The document summarizes the author's love of visiting historic cemeteries while traveling. It describes two cemeteries in particular that provide the author a sense of calm: 1) Rome's Non-Catholic Cemetery, where John Keats is buried among beautiful landscapes and cats. The cemetery is located near the Pyramid of Cestius. 2) Old Town Cemetery in Stirling, Scotland, praised by William Wordsworth for its verdant hills and monuments. It is situated between Stirling Castle and the Church of the Holy Rude. Both cemeteries allow the author to find respite from busy travel among peaceful surroundings that include famous poets and picturesque scenery.

M
y love affair with cemeteries began with the
grave of 19th-century American poet Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow. He lay entombed on
Mt. Auburn Cemetery’s Indian Ridge Path amid bro-
ken, green-hued sunlight, creeping periwinkles, and a
red-tailed hawk perched in the tree overhead. My first
crush in a lifetime of romances with poets, visiting
Longfellow’s final resting place filled my head with
rhyming verses and New England tales.
“I looked quietly down into it without one feeling
of dread,” Longfellow declared on a visit to his own
designated plot after the death of his first wife. “It is a
beautiful spot, this Mount Auburn.” I, too, was wooed
by its natural beauty.
A child of the city, it became my sanctuary; a read-
ing spot forever tied to my love of literature.
It was there I experienced a rare calm, despite the
gloomy headstones and Victorian mausoleums that
were constant reminders of the cemetery’s chief pur-
pose. Somehow the juxtaposition of stark mortality
with a lush landscape gave me a comfort with my own
temporary state. A childhood mix of titillation and
fear for ghosts and ghouls gradually grew into an
genuine appreciation of Victorian aesthetics and the
macabre. I had discovered the charms of the garden
cemetery, the thrilling mix of spookiness and verdant
life.
Created in 1831 in Cambridge, Mass., in response to
unhealthy, overcrowded graveyards of yore, Mt.
Auburn was America’s first garden cemetery. I
roamed its rolling landscape through pathways with
names like Citron Lane and Lilac Path written on offi-
cial yet quaint poles. Sunbathing turtles edged its tiny
ponds. If I was feeling stoic and in need of light, I’d
make my way over to Christian Science founder Mary
Baker Eddy’s sun-soaked granite colonnade overlook-
ing Halcyon Lake. The days often culminated in a
climb to the top of Washington Tower for sweeping
views of the Boston area.
As I grew up and ventured out, I began a ritual –
often with dead poets as my hosts – of seeking out
beautiful, cemetery oases in cities around the world.
They provide brief escapes from the hectic pace of
travelling among the living. From the shadow of an
ancient pyramid to the foot of a stately castle, here are
two more of my favourite cemeteries to unwind in
and explore.
ROME’S NON-CATHOLIC CEMETERY
A curious painting provided a clue to my beloved, pic-
turesque cemetery. Nestled in the home of John Keats
along Rome’s Spanish Steps, the Keats-Shelley Memo-
rial House and museum commemorates the lives of
these two Romantics living abroad in Italy. The paint-
ing, found in the room where Keats, 25, passed his
final, laboured breath thanks to consumption, depicts
a tranquil, pastoral setting with a seemingly out-of-
place pyramid in the background. The description
reads: Non-Catholic Cemetery, also known as the
Protestant Cemetery. The mere description of its vio-
lets – his favourite flower – convinced an ailing Keats
to be buried there, as he “already seemed to feel the
flowers growing on him.”
And so I ventured off the beaten tourist path of
ancient ruins and elaborate Catholic churches to
Rome’s Testaccio neighbourhood to find Keats’s – and
my own – sweet escape. The clouds parted and the
day’s rain subsided just as I entered Cimitero Acattol-
ico, the “Non-Catholic Cemetery for Foreigners” as it is
welcomingly called. Within its high walls, I found a
silent landscape of sloping paths lined by Cypress and
pomegranate trees, and bright flowers shaking off the
recent rainfall. As an added bonus, an army of very-
much-alive cats napped on the detailed, sculptural
gravestones. Last year, the cemetery celebrated its
300th anniversary as a dedicated burial ground to
“Protestants, Muslims, Jews, Orthodox Christians, and
other non-Christians” residing in the heart of Roman
Catholicism.
I found Keats’s violet-covered grave just as prom-
ised. Fellow Romantic Percy Bysshe Shelley said of
Keats’s burial spot: “It might make one in love with
death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet
a place.” Shelley would consummate that lust at 29,
joining Keats at Cimitero Acattolico after a mysterious
boating accident in Italy.
Beyond Keats’s memorial looms the Pyramid of
Cestius, built as a tomb for Gaius Cestius circa 12 BC
and linked to the Aurelian Walls once fortifying the
city in the third century AD. It was my initial clue
from the painting. The Cat Sanctuary, where the cem-
etery’s many feline guardians are fed and cared for,
was just below.
More than 6,400 kilometres from my native Bos-
ton, I felt at home for a brief moment reading a quick
poem among its gardens and purring felines that ri-
valled the flora and fauna of my first love, Mt. Auburn.
On my otherwise hectic visit to Rome, it was my first
moment of quiet reflection. I no longer wondered
why Oscar Wilde called it “the holiest place in Rome.”
It was morbid, but peaceful.
OLD TOWN CEMETERY, STIRLING, SCOTLAND
The words of another Romantic led me to my next
favourite “final” destination. “We know of no sweeter
cemetery in all of our wanderings than that of Stir-
ling,” said William Wordsworth of Old Town Ceme-
tery. I appreciated the tip, even if Wordworth loyalties
were questionable: he ended up buried in “the love-
liest spot” in a churchyard in Grasmere, England. On
what seemed the singular day of Scottish summer, I
departed my fellow castle-hungry tourists for holier
ground.
Roughly 40 kilometres from Glasgow, Stirling’s Old
Town Cemetery was built in the mid-1800s to cele-
brate Scottish Presbyterianism and as a calculated de-
parture from the standard British burial grounds.
Unlike Britain’s ubiquitous churchyards, Old Town’s
verdant, hilly design spreads over the valley between
the imposing Stirling Castle and the Church of the
Holy Rude. Its graves range from tall Gothic-styled
tombstones to more elaborate structures like the glass
cupola enshrining its famed The Martyrs Monument.
Like Cimitero Acattolico, Old Town has its own pyr-
amid tomb, albeit much smaller and centuries young-
er. The Star Pyramid is made of sandstone ashlar and
surrounded by a “pleasure garden” of wildflowers,
butterflies, and frolicking jackdaws.
I found a perfect reading bench high atop the sum-
mit of the Ladies’ Rock – a mini mountain named for
its prime “knight-views” by ladies of court during
jousting tournaments. Before heading out, I spied a
kindred spirit and fellow graveyard enthusiast reading
while nestled on a craggy ledge below. We both
emerged from book and cemetery renewed and ready
to get on with life.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected repeated
opposition demands on Monday to reveal the
names of other cabinet ministers who used the
same loophole as Finance Minister Bill Morneau
to avoid divesting personal investments or put-
ting them in a blind trust.
The Office of Conflict of Interest and Ethics
Commissioner Mary Dawson told The Globe and
Mail that a handful of cabinet ministers have
managed to retain control of assets they would be
required to divest if this wealth was not held indi-
rectly through a holding company or similar
mechanism.
Ms. Dawson’s office, citing confidentiality rules,
declined to identify the ministers but said “fewer
than five cabinet ministers currently hold con-
trolled assets indirectly.”
The issue, first reported by The Globe on Mon-
day, dominated the Com-
mons Question Period.
Opposition Leader
Andrew Scheer pressed Mr.
Trudeau to name the other
cabinet ministers “using
the exact same loophole. It
is a very simple question.
Who are they?”
Mr. Trudeau would not
reveal any names despite
numerous requests from
opposition MPs, calling the
line of inquiry nothing but “petty personal
attacks.”
“The Finance Minister, all ministers in this
House … follow the advice and recommendations
of the Conflict of Interest Commissioner,” the
Prime Minister told the Commons. “The conflict
of interest and ethics commissioner is there to
ensure that, above all of these petty personal
attacks, Canadians can be confident that people
follow the rules.”
The refusal of both Ms. Dawson and the Prime
Minister to reveal names make it difficult to know
for certain who is using the loophole.
“This is some sort of shell game going on where
you have to guess at who might or might not be
in a conflict of interest,” NDP ethics critic Nathan
Cullen told reporters.

Dams built decades ago in an era
of relatively lax environmental
rules have significantly disrupted
the flow of water on the Saskatch-
ewan River and the aboriginal
way of life, particularly the fishery
on the river. Now, Saskatchewan is
preparing to grant licences that
would continue that disruption in
perpetuity.
The leaders of the Cumberland
House Cree First Nation are not
asking for the E.B. Campbell dam,
which is about 100 kilometres
upriver from their community,
and the Nipawin dam, which is 60
kilometres beyond that, to be
shut down or dismantled – al-
though it might come to that if
the effects cannot be mitigated
any other way.
Rather, they want a full consult-
ation before in-perpetuity licences
are approved. They want to do
their own study on how the dams
will further impede their ability to
exercise their treaty rights to hunt,
trap, fish and enjoy their tradition-
al way of life – which they say
were already eroded during the
E.B. Campbell dam’s half century
of operation.
“I think they are owed the duty
to have a process that rigorously
and credibly examines the poten-
tial adverse impacts of the contin-
uation of the E.B. Campbell dam
on the nation’s treaty rights,” said
their lawyer, Tim Dickson, “and
that is what the nation believes
has not at all been adequately
done to date.”
Saskatchewan’s Water Security
Agency (WSA), the provincial reli-
censing body, said in an e-mail
that renewing the dams’ licence
does not require extensive con-
sultations because the potential
adverse effects on treaty rights
“are minor in nature.”

Mr. Papadopoulos and one of his
contacts also discussed “dirt”
that the Russians had obtained
by hacking the e-mails of Hillary
Clinton, Mr. Trump’s presidential
rival. Earlier this year, U.S. intelli-
gence agencies concluded that
the Russian government was
behind the release of embarrass-
ing e-mails stolen from the Dem-
ocratic National Committee and
fed to Wikileaks.
Throughout the process, the
indictment says, Mr. Papadopou-
los frequently updated others in
the campaign on his progress.
On March 31, 2016, Mr. Papado-
poulos attended a national-
security briefing in Washington
with Mr. Trump, at which he ad-
vised that he could help set up a
meeting with Mr. Putin. On an-
other occasion, a “campaign su-
pervisor” told Mr. Papadopoulos
he was doing “great work” in try-
ing to connect the Russian
leadership and the campaign.
The Trump administration
swiftly tried to distance itself
from Mr. Papadopoulos and Mr.
Manafort, insisting that the Dem-
ocrats should instead be investi-
gated for trying to dig up
Russian-related dirt about Mr.
Trump.
“Sorry, but this was years ago,
before Paul Manafort was part of
the Trump campaign. But why
aren’t Crooked Hillary & the
Dems the focus?????” Mr. Trump
tweeted. “Also, there is NO COL-
LUSION!”
White House spokeswoman
Sarah Huckabee Sanders told
reporters that Mr. Papadopoulos
had “little role” in the campaign
and said the indictments Mon-
day have “nothing to do with the
President.” She also vaguely
asserted that the White House
expected Mr. Mueller’s investiga-
tion to end soon, but said Mr.
Trump had no plans to fire him.
The indictments suggest Mr.
Mueller is far from done.
Solomon Wisenberg, a former
federal prosecutor who once
worked for the independent
counsel that investigated former
president Bill Clinton, said the
moves send a message to anyone
else touched by the investiga-
tion: “Be worried, be scared. …
We’re serious, we’re not ama-
teurs.” Politically, Mr. Wisenberg
said, this also makes it increas-
ingly hard for Mr. Trump to par-
don anyone or fire Mr. Mueller.
Mr. Papadopoulos was arrest-
ed in July but not charged until
this month, raising the question
of whether he has been helping
the authorities gather informa-
tion – such as by recording his
conversations with other Trump
associates – in the interim.
“There are a lot of people who
are going to have sleepless
nights, particularly if they’ve
talked to him since July,” said
Nick Akerman, a former federal
prosecutor who worked on the
Watergate scandal.
Mr. Papadopoulos’s Russian
connections are unnamed in the
indictment, identified only as
“the professor,” a “female Rus-
sian national” and a man with
connections to the Russian for-
eign ministry. The Washington
Post named the professor as
Joseph Mifsud, honorary director
of the London Academy of
Diplomacy.
The prospective meeting be-
tween Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin
never materialized. One cam-
paign official – unnamed in the
indictment but identified by The
Washington Post as Mr. Manafort
– wrote that Mr. Trump “is not
doing these trips.” Mr. Papado-
poulos’s higher-ups in the cam-
paign instead encouraged him to
make an “off-the-record” trip to
Russia himself for meetings with
the Kremlin. That trip did not
end up happening.
The professor, who was Mr.
Papadopoulos’s first point of
contact with the Russians,
informed him at an April 26,
2016, breakfast meeting in Lon-
don that Moscow had “thou-
sands” of Ms. Clinton’s e-mails.
The meeting bore striking simi-
larities to a June 9 sit-down at
Trump Tower between Mr. Mana-
fort, Mr. Trump’s oldest son,
Donald Jr., son-in-law Jared
Kushner and a Russian lawyer. In
arranging the meeting, an inter-
mediary had told the younger
Mr. Trump that the Russian
government wanted to give the
campaign scandalous informa-
tion about Ms. Clinton.
“I love it,” Donald Jr. wrote in
an e-mail at the time. He has
subsequently insisted not much
of interest happened at the
meeting.
CHARGES, A1
Expert says
Papadopoulos’s
plea is all but
unprecedented
O
n Friday, CNN broke the
news that special prosecut-
or Robert Mueller had filed
charges against someone in Don-
ald Trump’s circle and would
reveal the target on Monday. The
news sent the public into a flurry
of speculation damning in its own
right: The list of people in the
President’s camp under federal
investigation is so long that there
was no way to predict with confi-
dence who the first indicted
would be.
Today, the loser of this per-
verse game of Clue was named: it
was Paul Manafort, with alleged
money-laundering all over the
world. His arrest was not surpris-
ing: In September, Mr. Mueller
had told Mr. Manafort – a GOP op-
erative who served dictators and
oligarchs abroad before becoming
Mr. Trump’s campaign manager
in 2016 – that his indictment was
forthcoming. But Mr. Manafort’s
surrender on Monday to the FBI
still feels shocking.
The indictment of Mr. Mana-
fort – which focuses on his work
with lobbyist Richard Gates (also
indicted) to boost Kremlin lack-
eys in Ukraine and their alleged
money-laundering – does not in-
dicate that justice will be served,
but that justice remains possible,
at least for now. The wheels of
justice may finally be turning, but
they grind slowly like the initial
trek up a roller coaster, and
Americans should expect a stom-
ach-turning plunge as the Trump
administration retaliates and
whiplash as the investigation pro-
ceeds.
From the beginning, Mr.
Trump has operated with the au-
dacity of an autocrat. The select-
ion of Mr. Manafort – a
notoriously shady operative who
has been under federal investiga-
tion for several years – as chair-
man of Mr. Trump’s election
campaign was itself an audacious
move, indicating that Mr. Trump
had no qualms about aligning
himself with a possible criminal
with a fondness for dictators.
When the extent of Mr. Mana-
fort’s illicit Russia ties was
exposed in March, Mr. Trump and
his spokespeople played down
their relationship with equal au-
dacity, claiming the President
barely knew Mr. Manafort – a fel-
low resident of Trump Tower who
had been in his social circle for
more than 30 years.
As the Manafort news broke on
Monday, Mr. Trump continued to
twist the truth, tweeting that
“Crooked Hillary & the Dems”
were the real Russia conspirators
and that “there is NO COLLU-
SION!” About two weeks before
Mr. Manafort’s indictment, Mr.
Trump’s team had begun a co-
ordinated propaganda blitz to flip
the script on Russia – a sign that
they knew they could no longer
deny foreign interference, so they
had no recourse left but to try to
blame those, such as Hillary Clin-
ton, who opposed and exposed it.
The Russia reversal was so pre-
dictable I gave a speech about it
before it happened, and while the
propaganda is partially aimed to
divert from Mr. Mueller’s charges,
it also shows a disturbing willing-
ness to persecute private citizens.
Unable to deliver the Mexico wall
or Obamacare repeal, the Presi-
dent’s team has reverted to the
campaign promise of “lock her
up” – a promise that extends well
beyond Ms. Clinton. One should
expect Mr. Trump’s camp to tar-
get any perceived opponent who
has documented the administra-
tion’s illicit dealings, and to
potentially fire Mr. Mueller –
much as Mr. Trump fired James
Comey, Sally Yates and Preet
Bharara before.
That the Trump administration
is stocked with men whose loyal-
ty to Mr. Trump possibly super-
sedes their loyalty to the
Constitution makes the conse-
quences of any indictment highly
uncertain. The Manafort dragnet
potentially implicates Attorney-
General Jeff Sessions, who ran Mr.
Trump’s foreign-policy campaign
team and illicitly met with Rus-
sian officials under Mr. Manafort’s
direction, as well as Mike Pence,
who was selected by Mr. Manafort
to be Mr. Trump’s running mate.
In addition to being charged with
money-laundering, Mr. Manafort
has been charged with “conspira-
cy against the United States.”

charges don’t
ensure justice –

OPINION
How Papadopoulos
went from plying
Russia contacts
to aiding probe
THE MEETING
George Papadopoulos’s Russian contacts began in March of 2016, shortly after he
joined the Trump campaign as a foreign-policy adviser. He started by making
overtures to a London-based university professor he met in Italy. The man is uni-
dentified in Justice Department documents, but The Washington Post has pre-
viously named him as Joseph Mifsud, director of the London Academy of
Diplomacy. On March 24, Mr. Papadopoulos met the professor and a “female Rus-
sian national” who falsely presented herself as Russian President Vladimir
Putin’s niece in London. When Mr. Papadopoulos told his higher-ups in the cam-
paign about the sit-down, one replied “great work.”
THE LIE
Over breakfast in London on April 26, 2016, the professor told Mr. Papadopoulos
that Russia had “thousands of e-mails” that contained “dirt” on Ms. Clinton –
presumably a reference to the hacked Democratic National Committee e-mails
that would later be released through Wikileaks. When the FBI asked Mr. Papado-
poulos about this information, he insisted he learned about the e-mails before
he joined Mr. Trump’s campaign. Mr. Papadopoulos insisted it was merely “a
very strange coincidence” that he received this information.
THE COVERUP
The day after his second interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in
February, 2017, Mr. Papadopoulos deactivated his Facebook account and created a
new one, and also switched telephone numbers. This was designed to dissociate
himself from his communications with his Kremlin intermediaries, including the
professor and another man connected with the Russian foreign ministry.
GAME OVER
On July 27, 2017, Mr. Papadopoulos was arrested at Dulles International Airport
near Washington. After his arrest, the document notes, Mr. Papadopoulos “met
with [special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators] on numerous occasions to
provide information and answer questions.” Separately, Mr. Papadopoulos’s plea
agreement stipulates that the government will make sure the court knows that
he is co-operating with the investigation – a factor that could get him a lighter
sentence – on condition he continues to “provide information.”
TRUMP IN ATTENDANCE
On March 31, 2016, Mr. Papadopoulos was photographed sitting a few seats away
from Donald Trump at a “national-security meeting” of the campaign team. Dur-
ing the session, the document says, Mr. Papadopoulos said that he had contacts
that could pull together a meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin.

4. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2017 | THE GLOBE AND MAIL I A21
I
lost a friend this summer. It wasn’t a death, al-
though it feels like one. A friend I made in my
early 20s divorced me – by ghosting – ending a
30-year relationship.
We met on a field trip in our student days. We
never lived in the same town, but we built and
maintained our relationship with liberal letter
writing and later by e-mail. Phone calls, Skype
calls and infrequent trips to visit each other’s new
homes kept our friendship strong for more than
three decades.
Last year, she was “simply too busy” to stop by.
I understood, she needed family time with her
aging mom and adult children. I thought I sensed
a chill, but maybe I was imagining it.
This year on her annual visit home – I don’t live
too far away – she “didn’t have a moment to
spare.” This time there was no question – she was
avoiding me.
Gently in an e-mail, I inquired. I sensed a chasm
between us. Was she okay? Was there something
I’d said or done to cause this distance in our
friendship, or was it something I hadn’t said or
hadn’t done?
A month later, I received a reply by e-mail. In a
carefully worded dissertation, I read a
long list of my character flaws and
shortcomings as a friend. She needed
to move away from negative influ-
ences. I was one. I was no longer
needed. I was out.
It was painful. My feelings were hurt.
My ego, bruised. A fissure ran through
my heart. Surprisingly, I wasn’t angry,
but I was humiliated by the deceit and
affronted by her tactics. If I hadn’t inquired, how
long would the silent treatment have gone on? I
felt a fool for not seeing it coming.
On social media, I’d seen her posters with self-
affirming statements such as, “Giving up our rela-
tionship doesn’t mean I hate you, it means I love
me more,” and “Delete the negative people from
your life!” I thought she was railing against her ex-
husband. It never occurred to me that I was the
negative element that needed deleting.
I had no context for the experience. I’ve never
been deleted or unfriended before. I wondered if it
was a stage of life thing. Was a friendship divorce a
normal experience in your 50s? Maybe we’re all
just too tired, too sleep-deprived from meno-
pause. Maybe we don’t have the patience to accept
failures and imperfections in our friends any
more. Maybe we’re too irritable to tolerate slights,
too tired to strive to work things out.
I found myself paying attention to items she
had given me as gifts over the years. I suppose I
was grieving. I admired her art hanging in my
kitchen. I dug around in my desk and found the
sterling silver letter opener she’d made for me,
adorned with an opal, my birthstone. I wore the
gold earrings she’d given me for a week straight. I
felt terrible. How could three decades of friend-
ship end like this?
I worked at finding something positive in the
experience. I tried to garner something learned. I
went so far as to feel proud of her. If she was suf-
fering and needed healing and ditching me was
the way to get it, then, good. After all, she was my
friend. What I wanted most for her was a happy
healthy life.
And yet, it didn’t sit well. The long slow freeze
out had been an insidious act, disrespectful in its
duplicity. I kept thinking that there had to be a
better way, a more noble way to end a friendship.
In looking for answers, I queried my friends,
“Was this how things were done now?”
“It happens all the time,” my twentysomething
friends explained. “You get sick of somebody, you
just ghost them.”
“Ghost them?”
“It’s a term from the online dating world. You
know, if you’re fed up with someone you just
ghost them, you disappear out of their life with-
out a word. It’s the ultimate cold shoulder.”
I was dumbfounded. Steadfast avoidance, the
coward’s way out, that’s what’s in? I searched for
guidance online, hoping to find gracious unfriend-
ing strategies and advice on how to end relation-
ships with integrity. I was disturbed to find just
the opposite.
Authors crowed, “It’s better this
way!” while gloating that the self-serv-
ing tactic is “harder on them, but easi-
er on you!” Total nonverbal rejection
was the best way some purported. It
was even better, apparently, to make
sure that your friends knew their mes-
sages have been read and purposely
left unanswered.
Writers insisted that one should never unfriend
someone in person. Never agree to a meeting, stall
a rendezvous at all costs they said. If pressed, one
advice-giver suggested agreeing to meet and then
cancelling at the last minute as a sure way to
“send a message.”
Obviously I was out of touch. Have more than
two decades of reality TV taught us a new way to
deal with people we don’t like; we vote them off
the island or fire them from the show? Have we
become a society that believes that to ignore and
avoid, to delete someone or to ghost them, is “for
the best” simply because it’s easier?
I guess I am old-fashioned. I believe in stepping
up to the uncomfortable, to being willing to feel
pain if you are knowingly causing it. Ghosting is
no way to end a relationship – it’s the desecration
of friendship itself. After all, our humanity is not
defined by how we treat our friends, but by how
we treat the people who are not our friends or no
longer our friends. I believe it is possible to care
about others even if you do not wish to carry on a
relationship with them.
I still care about my friend and I miss her, but I
respect the decision she has made to let me go. I
wish she had been less fashionable. I wish she had
shown more courage. Even though the friendship
was over, I wish she had shown me that she still
cared.

YOU COWARD
I sensed a chasm
between us. Was she
okay? Was there
something I’d said or

distance in our
friendship, or was it
something I hadn’t
said or hadn’t done?
If you don’t want to be my friend any more,
Jennifer M. Smith writes, then at least be honest about it
THE QUESTION
I recently completed my PhD
and started working on another
project immediately afterward. I
was able to get a workspace at
an organization a few days dur-
ing the week (I have another job
on the other days). The people
at the office are warm and wel-
coming, but my issue is about
socializing with a larger group.
I’m not used to office culture.
One on one I’m fine, but I find it
hard to join in conversations
that go around in the cubicles,
or when people congregate in
the kitchen. I can hold my own
at parties. Here, though, I feel
awkward. I would like to join in
and add to the conversation, but
I haven’t been in this kind of
work setting before. I also spent
the past year focused on my the-
sis and was writing in relative
isolation. My social group was
small and consisted of family
and close friends.
Now, I’m realizing how out of
practice I am at making small
talk. I’m worried I’m giving the
impression that I don’t want to
engage socially or that perhaps
I’m aloof, which isn’t true.
Actually, I’d like to grow my net-
work, meet cool people and
become more social. Any
advice?
THE ANSWER
You’ve come to the right place.
All my life, I’ve alternated be-
tween office work and writing in
splendid isolation in my home
office. At the risk of stating the
obvious: You say you’re good at
parties but find it difficult to so-
cialize at work. The reason is
because seeing people socially
and socializing with them at
work are two distinct animals/
entities.
When we see people socially,
it tends to be for short periods
and not that often – say a few
hours every few weeks – and
there’s not a lot at stake. So peo-
ple are able to present their best
face to you, the “greatest hits” of
their personality.
But when you’re cheek-to-
jowl, cubicle-to-cubicle, all day,
day in, day out with someone,
you get a more three-dimen-
sional picture of a person’s char-
acter. On the few occasions I’ve
worked with someone I’d pre-
viously only known socially,
even someone I’d known a long
time, it was a revelation: I’ve
only really known the tip of the
iceberg of this person.
Then there’s the food-on-
table aspect of work. Non-work
socializing is all, “Ha-ha-ha, pass
the chardonnay, let me tell you
about my trip to Curacao, you
look great in that shirt by the
way …”
At work, it’s all about keeping
that same shirt on your back, as
well as groceries in the fridge
and diapers on the baby. People
are willing to go to the mattress
for that sort of thing. Suddenly,
there are stakes.
People at work are socializing,
yes, but with more of an agenda:
covering their asses, trying to get
ahead, maybe glean some infor-
mation about you to rat you out,
curry favour with the boss, and
so on.
(At least if the places I’ve
worked are anything to go by.)
So they tend to behave in a
more Machiavellian fashion,
backstabbing and double-cross-
ing, playing cards closer to the
vest than they do at, say, a din-
ner party.
But you’re in a unique posi-
tion in that you have no real
skin in the game when it comes
to the politics of the office in
which you occupy a cubicle.
You’re a renter, an interloper,
an outsider. On the one hand, it
means you are missing out on a
key avenue to making friend-
ships – working on a shared
enterprise – but on the other, it
means you can lend an impar-
tial ear to whatever whining,
complaining and kvetching peo-
ple need to unburden them-
selves.

OPINION
FACTS & ARGUMENTSA10 I THE GLOBE AND MAIL | SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2017
Photographs and text by Alia Youssef
MEHNAZ AHMED
“In most environments I find myself in (UofT,
a lab, airplanes, other countries) I believe
that I am perceived as a minority. Sometimes
I think people see me as a token... a represen-
tation of the ‘Muslim woman’, almost like a
prototype for how most Muslim women act,
what they do, and what they aspire to be.”
THE BIG PICTURE
When Mehnaz isn’t busy being a full time
Bachelor of Science student, an undergrad
researcher, and a senior mentor with the
FITF Peer mentorship program, she enjoys
going to quaint neighborhoods, indepen-
dent gelato shops, and strolling by a large
body of water on a nice day. She is 22
years old, was born in Canada, and her
favourite quality in someone else is when
they put in the effort to learn things about
her. This brought up an interesting ques-
tion of how she feels others perceive her.
“I would like to be perceived as a capable,
intelligent, confident person whose deter-
mination, perseverance and resilience
amounted to any success I am fortunate
to receive. Furthermore, I hope to one day
be perceived as a kind, generous, philan-
thropic leader who just happens to be a
follower of Islam and is a good role
model.”
SUMAIYA TUFAIL
“The woods is a place where I can escape the
city, pollution, people, exchange O2 with the
trees, make Dhikr (remembrance) of Allah,
and be inspired to write a poem.”
Sumaiya, known widely as “Sumi Speaks”
on her social media platforms, is a 22 year
old Poet. She’s currently studying in
Sudan for a year learning Arabic and will
be launching a visual poetry book in a few
months. Her book will talk about topics
that are important to Sumaiya, such as
3rd wave feminism, consumerism, islamo-
phobia, self-hate, stigma, and naturalism.
Because of her work, Sumaiya suspects
that she’s perceived as an outspoken and
positive person and she hopes to be a pos-
itive inspiring person to the people who
see her work and who are around her.
Even though Sumaiya’s favourite quality
about herself is that she’s extremely
ambitious, the one thing she knows for
sure is that “if you believe you can accom-
plish anything with Allah you will.”
SAHAR ANSARI
“This is one my favourite spiritual places
with good vibrations for me.”
The
Sister’s
Project
Sahar is a 33 year old regulatory affair
specialist in Pharmaceuticals from Iran.
Her favourite hobby is listening to tradi-
tional music, being in nature, and spend-
ing as much time as she can by the water.
When I asked Sahar what her own fav-
ourite quality was she responded, “my
smile never goes off from my lips”(which
I can’t help but agree with.) She is a beau-
tiful soul that believes the most impor-
tant part of life is to live life with love.
Sahar told me if there is one thing she
knows for sure it is that "we are nothing-
everything is nothing but love.”

AIMA WARRIACH
“Being bombarded of images such as the
niqab being worn by ISIS terrorists, images
of sunken eyes, and worn out souls, I took it
upon myself to change that narrative.”
Aima, 20, is a politics student, an anime/
manga and all things Korean enthusiast,
a lover of books, and has endless passion
and energy. Her passion and energy,
especially for fighting the patriarchy, is
her favourite quality about herself, and
her favourite quality in another person is
resilience when faced with hardships, but
also their ability to be in touch with their
emotions. Aima told me, “I wear niqab as
an act of defiance against the patriarchy
that keeps telling me what to wear
because somehow they know what it
means to be liberated from “Taliban like
oppression.” she continued to say,
“because at the end of the day being a
Muslim, woman of colour, Canadian-
immigrant, and a feminist to top it all off,
it doesn’t matter if I free the nipple or if I
wear niqab. My body will be policed and
my choices scrutinized.” The most impor-
tant thing to Aima is expressing her soli-
darity and using her skills and energy to
help others become more “woke” and
aware of today's issues.
JANA GHALAYINI
“Our collective energy and efforts can make
a change no matter how big or small that
change is, if it is positive it will lead to some-
thing greater!”
Jana is a 24 year old artist. She recently
received her BFA in printmaking, and was
honoured with the medal in her pro-
gram. Her art work explores her identity,
culture, ideas of home, and sense of
place. Jana loves watching films and con-
tributing to community projects such as
the Palestinian film festival. Jana’s fav-
ourite place to be is wherever she can
make her work. That way she can reflect
on and understand herself better, and
she can also stay true to herself which is
most important to her. One thing she’s
realized about herself and come to love is
how empathetic and intuitive she is. She
told me these qualities really come
through when she is making her art.
When I asked Jana what one thing is that
she knows for sure she told me,
ASALAH YOUSSEF
“The barn is my happy place, it’s where ev-
erything else that happened in the day
doesn’t matter anymore, because the only
thing I need to focus on is myself and my
horse. It’s is such a therapeutic place. Some-
times it helps me to control my emotions
and sometimes it helps me to release them,
because you get to be one with nature and
your horse.”
Asalah is a 14-year-old student at a fine
art high school and an advocate for the
Real Acts of Caring organization. She has
been featured on podcasts, spoken to
high school students, and advocated to
local and national school boards, and city
councils about how important spreading
acts of love and kindness is in everyday
life and how it should be a focus of teach-
ing in schools. She was chosen by the
Vancouver Canucks to be a ‘Hammers
Hero’ and a video was played about her
during the game’s half time and the
entire stadium and hockey team cheered
her on. When she’s not helping the peo-
ple around her, she likes to either be
practicing her love for photography,
going on walks in nature, or spending
time with and riding her horse.
From pre-19th century imperialism to Trump’s Muslim ban, colonial representations of Muslim
women have circulated in literature and media time and time again. These representations depict
Arab women as voiceless, oppressed, demure, and helpless, essentially complete victims of their
patriarchal societies. This one-dimensional image is stamped repeatedly on the bodies of every
single Muslim woman, all 850 million of them, Arab or not. This “sameness” has had a part in
motivating a 42% increase in the number of hate crimes against Muslim women in the past three
years and has become the basis for widespread islamophobia. The Sisters Project counters the
idea that Muslim women can be painted with one brush by humanizing and diversifying the nar-
ratives of Muslim women. The project asserts that agency and individuality is broadly present in
Islam, intrinsically and extrinsically, in the everyday lives of women across the globe. The portraits
that make up this project show Canadian Muslim women doing and creating, showing their abili-
ties, and excelling on all levels in their communities. Whether a kinesiology student considering
medical school, an ESL teacher who eases immigrants into Canadian life, or the program manager
of Ecotrust working tirelessly to preserve the British Columbian rainforest, these women make up
the fabric of contemporary Canada. This project subverts labels and false associations, counters
voicelessness and lack of agency, and shows women in control of their lives.

Israeli actor
played a
femme fatale
in spy spoofs
D
aliah Lavi, an Israeli actress
who transitioned from se-
rious parts in foreign cin-
ema and in dramatic films like
“Lord Jim” to lighthearted turns
in 1960s spy-movie spoofs like
“Casino Royale,” died on Wednes-
day at her home in Asheville, N.C.
She was 74.
Her husband, Charles Gans,
confirmed her death but did not
specify the cause.
Ms. Lavi, who spoke several
languages, became an actress as
a teenager while studying ballet
in Sweden. Her first movie was a
1955 Swedish adaptation of Au-
gust Strindberg’s novel “The Peo-
ple of Hemso.”
She went on to play a reporter
in the German thriller “The Re-
turn of Dr. Mabuse” (1961), the ro-
mantic lead flogged in Mario Ba-
va’s lurid Italian horror film “The
Whip and the Body” (1963), and
Cunégonde to Jean-Pierre Cassel’s
Candide in a 1960 French film ad-
aptation of Voltaire’s novel.
“A new actress by the name of
Dahlia Lavi is impressive along
the lines of Brigitte Bardot or
Claudia Cardinale as the lustrous
Cunégonde,” Bosley Crowther
wrote in a review in The New York
Times, which, like many reviews
and film credits from the period,
misspelled Ms. Lavi’s first name.
Her first American film was
“Two Weeks in Another Town”
(1962), Vincente Minnelli’s dra-
ma, starring Kirk Douglas, about
filming a movie in Rome. Ms. Lavi
said Mr. Douglas had discovered
her as a child in Israel and started
her on the path to becoming an
actress.
“Lord Jim” (1965), Richard
Brooks’s adaptation of the Jo-
seph Conrad novel starring Peter
O’Toole, was to be the breakout
American role for Ms. Lavi, who
played Mr. O’Toole’s love interest.
But the movie flopped, and Ms.
Lavi accepted a new career path
as scantily clad femmes fatales in
a number of parodies that sprung
up after the initial success of the
James Bond films.
She appeared in “The Silenc-
ers” (1966), the first of Dean Mar-
tin’s Matt Helm films, and “The
Spy With a Cold Nose” (1966), a
British comedy built around the
conceit of a bugged bulldog. It
also starred Lionel Jeffries and
Laurence Harvey.
Perhaps the best example of
the subgenre was the discursive,
psychedelic “Casino Royale”
(1967), which had almost noth-
ing in common with Ian Flem-
ing’s first Bond novel besides the
titular casino. The movie had an
ensemble cast that included Peter
Sellers, Orson Welles, Ursula An-
dress, Deborah Kerr and Woody
Allen; and an ensemble of direc-
tors that included John Huston,
Ken Hughes and Joseph McGrath,
each shooting a segment.
Ms. Lavi played a British agent
who tricks Mr. Allen’s character
into poisoning himself with an
atomic pill.
The critical response was
largely negative, but audiences
enjoyed it, making it a financial
success, as was the soundtrack
by Burt Bacharach. But it marked
the beginning of the end of Ms.
Lavi’s American film career.
Daliah Levinbuck was born on
Oct. 12, 1942, in Haifa, in what was
then British Palestine. (Her last
name at birth is spelled different-
ly by some sources online).
Ms. Lavi told The New York
Post that she was 10 when she
met Mr. Douglas, who was in Isra-
el filming “The Juggler,” and told
him that she wanted to become a
dancer.
He helped persuade her par-
ents to send her to Stockholm
for dance instruction when she
was 12. Her father died when she
was 16, and she returned to Israel,
where she worked for a time as a
swimsuit model before becoming
a full-time actress.
Ms. Lavi was married four
times. In addition to her husband,
she is survived by a sister, Michal
Vizansky; three sons, Alexander,
Rouven and Stephen Gans; a
daughter, Kathryn Rothman; and
six grandchildren.
In 1964, before “Lord Jim”
opened, Ms. Lavi told The Boston
Globe that she took the vicissi-
tudes of her film career in stride.
“I like acting and it pays well,
and they say one day I will be-
come a big star,” she said. “But I
don’t really care about an acting
career. I’d rather be a dancer.”

Please include I Remember in the subject field.
A
. Pearce Bunting, who died last month at
the age of 87, was president of the Toronto
Stock Exchange for 17 years, from 1977 to
1994. He was from central casting: hand-
some, well dressed, with impeccable manners and
a fine pedigree; he was the public ideal of what a
stock exchange president should be.
He was also a visionary who embraced the future.
Though he grew up in the era of ticker tape and
open outcry markets, with floor traders shouting
themselves hoarse – some needed voice training
to cure damaged vocal cords – as president of the
Toronto Stock Exchange he brought in computer-
aided trading, starting in 1977.
This was the beginning of the end for the floor
traders. Slowly computers took over, though the
floor of the exchange wouldn’t close until 1997.
Mr. Bunting is also credited with creating the
world’s first ETF or exchange-traded fund, when he
helped put together a way to trade the top 35 stocks
on the exchange through one instru-
ment.
John Pearce Bunting was born in
Toronto on Sept. 6, 1929, three days
after stock markets hit their peak –
measured by the Dow Jones Industrial
Index – after rising tenfold during the
Roaring Twenties, following the First
World War. He was not yet two months
old when the crash happened on Wall
Street, when markets lost more than 30
per cent in one week and kept falling
until the middle of 1932.
Markets in Toronto and Montreal
(then the more important exchange) plunged with-
in hours of the crash in New York – with the news
coming by telephone or broker’s private wires, ac-
cording to a case study by Joe Martin of the Rotman
School of Management at the University of Toronto.
“Stock speculators shaken in wild day of panic,”
read The Globe’s front page headline on Oct. 30,
1929.
No brokerage houses in Toronto went under,
though, including Alfred Bunting and Co., the
firm run by Pearce Bunting’s father, Alfred, who
specialized in mining stocks. Toronto exchanges,
there were two of them at the time, fared better
than those in New York because of a mining boom,
helped in great measure by the price of gold rising
under an order from former U.S. president Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
Alfred Bunting and Co. and the Toronto markets
prospered, while Montreal firms and the Montreal
Stock Exchange, home to banks and large industri-
als, floundered. Volume on the Toronto exchanges
passed Montreal in 1934, and kept growing, presag-
ing Toronto’s rise as the financial capital of Canada,
the theme of Mr. Martin’s case study.
Pearce Bunting grew up in Oakville, Ont., insu-
lated from the Great Depression that followed the
stock market crash. The name Pearce came from his
mother, Harriet Pearce. He attended Appleby Col-
lege, a private preparatory school in Oakville. Pearce
was a top track athlete, specializing in running the
mile. He won speaking and writing contests and was
head prefect at his house at the boarding school.
He went on to McGill University, where he board-
ed with a Polish family, living in an attic. One of his
fellow boarders was Zbigniew Brzezinski, who later
became national security adviser to former U.S.
president Jimmy Carter. Mr. Bunting graduated with
a commerce degree in 1952. He worked at the bro-
kerage firm McLeod Young Weir.
Mr. Bunting told The Globe and
Mail’s Vivian Smith in 1988 that he al-
ways assumed that his father’s partner
was going to buy the firm, so he never
really planned a career in finance. He
spent the summer of 1955 in Europe
where he met his first wife, Bodil Malm-
strom. He had returned to Montreal to
work for another firm when his father
called him and said he had bought out
his partner and he asked Pearce to join
the family firm.
Mr. Bunting worked on the trading
floor of the Toronto Stock Exchange for two and a
half years before he returned to Alfred Bunting and
Co. By 1967 he was president. He modernized the
firm, shifting its client base from wealthy individu-
als to institutions, such as banks, pension funds and
insurance companies.
The Toronto Stock Exchange was controlled by
the brokers. Mr. Bunting became a governor of the
exchange and its chairman, a post he could hold
while still running his family firm.
In 1977 he left Alfred Bunting to become presi-
dent of the Toronto Stock Exchange, moving into
a fourth-floor office insulated from the noisy trad-
ing floor of the art deco building, which opened in
1934. He soon set about modernizing the exchange.
He brought in a system called CATS, short for Com-
puter Assisted Trading System, much to the disgust
of the floor traders he once worked alongside.
He brought in computer-aided trading and helped create
the world’s first exchange-traded fund

Weak support
for supply
management in
NAFTA talks
A new survey shows most Canadians
would accept a weakening of
protections for domestic producers
Say that supply
management
should be on the
chopping block
without any
resistance
26%
U.S. President Donald Trump has called Canada's
restrictions on dairy imports a "disgrace," raising
expectations that Canada's policy of supply man-
agement will be under pressure when formal ne-
gotiations begin later this month to update North
America's trading regime.
Current television ads from the Dairy Farmers of
Canada showing young campers enjoying ice-cream
cones on the bus and ballplayers celebrating with
postgame pints of milk are aimed at instilling warm
feelings in the hearts of Canadians when it comes to
supply management.
But a survey by the Angus
Reid Institute shows those
farmers have a lot more per-
suading to do with the general
public.
Canada's supply-manage-
ment policy – which includes
extremely high import duties
to restrict imports and tight
quotas on the amounts a farm-
er can produce – are frequently cited as an irritant
by other countries when it comes to trade. Canada
accepted some concessions in its trade deal with the
European Union that will allow for more agricultur-
al imports, but the supply-management system was
maintained.
The survey asked participants for their views on how
Canada should handle the supply-management is-
sue during the approaching NAFTA negotiations.
"If concessions are demanded at the negotiating
table, most Canadians seem quite comfortable with
the idea of at least talking about scrapping the sys-
tem," the institute states in a report. According to
the survey, just 29 per cent say they would want the
government to stand firm in negotiations and pro-
tect supply management.

Bombardier Inc. has started building
its new Global 7000 luxury jet for ini-

largely for the new Global jet – said
it is running four Global 7000 planes
through final assembly in Toronto.
At the same time, three Global 7000
jets are in flight testing, with two oth-
ers expected to join them shortly.
“The program’s development and
certificationscheduleisontrack,”Mi-
chel Ouellette, senior vice-president
in charge of the Global 7000/8000
program, said in a statement to be
released Monday. “Our confidence
level is high.” The Global 7000, which
sells for a list price of about $72-mil-
lion (U.S.), and sister 8000 aircraft
are Bombardier’s biggest business
jets. Their development is a key pillar
of the company’s turnaround plan
as chief executive Alain Bellemare
and his team aim to build a luxury-
aircraft business that will generate a
minimum 8-per-cent pretax margin
on revenue of $10-billion by 2020.
It’s not unusual for a manufacturer
to start building the first units of an
all-new aircraft for customers before
testing on the plane is complete and
it wins certification from regulatory
authorities. But Bombardier says the
build-up for the Global 7000 is hap-
pening faster than with previous air-
craft, partly because of innovations it
has introduced on the factory floor
Those include the introduction of a
special interiors test rig at a facility in
Dorval, Que. The rig is a replica of the
plane’s actual fuselage. Using data
collected from the flight-test aircraft,
the rig simulates the kind of real-
world conditions the plane will be
subject to in order to determine the
impact on the jet’s highly-custom-
ized interiors.

im Hortons plans to expand to Spain, its
fourth venture abroad in recent months,
as it tries to overcome lagging sales and an
internal revolt from franchisees in Canada.
Restaurant Brands International, the parent
company of the coffee-and-doughnut chain, said
Wednesday it has signed a deal with a joint venture
partner to set up shop in one of the largest cafe mar-
kets in Europe. Chief financial officer Josh Kobza
said Spain provides an intriguing opportunity for
RBI in its quest to be a dominant player in the global
coffee industry following forays into Mexico, Britain
and the Philippines.
"We're building a lot of momentum in the inter-
national business," Kobza said in an interview.
"Some of our other potential partners are starting
to see how well the Tims brand is resonating in oth-
er countries outside of Canada around the world."
The announcement coincided with RBI's results
that showed same-store sales at Tim Hortons, an im-
portant metric in retail measuring sales at locations
open for at least a year, fell for the second consecu-
tive quarter.

signs deal to take
Tim Hortons to Spain
That's the takeaway from a handful of recent stud-
ies, one of which warns a "day of reckoning" may be
looming, at least for those who have borrowed far
more than they should have.
This comes amid exceptionally high property val-
ues in some cities, even as prices ease somewhat in
regions such as the Toronto area, where recent pro-
vincial government measures are aimed at prevent-
ing a burst bubble.
But it also comes amid rising interest rates, which
is precisely the issue.
Let's start with prices. The latest study of afford-
ability by National Bank of Canada suggests we're
now experiencing the "least affordable market" in
nine years, based on mortgage payments as a per-
centage of income. This rose in the second quarter
of the year, meaning that, nationally, it takes 39.4
months to save for a down payment on a "represen-
tative home" at a savings rate of 10 per cent. That's
up from 35.3 months a year earlier.
"The worsening of affordability in Q2 was the
eighth in a row, the longest run in almost three de-
cades," said Matthieu Arsenau and Kyle Dahms of
National Bank.

S
till riding the momentum from
the bronze medal she won at the
2016 Games, Masse roared to vic-
tory in the 100-metre backstroke in
a world-record time Tuesday at the
world swimming championships in Buda-
pest, Hungary. In the process she became
Canada's first ever woman world champion
swimmer.
Masse powered to the wall in a time of
58.10 seconds, edging the previous long-
course backstroke record of 58.12 seconds
set by British swimmer Gemma Spofforth at
the 2009 world championships in Rome.
"I don't think it's really sunk in yet,"
Masse said in a conference call Tuesday. "I
touched the wall and looked back and had
to make sure I was looking at the right name
and the right time. I was just super excited.
In the moment I don't even know what I was
thinking but excitement and joy."
Masse is the first Canadian to hold the
100-metre long-course backstroke record
since Wendy Cook in 1974 and the first Ca-
nadian record holder in any discipline since
Annamay Pierce set the 200-metre long-
course breaststroke record in the semifinals
of the 2009 championships.
While she said she and her coaches have
been fine-tuning her technique — she men-
tioned her starts and turns as key areas of
focus — Masse is quick to credit the 2016
Olympics as a turning point. It was a mas-
sive success for Canada's women's swim
team which won six medals, including four
by Toronto teen Penny Oleksiak, and was
given The Canadian Press Team of the Year
award for 2016.

Fort McMurray
rebuilding faster
than expected,
CMHC says
Fort McMurray is rebounding more quickly than ex-
pected from the loss of 2,500 homes in a devastating
wildfire last year, with one-third of destroyed houses
now under reconstruction in the northern Alberta
city.
A new report by Canada Mortgage and Housing
Corp. says rebuilding has started on a total of 844
homes that were destroyed by fire in May, 2016, with
722 of the projects launching in the first half of 2017
and the rest launched in 2016.
The study said 99 per cent of the houses destroyed
in the fire are slated to be rebuilt, with only a small
number of sites to be left vacant to create a flood de-
fence zone.
At the current pace, the rebuilding should be com-
pleted by 2020 or 2021, said CMHC analyst Timothy
Gensey, who wrote the new report. The city will see
its highest level of housing construction starts this
year since 2009, when Fort McMurray was booming
due to high oil prices.
Fort McMurray fire: One year later, a look at a city
working to rebuild from tragedy
“Even in spite of uncertain oil prices, residents
of Fort McMurray are returning, they are rebuilding
their homes and the community remains vibrant,”
Mr. Gensey said in an interview.
Mr. Gensey said he had predicted last year that
rebuilding would take longer because many at the
time felt the city lacked the capacity to launch more
than 600 new home construction projects in one
year. But the construction push has increased more
quickly than estimated, due in part to an influx of
construction workers from other areas.
“The community has persevered and there has
been a strong push for rebuilding this year,” Mr.
Gensey said.
The building boom comes as Fort McMurray is
facing ongoing weak employment and weakness in
the resale home market due to low oil prices, which
began to fall in 2014.
Mr. Gensey said it appears most residents have
opted to rebuild rather than leave the city or move
to other areas. He said there is a risk the city’s house
supply will outstrip current demand if energy pric-
es remain low, but said reconstruction has been an
appealing option for people who want to return to
their homes and stay in their neighbourhoods.
The vacancy rate in the city’s rental market has
fallen from 29 per cent in 2015 to 18 per cent in 2016
as many displaced residents opted to rent while
waiting for their houses to be rebuilt. CMHC is fore-
casting vacancy levels will fall to 10 per cent this year
because of demand from construction workers com-
ing to the city to work on house rebuilding projects.
Mr. Gensey said he is not certain whether vacan-
cy rates will remain as relatively low in 2018 or 2019,
however, because people will begin moving back
into their rebuilt homes, freeing up rental space.
Ontario’s new energy-efficiency rules could save
homeowners money in long run

hen Ian Roland and Linda Rothstein, who
are partners in both law and marriage, de-
cided to extensively renovate their home
three years ago, they made green design a
key priority, and not just because they wanted, as Mr. Ro-
land puts it, to “leave as little footprint as possible.”
He describes their rambling old midtown house,
which they sold in 2013, as “a leaky old ship” that cost
them about $7,000 a year in electricity and gas bills.
The couple retained Toronto architect Heather Dub-
beldam to design a renovation that would be highly en-
ergy-efficient. “It’s a very tight ship,” Mr. Roland says of
their new home. Its features include superhigh velocity
cooling, low-flow plumbing, extensive insulation and
skylight that allows natural ventilation. The bottom line:
Their energy bills are less than half of what they were in
their previous dwelling.
While such projects shoot well past minimum re-
quirements, changes to the Ontario Building Code this
year will bring more energy efficiency to all new homes
as well as some renos. Ms. Dubbeldam says the 2017 revi-
sions are about 15 per cent more efficient than the previ-
ous set, adopted in 2012. They’re also more prescriptive:
The code gives designers fewer options in terms of how
to achieve those targets. Still, she adds, “it will actually
save you money in the long run.”
“We do relatively well compared to other countries,”
says Ted Kesik, a professor of building science at the Uni-
versity of Toronto’s faculty of architecture, landscape
and design. But some, he notes, especially Germany and
the Scandinavian countries, have adopted far more am-
bitious building codes, such as so-called passive-house

Rosenberg 6 Concerns about Canada in global financial markets are way overblown PAGE 9
The federal government says it is
concerned about high cellphone
prices and is ordering the tele-
com regulator to review a recent
ruling on roaming that makes it
harder for some small wireless
companies to provide inexpen-
sive service.
Innovation Minister Navdeep
Bains said on Monday he has
directed the CRTC to revisit a
March decision on how smaller
wireless companies can access
roaming services provided by the
major wireless providers, Rogers
Communications Inc., Telus
Corp. and BCE Inc.
In that ruling, the CRTC said
service providers that use WiFi as
their primary network can’t rely
on regulated rates for cellular
roaming from the Big Three to
keep their customers connected
when WiFi is not available.
The regulator said companies
that do not own airwaves or op-
erate a cellular network in a par-
ticular geographic area cannot
allow their customers to “perma-
nently roam” on the networks of
the established national carriers.
The ruling reflected the CRTC’s
policy of encouraging wireless
companies to invest in building
their own networks.
The decision, as well as a relat-
ed ruling, put a halt to a business
model used by Toronto-based
Sugar Mobile, which offered a
cheap wireless service relying pri-
marily on WiFi access. When a
cellular connection was neces-
sary, Sugar turned to a roaming
agreement that a related com-
pany had with Rogers in the
northern territories.

TELECOM REPORTER
................................................................
Toronto’s overheated housing
market has cooled rapidly since
the Ontario government
announced a suite of new hous-
ing measures in April, with aver-
age prices dropping 6 per cent in
May, while the number of homes
sold fell by 12 per cent during the
month.
The average sale price for all
types of homes in the Greater
Toronto Area was $863,910 in
May, a drop of 6.2 per cent from
$920,791 in April, according to
sales data from the Toronto Real
Estate Board (TREB). The price
was still up 15 per cent compared
with May, 2016, however, because
of large price gains earlier this
year.
The month-over-month price
decline came as more homes
were listed for sale in May, with
new listings rising 19.4 per cent to
25,837 from 21,630 in April. New
listings were up 49 per cent over
May last year. At the same time,
sales fell 12 per cent, with 10,196
homes selling in May compared
with 11,630 in April. Sales were
down 20 per cent from 12,790 in
May last year.
Realtors say the Toronto mar-
ket seems to be correcting from a
huge rate of price growth earlier
this year, but shows no signs of
sliding into a real estate crash.
“In the first quarter, the market
was not normal,” said Christo-
pher Alexander, regional director
for Ontario and Atlantic Canada
at Re/Max. “We had between
6,000 and 7,000 active listings for
a district of over five million peo-
ple, so prices were extremely
high and it was fuelled by specu-
lation, panic and low inventory.”

nalists and spiced up the event
a few years back by serving
up pisco sours, a Peruvian fav-
ourite, to celebrate an acquisi-
tion in the South American
country.
If they hold the bash this year,
a shot of Mexican tequila or a
Chilean Borgona wine punch,
with fresh strawberries, may be
required, if Scotiabank chief ex-
ecutive Brian Porter can deliver
on an acquisition-based interna-
tional growth strategy that
boasts higher potential returns
and less risk that the U.S.
expansion plans playing out at
rival Canadian banks.
Scotiabank turned in better-
than-expected financial results
last week, with quarterly profit
up 11 per cent to $2.06-billion,
in part because of of the
strength of its Latin America
operations. Mr. Porter made it
clear that his well-capitalized
bank plans to continue expand-
ing in the region, highlighting
the possibility of making acqui-
sitions over the next year in
Mexico and Chile.
Scotiabank has deep roots in
both countries; it currently
owns the seventh largest bank
in both Mexico and Chile, mea-
sured by assets. Mr. Porter said
he wants to bulk up franchises
in both countries, to increase
their profitability. The Canadian
bank has approximately 6 per
cent of the market in each
country, and last week, Scotia-
bank executives said the goal is
to increase that share to 10 per
cent or more.
As Scotiabank targets a slight-
ly smaller regional rival to hit
that 10-per-cent market-share
threshold, the Canadian bank is
working through a relatively
short list of takeover targets –
approximately a dozen banks in
both Mexico and Chile fit the
bill.

The parent of Tim Hortons,
which has faced rising pushback
from its franchisees about its
tight-fisted management style,
held its annual meeting on Mon-
day but didn’t give them a
chance to air their grievances.
Daniel Schwartz, chief execu-
tive officer of Restaurant Brands
International Inc., which
acquired Tim Hortons in late
2014, cut off the meeting when
other companies usually take
questions from the audience.
“I’m astounded,” John James
(J.J.) Hoey, a franchisee in Missis-
sauga and an organizer of the
Great White North Franchisee As-
sociation, said later. The associa-
tion was formed in March to
speak for Tim Hortons restaurant
owners and raise concerns about
the effects of RBI’s cost-cutting.
In an interview later, Mr.
Schwartz said the company is in
“constant dialogue with our res-
taurant owners. We’re always
willing to speak with them.”
