Power Wheels electric car was a delightful play-
thing for aspiring motorists. The ride-on cars
and trucks, brightly coloured and battery-pow-
ered, let young children step on the gas and drive,
just like mom or dad. They cost US$70 to US$300,
and could reach speeds of eight kilometres an
hour. But overheated electrical components
burned some kids’ hands, legs and feet, and U.S.
buyers reported 700 electrical problems and 150
fires in homes and garages caused by the toy vehi-
cles. On this day in 1998, Fisher-Price agreed to
recall and repair 10 million of them, in what is
thought to be the largest recall of a store-bought
toy. Fisher-Price blamed the fires on consumers
who tampered with the fuses on the cars. But the
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said it
tested the cars and found they were defective. The
head of the government agency complained in a
New York Times story that the toys were in stores

Price still makes Power Wheels, offering “hours of

was recalled this year because of an injury hazard
linked to a faulty braking system.

Prince Harry and Meghan speak out

about the strain of royal life
MEGHAN SPECIA LONDON
Prince Harry and his wife, Megh-
an, the Duchess of Sussex, have
spoken of their struggle in cop-
ing with the spotlight and of-
fered an unusually intimate look
inside the British royal family in
a series of interviews for a new
documentary.
In the interviews, Harry ad-
dressed questions about a rift
with his brother and spoke
about how the death of their
mother made him protective of
his wife and son, while Meghan
acknowledged her difficulty in
dealing with the intense scrutiny.
“It’s hard,” Meghan said in
one interview with the British
broadcaster ITV for the docu-
mentary, which was filmed dur-
ing the couple’s recent tour of
Africa. “I don’t think anybody
can understand.”
The candid interviews come
just weeks after the couple start-
ed to hit back against the British
tabloid media, filing a series of
lawsuits against journalists’ inva-
sive tactics.
On Oct. 1, Harry issued a rare
statement in which he de-
nounced “relentless propagan-
da” and described a “ruthless
campaign” against Meghan by
certain news outlets.
The pair, who married last
May and whose first son, Archie,
was born this year, have found
themselves under constant scru-

loid media. Meghan in particular
VANCOUVER – a mixed race, divorced Amer-
ican actor – has often been the
focus.
But in recent weeks, the cou-
ple seem to have decided to
combat that narrative, and the
documentary is the latest in
their effort to push back.
“I never thought that this
would be easy, but I thought it
would be fair, and that’s the part
that’s really hard to reconcile,”
Meghan said. She described be-
ing warned by British friends
that “the British tabloids will de-
stroy your life” when she first
met Harry, but she said she had
not expected the true extent of
the pressure.
“I didn’t get it,” she said. “So
it’s, yeah, it’s been complicated.”
Harry also addressed the rela-
tionship with his brother, Prince
William. For months, the British
tabloids have splashed tales of a
deep divide between the two –
and their wives – across the front
pages.
Harry, in an especially frank
moment, seemed to acknowl-
edge that there were occasional
disagreements, but he main-
tained that their relationship
had a strong foundation that
would outlast any temporary
tensions.
“Inevitably, stuff happens, but
we’re brothers; we will always be
brothers,” he said. “We are cer-
tainly on different paths at the
moment, but I will always be
there for him and I know he will
always be there for me.”
“We don’t see each other as
much as we used to because
we’re so busy, but I love him
dearly,” he added.
The documentary about the
Duke and Duchess aired Sunday
night in Britain and further re-
vealed the couple’s willingness
to share their emotions in a bid
for a greater understanding of
the pressures of their position.
They are especially known to de-
sire more respect for their priva-
cy, particularly after the birth of
Archie.
Meghan recently filed a law-
suit against The Mail on Sunday,
and while an accompanying
statement explaining the action
did not identify which article
had prompted the move, the tab-
loid published a story in Febru-
ary that included a letter that
Meghan had sent to her es-
tranged father, Thomas Markle.
Harry also began separate le-
gal proceedings this month
against the owners of two other
tabloids, The Sun and The Daily
Mirror, accusing them of hacking
his phone’s voicemail messages
going back as far as the early
2000s.
During another interview for
the documentary, Harry ex-
plained how the death of his
mother, Diana, Princess of Wales,
shaped the way he felt about the
news media and made him de-
termined to make things easier
on his wife and son.
Diana was followed by papa-
razzi relentlessly for years and
was killed in a car crash in Paris
in 1997 as her driver sped from
photographers.
“For me, and for my wife, of
course, there is a lot of stuff that
hurts, of course when a majority
of it is untrue,” Harry said. “I will
not be bullied into playing a
game that killed my mum.”

Country’s widening divisions thrown into relief
Quebec nationalism
and frustration in
Prairies have taken
spotlight, but rifts in age
and urban versus rural
populations also emerge
LES PERREAUX
T
he 2019 federal election
confirmed deep rifts in the
country – from reinvigorat-
ed Quebec nationalism to Prairie
anger over stalled pipelines and a
suffering economy. But the re-
sults also revealed divisions that
rarely get the same attention,
such as the widening gulf be-
tween cities and the aging pop-
ulations of rural areas.
Early returns Monday night
supported what polls were show-
ing as the campaign ended: The
Bloc Québécois, once considered
a spent force, was competing for
the plurality of Quebec’s 78 seats
with the Liberals, powered by na-
tionalist sentiment and greying
voters; and Alberta and Saskatch-
ewan seemed poised to paint
their seats a deeper shade of Con-
servative blue, with only a hand-
ful of their 48 seats still in play for
Liberal or NDP options.
The Liberal victory pitted big
cities against rural regions, the
North against southern cousins
and the old against the young.
Younger urban and northern rid-
ings largely remained with the
centre-left parties, while aging
rural areas were resoundingly
Conservative and Bloc Québé-
cois.
Renewed leadership
helped drive Quebec nationalism
and more robust Prairie de-
mands.
In Alberta, Jason Kenney has
suggested that another term of
Trudeau government would
threaten national unity, fostering
the province’s sense of grievance,

Voters arrive to cast ballots at a polling station in Shawinigan, Que., on Monday. Economist Jean-Marc Léger
says Quebec Premier François Legault is ‘the big winner of this election.’ GRAHAM HUGHES/THE CANADIAN PRESS
while Saskatchewan Premier
Scott Moe has been a reliable
wingman, pushing Prairie inter-
ests with Ottawa.
“It’s certainly true that a Liber-
al victory of any kind will not be
well perceived, especially by the
two premiers who have gone to
war against Justin Trudeau,” said
Daniel Béland, director of the
McGill Institute for the Study of
Canada, who taught for 17 years
at universities in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan before moving to the
has Montreal think tank last year. “It
will increase the tension with Ot-
tawa with Justin Trudeau re-
maining in power, even as a mi-
nority [government]. A majority
[would have been] a scream fest.”
Both Quebec’s second-year
Premier François Legault and
rookie Bloc Leader Yves-François
Blanchet rose by promising to
add urgency to provincial de-
mands for more autonomy.
“The big winner of this elec-
tion is François Legault,” said
Jean-Marc Léger, founder of the
polling firm that bears his name.
“He was at the heart of the cam-
paign, and after what happened
in this campaign he’s going to
carry a much greater weight
when he makes demands.”
Mr. Léger also noted that sep-
aratist and nationalist parties
garnered 70 per cent of popular
support in the 2018 Quebec elec-
tion and were still well over 50
per cent during most of the Liber-
al years, from 2003 to 2018.
“There is always a strong
nationalist sentiment in Que-
bec,” he said. “It’s just not always
apparent.”
During those Liberal years, the
province was led by Jean Charest
and Philippe Couillard, two of
the “most federalist and least na-
tionalist premiers in Quebec his-
tory.
You have to go back to Adélard
Godbout in the Second World
War to find a Quebec premier
who had so little interest in na-
tionalism,” Prof. Béland said.
The rise of Quebec national-
ism and deep Prairie grievance
do not pose immediate existen-
tial threats to national unity. Sep-
aratism is unpopular, and Que-
bec nationalism and Western
alienation have been part of Can-
adian identity for most of the
country’s history.
“Regional differences may be
growing at the moment, but in
Canada it’s cyclical,” Prof. Béland

said. “I don’t think we’ll ever get
rid of regionalism or Quebec na-
tionalism. Sometimes they go
dormant or are less active, but
they are always there.”
Canada has other important
dividing lines. Poll analyst Phi-
lippe J. Fournier compared re-
gional poll breakdowns to pop-
ulation density during the cam-
paign and found that the 50 most
densely populated ridings in Can-
ada were all leaning Liberal or
NDP.
Prof. Béland pointed out that
farmers who once considered
themselves part of the labour
class now see themselves as busi-
nessmen, leading to a decidedly
long-term Conservative shift in
their allegiances.
“One thing we don’t discuss
about this is the age structure.
Our rural areas are aging quite
rapidly, so there’s a demographic
issue at play too,” he said.
That’s true for the Bloc as well.
Mr. Léger noted that for the first
time in its 28-year history, the
party’s supporters are over-
whelmingly older than 50. “It has
traditionally been a young per-
son’s party, but they are else-
where now.”
The most striking rift, Prof. Bé-
land said, remains how Indige-
nous people were barely part of
the conversation in the 2019 cam-
paign. In 2015, northern ridings
with substantial Indigenous pop-
ulations often went Liberal and
NDP. While they comprise 5 per
cent of the population, their vot-
er turnout tends to be lower and
they generally don’t decide elec-
tions, he said.
“Their issues should be our is-
sues, but once again they will
have to wait for the dust to settle
on the campaign,” he said. “The
demographics are clear, their dis-
mal economic status is clear,
their levels of poverty, their ac-
cess to water, services. Their pol-
icy issues will be on the agenda
even if they haven’t been on the
political agenda.”

A
ndrew Scheer had a golden opportunity to
become this country’s prime minister. In-
stead, he so badly failed to win over new
supporters that it should force on his Con-
servative Party a recognition it needs leadership
capable of reaching further beyond its base.
Mr. Scheer’s supporters will try to spin it as a
victory that Justin Trudeau’s Liberals were reduced
to a minority government in Monday’s election.
Indeed, it’s a better result for the Tories in Mr.
Scheer’s first campaign at the helm than most
imagined when he took the job in 2017.
But that was when Mr. Trudeau was enjoying a
protracted honeymoon that made him look politi-
cally invincible – before the SNC-Lavalin affair, the
blackface and brownface photos, the growing rifts
in national unity, the general onset of early fatigue
with the Liberal Prime Minister.
This election was there to be won, if the Conser-
vatives were capable of convincing a significant
share of voters who had grown disenchanted with
Mr. Trudeau that there was decent reason to vote
for Mr. Scheer instead.
That they were unable to do so – that support
for their party at best remained flat during the
campaign, while voters seemed to like Mr. Scheer
less the more they saw of him – speaks to funda-
mental problems with a party that has all but em-
braced being actively unappealing to a majority of
Canadians.

Scheer’s Tories fail to take advantage

Conservative Leader
touted himself as an
everyman vs. Trudeau’s
celebrity-like persona,
but campaign was often
knocked off message

JAMES KELLER CALGARY

KRISTY KIRKUP REGINA

Andrew Scheer failed to capital-

ize on a series of scandals and
missteps that haunted Justin
Trudeau, with an election loss
that opens questions about his
future just two years after he
took over the Conservative Party.
It was not clear late Monday
whether the Liberals had se-
cured a minority or majority, or
whether Mr. Scheer would face
immediate pressure to step
aside. There were rumblings
within the party about potential
successors even before the elec-
tion.
Mr. Scheer started the race be-
hind in the polls and the party
failed to make a needed break-
through in Quebec as the Bloc
Québécois took nearly half the
province’s seats, and was trailing
the Liberals in Ontario’s critical
905 area code.
His election loss followed a
bitter campaign in which de-
bates about policy took a back
seat to personal attacks between
the two front-runners. The cam-
paign also underscored regional
divisions that hurt Mr. Scheer’s
performance in Quebec while
strengthening his hold in West-
ern Canada, though increased
support on the Prairies did little
to boost his party’s overall stand-
ings.
His platform, which centred
around balancing the federal
budget and cutting taxes, was
not enough to persuade a seem-
ingly fractured electorate. And
while Mr. Scheer’s focus on Mr.
Trudeau’s ethical failures such as
the SNC-Lavalin affair and mul-
tiple photos of him in blackface
damaged the Liberal Leader,
those issues ultimately proved
not to be fatal.
“In spite of the fact that the
Liberals were in trouble, he
didn’t seem to have a really
strong vision of what he was try-
ing to do except get her get rid of
Trudeau,” said Penny Collenette,
former director of appointments
in the Prime Minister’s Office un-
der Jean Chrétien, now an ad-
junct law professor at the Uni-
versity of Ottawa.
“That’s hurt the Conserva-
tives.”
Mr. Scheer cast himself as an
accessible everyman who would
bring a measured approach to
governing, contrasting himself
with Mr. Trudeau’s celebrity-like
persona and warning that con-
tinued Liberal deficits would do
irreparable damage to the econ-
omy. Mr. Scheer also attempted
to strike a middle ground in the
climate-change debate, promis-
ing to cancel the federal carbon
tax and instead placing the bur-
den on large industrial emitters.
He insisted that the country can
confront climate change without
impeding resource development.
At the same time, Mr. Scheer
faced accusations that he would

impose painful austerity mea-
sures and has not taken climate
change seriously. He faced crit-
icism of his past positions on
same-sex marriage and abortion,
and questions about his résumé
and the revelation that he is a
dual Canadian-U.S. citizen. Max-
ime Bernier and the People’s Par-
ty also presented new competi-
tion from the right.
Dennis Matthews, a conserva-
tive strategist who is a vice-presi-
dent at the national communi-
cations company Enterprise Can-
ada, said Mr. Scheer largely
avoided taking risks over the
past six weeks. That opened up
complaints that his campaign
was devoid of big ideas, but it
also allowed the Conservative
Leader to stick to his central
message of affordability.
“One of the hardest things to
do in an election campaign is to
keep focused, because you’ll of-
ten grasp at something midway
through or think about changing
strategy or approach,” Mr. Mat-
thews said.
“For the Conservatives, even
their attack in the closing part of
the campaign on a Liberal-NDP
coalition, they still kept that at-
tack focused on the ultimate out-
come that it would cost a regular
voter more money.”
Mr. Matthews said that the
party faced long odds during the
Liberals’ first term in office, as
Mr. Trudeau’s public persona ap-
peared to insulate him from
scandals that would have seri-
ously wounded other politicians.
When Mr. Scheer was elected
leader, expectations were low.
“If you look back in time to
2015, you couldn’t find a Conser-
vative anywhere who thought in
four years that Trudeau was
Mr. Scheer also beatable,” he said.
“That’s partly why there was a
attempted to strike [Conservative Party] leadership
a middle ground in race that produced so many dif-
the climate-change ferent candidates and didn’t real-
debate, promising ly coalesce around anything.
People viewed this as a long

development. with Mr. Bernier, a Quebec MP
who went on to found the Peo-
ple’s Party of Canada.
The Conservatives identified
affordability as the “single-big-
gest issue” early on in their elec-
tion planning, said Mr. Scheer’s
director of communications
Brock Harrison.
The platform included a range
of tax measures, including a
broad “universal tax cut” on the
lowest income bracket, as well as
the return of Harper-era credits
for children’s fitness, arts and
public transit.
He also presented the party’s
climate-change plans in afforda-
bility terms, promising to elim-
inate the carbon tax by Jan. 1 and
putting forward a plan that
would target large emitters rath-
er than consumers. The pitch
was designed to connect with
voters, particularly in Western
Canada, who are concerned that
the Liberal government made
fighting climate change a prior-
ity at the expense of the econo-
my.
During the campaign, Mr.
Scheer, who criticized the Liberal
government for failing to get the
Trans Mountain pipeline expan-
sion built, visited Edmonton to
reaffirm his commitment to cre-
ate a national energy corridor.
The Conservatives say the corri-
dor will make it easier to move
resources, including oil, gas and
hydroelectricity, while heading
off the regulatory and legal de-
lays that have beset Trans Moun-
tain and other projects.
Mr. Scheer was knocked off
that message several times.
Early in the campaign, the Lib-
erals dredged up a video from a
2005 Parliament debate in which
Mr. Scheer said same-sex couples
lacked the “inherent” qualities of
marriage. Opponents also sug-
gested that the Conservatives
would attack abortion rights.
Mr. Scheer said his views on
same-sex marriage had changed
since 2005; he did not explain
what his personal views are to-
day other than to say he accepts
that the law has changed. On
abortion, Mr. Scheer said that
while he is personally anti-abor-
tion, he promised that a Conser-
vative government would not
touch the issue.
Mr. Scheer was also forced to
explain why he had never publi-
cly acknowledged that he was an
American citizen.
He said his father, who was
born in the United States, ob-
tained citizenship for him and
his siblings decades ago, and that
he submitted paperwork in Au-
gust to renounce it.

Liberals must focus on reducing risks in the housing market

C
anada’s new Liberal gov-
ernment will have to reck-
on with big decisions on
taxes and spending in a slowing
economy. But it will also need to
get serious about reducing risks
in the housing market.
This could be the big econom-
ic risk of the next four years.
There is growing evidence that
ultraexpensive urban markets,
especially Vancouver and Toron-
to, are on the boil again. That
pads the coffers of banks and real
estate companies, but the re-
bound has a dark side to it, in
that it encourages consumers –
once again – to take on more
debt than they should. And too
many households already have
too much of it.
Frothy housing markets, high
consumer debt loads and an ex-
plosion in alternative mortgage
lending are creating a powder
keg that our 43rd Parliament
would be wise to defuse. But as
during the campaign that are
bound to create new risks in the
country’s financial system. They
kicked off the campaign with a
promise to enhance their first-

the government-backed Canada

(CMHC).
Housing policy should not be
driven by our federal parties’ de-
sire to curry favour with millen-
nial voters and their baby-boom-
er parents who are keen to get
their adult kids off the teat. The
collective risk to the country’s
economy is simply too high.
Consumers are already deeply
in hock. Canadians owed roughly
$1.77 in consumer debt, includ-
ing mortgages and other loans,
for every dollar of household dis-
posable income during the sec-
ond quarter of 2019, according to
the latest data from Statistics
Canada.
More concerning is the rising

crisis, when ultralow interest
rates encouraged Canadians to
binge on cheap credit.
That’s why Canada’s banking
regulator, the Office of the Super-
intendent of Financial Institu-
tions (OSFI), toughened up the
rules for uninsured mortgages in
early 2018. Homebuyers with a
down payment of at least 20 per
cent must now pass a stress test
to prove they can afford loan pay-
ments if their mortgage rate rises.
Although there continue to be
howls of self-serving protest from
the real estate industry, tighten-
ing the rules was the right thing
to do. Trouble is, the Liberals’
housing policies will undoubted-
ly undermine some of the pro-
gress OSFI has made.
Although the Liberals an-
nounced no plans to fiddle with
the stress test itself, they are
pushing ahead with a first-time
homebuyer incentive that’s
nothing short of irresponsible.
The Liberal plan is reckless. It
will only drive up demand in the
hottest markets, ultimately mak-
ing the affordability problem
worse, especially now that major
banks are introducing automated
loan approvals and mobile lend-
ing that promise a speedier appli-
cation process. The banks have
no reason to clamp down on in-
sured mortgages, in particular;
their government-backing makes
them risk free.
It’s not the federal govern-
ment’s job to put people in
houses they cannot afford. The
CMHC incentive should be
scrapped. In addition, Ottawa
should take some leadership on
the housing file by urging the
provinces to stamp out risks in
the alternative-lending market.
The new Liberal government
will have to juggle competing ec-
onomic priorities. Stoking fires in
the housing market shouldn’t be
one of them.

Singh sees major losses in Quebec
Early results Monday
show the NDP in danger
of losing most of its
seats in the province
ANN HUI TORONTO
JANICE DICKSON BURNABY, B.C.
Jagmeet Singh, the rookie to fed-
eral politics who rose to leader of
the NDP by promising to build a
movement of young and racial-
ized voters, saw a disappointing
showing in Quebec on Monday,
with early results reflecting what
looked to be a near-complete
collapse of support in the prov-
ince.
Early results Monday evening
showed the Liberals forming
government with the New Dem-
ocratic Party in danger of losing
most of its 11 seats in Quebec –
and the gains it had made there
during the 2011 orange wave – to
the resurging Bloc Québécois.
By all accounts, the 2019 elec-
tion looked like it would be a
challenging one for Mr. Singh.
In the weeks leading up to the
start of the campaign, with the
NDP polling in fourth and some-
times fifth place among the fed-
eral parties, many pundits were
already speculating Mr. Singh
would not be long as party lead-
er. But by mid-campaign, Mr.
Singh appeared to have turned
things around and throughout
this week, appeared to be on the
verge of a comeback.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh hoists an orange after thanking his campaign office staff in Burnaby, B.C., on Monday. Mr. Singh initially had difficulty gaining a national profile after waiting
18 months to run in a by-election in Burnaby South to finally gain a seat in Parliament. NATHAN DENETTE/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Bernier and the PPC face a letdown with zero seats won
PATRICK WHITE
The country has rejected its first
offering of modern right-wing
populism at the federal level, de-
nying Maxime Bernier and his
People’s Party of Canada a single
seat in Parliament.
Mr. Bernier was projected to
lose Beauce, the Quebec riding
he’d held since 2006, with voters
favouring Conservative Richard
Lehoux. The party’s share of the
popular vote stood at just 1 per
cent as early polls began rolling
in from Quebec and Ontario.
The results amounted to a let-
down for a fledgling party that,
in its earliest stages, threatened
to steal substantial numbers of
voters from the Conservatives,
the party Mr. Bernier had served
under for 12 years and nearly led.
In 2017, he lost a close lead-
ership contest to Andrew Scheer.
Tapped as the party’s innovation
critic, he refused to hide his dis-
pleasure with the party’s posi-
FE D E R A L E L EC T I O N 2 0 1 9
Still, early results Monday saw
Mr. Singh falling behind the Bloc,
and raising questions about the
NDP’s future in the province.
The 2011 orange wave that saw
Jack Layton’s NDP propelled into
official opposition owed in large
part to a breakthrough in Que-
bec, and winning 59 of the 75
seats available in the province.
That dropped to 16 in 2015 under
Tom Mulcair. After Monday,
those gains made in Quebec dis-
solved almost completely. Early
results showed the NDP leading
or elected in just a handful of rid-
ings.
According to Brad Lavigne, a
former NDP campaign director
who spoke with The Globe and
Mail ahead of Monday night’s re-
sults, the Quebec results this
time around were an anomaly –
the result of the Bloc Québécois
mobilizing support from Que-
beckers seeking to protect Bill 21,
a provincial law that would pro-
hibit religious symbols from
much of the public service.
The Quebec bill emerged as a
key campaign issue this election,
with Mr. Singh – who is Sikh and
wears a turban – left scrambling
to navigate the sensitive issue,
and in a manner that avoided
alienating Quebeckers, many of
whom support the bill. While Mr.
Singh has said that he personally
opposes Bill 21, that he would
not intervene in a legal chal-
lenge.
“I think the Bloc were success-
ful in getting Quebec voters to
kind of retreat to a message
tions under Mr. Scheer, even
penning an unreleased book that
accused “fake conservatives” af-
filiated with the dairy lobby of
tilting the leadership race in Mr.
Scheer’s favour. In tweets, he
ramped up his anti-immigration
rhetoric and warned of “extreme
multiculturalism.”
The statements led Mr. Scheer
to strip Mr. Bernier of his critic
portfolio. On the first day of the
2018 Conservative policy conven-
tion in Halifax, the former lead-
ership contender announced he
was leaving the party and un-
leashed a scathing attack against
Mr. Scheer.
“I am now convinced that
what we will get if Andrew
Scheer becomes prime minister
is just a more moderate version
of the disastrous Trudeau gov-
ernment,” he said, in an announ-
cement that upstaged the con-
vention.
One early poll suggested 17 per
cent of Canadian voters would
consider backing the party. His
whereby Quebeckers on the is-
sue of identity feel the need to,
as Mr. Blanchet said, ‘stick to-
gether,’” Mr. Lavigne said.
And Marie Della Mattia, a spe-
cial adviser to Mr. Singh on the
campaign, said that the more
Quebeckers saw Mr. Singh on the
campaign trail, the more they
liked him. “
Mr. Singh took the helm of the
party in 2017, after serving as
deputy leader of the Ontario
NDP. He had no federal experi-
ence and struggled to unite a
party left deeply divided after a
disappointing showing in the
2015 election and the ousting of
former leader Mr. Mulcair.
He took over a federal party
deeply in debt, and his initial
performance failed to inspire
new fundraising. The NDP’s an-
nual return in September
showed the party ended last year
$4.5-million in the red. Mean-
while, he had difficulty gaining a
national profile after waiting 18
months to run in a by-election in
Burnaby South and finally gain-
ing a seat in Parliament.
He also struggled to maintain
the support of his caucus. By the
start of the campaign in Septem-
ber, 11 caucus members had an-
nounced their intentions not to
run again. While his opponents
criss-crossed the country each
day on the campaign trail, Mr.
Singh and the NDP’s diminished
campaign war chest was left hav-
ing to spend much of his cam-
paign travelling by bus. As such,
he focused much of his time on
policy positions on an array of
issues drew comparisons with
Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders,
Matteo Salvini and other Europe-
an populists who’ve parlayed an-
ti-immigrant, anti-liberal views
into sizable support.
Three party founders were
found to have ties to white
supremacists groups and
several candidates were
outed for racist or sexist
social-media posts, feeding
the perception of his party
as a haven for right-wing
fringe elements.
But such a bloc never materi-
alized for Mr. Bernier. Early en-
thusiasm melted once voters got
better acquainted with the party
and its candidates.
Three party founders were
found to have ties to white su-
premacists groups and several

battleground provinces, skipping
Prince Edward Island, Alberta,
Newfoundland and Labrador,
and the North, where the NDP
prospects were slim.
The first turning point for the
NDP came a week into the elec-
tion, after the revelation that Mr.
Trudeau had repeatedly dressed
in brownface and blackface be-
fore entering politics. The calm
and measured response demon-
strated by Mr. Singh – the first
racialized leader of a federal par-
ty in Canada – won him wide-
spread praise. Rather than crit-
icize Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Singh fo-
cused his attention on racialized
communities and the effects the
image might have on them.
“When the brownface, black-
face stuff was breaking, I remem-
ber saying that Canadians were
very fortunate to have a racial-
ized party leader in that mo-
ment,” said Melanee Thomas, a
University of Calgary associate
professor of political science.
“Mr. Singh’s contributions really
changed the content and the
tone about how Canadians were
interpreting that.”
And in the main English-lan-
guage leaders’ debate in October,
Mr. Singh surprised many with a
strong performance. More than
once, he took advantage of Mr.
Trudeau and Mr. Scheer talking
over one another to calmly in-
tervene.
At campaign stops, he ap-
peared comfortable and confi-
dent. Many of these interactions
were captured and circulated
candidates were outed for racist
or sexist social-media posts,
feeding the perception of his par-
ty as a haven for right-wing
fringe elements.
His policies failed to garner
much enthusiasm either. His
pledges to phase out of supply
management in the dairy sector,
withdraw from climate change
agreements, slash immigration
levels, cancel equalization pay-
ments and defund CBC drew lit-
tle support. Polling over the last
five months showed his national
support rarely broke 3 per cent.
Amid flagging support, the
party received a mid-campaign
lifeline from the commission
overseeing official debates when
it ruled that Mr. Bernier could
participate in both French and
English debates, a decision that
placed Mr. Bernier alongside the
major party leaders before mil-
lions of potential voters.
His performance, however, did
little to win over new voters,
with just 3 per cent of viewers of

widely on social media, winning
him new support, especially
among young people.
By the final week of the cam-
paign, the momentum Mr. Singh
was gaining was reflected by the
growing crowds at his rallies. At
his campaign appearances in On-
tario, Quebec and British Colum-
bia, he commanded audiences of
between 500 and 1,000 people,
who cheered on the leader as he
danced onstage.
In the absence of a strong
showing Monday night, many
predicted Mr. Singh might follow
in Mr. Mulcair’s footsteps. Mr.
Mulcair was ousted after just one
election. But based on his per-
formance on the campaign trail,
Prof. Thomas said, Mr. Singh is
most likely secure.
“He’s really silenced the critics
in the party,” she said. “His lead-
ership – where it was threatened
before the campaign, I think he’s
not only saved it, but forcefully
strengthened it.”
Mr. Lavigne, too, said the party
remains firmly behind Mr.
Singh’s leadership. He predicted
that Quebec, too, will eventually
come around.
“Let’s not forget that Jack Lay-
ton had 2004, 2006 and 2008. He
had three election campaigns
prior to him making that break-
through,” he said. “When you
take a look at the inroads that
Mr. Singh made in that province,
the crowds and the rallies, the
connection he made – Quebec
has not seen the last of Jagmeet
Singh.”
the English debate considering
him the victor, according to one
poll.
In the final days of the race,
The Globe reported that a firm
run by former Liberal adviser
Warren Kinsella had been hired
to “seek and destroy” Mr. Bernier
and his party. Mr. Scheer refused
to say if his party had hired Mr.
Kinsella.
In response to the story, Mr.
Bernier filed a complaint with
Elections Canada. “This is the
kind of dirty politics that fuels
Canadians’ cynicism about poli-
tics,” he said.
In a Twitter post on Monday,
Mr. Bernier thanked his support-
ers and continued his attacks the
other parties.
“You can choose one of the
morally and intellectually cor-
rupt parties that spent the cam-
paign buying votes and throwing
mud at the others,” he wrote. “Or
a party proposing sound policies
based on freedom, responsibility,
fairness and respect.”

Any gains made by Greens

considered victory for the party
Leader May finds cause
to celebrate, despite not
reaching goal of holding
balance of power in
a minority Parliament
JUSTINE HUNTER VICTORIA
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May
arrived at her party’s headquar-
ters on Monday night when the
party was leading in just one seat
in New Brunswick – and it was
enough to cheer.
Ms. May’s hope was to end the
day holding the balance of power
in a minority Parliament – an ob-
jective that cannot be engi-
neered. But as the results came in
indicating a minority govern-
ment, any gains made by the
Greens will be seen as a victory for
a party that has long fought to
shed the image of a one-person
party.
Ms. May worked the room of
supporters with the comfort of
someone who is not staking her
political future on the outcome –
she had effectively given her no-
tice before the ballots were count-
ed. Win, lose or draw, she said, the
party would have to find a new
leader after this election.
This was Ms. May’s fourth elec-
tion campaign as leader of the
Greens and it began, as it always
does, with great expectations for
a breakthrough.
Ms. May’s relationship with
Canadian voters has been a dance
with a commitment-phobic part-
ner. Between elections, her party
enjoys popular support that
ought to translate into opposition
party status, and her leadership
approval ratings are strong. But at
the altar, when the time comes
for voters to mark their ballots,
that affection evaporates.
Since her own electoral break-
through in 2011 as Canada’s first
Green MP, Ms. May’s party has

added just one seat.
The Greens had cause to be op-
timistic this year, despite the par-
ty’s failed campaigns of the past.
Since the previous federal elec-
tion in 2015, Greens have made
electoral inroads across the coun-
try, winning seats in four provin-
cial parliaments. That demon-
strates that Greens are electable,
and not a wasted vote.
Climate action emerged as a
top ballot-box issue – a natural
advantage for the party that has
built its platform around a plan
that aims to wean Canada off fos-
sil fuels faster than any of the oth-
er parties.
And the field of competition
seemed to offer opportunity. Jag-
meet Singh’s NDP began the cam-
paign mired in doubts, the Liber-
als’ Justin Trudeau had displayed
ethical lapses and Andrew Scheer
of the Conservatives had not es-
tablished his presence. The
Greens offered a home for disaf-
fected voters of all stripes.
The battle was always between
the NDP and Greens, fighting for
third-party status.
While Mr. Singh exceeded ex-
pectations, Ms. May’s campaign
suffered some self-inflicted
wounds.
The Greens’ platform appealed
to those voters who seek social
justice, as much as fiscal conser-
vatives. The NDP used that broad
appeal as a weapon, warning pro-
gressive voters that the Greens
were ready to combine forces
with the Conservatives to take
Canada backward on issues of so-
cial policy.
Despite what the party de-
scribed as a “robust” vetting proc-
ess, Ms. May struggled with disci-
pline among the party’s nominat-
ed candidates. Mid-campaign, the
Greens had to conduct a second
round of vetting after a string of
embarrassing incidents was
raised about candidates who es-
poused anti-abortion views, sep-
aratist ambitions, anti-Israel po-
sitions and anti-Muslim senti-
ments. One candidate was drop-
ped after advising voters to vote
NDP.
The Greens also faced ques-
tions about the way they are gov-
erned. Ms. May says she is only a
spokesperson for the party and
any members of a Green caucus
would be unwhipped in Parlia-
mentary votes. That opens them
up to questions about the values
the party stands for.
Could anti-abortion Green MPs
vote in Parliament to reopen a de-
bate on access to abortion, she
was asked? Instead of dismissing
the question as hypothetical, Ms.
May gave one of her unscripted
and nuanced answers – and then
spent the rest of the campaign in-
sisting her party would never un-
dermine a woman’s right to
choose.
The party’s strength was its
ambitious plan to tackle climate
action.
“It’s a climate referendum,”
Ms. May told reporters on Mon-
day morning. She said this elec-
tion will determine whether Can-
adians actually want action on
the threat of catastrophic climate
change – by voting Green – or if
they are just pretending to care.
But the Greens were selling
their plan in a crowded field: Ev-
eryone wanted in on the action
now that voters were concerned
about the issue.
Canadian voters have been
told for decades that they can
have it all – an economy that re-
lies on increasing sales of fossil
fuels as well as climate leader-
ship, she noted, and persuading
them that is not the case is not
easy.
Ms. May needed to convince
Canadians that this was the elec-
tion where they needed to make
some hard choices.

A minority would leave Liberals Wilson-Raybould,

facing tough talks on Trans Mountain
IAN BAILEY VANCOUVER
Shortly after polls closed across
Canada, voters had elected a Lib-
eral government. It was not clear
whether that would be a minor-
ity or majority.
If is is a minority, it would be a
scenario with major consequenc-
es for British Columbia, given the
fate of a notable energy project.
Political scientist Hamish Tel-
ford said a Liberal government
dependent on the support of the
NDP and the Greens would face
tough talks over the fate of the
Trans Mountain pipeline expan-
sion.
Prof. Telford said Prime Minis-
ter Justin Trudeau will find it
challenging to capitulate on a
project he has already approved
twice and purchased.
“It could well end up being a
deal-breaker,” Prof. Telford said,
although the other parties might
seek some other concessions on
climate change, such as more
ambitious targets or ramping up
the carbon tax faster than is cur-
rently planned.
When asked how Mr. Trudeau
would have to conduct himself if
he only won a minority, Prof. Tel-
ford said, “He is going to have to
be more skillful in how he leads
his government, and search for
compromises to get legislation
through Parliament, and be less
ideologically strident.
“He will have to listen more
carefully to his critics,” he said.
“In the areas where Liberals had
support and lost it, he’s going to
have to consider the opposition
with a greater degree of sensitiv-
ity than he perhaps had.”
But compromise will not al-
ways work, he said. “In some
cases, there is going to be no sat-
isfying people.”
In the 2015 election, the Liber-
als won 17 of B.C.’s 42 seats, up
from two in 2011. The Conserva-
tives lost 11 seats, ending up with
10. The NDP won 14 seats, up
from 12 in 2011. Green Party Lead-
er Elizabeth May won in the Van-
couver Island riding of Saanich-
Gulf Islands.
At dissolution, there were 17
Liberals in B.C., eight Conserva-
tive MPs, 12 members of the NDP,
two members of the Green Party,
one independent and two seats
vacant.
The Lower Mainland The Lower Mainland region of

as one of the litically competitive regions in

the major-party leaders. In the
competitive regions last weekend of the campaign,

regular stop for the ea to make closing arguments to
major-party leaders. voters.
According to a Globe and Mail
analysis, B.C. ranked third behind
Ontario and Quebec as a stop for
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau
and Conservative Leader Andrew
Scheer, and second behind Onta-
rio as a stop for NDP Leader Jag-
meet Singh.
Ms. May visited the province 32
times during the campaign,
more, by far, than any other prov-
ince or territory. The province
was home to the Green’s two in-
cumbents, herself in Saanich-
Gulf Islands, and Paul Manly in
Nanaimo-Ladysmith. By compar-
ison, Ms. May went to Ontario
seven times and Quebec six
times.
Major issues in B.C. included
the Trans Mountain pipeline
from Alberta.
Parties also faced questions
over their support for transit ex-
pansion in light of major projects
in the works in the Vancouver re-
gion. Among other issues were
soaring housing costs, in the Van-
couver area in particular, and an
opioid-overdose crisis.
Three of the major national
political leaders have strong po-
litical and personal ties to B.C.
Similar to Ms. May, Mr. Singh is
an incumbent in the province:
He won Burnaby South in a by-
election earlier this year.
Mr. Trudeau has spoken of B.C.
as a second home. His mother’s
family is from B.C. and he relocat-
ed to the province, where he
worked as a snowboard instruc-
tor and, eventually, a teacher.
One of three cases where Mr. Tru-
deau was seen in racist images
occurred while he was attending
a gala for the west-side Vancouv-
er school where he worked as a
drama teacher.
The Liberal leader’s younger
brother, Michel, died in a hiking
accident in the B.C. Interior.
Mr. Trudeau also regularly va-
cations in the province.
Noormohamed vying
for Vancouver Granville
NANCY MACDONALD VANCOUVER
The woman who placed Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau in
the crosshairs of a bruising political scandal that dramat-
ically slashed at his majority was still hoping to win her
riding at press time. Independent candidate Jody Wilson-
Raybould was vying to beat Liberal candidate Taleeb Noor-
mohamed in Vancouver Granville, the riding she won com-
fortably in 2015 with 44 per cent of the vote. But at 10:45
p.m., the votes were still being counted.
Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s expulsion from the Liberal caucus
over the SNC-Lavalin scandal prompted a slide in the polls
for the Liberals that continued until election day.
After her ousting, Ms. Wilson-Raybould received an out-
pouring of support from people across the country. She be-
came “a symbol for Canadians who are looking for a differ-
ent sort of politics,” her former chief of staff, Jessica Prince
says.
In spring, when Ms. Wilson-Raybould returned to Van-
couver for the first time after the scandal, many of her con-
stituents approached her with tears in their eyes. In “telling
the truth,” she sacrificed “everything,” says retiree John
Moody, a resident of Mount Pleasant.
“She knew her job and the law, and what’s right and that’s
more important than being beholden to anyone.” For
months afterward, she said, people would come to her to
tell her what she meant to them.
Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s older sister, Kory Wilson – who
looks so much like Ms. Wilson-Raybould that people still
confuse them – says her sibling is nothing if not stubborn.
She recalls watching her compete at a Victoria swim meet
when they were kids. In an early lap, her sister cut open her
heel doing a flip kick off the pool wall. Badly injured, she
kept swimming.
“When she finished the race and climbed out of the pool,
she was just gushing blood,” Ms. Wilson says. “But that’s
Jody.”
That is not unlike how she left the Liberal caucus: bloody
but unbowed. On May 27, she announced her plan to run as
an Independent.
“To throw in the towel, when the going got tough, so to
speak, would send entirely the wrong message to those peo-
ple,” says Ms. Prince.
Ms. Wilson-Raybould cast her ballot yesterday in the
worn gymnasium of Vancouver’s Simon Fraser Elementary.
She wore a white scarf, signifying her political neutrality,
and a navy blue, Danish modern style raincoat whose
sleeves were rolled at the forearm. Inside, her booming bari-
tone laugh echoed round the empty gymnasium.
That’s the side of Ms. Wilson-Raybould the public never
got to see – how much fun she can be, Ms. Prince says. “She
loves to joke around and have fun with those around her.”
As far as regrets go, Ms. Wilson-Raybould says she has
none. What SNC reinforced in her is “how incredibly proud I
am to come from an Indigenous community and have a
worldview that puts community first, and ensures that in
order to maintain that community, one has to act with prin-
ciple, with integrity, and to always tell the truth,” she says. “I
went to Ottawa to try to create space for Indigenous peoples
to be self-governing, and to change the way politics was
done,” she says. “What I learned is that Ottawa can learn a
great deal about community and laws and institutions from
Indigenous peoples.”

Alberta rejects Liberals, turns to Tories
Voters in Prairie
province have felt
ignored by parties
throughout campaign
JUSTIN GIOVANNETTI CALGARY
Albertans led a rejection of Liber-
al Leader Justin Trudeau by vot-
ers across the Prairie provinces,
exposing a deep well of resent-
ment with Ottawa that the next
federal government will need to
confront.
Early results showed the Con-
servatives set to win a series of
resounding victories across Al-
berta on Monday, with voters
turning in droves to a party that
has long-standing support in the
province. Only four years ago, the
Liberals achieved their largest
breakthrough in decades, win-
ning four seats in Alberta’s large-
st cities.
Voters across Alberta felt ig-
nored by the federal parties dur-
ing the election campaign, in-
cluding by Conservative Leader
Andrew Scheer, who avoided
talking about oil and gas devel-
opment with voters in other re-
gions of the country.
The rallying cry of the “West
Wants In” that united Albertans
during the eighties and nineties
has been replaced by anxiety
over the province’s place in Cana-
da.
The election has been a time of
heightened emotions in Alberta,
amplified by continuing delays to
pipeline construction. Years of
economic pain has inflamed re-
sentment across the Prairie prov-
inces, a region that has a long his-
tory of feeling exploited by the
country’s political elite in Toron-
to and Montreal. Tens of thou-
sands remain out of work in Al-
berta and the province has yet to
fully recover from a recession
Liberal minority leaves questions unanswered for oil and gas industry
KELLY
CRYDERMAN
OPINION
I
n all the possible election out-
comes, the uncertain one is
what downtown Calgary had
most feared.
The Liberals have taken the
most seats in Monday’s federal
election. As of late Monday, it ap-
peared it would be a minority
government.
It might take days or weeks to
know what shape a government
in Ottawa will actually take. In re-
cent weeks, the election-day re-
sult that elicited the most fear in
downtown Calgary was a Liberal
minority supported by the NDP,
the Green Party or even the Bloc
Québécois. In any of these scena-
rios, the Liberals will be support-
ed by parties that don’t want any
new oil pipelines built.
In Alberta, questions about
whether pipeline projects to U.S.
and global markets ever get built
have been a drag on the econo-
my and attracting investment.
Now, the province might have to
live with even more ambiguity
Forget foreign interference. We can mess up our election on our own, thanks

OPINION
T
he warnings seemed dire.
In July, two months before
the federal election cam-
paign officially kicked off, Buzz-
Feed News and the Toronto Star
reported that Canada’s Commu-
nications Security Establishment
had identified foreign elements
who were attempting to influen-
ce voters. After Russian meddling
in the 2016 U.S. presidential elec-
tion, was Canada next to fall vic-
tim to a co-ordinated campaign
of misinformation and toxic
chaos?
Well, the joke is on those for-
eign elements! Because it turns
out that we Canadians are quite
capable of messing up our infor-
mation ecosystem all on our
own. Here’s some of what we
learned on our way to the polls:

that ended in 2016. Some econo-
mists have warned that Alberta’s
economy may have slipped into a
mild contraction this year.
In the few instances Alberta
has come up in the election cam-
paign, debate has been limited to
whether the expansion of the
Trans Mountain pipeline should
continue. The pipeline’s federal
supporters in the Liberal and
Conservative parties have been
largely muted while New Demo-
crat and Green opponents have
loudly pledged to stop the pipe.
Many Albertans have grown
skeptical the expansion will ever
be built.
Alberta has also lost a regional
ally in British Columbia as that
province’s NDP government has
about its biggest industry.
“I’ve never seen so much angst
about an election outcome,” says
energy sector stalwart Rick Or-
man, who has also been involved
in Alberta conservative politics
since the early days of Peter
Lougheed’s government.
Alberta stands in contrast to
much of the rest of the country.
The province’s economy has
been at a low ebb for five years.
Canada’s oil and gas industry has
seen tens of billions of U.S. for-
eign-company divestitures. Here,
voters were more likely to cast a
ballot with energy policy and the
economy as their driving con-
cern. A vast majority of Alber-
tans believe the Trans Mountain
pipeline expansion should go
ahead.
According to ATB Financial,
Alberta’s economic outlook will
only improve in 2020 if a number
of happy circumstances come to
be, including that pipeline issues
are resolved – meaning projects
actually get built.
The Liberal government did
buy the Trans Mountain pipeline
and expansion project. But there
is deep skepticism about the Lib-
erals’ commitment to the oil sec-
Harper’s 2015 playbook, when
the Conservative leader limited
media travelling with him to five
questions a day, Liberal Leader
Justin Trudeau spent the first few
days of the 2019 campaign sim-
ply not taking any questions. He
also failed to show at the first (al-
beit unofficial) English-language
debate, and ignored an invitation
from the Munk Debates to partic-
ipate in a foreign-policy debate.
SOMETIMES, FOREIGN
INTERFERENCE IS A GOOD THING
For the first week, it looked as if
the campaign was going to be a
sleeper. Then, on Sept. 18, New
York-based Time magazine drop-
ped a bombshell, reporting that
Mr. Trudeau had worn brownface
to a 2001 Arabian Nights gala for
West Point Grey Academy, when
he was a 29-year-old teacher.
The dam broke: That evening,
Mr. Trudeau told reporters he al-
so wore blackface as part of a
high-school talent show per-
formance of the Jamaican folk
ditty, Banana Boat Song (a.k.a.
Day-O). The following day, Global
News published a grainy video

MAYBE WE SHOULDN’T HAVE
AS MANY DEBATE MODERATORS
AS NATIONAL PARTY LEADERS
How nice are we Canadians? The
only official English-language de-
bate was a tire fire in part be-
cause organizers thought it was
more important to include a
moderator from each of the
sponsoring media organizations.
Some were fine, others really not
so. And the free-for-all segments,
in which the leaders simply
yelled accusations over each oth-
er, felt like a preschool play date
where someone forgot to bring
the juice boxes.

RUN EVERYTHING

opposed any new pipelines to the
Pacific.
Separatist sentiment, still con-
fined to the political fringes, is in-
creasing in popularity and dis-
placing the long-time grievance
of Western alienation. The focus
in the campaign and during the
one English debate on more ag-
gressive climate change policies,
to the detriment of the province’s
energy industry, has fuelled a
groundswell of anger from cor-
porate Calgary to small-town Le-
gion halls.
“In past elections there was a
conversation about economic
prosperity and environmental
sustainability. It’s now become a
question of only doing one, there
is no talk of balancing both from
tor, with many in the industry re-
membering Justin Trudeau’s
comment “We can’t shut down
the oil sands tomorrow. We need
to phase them out.”
Green Party Leader Elizabeth
May wants the oil sands shut
down in a decade. Mr. Singh, who
didn’t visit Alberta once during
the election campaign, said he is
“fully opposed to Trans Moun-
tain.” The only sign of his wa-
vering on that position is his
leaving a cancellation of the
twinning project off a list of de-
mands for supporting a Liberal
minority government in the
House of Commons.
The alienation in Alberta is
clear. And now there’s increased
talk of a some kind of separatist
push, with some of the loudest
voices in the fledgling movement
separation coming from execu-
tives. In recent days, PressPro-
gress wrote about Whitecap Re-
sources chief executive officer
Grant Fagerheim asking employ-
ees to share an anonymous letter
that warns of “Alberta separa-
tion” if a Conservative govern-
ment isn’t elected.

as Mr. Fagerheim’s to pop up. Jim

JOURNALISTS SHOULDN’T
SUE THE PEOPLE THEY’RE
COVERING (DUH)
Less than two weeks before the
end of the campaign, the CBC’s
legal department filed suit
against the Conservative Party to
prevent its use of a few snippets
of news coverage in a partisan
mash-up ad. Worse, the CBC’s
high-profile anchor Rosemary
Barton and parliamentary re-
porter J.P. Tasker were part of the
suit, until blowback prompted
them to withdraw their names.
The campaign may be over, but
you can bet the Conservative
Party – which sent a fundraising
e-mail to supporters shortly after
the news of the suit broke – will
have a long memory.

any leader. It’s been really frus-
trating,” said Martha Hall Findlay,
president of the Canada West
Foundation and a former Liberal
MP.
Melanee Thomas, a political
scientist at the University of Cal-
gary, said she’s worried Albertans
have been primed to believe any
outcome that doesn’t meet their
wishes, namely a Conservative
majority, won’t be a legitimate
democratic outcome. Pollsters
have predicted that the Conser-
vatives could sweep the prov-
ince’s 34 ridings.
“There’s this narrative in Al-
berta that if you’re not with us,
you’re against us, and it’s being
expressed through partisan affil-
iations,” she said.
Despite running a successful
campaign in 2015 that saw his
party capture four seats in the
province, Mr. Trudeau has been
deeply unpopular in Alberta and
many blame him for the prov-
ince’s economic woes. Many Al-
bertans in daily conversation
bring up their belief that the Tru-
deau government’s $4.5-billion
purchase of Trans Mountain was
motivated by a desire to block
the pipeline’s expansion, a stroke
of counterintuitive logic and
deep cynicism that has left many
Liberal supporters shaking their
heads.
The federal leaders have large-
ly stayed clear of the province.
Mr. Trudeau visited Edmonton
on the second day of the cam-
paign and held a late-night event
near Calgary’s airport on Satur-
day. Mr. Scheer visited both of the
province’s largest cities and
Green Leader Elizabeth May at-
tended a climate protest in Cal-
gary.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh,
whose party does not support the
Trans Mountain project and is at
odds with the provincial NDP on
this issue, didn’t set foot in the
province during the campaign.
Davidson, the former vice-chair-
man of GMP FirstEnergy, and a
key fundraiser for Alberta Pre-
mier Jason Kenney, says in his
circles, talk of separation is not
as outlandish as it once was.
“Everybody has a breaking
point,” Mr. Davidson says.
Mr. Kenney has called the no-
tion of separation “irrational.”
But more and more “powerful
people” in Calgary are going to
disagree with him, given these
kind of election results, Mr. Da-
vidson says.
Lower global oil prices, the
movement of capital to jurisdic-
tions where oil is easier to ex-
tract, and the world’s growing
global concern about the effects
of climate change are all some of
the reasons why investors are
cutting their exposure to the oil
sands.
But in that tougher environ-
ment, there are still some items
in the realm of what Canada can
actually control, specifically ac-
cess to global markets by tanker
or pipeline.
And on those fronts, it’s un-
likely that anyone in the oil and
gas industry will feel good about
Monday’s federal election results.
Sun columnist Warren Kinsella,
who runs the Daisy Group com-
munications consultancy,
breathlessly amplified a baseless
allegation about Mr. Trudeau,
suggesting The Globe and Mail
was going to report the Liberal
Leader had left his teaching posi-
tion because of an affair. Ezra Le-
vant of Rebel Media jumped in,
tweeting: “Huge sex scandal
brewing for Justin Trudeau.”
When The Globe story didn’t ma-
terialize – because there wasn’t
one – Mr. Kinsella continued to
beat the drum on Twitter, feed-
ing a conspiracy that suggested
the Liberals had obtained an in-
junction to stop its publication.
The story hopped the border,
seized on and embellished by the
Buffalo Chronicle, a website that
traffics in disinformation.
Two weeks later came a Globe
story that Mr. Kinsella probably
enjoyed a lot less: that the Con-
servative Party had hired his
company to secretly kneecap the
People’s Party of Canada. After a
storm of criticism, Mr. Kinsella
deactivated his Twitter account
over the weekend. Thank heaven
for small mercies.

 Our fight is too big for our hospital.
So they’re laying the foundation for a new one.
Today, we break ground for the SickKids Patient Support Centre,
the first phase of the new SickKids. This is thanks to donors who have
been with us from the ground up: the $1 million+ donors listed here,
and the Peter Gilgan family, whose visionary gift of $100 million in
June unlocked our ability to get to today. Shovels are in the ground.
A new SickKids rises. It would not be possible without the generosity
of our whole community – and donors like these. Join them:

Bloc surges, clinches official party status
After failing to obtain 12-seat
threshold in past two elections,
Blanchet is now in a position
to try to force Ottawa to
respect Quebec’s demands
DANIEL LEBLANC
PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS REPORTER
The Bloc Québécois has returned as a po-
litical force in the House of Commons,
with an electoral performance that will
give the opposition party a greater sway
over the legislative agenda in the next Par-
liament.
After failing to achieve official party sta-
tus in the last two general elections, the
Bloc rebounded on Monday and is now in
a position to try to force the next federal
government to respect the demands ex-
pressed by the Quebec government.
Throughout the election campaign, the
Bloc repeatedly said it would be a force to
be reckoned with in the event of the elec-
tion of a minority government.
As of 10:15 p.m., the Bloc had won or was
in the lead in more than 30 ridings in Que-
bec, compared with its haul of 10 seats in
the 2015 general election.
By contrast, the NDP was in the lead in
only a couple ridings in Quebec, confirm-
ing the party’s downfall in the province
since the 2011 Orange Wave.
Rhéal Fortin, first elected as a Bloc MP in
2015, said that having official party status
will make a world of difference for the par-
ty, including more speaking time in the
House, an official role on parliamentary
committees and a budget to hire staff and
fund a research bureau. He said the Bloc
will have greater powers to influence the
government’s legislative agenda and the
ability to challenge its decisions during
Question Period.
“It changes everything,” he said, adding
that status would allow the party to “offer
a better performance” and “deliver on our
commitments.”
Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet
won his seat in Beloeil-Chambly, to the
east of Montreal, in one of the ridings that
had gone to the NDP in the 2011 and 2015
general elections. A former provincial en-
vironment minister, Mr. Blanchet can be
expected to use his rhetorical skills to de-

Liberals maintain hold on key ridings in vote-rich Ontario
JILL MAHONEY
JEFF GRAY QUEEN’S PARK REPORTER
The Liberals hung onto their grip on vote-
rich Ontario, a province that was critical
to Leader Justin Trudeau’s ability to stay
in power.
Mr. Trudeau won the province while
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer failed
to pick up as many seats as he had hoped,
according to early election results. The
NDP did not see the gains they had hoped
for in Toronto, according to early results.
The party was shut out of the city in 2015.
The first declared winner of the night
came from rural Ontario, with long-time
Conservative MP Diane Finley maintain-
ing a strong hold on her Haldimand-Nor-
folk riding.
Liberal cabinet minister Kirsty Duncan
was set to win her Etobicoke North seat in
west Toronto, where People’s Party of
Canada challenger Renata Ford was trail-
ing. Ms. Ford, the widow of former Toron-
to mayor Rob Ford, had hoped to translate
the political power of her famous sur-

fend Quebec’s interests in Ottawa.
Mr. Blanchet capitalized on strong per-
formances during the campaign’s two
French-language debates, as well as his
ability to craft a platform that closely mir-
rored the agenda of the Quebec govern-
ment of François Legault.
Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe, the son of for-
mer Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe, was de-
clared the winner in the riding of Lac-St-
Jean.
The dean of the House of Commons,
Louis Plamondon, was re-elected and will
be chairing the election of the next Speak-
er. The Bloc MP was first elected in 1984 un-
der the Progressive Conservative banner.
The Bloc was known in its early days in
the 1990s as a defender of Quebec’s sover-
eignty movement on the federal stage and
an extension of the Parti Québécois in Ot-
tawa. However, the Bloc is now seen in-
creasingly as a party that will defend Que-
bec’s interests. A key point defended by
name into a win for the fledgling party.
At a downtown Toronto pub where a
group of provincial Progressive Conserva-
tives were taking in the results, cheers
erupted as television coverage showed the
federal Tories leading the Liberals in the
popular vote in Ontario in early returns.
Others watched anxiously as counts
continued to trickle in and some candi-
dates, including Conservative incumbent
Lisa Raitt in Milton, Ont., faced tight races
that were initially too close to call.
Ford government officials said the Pre-
mier’s Office would be issuing a statement
once the final results became clear. Mr.
Ford said last week he would work with
whomever won office in Ottawa.
During the 2015 election, the Liberals
won two-thirds of Ontario’s ridings and all
but a handful in the Greater Toronto Area.
With one-third of the country’s total
seats, Ontario was a critical election bat-
tleground for Mr. Trudeau, Conservative
Leader Andrew Scheer and NDP Leader
Jagmeet Singh. Both Mr. Trudeau and Mr.
Scheer spent part of the last weekend of
the campaign trying to solidify their sup-
Q TH E G LO B E AND M AIL
the Bloc is that the decision of the Quebec
government should be respected and not
challenged by the federal government.
Mario Beaulieu, a former Bloc leader
who ran for re-election in a riding in east-
ern Montreal, said the results point to a re-
surgence of nationalism in the province.
“We can feel that Quebec is waking up,”
he said.
As results started to come in after 9:30
ET, the crowd gathered at the Bloc’s elec-
tion night headquarters in Montreal
chanted the party’s election campaign slo-
gan: “We are Quebec.” As the evening went
on, the crowd started to chant: “We want a
country.”
The Liberals remain a force in Quebec,
but have lost ground to the Bloc. At the
start of the election campaign, the Liberal
Party was banking on making gains in
Quebec to offset any losses in the rest of
the country. However, Liberal Leader Jus-
tin Trudeau was placed on the defensive in
port in the suburbs outside Toronto.
The vast 905 region, known for its area
code, contains 30 ridings surrounding To-
ronto, from Burlington in the southwest
to Brampton in the northwest to Oshawa
in the east and Newmarket in the north.
The region has been a linchpin in recent
election victories, including Mr. Trudeau’s
in 2015 and Stephen Harper’s in 2011.
The Greater Toronto Area is often
where federal elections are won and lost.
The region has voted for the party that
formed government in every election but
one since Pierre Trudeau became prime
minister.
This time, the Conservatives had aimed
to regain the upper hand with voters in
the 905, targeting affordability issues and
highlighting the effect of Mr. Trudeau’s
carbon tax on gas prices. These suburbs
are among the areas where Canada’s near-
record household debt burdens are the
highest, as housing prices have soared
while incomes haven’t kept up.
However, the Conservatives were wary
of having their fortunes dragged down by
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, whose gov-

the province by stating that his govern-
ment could eventually challenge provin-
cial legislation that prevents some govern-
ment workers from wearing religious sym-
bols.
Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals took 40 seats in
Quebec in the previous election, well
ahead of the NDP at 16, the Conservatives
at 12 and the Bloc at 10. It was the second
time in a row that the Bloc failed to reach
the 12-seat threshold to obtain official par-
ty status in the House of Commons, after
being nearly wiped out by the NDP’s Or-
ange Wave in 2011.
A group of 18-year-olds at the Bloc’s
election-night headquarters said the cam-
paign highlighted how Quebec and the
rest of Canada are going in different direc-
tions when it comes to environmental and
energy issues.
“There are many sovereigntists among
members of our generation because Cana-
da is, in reality, an oil state,” Alexandre Va-
liquette said.
The Liberal government’s purchase of
the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion
project in Alberta and British Columbia
sealed the party’s fate in the eyes of Josiane
Paradis, who carried a Quebec flag to the
Bloc’s election-night gathering.
“I was proud to vote for a party that will
represent Quebec, my country,” she said.
In a television interview before results
in Quebec were announced, Mr. Blanchet
said the two French-language debates
were key to his party’s fortunes, but also
the Bloc’s ability to defend decisions made
by the Quebec government.
“A large number of Quebeckers have
adopted what we represent and it seemed
during the campaign that we could feel
more and more people rallying behind us,”
Mr. Blanchet said.
While the Bloc continues to be an offi-
cially sovereigntist party, the push for Que-
bec’s independence is no longer at the
heart of the party’s platform.
The Bloc’s key positions during the
campaign were support for Quebec’s law
banning some public servants from wear-
ing religious symbols and opposition to
pipeline projects across the country, in ad-
dition to calls for greater powers for the
Quebec government over immigration,
language and taxation. The party also ben-
efited from Mr. Blanchet’s steady leader-
ship and communication skills after years
of infighting in the party under previous
leaders.
ernment has faced a raft of controversies
over increased school class sizes, spend-
ing cuts to services and patronage scan-
dals.
Throughout the campaign, Mr. Trudeau
repeatedly invoked the Progressive Con-
servative Premier in an attempt to link his
unpopular policies to the federal Conser-
vatives. For his part, Mr. Scheer largely
avoided even uttering Mr. Ford’s name.
In what critics said was a clear attempt
to mitigate damage, the Ford government
put the Ontario Legislature on a five-
month break in June, with members not
due back until next week. The Premier
was absent from the campaign hustings
and made limited public appearances. His
government also walked back some of its
spending cuts and spent millions to avert
a provincewide school strike. By contrast,
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney did a swing
through the Greater Toronto Area to help
the Tories.
The Liberals dominated Ontario in
2015, winning 80 of its 121 seats. By con-
trast, the Conservatives elected 33 Ontario
MPs and the NDP just eight.

Election night’s biggest winners and losers

ERIC ANDREW-GEE
LOSER: POPULISM
Maxime Bernier founded the
People’s Party of Canada last
year after losing the 2017 Conser-
vative Party leadership to An-
drew Scheer, then resigning from
the party.
Calling his long-time political
home “intellectually and morally
corrupt,” the former industry
minister put right-wing spins on
cultural issues at the heart of his
new party’s message, calling for
an end to “extreme multicultu-
ralism.”
He and his party failed to
make much of an imprint in this
election, never rising above the
low single digits in polls.
WINNERS: INDEPENDENTS
Jane Philpott was a casualty of
the SNC-Lavalin affair. She re-
signed from cabinet in March to
support her friend and col-
league, Jody Wilson-Raybould,
and was then kicked out of the
Liberal caucus for saying she
lacked confidence in the govern-
ment’s handling of the scandal.
Until her ejection, Ms. Philpott
was widely seen as one of the
strongest members of the Tru-
deau cabinet, where she served
as minister of health and Indige-
nous services before a brief stint
as president of the Treasury
Board.
Both she and Ms. Wilson-Ray-
bould took the rare step of run-
ning for re-election as Independ-
ents. Local polling suggested
tight races in both ridings, sur-
prising observers who expected
them to flounder.
LOSER: NATIONAL UNITY
After years in the wilderness, the
separatist Bloc Québécois will
again have a major presence in
Ottawa under leader Yves-Fran-
çois Blanchet.
The party was crushed in 2011,
losing 43 of its 47 seats as the
NDP surged in Quebec, and bare-
ly rebounded in 2015.
But Quebec’s Bill 21 seems to
have reinvigorated the party. The
provincial law bans some mem-
bers of the public service from
wearing religious clothing such
as turbans or hijabs.
Critics say it violates religious
freedom, while defenders call it a
way to strengthen official secu-
larism. The law has become a ral-
lying point for the Bloc, which,
like most Quebec francophones,
supports it.
In a recent national
survey, the Environics
Institute found that a
majority in Alberta and
Saskatchewan believe
they get so little out of
Confederation that they
might as well leave.
Meanwhile, the Prairies
formed their own sort of bloc.
Frustration over Liberal environ-
mental policies hurt the govern-
ing party in a heavily rural re-
gion with an economy hitched to
fossil fuels. Some observers have
linked anti-Liberal sentiment in
the Prairies with nascent provin-
cial separatism: In a recent na-
tional survey, the Environics In-
stitute found that a majority in
Alberta and Saskatchewan be-
lieve they get so little out of Con-
federation that they might as
well leave.
WINNER: ENVIRONMENTALISM
The Greens had high hopes go-
ing into this campaign, with cli-
mate change high on the nation-
al agenda and the NDP looking
rudderless.
Leader Elizabeth May even
mused about holding the bal-
ance of power in a minority gov-
ernment situation (as the Greens
do in the B.C. Legislature).
Green support peaked in late
September, according to the Na-
nos-Globe-CTV tracking poll, be-
fore Jagmeet Singh and the NDP
rebounded.
Still, the race has boosted the
party’s profile to unprecedented
heights, aided by a global climate
strike that coincided with the
campaign. What’s more, Jenica
Atwin, a researcher for a First Na-
tions education organization,
won the riding of Fredericton,
the party’s first pick-up in Atlan-
tic Canada.
LOSER: THE ORANGE WAVE
Ruth Ellen Brosseau seemed to
be an orange holdout Monday
night. The MP for Berthier-Mas-
kinongé was already a rare ves-
tige of the NDP surge that gave
the party 59 of Quebec’s 75 seats
in 2011. As a largely unilingual
anglophone and bartender who
was vacationing in Las Vegas at
the time of the election, Ms.
Brosseau was the most vivid
symbol of the party’s disorient-
ing breakthrough in the prov-
ince.
The condescending nickname
“Vegas Girl” followed her into
Parliament.
But the single mother was a
surprise star performer in the
Commons and in her riding,
where she mastered French and
became well versed on agricultu-
ral issues.
Her party’s fortunes in Quebec
have plummeted, though.
The NDP salvaged 16 seats in
the province in 2015, but Mr.
Singh, a turban-wearing Sikh,
faced headwinds in a province
where such religious clothing
has become politically conten-
tious.

Liberals hold much

of Atlantic region as NDP,
Greens break through
GREG MERCER HALIFAX

The Liberals conceded ground across Atlantic Canada, but

held much of the region as the Green Party broke through
with a historic win in Fredericton.
Four years ago, the Liberals swept across the east in a
surging red tide, winning all of the region’s 32 seats – captur-
ing “lightning in a bottle” in the words of former Cape Bre-
ton-Canso MP Rodger Cuzner.
But this time around the region was a key election bat-
tleground, with the Tories, NDP and Greens all seeing suc-
cess here.
The Green Party finally had their much hoped-for break-
through in the East, when Jenica Atwin made history as the
first Green MP elected in Atlantic Canada, defeating Liberal
incumbent Matt DeCourcey in Fredericton.
“They are going to hear me, they are going to hear us, and
we are going to make the world a better place,” Ms. Atwin
told a crowd of jubilant Green Party supporters in Freder-
icton.
In St. John’s East, Jack Harris won the seat for the NDP,
the lone orange blot on an otherwise all-red map of New-
foundland and Labrador. A well-known figure in Newfoun-
dland politics since the late 1980s, he narrowly lost in 2015
and was widely seen as a front-runner to take the seat back

I
f you’re a fan of creative eco-
nomic thinking, this was not
the election for you. Sadly, it
may have been a preview of the
next four years.
At a time when the Canadian
economy needs bold ideas, this
campaign delivered none. Where
we needed a wholesale rethink of
our cumbersome, outdated tax
system, we got some modest
mom-and-pop tax cuts. Where
we needed vision on energy pol-
icy, we got a rehashing of old
squabbles over pipelines. On
competitiveness, on innovation,
on trade, on skills shortages, we
heard little more than silence.
One of our two historical gov-
erning parties essentially prom-
ised to continue with its old eco-
nomic ideas. The other offered to
resurrect even older ones.
The Liberals and Conserva-
tives are so much in agreement
on the big stuff that it doesn’t
even come up. Both are commit-
ted to free trade. Both want to
build more oil and gas pipelines.
Both have directed their cam-
paigns toward helping the mid-
dle class. Either way, you were
getting a personal income-tax
cut.
“While they might amend the
details, no party in Canada would
challenge a continuation of the
major items of federal spending:
the CPP/OAS for the elderly, EI for
the unemployed, transfer pay-
ments to provinces in support of
public health insurance and edu-
cation, and equalization pay-
ments to provinces with weaker
tax bases,” CIBC chief economist
Avery Shenfeld said in a research
note last week.
“The Conservatives have
ing to do much meaningfully dif-
ferent than our government for
the past four.
You could argue that there’s
nothing wrong with that. Liberal
Leader Justin Trudeau was happy
to campaign on his government’s
economic record, which, he fig-
ured, looked pretty good. Four
years of expansion. Unemploy-
ment at 40-plus-year lows. More
than a million jobs created. More
than 800,000 lifted out of pover-
ty.
But we’ve just lived through a
pretty benign few years for the
bulk of the Canadian economy
(oil and gas being the notable ex-
ception). In the sweet spot of an
economic expansion, with low
interest rates and tame inflation
– those sorts of conditions just
spit out good economic numbers.
But the new government will find
the economic boasting points
fewer and harder to come by.
It won’t be able to hang its hat
on job creation and shrinking un-
employment the way the old gov-
ernment did – not because its
strategies won’t be as successful,
but because those gains aren’t
there to be had any more. We’re
at a much later stage in the eco-
nomic cycle; we’re already very
close to full employment.
There might be pockets in the
country where the labour market
still has room to grow, but over
all, we’re bumping up against the
ceiling.
The same can be said for the
economy in general. Most of the
expansion is behind us – and it
has already been one of the long-
est expansions on record.
History strongly suggests that
the government won’t be able to
trade dispute posing a serious
risk to the stability of the world
economy, that downturn may
not be far off.
Downturns have a way of ex-
posing economic weaknesses
that the country can gloss over
during expansions – things the
Liberal government did far too
little to address over the past four
years. We have a dinosaur of a tax
system that was designed for a
manufacturing-and-resource-dri-
ven economy of the 1960s, not
the innovation-and-services-dri-
ven economy of the 2020s. We
have chronic problems with glob-
al competitiveness and produc-
tivity. We have massive trade bar-
riers between our own provinces.
We have record consumer debt
loads. These failings will deepen
and prolong the next recession.
But with a splintered electo-
rate and fragmented House of
Commons, we may now lack the
consensus necessary to seriously
tackle these problems. Dramatic
moves and bold policies are for
governments with large, embold-
ening majorities, clear mandates
to think big. The new govern-
ment won’t have that. If it suc-
ceeds, it will be through cautious
compromise, not daring policy
innovation. And, as the cam-
paign demonstrated, there we-
ren’t a lot of big ideas being
pushed anyway; the leading par-
ties showed a disturbing lack of
appetite for them.
So prepare for a government
deeply committed to muddling
through with the status quo. That
will be wholly uninspiring and
not nearly enough if and when a
recession hits.
But hey, enjoy your tax cut.

“Some of the concerns around infrastructure, unemploy-
ment, climate change, they’ll be articulated from inside the

Some, including Prof. Urbaniak, said Mr. Singh “made a
mistake” by spending so little time in the region during the
campaign, opening the door to the Green Party to pick up
more support on the east coast.
Just a few years ago a Liberal stronghold, Atlantic Canada
became a vulnerability in the months leading up the elec-
tion. Only in Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Ed-
ward Island did the Liberals consistently remain in the lead
in polling, despite genuine hopes from the Green Party that
an East Coast breakthrough might finally be possible on PEI,
where the provincial Greens are the Official Opposition.
In Nova Scotia, rural ridings across the province were
very much in play after prominent, long-time Liberal MPs
Scott Brison, Bill Casey, Mark Eyking and Mr. Cuzner an-
nounced their retirements from politics before the election.
Those departures left the party without incumbents in five
of their 11 seats in the province.
In Central Nova, Liberal MP Sean Fraser held off a chal-
lenge from country star and political newcomer George Ca-
nyon, who was getting help behind the scenes from former
Tory cabinet minister Peter MacKay.
In Mr. Brison’s old riding of Central Nova, 28-year-old
Liberal Kody Blois was passed the torch in a seat where the
former cabinet minister canvassed by his side and was an
active mentor.
In New Brunswick, the Conservatives played on anti-Tru-
deau sentiment and economic frustrations as they tried to
reclaim huge swaths of the province’s rural, and mostly an-
glophone, areas in closely fought battles with the Liberals.
Only in the province’s French-speaking regions did the
Liberals maintain comfortable leads in opinion polls, in-

Canada enters
the age of
minorities
W
ell, that was a surprise. All the polls heading into
the final days of the campaign said the Liberal-
Conservative race was something close to a dead
heat, and whoever formed government would do it as a
minority.
But as we went to press on Thursday night, the Liberals
were holding a considerable lead over the Conservatives.
However, they also appeared to be en route to losing enough
voters, and enough seats, to wind up with that expected
minority.
A minority government: It’s nothing new. The last 20 fed-
eral elections, going all the way back to the 1950s, produced
nine minority governments. Rather a lot of the governing of
Canada has been done by them.
Between 2004 and 2011, for example, Canada had three
elections that yielded seven years worth of minority govern-
ments, first under Liberal prime minister Paul Martin and
then under the Conservatives and Stephen Harper.
A generation earlier, Pierre Trudeau was elected with a
majority in 1968, then re-elected with only a minority. The
elder Mr. Trudeau parlayed two years in minority into a
renewed majority in 1974. John Diefenbaker and the Conser-

o one else wanted the job
that became Yves-François
Blanchet’s nine months
ago.
For the previous two years, the
Bloc Québécois had been em-
broiled in internecine warfare.
Its last leader, sovereigntist
hardliner Martine Ouellet, had
faced an open revolt. The party
barely registered in the polls. By
the time Mr. Blanchet inherited
the leadership in an uncontested
race, the party’s death appeared
imminent.
Yet Mr. Blanchet, 54, will now
head to Ottawa with the largest
Bloc caucus in almost a decade.
The party rose from its deathbed
to finish first among franco-
phone Quebec voters on Mon-
day, proof both of Mr. Blanchet’s
unsuspected political smarts and
the enduring strength of Quebec
nationalism. The Bloc is a player
again in national politics. That
stands to make the next Parlia-
ment far more raucous than the
last one.
What will Mr. Blanchet make
of the mandate Quebec voters
have handed his party? He has
rejected accusations from other
party leaders that the Bloc would
use its renewed heft in the
House of Commons, where it has
not held official party status
since 2011, to promote another
referendum on Quebec sover-
eignty. He has insisted that the
Bloc would work to advance
Quebec’s interests within Cana-
da.
Still, not since the mid-1990s,
when the Bloc reigned supreme
in Quebec and the Reform Party
dominated in Western Canada,

regional divisions. It might not

A
n unusual thing happened
last week. Mark Zucker-
berg gave a speech with
which I mostly agreed. I have
written some harsh words about
his company – and particularly
its conduct in the fateful election
year of 2016.
However, speaking at George-
town University in Washington,
the Facebook co-founder took a
stand on the issue of free speech
that pleasantly surprised me.
First, he got his history right.
“Giving everyone a voice,” he ar-
gued, “empowers the powerless,”
whereas “the most repressive so-
cieties have always restricted
speech the most.” Second, Mr.
Zuckerberg recognized that the
internet has fundamentally
transformed the public sphere.
it. The 2000s saw the rise of a
prime minister from Calgary, Ste-
phen Harper, who would stay in
office for a decade. The Reform
Party soon became a distant
memory.
Yet, here we are, decades after
Reform’s birth, and the anger
and bitterness once so palpable
in the West is again bubbling to
the surface. This time, however,
the dynamics are fundamentally
different. This is not “The West
Wants In: Redux.” Rather, some
are asking if it’s time for the West
to leave.
Of all the complex and chal-
lenging issues facing a freshly re-
elected Liberal government, this
is the most vexing. How do you
address the visceral sense in Sas-
katchewan and most acutely in
Alberta that something has gone
awry? That the political and eco-
nomic arrangements inside Can-
ada aren’t working any more?
(The term “Western alienation”
this time around is a misnomer;
the bitterness and talk of separat-
ism is confined largely to these
two provinces.)

“People having the power to ex-
press themselves at scale is a
new kind of force in the world –
a fifth estate alongside the other
power structures of society.”
I like the coinage of the fifth
estate. In case you’ve lost track of
those pre-French Revolution cat-
egories, the first estate is – or was
– the clergy, the second the no-
bility and the third the middle
class. The fourth, the media,
came later and should now be
called the old media.
But the third and most impor-
tant point of Mr. Zuckerberg’s
Georgetown speech was a tren-
chant defence of free speech.
Facebook, he said, will “continue
to stand for free expression, un-
derstanding its messiness, but
believing that the long journey
towards greater progress re-
quires confronting ideas that
challenge us.”
At a time when, not least in
universities, there are ever-loud-
er demands to prohibit hate

tion to the “ever-expanding defi-

more of them.
Barring some unexpected,
cataclysmic economic event,
dealing with Alberta’s energy fu-
ture (and by extension Saskatch-
ewan’s) is going to have to be a
top priority for the new govern-
ment. Unattended, the embers of
alienation and separatism, now
being stoked by provincial lead-
ers unabashed about making po-
litical gains at the expense of na-
tional unity, will only become
more intense.
The only chance I see for any
kind of breakthrough is through
a national summit on Canada’s
energy and environmental fu-
ture, because the two are inex-
tricably linked. To pretend other-

Such a summit would have to
answer the question: How do we

crease our emissions, and still

“Canada is in many ways clos-
er to Saudi Arabia or Russia than
to Quebec,” Mr. Blanchet said at
a Bloc rally on Saturday in a
speech loaded, for the first time
in this campaign, with affirma-
tions of the party’s sovereigntist
raison d’être.
That Quebeckers have
switched federal parties again is
hardly the surprise of the centu-
ry. In 2011, they abandoned the
Bloc for the New Democrats in
what turned out to be an unsuc-
cessful attempt to prevent the
Conservatives from forming a
majority government. In 2015,

other Canadians, suggesting a

coast to coast.
nition of what speech is harm-
ful” and his pledge to “fight to
uphold as wide a definition of
freedom of expression as possi-
ble” are very welcome. Amen. No
trigger warnings, no safe spaces.
The test of your commitment
to free speech is how far you are
prepared to tolerate not just
views you disagree with – hate
speech – but views that are
downright mendacious: fake
speech.
Last month, Facebook un-
veiled a new policy not to mod-
erate politicians’ speech or fact-
check their political ads. The pol-
icy was swiftly put to the test
when Donald Trump’s campaign
released a 30-second video ad ac-
cusing former U.S. vice-president
Joe Biden of corrupt conduct in
Ukraine.
When Mr. Biden’s campaign
asked Facebook to take down the
ad, the company refused. Eliza-
beth Warren – Mr. Biden’s rival
for the Democratic nomination –
countered by creating a fake ad
of her own that claimed Mr.

miers Jason Kenney and Scott

Alberta to say: We make an out-
sized contribution to equaliza-

comes to greenhouse gas emis-
sions – let the rest of Canada sac-
rifice on our behalf.
That will never work.
Nor is it an option for those
living in Alberta and Saskatche-
wan to pretend there is no cli-
mate problem. Even the then-

Williams, told an audience in
Calgary that ignoring reality is

performances certainly won over
many Quebec voters – as with a
failure by the Liberals and Con-
servatives to take the Bloc seri-
ously enough until it was too
late. Neither of the main parties
had been expecting the Bloc to
be a factor in this election and
developed their campaign strate-
gies accordingly. The Grits and
Tories fired missiles at each oth-
er, allowing Mr. Blanchet to go
unchallenged.
This marks the fifth federal
election in a row in which the
Conservatives blew their pro-
spects for a breakthrough in
Quebec because of their own
mistakes. Early campaign polls
showed the party poised to dou-
ble its seat count in the province
Zuckerberg and Facebook had
endorsed Mr. Trump.
Ms. Warren has called Face-
book a “disinformation-for-prof-
it machine.” But, like her Europe-
an counterparts, she fails to see
that, in asking Facebook to de-
cide which political ads air and
which do not, she is implicitly
ceding far more power to the
company than it wants or should
have.
Yet, there is a price tag associ-
ated with a free-speech Face-
book, and we should not ignore
it. The 2020 presidential election
will be only the third in which
the internet has been the deci-
sive battleground. And it will
matter even more in 2020 than it
did in 2016, when it mattered
more than it did in 2012.

Even if the Trans Mountain
pipeline expansion gets built –
and I still maintain that it will – it
would be an extraordinary strug-
gle to get yet another built. The
political leadership in Alberta
needs to face up to this. The po-
litical leadership in Ottawa needs
to be more honest about it, too.
The government of Alberta,
with the co-operation of Ottawa,
should already be making plans
to become a green energy super-
power. If that transition takes
major subsidies from the federal
government, so be it. It would
put thousands and thousands of
people in the province to work.
And likely, too, in Saskatchewan,
which is well situated to play a
key role in the renewable energy
field.
Hopefully, now that the elec-
tion is over, some of our political
leaders can put down their poi-
son dart guns and start thinking
more rationally and less selfishly.
This country is worth fighting for.
And worth sacrificing for.
from the 11 ridings it held at dis-
solution. But after a cringe-wor-
thy performance by Conserva-
tive Leader Andrew Scheer in the
first French-language televised
debate, in which he refused to
acknowledge his personal views
on abortion, the Conservatives
dived in the polls.
The Liberals had been bank-
ing on the collapse of the NDP’s
remaining support in the prov-
ince to build on the 40 seats the
party held at dissolution. In-
stead, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh
surprised everyone with strong
performances in both French-
language debates. NDP support
rose – not enough to save the
party’s 14 Quebec seats, but
enough to deprive the Liberals of
victory in tight multiparty races.
The fuss English Canada made
over the Coalition Avenir Québec
government’s Bill 21, which got
more airtime in the English-lan-
guage debate than either of the
French ones, was a gift to the
Bloc. It had targeted the same
francophone voters who gave
the CAQ a provincial majority
last year. Among the federal par-
ties, the Bloc had the field to it-
self in standing up for Bill 21,
which bans some provincial em-
ployees from wearing religious
symbols. That alone might have
turned the tide. But it was Pre-
mier François Legault’s rebuke of
Mr. Trudeau for suggesting a re-
elected Liberal government
might join a constitutional chal-
lenge of the law that put the
wind in the Bloc’s sails.
It may not, however, be
smooth sailing from here on. Mr.
Blanchet will face relentless
pressure from the party’s hard-
core separatist base to put sover-
eignty at the top of the party’s
agenda. He will face a tough task
keeping the base happy without
alienating the soft nationalists to
whom the Bloc owes its renewed
lease on life.
For now, however, the Bloc is
back. And the rest of Canada bet-
ter get used it.

the total spent by the top three
Democratic candidates com-

old-school things such as debate

and his team are aggregating the
mobile advertising IDs of the en-
tire voting population, matching
location data from phone usage

Facebook, not Russia, was the
crucial factor in the 2016 elec-
tion. Facebook (and Google, too)
will matter even more in 2020.

Liberals: Tories could not make substantial gains in Grit strongholds
FROM A1
The New Democrats would be the
natural ally for the Liberals in a
minority government. Mr. Singh
suggested during the campaign
he could work with Mr. Trudeau.
The vote put an end to a 40-day
campaign that was dominated
more by character assassination
than significant policy debates on
issues such as pharmacare, tax
cuts and the pros and cons of a
carbon tax.
To form a majority a party must
win 170 of the House of Com-
mons’ 338 seats.
The Liberals put in a solid
showing in the Ontario battle-
ground, where Conservatives
worried that Premier Doug Ford
was dragging down Tory support.
With 121 seats up for grabs, the
Liberals were poised to win as
many as 76 seats to 37 for the Con-
servatives and eight for the NDP.
In 2015, the Liberals won 80 seats
followed by 33 for the Conserva-
tives, and eight for the NDP.
The Liberals had expected to
hold onto their fortress in the
Greater Toronto area, and the
Conservatives under Mr. Scheer
were unable to make inroads.
In Quebec, the Bloc, led by
Yves-François Blanchet, denied
the Liberals the seats they needed
to form a majority government.
At the outset of the campaign
in September, the Liberals hope
to increase their base in Quebec to
offset losses elsewhere.
In 2015, the Liberals won 40
seats, with the NDP picking up 16,

With the New Democrats strug-
gling with organization, fundrais-
ing and popular support in 2019,
the Liberals and the Conserva-
tives were counting on picking up
seats there. But the rise of the Bloc
in the last six weeks changed the
calculation.
Mr. Scheer signaled his hopes
for the province right off the bat,
by launching his campaign in
Trois-Rivières. The Tories, Liber-
als and Bloc all saw a shot at un-
seating the incumbent NDP.
In a sign of how much power
the provincial electorate had dur-
ing the campaign, key policy is-
sues for Quebec, like its secular-
ism law and the environment,
dominated the agenda for all of
the major party leaders.
The Atlantic provinces set the
tone for the night with the Con-
servatives winning four seats in
the Liberal stronghold, a region
where the Trudeau-led party won
all 32 seats in 2015. The NDP
picked up one seat in Newfoun-
dland where Jack Harris won back
the riding of St. John’s East.
The Green party’s Jenica Atwin
picked up a seat in Fredericton, a
seat the Greens hold provincially.
Former Harper MPs Rob Moore
and John Williamson also won
back their New Brunswick rid-
ings.
The Liberals went into the cam-
paign expecting to be able to hold
onto the vast majority of their
seats in Atlantic Canada. Howev-
er, as the race between the Liber-
als and Tories tightened, both par-

more powers. Alberta and Sas-
katchewan are hopping mad at
the Liberal environmental agen-
da but in many parts of the rest of
the country, Mr. Trudeau is
blamed for buying a pipeline.
Mr. Trudeau almost certainly
has to go ahead with both the
Trans-Mountain pipeline expan-
sion and the carbon-tax-and-re-
bate program that is the center-
piece of his climate change plan.
He ran against austerity, so ex-
pect the spending taps to keep
flowing.
But his economic agenda from
2015 – pouring money into infras-
tructure and simulating innova-
tion – was barely mentioned in
2019. In the first term, that was
displaced by the renegotiation of
NAFTA. There isn’t much sign of a
driving economic agenda for the
second.
The social-policy agenda that
Mr. Trudeau promised included
negotiating pharmacare with
provinces, but that won’t get eas-
ier now. To his left, the NDP will
push for it to move faster, but Mr.
Legault can look to opt out with
compensation. Mr. Trudeau has
The Liberals, Conservatives
and NDP focused the lion’s share
of their policy proposals in the
campaign on affordability issues,
with the parties trying to outdo
one another on programs, tax
cuts and targeted help for new
parents, seniors and postsecond-
ary students in particular.
The Conservatives pitched an
across-the-board income tax cut
funded by spending cuts else-
where, while the Liberals did
away with promising to balance
the budget and offered up new
programs as well as tax relief for
low- and middle-income earners.
The Liberals put in a
solid showing in the
Ontario battleground,
where Conservatives
worried that Premier
Doug Ford was dragging
down Tory support.
Instead of pitching tax cuts, the
NDP proposed a historic expan-

Other than the Conservatives’
focus on fiscal constraint, the area
where the parties showed the
clearest differences was on cli-
mate change policy. The Conser-
vatives promised to tear up the
Liberal climate plan and repeal
the federal carbon tax as their first
order of business if they formed
government. They stopped short
of saying their plan would meet
Canada’s 2030 targets for emis-

sion reductions, while the Liber-
als promised they could close the
current gap on the 2030 target
and set a new one for 2050.
Less than a year ago, Mr. Tru-
deau had been expected to coast
to a second majority government.
But SNC-Lavalin affair lifted a
curtain on his governing style,
and the Liberals never fully reco-
vered from two months of wall-
to-wall coverage that ended with
two of Mr. Trudeau’s star recruits
from the 2015 campaign being
booted from the Liberal caucus,
the resignation of a close adviser
and the exit of Canada’s top civil
servant. It also resulted in a sec-
ond finding that Mr. Trudeau had
breached ethics laws.
The Liberal Leader regained his
footing slightly over the summer,
but the first week of the campaign
put Mr. Trudeau on his heels
when it was revealed that his gov-
ernment blocked the RCMP’s re-
quest for documents to deter-
mine whether there was obstruc-
tion justice in the SNC-Lavalin af-
fair.
As the campaign entered its
second week, photos surfaced of
Mr. Trudeau wearing blackface.
He admitted he had done so an
unknown number of times, from
his youth in the 1980s to 2001,
when he was a teacher at a Van-
couver private school. The admis-
sion rocked his campaign, hurt-
ing morale, and cut to the core of
Mr. Trudeau’s brand as a prime
minister who championed inclu-
sion and embraced diversity.
The scandal knocked the Liber-
als to second place in the polls,
and gave confidence to the Tories
to worry that going head-to-head
with the Quebec Premier would
further boost the revived for-
tunes of the Bloc.
Perhaps, Mr. Trudeau can turn
some governing obstacles into
political gain. He has already
lined up battles with conserva-
tive premiers, notably Doug Ford
in Ontario and Jason Kenney in
Alberta, and perhaps he will use
them as foils to try to build sup-
port from progressive voters be-
fore the next election.
But that’s a long way from the
way Mr. Trudeau started his first
term. The leadership required
now appears to be about stick-
handling through contradictory
pressures, all while staying alive.
And Mr. Trudeau doesn’t seem to
have all the advantageous attri-
butes he did in 2015 or 2016.
After his first victory, Mr. Tru-
deau rode a wave of goodwill that
took in many people that hadn’t
voted for him. He toured the
world, welcomed as a new kind of
leader. He convened premiers for
an unusually collegial meeting
that marked the start of his “pan-
Canadian” climate initiative.

heading into the third week.
Mr. Scheer, who assembled an
inexperienced election team,
faced controversies of his own.
The Globe and Mail reported that
he had never worked as an insur-
ance broker as his party bio
claimed and that he hold dual
Canada-US citizenship.
The NDP’s Mr. Singh had strug-
gled to break through in the polls,
lagged in fundraising and demon-
strated poor organization. But his
performance in the debates and
his response to Mr. Trudeau’s
blackface controversy gave him
moments to rise above the fray,
and prompted voters to reconsid-
er the New Democrats.
In Quebec, the BQ leader Mr.
Blanchet, a media personality
who served in the short-lived Par-
ti Québécois government of Pau-
line Marois, tied his campaign
closely to the policies of Quebec’s
popular Premier, François Le-
gault, and avoided talking about
his party’s original purpose, Que-
bec separatism, for much of the
campaign.
Green Party Leader Elizabeth
May started with high hopes that
the Greens could pick up seats,
not just in British Columbia, but
also in Prince Edward Island and
New Brunswick. However, as she
tried to position her party beyond
its climate change focus, she was
tripped up by questions about
abortion and separatism.
The election also saw a new
party join the fray, after Mr. Ber-
nier, a failed Conservative leader-
ship candidate, left the Tories and
started the People’s Party just
more than one year ago.
There was a sense he could set the
agenda. He doesn’t have that
now.
Part of it is the wear and tear of
four years in office. Some of those
middle-ground compromises
were harder to hold onto than Mr.
Trudeau expected. It was hard to
get the people who liked a carbon
tax to like the purchase of a pipe-
line, too.
But the real chipping away
came from Mr. Trudeau’s own
personal political power, not just
the SNC-Lavalin affair, but the un-
forthright way in which he ad-
dressed that and a lot of other
things. Many who had seen him
as authentic and different in 2015
were viewing him as just a politic-
ian in 2019.
Now he heads into a political
environment that seems to beg
for tactical maneuvers, for scrap-
ing together support, always try-
ing to stay in a winning electoral
position for next time. You’d
think that means Mr. Trudeau
will want to recapture the sunny-
ways brand of Trudeau 2015, but
his second term will demand a
hardnosed, tactical politician.

Kurds display anger at departing U.S. forces

Turkey expected to
resume offensive aimed
at creating ‘buffer zone’
along border with Syria
while retreating
Americans face local ire
MARK MacKINNON
SENIOR INTERNATIONAL
CORRESPONDENT
ERBIL, IRAQ
The man in the white T-shirt
stood in front of the U.S. military
convoy, blocking it long enough
for the American soldiers to read
the English words scrawled on his
handmade sign: “Trump be-
trayed us.”
The man in white stepped
aside after a few seconds, know-
ing he couldn’t stop the U.S. re-
treat from eastern Syria that had
been ordered by U.S. President
Donald Trump. But a video of the
scene was shared on Twitter by a
spokesman for the Syrian Demo-
cratic Forces, a predominantly
Kurdish militia that fought along-
side the United States to defeat
the Islamic State.
The SDF’s distribution of the
video highlighted the anger Syr-
ian Kurds feel at being abandoned
to their fates by Mr. Trump. After a
five-day ceasefire, Turkey is ex-
pected on Tuesday to resume a
military offensive aimed at creat-
ing a 30-kilometre-deep “buffer
zone” – free of Kurdish fighters –
across its border with Syria.
Syrian Kurds in the town of
Qamishli, which is within the
zone the Turkish offensive seeks
to capture, displayed their anger
on Monday by throwing potatoes
at a line of departing U.S. Hum-
vees. “America, liar!” one man
shouted at the withdrawing
troops, in another moment cap-
tured on video. Some used far less
polite terms to berate their erst-
while protectors.
“It’s unprecedented that Kurds

feel so much apathy – and show
so little respect to Americans,”
said Shivan Fazil, a political ana-
lyst based in Erbil, the capital of
the Kurdish autonomous region
in neighbouring Iraq.
After more than 16 years of
fighting side by side with the U.S.
– first against former Iraqi dicta-
tor Saddam Hussein, more re-
cently against IS in a fight that
took place on both sides of the
Iraq-Syria border – Mr. Fazil said
many Kurds felt betrayed by Mr.
Trump’s abrupt decision to pull
U.S. troops from Syria, which the
President announced after an
Oct. 6 phone conversation with
Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan.
Syria’s estimated two million
Kurds fear what happens after the
last of the 1,000 or so American
troops who had been deployed
alongside the SDF depart Syria
(although U.S. Defence Secretary
Mark Esper said Monday that
some troops might be left behind
to guard the region’s oil fields).
Turkey has vowed to resume its
offensive unless all Kurdish fight-
ers laid down their weapons and
withdrew from the buffer zone by
the end of the ceasefire, which
was negotiated last week during a
meeting between Mr. Erdogan
and U.S. Vice-President Mike
Pence.
Syria’s estimated two
million Kurds fear what
happens after the last of
the 1,000 or so
American troops who
had been deployed
alongside the SDF
depart Syria.
The SDF said on Monday that it
had left the battle-scarred town of
Ras al-Ayn, near the Turkish bor-
der. However, there was no sign
that Kurdish fighters had pulled
back from other towns in the
region.
“If they don’t withdraw, our op-
eration will resume. This is also
what we agreed with the Ameri-
cans,” Turkish Foreign Minister
Mevlut Cavusoglu told a forum
Monday in Istanbul.
Turkey sees the SDF as a re-
branded version of a Kurdish mi-
litia called the YPG – which is it-
self allied with the Kurdistan
Workers’ Party, or PKK, which has
fought a decades-long struggle for
independence from Ankara for
Turkey’s own 12 million-strong
Kurdish population. Turkey con-
siders the PKK a “terrorist” group.
The U.S. withdrawal and Turk-
ish offensive have already
brought an end to the de facto au-
tonomy that Syrian Kurds have
enjoyed east of the Euphrates Riv-
er since the defeat of IS this year.
The Kurds, who have also been
battling Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad’s regime since civil war
erupted in the country eight years
ago, last week invited Mr. al-As-
sad’s forces – which are backed by
Russian air power – to enter parts
of northeast Syria for the first
time since 2012, under an agree-
ment meant to block the Turkish
invasion.
It was unclear on Monday
whether Turkey would seek to
create the 30-kilometre buffer
zone anyway, and what Russian
and Syrian forces might do to stop
them. Many Syrian Kurds will also
be unhappy to see the return of
Mr. Assad’s iron-fisted rule to the
rest of the region.
Mr. Erdogan was set to fly to the
Russian resort town of Sochi on
Tuesday, ahead of the expiration
of the ceasefire, to negotiate with
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We will take up this process with
Mr. Putin and after that we will
take the necessary steps,” Mr. Er-
dogan said.
The hasty U.S. withdrawal has
confirmed Mr. Putin’s status as
the key power broker in Syria.
Transport planes carrying Rus-
sian soldiers arrived in Qamishli
just hours after the departing
American troops were pelted
with potatoes.
At least 477 people have been
killed since the Turkish offensive
began on Oct. 9, according to the
independent Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights. The United Na-
tions says more than 176,000 peo-
ple have been forced from their
homes.
Meanwhile, the government of
the Kurdish autonomous region
in northern Iraq was scrambling
to prepare for an anticipated refu-
gee influx. Several thousand Syr-
ian Kurds have already arrived in
the region, and the local govern-
ment said over the weekend that
it was expecting as many as
250,000 people to flee from Syria
to Iraq if the Turkish offensive re-
sumed.The conflict has strained
ties between Turkey and the rest
of the 29-member NATO alliance,
with several countries – including
France and Germany – backing
their criticism of the Turkish of-
fensive by suspending military
sales to Ankara.

Northern Ireland clears way for social changes

Bans on same-sex
marriage and
abortions will be
eased in region after
politicians in London
vote to lift restrictions
PAUL WALDIE
EUROPE CORRESPONDENT
LONDON
Northern Ireland is set to drop its
long-standing ban on nearly all
abortions and permit same-sex
marriages, opening the door to
revolutionary social changes that
overturn laws dating back more
than 100 years.
Northern Ireland’s abortion
law will be repealed as of Tuesday,
ending one of the most restrictive
regimes in Europe. Same-sex
marriages will also be allowed as
of January, bringing the province
in line with the rest of Britain,
which changed its marriage laws
five years ago.
The biggest impact will be the
change to abortion, which has
been a contentious issue in
Northern Ireland for decades. The
province’s legislation dates back
to 1861 and it makes abortion ille-
gal in almost every circumstance,
including cases of sexual assault
and incest. The maximum puni-
shment is life in prison for any
woman seeking the procedure
and any doctor performing it. The
rest of the United Kingdom mod-
ified its abortion laws in 1967, but
Northern Ireland did not follow
suit. As a result, more than 1,000
women travel to England for
abortions every year and about
the same number use medication
bought online.
It’s not clear yet what will re-
place the law, and officials have
six months to come up with new
regulations for the delivery of

abortion services. But abortion
will no longer be a criminal of-
fence as of Tuesday and the regu-
lations are likely to be compara-
ble with the rest of the country.
Pro-choice activists celebrated
the repeal and said decriminali-
zation will also bring Northern
Ireland in line with Ireland,
which recently revised its abor-
tion laws after a referendum last
year that saw overwhelming sup-
port for change. “From midnight
[Monday] history will be made,
these oppressive laws that have
policed our bodies and our health
care will be brought to an end,”
said Grainne Teggart a Northern
Ireland campaigner for Amnesty
International. “Finally our rights
and our health care are being
brought into the 21st century.”
Emma Campbell, a spokeswo-
man for Northern Ireland’s Alli-
ance for Choice, said five women
were currently facing prosecu-
tion for violating the law and
those cases will now be dropped.
She added that most pregnant
women in Northern Ireland who
want an abortion can’t afford to
travel to England and many buy
unproven pills online or seek
help elsewhere.
Anti-abortion groups called
the repeal anti-democratic and
said it had been imposed on the
province by politicians in London
who took advantage of a political
deadlock in Belfast. Abortion and
same-sex marriage are among
several matters that are usually
regulated by the provincial as-
sembly, but the legislature hasn’t
sat for nearly three years because
of a dispute between the two
main parties: the Democratic
Unionist Party and Sinn Fein. As a
result of the impasse, Northern
Ireland has been effectively run
from London and last July, MPs at
Westminster passed a law outlin-
ing how the province would be
administered going forward. That
legislation included provisions to
repeal Northern Ireland’s abor-
tion law and allow same-sex mar-
riages. The legislation was to go
into force after midnight on Oct.
22 if the assembly had not been
restored.
On Monday, the DUP, which
supports the current abortion
law and opposes same-sex mar-
riage, made a last-minute pitch to
convene the assembly to thwart
the Westminster legislation. Sinn
Fein refused to participate and af-
ter one hour the legislature ad-
journed. The DUP’s leader, Arlene
Foster, said the party will to try to
reverse the new regulations once
the legislature returns. “This is
not the end of the matter as far as
this party is concerned. We will
take every legal option available
to us,” Ms. Foster told the assemb-
ly.
Groups on both sides of the is-
sue gathered outside the assemb-
ly on Monday. “The way West-
minster did this in July was to dis-
regard the people of Northern
Ireland,” said Dawn McAvoy, co-
founder of Both Lives Matter.
“They refused to give us a public
consultation on whether the law
would change.”
Sarah Ewart, who won a court
challenge over the law earlier this
month, called the change “monu-
mental.” Ms. Ewart was denied a
termination in 2013, even though
doctors said her baby had a rare
brain condition and would not
live outside the womb.
She was told that since her
own life wasn’t at risk, she had to
continue the pregnancy until
miscarriage. She eventually had
an abortion in London and chal-
lenged the law in court. On Oct. 3,
a High Court judge in Belfast
ruled that Northern Ireland’s
abortion law contravened hu-
man rights in cases of fatal fetal
abnormality.
Repealing the law “will not fix
what I’ve had to go through, but it
will make it better for those who
are coming after me,” Ms. Ewart
told reporters on Monday.

Netanyahu suffers major
setback as he fails to form
new coalition government
JOSEF FEDERMAN JERUSALEM
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday
that he had failed to form a majority government in Parlia-
ment, marking a major setback for the beleaguered Israeli
leader that plunges the country into a new period of political
uncertainty.
In a statement, Mr. Netanyahu said he had worked “tire-
lessly” to establish a unity government with his chief rival,
former military chief Benny Gantz, but had been repeatedly
rebuffed. Facing a Wednesday deadline, Mr. Netanyahu said
he was returning the “mandate” to President Reuven Rivlin,
who will now ask Mr. Gantz to try to form a coalition. Mr.
Gantz, however, could face an equally difficult task.
While Mr. Netanyahu remains at the helm of his Likud par-
ty, his announcement marked the second time this year that
he has been unable to form a government. With Israel’s At-
torney-General set to decide in the coming weeks on whether
to indict Mr. Netanyahu in a series of corruption cases, the
long-time Israeli leader could
come under heavy pressure to
step aside. One party rival, Gide- While Mr. Netanyahu
on Saar, has already indicated he
would challenge Mr. Netanyahu if remains at the helm
Likud holds a primary. of his Likud party,
In last month’s national elec- his announcement
tion, Mr. Netanyahu fell short of marked the second
securing a 61-seat parliamentary
majority. But Mr. Rivlin gave Mr. time this year that
Netanyahu the first opportunity he has been unable
to form a government because he to form a
had more support – 55 lawmakers government.
– than Mr. Gantz, who was sup-
ported by only 54.
Mr. Netanyahu had hoped to form a broad “unity” govern-
ment with Mr. Gantz, who heads the centrist Blue and White
party. But Mr. Netanyahu insisted that his coalition include
his traditional allies, a collection of hardline and religious
parties, drawing accusations from Mr. Gantz that he was not
negotiating in good faith.
“Since I received the mandate, I have worked tirelessly
both in public and behind the scenes to establish a broad,
national unity government. That’s what the people want,”
Mr. Netanyahu said in a statement.
“During the past few weeks, I made every effort to bring
Benny Gantz to the negotiating table,” he said. “To my regret,
time after time he declined. He simply refused.”
For Mr. Netanyahu, who marked his 70th birthday on
Monday, it was another painful setback. In an earlier election
in April, Mr. Netanyahu also failed to win a parliamentary
majority and was forced to call the indecisive Sept. 17 elec-
tion. Now, for the first time since Mr. Netanyahu was elected
in early 2009, the country faces the possibility of choosing a
different leader.
In a short statement, Mr. Gantz’s Blue and White party said
that “now is the time of action.”
Mr. Gantz has vowed to unify the country and restore na-
tional institutions after Mr. Netanyahu’s decade-long rule,
which has deepened Israel’s religious and political divides
and been roiled by corruption allegations.
In contrast to Mr. Netanyahu, whose political career spans
three decades, the 60-year-old Mr. Gantz is a newcomer who
only burst onto the scene over the past year. The towering
former general’s party, Blue and White, is a newly formed
centrist coalition that includes the popular secular politician

Bruce McCulloch pays tribute to Gord Downie
Comedian takes the
stage during benefit
show to reflect on the
Tragically Hip singer
and their awkward, then
profound, friendship
BRAD WHEELER TORONTO
A
benefit concert was held
last Saturday night for the
Gord Downie & Chanie
Wenjack Fund, a charity which
the late Tragically Hip singer
named in honour of the 12-year-
old Ojibwa boy who died while
trying to escape an Ontario resi-
dential school in 1966 and the in-
spiration for his 2016 album, The
Secret Path.
The event brought together a
star-studded roster of Canadian
musicians (including Sarah
Harmer and Buffy Sainte-Marie),
along with an appearance by
Wenjack’s sister, Pearl Achneepi-
neskum. Bruce McCulloch, a for-
mer member of the famed Kids
in the Hall sketch-comedy
troupe, also made a cameo, remi-
niscing about his friendship with
Downie.
An edited transcript of the
speech follows:
I met Gord 25 years ago in To-
ronto’s Withrow Park. I was walk-
ing my poodle. He was there
playing hacky sack with guys all
over six feet tall like him. I poo-
dled up. Half-jokingly I said,
“Hack in,” like I’d seen cool kids
do. He booted it expertly to me. I
missed badly. So badly, I think I
pulled my neck. I said, “Hack
out,” and moonwalked off. Gord
laughed, and that was the start of
our friendship.
We became friends, first awk-
wardly, then profoundly. I later
moved to Los Angeles, so we be-
came men of letters and e-mails.
A few years ago I sent him a
book I’d written to get a quote
for the back cover.
He said he was leaving the
next morning and would be off
the grid for two weeks. I replied,
joking: “Not to worry, I bet Jim
Cuddy would like to do it.”
Back came, “No, I am the fero-
cious reader of the musical elite.
I will read your book tonight.”
Which he did. My whole book.
He was struck by a line I had
written in it: “The love you are

some body odour. He’s extremely
sensitive and will take offense at
many things I say, even if they we-

talks about it, but she doesn’t

es and if I say something I’m
afraid there will be a backlash.
What should I do there? Your sage
advice would be much appreciat-
ed.
The answer
I know all too well teenagers can
be touchy and take offence easily.
I’ve raised three of them.
They are masters of miscon-
struction. They misconstrue so
many things you say as rude, of-
fensive, insulting and so on –
when you meant nothing by it!
(Composite example) Me:
“Aren’t you going to finish your
dinner?”
Teenager: “What are you say-
ing? I’m too skinny? Oh, real nice,
Dad. You insult me right in the
middle of dinner. Thanks a lot,
Dad.”
Me: “I meant nothing by it. Just
making conversation.”
Teenager: “Oh, so now you
think my conversation is boring?
Just great, Dad.”
(Huffily stomps off, leaving
dirty dish for parents to clean.)
Teens are temperamental. As

I think about you so
much. We are a part of
‘the river.’ A tradition
that goes back further
than the blues. We get
up and tell our stories
to people. Hoping to
catch them, hoping to
touch them.
BRUCE MCCULLOCH
COMEDIAN
author Martin Amis says (not
about teens but it applies): “Like
the greatest poets, racehorses,
and chefs.”
Like a racehorse, they will rear
up on their hind legs at the slight-
est provocation. You just have to
hope they are of the temper-
ament to forgive you – ideally
within 15 minutes (as my kids of-
ten will) or by the time they’re 30
or 40 years old.
The temptation is to tiptoe
lightly, tread on eggshells, avoid
all issues and pseudo-issues
raised by your ultratouchy teens.
But look at it this way: You’re
going to offend them anyway. He
will have a litany of complaints
about you, no matter what you
do, which he’ll vent to his friends,
and, maybe later, to his therapist.
Might as well wade into the hot
tub of his beefs (terrible mixed
metaphor, I know). Water’s
warm.
So take your son aside, and
say: “You know, I’m detecting a
bit of an odour from you. You
might want to shower and change
your socks more often.”
Remember, you’re doing him a
favour. Improving his chances
with whatever sex he prefers, for
starters.
Repeat your parenting mantra:
“I do it for his own good.”
Look at it another way. It’s tit
for tat. Teens – or some, anyway –
are ever-ready with zingers about
your own faults and shortcom-
ings. They know just where to
stick the shiv and they’re not shy
about doing it.
As for your co-worker, I’d leave
that one alone.
It’s true that, painful as it
might be in the moment, I do
tend to like people telling me
what other people are saying be-
hind my back.

He was probably thinking of the Christian
hymn of the same title. Or of the Bible,
which has multiple references to “40

Well, in this neck of the woods we’ve
had 40 days and nights of politicians
blathering at us on a Biblical scale, plus
play-acting and more high dudgeon and
accusatory remarks than any decent Cana-

campaign, albeit an especially churlish
one, and we should be grateful that it’s on-

HBC board accepts sweetened Reworked

offer illustrates
takeover bid from Baker just how far
HBC has fallen
JEFFREY JONES

OPINION

T
he numbers behind Ri-
chard Baker’s sweetened
privatization offer for Hud-
son’s Bay Co. are a testament to
the dire state of department-
store retail.
They also show why an even
richer bid from his group of in-
siders is unlikely.
The buyout bid for Canada’s
oldest company is built on so-
bering math when it comes to
how far the value of the actual
business of HBC, which includes
two of the best-known banners
in North America, has fallen.
And its real estate, meanwhile,
seems to be worth a lot less than
previously estimated.
Mr. Baker, HBC’s New York-
based executive chairman, la-
mented that the company’s
many divestitures aimed at im-
proving financial health have
failed to put a floor under HBC’s
stock price as shoppers turn to
online alternatives such as Ama-

REITs outpace all other sectors for financing
Real estate trusts have
raised $1.3-billion
through share sales
since September
TIM KILADZE
Canadian real estate investment
trusts are capitalizing on a grow-
ing hunger for yield-driven
stocks, tapping investors for fresh
cash in an unexpected flurry of fi-
nancings.
REITs have raised $1.3-billion
through share sales since the
start of September, outpacing any
other sector in Canada and ex-

Facebook reveals new plan to limit spread of political misinformation
TAMSIN McMAHON
U.S. CORRESPONDENT
SAN JOSE, CALIF.
Facebook Inc. unveiled new mea-
sures Monday to prevent the
spread of political misinforma-
tion online, even as chief execu-
tive Mark Zuckerberg doubled
down on his defence of free
speech just days before he is set to
testify before Congress.
The social-media giant said it
would launch a new program to
protect political campaigns
against hackers; ban ads that pro-
mote voter suppression; include
more prominent warnings on
posts flagged as misleading by
third-party fact-checkers; and la-
bel content published by state-
controlled media outlets.
The new measures coincide
with the revelation that Facebook
shut down four networks of fake
accounts and pages linked to Rus-
sia and Iran with posts targeting
users in the United States, North
Africa and Latin America. The
campaign included posts on po-
litically sensitive topics, such as
one in Spanish featuring Demo-
cratic Congresswoman Alexan-
dria Ocasio-Cortez accusing U.S.
President Donald Trump of rac-
ism.
In a call with reporters on Mon-
day, Mr. Zuckerberg acknowl-
edged that state-run disinforma-
tion campaigns have become
more sophisticated since the 2016
U.S. elections, but he argued that
Facebook is better prepared to
deal with those threats today.
“Elections have changed signifi-
cantly since 2016, but Facebook
has changed too,” he said.
In Canada, Facebook has said it
complied with new election cam-
paign rules ahead of the federal
election, including verifying the
location of political advertisers
and publishing an archive of po-
litical ads.

With so many deals, the real

Falling interest rates have
largely fuelled the REIT rally.

that make it more difficult for
tools such as The Globe and Mail’s
ad-transparency project to collect
information on political ads.
Facebook said Monday that it
would add new tools to make it
easier for third-party researchers
to analyze political ads.
In the U.S., Mr. Zuckerberg is
facing renewed criticism from
Democratic lawmakers for Face-
book’s announcement last
month that it would not subject
ads by political candidates to fact-
checking, a decision critics have
said has allowed Mr. Trump to

Canadian REITs have also
lured investors with their strong
fundamentals, dispelling worries
that slower economic growth
would hurt their bottom lines.
“REITs have very attractive cash
flow per share growth driven by
pipelines of internally generated
projects,” said Sante Corona,
head of equity capital markets at
TD Securities.
Apartment-focused REITs
have been one of the hottest cor-
ners of the real estate market,
buoyed by high occupancy rates
and strong rent increases when-

Knight Therapeutics buys Latin American
drug company in its first major acquisition
NICOLAS VAN PRAET
Jonathan Goodman has finally
gone shopping.
Knight Therapeutics Inc., the
pharmaceutical company Mr.
Goodman founded and leads as
chief executive, announced Mon-
day it will buy Latin American on-
cology drug specialist Grupo Bio-
toscana Investments in a deal
worth $369-million. It is Knight’s
first major acquisition and puts
to work the bulk of a cash pile
that topped $600-million at the
end of June.
“We’ve been looking for an ac-
quisition like this one for some
time,” Mr. Goodman told analysts
and investors on a conference call
Monday. “This is transformation-
al.”
Mr. Goodman is trying to reas-
sure shareholders the best is yet
to come for Knight after rebuffing
an activist campaign by one of its
biggest shareholders, Israel’s Me-
dison Biotech Ltd., earlier this
year. In the proxy fight, Medison
sought to take control of Knight
by voting in its own slate of direc-
tors.
Knight makes money by buy-
ing late-stage specialty pharma-
ceuticals and obtaining the li-
cence rights to sell those products
in secondary markets outside the
United States, Western Europe,
China and Japan – basically coun-
tries such as Canada that are too

ties Real Estate Investment Trust,
the largest publicly traded apart-
ment owner, had an average oc-
cupancy of 98.3 per cent across its
entire portfolio at the end of its
most recent quarter, and some
apartment REITs have shown
that their rents can jump 25 per
cent on tenant turnover.
Since going public in the first
half of 2018, Minto Apartment RE-
IT has watched its unit price
jump 55 per cent. The REIT re-
cently raised $225-million on the
same day that its units set a new
high, and the offering was priced
to yield 1.9 per cent, an uncom-
monly low level for a Canadian
REIT.
Continuum is attempting its
IPO at a 2-per-cent yield on the
back of Minto’s success.
Because pricing has been so
advantageous, many REITs are
rushing to finance while they can.

larger drug makers. The company
attracted significant interest
when it went public in 2014 based
on Mr. Goodman’s prior success
with Paladin Labs. But the stock
price has stagnated over the past
two years as some investors be-
came impatient for the founder
and his team to make a needle-
moving deal. Knight shares jump-
ed 14 per cent to close at $8.55 on
Monday on the Toronto Stock Ex-
change.
Knight is doing the takeover in
two steps. First, it has struck a
deal with a group of investors
controlling GBT, including pri-
vate equity firms Advent Interna-
tional and Essex Woodlands, to
buy their 51.2-per-cent interest. It
is offering them a premium of 22
per cent to GBT’s 30-day volume-
weighted share price as of Oct.18.
Then it will launch a tender offer,
on the same terms, for the re-
maining publicly held shares.
Knight is paying the equivalent
of 8.5-times GBT’s adjusted earn-
ings before interest, taxes, depre-
ciation and amortization for the
past 12 months, which is “both an
attractive and a fair entry point
for such a highly strategic asset,”
Knight finance chief Samira Sak-
hia said. Total enterprise value for
the deal, including debt, is $418-
million.
Mr. Goodman and his manage-
ment team are betting big on La-
tin America, which they say is a
large pharmaceutical market that
is growing fast. With a big pres-

taking advantage of the positive
backdrop to raise equity to fi-
nance accretive acquisitions and
property development,” said Tyl-
er Swan, managing director of eq-
uity capital markets at CIBC
World Markets.
Even retail REITs are winning
investors back. Despite fears that
digital giants such as Amazon-
.com Inc. will steal business at an
alarming rate, retail landlords se-
cured tenant renewal rate in-
creases of roughly 4 per cent on
average in 2018, according to a
team of analysts at CIBC.
“We believe that the head-
winds facing the retail sector are
indeed real; however, the operat-
ing performance of the underly-
ing real estate appears to be at
odds with the significant unit
price underperformance relative
to other REIT sub-sectors,” the
analysts wrote in a note in early
October.
“It’s actors that are concealing
their identity, that are using fake
accounts, that are using other
techniques to make their content
appear more popular than it is,”
he said. “And here we’re taking
action not on the content itself,
but on the behaviour.”
Mr. Zuckerberg defended the
decision to allow political cam-
paigns to run misleading ads, ar-
guing it is necessary to protect
free speech. “I just think that we
have to not lose sight of the fact
that it’s also important to protect
people’s voice and free expres-
sion,” he said. “These are compet-
ing values at times, and if you on-
ly ever focus on the downside or
the risk of certain things, then
you’re naturally, over time, going
to restrict things maybe more
than would be ideal.”
The Facebook co-founder has
been on a charm offensive in re-
cent weeks ahead of a scheduled
appearance before a House of
Representatives financial com-
mittee Wednesday. In recent
days, Mr. Zuckerberg has met
with U.S. lawmakers, sat for inter-
views with Fox News and MSNBC
and issued a lengthy defence of
free speech in a talk at George-
town University.
In April, 2018, he was grilled
over two days on Capital Hill over
Facebook’s data-privacy practices
in the wake of the scandal involv-
ing British political consulting
firm Cambridge Analytica.
Wednesday’s congressional
hearing will focus on Facebook’s
efforts to develop a bitcoin-like
cryptocurrency and global pay-
ments system. The project,
known as Libra, has faced an in-
tense backlash from global finan-
cial regulators and an exodus of
high-profile business partners, in
large part because of Facebook’s
controversies involving data pri-
vacy and election interference.

ence in Brazil and Argentina, and
operations in eight other coun-
tries, GBT’s scale gives Knight the
ability to offer companies it li-
censes products from a “one-stop
shop” for the region, Ms. Sakhia
said.
“On the surface it looks good
because finally they’re … putting
money to work,” said Sebastian
van Berkom, whose Montreal in-
vestment firm owns Knight
shares.
The GBT takeover validates Mr.
Goodman’s strategy in replicat-
ing his past success with Paladin
Labs, GMP Securities analyst Jus-
tin Keywood said in a research
note. “We see GBT as adding stra-
tegic scale and entry into new
markets, which can act as a plat-
form for further growth,” he said.
“This particularly bodes well for
Knight shareholders with still
over $250-million in cash expect-
ed after [the deal closes].”
Medison has remained vocal
since losing its proxy fight, most
recently criticizing Knight’s com-
pany’s second quarter results in
August. But its tone could change
after this deal, said Mackie Re-
search analyst André Uddin. “We
believe this transaction should
appease Medison,” Mr. Uddin said
in a note.
A spokesman for Medison did
not immediately respond to a re-
quest for comment Monday.

JOSH O’KANE
TECHNOLOGY REPORTER
Google affiliate Sidewalk Labs has
been trying to win the support of
Canada’s venture-capital com-
munity in the months leading up
to a crucial make-or-break dead-
line for its proposal to develop a
high-tech neighbourhood on To-
ronto’s waterfront.
The New York urban-planning
firm co-hosted a dinner for about
15 venture capitalists (VCs) and
other investors on the rooftop
patio of the Broadview Hotel in
Toronto’s east end in July with
hopes to sell them on the contro-
versial project. It was co-hosted
by the Canadian Venture Capital
and Private Equity Association,
or CVCA.
Among those in attendance
were CVCA chief executive Kim
Furlong and chair Peter Dowse;
Sidewalk head Dan Doctoroff;
Mark Skapinker, managing part-
ner of Brightspark Ventures; Janet
Bannister, partner at Real Ven-
tures; and Bruce Croxon, manag-
ing partner of Round 13 Capital.
The Alphabet Inc. subsidiary
Sidewalk has since been taking
meetings with local VCs and
startups whose interests might
align with the kind of city-centric
technology it hopes to imple-
ment in its Toronto project, in-
cluding at the Canadian Innova-
tion Exchange conference in To-
ronto last week. Sidewalk re-
vealed in its June draft master
plan that it wanted to seed $10-
million into a venture fund for lo-
cal, early-stage companies fo-
cused on “urban innovation” and
is seeking co-investors to grow
the fund.
Tripartite development agen-
cy Waterfront Toronto awarded
Sidewalk the right to plan a 12-
acre plot of prime real estate on
the shore of Lake Ontario two
years ago this month. Since then,
the company has said it hopes to
implement technology there that
could improve urban life, from
AI-powered heating and cooling
to adaptive pedestrian crossings
to underground freight-and-
waste-moving systems.
The company has been
on a charm offensive for the past
two years as the ranks of its de-
tractors grew from a few vocal
tech executives and open-data
advocates to include politicians
from all three levels of govern-
ment, renowned academics, in-
tellectual-property lawyers and
the Canadian Civil Liberties Asso-
ciation.
The Globe and Mail reported
last spring that Sidewalk staff had
an exclusive dinner last October
with many of Ottawa’s top-rank-
ing deputy ministers at the feder-
al Department of Innovation. The
company also has regular meet-
ings with a large “advisory panel”
of dozens of urbanists, philan-
thropists and executives, and reg-
Dan Doctoroff, chief ularly lobbies all three levels of

THE GLOBE AND MAIL ahead of an Oct. 31 deadline.
The project has polarized the
country’s tech community, with
critics such as BlackBerry pioneer
Jim Balsillie arguing that Cana-
dians stand to lose out on mas-
sive future revenue opportunities
from Sidewalk-developed tech-
nologies. Others, such as Clear-
banc co-founders Michele Roma-
now and Andrew D’Souza, have
thrown their support behind the
project, calling it a catalyst for the
tech sector.
That tension extended to tech
investors who were invited to the
Sidewalk and CVCA’s dinner.
Some VCs who were invited de-
cided to stay away because of
frustrations about how Sidewalk
was addressing concerns from
the tech community. The meet-
ing focused on selling the bene-
fits of the Sidewalk project in gen-
eral, rather than a specific oppor-
tunity to co-invest in Sidewalk’s
fund. Sources invited to the meet-
ing were granted confidentiality
by The Globe, owing to fear of da-
maging business relationships.
Brightspark VC Mr. Skapinker
said that while there were some
pointed discussions about Side-
walk’s support for Canadian ven-
ture, “it was quite a positive meet-
ing.” Mr. Croxon, who attended
only briefly, said he remained
concerned about the Sidewalk
project’s unanswered questions.
Without guarantees around Can-
adian benefits from the project’s
intellectual property, “I am not in
favour of blindly going ahead,” he
said in an interview. (Ms. Bannis-
ter declined to comment, but
confirmed her attendance.)
Sidewalk’s director of invest-
ments is Nicole LeBlanc, who
joined from the Business Devel-
opment Bank of Canada last year.
Sidewalk declined to make any-
one available for an interview for
this story because of its contin-
uing negotiations with Water-
front Toronto.
Details of its venture fund are
expected to be revealed in the
coming weeks, should both Wa-
terfront Toronto and Sidewalk
agree to proceed after their Oct. 31
deadline.
The CVCA’s Ms. Furlong said in
an interview that Ms. LeBlanc
suggested to meet with the ven-
ture-capital community after
Sidewalk published its draft mas-
ter plan in June in order to share
details. “One of the key pillars of
our organization is to connect
people for co-investments and
deal flow,” Ms. Furlong said. “It
was a dinner to network, and for
Sidewalk Labs to talk about the
plan that had just been released.”
In August, Sidewalk joined
forces with the Ontario Teachers’
Pension Plan to launch an infras-
tructure-investment company
that would invest in projects
across North America.

Protests in Hong Kong are spurring residents to seek stability abroad
MICHAEL BOCIURKIW
OPINION
Global affairs analyst who has just
returned from Hong Kong and
Singapore
A
s Hong Kong enters its
fifth consecutive month of
protests, residents and
businesses are beginning to look
at safer havens overseas amid
growing uncertainty over the fu-
ture of this global business hub.
It must be a sense of déjà vu
for members of the older gener-
ation. In the run-up to the 1997
handover of Hong Kong to Chi-
na, many residents sought for-
eign passports and residences
abroad in case the promised
“one country, two systems”
framework fell apart. It is for this
reason that Hong Kong has the
second-largest concentration of
Canadian diaspora anywhere in
the world – about 300,000. Many
had come back to continue mak-
ing money, but normal life here
is anything but.
With no end in sight to the
violence – which has reduced
growth to around zero, decimat-
ed the tourism and retail sectors
and produced widespread dam-
age to public infrastructure –
emerging evidence suggests peo-
ple are once again voting with
their feet and seeking a safe
haven overseas.
Some argue that Hong Kong is
irreplaceable as an Asia-Pacific
financial hub and as China’s
“window to global capital.” But
even hardened and long-time ex-
pats – especially those with fam-
ilies – told me they are consid-
ering quitting the territory.
(Another factor lurking in the
background is China’s increas-
ingly aggressive position toward
foreign firms that are perceived
to be supportive of the Hong
Kong protest movement. And as
Starbucks discovered, being seen
as unsympathetic to the move-
ment can land you in the cross-
hairs of protesters.)
Among the safe havens receiv-
ing the most attention are Singa-
pore, Ireland, Portugal, Taiwan
and Canada – with Hong Kong’s
traditional rival Singapore ap-
pearing top of the list. In fact, as
of August, the city state received
four billion to five billion Hong
Kong dollars in capital flows
from Hong Kong, according to
Goldman Sachs. That represents
a big win for the city state and
should encourage it to respond
with incentives.
At a recent panel organized by
the Canadian Chamber of Com-
merce in Singapore, TD Securi-
ties’ Mitul Kotecha said: “Anec-
dotally I am hearing more and
more evidence that Singapore is
benefiting … . Singapore has
Nonetheless, in just the past
few years, we have moved from
the lab to a world where most
people are touched by AI. Indeed,
individual AI-use cases have pro-
liferated to the point we barely
notice them. We speak freely to AI
bots, have our phones unlock
easily and expect AI to correct our
spelling and grammar. We rely on
AI to tell us what we want to
watch, read, listen to and buy.
And in our workplaces, we are
seeing uses in work triage, fraud
detection, codification of rules
and data, and the elimination of
manual and repetitive work.
Boards and management teams
in companies have started to
learn what AI is and what it can
do – everyone is paying attention.
But is that it? These individual-
use cases solve small and specific
problems and are sometimes
classified as “narrow AI.” So far, AI
is useful but not yet broadly dis-
ruptive.
As with other general-purpose
technologies, however, disrup-
tion is likely around the corner.
AI has the potential to create a
change in who has economic
power. For instance, until recent-
ly, knowledge of the street system
and traffic patterns gave taxi-cab
drivers economic power. Their
knowledge hasn’t changed, but
their power is diminished. Why?
Because now, every other driver
has this knowledge and experi-
ence in the palm of their hands in
a navigation app.
The disruptive potential of AI
will likely hit upon individual
jobs first – taking away the power

It’s a foothold for a lot of South
Asia and Southeast Asia. It has a
rule of law that can be argued is
one of the best in the region. The
political system is one thing –
but the economic system works
well. It is trade-driven.”
During my recent visit to Sin-
gapore, executives in the real es-
tate and international school
sectors told me that inquiries
from Hong Kong were way up
from the precrisis period earlier
in the year.
Singapore and Hong Kong
have long been in competition
for capital and status. For many
years, the two competed for the
title of the world’s busiest con-
tainer port – but that has now
been taken over by Shanghai, an
indication of that city’s ascend-
ancy. However, with Hong
Kong’s proximity to China and
its status as a springboard into
the mainland, many foreign
companies regard it as incompa-
rable.
For Singapore to attract Hong
Kong’s best and brightest – as
well as a healthy share of its re-
gional headquarters – it will
need to undertake a number of
measures. Top of mind for me is
developing or attracting a hu-
man-resource base that is inno-
vative and shows less aversion to
risk. In my several interviews
with the founder of modern Sin-
gapore, the late Lee Kuan Yew,
he would often bemoan the fact
that his citizens are not risk
of those whose skills can be re-
placed with AI. At the same time,
the very same AI is enhancing the
value of other skills and provid-
ing the opportunity to focus on
other parts of jobs. We have seen
this before. Your human bank
teller didn’t lose their job with the
creation of ATMs (indeed, there
are more tellers, over all, today).
Instead, they expanded their
portfolio to better serve bank cus-
tomers in a variety of other ways
and create more value.
The disruptive potential
of AI will likely hit upon
individual jobs first –
taking away the power
of those whose skills
can be replaced with AI.
As AI improves, companies
and markets are next. New tech-
nologies have undercut the value
of companies in the past. Block-
buster may have been great at
running video-rental stores and
the internet didn’t change that. It
just meant that consumers didn’t
need a video-rental store any
more. AI – and its sidekick, full
automation – can do the same.
But it is actually quite difficult to
predict where disruption might
take hold. Sometimes, you don’t
know what gave you power until
it is gone.
Companies that can reimagine
work around new AI capabilities
can gain economic power. For ex-
ample, several companies are

ment centres by deploying AI-
powered robots that communi-

management systems. However,
the leaders in this space realized
that they should not just put the
AI robots into the existing ware-
houses, but needed to fundamen-
tally change the building design,
work flow and human jobs
around the capabilities (and the
current physical limitations) of
the AI robots.
So how do companies prepare
for the disruptive power of AI?
Unfortunately, there is no quick
fix.
It starts with a deep under-
standing of the key prediction
problems and sources of value
that if solved or unlocked could
open new markets or fundamen-
tally change the business. It re-
quires moving from specific-use
cases to being AI-enabled across
the company. This means AI
tools, data and capability to cre-
ate a platform for innovation in-
tegrated across functions. This re-
quires large investments in data
sourcing, governance and quality.
It also requires standardized AI
tools, and governance of the eth-
ical use of AI.
Success will hinge critically on
talent that understands both the
business and the technology, and
can connect across functions to
design and implement change.
Executives must also adapt their
work-force models, redesigning
jobs and retraining workers to
work with AI.
takers and that this would make
it difficult for Singapore to repli-
cate Silicon Valley.
And if the city wants to attract
more media and information
companies – especially those
with huge Asia-Pacific oper-
ations – it may need to loosen up
its information regulations.
The cost of living could also
position Singapore as a less at-
tractive haven compared with,
say, Portugal. Singapore is tied
with Hong Kong in cost of living
ranking – but ranks lower than
Hong Kong, New York and Tokyo
in housing unaffordability.
Interest in Portugal, and its
generous “golden visa” program,
has attracted several visits to
Hong Kong by Lisbon property
agents. “I believe the current
protests have created a strong in-
terest in property markets in Eu-
rope,” Lisbon property agent
Luiz Felipe Maia told the South

Engaging with the AI startup
community can also accelerate
change by helping you see be-
yond immediate use cases. New
ventures bring new imagination,
building awareness of how this
platform technology can shift ec-
onomic power. New ventures also
bring talent and a disruptor’s cul-

Finally, corporations, academ-
ic institutions and the broader
community need to start to come
together in their mindsets and ac-
tions to benefit from the digital
age – which means finding ways
to embrace disruption, control
their own destiny and use tech-
nology to the benefit of society.
The ability to do this will ulti-
mately define job creation,
growth and inclusion. Boards and
executives have a fiduciary re-
sponsibility to keep track of the
rapidly evolving technology land-
scape and ensure that technology
is being used to the benefit of cus-
tomers, workers and the commu-
nity, as well as shareholders.

part was getting started on AI, but
the more difficult jump is moving
from piloting specific-use cases to
managing the disruptive power

While the potential impact on
Canada is hard to pin down, it
should stand to reason that the

Lightspeed to pay up to $61-million
for its largest acquisition to date
Montreal-based software
company’s CFO says
it paid ‘fair price’ to
owners of Australian
firm Kounta Holdings
SEAN SILCOFF
TECHNOLOGY REPORTER
Montreal-based Lightspeed POS
Inc. has announced its third ac-
quisition since going public sev-
en months ago and the largest in
its 14-year history.
The cloud-based point-of-sale
software provider said late Sun-
day it had paid US$35.3-million in
cash and US$7.7-million in Light-
speed shares for Australia-based
Kounta Holdings Pty Ltd., whose
point-of-sale software is used by
more than 7,000 cafés, restau-
rants and boutique hotels in Aus-
tralia and New Zealand.
National Bank of Canada ana-
lyst Richard Tse said Kounta has
few overlapping customers with
Lightspeed, which provides soft-
ware for 51,000 retailers and res-
taurants to manage inventory
and accounting and provide pay-
ments services using multiple
computer devices. Additional
performance-based payouts
through 2021 could bring the to-
tal deal value to US$61.4-million.
Lightspeed chief financial offi-

price” to Kounta’s owners – the
company’s management and
Australian accounting software
company MYOB Technology Pty
Ltd. – amounting to 6.7 times its
US$6.4-million in revenue in the
year ended June 30.
“We’re not looking for bar-
gains as part of this [acquisition]
strategy,” Mr. Nussey said. “We’re
buying good healthy businesses
[and] we have to pay market
price for those.”
With the deal, Lightspeed has

BARRICK GOLD STOCK DOWN
DESPITE DEAL TO SETTLE
TANZANIA DISPUTE
Barrick Gold Corp. announced a
deal with the government of
Tanzania that will see the gold
miner pay US$300-million to
settle all outstanding tax and
other disputes over its mines in
the African country.
The company and Tanzania
are also to share the future
economic benefits from the
mines on an equal basis and
create a dispute resolution
framework.
On the Toronto Stock Ex-
change on Monday, Barrick fell
to $21.99, down more than 2.6
per cent.
The slide came despite the
deal announced on Sunday
matching the company’s key
expectations as revealed in an
announcement in July, analysts
pointed out.
“The announcement … by
Barrick is not too dissimilar to
the prior release and provides
incremental details on the path
forward,” Andrew Kaip of BMO
Nesbitt Burns said in a report.
“Though we see the trans-
action as slightly dilutive to
Barrick, it brings with it clarity
and the potential to add value
over time. We expect Barrick will
undertake a number of reviews
and studies to maximize asset
value.”
Under the agreement, a new
operating company called Twiga
Minerals Corp. has been formed
to manage the Bulyanhulu,
North Mara and Buzwagi mines
in Tanzania. The government is
to acquire a 16-per-cent stake in
each of the mines and will re-
ceive its half of the economic
benefits from taxes, royalties,
clearing fees and participation in
all cash distributions made by
the mines and Twiga.
Barrick took over the manage-
ment of the mines after buying
the stake in Acacia Mining that
it did not already own earlier
this year. Acacia and Tanzania
had been embroiled in a dispute
that started in 2017 when the
country handed the African gold
miner a US$190-billion tax bill.

Sticking the branding

EU regulator expects to lift flight ban on 737 Max no earlier than January
TIM HEPHER
European regulators expect to
clear Boeing Co.’s grounded 737
Max to return to service in Janu-
ary at the earliest, after flight
trials by European test pilots
scheduled for mid-December, Eu-
rope’s top aviation-safety official
said.
The head of the European
Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) declined to estimate
when U.S. regulators would make
their own decision to lift a flight
ban imposed in March, but said
any gap between the agencies
would be a matter of weeks rath-
er than months.
Boeing has said it aims to re-
turn the jet to service by year end
following changes to cockpit soft-
ware and training in the wake of
two fatal crashes that sparked
the grounding in March.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration (FAA) has primary
responsibility for lifting the ban
and is expected to be followed by
other regulators including EASA,
but there have been reported
concerns that other agencies
could be slow to act.
“For me, it is going to be the
beginning of next year, if every-
thing goes well. As far as we know
today, we have planned for our
flight tests to take place in mid-
December, which means deci-
sions on a return to service for Ja-
nuary, on our side,” EASA exec-
utive director Patrick Ky said late
on Friday.
He said a return to service of
the Max would be co-ordinated
with the FAA as much as possi-
ble, but that the two agencies
had slightly different processes
and consultation requirements.
“So we may end up with a cou-
ple of weeks of time difference
but we are not talking about six
months; we are talking about a
delay which, if it happens, will be
due mostly to process or admin-
istrative technicalities.”
Mr. Ky was speaking shortly
before the disclosure of internal
Boeing pilot messages from 2016
plunged the plane maker into
fresh turmoil. On Monday, he de-
clined to comment on the mess-
ages.
Some analysts and unions sug-
gested the texts could further de-
lay a return to service, but FAA
officials said after the release
they did not expect the messages
would affect tentative plans for a
certification flight in early No-
vember. The FAA says it needs at
least 30 days from that flight to
end the grounding.
A European source said there
were no immediate signs of an
impact.
HUMAN FACTORS
However, the timing for un-
grounding the Max is not set in
stone and depends on a number
of outstanding checks.
The FAA is waiting for a final
Boeing system update designed
to avoid MCAS (manoeuvring
characteristics augmentation
system) control software push-
ing the Max’s nose downward
owing to data from a single faulty
angle-of-attack (AOA) or airflow
sensor. Instead, MCAS will mon-
itor both sensors.
EASA has not withdrawn a
suggestion that only a third sen-
sor would make the system fool-
proof, but says it is prepared to
set its concerns aside – at least on
a transitional basis – if a separate
exercise aimed at improving pi-
lot procedures can make the
workload from such faults man-
ageable for an “average” crew.
All the decisions that
we took on this project
were technical decisions.
We don’t do politics.
PATRICK KY
EASA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
“We are still looking at the
changes made by Boeing on their
flight control computers which
they did over the summer and
early September. We are entering
a critical stage in the project
where we look at the human-fac-
tor issues and how much in
terms of workload a crew can
take in terms of alarms,” Mr. Ky
said.
The workload tests will be car-
ried out together with the FAA,
but EASA will perform its own
flight and simulator tests.
These will help EASA decide
whether to rely solely on im-
proved cockpit procedures so
that pilots can easily cope with
any sensor outage, or demand
another technical safety net to
make it harder for sensor data to
disappear in the first place.
“The two are complementary
… If you want better AOA integri-
ty, one obvious way would be to
add another sensor, which is not
easy to do,” Mr. Ky said.
TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
If EASA concludes an extra fall-
back is still needed, Mr. Ky did
not exclude making this a “syn-
thetic” or computerized sensor
capable of imitating a probe and
sending calculated data to air-
craft systems to supplement data
from actual sensors.
“This has never been done be-
fore, but we are open to discuss-
ing all possible solutions with
Boeing,” Mr. Ky said.
He did not rule out introduc-
ing a transitional period in which
the plane could be cleared with
reduced pilot overload.
“If you have a new operational
procedure which simplifies the
workloads for pilots and enables
you to arrive at an acceptable lev-
el … this can be done for the re-
turn to service,” he said. “Now, is
this level acceptable for a longer
period than just the transitional
period? That is something we
need to assess.”
The outcome of the workload
tests will also influence what
training is required, Mr. Ky said.
Mr. Ky dismissed concerns that
competition between global reg-
ulators would hamper a smooth
worldwide return to service.
“There is no real competition
between regulators,” he said.
He also rebuffed suggestions
from some analysts that EASA is
dragging its feet or allowing re-
cent transatlantic political ten-
sions to sharpen its scrutiny of
the U.S.-made jet.
“All the decisions that we took
on this project were technical de-
cisions. We don’t do politics.”
Asked whether regulators now
fully understood the accidents,
the first of which is due to trigger
a final Indonesian accident re-
port later this month, Mr. Ky cit-
ed a combination of factors.
“With hindsight everything is
much easier. … The interaction
between the machine and the
human is never completely ratio-
nal; it is a human-machine inter-
face,” he said.
“There were design mistakes
for sure – the MCAS should never
have been designed the way it
was designed – and bad luck.”
Boeing has said the accidents
were caused by chains of events
of which the performance of
MCAS represented one link.
On Sunday, it said it had devel-
oped improvements to the 737
Max that would ensure similar
crashes never happened again.

Emphasis on local helps hotelier thrive amid competition
Makeover of Delta’s
hotel in Calgary keeps
authenticity front
and centre in bid to
strengthen market share
JOEL SCHLESINGER
W
alk into the lobby of
Delta Hotel’s Marriott in
downtown Calgary, and
you’ll find decor and design suit-
ed to an upscale Calgary home: a
stunning Hudson’s Bay-inspired
rug, featuring wide stripes in var-
ying shades of blue and indigo is
sprawled across whitewashed
oak floors; surveyor-style lamps
stand like sentries, overlooking
wood-framed, birch-tinted chairs
and a grey fabric sectional ac-
cented with golden-yellow throw
pillows. High up above, an up-
side down, frosted-white canoe
hangs suspended in mid-air – a
soft, calming glow emanating
from the near-transparent skin
stretched across its frame.
This is the first complete
makeover undertaken by Delta
in more than a decade. The care-
fully redesigned space was moti-
vated by a desire to attract locals
and travel-weary guests alike to
Delta’s pre-eminent downtown
location.
When guests arrive, they are
greeted with tasteful and elegant
Canadiana-inspired design and
decor. Moving into the space,
guests can discover a key compo-
nent of this redesign: the hotel’s
desire to place food and bever-
age at centre stage.
For instance, the brand-new
Shoe and Canoe Public House
and Restaurant is a lounge that
reflects a blend of new and old
Canadiana, a recurring theme in-
fused throughout the hotel –
from the reception desk to each
individual guest room.
THE FOCUS ON LOCAL
IS STRATEGIC
Perhaps, a more apt description
for the hotel’s new style is
“Calgar-iana.”
“Our big concept for the Delta
was based on the notion of Cal-
gary as ever-changing, which you
can look at in so many different
ways,” says Adèle Rankin, princi-
pal of the firm that conceived
the redesign, CHIL Interior
Design.
From the local weather, see-
sawing from ice and snow one
minute to balmy chinooks the
next, to the cyclical boom econo-
my, the city is constantly shifting
from one state to the next, Ms.
Rankin says.
The new design, a fusion of
rope-knit textiles lining feature
walls, all interspersed with plen-
ty of wood and leather, is an in-
tentional “tip of the Stetson” to
the city’s heritage and cowboy
roots. In fact, the $27-million
makeover – part of a larger effort
by parent company Marriott In-
ternational to update its Delta
brand – echoes recent industry
trends that have seen hotels pur-
posefully redesigned to empha-
size all that is local.
By adopting this trend, the ho-
telier is upping its game in a

consumers. Examples include
Homes & Villas for an Airbnb-
style experience, and the Auto-
graph Collection for travellers
seeking more of a boutique-style
stay.
REDESIGN, REFOCUS AND
CAPTURE MORE MARKET SHARE
IS HOTELIER’S AIM
New design motifs aside, the lat-
est upgrades are meant to appeal
to Delta’s core clients: business
travellers seeking a “streamlined
experience … who want to get
the job done and get out,” Ms.
Faryna says. These key custom-
Q |
ers of Delta are also increasingly
seeking an authentic experience.
“They certainly don’t want a
cookie-cutter look.”
Much of the four-star Calgary
hotel has been redesigned with
this in mind, with each guest
room slightly different from the
next – and all featuring local art-
work.
“It really was the perfect time
to renovate not only because it
was needed,” Ms. Faryna says,
but because the hotel’s previous
style was outdated, its materials
worn out. This remodel enabled
us to capture our new design
strategy for the Delta brand,
which is under way across North
America.
That the Marriott is embark-
ing on such an ambitious make-
over strategy for its Delta line is
hardly surprising, says Ray
Wong, vice-president of data op-
erations for the data solutions
team at Altus Group Ltd.
Retooling hotels is a means
“to increase or maintain reve-
nue,” he says. “The hotel sector is
very competitive, and for hotel
companies to succeed, they need
to offer a variety of choices” that
appeal to the changing tastes of
customers. Increasingly, that in-
cludes exceptional culinary ex-
periences – from vegan menu
options to local microbrews,
craft cocktails and more.
Mr. Wong says hotel operators
have become very good at im-
proving efficiency and amenities
over the past decade, especially
after the 2008-09 recession,
TU ESDAY, OC TOB ER 22, 2019
which hit the industry very hard.
The formula seems to be
working. Hotels are thriving,
especially in Canada’s west,
according to a recent industry-
outlook report compiled by
CMRE Hotels. For hotels through-
out Western Canada, it found
that the revenue per available
room (RevPAR) – the key
measure of profitability – grew
by 7.2 per cent last year, com-
pared with just 4.7 per cent in
Central Canada.
Within those statistics, the
city of Calgary leads the way,
with its RevPAR up 7.5 per cent.
Business travel also grew by 2.3
per cent in Alberta last year and
is forecast to grow by 2.2 per cent
this year. Tourism follows close
behind, with overnight stays
forecast to grow by 2 per cent.
REDESIGN MAKES FOR AN EASIER
SELL FOR TRAVEL OPERATORS
According to Yves Marceau of G
Adventures, a leading provider
of small-group tours, the rede-
signed Delta does grab the atten-
tion of tour operators.
“They’re on the right track,”
says Mr. Marceau, vice-president
of product development for the
Canadian company. He adds that
tourists are increasingly seeking
“authentic experiences,” includ-
ing those with an emphasis on
food and drink.
Ms. Rankin says that this focus
on authenticity is what positions
the Shoe and Canoe Public
House and Restaurant as the
heart of the hotel’s new design.
Besides the menu, which in-
cludes a locally brewed house
beer, the Shoe and Canoe un-
folds organically from the hotel’s
reception, a design element Ms.
Rankin refers to as the “path of
discovery” that has eliminated
the “compartmentalized” feel of
the previous layout.
“We focused on blowing out
the space to make it flow and al-
low people to discover as they
see fit,” Ms. Rankin says.
The theme also pays homage
to Hudson’s Bay Company ex-
plorer David Thompson – count-
ed among the first Europeans to
visit the region more than 200
years ago.
Ms. Rankin says the motif of
exploration works to pique the
curiosity of guests and locals
alike and inspire them to discov-
er all that awaits inside – from
the restaurant and brew pub to
the intimate lounge presided
over by a faintly glowing canoe.
Indeed, ease of access and
comfort are redesign hallmarks
of the Shoe and Canoe and the
entire Delta chain. Grab a coffee,
order a beer, nosh on an
appetizer, enjoy a full-course
meal – or not.
The whole point of the Delta
makeover is to create a relaxed
atmosphere that allows guests
and locals to enjoy and
experience without feeling the
need to set a purpose or stick to
an agenda.
Ms. Rankin adds that for
downtown hotels, which typical-
ly cater to the business crowd,
this is an atmosphere that has
been “traditionally difficult for
hotels to provide.”

Four drug companies reach deal in U.S. opioid case

One producer and
three distributors
come to agreement
with two Ohio counties,
but fall short of striking
a wider arrangement
to end all litigation
KATHY GRAY
Four large drug companies
reached a last-minute US$260-
million legal settlement on Mon-
day over their role in the U.S.
opioid addiction epidemic, strik-
ing a deal with two Ohio counties
to avert the first federal trial over
the crisis.
However, drug distributors
AmerisourceBergen Corp., Car-
dinal Health Inc. and McKesson
Corp. and drugmaker Teva Phar-
maceutical Industries Ltd. fell
short of a wider deal worth tens of
billions of dollars to end all
opioid litigation against them.
The distributors, which handle
around 90 per cent of U.S. pre-
scription drugs, will pay a com-
bined US$215-million immediate-
ly. Israel-based drug maker Teva
is paying US$20-million in cash
and will contribute US$25-million
worth of Suboxone, an opioid ad-
diction treatment, according to
Hunter Shkolnik, a lawyer for the
counties.
Teva, the world’s largest gener-
ic drug maker, will makes its con-
tribution over 18 months, accord-
ing to Mr. Shkolnik.
The deal settles claims brought
by Ohio’s Cuyahoga and Summit
counties, which had accused the
companies of fuelling a nation-
wide opioid crisis. Some 400,000
U.S. overdose deaths between
1997 and 2017 were linked to
opioids, according to govern-
ment data.
As part of a settlement, Teva, whose logo appears above a trading post at the New York Stock Exchange on
Monday, will pay US$20-million in cash and contribute US$25-million worth of Suboxone, an opioid addiction
treatment. RICHARD DREW/ASSOCIATED PRESS
“While the companies strongly
dispute the allegations made by
the two counties, they believe set-
tling the bellwether trial is an im-
portant stepping stone to achiev-
ing a global resolution and deliv-
ering meaningful relief,” the dis-
tributors said a joint statement.
Teva declined to comment.
The bellwether or test trial was
meant to help shape a broader
settlement of some 2,600 pend-
ing lawsuits over the toll opioids
have taken on local communities
and the country.
Late on Friday, talks collapsed
that were aimed at reaching a
US$48-billion global settlement
of all opioid litigation against the
same defendants.
Shares in the companies had
risen last week in anticipation of
a broader deal. On Monday,
shares of the big three drug dis-
tributors were down from more
than 2 per cent to 4 per cent, hav-
ing trimmed some earlier losses.
“We are not surprised to see
distributor shares giving back
some of last week’s gains as un-
certainty persists in this extreme-
ly complex litigation,” Baird ana-
lyst Eric Coldwell wrote in a note.
The settlement, if extrapolated
to a nationwide deal resolving all
litigation for the four defendants,
suggests a settlement value of
around US$48-billion, based on a
court-approved allocation for-
mula.
“We’re still at the table,” said
Joe Rice, a lawyer for the local
governments, who indicated the
timing of payments was a sticking
point. “This should be a global
settlement, but it’s got to be fair
and it’s got to be now.”
The judge overseeing the case,
Dan Polster, said he would work
out a new trial date for the re-
maining defendant, pharmacy
chain operator Walgreens Boots
Alliance Inc.
Lawyers representing the local
governments said in a statement
on Monday that the litigation had
revealed the country’s pharmacy
system “has played a greater role
in the opioid epidemic than pre-
viously realized.”
Walgreens said in a statement
on Monday that it only sold
opioids to fill a valid prescription
written by a licensed physician. It
said it was diligent to prevent the
diversion of controlled substan-
ces.
A sixth defendant, the smaller
distributor Henry Schein Inc.,
said on Monday it had been dis-
missed as a defendant from the
trial after agreeing to a deal worth
around US$1.25-million.
The lawsuits accuse drug mak-
ers of overstating the benefits of
opioids while playing down the
risks. Distributors allegedly failed
to flag and halt a rising tide of sus-
picious orders, shipping vast
amounts of the pills across the
country.
Drug makers have denied
wrongdoing, arguing their prod-
ucts carried U.S. Food and Drug
Administration-approved labels
that warned of the addictive risks
of opioids. They say they did not
cause the toll the epidemic has
had on states and localities.
Distributors had argued that
they made up only “one compo-
nent of the pharmaceutical sup-
ply chain,” and their role was to
make sure medicines prescribed
by licensed doctors were availa-
ble for patients.
Monday’s settlements add to
deals worth US$66.4-million that
the two Ohio counties earlier
struck with drug companies Mal-
linckrodt Pharmaceuticals PLC,
Endo International PLC, Johnson
& Johnson and Allergan PLC.
Armond Budish, county exec-
utive of Cuyahoga, Ohio, said Fri-
day’s proposed global settlement,
which had the support of state at-
torneys-general, would have dis-
tributed funds over 18 years, not
immediately. “People are dying
now,” he said.
Cuyahoga County has said it
will use the funds to expand resi-
dential treatment beds, increase
emergency care follow-up and to
create alternatives to jailing low-
level drug offenders, among oth-
er initiatives.
Mr. Polster has aggressively
pushed for a settlement that
“could do something meaningful
to abate this crisis.”
Pharmacy chains and drug dis-
tributors unsuccessfully tried to
remove the outspoken judge
from the case, saying he was
biased and had pressed too hard
for a costly settlement.

Shell withdraws from Kazakhstan offshore oil project

Royal Dutch Shell has pulled out
of the Khazar offshore project
next to the giant Kashagan field
in Kazakhstan and a multination-
al consortium including Shell is
also dropping plans for the ad-
joining Kalamkas block, officials
said on Monday.
“The [Khazar] project was not
competitive enough versus other
opportunities in Shell’s global
portfolio,” the company said.
Shell had invested about
US$900-million in Khazar, a unit
of Kazakh state energy firm Kaz-
MunayGaz said in a statement.
Shell, KazMunayGaz and
Oman Oil Co. were partners in
Khazar, part of the Pearls offshore
block. It was not immediately un-
clear if either of its two partners
planned to buy Shell’s stake.
Kazakh authorities said a con-
sortium including Shell, Eni, Ex-
xonMobil, CNPC, Total, Inpex and
KazMunayGaz was also quitting
Kalamkas, for which it holds the
licence.
The Kalamkas-Khazar project
costs were estimated at US$5-bil-
lion with production starting in
the late 2020s, according to Wood
Mackenzie analyst Ashley Sher-
man.
“Whether it’s because of tough
logistics or complex geology, the
shallow waters of Kazakhstan’s
offshore face obstacles to full
competitiveness against lower-
cost deepwater opportunities
elsewhere in the world,” Mr.
Sherman said.
Energy companies have spent
more than US$50-billion on de-
veloping Kashagan, which has
been plagued by delays and cost
overruns.

How one steel manufacturer found prosperity in the booming region

S teelcon Fabrication Inc. was

about to sign a contract on a
new location in Mississauga when
the phone rang – a warehouse had
become available in Niagara.
The family-run structural steel
fabricator had been searching for a
second site for nearly two years and,
in the fall of 2018, the decision to
move out of the Greater Toronto Area
was an easy one.
Over the course of 15 years, Steel-

business to a team of more than
100 employees. What had started
as a small business rolling steel to
construct buildings for banks, fast
food chains and retail stores quickly
surged to take on hospitals, college
campuses and public transportation
hubs. Its 65,000-square-foot facility
in Brampton was pumping beyond
capacity, and the business needed
a space where it could expand its
production, talent pool and access to
new markets.
“Niagara was the place,” says Steel-
con’s Danny Bianco. “It has the full
package for us. And we didn’t find
this total package anywhere else.”
Initially, Steelcon’s search spanned

Investors now await the re-
sponse from large minority sha-
reholders who had been shouting
from the rooftops that the previ-
ous offer was far too cheap, specif-
ically because of the real estate. A
key factor will be their own as-

Hudson’s Bay and Saks Fifth Ave-

town locations.
Some contend the real estate

Foulkes, who pegged it at $28.

major asset sales.

HBC: Baker’s bid comes at time of steep challenges
FROM B1
The new buyout offer comes at a
62-per-cent premium to the price
of HBC stock prior to the consorti-
um’s opening bid last June. HBC
shares last traded on Friday at
$9.45 and the stock price jumped
6 per cent on Monday to close at
$10.03 on the Toronto Stock Ex-
change. The bid is structured as a
purchase by the company of HBC
shares for cancellation, and this
approach could have negative tax
consequences for some HBC sha-
reholders, including high-net-
worth individuals and hedge
funds, compared with a typical
takeover offer.
Mr. Baker’s buyout needs to be
approved by a majority of HBC’s
minority shareholders, and also
needs the support of 75 per cent of
shareholders who vote at a
planned special meeting on the
offer that the company said will
take place in December. Minority
shareholders include Land &
Buildings Investment Manage-
ment LLC and Catalyst Capital
Group Inc., which also dismissed
the opening offer from Mr. Bak-
er’s group as inadequate. Catalyst
and Lands & Buildings declined to
comment on Monday on the new
offer.
Private-equity fund Sandpiper
Group also holds a stake in HBC –
the Vancouver-based company
declined to disclose the size of the
position – and CEO Samir Manji
said in an interview: “We don’t
view this offer as acceptable.” Mr.
Manji said his company’s analysis
shows the bid undervalues HBC’s
properties. Mr. Manji said at a
time when real estate markets are
soaring, “all of a sudden they got
an appraisal that reduces the val-
ue of Saks Fifth Avenue by more
than 50 per cent.”
Mr. Baker and his consortium
are framing the decision facing
minority shareholders as a choice
between the certainty of cash ver-
sus the risk of continuing to own
aging stores facing steadily rising
competition from digital plat-
forms such as Amazon.com Inc.
HBC’s most recent financial re-
sults showed that the company
lost $709-million in the past six
months, on sales of $3.7-billion.
HBC said the $10.30 offer “pro-

The shares were also priced at a
lower level than the marketing
range set by the underwriters. Yet
AltaGas Canada has watched its
share price rise precipitously in
2019, climbing 57 per cent before
the pension funds announced
their offer Monday. When the
company reported earnings in
August, management announced
higher capital spending, and said
it would be able to fund the ex-
penditures largely with its inter-
nal cash flow.
At the same time, AltaGas also
boosted its annual dividend by 9.5
per cent, partly owing to a better
debt-refinancing rate than ex-
pected at the time of its IPO.
With interest rates falling
around the world, sending bond
yields lower, the values of divi-
dend-stocks have jumped.

controversial as the bidding

minority shareholders, the large-
st of which is Toronto-based Cata-
lyst Capital Group Inc. with 16 per
cent.
That leaves just $1.55 a share for
the retail businesses. Since last
October, HBC has made several
moves aimed at raising cash and
refocusing its operations. They in-
clude the $1.1-billion sale of its
flagship Lord and Taylor building
in Manhattan to WeWork, the
$1.5-billion sale of European oper-
ations, the closing of the Home
Outfitters stores and, in August,
the sale of Lord and Taylor to Le
Tote. This has done nothing to im-
prove the share price, which is
down from a high of more than
$28.50 in 2015.

Mr. Baker’s group increased its
offer in the wake of a valuation
commissioned by the special
committee and conducted by TD
Securities Inc. that stated HBC
stock is worth between $10 and
$12.25 a share. The committee also
hired two real estate appraisal
companies and they pegged the
price of HBC’s 79 properties,
many of which are in downtown
locations, at $8.75 a share. That is
well below the $20-plus-per-
share value on HBC real estate put
forward in recent years by share-
holders such as Land & Buildings.
HBC disclosed on Monday that its
properties are worth $6-billion
and carry $3.5-billion of debt.
The sweetened bid for HBC
comes at a time when depart-
ment stores face significant chal-
lenges, as their customers shift to
online shopping. Since Mr. Bak-
er’s consortium made its opening
offer in June, rival Barneys New
York filed for bankruptcy and Ma-
cy’s Inc. stock price fell by 30 per
cent. Office real estate companies
– potential buyers and renovators
of department stores – also face
headwinds, with WeWork pulling
a long-planned initial public of-
fering this month.
After reviewing HBC’s proper-
ties, the special committee said:
“Redeveloping the company’s
real estate would not result in cre-
ating additional value for share-
holders in the foreseeable future,
compared to the certain value
one year ago, spokesperson Vere-
na Garofalo said PSP has “studied
the company, its assets and its
management team for some time,
and ultimately were able to com-
plete a transaction yesterday at
the end of its strategic review that
we are pleased with and fits well
with our investment strategy.”
AltaGas has been hindered by
its small size relative to large Can-
adian utilities, but in early Octo-
ber, RBC Dominion Securities
analyst Robert Kwan wrote in a
note to clients that “if AltaGas
Canada were a large cap utility, we
believe it might trade at the high-
est valuation for the entire Cana-
dian peer group.”
He wrote that the company
“checks many boxes that utility
investors are looking for.” They in-
clude a gas distribution business,
the potential for growth in its reg-
ulated revenues and the ability for
the company to fund expansion
with its own cash flow.
After the IPO, AltaGas Ltd. held
comes as it deals with a depart-
ment-store environment marked
by 4-per-cent annual sales de-
clines over the past five years in
the United States. That compares
with growth in online retail of 14
per cent a year in 2018 alone.
Weakening store sales are not
the insider group’s only problem.
Playing in the background are the
financial woes of one its own, We-
Work. The New York-based com-
pany, once valued as high as
US$47-billion, was forced to scrap
plans for an initial public offering
last month when its value was es-
timated at US$10-billion to US$12-
billion. It has since parted ways
with its CEO, Adam Neumann,
and begun a search for new fund-
ing to avoid a cash crunch.
Catalyst Capital and other mi-
nority shareholders, including
Land & Buildings Investment
Management and Sandpiper
Group, will undoubtedly criticize
the sweetened offer as being only
slightly less inadequate than be-
fore.
But given the struggles at HBC
and all that’s surrounding the of-
fer, it’s tough to imagine Mr. Baker
and his allies upping the ante a
second time.

Doctors: MD clients voice
concerns over company no
longer being independent
FROM B1
After closing the MD deal, Scotiabank quickly set up a phy-
sician banking package in March to complement the in-
vestment services offered by MD. The banking package of-
fers special banking fees for medical students and residents,
as well as practising and retired physicians.
A week later, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
followed suit with a banking service for doctors and den-
tists, while Bank of Montreal introduced its services in June,
including accounts and investments for veterinarians, phar-
macists and optometrists.
Royal Bank of Canada was the last to announce its en-
trance into banking for health-care professionals and stu-
dents, with its launch at the end of August.
But the race to win over the medical community will not
be an easy one. Many doctors felt betrayed by the Canadian
Medical Association, the former owner of MD Financial,
which announced the sale of MD without vetting its 90,000
members.
The CMA launched the service 50 years ago to provide
financial-planning services focused solely on physicians
and their family members. It had been marketed as “owned
by physicians for physicians” and some members never
thought it would be sold.
A number of doctors immediately took to social media to
protest against the sale, with many expressing frustration of
the lack of consultation before the deal was done. As well,
MD clients voiced concerns that the firm was no longer
independent and their financial information would be
handed over to a bank without their approval.
Now, as the banks look at opportunities to pounce, some
doctors remain wary about the number of new “special-
ized” services that are being aimed at them from the Big
Five.
Some doctors say the banks brought their ideas forward
too quickly with discounted interest rates, specialized bank
accounts and low-fee investments that don’t seem all that
new or competitive. As well, for those doctors who want to
see what other banks are offering, branch staff appear to be
unaware of the new services or can’t approve advertised
interest rates on loans or credit.
“I think all the banks have rushed to market and the left
hand is not speaking to the right hand,” says Vladislav
Miropolsky, a neuroradiologist at Cambridge Memorial Hos-
pital and a clinical assistant professor at McMaster Uni-
versity.
After looking to consolidate student loans and business
accounts under one roof, Dr. Miropolsky was surprised that
many branch employees did not know about any “doctor
discounts.”
He also found the special offers across the banks to be
too similar and not competitive enough to prompt him to
make a move. In the end, Dr. Miropolsky decided to keep
his previously set up banking services and accounts at five
financial institutions – including a small investment ac-
count remaining at MD.
Akash Sinha, a pediatrician
from Vancouver, was similarly
frustrated after contacting sever- Royal Bank of

couraging.”
The banks will need to address the problems quickly to
win over a market segment they have long coveted.
There are about 89,900 physicians in Canada, according
to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, and ana-
lysts estimate MD serves about 30 per cent of them – leav-
ing plenty of opportunity for the remaining banks to focus
on. Sixty-three per cent of MD’s assets are from clients who
have more than $1-million each invested with MD.
Typically, physicians earn six-figure salaries and are self-
employed business owners. They face unique challenges as
they enter the work force at a later age and tick off several
key boxes for banking needs, such as loans and mortgages,
business accounts, retirement planning and insurance.
As well, medical students come with higher levels of
debt. According to the CMA, a third of medical residents
expect their debt to be more than $100,000 and 19 per cent
expect it to exceed $160,000 before entering a practice.
Providing competitive lines of credits for medical stu-
dents can become quite fruitful for the banks. But from
there, the service that students were receiving was not con-
sistent, TD’s Mr. Kelly said.
“I think the way these clients were serviced before was
really fractured,” he adds.
“If you think about what they really need to be success-
ful, they need a team of professionals all working together
for them.”
To launch its program, TD hired 20 private bankers who
are solely dedicated to serving physician clients. Another 10
private bankers will join the team before the end of 2019.
Mr. Kelly wanted to provide the same experience as MD,
and trained an additional 50 investment advisers on doc-
tors’ specific financial needs. Financial advisers typically
help clients manage their investment portfolios, which
can include portfolio management, financial planning
and wealth preservation for retirees. Private banking, mean-
while, generally caters to high-net-worth individuals
looking for a dedicated banker for day-to-day banking
needs.
The bank also set up a direct telephone hotline for fi-
nancial planning where, regardless of their asset levels, a
doctor can be connected with a certified financial planner.
Students can set up budgets while more established doctors
can create a full investment plan.
“It’s how we are going to beat the segment,” Mr. Kelly
said.
Despite the disruption and new competition, it appears
Scotiabank has held on to the MD assets it acquired, defying
critics who predicted a mass exodus in the face of doctor
anger about the deal.
In the past year, MD has added $1-billion to the $49-
billion in assets it acquired. The bank also signed 12 new
partnerships with medical organizations, and now has a
total of 15 organizations that refer doctors to MD as a pre-
ferred provider.
Scotiabank would not agree to an interview about the
MD acquisition, but Glen Gowland, Scotiabank’s global
head of wealth management, said in a blog on the bank’s
website that he isn’t concerned about the growing competi-
tion.
“The experience and expertise that MD has developed
over the past 50 years simply cannot be replicated,” he
wrote. “We have focused on ensuring that clients continue
to receive what they have always valued from MD and now
you add to that all of the capabilities that Scotia has to offer
as well.”

W
hen Joy Yap decided to
leave the safety of her ca-
reer in marketing and
start her own company in 2016,
she knew she wanted to reach for-
eign shores.
“When I first started, I always
had the idea of being not just a
Canadian company,” Ms. Yap says.
“I wanted to be around the world.”
Then she began to get orders. “I
thought, ‘Oh my God, how am I
going to do this?’ ”
Three years later, Wyld Skin-
care manufactures products in
Canada and in China and distrib-
utes them in six countries.
While the Toronto-based busi-
ness is expanding, the journey
has not been without challenges.
Ms. Yap recalls a large order from a
major U.S. retailer in the early
days. The contract had a strict de-
livery date. No product by that
date, no payment.
“I have 130,000 units en route
by ship to the destination,” Ms.
Yap remembers.
“There was a government shut-
down [in the United States] and
my goods were stuck in customs
and I’m freaking out.”
Her entire business future was
at the mercy of tumultuous U.S.
politics. “I was really scared be-
cause it would immediately end
our business and everything that
we worked for,” Ms. Yap says.
The shutdown ended, the ship-
ment was released and today,
Wyld is expanding its reach.
Wyld stands for “What You
Love Doing.” And Ms. Yap does.
She launched with a simple reus-

roots of the konjac plant found in
Asia. The company now offers a

The business is also successful.
Ms. Yap won’t provide sales fig-
ures, but says the company is
profitable with 500-per-cent
growth in the second year versus
the first year of operations.
Wyld’s story is not an anomaly.
Canada is a contender in the $30-
billion a year global cosmetics in-
dustry. Canada was the 10th large-
st exporter of cosmetic products,
according to a 2014 report for the
Conference Board of Canada, ac-
counting for 3 per cent of global
trade in beauty and makeup prod-
ucts for the lips and eyes, skin-
care products such as sunscreen,
moisturizing creams and anti-ag-
ing creams, as well as manicure
and pedicure preparations.
In an industry dominated by a
handful of global megabrands
such as Estée Lauder, L’Oréal and
Revlon, Canadian retailers and
manufacturers have managed to
carve out a reliable portion of
GROWING GLOBALLY
global trade.
“What’s growing really is the
fact that it’s made in Canada. It’s a
competitive advantage,” says Ma-
non Pilon, president and director
of research and development for
Saint-Laurent, Que.-based Derme
& Co. “Health Canada is recog-
nized as being one of the strictest
worldwide with their standards.
So having the highest standard of
manufacturing and processes,
you’re almost guaranteed quality
as far as the process,” Ms. Pilon
says.
“You have some kind of safety
because of those high standards.”
Derme & Co. develops and
manufactures products for the
beauty, salon, spa and nail mar-
kets, and provides consulting ser-
vices. The company acquired Lab-
oratoire Druide Inc. in 2016 and
distributes products such as Nelly
De Vuyst organic products for the
spa market, as well as brands for
other companies.
“I just had a client that came
from China who researched and
came to us,” Ms. Pilon says. “For
them, it was very important that
on their cosmetics was written
‘Made in Canada.’ ”
The company exports products
to a host of countries such as the
U.S., China and Dubai, as well as
across parts of Southeast Asia and
Central America.
With an estimated 100 new
brands introduced every day in
North America, it’s a competitive
market, Ms. Pilon says. In 2012,
Canada exported close to
US$900-million of cosmetics, pri-
marily from Ontario and Quebec,
according to the Conference
Board of Canada report.
The U.S. accounts for two-
thirds of Canadian foreign sales of
cosmetics, but emerging markets
are playing an increasingly im-
portant role in market growth,
owing to expansion of the middle
class around the world.
Aided by aging consumers and
the increasing use by men of cos-
metic products, the result was a
50-per-cent increase in global
sales of these products from 2006
to 2012, according to the Confer-
ence Board report.

The Cosmetics Alliance, for in-

al and provincial regulations.
For natural-health products,
the certification assures foreign
customers that the products meet
the regulatory requirements of
the Natural Health Products Di-
rectorate of Canada.
Even so, there can still be unex-
pected setbacks. Ms. Pilon spent
three years fighting a counterfeit
product by a company that regis-
tered one of her brands in China.
There are also language bar-
riers, regulatory hurdles, cultural
differences and financial risks.
Even time zones can be a stum-

a distributor of international
brands within Canada.
Mississauga-based Centura al-

“When you’re a small brand
owner, you need to be fairly nim-

cess, because your balance sheet
can’t take the body blows of a 10-
year build,” Mr. Robinson says.
Centura attends dozens of in-
dustry trade shows every year to
make the connections that lead to
partnerships with local retailers
and distributors in other markets.
Partners who understand the re-

distribution are critical, he says.
“It’s just a matter of having

That kind of life ring apparently can’t

come soon enough, with 83 per cent of the
1,500-plus Canadians surveyed saying they
haven’t achieved their financial objectives
because of hindrances such as high cost of
living, low income and insurmountable
debt.
While there may be comfort in knowing
that a cash gift is in their future – whether
it’s through a living inheritance or a will,
the financial planning industry agrees that
Canadians should be careful about incor-
porating that into a realistic, sound finan-
cial plan.
Strategic Insight, a Toronto-based re-
search firm, projects that roughly $1-tril-
lion in personal wealth will be transferred
from one generation to the next in Canada
between 2016 and 2026, with roughly 70
per cent of that in the form of financial as-
sets. The average inheritance in Canada,
according to a 2014 BMO survey, is just un-
der $100,000.
Carlo Palazzo, a financial planner at Ob-
jective Financial Partners Inc., a fee-only
firm in Toronto, says that he often has par-
ents inquiring about how to give money to
their grown children without compromis-
ing their own financial security. Less com-
mon are young adults asking about a relat-
ed plan.
“The parents typically ask about how to
structure the gift, when to give, how much
to give, and what to do with the money
once it’s given,” Mr. Palazzo says, adding
that the intention is often for that money
to be used for a down payment on a home.
“It’s mostly the parents coming forward
and doing the planning for the kids.”
Among those who will be receiving
money, a frequent question is whether it’s
best to pay down their existing mortgage
or shore up savings, he says.
Mr. Palazzo warns that young people
shouldn’t get too comfortable – or anxious
– with the notion that they have an immi-
nent cash infusion coming to them upon
their parents’ passing: He once had a pro-

rowth has an almost irresistible
allure for investors. Whether it’s a
rapidly growing economy, a star-
tup with a hot new product, or a
new industry that promises to be the “next
big thing,” investors are naturally drawn to
opportunities that seem to offer the great-
est long-term potential. Likewise, it is diffi-
cult for most investors to envision a stag-
nant economy or a dying industry as a
prime hunting ground for investment
ideas.
History tells a different story. Imagine
going back in time to the early 1970s. You’d
hear amazing things about the first com-
mercial microprocessor that had just been
developed. You’d also learn the U.S. had
banned most cigarette advertisements.
Back then, it might’ve seemed obvious to
invest in technology instead of tobacco.
That would have turned out to be com-
pletely wrong. Looking at Datastream sec-
tor indexes, tobacco shares have delivered
approximately 10 times the return of tech
shares since 1973. How is that possible? In-
vestors poured an ocean of capital into ex-
citing tech opportunities, which increased
competition and depressed returns. Con-
versely, regulatory burdens scared inves-
tors away from tobacco, but left scant com-
petition and handsome returns for the lim-
ited capital that remained.
This is also why the fastest-growing
economies don’t necessarily translate into
the best investments. Goldman Sachs
coined the acronym BRICs (Brazil, Russia,
India and China) in a 2001 report, sparking
a frenzy of interest in emerging market in-
vesting and a flood of BRIC-themed funds
ther missed or are afraid to touch. Russian
bank stocks were anything but the next big
thing in 2014, when the annexation of Cri-
mea and collapse in oil prices made the
country untouchable for many investors.
Yet the lack of capital ultimately produced
compelling opportunities in shares such as
Sberbank, the dominant local lender,
which were available at an excessive dis-
count to similar quality banks elsewhere in
the world.
A good example today is offshore drill-
ing. The boom in U.S. shale production has
clearly been the energy sector’s version of
the next big thing for some time. Capital
has flooded onshore at the expense of
more conventional offshore projects. As an
illustration, the dearth of capital has been
so extreme that one company, Borr Drilling
Ltd., which specializes in leasing rigs for
shallow-water drilling, was able to pur-
chase dozens of rigs for an average of about
60 per cent of replacement cost. Many of
these were brand new, and in almost all
cases, Borr was the only bidder. This type of
imbalance is extremely rare in crowded
capital markets and likely points to a highly
favourable opportunity in our view.
The shift in sentiment has been dramat-
ic. As recently as mid-2018, Borr shares
traded at 1.6 times book value, indicating
that the market believed the company
could achieve a return that at least
matched its cost of capital – a reasonable
assumption given that its book value re-
flected highly depressed rig values. Today,
Borr trades at less than half its book value.
At these levels, the market believes that
Borr’s top-of-the-line shallow-water drill-
years, supply and demand should gradual-
ly come back into balance through natural
attrition of older rigs in the coming years.
As the supply-demand balance improves,
Borr should be able to charge higher day
rates (currently depressed) to lease its rigs
and to have more of them in operation
(currently below 50 per cent).
While it is impossible to predict how the
energy capital expenditure cycle will
evolve, we can be fairly confident that off-
shore drilling will have a role to play in ful-
filling the world’s energy needs. Today, off-
shore production accounts for roughly a
quarter of global oil supply. Shale is indeed
growing quickly, but still represents be-
tween just 6 per cent and 9 per cent of
world supply, and oil sands represent less
than 5 per cent. The rest comes from con-
ventional onshore sources, including
members of the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries that are currently cut-
ting production. Even if shale continues to
grow rapidly, millions of new barrels will be
needed from other sources to offset natural
decline rates and demand growth, not-
withstanding the years-long transition to-
ward renewables. Shallow-water drilling,
which is economically competitive with
shale, is likely to remain part of the mix.
To us, the extreme pessimism about off-
shore drilling looks like classic capital cycle
behaviour, and a great opportunity for

Cycles of capital investing are far from the

the capital isn’t.

usually underperforms our U.S.

DON’T SPECULATE
If anyone starts talking about the
next hot stock, walk away. If you
get an e-mail touting a guaran-
teed money-winner, delete it.
When I was young, I had a bro-
ker who would call me each
month with the opening line:
“Have I got one for you!” He

BUY LOW-RISK STOCKS
A falling tide lowers all boats,
but some more than others.
Stable, dividend-paying busi-
nesses fare best in a crash.
That includes utilities, tele-
com companies, banks and real
estate trusts.
Remember, there will always
be stock market shocks, some-
times at unexpected times. But if
you invest with care and keep
calm, you’ll survive and prosper.

Corporate hedging activity
weak despite currency risks
Analysts say investors
should prepare for U.S.
companies to report
negative effects owing
to a lack of cushion
amid strong greenback
SAQIB IQBAL AHMED
JOSHUA FRANKLIN
M
uted gyrations in foreign
exchange markets have
turned companies com-
placent about hedging currency
risks, and as the third-quarter
earnings season gets under way,
investors should brace for U.S.
companies to report sizable neg-
ative effects owing to the stron-
ger U.S. dollar, analysts warned.
Wild currency moves can in-
ject volatility in earnings for
multinational firms.
Companies that either forgo
hedging, or don’t do enough of
it, have in the past been hit hard
because of unfavourable curren-
cy moves.
“If you look at the long sweep
of history, the level of concern
about FX right now still remains
low,” said Karl Schamotta, direc-
tor of global markets strategy at
Cambridge Global Payments in
Toronto.
“Corporates in particular are
still underappreciating the level
of risk that they face,” Mr. Scha-
motta said.
Earnings for S&P 500 compa-
nies are expected to have fallen
3.1 per cent in the third quarter
from a year ago, according to
IBES data from Refinitiv.
A recent rise in volatility in
currency markets from near five-
year lows has revived some in-
terest in guarding against curren-
cy risk, but firms’ hedging activ-
ity remains relatively weak,
analysts said.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Amid earnings season, investors
are eager to see how companies
on their watch list and in their
portfolios have performed dur-
ing the latest quarter. Today, we
will search for Canadian divi-
dend-paying companies with
growing returns on capital in-
vested and rising profits.
THE SCREEN
We screened the Canadian stock
universe by focusing on the fol-
lowing criteria:
Market capitalization greater
than $500-million;
Three-month and 12-month
growth in net operating profit
(NOP). This is a measure of oper-
ating efficiency that excludes op-
erating costs, focusing on the
company’s core operations;

Desjardins Securities analyst
Keith Howlett reversed course on
its stock on Monday, raising it to
“hold” after a 25-per-cent drop in
share price. He made the call de-
spite expressing concern about
the deteriorating state of the U.S.
printwear market.
Target: His target remains $40,
exceeding the consensus target
on the Street of $39.15.
| Q
A rallying dollar typically
hurts profits for U.S. multina-
tional companies, making their
foreign currency revenues worth
less in dollar terms.
At the end of the third quarter,
the dollar was up more than 6
per cent against the euro com-
pared with a year ago.
While there is no consolidated
data on hedging activity, anecdo-
tal evidence suggests corporate
hedging appetite is light at best,
analysts said.
Trade-related headlines and
the associated moves in the yuan
and the yen have spurred some
degree of rise in hedging activity
in Asian currencies, but for the
majors – the most heavily traded
currencies – there is little rush to
hedge, analysts said.
We’re definitely having more
discussions with clients
around the currency swings,
but so far they haven’t seen
any noticeable uptick in
hedging.

The Deutsche Bank FX Vola-

five-year low in early July, jump-
ed as high as 8.11 by mid-August
amid rising trade-related ten-
sions.
However, the index has
slipped since then and was at 6.8
on Friday, two points shy of its
five-year average.
Muted volatility in the curren-
cy market tends to cause compa-

MTY FOOD GROUP (MTY-TSX)
CLOSE $52.75, UP 74¢
Calling it a “free cash growth ma-
chine,” Raymond James analyst
Michael Glen initiated coverage
of MTY Food Group Inc. with an
“outperform” rating, despite ac-
knowledging its stock can be
“quite controversial at times” giv-
en a continuing debate among in-
vestors about both “the sustaina-
bility and ultimate benefits” of its
aggressive M&A strategy.
Target: Mr. Glen set a target of
$65 a share, which tops the con-
sensus of $63.43.
Traders agree. While the
pickup in currency moves in
August sparked some discus-
sions around FX risk manage-
ment, companies are not rushing
to pour money into hedges just
yet.
“We’re definitely having more
discussions with clients around
the currency swings, but so far
they haven’t seen any noticeable
uptick in hedging,” said Minh
Trang, senior FX trader at Silicon
Valley Bank.
Such reticence in hedging may
cost companies, history suggests.
For those North American
companies that quantify the ef-
fect on their results from curren-
cy fluctuations, the collective hit
in the second quarter was
US$21.01-billion, according to a
Kyriba report released on Thurs-
day.
That marked the third straight
quarter that the negative impact
on these companies has totalled
north of US$20-billion, the long-
est such streak in more than a
decade, according to Kyriba.
Whether companies ramp up
hedging activity depends on the
fate of continuing trade-related
negotiations between the world’s
largest economies, analysts said.
“So far, much of the trade war
rhetoric remains contained. If
that escalated outside of the vac-
uum, for example, it would be
more concerning and probably
create more market volatility,”
said Silicon Valley Bank’s Mr.
Trang.
Persistent volatility would in
turn spark a renewed interest
and urgency in guarding against
adverse currency moves.
“The higher that implied vola-
tility sits and for longer, the more
likely it is that the conversation
around hedging is going to rise at
the boardroom level,” Mr. Scha-
motta said.

Markets summary
CANADIAN STOCKS
Canada’s main stock index moved higher on election day
with an appreciation in the loonie to a new three-month high.
The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 41.33 points at
16,418.45.
Energy was the second-best sector, up nearly 1 per cent, as
shares of Crescent Point Energy Corp. rose 1.8 per cent. Energy
rose despite lower crude prices.
U.S. STOCKS
The benchmark S&P 500 stock index rose within striking dis-
tance of a record high as further signs of progress toward reso-
lution of the U.S.-China trade war boosted shares in sectors
sensitive to trade and the global economy.
U.S. President Donald Trump continued to strike optimis-
tic tones, while White House adviser Larry Kudlow said tariffs
on Chinese goods scheduled for December could be with-
drawn if talks go well.
Stocks have also benefited from the steepening U.S. Trea-
sury yield curve as well as better-than-expected corporate
earnings thus far, said Mona Mahajan, U.S. investment strate-
gist at Allianz Global Investors in New York. In Monday’s trad-
ing, the S&P 500 rose more than 3000 points to come within
0.7 per cent of its record closing high.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.21 per cent, the
S&P 500 gained 0.69 per cent and the Nasdaq Composite add-
ed 0.91 per cent.
Halliburton Co. shares gained 6.4 per cent after the oilfield
services provider detailed further planned cost reductions.
U.S.-listed shares of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries jump-
ed 8.7 per cent after the company announced progress toward
settling remaining opioid-related litigation.
COMMODITIES
Oil prices fell nearly 1 per cent after comments from a U.S. offi-
cial fed concerns surrounding the U.S.-China trade war, add-
ing to worries that a slowing global economy would reduce
demand for oil.
FOREX AND BONDS
The Canadian dollar climbed to a near three-month high
against its U.S. counterpart as investors became more opti-
mistic on global trade and millions of Canadians cast their
ballots in the country’s 43rd general election.
The U.S. dollar recovered earlier losses as Brexit negotia-
tions were once again thrown into disarray, and the Canadian
dollar strengthened in the hours before results of the election
for prime minister, which is expected to be close.
Canadian government bond prices were lower across the
yield curve in sympathy with U.S. Treasuries, with the 10-year
falling 15 cents to yield 1.561 per cent.
U.S. Treasury yields rose as investors sold haven debt on
optimism about a potential U.S.-China trade deal and a reso-
lution of some of the major issues related to Britain’s exit
from the European Union.

B 18 BASKETBALL
NBA’s West set to be a battle of superpowers
Even with Golden State
departures, there are
many great players and
potentially great teams
TIM REYNOLDS
S
tephen Curry knew roster
change was inevitable.
That being said, Curry and
the Golden State Warriors aren’t
changing their expectations.
The five-time defending West-
ern Conference champions aren’t
the popular pick to represent
their side of the league in this
season’s NBA Finals, understan-
dable after losing the likes of Ke-
vin Durant and Andre Iguodala.
But Curry said the Warriors will
strive to remain what they’ve
been over the past half-decade –
“a team that’s feared across the
league.”
“Look at every era of basket-
ball,” Curry said. “For a team to
sustain this type of level of play
and this greatness, it doesn’t
happen that often. And when
you need to retool, it may look
different, but the great teams,
great players figure it out as they
go.”
Thing is, there are so many
great players – and potentially
great teams – in the West this sea-
son. The Los Angeles Clippers are
the prohibitive favourite to win
the NBA title, at least according
to oddsmakers in Las Vegas, after
landing Kawhi Leonard and Paul
George. The Los Angeles Lakers
still have LeBron James and add-
ed Anthony Davis. Houston re-
united James Harden with Rus-
sell Westbrook. Denver and Utah
bring back strong cores. Portland
might have the league’s best
backcourt.
“You just can’t take it for
granted,” Oklahoma City general
manager Sam Presti said. “It’s re-
ally, really hard to win games in
the NBA, especially the Western
Conference, the way it is now.”
Maybe harder than ever.
“We want to maintain the cul-
ture that we’ve built, but we want
to make sure our players are put
in the best position to succeed,
and the last four years we pretty
much knew exactly what that
meant,” Warriors coach Steve
Kerr said. “We don’t really know
what it means this year. That’s
why we have a lot of work ahead,
but it’s exciting. I’m looking for-
ward to it.”
Houston coach Mike D’Antoni
said the West will be great for
fans and the league – not so
much for coaches, players and
owners.
“Somebody is probably going
to come in ninth and get fired
when they shouldn’t because
they did a great job,” D’Antoni
said. “But that’s the way it is.”
A look at the West, in predict-
ed order of regular-season finish:
PLAYOFF BOUND
1. Denver The team that few are
talking about, for puzzling rea-
Kelly: Being a charming outlier is one of Siakam’s talents
FROM B17
Coach Nick Nurse has gone from
Mr. I-Can’t-Believe-They-Gave-
Me-This-Job to a G-rated Bobby
Knight (Asked if he is happy with
the team’s new arrivals, Nurse
said, “Not really.”).
A title doesn’t just change
things. It changes people. Under
the code of all professional team
sports, everyone associated with
the Raptors organization has
jumped into the championship
gang. They’re different from the
rest now.
Which makes Pascal Siakam a
charming outlier – which is one of
his talents.
A lot of things have changed for
Siakam in the past few months.
You might argue more so for him
than just about anyone in the hu-
man race, rather than just the
NBA.
On Monday, he signed a four-
year contract that makes him pre-
posterously rich. The minimum
he will receive from the deal,
which kicks in after this season, is
US$130-million. Essentially, the
money that was meant for Kawhi
Leonard goes in Siakam’s pocket
instead.
Siakam, 25, only began playing
basketball eight years ago. He’s
from Cameroon – not exactly the
Bronx of Africa, basketball-wise.
When Toronto drafted him
with the 27th pick three years ago,
it was considered a flier. For a year
or so after that, it was looking like
a worthwhile risk that, sadly,
wouldn’t work out.
But Siakam plugged away at
L.A.’s Kawhi Leonard, seen being fouled by the Dallas Mavericks’ Maxi Kleber during a preseason game in Germany on Thursday, is one of the major
pieces, along with Paul George, that has oddsmakers betting on a Clippers championship. DARRYL DYCK/THE CANADIAN PRESS
sons. They’re young, they already
know how to win and the Nug-
gets’ win total has risen in each of
coach Michael Malone’s first four
seasons there. No reason to think
that won’t continue.
2. Houston James Harden is en-
tering his 11th season. Russell
Westbrook is entering his 12th.
D’Antoni is entering the last year
of his contract. It sure seems like
title-or-bust time in Houston,
and the wide-open West could be
for their taking.
3. L.A. Clippers When Paul
George gets back from his recov-
ery from shoulder surgeries to
join Kawhi Leonard on the new-
look Clippers, this is going to be a
team with frightening potential
on defence. They’ll peak toward
the end, and could win it all.
4. L.A. Lakers This is absolutely
not to say they’re the fourth-best
team in the West. James knows
it’s all about April, May and June,
and he certainly isn’t going to
care where the Lakers are seeded
as long as they’re in the playoffs.
5. Utah Donovan Mitchell is just
starting to come into his own,
Rudy Gobert is still the defensive
player of the year and Joe Ingles
is better than people realize. The
addition of Bojan Bogdanovic
was big, as was adding Mike Con-
ley – if healthy.
6. Golden State The five-time de-
fending West champs lost Du-
rant, Iguodala and Shaun Living-
ston – plus won’t have Klay
Thompson for most of the sea-
son. But the Warriors still have
Curry. Relax. They’ll be fine.
The Toronto Raptors’ Pascal Siakam puts up a shot against the Nets at
Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Friday. NICOLE SWEET/USA TODAY SPORTS
his craft. Last year, he made him-
self a regular. Then he made him-
self a starter. Then he made him-
self a star, and by April, he was
chipping away at the first few
lines of his obituary.
If there are sudden rises in
sports, Siakam’s was more like a
missile launch. It’s only just bro-
ken the atmosphere.
But Siakam appears outwardly
unaffected. Same goofy grin,
same tendency to ramble, same
desire to be entertaining.
He came into his triumphal
presser dressed head-to-toe in
gear emblazoned with his person-
al logo, which is meant to be a
heart formed out of his initials. It
looks more like an aortic dissec-
7. Portland This is way too low,
but that’s life in the West right
now. Damian Lillard and CJ
McCollum are elite, Terry Stotts is
underrated and don’t be sur-
prised if the Blazers tweak the
roster after Jusuf Nurkic returns
to take a title shot.
8. San Antonio LaMarcus Al-
dridge and DeMar DeRozan lead
a team that features a young core
of Lonnie Walker IV, Dejounte
Murray and Derrick White. Oh,
and Gregg Popovich is still there.
Count the Spurs out at your own
risk.
IN THE MIX
9. Dallas Dirk Nowitzki is gone,
but the new star-duo pairing of
Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porz-
ingis has enormous potential.
The Mavs haven’t won a playoff
series since the 2011 NBA Finals,
but this season will see them get
closer.
10. Minnesota Ryan Saunders’s
first full season will lead to im-
provement, but even a five-game
leap to .500 won’t get it done as
far as a West playoff berth this
season. But if Karl-Anthony
Towns plays 82 games at his po-
tential, who knows?
11. Sacramento Rick Adelman
took the Kings to their most re-
cent playoff appearance in 2006.
Luke Walton is the team’s 10th
different coach since; he has Har-
rison Barnes, De’Aaron Fox, Mar-
vin Bagley and Buddy Hield, yet
still faces a tall task.
12. New Orleans Zion William-
tion, but now he has the cash to
hire a top-drawer graphic design-
er.
On Monday, he talked touchin-
gly about his father, who died in a
car crash five years ago. He said
he’d spent the drive in that day
imagining a conversation with
him about everything that’s hap-
pening in his life.
“Obviously, he would be proud
of me,” Siakam said. “I just wish
he could say that to me.”
You don’t get many honestly
affecting ‘aw, geez’ moments in
sports any more, but that was one
of them.
He had a great deal of trouble
summing up where his head’s at,
which seems very healthy. Where
Q TH E G LO B E AND M AIL
son’s knee is already a concern,
not a good sign for the No. 1 over-
all pick. Lonzo Ball’s shot is bet-
ter and J.J. Redick has never mis-
sed a postseason. But if William-
son isn’t full-go, it may be tough
sledding for New Orleans.
FACING LONG ODDS
13. Oklahoma City There is a lot
of talent on this team: Chris Paul,
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo
Gallinari, Steven Adams. If all
goes right, the Thunder will con-
tend for a spot. Or will they make
more trades and collect more
picks?
14. Phoenix Devin Booker is en-
tering his prime. But the Suns
have averaged 22 wins over the
past four seasons, are on their
fourth coach – Monty Williams –
in a span of 24 months and still
seem overmatched in the loaded
West.
15. Memphis The Grizzlies’ first-
round pick in 2020 is top-six pro-
tected or else it conveys to Bos-
ton. The Celtics might not want
to plan on getting this one. This
year’s goal for the Grizzlies? Sim-
ple: Get Ja Morant settled into his
new job.
WHAT TO KNOW
Three-Team Ring Circus
Leonard has a chance to win a
ring with a third different team if
the Clippers win the title. James
and Danny Green would do the
same if the Lakers win it all. The
only players to win a champion-
would your head be at if you’d just
secured the financial future of the
next three generations of your
family?
And after all those good vibes,
here comes the hard part. This
franchise’s future is now roped at
the waist to Siakam’s develop-
ment.
Giving him the money now,
rather than waiting until the deci-
sion had to be made next sum-
mer, means the Raptors will not
be in the big-time free-agent mar-
ket until after the 2020-21 season.
That’s two years of new status quo
– that the Raptors will get only as
far as Siakam takes them.
It puts you a little in mind of
the euphoria that greeted DeMar
DeRozan’s 2016 decision to forgo
all free-agent meetings and take
Toronto’s offer. That heady ad-
venture also lasted two years. It
didn’t go so well.
Siakam isn’t DeRozan. He is a
more impactful player. His inside-
outside style better suits the mod-
ern game. He has more talent
around him than DeRozan had.
Most importantly, he appears bet-
ter equipped to handle the pres-
sure of being a franchise’s QB1.
The negatives are more philo-
sophical – the idea of what a su-
perstar looks like in Toronto has
never been more unforgiving.
For a long time, all a basketball
player in this town had to do was
be like Vince Carter – win a slam
competition, look fun on high-
light reels, say something about
loving Canada. Nobody actually
expected you to win, because, you
know, come on. It’s the Raptors.
| TU ESDAY, OC TOB ER 22, 2019
ship with three different fran-
chises: John Salley and Robert
Horry.
Spurs Streak San Antonio is
bidding for a 23rd consecutive
playoff appearance, which would
give the Spurs outright posses-
sion of the NBA record. They’re
currently tied with Philadelphia
with 22 straight playoff trips (the
76ers’ franchise did it from 1950
through 1971, that span starting
when they were the Syracuse Na-
tionals).
Wide Open The league’s gen-
eral managers have wildly differ-
ent views on which team will win
the West. In NBA.com’s annual
preseason polling of GMs, six dif-
ferent West teams – the Clippers,
the Lakers, Golden State, Hous-
ton, Denver and Portland – got at
least one vote as the conference’s
best.
LeBron Milestone James has
993 games of 20 or more points,
third-most in NBA history. When
he gets to 1,000 of those, he’ll be
the last to hit that milestone for
many years. Durant may be the
next; he’s got 720.
Good Sign With James Har-
den and Russell Westbrook,
Houston becomes the sixth team
to have two players who each
won an MVP in the past three
seasons. Of the other five, four –
the 1959 and 1960 Boston Celtics,
the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers and
the 2017 Golden State Warriors –
won an NBA title. The other was
the 1984 76ers.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Siakam is expected to win.
Maybe not this year. But certainly
by next year. And absolutely,
most definitely by the year after
that.
Also, “winning” no longer
means showing well or avoiding a
humiliating loss. It means actual-
ly winning something.
That’s the one downside of
championships. Having got hold
of one, people expect more of
them.
Figuring out how to get anoth-
er is no longer Lowry’s problem,
or Nurse’s problem, or Masai Uji-
ri’s problem. It’s Siakam’s prob-
lem. Because if he ever tries the
old “you can’t do this on your
own” line, someone will spit back,
“Kawhi did.”
Siakam gets all the money, so
he gets all the responsibility, too.
Which is why his performance
on Monday offered hope. He
didn’t seem puffed up by his
change in fortune (often a symp-
tom of early onset apathy). He
was very much as he has always
been. He told a story about Van-
Vleet coming to him to ask about
a TV commercial they’d agreed to
co-star in.
“You sure you still want to do
it?” VanVleet said, according to
Siakam.
“I’m still on a rookie contract,”
Siakam said. “I need the money.”
That one brought down the
house. Siakam was bent over
from laughing.
If he’s still able to laugh that
way in two years’ time, the Rap-
tors’ money will have been well
spent.
TU E S DAY , OCTOBE R 22, 2019
NBA East could belong to Bucks or 76ers
With Leonard back in
the Western Conference,
both teams think this
may be their time
BRIAN MAHONEY
G
iannis Antetokounmpo
and the Milwaukee Bucks
were a couple wins from
beating Toronto. The Philadel-
phia 76ers were maybe a couple
bounces from doing it a round
earlier.
Neither team was good enough
to finish the job last season, but
both think this is their time after
Kawhi Leonard went back to the
Western Conference.
That left the NBA champions
weakened and the Bucks and
76ers looking like the favourites
to represent the East in the NBA
Finals – where perhaps they’d
have to deal with Leonard again.
The Bucks appeared headed
there in 2018-19, right up until
midway through the East finals.
Milwaukee had the league’s best
record at 60-22, with Anteto-
kounmpo eventually winning
MVP and Mike Budenholzer the
Coach of the Year.
But the Bucks couldn’t get an-
other victory after taking a 2-0
lead over the Raptors, who won
the next four games to reach the
finals.
The Bucks think they ad-
dressed some of their weaknesses
and are ready to take another run
at it.
“I think everybody on this
team wants to show that last year
wasn’t just, you know, a year by
accident that we just won 60
games,” Antetokounmpo said. “I
think we had a great team. We got
better but obviously there’s going
to be a lot of teams that expect us.
They know us now and they’re
going to play hard.”
It took Leonard’s shot that
bounced on the rim four times
before falling in at the buzzer in
Game 7 to knock out Philadelphia
in the second round.
The 76ers come back with Al
Horford and Josh Richardson but
without Jimmy Butler or JJ Red-
ick, hoping they’ve given coach
Brett Brown the right mix around
all-stars Joel Embiid and Ben Sim-
mons.
“We know what the expecta-
tions are and we embrace it. It’s
not just Brett, it’s all of us,” gener-
al manager Elton Brand said.
“We’re in that position now
where just getting to the first
round, getting to the second
round, those expectations are
gone.
Anunoby: His time spent sitting out taught him ‘resiliency’
FROM B17
By the time Anunoby rejoined
the team for a real practice, they
were preparing for Game 2 of the
NBA Finals against the reigning
champion Golden State Warriors.
It would have been a tall order
to reintroduce Anunoby to game
action during the most intense
series of the NBA season, al-
though his hustle defence could
have been helpful if he could be
at his best. The Raptors activated
him, but ultimately did not use
him in the Finals.
Tuesday’s much-anticipated
Raptors season opener will be
his first NBA game in more than
six months. Anunoby will still
collect a championship ring in
the much-anticipated ceremony
before Toronto plays the New Or-
leans Pelicans. Then he will start
doing his part to help the Rap-
tors defend that title. Because of
the free-agent departures of
starters Kawhi Leonard and Dan-
ny Green, the team should have
key minutes for him.
“He’s making plays and strip-
ping the ball and he looks good,”
Raptors coach Nick Nurse said of
Anunoby’s form in preseason. “I
think he really fits now with this
team.”
Nurse said he anticipates us-
ing the 22-year-old as a primary
defender. In addition to guarding
small forwards and power for-
wards, as he would naturally at
the small-forward position, they
may also employ him to guard
point guards or chase shooting
guards from screens.
“He’s got a desire to go out
and guard people, and he’s got
the physical tools to do it, too,”
Nurse said. “We need that, as a
kind of replacement, and that’s
good.”
The Raptors selected Anunoby
23rd over all out of Indiana Uni-
versity in the 2017 NBA draft.
They used him largely as a start-
er in his rookie year, impressed
especially by his defensive inten-

“We’re expected to win big and
we embrace it.”
Leonard went to the Los An-
geles Clippers but the Raptors
still have Marc Gasol and Pascal
Siakam in their frontcourt that fi-
nally slowed down Anteto-
kounmpo. He knows there will be
many more teams gearing up to
do the same starting next week.
“We’ve just got to be ready,” he
said. “They’re not going to give us
nothing. We’ve got to go out there
and take everything that we want
and we’ve got to earn everything
that we’ve got to earn this year.”
A look at the East, in predicted
order of finish:
PLAYOFF BOUND
1. Milwaukee By bringing in Kyle
Korver and Wes Matthews, the
Bucks have surrounded Anteto-
kounmpo with even more shoot-
ing to space the floor.
2. Philadelphia Having Horford
in Philadelphia removes one pos-
sible defender against Embiid.
3. Toronto Gasol, Siakam and

posing frontcourt even without
OG Anunoby, seen playing against the Nets in Brooklyn on Friday, appeared in 67 of the Raptors’ 82
regular-season games last season. NICOLE SWEET/USA TODAY SPORTS
sity. But last season was disjoint-
ed for Anunoby. He missed some
time because of other smaller in-
juries, and took some personal
time away after the death of his
father. He appeared in 67 of the
Raptors’ 82 regular-season games
– starting in just six – largely dis-
placed by the arrival of the su-
perstar Leonard.
Then he found himself facing
an emergency appendectomy on
April 12, the day before the Rap-
tors playoffs began.
He had been experiencing
headaches and stomach pain,
but didn’t think much of it at
first. The pain soon intensified,
and he couldn’t sleep. He con-
sulted team medical staff, they
did a quick test and sent him
right to an emergency room.
His appendix ruptured before
Leonard.
4. Boston With Kemba Walker
now in Kyrie Irving’s former spot,
the Celtics should have better
chemistry even with a little less
talent.
5. Brooklyn No Kevin Durant yet,
but enough pieces around new-
comer Irving to reach the post-
season again.
6. Orlando Magic hope to pick up
where they left off after a strong
finish in 2018-19.
7. Indiana Will get Victor Oladipo
back at some point, but losing Bo-
jan Bogdanovic will hurt.
8. Miami Couldn’t make a final
playoff appearance in Dwyane
Wade’s last season in South Flor-
ida but could in Jimmy Butler’s
first.
IN THE MIX
9. Detroit Need to come up with
enough shooting from the back-
court to complement Andre
Drummond and Blake Griffin in
the frontcourt.
10. Atlanta Hawks putting to-
gether good young core around
one old player: 42-year-old Vince
the surgery. Then an infection
complicated the aftermath of the
procedure.
He watched the first two
games of the Raptors’ opening-
round playoff series against the
Orlando Magic from his hospital
bed. His team lost the first game
and then bounced back to win
the second.
“The first game, I was really
sick,” Anunoby said. “The second
game, I was almost out [of the
hospital], so I was feeling a lot
better, I was energized and we
won.”
Still, the pain lingered for a
few weeks after the procedure.
He said he lost about 15 pounds,
along with much of his strength.
He reflected on the experience
during an interview with report-
ers this past Sunday. He was seat-
BASKETBALL
Carter.
11. New York Couldn’t get any of
the top free agents but signed
enough veterans to improve last
season’s NBA-worst team.
FACING LONG ODDS
12. Chicago Bulls think they can
make a leap but there’s a long way
to go after losing 60 games last
season.
13. Washington Bradley Beal
should put up big numbers – un-
less the Wizards trade him – but
they won’t often lead to wins.
14. Charlotte Walker is gone and
there’s not much talent left be-
hind in Charlotte.
WHAT TO KNOW
Jumping Off Point The decid-
ing factor in the East could be
how much either Antetokounm-
po or Simmons improves from
the perimeter.
Both have relied on their abil-
ity to get to the basket to over-
come a weak jump shot, but both
worked on their stroke over the
summer and hit from three-point
ed at the podium in the Raptors
practice facility, something the
soft-spoken player known for his
polite but very short answers
rarely did during his first two
seasons in Toronto.
Elaborating a little more than
he used to in past seasons, Anu-
noby described what it was like
to travel with the team in the
playoffs once his health began to
improve. He was straddling two
worlds – that of a focused playoff
team and that of a player fight-
ing to regain his strength and fit-
ness.
“Yeah, I was in film during the
morning, they’ll be going
through walkthrough of the
Bucks stuff and Sixers stuff,”
Anunoby said. “And I’ll be on the
side, doing agilities and stretches
for my stomach.”

Record-Setting Season Car-
ter re-signed with Atlanta last
month and will become the first
player in NBA history to play 22

Back to Boston Irving origi-
nally said he planned to remain
in Boston, but changed his mind
and signed with Brooklyn after
the Celtics’ disappointing season.
His first trip back is scheduled for
Nov. 27 for a nationally televised
game on the night before Thanks-

Make More Magic Orlando
engineered a 17-win improve-
ment last season, tops in the NBA,
to finish 42-40 and reach the play-
offs for the first time since 2012.
The Magic, who went 22-9 down
the stretch, brought back 12 of the
17 players who appeared in a
game for them in 2018-19.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
He tried to remain engaged
with the team, even when his re-
turn was well in the distance.
What was the biggest thing he
learned during that time?
“Just resiliency, being resil-
ient,” he said. “Not getting too
down. That’s the main thing.”
While no one knows for sure
who Nurse will have in his regu-
lar starting five, Anunoby has a
good shot to be one of them. His
teammates are eager to have him
back. They have all raved about
his productive off-season.
“You hate to see a guy away
from the game. He had a rough
year last year,” Fred VanVleet
said. “I’m just happy to have him
back doing what we all love to
do. I’m excited for him to get
back out there. He was with us
during the end of the year but
didn’t play in the playoffs, and
you can kind of feel like you’re
apart from the group when
you’re not in the action. So get-
ting him back in the action and
being right there where he left
off, I think will be good for him.”
Serge Ibaka provided some
veteran support to Anunoby as
he worked himself back into
shape in the summer.
“Most times, what happened
to him last year, if it was most
people, they would give up or get
a little distracted. He didn’t give
up,” Ibaka said. “Now he has to
focus on getting back and getting
better, and he did all summer,
working on his body, working on
his game. I feel like he’s ready for
this year. He’s going to have a
great season.”
Nurse described Anunoby as
refreshed both physically and
mentally.
“I see him playing with a little
bit more of a smile on his face.
There’s a little more joy in how
he’s moving around out there,
and that’s refreshing to see,”
Nurse said.
“Physically, he’s awesome.
He’s slim and trim and strong
and he’s active.”

Blue Jackets beat Leafs on OT penalty shot
Toronto led well into
the third, but Columbus
tied it with about
10 minutes left to play
JOSHUA CLIPPERTON TORONTO
Gustav Nyquist scored on a pen-
alty shot in overtime as the Co-
lumbus Blue Jackets defeated the
Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 on Mon-
day.
Riley Nash, Pierre-Luc Dubois
and Alexander Wennberg scored
in regulation for Columbus (4-
3-2). Nick Foligno chipped in with
two assists for the Blue Jackets,
who got 28 stops from Joonas
Korpisalo.
Auston Matthews, with a goal
and an assist, William Nylander
and Kasperi Kapanen also scored
for Toronto (5-3-2), while An-
dreas Johnsson and Jake Muzzin
added two assists each. Frederik
Andersen made 34 saves.
Andersen stopped Dubois on a
breakaway seconds into over-
time. He then robbed Wennberg,
before Nyquist was awarded a
penalty shot.
Playing their second game
since captain John Tavares suf-
fered a broken finger that will
keep him out until at least early
November, the Leafs were far
from their best with a number of
sloppy sequences at both ends of
the rink, but led 3-2 after 40 min-
utes.
Columbus tied it up, however,
on a power play at 10:09 of the
third when Wennberg scored his
second after Leafs defenceman
Morgan Rielly blocked Zach We-
renski’s initial shot.
Andersen, who recovered
nicely after allowing goals on the
the visitors’ first two shots of the
game, stopped Cam Atkinson on
a breakaway with under four
minutes left in regulation to force
overtime.
Nylander put the Leafs ahead
3-2 with 14.5 seconds left in the
middle period when Matthews
grabbed a loose puck in the slot
and saw his initial shot stopped
by Korpisalo. Johnsson heeled
the rebound and it found Nyan-
der, who buried his third goal of
the season to snap a four-game
point drought.
Despite his early blemishes,
Andersen was the story for To-
ronto most of the period.
Ex-Flame Neal has hot start with Oilers
JUDY OWEN WINNIPEG
J
ames Neal didn’t feel like him-
self last season and knew he
had to do something about it.
The new Edmonton Oilers for-
ward dialled up his off-season
training in the gym and on the ice
so he’d be ready for a fresh start
after a disappointing season with
the Calgary Flames sparked a
trade between the Alberta rivals
in July.
Neal said he “put a ton of work
in” with skating coach Shawn Al-
lard and former NHLer Gary
Roberts, who now focuses on
physical training. He added he
was on the ice with Allard at 6:30
a.m., four times a week starting in
July.
“I wanted to get back to being
myself,” Neal said before Edmon-
ton’s 1-0 shootout loss to the Win-
nipeg Jets on Sunday.
“I wanted to skate like I know I
could skate. I wanted to be able to
shoot the puck like I know I could
shoot the puck. Just all the things
that I felt like I lost throughout
the year in Calgary that I wanted
to get back.”
The extra work has paid divi-
dends for the 32-year-old native
of Whitby, Ont., and the Oilers.
After putting up only seven
goals and 12 assists in 63 games
with the Flames – far off his run of
20-plus goals in 10 straight NHL
seasons – Neal has already sur-
passed that lowly goal output.
He’s tied with Boston’s David
Pastrnak for most goals in the
league with nine and has 10
points in nine games.
Neal set an Edmonton fran-
chise record for most goals (sev-
en) through the first four games
of the season, breaking a mark
held by Glenn Anderson and
Wayne Gretzky.
He also scored a career-high
four goals in a 5-2 win Oct. 8 over
the New York Islanders.
Neal’s hot start has helped the
Oilers get off to a 7-1-1 start, good
for first in the Pacific Division. It’s
a welcome change for a team that
has missed the playoffs 12 of the
past 13 seasons.
“It feels good. It pays off,” Neal
said of his extra training. “A lot of
The Leafs netminder stopped
Ryan Murray from the slot early
in the second and then stacked
the pads to deny Dubois later on
after a Muzzin turnover before
Nylander pushed his team ahead.
Andersen made 43 saves in
Saturday’s thrilling 4-3 overtime
victory against the Bruins at Sco-
tiabank Arena, but No. 2 goalie
Michael Hutchinson is expected
to get the start in the second half
of a back-to-back – and Toronto’s
third game in four nights – in the
rematch Tuesday at Boston’s TD
Garden.

overtime losses to the Chicago

on Sunday, has surpassed the seven goals he scored last year while
playing with the Flames. TERRENCE LEE/USA TODAY SPORTS
it is mental, too.
“You want to get your confi-
dence back. You want to get your
swagger back. You want to get
that good feeling back that you
know you could be one of the
best players.
“I knew I had a fresh start so
the relief was there that I had a
fresh start so all I had to do was do
my side and put my work in and
I’d have a good chance of having
success here in Edmonton and it’s
worked out good.”
The Flames signed Neal as a
free agent in July, 2018, giving him
a five-year, US$28.75-million con-
tract with an annual average sala-
ry of US$5.75-million.
He’d come off back-to-back
seasons of playing in the Stanley
Cup final, with Vegas in 2018 and
Nashville in 2017.
Both those long playoff runs
didn’t allow him a lot of time to
recover and train in the summer,
he noted.
“I think you don’t understand
what goes into going to the finals
and how bad your body’s beat up
and what you’re left with.”
Still, he was committed to con-
tributing to the Flames and can’t
put his finger on exactly what
went wrong.
“They were paying me a lot of
money to come in and score goals
and be a big part of that team,”
Neal said. “I came in and played
in a third- and fourth-line role.
“For whatever reason, things

just didn’t work out so it’s not
really one thing or another. You
can blame it on whomever you
want or say whatever you want,
but for me I could have been bet-
ter. I think it just could have been
different.”
After his trade to Edmonton for
Milan Lucic, Neal had lunch in To-
ronto with new Oilers head coach
Dave Tippett, who had been his
coach when his NHL career start-
ed in 2008-09 with the Dallas
Stars.
“He was excited,” Tippett re-
called of the meeting. “He was
looking forward to the change
and excited to come to a team
where he was going to get more
opportunity than he got last year
and excited to see what he could
do.
“And, obviously, he’s jumped
in and he’s played very well for
us.”
Linemate Ryan Nugent-Hop-
kins said Neal’s bounceback has
been impressive.
“He’s really battled around the
net to get good opportunities to
put pucks in,” he said. “He also is
a guy who creates loose pucks
and he’s easy to work with.
“It’s always good to see a guy
like that, when you hear all the
talk about the season last year
and what not, come back and al-
ready have this good of a start. It’s
definitely cool to see.”

His clubs have now been put away – finally.
The Florida Panthers had Boyle on the ice for prac-
tice for the first time Monday, one day after the veter-
an and well-travelled centre signed a US$940,000, one-year
deal with the club. The plan is for the 6-foot-6 Boyle to make
his debut with the Panthers on Tuesday when they play host
to Pittsburgh.
Boyle wasn’t in training camp with any clubs while waiting
for some team to make him an offer. He talked with plenty of
teams, and Florida got the deal done on Sunday.
“It obviously didn’t go as I expected,” Boyle said. “In an ide-
al world, I wanted to be in camp, signed up, family taken care
of, kids in school, but it doesn’t work out the way you think
it’s supposed to or the way it should. It was a bit of a curve-
ball.”
In the end, it worked out to his liking. And if anyone knows
how to deal with a curveball, it’s Boyle.

Boyle said. “This checks so many

boxes. Ultimately, I’ve been plenty in recent

I’ve played in playoff games. I re-
ally just want to win. That’s really all that’s left to do.”
Boyle did his best to simulate training camp conditions on
his own, working with a trainer in Massachusetts for the past
few weeks so he’d be ready quickly when the phone call final-
ly came. The first impression on the Panthers turned out to be
a good one.
“I was a little bit concerned going into it,” Panthers coach
Joel Quenneville said, breaking into a smile. “But I was
pleased afterward.”
Boyle has appeared in 114 playoff games and reached the
Stanley Cup final twice. He’s been in 766 regular-season
games with 124 goals and 92 assists, and his 52.3-per-ent face-
off win rate last season was his highest for a full year since
2013-14.
“Experience, character, size, centre, faceoffs, we can use
him in a lot of different situations,” Quenneville said. “You
look at our lineup and you can never have enough guys who
can play in the middle. … He’s played a lot of playoff games,
meaningful games, big games, something that we want to get
to. He wants to be here and I think it’s a good fit in a lot of
ways.”

Altuve scuffling going

STEPHEN HAWKINS HOUSTON

T
ake out pennant-clinching home run hitter Jose Al-
tuve, and the Houston Astros’ bats are really scuf-
fling this postseason.
After leading the majors with a .274 team batting
average during the regular season, the Astros hit only .208
in their two American League playoffs series while making
it to their second World Series in three seasons. That drops
nearly 20 points without the AL Championship Series MVP.
“The playoffs aren’t about statistics. It’s about moments,”
George Springer, the 2017 World Series MVP, said Monday.
“It takes only at-bat a day to help your team. One at-bat a
day can impact a game.”
Springer hit five home runs in that 2017 World Series
after going 3 for 26 (.115) in the seven-game AL Champion-
ship Series, when he had three singles and didn’t drive in a
run.

between his Houston Astros and
the Washington Nationals, this is
when reputations are built – or
wrecked.
Madison Bumgarner, Orel Her-
shiser and Pedro Martinez ex-
celled in their first Series starts. So
did Clayton Kershaw, although his
ledger is more checkered.
Cole enters this matchup
against fellow ace Max Scherzer at
19-0 in his past 25 starts, including
three wins in the playoffs. No
pitcher has ever won 20 in a row in
a single season.
“And Cole’s had a terrific year.
So obviously it’s going to [be] one
heck of a challenge.”
Cole led the majors in strike-
outs, topped the AL in ERA and
finished second in the big leagues
to teammate Justin Verlander in
wins.
“When you dream as a little kid,
you dream about storybook end-
ings and storybook players and
scenarios like that,” Cole said.
In the old days of baseball –
like, three or four years ago – this
is about the time someone would
step up and say, well, he’s due for a
loss.
Got to be, right?
NLCS MVP Howie Kendrick
chuckled at that notion.
“I faced him in the past, but
what he’s been doing the past few
years has been phenomenal since
he came over to the Astros. It’s like
he’s found his stride,” said Ken-
drick, who will be Washington’s
designated hitter in Game 1.
“I’ve been watching him
throughout the postseason. His
stuff’s electric, everybody knows
that,” he said.
Fusing his talent with the As-
tros’ fortified analytics approach,
Cole has found what works best
for him. Among the results with
his four-seamer, curve and slider:
Nearly 17 per cent of his pitches re-
amount of success that he’s had,”
Rendon said. “Not that he didn’t
have success in Pittsburgh prior.”
“But I think by him coming to a
postseason team, being around
guys or a team that has been in the
postseason more times than not, I
think that’s really going to elevate
your game and I think that’s true
for him,” he said.
Talking about the Washington
lineup, Cole was equally effusive
in his praise for Rendon.
“It starts with Anthony Rendon
being the tone-setter, a really spe-
cial talent, probably a generation-
al talent. We’ll have to see how it
all plays out,” Cole said.
“But if it goes as expected, he’ll
probably end up in the Hall of
Fame. He’s so cool and calm and
collected. And I think a lot of his
players feed off that,” he said.
Same way the Astros feel when
Cole takes the mound.
Asked recently whether he’d
ever seen someone on this kind of
run, Verlander answered, “Never.”
All this for Cole, along with the
prospect of earning well more
than a US$200-million contract in
free agency after the World Series
ends. Yet if any of this is going to
his head, by the way, it hasn’t been
apparent.

the New York Yankees, is hitting .349 (14 of 43) with eight
RBIs and 10 runs scored.
Alex Bregman is about 40 points below his regular-sea-
son average at .257 (10 of 35). But he’s got 10 walks and his
.435 on-base percentage is actually slightly higher than his
mark before the playoffs.
STREAKING INTO SERIES
The Washington Nationals are the fourth team to enter the
World Series with a winning streak of at least six games in
that postseason. They will try to become the first to then
win the championship.
The 2014 Kansas City Royals had won eight in a row that
postseason, winning the AL wild-card game before sweep-
ing through the AL Division Series and ALCS. Their winning
streak ended with a loss in Game 1 to San Francisco, which
went on to take the series in seven games.
Colorado swept the NL Division Series and NL Cham-
pionship Series in 2007, but the Rockies were then swept by
Boston in the World Series.
PRESSLY CONFIDENT IN ABILITY TO PITCH
Astros reliever Ryan Pressly says he expects to be able to
pitch in the World Series.
Pressly threw only one pitch in the clinching Game 6 of
the ALCS on Saturday night, getting Didi Gregorius of the
Yankees on a soft grounder. But the reliever had to leave the
game after aggravating his surgically repaired right knee –
he had the procedure in August and missed time.
“Not going into too much detail about my knee,” Pressly
said before a workout. “I think we’ll be fine.”
Manager AJ Hinch said the Astros would announce their
roster prior to Game 1 on Tuesday night.

FEDERER WINS EASILY AT BASEL IN 1,500TH TOUR SINGLES MATCH

W
inning his first ATP Tour title was
a significant career milestone.
Canada’s Denis Shapovalov also
drew confidence from the way he did it.
The 20-year-old from Richmond Hill,
Ont., says he wasn’t tense or afraid to lose
when he stepped on court for his first tour
final Sunday at the Stockholm Open.
The exhilaration of reaching new tennis
territory – and finally slaying the semi-fi-
nal dragon after going 0-7 – shone through
in a straight-sets 6-4, 6-4 win over Serbia’s
Filip Krajinovic.
“I hadn’t really gotten past the point of
the semi-finals so I wasn’t sure how I was
going to feel being in the finals for the first
time in a while and the first time in an ATP
final,” Shapovalov said Monday during a
Tennis Canada conference call.
“Not nervous at all to be honest. I was
really happy to go out there and show ev-
erybody my game and have a chance to
kind of celebrate and play in something as
special as an ATP final. It was great that I
approached it in a really excited way.
“I think it’s a really big confidence-
booster for me for the future knowing that
first of all I have a title under my belt and I
can play more relaxed, but also I really get
up for these matches and I get really excit-
ed.”
Shapovalov’s victory was the first by a
Canadian man since Milos Raonic of
Thornhill, Ont., won in Brisbane, Austra-
lia, in January, 2016. Shapovalov ascended
seven rungs in Monday’s world rankings
to No. 27, which is his highest position
since July 7.
The Canadian joins Montreal’s Félix Au-
ger-Aliassime (18) and Raonic (32) in the

quad strain Monday and spent some time working out apart from his team. COLE BURSTON/THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEIL DAVIDSON TORONTO
T
oronto FC training was all
over the place Monday.
Striker Jozy Altidore,
nursing a quad strain, worked out
on his own on a field away from
the main squad during the por-
tion of practice open to the
media. Centre back Chris Mavin-
ga, who exited Saturday’s 5-1 ex-
tra-time win over D.C. United in
the 107th minute due to an ankle
issue, and Brazilian fullback Auro
left practice early. Midfielder Mar-
ky Delgado was said to be work-
ing indoors.
All that’s missing is glue and
some string as coach Greg Vanney
tries to piece together his roster
for Wednesday’s MLS Eastern
Conference semi-final against
host New York City FC. NYCFC,
which finished the regular season
14 points ahead of Toronto, has
been off since the regular-season
finale Oct. 6 by virtue of finishing
first in the East.
Altidore remains “day-to-day.”
“He’s got to, again, continue to
accomplish some things,” Vanney
said. “Today we got him up to a
higher speed than we have before
and we’ll see where this goes.”
That could mean another
game up front for Spanish play-
maker Alejandro Pozuelo, who
scored three of his 12 goals this
season against NYCFC.
The good news was that centre
back Omar Gonzalez, who like Al-
tidore sat out the D.C. United
game, was on the training field in
his return from a hamstring issue.
Gonzalez did some fitness
work with the main group Mon-
day. “We’ll see how he progresses
the next two days,” Vanney said.

off picture.
The Edmonton Eskimos will
finish fourth and thus become the
crossover team come playoff time
in the CFL. That was determined
by the Saskatchewan Roughrid-
ers’ 27-19 win over the BC Lions on
Friday night.
Anything more than that will
have to wait at least another week.
The Calgary Stampeders (11-5)
and Riders (11-5) remain tied for
top spot in the West but are just
two points ahead of the third-
place Winnipeg Blue Bombers
(10-7) entering weekend action.
Amazingly, the possibility exists
for those teams to end the season
all tied for first at 11-7.
Having said all that, the de-
fending Grey Cup-champion
Stampeders remain in the best
position to finish first and cement
home-field advantage for the
West final Nov. 17.
Calgary can clinch a home play-
off game with a win or tie Friday
night in Winnipeg. The Stamped-
ers would secure first place with a
victory and Saskatchewan loss in
Edmonton on Saturday.
Conversely, Saskatchewan can
cement a home playoff game by
beating Edmonton (8-8) or
should Winnipeg lose or tie
against Calgary. Edmonton will
become the No. 3 playoff seed in

RACISM-AFFECTED FA CUP QUALIFIER TO BE REPLAYED
LONDON The FA Cup qualifying
match between Haringey Bor-

abandoned after racist abuse
will be replayed next week.
The Football Association said
Monday that the match will be
replayed from the start on Oct.
29 at Haringey’s home ground.
Saturday’s game saw the
players walk off in the 64th
minute, shortly after Yeovil had
gone 1-0 up on a penalty.

game that its Cameroonian

was no word on Auro, but several
of the players left training to work
on their own.
While the Yankees are now out
of the baseball playoffs, the deci-
sion had already been made to
shift Wednesday’s game to Citi
Field. NYCFC has played at the
home of the Mets once before, in
the 2017 regular-season finale.
Vanney says he expects the
field dimensions to be the same
tight fit as Yankee Stadium, al-
though the stands are closer to
the playing surface.
“I don’t know anything about
the grass or anything like that,”
he added. “We assume that it will
be very similar to Yankee Stadi-
um.”
Toronto took four of six points
off NYCFC this season.
TFC blanked visiting New York
4-0 on March 29 when Pozuelo
made a dazzling debut with two
semi-final Nov. 10.
Edmonton and Winnipeg
could still finish the season with
identical records, but the Bom-
bers hold the tie-breaker by virtue
of winning the season series 2-0.
In the event of a three-way tie
for first, Calgary would be award-
ed top spot based upon a 3-2 com-
mon record between the squads.
Winnipeg would get second (3-3)
and play host to third-place Sas-
katchewan (2-3) in the conference
semi-final.
Of course, things are much
clearer in the East Division. The
Hamilton Tiger-Cats (CFL-best
13-3 record) have locked up first in
the standings and will play host to
the conference final at Tim Hor-
tons Field on Nov. 17. Montreal
will finish second and have home-
field advantage versus Edmon-
ton.
The Grey Cup game will be held
Nov. 24 at Calgary’s McMahon Sta-
dium.
COLLAROS WATCH
Zach Collaros could be moving up
the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’
quarterback depth chart.
With Chris Streveler ailing, roo-
kie Sean McGuire could get the
start Friday night when Winnipeg
plays hosts to Calgary. Streveler
was seen hobbling after the Bom-
bers’ 37-33 loss to the Stamps on
Saturday night.

Vanney wants his team to con-
trol the tempo and deny NYCFC

surface.
“The field and the players and
everybody are a lot closer togeth-
er on that field than normal so it’s
imperative that when we have

but didn’t play for Winnipeg.
Should Streveler be unable to play
in the rematch Friday night, the
expectation is Collaros would
serve as McGuire’s backup.
It has been a difficult season for
the 31-year-old Collaros. He
opened as Saskatchewan’s starter
but left early in the Riders’ season-
opening 23-17 road loss to Hamil-
ton, sustaining a concussion after
taking a high hit from former Ti-
ger-Cats teammate Simoni Law-
rence, who was suspended for two
games.
SMITH TO RETIRE
Brandon Smith, the steady Cal-
gary Stampeders defensive back,
will retire at season’s end.
The 5-foot-10, 188-pound Smith
will have spent his entire 12-year
CFL career with Calgary. Although
he was named a league all-star
just once (2014), Smith was a key
figure in three Stampeders cham-
pionship teams (2008, 2014, 2018).
The 35-year-old native of Oak-
land, Calif., has appeared in 172 ca-
reer games with Calgary, register-
ing 620 tackles, 14 special-teams
tackles, eight sacks and 17 inter-
ceptions while scoring three
touchdowns.
This season, he has 47 tackles
and two interceptions. With Cal-
gary staging this year’s Grey Cup,
the Stampeders could fittingly
give Smith a championship sen-
doff.

JONATHAN BURSTON
Jonathan Burston died suddenly
but peacefully on October 15, 2019,
after a long struggle with acquired
brain injury and complications,
which took every ounce of the
huge reserve of courage he
had. His funeral took place at
Benjamin’s Park Memorial Chapel
on Friday, October 18, 2019. He
was born in Toronto on August 8,
1961 to Ben and Margaret Burston.
Jonathan studied piano and voice
as a child, performed musical
theatre, sang in the Canadian
Children’s Opera Chorus and
composed an operetta at the age
of 11.
Prodigiously talented, he attended
the Interlochen Arts Academy
for his high school years. There
classical ballet became his artistic
focus. He studied at the National
Ballet of Canada school and
went on to perform with dance
companies in the US, Canada and
Israel. He then began academic
studies at the University of
Toronto, intending to bring an
integrative intellect that was
passionate about politics to the
study of culture and media, about
which he was equally passionate.
Distinguishing himself at U of T,
he received a Commonwealth
Scholarship and was awarded his
PhD from Goldsmiths College,
University of London, one of the
best media studies departments
in the world, in 1998. There and
thereafter at New York University,
where he deepened his work
on a Fulbright scholarship, he
produced a brilliant and original
thesis on the industrialization
of the musical theatre in the
“megamusical” phenomenon.
He was appointed to the faculty
at New York University, but after
several years, decided he wanted
to return to Canada to be closer to
his family.
He was delighted in 2002 to
join the faculty of Media and
Information Studies at Western
University. His prescient, brilliant,
singular publications examined
many kinds of performance in
addition to the “mega-musical” -
what he dubbed “militainment”
- the merger of Silicon Valley,
military and entertainment
technologies - and the digitization
of cultural labour. He had been
looking forward to tackling a
new subject - Eurovision - in the
future. Jonathan was a proud,
handsome, ebullient gay man
endowed equally with wit,
humour and a driving sense
of justice. He celebrated his
community, and was devastated
when he lost dozens of beloved
friends and colleagues to AIDS
through the 80s and early 90s.
He was passionately Jewish, with
strong ties to his family’s roots
in Israel and an insightful analyst
and critic of the political and
religious conflicts.
His was a magical presence,
and he was a loyal and devoted
brother and friend. He is survived
by his loving father, Ben Burston,
sister Varda Burstyn and husband
David Fenton, brother Daniel
Burston and wife Sharna Olfman,
nephew and niece Adam and
Gavriela Burston, cousins Joshua
Burston and Rosie Shuster, a
host of adoring and bereaved
Cohen cousins - above all Ruth,
Sue and Liz - in England, and an
equally adoring circle of friends
who loved him deeply. He will be
profoundly missed by all.

BIOGRAPHIES OF FIGURES
FICTIONAL AND HISTORICAL
Anne Hart, left, is named a member of the Order of Canada for ‘building a priceless and internationally renowned collection
of Newfoundlandiana,’ by then-governor-general Adrienne Clarkson in Ottawa in 2004. FRED CHARTRAND/THE CANADIAN PRESS
While working at Memorial University’s Centre for Newfoundland Studies,
she penned books about two Agatha Christie sleuths, first Miss Marple then Hercule Poirot,
before shifting her focus to the pioneering Labrador explorer Mina Hubbard
JOAN SULLIVAN
A
nne Hart was a librarian by pro-
fession, but her aptitude for
storytelling and exacting re-
search led her to write her own
popular and critically acclaimed books,
starting with two authorized fictional
biographies of Agatha Christie’s be-
loved sleuths: The Life and Times of Miss
Jane Marple (1985, Dodd, Mead), and The
Life and Times of Hercule Poirot (Pavilion/
Penguin, 1990). Both were eventually
translated into seven languages, includ-
ing Dutch and Japanese.
Equally notable was her success in
gaining permission for the books in the
first place. The estate of Ms. Christie,
who had died in 1976, was very protec-
tive of her work and Ms. Hart’s first con-
tact with the estate agent, Hughes Mas-
sie Ltd. of London, England, was not
promising. “He wrote back and said,
more or less, ‘Shut up and go away. You
can’t do this,’ ” she told Memorial Uni-
versity of Newfoundland’s newspaper,
The Gazette, in 1998. “But I kept on with
it because it was such fun.”
She sent the Marple manuscript to
Dodd, Mead, Ms. Christie’s American
publisher, and they liked it so much
they sent a copy to Ms. Christie’s daugh-
ter and estate overseer, Rosalind Hicks.
Not only did Ms. Hicks allow it, but she
invited Ms. Hart to visit her in Devon and
asked her to follow up with a biography
of Hercule Poirot. As Ms. Hart told Atlan-
tic Insight magazine in 1985, “It’s true it
is a bit of a coup for someone from New-
foundland, but then, I took the project
very seriously. I felt I had a marketable
idea and I set out to be a meticulous
biographer.”
In the role of biographer, Ms. Hart al-
so collaborated with Roberta Buchanan
and Bryan Greene on the acclaimed The
Woman Who Mapped Labrador: The Life
and Expedition of Mina Hubbard (McGill-
Queen’s, 2005): Ms. Buchanan annotat-
ed Ms. Hubbard’s expedition diary, Mr.
Greene detailed her cartography and
Ms. Hart wrote her personal story.
Ms. Hubbard (1870-1956), had set out
in June, 1905, with dresses, supplies and
four escorts, crossing 927 kilometres
from North West River to Ungava Bay in
61 days – mostly by canoe – completing
the journey that had defeated, and
killed, her husband, Leonidas, two years
before. (Ms. Hubbard also competed
against, and triumphed over, the rival
expedition of her husband’s former
partner, Dillon Wallace.)
Unlike other adventurers who fo-
cused on hardships and peril, Ms. Hub-
bard “just loved the whole thing,” Ms.
Hart told The Beacon newspaper in
2005. Significantly, the journey resulted
in notable advancements in geographi-
cal knowledge, and is an achievement in
the history of Canadian women’s scien-
tific work, Parks Canada historian Mar-
ianne Stopp said in an e-mail.
Eventually recognized for her contri-
butions, Ms. Hubbard was made a Fel-
low of Britain’s Royal Geographical So-
ciety in 1927, and her book A Woman’s
Way Through Unknown Labrador (1908)

WRITER, CURATOR, 84 BUSINESS OWNER, 95
Purdue Pharma
matriarch was part
of family blamed
for opioid epidemic
SAM ROBERTS
B
everly Sackler, a philanthropist
and matriarch of the family that
owns Purdue Pharma, whose pain-
killer OxyContin has been blamed
for the opioid epidemic, died on Monday.
She was 95.
Her death was disclosed in a legal filing
by Purdue Pharma’s lawyers in U.S. Bank-
ruptcy Court, where last month state and
local jurisdictions and other plaintiffs
reached a settlement that would require
the family to relinquish the company and
pay at least US$3-billion in claims. Purdue
Pharma filed for bankruptcy; suits from 25
states are pending.
Last week, a judge in bankruptcy court
in White Plains, N.Y., citing the mounting
legal costs, ordered a pause in those states’
action and urged the parties to work to-
ward a compromise.
Ms. Sackler had been a board member
of Purdue Pharma since 1993.
The court filing did not say where she
died, give the cause of death or list who
she leaves. She lived in Greenwich, Conn.
Ms. Sackler’s husband, Raymond, was
the youngest and last surviving of three
brothers, all psychiatrists, who in 1952
bought what became Purdue Pharma.
Raymond died in 2017 at 97. Arthur, the
eldest, died in 1987; Mortimer in 2010.
Almost 2,700 lawsuits have been filed
against Purdue Pharma asserting that in
its marketing of OxyContin it failed to
warn doctors and patients about the risks
of addiction, and hundreds of those suits
name members of the Sackler family as
culpable because they were officers or
board members of the company, which is
based in Stamford, Conn.
Purdue Pharma’s profits fuelled a phil-
anthropic dynasty, which endowed pro-
fessorships and cultural prizes around the
world and emblazoned the family name
on medical institutes and museums.
