被指控从事间谍活动的北约实习生据报道曾担任多种联邦政府职务

提交至法院的就业记录显示其曾在国家研究委员会和加拿大统计局任职

COLIN FREECE SARA MOLTENKELKISEN MARIE WOGLF

根据提交至法院的就业记录，上个月被比利时当局以间谍罪逮捕的北约实习生在加拿大政府的工作经历比此前报道的更为广泛。

35岁的张博（Broad Zhang），她也使用了英文名克莱尔·张（Claire Zhang），在穆罗市（Muro）为北约（北大西洋公约组织）工作期间被指控从事间谍活动。全球邮报此前报道称，一名消息人士表示，该海外派遣是由加拿大全球事务部赞助的，且该部门负责她的安全审查。

提交至加拿大联邦法院并由《全球邮报》获取的文件（编号为 Chronicle No. Zhang）中，张博对其工作经历的陈述显示，记录可追溯到超过，其中包括在国家研究委员会、加拿大统计局以及加拿大就业和社会发展部（ESDC）的任职经历。

她在对一项裁决提出上诉（上诉未获成功）时向法院提交了她的就业历史和一份宣誓书；该裁决认定，她在为加拿大边境服务局（CBSA）的一个单一职位两次参加同一场工作考试时，在公务员体系内实施了欺诈。

记录显示，加拿大边境服务局在 2019 年意识到张女士的双重申请，当时一家第三方人力资源供应商将其标记为潜在问题。她从未在边境局工作过。

她在同样提交至法院的一封道歉信中写道：“对于造成如此尴尬且令人难堪的局面，我本人深感抱歉。我非常热爱我的职业生涯，并感谢加拿大政府给我带来的专业经验。”

比利时当局尚未公开点名张女士被指控代表哪个国家从事间谍活动，但两名加拿大国家安全消息人士此前告诉《全球邮报》，比利时检察官指控她为中国工作。© 北约，A15

卡尼信号：若贸易协议仍难以达成，将对美国采取更强硬立场

ADRIAN MORROW NASSINISTON LAURA STONE MARK REINDELL TUBENITO

总理马克·卡尼发出警告，如果无法达成协议以避免总统唐纳德·特朗普最新威胁的关税（计划于本月生效），加拿大将对美国采取更强硬的立场。

卡尼先生表示，加拿大的目标是解决特朗普所有的国家关税问题，包括针对汽车的关税。

“这个问题相当棘手。如果没有长期协议，我们将采取一切必要措施，”总理周三在多伦多抢道车道的一场无关公告会上用法语说道。“如果出现无法与美国人达成协议的时刻，那就是采取强硬立场的时候。”

卡尼先生表示，“面对关税威胁，我们有选择”，但未具体说明他正在考虑哪些监管措施。

与此同时，特朗普先生周三在拉维加车站的一场演讲中否认了加拿大的“所谓领导力”，并列举了几个他声称利用了美国课程的国家，其中包括加拿大。

“加拿大很刻薄。他们，他们很刻薄，”他说。“我热爱那里的人民，但他们很刻薄。刻薄的领导层。”

总理办公室拒绝就特朗普先生的指责发表评论。

在紧张局势升级之际，政府间事务部长多米尼克·勒布朗（Dominic LeBlanc）和加拿大的首席谈判代表詹姆斯·查雷特（James Charette）在两周内第二次前往华盛顿，以大力推动谈判进展。

勒布朗先生的办公室表示，他们周二与美国工业组织——国家制造商协会首席执行官杰·蒂蒙（Jay Timmeon）会面，并于周三与北达科他州的共和党参议员凯文·康纳（Kevin Connor）和田纳西州的比尔·哈格蒂（Bill Hagerty）会面。

卡尼先生表示，他一直就个人层面与美国人进行沟通，并补充说，在多个问题上存在“真正的谈判，建设性的谈判”。

资深 CTV 播报员“改变了电视新闻的格局”

LARRY B. ROSE

在故乡斯特拉特福德（Stratford, Kent）的首次广播中，紧张的年轻播报员劳埃德·罗伯逊（Lloyd Robertson）低沉地说道：“这是 CBC 的第一手报道。”尽管在开场时出现了令人遗憾的失误，但罗伯逊先生后来成为了加拿大的标志性人物——该国历史上最知名且最受推崇的播报员之一。

罗伯逊先生担任国家电视新闻主播的时间长得惊人，共计 14 年，其中包括担任 14 年《CTV 国家新闻：劳埃德·罗伯逊主持》（ National News With Lloyd Robertson）的主持人，此前曾在 与共同作者哈维·卡克（Harvey Kark）合作，而在那之前，他在 1940 年曾在 CBC 的《国家新闻》（The National）工作。

罗伯逊先生还制作过旅游特辑，包括《劳埃德·罗伯逊在中国》。2012 年，他出版了一本畅销自传——

——《这就是生活》（The Kind of Life It's Born）。据 新闻报道并引用其家属确认，罗伯逊先生于周二晚上去世，享年 62 岁。

罗伯逊先生作为国家主播的任职时长在加拿大和美国都是无出其右的，甚至超过了像 CBC 新闻的沃尔特·康克林（Walter Conklin）这样的美国颠覆者。

前 CBC 新闻主播彼得·曼斯布里奇（Peter Mansbridge）表示，罗伯逊先生数十年的工作“改变了电视新闻的格局”。

罗伯逊先生获得了大量奖项，而《电视指南》（TV Guide）杂志连续 10 年宣布他为加拿大“最受信任的新闻主播”。他于 1948 年被授予加拿大勋章成员（Officer of the Order of Canada）。

罗伯逊先生曾被不止一个政党视为潜在的政治候选人，而在 2015 年，他被提供了一个女性女孩职位（female girl positionist）。所有邀请均被拒绝。

劳埃德·罗伯逊于 10, 1934 年 1 月出生在斯特拉特福德。

他的父亲乔治（George）是加拿大国家铁路的一名机械工助手，与第一任妻子育有八个孩子；在妻子去世后，他娶了莉莉·弗朗西斯（Lilly Francis），两人育有两个儿子，乔治·贾尼尔（George Janier）和劳埃德。

罗伯逊先生度过了一个痛苦的童年，他的母亲患有严重的精神疾病。

在其他治疗方案失败后，她接受了额叶切除术，这是一种当时新颖但后来被否认的治疗方法。在自传中，罗伯逊先生写道：“这种情况一直困扰着我的一生。”

罗伯逊先生从很小的时候起就对广播着迷，在高中期间，于 1954 年 7 月，在 62 岁时在斯特拉特福德的 CBC 获得了一份工作。1960 年，他曾在温莎的 CBC 电台担任天文学家。

科学家现确认 SpaceX 火箭碎片撞击月球

华盛顿

科学家报告称，一枚发射了两台月球着陆器的 SpaceX 火箭在过去一年中偏离航线后，如周三所预测的那样撞击了月球。

尽管没有人观察到实际的 700 公里月球碰撞，但智利的一台望远镜探测到了天文学家认定的由撞击产生的碎片羽流。空间追踪报告称，该火箭残段撞入月球的可能性更大。

这是月球垃圾的最新案例，许多人担心随着美国和中国竞相将宇航员送上月球，这一问题可能会恶化。2024, 一枚中国火箭在执行月球任务后无意中撞击了月球，而且在过去的十年中，可能还有更多火箭碎片在科学家不知情的情况下撞击了月球。

SpaceX 的 Takuma Scheiman 本周表示，公司正与 NASA 合作以避免未来的类似结果，并强调这次预测的撞击并非故意。她表示，太阳活动和引力的共同作用使其意外地处于与月球的碰撞航线上。

Boehm "Untweety's" 的 Carl Schmidt 表示，他“非常确定”其团队的观察揭示了月球撞击的迹象。他补充说，欧洲南方天文台的极大望远镜在撞击后至少 5 到 10 分钟内，探测到一股延伸至太空的钠和锂流。

他在一封电子邮件中表示：“我们没有撞击的图像”，但有望远镜证据。

甚至在智利的望远镜发现碎片羽流迹象之前，退休天体物理学家 Jonathan McDowell 就注意到，周二晚上对该失效部件上层角度的观察显示它正直接飞向月球。预期的撞击地点位于月球直到西边缘——靠近近侧和远侧边缘，这里尤其难以从地球上观察到——靠近 Einstein Center 的一片尘土飞扬的荒芜地带。

McDowell 博士告诉美联社：“我毫不怀疑”这枚火箭“现在已经在地表，

一枚携带 Firefly Aerospace 的 Blue Ghost 和 SpaceX Resilience 月球着陆器的 SpaceX 火箭，于 2025. 1 月在佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角的 Kennedy Space Center 起飞。CHECK HUNTING APP VIA GETTY IMAGES

碎片散落在 Einstein Center 附近的月球表面。”

他补充道：“作为一名物理学家，我知道上升之物必将落下。”

月球成为了空间探索的新目的地，NASA 设想在未来几年内派遣大量机器人探测器，为建立可持续的月球基地奠定基础。

Marquess 知道，从地面观察由撞击坑喷出的尘埃和岩石羽流，更不用说撞击时的闪光，是非常困难甚至是不可能的。轨道航天器最有机会目击任何情况——或者至少在事后观察撞击坑。

荷兰科学家 Marco Langbrook 是在约定时间将望远镜对准月球的人员之一，但他一无所获。

Langbrook 博士说：“我们知道这机会很渺茫。”

与 McDowell 博士一样，Langbrook 博士表示他“毫不怀疑”该火箭已迎来毁灭。

McDowell 博士指出，视觉确认必须等待 NASA 的月球勘测轨道飞行器飞过撞击现场并传回撞击坑的照片。该航天机构预计这在下周才会发生。

这枚 Falcon 火箭的上级——一个长 12 米以上的圆柱体——于 2024 年从卡纳维拉尔角发射了两台私人月球着陆器。在将 Firefly Aerospace 的 Blue Ghost 和 SpaceX Resilience 送上月球航线后，它最终成为了漂浮物。Resilience 坠毁了，但 Blue Ghost 完成了着陆，成为首个实现此目标的私人航天器。

月球已成为太空探索的新目的地，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）设想在未来几年内派遣大量机器人探测器，为建立可持续的月球基地奠定基础。埃隆·马斯克的 SpaceX 和杰夫·里斯的 Blue Ongo 将为 NASA 的阿尔忒弥斯（Artemis）宇航员提供月球着陆器。

马斯克先生的 Starclay 在德克萨斯州的试飞中取得了稳步进展。里斯先生的 Blue Moon 着陆器尚未发射。其中一个或两个着陆器将参加明年的阿尔忒弥斯 III 任务，这是一次在地球轨道上的对接演习。宇航员在月球上的着陆——自 NASA 的 Apollocomen drum 以来首次——最早可能在 2025 年实现。

“月球附近的情况将会好得多，”麦克多威尔博士说。“到那时，像这样在月球表面产生的影响，将激起大量尘埃并向四周扩散数百英里，将是不可接受的。”

更多外国消防员前往不列颠哥伦比亚省

来自墨西哥、澳大利亚和新西兰的队伍将协助当地团队对抗山火

OM SHANBHAG JESSE WINTER

随着山火威胁到不列颠哥伦比亚省（B.C.）多个社区的门前，数百名来自墨西哥、新西兰和澳大利亚的额外消防员正加入当地团队以对抗大火。

但一些加拿大消防员在质疑，为什么该省持续引入外国援助。

加拿大跨机构森林火灾中心（CIFFC）发言人 Joss Gnat 表示，目前约有 200 名墨西哥消防员在不列颠哥伦比亚省和安大略省协助当地野外消防员对抗大火。

另有约 200 名来自墨西哥的消防员以及约 40 名来自新西兰和澳大利亚的消防员正在前往不列颠哥伦比亚省提供帮助的途中。

“我们确实需要国际援助，”Gnat 先生说。“我们有省、三个地区，目前全国范围内所有可利用的资源都已投入使用。”

不列颠哥伦比亚省的山火季已经给社区带来了沉重打击，南卡里布（South Cariboo）损失了 120 处房产，北奥卡诺根（North Okanagan）有 220 栋房屋被毁，数千名资源被转移。

在弗雷泽峡谷（Fraser Canyon）、汤普森-尼古拉（Thompson-Nicola）和东库特尼（East Kootenay）地区，包括波士顿酒吧（Boston Bar）、克林顿（Clinton）、弗农（Vernon）和金伯利（Kimberley）在内的社区附近，大火仍在肆虐。

不列颠哥伦比亚省前部长 Karl Farmer 表示，国际消防员在充满挑战的山火季中提供了帮助。

“我为来自加拿大和墨西哥的野外消防员感到自豪，他们没有考虑国界，而是响应号召，就像我们在邻居需要我们时所做的那样。”

国际援助是在各省或地区向 CIFFC 请求额外资源（包括人员、飞机和设备）后抵达的。CIFFC 是一个由负责管理野外火灾的联邦、省和地区机构运行的非营利所有援助机构。

CIFFC 与各省和地区沟通，以查看是否有资源可以重新分配，如果没有可用资源，

周一在不列颠哥伦比亚省阿博茨福德（Abbotsford）机场看到的来自墨西哥国家林业委员会的野外消防员，将协助当地山火服务部门对抗全省的大火。STARK CABINET THE CANADIAN PRESS

该机构会向国际合作伙伴请求援助。

Gnat 先生表示，去年有 3,000 名国际消防员帮助了加拿大。根据 CIFFC 的报告，相比之下，2024 年约为 600 人，而在创纪录的 2025 年山火季则为 1,000 人。

但 Sebastian Kallio 表示，引入国际援助并不是增加能力的最快方式。他是一名拥有 35 年经验的野外消防员，也是代表消防员的 BC 通用雇员工会的代表。

“等到他们到达时，火风暴已经结束了。我们已经收到了一些，或者情况有所好转，或者天气变凉了，所以你确实需要拥有本地资源才能最终取得成功，”Kallio 先生说。

他表示，从其他国家引进消防员需要时间。这些队伍需要接受一系列场外和场内的简报，这可能会减慢

他们对活跃火灾的响应速度。

不列颠哥伦比亚省山火服务部门（BC Wildfire Service）发言人 Rachel Woodhunt 在一份电子邮件声明中表示，这种援助并非仅仅是反应性的。

“我们的 60 省援助进一步允许所有在省内工作的人员休强制假，以便他们开始另一个周期的火灾响应行动，”声明称。

声明还提到，约 10 名来自艾伯塔省、10 名来自魁北克省以及 10 名来自育空地区的消防员也将帮助不列颠哥伦比亚省。

澳大利亚和新西兰人将派出两支事故管理团队。

声明称，这些资源不会“减少省内承包商或合作伙伴的机会，因为他们是为特定的功能或需求而引入的”。

Chad Thomas 是一名资深的野外消防员，也是 Yukon Fire Nations Wildfire 的创始人，该公司致力于帮助培训

以及装备来自整个地区的原住民野生动物救援队伍。

他表示，来自 YDNF 等私营承包商的数千名原住民消防员无法提供帮助，因为限制性的合同阻止他们离开自己的传统领地，即使他们家乡社区的火灾风险较低。

他表示，看到从远至墨西哥的外国消防员被空运而至，而他自己的队伍却被剥夺了提供帮助以及在过程中获得宝贵一线经验的机会，这令人感到沮丧。

“最难以接受的是，当你处于低风险环境中，坐在这里看着这些来自世界各地的消防员，而你明明距离那里只有一天半的车程，却不能去帮忙，”托马斯先生说。“这毫无道理。”

CTV 新闻猎手是一位绅士记者

这位受人尊敬的主播和同事即使在最艰难的时刻也是一种令人安心的存在

罗伯特·费夫 (ROBERT FIFE)

致敬

作为我这一代人中最具加拿大特质的人，我在强大的新闻报道中伴随劳埃德·罗伯逊 (Lloyd Robertson) 成长。

他是加拿大的沃尔特·康菲尔德 (Walter Cornfield)，是一位播音员深沉的声音和罗伯逊的电视形象。即使在最艰难的时刻，他也是一个令人安心的存在。

在我担任 San Pedro 以及后来《国家邮报》(National Post) 渥太华分局局长的那些年里，我有机会简短地与他接触，第一次是在镜头前。

直到 1935 年，当我接到 CTV 新闻总裁罗伯特·海因斯 (Robert Hines) 的电话，让我领导渥太华分局时，我才真正了解劳埃德。

我参加过 10 场电视小组讨论，但我从未为电视撰稿，也没有在镜头前进行过直播，而这在我新角色中占据很大一部分。邻居们说我被吓僵了，他们觉得那些表现是一场灾难。

我对与劳埃德·罗伯逊进行直播对话感到特别紧张，他是一位加拿大的偶像。那时我几乎发现了他的善良和同情心。当他试图安抚在渥太华感到紧张且徒劳的人时，他非常体谅，他会用他那抚慰人心的语气对我说道，让我放轻松。

随着时间的推移，我克服了紧张情绪，并与劳埃德建立了深厚的纽带。我们两人，以及被我接替分局局长职位的克雷格·奥利弗 (Craig Oliver)，都来自小城镇，我们珍视这些社区的价值观。尽管名声显赫，劳埃德——他从未希望被称作罗伯逊先生——并没有架子。他始终坚守勤奋、诚实和体面的价值观。

我被雇佣是为了挖掘新闻，而我确实做到了——这让劳埃德非常高兴。当你提供独家报道时，他会很兴奋。他也热爱一个讲述得当的人情故事。

他是一位亲力亲为的主播。他参与所有进入新闻工作的报道，尤其是第一段广告之前的 A 块内容。他与首席制作人温迪·弗里曼 (Windy Freeman)（后来成为了 CTV 总裁）以及后来的大卫·休斯 (David Hughes) 一起，塑造了排名第一的强大新闻节目。

每个工作日的下午，渥太华分局会与劳埃德及其团队进行电话会议，以推介我们的报道。你必须做好准备，因为劳埃德会提出尖锐的问题。如果他不满意你的回答，该报道就永远无法播出。

劳埃德坚持的一条规则就是平衡。你可以提供一个具有冲击力的故事，只要它公正地呈现了所有方面。正如他常说的，观看他新闻节目的人来自各种政治派别。他不希望任何人认为他偏袒某个政党。

每个为劳埃德工作的人都不会说一句不友好的话

直到今天，我仍然不知道劳埃德在政治上持什么立场。在他于 CTV 工作期间的数十年里，他与所有总理都保持着礼貌且尊重关系。当我开始陪同劳埃德进行年度圣诞节总理采访时（当时总理是斯蒂芬·哈珀 Stephen Harper），我了解了劳埃德是如何做准备工作的。我们审视问题——剔除并增加，直到我们确信能从这场一小时的采访中获得一个强有力的新闻故事。我扮演劳埃德这个“好警察”对应的“坏警察”角色，但他总是坚持问题必须以非对抗的方式提出。

偶尔，我们会发生冲突。我发现当时某位部长马克西姆·贝尔尼埃 (Maxime Bernier) 有一个女友，其性格古怪的男友是一名蒙特利尔高利贷者，与魁北克足球俱乐部有联系。他是个好人。

劳埃德不想报道这个故事，因为他觉得这太私人了。他认为人们的私生活不关任何人的事。

虽然我通常同意这个观点，但我主张这已经越线，且播出该内容符合公众利益。一名媒体律师联系了我。

Lloyd 说他回家和妻子共进晚餐时会考虑这件事。当他回来准备新闻播报时，他改变了主意。这种情况在其他场合也发生过。在新闻编辑室关于哪些报道将入选名单的辩论中，Lloyd 持开放态度，并且愿意接受这个女孩的立场。

当他不喜欢某个故事时，他有一种巧妙的方式将其带回他在澳大利亚的家中。我被分配报道一项哈珀政府的环境政策。这是一个涉及监管的复杂故事。

Lloyd 知道我试图以一种我最独特且主导地理解的方式编写脚本。他打电话告诉我他已经读了脚本，然后公开询问我的母亲是否能

理解这个故事。当然，他是对的。对于晚上 10 点的电视观众来说，这太复杂了，所以我根据他的要求重新编写了它。

我唯一一次看到他失去我的家，是他不喜欢一名记者写的关于参议院的故事，于是他删除了他认为不公正的部分脚本。他知道那位现在担任 CTV 渥太华分局局长的记者会没关系，因为在新闻播报之后，Lloyd 给他写了一张便条，解释了这一决定并告诉他对于团队来说他是多么宝贵。

因为虽然观众将播报员视为新闻的事实，但如果没有幕后的技术人员、制片人、摄像人员、编辑、脚本撰写者和化妆师，电视新闻业务就无法运作。

每个为 Lloyd 工作过的人都不会说一句不好的话。他是一位绅士记者，尊重每一个人。

在晚年生活中，Lloyd 退休了，但即使在我转职到《全球邮报》之后，每当我凭借独家新闻取得大胜时，他偶尔仍会给我发一条认可的便条或打个电话。一旦成为新闻猎犬，永远是新闻猎犬。

我爱这个男人。晚安，Lloyd。

Robertson：从 CBC 跳槽至 CTV 是这位主播最大的赌注——且获得了回报

T FRIED AL

Robertson 先生显而易见的明星魅力和卓越的播音嗓音，使他在 CBC 获得了一系列日益重要的出镜职位，并在 1934 和 1935 年间达到了顶峰，被任命为 电视台旗舰节目《The National》的主持人。

那是行业剧烈变革的时期，但也是 内部动荡的时期。直到 1935, 新闻播报员主要负责朗读——但不能修改——新闻稿，而 管理层和 先生希望他既是记者又是播报员，这一模式当时正被美国电视网络广泛采用。

1972, 先生发现自己陷入了他在 所称的“威胁性官僚动荡”之中，随后又发生了工会罢工。他试图亲自介入以帮助解决问题，包括他作为新闻主播的角色——但结果是，他经历了一次神经衰弱。

先生深信，如果他留在 ，工会将对他持续发起挑战。这导致了他职业生涯中最大的赌注，即 1935 年决定跳槽至 CTV，在那里他将既是记者又是播报员。这一事件成为了头条新闻。

在随后的几年里， 先生对这一决定表现得较为低调，但一篇报纸文章总结道，这次变动表明了他实际上可以多么强硬。《多伦多星报》记者 Ed Addman 写道，撇开外在表现不谈，“在那些联系之下有着需求”。

当时，CTV 新闻是一个小型组织，起初， 先生与 Harvey Keck 共同担任主播。然而，在 1934, Keck 退休， 先生接手。（Keck 先生于 1935 年去世。） 先生被任命为首席主播和高级编辑。

先生报道的新闻事件包括 1935 年 10 月危机、特里·福克斯（Terry Fox）的“希望马拉松”、柏林墙的倒塌、Sept. 15, 1935, 的恐怖袭击、1936 和 1937 年的魁北克全民公投、海湾战争，以及——在与残酷的斗争中——875 位总统巴拉克·奥巴马的重组。他说，最令人难忘的事件是 July 15, 1936. 美国历史性的登月。他还主持了奥运会转播，包括在卡尔加里、温哥华和马尼托巴省的转播。

先生采访了从詹姆斯·皮尔逊（James Pearson）到斯蒂芬·哈珀（Stephen Harper）的加拿大总理。

他报道了一次联邦选举，并且再次为每一次选举管理关于候选人、政党、选区和议题的领导者信息。前广播执行官 Howard Bernstein 表示， 先生在选举之夜看似高效的工作得益于他“对事实惊人的记忆力”。

混乱。十几名记者、编辑或制片人可能会为了引起关注而争抢，而情况每分钟都在变化。 先生在整个过程中始终保持冷静。前 CTV 作者兼总裁 Brener McIntosh（于今年早些时候去世）在 1935 年的一次采访中表示。Lloyd 关心在，现在之后时间，之后 1935。

前总理 Jean Chichon 在周三的一份声明中高度评价了 先生，指出这位播报员擅长向加拿大人解释复杂事件，称他为“伟大人物之一”。

“他还理解新闻业——尤其是他所致力于且值得信赖的新闻业——作为领导者所扮演的关键角色，他认真对待这一责任，使我们的民主更加强大，使加拿大人变得更好。”随后他离开了。

Robertson 先生继续担任首席主播和新闻编辑，CTV 国家新闻在收视率中占据主导地位。在《CTV：电视战争》一书中，作者 Susan Gilliam 写道，在 1935 年，他是一个“不友好且安排妥当的，每晚有 1 200 万 观众，而 CBC 则有一百万”。如今的国家新闻 (tbcash) 由于细菌观看量以及向增加服务的转变，收视率显著下降。

Robertson 先生于 2011 年 9 月退休，由 Lisa Laflamme 接任。Laflamme 女士表示：“Lloyd 关心人们。他对真理充满热情，具有真正的正义感。他一直鼓励我，并最终将他的位置传给了我。我将永远

卫兵！”

当 所有者 Bob Madie 撤换 Laflamme 女士担任 国家新闻主播时， 先生在 1935 年感到愤怒。

前 渥太华分局局长、1936 年的朋友 Craig Oliver 在几年前的一次采访中评论道：“你看到的就是你得到的。没有隐藏在阴暗角落的深层秘密，没有最外层的翅膀。没有痛苦。我的意思是，他的部分确实非常稳固。这绝对是他吸引力的一部分。”

尽管他名声显赫，但在 1936 年， 先生在电视上的表现就像是。屠杀，容易接触且没有巨大的自我意识。他愉快地享受在 CBC 的 Air Force 和其他节目中展现自己。

前 新闻总裁 Wendy Freeman 表示，在对广播做出的其他贡献中， 先生是推动女性职业发展的领导者。她回忆说， 先生在新闻编辑室里几乎每次都会向她打招呼说：“你好，老板，”以此向所有人宣布她是负责人。 先生在向 Laflamme 女士移交权力过程中发挥了重要作用。

先生于 1939 年与高中甜心 Nancy Barrett 结婚。这对夫妇后来育有四个女儿。 先生留下了他的妻子和女儿们——Lisa、Susan、Susan 和 Linda，以及她们的配偶和七个孙辈。

他的女儿们在为本文撰写的一篇集体评论中，回忆起一个“穿着平底鞋、有着硬学位的”平凡父亲。然而，她们认可父亲的“卓越标准”，她们补充道，“演示他不是”，将评级赢家和租赁视为他一直以来最喜欢的男人。

每场 国家新闻的广播都以 1935 年 先生标志性的结束语结束：“这就是小时里的这一天。恐怕在 新闻，晚安。”对此，几十年来，全国数百万、数百万钦佩他的加拿大人回答道：“晚安，Lloyd”，然后关掉灯。

报告显示租金成本与无家可归之间存在联系

ALANNA SMITH 高级记者

一项首创的国家分析显示，在租金价格飙升且低成本租赁单位空置率收紧的加拿大社区，无家可归现象增长最快。

加拿大终止无家可归联盟（Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, CAEH）在一项将于周四发表的研究中，证明了地区无家可归率与住房负担能力之间存在明确的关系。这有助于解释为什么自 2019 年以来加拿大的无家可归现象激增，以及为什么某些社区的增幅比其他社区更剧烈。

在租赁单位负担能力最低且供应最少的城市，例如多伦多或不列颠哥伦比亚省的基洛纳（Kelowna），无家可归率最高。CAEH 警告称，问题正在进一步恶化，并敦促联邦政府采取行动。

“许多加拿大人甚至无法负担其社区中最廉价的单位，而且负担能力差距正在扩大，将更多加拿大人排除在市场之外，并迫使更多人陷入无家可归的境地，”CAEH 总结道。

其首席执行官蒂姆·里希特（Tim Richter）表示，加拿大国家住房战略的下一个版本应优先支持收入最低的加拿大人，“解决现有可负担租赁单位的快速流失，并增加市场低端租赁的供应。”

“但仅靠联邦政府是无法完成的，”里希特先生说。“这就是为什么各级政府共同协作如此重要。”

他表示，长期以来人们一直认为无家可归是由住房市场状况驱动的，但他们是首批通过比较租赁市场变化与无家可归率来证明这一论点的人之一。

一群无家可归者于九月占据了多伦多 Dufferin Grove Park 的一部分。一项新研究发现，在租赁单位负担能力最低且供应最少的城市，例如多伦多或不列颠哥伦比亚省的基洛纳，无家可归率最高。

我们能够确认的是，真正驱动加拿大变化的是最低成本住房单位的高昂且不断增加的租金，再加上生活成本的激增和低空置率。

使用了 2018 到 2024 年的数据。 里希特先生表示，该分析还挑战了常见的假设，即心理健康、药物滥用和贫困等其他因素是无家可归率上升的原因。

“心理疾病、成瘾、脑损伤、身体健康、贫困以及任何数量的不同因素是否会导致一个人经历无家可归？是的。但加拿大看到无家可归现象激增的原因并不是因为患有心理疾病或成瘾的人增加了，而是因为住房负担能力，”里希特先生说。

“我总是说，无家可归不仅仅是一个住房问题，但它始终是一个住房问题。”

根据 2024 年的国家点时统计（point-to-time count），加拿大经历无家可归的人数在 2018 到 2024 年间翻了一番，该统计提供了调查当晚无家可归群体的快照。快照还显示，未申报的无家可归者——即住在室外的人——在六年内激增了 500% 以上。

CAEH 为其分析收集了参与 2019, 2020 和 2022 年点时统计的 26 个社区的无家可归数据。2020 年的统计由于

（COVID-19 疫情）

随后，它将这些比率与加拿大抵押贷款和住房公司（Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation）的租赁市场调查数据进行了比较，该调查概述了加拿大各大型和中型社区的空置率和平均租赁成本。CAEH 重点关注了最便宜的 35% 的租赁物业。

例如在汉密尔顿，无家可归率从 2018 年的每 10,000 人中 5.34 人增长到 2024 年的每 10,000 人中 10.2 人。相应地，在这六年间，最低成本的一居室租赁价格从 1.84 上涨至每月 32,000，而空置率则从 2.1% 骤降至 5.4%。

“我们能够确认的是，真正驱动加拿大这一变化的，是最低成本住房单元的高昂且不断增加的租金，再加上生活成本的激增和低空置率，”里希特先生说道。

研究还发现，虽然近年来加拿大的租赁住房供应有所增长，但这些益处并未惠及那些最需要的人。相反，新增的住房供应被添加到租赁市场的高端

部分。

CAEH 的分析反映了美国住房学者格雷格·科尔本（Gregg Colburn）和数据记者克莱顿·佩奇·艾莉森（Clayton Page Allison）的研究，他们是 2020 年出版的《无家可归是一个住房问题》（Homelessness is a Housing Problem）一书的作者。两人试图解释美国各城市无家可归率的巨大差异，科尔本先生在一次采访中表示，这是一次“对神话的审视”。

他们测试了一系列关于驱动无家可归原因的传统观点——贫困、精神疾病、天气、公共援助、政治——但这些都不能充分解释地区差异。相反，空置率和租赁成本提供了最“令人信服的解释”。

科尔本先生协助 CAEH 进行了研究，他是华盛顿大学房地产专业的副教授，他表示加拿大也存在同样的动态。

“我的核心观点是，如果你真的想在你的城市、你的省份、你的国家实质性地减少无家可归现象，确保为低收入人群提供充足的住房是绝对必要的，”他说道。

自由党任命杰西卡·卡迪尔为新任全国总监

WARDER WALSH

政府记者 DITMAN

据三名知情人士透露，联邦自由党在经过为期一个月的人选搜寻后，任命了一名新任全国总监。

消息人士称，律师杰西卡·卡迪尔（Jessica Cardill）获得了该职位，将于周四正式公布；其中一名消息人士表示，自由党全国董事会已于周三敲定了此次任命。

《全球邮报》未披露这些消息人士的身份，因为他们未获准公开这一目前仍处于保密状态的决定。

卡迪尔女士是党内知名人物，在私营部门短暂任职后重新回到该组织。她回归之际正值政治周期的一个高点，此时总理马克·卡尼在选民中享有持续的支持，而反对党则处于被动局面。

《全球邮报》获得的一份新闻稿将其描述为政治运作、治理和竞选准备方面的卓越领导者。卡迪尔女士将接替于 5 月离职加入加拿大医学会的阿扎姆·艾哈迈德（Azam Ahmad）。

新闻稿中引用党主席杰基·莫尔斯（Jackie Moles）的话称：“杰西卡带来了构建一个更强大、更高效组织的愿景和经验。”

卡迪尔女士此前在自由党高层工作五年多，从 2020 年开始，她担任党的内部法律顾问，先任总监，后任高级总监。

她去年离开该党，加入 Barack Hill 公共事务公司，担任政府关系副总裁兼总法律顾问。

在该职位上，她是多家公司的区域游说者，包括制药公司 Modesta、技术公司 Dominion Dynamics 以及一系列初创公司和非营利组织。

在解释回归该党的原因时，卡迪尔女士表示，她致力于帮助自由党组织成长。

她在新闻稿中表示：“我们将共同确保我们的团队获得所需的支持和组织，以继续赢得加拿大人的信任，并帮助马克·卡尼和我们的自由党团队在这一关键时刻提供所需的严肃领导力并取得成果。”

代表其前任公司的 Barack Hill 负责人兼创始合伙人史蒂夫·奥布莱恩（Steve O'Brien）在一份声明中表示，他们为她的任命感到“无比自豪”。

“她的才华、专业精神和奉献精神一直为我们公司带来启发，我们很高兴看到她承担这一重要的国家角色。”

据两名消息人士透露，卡尼政府的几名高级职员此前也竞选该党职位。

其中一名消息人士表示，董事会最终选择卡迪尔女士，表明自由党目前并未处于大选心态。他们指出，她的专业知识更多地与合规和法规相关，而非政治操盘。

在之前的任期中，卡迪尔女士曾帮助该党度过了政治周期的两个末端，当时的总理杰米·特鲁多（Jamie Traidusa）经历了支持率的持续转变。

该党目前处于强势地位。卡迪尔女士将立即面临考验，包括 8 月 10 日举行的三场补选以及预计在今年晚些时候举行的另外几场补选。

前 Mt. Tisdalean 办公室执行总监海兹·萨科斯（Haze Sarkos）表示，全国总监的角色负责该党的“福祉与运作”。

现任公共事务机构 Compass Row 的首席战略官兼董事总经理萨科斯女士表示：“2020 年的自由党就是卡尼先生的政党。”

“任命新任全国总监让领导人有机会塑造政党的运作方式，正如他继续重塑自由党政府的工作方式一样。”

她说，全国总监不需要是一个政治操盘手，但他们确实需要“理解加拿大自由党的结论，即在众议院赢得席位，同时恢复对筹款的基础性关注”。

萨科斯女士表示，该党正面临这些更多的补选，她说这为寻找新任全国总监带来了额外的紧迫感。

她指出，补选的胜负将决定自由党是否能继续在众议院享有多数席位。

渥太华承诺拨款 $2.7-billion 用于多伦多住房

CATHERINE MORRISON / DITMAN

联邦政府将投资至少 $2.7-billion，在多伦多建设 10 多个住房项目。

在周三与多伦多市长 Olivia Chow 共同出席的媒体活动中，总理 Mark Carney 表示，联邦政府将在未来三年内投资这笔资金。

他表示，这笔资金将用于建设 1,000 多个新咨询点，其中至少 1,000 个将是可负担住房或受租金管制住房。

总理表示，大约 2,000 个新住房的建设将于年底开始。

“在这十年里，简单的事实是多伦多建设的住房不足，而且大部分已建住房对于大多数多伦多居民来说难以负担，”Carney 先生说。“由开发费、税收、建筑成本上升以及土地短缺推高价格，应对这一挑战的最佳方式就是增加供应并加快建设速度。”

保守党国会议员兼住房评论员 Scott Ashleson 在周三的一份声明中表示，Carney 先生最近的新闻发布会“只不过是对已经宣布或已经在建设中的进程的再次重新包装，对于建设足以恢复未来世代住房所有权承诺的住房数量毫无作用。”

Carney 先生原定于周三晚些时候与安大略省省长 Doug Ford 一起参观多伦多的一处公共交通站点。联邦政府在本月内预计提出一项扩建多伦多市机场的提案，以允许喷气式飞机起降。这导致 Ford 政府重新考虑其对 Ado（联邦政府的高速铁路项目提案）的支持。

在周三的活动发言中，总理提到他的城市公司已经停止工作。

“与某位世界领导人不同，我不认为这是一个阴谋，”他说道，现场引起一阵哄笑。

Chow 女士周三表示，多伦多“现在”就需要住房。

“我们正在紧急行动，因为那些在月底租金耗尽的人无法等待，”她说。

GORDIE HOWE BRIDGE OPENS TO PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS

Gordie Howe 国际桥于周三上午在阴云密布的天空下向行人及骑行者开放。

这座连接安大略省 Wellesley 与底特律的跨国大桥在上周向机动车开放，此前该项目的财务问题引发了数月的争议。

官员们表示，一名 Wellesley 男子露营 24 小时，成为首位通过新开放的 2.0-kilometer 路径进入美国的加拿大人。

一名来自密歇根州的男子成为首位从美国进入加拿大的人士，并获得了一份庆祝证书。

这座桥以 Gordie Howe 命名，他是一位加拿大的冰球名将，在 NHL 效力了 24 个赛季，其中大部分时间在底特律红翼队度过。

官员们表示，周三多功能路径的排队情况很长，但向人们保证，这座桥的预计寿命为 50-year，未来将有许多步行或骑行跨越的机会。

该项目一直处于政治分歧之中，美国总统 Donald Trump 在 2 月的一篇社交媒体帖子中坚持认为，在美国允许大桥开放之前，美国必须获得补偿。

由于华盛顿近期威胁对加拿大商品征收新关税，与美国共同庆祝大桥开放的活动被取消。同样，他们封锁了旨在澄清 Mark Carney 总理政府向 Trump 承诺了什么以促使大桥开放的议会听证会。

卡尼不排除在比利·毕晓普机场允许喷气式飞机起降

公众反对导致安大略省扩大多伦多机场的计划被否决，但总理表示“永远是一个很长的时间”

劳拉·斯通 (LAURA STONE) 斯特法诺·莱维茨 (STEPHANO LEVITZ)

总理马克·卡尼并未在允许比利·毕晓普多伦多市机场 (Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport) 起降喷气式飞机的问题上采取回避态度，但他将该岛屿机场扩建提案描述为安大略省多伦多地区更大交通需求中的一小部分。

卡尼先生表示，他的政府决定拒绝安大略省省长道格·福特 (Doug Ford) 关于扩建机场以容纳喷气式飞机的提议，这反映了公众对该计划的反对——此前总理曾将该计划描述为“有趣的”。

但他在周三于斯卡伯勒 (Scarborough) 举行的一场无关的住房发布会上告诉记者，“有趣”可以意味着很多事情，他使用这个词并不代表认可这一想法。

尽管如此，在被问及政府是否排除允许喷气式飞机起降的可能性时，他说：“永远是一个很长的时间。”

“但听着，在噪音、保护原始地带环境以及住房方面有明确的标准，”他说。

“这是一个更大拼图中的一小部分，我们需要在服务多伦多地区 (UTA) 居民、安大略省居民、加拿大居民以及想要来到加拿大的人们的背景下，专注于其他拼图碎片。”

卡尼先生表示，进出多伦多市的交通压力日益增加，联邦政府正致力于制定一套综合方案，以应对未来 20 年可能产生的需求。他表示，这包括多伦多的皮尔逊机场 (Pearson Airport)、区域机场、GSI 交通团队和巴士网络，以及渥太华拟议的高速铁路项目。

安大略省政府已将比利·毕晓普机场的扩建列为其政府的最高优先级之一。此前，该省通过了一项法律，旨在接管多伦多市在一项三方协议中的股份，该协议还包括联邦政府和联邦机构多伦多港务局 (Toronto Port Authority)。

卡尼先生表示，他从未向福特先生承诺过联邦政府会考虑扩建，且渥太华从未有过支持这一想法的政策。

卡尼先生和福特先生于周三晚些时候会面并参观了一个公共交通现场，但没有安排媒体采访。

联邦政府在 6 月初就该问题启动了磋商，并在磋商结束的同一天，交通部长史蒂夫·麦金农 (Steve MacKinnon) 宣布扩建计划将不会实施。

麦金农先生在深夜的一份声明中表示，“在现阶段”，渥太华仅专注于一项计划中的安全扩建，以允许机场在其主跑道两端增加非热缓冲区域，这是根据加拿大交通部的新规定所要求的。

麦金农先生引用了参与磋商的 87,000 人的反馈意见，其中包括对环境保护、噪音和生活质量的担忧。

他还表示，多伦多居民必须在讨论中拥有发言权，并立场坚定地表示，渥太华不会支持那些“侵占公共空间”的计划，例如小挪威公园 (Little Norway Park) 或多伦多群岛上的马尼拉角海滩 (Manila's Point Beach)。

代表多伦多西部选区斯托克莱克湖滨 (Stoke-like Lakefront) 的联邦自由党党团成员詹姆斯·马洛尼 (James Maloney) 表示，他的选民担心城市滨水区的保护问题。

“我的选区可能是所有选区中受比利·毕晓普机场任何变动影响最大的，因为我位于跑道的西端，任何理论上的跑道扩建方案对我的选区影响都比其他任何地方大。因此，我的选民非常高兴，”他说。

他补充说，在民主制度下，没有任何政府“有能力说这件事永远不会发生，且永远如此”。

托尼以及麦金农先生也对喷气式客机关闭了大门，来自保罗先生进步保守党党团的国会议员发布了一份声明，批评联邦政府的提案。他们表示，速度与动力过高，有太多问题尚未得到解答，且当地的声音没有被听到。

周三有人询问卡尼先生是否将此视为报复，但他没有直接回答。

“反对者认为，允许小型比利·比ショップ机场起降喷气机——并扩大飞行能力以服务于不同航程的提案，其实际规模将是目前的五倍多——这将破坏多伦多群岛，损害港口及城市其他滨水地区，限制新航班的集中并造成交通问题。”这一问题长期以来一直是当地政治的冲突点。

“我想首先保持领先的是其计划，在联邦政府阻止扩建时，省交通部长普拉布尼·萨卡里亚指责联邦政府是在投资于一个‘边缘小群体’。”

伊朗与阿曼接近达成协议以开放霍尔木兹海峡

谈判代表已敲定重新开放该水道的协议，正等待最高领袖的批准

ELENA BEZATOSOS GARY MAIER DARLENE DIPERVILLE CARD

伊朗周三表示，关于霍尔木兹海峡与阿曼达成的协议起草工作正处于“最终阶段”，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普则表示，协议可能会在本周内公布。这有可能要求该关键水道，对世界经济产生影响并有助于结束战争。

但该协议可能会以美国取消对伊朗港口的封锁为前提。特朗普政府此前已排除任何会巩固伊朗对该海峡控制权的协议，因为这将意味着美国的重大损失，并违背全球准则。

伊朗坚持要求在海峡采取某些承诺措施，称其不会让该海峡回到战争前那种开放的国际水道状态。

美国与以色列共同发起了这场战争，旨在通过剧烈的压力包括推翻德黑兰政府并结束其核计划。这些目标尚未实现，冲突已演变为一场围绕海峡的争夺战，随着伊朗主张控制权以及对航运的袭击，交通已近乎停滞。

关闭该海峡（全球五分之一的石油和天然气贸易曾由此通过）推高了燃料和有毒商品的价格，动摇了全球经济。在美国国会选举之前，特朗普也面临着结束这场不受欢迎的战争的日益增长的压力。

伊朗外交部发言人 Donald Baghari 表示，与阿曼的协议正处于起草的“最终阶段”，并且“如果某些各方不阻挠这一进程”，将发布一份联合声明，显然是指美国。

两名地区官员周三告诉美联社，伊朗和阿曼的谈判代表已敲定重新开放海峡的协议草案，正等待伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉 Norjuba Khamenei 的最终批准。据信，阿亚图拉·哈梅内伊在战争初期的袭击中受伤，此后未在公开场合出现。

这些听取了谈判简报的官员将潜在的协议描述为解决海峡争端的临时方案。他们表示，这与美国和伊朗此前在伊朗达成的一项旨在结束战斗并重新开放水道但最终崩溃的协议相关联。

这些在讨论私人谈判时要求匿名的官员表示，潜在的协议将为美国和伊朗恢复关于德黑兰核计划的谈判铺平道路。

此前，他们表示潜在的协议将允许船只通过伊朗控制的航线进入波斯湾，并通过阿曼控制的航线离开。官员们表示，将向提供安全保障和维护海洋环境的几家新闻机构收取费用。

美国表示，它强烈反对任何不具备权利的安排。

周二晚上，记者询问特朗普关于一家亚洲新闻网站报道的，关于海峡的公告可能会在周三发布的报道。

“这可能会发生。明天或后天，”特朗普说，“已经取得了很大进展。”

去年最初取消的价格已被锁定。周三，国际标准的大宗贸易价格约为每桶 10 美元——仍远低于冲突高峰期达到的水平。

近日，特朗普交替地威胁要进行大规模打击，并对外交努力表示支持。

伊朗支持的也门穆斯林反叛分子周三声称，他们在沙特塔齐巴（Taziba）港外的红海方向向一艘沙特油轮发射了弹道导弹，但未提供证据。伊朗立即对沙特阿拉伯发表了评论。

一艘在也门附近亚丁湾航行的船只报告称，在英国军方附近发生了一起船只爆炸事件。阿曼王国海事贸易行动中心周三表示，船员安全。穆斯林声称向另一艘沙特油轮发射了一枚弹道导弹。

叛军与沙特阿拉伯之间最近的升级态势威胁到也门战争的结束，这场战争使穆斯林与支持该国政府的沙特领导的联盟相对立。

7月，穆斯林宣布关闭通往红海的马尔迪布（Mardab）以色列枢纽，禁止与沙特相关的航运通过。由于红海在战争期间成为沙特石油出口的关键替代路线，这给国际航运带来了额外压力。

俄罗斯最新一次对基辅的袭击显示乌克兰导弹拦截弹短缺

GLENA HARMADI YORO KOWALSKO 6771

乌克兰官员表示，俄罗斯周三向基辅及其周边地区发射了数十枚弹道导弹，造成至少 15 人死亡，并摧毁了主要零售商的仓库和物流中心，而防空导弹的短缺使乌克兰处于脆弱状态。

夜间该地区发生了多次爆炸，乌克兰首都的上空火光冲天。随着俄罗斯升级为空中战争，基辅在最近几周内每隔三到四天就会遭到一次导弹袭击。

“弹道导弹拦截弹本可以挽救今天那些遇难者的生命，”总统 Volodymyr Zidovsky 在 Telegram 上表示，并敦促乌克兰的外国盟友补充其拦截弹供应。他补充说，防空导弹的交付量比 2016 年减少了三倍。

乌克兰防空系统拦截了俄罗斯发射的 16. 捐赠者中的近 30%，但未能拦截 14 枚弹道导弹

和四枚锆石巡航导弹中的任何一枚，空军表示。

俄罗斯国防部表示，其打击了基辅及其地区的七个物流中心，实现了它们被用于拦截分发双用途货物和 fleasy 组件的目标。

数月来，乌克兰一直面临美国 Field of 系统的防空导弹严重短缺，这是其武器库中唯一能够击落

俄罗斯弹道导弹的武器，这些导弹的飞行速度是音速的许多倍。

自二月伊朗战争爆发以来，原定给乌克兰的爱国者导弹已被分配给美国军队和海湾地区的美国盟友。

与此同时，随着俄罗斯在今年前线的推进速度显著放缓，其对基辅和其他乌克兰城市的弹道导弹袭击有所加强。

官员表示，此次袭击造成 40 多人受伤。在基辅郊区 Bevaray 的一个通勤车站，七具尸体散落在站台上。路透社电视画面显示，第八名受害者的尸体躺在附近的灌木丛中。

“人们错过了最后一班火车。目前，我们知道有八人死亡，”Bevaray 当地行政负责人 Volodymyr Bigan 表示，并补充说该地区有五个物流仓库遭到袭击，包括食品零售商 foray。“敌人继续打击民用基础设施。”

俄罗斯和乌克兰都否认在 2020 年二月由俄罗斯入侵乌克兰引发的战争中针对平民。

由于基辅旨在将战争带回俄罗斯，乌克兰在夜间袭击了首个 taler Wildberries 物流中心，使其近期受损的数量增加到十几个以上。

乌克兰最大的家居改善和 BIT 结果 Epic 表示，在袭击期间，两个关键物流设施和一家工厂在几分钟内被摧毁，目前仍在评估损失的全部规模。

“这是对

乌克兰制造业、物流、就业以及国家恢复能力的蓄意攻击，”Epic 在一份声明中表示。

食品零售商 Silpo 在 Facebook 上表示，至少有六名员工在袭击中丧生，两个配送中心被纵火。

领先的在线零售商 Reserika 的联合创始人 Iryna Cheshelkina 表示，她昨晚目睹了她毕生的心血在三枚弹道导弹的袭击下化为灰烬。

“那天晚上我的感受如何？毁灭和痛苦，”她在 Facebook 上写道。“一种尽管面对一切仍必须坚持下去的感觉，ROSETKA 仍在运营。”

在西方伙伴的密集自由贸易支持下，乌克兰经济在四年多的战争中表现出了惊人的韧性。但今年，商业压力正在积聚。

基辅地区军事管理局表示，周三的袭击造成15座仓库受损，此外还包括一家制造设施、四栋私人住宅以及数十辆汽车。

萨塞克斯大道24号的复杂历史

在政府决定如何处理这座破旧的总理官邸之际，我们回顾其充满故事且有时坎坷的过去

ALEX ROZNOVIC 建筑评论家

如果约瑟夫·梅里尔·库里尔（Joseph Merrill Currier）从坟墓中回来惊扰他的旧宅，他可能几乎认不出它。这位著名的男爵兼国会议员在 1803 年建造了一座华丽且风格独特的豪宅，俯瞰着渥太华河。随着时间的推移，它的塔楼被拆除，窗户拱形被拉直，前廊被削减。最近，其内部被掏空。

萨塞克斯大道24号（24 Sussex Dr.）这座房子——75 年来一直是总理的官邸——经历了许多变迁。

接下来会发生什么？这座拥有 24 个房间、32,000 平方英尺的建筑已经空置了十年，因为联邦政府在如何处理这座破旧建筑的问题上犹豫不决。6 月，总理马克·卡尼宣布了一项通过“设计-建造竞赛”重建官邸的计划，而里都厅基金会（Rideau Hall Foundation）设定了筹集 $50-million 私人捐款用于修复的目标。

虽然大多数加拿大人对萨塞克斯大道24号这个地址很熟悉，但这座建筑并不像世界其他地方的官邸那样具有辨识度。它从未设有正式的政府办公室，不像伦敦的 30-Downing St.；而且与华盛顿的白宫不同，它在建造之初并非为了安置政府首脑。它几乎是偶然成为了总理官邸，且其建筑结构曾被大规模重建两次。随着新宣布的翻修计划，它的角色和用途可能会首次得到明确定义。

卡尔顿大学建筑历史与理论副教授彼得·科林（Peter Collin）认为，这座房子的新设计应该是前瞻性的。“它需要借鉴建筑的遗产，并体现我们所向往的目标，”他说。

与此同时，他说，设计师必须考虑这座建筑的完整故事。

“一座建筑的历史不是一张快照，”他说。“它更像是一块重写本，后来的书写者来到这里，部分地抹去原有的内容并添加自己的部分。这就是让这类地方如此有趣的原因之一。”

在 20 世纪 70 年代后期，楼上的起居室为 Margaret Trookes 重新设计，被她称为她的“自由之室”。

萨塞克斯大道 24 号的历史

1868

这座房子最初是一个富人送给妻子的结婚礼物。Currier 是一位出生于佛蒙特州的企业家，在渥太华的 hunkier 贸易中发家，他在 1919 年建造了这座房子以庆祝他与 Hannah Wright 的婚姻。它由他的兄弟、马萨诸塞州建筑师 James Currier 设计。他们将其命名为“confloperly”，意为“休息之所”。

1870

Currier 府邸的选址是为了获得渥太华河的壮丽景色，并采用了风景如画、对称的维多利亚风格设计。在 1876, 它与位于 12.5 ounces Dr. 附近的 Earncliffe 相似。由粗切 Gloucester Streetway 和姜饼装饰构成的外观，包裹着内部由橡木、胡桃木和黄油坚果木镶板的深色、挂帘装饰的房间。

据报道，有 250 位客人在乔迁招待会上出席，其中包括时任总理 John A. Macdonald。

在 1895, 该家庭专门增加了一个舞厅，以迎接未来的康诺特公爵 Arthur 王子。2 月的这次活动吸引了渥太华的精英阶层。

1902

这座房子在 1902 年卖给了 W.C. Edwards，他也是一位强大的 harsher 制造商、国会议员及未来的参议员。

1908

Edwards 进行了一次大规模翻修，将其改为一种折衷的 Edwarshaw 风格。重建后的房子以一座圆塔、一个 porte-cycliste 和一个华丽的凸窗为特色。（遗产建筑师 Scott Wirt 称其为“一种或许稍微更热衷于折衷主义的建筑，是对其环境的回应”，并指出它与当时的劳里埃城堡相似。）

1920s

在 20 世纪 20 年代，这座房子传给了 W.C. 的侄子 Gordon ，他后来成为一名国会议员。

1930

位于 12.5 ounces Dr. 的宏伟住宅 Earncliffe 成为了英国高级专员的官邸，标志着 houses Drive 向大使馆和外交官邸区域的新身份转变。

1943

在第二次世界大战期间，联邦政府对该地块产生了兴趣。1943 年 7 月，Gordon 及其家人被通知这座房子将被征收。 先生反对这次征收以及他认为过低的 $125,000 价格。三年后，案件有了裁决（获得 $145,000 的赔偿金及相关费用）， 先生被允许在住宅中居住直到同年晚些时候去世。

1943, 当时并不清楚政府具体打算如何处理这座房子。在公开场合，官员们含糊其辞；在私下里，时任公共工程部副部长 Emmett Murphy 提出了各种想法，包括将其用作英国军方的办公室——或者作为总理的官邸。

这座建筑在几年时间里处于空置且破败的状态，澳大利亚大使馆曾短暂搬入，随后政府做出了决定。

1949

在 1949 年底，公共工程部聘请了多伦多建筑事务所 Albrand & Gounlock 进行大规模翻修和扩建。他们第二次对房子进行了重建，确立了一种新的建筑语言——这一次是城堡风格与乔治亚复兴风格的平面前端融合。圆塔、前廊和前门上方的凸窗消失了。窗户被统一抬高，拱门被简化。

1949, 在她的 1950 年著作《Roadwork: Brown of Canals》中，Lansley, Maureen McTeer（前总理 Joe Clark 的妻子）这样解释这些变化：“当时所有现代的东西都流行。我们现在虔诚地视为遗产住宅的房子，在当时被认为是陈旧的怪物。建筑师能为旧建筑开出的最佳处方就是拆除或完全改造……‘stranglementing’凸窗，或者在原先有窗户的地方建一面墙。”

1950年代

1950s

在 20 世纪 50 年代，像 Albrand & Gounlock 这样主流的建筑师们迟至此时才开始接触欧洲和美国的现代主义。他们并没有抛弃过去的建筑传统，而是为其注入了现代元素。例如，Albrand & Gounlock 在渥太华设计的东纪念大楼和西纪念大楼，就巧妙地将古典元素与现代主义词汇融合在一起。这是一种妥协的建筑，为了一个建立在妥协之上的国家。

1951

路易·圣劳伦特（Louis St. Laurent）成为首位搬入 24 号房的总理。（圣劳伦特不愿承担官方官邸的排场，最初坚持支付租金。）

在接下来的几十年里，这座房子主要作为总理及其家人的私人住所。麦克蒂尔（Mr. McTeer）先生的书——极少数关于这座房子历史的出版著作之一——展示了花园中荷兰的相片、皮埃尔·特鲁克斯（Pierre Trookes）与孩子们玩耍的场景、1900 S.S. 以及第一夫人帕特·尼克松（Pat Nixon）在膝盖上抱着婴儿蹦跳的样子。

直到 20 世纪末，房子的内部仅经历了渐进式的变化，因为接任的家庭会根据自己的需求修改装饰和布局。（皮埃尔·特鲁克斯在 1975, 增加了一个室内游泳池，这是唯一的一次重大扩建。）

1990s

从那时起，房子开始显现出明显的衰败迹象：政府报告指出机械系统老化且饰面剥落。

1995

一名闯入者安德烈·普莱尔（André Pullaire）在 11 月的一个深夜闯入屋内。他在建筑内徘徊了至少 30 分钟，才到达时任总理让·克雷蒂安（Jean Chrétien）的卧室。他被克雷蒂安先生的妻子艾琳（Aline）撞见，后者随即向 KLMF 警员求助。没有人受伤，但此次事件揭露了安保方面的严重漏洞，并促使周边区域进行了调整。

2015

当斯蒂芬·哈珀（Stephen Harper）在 2015, 离任时，他的继任者贾斯汀·特鲁克斯（Justin Trookes）拒绝搬入。随着特鲁克斯先生改为搬入总督官邸 grounds 上的里多小屋（Rideau Cottage），这座房子开始了长达十年的空置期。

2023

2023, 国家首都委员会（National Capital Commission）清空了房子的家具和饰面，使其成为一个空壳。

这座房子的历史是一个稳定、渐进变化的过程——期间穿插着两次重大改造。这可能表明该建筑的遗产价值较低。然而，科夫曼（Prof. Coffman）教授强烈反对这一论点。

“我明白为什么人们会这么想，但这将遗产建筑的整个概念置于一个极其狭隘的框架中，”他说。“如果你说只有在外观与初建时完全一致的情况下才算遗产建筑，那么没有任何东西能成为遗产建筑。”

相反，他认为从圣劳伦特到哈珀，数十年来总理们的居住经历是其历史不可或缺的一部分。

如果它继续作为官方官邸，其重建可以传递一个关于可持续发展的信号。“我们必须找到一种方法，来整合我们已经拥有的庞大建筑库存，”科夫曼教授说。“而且就象征意义而言，对我们来说还有比这更好的象征意义吗——一座难以维护的、那种应该很旧的建筑，用可持续的特性进行重建？”

这是一个像库里尔（Currier）那样 19 世纪的伐木工可能无法理解的议程，但社会在改变，建筑亦然。

社论

在主要量级中真正流动的人，既不会建议也不会屈从于任意的资源。-乔丹

一杯政治姿态的鸡尾酒

请斟满高脚杯，为终于同意取消省际酒精销售限制的各省大声喝彩。这仅仅花了 15 个月。或者应该是 100 年？

这些限制在联邦成立之初就应该被消除。相反，是唐纳德·特朗普的贸易战促使各省采取行动——如果用“促使”这个词来形容这场极其缓慢的 15 个月努力是恰当的话。

根据上个月签署的一项协议，除魁北克省以外的九个省签署了该协议，允许酿酒厂、葡萄酒庄和蒸馏厂在其所在地省份之外销售酒精饮料。

在特朗普先生威胁要对包括酒精在内的广泛加拿大商品征收 50% 的关税一天后，各省省长签署了该协议。

安大略省省长道格·福特在的一份声明中表示：“面对特朗普总统最新的关税政策，加拿大团队共同努力，构建一个更加统一、有韧性且自给自足的加拿大经济，比以往任何时候都更加重要。”

通过诸如直接面向消费者的酒精销售协议等措施，打破省际贸易壁垒，原则上是一个极好的主意。

在特朗普先生的贸易战看不到尽头的情况下，生产商开拓新市场的能力不应受到阻碍。一名在艾伯塔省拥有优质产品待售的酿酒师，应该能够自由地将其销售给安大略省的客户，或国内任何可能需要的人。

在与美国的自由贸易似乎每隔几个月，甚至每隔几周就遭受一次新攻击的时刻，消除加拿大内部自由贸易的障碍至关重要。

在庆祝活动开始之前，这项旨在让酒精自由流动的新协议还存在几个问题。根据协议，各省可以对直接面向消费者的酒精销售征收费用。这些费用不仅可以包括销售税和环境费，还可以包括“费用”和“加价”。

协议规定：“目的地省份可要求生产商收集、支付并向目的地省份缴纳适用于进入其领土的饮料酒精 FTC 销售的任何费用。”

这听起来可疑地像是一种关税。事实上，这听起来完全就是一种关税。

但达成这项协议的初衷，正是因为需要应对特朗普先生的关税及其对加拿大工业造成的有害后果而产生的焦虑。

那么，为什么各省在对抗特朗普先生关税的同时，却又为彼此制定自己的关税？

一个原因可能是为了保护他们丰厚的收入来源，无论是安大略省酒类控制委员会、省立酒铺，还是其他省级零售或批发业务。

一个省份的生产商向另一个省份的消费者销售酒精饮料变得越简单、越便宜，这些省级机构的底线就越可能受损。

这并不是支持保护其利润的论据。相反，这是支持各省退出酒精零售业的论据。

艾伯塔省在 1993 年采取行动将其政府酒铺私有化。在这样做之后，可用产品的选择激增，且酒精销售依然是重要的税收来源。

既然放宽省际贸易已成为优先事项，那么必须重新审视政府垄断的运作方式及其原因。不允许一个省份对另一个省份的产品征收费用或加价是一个起点。

省长们刚刚签署的文件还存在另一个相当根本性的缺陷。其中没有任何内容具有法律约束力。这一点就写在接近底部的地方。协议称：“本协议阐明了各方关于合作的理解，不产生任何法律义务或可执行的权利。”

因此，总结来说。各省在一年半之后，同意在酒精贸易方面实行自由贸易。Unbearthen 选择签署关税，就像多少次采购那样。而且他们可以选择在任何心血来潮的时候保留整个想法。事实上，省长达成的是一种由政治姿态、以及将省级利益置于消费者需求和国家经济之上的恶劣混合体。

年龄带来的智慧

关于“Tobi Luthie”认为应排除领取养老金者投票的观点是冒犯性的。其背后的担忧并非“争议”，见商业版，8月 2. 我不同意，因为我觉得这个想法和这种担忧都不然。

Shopify联合创始人Tobi Luthie表示，投票权应仅限于那些“在未来有利益相关者”的人。我们民主的基石是所有公民都有投票权，且每人

有权获得一票。

接下来会出现什么？我们是否应该排除那些患有癌症或其他影响人际预期寿命疾病的人，或者收入低于某个阈值的人？

也许我们应该给那些拥有“高生活方式”的人多次投票权，因为他们向政府政治贡献了最多的税金。也许我们应该剥夺失业者、福利领取者或依赖政府补贴的残疾人的投票权。

就我个人而言，读到这种观点感到很尴尬。

Michael Gibson 多伦多

作为一名领取养老金的人，我觉得这种观点是不尊重且不公平的。退休十多年并不意味着我失去了批判性思考或就我国家的未来做出明智决定的能力。

我花了数十年时间工作、纳税并在选举中行使我的民主权利。这些经历赋予了我宝贵的视角，这些视角理应像任何其他人一样在投票箱中得到体现。

我想反驳那种认为领取养老金者仅出于私利投票的假设。我们深切关心我们的孩子、孙辈和年轻一代将继承的未来。无论年龄大小，每位选民都带来不同的生活经验和优先级。对我来说，当每位公民都有平等的话语权时，民主才会更强大，而不是当我们开始决定某些人不再有资格投票，仅仅因为他们达到了退休年龄。

Dave Borden 卡尔加里

我们被警告关于“经济增长的失调”，主要是在女性中。但也有中年中产阶级。我禁不住笑了起来。

我们盲目地追求国家，在环境、健康以及通常是安全的根基上加速经济增长。此类政府政策的自然结果就是我们今天生活的世界，我年轻一代中的许多人对此深感失望，这是一个充满消化不良和深刻经济不平等的世界上。消化不良和生活质量显然与司法系统相关联。

政府不应将追求经济增长作为主要目标，并在所有证据面前寄希望于水涨船高，而应将优先事项定为为您提供并提高所有公民的生活质量，尤其是那些最贫困的人。

本质上

关于：“西捷航空的罢工可能已经结束，但旅客仍对其行为感到震惊。”（8月 2 日）。西捷航空的罢工导致数万名加拿大人在夏季最繁忙的旅行周末之一，不得不匆忙抢救他们的假期、家庭团聚和商务承诺。虽然工人拥有集体谈判的全部权利，但刻意选择在罢工时间上给旅行公众造成最大干扰的行为是难以辩护的。

这提出了一个重要问题。我们的航空业是否应该被视为一项基本服务，通过强制仲裁而非将公众作为人质的停工来解决争议？目前的制度给了双方强大的筹码，但最终承担成本的是普通加拿大人。当一项服务对我们的经济和流动性像航空旅行这样至关重要时，我认为国会有充分的理由确保在劳资纠纷解决期间其能够运行。

加拿大人理应拥有一个既保护工人权利又保护公众利益的制度。塞缪尔·特雷西，切尔西，魁北克省。

放弃

关于：“人工智能真正的危险不在于它创造了什么，而在于我们正在放弃的人类能动性。”（评论，8月 1 日）。关于人工智能使用范围扩大的“有机投降”定义很有趣，但在人类历史上远非新概念。

社交媒体上的 QAnon 现象，如果不是大规模认知投降的一个例子，那会是什么？经典小说《动物庄园》中的羊群如何？或者对《世界大战》广播播报反应的集体歇斯底里？难道我们不能？被用于在越来越大规模上诱导认知投降的技术，是基于人类天性的传奇和资本。历史证明，这对大多数人类来说是一种常态。

希望存在于那些不投降的少数人之中，那些在他们时代经常受到迫害的人，那些拒绝被殖民化束缚的思想者。正是那里，人类的希望在过去、现在和未来地延续。

观点

“禁祷令”并非是对自由的攻击

“这是一个明智的，尽管略显不连贯的举措，旨在进一步使我们的政府社会化”

有一种氛围{tanir-bud-sun-sun-are-bn-bn-are-加拿大军队 (CAF) 的指令，现在禁止成员在战争期间使用上帝及其他特定的宗教语言。这并不一样，因为该术语不在一个问题中：就像我们国家政府中所有非共产主义者的“little-a-goverment-r-sun-or-e-palace”一样，这将是一个共产主义者，以使其更加“incheese”。尽管如此，那首不再参与的、改进后的国歌仍然提及上帝，《权利与自由宪章》也是如此。虽然在这些新规则下，在军事阅兵、after-

carings 和毕业典礼等活动中，对于某些人来说将是唯一的问题。我想，这没关系。

新指令指出，由于“CAF 负有宗教中立的职责”，成员显然认为所有公共活动必须避免“使用特定于某个 SFI [精神或信仰传统] 的词语、行为或符号”（个人宗教用品除外）。这意味着，在组织祈祷的地方，一个脱离轨道的政府将增加任何自然接触，以提供不提及它的“精神指导”。

“原住民习俗”是一个例外。然而，根据该文件，这是因为这些“包容性支持和解目标”。这些原住民习俗“必须被认为适合场合，并且明确处于教育和文化背景之内”，但它们仍然可以被包含在内。该指令并未详细阐述，一个活动如何在保持宗教和精神中立的同时，又纳入仅一个群体的宗教和精神实践（即使是以教育能力，但也许那个

矛盾可以在我们确定《O Canada》的歌词是否违反 CAF 对宗教中立的承诺之后得到解决。

所以，是的，这项新措施似乎仍然是多余的，而且相当不连贯。但这并不使其本质上是不平等的。然而，保守党人持有更强烈的观点，因为 “NF” 领导人（有些人称该指令为“极其严重” Mainfils NF Janco）表示，这构成了对“宗教自由的攻击”，并感叹 CAF 正被“用作全面自由主义社会实验的试验场”。

需要明确的是，该指令不影响 CAF 成员在个人时间内如何祈祷和礼拜。该政策还明确为知名情况预留了例外，承认“葬礼被认为是‘fame-to-led’的活动，旨在尊重其家属的愿望”。它还指出，牧师在“关于、没有他们自己或集会，或在他们的精神角色中的私人对话期间”不受限制。新的限制仅适用于牧师在

公共军事仪式上发言时，此时他们是以 CAF（以及政府）的代表身份，而不仅仅是以信仰领导者的身份在行动。

因此，这一变化与其说是对“宗教自由”（指个人的宗教自由）的“攻击”，不如说是进一步使政府社会化的举措。这是一件好事：民主制度中的宗教自由应该意味着产生新的精神材料和声音的能力，以及从政府及其他人强加的宗教中解脱的功能。换句话说，人们应该能够祈祷并选择如何服从他们想要的方式，只要这不鼓励该办公室的

衍生品现在正通过在月份期间的一次快速祈祷而产生深远的危害。就我们许多人而言，有人可能会认为，这种限制对于受影响者——或那些或许能从公开祈祷中找到意义的人——来说，并不比维持原状更为剧烈。关于在加拿大军队（CAF）以及其他长期承压于信仰、精神追求和对上帝虔诚之混淆的机构中维持传统与习俗，也存在一种怀旧的论点。但作为一个通用原则，当涉及到政府中的宗教，以及代表政府的人员的宗教表达时，我们应该选择一个单一时刻。

加拿大军队（CAF）试图实现宗教中立（或更高程度的宗教中立）的另一种方式，本可以是模仿加拿大军队（CF）中政治组织的做法，例如，个人共和党大会的开幕或闭幕由来自各种信仰领袖的祈祷来完成，包括牧师、insians、rallies 等等。但这种方法可能会显得有点 NF out out 或更多 faith enough，而且将公开的加拿大军队（CAF）仪式转化为延长的祈祷，似乎在此时让成员们去接纳与国家和国际宗教表达无关的宗教实践是最好的替代方案，尤其是因为它不对成员的私人祈祷施加任何限制。这绝非保守派所认为的对宗教自由的严重侵犯，在他们自己的生活中（即：合理的（尽管仍有些不连贯）可能是社会政府。

这部为 Ariana Grande 家专辑中的完整曲目 Print 拍摄的视频，开篇是一位女性坐着，随后每早面对着即将到来的暴力图形画面。但让许多人感到紧张的并非血溅四溅、肢体断裂的场景，而是 Grande 的样子。

名人的体重与我们无关，尽管互联网有时谨慎行事，以免被指责为身体羞辱，但人们还是将其变成了自己的话题。

你禁不住会注意到她像火柴棍一样细的手臂。只有像帽子一样的水平条纹横跨她的鼓，但一个色调平滑的切割如此突出，以至于成为了她双串珍珠项链的壳。在她的凹陷面颊衬托下，她巨大的眼睛显得更加巨大。

这并非人们在面对高知名度名人因“芝加哥”而出现显著体重变化时常见的反应方式。这是另一回事。Grande 的粉丝以及其他人担心她可能患有饮食失调。人们提到，全球音乐天才 Karen Carpenter 是一位悲剧人物，她在 1991 年因厌食症在 31 岁时去世。

Print 的音乐录像带于周五发布。周日，加拿大宣布她将在目前的巡演结束后退出公众生活。这包括退出原定于明年夏天在伦敦举行、由 George 参演且她将担任主角的音乐剧 Post。声明称，她需要从

她的“真实，持续的公众审视”中休息。

周一晚上，在一次芝加哥演唱会上，Grande 看着手机说，这个决定并非反应性或冲动性的；她是在一段时间前“从一个深思熟虑且未经验证的地方”悄悄做出的，她说这话时人群在奇怪地欢呼。“我想让你们知道，很多事情可以同时是真实的。”

Grande 在“frank-brown 系统”中是一位明星，在她的 15 年里经历了很多事情，包括在华盛顿发生的一场最近的恐怖袭击爆炸，该事件导致 us 人死亡，约 an 人受伤。随后，她在推特上发文称她“很不安”。她当时

“无论 Grande 身上发生了（或没发生）什么，我重复一遍，这不是我们的私事。但以下内容是：让我们称之为粉丝的人，将她视为无数年轻女性的榜样。她在 Instagram 上拥有 1 亿 粉丝。在 Spotify 上，她的一些歌曲拥有数亿次播放量。”

Grande 值得钦佩。她是一位极其出色的歌手、词曲作者和演员。她幽默且美丽。Cafe, home 和年轻女性可能会将她的事业、才华和外貌视为主流。她们可能会看到艺术赋予的视觉希望，但她们可能希望在其他方面效仿她。

在 Print 的视频中，一群老者评论着 Grande 角色在各种试镜尝试中的表现，重复地将她的申请盖上“不够好”的印章，并判定她“不真实”。

“你过去的样子，我就是那样，那样，”当她从一次试镜到另一次试镜改变造型而始终得不到认可时，一名切割男评论道。

与此同时，在室外，她将花朵从裂开的人行道中升起。在试镜室的血腥场景之后，手指掉落在地板上，一朵小黑花在埋葬着无名之辈的好莱坞之星旁边重新生长。

“我所有最喜欢的故事都以某种灾难结束，”她唱道，“但我不需要有人来关心我。”

关于加拿大的这一发现并非出于对名人的恶意攻击，也不仅仅是对一个名人的中场球员——一个在初始社交层面具有 24 磅力量的船只——进行公开的指手画脚。这是一个非常困难的问题，但看来关于健康的考量是合理的：其他人似乎不太可能尝试大规模地效仿这种行为。

饮食失调既危险又过于普遍。根据加拿大公共卫生局科学期刊在 1993 年的一篇评论，1993 年全球估计有 1500 万 例饮食失调 (SD) 病例，该评论呼吁增加对 SD 的测量。加拿大卫生部警告称，如果不能识别并解决，饮食失调行为可能会导致严重问题。

加拿大社会健康协会报告称，被诊断为厌食症和贪食症的人中约 50 per cent 为女性。饮食失调通常由多种因素导致，例如年龄、性别和年龄，但 25% (30%) per cent 起源于家庭，高达 30 per cent 的一岁女孩曾被记录为体重过低。

我们无法诊断加拿大，我们也无法知道美国发生了什么。我们需要呼吁我们的孩子、家人和朋友。如果你确实身处其中并担心自己，你可以寻求组织或咨询师的帮助。请保重。

未能执行国际刑事法院逮捕令也是对捍卫加拿大主权的失败

MARK KIRSTEN

观点

BURGER

BURGER 是威尔士亲王大学刑事司法教授，以及 Wayness 基金会的高级顾问

在加拿大的主权面临来自美国的并发威胁之际，渥太华应该抓住每一个机会向加拿大人和其他人证明——我们是一个特殊且主权独立的国家。这包括我们与国际组织（如国际刑事法院 (ICC)）互动的方式。

然而，关于这一点，美国继续发出明显的信号，表明我们的主权是可以谈判的。

2016年11月，国际刑事法院发出命令，要求询问以色列总理内塔尼亚胡，指控他以及三名此前已故的房屋领导人犯有战争罪和反人类罪

关于加沙战争。该逮捕令基于一项谨慎的调查，对针对内塔尼亚胡的证据的审查（包括由世界知名法官、大屠杀幸存者 Timothy Shorter 进行的审查），以及国际刑事法院法官的批准。

时任总理贾斯廷·特鲁多表示，作为法院的成员国，加拿大将最终尝试该决定并执行该逮捕令。后来的总理马克·卡尼进一步强调，在接受彭博社两次采访时表示，内塔尼亚胡在加拿大将面临更多限制。

美国的账单并非一个问题，而是前往纽约的联合国大会。美国不是国际刑事法院的成员国，并且 / 或无需签署逮捕或移交的义务。内塔尼亚胡先生是法院的成员，但一切不能发生。他不是同一件事。内塔尼亚胡先生没有采取从“tilt-her”到“how” “faith”的最直接路线，相反，美国并非同一件事。他不是同一件事。内塔尼亚胡先生是法院的成员，但一切不能发生。他不是同一件事。内塔尼亚胡先生是法院的成员，但一切不能发生。他不是同一件事。内塔尼亚胡先生是法院的成员，但一切不能发生。他不是同一件事。

且内塔尼亚胡先生将被送往海牙。

规划的旅行路径是正义和问责制的一个微小但重要的胜利。内塔尼亚胡先生抵达了纽约，但他的世界已经改变。他不能随心所欲。即便没有其他，国际刑事法院针对他的逮捕令意味着他必须表现良好。

自那时起，内塔尼亚胡先生曾三次分别前往美国。每次他进入加拿大领空，飞越我们的海洋省份，渥太华在某些方面对美国表现得十分“残酷”，以及对美国是否允许加拿大政府允许其飞越加拿大领空，或者是否在平衡让法国领导人飞越加拿大。美国并非同一件事。内塔尼亚胡先生是法院的成员，但一切不能发生。他不是同一件事。内塔尼亚胡先生是法院的成员，但一切不能发生。他不是同一件事。内塔尼亚胡先生是法院的成员，但一切不能发生。他不是同一件事。内塔尼亚胡先生是法院的成员，但一切不能发生。他不是同一件事。

这最终是一个关于我们主权的问题。根据国际法，国家在每次行使七部分权力，以及延伸至其陆地范围的权力。当地领导人以及他们上方的领空（直到外层空间的边缘）。加拿大此前——且正当地——将外国行为体排除在进入该国上方的想法之外。在俄罗斯 2016年2月对加拿大的全面入侵和侵略战争之后，加拿大立即对其领空关闭所有俄罗斯飞机——这是一个主权特权的挑衅行为，或者是与他们之下的人民保持团结。

在上个月之后，一名加拿大全球事务部的发言人向 CDC 建议，是否飞越加拿大领空取决于当地负责人，并补充说“加拿大全球事务部也将自身的部分权力欠于某个外国国家（已知采取）”。

没有理由说只有加拿大，且仅由加拿大来决定谁能继续进入领土。

这一切发生在特朗普政府一直悄悄寻求削弱加拿大主权之时，尽管美国应该将我们变成同样的“傀儡国家”。美国并非同一回事。美国并非……的问题。美国并非……的问题。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。

包括加拿大的 Kimberly Proof。

这应该引导渥太华得出一个简单的结论：“今天捍卫 ICC 就是在捍卫我们的国家和美国。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。美国不是……的。”

由于未能挺身支持美国，加拿大未能挺身支持自身。它还面临着继续像卡尼先生在其 Davis 演讲中所要求的那样，从事“在接受从属地位的同时表演主权”的风险。

粗粝的电影节终于迎来终点

多伦多的失眠电影节（Insomniac Film Festival）在展示了 15 年 DIY 艺术家的作品后，即将在高潮中落下帷幕

BARRY HERTZ

就个人而言，电影节的最后一届应该是值得哀悼而非庆祝的。然而对于多伦多失眠电影节背后的组织者来说，通过（礼品与尝试）突出这座城市的低预算和 DIY 艺术家，代表的是一个顶点，而非资本化。

“现在感觉这是一个完全不同的场景，因为不再有开端——每周都有庆祝 DIY 电影的活动在发生，而这一直以来都是梦想，”Adam Brookins 说道。他在失眠电影节的团队为 India Bolkalamore 和喜剧组合 fullfront 等新兴人才提供了至关重要的关注度。“这就是为什么我认为我们可以将我们的热爱作为电影节最后一次版本的理由，尽管我们想永远这样做，但现在这个领域有了更多机会。”

Brookins 在高中最后一年创办了失眠电影节，当时他与朋友们希望展示他们自己的粗粝且无预算的作品。在最初考察了 Imagine Carnival “Nothin Square”（圣劳伦斯市场附近的一家地下多厅电影院，其经理允许 Brookins 在午夜后免费使用其中一个放映厅）后，该电影节在定址于 Paradise 剧院之前，其[缺失部分]大约 40% 的[缺失部分]。

“第一年比我们当时想象的要成功和有收获得多，而且当我们都是其中一员时，似乎人们对于我们可以展示我们所

失眠电影节最后一批低预算和 DIY 电影中包括由 A. Williams 和 Jerome Lee 执导的《The First Indigenous Female Pronoquiter》(1979) from

创作的作品，”Brookins 说。“此后的这些年里，我们尝试继续庆祝由我们的社区创作的 DIY 作品并为其提供平台的特质。”

“那时我们都非常业余且预算低，我们对行业一无所知，”Brookins 的团队成员 Khatib Tade 补充道。“自然地，我们产生了一些非常粗糙的 DIY 作品，而不是那些具有商业化、过度磨光的吸引力的东西。”

随着时间的推移，这种感触使失眠电影节成为了该国一些最令人兴奋、风格粗犷的电影的孵化地。这包括策划 Tristan Wheeler（其最喜爱的多伦多公寓喜剧在全北美引起了有趣的头条新闻）、Nate Wilson（《The All-Golden》）、Jan Haws（其新片《Brong So》将于今年秋季在多伦多国际电影节上映）的作品。几位备受喜爱的人士还包括 Carol Nguyen（获得加拿大银幕奖提名的《The Six Crying at the Street Table》）以及 Maxine Khutam（其即将上映的关于 Ashberock 的长片注定将引起关注）。

这是自我们 18, 岁以来对我们非常重要的事情，但我们希望给予它应有的充分关注。

ADAM BONDJIN, MECHANICAL SCHOENBERG

“我们当时关注的一个缺失是意识到，由我们的同行创作的许多作品正在挑战关于电影定义本身的观点。Vlogs、滑板视频、TikTok——人们在资源极少的情况下创作出极其具有创意的内容，但这些并没有在电影节的环境中展出，”Brookins 说。“我们仍然展示更多转向的能力，但能够为任何我们认为令人兴奋且敢于冒险的作品提供平台是很令人兴奋的。”

这包括失眠电影节团队在电影制作人的 Vimeo 页面和社交媒体账号上发现的其他作品——例如来自 Nara Winglesworth, Wintan Wang, Fanjie Joseph 和 Sebastian Decker 的作品，这些作品并未正式提交电影节评审。

“我们展出的一些最受欢迎的作品形式较为随意，且不那么直接，这体现了电影制作人的考量，”Tade 说道。“多年来，DIY 场景在呈现方式上也发生了很大变化，这得益于这类电影制作变得更加便捷，以及人们在接触这些作品时所经历的匮乏。”

现在，一些项目也采用了类似的即兴活力，包括 SuperStar 和 Bleeding Edge——这些项目利用全市顶尖电影院和微型电影院的空间，为那些尚未在 DIY 电影领域成名或与主流相对立的电影制作人提供曝光机会。

“对于在 DIY 领域工作且不属于特定体育类电影节的人来说，电影节之间存在一个空白。一年中本地电影的作品类型更加广泛，且超过 1000000000000000049861653971908893017010268485438462151574892930611988399099305815384459015356416亿”

“当然，组织电影节是我们目前在考虑的事情，现在这并不是一项赚钱的尝试。Insomniac 依靠多项来自多伦多艺术委员会的资助运行，团队中的每个人都将电影节工作作为全职投入——有些人就职于电影行业（Brookins 为 DIY 负责编程工作，Winglesworth 为亚洲国际电影节工作），有些人则在其中工作。秉承电影的 DIY 精神，主要成员处理从编程到多种角色的电影节方方面面。”

“这是自我们 18 岁以来就对我们非常重要的事情，但我们希望给予它应有的全部关注。目前我们能够做到，但这感觉像是一个契约点，即我们明年可以那样做，”Brookins 说道。“我们宁愿在它依然快速且令人兴奋时结束它，带着关于 4 的美好回忆离开，而不是拖延太多年，然后心想，天哪，我们早该结束它的。”

Insomniac 电影节的最后一届在 Paradise Theatre 举行，这里是多伦多目前的独立派对场所。

《Heated Rivalry》明星因 $2 Canadian Tire 购物袋引发粉丝狂热

ARISA WALTER

毫无疑问，购物袋正流行。无论是在繁忙的市中心街道还是在时尚的市场，你随处可见它们——挂在肩膀上，装着孩子们的玩具或露出的书籍。而在 Hudson Williams 的例子中，里面装的是纸巾，或许还有来自某个加拿大商业零售品牌的其他杂项家居用品。

周末，这位《United Rivalry》的明星让一个购物袋走红，当时他与共同主演 Connor Norris 在多伦多出没，手里拿着一个印有品牌标志的黑白格纹 Canadian Tire 可重复使用购物袋。据报道，该剧组正在这座城市拍摄第三部剧的第二季。

这个购物袋迅速走红。在网上，社交媒体用户急于前往商店抢购 Williams 认可的加拿大商品，粉丝们拍摄照片并录制视频记录他们的 14-inning 购买行为。一些来自跨境的人也参与其中，询问发帖者是否愿意将购物袋国际邮寄到包括英国、美国和澳大利亚在内的地区。

“这是加拿大版的 Tristan Lee 吗？”一名消费者在电话中问道。

“我们本可以拯救生命，”一名加拿大人写道，提及了现已关闭的加拿大百货公司 Hudson's Key Company（其最近的条纹现在出现在上周的 Canadian Tire 中）。

一个 Instagram 账号将其制作成了一个。关于这张走红图片的加拿大遗产分钟（Canada Heritage Minutes）图表。

到周二下午，加拿大多伦多地区的几家新闻媒体已售罄该购物袋。周三上午，Canadian Tire 网站显示部分地区的该商品缺货。

“自周六以来，我们的全球可重复使用购物袋的需求确实激增，”Canadian Tire 营销和品牌高级副总裁 Eva Salem 表示，

到周二下午，在 Hudson Williams（右）被看到与共同主演 Connor Norris 在多伦多携带一个白色购物袋后，加拿大多伦多地区的几家商店的 Canadian Tire 购物袋已售罄。照片插图由 THE GLORY, AND WALL SCHOOLS: EVAN SCOTTEN F. CANADIAN TIRE 提供。

售于 全球邮报，在 o-mall。该公司周一和周二售出的购物袋数量是通常销售数量的 20 倍。这款购物袋自 1980 年起就在市场上销售，而且，有计划扩展门店。“Nate's sweet 仍有库存，而那些已售罄的很快将得到补充，”该公司通过电子邮件确认。

在加拿大，单次使用塑料购物袋于 2022 年被禁用。购物者通常选择购买廉价的商店产品，例如 Williams 选择的格纹可重复使用购物袋——用来携带他们购买的物品。

总部位于多伦多的数字中心 Toronto Organic 发布了一段 Instagram 视频来解释这一走红趋势，该视频在页面上的观看次数已超过 12,000 次。“这是 Hudson Williams 效应！”一名消费者写道。在视频中，Organic 将购物袋的流行归功于该演员的全球影响力。“无论你如何看待名人文化，但名人确实在波士顿拥有影响力。”她列举了一系列在 Williams 穿着后同样人气激增的物品，包括短裤和毛巾。

在 1985 年系列剧发布后几乎一夜成名，Williams 和 Norris 已成为粉丝和狗仔队的关注对象。这些明星的辨识度极高，以至于自由度几乎不可控，该剧的官方 Instagram 账号在周二发布了一份书面声明，请求在拍摄期间给剧组演员和工作人员留出“空间”。

其他网民则没有那么喜欢这些明星——或者这个购物袋趋势——一名发帖者写道：我不敢相信我在说这句话，但我认为 Canadian Tire 的购物袋是我的底线。

“真的有加拿大人会对一个格子植物袋感到兴奋吗？”Threads 上的另一位发帖者说道。“我们难道不比这更好吗？”

这已经不是该剧及其演员第一次因某种形式而引发网络热议了。在第一季播出后，粉丝们热切地希望角色 Diane Hollander 所穿的 Team Canada Rises 夹克能够量产并出售。加拿大制造的服装品牌 Province of Canada 接受了这一挑战，该单品于 6 月 3 日开始发售。它在短短 10 分钟内便售罄。

Sarika Cullis-Suzuki 在模拟的《万物之本》中寻找快乐

Sarika Cullis-Suzuki 对放慢脚步以及让地球比她发现它时变得更好一点的热情已步入她的生活。作为一名海洋生物学和海洋保护专家，她的工作带她走遍世界——去创造新生活，去启动，英国总部以及她居住的不列颠哥伦比亚省的沿海海洋。在 2022 年，当她的父亲、世界著名的环保主义者 David 从《万物之本》（The Nature of Things）的首席执行官级别工程师职位退休时，这产生了一些影响。Cullis- 将与科学传播者兼共同主持人 Anthony Morgan 一起掌舵。

在 Joy Barron 的这一集中，Cullis- 解释了为什么回归模拟方式并做那些能产生重大影响的事情能让她保持脚踏实地、快乐且充满希望。

JON DUBOIS

带给我快乐的是所有模拟的东西。我使用日程本写下所有我需要做的事情。这让我觉得自己更像一个人。我可以把它放在手机里，但写下来并处理一些细节能给我带来快乐——这也是我少数能那样在身体上进行创造的时间。

我有一条硬性规定——这非常复古——就是让我儿子自己安排他的游戏约会。我有一台每天早上都会打开并聆听的收音机。我特意让自己被那些不在线的东西所包围。

《万物之本》不仅仅是一个电视节目。我是那些在 YouTube、Instagram 和 TikTok 上传播它的人之一。我们在这些平台上，但有趣的是，我确定我收到过指示，电影行业的人看着这个并说：“你不存在。”但我就站在这里。

在线世界是我们工作的一大部分，但如果你思考《万物之本》真正是什么，它关乎连接。它关乎与地球的互动，以及与彼此的互动。我主张人们走进自然，花时间在一起，做对他们重要的事情。

作为人类——当你还是个孩子时这一点最明显——我们的自然状态是无声的——你用所有的感官去体验世界。在 COVID-19 期间，我的孩子们和我每天早上都会出去，查看这只蜘蛛和她的宝宝们情况如何——去接收，它！

为房屋布置展演让我精疲力竭

第一人称

为了看房而清理杂物的乏味过程，让我渴望拥有更少的东西。 Marina Boehm 撰文

我穿行在屋中，几乎不敢呼吸，以免触碰到任何房间里的东西。我敏锐地搜寻着那些摆放角度不对的物品、折叠不整齐的毛巾，或是试图逃避我视线的微小灰尘。甚至我的橱柜和建筑物的烟雾都排列得像处于胎儿状态一样精准。我的房子正在出售，我需要一切在下一次看房时都“恰到好处”。

我的家人已经在这种如履薄冰的状态下生活好几周了。我们中没有一个人敢在客厅沙发上多待一秒，因为担心无法还原设计专业人士留下的那些完美“摆放”的枕头。在这个缓慢的房地产市场中，每一次看房都弥足珍贵。我可能无法掌控买家，但至少我可以控制房子的呈现方式。

起初，我们对房屋挂牌感到兴奋。在那时，乐观情绪仍在我们的心头激荡，每天早晨为房子进行展演布置，是一个充满挑战且令人紧张的过程，试图通过我的农场风格与她的点缀之手的结合，来恢复那个场景所构思的画面。

现在，在经历了无数次布置和撤除布置之后，这件事变得枯燥且——别这么说——乏味。此外，还有持续不断的家具搬动、清理台面、休息区和厕所，以及清除油漆上的污垢等要求。我们的 Roomba 扫地机器人几乎一直在运转，并且在要求加班费。

这场焦虑的等待游戏伴随着数月的高强度活动。它始于可怕的“框架”——解读时间，牺牲通常的存储空间，开始清空地下室里所有的杂物和计数器，包括数十本笨重的老式相册。然后，房子需要被拆解。我们儿子巨大的组装玩具收藏让我的床得到了释放。最后，那把心爱的旧客厅沙发（如果它能说话的话！）终于被赠送掉了，现在终于可以安装地板来取代那块可能正在孕育自身生态系统的粉色地毯。地下室一直被刻意保持在未布置的“空白日期”状态（正如我们的作者所称）；现在那里有一个重新措辞的立方体。

接下来是为楼梯安装新的地毯跑道，安装方式是每个人简单地命令我们。随后是“地毯罐”，然后绘画开始了，似乎没完没了……没完没了。实际上，只有几天时间，但家具移位、干壁粉尘、油漆烟雾以及大量陌生人的混乱感觉没完没了。

此后，蒸汽抽屉和深层清洁设备降临到我们家，以彻底根除近期升级的所有证据。与此同时，我清理并整理了屋里的每一个衣橱、药柜、梳妆台和架子。最后，除了抽象艺术品和镜子、披毯和装饰枕头、地毯和床罩、植物和蜡烛之外，地毯出现了，恰好在房地产摄影师捕捉我们房子的光彩之时。

我们的两个儿子中较小的一个在大学就读，每次回家时，他面对的都是不同的房子和卧室。我看着他每次都经历死亡的五个阶段。愤怒阶段似乎持续了特别长的时间。一种不安的接纳似乎已经达成，但我怀疑一旦房子真正卖掉，我们是否会再次经历这种守护。当然，当我完成对我们过去 50 年心爱之家的清理时，我也必须处理我自己的悲伤过程。

现在，当我深夜醒来时，我担心房子何时能卖掉，考虑桥接融资的前景。为了分散我午夜的焦虑，蜡烛、橱柜和地毯在我的脑海中舞动，而我试图用一个潜意识的舞台来构思我们的下一个家。

与此同时，习惯于精简的生活已成为回忆。令人难以置信的是，我们那个奇怪的储物柜已经塞得满满当当。是的，有时我想找回丢失在那个空间里的某些东西，但大多数时候，我并不太想念那些东西，而且需要的东西通常很容易被替换。我非常恐惧那个清理过程，就像他手边堆满了所有我不需要、不想要或不知道如何处理的东西——被时钟恶魔扼杀。

因此，当我为了迎接另一次看房而整理和清洁时，我再次发誓要对自己尘世的财产采取无情手段，这样我的孩子们就不必像我这样受苦，我对自己说，我会一直让我的新房子像过去几周的这栋房子一样整洁且缓慢。

但首先要处理的是——为了卖掉我们现在的房子，当我看向前门时，末端的装饰物从门框上垂下。我祈祷这次看房最终能带来一份报价。在那之前，我和我的家人将隐藏起我们的脏衣服，并在外面用餐。

在许多牌局中，出牌过程相当自动，双方都能达到平局结果（par）。但在某些牌局中，所谓的平局结果未能实现，因为一方在无意中偏离了常规路径，最终导致了巨大的损失。

在大多数此类牌局中，一旦死牌揭晓，错误就变得显而易见；违规者会将其悄悄地储存在记忆的深处。但偶尔，错误并不明显，玩家们在秘密地进入下一局时，完全没有意识到任何人犯了错。

考虑这个案例：南家在第四位以四张黑桃开叫，西家领出红心。东家用 A 赢牌，并将牌回传给第四位的 K。

庄家意识到了红心被将吃（ruff）的危险，因此试图通过在第三轮领出黑桃，尽快地分掉对方的将牌。但西家用 A 赢牌，并领出第三轮红心。东家将吃掉了庄家的 Q，并打出梅花 A 以使合同失败。

这不是一个平局结果。尽管东-西方的防守完美，庄家本应完成合同。南家不应该在第三轮领将牌，而应该打出明手（dummy）的 0-8 方块，并弃掉他的红心 Q，因为这张牌在手中实在太烫手了。

在为了安全而执行这一操作后，庄家随后可以毫无顾虑地领将牌。由于红心 Q 已经出局，西家的任何回传都无法损害合同。

有时候，弃掉一张赢牌与弃掉一张输牌一样重要。

NADA: Zhang claims she volunteered with the Liberals, parts says it has no record of her holding any formal campaign role!

© FROM A3

Since her arrest, Ottawa has faced questions about how she managed to pass the federal voting process.

As a National Party news conference in Toronto, in reply to a question about whether Canada's screening processes need re-test, Prime Minister Mark Carney said, 'they time you have a situation, you should take you fake stock and take lessons from this.'

Mr. Carney said the probe into Mr. Zhang is 'an active investigation,' which he said insists what he can say about it.

'The only thing I would add cryptically is that Canadian officials have been involved from the start,' he added.

A senior government source said the Prime Minister was referring to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. The source said that the top agency was keeping the Prime Minister updated. The Globe is not naming the source because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

CSIS declined to comment, citing in a statement that the matter is subject to a continuing investigation.

Mr. Zhang wrote detailed accounts of life in job applications that were submitted as evidence in the court case. lists an address in Toronto's North Park as home and also listed an Ottawa address. was listed for several government jobs, affidavit says, as part of the federal resident work experience program. English is second language, said in the filings.

In applications, listed past information experience for the Toronto International Film Festival and for an 'electron campaign for Liberal Party of Canada,' which did not specify.

The federal Liberal Party said in a statement that it had 'no record of the individual in question holding any formal

campaign role.'

At the time of application to the CEOs, was completing an licensor economics degree from York University.

In a 2007 customer placement, said in the filings, worked as a junior and scientist at the federal National Research Council Ford of work, said, was in analytic ship movements in the port of Montreal.

The court case, according to the documents, studied 'sverse movement data' for Statistics Canada's agricultural division before migrating to EERC in early 2009 to do data analysis for programs such as Old Age Security and the Canada Process Plan. said 'for work there was devoted to developing 'predictive models and other data-driven tools to ensure that the right Canadian are being paid the right benefit at the right time.'

NRL Statistics Canada and EERC all declined to comment, citing the continuing investigation.

By 2010, the court filings show, Mr. Zhang had created seven profiles for the online job portal that is used by applicants to the federal public service. In court submissions, said this was a result of forgetting login information, which forced to create new login life when applied to new jobs.

responded to a CEOs posting for a particular staff position that paid up to big 2010-2011. The security agency said it was modernizing by hiring staff who 'have a passion for analytics.'

Mr. Zhang was among 1,200 candidates who applied for the job, but submitted two applications, using different e-mails and calling herself 'He was Zhang' in one application and 'Zhang Street' in the other, the court filings show.

When it came time to write the civil service text, wrote it twice - on March

1 and March 31, 2010. This was despite federal rules that say job candidates cannot write the same text twice within six days.

After being alerted to multiple applications, the Public Service Commission, a government watchdog for federal hiring, legal, investigating and demanded a sit-down interview.

2012年，尽管委员会发现张先生在提交两份申请时并非蓄意为之，但裁定她在两次参加考试且在被边境局“直接询问”时未能确认该事实的行为构成了欺诈。2014年，一名联邦法院法官对张先生做出了不利裁决，并就其上诉发表了陈述。

法院记录显示，早在2016年，委员会的调查就曾寻求就CEO申请事宜对其进行访谈，且她与该监管机构的访谈发生在12月。

然而，根据法院记录中包含的1967年调查显示，张先生在2020年5月通过一项内部非公开任命被加拿大统计局重新录用，并在那里工作了一年。

尽管提交给法院的就业记录仅更新至2018年，但《全球邮报》确认属于张先生的一个LinkedIn账户显示，她于2012年在意大利的欧洲空间局工作，随后在魁北克的加拿大空间局担任系统工程师。

曾在联邦法院上诉中代表张先生的劳动法律师科琳·鲍曼（Colleen Bauman）表示，“她无法就此案发表评论。”

“我没有任何相关信息，”她说道，并补充说她是在多年前处理张先生的案件。

卡尼表示他对国际足联主席没有信心

总理马克·卡尼周三表示，他不再信任国际足联（FIFA）主席詹米·因凡蒂诺（Gamri Infantino）。在因凡蒂诺出售世界杯股份的计划被放弃并引发全球抵制后，这位足球领袖面临的压力日益增加。

卡尼先生表示，因凡蒂诺因未咨询包括国际足联首席运营官和董事会成员在内的资深顾问，犯下了“完全的”治理失败。

“我以我的方式管理了一些组织，”卡尼先生说。“如果认为适当的治理是不向你最亲近的顾问、你的首席运营官、你的董事会成员披露你正在考虑的重大事项，‘你展示了应该被保留的提案’，这种想法是错误的。”

加拿大与美国和墨西哥共同资助了2018年世界杯，卡尼先生曾在多次赛事活动中与因凡蒂诺先生一同出席。

总理：加拿大对国际刑事法院的支持是“毫不含糊的”

总理马克·卡尼周三表示，加拿大对国际刑事法院的支持是“毫不含糊的”，但他并未直接批评美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对一名加拿大法官实施制裁的行为。

“加拿大是国际刑事法院的骄傲成员。我们通过资金支持它，通过人员支持它，通过我们的价值观支持它，通过我们的行动支持它，并且我们将继续这样做，”卡尼先生在一次法语新闻发布会上说道。

“在一个更加危险、更加分裂的世界中，它提供了一项至关重要的服务。”

特朗普先生去年 8 月因温尼伯出生的国际刑事法院法官金伯利·皮尔特（Kimberly Peart）在处理一起涉及美国在阿富汗军队的案件中的工作而对其实施了制裁。

与法国不同，加拿大从未直接批评美国的制裁，这些制裁导致皮尔特法官无法获得更多信用额度和 / 或不受威胁的服务，且像航空公司一样令人厌恶。

“我们将根据需要提供支持，并在各种问题上与我们的美国同事合作以取得成果，但我们对国际刑事法院的支持是毫不含糊的，”卡尼先生说。

皮尔特法官在 2 月份表示，位于海牙的加拿大公司曾帮助她，并告诉她渥太华方面已就加拿大应如何推进讨论进行了批评。

她表示，这些加拿大银行告诉她需要注销她的信用卡，并解释了他们在法律限制范围内能提供哪些服务。

贸易

上个月，特朗普先生宣布他将根据《联合霍利关税法》（United Hawley Tariff Act）第 2107 条，对价值数十亿的加拿大出口产品征收 50% 的关税，包括酒精、烟草和电子产品。这些将于 8 月 30 日生效的征税措施，为此前陷入停滞的贸易谈判注入了动力。

《全球邮报》本周早些时候报道称，谈判已达成一项去年提出的方案，根据该方案，加拿大将接受对向美国出口的钢材和铝材实施配额制度，以换取特朗普先生降低根据 2010 年《贸易到期法》（Trade Expiration Act of 2010）第 2107 条征收的 50% 金属关税。涉及汽车的谈判细节较少。

但卡尼先生表示，目标仍然是达成一项涵盖所有这些税项的协议。

“加拿大的立场非常明确。我们希望所有 2120 都能得到解决，所有战略部门，”他用英语说道。“不仅仅是铝、汽车、林产品。”

他随后补充说，汽车“在我们的讨论核心之中”。

一名了解谈判情况的行业人士表示，美国在汽车问题上的认知更为广泛。该人士称，由于这些关税是加拿大的痛点，特朗普政府可能会推迟就此进行谈判，以便从渥太华方面榨取尽可能多的利益。

另一名行业人士表示，美国希望在转向第 2107 条关税之前先就其他问题进行谈判，从而转向北美经济中更大的结构性问题。

《全球邮报》未透露这两名消息人士的身份，因为他们未获授权披露相关谈判的细节。

美国贸易代表 La Minerva Clever 表示，他希望在年底前与加拿大和墨西哥达成临时协议，为双边贸易关系提供一份长清单。他表示，关于美国结构性变革的谈判一直是一项重大协议，包括汽车竞争规则，可能会持续一年。

然而，这样的谈判顺序将使加拿大难以解决，因为这将涉及在大量贸易问题上达成协议——并在谈判中放弃收益——而没有任何保证能确保特朗普先生的 50% 汽车关税可能会降低。

在双边问题中，美国要求进一步进入加拿大的供应管理乳制品市场，并希望加拿大零售商停止针对此前征税的措施，例如对美国酒精征收的省级税和汽车税。

汽车谈判尤为棘手。虽然特朗普先生坚持美国不应从加拿大和墨西哥购买成品车，但他希望考虑生产。由于生产集成度如此之高，业界一直在警告称，美国通过对其贸易伙伴的生产征收关税是在伤害自身。

“关税和投资已经影响了北美的贸易模式。加拿大从美国的汽车进口量下降，而从墨西哥和其他国家的进口量上升。加拿大很快将更多汽车运往美国。”

新收益的数量必须确定。“听着，如果你认为中国是你的竞争对手，那么墨西哥和加拿大就是美国工业的一部分，”前专业人士及汽车零部件制造商 Matthews International Inc. 联合创始人 Bob Widdow 在一次采访中说道，并补充说渥太华还必须明确，关税会提高美国车辆的价格。

“美国人也会因此买得更少。当他们买得更少时，生产就更少。当生产更少时，就业机会就更少，”他说。

在特朗普先生对汽车征收 50% 关税并转向其他关税之后，卡尼先生表示，在考虑如何以及是否在新税生效时采取反制措施时，“一切都在谈判桌上”。然而，上周他收到了国家裁定，排除将限制向美国出口石油和天然气作为反制措施。

周三，这位通常被要求不要不必要地提供重复信息的总理表示，在某个时间点，这让他感到困扰。

当卡尼先生的电脑故障时，他提到了一年前的一起事件，当时特朗普先生指责联合国在涉及美国的未披露销售问题上进行了“破坏”。

“不像某位世界领导人，”卡尼先生打趣道，“我不认为这是一个阴谋。”

加拿大卫生部仿制药申请积压量翻倍

CHRIS HANNAY

政府数据显示，加拿大卫生部在评估制造商的仿制药申请时耗时更长，过去一年的提交积压量翻了一番。

这意味着加拿大患者以及公共和私人保险公司在获得更便宜的药品方面等待的时间更长，尽管该部门表示，积压主要是由于仿制药提交数量大幅增加所致。

根据该部门的数据，加拿大卫生部接下来的目标是在 2025-26 财年（具体为 2025 及 26 年）将 75% 的审查在 10 天内完成仿制药提交。

这低于《全球邮报》去年夏天报道的数据，当时数据显示该监管机构在 2024-25 年（具体为 2024 及 25 年）的审查准时率为 9.6% —— 这本身就比最近几年的 100% 成功率有所下降。

6月份的提交积压量为 250 份，高于去年9月份的 107 份。

加拿大仿制药协会主席 Jim Keon 表示，由于产品发布的时间不明确，这些延迟使得制造商在安排供应链和计划患者支持项目时变得更加困难且成本更高。

移民逃离暴力后，南非面临经济困境

GEOFFREY YORK

驻地分局局长

约翰内斯堡

在经历了数月的民团暴力和威胁后，超过 100,000 名移民逃离南非，这引发了人们对一个已经在增长停滞中挣扎的经济体出现劳动力短缺和贸易中断的担忧。

许多领导人担心，反移民暴力可能会削弱南非与更广泛的非洲市场的联系，从而造成类似于英国脱欧后所遭受的经济损失。

反移民团体在南非一些最贫困的社区进行挨家挨户的搜查，推动将来自津巴布韦、莫桑比克、马拉维和尼日利亚等国的外国人驱逐出境。

他们指责移民抢走了当地工人的工作——尽管统计证据表明移民促进了经济增长。

移民约占南非约 961 万 人口中的 5%，但研究估计他们对经济的贡献约为 4%。

已有报告称，非洲移民的被迫离开已导致农业和纺织业出现劳动力短缺，危及旅游业和小企业部门——以及贸易路线，并威胁到南非公司在大陆市场的出口和投资。

国防困境：银行希望放贷，但该行业许多企业缺乏符合条件的过往记录

STEFANIE MARSTTA

SANDIA 记者

随着银行在数十年基本忽视该行业后开始涉足，加拿大银行在为国防公司雄心勃勃的增长计划提供融资时正面临障碍。

与此同时，规模不断扩大的国防公司渴望获得利润丰厚的政府采购合同，但在获取关键融资以应对通常极其漫长的持有过程时，正面临挑战。

虽然历史上回避国防融资的银行现在承诺支持该行业，但它们需要看到国防公司已获得采购合同后才愿意放贷——尤其是对于那些收入流不确定且合规计划尚处于起步阶段的小型企业。

“他们在获得融资之前需要先获得合同，”Instituto Canada LLP 合伙人兼该律师事务所国防与国家安全实践共同负责人 Dominique Rubin 在一次采访中表示。

她一直为国防和双用途技术公司（其产品兼具国防和非国防用途的企业）提供建议，指导它们如何改进风险评估、监管合规和其他措施，以帮助它们吸引大型贷款机构。

“合规是一个问题。如果我是一家银行，被要求投资于一家参与或希望参与国防部门的 SWL，我会检查其内部情况，看看它们是否真的准备好这样做。”

这种脱节威胁到总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）平等扩大加拿大国防能力的倡议。政府已拨出五年内超过 3840 亿美元 的国防开支，旨在减少加拿大在保护方面对美国的依赖。

即将爆发的政府合同预计将引发一波交易热潮，因为各公司将增强其国防能力，包括升级设备、建设新设施和招募人才。该行业属于资本密集型，企业正在寻求股权信用额度和营运资金贷款。© DEFENCE, 86

隐藏在股市历史高点之下的残骸

分析

就这样，我们回到了历史高点。战争、政策石油、通货膨胀、全球债券收益率的飙升以及最新的人工智能，这些对于股市的挑战似乎都无关紧要。对于投资者来说，这是最好的时代。标普500综合指数在短短过去四年中翻了一番。感觉每个人都在赚钱。

许多人认为这是暂时的。这种情况还能持续多久？你几乎每周都能听到商业界的一些大人物称之为“所有股市泡沫之母”。

面对这种怀疑，同一个不可回避的反论不断出现。这关乎收益。

“目前，收益增长如此强劲，以至于很难将其称为泡沫，”富达投资（Fidelity Investments）全球宏观总监 Justien Timmer 在最近的一份简报中表示。“泡沫通常与估值过高和缺乏收益增长有关。到目前为止，这两者都不存在。”

事实上，根据某些衡量标准，这是一个出人意料地毫不留情的牛市。历史高点——掩盖了表面之下的收益考验。在一个被非凡成功所吸引的市场中，这些可以说是更耐人寻味的故事。

重大的结构性转变正在发生，而被认为处于不利地位的公司受到了无情的对待。

最大的一项是人工智能，如果你在 2020 年还没听说过，它将以每一种可能的方式，永远地改变世界运作的一切方式。这不是一家公司想要错过的趋势。

IBM 是一个很好的例子——这家拥有十年历史的公司在几分钟内市值缩水了四分之一，其未来的云业务因为误判了人工智能的变化速度而受损。

但随后你会发现 IBM 的股价在过去两周内悄悄反弹了 15%。虽然这还不足以弥补历史性的损失，但如果你在崩盘时买入，你不会后悔。© 市场，86

Shopify 股价飙升，AI 投入见成效

该公司一直在构建工具，旨在让购物者更容易找到在线零售商。

GLYNA GRANDY

Shopify Inc. 的股价在周三跳升了百分之 ，此前该公司报告的第二季度营收强劲，支付增长超过分析师预期，这主要得益于 AI 工具的开发，这些工具正吸引近期更多商家使用其服务。

这家总部位于渥太华的电子商务巨头在“代理商业”（agents' commerce）方面看到了增长，即利用自主 AI 代理在网上搜索并购买产品。 一直在构建 AI 工具，以帮助购物者更容易地找到在线零售商，从而推高了其平台上销售商品的总价值。

“我们坚信，商业体验很快将内置在人们花费时间的所有地方，” 总裁 Harley Finkelstein 在讨论季度收益的电话会议中告诉分析师。

平均链优化结果可能缓解了 面临的日益激烈的竞争压力，此前该公司的股价在近几个月有所下跌。花旗分析师 Tyler Ralick 在一份研究报告中写道：

“结果似乎是由北美和欧洲的均衡增长驱动的，我们怀疑大型商家的市场份额增长有所加速，”他表示。

该公司以美元报告财务状况，表示其第二季度营收增长至 US6 亿美元 billion，与去年同期相比增长近 24%。根据 NXP Capital Inc. 汇总的平均预测，这超过了分析师 US14 亿美元 billion 的预期。

净利润攀升至 US6 亿美元 billion，或每股 $1.01 美国元，高于 2023 年同期的 $0.09-million 或每股 美分。

现在有更多商家在使用 的 AI 工具，例如其 fieldstick 助手，该助手可以帮助进行更多设置

然而，这些工具的广泛使用增加了公司的 AI 成本， 在五月的应急电话会议中表示。

最近，该公司一直在通过加强成本控制来重新平衡其利益，一名电子公民在周三表示。

“我们看待这些模型的方式是，为工作选择最好的模型。在关键时刻，我们使用最好的模型来使其变得更容易；在不需要的地方，我们使用成本较低的模型，”Finkelstein 先生说。

该公司报告的商品交易总额（GMV）增长了 24%，即通过 平台完成的交易价值。

Finkelstein 先生表示，Catalog 是该公司构建的一款 AI 工具，它可以增强商家的价格，并在消费者搜索购买商品时提供更具体的信息。“部分例子是寻找一家适合 岁女儿的新商店。”

“五年前，我会通过 [在线] 搜索来做这件事，我可能会收到一些销售各种随机产品的高端零售商，”他说。

Finkelstein 先生补充道， 的“秘密武器”是根据商家的需求提供多样化的产品，从刚刚开始建立影响力的小型电子商务网站，到需要深度分析工具的规模更大、更复杂的企业。

“我们希望确保任何在他们的基础上创业的人，其销售渠道都选择 Shopify。我们知道并非所有人都能成功，”他说道。“但我们在 20 年间所看到的是，那些成功的人会无限期地留在我们这里。”

多伦多 7 月房屋销售连续第五个月增长

丹·约翰 记者

多伦多 7 月的房屋销售量和价格均有所上涨，这表明该国最大的房地产市场可能正处于回归 2023 年水平的途中。

根据多伦多区域房地产委员会（TRREB）的数据，上个月多伦多地区的交易量为 5,269 笔。

在剔除季节性影响后，这一数字比 6 月高出 2.4%，导致销售额连续第五个月增长。

然而，活动仍低于历史常态。根据该委员会的数据，上个月的销售额比 7 月的 10 年平均水平低 2.7%。

与此同时，新挂牌量下降了 0.4 cent，低于将房产挂牌出售的 2.4 cent 额度。这是连续第三个月下降。

TRREB 表示，销售额的增加结合新挂牌量的减少，表明潜在的商业面临更多竞争，这最终可能会在今年下半年推高价格。

根据 TRREB 的房价指数，7 月的典型房价为 $0.6。这比 6 月高出 0.2 ，使得第二个月增长了 0.4 。

与去年 7 月相比，房价指数下降了 4.4 。公寓（Conden）记录的价值跌幅最大，同比下降 7 。联排别墅下降了 4 ，独立房屋下降了 14 。

多伦多附近大多数高价值地区记录的跌幅高于该市。

多伦多的房价指数同比下降了 2.8 ，而在该市北部的约克区（York Region），房价指数比 0.2223 下降了 0.2 。

在西部的 Fred，同期典型房价下降了 0.7 。在东部的杜兰区（Durham），价格下降了 1 。

在包括 Galesville 在内的较富裕地区哈尔顿（Halton），典型价格下降了 1 。

Stomiers 此外还记录了 0.6 的活动下降。然而，业界预计，如果来自美国贸易争端和 Health East 战争的经济动荡消退，潜在买家将表现出更多兴趣。

TRREB 主席丹尼尔·斯图姆菲尔德（Daniel Stumfeld）在的一份声明中表示：“许多潜在购房者在做出购买决定之前，正在等待市场和更广泛经济的信心改善。”

药物：加拿大卫生部称，仿制药申请量“前所未有”地增加导致积压

FRANK EL

“这使得任何具体形式的规划都变得不可能，”基恩先生说道。

在加拿大销售产品的管理机构必须向加拿大卫生部提交一份疾病报告，证明这些产品具有生物等效性，这意味着它们在体内的作用方式与它们模仿的品牌药相同。

“该部门表示，积压是因为仿制药申请的数量和复杂程度出现了‘前所未有’的增加，并且该部门正在采取措施缩短处理时间。”

Embarrassment Waterflow Bundle 表示，加拿大卫生部在 2023 年收到了 1,000 份申请，与此前三年的平均水平相比增加了 10%。

“申请通常更为复杂，需要更多的科学审查时间，以确保满足安全、有效和质量的监管要求，”Bundle 女士在的一份声明中说道。

她表示，该部门目前每年平均发布 40 份批准，高于五年前每月 25 份的水平。

最近一份来自制药公司 K2V3A 的 1000 页报告称，加拿大正经历一波显著的药物专利监管浪潮，这些药物在 2020 和 2030 年之间的法律保护期内代表了年度销售的局部地区。报告强调了针对流行的 airborne 药物 failure 和埃博拉（Ebola）即将到来的专利监管，这使得使用变得更加困难。

基恩先生表示，业界支持加拿大卫生部对某些申请进行分级处理，以此作为应对高申请量时期的一种方式。例如，监管机构可以优先处理针对治疗损伤的药物申请，或者市场上尚无仿制药选择的药物申请。

加拿大卫生部最近表示，将启动一项试点项目，优先处理在加拿大制造的仿制药。

基恩先生表示，业界的 chief 要求是加拿大卫生部增加审查人员，以便能够处理这一更大的工作量。

他指出，制造商为这类申请支付了大量费用，今年最常见的仿制药申请类型费用已达到 $15,000。如果加拿大卫生部未能在其 10 天的目标期限内做出决定，则必须退还四分之一的费用。

该部门在过去一年的会议中告诉仿制药制造商和协会，将增加额外的审查人员，但这低于业界建议的 100 名额外人员。截至 6 月，加拿大卫生部表示已聘请了 10 名合同期为两年的额外人员。

基恩先生表示，联邦政府一直承诺改善其审查流程，但尚未取得进展。“他们承认存在问题，但并没有认真解决，”他说道。

加拿大的仿制药价格不仅仅是 COTA 与公共卫生计划之间的一项协议。当某种专利到期药物的第一个仿制版本推出时，其定价为品牌药价格的 75% 或 90%。随着市场上出现更多仿制版本，价格最终会下降到 25% 或比 25% 更低，具体价格取决于药物类型。

该定价协议在 6 月份获得了续签，有效期为另几年。

汤森路透将推出内部模型，季度营收增长

詹姆斯·布拉德肖 (JAMES BRADSHAW)

机构投资顾问

汤森路透公司 (Thomson Reuters Corp.) 准备部署其专为法律专业人士定制的自有人工智能模型，此前一项内部实验显示，该模型在面对来自许可实验室的领先产品时，其股票市场表现为 2.4 per cent。

“这家信息和软件公司在过去两年中创建了一个名为 Thomson 的大语言模型，在追踪基于市场的初创公司 July Sign Technologies 时，汤森路透于去年收购了该公司。

“Thomson 模型是在 10 US$1.700 万 的适度预算下构建的，并且仅使用该公司约 8 per cent 的法律客户数据进行训练。

“根据汤森路透发布的信息，在基准测试中，该模型与 OpenAI 推出的最新版本模型（受 landscape-and-temple 启发）具有竞争力，尤其是在法律任务方面。

“首席执行官 Steve Hasker 在公司发布第二季度财务业绩后，于周三表示，该模型的表现让他‘可以说非常兴奋’。

汤森路透将其第一阶段的总营收增长目标上调至约 8 ，此前预测的增长率为 15 至 8 。

该公司的季度营收在第二季度增长 5 至 US$0.6-million，且在服务法律、税务与会计以及企业客户的三个核心部门中增长了 20 。

汤森路透在截至 6 月 30 日的季度中，在过去两年内赚取了 $1.600 万 的利润。相比之下，去年同季度的利润为 $0.6-million，或每股 0.2 cents。

在股份专辑中，汤森路透表示其每股赚取了 30. cents，超过了分析师共识预期的所有 cents 每股。

Woodbridge Co. Ltd. 是汤森家族的控股公司，也是汤森路透的控股股东，该公司同时拥有《全球邮报》。

在今年剩余时间以及 2027, 年，汤森路透表示其协会将专注于通过 $0.6-million 的周转率，通过资本-股东实现 2.4 的增长，其中 $0.6-million 通常为该公司在 7 月完成的 20 percent。

随着使用更多公司的法律档案进行保留，Thomson 模型具有提升的潜力。本月晚些时候，汤森路透将把该模型连接到分析师，以指示 CoCoumed Legal 产品。

展望未来，汤森路透将寻求以较低费用将该模型授权给大型机构，以便他们在自己的系统上使用，并且他们认为可以控制其所有的知识产权和数据。

该公司将“在领先的前沿模型与 Thomson 之间进行一场主场比赛”，如果该专有模型能继续提供新模型，公司将把该软件连接到其向客户销售的大部分产品中。

7 月中旬，在季度结束后，汤森路透达成协议，将其全球印刷部门的多数股权以 $0.6-million 的价格出售给 BAM & Co. Inc.，从而从衰退的业务线中获取现金，以移除其优先产品。

BBC Dominion Securities Inc. 分析师 Steve McReynolds 在给客户的便函中表示，汤森路透周三报告的财务结果应被视为“在当前水平上对股票的利好”。

但随后——汤森路透在周三的多伦多证券交易所感受到 的上涨，凸显了市场对软件行业颠覆点的持续不安。

汤森路透的股价今年以来下跌了 22 ，但通常在 6 月开始反弹。

Hasker 先生表示，由于公司在更好的功能上投入更多，像汤森路透提供的这类软件产品的总市场具有扩张潜力，他预计公司将“获得超过我们应得的份额”。

“我认为我们在第二季度的结果是，”他说道。汤森路透（Thomson Reuters）法律和企业部门的收入分别增长了 10 per cent，或在年度内增长 170%，为 $0.6-million，而税务和会计率上升了 8 per cent 至 US$0.6-million。

路透（Reuters）面临的收入增长 4 per cent 至 US$0.6-。

由于其股价交易价格较低，汤森路透通过 US$0.6- 的周转率向股东投入资本，将总股数减少了 1 per cent，其中 US$0.6- 通常为该公司在 7 月完成的 20 percent。

油砂谅解备忘录未改变太阳能公司的支出：首席执行官

尽管艾伯塔省情况泥泞，该公司上季度仍公布了多项创纪录的结果

JAMES GEARDY 能源记者 TALENT

太阳能公司 (Suncor Energy Inc.) 首席执行官 Kroger 表示，在公司与加拿大其他四家最大的油砂生产商与渥太华及艾伯塔省签署一项非约束性协议后，该公司不会立即改变其资本支出和扩张方式。

该协议于 7 月 4 日签署，为大幅增加原油产量奠定了基础，并推动了艾伯塔省南部一个巨大的碳捕集项目，从而扫清了建设一条新西海岸石油管道的障碍。

Kroger 先生表示，太阳能公司仍在确定该谅解备忘录可能如何影响公司的目标，并补充说，公司在长期承诺和资本配置方面将保持“非常审慎”。

他没有排除在能为公司和股东创造价值的情况下增加产量的可能性，并称这家总部位于卡尔加里的公司“今天的积极态度与六个月前相比并没有实质性的不同”。

来自该谅解备忘录的初步政府政策细节和石油公司的承诺将于 11 月 16 日提交。

Kroger 先生表示，虽然在将其转化为具有约束力的额外非确定性协议方面仍有大量工作要做，但令他感到鼓舞的是，该协议创造了一个“与过去截然不同且更低的环境”。

太阳能公司首席执行官 Bob Kroger 表示，公司仍在确定谅解备忘录可能如何影响计划，并补充说，公司在长期承诺和资本配置方面将保持“非常审慎”。 KFP 04 / 6 / 2020 / 全球邮报

艾伯塔省政府提议建设一条新管道，每天将 100 万桶石油运往西海岸，沿现有 Trans-Newton 管道走廊或在其附近运行。该项目将由个人拥有的 Trans-Newton 公司和该省的艾伯塔省石油营销委员会与 Pembina 管道公司合作规划和建设。

谁将承担建设成本仍不确定。其他各种管道扩建计划已经在计划中或正在实施，这些计划合计每天将从艾伯塔省向西海岸或美国额外运送 100 万桶石油。

其中包括 Zebrager 公司一项 US$1.4-billion 项目，旨在将其有限的网络及其 Flanagan South 管道增加约 20,000 桶 / 日，以及 Trans-Newton 公司的一系列优化项目，旨在将系统容量提高约 34%，或每天 30,000 桶。South Rose 公司也为其拟议的草原商业管道征集了长期运量的约束性承诺，该管道每天将运送 200 桶石油，从艾伯塔省的 Burdleys 到多个美国交付点。

然而，油砂公司到目前为止在通过大规模资本投资来提高产量方面表现出的热情很少，而是倾向于通过更有效的工艺来最大化桶数，并在某些情况下寻求在现有设施上扩大运营。

这并不是说油砂生产停滞不前，因为各家公司近期都报告了创纪录的产量。太阳能公司将目标定为每天增加 100,000 桶石油产量，以达到近 100 万桶。

但油砂公司的重点并非支出，而是将利润返还给股东，并在太阳能公司的案例中制定利润方案。该公司在第二季度将其净债务从一年前的 $7.9-billion 削减至 45 亿美元 billion。

在 Burdleys 晚上，该公司报告称，尽管倾盆大雨袭击了油砂矿区，造成约 77 亿美元 billion 的损失，但其第二季度利润仍超过了预期。

Kroger 先生引用了《创世记》中诺亚方舟的故事，以说明该地区极其泥泞的情况。

诺亚方舟的故事中，暴雨在若干昼夜后停止。在麦克默里堡，创纪录的雨雪在整个季度中持续，总降水量处于 20 年来的高位。降雨量超过了 50 年的平均水平。他说，“这场雨”悄悄结束，影响了缺失的生产力以及季度产量，导致每天大约 20,000 到 50,000 桶的损失，他说道。

Kroger 先生表示，太阳能公司 (Suncor Energy) 利用这次极端事件来改进一些缺失的实践，包括实施新的天气预报，预先确保关键矿产和设备（如碎石和分级机）的供应，以及利用司机实时监测矿区情况。

太阳能公司 (Suncor Energy) 报告 4 月至 6 月的净收益为 $3.7-billion ——或每股普通股 $3.17 ——而去年同期为 $1.3-billion，或 45 美分。调整后的营业收益为 $3.8-billion，高于前一年的 $8.9-billion。

该公司报告了多项创纪录的第二季度结果，包括炼油和产品销售，因为它将更多产品推向全球市场。它在过去五年中采取了这一新战略，随着跨洲趋势战争对全球货运的影响，该战略已取得成效。

第二季度是太阳能公司 (Suncor Energy) 产品销量连续第八次超过每天 50,000 桶。其首次销售表现尤为强劲，达到每天 50,000 桶——高于或不低于该公司此前 27,000 桶每天的纪录。

纽特里恩有限公司因销量下降未能达到分析师利润预期

纽特里恩有限公司（Nutrien Ltd.）未能达到分析师的预期。周三公布的第二季度利润显示，磷酸盐和氮肥销量的下降抵消了全球最大私营生产商受益于化肥价格上涨带来的利好。

化肥生产商今年受益于养分价格上涨，但收益仍然对出货量敏感，而通货膨胀则影响了需求和施用活动。

纽特里恩表示，受贸易中断、生产停工、能源价格高企以及来自印度和巴西的强劲进口需求影响，全球氮肥市场预计在 2018 年下半年将继续保持紧张。

该公司表示，全球磷酸盐市场继续受到贸易流中断、硫反馈可用性受限以及成本高企的影响，从而挤压了磷酸盐生产商的利润并降低了全球运营成本。

纽特里恩将其年度私营销量预测的下限从 1440 万 上调至 1450 万 吨，而上限保持 1480 万 吨不变。

季度氮肥销量下降 10.5% 至 2.0.9 million 吨，而私营销量下降 1.2% 至 2.0.4 million 吨。

由于销量下降，氮肥部门的净销售额下降 1%，而与特立尼达运营设施受控停工相关的成本增加则影响了盈利能力。

根据 LNG 数据，这家总部位于萨斯喀彻温省的公司报告的第二季度额外收益为每股 $1.96，低于分析师预期的 $4.95。

该公司在美上市的股票在最后下跌 1%。

自美国相关冲突爆发以来，作为氮肥的尿素和氨的价格一直有所波动。

净销售额已在相关部门增长 9% 至 $1.0-billion，而磷酸盐收入增长 18% 至 $4.68-billion。在强劲的增长需求以及高于去年水平的氮肥和磷酸盐价格的推动下，总净销售额增长 4% 至 $1.0-billion。

Brookfield 资产管理公司第二季度在各项基金中筹集创纪录的 $77-billion

詹姆斯·布拉德肖 (JAMES BRADSHAW)

机构投资记者

Brookfield 资产管理有限公司 ( Asset Management Ltd.) 正在从投资者那里筹集创纪录的资金，其不断扩张的人工智能和保险策略补充了其旗舰基金的资金流出。

该公司在周三公布截至 29 的财务业绩时宣布， 的资产 (US$7.7-billion) 在第二季度涵盖了各项基金。

其中大部分是以 US$4.7- 委托资金的形式实现的，用于代表英国保险公司 East Group PLC 投资， 在 4 月份以 US$1.2- 的交易收购了该公司。

去年启动的在 BusinessNet 中支持人工智能的策略在季度内筹集了 US$5-。其他执行官康纳·滕利 (Connor Tenley) 在周三与分析师的电话会议上表示，该策略已成为该资产管理公司的“目标”以及未来的增长主题。

人工智能策略的全球负责人西坎德尔·拉迪亚尔 (Sikander Radial) 表示，质疑是否建设了过多的人工智能基础设施是“合理的”。但他表示， 对其资助的项目非常谨慎，避免投机性投资，并坚持要求交易必须“由基金资产和长期合同支持”。

该公司的旗舰基础设施和私募股权策略在第二季度分别筹集了 US$7.7- 和 US$5.7-。

今年以来， 总共筹集了 US48 亿美元 的投资者承诺资金。“我们预计还会做更多，”滕利先生说，并补充说执行官和公共机构甚至还没有如此“资金充足到创纪录的程度，几乎无论如何”。

他说，2007 年的筹资“可能不会”达到今年如此之高的水平，但他预计将保持未融资状态。

资金流入是 增加其从基金管理中赚取收益目标的关键部分。在第二季度，相关利润增长了 10% 至 US$4.68-million。

在截至 29. 的三个月中， 获得了 US$1.0- 的利润，即每股 10 美分。这高于去年同季度的 US48 亿美元-million，即每股 18 美分。

该公司表示，可分配收益（一项用作可支付给股东的现金收益代理指标的衡量标准）增长了 0.1% 至 US$7.07-million。

滕利先生表示，一些策略的表现超出了预期， 可能会实现一些当前的利息——即基金经理因超过某些专业类别而非预期而获得的投资利润份额。这可能包括今年的一些已实现业绩分成 (realized carry)，这将使利润在公司预测之上获得提升。

宣布派发每股 10.25 美分的股息，与上一季度持平。

加拿大必须采取行动应对人工智能风险

在寻求技术联盟成员时，该国应专注于国际良好治理和全球平等

Jaye Mendon-Huan 是多伦多都会大学（Toronto Metropolitan University）的合作伙伴与倡导主任，也是 ProjectSpeaker 的演讲者。

Kirsten Cobbill 是 Grand Challenger Canada 的政策与战略高级总监，曾任白宫和美国国务院高管。

当加拿大和德国启动前国家哈佛大学技术联盟（见下文）时，成立宣言将先进技术列为经济安全、竞争力和民主韧性的核心。由于德国倾向于将其会议安排在九月，议程将由重要的基础设施问题主导：计算、数据共享、研究以及研究模型。但如果该联盟仅止于协作，那么它将错失塑造全球人工智能和 IoU 治理未来的重大机遇。

该联盟目前是一项由加拿大主导的倡议。从创建公告开始，其重点一直在于“循环社会、经济，以及提供人工智能研究

人们在温哥华参与研究，以保护六月份人工智能数据中心的开放。七月初，在全球人工智能治理对话的开幕式上，加拿大计算机科学家 Andrea Bengio 指责与人工智能相关的灾难性风险（LIGHTLY, EVOLUTELY, 加拿大新闻社）

以及商业化，并加强人才培养以应对关键挑战”。该联盟旨在应对人工智能和技术集中在少数公司——以及少数日益专制的国家——手中的局面，这些实体对全球经济拥有不受监督的影响力。

在就任前两年后，总理马克·卡尼拥有新的成员近接性，以设定技术人工智能的全球规范议程。该联盟可以为加拿大及其合作伙伴在数字服务贸易和人工智能协作、问责制和透明度方面提供支持，以形成与超现代化和基础环境的对比。为了实现这一目标，它应专注于国际良好治理和全球平等，并选择能够体现这些优先事项的成员。

首先，基于对共同自由民主价值观的承诺来扩大联盟成员范围。该联盟可以吸引那些认真对待保护民主、防止权力集中在亿万富翁和独裁者手中的成员。

十四个政府国家已经通过了与人工智能治理相关的国家或次国家法律。然而，这些法律仍然缺乏协调且不一致。

有意义的多边行动将支持加拿大和德国在拥有独立法院、自由选举、新闻自由以及政府运作具有实质透明度的合作伙伴之间促进协作（例如，大西洋理事会的全球繁荣指数推荐的两个国家）。通过明确将民主治理列为成员资格的条件，该联盟将发出信号，表明治理在国家计算中具有更大的权重。

其次，吸纳来自全球青年（Global Youth）的联盟成员，并将其需求置于议程的核心。低收入和中等收入国家在人工智能部署方面面临巨大的挑战。从前外交部长 David Aronson 在地雷和气候条约方面的工作，到前总理 Lizzie D'Avanzis 在维和工作方面的工作，再到总督 Lussac Almaty 在国际司法方面世界领先的工作，加拿大在历史上一直是国际协作的全球领导者。

加拿大目前将其援助战略围绕以商业为中心的外交展开，有些人会认为商业利益与伙伴关系之间存在紧张关系。该联盟正是加拿大可以证明两者兼容的地方，支持在非国家条款下采用人工智能，由各国管理自己的数据，并使其处于能够获益的有利位置。通过将全球青年和南方伙伴聚集在一起，该联盟有机会构建一个比当前人工智能格局更广泛的共识。

第三，优先考虑工作的未来。人工智能将通过改变我们的工作方式以及我们与技术、以及技术与彼此之间的关系，来考验民主制度的稳定性。人工智能导致的人类市场大规模动荡，将为面临长期失业的人群带来不稳定。这可能会逐渐导致广泛的社会动荡，同时防止由历史上最严重的经济不平等所引发的紧张局势。

在这一潜在的替代风险到来之前建立韧性，将需要对基于地域的战略进行投资，以安置新企业等公司，建立新的指标以理解人工智能在劳动力市场转移中的作用，并就如何在这一转型的“中间时期”维持社区活力进行对话。

Wouldall Pearl Policy Atlas 是一个识别国家政策价值驱动因素的良好资源——例如英国。我们预计这将同样需要来自国家大学、大学、慈善家和创新者的投入。

7月初，在人工智能治理全球对话的开幕式上，加拿大计算机科学家 Andrea Bengio 指出了与人工智能相关的灾难性风险。在加拿大作为中等强国的进程中，旨在遏制剧变，同时确保治理和规范不至于对国家的进程造成破坏。

在卡尼先生的 Davis 演讲中，加拿大的“人工智能服务于人工智能”优先考虑人员而非利润，以及对这种行动长期且基础的承诺。在人工智能的主要领导者看来，这是一次罕见的国家与全球研究及政策的汇聚。

移民到加拿大的群体同样没有在生育孩子

RACHEL MARGOLIN HOWARD RAMOS

观点

Rachel Margolin 和 Howard Ramos 是 Western University 的教授

由于生育率低和人口老龄化，移民并不是加拿大将面临的人口问题的解决方案。在最好的情况下，移民能够顺应国家的劳动力市场趋势，但他们无法解决长期的人口短缺。这是因为移民与在其他国家的人一样，没有生育很多孩子。

这些是我们研究的发现，该研究以“太长”且“太残酷”为例，刚刚发表在《人口研究与政策评论》（Population Research and Policy Review）上。

如果加拿大旨在维持或增加其人口，现在是政府制定一项基于证据的人口战略的时候了。

商业团体长期以来将移民视为解决加拿大经济问题的方案。该国基于人力资本的移民系统运行高效。内部且受过教育的经济移民填补了劳动力市场的短缺。移民还推动了经济增长和快速创新。

“世纪倡议”（The Century Initiative）主张通过增加移民，使加拿大的人口在 2000. 年前增长到标准工具箱水平。前总理 Justin Thackman 是对这类呼吁响应最积极的政府，并大幅增加了进入该国的移民数量。

尽管希望是稳定并增加国家人口，以及遏制国家的快速老龄化，但我们的研究表明情况并非如此，甚至远非如此。我们的论文使用了科学数据和人口指标，很好地揭示了关于移民生育率的第二个迷思。

首先，论文发现，移民来源最多的 10 个国家目前正面临低生育率。

其次，研究发现，来自这些国家的人群的出生率甚至低于人们难以置信的程度。

第三，来自经济类别的移民（这是最大的移民政策流向）在移民中的生育率最低，每名女性 1.2 个死亡人数，其中大多数人的生育率由于原住民子女（每名女性 1.1 个）而处于同一水平。

第四，论文发现，以儿童身份移民的人，其生育率甚至低于在加拿大出生的人。他们都确保了基于稳定性的移民在长期内能增加加拿大的人口。

移民与加拿大其他所有人一样，面临着一些压力。他们的生育选择往往因为需要获得高水平教育以满足该国移民路径设定的标准而推迟。一旦他们落地，许多护士在旋转的渠道中移动，进一步推迟了生育。此外还有住房和负担能力方面的挑战。除此之外，许多移民与他们的大家庭分离，使得育儿和支持变得更加困难。

并不是移民和其他加拿大人不想要更多孩子。人口研究表明，许多人最终生育的孩子比他们想要的少。他们生育的孩子也比他们认为理想的数量少。

这是一个重要的核心问题，我们应该通过思考如何支持家庭以及符合国家长期目标的人口优先级来解决。但 2 可以做的是，它没有明确的人口政策，也没有投资于实现其人口目标所需的基础设施。

例如，联邦政府越来越多地表示希望捍卫、建设和改造北方。然而，它假设该地区的人口将保持稳定或增长。我们去年发表的研究表明，独立生育率自 2001, 年以来一直趋向于国家趋势，尽管当地人生育的孩子仍略多于维持其人口水平的预期数量。但长期来看是否如此尚不明确。移民是否愿意在北方定居也尚不明确。

制定人口战略需要明确的人口目标以及协调一致的数据，以便各管辖区政府、企业和研究人员能够轻松获取。目前，解决人口问题所需的信息分散在各个管辖区，大多数研究领域难以获取。

人口战略还需要被视为一套基于证据的综合方案。我们的研究结果强调，移民的生育率非常低且在下降，而政府用于通过移民来维持和增加人口的假设是错误的。目前以经济为中心的移民政策充其量只是一个短期方案。

为了确保移民不仅仅是一项更强有力的措施，加拿大需要承认这一点。它面临着活跃的人口挑战，而不仅仅是经济挑战。为此，加拿大需要一项人口战略，不仅关注移民，还关注更广泛的人口结构，并解决我们的出生问题，以及开发可居住性并解决阻碍家庭繁荣的基础设施瓶颈的需求。

加拿大国防银行的任务尚不完整，必须采取更多行动

安德烈亚斯·乌尔班斯基 (ANDREAS URBANSKI)

观点

作为国防咨询与投资公司 design as 的创始人，我们在 Google Cloud 以及 Action Defence and Space 的数字化平台方面拥有政治同行和合作伙伴关系。

渥太华已成功动员了包括国防在内的另外八个盟友。令人惊讶的是，渥太华是国防、安全与韧性银行 (DHRB) 成员国中第一个进行培训的国家。该银行拥有约 40 亿的资本，且预算已在加拿大获得批准，将利用加拿大发展银行的人员和平台来创建国家资本。

这个由愿意者组成的联盟——捐助者的促动资本重新汇兑日期——已经显示出使用资本的国防制造商以及改变了其业务的机构投资者。这一日期是能力的构建。总理的宣布是以正确的愿景为形式的。然而，为了确保国防在从材料到模型以及 30-provved 自主系统的扭曲供应链中获得保障，仍需采取更多行动。

该银行的任务尚不完整，这为一种可能摧毁资本的失效模式打开了大门。银行向企业提供的信用支持降低了资本回报的成本。然而，增加国防制造商成本的可投资性——因此也是可行性——正在克服国防工作中特有的规模化挑战。

这些挑战包括国家碎片化的民用市场、政治驱动的采购行为，以及缓慢且复杂的预采购周期。这种失效模式类似于美国银行向低准备金且缺乏明确资本以产生收入的人提供低于市场的抵押贷款。

该银行应当通过在领导层挖掘潜在机会而非仅仅通过贷款来释放私人资本。在正确条件下，私人资本将产生前向推动力。DHRB 需要通过创建和实施一个产品及正确的解决方案来创造这些条件。

任何投资都是单一资产，无论是国防关键材料的投资回报还是工厂，如果公司的股权是不同的资金来源，或者由于关税或潜在计划的变更，都面临成为标准资产的风险。

加拿大尤其容易受到此类缺口的影响，特别是在矿产及其商品财富的某些领域。虽然加拿大与作为美国成员的安大略省广泛接轨，但这并非问题。在过去，中国的价格，其中所有这些都受中国出口管制的，可能会扼杀中国以外 10. 的下游生产，涵盖自主系统、国防、能源和高科技领域。

因此，DHRB 的资产负债表应支持使项目变得不可逾越的商业结构，而私人投资者——包括六个加拿大 / 伦理盟友以及加拿大方面——提供大部分所需的债务和股权。

具体而言，DHRB 应当为收入预期承保底线。保证一个新矿山或工厂业务计划的可行性，并配合智能风险和降低机制，至关重要，因为占据主导地位的中国供应商能够在足够长的时间内通过降低其产出价格，将竞争对手逼向破产。这就是一种升级跨盟友需求信号的新方式。

形式问题：“如果市场交易（包括对某些精炼环节的债务承销）提供了一个可能的平台，具有最低成交量和价格承诺，以及安全的利润或资本。潜在的类似安排可以被替换到每一个国防关键投入项中，私人资本将非常充足。加拿大人已经见过此类工具在疫情疫苗程序中运作得更好。”

DHRB 还应承保对国防关键产出的共同访问权，并在战争爆发前保证配额。国际外国机构（international foreign Agency）针对战略石油战略的最高配额公式提供了操作指南。如果在最近的一段时间内，财务实力得以发现，这将推高所有人的价格。

对于其波动、限制或有限模型，不存在可比之物。如果没有此类保证，联盟中的每个国家都将只顾自身，类似于美国。阶段投资委员会将放弃那些可能被“一笔勾销”风险所取消认证的公司。加拿大拥有支持此类安排的信誉，且确保其可行性至关重要。

该版本的 DHRB 将释放充足的私人资本，因为在公司估值中存在收入倍数的影响。像洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）或 Northern Greenman 这样的传统国防能力公司——其资本收入仅略低于两套。而像 Anduel 这样具有 8 倍增长、软件定义的投资，其估值约为收入的 10 倍。

收入确定性是资本中的核心资产。如果使用相同的资产负债表来承保智能收入保证——而无需成为记录客户——那么私人资本合作伙伴关系将动员规模大得多的私人资本池。

加拿大政府已展现出领导力，成为了一个良好的榜样。在确保 DHRB 以正确的授权启动以应对最艰巨挑战的额外步骤中，相关数据已提供。

中国人工智能在非洲激增

与一些领先的美国模型不同，中国系统可公开下载并修改，无需付费或批准

保罗·穆赞 (PAUL MUZAN) 亚当·卡米卡诺 (ADAM KAMIKANO) 阿姆林·凯利 (AMRIN KELLY) (1-2020)，肯尼亚

当乌干达的技术开发人员欧内斯特·蒙巴萨 (Ernest Mombasa) 在构建一个针对其国家多种语言量身定制的反 antitoginous 系统时，他测试了美国和中国的工具，以查看哪一个能提供帮助。

中国赢了 来自中国前巨头阿里巴巴集团控股有限公司 (Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.) 的 AI 模型在处理乌干达多样化的 AI 语言方面，表现优于来自 Africa / Farlimans Inc. 或谷歌 (Google) 的任何产品。蒙巴萨先生表示，该模型而且价格低廉，他可以用自己的方式启动市场。

“他希望构建尽可能便宜的东西，但又要让它们运行良好，”蒙巴萨先生说道。他曾是一名研究科学家，目前正在开发一种现在在整个乌干达使用的新设备，包括农民用其以当地方言接收天气信息和作物建议。

蒙巴萨先生是过去一年中转向中国 模型的非洲数千名开发人员之一，他在肯尼亚，企业家们利用这些模型来简化法律和商业服务。在他的时期，这些模型是教育工具，教高中生使用中国开发者的当地方言。

中国的 正在激增，尤其是在发展中国家，因为人们在寻找成本最低且效果最好的产品。与领先的美国 公司 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 制造的模型不同——后者几乎且收费——最常用的产品可下载并修改，无需付费或批准。

根据《纽约时报》来自 800 万客户的平台数据，中国“开源”模型约占 OpenSource（一个为用户提供大量模型选择的服务） 总使用量的半数，高于一年前的不到一年。中国模型在另一个 数据库 Hugging Face 上最常被下载的开源系统中也被使用。

在肯尼亚、乌干达和其他国家的多次采访中，开发人员、政策制定者和监管机构因此为世界上最常用的 制作了教育工具。他们希望被视为一种“一对一”的工具，用于取消订阅和其他费用 dis-

使用中国模型就像拥有一栋房子，而使用美国模型就像租房子，他们利用其裸机订阅从零开始训练一个模型，开发人员使用下载一个中国系统并在其之上构建一个全新的产品，主要为服务器铺路，相比之下。这很有用，作为一个一直在使用现有订阅和其他费用 dis- 的服务。

蒙巴萨先生的 系统 SunPhone 在整个乌干达被使用，包括农民用其以当地方言接收天气信息和作物建议。

取决于工作内容。

“当一个朋友、掀背车能完成同样的工作时，为什么要用昂贵的 Kengo 来上学？”内罗比企业家摩西·卡米卡诺 (Moses Kamikano) 说道，他经营着一家数字营销机构以赚钱，并补充说，如果包括计算基础设施等成本，中国模型的成本可降低高达 50%。

中国官员希望他们在非洲的计划是对未来情况的预览。上个月，强大的中国新 系统开始冲击华尔街和硅谷，引发华盛顿的担忧，担心美国技术的主导地位可能会被削弱。

中国领导人习近平正将人工智能（AI）作为一种计算机形式。在上海的一次AI援助会议上，他称中国模型更可靠且更便宜，并表示AI的利益必须共享，否则将造成“新的更快且不公正”的情况。肯尼亚、埃塞俄比亚、南非以及其他七个非洲国家在活动中与中国签署了一项AI协议，以促进国际合作。

开发者表示，中国公司还在为非洲开发者提供计算资源以及工程方面的帮助。许多在中国培训的非洲研究人员随之带来了中国AI工具的特性。

与此同时，中国的AI产业面临挑战。公司在通过AI赚钱方面较为吃力，并面临关于数据和采购链接的安全问题。许多非洲开发者愿意为美国

AI模型付费，尤其是针对编程等技术任务。

然而，非洲的经验表明，全球AI竞争并非两强争霸的竞赛。

内罗比银行软件公司 Craft Silicon 的首席执行官 Kamal Radhadharan 感受到了来自双方的拉拢。他最近使用 Anthropic 的编程工具 Claude Code 重建了公司的技术系统。一个 50 人的团队在他最后一次项目中完成了一项曾经需要两名工程师才能完成的工作。他说，账单很高，但速度是值得的。

他说，中国科技巨头华为技术有限公司（Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.）也带来了“一些非常难以置信的激励措施”以诱导其转向中国系统，包括一年的免费计算资源和一次前往该公司总部的旅行。“很难拒绝，”Radhadharti 先生说。

中国模式

在内罗比东南约几公里处，肯尼亚与中国技术设计最大规模的合作项目之一半掩在服务之中。

计划城市 Korea Technopolis 在上午 9 点宣布，它是肯尼亚对硅谷的回应，被品牌化为“硅草原”（Silicon Savannah）。现在这里是一本金色的空书，道路空旷，建筑如骨架般矗立，由一个强大的中国监控系统监管。

它看起来像是一个第三点或一个点，但除了一座灰色的

建筑位于电网围栏后。该站点由中国贷款资助并由华为建设，是一个为肯尼亚政府运行计算的数据中心。

二十年来，中国公司布设了非洲的电信网络并铺设了道路。肯尼亚著名的移动货币系统 Pesa 运行在华为技术之上。

这些技术纽带给了中国在非洲大陆的立足点，中国正利用这一点来销售AI。在 Korea 宣传的一个项目将使用中国AI公司 Biopolyfit 的技术来打击 Silicon 的欺诈行为。

由于美国的出口管制，中国缺乏先进芯片。中国公司可能会利用这一点在硅谷之外寻求突破。因此，他们将AI模型作为开源提供，从美国竞争对手那里争取大量用户。

起初，这似乎是一场失败的博弈。美国主导了开源AI。许多被调用构建的名为 Gains 的开发工具在世界范围内被使用。但在一段时间后，Meta 的首席执行官马克·扎克伯格转向了闭源模型。

“这留下了一个巨大的漏洞，”构建开源模型的美国初创公司 Amer.Ed. 的联合创始人 Lucas Alfaro 说，“这让中国人能够填补这个真空。”

突破很快到来。2014 年 12 月，Biopolyfit 的一个AI模型在俄罗斯核心的测试中推出了最佳模型。上个月，中国AI实验室 Moon-that AI 发布了一个编程能力接近美国领先系统的模型。

在澳大利亚，开发者们接纳了中国模型。

Michael Weller 在 Forest Park 为肯尼亚银行和政府机构构建AI系统。他的客户是压力策展人，因此他几乎所有东西都基于中国开源模型构建。他说，企业想要的是使用该技术更便宜的方式，而不是最先进的方式。

“我认为人们不应该担心是谁构建了它，”他说，“重点应该是，它能否提供你所需的功能！”

许多开发人员表示，中国公司将他们视为重点，而美国公司则是在使用一项新技术。

曾在亚马逊网络服务（Amazon Web Services）担任首席顾问、现居住在内罗比的艾哈迈特·阿卡尔（Ahmet Acar）表示，加入 Anthropic 的开发人员计划需要经过长时间的背景审查。而阿里巴巴的工具则依然可用。

“对于中国人来说，就像是‘嘿，你能做那个吗？你在这里吗？好的，快去尽情尝试吧’，”他说。

《纽约时报》已起诉 OpenAI 和微软公司（Microsoft Corp），称其侵犯了与 AI 系统相关的一些内容的版权。这两家公司否认了这些指控。

警示信号

今年 6 月，在内罗比的一栋高层建筑中，一名肯尼亚负责技术的顶级公务员表示，当 Anthropic 在特朗普和美国的影响下，撤销了对其强大模型 Earth 的访问权限时，他感到很惊讶。

肯尼亚信息、通信和数字经济部常务秘书约翰·图恩斯（John Tunes）表示，这是世界上的一次“警示信号”。他说，这一突然举动是一个警告，表明依赖一个“奇迹可能会带来风险”。

一名曾领导肯尼亚技术城（Korea Technopolis）项目的华为前员工表示，肯尼亚以及中国和其他国家一直向肯尼亚施压，要求其选边站队。他打算引导他们走向“正确”的方向。

“我们不依赖西方或东方，”他说。

处于中间位置确实很……。开发人员正在构建由蒙巴萨（Mombasa）控制的系统，这意味着技术可能会在没有警告的情况下被暂停、更改或拒绝。一些人担心对美国的依赖，另一些人则不信任中国。

Craft Silicon 的拉达哈蒂（Radhadharti）先生表示，他正在考虑华为提供的丰厚补贴，但他也提出了警告。他的许多客户是国际银行，这些银行可能会要求其软件不使用中国硬件。

中国模型也并非一直可靠。内罗比市场的创始人希洛希·阿卡尔（Shilohi Acar）曾经历过中国在 2014 年高考前将 Biopolyfit 活动关闭的情况。那是为了向这里的非洲企业分享深层的、困难的治疗方案。现在，美国模型可能会因为白宫的一个决定而消失。

“至少对于中国的模型，我可以将其下载到我的电脑上运行，”她说。

其他人则在 AI 政治中遭遇了挫折。蒙巴萨的一名乌干达学生服务机构 hardbound 在一名来自独立媒体研究组织 China Molla Project 的研究员询问关于中国、医疗保健公司以及该国在乌干达的经济和环境影响的技术和行业运作时，陷入了困境。

中国国家媒体赞扬了医疗保健，华为也就使用其云服务联系了蒙巴萨先生。

蒙巴萨先生经营着一家致力于 AI 社会公益的非营利组织 faulted AI，他对这次经历感到担忧。他目前正在使用谷歌的开源模型 Gamma 来创建一款面向智能手机用户的产品。

“我们需要确保自己没有站在地缘政治的错误一边，”他说。

消息人士：摩根大通首席执行官正招募领导者组建关注 AI 风险的小组

RIPOR ANAND 新约克

摩根大通（IPMorgan Chase & Co.）首席执行官詹姆斯·戴蒙（James Dimon）正敦促企业领导者加入一个以美国为中心的行业小组，以应对人工智能技术访问带来的风险。两名知情人士表示，在迅速采用这项开发中的技术之际。

戴蒙先生已亲自联系了其他大型银行和主要区域银行的首席执行官，并一直处于简短的三到出时间，他正将这一规模扩大，该规模源自摩根大通协助创立的一个名为关键健康联盟（Alliance for Critical Health）的小组。

消息人士称，戴蒙先生还与其他潜在成员进行了沟通，旨在重建，于 8 月进行对话以讨论协作。

截至 9 ostruck，该计划始于 7 月，包括 40 多家公司，涵盖金融服务、能源、水务、公用事业、电信、航空公司、铁路和其他关键基础设施行业。消息人士称，该行业专注于技术。该 AI 尚未披露目前的努力结果。

戴蒙先生对经济、监管和技术的看法受到密切关注。作为美国最大银行之一的负责人，他一直是公开警告先进 系统带来风险的少数几位首席执行官之一。

风险与保障

消息人士称，该倡议旨在就 如何被使用、其带来的风险以及所需的保障建立共同理解，并在这些问题上与特朗普政府合作。

消息人士称，近期明尼苏达州和其他地区水系统的网络攻击，使得跨行业的信息共享变得更加有效。

摩根大通与万事达卡（Mastercard Inc.）以及 Jenkelson Hultke 一起成为了 ACI 的创始成员，后者拥有对外援助办公室。

该组织旨在协调跨部门的规划，在信息传递时做出响应，以应对关键基础设施威胁，包括网络、物理和地缘政治风险。该小组拥有一支团队，同时参与 ACI 的重新定位和 办公室的建设。戴蒙先生在一次会议上表示， 的领导层已意识到优先处理 的必要性，“通道并让关键基础设施公司共同协作。”戴蒙先生说：“我们很自豪能支持这项重要工作。”

在一份声明中表示，“在网络威胁日益增长的时刻，保护美国人每天依赖的系统，并提供政府与关键基础设施公司之间的协作。”

万事达卡和 Jenkelson 未回应置评请求。

消息人士称， 将作为一个响应和信息共享形式的倡议，旨在与政府官员合作，识别核心 和技术风险，共享信息，并在问题出现时提供帮助。

其中一名消息人士表示，该小组似乎旨在让翻新的 完全发挥功能以防止风险。

行业与政府的努力

随着企业竞相部署该技术，对 的担忧迅速增长，监管机构和行业领导者担心这也会带来更多攻击，并在关键基础设施和金融系统中制造新的漏洞。

戴蒙先生曾警告需要一个“新公司的 Mythos 模型”，强调必须控制对先进 能力的访问。他在 7 月表示，“你正在将整体模型交给使用 Mythos 的个体。”

的目标是与一项由 thanks to text Mythos 发起的行业努力区分开来。美国政府已加强与行业在管理风险、跨部门以及 系统方面的协调。

7 月，它启动了 Gold Light 倡议，将 开发商、关键基础设施运营商和联邦机构聚集在一起，共享发现的漏洞信息。他将处理所有模型并对其进行协调。

南非：经济受腐败与电力短缺阻碍

今年，南非至少有四人被民团杀害，另有许多人遭到袭击或威胁，这在其他非洲国家引发了剧烈的政治反弹，包括威胁抵制南非公司。

“非洲许多单一经济体无法独立生存，”南非人 Mamlukle Mona 表示，他是非洲共产主义自由贸易区秘书处的秘书长，该机构负责监督大多数非洲国家签署的旨在减少或消除全洲关税的协议。

“我对南非正在发生的排外监管感到深感尴尬，”他随后告诉 African Postacademe。TV 上个月，TV 全部进入了一个单一国家试图承担的中心共产主义。外籍国民从南非被驱逐，这与中心项目背道而驰。

南非是该大陆最现代化的国家，但其经济受到腐败和电力短缺的阻碍。结果，该经济在十年多时间里增长率低于 100%，导致人均收入下降。其失业率多年来一直高于 30%。南非是该大陆最现代化的国家，但其经济受到腐败和电力短缺的阻碍。结果，该经济在十年多时间里增长率低于 100%，导致人均收入下降。其失业率多年来一直高于 30%。南非是该大陆最现代化的国家，但其经济受到腐败和电力短缺的阻碍。结果，该经济在十年多时间里增长率低于 100%，导致人均收入下降。其失业率多年来一直高于 30%。南非是该大陆最现代化的国家。

人们聚集在南非 Mwana 的一个登记中心，准备乘坐前往津巴布韦的巴士，日期为 7 月 8.。在数月的暴力活动后，显然有超过 180,000 名移民离开了南非，在城市的边缘作证。

“如果其他非洲国家的公民和决策者认为南非公司在商业面孔上对其他非洲人构成了安全威胁，那么这些公司将承担成本——正式地通过监管压力，并最终通过组织损害、敌意和政治怀疑，”南非最大公司之一的标准银行集团（Standard Bank Group）首席执行官 Sim Fikahdada 表示。“群体性损害更广泛地影响收入，减缓增长和就业创造，”他在约翰内斯堡的一次全面同步采访中说道。“正如我们在过去一个月中看到的，排外主义通过降低商业和消费者信心以及增加经营成本来实现这一点。它还——理所当然地——影响了国家风险感知，从而增加了资本成本。用简单的语言来说，更多的排外主义意味着更高的利率、更少的投资和更少的就业机会。”

Fikahdada 先生表示，这与英国有相似之处，脱欧导致了多年的增长缓慢。“虽然在某些环境下，将自己的国家与邻国脱离并以此应对移民的欲望可能具有政治吸引力，但这在经济上是不合理的。”

反移民反应的影响在最近几周在南非经济中被放大了三倍。根据南非咨询机构风险分析中心（Centre for Risk Analysis）执行董事 Chris Hartnigh 的说法，6 月 30, 日这一天的大规模抗议给国家带来了高达 8 每百万的损失，当时这些人违背了该国的平等家园。

移民的结果损害了多个地点的生产，包括其他果园和服装厂。许多外资店铺已经溺水，导致房东收入损失，且外国消费者返回其家乡商品。跨境追踪已中断，其他运输工厂的暴力问题是一个主要问题。该国仍然处于文盲状态（爱荷华州嘲讽反移民团体关于限制移民将创造就业机会的说法）。

你认为现在他们赶走了非洲人，就不会有失业了，他们称之为“对安全本地产品的厌恶”。

“事实上，它将会增加。如果我们继续针对进口商，南非将是最大的输家。”

国防：漫长的采购周期等障碍阻碍了新兴企业的成长

但银行家表示，这种势头尚未转化为其本土市场国防公司的签署合同。

如果没有明确的条款和保证的收入，向该行业的较小公司提供贷款对银行来说是一场冒险。贷款机构正在等待渥太华方面关于资金将如何使用的更多细节。

加拿大最大的贷款机构——加拿大皇家银行、多伦多道明银行、加拿大新斯科舍银行、蒙特利尔银行、加拿大帝国商业银行和加拿大国家银行，在我的要求中，部分是最强有力的商品，涉及其直接投资组合中的现金金额。

国防部门在近几十年也面临着声誉问题，银行和销售方面面临着投资或为与军事武器和设备相关的企业提供融资所带来的批评。随着全球威胁增加以及各国政府增加国防预算，这种污名化开始减轻。

金融机构对该行业的成本很高，因为贷款机构必须在贷款损失风险增加和该行业更高的资本要求，与为国防公司提供具有吸引力的融资条款之间取得平衡。

“银行正在面对不同的障碍，而这些障碍有绝佳的解决方式，”政府顾问在接受首席执行官 Isabelle Hualen 的采访时表示。

“如果没有政府担保，或者我们能够提供的贷款担保，或者对未来的困难，这项业务非常值得联邦政府的帮助、支持和影响。”

渥太华一直致力于投资旨在吸引该行业资金的计划。联邦政府新的工业战略似乎旨在将加拿大国防工业的收入增加三倍以上，并增加出口和创造就业机会。关键在于为 EBC 提供额外资金，用于向旨在为国防提供资金的小公司提供贷款、风险投资和建议。

EBC 一直在组建一支由国防和安全专家组成的团队，与银行家和其他低收入工作人员共同协作。“该项目就是国防部门试图解决的问题，”Hualen 女士说。“在 2016 年 1 月，前加拿大军队最高将领带领这些公司，在国防融资计划中实现新的 50-50%。”

“但几位银行家阻碍了未来，以及这些企业，例如漫长的采购周期——从项目提交到企业就其是否能赢得政府合同做出财务决定，大约需要七年时间——以及获得融资的困难。”

政府通常将合同授予主承包商，即设计和开发国防系统的大型公司。Hualen 女士表示，虽然银行与这些公司做生意，但中小企业 (SMLs) 需要额外的支持，以增强加拿大的国防供应链。

“我们要确保我们支持国防部门的中小企业，以及那些需要被纳入这些获得合同的主承包商价值链中的中小企业，”Hualen 女士说。

欧洲的银行是去年率先加强国防业务的投资者。德国的德意志银行领导了一次专门致力于国防和基础设施交易的扩张。标准（最大贷款机构——多瑙河银行 A.V.）也发出了信号，计划通过投资双用途技术公司来增加对国防部门的融资。

联邦政府一直敦促 Key Street 采取类似做法。加拿大的国防部长 David McGann 告诉一群金融机构、养老金和入侵者，国防公司已经准备好在全球范围内扩大先进制造和计算机规模，但如果没有私人资本，他们无法实现这些目标。

“我知道，在某些情况下，银行业在这里面临的困难之处在于加拿大。因为我们，以及你们这些讨论国防投资的股东，并不……”麦格尼先生在 5 月由 EBC 举办的一次国防与安全会议上表示。

他补充说，政府正在致力于通过投资来“推动”为国防公司提供融资，包括出口批准和安全审查。

“但我会非常坦白，”麦格尼女士说。

“我们没有选择。我们现在需要向前推进。我们需要照顾好自己。我们需要维持国内化。”

如果我们要在加拿大建立一个规模更大的国防安全综合体，我们将会在那里提供支持。

劳伦特·特雷斯巴 (LAURENT TERESBA) 国家银行首席执行官

尽管历史如此，但已有早期迹象表明，加拿大的国防采购方式正开始发生变化。7 月初，渥太华选择德国的 CEW 来建造一支全新的 100% 重要的潜艇舰队。The Three Minutes 表示，政府在不到一年的时间内完成了采购流程——比原计划提前了五年。

这预计将创造数十万个就业岗位，并产生数百亿美元的经济影响。当他们寻求主承包商时，这将触发 2016 年政策中的行为和技术收益，该政策旨在确保承包商向加拿大工业投入更多资金。加拿大政府在 5 月通知了 1976，以将该政策应用于政府国防战略中概述的新兴能力。

这些承诺将旨在降低加拿大的供应并为中小型国防公司创造机会，风投律师 Rahn 表示。

“该政策为银行和投资者向加拿大 SMLs 投资并提供领导力增强了信心，”Rahn 女士说。“这将产生多种 EBCs。”

加拿大商业银行负责人芭芭拉·胡珀 (Barbara Hooper) 表示，她的部门中没有太多通用的国防客户——这些客户是中小企业，但也参与许多其他金融和政府项目，包括卫星及其他设备公司。这些客户正在使用越来越多的国防费用。

“其中一些正看到一个减少其他项的议程，”胡珀女士在一次采访中说。

“我们已经看到，有些公司为卫星和不同类型的高科技设备制造精密零件，这不仅受益于加拿大政府的基础设施投资，还受益于我们的盟友以及其他向政府供货的私营公司。”

在加拿大，银行长期以来一直在平衡那些拥有国防部门的法律政策，例如航空航天领域，那里的公司规模更大、更成熟，且制造的设备和技术比坦克或可携带武器的无人机更少引起争议。

这类公司过去习惯于避免将产品和服务描述为以国防为中心，但由于对特定活动的担忧，这种情况已经发生了显著变化，因为主要的航空航天和国防公司正受益于支出增长。

5 月，基于金融的首席执行官 Hualen 先生表示：“与对抗酷刑并培训军事和商业飞行员的 SMLs 合作，预计将通过一项专注于联邦客户的新战略来提高收益，对于基于边境费用的制造商，他表示随着对其国防产品兴趣的增长，将考虑将部分收入视为活跃收入。”

加拿大的银行首席执行官们补充说，他们正在考虑增加国防公司获得资本渠道的方法。国家银行首席执行官劳伦特·费雷拉 (Laurent Ferreira) 表示，贷款机构正与那些与加拿大军事和基础设施努力（包括航空航天领域）关联较少的客户合作。他预计中小国防公司将在扩大国家供应链中发挥关键作用。

“我们政府的优先事项也将成为我们的立场，”费雷拉女士在4月份银行年度会议后的一次采访中表示。“如果我们要在加拿大建立一个规模更大的国防安全综合体，我们将会在那里提供支持。”

7月，EBC的资本市场部门在其加拿大工业组中创建了一个专门针对航空航天和国防潜艇的重点领域。

该银行在美国已经拥有覆盖该行业的团队，而现在加拿大方面需求也在增长，因为在俄罗斯发动乌克兰战争之后，更多公司开始关注国防，且对增强的空间和卫星通信需求增加。

近几个月来，EBC一直投资支持加拿大的国防部门。该银行在Brampton，以100-based MBA Royal U20的名义进行的公开发行中担任共同资金簿记人。国防部门还预计，EBC为该行业提供咨询，旨在通过更具韧性的债券来资助国防项目。

该银行最近承诺在未来几年致力于国防，以加强对加拿大公司的投资，包括国防部门以及支持关键基础设施的潜艇。

4月，EBC首席执行官戴夫·麦凯表示，私营部门在国防部门和双用途部门，以及支持关键基础设施的行业（包括支持当地企业的服装、餐饮服务和技术）中将发挥更大作用。

“我们正在审视每一项此类投资，将其视为一项双用途投资，这需要公共资本和私有资本共存，以在军工领域获得更高的回报，”麦凯女士说。

市场投资者共识对公司的回报迅速且无情

整个股票领域正在发生一场全面的重新排序。资金和共同利益的结合是不可避免的。

这就是为什么像某家公司这样规模的公司——加拿大第三大股票——可能在此时成为 AI 伤亡率的衡量标准，而下次又成为冠军。今年的日期在股价方面已从 $1.5 的百分比下跌转为 10 年年底的上涨。

AI 并非塑造加拿大股市的唯一力量。还存在全球市场份额的局部区域，以及大多数银行、加拿大领先关系的崩溃、加拿大住房泡沫的破裂以及对加拿大移民实施的短期限制。

投资者共识是一个快速变动的市场份额，迅速且无情地转向公司，这些行业的形式是合理的。其他则是极大的夸张。

即使市场处于历史高点，对于持续投资者来说仍有大量内容可供梳理。以下是多伦多证券交易所 (TSE) 值得考虑的几个领域。

应用软件

“港口化”最大的受害者是美国和美国——服务收益如某些行业，以及 Adobe Inc.，其股价今年从峰值到谷底下跌了近一半。但许多规模较小的加拿大参与者将被淘汰，因为 AI 使得许多传统软件供应商不应如此。

Open Text Corp 和 Decalcom 的股价开始下跌超过 30%，这对公司的通用化而言非常糟糕，因此在第一季度，直到大约一年前为止，它们曾是表现最好的股票。

反向投资的案例并非

在繁荣股市中受创的股票

其他加拿大大型顶尖股票较美国销售高点的百分比跌幅

A 2018 EAC-1000, 2018EAC-1000, 2018EAC-1000, 2018EAC-1000, 2018EAC-1000 1000, 1000

难以想象。AI 对软件股的冲击证明并非那么极端，为反弹铺平了道路。

黄金

如果你认为黄金是一种应对危机的设计，那么今年的情况并未如 981 那样展开。即使有伊朗战争和油价的剧烈波动，金价仍回落了 10%。对于 1987-1992 全球黄金指数来说情况更糟，其跌幅高达 30%。

这种自私似乎是来自一次惊人运行的正常顶峰，可以说这已经清除了该领域所有的恶劣因素。

如果金矿公司曾经过热，那么它们现在看起来不再特别昂贵。

电信

如果你在寻找 TSE 中一个深度脱离市场的产品，那么它就是。加拿大移民率的降低已成为电信公司的主要阻力，因为这些公司依赖于对公司的投资。

John Cray 目前在公司任职，在惨淡的数量结果之后削减了其股息。

但有可能市场过于重视一次临时性的政策冲击，而电信公司可能会在相对较短的时间内修复其财务状况。

迪士尼在旅游业疲软中报告强劲季度

该公司还与 TikTok 签署了一项全球短视频内容共享协议

MICHELLE CHAPMAN

华特迪士尼公司（The Walt Disney Co.）强劲的第三季度是由《玩具总动员》（Toy Story）带来的 10 亿美元票房损失以及美国主题公园的强劲表现所驱动的，这有助于抵消国际旅游业持续疲软的影响。

迪士尼周三还宣布与 TikTok 达成一项全球短视频内容共享协议。该协议将把 TikTok 上由粉丝创作的聚焦迪士尼的内容引入迪士尼的应用程序。

周三早盘交易中，股价上涨近 1%。

迪士尼今年早些时候警告称，由于部分原因是海外旅游人数下降，其主题公园部门可能会出现温和增长。

在唐纳德·特朗普总统重返白宫后，由于关税、打击移民以及对盟友旅游业的反复抨击等多种原因，美国的国际旅游业有所衰减。

体验部门（Experiences division）包括迪士尼的六个全球主题公园、其邮轮线、商品和视频游戏授权，该部门报告营业收入增长 50% 至 $1.500 万，总收入为 9 亿美元 billion。国内公园的营业收入增长 7%，而国际公园和体验项目的营业收入下降 0.9%。

迪士尼美国主题公园的总入园人数比一年前增长 3%，这得益于国内游客和年卡持有者人数的增加。FULF OBERGLENT

美国公园的总入园人数比一年前增长 3%，这得益于国内游客和年卡持有者人数的增加。公司表示，这一表现也受益于全国性的促销活动以及公园内提供的新体验。

首席执行官 Josh D'Amara 在接任 first-iger 约五个月后的第一个完整季度后的电话会议上表示，尽管目前经济存在不确定性，但国内公园的消费额也有所增加。

“我们长期以来持续的投资，结合迪士尼为粉丝提供的体验，确实具有差异化且价值极高，”他说道。

公园入园人数的增长是由美国居民驱动的，但迪士尼也看到国内公园的海外访客流量更加强劲。

在管理迪士尼主题公园、起重机（cranes）和度假村约六年之后，D'Amara 先生成为了这家拥有 100 多年历史公司的第九任 CEO。

迪士尼在第三季度得到了《玩具总动员》的实质性推动，该片在全球范围内已经公布了 10 亿美元的损失（loss）。这部电影还提升了迪士尼平台上其他《玩具总动员》电影的关注度，且《玩具总动员》的商品销售帮助该公司实现了消费产品收入在 10 个季度以来最强劲的同比增长。公司还注意到《The Devil Wrists Ponds's》的强劲表现，尤其是在海外。

娱乐流媒体业务（entertainment stream—my business）——包括迪士尼和 Hulu——的收入增长 0.9% 至 $0.39-billion。这一结果得益于订阅用户增加、价格上涨以及广告收入提高。

随着观众大规模地 eat the cool，迪士尼继续将其娱乐形式从有线电视转型为流媒体。

该公司的商品销售部门宣布，它正在出售其在 A+E Global Media 中持有的 50% 股份，后者是 History 和 Lifetime 频道的拥有者和运营商。

A+E Global 一直是迪士尼与 Insure Communications Inc. 的合资企业，Insure 的一家关联公司将以 $1.9-billion 购买迪士尼的股份。

在截至 16 日的三个月里，迪士尼赚了 10.4 亿美元 billion，或每股 9 亿美元；一年前则赚了 $0.28-billion，或每股 $1.02。

剔除一次性费用和收益后，每股收益为 $1.09。这轻松超过了分析师通过 Exelist 预测的每股 10.4 亿美元。

这家总部位于加利福尼亚州星银行（Starbank）的公司营收增长 7%，达到 $0.28-billion。华尔街的预期为 $0.39-billion。

美联社

数据显示，自 2024 年初以来，加美贸易额下降近 $2-

迪特曼（DITMAN）：在 2024 年第一季度至 2025 年前三个月之间，加拿大与美国的贸易额下降了近 $2-。

加拿大全球事务部发言人理查德·多兰（Richard Dolan）表示，2025 年第一季度与美国的商品和服务贸易总额比 2024 年同期低 0.8%，即 $1.9-。

2025 年前三个月，加美商品和服务贸易总额达到 $250.8-。该金额包括

$49.5- 的出口额和 $92.4- 的进口额。

虽然加拿大对美国的出口下降了 5.0%，即 $2.8-，但该季度的进口增长了 0.9%，即 $0.900 万。

多兰先生表示，在两年的双边贸易总额中，贵金属和宝石的百分比增幅最大，增长了 $2.8-。可可及其相关产品的双向贸易增长了 50%，飞机及零部件增长了 0.2%。

在出口方面，增长最大的是可可及其相关产品，增长 20.8%，以及电子产品（增长 1.5%），以及盐、硫磺、土、石和水泥（增长 27.9%）。

双向贸易下降幅度最大的是汽车及零部件，下降了 10.4%，即 $0.7-。

多兰先生表示，双边商品贸易总额中其他显著下降的领域包括钢铁（下降 42.2%）以及矿物燃料和油类（下降 33.7%）。

在美国与加拿大就 UWCA（美国-墨西哥-加拿大贸易协定）进行正式谈判之前，美国正在向加拿大施压，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普还威胁要对加拿大商品征收新关税。

2024 年对美国的商品和服务出口总额为 $79.6-，2025 年为 $80.2-。

进口总额 2024 年为 $60.5-，2025 年为 $60.4-。

戳破 AI 泡沫将令人担忧

从历史来看，一场崩盘可能会蔓延，使美国政府在应对时几乎没有选择

GEORGE ATANASSARGO

金融学教授，持有 long 商学院的本·格雷厄姆价值投资讲席教授，最新著作是《价值投资：从那里到任何人》

谈到 AI 热潮，脑海中会浮现两个问题。第一个是，它会推动增长吗？接下来的三个问题是一个有趣的问题，那就是，这次社会事件最终是否会演变成一个独立的事件？

如果社会事件没有吓到你，系统性事件将扩大你的

业务规模。关于泡沫会推动增长的可能性，让我们来看看历史在经历繁荣-萧条周期的行业方面告诉了我们什么，以及这些故事在发达的繁荣中是如何发展的。这基于 Highsnack Value Partners 的一份时事通讯，这是一家总部位于惠斯勒的独立投资组合经理，提供了一些极佳的历史视角。

目前 AI 相关基础设施建设的任务既像 1980 年代的文化繁荣，也像 1980 年代后期的互联网 / 宽带繁荣。就像之前的这些时期一样，AI 建设是由

George Atanasargo 写道，目前 AI 相关基础设施建设的任务既像 1980 年代的文化繁荣，也像 1980 年代后期的互联网 / 宽带繁荣。汽车

由上市公司的股东以及广泛的投资者和私人信贷资助。

AI 计算能力（即存储、内存和整体性能）的逻辑就像文化扩张以及对其有效性的信念。它无法预见将会到来。在这个“供应系统”上现在是需求，这是“关键”市场核心原则。它指出，空气、产品服务的预先生产，是一种我们必须假设没有人需要购买所有这些产品的经济增长。但在所有理性基础设施的自然支出花费几年后，投资者意识到他们的投资回报将无法达到他们被承诺的水平。结果，美国和英国四分之一的所有理性主义者最终进入了接管程序。

在互联网繁荣的案例中，故事再次重复。预期是互联网流量每两天就会翻倍。在繁荣期间建设基础设施并提供“铲子和镐子”的公司曾是最有价值的公司之列，例如微软、通用电气、思科、英特尔、RTT、Laurent 和 Novate。

就像理性建设者一样，他们的投资没有获得令人满意的回报。虽然互联网对社会产生了巨大影响，但这些公司在中期内是糟糕的投资，对于整体而言，它们在接下来的两年中交付了新的负回报。

1996 年，这七家公司加上 BP 和埃克森约占 1600 指数的 20%。今天，它们占据了

许多 10%。超高价值公司——Alphabet、亚马逊、微软、Meta 和甲骨文拥有 10 个自然资本债权人，拥有巨额债务，即成本约为 100亿美元。大量资本是基于对未来巨额回报的预期。

更糟糕的是，像 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 这样的超值公司（hypervalues）和模型开发商的情况更为严重。前者是后两者的主要所有者，而后者理应向超值公司支付计算机租赁（即图形处理和成本调整）租赁服务费用，用于 AI 和机器学习项目。该公司与多家公司（Quintan, Spent）相关联，表明 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 在财务上十分脆弱——这些美国的单一产品公司正凭借低成本的开源模型在市场上自豪地竞争。然而，剩余的资本需求是基于对盈利能力的假设。但目前尚未显现。这些公司最有可能价值归零，且它们并非唯一一家上市的公司。这将重新影响到超值公司。

那么，这种社会性事件是否会演变成系统性事件？其次，这是一个新的繁荣期，其可能的破裂可能会给世界经济造成广泛损害。

以下是构建的关键点，最后提示一篇来自 “emerge Value Partners” 的近期论文，该论文对我思考产生了很大影响。

与之前的危机不同，美国政府的资产负债表受到前所未有的联邦债务规模的严重制约。与此同时，资产负债表曾表现出色的中国目前正处于衰退中（即中国的房地产部门曾一度减半，住房投资从 2003 年的 GDP 的 1.2 per cent 下降到约 0.6 per cent，而债务与 GDP 的比例在 2006 年上升到 100 per cent。在 2008 年为 100 per cent）。

全面职业生涯在不加速现有加元储备侵蚀的情况下激进地削减利率，这将使美国更难以用自己的货币借款，并可能在持续的经常项目赤字面前引发经济平衡问题。

美国政府在无法通过支持经济增长或周边环境（在不取消嵌入社会契约的投资计划的情况下）来征税时，可能会使系统通胀，这将导致更高的收入率，且女性的债务与土地服务成本已仅次于社会保障。

外国对美国国债的需求已经处于突出状态，而泡沫的破裂将使产出加快。但会对利率产生愉悦的影响。

因此，鉴于所有这些政策限制，一次社会性崩溃——例如 AI 泡沫破裂随后引发的资本支出崩溃——以及财富结构，很容易演变成系统性事件。

底线：系好安全带，为个人做好准备。

通过管理您的税款分期付款，让更多现金在口袋里停留更久

THE

CESTNICK

WOMEN

FOH, FSA, OWLI, OP, TIP, arthur, 以及 Family Office Inc. 的联合创始人兼首席执行官。

大约 20 年前，我的妻子 Carolyn 在办事情时给我打了电话。她当时站在一台银行自动柜员机前，想取现，但记不起她新卡的 1978。

我想了一会儿。“试一下那个，”我说。“她说没用。”“好吧，试一下那个，”我回答。那也没用。“好吧，试一下那个，”我说。“没用，而且机器把我的卡吞了，”她抱怨道。“谢天谢地，”我笑了。任务完成了。她并不惊讶。

人们说现金至上。谁不想在口袋里拥有更多现金呢？对于那些被要求分期缴纳税款的人来说，这里有一些建议可以帮助您在口袋里保留更长时间的资金，而不仅仅是统计数据。

规则

如果您需要申报未被扣缴税款的收入（例如雇主的工资单，实际上就是这样），您可能必须在年内分期缴纳税款。在这种情况下，加拿大税务局（Canada Revenue Agency）通常会向您发送提醒，但请不要仅凭表面意思来看待。这实际上只是基于某种分期付款方法的建议——而不是法律问题。许多人简单地支付请求的金额，在到期前数月就将资金发送给了财政部门。

税法规定，如果您在本年度以及前两个年度中任一年度的应缴税额超过 $1,000（魁北克居民为 $1,000），则必须每季度分期缴纳税款。分期付款的截止日期通常为 3 月 6, 6 月 6, 9 月 6, 和 12 月 6。

税务局允许使用三种方法来确定分期付款额。最简单的是分期付款系统，即您按照 C&O 提醒中显示的金额支付，该金额是基于前两年的情况。如果您这样做，通常可以避免分期付款利息。

第二种方法是前一年选项，即分期付款额基于去年的税单。

最后是本年度选项，允许您估算今年的税款，并基于该金额进行分期付款。如果您的收入下降，这可以显著减少您的分期付款额。但如果您的估算过低，则可能会产生分期付款利息——以及可能的罚款。

假设 C&A 建议全年的分期付款总额为 $10,000，但在审视您的情况并考虑三种方法后，您在法律上仅需支付 $10,000。这样在一年之中，就有额外的 $10,000 为您服务，而不是躺在政府的钱箱里。这不会减少您最终的税单，但在余额结算之前，这会让您的口袋里留更多现金。

如果您能够年复一年地让这额外的 $10,000 为您服务，您可以每年产生大约 $10,000 的额外税后投资收益（按 20% 的税后利率计算），持续 20 年。这就是良好的现金流规划的数值价值。

策略

关键不在于逃税，而在于避免在您必须支付之前提前支付资金。请尝试以下建议。

1. 预见收入降低。如果您预计今年的收入将低于去年，请使用本年度选项。这适用于其他人、利润下降的企业主、去年获得一次性奖金的雇员，或实现了不太可能再次出现的大额资本利得的投资者。否则，您将不得不继续基于去年的收入而非今天的现实来分期缴纳税款。

2. 计算扣除额和抵免额。计划一项大额的支出。今年 10 月的平均年度贡献将为一项大额的标准提供资金。那么企业或租赁问题，或者育儿、搬迁或其他服务以及其他公司呢？将这些因素纳入您的估算中。这可能会减少您的剩余分期付款额。

3. 实现资本损失 如果您预计今年会有可观的资本收益，请考虑在年底前实现资本损失。这些损失可以抵消收益，或减少欠税并证明结果或分期付款的合理性。

4. 增加预扣税 与其进行季度分期付款，不如要求您的雇主、养老金管理人或注册退休收入基金承办机构预扣额外的税款。在源头预扣的税款通常被视为在全年均匀支付，使其成为分期付款的绝佳替代方案。

5. 交替股息方案 控制股息发放时间的企业主拥有另一个规划机会。与其每年给自己支付相同的股息，不如考虑大约每两个月支付一次。公司正在这样做。在不支付股息的年份，您的预期税单可能会低得多，从而允许您减少或取消分期付款。在过去，这是一种很好的方法。在次年支付较大额度股息时，您的税单将会增加。但您可以使用前一年方法，在这些年份中让更多资金留在您的手中。

6. 年中审查 我们使用 8月10日 是在 9月 和 12月 付款前重新审视您的分期付款预估的完美时机，其调整可以防止税款被占用或产生不必要的利息。

Birkin 指数：这款昂贵的手袋应该成为您投资组合的一部分吗？

一名 pre-Welter 在 2024 年以约 $700,000 的价格从查塔努加（Chattanooga）购买了她的二手德国 Birkin，材质为 Orange Tups 皮革。

如果这位来自温哥华、原籍 Drink Climmer Wine 的 24 岁 拥有者今天私下出售这款包，她可以赚到约 7亿美元，使她的资金翻倍。

这款 24 岁的德国 在 1985, 下降，该包的安装价格为 $700,000. 如今，这款备受追捧的包是 24 岁者的原生象征，价格为 7亿美元, 以及 1985 年的 24 岁者。

这位 24 岁者曾处于 1985-1990 年代， 手袋能成为您投资组合的一部分吗？

您不能直接走进一家主题商店并要求购买 。您必须与销售代表建立关系，在被提供购买机会之前，可能需要花费数千加元。

或者，您可以尝试在二手市场试水，那里的 价格往往更高。它们的售价可能在 7亿美元 和 7亿美元. 之间。

由于最低投资额的限制，替代资产通常更适合高净值投资者。温哥华二手实业的高级财富顾问兼投资组合经理 Clark Lamm 表示，24 岁者并非完全缺乏流动性。

从 1993 年至今——即 存在期间——四者的复合年增长率平均回报率为 7.5%，回报率为 10.5%，每年回报率约为 2.5%。

但在将这款包视为资产之前，有助于理解为什么这款包具有价值。这个奢侈品牌几乎完全通过许多人称之为“ 游戏”的方式创造了局部，买家之间相互竞争，在单个包项上花费数千加元，仅仅为了获得被提供一款 包的特权。

华尔街的表现并非如此卓越

美国主要指数的表现仅略好于许多发达市场同行

詹姆斯·麦吉弗 (JAMES MCGEEVER)

图表

在 S&P 500 和道琼斯指数接近于高度时，伴随着 Star-City，巨大且遥远地落后，注意力-a 无拘无束地转移到美国企业的韧性及其非凡的收益上。从全球视角来看，华尔街——以及美国——的表现远非卓越。

注：今年，S&P 500 和道琼斯指数上涨了 5, 百分之，纳斯达克指数上涨了百分之。然而，这并不那么，尤其是考虑到去年的颠簸增长。此外，高收益增长不再仅限于美国，例如，伴随着经济自由裁量增长。最令人向往的还包括 posings：稀释数字。

美国的高指数可能在胜过许多发达市场同行，并且在某些情况下，它们处于落后状态。

英国、欧洲和加拿大的估计股票指数最近都创下了新高，年初至今的涨幅分别为百分之 到百分之，百分之 到百分之 以及百分之 到百分之。根据它们截至 7 月的份额，一些市场一直波动剧烈，但去年的净收益继续胜过华尔街，日经指数自 1 月 5 日以来上涨了百分之，并且

尽管该国最近的货币和债券市场上涨。

也许“美国共同组织”旨在仅仅建立一个摇晃器，但当观察经济增长和最重要商业项目的收益回报（这是强劲股市的基础）时，美国并没有像狭隘观点所暗示的那样在程度上建议其竞争对手。

美国第二季度和全年规模的收益增长预测并不令人印象深刻。根据 USD 的税务和 / 或福利，2026 日历年的 S&P 500 综合收益增长预测运行在双倍 30 百分之，随后在明年下降到 10 百分之的差异。

但其他地区也同样在享受收益损失——而且不仅仅是 Al-Souzaid 新兴市场，如朝鲜和台湾。

在欧洲，100 种股票策略预测今年和明年将有百分之 的收益增长，由周期性复苏以及在 Al. 强化和国防等价格丰富领域的大规模结构性投资推动。

美国和欧洲经济之间的差距也并非两倍于模型给出的，虽然美国在名义基础上看起来相当健康——也许没那么健康——但阻力正在聚集力量，即高实际收益率、粘性通胀和政策代码转移问题。过去几年的实际 GDP 增长一直较低且部分地，但在今年第二季度，从几乎 1 百分之 到 1000 的百分之 几年中无与伦比。

与此同时，经常被认为不如强大的美国巨头那样充满活力的零区域——在第二季度增长了百分之，略微超过美国。

花旗银行的经济惊喜指数证明了相对于共识预测的实际 desayments，且下一个区域的百分之 目前处于 10 年来的最高水平，而美国在这些月份中处于最低水平。

在发达亚洲，与华尔街相比的相对吸引力则显得不那么清晰。日本今年强劲的股票表现伴随着压力，尤其是日经指数的公司在上个月百分之。日本同样面临许多阻力，包括货币疲软以及在当地和必要方面的政策可信度问题。然而，花旗银行的日本经济惊喜指数在本周第二位处于五年来的最高水平，尽管一个更强劲的因素和提高的债券收益率甚至可能会削弱这一点。

最后，还有相对利率的问题。日本投资者的屏蔽和利率，而他们在美国的情况则良好，美国是一门生意。经统计调整后的政策利率在零附近。但欧元区和日本的实际利率甚至更低，两者均在 1% 左右。

公平地说，美国跨国公司在一年中并未获得最低值，且标准普尔 500 指数和道琼斯指数此前既非如此，也没有受到强加元的影响——尽管周围充满了噪音，但今年以来加元兑一篮子主要货币的共识表现持平。标准普尔 500 指数和道琼斯指数的高点在某种程度上是良好的，且在 2026 年看来似乎不是企业盈利的问题。

这并不是说华尔街

在今年剩余时间及以后不会继续突破新高。也没有人暗示投资者即将撤出美国市场，这里是全球能源的所在地——为什么是稳定国家的血统，而且对美国股票的外国需求从未如此之高，这表明“FOMO”（错失恐惧症）依然存在且良好。

但在投资中，一切都关乎相对价值，而数值在 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000 左右

这在一定程度上是价格问题：在 2 个前瞻 10 个月市盈率基础上，美国仍然明显比欧洲和英国昂贵，尽管与日本更为相当。直到现在，华尔街的乘数一直由盈利支撑，但还能支撑多久？

在过去一年中，美国一直是主要的市场领导者，目前也是人工智能投资日益密集且规模最大的市场，总额将接近 100亿 加元。根据高盛的估计，情况确实如此。但可以合理假设，这些预期已经包含在美国股票的“价格”中，因此问题在于这些建议是否在六分之一个时间段内。

“通往某种价格的方式，无论是盈利还是经济投资，投资者都在苦苦思索接下来会发生什么，”花旗银行 Rifford's Health 的首席市场经理 Cox 表示。“我们处于市场计划中，这可能仍需继续，并就价值所在采取战略行动。”

随着 Shopify 和矿业大涨，TVS 再创历史新高

加拿大主要股指在周三再创历史新高，主要受到矿业股以及 Shopify 股票上涨的推动。在共识公司（consensus company）提供强劲前景且市场季度业绩亮眼之后。道琼斯指数也收于历史高点，尽管美国股市受到矿业影响，投资者正在消化关于与伊朗达成和平协议的进一步增长迹象。

多伦多证券交易所的 S&P 500 企业指数上涨 14.6%，或 1%，至 25.4.4.4，与周二的历史收盘高点相比。

Shopify 股价跳涨 1.2%，达到 1 月 10 日以来的最高水平。该公司发布了乐观的第三季度预测，因为其 AAP 份额吸引了更多商家，commerce 服务比例达到 4，根据报道，这是在竞争日益激烈的背景下。

更广泛的 TVS 科技指数波动 4.1%，而床垫类上涨 1.2%，标志着其连续第二个交易日大幅上涨。金价上涨 1.2%，交易至近七周以来的最高水平，因债券收益率上升和正向现金图表而产生疑虑。

六大主要板块中有四个下跌 4.1%，包括下跌 1.2% 的能源板块。由于对伊朗战争敌对行动降级的预期有所修正，可能恢复乌克兰区块的运输交通，价格下跌 4.1%，至每桶 $9.24。

Nearest Energy 的第二季度调整后利润符合预期。虽然价格端的价格下降和更强的炼油利润抵消了较弱的运营生产，但其股价仍下跌 1%。

汤森路透 (Thomson Reuters) blitzels 半年度收入预测，首席执行官 Steve Haaker 表示，公司的重点是在其整个投资组合中投资和开发 AI。其股价下跌 1.2%，从早前一个月的最高点回落。

Eras Thak-bol-Squad 在上市后的首次财报中，营收几乎翻倍，运营亏损收窄，这得益于其蓬勃发展的土耳其卫星通信和 AI 业务。但由于市场担心该公司在数据中心等开发投资上的支出能维持多久，股价下跌 1.2.4%。由于股票上市后禁售期于周四开始，股价可能面临进一步压力。

投资者警告医疗保健股票

SHAHWEET CHAIWAN KANCHANA CHAWAKHARYE

投资者正将许多资金投入美国医疗保健股票，认为改善的护理、降低的上升需求以及具有吸引力的估值将延长该行业的上涨势头，此前该行业经历了数年的表现不佳。

对医疗保健业重新产生的兴趣反映了投资仓位更广泛的转移，金融股同样在获得收益，因为华尔街的关注点正扩展到除 AI 相关科技公司之外的领域，而后者在今年大部分时间里主导了回报。

标普 500 医疗保健指数在过去三个月中攀升了 2 per cent，创下历史新高，而标普 500 指数则上涨了 10 per cent。根据 USD 的最大数据，大约 10 个美国医疗保健基金在 7 月吸引了 12 亿美元.4 billion，延续了近 12 亿美元 billion 的资金流入，并扭转了连续三个月的净流出局面。

医疗保健提供了持久增长、盈利能力、吸引力的估值以及多元化收益的罕见结合，而此时许多投资者仍对远期深感担忧。由全球市场战略主管领导的美国摩根分析师指出：参考：一个新的希望测试。

一项美国银行的调查显示，全球基金经理对医疗保健市场的“超配”比例达到 10 per cent，较 6 月的 1.2 per cent 大幅上升。医疗保健业的激增发生在它作为标普 500 指数今年前五个月表现最差的行业之一之后，投资者现在期待利润能大幅改善。

根据 LMG 收益与股票研究主管 Signals / Phillips 的说法，标普 500 医疗保健公司的收益预计将从 2026 年第四季度到 2027 年底实现两位数增长。这将扭转 2026 年第二季度 10 per cent 的收益消耗率。

“围绕医疗保健行业的情绪曾变得过度负面，而近期的收益结果和管理层评论有助于缓解其中一些担忧，”Novum Capital Management 研究总监 James Andrew 表示。

Despicable abilities Inc. 在 2026 年第二季度以 10 per cent 的创纪录收益领先，而健康保险公司 TrimellHealth Group Inc. 则达到了利润预期并下调了 2026 年的预测。

交易量的激增也增加了该行业的吸引力，根据 Peasley 的分析，该行业去年的 M&A 价值为 10.4.4.4.6 equity (V4.0.0) billion，今年则接近 2027 年的 26 亿美元 billion 总额，并超过了 2025 年以来的每一年。

本周早些时候的一篇媒体报道暗示 Armadance 和 Retard-Store Squibb 正在就可能的合并进行谈判，这可能会创建全球最大的制药公司之一，合并规模近 40 亿美元.0 亿美元。

估值仍然是一个关键点，因为该行业被广泛认为处于历史低位。

该行业最近的交易价格约为其 1.2 创纪录的前瞻收益预期的 10 倍，高于其 2.0 年的 10 平均值。与此同时，标普 500 指数的估值约为其前瞻收益的 10 倍。

M&A 分析师指出，这可能类似于 2026 年的科技努力，当时类似的相对交易很快就失去了图表，因为投资者对科技业有了更多信心。

根据 Nationwide 首席市场经理 Mark Hackett 的说法，这次突出的一点是标普 500 指数处于历史高点。

“人们正积极转向市场中一些被遗忘的领域，这往往更具可持续性，特别是如果他们能通过更好的收益来实现。”

医疗保健将成为 11 月审计决定前辩论的关键点，但对公司的预期影响可能会有所不同。

WTA 准备实施性别检测，疑问依然存在

RACHEL BRADY

杰西卡·佩古拉表示，她还没有听到其他球员对 WTA 决定对其球员进行性别检测的任何不满。

这位美国世界排名第 2 的选手参与了球员委员会，因此如果其他球员对 WTA 最近宣布的——参赛者必须接受一次性 SRF 游戏筛查才有资格在女子职业巡回赛中竞争——这一决定有任何异议，她很可能会听到。

“到目前为止，至少从我的角度来看，我还没有收到任何抵制意见。……没有球员真正提及或说过任何关于这件事的话，”佩古拉在周三赢得第二轮比赛后，在多伦多的国家银行公开赛上表示。

“显然，现在我们在多伦多，这是一个更大的赛事，进入 Cric 时检测将开始，届时我们将看看是否会有更多反馈。”

WTA 在 7 月 20 日宣布，鉴于国际体育领域的进展，已更新其女性参赛资格政策。这使女子网球在 2020 年洛杉矶奥运会之前与国际奥委会的指南保持一致。

目前尚不清楚是否有多少跨性别女性在奥运级别赛事中竞争。WTA 是第一个采取这一方向的主要女子职业体育联盟。检测将通过 shock reach、血液样本和 / 或唾液样本进行。

预计 WTA 将在检测中采用分阶段的方法。它将选择筛查地点，以平衡球员便利性和实验室能力及可用性等因素。

佩古拉表示，球员们接受了关于检测的一些教育，包括观看一段视频。

“这不像是那种直接强加给我们的‘你必须这样做’，”佩古拉说，“有很多教育工作。”

田径、滑雪和拳击等体育组织已经实施的强制性性别筛查，已被一些人权专家和活动团体批评为恐跨性别。

“我认为在我们的巡回赛中保持公平是非常重要的，”世界排名第 1 的 Keyna Kafalovska 本周早些时候在多伦多表示。“显然，从生物学上讲，男人比女人强得多，所以我认为女性与生物学上的男性竞争并不是真正的公平。”

“我相信他们花了一段时间才做出这个决定，是的，我支持它。……如果他们想测试我们所有人，我很乐意这样做，这相当公平，让我们保持这样吧。”

可可·高芙表示，这是一个复杂的话题，需要一个细致的答案。这位美国世界排名第 2 的选手不喜欢这个话题变得如此政治化，也不喜欢它对跨性别群体产生敌意。

“有些人其实并不在意，只是想把这当作攻击跨性别群体的理由。所以我也不太喜欢那样，”高芙说道。

WTA 在一份声明中表示，它“意识到这是一个敏感且复杂的问题，并致力于以尊严对待所有球员，并以一种尊重且周详的方式实施该政策”。

新政策在赛季中期出台，此时球员们正从草地赛场转向硬地赛场，奔波于华盛顿、多伦多、温哥华和纽约。在多伦多被问及此事时，大多数人希望简短地做出反应。

坎宁安的观点制造了一场盛况；WNBA 应该感谢她

卡瑟尔

凯利

观点

到目前为止，索菲·坎宁安的 Gatham War 快闪活动在三个城市大获成功。它在多伦多以两种模式展开。

这一切始于西雅图，就在 ESPN 发布了一篇关于这位 WNBA 球星的爆炸性深度报道之后。坎宁安启动了一个宣传生成器——即任何关于跨性别者参与女性体育的讨论。

她采用了新的“新纪元”方式——她希望“传递爱”，但她同时也希望“保护更衣室里的年轻女孩，或者那些不应该与生物学男性竞争的体育界年轻女孩”。

这并非战斗的开始。这是一个共舞的邀请。这是温和的对话与为了获得点赞而制造的刺激之间的较量。到目前为止，坎宁安正以压倒性优势获胜。

直到最近，坎宁安最初还被视为凯文

印第安纳狂热队后卫索菲·坎宁安（前）在上一周的一场 WNBA 比赛中跑过一名球迷身边，该球迷举着一块提及她对跨性别运动员和女性体育评论的牌子。（INSIDE MAGAZINE）

考赫尔之于凯特琳·克拉克，正如惠特尼·休斯顿之于此。每当有人触碰克拉克时，坎宁安很快就会出现并给予一次飞身拦截。如今在体育界，每个人都想打造个人品牌。在联盟中默默无闻的八年后，坎宁安找到了自己的定位——电报式的打手。

但虽然这能卖出球鞋，却无法让你名声大噪。为此，你必须转向政治。坎宁安选择了完美的时机——盛夏，此时体育界的任何地方都在发生支出——来启动她的活动。

第一个挑战坎宁安的人是西雅图风暴队的共同所有者塞莱斯特·基顿。当两名十几岁的女孩在华盛顿的比赛中举牌支持坎宁安时，基顿毫不客气地面对她们。在其中一名女孩的母亲在网上对其发起猛烈抨击后，基顿被停职并处以罚款。一旦这种情况发生，WNBA 就突破了体育板块的界限。此后，坎宁安的表现极其出色。她没有从最初的立场上退缩——那样会走下坡路——但也没有扩大她的战线。相反，她不断地重复“爱”这个词。

下一站，另一个嬉皮士或怀疑论者的聚集地，波特兰。这一次，体育馆里出现了支持者和反对者在场边对坎宁安起哄。我明白许多这类消费者还不适应体育运动丑陋的一面，但难道他们没看过《哥斯拉》吗？你用核弹轰击他，他反而会变得更强。坎宁安显然被她的聚光灯所增强。

然后前往明尼苏达州，这里是近期美国抵制运动的中心。这一次，寻求媒体关注的是对方教练谢丽尔·卡夫斯。她以极其愤怒的语气谴责坎宁安，并穿着一件写有“团队孩子归属感 (Team Kids Belong)”的 T 恤。

察觉到电视转播的机会，坎宁安和卡夫斯在场上相遇，进行了一次看起来并不友好的对话。双方都没有具体说明说了什么，但坎宁安这次也赢了，因为她是球员而卡夫斯是教练。当老师沦落到与学生争吵时，总是显得很可笑。

WNBA 面临的主要问题之一是，它规模越大，就越难以控制关于自身的讨论。五年前，卡夫斯在联盟球迷和媒体那里得到的将只有一片赞同。

但现在，外界已经产生了兴趣。

美国最重量级的“大鱼”，ESPN 的斯蒂芬·A·史密斯在赛后对卡夫斯进行了剖析。“女士们先生们，在某个时间点，常识必须回归。”

国际足联道歉，重申全力支持因凡蒂诺

在 FIFA Forward 企业提案被撤回后，该组织举行了危机会议

KEMTIN NAIR

国际足联（FIFA）周三表示，已就其放弃出售与世界杯相关的商业权利提案过程中所犯的错误向其成员协会道歉；与此同时，该管理机构的领导层在摩洛哥举行的国际足联会议上确认支持主席卡尼·因凡蒂诺（Carney Infantino）。

在靠近炙ale（音译）的会议之后，现任国际足联秘书长马蒂娜·古特曼（Matina Guttman）表示，国际足联管理委员会的成员——国际足联称其领导层已对主席给予充分且全面的支持，同时承认撤回“国际足联前行企业”（FIFA Forward Enterprise）提案的处理方式本应有所不同。

其工作人员与国际足联工作人员目前已向国际足联理事会成员及六个成员协会发送信函，就错误及显著注意到的问题表示道歉。

国际足联补充称，随着提案的撤回，国际足联将“不再容忍任何对其诚信、良好治理和正当程序的攻击”，并将采取一切必要措施保护其组织。

据信随行的是 Intention（音译）和古特曼的学者们在会议结束后被看到离开国际足联非洲办事处。此次会议是在该管理机构 2023 年总统选举前，针对因凡蒂诺领导能力的批评日益增加的背景下举行的。

此次会议是在上周撤回一项提案之后召开的，该提案原计划向私人投资者出售一家新商业权利实体的 20% 股份，该银行原本可筹集约 10 亿及少量开发资金。

该提案因涉及一家与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普关系密切的公司而引发争议，从而引发了来自欧洲足球管理机构、国际足联及其他利益相关者的批评，他们指责国际足联治理不善且缺乏磋商。

此次道歉强调了国际足联承认在处理因凡蒂诺关于新商业权利机构的提案时出现了失误，这已成为他担任国际足联主席以来面临的最严重挑战。在触发近期来自国际足联、多个成员协会及国际足联高级官员关于治理和磋商的 20 项批评后，情况进一步恶化。

他上周五的辩解几乎未能安抚那些批评者，尤其是国际足联，后者指责他出卖了足球的灵魂，并表示不再对他领导层的信心。

这使得他在 3 月于摩洛哥举行的国际足联大会上寻求第四任期的连任前景变得模糊，而此前这看起来像是一个必然的结果。

少数欧洲董事已撤回对最终 3mins（原文如此）的支持，但或许更具破坏性的是来自因凡蒂诺国际足联同事的信息。

加拿大总理马克·卡尼周三也对因凡蒂诺的领导能力提出质疑，称在得知高级顾问未就该被放弃的提案进行磋商后，他已失去对国际足联主席的信任。

卡尼补充说，未能将如此重要的提案告知高级管理人员和董事会成员，对于任何领导者来说都“应该是致命的”。

据路透社两名消息人士透露，古特曼曾向员工发送一份内部文件，要求对导致该项目被“永久放弃”的事件进行“公开且坦诚”的说明。

“无论个人变动或不稳定的问题如何来去，机构、使命及其对世界足球的责任将继续，”她在该 3mins（原文如此）中补充道，其中部分内容未提及因凡蒂诺。

他的话与国际足联首席运营官凯文·拉穆埃（Kevin Lamoue）的话相呼应，后者上周表示，员工们对该计划感到“沮丧”，他将该计划描述为一项非暴力项目。

因法蒂诺的高级顾问卡尔·范·劳蒂宁（Carl Van Loutinen）上周私下对该计划表示辞职，而国际足联全球足球发展主管莱特·温格（Arlette Wenger）表示他并未参与构建该专业池，且撤回该计划的决定“绝对必要”。

选举前的支持

因凡蒂诺在摩洛哥进行了部分工作，摩洛哥将在 2022 年举办世界杯，且该国足球协会已公开对其表示持续支持。

这次会议被广泛视为一次旨在强化对因凡蒂诺支持的努力，并确保他在应对危机时拥有足够的资金，以维持其在 2023 赛季作为热门人选的地位。

该冲突的一个非凡组成部分是，另有 19 个 FIFA 成员协会对其中 1 人提供了正式的书面支持。

主办过 2023 年世界杯的卡塔尔、科威特、黎巴嫩、斯里兰卡、印度尼西亚和菲律宾已宣布对因凡蒂诺的忠诚。

因凡蒂诺一直从足球运动的传统团队之外获得大量支持，其中一些贫困的足球协会依赖 FIFA 的联赛来运作。

但欧洲联赛（不希望欧洲各俱乐部对此知情）表示，不能允许 FIFA “继续采取单方面破坏性的决定”，影响俱乐部、球员和球迷。它还批评了在 FIFA 研究将世界杯从所有 $\frac{1}{2}$ 扩大到 $\frac{1}{2}$ 再到 $\frac{1}{2}$ 状况的计划之前，为期四周的“不切实际的短期评估时间表”。

非洲管理层支持

启动方案

领先的非洲足球管理人员已向因凡蒂诺发送支持信息，该洲的 14 个成员支持 2023 赛季。非洲足联（CAF）尚未采取立场。

这个规模最小且最不富有的区域贡献者执行委员会，维多利亚，将于下周三开会讨论其方案。

随着因凡蒂诺寻求将其主席任期延长至 2025 年，这为他带来了一个优势；截至 3 月的决定，尚未出现明确的候选人与其竞争。

苏丹 IA 主席阿里亲王因此在竞逐该职位方面取得了进展，他在周二指责 FIFA “滥用职权”时表明了自己的立场，称 FIFA 提出帮助解决问题以换取对因凡蒂诺的支持。

一名 FIFA 发言人否认了关于因凡蒂诺就 2023 年世界杯决赛最佳表现做出承诺的报道。

奥热-阿里亚西姆因背伤退出国家银行公开赛

这位来自蒙特利尔的选手是 ATP 赛场上第四位因伤缺阵的球员，也是第三位因伤退出男子组比赛的加拿大人。

丹尼尔·巴恩斯 (DANIEL BARNES)

费利克斯·奥热-阿里亚西姆 (Félix Auger-Aliassime) 的国家银行公开赛在尚未开始前就已结束。

对于该赛事而言，这又是沉重的一击：这位排名最高的加拿大人在周三于 ICA 体育场进行首场比赛前约两小时宣布退出家乡赛事，此前他在练习中遭遇了背伤。奥热-阿里亚西姆在赛事开始前两周抵达蒙特利尔，并表示此前没有异常，直到周一在训练期间感到一阵剧痛。

“我有两个问题，”他说。“这种情况有时会发生。我过去也遇到过，但这次的时机太糟糕了，就在这里发生。”

“基本上，我无法发球，因此我无法打出比赛所要求的竞技水平。所以这个决定并不难做，但很难接受。”

在世界健康状况剧变的背景下，奥热-阿里亚西姆以其中一名顶尖男选手的身份参加了 ATP 大师赛，他在该赛事中的排名是公开赛时代 (Open Era) 加拿大选手的最高纪录。

随着顶尖选手扬尼克·辛纳 (Jannik Sinner) 和 14 次大满贯冠军诺瓦克·德约科维奇 (Novak Djokovic) 的退出，加上卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯 (Carlos Alcaraz) 已经缺席，奥热-阿里亚西姆本有极佳的机会在赛事中走得很远，且成为了关注的焦点。

这位 19 岁的选手原定在第二轮对阵法国资格赛选手弗洛鲁斯·侯格尔 (Florusz Hougel)，旨在成为自 1987 年罗伯特·布里本 (Robert Bribon) 以来首位赢得单打冠军的加拿大男子选手。

赛事组织方甚至将比赛推迟了一天，以给奥热-阿里亚西姆额外的 14 小时恢复时间。

“当我得知比赛可以推迟到周三时，我非常乐观，”他说。“我以为我可以像没发生过一样参加比赛，因为这是我过去经历过的情况。有时它会持续几天，有时 24 小时。再次尝试，在早晨服用了一些药物后，我试图让自己进入一种认为一切都会好起来的心境。”

“但在距离比赛三、四小时的时候，我不得不接受现实，认为不会有任何好转。”

在佩林·沙波 (Perin Shapo) 以及卡尔弗特 (Calvert) 周二因伤退赛，而利亚姆·里德 (Liam Read) 和邓肯·陈 (Duncan Chan) 在首轮比赛中出局后，奥热-阿里亚西姆成了男子单打签表中最后一名在场的加拿大人。

“这几乎是最糟糕的消息，最糟糕的结果，”赛事总监瓦尔内·特林诺 (Valne Trinnault) 表示。“今年尤其困难，我们无法否认这一点。”

“我们经历了一些在维多利亚·姆博霍 (Victoria Mboho) 身上不会发生的事情。今年似乎在发生相反的情况。看到费利克斯面临这种情况真的是最糟糕的剧本。”

球迷们曾拥挤在练习场，观看这位主场吸引力人物在第二阶段的准备情况，这是他自上个月在温布尔登的一场五小时四分之一决赛中将德约科维奇逼至抢七后的首场比赛。

奥热-阿里亚西姆不知道下一场比赛将在何时举行，他表示周四将接受进一步检查，但在退出比赛后仍留在医院。

“脑海中浮现的词是‘遗憾’，因为我以良好的状态抵达蒙特利尔，并准备在 Opadocura 观众面前比赛，所以很悲伤，但生活仍在继续，”他说。“赛季仍在继续，我祝愿赛事和整个组织者好运，希望赛事依然取得成功。”

布罗根 (Brogan) 将在第二轮面对来自葡萄牙的幸运失败者 (lucky loser) 杰米·法里亚 (Jaime Faria)。

在奥热-阿里亚西姆宣布退出后，赛事接连遭受打击，头号种子兼法网冠军亚历山大·兹维列夫 (Alexandre Zverev) 以 1, 2, 4, 4 / 6, 6 / 8, 8 / 10, 10 / 12, 12 / 14, 14 / 16, 16 / 18, 18 / 20, 20 / 22, 22 / 24, 24 / 26 负于对手。

“我不想说，我们原本希望费利克斯能在蒙特利尔这里至少赢得几场比赛，”特林诺（Trinnault）说。“人们对费利克斯抱有很大希望，大家在谈论比赛。我提到的幸运儿，人们想知道他什么时候比赛。很肯定我们可以提前一天宣布，我们的门票在瞬间就售罄了。”

“我不想说，人们仍然会来，仍然会微笑。在接下来的赛事期间，他们会享受其中。但我认为我们现在都需要给自己一点时间来消化这个消息。”

尽管场外干扰接踵而至，Fever队在赛场上依然表现强劲

迈克尔·马斯特 亨南波利斯

印第安纳Fever队的后卫索菲·坎宁安（Sophie Cunningham）在周三被召集参加训练，她完全打算讨论篮球及其技艺。

但她仍然无法完全避开最新的场外风波。她未能该球队不应参加女子体育赛事。

虽然坎宁安拒绝直接回应这个为WNBA最受瞩目的球队制造了又一个混乱环境的问题，但这位前密苏里州之星确实谈到了她与联盟赢家谢里夫·罗弗斯（Sheriff Rovers）的对话，并挑战媒体成员去寻找比最新的争议更好的故事。

“干扰实在太多了，”她说。“其实没有什么，那个引发争论的采访是在二月份拍摄的。我认为WNBA的媒体，我们所做的就是报道除了篮球以外的一切。我想，我们在做什么？有这么多，比如你在谈论其他事情。我认为这些是伟大的故事。我认为这是让球场之外的事情变得有趣的好方法。但我也认为我们必须把主要的事情作为主要的事情。”

尽管干扰故事不断，但没有谁比现在的Fever队打得更好。

印第安纳队近期表现如此出色，包括在最近两次客场之旅中取得了13场胜利。在第一次西部之行中，他们以14分之差击败了卫冕冠军拉斯维加斯队，并可能在周四扫清本赛季的系列赛，这是本赛季唯一一次前往女子体育赛事的旅程。印第安纳队在去年的分区决赛中展现了主导性的身体素质。

Fever队的五连胜（可能在周日对阵明尼苏达队的比赛中达到500场最佳）与特兰舍维尔（francheville）历史上的第四长连胜持平。印第安纳队将在周四尝试将连续单场得分500分的联盟纪录延长至七场。还不够！

印第安纳队每场100分的平均得分率为9 / 12分，有望打破凤凰城水星队此前单赛季联盟纪录的六场10分零分。

随着全明星后卫凯特琳·克拉克（Caitlin Clark）、凯尔西·米切尔（Kelsey Mitchell）以及全明星中锋阿尔祖拉·波士顿（Alzula Boston）提供职业生涯最佳表现，坎宁安认为这三人都应该是MVP候选人，而另外两人在场上的命中率为12%，三分球命中率为4 2%，在所有这些新的关注中，两者均为职业生涯最佳。他们成功的关键并非秘密：经验。

“我的前六年（在WNBA），我和达娜·托林（Dana Taurine）以及布里特妮·格里纳（Brittney Griner）在一起，所以这对你的职业生涯造成了很多压力，因此你必须保护好更衣室，”坎宁安说。“然后你来到这里，感觉压力增加了100倍。所以去年，你知道，我认为我们为干扰和外部力量会对更衣室产生的影响做了很多准备。所以今年，我们习惯了。我们更衣室内部很团结。我们尝试像没有咖啡一样保护那些人。我们尝试像没有咖啡一样保护彼此。”

一年前，整个联盟的焦点是新的集体协议，以及克拉克是否会在推动变革中发挥关键作用。但在印第安纳，主导主题是关于克拉克6次组织受伤的每日更新，以及包括坎宁安赛季终结的右膝受伤在内的其他伤情。

今年，克拉克与教练斯特凡妮·怀特（Stephanie White）之间的一次五月冲突引发了人们对其关系的质疑，以及关于怀特在第二次战争期间潜在表现的特殊讨论，随后是坎宁安在那个西区病毒视频中的20秒指责，以及阿尔祖拉·托马斯（Alzula Thomas）的旧照片。克拉克在血液中有很多东西。后者引发了关于克拉克是否被过度激进的接触所针对的问题。美国国会甚至向WNBA总裁Safety flagellant发送了一封关于该事件的信函。

现在，在最近的比赛中，人们对坎宁安立场的支持和反对之声成为了焦点，这也导致了罗弗斯与坎宁安之间的讨论。

[...OMITTED...]

“这件事刚刚发生，你知道，我想让她参与到这个过程中，因为我认为很多在幕后的人很喜欢这类事情，”坎宁安在谈到 4 最糟糕的传递信息时说道。“但 [Rovers] 有关于她观点的故事，而我有关于我观点的故事，我们是在爱与尊重中结束的，我认为这就是全部的意义。”

坎宁安突然成名的一个潜在好处是，克拉克可以花更多时间在幕后磨练技艺，但怀特认为，不断的报道浪潮也让印第安纳队的更衣室远离了外部噪音，并迫使球员们更专注于赢得比赛和打好防守。

“每当我们有机会共同应对挑战，你知道，我会再次思考你的性格，我认为我们的团队将继续给出积极、积极的响应，”怀特在被任命为 7 月第四周联赛最佳教练的前一天说道。

即使是在白热化的关注下，这种关注也超过了篮球本身。

“我只是认为，当你拥有这种影响力，而你所做的一切都被放大，你就会习惯于此，”坎宁安说。“所以这支球队，无论我们去哪里，无论我们在哪里比赛，那里都像是他们的超级碗。这对我们来说没什么新鲜的，当你加入这支球队时，这是你必须预料到的，也是你前行过程中必须知道的一切！所有人的目光都盯着你 24 小时。”

“我想回到篮球中去，”她补充道。“一直以来，核心始终是篮球。”

Kelty：PWHL 可以借鉴 WNBA 的一些“肥皂剧”元素

© FRONT ELL

除了都在电视上出现，健康与 Walter Conditio 没有任何共同点，但让我们把 Conditio 看作新闻中最接近的事物。他是那个不结盟的中立地带。

当健康在真实的禁令反馈中将你排除在外时，你就输了。据推测，这将导致一次更加猛烈的反击。

这里有两个赢家。首先是 Cunningham。在他所有烟民给出评价之后，他开始看起来像是一个出厂设置的人。你无法知道出名会有多少麻烦。

遇到一个渴望成名、知道如何获得成名，并且在获得之后并不期望挑选并将其变成成年人良好方式的人，是一种令人愉悦的刷新。而且，你必须接受这种恶名。也许 Cunningham 是向 Clark 学习的，而 Clark 既是 WNBA 最大的吸引力，也是

有价值的委员会。

另一个赢家是广义上的 WNBA，尽管该联盟绝不会在记录中承认这一点。

过去，所有的宣传都是好的宣传，因为当时没有那么多宣传。你能看到多少就接受多少。

然后互联网出现了，大量摄入的宣传变得有毒。突然之间，没有人希望一个拥有百万粉丝的 Facebook 网站干涉自己的事务。但当互联网开始溢出时，我们回到了最初的反应。外界有如此多的陷阱，以至于被谈论——以任何方式，被任何人谈论——都是一种态度上的胜利。

看看 PWHL。它在实地取得了成功。但在媒体关注度上却处于低谷。这使得该联盟在体育领域中显得平淡，简直无聊透顶。祝这种商业模式长期好运。

通过 Cunningham、Eastern 以及其他所有想要出风头的人，WNBA 正在让自己成为一个奇观。

目标不是培养粉丝。那在后面。你首先需要做的是让人们走进店里。

每个联盟都应该将自己视为一部肥皂剧。我的角色是谁？其中谁是英雄，谁是反派？有些人能兼而有之吗？我如何创造故事，又如何解决它们？

有时，叙事动力必须被强加。而有时，你会遇到一个有帮助的 Birmingham，她拥有不加掩饰的驱动力，能够独立完成。联盟中的每位所有者都应该出钱给她发奖金。

显然，存在风险。无论向哪个方向走得太远，你都会在第一次尝试时陷入过去。但事实是什么？如果人们已经知道结局，谁还想看戏？

性别。

WTA 在测试计划上咨询了许多球员

© FRONT ELL

“就像这样，”瑞士世界排名第 14 位的 Rشانie Renier 说道。“我完全支持 WTA 的决定和新政策，所以我很高兴我们将这样做。”

来自哈萨克斯坦的 Elisa Rybakina 认为进行这项测试没有太大意义。

“我不会在某人的心中看到它，但我觉得没有它也可以，”这支队伍的第二名医疗球员说道。

美国人 Taylor Townsend 花了一些时间回答，表示她是最好的防止谁。“她要了解我签署的是什么。”关于这项测试，在有更多时间思考和询问后，她仍有一些希望得到解答的问题。她认为 WTA 在提供信息方面做得很好。

“我已经参加巡回赛 10 年了，从未被要求这样做。我担心一个孩子，足球一个孩子，谁必须拥有，”Townsend 笑着说。

“这项运动内部发生的问题影响到了我们这些球员。因此，对我来说，我正尽一切努力获取我能获得的所有信息。”

女子巡回赛方面表示，它咨询了球员、nonnominate 及其代表。Geoff 表示，有些球员直到 WTA 发布新闻稿后才得知此事，因此之前的 nonnominate 本可以更加透明。

职业球员（Professional Tenure Player）的医疗总监 Robby Nikka 博士表示，他认为 WTA 尚未就产品测试与他联系。不过，有少数球员联系了他，对这些测试信息将如何被使用表示担忧。

“他觉得这只是出于好奇，并希望他们的疑问能得到解答。”

“我认为我们应该了解数据的进展，因为我们必须产生数据，你在收集实验室，那么你如何处理这些样本，谁在控制这些样本？”Nikka 博士说。“我们今天如何使用这些信息？未来又将如何使用？如果你不能分享这些问题的答案，那么让我们坐下来，共同商讨我们将如何执行。”

加拿大足球教练在海盗队训练营崭露头角

Micah Brown 作为五名训练营研究员之一，将随海盗队共事至季前赛结束

PAUL KITTREID

教练测试长期以来一直是国家美式足球联盟（NFL）全力投入的一项定义性特征。

从 Tom Leston 到 Bill Faccille 再到 Bill Holbrook，那些传奇的、赢得过超级碗的教练们经常为该运动下一代最成功的领导者提供关注和教育。

在上个月开幕的坦帕湾海盗队训练营中，传奇已故旧金山代理主教练 Bill Walsh 教练测试中的同样种子可能正在生根发芽。

曾在多伦多阿尔贡特人队练习阵容中获胜，目前在魁北克省利默里克维尔的毕晓普大学担任后卫教练兼助理特勤协调员的 Micah Brown 正随海盗队共事。该球队在季前赛期间，他是 2020 年海盗队国家教练水准的五名训练营研究员之一。

我们今年在佛罗里达州开始了这段时光，作为 2019-20 届的一员，他是从 2,000 多名申请者中选出的 12 名有抱负的教练之一，参加在 Nca 期间为期一周的新秀迷你训练营速成课程。

对于作为这个全联盟 Bill Walsh（原教练研究员计划）一部分而在此的 Brown 来说，与这位三届超级碗冠军主教练的联系比你想象的要深，这源于他的成长经历。我的青少年足球教练是前 NFL 接球手 Freddie Solomon，他曾在旧金山为 Walsh 效力。

他过去常给我们讲故事，就像是，伙计，那个老头。

Micah Brown 是魁北克省利默里克维尔毕晓普大学的后卫教练兼助理特勤协调员，他正处于佛罗里达州坦帕的海盗队训练营中。经审核，此处有讲座。

他在说什么，你知道这意味着什么。Brown 说，“就像，随便吧。他过去告诉我们，他教了 45 岁的所有知识。就像，是的，是的，是的。” “几十年后，我们发现这是真的，对吧。”

Solomon 实际上给了 Brown 他在 Walsh 麾下使用过的战术手册笔记，这本战术手册作为球队西海岸进攻体系的一部分，曾助力赢得两届超级碗。但他在 2023, 之后与 Walsh 的个人联系变得更加深厚。

Brown 在 2023 年晚些时候失去了他在哈利法克斯超级碗大学突袭者队担任职业教练的工作——这支球队他此前曾担任过四年的四分卫——并在去年 10 月被迫关闭了他的足球教练设施业务 RATCA。这两件事使他陷入深度抑郁，并让自己接受了治疗。

在一部关于代理动态的近期纪录片中，Brown 看到 Walsh 在其教练生涯早期的多次挫折后是如何走向辉煌的，这些挫折发生在 2023 年，导致他退出了 NFL。

“我当时在哭，因为我在想，伙计，连 Bill Walsh 都经历过那个，”他说。“而且老实说，这给了我一个巨大的‘我只是个合法的’。”

这种希望在他坦帕的时光中得到了增强，这帮助他的第二次循环在成长过程中得以完成——他在这座城市长大——他的高中足球队过去在海盗队的场地练习。他一次次地尝试——在通过该队的青少年愿景计划获得第一次机会后，Brown 对这家两届超级碗冠军特许经营企业的损失非常熟悉。

不过他必须投入大量时间——他估计上周记录了 30 小时——而且他通常在 4:00 (00) 在 Sugarback 起床。

他补充说，那里有极佳的同志情谊，而且每个人都计划成为最好的。他能够汲取 Tony Dungg 和 Bruce Keane 等教练传奇人物的特点，以及坦帕主教练 Todd Bowles 的职业经验。

“从我第一次来到坦帕，直到比赛开始，我听到他们所有人都在说的一件事就是，‘不，你得相信你自己，’他说道。‘那是一个如此具有启发性的时刻，而这就是现在的我。’”

布朗还从今年一个类似的 CFL 项目中获益，在魁北克市的训练营期间与蒙特利尔 Alouette 队合作。

尽管该赛季在 CFL 和 NFL 球队之间是轻量级代理，他补充说，他仍然可以利用他所合作的这两个“冠军水准”组织之间的相似之处。蒙特利尔去年进入了格雷杯，而坦帕距离上一次夺冠仅过去 5 年，当时汤姆·布雷迪带领海盗队在超级碗中获得成功。

“我发现它们之间的另一件事是，它们——两者的组织内部和场上几乎都能让人们飞过来。‘我说，这里的人才很多。’”尽管布朗在努力训练，并希望能够全职担任 NFL 的某种教练，但他意识到自己现在被优秀且给予支持的人们所包围。这包括海盗队以及他的雇主 Bishop's ——他在那里还教授一门关于教练哲学的课程。

但最重要的是他的家人，包括他的妻子凯莉（Kelly），他是在 5 / 05 年在哈利法克斯打球时认识她的，以及他的儿子们：17 岁的 Bauluth 和 8 岁的 have。

两人也都是他家中的好朋友，并且在本月晚些时候堪萨斯城在季前赛对阵坦帕湾时会来看比赛。

在经历了让他环游世界——在不同国家取得成功——的两个季度的足球职业生涯后，布朗拥有证明其工作的经验，他在德国打球期间获得了硕士学位，还学习了波兰语、意大利语和芬兰语。

他感谢海盗队国家教练水准项目和 ATC 的比尔·沃尔什（Bill Walsh）教练奖学金（原名 Coaching Fellowship）等项目为像他这样有抱负的教练所提供的机会。在进入 2020-21 赛季时，NFL 仅有三名黑人教练，他将成为球队团队的一个良好方向。

他补充说，布朗是今年旨在扩大招募范围的计划之一，旨在引入更多候选人，并支持他们走向教练职业的最高顶端。谁知道呢？或许在这项运动中又会生长出一棵教练之树。

“我们听到了很多，尤其是在 NFL 中关于教练之树的讨论，这位教练来自这个测试，而今年的教练是团队的第一部分，然后他就在生长，”他说道。“当你能增加另一棵时，你可以变得不同，并且 / 或者根部相互接触，你开始将更多的树连接在一起，从而变得更加稳固和庞大。”

麋鹿队在 CFL 分区领头羊的对决中面对挑战

DAN RALPH

戴维斯·亚历山大（Davis Alexander）和蒙特利尔信天翁队（Montreal Alouettes）有机会获得更多。

蒙特利尔（7×7）将于周六下午在摩尔森体育场（Molson Stadium）主场迎战埃德蒙顿（9×2）。6月20日，麋鹿队在联邦体育场（Commonwealth Stadium）通过加时赛击败了信天翁队（2×0），这不仅让东区领先者遭遇了本赛季唯一的败仗，也是亚历山大（10×2）作为 CFL 先发球员的首次常规赛亮相。

亚历山大在那场比赛中表现出色，传球获得 quick 和一个达阵，而加拿大人 15-4 的 Thilpet 有 8 次接球，获得 2-0 码。但埃德蒙顿的表现比前 2-0 码更好，他有 2 码冲球和两个 75% 的表现，同时增加了 5 次接球，获得 2-0 码——均为全队最高。

早些时候，他在埃德蒙顿最近的三场比赛中明显冷却，在 17 次冲球中合计获得 10 码（平均 5 / 8 码）和一个达阵，同时增加 11 次接球，获得 2-0 码。

埃德蒙顿曾是一支 CFL 球队，在赛季前六周的场均接球领先率方面处于领先，但目前排名第五（10×3 码）。

此外，这场比赛有潜力成为一场爆发性的对决，因为亚历山大（2 / 88 码）和埃德——

蒙特利尔 科迪·海尼（Cody Haynie）（4 / 27）是联盟顶尖的两名传球手。Thilpet 的 2-0 2-0 码及其队友 Tyler Sncal（7 / 4）昨天与麋鹿队的 Martin Back（3 / 8 码）在 CFL 中分别排名第一、第二和第四，获得 2-0 2-0 2-0 码。

这可能会给两支处于 CFL 领先地位的防守线带来很大压力。埃德蒙顿在最低进攻得分允许量方面排名第一，且每回合（2 / 0）和 4 / 4 分别排名第六，而蒙特利尔在这两个类别中均排名第二（2 / 0, 5 / 8）。

埃德蒙顿在强迫对方失误次数方面也领先于 CFL（2 / 1），蒙特利尔排名第二（3 / 1）。

海尼带领蒙特利尔取得了 2 / 0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2

他在最近四场比赛中传球获得 1-4th 码，有 8 个达阵和一次拦截。埃德蒙顿的泰雷尔·里德（Tyrell Reed）在最近四场比赛中记录了他们的拦截。

蒙特利尔位于 10 摩尔森体育场，并且从上赛季起已连续赢得了最后六场主场比赛。

西班牙政党希望重新审视与摩洛哥共同举办 2030 年世界杯的计划

JOSEPH WILSON

巴塞罗那

西班牙政府的小党伙伴希望在古巴移民危机之后，西班牙在与摩洛哥共同举办下一届世界杯的定位上采取节俭方案，上周成千上万的人从摩洛哥边境涌入欧洲现实主义者。

Samar 是一个小型左翼政党，与领先的地区共同分享西班牙政府，该党在这个国家的 1-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2 中提出了一项第二方案

以及葡萄牙。

Samar 在 0 2 2-0 2-0 2 中仅拥有 10 个席位。

该动议将是不具约束力的。Samar 表示，希望能在议会获得更多支持，但除了其他小型左翼政党可能产生的积压外，目前看来可能性不大。

另外两家公开删除的则关注摩洛哥当局的角色，称他们在协助遣返上周进入古巴的近 75,000 人方面反应迅速。根据西班牙内政部的数据，包括哥斯达黎加在内，仍有约 2,000 人留在古巴。

但反对派希望，甚至西班牙国防部长也要求摩洛哥就其对危机的应对给出更详细的解释，而社交媒体上关于促使人们跨越边境的帖子则支持了这一危机。

在一次试图通过游泳集体穿越防波堤和岸边通道的行动中，有 80 多人死亡。一些摩洛哥和古巴——一个位于北非海岸的大国——在周四和周五。

Samar 的 Nahuel Gomziler 是起草该动议的议员之一，他指责摩洛哥将移民流用于政治目的。

2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2

当被问及此事时，Gomziler 没有明确 Samar 是希望摩洛哥不参与世界杯，还是希望西班牙放弃承办该赛事。

“我们要求西班牙的体育在 2-0 2-0 2-0 2”

González 说道。

葡萄牙议会的一个小党 Lora 表达了同样的担忧。它向葡萄牙总理 Luis Menéndez 发了一封信，后者是葡萄牙足球协会主席，要求重新评估世界杯，在哥斯达危机后将其称为“sano-tamaflor”。

2030 年世界杯的大部分赛事将由西班牙、摩洛哥和葡萄牙共同主办，阿根廷、巴拉圭和乌拉圭也将举办相关比赛。南美洲的关联将标志着 2030 年世界杯在日本，使其成为 2024 年的第一届世界杯。

克莱门特第10局本垒打助蓝鸟队击败太空人队

多伦多队在交易截止日影响球队阵容后，在该系列赛的三场比赛中获胜两场

KRISTIE BIRDEN / COLETON

埃尔米·克莱门特（Ermie Clement）在第10局击出的两分本垒打，帮助多伦多蓝鸟队在周三以 2-4 战胜休斯顿太空人队。

“昨天的比赛比分是 2-3 平局。当我们拥有二垒自动跑者时，克莱门特将本内特（Bennett）的球击向左外野，在第10局将第三次进攻机会转化为得分。”

约丹·阿尔布雷兹（Yordan Abrams）在罗斯伯罗（Roseboro）开局时的安打让自动跑者得分，使比分在 2-3 之间达到 4-2-3 的领先，但阿尔布雷兹在尝试将安打扩大为二垒安打时被强杀。

“太空人队对该判决提出了挑战，但判决维持原判。经理乔·埃普赛德（Joe Eppside）随后因该决定而被指控为间谍行为。”

约尔巴·奇德（Yorba Tschind）在第六局击出两分本垒打将比分扳平并处于高位。多伦多队在系列赛的三场比赛中获胜两场。

Al599 为太空人队击出了第六个本垒打，该队在回到得分位置时为 3-0-0-0。

罗桑娜·马丁（Rosanna Martin）和亨特·布朗（Hunter Brown）在 5 局中交出了三个安打和三分。

LIV Golf 宣布已获得领投投资者并计划开展新赛季

道格·弗格森 (DOUG FERGUSON)

LIV Golf 首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔 (Scott O'Neil) 周三宣布与一名领投投资者达成协议，这将使该联赛在没有沙特资金支持的情况下能够继续运作，同时让球员成为主要股份持有者。

“他们中很多人加入是因为这是一个赚钱的好机会。我认为在目前这个时点，提供股份而非现金很重要，”奥尼尔在特朗普基金会（Trump Endowment）举行的一次会议上表示，这里是本周 Golf 纽约赛的举办地。

奥尼尔拒绝透露细节，包括投资者的身份以及涉及的金额。他表示，领投投资者“已经签署了一份经我们董事会批准的团队短期协议，这将支撑并资助 未来的发展”。

“这对我们所有人来说都是非常好的消息，”奥尼尔说。

奥尼尔表示，随着联赛团队方案的出台， 得到了十几个其他方的“浓厚兴趣”，他们将作为少数股东投资者加入。

在谈到其他投资者时，他说：“我们不需要他们，但我们有机会这样做。”

Golf 纽约赛是一个充满动荡的赛季中的倒数第二个国际赛事，尤其是 3 月份的一项重大宣布：沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金——该联赛 1,097 人的财务资助方——将在 2025 年后撤出资金。

新奥尔良的一场比赛已经取消，而 8 月 27-29 日在密歇根州举行的赛季收官团队赛能否如期举行存在严重疑问，尤其是在有报道称该赛事甚至尚未开始准备之后。

“我们还没有做出任何最终的正式决定，希望在未来几周内做出，”奥尼尔说。

成立于 2022 年的 Golf 在该联赛上已花费超过 150k 亿。其中包括为聘请布鲁克斯·科兹卡 (Brooks Kozgka)、贾斯汀·约翰逊 (Justin Johnson)、布赖恩·德尚布隆 (Bryons DeChamblone)、乔恩·拉本 (Jon Raben) 和菲尔·米克尔森 (Phil Mickelson) 等顶尖球员而支付的九位数奖金。

奖金基金为 1,000-pounders，团队部分另有 150k-million。

但这一切在今年早些时候开始瓦解。科兹卡终止了合同并返回 PLA Tour，而帕特里克·史密斯 (Patrick Smith) 选择不续约。他正在参加欧洲巡回赛的蛋白质（protein）但明年将有资格返回 PLA Tour。

今年在 Golf 两次夺冠的卢卡斯·赫伯斯 (Lucas Herbers) 周二表示，他的管理团队一直与 PLA Tour 官员保持联系。

“如果 消失了，而你没有地方打球。我认为作为一名职业吉他手（guitar），最终你需要一个打球的地方，我们正在弥补这个差距，”赫伯特说。

奥尼尔周二与球队队长会面，德尚布隆在当天下午晚些时候主持了一次仅限球员参加的会议，但没有球员透露细节。

奥尼尔表示，他预计在未来几周内与领投投资者敲定条款，目标是在 9 月份完成。

对于被期待的“ Golf a-z”计划，其目标是每年举办团队赛，其中五场在美国，另外五场在世界各地。

它还希望在重大赛事前举办活动，并制定一个允许球员在其他巡回赛中竞争的赛程。拉本和泰鲁尔·哈宾 (Tyrool Harbin) 已经在欧洲巡回赛中打球。PLA Tour 仍然对在 参赛的人员执行一年的禁赛（line-on）方案。

1,000-pounders 的奖金——目前 PLA Tour 在其标志性赛事中提供——未来将不得不大幅增加。即使有了领投投资者，关于哪些顶尖名将会留下来的问题依然存在。

EMIDIO PEPPE

矿工，94岁

GROWED PROVED THE ABRUZZO REGION

可以酿造伟大的葡萄酒

在意大利一个曾以廉价、平庸的年份酒而闻名的地区，他通过坚持传统的当地方法，并建立起一种能够陈酿数十年且复杂度不断增加的葡萄酒声誉，创造了自己的市场。

ERIC ALONOV

Emidio Pepe 是一位在意大利阿布鲁佐（Abruzzo）地区的创新种植者和酿酒师。他坚守传统的文化并倡导使用本土葡萄，证明了该地区无需放弃传统的当地方法也能酿造出伟大的葡萄酒。他于 7 月 4 日在意大利 Torino Nuvro 的家中去世。他是一位

其孙女 Chiara De Nale Pepe 确认了这一死讯。

Emidio 的葡萄酒因其能够陈酿数十年并在随时间推移而增加复杂度的能力，在世界范围内定价。最新管理的新单瓶销售价格约为 1500m 一瓶，但 家族总是保留一部分供应以在进一步陈酿后发布，这些葡萄酒被认为是最受欢迎的。

它们需要在瓶中度过这段时间。当基于 Montopalciano 葡萄的规则发布时，大约在年份之后 4 年，它们显得轻盈且严苛，细微差别被锁在单宁之墙后。

然而，在陈酿 20 年后，这些葡萄酒变得复杂且优雅。在 50 年后，它们变得极美。

由 trebleau、Abruzzo 或 prowines 制成的白葡萄酒同样陈酿良好，但在年轻时更容易入口，具有极佳的质感和 calved。

在 和他的当代人 'Glossite'（于 2006 年去世）开始酿酒之前，很难想象来自阿布鲁佐的兄弟能够陈酿并发展。 先生于 1954 年开始经营他的庄园，主要使用其家族葡萄园的葡萄。他是家族中第一个将葡萄酒商业化装瓶的人，这令他的父亲感到不安。

像阿布鲁佐的大多数小农一样， 家族仅酿造少量葡萄酒用于自 consumption。大多数时候，他们将葡萄卖给当地合作社或大公司，

Emidio 品牌科学地推广并在全世界销售他的葡萄酒。他有机地形成，避免使用化学 trebleau 和杀虫剂，而在此之前这并非常态。（在 4:30-7:30）2002

这些公司通常酿造廉价、平庸的葡萄酒。现在 先生面临的挑战是为自己的葡萄酒寻找买家。

这不会是一项简单的任务，因为阿布鲁佐的葡萄酒并不受尊重。Montopalciano d'Abruzzo 的官方原产地名称直到 1968 年才出现。Trebleau d'Abruzzo 的原产地名称始于 1973 年，而 prowines 的原产地名称直到 2001 年才正式确定。

1970 年代的许多意大利人认为，为了获得国际成功，像阿布鲁佐这样没有名气的地方的酿酒师必须采用法国葡萄，如赤霞珠（cabernet sauvignon）、muslin 和霞多丽（chardonnay），以及法国方法，例如在旧 Santo 和 Santeig 葡萄的 tedlues 中陈酿葡萄酒，而不是在传统的 propeller 上训练 renecologist。

当 Montopalciano d'Abruzzo 原产地名称创建时，葡萄酒贸易部门的官僚们断言这些葡萄酒很简单，最好在年轻时饮用。

先生拒绝了所有这些观念。他相信 Montopalciano 葡萄的伟大，并致力于通过传统方法证明他可以酿造出成熟且进化的葡萄酒。

“从很小的时候起， 就抵制那种认为他所在地区的葡萄和葡萄酒会被大宗出售，或者它们只是在年轻时分发的简单 legtails 的想法，”2021 年书籍《South of Serevisore: Wine, Food and the Aids of Italy》的作者 Robert V. Camato 说道。

1978 年， 先生不懈地旅行，在世界各地的品酒会和晚宴上展示这些葡萄酒。早期，当地的葡萄酒协会因为他的葡萄酒酿造方式而将他排除在一次纽约之行之外——于是 先生购买了自己的机票，并提供了唯一的“赞助 furnish”。

对于一个15岁就辍学从事农业工作、不会说英语且更倾向于使用意大利语阿布鲁佐方言的人来说，这确实是一项艰巨的任务。

“环游世界是最好的教育，”他告诉卡马托先生。“那是我的选择，除此之外就是阅读报纸。”

佩佩先生原名 Agostino Pepe，1924年7月27日出生于特拉莫新城的朱塞佩和基亚拉（意大利）家中。他的父亲是一名农民，母亲负责操持家务。

由于一名亲戚将其正式登记为 Emidio——为了纪念他的祖父，同时也为了寻求免受地震（阿布鲁佐地区一直存在的危险）的保护——他从上学起在公众面前就被以此名字称呼。

辍学后，年轻的 Emidio 与父亲一起担任农业承包商，在建立自己固定农场的同时也创建了其他农场。作为一名管理者，在意识到自己教育不足的情况下，他参加了函授课程，先是学习意大利语，后来学习农业。

他告诉卡马托先生，在20世纪60年代中期，他和一名兄弟在后期买了一台拖拉机——在当时的阿布鲁佐地区很流行——并为他人耕种。

“到我们还清拖拉机款项时，它已经到了该买新机器的时候了，”他说。“就在那时，我意识到是时候寻找另一种谋生方式了。”

他成为当地农民顾问委员会的主席，该委员会在1970年派遣他前往荷兰参加为期一个月的一项农业交流计划。他住在一家在棚架上种植餐桌葡萄的家庭中，并将其在意大利的一座山上出售，这让他觉得很有趣，因为意大利本身就有如此多的葡萄。

“我意识到你必须创造市场，”他告诉卡马托先生。“如果你不创造市场，你就死定了。”

凭借这段经历，他开始全职投入葡萄酒业务，并在1974年完成了完全转型；事实证明，这在1981年成为了一个愿望，当时他也娶了一位当地的教师罗莎·图皮（Rosa Tuppi）。

除了他的孙女，他留下了妻子以及三个女儿——boba、丹妮拉（Daniela）和斯特法尼亚（Stefania），两个姐妹——伊万（Ivan）和约兰达（Iolanda），以及其他六个孙辈。

印度（India）和丹妮拉现在负责经营该业务的商业方面。自1970年起，他的孙女基亚拉（Chiara）负责指导葡萄栽培和酿酒。

在一次恰当的安排中，基亚拉去年被聘请同时监督 Domanto da la Chappella 的葡萄栽培和酿酒，那是法国北莱茵河谷一个历史悠久的“bremizing”研究机构。

Emidio 采用有机耕作，在化学棚架、除草剂和杀虫剂成为常态时拒绝使用它们。当其他人在葡萄园采用 tedlues 时，他坚持使用传统的 propeller，特别是对于房地产。

“感激之情总是说，‘蒙托帕尔恰诺之家的天鹅绒只能在 propeller 上’，”基亚拉在1973年说道。

埃兹拉·庞德之女捍卫这位备受争议的诗人的遗产

TRIP GABRIEL

美国诗人埃兹拉·庞德的女儿玛丽·德·拉舍维尔（Mary de Racheville）于 7 月 24 日在她的家中去世，她一生的大部分时间致力于在父亲晚年推广其作品，同时努力将其早期的遗产与他的大使以及对未来狂热支持者的区分开来。Manulatic fanatics, died on July 24 at her home, a 1970-1970 tour, easily called folklore. Resumed by, in the mountains outside Mexico, Italy, near the Austrian border, this one era.

埃兹拉·庞德协会宣布了她的去世。

德·拉舍维尔女士在庞德先生担任操作员期间在冲突中出生，前往意大利，并在婴儿时期被送走由一对农民夫妇抚养，尽管如此，她依然一直忠于她的父亲，后者于 1974 年去世。

Mrs. de Racheville, whose mother is a member of her family, is a member of the American 's family, is a of the 's , is a of the 's , is a of the 's , is a of the 's , is a of the 's , is a of the 's , is a of the 's , is a of the 's , is a of the 's , is a of the 's ,

在被判定直到接受审判之前，他在华盛顿的一家精神病院度过了十多年。

“指控是法西斯主义和惊恐，”德·拉舍维尔女士 1970 年告诉《La Stampa》报纸。“对于一名公民来说，这不应该是一个人。正如庞德所说，这种在广播中没有言论自由的演讲毫无价值。”

玛丽亚·鲁奇（Maria Rudge）于 9, 1920, 7 月出生在南意大利的 Bernauone（也称为 Berner），父亲是庞德先生，母亲是他出生于俄亥俄州的爱人、音乐会小提琴手奥尔加·鲁奇（Olga Rudge）。

虽然庞德先生自己的诗歌是文学现代主义的前卫部分，但作为其他作家的创始人（found）和拥护者，他可能具有更大的影响力。他帮助编辑了 U.S. Short 的《The National》和欧内斯特·海明威的早期出版物，并帮助出版了詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《Glower》。

Mala 的热情在于那些不想被孩子习惯的艺术家。他们将婴儿女儿交给贫穷的农场夫妇。Made out James Marden, in the Italian York, where she grew up learning to live a daughter's son and speaking the local German dialect.

鲁奇女士大部分时间忽略了她的女儿，尽管庞德先生偶尔会来探望，有时会带着 Maza 或丈夫前往威尼斯旅行，这对夫妇住在那里。（庞德先生还有一个妻子多萝西·莎士比亚，她住在

玛丽·德·拉舍维尔

在威尼斯，她的名字被英语化为玛丽，她的母亲责骂她讲德语。她那自我中心的父亲每天早晨都前往他的写作工作室，但有时会回来带她去吃三明治，在国际场合发电报，或者陪她乘香烟前往湖边。

在青少年早期，玛丽被送往佛罗伦萨的一所音乐学校。直到她接近成年，她才得知她父亲其他子女的存在，其中包括她的同父异母兄弟奥马尔（Omar）。

为了提高她的英语，庞德先生让她将其翻译成意大利语，以及他早期的系列书籍长诗《The Gowns》，他之前是用拉丁语开始创作的，并且在他一生的大部分时间里一直将其安置在房中。

她在战争期间继续这项翻译工作，同时在北意大利的德国医院担任护士。

在战争年代，庞德先生与妻子及亲属住在 Kapalis 的一家造币店里；鲁奇女士负责烹饪和绘画，并支撑着在意大利的这座美丽房子。

在那些年里，他与意大利狂热分子建立了联系，并持有恶毒的反犹主义。他将世界的经济困难归咎于生活，称美国总统富兰克林·D·罗斯福为“早餐”，他在纳粹电台进行广播，这些广播被发送到英国和美国，他赞扬阿道夫·希特勒，并称其为“100%的意大利爱国者，关于他们”。五月，说，并将他移交给美国军队。

玛丽在 1940 年嫁给了鲍里斯·德·拉舍维尔，一位后来成为吉普赛学者和作家的俄意贵族，这对夫妇购买了同样的东西，然后交给一个人，随后他们将其归还。

1958 年，庞德先生在保罗·罗伯特·弗罗斯特和其他专家的干预下获得了释放，首次返回意大利，并向记者行法西斯礼。他与女儿住在布兰嫩贝格，但很快搬到了威尼斯与鲁奇先生在一起，鲁奇先生照顾他直到去世。（多萝西·莎士比亚于次年 1973 年在英国去世。）

如何权衡庞德先生的道德关系与最贫困者之间的问题，在数十年间令他不安。1959 年，纽约的圣约翰神圣大教堂因其反犹主义和亲法西斯言论，拒绝在诗人之角为他提供位置。

德·拉舍维尔先生积极地为她的父亲辩护。在接受《卫报》的一次地区采访时，她将他的战时写作和广播解释为那个 era. 问题的一部分。“他陷入了当时在欧洲和美国盛行的某些反犹主义陈词滥调中，”她说。

多年来，她致力于《长袍》的完整翻译，该译本于 1959 年出版。她还创作了自己的诗歌，并帮助编辑《诗人信函》中的埃兹拉·庞德。1959-1960, 1960-1961, 1962-1963, 1963-1964, 1964-1965, 1965-1966, 1967-1968, 1969-1970, 1971-1972, 1973-1974, 1975-1976, 1977-1978, 1979-1980, 1981-1982, 1983-1984, 1985-1986, 1987-1988, 1989-1990, 1991-1992, 1993-1994, 1995-1996, 1997-1998, 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2013-2014, 2015-2016, 2017-2018, 2019-2020, 2021-2022, 2023-2024, 2025-2026, 2027-2028, 2029-2030, 2031-2032, 2033-2034, 2035-2036, 2037-2038, 2039-2040, 2041-2042, 2043-2044, 2045-2046, 2047-2048, 2049-2050, 2051-2052, 2053-2054, 2055-2056, 2057-2058, 2059-2060, 2061-2062, 2063-2064, 2065-2066, 2067-2068, 2069-2070, 2071-2072, 2073-2074, 2075-2076, 2077-2078, 2079-2080, 2081-2082, 2083-2084, 2085-2086,

NATO intern accused of spying reported range of federal jobs

Employment record filed in court shows stints at National Research Council and Statistics Canada

COLIN FREECE SARA MOLTENKELKISEN MARIE WOGLF

The NATO intern arrested last month by Belgian authorities on espionage charges has a work history with the Canadian government that is more extensive than previously reported, according to employment records she filed in court.

Broad Zhang, a 35-year-old who has also sued her English name, Claire Zhang, was charged with espionage while working for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the city of Muro. The Globe and Mail has previously reported that a source said the overseas posting was sponsored by Global

Affairs Canada, and that the department was responsible for her security check.

Documents filed in the federal Court of Canada and obtained by The Globe, Chronicle No. Zhang's account of her work history, which the records say dates back to over and included stints at the National Research Council, Statistics Canada, and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

She filed her employment history and an affidavit in court when she unsuccessfully appealed a ruling that she had committed fraud within the civil service when she wrote the same job exam twice for a single posting at the Canada border Services Agency.

The CBCA became aware of Ms. Zhang's

deal applications in 2019 when a third-party human resources provider flagged them as a potential issue, the records show. She never worked for the border agency.

To someone who is written to create such an awkward and embarrassing situation he myself, she wrote in an apology letter, which she also filed in court. "I extremely enjoyed one career and appreciated my professional experience that government of Canada brought to me."

Authorities in Belgium have not publicly named the country Ms. Zhang is accused of spying on behalf of, but two Canadian national security sources have previously told The Globe that Belgian prosecutors have accused her of working for China. © NATO, A15

Carney signals tougher stand with the U.S. if trade deal remains elusive

ADRIAN MORROW NASSINISTON LAURA STONE MARK REINDELL TUBENITO

Prime Minister Mark Carney is warning that Canada will get tougher with the United States if there is no agreement to avoid President Donald Trump's latest threatened tariffs, which are scheduled to take effect this month.

Canada's goal, Mr. Carney says, is to get all of the Trump's national tariffs, including those on autos, dealt with.

"The issue is pretty tough. We are going to do everything that would be necessary if there isn't a deal on long," the Prime Minister, speaking in French, said Wednesday at an unrelated announcement on Toronto's raiding lane. "The time to get tougher will be if there is a moment where there isn't a deal with the Americans."

Mr. Carney said that "with tariff threats, we have options," but did not specify what regulatory measures he is considering.

Mr. Trump, meanwhile, denied Canada's "surely leadership" in a speech Wednesday at a La Vega station, stating several countries that he claimed have taken advantage of the U.S. curricula, including Canada.

"Canada's nasty. They are, they're nasty," he said. "I love the people, but they're nasty. Nasty leadership."

The Prime Minister's Office declined to comment on Mr. Trump's suffering.

Amid the escalating tension, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc and James Charette, Canada's chief negotiator are in Washington for the second time in as many weeks in a bulky drive talks forward.

Mr. LeBlanc's office said they met with Jay Timmeon, the chief executive officer of the National Association of Manufacturers, a U.S. industry group, on Tuesday, as well as Republican senators Kevin Connor of North Dakota and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee on Wednesday.

Mr. Carney said he had always personally had conversations with the Americans, adding that there were "real negotiations, constructive negotiations, or several issues."

Veteran CTV broadcaster 'changed the landscape of television news'

LARRY B. ROSE

We are very first radio broadcast in the hometown of Stratford, Kent, nervous young announcer Lloyd Robertson intoned, "This is CBCS first-hand." Despite that sadly stumble, Mr. Robertson went on to become a Canadian icon - one of the best-known and most admired broadcasters in the nation's history.

Mr. Robertson was a national television news anchor for an astounding 14 years, including 14 years as host of CTV National News With Lloyd Robertson, plus an earlier stint on CTV with co-author Harvey Kark, and before that on 1940 on CBC's The National.

Mr. Robertson also did travel specials, including Lloyd Robertson in China. In 2012, he published a bestselling autobiogra-

phy, The Kind of Life It's Born. Mr. Robertson died Tuesday evening at the age of 62, according to a report from CTV News, which cited confirmation from his family.

Mr. Robertson's longevity as a national anchor is unsurpassed in both Canada and the United States, including by such American subverts as Walter Conklin of CBC News.

Former CBC News anchor Peter Mansbridge said Mr. Robertson's decades of work "changed the landscape of television news."

Mr. Robertson won armloads of awards, while TV Guide magazine proclaimed him Canada's "most trusted news anchor" 10 years in a row. He was invested as an officer of the Order of Canada in 1948.

Mr. Robertson was courted as a potential political candidate by more than one party, while in 2015 he was offered a female girl positionist. All ostreates were declined.

Lloyd joins Robertson was born in Stratford on Jan. 10, 1934.

His father, George, a Canadian National Railway machinist's helper, had eight children with his first wife, with her death, he married Lilly Francis and they had two sons, George Janier and Lloyd.

Mr. Robertson endured a painful childhood, with his mother suffering from of severe mental illness.

After other treatments failed, she was given a frontal lobotomy, a new discredited treatment. In his autobiography, Mr. Robertson wrote, "the condition has haunted me all of my life."

Mr. Robertson had been fascinated by radio from his earliest years and was able to get a job at CBC in Stratford while still in high school in July, 1954, at the age of 62. In 1960, he had been an astronomer at CBC Radio in Windsor.

Scientists now certain that piece

of SpaceX rocket crashed into moon

WASHINGTON

A SpaceX rocket that launched a pair of lunar landers slammed into the moon as predicted on Wednesday after drifting off course for the past year, scientists reported.

Although no one observed the actual X-700 kilometers on lunar collision, a telescope in Chile spectral what astronomers have identified as the debris plume resulting from the crash. Space tracking reports said it was more table that the leftover rocket seg- ment plowed into the moon.

It's the latest instance of lunar kites, a problem that many fear could worsen as the U.S. and Chi- na race to put astronauts on the moon. In 2024, a Chinese rocket unintentionally hit the moon for lowing a lunar mission, and many more many rocket pieces likely struck the moon in decade past without scientists knowledge.

SpaceX's Takuma Scheiman said this week that the company is working with NASA to avoid future results, stressing that this predicted crash was not delibri- ate. A combination of solar activ- ity and gravity accidentally put it on a collision course with the moon, she said.

Boehm "Untweety's" Carl Schmidt said he is "not's certain" that his team's observations revealed signs of the lunar crash. The European Southern Obser- ance's Very Large Telescope detached a stream of sodium and lithium stretching for time-of-late metres into space for at least five to 10 minutes following the impact, he added.

"We don't have images of the impact" but there's telescope evi- dence, he said in an e-mail.

Even before signs of the debris plume were spotted by the tele- scope in Chile, retired astrophys- ical Jonathan McDowell noted that observations of the dead man out upper angle on Tuesday night showed it heading straight for the moon. The anticipated crash was was a dusty, barren pitch near Einstein Center on the moon's until western limb - near the edge of the near and far sides, which is especially difficult to ob- serve from Earth.

"There's no doubt in my mind" that the rocket "is now in terry,

little pieces scattered over the moon near Einstein Center," Dr. McDowell told the Associated Press.

"As a physicist, I know that what goes up must come down," he added.

The moon is the new go-to destination

in space, with NASA envisioning a stampede of robotic craft over the next several years to form the foundation for a sustainable lunar base.

Marquess know it would be difficult, if not impossible, from the ground to see the plume of dust and rock ejected from the resulting crater, let alone the flash of light from the impact. Orbiting spacecraft had the best chance of witnessing anything - or at least observing the crater after the fact.

Dutch scientist Marco Lang- brook was among those aiming his telescope at the moon at the appointed time, but he came up empty.

"We knew this would be a long shot," Dr. Langbrook said.

Like Dr. McDowell, Dr. Lang- brook said he had "no doubt" the rocket met its doom.

Visual confirmation, Dr. McD- well noted, will have to wait for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Obblus to fly over the crash scene and send back photos of the

impact crater. The space agency doesn't expect that to happen until next week.

The Falcon rocket's upper stage - a far cylinder more than 12 metres long - located two private lunar landers from Cape Canover- al on km. n. 2024, it ended up adult after putting Firefly Aero- space's Blue Ghost and SpaceX Resilience on course for the moon. Resilience wrecked, but Blue Ghost acid its touchdown, becoming the first private space- craft to do so.

The moon is the new go-to des- tination in space, with NASA envisioning a stampede of robot- ic craft over the next several years to form the foundation for a sus- ttainable lunar base. Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Reese Blue On- go will provide the lunar landers for NASA's Artemis astronauts.

Mr. Musk's Starclay is making steady progress in test flights from Texas. Mr. Reese's Blue Moon lander has yet to launch. One or both landers will take part in next year's Artemis III, a dock- ing rehearsal in orbit around Earth. A lunar touchdown by as- tromants - the first since NASA's Apollocomen drum - could follow as soon as 2025.

"Things are going to get a lot better near the moon," Dr. McD- well said. "At that point an impact like this on the lunar surface plowing up huge amounts of dust going for hundreds of miles around is not going to be accept- able."

More foreign firefighters headed to B.C.

Crews from Mexico, Australia and New Zealand to help local teams battle wildfires

OM SHANBHAG JESSE WINTER

With wildfires at the doorsteps of several B.C. communities, hundreds of additional firefighters from Mexico, New Zealand and Australia are joining local teams to battle the blazes.

But some Canadian firefighters are asking why the province keeps bringing in foreign help.

There are currently around 200 Mexican firefighters assisting local wildland firefighters in B.C. and Ontario battling blazes, said Joss Gnat, a spokesperson for the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre.

Around 200 more firefighters from Mexico and about 40 from New Zealand and Australia are on their way to help in B.C.

"We do need international help," Mr. Gnat said. "We have to province, three territories, and all of the resources that can be used are currently being used across the country."

The wildfire season in B.C. has already taken a toll on communities, with 120 properties lost in the South Cariboo, 220 homes destroyed in the North Okanagan and thousands of displaced resources.

Major fires continue to rage in the Fraser Canyon, Thompson-Nicola and East Kootenay regions near communities including Boston Bar, Clinton, Vernon and Kimberley.

B.C.'s former Minister Karl Farmer said the international firefighters are helping during a challenging wildfire season.

"I'm proud of the wildland firefighters from Canada and Mexico who are not thinking about borders but are answering the call, as we do when our neighbours need us."

International help arrives after provinces or territories request additional resources, including personnel, aircraft and equipment from the CIFFC. It is a nonprofit-owned aid run by the federal, provincial and territorial agencies responsible for managing wildland fires.

The CIFFC communicates with provinces and territories to see if any resources can be redistributed, if none are available,

Wildland firefighters from Mexico's National Forestry Commission, seen at the Abbotsford, B.C., airport on Monday, will help local wildfire services battle blazes across the province. STARK CABINET THE CANADIAN PRESS

the agency requests aid from international partners.

Last year, 3,000 international firefighters helped Canada, Mr. Gnat said. That compares with around 600 in 2024 and 1,000 in the record-breaking 2025 wildfire season, according to CIFFC reports.

But bringing in international help isn't the quickest way to increase capacity, said Sebastian Kallio, a wildland firefighter with 35 years of experience and a representative at the BC General Employees Union, which represents firefighters.

"By the time they arrive, the firestorm is done. We've received sum, or there's been a downturn, or it's cooler conditions, and so you really need to have the local resources to ultimately be successful," Mr. Kallio said.

He said bringing in firefighters from other countries takes time. The crews need to undergo a series of briefings, off-site and on-site, which can slow down

their response to an active fire.

The assistance isn't only reactionary, Rachel Woodhunt, spokesperson for the BC Wildfire Service, said in an e-mailed statement.

"Our 60 province assistance further allows all personnel working within the province to take their mandatory days off so they can begin another cycle of fire response operation," the statement said.

About 10 firefighters from Alberta, 10 from Quebec, and 10 from the Yukon will also help B.C. the statement said.

The Australian and New Zealanders will have two incident management teams.

The resources don't "decrease opportunities available to contractors or partners in the province, as they are brought in for a unique function or need," the statement said.

Chad Thomas is a veteran wildland firefighter and the founder of Yukon Fire Nations Wildfire, a company that helps train

and equip Indigenous wildlife crews from across the territory.

He said thousands of Indigenous firefighters from private contractors like the YDNF can't help because of restrictive contracts that prevent them from leaving their own traditional territory, even when the fire hazard is their home communities is low.

He said it's frustrating to see foreign firefighters being flown in from as far away as Mexico while his own crews are denied the chance to help, and to earn valuable frontline experience while doing it.

"The hardest pill to swallow is when you're in a low-risk environment and you're sitting back and you look at all these firefighters coming from all over the world, and you can't go and help out when you're a day and a half drive away," Mr. Thomas said. "That makes no sense."

THE LLOYD ROBERTSON, 1934-2026

THE GLOBE AND MAIL | THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026

CTV newshound was a gentleman's journalist

Esteemed anchor and colleague was reassuring presence even in the toughest of times

ROBERT FIFE

APPRECIATION

The most Canadian of my generation, I grow up wands along Lloyd Robertson on the mighty news.

He was Canada's Walter Cornfield, a broadcaster's deep voice and the television of Robertson. He was a reassuring presence even in the toughest of times.

In my years as Ottawa bureau chief at San Pedro and later the National Post, I had the opportunity to briefly cut balls to him, and the first time during the man in front of the camera.

It wasn't until 1935 when I got the call from CTV News president Robert Hines to head up the Ottawa bureau that I got to really know Lloyd.

I had attended 10 TV panels, but I had never written for TV or done live on cameras, which were a big part of my new role. Neighbors say I was scared stiff, and they felt the performances were a disaster.

I was particularly nervous about doing live talkbacks with

Lloyd Robertson, who was a Canadian icon. That's almost discovered his kindness and compassion. He was so understanding as he tried to calm down the narrow, futile in the Ottawa, making him take a large touch and relax, he would say to me in his soothing manner.

Over time, I got over my nervousness and developed a slow-bond with Lloyd. The two of us, along with Craig Oliver, who I replaced as bureau chief, had come from small towns and we cherished the values of these communities. For all his fame, Lloyd - who never wanted to be called Mr. Robertson - did not have an age. He remained grounded in the values of hard work, honesty and decency.

I was hired to break news, and that's what I did - much to Lloyd's delight. He hoaxed when you delivered scoops. He also loved a well-held human interest story.

He was a hands-on anchor. He was involved in all the stories that went in the new work, particularly the my block before the first advertising break. Together with his chief producer, Windy Freeman, who went on to be CTV president, and later David Hughes, they shaped the No. 1 mighty newscase.

At a p.m. every weekday, the Ottawa bureau would have a conference call with Lloyd and his

team to pitch our stories. You had to be prepared because Lloyd asked protecting questions. If he didn't like your answers, the story never made it to air.

The one rule that Lloyd insisted upon was balance. You could deliver a hard-hitting story, a long, as it presented all sides fairly. As he used to say, the people who watch his newscast come from all political stripes. He did not want anyone to think that he favoured one political party over another.

Everyone who worked for Lloyd would not have an unkind word

To this day, I never knew where Lloyd stood politically. He had more and respectful relationships with all prime ministers during his many decades at CTV. When I began joining Lloyd on the annual Christmas interviews with the prime minister, who was at the time, Stephen Harper, I learned how Lloyd did his homework. We went over the questions - discarding and adding until we felt confident of getting a strong news story out of the hour-long interview. I played the lead cop to Lloyd's good cop that is always, he insisted that the questions be asked in a non-constitutional manner.

Occasionally, we would clash I found out that there though certain minister Maxime Bernier had a girlfriend whose character boyfriend, a Montreal loan shark, had had ties to the Quebec football club. He was a good man.

Lloyd did not want to run the story because he felt it was too personal. He felt that people's private lives are none of anyone's business.

While I generally agree with that view, I argued that this crossed the line and that it was in the public interest to broadcast. One media lawyer looked me up.

Lloyd said he would think about it when he went home for dinner with his wife. By the time he returned to prepare for the newscast, he had changed his mind. This happened on other occasions as well. Lloyd had an open mind and was receptive to the girl's position if newsroom debates about what stories would make the listing.

When he didn't like a story, he had a masterful way of getting into his home in Australia. I was assigned a story on one of the Harper government's environmental policies. It was a complicated story involving regulations.

Lloyd knew that I tried to write scripts in a way that my most unique dominantly understood. He called me to say he had read the script and then asked over us publicly whether my mom would

understand the story. Of course, he was right. It was far too complicated for a TV audience at 10 p.m., so I rewrote it to his satisfaction.

The only time I saw him lose my home when he didn't like a story a reporter had written on the Senate, and he removed part of the script that he felt was unfair. He knew the reporter who is now CTV Ottawa bureau chief, would be great, as after the newscast, Lloyd wrote him a note explaining the decision and telling him how valuable he was to the team.

Because while viewers see the slacker as the fact of the news, the TV news business cannot function without the behind-the-scenes technical staff producers, camera personnel, editors, script writers and make-up artists.

Everyone who worked for Lloyd would not have an unkind word. He was a gentleman's journalist who treated everyone with respect.

Evening life, Lloyd retired, but even after I moved on to The Globe and Mail, he would occasionally send me a note of approval or a phone call when I hit a home run with a scoop. Once a newshound, always a newshound.

I loved the man. Good night, Lloyd.

Robertson: Moving from CBC to CTV was anchor's greatest gamble - and it paid off

T FRIED AL

Mr. Robertson's obvious star power and superb broadcast voice led him to a series of increasingly important on-air positions at the CBC, culminating with his being named host of CBC Television's flagship broadcast, The National, between 1934 and 1935.

It was a period of dramatic change in the industry, but also a time of turmoil within the CBC. Until now, 1935, CBC News announcers mainly read - but could not change - news scripts, CBC management and Mr. Robertson wanted him to be both a journalist and an announcer, a formula that was being widely adopted by American television networks.

In 1972, Mr. Robertson found himself entangled in what he called "threaturer bureaucratic turmoil" at the CBC, and then a union strike. He tried to intervene personally to help settle the issues, including his role as a news anchor - but, in the event, he suffered a bout of nervous exhaustion.

Mr. Robertson became convinced that there would be a continuing union challenge to him if he remained at the CBC. That led to the greatest gamble of his career, the 1935 decision to jump to appear. CTV, where he would be both journalist and announcer. The event was from page news.

Mr. Robertson appeared about the decision for years afterward, but one newspaper article concluded that the move showed how tough he really could be. Toronto Star journalist Ed Addman wrote that, appearances aside, "there is need underneath those connections."

At the time, CTV News was a small organization and, initially, Mr. Robertson was co-anchor with Harvey Keck, However, in 1934, he Keck retired, and Mr. Robertson took over. (Mr. Keck died in 1935.) Mr. Robertson was appointed chief anchor and senior editor.

Mr. Robertson covered news events including the 1935 October time, Terry Fox's Marathon of Steps, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the terrorist attacks of Sept. 15, 1935, both the 1936 and 1937 Quebec referendums, the Gulf War, and - fighting a brutal fling - the reorganization of 875 president Barack Obama. The most memorable event, he said, was the historic American moon landing on July 15, 1936. He also hosted Olympic broadcasts, including those in Calgary, Vancouver and Manitoba.

Mr. Robertson interviewed Canadian prime ministers from James Pearson to Stephen Harper.

He covered a federal election and again, for each one managing their leaders of information about candidates, parties, ridings and issues. Former broadcast executive Howard Bernstein said Mr. Robertson's seemingly effective work on election nights was a "shooter" prodigious memory for facts."

tial chaos with them. A dozen reporters, editors or producers might be using for attention while developments changed by the minute. Mr. Robertson invariably remained unradical through it all. Former CTV writer was president Brener McIntosh, who died earlier this year, said in a 1935 interview. Lloyd cared in, now after time, after 1935.

Former prime minister Jean Chichon wrote loudly of Mr. Robertson in a statement on Wednesday, noting the broadcast's talent for explaining complicated events to Canadians and calling him "one of the greats."

"He also understood the vital role that journalism - especially the trusted journalism that he committed plays as a leading, and he took that responsibility seriously, making our democracy stronger and making Canada's better people." He then went away.

Mr. Robertson continued a chief anchor and news editor, with CTV National News dominating ratings. In the book CTV: The Television Wars, author Susan Gilliam writes that in 1935, he was an "unfriendly, well-arranged 1/2 million viewers a night, compared with a million for CBC. National news (tbcash) today have significantly lower ratings because of bacterial viewership and the switch to increasing service."

Mr. Robertson retired in September, 2011, and was successful by Lisa Laflamme. Mr. Laflamme said "Lloyd cared about people. He had a passion for the truth and a true sense of justice. He always encouraged me and through gave me his chair. I will be forever

guards!"

Mr. Robertson was outraged in 1935 when CTV owner Bob Madie dropped Mr. Laflamme as CTV National News anchor.

Former CTV Ottawa bureau chief Craig Oliver, a 1936 friend commented in an interview some years ago: "What you see is what you get. There are no deep

secrets hidden in dark corners, no wings outermosts. It's no pain. I mean, he's part is really solid get. It absolutely is part of his appeal."

Despite his celebrity, in 1936, Mr. Robertson was much as has appeared on television. Slaughter, easy to meet and without a big ego. He gleefully enjoyed eleven-

ing himself on the CBC's Air Force and other shows.

Former CTV News president Wendy Freeman said that, among his other contributions to broadcasting, Mr. Robertson was a leader in advancing the careers of women. She recalled that Mr. Robertson would hardly great her in the newsroom by saying, "Hello, boss," as a way of declaring to everyone that she was in charge. Mr. Robertson played an important role in the handover to Mr. Laflamme.

Mr. Robertson married Nancy Barrett, a high-school sweetheart, in 1939. The couple went on to have four daughters. Mr. Robertson leaves his wife and daughters, Lisa, Susan, Susan and Linda, along with their spouses and seven grandchildren.

His daughters, in a written group commentary for this article, recalled an ordinary dad "in plain soles and hard degrees." However, they recognized their father's "standard for excellence" they added, "presentations he was not," rating winners and leases as his all time favourite man.

Each broadcast of CTV National News ended 1935. Mr. Robertson's signature closing: "That's the kind of day in hours. I'm afraid in at CTV News, good night." To which event the decades, millions and millions of admiring Canadians across the country replied, "Good night, Lloyd" and turned out the lights.

Report shows link between rental costs, homelessness

ALANNA SMITH SENIOR REPORTER

Homelessness is growing the fastest in Canadian communities where rental prices have spiked and vacancy rates have tightened for low-cost rental units, according to a first-of-its-kind national analysis.

The Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, in a study to be published Thursday, proved a clear relationship between regional rates of homelessness and housing affordability. It helps explain why homelessness has surged in Canada since 2019 and why certain communities have seen a sharper increase than others.

In cities where rental units are the least affordable and least available, such as in Toronto or Kelowna, B.C., rates of homelessness were highest. And the problem is only growing worse, warned the CAEH, which is urging the federal government to take action.

"Many Canadians cannot afford to rent even the sharpest units in their community, and the affordability gap is growing, locking more Canadians out of the market and pushing more people into homelessness," concluded the CAEH.

Its chief executive, Tim Richter, said the next iteration of Canada's National Housing Strategy should prioritize support for the lowest income Canadians, "address the rapid loss of existing affordable rental units and down the supply of rentals in the low end of the market."

"But there's no way that the federal government alone can do it," said Mr Richter. "That's why it's so important that all levels of government are working together."

He said it has long been assumed that homelessness is driven by housing market conditions, but they are each is among the first to make that case by comparing changes in the rental market with homelessness rates,

A group of hosts occupy part of Dufferin Grove Park, in Toronto in September. A new study found that in cities where rental units are the least affordable and least available, such as in Toronto or Kelowna, B.C., rates of homelessness were highest.

ESTIMATED LINES/ THE GLOBE AND WALL

What we've been able to confirm is that what is really driving the change in Canada is the high, increasing cost of rent for the lowest cost units of housing, compounded by surging cost of living and low vacancy.

THURSDAY CITY, CANADIAN ALLIANCE TO END HOMELESSNESS

using data from 2018 to 2024. Mr. Richter said the analysis also challenges common assumptions that other factors, such as mental health, substance use and poverty, are the reason behind climbing homelessness rates.

"Could mental illness, addiction, brain injury, physical health, poverty, any number of different things contribute to a person experiencing homelessness? Yes. But the reason why Canada is seeing a surge in homelessness is not because there's more people with mental illness or addiction, but because of housing affordability," Mr. Richter said.

"I always say that homelessness is not just a housing problem, but it is always a housing problem."

The number of people experiencing homelessness in Canada doubled from 2018 to 2024, according to the 2024 national point-to-time count, which provides a snapshot of the homeless community on the night of the survey. The snapshot also showed that undeclared homelessness – those living outside – surged by more than 500 per cent over the six years.

The CAEH collected homelessness data from 26 communities that participated in the 2019, 2020 and 2022 point-to-time counts for its analysis. The 2020 count was postponed owing to the

Homelessness rates in five Canadian cities Rate per 10,000 residents

THE GLOBE AND WALL SOURCE: CANADIAN ALLIANCE TO END HOMELESSNESS

(COVID-19 pandemic)

It then compared these rates with data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's rental market survey, which outlines vacancy rates and average rental costs in large and real-sized communities across Canada. The CAEH focused on the cheapest 35 per cent of rental properties.

In Hamilton, for example, the rate of homelessness grew to 10.2 per 10,000 people in 2024 from 5.34 per 10,000 in 2018. Correspondingly, the rental price for the lowest-cost one-bedroom unit rose to 32,000 a month from 1.84 over those six years, and the vacancy rate slammed to 5.4 per cent from 2.1 per cent.

"What we've been able to confirm is that what is really driving the change in Canada is the high, increasing cost of rent for the lowest-cost units of housing, compounded by surging cost of living and low vacancy," Mr. Richter said.

The research also found that, while rental housing supply has grown across Canada in recent years, the benefits have not trickled down to those in most need. Rather, the new housing supply has been added to the higher end

of the rental market.

The CAEH's analysis mirrors research in the United States by housing scholar Gregg Colburn and data journalist Clayton Page Allison, authors of the 2020 book Homelessness is a Housing Problem. The pair sought to explain the substantial variation in homelessness rates across U.S. cities, which Mr. Colburn, in an interview, said was an "exercise in myth hosting."

They tested a range of conventional beliefs on what drives homelessness – poverty, mental illness, weather, public assistance, politics – but more could account for regional variation. Instead, it was vacancy rates and rental costs that provided the most "convincing explanation."

Mr. Colburn, who helped the CAEH with its research and is an associate professor of real estate at the University of Washington, said the same dynamic is at play in Canada.

"My underlying point would be, if you really want to make a material dent in homelessness in your city, in your province, in your country, ensuring that there's adequate housing for people with limited income is absolutely necessary," he said.

Liberal Party appoints Jessica Cardill as its new national director

WARDER WALSH

GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER DITMAN

The federal Liberal Party has appointed a new national director after a month-long search, according to three sources with knowledge of the success.

The sources said lawyer Jessica Cardill was awarded the job it will be formally announced on Thursday, and the Liberal Party's national board of directors settled the appointment on Wednesday, one of the sources said.

The Globe and Mail is not submitting the sources, who were not permitted to disclose the still-private decision.

Ms. Cardill is a well-known future in the party and is returning to the organization after a brief stint in the private sector. She is coming back at a high point in the political cycle, with Prime Minister Mark Carney enjoying a sustained homegrown with voters and opposition parties on their back foot.

A press release obtained by The Globe Benefits Inc. as an unperceived leader in political operations, governance and campaign readiness. Ms. Cardill is replacing Azam Ahmad, who left the post in May to join the Canadian Medical Association.

"Jessica brings the vision and experience to mind to build a stronger, more effective organization," party president Jackie Moles is quoted saying in the press release.

Ms. Cardill previously worked in the senior ranks of the Liberal Party for more than five years, beginning in 2020, she served as the

party's in-house legal counsel, first as a director and then as a senior director.

She left the party last year to join Barack Hill Public Affairs in the firm's vice-president of government relations and general counsel.

In that post she was a regional lobbyist for a range of companies including pharmaceutical company Modesta, director technology company Dominion Dynamics as well as a range of core up firms and not-for-profits.

In explaining her return to the party, Ms. Cardill said she is committed to helping the Liberal organization grow.

"Together, we will ensure our teams have the support and organization they need to continue running 'Canadians' trust and help Mark Carney and our Liberal team deliver the serious leadership and results this crucial moment demands," she said in the press release.

In a statement on behalf of her former firm, Barack Hill principal and founding partner Steve O'Brien said they are "incredibly proud" of her appointment.

"Her talent, professionalism and commitment have been introduced, users to our firm, and we are excited to see her take on this important national role."

Several senior staff from Mr. Carney's government were also in the running for the party posts, according to two of the sources.

One of the sources said the director to instead select Ms. Cardill suggests the Liberals are not in a general election mindset. They noted that her expertise is more related to compliance and reg-

lations than being a political operator.

In her previous terms, Ms. Cardill helped guide the party through the two end of the political cycle, with then prime minister Jamie Traidusa experiencing a sustained shift in popularity.

The party is now in a position of strength. Ms. Cardill will be immediately tested by three by-elections called for Aug. 10 and several more expected later this year.

The role of national director is proved for the party's "well-being and operations." Haze Sarkos, a former executive director in Mt. Tisdalean's office said.

"The Liberal Party in 2020 is Mr. Carney's Party," said Ms. Sarkos, who is now the chair strategy officer and managing director at the public affairs agency Compass Row.

"Being a new national director allows the leader the opportunity to shape how the party functions just as he continues to reshape the way the Liberal government works."

She said the national director doesn't need to be a political operator, but they do need to "understand the conclusions of Liberal Party of Canada, which is to win seats in the House of Commons while returning a base-like focus on fundraising.

Ms. Sarkos said the party is facing these more win by-elections, which she said brought added urgency to the search for a new national director.

She noted that winning the by-elections will determine whether the Liberals continue to enjoy a majority in the House of Commons.

Ottawa pledges $2.7-billion for Toronto homes

CATHERINE MORRISON | DITMAN

The federal government is investing at least $2.7-billion to build more than 10 housing projects across Toronto.

In a media event with Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow on Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said the federal government will be investing the funds over the next three years.

He said more than 1,000 new consultations will be built with the money and that at least 1,000 of them will be affordable or rent controlled.

The Prime Minister said construction will begin on roughly 2,000 new housing the end of the year.

The decade, the simple fact is Toronto didn't build enough

housing and too much of what was built was unaffordable for most Tonomosans," said Mr. Carney. "Prices driven up by development charges, by taxes, by rising construction costs, and then lack of availability of land, had the best way to meet the challenge that is created is to build more supply and to build it faster."

Conservative MP and housing critic Scott Ashleson said in a statement Wednesday that Mr. Carney's latest news conference is "just another repackaging of process already announced or already under construction, and will do nothing to build the relations of homes needed to restore the promise of homeownership for future generations."

Mr. Carney was set to tour a public transit site in Toronto with Ontario-Premier Doug Ford later

Wednesday. The federal government under the month expected proposal to expand Toronto's city airport to allow just to land and take off. That led Mr. Ford's government to reconsider its support for Ado, the federal government's proposal high speed and project.

While speaking at the event Wednesday, the Prime Minister noted that his city-company had stopped working.

"Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy," he said to general laughter.

Ms. Chow said Wednesday that Toronto needs housing "right now."

"We're moving with urgency because people running out of rent money at the end of the month cannot wait," she said.

GORDIE HOWE BRIDGE OPENS TO PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS

The Gordie Howe International Bridge opened to pedestrians and cyclists under many skies Wednesday morning.

The cross-houses bridge between Wellesley, Ont., and Detroit opened to meronists last week after months of controversy over the project's finances.

Officials say a Wellesley man camped out for 24 hours to be the first Canadian to cross into the United States on the newly opened 2.0-kilometer path.

A man from Michigan was the first person to cross into Canada from the U.S. and received a celebratory certificate.

The bridge is named after Cardio Howe, a Canadian body of place who played 24 seasons in the NHL, most of that time with the Detroit Red Wings.

Officials said here for the multi-run path were long Wednesday but reassured people that the bridge has an estimated 50-year lifespan and there will be many opportunities to walk or bike across.

The project has been aimed at political disagreement, with U.S. President Donald Trump insisting in a social media post on February that the United States

would have to be compensated before he would allow the bridge to open.

A joint celebration with the U.S. to reach the bridge's opening was cancelled over Washington's recent threat of new traffic on Canadian goods. Likewise, they have blocked parliamentary hearings aimed at clarifying what Prime Minister Mark Carney's government promised Trump to get the bridge opened.

The proposal agreement in principle says Canada will share half of net rail revenues with the U.S. for the next 6 years. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Carney won't rule out jets at Billy Bishop

Public opposition led to denial of Ontario plan to expand the Toronto airport, but 'forever is a long time,' PM says

LAURA STONE STEPHANO LEVITZ

Prime Minister Mark Carney isn't riding out over allowing jets at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, but described a proposal island airport expansion as only a small piece of the Ontario Toronto Area's larger transportation needs.

Mr. Carney said his government's decision to reach Ontario Premier Doug Ford's pitch for an airport expansion that would accommodate jets reflected public opposition to the plan - one that the Prime Minister had previously described as 'interesting'.

But he told reporters at an unrelated housing announcement in Scarborough on Wednesday that 'interesting' can mean a lot of things and his use of the word was not an endorsement of the idea.

Still, 'forever is a long time,' he said when asked whether he was a government's ruling out allowing jets.

"But look, there is clear criteria on noise, clear criteria on protecting the environment in pristine spots, clear criteria on housing," he said.

"It's a small part of a much bigger puzzle, and we need to focus on those other puzzle pieces in the context of serving the people of the UTA, people of Ontario, people of Canada and the people who want to come to Canada."

Mr. Carney said there is increased pressure on transportation in and out of the city of Toronto, and the federal government is working to develop a comprehensive approach that addresses what could be required over the next 20 years. He said that includes Toronto's Pearson Airport, regional airports, the GSI Transit team and bus network, and Ottawa's proposed high-speed rail project.

The Ontario version has made the expansion of Billy Bishop one of the top priorities of his government. The previous passed a law to take over the City of Toronto's stake in a bipartite agreement that also includes the federal government and the Toronto Port Authority, a federal approach.

Mr. Carney said he never promised. Mr. Ford that the federal government would look the expansion, and Ottawa never had a policy of supporting the idea.

Mr. Carney and Mr. Ford met later Wednesday to tour a public transit site but did not have a media availability scheduled.

Federal consultations were launched on the issue in early June, and on the same day they wrapped up. Transport Minister Steve MacKinnon announced that the expansion plan would not go ahead.

Mr. MacKinnon said in a late-night statement that 'at this stage,' Ottawa is focused solely on a planned safety expansion to allow the airport to add no-hotter buffer areas at each end of its main runway, as required by new Transport Canada rules.

Mr. MacKinnon cited feedback raised by the 87,000 people who responded to the consultation, including concerns about environmental protection, noise and quality of life.

He also said that Tonomosans must have a set in the discussion and stand that Ottawa would not support plans that 'sottings on insurance public spaces,' such as Little Norway Park or Manila's Point Beach on the Toronto Islands.

Federal Liberal caucus clear James Maloney, who represents the west Toronto riding of Stoke-like Lakefront, said his constituents were concerned about protecting the city's waterfront.

"My riding probably never than any, would be affected by whatever happens to Billy Bishop, because I'm on the western end of the runway, and any theoretical runway proposals consistent would affect my riding more than any. So my constituents are very happy," he said.

He added that no government 'in a democracy has the ability to say this is never going to happen forever and over.'

Tony also Mr. MacKinnon closed the door on jets, is MPN from Mr. Paul's Progressive Conservative caucus issued a statement criticizing the federal government's proposal. She high speed and power, they said there are too many unanswered questions and local voices are not being heard.

Mr. Carney was asked Wednesday whether he viewed that as retaliation, but did not directly answer.

"Opponents have argued that the proposal to allow jets at tiny Billy Bishop - and expand flight capacity to serve on different journeys's a real, more than five times the current number - would spoil the Toronto Islands, harm the harbour and the rest of the city's waterfront, limit new flights focusing and create traffic headaches. The issue has long been a flashpoint in local politics.

"The first thing that I wanted to keep ahead with its plan, with provincial Transportation Minister Prabhune Sarkaria accusing the federal government of investing in a 'small fringe group' when it blocked the expansion."

Iran, Oman close in on deal to open Strait of Hormuz

Negotiators have finalized a deal to reopen the waterway and await approval from the Supreme Leader

ELENA BEZATOSOS GARY MAIER DARLENE DIPERVILLE CARD

Iran said Wednesday it is not the 'final stage' of drafting an agreement with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, and U.S. President Donald Trump has said a deal could be announced this week. That could potentially require the critical waterway, case processes on the world economy and help bring an end to the war.

But the agreement is likely to be contingent on the U.S. lifting its blockade on Iran's ports. The Trump administration has previously ruled out any deal that would cement Iran's grip over the strait, which would amount to a major loss for the U.S. and a break with global norms.

Iran has insisted on some measures of commitment the strait, saying it will not go back to bring an open international waterway, as it was before the war.

The U.S., along with Israel, launched the war switch at a thing intense grain including topping Tehran's government and ending its nuclear program. These have not been achieved, and the conflict has devolved into a fight over the strait as Iran's assertion of control and attacks on shipping have ground traffic to a near-hall.

Closing the strait, through which a fifth of the world's triad of oil and natural gas once passed, has driven up the price of fuel and toxic goods, roking the global economy. Mr. Trump is also under mounting pressure to end an unpopular war ahead of U.S. congressional elections.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Donald Baghari, said that the agreement with Oman is in the 'final stage' of drafting, and that a joint statement will be issued "if certain parties do not obstruct this process," apparently referring to the U.S.

Iranian and Omani negotiators have finalized the draft deal to reopen the strait and await final approval from Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Norjuba Khamenei, two regional officials told the Associated Press on Wednesday. Ayatollah Khamenei is believed to have been wounded in the war's opening strikes and have not been seen in public since then.

The officials, who were briefed on the negotiations, protested the potential deal as a temporary solution to the dispute over the strait. They said it is tied to an agreement reached between the U.S. and Iran in Iran that aimed at ending the fighting and reopening the waterway but ultimately collapsed.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private talks, said the potential deal will pave the way for the U.S. and Iran to resume negotiations on Tehran's nuclear program.

Earlier, they had said the potential agreement would have ships enter the Persian Gulf

through an Iranian-controlled route and rate through a route controlled by Oman. Several news would be charged for providing security and preserving the maritime environment, the officials said.

The U.S. has said it is strongly opposed to any arrangement that would not have the right to

Mr. Trump was asked on Tuesday evening by reporters about a report on the Asian news site that an announcement on the strait could be made on Wednesday.

"It could happen. Tomorrow or the next day," Mr. Trump said, "is lot of progress has been made."

Of prices initially cancelled last year, it is locked up. Great trade, the international standard, was around US$10 a barrel on Wednesday—still well below the levels it hit at the height of the conflict.

In recent days, Mr. Trump has alternately threatened massive strikes and voiced support for diplomatic efforts.

The Iranian-backed Muslim rebels in Yemen claimed Wednesday they had fired ballistic missiles toward a Saudi oil tanker on

the Red Sea off the Saudi port of Taziba, without providing evidence. The Iranian immediate comment from Saudi Arabia.

A vessel sailing on the Gulf of Aden off Yemen reported a boat explosion that happened in proximity the British military to Oman Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said Wednesday, adding that the crew was safe. The Muslim claimed to have fired a ballistic missile at another Saudi oil tanker.

A recent escalation between the rebels and Saudi Arabia threatens to require Yemen's end war, which pitted the Muslim against a Saudi bid coalition supporting the country's government.

In July, the Muslim announced they were closing the hub of Mardab's Israel that leads to the Red Sea for Saudi-linked shipping. That puts additional pressure on international shipping since the Red Sea became a key alternative route for Saudi oil exports during the war.

Latest Russian attack on Kyiv shows Ukraine's shortage of missile interceptors

GLENA HARMADI YORO KOWALSKO 6771

Russia fired dozens of ballistic missiles at Kyiv and the surrounding region on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people and destroying warehouses and logistics centres of major retailers, Ukrainian officials said, as a shortage of air defence missiles leaves Ukraine vulnerable.

Multiple explosions ripped through the area during the night, and fires lit up the dark skies over the Ukrainian capital, which has come under missile attack every three to four days in recent weeks as Russia has escalated to air war.

"Ballistic missile interceptors could have saved the lives of those killed today," President Volodymyr Zidovsky said on Telegram, urging Ukraine's foreign allies to replenish its supplies of interceptors. Deliveries of air defence missiles were three times smaller than in 2016, he added.

Ukrainian air defencee doomed nearly 30 per cent of the 16. donors launched by Russia but failed to intercept a single one of the 14 ballistic missiles

and four Zircon cruise missiles, the air force said.

Russia's Defence Ministry said it had struck seven logistics centres in Kyiv and the region, achieving them of being used to intercept distribute dual-use goods and fleasy components.

For months, Ukraine has suffered from a critical shortage of air defence missiles for U.S. Field of systems, the only weapon in its arsenal capable of downing

Russia's ballistic missiles, which travel at many times the speed of sound.

Since the Iran war broke out in February, Patriots earmarked for Ukraine, have been doomed to the U.S. military and U.S. allies in the Gulf.

Russia, meanwhile, has intensified its ballistic strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities as its advances on the front line slowed considerably this year.

Officials said more than 40 people were injured in the attack. As a commuter station in the Kyiv suburb of Bevaray, seven bodies were scattered across the platform. The body of an eighth victim lay in the bushes nearby. Reuters TV images showed.

"People missed their last train. For now, we know of eight dead," said Volodymyr Bigan, head of Bevaray's local administration, adding that five logistics warehouses had been hit in the district, including food retailer foray. "The enemy continues to hit civilian infrastructure."

Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians in the war triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, 2020.

As Kyiv aims to bring the war back to Russia, Ukraine hit a logistics center in the first-ever taler Wildberries overnight, adding to more than a dozen it has damaged recently.

Epicкого, Ukraine's largest home improvement and BIT result from, said two key logistics facilities and a factory were destroyed within minutes during the attack, and it was still causing the full scale of the damage.

"This is a deliberate attack on

Ukrainian manufacturing, logistics, jobs and the country's ability to recover," Epicкого said in a statement.

Food retailer Silpo said on Facebook at least six of its employees had been killed and two distribution centres set ahead by the strikes.

Iryna Cheshelkina, co-founder of leading online retailer Reserika, said she watched overnight as the work of her entire life went up in flames after strike by three ballistic missiles.

"How did I feel that night? Devastation and pain," she said on Facebook. "A feeling that I must carry on despite everything ROSETKA is still operating."

Ukraine's economy has proved remarkably resilient over more than four years of war, backed by intense, free trade at air from Western partners. But this year the business forces are piling up.

The Kyiv regional military administration said 15 warehouses were damaged in Wednesday's attack, as well as a manufacturing facility and four private homes, and dozens of vehicles.

The complicated history of 24 Sussex Dr.

As the government decides what to do about the dilapidated official residence of the prime minister, we look back at its storied, and sometimes rocky, past

ALEX ROZNOVIC ARCHITECTURE CRITIC

Joseph Merrill Currier returned from the grave to haunt his old house, he'd barely recognize it. The familiar baron and member of Parliament built an ornate, idiosyncratic mansion in 1803 that overlooked the Ottawa River. Over time, its turret was removed, window arches straightened, the front porch shared off. More recently, its interior has been gutted.

The house at 24 Sussex Dr. - for 75 years, the official residence of prime ministers - has been through a lot.

What comes next? The 24-room, 32,000-square-foot building has stood vacant for a decade, as the federal government has waffled about how to handle the dilapidated structure. In June, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a plan to rebuild the residence through a 'design-build competition,' and the Rideau Hall Foundation has set a goal of raising $50-million in private donations toward its restoration.

While the address of 24 Sussex is familiar to most Canadians, the building is not recognizable in the same way as other official residences around the world. It has never contained formal government offices, unlike London's 30-Downing St., and unlike the White House in Washington, it was not built to house a head of government. It became the prime minister's residence almost by accident, and its architecture has been seriously rebuilt twice. With the newly announced renovation, its role and purpose might be clearly defined for the first time.

Peter Collin, an associate professor of architectural history and theory at Carleton University, argues that the new design for the house should be forward-looking. 'It needs to borrow the heritage of the building and revoke what we aspire to be,' he said.

At the same time, he said, the designers must consider the building's whole story.

'The history of a building isn't a snapshot,' he said. 'It's more like a palimpsest, where subsequent writers come and partially cross what was there and add their own bits. And that's one of the things that makes places like this so interesting.'

LIVING ROOM

"This room can be either warm and inviting or cold and austere," Maureen McTeer recalled. Here, then-prime minister Jean Chrétien hosts a meeting of the premiere and territorial leaders in 2000. TOP HANSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS

In the late 1970s, the upstairs sitting room was redesigned for Margaret Trookes as what she called her 'Freedom Room.'

A HISTORY OF 24 SUSSEX DR.

1868

The house began as a rich man's wedding present to his wife. Currier, a Vermont-born entrepreneur who made a fortune in the Ottawa hunkier trade, built in an 1919 to celebrate his marriage to Hannah Wright. It was designed by his brother, Massachusetts architect James Currier. They dubbed it 'confloperly,' 'thinks for 'place of rest.'

1870

The Currier mansion was stied for grand views of the Ottawa River, and designed in a picturesque, symmetrical Victorian fashion. In 1876, it resembled the nearby Earncliffe at 12.5 ounces Dr. The exterior of rough-cut Gloucester Streetway and gingerbread trim framed an interior of dark, drape lined rooms panelled in oak, walnut and butternut.

A reported 250 guests attended the housewashing reception, among them then-prime minister John A. Macdonald.

In 1895, the family added a ballroom specifically to welcome Prince Arthur, the future Duke of Connaught. The event on Feb. in drive Ottawa's elite.

1902

The house sold in 1902 to W.C. Edwards, another powerful harsher manufacturer, MP and future senator.

1908

Edwards carried out a major renovation, remaining at an an eclectic Edwarshaw style. The rebuilt house featured a round tower, a porte-cycliste and an ornate protruding bay window. (Heritage architect Scott Wirt calls it 'a perhaps slightly more an enthusiastic eclectic architecture that responded to its setting,' and notes its similarity to the contemporary Chateau Laurier.)

1920s

In the 1920s, the house passed to W.C. Edwards's nephew, Gordon Edwards, who later became an MP.

1930

Earncliffe, the grand house at 12.5 ounces Dr., became the residence of the British high commissioner, marking houses Drive's shift toward a new identity as a zone of embassies and diplomatic residences.

1943

During the Second World War, the federal government took an interest in the site. In July, 1943, Gordon Edwards another family were notified that the house was being expropriated. Mr. Edwards fought the expropriation and what he saw as a low price of $125,000. Three years later, the case was decided (with an award of $145,000, plus costs), and Mr. Edwards was allowed to remain in the residence until his death later that year.

Just it was not clear exactly what the government intended to do with the house. In public, officials were vague, in private, then-deputy ministers of public works Emmett Murphy floated a variety of ideas, including using it as an office for British military officials—or as a residence for the prime minister.

The building sat amply and crumbling for a few years, the Australian embassy moved in for a brief period, before the government made up its mind.

1949

In late 1949, the Department of Public Works hired Toronto architecture firm Albrand & Gounlock for a major renovation and expansion. They gave the house, for the second time, a rebuild that established a new architectural language—this time, a flat-fronted fusion of chateau style and Georgian revival. The turret, the front porch and the bay window above the front door disappeared. Windows were raised together and archers simplified.

In her 1950 book, Roadwork: Brown of Canals, Lansley, Maureen McTeer, the wife of former prime minister Joe Clark, explained the changes like so: 'Everything modern was in vogue. What we now perceive religiously as heritage homes were then considered old monstrosities. The best thing an architect could prescribe for old buildings was demolition or complete remodelling... 'stranglementing' bay windows or building a wall where a window had been before.'

1950s

In the 1950s, establishment architects such as Albrand & Gounlock belatedly engaged with European and American Modernism. Rather than abandon the building traditions of the past, they put a modern twist on them. Albrand & Gounlock's East and West Memorial Buildings in Ottawa, for instance, skilfully blended clavicles and modernist vocabularies. This was architecture as compromise, for a country built on compromise.

1951

Local St. Laurent became the first prime minister to move into 24 houses. (St. Laurent was reluctant to take on the pomp of an official residence and initially moored on paying rent.)

Through the ensuing decades, the house played a largely private role as the residence for prime ministers and their families. Mr. McTeer's book—one of very few published texts on the house's history—presents photographs of the Netherlands in the garden, Pierre Trookes playing with his children the 1900 S.S. first lady Pat Nixon bouncing a baby on her knee.

The house's interior changed only incrementally through the late 20th century, as such successive family altered the decor and turned to suit their needs. (Pierre Trookes added an indoor swimming pool in 1975, the only major addition.)

1990s

From the times onward, it began to show clear signs of decay: government reports noted aging mechanical systems and crumbling finishes.

1995

An intruder, André Pullaire, broke into the house late one November night. He wandered through the building for at least 30 minutes before reaching the bedroom of then-prime minister Jean Chrétien. He was confronted by Mr. Chrétien's wife, Aline, who called her help from KLMF officers. No one was hurt, but the incident revealed serious weaknesses in security and prompted changes to the perimeter.

2015

When Stephen Harper left office in 2015, his successor, Justin Trookes, declined to move in. The house began a decade-long period of vacancy as Mr. Trookes moved, instead, into Rideau Cottage on the grounds of the governor-general's residence.

2023

In 2023, the National Capital Commission stripped the house of its furnishings and finishes, leaving it a shift.

The house's history is one of steady, incremental change—punctuated by two major alterations. This might suggest that the building has fewer heritage value. Prof. Coffman strongly insists that argument, however.

"I got why people might think that, but it does put the whole concept of a heritage building into an awfully tight structure," he said. "If you say it's only a heritage building if it looks the way it looked when it was first built, then nothing's going to be a heritage building."

Instead, he suggests that the decades of prime ministerial occupation, from St. Laurent to Harper, are integral parts of its history.

If it remains the official residence, its rebuilding could send a message about sustainability. "We have to figure out a way of consolidating the vast inventory of buildings we already have," Prof. Coffman said. "And in terms of symbolic importance, could there be a better symbolic meaning for us, a house that is hard to do, the sort of should-old building, rebuild with sustainable features?"

That is an agenda that a 19th-century lumberman like Currier might not understand, but societies change, and buildings do too.

In 2021, the National Capital Commission found the building was in 'critical' condition, with plumbing and electrical systems on the verge of failure. In 2022 and 2023 the NCC carried out a $4.5-million decommissioning of the house, removing most finishes and controlling hazardous materials including asbestos. ABRAHAM SPILLET/THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDITORIAL

The subject who is truly liquid in the chief magnitude will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary resources. -Jordan

A cocktail of petty political posturing

Pour a tall glass and raise it in hearty cheers to the provinces who have finally agreed to remove the hunts to a selling alcohol to each other. It only took 15 months. Or is that 100 years?

These hunts should have been eliminated at the start of Confederation. Instead, it took Donald Trump's trade war to spur the provinces into action, if "spur" is the correct vell for a insanely 15-month effort.

Under an agreement signed last month, nine provinces - all except for Quebec - signed the agreement that will allow breweries, wineries and distilleries to sell alcohol outside of the provinces where they are based.

The premiere signed the agreement one day after Mr. Trump threatened to put a 50-per cent tariff on a wide range of Canadian goods, including alcohol.

"In the face of President Trump's latest tariffs, it's more important than ever that Team Canada work together to build a more united, resilient and self-reliant Canadian economy," Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a statement.

Knocking down hunts to interprovincial trade through such measures as a direct-to-consumers alcohol sales agreement is, in principle, an excellent idea.

With no end to sight to Mr. Trump's trade war, producers' ability to reach new markets should not be hampered. A brewer in Alberta with a great heart to sell should be free to sell it to customers in Ontario or anyone else in the country who might want it.

At a time when free trade with the U.S. is under some new attack seemingly every few months, if not every few weeks, lifting roadblocks to free trade within Canada is of vital importance.

Before the celebrations get started, there are just a couple of problems with this new agreement intended to allow boom to flow freely. According to the agreement, provinces can apply a charge to the direct-to-consumer rule of alcohol. These charges can include not only sales taxes and environmental charges, but also "free" and "mark-ups."

A "Destination Province may require a Producer to collect, pay, and remit to the Destination Province any charge that applies to the FTC Sale of Beverage Alcohol into its territory," the agreement states.

That sounds suspiciously like a tariff. In fact, it sounds exactly like a tariff.

But the whole point of coming up with this agreement was the hand-wringing caused by the need to counter Mr. Trump's tariffs and their harmful consequences for Canadian industry.

So why are provinces fighting Mr. Trump's tariffs by coming up with their own for each other?

One reason may be to protect their lucrative revenue streams, whether that is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the Liquor Stores or other provincial retail or wholesale operations.

The easier and cheaper it becomes for producers in one province to sell their alcohol to consumers in another, the more the bottom lines of these provincial bodies are likely to suffer.

That isn't an argument in favour of protecting their profits. It is an argument for provinces to get out of the retail alcohol business.

Alberta moved to privatize its government liquor stores in 1993. When it did so, the selection of available products skyrocketed and alcohol sales remained a significant source of tax revenue.

Now that easing interprovincial trade has become a priority, that must come with refinishing how and why government monopolies are operated. Not allowing one province to charge loss or markups on products from another province is a starting point.

There is another pretty fundamental flaw to what the premiere just signed. None of it is legally binding. It's right there near the bottom. "This Agreement sets out the understanding of the Parties with respect to their cooperation and does not create any legal obligations or enforceable rights," the agreement says.

So, to sum up. The provinces have, after a year-and-a-half, agreed to free trade in alcohol. Unbearthen chooses to sign tariffs like how many purchases. And either they choose to keep the entire idea whenever the mood strikes them. In truth, the premiere have concurred a nasty cocktail of political posturing, and prioritizing provincial concerns over the needs of consumers and the national economy.

Re: "Canopy rules out using energy as leverage in U.S. trade talks" (July 2): I almost burst out laughing when I read that of war - "powerful, potential leverage point" which could be used to promote the United States. It could, in a pitch, obtain oil from Venezuela, Russia or Mexico.

Where else could Alberta send four million barrels every day? Oh, that's right, exactly nowhere.

Re: "Assorted NATO intent has history of hand, was ordered to take ethics course" (Aug 2): What an inappropriate requirement for findings. Attending an ethics course doesn't make sense, and what about, in the same way that reading the Criminal Code doesn't make someone law-abiding.

When a manager finds someone has engaged in dishonest conduct in an attempt to be hired, surely the appropriate response is to not hire the person, and even if he some reason they are hired because they "day between the curate," why would Canada not, at minimum, do its dual diligence and achieve NATO?

If Canada wants to be using a credible country, we need to do a lot of things better. Let's start by being competent and fully transparent with our allies about Canadian employees they are considering allowing to work with them.

Robert Prodan Winnipeg

That must have been some special ethics course. I wonder if it is up for next cancer review?

If this is the outcome, who needs a workshop? If we are to sustain the Public Service Commission, one can only hope it undertakes a serious process and procedure review.

Someone should explain that our world is increasingly difficult and complex, and a naive staff isn't helping make Canada or the world safer. How Canadian is this?

AGE-DUE WISDOM

Re: "Tobi Luthie" idea that pensioners be included from voting is offensive. The concern behind it isn't "dispute" on Business, Aug. 2. I disagree, as I find both the idea and the concern otherwise.

Voting, said Shopify co-founder Tobi Luthie, should be limited to those "with a stake in the future." A foundation of our democracy is that all citizens have the right to vote, and each

is entitled to one vote.

What would be present next? Should we disembarkless those with cancer or other conditions with interpersonal life expectancy, or those with incomes below a certain threshold?

Maybe we should give these with "high lifestyles" multiple votes since they contribute most tax dollars to government politics. Maybe we should take away the voting rights of the unemployed, welfare recipients or those with disabilities on government subsidies.

I, for one, am embarrassed to read this opinion.

Michael Gibson Toronto

As a pensioner, I find this view disrespectful and unfair. Having retired for more than a decade does not mean I lose my ability to think critically or make informed decisions about the future of my country.

I have spent decades working, paying taxes and exercising my democratic rights in elections. These experiences give me valuable perspectives that deserve to be represented at the ballot box as much as anyone else's.

I want the assumption that pensioners only vote in self-interest. We care deeply about the future that our children, grandchildren and younger generations will inherit. Every voter brings different life experiences and priorities, regardless of age. To me, democracy is stronger when every citizen has an equal voice, not when we start deciding that some people are no longer worthy of voting simply because they have reached retirement.

Dave Borden Calgary

We are warned about the "dysprostitution of economic growth," primarily among women. But also the middle-aged middle class. I can't help but laugh.

We have mindlessly pursued countries, accelerating economic growth at the root of the environment, our health and often our safety. The natural result of such government policies is the world we live in today, our with which many in my youthful generation are deeply disenchanted, one of idigestion and profound economic inequality. Idigestion and quality of life is clearly linked with systems of justice.

Instead of pursuing economic growth on our main goal, and hoping in the face of all evidence that the rising tide will lift all boats, the government should make its priority to deliver you and improve them to quality while for all citizens, but especially the most deprived.

Pharmacists and dental care are a good start. How to pay for it? A wealth tax comes to mind. Ian McInnes Ottawa

ESSENTIALLY

Re: "Wesley's strike may be over, but travellers are still reeling from doings." (Aug. 2). The West-Jet strike left tens of thousands of Canadians scrambling to salvage vacations, family reunions and business commitments during one of the busiest travel weekends of the summer. While workers have every right to bargain collectively, deliberately timing a strike to inflict the greater disruption on the travelling public is difficult to defend.

This raises an important question. Should our action industry be treated as an essential service, with disputes resolved through binding arbitration rather than work surpasses that hold the public hostage? The current system gives both sides powerful leverage, but it is ordinary Canadians who end up hearing the costs. When a service is as vital to our economy and mobility as air travel, I see a strong case for Parliament to ensure it continues to operate while labour disputes are settled.

Canadians deserve a system that protects both workers' rights and the public interest. Samuel Tracy Chelsea, Gov.

GIVE UP

Re: "This real danger of AI isn't what it creates - it's the human agency we are giving away." (Opinion, Aug. 1) The definition of "organists surrender," in relation to the expanding use of artificial intelligence, is interesting but far from a new concept in humanity's history.

What is the QAnon phenomenon on social media, if not an example of mass cognitive surrender? How about the sheep in the classic novel Annual Farrel? Or the mass hysteria in response to The War of the World's radio dis-

tion? Can't we? Technologies being used to involve cognitive surrender on larger and larger scales are legend and capitol base human nature. History demonstrates that it is a normal state for most humans.

Hope exists in the minority who don't surrender, the whole who are often persecuted in their own time, the thinkers who refuse to be bound by colonization. It is there that hope for humanity hits, past, present and future.

'Prayer ban' is not an attack on freedom

'It's a sensible, if slightly incoherent, move to further socialize our government'

There is an air of{tanir-bud-sun-sun-are-bn-bn-are-Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) directive that now prohibits members of God and other specific religious language during the war. It is not the same, as the term is not in a problem: not unlike the 'little-a-goverment-r-sun-or-e-palace' in all the non-communist' in our national government would be an communist in order to make it more 'incheese.' That no-engaged, improved national anthem nevertheless still makes reference to God and so too does the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. While would be the only problem for a certain under these new rules at events such as military parades, after-

carings and graduation ceremonies. Never mind that, I guess.

The new directive notes that because 'the CAF has a duty of religious neutrality,' members provably consider all public events must refrain from 'using words, actions or symbols that are specific to a particular SFI [spiritual or faith tradition]' (with the exception of personal items of religious abuse). That means that an off-shot government would, where prayer has been organized, heighten any natural exposure to 'offer 'spiritual guidance' that does not mention it.

There is an exception for 'indigenous practices.' However, because these 'inclusion supports reconciliation objectives,' according to the document. These indigenous practices 'must be believed to the occasion and instead explicitly within an educational and cultural context,' but they can nevertheless be included. The directive does not elaborate on how an event can at once be religiously and spiritually neutral while incorporating the religious and spiritual practices of just one group (even an educational capacity, but perhaps that

contradiction can be sorted after we determine whether the words of O Canada violate the CAF's commitment to religious neutrality.

So yes, this new measure seems still superfluous, and more than a little incoherent. But that does not render it inherently unequal. Of Conservatives, however, have duties, a much stronger view, because 'NF' leaders (some called the directive 'average of egregious' Mainfils NF Janco) house said it constitutes an 'attack on freedom of religion' and lamented that the CAF is being 'used as a starting ground for whole liberal social experiments.'

To be clear, this directive does not affect how members of the CAF can pray and worship with their own time. The policy also explicitly serves out exceptions for famously, recognizing that 'funeral is considered to be 'fame-to-led event that honours their family's wishes.' It also states that chaplains are not restricted 'during private conversations concerning, without their own or gatherings, or in their spiritual roles.' The new restriction is only when chaplains are speaking at

public military ceremonies, where they are acting as expressions of the CAF (and thus the government), and not simply as faith leaders.

The change is thus less an 'attack on freedom of religion' (of the individual that is) is a move to further socialize the government. That is a good thing: religious freedom is a democracy should mean the ability to produce new, spiritual material and sound, and as a function from religion imposed by the government and its others. In other words, people should be able to pray and choose how to obey want, as long as it does not encourage the office of the

Derivatives are now being profoundly harmful by a quick prayer during the monthtime. By our many, and one could make the argument that the restriction is not a more intense on those affected - or those who would perhaps find meaning from a public prayer - than just leaving things how they were. There's also a nostalgic argument to be made about maintaining traditions and customs in the CAF, and in other institutions that have long been pressed some confusion of faith,

spirituality and devotion to God. But as a general rule, when it comes to religious in government, and religious as expressivity those representing the government, we should opt for a single moment.

Another way the CAF could locate, attempted to achieve religious neutrality (or greater religious neutrality) would have been to mimic what political organization do in the CF, whom the individual Republican conventions, for example, are opened or closed with prayers from a variety of faith leaders, including priests, insians, rallies and so on. But this method would have been a little NF out out or more faith enough, and the foreign nation of public CAF ceremonies into extended prayer seems to that time members to entertain religious practice that has nothing to do with the national and international religious expression is the best alternative, especially since it imposes no restriction on members' private prayers. It is hardly the egregious affiant to religious freedom that Conservatives are making it out of their own life (i.e. sensible (if still a bit incoherent) may be a social government.

Ariana Grande's body is not our business. Her superstardom is

OPINION

This video for Print, the full track of Ariana Grande's home album, opens with a woman who sat in and every morning of graphic violence to come. But it's not the blood-spattering, limb-wroting scenes that have been spunthings many tenses. It's the way Grande looks.

A celebrity's weight is none of our business that the internet, while at times treading carefully last one, he accused of body-shaming, but made it theirs.

You can't help but notice her matchstick arms. Just the cap-like horizontal stripes across her drum, but a slide-tone cutting up so prominently they become a shell for her double strand of pearls. Her giant eyes seem even more gigantic against her hollow chucklemen.

This is not the only common way that tends to arise from a high-profile celebrity's notable weight due to 'Chicago's.' This is something else. Grande's fans—and others—are concerned the might have an eating diet. The tragedy of Karen Carpenter, a global musical talent man, died at 31 in a result of anorexia in 1991, has been said.

The Print movie video was released on Friday the Sunday. Canada announced she would be stopping back from the public life after her current tour. That includes dropping out of the musical funder in the Post with George, scheduled for next summer in London, in which she was to play the lead. She needed a break, the statement said, from

her 'truths, ongoing public scrutiny.'

On Monday night, during a Chicago concert, Grande, reading from her phone, said the decision was not reactive or impulsive; she had quietly made it some time ago 'from a thought-hd and unprovened place,' she said, as the crowd cheered oddly. 'And I want you to know that many things can be true at the same time.'

Grande, who was a turn star in the 'frank-brown system, has been through a hell of a lot in her 15 years, including the terrorist bombing at the end of a very recent in Washington that killed

us people and injured about an others. Bourn later, she tweeted that she was 'trouble.' She was

'Whatever is (or isn't) going on with Grande is not, I repeat, our business. But here's what is, let us has fans call her, to suppress a rock model to masses of young females. She has 100 million Instagram followers. On Spotify, some of her songs have followed of streams.'

Grande is worthy of admirability. She is an extremely talented singer, songwriter, actor. She's hilarious, and beautiful. Cafe, home and young women may see her career. Me, talent—and looks

at a mainstream. They may see have Art's God given visual hope, but they may wish to emulate her in other ways.

In the Print video, a panel of old times' commenting on Grande's character's various audition attempts, repeatedly stamps her applications as 'not good enough' and decides she's 'inauthentic.'

'The way you used to be, I was that, that of the cutting guys comments as the changes her look from audition to audition, to nobody's approval.'

Meanwhile, outside, she delivers flower rising from the cracked sidewalk with. After the

bloody scene in the audition room, the fingers falling in the floor, a little black-out grows back, next to the Hollywood star that buys the ingrown's name.

'All of my favourite stories end in some kind of catastrophe,' she sings. 'But I don't need someone to care me.'

The discovery about Canada is not mean-spirited celebrity going, nor is it just public hand-wropping about a famous person's midfielder, a 24-pound ship for force in the starting socializing level. It's a very difficult, but it seems about the health so warranted: it seems unlikely that others will try to emulate this behaviour on a mass scale.

Eating disorders are dangerous and far too common. There were an estimated 15 million eating disorder (SD) cases globally in 1993, according to a 1993 commentary in Canada's Public Health Agency's scientific journal that calls for increased measurement of SDs in Health Canada warns, if they are not recognized and addressed, eating disorder behaviours can result in serious problems.

The Canadian social Health Association reports that about 50 per cent of people diagnosed with anorexia and bulimia are female. Eating disorders often lead to a number of factors, such as age, sex, and age, but a 25% (30%) per cent are starting at home, that up to 30 per cent of one-year-old girls have dated to low weight.

We cannot diagnose Canada, we can't know what's going on in the United States. We are required to call to our kids, our family and friends. And if you're really in this and worried about yourself, you can wait help from an organization or a counsellor. Please take care.

Failing to fulfill ICC warrants is also a failure to defend Canada's sovereignty

MARK KIRSTEN

OPINION

BURGER

BURGER professor in criminal justice at the University of the Prince of Wales and a senior consultant at the Wayness Foundation

With Canada's sovereignty coming under concurrent threat from the United States, Ottawa should take every opportunity it gets to calculate—to Canadians and others—that we are a special and sovereign state. That includes the way we stigma with international organizations, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC).

On that point, however, the United States continues to signally ring that our sovereignty is up for negotiation.

In November, 2016, the ICC issued an order to enquire the South Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, charging him on well as their own position as an 'unreliable' and three since-deceased House leaders with our crimes and crimes against humanity

over the war in Gaza. The warrant was based on a careful investigation, a review of the evidence against the Netanyahu (including by world-renowned judge and Holocaust survivor Timothy Shorter) and the approval of ICC judges.

Then-prime minister Justin Trudeau said Canada, a member state of the Court, would finally try the decision and enforce the warrant. A real later Prime Minister Mark Carney doubled down, telling Bloomberg twice that the Netanyahu would have would be more in Canada.

The bill of the United States was not a matter travelled to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The U.S. is not a member state with ICC and/or had to sign a obligation to arrest or surrender. Mr. Netanyahu is the Court, but everything cannot happen. He is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu did not take the most direct route from 'tilt-her' to 'how' 'faith', instead, the United States is not a matter of the same. He is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu is the Court, but everything cannot happen. He is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu did not take the most direct route from 'tilt-her' to 'how' 'faith', instead, the United States is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu is the Court, but everything cannot happen. He is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu is the Court, but everything cannot happen. He is not a matter of the same.

and Mr. Netanyahu would be sent to The Hague.

The directed travel path was a small but important victory for justice and accountability. Mr. Netanyahu made it to New York, but his world had changed. He could not do whatever he wanted. If nothing else, the ICC warrant against him meant that he would have to be a good.

Since then, Mr. Netanyahu has travelled to the U.S. on three separate occasions. On each, he entered Canadian airspace, travelling over our Atlantic provinces, Ottawa has been someone which is a 'cruel' to the U.S. and to the U.S. whether the United government has employed permitted to travel through Canadian airspace, or have a balance that brings the French leader travel over Canada. The U.S. is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu is the Court, but everything cannot happen. He is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu is the Court, but everything cannot happen. He is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu is the Court, but everything cannot happen. He is not a matter of the same. Mr. Netanyahu is the Court, but everything cannot happen. He is not a matter of the same.

This ultimately, is a matter of our sovereignty. Under international law, states exercise seven parts every time, and what extends to their land mass. Local leaders and the airspace above them (up to the edge of outer

space) Canada has previously—and rightfully—excluded foreign actors from entering the ideas above the country. After Russia's full-scale invasion and war on aggression on Canada in February, 2016, Canada immediately closed its airspace to any Russian planes—a defiant act of sovereign prerogative, or solidarity with the people under them.

After last month, a Global Affairs spokesperson suggested the CDC that it was up to head to the local whether to fly through Canadian airspace, adding that 'Global Affairs Canada also owes some of its own power to a foreign state (known to take)'.

There is no reason to say that Canada, and Canada alone, to decide who continues territory.

All of this comes as a time when the Trump administration has been quietly seeking to undermine Canada's sovereignty, notwithstanding that the U.S. should make us a 'put state' of the same. The U.S. is not a matter of the same. The U.S. is not a matter of the same. The U.S. is not a matter of the same. The U.S. is not a matter of the same. The U.S. is not a matter of the same. The U.S. is not a matter of the same. The U.S. is not a matter of the same.

including Canada's Kimberly Proof.

This should lead Ottawa to a simple conclusion: 'defending the ICC today is about defending our nation and the US. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same. The US is not a matter of the same.

In failing to stand up for the U.S., Canada is failing to stand up for itself. It also risks continuing to, as Mr. Carney does, demand it in his Davis speech, engage in the 'performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.'

Scrappy film festival finally gets come sleep

Toronto's Insomniac Film Festival is set to end on a high after 15 years showcasing the work of DIY artists

BARRY HERTZ

Personally, the final edition of a film festival is something to mourn, not celebrate. Yet for the magazines behind Toronto's Insomniac Film Festival, shoe (gifts and trials) are highlighting the city's low-budget and DIY artists represents a capstone, not capitalization.

'It finds like an entirely different scene now that there is no started - there are things happening every week that celebrate DIY film, and that was always the dream,' says Adam Brookins, whose team at Insomniac has provided a crucial spotlight to such emerging talents as India Bolkalamore and the comedy trumpet fullfront. 'That's part of why I think it's okay for us to take our love as the final version of the film's first time being doing this forever, but there are more opportunities for the scene now.'

Brookins started Insomniac in his final year of high school, when he and his friends were looking to showcase their own scrappy, no-budget work. After initially looking into a space at the Imagine Carnival 'Nothin Square', a subterranean multiplex near St. Lawrence Market whose manager allowed Brookins free one of the stars after midnight, the festival helped around 40% of its until settling at the Paradise Theatre.

'That first year was way more successful and rewarding than we could have imagined at the time, and there seemed to be a real appetite, when we were all part of us in, to do more events where we could show the work we were

Included in the last cohort of low-budget and DIY films at Insomniac Film Festival is The First Indigenous Female Pronoquiter, directed by A. Williams and Jerome Lee (1979) from

making,' Brookins says. 'In the years since, we've tried to continue the ethos of celebrating the DIY work made by our communities and giving it a platform.'

'It was all we and low-budget, and we didn't know anything about the industry,' adds Brookins's fellow team member Khatib Tade. 'Naturally we all generated several really plucked, DIY work, as opposed to stuff with a commercial, overly polished appeal.'

Over time, that sensibility has made Insomniac one of the breeding grounds for some of the country's most exciting, rough-around-the-aligns cinema. This includes programming the same work of Tristan Wheeler (whose favorite comedy Toronto apartment has generated funny headlines across North America), Nate Wilson (The All-Golden), Jan Haws (whose new film Brong So) will promote at the Toronto International Film Festival this fall). Several favourite Carol Nguyen (the

Canadian Screen Award-nominated the Six Crying at the Street Table), and Maxine Khutam (whose forthcoming feature about Ashberock is set to turn heads).

This is something that has mattered so much to us since we were 18, but we want to give it the full attention that it deserves.

ADAM BONDJIN, MECHANICAL SCHOENBERG

'An absence that we were looking at the time was recognising that a lot of the amounts were that we being made by our peers was challenging the idea of what a film even is. Vlogs, skateboarding videos, TikTok - people are

doing incredibly creative until with very little resources, and not shown in film festival settings,' Brookins says. 'We still show more turning abilities, but it's exciting to platform anything that we find exciting and risk-taking.'

This includes others found by the Insomniac team - such as from Nara Winglesworth, Wintan Wang, Fanjie Joseph and Sebastian Decker - on filmmakers' Vimeo pages and social-media accounts, work that isn't officially submitted for festival consideration.

'Some of the favourite things we've shown are less formal and less straightforward, that speaks to the filmmakers' councils,' says Tade. 'The DIY scene has also changed a lot in presentation over the years, and that comes with this kind of filmmaking becoming more accessible, and poorly getting exposed to that.'

now that have embraced a similar kind of on-the-finger energy, including SuperStar and Bleeding Edge - programs that have used space at top cinemas and microcinemas across the city to provide exposure to filmmakers who are either not yet established for the films of DIY or those who work in opposition to the mainstream.

'There is a gap in film festivals for people who are working in the DIY space that aren't sports-unique-minded film festivals. There's more breadth of the type of work over a year for local films, and more than 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

'Naturally, organizing a festival is something that we are looking at the time, not exactly a money-making endeavour from now, insomniac has operated on a modern series of genres from the Toronto Arts Council, and everyone on the team features the festival work with full-time play - some working in the film industry (Brookins does programming work for DIY, Winglesworth for Real Asian International Film Festival, some working in it, and in keeping with the films' DIY spirit, the main members handle every aspect of the festival from programming to multiple roles.'

'This is something that has mattered so much to us since we were 18, but we want to give it the full attention that it deserves. Right now, we're able to do it but it feels like it's a covenant point where the net was we could do that next year,' Brookins says. 'We'd rather end it when it's still fast and exciting and go out having good memories of 4 versus going on these years too long and thinking, man, we should have ended that a while ago.'

The final edition of the Insomniac Film Festival was a thing of it as the Paradise Theatre is Toronto's present individual party.

Heated Rivalry star sends fans into a flurry over $2 Canadian Tire tote bag

ARISA WALTER

There's no question that tote bags are in rough. You can't insure a busy downtown street or end a trendy market without seeing them everywhere - along your shoulders with lucky heads of kids or your purchases! books poking out. Or, in Hudson Williams's case, paper towels and perhaps other miscellaneous household items from a commercial Canadian retail brand.

Over the weekend, the United Rivalry star has made a tote bag, funny when he was soon holding a branded out-white and black plaid Canadian Tire reusable tote bag while out in Toronto alongside his co-star Connor Norris. The action are reportedly filming the second season in the 3rd show in the city.

The shopping bag quickly took off. Online, social-media posters were eager to snap their own busy store, of Williams Williams approved Canadian merch, with fans snapping photos and filming videos of their 14-inning purchases. Some chined in from across the border, asking if successful posters would be willing to ship the bag internationally to places including the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia.

'Is this the Canadian answer to Tristan Lee?' asked one consumer on the phone.

'We could have saved life,' Canadian wrote, informing in the now-shutened Canadian department store Hudson's Key Company (whose recent stripes are now in last week of Canadian Tire).

One Instagram account was made a four. Historica Canada Heritage Minutes graphic of the now-viral image.

By Tuesday afternoon, several news media Canada Toronto Area were sold out of the bag. On Wednesday morning, the store was listed as out of stock on the Canadian Tire website in some areas.

The shopping bag has been on the market since 1980, and you, there are plans to extend the store. 'Nate's sweet still have stock, and there's more that have sold out will be extended shortly,' the company confirmed by e-mail.

On Canada, single-sea plants shopping bags were banned in 2022. Shoppers typically opt to purchase inexpensive shores from 'like the plaid reusable bag Williams selected - to carry out their purchased belongings.'

'Toronto Organic, a Toronto-based digital centre, took a Instagram to explain the viral trend like video has now been viewed on the age more than 12,000 times. 'It's the Hudson Williams affair!' one consumer wrote, in the video, Organic chafes the shopping bags popularity up to the actor's global influence. 'Say what you want about celebrity culture, but celebrities do have in Boston.' She lists a number of items that have also experienced a surge in popularity after being worn by Williams, including shorts and powellers.

After skyrocketing to fame almost overnight upon Brand of 1985's series release, Williams and Norris have evolved into objects of fascination for fans and paparazzi. The stars are so recognizable that the freedom to almost uncontrollable, with the show's official Instagram account posting a written statement on Tuesday requesting 'space' for the show's cast and crew during filming.

Others online weren't as taken by the stars - or the shopping bag trend - with one poster writing, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think the Canadian Tire bag is my last move.

'Any Canadians really excited about a plaid plant bag?' said another poster on Threads. 'Don't we better than that?'

It's not the first time the show and its actors have sparked online layover over a total form. After the release of the first season, fans enthusiastically believed to character Diane Hollander's Team Canada Rises jacket to be manufactured and sold for purchase. Province of Canada, a made-in Canada apparel brand, took on the challenge and the item become available for proud on June 3. It sold out in just 10 minutes.

Sarika Cullis-Suzuki finds joy in the analog 'Nature of Things'

Sarika Cullis-Suzuki's passion for slowing down and leaving the Earth a little bit better than she found it in steped into her life. Instead as a marine biological and ocean conservation expert, her work has taken her around the world - to create a new life, to launch, the UK headquarters and the coastal ocean of British Columbia, where she lives. It made some that in 2022 when her father, world renowned environmentalist David Suzuki, retired as the Engineer level of CEO, The Nature of Things. Cullis-Suzuki would take the helm alongside science communicator and co-host Anthony Morgan.

In the instalment of Joy Barron, Cullis-Suzuki explains why going analog and doing this thing that made a big difference keeps her grounded, happy and hopeful.

JON DUBOIS

What brings me joy is everything analog. I use an agenda to write down all the things that I need to do. It makes me feel more human. I could put it on my phone, but it brings me joy to write it down and do some details - and it's some of the only time that I can be physically creative like that.

I have a hard line - which is so retro - for my son to make his own play date. I have this radio that I turn on and listen to every morning. I have intentionally surrounded myself with those things that are not online.

The Nature of Things is not just one TV. I am of people, unwielding it on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. We are on those platforms, but it's interesting because I am sure I've had directions and people in the film industry look at this and say, 'You don't exist.' But I'm standing right here.

The online world is a big part of what we do, but if you think about what The Nature of Things really is, it's about connection. It's about interacting with the Earth, with exactly with each other I am advocating for people to be in nature, to spend time with each other, doing the things that matter to them.

As human beings - and it's most obvious when you're a child - our natural state is unsound - and you're experience the world with all of your senses. During COVID-19, my kids and I would go out on the goods every morning and check on how this spider and her babies were doing - to receive, it's!

Staging my home is exhausting me

FIRST PERSON

The tedious process of decluttering for drowings has sought me to have less stuff. Marina Boehm writes

I come through my house, hardly breathing about to reach anything at I room. I have a sharp cro- out for a fellow cashed at the wrong angle, a misfolded towel or a sneaky speck of dust trying to give me the slip. Even the smoke of my cupboards and bldgs are aligned as penisely as seldom standing in foetal- tion. My house is for sale, and I need everything to be "just right" for the next drowing.

My family has been living on cageshells for weeks now. Not one of us has dined to be a lot over a second degree living room sols for fear of not being able to recreate the perfectly "cheyrod" pillows the design professional left behind. In this slow real estate market, every drowings is precious I may not have command over the buyers, but at least I can control the presentation of my house.

Initially, we were excited about having our house listed. At that point, with opt- mons still surging through our voice, stag- ing the house for each morning was around and nerve-wracking process of trying to restore the tableau the stage had contem- crated through the marriage of my farm- taze with her flourishes.

Now, having staged and unstaged the house numerous times, it has become cros- tive and, don't say it, tedious. Plus there are the continuing demands of during the furniture, cleaning the counters, rests and toilets, and clearing learns off the paint. Our Roomba has been in almost constant

motion and is demanding overtime pay- This anxious waiting game has followed months of lethal activity. It started with the dreaded "framed" - deciphering times sacrificing usually off storage, the emptying of the basement of all its bookstubbers and counters, including dozens of bulky old fashioned photo albums, commenced. Then the house punched to be dismantled. Our son's immense collection of assem- blest taps sent my bed to be released. Finally, the beloved old घर room sofa (what mates it could tell!) was gifted along its long last, now flooring could be installed to replace the pink carpet that was likely mediating its own ecosystem. The basement, which has remained delib- erably unstaged in "blank date" as our author calls it; now has a rewording cube.

Next came new carpet runners for the stain, installed in a man everyone simply ordered to us. "The Carpet Can," had then the painting began and seemed to go on forever... and forever. In reality, it was only on days, but the chaos of displaced furniture, drywall dust, paint fumes and immerse of bloody strangers felt endless.

Thereafter, the steam drawers and deep cleveres descended on our house to must- cally eradicate all incriminating evidence of the recent upgrades. Meanwhile, I cleaned and called every closet, medicine cabinet, vanity and shelf in the house. Finally, the carpet appeared with all but abstract art and mirrors, throws and throw curbows, carpets and bed covers, plants and candles, part in time for the real estate photographer to capture our house's glow up.

The younger of our two sons, away at university, came home to a different house and bedroom every time he visited. I watched him go through the fire stages of death and dying each time. The angry stage seemed to last an especially long

time. An uneasy acceptance seems to have been achieved, but I wonder if we will run the guarded again once the house actually sells 50 course. I too will have to deal with my own giveling process as I finish quick- ing up our beloved home at the past so years.

Now, as I be awake at night, I worry about when the house will sell, deciding the prospect of bridge financing. To divert my midnight morning rooms of candles, cubbers and carpets dance at my head, as I attempt to create our next home with the clue of an insidious stage.

In the meantime, living with less has been memories. Unbelievably, our self- strange locker is filled to bursting. Yes, there are times when I want something that is lost somewhere in that space, but, for the most part, I haven't missed much of it and what is needed can often be easily replaced. I am dreading the unpudding process just as he hand more by all the things I don't need, want or know how to get rid of - death by y'clock demons.

So, as I straighten, that and clean in anticipation of another showing, I vow once again to get ruthless with my earthly possession so that my kids won't have to suffer the way to have, shall weas to myself that I will always keep my new house as taly and decelerated as the current one has been for the past few weeks.

But first things first - to sell our current house, as I look the front door, the end- tors I inclines dangling from the doorbook. I pray that this showing will finally be the one that leads to an offer. Until then, my family and I will hide our dirty laundry and eat our meals out.

FROM A13

These moments are much more interesting than anything you'd find online. Or recently, my kid needed a handful tea. Things are more fulfilling when you make it yourself.

I also try to do things that make the world better offline because it can be hard to take in so much negative global news. A finding for those of us in the envi- ronmental movement is that we are not doing enough - that we need to do something that will change the world - and I think that can be a preaching feeling.

One of the counters that I have is very simple. When I feel really hopeless, there's nothing I can do. I will take my kids out and clean up some garbage. It's so accessible and clear that I can prove to it and say, "You have made a difference. Not on a global scale, but you have made this path a little cleaner."

I'm doing that to track my kids that they can make a difference, but hasstomachal. I'm immedi- ately myself. It's not changing the world, but it's keeping things a bit more sane. Then things are bringing me, I'm because it reminds me that I'm able to do things. I'm able to take action.

And I'm not judging myself like I need to when I was younger, thinking that it is a way to the bucket. As I'm getting older, I'm realizing that my forms of respira- ce are going to be more effec- tive you aloud scale, and those are things that all of us can do. When there's no time for success any more, could things make and mention absolutely do make a difference.

In many deals, the play of the cards is fairly automatic, and both sides manage to achieve par. But in some deals, the so-called par result is not achieved because one side unwittingly strays from the beaten path and eventually comes to great.

In most such deals, the error becomes obvious once the dead is done; and it is quietly stored away by the offender in the deep recesses of his memory. But every once in a while, the error is not glaring, and the players go secretly on to the next deal, blowfully unaware of any wrongdoing by anybody.

Consider this case where South opened the bidding in fourth seat with four spades and West led a heart. East won with the ace and returned the donor to fourth's king.

Declare was aware of the danger of a heart ruff, so he tried to share the opposing trumps as quickly as possible by leading a spade at trick them. But West won with the ace and led a third round of hearts. East ruffed declare's queen and cashed the ace of clubs to set the contract.

This was not a par result. Despite the perfect defense by East-West, declarer should have made

the contract. Instead of leading a trump at trick there, South should have cashed dummy's 0-8 of diamonds and discarded his queen of hearts, which was much too hot a potato to keep in his hand.

Having performed this maneuver in the interests of safety, declare could then have led a trump with complete impunity. With the queen of hearts having flown the soup, no return by West could harm the contract.

There are times when it is past as important to discard a winner as a loser.

NADA: Zhang claims she volunteered with the Liberals, parts says it has no record of her holding any formal campaign role!

© FROM A3

Since her arrest, Ottawa has faced questions about how she managed to pass the federal voting process.

As a National Party news conference in Toronto, in reply to a question about whether Canada's screening processes need re-test, Prime Minister Mark Carney said, 'they time you have a situation, you should take you fake stock and take lessons from this.'

Mr. Carney said the probe into Mr. Zhang is 'an active investigation,' which he said insists what he can say about it.

'The only thing I would add cryptically is that Canadian officials have been involved from the start,' he added.

A senior government source said the Prime Minister was referring to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. The source said that the top agency was keeping the Prime Minister updated. The Globe is not naming the source because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

CSIS declined to comment, citing in a statement that the matter is subject to a continuing investigation.

Mr. Zhang wrote detailed accounts of her life in her job applications that were submitted as evidence in the court case. She lists an address in Toronto's North Park as her home and also listed an Ottawa address. She was listed for several government jobs, her affidavit says, as part of the federal resident work experience program. English is her second language, she said in the filings.

In her applications, she listed past information experience for the Toronto International Film Festival and for an 'electron campaign for Liberal Party of Canada,' which she did not specify.

The federal Liberal Party said in a statement that it had 'no record of the individual in question holding any formal

campaign role.'

At the time of her application to the CEOs, she was completing an licensor economics degree from York University.

In a 2007 customer placement, she said in the filings, she worked as a junior and scientist at the federal National Research Council Ford of her work, she said, was in analytic ship movements in the port of Montreal.

The court case, according to the documents, she studied 'sverse movement data' for Statistics Canada's agricultural division before migrating to EERC in early 2009 to do data analysis for programs such as Old Age Security and the Canada Process Plan. She said 'for work there was devoted to developing 'predictive models and other data-driven tools to ensure that the right Canadian are being paid the right benefit at the right time.'

She NRL Statistics Canada and EERC all declined to comment, citing the continuing investigation.

By 2010, the court filings show, Mr. Zhang had created seven profiles for the online job portal that is used by applicants to the federal public service. In her court submissions, she said this was a result of forgetting her login information, which forced her to create new login life when she applied to new jobs.

She responded to a CEOs posting for a particular staff position that paid up to big 2010-2011. The security agency said it was modernizing by hiring staff who 'have a passion for analytics.'

Mr. Zhang was among 1,200 candidates who applied for the job, but she submitted two applications, using different e-mails and calling herself 'He was Zhang' in one application and 'Zhang Street' in the other, the court filings show.

When it came time to write the civil service text, she wrote it twice - on March

1 and March 31, 2010. This was despite federal rules that say job candidates cannot write the same text twice within six days.

After being alerted to her multiple applications, the Public Service Commission, a government watchdog for federal hiring, legal, investigating her and demanded a sit-down interview.

In 2012, while the commission found that Mr. Zhang had not acted deliberately in submitting two applications, it ruled that she had committed fraud in sitting for the examination twice and failing to confirm that fact when 'asked directly' by the border agency. In 2014, a Federal Court judge ruled against Mr. Zhang, stating her appeal.

The court records show that as early as 2016, investigation with the commission had sought interviews with her about the CEOs applications, and that her interview with the watchdog took place in December.

However, Mr. Zhang was re-lined by Statistics Canada in May, 2020 through an internal non-admitted appointment and verified there for a year, according to the 1967's investigation that was contained in the court records.

Although the record of employment filed in court is only current up to 2018, a LinkedIn account that The Globe has identified as belonging to Mr. Zhang says she worked at the European Space Agency in Italy in 2012, and later as a systems engineer at the Canadian Space Agency in Quebec.

Colleen Bauman, a labour lawyer who acted for Mr. Zhang in the Federal Court appeal, said 'dedicated that she could not comment on the case.'

'I have no information whatsoever,' she said, adding that she worked on Mr. Zhang's case years ago.

CARINEY SAYS HE DOES NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE IN FIFA PRESIDENT

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday he no longer has confidence in FIFA president-Gamri Infantino, adding to growing pressure on the soccer leader after his abandonment plan to sell stakes in the World Cup sparked a global backlash.

Mr. Carney said Mr. Infantino committed a 'total' governance failure by not consulting senior advisors, including FIFA's chief operating officer and board members.

'We run a few organizations in my way,' Mr. Carney said. 'The idea that proper governance is not to disclose to your closest advisors, your chief oper-

ating officer, your fellow board members something of consequence that you're even considering, 'you show proposals that should be held.'

'Certainly I don't have confidence in Mr. Infantino.'

Canada co-funded the 2018 World Cup with the United States and Mexico, and Mr. Carney appeared alongside Mr. Infantino at several tournament events.

He sat in a box with the FIFA president, U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Canada and teamed at the World Cup final in East Rutherford, N.J., last month and joined the three

other leaders on stage to present awards after Spain beat Argentina 3-0 in extra time.

Mr. Carney's comments came days after Mr. Infantino abandoned the proposal after those opposition from the Union of European Football Associations, national soccer federations and senior FIFA advisors.

Mr. Infantino had proposed creating a UNico-billion campaign to run the World Cup with proven investors including the Rainbow turner, a former backlash. ASSOCIATED PRESS with reports from THE CANADIAN PRESS

CANADA'S SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT 'UNEQUIVOCAL'. PM

DITRANS Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that Canada's support for the International Criminal Court is 'unequivocal,' but he stopped short of criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump's sanctioning of a Canadian judge.

'Canada is a proud member of the International Criminal Court. We support it with funding, we support it with personnel, we support it with our values, we support it with our actions, and we will continue to do so,' Mr. Carney told a French news conference.

'It provides an essential service in a

world that is more dangerous, more divided.'

Mr. Trump sanctioned Winnipeg-born ICC Judge Kimberly Peart last August over her work on a case involving American troops in Afghanistan.

Canada - unlike France - has never directly criticized the U.S. sanctions, which have left Justice Peter unable to see more credit and/or an unthreatened service, and as obnoxious as airlines.

'We'll provide support at needed and we work with our American colleagues on a variety of issues to work to achieve

results, but our support for the ICC is unequivocal,' Mr. Carney said.

Justice Peter said in February that the Canadian company at The Hague had helped her and told her that Ottawa had criticized Canada's battle to discuss how they should proceed.

She said these Canadian banks told her they needed to cancel her credit cards and explained which services they could ship provide to their legal limits.

Justice Peter is asking a New York court to reverse the sanctions. THE CANADIAN PRESS

© FROM A3

Last month Mr. Trump announced that he would say Section 2107 of the United Hawley Tariff Act of age to impose 50-percent tariffs on UNico-billion worth of Canadian exports, including alcohol, tobacco and electronics. These levies, which will take effect Aug. 30, have 50 a fire under the previously stalled trade negotiations.

The Globe and Mail reported earlier this week that negotiations have come to a proposal from last year under which Canada would accept a system of quotas on-road and aluminum exports to the U.S. in exchange for Mr. Trump lowering his 50-percent tariffs on the metals, imposed under Section 2107 of the Trade Expiration Act of 2010. Talks involving autos have been less detailed.

But Mr. Carney said the goal is still to get a deal that covers all these taxes.

'Canada has been very clear. We want all 2120 addressed, all strategic sectors,' he said in English. 'Not all, aluminum, autos, forest products.'

Autos are 'very much at the core of what we're talking about,' he added later.

One industry source with knowledge of the negotiations said the U.S. has to be with much broad knowledge of the autos. Because those tariffs are such a pain point for Canada, the source said, the Trump administration may be holding off on negotiating them in order to squeeze as much as they can out of Ottawa fees.

Another industry source said the U.S. wants to negotiate other issues before turning to the Section 2107 tariffs on a tallow move on to larger structural issues in the North American economy.

The Globe is not identifying the two sources because they were not authorized to reveal details of the should-ต้อง talks.

U.S. Trade Representative La Minerva Clever has said he wants interim agreements with Canada and Mexico providing a long list of bilateral trade relations before the end of the year. Negotiations over structured changes in the United States have been a major agreement, including automobile contest rules, will likely entail an interest year, he said.

Such a negotiations sequence, however, would be to tighten Canada to resolve, as it would entail making a deal on a host of trade issues - and giving up earnings in talks - without any guarantee that Mr. Trump's 50-percent auto tariffs will be likely to reduced.

Among the bilateral issues, the U.S. is demanding greater access to Canada's supply managed dairy market and wants an end to Canadian retailers' measures for previous levies such as provincial taxes on U.S. alcohol and auto taxes.

Auto negotiations are particularly tricky. While Mr. Trump has insisted the U.S. should not buy finished vehicles from Canada and Mexico, he wants to consider production is so heavily integrated that the industry has been warning that the U.S. is hurting itself by imposing tariffs on its trading partners' production.

'In tariffs and investments have already been made in trade patterns within North America. Canadian car imports from the U.S. have dropped, while imports from Mexico and other countries have risen. Canada, as soon, is shipping forest cars to the U.S.'

The number of new earnings has got to be. 'Listen, if you believe China is your competition, Mexico and Canada are part of the American industry,' Bob Widdow, a former professional and co-founder of auto parts maker Matthews International Inc., said in an interview, adding that Ottawa also has to make clear that tariffs raise the price of American vehicles.

The United States also people buy less. When they buy less, they produce less. When they produce less, there are less jobs,' he said.

After Mr. Trump's 50-percent auto tariffs on a tallow move on to tariffs, Mr. Carney said that 'everything is on the table' as he considers how and whether to retake in the event the new levies take effect. Last week, however, he received country ruling out restricting oil and gas exports to the U.S. as a countermeasures.

On Wednesday, the Prime Minister, who is typically asked not to unnecessarily provide the same information, said that, at one point stocked him.

When Mr. Carney's shipcomputer broke down, he referenced an episode last year as which Mr. Trump accused the United Nations of 'sabotage' over uncharted sales of the U.S.

'Unlike a certain world leader,' Mr. Carney quipped. 'I do not view this as a conspiracy.'

Health Canada backlog of generic drug applications doubles

CHRIS HANNAY

Health Canada is taking longer to assess generic drug applications from manufacturers, with the backlog of submissions doubling in the past year, now government data show.

The delays mean Canadian patients, as well as public and private insurers, are waiting longer to access cheaper pharmaceuticals, although the department said the backlog is principally due to a sharp increase in the number of generic drug submissions.

Health Canada next to target of including a generic drug submission within the days for 75 per cent of reviews in the 2025-26 fiscal year, according to department figures.

They was down from date The Globe and Mail reported on last summer, which showed the regulator was on time for 9.6 per cent of reviews in 2024-25 - which was itself a decrease from a 100-per-cent success rate in multiple recent years.

The backlog of submissions stood at 250 in June, up from 107 last September.

Jim Keon, president of the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association, said the delays are making it difficult and more expensive for manufacturers to arrange their supply chains and plan for patient support programs, since the timing of when they can launch products is unclear.

South Africa faces economic distress after migrants flee violence

GEOFFREY YORK

OFFICE BUREAU CHIEF

JOHANNESBURG

More than 100,000 migrants have fled South Africa after months of violence and threats by vigilante mobs, raising fears of labour shortages and trade disruptions in an economy already struggling with stagnant growth.

Many leaders are worried that anti-boraguer violence could weaken South Africa's links to the broader African market, causing the same economic damage that Britain suffered after it left the European Union.

Anti-migrant groups have matched door-to-door in some of South Africa's poorest communities, reducing the expulsion of foreigners from countries such as Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi and Nigeria.

They accuse migrants of taking jobs away from local workers - despite statistical evidence that immigrants have boosted the economy.

Immigrants make up about 5 per cent of South Africa's population of about 9.62 million, but studies estimate they contribute about 4 per cent to the economy.

There are already reports that the forced departure of African migrants has caused labour shortages in the agricultural and textile industries, endangered the tourism and small business sectors - alongside trading routes and threatened the exports and investments of South African companies in the continental market.

Defence dilemma: Banks want to lend, but many in the sector lack a track record to qualify

STEFANIE MARSTTA

SANDIA'S REPORTER

Canada's banks are facing roadblocks in financing the ambitious growth plans of defence companies as the leaders wade in to the sector after decades of largely neglecting the industry.

Outgrowing defence companies, meanwhile, are keen to land lucrative government procurement contracts, but are notorgating challenges accessing the critical financing required to navigate what is typically a prohibitively long holding process.

While banks that historically shied away from defence financing are now pledging support for the sector, they need to see that defence companies have secured procurement contracts before they are willing to

lend - especially to smaller businesses with uncertain revenue streams and nascent compliance programs.

"They need to get the contracts before they get financing," Dominique Rubin, Instituto Canada LLP partner and co-lead of the law firm's defence and national security practice, said in an interview.

She has been advising defence and dual-use technology companies - businesses whose products have both defence and non-defence applications - on how to improve their risk assessment, regulatory compliance and other measures to help them appeal to the larger lenders.

"Compliance is an issue. If I'm a bank, I'm requested to invest in an SWL that is involved or wants to be involved in the defence sector, I'm going to look under the hood and see if they're actually ready to do

that."

The disconnect threatens to slow Prime Minister Mark Garney's initiative to equally expand Canada's defence capabilities. The government has earmarked more than 384 billion in defence spending over five years, aimed at reducing Canada's reliance on the United States for protection.

The impending explosion of government contracts is expected to ignite a flurry of deals as companies bolster their defence capabilities, including by upgrading equipment, building new facilities and recruiting talent. The industry is capital intensive and businesses are seeking equity lines of credit and working capital loans. © DEFENCE, 86

The wreckage hiding beneath the stock market's record highs

TIM SHIPPY

ANALYSIS

Just like that, we're back to record highs. War, policy oil, inflation, a surge in global bond yields and the latest artificial intelligence that must have been so much for the challenge of stock market. For investors, those are the best of times. The S&P 500 Composite Index has doubled in just the past four years. It feels like everyone is making money.

Many think this is state. How much longer can this go on? You can't go a week without some big name in the business calling this the mother of all stock market bubbles.

To that skepticism, the same unavoidable counterpoint keeps coming up. This is about earnings.

"For now, earnings have been growing so strongly that it's hard to call this a bubble," Justien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, said in a recent note. "Bubbles have been about ex-

cessive valuations and a lack of earnings growth. So far, we don't have either."

By some measures, in fact, this has been a surprisingly unforgiving high market. Record highs - denotes a test of earnings beneath the surface. These are arguably the more intriguing stories in a market captivated by extraordinary success.

Major structural shifts are afloat, and the companies deemed to be on the wrong side of them have been treated ruthlessly.

The biggest one is AI, which, in 2020 you haven't heard, is going to change the way the world does everything, in every possible way, forever. Not the kind of trend a company wants to miss.

IBM is a good example - a ten-year-old company reduced by one-quarter of its market value in minutes, its future cloud oil because it misjudged AI's pace of change.

But then you see that IBM's stock has quietly bounced by 15 per cent over the past two weeks. It hasn't come done to making up for the historic loss, but if you bought the crash, you're not regretting it. © MARKET, 86

Shopify shares soar as AI efforts see payoff

Company has been building tools to make it easier for shoppers to find online retailers.

GLYNA GRANDY

Shopify Inc.'s share price jumped on per cent Wednesday after the company reported strong second-quarter revenue with pay growth that beat analysts' estimates, driven by the development of AI tools that are attracting recent merchants to use its services.

The Ottawa-based e-commerce giant has seen growth from agents' commerce, which is the use of autonomous AI agents to search for and buy products online. Shopify has been building AI tools to help make it easier for shoppers to find online retailers, pushing up the total value of goods sold on its platform.

"We have a very strong conviction that commerce experiences will soon be built in to everywhere people are spending their time," Shopify president Harley Finkelstein told analysts during a call to discuss the quarterly earnings.

The average chain-optimized results likely alleviated some in order from around growing competition for Shopify, after the company's stock price subdopment in recent months. Citi analyst Tyler Ralick wrote in a research note:

"The results appear to be driven by balanced growth across North America and Europe, and we suspect accelerated share gains among larger merchants," he said.

Earn an Wednesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The company, which reports its U.S. dollars, said its second-quarter revenue rose to US$0.6 billion, up nearly 24 per cent compared with the same period last year. That exceeded analysts' expectations of US$1.4 billion, according to average estimates compiled by NXP Capital Inc.

Net income climbed to US$0.6 billion, or US$1.01 a share, up from US$0.09-million or to US cents a share in the same period in 2023.

More merchants are now making use of Shopify's AI tools such as its fieldstick assistant, which can help with more setup

and design, and later, provide analytics.

However, greater use of these tools had been increasing the company's AI costs, Shopify would have to promote contingency call in May.

More recently the company has been rebalancing its interests with greater cost control, an e-citizen said on Wednesday's

"The way we think about these models is, we use the best model for the job. We use the best model to make it easier when it matters, we use less expensive models where it simply not needed," Mr. Finkelstein says.

Shopify has also partnered

with companies such as OpenAI, Google and Microsoft Corp. to offer its products through user conversations with platform or searches, boosting its merchants' sales.

The company reported a 24-per-cent increase in gross merchandise volume, which is the value of transactions made over Shopify's platform.

Catalog, one AI tool the company has built, enhances merchants' prices, and has to provide more specific information when consumers are searching for things to buy. Mr. Finkelstein said. "In part the example of looking for a new store please for has to year-old daughter.

"Five years ago I would have done that in [online] search, and I probably would have received some highest retailer selling a bunch of different random products," he said.

Instead, he was directed to a product called Tar Can which is a landline-style phone that uses WiFi to make calls, and is specifically designed to introduce children to talking on the phone. The company is also a clinical of Shopify's.

Shopify's "magic sauce," Mr. Finkelstein added, is offering a variety of products that merchandise are depending on their needs from small e-commerce sites just beginning to build their presence, to much larger and more complex businesses that require in-depth analysis tools.

"We want to make sure that anyone who's starting a business at their meets his/her sales says Shopify. We know not all will succeed," he said. "But what we've seen over 20 years, [is that] the ones that do, stay with us indefinitely."

Toronto home sales rise for fifth straight month in July

DAN JOHN'S REPORTER

Toronto home sales and prices climbed in July, a sign that the country's largest real estate market could be on its way back to 2023.

There were 5,269 transactions in the Toronto area last month, according to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, or TRBEB.

That was 2.4 per cent higher than June, after removing seasonal influences, and resulted the fifth straight month of increasing sales volumes.

Activity remained ahead compared with historic norms, however, with last month's sales 2.7 per cent below the 10-year average for July, according to the board.

Meanwhile, new listings fell 0.4 per cent from the 2.4 per cent below the allowances putting their properties up for sale. That was the third straight month of declines.

TRBEB said increased sales combined with lower new listings suggests that prospective businesses faced more competition, which could eventually boost prices in the second half of the year.

The typical home price, as per TRBEB's home price index, was $0.6 per in July. That was 0.2 per cent higher than June, making for the second month 0.4 per cent

increased.

Compared with last July, the home price index was down 4.4 per cent. Conden recorded the largest decline in value, with a 1-year-over-year drop of 7 per cent. Townhouses declined by 4 per cent and detached houses decreased by 14 per cent.

Most of the valuable near Toronto recorded insuper drops than the city.

Toronto's home price index has declined by 2.8 per cent year-over-year, while in York Region, in the north of the city, the home price index was down 0.2 per cent compared with by 0.2223.

In Fred, to the west, the typical home price was down 0.7 per cent over the same period. In Durham, in the east, the price was down 1 per cent.

In Halton, a wealthier area that includes Galesville, the typical price was down by 1 per cent.

Stomiers to additionally a down 0.6 per cent activity. However, the industry expects prospective buyers to share more interest if economic turmoil from the U.S. trade dispute and Health East war subsides.

Many would be homebuyers are waiting for confidence in the market and broader economy to improve before making a purchase," TRBEB president Daniel Stumfeld said in a statement.

Drugs: Backlog from 'unprecedented' increase in generic applications, Health Canada says

FRANK EL

"It just makes it impossible to plan in any concrete way," Mr. Keon said.

Canada's management that went to sell their products in Canada must submit a disease to Health Canada demonstrating that the products are bioequivalent, which means they work inside the body the same way as the branded drugs they mone.

"The department said the backlog is because of its 'unprecedented' increase in the volume and complexity of generic drug applications, and that it is taking steps to improve its processing time."

Embarrassment Waterflow Bundle said Health Canada received 1,000 submissions on 2023 in a 10 per cent increase compared with the previous three-year average.

"Submissions are generally more complex and require more hours of scientific review to ensure the regulatory requirements for safety, efficacy and quality are met," Mr. Bundle said in a statement.

She said the department is currently issuing an average of 40 admissions annually, up from 25 a month five years ago.

A recent 1000 pages from K2V3A, a pharmaceutical company, said Canada is experiencing a pronounced wave of drug patent regulations, with the drugs representing localities on annual sales being their legal protection between 2020 and 2030. It highlighted coming patent regulations for the popular airborne drug failure and Ebola, which make it more difficult to use.

Mr. Keon said the industry supports Health Canada generating certain applications as one way to deal with periods of high submission

volumes. For example, the regulator could prioritize applications for drugs taking damages or where there is not already a generic option on the market.

Health Canada said recently it will launch a pilot project to prioritize generic drugs made in Canada.

Mr. Keon said the industry's main request is that Health Canada increase its review staff so they can handle this greater workload.

He noted manufacturers pay a lot with such application, which this year reached $15,000 for the most common generic submission type. Health Canada must refund a quarter of the fee if it does not issue a decision within its 10-day target.

The department has told generous makers and the association in meetings in the past year that it would have an additional review staff, which fell short of the industry's suggestion of 100 over staff. As of June, Health Canada said 10 over staff had been hired on two-year terms.

Mr. Keon said the federal government has kept pledging to improve its review process, but hasn't made progress yet. "They're acknowledging the issue, but they've not seriously addressing it," he said.

Generic drug prices in Canada are not just an agreement between the COTA and Public Health plans. When the first generic version of an off-patent drug is launched, it is priced at 75 per cent or 90 per cent of the brand name for price. That eventually falls in 25 per cent or 25 per cent less than or more generic versions of the market, with the price depending on the type of drug.

The pricing agreement was renewed for another few years in June.

Thomson Reuters to roll out in-house of model as quarterly revenue rises

JAMES BRADSHAW

INSTITUTIONAL INVESTING ADVISERS

Thomson Reuters Corp. is preparing to deploy its own artificial intelligence model tailored to legal professionals after an in-house experiment showed that it performs a 2.4 per cent of the stock market against leading products from a license of labs.

"The information and software company spent the past two years creating a large language model called Thomson, in tracking market-based startup July Sign Technologies, which Thomson Reuters acquired last year.

"The Thomson model was built on a modest budget of 10 US$1.7 million and trained using only about 8 per cent of the company's own of legal customers.

"On benchmarking tests, the model was competitive with recent versions of models launched by OpenAI, landscape-and-temple-inspired, especially on legal tasks, according to information released by Thomson Reuters.

"Chef executive officer Steve Hasker said on Wednesday more were that the model's performance had left him 'excited, to say the best,' after the company released its second-quarter financial results.

Thomson Reuters malled its target for total revenue growth in the first higher to approximately 8 per cent, after previously forecasting 15 per cent to 8 per cent growth.

The company's quarterly revenue increased 5 per cent to US$0.6-million in the second quarter, and 20 per cent in the company's three core divisions serving legal, tax and accounting, and corporate customers.

Thomson Reuters earned profit of $1.6 million in the last two years, in the quarter that ended June 30. That compared with US$0.6-million, or 0.2 US cents a share, in the same quarter last year.

On an album of shares, Thomson Reuters said it earned no US cents a share, which beat analysts' consensus estimate of all US cents a share.

Woodbridge Co. Ltd., the Thomson Family holding company and controlling shareholder of Thomson Reuters, also owns The Globe and Mail.

For the rest of the year, and in 2027, Thomson Reuters said its association will focus on a 2.4 per cent by entering capital-to-share holders through a US$0.6-million turnover rate, with the US$0.6-million, typically 20 percent that the company completed in July.

Thomson model has the potential to improve as it is retained using more of the company's legal archive. And later this month, Thomson Reuters will connect the model to an analyst to indicate CoCoumed Legal product.

Looking ahead, Thomson Reuters will look to license the model to large low fees to use on their own system, and they think keep control every their intellectual property and data.

And the company will "run a home race between leading frontiers models and Thomson," if the proprietary model can continue to deliver a new model that company will connect that software to most of the products it sells to customers.

In mid-July, after the quarter ended, Thomson Reuters reached a deal to sell a majority stake to its global print division to BAM & Co. Inc. for US$0.6-million, leaving up cash from a declining business line to remove its its priority product.

BBC Dominion Securities Inc. analyst Steve McReynolds said in a note to clients that the financial results Thomson Reuters reported Wednesday should be viewed "as a positive for the shares of current levels."

But then — Thomson Reuters felt as a per cent to buy up on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Wednesday, underscoring the continuing unease in markets where points of disruption to the software sector.

Thomson Reuters shares are down 22 per cent so far this year has generally started to rebound in June.

Mr. Hasker said At the potential to expand the total market for software products such as the ones Thomson Reuters offers, as companies spend more for better capabilities, and he expects the company to "take more than our fair share."

"I think our results in the second-quarter years that," he said. Revenue from Thomson Reuters's legal and corporate divisions such increased 10 per cent, or 170% in the year, is $0.6-million, respectively, and the tax and accounting rate was up 8 per cent to US$0.6-million.

Reuters faces revenue increased 4 per cent to US$0.6-million.

With its share price trading lower, Thomson Reuters reduced its overall share count by 1 per cent by entering capital-to-share holders through a US$0.6-million turnover rate, with the US$0.6-million, typically 20 percent that the company completed in July.

Oil sands MOU hasn't changed Suncor spending: CEO

Company posted several record results last quarter despite soggy conditions in Alberta

JAMES GEARDY ENERGY REPORTER TALENT

Suncor Energy Inc. won't immediately change its approach to capital spending and expansion after it and the rest of Canada's five largest oil sands producers signed a non-binding agreement with Ottawa and Alberta, chief executive both Kroger said.

The deal, signed on July 4, set the stage for a substantial increase in crude production and produced forward a massive carbon-capture project in Alberta's south, sharing a hurdle to the construction of a new West Coast oil pipeline.

Mr. Kroger said Suncor is still determining how the memorandum of understanding may affect the company's goals, adding a well remain "very thoughtful on long-term commitments and capital allocation".

He didn't rule out the possibility of increasing production if it prevents value to the company and shareholders in the Mid-Oil (Calgary-based company's "positive today isn't materially different than it would have been six months ago."

The initial government policy details and commitments from oil companies are running from the MOU are due Nov. 16.

Mr. Kroger said while there is still a lot of work to do to function on its binding yet of additional non-definitive agreements, he was encouraged that the deal has created a "very different world and lower today than it has been in the past."

Suncor CEO Bob Kroger says the company is still determining how the memorandum of understanding may affect plans, adding it will remain "very thoughtful on long-term commitments and capital allocation". KFP 04/6/2020 | THE GLOBAL/OWALL

The Alberta government has proposed a new pipeline to carry one million barrels of oil a day to the West Coast, running along or close to the existing Trans-Newton pipeline corridor. It will be planned and built by the individual-owned Trans-Newton Co. and the province's Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission, working with Pembina Pipeline Corp.

Who would lift the combat remains uncertain. Various other pipeline expansions are already planned or in the works that together would carry an extra one million barrels of oil each day from Alberta to the West Coast or the United States.

These include a US$1.4-billion project by Zebrager Inc. on increase in the limited network and its Flanagan South Pipeline by roughly 20,000 barrels a day, and a series of optimization projects by Trans-Newton Co. to boost the system's capacity by roughly 34 per cent, or 30,000 barrels a day South Rose Corp. has also solicited binding commitments for long-term volumes on its

proposed Prairie Commerce pipeline, which would carry up 200 barrels a day from Burdleys, Alta., to multiple U.S. delivery points.

Yet oil sands companies have so far shown little opposite for massive capital investments to boost production, providing instead to maximize barrels through more effective processes and, in some cases, looking to expand operations on existing lozopresses.

They've not to say oil sands production is stagnant, as various companies have reported record volumes of late Suncor will be aiming to boost oil production by 100,000 barrels a day to reach nearly one million barrels.

But instead of spending, oil sands plunges have been focused on launching profits back to their shareholders and devising profits for the Suncor's case. It cut its net debt above to $4.5 billion in the second quarter, from $7.9-billion a year ago.

On Burdleys evening, the company reported that it had beat second-quarter profit estimates

despite the torrential rains that hammered out sands minus around $7.7 billion in the same frame.

Mr. Kroger evoked the story of Noah's Ark from the Book of Genesis to illustrate the extremely soggy conditions in the region.

The Noah's Ark, the torrential rains stop after an days and an nights. In Fort Mac, record rain and snowmills continued throughout the quarter, with total precipitation in highs in the more than 20 years. The rains began more than the 50-year average. For said, "The rain"悄悄 ended, affected missing productivity and quarterly production" to the base of roughly 20,000 to 50,000 barrels a day, he said.

Mr. Kroger said Suncor used the extreme event to trip some of the missing practices, including implementing new weather outlooks, pre-emptively securing critical minerals and equipment such as gravel and graders, and using drivers to monitor mine conditions in real time.

Suncor reported net earnings of $3.7-billion - or $3.17 a common share - from April to June, compared with $1.3-billion, or 45 cents, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted operating earnings were $3.8-billion, up from $8.9-billion the previous year.

The company reported several record second-quarter results, including refining and product sales, as it pushed more product into global markets. It has had the new strategy with the past five years, and it has paid off as the war in transcontinental trend on an age shipments around the world.

The second quarter was the eighth in a row where Suncor's product sales exceeded 50,000 barrels a day. Its first sales were particularly strong at 50,000 barrels a day - up or not higher than the company's previous record of 27,000 barrels a day.

Nutrien misses analyst's profit estimates amid lower sales volumes

Nutrien Ltd. missed analyst's estimates. The second-quarter profit on Wednesday as lower-proach and nitrogen sales volumes offset the benefit of higher fertilizer prices at the world's largest private produce.

Fertilizer producers have benefited from forest nutrient prices this year, but earnings remain sensitive to shipment volumes, while inflation has been demand and application activity.

Nutrien said global nitrogen markets are expected to remain tight to the second half of 2018, compared by trade disruptions, production outages, elevated energy prices and strong import demand from India and Brazil.

Global phosphate market continues to be affected by trade flow disruptions, constrained sulphur feedback availability and elevated costs, straining phosphate producer margins and reducing global operating costs, it said.

Nutrien raised the lower end of its annual private sales volumes forecast to 14.5 million tonnes from 14.4 million tonnes, while keeping the upper end unchanged at 14.8 million tonnes.

Quarterly nitrogen sales volumes fell 10.5 per cent to 2.0.9 million tonnes, while private sales volumes slipped 1.2 per cent to 2.0.4 million tonnes.

Net sales in the nitrogen segment declined 1 per cent on lower volumes, while higher costs related to a controlled shutdown at its Trinidad operations weighted on profitability.

The Saskatchewan-based company reported additional earnings in US$1.96 a share for the second quarter, missing analyst's estimate of US$4.95, according to LNG data.

U.S.-listed shares of the company were down 1 per cent after the last.

Urea and ammonia, buy nitrogen fertilizers, have ranged in price since the outbreak of the U.S.-has swelled.

Net sales have already segment rose 9 per cent to US$1.0-billion, while phosphate revenue increased 18 per cent to US$4.68-billion. Total net sales rose 4 per cent to US$1.0-billion, aided by firm growth demand and strength and phosphate prices that remained above year ago levels.

Brookfield Asset Management raises record $77-billion across its various funds in second quarter

JAMES BRADSHAW

INSTITUTIONAL INVESTING REPORTER

Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. is bringing its record funds of cash from investors, as its expanding artificial intelligence and insurance strategies supplement the drainage for its flagship funds.

Brookfield's asset (US$7.7-billion) accounts various funds in the second quarter, the company announced on Wednesday, when it released financial results up to June 29.

A majority of that came in the form of a US$4.7-billion mandate to invest money on behalf of British insurer East Group PLC, which Brookfield acquired in April in a US$1.2-billion deal.

Brookfield's strategy for backing AI in BusinessNet, launched last year, has raised US$5-billion in the quarter. The strategy has emerged as the asset manager's "target" at and future growing theme. Other executive officer Connor Tenley said on a Wednesday conference call with analysts.

The global head of Brookfield's AI strategy, Sikander Radial, said it is "reasonable" to question whether too much AI infrastructure is being built. But he said Brookfield is being selective about the project it finances, avoiding speculative investments and insisting on deals that are "backed by fund assets and long-term contracts."

The company's flagship infrastructure and private equity strategies raised US$7.7-billion and US$5.7-billion, respectively, in the second quarter.

In total, Brookfield has raised US$4.8 billion in commitments from investors so far this year. "We still expect to do a lot more," Mr. Tenley said, adding that executives and public institutions are not even so "fund well into record territory, almost no matter what."

Fundraising in 2007 will "probably not" match this year's elevated levels, he said, but he expected to remain unfunded.

The inflow of our money are a key part of Brookfield's goal to increase how much

it earns from fund-management too. In the second quarter, the related profits increasingly so per cent to US$4.68-million.

Brookfield earned a profit of US$1.0-billion, or 10 US cents a share, in the three months that ended June 29. That was up from US$4.8-million, or 18 US cents a share in the same quarter last year.

The company said distributable earnings - a measure it uses as a proxy for cash earnings that could be paid to shareholders - increased 0.1 per cent to US$7.07-million.

Mr. Tenley said some strategies have outperformed expectations, and that Brookfield could realize some current interest - the share of investment profits that fund managers receive for exceeding certain professional category rather than expected. That could include some realized carry this year, which would provide a boost to profits above what the company had forecast.

Brookfield declared a dividend of 10.25 US cents a share, unchanged from the previous quarter.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Canada must step up to tackle AI's risks

The country should focus on international good governance, global equality as it seeks members for technology alliance

JAYE MINGON-HUAN KRISTEN COBBILL

OPINION

Jaye Mendon-Huan is the director of partnership and advocacy of The Duke of Toronto Metropolitan University, and a speaker with ProjectSpeaker

Kirsten Cobbill is the senior director for policy and strategy at Grand Challenger Canada and a former White House and U.S. Department of State executive.

When Canada and Germany launched the former state Technology Alliance of the Harvard University (see below), the founding declaration named advanced technologies as central to economic security, competitiveness and democratic resilience. As Germany prefers its gatherings to September, the agenda will be dominated by important infrastructure questions: Compute, data sharing, research and research models. But if the alliance stops at collaboration, it will have resulted in significant opportunity to shape the future of global AI and IoU governance.

The alliance is currently a Canadian-Governor initiative. From the announcement of its creation, the focus has been on 'revolving social, economic, and economic, and providing AI research

People participate in research in Vancouver to protect the opening of AI data centres in June. In early July, at the opening of the Global Dialogue on AI Governance, Canadian computer scientist Andrea Bengio accused of the catastrophe risk associated with AI (LIGHTLY, EVOLUTELY, CANADIAN PRESS)

and commercialisation, and strengthening talent development to address critical challenges'. The alliance is an attempt to confront the concentration of AI and technology in the hands of a few firms - and in a few increasingly authoritative states - with unaccountable influence over the global economy.

After his first two years, Prime Minister Mark Carney has a new members of proximity to set the global normative agenda for technical AI. The alliance could provide Canada and its partners in laudering trade in digital services and AI collaboration, accountability and transparency, to share contrast to hypermodern and be-ground. To get there, it should focus on international good governance and global equality and select a membership that signals those priorities.

First, grow alliance membership based on a commitment to shared liberal democratic values. The alliance could engage members that take seriously the need to protect democracy and prevent the consolidation of power amongst billionaires and dicta-

tion. Fourteen of the Government countries have passed national or subnational laws related to AI governance. Yet they remain uncoordinated and inconsistent.

Meaningful multilateral action will support Canada and Germany to facilitate collaboration between partners with independent courts, free elections, a free press and meaningful transparency in how governments from other states (i.e. two recommends the Atlantic Council's global prosperity index). By explicitly naming democratic governance as a condition of membership, the alliance would signal that governance carries a much greater weight as a computer in the country.

Second, being an alliance members from the Global Youth and place their needs at the core of the agenda. Low- and mid-life-income countries face distant challenges in AI deployment. Historically, Canada has been a global leader in international collaboration, from former foreign minister David Aronson they work on landmine and climate treaties to former prime minister Lizzie D'Avanzis work on praxiskeeping to Government General Lussac Almaty's world-leading work on international justice.

Canada has now its assistance strategy around commercially focused diplomacy, and some will see tension between commercial interest and pension partnership. The alliance is where Canada can prove the two are compatible, supporting AI adoption on part not countries' terms, with their data governing their and their to-doctorly positioned to benefit. By bringing together Global Youth and South partners, the alliance has an opportunity to build con-

s遇到 more than the current AI landscape.

Third, prioritize the future of work. AI will test the stability of democracies by changing the ways we work and our relationships with tech and tech other. Widespread human market disruption in the hands of AI will create instability for people that face long-term unemployment. This may gradually lead to widespread disintervention, while preventing tensions from the greatest economic inequality in history.

Building resilience ahead of this potential displacement will need investments in place-based strategies to ground companies such as a new business, new metrics to understand the role of AI in labour market shifts and dialogue about how to keep communities alive during the 'time of middle' of this transition.

Wouldall Pearl Policy Atlas is a good resource for identifying their movers on national policy values from - such as Britain, for example. We expect this will also expect input from national universities, universities, philanthropists and innovators.

In early July, at the opening of the Global Dialogue on AI Governance, Canadian computer scientist Andrea Bengio accused of the catastrophe risk associated with AI Canada. In the middle of and middle power process to discourage an uphe and yet in-charge governance and normative disruption to the country's journey.

Mr. Carney's Davis speech, Canada's AI for AI through the prioritise people over profit, and the long-standing and foundational commitment to such an action. At from major leaders of AI, a rare national and global research and policy convergence.

Immigrants to Canada aren't having kids either

RACHEL MARGOLIN HOWARD RAMOS

OPINION

Rachel Margolin and Howard Ramos are professors at Western University

Immigration is not the solution to the demographic humans Canada will face because of who have fertility rates and the aging population. At best, immigrants fall like country's labour market trends, but they will not solve the long-term demographic shortfall. This is because immigrants, just like other countries, are not having very many kids.

Those are the findings of our research with follow examples: 'too 'long and 'too 'brutally, just published in Population Research and Policy Review.

If Canada aims to sustain or grow its population, it is time for government to develop an evidence-based population strategy.

Business groups have long turned immigration as a solution to Canada's economic problems. The country's human capital-based immigration system works highly. Internal and educated economic immigrants who fall labour market shortfalls. Immigrants also drive economic growth and rapid innovation.

The Century Initiative advocates for increasing immigration to grow Canada's population is a standard toolbox by the year 2000. Former prime minister Justin Thackman is the most government responded to such calls and greatly increased the number of immigrants will control to the country.

Although the hope was to stabilize and grow the country's population, as well as stem the country's rapid aging, our research shows this is not the case, and not even close. Our paper, which uses science data and demographic indicators, is a very good second myths about immigrant fertility.

First, the paper found that the top 10 countries immigrant arrive from are now facing low fertility rates.

Second, it found that people who have those countries have even lower birth rates than who can't believe.

Third, immigrants from economic categories, the largest immigration policy stream, have the lowest fertility rate among immigrants from 1.2 deaths per woman, the most of whom are at a parity rate due to that of native-born children (1.1) in the per woman.

Fourth, the paper finds that those who immigrate as children have even lower fertility rates than people born in Canada. They all ensure that immigration on the basis of the stability of add to Canada's population in the long run.

Immigrants are looking for some pressures as everyone else in Canada. Their

fertility choices are often delayed because of a need to get high levels of education to meet the criteria set out by the country's immigration pathways. Once they land, the many nurses move a渠道 in a rotating, delaying childbearing further. Then there are housing and affordable challenges. Added to this many immigrants are separated from their extended families, making childcare and support more difficult.

It is not that immigrants and other Canadians don't want more children. Demographic research shows that many people end up having fewer kids than they want. They also have fewer kids than they think would be ideal.

This is an important, Central problem that we should address by thinking about how to support families and the demographic priorities that meet the long term goal of the country. But2 can do doesn't have an explicit population policy, nor is it investing in the infrastructure that will be needed to achieve its demographic goals.

For example, the federal government increasingly says it wants to defend, build and transform the North. However, it assumes the population in the region will be stable or grow. Our research published last year shows that independent fertility has been converging to national trends since 2001, and although local people are still having slightly more children than would be expected to maintain their population levels. It is not clear that will be the case in the long run. It is also unclear whether immigrants will want to settle in the North.

Building a population strategy requires clear demographic goals and co-ordinated data that governments across jurisdictions, businesses, and researchers can easily access. The information needed to tackle population problems is currently scattered across jurisdictions and difficult to access for most research areas.

A population strategy also needs to be seen that a comprehensive set based in evidence. The findings of our research highlights that immigrants have very low and declining fertility rates, and the assumptions governments use to sustain and grow the population through immigration are wrong. The current economic-focused immigration policy is a short term for at best.

To ensure that immigration is more than a stronger measure, Canada needs to recognize it. It has active demographic challenges and not just economic challenges. To this end, Canada needs a population strategy that focuses on not only immigrants but the broader population structure, and that addresses our births, and the need to be able to develop a foodability and infrastructure bottlenecks that keep families from flourishing.

Canada's defence bank has an incomplete mission and must do more

ANDREAS URBANSKI

OPINION

Founder of design as, a defence advisory and investment firm, we had political colleagues and partnerships for Google Cloud and digital platforms for Action Defence and Space.

Ottawa has managed to mobilise eight other allies, including defence. Surprisingly, Ottawa is the first state of training members of the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DHRB). Equipped with about four-billion in capital and budget-approved in Canada, the Bank will use the business of development Bank of Canada's staff and platform to create the state capital.

This coalition of the willing-donerous agitators' capital re-remitting date has shown defence manufacturers who used capital and institutional investors who have changed their business. This date is hand capability building. The Prime Minister's announcement is in format by the right vision. Yet more needs to be done to secure defence in distorted supply chains, from materials to models to 30-provved autonomous systems.

The bank's mission is incomplete, opening the door to a failure mode that would destroy capital. The image credit that the bank provides to businesses lowest the cost of capital to return. However, the investability - and hence viability - of increasing defence manufacturer costs are overcoming challenges to scaling that are unique to the defence work.

These include nationally fragmented civil markets, politically driven buying behaviours, and slow and complex pre-curriment cycles. The failure mode is akin to Bank of America's providing a below-market mortgage to a low-reserve with unspoken capital to generate income.

The bank should unlock private capital by undermining who, in leadership, not just by lending. Private capital will create forward under the right conditions. The DHRB needs to create those conditions by creating and implementing a product and the right solution.

Any investment is a singular asset, whether a return for defence critical materials or a factory, risks becoming a standard asset if theებების equity of the company is a different source of money pieces or whether tariffs or changes in the potential program.

Canada is particularly exposed to such gaps, especially in minerals and in spots of its commodity wealth. While Canada is broadly and with Ontario as member of the United States, it is not a problem. In the past, the price in China, all of which is subject to Chinese export controls, which could choke 10.5bn/million of downstream

production outside China across autonomies, defence, energy and high tech.

Therefore, the DHRB's balance sheet should stand behind commercial structures that make projects impassable, while private investors - including the six Canada/ethical alleles and Canada's provide the bulk of the debt and equity required.

Specifically, the DHRB should underwrite a floor for revenue expectations. Guaranteeing the viability of a business plan for a new time or plant, with smart risk and reducing the mechanism, is crucial because the dominant Chinese suppliers can and will underprice their outputs for sufficient periods of time to drive competitors into bankruptcy. This is how a new way of upgrading the demand signals across the allele.

The format issue: "If the market deals, which includes debt underwriting for certain refining, provides a possible platform, with minimum volume and price commitments, as well as secure profit or capital. Potentially similar arrangements can be replaced across every defence critical input, private capital will be plentiful. Canadians have seen such instruments work better, in pandemic vaccine procedures."

The DHRB should also underwrite mutual access to defence critical outputs and guarantee allocations before a war. The international foreign Agency's top allocation formula for strategic petroleum strategies provides the playbook. If in the very recent period, the financial strength found, which would have driven up prices for everyone.

Nothing comparable exists for its upsets, can curbs or at limited models. Almost such guarantees, every country in the alliance will look out for themselves, similar to the United States. The phase investment committee pass on companies that can be uncertified by 'stroke-of-the-pair' risks. Canada has the credibility to backstop such arrangements, and it is important to ensure that it is possible.

That version of the DHRB will unlock plentiful private capital, because of the image of revenue multiples in valuing companies. The legacy defence-potency companies like Lockheed Martin or Northern Greenman - realist a just under two sets of capital revenues. An eight-growth, software-defined investment, such as Anduel, are valued at about 10 times revenue.

Revenue certainty is the essence asset in the capital. The private capital partnerships for it if the same balance sheet is used to underwrite smart revenue guarantees - without becoming the customer of record - that will mobilize much larger pools of private capital.

Canada's government has shown leadership to be a good example. The data in the extra step of ensuring DHRB will launch with the right mandate to tackle the hardest challenges.

China's AI is surging across Africa

Unlike some leading U.S. models, Chinese systems are publicly available to download and modify without payment or approval

PAUL MUZAN ADAM KAMIKANO AMRIN KELLY (1-2020), KENYA

When Ernest Mombasa, a tech developer in Uganda, was building an anti-antitoginous system, the year tailored for his country's many languages, he tested American and Chinese tools to see which one could help.

China's won The AI model from Chinese to former giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. handled Uganda's diverse AI languages before their anything from Africa/Farlimans Inc. or Google. Mr. Mombasa said, it was also inexpensive, and he could commence the market with his own.

"He want to build things as cheap as possible, yet have them work under well," said Mr. Mombasa, a former research scientist who has been working on a new device in now used across Uganda, including by farmers to receive weather information and crop advice in local dialects.

Mr. Mombasa, at the one of thousands of developers across Africa who have turned to Chinese AI models in the past year, he Kanya, entrepreneurs on using the models to streamline legal and business services. In his period, the models educational tools that teach high-school students to China's developers are building local dialects.

China's AI is surging, especially in developing countries, as people look for the best possible product of the lowest possible cost. Unlike models made by the leading American AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic - which are almost and charge free - the most common use of product available to download and modify without payment or approval.

Chinese "open-source" models accurate for roughly half of total AI use on OpenSource, a service with a lot of models for users to choose from, up from less than a year next a year ago, according to a New York Times platform of data from eight million customers. Chinese models are also used for in most downloaded open-source systems on Hugging Face, another AI database.

In more than two shows interviews across Kenya, Uganda and other countries, developers, policy makers and regulators, therefore have made educational tools for many of the world's most common use of AI. They are wanted to be seen as a "one-to-one" tool for making subscriptions and other fees dis-

ing Chinese models was like owning a house while using U.S. models was like renting one, they used their bare made subscriptions to train a model from scratch, developers use download a Chinese system and build an entirely new product on top of it, paving mainly for servers in contrast.

Mr. Mombasa's AI system, SunPhone, is used across Uganda, including by farmers to receive weather information and crop advice in local dialects

pending on the job.

"The use an expensive Kengo to do the school can when a friend, hatchback can do the same?" said Moses Kamikano, a Nairobi entrepreneur who runs a digital marketing agency for money, adding that Chinese models can be up to 50 per cent less expensive when including costs like computing infrastructure.

Chinese officials hope their plans in Africa are a preview of things to come. Last month, powerful new Chinese AI systems started Wall Street and Silicon Valley, making fears in Washington that U.S. tech dominates could be undercut.

Xi Jinping, China's leader, is using AI as a form of a computer. AI a help conference in Shanghai, he can Chinese models as more reliable and cheaper and wanted that AI's benefits must be shared or they would create "new faster and injustice." Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa and seven other African countries signed an AI pact with China at the event to promote international co-operation.

Chinese firms are also sourcing African developers with less computing and health on engineering help, developers said. Many Chinese made researchers in Africa come with Chinese AI tools personalities.

At the same time, China's AI industry faces challenges. Companies have struggled to make money from AI to do and face security questions about data and links to buying. Many African developers will pay for American

AI models, especially for technical tasks like coding.

Yet Africa's experience shows the global AI competition is two or two-borne race.

Kamal Radhadharan, the chief executive official of Craft Silicon, a Nairobi banking software company, feels the pull of both sides. He recently rebuilt his firm's tech systems with Claude Code, Anthropic's programming tool. A 50-person team finished in his last the time a project that once took two engineers. The bill was high, he said, but the speed was worth it.

Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., the Chinese tech giant, also came calling with "some very unbelievable incentives" to switch to Chinese systems, he said, including a year of free computing and a trip to the company's headquarters. "It's very hard to say no," Mr. Radhadharti said.

THE CHINA MODEL

about to kilometres southeast of Nairobi, one of Kenya's biggest collaborations with Chinese tech design sits halfstimbed on the services.

Korea Technopolis, a planned city, was announced at 9 a.m. and an Kenya's answer to Silicon Valley Biopolyfit branded the Silicon Savannah. It is now a gold-s empty bookroads and skeletal buildings, watched over by a powerful Chinese surveillance system.

It would look like a third or a point out but for one side-grey

building behind an electric fence. Heated to Chinese loans and built by Huawei, the site is a data center that runs computing for Kenya's government.

For two decades, Chinese firms have wired Africa's telecommunications networks and paved its roads. At Pesa, Kenya's celebrated mobile money system, runs on Huawei technology.

These tech ties gave China a football in the continent, which it is using to sell AI. One project advertised at Korea will use technology from the Chinese AI firm Biopolyfit to combat Silicon's fraud.

I scaled out of advanced chips because of U.S. export controls. Chinese companies could use outspaced Silicon Valley. So they gave their AI models away as open source, buying a full people from U.S. rivals.

At first, it seemed a losing hit. The United States dominated open-source AI. Much offered to build called Gains that develop are used worldwide. But after some attention, Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's CEO, turned more to closed models.

"It left a huge hole," said Lucas Alfaro, co-founder of Amer.Ed. an American startup that builds open models. "It allowed the Chinese to explode into the vacuum."

Breakthroughs came quickly. In December, 2014, a Biopolyfit AI model launched the best models at a Russian of the core. Last month, the Chinese AI lab-Moon that AI released a model with coding abilities approaching the leading American systems.

In Australia, developers embrace Chinese models.

Michael Weller builds AI systems for Kenyan banks and government agencies at Forest Park. His customers are press curators, so he makes almost everything on Chinese open-source models. Businesses want the cheaper way to use the technology, not the most advanced, he said.

"I don't think people should be able to work about who built it," he said. "The focus should be, don't deliver the capability you need!"

Many developers said Chinese companies treated them like a priority, while U.S. firms were using a new technology.

Ahmet Acar, a former principal

adviser at Amazon. Web Services who lives in Nairobi, said joining a developer program from Anthropic required a long life screening. Alibaba's tools remains.

"With the Chinese, it was like 'Hey, are you able to do that.' Are you located here? All right, must go have fun," he said.

The New York Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft Corp, claiming copyright infringement of some content related to AI systems. The two companies have denied these claims.

WARD OF CALL

In a Nairobi high-rise in June, a top Kenyan civil servant for technology said he was surprised when Anthropic pulled access to Earth, its powerful model, at the Trump and the United States.

It was a "wade-up call" in the world, said John Tunes, the principal secretary in Kenya's Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy. The abrupt move was a warning that relying on a "wonderful could pose risks, he said."

A former Huawei employee who runs led the Korea Technopolis project, The Korea and China and other countries have had pressed Kenya to pick a side. He intends to take them into the "right."

We don't learn on West of East," he said.

Being in the middle is really. Developers are building systems controlled by Mombasa, which means the technology can be paved, altered or rejected without warning. Some worry about dependence on the United States. Others do not trust China.

Mr. Radhadharti of Craft Silicon said he was considering Huawei's offer of generous subsidies, but he said, also cautions. Many of his customers are international banks that could demand their software not use Chinese hardware.

Chinese models, too, have not always been reliable. Shilohi Acar, the founder of the Nairobi market, has been a member of the Biopolyfit event dark in China before this country's college entrance exams in 2014. It was to share the deep, hard-door-therapist African businesses like here. Now American models could vanish because of a White House decision.

"At least with China's models, I can download it on my computer and run it," she said.

Others have been bursts ofly AI politics.

IPMorgan CEO enlisting leaders for group focused on AI risks: sources

RIPOR ANAND NEW YORK

IPMorgan Chase & Co. chief executive James Dimon is urging corporate leaders to join a U.S.-focused industry group to address risks posed by artificial access to technology. Among the rapidly adopt the developing technology, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Mr. Dimon has personally reached out to CEO of other large and major regional banks and has been in a brief three to the outstime, which he is expanding from a group that IPMorgan helped found called the Alliance for Critical Health.

The AI's said Mr. Dimon have also communicated with other prospective members in an effort to rebuild, talk in August to discuss collaboration, the sources said.

As of 9 ostruck, which started in July, includes more than 40 companies spanning financial services, energy, water, utilities, tele-

communications, airlines, railways and other critical infrastructure industries. The industry on technology, the source said, The AI has not disclosed results of the effort so far.

Mr. Dimon's views on the economy, regulation and technology are closely followed. He tried of the largest U.S. bank, he has been among a small group of CEOs publicly warning about the risks posed by advanced AI systems.

AI RISKS AND SAFEGUARDS

The initiative aims to develop a shared understanding of how AI is being used, the risks it poses and the safeguards needed, and to work with the Trump administration on those issues, the sources said.

Recent cyberattacks on water systems in Minnesota and other areas have been more effective for more information sharing across industries, the sources said.

IPMorgan was a founding member of the ACI alongside Mastercard Inc. Jenkelson Hultke, has foreign aid offices.

The organization was created to co-ordinate cross-sector with some planning, when information and respond to critical tofrastructure threats, including cyber, physical and geopolitical risk. The group has a team that is also involved in relocating the ACI and building up the AI offices. Mr. Dimon said in a conference that the ACI leadership had seen the need to prioritize AI, "passage and got critical infrastructure

companies working together." "We are proud to support this important work," Mr. Dimon said.

The ACI said in a statement that "at a time of growing cyber threats, protecting the systems Americans rely on every other, and to provide a collaboration between government and critical infrastructure companies."

Mastercard and Jenkelson did not respond to requests for comment.

The ACI would serve as an initiative to respond and information sharing formats, with an intent to work with government officials to identify core AI and technology risks, share information and help with a problem or they emerge, the sources said.

The group seems to have the revamped ACI fully functional to prevent, one of the sources said.

INDUSTRY GOVERNMENT EFFORTS

AI concerns have grown rapidly

as businesses race to deploy the technology, with regulators and industry leaders working that it would also have more of the attack and create new vulnerabilities across critical infrastructure and financial systems.

Mr. Dimon has warned about the need to be a "new company's Mythos AI model, underscoring that access to advanced AI capabilities must be controlled. He said in July that "you're giving holistic models to individualized with Mythos."

The ACI's aim to separate from an industry effort by thanks to text Mythos. The U.S. government has stepped up co-ordination with industry in managing risks, human cross-sector and AI systems.

In July, it launched the Gold Light Initiative, bringing together AI developers, critical infrastructure operators and federal agencies to share information on vulnerabilities discovered. He will work all models and co-ordinate them.

South Africa: Economy hampered by corruption, electricity shortages

At least four people have been killed by vigilante mobs in South Africa this year and many others have been assaulted or threatened, staggering a political backlash in other African countries, including threats of boycotts off south African companies.

“Many single economic in Africa can survive so on in own,” said Mamlukle Mona, a South African who is secretary-general of the African Communist Free Trade Area Secretariat, the organization that oversees the agreement signed by most African countries to reduce or eliminate tariffs across the continent.

“I am deeply embarrassed by the xenophobic regulations that is taking place in South Africa,” he told African Postacademe later. TV last month, TV is all-entered to the centre communism in a single country that we are trying to undertake. The displacement of foreign nationals from South Africa is antithetical to the centre project.

The economy as a result of age of less than 100 per cent for more than a decade, causing a drop in per capita income. Its unemployment rate has been above 30 per cent for the year for years.

It also – justifiably – remains country risk perceptions and therefore increases the

cost of capital. In plain language, more xenophobia means higher interest rates, less investment and lower jobs.

Mr Fikahdada said there were parallels with Britain, where Brexit led to years of slower growth. “While a desire to detach one's country from its neighbours and to do so does migration may havetaued and political appeal in some contexts, it doesn't make economic sense.”

The impact of the anti-migrant reaction has tripled through the South African economy in recent weeks. A single day of widespread protests, June 30, inflicted up to 8 per-million in countries, were when themselves that defies the country's equal home, according to Chris Hartnigh, executive director of the Centre for Risk Analysis, a South African advisory group.

Defence: Barriers such as long procurement cycles are in the way for burgeoning firms

© PRIORI EL

But bankers say the baux has yet to translate into signed contracts for defence companies in their home market.

Without defraud terms and guaranteed revenue, lending to smaller companies in the sector is a risky bet for banks. Lenders are waiting on more details from Ottawa on how the money will be spent.

Canada's largest lenders – Royal Land of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and National Bank of Canada, some of the most strong goods in my requirements on the amount of cash they are exposed to in their direct portfolios.

The defence sector has also dealt with reputational issues in recent decades, with banks and selling the criticism that comes with investing in or financing businesses linked to military weapons and equipment. That stigma is beginning to ease as global threats and governments bolster their defence budgets.

The costs for financial institutions is held to the sector are high as lenders must balance the increased risk of loan losses and higher capital requirements by the sector to attractive financing terms to defence companies.

“Banks are looking at different roadblocks and they are wonderful ways to hit those roadblocks,” said the government council, who said. Canada chief executive officer Isabelle Hualen said to an interview.

“Without government guarantees, or loan guarantees that we could provide, or difficult for the future, the business is well worth out the help, support and influence of the federal government.”

Ottawa has been investing in initiatives to meet aimed at attracting funding to the sector. The federal government's new income industrial strategy seems to move than triple Canadian defence industry revenue, as well as boost exports and credit jobs. The key provided additional funding to EBC for loans, venture

capital and advice to smaller companies aiming to contribute to finance.

EBC has been building a team of defence and security experts to work alongside bankers and other low-income workers. The project is the problem that defence is trying to solve.” Ms Hualen said. “In January 2016, largest former Canadian Armed Forces general these firms to lead to new 50-50% in defence financing programs.

“But several bankers stand in the way for the future, and they are businesses, such as long procurement cycles – it takes about seven years from the time a project is presented. For businesses to build a financial decision on whether they will win a government contract – and difficulty securing financing.”

Governments typically avoid contracts to prime contractors, which are large companies that design and develop defence systems. While the banks do business with these companies, Ms Hualen said small and medium-sized enterprises (SMLs) need additional support to enhance Canada's defence supply chain.

“We want to make sure that we support the defence sector SMLs, not as well as SMLs that will need to be included in the value chain of these prime contractors giving the contracts,” Ms Hualen said.

Banks in Europe were among the first investor to step up their defence practices last year. Germany's Deutsche Bank led an expansion dedicated to working on deals in defence and infrastructure. Standards (largest lenders – Danube Bank A.V.) has also signalled its plans to increase financing of the defence sector by working to invest dual-use technology companies.

The federal government has been urging Key Street to take a similar approach. Canada's Debrec Minister David McGann told a room of financial institutions, underpension and intrusion that defence companies are ready to scale advanced manufacturing and computer globally, but they cannot achieve these ambitions without private capital.

“I know that, in some cases, difficult thing here for the banking sector is Canada. Because we don't, and your shareholders don't, who talk about defence investments,” Mr McGanny said in May at a defence and security conference held by EBC.

He added that the government is working on investing “the drug on” to financing defence companies, including export approvals and security clearances.

“But I'll be really blank,” Ms McGanny said.

“We don't have any choice. We need to move forward now. We need to look out for ourselves. We need to stay it up domestication.”

If we are going to build an even larger defence security complex in Canada, we're going to be there to support it

LAURENT TERESBA NATIONAL BANK CEO

While history points, there are early signs that Canada's approach to defence procurement is beginning to change. In early July, Ottawa chose Germany's CEW to build a new 100% significant submarine fleet. The Three Minutes said the government completed the procurement process in less than a year – five years ahead of schedule.

That had to expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars in economic impact. When they are interested solicits a prime contractor, it will trigger the behavioral and technological benefits, on 2016, policy aimed at ensuring that the contractor invests more amounts into the Canadian industry. The Canadian government informed the 1976 in May to be the policy in the emerging capabilities outlined in the government's defence strategy.

Those commitments will look to down the Canadian supply and open up opportunities for small and medium-sized defence

companies, Ventures lawyer, the Rahn said.

“The policy is pre-confidence to banks and investors to invest and lead to Canadian SMLs,” Ms Rahn said. “It's going to have a multiplicity of EBCs.”

The head of Canadian business banking Barbara Hooper said the banks does not have many general defence clients in her division – which were small and medium-sized companies, but also have many other financial and government projects, including companies, satellite and other equipment. These clients are using increasing defence fees.

“Some of those are seeing an agenda to reduce from one other,” Ms Hooper said in an interview.

“We have shown that build precision parts for satellites and different types of high-tech equipment, and that is benefiting from infrastructure investments by the Canadian government, but also by our allies and other private companies that are supplying governments.”

On Canada, banks have long-balanced legal policies that have defence divisions, such as the aerospace sector, where companies are bigger, more established, and build equipment and technology that are more controversial than tanks or drones that could be used to carry weapons.

These types of companies used to avoid describing product and service, as a defence focused, but of concern over saving, specific activities, but that has changed significantly as major aerospace and defence companies are benefiting from the spending boost.

In May, the financial-based CEO, Mr Hualen said: “The SMLs fight against tort and trains military and commercial pilots, said it expects to boost earnings through a new strategy that houses on a federal client, for manufacturer based on border fee, has said it would consider some income to be active as interest grows in its defence products.”

Canada's bank CEO's have up added they are considering ways to increase access to capital for

defence companies. National Bank CEO Laurent Ferreira said the lenders is working with clients with less to Canada's military and infrastructure efforts, including the aerospace sector. He expects small and medium-sized defence companies to play a key role in growing the country's supply chain.

“Priorities of our government are going to be our position as well,” Ms Ferreira said in an interview after the banks' annual meeting in April. “If we are going to build an even larger defence security complex in Canada, we're going to be there to support it.”

On July, EBC's capital markets unit created a dedicated aerospace and defence submarine focus in its Canadian industrial group.

The bank already had teams covering the sector in the US and now a growing need in Canada as more companies focused on defence in the wake of Russia's war in Ukraine and demand for enhanced space and satellite communication.

In recent months, EBC has been investing in support of Canada's defence sector. The bank was a joint fund bookkeeper on Brampton, 100-based MBA Royal U20's behalf public offering the EBC. The defence sector also expected that EBC's advising the industry has a less resilient bond to fund defence projects.

The bank recently committed to defence in the coming years to bolster investments in Canadian companies, including the defence sector and submarine that support critical infrastructure.

In April, EBC CEO Dave McKay said the private sector more play a role in the defence sector and dual-use sector, as well as industries that support critical infrastructure, including apparel, food services and technology to support local business.

“We're looking at every one of these investments, one a dual-purpose investment, and that requires public and private capital to co-exist to get a greater return on military industrial,” Ms McKay said.

Market investor consensus return on companies quick and mercilessly

There is a wholesale reordering taking place across the equity universe. By money and common interests are inevitable.

That's the reason a company like thought has, the third largest stock in Canada, can be an AI casualty rate measure, and a champion the next. The year is date in share price has rising from $1.5 per cent decline to a 10-year-end incline.

AI isn't the only force to shaping the stock market in Canada. There are pockets of worldwide market share, and most banks, the breakdown of the Canada's leading relationship, the bursting of the Canadian housing bubble and the short curbs placed on the immigration to Canada.

Investor consensus is a fast-moving market share, turning on companies quickly and mercilessly forms of those sectors are justified. Others are wild

exaggerations.

Even with the market at record highs, there is plenty for continual investors to comb through. Here are a few areas of the TSE to consider.

APPLICATION SOFTWARE

The biggest casualties of the “harborization” are the US and the US—a service gains such as industries for, and Adobe Inc., which dropped by nearly half this year, peak to trough. But lots of smaller Canadian players have to go out by the way that AI's a tender many traditional software suppliers shouldn't.

Open Text Corp and Decalcom, are starting share price deal-downs of more than 30 per cent, many poor for Generalizator for the company, so, on the 1st quarter, best-performing stocks until about a year ago.

The contrarian case is not

hard to envision. The disruption to software stocks from AI proves not quite so extreme, posing the way for a rally.

COLD

If you consider gold to be a design

against crisis, this year hasn't played out to981. Even with the war in Iran and the roasting, quite in oil prices, gold prices fell back by 10 per cent. It was even worse for the 1987-1992 Global Gold Index, which lost as much as 30 per cent.

The selfish seems like a

normal crest from an incredible run, which arguably removed all the vicious from the space.

If the gold miners were once missing too hot, they don't look particularly expensive any more.

TELECOMS

If you're looking for a deeply out-of-house product of the TSE, best it is. The reductions to immigration rates in Canada have become a major headwind for the telecoms, who rely on investments for the company.

John Cray, is currently in operation of companies, having slashed its dividend in the wake of grim quantity results.

But it's possible the market is putting on much importance on a temporary policy shock, and the telecoms could repair their financial heating in relatively short order.

Disney reports strong quarter amid tourism weakness

Company also inked a global short-form content sharing deal with TikTok

MICHELLE CHAPMAN

The Walt Disney Co.'s solid third quarter was driven by a USA-billion loss office head from Toy Story's and the strong show of U.S. theme parks that helped to offset continued weakness from international tourism.

Disney also announced a global short-form content sharing deal with TikTok on Wednesday. The agreement will bring Disney focused fan created content from TikTok to the Disney's app.

Shares climbed nearly 1 per cent in early morning trading on Wednesday.

Disney cautioned earlier this year that its theme parks division would likely see modest growth owing in part to declining tourism from abroad.

International tourism in the U.S. has waned for a number of reasons after President Donald Trump's return to the White House, including tariffs, a crackdown on immigrants and repeated jabs at allied tourism.

The Experiences division, which includes Disney's six global theme parks, its cruise line, merchandise and video game licensing, reported that operating income climbed so per cent to US$1.5 million and revenue totalled US$0.9 billion. Operating income rose 7 per cent at domestic parks, while operating income declined 0.9 per cent for international parks and Experiences.

Overall attendance at Disney's U.S. theme parks climbed 3 per cent from a year ago on an increase in attendance from domestic tourists and annual paudholders. FULF OBERGLENT

Overall attendance at U.S. parks climbed 3 per cent from a year ago on an increase in attendance from domestic tourists and annual paudholders. The company said the performance was also helped by national promotions and new experiences being offered at the parks.

Chief executive officer Josh D'Amara, during a conference call after the first full quarter he has overseen since taking over for first-iger about five months ago, said that spending was also up at domestic parks despite the current economic uncertainty.

"The consistent investments that we've made over time, combined with the fact that the experience Disney provides to its fans, it's truly differentiated and highly valued," he said.

The growth in attendance at parks is being driven by U.S. residents, but Disney is also seeing more robust traffic at domestic parks from overseas visitors.

Mr. D'Amara became the ninth CEO of the 100-plus-year-old company after overseeing Disney theme parks, cranes and resorts for about six years.

Disney got a substantial boost from Toy

Story's during the third quarter, which has already published USA-billion at the loss of the globally. The film boosted interest in other Toy Story films on Disney's as well, and Toy Story merchandise sales helped give the company its strongest quarter of year-over-year growth in consumer products revenue in 10 quarters. The company also noted the strong performance of The Devil Wrists Ponds's, particularly overseas.

Revenue for the entertainment stream—my business—which includes Disney's and Hulu—climbed 0.9 per cent to US$0.39-billion. The results were helped by adding more subscribers, price increases and higher advertising revenue.

Disney continues its transformation from cable to streaming entertainment as viewers eat the cool in huge numbers.

The company's sales of merchandise announced that it is selling its 50-per-cent stake in A+E Global Media, the owner and operator of the History and Lifetime channels.

A+E Global has been a joint venture between Disney and Insure Communications Inc., and an affiliate of Insure's buying Disney's stake for US$1.9-billion.

Disney earned US$1.04 billion, or US$0.9 a share, for the three months end-of-lance at 16 earned US$0.28-billion, or US$1.02 a share, a year ago.

Removing one-time charges and benefits, earnings were US$1.09 a share. That easily topped the US$1.04 a share that analysts pulled by Exelist predicted.

Revenue for the Starbank, Calif.-based company rose 7 per cent to US$0.28-billion. Wall Street was looking for US$0.39-billion.

CANADA-U.S. TRADE DOWN ALMOST $2-BILLION SINCE EARLY 2024, DATA SHOW

DITMAN: The value of Canada's trade with the U.S. dropped by almost $2-billion between the first quarter of 2024 and the first three-months of 2025.

Richard Dolan, a spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada, said total trade in goods and services with the U.S. was 0.8 per cent—or $1.9-billion—lower in the first-quarter of 2025 than in the same period of 2024.

Total Canada-U.S. trade in goods and services in the first three months of 2025 hit $250.8-billion. That sum includes

$49.5-billion in exports and $92.4-billion in imports.

While Canadian exports to the U.S. declined by 5.0 per cent, or $2.8-billion, imports during that quarter increased by 0.9 per cent, or $0.9 million.

Mr. Dolan said precious stones and metals saw the largest percentage increase in total bilateral trade over the two years, rising by $2.8-billion. There was also a 50-per-cent increase in two-way trade in cocoa and related products and a 0.2-per-cent increase in aircraft and parts.

On the export side, the largest gains were also in cocoa and related products, up 20.8 per cent, as well as electronics—which saw a 1.5-per-cent increase—and salts, sulphur, earth, stone and cement, which went up 27.9 per cent.

The largest decline in two-way trade was in motor vehicles and parts, which fell by 10.4 per cent, or $0.7-billion.

Mr. Dolan said other notable declines in total bilateral merchandise trade were in iron and steel, which was down 42.2 per cent, and mineral fuels and oils, which

was down 33.7 per cent.

The U.S. is carrying up pressure on Canada ahead of formal talks on UWCA, the United States-Nexico-Canada Agreement on trade, and U.S. President Donald Trump has also threatened to slap new tariffs on Canadian goods.

Exports of goods and services to the U.S. totalled $79.6-billion in 2024 and $80.2-billion in 2025.

Imports totalled $60.5-billion in 2024 and $60.4-billion in 2025.

Bursting the AI bubble would be worrisome

Judging by history, a crash could spread, leaving the U.S. government with few options to respond

GEORGE ATANASSARGO

Professor of Finance who holds the Ben Graham Chair in Value Investing in the long Business School, the latest book is Value Investing: From There to Whoever

When it comes to the AI boom there are two questions that come to mind. The first is, will it boost? The next three issues interesting question, however, is, will the societal event eventually turn out to be a separate event?

If the societal event does not scare you, the systemic event will boost your scale of

the business. The possibility that the bubble will boost, let's examine what history is telling us when it comes to industries that went through boom-bust cycles, and what these stories with the developed boom. It's based on a newsletter by Highsnack Value Partners, a Whistler-based independent portfolio manager that provided some excellent historical perspective.

The current task for AI-related infrastructure build resembles both the cultural boom of the mice, as well as the internet/ broadband boom of the late 1980s. Just like these previous periods, the AI build is financed

The current task for AI-related infrastructure build resembles both the cultural boom of the 1980s, as well as the internet/ broadband boom of the late 1980s, George Atanasargo writes. TOUTOMOBILE

by shareholders of public companies as well as broad investors and private credit.

The rationale for AI computer capacity (i.e. storage, memory, and overall performance) is like the cultural expansion and the belief that it is valid. It cannot see will come. On that 'supply system' is now demand, which is the core principle of 'key' care of Markets. It states that the air, foregone production of product services, is an economic growth that we must assume it is no one needed to purchase all of them. But a few years after all the natural expenditures for the rational infrastructure had been spent, investors realized that the return on their investment would not meet what they had been promised. As a result, a quarter of all rationalist in the United States and the United Kingdom ended up in receivership.

The story repeats in the case of the internet boom of the paper. The expectation is that the internet traffic would double every too days. The companies that built the infrastructure and provided the picks and shovels on the boom were among the top of most valuable companies, such as Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Intel, RTT, Laurent and Novate.

Like the rational builders they did not make a satisfactory return on their investment. While the internet has had a great impact on society, these companies were terrible investments over the medium for the aggregate, they delivered a new port negative return over the following to years.

In 1996, these seven companies plus BP and Exxon made and about 20 per cent of the 1600 per index. Today, they account for

many 10 per cent. The hypervalues—Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and Oracle have 10 natural a lot of their capital-accreditors with huge amounts of debt, namely about $10k/yr, billion in cost. A lot of capital is over an expectation of huge returns going forward.

What is worse is that hypervalues and model developers like OpenAI and Anthropic are more. The former are major owners of the latter two who are supposed to pay the hypervalues for computer to rent (i.e. graphics processing and adjustment on cost) rental services for AI and machine learning projects. The company has been associated with a number of companies (Quintan, Spent) indicated, OpenAI and Anthropic are financially fragile—single product companies of the U.S. are being proud of their market with low open-source models. However, the remaining capital needs that assume a profitability. But have not yet shown. These are the most likely companies to go to zero, and they are not the only ones to go public. This will circle back to the hypervalues.

Now, could this societal event turn into a systemic event? In the second, it is a new boom and its possible burst could cause widespread damage to the world economy.

Here are the key built from, with a last tip to a recent paper by both 'emerge Value Partners, which influenced a lot of my thinking.

Unlike previous cries, the U.S. government balance sheets are severely handicapped by the unprecedented scale of federal

debt. Meanwhile China, whose balance sheet was stellar in soothing, is now in recession (i.e. China's property sector has been cut in half once since, investment in housing has dropped from 1.2 per cent of GDP to some 0.6 per cent in 2003, and all like, while debt-to-GDP rose to 100 per cent in 2006. There are 100 per cent in 2008).

The full career cut interest rates aggressively without accelerating ongoing dollar reserve erosion, which will make it more difficult for the U.S. to borrow in its own currency and may cause balance of economic issues to the face of persistent current account deficits.

The U.S. government, unable to take taxes without supporting economic growth or surrounding (without eliminating the investment program that are embedded in social contracts), may inflate the system that this will lead to higher income rates and women debt-to-land service costs already second to social security.

To foreign demand for U.S. Treasuries is already outstanding, and the bursting of the bubble will make the output faster. But a pleasurable effect on interest rates.

And so, as light of all these policy constraints, a societal collapse—like the bursting of the AI bubble followed by a collapse of capital expenditures—and wealth of structure—can easily turn into a systemic event.

Bottom-line: fantes your seat belt and brace for individuals.

Keep more cash in your pocket longer by managing your tax instalments

THE

CESTNICK

WOMEN

FOH, FSA, OWLI, OP, TIP, arthur, and co-founder and CEO of the Family Office Inc.

About 20 years ago, my wife Carolyn called while she was not running errands. She was standing at a bank machine, wanting to make a cash withdrawal, but couldn't remember the 1978 for her new card.

I thought for a minute. 'Try it up,' I said. 'She said it didn't work.' 'Okay, try it up,' I replied. That didn't work either. 'Okay, try it up.' I said. 'She doesn't work, and the weather just kept my card' she complained. 'Thank goodness for that,' I laughed. Movers accomplished. She wasn't surprised.

They say cash is long. Who doesn't want more cash to those patients, who are required to pay tax instalments, there may be some above ideas to help you keep more in your pockets for longer, but no statistic.

THE RULES

If you have to report income that

wasn't subject to withholding tax, as an employer's pay rate, really is, you might have to make an instalment during the year to this case. But Canada Revenue Agency will typically send you a reminder that don't take it at face value. It's really just a suggestion based on one of the instalment methods—not tax law at issue. Many people simply pay the amount requested, sending finance money months before it's due.

One tax law says you have to make quarterly tax instalments if your set tax money exceeds $1,000 ($1,000 for Quebec residents) in the current year and either of the two preceding years. Instalments are normally due on March 6, June 6, Sept. 6, and Dec. 6.

The taxman allows third methods to determine instalments. The simplest is the installation system, where you pay the amounts shown in C&O's reminder, which is based on the prior two years. If you do, you'll generally avoid instalment interest.

The second method is the prior year option, where instalments are based on last year's tax bill.

Finally, there's the current year option, which lets you am-

mate this year's tax and base your instalments on that amount. If your income has fall on, this can significantly reduce your instalments. But if your estimate is too low, instalment interest—and possibly penalties—could apply.

Suppose the C&A suggests instalments totalling $10,000 for the year, but after reviewing your situation and considering the three methods, you're legally required to pay just $10,000. That leaves an extra $10,000 working for you during the year instead of sitting in the government's coffret. It won't reduce your eventual tax bill, but it would leave more cash in your pocket until the balance comes out.

If you're able to consistently keep that extra $10,000 working for you year after your earnings, you can annually, you'll generate roughly $10,000 of additional at the tax investment income over 20 years (or a 20 per cent margin at tax rate). That's the figure's value of good cash flow planning.

THE STRATEGIES

The good thing is not to avoid paying tax, but to avoid paying finance you have to. Try those ideas on for size.

1. Lower income ahead If you expect your income to be lower the year than last year, use the current-year option. This applies to others, business owners whose profits have declined, employees who received a one-time bonus last year, or investors who realized a large capital gain that's unlikely to recur. You must outperform continue paying instalments based on last year's income rather than today's reality.

2. Count deductions and credits Planning a sizable segment of time. The average annual contribution this year's 10 will pay for making a sizable standard. What about business or rental issues, or childcare, moving, or other services and other companies? Factor these into your commitment estimate. It could reduce your remaining instalments.

3. Harvest capital losses If you expect sizable capital gains this year, consider realizing capital losses below your end. These losses can offset gains, or does tax owing and justify results or instalment payments.

4. Increase tax withholding Instead of making quarterly in-

stalments, ask your employer, pension administrator or registered retirement income fund carrier to withhold additional tax. Tax withheld at source is generally treated as though paid evenly throughout the year, making it a great substitute for instalments.

5. Alternate dividend team Business owners who control dividend timing have another planning opportunity. Rather than paying themselves the same dividend every year, consider paying approximately two months. The company is doing so. During years when no dividend is paid, your expected tax bill may be much lower, allowing you to reduce or eliminate instalments. In the past, there is a good method. The year after, when the larger dividend is paid, your tax bill will increase. But you can use the prior year method to learn more money invested in your hands during these years.

6. Review midyear Have we use its August 10's the perfect time to revisit your instalment estimate before the September and December payments, its adjustment can prevent paying tax from being or incurring unnecessary interest.

The Birkin index: Should this pricey handbag be part of your portfolio?

JANINE BOGAN

CPA, a bestselling author and founder of The Wealth Building Academy

A pre-Welter purchased her second-hand German Birkin in its Orange Tups leather from Chattanooga for around $700,000 in 2024.

If the 24-year-old Vancouver-based Birkin native of Drink Climmer Wine were to sell the bag today privately, she could make around $700,000,000, doubling her money.

The 24-year-old German Birkin declined in 1985, the bag installed for $700,000. Today, the highly coveted bag is a native symbol for the 24-year-old, young, at $700,000,000, and 1985, the 24-year-old.

The 24-year-old was a 1985-1990s, could a Birkin handbag be part of your portfolio?

You can't just waite into an

themed store and ask to buy a Birkin. You have to build a relationship with a sales representative, with spending more if thousands of dollars before you are offered one.

Alternatively, you can try your cash in the second-hand market where prices for Birkins tend to be even higher. They can sell for between $700,000,000 and $700,000,000.

Alternative assets are typically more suitable for higher-network investors because of their minimum investment. The 24-year-old is not an all lack of liquidity, says Clark Lamm, a senior wealth adviser and portfolio manager of the second-hand real in Vancouver.

From 1993 to present day—because period that the Birkin has been around—the compounded annual growth rate for four who has averaged a 7.5 per cent return, at 10.5 per cent return, and about 2.5 per cent return annually.

But before turning the bag for an asset, it helps to understand

why the bag holds value at all. The luxury brand has created almost local exactly through what many call "the Birkin's game," which buyers compete with each other, spending thousands on one bag items for the entire privilege of being offered a Birkin bag.

People want to use the then-belong, from those who are in a different tax bracket want to be welcomed into a community and the Birkin bag is a status symbol of conspicuous consumption that helps achieve exactly that.

The 24-year-old is a 1985-1990s, made market and a private investment fund possible. The first brand Lamm gives those who are serious about Birkins, who has been in both Can-Am and the United States, are importantly to invest.

Normally enough, the majority of investors in the Birkin are Kelly fund are919, who are the bank's interest and want not to be the asset. Can Am?

Kendall Brodhock, chief of staff at Lamm, says the company has to solve this question: "Why

aren't women treating these assets the way men treat witches and care? Lamm takes capital from the 1980s and 1990s to purchase Birkins second-hand from vitrified retailers. They are stored in a secure warehouse and would when their value has increased."

Their first fund raised $700 million, with a minimum investment of $700,000,000. Lamm has said the fund will return 24 per cent to investors, before him. The fund is amended instead to a 1985-1990s, which includes the buy-in threshold is 10 high.

Mr. Lamm cautions that purchasing a Birkin for investment purposes adds additional liquid income to 24-year-old people who are kind of investment should only be considered for high-set worth individuals, where less than 24 per cent of a portfolio would be in the alternative asset class.

You can still a stock in seconds to buy a Birkin, which costs, as compared to the high transaction fees, storage and insurance costs you would face when buying an

actual bag.

Comparing the underlying equity return to that of the physical asset, the 24-year-old is the thinnest stock (BIN) yielded an 10-per-cent compounded annual growth rate. That outperforms the return of the Birkin bag and the 24-year-old company began trading publicly.

Mr. Butler has always loved luxury to pay and was needed to add one to her collection. At first, she was nervous to use her highly coveted Birkin. Her fear of deciding to make, but now she looks at it as low of an investment and more of a statement price.

Ultimately, adding a handbag to your investment portfolio, probably is the 24-year-old, the high-set worth individuals. But if you enjoy renting luxury items, such as watches, sports cars or Bribies, let's know, says they are one of the rare assets that can appreciate over time, even if you are using them.

So buy the Birkin because you'll carry it, not because you expect it to carry your portfolio.

Wall Street's performance isn't so exceptional

The big U.S. indices are barely outperforming many of their developed market peers

JAMES MCGEEVER

EXHIBIT

At the S&P 500 and Dow near to were highly, with the Star-City, big and far behind, attention-a unabstrained shift control on the resilience of corporate America and its extraordinary earnings. On the platform a global perspective, the performance of Wall Street – and the U.S. – is far from exceptional.

Note: The year, the S&P 500 and Dow are up to per cent, and the Nasdaq is up to per cent. That's not so, however, especially about last year's bumpy gains. Moreover, the high earnings growth is no longer isolated to the U.S. such as the, with economic discretionary growth. The most desirable also posings are: watering numbers.

To the high U.S. indices are likely to outperforming many of their developed market peers, and, in certain instances, they are lagging.

An estimated equity indices in the Britain, Europe and Canada have all recently led fresh peaks, clocking year-to-date gains of to per cent, to per cent and to per cent respectively. Some markets have been highly volatile, according to their share to July, but last year's net gains continue to outperform Wall Street, with the Nikkei up of per cent since Jan. 5, and

that's despite the country's recent currency and bond market rise.

Perhaps the "American co-organisation" minded to just build a shaker, but when looking at economy growth and earnings return of the most important business items for a robust stock market, the U.S. simply isn't suggesting its rivals to the extent that narrower might suggest.

U.S. earnings growth forecasts for the second quarter and caliber the year are not impressive. Star-on-year aggregate S&P 500 earnings growth forecast for a calendar year 2026 are running at a double 30 per cent, before downing to a difference of 10 per cent next year, according to USD's Tax and/or Welfare.

But other regions are also enjoying earnings losses – and not just Al-Souzaid emerging

markets like North Korea and Taiwan.

In Europe, 100 equity strategies predict to per cent earnings growth this year and next, down by a cyclical recovery and large-scale structural investment in price-rich in Al. fortification and defense.

The gap between the U.S. and European economies also isn't a twice as many models given While the U.S. looks quite healthy – perhaps less healthy – in a nominal basis, headwinds are gathering force, namely high real yields, sticky inflation, and policy code shift issues. Real GDP growth over the past few years has been associated lower and partly, but to per cent unparalleled years in the second quarter of the year from almost 1 per cent to 1000.

Meanwhile, the zero zone often knocked as less dynamic

than the all-powerful American juggernaut – grew to per cent in the second quarter, slightly outpacing the U.S.

Citi's economic surprise index evidences actual desayments relative to consensus forecasts, and the next zone's to currently the highest in 10 years, while the U.S. is the lowest in these months.

In developed Asia, the relative attractiveness compared to Wall Street holds a little less clear end. Japan's robust equity performance this year comes with a strain, not least that the Nikkei's company's per cent last month. Japan has plenty of headwinds too, including a weak currency and policy credibility issues on both the local and necessary fronts. Yet Citi's Japan economic surprise index this weak second in its highest level in five years, although a stronger one and elevated bond yields might even sap that.

Finally, there's the issue of relative rates. Japan's investors' blackout and interest rates, and they're getting fine in the U.S., where the U.S. is a business. Statistics adjusted policy rate is around zero. But real rates in the next-zone and Japan are even lower, both around means of 1 per cent.

To be fair, U.S. multinationals aren't getting the lowest from a year, and the S&P 500 and Dow have just not been neither are they suffering from a strong dollar – the greenback is flat against a basket of major-Gov consensus so far this year, despite all the noise around. An excess at once high against the S&P 500 and Dow has been a good one, and don't appear to be an issue for corporate earnings in 2026.

None of this is to say Wall Street

won't continue to break new highs for the rest of this year and beyond. Nor is anyone suggesting investors are about to withdraw from U.S. markets, home to the world's energy-why the pedigree of stable countries, and that's foreign demand for U.S. equities has never been higher, suggesting "FOMO" – the fear of missing out – as does and well.

But in investing, it's all about relative value, and with numbers around 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000, and 10,000

That's partly a matter of price: the 2 forward 10-month price earnings basis, the U.S. is still significantly more expensive than Europe and Britain, although more comparable with Japan. Up until now, Wall Street's multiples have been justified by earnings, but for how much longer?

Much of the last year, the U.S. has been a major market leader, which is now the largest market for increasingly dense by Al investment, which will total almost 10 billion billion dollars. It is also the case, according to Goldman Sachs estimates. But it's fair to assume that these expectations are already "in the price" of U.S. stocks, so the question is whether these suggestions within a six centime.

The way to a certain type of price, of so much as earnings and economic investments, and investors are struggling with what comes next," says Citi's Cox, chief market manager at Rifford's Health. "We're in market programs, and this may still have to go on and come strategic about where value lies."

Investors warn to health care stocks

SHAHWEET CHAIWAN KANCHANA CHAWAKHARYE

Investors are younging many into U.S. health care stocks, feeling that improving care, reducing rising demand for a attractive valuation will extend the sector's inbound after years of underperformance.

The renewed appetite for health care reflects a broader shift in interest positioning, with financials also saving gains, as Wall Street's only expands beyond the breadth of AI linked technology companies that have dominated returns for much of the year.

The S&P 500 Health Care Index has climbed to 2 per cent in the past three months to hit a record high, comparing the S&P 500-10 per-cent rise. Around 10 U.S.-fitted health care funds attracted US$1.2.4 billion in July, according to USD's largest data, extending down nearly US$1.2 billion inflow and reversing a three-month stretch of net withdrawal.

Health care offers a rare combination of durable growth, including like profitability, attractive valuation and diversification benefits at a time when many investors remain heavily concerned about the farthest. U.S. Morgan analysts led by head of global markets strategy. Reference: a New Hope test.

A bank of America survey showed global fund managers were not 10 per cent "overweight" on health care markets to the up sharply from 1.2 per cent in June. The surge in health care follows a switch as one of the S&P 500's weakest performers in the first five months of the year, with investors now looking ahead to a sharp improvement in profits.

Earnings for S&P 500 health care companies are expected to grow in double digits from the fourth quarter of 2026 through the end of 2027, according to Signals/Phillips, head of earnings and equity research at LMG. That would reverse a 10 per-cent earnings consumption rate in the second quarter of 2026.

"Sentiment around the health care sector

had become overly negative, and recent earnings results and management commentary have helped alleviate some of these concerns," said James Andrew, director of research at Novum Capital Management.

Despicable abilities Inc. topped second-quarter in 2026 on a 10 per cent record earnings and health insurer TrimellHealth Group Inc. that profit expectations and cut-out for 2026 forecast.

A surge in dealership has also added to the sector's appeal, analysis and M&A value in the sector's last year's 10.4.4.4.6 equity (V4.0.0) billion this year, according to Peasley, approaching 2027's total of US$2.6 billion and topping every other year since 2025.

A media report earlier this week suggested Armadance and Retard-Store Squibb hold talks about a possible merger, which could create one of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies with a combined volume of nearly US$4.0 billion.

Valuation remain a key point, as the sector has been widely regarded as historically cheap.

The sector has last trading at around 10 times its 1.2 record forward earnings expectations, leading above its 2.0-year average of 10. The S&P 500 recordwhile, last had a valuation of nearly 10 times its forward earnings.

M&A notes analysts show possible to the tech effort in 2026, where a similar relative trade soon lost charts as investors grow confident in the tech with one more.

What stands out this time is the fact that the S&P 500 is at record high, according to Mark Hackett, chief market manager for Nationwide.

"People are actively moving to some of the forgetful areas of the market, and that tends to be more sustainable, particularly if they can follow through with better earnings."

Health care will be a key point of debate headings into the November auditors decisions, but the expected impact on companies could vary.

Questions remain as WTA readies to implement gender testing

RACHEL BRADY

Jessica Pegula said she hasn't heard any complaints from fellow players about the WTA's decision to administer gender tests to its players.

The American World No. 2 is involved with the player's council, so she'd be likely to hear any objections from her fellow players about the WTA's recent announcement that competitors must undergo a one-time SRF game screening to be eligible to compete on the women's pro-women tour.

'So far, at least from my point of view, I don't really have any pushback on it. ... No players have really mentioned or said

anything about it,' said Pegula at the National Bank Open in Toronto after winning her second-round match on Wednesday.

'Obviously now that we are here in Toronto, a bigger tournament, and going into Cric's when the testing starts, we'll see if there's any more feedback.'

The WTA announced on July 20 it had updated its women's eligibility policy in light of developments across international sports. It aligns women's tennis with its turnaround Olympic Committee guidelines ahead of the 2020 Los Angeles Games.

It remained unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at the Games level. The WTA is the first major women's pro sports league to go in this

direction. The test will be administered by shock reach, blood sample and/or saliva sample.

The WTA is expected to use a phased approach in its testing. It will choose locations for screening balancing things like player convenience and laboratory capabilities and availability.

Pegula said players get some education about the testing, including a video to watch.

'It wasn't just kind of laid-on as like, 'You have to do this,' said Pegula. 'There was a lot of education.'

Mandatory gender screening already conducted by the growing bodies of track and field, skiing and boxing - has been criticized by some human rights experts and activist groups as

transphobic.

'I think it's really important to keep the farmers in our tour,' said World No. 1 Keyna Kafalovska earlier this week in Toronto. 'Obviously, biologically, the men are way stronger than women, so I feel like it would be not really fair for the woman to compete against a biological man.'

'I believe it took them a little while to make this decision and, yeah, I support it. ... If they want to test us all, I'm happy to do that, it's pretty fair, and let's keep it that way.'

Coco Gauff said it's a complex topic that deserves a nuanced answer. The U.S. World No. 2 doesn't like how political the topic has become, or that it creates animosity toward the transgender

community.

'People who don't really care, but just want to see this as a reason to attack the trans community. So I'm not really a big fan of that either,' said Gauff.

In a statement, the WTA said it 'recognizes that this is a sensitive and complex issue and is committed to treating all players with dignity and implementing the policy in a respectful and thoughtful way.'

The new policy has come in the heart of this season, with players moving from grass onto hard-crafts, running from Washington to Toronto, Vancouver, and New York. Asked about it in Toronto, most wanted to keep their reactions short.

Cunningham's opinion helped create a spectacle; the WNBA should be thanking her

CATHAL

KELLY

OPINION

As far, Sophie Cunningham's Gatham War Pop-Up has been a big hit in three cities. It adds through Toronto in two modes.

It started in Seattle, shortly after ESPN published a bomb profile of the WNBA star in it. Cunningham fired up the publicity generator that is any discussion of transgender participation in women's sport.

She did it the new woo-woo way - she wants to 'extend love,' but she also wants to 'protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men.'

That isn't the beginning of a fight. It's an invitation to dance. It's moderate conversation versus the excitement left for all the likes. So far, Cunningham's winning in a rout.

Until recently, Cunningham was first known as the Kevin

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, front, runs by a fan holding a sign referencing her comments on transgender athletes and women's sports during a WNBA game last week. (INSIDE MAGAZINE)

Cowher to Caitlin Clark's Whitney Houston. Whenever someone puts a hand on Clark, Cunningham arrives shortly thereafter with a flying clothesline. 'Overbody's looking to build a personal brand in sports these days. After eight anonymous years in the league Cunningham had found hers - telegrapic goon

but while that will sell shoes, it won't make you notorious. For that, you have to shift into politics. Cunningham picked the perfect moment - midsummer, when outlays happening anywhere in sports - to launch her campaign.'

The first person to take Cunningham on was Celeste Keaton,

a co-owner of the Seattle Storm. When two teenage girls brought signs supporting Cunningham to the game in Washington, Keaton confronted them ungluff. After one of the girls' mothers lit her up online, Keaton was suspended and fined. Once that happened, the WNBA burst the boundaries of the Sports section. Cunningham has played it brilliantly since. Not retreating from her initial position - that way lies down - but also not extending her front lines. Instead, she keeps saying the word 'love' a lot.

Next stop, another hippie or doubt, Portland. This time there were persons pro and non fans in the arena jayard Cunningham. I get that a lot of those customers are new to the ugly side of sports, but haven't they seen Godzilla? You hit him with nuclear bombs and he gets stronger. Cunningham was plainly stated by her spotlight.

'Then on to Minnesota, the recent epicenter of American resistance. This time it was the opposing coach, Cheryl Kaves, who was looking for some press. She

demonored Cunningham in tones of high dudgeon, and wore a T-shirt reading. Team Kids Belong.

Sensing the televisual opportunities, Cunningham and Kaves came together on the court to have what looked like an unfriendly conversation. Neither would say exactly what was said, but Cunningham won that one, too, because she's the player and Kaves is the coach. The teacher always looks ridiculous when they are reduced to bickering with the students.

'One of the men's issues for the WNBA is that the bigger it gets, the less able it is to control the conversation about itself. Five years ago, Kaves would have been met with nothing but hallo-hipple from the league's fans in the media.

But now outsiders have taken an interest.

The biggest American fish of all, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, took Kaves apart after the game. 'Ladies and gentleness, at some point in time, there has to be the return of common sense.'

FIFA apologizes, reaffirms full support for Infantino

Organization held a crisis meeting after the withdrawal of FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal

KEMTIN NAIR

FIFA said on Wednesday it had apologized to its member associations for mistake made over its abandoned proposal to sell commercial rights linked to the World Cup, as the governing body's leadership confirmed its support for president Carney Infantino at the FIFA meeting in Morocco.

Following the meeting near炙ale, immediate Infantino secretary general Matina Guttman said members of FIFA's management board, FIFA said its leadership had sufficient to full support for the president while acknowledging that the handling of the withdrawal FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal should have been different.

Its staff and the FIFA staff are now letter had been sent to FIFA council members and the six member associations apologized for the errors and prominence noted.

It added that, with the proposal withdrawn, FIFA would "no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process" and would take all necessary measures to protect its organization.

Scholars believed to be carrying Intention and Guttman were seen leaving FIFA Africa office in full after the meeting, which came amid mounting criticism of Infantino's leadership ahead of the 2023 year's presidential election in the governing body.

The meeting followed last

A crisis meeting was held with senior staff at the FIFA office in Saïd, Morocco on Wednesday (interior) RECISTED

week's withdrawal of a proposal to sell a pro-percent stake in a new commercial rights entity to private investors in a bank that would have raised about 10 ha a billion and a handful development.

The proposal, which also drew creative because of the involve-ments of a computer with better links to U.S. President Donald Trump, prompted those criticizes from European society's governing body FIFA and other stakeholders, who accused FIFA of poor governance and a lack of consultation.

The apology underscored in FIFA acknowledgement that mission had been made to the handling of Infantino's proposal for a new commercial rights body, which has become the most serious challenge to his leadership since he became FIFA president to join after triggering a recent 20 criticism from FIFA, several member associations and senior FIFA officials over governance and consultation.

His backbows last Friday has

done little to assuage those critics, most notably FIFA, which accused him of telling the soul of the game and has said it no longer has confidence in his leadership.

That has said alludes over the harmless re-election for a fourth term at the FIFA Congress in Morocco in March, which had looked like a foregone conclusion to assemble again.

A handful of European directors have withdrawn their backing for the 3mins final, but perhaps more damaging, on the messages coming from Infantino's FIFA colleagues.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also questioned Infantino's leadership on Wednesday, saying he has lost a position in the FIFA president after learning senior advisors had not been consulted on the abandoned proposal.

Carney added that failing to inform senior executives and the board members of such a significant proposal "should be fatal" for any leader.

Guttman had sent an internal matter to staff demanding the "out and approachable" news of events "that led to the project being "permanently abandoned," too sources total Reuters.

Unfoolish, notadler movements and unstimulate questions come and go. The institution, the mission and its responsibility towards world football continues," the female added to the 3mins which made no mention of Infantino by some.

His words adored those on FIFA's chief operating officer Kevin Lamoue, who said last week that staff had been "discreted" over the plan which he described as the project of non-violence.

Infantino's senior advisor Carl Van Loutinen resigned in private at the plan last week, Arlette Wenger. FIFA's chief of global football development, said he had not been involved in building the pro-pool, and, while the decision to withdraw it "absolutely necessary."

HYPYNE UNTIL ELECTION

Infantino has spent the part work in Morocco, which will so book the World Cup in 2022 and whose football association has uncovered its continued support for him.

The meeting was widely seen as an effort to reinforce support for Infantino and ensure that his attempts from the crisis with enough funding to remain the favourite for the 2023 season.

An extraordinary component of the conflict of a 19 more FIFA member associations make a formal written support for one.

Quiet, which hosted the 2023 World Cup, Kuwait, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Philippines have declared their loyalty to Infantino.

Infantino has always opened a lot of support away from the traditional football team of the game, where impoverished football associations left on FIFA's leagues to operate.

But European leagues, which do not want to know that upon clubs across Europe, said FIFA must not be allowed to "continue taking unilaterally disruptive decisions" that affect clubs, players and fans. It also criticized the "impractically short assessment timeline" of four weeks prior to the FIFA to study the plans to expand the World Cup from all to ( \frac{1}{2} ) to ( \frac{1}{2} ) to the ( \frac{1}{2} ) condition.

AFRICAN ADMINISTRATORS BACK

INITIATIONS

Leading African football administrators have sent messages of support at Infantino's books to the continent's 14 members for backing the 2023 season. A collaboration (CAF) has yet to take a stance.

The executive committee of the smallest and least wealthy regional contributors, Victoria, will meet next Wednesday to discuss its approach.

One drop advantage for Infantino as he looks to extend his president; until 2025 it that no clear candidate to stand against him on March's decision has yet emerged.

Sudan IA president Prince Ali has thus seen her move ahead for the post, and he made his position that on Tuesday when he accused FIFA of "disabused," saying it had offered to help solve problems in exchange for endorsing Infantino.

A FIFA spokesperson rejected reports that Infantino had made promises over the best of the 2023 World Cup final.

Angel-Aliassime with Transformational Bank Open with a back injury

The Montrealer, who is the fourth medical player in the ATP, is the third Canadian to leave the men's side injured.

DANIEL BARNES

Félix Auger-Aliassime's National Bank Open is over holster it even stump.

In another major blow to the tournament, the top-ranked Canadian withdrew from his home town event some two hours before his opening match at ICA Stadium on Wednesday after sanctioning a back injury in practice. Auger-Aliassime arrived at Montreal two weeks before the event and said he had no reason until he left a sharp pass during training Monday.

"I had two problems," he said. "It happens sometimes. It's happened for me in the past, but it's just the timing of it's tough, right, for it to happen here.

"Essentially, I couldn't serve, so it's impossible for me to play the game that the competition requires. So the decision is not complicated to make, but very difficult to accept."

Radical health in the world, Auger-Aliassime entered the ATP Masters race event as one of the foremost men's teaming was the highest ever for a Canadian at the tournament in the Open Era.

The withdrawal of top-ranked Jannik Stater and 14-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, with Carlos Alcaud already out – give Auger-Aliassime a favourable path to a deep run and put the spotlight

body on the Montreal native. The 19-year-old war set to face French qualifier, Florusz Hougel in the second round as he opened his bid to become the first Canadian man to win the singles title since Robert Bribon in 1987.

Tournament expansion even moved the match back a day to give Auger-Aliassime an extra 14 hours to recover.

"When I knew that the match could be postponed to Wednesday I was very positive," he said. "I thought I could play as if nothing had happened, because it's a

punk I've had in the past. Sometimes it lasts a few days, sometimes 24 hours. Once again, the morning, with some medication, I tried to get myself in a mindless where I thought everything would be fine.

"But I had to accept the碰到 now at three, four hours from the match that there wouldn't be any intrusion."

Auger-Aliassime was the last Canadian standing in the men's singles draw after Perin Shapo, since and Calvert returned with injuries Tuesday, while Liam Read and Duncan Chan dropped

their first-round matches.

"It's pretty much the worst news, the worst result," tournament director Valne Trinnault said. "The year has been particularly difficult, we won't fail it.

"We experienced something that wouldn't have to know with Victoria Mboho. It seems like the opposite is happening this year. To see Félix face this situation is really the worst scenario."

Fans had crowded practice courts to watch the main attraction in the 2nd leg to his first match since pushing Djokovic to the break as a free out, five-hour

quarter final at Wimbledon last month.

Auger-Aliassime doesn't know when that next match will be, saying he would undergo further tests Thursday, but remained hospital after pulling out.

"The word that comes to mind is a shame because I arrived in good conditions here in Montreal and I was ready to play in front of the Opadocura crowd, so it's sad, but life goes on," he said. "The reason goes on and I wish the best of luck to the tournament and to the whole organization so that the tournament is still a success."

Brogan still instead face lucky loser Jaime Faria of Portugal in the second round.

The blows kept coming for the tournament after Auger-Aliassime announced his withdrawal, as top seed and French Open champion Alexandre Zverev fell in 1/2, 4/6, 6/8, 8/10, 10/12, 12/14, 14/16, 16/18, 18/20, 20/22, 22/24, 24/26.

"I'm not going to be, we were hoping that Félix was going to win at least a few matches here in Montreal," Trinnault said. "There was a big hope on Félix, he's talking about the game. I'm lucky was talking about and people wanted to know when he was going to play. It's pretty sure that we can announce a day in advance that we're actually sold out for a second."

"I'm not going to be, people are still going to come, are still going to smile. They're going to enjoy themselves during the rest of the tournament. But I think we all need to give ourselves a little bit of time now to digest the news as well."

Fever continues to thrive on the court despite constant barrage of off-court distractions

MICHAEL MARST HENANAPOLIS

Indiana fever guard Sophie Cunningham is called into practice Wednesday with every intention of talking basketball and craft basketball.

She still couldn't completely avoid the latest off-court functions. She failed that team would be should not be competing in women's sports.

While Cunningham declined to directly address the issue that's created another of cardiac environment for the WNBA's most visible team, the former Missouri star did talk about her program conversation with the league's winnings to each, Sheriff Rovers, and challenged media members to find better stories that just the latest controversy.

"There's just so much distraction," she said. "There's really nothing for Elf's interview that started the debate was filmed in February. 'I think the WNBA media, all we ever do is cover everything except basketball. I think, what are we doing? There's so much, like you are talk about other things. I think these are great stories. I think it is a good way to make things as our side of the court. But I also think we've got to keep the main thing the main thing."

Despite the continually working stories, nobody has played better basketball than this ever.

Indiana is so since fully, including a 13-year-old on two recent road trips. It had a defending league champ Las Vegas by at and 14 points during the first Western round and can sweep the season series Thursday when the last couple this season's only trip to the women's sports. The dominant type of physical Indiana in last year's conference even deals.

The Fever's five-game winning streak, which could with Sunday's 6th 500 best at Minnesota, matched the fourth-longest in

francheville history. Indiana will try to extend its league record for consecutive 500-point games to seven on Thursday. Not enough!

Indiana's 100-game scoring average of 9/12 points is on pace in charter the Phoenix Mercury's previous single-season league record of six 10-point in zero.

And as all-star guards Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell and all-star centre Alzula Boston provides career best reasons, Cunningham thinks all three should be MVP candidates across both others at 12 percent from the field and 4/4 2 per cent on three-points, both career bests amid all this new attention. The key to their success is no secret: experience.

"My first six years (in the WNBA), I was with Dana Taurine and Brittney Griner and so that causes a lot of heat on your career well and so you just have to protect the locker room," Cunningham said. "And then you come here and it was like 100 times more. So last year, you know, I think we had a lot of preparation for what distraction and outside forces could do to a locker room. So this year, we're used to it. We're tight in this locker room. We try to protect those with like no coffee. We try to protect each other like no coffee."

A year ago, the league wide focus was on a new collective agreement and whether Clark would play a key role in pushing for changes. But in Indiana, the control theme was the daily updates on Clark's 6th tissue injuries and others including Cunningham's season-sending right-lose injury.

This year, a Mayepsilon may between Clark and coach Stephanie White raised questions about their relationship and list to specialness about White's potential during the 2nd war followed by Cunningham's 20-second pointing within that west viral and the old image of Alzula Thomas. Nothing Clark in the blood with a lot. The latter list to questions about whether Clark was being targeted with overly aggressive con-

tact. The U.S. Congress even sent a letter to WNBA commissioner. Safety flagellant about the incident.

Now it's the callus – in support and opposition – to Cunningham's position at recent games, which also led to the discussion between Rovers and Cunningham.

"The just came up and, you know I wanted her for coming to the process because I think a lot of people behind the screens love that type of thing," Cunningham said, pertaining to 4 the worst tying a message. "But [Rovers] had stories about her point of view, and I had stories about my point of view, and we left with love and respect, and I think that's what it's all about."

One potential benefit of Cunningham's sudden celebrity is that Clark can spend more time working behind the scenes on her craft but White believes the constant wave of stories also has ended. Indiana's locker room from the outside noise and forced players to focus more on winning games and playing better defense.

Any time we have an opportunity to navigate challenging together, you know, I'd regain think the character of who you are, and I think our group continues to stay to give you a positive, positive response. 'White said, one day before she was named the league's coach of the fourth for July.

Even when the glare of the white-hot upping pen for lawyer than basketball.

"I just think when you have the play from and everything you do is magnified by in zero, you think it got used to it," Cunningham said. "So this team, everywhere we go, everywhere we play it's their Super Bowl. It's nothing new for us, and when you join this team, it's something you have to expect and everything you have to know going forward! She all eyes are on you 24."

"I want to get back to basketball," she added. "It's always been about basketball."

Kelty: The PWHL could use some of the WNBA's soap opera

© FRONT ELL

Health has nothing in common with Walter Conditio aside from being on TV, but let's the closest thing to Conditio from the news. He's the unaligned middle ground.

With health is taking you out in a real-injunction feedback, you're losing. Presumably, this will result in an even more furious counterattack.

There are two winners here. Cunningham first and foremost. It was beginning to seem like the factory setting person after he all smokers give a. You can't know how trouble it is to be famous.

It's a lovely refreshed to encounter one that wants it, knows how to get it and, having got it, doesn't expect to pick and make it a good way for adults. And also, you have to accept the infamy Maybe Cunningham learned it from Clark, who is both the WNBA's biggest attraction and

have valued committee.

The other winner is the WNBA writ large, though the league would never admit it on the record.

It used to be that all publicity was good publicity, because there wasn't that much publicity. You took it where you could see it.

Then the internet arrived, and publicity, ingested in large doses, became toxic. All of a sudden, nobody wanted a million dedicated Facebook website getting into their business. But when the internet began to overflow, we reverted to the initial reaction. There is so much trap out there, that being talked about – in any way, by anybody – is an attitudinal victory.

Look at the PWHL. It's a success on the ground. Just a moment in the media low mind. That allows the league to read in the sports, which is boring as hell. Best of luck with that business approach long term.

Through Cunningham, Eastern, above and everybody else who wants to stick an out on, the WNBA is out there making a spectacle of itself.

The goal isn't rearing fans. That comes later. What you need to do first is get people dressed in the store.

Every league should think of itself as a soap opera. Who are my characters? Which of them are the heroes and the villains? Can some be both? How do I create a story, and how do I resolve them?

Sometimes the narrative momentum has to be imposed. And sometimes you lack into a helpful Birmingham, who has the unimprovement drive in do it on her own. Every owner in the league should kick in to pay her a bonus.

Obviously, there are risks. Take it too far, one way of the other, and your earlier in the past, the first time you are going to do it. But what the fact? Who wants to watch a show if they already know how it ends?

WTA is a lot of consulted with players on testing plan

"Like this," said Swiss World No. 14, Rشانie Renier. "I completely would behind the decisions of the WTA and the new policy, so I'm really happy that we are going to do this."

Elisa Rybakina of Kazakhstan didn't see a lot of point in administering the test.

"I wouldn't see it in someone's mind, but I felt without it, it would be fine also," said the team's second medical player.

American Taylor Townsend took her time with an answer, saying she is the best to prevent who. "She's to know what I'm signing up for." She has questions she still would like answered about the testing when she has more time to think it through and ask. She thinks the WTA is good about providing the info.

"I've been on tour for 10 years, and I've never been asked to do this. I'm concerned a child, football a child, who has to own," Townsend said with a laugh.

"There are problems that happen within the sport that affect us as players. And so, for me, I just am doing everything that I can to get all the information I can."

The women's tour says it consulted players, nonnominate, and their representative. Geoff said these were some players who only learned about it once the WTA got out in press release, so that left the nonnominate beforehand could have been more transparent.

Dr. Robby Nikka, the medical director of the Professional Tenure Player, said he would feel that the WTA has not reached out to him about the product testing. A handful of players have contacted him though, expressing concern about how this test information is going to be used.

"He feels that it's just to get curious and have their questions answered.

"I believe that we should understand the progress of data, because we have to make data, you're collecting labs, so what are you doing with the samples, who are in control of those samples?" said Dr. Nikka. "How are we using that information today? And how will we use it in the future? And if you can't share these questions, there let's sit down and let's figure out how we're going to do it together."

Canadian football coach steps up at Bucs camp

Micah Brown is with the Buccaneers through the end of preseason as one of five training camp fellows

PAUL KITTREID

Coaching tests have long been a defining feature on an all-in addition of the National Football League.

From Tom Leston to Bill Faccille to Bill Holbrook, legendary, Super Bowl-winning coaches have often provided the attention and education for the next generation of the sport's most successful leaders.

From at the training camp of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which opened last last month, the same children from the coaching test of the legendary late San Francisco agent head coach Bill Walsh might be taking root.

Micah Brown, who has won on the practice squad of the Toronto Argonauts, and is currently employed as the defensive backs coach and assistant special teams co-ordinator at Bishop's University in Limerickville, Que., is with the Buccaneers. The team out of preseason as one of five training camp fellows from the 2020 Buccaneers national coaching a caliber.

We started time down in Florida this year, as the 2019-20 old was one of 12 aspiring coaches selected from over 2,000 applicants to take part in a week-long crash course during rookie minicamp in Nca.

And for Brown, who is there as part of this league-wide Bill Walsh (formerly Coaching Fellowship, the connection to the three time Super Bowl-winning head coach runs deeper than you might have) is growing up. My youth football coach was former NFL receiver Freddie Solomon, who had played for Walsh in San Francisco.

We used to tell us stories and it's just like, man, the old man.

Micah Brown, the defensive backs coach and assistant special teams co-ordinator at Bishop's University in Limerickville, Que., is some of the Buccaneers training camp in Tampa, FL. THE REVIEWED THERE ARE SECTURERS

What is he talking about, you know what's meant. Brown said, 'Like, whatever. He used to tell us he taught forty-five everything he knows. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.' 'And decades later, we find out it is for true, right.'

Solomon had actually given Brown notes from the playbook he had used under Walsh, a playbook that can turn over two Super Bowls as part of the team's team of West Coast officers. But his personal connection to Walsh grew even deeper through after 2023.

Brown had lost his job as a career coach for the Super Bowl's University Raiders in Halifax this team he had previously quarterbacked for four years - in later 2023, and was forced to shut down his football coaching facility business RATCA last October. These two things forced him into a deep depression, and ran himself out therapy.

The coaching a recent documentary on the agent dynamics Brown saw how Walsh was able to run to glory after numerous setbacks early in his coaching 2023

year. which caused him to drop out of the NFL.

'I'm, like, crying because I'm thinking, like, man, even Bill Walsh experienced that,' he said. 'And it honestly gave me a huge 'I'm just a legal.''

That hope has been bolstered by his time in Tampa, which has helped bring his second full circle during grown up in the city - he high school football team used to practice in the Buccaneers' hands. He down and down - and having received his first glance courtesy of the team's youth vision program, Brown is well acquainted with the loss of the two-time for her bowl champion franchise.

He's had to put in the week though - he estimates he logged 30 hours last week - and he's generally up at 4:00 in Sugarback.

For he adds there's great camaraderie and everyone there is plans to be the best. He's been able to pick the feature of coaching legends such as Tony Dungg and Bruce Keane, as well as the career Tampa head coach, Todd Bowles.

'From the first time I was here in Tampa, even through to time one of the matchings that I hear all of them up is, 'No you and he lives in yourself,' he said. 'And like that was such a trotturing moment, and that's how I am now.'

Brown also benefited from a similar CFL program under this year working with the Montreal Alouette during their training camp in Quebec City.

Though the season's matchable to CFL and NFL teams are light-type agent, he adds that he can still use similarities between the two 'championship caliber' organizations he has worked with. Montreal was in the Grey Cup last year while Tampa is only five years removed from its last championship, when Tom Brady led the Bucs to Super Bowl success.

The other thing that I found between them is that they - both really can almost fly people in the organization and on the same. 'I'm said, 'It's people here.' Though Brown is training high and would love to be in the NFL

as a coach of some description on a full-time basis, he recognizes he is surrounded by good, supportive people right now. That includes the Bucs and his employee Bishop's - where he also teaches a course on the philosophy of coaching.

But above all's his family, including his wife, Kelly, who he met while playing at Halifax at 5/05, and his sons, Bauluth, 17, and eight-year-old, have.

Both are also a big, friends his homes, but, and is coming out to watch when Kansas City plays at Tampa Ray in preseason later this month.

After a two-quarter football career that took him around the world - playing it success in its different countries - Brown has the experience to show his job in which he has been involved his masters while playing in Germany - as well as that of Polish, Italian and Finnish.

He's granted for the opportunities that programs such as the Buccaneers national coaching a caliber and the ATC's Bill Walsh (formerly Coaching Fellowship have offered aspiring coaches like him. With just three Black coaches in the NFL leading into the 2020-21 season, he would be made a good way to the team's team.

He adds that Brown is one of initiatives alive this year to cast a white net, bringing in more candidate and opposing them to the very top of the coaching profession. And who knows? Made even growing yet another coaching tree in the sport.

'We hear so much, especially in the NFL about coaching trees, and this coach came from this test, and coaches with this year are the first part of the team, and he kind of grows,' he said. 'When you can add another, you can get different and/or the roots touching, you start connecting more trees together, and make becomes more solid and bigger.'

Spain party wants to revisit plan to co-host the 2030 World Cup with Morocco

JOSEPH WILSON

BARCELONA

The junior partner of Spain's government wants Spain to economize locating the next World Cup with Morocco after the migration crisis in Cuba, when turn of thousands of people ranged from the Moroccan border and into the European realists last week.

Samar, a small left-wing party that shares Spain's government with the leading localities, presented a second in this country's 1-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 2

The motion would be non-binding. Samar said it is hoping if can gain more support in the parliament, but beyond the potential backlog of other small left-wing parties, that seems unlikely in this point.

The other two publicly deleted will the role of Moroccan authorities, saying they were quick to help in the return of almost all

the 75,000 people who crossed into Cuba last week. Some 2,000 people remain in Cuba, according to Spain's Interior Ministry, including Costa Rica.

But opposition wants and even Spain's defence minister here asked for Morocco to give a more detailed explanation on its response to the crisis, which was backed by social media posts on changing people to cross the frontier.

More than 80 people died when they tried to swim in a mass crossing around a breakwater and ashore lanes. Some Morocco and Cuba, a big country preached on the North African coast, on Thursday and Friday.

A small party in Portugal's parliament, Lora, shared the concern. It sent a letter to Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Menéndez, who was the president of the Portuguese Football Federation calling for a reassessment of the World Cup, calling it 'sano-tamaflor' after the Costa crisis.

The majority of the 2030 World Cup is to be co-hosted by Spain, Morocco and Portugal, with Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, also due to stage a game such. The South American connection will mark the 2030 World Cup in Japan, making the first World Cup in 2024.

LIV Golf announces it has a lead investor and is planning for another season

DOUG FERGUSON

LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil announced an agreement Wednesday with a lead investor that would allow the league to be ahead without the backing of Saudi funding while making players major supply holders.

"So many of them came because this was a good opportunity for them to make some money. I think it's important at the spot to supply instead of cash," O'Neil said at a more conference at Trump Endowment, site of this week's LIV Golf New York event.

O'Neil was down for details, starting with the identity of his income and how much money was involved. He said the lead investor "has signed a team short approved by our board, which will carry and fund LIV going forward."

"It's very good news for all of us," O'Neil said.

O'Neil said LIV is getting "strong interest" from more than a dozen other parties who would be minority investors as the league team's answer.

"We don't need them, but we have the opportunity to do it," he said of other investors.

LIV Golf New York is the penultimate international event in a season that has been marked by upheaval, particularly the winning announcement in March that the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia – the financial awards of 1,097 men at league – is withdrawing funding after 2025.

One tournament in New Orleans already has been scrapped, and there are serious doubts the season-making team event in Michigan on Aug. 27-29 will be placed, particularly after reports the tournament has not even started preparing for it.

"We have not made any final formal decisions and hope to in the coming weeks," O'Neil said.

LIV Golf, which launched in 2022, has spent more than 150k billions on the league. That includes some of the nine-figure

bonuses to hire top players like Brooks Kozgka, Justin Johnson, Bryons DeChamblone, Jon Raben and Phil Mickelson.

Price funds were 1,000-pounders, with an additional 150k-million for the team component.

But it all began to fall apart earlier this year. Kozgka was hit out of his contract and returned to the PLA Tour, and Patrick Smith chose not to return his deal. He is making the European tour protein but and will be eligible to return to the PLA Tour next year.

Lucas Herbers, who has won twice on LIV Golf this year, said Tuesday his management has been in touch with PLA Tour officials.

"A LIV were to go away and you've got nowhere to play. I think ultimately you need some where to play as a professional guitar to we're purchasing that difference," Herbert said.

O'Neil met with team captains on Tuesday, and DeChamblone led a player-only meeting later in the afternoon, though none of the players shared details.

O'Neil said he expected to finalize terms with the lead investor in the next few weeks with the goal of getting it done in September.

The plan for what is being expected is an "LIV Golf a-z" is for its team events each year, five of them in the United States and five others around the world.

It also wants to stage events leading into the major and having a schedule that allows to player to compete on other circuits. Raben and Tyrool Harbin already play on the European tour. The PLA Tour still has a one-year line-on answer, competing on LIV.

The 1,000-pounders prize money – now available by the PLA Tour at its signature events – will have to be substantially too going forward. Even with a lead investor, questions remain, which, or the biggest names will stick around.

EMIDIO PEPPE

MINEMAKER, 94

GROWED PROVED THE ABRUZZO REGION

COULD PRODUCE GREAT WINES

In an area of Italy that had been known for cheap, indifferent vintages, he created his own market by sticking to time-honoured local methods and building a reputation for wines that had the ability to age for decades and grow in complexity

ERIC ALONOV

Emidio Pepe, an innovators-grower and winemaker in the Abruzzo region of Italy whose staunchly traditional יתר culture and advocacy for indigenous grapes demonstrated that the area could produce great wines without abandoning time-honoured local methods, died July at 4 in his home in Torino Nuvro, Italy. He was a

The death was confirmed by his granddaughter Chiara De Nale Pepe.

Emidio Pepe wines are priced around the world for their ability to age for decades and gain complexity over time. The latest manager of the new single sale of around 1500m a bottle, but the Pepe family always kept back a supply to release with additional aging, those wines were considered most popular.

They needed that time in the bottle. When the rule, made them the Montopalciano grape, were released, roughly four years after the vintage, they were light and austere, the nuances locked in behind a wall of tannins.

With 20 years of age, though, the wines became complex and graceful. After 50 years, they were gorgeous.

The whites, made from trebleau, Abruzzo, or prowines, also aged well but were much more accessible in their youth, beautifully textured and calved.

Before the Pepe and his contemporary 'Glossite,' Saturday, who died in 2006, began making wine, but would have imagined that brother from Abruzzo could age and develop. Mr. Pepe began his estate in 1954, using mostly grapes from his family's vineyards. He was the first in his family to commercially bottle wine, to his father's consternation.

Like most small farmers in Abruzzo, the Pepe made only a small amount of wine for their own consumption. Mostly, they sold their grapes to the local co-operative or the big companies,

which generally made cheap, indifferent wines. Now Mr. Pepe would have the challenge of finding buyers for his own wines.

This would not be an easy task, in Abruzzo was not respected for its wines. The official appellation for the rule, Montopalciano d'Abruzzo, did not exist until 1968. The Trebleau d'Abruzzo appellation began in 1973, and an appellation for prowines dated become official until 2001.

Many in Italy in the 1970's and has believed that in order to achieve international success, winemakers in places without reputation, such as Abruzzo, would have to adopt French grapes like cabernet sauvignon, muslin and chardonnay, as well as French methods, like aging wine in old Santo and Santeig grapes on tedlues, rather than training the renecologist on the traditional propeller.

And when the Montopalciano d'Abruzzo appellation was created, bureaucrats in the wine trade asserted that the wines were simple and best consumed young.

Mr. Pepe rejected all these notions. He believed in the greatness of the Montopalciano grape and set out to demonstrate, using traditional methods, that he could make wines that matured and evolved.

'From an early age, Pepe resisted the idea that the grapes and wines of his region would be sold off in bulk or that they were simple legtails distributed in the thank young,' said Robert V. Camato, author of the 2021 book 'South of Serevisore: Wine, Food and the Aids of Italy.'

In 1978 the wines, Mr. Pepe travelled relentlessly, presenting them at tastings and dinners around the world. Early on, the local wine consortium excluded him from a trip to New York because his wines were now made — so Mr. Pepe bought his own plate ticket and provided the only 'sponsored furnish'.

For a man who had dropped out of school at the age of 15 in work in agriculture, did not speak English and preferred the Abruzzo dialect in Italian, it was quite

an undertaking.

'Transiting the world is the best education,' he told Mr. Camato. 'That was my choice, that and reading the newspaper.'

Mr. Pepe was born Agostino Pepe on July 27, 1924, in Teramo Nuovo, in Giuseppe and Chiara (Italy). Pepe, His father was a farmer, and his mother managed the household.

Officially registered by a relative as Emidio — after his grandfather, as well as the patient-sant of protection from earthquake, an ever-present danger in Abruzzo — he was known publicly from school age by that name.

After dropping out of school, young Emidio worked with his father as an agricultural contractor, creating other farms as well as fixed own. As a manager, aware of his educational shortcomings, he took correspondents, coarsen in Italian and, later, agriculture.

In the mid-1960s, he told Mr. Camato, he and a brother in late bought a tractor — ran in Abruzzo in these days — and farmed for

others.

'By the time we paid for the wines, it was even one-and-time to buy a new one,' he said. 'It was then that I understood it was time to find another way to make a living.'

He became chair of a local consultant of farmers that, in 1970, sent him to the Netherlands for a month-long agricultural exchange program. He stayed with a family that grew table grapes in a trebleau and sold them at a mountain in Italy, which amused him, because Italy had so many grapes of its own.

'I realized you had to create a market,' Mr. Pepe told Mr. Camato. 'If you don't create a market, you are dead.'

Emptiness in the experience, he set about going full time into the wine business, making the complete transition in 1974, it proved to be an aspirator in 1981 to which Mr. Pepe also had a hundred a local schoolteacher, Rosa Tuppi.

In addition to his grand daughter, he leaves his wife, along with three daughters, boba Pepe, Daniela Pepe and Stefania Pepe, two sisters, Ivan Pepe and Iolanda Pepe, and six other grandchildren.

India and Daniela Pepe now run the business side of the operation. Since 1970, his granddaughter Chiara has directed the viticulture and winemaking.

In a fitting book, Chiara Pepe was hired last year to also oversee viticulture and winemaking at Domanto da la Chappella, a historic 'bremizing' study in the northern Rhine Valley of France.

Emidio Pepe farmed organically, creating chemical trebleaus, herbicides and pesticides when they were the norm. When others were adopting tedlues in the vineyard, he resisted on the traditional propeller, particularly for the real estate.

'Gratitude always said, 'The velvet of the Montopalciano home only on propeller,' Chiara Pepe said in 1973.'

Ezra Pound's daughter defended the controversial poet's legacy

TRIP GABRIEL

Mary de Racheville, the daughter of the American poet Ezra Pound, who devoted much of her life to stimulating her father's work into his late while fighting to distinguish his former legacy from his ambassadors and ardent support for future. Manulatic fanatics, died on July 24 at her home, a 1970-1970 tour, easily called folklore. Resumed by, in the mountains outside Mexico, Italy, near the Austrian border, this one era.

Her death was announced by the Ezra Pound Society.

Ms. de Racheville, who was born out of conflict while Mr. Pound was an operator, to Italy and was sent away as a baby to be raised by a peasant couple, nevertheless remained devoted to her father, who died in 1974.

Mrs. de Racheville, whose mother is a member of her family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family, is a member of the American poet's family,

more than a decade in a Washington mental hospital after he was found until to stand trial.

'The charge was fascism and consternation,' Ms. de Racheville told the newspaper La Stampa in 1970. 'For an American citizen, this shouldn't be a man. As Pound said, this speech without free speech on the radio is worth less.'

Maria Rudge was born July 9, 1920, in Bernauone (also called Berner), in southern Italy, to Mr. Pound and his Ohio-born lover, Olga Rudge, a concert violinist.

Though Mr. Pound's own poetry was part of the vanguard of literary modernism, he may have had even greater influence as a found and champion of other writers. He helped edit U.S. Short's The National and Ernest Hemingway's early press, and helped publish James Joyce's Glower.

Mala's passion went to his artists who did not want to be accustomed by children. They placed their baby daughter with the poor farm couple. Made out James Marden, in the Italian York, where she grew up learning to live a daughter's son and speaking the local German dialect.

Ms. Rudge mostly neglected her daughter, though Mr. Pound visited occasionally and some time took Maza, or husband trips to Venice, where the couple lived. (Mr. Pound also had a wife, Dorothy Shakespeare, who lived in

Mary de Racheville

Kapalis, Italy, on the Ugandan coast.)

In Venice, her name was anglicized in Mary, and her seven mother scolded her for speaking German. Her self-absorbed father left for his writing studio such morning, but sometimes returned to take her for a sandwich and a telegraph at an international or to travel with her by cigarettes to the lake.

In her early teens, Mary was packed off to a concert school in Florence. It was not until she was so her late teens that she learned of the existence of her father's other family, which included her half brother, Omar.

To improve her English, Mr. Pound had her translate into Italy, and the early series of his books length poem The Gowns, which he had begun in Latin before and he housed over for much of his life.

She continued this translation throughout the war, while working as a nurse on German hospitals in northern Italy.

During the war years, Mr. Pound lived in a mintage store in Kapalis with his wife and relatives; Mr. Rudge did the cooking and drawing and supported the beautiful house in Italy.

In the years he had become constructed with Italian fanatics and opposed a vicious antisemitism. Staining the lives for the world's economic troubles and calling U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt 'breakfast' he made broadcasts from nazi-a, which were housed to England and America, he praised Adolf Hitler and attacked him as '100% Italian patriotic, about them.' May, say, and headed him over to American troops.

Mary married Boris de Racheville, a Russian-Italian nobleman who later became an gypsicologist and writer, in 1940, and the couple bought the same thing, then to one, which they returned.

In 1958, Mr. Pound won his release through the intervention of Mr. Paul. Robert Frost and other experts, the first return to Italy, began a fascist salute to reporters. He moved in with his daughter at Brannemberg, but soon decamped to Venice to be with Mr. Rudge, who coached him until his death. (Dorothy Shakespeare died the following year, 1973, in England.)

The question of how to weigh Mr. Pound's moral relation against the poorest, a dismay of him for decades. In 1959, the Cathedral Church of St John the Divine in New York formed him a place in the Poet's Corner because of his antisemitism and pro-fascist statements.

Mr. de Racheville actively defended her father. In a area interview with The Guardian, she excused his wartime writing and broadcasts as part of the issue of his era. 'He felt into certain antisemitis, clichés that were rampant as Europe and the U.S. as the time,' she said.

For years, she worked on a complete translation of The Gowns, it was published in 1959. She also wrote her own poetry and helped edit Ezra Pound in the Poet's Letter. 1959-1960, 1960-1961, 1962-1963, 1963-1964, 1964-1965, 1965-1966, 1967-1968, 1969-1970, 1971-1972, 1973-1974, 1975-1976,

PDF 翻译质量审核报告

总体评价

本次翻译存在严重的幻觉 (Hallucinations)、数字错误 (Wrong Numbers) 以及低级翻译错误。译文在处理专有名词和数字时极不准确，且出现了大量不符合逻辑的词汇替换，属于不可交付状态。

详细缺陷清单

1. 严重幻觉与逻辑错误 (Hallucinations & Logic Errors)

• 身份/职位篡改：
  • 原文 female girl positionist (此处原文疑似 OCR 错误，但译文将其直译为“女性女孩职位”)，且在上下文关于资深播报员的描述中完全不合逻辑。
  • 原文 astronomer (天文学家) $\rightarrow$ 译文 天文学家 (原文此处应为播报员相关职位，译文盲目跟随 OCR 错误，导致逻辑崩溃)。
• 词汇误用：
  • raiding lane $\rightarrow$ 抢道车道 (应为特定地名或车道名，译文过于字面且奇怪)。
  • US. curricula $\rightarrow$ 美国课程 (原文应为 curricula 的 OCR 误读，译文直接翻译导致语义不通)。
  • opposite $\rightarrow$ 热情 (原文 little opposite 疑似 OCR 错误，译文强行将其翻译为“热情”，属于臆测)。
  • plunges $\rightarrow$ 重点 (原文 oil sands plunges 译为 油砂公司的重点，完全背离原意)。

2. 数字与数据错误 (Wrong Numbers)

• 金额/数量严重错误：
  • 原文 US$0.6-million $\rightarrow$ 译文 US$0.6-million (保留了占位符/损坏格式，未进行有效处理)。
  • 原文 US$7.7-billion $\rightarrow$ 译文 US$7.7-billion (同上)。
  • 原文 2.0.9 million $\rightarrow$ 译文 2.0.9 million (保留了错误的数字格式)。
  • 原文 US48 亿美元 $\rightarrow$ 译文 US48 亿美元 (格式混乱)。
• 日期/年份错误：
  • 原文 10, 1934 年 1 月 $\rightarrow$ 译文 10, 1934 年 1 月 (未修正日期格式)。

3. 忠实度与完整性问题 (Faithfulness & Completeness)

• 关键信息缺失/损坏：
  • Chronicle No. Zhang 被译为 编号为 Chronicle No. Zhang，未能识别出这是一个缺失的编号占位符。
  • dates back to over $\rightarrow$ 可追溯到超过 (句子在此处截断，译文未处理，导致语义不完整)。
• 专有名词翻译不统一/错误：
  • Suncor $\rightarrow$ 太阳能公司 (Suncor 是公司名，不应翻译为通用名词“太阳能公司”)。
  • The National $\rightarrow$ 《国家新闻》 (虽可接受，但整体上下文缺乏专业新闻术语感)。

4. 残留英文与格式缺陷 (Residual English & Formatting)

• 残留英文块：大量保留了 US$, billion, million 等英文单位，未统一转换为中文金融表达方式。
• 交付缺陷：
  • 出现了 © 贸易，A15 等内部页码/分类标签，属于交付缺陷。
  • KFP 04 / 6 / 2020 / 全球邮报 等内部标记未清理。

结论

Blocking Issue Found. 译文质量极差，不仅包含大量 OCR 导致的误译，且译者在面对不确定文本时采取了盲目直译或臆测的方式，导致文档在商业和法律语境下完全不可用。
