Home school issues legal challenge education

Trinity disputes government report alleging misspending Two agencies overseeing thousands of home-schooled children in Alberta are asking a court to reverse the province’s decision to pull funding and accreditation over allegations of misspending. Trinity Christian School Association and the Wisdom Home Schooling Society say in a court application that they have done nothing wrong. They say the province approved their finances for years, and the decision to pull the plug last week came with no notice and no chance to tell their side of the story. “The closure has already caused enormous stress, anxiety, hardship and uncertainty to 3,500 students and their parents,” says the application filed in Grande Prairie Court of Queen’s Bench on Tuesday. “The (closure) decision (by the province) must comply with the rule of law, including the public law principles that require public decision-makers to act fairly

and reasonably.” Trinity and Wisdom, along with some parents, are asking a Court of Queen’s Bench judge for an injunction to reverse the closure until both sides can present their cases in greater detail. The hearing is set for Friday in Grande Prairie. A spokesman for Education Minister David Eggen declined comment. “As the matter you have inquired about is before the courts, we cannot comment further,” said Jeremy Nolais in a statement Wednesday. “Our first priority continues to be assisting with families and students to make their transition to a new school authority as smooth as possible.” Nolais said 121 of the students affected have found new schooling arrangements. Trinity had been receiving more than $5 million a year from the province to administer the program. Trinity, in turn, was subcontracting the work to Wisdom, a non-profit agency run by Trinity administrator Ken Noster. On Oct. 25, Eggen cancelled accreditation and funding for Trinity and, by extension, Wisdom. He cited a government report that alleged numerous spending irregularities over the last three years. the canadian press

Real-estate agent apologizes for ad Helen Pike

Metro | Calgary November is a month to remember, but probably not for low house prices. A local real estate agent is apologizing online after an ad with his name attached appeared in a local community newsletter. The flyer appears to depict poppies adorning the tomb of the unknown solider, with a caption that read: “November is a month to remember….remember when prices were this low?” This was printed and delivered as part of the Chinook Park Kelvin Grove & Eagle Ridge Community Newsletter for November — delivered to thousands of households in the area. “That was written in error, we’ve apologized for that,” said Gary Fayerman with Re/Max First. “We made a mistake and we take full ownership of it.”

But Spencer Wallace, whose family lives a few doors down from Fayerman, isn’t sympathetic. “A war where millions of people died, essentially a whole generation of Canadians, Americans, Europeans were wiped out — like, No, that’s wrong!” said Wallace. “This is an image of a world war soldier’s helmet surrounded by poppies, that’s not an error.”

Uber readies for bylaw It could be the season to be jolly and take an Uber. Although the company is fully capable of operating under the city’s current laws, the ride-forhire giant is holding out for one large tweak in the city’s livery bylaw. Uber is gearing up for an early December launch, with a large caveat: that the City of Calgary implement bylaw changes to enable companies to foot most of administration’s costs, instead

of drivers. In late November, Calgary’s councillors will debate the licensing fee changes. These will take drivers off the hook for a $220 upfront fee and instead charge companies for a threshold of how many drivers they have working and a per-trip fee of $0.20. On Wednesday Uber sent their drivers an email, asking them to get their paperwork in order for a holiday season launch. helen pike/for metro

Despite pushback from Calgary’s chief of police, the Calgary Police Commission (CPC), and Mayor Naheed Nenshi, Coun. Diane Colley-Urquhart will continue to fight for improved workplace culture within the police force. The Calgary city councillor has been at the centre of ongoing controversy around a three-yearold CPS workplace study which called for a “thorough review” of the CPS internal structure around these issues. “I’m up for the challenge,” she said. “You know what? Sunshine is a good thing.” On Tuesday evening, ColleyUrquhart shared a proposal for discussion on Twitter that she’ll

be taking to the CPC. “Whether it’s fear of retaliation, bullying or they feel they’re being discriminated against because of their diversity, there are a lot of shared issues for the men and women,” she said. In her proposal, Colley-Urquhart said there’s opportunity for the CPC, in cooperation with the chief of police, to take immediate and positive action to improve the CPS workplace environment. Colley-Urquhart said with much finger pointing between the CPC, CPS and herself, the response can be best described as defensive rather than trans-

parent. “In addition, the focus has somehow been trained on this small group of policewomen and their concerns rather than the broad depth of the issues identified in the review,” said the proposal. “None of this is productive, nor is it likely to result in positive change.” In her proposal, Colley-Urquhart offers a few possible initiatives to help improve workplace culture at CPS, including disbanding CPS’ HR department and instead using the City of Calgary’s. “Because many of the HR decisions within the CPS contain an

operational aspect, this proposal is likely a non-starter,” reads the document. “However, that is not to say synergies between the two HR departments could not be established in order for the CPS to benefit from the experience currently existing within the city HR department and the thousands of city employees including sworn police officers and civilians working within the CPS.” Additionally, Colley-Urquhart laid out the recommendation of immediately engaging a qualified consultant to establish the position of Independent Member Advocate with a third party reporting protocol.

When Anthony Kameka chose his band name, he certainly didn’t think it would have a literal meaning to the band’s exposure. Which is why Kameka’s band Windigo — taken from an indigenous mythical prairie creature — is beginning to worry that regional exposure is all they’ll get as a result of an increased fee required to play shows in the U.S. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in order to qualify for a P-2 Visa, a sponsoring organization or employer in the U.S. must file a Form I-129 — a petition for a non-immigrant worker targeted

Proposed junk mail fine offers relief to resident

city council

New bylaw could mean fines for distributors Helen Pike

Metro | Calgary It’s an image that stays with kids, and families, but that’s what the Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform wants. On Wednesday, city councillors debated new bylaw amendments in the Community and Protective Services committee. If accepted into law by council groups like CCBR could face fines between $50 and $100 per offence if residents with “no junk mail” signs report them to the city’s bylaw officers. “It’s a vital part of our community to be able to circulate information, upcoming events, whether they’re controversial

or not,” said Cameron Côté, activism and outreach director at CCBR’s Calgary office. Côté said it would affect how

a wide variety of groups are able to communicate their message to the community because putting out advertisements in

newspapers or on television can be cost-prohibitive. The bylaw exempts community associations, and any

federal, provincial or municipal government communications. For some Calgarians the fine comes as a relief, as day home operators and parents have been calling on the city, or federal government, to act in the case of these graphic handouts. Stacey Watson has found pro-life postcards in her mailbox, thankfully before her kids got to them. And she since has had another delivery she counts herself lucky enough to have intercepted; she ran out in her socks to confront the young man who delivered that second flyer. “It’s freedom of speech, I’m a believer of freedom of speech,” Watson said. “But I do think there should be some sort of moral stance on it. I would say the bylaw doesn’t go far enough — there needs to be an acknowledgement about how hate speech (racially charged materials) is distributed.”

marijuana

Pot politics Brodie Thomas

Metro | Calgary Thinking about getting some new “houseplants” once the federal government legalizes marijuana in the spring? Think again. The city is discussing its position on pot legalization at committee Tuesday, and it’s spelled out its wish list for the feds as they wrestle with new legislation. For one thing, the city doesn’t want pot to be grown in the average household due to mould and fire risks. Administration is also discussing how to amend nuisance bylaws to deal with complaints from neighbours about second hand smoke. “This is going to be the first major strategic discussion we have on this subject,” said Ward 9 Coun. Gian-Carlo Carra. “If there are some major things coming down the political pipe, I imagine we’ll learn it (Thursday).” Carra said it looks as if the tax revenue from legal marijuana will primarily go to the provincial and federal governments, while municipalities will carry the weight when it comes to enforcement.

Treaty 7 and Métis flags raised at MRU Indigenous issues

An important step towards reconciliation, student says Karen Inhestern felt nothing but pride when she saw the Treaty 7 flag flying high at her school. As part of Indigenous Awareness Week, the Treaty 7 and Métis flags were raised and are now flying permanently alongside the Canada and Alberta flags at Mount Royal University (MRU). Inhestern, in her third year of history and Indigenous studies at MRU, attended the ceremony. She is from the Little Red River Cree Nation in Alberta. “It meant a lot to me,” Inhestern said. “We are finally seeing action being taken towards reconciliation.” Around 50 people attended the ceremony, including mem-

bers from Treaty 7, the Métis community, and non-Indigenous students and faculty. “Many people are extremely

supportive and want to know about our shared history that has, for the most part, not been taught,” Inhestern said.

Steve Kootenay-Jobin, the Indigenous housing and events coordinator with the Iniskim Centre at MRU, has been busy all week. “Seeing the flags go up was a huge step forward for me. It had me grinning from ear to ear,” he said. Indigenous Awareness Week wraps up on Nov. 5 with the 22nd annual Honouring Graduates Pow Wow. Kootenay-Jobin said for many students, the pow wow is an important cultural celebration of their achievements. “Many of these graduates are the first in their families to complete post-secondary,” he added. “For so many years Indigenous histories and cultures have almost been erased from academia. We’ve taken some big steps forward over the past few years. To have an ongoing, continuous relationship — to me, that spells out reconciliation.” Elizabeth Cameron/For Metro

Calgary education

Parents in dark about sunshine-list debate Lucie Edwardson

Metro | Calgary A Calgary parent group is weighing in on the Calgary Board of Education sunshine list debate — or lack thereof. Metro reported in October that trustee Amber Stewart brought forward the motion to discuss with the CBE board of trustees, but it didn’t get any further than that. The Calgary Association of Parents and School Councils (CAPSC) said Wednesday that the decision to have the sunshine list discussion “in the dark” was troublesome and pointed to salary increases in some head office functions that raise flags. “The reality is that every dollar that comes out of the classroom is a dollar that doesn’t directly support children and teachers,” said CAPSC spokeswoman Lisa Davis. CAPSC said increases range from 8 to 40 per cent , with the highest being 40 per cent in increase for certified teachers in human resources and 25 per cent increase for certified

teachers in learning innovations. “What we can infer from these increases is that there is a serious inability by the board of trustees to control costs at head office,” said Davis. Stewart said she’s pleased to see a parent group passionate about this issue. All agencies, boards, and commissions had until June 2016 to release their sunshine lists. School boards were excluded from this transparency requirement. CAPSC said school boards should be held to the highest standards of transparency and accountability. “Ultimately it affects children,” said Davis. Metro reached out to CBE board chair Joy Bowen-Eyre but did not receive a response by print deadline, however a statement from Brad Grundy, the CBE’s chief financial officer, was provided by email. “It’s unfortunate that the analysis done by CAPSC is grossly inaccurate,” he said. “It’s absurd to imply that a certificated teacher, under a collective agreement, would receive a 40 per cent raise.

Surf is up at CUFFS.Docs annual festival

The sensation is very similar to surfing in the ocean.

Aaron Chatha

Desiree Bilon, on riding river waves in Kananaskis

Metro | Calgary This year’s Calgary’s documentary film festival, CUFF. Docs, is getting a little wet and wild. The lineup, unveiled this week, includes a screening of Gaza Surf Club, which will open with a short documentary by Calgarian Desiree Bilon called Surf Anywhere. Bilon chronicled the efforts of Alberta group Surf Anywhere as they created river surfing waves in Kananaskis. The technology they used could then be replicated in other land-locked areas of the world, truly allowing athletes to surf anywhere. Essentially, a dam is opened and water flows over a drop. A hole has been created at the base of the drop, creating surf-able waves when the water hits.

Surf Anywhere follows a group trying to create waves in land-locked Alberta. Courtesy Robert Bishop

“You’re not actually travelling with the wave, you’re doing the travelling on the face of the wave,” explained Bilon. “At first it was a strange concept — even though you’re travelling on the face of the

wave, you’re not travelling towards anything. You’re just in the same place. But the sensation is very similar to surfing in the ocean.” The project came at the right time for Bilon — the

former competitive surfer suffered a serious leg injured, and had moved back to Calgary to undergo physiotherapy. Just as her body was ready to get back into the surfing

world, she heard of this project, and decided it was worth documenting. It’s a natural fit to screen before Gaza Surf Club, which follows the surfers of Gaza battling waves despite war and strict sanctions on surfboards. Another Calgary-related project featured at CUFF.Docs is a short documentary about the 2015 Stampede. National and international documentaries include 24X36, a doc about movie posters; We Are X, which chronicles the career of a Japanese rock band; and The Last Lab, which explores taboo joke subjects, such as the Holocaust. CUFF.Docs runs from Nov. 17 to 20. For more information, visit www.calgaryundergroundfilm.org.

Searchers honoured through Instagram documentary

Project follows people who hunt for the disappeared Jessica Botelho-Urbanski For Metro | Winnipeg

An Instagram storytelling project is finding beauty among the tragic stories of Winnipeg search and rescue efforts. As a companion to a new National Film Board-sponsored documentary called This River, producers Katherena Vermette and Alicia Smith set out to tell the stories of those who comb Winnipeg’s nooks and crannies, looking vigilantly for missing loved ones. Members of the Bear Clan Patrol, who search by foot, and Drag the Red, who search along the rivers, are featured in a series of more than 80 photos and interviews, rolled out over two months on the Instagram page @WhatBringsUsHere. “We really worked to take people inside kind of the very human experience of what it’s like to have a missing family member and then the work that’s born out of that — that sort of intense motivation for the need to just do something,” said Smith, a Winnipeg-based

National Film Board producer. The photos, shot by Winnipeg’s Janine Kropla, Mark Reimer and Karen Asher, alternate between depicting searchers in action and posing for portraits, paired with captions describing why they’re motivated to keep looking for answers. Kyle Kematch, one of the lead organizers of Drag the Red, is featured in the documentary and Instagram series. He admits he doesn’t like sharing his per-

sonal story about his missing sister Amber Guiboche repeatedly —Guiboche went missing in November 2010 — but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep her name top of mind. “I don’t like talking to the media or anything like that. I do it for Amber. We have to get her name out there and that’s all I really can do,” Kematch said. A screening of This River is happening Saturday at 4 p.m. at Cinematheque.

Police catch up to Groups in dark on pet pig on the run Yazidi resettlement Haley Ryan

Metro | Halifax Maybe he just wanted to dance. On Tuesday, Halifax Regional Police officers helped Kevin Bacon, a potbellied pig, find his way back to his owner in Dartmouth after he got a little footloose and strayed from home. According to a social media post, two officers were called

Kevin Bacon. Contributed

to Russell Street, where they found and returned Mr. Bacon safely to his owner who lived in the area. “He was not in any danger because he abided by the rules of the road and stayed on the sidewalk,” police spokeswoman Const. Dianne Woodworth said Wednesday. Woodworth added Mr. Bacon wasn’t running for his life away from a farm as “he’s a domestic pig, and he’s okay with that.” The responding officers didn’t have a hard time rounding him up either, Woodworth said, as “he’s obviously a very friendly pig.” “He was just out checking out things. He didn’t think he was doing anything wrong, which he wasn’t. He just wasn’t attended by anybody,” Woodworth said.

More than a week after Ottawa announced it would bring in Yazidi refugees within four months, the community and its supporters are still waiting for details of Canada’s resettlement plan. “After a long period of silence, we were happy to see the Canadian government taking action. But they are keeping us in the dark,” said Majed El Shafie, founder of Toronto’s One Free World International, which has 300 aid workers in Iraq and Syria assisting Yazidi refugees. “The government needs to be open and honest about how many they are bringing in, what the process is (for) choosing the refugees and how they are going to resettle them in Canada.” El Shafie, who came to Canada as a refugee from Egypt in 2002, was among 11 community groups and leaders who held a

news conference Wednesday calling on the government to provide concrete targets and a timeline of its plan. “I hope our Canadian government does not make the same mistakes where the real victims are ignored and others benefit instead due to political interests,” said Mirza Ismail, founder and chairman of Yezidi Human Rights International. The Yazidis are a religious minority from northern Iraq and have been targeted by Daesh militants with rape, torture and murder. There are tens of thousands of Yazidis displaced as a result of persecution in Iraq and Syria. El Shafie said the coalition is happy to work with officials in screening and preparing the application referrals with help from their aid workers on the ground. Torstar News Service

nicaragua

President’s wife behind popularity On bright-pink billboards across the Nicaraguan capital, President Daniel Ortega looms triumphantly over motorists ahead of next Sunday’s vote, where he’s considered a shooin. He’s almost never alone in those ads: Accompanying Ortega is the smiling visage of his first lady, spokeswoman and now running mate, Rosario Murillo. “That woman is the one who rules in the country,” said fruit vendor Roberto Mayorga. “If ‘the man’ dies, she’ll be there.” Murillo is beloved by many poor Nicaraguans and Sandinista faithful, consistently

polling around 70 per cent approval. When the government makes public announcements, they usually come in Murillo’s voice. She has represented Ortega overseas and spearheaded the installation of giant metal “trees of life” sculptures in the capital, a beautification campaign that opponents have criticized as costly but which many residents appreciate. “She’s become really the public face of the administration, and I think that’s helped her popularity immensely,” said Christine Wade, a political scientist at Washington College in Maryland. the associated press

American Muslims cringing at portrayal U.S. ELECTION

Many feel like they’re being pigeonholed by both candidates Many Muslim Americans cringe at the way they have been portrayed by candidates during the presidential campaign — either as potential terrorists or helping counterterrorism efforts. Those descriptions, offered by Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, respectively, are troubling to Muslims who complain they are being pigeonholed and their concerns on other issues ignored. “I think that there is some

level of dismissiveness about Arab-Americans and American Muslims that allows candidates to talk about us, not really to us,” said Omar Baddar, a political analyst and media producer based in Washington. Chaumtoli Huq, a lawyer from the New York City suburb of Yonkers, agreed: “We’re not able to talk about issues that impact us as citizens — education, jobs, things that any other voter would care about,” she said. “It’s a really demoralizing way to be seen to be part of this country.” One of the campaign’s more memorable moments for Muslim Americans unfolded at the Democratic National Convention in July, when a grieving Khizr Khan addressed delegates about his son, Humayun, an American soldier who was killed in Iraq.

I think that there is some level of dismissiveness. Omar Baddar

The GOP candidate soon pushed back against Khan’s anti-Trump comments, setting up an episode in which a presidential nominee criticized a military family that lost a loved one in a war zone. In the second presidential debate in St. Louis, Trump answered a question about how to stop Islamophobia in America by saying American Muslims must report other Muslims who are engaging in dangerous behaviour. That led to a widely retweeted comment from Brooklyn College

professor Moustafa Bayoumi, who posted, “I’m a Muslim, and I would like to report a crazy man threatening a woman on a stage in Missouri.” By the time the debate ended, his retort had been retweeted 32,000 times. But Hillary Clinton did not escape censure from Muslim Americans, who said that the Democratic nominee’s public remarks have primarily revolved around recognizing them for what they could do to support counterterrorism efforts. Nour Eidy, a freshman at the University of Michigan, grew up in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, which is heavily Arab and Muslim: “I don’t know anything about terrorism. I don’t know their game plans, their strategies,” she said. “We’re just as victimized by them as anybody else.” the associated press

The underage migrants climbed into to 38 buses in a day-long operation that began just under a week after adult migrants were cleared out of the camp known as “the jungle” and sent to refugee centres around France.

Business metroexplains

The impact of that boring bank news One of Canada’s biggest banks, TD Canada Trust, is hiking its prime rate for variable-rate mortgages 0.15 points to 2.85 per cent from 2.7. Your eyes may have just glazed over, but this is actually kind of a big deal. may warren/metro, with files from the canadian press Wait, I have that kind of mortgage with TD:

What about my line of credit and visa bill?

If your monthly mortgage payment stays the same, these changes mean more of the payment will go towards paying interest, instead of paying down the principle, meaning it will take you longer to pay off your mortgage, according to TD.

The changes do not affect interest rates for lines of credit or credit cards.

“Mechanically you’re not paying more, but you’re getting less from the payments that you make,” said William Strange, a professor of business economics at U of T’s Rotman School of Management. What if I have a mortgage not with TD? A bank as big as TD changing its rate could mean other major Canadian banks follow suit soon, Laird said. In his eight years in the industry, Laird said he’s never seen major lenders have their prime rates different for more than a couple of days.

But I got the fixed rate: Your interest rate is the same. But James Laird, president of mortgage company CanWise Financial and co-founder of rate-watching website RateHub.ca, said he’ll be watching it closely to see if it goes up in the near future. What’s the broader impact? When mortgages rates go up, “usually the story” is that it depresses housing demand because it’s harder for people to get financing and bid quite as much for houses, said Strange, the U of T professor. “But this is unusual in the sense they’ve been really low for a really long time.”

Starbucks

Green cups brewing up plenty of online outrage Irene Kuan

Metro | Toronto It’s that time again, when Starbucks brings back its traditional holiday drinks. This year, the company released a limited-edition green cup, not meant to be a Christmas cup but a “community cup,” which seems to have offended some people. In a press release, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz calls it “a divisive time in our country” and says the coffee giant wanted to come up with a symbol to serve “as a reminder of our shared values.”

The green cup seems to have sparked some negative reactions on social media. Some people were simply upset the cup wasn’t red or festive feeling enough, while others accused the company of politicizing coffee. This is not the first time the Starbucks has been embroiled in a cup controversy. The redesign of its red cups in 2015, which omitted all “symbols of the

season,” had some calling out the company for “waging a war on Christmas.” Starbucks released the cup just one week before the U.S. election, and says it is meant to be a “symbol of unity.” The design, which features a mosaic of more than 100 people, including a barista and a farmer, was created by artist Shogo Ota and is currently available at U.S. locations.

VICKY MOCHAMA on AN overlooked ELECTION battle

There’s a big ideological divide that has yet to be talked about: Scorpio vs. Gemini. With some voters undecided, why not consult the stars? Great forces are battling each other this election season: Republican against Democrat, billionaire against millionaire, Darth Vader vs. Princess Leia. Polls give Clinton a comfortable lead but the race may yet tighten. As Americans make their big decision, there’s a big ideological divide that has yet to be talked about: Scorpio vs. Gemini. A lot has been said about the clash of these titans but until now, this essential difference has been missed. With some voters still undecided, why not consult the stars? For some, politics is like the Superbowl: It’s a thing that happens on one day and you don’t have to pick a team until then. According to the New York Times (a Virgo), Trump is status-obsessed, scattered and volatile. In other words, he’s a classic Gemini. Game recognize game. I know a fellow Gemini when I see one. Trump was born in the middle of the Gemini star sign on June 14, 1946.

If Clinton wins, it will be a historic moment: Not only would she be the first female president, but a Scorpio hasn’t had their claws in the Oval Office since Warren G. Harding nearly a hundred years ago.

What the horoscopes have in store for Nov. 8 When it feels as if nothing makes sense anymore — U.S. politics anyone? — many people look to the divine and the celestial for guidance. Metro asked astrologist Julie Simmons to read her star chart and tell us what the stars, sun and planets predict about what kind of day Hillary Clinton (a Scorpio) and Donald Trump (a Gemini) will have on Tuesday — Election Day. We’re also printing an advance peek at our own Tuesday horoscopes by Francis Drake. Take from them what you will.

Julie Simmons (juliesimmons.ca) CLINTON HOROSCOPE Hillary is very Scorpio. She has what astrologers called fixed energy. She digs in, she’s hard to overthrow, she’s resolute. But she’s very, very power-oriented. Coming up in December-January, Saturn will be squaring Hillary’s moon. That means she’s depleted and tired. It’s not the aspect of a win. Now, she’s no slouch. She’s got a very powerful chart. A Scorpio is always good at reconstruction. Interestingly, neither of them has any earth in their chart. Earth is the element of being practical and down-to-earth.

TRUMP HOROSCOPE He’s a Gemini. He’s a trickster. He doesn’t seem to mean anything he says. Jupiter is the planet of luck. And when Trump was born he had Jupiter shining his sun. That’s a good position. It means he projects himself and gets people to listen, even though he’s speaking out of both sides of his mouth. He has charisma. He gets away with it. And Jupiter up in the sky (now) is in that place, where Trump gets away with it. But if he wins, he will go through a tremendous amount of difficulty.

BOTTOM LINE: It’s hard, astrologically, to look at this election, because my personal wish is stronger than usual. Trump really scares me. However, if I just look at the astrological chart, Trump looks more like a winner. Simmons’ chart

Metro’s Francis Drake Ani castillo/for metro

Geminis have many excellent traits: We are energetic, imaginative, clever, and witty. For example, remember when Donald Trump joked Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever” after she moderated one of last year’s 70,000 Republican debates? Remember how deeply you laughed at his cleverness and wit? We Geminis are often very humorous. Still, Geminis like Trump and I are not without faults. We’re often impulsive. I recently booked a tropical vacation because I was tired and it seemed like a good idea, I guess. Similarly, Donald Trump seems to have decided to run for president because

a reporter from BuzzFeed goaded him into it. We both had good ideas. With her resourcefulness, secretiveness and giant pincer claws, Clinton is a true Scorpio. The Llewellyn Encyclopedia, a compendium of all things New Age, says the biggest problem for Scorpios is their “ability to cause trouble.” Secretary Clinton must regret ever learning to press “send” on an email. It’s been downhill ever since. Clinton has explained her cautious public persona is a result of being a woman breaking down the walls of a man’s world. But a quick glance at the night sky shows that actually,

Scorpios are secretive and reserved, which is definitely more plausible. If Clinton wins, it will be a historic moment: Not only would she be the first female president, but a Scorpio hasn’t had their claws in the Oval Office since Warren G. Harding nearly a hundred years ago. The skies have always played an important role in presidential elections, despite what the experts, statistics and plain common sense might say. After all, the zodiac sign to win the most elections is pleasant, humanitarian Aquarius, which includes Abraham Lincoln. And he kept the country together. It’s all in the stars.

CLINTON HOROSCOPE With the Sun in your sign now, you are blessed. People and favorable situations will come to you. It’s your turn to replenish yourself for the year!

TRUMP HOROSCOPE Respect your desire to get better organized. Act on this impulse. Make a to-do list of everything you want to do so that you are more effective, efficient and productive. Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

Power of the pantsuits A secret Facebook group has become a place for female Clinton supporters who plan to wear the classic ensemble as they cast their ballots.

U.S. ELECTION Wanyee Li Metro Vancouver

May Warren Metro Toronto

Tracey plans to wear a classic black one from the back of her closet, Cindy a blue favourite, and Lauren a grey number with blue pinstripes. The Canadian women are part of a North-American wide movement called “pantsuit day,” women connected by a secret Facebook group, who plan to don the classic uniform of Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8 in a quiet show of solidarity with her.

Burnaby, B.C. resident and American citizen Marie Cardona says she plans to wear a pantsuit on election day. “The whole pantsuit, obviously, is a nudge to the idea of Hillary wearing pantsuits all the time, which she does,” said the environmental engineer, who moved to B.C. from California four years ago. Cardona says she joined a splinter Facebook group called Canadian Pantsuit Day for Hillary Nov 8th Nationwide because the private group is a safe venue to show support for the Democratic presidential candidate. “It’s just a safe place to discuss your ideas without trolls coming in and ruining things for you.”

Ineed:

She mailed in her ballot Tuesday night and plans to spend election day with family and friends in Los Angeles. “Sometimes I think I might faint with anxiety. It feels like it has been like the longest year ever,” she said. Toronto’s Tracey Nolan plans to dress her six-yearold daughter in a pantsuit, in a “power colour” like red, if she can find it. “I just thought ‘let’s do it, let’s pantsuit it up,’ she told Metro. As a “global citizen” she’s been following the election closely, and sees the movement as “reclaiming” the pantsuit, often not con sidered the most high fash-

ion of outfits.“It’s utilitarian, it gets the job done, it’s sort of all the things people say about Hillary in a negative way,” Nolan said. Cindy Perry, a dual citizen who has lived in Toronto for the past eight years, said she sees the pantsuit as a “symbol of the progress” women have made. For Lauren Hay, an American citizen who has lived in Toronto since 2009, it’s about celebrating the fact that Clinton will be the first woman president, in addition to all of the other qualities that make her qualified for the role. The Canadian Facebook group’s creator, Marly Weitzke, says she got the idea

from the American version, called National Pantsuit Day — Nov. 8. It’s an easy way for Canadians to participate on election night, said the Comox, B.C. resident. “It’s a celebration, using the pantsuit metaphor in support of Americans.” The pantsuit has long been a “power symbol” of women engaging with the “public realm” of work and politics said Henry Navarro Delgado, an assistant professor at Ryerson University’s school of fashion. But not all women see it, or Clinton, as representing feminism, he noted, particularly younger ones. “That’s also something that has played out in the

election itself because some people see her on the one hand as a progressive figure in this sense, but also as a conservative figure in her political outlook, Navarro Delgado said. But for some baby boomers, the pantsuit is as much a symbol of empowerment as it is a sign of solidarity, said Weitzke. “I grew up in Ontario where I had an older brother and when he went to school, he came back and said girls cannot wear pants to school and they have to wear skirts,” she said. “But by the time I started high school in 1971, at least that part had changed. We could wear pants.”

Books

reads about the lives of modern women

These new books consider questions of gender and women’s role in society today, including essays, a memoir and a historical novel. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Justice

History Therese Oneill, an Oregon journalist who specializes in “rarehistory,” begins our tour of the fetid conditions under which Victorian women suffered by cautioning that, “Most of the things you love about the 19th century aren’t real, child. They’re the curations of gracious hosts who tidy up the era whenever you visit through art, books, or film.” Yes, we all know that a woman’s lot in earlier times was a difficult one — but with Oneill as our guide in Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady’s Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners we get an unvarnished glimpse of its deep nastiness.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has spent more than half a century as an advocate for women’s equality. This collection of her writing spans that luminous career, beginning with a Grade 8 editorial in 1946 praising the charter of the United Nations, and covering a variety of issues and interests with wisdom and clarity. Rest assured, this is no dusty old collection of judicial pontificating. Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams, who edited My Own Words, are collaborating on the authorized biography of Ginsburg.

Feminism Erin Wunker’s first book is a useful navigational tool even for those steeped in the precepts of women’s studies. Her Notes from a Feminist Killjoy represents a smorgasbord of reflection: at one point, she defends her “bitchy resting face”; at another, she offers a checklist to discover whether the reader is indeed a feminist. “Feminist killjoy,” incidentally, is a term used by the scholar Sara Ahmed, which Wunker defines as “that irreverent figure who lights a match and joyfully flicks it into the dry hull of patriarchal culture.”

Young adult

Life writing Michelle Tea begins her latest entry into “life writing”, Blackwave, in San Francisco’s Mission district. The year is 1999, and our central character, Michelle, too often strung out on drugs, drink and a life that is annoying even her, decides to head to Los Angeles to write a screenplay. Tea’s voice is smart and cocky, and if you’re looking for an immersive “queer feminist” take on the world this may be it. Tea’s latest dip into autobiographical fiction is published by the Feminist Press at the City University of New York.

Good Girls by Shalta Dicaire Fardin and Sarah Sahagian is the first novel in Torontobased Inanna Publications’ young feminist series. At the centre of the story are Allie, a high-achieving goody two shoes, and Octavia, a wealthy wild child from Montreal. These two opposites end up as debate-team partners at the elite Anne Bradstreet College in Boston. Together, the girls learn important lessons about living a balanced life. Both authors have been involved in gender studies, at Queen’s and York, respectively.

Memoir

Dallaire’s memoir reveals horrors of enduring PTSD The nights are the worst. The darkness. The silence. The ghostly images of the dead and dying that refuse to be laid to rest. More than two decades after former lieutenant-general Romeo Dallaire returned to Canada from Rwanda, where he and the small peacekeeping contingent he commanded were forced to stand by as helpless witnesses to a genocide that ended

with the slaughter of hundreds of thousands, he is still struggling to overcome the demon that is post-traumatic stress disorder. In his new book, Waiting for First Light, Dallaire describes what it means to live with PTSD, a psychological injury as old as war itself, but one only recently recognized as an all-too-common hazard for soldiers, first responders and victims of physical or

sexual abuse. It is a wound the retired senator wants Canadians to more fully understand through his memoir, which he also hopes will offer solace and support to others wrestling with the condition. The condition is marked by recurrent memories of the event, flashbacks, nightmares and severe emotional distress or physical reactions to triggers that remind the person of the

trauma. Those affected can feel hopelessness and despair, exhibit turbulent mood swings, and engage in self-destructive behaviours like drinking to excess or driving too fast. “You live with a constant sense of vulnerability because you never know when a conversation, a smell, a noise, a bad day, how it can generate a mood that will be quite depressive, and as

such will lead you into some reliving (of the trauma),” Dallaire, 70, said in an interview. “And you can be just as affected now as you were after the event.” That vulnerability is especially acute at night, he explained, when his mind is tortured by vivid memories of rape, mutilation and murder that come unbidden in the darkness; when

Questioning ‘the right to write about racism’ fiction

Jodi Picoult stands behind pushing more racial dialogue Sue Carter

For Metro Canada

If there’s one word to describe author Jodi Picoult, it’s fierce. The bestselling author of 23 books has never been one to shy away from hot-button topics such as sexual abuse, school shootings and assisted suicide. But there was one issue that eluded Picoult for 25 years. How do you talk about racism in a world seemingly just waking up to the fact that privilege and opportunity are connected to skin colour? And whose story is it to tell? That’s the challenge behind Picoult’s new novel, Small Great Things. Picoult’s books always start

with the issue at hand, what she refers to as “the thing that keeps me up at night.” Her first attempt at writing on racism was inspired by a news piece about an African American undercover cop who was shot by a white co-worker. “I totally failed. I couldn’t write authentic characters or voice,” she says. Picoult began doubting whether this was even her story to tell in the first place. “Do I really have the right to write about racism? ” It wasn’t until 2012, when Picoult read a story about an African American nurse who was told by her hospital administration that she could not care for a newborn baby at the request of the child’s white-supremacist parents, that she found her way in. She imagined an emergency situation in which the nurse would be forced to take care of the child, which would lead to an arrest. Small Great Things unravels the courtroom story from three perspectives: Ruth, the accused nurse;

Turk, a staunch white supremacist; and Kennedy, a public defender who has her own complicated personal response to the scenario. Picoult spent three years with “sensitivity readers”. “I should not and would not have written the book without women of colour guiding me,” Picoult said. She met with two former white supremacists to better understand Turk, who she

calls the most challenging character. Most importantly, Picoult realized to whom she needed to address her novel. “I was writing to people who look like me. I know how easy it is to point to a skinhead and say, ‘that’s a racist,’ rather than point to yourself,” she says. “I want people to tap into the privilege that they’ve had, and force them to admit

the fact that racism isn’t just about prejudice. You could take every skinhead and ship them off to Mars and you’d still have racism, because it’s about power.” Picoult knows now that Small Great Things is out in the world she can’t control the rhetoric surrounding it (she’s already received harassing tweets from white supremacists). But she holds strong in

her conviction that more dialogue is the only way to move forward. “I think that one of the biggest hurdles we have to face is that we will make mistakes when we talk about race. It’s more important to talk about it and know that, and say, ‘I’m so sorry. Thanks for educating me.’” Sue Carter is the editor at Quill & Quire magazine.

Courage of airmen shines in war comic Mike Donachie

Metro | Canada Dreaming Eagles BY: Garth Ennis and Simon Coleby PUBLISHER: Aftershock Comics

The Nazis were the enemy, but their own side wasn’t too friendly either. This is the story of the Tuskegee Airmen who fought the Luftwaffe in the air and prejudice on the ground during the Second World War. Written by war comics maestro Ennis and drawn by vastly-underrated artist Coleby, it’s fictionalized but inspired by the true events that saw the courage of these airmen shine through in frustrating, unjust circumstances. And it uses an interesting idea to get its points across: the story is framed by 1960s sequence in which a father tells his son, for the first time, about his experiences in the war as a black fighter pilot. But the dad is doing it in an attempt to discourage

his son from getting into trouble as a follower of Dr. Martin Luther King. There are tough moral questions and conflicting loyalties throughout this story, plus a ton of excitement, adventure and tragedy. It doesn’t let up, and it doesn’t disappoint.

Books BOOK BRIEF Charlamagne tha God has book coming next spring After interviewing Hillary Clinton, Kanye West and Jay Z, among others, Charlamagne tha God is ready for something really challenging: writing a book. The ever-raw television personality and co-host of the syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club” has a deal with Simon & Schuster imprint Touchstone for “Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It.” The book is scheduled for next spring, the publisher told The Associated Press on Tuesday. With “brutally honest insights,” Charlamagne plans to recount his rise from a dirt road in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, to national fame through radio and MTV. Charlamagne said in a statement that as an English teacher’s son he had always loved books and working on a book himself was a “dream fulfilled.” the associated press

Funny is in the delivery THE SHOW: Tracey Ullman’s Show, Season 1, Episode 2 THE MOMENT: The tour guide

“We believe that a middle-aged Henry got to know a young Anne Boleyn on this very bed,” an historic-home guide (Tracey Ullman) tells visitors. “He’d have had little trouble finding female company on those long nights away at the conference.” The visitors glance at one another. The guide winces but soldiers on: “It wasn’t until 1532 that Henry was able to divorce his fiercely loyal but age appropriate wife. It’s unlikely she ever got the whole truth. But if it was just business, why was the wine marked ‘room service?’” “Did they marry?” a visitor asks. “Yes,” the guide answers. “Even those who expressed their disapproval quickly swapped their allegiance for that little sl—.” She stops herself, barely. “Wasn’t Anne—,” begins a guest. “Beheaded! Lopped clean off !” the guide roars. “That would teach her, wouldn’t it?” She turns to exit the room. “Let’s move on, shall we? Let’s just try to move on.”

Tracey Ullman takes on a number of characters in her new television show. contributed

Ullman is back in fine form with this sketch show, which intersperses recurring characters with one-offs like this. The sketches are unevenly funny, but they’re fascinating, thanks to Ullman’s acute observations of the way people like this guide speak and move, and the soft spots they’re unaware of that make them who they are. She has especial fun with Judi Dench, who uses her “national

treasure” status to vandalize her way around London; and Angela Merkel. “Don’t make the hair too poufy,” her Merkel intones in a flat German ak-zent, “or the other leaders will be wild with lust.” Johanna Schneller is a media connoisseur who zeroes in on pop-culture moments. She appears Monday through Thursday.

‘I’m controlling this one’ interview

Singer opens up about anxiety, eating disorder, 1D juggernaut Since he left One Direction, Zayn Malik has been public with his battle with anxiety. But the singer also says he was struggling with even more behindthe-scenes — a possible eating disorder. Malik made the revelation in his new autobiography Zayn, out Tuesday via Penguin Random House, and also discussed it in an interview with The Associated Press. “When I look back at the images of myself from around November 2014, before the final tour, I can see how ill I was,” the 23-year-old writes in the book, calling it an “eating disorder.” In an interview Friday, Malik explained that he was so busy on the road, he would forget to eat. “I realized that I wasn’t eating as much ... our schedule was kind of crazy so we were all over the place,” he said. “It was just more down to losing track of, you know, actually eating and being super busy and getting caught up with other things that 17 or 18-yearolds do, which normally entails them going out, drinking or partying, so it was a mixture of everything,” he said. However, looking back on it now, he now downplays the seriousness of it all: “I don’t think I ever had an eating disorder. I was never diagnosed with one of them.” Explaining that he would miss meals while in 1D, he now is better managing his eating: “I’m a bit older and a bit more wiser.” In the book, his prologue is dedicated to 1D and the phenomenal success the group achieved in a short time — selling out

stadiums, winning countless awards, releasing back-to-back hits and platinum-plus albums. “I’m massively grateful for the opportunity to be in that group,” he said of the pop group, formed in 2010 on The X Factor in the United Kingdom. “It was a wicked part of my life.” Still, he bolted from the group because he felt lost and needed time to collect his thoughts. He yearned to sing songs in a different style and write his own lyrics. “What you’ve got to understand is that none of us really had much say in the music,” he writes.

When asked if he’s still friends with his former band mates, he told the AP: “Yeah we’re talking — some of us are.” Has he heard Niall Horan’s solo single? “I have, yes,” he said. “Yeah, it’s cool.” Malik’s solo album, Mind of Mine, bowed earlier this year and veered into more R&B territory. It debuted at No. 1, but Malik wasn’t prepared for solo stardom, even cancelling performances because he said he was too anxious. In June, he bowed out of his performance at the Capital Summertime Ball in London at the Wembley Arena,

where he previously performed with 1D. “I felt sick. I couldn’t breathe,” he writes about the morning of the show. “The idea totally freaked me out and I was paralyzed with anxiety.” Malik said he now is able to cope with it, though he declined to offer specifics to the AP. “I don’t really disclose that information, like publicly, what I do to manage certain things, but I do the things that are required,” he said. While he details some of his difficulties in the book, don’t expect a juicy tell-all: he rarely

mentions former fiancé, Little Mix member Perrie Edwards, and doesn’t talk about current girlfriend Gigi Hadid. Still, there are some insights for Malik fans: He writes that if he wasn’t a singer, he would have probably gone to college to study English or worked as a songwriter and producer for other artists. As he reflected on his time in 1D and leaving the group, then releasing his own album and No. 1 hit, Pillowtalk, Malik said he’s happy. “I’m great actually at t h e m o m e n t ,” h e s a i d

from a studio in Los Angeles, where he’s recording his second solo album. “The anxiety obviously came from just the performance aspect of things, just not really understanding what that was going to be like as a solo performer.” He also felt that being in 1D was a juggernaut he couldn’t quite handle. “That machine was already going, it was at 100 miles per hour and it was harder to get off that machine,” he said. “I’m controlling this one.” the associated press

Moving your winter harvest indoors gardening

Lettuces, herbs, leafy greens among easiest to grow inside There’s no reason to stop growing vegetables just because cold weather has arrived. Sunloving edibles can be cultivated indoors in containers enriched by supplemental LED lights. But choose the right plant combinations for this four-season gardening. Some plants are more demanding than others. “The amount of money and work it takes depends upon your expectations,” said Tuan Bettes, a horticulture agent with Utah State University Extension. “You won’t achieve (indoors) what you would in sunlight.” Lettuces, leafy greens, sprouted seeds, radishes, carrots and herbs are among the easiest plants to grow indoors in winter. They tolerate cooler temperatures and limited light. They also mature quickly, and many, like chives and

parsley, don’t grow tall. Small fruited or dwarf varieties of tomatoes and peppers also will produce in basement gardens when exposed to the proper lighting. Be prepared to help pollinate your tomato plants, though. Shake them occasionally to release the pol-

len. Help avoid plant pests by segregating vegetable containers from houseplants. “Never put patio plants next to vegetables,” Bettes said. “That’s a good way to introduce aphids and scale insects.” Many people take the hydroponic approach to indoor

gardening by designing their own systems or by buying any number of high-tech soil-free containers with full-spectrum grow lights attached. Plants grow naturally and faster — up to five times faster — in the ideal climate created by water reservoirs and

LED lighting systems, said Ben Gill, a spokesman for AeroGro International Inc., manufacturers of a line of indoor gardens in Boulder, Colorado. “There’s no dirt,” Gill said. “That makes it a clean way to grow on benches or countertops.”

Many of these small hydroponic growing kits can be had in a single package: container, lights, nutrients and pre-seeded plant pods. “They’re one-stop shopping,” Gill said. “Just add water and you’ve got everything you need to start.” LED grow lighting has come a long way in a short time. “They’ve quickly become our bestselling items,” Gill said. “They take less energy to run, grow plants better and you don’t have to change them (lights) as frequently — once every three to five years instead of every three to five months.” Some hydro kits are designed to mix the LED light spectrum to fit growing conditions. That means using daylight white LEDs for fast growth, blue LEDs for larger yields and red LEDs for more fruit or flowers. “You can literally start a Christmas tree — a 16-inch spruce — in your AeroKit and then transplant it,” Gill said. “You can start your outdoor garden indoors and extend your growing seasons.” the associated press

Blending classics with the modern decor

Forget matched sets, the new ‘traditional’ is contemporary In decor, “traditional” tends to conjure up images of matched furniture sets, prim patterns and buttoned-up formality. But there’s been a revamp, and what’s now being called “new traditional” is a fresher, freer look that honours the classics. The style blends traditional architectural and decorative elements with contemporary ones for unexpected, sometimes edgy results. “It’s all about balance,” said New York interior designer Alexa Hampton. She said the trend started in Europe, where older residences “are often filled with ornate architecture: herringbone floors, intricate plaster work, French doors. With heavy decoration, these architectural bones can seem fussy.” That led to an “undecorated” movement — white walls, furniture with sharp angles, minimalism. “I think this foil of old and new is essential to good design,” she said. “The conversation between modern and classic creates a tension, and when done right, it’s very powerful.” Moldings, shelving and good hardware can give a space a traditional or contemporary “frame” to which contrasting

elements can be added. “If my architecture’s very traditional,” said Hampton, “I might do an unexpected wall treatment like high-gloss lacquer.” Likewise with furniture and accessories, “It’s nice to combine a more curved traditional piece with a sexy and sleek cocktail table.” The European Fine Art Fair, the art and antiquities version of Fashion Week, was held in New York in October, and Hampton saw pieces she said could be incorporated into a contemporary space. A bold, Grecian, gold-andblack amphora, for instance, caught her eye; although it’s an ornate piece, it could play up the drama in a small space, particularly atop a modern table. San Francisco interior stylist Jessica Sutton suggests using a neutral colour palette and incorporating a mix of rustic, contemporary, even industrial pieces to bring the New Traditional look home. “Keep the style fresh by incorporating classic patterns like florals in modern ways — an abstract rug, or an upholstered pillow,” she said. Retailers are featuring the look this season. French designer Bina Baitel has used the classic mouldings of Paris’ Haussmann architecture as inspiration for cabinet doors, but tilted the motifs to create the visually striking Astragale armoire and console. Bernhardt’s Salon collection includes a traditional etagere

given an alabaster finish, and a curvy nightstand clad in silver leaf. The Haven collection pares down traditional English classics like wingchairs and dining tables to their essential forms. British designer Andrew Martin has a collection of wingback chairs upholstered in combinations of leather and ticking, or leather with a pieced metal frame. A lounge chair pairs a distressed leather seat with a kilim-clad frame. Mixing materials brings the traditional chair shapes fashion-forward. Audrey Sterk, a designer on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, presents a fresh take on early American quilt florals and 19th century silk-screen patterns in her wallpaper and fabrics, editing the motifs to their essential elements and using a contemporary colour palette. At Candelabra, the classic silhouette of a Louis XVI chair is cast in silver- or gold-toned stainless steel and given elongated legs, creating a sleek barstool. Curvy, polished silver legs and an especially long - 72-inch — sliver of marble make for a showstopper of a console. And finally, at Made Goods, there’s a Beaux Arts mirror with its exaggerated furbelows rendered in dramatic black tin, and a wing chair cast in hammered black or gold iron with upholstered seat. They’re heavy metal remixes of classical favourites. the associated press

Hamelin eyes elusive prizes Speedskating

Decorated Canadian still has plenty to compete for With his three Olympic and 10 world championship gold medals, it seems like Charles Hamelin has won almost everything there is to win in short-track speedskating. But two elusive prizes have kept Hamelin racing at 32, among the oldest in his sport. One of them is an Olympic gold medal in the 1,000 metres, which decorated skater from Sainte-Julie, Que., will pursue in his fourth Winter Games in 2018. Hamelin followed up 500-metre and relay Olympic gold in 2010 by winning the 1,500 in 2014. His other goal is the overall title at the world short-track championship, which goes to the skater who accumulates the most points over the 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 3,000 metres. Hamelin finished second to China’s Han Tianyu this year in Seoul, South Korea, for yet another runner-up finish. The Canadian has won individual distances at the world championships, but never the overall crown. “I’ve finished second three times and third four times, so I’m kind of almost there, but I make a little mistake or I have bad luck,” Hamelin said Wednesday in Calgary. “You need to be good in all four distances at the world cham-

pionships. That is the most demanding competition in all of short track. “At the Olympics, it’s distance by distance over 12 days. At worlds, it’s three days of competition. You need to be ready for anything over those three days.

It’s the fittest guy in the world that will be the world champion.” Hamelin’s next shot at the world title is March 10-12 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He leads the host Canadian team into the season-opening World Cup starting Friday at the
