Aymen Derbali sat in a wheelchair and described

how seven bullets destroyed his life − his words de-
livered with poignancy to a judge, to lawyers, to a

who sat only a few metres away.
Mr. Derbali addressed the court during a sentenc-

guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of six
men at a Quebec City mosque last year. As Mr. Der-

paralyzed and unable to hold his own children, Mr.
Bissonnette sat to his right, watching from a
glassed-in enclosure.
Mr. Derbali says he wakes up in the morning
thinking the entire shooting was a nightmare. “But
it wasn’t a nightmare,” he told the court, “it was re-

Ecuador, Colombia plan joint manhunt

Operation is in response
to journalists’ deaths,
but some say move is
long overdue in the
narco-trafficking region
STEPHANIE NOLEN
RIO DE JANEIRO
CAROLINA LOZA LÉON BOGOTA
Ecuador and Colombia are pre-
paring a joint manhunt and mil-
itary operation in the border re-
gion where two journalists and
their driver were killed by a dis-
sident faction of Colombian re-
bels last week. Ecuadoreans an-
gry at their government for its
failure to do more to save the
team from national newspaper El
Comercio say this is a long-over-
due response in a region that has
become a narco-trafficking corri-
dor after decades of state neglect.
The deaths shocked Ecuador
and led to sharp criticism of the
government of President Lenin
Moreno for its handling of the ab-
duction. The killings also made
clear that although Colombia
signed a peace deal with the Rev-
olutionary Armed Forces of Col-
ombia, known as the FARC, in
2016, rebel activity in the country
retains the potential to destabil-
ize the region.
“The kidnapping and murder
of the El Comercio press workers
shows how the complex violence
in Colombia is far from over,”
said Andrea Castro, a security ex-
pert in Quito.
Ecuador has sent 550 police of-
ficers to the town of Mataje,
where the men were working
when they were abducted, and
the government said it would tar-

get the dissident rebels in a mil-
itary operation. Ms. Castro said
that it will be the first real joint
engagement in border security,
but must be well-planned and
continuing, rather than just polit-
ical window-dressing, given the
multiple actors fighting for con-
trol of the coca-growing regions
of southern Colombia and the
transit routes around the border.
The El Comercio reporting
team (reporter Javier Ortega,
photographer Paul Rivas and
driver Efrain Segarra) was investi-
gating drug-related violence in
the border region when they
were abducted on March 26. A re-
bel group known as the Oliver
Sinisterra Front released a
“proof-of-life” video a few days
later in which the men, shown
chained together in the jungle,
addressed Mr. Moreno and said
he must secure the release of
three rebels who were jailed in
Ecuador on charges of smuggling,
and meet other demands, to save
them.
On April 11, the Front said in a
statement that it killed the men
because the two governments
were carrying out military oper-
ations near its base – something
both governments deny. Two
days later, Mr. Moreno confirmed
the Ecuadoreans were dead. The
killings did not follow the usual
pattern for hostage-takings in the
Colombian conflict – which typ-
ically involved lengthy negotia-
tions – and there is speculation
that the rebels were mainly seek-
ing to raise their profile as influ-
ential actors in the conflict zone.
Top Colombian officials, in-
cluding the Minister of Defence,
immediately flew to Quito for
meetings about a co-ordinated
response. The International
Committee of the Red Cross is at-
tempting to co-ordinate recovery
of the men’s bodies; the military
offensive appears to be on hold
until that is concluded.
The Sinisterra Front is led by
Walter (Gaucho) Artizala, who
was a mid-rank FARC command-
er and operated on both sides of
the border; he is now believed to
have about 80 troops under his
leadership. He has no relation-
ship with the leaders of the FARC
who signed the peace accord, Ms.
Castro noted. “It shows how vio-
lence is mutating in the region,”
she said.
The great majority of the
FARC’s 7,000 fighters demobi-
lized after the signing of the
peace deal, handing in their
weapons and transitioning to ci-
vilian life. As part of the agree-
ment, the FARC promised to end
its involvement in narco-traffick-
ing, with which it once funded its
guerrilla war. However, some of
the small number of rebels who
rejected the peace deal have
formed alliances with coca-ex-
porting organizations including
Mexican cartels who have moved
to occupy the vacuum created by
the FARC pullback.
In their last article published
before the kidnapping, the El
Comercio team wrote about the
presence of FARC dissidents in
Ecuador’s Pacific coast border
with Colombia. The region has
drawn little scrutiny from succes-
sive Ecuadorean governments,
despite the fact that residents
routinely reported FARC and
then later dissident rebel activity,
and that it is a well-known route
for narco-trafficking. The densely
forested border region has many
wide rivers that lead to the coast,
where drug shipments can be
loaded on to speedboats for
transport north to Mexico and
North America.
The journalists were investi-
gating two recent bombings,
highly unusual events in an oth-
erwise peaceful country. In late
January, a car bomb behind a po-
lice station wounded 28 people in
San Lorenzo, a town near the bor-
der; two months later a roadside
bomb near the town killed three
people and wounded 11. Ecuado-
rean authorities say Mr. Artizala
ordered both attacks.
However, the journalist kill-
ings are seen as a sharp escala-
tion of the conflict, one that will
require a significant response
from Quito. Protesters gathered
outside the presidential palace
the day after the deaths were con-
firmed, chanting “You did noth-
ing!” and major news outlets
staged blackouts as a sign of
mourning for their colleagues.

PM’s national security adviser

says briefing was his own idea
LAURA STONE
MICHELLE ZILIO OTTAWA
Justin Trudeau’s national securi-
ty adviser said it was his idea to
brief reporters about a contro-
versy that took place during the
Prime Minister’s trip to India in
an effort to counter what he
called a co-ordinated misinfor-
mation campaign against three
Canadian public institutions.
Daniel Jean told a Parliamen-
tary committee on Monday that
he worked with the Prime Minis-
ter’s Office to organize the back-
ground briefing with select re-
porters after Jaspal Atwal, a B.C.
Sikh convicted of trying to kill an
Indian cabinet minister in 1986,
attended official events in India.
Liberal MP Randeep Sarai ini-
tially took responsibility for in-
viting Mr. Atwal. But Mr. Jean
suggested in a background brief-
ing that factions in India con-
cerned about the threat of Sikh
extremism might have orches-
trated the presence of Mr. Atwal.
The two different accounts led
Conservative MPs to press the
government to explain who was
responsible for Mr. Atwal’s pres-
ence during the Prime Minister’s
trip, which was heavily criticized
for everything from his elaborate
outfits to the lack of substantial
announcements.
Mr. Jean said he offered the
briefing to counter false informa-
tion that was circulating that
CSIS, the RCMP and the Cana-
dian High Commission in Delhi
− “three respected institutions”
− were aware of Mr. Atwal’s pres-
ence in advance, and that the
PMO did not stop it.
Mr. Jean said security agencies
acted to have the invitation with-
drawn as soon as they were noti-
fied that Mr. Atwal had attended
an event during the trip.
“I never raised a conspiracy
theory,” Mr. Jean told the House
of Commons’ public safety and
national security committee.
“What I said is that there was
co-ordinated efforts to try to mis-
inform, and I said that these
were either private people – it
was definitely not the govern-
ment of India – and if it was peo-
ple from India, they were acting
in a rogue way.”
Yet, later in his testimony he
said: “What I [told] the media in
the background briefing is that
there was what seemed to be or-
chestrated misinformation…and
I went out of my way to say, very
clearly, this is not the govern-
ment of India. They said well
who [is it]? I said well it’s either
private citizens, or it’s people
that are from the government
doing it and are not blessed.”
After the meeting, Mr. Jean
told reporters he did not know
who was behind the co-ordinat-
ed efforts.
Mr. Jean told the committee
the Indian government removed
Mr. Atwal from a blacklist in 2017
and allowed him to travel to the
country last summer. He said Mr.
Atwal is no longer considered a
security threat, but is a potential
embarrassment for the Prime
Minister.
The Conservatives accused Mr.
Jean of backing away from his
original “conspiracy theory” dur-
ing Monday’s testimony.
“The Prime Minister clearly
has to say this was a failure of
the Liberal caucus and of his of-
fice to properly vet the list for
this trip and he should apologize
for that, and apologize to the In-
dian government,” Tory foreign
affairs critic Erin O’Toole said.
The Conservatives and NDP
agreed it was inappropriate for
Mr. Jean to brief reporters and
that he caused more confusion
by attempting to dispel so-called
misinformation.
“Why someone who occupies
an extremely important position
such as that is basically engaging
in communication exercises is a
question that I have,” NDP pub-
lic safety critic Matthew Dubé
said.
Last month, the Conservatives
forced more than 20 hours of
non-stop voting in the House to
press the government to call Mr.
Jean to testify. The Liberals of-
fered a classified briefing to Con-
servative Leader Andrew Scheer.
Mr. Jean then agreed to testify
before MPs also.
“There is a narrative after the
trip that developed that some-
how I was either being used as a
human shield, or somehow I had
crossed my public service values
to go and do this,” Mr. Jean said.
“Canadians have the right to
know when there are people try-
ing to create a false narrative us-
ing three respected public insti-
tutions.”
Mr. Jean called Mr. Atwal’s
presence a “faux pas” and agreed
with Mr. O’Toole that the Liber-
als were responsible for issuing
the invitation.
“If a Liberal MP had refused to
invite Jaspal Atwal to the Prime
Minister’s events in India, there
would be no scandal, is that fair
to say?” Mr. O’Toole asked.
“You’re correct, sir,” Mr. Jean
said.
The new national security
committee of parliamentarians
is also conducting a special re-
view of the affair. The commit-
tee, comprised of MPs and sen-
ators with the highest level of se-
curity clearance, will study alle-
gations relating to the India trip,
including claims of foreign inter-
ference, security risks and inap-
propriate use of intelligence.

CAMPBELL
CLARK
OPINION
OTTAWA
s media-briefers go, Daniel Jean may
A be the world’s most incompetent. At
least, judging by what the Prime Min-
ister’s national security adviser told a
Commons committee on Monday.
Mr. Jean told the committee that when he
briefed reporters in February on Justin Tru-
deau’s gaffe-filled trip to India, he was not al-
leging a conspiracy. He only wanted to refute
incorrect reports that claimed security agen-
cies knew in advance that failed assassin Jaspal
Atwal was on the guest list for two of Mr. Tru-
deau’s receptions and did nothing.
But headlines after his briefing were about
something else. Several of the journalists Mr.
Jean briefed wrote stories in which a senior of-
ficial suggested Mr. Atwal got into India be-
cause of efforts by people, perhaps rogue fac-
tions in the Indian government, who were in-
tent on embarrassing the Canadian govern-
ment.
On Monday, Mr. Jean testified that the brief-
ing was not aimed at protecting the Prime Min-
ister, but defending the reputation of Canada’s
security institutions.
But if it was just an effort to correct the re-
cord, it spread a gob of confusion. His damage
control left a crater. Yet, in his testimony, Mr.
Jean did not seem to know what went wrong.
Mr. Jean insisted he never told reporters
there was a conspiracy in the Atwal affair. In-
stead, he said, there was a co-ordinated misin-
formation campaign, possibly carried out by
rogue elements of the Indian government –
which, check your dictionary, is a conspiracy.
The reporters he spoke to wrote about an en-
tirely different conspiracy, anyway, so it seems
the national adviser got on the phone to talk
about plots in ways that a selection of journal-
ists from major news outlets can’t follow.
That’s a problem, too.
Let’s go back to the basics of this tale. Jaspal
Atwal, a former Sikh nationalist who was con-
victed of trying to kill an Indian cabinet minis-
ter on a visit to Canada in 1986, was invited to
two of Mr. Trudeau’s receptions in India, and
showed up at one. Mr. Trudeau said it was a
mistake, and Liberal MP Randeep Sarai took
the blame for inviting Mr. Atwal.
Naturally there were questions. Why wasn’t
the guest list vetted? It was embarrassing.
Then Mr. Jean briefed journalists, including
those travelling with Mr. Trudeau and a few
others. (This writer was not one of them.) The
reports that followed sparked controversy be-
cause they cited a Canadian official suggesting
the scandal might have been orchestrated in
India.
Mr. Jean testified that he briefed journalists
because he had seen reports that suggested key
government agencies – CSIS, the RCMP, and
the High Commission to India – knew about
Mr. Atwal’s invitation, and his past, but did
nothing. He said it “appeared” to be a co-ordi-
nated misinformation campaign and he just
wanted to counter it.
Setting the record straight is good. Mr. Jean
was right to tell reporters the government was
not tipped in advance about Mr. Atwal, that the
PMO didn’t interfere so he could attend, and
that the Canadian government did not help Mr.
Atwal get into India.
It’s when he started speculating about who
might be out to discredit Canada that he
veered off course, particularly because, as he
admitted, he didn’t know. His testimony sug-
gests there might not be any evidence of a co-
ordinated campaign – he’d seen stories that
blamed three Canadian institutions, so it
looked that way. It was very unwise to suggest
it was a coordinated campaign that could be
the work of rogue elements of the Indian gov-
ernment – even if he said it might not be.
The reporters he briefed didn’t write about a
misinformation campaign, anyway. Several cit-
ed a Canadian official suggesting factions in In-
dia orchestrated Atwal’s presence in India. The
Canadian Press did, and the CBC. The National
Post’s John Ivison wrote a piece asking why In-
dia removed Mr. Atwal from a travel blacklist,
quoting an official saying, “This was not an ac-
cident,” and that the Indian intelligence ser-
vice might want to embarrass the Canadian
government.
That’s a big difference. If it was a misunder-
standing, Mr. Trudeau should have put this
straight weeks ago. The PM should have also
made it clear there was no conspiracy to get Mr.
Atwal to his reception. And the Atwal affair
could have been over in a few days.

French President leads West’s push
for peace in Syria following air strikes
PAUL WALDIE PARIS
After firing more than 100 missiles at Sy-
ria, Western allies are now trying to co-
ordinate a peace process that would end
the seven-year long conflict but could still
leave Bashar al-Assad in power.
French President Emmanuel Macron
has been leading the effort and on Mon-
day he said Western allies have a respon-
sibility to the Syrian people to help them
build a free society once the civil war has
ended.
During a press conference after meet-
ing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the
Élysée Palace, Mr. Macron offered to act as
a mediator between the West and Mr. al-
Assad’s main backers, Russia and Iran, as
well as Turkey, which has been fighting
Kurdish forces in northern Syria who have
been aligned to the United States. “Peace
won’t happen in Syria until we have cer-
tainty that all minorities are represented,”
he said
This will be the latest in many attempts
at ending the war. The United Nations has
been pursuing a peace process for two
years that would include constitutional
reform and elections, but talks have bro-
ken down. The European Union is hoping
to revive the UN process when EU foreign
ministers meet next week to discuss Syria
and put pressure on Russia to involve the
Syrian government in the talks. Russian
President Vladimir Putin has held meet-
ings with Mr. al-Assad, Iran and Turkey in
the hopes of structuring a power-sharing
arrangement, but that, too, has failed.
The West had for years been calling for
Mr. al-Assad’s removal and used that as a
pretext to back rebels battling the regime.
But that has been quietly dropped as Syr-
ian forces, with Russian and Iranian help,
have gained the upper hand. Now Mr. al-
Assad looks stronger than ever and Mr.
Macron is suggesting working with Russia
and Iran on a solution. That, too, seems
difficult given the growing mistrust be-
tween Russia and the West, compounded
by the military strikes which Russia has
insisted were illegal.
During Monday’s press conference, Mr.
Macron defended Friday’s missile strikes,
saying it was a legitimate action against
the Syrian regime’s use of chemical weap-
ons. And he said the West will continue to
fight the Islamic State in the country until
that battle is won. But, he added, the West
will continue to have a responsibility to
the Syrian people after the civil conflict
ends. That responsibility includes helping
develop a constitutional and political
framework that will allow Syrians living in
the country, as well as those forced into
exile around the world, to “decide freely
their future political regime and assure a
constitutional structure that permits an
inclusive solution.”
Mr. Macron made no mention of the
removal of Mr. al-Assad and he joined
British Prime Minister Theresa May in in-
sisting that Friday’s military action was
not “about regime change.” U.S. President
Donald Trump has also been lukewarm
about removing Mr. al-Assad as a priority
and Mr. Trump recently indicated he
wanted to pull U.S. forces out of the area.
The French President appears to be
treading a careful line on Syria. He led the
call for the missile strikes and he has
harshly condemned the Assad regime,
saying it was an enemy of the Syrian peo-
ple.
Mr. Macron was also the first Western
leader to speak with Mr. Putin after the
missile attacks and he urged the Russian
leader to engage in more dialogue “to
bring peace and stability back to Syria.”
On Monday, Mr. Macron also offered to

work with Russia and Turkey on human-
itarian relief efforts in Syria.
It’s unclear how far his appeals will go.
Russia has long backed Mr. al-Assad, and
securing his position − and protecting
Russia’s military presence in the country
− will be key.
While Mr. Macron was outlining a
peaceful way forward, Ms. May was de-
fending the air strikes in the British Parlia-
ment, where she accused the Assad re-
gime of committing a horrifying act with
its alleged use of chemical weapons in the
Syrian city of Douma earlier this month.
“Innocent families – seeking shelter in un-
derground bunkers – found dead with
foam in their mouths, burns to their eyes
and their bodies surrounded by a chlo-
rine-like odour,” Ms. May told MPs.
She said it was clear that only the Assad
regime could have carried out the attack
with Russia’s help. And she blamed both
Syria and Russia for preventing UN chem-
ical-weapons inspectors from reaching
the site of the attack. That delay was one
reason the Western allies had to act quick-
ly with the military strikes, she said. “We
cannot wait to alleviate further human-
itarian suffering caused by chemical
weapons attacks.”
U.S. officials have also expressed con-
cern that Russians may have visited the
site and removed evidence. Russian and
Syrian forces have denied holding up the
inspectors or tampering with evidence
and both have said the chemical attack
never took place.
The head of the international Organiza-
tion for the Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons said on Monday that Syrian and
Russian forces had cited security issues for
delays in allowing inspectors to reach the
site of the alleged gas attack. Russian offi-
cials have said the inspectors will be per-
mitted entry on Wednesday.

Judge delays
deciding on
materials
collected in
Cohen raids
BENJAMIN WEISER
ALAN FEUER
A federal judge on Monday held
off on deciding who should get
the first look at a trove of materi-
als seized in the FBI raids last
week on U.S. President Donald
Trump’s personal lawyer’s office,
home, hotel room and safe-de-
posit box.
Feeling her way toward a reso-
lution of the high-stakes clash in-
volving Mr. Trump and the feder-
al prosecutors investigating the
lawyer, Michael Cohen, the judge
did not grant requests by Mr.
Trump and Mr. Cohen for an ex-
clusive first glimpse at the materi-
als before the prosecution. But
she also decided that prosecutors
would not immediately have ac-
cess to materials, either.
U.S. District Court Judge said
she was considering appointing a
special master to assist in the re-
view, and that Mr. Trump would
ultimately receive copies of the
documents that pertain to him.
The courtroom battle over
what to do with the seized mate-
rial came one week after federal
agents, in an extraordinary move,
descended on Mr. Cohen’s prop-
erties and walked away with 10
boxes of documents and as many
as a dozen electronic devices, in-
cluding cellphones and computer
hard drives.
Lawyers for the President and
Mr. Cohen, and prosecutors with
the U.S. Attorney’s office for the
Southern District of New York,
had asked Judge Wood for the
right to look at the documents in
order to determine which among
them might be protected by attor-
ney-client privilege. That step is
important because it could affect
which documents prosecutors
can ultimately use in the investi-
gation.
In the aftermath of the raid,
people in the Trump administra-
tion said they saw the Cohen in-
quiry as a more serious threat to
the President than the investiga-
tion by special counsel, Robert
Mueller.
While Judge Wood did not for-
mally rule on which side should
get the initial look and said that
discussions would continue, she
added that she trusted the prose-
cutors. “I have faith in the South-
ern District U.S. Attorney’s office
that their integrity is unimpeach-
able,” Judge Wood said.
The seized documents could
shed light on the President’s rela-
tionship with a lawyer who has
helped navigate some of Mr.
Trump’s thorniest personal and
business problems.

Veteran Affairs Minister

Those were reasons Prime

when he named Mr. O’Regan, a
good friend of 16 years, as Minis-
ter of Veterans Affairs last sum-
mer.
But there was something else,
too: an ability to empathize with
those who served, as they return
to civilian life.

Ottawa nixes rules that deny immigrants with disabilities permanent residence
TERESA WRIGHT OTTAWA
After four decades, the federal
government is getting rid of rules
that turned away would-be im-
migrants with intellectual or
physical disabilities, Immigra-
tion Minister Ahmed Hussen said
on Monday.
The government will no long-
er be allowed to reject perma-
nent resident applications from
those with serious health condi-
tions or disabilities.
Most of those impacted by the
policy have been economic im-
migrants already working and
creating jobs in Canada, but
whose children or spouses may
have a disability, Mr. Hussen said.
“The current provisions on
medical inadmissibility are over
40 years old and are clearly not in
line with Canadian values or our
government’s vision of inclu-
sion.”
He cited the case of a tenured
professor at York University who
was denied permanent residence
because his son had Down syn-
drome, and another case of a
family that came to Canada and
started a business, but were re-
jected because of a child with
Refugees left homeless
things out, it broke me.”
Mr. O’Regan, a boyish-looking
47, left CTV’s Canada AM morn-
ing show in 2011 to pursue other
opportunities. He went to New
York, got an agent, even audi-
tioned for 60 Minutes. But the
work never came. “You don’t
make the cut. You aim high …
but there wasn’t much of a soft
landing,” Mr. O’Regan said.
After a decade of structure, he
didn’t know how to handle the
change. He started drinking too
much to cope.
“I thrived on chaos at one
point. I loved it. I don’t any more,
I definitely don’t,” Mr. O’Regan
said.
He ended up running for the
Liberals in the 2015 election. A
few months after winning his St.
John’s-area seat, Mr. O’Regan en-
tered a rehabilitation facility for
alcoholism, at the urging of fam-
ily and friends including the
Prime Minister.
“ ‘You’re not running 100 per
cent,’ ” he said Mr. Trudeau told
him. “ ‘And I need you 100 per
cent.’ ”
Sitting with a Diet Coke on the
table of his office beside Parlia-
ment Hill, Mr. O’Regan, looking
relaxed in a grey tailored vest,
said he hasn’t relapsed since
completing his 40-day treatment
in early 2016.
Now, Mr. O’Regan said he
draws on his own personal strug-
epilepsy. “These newcomers can
contribute and are not a burden
to Canada,” the minister said.
“These newcomers have the
ability to help grow our economy
and enrich our social fabric.”
The changes will amend the
definition of social services by re-
moving references to special
education, social and vocational
rehabilitation services and per-
sonal-support services.
Ottawa is also tripling the cost
threshold at which an applica-
tion for permanent residency can
be denied on medical grounds.
That will allow immigrants
with minor health conditions
that have relatively low health
and social-services costs to be ap-
proved for permanent residency,
such as those with hearing or vi-
sual impairments.
Of the 177,000 economic im-
migrants admitted to Canada ev-
ery year, about 1,000 are affected
by the medical inadmissibility
policy. The changes are expected
to dispense with a majority of
those cases.
There have been calls to repeal
the policy entirely, including
from the House of Commons citi-
zenship and immigration com-
mittee, which studied the issue

gles to relate to the 130,000 or so
clients of Veterans Affairs, who
are returning to a life they may
not recognize.
“I am just so grateful for this
job and for this work,” Mr. O’Re-
gan said. “As daunting as it is, it
has purpose.”
But many outspoken veterans
feel they’re not being heard –
and that the Liberal government
is failing to deliver on its pledge
of better services.
“There’s been a lot of decep-
tion, disappointment and a very
clear failure to follow through on
a campaign promise,” said Sean
Bruyea, a veterans’ advocate.
During the election campaign,
last year.
Liberal MP and committee
chair Rob Oliphant said he had
hoped government would an-
nounce a full repeal. But more
work must be done to determine
the full cost implications to the
provinces, he said.
The current provisions
on medical
inadmissibility are over
40 years old and are
clearly not in line with
Canadian values or our
government’s vision
of inclusion.

IMMIGRATION MINISTER
“We at [the] committee could
not get good cost data,” Mr. Oli-
phant said.
“Right now [Mr. Hussen] is go-
ing to have to look at this, the
Minister of Health will have to
look at this, the provinces and
territories are going to have to

Mr. Trudeau said the govern-
ment would cover the cost of
four years of postsecondary edu-
cation for veterans. But it turns
out that it will only be available
to veterans who served after
April, 2006, and those with less
than six years of service will not
qualify.
Mr. O’Regan blames the New
Veterans Charter, which came in-
to effect in 2006, for the cutoff –
a timeline Mr. Bruyea describes
as “arbitrary.”
Mr. O’Regan also defends the
government’s coming “pensions
for life” plan, which is set to take
effect next April. The plan in-
cludes a tax-free monthly pen-
sion payment, and a top-up for
pain and suffering. The govern-
ment is also amalgamating six
pre-existing benefits for veter-
ans, whose service-related health
problems make it difficult to find
work, into one taxable income-
replacement benefit.
Veterans groups say the life-
time pensions will pay much less
than what was offered under the
old Pension Act to military per-
sonnel who retired before 2006.
As part of the government’s
pitch, Mr. O’Regan has been at-
tending town halls across the
country with veterans and their
families. “I have work to do. I’m
out there. I believe in this,” he
said.
Mr. O’Regan may also be fac-
year or two they are going to rec-
ognize that this is not a signifi-
cant cost.”
But Conservative immigration
critic Michelle Rempel says she
believes the costs could indeed
be high. She was critical of gov-
ernment’s decision to move
ahead with changes before any
concrete data have been devel-
oped to determine the costs to
the provinces and territories.
“My concern is that the federal
government is downloading
costs to the provinces without a
real plan to deal with that and
that seems like something they
should have done and consid-
ered before they made this an-
nouncement.”
Mr. Hussen said Ottawa will
pay the costs of the changes an-
nounced on Monday, but re-
mained unclear about whether
that would mean additional
money in health or social-servic-
es transfers.
“We will reflect on these
changes to see the impact that
they will have. We have to wait
and see what the numbers will be
before I can answer that ques-
tion, ” Mr. Hussen said.
Meanwhile, groups that have
been advocating for a full repeal

gan said he received a request
from the ethics office for infor-
mation for a preliminary review,
and will co-operate fully. He
called the trip a “personal vaca-
tion” and said he reported it to
the commissioner’s office when
he returned.
In an interview, Mr. O’Regan
brushed off concerns about the
trip. “He came, he went, he came
back … that’s it.”
Mr. O’Regan took the trip with
the Prime Minister and his fam-

appointment over the changes,
which they say don’t go far
enough.
James Hicks, national director
of the Canadian Council of Cana-
dians with Disabilities, called the
changes mere “tweaks.” His orga-
nization wanted a full repeal of
the medical inadmissibility pro-
visions.
“While today’s announcement
should make it easier for some
persons with disabilities to come
to Canada, it falls far short of leg-
islative reform that we had ex-
pected.”
Felipe Montoya, the university
professor whose case was cited
by Mr. Hussen, welcomed the
changes, but added he feels they
fall short of what many advo-
cates and individuals have
pushed for.
“We recognize this timid move
in the right direction, but will be
relentless in calling for what
should have been done today
and not in some indefinite future
– full elimination of this discrimi-

PM’s political future hinges on pipeline plan

If Trans Mountain
expansion goes forward,
Trudeau is likely to win
the 2019 federal election
JOHN
IBBITSON
OPINION
ustin Trudeau’s handling of
Those that fail are punished.
Nine out of 10 Canadians could
not explain the Liberal Grand
Bargain on energy and the envi-
ronment. In essence, that bargain
involves a very Liberal sort of
compromise.
Because the government is
committed to fighting climate
change, it has imposed a national
carbon tax, which takes effect
next year. Most provinces already
have one in place. Each province
may implement the tax as it sees
ish Columbia’s NDP government
and Indigenous and environmen-
tal protesters.
To his great credit, Mr. Trudeau
is staring them down. On Sunday,
he promised financial support for
the pipeline, in concert with the
Alberta government. As well, new
legislation will explicitly affirm
the constitutional right of the
federal government to approve
such projects.
He is showing the steel of his
father − which is ironic, because
ment’s authority to build the
pipeline, although the Supreme
Court is unlikely to adjudicate
that challenge until after the gen-
eral election.
The biggest problem involves
the protesters. Dozens of Indige-
nous communities in B.C. and Al-
berta have signed agreements
with Kinder Morgan approving
the Trans Mountain expansion.
Many are First Nations who al-
ready have the pipeline going
through their lands, and who will
If B.C. balks at arresting protes-
ters, will Ottawa send in troops?
The answer is almost certainly no.
Deploying the army in a province
without first being asked by the
provincial government is a bridge
too far.
Central Canadians are bystan-
ders in this dispute, but they are
interested bystanders. The Que-
bec government has already crit-
icized Ottawa for interfering in
B.C.’s jurisdiction, and it’s hard to
believe the Liberals’ uncompro-

J the Trans Mountain pipeline

issue will decide the fate of his
government. Nothing else is this
important − not deficits-for-in-
frastructure, not legalizing can-
nabis, not the refugee situation,
not even trade and NAFTA.
If Trans Mountain pipeline ex-
pansion is under construction 18
months from now, Mr. Trudeau is
likely to win the October, 2019,
election. If the project is frustrat-
ed by legal and illegal resistance,
he is likely to lose.
Federal governments are ex-
pected to manage the national

fits, with revenues remaining in
the province.
But the Liberals are also com-
mitted to protecting the Alberta
economy and so, in exchange for
the carbon tax, Ottawa is backing
the Trans Mountain expansion,
which by twinning an existing
line will greatly increase the
amount of bitumen Alberta can
sell to the world.
Saskatchewan opposes the car-
bon tax, and Ontario and Alberta
may as well, depending on the
outcome of provincial elections.
But the biggest challenge to the
Grand Bargain comes from Brit-
this Prime Minister is protecting
the rights of Albertans to extract
and profit from their oil, the very
opposite of Pierre Trudeau’s Na-
tional Energy Program.
But the Liberal Grand Bargain
may fail. Apart from the challeng-
es to the carbon tax, the govern-
ment faces substantial head-
winds in completing the pipeline.
For one thing, Kinder Morgan,
which owns it, might find the
guarantees insufficient.
Even if Kinder Morgan does
agree to go ahead, B.C. Premier
John Horgan is offering a legal
challenge to the federal govern-
benefit from the expansion.
But other First Nations are ada-
mantly opposed, fearing an oil
spill that could contaminate Brit-
ish Columbia’s lands and waters.
And they are joined by environ-
mentalists who are willing to en-
gage in civil disobedience to
block construction.
Will the B.C. government crim-
inally charge those who have al-
ready been arrested for blocking
the pipeline? It seems unlikely
that, in the long term, the Horgan
government will commit much
political capital to protecting a
pipeline it opposes.
mising defence of pipelines will
win them many votes in Quebec.
But millions of middle-class
suburban voters in Ontario deter-
mine the outcome of elections.
How will they react? Will they
quietly applaud a Liberal govern-
ment that is going to the wall in
defence of Canada’s economic in-
terests? Or will they shake their
heads at Liberal mismanagement
of the pipeline issue?
The answer will lie in whether
Mr. Trudeau succeeds or fails in
getting the pipeline built. His po-
litical future hinges on that an-
swer.

Pipeline: B.C. could sue Alberta over new bill
FROM A1
The bill – likely to be passed in the
weeks ahead – received immedi-
ate pushback. B.C. Attorney-Gen-
eral David Eby said if his province
determines the bill is unconstitu-
tional, his government could sue
Alberta. “If there is anything in
this legislation that even suggests
the possibility of discrimination
against British Columbians, we
will take every step necessary to
protect the interests of British Co-
lumbians because it will be com-
pletely illegal,” he said.
Chris Bloomer, president and
chief executive of the Canadian
Energy Pipeline Association, said
“we are concerned that the mea-
sures being considered in Bill 12
could have longer-term, unin-
tended consequences for indus-
try and the public at large. We
hope that the measures will not
need to be implemented and that
we are able to find a prompt reso-
lution to the current impasse.”
Ottawa and Alberta see the
project to twin the existing Trans
Mountain pipeline to make room
for more diluted bitumen as key
to reaching new overseas mar-
kets, but environmentalists and
some First Nations view it as an
unacceptable increase in the risk
of oil spills. The Alberta bill comes
one day after Prime Minister Jus-
tin Trudeau interrupted an inter-
national trip to meet with Ms. Not-
ley and British Columbia Premier
John Horgan – with Ottawa prom-
ising to give financial backing to
the project and to introduce legis-
lation to ensure it is completed.
The Alberta government first
floated the idea of restrictions on
oil shipments last month in its
Throne Speech as a means to push
back against “extreme and illegal
actions on the part of the B.C. gov-
ernment” in efforts to block the
expansion. But on Monday, Ms.
Notley tried to frame her govern-
ment’s bill as about giving Alberta
more strategic control over the
shipping of its resources to maxi-
mize profits. She said her prov-
ince is rapidly running out of
pipeline space to ship its heavy
oil.
She said under the legislation,
the province might determine at
one point that pipelines do not
have enough capacity for bitu-
men, and therefore more of the
80,000 barrels of refined fuels
that go to B.C. every day will need
to be shipped by rail. According to
the National Energy Board, most
of the gasoline consumed in B.C.
comes from Alberta, delivered
primarily via Trans Mountain.
“And it is true that it going on
rail may inadvertently impact the
price that people pay for it on the
other end of the train track,” Ms.
Notley told reporters.
Kinder Morgan suspended all
“non-essential” spending on
Trans Mountain a week ago. On
Monday, Ms. Notley said if on May
31 her province is seeing signifi-
cant investor uncertainty about
the prospects of increased pipe-
line capacity being built, “then
that might be the point at which
we’re going to have to be a lot
more strategic around what prod-
ucts get shipped to what markets,
by what means.”
The new bill would give the
province authority to require that
companies exporting energy
products from Alberta get a li-
cence – including for products
such as crude oil and refined fuels,
such as gasoline, diesel and jet
fuel − which previously were not
needed. The province’s Energy
Minister could set parameters for
how products are transported, be
it by pipeline, rail or truck. The
province will also be able to take
other, broader actions such as set-
ting maximum daily quantities of
products that can exported.
Fines for companies in breach
of the orders will go to as high as
$10-million a day – and for indi-
viduals, up to $1-million a day. The
issue of compensation for energy,
pipeline or other companies that
could lose revenues as a result of
the legislation is not addressed in
the bill, provincial officials said.
Ms. Notley has said in the past
there might be short-term pain
for the industry, but insisted on
Monday there will be no surprises
for energy companies.
But the threat to throttle the
province’s energy shipments
could stoke more uncertainty in
an industry already struggling
with choppy prices and investor
apathy. Companies that ship oil
and other products on Trans
Mountain today include some of
the world’s largest energy groups,
such as BP PLC and PetroChina
Co. Ltd. Oil-sands giants Suncor
Energy Inc. and Imperial Oil Ltd.
also deliver gasoline and diesel on
the line from big refineries in the
Edmonton region.
The Alberta legislation could
be followed quickly by similar ac-
tion in neighbouring Saskatche-
wan. Late Monday, Premier Scott
Moe told reporters his govern-
ment will, within days, introduce
a bill that will restrict oil ship-
ments to B.C.
“We’d like to pass it as quickly
as possible so that in the event
that Alberta moves on their legis-
lation, and does turn off the taps –
if you will – to British Columbia,”
Mr. Moe said. “The province of
Saskatchewan would be the next
logical place for B.C. to look for
fuel products.” Mr. Moe said Sas-
katchewan hopes the legislation
never has to be used.
On Monday, a spokeswoman
for Kinder Morgan Canada had no
comment, even though the legis-
lation could directly affect the
company’s biggest asset and a
major source of revenue. Howev-
er, company president Ian Ander-
son said earlier this year “it’s not
feasible” for Alberta to curtail
shipments of energy products on
its existing pipeline to the West
Coast.
The Alberta Premier said Sec-
tion 92 of Canada’s constitution
allows the province to regulate
exports. Ms. Notley acknowledges
the legislation is likely to attract a
legal challenge but will withstand
objections.
But Mr. Eby said the B.C. gov-
ernment will be assessing the bill
carefully to ensure it is not de-
signed to punish British Colum-
bians. “The constitution forbids
discrimination around energy,
between provinces,” he said in
Victoria.
Several First Nations chal-
lenged Ottawa’s approval of the
project in federal court, and a de-
cision on whether the Liberal gov-
ernment met its constitutional
obligations is expected soon.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip,
president of the Union of BC Indi-
an Chiefs, saisd the Alberta legis-
lation would not deter protesters
in opposing the expansion of the
Trans Mountain pipeline.
Mr. Phillip described the legis-
lation as an “absolute act of des-
peration” by the Alberta govern-
ment.

owning the piece.
“The National Gallery has the most comprehensive collec-
tion of French art in Canada with major works from the 17th,
18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries; a glaring exception is an im-
portant picture by David, a key figure in French art,” Marc
Mayer, director of the National Gallery, said in a statement on
Monday.
“Acquiring the Saint Jerome painting would enhance our
collection in very important ways.”
The National Gallery said the French neoclassical painting
would have drained its annual $8-million acquisition budget
and it could not find support from its network of private do-
nors. The gallery said it learned in 2017 that the church had
approached two foreign museums about buying the David,
and that one expressed interest and “had the funds“ to buy it.
The National Gallery said its board decided to sell a valua-
ble painting to raise the funds for Saint Jerome, which the gal-
lery considered to be of greater significance to its collection.
The process of a museum getting rid of a piece is known as
deaccessioning.
In December of 2017, the board of trustees voted to sell Cha-
gall’s 1929 canvas The Eiffel Tower. The National Gallery says it
offered the piece at fair market value to more than 150 domes-
tic art museums, before going to Christie’s auction house for a
sale on the international market.
Christie’s estimates the painting will fetch between US$6-
million and US$9-million at an auction in New York on May 15.
The Quebec and Montreal galleries are currently raising
money for a joint bid to buy the David painting. They have un-
til mid-June to match an offer made by the National Gallery
that is conditional on selling the Chagall.
“Our goal is to maintain the Saint Jerome in Quebec and
thus to keep the links with the community where the artwork
was known to the public,” said Agnès Dufour, a spokeswoman
for the Musée de la civilisation.
The Musée and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts said they
are also open to working together with the National Gallery
on a “common” solution.
The sale of the Chagall painting, one of only two in the Na-
tional Gallery’s collections, drew fierce debate from the arts
community when it became public earlier this month.
Gail Lord, a Toronto-based international museum consult-
ant, said it was inappropriate for the National Gallery to sell
such a valuable part of its collection.
“It’s treading a very fine line on the policy of deaccession-
ing,” Ms. Lord said. “Museums are specifically not in the busi-
ness of selling in order to buy and buying in order to sell.
That’s what a commercial dealer is doing.”
The National Gallery said it will proceed with the sale of the
Chagall – which has already left the country under an export
permit – even if the David gets snapped up in the meantime.
“The proceeds from the sale will be used to improve the na-
tional collection and, especially, to strengthen Canada’s abil-
ity to protect its patrimony from exportation, a challenge it
will surely face again,” Mr. Mayer said in a statement.

Gerald Stanley pleads
guilty to firearm charge
NORTH BATTLEFORD, SASK.
A Saskatchewan farmer acquitted in the fatal shooting of a
young Indigenous man is giving up his guns and has been
ordered to pay a $3,000 fine after pleading guilty to unsafe
storage of an unrestricted firearm.
Gerald Stanley pleaded guilty on Monday in North Battle-
ford provincial court to the charge that involved six rifles and
shotguns. The Crown said none of them had trigger locks.
The Crown dropped a second count of unsafe storage of a
restricted handgun.
Mr. Stanley was acquitted in the death of 22-year-old Col-
ten Boushie, who was shot and killed on Mr. Stanley’s farm in
August, 2016.
With members and supporters of the Boushie family look-
ing on, the judge accepted a joint recommendation for the
fine and a 10-year ban on possessing a firearm. Mr. Stanley is
also forfeiting all of his guns, which the defence said are pret-
ty common in many rural homes.
Family and supporters of the Boushie family shouted
“murderer” as Mr. Stanley walked into the courthouse to en-
ter a plea.
Mr. Boushie’s brother, Jace Baptiste, said on Monday it
hurt to see Mr. Stanley walking freely into court.

Bronco remembered as ‘one of a kind’
About 3,000 people
attended the funeral
service in Saskatoon
for Humboldt player
RYAN MCKENNA SASKATOON
Evan Thomas ate Froot Loops for
breakfast, went to the rink for a
skate, then had a nap before
boarding the Humboldt Broncos
bus for a playoff game.
During the April 6 highway
drive to Nipawin, Sask., the 18-
year-old exchanged messages on
Snapchat with friends.
The messages stopped about 5
p.m.
Scott Thomas recounted his
son’s last moments at a memo-
rial service on Monday in the
family’s hometown of Saskatoon.
“His friend and teammate
Brayden Camrud has told us one
of the last things he remembers is
looking at the front of the bus,
seeing Evan pull his dress shirt
on, tie on, flip his fingers through
his hair and the lights went out,”
Thomas said.
He told the crowd that his son
died of multiple skull fractures.
“We’ve been told that he died
instantly. He did not suffer. There
is some peace in that.”
Evan Thomas was one of 16
killed when the bus and a semi
truck hauling peat moss collided
at a rural intersection north of
Tisdale. Thirteen others were in-
jured, including Camrud, and
several remain in hospital.
Thomas said that his son’s cell-
phone was recovered after the
crash and there wasn’t a scratch
on it. And his body, except for his
head, was in near perfect condi-
tion.
“My opinion is it was because
Evan was standing – simply
standing, putting his suit on. He
was struck by the upper cabinets
of the bus and killed instantly,”
he said.
Andrea Constand denies framing
Cosby, knowing key witness in trial
MICHAEL R. SISAK
NORRISTOWN, PA.
Bill Cosby’s chief accuser at his
sexual-assault trial on Monday
denied framing him and said she
doesn’t know a key witness who
plans to testify she spoke of levell-
ing false accusations against a ce-
lebrity.
Canadian Andrea Constand
told jurors she doesn’t “recall ever
having a conversation with” Mar-
guerite Jackson. Both women
worked at Temple University
around the time Ms. Constand
says Mr. Cosby drugged and mo-
lested her at the comedian’s sub-
urban Philadelphia home in
2004.
The defence plans to call Ms.
Jackson as a witness and says she
will testify that before Ms. Con-
stand lodged her allegations
against Mr. Cosby in 2005, Ms.
Constand had mused to her about
setting up a “high-profile person”
and filing suit. Ms. Jackson has
said that she and Ms. Constand
worked closely together, had
been friends and had shared hotel
rooms several times.
A judge blocked Ms. Jackson
from testifying at last year’s trial,
which ended in a hung jury, after
Ms. Constand took the stand and
denied knowing her. At the time,
Justice Steven O’Neill ruled Ms.
Jackson’s testimony would be
hearsay. Since then, prosecutors
have told Mr. Cosby’s lawyers that
Ms. Constand had modified her
statement to acknowledge she
“recalls a Margo.”
The judge has ruled that Ms.
Jackson can take the stand at the
retrial, but indicated he could re-
visit the issue after Ms. Constand
was finished testifying.
Ms. Jackson’s availability as a
witness for Mr. Cosby could be
crucial to a defence plan to attack
Ms. Constand’s credibility and get
jurors to believe she set Mr. Cosby
up. Cosby lawyer Tom Mesereau,
who has called Ms. Constand a
“con artist” who framed Mr. Cos-
by and then collected a US$3.4-
million settlement, asked her
about Ms. Jackson during cross-
examination on Monday. She
again denied knowing her.
The defence lawyer then asked,
“Did you ever fabricate a scheme
to falsely accuse him for money?”
“No, sir,” Ms. Constand replied.
Ms. Constand, a 45-year-old To-
ronto native, left the witness
stand on Monday after testifying
for seven hours over two days.
She told jurors last week that

Ethics committee urged
to broaden privacy study
BILL CURRY
PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER
OTTAWA
Members of Parliament are facing pressure to expand the
scope of a Facebook study to include a closer look at Google,
which collects massive amounts of data on individuals and is
a vital link between businesses and their customers.
On Tuesday, a House of Commons committee will launch a
two-week review of the misuse of Facebook data, and MPs say
they will then determine whether a broader study of internet
privacy is required.
“If there’s a need to go beyond that based on the evidence
that we hear, then we’ll go beyond that,” Liberal MP and com-
mittee vice-chair Nathaniel Erskine-Smith said. “The idea
right now is to focus on the specific issue as much as possible.”
Federal Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien will be the
committee’s first witness. On Thursday, MPs will hear directly
from Facebook Canada’s head of public policy, Kevin Chan,
and the company’s California-based deputy chief privacy offi-
cer, Robert Sherman, will appear via a video link.
Sydney Eatz, who voluntarily photographs and reviews
businesses for Google’s official “Local Guides” program, has
warned in a brief to the committee that the internet giant is
not doing enough to police malicious edits to web addresses,
locations and phone numbers on Google Maps. Such edits
could give potential customers an incorrect phone number
for a company or say it has closed.
She said this is an escalating is-
sue that is creating major head-
aches for businesses and can put
government services at risk. This is about to

Google spokesperson Alexandra Hunnings Klein said busi-
nesses should use the company’s “Google My Business” pro-
gram, an online listing that appears prominently in a web
search, to ensure accuracy.
“We use manual and automated systems to detect for spam
and fraud, but we tend not to share details behind our processes
so as not to tip off spammers or others with bad intent,” she said.
The committee, which examines issues involving access to
information, privacy and ethics, approved a motion propos-
ing the study late last month, after reports that a research firm
called Cambridge Analytica improperly obtained the Face-
book data of millions of people, including more than 600,000
Canadians. The stories quoted Christopher Wylie, a Canadian
data specialist who had worked in a senior role at Cambridge
Analytica.
The motion states that, in light of those reports, the MPs
will study the privacy implications of platform monopolies –
listing Facebook, Google and Amazon – “and possible nation-
al and international regulatory and legislative remedies to as-
sure the privacy of citizens’ data and the integrity of demo-
cratic and electoral processes around the globe.”
In interviews, committee members said the goal is to have
four meetings over the next two weeks focused primarily on
Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. After that, the MPs will
discuss whether to launch a broader study. The committee
has invited Mr. Wylie, representatives of Google and others to
appear, but has not announced the full list. Ms. Hunnings
Klein told The Globe the company will send someone.

Kendrick Lamar wins the Pulitzer Prize for music

Rapper is the first
non-classical or jazz
artist to win the award
BRAD WHEELER
Kendrick Lamar has been award-
ed the Pulitzer Prize for music,
the first pop artist to win the au-
gust honour. Mr. Lamar won for
his 2017 album DAMN, an elo-
quent, artful and fiercely soulful
album of hip hop and modern
R&B.
With its 2018 prize, Pulitzer is
telling the rest of world what
many already know to be true:
That Mr. Lamar, at 30 years old, is
the greatest rapper alive, with a
lyrical wizardry that is at turns
poignant and knife-blade sharp –
always fearless and often socially
relevant.
Moreover, in honouring Mr.
Lamar, the first non-classical or
jazz artist to win the award, Pu-
litzer places hip hop on par with
works by the greatest composers
of the world. The other finalists
for the prize were Quartet, by Mi-
chael Gilbertson and Sound from
the Bench, by Ted Hearne.
The win for Mr. Lamar, an-
video involved two black men
getting arrested for being black
in a Starbucks coffee shop in Phi-
ladelphia.
In giving its prize, the Pulitzer
jury praised DAMN – which was
nominated but did not win the
best-album Grammy earlier this
year – as a “virtuosic song collec-
tion unified by its vernacular au-
thenticity and rhythmic dyna-
mism that offers affecting vi-
gnettes capturing the complexity
of modern African-American
life.”
Granted, that is not the snaz-
ziest pop review ever written.
Better is Pitchfork’s assessment,
in which Matthew Trammell
wrote that DAMN was a “wide-
screen masterpiece of rap, full of
expensive beats, furious rhymes,
and peerless storytelling about
Kendrick’s destiny in America.”

Supreme Court to hear arguments on Bissonnette: Suspect says

constitutionality of victim surcharge
SEAN FINE
JUSTICE WRITER
A rare judicial rebellion against a
criminal law passed by Parlia-
ment will receive unusual back-
ing at the Supreme Court this
week − from the prosecution.
The question for the court is
whether the “victim surcharge,” a
mandatory financial penalty for
convicted offenders, is an uncon-
stitutional form of cruel and un-
usual punishment against the
poor.
The surcharge is $100 for each
minor offence, and $200 for each
serious one; for multiple offenc-
es, the penalty can amount to
hundreds of dollars. The Conser-
vative government of Stephen
Harper made the charge manda-
tory in late 2013. The money is
supposed to go to victim services,
and is aimed at holding offenders
accountable, the government
said.
A group of offenders is chal-
lenging the law.
Denied the discretion to waive
the penalty for impoverished of-
fenders such as a homeless Otta-
wa man with a monthly income
of $250, judges refused to impose
it as written. One judge said it was
“embarrassing” to be part of a
system with such laws.
Some judges gave offenders 25,
50, even 99 years to pay. The law
allows judges to use a fine as an
alternative to the fixed penalties,
and some have given fines as low
as $1, which would include a sur-
charge of 30 cents.
In two days of hearings at the
Supreme Court beginning on
Tuesday, the Ontario Attorney-
General’s department, which
prosecuted some of the cases,
will argue that the availability of
those methods to evade the sur-
charge demonstrates why the law
should be upheld: Because the
judges retain their discretion to
fit the penalties to the offender.
“A lengthy extension – years or
even decades where reasonable
on the facts – can be given to ac-
count for the actual anticipated
income and expenses of an of-
fender,” the province says in a fil-
ing at the Supreme Court.
As for the minuscule fines, it
said judges cannot set out to
“neutralize the surcharge.” But
“that said, in a case where a small
fine that the offender can afford
is fit, having regard to relevant
principles of sentencing, the sur-
charge would be 30 per cent of
that fine.”
A lawyer for some of the of-
fenders, however, argues that the
judges’ evasive tactics show why
the law should be struck down as
unconstitutional.
“It’s not appropriate to have to
do an end-run around the law to
avoid unconstitutional conse-
quences,” Delmar Doucette said
in an interview. At the Supreme
Court, he will represent four con-
victed offenders ordered to pay
surcharges of hundreds of dol-
lars.
“The law is requiring trial judg-
es to do something that they
know is unjust, and they bristle at
that. They should have the dis-
cretion to do what is just.”
The surcharge was a central
part of the former Conservative
government’s plan to rebalance
the justice system in favour of
victims. A surcharge created in
1989 had allowed judges to ex-
empt the poor. Last month, the
Liberal government introduced a
bill that would restore that dis-
cretion. However, a similar law
the Liberals introduced earlier
was not passed.
Mr. Doucette and intervenors
that include the Criminal Law-
yers’ Association and Aboriginal
Legal Services of Toronto, argue
in written briefs that the sur-
charge does not help victims or
hold offenders accountable be-
cause some people cannot pay.
Some offenders are jailed be-
cause they cannot pay, which the
Supreme Court has said should
not be allowed. The Indigenous
services group says the surcharge
violates the equality rights pro-
tected by the Charter because it
disproportionately affects im-
poverished Indigenous people.
The hearings at the Supreme
Court involve four offenders
from Ontario and one from Que-
bec. In separate challenges in the
appeal courts of Quebec and On-
tario, all said the surcharge is un-
constitutional, either because it
is cruel and unusual punishment
or a violation of their right to lib-
erty and security of the person.
Both courts of appeal upheld the
constitutionality of the law, es-
sentially because those subject to
it may apply for extensions.
In a chart of 24 surcharge cases
Mr. Doucette and his co-counsel
Daniel Santoro have put together
for the Supreme Court, 12 of the
offenders have mental illness, six
are Aboriginal, five suffered ne-
glect and serious abuse as chil-
dren, 18 have addictions and sev-
en are homeless. Their income
ranges from $100 to $1,200 a
month.
Whether the case settles the
question of the judges contin-
uing to evade the law as written
will depend on how the Supreme
Court writes its ruling. But judges
have not been punished for re-
belling. Two lower-court judges
who wrote detailed rulings, one
striking the law down and the
other setting out why $5 fines
make sense, have been promoted
by the Liberal government to the
top courts of Ontario and Que-
bec.

FROM A1
The contents of Mr. Bissonnette’s laptop, analyzed by an
RCMP officer, were presented by the Crown as the court
weighs when, if ever, the killer would be eligible for parole.
The analysis reveals a man dwelling compulsively on
themes of weapons and mass shootings. Notorious killers ap-
pear on his online history hundreds of times, including
searches on Justin Bourque, who killed three Mounties in
Moncton, and Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who
slaughtered nine black worshippers at a church in Charles-
ton, S.C., in 2015.
He also did searches related to Marc Lépine, who shot and
killed 14 women at a Montreal engineering school in 1989.
Police delving Mr. Bissonnette’s online activity found
searches on two women’s groups at Laval University, where
Mr. Bissonnette had been a student. The groups are Fémi-
nistes en Mouvement de l’Université Laval and Comité Femmes de
l’Université Laval.
There were other surprising
disclosures on Monday, as Mr. Bis-
sonnette’s sentencing hearing en-
tered its second week. In contrast Mr. Bissonnette’s

thing,” he confided to the social
worker, Guylaine Cayouette. He said that he heard people in
the mosque shouting “Allah” as he unloaded his pistol, and
he remembered shooting a victim in the head.
He recalled how a man, presumably Azzeddine Soufiane,
grabbed his arm to try to stop him. He killed him.
“I regret not having killed more people. The victims are in
heaven, and I’m living through hell,” he said to the social
worker.
He told Ms. Cayouette that he had idolized mass killers
since adolescence, and had wanted to carry out a shocking
gesture himself. Ms. Cayouette described Mr. Bissonnette as
calm, coherent and articulate during the exchange.
Mr. Bissonnette’s father, for his part, couldn’t believe his
son was a suspect in the shooting and believed there had
been a misunderstanding. In an interview with police the day
after the Jan. 29 attack, Raymond Bissonnette said his son
had behaved normally the day of the crime.
Asked about whether his son had a girlfriend, Mr. Bisson-
nette replied that he didn’t, and this was tough for his son. He
had trouble meeting women and suffered from “lack of self-
esteem,” his father said.
The day ended, however, with Mr. Derbali, the first person
to deliver a victim-impact statement to the court. He was
shot at the mosque as he deliberately stood in the line of fire
to distract Mr. Bissonnette, actions that Superior Court Jus-
tice François Huot described from the bench as an “incred-
ible demonstration of courage.”
Crown prosecutor Thomas Jacques said that in video tak-

TU THANH HA
JUSTIN LING
Kirushna Kumar Kanagaratnam, the latest
man named as a victim of alleged serial
killer Bruce McArthur, came to Toronto as
a refugee claimant and, after his bid to re-
main in Canada was rejected, his family in
Sri Lanka thought that he might have gone
into hiding.
Instead, a few days ago, just during the
celebrations of the Tamil New Year, his rel-
atives got the news that Mr. Kanagaratnam
was the eighth man to be named as a mur-
der victim of Mr. McArthur.
“During this auspicious time of New
Year, if this sad news makes you feel bad,
please forgive me,” Mr. Kanagaratnam’s
uncle, Haran Thanigai, wrote on Facebook
Saturday.
In recent years, the family had turned to
Facebook in an attempt to re-establish
contact with Mr. Kanagaratnam. In their
posts, they said they lost contact with him
during a period when he tried unsuccess-
fully to get permanent asylum in Canada.
Eventually, on Dec. 9 of last year, one of
Mr. Kanagaratnam’s brothers, Kiso Kumar,
wrote a public appeal for help on Facebook
because the family had failed to locate him
after a year.
A month later, Toronto police an-
nounced that they had arrested Mr. McAr-
thur, a 66-year-old landscaper. He was
charged with the first-degree murders of
seven men with connections to the city’s
Gay Village. Investigators made the excep-
tional decision to release the photo be-
lieved to have been taken after the death of
another man.
Last Thursday, police were able to iden-
tify the man in the photo: Mr. Kanagarat-
nam. The family was notified during the
weekend and, by Monday morning, Mr.
McArthur was charged with an eighth
count of first-degree murder.
Police say Mr. Kanagaratnam was killed
some time between Sept. 3 and Dec. 14 of
2015.
According to a death notice published
in a Tamil newspaper and posted by rela-
tives on Saturday, Mr. Kanagaratnam was

The families of Canadian diplo-

Eight men go on trial in India for rape, murder of young girl
FAYAZ BUKHARI SRINAGAR, INDIA
Eight men accused of involve-
ment in the rape and murder of
an eight-year-old Muslim girl in
India’s Jammu and Kashmir state
appeared in court on Monday for
the first hearing in a case that
sparked nationwide outrage and
criticism of the ruling party.
The girl, from a nomadic com-
munity that roams the forests of
Kashmir, was drugged, held cap-
tive in a temple and sexually as-
saulted for a week before being
strangled and battered to death
with a stone in January, police
said.
Public anger at the crime led to
protests in cities across India over
the past few days, with outrage
fuelled by support for the ac-
cused initially shown by state
government ministers from
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The protests have also focused
on another rape allegedly involv-
ing a BJP lawmaker in the crime-
ridden, most populous, poor
northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
The outrage has drawn paral-
lels with massive protests that
followed the gang rape and mur-
der of a woman on a Delhi bus in
2012, which forced the then Con-
gress-led government to enact
tough new rape laws including
the death penalty.
Yet India has long been
plagued by violence against
women and children – reported
rapes climbed 60 per cent from
2012 to 40,000 in 2016, and many
more go unreported, especially in
rural areas.
Reports of torture, rape and
murder of another child have
emerged from Mr. Modi’s western
home state of Gujarat.

tential for real or perceived im-

cording to a statement from the
BC Prosecution Service (BCPS).
The BCPS also announced on
Monday that criminal – not civil –
proceedings are warranted for
those who were arrested at Kinder
Morgan’s Burnaby facilities in
breach of a court injunction. B.C.
Supreme Court Justice Kenneth
Affleck had said one week earlier
that he is of the view that the pub-
lic nature of the breaches warrant-
ed criminal sanctions.
As well, the BCPS will take over
the prosecution from Trans
Mountain lawyers. Justice Affleck
had said a private litigant should
not shoulder responsibility for
the prosecution.
The proceedings against Ms.
May and Mr. Stewart have been
adjourned for two weeks. Trials
for dozens of other protesters ar-
rested in recent weeks will begin

In that case, the corpse of a girl
was found near a cricket ground
in the city of Surat a week ago.
The postmortem showed she
had been tortured and sexually
assaulted before being strangled.
The body had 86 injury marks, in-
cluding some inflicted to her gen-
italia with hard, blunt objects,
while more minor injuries sug-
gest she had been beaten with a
stick or slapped.
Doctors estimate that the uni-
dentified girl was about 12, police
said.
As the groundswell of revul-
sion grew, Mr. Modi assured the
country on Friday that the guilty
would not be shielded, but he has
been criticized for failing to speak
out sooner.

Mr. Stewart, who appeared in
court on Monday alongside 18 oth-
ers who had been arrested, said he
had reviewed the possibilities and
is prepared for what may happen.
Ms. May was in Ottawa and had
her lawyer attend on her behalf.
“I’m here today respecting the
process and I will continue to be,”
Mr. Stewart said. “And I’ll go back
to parliament tomorrow to make
my political case for why this
pipeline is not a good idea.”
Nearly 170 people have been ar-
rested since mid-March during
protests at Kinder Morgan’s Bur-
naby Mountain facilities. Of
those, 124 people have either been
served personally with contempt
motions or received materials
and been in contact. As of Mon-

its weak response.
“The bestiality and the barbar-
ity involved in the rape and mur-
der of an eight-year-old child

mer officials said.

On April 8, Kinder Morgan an-
nounced it would suspend all
non-essential activities and relat-
ed spending on the project, with
chairman and chief executive of-
ficer Steve Kean saying the com-
pany “cannot litigate its way to an
in-service pipeline amidst juris-
dictional differences between
governments.”
The pipeline company said it
would consult with stakeholders
in an effort to reach agreements
by May 31that could allow the pro-
ject to still go ahead.
Before entering the courtroom
on Monday, Mr. Stewart noted
that the National Energy Board

meeting the rule of law,” he said.
Ms. May did not comment on
her own case but spoke generally
on Prime Minister Justin Tru-
deau’s pledge that he would intro-
duce “legislative and financial
measures” to push the project for-
ward.
“If Trudeau’s Liberals want to
bring in legislation to confirm the
status quo, which is to say there is
federal jurisdiction over interpro-
vincial pipelines, fine. It accom-
plishes nothing,” Ms. May told re-
porters in Ottawa on Monday.
“It does not for one minute
take away the other reality: There
are constitutionally enshrined
rights of Indigenous peoples in
this country. They are embedded
in the constitution. No legislation
can say that federal jurisdiction
over interprovincial pipelines is
paramount to the extent that it
dissolves the rights of Indigenous
peoples.”
On Monday, Mr. Gandhi tweet-
ed there had been nearly 20,000
child rapes in India in 2016, and
urged Mr. Modi to fast-track pros-
ecutions “if he is serious about
providing ‘justice for our daugh-
ters,’ ”
Although the rape and killing
of the girl in Kashmir had been
known about for months, the
backlash erupted after the charge
sheet giving gruesome details of
the crime was filed last week.
It alleged that the attack was
part of a plan to drive the nomads
out of Kathua district in Jammu,
the mostly Hindu portion of In-
dia’s only Muslim-majority state.
The alleged ringleader of the
campaign, retired bureaucrat
Sanji Ram, looked after a small
Hindu temple where the girl had
been held and assaulted. Two of
the eight on trial are police offi-
cers who stand accused of being
bribed to stifle the investigation.
After Monday’s initial hearing
in Srinagar, the judge adjourned
the case until April 28 while the
Supreme Court heard a petition
from the lawyer representing the
victim’s family to have the trial
held elsewhere owing to fears for
her safety.
Ahead of the trial, the lawyer
said she had been threatened
with rape and death for taking up
the case. “I was threatened yes-
terday that ‘we will not forgive
you.’ I am going to tell Supreme
Court that I am in danger,” said
the lawyer, Deepika Singh Rawat,
who has fought for a proper in-
vestigation since the girl’s body
was found in January.
The Supreme Court also or-
dered security for the victim’s
family after her father said he,
too, feared for their safety.

Calgary City Council votes to continue Olympic bid

Organizers have
estimated the process
will cost $4.6-billion
and run a deficit

ALLAN MAKI CALGARY

Calgary City Council voted on

Monday to keep a potential Olym-
pic bid alive as the city prepares
for a fall plebiscite on the issue.
Two council votes kept alive
the city’s bid for the 2026 Winter
Olympics and Paralympics, which
bid organizers have estimated
will cost $4.6-billion and run a
deficit, while forming a commit-
tee to give councillors a direct role
overseeing the process.
The city plans to hold a plebi-
scite sometime between October
and January to gauge public sup-
port for the Games.
Had Monday’s votes failed, Cal-
gary’s pursuit would have ended.
Instead, many on council argued
more transparency and public ac-
ceptance was needed before a fi-
nal vote can be held.

Q launch officially for another five months, but last

week provided a glimpse of the terrain on which it
will be fought.
It is murky and ugly. With polls suggesting the right-of-
centre Coalition Avenir Québec’s lead has narrowed, both the
CAQ and the sovereigntist Parti Québécois are once again a-
froth about identity.
The latest manufactured outrage centres on Sondos Lam-
rhari, a 17-year-old Montreal-born student who wants to be a
police officer when she graduates, and who happens to wear
a hijab. She appears to be the only such student in Quebec
but hey, there are political points to be scored.
PQ MNA Agnès Maltais coyly imagined a scenario where a
Muslim woman calls police to report a beating after refusing
to wear her hijab, and opens the door to find an officer wear-
ing one. Her dog-whistle hypothetical relied entirely on de-
meaning and false stereotypes about Muslim men.
Not to be outdone, the CAQ’s Nathalie Roy intoned “a pa-
trol car is not a place of worship.” Someone should inform
Ms. Roy that in 1996 multiple courts upheld a federal govern-
ment decision allowing Sikh RCMP officers to wear turbans.
Several Canadian police services now also permit hijabs, as
do dozens in the United States, Scotland and Australia.

TOUCHING TRIBUTES
When I turned to the two-page
spread on the Humbolt story, I
didn’t want to read it all over
again, but I’m glad I did (Healing
Humboldt, April 14).
I must admit, in my 63 years on
this planet, I’ve never cried while
reading the paper. But when it
came to the therapy dogs in the
emergency room, something just
let go. At that moment, I think all
of us with children (or not) could
see ourselves in that position, and
feel the emotion of the crippled
parents, and anyone whose lives
have been suddenly changed in
the blink of an eye.

more quickly than the oil.
The ultimate decisions on natu-
ral-resource projects, however,
ought to derive from facts. As an
economist studying income in-
equality over the past 15 years, I
can offer a key fact to the debate.
In my view, nothing has contrib-
uted more than natural re-
sources to buttressing the Cana-
dian middle class against the rap-
idly changing global economy of
the 21st century.
The importance of resources
to middle-class incomes is most
clearly seen by looking at a sim-
ple measure: the earnings of the
middle worker in the economy
(the median). Between 2000 and
2015, Canadian median earnings
rose by just 6 per cent after in-
flation, or less than half a per
cent a year. However, under-
neath this national number lie
that left the country grief-strick-
en.
The junior hockey player was
hailed as a hero.
He has also inspired action. In
the past 10 days, thousands upon
thousands of Canadians have
registered as organ donors.
The uptick has been greatest
in Saskatchewan (the site of the
crash) and Alberta (Mr. Boulet
was a native of Lethbridge), and
the influx of new donors has
been especially strong among
young people aged 16 to 24 (the
age group of most of those who
died in the crash).
The challenge now is to keep
that momentum going. Canada
has a pretty dismal rate of organ
donation and, as a result, long
wait lists for transplants.
Polls consistently show that
close to 90 per cent of Canadians
support organ donation but only
about 20 per cent have actually
registered as organ donors.
Why is there such a disconnect
between intentions and action?
There are many potential rea-
sons – or perhaps excuses is the
more appropriate term.
We tend to be a bit squeamish
A lot of Ontarians figured that Doug Ford’s PC Party leadership victory would be a disaster for the party’s
chances – but it isn’t turning out that way. CHRIS YOUNG/THE CANADIAN PRESS
What Mr. Ford has going for
him is that the province is quite
messed up already. Cynics might
say it could scarcely get worse.
Fifteen years of Liberal rule have
given us sky-high hydro prices,
put-upon small businesses, ag-
grieved doctors and a steaming
pile of debt that’s costing tax-
payers a billion dollars a month
in interest. According to an
IPSOS poll released last week, 77
per cent of Ontarians want a
change. How bad is that? “About
vast differences across provinces.
While Alberta saw earnings
growth of 27 per cent and Sas-
katchewan topped 44 per cent,
Quebec only saw growth of 6 per
cent and Ontario suffered a loss
of 4 per cent. When researchers
have pushed beyond these basic
comparisons, the same essential
fact holds up: Without income
derived from the resource boom,
Canadian inequality and the
well-being of the Canadian mid-
dle class would be much worse
than we’ve experienced.
The impact of natural re-
sources is not just on those who
work directly for natural-re-
source companies. There are
large wage-spillovers to others
working in resource communi-
ties in construction, transporta-
tion and services.
Moreover, resource-derived
tax dollars fill up government
coffers to support strong com-
pensation in middle-class public
sector jobs in nursing, education
and transit. And what’s more,
these benefits don’t only help
provinces with plentiful re-
sources, since our equalization
formula uses the federal purse to
top up provinces without compa-
about death, even thinking
about it. There’s a generalized “it
won’t happen to me” attitude
that often leads to people not
bothering to register as donors.
The horrific Humboldt crash
shocked many out of that com-
placency.
There are about 280,000
deaths in Canada annually. A
2014 study found that there just
more than 3,000 potential do-
nors – only about 1 per cent of
deaths.
That makes it all the more im-
portant that everyone sign a do-
nor card – we can’t afford to miss
any potential donors, because
each one is an opportunity to
save lives.
Yet, miss them we do.
In 2016, the most recent year
for which detailed data are avail-
able, there were 758 deceased do-
nors. That’s not a great conver-
sion rate; three in four potential
donors are lost.
The main reason is because
people don’t register as donors.
While the rules are slightly differ-
ent in every province and territo-
ry, the process only takes about
three minutes. The Canadian
as bad as I’ve seen it,” tweeted
IPSOS chief executive of public
affairs Darrell Bricker.
Mr. Ford won the Progressive
Conservative leadership after the
previous leader, Patrick Brown,
was felled by rumours of a sex
scandal. Mr. Brown was not a
universal favourite. Still, a lot of
people figured that Mr. Ford’s
victory would be a disaster for
the party’s chances – the latest
instance of its uncanny ability to
snatch defeat from the jaws of
rable resource-revenue streams.
We also must count the Cana-
dians living in First Nations com-
munities near resource develop-
ments. In British Columbia since
2009, we have developed a sys-
tem of Economic and Communi-
ty Development Agreements
that share resource revenue with
nearby First Nations.
This structure allows the legal
certainty that resource compa-
nies need to proceed with long-
term investments and the shar-
ing of economic benefits that
First Nations deserve for the fu-
ture of their communities. This
kind of agreement is another
way natural-resource revenues
are dispersed across our econo-
my.
Around the world, the relent-
less pressures of technology are
hollowing out middle-class em-
ployment, leading to stagnating
middle-class incomes and exa-
cerbating social tensions. These
same pressures appear in Cana-
da, too, but resource develop-
ment has allowed the Canadian
middle class to push back on
these pressures better than al-
most any other advanced econo-
my on Earth.
Transplant Society has compiled
information from all the jurisdic-
tions on its website.
The laws in Canada are such
that next of kin can veto organ
donation, even for those who
have registered. That happens
surprisingly often: In about one
in five cases where family mem-
bers are approached, they refuse.
Making these decisions in a
time of grief is difficult. Mr. Bou-
let and his family had “the talk”
where he informed his parents of
his wishes, and they did him, and
the country, a great honour by
following through.
The public discussion of organ
donation that has resulted has
also revived the notion of pre-
sumed consent – assuming that
everyone will be an organ donor
unless they opt out.
Countries with presumed-con-
sent laws have higher transplant
rates, but they also have better
organized transplant systems.
This issue is not going to be
resolved by legislation alone; it’s
going to require culture change,
within hospitals and in society
more generally.
That change is happening. The
victory. But it isn’t turning out
that way. Right now, Mr. Ford is
cruising toward a majority. He
goes on all the talk shows, insults
the hosts (if he’s on the CBC) and
repeats his standard line about
the elites – people who “look
down on the common folk drink-
ing Champagne … with their
pinkies in the air. “ People eat it
up.
During the leadership cam-
paign, Mr. Ford drew wide con-
demnation from people who
The stakes we face are high. To
maintain public support for pro-
growth initiatives such as trade
agreements and for doing Cana-
da’s part in limiting climate
change, we need to ensure that
economic growth is felt by every-
body in society. Economic
growth that brings everyone
along gives all families a stake in
Canadian economic success. This
increased economic security en-
ergizes social forces that pull us
together.
The polarizing alternatives to
our social model can be seen in
other countries, and Canada
should fight hard to avoid that
fate. While other policy tools
such as progressive taxation or
the minimum wage can moder-
ate unequal incomes to some ex-
tent, the overall prosperity of the

There were 2,906 solid organs
transplanted in 2016 – 1,731 kid-

hearts and 92 pancreases – ac-

can also donate bones, tendons,

There were also 4,469 people
waiting for transplants – 3,421 for
kidneys, 433 for a liver, 261 for a
lung, 189 for a heart and 165 for a
pancreas.
Many of the kidney patients
require dialysis, which can mean

that.) The reason is because he

But the economics matter, too.
As Canadians contemplate the

to take full account of the conse-

sequence is less resource devel-

THEATRE REVIEW
obert Lepage’s visually en-
R ticing production of The
Nightingale and Other Short
Fables has returned to the Four
Seasons Centre for the first time
since 2009, boasting a unique
theatrical experience in its own
right and serving as a perfect foil
for its spring counterpart of the
Canadian Opera Company’s 2017-
18 season, Anna Bolena.
Packed into two acts, The
Nightingale is a collection of short
works by Igor Stravinsky, all writ-
ten between 1911-19. The produc-
tion is an ensemble piece in the
truest sense of the word; Singers,
orchestra, designers and puppe-
teers are all equal players and
Lepage finds ingenious ways of
letting the audience see both the
story being told and the moving
parts in place to tell it.
The evening is full of novelty.

moved up onstage and the or-
chestra pit is filled to the brim

comedian John Oliver. Oliver’s
style oscillates between self-dep-
recation and self-righteousness
and although one imagines his
audience is composed strictly of
people who already agree with
him, his rants are backed up by
meticulous research. His show is
frequently described as cathartic,
especially in Donald Trump’s
America. His episode on the vice-
president concluded with a de-
scription of the Pences’ coming
kids’ book – and then Oliver made
an announcement of his own.
“It turns out in a complete co-
incidence, we also wrote a book
about Mike Pence’s rabbit that has
also been published,” he said to
an audience that predictably
drowned him out in applause. He
held up a copy of A Day in The Life
of Marlon Bundo, which was writ-
ten by Emmy Award-winning
comedy writer (and Last Week To-
night staffer) Jill Twiss and illus-
trated by EG Keller (Chronicle
Books, 40 pp, $26.50).
In this parody version, Marlon
Bundo falls in love with another
boy rabbit, only to have a stink
bug that resembles the current
vice-president announce that
“boy bunnies can only marry girl
bunnies.” The stink bug is de-
scribed as “In Charge and Impor-
tant,” but the other animals de-
cide to challenge his authority
and vote him out.
On his show, Oliver announced
that the book would be available
for sale right away through Ama-

Pence’s book by half a day). It im-

although the significance of the ti-

American women) that was ques-

And just in time. In hindsight,
everything before the Nightin-

for the rich imagination in this
story. Minds are open to marvel
at the puppet fishermen and wa-
ter dragons floating across the or-
chestra pit – some of the more
memorable designs by Michael
Curry – and we feel free to treat
the puppeteers as organic exten-
sions of their puppet characters.
Our ears are ready for the sound

singing in this season’s Arabella
and The Abduction from the Sera-
glio, lends her agile voice to the
Nightingale itself.
There’s a neat paradox in The
Nightingale. It’s a busy sight, a gi-
ant machine of intricate details
that add up to something very
rare to see in live theatre. And, at
its most essential, the production
tells children’s stories with sim-
ple tools, such as light and voices.

is that, while an unabashed politi-
cal parody, it also stands on its
own as a children’s book. It would
have been easy for John Oliver’s
team to lean heavily on the gim-
mick of satirizing a loathed figure
in American politics, but they in-

charming story with genuinely

comes from a clear goal to visual-
ize that duality. “In a way,” Lep-
age writes, “I think it’s exactly
how, each time, we should go to
theatre: with the open mind of a
child.”
The COC’s coming production
of Anna Bolena, with star soprano
Sondra Radvanovsky in the title
role, is undoubtedly set to make a
strong case for the power of the
human voice. There is certainly
impressive singing to hear in The
Nightingale, but the production
makes perhaps a broader state-
ment, proving the power of live
theatre. The design and choreog-
raphy of the production are so ar-
resting because they are done
with simple tools and no video or
electronic element would be an
improvement. Against an intimi-
dating backdrop of sophisticated
visual effects in film and televi-
sion, it is important – and thrill-
ing – to finding evidence of live
theatre that is an irreplaceable
genre of its own.

OPINION

THE VOLCANO DAMAGE CONTROL

The question

I met my boyfriend 10 months ago and now we are

planning on getting married. Problem is, he got his
girlfriend before me pregnant. She is keeping the
baby. He told his mom about it but was scared to
tell me. However, I found out later myself through
WhatsApp on his phone. He truly does love me and
I know it. But now his mother has told me to stay
away from her son and that he already has some-
one he will marry. I called my boyfriend and told
him about this and he said, “I’ll handle it.” Please
help me. I am lost.

The answer

There are so many red flags here I can barely see

the (metaphorical) field.
Red flag #1: Him acting like getting his ex-girlf-
riend pregnant is no big deal and doesn’t really
have a lot to do with him, something that can be
quickly and easily handled.
I’ve said before I hate it when the verb “to father”
is used as a synonym for “to inseminate.”
As in: “Celebrity X fathered a child with his nan-
ny!”
Not yet he hasn’t. After Celebrity X changes a
thousand diapers; tries to spoon goo into the kid’s
screaming, tomato-red face; teaches the child to
ride a bike; rushes the kid to the hospital; spends
endless, sleepless nights worrying about its future –
then, maybe, just maybe, at his funeral, when the
sweet release of death has finally relieved him of
parental anxiety, can we say Celebrity X “fathered”
the child.
And, if he has a shred of decency and a moral
compass at all, your fiancé is on the hook to “fa-
ther” this child in similar fashion for the rest of his
life – at least part-time. It’ll be constant and never
stop. Can you handle that?
But for me, perhaps the biggest red flag is he
avoided telling you about it. That’s a pretty big mat-
zo ball to keep up his sleeve. “Oh, by the way, forgot
to mention, another woman is having my baby.”
If he could seriously attempt to keep that as a
secret, it doesn’t bode well for the future. What else
will he hide/lie about?
If you are truly soulmates, you should be trans-
parent to one another. If I impregnated another

WestJet CEO’s resolve
to get Swoop off ground
GREG KEENAN
AIRLINE INDUSTRY REPORTER
WestJet Airlines Ltd. must get its Swoop discount
airline launched on time and tackle its cost structure
to get ready for an onslaught of low-cost competi-
tion from new rivals, new WestJet chief executive of-
ficer Ed Sims says.
A move by Kelowna, B.C.-based Flair Airlines to
increase its schedule to 208 flights in June – as well as
the potential takeover of Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA
– have “redoubled my enthusiasm and appetite for
Swoop,” said Mr. Sims, who replaced Gregg Saretsky
as WestJet’s CEO last month.
International Airlines Group (IAG), the owner of
British Airways, Spain’s Vueling and other carriers, is
already planning to fly to Canada later this year un-
der its own long-haul discount carrier, known as
Level. IAG recently bought 4.6 per cent of Norwe-
gian, fuelling speculation about a takeover that
would give the latter airline a financially strong par-
ent to backstop its expansion plans.
Norwegian has delayed plans to fly to Canada
from Europe – originally scheduled to begin in July −
by a year, but other discount European carriers have
targeted Canada. Meanwhile Flair’s expansion, a
new economy-fare regime at Air Canada and an ex-
pansion of its low-cost Rouge network are increas-
ing the competitive pressure.
Flair’s announcement is a shot across the bow at
WestJet, Mr. Sims said. “That to me is a strong call to
action for WestJetters to make sure we redouble our
efforts both to make sure we operate on the lowest-
possible cost base and have the opportunity to
grow,” he said on Monday as he gave his first media
interviews since being appointed on March 8.
In the transatlantic market, Norwegian’s flights to
Canada, if they go ahead next year, will coincide with
the arrival of the first of 10 Boeing 787 wide-bodied
planes that WestJet will deploy to international mar-
kets. Destinations in Europe are on the list.

powers to enforce fines
against investor fraud
JUSTINE HUNTER VICTORIA
The B.C. government is giving two regulators more
teeth to tackle some white-collar crimes in the prov-
ince, bringing in the power of the courts to enforce
fines against investor fraud.
But broader changes that would address the in-
ability of the B.C. Securities Commission to collect
on hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid fines
are still under consideration.
On Monday, the provincial government intro-
duced amendments to the Securities Act that will
allow two national regulators, the Investment In-
dustry Regulatory Organization of Canada and the
Mutual Fund Dealers Association, to enforce penal-
ties as court orders against investment dealers who
wrong investors.
A Globe and Mail analysis last year found that na-
tionally, MFDA is owed $73.7-million in unpaid fines
and IIROC is owed $32.7-million.
Filing in court means that they will be able to pur-
sue outstanding fines, and order a person to comply
with decisions, made by these self-regulatory orga-
nizations.
In recent months, The Globe has highlighted the
inability of securities regulators across the country
to enforce sanctions against fraudsters and others
who run afoul of the regulators who oversee Cana-
da’s capital markets. In December, a Globe investi-
gation found that unpaid securities fines totalled
more than $1.1-billion – and only a fraction of the
fines announced are ever collected.
British Columbia has the worst track record for
collecting fines, in part because of its pattern of im-
posing tough-on-crime penalties – even though on-
ly a small fraction of those fines are ever collected.
The B.C. Securities Commission reported it had
$478-million worth of unpaid fines against individ-
uals, companies and groups last year, but it expects
only $100,000 of that – or 0.02 per cent – is likely to
be collected.

Shares of licensed medical-mari-

nearly 9 per cent on Monday on
better-than-expected quarterly

Aphria reported a $12.9-million

“We are very excited that this

Aphria moved to reduce its

Lawmakers and privacy advo-

practice, with many saying Face-

non-users to find out what the
company knows about them.
“We’ve got to fix that,” Mr. Lu-
jan, a Democrat, told Mr. Zucker-
berg, calling for such disclosure, a
move that would have unclear ef-
fects on the company’s ability to
target ads. Mr. Zuckerberg did not
respond. On Friday, Facebook
said it had no plans to build such
a tool.
Critics said that Mr. Zucker-
berg has not said enough about
the extent and use of the data.
“It’s not clear what Facebook is
doing with that information,”

U.S. Attorney-General Jeff Ses-

memo that suggested the federal
government would not intervene
in states where cannabis is legal,
and said he was leaving it to fed-

decide how aggressively to en-

WestJet: Demand for seats on
Swoop is ahead of expectations
FROM B1
“I fully expect to see deeper and
broader transatlantic competi-
tion coming out of Ireland in
Norwegian’s colours,” Mr. Sims
said.
Domestically, however, what
was expected to be a full-scale
battle between two ultralow-cost
carriers − so-called because they
offer rock-bottom fares, but
charge for baggage, seat selection
and all food and drinks − has
been delayed with Vancouver-
based Canada Jetlines Ltd. push-
ing back its original July launch
to an unspecified date.
Demand for seats on Swoop is
ahead of expectations, but the ul-
tralow-cost unit is also at the cen-
tre of a labour dispute between
WestJet and its pilots, who be-
came the first of the company’s
employee groups to be unionized
when they joined the Air Line Pi-
lots Association last year.
The WestJet unit of ALPA has
won a favourable Canadian In-
dustrial Relations Board ruling
that prevents Swoop from offer-
ing pilot jobs directly to existing
WestJet pilots without going
through the union.
The pilots union and WestJet
are in conciliation talks on a first
contract. The conciliation period
is to conclude at the end of April.
A strike can begin 21 days later.
The Swoop planes and the
routes they fly have traditionally
been flown by WestJet pilots, said
Rob McFadyen, chairman of AL-
PA’s WestJet unit.
“When you start taking routes
and aircraft away, it has a signif-
icant impact on our pilot group,”
Mr. McFadyen said in an inter-
view. “That is one of the para-
mount issues to our pilots.”
Mr. Sims confirmed Swoop has
already begun hiring pilots and
training them for the June 20
startup.

Sciences further to 20 per cent,
Mr. Neufeld said.
“This is just another advance-
ment of eventually getting to the
position of where medical canna-

Rogers to test 5G tech in Ottawa, with estimated 2020 rollout

DAVID PADDON TORONTO
Rogers Communications Inc. ex-
pects to begin testing core appli-
cations for fifth-generation wire-
less networks later this year in Ot-
tawa, after more precise 5G indus-
try standards come out, the
company’s chief technology offi-
cer said on Monday.
The tests will be conducted
with long-time network supplier
Ericsson, a Swedish multinational
that has a major research and de-
velopment lab in Ottawa – one of
Canada’s main technology devel-
opment hubs.
Jorge Fernandes, who recently
joined Rogers as its chief technol-
ogy officer, told reporters that 5G
networks probably won’t be ready
for “prime time” until about 2020
because of the hardware and soft-
ware that’s still to be developed.
But he added that the introduc-
tion of the new networks will re-
quire collaboration with many
partners, including city govern-
ments and businesses.
“There’s still a lot being done to
develop the technology itself.
And it’s important that we start
explaining and bringing these
partners along so that they can
see the future and see the benefits
they will bring,” Mr. Fernandes
said.
The new 5G level of wireless
service is expected to deliver sig-
nificantly faster download speeds
compared with today’s LTE net-
works and make new technolo-
gies possible.
While there are foreseeable
consumer applications for 5G,
such as virtual reality, Mr. Fer-
nandes expects a bigger initial
value from machine-to-machine
applications used by communi-
ties and businesses.
For example, Mr. Fernandes
said, a city with 5G-connected traf-
fic monitoring would assist self-
driving vehicles that are currently
being developed and rolled out
on a limited trial basis in various
countries.
“Autonomous vehicles today
have sensors within the vehicle it-
self. But the vehicle can only see
what it can see,” Mr. Fernandes
said. A 5G network would be able
to enhance the driverless car’s ca-
pabilities by warning it of hazards
beyond its sensor range, such as a
bicycle coming toward it from
around a corner.
In order for that to work, Mr.
Fernandes said, Rogers is prepar-
ing to modernize its wireless net-
work by vastly boosting the num-
ber of transmitters capable of
connecting thousands of sensors
within a city to automated vehi-
cles.
While Rogers has been using
Rogers Centre stadium to test fre-
quencies and network optimiza-
tion, Mr. Fernandes said there’s no
clear time frame for expanding its
5G testing in Toronto. However,
Mr. Fernandes is already working
to boost infrastructure – includ-
ing fibre optics, new electronics
and more towers – so that its net-
work will be ready to go once the
software has been finalized.
Ericsson is one of the world’s
leading wireless network technol-
ogy developers, and the main
supplier to Rogers since the cable
company got into the wireless
business.
Mr. Fernandes said the Ottawa
trial will be performed after Re-
lease 15 of the 5G standard comes
out – likely in June – which will
dictate how 5G devices should
talk with 4G networks.
The two main rivals for Rogers
– BCE Inc. and Telus Corp. – have
claimed their current 4G net-
works have a speed advantage,
but Mr. Fernandes said it’s not a
significant factor and promised to
surpass them. “I am not catching
up to be ‘as good as.’ We will be
leading in this business, make no
mistake about that.”

interest rates, loan growth
Bank of America reported a 34-

on Monday as it benefited from
higher interest rates and loan
growth.
The second-largest U.S. bank
by assets said net income attrib-
utable to shareholders rose to a
record US$6.49-billion in the
three months ended March 31
from US$4.84-billion a year earli-

Analysts on average had ex-
pected 59 US cents a share, ac-
cording to Thomson Reuters I/B/
E/S. It was not immediately clear
if the reported figures were com-
parable.
Total revenue, net of interest
expense, rose about 4 per cent to
US$23.28-billion.
In the bank’s biggest business –
consumer banking – revenue rose
9 per cent to US$9.03-billion.

with a growing global economy
and solid U.S. consumer activity,

Rising interest rates starting

to pinch more Canadians: poll
CALGARY
A new poll suggests a growing
proportion of Canadians say they
are feeling the effects of higher in-
terest rates.
The quarterly MNP consumer
debt index survey says 43 per cent
of Canadians say they’re feeling
the effects of higher interest rates,
up five percentage points from
three months ago.
The poll done for insolvency
firm MNP also said 51 per cent of
respondents fear rising interest
rates could impact their ability to
repay their debts, while 33 per
cent agreed that rising interest
rates could possibly push them
toward bankruptcy.
Forty-seven per cent said they
do not believe they’ll be able to
cover all living and family ex-
penses in the next 12 months
without going into further debt.
The poll comes ahead of the
Bank of Canada’s interest rate an-
nouncement later this week.
The central bank has raised its
key interest rate target three
times since last summer, moves
that have prompted the big banks
to raise their prime lending rates.
The latest MNP poll was done
between March 12 and March 16
and included a sample of 2,001
Canadians that were interviewed
online.
The polling industry’s profes-
sional body, the Marketing Re-
search and Intelligence Associ-
ation, says online surveys cannot
be assigned a margin of error be-
cause they do not randomly sam-
ple the population.

it to a third party and make a
profit out of it. This is where the
companies that are transparent
about their data use and strive to
put data protection at the centre
of their mission will win a com-
petitive advantage.
In the midst of all that, there
is one thing we must not forget:
We, as users, also have resources
unlawful access from ill-inten-
tioned elements as well.
In the end, in this debate over
data protection, I think the ef-
forts will need to come from
both sides of the spectrum: Cor-
porations need to take better
care of personal data and treat

W Cambridge Analytica
scandal coming to a
head over the past couple of
weeks, a topic that was once neb-
ulous is now put under a bright
spotlight and becoming a major
concern for all online users: data
privacy and protection. The busi-
ness model that puts personal
information at the centre of prof-
itability through advertising is
questioned: Should we allow
free online and social media in
return for monetization of per-
sonal information through ad-
vertising, or should we charge for
online activity? While new sub-
scription-based models are
bringing alternatives to the ad-
supported internet, I believe we
can still have free access to con-
tent and services, in return for
reasonable use of personal infor-
mation for advertising.
First of all, Canada ranks high
in comparison to the rest of the
world on protection of privacy.
Let’s use the stringent European
privacy law as a prime point of
fication of compliance in order
to obtain the same privileges.
This does not mean Canada is
exempt from improving and
clarifying its current regulations.
A parliamentary report that
came out at the end of February
suggested modernizing Canada’s
privacy laws, and I couldn’t agree
more.
Advertising today is depend-
ent on personal data like it has
never been before, and as an in-
dustry, we are facing the chal-
lenge of building ethical and
transparent frameworks that will
contribute to establishing trust
between consumers, service pro-
viders and advertisers, and make
advertising a healthy part of so-
ciety. Only if that challenge is
met will we be able to trust cor-
porations offering a free service
to consumers, such as a social
network, to generate their reve-
nue from ethical and lawful use
of the data they have gathered
for advertising purposes.
So what would be an ethical
notion of consent is important:
As a user, I agreed to give access
to my data (and to specify what
sort of data I’m willing to share)
to this platform alone. However,
I have not agreed to give access
to any third party that is not di-
rectly involved in the services I
have subscribed to. That’s one
instance where boundaries need
to be drawn.
An encouraging sign that we
are seeing right now is the no-
tion of privacy by design that
many corporations and technol-
ogy providers are adopting. More
and more platforms are building
products with built-in end-to-
end encryption and limiting data
retention to the bare minimum
rather than addressing the prob-
lem separately with complex
tools and processes. This ensures
that data collected will be re-
tained for the shortest time nec-
essary and that all communica-
tions and databases will be en-
crypted to limit the risks of secu-
rity breaches. In the long run,
and tools that can help us con-
trol just how much information
we give out and what type of ad-
vertising we see − starting with
our smartphones, which are al-
ready packing a ton of controls
over what is shared to apps.
On the web, an obvious exam-
ple may be ad blockers, but there
are many other technologies that
empower the user to exert their
right to data privacy and control
their data exposure. A common
example is the incognito mode
that is available on a majority of
browsers that will remove coo-
kies and other data at the end of
every session.
Other tools such as secure
DNS services, virtual private net-
works or browser extensions
that give granular control over
which companies can track
browsing habits are all addition-
al tools that users can leverage if
they get educated about the sub-
ject.
As a bonus, some of those
tools also help protect against
those data in an ethical manner,
but also be more transparent
about what data are being used
and how, in a language that not
only tech-savvy users or some-
one in the legal profession would
understand.
By providing clarity to the us-
er, we will create more informed
users and empower them to take
control and so, share the respon-
sibility of data protection with
them.
But as far as data protection
goes in Canada, we are in a great
position to create a healthier on-
line experience for consumers,
having received the adequacy
status from the EU’s general da-
ta-protection regulation, but also
with the recommendations that
were made to modernize the
Personal Information Protection
and Electronic Documents Act.
These are a couple of great first
steps. I think the next one will be
how we educate and empower
ourselves as consumers over on-
line privacy.

messages that fit.
Simplicity also helps. Research has shown that it’s best to
break complex arguments down into shorter communica-
tions. If messages resonate with people’s values, informa-
tional shortcuts can be okay; people don’t need every detail if
the source is honest and credible, and they have a sense of
shared interests.
You get people’s attention by showing that you under-
stand their concerns and can speak effectively to them – be-
cause you know that their apprehensions matter. Simply re-
peating your own priorities can be ineffective or worse.

Autos drive U.S. retail sales rebound, Icahn closes deal

signalling consumer sentiment gains
Concerns over a U.S.-China
trade war, which has roiled
markets, may yet influence
consumer confidence
LUCIA MUTIKANI WASHINGTON
U.S. retail sales rebounded in March after
three straight monthly declines as house-
holds boosted purchases of motor vehicles
and other big-ticket items, suggesting con-
sumer spending was heading into the sec-
ond quarter with some momentum.
Economists saw a limited impact on re-
tail sales for now from a recent ebb in con-
sumer sentiment, citing a robust labour
market, which is steadily pushing up wage
growth.
Consumer sentiment slipped in early
April as households worried about the
outcome of the Trump administration’s
trade policies. Fears of a trade war be-
tween China and the United States have
roiled financial markets.
“The trade war and battered stock mar-
ket may yet cause the consumer to temper
their consumption expenditures, but for
the moment, the sun is out and shining,”
said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at
MUFG in New York. “Consumers are doing
their part to drive the economy forward as
they restart their engines from a cold and
snowy winter.”
The U.S. Commerce Department said on
Monday retail sales increased 0.6 per cent
last month after an unrevised 0.1-per-cent
dip in February. January data were revised
to show sales falling 0.2 per cent, instead
of the previously reported 0.1-per-cent
drop.
Economists had forecast retail sales ris-
ing 0.4 per cent in March. Retail sales in
March increased 4.5 per cent from a year
ago.
Excluding automobiles, gasoline, build-
ing materials and food services, retail sales
rose 0.4 per cent last month after going
unchanged in February. These so-called
core retail sales, which correspond most
closely with the consumer spending com-
ponent of gross domestic product, were
previously reported to have risen 0.1 per
cent in February.
U.S. financial markets were little moved
by the data as investors watched geopolit-
ical developments. U.S. stocks rose on
waning fears that the weekend’s U.S.-led
missile attack on Syria would escalate into
a broader conflict. U.S. Treasury prices fell
and the U.S. dollar weakened against a
basket of currencies.

Shire sells its cancer business

to Servier as Takeda plans bid
LONDON
Shire PLC, the London-listed
rare-diseases specialist that is a
potential takeover target for Ja-
pan’s Takeda Pharmaceutical
Co. Ltd., is selling its oncology
business to unlisted French drug
maker Servier SAS for US$2.4-bil-
lion.
The deal suggests there is value
locked up within Shire’s portfolio
– despite a dismal share price per-
formance in the past two years –
as its management braces for a
possible US$50-billion bid battle
with Japan’s biggest drug maker.
Shire said on Monday it would
consider returning proceeds
from the sale to shareholders
through a buyback and that fur-
ther selective disposals of non-
strategic assets were possible.
The divestment of the cancer
business may be a deterrent for
Takeda, since oncology was one
of the areas it had highlighted as
driving the case for a Shire deal,
along with gastrointestinal med-
icine and neuroscience.
Still, given the small contribu-
tion of the cancer business to
Shire’s overall profit, Deutsche
Bank analysts said this was un-
likely to be a deal breaker.
A Takeda spokesman declined
to comment.
Shire was at pains to point out
that it started exploring the sale
of oncology in December and
commenced the disposal process
in January, during which it identi-
fied multiple possible U.S., Eu-
ropean and Japanese buyers.
Takeda’s interest in Shire was
made public only at the end of
last month.
Under British takeover rules,
Takeda has until April 25 to an-
nounce whether it will bid for
Shire, which has a market value
of around US$47-billion.
Buying Shire would be trans-
formational for Takeda, but
would be a huge financial stretch,
since the company is worth
around US$10-billion more than
the Japanese group. Shire also

but a Takeda-Shire transaction
would be by far the biggest yet.
Two sources with direct knowl-
edge of the matter said last week
that Takeda had sounded out its
major creditors for loans to fund
a potential Shire bid.
Shire chief executive Flem-
ming Ornskov said the sale of the
oncology business to Servier
demonstrated the value embed-
ded in Shire.
Jefferies analysts said the sale
“should boost Shire’s negotiating
position on asking price in the
current offer period with Take-
da.”
Shire has long been seen as a
likely takeover target and was
nearly bought by U.S. drug maker
AbbVie Inc. in 2014, until U.S. tax
rule changes caused it to walk
away.
Shire itself also has a track re-
cord of acquisitions, but its big-

CPPIB appoints new infrastructure head

Scott Lawrence, with
the fund sincce 2005,
replaces Cressida Hogg
on $25-billion portfolio
JACQUELINE NELSON
Canada Pension Plan Investment
Board has appointed a new head
of its $25-billion infrastructure
portfolio, the latest in a wave of
changes in leadership positions
across the country’s major pen-
sion funds.
Cressida Hogg has decided to
leave CPPIB, according to an inter-
nal memo circulated at the fund
last week. Ms. Hogg, who is based
in London, will be moving to a
role outside the pension world.
Since she joined CPPIB in
mid-2014, the infrastructure port-
folio has grown by more than $10-
billion and now has a team of
more than 40 professionals
spread across offices in Toronto,
London, Sao Paulo, Mumbai and
Sydney.
Replacing Ms. Hogg will be
Scott Lawrence, who up until re-
cently was CPPIB’s head of funda-
mental equities, a team that over-
sees an active portfolio of invest-
ments in public companies. But
Mr. Lawrence is no stranger to his
new position, having joined the
pension fund in 2005 to initiate
the infrastructure investments
group. He went on to found the re-
lationship investments group at
CPPIB, which is a strategy that in-
volves taking significant minority
stakes in public companies where
the fund believes its partnership
can add value. No replacement for
Mr. Lawrence’s job has been de-
termined at this time.
Ed Cass, global head of real as-
sets at CPPIB, said that it would be
business as usual for his group,
which also includes real estate
and agriculture. He noted that the
strategy and objectives of the in-
frastructure team wouldn’t
change, and stressed the impor-
tance of close collaboration
across teams in the real-assets
group in looking for new invest-
ments.
The move is the latest in a
string of high profile exits from
across the major pension funds as
senior executives and asset class
leaders have jostled for new posi-
tions within the pension space
and beyond.
Ms. Hogg’s resignation means
that the country’s three largest
pension funds have all changed
their top infrastructure managers
in the past couple of months. In
March, the Caisse de dépôt et
placement du Québec said that
Macky Tall would move from
overseeing its $16-billion infras-
tructure portfolio to become head
of liquid markets and the Réseau
express métropolitain (REM) rap-
id-transit project in Montreal.
The pension fund has chosen
Emmanuel Jaclot, who has previ-
ously worked on mergers and ac-
quisitions at energy management
company Schneider Electric, to fill
Mr. Tall’s responsibility for infras-
tructure investing. He will begin
at the start of June.
Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan
also parted ways with its infras-
tructure and natural resource
head Andrew Claerhout earlier
this year and has appointed Dale
Burgess, who had overseen the
Latin America infrastructure
team, as interim leader. The pen-
sion fund has close to $19-billion
in net assets tied up in infrastruc-
ture.
With the transition under way
in infrastructure, CPPIB is still
working on filling some other
large executive positions. Chief
executive Mark Machin led a
“planned renewal of senior man-
agement,” last month that saw
chief operations officer Nick Ze-
lenczuk, 62, global head of public
market investments Eric Wetlauf-
er, 55, and former global head of
real assets Graeme Eadie, 65, exit
the fund. The first two men have
yet to be replaced.

After the dot-com bubble burst at the

in 2003, when demand for short-term rent-

of thing that you look at when you are un-

WeWork’s general manager Mr.
McLaughlin said co-working lowers tenant
capital expenditures and does not tie them
into long-term leases. “Regardless of eco-
nomic backdrop, we’ve seen an increasing
value placed on flexibility, moving real es-
tate from a fixed asset to a more fluid one,”
he said.
Flexibility could mean businesses and
contractors choose co-working spaces dur-
ing a downturn. On the other hand, it could
mean businesses and contractors stop

More critical are WeWork’s leases. It is
not known whether WeWork’s U.S. parent
company guarantees every location’s
lease, which would help ensure that land-
lords are paid if WeWork does not have
enough tenants to fill its space. A WeWork
spokeswoman said the company does not

current numbers on Monday.
The amount of outstanding fines
in B.C. for the two national regu-
lators is not publicly known.
Attorney-General David Eby
said the changes will help protect
investors – particularly vulnera-
ble seniors who may invest their
life savings in the securities mar-
ket – but it doesn’t deal with the
broader spectrum of white-collar
crimes that are regulated by the
B.C. Securities Commission.
“Only those people who are
members of these regulatory
bodies are affected by these
changes,” Mr. Eby said.
He said B.C. is simply catching
up with other jurisdictions, in-
cluding Quebec and Ontario, that
have already given the Invest-
ment Industry Regulatory Orga-
nization of Canada (IIROC) the
authority to pursue the collec-
tion of disciplinary fines directly
through the courts.
Manitoba tabled similar
amendments last month. Alberta
has made the change as well and
reported better enforcement out-
comes as a result, Mr. Eby said.
However, Mr. Eby said more
changes are coming.
“It’s one piece of an overall ap-
proach to protect investors in
British Columbia but it is not the
whole piece.”
The B.C. Securities Commis-
sion has already provided a sub-
mission on potential changes to
improve its enforcement rates,
and Minister of Finance Carole
James is currently reviewing
those options.
The unpaid-fines figure is just
one of several troubling issues
uncovered in The Globe’s investi-
gation into the oversight of Cana-
da’s capital markets. The thou-
sands of case files analyzed also
reveal that one in every nine
people sanctioned in Canada
usually ends up with another
blemish on their record, suggest-
ing that committing such crimes
is easy and that little exists in the
way of effective deterrence for re-
peat offenders.
At the same time, some fraud-
sters appear to be exploiting
Canada’s patchwork of provin-
cial regulators. More than 63 per
cent of repeat offenders have
been previously sanctioned in
another jurisdiction, or by a dif-
ferent regulator, the analysis
shows.
The IIROC oversees approxi-
mately 160 investment dealers
and their trading activity in Can-
ada’s debt and equity markets.
In British Columbia, the agen-
cy works under the authority of
the B.C. Securities Commission,
with the power to investigate
and prosecute firms and invest-
ment advisers that breach its
rules.

Vermilion: Spartan shareholders are not being offered any cash in the deal
FROM B1
Not least of which has been the
view that a big increase in sorely
needed oil export capacity is
anything but assured, even after
Ottawa recommitted to the Kin-
der Morgan Inc. Trans Mountain
pipeline expansion last week-
end.
As a result, it’s feared invest-
ment returns could keep lagging
those of U.S. oil companies that
operate in regions such as the
Permian basin.
Spartan shareholders are not
being offered any cash. Acquisi-
tion-related equity raising has
been all but off-limits to Cana-
dian oil and gas companies since
last year, when such producers as
Cardinal Energy Ltd. and Painted
Pony Energy Ltd. were punished
for issuing stock.
Vermilion is paying the equiv-
alent of 4.5-to-5 times forecast
2018 cash flow for Spartan’s
23,000 barrels a day of output,
according to Mr. Wood, a bargain
compared with just a few years
ago for similar assets and comes
even as oil prices improve. Mean-
while, Vermilion expects cash
flow a share to increase by 15 per
cent.
With the deal, Vermilion’s pro-
portion of North American pro-
duction increases to 60 per cent
from 46 per cent, with European
output at 35 per cent and Austra-
lian production at 5 per cent.
Vermilion chief executive offi-
cer Anthony Marino said he be-
lieves investors are better served
in a larger organization. “In this
equity market that we exist in,
we do think that it’s hard for
small companies to attract the
attention of institutional inves-
tor,” he told analysts on a confer-
ence call. “And the smaller you
are, the bigger the impact is and
that’s another reason I think that
we’ll find that the transaction
works well for the Spartan share-
holders.”
Vermilion’s own shareholders
will also benefit from more heft,
Mr. Marino said.
Spartan’s chief executive offi-
cer, Rick McHardy, was not avail-
able to comment on why it was
time to sell and at this price. As
recently as January, Spartan
shares topped out at $7.29.
Mr. McHardy has exemplified
a breed of oil-patch executive
that has made a career of starting
up companies, building them up
to a certain size, selling them off,
then repeating the process. Spar-
tan Energy is the third incarna-
tion of the company for the CEO,
who was named Saskatchewan
Oilman of the Year in 2017 for his
success in the southeastern cor-
ner of the province.
Now, the selling-them-off part
has become a lot more difficult
amid the extended downturn
and negative investor sentiment,
and the entrepreneurs have been
left running the businesses much
longer than they had planned,
leaving them frustrated.
In Saskatchewan, other
would-be buyers for Spartan
have been dealing with their
own struggles. Crescent Point En-
ergy Corp. has sworn off corpo-
rate acquisitions for now after
irking investors with equity of-
ferings to fund them. It is now
the target of an activist investor,
Cation Capital Inc., which is
pushing to remake the board of
directors.
Raging River had previously
been speculated as a possible
suitor for Spartan, and for assets
that Crescent Point has up for
sale. It is now studying a “strate-
gic repositioning,” leaving the
market to wonder whether it is
on the sidelines of deal-making.
Now, Spartan shareholders
have the opportunity to throw
their lot in with Vermilion, which
means dividends and a much
more diversified suite of assets.

Another report, by Deloitte, predicts
that marijuana revenues will reach

Unsurprisingly, this high-growth
sector is proving irresistible to
strategic investors. Downside risk
management may also be part of
its appeal: early trends indicate this
paradigm shift may impact many
sectors, from stalwart components
of the Dow Jones Industrial (such
as pharma giants Merck, Pfizer and
Johnson & Johnson) to the alco-
holic beverage companies on the
S&P 500 and other leading indices.
In a new, untested sector, how-
ever, choosing individual compa-
nies is a gamble even for seasoned
investors with unlimited time for
analysis. Especially for those who
wish to avoid the high fees usually
associated with managed specialty
mutual funds, therefore, last year’s
launch of the Horizons Marijuana
Life Sciences Index ETF was a wel-
come development. In less than a
year, the fund – the first marijuana-
themed ETF in North America – has
grown to more than $700-million

Thematic ETFs such as this one

grown at an annual 10-year rate of
22 per cent in Canada and 19 per
cent globally in terms of assets
under management – a trajectory
that has the attention of inves-
tors. With the number of funds
and assets under management
having increased to 584 ETFs with
$152-billion in assets in Canada and
over 5,400 ETFs with $4.8-trillion
(U.S.) in assets globally, ETFs have
now surpassed the hedge fund
industry.
“The success of the ETF industry
has attracted both new firms and
existing firms, where traditional
active mutual fund shops have
entered into ETFs to participate in
the market demand and transform
their business,” says Kevin Gopaul,
chair of the Canadian ETF Associa-
tion (CETFA). “The increase in the
number of products and providers

Horizons launched a second
thematic ETF, the Robotics and
Automation Index, in December.
“This theme is very specific to the
world of automation and AI, all the
things that are and will impact us
every day, from a medical perspec-
tive, self-driving cars or manufactur-

see significant growth possibilities

Mr. Gopaul. “ETF users recognize
the importance of asset allocation,
and ETFs provide a highly efficient
tool to get access to areas of the
market that traditionally required
more expertise and operational
complexity.”
With ETFs tracking virtually every
sector, region and asset class, and
an ever-increasing range of products
and providers, how to select an
ETF? Mr. Gopaul suggests taking a
closer look and asking questions
like: What is the quality of the man-

mitment to service and education?
What’s the breadth of offerings?
And what is the commitment to
innovation?

same time, its growth prospects are
unparalleled.
“We see these thematic ETFs as

priorities,” says Mr. Gopaul. While
the approach will likely be different
for institutional investors, advisory
clients or individual investors, it’s
important to have a solid under-
standing of the product and how
it fits into an investment portfolio,
he explains. “While niche ETFs are
quite popular, they can be challeng-
ing in terms of liquidity, tradability
and meeting expected returns.
“The evolution in products will
continue to be more solutions ori-
ented. As more users become com-
fortable with ETFs, they will also
be more open to discussing their
needs for portfolio construction,” he
says. “providers are becoming more
responsive to those needs. They
are working on solutions that are
appropriate and relevant for a range
of sophisticated users.”

B8 PROPERTY REPORT
University dorms open for summer business
An increasing number
of schools are creating
fancier residences that
can be used year-round,
raising extra revenue
and keeping their
campuses hopping
PAUL ATTFIELD
ith total 2017-18 enroll-
W ment sitting at 35,880
full-time undergraduate
students and 9,350 full-time grad-
uate students, not to mention
scores of part-timers, the Univer-
sity of British Columbia can be a
busy place through much of the
fall and winter.
But with exams coming to an
end in the next couple of weeks,
the university and its campuses,
particularly the main one at Point
Grey, situated a 20-minute drive
from downtown Vancouver, can
lose some of their vitality.
Injecting more life into the
school throughout the summer
months was just one of the main
factors at play when the universi-
ty decided to build its Ponderosa
Commons residences.
While the extra 1,150 beds were
sorely needed to help offset the
university’s constantly growing
waitlist, the ability to run the
units - which include studios and
two- and four-bedroom pods - on
a 12-month basis was important.
Students who rent there, along
with select other residences, have
the option to sub-let their units to
other UBC students and visitors
over the summer, with prices at
Ponderosa listed for around $145
per room per night on Expedia.ca.
“Summer is the nicest months
by far in Vancouver and the cam-
pus is under-used,” says Gerry
McGeough, UBC’s director of
planning and design. “So from a
sustainability [standpoint] it al-
lows us to get better use of build-
ings and our lands.”
The location of Ponderosa
Commons, consisting of three
buildings on three neighbouring
sites which fully opened two
years ago, was carefully thought
out. When UBC conducted its lat-
est campus plan in 2010, much
had changed since the previous
one drafted in 1992. While aca-
demics was still a guiding princi-
ple for the plan, concepts of well-
being, community and compact
development were also impor-
tant.
As a result, the university de-
cided to use the new construction
project as a way to enliven the
academic core of campus, build-
ing it in an area that was tradi-
tionally reserved for teaching fa-
cilities. This had the added effect
of not only adding vibrancy to a
sleepier part of campus, but also

ing. Most schools have long of-
fered accommodation as a fringe
operation in the summer, but an
increasing number are taking it
more seriously now — building
and updating facilities to make
them useful on a 12-month basis,
not just for the school year, par-
ticularly as they update campus
plans that are looking increasing-
ly dated. The results can be not
only much-needed extra revenue
but also a more vibrant campus,
better security and a sense of
community.
At the University of Victoria, its
master plan from the 1960s in-
cluded a lot of buildings (such as
the Craigdarroch and Lands-
downe residences, as well as the
food facility) constructed in the
Brutalist style of architecture.
“So there’s not a lot of win-
dows and there’s not a lot of
transparency and a welcoming at-
mosphere,” says Mike Wilson,
UVic’s director of campus plan-
ning and sustainability.
The university renewed its
campus plan in 2016, with an in-
tent to densify the campus and

make it more walkable. New resi-
dences are being planned, and
Mr. Wilson says the goal is to “in-
ject positivity and positive life in-
to the campus.”
The University of Victoria also
holds conferences on campus
year-round, and while he says it’s
not a big operation, and it’s not
really meant to compete with the
Victoria Conference Centre, he
adds that “it definitely serves its
purpose” in helping offset aca-
demic costs.
It’s a similar story at Thomp-
son Rivers University in Kam-
loops, where Glenn Read, the ex-
ecutive director of athletics, rec-
reation and ancillary services,
says the school runs a fairly signif-
icant conference business year-
round.
However, while the school’s fo-
cus on residences has been and
always will be for students, histor-
ically the school has filled them
over the summer to help keep
rates down for students during
the academic year.
“It’s not the equivalent of a
four-, five-star hotel,” he says of
the school’s newest residence, a
585-suite building built 11 years
ago.
“You get what you pay for. We
don’t promote it as a high-end
hotel, but we do promote it as
convenient, discounted accom-
modation.”
At Queen’s University in King-
ston, the ability to rent out ac-
commodation to tourists, confer-
ence-goers and others over the
summer months had a direct ef-
fect on how its newest residences
were constructed.
Built in 2015, Brant House and
David C. Smith House have two-
bedroom units that go on the
market from early May to late Au-
gust each year. Each residence is
even listed on lodging websites
such as Expedia.ca and Booking.
com, with prices at David C.
Smith House sitting around $109
for a two-bedroom suite.
Instead of carpet, the units
were outfitted with wood floors,
which are “easier to maintain and
visually more appealing,” says Ni-
cole Braatz, manager of sales and
marketing at Queen’s Housing
and Ancillary Services.
In addition, flat-screen TVs
and mini-fridges come as stan-
dard in each room, and even the
sheets provided have morphed
from regular bedspreads to a “ho-
tel-like” white duvet system.
“We’re very competitive with
the hotel market,” Ms. Braatz
says, although stressing the
school simply adds to the availa-
ble room inventory in central
Kingston rather than challenges
traditional hotels.
“Kingston is becoming such a
hot spot … that the downtown
marketplace, especially with our
proximity, we grow the market in
the summer, we don’t take away
business.”

some debt financing, spend a few
years turning them around by res-
tructuring or shedding businesses
and then they sell them back to
public stockholders, ideally at a
gain.
That isn’t to say all debt is good,
either, of course. Debt-laden com-
panies pay more for their credit,
and those interest payments take
money away from shareholders.
The goal is to identify
the cheapest stocks of
companies that are
strong enough to repay
their debt.
But most leveraged buyouts
are of smaller companies, accord-
ing to research by Dan Rasmus-
sen, a former private-equity ana-
lyst who now runs the hedge fund
Verdad. And these deals don’t all
go sour. Mr. Rasmussen and col-
league Brian Chingono used dec-
ades of research on small-compa-
ny stocks to show how investors
can benefit from leveraged small
companies.
The goal is to identify the
cheapest stocks of companies
covered by looking at factors such
as gross profit-to-assets, long-
term debt-to-assets, valuation as
measured by enterprise value-to-
gross-earnings and long-term
debt-to-enterprise value. The av-
erage annual return of the top
quartile of stocks that passed
their screens was 25.1 per cent.
One warning for investors: The
stocks that score well on this mod-
el have a high degree of volatility,
especially to the downside. Excess
risks are rewarded with excess re-
turns, but this heightened volatil-
ity is something to consider for
risk-averse types.
Validea analyzed the model
and found that the returns of the
past few years have not been as
high as those tested in the re-
idea used the screens suggested
by Mr. Rasmussen and Mr. Chin-
gono:
Marcus Corp. (MCS-NYSE):
An operator of multiplex cine-
mas. It has a debt-to-equity ratio
of 0.7 and a relatively low 9.1enter-
prise value/EBITDA (earnings be-
fore interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization). EV/EBITDA is
used because it presents a way to
take the firm’s level of debt into
consideration when valuing the
company. Earnings for Marcus,
while choppy, have been positive
in each of the past 10 years.
Lannett Co. (LCI-NYSE): This
generic-drug maker has an EV/
EBITDA ratio of 5.6. The stock
trades close to its 52-week low. A
big research development can
turn on equity of 14.8 per cent.
Gray Television (GTN-
NYSE): This broadcaster has an
EV/EBITDA ratio of 7.7 with very
healthy returns on capital and eq-
uity.
To be sure, the majority of the
models created by Validea screen
for companies that have lower
debt levels, but as this research
points out, looking at debt
through another filter may un-
earth some hidden opportunities.

driving the loonie’s value
changing? This week’s Bank of
Canada statement on monetary
policy is likely to provide the an-
swer to this important question.
The Canadian dollar’s value
has been determined in large part
by relative bond yields – the Can-
adian two-year bond yield minus
the U.S. Treasury yield – over the
past five years as the accompany-
ing top chart (and the correlation
calculation) highlights.
In simple terms, this is a func-
tion of cross-border asset flows,
with investments moving to the
country with the higher bond
yields. When an American port-
folio manager allocates funds to
Canadian bonds, for instance,
they must first sell greenbacks
and buy Canadian dollars in for-
eign-exchange markets in the
process.
Two-year bond yields on both
sides of the border are very much
affected by central bank interest-
rate policy. Domestically, the cur-
rent tightening (interest-rate
hike) cycle has pushed the gov-

Fritz Folts did just that earlier
this year after slashing his hold-

backed by stocks and cutting to
zero his exposure to broad
emerging-market ETFs, focusing
instead on the United States and
Japan. He says the positive
growth momentum and favor-

drove equities in 2017 dimin-

aren’t paying enough heed to the
next round of U.S. Federal Re-

said Mr. Folts, 60, who oversees
US$800-million as chief invest-

average annual return of 9.03 per

ROBERT BURGESS
OPINION
Editor of Bloomberg Prophets
ardly a day went by in 2017
H without some pundit be-
moaning the lack of vola-
tility in financial markets. They
worried about complacency, im-
plying that the Goldilocks-like
environment that enveloped
markets was a recipe for disaster.
With volatility on the rise, you
would think the hand-wringing
would diminish. It hasn’t. Now,
the pundits are worried the big
swings in asset prices of the past
few months portend doom.
The simple fact is the recent
swings are closer to what is con-
sidered normal, and investors
should be thankful. What hap-
pened last year was abnormal.
Rising volatility will lead to a
healthier market. No longer will
everyone be on the same side of
every trade, taking the same bet
that an individual stock or an in-
dex will go up or down. That
should result in better “price dis-
covery,” which is a fancy way of
saying greater differentiation in
the values between good and bad
stocks.
A primary complaint about
low volatility was that it favoured
the rise of passive investing strat-

funds, which try to mimic the

ESG, or environment, social and

three key criteria that socially re-

evaluate a company.
Scrutiny using ESG-focused in-

promotes ethical business prac-
tices, it also helps investors avoid
ownership in companies that
may be subject to controversy
and scandal.
Today, I’ve created a strategy

more highly associated with con-
troversial topics. This strategy

Canaccord Genuity analyst Ara-
vinda Galappatthige thinks Coge-

ground with its Canadian cable
segment. “We advise investors to
look for an attractive entry point
in the event of a further downtick

months of the year, the best first
quarter since 2009, according to
Bloomberg News’s Lu Wang.
Somewhere along the line, the
word “volatility” became code for
a declining stock market. The re-
ality is that rising volatility as
measured by the CBOE Volatility
Index, or VIX, “is only a reflection
of volatile movements in the
market – it is not a predictor of fu-
ture returns,” David Kotok, the
head of Cumberland Advisors,
wrote in a note on Friday to the
wealth-management firm’s cli-
ents. Although the VIX has risen
from a record low of below 10 in
November to above 30 in Febru-
ary, that doesn’t necessarily por-
tend trouble. Mr. Kotok points
out that whenever the VIX has
doubled in a period of three
months, the S&P 500 has gained
an average of 6.31 per cent in the
following six months. The S&P
500’s average six-month return is
4.37 per cent since 1990.
The reasons for last year’s low
volatility are pretty apparent.
First, there’s little room for sur-
prise when the Federal Reserve is
telling you what it’s going to do,
when it’s going to do it and by
how much. Second, the Trump
administration was focused on
such market-friendly moves as
reducing regulations and cutting
corporate taxes.
But now, markets are getting
back to normal. The ride may feel
extra bumpy and gut-wrenching,
but that’s only because of last
year’s abnormally calm condi-
tions. At 17.5 on Friday, the VIX
isn’t far from its historical average
of 19.35. I say embrace the current
conditions, if only because mar-
kets are fun again.

Markets summary
CANADIAN STOCKS
Canada’s main stock index rose on Monday, led by industrial
and financial shares, as fears waned over an escalating con-
flict in Syria following the weekend’s U.S.-led air strikes.
The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX Composite Index
closed up 0.17 per cent, at 15,300.38. It was the third straight day
that the index has ended modestly higher. The largest per-
centage gainer on the TSX was Aphria, which rose 7.4 per cent,
while the largest decliner was Enerflex, down 6.9 per cent.
U.S. STOCKS
U.S. stocks closed higher, with the biggest boosts coming from
the technology and health-care sectors as investors were opti-
mistic about earnings season and appeared less worried
about U.S.-led missile attacks in Syria.
Netflix shares gained about 7 per cent after close following
its quarterly report. Its subscriber growth beat analyst expec-
tations. It had ended the regular session down 1.2 per cent.
UnitedHealth provided the second-biggest boost to the
S&P from a single stock a day ahead of its earnings report with
a 2.7-per-cent gain. Microsoft was the biggest positive contrib-
utor with a 1.2-per-cent gain, on a weighted basis. Merck rose
2.6 per cent after it presented positive data on its cancer drug
Keytruda, also boosting the S&P health-care index.
COMMODITIES
Crude dropped from a three-year high as concerns about con-
flicts in the Middle East eased.
Futures declined 1.7 per cent in New York after rallying for
five sessions. U.S. President Donald Trump declared “mission
accomplished” after the United States, France and Britain
bombed Syria in response to chemical attacks on civilians.
Gold prices rose as losses in the U.S. dollar bolstered the
precious metal, although gains were muted as financial mar-
kets bet that air strikes on Syria would not escalate.
FOREX AND BONDS
The Canadian dollar strengthened against its U.S. counterpart
as stocks rose and investors braced for the potential of a more
upbeat economic assessment by the Bank of Canada at an in-
terest-rate decision this week. The U.S. dollar fell 0.41 per cent
against a basket of major currencies.
Canadian government bond prices were lower across a
steeper yield curve, with the two-year down 2.5 cents to yield
1.877 per cent and the 10-year falling 27 cents to yield 2.275 per
cent. The 10-year yield touched its highest level since March 21
at 2.292 per cent.
The U.S. yield curve reached it flattest level in more than a
decade as the White House said Mr. Trump will nominate
economist Richard Clarida as Federal Reserve vice-chairman.
The spread between five-year and 30-year Treasury bonds
fell to 34.6 basis points, the lowest in more than 10 years.

Leafs notch a roller-coaster Game 3 win

DAVID SHOALTS TORONTO
After two games of getting run
over by the Boston Bruins, the
Toronto Maple Leafs took their
fans for one of their familiar roll-
er-coaster rides.
Mixing the running and gun-
ning that was not seen in the first
two games of this NHL playoff
series with lots of close calls in
their own end, the Leafs took a
4-2 win Monday night. The wildly
entertaining win gave them
some breathing room in the se-
ries by cutting the Bruins’ lead to
2-1.
The tension didn’t release un-
til 16:25 of the third period when
Patrick Marleau and Mitch Mar-
ner flew off on a two-on-one
rush and Marleau scored his sec-
ond goal of the night to put the
Leafs up by two.
It all started with head coach
Mike Babcock giving his critics
the bird in the morning.
Babcock is nothing if not stub-
born. In the face of unanimous
scorn from the fans and media
toward invisible centre Tomas
Plekanec, Babcock doubled
down. He promoted Plekanec to
second-line centre, Nazem Ka-
dri’s job before he was suspend-
ed for three games due to a mas-
sive brain cramp.
This was unveiled at the
game-day skate, with Plekanec
between Kadri’s regular line-
mates, Patrick Marleau, whose
switch to centre for Game 2 was a
flop, and Mitch Marner. Plekanec
and his new linemates were also
assigned to the Patrice Bergeron
line.
Clearly, Babcock must have
stumbled on that old YouTube
footage of Brad Marchand saying
Plekanec, more than any other
NHL forward, drove him crazy.

DeBrusk to locate the puck in front of the Toronto net on Monday. FRANK GUNN/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Of course, Marchand was talking
about the Plekanec circa 2009-12
roughly, when he was still with
the Montreal Canadiens and still
interested in playing.
The coach was not quite as
supportive when the topic of an-
other passenger, forward Wil-
liam Nylander, came up. Espe-
cially when Nylander and the
rest of the Leafs’ top line is com-
pared to the Bruins’ big three,
Bergeron, Marchand and David
Pastrnak.
“At this time of the year, we’ve
talked a lot about this in our
room, it’s great to have skill but
without will, nothing happens.
You’re just out there,” Babcock
said.
When the puck dropped to
start the game, the Leafs players
came out with the determination
their coach was talking about.
Nylander must have been listen-
ing, because by the end of the
second period he and Matthews
were flying like it was the regular
season.
The Leafs’ defence, while im-
proved, still had the habit of
throwing pizzas across the mid-
dle of the defensive zone. There
were at least three giveaways in
the first period, two by the de-
fence, and in the first two games
the Bruins would surely have put
those pucks in the net.
Another big difference from
the first two games was the spe-
cial-teams play. The Leafs man-
aged to stay out of the penalty
box in the first 40 minutes,
which was enough to finally put
a dent in the Boston power play.
Then the Leafs scored a first-
period power-play goal thanks to

Bruins centre Riley Nash when
he may or may not have sent the
puck directly over the glass.
James van Riemsdyk, another of
the absent ones, scored one of
his patented redirects in front of
the net at 17:07.
Not only was it the first goal of
the game, it was the first time
the Leafs held a lead in the series
and it was their second power-
play goal in eight chances.
Things grew tighter in the sec-
ond period, a little tighter than
they should have thanks to goal-
tender Frederik Andersen. He
made a great glove save on David
Krejci to start the period but
then let a routine shot from the
point by Boston defenceman
Adam McQuaid squeeze be-
tween his legs to tie the score.
A few seconds later, Marleau
and Marner got the lead back for
the Leafs on a nice two-on-one
with Marleau finishing on a great
pass from Marner. But Andersen
committed the cardinal sin for
goalies – he let in another softie
after his teammates worked
mightily to get the lead back.
Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara
bounced a shot off Andersen’s
helmet from in close for the goal.
Fortunately for the Leafs, Mat-
thews and Nylander stepped for-
ward in the last half of the period
with their best work of the series.
Matthews put the Leafs back in
front, 3-2, with a great shot on a
great feed from Nylander at 14:42.
It was his first goal of the series.
Andersen redeemed himself
in the first minute of the third
period when the Leafs took their
first penalty. Familiar culprits
Ron Hainsey and Nikita Zaitsev
let Rick Nash and Pastrnak get
loose in front but Andersen
made a great save on Pastrnak
and the Leafs managed to kill the
penalty. Then he saved a sure
goal with two minutes to go, div-
ing backward to get the blade of
his stick on a shot.

with 11 wins in their final 12 regular-season
games, last experienced consecutive losses
March 13-15 and have lost back-to-back
games just three times since January.
“They have a real clear idea of what their

we’re at our best.
“So, we have a real clean understanding
of what it is we do well and what we need to
have happen. So we can get back to it pret-

heavily in November when Mason dealt

Rogers Centre hole forces Jays raincheck

Postponed game against
Kansas City makes
three straight Toronto
matchups rescheduled
because of weather
ROBERT MACLEOD TORONTO
The Toronto Blue Jays were
counting on a return to the sup-
posedly comfortable confines of
Rogers Centre on Monday night
as a welcome respite from the
nasty weather that dogged them
on their just-completed road
trip.
Instead, the rain and sleet
storm that has ravaged Toronto
and Southern Ontario through-
out the weekend resulted in sev-
eral leaks in the roof of the
domed facility.
As a result, the Blue Jays were
forced to cancel their first game
of a three-game set against the
Kansas City Royals because of
safety concerns.
The game will now be played
on Tuesday afternoon, beginning
at 3:07 p.m., as part of a tradi-
tional doubleheader.
For the Blue Jays, it meant an-
other day on the sidelines, as
their final two games over the
weekend in Cleveland against
the Indians also had to be post-
poned because of wretched
weather conditions.
The Royals learned first-hand
about the dangerous nature of
the weather as they were head-
ing from Toronto Pearson Inter-
national Airport on two buses to
their hotel downtown on Sunday
night. A large chunk of ice flew
off the lead bus and crashed into
the windshield of the second,
shattering it. Fortunately, nobody
was seriously hurt.
Upon arrival at Rogers Centre
midafternoon on Monday, a
large tear in the roof over deep
right field was easily discernible.
On the field, three large tarps
were spread out to keep any wa-
ter from the artificial playing sur-
face.
The roof had also sprung oth-
er, smaller leaks. There were
tarps on the infield near short-
stop and others down the left-
field line. In the outfield, white
buckets and large garbage con-
tainers were also strategically

placed to catch drips from small-
er tears. But it was the gaping
hole in right field, believed to
have been caused by ice falling
from the adjacent CN Tower, that
was the biggest concern.
Andrew Miller, the Blue Jays
executive vice-president of busi-
ness affairs, was actually on the
field on Monday morning with a
couple of other building-mainte-
nance employees when the dam-
age occurred.
“We saw it happen – it was
pretty frightening at the time,”
said Miller, who witnessed large
chunks of ice crash to the field
below. “We knew [that] should
there have been a game going on
at the time, that that would have
been a risk to players and the
fans.”
By late afternoon, that hole
had been patched up by stadium
employees who braved the ele-
ments on the roof to make re-
pairs.
Still, the decision was made to
cancel the game, although that
was not made public until just
after 5:30 p.m. – about 90 min-
utes before game time.
“We were doing everything we
possibly could to try and get the
game in,” Miller said.
The last time a baseball game
had to be called off at Rogers
Centre was April 12, 2001, coinci-
dentally also against the Royals,
after two of the panels that make
up the retractable roof collided,
spewing debris all over the turf.
Fans who purchased tickets to
Monday’s game directly from the
Blue Jays will be allowed to ex-
change their tickets and pick one
from a series of nine games – all
on Mondays or Tuesdays. Fans
with tickets to Tuesday’s origi-
nally scheduled game will be
able to attend both games of the
doubleheader.

Ibaka: ‘He’s been through the fire, you can’t put a dollar value on that’
FROM B13
“When I play with [Jonas Valanci-
unas] in the paint, we understand
each other more now. It feels
more normal now,” Ibaka said.
The Raptors shot 16 three-
pointers in the Game 1 win, and
Ibaka accounted for three of
those on just four attempts, caus-
ing Wizards coach Scott Brooks to
call him “one of the best – if not
the best – big-man shooter in the
league.”
Brooks will surely make Game
2 adjustments to better account
for Ibaka, whom he had coached
on the Oklahoma City Thunder
from 2009-2016.
During that time, Ibaka had
twice been the league’s leading
blocker and made the NBA all-de-
fensive first team three times.
Back then, though, he wasn’t
shooting threes at the same clip
he is now.
“He’s a guy who gives us defen-
sive versatility. He can shot-block,
he can step out and shoot a three,
he can dunk,” Lowry said.
“He gives us something that we
haven’t had.
“We had Patrick Patterson,
who could do some of the things,
but not on the defensive end. He
could shoot the ball as well as
Serge, but Serge has given us that
consistency to shoot the ball well
and do it on the defensive end al-
so.”

can lean on the experience of a

NFL to prohibit use of 10 helmet models

BARRY WILNER NEW YORK
For the first time, the NFL is pro-
hibiting certain helmets from be-
ing worn by players.
In notifying the 32 teams on
Monday, the league has sought to
have players stop using 10 helmet
varieties. Some, particularly
those manufactured by Rawlings,
are no longer being made and
don’t have support from the com-
pany. Others were found to be in-
ferior to many of the 34 helmets
the NFL and the players union ex-
amined.
Previously, NFL players could
choose any helmet as long as it
passed certification standards.
Six of the substandard helmets
are prohibited immediately,
while the other four may be worn
by players who used them in 2017,
but not by new players.
The 10 helmets are Rawlings
Impulse and Impulse+, Quan-
tum and Tachyon; SG Varsity and
SG 2.0; Schutt Vengeance Z10
(model 204100), Air XP (model
789002) and Air XP Pro (model
789102); and Riddell VSR-4 (mod-
el R41133). About 200 players used
those helmets last season.
“Over the last few years, we’ve
seen some dynamic changes in
the helmet industry, both from
new innovators as well as new
helmets and models from incum-
bent companies,” said Jeff Miller,
the NFL’s senior vice-president of
health and safety policy.
“There are a number of hel-
mets for players to move to, from
those that rank poorly in per-
forming to the ones in the higher
ranking.
“The purpose of the continua-
tion to rank helmets and the joint
decision with the players’ associ-
ation to prohibit is to increase
that movement into better-per-
forming helmets. We are encour-
aged this is an important step for
better player safety.”
A survey of players revealed at
least 98 per cent used one or
more of the 34 helmet models
tested. Data also showed that
concussions were up in the NFL in
2017 to 291.
Laboratory testing showed
that the VICIS Zero 1 models of
2017 and 2018 rate best for player
safety. A chart specifying top-to-
bottom rankings for the 34 hel-
FIVE-TIME PRO BOWLER JAMES HARRISON RETIRES
Long-time Pittsburgh Steelers
linebacker James Harrison is
taking a second crack at retire-
ment.
The five-time Pro Bowler and
2008 NFL Defensive Player of
the Year announced via In-
stagram early on Monday that
he is stepping away from the
game following a 15-year career.
Harrison, who turns 40 next
month, posted a collage of
pictures of his two sons and
noted he’s “missed way too
much for way too long … and
I’m done.”
Harrison played nearly his
entire career with the Steelers
mets is posted at every team’s
training facility.
“We’ve begun to see that over
the last couple of years players
[are] moving from helmets that
rank in the poorly performing ar-
eas to those that are ranging clos-
er to the top-performing
and the 84.5 sacks he collected
with the black-and-gold are a
franchise record. He spent the
2013 season in Cincinnati and
signed with New England late
last season, appearing in all
three playoff games for the
Patriots, including their Super
Bowl loss to Philadelphia.
This is the second time Harri-
son has called it quits. He retired
briefly in September, 2014, only
to be lured back to the Steelers.
He remained productive into his
late 30s, registering at least five
sacks from 2014-16.

helmets,” Miller said.
The 2018 Zero1 was the only
new helmet model tested this
year.
“We’re demonstrating our
commitment by setting the pace
for innovation and safety,” said
Dave Marver, chief executive offi-
cer of VICIS, which has been mak-
ing helmets for only four years.
Marver estimated 70 players were
using the Zero1 by the end of the
2017 season, and he expects “200
or more” to be in them before the
coming season kicks off.
“We already have players in
400 high schools across the coun-
try who have ordered the helmet,
and we expect 50-plus colleges to
have them,” Marver added. “Last
year we had about 20.”
Marver believes a reduced hel-
met price from US$1,500 a year
ago to US$950 by the end of last
season – a drop enabled by higher
volumes and lower manufactur-
ing costs – and a reduction in
weight by a half-pound added to
the Zero1’s popularity.
As for its high ranking, “players
feel better when they are hit, they
don’t feel an impact as much.
They say they don’t get headach-
es, don’t have those ‘seeing stars
moments.’ Like how the helmet
fits so when they move their
heads it tracks really well. And
there’s the wider field of view our
helmet provides.”

Djokovic happy for painless win at Monte Carlo

JEROME PUGMIRE MONACO
After easing into the second
round of the Monte Carlo Mas-
ters on Monday, a relieved Novak
Djokovic said his troublesome
right elbow no longer bothers
him.
Djokovic beat fellow Serbian
Dusan Lajovic 6-0, 6-1. He won
on his first match point,
whipped off his hat, tilted his
head back and raised his hands
in triumph.
The joy was less because of
the first-round victory – he is a
two-time champion here, after
all – but more because his injury
didn’t resurface.
“I thought it was good consid-
ering the amount of matches I’ve
played. I mean, I [have] played
probably six, seven matches
since Wimbledon last year,” said
Djokovic, who next faces Borna
Coric of Croatia. “So after two
years, finally I can play without
pain.”
He came to the tournament
with a 3-3 match record this year,
losing his previous three since
the Australian Open. This
month, he stopped working with
Andre Agassi and Radek Stepa-
nek, the latest in a series of
coaching changes for the 12-time
major champion. Djokovic stop-
ped working with Boris Becker in
December, 2016, and fired long-
time coach Marian Vajda shortly
before bringing Agassi aboard.
Now, Djokovic has come full
circle and is working with Vajda
again, albeit in an informal
coaching capacity since they do
not have a long-term agreement.
Djokovic sees him as part
coach, part confidant.
“He’s more like a brother, a fa-
ther … someone I can share a lot
of things with, whether it’s pro-
fessional or private life,” Djokov-
ic said. “He’s always there for me,
knows me inside out. He knows
what I need in order to get to the
highest possible level of play.”
Djokovic took the second half
of last year off and then had a
medical procedure in February.
Then he lost his opening match-
es in March at Indian Wells – to a
qualifier ranked outside the top
100 – and Miami.
“I might have rushed my deci-
sion to play a little bit,” Djokovic
said. “Playing well below the de-
sired level, it wasn’t easy for me
to cope.”
Other winners included Ro-
berto Bautista Agut of Spain, Mi-
los Raonic of Canada, Andrey
Rublev of Russia and Albert Ra-
mos-Vinolas of Spain.

Chan announces retirement from skating

Olympic medalist says
he feels ‘good and light’
in wake of decision
to stop competing
LORI EWING
In Patrick Chan’s perfect future,
he’s running a skating school in
Vancouver with girlfriend Liz Put-
nam, the two are living in a mil-
lion-dollar apartment in the city’s
lovely Kitsilano neighbourhood
and he’s enjoying a wildly suc-
cessful career in commercial real
estate.
It’s been two months since
Chan took one final spin around
the competitive rink, but the
three-time world champion has
barely paused to reflect. He’s lov-
ing looking forward.
“I’m just running around town
doing what I want to do, and mov-
ing on with a huge smile on my
face. I feel good and light,” Chan
said, ahead of Monday’s retire-
ment announcement.
“I had three or four things lined
up that I wanted to just learn
about, and that’s what I’m doing.
I’m meeting people and picking
their brain and understanding
what life is like. I don’t think I had
any sense of that when I was in
the competitive world. It’s awe-
some. I’m just a sponge again. I’m
just absorbing and learning.”
The 27-year-old from Toronto,
who sat out a season after the 2014
Sochi Olympics, was ninth in
men’s singles at the Pyeongchang
Olympics. But his terrific long
program in the team event all but
guaranteed Canada gold before
dance duo Tessa Virtue and Scott
Moir even stepped on the ice.
If he’d had any doubts about
the comeback, that golden mo-
Canadian figure skater Patrick Chan announces his retirement in the CBC building in Toronto on Monday.
Chan says he now wants to open a skating school with his girlfriend. COLE BURSTON/THE CANADIAN PRESS
ment erased them.
“It would have been easy to be
complacent and say, ‘I don’t care,
I’m just here to support the team
and be a part of it,’ and I could’ve
fallen back and said, ‘I’ll let Tessa
and Scott help me through this.’ I
knew that this was my chance to
shine and chance to prove I still
had something to give.
“When I sat in that kiss and cry
with my two different coaches
right next to me smiling and hav-
ing the entire team behind me as
well, and having them all react to
me winning … gosh, that was a
better feeling I think than win-
ning individual gold. It’s a huge
rush to see all these people that
are genuinely smiling, and genu-
inely cheering, and they’re ecstat-
ic, that’s so cool. To be able to say,
‘I did it, we did it,’ that’s a very, ve-
ry special feeling.”
Chan had planned his retire-
ment announcement for Sunday
at Flat Rock Cellars in Jordan, Ont.
Chan launched his ice wine “On
Ice” in partnership with Flat Rock
in 2015. But the weekend’s ice
storm forced a rescheduling to
Monday in Toronto.
The 10-time Canadian cham-
pion considered retiring after his
heartbreaking silver-medal per-
formance at the 2014 Sochi
Games. And while his return
wasn’t what he’d envisioned, he’s
glad he came back.
“It wouldn’t have been fair to
end after 2014, because I didn’t re-
ally have a good understanding of
who I was and what my aspira-
tions were and what I wanted
from the sport. It just didn’t feel
fulfilling, skating didn’t fulfil me
completely.
“Now I basically have three
highlights to my life: doing shows
[such as Stars on Ice], getting fa-
miliar with the commercial real
estate world, which has been a lot
of fun, and finally the third dream
would be to have the skating rink
going and building a skating pro-
gram,” Chan said.
“I say to myself, ‘Let’s see how
everything unfolds one thing at a
time. … That’s a reason why this
time around just feels right. It
wouldn’t have felt right after So-
chi.”
If there are any regrets, it’s that
he played his cards too early be-
fore Sochi. Chan dominated
men’s skating for three years be-
fore those Olympics, and when
Chan added two quadruple
jumps, the rest of the world fol-
lowed suit, and eventually took
the quad brigade a step further.
American Nathan Chen does six
quads in his long program.
“I hate going backwards, but if
there is one regret … I would have
been more strategic about adding
the quads to the program, and
built it one step at a time,” Chan
said.
Moir described Chan as a skat-
er best appreciated live.
“On TV, you can’t feel your hair
blow back when you are close to
him on the ice, because he has so
much speed and command,”
Moir said.
Chan will be known for his
strength and speed on the ice, but
also for artistry and exquisite
skating skills that he hopes didn’t
single him out as a dying breed in
the sport.
“At the end of the day, the foun-
dation of it all is the joy of skating
and the glide and the power,
that’s what’s amazing,” Chan
said.
To that end, Chan and his girlf-
riend, a skating coach and former
pairs skater, envision opening a
skating school much like the
Cricket Club in Toronto, and have
already started laying the ground-
work.
“That’s the dream … a base for
young coaches in the area to
come, and brainstorm and chat
about skaters, how we can make a
certain skater better, and make it
an individualized curriculum for
each skater, and most important-
ly a fun environment for both
skater and coach.”

Desiree Linden records

shocking win in Boston
KYLE HIGHTOWER BOSTON

After slogging through just a few miles of icy rain and a near-
gale headwind that made her feel as though she was running
in place, Desiree Linden decided she’d seen enough of the
Boston Marathon for another year.
“My hands were freezing, and there are times where you
were just stood up by the wind. It was comical how slow you
were going, and how far you still had to go,” Linden said.
“At six miles I was thinking, ‘No way, this is not my day.’ ”
she said. “Then you break the tape and you’re like, ‘This is not
what I expected today.’ ”
A two-time Olympian and the 2011 Boston Marathon run-
ner-up, Linden decided to stick around, outlasting the weath-
er and the rest of the field to win the race’s 122nd edition on
Monday in 2 hours 39 minutes 54 seconds. That was more than
four minutes better than second-place finisher Sarah Sellers
but the slowest time for a women’s winner in Boston since
1978.
Yuki Kawauchi splashed through the pelting rain, chilly
temperatures and wind that gusted as high as 50 kilometres
an hour to win the men’s race, passing defending champion
Geoffrey Kirui in Kenmore
Square to earn Japan’s first Bos-

Krista DuChene of Canada crosses the finish line in third place at the Boston Marathon on Monday. The mother

Canadian Krista DuChene finishes
third in women’s Boston Marathon
DAN RALPH
Mother Nature offered Canadian
Krista DuChene a competitive
advantage Monday at the 2018
Boston Marathon.
The 41-year-old from Strathroy,
Ont., battled a steady headwind
exceeding 40 kilometres an hour
and icy rain to finish third in the
women’s race. The mother of
three, running in Boston after a
13-year absence, finished the 26.2-
mile (42.2 kilometre) race in 2
hours 44 minutes 20 seconds.
American Desiree Linden won
the event in 2:39:54, but DuChene
said the miserable weather con-
ditions played in her favour.
“Definitely, there’s no way I
can beat so many of those wom-
en in the elite field on a good
day,” DuChene said in a tele-
phone interview from Boston. “It
was miserable.
“Windy, cold, I think there was
hail at the start, rain. It was a
women’s-only start, so there was
a time when I was with the
group, but then for most of it I
ran on my own. But our Canadian
winters prepare us for days like
this.”
The inclement weather also
forced DuChene, who was 35th in
the women’s marathon at the
2016 Rio Olympics, to concen-
trate more on her placing than
time. However, she had no idea
of what she’d accomplished
when she crossed the finish line.
“My goodness, I never thought
I’d place third at the Boston Mar-
athon so, yes, it definitely exceed-
ed my expectations,” she said. “I
knew I was strong and my plan
was to roll with the hills when
they came and to mentally tell
myself the race wouldn’t start un-
til the hills started, so that was
ideal for today.
“My goal was as soon as I saw a
woman to try and get her. See an-
other woman, try to get her. Over
the last five kilometres, there
were so many women I passed
that I had no idea what hap-
pened when I finished. I was hop-
ing I was top 10 but you’re just not
doing the math because you just
don’t know.”
The only Canadian woman to
win the race was Jacqueline Ga-
reau in 1980. Canada also earned
a top-10 finish in the men’s event
with Hamilton’s Reid Coolsaet
finishing ninth in 2:25:02 as Yuki
Kawauchi became the first Japa-
nese man to win the marathon
since 1987.
Initially disappointed with a
slow time, Coolsaet was pleasant-
ly surprised he had achieved his
goal of a top 10.
“That was rough and absolute
carnage,” Coolsaet said in an In-
stagram post. “When I crossed
the line I was happy it was over
but pretty bummed that I was so
slow. Five minutes later someone
told me I was ninth and that put a
smile on my face.”
DuChene said she ran Mon-
day’s race for her family – 12-year-
old Micah, Seth, 10, and Leah, 7 —
but also the victims of the April 6
bus crash involving the Hum-

Wheelchair winners Marcel Hug of Switzerland and American
Tatyana McFadden, both five-time champions, said they were
unable to see through the spray that spun off their wheels.
On the fifth anniversary of the finish-line explosions that
killed three and wounded hundreds more, Linden became
the first American woman to win since Lisa Larsen Weiden-
bach in 1985 – before the race began offering prize money that
lured the top international competitors to town.
Linden nearly ended the drought in 2011 when she was out-
kicked down Boylston Street and finished second by two sec-
onds. This time she made the turn off of Hereford with a lead
of more than half of a mile.
“Probably 2011 is what put the fear in me,” Linden said.
“That sprint battle is not super fun. It was nice to get it right
down Boylston this time, that’s for sure.”
A 34-year-old California native who lives in Michigan, Lin-
den said she was so broken by the weather that she wanted to
drop out after a couple of miles, but instead stuck around in
case she could help one of her fellow Americans.
When four-time Olympian and reigning New York City
Marathon champion Shalane Flanagan fell behind after need-
ing a bathroom break, Linden let her draft so she could catch
up to the pack. Later, she helped Molly Huddle reconnect with
the group.
“And it turned out I was in third, and I thought, ’Well, I prob-
ably shouldn’t drop out,” said Linden, who also earned
US$150,000.
Sellers, who finished 4:10 behind, is a full-time nurse who
had to train before or after work – at 4 a.m. or 7 p.m. She said
didn’t believe it when she was told she had finished second, or
that she earned US$75,000.
“Yeah, I’m in shock about that,” she said. It was the second
competitive marathon for Sellers, who was a distance runner
at Weber State.

TORONTO
oronto FC’s Jonathan Oso-
T rio says the team has the
chance to start a seismic
shift in North American club soc-
cer.
Toronto opens the first leg of
the CONCACAF Champions
League final on Tuesday night at
BMO Field against Liga MX side
C.D. Guadalajara. Mexican clubs
have owned this competition for
years, but Osorio hopes Toronto’s
success thus far will rub off on
other Major League Soccer teams.
“I think it’s pretty clear that an
MLS club hasn’t won this compe-
tition since the change in the for-
mat, since it became CONCACAF
Champions League, so to be the
first to do that would be huge,”
Osorio said. “I think for it to really

ed States] and Canada, MLS clubs
will have to continue to win this
tournament, because the Liga

a head start of winning this tour-

Relegation looms over Stoke after last-minute
equalizer forces 1-1 draw with West Ham
LONDON
Andy Carroll scored a 90th-min-
ute equalizer for West Ham to
draw with relegation-threatened
Stoke 1-1 in the English Premier
League and come to teammate
Joe Hart’s rescue after the goal-
keeper’s latest error on Monday.
Stoke was close to a huge win
in its fight to avoid the drop
when Carroll, who had been on
the field as a substitute for just
four minutes, met a left-wing
cross with a crisp volley into the
bottom corner.
That strike spared the blushes
of Hart, whose fumble allowed
Peter Crouch – another second-
half substitute – to put Stoke
ahead in the 79th at the Olympic
Stadium.
A victory for the visitors would
have seen them move to within
three points of safety and keep
the other teams, and of course
ourselves, that belief that it can
be done.”
Mexican clubs have won every
CONCACAF Champions League
since the first tournament in
2008, while seven of the nine fi-
nals have been all-Liga MX
matches.
Real Salt Lake (2011) and the
Montreal Impact (2015) are the
previous two MLS clubs to reach
the final. Toronto made it as far
as the semi-finals in 2011-12.
TFC, the reigning MLS Cup
champions, earned a berth in the
tournament final after dispatch-
ing MLS side Colorado Rapids
along with Mexican clubs Tigres
and Club America.
C.D. Guadalajara, better
known as Chivas, has won the
Mexican title a record 12 times
and won the Champions League
in 2015 and 2016.
Entering Tuesday’s first leg, the
Reds will have to be aware of
Guadalajara’s unique defending
style.
“Once they decide to initiate
pressure, they get very personal,
man-on-man marking, they will
track guys all around the field,
they’re very disciplined in that,”
TFC coach Greg Vanney said.
“They are very good at the indi-
vidual marking in terms of taking
up good angles and taking up
good marking positions and
moving with guys.
“That way, they’re unique.

five points to make up in its final

“The goal was a kick in the

Carroll last played for West
Ham more than three months
ago, with an ankle injury depriv-
ing the team of its target man up
front. As usual, he caused havoc
after coming on, and his goal is
likely to prompt calls for his in-

Morocco’s
bid for 2026
World Cup
hides ban on
homosexuality
ROB HARRIS
A FIFA task force arrived in Moroc-
co on Monday to inspect a World
Cup bid that obscures one poten-
tial impediment to hosting the
2026 soccer showpiece:
Homosexuality is a criminal of-
fence in the North African coun-
try.
An Associated Press review of
483 pages of documents submit-
ted to FIFA found Morocco failed
to declare its anti-LGBT law as a
risk factor and provide a remedy,
appearing to flout stringent new
bidding requirements.
“Morocco’s human-rights re-
port presented to the FIFA is an in-
tentional silence on an issue that
Morocco knows too well is a crime
on its soil,” Ahmed El Haij, presi-
dent of the Moroccan Association
for Human Rights, told the AP.
“It is evident that if Morocco
was to host the World Cup, LGBT
people coming to watch the
games will face a lot of discrimina-
tion. The state will not be able to
protect them nor will it be able to
commit in preventing measures
that could be taken against them
by both the state and society.”
Under Article 489 of the Moroc-
can penal code, sexual acts be-
tween people of the same sex are
punishable by six months to three
years in prison.
While World Cup hosts could
previously largely shake off con-
cerns from activists, FIFA has
demonstrated a growing aware-
ness in recent years of how rights
abuses can affect its events.
World Cups must be in environ-
ments free of “discrimination
based on sexual orientation,” FI-
FA secretary-general Fatma Sa-
moura wrote to activists last year
discussing the coming tourna-
ment in Russia. Samoura’s letter
reflected a policy incorporated in-
to the world soccer statutes in 2013
as scrutiny of human rights
mounted in Russia and 2022
World Cup host Qatar.
“Under the new non-discrimi-
nation requirements under FIFA’s
statutes and under the Human
Rights Policy, one of the red lines
is anti-gay activity laws or poli-
cies,” Human Rights Watch direc-
tor of global initiatives Minky
Worden told the AP.
Unlike when Russia and Qatar
emerged victorious in the 2018-22
FIFA bidding contest eight years
ago, prospective hosts for the
2026 tournament were mandated
to commission independent hu-
man-rights reports and provide
frank risk assessments that form
part of the task force’s evaluation.
While the United States-Cana-
da-Mexico bid chose to publish its
human-rights documents, Mo-
rocco repeatedly refused requests
from the AP to match the disclo-
sure. The Morocco bid’s interna-
tional communications team also
declined to provide any LGBT pol-
icy or how the criminalization of
same-sex relations would be ad-
dressed during a potential World
Cup.
The AP was provided with the
human-rights annexes to Moroc-
co’s bid book by FIFA only after
highlighting the North African
country’s lack of transparency to
the soccer world and the up to 207
member countries who will vote
on the 2026 host on June 13.
There is a solitary passing refer-
ence to LGBT rights in the main
381-page bid book: a narrowly
worded pledge by the Moroccan
soccer federation to “work to
combat all forms of discrimina-
tion” including “sexual orienta-
tion,” signed by its president, Fou-
zi Leekjaa.
There is no mention of homo-
sexuality being a criminal offence
in the bid book, nor in the 27-page
executive page executive sum-
mary.
Significantly, it is also omitted
from the 33-page human-rights
strategy in which bids were told
by FIFA to own up to “adverse im-
pacts” and provide mechanisms
to address them.
“It trips you up in a bid like this
because then you are submitting
documents that don’t accurately
reflect the human-rights situa-
tion in your own country,” Word-
en said. “And you have missed an
opportunity to engage the stake-
holders who will come back to
criticize you if you don’t uphold
international human rights.”
Morocco’s only acknowledg-
ment that homosexuality is out-
lawed comes within one sentence
in a 42-page – nominally inde-
pendent – “study on the human
rights situation.”

HELEN JEAN LONG
(nee Crowther)
Surrounded by her family, Jean
died on April 13, 2018, at the age
of 80. She was born in Toronto,
attended Havergal College and
graduated from Victoria College at
University of Toronto. A lifelong
Torontonian, proud and loving
wife, mother, grandmother, and
friend. Jean was married for 58
years to Stephen Long; mother to
Mary Eleanor, Stephanie (Greg),
and Alex (Neel); and grandmother
to Hannah and Thomas. Her sister,
Mary Thompson predeceased her.
Whether through cross-Canada
camping adventures, visiting her
children in far-flung places, global
travel with Stephen and friends,
or spending time at her beloved
schoolhouse, Jean’s caring, loving
and adventurous spirit was always
in evidence. She was a keen
sportswoman and was at various
times a champion runner, swim
team captain, badminton and
tennis player, jazz dancer, and
more recently, aquafit aficionado.
Her strong Christian values and
urge to help others led to a life of
volunteerism - Brownies and Girl
Guides, Delisle Youth Services,
Churches-on-the-Hill food bank
and especially with her church
family, at Calvin Presbyterian
Church. Later in life, she enjoyed
a second career teaching adult
high school to new Canadians.
Her retirement party was a large
gathering, attended by many
students who had been touched
by her passion, hard work and
dedication. But Jean’s family
was always her biggest source of
pride and joy.
The family will receive friends at the

Dad was born January 31, 1924,
and passed away peacefully on
April 12, 2018, surrounded by his
family. Loving husband of Nan
McPhun for 68 years; and father to
Catherine McPhun Beatty (Stuart
Wason) and Lyndy McPhun (Anne
Green). Adored Papa to Caitlin
Beatty (Peter Stewart) and Daniel
Beatty. Predeceased by his sister,
Mary Elizabeth McPhun, 2011.
Following his training and serving
with the RCAF, Dad began his
career with Imperial Oil, and
moved to the financial sector
where he worked for Nesbitt
Thomson as a greatly admired
and respected stockbroker for
over 40 years. He was well known
for his integrity and business
acumen and helped many people
achieve their financial security
and dreams. He also served as a
mentor to many in the industry.
He was an avid fly fisherman and
founding member of the Cuckoo
Valley Fishing Club - the irony of
this was not lost on his family.
Dad loved to play the piano and
could play anything by ear. His
favourite spot in the world was the
cottage at Whitefish Lake, which
he and Nan built and enjoyed
every summer for the past 50
years, fishing, sailing and hosting
lifelong friends and family. He
made his own wine for a short
time, a hobby he mercifully gave
up after a few years. He and Mom
travelled extensively during their
life together and were active
participants in the LLR program at
Glendon College, always staying
interested in life.
Dad volunteered at the Yonge
Street Mission for years and
gave generously to many
charities that were near
and dear to him and Mom.
Dad was a charming character,
soft spoken - a true gentleman.
Thank you to the wonderful and
caring staff at Amica Barrie for
their compassion and support.
He will be greatly missed by his
family. We love you Dad.
A celebration of his outstanding

DEATHS
GRE TA YE LOVICH
After years of fighting a
progressive illness, Greta
Yelovich, passed away peacefully
at 3:00 a.m. on Friday, April 13,
2018. Born on August 17, 1925
in Bras d’Or, C.B., Nova Scotia
of Francis Cantwell and Mary
Cantwell (nee McGrath). She was
the tenth of eighteen children.
Trained as a registered nurse,
she was shipping out to serve
overseas when World War II
ended. Moving to Ontario with
her husband, Peter Yelovich,
she went on to rise from Head
Nurse, to Ward Head, and then
into the top echelons of Hospital
Administration. But dissatisfied
with the direction of care
developing with the Government
takeover of hospitals; Greta
teamed up with her husband to
found Canadiana Towers Limited.
With the dynamic combination
of her financial administration
and his leadership in acquisition
and renovation, this real estate
development and management
company expanded, prospered
and is active to this day. Greta
continued at the company
helm as Secretary-Treasurer into
her eighties.
Accomplishments aside, my
mother was a woman of
great charm and an extremely
cooperative nature. She had an
impeccable character, an iron
will, and absolute dedication to
duty, work and faith. Generous
but prudent, she was a brilliant
organizer and a diligent steward
of whatever she undertook:
whether nursing, business or
motherhood.
She is predeceased by her
younger son, Craig, and her
husband, Peter. She is survived
by her elder son, Peter Jr. She
will be greatly missed by her
five grandchildren, Mary-Clair,

10 years since I have held you.
I have wondered if I can ever live
