As a child, Annemarie Deslogesfollowed her parents to post-

ings around the world. She thenchose the same path for herself.

Ms. Desloges joined Canada’s for-eign service in 2008, climbing theladder with postings in Delhi and,most recently, with Canada’s HighCommission in Kenya. Seen as arising star, she had taken on a new

role with the Canada Border Serv-ices Agency and calmly embracedvisits to refugee camps across EastAfrica. She married her best friend,Robert Munk, with her union lead-er saying the pair became a “singleunflappable unit” abroad.

They were together when terrorstruck. Ms. Desloges, 29, died Sat-urday, when she and Mr. Munkwere among those targeted in abrazen attack on a Nairobi mall.

Canadians Annemarie Desloges, 29,and Naguib Damji, 59, were killed inthe attack.

His face wet with rain and tears,Nairobi banker Ali Valli plungedthrough the police barricadesoutside the Westgate mall, rush-ing desperately down the roadtoward the building where hiswife and son were hostages ofIslamist militants.

“Let me in, let me in, let mein,” he pleaded with the police.“I want to go in, I want to die.”But they grabbed him and bun-dled him away, trying to reas-sure him that his wife andtwo-year-old son could still bealive. “Keep heart,” they toldhim.

On the second night of theshopping-mall siege by the ex-tremist group al-Shabaab thathas already killed at least 68people and injured 175, therewere explosions and gunshots inthe darkness, but still no solacefor frightened relatives of the re-maining hostages.

The death toll is expected tokeep rising. Military vehicles car-rying armed soldiers were seentrundling through the streetsaround the Westgate mallthroughout the day on Sunday,and helicopters flew overhead.

Somalia’s extremist al-Shabaabgroup says its deadly terror

attack on a Nairobi shoppingmall is a punishment and a warn-ing to Kenya to stop its troops in-terfering in Somalia, but thehigh-profile assault serves amuch larger, much darker pur-pose.

To the new al-Shabaab leader-ship, this Nairobi attack “is muchmore than a local battle,” saysAlastair Crooke, author of Resis-tance: The Essence of the IslamistRevolution.

“It’s part of a region-widemovement, a much larger sectari-an conflict.”

Just as the twin 1998 al-Qaeda

attacks on the U.S. embassies inNairobi and Dar es Salaam sig-nalled the rise of Osama binLaden, this weekend’s attack inthe Kenyan capital may presage anew al-Qaeda trend with arenewed emphasis on thingsWestern.

Ever since the power struggleearlier this year within al-Sha-baab, the group has becomedominated by extreme jihadists.Long-time leader Sheik HassanDahir Aweys was forced to sur-render to the Somali authoritiesafter it became apparent he wasoutgunned within his own move-ment by young fighters profess-ing loyalty to a more radicalcourse of action.

800 843 3269 | TIFFANY.COM When a politician makes a reference to his six-year old daughter’s cocker spaniel as he tries to defuse a scandal, is it touching or cringe-worthy? In 1952,a TV audience of nearly 60 million people – a record at the time – watchedRichard Nixon, then a U.S. senator from California, make a direct appeal tovoters. Selected to run for vice-president alongside Dwight Eisenhower, Nixon was in hot water over a slush fund financed by wealthy donors. Withwide-eyed sincerity, he proclaimed himself a man of integrity and modestmeans. But there was one contribution he would not return, he said: the puppy, named Checkers, sent by a supporter in Texas. Two decades later therewould be Watergate, but that night Americans overwhelmingly gave Nixon the benefit of the doubt. The Eisenhower-Nixon ticket swept to victory inNovember. – Joanna Slater

German Chancellor Angela Mer-kel has won a massive personalvictory in Germany’s election,but the end result has left herin a tricky position.

Ms. Merkel’s Christian Demo-cratic Union won 41.5 per centof the vote, the best showing bythe party in nearly 20 years andhigher than opinion polls hadpredicted.

The CDU did so well it hascome close to forming a majori-ty government, falling just oneor two seats short, according topreliminary official results. Oneparty has not been able to forma majority government in Ger-many since 1957 because of thecountry’s complicated electoralsystem that routinely producescoalitions.

But crucially for the CDU, itlost its partner in the previouscentre-right coalition govern-ment, the Free Democrats. Thepro-business party was wipedout Sunday, failing to get abovethe 5 per cent threshold neededto win seats in the parliament,or Bundestag. That means Ms.Merkel will likely have to forma so-called “grand coalition”with the left-leaning SocialDemocrats, which came secondSunday with 26 per cent of thevote.

“This is a deceptive kind ofresult in many ways,” said JanTechau, director of the Euro-pean Centre at the CarnegieEndowment for InternationalPeace in Brussels. “It’s a person-al triumph, but it comes at aprice. The price is that her coa-lition partner, the very conven-ient one that she has had overthe last few years, is gone …and that the coalition optionsin front of her will certainly bea lot less convenient for her inone way or another over thenext four years.”

The CDU does not control theupper house, or Bundesrat,which is made up of representa-tives from the country’s 16states and is controlled by theSocial Democrats. A CDU-SocialDemocrat coalition would havea massive majority in both

chambers, Mr. Techau said. Ms.Merkel led a CDU-Social Demo-crat coalition from 2005 to2009.

The Social Democrats seemdivided on whether to join a co-alition. Many support the idea,but the party’s candidate forChancellor, Peer Steinbruck, aformer finance minister in aprevious coalition with the CDU,seemed cool. “The situation isunclear, so the SPD would bewell advised not to speculateabout how the governmentmight look,” he said Sunday.“That ball is in Mrs. Merkel’scourt.”

Ms. Merkel played down talkof coalitions, saying she wouldopen talks with the Social Dem-ocrats but preferred to wait forthe final results. But she cele-

brated the party’s strong show-ing. “This is a super result,” shetold supporters at the party’sheadquarters in Berlin. “To thevoters, I promise that we willhandle it responsibly and withcare. We will do everything wecan in the next four years tomake sure that they’re onceagain successful years for Ger-many.”

The result was a vindicationfor Ms. Merkel’s low-key cam-paign and her deliberate, if attimes dull, leadership style. Sheclearly won the respect of Ger-man voters who have beenenjoying a strong economy, lowunemployment and solidgovernment finances.

However, she did feel someheat during the campaign fromthe upstart Alternative for Ger-

many, formed last spring by agroup of economists who wantGermany to pull out of theeuro.

Party leader Bernd Luketapped into growing resentmentabout Eurozone bailouts tocountries such as Greece andalso advocated tightening immi-gration rules. Early results showthe AfD did not quite manageto cross the 5 per cent thresh-old, winning 4.9 per cent of thevote. (In Germany, half of themembers of Parliament aredirectly elected from ridings justlike in Canada. The other halfare elected based on the popu-lar vote each party receives).

Nonetheless, Mr. Luke cele-brated the results as a victory ofsorts. “We enriched democracyin Germany,” he told supporters.

A pair of suicide bombers blewthemselves up outside a 130-year-old Anglican church in Pakistanafter Sunday mass, killing at least78 people in the deadliest attackon Christians in the predomi-nantly Muslim country.

Islamist violence has been onthe rise in Pakistan in pastmonths, undermining Prime Min-ister Nawaz Sharif’s efforts totame the insurgency by launchingpeace talks with the PakistaniTaliban.

Within hours of the attack, Mr.Sharif toughened his stance con-siderably, but fell short of callingfor outright military actionagainst insurgents holed up intribal areas on the Afghan border– an option supported by Paki-stan’s army.

“Such incidents are not condu-cive of peace talks,” Mr. Sharifsaid in televised remarks. “Unfor-tunately, because of this, thegovernment is unable to moveforward on what it had envisaged,on what it had wished for.”

Explosions struck the historicwhite-stone All Saints Church inthe city of Peshawar, near thefrontier tribal areas where Isla-mist militants have their strong-holds, as hundreds ofparishioners, many of them wom-en and children, streamed out ofthe building.

“I heard two explosions. Peoplestarted to run. Human remainswere strewn all over the church,”

said one parishioner, who gaveonly her first name, Margrette.

Her voice breaking with emo-tion, she said she had not seenher sister since the explosionsripped through the area aroundthe gate of the church enclosure.

Interior Minister ChaudhryNisar Ali Khan said the death tollof 78 included 34 women andseven children, in remarks tele-vised live from Peshawar. Morethan 100 people were wounded.

“Who are these terrorists killingwomen and children?” Mr. Khan

said. The Taliban-linked militantgroup TTP Jundullah claimed re-sponsibility within hours of theattack.

“They are the enemies of Islam,therefore we target them,” saidthe group’s spokesman, AhmedMarwat. “We will continue ourattacks on non-Muslims on Paki-stani land.”

An assault of such scale and au-dacity could be a turning point forMr. Sharif after months of incon-clusive efforts to engage the Paki-stani Taliban in talks, offering

him a cue to give in to the tougherapproach backed by the military.

The army, which keeps thou-sands of troops in the tribal belt,an area where insurgents arebased, opposes talks with the Pa-kistani Taliban, saying previousattempts to bring the militants tothe negotiating table yielded noresults.

Christians make up about 4 percent of Pakistan’s population of180 million, and tend to keep alow profile in a country whereSunni Muslim militants frequent-

ly bomb targets they see as hereti-cal, including Christians and Sufiand Shia Muslims.

Attacks on Christian areas occursporadically around the country,but Sunday’s assault, in a denselypopulated Christian residentialarea in the old walled city in Pesh-awar, was the most violent inrecent history.

In 2009, 40 houses and a churchwere set ablaze by a mob of 1,000Muslims in the town of Gojra inPunjab province. At least sevenChristians were burnt to death.Seventeen Christians were killedin an attack on a church in Baha-walpur in 2001.

Some residents, enraged at thelack of adequate security at thechurch, took to the streets imme-diately after the attack, burningtires and shouting slogans.

Shops were closed in the KohatiGate area where several otherchurches are located.

“Terrorists have not sparedmosques, temples and churches.Please have mercy on us,” oneman outside the church told Paki-stan’s private Geo television chan-nel.

Protests by Christians were alsoreported in other cities includingMultan and the violent port cityof Karachi.

A bomb disposal source saidtwo blasts had been set off by apair of attackers. More than 600parishioners were inside thechurch for the service.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

People in the southern Swisscanton of Ticino have voted toimpose the country’s first banon face-covering veils, followingin the footsteps of French andBelgian restrictions that rightsgroups say discriminate againstMuslims.

Almost two-thirds of voters inthe Italian-speaking districtbacked the ban that still needsto be approved by the federalparliament in Bern before com-

ing into effect.Campaigner Giorgio Ghiring-

helli, who drew up the proposal,said the result would send amessage to “Islamist fundamen-talists” he said were in Ticinoand across Switzerland.

“Those who want to integrateare welcome irrespective oftheir religion,” he said in astatement on the website ilguas-tafeste.ch.

“But those who rebuff our val-ues and aim to build a parallelsociety based on religious laws,

and want to place it over oursociety, are not welcome,” headded.

Amnesty International said thevote was a “black day forhuman rights in Ticino.”

There are roughly 400,000Muslims in Switzerland, about 5per cent of the population.

In 2009, voters backed a banon constructing new minaretsand Switzerland’s biggest party,the Swiss People’s Party (SVP),has long made opposition toimmigration a key plank of its

electoral appeal.“I would also have voted ‘yes’

if I had been in Ticino. The bur-qa is a symbol of femaleoppression,” said ChristopheDarbellay of the Christian Dem-ocratic People’s Party on Swisstelevision, referring to a head-to-toe covering for Muslimwomen.

But an earlier attempt toobtain a nationwide ban on bur-qas in public places was rejectedby Swiss parliament in 2012.Cantonal assemblies in Basel,

Bern, Schwyz, Solothurn andFribourg have also rejected simi-lar restrictions.

France was the first country inEurope to pass a law banningfull-face veils in public, in 2010,and Belgium later followed suit.

The Ticino vote was launchedunder Switzerland’s traditionaldirect democracy, which allowsproposals to be put to the pub-lic if enough signatures are col-lected.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The federal panel that is review-ing a controversial plan to burynuclear waste on the shores ofLake Huron is facing a challengeto its own impartiality over con-cerns that Ottawa’s top nuclearregulator essentially endorsed theproject at a meeting with its pro-moters.

In a submission to be presentedMonday, a former provincial law-yer says Ontario Power Genera-tion held “illegal and secretmeetings” with municipal offi-cials and senior officials from theCanadian Nuclear Safety Commis-sion, which is running the review.

Rod McLeod is a former deputyminister of the environment anddeputy solicitor-general in Ontar-io and is a summer resident inSaugeen Shores, a communitynear the Bruce Power nuclear sitewhere the deep geological reposi-tory (DGR) for low- and interme-diate-level waste would be built.

Mr. McLeod is scheduled toappear at a federal panel hearinglooking into the environmentalimpacts and safety issues sur-rounding OPG’s $1-billion plan,which has divided the commun-

ity and raised concerns as faraway as Michigan and Ohio overthreats to the Great Lakes.

In his written submission, heargues the CNSC presidentMichael Binder has fundamental-ly undermined the process bymeeting with OPG and local may-ors in 2009 and speaking in sup-port of the project. According tonotes taken by an OPG employeeof the meeting, Dr. Binder spokeabout opposition to the projectand warned it was growing. Hewas quoted as saying, “Youhaven’t seen anything yet.”

As he left, he said he hopedtheir next meeting “would be at aribbon-cutting ceremony” for theDGR, according to the notes.

Mr. McLeod said it is clear Dr.Binder had made up his mindabout the DGR. Because membersof the review panel received theirmandate from him, they “arenecessarily and unavoidablytainted by the reasonably appre-hended bias or even closed mindof the president,” he wrote.

Dr. Binder refused to commenton the allegations, or his attend-ance at the meeting with CNSCofficial Kelly McGee, who is nowworking for the review panel.

But commission spokesmanAurèle Gervais said they were in-vited to attend by the local may-ors, who formed a communityconsultation group that workedwith OPG, and that CNSC oftenaccept invitations to discuss regu-latory matters, regardless of theposition of the hosts.

“The fact that President Binderand Kelly McGee attended themeeting will have no bearing onthe outcome of the hearing,” hesaid in an e-mailed statement.“The three independent membersof the joint review panel are theonly individuals that will be delib-erating on the matter and prepar-ing a report for the [federal]Minister of the Environment.”

In an interview, Mr. McLeod saidthe panel should either cancel thehearing and find new commis-sioners, or hand the entire matterback to the federal government tofind a safe solution for dealingwith nuclear waste rather thanleaving it in the hands of OPG andthe local mayors.

He insisted he personally re-mains “pro-nuclear,” but opposesthe plan.

Opponents of the projectaccused the mayors in the local

communities of jumping into bedwith OPG several years ago whenthey signed community-benefitagreements that provide $35-mil-lion over 30 years to municipalcoffers in lieu of taxes, on the con-dition of their support for theDGR. Since then, OPG and the fed-eral Nuclear Waste ManagementOrganization have met regularlywith the mayors in closed-doorsessions. Mr. McLeod criticizedthose meetings as “secret and ille-gal” because they did notprovidepublic notice or keep minutes.

In an interview this summer,Saugeen Shores Mayor MikeSmith rejected the idea that therewere “secret” meetings. OPG offi-cials “have been in our commun-ities since 2005; they met withservice clubs, the Rotaries, andanybody who wanted a briefingthey were there,” he said. “Andour meetings were just part ofthat.”

OPG spokesman Neal Kelly saidFriday the provincially ownedutility held “hundreds of meet-ings with thousands of people”over the past several years, andthat the meetings attended by themayors were information ses-sions, not decision-making ones.

The federal government haspledged money for a subwayextension in Toronto’s east end,further muddying the waters onan already confused transit plan-ning process.

The announcement includedno information on the amount offunding or any conditions thatmay be attached. More details areexpected Monday, setting thestage for another battle overwhere in Scarborough the transitline should run and raising ques-tions about Ontario’s plan to goit alone with a self-funded sub-way along a different route of itsown choosing.

“[Finance Minister Jim Flaher-ty] and I, subject of course to thenormal approvals process, haveset aside funds to ensure thefinancing of Toronto’s plan forthe Scarborough subway exten-sion,” Mr. Harper said at whathad been billed as a photo op-portunity. “I think this is goodnews for Toronto commuters,who obviously continue to facethe challenges of gridlock.”

He was joined by Mayor RobFord, a long-time proponent ofsubways, who was beaming as heleft the event. Also on displaywas a map showing the route fora Scarborough extension that re-sembled the plan approved bycity council this summer. TheOntario government prefers a dif-ferent route.

“Pleased all levels of govern-ment – federal, provincial, mu-nicipal – are working together tobuild Council-approved transitfor Toronto,” Toronto TransitCommission chair Karen Stintztweeted in response, adding lat-er: “I applaud the Federal gov’tfor recognizing the importance ofbuilding the Scar. subway toSheppard. TO needs a transit net-work.”

But the announcement raises anumber of questions, includingwhether Ottawa’s contributionwill amount to the $660-millioncouncil said it needed, when itbacked the plan this summer,and whether this is new moneyor funds taken from anothertransit project.

There was no opportunity toask these questions of Mr. Harperas reporters were kept out of theannouncement. Follow-up inqui-ries to the Prime Minister’sOffice, the mayor’s press secre-tary and Mr. Flaherty’s office

were not answered.Further complicating the issue,

the provincial government saidafter the council vote that it hadwaited long enough and wouldmove ahead unilaterally. Theprovince’s plan – to build a shor-ter subway extension along a dif-ferent route than the onesupported by council and nowthe federal government – is beingstudied by the TTC and a feasibil-ity report is expected this week.

Provincial Transportation Min-ister Glen Murray has repeatedlycastigated Ottawa’s level of trans-

it funding. In recent weeks, hehas said that federal support for aScarborough subway extensioncould allow it to go further. Buthe insists the route is firm.

“If other governments bringmoney to the table there is lotsto invest in,” Mr. Murray saidSunday evening in a series of textmessages. “We have laid out ourcommitment to extend the sub-way from Kennedy to [Scarbo-rough City Centre]. If some gov’twants to add to our commitmentin Scarborough that is goodnews.”

But Mr. Harper’s backing ofcouncil’s route has effectivelyreignited the battle over whethermunicipal or provincial politi-cians are in charge of transitplanning in Toronto.

Also, lurking behind all thetransit posturing of recentmonths is a still-valid legal agree-ment to build light rail in Scarbo-rough.

This contract was signed by thecity, TTC and regional transitagency Metrolinx and most ob-servers agree it can be changedonly through mutual consent.

With Prime Minister Stephen Har-per and European CommissionPresident Jose Manuel Barrosonow handling negotiations direct-ly, there is increasing confidencewithin the the Conservativegovernment that a trade agree-ment between Canada and theEuropean Union will be in placebefore the end of the year.

The Comprehensive Economicand Trade Agreement, if ratified,would be the most importantadvance in Canadian trade in ageneration. It could also helprevive the fortunes of a govern-ment that has seen little in theway of good news for manymonths.

When Mr. Harper and Mr. Barro-so met earlier this month on thesidelines of the G20 in St. Peters-burg, they resolved to negotiate“at the highest level,” accordingto a senior government officialspeaking on background. Theirrespective staffs are now at workattempting to bridge the remain-ing gaps impeding an agreement.

Such leader-to-leader talks arethe best, and perhaps only, hope

for nailing down an accord thatwas supposed to have been con-cluded by the end of last year.

Disagreements over meat anddairy exports, government pro-curement contracts, financialservices and patent protection onpharmaceuticals have stymiedthe deal.

With the Europeans launchingfree-trade talks with the UnitedStates, there was growing fearthat the Conservative govern-ment had let the opportunity of aCanada-EU accord slip away.

Coupled with setbacks to theproposed Keystone XL and North-ern Gateway oil pipelines, itseemed every major economicinitiative of the Conservativegovernment was dead in thewater.

But the Canada-EU talks werenot at a complete impasse. Euro-pean leaders were presented witha set of proposals in July thatnegotiators from both sides hadworked on and that were meantto bridge the remaining differenc-es.

Politicians in Europe takeAugust off. They returned withtheir responses to the proposals

in September. At the G20, Mr. Har-per and Mr. Barroso agreed to in-tervene personally to settle anyremaining areas of disagreement.Advisers to the Prime Ministerand the EU President are nowspeaking with each other directly,in preparation for a final accord.

There is some talk in Ottawathat a framework agreementcould be the centrepiece of theThrone Speech that will launch anew session of Parliament on Oct.16. But since any proposed frame-work agreement would still haveto be sent to the provinces forsignoff, a more realistic timeframe is late October or Novem-ber.

And it is still not certain thatthere will be a deal. The Conserva-tives played down a press reportthat the key stumbling block ofsetting a quota for Canadian beefexports has been overcome. Afinal deal on agriculture, thegovernment official cautioned, isstill not in place.

But the two sides are closeenough that all remaining obsta-cles appear surmountable. If so, itwill be the second major piece ofgood news for the government

since the summer.Jim Flaherty unveiled the

framework for a new nationalsecurities regulator, last week, adream of the Finance Ministerthat appeared to have been scut-tled by opposition from someprovinces and a ruling from theSupreme Court that such a regu-lator would intrude on provincialjurisdiction.

The new proposal, which Ontar-io and British Columbia havesigned on to, would be jointlymanaged with the provinces. If itsurvives any legal challenges,then the new regulator would cutthrough at least some of the skeinof securities regulations acrossCanada.

A Throne Speech that trumpet-ed the securities regulator and, atthe least, offered highly optimis-tic language on a free-trade agree-ment with Europe could helpreset a Conservative agenda besetby failures and frustration anddistracted by the Senate scandal.

But first, Mr. Harper, Mr. Barrosoand their aides need to bring thetalks home. After more than fouryears of those talks, there can’treally be much more left to say.

Liberal MPs and senators hope tobegin publishing certain expenseclaims next month, a move theparty hopes will trigger broaderdisclosure of parliamentarians’spending patterns.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeauhad said the party would finalizethe plan last week and “will startposting [expenses] immediately,”but the first batch remains a fewweeks away. It will include allLiberal MPs’ and senators’ traveland hospitality expenses be-tween Sept. 16 and Sept. 30, andis expected to be released aroundThanksgiving. The expenses willthen be released quarterly, andthe batch including October,November and December is

expected online by the end ofJanuary next year, Liberal HouseLeader Dominic LeBlanc said inan interview.

Essentially, the party is holdingall its MPs and senators to thesame standard as cabinet minis-ters. The Liberals also continue tocall on the House of Commonsstaff to take over the task of dis-closure, saying the same stan-dard should be applied widely.

“We’re prepared to look at com-mon sense ways to go further.But in order to ensure that it iswithout technical problems, wedo need the House of Commonsadministration to participate.That’s the best way to ensureyou’re comparing apples toapples and that you have a veryhigh level of reliability,” Mr.

LeBlanc said.Liberal Senate Leader James

Cowan welcomes the move andsaid he doesn’t expect it willchange senators’ behaviour.

“I assume people will be care-ful, but one would assumethey’ve been careful for sometime,” he said, adding the moveis popular in caucus at a timewhen questions continue to swirlabout the expenses of senatorsPatrick Brazeau, Mike Duffy andPamela Wallin, as well as those offormer senator Mac Harb. “Ithink it’s been very positive. Ithink it’s been well-received,” Mr.Cowan said.

The rules around what is con-sidered “Senate business” – anexpense category – continue tobe murky, but Mr. Cowan said it’s

up to each senator to makeclaims, which are then reviewedby Senate administration. “Thereare judgment calls. Life is full ofjudgment calls,” Mr. Cowan said.

Both Mr. Cowan and Mr.LeBlanc said the party is open tochanges, including broader dis-closure. “We hope the other par-ties will follow, and then that itmight become, institutionalized,if you like. But in the meantime,we’re going ahead and doing itourselves,” Mr. Cowan said.

Conservative Senator DougBlack already posts all hisexpenses online. Another Con-servative senator, Bob Runciman,pledged earlier this month torelease his own. Those expensesare now expected to be postedonline by Oct. 1, his office said.

Thousands of people bravedpouring rain in Vancouver Sun-day to take part in a reconcili-ation walk marking the sadhistory of residential schools inCanada, erupting in a raucouscheer as the daughter of Ameri-can civil rights hero Martin Lu-ther King urged all Canadians tomove forward and heal.

Bernice King told the crowd notto give up on the process of pro-gress.

“My father said something verypowerful about progress. He said,human progress is neither auto-matic, nor inevitable,” she saidfrom a stage set up at the start ofthe march, which drew a hugecrowd that some estimates putmore than 10,000. “Even a super-ficial look at history reveals thatno social advance rolls in on thewheels of inevitability. Every steptowards the goal of justicerequires sacrifice, suffering andstruggle.”

A Baptist minister herself, Ms.King inherited the gift of power-ful oratory, and the crowd erupt-ed in raucous cheers as sheoutlined her vision for a Canadathat will “be the great nation thatit’s called to be.”

“This is no time for apathy orcomplacency. This is a time forvigorous and positive action,” Ms.King said.

“This requires leadership actionon all fronts in Canada, from po-litical and government, corporate… educational and community

leadership, because, as I said, weare all in this together. We aretied in an inescapable network ofmutuality, caught in a single gar-ment of destiny and what affectsone person here in Canada – nomatter their background – direct-ly affects all indirectly.”

The four-kilometre walkthrough downtown Vancouvercame at the end of a week ofhearings by the federal Truth andReconciliation Commission, afact-finding commission set up aspart of the settlement betweenthe Canadian government, vic-tims and various churches whooperated residential schools – thelast of which closed its doors in1996.

The gathering in Vancouver isthe sixth of seven gatheringsacross the country and will cul-minate in a final event in Edmon-ton next year, as well as a finalreport by the commission.

The walk – the first reconcili-ation walk in Canada – and sever-al other events were organized byReconciliation Canada, an inde-pendent collaboration betweenthe Indian Residential SchoolSurvivors Society and Tides Can-ada Initiatives Society to engageall Canadians in the reconcili-ation process.

The group organized the light-ing of a fire of reconciliation tostart the week of hearings by thecommission, and held a canoegathering of all nations last weekat Vancouver’s False Creek.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Canada has bolstered diplomaticsecurity and issued warnings tovisitors in Kenya after the bloodyhostage-taking in Nairobi.

“At current, we’re obviously stillon high alert for our diplomaticstaff and we’re going to take everyreasonable measure we can tosecure their safety,” Foreign Min-ister John Baird Baird said Sundayin Toronto at an unrelated ap-pearance. “Obviously, because theincident is still ongoing, the ca-pacity to be able to look at ac-countability and what we mightdo to support the Kenyan govern-ment, that phase hasn’t startedyet.”

A spokesman for the Depart-ment of Foreign Affairs, Tradeand Development said in ane-mail that “appropriate” securitymeasures had been taken for dip-lomatic staff, but would not bemore specific.

In an updated warning postedSunday morning, the departmenturged visitors to “remain highlyvigilant and avoid public places inthe next 24-48 hours.” The warn-ing also advised against non-essential travel to Eastleigh, aneighbourhood of Nairobi thathas been the site of several bombblasts in the past year.

In a statement, Prime MinisterStephen Harper said such “acts of

terror cannot be allowed to gounpunished.”

“Canadian staff at our missionare offering Kenyan authoritiesevery possible assistance to bringthe perpetrators of this heinousattack to justice,” he added.

Ottawa says it will fully supportany investigation into whetherCanadian citizens were involvedin the weekend’s bloody attackagainst a shopping mall in Kenya.

Two Twitter accounts claimingto be linked to al-Shabaab, the al-Qaeda-affiliated movementwhose militants stormed Nairo-bi’s Westgate mall, said Sundaythat the terrorist team included anumber of Americans and Euro-peans and a 24-year-old manfrom Ontario.

“We are aware of the reports butdo not comment on operationalmatters of national security,” Rick

Roth, Mr. Baird’s director of com-munications, said in an e-mailedstatement. “Our government willprovide its full support to anyinvestigation of a terrorist act thatdoes or may include Canadiancitizens. Terrorists, regardless oftheir citizenship, must be pun-ished for their cowardice and de-pravity.”

There were conflicting mediaaccounts over the authenticity ofthe two Twitter accounts, one inArabic and one in English, whichwas quickly suspended. CNN said“a source within al-Shabaab” hadconfirmed the Twitter posts,while journalists with The Associ-ated Press and al Jazeera saidtheir al-Shabaab sources toldthem the accounts and nameswere fake.

Al-Shabaab has been known torecruit in the Somalian diaspora.Five young Somali-Canadian menjoined in 2009 and two years latera sixth was arrested as he wasabout to board a flight at TorontoPearson International Airport.The name that appeared on Twit-ter Sunday didn’t match those ofthe previous six Canadianrecruits.

Saed Rageah, a Toronto imamwho knew the previous group ofsix, said he had not heard of thename listed on Twitter. AhmedHussen, president of the Cana-dian Somali Congress, also said hewas not familiar with the name.

The deadly attack and hostagecrisis at a shopping mall in Ken-ya this weekend threatens todrag East Africa’s largest econo-my deeper into the war againstal-Qaeda-linked militants inneighbouring Somalia.

The death toll rose to 68 after asiege of the Westgate mall in thecapital, Nairobi. Somalia’s al-Sha-baab militia claimed responsibil-ity for the attack.

The attack fulfilled al-Sha-baab’s threat to retaliate againstKenya for deploying troops twoyears ago in Somalia to supportAfrican Union peacekeepers andgovernment forces fighting themilitia. It threatens Kenya’s rep-utation as a beacon of stabilityin a volatile region that hasmade it East Africa’s hub forcompanies, including ToyotaMotor Corp., International Busi-ness Machines Corp., GeneralElectric Co., Google Inc. and theAfrican headquarters for the

United Nations.“This is a stake through the

heart of the new African middleclass, and Westgate will shakethe regional-hub status to itscore,” said Aly-Khan Satchu,chief executive officer of RichManagement Ltd., a Nairobi-based financial adviser, in ane-mailed reply to questions. “TheNairobi economy, which is 50 percent of Kenya’s GDP, is heavilydependent on multinational cor-porations and the economies ofup-market suburbs.”

Kenya’s prestige has alreadybeen shaken by InternationalCriminal Court indictments ofPresident Uhuru Kenyatta andhis deputy, William Ruto, fortheir alleged involvement incrimes against humanity. Themen are accused of organizingviolence following a disputedelection in 2007, charges bothdeny.

Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta Inter-national Airport is sub-SaharanAfrica’s fourth-busiest air hub,and the country may start pro-ducing its first oil next year after

a commercially viable crude findby Tullow Oil PLC. The govern-ment is planning to issue its firstEurobond to raise between $1.5-billion (U.S.) and $2-billion byDecember.

The anarchy in Somalia thatfollowed the removal of dictatorMohamed Siad Barre in 1991 hasgiven al-Qaeda a base to set upoperations for eastern Africa.The Kenyan mall attack was thedeadliest assault in the countrysince the 1998 bombing of theU.S. embassy in downtown Nai-robi that killed 213 people, whichthe U.S. has said was organizedby al-Qaeda.

Kenya’s 700-kilometre easternborder is unstable: from thesouth near the Somali port ofKismayo that’s in striking dis-tance of its white-sand beaches,to the arid northeast, which hasbeen hit by bombings, kidnap-pings and clan violence over pol-itics, land and water.

“If the thought was this was tointimidate us, it has only in-creased our commitment to fightand to win this war,” Mr. Kenyat-

ta said yesterday. “We shall notrelent on the war on terror.”

The Kenyan authorities dis-patched troops to Somalia in Oc-tober, 2011, after they blamed aseries of kidnappings of foreign-ers and the murder of a Britishtourist in Kenya on al-Shabaab,which denied involvement. Tou-rism competes with tea and hor-ticulture as the biggest source ofthe country’s foreign exchange.More than half a million mainlySomali refugees live in the UN-run Dadaab camp in northeast-ern Kenya.

At the time, the Kenyan armysaid it planned to end its inter-vention by that Christmas.

“In war, the exit strategy isalways more difficult than theentry strategy,” Rocky Hitchcock,65, a senior consultant for Nairo-bi-based KK Security said byphone Saturday. “If Kenya was topull out of Somalia it means it isbeing dictated to by a terroristgroup, it would be admittingdefeat.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Kenya was also reportedlyreceiving help from counter-

terrorism advisers from Israel, theUnited States and Britain.

Most of the victims at the mallwere Kenyans, but among thedead were two Canadians and anumber of other nationalities, in-cluding citizens of France, Britain,India, China and South Africa,and renowned Ghanaian poetKofi Awoonor. Two other Cana-dians and a permanent residentof Canada were injured.

Squads of gunmen stormed theupmarket Westgate mall at lunch-time on Saturday, terrorizingshoppers by spraying automaticfire and throwing grenades. Survi-vors said the gunmen asked someshoppers if they were Muslim – ifthey could prove it, they were letfree; if not, they were shot. Ken-yan police and military went fromstore to store, freeing people hid-ing from the attackers and gettinghelp for the injured.

In all, said Kenyan PresidentUhuru Kenyatta, more than 1,000people were rescued.

Somalia’s most powerful mili-tant group, al-Shabaab, claimedresponsibility for the attack, say-ing it was revenge for Kenya’s in-vasion of southern Somalia in2011. Some of the attackers report-edly shouted that Kenya hadkilled Somalis and now it wastime for payback.

Analysts said the attack was asign of weakness by al-Shabaab,which has been pushed out of themajor Somali cities of Mogadishuand Kismayo in the past twoyears. But it was also representeda shift in strategy, with Shabaabnow moving towards guerrillaand terrorist tactics after losing itsdirect clashes with a coalition ofAfrican troops in Mogadishu.

Mr. Kenyatta said in an addressto Kenya that his nephew and hisfiancée were among the dead.“These are young, lovely people Ipersonally knew and loved,” Mr.Kenyatta said. “I assure Kenyansthat we have as good a chance tosuccessfully neutralize the terror-ists as we can hope for,” he said.

But a military spokesman for al-Shabaab said the group had noth-ing to fear. “Where will UhuruKenyatta get the power withwhich he threatened us?” saidSheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab.

As the standoff entered its thirdday Monday, Kenya’s militaryannounced it had gained controlof most of the luxury mall andrescued most of the hostages, butit also confirmed that some peo-ple – as many as 10, according toone army spokesman – were stillin the hands of the estimated 10to 15 heavily armed attackers.

Mr. Valli said he was working athis office while his wife and sonhad gone to the mall for lunch onSaturday at 11 a.m., shortly beforethe assault began. The attackersthrew grenades, opened fire ondozens of shoppers and took hos-tages at a large supermarket inthe mall. The last that he heardfrom his wife was a text messageat 6 p.m. on Saturday. “We aresafe,” it said. Since then, he hasheard nothing.

There had been warnings formore than a year that the Somalimilitant group was planning anattack on a high-profile target inNairobi, possibly a luxury hotel.The Westgate mall, which attractsabout 10,000 shoppers on week-ends, had posted security guardsat its entrances, but the attackerswere quick to shoot the guards orsweep past them.

Don Juma, a 27-year-old Kenyantaxi driver who was inside themall when the attack began, saidthe gunmen were highly organiz-ed and seemed to be running de-liberately toward the mostcrowded parts of the shoppingmall. They wore black masks andmilitary-style uniforms and beganshooting at people in the mall im-mediately, he said.

He saw more than 10 attackersjumping out of three cars at theentrance, carrying automatic ri-fles and grenades, with ammuni-tion belts around their waists.

“They were well-trained – theyknew what they were doing. Theyjust started shooting, without say-ing anything. They were shootinganyone. It was terrible, very ter-rible. I’ve never gone throughsuch a thing in my life. It was likea movie.”

He saw many people shot, in-cluding a man who was shot inthe neck. “He died on the spot,”Mr. Juma said. Mr. Juma hid onthe floor behind a pillar, and thenmanaged to escape from the mall.“I was lucky.”

Nahashon Mwangi was at workwhen he received a desperatetelephone call from his son,pleading with him to rescue himfrom imminent death.

“Dad, I have been shot in theneck and hand. I am bleeding.Come and help me please,” his21-year-old son begged.

Mr. Mwangi said he jumped inhis car and sped across Nairobi tothe Westgate shopping mall,where a group of Somali Islamistgunmen had stormed in to killshoppers and staff.

Stuck in Nairobi’s traffic log-jam, he called his son again.

“Don’t call me again,” was thereply. “I just want you to get meout of here. If they hear me talk-ing, they are going to kill me!”

“It took me about an hour toaccess the area,” Mr. Mwangirecounted. “I was crying andpleading with the police to savemy son. I remember shoutinglike a kid, crying and crying, butthey wouldn’t let me through.”

Relief finally came five hourslater, when his injured son wasamong a group of people locatedand evacuated by security forceswho were sweeping the mallshop by shop.

He was rushed to Nairobi’s AgaKhan University Hospital andwas undergoing emergency sur-gery.

“I pray that he will be OK,” theshocked father said. “Why wouldthese people do this to us?”

Another victim, mall workerZipporah Wanjiru, emerged fromthe ordeal alive, but in a state oftotal shock.

“They were speaking some lan-guage I could not understand,”she said of the attackers. “I couldnot understand anything – butthe sound of their voices wasscary.”

Ms. Wanjiru says she hid undera table together with other five

colleagues.“They were shooting indiscrim-

inately, it was like a movie seeingpeople sprayed with bullets likethat,” she said, bursting intotears. “I have never witnessedthis in my life. Only God can healus and our country.”

Cafe waiter Titus Alede said itwas a “miracle from God” hemanaged to escape the approach-ing gunmen.

“I was serving a client andthese men came. They were notafter money as they were shoot-ing people without asking foranything. I remember them say-ing ‘you killed our people inSomalia, it is our time to pay youback,’ ” he recounted.

“It was a miracle from God,” hesaid of his escape.

Eighteen-year-old Umar Ahmedwas enjoying a relaxed Saturdaytrip to a Nairobi shopping mallwhen gunmen stormed in and allhell broke lose.

“I was at Westgate Mall rooftopat the parking, and all of suddenI heard screams and gunshots allover the place,” Mr. Ahmedrecounted.

She was fatally wounded –the first Canadian diplomat

killed since 2006, when Glyn Ber-ry died in a roadside bombing inAfghanistan. Mr. Munk wasinjured.

“Annemarie was one of ourbright young lights, and hers wasa career brimming with promise,”Tim Edwards, president of theProfessional Association of For-eign Service Officers union, saidin a statement Sunday. “Today wegrieve the loss not only of a warmand intelligent friend and col-league, but a lifetime’s potentialtragically unfilled.”

Vancouver businessman NaguibDamji also died in the attack. Mr.Damji, a married 59-year-old fa-ther of three, travelled frequentlybetween Canada and Kenya, saidfamily friend Shakeela Begum.

Ms. Begum said the family hadyet to confirm exactly how Mr.Damji was killed.

She said his family is in shock.“They can’t believe he was herejust in early August – his last visitto Vancouver.”

In a brief statement, the familysaid they are “deeply saddened”by the incident, and that theirprayers were with the loved onesof those affected. They alsorequested their privacy duringthis “devastating time.”

Ms. Begum declined to talkabout what kind of business Mr.Damji had in Africa.

She said the family is planningfor a funeral in B.C. next week-

end. “He was a great person, avery happy-go-lucky person,” shesaid.

Two other Canadians were alsoamong the wounded, accordingto the Department of ForeignAffairs, Trade and Development.Their names were not released.

Ms. Desloges followed in thefootsteps of her parents andjoined the foreign service. “Sheunderstood well the challengesand hazards of diplomatic life,but believed resolutely in itsimportance and looked forwardto a long career,” Mr. Edwardssaid.

Over the past year, she’d beenprocessing refugee claims fromEast Africa, with Mr. Edwards esti-

mating that Ms. Desloges and asmall team of four helped thou-sands of refugees resettle andbegin a new life in Canada.“Annemarie was sharp and me-ticulous in her work – a true pro-fessional – and expressed herselfwith a poise and confidencewhich belied her youth,” Mr.Edwards said.

Foreign Affairs Minister JohnBaird paid tribute to the diplo-mat. “We have no doubt thatAnnemarie touched the lives ofmany, and it is for that, that shewill always be remembered,” hesaid.

Ms. Desloges is survived by herhusband, who is a Dutch citizenand Canadian permanent resi-dent; parents Michel and Made-leine, who live in the Ottawaarea; sister Julie, who is also inthe foreign service, and brother-in-law Laurent. Mr. Edwards saidMs. Desloges will be rememberedfor her generosity and sense ofhumour, and that she and herhusband formed a “tight teammanaging the ups and downs oflife abroad.”

“Our hearts go out to Robert ashe copes with his unspeakableloss and recovers from injuriessustained in the attack,” Mr.Edwards said, saying the foreignservice is devastated to mournone of its own. “We pay tribute toher optimism, to her commit-ment to country and to theachievements of a career whichended much too early.”

The frantic phone call came froma close friend staying the week-end with my family: She wasinside Nairobi’s most upscalemall and could hear gunshots.Her husband and 2-year-olddaughter were inside too, but shedidn’t know where. Whereshould she go?

Lyndsay called my wife twominutes after the first blast. Itwas 12:40 p.m. Saturday. Lyndsay,who was at a top-floor bookstore,initially thought it was a robbery.I rushed from home to the shop-ping centre, just over a kilometreaway. The scene was eerie: Gun-men had shot up cars at themall’s entrance.

Lyndsay’s husband, Nick, waswith their daughter Julia in thedownstairs cafe that appeared tobe the initial attack point. Hescooped up his toddler and ran.They ended up being pushed intoa department store storage areaand would stay there the nextthree hours.

Lyndsay was in a third-floormovie theatre when she calledme again. A short while later themovie theatre group – about 20

strangers related by terror – tookan emergency exit up to the roof.

“Jason, can you make sure thepolice know there are civilianson the roof?” she asked me.

I told a police officer. He didn’tseem to care. The trick is tellingthe right police officer. I asked anAssociated Press colleague who isKenyan to tell a high-ranking po-lice official he knows. “This isn’tstrictly work-related,” I told him.“But it could save lives.”

I returned to my own work as areporter, suppressing my fearsthat my friends could be killed.

Nick either texted or called me.He was in the back room withJulia but unsure what to do. Did Ihave any information? I texted orcalled him several times but Ifeared that his phone would ringwhen gunmen were nearby.

Plainclothes cops helped Lynd-say and the roof hostages escape,but husband Nick and daughterJulia were still inside.

Three hours after that first gre-nade exploded, Nick sprintedwith Julia to safety. A news pho-tographer snapped a photo ofthat sprins.

By then I had taken a breakfrom my journalist’s role and waswith Lyndsay. I saw Nick andJulia approach. I motioned toLyndsay, whose eyes filled withtears.

BECOMING THE STORY

A l-Shabaab is the SomaliIslamic extremist group that

has claimed responsibility for theattack on Kenya’s premier shop-ping mall that killed dozens of ci-vilians. Here is a primer on thegroup:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

What is al-Shabaab?

Al-Shabaab is an extremist Islam-ic terrorist force that grew out ofthe anarchy that crippled Soma-lia after warlords ousted a long-time dictator in 1991. Its namemeans “The Youth” in Arabic,and it was a splinter youth wingof a weak Islamic Courts Uniongovernment created in 2006 toestablish a fundamentalist Islam-ic state in the East African nation.

Some of the insurgents’ foreignfighters are from the Middle Eastwith experience in the Iraq andAfghanistan conflicts. Others areyoung, raw recruits from Somalicommunities in North Americaand Europe. U.S. officials have ex-pressed fears that militants flee-ing Afghanistan and Pakistancould seek refuge in Somalia.

Where is al-Shabaab?

Al-Shabaab won control ofalmost all of Somalia’s capital,Mogadishu, in 2006, and heldlarge swaths of central andsouthern Somalia until a UnitedNations-backed force from theAfrican Union, including soldiersfrom neighbouring Kenya andUganda, pushed the militants outof the city in 2011 and out of thevital port of Kismayo in 2012.

The rebel group still controlsmany rural areas in Somaliawhere it imposes strict sharia law,including stoning to death wom-en accused of adultery andamputating the hands of accusedthieves. In addition, it has stageddeadly suicide bomb attacks onMogadishu and Kismayo.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

How many fighters does it have?

No one knows for sure, but al-Shabaab is believed to commandthousands of fighters, includinghundreds of foreigners.

Why are they attacking Kenya?

Al-Shabaab has warned for twoyears that it will attack Kenya inretaliation for the country’s lead-ing role in sending troops toSomalia in 2011 and effectively re-ducing the extremist group’spower in Somalia. Al-Shabaabalso claimed responsibility forthe July, 2010, suicide bombingsin Kampala, Uganda, that killedmore than 70 people watching aWorld Cup final soccer match at arestaurant popular among for-eigners. Ugandan troops also arefighting in the African force inSomalia.

The group has staged ongoingmajor attacks within Somalia foryears.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Al-Qaeda links?

Al-Shabaab and al-Qaeda in Feb-ruary, 2012, announced their alli-ance, with al-Shabaab leaderMukhtar Abu Zubair pledging al-legiance to the global terrormovement. Al-Qaeda’s 2002attacks on an Israeli-owned Ken-

yan resort in Mombasa and anattempted attack on a plane car-rying Israeli tourists are believedto have been planned by an al-Qaeda cell in Somalia. U.S. offi-cials believe some of the al-Qae-da terrorists who bombed theUnited States embassies in Kenyaand Tanzania in 1998 were givenrefuge in Somalia.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Where does al-Shabaab’s moneycome from?

Before African troops moved in,al-Shabaab was making a steadyincome from duties and feeslevied at ports and airports aswell as extorting taxes on domes-tic produce and demanding jihadicontributions. A United Nationsreport estimated al-Shabaab’s in-come in 2011 at between $70-mil-lion (U.S.) and $100-million.

It has lost most of that revenuesince it was forced out of Mogad-ishu and Kismayo. Al-Shabaab’sonly ally in Africa is Eritrea –which backs it to counter its ene-my Ethiopia, which also hastroops in Somalia. Eritrea denies

charges that it helps arm al-Sha-baab.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Fractured group?

Al-Shabaab is believed to havefractured over its alliance with al-Qaeda, which caused a rift thathas grown between core Shabaabfighters who believe their strug-gle should focus on Somalia, andgrowing tensions with foreignfighters who want to plot aregional terrorist strategy.

Analysts think the attack onNairobi’s Westgate mall could in-dicate the extremists are winningthat internal struggle. Furtherdivisions are believed to havebeen caused by the group’s deci-sion to ban foreign aid organiza-tions from operating in thecountry and providing food tosave millions of victims of con-flict-induced famine. That deci-sion was announced in 2011,when the United Nations saidSomalia had the world’s highestchild mortality rate.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

SAVETHATVALVE. THE FIRST TIME.

Developed here in 1987, this life-saving

procedure is today known throughout

the world as “The David Procedure.”

The Peter Munk Cardiac Centre –

Proudly Canadian.

Young people suffering from an enlarged

blood vessel near the heart – an aortic

aneurysm – faced the risky procedure

of having to surgically replace their aortic

valve with an artificial one.

Dr. Tirone David, a heart surgeon,

developed a better way. Employing

a Dacron graft, this renowned surgeon

made it possible to re-implant the

patient’s own valve. This breakthrough

led to dramatically better outcomes

for the patient.

No longer content to fight inthe Somali countryside, these

young men were bent on takingback the Somali capital, Mogad-ishu, lost in 2011 when AfricanUnion troops took control, and es-tablishing their Islamic state.

At the same time, rival leaderAhmed Abdi Godane consolidatedhis hold over the impressionablegroup, having sworn obedience toal-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahi-ri. Unlike Mr. Aweys, who empha-sized the Somali character of hisorganization and the nationalnature of his goals, the Afghan-trained Mr. Godane is comfortablewith taking support, and orders,from outside.

With al-Qaeda facing setbacks inAfghanistan, Pakistan and, mostrecently, in Syria, where the Westhas made clear its comfort withkeeping Bashar al-Assad in power,

leaders of the organization andtheir benefactors in the Gulf statesare ramping up their radicalism.They want to see it applied in oth-er parts of the Islamic region, saidMr. Crooke – in Yemen, Iraq, theMaghreb, Nigeria. Most recentlythere has been a push in Egypt’slawless Sinai Peninsula, withattacks by a group called Ansar al-Maqdis, believed to be led by Mo-hammed al-Zawahiri, brother ofthe al-Qaeda leader, and now acampaign in Somalia.

“You’re seeing this push wherev-er radical Sunni Islam faces thosethey see as apostates, be they Shia,Alawi, Sufi or what have you,” saidMr. Crooke. Indeed, an attack bySunni extremists on a church inPeshawar, Pakistan, also this pastweekend, killed 78 Christians.

This region-wide effort is be-lieved by observers such as Mr.

Crooke to be part of a larger planby certain elements in the Gulfwho seek to regain lost influence.

They know that “the most suc-cessful military groups are thoseaffiliated with al-Qaeda,” henoted. “And money that used togo to Afghanistan and Pakistannow is going to groups like al-Sha-baab.”

Kenya’s President has vowedbloody recrimination for the Nai-robi attack, but this is the lastthing Kenya or the African Unionshould do, Mr. Crooke said. “It willonly inspire people to support al-Shabaab and mobilize their fight-ers,” he said.

“Much better, they should usetheir intelligence and carry outprecision assaults on the leader-ship,” said Mr. Crooke, himself aformer MI5 operative in Afghani-stan.

‘Co-operative,” rather than “national,” is the circumspect

adjective for the nascent Canadian securities regulator, but

its creators deserve praise for their persistence, in particular, Jim

Flaherty, the federal Minister of Finance, together with Michael de

Jong and Charles Sousa, the finance ministers of British Columbia

and Ontario.

The regulation of the Canadian capital markets will no longer be

so balkanized. The two large provinces that are joining are the

home of about two-thirds of the Canadian capital market. The

smaller provinces, such as the Maritimes, and all three territories

are likely to adhere to the plan. As for Alberta, Premier Alison Red-

ford and Doug Horner, the Finance Minister, expressed surprise at

the news of the proposed commission.

Quebec’s position is not ambiguous. Especially with its present

Parti Québécois government, it will not join in the near future.

The weight of the new regulator should, however, be able to exert

a certain gravitational force on the country as a whole, and it will

have a stronger international presence than the sum of the 13 exist-

ing Canadian securities commissions.

In December, 2011, the Supreme Court of Canada took too narrow

a view of the division of legislative powers in the Constitution Act,

1867, but the justices at least recognized that a national body creat-

ed by a federal statute could deal with “systemic risk” to the Cana-

dian economy.

Consequently, the plan is that there will be a federal statute con-

cerning criminal matters and systemic risks, while the member

provinces will pass a uniform statute dealing with all the other

matters that the provincial commissions now attend to.

Consequently, the threat by Alexandre Cloutier, the Intergovern-

mental Affairs Minister of Quebec, to challenge the new regulator

under the Constitution, is empty. The design put forward by Mr.

Flaherty and his two provincial colleagues is a prudent one, which

will benefit Canada.

Jeffrey Simpson again paints theRomanow report as being allabout spending more on healthcare in the hope that doing sowould magically change it (TimeTo Bury Health Care’s ‘Transfor-mative Change’ – Sept. 20).

The failure to achieve as muchchange as needed within thehealth-care system stems fromthe health accords’ lack of ac-countability, not the diagnosis ofthe Romanow commission.

The unwillingness of the federalgovernment and the provinces tocommit to demonstrating thatthe money was buying change iswhy the system simply absorbedthe spending by doing more ofthe same. That failure cannot belaid at Roy Romanow’s feet.

The priorities of the Romanowreport (and the Kirby report andthe Mazankowski report and theFyke report and the Clair report)remain the touchstones for muchof the current thinking aboutwhere the system needs to go.

They weren’t perfect. Some oftheir analysis needs updating adecade later. But as a general rule,the diagnosis wasn’t the issue, theapplication of the treatment was.– Tom McIntosh, associate director,Saskatchewan Population Healthand Evaluation Research Unit, University of Regina. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re Two-Tier Math (editorial, Sept.20): Mathphobia is an infectiouschildhood disease; many elemen-tary school children catch it fromtheir teachers.

While supervising studentteachers a few years ago, I foundmyself one snowy December dayin a small Ottawa Valley school. Inthe Grade 5 classroom where I sat,the teacher wrote the fraction 2/1on the board and asked, “What isthis equal to?” “Two,” the childrenchorused. “No, it’s one half,” theteacher said.

She wrote another fraction, 3/1.“What is this?” “Three,” the pupilssaid. “No, it’s one third – I think,”the teacher said. At that point, Itook over the class and taught therest of the lesson. Afterward, Iasked the teacher about her back-

ground in math. “My last mathwas in Grade 12,” she said, “and Iscored 51 per cent.”

I realized that our facultyadmission requirements boresome responsibility. Accordingly,we introduced a policy that appli-cants must have at least one uni-versity math course. We didn’texpect that this would producemathematicians, but it did serveto scare away the mathphobes,who no doubt went elsewhere fortheir teacher education.– David Pratt, Kingston. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re Focus On Mercy, Not Rules,Pope Says (Sept. 20): As a teenag-er growing up in a non-religiousenvironment, I have been taughtto be an accepting person. I be-lieve that all people are, untiltaught otherwise.

By telling the press that theChristian faith should not focuson its bitterness toward topicssuch as abortion and homosexu-ality, the Pope is creating a bettertomorrow. He is doing this byencouraging all people to be moretolerant of each other.

This tolerance is increasinglyimportant and influential as soci-ety becomes more connectedthan ever through technologyand social media.

As a Muslim, head-covering, self-proclaimed feminist, I have ahard time grasping why womenbelieve it is their feminist duty totake away the hijab from otherwomen (The Core Of Quebec’sCharter? Republicanism AndFeminism – Sept. 16).

At its core, feminism is aboutgiving women the ability tochoose and to live their lives asthey see fit. Many Muslim womenfeel empowered by the veil. Theysee it as a means of being a valu-able member of society and thework force without being judgedby their beauty and bodies.

If the hijab is taken from them,

they may feel uncomfortableeven stepping outside their door.

Women ordering other womento take off a garment important tothem and consequently confiningthem to their homes isn’t femi-nism. So how can feminism be atthe core of Quebec’s charter?– Mishall Rehman, Trenton, Ont.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I applaud the PQ’s efforts. A hugeproportion of all wars, persecu-tions, genocide, torture and injus-tices are due to religion.

I was surprised that Debating theGreat School Cover-Up (Life &Arts, Sept. 20) didn’t address theissue of the dress choices of thefemale school staff.

As a teacher, I had an up-closeview of fashion in a school set-ting.

When foreign troops finally exit Afghanistan next year, they

will leave behind a mixed legacy. Yes, the long and bloody

war has been a failure on many fronts, but there is compelling new

evidence of fragile progress for one unlikely, yet crucial demo-

graphic: young, educated, employed Afghan women.

An upcoming report based on a survey by Building Markets, an

international NGO, sheds some rare light on the participation of

Afghan women in the formal, private-sector economy. As it turns

out, the past decade has seen significant gains for female Afghan

entrepreneurs, businesswomen and employees.

Consider these key findings: Most of the 800 women surveyed

said marriage does not stand in the way of their work. An over-

whelming 96 per cent have the support of their families to pursue

their chosen careers. Perhaps most surprisingly, these predomi-

nantly young women are cautiously optimistic, and believe that

with proper support their businesses will thrive beyond the with-

drawal of foreign forces next year.

The survey was limited in scope (though it was the largest of its

kind) and left out huge swaths of the Afghan female population.

Poor, rural, uneducated women were not its focus and, obviously,

they continue to face unimaginable hardships. The status of

Afghan women is still one of the lowest in the world. The country

ranked 147 out of 148 countries, according to the Human Develop-

ment Index indicator last year.

Violence against women remains endemic. Last week, the top

female police officer in Helmand province was assassinated on her

way to work. In August, insurgents attacked the convoy of a female

Afghan senator and killed her eight-year-old daughter.

When the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001, with much

of the Western world in tow, the plight of Afghan women was often

cited as part of the justification for war.

The data suggests that, on a practical level, during the past dec-

ade of foreign military intervention, Afghan women have managed

to change their own society for themselves.

Of course, barriers remain. Eighty-one per cent could not access

any credit or financing for their business. Many would love to have

more support with financial management, technical support and

accessing buyers. A majority listed their greatest difficulty as not

being taken seriously by the outside business world.

They should be. These young, Afghan businesswomen in turn

help lift other, less fortunate Afghan women out of poverty

through employment. Their hard-fought gains must be protected

and advanced, even after the foreign troops have left.

As an employer with a consid-erable presence in Quebec,

we at Morneau Shepell thoughtwe should report on our experi-ence with Quebec “values.” Wehave a particularly good newsstory for Quebeckers, and indeedfor all Canadians.

Our human-resources consult-ing company has grown signifi-cantly in Quebec over the pastdecade, from fewer than 500employees in 2006 to about 1,200in 2013. About a third of our workforce is based in Quebec, and webelieve it’s a terrific place to dobusiness.

In most ways, our Quebec ex-perience is similar to our experi-ence in the rest of Canada. OurQuebec employees are a diverselot, like in the rest of the country.Our work force there claimsbirthplaces in 60 different coun-tries, while working together in afriendly, collegial environment.We have a high level of produc-tivity and surprisingly few inter-personal issues.

When I asked our HR team inQuebec if we have had any con-cerns – ever – with religious orcultural differences among ouremployees, they struggled tocome up with even one example.Certainly, they reported, therehave been no issues with tradi-tional dress or religious symbols.Whether it’s the highly effectivesystems professional with greenhair or the excellent counsellorwith a modest head scarf, ourteams work together to bestserve our clients.

We consider ourselves lucky tohave such a talented, diverse andengaged work force. We have aharmonious work environmentwhere personal choices are re-spected and co-workers’ rightsaren’t infringed on. Any legisla-tion that makes Quebec a lessdesirable place for our employeesand their families would makeour recruiting more difficult andthreaten our success story there.

There are some differences be-tween our Quebec offices andthose in the rest of Canada. Evenwith such a diverse work force,everyone speaks one language:French. And our company’s bestemployee engagement scores areto be found in our Quebec opera-tions, by a full 10 percentagepoints.

Our challenge is how to exportthese Quebec “values” across thecountry.

We have good reason to believewe’re not alone in our story.What we do for our clients givesus a unique window into thewell-being of employees at manyof Canada’s leading companies.We’re the largest employee assist-ance provider in Canada, and inQuebec, which means that wehelp about five millionemployees and family memberswith their personal challenges.We received more than 540,000calls in 2012 asking for help withpersonal, family and work issues.

We hear it all – from day-to-dayrelationship challenges to work-place problems to real crises.What we don’t hear are questionsor problems about religious orcultural issues. They literally donot make the list of employeeconcerns. Of the 75,000 calls wereceived from Quebeckers lastyear, the top three issues werepersonal relationships, personalstress and mental-health issues,consistent with our statisticsfrom the rest of Canada.

Our diverse work places areworking, but the pace of life, andbusiness, is changing. Canadians,including Quebeckers, are findingways to work together harmo-niously, notwithstanding theirdifferences.

We plan to continue our suc-cessful recruitment of great peo-ple from diverse backgrounds,and our respectful approach tomanaging differences. From ourperspective, the most importantelement of meeting the challengeof being a world-class firm isattracting and retaining greatpeople, and working with themto make them and us even better.That’s how we’ll be successful. Di-versity is a strength to be builton, and Quebec is a hugelyimportant part of that nationaleffort.

SECULAR CHARTER

Diversity is a Quebec value. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

M id-2009 marked the end ofBarack Obama’s honey-

moon with the American electo-rate. The new President’sdecision to press ahead withhealth-care reform while theeconomy burned struck millionsof Americans as a dereliction ofduty. Fed by Republican propa-ganda, they rose up in a summerof discontent.

Amid the hysteria, Mr. Obamalaunched a counteroffensive. Tosell his proposal to providehealth insurance to the 15 percent of Americans without it, heneeded to convince the 85 percent of Americans with coveragethat they would not come up los-ers under his reform.

“Let me be exactly clear aboutwhat health-care reform meansto you,” the President said. “Ifyou’ve got health insurance, youlike your doctors, you like yourplan, you can keep your doctor,you can keep your plan. Nobodyis talking about taking that away

from you.”It turns out he wasn’t “exactly

clear.” A week before the imple-mentation of Obamacare’s mainprovision – the requirement thatthe uninsured purchase coveragethrough online, state healthexchanges – what’s clear is thatalmost no American will be unaf-fected. Despite its noble objec-tives, Obamacare risks turning analready labyrinthine system intoan even deeper maze of unevencare that will cost taxpayers tril-lions.

At 2,700 pages, the AffordableCare Act starts out with anadmirable premise. Nearly 32million uninsured Americanscould gain coverage. Dependingon their income, they will be eli-gible for subsidies to purchaseprivate insurance or obtain stateinsurance at no cost through anexpanded Medicaid program.

Obamacare outlaws lifetimebenefit caps imposed by privateinsurers that force thousands ofAmericans into bankruptcy everyyear over health-care costs. Thelaw makes it illegal to deny cov-erage or charge higher premiumsto sick people. For many, Obama-care is literally a lifesaver.

But by making insurance acces-sible and affordable for the sickand poor, Obamacare will raisecosts for everyone else. In most

rich countries, this would be fair-ly uncontroversial. Health care isseen, if not as a basic humanright, as a critical tool in promot-ing social mobility and reducingincome inequality. But for mostmiddle-class Americans, it seemspersonal economic securitytrumps social solidarity.

Some of the angriest criticismof the law is coming from theunion movement. Health insur-ance is a non-taxable benefit inthe United States. So, for years,unions have pushed for “gold-plated” health insurance overwage increases, which are taxa-ble.

Obamacare taxes the mostgenerous health plans (startingin 2018). This will lead employersto roll back coverage for union-ized employees or drop it alto-gether. That’s because the lawalso requires businesses withmore than 50 full-timeemployees to provide health in-surance or pay a $2,000 (U.S.)annual fine per employee, a pro-vision known as the “employermandate.” Since the fine is sever-al times less than the cost of in-surance, many companies thatnow offer health coverage willinstead opt to pay the penalty.

There is already widespreadevidence that small businessesare cutting full-time jobs and hir-

ing more part-timers to avoid the$2,000 fine. Fearing the impacton a fragile job market, the Oba-ma administration recentlydelayed the employer mandateset for Jan. 1 until 2015.

Still, this is just postponing theinevitable. For millions of Ameri-cans, Obamacare likely meanslosing generous employer-spon-sored health insurance and hav-ing to purchase coverage of theirown on state exchanges. Out-of-pocket costs will go up, as insur-ers raise premiums and imposehigher co-pays and deductiblesfor everyone, since they are pro-hibited from doing so only forhigh-risk patients. To controlcosts, insurers will ration care –limiting doctor and hospitalchoice and increasing wait times.

“The law’s a train wreck,” Re-publican House of Representa-tives Speaker John Boehner saidbefore the lower chamber on Fri-day passed a budget bill thatblocks the Obamacare subsidiesset to kick in on Oct. 1. If theHouse stands its ground, thegovernment could shut downnext week.

Obamacare has survived aSupreme Court challenge and apresidential election. But thefight over its implementationcould make the summer of 2009look like a picnic.

For a growing number of citi-zens in many Western coun-

tries, rising income inequalityand declining personal expecta-tions appear to be part and par-cel of the new global reality. Yetwhile income inequality hasbeen on the rise for three dec-ades, its ascent to political prom-inence is much more recent. Theglobal financial crisis and reces-sion have brought the issue of in-come inequality out of the realmof research institutes and intopublic discourse and votingbooths.

That income inequality hasbeen rising, for some time, andacross most of the Organizationfor Economic Co-operation andDevelopment countries, is notnews. But neither is it well under-stood. As conventionally mea-sured (by the Gini coefficient),income inequality has increasedsince the 1980s in 18 of the 21OECD countries for which trenddata are available. In Canada, in-come inequality so measuredrose in line with the average de-terioration among OECD coun-tries of almost 10 per cent, butmost of the Canadian increaseoccurred in the 1990s – not in the2000s, as is commonly supposed.

Behind these similarities, how-ever, lie some significant differ-ences. Canada has much lowerincome inequality after transfersand taxes than the United States,and you might be tempted to at-tribute this to much greater Ca-nadian redistribution – but youwould be wrong. In fact, thereduction in inequality due toCanada’s progressive transfer andtax system (28 per cent) is onlyslightly greater than that of theUnited States (24 per cent). Themain factor is much lower in-equality of “market incomes” inCanada – indeed, lower than allother G7 countries, includingGermany and France.

Looking at inequality measuredas either the “1 per cent versusthe rest” or the “top 10 per centversus the bottom 10 per cent”also shows sharp Canada-U.S. dif-ferences.

In 2010, the top 1 per cent inCanada took in 10.6 per cent ofnational income – well up fromtheir 7-per-cent share in the early1980s but down from their peakbefore the recession. But whilethe U.S. top 1 per cent accountedfor a roughly similar share astheir Canadian counterparts inthe early 1980s, that share had

more than doubled to 17 per centin 2010 – and that’s up, notdown, since the recession.

The Canadian and Americanstories are also different in theevolution of the ratio betweendisposable incomes of the topand bottom 10 per cent. The 2010ratio for the U.S. was 15.9 – thatis, the average income of some-one in the top 10 per cent was15.9 times greater than the aver-age income of someone in thebottom 10 per cent of the incomedistribution. This was apprecia-bly higher than in 2000. The Ca-nadian ratio rose in the late1990s, but today, at 8.9, is belowits 2000 levels, and barely halfthe U.S. figure.

How has the past decade’s realeconomic growth translated inreal income gains for the medianworker across OECD countries?Not well in a number of coun-tries, most notably the UnitedStates (where cumulative realoutput was up almost 20 per cent

but median real incomes wereactually down by about 4 percent) and Japan (which postedeven larger median incomedeclines). For Canada, Australiaand the Nordic countries, this“distribution wedge” was negli-gible.

So what have we learned?OECD research across manycountries points to a number offactors: Regulatory reforms to in-crease competition have in-creased employment rates,bringing more low-skilled work-ers into paid employment, butthey have also widened the dis-tribution of wages in these nowless-regulated labour markets.Part-time work arrangementshave offered more flexibleemployment options but also in-creased wage dispersion. Thereduction in the generosity ofbenefit systems, often as part ofrestoring fiscal balance, has hadan impact. Pervasive globaliza-tion, according to Nobel Prize-

winner Michael Spence, has con-tributed to the hollowing-out ofmanufacturing in the context oflow-wage, huge-scale competi-tion from emerging economiesand inflexibility and poor inno-vation responses in advancedeconomies.

But what emerges most strong-ly and clearly from the OECDanalysis is the impact of techno-logical change in driving incomeinequality. Just as technologicalchange has increased demandand market incomes for workerswith higher skill levels, it hasreduced the demand for workerswith low skills, and only then atlower wages.

A strong public education sys-tem, managed for outcomes,rewarding excellence and willingto innovate, is essential in aworld where the pace of techno-logical change is relentless. TheInternet 4.0 will transform againhow we work, where we workand what we produce at work,and yet we are barely embarkingon Public Education 2.0.

Canada, which has done rela-tively well in terms of incomeequality in rapidly changing cir-cumstances, has no grounds forcomplacency.

Our risk is a bifurcating labourmarket with (on the one hand)high-skilled jobs, producing high-value-added goods and servicesat good wages and (on the otherhand) less-skilled jobs producingstandardized, low-value-addedproducts at middling wages. Weneed a public education systemthat educates the students oftoday for the work force oftomorrow.

But change is needed in morethan education if Canadian work-ers are to prosper in the decadesahead. Skilled workers needskilled jobs. This will requiremore entrepreneurship to createthe growing and striving firmsthat create these jobs. It will alsodemand more innovation so thatwe are continually moving up thevalue-added curve in every sec-tor. And it will mean tapping intonew markets in emerging econo-mies with rapidly growing mid-dle classes.

In this profoundly changingglobal economy, innovation andtalent are essential for competi-tive economies that want tomaintain high standards of liv-ing. In short, we need to win “therace between education andtechnology.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Supporters of Quebec’s proposedcharter of “values” numbered inthe hundreds as they descendedon downtown Montreal callingfor a secular state and urging thegovernment to go forward withits plan to push state employeesto leave their religious garb athome.

The Parti Québécois govern-ment formally announced itsplan earlier this month, one thatwould prohibit state employeesfrom wearing overt religioussymbols. That would includeeveryone from judges and policeofficers to daycare and health-care workers and school teach-ers.

Several hundred gathered in aMontreal square on Sunday andmarched to voice their supportfor the Parti Québécois’s contro-versial secular plan for publicsector employees.

“If we don’t have religious sym-bols, I think it’s easier to accepteach other for all societies,” saidRobert Carrier, one of those onhand.

Polls commissioned in recentweeks have suggested a deepdivide among Quebeckers overthe controversial charter.

Those same polls have alsosuggested that support for it hasbeen dropping.

But those who gathered undera light rain on Sunday said it’snecessary to have such rules tobe able to live together. Theyargue that religion is creepinginto everyday Quebec societyand it causes strife between citi-zens.

Daphne Poirier said she hasfriends who are Jewish and Araband they all have different views

on their own religion – some aremore observant, while othershave a more lax attitude. In theend, it has little impact on herpersonal dealings with them.

“My friendship goes beyondtheir system of values,” said Ms.Poirier, a translator who definesherself as an atheist. She saysshe doesn’t push her beliefs onanyone and doesn’t think othersshould be able to on her.

“I respect everybody and whatthey do when they go to the syn-

agogue or when they go to amosque, that’s their [business],”she said. “But I don’t think itbelongs in the public space.”

Sunday’s rally was the first onein favour of the charter andcame on the heels of an anti-charter rally in the provincialcapital on Saturday and a signif-icantly larger anti-charter marchin Montreal a little over a weekago.

Marchers carried cutout fleur-de-lis and Quebec flags. They car-ried signs that read “we’re bornnaked and everything else is su-perfluous” and “secularism that’sopen to closed religions doesn’twork.”

The group included very fewvisible minorities.

However, it also included thosewho feel the charter doesn’t gofar enough, namely when itcomes to the cross that hangs inthe Quebec legislature above theSpeaker’s chair. That one wasspared under the PQ plan, withthe reason that they are key toQuebec’s cultural history.

“For me, the freedom of reli-gion should not surpass libertyof expression and if we can’thave political badges at work,why should we be allowed reli-gious symbols?” said OlivierChantraine, who said he’s much

more in favour of the charterthan opposed, although he hasissues with the way it’s beingproposed. “It should be the samefor everyone.”

And that’s why the crucifixshould go from the legislature,Mr. Chantraine added, calling ithypocritical to keep the crucifix.“That’s how it can be seen as rac-ist and xenophobic,” he added.

The minority PQ government isexpected to table the charter thisfall after hearing from the publicand has continued to defend itpublicly in the past week.

But the charter is unlikely topass in its current form. The op-position Liberals are against thecharter altogether and the sec-ond opposition party that hasthe swing vote in legislature, theCoalition Avenir Québec, hasdenounced it as too radical.

The CAQ has offered toendorse a watered-down version,but the PQ has suggested it willlisten to public input and mightnegotiate with opposition partiesafter it has been tabled.

Bernard Drainville, the ministerin charge of the charter, said heexpected the debate to lastweeks and hoped for civilized,constructive debate.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

With suburban growth aroundrail lines a “reality,” it’s up toprovinces, municipalities andrailways to make sure busy cross-ings are safe, federal TransportMinister Lisa Raitt says.

Looming federal regulations forlevel or at-grade crossings aremeant to help local governmentsand railway companies strikedeals on building improved railcrossings where they see fit, butMs. Raitt says regulations won’tgive Ottawa a bigger role. The fed-eral government will instead setthe standards and continue toconsider funding applicationsthrough existing infrastructurefunds.

“I think I leave it to the prov-inces and municipalities to deter-mine how they fund theirinfrastructure needs, because it’stheir roads and it’s the railway’slines,” she said, later adding:“What the regulations areattempting to do is define and un-derstand the responsible playerswith respect to the upkeep, main-tenance and creation of one ofthose crossings … they’re going toneed some more clarity fromTransport Canada, and we’regoing to give it to them. I thinkthat’s the best way of saying it.”

The crash in Ottawa last weekinvolved a commuter bus leavingthe fast-growing suburb of Barr-haven. Suburban growth is a reali-ty, but not a problem, she said.

“The rail lines were built 100years ago and cities weren’t there.And now we do have people liv-ing in the area, and municipalitiesand provinces will want to crossthe rail lines where they nevercrossed before, and that’s why it’simportant for those two entitiesto come to an agreement on howto deal with it and make surethey’re doing it in the most safeway that they can,” Ms. Raitt said.

The federal government willrelease long-awaited draft regu-lations for railroad crossing safetywithin “months,” she said, butwill weigh any recommendationsfrom the independent Transpor-tation Safety Board (TSB) againstthe position of industry and mu-nicipalities.That drew a rebuke

from NDP transport critic OliviaChow. “I’d rather trust the expertsthan a new minister that may belistening to industry too much,”she said, adding the TSB investi-gators “are the people we trust asan outside agency to tell thegovernment how to keep Cana-dians safe. And to not take theirrecommendations, it means she’spoliticizing the whole issue of railsafety and beholden to the railindustry? Which side is she on?”

Ms. Chow cited a series of TSBrecommendations that thegovernment hasn’t acted on overseveral years. Ms. Raitt acknowl-edges the regulations are long-delayed but is signalling a conci-liatory approach to enable localgovernments to strike their own

deals on crossings. “I hear the factthat sometimes people say it’staking an awfully long time, butyou’re trying to get the balanceright,” she said.

Ms. Raitt remains a supporter ofOperation Lifesaver, a rail-safetyawareness organization.

“What I’d like to see, quitefrankly, is more discussion of thewhole concept of safety aroundthese crossings,” Ms. Raitt said.

“Part of it has to be about com-munication with the public aboutthe dangers associated with notstopping at rail crossings. And,separate and apart from the acci-dent that happened, just a remin-der that trains can’t stop on adime. I wish they could,” sheadded.

With one of China’s most divi-sive politicians, Bo Xilai, banis-hed to life in prison Sunday, theCommunist Party stepped up itsefforts to convince a scandal-weary public that the spectacleof his trial proved that nationalleaders were serious about root-ing out official corruption.

Guards took Bo away after acourt in eastern China declaredhim guilty of accepting bribes,embezzling state funds andabusing his power in a failedattempt to thwart a murderinvestigation involving his wife.

While he can still appeal theverdict, the Communist Partycontrols China’s judiciary, andthe chances are scant that anyjudge would overturn the ver-dict or reduce his sentence oflife in prison.

Instead, Bo is likely to disap-pear from public life for dec-ades, at least, ending a career inwhich he defied the staid waysof Chinese politics and reinvent-ed himself as a populist defend-er of socialist virtues.

China’s state-run news mediaportrayed the judgment as proofthat party leadership under XiJinping is determined to end thebribe-taking, graft and brazenself-enrichment that have fedwidespread public disenchant-ment with officials.

“The resolute legal punish-ment of Bo Xilai fully demon-strates that there are noexceptions before party disci-pline and state law,” said a com-mentary scheduled to appearMonday in the party’s mainnewspaper, People’s Daily. Theeditorial was published before-hand on the newspaper’s web-site.

“No matter who is involved,they will all be investigated tothe end and will all be sternlypunished according to the law,”the commentary said. “Only byalways maintaining high pres-sure in punishing and eradicat-ing corruption, and by insistingon stiff legal punishment of cor-ruption, can we mend partyways and ease public opinion.”

Xi, who was appointed partyleader in November, has fre-quently vowed to strike down“flies” and “tigers”: both low-and high-ranking officials caughtin corruption. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Facebook Inc. has tapped its topCanadian manager to lead aglobal team that will look fornew ways the social network canserve large corporations in keyindustries – and increase its ownrevenue.

The move will make JordanBanks one of Facebook’s mostinfluential strategists as thecompany looks to increase itsshare of marketing and advertis-ing budgets around the world.

Mr. Banks will retain his role asmanaging director of FacebookCanada as he takes on the newlycreated position of global headof vertical strategy.

He will need to figure out howsome of the world’s largestbrands can use Facebook, eitherto sell products or to engagewith their customers in a newway.

“We want a direct connectionbetween our efforts and a busi-ness either selling more stuff, in-creasing brand awareness,driving more foot traffic or what-ever else their objective may be,”said Mr. Banks, who joined Face-book in 2010 and previously raneBay Inc.’s Canadian unit andJumpTV Inc.

The social network has about1.1 billion users and 18 millionbrands trying to reach thoseusers through corporate Face-book pages. It also has a million

clients using its service to deliverads to Facebook users.

All of that activity has translat-ed into rapid revenue growthand sky-high expectationsamong investors.

The company will earn $1.2-billion in profit (U.S.) this year,according to a Bloomberg esti-mate, but after a summertimerally in its share price, Facebookis worth $116-billion – about asmuch as Walt Disney Co.

To grow into a valuation that isnearly 100 times earnings, thecompany needs to tap into bigcompanies with big marketingbudgets.

Angela Merkel’s bland, say-nothing campaign worked

with stunning success. Her over-whelming election victory Sun-day confirmed her third term asGerman Chancellor and makesher one of the most popularpoliticians on the planet.

The victory gives her the polit-ical heft and credibility unri-valled in Europe, perhapsamong the Western democra-cies.

But what will the woman incharge of Europe’s largest econ-omy do with all this power?

You’d be wrong if you thinkher euro zone strategy is set fora sea change.

Her plodding approach is like-ly to endure, virtually ensuringthat the quartet of bailed-outcountries – Greece, Ireland, Por-tugal and Cyprus – will stay inthe euro zone while austeritygrinds away at their economies.

“If she wanted to be morehard-line, she could have doneso before,” Peter Schaffrik, headof European rates strategy forRBC Capital Markets, said in aninterview after exit polls cameout.

By early evening, Germantime, Ms. Merkel’s ChristianDemocratic Union (CDU) and itsBavarian sister party, the Chris-tian Social Union (CSU), were ina celebratory mood. Ms. Merkelcheered what she called a “su-per result,” one that must havebeen all the more satisfying giv-en the recent polls.

Bank of Canada Governor Ste-phen Poloz is talking about

the financial crisis, but he’sdescribing spaghetti sauce.

“If you look carefully at a pot ofsimmering spaghetti sauce, un-der every bubble there is a craterthat’s equal in size,” the centralbank’s top chef told members ofthe Vancouver Board of Tradelast week.

“Central banks have been fillingthat crater with liquidity, so wecan row our boats across it.”

The awkward boats-and-sauceanalogy is just one of the ways

that Mr. Poloz, a trained econo-mist and former head of ExportDevelopment Canada, is distin-guishing himself from his prede-cessor, Mark Carney.

Mr. Carney’s style was to showoff his intellect. He revelled inbeing the smartest guy in theroom.

Mr. Poloz’s manner is morefolksy, and he’s always lookingfor a way to break down the com-plex into more understandablechunks.

So a credit bubble becomespasta sauce.

It’s now apparent that anotherfeature of the Poloz style isunbridled optimism. He is aglass-half-full kind of guy.

In Mr. Poloz’s view of the world,the Canadian economy is at “atipping point,” poised for muchstronger growth. The country ison its way “home” to more nor-mal conditions, he said in Van-couver.

BlackBerry Ltd.’s latest businessplan follows the same handbookused by scores of distressed com-panies before it.

The strategy: simplify the busi-ness, drop certain product linesand cut costs mercilessly. For theWaterloo, Ont.-based maker ofsmartphones, that means return-ing its focus to the place where itfirst made its mark – the corpo-rate market.

Late Friday, the company said itwill post a second-quarter loss ofnearly $1-billion (U.S.), most ofwhich is related to a massiveinventory of unsold BlackBerry10 phones. The company will layoff 4,500 employees, try to slashoperating costs by 50 per cent byMay and give up on the consum-er market, except for higher-endprofessionals (what the companycalls “prosumers”).

BlackBerry consumer saleshave been dismal in the face ofcompetition from devices such asthe Samsung Galaxy and theApple iPhone.

The Z10, a touchscreen phonedesigned to compete with thosetwo market leaders, has been aflop and is the major cause of theinventory writedown, which willtotal at least $930-million.

“It’s like playing poker withthree billionaires and one guywho has a hundred bucks,” saidRobert Enderle, principal analystat technology research firm theEnderle Group, referring toApple, Samsung and MicrosoftCorp., three big players in con-sumer smartphones.

“It’s probably wise that [Black-Berry has] stopped poundingtheir head against that particularwall.”

But can the back-to-businessstrategy work?

One factor on BlackBerry’s sideis the preference of many busi-ness users for a smartphone witha keyboard.

Fed follow-up After last week’s surprise decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve to stay the course, economistsare eager for any hints as to when tapering might begin. What will be closely watched this week arespeeches by at least 10 members of the Fed, who may hint at when there may be action on the stimulus.

Not that it lacked for visibilitybefore, but Nike Inc. is getting anice boost by joining the blue-chip Dow Jones industrial aver-age.

The “Just do it!” athletic gear gi-ant known for its savvy market-ing and high-tech research entersthe exclusive 30-stock average onMonday.

It is recognition of the Beaver-ton, Ore.-based company’s stay-ing power as a dominant globalplayer that has posted a robuststock performance over the pastseveral years. Nike’s share pricehas risen every year since 2008.Buying the stock five years agowould have earned you a totalreturn of 135 per cent, assumingyou reinvested the dividends.

The pressure on Nike to outper-form isn’t about to let up.

The company reports first-quar-ter earnings on Thursday aftermarkets close and investors willbe eagerly watching for slam-dunk numbers. “They’re going tohave to really, really put up somephenomenal results,” said BrianYarbrough, consumer researchanalyst at Edward Jones.

The analysts’ earnings-per-share consensus estimate for thefirst quarter is 78 cents (U.S.), upfrom 63 cents in the year-earlierperiod.

Two key factors to watch areprogress in the sluggish Chineseconsumer market – Nike’s biggestgrowth area – and improved grossmargins, Mr. Yarbrough said.

Susquehanna Financial Groupanalyst Christopher Svezia said ina recent research note that heexpects a “solid quarter from[Nike] as [the first quarter] is typ-ically one of its strongest.”

While advance footwear orderswill likely maintain their momen-tum in North America, emergingmarkets and Central and Eastern

Europe, falling sales in Chinamake that country “a work inprogress,” he said.

Mr. Svezia is looking for quar-

terly earnings per share of 77cents.

“We continue to see strong mar-ket-share gains in [North Ameri-ca], which we believe bodes wellfor continued double-digitgrowth for the region. Europe re-mains a mixed bag though we an-ticipate the region to startbenefiting from the World Cup,”he said.

Emerging markets such asArgentina, Mexico, South Koreaand Brazil – host of next year’ssoccer World Cup and the 2016Summer Olympic Games – offerNike some of the best growth op-portunities over the next threeyears, he added.

“We believe that at this earlystage management will likely reit-erate its forecast for the year ofhigh single-digit revenue growthand EPS growth in the low dou-ble-digits,” Mr. Svezia said.

Flood-weary Albertans were prob-ably restocking their shelves inJuly, giving a bump to store sales.

Economists expect StatisticsCanada to report Tuesday thatretail sales across the countryrose by 0.5 per cent or better inJuly, after a slump of 0.6 per centin June, when floods ravagedAlberta.

“With flat gasoline prices, gainsshould have been registered inother categories including food –where purchases likely rose asAlberta consumers stocked up on

necessities after floods in June,”said Emanuella Enenajor of CIBCWorld Markets.

“And while rainy weather inCentral Canada may have keptsome would-be shoppers indoors,categories such as building mater-ial/gardening sales may havebounced back on the end of theQuebec construction strike andAlberta flooding disruptions.”

There are other factors as well,prompting BMO Nesbitt Burns toexpect to see a jump of 0.9 percent.

“Part of the weakness in Junewas due to the Alberta flood,which should be reversed,” saidBMO senior economist BenjaminReitzes. “However, there was alsoa troubling drop in retail sales incentral Canada, but given therebound in manufacturing andwholesale activity, look for retailto follow suit.”

Ms. Enenajor believes the Julyshowing will bode well for themonthly reading of gross domes-tic product, but questions wheth-er shoppers can keep it up.

“While that will be a boost forthe month’s GDP, it’s not clearthat consumers can keep themomentum going with rising in-terest rates, slowing consumercredit growth and softer trends inhiring,” she said.

In the United States, marketswill be watching on Wednesdayfor fresh numbers on purchases ofbig-ticket items and sales of newhomes, and on Friday for person-al spending and income data.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Exports are about to surge,confidence is building and

those companies that Mr. Carneychastised for hoarding cash willsoon expand and invest, Mr.Poloz said in a speech that aToronto-Dominion Bank econo-mist characterized as a “peptalk.”

And there is no bubble formingin the housing market, in spite ofrecord household debt and pricesthat even the OECD says areamong the most overvalued inthe world. “I don’t foresee thatthere is a bubble in the housingmarket,” Mr. Poloz insisted inVancouver.

Mr. Poloz’s cheer-leading on the

economy hasn’t gone unnoticed,even by one of the key peoplewho hired him – Finance Minis-ter Jim Flaherty.

“I’m a little more cautious. Ithink he’s a bit more bullish thanI am,” Mr. Flaherty told CTV lastweek – an unusually candidadmission that the finance min-ister is not on the same page asthe central bank governor, atleast on the subject of the econo-my’s health.

Other economists are skepticalof Mr. Poloz’s rosy outlook,which appears to be at least part-ly at odds with the central bank’sown forecasts.

Mr. Poloz’s conviction that the

Canadian economy is turning thecorner and ready to start firingon all cylinders is “misplaced”and “overly optimistic,” accord-ing to David Madani of CapitalEconomics. Among other things,an imminent export rebound ismore wishful thinking than reali-ty.

“Not only does this view jarwith the incoming trade data,but it also contradicts the [Bankof Canada’s] earlier publishedforecast which pegged housing tobe a drag on the economy thisyear and next,” Mr. Madani point-ed out in a research note Friday.

Bank of Montreal chief econo-mist Douglas Porter is also puz-

zled by Mr. Poloz’s contentionthat business spending is readyto come back strong.

“Looking at the [Bank of Cana-da’s] own business outlook sur-vey of investment intentions andthe actual trend in businessspending raises doubts on thisscore,” Mr. Porter remarked. Bothindicators have been steadily fall-ing so far this year, he pointedout.

This all raises the intriguingquestion of whether a centralbank chief should be talkingabout the economic conditionshe wants to see, rather than theones that really exist.

Central bankers often use their

perspective on where the econo-my is headed to guide financialmarkets about the future direc-tion of benchmark interest rates.

But there is no suggestion thatMr. Poloz’s talking up of theeconomy says anything aboutrates. Most economists expectthe Bank of Canada to keep itskey overnight rate at 1 per centuntil at least late next year, oreven early 2015.

Mr. Poloz’s forecast of an im-proving economy may yet cometo pass. But it should be treatedas the observations of an econo-mist, with a margin of error, rath-er than official pronouncementsfrom the central bank.

T H E G LO B E A N D M A I L • M O N DAY , S E P T E M B E R 2 3 , 2 0 1 3 S B3REPORT ON BUSINESS •

When Ben Bernanke wantedto explore how to better

explain the U.S. Federal Reserve’sthinking to the public, he turnedto Janet Yellen for advice.

It was a logical choice. SinceOctober, 2010, Ms. Yellen hasserved as the Fed’s No. 2, putthere by President Barack Oba-ma, who could nominate her assoon as this week to succeed Mr.Bernanke as head of the Wash-ington-based Federal ReserveBoard – the world’s most power-ful central banker.

Ms. Yellen’s work as the headof an internal committee oncommunications so far has ledto an inflation target and apromise that the Fed won’t raiseits benchmark interest ratebefore the unemployment ratedrops to 6.5 per cent.

Yet after a rocky couple of daysfor financial markets last week,Ms. Yellen’s work on Fed messag-ing stands both as a signatureendeavour and a potential bloton her résumé. It exemplifies herstatus as a leading thinker – butWall Street suddenly is less-than-enthusiastic about the Fed’scommunications strategy.

Ms. Yellen voted with the ma-jority Wednesday as the Fed’spolicy committee shocked finan-cial markets by delaying the startof what will be a long walk backto a more normal setting formonetary policy. The Fed saideconomic data simply weren’tstrong enough to begin unwind-ing stimulus. That’s not the mes-sage most investors and analyststhought the Fed was sendingahead of last week’s meeting,and many on Wall Street say theFed has lost credibility as aresult.

“The decision has generateduncertainty about the Fed’s in-tentions, just at a time whenmarkets were craving convictionin the course of U.S. monetary

policy,” said Joseph Carson, U.S.economist and director of globaleconomic research at asset-man-ager AllianceBernstein.

If the Fed has lost credibility,the vice-chairwoman has too.How much is open to debate, asis whether it matters. Wall Streetangst probably won’t sway Mr.Obama, especially since the Fedopted against curbing its month-ly bond purchases for a valid rea-son – because it remainsunsatisfied with progress in thelabour market.

“This is a volatile, manic-depressive market,” said JaredBernstein, a senior fellow at theWashington-based Center onBudget and Policy Priorities whoserved as Vice-President JoeBiden’s chief economist. “Youdon’t want to unnecessarily sur-

prise the markets, at the sametime your bigger client has to bethe broader economy.”

Still, the events of last weekcast a certain pall over the ascen-dency of Ms. Yellen, who, accord-ing to Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology economist SimonJohnson, could be the “best-qual-ified potential Fed chief ever.”

Her experience as a centralbanker runs deeper than that ofher boss. She ran the San Fran-cisco Fed for the six years pre-ceding her appointment asvice-chairwoman of the FederalReserve Board, where she servedpreviously as one of seven gover-nors from 1994 to 1997.

Born in Brooklyn, New York,during the Second World Warand educated at Yale University,Ms. Yellen is cast as the soul of

the Fed, a grandmotherly figurewho cares infinitely more aboutthe unemployment rate than theinflation rate. “These are not juststatistics to me,” she told theAFL-CIO earlier this year. “Weknow that long-term unemploy-ment is devastating to workersand their families.”

In the jargon of Fed watchers,that makes her a “dove,” al-though apparently one who isunafraid to use her talons.

According to Fed records, shechallenged former chairmanAlan Greenspan during debatesin the 1990s over whether thecentral bank should adopt an in-flation target, and later called onMr. Greenspan to raise interestrates during the technologyboom. As San Francisco Fed pres-ident, she fatefully spotted a

housing bubble that few otherssaw.

Ms. Yellen would be the firstwoman to lead a major centralbank. If that happens, she willhave the liberal wing of theDemocratic Party to thank.

The White House appeared tobe leaning toward Harvard econ-omist Lawrence Summers, ifonly because Prof. Summers – aformer treasury secretary wholed the National Economic Coun-cil during the financial crisis –and Mr. Obama are close.

Yet Prof. Summers shares theresponsibility for the looseningof financial rules during the1990’s that some blame for thecrisis. At least four Democraticlawmakers on the Senate Bank-ing Committee said they wouldvote against Prof. Summers, tip-ping the balance of power on thecommittee to the Republicans.

Prof. Summers removed him-self from consideration a weekago, telling Mr. Obama in a letterthat a nomination fight wouldbe too acrimonious. Ms. Yellenhas been the runaway favouriteto replace Mr. Bernanke eversince.

“She and Bernanke are amongthe only folks in town who areactually still trying to help theeconomy,” Mr. Bernstein said.“I’m sure the Democrats likethat.”

Adrian Miller, director of fixed-income strategy at GMP Securi-ties in New York, said he’s hearda few of his Wall Street counter-parts grumble about Ms. Yellenin the aftermath of the Fed deci-sion. He predicted they wouldget over it. “Yellen and her even-tual leadership should not bematerially impacted by thisweek’s grumpiness,” Mr. Millersaid.

No one could better clear theair than Ms. Yellen. But that willhave to wait. The Economic Clubof New York said late Friday thatMs. Yellen has postponed aspeech scheduled for Oct. 1.

Janet Yellen has been called the ‘best-qualified potential Fed chief ever.’ ANDREW HARRER/BLOOMBERG NEWS

Yellen favoured for Fed, despite taper surprise

The Oregon coast could play a keyrole in helping to get WesternCanada’s vast natural gas reservesout of the ground and on to shipsdestined for Asian countries thatneed it.

At least two companies, OregonLNG and Calgary-based VeresenInc., are proposing to build lique-fied natural gas (LNG) terminalsin Oregon for which Canadiannatural gas would be the primarysupply source. It’s not likely to bethe silver bullet for Western Cana-da’s struggling gas business, but itillustrates that Canada and theUnited States won’t always becompetitors in the North Ameri-ca-wide push to kick-start the na-scent LNG industry.

The proposed Oregon projectscould open a new door for Cana-dian natural gas producers thatwould otherwise have to rely onproposed projects based out ofKitimat or Prince Rupert, B.C., totap overseas export markets.

Oregon LNG chief executive of-ficer Peter Hansen argues the Ore-gon option will be a boon toCanada’s “economically strand-ed” small and medium-sized nat-ural gas producers, which are notlikely to have the capacity to besignificant players in major com-panies’ LNG projects.

“It does create a reasonable out-let for small and medium-sizedproducers,” Mr. Hansen said of hisproposed terminal on the Skipa-non Peninsula in Warrenton, Ore.

“Canada can produce so muchgas that no matter how manyLNG plants are built, there will bemore than enough gas for them.We will be an outlet for some gasthat otherwise simply wouldn’thave a market.”

Western Canadian natural gasprices remain in the doldrums,and many producers are strug-gling to remain viable. Last Friday,the Alberta one-month spot trad-ing price was equivalent to $2.15(U.S.) per million British thermalunits, according to the NGX elec-tronic exchange, compared with$3.69 per MMBtu for Henry Hub,the key U.S. benchmark price.

Canadian producers desperatelywant to get into Asian markets toexpand their customer base andtake advantage of higher pricesacross the Pacific. Asian nationswant access to North Americangas, which they believe can lowertheir energy costs.

But building LNG facilities toexport natural gas is expensive,

time-consuming and risky in aglobal energy market prone toquick seismic shifts. When Mr.Hansen originally envisioned hisproject in 2004, it was based onthe premise that North Americawas facing a shortage of gas – andthe facility was originally meantto be an import terminal. But newfracking techniques have broughtmassive new supplies of U.S.shale gas online, and have trans-formed the U.S. into a countrysearching for natural gas exportmarkets.

Oregon, like the B.C. coast, hasthe advantage of being a relative-ly short shipping distance to keyAsian ports, and Mr. Hansen nowviews his planned $6-billion ter-minal as “just another B.C. coastproject.” Although the projectnear the mouth of the ColumbiaRiver faces regulatory hurdlesand environmental concerns, Mr.Hansen is looking to secure anexport licence by the end of theyear. He is also trying to find equi-ty partners from Canada, the U.S.and Asia.

“We believe that it’s beneficialto have partners from both thesupply and the consuming end,”said Mr. Hansen, who was aspeaker at a Calgary LNG confer-ence last week.

Both Oregon LNG and Veresen,which is betting on its JordanCove LNG project, are each look-ing at export capacities of ninemillion tonnes per year. Both ter-minals will be smaller than manyplanned Canadian projects, butthey won’t be insignificant.Apache Corp. and Chevron Cana-da Ltd.’s proposed Kitimat LNGterminal would ship up to 10 mil-lion tonnes per year, if built. AndLNG Canada – a planned jointventure that includes Shell Cana-da Ltd., Korea Gas Corp., Mitsub-ishi Corp. and PetroChina Co. Ltd.– would export 24 million tonnesper year.

Tom Valentine, a senior partnerwith Norton Rose Fulbright inCalgary, said the Oregon LNG pro-ject has a number of benefits, in-cluding an easier passage fromharbour out to sea than proposedLNG terminal locations in Kiti-mat.

“That Oregon project, and/orthat Jordan Cove project, will giveCanadian producers a new ave-nue into Asian markets. But thatin and of itself is probably notgoing to give us the impact that[Canadian producers] are lookingfor,” Mr. Valentine said, adding,“it’s one means of many.”

WSJ.COM© 2013 DOW JONES & CO., INC.. REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION

Last Friday, a few hours afterBlackBerry Ltd. said it would

cut its work force by 40 per cent,a handful of employees gatheredon the patio of McGinnis Front-row, a sports bar near the com-pany’s headquarters.

Over the course of the nightand several rounds of drinks, thegroup swelled to more than 30current and former employeesand spread to several tables, peo-ple who were there said. Talkrevolved around their fates andthat of the company.

BlackBerry’s spectacular fallhas taken a heavy toll on currentand former employees of thesmartphone maker. BlackBerryemployed 12,700 people asrecently as March, and the latestcuts – about 4,500 employees –weigh heavily on this town ofabout 100,000 people.

Some employees said they werestill working on new phones butheld out little hope about thecompany’s prospects.

Around BlackBerry’s sprawlingWaterloo campus of beige, boxybuildings, parking lots that usedto be packed with employees’cars on weekends now are mostlyempty even during the week.

“It’s not low morale. It’s no mo-rale,” a current employee said.“It’s like working at a hospicecentre. It’s not a matter of if, butwhen.”

Layoff decisions weren’t alwayshandled smoothly, people closeto the situation said. Someemployees, for example, werefired only to be hired back on atemporary contract basis to dothe same job they had beendoing before, the people said.BlackBerry wasn’t available forcomment on how the layoffswere handled.

A project manager who was letgo in an earlier round of layoffs,described setting up a same-daymeeting with a former colleagueone morning only to learn afterthe colleague failed to show upthat she had been let go.

‘It’s not lowmorale. It’s nomorale’ atBlackBerry

Ahead of its stock market debut,Twitter Inc. is hoping for a brea-kout role on TV this fall: money-maker.

As television networks crankup their marketing machines topromote new fall shows, Twitterwants to squeeze more dollarsout of its ability to generate real-time online buzz.

Twitter’s trend-tracking hash-tags have already become com-mon marketing tools on TV, butnetworks haven’t always paid fortheir benefits, often capitalizingon Twitter’s power as a free mar-keting tool.

Getting companies to pay forTwitter publicity is a crucial dis-tinction for the seven-year-oldcompany as it tries to convert itsonline influence into a businessmodel – especially when rivalFacebook Inc. also wants tobecome a hub for real-time con-versations.

In recent months, Twitter hasbeen courting television net-works and advertisers as it rollsout more-sophisticated market-ing products. New partnershipsare likely this week, as Twitter ex-ecutives gather with the mediaindustry for the Advertising Weekconference in New York.

One of Twitter’s key ad prod-ucts is called Amplify, whichallows Twitter to sell ads togetherwith television and other mediacompanies.

With Amplify, networks postshort video replays on Twitter innear-real time. The video is spon-sored by a brand. The networkand Twitter each get a cut of thead proceeds. (Twitter declined todetail the split.)

“Now we are able to talk abouthow to make money togetherand how to give sponsors an in-teresting two-screen approach tothings,” said Glenn Brown, theTwitter executive who has beenpitching Amplify to networks.

Until recently, Twitter had de-veloped only a few, simple adproducts, which serve as its mainsource of revenue. A “promotedtweet,” for example, sits atopusers’ main feed of rolling tweets,while a “promoted trend” sit at

the top of the trends list thatruns on one side of the screen.

The San Francisco-based com-pany earlier this month filed con-fidential papers with the U.S.Securities and Exchange Com-mission to begin the process foran initial public offering, but itdoesn’t disclose ad sales.Research firm eMarketer Inc. esti-mates Twitter will generate justless than $1-billion (U.S.) inworldwide ad revenue in 2014, upfrom $583-million this year.

Twitter unveiled its split-reve-nue Amplify product in thespring, with initial network part-ners including A&E Networks,BBC America and ESPN, which ismajority owned by Walt DisneyCo.

21st Century Fox’s Fox Sportsalso signed on early, but hasn’tyet run any significant initiativeswith it. (21st Century Fox andWall Street Journal owner NewsCorp. were part of the samemedia company until June.)

At this point, CBS Corp. hasn’tsigned on to Amplify, but Twitterplays a starring role in CBS’s fallmarketing efforts. The network isin the midst of a weeklong tweet-ing extravaganza to promote itslineup, dubbed #CBSTweetWeek,

featuring stars from Hostages,NCIS and other shows interactingwith fans on the social-mediaservice.

CBS executives hope the tweet-ing will create buzz for its showsand drive more viewers to tunein, said Marc DeBevoise, execu-tive vice-president and generalmanager of entertainment, newsand sports at CBS Interactive.

As for Amplify, he said, “We arelooking at a number of sponsor-ship and revenue models aroundthe Twitter ecosystem.”

Part of the ambivalence stemsfrom the uncertainty about what,exactly, the payoff is for televi-sion networks. “We see a connec-tion between increased Twitteractivity and increased ratings,”Mr. DeBevoise said. “The problemis, we can’t tell which is doingwhich.”

Media measurement companyNielsen issued a report in Augustshowing an increased volume oftweets caused “statistically signif-icant” increases in live TV ratingsin 29 per cent of the episodesthat it studied. Nielsen is plan-ning to roll out a Twitter-relatedratings service on Sept. 30 thatwill measure the audience thatsees tweets about a show.

Heavy tweeting about showsdoesn’t always translate intoviewership. In July, ComcastCorp.’s Syfy channel’s B-movieSharknado became a Twitter phe-nomenon, at one point generat-ing a stream of 5,000 tweets perminute. But it drew only 1.4 mil-lion total viewers, according toNielsen, ratings roughly in linewith its previous movies.

Still, Syfy sees Twitter as animportant tool for connectingwith audiences. “We will pay to‘trend,’ and we will pay to get theinsights that their analytics giveus,” said Michael Engleman,Syfy’s executive vice-president ofmarketing, digital and globalstrategy.

Twitter faces a major rival inthe battle to become the TVindustry’s small-screen partner.Facebook said this month itwould give a few media partnersthe ability to tap into its “publicfeed” of all the Facebook poststhat are made public by mem-bers.

The media partners will be ableto see Facebook member postson certain topics, and slice themby demographic information,such as gender. For now, the serv-ice is free.

REPORT ON BUSINESS •

Selecting team members wiselyhas grown in importance as we

have shifted into an era whereteams are prevalent in the work-place, tackling complex challeng-es that require innovativeresponses.

At Ziba Design, where such pro-jects are the norm, the companyhas discovered that successfulteams require the delicate inter-mixing of four different roles.

“We are dependent on the teamand team dynamics,” ChelseaVandiver, executive managingdirector of the Portland, Ore.-based consulting firm, said in aninterview.

She describes the four roles, forwhich you need to find peoplewith the appropriate skills:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

1. Generator

These people come up with greatideas. The problem is that theyusually love to come up withmore and more ideas, frustratingthe colleague or customer whowants solutions. Ms. Vandivernotes that many companies lackidea generators and, when theyhit a roadblock that requires aninnovative solution, the best theycan do is replicate the past.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2. Editor

This person can help the team tofocus, picking out the ideas thatwill work by sharing some effec-tive decision-making approach.Often this person is the teamleader, but not necessarily.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

3. Maker

This individual focuses on ideaimplementation, not idea genera-tion. Makers concentrate on themarket opportunities and thehurdles to implementation. Theylike to get things done.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

4. Collaborator

These people get the team work-

ing together in an effective man-ner. Their role is more thanproject management; it involvesunderstanding the people and theprocess, and finding synergies.“Collaborators can be great teamleaders, but they don’t have tolead to be effective. What’s moreimportant is that they begenuinely fascinated by the capa-bilities and needs of the peoplearound them, and find it nearlyimpossible to ignore opportuni-ties for connection,” Ms. Vandiverwrites in Rotman Magazine.

These four roles may seem fa-miliar, but you may not havethought deeply about them whensetting up teams. Using themeffectively, she explains, willdepend on the team size and theproject phase but, in general, shesuggests following these rules:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Generators need editors

If you have great idea people,they are likely to be poor at ideaselection. They also prefer to bewith others who love to toss ideas

around forever rather than pickone and move forward. Pair themwith an editor.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Generators and editors need makers

Generators and editors have anAchilles heel: Their allegiance isto the idea, not its implementa-tion. That’s okay if the end goal isa presentation, for example. But ifthe purpose is to implement, aswith product development, find amaker – the implementer.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Large teams need collaborators

Small teams may be fine withpeople filling only the first two orthree roles. But as the team getslarger, and its dynamics becomemore essential to success, youmust find a collaborator.

Ms. Vandiver calls the process ofcombining different talents fordifferent purposes team alchemy.“What ultimately makes teamalchemy such a useful concept isthat it recognizes there are differ-

ent ways to be competent,” shewrites in the magazine article.“Just as every project requires adifferent mix of skills, every teamsize works best with a differentmix of roles. There are plenty ofcombinations that work, andmany more that don’t.”

In a two-member team, forexample, you want one ideagenerator, not two. “If you havetwo generators, it will never work.You absolutely need a generatorbut need to partner them with aneditor to screen the ideas, or amaker who forces the generator,through such efforts as prototyp-ing, to choose what to do,” shesaid in the interview.

For three-member teams, youusually need a generator, an edi-tor and a maker. Without a mak-er, the team can bog down; withall three roles filled, it can be veryproductive. As the team grows,and if the problem is complex, acollaborator is needed too.

“You need someone watchingthe team itself and concentratingon flow or synergy,” she said.

In the first stage of a project(defining the problem), an editoris needed to help understandwhat the task is. In the next stage(designing), generators are essen-tial. She suggests taking editorsout of the room initially so peoplecan push forward ideas withoutrestraints, before bringing backthat editing role. In the final stage(developing), the maker takes thelead. If roadblocks are hit, genera-tors may be needed for inspiredworkarounds.

Ms. Vandiver believes that peo-ple have innate strengths in onearea, but can be trained for otherroles – although when understress, they may revert to type.Her design house attracts lots ofgenerators but has trouble find-ing collaborators. That may notbe true of other companies, shenotes, but she is worried becausethe education system doesn’tteach this skill set. And for manyteams and projects, collaboratorsdetermine success.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

My colleague and I work from 9a.m. to 5 p.m. in a small office.I’ve been here for 11 years and myco-worker for six.

Our female boss treated us likefamily; our kids played togetherand we visited each other’shomes on many occasions.

All of a sudden, she stoppedtalking to us, got a security firmto install a camera that faces mydesk only (not my co-worker’s)and we have reasons to think shealso put something in our com-puters to monitor us.

We have been loyal workersand we never lied or stolen fromher. We are very hurt and can’tget past this insult. Our officedoesn’t deal with money, onlysales calls and customer service.

Our business has been veryslow and I approached my bossand offered to let her lay me off ifshe needed to and she refused.

What can we do?

You have a right to be concerned.These types of drastic changes inbehaviour rarely come out of theblue; there must have been atrigger, either at work or in herpersonal life. It is best if youspeak with her directly and sinceyou have previously enjoyed agreat relationship, I’d leverage itwhen bringing up the issue. Shemay not be aware of how upsetyou are.

Before you do that, think aboutwhat has happened recently.Have there been any otherimportant changes that mayhave prompted such a reaction?Make sure to address her openlyand don’t attack or accuse her.Rather, approach her by sayingthat you have noticed somechanges recently that concernyou and are making you uncom-fortable. Ask whether she canshare her decision about why shemade those changes, and whatconcerns she may have in thework environment that she

hopes video surveillance will fix.Offer solutions and ask for her

advice on how you can alleviatethose concerns. Given that shedeclined to lay you off, she mustappreciate your work, and hope-fully that means she’s willing towork together.

If you’re open and flexible, shemay be willing to work togetheron alternatives. If she’s not opento discussing it, or doesn’t see thesurveillance as an issue, you’re ina difficult position.

Ultimately, you have to decidewhether you can work underthose conditions, or whether it’sbest to move on to a workplacewith less Orwellian management.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

You have a difficult situation infront of you, and one that mostof us in the workplace thankfullyhaven’t had to experience (yet). Isuggest you look at it from a cou-ple of different perspectives,starting with the relationship-driven approach.

Obviously something has hap-pened, or your employer thinkssomething has happened, soapproach her and see whetheryou can find out what is wrongand how you can help makethings better. Do this off-site –take her for coffee or buy herlunch, anything to get her out-side the office. Remind her ofyour long and friendly relation-ship and ask what you can do tohelp get back that trust and re-spect.

If that fails, are there policies inplace that govern employeeexpectations of privacy? In Cana-da, there is an expectation thatthe employer will try to addressthe issue in less dramatic waysbefore resorting to surveillance.According to the federal privacycommissioner’s office, employersshould disclose what personal in-formation they are collectingfrom staff, why they are collect-ing it, and what they are doingwith that information.

If you don’t get satisfaction,then you should take the nextstep and file a complaint with theappropriate regulator, most likelyyour provincial privacy commis-sioner’s office.

REUTERS BREAKINGVIEWS

The United States’ dysfunc-tional politics might just pre-

serve the central bank’s indepen-dence – if inadvertently.President Barack Obama’s pick asthe next chairman of the FederalReserve, Larry Summers, was tor-pedoed by congressional oppos-ition. That suggests an unwel-come increase of politicalmeddling in the Fed’s affairs. Butif the Fed’s internal choice, JanetYellen, gets the job, isn’t the cen-tral bank’s sovereignty main-tained? It’s a messy way to theright outcome.

Throughout early 2013, themarket had pretty muchassumed that the presidentwould nominate the current vice-chair, Ms. Yellen, to take over forChairman Ben Bernanke whenhis second four-year term comesto a close in January. Instead, theWhite House shocked almost ev-erybody in early summer whenofficials floated the name of Mr.Obama’s former economic advis-er, Mr. Summers, instead.

The move actually followed apattern set by the President’sother nominations. As with cur-rent Treasury Secretary JacobLew, the President knows Mr.Summers well and trusts him. Hemay have naturally wantedsomeone ruling the Fed who hadhis back. Though it is the Presi-

dent’s prerogative to choose theFed chairman, Mr. Obama’schoice smacked of cronyism.

That, combined with the for-mer Treasury secretary’s historyof backing deregulation, his workon Wall Street and tempestuoustenure as Harvard University’spresident, was sufficient for law-makers in the President’s ownparty to take steps to block thenomination. They instead backedMs. Yellen, who is now the front-runner after Mr. Summers tookhimself out of the race.

So it would be easy to concludethat, should Ms. Yellen get thenod, congressional politics willhave determined the leadershipof the most important centralbank in the world like neverbefore in history. Fed indepen-dence, it might be said, wastherefore dead.

Not so fast. Mr. Obama’s pickwas worrisome in part because ofhis strong ties to the President.By contrast, Ms. Yellen is a Fedinsider with limited connectionsto the current political establish-ment. That’s not why Democratson the Hill plumped for her overMr. Summers. But it may turn outto be the best thing about herlikely confirmation, maintainingFed independence.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Raghuram Rajan, India’s newcentral bank chief, wants to

be his country’s Paul Volcker. Theformer Federal Reserve chair-man’s tight monetary policytipped the U.S. economy intorecession in the early 1980s, butsucceeded in curbing double-dig-it inflation rates. Following in hisfootsteps, Mr. Rajan raised themonetary authority’s key policyrate by 25 basis points on Sept.20.

Investors were shocked. Yes, in-flation is high at 9.5 per cent, butGDP growth is collapsing. Stripout government consumption,and real demand expanded only1.4 per cent from a year earlierbetween April and June. Combat-ting the Indian stagflation withhigher interest rates will mean aneven bigger sacrifice of output.Stocks fell as much as 3 per centin Mumbai.

Yet the central bank’s focus onprice stability is necessary. India’smyriad state subsidies are inher-ently inflationary, as they pumpcash into the economy withoutany commensurate increase inproduction. The federal budgetdeficit has reached 63 per cent ofthe fiscal-year target in just fourmonths. Recently announcedspending cuts are unlikely to beenough to reduce the deficit in astagnant economy.

Then there’s the beleagueredrupee. To Mr. Rajan’s credit, he isreversing the ill-conceiveddefence of the Indian currencymounted by his predecessor,Duvvuri Subbarao. Even while in-creasing the policy rate, Mr.Rajan cut by 75 basis points thepenal rate the central bankcharges liquidity-starved lenderswhich borrow directly from it.

Mr. Subbarao’s decision to jackup this rate by 200 basis pointswas ineffective. The rupee slid by22 per cent against the U.S. dollarbetween May and August. Thehigher rates did, however, raisethe lenders’ cost of financinglong-term loans with short-termdeposits and borrowings, effec-tively taxing a banking system al-ready creaking under mountingbad loans.

Mr. Rajan can hardly take thesuccess of his risky strategy forgranted. The currency has stabil-ized for now, but another rupeeslump will push inflation evenhigher by increasing the domes-tic cost of imported oil.

And how much higher can Indi-an interest rates go before Mr.Rajan’s political masters stophim in his tracks? After all, theyhave to face an election nextyear. Mr. Rajan doesn’t.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There was a time when theworld’s leading central bank-

ers could set off market alarmsby unexpectedly shifting policygears. Their typically guarded,opaque comments turned veter-an analysts into the Street’s ver-sion of Bletchley Parkcode-breakers, parsing sentencefragments for possible cluesabout slight changes in direction.

Soon after taking the helm ofthe Federal Reserve in 1987, AlanGreenspan made a rare appear-ance on a popular Sunday morn-ing TV news program. There wereno signs of inflation, he declared,but that could change. Whatabout interest rates? The Fedmight have to hike. But thenagain, it might not. Asked laterhow he thought he had fared, heresponded: “I’m not allowed tosay.”

But then along came a newwave of media-savvy centralbankers like Canada’s (and nowBritain’s) Mark Carney, the Fed’sBen Bernanke and others whopromised and sought to delivergreater transparency and fewersurprises. Mr. Carney’s trademarkpolicy of providing clear forwardguidance, linking future ratemoves to specific targets, caughton. The goal was to make it clearthat monetary policy, for exam-ple, would remain loose for along time and that marketplayers, borrowers and lendersshould behave accordingly.

But as Mr. Bernanke and otherFed policy-makers discovered lastweek, it’s still possible to con-found expectations and catchmarkets by surprise, even whenfollowing the right script anddoing nothing.

The communications break-down that triggered last week’suproar began earlier this yearwhen Mr. Bernanke set out theessential conditions – sturdiereconomic data, improved jobnumbers – for the eventual

reduction of the Fed’s unprece-dented bond purchases. But themessage that reached the mar-kets – aided and abetted by crit-ics of the biggest monetarystimulus in history, includingsome Fed regional bank chiefs –was that tapering was imminent.The great quantitative easing ex-periment would soon be over. Inresponse, long-term U.S. bondyields shot up and money pouredout of riskier assets around theworld.

Then came the September sur-prise. The Fed would not be trim-ming its monthly purchases of$85-billion (U.S.) worth of assets,and any future tapering woulddepend on “what’s needed forthe economy.”

The upshot was a flood of cap-ital back into bonds, equities, for-eign currencies and gold. By theend of the week, markets showedsigns of cooling again, at leastpartly because what Mr. Ber-nanke and the Fed were trying tosay last Wednesday had begun tosink in: The U.S. economy isn’t ingood enough shape yet to

remove even a few strands of themonetary safety net.

Not everyone was surprised bythis development.

The market reaction “onceagain reveals the degree to whichmainstream analysts have over-estimated the strength of ourcurrent economy,” famouslybearish U.S. investor Peter Schiffwrote in a commentary. “The Fedunderstands, as the marketseems not to, that the current‘recovery’ could not survive with-out continuation of massivemonetary stimulus.”

To say Mr. Schiff and otherharsh critics are no fan of Mr.Bernanke’s performance wouldbe putting it mildly.

“I knew that when they firststarted doing QE that they wouldnever stop. Because I knew itwouldn’t work,” Mr. Schiff, CEOof Connecticut-based Euro PacificCapital, told me during a recentToronto visit. “Which is whythey’re not going to taper. Theycan’t come out and admit that,so they pretend that they’regoing to. Just like they used to

pretend they had an exit strategy.Now they don’t pretend anymore. They’re never going to sellthose bonds.”

He likens the Fed’s monetarypolicy to a jetliner, with Mr. Ber-nanke in the pilot’s seat. “Heknows how to take off and heknows how to fly. … But he neverlearned how to land. He can’t tellthe passengers, because they’llpanic. So he has to make excuses.Meanwhile, he’s trying to lookthrough manuals. The problem isthere’s a limited amount of fuel,so he can’t procrastinate forever.”

Mr. Schiff has been singingfrom this gloomy songbook foryears. Like several other promi-nent doomsters, he traces theFed’s policy dilemma back to Mr.Greenspan and his aggressivemonetary easing in the wake ofthe 1987 market crash, whicheventually led to a series of dan-gerous asset bubbles.

He was early in predicting the2008 financial crash. But he wentfurther than most, warning thatthe debt-ridden U.S. economywould become mired in reces-

sion, the currency would col-lapse, interest rates would shootup and hyper-inflation wouldcast a dark shadow over the land.

Mr. Schiff acnowledges that cer-tain segments of the U.S. econo-my are doing well, citing the oilindustry and a handful of techplayers. And the perpetual goldbug remains as high as ever onthe yellow metal, citing the dropin price as a buying opportunity.

“The problem is that the brightspots [in the U.S. economy] areoutnumbered by the dark spots.The economy needs to beallowed to restructure. It’s goingto be painful for a lot of individu-als and it’s certainly going to bepainful for politicians. They maynot survive that, because duringthose tough years, there aregoing to be elections.” So Wash-ington’s survival instincts dictatepostponing the inevitable reck-oning, “even if it means that the[eventual] pain is worse.”

So far, Mr. Schiff has beenwrong. But it’s good to know thathis sunny pessimism hasn’tchanged.

While the failure of the Z10is now clear, the Q10 key-

board-enabled phone has beenavailable for sale in the U.S. onlysince June.

The company may have moreto say about how it has beenselling when it reports second-quarter earnings Friday morning.(Apple does not produce aphone with a physical keyboard.)

But some trends in the busi-ness market are not favourableto BlackBerry.

One is the growing movementtoward “bring-your-own-device”policies, where corporations askemployees to use their ownmobile phones for work e-mail,with most providing partialreimbursement.

This spring, a survey by Gartn-er Inc. of corporate chief infor-mation officers found that morebusinesses are moving towardthese policies: 38 per cent ofcompanies expect to stop prov-iding devices to staff by 2016.

If that’s true, then the businessand government market willslowly become much more likethe consumer market.

Even so, given its decliningmarket share and rising financiallosses, BlackBerry had littlechoice but to do something dras-tic, according to James Gellert,CEO of independent ratingsagency Rapid Ratings.

Mr. Gellert’s agency rates com-panies on based on their finan-cial health, giving them a scoreout of 100. It rates BlackBerry an18.

“Companies from this financialratings perspective have to dosomething. They’re either goingto fail or last some time as longas their cash allows them to, orthey do something radical,” Mr.Gellert said.

By slimming the companydown and making and market-ing fewer devices, BlackBerryCEO Thorsten Heins not onlycuts costs, but also likely makesthe company a more appealing

acquisition target.Many analysts have effectively

assigned no value to BlackBerry’sconsumer handset division, andestimate that it may actually costa buyer hundreds of millions ofdollars to shut the unit down.

Repositioning the company asa provider of enterprise servicesmay turn BlackBerry into asmaller, more focused company– one that may be of interest torivals such as Apple, which haveyet to establish dominance inthe business smartphone mar-ket.

The only good news the com-pany posted Friday was about in-

creased business for itsBlackberry Enterprise Server,which allows corporate IT de-partments to manage all kinds ofsmartphones – not just BlackBer-rys – using a single piece of soft-ware.

The company said it had in-stalled 25,000 commercial andtest servers, up from 19,000 inJuly.

Still, BlackBerry faces numer-ous hurdles in finding a willingbuyer.

One of its long-rumoured sui-tors, Microsoft, recently opted tobuy Nokia’s handset divisioninstead.

Further complicating matters isthe fact that some of BlackBer-ry’s potential suitors are based inChina.

And because BlackBerry de-vices and infrastructure are stillused in many of the most sensi-tive offices in Ottawa, the federalgovernment is likely to block anysuch bid.

Companies from this

financial ratings perspective

have to do something.

They’re either going to fail or

last some time as long as

their cash allows them to, or

they do something radical.

James GellertCEO, Rapid Ratings

Polls had suggested that thelead of her conservative par-

ty had narrowed considerablyand that the opposition SocialDemocratic Party (SPD) wascoming on strong, even if therewas no chance that its leader,Peer Steinbruck, would replaceher as chancellor.

The exit polls gave the CDU/CSU 42.4 per cent of the vote, animpressive gain from the 33.8 percent the conservatives scored inthe 2009 election, when Ms. Mer-kel was forced into a coalitionwith the small, pro-business lib-eral party, the Free DemocraticParty (FDP). The FDP got wipedout on Sunday, meaning herCDU/CSU could rule with anabsolute majority or, failing that,within a coalition with the SocialDemocrats.

The latter scenario – a coalitionof centre-right and centre-leftparties – would not be as awk-ward as it looks on paper. Thetwo parties are not light yearsapart on economic policies; theyformed a previous coalitiongovernment, from 2005 to 2009,when Mr. Steinbruck was Ms.Merkel’s finance minister.

In theory, Ms. Merkel’s soaringpopularity would give her the po-litical clout to treat the bailed-out euro countries – and theones that may be unable toescape a future bailout of somesort, Spain and Italy – any way

she pleases. Germany is the eurozone’s paymaster. It funds thebiggest single share of the bail-outs (Greece has soaked up €250-billion – $349-billion – in interna-tional rescue funds so far) andexerts enormous influence overthe European Commission andthe European Central Bank. Nochange in bailout strategy is pos-sible without her approval.

Ms. Merkel could changecourse. She could, for instance,ease up on austerity, which theGreeks consider punitive, andembrace euro bonds, whichwould pool some of the debtobligations of the 17 euro zonenations to bring down the fund-ing costs of the struggling coun-tries. Equally, she could hardenher austerity and reformdemands to the point that Greeceand the other bailout victimswould have no choice but toditch the euro and reprint theirold currencies.

She will probably not resort toeither of these extremes for thevery good reason that Germanvoters aren’t demanding it. Sun-day’s vote said that Ms. Merkel’scareful, no-surprise strategy tokeep euro zone (barely) intact atthe minimum possible cost toGerman taxpayers is the rightcourse, even if it lacks pluck anddaring.

She can get away with hergrind-on approach to the crisis

because, so far, the distractionand expense of the crisis hasbarely dented the German econo-my. Exports are strong and un-employment, at 5.3 per cent, is ata 20-year low. Germany is grow-ing again. Even better, the oppos-ition SPD has always voted infavour of Ms. Merkel’s Europeanpolicies. The SPD seems moreconcerned about domestic poli-cies, such as taxation (it wantshigher tax rates, something Ms.Merkel opposes).

“We don’t see a change at all onEuropean politics,” Mr. Schaffriksaid. “The German parliamenttends to be very pragmatic whenit comes to these things.

Ms. Merkel’s euro zone strategy,however, is not entirely certain.That’s because the makeup ofher government was still an openquestion Sunday night, in spite ofher victory. If she nails an abso-lute majority, it is bound to be amere one- or two-seat majority,meaning it could be unstable. Ifshe is forced into a coalition withthe SPD, the SPD might demanda change in bailout strategy as acondition of its support.

But don’t count on it. The crisis,though diminished, will probablydrag on under the same policies,give or take a tweak here andthere. Coalition or not, Ms. Mer-kel’s unadventurous economicdecisions have won over the Ger-man electorate.

Mr. Banks and his yet-to-be-hired team of industry veter-

ans will develop specific strate-gies for the financial, automotive,consumer products, technologyand telecommunications, e-com-merce, gaming and travel sectors.

He used the example of thefinancial services industry, whichis “to a large extent driven bycredit card sign-ups.”

“Our global domain expert inthe financial services space willunderstand the dynamics ofacquiring and retaining credit-card users and suggest ways Face-book can drive those sales,” hesaid. “If we don’t have a productthat exists right now, they can in-fluence the product and develop-ment teams to build somethingto take advantage of that oppor-tunity.”

It’s no mistake that the newdivision will be run out of Toron-to. Canadians are among theheaviest users of Facebook, andMr. Banks said the California-based company likes the idea ofrunning the operation out of an-other country given its interna-tional focus.

Other social media companieshave taken a similar approach.When Twitter Inc. approachedKirstine Stewart to be its Cana-dian managing director, for

example, company executivesexpressed interest in her back-ground in television broadcast-ing. In addition to her Canadianduties, Ms. Stewart spends timeworking with the company’smain office as it works to build aglobal television strategy.

Facebook’s shares have been atall-time highs following therelease of second-quarter resultsin July that showed the com-pany’s focus on mobile advertis-ing was contributing to rapidgrowth. Mobile ad revenue was$655-million, or 41 per cent of thecompany’s quarterly ad revenueof $1.6-billion, helping to pushthe company to a $333-millionsecond quarter profit.

Chief operating officer SherylSandberg told analysts in July thecompany must focus on particu-lar industries to increase profits,foreshadowing the creation ofMr. Banks’s new division.

“I think as you think about dif-ferent industries using the powerof online marketing, we see dif-ferent levels of adoption,” Ms.Sandberg said.

“But I’m a believer that overtime, this is where people will bespending their time. And anymarketer who’s trying to reachpeople is going to spend theirresources here as well.”

The Strategist

To get it all, get to bed!My whole life changed in 2007when I fainted from exhaustion. Ihit my head on my desk, I brokemy cheekbone, I had four stitch-es on my right eye. It was a rudeawakening in terms of how I hadbeen leading my life and it wasthe beginning of redirectingmyself. I started prioritizingsleep. I now get between sevenand eight hours every night,which is absolutely essential tomy well-being. We have two naprooms at the Huffington Post. Atfirst people assumed that nobodywould be caught dead usingthem, but now they are perpetu-ally booked. When you have a 20-minute nap, it’s amazing howrecharged you are. The worst iswalking through your day like azombie.

To win the game, change the rulesThere are institutional barriersthat women are facing right now,there’s no question about that,but I also think we need what Icall the third women’s revolu-tion. The first one was about get-ting the vote, the second one wasabout complete access andequality, equal pay. We’re notthere yet, but I don’t think we’regoing to get there without thethird women’s revolution, whichis about changing the world thatwomen are competing in insteadof embracing it. The structure ofthe workplace right now doesn’twork for men or women. It’s fuel-led by burnout, sleep depriva-tion, people making baddecisions. Look at the financialmeltdown in the States, the cur-rent gridlock in Washington. Ithink everyone might benefitfrom a good nap.

Not every project needs to be finishedI have a ground rule: You cancomplete a project by droppingit. If you’re reading a book andit’s just sort of eeennh, put itaway and start something new. Ihave friends who will keep thatbook by their nightstand formonths and it prevents themfrom picking up another bookthat they will actually read.

TRISH McALASTER / THE GLOBE AND MAIL

When Karen Robson wasabout to turn 40 earlier this

year, her doctor ordered a batteryof tests – including a blood testfor hepatitis C. Robson, a Toron-to-based sociologist, said she wasshocked when the results con-firmed that she had antibodiesfor hepatitis C. “I went into panicmode,” she said.

Robson has no idea how shecontracted the virus: She hasnever received a blood transfu-sion or medical attention in a for-eign country, and neverexperimented with injectiondrugs, she said. Doctors suggestedthere was a slim chance she wasinfected via dental work or shar-ing a toothbrush. “If I can getthis, anyone can,” she said.

Hepatitis C is sometimes seenas a drug addict’s disease, butrecent data suggest the largestgroup of Canadians carrying thevirus consists of average adultsborn between 1945 and 1975. Lastyear, evidence of high infectionrates among boomers promptedthe U.S. Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention to recom-mend that all adults bornbetween 1945 and 1965 be testedand treated for hepatitis C beforethis latent disease becomes ahealth crisis.

That testing guideline was sup-ported by the Canadian LiverFoundation, which expanded thebirth year to 1975 “due to theprevalence of hepatitis C in theimmigrant population,” said Dr.Morris Sherman, the foundation’schairman and a liver specialist atToronto General Hospital.

National health agencies haveyet to recommend hepatitis Ctesting beyond high-risk groups,which include immigrants andactive injection drug users. Butaccording to Canadian epidemi-ologists, hepatitis C is a tickingtime bomb. Many predict that

without a co-ordinated plan fordiagnosis and treatment, largenumbers of boomers who haveunknowingly carried the virus fordecades will develop cirrhosisand liver cancer, or suffer fromliver failure.

“I don’t want to see govern-ment inaction now resulting inan epidemic of end-stage liverdisease,” Sherman said. He esti-mates that more than 400,000Canadians carry hepatitis C,based on data from the U.S. andfrom British Columbia, which is aNorth American leader in track-ing the disease.

In B.C., for instance, it’s estimat-ed that one in 33 boomers hasbeen infected with hepatitis C,said Mel Krajden, medical direc-tor of hepatitis services at theB.C. Centre for Disease Control.

That means that hepatitis C is atleast four or five times morecommon than HIV, Krajdenadded.

Hepatitis C is a silent killer,Sherman explained: “The vastmajority of patients do not getany symptoms of hepatitis C untiltheir liver fails, usually in their60s or older.”

Infections in the boomer popu-lation are largely due to experi-mentation with recreationaldrugs, he said. “Injection drug

use was really quite common inthe 1960s and seventies,” he said,adding that one-time use isenough to drive up the risk.

Other sources of infection in-clude tattooing in unhygienicconditions and emergency med-ical treatment in countries withhigh rates of hepatitis C, includ-ing Egypt, Vietnam, Pakistan,Bangladesh and Somalia. Trans-fusions of tainted blood accountfor only a small percentage of un-detected hepatitis C infections,

Sherman said. The virus can bespread sexually, but it is uncom-mon since it is transmittedthrough blood-to-blood contact.

Mark Hull, a physician at St.Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver anda researcher with the B.C. Centrefor Excellence in HIV/AIDS, esti-mates the crisis point for hepati-tis C-related diseases is about adecade away. Since availabletreatments can cure about 60 percent of hepatitis C patients, headded, “I think there’s an urgen-cy in moving forward now.”

Sherman and others will meetwith the Public Health Agency ofCanada in October to argue forexpanded testing. Withoutnational and provincial guide-lines, most family physicians areunaware of the value of one-timetesting for hepatitis C in adultsover the age of 38, Sherman said.PHAC currently maintains that“in the general population, therisk of contracting hep C is low,”said agency spokesperson SylwiaKrzyszton.

Robson’s case was unusual. Herdoctor was vigilant because hehad seen many patients withhepatitis C, she said. Fortunately,a few months after her initialblood tests, Robson discoveredfrom a viral lode test that herbody’s immune system had elim-inated the virus. Studies suggestthe phenomenon occurs inroughly a quarter of people withthe disease.

Although she will always haveantibodies for hepatitis C, Robsonis no longer a carrier of the virusor at increased risk of liver dis-ease. She is one of the lucky ones.

The latest personal fitnesstrackers and exercise

machines offer a bewilderingarray of metrics to track andquantify your progress. But thesimplest and most broadlyapplicable remains the humblecalorie, which reflects both theintensity and duration of yourworkout.

The problem is that the esti-mates you get from machines andonline calculators reflect popula-tion averages and neglect individ-ual differences. To get a morepersonalized take on your calorieuse, and to accurately comparethe results of different kinds ofworkouts, keep the followingthree factors in mind:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Body shape

Researchers produce calorie esti-mates by asking volunteers toperform various tasks while mea-suring their oxygen consump-tion, which allows them tocalculate energy use. To accountfor the fact that volunteers comein all shapes and sizes, the aver-age result is expressed in caloriesper kilogram of body weight –which is why exercise machinesask you to input your weight.

This approach produces decentestimates, but it overlooks thefact that two people with thesame weight can have dramati-cally different height and bodycomposition. People with morebody fat than average burn fewercalories per kilogram of overallweight during weight-bearingexercises such as walking and jog-ging, which means that cardiomachines overestimate the num-ber of calories they burn.

Height also makes a difference,according to a new study justpublished in the Journal of

Applied Physiology by research-ers at Southern Methodist Univer-sity in Texas. Studying subjectsranging from 3-foot-6 to 6-foot-11,they came up with a formulabased on both height and weightthat predicted the energy cost ofwalking more accurately than thetraditional weight-only formula.

So how much difference doesthis make in practice? For some-one who is 5-foot-2 with a BMI of25, the standard formula under-estimates calorie burn whilewalking briskly by about 5 percent; for someone 6-foot-2 withthe same BMI of 25, the standardformula overestimates it by about5 per cent.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Fitness

The fitter you get, the easier yourworkout will feel if you don’t in-crease the intensity. That’s re-flected in calorie burn too: As youget fitter, you body gets more effi-cient and needs fewer calories tomaintain the same pace, even ifyour weight stays the same.

One way to correct for fitness isto measure heart rate while youexercise. Research going back tothe 1980s has found that there’s adirect relationship between heartrate and calories during “moder-ate” exercise, when heart rate isbetween about 90 and 150 beatsper minute. The problem is thatthe exact relationship is differentfor each person and requires care-ful measurement of maximumheart rate, so it’s not very practi-cal.

The best use for heart-rate mon-itors is to compare your personalrate of calorie burning whiledoing different activities. A SouthAfrican study in 2005 found thatthe relationship between heartrate and calorie consumption isessentially the same for runningand cycling. That means if you’reused to jogging at 140 beats perminute, you can monitor yourheart rate to figure out how fastyou need to cycle to reach thesame level of energy consump-tion.

The same should apply to most

continuous aerobic activities thatyou perform upright, such asstair-climbing or cross-countryskiing. Different rules apply to in-termittent activities like liftingweights; heart rate is also lower ifyou’re horizontal or underwater,so swimming heart rates aren’tdirectly comparable.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Heat

Exercise feels harder in hot condi-tions, so it’s no surprise thatmaintaining the same pace on ahot day burns more calories. Buteven if you slow down enough tokeep your effort level the same,exercise in the heat still placesgreater demands on your bodyand burns more calories – in par-ticular, it burns through your car-bohydrate stores more quicklywithout changing your rate of fat-burning.

This may sound like a bad out-come, since most people whocount calories are really trying toshed fat. But in most cases, whatreally matters is how many calo-

ries you burn, not whether thosecalories came from fat or carbo-hydrate stores. Researchers atAustralia’s Garvan Institute ofMedical Research published astudy in 2010 in which mice weregenetically altered to burn morefat instead of carbohydrate, butthe change had no impact ontheir body weight or body com-position.

In the end, knowing the exactnumber of calories you burnedduring a workout isn’t all thatuseful for most people. But un-derstanding how to compare thecalorie-burning effects of differ-ent kinds of workouts and how toadjust for changing conditionscan help you plan an exerciseprogram that progresses steadilyand consistently. If you’re tryingto lose weight, there’s no magiccalorie-burning number otherthan “a little more than lastweek.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Make calorie counters work for you

There is one tired old clichéthat should be killed off and

put out of its misery. And it’s thispiece of advice given to thosepeople unaccustomed to publicspeaking: “If you’re nervous, justimagine the audience naked.”

Rarely has anything so foolishbecome accepted wisdom. Thevery idea of imagining most peo-ple naked is a horrifying thought.It would put you off, not makeyou less nervous. Or maybe that’sjust me.

And speaking of me, I’m not inthe habit of imagining that thelady news anchors are nakedwhen I’m watching the news onTV. Obviously, that’s just me. I’man exception. And the truth ofthis assertion is found in the factthat the online service calledNaked News has been succeedingsince 1999. Doing quite well,thank you very much.

Apparently a lot of men fanta-size about the lady newsreadergetting naked. I cannot say if, inturn, lady viewers fantasizeabout the male anchors beingnaked. Even weighing up that

possibility unnerves me. Dowomen think about Pastor Mans-bridge disrobing while he’s jaw-ing on about the price of Arcticpatrol ships? Perish the thought.

Naked News Uncovered (SuperChannel, 11 p.m.) is a new andnutty documentary series aboutthe Naked News, which has beendoing the same darn thing overand over on the Web for 14 years.That “thing” is comely womenundressing while reading theday’s news. (When Naked Newsfirst launched, there were alsomale reporters disrobing, butthat programming was later

dropped.) A simple concept in acrazily complex world, it justkeeps going because it deliverswhat a bunch of men are fanta-sizing about when they the watchTV news.

There’s a Naked News studio ata secret location somewhere inToronto and that’s where we’retaken. The ostensible point of theeight-part series is to documentpotential changes to the NakedNews recipe. The owner calls forrevitalization and new ideas aretried. This is very much an “os-tensible” reason, because there’snot much you can do when

you’ve a foolproof recipe.A naked cooking show, per-

haps? They already have one ofthose and we watch as a produc-er becomes a tad irritated withthe naked hosts, Rachelle Wildeand Peyton Priestly, who haveopened champagne, and are verytipsy during the shoot. (There ismuch struggling to pronouncethe word “eviscerated.”)

In general, though, the idea isthat Naked News is a kooky, sur-real place to work and deservingof attention. Thing is, it isn’t sur-real. No matter how many timesthe staff announce that it’s total-ly wacky at Naked News, itactually looks boring. It’s justthat women take off their clothesall the time, and, like anythingelse, you can get used to that.

The only interesting characteris Victoria Sinclair, 47, who hasbeen with Naked News since thestart. She seems to care deeplyabout the place and worries thatthe concept has become staleand the company might go un-der. A fuss is made about Sin-clair’s age, which seems a bitrude. One the bosses says, “Howlong she can stay naked in frontof the camera is anyone’s guess.”Fact is, most of the other womenaren’t that interesting. They tellthe camera they’re kinda crazy ordifficult, but Sinclair seems to bethe only thoughtful, canny per-son in the company, andgenuinely strange, too.

It’s hard to figure out what’s

going with Naked News Uncovered.This isn’t a faux documentarygiving us fiction as fact. Or per-haps it is that, but not done well.And if it’s a sincere look at NakedNews, that’s nice, but it becomestedious. Sure, like Naked Newsitself, it’s fun for a wee while, buteight half hours devoted to itseems excessive. Of course thatmight just be me – this columnwas written by a fully clothed col-umnist.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It could (and probably should)be argued that wacked-out

pairings, such as Lou Reed andMetallica’s 2011 collaboration,Lulu, results in healthy musicalhybrids – if not for the final prod-uct, at least for the effort. Luluwas heavily appraised if nothingelse, which indicates a certainlevel of fascination. Pop-culturewriter Chuck Klosterman, in hisreview, wrote, “If the Red HotChili Peppers acoustically cov-ered the 12 worst Primus songsfor Starbucks, it would still be(slightly) better than this.”

A kinder suspicion and deeperanticipation greeted the newslast year that the Roots had alliedwith Elvis Costello on a projectinvolving the R&B reimaginationof the bespectacled singer-song-writer’s past catalogue. Bringingdifferent kinds of music into thesame space has never been aliento Costello, who rewrites thebook on interesting partnerships.He has connected in the pastwith the martini-pop maestroBurt Bacharach, the bayou musicbox Allen Toussaint and theSwedish mezzo-soprano AnneSofie von Otter.

What is intriguing with Wise UpGhost, the true-aiming artist’smarvellous new album with theRoots, is its tentative beginnings,its momentum and morphing,and the growth of the multicult-ural and cross-generationalunion between Costello and theRoots leader Ahmir (Questlove)Thompson. The result is one ofthe most talked-about records ofthe year – not counting theblockbusters – and the hopefulbanishment of the phrase “un-likely collaboration” from thelexicon evermore.

“From where I’m standing, it’scompletely natural,” says Costel-lo of the project. “There are noaffectations to it.” At themoment, Costello is standing inthe New York home he shareswith his wife, the Canadian vo-cal-jazz pianist Diana Krall. (Theyhave twin sons, speaking of col-laborations.) “I’ve gotten overthe fact that every record youmake has to be on an equal foot-ing.”

In 2009, Costello was to appearon NBC’s Late Night with JimmyFallon, for which Thompson andthe Roots are the house band.Costello rang Kareem Wiggins, adrummer who works with Krall,and asked him if he thought theRoots would back him for the ap-pearance. Unbeknownst to Cos-tello, Thompson was laying thegroundwork for what wouldbecome Wise Up Ghost. Costello

and the high-haired drummerare unabashed music nerds;Thompson would need to digdeep to impress his counterpart.

And so, for Costello’s walk-onmusic, the Roots played an oldBritish commercial jingle thatoriginally featured young Costel-lo and his singing father, RossMacManus. For the performanceitself, an obscure variation ofCostello’s High Fidelity was set-tled upon. The track is off 1980’sGet Happy, an album influencedby soul and southern R&B.

Costello would appear twicemore on the show; last spring,Thompson pitched his long-for-mulating project to Costello.

Asked about his past outside-the-box collaborations, Costellobrings up 2004’s Il Sogno, a balletscore for orchestra commis-sioned by Italy’s Aterballettodance company. “Do I think I’mas good as Tchaikovsky?” asksCostello, referring to the Russiancomposer who wrote operas andreceived news from Chuck Berry.

“Of course not. But why wouldyou not have the experience? It’slike looking at a roller coaster.You want to know what it feelslike, even if you don’t ever do itagain. And of course you comeout of it with something of val-ue.”

Looking back on the earliestdays of what would become WiseUp Ghost, the respect betweenThompson and Costello was two-way. The former said of the latterin a Mojo magazine feature, “Ididn’t want to be the bad guythat put a stain on his legacy.”Costello laughs when that quoteis brought up. “Well, I didn’t wantto be the bad guy who drove theRoots down into new-wave hell.”

The original intent of albumproducer Steve Mandel was torecast Costello lyrics, particularlypolitically charged ones thatwould still ring true today. Forexample, the fierce Stick Out YourTongue gathers lines from Pillsand Soap, Hurry Down Doomsdayand National Ransom. “I didn’t

feel I had to write about thingsthat were deeply personal andprivate,” says Costello, “becausethat would be asking the Rootsand Steven and Ahmir to sub-scribe to whatever experience Iwas having at the moment.”

At first, the process took theform of Thompson sending Cos-tello beats upon which the recon-figured lyrics were laid. Acomfort level developed after atwo-day session in Vancouver.Eventually Costello began contri-buting altogether new lyrics, in-cluding highly personal ones forThe Puppet has Cut His Strings.

For that track, Costello hadbeen sent a melancholy piece ofmusic. He wrote the words lateone night and recorded the voca-ls on his computer at his kitchencounter. “Lyrically, it is the exactdescription, or as much as Icould tolerate it, of my dad’s lasthours,” says Costello, whose fa-ther (like Thompson’s father)was a working musician. “Ahmirwouldn’t let me change the lyr-

ics, and he wouldn’t let me singit again.”

Thompson had conceived ofthe original music as the openingof the album, but Costello stipu-lated that the finished song beused as the last of the threebonus tracks. The deal was that itbe placed at the end, becauseCostello didn’t want to hear it oneach listen of the record. “It hasto be the very last thing to givepeople, because I don’t want togo to that place every time.”

To Costello, the Accidents WillHappen singer, the song is a sym-bol of what can occur when trustis put into something unperceiv-ed, and within a journey into theartistic unknown. “We travelledall that way, from the first idea ofplaying some songs for an occa-sion, to writing about the loss ofsomeone that you would feel themost. That’s a pretty good pieceof travelling, among a group ofpeople who didn’t know eachother very well.

“That’s lucky.”

Ask one of the 10 Polaris final-round jurors which of the 10

shortlisted albums for Canada’snational music prize is the fav-ourite to take home the prize onMonday, and you might get 10different answers.

It could be Hamilton’s White-horse (The Fate of the WorldDepends on This Kiss), Toronto’sMetric (Synthetica), Montreal’sGodspeed You! Black Emperor(Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend),Ottawa’s A Tribe Called Red(Nation II Nation), Toronto’s Metz(self-titled), Edmonton’s PurityRing (Shrines), Montreal’s ColinStetson (New History Warfare Vol.3: To See More Light), Vancouver’sTegan and Sara (Heartthrob) andMontreal’s Young Galaxy (Ultra-marine).

Or it could be Zaki Ibrahim, forher sublime blend of soul, house,hip-hop and world-folk textures.In fact, the view from here is thisNanaimo, B.C.-born South Afri-can not only could be but shouldbe the recipient of the $30,000prize, awarded annually to thealbum judged to be the finest,with no weight placed on genreor sales.

low Polaris nominee, is rentingout its house in Hamilton thesedays. They have no home.They’re on the road, and I betanother nominee, Metric, isn’tgetting a lot of home-cookedmeals these days either.

There’s a line in your song Drawthe Line, which I’m probablytaking far out of context, but theline is: “I don’t want favours, Idon’t like government.” Did you

receive any public money torecord the album?

Ah. Well, the actual sense of thatsong is that revolution inevitablybecomes institution, and thenthings get weird. But, yes, thereactually was public funding.

One of the moments on therecord that intrigued me wasthe outro to Something in theWater. It’s a squawking sound,and it reminds me of some ofthe avant-garde saxophone ofColin Stetson, another Polarisshortlister. What is it?

It came from a broken Moog,from the seventies. It fell off itsstand, and it was out of key. Wekept the wonkiness, though. Wejust went with it, and it ended upbeing kind of cool.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This album is an independentrelease, but you had a majorlabel deal at one point, andearned a Juno nomination. Haveyou had problems in the past,when it comes to the kind ofmusic that was expected of you?

I’ve always been conscious of it. Iknow what I’m like in confinedsituations, when it comes to ex-pression. But I will take criticism,if it helps to move things along.The deal I had in 2008 was withSony. I was very cautious of notwanting to have a spiked careerthat landed me on my face. Mu-

sic is something I want to bedoing freely when I’m 80. So, I’drather choose a path of a slowrise, rather than a marketingmachine that’s going to put mein latex or any comfortable situa-tions.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

One of the odd things about thisalbum is that it was originallyreleased in South Africa, and itdidn’t get distribution here untilafter it was shortlisted for thePolaris. You’re now with thePirates Blend label, which ishome to Polaris hopefuls ATribe Called Red. But the albumis being distributed by Sony,right?

Yes, I’m working with a lot of thesame team members I originallyhad with Sony. They’re still there.They’re rooting for me. They’reexcited, and I feel they believe inmy judgment.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

No [laughs]. However, if I dochoose to swing naked from awrecking ball, I will.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“But we need to do more,” saysJoanne Simons, The Society’schief mission officer. “We needto build awareness, to advocateand engage with all stakehold-ers to create a national strategy,and make arthritis part of thenational conversation.”This is where Bayer comes in:the pharmaceutical company,which is celebrating its 150thanniversary in 2013, has been aproud partner of The Society for20 years.“The support of corporate part-ners like Bayer helps us raiseawareness without taking awayfrom our core programming inresearch and services,” explainsSimons. “They understand thegoal is tomake lives better.”Bayer is the company behindALEVE®, an analgesic often usedto relieve joint pain from mild tomoderate arthritis. Lasting up to12 hours, it reduces the need forsomeone with arthritis to haveto re-dose throughout the day.And this fall, Bayer is introducinga new rubberized red cap that’seasier to open for people withjoint pain.However, says Kent Hatton,director ofmarketing at Bayer, thecompany recognizes that medi-cation is just part of the solutionfor coping with the symptomsof arthritis. “‘Science for a betterlife’ is Bayer’s global mission, andthis aligns with The Arthritis Soci-ety’s stated goal of setting lives inmotion, and enhancing the livesof people with arthritis.”

There are more than 100 differ-ent types of arthritis. Inflamma-tory forms such as rheumatoidarthritis, where your immune sys-tem attacks healthy joint tissue,affect roughly a million Canadi-ans. They can strike anyone at anyage, of any ethnic background,regardless of physical condition.Osteoarthritis (OA) is much morecommon, and while it’s largelythought to be caused by wear andtear on a specific joint, there isgrowing evidence of a tie to thebody’s inflammatory processesas well. Other prominent forms ofarthritis include lupus, psoriaticarthritis, ankylosing spondylitisand gout.With such a complex range ofconditions to cope with and nocure on the immediate horizon,says Simons, a vital part of TheSociety’smission –with thehelp ofpartners like Bayer – is to provide

support to Canadians living withthe disease.“We offer courses in pain self-management, which are peer-to-peer sessions delivered in a class-room setting, as well as onlinelearning modules to managefatigue, self-advocacy and work-place accommodation.”Simons describes some of thestrategies to manage arthritis,such as good nutrition and exer-cise habits, meditation (to visionyour way through pain), reduc-ing stress and the importance ofquality sleep.“People learn that arthritisdoesn’t have to define who youare, it doesn’t need to control yourlife. You can empower yourself tolivewell.”It’s a message that rings truefor Caddy. As a public person,she is often asked to speak out onbehalf of many causes. “I wanted

to be aligned with an organiza-tion that had meaning for me.Believe me, I am grateful nowthat I can live so fully.”But she wishes she had madea connection with The Societywhen she was first diagnosed.“There is great value in talkingto people who share your experi-ence, speak the same language,for emotional and practicaladvice. Reading is great, but see-ing someone coping and manag-ing a full life – that is what I wantto spread the word about.”Thanks to partners like Bayer,The Arthritis Society will be ableto spread the word to more Cana-dians, helping them set their ownlives inmotion.

Sharon Caddy had arthritis foryears. “But it didn’t impactme until my early 40s, when

I suddenly needed a hip replace-ment,” she says.The CTS host and producer – herseries TheDocSideon thebest newCanadian and international docu-mentary films debuts this month– didn’t know where to turn. “Iwas an active person. I exerciseregularly and do Pilates. Workingin broadcast I was literally on therun! And then I was sidelined. Theoperation was the worst, becauseI didn’t know what to expect, andI didn’t give myself time to heal,and to process. But mostly I didn’tknowwho to talk to, where to findinformation, how to get help. Mylifewas turned upside down.”Caddy is not alone. We are anaging population and it is show-ing in our joints: there are over4.6 million Canadian adults liv-ing with arthritis. In a generation,that number is expected to riseto 7.5 million.But arthritis is not just a diseaseof the elderly: it strikes peopleof all ages. Nearly 60 percent ofCanadians with arthritis are ofworking age, with significantimpacts on Canada’s workforceand productivity.Over its 65-year history, TheArthritis Society has providedover $185million for research intoarthritis diagnosis and treatment,and continues to support Cana-dian researchers as they work tobetter understand this diseaseand search for a cure.

ARTHRITIS IN CANADA – SETTING LIVES IN MOTION

Partnerships essentialfor arthritis solutionsThe Arthritis Society and Bayer celebrate20 year collaboration

Numbers drive business. Andthe hard numbers on arthri-tis are impossible to deny: it

is one of the leading causes of dis-ability in Canada, and costs oureconomy$33 billion a year inmed-ical costs, lost income and taxes,according to a 2011 report from theArthritis Alliance of Canada.Employers need to addressarthritis in the workplace ifthey want to maximize employ-ees’ ability to contribute to thecompany’s performance.The challenge is how to get there.First, we have to address thecultural mindset around chronicillness, says Dr. Monique Gignac,an expert in health and socialpsychology, and a senior scientistat the Institute for Work & Healthin Toronto.“Employers are facing a skillsshortage as boomers retire, andwedon’t want to lose seasoned work-ers,” she says. “There is no one-size-fits-all workplace policy.”Employees can be more effec-tive, explains Dr. Gignac, “withearly recognition andeffective self-management to sustain energyover time.”Flexibility is key, explains Dr.Gignac. Where possible employ-ers can “offer flex-time and work-from-home options, and recog-nize the episodic nature of thedisease, allowing for doctor andphysiotherapy appointments.”She also highlights the need forergonomic assessments, and forbenefits, insurance and employeeassistance programs that reflectthe chronic nature of the disease.Janet Yale, president and CEO ofThe Arthritis Society, points to TheSociety’s 2012 Fit for Work survey,which found that 70 percent ofrespondents suffered workplace

anxiety related to how their arthri-tis will affect their current andfutureworking lives.“Pain and fatigue from arthritiscan make it difficult to performany job, as do anxiety and frustra-tion,” saysYale, “yetmore thanhalfof people living with arthritis arenot willing to tell their employerof their condition” she says. Nearly60 percent of Canadians livingwith arthritis are of working age,and if they aren’t willing to talkabout it, they can’t ask for help.”The Society advises employ-ers to create an open, supportiveenvironment where employeesare encouraged to come forwardabout their condition withoutfear of stigma or penalty. Offeringpractical solutions canhelp reducestress and anxiety, and make itpossible for employeeswith arthri-tis to performmore effectively.It’s worth it, says Deanna Mat-zanke, director of diversity andinclusion at Scotiabank. For thepast 15 years, the bank has beenproviding modified worksta-tions and specialized services foremployees with a variety of condi-tions. A centralized fund takes thecosting issues away from specificdepartments. Ergonomic assess-ments, flexible work-time andphased retirements are part of thebroader policy.Scotiabank also has an IT groupto devise computer solutions foremployees with specialized needs,such as voice-recognition softwareto assist those who have difficultytyping. “They are extremely cre-ative in finding resources that canreally help,” says Matzanke. Sheadds that there is a misconceptionabout the cost of these enhance-ments, which can often run wellunder $500.

It has been 20 years since Win-nipeg insurance consultant MikeBellhouse was diagnosed withrheumatoid arthritis. “My firstthought was, ‘How am I going tolive with this? What will the futurehold?’ You get pretty bummedout,” Bellhouse says. “But it’s not alife sentence: it’s a lifestyle change.”His employer at the time wasvery supportive, but in his years asamaster instructor for theArthritisSelf-Management Program he hasencountered “many examples” ofprejudice in the workplace. “Youfear people think it affects yourmental abilities.”Bellhouse says it is necessaryto recharge your batteries, “to havea positive attitude, to strengthenyour muscles around your joints.”His most important take-away?“Youneeda goodwork/life balanceto copewith a chronic condition.”

Movement is something mostof us take for granted. Butfor people with arthritis,

says Janet Yale, president andCEO of The Arthritis Society, mov-ing is the last thing you want todo when you are in pain. “Move-ment is very important for jointhealth, and can actually help witharthritis symptoms.”The Society gets themessage outthrough the annual Walk to FightArthritis. “When you are active,you are feeding your joints,” saysYale. “Your bones become moreresilient, you are strengtheningthe surroundingmuscles.”The secret, according to Dr. JuliaAlleyne, is “healthy activity” and“a healthy range of motion.” Dr.Alleyne served as the chiefmedicalofficer for TeamCanada at the 2012Olympics, and has been namedCMO for the Toronto 2015 PanAm/Parapan AmGames. She is also thechair of Bone and Joint Canada.“We can reduce damage andseverity of osteoarthritis by stay-ing active with a diverse range oflow-impact activities,” says Dr.Alleyne. “Activity can be benefi-cial to most arthritis patients, therule is, start low and go slow, butkeep going!”Dr. Alleyne explains that ath-letes are vulnerable to joint dam-age when the repetitive motionof a specific sport leaves a joint“loaded” or overstressed. “Crosstraining is needed to unload thejoints with activities like swim-ming that still increase cardiocapacity and utilize full range ofjoint motion.” In layman’s terms,that meansmixing things up.“For everyday Canadians, theCanada Fitness Guide recommen-dation of 150 minutes a week willhelp reduce harm,” she says. “But

for joint health, you need to makethose activities diverse.” Whilemany exercise programs focus oncardio training, the focus for jointhealth is on reducing weight bear-ing and impact, such as by cycling.Movement is broken down intoimproving flexibility and strength.Working adults, says Dr. Alleyne,need to compensate with “dualpostures.” For instance, a seden-tary job can be offset by increasedactivity and strength exercises, buta job involving lifting heavy loadsshould be paired with flexibility-basedmovements.People with arthritis may ben-efit by taking a 30-minute unitof exercise and breaking it downto three 10-minute walks per dayinstead, she adds. The key is not toexceed the individual’s ability orcomfortable range ofmotion.“Individuals with very limitedmobility can also find ways to notmerely move, but to turn theirmovements into art,” says MiriamSchacter. The dance-fitness expertand founder of danceABILITIES™is also a neuro/trauma-orientedpsychotherapist-in-supervision,and choreographer of an arthritis-friendly dance featured on TheArthritisSociety’sYouTubechannel.Schacter has danced with indi-viduals with paralysis in waterand on land. “It’s essential,” shesays, “for people with chronic oracute pain to re-discover that theyare fully capable of communica-tive, fluid movements.” Schacteremphasized the importance of“juicing up the joints” for mobil-ity. She created 10 fresh dancemoves – based on jazz, dancehall,martial arts and ballroom – thatshe could adjust for any level ofmobility. “This is reaching for art,”she says. “This is authentic.”

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAYYou will have some unusual ideas over the coming 12 months, some of which are so far out of the mainstream that certain people won’t like it. But you’re not in the like business, you’re in the amazing business – and that’s just what you’ll be.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20)Better times are just around the corner, but although you may strongly believe that, a friend or colleague does not, and you must make an effort to convince them. Their happiness, it seems, is tied to your happiness.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)Sudden changes will be the norm over the next few days, so be ready. The planets indicate that nothing can harm you so long as

you stay calm and refuse to be rushed. Fortunately, Taurus has a stubborn side.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)Yes, it’s true what others say, you are a law unto yourself – but why should you sit around waiting for people you hardly know to make decisions that affect your life? Your life is what you choose to make of it.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23)Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start looking for ways to improve your circumstances. It may be that you have to work harder for less reward for a while, but think of it as an investment. The tide will turn soon.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23)You may be of the opinion that a

partnership that has been caus-ing you grief is no longer worth the effort, but don’t give up on it. The planets indicate it is about to surprise you in a nice way.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23)You may feel that you are des-tined for bigger and better things, and you may be right, but it won’t happen as if by magic. Determine your number one priority today – then go for it to the exclusion of everything else.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)If you wish for something hard enough today, there is every chance that your wish will come true. That may sound far-fetched, but the planets indicate this is your time of year and extraordi-nary things can happen – so wish away.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)Don’t let what other people are doing distract you from what you should be doing. Yes, it may seem that they are having more fun, but in the long term what’s more important to you, having fun or making money?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21)You may be eager to show what you can do, but try waiting until later in the week before pushing yourself to the front of the stage. Have you prepared as well as you could have? If not, prepare some more today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20)The best way to change the world is to change your own attitude. It’s not really the world “out there” that is the problem, but the world you

create inside your own head. There’s a lot to be said for wishful thinking.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)You may be upset that something did not work out the way you wanted it to, but over the next few days you will realize it was for the best. New opportunities will arise – they always do – so be ready for them.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)In some way or other you are still trying to hold back the tide, even though you know it cannot be done. The time has come to accept that you must move with the times, because the times won’t move with you.

HOROSCOPE BY SALLY BROMPTON

This deal occurred in an

invitational pair tournament in

the Netherlands in 1990.

The winners were Enri Leufkens

and Berry Westra of the Nether-

lands, who outdistanced a strong

multinational fi eld comprising

16 pairs of the world’s best

players.

When Westra-Leufkens held

the North-South cards, the bid-

ding went as shown. A panel of

expert commentators, watching

on Vu-Graph, predicted that

four hearts would go down one

after West led the nine of clubs,

since declarer seemed certain

to lose a club, a spade and two

diamonds.

But Leufkens demonstrated

that they were sorely mistaken.

He took East’s jack of clubs

with the ace and immediately

returned the club ten. East won

with the king and shifted to the

A-J of diamonds, allowing the

defenders to score their two dia-

mond tricks before South could

discard a diamond on the queen

of clubs. In the process, how-

ever, dummy’s 10-9 of diamonds

became established.

After taking the diamond king,

West shifted to a spade, East’s

queen losing to the ace. Leufkens

now avoided the trap of playing

the A-K of trumps and then try-

ing to get rid of his two remain-

ing spades on two of dummy’s

winners.

Instead, he crossed to the

heart ace, cashed the club queen,

pitching a spade, and led the

diamond ten. East was help-

less. If he discarded, Leufkens

would discard his last spade, so

East ruffed and declarer over-

ruffed. Leufkens then returned

to dummy with the heart king

– simultaneously drawing the

last two opposing trumps – and

disposed of his last spade on the

diamond nine.

Thus, the “unmakable”

contract came home, leaving

the red-faced panel to partake

of a generous portion of humble

pie.

Food movements driving market shiftConsumers ask more questions and choose organic

By Matthew HolmesExecutive Director, Canada OrganicTrade Association

here does your food comefrom? It’s a loaded ques-tion. Food has become

intensely social and political: lessabout the egg than the hen thatlaid it and the farmer who raisedthe hen.This shift isn’t just aboutwhere you shop or what youchoose to buy. The business newsfocuses on Canada’s mergingmega-grocers; our smartphonesoffer us countless food-themedapps; reality TV serves up moretypes of cooking shows than everimaginable; books likeWheatBelly and The Omnivore’s Dilemmaare bestsellers. And who isn’ta little tired of seeing tweets ofeveryone’s meals?Food has become a culturaldriver in North America. We’re be-ing asked to think about our fooda lot more, to think before we eat,and that is leading people downtwo very different paths.There’s been a clear movementto create connections and com-munity around food. The UnitedStates Department of Agriculturetracks the number of domestic

farmers’ markets, and countedover 8,100 in 2013. Comparethis to just over 3,000 markets10 years ago, and it is clear thatsomething important is happen-ing. In British Columbia, there’sbeen a 147 per cent growth infarmers’ market sales since 2006,and a five-fold increase in organicsales at those markets.But just as the “foodie”move-ment is on the ascendant, thereseems also to be a counter-move-ment, one long championed byadolescent boys and the corpora-tions that excel at hyping “super-sized” death-defyingmeals.The source of this summer’sunfortunate outbreak of food poi-soning at the CNE in Toronto, theCronut burger, is but one of manyover-the-top, highly processedand fundamentally unhealthyfoods beingmarketed today. Therecipe seems to be equal partsbragging rights, indulgence anda willful ignorance of what we’reactually eating.But organic foodmarkettrends, the continued popularityof the locavoremovement andthe success of themany chefswho embrace local, seasonal andorganic food demonstrate thatmost Canadians are eager to knowmore about their food.It’s an aspiration that can provechallenging.First, think about where yourfood comes from. If somethingis grown “close to home” does itmeanmuch? It might; it might

not. Knowing where somethingwas grown andmade is certainlythe first step to understandingmore about the product and thepractices behind it.But knowing where your food israised doesn’t tell you everythingyou need to know. Do your localfarms use pesticides and herbi-cides on your vegetables that youwouldn’t use on your own frontlawn? Do they raise their animals

in conditions that would be un-conscionable for your family pets?What about packaged foods: dotheir ingredients include canola,soy, corn or sugar? Are they friedin “vegetable” or canola oil? If the

answer is yes, unless the food iscertified organic, you’re almostguaranteed to be eating geneti-cally modified organisms (GMOs).That’s your choice, but chancesare that the information wasn’tdisclosed on the package, andwhat kind of choice is that?How is your food grown andmade? Do the farms use sewagesludge for fertilizer? Do they usepesticides that are known toxins,hormone-disruptors and neuro-development inhibitors? Arethe animals kept in cages awayfrom the sun and fresh air? Areotherwise healthy animals fed an-tibiotics to promote weight gain?Are products made with artificialflavours, preservatives, colours,nitrites, GMOs or other new (andunpronounceable) additives and“ingredients”?It is sometimes very difficult tofind the answers to these ques-tions. But if your food is organic,you can rest assured that Canada’sgovernment-regulated organicstandards and inspections forbidany of these practices on or-ganic farms or additives in organicproducts. And the government’s“Canada Organic” logomakes iteasy to spot them.So when you remind yourselfto think before you eat, as manyof us are doing these days, thinkCanada Organic. Ninety-eight percent of Canadians polled thinkthey will increase ormaintaintheir current purchases of organicthis year. What do you think?

rom expansive organicssections in grocery storesto burgeoning farmers’

markets, Canadians are hun-gry for food produced withoutpesticides or genetically modi-fied organisms (GMOs), and thatcomes from environmentallysustainable agriculture.According to a 2013 report bythe Canada Organic Trade As-sociation (COTA), organics nowrepresent $3.7 billion a year insales in Canada, a number thathas tripled since 2006, mak-ing our market for organics thefourth-largest in the world.Canadians who believe in thevalue of organic food are puttingtheir money where their mouthis: 58 per cent buy organic foods

weekly, with such foods repre-senting 23 per cent of their gro-cery bill, according to the report.Organics are the fastest-growingsector of the food industry andshow no signs of slowing down.Why are Canadians buyingorganic? It all comes down tohealth – our own personalhealth, the health of the com-munities we live in and thehealth of the environment.“We live in an increasinglycomplex world where we don’thave a lot of control over things,but the one thing we do havesome control over is the choiceof food we buy,” says LindaEdwards, a spokesperson for theAmbrosia Organic Growers, anorganization that represents 50

organic ambrosia apple farmersin British Columbia. “We canmake good choices and buy cer-tified organic products, whichgive us the assurance that thisfruit hasn’t been sprayed withsynthetic pesticides, isn’t GMOand is grown in a way that isbeneficial to the environment.”Sales are phenomenal, andevery year farmers work tokeep up with the demand, saysEdwards. “People want theseorganic apples because it’shealthier for the consumer, forthe people who work on thefarms and for the environment.”The COTA report shows that59 per cent of Canadians believeorganic farming is better for ahealthy environment, while 46per cent agree that ecologicalsustainability is an importantconsideration when decidingwhat products to buy.“More and more people arevoting with their dollars andchoosing products that fit withtheir values,” says Julie Poitras-Saulnier, sustainability market-ing specialist with coffee roasterGMCR Canada, which promotesthe Van Houtte fair trade organ-ic collection of six coffee blends,grown by certified fair trade andorganic producers.“We want to provide optionsfor those consumers and en-courage them to use their pur-chasing power to support moresustainable products across theentire beverage industry,” shesays. “Organic blends contributeto a reduction in health risks forcoffee producers and to betterenvironmental practices.”Concern for personal health isalso a key driver for consumers.COTA reports that 41 per cent ofCanadians believe organic foodsoffer better nutrition and arehealthier. Many are also moti-vated to buy organic to protectthe health of their children;COTA reports that householdswith children under two are thehighest buyers of such products.Don Rees, CEO of OrganicMeadow, a co-op of 100 organicfamily farms that produce milk,

eggs, cheese and other dairyproducts, says that “informedand educated consumers” careabout what their families areconsuming, especially thosewith kids.“When it comes to milk,many consumers want toknow that the product comesfrom animals that are treatedhumanely, that have accessto pastures where they areexposed to sunlight and thatthere are no pesticides usedin the soil where they graze,”explains Rees. “Some of ourfarms have as little as 60 cowson 100 acres.... You can see thatthe animals are outside, grazingeverywhere.”While organic milk currentlyhas a 2 per cent share of thedairy market, it’s underdevel-oped relative to the U.S. andEuropean countries, adds Rees.“There’s lots of room for con-tinued growth, as consumersbecome more informed aboutthe benefits of going organic.”

ne of the many factorsdriving the demand fororganic food is concern

about genetically modifiedorganisms (GMOs).Many countries around theworld have banned GMOs, and64 have introduced legislationmaking labelling mandatory.In North America, however,Health Canada and the U.S.Food and Drug Administrationhave accepted the premise thatgenetically modified foods are“substantially equivalent” totheir non-genetically engineeredcounterparts, and that there isscientific consensus that GMOsare safe.But experts on both sides ofthe argument agree that po-liticization of the issues makesit difficult to address growingconsumer concerns: GMO pro-ponents say that anti-corporatefears lend credibility to badlyconducted research; anti-GMOactivists contend that industry-led attacks on critical research-ers have stifled truly indepen-dent research.Arran Stephens, CEO and“chief gardenkeeper” of Nature’sPath, the organic food company,has opposed GMOs for more than18 years. “It’s something we feelvery passionate about,” he says.“Biotech companies are interfer-ing with evolutionary processesthat have taken thousands – evenmillions – of years to perfect. Ge-netic modification is not a con-tinuation of selective breeding,but the alteration of life forms.”He notes that the develop-ment of herbicide-resistant GMcrops has contributed to a 15-fold increase in the use of herbi-cides, a trend that biologists sayis a factor in colony collapse dis-order in bees. And while GMOsare claimed to increase cropyields, a 2011 United Nationsreport found that it’s possibleto achieve similar results with“agroecological” processes, suchas organic agriculture, that aremore sustainable and affordablefor developing nations. Theirstudy found that the agroeco-

logical processes resulted in anaverage increase in crop yield of80 per cent among 57 develop-ing countries, with an averageincrease of 116 per cent for allAfrican projects.While there are many reasonsto be concerned about the envi-ronmental impact of GMO crops,as well as their potential long-term effect on human health,the findings of a study publishedin September 2012 were “suf-ficiently alarming to warrantrevision of how governmentsassess the safety of geneticallyengineered foods,” says MaureenKirkpatrick, standards coordina-tor for The Big Carrot NaturalFood Market in Toronto.In the peer-reviewed U.S.journal Food and Chemical Toxicol-ogy, Professor Gilles-Eric Séralinireported that rats fed a diet ofMonsanto’s Roundup-tolerantGMmaize (corn) NK603 for twoyears developed higher levelsof cancers and died earlier than

control subjects. The study usedprotocols similar to the 90-daystudies biotech companies use

to meet Health Canada and U.S.Food and Drug Administrationsafety-testing requirements, butcontinued for two years, closer tothe full life cycle of the rats.“When people become awarethat the government is not doingsafety testing independently, it isa huge wake-up call, and they’regalvanized to action,” says Kirk-patrick. “We see real momentumbuilding in the opposition toGMOs, and our shoppers tendto be highly informed on theissues.”Certified organic agricultureand the Non-GMO Project appealto shoppers partly because theyprovide information that peopleneed tomake good decisions fortheir families, she says. “It takesthe guesswork out of it. You knowwhat’s in your food, by the desig-nation.”The Non-GMO Project, of whichThe Big Carrot and Nature’s Pathare foundingmembers, is advo-catingmandatory GMO-labellinglegislation in North America.In themeantime, for those whowish to avoid GMOs, “eating fresh,whole foods, buying organic andbuying Non-GMO Project Veri-fied are the threemost powerfultools,” stresses Kirkpatrick.

rganic standards make‘organic’ a trustworthybrand and allow con-

sumers to shop with confidence,”says Helen Sherrard, presidentfor the Canadian Health FoodAssociation (CHFA). The associa-tion’s members include manu-facturers, retailers, wholesalers,distributors and importers of

natural and organic products.“To help support organic stan-dards, CHFA and our membersare proud to partner with theCanadian Organic Trade Associa-tion and the Canadian OrganicGrowers, working collaborativelyto ensure Canadians continue tohave access to properly regulatedorganic foods,” says Sherrard.

ith Canadians spend-ing close to $3 billiona year on organic food,

the need to ensure that they areactually getting what they payfor has become paramount.“Our sector has fought longand hard to achieve the stan-dards that are required forproducts to be labelled organic,”says Rochelle Eisen, president ofthe Canadian Organic Growers(COG) and a chair of Canada’sorganic standards committee.“A rise in consumer demandfor organic food and otherproducts, however, means somemanufacturers are trying tomuscle into the market withlabels that give the impressionthat they are organic when theyare not,” she says. “They’ll use‘natural’ and all kinds of otherempty words.”Eisen points out that foodslabelled with the Canada Or-ganic logo show that theymeetCanada’s stringent nationalorganic requirements, which areoverseen by the Canadian FoodInspection Agency (CFIA). Whatthat means is that on top of allthe other health and safety re-quirements that producers mustadhere to, they also have tomeetorganic standards, making thisthemost regulated and inspectedfood system in Canada.Daniel Miller, executive direc-tor, food labelling and claimsdirectorate at the CFIA, says allfood products must be labelled

and advertised accurately andtruthfully to protect consumersfrom fraud and must comply withthe Food and Drug Regulations.He notes that the Organic Prod-ucts Regulations were createdas a response to requests by theorganic sector and consumers toprotect against misleading or de-ceptive labelling practices; reduceconsumer confusion about the

definition of organic; facilitatethe access of Canadian organicproducts to foreign markets thatrequire regulatory oversight; andsupport further development ofthe domestic market.“Labelling food as certifiedorganic provides Canadians withreliable information on whichto base their food choices,” saysMiller.

Eisen agrees. “Research tells usthat more than half of all Cana-dians are buying organic foodsevery week. As an industry, wehave a duty to those consumers touphold and protect the standardsthey expect from organic produc-ers, and the best way to do that isto make sure the consumers knowwhat those standards are.”No one knows that better thanMike Meeker, Canadian fish farm-ing pioneer and founder of MeekerAquaculture, now a division ofCanadian-based organic and natu-ral food producer Blue Goose.There is a growing demand inCanada for organically farmed fishamong well-informed and savvyconsumers who understand thebenefits and want to know thatwhat they are buyingmeets rigor-ous certification standards, saysMeeker.Organic aquaculture is a rela-tively new field when it comes tothe standards. Although the Cana-dian regulations cover food, drink,livestock and crops, aquaculturewas not covered by the govern-ment’s organic regulations in 2009because the detailed standardsdidn’t exist yet. So Canada’s or-ganic sector began to innovate inorder to give consumers transpar-ency in their entire food system,recently publishing new voluntarynational standards for organicaquaculture. These standards arefounded on the same principlesas Canada’s organic agriculturesystem.“Anyone can go online and readexactly what standards I need tomeet to earn and keepmy certifi-cation, so I’m not making claimsthat I can’t back up. That transpar-ency is critically important tomeand to consumers,” Meeker says.To achieve organic certifica-tion for Blue Goose Aquaculture’srainbow trout, Meeker had tocomply with a lengthy set ofconditions including water quality,environmental standards, qualityof fish feed, fish health and wel-fare, cultivation conditions andreproduction. Meeker’s Aquacul-ture is the first and only certifiedorganic grower of rainbow trout inCanada.

Strict national regulations govern producersOPTIONS

A label consumers trust

Canadian organic standardsensure that foods that crossinterprovincial or internationalborders are regulated underboth the Food and Drug Regula-tions and the Organic ProductRegulations, and are subject toenforcement by the CanadianFood Inspection Agency.Similarly, organic foods that

aremade and sold only withintheir province of origin are sub-ject to federal truthful-labellinglaws andmay be subject toprovincial organic regulations,says Helen Sherrard, presidentfor the Canadian Health FoodAssociation (CHFA), whichrepresents the natural healthindustry. “Having provincial reg-ulations in place that align withfederal regulations gives Cana-dians added confidence that theproducts they are purchasingwithin their province and thosethat have been imported arefollowing the strict standardsestablished for organic.”Organic standards help

Canadiansmake buying deci-sions they can feel good aboutby ensuring the products theyare purchasing havemet thestrict established requirementsfor organic, Sherrard adds. “Thisverified third party credibilitygives consumers peace of mind.When they see the certifiedorganic logo, they can feelconfident that they are not onlyinvesting in their health, butalso supporting sustainable, en-vironmentally friendly practicesand animal welfare.”

T ime and again, people of thecloth love to finger-waggingly

remind us (as though we neededreminding) that we enter thisworld with nothing and wedepart this world with nothing.But what about the time andspace between the two nothings?What are we to do with a life-time of accumulating hard assetsand harder experience?

Lawyers offer us last wills andtestaments; scientists offer theo-ries and statistics; the clergy of-fer prayer. All to little or no avail.Life continues to be a daily crapsgame. Man plans and Godlaughs. Only one thing is certain:Something totally random isbound to occur and, for sure, thedice ain’t gonna come up lucky7.

In my case the craps gamecame to an abrupt halt one Sun-day in August last year. Thecause: a mosquito bite – unseen,unheard, unfelt – that left mewith a life-threatening case ofWest Nile virus.

I survived (no, this piece is notwritten posthumously). Unfortu-nately, however, my ability torender a full account of what fol-lowed that might be of service tomodern medicine is hindered bythe fact I was comatose duringthe crucial first couple of weeksof the three months and twodays I spent in hospitals.

Family and friends, knowingthis, nevertheless have urged meto write of this experience, argu-ing that whatever I recall mightbe instructive because of the rar-ity, while at the same time help-ing me make some sense of it formy own benefit. If nothing more,they insist, it may make clear thereasons for my ongoing recovery.

Take, for example, the matterof genes. “You must have inherit-ed good genes,” people tell me.Good genes? Me? My motherdied at the age of 34 of whatwas, back in the mid-1930s, in-curable kidney failure. My father,who would have captured goldat the Olympics if smoking werea competitive sport, died of lungcancer at 69. True, my maternalgrandfather, a long-time residentof Winnipeg, lived to almost 101,but genes in Manitoba’s capitaltend to stay frozen solid year-round. No way could a singleone of them have come looseand drifted as far as Sault Ste.Marie at the time of my birththere 85 years ago.

So “good genes” is out.

“You must have been a goodfighter,” some people suggest.That’s doubtful. How can a per-son who is unconscious be agood fighter? Besides, good fight-ing requires a history of regularphysical exercise and athletic ac-tivity, all of which I had manag-ed successfully to avoid, as oneavoids syphilis and all 500 con-certos of Antonio Vivaldi,throughout my life. As for theprospect of mortality, it’s a “giv-

en” that I have always faced withunconcealed cowardice. The“courageous battles” newspaperobituaries lie about will never bereported about me.

A good fighter? Not a chance.Some say I was lucky. All right,

let’s consider luck. With apolo-gies to Rick in Casablanca, of allthe bodies in all the world, thismosquito had to land on mine.You call that luck? The insect –not I – is the one that played

craps and won.Finally, people tell me that, in

order to survive, I must have hadfaith, an idea I rejected instantlywith a dismissive “Yeah, right!” –that is, until I thought about it.Then I decided that, yes, I didhave faith after all: faith in a bat-talion of dedicated nurses, doc-tors, occupational therapists,speech and cognitive therapists,physiotherapists, dietitians,orderlies and lab technicians.

These people taught me howfaith works.

Faith is a process of abandon-ing.

First, you abandon Pride. Youquickly accept the idea that yourbody is really just a hunk ofmeat with convenient apertures(some natural, some man-made)through which numerous plastictubes can deliver good stuff orextract bad stuff.

Modesty – or Privacy, if youprefer – is next to go. Thisbecame essential when, onemorning, I was unable to givemyself a shower and was obligedto submit, in a state of completenudity, to being showered by acomely 19-year-old nursing stu-dent. I prayed my body wouldbehave itself. (It did.)

Embarrassment, too, must bestored for the duration. Yourbody refuses to abide by rulesdrummed into you in earlychildhood. Every time you pressthe button by your bed to sum-mon help, you appreciate some-thing that, as a two-year-old, youcouldn’t possibly have under-stood: The role of a caregiver isas close to messianic as a humanbeing can get.

Say farewell also to Tastebuds,which, without your expressconsent, have gone on anextended leave of absence. Afterweeks on a feeding tube, I wasdeemed ready for my first realmeal. This turned out to be spa-ghetti Bolognese with sideorders of squash and mashedbroccoli – a combination which,if served in Rome, would bringdown the government of Italy(yet again!).

So all these things were jetti-soned, thrown overboard tolighten my distress and heightenmy faith. And after 53 days at St.Michael’s Hospital, followed by42 days at Bridgepoint rehabilita-tion hospital, look at me: I canwalk a 40-foot straight line front-wards, sideways and backwards!

I must mention my family andfriends again. They are the oneswho had faith, the kind the peo-ple of the cloth preach about.Thank God!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The overfishing of sharks DownUnder is creating a chain reactionthat could prove the undoing ofcoral reef systems, The Guardianreports. A 10-year Australianstudy found that a decline in the number of sharks from tworemote reef systems is causing a fall in the number of fish thathelp keep coral healthy. Thestudy focused on the Scott Reef

and Rowley Shoals, both popularlocations with Indonesian fisher-men targeting sharks for theirfins, for culinary and medicinaluse. Fewer sharks means moremid-level predators such as snap-per, which feed off the small her-bivorous fish that are vital to thehealth of the reefs. And the sharkpopulation gets smaller everyday. “Going by our surveys,around four sharks a day werebeing taken from these reefs,”said research scientist Mark Mee-kan. “This doesn’t sound like alot, but it has been going on for along time.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Riverasays goodbye

I f there is anyone thrust intothe spotlight by the Cody

Franson contract hoo-hah, it isJake Gardiner not Morgan Rielly.

Assuming Franson and theToronto Maple Leafs are notable to agree on a new contractby the time the NHL seasonstarts Oct. 1, and right nowthere is no reason to assumethey will, then it will be Gardin-er, 23, who has to step up to bethe No. 2, or even No. 1 offensivedefenceman.

Oh, it’s nice to use the Fran-son dispute to theorize aboutwhether Rielly will make theteam or be sent back to his jun-ior team but even if he stays,the teenager is not about to fill

any vacancy left by Franson, theLeafs’ best points-producing de-fenceman last season.

That job will go to Gardiner,who took a while to round outhis game to the satisfaction ofhead coach Randy Carlyle. Thisrequired a detour with theLeafs’ Toronto Marlies farmteam last winter after Gardinerhad seemingly cemented hisplace with the Leafs by playingin 75 games in 2011-12.

But once he recovered from aconcussion suffered last Decem-ber while playing for the Marliesduring the NHL lockout, Carlyledeemed his defensive gamewanting and sent him back tothe AHL after the Leafs finishedtheir abbreviated training camp.

Gardiner remained banished

until there were just 12 gamesleft in the Leafs’ season but, justas Franson did, he managed toplay his way back into Carlyle’sgood graces. Gardiner’s coming-out was in the last few games ofthe Leafs-Boston Bruins playoffseries when Carlyle put him inthe lineup after sitting him forthe first game.

The youngster’s confidencegrew as the series went on andhe finished with five points insix games. But that does notmean the transition to one ofthe Leafs’ top two or three de-fencemen is going smoothly.

Rielly, in fact, has been a bet-ter player overall than Gardiner,hence all the stories about himstaying with the big club.Shoalts, Page 6

Thomas DeMarco’s encore per-formance Sunday went consider-ably better than his first.

Making his first CFL start, theB.C. Lions quarterback threw twosecond-half touchdowns andhelped set up Paul McCallum’sgame-winning field goal with notime on the clock as the Lionstook over second place in theWest Division with a 24-22 winover the Saskatchewan Roughrid-ers.

DeMarco was pulled from thegame midway through the sec-ond quarter in favour of BuckPierce but returned to start thesecond half.

The win was the second in arow for B.C. (8-4) while Saskatch-ewan (8-4) lost its third in a row.

“I have a lot of great people onthe sidelines right now,” saidDeMarco, who started in place ofthe injured Travis Lulay. “Traviswas very calm. Buck was verycalm. Joey [Elliott] helped meout as well.

“The biggest thing is just tokeep you calm and help you withseeing the field. They reallyhelped me out today and allowedme to talk through things and wegot the victory at the end.”

Pierce replaced DeMarco brieflyafter DeMarco’s first 13 passattempts yielded just 52 yardsand five straight two-and-outs.

DeMarco had started the gamewith five consecutive comple-tions.

But he made up for a shakyfirst half with the Lions trailing12-6 early in the third quarterwhen he hit Nick Moore with a43-yard touchdown strike.

The Lions got the ball rightback when Saskatchewan quar-terback Darian Durant fumbledfor a second time.

DeMarco threw a 20-yard TD toShawn Gore to make it 20-12 andMcCallum then kicked an 84-yardkickoff single to extend the leadto nine.

“He’s just a very well-composedindividual,” McCallum said.Football, Page 6

Jim Harbaugh’s former quarter-back outplayed his current one,hands down.

Andrew Luck threw for 164yards and ran for a six-yardtouchdown while facing collegecoach Jim Harbaugh for the firsttime, and the Indianapolis Coltsdefeated the San Francisco 49ers27-7 on Sunday.

Trent Richardson scored a one-yard touchdown on his first car-ry in his Colts debut after beingacquired on Wednesday fromthe Browns. He was drafted twospots behind top pick Luck atNo. 3 last year.

Ahmad Bradshaw added aone-yard TD run in the finalminutes, and Adam Vinatierikicked a pair of field goalsbefore missing a 51-yarder earlyin the fourth.

But Luck came through againto give Indianapolis (2-1) moreopportunities.

It was Colin Kaepernick’s hisfirst home loss at CandlestickPark as a starter.

Frank Gore ran for 82 yardsafter going for 60 total in hisfirst two games, but there werefew bright spots for Kaepernickas San Francisco (1-2) struggledto establish a passing game withtight end Vernon Davis sidelined

by a hamstring injury. Thedefence committed numerouscostly penalties for the thirdsuccessive week.

Luck completed his initial sixpasses and spoiled the hometeam’s reunion day betweencoaches on both sides whoknow each other’s tendenciesdating to their days at Stanford.

The Colts sure appeared to bebetter prepared.

Luck sent third-year coachHarbaugh to consecutive lossesfor the first time.

Before Sunday, he was 7-0 fol-lowing a defeat – and Harbaughfaced criticism for playing andstarting Aldon Smith two days

after the linebacker was arrestedand jailed on suspicion of driv-ing under the influence andmarijuana possession.

Kaepernick had been 4-0 onhis home field since becoming astarter last November. This time,his 49ers were 101⁄2-point favour-ites, but looked nothing like thebetter team in getting thorough-ly outplayed.

He completed 2 of his 8 first-half passes and wound up just13 for 27 for 150 yards with aninterception and three sacks.

The 49ers had six penalties for48 yards and didn’t look muchbetter than they did in theirfive-turnover, 29-3 loss at divi-

sion rival Seattle last week.Richardson carried 13 times for

35 yards, giving the Colts quitethe 1-2 punch with Bradshaw’s19 rushes for 95 yards.

Luck took advantage of a pairof penalties by San Francisco toopen Indianapolis’ seven-play,80-yard scoring drive over theopening 3:40 for a 7-0 lead.

The Colts busted through SanFrancisco’s defensive line, whichlost nose tackle Ian Williams toa season-ending ankle injury lastweek.

NFL SUNDAY WEEK 3

Boy, that was ugly. And still,somehow, a win for the NewYork Jets.

Geno Smith threw two touch-down passes, including a go-ahead 69-yarder to SantonioHolmes in the fourth quarter,and the Jets overcame a team-record 20 penalties to hang onand beat the Buffalo Bills 27-20Sunday.

Smith, who also ran for ascore, slightly outplayed E.J.Manuel in a matchup of the firsttwo quarterbacks selected in theNFL draft. But this one wastough to watch with the barrageof penalties. The Jets (2-1) rolledup 158 yards in penalty yardage,and nearly gave it away againstthe Bills (1-2).

Capping a drive kept alive byfour successive penalties on theJets, Manuel connected withScott Chandler for a 33-yardtouchdown, then hit Stevie John-son with a pass for two-pointconversion that tied it at 20 with10:39 left in the game.

But Smith got the Jets rightback onto the scoreboard withhis big heave to Holmes, whobroke away from Justin Rogersas he caught the ball and zippedinto the end zone. Holmes had acareer-high 154 yards receiving.

Rex Ryan lost two challengesin a span of three plays in thethird quarter and it ended uphurting the Jets. Manuel scram-bled for 21 yards but lost the ball

when he was hit by Dawan Lan-dry and Jaiquawn Jarrett recov-ered. But officials ruled Manuelwas down – and Ryan had nomore challenges, with replaysshowing Manuel appeared tofumble.

New York then had a horren-dous sequence of four consecu-tive penalties, three on Kyle

Wilson, who was benched brieflyafter the last of the calls. Thatkept Buffalo’s offence on thefield. It appeared Fred Jacksonalso had a fumble during thedrive that the Jets recovered, butpenalties also negated that andput the Bills in position to tie.

Smith, the second quarterbackdrafted at No. 39, finished 16 of

29 for 331 yards and also had twointerceptions. Bilal Powell ran fora career-high 149 yards on 27carries. Stephen Hill also caughta touchdown pass from Smith.

Manuel, who went No. 16 over-all as the first quarterback draft-ed, was 19 of 42 for 243 yards andthe score.

It was a costly defeat for Buffa-

lo, which lost cornerback LeodisMcKelvin to a hamstring injury,defensive tackle Marcell Dareusto an ankle injury and defensiveend Alex Carrington was cartedoff late in the game with an ap-parent left knee injury.

Running back C.J. Spiller alsoleft with a knee injury and fin-ished with just nine yards rush-ing.

Smith was sharp on the Jets’first possession, marching NewYork 80 yards and convertingthree third downs before punch-ing it in himself from eight yardson a quarterback draw to makeit 7-0. Dan Carpenter’s 37-yardfield goal made it 7-3 in the sec-ond quarter.

Buffalo got the ball right backwhen Smith lofted a pass forHolmes into double coverageand was picked off by formerJets safety Jim Leonhard. A face-mask penalty on Jets guard Vla-dimir Ducasse put Buffalo atNew York’s 21. Carpenter made a23-yarder to cut it to 7-6.

The Jets took a 14-6 lead on apretty pass from Smith, who hitHill in stride for a 51-yard touch-down. Nick Folk kicked a 47-yardfield goal into the wind to makeit 17-6 as time expired in theopening half.

Folk’s 34-yarder gave the Jets atwo-touchdown lead. Carpenterkicked a 43-yarder and added a26-yarder a few plays after KikoAlonso intercepted Smith on apoorly thrown ball.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Teams hoping to bolster theirpitching rotation this winter

will have a final look at most oftheir free-agent options thisweek, and all are hoping for thekind of success the Los AngelesDodgers and the PittsburghPirates had last off-season.

Ervin Santana, Matt Garza, TimLincecum and Ricky Nolasco areamong the players available, butbased on last winter’s signings,there are really only two choicesfor luring a productive free-agentstarter from another team: payexorbitant prices for a premiumtalent or pay almost nothing andhope for a turnaround. Most oth-er deals, at least last off-season,disappointed: Edwin Jackson andJoe Blanton, Dan Haren and Bran-don McCarthy, Joe Saunders andShaun Marcum, to name a few.

At the top of the salary scale,the Dodgers lavished six yearsand $147-million on ZackGreinke, who is 15-3 with a 2.75earned-run average for theNational League West champions.At the bottom, the Pirates pulledoff the steal of the off-season,snagging Francisco Liriano for aguarantee of just $1-million.

Liriano leads the Pirates in wins,going 16-7 with an ERA of 2.88,and the team is poised for its firstwinning season since 1992 and,almost certainly, a berth in theplayoffs. Even after being chosenfor the all-star team in July, JeffLocke, a fellow Pirates left-han-der, called Liriano the mostimportant part of the team’s ren-aissance.

“Liriano was that missing piecethat kind of put everythingtogether,” Locke said. “Frankie’sfun to watch.”

Liriano, 29, has been fun towatch before. He won 12 of 15 deci-sions as a rookie for Minnesota in2006, and threw a no-hitter forthe Twins in 2011. But he slippedin 2012, going 6-12 with a 5.34 ERAfor the Twins and the ChicagoWhite Sox. The Pirates, whoraised their payroll this seasonbut still hunt for bargains, took aninterest.

“I don’t know that we sawsomething that everybody elsemissed,” general manager NealHuntington said. “We were willingto take a chance. We saw a guy

that, if everything clicked, hadthree above-average major-league pitches: the slider and thechangeup for sure, and the fast-ball if we could get him to com-mand it a little bit better. With thechange in leagues, with thechange in ballparks, with thechange in team, we thought hecould come over here and do avery nice job for us.”

The previous off-season, thePirates had taken a similar chanceon A.J. Burnett, acquiring him in atrade with the Yankees. Like Lir-iano, Burnett had exceptionalstuff but often struggled to har-ness it. In a new environment,Burnett flourished, going 16-10 in2012. He has tailed off to 8-11 in2013.

The Pirates and Liriano origina-lly agreed to a two-year, $12.75-million contract last off-season.But before he signed the deal, Lir-iano broke his right (nonthrow-

ing) arm in an accident at home.That slashed the guarantee to$1-million.

“It essentially made it a make-good deal,” Huntington said,“that if he got healthy and stayedhealthy, he had a chance to earnthe money that he would havemade. And he’s gone out and he’searned it. I can’t say enough goodthings about the man.”

Despite missing the first monthof the season, Liriano reached acareer high in victories, with 15,on Aug. 30. After that game, hesaid he had changed his approachsince his younger days.

“I’m not trying to be a strikeoutguy,” said Liriano, who still aver-ages roughly a strikeout aninning. “Early in my career, I wasgoing to try harder and blow peo-ple out. Now I just try to go deepin games.”

Reducing his walks has proba-bly helped the most. In each of

the last two seasons, Liriano aver-aged at least five walks per nineinnings. This season, helped by adelivery in which he gets hishands higher over his head, Lir-iano has averaged about 31⁄2 walksper nine.

“It was a choice of risk-rewardfor us, and we decided to go withthe higher-risk/higher-rewardguy,” Huntington said, “becausewe felt like if we hit, we had achance to really grab a very goodmajor league pitcher, and he de-serves the credit.”

While the injury reduced therisk for the Pirates, they had t hewisdom not to abandon Liriano.Because of his success, the Pirateswill not have to dive back intofree agency to replace him thisoff-season. By staying healthy, Lir-iano has already guaranteed an$8-million salary for 2014.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sunday afternoon at Yankee Sta-dium was undoubtedly MarianoRivera’s moment – the gifts, therecorded tributes, the standingovations – although it might havealso been a day to remember andto wistfully say goodbye to a greatNew York Yankees era that slow-ly, and inevitably, is coming to anend.

Rivera was honoured by theYankees for his 19 remarkableseasons with a 50-minute retire-ment ceremony that delayed thestart of Sunday’s game againstthe San Francisco Giants by near-ly an hour. Hardly anyoneseemed to care. Yankee Stadium,which for most of the season hasfailed to sell out consistently, waspacked nearly 30 minutes beforethe 1:05 p.m. scheduled starttime.

The ceremony began with Riv-era in Monument Park as hisplaque and number were addedto the other 16 players and man-agers honoured with such a dis-tinction. Since the No. 42 uniformhas already been retired by base-ball in remembrance of JackieRobinson, the Yankees switchedthe number from Dodger blue toYankee navy. Rivera is the firstactive player to be honoured inMonument Park.

Rivera remained in the bullpenas the masters of ceremony, JohnSterling and Michael Kay, intro-duced guests, who included sev-eral former teammates; theformer manager Joe Torre; Rive-ra’s wife and children; and JackieRobinson’s widow, Rachel.

Mayor Michael R. Bloombergdeclared Sept. 22 as “Mariano Riv-era Day.”

After a tribute video, a record-ing of the longtime Yankees pub-lic address announcer BobSheppard introduced Rivera.

The most peculiar part of theceremony was during the firstchords of his entrance song, EnterSandman, which the rock bandMetallica performed live in centrefield. The music played before thestart of the game, when there wasno lead to protect.

When the song began, Riverawalked toward the mound to aloud ovation.

Rivera stood on the mound forseveral moments as fans contin-ued to cheer. After being present-ed with several gifts – apersonalized guitar, a rockingchair, a crystal replica of his gameglove, and a framed copy of hisnumber in Monument Park – andafter his current Yankee team-mates came out from the dugoutand stood in the infield, Riverawas given the microphone.

“The Lord has blessed me witha great family,” Rivera said as helooked toward his teammates.“All these men have been part ofmy family. I love you guys, andyou are all special to me and myfamily.”

He then looked to the fans.“It’s been a great run, guys,”

Rivera said. “You guys have beenamazing. You will always be part

of my heart. You have taken mein like one of you guys, and I doappreciate that.”

Rivera also spoke directly toRachel Robinson.

“I would’ve loved to have metMr. Jackie Robinson,” Rivera said.“But it’s a great pleasure and anhonor to be the last MLB playerto ever wear No. 42. Even though Inever met him, he has been ahero and inspiration for me. AndI thank Mr. Jackie Robinson forthat.”

Hours later, Rivera got to onceagain close out the game – AndyPettitte, who is also retiring at theend of this season, took a no-hit-ter into the sixth inning of hisfinal regular-season start at Yan-kee Stadium, before the wheelsfell off in the eighth – but thistime there was no save. Just aYankees’ 2-1 loss.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Two years after leaving in themiddle of an unprecedented Sep-tember collapse and one yearafter slinking away to finish thefranchise’s worst season in half acentury, the Boston Red Soxwrapped things up at FenwayPark with the knowledge thatthey will be back.

David Ortiz and Jackie BradleyJr. homered to lead the Red Soxto a 5-2 victory over the last-placeToronto Blue Jays in Boston’s reg-ular-season home finale Sunday.After a five-game road trip to Col-orado and Baltimore, the RedSox will return for the AL divi-sion series in October.

“The energy that’s created hereand the way the guys embrace it,it has been our advantage onceagain,” manager John Farrell said.“We have heard a lot lately aboutthe last couple of Septembers,but that has not penetrated theminds of anyone in this club-house.”

Three days after clinching aplayoff berth, two days aftersecuring the AL East title and oneday after giving many starters theday off to sleep off the celebra-tion, the Red Sox returned towinning. Boston took the three-game series – its 33rd series victo-ry of the season – and finished53-28 at home. With 95 wins, theRed Sox have the best record inbaseball and a lead in the race forhome-field advantage throughthe World Series.

Felix Doubront (11-6), whomade his first start since Sept. 6and his last before moving to thebullpen to be ready for the play-offs, gave up two runs on fourhits and two walks, striking outtwo. Koji Uehara pitched a per-fect ninth for his 21st save.

Kevin Pillar homered andadded a run-scoring single forToronto. Reigning NL Cy Young-winner R.A. Dickey (13-13)allowed five runs on six hits anda walk, with a season-high 11strikeouts in his third completegame of the season.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The reality of life after Alex Fer-guson is really kicking in at Man-chester United, which islanguishing in mid-table after apainful 4-1 loss to its local rival.

To chants of “Easy! Easy!” Man-chester City ripped United apartat City of Manchester Stadium toleave the champions staring at afive-point gap to early pace-set-ters Arsenal and Tottenham inthe Premier League on Sunday.

“It’s horrible to lose the derby –it’s always horrible. It’s worsewhen you lose in this way,” saidUnited captain Nemanja Vidic,whose team was four goals downafter 50 minutes.

Arsenal leads on goal differenceover Spurs after Germany play-maker Mesut Ozil, making hishome debut, set up all his team’s

goals in a 3-1 win over Stoke,while Tottenham needed a strikein the third minute of stoppagetime by Brazil midfielder Paulin-ho to snatch a 1-0 win at Cardiff.

Both north London clubs havewon four of their opening fivematches and have overhauledLiverpool, which lost 1-0 toSouthampton on Saturday.

“The only thing of our positionat the moment is that we are in aposition where we can focus onimprovement in a stable environ-ment, so that’s a good basis,” Ar-senal manager Arsène Wengersaid.

Swansea beat Crystal Palace 2-0in the other match, with Spanishforward Michu scoring for thethird straight match this week.

It is United’s worst start to aPremier League campaign sincethe 2004-05 season. And after a

testing first five league matcheswhere the team has picked upjust one point from matchesagainst Liverpool, Chelsea andCity, it doesn’t get any easier forMoyes.

On Wednesday, Liverpool willvisit Old Trafford for a LeagueCup third-round match with LuisSuarez back from a 10-match banand likely to play a full-strengthteam with no European soccer toworry about this season.

“I’ve made them aware of whatI think,” Moyes said, when askedif he had given the team the“hair-dryer treatment” Fergusonwas famous for at halftime inter-vals.

United was all over the placeagainst City, its defence over-powered by the strength of Alva-ro Negredo and the darting runsof Sergio Aguero, who opened

the scoring in the 16th minutewith an acrobatic volley andscored two minutes after thebreak to make it 3-0.

Yaya Toure had doubled City’slead in first-half injury time andSamir Nasri lifted an already-euphoric atmosphere inside theEtihad up a notch by volleyinghome in the 50th minute.

Wayne Rooney’s superb, curlingfree kick in the 87th minute wasa consolation for United, whichhasn’t scored in open play in theleague since the opening-day 4-1victory at Swansea.

Robin van Persie was missingfor United because of a groin in-jury, a telling blow with theDutchman having linked up sowell with Rooney in recentmatches.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettelrecorded yet another start-to-fin-ish win at the Singapore GrandPrix on Sunday to further extendhis lead in the Formula Onechampionship.

The German was in a class ofhis own under the Marina Baylights, winning by a massive 32.6seconds over Fernando Alonsoand boosting his championshiplead on the Ferrari driver from 53points to 60 with six races re-maining.

“We are in a very good position.To be honest I am not looking atthe championship too much,”Vettel said. “I am just enjoying itat the moment. Days like todayand yesterday are what it is allabout.”

Lotus’s Kimi Raikkonen wasthird, ahead of the Mercedes pairNico Rosberg and Lewis Hamil-ton in fourth and fifth respective-ly.

Starting in pole, Vettel lost the

lead at the first corner to Rosb-erg, but took it back as the Mer-cedes driver ran wide at turn two.Even a safety car period justbefore half distance, which erod-ed his 12-second lead, could notprevent another Vettel victory.

“The start was quite hairy, Nicohad a good start, but fortunatelyhe went a little too deep and Iwas able to get him back,” Vettelsaid. “With the safety car, it wasdifficult, but we came back … wehad very, very good pace.”

Red Bull teammate Mark Web-ber had sharply different fortunesin the race. As the Australian wasthreatening Raikkonen in theclosing stages, he experienced anengine failure that saw him pulloff the track with his car inflames on the closing lap.

Webber hitched a ride back tothe pits on the sideboard of Alon-so’s Ferrari, and that was enoughfor both drivers to receive a repri-mand from stewards as three carshad to take evasive action as theFerrari stopped and the Red Bull

man clambered on board.For Webber, the reprimand has

serious consequences because itis his third of the season, mean-ing he will receive a 10-place pen-alty on the grid at the next racein South Korea.

Alonso was in a generous moodafter an impressive showing.

The Spaniard got a superb start,going around the outside of sev-eral drivers to vault from seventhto third after two corners, andcapitalized on the emergence ofthe safety car by pitting for hisfinal stop, taking on a set of theharder tires which he drove forthe last 36 of 61 laps.

“We knew we didn’t have thepace today, we had to inventsomething,” Alonso said. “I had agood start and a different strate-gy … it tastes like a victory to us.”

Raikkonen’s participation inthe race had been in doubt dueto a back injury that affected himbadly in Saturday’s qualifying,but the Finn sliced his waythrough the field in the latter half

of the race to move up from 10thto a podium finish.

“Luckily not too much [painduring the race], but now, after-wards, it’s not 100 per cent, but Ihave time to rest and get it right,”Raikkonen said. “Third place – wecould not have expected anymore today.”

Ferrari’s Felipe Massa was sixth,ahead of the McLaren pair JensonButton and Sergio Perez in sev-enth and eighth respectively,with Sauber’s Nico Hulkenbergand Force India’s Adrian Sutilcompleting the top ten.

Vettel’s victory was his third ina row in Singapore, his seventh ofthe season, and 33rd of his career,moving him out of a tie withAlonso and into outright fourthplace on the all-time list behindMichael Schumacher, Alain Prostand Ayrton Senna.

Vettel also won from pole in theprevious F1 race in Italy and tookthe lead on the opening lap ofthe Belgian GP, meaning he hasnow led effectively from start to

finish in three successive races.With such dominance over his

dispirited rivals, only an extraor-dinary turnaround can preventVettel winning a fourth-straightchampionship, joining Schu-macher and Juan Manuel Fangioas the only men to achieve thatfeat.

Ferrari had said prior to therace that the result in Singaporewould determine whether to con-tinue development of the car orto turn all resources to the radi-cally redesigned 2014 vehicle.Alonso’s second placing will like-ly be enough to keep Ferrari’smind on this year, but the Spa-niard was realistic about his fad-ing title hopes.

“The gap is still increasingevery weekend and now it’s 60points,” Alonso said. “We need tobe honest with ourselves. Weneed a lot of luck every weekendif we are one second [per lap] offtheir pace.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Henrik Stenson capped off thebest stretch of his career Sundaywith the biggest payoff in golf.

Stenson held off a brief chal-lenge by 20-year-old JordanSpieth and closed with a two-un-der 68 to win the Tour Champion-ship by three shots over Spiethand Steve Stricker. The 37-year-old Swede also captured the Fed-Ex Cup and its $10-million (U.S.)bonus. Stenson earned $1.44-mil-lion for winning the tournament.

Stenson, who two years ago wasoutside the top 200, moved to No.4 in the world.

Spieth left one lasting impres-sion on his remarkable rookieseason. The youngest player inTour Championship history ranoff four straight birdies on theback nine at East Lake and pulledwithin one shot of Stenson withhis 10-footer on the 16th.

Spieth caught a buried lie in thebunker short of the 17th greenand made bogey, while Stensonsteadied himself with an eight-foot birdie on the par-five 15th toreturn his lead to three shots.Stenson only made it easy at theend with three pars – nearly hol-ing out from the bunker right ofthe 16th green, hitting a scaryshot from the right fairway bunk-er on the 17th to the middle of thegreen, and saving par from anoth-er bunker on the 18th.

Spieth closed with a 64, whileStricker had a 65.

Graham DeLaet of Weyburn,Sask., finished the tournament in28th place.

Stenson, who finished at 13-un-der 267, became the first Euro-pean to win the TourChampionship and the FedExCup.

His amazing summer beganwith a tie for third in the ScottishOpen. Stenson followed with arunner-up at the British Openand the World Golf Champion-ship at Firestone, third place atthe PGA Championship and a winat the Deutsche Bank Champion-ship.

The Tour Championship was hissecond win in three tournaments

of the FedEx Cup playoffs.“Since the Scottish Open, it’s

been just an incredible run,” hesaid. “I’m speechless. It was atough day out there. To hang inthere the way I did, I’m really sat-isfied. … It hasn’t quite sunk inyet. I had to fight hard mentallyto keep all this aside, and I man-aged to do that. It’s going to feelbetter as the week goes on. I’mpretty sure about that.”

Tiger Woods, the No. 1 seedgoing into the Tour Champion-ship, never recovered from his 73-71 start. He closed with a 67 to tiefor 22nd, his worst finish ever atEast Lake, and wound up secondin the FedEx Cup. That still wasworth a $3-million bonus.

Woods wrapped up the PGA ofAmerica’s points-based award forplayer of the year, and he cap-tured the PGA Tour money titleand the Vardon Trophy for the

lowest adjusted scoring title. Nextup is a vote of the players for PGATour player of the year. He is theheavy favourite with five winsthis year.

The award is to be announcedon Friday.

Stricker had birdie chances onthe last two holes, unaware thatmaking one of them would havebeen worth an extra $1-million.He only cared about winning thetournament, knowing he neededbirdies and for Stenson to make amistake.

“I knew the putt meant a lot. Ididn’t know it meant that much,”he said with a smile.

Instead of finishing second inthe FedEx Cup, Stricker had tosettle for third and the $2-millionbonus.

Spieth had a 55-foot birdie puttacross the 18th green thatstopped inches away. His season

was simply remarkable. Theyoung Texan started the year withno status on any tour, and woundup with a win, more than $3.8-million in earnings and a trip tothe Presidents Cup in two weeks.

“Henrik obviously was playingphenomenal golf,” Spieth said. “Ifelt like once a few putts startedfalling, we have a shot at it.”

Stenson became the fifth playerto win his debut at the TourChampionship, a list that startswith Tom Watson when the elite30-man field began in 1987. Healso became the first player to gowire-to-wire without ties sinceWatson.

For much of the day, no one gotcloser to Stenson than threeshots, and he answered that earlychallenge with an 8-iron to an ele-vated green at No. 7 to 2 feet forbirdie. The Tour Championshipcame to life in the final hour,

though, thanks to the youngestplayer in the field.

Fearless as ever, Spieth began arun of birdies starting on the 13thhole that not only moved himinto second place, it put pressureon Stenson not to drop any shots.Stenson’s only bogey came on the14th, when he caught a flyer overthe green and missed a 20-footputt.

Spieth was between clubs onthe 17th, however, tried to ham-mer a 9-iron and caught justenough heavy that it plugged inthe bunker.

The next challenge came fromStricker, who rolled in an eagleputt on the 15th to get within twoshots. He never got any closer.

Webb Simpson had the lowround of the tournament with a63 to finish fourth.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

JAW SIDELINES GAGNER

Edmonton – Edmonton Oilersforward Sam Gagner will missthe start of the regular seasonwith a broken jaw.

Gagner suffered the injury inEdmonton’s 5-2 exhibition winover Vanco uver on Saturday.

Gagner collided on the sideboards with Vancouver’s ZackKassian, and Kassian’s stickknocked out some of Gagner’steeth.

Kassian received a four-min-ute penalty on the play.

The team said Gagner is outindefinitely.

The 24-year-old Gagner had14 goals and 38 points in 48games with the Oilers last sea-son. He has 91 goals and 167assists in 414 games over sixseasons with Edmonton.– The Canadian Press

When the New Jersey Devilsacquired forward Ilya

Kovalchuk in 2010 and latersigned him to a 15-year contract,he was expected to one day ownthe team’s offensive records.

The Devils, and the owner JeffVanderbeek, so wanted to buildtheir franchise around Kovalchukthat they accepted severe penal-ties for initially offering him a 17-year, $102-million deal.

But just two years into his con-tract, Kovalchuk exited, retiringfrom the NHL to play with SKASt. Petersburg in the KontinentalHockey League and leaving theDevils’ forward lines in a state offlux.

Weeks later, Vanderbeek soldthe club to Josh Harris, the ownerof the Philadelphia 76ers. Insome ways, it is fitting that Koval-chuk and Vanderbeek departedmere weeks apart. Vanderbeek, aNew Jersey native, was the showyowner who got Newark’s shinyPrudential Center built but nearlysank the Devils into bankruptcyin the process.

Kovalchuk was the limitlessoffensive threat who helped theDevils reach the 2012 Stanley CupFinals, then returned to hishomeland 13 months later.

Kovalchuk’s departure alonewould leave a huge hole. Hescored 89 goals after arriving inFebruary 2010, and he was secondon the team in points last season(31) despite missing 11 gameswith a shoulder injury. He had

significant ice time, including onspecial teams, and his mere pres-ence created offensive openingsfor teammates.

“You’re not going to go out inUFA and fill an Ilya Kovalchuk,”said Devils forward Ryane Clowe,referring to unrestricted freeagency. “There are only so manyof those in the world.”

But couple Kovalchuk’s depart-ure with that of David Clarkson,and his 45 goals over the past twoseasons, and the Devils are miss-ing two of their top three scorersfrom a team that only scored 112goals and missed the playoffs lastyear. Clarkson, a Toronto native,bolted for a seven-year, $36.75-million deal with the Maple Leafs.

Still, the Devils feel poised tosurprise critics who say they willnot be able to score enough goalsthis year.

“We have a good mix of veter-ans, energy guys and skill guys,”said Patrik Elias, the Devils’ scor-ing leader from a year ago with 36points at age 37. “There are a lotof talented guys on this team.”

Harris brings financial stability,and general manager Lou Lamo-riello went back to basics, aimingto replace Clarkson and Koval-chuk with tough, physical for-wards. He re-signed centre AdamHenrique to a 6-year, $24-milliondeal. Henrique and the top-linecentre Travis Zajac are signedthrough 2018-19.

Lamoriello also added JaromirJagr, the NHL’s active leader ingoals, and Clowe and MichaelRyder, free agents from New-

foundland.Ryder and Clowe made their

Devils preseason debuts in a 5-3loss to the New York Islanders onThursday and have shared timein practice on the same line. Dev-ils coach Pete DeBoer acknowl-edged it was too early to setlineups, but the notion of themplaying on the same line wouldexcite some fans in eastern Cana-da.

“That hasn’t really happenedbefore, two guys from Newfound-land playing on the same teamand the same line,” said Clowe,who played for the Rangers afterthe trade deadline last season.“I’m sure everyone back homewould love to see it.”

The Devils also signed 27-year-old forward Damien Brunner to aprofessional tryout Monday.Brunner was on the ice for threeIslanders goals Thursday, but heshared time with the top for-wards Zajac, Dainius Zubrus andRostislav Olesz. He played withElias in power-play drills Tuesday,his first full day as a Devil.

“It’s always nice to be part of anew group and bring some ener-gy,” said Brunner, who had 26points for the Detroit Red Wingslast season, his first in the NHLafter starring in his native Swit-zerland. “The Devils are a first-class organization, you can telljust being here. I hope it all turnsout well.”

The Devils’ power play ranked21st last season, scoring on 15.9per cent of its chances. The teamexpects Brunner to help amend

that. He is also talented in shoot-outs, another area the Devilshope to fix. They were 2-7 inshootouts last season.

“He can make some plays whenhe has the puck on his stick,”DeBoer said. “There’s a goodchance something good is goingto happen offensively. We coulduse a little bit of that.”

The Devils may have new faces,but they are not young faces.Ryder and Clowe are in their 30s,and Jagr will be 42 in February.Injuries have already bitten theDevils’ forwards. On the first dayof training camp last week, Jagrleft the ice after 10 minutes withwhat the team has called lower-body soreness. He has not prac-tised since, though DeBoer saidFriday that Jagr was skating andwould return soon.

Clowe sustained a lower-bodyinjury against the Islanders anddid not practice Friday. ForwardMattias Tedenby, 23, left practiceFriday with a lower-body injuryand did not return. The Devilsplay the Islanders again Saturdaynight at Barclays Center in Brook-lyn for the first NHL game at thearena, which the Islanders willcall home starting in 2015.

Still, for someone like Tedenby,a former first-round pick who hasplayed just 105 NHL games overthree seasons, teaming with aslew of veteran forwards is enor-mously productive. That in turnmight be productive for the Dev-ils’ offence down the line.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Damien BrunnerThe 27-year-old forward had 26points for the Detroit Red Wingslast season

“Playing his first start, goingin there, getting pulled, going

back in and making things hap-pen, that shows a lot about hischaracter,” McCallum said.Durantthrew an eight-yard touchdownto Weston Dressler with 38 sec-onds left to make it 22-21 as theRoughriders appeared poised toovercome two costly fumbles andsnap their losing streak.

But Marco Iannuzzi returnedthe kickoff 28 yards and DeMarcopassed for a pair of key firstdowns to set up McCallum’s win-ning kick from 42 yards out.

“Paul’s amazing,” DeMarco said.“You don’t even have to say any-thing to him. He gets in, he lookslike he’s bored out there, he turnshis chinstrap, kicks the ballthrough, doesn’t even celebratewith me and I’m jumping on hishead.

“He’s done this for a long timeand there’s no doubt in our mindhe is our guy.”

DeMarco finished 18-of-33 pass-es for 208 yards while Pierce went2-for-3 for 16 yards.

Durant replied with 35-for-52passing for 326 yards.

The Roughriders appeared tohave the game won after Dress-ler’s touchdown but, for the thirdstraight game, ultimately paid theprice for their turnovers andundisciplined ways.

Durant – who battled a bruised

finger on his throwing hand –also fumbled on the game’s sec-ond play from scrimmage, givingB.C. the ball at the Riders’ 46-yardline.

That set up a 12-yard field goalfrom McCallum.

In the second quarter, withDeMarco on the sidelines, the oft-injured Pierce drew a roughing-the-passer penalty on his firstseries to move B.C. into scoringposition and McCallum hit hissecond field goal of the game,from 32 yards, to make it 6-2.

A second roughing-the-passerpenalty against Saskatchewan fol-lowed Durant’s second fumbleand put the Lions in scoring posi-tion for Gore’s touchdown.

Saskatchewan had its ownissues on offence in the first halfas well, scoring only two punt sin-gles despite starting six of its firsteight possessions from its own 43or better.

“Those guys are good, especiallythat secondary,” said Riders slot-back Geroy Simon, who playedhis former team for the first timeafter 12 seasons in B.C. and tiedBen Cahoon’s career receptionsmark in the fourth quarter.

“They’re a veteran group, theyreally know how to make playsand they know how to hold intough situations.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

9However, Carlyle insists Riellyhas to prove he can play at

least 12 to 15 minutes a game inthe NHL and be an impact player,a tall order for a 19-year-old,which indicates he will get a nine-game look at the start of the sea-son and then be sent back to jun-ior by the 10-game limit forteenaged players.The best thatcan be said for Gardiner is thathe’s had an up-and-down trainingcamp. He was a minus-one in Sat-urday’s 3-2 pre-season shootoutwin over the Buffalo Sabres. Buthe was much better in Sunday’srematch at the Air Canada Centre,a 5-3 win for the Leafs, albeit stillwith room for improvement.

Gardiner got his first point ofthe preseason schedule in thefirst period when he made a nicerush down the left side, all theway to the Sabres net. True to hisuneven play so far, Gardiner thenthrew the puck in front of the netwhere there was no teammate totake it. But a lucky bounce saw itgo off a Sabres skate and right toLeafs forward Trevor Smith, whotapped it in the open net.

As the game wore on, though,Gardiner’s confidence appearedto grow. He made a nice play, forexample, stepping up from theBuffalo blueline to grab the puckand keep it in during a Leafsoffensive push. By the end of thesecond period, Gardiner was a

plus-two, led the Leafs in ice-timewith just under 16 minutes andthen scored his first goal of thepreseason in the third period.

But this was lost in the sillinessthat ended a sleepy affair in thethird period. Leafs star Phil Kesseland Sabres fighter John Scotttouched off a brawl when Scottwent after Kessel, who respondedwith a two-hander with his stick.

In seconds, every player on theice had a dance partner and newLeafs goaltender Jonathan Ber-nier travelled the length of the iceto fight Sabres counterpart RyanMiller. And another new Leaf, for-ward David Clarkson, left theplayers bench to join the fun,which could mean a 10-game sus-pension for him to start the regu-lar season. NHL disciplinarianBrendan Shanahan will be sortingthis out starting Monday.

So it seems Gardiner is on hisway to nailing down a placeamong the Leafs’ top four de-fencemen, although this is hardlya surprise. At this point, thatgroup is made up of Dion Pha-neuf, Carl Gunnarsson, Gardinerand Paul Ranger. If there is a sur-prise there, it is Ranger, 29, whoappears ready to rejoin the NHLafter a three-year absencebecause of personal reasons.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This has become the America’sCup that just won’t go away,thanks to fickle wind and OracleTeam USA’s remarkable resur-gence.

Twice down by seven races,the defending champions nodoubt have Emirates Team NewZealand on edge.

Skipper Jimmy Spithill and hismates with Oracle Team USAwere masterful in light air Sun-day on San Francisco Bay, win-ning Races 14 and 15 to cut theKiwis’ lead to 8-5.

Spithill steered his 72-foot cat-amaran to huge leads in bothraces and has won four in a rowsince the Kiwis reached matchpoint on Wednesday.

Docked two points in the big-gest cheating scandal in the 162-year history of the America’sCup, Oracle needs four morewins to keep the oldest trophyin international sports.

Oracle won Race 14 by 23 sec-onds and then took Race 15 by37 seconds.

After the regatta was slowedby too much wind, too littlewind and then wind from thewrong direction, Spithill and theOracle boys have made it a con-test.

Oracle has won six of the pasteight races and six of 10 sinceSpithill replaced American tacti-cian John Kostecki with BritishOlympic star Ben Ainslie, whohad been the helmsman of thebackup boat.

Race 16 and Race 17, if neces-sary, are scheduled for Monday.

Oracle Team USA, owned bysoftware billionaire Larry Elli-son, has made changes to itscatamaran every night at itsbase on Pier 10. Whatever it didafter Saturday’s race was post-poned made the cat look like arocket ship sailing downwind onits hydrofoils, its hulls complete-ly out of the water.

The American boat even foiledsailing upwind on the third legof Race 15 at about 35 mph.

Team New Zealand skipperDean Barker was slightly aheadat the start but had a little skidheading across the wind, whichhelped allow Spithill to reachthe first mark first and roundwith a 3-second lead. Sailingdownwind, Oracle opened alead of some 765 yards.

There was a heart-stoppingmoment when Oracle sailedinto a wind shadow and sloweddramatically as it passed Alca-traz Island and approached thetop mark. The Kiwis closed toabout 100 yards, but then theylost their wind and Spithillsurged around the fourth markand sped across the wind on itsfoils to the finish line just offAmerica’s Cup Park on Pier 27-29.

There was a close call duringthe prestart when Oracle tackedquickly on favoured starboardtack and the Kiwis crossed justahead on port. Spithill protestedbut it was waved off.

The fickle conditions on SanFrancisco Bay have already costthe Kiwis the chance to clinchthe Cup. On Friday, Race 13 wasabandoned because of the 40-minute time limit with theKiwis well ahead on the fourthleg in light breeze. When thewind rose and the race was re-sailed, Oracle won to stay alive.

In Race 14, Spithill controlledthe start and kept his black catahead the whole race, some-times leading by well more than300 yards.

Race 14 started in about 14knots of breeze, which droppedas the boats circled the five-legcourse between the Golden GateBridge and the Embarcadero.

The Kiwis closed to withinabout 30 yards when the boatscrossed on the windward thirdleg as they zigzagged toward theGolden Gate Bridge.

Oracle made an extra tack atthe top of the leg in order tomake a left turn at the thirdgate mark and go farther off-shore. Leading by 15 seconds atthe mark, the American-backedboat – which has only oneAmerican on its 11-man crew –again opened a lead of morethan 300 yards.

New Zealand closed again, butthen sailed into a lighter breezeand Spithill raced ahead.

This America’s Cup is tiedwith the 2003 regatta in Auck-land as the longest ever, at 16days. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Obituaries

When he was two years old,Harold Ship was given a

hammer by a Jewish workmanwho came to his family’s modestapartment in Westmount, Que.,for kosher meals prepared by hismother. The hammer struck apassion in the child: He wouldspend hours bashing nails into adoor frame, much to his parents’chagrin.

Mr. Ship lived that passion allhis life. As a builder and architect,and as a husband, father andemployer, he was happiest whenworking with his hands, nurtur-ing, creating, playing and show-ing by example.

“He wasn’t the kind of dad whowould sit down and play withyour toys. You played with histoys,” said his daughter, HeidiShip. “We gardened and builtthings with him. Like stone walls– I remember he had us collectingstones, which he would pay us forby size.”

Of medium height, with a bushybeard and an unruly head of hair,Mr. Ship was one of the first char-tered town planners in Canada,drawing up plans for everythingfrom shopping centres to com-munities such as Nun’s Island,located in the St. Lawrence Riverjust south of the island of Mon-treal.

But over a career that lastedmore than half a century, hiswork was so much more thanthat, ranging from small-scale in-teriors to large commercial/resi-dential projects. There wererestaurants, bowling alleys andfactories. There were the crum-bling stone buildings in Old Mon-treal that he saved and rebuilt asapartments and office spaceswith high ceilings and generous,open rooms.

He and business partner HymanKrakow ran their own firm out ofone of those buildings, completewith a roster of clients that readlike a who’s who of corporateMontreal. They included Domin-ion Textile, Reitmans clothingstores, IGA and Metro groceries,Odeon cinemas, Air Canada andMolson Breweries, which Mr. Shipwas so faithful to, he never drankany other brand of beer.

Mr. Ship is perhaps best knownfor Alexis Nihon Plaza, a projectright on the edge of downtownMontreal that broke barrierswhen it was unveiled more than40 years ago. For the first time inthe city, there were apartmentsand offices in towers that wereconnected to a shopping centreand the metro, or subway system– a multi-use development whereyou could live, shop, work andeven exercise, all in one place. Al-though the development hasbeen changed over the years andwas partly destroyed by a fire, theapartment tower remains a testa-ment to his vision.

Mr. Ship died at home on Aug.20 at the age of 91 of natural caus-es. He leaves his wife, Nancy, andhis children, Martin, Heidi, Anna-belle and Steven.

This summer, Mr. Ship donatedall his files – boxes upon boxesthat stretched for 28 metres, filledwith plans, drawings and corre-spondence – to Quebec’s NationalLibrary and Archives. He wantedto mark an era in the city’s histo-ry, a time when Montreal was notso much a greying dowager but athriving, reigning queen.

Archivist Julie Fontaine wasamazed by both his generosityand the longevity of his career.“He continued to work right upuntil 2010,” she said. “It is so hardto single out one project, but

when I asked him which one hewas most passionate about, hesmiled and replied, ‘AlexisNihon.’

“His papers are so important forfuture research because his workwas so varied and the papers real-ly show us how an architect’soffice worked over a long period.”

In a letter to the archives, DavidCovo, an architecture professor atMcGill University, called Mr.Ship’s oeuvre a defining 50-year“moment” in Montreal’s history –one that spans a period of intenseand adventurous investment inthe city’s future.

“The list of his built work in-cludes the architecture thatdefines every citizen’s experienceof the city,” Mr. Covo wrote. “(It’s)a tantalizing glimpse of who weare and where we came from.”

Harold (Herschel) Zvi Ship wasborn in Beaurepaire, Que., justwest of Montreal, on July 27, 1922,the third of Jacob and AnnieShip’s five children. The familywas enjoying a break from theirsmall, hot and stuffy apartmentabove Jacob Ship’s tailor shop inWestmount when Mrs. Ship wentinto labour. Her obstetrician hadto rush out by train to help hergive birth.

Growing up, there was littlemoney for extras, so to help makeends meet his mother preparedmeals for Jewish construction

workers who otherwise wouldnot have been able to find kosherfood in the area.

Besides his early passion forconstruction, young Harold lovedto garden, tending plots the Cityof Westmount provided for chil-dren; the flowers they grew wereplaced in planters along the mainstreets. From his father, helearned how to make pickles – arecipe he spent his life trying tomaster – while his mother taughthim to make applesauce. Whenhe was older, he added hard ciderto his repertoire, and bruschettafrom the tomatoes that he wasfamous for cultivating.

Around the age of 16, hedropped out of school and liedabout his age to join the RoyalCanadian Air Force. He yearned tobe a tail gunner but it was not tobe: Through unhappy experi-ence, he found out he sufferedfrom airsickness, becoming nau-seated almost as soon as the tinyfighter planes took off. Instead,he trained as a radio operator. Atone point, he was stationed in thefar north, monitoring the short-waves for coded messages thatcould signal an attack.

When the war ended, Mr. Shipused the veterans’ program to goto McGill. There, he pursued hispassion for building by studyingfor a degree in architecture whilealso working full-time at an archi-

tecture firm. It was at once exhil-arating and exhausting. Upongraduation, he was immediatelymade a firm partner.

At McGill, Mr. Ship and hisfriends, who were older thanmost other students and didn’tlike hard-partying fraternities,started one of their own theycalled “The Georges.” Democraticand lacking any kind of hierarchy,everybody who joined wasknown as “George” because it wasa plain, simple name used byboth commoners and kings. Theybelieved that education was agreat equalizer and a powerfultool that could change lives.

Mr. Ship lived by that credo therest of his life. Sandra Horley, whoat the age of 24 was working ashis secretary, recalled that he wasalways emphasizing the value ofeducation and actually fundedher first course at college.

“With Harold’s help, I went onto Oxford University and laterbecame the CEO of Refuge, anational domestic violence chari-ty in the U.K.,” she wrote in ane-mail. “He was a wonderful, car-ing, generous man.”

While at McGill, Mr. Ship metthe love of his life. At the time, hewas president of Hillel, the stu-dent Jewish organization, whileNancy Solomon was its secretary.They married on July 28, 1954, oneday after his 32nd birthday. A

patient speech pathologist whoworked with autistic and devel-opmentally delayed children andtheir families, she was the perfectcounterpoint to her husband,who always seemed to be on tothe next thing before the first onewas finished. Together they trav-elled the world and spent time inFlorida and at their farm in Ver-mont, working the land withoutgloves so they could feel the dirtbeneath their fingers.

Both lived very much in thepresent. When they went to Israelfor the first time, Mrs. Ship sentthe rest of the family a photo-graph of her husband at theHolocaust memorial, Yad Vash-em. If you looked carefully, youcould see him sitting on a benchamidst the crowds, reading thatday’s New York Times.

No matter what he was doing,Mr. Ship would always stop towatch the sunset, preferably witha glass of good wine. This was hismagic hour, a moment of reposein a busy and engaged life.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Walter (Volodya)Zakaluzny

Team Canada soccer player, story-teller, great-grandfather, whistler.Born May 2, 1925, in Peremyshl,Poland, died Sept. 1, 2013, in Toron-to of natural causes, aged 88.

‘I jumped up to head the ball.He jumped up to defend. We

hit heads, and I spent the nextfew minutes spitting out most ofmy teeth!”

This was one of the many sto-ries Walter repeated, and one ofthe many that his wife, Paula,corrected. While Walter may ormay not have lost his front teethon a soccer play, the beautifulgame opened doors for him.

When he was a refugee in post-war Germany, his soccer prowesscaught Paula’s eye. She watchedhis game, and the rest was histo-ry. They had two kids in Ger-many, then two more in Canada.

Walter’s onfield skills led TeamUkraine to soccer gold over othernationalities in a displaced per-sons camp in postwar Germany.That led to his signing with aGerman semi-pro team in thehighest league that then existed.

If he had been born today, Paulasays, he might have made a mil-lion in the Bundesliga.

While Walter’s two sistersimmigrated to the United States,he was recruited by a team inToronto. Games took him acrossthe eastern seaboard, and hebecame famous for his headers,his friendly personality and,according to his contemporaries,for a bicycle-kick goal in one par-ticular game.

Walter represented Canada atthe qualifying rounds for the 1958World Cup, playing two games inMexico, beating the U.S. but los-ing to the hosts. He recalled laterthat the Mexico match was thehighest-calibre game he had everplayed. He became so famousamong émigrés and others thatwhen his grandson visited aUkrainian sports bar in New York60 years later, elderly men hob-

bled over to shake his hand andtell him what a star Walter was.

When he wasn’t playing, hegave much of his time to a steelcompany in southwest Ontariothat helped build the Twin Tow-ers in New York.

Walter and Paula had fivegrandsons, two of whom theyraised when their eldest daugh-ter, Katrusia, succumbed to can-cer. They were proud Ukrainiansand shared beautiful folk songsand traditions over the years.Even in his later years, Walteroften whistled or broke intosong.

He loved making his younggrandsons smile, and gave themquarters for bringing him beerfrom the basement fridge. Laterin life, he would often sneak sipsfrom a bottle he would nursebehind the couch when his wifewasn’t looking.

He loved house guests. I wasalways greeted with kisses and asparkle in his eye, even after astroke caused him to forget who Iwas. When we brought his great-grandson over, he loved seeinghim, even though he couldn’tcomprehend his relationship tohim.

Walter died peacefully withfamily surrounding him. His sto-ries, humour and whistling willbe missed by those who lovedhim.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
