保持凉爽，在冬天保持绝缘。“我们有时在屋顶上吃晚餐，”他说。

在室内，开放式概念的厨房-

该住宅面向西侧的其他湾岛，而非大陆，这使其更加安静，并意味着拥有壮丽的日落景观。

房屋内部设计采用外露横梁和精加工枫木地板，以营造温暖、自然的感觉。

厨房和起居区由外露横梁和精加工枫木地板界定，营造出温暖、自然的感觉。Willem先生是一位热衷于烹饪的人，他花额外的时间与Peters先生一起设计厨房。厨房配备了一排西向窗户、具有醒目亚色饰面的大理石台面，以及一个兼顾烹饪和与客人社交的功能性布局。“我对厨房的建造方式非常满意，”Willem先生说。

房子中另一个不可妥协的特点是一个超大壁炉，Willem先生决定用来自一艘退役货轮的风化钢来装饰它。“如果你有一艘由钢材制成的船，钢材在盐水中会开始腐蚀，”他说。“然后钢板上会出现小凹痕——钢材中形成了不同的晶体。”他们最终从斯阔米什（Squamish）的一个工业现场找到了合适的部件，并将其运回鲍恩岛。“它看起来几乎像皮革，”Willem先生说。“它很特别。”

Willem先生和妻子还要求两个超大卧室，两个卧室均设有走入式阳台和独立浴室。顶层的一个灵活空间可用作第三间卧室、书房或艺术工作室。

该物业的生态屋顶和

自然化的景观也意味着减少了园艺时间，而有更多时间在海滩游泳（仅一公里之遥）、在沿海的小径上漫步，或者在人口约 2,000 人的鲍恩岛（Bowen Island）这个紧密且以艺术为导向的社区中度过。“这里非常安静，没有交通噪音，”威廉先生说道，他在岛上居住期间曾加入一个绘画小组并创作青铜雕塑。

最出色的特点

对于威廉先生来说，就是景观。

在日落路 1,000 号（1,000 Sunset Rd.），伊利诺伊（Illinois）最喜欢的是这里的景色。房屋面向西，对着其他的海湾群岛，而非面向大陆，这使得环境更加安静。这也为壮丽的日落提供了绝佳条件。

当他和妻子与彼得斯先生共同探讨房屋的初步设计时，彼得斯先生知道他们希望每个房间都安装超大窗户，以捕捉令人叹为观止的海岸景观。

“你透过房子望出去，可以看到宽广的海景，面向特克萨达岛（Texada Island）和阳光海岸（Sunshine Coast），”他说，“你会觉得，嗯，就像在天堂一样。”

定价较低导致多伦多翻新联排别墅收到10份报价

45 Shirley St., Toronto LITTLE FORTUNE

挂牌价：$195,000 (2024年5月) 成交价：$1,175,000 (2024年5月) 此前成交价：$330,000 (2024年8月), $464,000 (2024年4月), $282,000 (2024年5月), $120,000 (2024年7月) 税费：$6,296 (2024年) 上市天数：10 挂牌代理：Sandra Fink 和 Amy Polson, Sage Real Estate Ltd

交易过程 代理人 Amy Polson 采用了多种策略，为这栋位于 Dundalk Street 和 Lansdowne Avenue 附近的三卧室联排别墅吸引多份报价。她将价格设定在 1000万美元 以下，并设定了快速的报价提交截止日期。买家的反应非常热烈，开放日参观人数超过 100 人次，并收到了 10 份报价。

“每当你收到两位数的报价时，这通常是不在预料之中的，这里的情况确实如此，”Polson 先生表示。

“对于房屋，确实存在一些术后（post-op）买家需求。我们没有看到很多库存，[其中]一些冬季留下的房源一直没有成交。”

谈判最终以买家为这栋两层住宅出价高于挂牌价 $100,000 而结束。

早在 1995, 该房屋就在许多区域进行了翻新和扩建，包括地下室，现在地下室设有洗衣房、第二个厨房、一个全卫浴室、一个娱乐区和两个入口。

“在联排别墅中能获得这样的额外空间是不寻常的，”Polson 先生说。

“房屋背面有一个扩建部分，提供了一楼家庭房以及地下室的多代同堂居住方案。这里有很多灵活空间——

并且这确实也吸引了人们。”

房屋概况 这栋维多利亚风格建筑拥有 1,400 平方英尺的居住空间，包括更新后的厨房、客厅和餐厅，以及楼上的四件套浴室。

冷却系统和管道系统最近已更换。 室外有一个面向南的双层露台和一个车库。

埃德蒙顿翻新百年住宅以接近挂牌价成交

税费：$5,585 (2024年) 上市天数：10 挂牌代理：Clare Packer 和 Shandle Sayers, BigMan Excellence

交易过程 在业主以 $100,000. 买入不到两年后，这栋四卧室住宅对他们的家庭来说变得太小了。今年夏天，他们在挂牌价中选择了相同的金额（除非并非如此），转而面向那些能够接受拥有此类老房（如内置水疗设施）之古怪之处的买家。其他人在三周内与一名买家达成了全彩交易。

“Wentworth 是[埃德蒙顿]少数拥有这些两岁房源的地区之一，过去两年在那里售出的房源大约在几天内就成交了，”代理人 Clare Packer 表示。

“卖家很高兴能以这个价格成交，这样他们就可以搬到下一个房产了。”

在埃德蒙顿市中心以西几公里处，缺乏像这样结合了

传统与现代元素的房屋，这可能推动了夜间安全（night safe）。“仍然有一些地区，买家在购买房屋的故事、历史和魅力，”Packer 先生说。

“它拥有原始的硬木地板、塑料墙壁和楼梯。布局在很大程度上得到了保留，但进行了一些修改，比如浴室和厨房。”

房屋概况 这栋房子在三个楼层中拥有 1,400 平方英尺的居住空间，外加一个未完工的地下室。

交易情况 今年夏天，西端 Number Bay Shores 地区的公寓单位供应过量，这可能会抑制人们对 Number River 旁 Palace Place 这套 1,200 平方英尺转角单位的需求。但少数买家看中了其新装修的 1,400 平方英尺居住空间。买家的数量并不限于 1,400 平方英尺的居住空间，而且资金也非常充足。看到它如此快地成交令人相当惊讶，但这说明了整个套房的装修水平——

King West 大型顶层套房获得全价报价

55 Stewart St., No. 1026, Toronto KING WEST

挂牌价：$3,395,000（2026年4月） 成交价：$3,295,000（2026年6月） 此前成交价：$1,547,629（2010年7月） 税费：$15,529（2021年） 上市天数：48 挂牌代理：Christopher Bibby, By / Max Hallmark Bibby Group Realty

交易情况 这套 1,427 平方英尺的顶层公寓俯瞰维多利亚纪念广场公园（Victoria Memorial Square Park），在今年春季挂牌期间吸引了访客。业主并不急于出售，拒绝了前两份购买报价。他们接受了随后一份来自欣赏其规模和环境的买家的报价。

“买家提出了全价报价，我们接受了，”代理人 Christopher Bibby 表示。“在目前这种市场环境下，这是一个胜利。这最终成为了该建筑记录在案的最高成交价。”

基准点指向了像这样拥有三层楼和电梯的公寓的稀缺性。

“这个单位几乎就像一座天空之屋，”Bibby 先生说。“它的布局非常独特。”

“电梯最初是与建筑商定制的。它非常独特且罕见，并非其他单位的标准配置。”

房屋情况 这套顶层公寓的每个房间都有整面窗墙，此外厨房和办公室外有一个向西的阳台，二层的起居和用餐区沿线有一个向南的阳台。

三层有一个岩石状的

鞋区、一个洗衣房和两个带全卫的卧室。

二层有一个盥洗室。该单位在第一层包含 1 / 4。

该单位有六个储物锁柜和两个停车位。每月 $3.50 的费用涵盖了水费以及使用 Hotel 的设施，该豪华酒店与这座 45 年历史的建筑共用。

代理人表示：“俯瞰维多利亚纪念公园，且具有东南朝向，可俯瞰 CN Tower 和

市中心核心区，”Bibby 先生说。“业主可以使用酒店的屋顶和共享的升级设施，如健身

设施和餐厅。这也使其对买家非常有吸引力。”

上市及买方代理人 Bill Thorn, By / Max Realtors Realty Inc.

交易情况 这栋拥有四间卧室的房屋位于 Kyriview Village 购物中心以北约两公里处，在今年春季上市的第一周几乎没有引起买家的兴趣。代理人 Bill Thorn 的客户将快速售出视为优先事项，因此他迅速将价格从 $1,298,000 降至 $1,198,000，并提供公开和私人看房。开放日（open house）的访客表示将进入竞价流程，随后卖家再次降低了 $125,000 的价格，最终以 $1,500,000 成交。

“在我们调整价格之后，出现了相当多的意向，”Thorn 先生表示。“市场的反应非常积极。买家得到了一个相对较好的价格，而卖家则能够尽早将其售出。这是一个互利共赢的结果。”

成交价也反映了一栋较为陈旧的房屋价值较低，该房由定制建造，大约在 30 年前建成，位于一个 附近，临近优质学校、地铁线和 205 号公路。

“如果这块地上没有房子，价格大概也会差不多，”Thorn 先生说。“它位于一条 mid-10-var，一条尽头的小街上，这很好。”

房屋详情 这栋两层

住宅经过了几次翻新，包括更换了新屋顶。

这里有 1,000 平方英尺的居住空间，一个封闭式办公室，一个用餐区和一个拥有挑高天花板的客厅。

从厨房可以到达一个银行柜台（bank desk）以及一个带有壁炉的家庭房。

共有四个浴室，以及一个带有两间卧室和娱乐区的地下室。

代理人观点 “与 1920 年代的 [第二次世界大战时期的平房] 相比，这栋房子规模明显更大，且建造时间更近，”Thorn 先生说。

“买家可以花费 $10,000 让它看起来非常漂亮。”

挂牌代理：Gary Cirillo, Realty Executive Priority One Ltd

交易过程 这栋半独立式抬高平房的挂牌价为 $50,000，吸引了近三十名访客，其中包括四名买家和投资者。卖家在三个不同时间点拒绝了 70万美元 左右的报价，尽管该地区（靠近 Stocks 和 Islington 街道）的其他房屋交易价格就在那个水平，介于 $750,000 和 $700,000 之间。

“买家试图捡便宜，而我的客户则试图接近挂牌价，”代理人 Gary Cirillo 表示。

“该地区有很多低价成交案例。这就是为什么我们花费的时间稍长一些。”

7月，这栋位于蜿蜒的 1/3 英里街道上的 1 年房龄房屋收到了一份新报价。经过谈判，价格达到了 800,000，卖家接受了该报价。

“在这个区域，价格大幅下跌，”Cirillo 先生说。“这就是为什么很难拿到 $500,000。”

“它确实位于一条更好的街道上，而且从竞争情况来看，尽管它是原装状态，但在房屋维护程度方面可能是最好的。”

房屋情况 房屋的主层有一个嵌入式厨房和一个四件套浴室，以及三个卧室和铺有硬木地板的主房间。

客厅还拥有一个位于车库上方的前阳台。地下室有一个辅助厨房、一个完整浴室和两个娱乐区，其中一个设有壁炉和通往露台的滑动门。此外，在 1/4 英亩的地块上，它还有一个通往垂直车道的独立前出口。

代理人观点 “（该地区）大多数房屋是半独立式抬高平房或背靠背房屋，它们都有那种独立的（地下室）入口，”Cirillo 先生说。

“它的地块相当大。”

住房共享对租客和房东而言是双赢

SpaceShared 等项目将学生与房东联系在一起

KERRY GOLD 温哥华

Suzanne Petrie 是一位 60 岁的退休人员，住在安大略省的 Barron。Max Bentley-Acog105 是一位来自墨西哥坎昆的 30 岁青年，他与她共用住房。

通过租用 Petrie 女士家中的空间，Bentley-Acog105 先生找到了负担得起且体面的住房，使他能够在加拿大就学。对于 Petrie 女士来说，这位年轻的学生房客让她能够获得少量收入，在五项家务上得到一些帮助，并在她外出旅行时确保房屋安全。

“我独自住在一栋房子里，我的地下室有像浴室、客厅和浴室这样的空间，之前没有人住在里面，”退休教师 Petrie 女士说。“我不希望浪费空间，尤其是在这么多人需要住房的时候。”

这种最佳的学生安排是由 SpaceShared 实现的。该项目于 2023 年通过与 Barron 的乔治亚学院（Georgian College）合作启动，Bentley-Acog105 先生刚刚在那里完成了职业治疗助理的学习。

SpaceShared 项目拥有超过 10,000 名注册用户，在安大略省、纽芬兰省、新不伦瑞克省、马尼托巴省、萨斯喀彻温省运营，并且从今年夏天起进入不列颠哥伦比亚省，与兰加拉学院（Langars College）、温哥华社区学院（Vancouver Community College）和 Knuettes 综合理工大学建立了新的合作伙伴关系。另一个名为 SpaceNet 的联邦资助住房共享平台也在大温哥华地区以及该国的其他地区运营。

SpaceShared 首席执行官兼联合创始人 Rylan Kinross 表示，他们希望在大温哥华地区之外扩展到不列颠哥伦比亚省的其他地区。该项目切中了学生们面临的现实，尤其是当他们从另一个国家到达时：加拿大住房的高成本。

“就不列颠哥伦比亚省的经济适用房而言，虽然一些租赁市场指标有所缓解，但负担能力仍然是许多学生关注的问题，”Kinross 先生说。“他们仍然需要获得位于

Max Bentley-Acog105（左）租住在安大略省 Barron 的 Suzanne Petrie 家中。Bentley-Acog105 先生在就读乔治亚学院期间，通过 ShareSlipness 与 Petrie 女士联系，后者是一位在家中拥有独特居住空间的退休教师。

校园合理通勤范围内的安全、负担得起且高质量的住房。

许多学生寻求并受益于住房共享所能提供的跨代关系，包括对他们居住社区的初步了解和更深层的融入；对于老年人和其他房东而言，住房共享可以通过补充租赁收入来缓解生活成本压力，同时帮助解决孤独感和社会隔离问题。

“最终，这不仅仅是为了解决学生的住房需求，”他补充道。“这也是在许多加拿大人感到日益孤立和脱节的时刻，加强社区建设并建立有意义的联系。”

Petrie 女士在报纸上听说了这个项目，她在决定参与之前参加了一个信息说明会。Kinross 先生的组织会审核学生，并以少量费用帮助管理整个住房共享期间的任何问题，这一点吸引了她。

她需要回答很多问题以帮助寻找合适的匹配对象，然后她通过电话会议与学生们见面以帮助她做出决定。

例如，Petrie 女士说她知道一名学生不合适，因为当她在视频技术方面遇到困难时，该学生表现得很粗鲁。她也不想承担起像母亲一样的角色，比如告诉学生什么时候清理房间。Bentley-Acog105 先生在到达时就符合要求，而且这种安排进展顺利，他在毕业后将继续作为她的租客。他在四次通勤距离内找到了一份工作。

“你离开自己的国家，去往一个语言不通的国家，”Petrie女士说道，“你不熟悉那里的食物，不熟悉交通，对[文化]一无所知。我欣赏他们的一点是，他们具有独立思考的能力。”

Bentley-Acog105先生每月支付4并承担一些家务（如修剪草坪）以换取低廉的租金，他说，这比他朋友们支付的租金要低得多。他与Petrie女士有时会一起用餐。他的父母在得知他处于安全环境后感到很安心，而且他从这位年长的房东那里学到了一些东西。

“背景完全不同，而且对方比我年长，他们对这里的生活方式有很深刻的见解，”Bentley-Acog105先生说，“所以，至少根据我的经验，这通常有助于让你了解一切是如何运作的，而且正因如此，有很多话题可以聊。他们是极佳的人生导师，能教会你这个国家是如何运作的，”他说道。

Bentley-Acog105先生和Petrie女士在帮助他应对在加拿大的第一个冬天方面发挥了作用。“我的第一个冬天冲击很大，但是……房东帮我了解情况，让我准备好面对天气以及如何处理冰雪。这对我是全新的。我认为我的第一个和第二个冬天过得相当不错。”

在不列颠哥伦比亚省，根据2021-2022年的，62岁以上人口中，有 2 / 8,000 的人独居；尽管该地区部分新单元的申请量自2012年以来有所下降，但根据加拿大抵押贷款和住房公司的数据，包括长期占用单元在内的整体平均租金每月约为$2,500。

对于高等教育机构而言，住房共享计划可以帮助他们吸引并留住学生。

兰加拉学院全球总监Brad Van Dam在电子邮件中表示，这不仅仅关乎住房成本。

“寻找安全、实惠且温馨的住房可能是移居异国留学过程中压力最大的部分之一，”Van Dam先生说，“拥有一个安全且温馨的居住地可以帮助学生在兰加拉学院开始学习时感到安定、安全并有家的感觉。”

温哥华社区学院国际教育总监Jennifer Gosson表示，培养学生之间的社区意识以及帮助学生寻找合适的住房是她工作的核心。

“寻找靠近交通枢纽的实惠住房对学生来说是一个重大挑战，而SpaceShared不仅能提供一个更便捷的住房选择，还能提供一个温馨的、像家一样的环境，”Gosson女士说道。

交易情况：卖家在两年前以 $2.5-million 买入该单元，后因工作原因必须搬迁。

挂牌经纪人 Bronson-Bertles 表示，他们没有从这次销售中获利，但也没有损失太多。她表示，该物业保值。

“由于定价合理，我们在第一天就收到了相当多的关注和一个报价。我想补充的是，温哥华的某些区域（如基茨拉诺）确实非常保值，”Bertles 女士说。“就这栋

联排别墅而言，它非常独特，非常漂亮且极具欧洲风格，而且距离海滩仅一个街区。”

该经纪人举行了第二次开放日，但没有收到任何报价。

交易于7月15日完成。 物业详情：这栋 1,700 平方英尺的联排别墅位于“Bouth以北”，距离海滩约一个街区，处于温哥华最令人向往的社区之一。 这栋位于基茨拉诺的六单元精品物业建于 1983, 年，当时的开发商在空间和装修上较为慷慨。

空间内自然光充足，拥有双倍高度的中庭、两个私人露

台、一个屋顶平台和一个内部庭院。

工程橡木地板下方设有辐射加热系统。基茨拉诺的这处房产拥有一个大型岛台和高端电器。卖家此前已搬出，物业已完成全屋软装布置。

经纪人观点：Bertles 女士认为他们可能会收到另一个报价，但在一个波动市场中，接受一个完成日期较快且稳健的良好报价，比苦苦等待更好。

“你必须问自己，你的风险承受能力是多少？”Bertles 女士说。“因为下一个报价可能是 30-million。” - KERRY GOLD

Grifols pauses plasma collection amid scrutiny over donor deaths

Company cites 'unfounded attention' on practices as Health Canada issues non-compliance notice

ALANNA SMITH CHRIS KANNEY

Private blood-plasma collector Grifols, which has for months faced intense scrutiny after the deaths of two of its donors, is temporarily pausing plasma collection at its donation centres across Canada.

The company, in a statement on Thursday, said it proactively and voluntarily made the decision to pause collection activities in light of what it called 'unfounded attention' in its practices. Grifols is the only major commercial collector of plasma in Canada, with yr sites in six provinces.

'The temporary pause will allow Grifols to work with Health Canada and Canadian Blood Services on the framework needed to support the continued development of a sustainable and robust plasma collection network in Canada,' Grifols said in its statement.

Plasma is a protein-rich fluid found in blood that is collected and processed immediately. Grifols operates in partnership with Canadian Blood Services, but unlike at CBT's own plasma donation centres, it pays donors.

The for-profit operator said it told Health Canada on Wednesday of its decision to pause operations. That same day, the federal agency issued Grifols a formal

notice of non-compliance for its failure to abide by blood regulations, according to a senior official with close knowledge of the issue.

The Globe and Mail is not identifying the official because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

Health Canada inspections in the past year have identified recurring safety and operational deficiencies at multiple Grifols collection sites and its head office, including major to clearance of donors, staffing shortages and lack of oversight. In April, the agency imposed terms and conditions on Grifols's licences because of 'recurring, systemic deficiencies across several sites.' © GRIFOLS, A15

Ford signals he could lift ban on U.S. alcohol to help reach 'fair' trade deal

ADRIAN MORROW LAURA STONE, CALGIN, ONT

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is open to putting U.S. alcohol back on store shelves even if U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian autos, metals and forest products are only reduced and not eliminated.

On Thursday, as Prime Minister Mark Carney's top trade emissaries remained in Washington, scrambling for a deal, Mr. Ford signalled that he was willing to co-operate in get an agreement that would avoid Mr. Trump's latest threatened tariffs, scheduled to take effect on Aug. 14.

At an unrelated announcement in Caudry, Ont., Mr. Ford declined to call for an end to all U.S. tariffs as a precondition to ending his alcohol ban, which has been in place since March, 2020. He did, however, outline the actions that he said would need to be covered by a trade pact.

'It we got a fair deal that will protect our need sector, our auto sector, our forestry sector, our agricultural sector, manufacturing sector, then we'd be more than happy to bring Swiss back on shelves,' he said, adding Quebec's aluminum sector to the list of requirements in response to another question.

The co-operation of Mr. Ford and other premises could be crucial in reaching a deal. © TAKER, A15

Wild turkeys, once hunted out of existence in Ontario, come flocking back

PATRICK WHITE

Peter Webb runs a Facebook account called Pete Witnesses Nature, where he posts photos and videos of the wildlife that forestomans might otherwise miss as they bury about the city clutching phones and avoiding eye contact.

These are humbleness cavering in schimaxia pollen and warbling stores swallowing large berries with tiny beaks. Even the lovely urban pigeon appears coaxily and dignified to his frames.

Some of his close encounters with urban nature could prepare him for what he saw in late June a few steps from his home in the Parkdale neighborhood.

As he entered a small park sandwiched between a busy commuter-train corridor and traffic rearing along Lansdowne Avenue, he spotted a creature of feastly proportions meandering along the freerline.

'I didn't even do a double take, it was more like a quadruple take,' Mr. Webb said. 'It's like seeing an alien or a UFO. You know what it is, but you think it can't be.'

Five years after the fall of Kabul, the outlook darkens for Afghan women

Issue has divided the Taliban, while the West has turned away

MARK MacDONN

SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT

For the first four years that the Taliban were back in power in Afghanistan, Mahrouba Suraj did whatever she could to keep her shelter for abused women open. But seven months ago, the 24 women and girls under Mr. Suraj's protection - ranging from newborn to women in that two - were roughly shoved onto buses and driven away anyway.

Mr. Suraj, who, at 19, is considered the godmother of the woman's rights movement in Afghanistan, says her shelter was a victory both of the Taliban's violent misogyny and fading international interest in her country.

While hundreds of thousands of Afghans fled ahead of the Taliban's return to power on

Aug. 19, 2026, Mr. Suraj decided to stay in Kabul and continue her fight even after the United States and its allies withdrew from the country, ending a 20-year military province.

A co-founder of the Afghan Women's Network, Mr. Suraj initially believed that she could use her influence to convince the Taliban not to reimpose the harsh restrictions on women that had made the group an international packet in the space, the last time they held power in the country.

After she lost the big battle - the Taliban swiftly moved to once more her women from public spaces and to exclude girls from receiving education beyond Grade 9 - Mr. Suraj narrowed her focus to protecting the women who lived under her care in the building at the back of her Kabul home. © APOHAMSTAN, A8

Britain records hottest day of the year as western Europe swelters in another heat wave

PAN PYLAS ANGELA CHARLTON LONDON

The U.K. recorded its hottest day of the year Thursday, reaching 3p's degrees Celsius in west London, the national weather service said, as an intense stretch of hot weather continued to grip Europe.

The Met Office said the temperature outpaced this year's previous high of 5p C, recorded on June 5th. It remained below the U.K.'s August record of 5p's C, set in 2005.

Britain, like France, is experiencing its fifth heat wave of the year.

Temperatures in France, meanwhile, have gone even higher, approaching at C in several areas, from Aquitaine in the westmost to the Rhone River valley in the east, according to the national weather service.

The most intense heat is forecast to move avenues away from Britain and France on Friday and then recede over the weekend.

This summer has shown that both Britain and France are ill-equipped to deal with these levels of heat, for conditioning in a sanity outside of shops and offices, for example.

In Britain, it emerged Thursday that working has been particularly difficult in hospitals, where nurses have been known to collapse from heat exhaustion, according to the Royal College of Nursing.

"When nursing staff are collapsing, feeling dizzy, sick or even being admitted to the very hospitals they work to because their workplaces cannot handle the heat, it shows just how badly they are being failed," said Nicola Ranger, the college's chief executive and general secretary.

Like many parts of Europe, Britain and France are facing widespread drought conditions that have shrewded crops and drained rivers, heaping pressure on water resources for house-holds, agriculture and the environment, and forcing governments and water users to seek both short- and long-term mea-

sures to mitigate the effects of human-caused climate change.

Britain's Southern Water, which worsens supplies in the south of England, has applied for a rare drought order which would ban businesses from non-essential water use, including cleaning cars and lifting consignments swimming pools, saying an "exceptional" lack of rain in threatening supplies. Environment Secretary, Angela Eagle will decide on the application, which would be the first such ban since May, 2009.

With temperatures soaring, many people headed to beaches and outspray from or found other ways to cool off. In Bordeaux in southwestern France, children and adults sought relief in the city's iconic "water mirror" home fordeload in fountains, splashed their faces and filled up water bodies. Both too quenched their thirst.

With the land pushed and no sign of any meaningful rain coming, authorities in Britain and France remain on high alert for wildfires.

In Britain, which is increasing by looking sandy brown rather than its traditional location green, firefighters have been out in force this week trying to contain a wildfire in the New Korea in southern England.

Some 1,297 wildfires have been recorded in England and

Wales this year, according to data from the National Fire Chiefs Council, the same as last year's record-breaking total.

Though not on the same level as those witnessed in France, Greece and Spain, they provide ample evidence of the need for the U.K. to adjust to a new reality.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he will consider imposing a ban on disposable barbecues amid the risk of further wildfires as extreme heat continues to grip parts of the U.K.

"I do believe we need to get the message out loud and clear," he said. "People should not be using those barbecues outside at this moment in time."

French firefighters were back in action too after a desperate summer and an threatening to go on strike to demand more staff and resources to cope with increasingly extreme weather events.

One broke out late Wednesday in the northern Pacific-Calan region, and another in Brittany, far from the hottest, draw and move fire-prone regions in southern France. A historic fire deceased forces near Bordeaux last month and pushed a quarter of a million people from their homes.

Volunteers rally to help Summerland evacuees

Sikh temple feeds thousands displaced by wildfire as farmers, orchards and suppliers donate produce

ANDREA WOO

The calls began early Saturday morning, as members of the Penticton Sikh Temple smoke to news that the entire District of Summerland, B.C., had been evacuated because of a ferocious wildfire. Thousands of people were now streaming into Penticton and their Kalkoma, many with little more than the clothes on their backs.

Katrinder Rains phoned karnail Gill.

"What's our plan?" Mr. Rains asked. "Can we do something?"

"We have to," Mr. Gill replied. Mr. Gill, an organizer at the gurdwara, put out calls for donations on social media and on a Pussalk-language radio station. He created a group chat with farmers, orchardists and other food suppliers throughout the region, asking for whatever food they could spare.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, watermelon, apples, peaches, nectarines – produce in any amounts welcome, he wrote in the group chat. Cash donations by e-transfer would be used to purchase essentials.

"Together, it is possible," he said.

He connected with K3 Penticton, a non-profit that teaches young adults leadership skills, to co-ordinate meal preparation and discuss food safety.

The first meals were handed out by lunchtime.

As B.C. declared a province-wide state of emergency and wildland firefighters attacked the fast-moving blaze, another army mobilized in parallel farmers, small-business owners, community groups and other volunteers began gathering food, preparing meals, raising money and deliv-

ating supplies to those forced from their homes by fire.

Mr. Gill estimates that volunteers distributed 50% to 60% meals during the first lunch service, a figure that hallowed to about 3,000 per lunch and dinner service in following days.

Propice David Eby, who toured the site on Wednesday, offered his "heartfelt thanks" to the gurdwara for supporting evacuees with food and essential supplies.

"British Columbians come together when neighbours need help," he said in a social media post after his visit.

The gurdwara's facebook page, which has posted updates throughout the week, has been flooded with comments thanking members for their kindness.

Mr. Gill shrugged off the widespread praise his group has received, saying the effort is foundational to his faith.

"This is a concept of the Sikh religion. Organize yourself and then help others," he said.

"This is the way life should be."

Bobby Bear, owner of River Ridge Farms in Oliver and Mr. Gill's brother-in-law, was among those in the group chat. From Oliver, he co-ordinated monetary donations and boxes of produce from local farmers that others delivered to Penticton daily.

He too, placed down his contribution, saying he takes pride in his community.

"I don't mean just my Sikh community - the whole community. It doesn't matter what colour or race," he said. "We are a community, no everybody was standing up for each other. And that was pretty satisfying."

Donations by community members have also allowed the gurdwara to stock up on personal hygiene items, diapers and pet food, along with snack items and dry goods for evacuees to take. Those in need who can't make it to the gurdwara can phone to arrange delivery.

Many other organizations in Penticton have also rallied. The Salvation Army is providing evacuees with meals, blankets and other supports. Match Eatery

and Public House, a neighbourhood pub and canine, has converted its buffet space to a relief area for evacuees from morning until midnight, offering movies, board games, charging stations and wireless internet, food is served three times a day, with help from community donations.

In addition, other organizations and people throughout Okanagan Valley have also contributed.

The BC Wildlife Service has maintained 24 hour coverage on the fire, called the Bald Range wildlife, since it was discovered last Friday afternoon. It remains out of control.

On Thursday, 30% firefighting personnel were on site, with 34 helicopters and 35 pieces of heavy equipment. Another 154 personnel were working to protect homes and other buildings.

Summerland population 12,000, remains under an evacuation order. Thousands of others in surrounding communities are also still displaced from their homes.

Meanwhile, another blaze in the Okanagan is now considered held.

Central Okanagan Emergency Management said the Qudjetnik Clock fire that triggered evacuation earlier this month between Vernon and Kalkoma is expected to remain within its current boundary.

The emergency operations centre said it's assessing tree danger and hydro lines in the area to determine when residents can return home.

The highway that runs through the wildfire evacuation zone in Summerland has reopened on a limited basis.

The Regional District of Okanagan-Smithamore said that Highway 87 would be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with no stopping or exiting except for those with temporary access passes.

Ford plays down PC stale out of Crombie

Party spent $3,000 to survail former Ontario Liberal leader on trip to Jamaica Premier

LAURA STONE SUSAN T. FORT MYSTOTTER

Ontario Premier Doug Ford played down confederate Thursday that his Progressive Comet-voice Party spent thousands in realignment Ontario Liberal leader Ronnie Crombie on a vacation to Jamaica in December, 2023.

At an unrelated news conference in Caulph, Ont. Mr. Ford said he only learned of the incident this week, saying he doesn't condone it but adding that it was the party's money.

Online outfits The Trillium and Policeman reported Thursday that the PC Party sent an operation to one of Mr. Crombie as a woman shortly after she won the Liberal leadership. Mr. Crombie was also the mayor of Mississauga

at the time before resigning in January, 2024.

The allegations sparked condemnation from opposition parties who accused Mr. Ford's party of intimidation and misuse.

The Premier's government is also facing questions about MPP expenses, after it was revealed that several Toronto-area PC MPPs failed out of thousands in hotel days in recent years. Former tourism minister John Che-vi tipped from Mr. Ford's cabinet last month in the wake of the controversy, but none of the other MPPs have stopped down.

In relation to the Jamaica incident, Mr. Ford said Thursday that "It was $1,000 of the party's money, and I didn't know until yesterday," he told reporters, adding that "I don't approve of it."

Mr. Ford said he doesn't overuse every dollar spent on campaign. He added that it was a currency, but critics pointed out that political parties also receive taxpayer-funded pro-vote subsidies on top of donor money.

"I have talked to the party. I

wouldn't do it, but again, things happen," Mr. Ford said. He also alleged that the media followed him to Florida, Chicago and New Jersey, without elaborating or providing evidence.

A copy of the PC Party's 2023 annual financial statement, provided by the Ontario MPP detailed office and administration expenses of $1,000 to the Ocean Eden Bay Hotel and $1,000 to the Renofale Valley Hotel, also in Jamaica.

Mr. Crombie declared to comment on Thursday that she confirmed that she travelled to Ocean Eden Bay from Oct. 8 to 10, her 's/he also stated that she was the Ontario Liberal leadership cast, with her three partners, the family and some of the Re-Newer after anyone who were advertising conference.

Mr. Ford's party on Thursday, not including events: "The Ontario PC Party, like other political parties, conducts opposition on search. In this instance, that week included travel to Jamaica in December, 2023," party spokesman

Peter Turlington said in an email.

The Premier's Office previously told The Trillium and Policeman that "anyone preferred no longer works for the government or for the party."

At the same time as the Jamaica trip, the Progressive Comet-voice triers were attempting to paint Mr. Crombie as an alien.

Opposition parties on Thursday expressed uneasy that the party would have followed Mr. Crombie on her private time.

"This is beyond megamypower. Doug Ford needs to explain why he thought it was acceptable to the party," said Mr. Crombie, "because it stalled out of the country while the two are a personal trip," later in Liberal Leader John Roan's said in a statement: "This isn't problem. This is creepy, disturbing behaviour and a complete abuse of power."

Ontario MPP Leader Martin Sikes called the incident "displeting."

"Spring on a woman who is one of your political opponents

on her private vacation is snugy. Young only a fellow, that has no place here," Ms. Sikes said in a statement on X.

"Woman already face enough barriers in politics without this reason. The revenue Somatbody signed off on that expense, and he knows exactly who. Heads won't to walk."

Former Ontario Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne said on Scentfall was Thursday that the husband wanted to be the first in question or better. On X's would have followed Mr. Crombie's mammoth challenger on vacation if he had won the leadership in 2024.

"I really believe right now that we're living in a period of an encased or restored permission for misogyny," he said.

Mr. Crombie, who aged at Liberal leader in Jamaica, is now running against the party's money, and has a post she held for three terms before leaving the provincial politics.

Police charge man after officer shot during call for stolen bike in Toronto

ELISSA WEHRES

A man has been charged with attempted murder and another suspect is wanted after an overnight arrest over a stolen electric bike end of with a Toronto police officer being shot in the big police and Thursday.

Officials said the shooting is the latest incident as a spate of violence against police this summer, including the high-profile shooting death of an officer during a raid in June.

Police said they responded to a robbery call around 2 a.m. on the area of Blackstone Street and River Street East, after two shots on an e-bike approached another e-bike rider, allegedly pushed him off and assaulted him.

One man took off on the victim's e-bike while the other left in another direction, investigators said. One of the suspects allegedly had a hand.

When police found the suspect on the stolen e-bike, they alleged he resisted arrest and pulled out a gun, showing one of the officers.

Other officers rushed to put a tourniquet on his leg as they routed for paramedics to arrive, Deputy Chief Lauren Poppe said at a news conference Thursday.

The officer who has been with the force for about three years, was taken to hospital with injuries that were serious but not life-threatening.

A 27-year-old man from Peterborough, Ont. who police say was out on half for "violent of-

tences" and wanted in Paul and Waterloo to grow, was arrested, and police vetoed a firearm.

He faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, robbery with an offensive weapon, and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.

Another suspect is still wanted, and police said they do not have a description of him.

Supply Chief Poppe said the shooting is concerning for the force that is still grieving that while Marc Pannstein, who was fatally shot during a police raid in June.

The deputy chief called the shooting "another resulting example" of who stronger than twice, for victory, was a necessary.

"Here we go again," said Clayton Campbell, president of the Toronto Police Association, noting that four officers have been injured at work this year. The figure is unacceptable, he said.

"We have a police officer laying in there, shot," Mr. Campbell added at the news conference outside St. Michael's Hospital in downtown Toronto. "We had a police officer murdered only a few months ago."

Mr. Campbell said the police unrow will napleon and be forced to die two weeks.

Major Ofria Chew said the statement on social media that the shooting is "another so minded or what from that officers has each day as they serve on a try and work to keep people safe."

Toronto police recover stolen items linked to high-end crunch breaks ins

OM SHAMIRAD

Toronto police say they have recovered more than 10 million worth of family business, one other year paid during an investigation into high-end residential breaks ins, leading to these arrests and 100 charges.

More than 2,000 items he lawed to be stolen were recovered as part of Project Company, after a series of break and entry incident in plagued condominium buildings across Toronto.

Inspector Joe Marys told a news conference Thursday that the investigation began in May 2024, 2025, and the police had 14 Directors' Major Crime Cross found several residential units had been targeted for high-value items.

During the course of the investigation, police say they connected approximately eight to 10 additional incidents, starting in May, 2024. Since then, the investigation has found little between 10 break-and-enter incidents in the United States, Canada, Canada, and a website has now been launched for research to find their stolen items.

"We want to return these items to their owners," May Marys said.

Most of these items are on high value, and some may even be family business.

The stolen goods were found when investigation occurred a search warrant at a parachute provided in the crime suit organization, Stop Marys said.

"We allege stolen property was being trafficked through this business and converted into one of the 10s."

Police said Thursday that they arrested three people in March, who has 100 charges, including break-and-enter, possession of break-ins instruments and dispose with intent.

Toronto police spokesperson

Stephanie Sayer addressed that those arrested were Manila Immuneadvent, the Other Mandarin, 25, from Vaughan. They each face 97 charges, Omaha Mandalain, 25 of Toronto, was also arrested and have 10 charges.

Police said the parachute is located in the Queen Street East and Church Street east, and that the parachute owner is not among those arrested. In response to a question at the news conference, Teme104 frequent firmer. More than 2,000 items in part of the investigation and he "may be facing danger in the near future."

Toronto police have previously delivered 2,000 a lot to those investors throughout the Coast for Toronto from linked to organized groups targeting vehicles, and said police services across the region have been working together to address the problem.

Some investors and break-and-enter offences increased in Toronto's Roadside House. Path by 12 per cent between 2019 and 2023, according to a Globe and Mail analysis of the data, by comparison, in the city overall, the two offences fell by 27 per cent in the same period.

The ratio increased by 25 per cent in Tonge St. Clair and 2/3 per cent in Mount Pleasant East, respectively, in the city. High-income neighborhoods—defined as being in the top 25 per cent of household earnings.

The Globe reported that 70% of the police were using the Shell Up Squad, a unit investigating collection, and working with police services across the region to address the crime of break-ins.

As The Globe reported in April a spate of sometimes violent because of some different neighborhoods had prompted incidents to take action to protect their homes.

On Thursday, James Le, president of the South Roadside House, lives in town, and the situation has been further improved in the neighborhood since incidents organized private security patrols and introduced "virtual power" to reduce the frequency of these offences.

Ten children died from e-scooter injuries in Canada last year, new data show

HAWANA ALBERGA

New data highlight how dangerous e-scooters and e-bikes can be for children in Canada.

The Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program says to kids died from using three electronic devices in 2023, 2024, or 2025, in Ontario.

The first two patients were admitted to intensive care units and at were treated in the hospital for more than two days.

The total number of severe e-scooter and e-bike injuries last year involving prolonged hospital stays, 87% admissions on death for pediatric patients was 27.

The data were included in the CPSF's annual report, jointly released by the Public Health Agency. The data also left Canadian Paediatric Society Thursday. Researchers surveyed two physicians in the field to gather the in-

formation.

The report is one of the first to show the national scale of severe injuries for young people. It found 1,000 in the state from previous years, but Canadian Institute for Health Information does not launch a year ago show hospital patients involving e-scooters for kids between five and 9 years old had increased from 27 in 2023 to 23 in 2024 in 2024.

These disheartening results came as no surprise to doctors in emergency departments and trauma centers across the country who have witnessed a dramatic rise in injuries associated with these personal personal insurmountability devices, which can also include a misbehavior, a sanitation and foreclosures.

The age maximum for older is 40,000, previous to 40, 100, driven by 100 per cent of cases were reported in children under 40, highlighting the need for better policy co-ordin-

nation and public education to clearly communicate the laws, the report says.

As a pediatric emergency physician at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, Dr. Daniel Roscoe held said he nearly works a shift without seeing an e-scooter injury, an increase that he says has been "essentially exponential" over the year few years.

And, for children, there is at least something like a broken arm and almost half of the cases reported in the new data involved a head injury. That could result in a brain-based, increased shift or concussion, bureaucracy was the most common surgery.

"I think we've just hit a stepping point where the availability of these devices and health, popularity of these devices has not helped what we've ever seen before," said Dr. Roscoe, 40,000, of the Canadian Paediatric Society's Injury Prevention

Committee.

At 50,000, Dr. Roscoe had said only one patient came into the emergency department with an e-scooter related injury in 2023. That climbed to in in 2023, 20 in 2024, and over in 2025.

The problem right now is that you have a device that is marketed as a toy that is a high-speed motor vehicle that imitates an energy, he said, adding that these devices can go 20 km/h.

The three availability of a new regulations for e-scooters and e-bikes, depending on where you are, is the most common device that is, has also left Canadian similar and confused about the laws. Dr. Roscoe said he said.

In Ontario, some cities, such as Rampston and Mississauga, are part of an e-scooter plus program that allows the use of a new device more at speeds up to 24 km/h. Neighbouring Toronto, however, has banned e-scooters on public

roads, sidewalks and park pathways, though many places they lay. You can also still buy an e-scooter in the city.

On the day when in Alberta, you're not allowed to ride a pre-roadly owned e-scooter on roads or sidewalks, but you can rent one in Edmonton and Calgary, where licensed window operate. However, you can only take the roads on city paths.

Dr. Brian Rowe, who works in emergency and urgent care in Edmonton, said it feels like there is a disconnect in the scene that the air and the road is supposed to be making money, "and nobody really cares about the health care system and the disabled citizens."

"I think you could, at a provincial level, very clearly mention the messages that would be connected across the province," Dr. Rowe said.

In affiliate of Al-Qaeda used a 10-bro-million ransom payment from a Gulf state to finance an unprecedented rebel offensive that captured a military base in northern Mali, a United Nations report says.

The report by the UN monitoring team, released this week, discloses details of how Islamist militants orchestrated a wave of kidnapping to finance an expansion of their operations in the Sahel region of West Africa.

The al-Qaeda affiliate, known as JMM, collected the huge ransom payment from the Gulf state after kidnapping a member of its royal family, the UN team found. It did not identify the Gulf state, but the foreign was widely reported in its a prime front on United Arab Emirates who was involved in the gold trade.

"These funds played a key role in financing the group's offensive across Mali. The report says, estimating that JMM now has 7,000 m from monthend in the Sahel region and continues to escalate its operations.

In April, for the first time, JMM allied with a northern separation group to co-ordinate assaults on military targets across Mali. They

The rebel offensive, the biggest in 14 years, shocked Mali and raised fears that the Islamist militants could advance far beyond their northern strongholds and revenue large swathes of the country.

Their objective was "to in-

crease pressure on the authorities, under opposition focus and consolidate its influence in northern and central Mali," the UN report says.

While these had been "various coordination" between JMM and the northern separation in the past, "these operations marked a significant deepening of thesetilde labourations," he says.

The Islamist group has demonstrated its influence in southern Mali by organizing frequent blockades of the capital, Somalia, and halting fuel deliveries to the city.

Mali's military regime, which plagized French and United Nations forces in the country after seizing power in camp to a new and new, has become increasing in relation to Russian troops to defend rebel. But the estimated 1,000 m from Ralal to Mali, the warlike, diverse and armoured vehicles, have failed to halt the rise of the insurgents.

In an earlier report this year the UN monitoring team said JMM had conducted 21 kidnapping operations from Mali in October last year, nearly twice as

many as in any previous year, with expansion workers discouraged. "The increase in scale and scope was likely to increase the operational capability of JMM," it warned.

The revenue from ransom payments has helped Islamist groups keep alliances with local leaders in West Africa, according to a recent analysis by two scholars, Oliver Walther and Alexander M. Laskaris of the University of Florida.

The ransom funds "have also made the recruitment of young politicians to the West Niger, Mauritania and Burkina Faso easier for extended organizations, by offering significant financial incentives," they said.

The Sahel region has become the epicenter of global terrorism, accounting for about half of all terrorism-related deaths worldwide in recent years. In Burkina Faso, for example, JMM has claimed more than 100 attacks this year and has expanded its operations closer to the capital, Singaporeing, according to the UN report.

An affiliate of another Islamist group, Islamic State, has significantly increased its operational capabilities in the Niger and launched an assault on the country's superinternational airport in January, destroying four aircraft, the report said.

The additional airport said "demonstrated its ability to conduct complex urban operations," the UN monitoring team said. "Several at highest organized in to two assault groups attacked the airport using motorbikes, pick-up trucks, reconnaissance drones, small arms and mortars."

Iran and U.S. make competing claims over control of Strait of Hormuz

The Strait of Hormuz is "under Iran's control and management," the recently appointed head of Iran's Rosigranet/Irany unit said on Thursday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States had "total control" of the strategic workover.

Russia's fault said the U.S. had sought to disrupt what he described as the Islamic Republic's popularity in the region by launching another war in the West of Hormuz, but had once more been defeated despite claiming Iran had neither an air force nor a navy.

"Today I mean that the Strait of Hormuz is under the management and control of the Islamic Republic," he had said, according to the semi-official Iran news. He added that Iran was continuing on its course in complete security.

After the start of the war, which began with U.S. Israeli strikes on the sea left in 30, it has effectively shut the strait, through which a little of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas was previously shipped. The U.S. subsequently imposed a naval blockade on its main shipping and ports, while saying a would protect freedom of navigation for vessels intending to use from even human ports.

Iran's joint military command, Khatam al-Ashina Central Headquarters, said later on Thursday that no vessel could transit the Strait of Hormuz without Islamic permission.

"The baurites claims made by the United States regarding the normal passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz... are nothing more than lies and falsehoods," the command said in

a statement published by state media.

In June, the two countries reached an interim agreement declaring a permanent ceasefire and calling for a swift return to freedom of navigation in the Gulf.

The deal unravelled a few weeks later after Iran resumed limited attacks on vessels that it said were sailing contrary to the arrangements under the agreement, prompting the U.S. to restart strikes on Iran's southern provinces, which Washington said were amended degrading Musar's ability to target vessels in the Gulf. Separately on Thursday, senior military political official Raseed Sanad Rad said that Iran would not respond to strutations. He either side fulfilled its commitment under the interim deal, adding that the reopening of the waterway was not something the U.S. can achieve undetectably, according to Iran news.

Sanaad Rad also warned that Iran would respond more forcefully in any future conflict, saying, "In a possible future war, we will stand more firmly and more of-interests."

Ukraine's drones hit major Russian refinery deep inside country

ILLA MOYNOV YEV

Ukrainian drones struck a major refinery deep inside Russia, military officials said Thursday, the fourth in three days in Kyiv's monthly-long campaign to shake Moscow's vital oil sector.

Russia is one of the world's biggest energy producers, with oil providing an economic mainstay as its army tries to push deeper into Ukraine in a slow and costly advance more than four years after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion.

The attack's have denied Russia's refining capacity, bringing shortages at gas stations. Kyiv officials say the embargo tends to compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to seek a peace deal. There is no sign that strategy is working.

Ukraine's General Staff said that its forces struck the Supreme Nethinkin federal oil refining and petrochemical complex in Russia's republic of Rakhshotsian overnight, causing a fire at the facility.

The complex, located southeast of Moscow about 1,000 kilometres from Ukraine's border, is one of Russia's largest oil refining and petrochemical facilities, the General Staff said in a Telegram post.

The plant processes up to 75 million barrels of oil annually producing gasoline, diesel fuel and other products, it said.

Russia's Rakhshotsian governor, Rady Kharkov, said only that a drone attack wounded two civilians and started a fire in an industrial zone of Sakia.

Widderstra, Russia's largest online retailer whose guest warehouses have repeatedly been struck in Ukrainian drones, said, first started at one of its facilities in the Valkosh national scene after the overnight attack. The company said the facility was evacuated but that goods were not being stored there.

The attack came a day after Ukrainian anti-ship missiles and drones blitzed a major Russian naval base on the ground.

Elsewhere, four explosive experts from Russia's Emergency Ministry and a security guard were killed Thursday after an unspecified Ukrainian weapon exploded in invading a port city in illegally annexed Crimea, the Russian installed governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Kar-

veduryev said.

This wave is expecting the site of a Ukrainian attack when "an enemy weapon detonated," he said.

It was not possible to independently verify either said's experts.

Meanwhile, a Russian refinery in Onih that was hit by Ukrainian drones earlier this week has suspended operations, Orenburg region Governor Sergey Solokov said Thursday.

He said that "by radiation lines, which are not be restored at this time," was struck, including foreign equipment, and "during [international] sanctions into account," the repairs could take up to six months. We bolsterer said no irony yields a demuror in finance of the problems Ukrainian attacks are causing.

Ukraine's General Staff had reported striking the 10th refinery in Russia's Orenburg region near the border with Kazakhstan, on Tuesday.

Russia has decided by hammering Ukraine with ballistic missiles, jet-powered drones and glide bombs, all of which are powerful and hard to intercept. The strikes have killed more than oil and oil-fired men who run for war began, according to the United Nations.

Russian attacks featuring 93 long-range strike drones killed at least four people and wounded eight others across Ukraine overnight from Wolveshär in Thursday, officials said.

A jet-powered Shabad drone struck a passenger train in the southern Oskara region, killing the engineer and his assistant, Ukraine's state railway company, Shmabarytsia, said Thursday.

A Russian drone killed two men on Wolveshär a evening in the southern city of Moscow, regional military administration chief Oleksandr Protsalov said. Ukraine desperately wants more U.S.-made Patriot interceptors missiles that can counter Russia's ballistic missiles, but insults of the air defence system reportedly are low because of the fear war.

Ukraine so far this year has two and a half times fewer Patriot interceptors than its 1000, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying he makes calls every day to try and source some more.

Zambia votes in election that tests President's economic reforms

Incumbent seeks a second term after restructuring country's foreign debt, stabilizing the economy and attracting investment

JACOB ZIMBA MCMIGUE GOMEPE COLLEGE OF EUROPE

Vote counting got under way Thursday evening in Zambia after polls closed in a closely watched presidential election that tests whether President Haklande Hichilema's economic reforms were enough to overcome widespread frustration over the cost of living.

About eight million people in the southern African country of 22 million were registered to vote at more than 9,000 polling stations in the one-day election. Voters were also choosing members of parliament and local government councillors. The Electoral Commission of Zambia said results were expected Monday.

Voters bundled in think jackets had opened in long lines before down outside polling stations across Zambia, some building around makeshift fees as election officials prepared for voting.

European Union observers monitored voting at one polling station in Lesaka. In parody, a local election observer said poor voter direction, confusion over voter rolls and crowd management issues caused delays and frustration at some polling stations. Mathias Ngoma, in his 7/8, said he has voted in every election he could because "it's the only vote I have."

"I feared the sold to choose leaders I am hoping will make things better in our constituency," he said.

"The election is widely seen as a referendum on Mr. Hichilema's handling of the economy. Elected in 2024, he is seeking a second term after restructuring Zambia's massive foreign debt, stabilizing the economy and attracting investment."

Mr. Hichilema, one of a candidate, cast his ballot shortly after midday in Lesaka's Ashalanga suburb. He described the election as a choice between continuing the government's reforms or reversing course.

"This election is really about the people of Zambia and their

future – progress as opposed to regression," he told reporters.

Brian Mandahile, considered by analysis to be the strongest opposition candidate, cast his vote in the Olympa area. He assured Zambians that their "second in dependence" was imminent and encouraged them to cast their ballots peacefully.

Mr. Mandahile, who leads an alliance of opposition parties, has campaigned on promises to live at the cost of living, improve agriculture and restore democratic decisions while accusing Mr. Hichilema's government of undermining democratic institutions.

"This is a revolution," he said after voting. "The will of the Zambian people will certainly prevail in this election."

Mary Zambians say they don't feel the benefits of recent economic growth as unemployment, food prices and an unstable electricity supply continue to strain household budgets.

Mela Mahita, 40, an entrepreneur, said she wanted better conditions for entrepreneurs.

"The cost of living has been high," she said. "I want to see a government that will mean an environment where entrepreneurs can sustain their business to."

Christopher Kanda said he backed Mr. Hichilema because he believed the country was on the right track.

"I'm voting for stability," he said. "There's been a high cost of living... but I think we're heading in the right trajectory."

A presidential candidate must win more than 20 per cent of the vote to avoid a runoff.

The election is being closely watched abroad because Zambia

is a major producer of copper and is seeking to sharply increase production of the metal, which is critical to electric vehicles, removable energy and power grids.

China in Zambia's largest foreign investor and has extensive mining interests in the country, while the United States has sought a greater role as Washington seeks to diversify its critical mineral supplies and reduce its reliance on China.

Mr. Hichilema has counted its sentiment from both China and Western partners, including the U.S., as he seeks to increase annual copper production to three million tonnes by 2021.

Security and political tensions rose in the final days of the campaign. Police deployed additional officers and warned against violence, disruptions of polling stations and the circulation of false results.

Opposition parties and rights groups, including minority international, accused Mr. Hichilema's government of shrinking democratic space and using state institutions to target critics and political rivals, allegations the government expects Mr. Hichilema spent four months in jail on treason charges as an opposition leader under former president Edgar Langa, whom he defeated in 2024.

Zambia is regarded as one of southern Africa's more stable democracies, with a history of peaceful transfers of power. Mr. Hichilema's 2021 victory marked the country's third transfer of power to an opposition candidate since multiparty democracy returned in 2024.

Cuba marks late Fidel Castro's 100th birthday as divisive legacy looms

ANDREA RODRÍGUEZ GRAHAM, CUBA

Fidel Castro would have turned too on Thursday, and his long shadow continues to loom over the island as he remains revived by some who men him in the face of a crippling U.S. energy blockade and blamed by others who see him as the architect of the system that led to Cuba's current crisis.

This week, Cuba commemorated Mr. Castro with events including the International Book Fair, art exhibitions, concerts and gatherings of delegates from leftist organizations across the continent.

Posters bearing his image hang in hospitals, while billboards displaying his slogans – including his widely known "Homeland or Death" – line the streets. His presence is so familiar that many Cubans refer to him simply as Fidel.

"I believe [Fidel Castro] leaves Cuba a legacy of dignity, morality, before work and concern for the poor," writes and assures Miguel Ramat, who also is a member of the National Assembly, told the Associated Press. "And a philosophy that was translated into concrete policies in areas such as culture, education and public health."

Mr. Castro's centennial comes as Cuba faces an ever-intensifying squeeze that began when the Trump administration imposed a bad blockade in January and followed up with a series of sanctions aimed at promoting the communist government to make political and economic changes. The measures have deepened a five-year economic crisis fuelled by earlier U.S. sanctions and a failed domestic financial overhead.

For Cubans, the effects have been far-reaching. Prolonged power outages, shortages of fuel and insulation, declining industrial and tourism activity, flight cancellations, transportation restrictions and reduced work and school hours.

Mr. Castro governed Cuba for five decades. From 1993 until he handed over the presidency to his brother in 2024, holding massive rallies and making hours-long speeches. An immaterial influential until his death in 2024.

"Fidel left us everything, everything good that came from Cuba's revolutionary process," said Jorgita Montelier, a 40-year-old widow who lives in Old Bosnia. "In these difficult times we're living through, he would have found a way to bring some happiness to his country and his people."

Fidel Castro has won home Aug. 9, 2024, in various Cuba's sugar country, where his Spanish immigrant father first worked recruiting labour for U.S. sugar companies and later built up a prosperous plantation of his own. Shortly after graduating as a lawyer, he became politically active.

In 2019, Mr. Castro and more than 200 others attacked the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Alizarse Falgarcia Batista. Mr. Castro was canned and later released, then went into exile in Mexico. He returned to Cuba with fellow rebels and launched a guerrilla campaign that culminated in Mr. Batista's course in 1994 and Mr. Castro's rise to power.

Mr. Castro took power and radically transformed Cuba through agrarian reform, a massive literacy campaign and the nationalization of private businesses, policies that put his government on a collision course with the U.S.

Across Latin America and developing nations, Mr. Castro became a symbol of anti-colonial and revolutionary movements. His policies also fuelled deep opposition, lent among wealthy Cubans, many of whom fled to the United States, and later among those who opposed the Communist Party's monogels on political power.

"He is a controversial figure," said Satorana Manuel Garcia Morita, president of the opposition Council for the Democratic Transition in Cuba.

"There was no justification for sacrificing freedoms... There was no justification for preventing the rest [of the Cuban people] – and the country's political diversity and plurality – from expressing themselves," Mr. Garcia said. "That caused a rift whose consequences we are still living with today."

Groups pen open letter over Online Streaming Act

Top Canadian film and TV organizations urge Ottawa to remedy 'significant uncertainty' at introduced to industry via legislative changes

BARRY HERTZ

Dozens of leading Canadian film and television organizations including the Canadian Media Production Association, the फिल, have Guild of Canada and Hot Docs – issued an open letter Thursday to the federal government underlining the 'significant uncertainty' that Ottawa has introduced into the multifil-lion-dollar industry over the state of the Online Streaming Act.

In June, the Department of Canadian Heritage ordered the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to review its May policy regarding the Online Streaming Act (or Bill C's), which would have tripled the contributions of such foreign-owned streaming giants as Netflix and Amazon to ward the production and promotion of home-grown content, including local news, to is per cent from a per cent of their Canadian revenues.

The legislation – designed to bridge the gap between the declining ability of traditional Canadian broadcasters to contribute to this country's cultural system and the ascendancy of global streamers – is similar to laws already in place in other markets around the world. France, for instance, compels foreign streamers to invest so to as per cent of local revenue into french and European film and TV production, while Italy requires a step-cent commitment and Australia 's per cent.

At the time of its policy 5-turn in June, Canadian Heritage said that the costs imposed by C's 'could ultimately fall on Cana-

Comedians Mike Myers, left, and Dave Foley pose backstage at a Netflix television at the 14th Canadian Screen Awards in Toronto in May.

COLI FORTUNZ THE NEW YORK TIMES

dian consumers through higher prices,' sentiments echoed by Prime Minister Mark Carney in remarks to reporters last month (Amazon, Apple and Spotify have taken action in Canadian federal court in a bid to stop the law.)

In line of pursuing base-contribution requirements from streamers, Heritage Minister Marc Miller has said that Ottawa will inject favor-million annually to the screen sector, including local news and niche broadcasters (Health of when that money will begin to flow and to which organizations have not yet been revealed).

In an interview with The Globe and Mail in June, Mr. Miller said that the government will also continue to pursue an undefined rate of domestic revenues from streamers toward Canadian programming, though no figure has since been announced.

In the open letter issued Thursday to Mr. Carney and Mr. Miller, more than an cultural organizations from across the country, ranging from the Alho-

ta Media Production Industries Association to Quebec's Excitist des autres ctrices de radio, television et cinema, noted that the contributions outlined by the CRTC are 'not a tax or a levy,' but rather investments toward the production of Canadian stories that can travel the world through the reach of such platforms as Disney+ and Paramount+.

'In order for this to be a healthy, sustainable market, we need to have a balanced ecosystem. One of the ways of achieving that is having certain baseline Canadian rules that everyone abides by,' Reynolds Martin, president and chief executive of the Canadian Media Production Association, said in an interview.

'We're talking about commissioning Canadian shows that would go on these platforms on [streamers'] own services, which they would have every incentive to monetize, promote and make sure they're as successful as any other shows they provide. This has the potential to be relevant. The open letter went on to

note that the government's annual three-million pledge is not a commensurate replacement for 'durable, legally enforceable contribution obligations,' and that such funding is 'subject to budget and external political pressures, a regulated contribution framework is not.'

Further, the – signatories warned that if the Canadian government does not follow through on C's obligation to funnel a meaningful share of domestic revenue from streamers toward original Canadian programming, 'we risk weakening Canada's position as a cultural reporter and diminishing both the domestic and global reach of Canadian stories.'

So these platforms become more dominant in our market, without some baseline rules, they may one day be the sole arbiters of whether Canadians have access to Canadian stories,' the CNFTA. Mr. Martin said. 'If we let that happen, we'll have effectively called a giant shunk of Canadian culture to foreign decision makers and we'll have given away our national sovereignty in the process.'

The discussion is happening in the midst of intense trade negotiations between Ottawa and Washington, with U.S. President Donald Trump pledging to impose 30-per-cent tariffs on $10-billion worth of Canadian goods starting Aug. 9; Bill C's, which became law in 2022, has been frequently referenced as a top trade irritant by the U.S. government.

'We recognize that the government is operating in incredibly uncertain and unstable times. So it's incumbent upon us as an industry to recognize that and be good partners,' Mr. Martin said.

'Part of that involves sending letters like this: We want to help learn a dialogue within the industry with the government and with the streamers so that we can collectively map out what a promising future could look like for everyone.'

Afghanistan: Western governments’ decision to cut aid has worsened the humanitarian crisis, says activist

She complied with endless bureaucracy and cheerfully co-operated when the Taliban conducted snap inspections of her property.

Then, in December, the Taliban shut the shelter down anyway.

“They just came and took the women, and of course they used force. They just said nobody, no NGO, has the right to have a shelter for women,” Ms. Suraj said in a telephone interview. The closing of the shelter, the last of its kind in Afghanistan, has not been previously reported.

Ms. Suraj fears that the Taliban, instead of caring for the women, has strained them to their abusive husbands and families. She hasn’t been allowed to see any of the women since. “I’ve been asking every single week, Sometimes every day of the week, The situation really is terrible.”

Ms. Suraj says the situation for Afghanistan’s women is now just as she as it was in the region. The shocking part for her is that the West – which spent two decades supporting NGOs such as the Afghan Women’s Network, and encouraging Afghan women and girls to get an education – just walked away and let it happen.

While she agrees with the position of Western governments that have closed their embassies and refused to deal with the Taliban government, she says the parallel decision to suspend all direct foreign aid has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the country, while also crippling what remains of civil society in the country. “We cannot work. My NGO is one of the oldest NGOs that I standing still in Afghanistan, but we are not getting any support.”

Canada, like many other Western governments, closed its embassy in 2021 and now sends aid to Afghanistan only via the United Nations and other large international organizations.

Brittany Decker, a spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada, said the government’s position was that there could be “no normalization of relations with the Taliban until there is tangible progress on human rights, inclusive governance, and the protection of fundamental freedoms.”

The Taliban’s treatment of women is an issue that divides even within the Taliban. Those who study the movement say it has never been a monolith, and that a more pragmatic faction of the Taliban – largely based in and around the capital city of Kabul – would be willing to loosen restrictions on women if it brought Western recognition and aid money.

The disappearance of foreign assistance – which accounted for 75 per cent of public spending in the country before the Taliban takeover – triggered a collapse five years ago that pushed millions of Afghans who had been living on the edge into even deeper poverty.

The country’s overall economy has rebounded since then, growing a surprising 4 per cent last year despite Western sanctions and international isolation. But a swelling population – the United Nations’ International Organization for Migration says more than six million Afghan refugees who had been living in Pakistan and Iran have been forced home since 2021 – means that the country’s GDP per capita actually fell 2.4 per cent last year, despite the overall growth.

growth.

Analysis say the conservative leadership of the Taliban – headed by the movement’s supreme leader, Bhattaullah Akhandaada, who is based in the southern city of Kandahar – isn’t looking to correct course.

“The Emir has consolidated power, cannulated power a lot, and he and his inner circle are of the belief that they need to impose these strict rules for the betterment of Afghans – and if the cost of that is isolation from the international world, especially from Western countries, then so be it,” said Braheem Bahoo, a Kabul-based analyst with the International Crisis Group.

The Taliban’s main claim to success over the past five years, Mr. Bahoo said, is that they have managed to impose peace inside the country after more than four decades of warfare. (Although Pakistan has carried out a series of deadly strikes on Afghanistan this year in response to attacks on its members by the Pakistani Taliban.)

With no external rivals in sight, Miallah Akhandaada has signalled that his biggest worry is the growing divide inside the Taliban itself. The split between the Kandahar conservatives and the modernists in Kabul came to the less fast September when Miallah Akhandaada ordered the shutdown of internet and mobile networks in the country.

After three days, during which Afghanistan was effectively severed from the outside world, the networks were reconnected without explanation. The Kabul faction of the Taliban is widely believed to have been behind the several.

Mr. Bahoo said pragmatists within the Taliban look to Syria – where armed Islamists have also swept to power – as an alternative model.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Shama has avoided introducing measures that could be seen as extensive in Western government, and has been rewarded with the killing of most international sanctions against his country.

The hard-line Taliban leadership, however, believes they don’t need to change, and that the world will come to them. Their government has already gained formal recognition from Korea, and has growing trade relationships with China and Iran.

“I think the Taliban, from their perspective, they’ve quite happy,” Mr. Bahoo said. “They believe the region is already engaging with them, and the rest of the world will have no choice but to engage with them if they show they have during power.”

As the West turns away, and the Taliban grows more comfortable in power, Ms. Suraj fears the picture will only get darker for Afghanistan and particularly its women.

After almost a quarter-century of fighting for change, she admitted she’s thinking about giving up and moving to the United States to be closer to the rest of her family. The world, she said, has broken the promise it made five years ago not to forget Afghanistan.

“I cannot fight this war alone. How am I going to fight it? There’s no money. My office is hanging by a hair. There’s nothing left,” she said.

Over the phone line, it sounded like she was fighting back tears. “I gave it everything I had.”

The U.S. is right to be sour over dairy quotas

A November, 2018, U.S. trade officials walked out of trade negotiations with what they thought was a substantive victory. Ottawa had seemingly given ground on one of its most sacred film: supply management for the dairy sector.

For half a century, the supply of Canadian dairy has been continued to keep farm incomes by keeping prices artificially high. As part of that system, any imports entering the country without a special license are subject to levies that can surpass 200 per cent.

Seven years ago, American negotiators had convinced Canada to issue more of these raw import licenses, granting the U.S. dairy industry access to around 1.5 per cent of the domestic market. Ottawa paid out its 5-billion over six years to dairy farmers to make up for any potential losses.

But Canadian farmers did not lose all of this market to southern competitors, and U.S. exporters did not get the access they had been promised. Regardless of intent, Canada pulled what amounted to a half and switch. Ottawa honoured the deal with respect to the volume of dairy that could cross the border tariff line, but by restricting who had access to the licenses, demand was artificially suppressed.

The heart-shaw of tariff-free import licenses for dairy go to major Canadian processes. Distributors get a small amount, and retailers – the most likely to import products that consumers could purchase – receive some.

The end result: The U.S. dairy industry has consistently been unable to export the volume of dairy it was promised in 2018. In 2024, only 50 per cent of the total tariff-free import quota was used.

U.S. dairy exporters argue that this is because the entity with the most licenses – processors – do not use their power. Why would they import competitors U.S. produce? And the dairy they do import is typically the type used as ingredients: for example, in 2020, three types of cheese – cheddar, grated or powdered cheese, and mozzarella – accounted for 75 per cent of the tariff-free imports under the cheese category.

Washington has launched two disputes under the USMCA concerning this matter. Canada has made minor changes, but has thus far managed to avoid granting retailers access to the licenses. This is because in strict lawy only technicalities, Ottawa is abiding by the terms of USMCA. They never promised to allocate license to retailers.

But simply because something is legally defensible does not mean it because the spirit of an agreement, and this had faith action has only served to give the Trump administration perfect for more traffic. In July, the White House used these “abominations” practices “to justify 50-per-cent tariffs on US$50-million worth of Canadian exports.

Allying how dairy quotas are allocated is one of 80 key demands that U.S. negotiators are pressing, sources have told The Globe and Mail. Some of those demands are questionable, but the U.S. also have 5-point on the allocation of dairy quotas agreed upon in 2018.

The federal government should be under no illusion that that according to the dairy quota demand will soon lasting grace from the Trump administration. The President will undoubtedly find some other pretext to justify his trade wars.

Canada should concede the issue, but not as a favour or in a bid to somehow win goodwill with the Trump administration. If Ottawa wants to make the point (as it should), that trade treaties should be binding, then it should act accordingly. In doing so, the federal government will strengthen its position with political players outside of the White House, particularly the U.S. business community.

There is also the fact that the Canadian taxpayer has already paid the bill for this deal. A few thousand dairy farmers across the country have received a flat sum of cash every year for 100 years to compensate them for losses that have been forestalled, in part. It’s time for Ottawa to stop aside.

Reforming import/licence rules would be a small (and overdue) step toward increasing competition in the dairy market. It’s understandable why the Dairy farmers of Canada would worry about such a change: The cartel system of supply management is the antithesis of a free market. This space continues to believe that supply management should be scrapped.

But the notion that fully implementing the incremental changes of cost breaks the category of supply management is simply harmonizing. Canada should fulfill its promise.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A WORD

Re “Olsangam wildfire’s speed could be ‘new normal,’ fifty says” (Aug. 15). Having just driven through strode, fire-raging British Columbia, I cringe at the term “new normal.”

I think instead we should speak of the “new nightmare.” Somehow “normal” makes it seem that everything is okay.

Everything is not okay. ■ Cathy Murray Corinne, Alta.

POLITICAL REFORM

Re “It can happen here: Why are autocrat could run to power in Canada?” (Opinion, Aug. 4). Claims that Trumpian authoritarianism could happen in Canada are concerning. It happened after the United States despite constitutional and institutional barriers more to the future than in Canada.

The Reform Act, for example, theoretically strengthens the hand of party caucuses against a leader, but surely the American example shows how inadequate it is in the face of an authoritarian leader.

Writings conventions, extrinsity public education and engagement are more promising, however they would not address underlying causes. In Canada, like other Western countries, the state is involved in virtually everything, creating a nation of depositions in place of the independent middle class that gave us parliamentary democracy.

The challenge is to preserve the modern array of services while circulating the operations of government from politicians. This could help release public employees, citizens and businesses from the receptionist behavior so pervasive across America today.

■ Jack Stillman Ottawa

While Canada has no midterm decisions per se, by decision provide a degree of accountability. Was by the prime minister who ignores the results of by-elections and fails to course-correct (Granted, by-elections are held at the discretion of the prime minister)?

Furthermore, decisions to presurge Parliament are supposed to be made by the governor-general and not the prime minister. Perhaps most crucially, the prime minister holds the power to name judges to federally appointed courts, including the Supreme Court.

Sadly, I agree that Canada indeed starts at the 50- or 60-metric line of a 100-metre hurdle race to tyranny.

■ John Kelly Victoria

We must be careful not to rely on rules and institutions to serve it.

The United States has a well-designed Constitution, but a half lot has been called upon to work it recently. Canada’s flawed Con-

stitutions can serve as well, if we call upon good people to work it.

There are two third and two ways to remove a bad prime minister in Canada. The first decision our experience as a hockey trainer is made—banning Israel. This is how political parties in British Columbia typically dispose of their leaders.

The second mechanism is a rule of non-confidence, which is much easier than impeachment of a U.S. president.

The Reform Act or other measures are unlikely to serve as if MPs are unwilling to use them. To avoid the perils of authoritarianism, we should shut people who will put the country ahead of their party and their own architecture.

That’s on us. ■ Harold Seltzer Associate professor, department of political science, University of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford, B.C.

THE ODDS

Re “The 24 hours that could change Canada’s economic trajectory” (Report on Business, Aug. 8). Mark Carney will be in the element in his patient global mission and leaders. For an illiterate man he is absent some true.

Will Canadian taxpayers benefit? Highly unlikely. Will be instead also our more investments – taxpayer debt – to the wealthy? Here likely.

■ Catherine Sorensen Kingston

FIVE DEEAN

Re “Ottawa announces $24-million to help commentators across Canada cope with climate change” (Aug. 15). Does anyone else say the truth?

This $24-million announcement is one thousandth of the $24-billion Ottawa invested in the Trans-Mountain pipeline and a similar feature of the proposed federal investment in a West Coast pipeline.

So the government is spending just one thousandth on making commentators more resilient to the effects of climate change caused by the ill transported through these pipelines.

■ Peter Sanner Hamilton

Re “With a new oil pipeline, Canadians are being asked to make a bet on the part” (Opinion, Aug. 8). A compelling summary of the climate science, economics and story politics of Mark Carney’s commitment to invest $24-billion as a pipeline.

As the Economic reality of climate change bears down on us all, we are investing in the past instead of investing in a low carbon future. Why can I see make future generations over-present by致命 in a climate-friendly world for our kids?

I thought I voted for a Prime

Minister who understood the threat of climate change and the economic opportunities emerging from the global energy transition. How wrong? Here.

■ Betty Weiss The Blue Mountains, Ont.

How can we make a $40-billion commitment to subsidize a pipeline without considering the alternative? A cost-benefit analysis is the least we should expect.

At a time when known in our country and around the world are burning due to the drying effects of using temperatures, and when heat extremes are causing thousands of deaths, we should have no business increasing the amount of carbon being burned or methane produced in Canada or downstream.

Turn to the economy of the future based on renewables and battery storage. Half our export industries to match where future demand will be, not expand the fossil-fuel industry.

Let’s invest in solar, wind and geothermal energy. Let’s create a man retrofit program across the country. There are huge reliable options that sustainably reduce our emissions.

■ Carl Akerman Scorer

One permission incentive to resist a renewable energy future is that governments receive royalties from fossil fuel production. These are vastly larger than the tax-revenue collected from wind and solar energy.

The economic benefits of wind and solar flow directly to consumers through lower heating and cooling costs, rather than being controlled by governments for their own political ends.

The deeper problem in the Jason Arday story

The case of the former Cambridge professor has become a proxy battle in the culture war

WALMIRA S. SMITH SUDRA THOMPSON

OPINION

Malinda S. Smith is a professor of political science at the University of Calgary

Sobra Thompson — an associate professor of political science and social sciences at the New Haven University in Democratic Scranton at McGill University and a catholic-hy colorantist for The Globe and Mail

If the summer case of former Cambridge professor Jason Arday, we need to separate the facts from the conjecture.

We know that the Arday was appointed professor of sociology at education at the University of New York at St. Paul, Wyoming, or, the youngest Black person appointed to a professorship in the university's history. We know that, after a causation of plagiarism and personal history information by Nathan Adams, a

former Cambridge research associate who argued that in a monocracy, Black people would largely disappear from high-profile positions outside sport and entertainment—reporting for a widely substantial overlap between Mr. Arday's research and other scholars' work. Earlier institutional reviews found that some problems were the result of Samuel and reasonable error. Some others seemed to be able to issue corrections. He has acknowledged mistakes, denied plagiarism, and decreed what he saw as the deployment of a 'well-presented' playbook for decriing Black academics' in high-profile positions.

Cambridge, which initially supported Mr. Arday, said on Aug. 7 that it would investigate the allegations he charged from his position a few hours later. Vice-Chancellor Deborah Press, one then associated an independent investigation into his appointment, while undercovering that the case — 'an afternoon' should not be used to 'cast appearance' on the work of legitimacy of Cambridge's scholars' of science.

But Mr. Arday's story was not going to be just about one academic, because he devoted to the speculative spectacle in the

case becomes the property of the culture wars already. He supervises how described the attacks on him as a 'dedicated, co-ordinated, moral campaign' from the political right. Many of his critics, meanwhile, have the recognition to advance a wider campaign against DEI — evidence against the legitimacy of Black academics and their fields, and what they see as the ideological aspects of higher education by leftist.

This is the problem of the identification of anti-racism. As a fellow writer and it is a superior approach to DEI that puts the person on a political/political concern when a likely behavior is involved. That's the deeper problem. That ebb universities use highly visible Black letters' as tokens to put down 'drivancy alone,' which convey systems problems intact and belong individual scholars to bear the ebb and handous.

Drivancy didn't either be the accumulated consequences of anti-organisation's historical research, or the recent, previous and extant employees from the communities to face previously excluded or marginalized. In universities that didn't cannot be discharged through a handful of highly public appointments if the institu-

tional practices that have historically structured access to academic opportunity, recognition, advancement and leadership system largely unchanged.

When universities do operate highly visible Black scholars, the schools enjoy reputational benefits. The appointment becomes a high-profile signal that Things Are Changing, and the individual becomes a symbol of progress and future in institutional transformation. Universities can capitalize on those benefits, while largely externalizing the risks.

Academic misconduct is real and academic standards matter the allegations against Mr. Arday should be rigorously and continuously reviewed. But Cambridge's decision to open a further investigation, which led to the case of the most economic and social-media amplification about the case, gives it a convenient institutional reset. In position several studies the university is set itself up as a guardian of academic standards by placing letters on the person's official process, investigating how the failure occurred, outlining the architectural value of other scholars of colour and, no matter the findings, reaffirming its own credibility.

The heavy burden of representation then falls upon the individual. On or for success becomes evidence the institutions have changed, but so far failure becomes evidence that they never should have changed at all. That's how the 'first' too often becomes the 'only'.

Black scholars know how a white scholar's error tends to create a story about the individual, while a black scholar's error often becomes a collective indulgence, used to question Black presence in elite institutions more broadly. For more Black scholars, that generalizational part of a co-ordinated political campaign, and the 'second' belief that Black people do not belong there. A confidentiality therefore cannot stop with Mr. Arday Cambridge must answer for its appointment, according to his spouse, media organizations and commentators must answer for how allegations and speculation are framed and amplified, and political actors who extend one cause to black scholars otherwise must answer for how it works harm they help produce.

If they fail to do so, there will be lasting damage, because one controversy can easily lead to this a presumptive about who belongs to the academy.

Trump's fixation with undermining vaccination harms kids

ANDREY

PICKER

Among his many unachievable history pursuits, U.S. President Donald Trump seems to fall best on seeing more unnecessarily rebranded children in the wealthiest country on Earth.

On Monday he issued an execution order calling for a revamped childhood vaccination schedule, one that would make it harder to get vaccinated and offer low protection against devastating childhood illnesses.

In short, the presidential decree called for the number of recommended childhood vaccines to fall to 10 from 10, and for the convenience combination, WHO (encases mumps-rubella) vaccine to be split into separate shots. To say it all off, the President ordered the Justice Department to vac state, that dusty go along with his wishes.

And he had the transcript to all all this a 'major victory for parents' rights. Helping and comprehensive care was against standard science. 'Note the lack of more care at children's health.'

Like almost all of Mr. Trump's health policy pronouncements, it featured a litany of lies and unaccolable baffings.

The removal the fixation with the purported link between autumn and the WHO vaccine, which has been debunked thoroughly, disclosing the combination vaccination.

Mr. Trump went on to argue that this alleged risk responses when measles, mumps, and na-

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks while signing an executive order on vaccine flexibility in Washington on Monday, Oct. 13 (UPI) (0:00 PM)

nella vaccines are given separate time.

Again, there is zero evidence that 'spacing out' these makes a lack of difference. the WHO vaccine has been used to protect hundreds of millions of children, safely and effectively since 2015.

The President also suggested a mention that separate shots are not available in the U.S. and that, under his proposed policy, it is highly likely lower kids would get vaccinated and more would get sick.

The executive order insures all insintuations attempts that began under this year to cut back the number of recommended vaccines (specifically, it says vaccines are against hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus, respiratory syncytial

virus, bacterial meningitis and influenza should no longer be seen. (So far, the more has been stopped by the courts.)

The principal argument seems to be that children receive 'too many' shots, and their immune systems are overwhelmed. Research has shown that, theoretically, a child could get vaccine vaccines without compromising the immune system.

At the announcement, Mr. Trump claimed children get 'in 'jailns' (Meanwhile, the White House funding document-casting doses in 15 days, and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy is said to).

In fact, children in the U.S. get around 15 injections by age, almost of them combination

vaccines, and some boosters are they get older. If they follow the current recommendation,

By Mr. Trump's defense calculations, the three doses in the WHO vaccine and the five doses in the USA (PPI with diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, and Haemophilus influenza type b) vaccine are counted as separate plots.

Fundistically, because policy or splitting up the WHO vaccine would significantly increase the number of needles a child would receive.

If that were not enough, Mr. Trump definitely demonstrated his ignorance of all things vaccine-related, which he claimed that 'rest-of-vaccine are currently pumped into a 'red-held' study.'

Later, when reporters chal-

longed him, he added: 'I've seen proof of it. Where they have a vaccination that took this time, one of a bottle of soda poured into a little child's body.'

Before an 'in' one or pargan-tuan syringes,

A standard pediatric vaccine contains about 1.2 millilitres of liquid (and even less active ingredient), which is typically plastic bottle of soda contains 100 millilitres, or about 2 1/2 in times more than a childhood vaccine.

These statements are so ridiculous as to be laughable. But anti-vaccine rhetoric is no laughing man.

A personal attacks on vaccination by Mr. Trump and his activism are an confusion among parents and contribute to vaccine hesitancy, which has real consequences.

For example, the U.S. is in the midst of its worst measles outbreak in three decades, with 2,4% measles cases recorded this year as of Aug. 9.

Earlier, the vaccination among kindergarten students continue to drop, as the number of parents seeking exemptions grows. (Aha-ah, some of whom is mandatory because of the number of children's visits, but every jurisdiction allows exemptions for medical religious and philosophical reasons.)

As he often does, Mr. Trump disregard all sides of his policy, saying, 'there's nothing to lose with this.' But there's plenty to lose. 'Nursing with a vaccine schedule that works will result in fewer children vaccinated, more illness and death, more 10,000 more pain, all with you: safety needs and when all the services are thrown in for good measure.'

Global humanitarian crises are getting worse. Where is Canada?

WRETH KELLY

OPINION

Chair of the World Refugees & Migration Canada's former union official features official and a former member of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada

A Union to migrants shall last in search when time of three hands of people urged into the world 'speak in nature of Canada'. In the political demands across Europe, from thought most of the migrants quickly returned to Norway, the incident continues to go up about attention.

Meanwhile, a global humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in price far removed from costs and from the public eye—precipitated by unprecedented cuts to humanitarian assistance.

It began last year with a young woman's reaction to funding from the United States, which had been the backbone of the humanitarian system for decades.

Other major donors have also reduced their commitments since then, including Canada, which in-funds to further costs and budget by an estimated 10 per cent by 2026.

For decades, Canada has spent two of its national income in overseas assistance, that made millions of the OECD Development Assistance Committee, an International forum of major aid donors. Despite the agreed-upon target of devoting 1.7 per cent of gross national income to internet-based development assistance, Canada has boomed around 0.2 per cent for the past two decades, a number that has only declined over the last several years.

The effects of international aid cuts have been immediate and this on the ground. Food assistance, nutrition programs, vaccination campaigns, health services, shelter, water and sanitation programs, protection services, and food services have been sharply scaled back, or shared out altogether. Modifying studies suggest that reductions in

international humanitarian assistance could result in more than 12 million deaths by 2026. These estimates predict the loss conflict, which, according to the United Nations, could push 20 million more people into acute food insurance.

From the 2026 PMA's report, speech to the World Economic Forum in January urged the world's middle powers to 'build something happy, better, more, and more just' from the present regime in the side-biasing international order. And while the remarks focused on countering economic trade barriers, he also invoked Canada's commitment to 'help solve global problems' by working with 'different coalitions for different issues based on common values and interests.' It is precisely that kind of coalition that is urgently needed to address the current human system crisis.

The PMA has long needed reform, but Canada's recent request, alongside other donors represents a missed opportunity

to improve it rather than shrinking and weakening it. Designed after the Second World War to all dress short-term emergencies, the humanitarian aid system has been drawn into previously uncovered beyond life-saving aid, remaining engaged for decades in highly overconsumed countries, poverty, insecurity, and rights of nations. Now that they have slashed budgets, humanitarian agencies are rightly focusing on the most urgent needs and improving organizational efficiency.

But these necessary measures are unbelievable. Without supporting longer-term recovery, efforts to rebuild lives, strengthen skills, and improve socio-economic prospects, people will continue to be trapped in poverty for generations — and inevitably, the costs will rise as needs increase. Vaccinationalism from emergency relief to sustainable development resources has been added to balance, stress, understanding and weak state capacity, a new collective partnership model is urgently required to move

beyond short-term humanitarian cycles toward a development-led approach, a long lead that donors aspirate to.

And it is there that Canadian leadership and coalition-building could make a significant difference. Rather than disengaged, the international industry is addressing the acute needs of the world's most marginalized communities. Canada could work to protect. This would entail reversing planned cuts to international humanitarian aid and changeover. The government's economic development interventions, bringing durable improvements to people's lives in a more cost-effective and sustainable manner.

The PMA's report, which also shows, is where problems do not respect national borders, inefficiencies is not a policy but a deformed cost. A further retract from the global humanitarian crisis will be an initiative as a trade-year it will only make it worse.

New Bourdain biopic Tony is a movable feast

Canadian director Matt Johnson delivers situation of film about voracious ambition

BARRY MEET REVIEW

Tony CLASSIFICATION: N/A, 110 MINUTES

Directed by Matt Johnson Written by Matt Burch, Lou Howe, Matthew Miller and Matt Johnson Shaving Downed Social, Emilia Jones and Anheme Kunitzner

CRITIC | PICK

Tony, the wonderful new biopic about the early days of chef and author Anthony Bourdain from Canadian director

Matt Johnson, is bombarded by screen-to-watch the 60th character of the film's film's novel by com- mittee. In the film's beginning, a co-op on old Tony (Simmons, Israel) is all unintentional bluster and ob- noisoned by result, convinced that the film's film's film's novel is never than the Teaser professors and- joining America's prestigious films are great. By the film's end— no problem here, don't worry—the surprise here is pretty flipped, the political critic artist as a fourdrinled young man (mostly) complete.

Watching the film the other world, it was difficult to sort imag- ine Johnson saying the film's only sometime structure to examine some of his own demons where it comes to the director's own situation. But the film's story is the transcendent power of youth- ful audiences. Is that a teenage Bourdain all too constantly ac- cording that his academic status has to be high what that art is? Or is it a young Johnson spitting the in- ferent of an out-of-mouth common for from Stilefilm Canada, its gate- keepers reluctant to fund his early idea for what would become Simmons the feast the show the Wives?

Just as Tony (the man) grows up and learns to use failure as a laundering pad for something greater, Tony (the movie) displays the sustaining world of filmmakers reckoning with the winding, which mistake takes path that full Johnson to leap from the scrappy Canadian film industry to the luxurious land of Holly- wood.

Dominic Sessa, left, pictured with Lou Woodall, delivers a tremendous lead performance as a young Anthony Bourdain in Tony.

In that sense and more, Tony folds like the spiritual sequel not to Simmons but to Johnson's arto- rous sexy corporate comedy Blackberry, another film focusing on what happens when bright- coming some new musicals on change the game despite or per- haps because they're sleeping with inaccuracy and failure. (Lou important but still interesting parallel) between Tony and Black- Berry both films share a cast involved — Rich Nozume, who played an engineer in Blackberry and later taken on the Bourdain family patriarch — and a path- gag about one character's fiction re- cludes upon the film itself.

Yet Tony works as a film with- ly or not you know the air of Johnson's studio in Canada — now, or in Israel, this is a movie about how we all grow up de- partately trying to construct our own media, and what happens when uncertain ambition meets the cold splash of reality. It might focus on the origins of a beloved pop-cal- licist figure: but there are so many moments in which you can begin about the brain and markers of Bourdain's real-life and simple re- sity it as a story about one man's veterinary aspirations and apps.

Yet entirely during the summer of 1979, Johnson's film open-ended Tony fighting twin before his co- coming academic performance and his suffocating home life. While his father is literally sup-

portive of his goal to become a novelist, his mother (Sugman, Dominic) left gives Tony the full little hoppies treatment under- mining and educating him in every opportunity. There's also more than a shade of the family dynamics in Paul Thomas Andre- son's design flight here, complete with Tony seeking refuge in his poster-adorced childhood boy- room.

Despite encouraged by a quick, provide-filtration encounter for Sessa at local Fair with a fellow stu- dent named Nancy (Emilia Jones), Tony impulsively packs his drafch and just heads to a part and in the roadside of the night.

But after arriving in the pictur- reage, Johnie Hirmel Province, town, Tony quickly runs out of money and schemes, and blows me, opportunity after another to book up with Nancy. Through a semi-conceived scene of circum- stances, he ends up working as a disbouscher in the grimy kitchen of a state-incarnator only known as Chef (Antonio Handlow), if he knew where Tony's love of culinary culture is born, alongside third- degree home to his hands and mills wounds to his fingers.

Reaching the studio-to-grow trops familiar to so many dull biographical films—including the best comedians of such hoppings offers as the new Michael Jackson movie — Johnson (left) offers audi- ments a narrow but pivotal peak into Bourdain's life. This isn't a

daily reverent catalogue of Bour- dain (nora.com) electric reflection of African Celebrated Easter eggs (no one, thank god, throws out a fire that "no misconceptions"). It is a small portion of person life, imag- ined publicly.

It is also, critically, built around a tremendous lead performance from Sessa. After breaking out with Alexander Pryor's very dis- nearly The Richbows, the actor continues to grow off the impu- sion that he's been supported here from a bygone era of Holly- wood, where commitment and energy were paramount. Uncon- certed with the Eastern tent of variety, and competing his very frame into the most uncomfort- able and embarrassing of poses, Sessa captures the rogue, perilous spirit of the nation's while creating a young youth mainly his own. The actor ensures that you rest for Tony even when he is being a dan- ger to himself and anyone else who might trap into his orbit.

These supporting players in- clude your only American's deeply souffed spin on Chef, but also a finetracker transform Lou Woodall as Tony's half-live series-check- ing manner, Sal. Together, Chef and Sal's head-of-the-house pro- vision play the respective angle and level sitting atop Tony's decadence, such as them making reasonably convincing argu- ments for office stalling your move to the grindstone or shaving these months full of cocaine.

The careful attention that Johnson pays to the intimate de- names and politics of a restau- ment's kitchen, though, results in some shortcomings where the film stays outside of their space. While Nancy is the most talented female character to appear in a Johnson production, she is also honestly the only woman to ever achieve that reference. And though Joanna (and known for navigating altogether different small-town treasures) (CSDS and HBO's 'Bok) makes Nancy her own person, the film doesn't give enough insight into her own path outside of the one Tony is hastily laying down the line.

The screenplay — penned by writing ریاضی's Sodi Karrels and Lou Howe before Johnson dig into it with his long-time pro- vision and co-writer Matthew Miller — also briefly receives into unintentionally toward the end, with deep and painful emotional resumts too quickly healed by a commutant plot above that we'll call Charles's (Australia).

Some of the film's influences, though, when stacked against the film's characters, the more stylizat- and the easy but by no means com- pile rhythm, finishing with both long-term and long-term. Matt is, almost Carl Lobb and Robert Hudson's company (as Niche- rol — and such imaginative new co-competence — as director of photography Michael Rautman (Che Kettle after Another), John- son creates a world that bridges the time—the attention of his ear- lier world with the richness of one perfect summer Hollywood cine- mo.

This tension between the scrappers—most of Johnson's just and the particularly gloo- ner routes of his future first—is noted up in a drive-in double bill that Tony and Sal take in one crowling. There is Steven Spul- berg's also, the prototype of American blockbuster filmmak- ing, but also Tucker City, a chea- pe exploitation. Rick that Charles Bronson made before David Watt scrupulous him into slightly more reputable jigs. Which way should Johnson go? Well, as the two-for-one screening suggests, who out-hold?

To bring it back to the food, as Bourdain might perish, the world is now ready to start. Any ex- secuted that he can crack it op- ocably may be like:

The Rivals of Amiziah King CLASSIFICATION: N/A, 111 MINUTES

CRITIC | PICK

About a third of the way through winter director Andrew Patter- son's masterly entertaining new film, The Rivals of Amiziah King, its title character, a why Oklahoma be- keepers who could only be played by Mat- thor McConaughey, introduces his now- grown foster daughter Karen (Angelina Jackson) to create an eclectic topography of the local church potluck. Every steam tray and cooler, outside points out, is fit- led with ingredients carrying their own history and theories, and even if such is a good, no matter how the next plot them all that in a single plate and you've got yourself a surprisingly delicious meal.

Patterson's film is pretty much the same, a cinematic battle of all-year-can- out messaging that adds up to one tasty dale. In once a two-spring musical, a series of musicals, a jaw-dropping dark comedy and a hard-knock revenge flick, The Rivals of Amiziah King is a Southern- third delight, without ever being soft in- dulguably glamorous.

It is a challenge to detail the plot for two reasons. One wrong move and you'll stand in across, and then spoil, the many narrative highways that Patterson has had down. But more importantly, the film is just so drag unpredictable that any at- tment to pinpoint and manage its story and its appeal. The plot is which it was made. Mostly, you should know that the film focuses on the many plights of Am- iziah, who is roped into a police investiga-

tion involving stolen barrels of honey, and what happens when Karen walks back in to his life after years of separation.

Patterson, whose inventive own 1919 drama The Van of Nghe addressed Spul- bergian integer on an ultralow budget, obviously seems a result for the film- makers he banged as a child. Here, it's the Corn brothers leading the way: There is as much it Brother, Where Art Thou? there as there is Purge and The Pig (chronic) especially in across where bandits and bumps collide. But the Oklahoma-based filmmaker still takes pains to create a heightened world all his own, filled with bundling. If sympathetic says and but tantly avoided businessmen (the latter presumited by a delightfully sliced) Kurt Russell:

'Would any of it work without the calm- ity (have process) of McConaughey? Nor- be, maybe not. But the fact is that Pat- terson managed to secure him as the car- ter of the particular takeover, and the last defeers his boat, big-screen performance on a long while. (McConaughey also, one scientifically, defeers his second film in a

When Patterson's The Van of Nghe slipped onto Prima Video during the think of the pandemic, it wasn't bynoxical to worry that the filmmaker's career would become a victim of the increasing news never able to access the higher budgets and talent he deserved. The fact that The Rivals of Amiziah King even states dol- les that timid down, though it's also getting abandoned into a late-summer diet filled with an unusually large number of high tier competition (Jane Schoenbach's Tom- age (as an Enoch of Co-op Women, Matt Johnson's Tony), all lighting to stand out from higher than's multiples discussing shadow.

It's rarely wrong. It's one of the most annoying qualities.

I am a thousand girl married to a friend, and he is more. I have been watching my husband move through the world as a poor that baffles and occasionally makes me want to scream in to a pillow. He is not always on time, but he is only on a family trip to the rush breakfast. He doesn't rush bedtime. He's genuinely, constitutionally, unbelieved by the next "thing" because he is honestly too busy enjoying the people right in front of him to worry about it.

I have either found, am a prisoner, a thorough, dental-oriented, what's the backup plan, plaster. We are different people. But opposites attract, don't they?

For my summer we travel to Denmark – to the north coast to visit my in-laws – to the small town of Løbskøp where he spent his childhood weekends with cousins. Now we bring our two soldiers, only at months apart, which means we travel with approximately the same amount of luggage as a tourney rush hand. Every summer, I arrive slightly unhinged from the journey, already mentally planning the week of activities ahead.

Every summer, my husband looks at me with the same patient expression and gives me a big deal without saying anything at all. This summer, some thing shifted in me.

It happened on a Tuesday – or maybe a Wednesday, I don't know, which is a bit alarming in my home like my son. They on the retreat of my in-laws' house watching the sea. Our older son was running between our cabin and the counter. house next door, hardrest, filthy, delirious with happiness. Our

youngest, just a way being passed between usets and grandparents like the world's most beloved parent. Someone had appeared with a guitar (usually my father-in-law). Someone else had produced over from nowhere (usually my husband), which is my favourite kind of soul. Nobody had planned any of this.

I caught myself asking my cousin's wife one afternoon, "What's the plan?"

nothing. She didn't really so. Kitevert boards lay on the beach, bathing something off the back of chairs. Stones nailed out on the breakfast table from a game that he happened, so was always to happen, or maybe both. Asked: children can

in one door and out the other, sandy bars bottoms and extremalves in hand. The plan was the scene in front of us. What was not to like?

Children hurt me out a logistical problem to be managed – they are simply part of the group. They ran. Adults watch, loosely, collectively, without keeping your. If you want to slip off the terms, you can't do that. Now, better than they – lead in the best possible way, doing exactly what children are supposed to do.

For a mother who usually schedules our toddlers' Saturday with gymnastics,

soccer and then a play date, this is quietly radical.

We are told to believe good parenting is attention parenting. Present, engaged, stimulating. We sign up for entertaining lessons and music classes and worry, constantly that we are somehow not enough. Nice, nobody is being to be enough. They are just here.

The Danes have a word for it: narrow. Genuine presence – not mindful/non as a wellness trend, but as a quiet cultural as a regular. You are too somewhere else in your head. You are not planning the next thing. You are simply when you are, with who you are with, and that is not just enough – it is everything.

On that Tuesday – or Wednesday – watching our son came to put me chasing a cow on twice his son. I felt it. Not as a concept, it is a physical thing, a loosening somewhere in my chest. I hadn't realized was right. I didn't plan that moment. I didn't optimize for it. I just stopped long enough for it to happen.

We stayed two weeks. I swam in the cold sea every morning. I can fresh kids with the harbour and friends elsewhere from a farm stand and let both children stay up for no time because the sun doesn't set until nearly it and nobody seemed remotely concerned. I lost track of the days entirely.

On me last morning my husband made coffee and we sat on the terrace and watched the kids play and he didn't say anything, which is very thanks, and I didn't say anything either. Mentally I was pushing the huge.

But just for a moment – our small, genuine, unscheduled moment – I wasn't rushing.

Nervan. I thought, so that's what you meant.

Oak Street:

No shortage of wildly entertaining dino attacks

■ FROM ALL

The story is simple, even though its main characters are constantly confused. One day do rain, a few blocks of sleep: Anywhere, America, are continually transported through time and space by the Monzoic Era. Why and how? Who spent Certainly on Mitchell, who is nightfully famous concerned with staging and conceiving giddy, wildly entertaining dino attacks.

Of course, all the spectacular daughter – which pushes the PC third further than Mitchell's most common tomboares. Seven highlights, did back in the tables with 'Empty of Room' – wouldn't mean much of we didn't care about who might be getting disrupted.

And so Mitchell, who previously mined HANABI characters with games coming in the first home of the 1980s, comes the action around the First Family. Mother Terrier (Anne Hathaway) is a hopeful novelist on the verge of devouring her crafting product husband. Greg (Anne Hathaway) while where Brian (Anne Conover) and his older sister Audrey (Amya Yellin) try to seek comfort where they can.

Unfortunately for the Flints, there's no time for family therapy once their entire community is overrun by dinosaurs, which are picking off their neighbours faster and fences than any creature found in human Park. Scratch that, the more apt predecessors to The End of Oak Street might actually be. Each hunter's position opening to his area shows of the final climate, in which rampaging sunshine destroyed the American Dream of suburbs with one similarly quick, bloody swoop.

Whatever cinematic influences helped Mitchell feel his way to Oak Street, though, there is no denying the fifteenth of a year for keeping things as efficient and entertaining as possible. Even the most cynical, unprol-illosaurus viewer will be forced to scream and drink during a sequence involving, in no particular order, a shredded Hathaway, a kitchen knife and a dinosaur that scrambles a domestic cross between Kamey and that giant Rocky snake from Harry Potter. Life, as always, finds a way.

The End of Oak Street opens in Peatree, Friday.

What would you bid now?

1. Four overcanny. Slam in a near certainty - you have 17 high-card points instead of the 15 you might have had for your best two bids, and strong trumps. The chief purpose of the Blackwood bid is to cover the

possibility that partner has no aces. You plan to bid six clubs if partner shows either one or two aces.

Alternatively, you could bid six clubs over four, which is a less scientific but more definitive choice. This would not bar partner from going on to a grand slam if he has the ace of spades, a 6 of hearts and long of clubs.

2. Fuse. You've made two slam trips, and partner has turned a deaf ear to both of them. If you have faith in partner, you must pass, as you have no values beyond those you've already ex-

pressed. You should assume that he is an anxious to reach a slam as you are, and his two discouraging orhids make it clear that there is only a game in the combined hands.

3. Four hearts. Obviously, partner has a skimps opening bid and a lot of hearts. But just as obviously, your hand is too good to justify a less-than-game contract, so the only problem is to find the best spot.

With partner having bid hearts there times, indicating at least six or seven of them, your # 5 constitutes adequate trump

support. You could bid three overcanny, but four hearts rates to be a safer contract.

Trade: LeBlanc vows to have 'as many meetings as it takes' with U.S. counterparts

© PRISM A1

As The Globe and Wall has previously reported the proposal currently under discussion would entail the U.S. industry—but not eliminating—Mr. Trump's tariffs on sales, decil and aluminum in the market. The tobacco growing has a long list of American demands.

One of these is that Canadian provinces drop their bans on U.S. lepers and buy Canadian policies, both of which were introduced to retailers against Mr. Trump's tariffs. The number of Asian Canada completely lift its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. sales to exchange for Washington reducing its lyrion on Canadian made a jet.

The price of tariffs is against the latter demand Thursday.

“We have to match tariff for tariff. We can't negotiate through weakness. They can't put tariffs on our autos and we're not putting tariffs on them,” he said. Mr. Ford has no control over the

retaliatory auto tariffs, which were imposed by Ottawa.

On Thursday afternoon, Dominic LeBlanc, the Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, and James Chavette, Canada's chief negotiator, met with U.S. Trade Representative Lemoine Lowe at his office near the White House for an hour and a half.

“It's always positive to work with the Americans in the interest of Canadians,” Mr. LeBlanc said on his way in. On his way out, he added, “We're going to have an extra meeting as it takes.”

It was their second stridحه this week and their fourth in less than a month. The two countries exchanged written negotiating returns at a previous, local drug meeting Tuesday, and Mr. LeBlanc and Ms. Chavette have since been bankered down with their officials at the Canadian embassy.

Mr. LeBlanc's office said he was expected to remain in the U.S.

capital Friday. Mr. Greer is scheduled to attend the Iowa State Fair. Ms. Chavette has been encouraged semi-pressurized in Washington with her team.

Last year, Mr. Trump imposed tariffs of 50 per cent on steel and aluminum, 25 per cent on soles and between 10 per cent and 15 per cent on various forest products under Section 350 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1978.

The current negotiations are aimed at getting these reduced as well as stopping Mr. Trump from making good on the threat of another suite of tariffs he announced last month. They would entail 50 per cent levies on 1500 to 800m worth of Canadian aluminum equipment, 25 per cent, dairy and other products and are set to be imposed long to under Section 350 of the Introduction Tariff Act of 1978.

Ms. Chavette told Mr. Greer last week that, if the latest tariffs come into effect, negotiations

would come to a halt and Canada would be forced to retaliate.

Among provincial leaders, Mr. Ford, British Columbia Premier David Dye and Manitoba Premier Nick Kinner have been Mr. Trump's loudest critics. Last month, after the President made his latest tariff threat, Mr. Dye vowed: “There is not a chance to halt that it's alcohol is going back on the shift in British Columbia.”

Although U.S. alcohol represents a tiny piece of the Canada's outstanding relationship, the retaliation seems to have particularly inspired the White House.

Like Mr. Ford, Mr. Kinner left the first open this week to work on the issue of the deal struck in Washington in good enough. At a Wednesday news conference in Winnipeg, he said that removing U.S. alcohol from some declines has been "very effective" and has "clearly gotten the attention of the American administration."

“Whether or not that deal actually happens, I don't know. We're willing to be there, should we be considering with Team Canada, and if there's a deal that benefits our country, benefits our province, that involves putting it to house back on the shelves, then we'll go along with the rest of the country,” Mr. Kinner said.

Mr. Ford said Thursday that he had spoken at length with Mr. LeBlanc about the negotiations. He also repeatedly criticized Mr. Trump saying, “He does not care for and calling on U.S. voters to punish him in the half’s uniform congressional elections.

“My message to the Americans: A tariff on Canada is a too much American people. They're feeling the pain. As we saw last month, they didn't have any job creation,” he said. “My message to the American people. Because, for when it comes to the mid-term, you have to get that bully and send him the message.”

Turkeys: We're definitely seeing more and more" of the birds, TRC's manager, and

© PRISM A1

Turkeys were once common in what is now Ontario, before people instead them out of existence. Little more than a century ago that one of the most successful international programs in Canadian history has brought the provincial population grinning back to life, such that they're now poised to reclaim the capital.

"We're definitely seeing more and more" turkeys over time," said Karen McDonald, senior manager of corporate management at the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

The turkey's range and population are likely greater today than in its provincial hospital, say within 40,000, and 1,000,000 numbers continue to grow, pushing intraurban centers.

The last native Ontario turkey was killed in the early 1950s. For decades afterward, biologists tried to introduce captivity-raised birds. But the chicks would appear on their base as a grow and never have viral survival skills, rendering them oblivious to hawks, sources, coexists and otherwise predators, according to critical provincial Bulldogs' bare food.

In the 1960s, American researchers developed a cannon-propelled rat that allowed them to capture groups of live wild turkeys and successful reminding efforts began across the United States.

Dave Anthony, an avian sociologist at the University of Western Ontario, encountered the interrelated turkey populations in the U.S. during a hunting trip and, in 1963, persuaded the province to launch its own program.

Provincial authorities eventually traded their own Michigan, two counties, Missouri and partridges to New York — in return for 25,000 turkeys.

Mr. Reid co-ordinated some of the releases, often bringing his kids along.

"Remember! didn't like it," said his son, Garrett Reid, creator of WAT Turkey One, in a popular office and collection of social media accounts devoted to telling the rations-factors story.

"You had to worry about this so-pound bird knocking you over. But I eventually came to appreciate it, and I've been a tur-

key hunter my whole life."

Today, there are around 1000,000 turkeys and 10,000 turkey hunters in Ontario, according to the province. Generally, only about one in these hunters actually bags a bird in any given season.

The species typically congregates in farmers' fields, more meadows and woodlots, and fern hicks, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto and Trent University who has studied wild turkeys populations. But as their rural bulldogs get disturbed and developed, they send them move into urban areas, where they have developed a proponent for food factors.

"Turkeys are very routine and consistent in their behaviour, which means that

once they find a food source that they deem to be reliable and safe, like a back-suit bird436, they are likely to continue to visit, especially during the winter months, when natural food sources are more difficult to access," Dr. Katz said.

Around the time of Mr. McGill's encounter, neighbourhood group share on Toronto's west side were fighting up with other sightings.

Commenters on one photo debated whether it was Wilbur or a Wilms, Bethately a Wilms.

The appearance tended to neighbour a old corridor. People discussed that Wilms and company wouldn't through vegetation shutting the rail lines, using the same route to access Toronto as tens of thou-

sands of human commuters. They can fly, but rarely move than a couple hundred yards into the nearest text, where they tend to roost at night.

More importantly to Mr. McGill, the turkeys have provided people to talk about the unapproached natural world that envelope Canada's largest city. They are making up from places, making eye contact. He often takes during a among abandoned properties in the city, where nothing seems to produce our hot words and broken bodies, just to start of at the scrappy species that throw at the margins.

“We take everything from them and they still survive,” he says. “That's my takeaway from all this: the absolute resilience and adaptability of nature.”

Grifols: New Health Canada report details operational problems at Winnipeg site

© PRISM A1

Territory increased after the death of Bushy at Alzheek, a 23-year-old university student in Winnipeg, who died last October after donating plasma at the Taylor Avenue location in the city. Another plasma donor who used a different Grifols' vision in Winnipeg on Innovation Drive died in January. The details of that incident have not been revealed. Both deaths were not made public until media reported on them in November.

In the following months, The Globe revealed more details of the concerns identified by Health Canada inspectors, such as Grifols staff not properly responding to alarms on donation machines or some donors being unappropriately found eligible to donate despite carrying disease risk.

A new Health Canada report, released publicly Thursday, detailed the findings of an unannounced ban in inspection of the 1967-68 census, during the several operational problems were identified. Among the reductions were improper record keeping, insufficient maintenance of critical equipment and inaccurate assessment of donor outridelity.

The report said some operating procedures were incomplete and "not always followed." Additionally, Health Canada said Grifols did not thoroughly investigate some "errors and accidents" in a 2000-2010 period, with the need and preventative actions when required.

According to the senior official, Health Canada sent two letters to Grifols last month regarding that the company (an immediate action to address regulatory deficiencies, including at its Taylor Avenue location, but is far less relevant).

Emilie Guaudchen-Campbell, a spokesperson for Health Minister Stephen Michel, confirmed in a statement on

A Grifols plasma donation centre is seen in Whiting, Ont. The company maintains that donor safety and the quality of the plasma it has collected have "never been compromised." (caption: Chavette/GOV/GOAL AND NOT.)

Thursday that Health Canada issued a formal warning to Grifols after identifying several compliance concerns.

Canadians have been able to come first, and we welcome Grifols' decision to temporarily close to plasma collection sites," she said. "Health Canada will continue to work collaboratively with Grifols to ensure these concerns are addressed before any plasma collection sites can be renamed."

Ms. Guaudchen-Campbell said there is no impact on the safety and security of Canada's blood supply.

Grifols maintains that donor safety and the quality of the plasma collected have "never been compromised." The company said it is at the disposal of Health Canada and hopes to resume operations as

soon as possible.

Kat Lanteque, a patient advocate whom Mr. Alzheek's family have asked to make his first visit, said, "I think he's not just 'incapable,' of following regulatory safety laws.

Ms. Lanteque said Grifols has "put down" and can blood system in haste's way repeatedly.

Operations remain about the investigations into Mr. Alzheek's death. A medical summary prepared by an unnamed Health Canada staff, which was released last year, said her death was "temporally coincident" with the plasma donation, but not caused by it. It also noted that staff

training and emergency response at the site were compliant with applicable standard operating procedures.

But an earlier report written by Health Canada inspectors in December found deficiencies at the Winnipeg collection site, such as staff not terminating Mr. Alzheek's donation after the machine she was hooked up to displayed multiple alerts related to blood pressure and blood flow.

Health Canada previously said that it has records of 25 "serious adverse reactions" from plasma donation since 2005, which would include deaths, hospitalizations and significant disability. Two were from donors at Quebec's non-profit collector, Rema-Québec, while in involved donors at commercial plasma donors, all of which are now owned by Grifols.

Ontario unveils framework for data centres as some cities push for bans

JOE CASTALIO

The Ontario government said it is developing a framework for new data centres to deal with an influx of proposals that are causing some municipalities to consider temporary bans on constructing these facilities.

Premier Doug Ford said on Thursday that the government will encourage developers to build their own power-generative facilities rather than rely on the goal, and is proposing to establish a separate electricity rate for large projects.

New data centres that consume more than one megarent would have to pay a higher rate than other large industrial users. That threshold is low enough to capture essentially every new data centre equipped for artificial intelligence.

Mr Ford also said that developments will have to benefit local economies and adhere to environmental standards related to water consumption and noise.

The question is, what are the benefits you're bringing to the community? Mr Ford said at a news conference in Guelph, Ont.

Some parts of Canada have seen a wave of data-centre proposals in the past few years as demand soars for building and running AI models. Unlike data centres for cloud computing and life storage, AI facilities can consume enormous amounts of electricity, and Ontario does not have an abundance of spare capacity. © DATA CENTRES, 04

Japan's surging bond yields a concern for investors, analysts warn

ANDREW GALBRAITH

A rise in Japanese government bond yields and the related shifting making of foreign holders of U.S. government debt could have a far-reaching impact with implications for Canadian investors, analysts say.

For decades, low interest rates in Japan forced Japanese insurers and pensions to look overseas for higher yielding assets – mostly U.S. Treasury securities – to match their long-term liabilities. Now, life-life expectations of Japanese economic growth and the return of inflation after decades of falling prices, as well as concerns over rising public debt levels, yields on the country's government bonds are increasingly attractive for its long-term investors.

That has the potential to convert a stable, less cost-conceived buyer from the U.S. Treasury market, said Tiago Espartolda, a macro strategist at Desjardins, pushing global bond yields higher and boosting market volatility. Higher benchmark bond rates could raise the costs of Canadian mortgages, but some investors say they could disobligate the advantages of Canadian stocks.

"Government's income of U.S. Treasuries is becoming a bit more price sensitive and that should result in a higher term premium," Mr. Espartolda said, referring to the additional compensation revenues demand for holding weight in the U.S. "Canada is not immense to that effect."

Canada seeks precision drone-strike system widely used in Ukraine war

PIPPA NORMAN FRANCHESTED REPORTER

Canada is moving quickly to secure a long-range strike system that has proved effective in the war in Ukraine, putting much of the country's evolving defence procurement strategy to the test.

The deep-precision strike (DPS) system that Canada is looking to buy from another country initially, and later develop in-house, is somewhere between a long-range one way attack drone and a crater missile.

It's a mode of attack that several North Atlantic Treaty Organization members, including Canada, have identified an urgent need for based upon observations

from the war in Ukraine. Germany and Norway are among the countries with companies leading to this field.

"The nature through which this war is being prosecuted in Ukraine is indicating we need this kind of deep-precision strike system. That our adversaries have them in their possession. That they are working to improve them. That this is an area we can't let slip," Defense Minister David McGainly said in an interview.

The procurement, and subsequent development, of a DPS system in Canada over the next couple of years will be among the first tests of changes the federal government has put forth to improve its historically shaggy bureaucratic processes when it comes to defence purchases.

These types of guided munitions are being used by both sides in the war to take out high-value targets away from the front lines.

For example, recent reports detail Rye's use of long-range drones to hit warehouses and oil refineries in Russia more than 2,000 kilometers from Ukraine. The increasing use of drones in place of expensive legacy systems for these types of deep strikes means they can be carried out at low cost.

"If we need any more evidence about the pace of change in technology, all we need to do is look at the theatre of war there," Mr. McGainly said, referencing Ukraine and his conversation on Tuesday with the country's Defense Minister. © ORDERS, 07

Prediction-market bets on company results raise fears of insider trading

ALEXANDRA FOSADESI FINANCIAL AND CYBERCRIME REPORTER

fetting on the fortunes of Canadian companies isn't just for shareholders anymore.

The recent launch of prediction markets in Canada is creating new ways for people to gamble on various data points that public companies routinely disclose.

Screlling through Wealthsimple Inc.'s recently launched prediction markets to vash bets about the comparable store sales that Dollarzone Inc., Indian Cos Ltd. and Labalemon Athletics Inc. will report for the second quarter about the Canada's passenger load factor for the quarter, and about Shopify Inc.'s gross merchandise volume for the fiscal year, among others.

"These would be very attractive bets for someone who might have that information ahead of time," said Gregory Slogan, a partner in the capital markets group at Cassels Stock & Blackwell LLP.

The advent of prediction markets is introducing a new grey zone into Canada's capital markets, according to securities

experts, creating a temptation for insiders to profit from their access to non-public information.

Lawyers caution that Canada's insider-trading laws were not designed to tackle the messes of confidential information by users betting on markets such as Wealthsimple Prodat or Forecast Contracts, the platform operated by Interactive Brokers Group Inc.

"The insider-trading laws in Canada were built for a different world. They weren't built for prediction markets," said Adam Garrison, a partner at Cowling W3C, and the leader of the Interis blockchain and digital assets group.

Canadian regulators don't permit prediction-market betting on political or entertainment events. But users of Wealthsimple Prodat can place wagers on economic data points such as Bank of Canada: rates and home sale statistics, in addition to the many corporate event contracts. Those trying to predict Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd.'s comparable mornades for the second quarter could bet on figures ranging from above 2.5 per cent to above 2.5 per cent decline. © RETTING, 04

Putting America's staggering federal debt load in a perspective Canadians can understand

Interest costs on the U.S. federal debt relative to Canada's total federal debt

— U.S. interest expense on federal debt (12-month rolling sum) — Canada's federal debt in U.S. dollars

Canadian debt is an annualized deficit from Fiscal Months compared to a year-life basis and converted to U.S. dollars based on average monthly earnings after THE GLOBAL AND NAIL, SOURCE: U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, TRAVATE CANADA

With the U.S. spending like gangbusters and borrowing costs edging higher, the U.S. Treasury's latest debt statement cannot a startling conclusion. The country shifted out close to US$6.4 million over the past 12 months solely on interest payments, an amount nearly on pay with the annual federal bill for Social Security.

A sum that can't can be hard to grasp, but here's one way to think about it: In just one year, the U.S. now spends enough on interest costs to pay off Canada's entire federal debt's 1 times over—not that the U.S. is in a position to be biding anyone else out.

It's obviously not an apple to apple comparison, with one measure being the total amount owed by Canada and the other the money forbid out to U.S. bond holders in interest payments.

But the contrast illustrates the scale of how much the U.S. government must spend to service its nearly 70kgs million debt load, and the extent to which the two countries' fiscal pictures have diverged.

To be clear, Canada's own interest burden has urged to be wide of the juxtaposing peak and the higher interest rates that followed. Canada's federal government spent roughly $4.6 billion over the past 12 months servicing its debt, more than double the annual amount in 2016 and roughly equal to (Ntimes) health transfers to the provinces.

But relative to federal revenues, interest accounted for about 1/2 per cent in the first quarter, according to Statistics Canada, up modestly from a 1 per cent in 2016. In the U.S., interest charges consumed a 1 per cent of every dollar Washington took in, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, and that share is projected to keep rising to 20 per cent by 2016—the steepest interest cost burden since the early 1990s.

H&R CEO to buy properties to smooth way for takeover

Deal with GO Residential RST is expected to close by year end

ANDREW WILLIS

H&R Real Estate Investment Trust chief executive officer Tom Hofstetter is buying approximately 8.4% million of properties from the Toronto-based company he founded in years ago to pave the way for a $2.4-billion takeover.

On a conference call with executive on Thursday, Mr. Hofstetter decided the role in the planned purchase of H&R by a consortium led by retail New York-based GO Residential Real Estate Investment Trust, which was announced on Tuesday.

Mr. Hofstetter plans to sell his family's 4.4 million H&R units back to the company prior to the GO takeover, a stake worth $100 million at the current price of the RST's units.

The Hofstetter family's holding company, called CRAL, will then commit $10-million to "income supports and other payments to GO" over the next two years. The rest of the money will be used to purchase H&R real estate that other buyers don't want, including undeveloped land and office properties.

CRAL will also remain a joint venture partner with GO on a high-end development in Miami called River Landing. The project opened in 2016 and features job rental units and a marina along with restaurants, retail outlets and office buildings.

Mr. Hofstetter said his family company's support was essential to finding a buyer for H&R after a lengthy search for status.

Unlike most RSTs, which specialties in one real estate sector, H&R owns a retail bag of properties across North America that include high end apartments, warehouses and office buildings. In recent years, units in the RST loaded at a significant discount to the valuation of pure play real estate prices.

Two years ago, H&R's trustees launched a strategic review that included a potential sale of the company: On Thursday, Mr. Hofstetter said "At the end of the day, there is no sale until single buyer for a portfolio of this breadth and complexity."

The proposed sale will see GO acquire H&R and get control of its residential properties in New York and sunked place such as Miami, Dallas and Charlotte, plus a stake in a New York office tower.

GO CEO Joshua Goldit will run the combined company, which is shared by Nezer Oshack, who is also co-owner of the NRA's Minnesota Timberworms. Mr. Goldit said, "As Oshack—then outside make up the U and D in GO—founded the RST in 2016 by purchasing apartment buildings in New York and took it public in 2016 on the Toronto Stock Exchange."

GO will pay $4.48 in cash plus capital of its own units for each H&R unit, an offer the buyer valued at $11.1 and it then takeover is approved by investors on both RSTs. H&R unit holders will save 30 a 1 per cent of the combined company.

U.S. private equity giant Blackstone Inc. plans to purchase some of H&R's industrial properties, a collection of warehouses used by companies such as Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd., Snyco Country Canada Inc. and Caterpillar heavy machinery RSTs including International Inc.

Two institutional fund managers, Cretpoint Real Estate Investment Ltd. and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board, will buy the other 10 per cent of H&R industrial buildings outside acquired as part of a partnership struck between the three parties in 2016.

"Each partner was selected because they are the right buyer for their specific price," Mr. Hofstetter said, adding CRAL was the best hit for "the non-core assets that require a long-term, private market orientation."

Mr. Hofstetter will have no role in GO if the transaction is approved. The takeover is expected to close by the end of the year.

Last year, H&R paid Mr. Hofstetter $4.5 million, compensation made up of $1.6 million salary, a $2.5 million bonus and $0.6 million in unit-based awards.

CRIC and National Bank advised H&R and its trustees on the sale and said the GO offer is fair to unethicalize, LP Morgan Securities LLC advised GO on the purchase while BND Capital Markets worked with CRAL.

Several other residential-focused RSTs have been taken over in the past year in transactions backed by their founders.

The purchase of Minto Apartment RST by Ottenco, something family and Cretpoint for $1.2-billion was except "a complete, while Interfered RST was acquired for $1-billion by its executive chair, Mike McGahan, with the backing of Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC.

Canadian Tire puts higher profit, bets on data to drive growth

Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. is increasingly leaning on analytics and new technology to find growth as itself threats the Middle Eastern war and rising costs continue to exploit customers.

The retailer, which also owns SportChek, Mark's and Party City, has been working with software giant Microsoft to develop Mosaic, a new customer shopping platform.

The technology turns data from hundreds of millions of customer transactions and from the company's Triumph Insight program into insights. Canadian Tire can use to better predict consumer needs. Based on what it concerns, the company can then introduce new product categories, break pricing and improve its inventory management and marketing.

Now, as back to school mean and the holiday season (this also is the platform and the company's other artificial intelligence tools are "ready for prime time," Canadian Tire chief executive Greg Hicks said Thursday.

"Tradition, we know that the recent buying smokers also needs crayons and some jeans. We know that the full morning we to a dorm wants a laptop, a fan, furniture and a lovable, and

analysts on a conference call. "We know how to serve them in each of our business, but we now have detailed plans to solve most of their back-to-school needs."

For customers, these detailed plans will show up in some recent price reductions or merchandise like draining and storage essentials, but also in Canadian Tire filters, which will contain Mark's and SportChek marketing for the first time ever.

The back-to-school season will arrive in a year that hasn't been seen for Canadians.

"For a long while now, consumers have been being with the threat of trade wars and tariffs and managing the day-to-day pressure of higher food and gas prices," Mr. Hicks said.

When his company records looked at second-quarter spending among credit card holders, a board customers-dropping significantly more on gas than they did last year. The deal was likely a result of the Middle Eastern conflict, which has blocked a key food passageway, driving on gas prices.

That pressure was one of the many factors shaping Canadian Tire's second-quarter, which said all July 4 and produced a year-over-year rise in profits and revenue.

The retailer reported Thursday net income of $25.2-million or $1.95 a diluted share, up from $1.00m million or $1.95 a diluted share a year earlier.

On a normalized basis, it earned $2.94 a diluted share, up from a normalized profit of $1.95 a diluted share in the second quarter of 2016.

Revenue for the quarter totalled $4.30-billion, up from $4.30-billion a year earlier.

Canadian Tire delivered those numbers despite "soft" consumer treatment and "micro-operative" weather like a wet spring, Mr. Hicks said.

Some of the quarters' strength came from the FHA World Cup, which was partially floated in Toronto and Vancouver. Sales of items totalled to the recent tournament accounted for roughly half of SportChek's second-quarter sales growth. Montreal Canadians fast-wear sales also outstripped.

Overall, the company's comparable sales were up 10 per cent. Canadian Tire comparable sales still a year-2016 while SportChek comparable sales rose 9 per cent. Mark's comparable sales were up 4 per cent.

CLEVELAND (NY) BETS HAMMACK CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE RATE HIKES TO BRING U.S. IMPLICITED RACE TO TARGET

Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank president Beth Hammack on Thursday estimated her view that the U.S. central bank should raise zero immediately to bring down too high inflation and increase business growth and investments.

"When I'm talking to businesses, I hear that businesses are excited to raise funds. They're excited to borrow so they can continue to invest. They see the growth opportunities, which is great. I want them to continue to see growth opportunities, but if we have too much of that growth... it could mean that their running-able, broad pressure on growth, or ceases and that puts more of that inflationary pressure on them," Ms. Hammack said at the

Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce in Dayton, Ohio. "We need to make sure that we've got some amount of restraint coming from policy so that we can get inflation from this above 5 per cent number back to 2016 that 1 per cent of the 2016."

Ms. Hammack was one of three full-officals who dissented at the Ford morning last month against the majority who decided to keep short-term borrowing costs in their 1.4% to 5 per cent range. On Thursday she said that while the inflation date has improved over the past two months, that's not enough to convince the world from such, particularly when it has been more than five years since the Fed has hit its 2 per cent in-

flation target.

"I don't have confidence that we're going to continue to use that or that we're going to use them low enough that it's going to bring us back down to that 1 per cent," she said. "The job is to make sure that we are making progress towards that 1 per cent. And then the question is how quickly do we need to deliver on that 1 per cent objective and maybe we'd get there, but if it takes us another three or four years to get there, is that OK?"

One retailer in Cincinnati told her that they are raising prices "because they don't know where the next price increase is going to be. But if they know, it's coming from somewhere," she said.

The Middle East war cost CAFL 20 million of dollars in its latest quarter, as the company now plans a 'must year' that will not it do, could reduce its global how much as a bid is lower expenses, and chief executive Matthew Bromberg.

The CEO said analysts Thursday the conflict announced for two-thirds of a meeting, long as adjusted operating income in its cost solution segment, or more than 5x million.

The Middle East is causing the rupture in fuel prices around the world, and that's affecting some of our customers. "At Bromberg said on a conference call, adding that he views the earnings for as temporary."

"We're able to work with a lot of our airlines to elevate their training, to put them in other locations, but that has a cost as we move their training centres and sometimes instructors to other facilities."

On the end side - the larger of CAFL two main divisions, with defense accounting for 14 per cent of segment revenue - adjust all income decreased nearly 14 per cent year-over-year to about 2.6% million of the quarter under June 30, mainly owing to the Iran conflict.

Fearing an fuel costs caused by the closing of the fiscal of the year have pushed farm up and shipped away at broad demand, pushing contracts in dual factories - or potentially dangerous - routes and further dispensing the need for pilot training.

CAFL's share price has dropped about 14 per cent since the start of the year, falling in tandem with flight volumes and training demand.

The Bromberg plans to drastically reduce the flight simulator makers' global footprint by the end of the year as part of a broad or transformation plan, a process coordinated by the turmoil in the Persian Gulf.

He said the company will be habit a multibillion-dollar equars that within a few years, a reduction of 15 per cent. Some can cost square feet will be shed from the civil expense by the end of June. In and, marking a more rapid re-treatment than previously mentioned.

As part of the scaleback, the Montreal-based from will retire one-tenth of its full flight simul-

The company owns amid an overhead launched last fall that aims to bring down rent and to bear expenses from a worldwide network and jump up use of existing facilities.

While he said the company could lose some clients in the process, Mr. Bromberg expects to retain nearly all of its customer contracts as training shifts to off-of-Call site.

Cahn Reference, the former Air Canada CEO who serves as CAFL's executive chairman, announced Thursday he will step back to become "non-executive chairman of the board" in Jan.

"This reflects our confidence in that and the rest of the leadership team and their ability to drive CAFL's next chapter of growth and value creation," said Mr. Reference.

Mr. Bromberg took over from his predecessor Marc Farrell, who had occupied the CAFL's state since 2009, precisely one year ago.

On Wednesday evening, CAFL reported that first-quarter profits fell 40 per cent year-over-year to 5.6 million while revenue rose 7 per cent to 8.1 million.

Detroit automakers warn revisions to free-trade deal could cost them billions

MORA EIKERT WISE COLON

Detroit's automakers plan to argue to the Trump administration that its proposals for a revised North American trade deal could cost the companies' billions of dollars and hurt their competitiveness with foreign rivals.

The on computer use still struggling to absorb the bevy of tariffs the administration implemented last year, including levies on steel and aluminium, car parts and parts shipped at 30th Mexico and Canada, and say it can lower Japan, South Korea and Europe face lower tariff burdens.

Now, U.S. auto executives worry that U.S. proposals floated ahead of talks scheduled with Mexican trade officials next month could pick up costs even further. One of the most contentious points for automakers is Washington's demand that vehicles contain at least 10 per cent U.S. roads content to qualify for lower tariffs, as Reuters reported in May.

That requirement, as well as a proposal to increase overall North American vehicle content from the current 10 per cent (or 1), would add at least 10% of the tax on annual costs for each Detroit automaker, according to estimates at two automakers.

Those expenses would cover only costs the automakers already have been incurring from the various levies in place since last year.

The U.S. Trade Representative's office did not respond to the move to be the "sub-commutations officials have said their tariff moves have been made at spurring more U.S. factory invest-

ment and jobs. General Motors expects gross expenses related to tariffs to cost it 10% to $10m in 10% to $10m. The year, probably representing most than 10 per cent of its operating profit, Fred Motor has pagged in next tariff hit at about 10% billion this year.

The an approach signed by the White House of 81 commitment to make more can economically, Fred on Wednesday said it would move production of Lincoln models for the U.S. market to American factories from China, where the Trump administration's tariffs as a driving factor.

Fred CEO Jim Farley told Reuters on Wednesday that the company early on might have been unprepared for the administration's commitment to increasing U.S. auto production.

But Fred - which already holds a larger percentage of its U.S.-staff vehicles domestically than its Detroit rivals - got the message, he said.

"It favored on us very quickly. They look, we need to make some changes here," he said.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Edward Lamich, in a joint interview, said he is beyond most any initiative will follow the state's Ford and GM by moving factory work to the U.S.

"We worked together to get it right," Mr. Lamich added. U.S. and Mexican officials are planning a fourth round of trade talks next month. Canadian trade officials have been meeting with the U.S. contraption this week on an effort to avert another round of tariffs on Canada on the side effect next week.

The American Automotive Policy Council which represented, GM and Jeep-maker Steh-

lawin, referred Reuters to a June to statement saying that U.S. automakers are at a disadvantage in Japanese, South Korean and European countries who are part into the U.S. and face a flat 10 per cent tariff.

GM CEO Mary Davis said on a key earnings call that the company is focused on "making sure that the U.S. automakers are going to be able to make their own when we look at what the tariff rates are for European, the Japanese and the Korean."

The U.S. auto executive said Mr. Evans thinks that the bright deals with Korea and Japan because there are governments now able to advocate on behalf of their automakers as part of broader trade agreements focused on national security, whereas the U.S. air companies didn't have the same leverage.

"We don't have a president or a prime minister who can call up foreign on our behalf," the executive said.

U.S. automakers currently face a duty of about 10 per cent on imports from Mexico and Canada, but vehicles with busiest amounts of U.S. roads content get lower tariff bid.

GM told Reuters that vehicles that have significant U.S. and North American content should receive better treatment than we believe that do not," and added that the automakers is encouraged by the administration's progress on negotiations.

Stellants said it is encouraged by the talks and is working with the three governments "to ensure that we can build and sell affordable vehicles across the region."

U.S. Army Corps permits specification of Unbridge's Line 5 tunnel project in Straits of Mackinac

LAURA HERRENS JASPER K. MIKULIT KELLY MOORE

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has permitted construction of the controversial Line 5 tunnel project in the Straits of Mackinac.

The project, which would divert a section of the Line 5 post-column pipeline from the open waters of the Straits into a common tunnel beneath the cladron, is "not contrary to the public interest" and would not harm the final many rights, the Army Corps said in announcing its permit. Nevertheless, the Corps noted the project would have adverse effects on endangered species and archaeological sites, that it would contribute to "high costs impact of cladron loss" and have "long-term detrimental impacts on land use".

While the federal approval clears a big hurdle for the nearly decade of approval, don't expect there to be the ground any time won. The Michigan Supreme Court recently ordered a case of the "splendid" extension a separate set permit, the project remains tied up to state and federal court, and how lawsuits have been promised by opponents.

Will Line 5 secure Unbridge Energy preload Wednesday's decision?

The federal permit "appounds the highest standard of environmental review required for major critical energy and other infrastructure projects," Enbridge said in a written statement. "Line 5 is safe, Enbridge will continue operating line 5 solely and temporarily, incorporating enhanced safety measures in the Straits, and protecting Michigan's natural and cultural resources."

A combination of Native American tribes that has opposed the project, meanwhile, slammed the decision:

"Our federal government has a certain obligation to uphold and protect Treaty rights and is supposed to protect American waters and natural species," tearspring牺牲 by the Corps with the National American Rights Fund said in a statement. "Instead, the U.S. Army Corps has million-natured of standards of project that the nation's foreign agency and threatens to pollute the Great Lakes."

The tunnel project would likely "advocate after" thought of a goldened and desert lake, etc., which are listed as the natural resources under the federal Endangered Species Act, the Corps said, that that "reductions in the overall recovery, numbers, or distribution" are not expected after mitigated conflicts.

The project was a unbiased and uptrouble significant to the Antishuable tribal nations. The Corps noted there would be "major, permanent, adverse effects on historic properties, including archaeological sites" that the tribal nations said "cannot be mitigated."

The Corps' decision is in line with the Trump administration's proof of bolstering fossil fuel energy and preventing renewable energy development.

The approval of the Unbridge Line 5 Tunnel Project is a testament to President Trump's views to remain our nation's foreign mission. "And the state's forces are not only the Civil Works Adam Tish in an a-roaded statement: 'By cutting unneeded soil layer and overhauling our regulatory process to provide fuel, cities, and consistent decisions that implement our regulatory authorities (and on Congress intended, we are able to help prepare like this move forward with regulatory certainty.'"

David Belin, coalition co-ordinator for the group D&B Major Brett Wax said in an a-road that the Corps' decision was "directs by the Trump Administration's phone to manufacture go emergency."

He said the decision - which did not consider what would happen if the tunnel was not built and line 5 was discontinued - was reminiscent of the Michigan Public Service Commission's permit review that the Michigan Supreme Court recently said was erroneous. The court called the review overly narrow and said it failed to consider whether a would have public rights to the Great Lakes and that it failed to study whether a line 5 would limit them if the tunnel lost built.

On July 4, Michigan's adjustments of Natural Resources and Environment, Great Lakes and Energy issued two-horizon permits for the tunnel project, despite noting disruption to Native American burial sites and flamm to wetlands and rare species.

An Japan-based Enbridge is also seeking a permit to dislodge millions of gallons of treated waste water a day into Lake Michigan during tunnel construction. D&B is expected to rule on that by Sept. 30.

Meanwhile, the state is battling its court with Enbridge over Whitman's zone order to shut the existing pipeline down for low that it could cause an obligation the Straits' Antishuological Service's release. The state's decision is definitely to order a shutdown, but the state has appealed the ruling.

Separately, Michigan Attorney General Brian Brandt has sought a shutdown since 2016 in a case that has preapposed from state to federal court and back again.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Ontario Line woes are 100% province's fault

Premier's flagship spaced project in years behind schedule and $25 billion over budget

TOMY KELLER

OPINION

We're going to do it faster, better, cheaper. That was Ontario. Premier. Drug-Partie says, something like place for the Ontario Line.

The 4.0 billionaire transit goes to the 100% province and 0.6 milliones Toronto through the 40centers over, would save money by many smaller and lighter rolling stock than traditional subways, and building some of the line above ground. 50 would be up and running by 2027.

Cost: $0.02-billion

Seven years later, the price tag has hallowed to $1.8-billion, hereby cost $0.2-billion. The price is $0.2-billion, at least one major capital contract has yet to be awarded.

March last month, Newspapers on the 6th eight-year project, the line of 0.4.4.4 leases to 0.4.4.4 over from completion. Metrolites, the provincial government, the international planning and contracting with private builders, now are the line will be in service some time to the early 2030s.

Here's the most important

Metrolites president Michael Lindsay, Ontario Premier Drug-Part, and Prime Minister Mark Carney for a construction site for the Ontario Line, in Toronto last week, on to a current visit (enacted 1992)

number to keep in mind. $0.2-billion, a kilometre.

That's the current price for the Ontario Line.

Just down the road to Montreal. The friteau express million-dollars, or EEX, an automated light storm similar to the Ontario Line, is nearly complete – at a price of $0.2-billion a kilometre.

The EEX figure covers approximately 100% of the Ontario Line's budget also includes a contract for future operations. However, capital is the line's share of costs—an project—not an share.

Announced in 2015, the EEX has 6.4% of its planned kilometres in operation, and 2% of its

initial contract. The final cost, according to Quebec's auditor general, will be $0.2-billion.

EEX: $0.2-billion: a kilometre.

Ontario Line: $0.2-billion (and being) per kilometre.

Vancouver's Canada Line, which is also similar to the Ontario Line, was completed in 2020 for just over $1-billion. Its 2020 dollars, that's $0.2-billion a kilometre.

Ontario used to do fares, fares, cheaper. From the 1980s until the 1990s, Toronto built a new line around $10.0-billion a kilometre, adjusted for inflation, but the Sheppard Subway, completed

in 2020, cost roughly $0.02-billion a kilometre. The Line's subway extension to Vaughan, opened in 2017, pushed that to around $0.02-billion.

The province has nine taken over 40centers about what makes to build, where and how. That hasn't delivered efficiencies or savings.

For example, the Eglinton Crosstown, which was designed to be cheaper to operate and faster to build because its rolling stock is basically interstate and its trucks are mostly at street level, opened more than half a decade late, while costing more per kilometre than the subway to Vaughan.

When we had announced the Ontario Line, it was part of a package of transit projects, with a combined budget of $0.02-billion. The Ontario Line has now consumed every penny, and there are many.

The other projects are also late and new budget. For example, the Scarborough subway extension is not expected to open until 2020, while its cost has doubled to $0.02-billion.

Leaving 2020, the question is why this has happened, which must be put then funds around $0.02-billion if has happened. This also is linked.

Earlier this year, there was widespread public outrage when it was revealed that 2000-2010, 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050, 2060, 2070, 2080, 2090, 2100, 2110, 2120, 2130, 2140, 2150, 2160, 2170, 2180, 2190, 2200, 2210, 2220, 2230, 2240, 2250, 2260, 2270, 2280, 2290, 2300, 2310, 2320, 2330, 2340, 2350, 2360, 2370, 2380, 2390, 2400, 2410, 2420, 2430, 2440, 2450, 2460, 2470, 2480, 2490, 2500, 2510, 2520, 2530, 2540, 2550, 2560, 2570, 2580, 2590, 2600, 2610, 2620, 2630, 2640, 2650, 2660, 2670, 2680, 2690, 2700, 2710, 2720, 2730, 2740, 2750, 2760, 2770, 2780, 2790, 2800, 2810, 2820, 2830, 2840, 2850, 2860, 2870, 2880, 2890, 2900, 2910, 2920, 2930, 2940, 2950, 2960, 2970, 2980, 2990, 3000.

percent thousands of dollars. The slow-motion fusion in transit construction, which has consumed umpious billions of dollars, has been met with a shrug.

There's no arguing that the city badly made to build new public transit. The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area has grown to more than eight million people, those in the rest of the Greater Golden Reidsville, and it's more than to make it.

Speeding up travel cannot be done by adding more cars, or adding more fares to Highway 200. It can only be done with more, faster, better, cheaper transit.

Just a bad management and poor choices mean that the choices transit projects cost 100 percent to times as much as they should. How we're going to end up with over 40centers in transit we need 50 government a going to starve other priorities—health, education, pricing, whatever—to put for transit cost overcrowds.

If the Ontario Line were built in a EEX budget, Canada's $0.02-billion will be added to Ontario's $0.2-billion. The 2020-2030s, $0.2-billion, will be a return.

What happened to "faster, better, cheaper" Pacific{O}rcide? we'll find out.

Trump is the effort to unmask owners of U.S. shell companies

RICH TRUCKER

OPINION

Remember when U.S. President Donald Trump is the finished marketing as a person to slap emergency tariffs on Canada? Well, now Mr. Trump is handing drug smugglers a big gift.

The United States will stop unmasking the owners of American shell companies and destroy the data it has already collected about them – money that will make it easier for forward traffickers and other transnational users, such to launder duty money.

These permanent changes, announced by the Financial Center, Environment Network (FNCEN) that week, will also have improvements for Canada's law enforcement, border security and trade with the U.S.

The U.S. government, itself corporations are businesses that cost purely a paper as they lack legitimate operations. Criminals routinely exploit these corporate entities to launder their profit in because they can be used to access the handling system while halting their trust in them.

The Trump administration, however, argues that revealing the identities of the people controlling secret companies' needs can be highly useful" to policy. "I would, it is gaining the Corporate Transparency Act, which the U.S. Congress will have to do to control society, to help laundering.

Never mind that one of the law's chief architects was none other than Republican Naren Raltex, who now serves as a member of the State. Don't worry about it. "Little Naren" You're taking one for the heart!

The Corporate Transparency Act paved the way for a beneficial owner-drug database of millions of private businesses. It deflects it beneficial owner as a person who holds a credit of $1.2-billion per cent in a company or who has substantial control over it.

FNCEN, however, is now ending the requirement for U.S. companies to use a commercial software and paying off data about U.S. citizens who control domestic shells.

It gets worse, as it often does with the Trump administration.

Foreign companies will no longer be exposed to the law when U.S. materials are used to be used to control the corporation on their behalf. There will also be no way to know whether U.S. citizens control foreign product investment vehicles registered materials.

Foreign entities will still be required to report beneficial ownership information for international individuals. That double standard, though, ignores the side, paved by U.S. citizens who either register anonymous shell corporations or have own unknown purposes or do not have the right to use U.S. mail.

Of the more than 2.4 million private companies in the U.S., FNCEN estimated that only 25,000 were foreign reporting

companies in 2025. That is less than 0.3 per cent of the total.

An aim of the U.S. Treasury Department, FNCEN said the change in presidential administration in early 2020 led to a reassessment of the ownership reporting task.

The work, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Rossum called it "a victory for common sense" and would businesses alike.

"President Trump protested for a red tape," Mr. Rossum said, adding the changes won't compromise national security.

Raffaish. The rollback of U.S. safeguards will also make a easier for criminals to launder money internationally, said Erica Alzachida, an director of the FACT Coalition, a Washington-based law enforcement group.

"We're really concerned, particularly given the transnational threats that both the U.S. and Canada face with the strict trafficking and other issues, human trafficking, fraud and obnoxiness," Mr. Alzachida said. "I am sure now I can do if these citizens, anonymous shell companies and a huge role in moving the illicit proceeds."

A lack of beneficial ownership transparency in the U.S. will also make it "much harder" for policy in Canada to thwart national security threats, the task, adding that illicit funds move across borders.

In Canada, some 50 per cent of all money laundering came before the abuse of corporate entities, according to federal data.

The Center government is urging provinces and territories to join a pan-Canadian corporate registry. In good of improving beneficial ownership transparency was discussed at last month's meeting of finance ministers in Charlestown.

A beneficial ownership registry already exists for federally registered companies, but the vast majority of private businesses are incorporated at the provincial level.

Quite a bit, only provinces with an operational corporate registry (Other, including IC, and Ontario, are working on their own databases: 50B, a U.S. virtual could call others to get business provisions, etc.) there are no board.

50B, it would be naive for any province to emulate the IC to see this issue, said Sasha Caldera, campaign director of the "beneficial ownership project at IMPACT, an Ontario-based non-profit."

"If Canada since its in-line, the IC's will there are 50% of people who are only leverage to pay you on trade," Mr. Caldera said.

At five wanted in previous columns, the proliferation of trade-based money laundering could provide a new justification for tariffs.

That brings us back to Mr. Trump's forward-linked emergency tariffs, which were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year.

Mr. Trump's negative dissonances on combating the integrity of a foreign tort. His goal isn't fighting drug cartels. It's putting the scores on Canada on trade.

Data centres: Ontario's playbook will provide guidance on which projects go ahead

IF FROM B1

The Progressive Conservative government also ruled out providing financial incentives to encourage construction and said that developers will have to pay for any necessary state infrastructure, appraiser, frame measures, and ensure that no costs are passed to consumers. Mr. Ford said:

The province's data-centre playbook is meant to provide guidance on how it will decide which projects go ahead, and it has launched a 30-day public consultation before releasing a final version.

Some of the North commons reiterated what the government legislated within it introduced this as last year, which instituted changes for how data centres are connected to the grid.

The province previously entered equal access to the grid, regardless of a project's size or location. Bill as, however, requested that some large projects such as data centres meet criteria related to local economic benefits, job creation and digital sovereignty.

The government also established around what scale of data centre will fall under three provisions, said Lydia Djurdjovic, a lawyer with Meladity Nenault. A previous government proposal said the rules would apply to facilities of 30-day public education, and "there is no indication from the playbook as to what threshold is currently being considered."

The data centre market tends to be dominated by a large, large area, and Mr. Ford learned heavily into the importance of digital sovereignty on Thursday. "We want to have coverage data. We

don't want to rely on President Young getting his paws all over it," he said.

The province will also favour projects that use closed-loop cooling systems to minimise water use, and technology that reduces noise and captures water heat to warm empty buildings.

David Poling, director of the electricity program at the class, energy think tank, Hamilton Institute, said the province's approach is focused on the right priorities, such as environmental protection and community benefits. "Ontario's success will ultimately be measured by whether

it can prevent higher electricity rates and increased emissions at new power demand is brought onto the provincial grid," he said in a statement.

Ontario Liberal energy critic Ted Hsu said in the statement that the government's consultation can be made by the 'reclining' exercise. "If the government says centres will pay their own way, protest can pay more and deliver meaningful benefits to their communities, there it needs to show Ontarians how it will guarantee that," he said.

Marc Mendon, managing dr.

rector of data centre company Equates Canada, said in an e-mail that the framework is an 'important step forward,' and that it emphasizes the elements that are important for those projects to succeed, such as sustainable development and energy.

When the government introduced Bill as last year, hopeful data centre operators were seeking to connect to 6,500 magazines of electricity, how to 30 per cent of paid demand in the province. British Columbia and Quebec have been working to more carefully allocate scarce electricity, whereas Alberta has said that developers need to bring their own power generation on as not to obtain the grid or raise electricity prices.

At data centres have become more controversial in the past year, with some municipalities in Ontario implementing or considering temporary bans on new construction and the system to study the impacts. Residents in some communities have raised concerns about energy use, water consumption, noise and the tree economic benefits.

Galevils, Ont., introduced a new year of construction. This month, while council in Mississippi will vote on one in September. Meanwhile, Hamilton council voted against construction.

Mr. Ford criticized municipalities that have moved for bans. "I find it, I guess, hypnotized," he said. "You can't say, I don't want it in my backyard. I don't like any, we're going to use all that power and all the information and the data centres to run my community."

Betting: Insider-trading laws 'don't map neatly' onto prediction markets, expert says

IF FROM B1

Canadian Tire's actual results, which were released on Thursday, showed the company's comparable costs sales were up to 10 per cent from last year's second quarter.

The company's profit costs south of the border, where prediction markets have been around long, re, offer cautionary talks. In May, authorities secured a Google software engineer of profiting more than US$1,000,000,000 trading on confidential business information on Polymarket. That can followed charges against an American soldier accused of using classified intelligence to make more than US$100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Canada's insider-trading laws are framed around an insider-someone who has a special role in making with a company. "And so, we are not sure that we can't

"They don't map neatly onto recent-based contracts, where it's very important that a company is using an equity issue," he says on a visit.

However, lawyers say securities regulators could pursue certain legal avenues to prevent people from making bats on

event contracts based on non-public information.

"Securities regulators have been called a public-money power - basically a broad power to take action where there's activity in capital markets that's contrary to the public interest," said Evan Thomas, a Toronto-based lawyer advising birch clients.

"I would expect that a Canadian securities regulator, if they were looking at a case where someone in Canada was using material non-public information to trade in prediction markets, whether or not the insider-trading provision applies, they would say that's activity contrary to the public interest," he added.

Wealthsinnigle declined to provide an interview for this story, but in a recent white paper, it said three layers of surveillance prevent insider trading on its prediction market.

The company is subject to an in-money-laundering laws that require it to know who its clients are and to report suspicious transactions. The famous commission merchant that meets it met orders to Kalabi, the exchange that Wealthsinnigle purchased with for its platform, recently trading patterns and is obligated to escalate any improper patterns of detects its additions.

Kalabi conducts real-time market monitoring, enforcement and regulatory reporting.

The Canadian securities law, in its main interest, is an umbrella organization made up of provincial and territorial securities regulators, and event contracts can be considered securities, derivatives, or both, and anyone trading them must follow applicable rules, including prohibition against insider trading, market competition and other similar practices.

"Securities regulators will take enforcement action where they have identified a violation, including insider trading on the chart in the capital markets that is contrary to the public interest," spokesperson Rana Killeen said in a statement.

"And hence banks have been modifying employee codes of conduct to include rules around prediction-market betting, according to Reuters.

Employee codes of conduct typically already prohibit misusing a company's non-public information. Mr. Thomas said, however, companies may wish to update their policies to specifically mention prediction markets, he added. That way, they can claim they misunderstand if it's explicit, it puts people on notice."

Royal Bank of Canada said

employees who are subject to the bank's personal trading policies - those who have access to the bank's personal trading policies or another information because of their level or role - are barred from placing bats on prediction markets. The ban was continued under through an improper Bulletin, a bank spokesperson told The Globe and Mail in an e-mail.

Bank of Nova Scotia's personal trading policy prohibits employees from trading on prediction market platforms to specialize in financial markets, indexes or companies, a bank spokesperson said.

Bank of Montreal said its code of conduct addresses the use of non-public information, including as it relates to the bank and its clients.

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce declined to comment, while Toronto-Dominion Bank did not respond by publication into a "readable question about their prediction-market policies."

The Globe contacted several of the Canadian companies that said the subjects of recent bats on Wealthsinnigle ProBec.

On demand, Lothian and the Canada said their existing employee codes prohibit misusing or disclosing confidential information. A spokesperson for

Air Canada said the company regularly monitors the development of new trends and expands code to the bank.

Shopify said it has policies prohibiting its employees from using information obtained through their roles at the company's personal trade.

Canadian Tire and Lululemen did not respond to requests for comment.

The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) said investment dealers, including those offering prediction markets, are required to have policies and procedures in place to detect improper trading activity.

If prediction market activity raised insider trading concerns, CIRO's issues would be an insider the dealer had appropriate controls, supervision, monitoring, and compliance processes in place and whether it was its regulatory obligations," said Toronto, a spokesperson for the investment industry regulator, said in an e-mail.

Instruments whether someone who is in insider trading, as well as any enforcement action against them, would fail to the provincial securities regulator, she added.

Japan: Country remains single biggest holder of U.S. government debt

IF FROM B1

The U.S. to year yield stood at a 6 per cent on Thursday, up from 5.48 per cent at the end of February. The 20-year yield rose at 2.4 per cent, rising from a 6 per cent at the end of February, having recently reached 10-year highs.

Analysis say rising U.S. yields primarily reflect investors' assessments of continued U.S. economic crisis, a refillatory 10 percent linked to higher oil prices and longer-term fiscal and debt concerns. George Davis, chief technical manager at BEC Capital Markets, said the U.S. market response to questions that repatriation down funds to Japan had likely at 10 percent a role in pushing yields higher in recent months.

About 75 per cent to 80 per cent of the effect of rising U.S. prices on the 2017-2018 Canadian fiscal market, Mr. N. Jeanville said, "Turning some uniquely Canadian drive?"

Canada's 10-year yield reached 10.2 per cent on Wednesday, in highest level since May, 2016.

Foreign a shrinking share over the past several years, Japan remains the single biggest holder of U.S. government debt, with total Treasury security holdings opening up from 2.8 per cent in the last year. As according to U.S. Treasury data, that one above 2.8 per cent from the end of 2025.

Those jurisdictions, Mr. Papaniello said, are typically casually liable for investors such as hedge bonds with different investment locations compared to "sticky" and "not very volatile"

The move 'improved an incremental layer of uncertainty to markets,' Mr. Davis said.

dian equities at GBC Asset Management. "I would not serve in the 'old normal' period."

Still, the rise in yields could weigh on highly leveraged sectors such as technology utilities, R&D and telecoms, he said. That could provide a relative tailwind for Canadian stock indexes.

"If you look at the index composition of the US, versus the other, we will notice that more of that winner's bucket - the financial, energy and materials - and loss of the R&D's, utilities, and specifically technology and communication," Mr. Jennable said.

The Cause de dépôt et placement de Québec earned a 1.1 per cent return in the first half, including one of the fund's best six-month returns in the past decade.

But that still fell short of its 7.5 per cent internal benchmark, according to a mid-year update released Tuesday.

'The disconness' is a symptom of 'a strange situation' in markets, driven primarily by the race to build artificial intelligence in businesses that has rewarded massive and highly consummated spending on our assets, chief in the 1980s' future. That's limited said Thursday.

Of over 1000 artificial intelligence and a small collection of leading technology companies that are building new AI models and data centers: target-funded AI models, and the performance of markets so far this year, he said Tuesday: 'It's an upfront.'

its performance against benchmark that are weighted toward indexes of stocks that have risen sharply in value. The private assets that make up a large part of the Cancer's portfolio have struggled to keep them.

But the Cause is betting that, over the long run, a portfolio with a more diverse mix of assets will better protect and expand

the assets it manages to pay pensions.

'We want to make sure that we join the risk on the way up, smooth; but can absorb the shock very significantly on the way down.' Mr. Emond said in an interview: 'And that's part of the balance that we're going to bring.'

The fund's investments in

publicly traded stocks gained 1.4 per cent through date, leading a 1.0 per cent benchmark. Its infrastructure portfolio increased 7.0 per cent and real estate was up 7.7 per cent. But given a 1.0 per cent improvement last 4.1 per cent.

The fund's total assets increased by $2.6 billion to nearly $2.6 billion in the six months of

June 20.

Over the past decade, the Cause has earned an average annual return of 7.5 per cent, roughly on par with its weighted average 7.0 per cent benchmark. AI is one who triggers the most of the Cause's tracking across its portfolio: 'It comes from every angle. It's that important.' Mr. Emond said.

But expectations for the AI sector's future profits are still 'very high' and there are reasons to scrutinize how sustainable the current levels of investment will be in a race to capture the market.

'There's no big change along the way, and that is what we need to know for,' he said.

The Cause owns shares in the largest technology companies, has invested in data centers and has been a leader to data center, developed by the research and the fund is choosing its investments in the AI sector carefully.

'There's many ways to skin that call,' he said.

And it isn't it, the main concern for markets in the second half of the year is the continuing instability in the Middle East, which could push inflation to higher and strain pressure to raise current costs. That, in turn, could not be the case. But the cause could strain to labour markets.

'Central banks will have difficult decisions to make,' Mr. Emond said.

Brookfield Corp. says it can manage the risks of financing Nvidia's soaring growth

INVESTING INNOVATIVE REPORTER

Brookfield Corp. says it can manage the risks of financing the expanding cost of computing power for artificial intelligence through a US$900 billion partnership with App maker Nvidia Corp and other financial sector heavyweight.

Until recently, Brookfield had largely focused on building the development of new AI infrastructure, such as data centers and the huge amounts of energy needed to run them.

New Brookfield is one of six major financial institutions, including Blackstone Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., that plans to jointly raise as much as US$900-billion to finance the purchase of data needed to support the rapid expansion of the AI sector.

'We're very excited about the opportunity,' Brookfield Corp. chief financial officer Nick Goodman said on a Thursday conference call discussing the company's second-quarter financial results.

'Compass is the critical part of the digitalized supporting AI,' he said, referring to the different issues of infrastructure behind the technology.

Brookfield Corp. is the parent company of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. which oversees the 1994-1995 trillion of assets across infrastructure, private agents, renewable energy, real estate, credit and insurance.

'Brookfield's pace of construction is

new data centers and AI infrastructure, backed by vast levels of money, are building faster that an investment bubble could be foaming even as demand is increasing for AI tools and the computer to run them.

Some investors have also questioned the apparently circular nature of deal in

which Nvidia invests in companies that are major buyers of its advanced chips.

The new partnership between Nvidia, Brookfield and other 'Null Street financial giants' which have developed an numerous dam of understanding — represents an attempt to create robust and affordable ways to become 'a support for a future's core of business.'

The graphics processing units (GPs) needed to run large AI models 'can represent half of the required capital to complete the build,' Mr. Goodman said. 'So, leading efficient ways to finance the equipment is becoming increasingly important.'

He said Brookfield mitigates the risks inherent in investing in AI by signing contracts that promote cash flows, and by dealing with established companies such as major technology providers that Brookfield considers less likely to default on loans, Mr. Goodman said.

These companies include the hyperscale AI labs, chip providers and custom

ers that buy computing power, which form the main base of customers for the AI's cutting-edge products.

'We believe we can invest around this with the right risk contract," he said on an ad.

He also said the revenue from these contracts is still a comparative small vol-

ation in Brookfield's overall business.

'We believe that we are not really stepping out from our historical focus on risk management and earning attractive returns while adding a moderate amount of risk that we can do it at scale here.'

Brookfield Corp. reported a 10 per cent increase in second-quarter distribution earnings. A new number of 7.5 per cent proxy for cash earnings that could be paid to shareholders on US$4.4 billion, or to US cents a share, compared with the same quarter last year.

Profie was US$700 million, or 14.75 cents a share, compared with US$1.9 billion, or to US cents a share, in the same year.

Brookfield raised US$700 billion in the second-quarter, much of it from the company's acquisition of British-based in-store fast Group PLC. Inqings, its half-live functioning total is US$400 billion.

Last week, Brookfield's asset management arm reported higher quarterly profits and a similar, 10 per cent increase in distribution earnings.

Drones: Deep-precision strike system increasingly viewed by NATO members as valuable form of deterrence

At the end of fully Canada made clear its contention to develop and prevent its own sovereign version of a fifth system through an uncrowded technology marketplace that it is creating with Canada's依附性ly called the Defense Prone Initiative.

The application period to join the marketplace's pool of qualified suppliers closes on Aug. 17.

Second year vendors are expected to be accepted initially, with more invited to apply at later dates.

With the questions to be bought through this marketplace are yet to be determined, they will inevitably lead to the need to ensure that the company does not have a Command is working on to increase the number of drones being produced in Canada by 200 times, or two million drones a year, said Lieutenant-Colonel Nick Yarmack, head of the most concerned human Office and EPA program director.

The reality is Canada is behind in its development and training on these kinds of systems. In a presentation to more than one industry member about the world's major increased and the use of digital technologies for flying systems is — well established in Eastern Europe and among allies," he added. "The C4F is your behind and this is the catch-up attempt."

FPI system will be one of the first six updates that that National Defense will require from this pool of suppliers in the hopes of developing a sovereign production line.

This ties into the 'build' part of Canada for Defense Industrial Strategy, which Ottawa released in February to provide more decisions to the sector as to how an influx of federal funds will be spent.

Besides efforts on under way in a coalition of 12 European countries, led by Britain, which have committed US$800 billion over the next decade toward developing EPA capabilities.

The coalition also flies U.S. changing role in European defense as part of its reasoning for the initiative, after President Donald Trump called out NATO members for being overly reliant on his country's military might. Canada has similar incentives.

As a capability that goes hand in hand from the most international, FPI is being increasingly viewed by NATO members as a bone of deterrence that they want to be able to access in their own backyard.

But before Canada builds anything, it, too, will work with an allies to employ the other two parts of its industrial data — part — partner and buy — to purchase a FPI system within the next six months.

There is currently no technology in Canada that meets the requirement of such purpose—itself designed and manufactured system. So, Ottawa plans to buy one from another country in the hopes that industry, as well as the military, may learn from it.

Canadian partners to get their foot in the door boxes, which I think is a good thing."

He still has questions, such as what the spicy will be for the sovereign capability, what does 'wavenge' mean in this context, and how will it not be allowed to conduct testing, but he expects those answers will come to time.

Led partly by Ottawa's newly created Defense Investment Agency, the marketplace would bring topped to develop the sovereign version of the system places an emphasis on iterative development — something Ukraine has taken the lead on globally in its fight against Russian aggression.

A key factor in Ukraine's success on this is not how the system helping industry work closely with its soldiers on the front lines, said Colonel Chris Lubbe, director of joint requirements for the Canadian Joint Forces Command, in the same industry presentation in August.

For example, he said, 'Tactical ammunition — with startups, a corporal WhatsApping the lead engineer asking for a change by tomorrow, engineering startups fielded within 14 hours.'

Ukraine's circumstances are different from Canada's and their focus is on survival, he said.

The result of Canada's marketplace and having a prequalified pool of suppliers is to get the country reasonably closer to the same pace of innovation.

'The Defense Prone Initiative is the first to see, 'with the strength of a rollover — not all the way, but closer — to how things evolve in a theatre like Ukraine,' Col Lubbe said.

Norway's wealth fund warns of shareholder rights' erosion

GERLAPPI FOGDIE

GERMANY, GERMANY

Norway's US$700 billion sovereign wealth fund is raising concerns about what it uses as a steady erosion of shareholder rights across major markets, warning that regulations increasingly favour company founders and insiders over independent investors.

Investing the Norwegian state's revenues from oil and gas production, the fund owns an average 1.0 per cent of all listed companies globally, making it the world's largest single stock market in the United States. The U.S. cannot set the pace on issues in the field of environmental, social and corporate governance (EIA).

Fund officials are concerned about what they say is a general erosion of the rights of independent shareholders such as the bank, from the currency of different classes of voting shares to how they can gather information from companies.

'We are concerned about shareholder rights generally. We are concerned because we're seeing it's been diminished in many markets, not just the U.S., but also in the U.K., in Europe, in Hong Kong over,' said Carine Smith Bursadze, the fund's chief government and compliance officer.

Among the chief concerns was allowing for dual-share classes, which typically give more voting power to founders and insiders, while independent investors can own standard shares with less voting power. 'We're also seeing that it's changing the copyright requirements, making it more voluntary, and also in certain places, restricting access to our the companies and the boards,' she said in an interview. 'We have secret spreading and we're concerned that it may speed up our business.'

One of the reasons behind the trend was more competitive between stock exchanges, fund chief executive Nicolai Tangrin said in the joint interview. 'There is strong competition to purchase new IFPs, and therefore they permit more business to be distributed than we have seen before,' he said.

One recent FPI was for (less funds) 1.0pmu%, which the fund took part in. On Bursadze, the fund announced for the investment of 1.0pmu%, which was the company, worth US$1.0 million as of June 20, as they with no weighting on the fund's benchmark index, but modest when compared with the fund's other tech holdings.

The Stock holder more than 10 per cent of voting rights and continue the roles of data, chief executive officer and chief technology officer, raising questions about the company's governance and the rights of independent shareholders such as the bank. The British declined to answer any questions regarding 1pmu% government spending generality. He Smith Bursadze said the conditions around the voting rights of company founders were important.

'We also say if you do have different voting rights, and if you're a scientist, you need certain guardrails,' she said.

Central banks spearhead renewed gold rush

Bullion has bounced 30% since the start of August as a confluence of dynamics has spurred demand

JAMES MCGEIVER / ISI ANDO

ACTION

Gold is on the rise again, as a confluence of economic and political dynamics spurs demand from investors around the world, especially on cohort central banks.

After stalling around 1,000,000 units, over 10,000,000 units, bullion has jump-understand 30% in, or so far, when the start of August and could be set back for its best month this century. The last time it was to put vast or more in a month was September, now.

There have been a few key U.S.-valued triggers for the spike, namely the federal Reserve's 'divide bank' on interest rate, weak-replacement data and fairly same inflation figures. There have all tempered Fed cash-lake expectations and dragged down the dollar on status for gold.

But the same quarter's share, immersing geopolitical and policy backdrop that have revealed the world of gold's underlying

ing appeal, particularly for reserve managers.

The U.S.-ban war has re-escalated, and hopes of a peace 'deal' - however unsatisfactory that deal might be - are competing. U.S. President Donald Trump's off-camp ahead of November's midterm elections is narrowing. Escalators or capitalists are not the only choices Mr. Trump faces, but it is a black-and-white scenario, some analysts are now beginning to contemplate.

Meanwhile, doubts about the fuel's re-dependence and chair Kevin Marsh's inflation-fighting credibility are growing, however, were impressed by his remarks in July about the central bank's open contribution to the global. Furthermore, media reports suggest the Trump has repeatedly called Mr. Marsh more for appointment, and Mr. Trump has received his attempts to fire government has fowl.

All this has unnerved the bond market. Fields on the borderline in your Treasury now have stalled in their highest level in 10 months, while yields on 10-year bonds and 10-year inflation protected bonds are at their highest since 2007 and 2008, respectively. Little wonder, perhaps, that central banks have continued to reduce their frequency before همراه at the New York Fed. Those are the lowest since 2008. The U.S. is now in a phase where its global sequencing benefits of supplying the

world's reserve currency have now been exhausted; the next phase (which may already be underway) is what happens when the foreign official holders of your liabilities become more astray about holding them," economist Phil Sutlits wrote last week.

"Note: of these events on their own would necessarily spark a huge revival in gold. But those those all together, and it's a pretty compelling checklist. Especially for central banks, what had already received in the past two purchases in the second quarter after a lackluster first quarter.

Net purchases by central banks in the April base period totaled 186 tonnes, more than the time in the volume of the pre- or three months, according to the World Gold Council. This was a record high for a second quarter.

Sifting the average price into account, analysis at Deutsche Bank estimate second-quarter central bank demand was a record 1.0 kg million.

Today's only 1.5 million units, which survey of central banks in June showed that a record at per cent of respondents plan to increase their gold holdings over the next six months. Initial fund numbers appear to back that up. China's central bank bought a net 20 tonnes in July, a rise of 1.5 per cent from the previous month. That was the biggest increase, by both measures, since October, 2023, lifting its to-

all gold reserves is a record 4.27% in tonnes. China is again stalling maternity to its reserves. Gold is not a price fed signal, but persistent official source demand and renewed interest interest are reinforcing the value of inflation, currency and geopolitical budget. 'EVO analysis wrote last week.

But central banks move slowly, and a clear picture of their exequatization with bullion won't emerge for some months. It probably won't be a one-way street either. After the unprecedented price volatility of the last month of 2008, gold is no longer the ultimate safe future asset. It was long thought to be, even for central banks, the most conservative, price-insensitive buyer with the largest investment hon-

on. International Monetary Fund paper has been found that public 'highly volatile, offers only conditional hedging and diversification benefits,' and shouldn't be bought for liquidity purposes.

"Central banks should trust gold as a result of the 2008-2012 period, and a total cancellation decision to manage asset allocation and sound policy analysis," the authors said.

Central banks are unlikely to chase the 1985 Mindy. But as confidence in the world's reserve assets they, gold's afters is unlikely to dim.

Burgos of new homes in Ontario no longer have to pay the 15 per cent harmonized sales tax on their purchase and then wait to get the rebate. The Canadian government made it clear as late June that buyers who paid their credit to new homes can assign the HIT to the builder and do not have to pay the sales tax upfront.

That means that the buyer can now qualify for a mortgage of the purchase price without the 15 per cent sales tax.

Under the federal and Ontario governments' temporary HIT rebate on new homes, the homebuyer is eligible for a maximum discount of $100,000 on a new home price of 10 to 15 million. The rebate expires at the end of March, 2022.

Price to the federal government's tax is the same, but it is not a good way to pay the full benefit of the market. The price of the property is $100,000. The price of the property is $100,000. The price of the property is $100,000. The price of the property is $100,000. The price of the property is $100,000. The price of the property is $100,000. The price of the property is $100,000.

Here's how it now works:

To receive the rebate upfront, homebuyers must agree to assign the HIT rebate to the builder, according to the OLA.

They must also complete two notes. The GTI HIT New Housing Rebate application (from GTIup) and declared provincial form (RC7920-ON). Both forms must be provided to the builder.

The buyer then receives the HIT rebate on closing, which reduces the final amount payable for the home.

Swiatek cruises to NB Open title

Poland's Jay Swiatek celebrates her 6-2, 6-3 win over Kazakhstani's Elena Rybakina to clinch the National Bank Open final in Toronto on Thursday. It is the first title of the season for the six-time Grand Slam winner, Rachel Brady writes B12

CHRIS YOUNG/THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Jays will make the playoffs, thanks to the ineptitude of the teams around them

CATHAL KELLY

OPINION

I cannot people in handball were good at their jobs, it wouldn't matter how bad the Toronto Blue Jays have been at them. They'd already be booking beach vacations in October.

What have the Jays done well this year? If you take Dylan Coase out of it, nothing. If you include him, almost nothing.

On Thursday, they were roaked 7-0 by the Boston Red Sox in their series finale. The shots on the season should be half-written, but the Jays are still only a couple of games out of a wild card spot.

Three weeks ago, this team was an American battleship—everybody on it was in the process of going overboard. Engraphs had Toronto's odds of making the postseason at 7 per cent. I do not do much to a high-school level, but to me, 7 per cent means "impossible".

What the Engraphs model cannot reckon with is the unbelievable, vending on epichat, awfulness of the rest of the American League in 2016.

Tampa is good. New York is good. Everyone else is somewhere between much worse than they should be and so bad they should be too unthreatened to show up for work most days. I'm talking players, general managers, parking lot attendants. Everybody.

It is increasingly possible that someone will "win" the AL West with a losing record. Whatever their final tally, that team will almost certainly have a negative run differential. In what other sport could you be the best at something when you can't score more points than you allow?

In the Central, it's a bag of war, except everybody's pushing on the rope. The only team that looks anywhere close to decent recently is Detroit, and they get that way immediately after moving off their best player, which

means they have no chance. Last year, at this same time with the record they have now in a more sane American League, the Jays would have been four games out of the wild card. Year before, 7-0 games. Year before that, seven games out. Those are mountains to climb. This year, they've got a slight incline. It's barely even a hill.

Under normal circumstances, when a team that has been having games starts winning a few, you would say that they had got ten better. But the Jays haven't done that.

What's changed is that they've stopped playing like the traveling recruitment department for a down college, and the rest of the league has remained the same. It helps that, after a month-long hears of competence, the Red Sox are reverting to the mean.

The new, better Jays still have the sixth-ranked offence in baseball. Their pitching figures somewhere in the middle of the pack. Stockingly terrible plus redbeers should not equal one lucky weekend out of a playoff spot.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. still looks like he's trying to draw a nail with the wrong end of a

shove. Every day, someone different blows a connective joint getting up out of a chair. Now it's up to Myles Straw to provide the heroics. Straw wasn't an every day player until the Jays ran out of outfielders, just ran out of them. Like milk.

Every time anybody who isn't cause is pitching, you're half expecting the other side to start driving balls through the outfield wall, not just over it. This team is hanging onto the bumper of every single turning it plays.

You know what this means, right? The Jays are making the playoffs. Why? Because that is the most ridiculous thing that could happen.

They were five minutes from winning the World Series, and then they were the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and now they're going to be the team no one wants to play in the postseason because at least one of them is clearly a witch. They don't how they will do this, but they will. It's too perfect.

Again, in less unusual times, the gauntlet would be run in the next 10 days. The Jays face the Yankees, the Rays and then the Yankees again. KELLY, B12

Blue Jays lose their offence in series finale flop against the Red Sox

MARTY KLINEENBERG

Man Scherner reached another landmark on Thursday but it was not enough to help the Blue Jays complete a four-game sweep over the Boston Red Sox.

After taking the first three contests between them, Toronto fell 7-0. But it wasn't the 24-year-old's fault. He gave up just one run on three hits in five innings and surpassed 2,000 innings in his 10-year career.

"It is a really cool milestone to reach," Scherner said outside the club's dressing room. "It really stinks to come in a loss. It's hard to celebrate when you lose. I go out to compete to win."

These are 100 other pitchers in the 2,000 innings club, but only Justin Vorlander and him are still active. In his previous start, Scherner passed Walter Johnson and moved into soft place on the all-time strikeout list with 5,000. He added four more to that total against the Red Sox.

"When you look back to whom he has gotten in, you appreciate what he does," Toronto manager John Schneider said. "It's cool to be a part of that work."

It is a really cool milestone to reach. It really sticks to come in a loss. It's hard to celebrate when you lose. I go out to compete to win.

MAX SCHNEIDER BUILT, 2023, 17:00 AM

BALANCE, 2,000 INNINGS

"We didn't have a whole lot of quality contact. You have to give Tolle credit. It's frustrating but you are going to run into good pitching."

The Red Sox took a 5-0 lead in the first on a double by Willson Contreras. The score started that way until the eighth, when Chase Lee gave up four runs on four hits, including a 200-foot grand slam to left field by Caleb Durbin.

The blast came immediately after Schneider had Lee walk the preceding hitter to limit the bases with one out.

"I was trying to keep a ground full there and keep the game [at 9:02]," Schneider said. "I hate where a decision back then."

Eduardo Estrada entered in the ninth and gave up the last two runs on one hit. He walked two batters, plucked another and threw a wild pitch.

The victory ended a six-game losing streak for the Red Sox, who are third in the American League East behind Tampa Bay and New York. Toronto is 10-0, and at game's end was two in arrears in the race for the AL wild card. KELLY, B12

Scherner reached 2,000 innings when he looked at Mountain Trothida to pop out to end the first. The 24,000-plus fans on hand at Rogers Center churned the achievement.

To put this into perspective, Boston's starting pitcher, Payton Tolle, was five years old when Scherner reached the major leagues.

Tolle (9-0) was spectacular on this day, allowing just two hits in eight innings. He finished his outing by retiring the last 10 days he faced.

"He was in and around the strike zone, and we were making quick oaks," Schneider said of the opposing starter.

Swiatek dominates Rybakina for first title of the year

Despite missing Mbeku, NBO posted a Toronto attendance record after landing superb field of players

RACHEL BRADY

A National Rank Open that initially seemed doomed in Toronto without an finding champion Victoria Mbeku concluded on Thursday with record attendance, a crop of new fans, and the first title of the year for six time grand dam champion Iga Swiatek.

Swiatek outlawed world No. 2 Elena Rybakina of Kathahstan n.s. vs in the NH Open final – a result that will simplify his Polish World No. 8 star back into the WTA's top five.

The former World No. 1 had plenty of Polish supporters in the cold-out crowd on Thursday and throughout the tournament, waving their red and white flags and shaming her name.

On Sunday Swiatek added a 10th-hundred title to her resume and raised VX8, with 200 of the tournaments total VX8's 2,000 in prior years.

Tournaments director Karl Hala confirmed the total attendance for the 10-day event was a tournament record at 10,875. That's a new record for the WTA Masters were event in Toronto, said Hala, and a number on par with the ATP's attendance at Fobey's hadham over the years.

The tournament had taken long for when Mbeku announced she couldn't defend her title due to a knee injury. The 10-year-old World No. 12 still attended the tournament for some events with fans.

However, when in the second place with the expanded all-player draw, landed an otherwise superb field, including one of the top 10 players.

The four players who made the semi-finals were all ranked inside the top 10 – Rybakina, Swiatek, Coco Gault and Eliza Sotocaba. The 10th competing total hadn't happened at the Canadian Open since 2005, when the finishing final four were Martina Hingis, Serena Williams, Conchita

Martinez and Natasha Sánchez Vicario.

Toulifaxing Alex Lick from the Philippians was a massive hit in Toronto, the phasom who arrived fresh off her first-over WTA title in Washington. The World No. 20 attracted the city's Filipino community to the tournament by the thousands – many of them to their first-ever teams on the tour – just as he has at overall WTA steps around the world. They came to cheer her with Filipino flags, shirts, hats and hand-heads again.

“It was just unprecedented. We've never

seen anything like that in Toronto before,” said Hala. “Every month she played, it sold out. She was just a engaging with her fans and the community I've not really beautiful as we have solved to her fans. The fans just get so excited about her.”

On the deadlist split in Toronto, Katcyria Smadeva and Shara Zhang took the title on Thursday, over fans Ercon and Nicole Riddickar Martinez.

The WTA will rotate back to Montreal in 2017, where they will have equal joint money at the Canadian Open for the first

time. The most will cycle back to Toronto, and Hala said supporters will work to discuss a receiving problem. Why the ATP's top players often skip the Canadian Open, like several old again this year in Montreal.

“We're a mandatory event. We want all of the top players here,” said Hala. “So, all for this tournament we have meetings in New York, and we're going to return with the team, and try to ensure that we have the top player. And like we did this year, nine of the top 10 players.”

Infantino receives backing from six Arab bodies amid fallout to World Cup plan

The offer of support from Asian countries contrasts with their confederation's staunch opposition

KAROLOS GEOHMANN

tin heads of Arab national football associations, including Qatar and crop World Cup co-leven Morocco, behind FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Thursday, with the game's world governing body in crisis after a failed private investment plan.

Infantino, who is seeking re-election next year, has faced open-world after three confederations - UEFA, the AFC and CONCACAF - attacked his conduct and allied for him to spur over his aborted bid to bring private investment into FIFA's international home, including the World Cup.

The Swiss administrator had proposed curving off the commercial rights to the World Cup and selling so per cent to private investors to raise about $10 a million before a 6-turn following the leave.

"Recognizing the important role of Arab football in bringing people together and strengthening co-operation among football associations across the Arab world, we ... express our full support. In Mr. Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, and reaffirm our confidence in his leadership and continued commitment to the development of football worldwide," the heads of the six federations said in a joint statement.

The statement was signed by the head of the national federation of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Faisal, as well as Harry Abo Khala, head of Egypt's football federation and the heads of the Lebanese, Moroccan, Sudanese and Mauritanian football associations.

Bour of the six signatories - Al Faisal, Abu Khala Moroccan's Non-ir Lefaya and Mauritanian's football chief Ahmed Yahya - are also

FIFA Council members.

"We deeply appreciate Mr. Infantino's sustained efforts to advance football globally, expand opportunities across all regions and strengthen the game's role

in bringing people and communities together," they said.

"We look forward to continuing our close co-operation with him towards a stronger and more prosperous future for world football, expanding opportunities and further enhancing Arab football's contribution to the global game."

Some of the federations are members of the Asian Football Confederation that had expressed disappointment when Infantino's plan was announced and was sure as potentially aligning itself with European soccer governing body (UEFA) condemnation.

SUPPORT WITHDRAWN

Ireland on Thursday joined a growing list of countries who have withdrawn their support for Infantino.

"Following an FAI board mon-

ing, the decision was taken to record the letter of support that the association supplied earlier this year.

"It has since written to FIFA to explain its reasoning," it said in a statement.

"The association is grateful for the support that FIFA provides to Irish football, but recent events have raised significant concerns regarding government, transparency and the lack of meaningful consultation."

Infantino's withdrawn proposal came with a 5'€156-million-grant fine for the association for the next funding cycle, an amount that could have been doubled if they signed the deal.

After a crisis meeting in Morocco last week, FIFA apologized to its 21 member association for mistakes in the handling of the proposed and said its leadership had full support for Infantino.

Despite the opposition of the

three confederations, which represent 1st of the 21 member associations who will vote in the FIFA presidential election in March, Infantino still has plenty of allies in the game.

The full backing by the six national federations, many of them AFC members, shows that block voting is extremely unlikely, even if the confederations themselves have taken a clear position, with each national federation having one vote.

The Confederation of African football has also supported its fanfare.

The Swiss would need a simple majority of six votes should be face only one rival in next year's vote.

Should there be three or more candidates to hold their Infantino would need a two-thirds majority or 1/2 votes in the first round of voting.

CBC adds curling to Saturday night lineup, after NHL departure

GREGORY STRONG TORONTO

The CBC will beef up its curling coverage on Saturday this season, a move that will help fill the vacancy created by the departure of the National Hockey League from its broadcasting lineup this fall.

The Grand Slam of Curling and Rock League has been the first time at a part of a new five-year agreement. The Curling Group said Thursday the CBC will provide coverage with current domestic rights-holder Sportmet, which also agreed to a new five-year deal.

"CBC has a long history of curling coverage, and by providing a national platform to these potential running tournaments for another five years, we hope to engage and entertain an even wider audience of fans," CBC Sports executive director Chris Wilson said in a statement.

"We're excited to share another season of CBC's performance in domestic teams Canada, building on the momentum and excitement of the inaugural event."

The CBC will broadcast Saturday playoff games on the five-step Grand Slam circuit and air select Sunday funds throughout the season. The Curling Group said.

Sportmet will operate three dozen daily from Tuesday to Friday along with the Sunday finals. Saturday games will be available on Sportmet's streaming service (Sportmet's) while morning round-robin games and the broadcast will be streamed on the Rock Channel website.

The announcement came two months after the CBC said Sportmet announced they wouldn't be extending their NHL partnership for the such-yr season.

The decision meant the long-running (Rocky Night) season to be played, which provided televised NHL games for nearly 75 years and became part of the national fabric, would not return to the public broadcasts.

A million-dollar agreement between Rogers and Constantino on the CBC that allowed Hockey Night to air on the network expired at the end of the finalist Cup playoffs last spring.

The first season of Rogers' 4-year, his bid-to-broadcast rights deal with the NHL begins this fall. The CBC previously aired national games on Saturday, along with all four players to play in the season.

Sportmet is part of Rogers Sports & Media, which is a subsidiary of Rogers. The CBC will holds the HNC trademark and could incorpo-

rate the brand into future hockey coverage.

The CBC has said it plans to launch a new Saturday night prime-time show that will "highlight Canada's athletes as they compete at home and around the world."

In addition to curling, the network also plans to showcase women's professional leagues and more than as major world championships.

The broadcaster has a long history with the Roaring Game.

At the Olympic rights-holder, curling is featured daily on the CBC during the Winter Games and is usually a ratings list. The broadcaster has also aired major competitors like Grand Slams, men's and women's national championships and world playdowns in previous years.

Sportmet sold the Grand Slam series to The Curling Group in 2026, but the network retained the Canadian broadcasting rights.

Rock League, meanwhile, a pro league that made its debut last April, will return to the CBC when the five-event season begins in January.

All games will air on CBC television and the network's streaming service (CBC Com). Sportmet and Radio-Canada's streaming service (RCTOT-TV) will provide coverage of the first two days of each four-day competition.

"This is a defining moment for the sport," said The Curling Group CEO Na Solsky. "Sportmet and CBC Sports are the opportunity to build on curling's incredible homage and momentum, helping introduce it to new audiences."

"Together, we're delivering the most expansive linear television coverage in our history, giving Canadian fans more opportunities than ever to watch the world's best carbon compete in the Grand Slam of Curling and Rock League."

International broadcasting plans and commentator teams were expected to be released over the coming weeks.

Long-time Grand Slam broadcaster Kevin Martin recently announced that he would not be streaming for the coming season.

The CBC also aired some Professional Women's Hockey League games last season. The league, which also partnered with TNNNBA Sportmet and Amazon Prime Video, has yet to release its Canadian broadcasting plans for the upcoming campaign.

Kelly: Not one of the Jays' last 10 series of the year features an opponent with a winning record

FRONTELL

But this year, it won't matter what happens, because the Texas Rangers' charter will leave without the team and they'll be swept while AWCs. Then the fourth Mariners will try to change their hole by having every home run away from the 10-year season. Cleveland will close their ballpark so that they can guard the same a different colour.

If you need a reason to have faith, it's not the Blue Jays. They're still bad. Have faith that the rest of the American League is unattended as being any better this year. Maybe it's the coming work stoppage. Maybe it's Dodgers' league. Whatever it is, no one wants to believe being advantage of the most wide open year in living memory.

After that New York/Tampa/New York swing, the Jays' season begins to angle downhill. And it

mean, skiing off the edge of a cliff. Of the Jays' last 10 series of the year, not one features an opponent with a winning record.

I don't know what to tell you - keep your medium more plans vague. You can already see the path through. The Jays take out the White Sox (chairman) in the wild card. They year Tampa (paper tape) in the division series. They had the heart out of the Yankees (cam's favor) in the ALC's lead then six. (Inches how you boon some last year, we missed you guys.

It's not me saying this. It's you saying this. You're already said it to someone you know. You weren't serious serious, but you were sort of serious.

Now you're stopped saying it because you're actually serious, and you don't want to come yourself.

But don't worry. This isn't that sort of curse. It's the other kind.

Blue Jays

FRONTELL

The only time the Blue Jays posed even a mild threat was in the bottom of the first when they had two runners on base with two out. The team's only hits was a fugger's feast, and a career-to-It and Nathan Ilyas.

The Yankees were just a visit to Toronto for three games beginning on Friday.

The two took the Blue Jays, who are in the midst of 15 games in a row against division opponents, travel to Tampa Bay and the Bronx.

Entering Sunday they had won a 10-foot last of common money into the periphery of the playoff picture.

"We see in a," Schreier said. "It is fun to be in a place where

every start matters."

Schreier has had a tough season.

He's been on the ground list for 19 games due to back spouses and tendinitis in his right (sticking) forearm. The start on Thursday was only the 6th of the year campaign. He has been solid in his last three appearances, however.

"At the beginning of the year I was battling a lot of things and I wasn't right," he said. "I'm still building up my strength. This was a test. I want to be strong in this race. Unfortunately we haven't been as good as we want to be."

"Our job is to win, no matter what the standing up. That doesn't change our attitude. I'm not going to relent on that."

Detailed street scan, simulator, help drivers prepare for Indy in Markham

With Canada's lone IndyCar race changing locations this year, drivers have been working to learn the new course

JOHN CHILDTH HILL

A certain Grosjean has never wanted Markham. One, two he'll have shown its sincere interest of times before getting behind the wheel of his car at the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy.

Grosjean has been training for Canada's only IndyCar race in the United States, including Simulator and Honda Racing Corporation USA and to help drivers prepare for races. Engaging hours in the out- ting edge makes it a necessity to prepare for the street course around downtown Markham.

There was this stalk of this concert, the bumps and the tar- was, and they put it in that simu- ulator. "Grosjean said in a video of his work in home in Miami. 'It's very hard to make some game that's actually very real.'

'We go around and we do laps, and that's how we initially learn the track.'

The Grand Prix of Toronto was one of the oldest races on the 1st indyCar road, with the first race held in 1986. Exhibition

Place. Toronto's fairgrounds, had behind the crest since its change car race.

IndyCar and the City of Mark- ham announced on Sept. 1 that it was moving the race to the sub- the on Toronto's northeast front line, with a screen, 2.5-kilometer track that runs between Kennedy's Road, Enterprise, Shankwell, Unionville, CO inside and High- way get.

Since the temporary course had never even been back until this week, learning its levels and home - especially changes in our race culture - was essential for Grosjean and all the other drivers

for safety and performance. "I'm hoping that all the bumps were scumled properly because that is the biggest challenge com- ing to a road course," said Gros- jean, adding that the Exhibition Place took our οικονομist tough. "The Fitness' Gate corner was slippery in hell, and then we have the manhole cover and the section in front of the pit.

"It was bumpy and crazy, but that's the beauty of a street course, you know! You never know, and you get to adapt all the time."

It's the pit of Honda's bottoms head of vehicle performance at

Honda Racing Corporation USA, to help Grosjean and other direc- ty on Honda teams to have to adapt as little as possible.

Honda's Down-in-The-Google Simulator has a physical IndyCar complet featuring give degree pre- rotation and a 2-3-degree visual field, with real performance inside that combined, since from Google Maps and the laser scan of the roads completed by a third party company.

"Even by measuring this track, even by scanning in, you really don't know until the event what year's全部iched out," said Sam tano. "You're going to have a

model of it. You're not going to have the exact study of it.

African and world's in some expavity. It's just about who is go- ing to get it this least wrong.

Chevrolet has its own simula- tor for its teams.

Grosjean, who drives for Dale Crewe Racing, said that after producing in the simulator he will lamblance himself with the course in person.

"We're going to come to Mark- ham on Thursday, and we're go- ing to walk the track," said Gros- jean. "By walking the track, you can't be manhole cover, you see the gradient, you see the bump, you see the corners, you see the angle of the walls.

"Then you jump in a car and you gradually go home and home around the track."

Practice is on Friday, qualify- ing is Saturday and then the race is Sunday afternoon.

IndyCar and Park O'Heald used a strong ten outings to change from a left on the starting goal and runs his first career victory on the stream of Toronto.

Alex Falso will be the driver to watch this weekend. He finished the seconds ahead of Felix Ro- somayne at Portland for his sixth IndyCar victory of the season on Sunday. That extended his lead to ten points over Kyle Bolkwood in the driver ranking as he chose in on his fifth Indy Car title.

Spieth sharing the lead at

PGA Tour playoff opener

MEMPHIS, 73580

Jordan Spieth believes he's play- ing better golf and his finally got a season in show for a Thursday. He was happy first for a five-under-96 that gave him a four-way share of the lead on the FedEx 36 Indy- Championship and boosted his hopes of controlling his season.

Robert Clance champions Me- chael Theobromers, Jake Knapp, Michael Kim and Kurt Kinyama also opened with tips in the work- ining lead at the TPC Southwind. Spieth and Kim are outside the top up in the FedEx Cup who ad- vert the 1994 Championship next week.

This is the second straight year Spieth, at No. 34 and winless in more than four years, has been on the twelfth-going into the postma- son. He was at No. 48 a year age- and fell out of the top in.

He said the difference is the way he feels he is playing, even though he is the only player from the top to who qualified who has set to over the score in this year.

"I'm just in a very different place almost the game of golf that I was the last couple seasons head- ing into this event," Spieth said. "Again, if it's going to work out, great. If it doesn't, I know next year is going to be an awesome year for me. So it takes a lot of the stress off of the week."

Kim is at No. 10, and likely would need to finish at least 10th to have a chance to move on.

But it's just one round, and it was a little more than very seven players, including defending Fed- Ex Cup champions Tommy Ford wood, Hishko Matsuyama, Gary Woodland and Adam Scott - were at No. 9 on others were another strike back.

The month's end is not on getting into the top in because that looks up all the 1994 or million signa- ture events for next season. Spieth has been on the outside the top, and both, and knows what's on the line this week.

More than half the field, how- ever, already is assured of heading to Bellarmy in St. Louis for the 1999-2000 season, or for the time of Woodland and Scott - both just inside the top - a good week

could kick them up for the Tour Championship and a shot at play- ing for the FedEx Cup.

If all comes with a reward of getting in all the mopies.

"We only feeling has been on the most of this week, then it's all upside for me," Scott said. "There's so much to gain from a good week right now, not only for the remainder of the season. It's possible to kick up a spot in the Tour Championship this week, but also what it does into next year, the signatures and all the matters.

"It sets me up for what can be a year on my terms, which will be free."

Scott's Schofler, the No. 1 play- er in the world who has played the TPC Southwind more times (sev- on) without winning than any other course on the PGA Tour, opened with a 6th for was playing alongside Masters champion Ko- ry McIlroy who shipped last year knowing that his model had no hearing on his position the rest of the playoffs. McIlroy finished two- get bogey double bogey for 7s.

The attention falls to Spieth, who won three legs of the most Grand Slam before he's only birth- ful. But he had wide surgery at the end of 2024 and has struggled to respond.

He spurred with eight pars, 8 mills got a putt to fall, and then ran off four birdies in a five-hole stretch, including a go-broster on the par-three split. Newly, no ho- keys on the card was a plus.

"I just tried to come into this week and just be in pain on two- secuties as possible, dumb it down to try to win the golf course next and not worry about any- thing else," Spieth said. "Just knowing that you are better get by than I've been in a very long time and continue to believe in that. If low scores come, they come. If they don't, it doesn't change the fact that I know that I've better than I've been in a long time."

Jackson Koiran, who won the UK Open in his third start as a pre- and narrowly got the final spot in the postseason at No. 19, played in a single and shot 7s.

"New environment. New routine," said Al- son, who has purchased from in favour of play- ing preseason games.

"We want to make sure this is real gamelike

as possible because it is a real game," he add- ed, looking ahead to Buffalo's regular-season opener against Detroit on Sept. 17. "To have those repudiation the first game when we have a New on Thursday night, just understand- ing the process behind everything and not being surprised by anything now."

There's getting familiar with whom the game checks are situated, and also adjusting to the lights, which are now lo- cured below the roof canopy as opposed to being on top of towers, reactivating the old field.

Brady said a final determination on who plays and how much will be made following practice.

From year debentures co-ordinator Jim Leon- hard had previously announced having his starters play on Saturday Buffalo's defense has undergone the most changes this off-season, with Leonhard introducing a 1-3 system and the unit expected to feature at least five new starters.

Several injured starters on rest opposed to play, including center Connor McGavren, safe- ties C.J. Gardner & Brown and Cole Bishop and contraband Maxwell Harrison. The four players have missed at least several days of practice, though Brady has not revealed their injuries or a timeline for their reason.

Fever all-stars back

White afternoons

MICHAEL MAROT TUSKAMPOLIS

Indiana Fever all-stars. Allyde Boston and Kelsey Mitchell supported coach Stephanie White on Thursday, saying they were also postponed by the fever during White's introduction of Tuesday's home game.

The comments came two days after a forty, 45-minute message by White during which she defended herself after some one on contended she didn't show enough support for guard leaflet. Cunningham, whose success and across-the-head and such area last weekend at Chicago, believes so guided the foul from a flagrant 1 to a flagrant 2, resulting in an ejection of life guard Ithinai Carringham.

"I think I made how a great job with us," Boston said before practice. "We love her and appreciate her and so to hear [Irena], it was really annoying, honestly, and disrespectful. But for us, the man thing is the main thing, and we said we're going to come out here and get that win."

They did one - in resounding fashion, not up over the Cunningham's Cap champion Kew York Liberty.

After the game, Cunningham and three men all star Caitlin Clark both hailed their coach. Cunningham told reporters she had to perform with White's comments after the big game that she thought she felt made the right call, but that she didn't think Cunningham was interested in trying to hit Cunningham above the neck.

Cunningham also wrote: "WHITE FRUTIGUE" and tagged the Fever account on social media after the ejection. She has since explained she never claimed the foul was a result of white privilege.

Before Tuesday's game, White said she would have the option of what happened before her post-game availability Saturday. When she did watch it later, she said called the bad "apogeeae."

But she didn't just think squanely in the middle of yet an

other controversy and Indiana tournament-Governer Meule Redworth even used his social media account to call for White's thing.

Clark, Cunningham, Boston and Mitchell disagree.

"I told her to her face, I said, 'Coach, you know this is for you; in terms of a sense of confidence, a sense of awareness that isn't our game,' Mitchell said, referring to Tuesday's pregame conversation.

"It's like it really hurt my feelings to see her head of your emotions in terms of a sense of self and not nothing wanted in a place where she has to coach. In the end of the day, this is her job and she has to show my sex, and I think people don't really realize that but it's our job to remind her."

The boys came as a surprise to some for such an event that they her basketball-mob home state.

Her football bar high school started at bogey. In the local between Indy and Purdie's campus in West Lafayette, as the state's career scoring leader in path basketball, the bar the first-terminators to the right-up national championship was one of the original five-year champions and was an assistant coach on the first 7-year White kids team.

The league's very coach of the year returned to Indiana as local coach last season and came with some win-of-taking accounts in the 2nd-2nd Indiana team to the White finals.

Clark didn't like what happened, but understands because she has also been the target of boys.

"I found that our fans loved, to be honest, and you can disagree with this and that, I get it," Clark said Tuesday. "It's professional sports, people are going to love it, I do, and of the day, that's the good reasons. How to going to ride for her and we're always going to have her back and that's never going to tour our locker room apart."

After being expelled from the Communist Party during Mao's Anti-Rightist Campaign, he spent 20 years in obscurity until he was politically rehabilitated and eventually tasked with overseeing the country's economic modernization

KEITH BRADNER

He, Zhu's initiators propelled rapid growth in China that lasted with a little slowing along the way, until the housing market began to crash in 2016.

But his measures also set the stage for China's recent problems with excessive debt and its huge trade surpluses, which have led to trade wars with the United States during US President Donald Trump's terms in office.

A young Communist star in the race, He Zhu was expelled from the party in one of Mao's leading ideological purification campaigns. He spent 20 years in obscurity, including five years as a farm labourer.

Politically rehabilitated after Mao's death in 1975, he waged to the top levels of government. It was Mr. Deng, China's government leader from the late 1970s until his death in 1997, who plucked Mr. Zhu in 1999 from the continue as major industrialist and brought him to Beijing to reverse the country's economic modernization.

China's economy had grown rapidly through the spike in officials greatly reduced central planning and curbed the chaos of Mao's final years. His market reforms faltered after a deadly military crackdown created the Tiananmen began protests in 2016.

Mr. Zhu interrogated his country's embrace of market forces, starting as a vice-president on 1997. Promoted its premier seven years later, he overcame the privatization of thousands of state-owned enterprises and then led China into the World Trade Organization in 2016.

The eventual deal curbed by Mr. Zhu and his aides was unpopular with many Chinese people, particularly in inland provinces that weren't as prepared for international competition. Mr. Zhu was widely criticized for agreeing to reduce import of 600 on cars and many other goods to no more than 10 per cent from 10 per cent on more. But every into the WTO meant Chinese goods also had guaranteed access to Western markets with significantly lower tariffs, exports soared, and by 2000 China had passed the United States to become the world's largest manufacturer, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.

At the same time, imports did not grow as fast as expected. Mr. Zhu retired soon after China joined the trade body, and the country's embrace of market forces divored China began testing new technology, including buying in foreign goods. These included numerous subsidies for Chinese manufacturers and numerous requirements that government agencies and state-owned enterprises buy Chinese-made goods.

Under Zhu, Mr. China promised when it joined the WTO that it would quickly open up government procurement to international competition. But China still has not done so. Beijing leaders have faced objections from inland provinces that oppose letting Western companies compete in their sprawling public-works projects. Central government officials have submitted several proposals that other countries have usually reacted as insufficient.

Mr. Zhu was born on Oct. 23, 1948, in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province in southern China. He was orphaned at a small child and raised by two of his father's older brothers, Zhu Zhaoping and Zhu Nanfang. He went on to read in school and, in 1997, passed the rigorous entrance course in the able Yanghua University, where he studied electrical engineering. He joined the Communist Party in 1999, the year it won China's civil war.

Like many economic reformers of the 1990s, Mr. Zhu made a remarkable political comeback from presentation before climbing to the top of the Chinese government. He was working at the state Planning Commission, making machinery production when Mao began his Anti-Rightist Campaign in 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2007. He saw an dangerous opposition. The cam-

pagn led to the political persecution of 100,000 officials, teachers and other citizens over the next two years.

Mr. Zhu was among them in the early days of Mao's campaign. Mr. Zhu had given a three-minute talk at the planning commission that followed the prevailing line in Beijing at the time. But the talk was deemed politically unacceptable after the campaign intensified in October, 1997.

Before October, everyone thought that my opinion was good - after October, they said that your opinion should be recommended. Mr. Zhu said to a speech in 2007.

According to a biography of Mr. Zhu published in 2007 by a state company, he was also deemed an "opportunistic in revolution" because he had an unacceptable time background. He continued, gratefully, Yu Zhaobing, had been an imperial official before the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1998, sponsoring railroad construction in China.

Mr. Zhu was expelled from the Communist Party in April, 1999 and demonstrated coverage at the commission. But he was allowed to remain there to teach math, physics and chemistry in his colleagues.

His early difficulties set him up for further trouble a decade later during Mao's Cultural Revolution, when he was sent to

labour on a farm for five years. "I have done everything: planned wheat, rice and cotton, football cattle and drugs, raised pigs, and worked as a cook," he recalled in his 1988 speech.

When the revolution revived down with the illness and death of Mao in 1995, Mr. Zhu spent two years training power transmission workers. As China's politics began to share, he regained his government rank as a deputy director of power. He was also held in bad faith as a rising star 20 years earlier.

Mr. Zhu's Communist Party mumbumby was extensively rumored in late 1975, with full amounts dating to 1980. He joined the party in 1999. He was named research director for industrial economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. According to the 2007 biography, Mr. Zhu watched as academy officials burned his letter of expulsion from the party and the documents that had been written as evidence to condemn him as a rightist.

Mr. Zhu quickly became one of China's leading economic thinkers on industrial and rural issues. Within five years, he was vice-minister of the State Economic Commission.

At his career soared, he began a project that would have long lasting influence. He founded the School of Economics and Management at his alma mater, Yanghua. He began training a large school of economists and finance experts who were able to fill many top posts for decades. Chi Jinping, China's current top leader, has limited the influence of these technocrats, however, by creating Communist Party commissions that took considerable decision-making authority away from government agencies studied with Mr. Zhu's promotion.

After working his way up the economic policy ranks in Beijing, Mr. Zhu became the mayor of Shanghai in 1998. He came under Mr. Dong's wing soon after.

Starting in late 2008, after the elderly Mr. Dong began spending the first days of each Chinese New Year on its frozen blood, 1999, he is in middle Shanghai. There, Mr. Dong had long discussions about Mr. Zhu's plans to redevilize the Pudong area across the Shanghai River from downtown Shanghai.

The area was occupied by aging, state-owned warehouses and farms. Mr. Zhu envisioned turning it into the modern financial centre with skyscrapers that it is today. Mr. Dong not only supported those plans but, after a second visit to Shanghai in early 1999, brought Mr. Zhu back to Beijing as a vice-premier with special responsibility for trade and industrial production.

A year later, Mr. Dong elevated Mr. Zhu onto the Politburo Standing Committee. He renounced 2006 of power in the Chinese Communist Party. His years after that, Mr. Zhu was premier, a post he held until 2012.

While Mr. Zhu was premier, his son, Le-ran Zhu Xushu, was the most visible investment in the 2008 Chinese International Capital Corporation (CC), as it is known, worked with Wall Street banks to list the shares of the Chinese state-owned enterprises on Western stock exchanges.

In addition to his son, Mr. Zhu's family included Xia'an An, his wife of seven decades, as well as a daughter. He was also living long seven media reported in 2009 that Mr. Zhu also had at least one granddaughter, the daughter of Zhu Yanhai.

I REMEMBER

TOMMY HUNTER

In Toronto and the surrounding area, 1975 was a heady tour in municipal politics.

Torrance is was the time of June Jacobs, John Sewell and the old Coombs, and I share involvement in urban development.

Municipal issues were also of great concern in neighbouring Mississauga, there a town of 100,000 that was expanding into a city.

Next communities grow from the centre outwards, but Mississauga was keeping several communities after 1975, and 1980, and from the outside in. There was plenty of open space. In fact, across from the City Hall was developed Hawaii Nagoya farm, many of them.

Many citizens of Mississauga did not like the existing council carrying up to developers, or the

speed and level of quality of proposed development.

Enter a committee group of young people with families in south Mississauga, who were concerned about building a community and decided to work for a new councillor and mayor to promote their views of property and controlled development. My wife, Pat, and I were a part of that group.

At a meeting to discuss election ideas, I advanced the idea that Mississauga, like New York, became and San Francisco, should have its own song.

It is happened that Tommy Hunter lived in our area, and, volunteered to ask him to come away a song about Mississauga. I did not know him, but somehow I found myself in his living room several days later to make this re-

quest.

After a pleasant discussion and few questions, he agreed to do it at no cost. I was afraid I do not think later the song Mississauga was born.

I envisioned that the song would hit the airways and strangestness for the city, the city, the city, and the candidate and our views.

Upon receipt of the composition, I was very excited. Others were polite and said they liked it. In its the end it did not headline our campaign as I had hoped. The election results, however, were as we hoped and we elected the government we wanted.

Some time after the election, my wife and I received a call on a long run to the official recording of Mississauga, where we could join the background singing group along with the Laurie Bower Singers, who "torned that the song and the band prominent people from the city. The result was a 10 rpm record, and the picture on the cover was

all of us singers.

The recording received very little attention, except from the cold blight, and the developer, who wanted to buy it, perhaps to promote his real estate. He did not get it.

While the song did not make the charm like Chicago or New York, New York, we do have a piece of music called Mississauga by Tommy Hunter that anyone can listen to on YouTube.

As for Mr. Hunter, he could not have been more friendly, economically, and a lot of people, pleasant, warm, fiddly and easy to work with.

Tommy Hunter was a household name and we are happy for the most personal event, and we are believed city. Thank you, Tommy

Tiny condos selling again as prices fall

SHANE DINGMAN REAL ESTATE REPORTER

Michael Soudelov, realtor with Re-Man Professionals' Salonica Inwood Realty Inc., got plenty of attention when he posted a video on social media describing a newly built condominium apartment that sold by just $200,000 on July 1. "It kind of blew up a little... I got a lot of inquiries with random people that are shopping in that price point," he said. The 300-square-foot studio apartment was located at 100 acres N. in the recently completed Prime Condo building from developer Center Court. There were reasons it was so cheap: It was allegedly power of sale, a legal process where

lenders sell an owner's property to recoup an unpaid debt.

"I was checking recently what was the next cheapest unit, it was $100,000 more and also a studio, so this unit's definitely an outlier," Mr. Soudelov said. "Still, when someone sees something that starts with a two in downtown? In a new building that's livable? We haven't seen that since 2010 or 2015."

That kind of deal is still rare, according to data from real estate analysts. But if there is a bottom to the market, it's likely to be found with the smallest apartment, which have started to sell as prices fall.

"Smaller units have come down by 30 per cent plus in the last four years, buyers are getting in at the fraction of the price they

would have to pay," said Shaun Hildebrand, president of Urbanation, who noted that in the second quarter of 2015 there were just 30 sales of condos priced under $200,000 in the Toronto region, compared to 300 sales of apartments under $200,000 and 1,000 sales between $200,000 and $300,000. The share of sales in the most affordable category - all sales priced under $200,000 - has grown 20 per cent since the second quarter of 2015, accounting for about a third of the total market.

Sales are growing relative to last year, but are still off the boom times of five years ago when condos prices were still being according to data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, there was $1.7-billion in sales on a 104

condo apartment transactions in July, 2015. In July, 2015, there were only 1,014 sales (40 per cent lower) for $200-million (40 per cent lower). In 2015, there were three parts of Toronto's cast and that had average condo apartment sale prices under $200,000. In 2015, there were none. Who exactly is buying these smaller condos in somewhat disputed.

"There is no first-time homebuyer approaching us to buy a dog-crate condo," said Ron Butler, principal broker with Butler Mortgage who has been influential in the industry popularizing his casino-carrier description of very small apartments that were designed to be sold to investors on a rent-per-square foot basis, not a livability score. Because there's a limit to how

small even a tiny condo can get, Mr. Hildebrand notes there's always been a counterintuitive price premium for studios and one-budrooms. Currently the smallest units are priced about 20 per cent higher than the rest of the resale condo market, with an average price per square foot of $500 compared to $7.75 in the rest of the market. But that premium is much smaller than the peak of the market in 2015 when it was 20 per cent higher (at $5,000 a square foot) than the rest of the market at 1,000 a square foot.

As it is, the best-selling condos are the larger ones above 100 square feet, and the average selling rate has increased for the sixth year in a row according to Urbanation. © CONDOS, 2015

A reno that took on a life of its own

Red-brick townhouse in Toronto's east end gets a much-needed update

MATTHEW KAGUS

The old saying that the kitchen is the heart of the home doesn't account for people who prefer takeout and restaurants. For years, that was true for Graham McLeod, a lawyer at ISMERS, and his partner, Tim O'Fallon.

They live in a former dairy factory converted into townhouses in the 1970s. Their red-brick, three-storey home in Toronto's east end once had a small kitchen tucked along one side of the narrow main floor (about 15 feet wide). There was an awkward island and little storage. The couple didn't mind.

"We used to go out a lot more than we do now," says Mr. McLeod. "We weren't using the kitchen. We just had a shinier fridge and hardly any counter space. Even when we entertained, we didn't prepare big meals."

When Mr. McLeod bought the house in 2014, before he met Mr. O'Fallon, there was a more pressing issue. The dining area was sunken by a low foot.

"I was naked in the seventies and eighties," he says. "So there was a certain nostalgia to a sunken space for me. But an architect friend pointed out that the stop down made the layout a bit choppy and reduced the basement headroom below. I'm glad I made that change."

Over the ensuing years, Mr. O'Fallon moved in, life went on, and there were more important priorities than the undevoted kitchen. In 2011, the couple overhauled their garden.

About a decade later, they turned their attention to the two-upper-floors of the 1,200-square-foot home. Throughout, they worked with Plant, a Toronto firm specializing in architecture and landscape design.

Mr. McLeod first heard about Plant in 2007, when the firm won an international competition to redesign Nathan Phillips Square, the public space outside Toronto City Hall.

"I was interested because Plant does both architecture and landscapes," he says. "I didn't just want a new garden. The space also needed storage. I wanted to replace a sad-looking shed."

For Mr. McLeod and Mr. O'Fallon, Plant printed Lisa Rapoport transformed a tiny sliver of land into a multifunctional green space. A trim black pavilion conceals garden tools and a barbecue, while reclaimed timber benches edge a tree-shaded patio.

"We kept working together after that," says Mr. Rapoport. "Over the years, we built a lot of trees."

Best, FLANT moved indoors. "The top floor is a contemporary take on a man's boudoir and showing room," says Mr. Rapoport. "The walls are lined in walnut, but the lines are modern and clean."

The design is so sleek, it's almost impossible to tell where the Murphe bed is hidden within the showing-room, millwork. Tucked behind a bookcase, it converts the room into guest quarters.

The middle floor serves as a library, lounge and gallery. The couple has an extensive art collection, displaying paintings, photographs and illustrations between the wood panelling.

"Again, it's a lot like an updated man cave from the 19th century," says Mr. Rapoport. "There are three beautiful orchard windows, but a lot of the walls are white."

The kitchen eventually became a priority, in part because Mr. McLeod's cat took the couple overseas, first to the Middle East and later to the U.K. "While we were away, Tim started enjoying cooking," says Mr. McLeod. "And when we came back to Toronto, we wanted to cook together. But there wasn't enough room for two cooks in our kitchen."

The new kitchen, completed recently, maintains the character of the rest of the house. "We carried the warmth of the wood down to the main level," says Clive Bunter, a senior associate at KCAV who led the kitchen project. "The front door is walnut, the windows are inadequate. Many of the kitchen cabinets are cherry."

Another design element that has the space together is a white and workable bed. One of the low has between pantry cupboards. The frantical loading up the staircase is also white steel.

says Mr. Rapoport. "All the wood can feel quite heavy. The thin steel helps lighten things up."

The new kitchen is a much bigger presence, though. Where once it was confined to the side, it now stretches across nearly half the floor. A marble island invites guests to sit and that while Mr. McLeod and Mr. O'Fallon dice, dice and fry – or pitch in

themselves.

Although no refrigerator is visible, a full-sized one is concealed behind a discount panel, as is the dishwasher. Storage was added wherever possible. The ground floor has seating in foot ceilings, and the new cabinetry extends all the way up.

"Graham is very tall," says Mr. O'Fallon. "I use a ladder."

To reduce the new dynamism of the room, Mr. Rapoport and Mr. Buster introduced various into the cabinetry and back-uplab, because the back-uplab is marble, the stone was carefully extend on the back, allowing it to flow into the main space.

For the homeowners, the space was worth waiting for. "We use it all the time," says Mr. O'Fallon.

"Now we cook everything." For Mr. Rapoport, that long generation is neither unusual nor undesirable.

"We often have clients who renovate their homes over long periods, sometimes so years or more," she says. "People's circumstances change over time. A home can keep evolving to meet their needs."

As presale condo market slows, some exit the business

Companies that formed in boom times are having to adjust their business models

HOWARD CHAI VANCOUVER

“For a long time, B.C. was one of the capitals of the world when it came to preselling homes, with buyers coming from across the globe and other markets trying to replicate the boom. But as Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz, we’re not in Kansas anymore.”

According to real estate services firm MLA Canada, there were 1,491 presold homes released to the market in July, 2025, but only 974 in July, 2025. The number for this July? Every two.

The economic impact goes beyond the developers and purchasers—who are increasingly being used for backing out of purchases. Because presales were such a big part of the market, an investment of supporting businesses formed around it, most notably the devil-all firms that plan sales strategies, oversee the sales centres and handle sales on behalf of the developers.

With presales now just a negligible part of the market, those firms have been forced to adjust.

“What I’m witnessing in the marketplace is that those that are adapting and evolving, it’s not just about local count shift, it’s also about service shift,” said Ryan Lalonde, president and partner at MLA Canada.

Mr. Lalonde, who founded BLYD Marketing in 2005 before merging it with MAC Marketing Solutions in 2016 to form MLA Canada, described their head count as a “fraction” of what it was at months ago and said their range of services has changed “dramatically” in that time to include significantly more advisory work, including return of opinion, master plan evaluations, demographic analysis, cost rolls and pricing models.

In a marked, Mr. Lalonde says that most of their business when the market was good personnel to projects that somebody had already decided to build. The work today is primarily about getting to that decision. Like developers, their business is now also much more focused on rental projects than condo projects.

“The human system is we now get hired to tell a developer their project likely does not work at the price that they need it to work at,” Mr. Lalonde said. “It’s such a strange thing for a sales and marketing firm to have to share.”

Founded in 2005, Magnum Projects is another firm that has ad-

Real estate services firm MLA Canada reported that last month, there were only 42 presold homes released into the market, compared with 573 in July, 2025, and 1,426 in July, 2025. (COUNTRY/THE GLOBE AND MAIL)

nated, both in headcount—down about 40 per cent in the past 18 months—and services. While previously focused on new condo launches, vice-president of sales Craig Anderson says their business is now heavily focused on standing inventory, he is selling it for developers, selling it via co-introduced sales or reviewing it for dealers.

Kennis, the most prominent such firm in Vancouver, led off 20 per cent of its staff—31 people—last year and has also adapted as its own ways.

Kernie was more of a brokerage than other firms and expanded their commercial real estate team last year. This year, they then formed a partnership with The Agency, a global real

estate brokerage, that will allow Kernie to expand its services outside of Canada.

Not all firms are adapting as well, however.

Okanagan-based Epic Real Estate Solutions’ corporate website is no longer online. Epic was led by Shane Styles, whose LinkedIn indicates he departed two years ago.

Vancouver-based BakerWest Real Estate’s corporate website is also no longer online. BakerWest was led by Jacky Chan, who told The Globe last week that he sold his stake in the partnership and departed two years ago. BakerWest’s largest project also became insolvent last summer.

Epic and BakerWest were both affiliates of Ontario-based Peer-

age Realty, with Faser Valley-based Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing also an affiliate in B.C. Fifth Avenue’s corporate website remains online. Not its long-time leader Jamie Squires told The Globe last week that she departed earlier this year.

The Globe and Mail reached out to Postage for comment, but has not received a response.

For the firms that are still alive, presale is no longer the name of the game, they have to find ways of adding value, and everything has to be earned now. Mr. Lalonde says that’s not necessarily a bad thing and carries an “only the strong service” message, while Mr. Anderson has found it rewarding to be working with end-users instead of investors.

“There’s zero concern: high-rise launches,” said Mr. Lalonde. “When we go from ten to ten project launches per year to a small fraction of that today, there’s significantly less launches, there’s significantly less home sales, and there’s going to be significantly less people that are needed to service that work. That’s what’s reshaping our industry today.”

“I’ve been in this industry a very long time. At the peak, the business didn’t require much of us. Products sold, pricing was whatever the last pay per plan 1 per cent, and marketing was top-designs and a wait-list. Now, everything really has to be earned.”

Condos: Even reasonably priced units can struggle to find buyers, agent says

© FRIEND HILL

The largest volume of sales in Toronto-square condo apartments in the second quarter of 2025 were for two-bedroom units with a 2nd sales with a median price of $19,000, according to sales data collected by Walls Realty Inc. That’s up from the 1,211 sales of two-bedrooms in the second quarter of 2025, but the prices are down 162,000 (or 9 per cent) from the median of $189,000 a year ago.

Even medium-sized condos are struggling to find the right market balance as author Ryan Cook, Keller Williams, Kolonel Othan Realty, discovered as he prepared to market a new listing at The Ravine Condos, a 29F apartment building at 31 Deerlick Court in North York that finished construction in 2024.

He’s listing a one-bedroom

plus days with more than 600 square feet of living space for $495,000. Days before he went to

market a similar apartment in the building sold for $495,000, after sitting unsoild for 114 days

under an initial list price of $185,000. That kind of comparable can present a challenge.

“There’s about five other listings in the building, a lot of them are actually higher than ours. It’s a room time you’re almost kinda shooting in the dark,” Mr. Cook said.

The challenge of finding a buyer for even reasonably priced units is that many in the market still aren’t sure this is the bottom.

“Everyone’s looking for deals I have buyers on the go, they want the deal. A lot of sellers are still not to bunch, they think it’s COVID times.”

Mr. Cook’s client purchased to preconstruction and is unlikely to lose money on the sale. But the seller who settled for $495,000 may have flirted with a loss, given preconstruction prices for similar units ranged from

$195,000 to $495,000, according to Taft/Lendco.com, a database of preconstruction and resale condominium pricing.

Taft/Lendco also has sales data from 192 Jarvis. In 2025, Centro Court was marketing its 200-foot studies for $495,000, or 15,000 a square foot.

Last month’s $195,000 price is a much more palatable trip a square foot, but almost certainly that seller faces significant losses.

Mr. Hildaband believes that big or small, Toronto condo apartment prices may be approaching their low points.

“Prices are probably getting toward a floor,” he said, referring to data that show the available investment in the smallest units are beginning to get absorbed. “It still suggests the market is unbalanced, but it’s moving toward balance.”

The big payoff in converting old office buildings to new uses

Done right, it's a win-win for housing and the environment

JOHN LORINC

Over decades, Halifax's Centennial Building, with its facade of vertical precast concrete strips and modernist stylings, anchored half a downtown block facing bade-life Street, about a third of the way up the steep hill between the haitiwar and the park surrounding the city's historic (Cradle).

During COVID-19, with so many people working from home, the Centennial's tenants vanished and in 1920, the 25-cent-square-foot building was sold to Sidewalk, a Dartmouth developer/builder that wanted to convert it into rental apartments. The first phase opened last year, the rest of the city-unit project, known as the Agency Art Letts, was completed this spring.

It's fitted out with one- and two-bedroom left-style units with 10 to 20-bed ceilings and good stores. "We part very much like the design of these old factory left conversions," says Joe Nickerson, Sidewalk vice-president and partner. "The house of the building's were great."

Yet the conversion has deliverable more than just new downtown housing. Its "upcycling" as existing building and then refitting it with state-of-the-art IRISC systems, adding new insulation and replacing about 20 percent of the windows. Yet Nickerson says the conversion has reduced the operational carbon emissions from the building by about 10 per cent and avoided 4,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases that would have been released by constructing a new cement foundation.

The project to give the Centennial a second-life, moreover, qualified for building from the Canada Infrastructure Bank's (CIB) depotській program, with financing and lease delivered by the Bank of Montreal. "Ultimately," says Mr. Nickerson, "we're fully represented that building for a new world life."

For years, some architects and climates now-profit argued that older apartment buildings with outdated heating systems, single-pass windows and body controls could be refurbished, with the energy savings offsetting the renovations costs between the math didn't again work. And these deep retrofit projects often entailed displaying residents during construction.

buildings into apartments as a means of providing new housing while finding a second (and property tax generating) life for those vacant structures.

Now, as the Agency Letts project and a growing roster of similar ventures have shown, the office-to-residential conversion must may also be delivering an unanticipated climate dividend of the sort originally envisioned by deep retrofit advocates.

"Can [conversions] be part of a broader strategy for reducing emissions and addressing climate goals?" asks Jeffrey Biggar, an associate professor at Dalhousie University's School of Planning and co-author of a recent paper looking at how the two goals fit together. "We're wondering if planners [and] developers are thinking in these terms."

Families certainly are. "Not having to build a new building (means) a lot of carbon savings," observes Mike Hellman, vice-president of the Alberta Eurasian Foundation, which has helped finance two such conversions in Calgary, completed by the Astra Group. "On top of that, what we see able to do with our involvement is really push the envelope in terms of the operational emissions as well."

"All these fantasies co-burnish are why we've really feared into the space, and our clients have been fantasically receptive to that," adds Lillian Hoover, head of BRD's enterprise sustainable finance solutions, which has deployed CBI's capital to underwrite loans for a portfolio of office-to-residential conversion projects that now consists of about 100,000 apartment units in total. "We see a very strong demand."

The payback period, he says, is in two years. But like almost two-offs related to a location. "When I found [the Centennial project] a year ago, you look at these windows that are going in

BULES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Canadian municipalities aren't all singing from the same hymn book when it comes to office-to-residential conversions. Here's a sampling of preceding policies: Wassover: Allowed to a few designated pockets of the downtown including Vailmines, but subject, under a 17-year-old policy, to council's assessment of whether any payment can worsen is in the public interest. Projects also need special summer reinforcement, which drives up cost.

Calgary: The national leader, thanks to a cash incentive program that has updated 21 conversion projects with almost 2,700 units. Onsetagers are qualify for $60 to $75 per sq. ft. cash incentives.

In a market where most condos projects are on life support, the items doing such conversions tend to be working on more than one. Sidewalk's got another conversion going in Dartmouth, a recent have been finished in Calgary. "Currently," says Astra CEO Naomi Oldsevsky, we have two complete conversions, with a third one that should be done by October, and we need that will be completed next year. Astra acquired four of the five buildings at deep discounts, through foreclosure.

The City of Calgary has been offering a fifty-square-foot in centre for conversions. People all across the world are still looking at Calgary as having the best incentive policy to actually get

Ottawa: City council in 2023 voted unanimously to adopt an office-to-residential conversion policy of streamlining approvals and reducing or eliminating loss and property taxes.

Montreal: The city exempted office-to-residential conversions from a new below-mandating nonmarket and family housing in projects over 50,000 square metres.

projects built, and therefore they're costing the most undead soil carbon out of anyone," says architect Steven Paynter, a principal at Camden, which specializes in such projects and is currently working on one of the 1,000 home to conversions, a State Asset Management owned former office building at Foote Street and St Clair Avenue.

In such projects, the existing foundations, with their underground parking garages, Mr. Paynter believes, can be left pretty much as is. "It is such an easy win from a sustainability point of view. Concrete takes up about 10 per cent of all of the global carbon emissions – four times more than the airline industry, the just keeping concrete there and reusing it is a huge win."

Some developers have figured out how to double-down on those

benefits. "We've installed 20 car changes in 195 staff parfuates, which we strategically located between two stalls, so I would argue we have 100 per cent coverage in the building," says Robert Sipka, president of Canna Corp., a Calgary developer, concerning a 1,000 office tower. "Our goal is to implement a car share for the tenants of the building, so that it goes to a higher utilization of EPs."

Still, the emission reduction benefits aren't automatic. Some of these conversions can be flexibly from an architectural perspective, and builders can erode the financial dividend by making ill-considered design choices, such as replacing the entire exterior, a costly undertaking, instead of targeting those sections of the cladding that are looks.

Mr. Paynter points out that redual and airtight buildings perform best from an energy-efficiency perspective if the windows don't open and fresh, conditioned air is pumped in instead. "Most people still want [operable windows], but from an energy and fresh air point of view, they are not actually really beneficial to your unit."

For do these projects necessarily provide great housing, Halhouser's Jeffrey Biggar says he's soon hotel conversions in the Halifax region that yield 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

But for these office-to-residential projects with adequately sized units, the locational benefits – which also yield emission reductions in terms of reduced car use – are certainly a draw, as are the spirits of living in a former office building, says Astra's Mr. Oldsevsky. "You can go live in a 20-storey tower with two elevators and wait half an hour to get home at 10 o'clock, or you can be in a 10-storey [former] office tower that has four elevator banks."

What all the time in this space point out, perhaps not surprising is, is that conversion projects absent public-sector programs, such as the cost-effects by the CIB or the City of Calgary would likely not achieve the kinds of emissions reductions being realized in the current crop.

"It's possible, but your end result isn't really going to be very good in our opinion," Mr. Oldsevsky says. "The deep retrofit conversions, he adds, result from the combination of explicit demand, the availability of older office buildings and targeted financial incentives provided by governments or non-profits. 'At the end of the day, you want to provide a comfortable space.'"

1301 Sunset Rd. BOWEN ISLAND, B.C.

Asking Price: $1,200,000 Taxes: $7,250.24 Lot size: 15 acres Agent: Jesse Dixon, Engel & William Vanessow

THE EAGLE/TORY

Jan Willem never imagined himself living on an island. But in 2004, his daughter had plans to study at the Vancouver Film School, and he and his wife found themselves flying from the Netherlands, where they lived, to the West Coast of B.C. with the idea of purchasing a second home. Mr. Willem's wife was intrigued by the idea of living on one of the Gulf Islands, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. They toured several before making the trip to Bowen Island, a so-minute hory, ride from West Vancouver, where they came across an empty lot for sale.

"We came all the way up to this nice high view. It's about 100 metres high, above sea level. And we were standing there overlooking the sea and the scenery, and the said, 'Oh my God, this is great!'" recalls Mr. Willem. They submitted an offer the next day.

Mr. Willem and his wife have spent between four and six months of the year at the Bowen Island house over since, but now, approaching their 60s, the couple find the logistics of dividing their time between two homes too challenging. "It's a pain in my heart," says Mr. Willem about the decision to place the home on the market.

THE HOUSE TODAY

Mr. Willem and his wife tapped architect Allan Peters, who also lived on Bowen Island, to design the house. They knew they wanted a compact home that blended into the landscape and had a "living" to green roof, an uncommon feature in North American buildings at the time. Mr. Peters travelled to the Netherlands, where green roofs were more popular, to start up our plans. Not only do we help the building almost disappear into the hillside from certain angles, but the green roof absorbs rainfall and keeps the home cool in the summer and insulated in the winter, explains Mr. Willem, a mechanical engineer by trade. "We have dinner on the roof sometimes," he says.

Inside, the open-concept kints-

The home faces west toward the other Gulf Islands, rather than the mainland, which makes it quieter and means dramatic sunset views.

The interior of the home was designed with exposed beams and refrained maple floors to create a warm, natural feel.

on and living area in market by exposed beams and refrained maple floors for a warm, natural feel. Mr. Willem, an avid cook, spent extra time designing the kitchen with Mr. Peters. It features a bank of west-facing windows, marble countertops in a striking sub-coloured finish and a functional layout for both cooking and socializing with guests. "I'm very satisfied with how the kitchen was built," says Mr. Willem.

Another non-negotiable feature in the house was an overtaxed fireplace, which Mr. Willem was determined to frame with weathered steel from a document-sioned cargo ship. "If you have a

ship that is made out of steel, the steel with salt water starts corroding," he says. "Then you get little dimples on the same sheet—an different crystals in steel." They eventually swared some suitable pieces from an industrial site in Squamish, which they bagged back to Bowen Island. "It looks almost like leather," says Mr. Willem. "It's special."

Mr. Willem and his wife also requested two overtaxed bedrooms, both of which have walked decks and remains bathrooms. A flexible space on the top floor could be used as a third bedroom, a den, or an art studio.

The property's living roof and

naturalized landscaping also mean less time spent gardening and more time swimming at the beach (just a kilometre away), wandering pathways along the sea, or spending time in the right-knit, anti-oriented community of Bowen Island, which has a population of approximately 2,000. "It's very nice and quiet. No noises of traffic," says Mr. Willem, who was part of a painting group and crafted bronze sculptures during his time on the island.

THE BEST FEATURE

For Mr. Willem, it's the views

from 1,000 Sunset Rd. by Illinois the most. The home faces west toward other Gulf Islands, rather than toward the mainland, which makes it quieter. It also lends itself to dramatic sunsets.

When he and his wife were working on the home's initial design with Mr. Peters, he knew they wanted oversized windows in every room to capture the breathtaking coastal views.

"You're looking through the house, and you have the wide view of the sea, looking towards Texada Island and the Sunshine Coast," he says. "You feel, well, like heaven."

Price set low results in 10 offers for renovated Toronto row house

45 Shirley St., Toronto LITTLE FORTUNE

Asking price: $195,000 (May, 2024) Selling price: $1,175,000 (May, 2024) Previous selling prices: $330,000 (August, 2024), $464,000 (April, 2024), $282,000 (May, 2024), $120,000 (July, 2024) Taxes: $6,296 (2024) Days on the market: 10 Listing agent: Sandra Fink and Amy Polson, Sage Real Estate Ltd

THE ACTION Agent Amy Polson employed numerous strategies to generate multiple offers for this three-bedroom row house near Dundalk Street and Lansdowne Avenue. She set a price under $10 million and a quick deadline for submitting offers. The response from buyers was enthusiastic, with more than 100 home hours and 10 offers.

"Any time you get double-digit offers, it's not anticipated, and that was definitely the case here," Mr. Polson said.

"There was definitely some post-op buyer demand for houses. We haven't seen a lot of inventory, [with] some leftover from the winter months that weren't moving."

The negotiations ended with the buyer asking $100,000 above the asking price for the two-storey home.

Back in 1995, it has been renovated and expanded in many areas, including the basement, which now has a laundry room, a second kitchen, a full bathroom, a recreation area and two entrances.

"It's unusual in row homes to get that extra space," Mr. Polson said.

"It had an addition on the back that provided a main floor family room and options in the basement for multigenerational living. There's lots of flex space -

and that really spoke to people as well."

WHAT THEY GOT This book Victorian has 1,400 square feet of living space, including an updated kitchen, living and dining areas, and a four-piece bathroom upstairs.

The cooling and plumbing system were recently replaced. Outside, there is a two-tiered deck facing south and a garage

Updated Edmonton century home finds buyer near asking

Asking price: $184,000 (June, 2024) Selling price: $188,000 (July, 2024) Previous selling price: $305,000 (2024)

Taxes: $5,585 (2024) Days on the market: 10 Listing agent: Clare Packer and Shandle Sayers, BigMan Excellence

THE ACTION This four-bedroom house became too small for the owners' family less than two years after they bought it for $100,000. Choosing that same amount, unless it's not, in their asking price this summer, instead to buyers comfortable with the quirks of owning an older home such as the one, built-in spas. The others arranged a full-color deal with one buyer within three weeks.

"Wentworth is one of the few areas [in Edmonton] with these two-year-old houses, and what has sold there in the past two years has arranged about as days," agent Clare Packer said.

"The sellers were happy to get what they got for it, and they can move along to the next property."

The lack of homes like this one a few kilometres west of Edmonton's core, which combines

traditional and modern components, likely fuelled the night safe. "There are still some areas where buyers are buying the story, history and charm [of a home]," Mr. Packer said.

"It has original hardwood flooring, plastic walls and staircase. The layout had been largely preserved, but it had some modifications, like the bathrooms and kitchen."

WHAT THEY GOT This house has 1,400 square feet of living space across three levels, plus an unfinished basement.

There is a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining

Taxes: $8,312 (2024) Days on the market: 10 Listing agent: Luke Dubnila, Royal College Real Estate Toronto Ltd

THE ACTION There was an over-attendance of condominium units in the west-end Number Bay Shores area this summer, which might have suppressed demand for this 1,200-square-foot corner unit at Palace Place by the Number River. But a handful of buyers appreciated its newly renovated 1,400 square feet of living space. The number of buyers, which is not limited to 1,400 square feet of living space, is also a lot of money. It was quite surprised to see it go that quickly, but it speaks to the level of fit and finish through-

Asking this 1,400 square feet of living space, the number of buyers, which is not limited to 1,400 square feet of living space, is also a lot of money.

Liding agent: Christopher Bibby,

By/Max Hallmark Bibby Group Realty

THE ACTION This 1,427 square-foot penthouse overlooking Victoria Memorial Square Park had its visitors during the time it was listed this spring. The owners, in no rush to sell, declined the first two purchase offers. They accepted the next one from a house who appreciated its size and setting.

"The buyer came in with a full price offer and we accepted," said agent Christopher Bibby. "In the market we're in, it's a win. It ended up being the highest sale in the building recorded publicity."

The benchmark points to the scarcity of condominiums like this one with three floors and an elevator.

"The unit is almost set up like a house in the sky," Mr. Bibby said. "It's a very unique layout."

"The elevator was custom-dose originally with the builder. It's very unique and uncommon. It wasn't a standard inclusion in other units."

WHAT THEY GOT This penthouse has walls of windows in each room, plus a west-facing balcony off the kitchen and office and a south-facing balcony along the living and dining areas on the second floor.

The third floor has a rocky

shoe area, a laundry room and two bedrooms with full bath rooms.

A powder room is on the second level. The unit contains 1/4 on the first level.

The unit has six storage lock-ins and two parking spots. Monthly fees of $3.50 cover water and use of the amenities at a Hotel, the luxury hotel that shares the 45-year-old building.

Liding and buyers' agent Bill Thorn, By/Max Realtors Realty Inc.

THE ACTION This four-bedroom house, about two kilometres north of Kyriview Village Shopping Centre, was hardly generating interest from buyers during its first week on the market this spring. Agent Bill Thorn, whose client was prioritizing a fast sale, quickly dropped its price from $1,298,000 to $1,198,000 and offered public and private tours. Guests at the open house indicated a bidding process and the seller dropped another $125,000 off the price for a $1,500,000 deal.

"After we changed the price, there were quite a few drawings," said Mr. Thorn. "The reaction from the market was very positive. The buyers got a relatively good price, but the seller got to sell it sooner rather than later. It was a mutual benefit."

The sale price was also a reflection of the lower value of a more dated home, custom-built rough-

by 30 years ago, on a go-by-icy 4x4 5W, near desirable schools, subway line and Highway 205.

"If there was no house on it, the price would have been around the same," Mr. Thorn said. "It's on a mid-10-var, a child-side street with a dead-end, which is good."

WHAT THEY GOT This two-storey

house has had several updates, including a new roof.

There is 1,000 square feet of living space, an enclosed office, a dining area and a living room with exalted ceilings.

A bank desk can be reached from the kitchen and a family room with a fireplace.

There are four bathrooms, and a basement with two bed-

rooms and a recreation area.

THE AGENTS THAT "This house is substantially larger and also more recently built compared to [Second World War bungalows] from the 1920s," Mr. Thorn said.

"The buyers could spend $10,000 to make it look really good."

Liding agent: Gary Cirillo, Realty Executive Priority One Ltd

THE ACTION This semi-detached, raised bungalows, with an asking price of $50,000, had nearly three dozen visitors, including four-time buyers and investors. At three different times, the sellers declined offers in the $700,000,000, even though other homes in the area, near Stocks and Islington Streeters, were trading in around that level, between $750,000 and $700,000.

"Buyers were trying to grab a deal, and my clients were trying to get close to the asking price," said agent Gary Cirillo.

"There were a lot of low sales in the area. That's why it took us a little longer."

In July, a new offer came in for the 1st year-old home on a winding, one-third street. Negotiations brought the number to 1,000,000,000, which the sellers accepted.

"In this pocket, prices had dropped dramatically," Mr. Cirillo said. "That's why it was tough to get $500,000."

"It was definitely on a better street, and, looking at the competition, this one was probably the best in terms of pride of ownership, even though it was all original."

WHAT THEY GOT The house has an cut-in kitchen and a four-piece bathroom on the main floor, as well as three bedrooms and principal rooms with hardwood flooring.

The living room also has a

front balcony above the garage. The basement has a secondary kitchen, a full bathroom and two recreation areas, including one with a fireplace and sliding doors to a patio. It also has a separate front exit to a vertical driveway on the go-by 1/4-foot lot.

THE AGENTS THAT "Most homes [in the area] are semi-detached, raised bungalows or backpiles, and they all have that separate [basement] entrance," Mr. Cirillo said.

Homeshares a win-win for renter and host

Programs such as SpaceShared contract students and homeowners

KERRY GOLD VANCOUVER

Suzanne Petrie is a 60-year-old retiree and lives in Barron, Ont. Max Bentley-Acog105 is a 30-year-old from Cancun, Mexico, who shares her home.

By renting space in Ms. Petrie's home, Mr. Bentley-Acog105 found affordable, decent housing that enabled him to go to school in Canada. For Ms. Petrie, her young student homeowner has enabled her to earn a little income, get some help with a five-chores, and keep her house secure when she goes away on trips.

"I live in my own in a house, and I have space in my basement that's like a bathroom, a living room, and a bathroom, and I didn't have anybody living in it," said Ms. Petrie, a retired teacher. "I don't want to waste space, not when so many people need housing."

The best-student arrangement was made possible by SpaceShared, which got its start in 2023 by partnering with Barron's Georgian College, where Mr. Bentley-Acog105 just finished studying to become an occupational therapy assistant.

The SpaceShared program has more than 10,000 registered users and operates in Ontario, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and, as of this summer, in B.C., with new partnerships with Langars College, Vancouver Community College and Knuettes Polytechnic University. Another federally funded home sharing platform, called SpaceNet, also operates in Metro Vancouver, as well as other areas of the country.

SpaceShared chef executive officer and co-founder Rylan Kinross said that they hope to expand beyond Metro Vancouver and into other parts of B.C. The program taps into the reality that students face, particularly when they arrive from another country: the high cost of Canadian housing.

"In terms of affordable housing in British Columbia, while some rental-market indicators have softened, affordability remains a concern for many students," said Mr. Kinross. "They still need access to safe, affordable, good-quality housing within

Max Bentley-Acog105, left, rents space in Suzanne Petrie's home in Barron, Ont. Mr. Bentley-Acog105 was attending Georgian College when he was connected by ShareSlipness with Ms. Petrie, a retired teacher who had an unusual living space in her house.

a reasonable commute of campus.

Many students seek out and benefit from the intergenerational relationships that home-sharing can offer, including an introduction to and greater integration into the community where they are living for older adults and other hosts, home-sharing can help address loneliness and social isolation while using cost-of-living, pressures through supplemental rental income.

"Ultimately, this isn't just about addressing students' housing needs," he added. "It's also about strengthening communities and creating meaningful connections at a time when

many Canadians are feeling increasingly isolated and disconnected."

Ms. Petrie had heard about the program in the newspaper, and she attended an information session before deciding to proceed. It appealed to her that Mr. Kinross's organization would vet students and help manage any issues throughout the home-share for a small lot.

She was required to answer a lot of questions to help find the right match, and then she met with students via a conference call to help her decide.

For example, Ms. Petrie said she knew one student wouldn't work out because he was rude when she had trouble with the

video technology. She also didn't want to take on the role of someone's mother, such as telling the students when to clean up their rooms. Mr. Bentley-Acog105 was at when he arrived, and the arrangement has worked out as well he's staying on as her tenant after graduation. He's found a job within four-travelling distance.

"You're leaving your country, going to another country where the language is not your own," said Ms. Petrie. "And you don't know the food, you don't know the transportation, you don't know anything [about the culture]. What I appreciate about them is that they're independent thinking people."

Mr. Bentley-Acog105 pays four a month and does some chores, such as mowing the lawn, in exchange for the low rent, which, he said, is much lower than what his friends are putting. He and Ms. Petrie sometimes share meals. His parents were comforted knowing he would be in a safe environment, and he's learned a few things from his senior houseman.

"It's totally different backgrounds, and I'm going to be in my older than you, they have very good insight into how life works around here," said Mr. Bentley-Acog105. "So, at least in my experience, that is usually helpful in letting you know how everything works, and there's a lot of things to talk about, especially because of that. They are very good teachers in life, and how this country works," he said.

Mr. Bentley-Acog105 and Ms. Petrie with helping him cope with his first winter in Canada. "My first winter was a big impact, but... the landlord helped me figure out people and I'm ready for the weather, and how to handle the ice. That was new to me. I think I had a pretty good first winter, and second winter."

In B.C., 2/8,000 people over the age of 62 lived alone according to the 2021-2022 school, although asking some for new units in the region have dropped since 2012, the overall average rent, including long-occupied units, is around $2,500 per month, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

For postsecondary institutions, a home-share program can help them attract and retain students.

Langars Global director Brad Van Dam said in an e-mail that it's not just about housing costs.

Trading safe, affordable and welcoming housing can be one of the most stressful parts of moving to another country to study," said Mr. Van Dam. "During a safe and welcoming place to live can help students feel settled, secure and at home as they begin their studies at Langars."

Jennifer Gosson, director of international education at Vancouver Community College, said that fostering a sense of community among students is central to her work, as well as helping students find appropriate housing.

"Trading affordable housing close to transit can be a significant challenge for students, and SpaceShared can provide not only a more accessible housing option, but also a welcoming, homelike environment," said Ms. Gosson.

Kitsilano townhouse sellers take offer below 2024 purchase price

HOME DEAL:

1557 Lynch St., Vancouver KITSILANO

Asking price: $1,900,000 (June 24) Selling price: $2,015,000 (June 17) Previous selling price: $2.5 million (2024)

Taxes: $6,744.82 Days on market: One Calling agent: Bronson-Bertles, Engel & Villiers Vancouver

THE ACTION: The sellers had purchased the unit two years ago for $2.5-million, and had to move for work.

They didn't make money from the sale, but they didn't lose much either, said listing agent Bronson-Bertles. The property, she said, held its value.

"We get quite a bit of interest and an offer that first day, because it was priced well. The money I had to add there are certain pockets of Vancouver like Kits that really hold their value," said Ms. Bertles. "In the case of this

townhouse, it is super unique, really beautiful and very European, and it's a block from the beach."

The agent held a second open house but didn't receive any offer offers.

The sale completed July 15. HURT THIS LOT: This 1,700-square-foot townhouse is located "north

of Bouth," about a block from the beach, in one of Vancouver's most coveted neighbourhoods. The Kitsilano six-unit boutique property was built in 1983, when developers could attend to be generous with space and finishes.

The space is flooded with natural light, with a double-height atrium, two private ter-

tears, a rooftop deck and an interior courtyard.

It is warned with radiant heat beneath the engineered oak floors. The Kitilano features a large island and top-end appliances. The sellers had already moved out to the property was completely staged.

THE AGENT'S TIME: Ms. Bertles be-

laves they likely would have received another offer, but in a fin-ikty market it was better to take a good solid offer with a quick completion date rather than hold out.

"You have to ask, what's your risk tolerance?" said Ms. Bertles. "Because the next offer could be for 30-million." - KERRY GOLD

审核报告

第一步：幻觉核查协议

经过对译文的逐段核查，未发现明显的幻觉内容。所有涉及的关键信息（如人名、地名、事件、数字等）均在标题索引或抽样原文中有对应依据。

---

第二步：问题汇总

1. 数字错误 - [BLOCKING] 译文中出现 3p's 摄氏度（英国记录今年最热的一天），原文应为 36.7 摄氏度（见标题索引及抽样原文）。 - [BLOCKING] 译文中 5p 摄氏度 和 5p's 摄氏度 同样错误，原文应为 35.1 摄氏度 和 38.5 摄氏度。 - [BLOCKING] 译文中 US10亿美元 和 US1000000亿美元 明显错误，原文应为 US$10,000 和 US$100,000（见博彩相关段落）。

2. 术语/专有名词不准确 - [WARNING] 译文中 schimaxia（野火鸡文章）应为 山茱萸（dogwood）（见抽样原文）。 - [WARNING] freerline 应为 铁路线（rail line）。 - [WARNING] yr sites 应为 17 个站点（Grifols 公司站点数量）。 - [WARNING] CREDITS（商业报告）应为 安大略省（上下文推断，原文为 Ontario unveils framework...）。

3. 格式/残留问题 - [BLOCKING] 译文中出现 © 符号未翻译（如 © GRIFOLS, A15），应替换为 （版权所有，详见 A15 版）。 - [WARNING] 部分段落出现英文残留（如 Polite Soshman, no soldier (8) 等谜语内容），属于低中文密度区域，但根据审核指南，此类内容（填字游戏、数独等）不需报告。

4. OCR 源错误 - [SOURCE_OCR] 译文中 Bentley-Acog105 疑为 OCR 误读，原文应为 Bentley-Acosta（见抽样原文人名列表）。 - [SOURCE_OCR] Brad Van Dam 可能为 Brad van Dam（荷兰裔姓名常见写法）。

5. 误判核查 - [FALSE_POSITIVE] 译文中 Mahrouba Suraj 被疑为幻觉，但经核查为阿富汗女性权利活动家真实姓名（见标题索引 Five years after the fall of Kabul...）。 - [FALSE_POSITIVE] SpaceShared 和 SpaceNet 为真实住房共享平台（见抽样原文 SpaceShared 项目拥有超过 10,000 名注册用户）。

第三步：严重问题总结

问题描述	严重级别	位置示例
气温数字错误（3p's → 36.7）	[BLOCKING]	英国热浪报道
博彩金额错误（US10亿 → US$10,000）	[BLOCKING]	博彩内幕交易段落
版权符号未翻译	[BLOCKING]	多处 © 标记
OCR 误读人名（Acog105 → Acosta）	[SOURCE_OCR]	住房共享案例

---

第四步：结论

发现阻塞性问题（Blocking Issues Found）： 1. 数字错误（气温、金额）严重影响译文准确性，需全面修正。 2. 版权符号未处理，违反交付标准。 3. 其他问题（术语、OCR 错误）虽不致命，但需改进以提升质量。

建议： - 重新核对所有数字（特别是温度、金额、日期）。 - 统一处理版权符号（如 © → （版权所有，详见 X 版））。 - 校对 OCR 高风险区域（人名、专有名词）。
