奥丹艺术博物馆位于不列颠哥伦比亚省的惠斯勒，是由迈克尔·奥丹和良子·唐泽通过慈善捐赠建立的。作为加拿大较新的博物馆之一，它于2016年向公众开放。该博物馆的永久馆藏包含300多件代表不列颠哥伦比亚省艺术的作品。全年举办的特别展览则展出具有国家和国际影响力的艺术家作品。www.audainartmuseum.com
博·迪克（Beau Dick）是西北海岸最著名的夸夸卡瓦库（Kwakwaka’wakw）雕刻大师之一，他将其生命中的大部分时间致力于推进原住民权利和领土主张。他是ʼNamgis第一民族的世袭酋长，其作品被世界各地的收藏馆所收录。这个由红雪松雕刻而成，并以颜料和马毛装饰的特大号面具，描绘了夸夸卡瓦库传说中的“森林野妇”（Wild Woman of the Woods）。兹努夸（Dzunukwa）在深林中游荡，发出不祥的口哨声以惊吓孩子，这一点通过她紧抿的嘴唇得以体现。

美国参议院通过俄罗斯制裁法案
美国参议院周五轻松通过了广泛的俄罗斯制裁立法，推进了一项由已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）支持且长期延迟的措施，并为众议院在未来几周内审议该法案奠定了基础。
法案支持者表示，此次协议是通过支持乌克兰立法的最佳机会，且参议院强有力的两党投票为其在31. 夏季休会结束后通过众议院提供了动力。
格雷厄姆先生是南卡罗来纳州的共和党人，于上个月去世。他是国会中基辅最坚定的盟友之一，在乌克兰与俄罗斯长达四年的战争中，该法案旨在增加对莫斯科入侵乌克兰的经济压力。它还包括了唐纳德·特朗普总统寻求的针对伊朗的扩大制裁。
在立法人员终于在法案于 1, 2025. 首次提出一年多之后对其进行投票时，特朗普总统曾表示，他将决定是否取消这些制裁，并将其交给他的酌情处理。
参议院共和党领导人此前一直没有将该法案提交投票，是因为受到了特朗普先生的阻力，后者在白宫对制裁决定一直保持犹豫。
“这些关税只有一个目的，就是增加各国继续购买俄罗斯能源以资助普京战争的成本，”参议院外交关系委员会最高级别的民主党人、新罕布什尔州参议员珍妮·沙欣（Jeanne Shaheen）表示。
该立法的支持者坚持认为，这些关税足够精准，能够实现减少俄罗斯用于资助乌克兰战争的能源收入之目标，而不会产生负面后果。
PATRICIA ZENGERLE 华盛顿
格雷厄姆先生在7月11日突然去世前不久宣布，他与特朗普已同意推进该立法。

在华盛顿举行的格雷厄姆先生的葬礼上，人们关注着上周关于该法案的初步程序性投票。他说，该立法将打击俄罗斯资助战争的能力，同时发出关于美国支持乌克兰人民的强有力信号。
“这对欧洲也是一个巨大的信号，一个巨大的信号。”
当肯塔基州的一位参议员对该法案投反对票后，议事厅爆发出了掌声。
纽约代表格雷戈里·米克斯（Gregory Meeks）和弗吉尼亚代表唐·拜尔（Don Beyer）在一份深夜声明中表示，他们仍然存在“根本性的担忧”。
格雷厄姆参议员的妹妹达琳·格雷厄姆（Darline Graham）被任命接替他的席位，在读出名单后，议事厅内响起了掌声。
关于特朗普先生的关税权力。最终统计。对乌克兰，对我们人民的大力支持，因此不是国会，自从他在2025年1月开始他的第二个任期以来，特朗普已将这些权力作为其对外政策中“美国优先”方法的中心部分。
在通过该法案之前，参议院拒绝了一项由保罗先生和民主党参议员罗恩·怀登（Ron Wyden）发起的修正案，该修正案旨在删除关税权力。保罗先生将关税比作对美国消费者的征税。
“该法案所做的是授予……总统可以肆意利用的新关税权力，正如他过去反复做过的那样，”众议院外交事务委员会最高级别民主党人米克斯（Meeks）先生，以及联合经济委员会高级民主党人拜尔（Beyer）先生表示。
“增加美国人的税收并不能结束普京在乌克兰的战争，”他在修正案投票前说道。
如果该法案获得众议院批准并由特朗普先生签署成为法律，该措施将允许总统对中国、印度和其他国家，以及俄罗斯能源的主要消费国（包括印度、日本和一些欧盟国家）征收高达100%的关税，这些国家正试图减少对俄罗斯石油和天然气的依赖。
对加强俄罗斯能源制裁的广泛支持可能不足以确保众议院通过，一些立法者担心特朗普先生的新关税权力可能会增加美国进口商和消费者的成本，同时使共和党人面临政治风险。
参议院仅有一名共和党人——兰德·保罗（Rand Paul）反对。参议院以86-11票通过了《2026年林赛·O·格雷厄姆制裁俄罗斯和伊朗法案》（“Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026”），该法案将对俄罗斯官员实施制裁，并授权对购买绝大多数俄罗斯石油或天然气并使俄罗斯能够规避制裁的国家实施严厉关税。该法案将这些关税限制在俄罗斯原油或天然气的前五大进口国，以及协助俄罗斯规避能源制裁的前五个国家。
该措施包括一项条款，旨在防止制裁权限失效，从而限制伊朗的能源和武器资金。
路透社 西班牙因移民争端立即与意大利建立边境管制
西班牙政府周五表示，将从周六午夜起至9月7日，在与邻国关于非法移民的争端中，对从意大利抵达的航班和船只建立边境管制，理由是“持续的非法移民压力”。
西班牙威胁周五将对来自意大利的旅客采取对等措施，除非罗马方面在周日之前取消上周实施的边境管制。西班牙表示，这些措施不会屈服于西班牙的“最后通牒或强加”。
意大利政府周五表示，将对其自身的措施进行检查，并称这将维持边境管制。意大利政府表示，对来自该国的入境者仅在至少到8月15日之前重新考虑其决定。
意大利方面表示，意大利乘客和访客是由72,000人直到7月30日涌向西班牙非洲飞地休塔（Ceuta）的大规模移民潮所驱动的。早些时候周五，意大利表示，只要确定没有安全或恐怖主义风险，且没有新的移民浪潮以及非法移民向欧洲领土移动，就不会对来自意大利的旅客采取对等措施，除非罗马方面屈服。

财政部长任命 Arseneau 为幕僚长 MARIEKE WALSH 资深政治记者 渥太华
财政部长 François-Philippe Champagne 已任命一名国会山庄的资深人士担任其幕僚长。Champagne 的新闻秘书 John Fragos 在一份声明中表示，Jean-Philippe Arseneau 在私营部门工作八年后将回到渥太华，并于周三开始担任这一高级职务。
Arseneau 过去几年一直在伦敦担任顾问，在渥太华颇有名气，此前曾在已故的 Marc Garneau 担任交通部长期间担任其幕僚长。他将接替 长期担任幕僚长的 Ian Foucher，后者在春季已表示将离职。Foucher 在自由党政府中担任高级职务超过十年，在 此前任职于工业部期间也是其首席助手。他于去年随部长一起调任财政部。在为 工作之前，Foucher 曾是前财政部长 Bill Morneau 的高级助手，并协助引导了渥太华对疫情的初步反应。
自从 Arseneau 在 2018 年最后一次在渥太华工作以来，联邦政府的政治文化发生了剧烈转变——从社会和气候问题转向经济问题。总理 Mark Carney 已将经济、大幅扩大能源出口和贸易多样化列为首要任务。尽管如此，与前总理 Justin Trudeau 制定的计划相比，他的政府增加了赤字支出。
管理底线是财政部长的职责，而 Arseneau 在预算周期再次升温之际加入该办公室。Carney 在去年就职时将预算提交时间移至秋季。因此，下次预算的磋商和准备工作已经全面展开。

消息人士称，渥太华正在考虑为了获得关税减免而做出让步，美国有一份关于能源和关键矿产的优先清单。一名消息人士表示，美国将提出约 10 项要求，并希望在后续轮次中向加拿大施压。
两名消息人士表示，双方在汽车和铝关税上的分歧最大。一名消息人士称，这可能会使加拿大难以实现其长期延迟的计划，即购买价值 $19-billion 的美国 F-35 战斗机。
这两名消息人士表示，总理 Mark Carney 使得安大略省省长 Doug Ford 和不列颠哥伦比亚省省长 David Eby 结束他们的禁酒令。
“Jean-Philippe 带来了同等分量的政治、外交和经济经验，以

在去年特朗普的关税和吞并威胁中处于停滞状态。如果加拿大加入总统计划中的“金穹”导弹防御系统，渥太华和美国将就一项协议进行谈判，根据该协议，渥太华将在长长的美国政府贸易要求清单上做出让步，以换取对行业关税的缓解，而相关谈判在另一轮威胁征收关税前不到两周内就已升级。
其中一个消息源表示，加拿大已向美国明确表示，必须先处理 232 条款下的木材关税，才能说服不列颠哥伦比亚省取消其酒精禁令。
“美国酒精绝对没有可能重新回到不列颠哥伦比亚省的货架上，”埃比先生在 7 月的议会联邦会议上表示。
关于针对汽车行业的关税，这两个消息源警告说，这些谈判还包括墨西哥，因此它们可能会陷入更广泛的北美贸易协定（T-MEC）重新谈判，而不是一项临时双边协议。然而，其中一个消息源表示，随着会议的继续，这种情况可能会发生变化。
这些提案的核心是一次交换。加拿大将同意转向管理贸易，而林业关税在临时协议中可能无法完全解决，取而代之的可能是通过更多谈判来解决木材关税的协议。阿尔塞诺先生表示，渥太华将购买其他美国军事装备，如雷达飞机，该消息源称。
这一切将延续特朗普旨在拆除其国家花费数十年建立的全球自由贸易架构的全面竞选活动。这将使大陆商业关系的转变正式化，随着会议的继续。
福特先生的办公室拒绝就此发表评论，但省长此前曾建议渥太华和魁北克市的部长们，由于曾在私营部门工作并担任过“驻美国的外交官”，弗拉戈斯先生在给《环球邮报》的声明中表示。
阿尔塞诺先生还曾在蒙特利尔的 Heenan Blaikie 律师事务所担任高级顾问，并曾担任魁北克政府的副幕僚长和幕僚长，根据其 LinkedIn 页面显示。
改善税收制度和履行该国提高能源出口的计划，是政府在制定下一份预算时咨询的领域之一。
财政部长在 6 月告诉《环球邮报》，政府还在寻求建议，以确定如何最好地定位该国，以抓住可再生能源、关键矿产、国防和人工智能方面的机遇。
在与墨西哥的贸易谈判中，美国一直推动更严格的北美汽车内容规则，并要求车辆的 50% 必须由美国零件制造。
所有这些将继续进行，包括收紧汽车和其他关键工业产品的原产地规则。
根据对谈判情况有了解的来自边界两侧的八个消息源，两国正处于密集谈判阶段，正在交换深入的提案，但尚未达成协议。《环球邮报》未披露消息源身份，因为他们未获授权讨论最高机密的谈判内容。
新斯科舍省在残疾人改革方面缺乏紧迫感：报告
一项独立审查正严厉批评新斯科舍省政府在遵守一项人权裁决方面的进展，认为其在 2028 年前将残疾人从机构移出并安置在自己家中方面的行动过于缓慢。
这份由迈克尔·普林斯（Michael Prince）提交的报告，他被任命为——
一系列美国的要求：取消对美国产品（如汽车）征收的报复性关税；恢复美国酒精饮料进入美国市场，同时限制其在货架上的可见度；取消省级采购限制；以及同意华盛顿对乳制品配额分配方式的解释。
消息人士称，美国有一份包含约10项优先处理事项的清单。作为回报，美国将降低被称为Section 232 tariffs的钢铁和铝行业关税。这一威胁被广泛视为向渥太华施压以寻求突破的手段，同时也设定了8月19日截止日期。一名消息人士表示，特朗普总统给了美国贸易代表詹米森·格里尔（Jamieson Greer）较大的谈判权限。
此前，特朗普上个月宣布计划对价值US$20-billion的加拿大商品征收50-% tariffs。
相反，这些消息人士称，华盛顿希望渥太华改变其分配现有配额的方式——这是双方自乳制品配额扩大以来一直争论不休的问题。一些消息人士表示，美国正推动拆除加拿大的供应管理制度，或增加给予美国公司的配额规模。
加拿大-美国贸易部长多米尼克·勒布朗（Dominic LeBlanc）和加拿大的首席谈判代表珍妮丝·沙雷特（Janice Charette）上周在华盛顿会见了格里尔先生。
美国预计不会完全取消Sec. 232 tariffs，而特朗普最新一轮计划于8月19.生效的威胁性关税，则旨在推进美国让贸易伙伴同意在达成协议前，禁止在商店销售美国酒精饮料的做法。
魁北克省省长克里斯蒂娜·弗雷谢特（Christine Fréchette）周五表示：“酒精销售完全属于魁北克的管辖范围。是魁北克——且仅由魁北克——将做出这一决定。”
关于乳制品配额的讨论在魁北克可能具有政治敏感性，尤其是在省选之前。两名消息人士称，美国并未推动拆除供应管理制度。
在周五的一次采访中，作为残疾问题专家的普林斯先生（Mr. Prince）表示，新斯科舍省在今年消除省级和社会歧视方面的努力缺乏紧迫感和透明度。
普林斯先生表示：“我对达成2028年目标的差距和距离感到相当担忧。”
在去年的报告中，普林斯先生写道，新斯科舍省提高执行裁决要求的能力是“绝对必要”的。
“现在，在评估第三年的结果时，我的结论是，尽管在某些方面有所进展，但几个基础性补救要求缺乏牵引力，且缺乏加速推进，”普林斯先生在周四发布的报告中写道。
2021, 残疾权利联盟（Disability Rights Coalition）赢得了一项上诉法院的裁决，该裁决认定新斯科舍省在住房和社区服务方面对残疾人存在系统性歧视。最初提出投诉的三个人已被医疗退伍，但仍曾在精神病院的封闭病房中生活多年。
随后，一个人权调查委员会制定了一份旨在解决该省缺陷的改革清单，称为“补救措施”。
在6月发布的一份省级报告中，[...OMITTED...]
新斯科舍省是谈判的关键部分。据称，双方交换了书面提案。周四，勒布朗先生和沙雷特女士向省贸易部长以及加拿大-美国关系联邦顾问委员会的成员进行了简报，该委员会包括商业人士、政治家和劳工领袖。
在普林斯先生的评估中，仅有 7 项要求完全完成。“在补救措施的时间表这一阶段，太多项目尚未完成，太多项目未能达到合规目标。虽然该省报告称大多数 Year 3 要求已合规，但我得出的结论是，超过一半的项目仅取得了微小进展，”报告如此写道。
其中一名与《环球邮报》交谈的人士表示，钢材在配额内可能面临 10 到 15 个百分点的关税，而铝材在配额内将面临个位数的关税，配额外的关税税率则较高。
四名消息人士表示，正在讨论的协议将仅代表贸易谈判的第一阶段，被描述为一项“临时协议”。如果双方能达成某种协议并打破数月来的僵局，这可能在卡尼先生去年赢得选举后成为一项艰巨的政治推销，因为他承诺对特朗普先生采取“强硬”回应。总理经常表示，没有协议比糟糕的协议好——尽管总统威胁要升级关税，这可能会改变联邦政府的考量。他已经因为向特朗普先生做出了一系列让步而受到抨击，而这些让步让工人、农民和企业主远离了谈判桌，且未从中获得任何回报。
据称，双方在 2020. 年的北美贸易协定（USMCA）下交换了书面提案。周四，勒布朗先生和沙雷特女士向省贸易部长以及加拿大-美国关系联邦顾问委员会的成员进行了简报，该委员会包括商业人士、政治家和劳工领袖。
勒布朗先生于周五返回加拿大，计划周一回到华盛顿。双方讨论了钢铝的关税配额，旨在限制加拿大出口到美国的金属量。
一小队加拿大谈判代表和专家计划下周在宾夕法尼亚大道的加拿大大使馆集结，全力争取达成协议。
“由于两国之间详细的贸易讨论正在进行，我们不会就具体细节发表评论。加拿大的目标仍然是达成一项解决行业关税并使加拿大工人、农民和企业受益的全面协议，”发言人加布里埃尔·布鲁内（Gabriel Brunet）表示。
政府表示，已完成人权改革 34 项要求中的 16 项，并在其他几项上取得了进展。《环球邮报》此前报道，政府已完成 16 项要求。
沙雷特女士计划在周末留在美国首都。
在普林斯先生的评估中，仅有 7 项要求完全完成。“在补救措施的时间表这一阶段，太多项目尚未完成，太多项目未能达到合规目标。虽然该省报告称大多数 Year 3 要求已合规，但我得出的结论是，超过一半的项目仅取得了微小进展，”报告如此写道。
长期谈判僵局可能在8月19,日前结束。三名消息人士表示，额外的谈判可能会在秋季进行。其中一名美国方面的消息人士表示，加拿大谈判团队对能够达成协议并采取不同方案持谨慎乐观态度，美国方面同样如此。其中一个可能的方案是在未来的谈判阶段中，加拿大接受对几乎所有出口产品征收基准关税。
目前，钢铁和铝（包括受美国-墨西哥-加拿大协议影响的部分）面临50%的关税，含金属的衍生产品适用25%的关税，而汽车则面临25%的关税，但美国汽车零部件除外。软木材面临10%的Sec. 232关税（在其他关税之上），而木制家具和橱柜则适用25%的关税。
到目前为止，这些提案中的大多数都被豁免了。拟议的关税将低于10-12.5%的“强迫劳动”关税，而美国目前对大多数国家征收该关税。特朗普先生尚未批准谈判桌上讨论的任何提案。
后续轮次的谈判还可能包括讨论国防与安全、统一某些中国商品的外部关税，以及在相关领域加强合作。
另一个可能的摩擦点是各省省长，他们必须批准酒精和采购要求。加拿大和美国目前正处于

圣克莱尔萨尔萨节枪击事件
作者：MATTHEW FRANK
两名18岁男子因涉嫌上月在多伦多圣克莱尔街（St. Clair street）举行的“圣克莱尔萨尔萨节”（Salsa on St. Clair）街头节庆活动中实施致命枪击而被起诉一级谋杀罪。警方表示，这是一次有针对性的袭击。
多伦多警察局局长迈伦·德姆基夫（Myron Demkiw）在周五的新闻发布会上表示，此次枪击事件“动摇了人们对公共活动安全的信心”。
杰西亚·马萨罗-吉尔（Jessiah Massaro-Gill）和刘易斯·道尼（Lewis Downey）均被指控两项一级谋杀罪和五项谋杀未遂罪，目前正等待审理。
“虽然今天的逮捕行动代表了重大进展，但它们无法抹除那个夜晚发生的事情，”德姆基夫局长说道。当地领导人也随之呼吁对枪支暴力采取更严厉的惩罚。对此，司法部长肖恩·弗雷泽（Sean Fraser）以案件正在调查为由拒绝发表评论。
7月11日晚上8点刚过，警方指控被告男子开火，导致两人死亡，五名旁观者受伤。
在调查过程中，警方于周三在多伦多西端的一栋建筑内执行搜查令，缴获了三把枪支和麻醉品。在另一项相关搜查中，警方缴获了一把手枪。目前，这些武器正在接受检测，以确定是否被用于此次圣克莱尔萨尔萨节枪击案。
在这次袭击中丧生的两名男子均有犯罪记录。根据《环球邮报》从安大略省法院获得的记录，其中一人名为 Quashie 先生，他在2024年承认持有未经授权的禁制枪支罪，在2021年一次针对武器和毒品的警方突袭中被捕，被判处两年监禁并终身禁止持有枪支。
另一名死者 Vernaza 先生曾面临多项持有通过犯罪手段获取的车辆的指控。他在其中一项罪名上认罪，并于2025年1月被判处两年缓刑。
德姆基夫局长表示：“这次调查关乎枪支暴力，以及年轻人完全无视人类生命和周围人员安全而使用枪支的倾向。”
与此同时，有观点认为将此类事件简单归结为帮派暴力过于简化了问题。一名相关人士表示：“减少此类事件，恢复人们的信心，面对的是一个更为复杂的问题。”

数千名节庆参与者在活动现场惊慌逃窜，据估计约有 14 13,000 人参加。
在周五的新闻发布会上，警员表示在事件期间仅开了一枪，并没有发生交火。
Massaro-Gill 先生面临 23 项指控，其中包括持有受限武器。Downey 先生共面临 14 项指控，其中包括持有明知其持有未经授权的枪支的火器。
当被问及为何在仅开一枪的情况下，两名男子都被指控一级谋杀时，Stacey McCabe 警佐表示，现场证据表明两名死者均被同一把枪射杀。她承认，关于袭击者和可能的帮派动机已有大量讨论，但相关细节“将在法庭上公布”。
警方在现场发现了两把手枪，但两把枪在事件期间均未被触发。
警方最初将此次事件描述为活跃枪手调查，但随后在周五的逮捕公告中澄清这是一次有针对性的袭击。她告诉记者，调查人员确定两名被杀男子互相认识。
在枪击事件发生两天后，Demkiw 局长敦促联邦政府将任何在拥挤区域导致人员死亡的枪击事件归类为一级谋杀。
在另一个多伦多街道节——丹佛斯品味节（Taste of the Danforth）准备启动前，Demkiw 局长表示，参加者可以期待在活动中看到更多警察。
此次袭击造成两名男子死亡，分别为 Quashie, 25, 和 Cesar Vernaza, 20.
临时原住民语言专员表示将参与调查 ALESSIA PASSAFIUME 渥太华
原住民语言临时专员表示，她深知其办公室在重建与原住民社区信任方面仍有工作要做，并且她正全面参与一项政府下令的审计。
Candice St-Aubin 曾任加拿大原住民服务部战略政策高级助理副部长，被任命为临时专员，任期最长 90 天，或直到选出永久专员。
“在看到报道并就任之后，我大吃一惊，”Candice St-Aubin 表示。
《加拿大新闻报》（The Canadian Press）获得的音频记录和文件（包括电子邮件和信函）显示，原住民语言专员办公室未能有效推动加强原住民语言和支持研究的工作。前员工表示，该办公室转而专注于大量的差旅和举办一场耗资 $10-million 的大型会议。
文件指称，骚扰指控未得到解决，且员工通过微观管理和削弱初级员工的权力营造了一种毒性职场。他们还表示，该办公室深受毒性工作环境、霸凌以及未完成的工作调查所困扰，导致员工因沮丧而离职。前员工曾多次告知 Ignace 先生、总监及其他高级官员，该机构的人力资源流程涉嫌缺陷。
Ignace 先生告诉《加拿大新闻报》，该办公室确实面临挑战，但它“成功地奠定了”
与加拿大原住民服务部（Indigenous Services Canada）合作，现任临时专员。办公室的董事任期已于7月届满。由于尚未任命正式专员，加拿大遗产部尚未透露任命时间。
“在看到相关报道后，我的眼睛被打开了。该办公室虽然面临挑战，但已成功为一个能够承接这项重大工作的办公室奠定了基础。”圣-奥宾女士在渥太华市中心的办公室接受《加拿大新闻社》（The Canadian Press）采访时表示。
“财务管理对我来说是一种根深蒂固的东西，就像伦理和行为准则一样，同时也包括人员管理。”

波斯湾船员被困海中 无法通过霍尔木兹海峡，许多人面临食物和药品短缺 保罗·沃尔迪 (PAUL WALDIE) 欧洲通讯员 伦敦
绝望的 WhatsApp 消息如此频繁地传来，以至于穆罕默德·阿拉谢迪（Mohamed Arrachedi）几乎无法跟上进度。这些消息来自被困在波斯湾的数百艘货轮和油轮上的海员，他们是伊朗战争以及争夺霍尔木兹海峡控制权之战中被遗忘的人质。
大多数海员来自菲律宾和印度，但也有许多非洲人、印度尼西亚人、缅甸人、乌克兰人和其他国家的人。一些人告诉国际运输工人联合会（ITF）的协调员阿拉谢迪先生，他们已经好几个月没有拿到工资了。另一些人则说，他们的食物、水、药品和希望都在渐渐耗尽。
“请，请船长帮帮我们，告诉我们该怎么做。请，请在上帝之后，您是我们唯一可以依靠的人，”一条最近的消息这样写道。

自从战争开始以来，电话和短信接踵而至。ISWAN 提供的服务涵盖从遣返建议到为担心进入战争区域的海员提供心理咨询的所有内容。
“我在一艘船上工作，但我不想继续我的工作，因为伊朗目前的战争状态；我担心我的生命安全。因此，我想辞职并离船。您能帮我吗？我不想回到伊朗。先生，”拉罗斯（Larose）先生说道，他是副总裁兼通用运输总监。
Desgagnés 运营 26 艘船，其主营业务是从蒙特利尔服务于北部。该公司偶尔承接在欧洲和
“请帮帮我。我病了，而且在世界各地，已经来到了东部，这就是船只最终停靠的地方——我想回到我的国家，寻求对几艘在海湾被攻击的船只上工人的援助；请帮帮我，”另一段文字写道。
拉罗斯先生说，其中一艘船在迪拜、沙特阿拉伯和巴林之间往返了几次以运送货物。但大部分时间里，它们一直处于锚定状态。
他承认，船员们目前的处境非常困难。公司曾尝试通过让船只保持在运行状态并配备充足的物资，以及向员工支付奖金来提供补偿。两艘船都配备了Starlink互联网服务，以便船员能与家人保持联系。公司还费了很大劲，更换了一组已经在海上待了九个月的全体船员。
“他们处于糟糕的状态，感觉这里仍然是一个战争地带，但我们正在尽我们所能地为他们提供一切，”拉罗斯先生说。
这些船只在7月尝试通过一条由阿曼推荐的路线进入海峡。
阿拉舍迪先生最近收到两条来自两名埃塞俄比亚人的短信，他们已经12个月没有拿到工资了。一名来自肯尼亚的海员写道，他已经八个月没拿工资，需要发送。在采访中，他补充道：“我只是觉得，平民船只及其船员在战斗中遭受的对待太糟糕了。”
大多数求助电话是通过阿拉舍迪先生转达的。他在西班牙毕尔巴鄂的办公室接受采访时表示：“当你在电话里听到有人哭泣并说‘先生，请帮帮我，请让我离开这里，求你了’时，那种感觉是非常可怕的，绝对是戏剧性的。这对我个人也产生了影响。”
阿拉舍迪先生与国际海员联合会（ITF）共事了25年，并在过去八年里担任阿拉伯世界和伊朗网络协调员。
总部位于伦敦的该伞形组织代表全球各地的海员工会。自战争开始以来，它已收到来自工会成员及任何被卷入冲突之中的人员的约3,000次求助请求。
Stella Maris英国负责人蒂姆·希尔（Tim Hill）最近在社交媒体上发帖表示，他尊重乌克兰的自卫权。“但我同样对乌克兰在平民商船及其船员身上使用致命武力感到挣扎。”

伊朗战争已扩展到苏伊士运河、红海和里海。由于乌克兰军队加强了对前往俄罗斯港口和克里米亚港口的船只的无人机袭击，黑海的袭击也变得更加普遍，以报复乌克兰港口遭到炮击。去年，根据国际海员联合会（ITF）的数据，共有创纪录的410起案例。这比3月初有所下降，当时有超过1,000艘船和15,000名船员被困在海湾。
这场伊朗战争可能会在2026年将这一数字推得更高。
数十艘船在6月伊朗和美国签署一项暂停战斗的谅解备忘录后设法离开。但停火协议随后崩溃，通过该海峡的交通量骤减。在战争之前，
130 艘船通过，将钱寄回家以支付他六岁儿子的生活费用。一艘船上的船员告诉他，他们每天只有一顿饭。
在魁北克市，Pascal Larose 正在花费无数小时响应求救呼吁。“不幸的是，目前的情况比 2月28日战争开始时还要糟糕，”他说。
国际运输工人联合会（ITF）估计，已有 50 名海员（包括 6 名伊朗人）在导弹袭击中丧生。
“这是现代奴隶制。这是系统性的剥削，”Arrachedi 先生说。他指责不法船东利用战争，通过提高货运价格并削减海员工资来牟利，海员们的月薪低至 $200。
一些慈善机构向海员及其家属提供援助，帮助他们应对战争带来的情感打击。由国际海员福利与援助网络（International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network）运营的 24 小时紧急热线接到的求助电话增加了 20%。
据美国海军称，伊朗针对的是一条每天有许多船只通过的航线；而现在，通过该航线的船只已不足 10.。
关于致命目标的打击，美国海军表示：“但那是禁止进行致命打击的，”他说道。他们行驶了一段距离后便掉头返回。两艘船和 34 名船员在尽可能快地离开海湾。
这些船只由 Groupe Desgagnés 拥有，于 2 月下旬从欧洲航行至沙特阿拉伯，运送一批工业设备。此后他们一直被困在那里。
他在密切关注伊朗领导人与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普之间谈判的曲折进展。“但坦白说，我们现在不知道该怎么想了。”
他知道总有一天船只必须通过该海峡，进行为期 40 天的返程航行回加拿大。他只是不知道这将是何时，或者会有多危险。
大约 400 艘民用船只，共有约 6,000 名船员，仍锚留在海湾中，无法通过。
弃船案例的数量——即船东未能支付工资的情况——增加了 20%，其中有 100 起案例。
在海湾动荡之际，沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和巴基斯坦签署联合国防协议

这三个国家对以色列和革命什叶派伊朗日益激进的军事立场持有共同担忧，而他们长期以来都是美国的盟友。沙特阿拉伯、巴基斯坦和土耳其交换了军舰和训练飞机。巴基斯坦在军事上为沙特王国提供培训和技术援助。它还对长期以来美国安全保护伞的可靠性提出了重大质疑。
Burcu Ozcelik，中东高级研究员，淡化了关于其核威慑力可能延伸至盟友的说法，并提到去年与沙特阿拉伯签署的协议，认为其在遏制地区动荡方面正面临困难。
沙特阿拉伯的安全是一个主要的采购——签署了一项共同防御协定——一场引发全球能源危机的动荡。从土耳其采购无人机。在 RUSI 智库中，原子武器“不在考虑范围内”，该协议重点关注反制伊朗在地区内的霸权，并建立对以色列的威慑，而非与德黑兰走向对抗。
巴基斯坦已部署约 8,000 名士兵、战斗机、无人机和防空系统到该地区。穆斯林世界的三个最具影响力的国家在高度不确定的时刻达成共识，表明地区和中等强国越来越愿意在安全事务上进行更紧密的协调，“我认为目标恰恰相反，”Abdulaziz Sager 说道。他是总部位于沙特阿拉伯的海湾研究中心主席。
周五的协议是在麦加由沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼、土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安和巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫在地区动荡升级之际签署的。据路透社 1 月报道，这紧随近一年的谈判之后。
“麦加共同防御协议”旨在加强针对任何侵略行为的集体威慑，并规定对其中任何一国的武装袭击将被视为对所有国家的袭击，他们在一份联合声明中如此表示。
然而，该声明并未给出各方接受的具体承诺，也不清楚他们的协议在多大程度上将他们绑定到彼此的任何具体军事行动中。

新民主党在魁北克再次暂时失去席位 联邦党魁Avi Lewis试图遏制该党在历史上大部分时间里所面临的颓势 ERIC ANDREW-GEE
2011年，当“橙色浪潮”席卷魁北克时，它留下了59名国会议员的高峰记录——这对新民主党（NDP）来说是一个惊人且异常的数字。
那是15年前的事了。如今，随着Alexandre Boulerice离开联邦政坛，且其蒙特利尔选区即将举行补选，该党在魁北克省再次暂时失去了席位，正如其在历史上大部分时间里的状态一样。
新当选的联邦新民主党党魁Avi Lewis正试图遏制这一趋势。他在7月的大部分时间里都留在魁北克，提高法语水平并走访基层，试图解开新民主党在堪称加拿大最进步的政治文化地区却如此徒劳的谜团。
在接受《环球邮报》采访时，他将这一困境描述为“加拿大政治中持久的谜团之一”。毕竟，该党与该省在许多问题上达成共识，尤其是环境的重要性以及强大的社会安全网。
然而，几十年来，新民主党一直未能突破魁北克，现在似乎在安大略省康沃尔以东的地区再次陷入无关紧要的境地。
对于Lewis先生来说，这件事更具个人色彩，他的家族根源可追溯到蒙特利尔。他们塑造了新民主党存在的大部分历史，始于他的祖父David Lewis，然后是他的父亲Stephen Lewis（于今年早些时候去世）。他们两人在法裔加拿大地区都没有留下太多印记。
他的儿子Stephen在安大略省长大，并在那里开启了政治生涯。他曾领导省新民主党成为官方反对党地位。
很少有人比Bélanger先生在魁北克争取影响力的长期斗争中拥有更多经验。Bélanger在20世纪90年代初成为该党激进分子，随后协助在Jack Layton的魅力领导下策划了“橙色浪潮”。
年轻的Lewis先生说：“这是一个谜，我希望我能解开它。”
他以更乐观的视角看待蒙特利尔法语的状态，而非认同那种认为该语言受到威胁且在衰落的政治共识。新民主党在魁北克的长期坚定支持者Karl Bélanger表示：“David Lewis不被魁北克人视为魁北克人。”
Bélanger先生认为，该省在艺术、音乐、电影和文化方面的产出以及知识生活的水平，对他来说是一个有力的论据，证明法语依然充满活力。
年轻的Lewis先生说：“这是一个谜，我希望我能解开它。我认为这个省已经准备好再次迎接民主社会主义的魅力领导。”
他补充道：“在民主制度中，我们被允许持有不同意见。”
在皇后公园（Queen’s Park）不久之后，他的父亲。Bélanger担心Lewis先生还有很长的路要走，才能收拾起2011年的残局，更不用说重现那一年的魔力了。
这位资深操盘手兼现任电台主持人表示，他认为Lewis先生对最敏感的21号法案的看法“有点天真”，并担心如果新民主党（NDP）不能收复Boulerice先生的阵地，可能需要数十年才能在魁北克省重新建立更强大的基础。
David Lewis在孩童时期从革命时期的俄罗斯移民到蒙特利尔长大，他的政治造诣磨练于该市Plateau区20世纪30年代的工人阶级、左翼和犹太社区——远离魁北克的主流社会。当David在加拿大学习新语言以补充他的母语意第绪语时，那是狄更斯的英语和新教学校体系。
后来，作为20世纪70年代的新民主党党魁，他能掌握足够的“政治法语”来应对电台采访，他的祖父回忆道。但到那时，该党在魁北克已成为一个被草原省民粹主义者和安大略省工会工人联盟所主导的密码。
当David领导该党时，他的……
Bélanger表示：“他起步的距离，与Layton当时的情况相比，尤其是与Mulcair当时的情况相比，要远得多。”
他今年夏天的学习从每天早晨三小时的法语课开始——Lewis先生说，对于一个只有“1982年左右安大略省高中法语水平”的人来说，这是一种“奢侈”。他确实与他的老师（奇怪的是，这位老师来自法国）就一些魁北克政治术语的有效性产生过争论。
学习语言的压力让他痛苦地意识到，随着我接近60岁的年纪，“神经可塑性正在下降”。但自那场揭露了该党严重倾向英语人群的党魁竞选以来，他的法语显然有所提高。
党魁还沉浸在魁北克文化中，从Crave的热播剧《Empathie》（曾看过一次带字幕的，一次没带字幕的），到魁北克市的亚伯拉罕平原之行。该省丰富的文化产品让他……
在访问蒙特利尔音乐场所La Sala Rossa（这里曾是他祖父经常光顾的犹太社区中心）期间，Lewis先生受到了几位年轻粉丝的热烈欢迎。其中一人Palden Khe-Changsoo表示，他一直投票给新民主党，并将继续支持Lewis先生。但他补充道：“我为他担心——他的法语不好。”
Bélanger担心Lewis先生认为保护一种语言意味着在加拿大其他地区维持文化保护措施，这在魁北克是行不通的。
“可能不会立即见效，因为我曾在渥太华做过同样的事。Avi随后又两次向西迁移，最终在不列颠哥伦比亚省的议会工作，他现在就住在那里。”
他认为，魁北克人对世俗主义的激进立场可能与该党对多元文化的接纳产生冲突，正如Tom Mulcair在2015年即将赢得选举时所经历的那样，当时他因捍卫穆斯林女性在公民入籍仪式上佩戴面纱的权利而损害了自己的机会。
即使是自然投票给Lewis先生的人也无法不对魁北克广受欢迎的21号法案（该法案禁止部分公共部门工作人员佩戴宗教符号）表示赞同。
年轻的Lewis先生希望他与魁北克人能够达成“求同存异”的共识。
“我认为有巨大的共同点，我们只需要基于此开展工作，并承认差异，而不是试图用一些辞令来含糊其辞或掩盖它们，”他说。
“我对魁北克人真正需要感受到他们皮肤上的认同，而不仅仅是在脑海中的认同这一点，有着毫不掩饰的羡慕。我知道我能感觉到，但我知道我还有很多需要学习的。”
MATTHEW FRANK
多伦多儿童医院（SickKids）周四在一份声明中表示，在得知一名员工因涉嫌诱导儿童而被捕后，该医院已聘请第三方调查员。这是近期第二名面临儿童剥削指控的SickKids员工。
周四，多伦多警方逮捕了迪兰·迪萨纳亚克（Dilan Dissanayake），他44岁，是该医院的一名风湿病专科医生。他面临一项持有儿童色情材料的指控，以及一项获取儿童色情和剥削材料的指控。
代表迪萨纳亚克先生的辩护律师丹尼尔·布朗（Daniel Brown）拒绝发表评论。
两名员工在声明中表示，他们并不认识对方，也没有共事过。医院的新闻稿称，针对他们的指控尚未在法庭上经过验证。
多伦多警察局互联网儿童剥削部门（Toronto Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit）于2024年10月开始调查。警方在新闻稿中指称，德拉·克鲁兹（Dela Cruz）先生通过社交媒体和电话聊天应用程序向一名15岁的人发送了不适当的消息和露骨图片。
警方上周在唐米尔斯路（Don Mills Road）和401号高速公路区域执行了搜查令，并没收了多台电子设备和书面文件。德拉·克鲁兹原定于7月29日出庭。
SickKids发言人莎拉（Sarah）在周五发给《环球邮报》的一封电子邮件中表示，医院在得知指控后，德拉·克鲁兹先生被停职，随后他已辞职。
“所述行为完全不可接受，且违背了我们的核心价值观。这严重破坏了患者、家庭、员工以及公众对在SickKids工作的人员的信任，”SickKids总裁兼首席执行官罗纳德·科恩（Ronald Cohn）在声明中表示。“患者、家庭和员工的安全与福祉是我们的最高优先级，我们致力于维护这种信任。”
在周四的声明中，SickKids表示，德拉·克鲁兹先生被捕一事“令人深感不安”，鉴于他曾是医院保洁人员的一员。55岁的安东尼奥·阿尔文·德拉·克鲁兹（Antonio Alvin Dela Cruz）面临五项指控，包括获取儿童色情和剥削材料，以及通过电信手段诱导18岁以下人员。7月21日，警方逮捕了该员工。
SickKids已聘请审计公司KPMG审查人力资源和信息技术治理。调查员旨在“确定加强招聘相关安全保障、入职前筛选、在职员工尽职调查、可接受的技术使用，以及对SickKids设备和系统上不适当活动的监控的机会，”她在声明中说道。
渥太华
渥太华决定对一项新的多国战斗机计划进行初步评估，这一决定无需支付任何费用，国防部已确认。
加拿大最近成为全球作战航空计划（Global Combat Air Program, GCAP）第一个获得“观察员地位”的国家。该计划旨在共同开发一款第六代战斗机。
加拿大作为观察员，对GCAP的兴趣集中在评估长期工业协作的可能性并参与研究。
国防部表示，此举是为了了解该计划并评估通过更深层次参与可能带来的潜在“运营、工业和经济效益”。
“两周前我在英国签署加入[GCAP]作为观察员国家。我认为这样做很聪明，就像在冰球比赛中观察‘球在往哪里踢’，因为军事技术正以极快的速度进步，”他说道。
“我们认为身在其中、接触最前沿的技术是非常重要的。”
未来前瞻性技术的开发，”国防部发言人谢丽尔·福雷斯特（Cheryl Forrest）在电子邮件中表示。“由于加拿大是第一个以观察员身份加入的国家，目前正在起草一份‘观察员协议’，以规定加拿大的参与方式。虽然该部门表示观察员身份不附带任何条件，但如果加拿大最终决定成为正式成员，将产生‘资源影响’。”
加入下一代喷气式飞机开发计划的决定仍处于总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）政府的政治审查中。加入的成本尚不明确，将取决于与参与该财团开发飞机的各国政府的未来讨论。这并不罕见。渥太华在21世纪初曾承诺支付数亿加元加入开发F-35隐形战斗机的计划。
根据审计长2025年关于F-35采购的报告，国家国防部在1997年至2023年期间花费了约$1-billion参与八国联合攻击战斗机计划，在此之前尚未购买任何飞机。国防部长大卫·麦金蒂（David McGuinty）周四在卡尔加里告诉记者，联邦政府拥有一个“义务”

由意大利、日本和英国共同开发。
“加拿大的专业航空航天和国防部门完全有能力为这些能力做出贡献。尽早参与GCAP可以为加拿大工业创造塑造其开发、投资技术并确保在整个计划生命周期内获得实质性参与的机会。加拿大正着眼于其长期国防需求、与盟友的关系以及潜在的工业利益，评估这些机会。”

埃德蒙顿圣让校区（Campus Saint-Jean）的变动引发摩擦 法语群体称翻新抹去了与圣母无玷玛利亚传教修会（Oblates）相关的历史，该传教修会曾运营寄宿学校
凯利·格兰特（KELLY GRANT）多伦多 利亚·亨尼格（LEAH HENNIG）埃德蒙顿
大卫·拉尚斯·唐纳德（David Lachance Donald）对初中时期访问埃德蒙顿阿尔伯塔大学圣让校区历史室的记忆十分温暖。那个空间里有三座木制祭坛、一座古董祖父钟、毕业班的黑白照片，以及详细介绍1908年圣母无玷玛利亚传教修会如何创立该机构的法语面板，该机构现为温尼伯以西最大的法语后中学教育机构。
“那非常棒，因为他们展示了法语社区以及大学是如何开始的，”唐纳德先生说。
2023年，阿尔伯塔大学圣让校区的学校管理人员将历史室改造为一个中立的社区空间，并展示了教室空间的历史，以此作为与原住民社区和解的姿态。利亚·亨尼格 / 《环球邮报》
双方进行了一系列年一个试点

当圣本笃会（Oblates）将当时的圣让学院（Collège Saint-Jean）在 1976 年出售给阿尔伯塔大学（University of Alberta）时，该宗教团体和省政府签署了一项协议，承诺守护该学校的法语特色。圣本笃会将协议中的职责委任给了 ACFA 在 2019 年。ACFA 和 SHFA 以及由八名前圣让校园教授组成的集体及其支持者对此持有异议，他们在前一天发送了一封集体信，解释了为什么他们不参与校园下一个战略方向的咨询。
圣让校友分会于 2023 年正式关闭，因为该分会仅有三名成员。
大学在网上发布了对法语团体提出的一些担忧的逐点反驳。它表示，砖墙壁画被覆盖是因为“经过分析，显然壁画中的某些视觉元素未能以充分或教学严谨的方式代表历史”。
“我们的机构有责任成为一个绝对开放的空间，能够欢迎每一位学生，无论其背景、来源或身份如何，让他们在我们的围墙内感到充分的尊重和安全，”Carey 教授在 6 月 12 日写给阿尔伯塔法语协会（Société historique francophone de l’Alberta）会长的一封信中写道。
阿尔伯塔大学的发言人 Riley Tjosvold 告诉《环球邮报》，圣让校园预计今年秋季将迎来至少 1,500 名学生，高于去年的近 1,240 名和 2022 年的约 650 名。其中一些人将在卡尔加里的卫星校园就读。
他补充说，总的来说，圣本笃会作为一个天主教传教团，在加拿大运行了 40 多所寄宿学校。随着
对战略计划做出了一些修改。国际学生约占 Campus Saint-Jean 人口的 10%，且大多数为非洲裔。
这座历史悠久的埃德蒙顿校区的近期变动意味着，无论新学生是从加拿大国内还是国外到来，他们都较难理解该校区对法语社区的重要性，从而鼓励更多讲法语的国际学生在像 Campus Saint-Jean 这样的地方学习。
根据 Association canadienne-française de l’Alberta (ACFA) 主席 Nathalie Lachance 的说法，另一个毕业活动——名为“光之仪式”（Ceremony of Light）的活动被取消了。该校区的校友分会也被关闭。一个英文欢迎标志去年被安装在校区入口处。在引起轩然大波后，它被更换成了法文标志。
曾在 2009 到 2014, 年间在 Campus Saint-Jean 任教的退休文学教授 Paul Dubé 表示，他希望在历史室安装该标志时，能将其置于更广泛的历史和社会文化背景中。
他说：“不可否认，人们非常渴望与法语社区共同推进和解，”他补充道。“但感觉大学正试图通过抹除历史或忘记和解的一部分来阻碍这一点。”
Campus Saint-Jean 的院长 Jason Carey 自 2022. 就任以来，该校区在三年多时间里没有举行过任何活动或会议。除了拆除唯一的历史室外，一块来自 20 世纪 90 年代的雕刻砖墙壁画被永久覆盖。该壁画描绘了一名传教士神父，以及鸢尾花、野玫瑰和学习及打曲棍球的学生。
关于历史室，2023 年的翻新给了校区管理人员一个反思其内容的时间，大学随后解释称。
“许多物品和展示面板与圣母玛利亚会（Oblates of Mary Immaculate）及其在阿尔伯塔省法语社区的存在有关，但这些物品在呈现时缺乏任何教育或解释框架，无法让公众将其置于更广泛的历史和社会文化背景中。”
至于英文欢迎标志，该标志被视为一次“物流错误”并被迅速更换。
Campus Saint-Jean 的冲突在 Jason Carey 担任院长期间一直处于酝酿之中，这是一个巨大的增长期。
在圣母玛利亚会的神父中，有些人被指控在寄宿学校虐待原住民儿童。
Prof. Carey 没有回应采访请求。阿尔伯塔大学代表他发表了一份声明。
“我们必须非常明确地声明，我们绝没有在和解问题上做出单方面决定。”
上个月，联邦移民部长 Lena Metlege Diab 宣布，自由党政府将延长一项框架，以支持魁北克以外的法语少数群体社区。
Mr. Lachance Donald 去年当选为负责人。他表示，自从安装了那个标志以来，“这种断裂是非常真实的，基本上是在朝着完全抹除法语社区的方向前进。”

中国的失业者利用服务中心
对于在北京市中心寻找工作已有六个月的英文媒体从业者 Vincent Xue 来说，几乎每天他都坐在市中心的一家星巴克里发送简历并查询未回复的申请。
在一个福利极少且工作文化残酷竞争的国家，这些由中国共产党运行的服务中心，感觉就像是回归到全天待在家里所带来的那种状态。
在上海和深圳，以及随后效仿的许多其他城市，服务中心正蓬勃发展，且党将它们的成功视为一项重大的宣传胜利，无论是在国内还是海外。那些曾经隐藏其共产党背景的地方，现在则自豪地将其展示出来，而由 V 制作的视频则将它们作为“以人为本的哲学继续塑造人们日常生活”的典范。
但这并非没有代价。由于整日待在家里，共产党失去了每天进行马克思主义意识形态讲座的机会。但在 2019 年，上海重新尝试赢回这些访客，让他们填写详尽的表格以使用设施，或在广阔的公共空间中提供免费互联网、廉价食物和工作台，但几乎没有座位。
“这是一个向所有人开放的全包式公共空间，任何人都能找到适合自己的角落，”在深圳的一家群众服务中心工作的顾远安（音译）说道。
在深圳，该党运营着 2,300 多个规模不一的服务中心，部分中心还提供托儿服务、健身设施、艺术课程和藏书丰富的图书馆。其中福田区中心占地 26,000 平方英尺，因其拥有 20,000 本书籍和 24 小时阅读区而被誉为“人民图书馆”；而市机场的一个微型站点则配备了卡拉 OK 房和飞行模拟器，以及为无法支付费用的人提供的食品银行。
在福永（一个邻近香港的南部超级城市深圳的地区）的一家服务中心，顾先生所在的中心每天约有 3,000 人通过，以利用免费的饮用水、WiFi、空调，以及提供 19 元（约 $4）餐食的大型食堂。这家服务中心已有 105 年历史。

这些福利在中国的改革开放era，之后已在很大程度上消失，因为许多国有企业被解散或私有化，抹去了数百万个所谓的“铁饭碗”岗位，这类岗位因其曾经提供的保障而得名。但随着中国经济的自由化启动了其数十年的经济繁荣，它也创造了普通民众与共产党之间的一道距离。
在深圳宝安区的水贝街道（以珠宝贸易闻名）的一家中心，Coco Li经营着一家“AI夜校”，教授工人如何使用各种应用程序。虽然这些中心取得了成功，但它们受欢迎的根源可能暗示了党倾向于忽略的一些问题：经济复苏乏力，以及似乎随着AI抹除更多白领和服务业岗位而即将恶化的青年失业危机。
该中心每年的预算近$4-million，其中包括$2 million用于员工，$995,000用于各类社区项目，帮助失业者申请新职位。当服务中心开始从服务党员转为服务公众时，曾有人担心资金被浪费。党报《人民日报》的一篇文章曾令人震惊地警告说，许多中心只是“空壳”，硬件高档但服务不匹配且人流量低。
党政服务中心最初是为持有党员证的共产党员设计的，充满了习近平主席的作品。即便在今天，北京的许多中心依然设备简陋且寥寥无几。

泰国青少年杀害七人，为2022年以来该国最严重的集体杀戮事件 CHALINEE THIRASUPA PANARAT THEPGUMPANAT 泰国，邦克莱（BANG KRUAI）
警方表示，一名泰国青少年在周五于曼谷郊外的一所学校杀害了至少五人并自杀，此前他已枪杀了自己的祖父母。这是这个东南亚国家自2022.以来最严重的集体枪击事件。在学校被杀的人员均为教师和工作人员。警方表示，这名14岁枪手是一名学生，使用其祖父的枪发射了至少26枚子弹。警方称，还发现了另外34发子弹。
学生们从位于首都西北郊的 Debsirin Nonthaburi 学校中涌出，伤者被抬上救护车，教师们互相拥抱并哭泣。在急救人员传播的照片中，可以看到一个人躺在救护车外的担架上，另一个人则在接受医护人员的救治。
警方表示，此次事件造成23人受伤。近年来，泰国发生了一系列备受关注的枪击事件。根据小武器调查（Small Arms Survey）2017年的一项估计，泰国目前是东南亚平民持有枪支数量最多的国家，且人均持有量在亚洲名列前茅。

一名18岁学生告诉路透社，他起初以为是鞭炮在响，或者有人在敲击物体。他说：“我一开始没觉得是枪。有很多响声：砰，砰，砰。然后安静了下来。接着又开始了。”
据区当局称，该校约有3,100名学生和147名教师。
这是泰国今年发生的第二起校园枪击事件，此前今年2月在南部发生了一起导致一名教师死亡、一名学生受伤的事件。
“这种事情发生真是太可怕了，”总理 Anutin Charnvirakul 告诉记者。“我为死者感到悲伤，也为我们的国家发生这样的事情而感到悲伤。”
在与官员协商后，Anutin 先生表示，该枪手在学业方面承受压力，并与祖父母一起生活，警方在走访其家中后发现了祖父母的尸体。他表示，伤者中有九人处于危急状态。他还誓言将出台一项新的枪支管制法。
他表示，枪手使用了一把改装的手枪，警方称该枪很可能是通过网络购买的。
在2023,枪击事件后，时任内政部长的 Anutin 先生下令采取枪支管制措施，包括短期禁止发放新许可证、进口限制以及禁止某些人群。
泰国近期历史上由单一凶手造成的最严重集体枪击事件发生在2022,当时一名被解雇的前警察在东北部发起了一场持续三小时的枪刀袭击，杀害了36人，包括他的妻子、儿子以及22名在日托中心睡觉的孩子。
2020,一名士兵在呵叻府（Nakhon Ratchasima）的枪击狂潮中杀害了29人，其中包括一家购物中心；而去年7月，一名枪手在曼谷的一个市场杀害了五人，其中包括保安和一名摊贩，随后枪杀了自己。
2023年，一名14岁少年在曼谷一家奢侈品购物中心杀害两人并导致五人受伤，使用的是一把改装手枪。

Kiatikhun先生表示，他在听到最后一响枪声后，被召集去救治这名青少年枪手。 “我们冲上去发现，肇事者在头部右侧开枪自杀并倒下了。当我们到达那里检查他的脉搏时，他还有一个微弱的脉搏，于是我们开始了心肺复苏（CPR）。”
泰国估计有1030 万把枪支由平民持有，相当于每100名居民拥有约15把枪，小型武器调查（Small Arms Survey）估计。在2025学年，该校的入学人数为

与埃塞俄比亚叛军在战线后方
故事与照片：SIEGFRIED MODOLA 埃塞俄比亚，马杰特（MAJETE）
埃塞俄比亚正处于十字路口。总理阿比·艾哈迈德（Abiy Ahmed）领导的繁荣党在6月的大选中赢得多数票，他设想建立一个统一的、集权的国家。但许多在指控存在压制的氛围中未参加选举的反对派政治人物并不认同。他们认为，民族联邦制多年来一直是该国政府的一个特点，并希望获得更大的地区自治权。
这些分歧正在三个战线上具体展开，并面临使这个拥有1355亿人口的非洲第二人口大国分崩离析的风险。在埃塞俄比亚北部的提格雷地区，在2020-22年导致数十万人死亡的内战后，紧张局势依然高涨。
阿比先生还在应对两场叛乱。一场发生在最大的州奥罗米亚（Oromia），在那里，奥罗莫解放军（Oromo Liberation Army）自2018年以来一直在首都周边地区与军队作战。第二场发生在阿姆哈拉（Amhara）地区，由法诺（Fano）领导。
法诺——在阿姆哈拉语中意为“自由战士”——是一个民族民族主义民兵联盟，最近统一为阿姆哈拉法诺国民运动（Amhara Fano National Movement）。其目标范围从修改宪法到推翻联邦政府。在提格雷战争中，该组织被指控侵犯人权。凭借数千名战士，在过去三年中，它作为埃塞俄比亚仅次于奥罗莫人的第二大民族——阿姆哈拉人的捍卫者，建立了强大的名声。
法诺在埃塞俄比亚中北部崎岖且难以进入的高地基地进行战斗。1941年，墨索里尼的殖民军队就在这里被击退并击败。
法诺表示，目前阿姆哈拉与亚的斯亚贝巴政府之间的冲突同样关乎生存。法诺在舍瓦省（Shewa province）的军事行动总指挥Asalif Desta指责埃塞俄比亚军队进行无差别杀戮。 “当他们进入城镇时，他们杀害平民。他们仅仅因为我们的民众是阿姆哈拉人就逮捕他们。他们的无人机瞄准学校、医院和宗教节日，”他说。
法诺战士在舍瓦省进行巡逻，而新招募的士兵在等待命令。在传出攻击消息之际，一名法诺指挥官呼吁平民准备好自卫。

首都亚的斯亚贝巴反映出一个在经济、社会和政治上都在蓬勃发展的国家——这里有宽阔的新建大道、100 栋耸立的高楼和高档餐厅。然而，在距离市区仅几公里的地方，许多学校处于关闭状态，且由于长期的不安全局势，数百万人在六月的选举 3535 中无法投票。
关于首都以外发生的事情，外界知之甚少。国际特赦组织指责政府对独立媒体开展镇压行动。当地和外国记者不被允许自由报道。已有数人被监禁，另一些人则逃往海外。
阿姆哈拉地区仍然是埃塞俄比亚的文化摇篮，浸透在关于军事胜利、女王和皇帝的故事之中。在近期的战争和叛乱之前，来自世界各地的游客会来到这里，惊叹于其教堂、宫殿和自然奇观。我想接触当地的人们，并报道那些因政府对记者的限制而处于阴影之中的现状。

道格·威尔逊（Doug Wilson）是一位来自爱达荷州的牧师和基督教民族主义者，他利用了一个在政治上具有强大影响力的观念，即美国的变化太多、太快了。 MARGARET ALBAUGH / THE GLOBE AND MAIL
教会与国家 尽管有美国宪法，但牧师道格·威尔逊正致力于让美国重新成为基督教国家，他表示，将从一个城镇开始。 NATHAN VANDERKLIPPE 国际记者
他说：“尽管特朗普本人并非福音派基督徒，但政府内部充斥着这类人，”他补充道，“其中许多人也来自我们的圈子。”
他认为，现在是“莫斯科心境”的时代。
几十年来，威尔逊先生一直致力于在美利坚的荒野中徘徊，他是一位寻找会众、追随者，甚至是能为他提供平台的辩论对手的牧师。这位来自爱达荷州的牧师不再是一个在荒野中无人理会的声音。
特朗普先生同样试图否认战后秩序的部分元素，即那个带来了自由贸易、全球卫生与发展机构以及围绕平等权利展开的社会重组的国际自由主义漫长时代。
然而，威尔逊先生以及那些被这种情绪所席卷的日益壮大的群体，认为应该走得更远。他的追随者希望恢复猥亵法，他们认为，无神论是美国人民的一种根本性疾病。而治疗方法只能在绘制
这个国家，强制要求女性穿着端庄，并且会发现他所寻找的东西。他和其他人一样，严格遵守基督教上帝的教义，其中一项就是禁止在儿童周围穿着比基尼。为了实现这一目标，他们正提议对美国民主进行全面的结构性重组，剥夺花了几百年才建立起来的权利，同时停止移民，并大幅削减女性在权威职位上的数量。他们还主张废除《民权法案》——这项具有里程碑意义的立法禁止了多种形式的歧视。有些人甚至公开支持处决通奸者。
数千万民众投票支持特朗普先生恢复美国某种过去状态的承诺，他们通过移民抗议人口结构的变化，通过保护少数群体利益的政策抗议社会变革。
在美国各地，公共宗教研究所（Public Religion Research Institute）在今年早些时候发布的一份报告中发现，三分之一的家庭要么信奉、要么同情基督教民族主义。超过一半的每周教堂礼拜者认同这些观点，而在白人福音派新教徒中，这一比例高达三分之二。
这些想法在那些认为自己的国家如果回到过去会更好的人群中得到了认可。
威尔逊先生拥有一套基于16世纪新教改革者思想的神学体系。他的教会赞美诗集里充满了18世纪的歌曲，其歌词旨在支持美国在诞生之初就激烈拒绝的大英帝国。他坚持持有一些随着时间推移而与大众愈发格格不入的信念：女性不应被允许投票，投票权应保留给家庭（通常由男性领导）；同性恋者应实践禁欲；美国应该是一个基督教国家，对其他信仰的人持有敌意，城镇中不应出现宣礼塔和印度教雕像。那些与他意见不合的人被他称为“不宽容者”。那些穿着令他反感的女性被他嘲讽为“卡通甜甜圈”、“荡妇”、“放荡者”、“小胸脯老太婆”，而且更糟糕的是，他一边这样羞辱，一边传讲着他所谓的希望女性成为“家庭主妇并乐在其中”的福音。
然而，莫斯科（Moscow）的那种氛围，尽管对某些人来说很有吸引力，但也在考验这场反抗的极限。选民们愿意将时钟拨回多久？他们会在什么时候退缩？这个问题将影响未来美国政治的方向——以及更直接地影响今年11月的中期选举。
直到现在，最狂热的基督教民族主义者在赢得国家最低级别的政治职位方面一直表现出无能。他们的扩张努力遭到了强烈的当地反对。
这种观点浸透了怀旧情绪，与一种政治上强有力的观念不谋而合，即美国在接纳性别不符合整齐二元论的人群、以及为那些不向基督教上帝屈膝的人提供空间方面，变化得太多、太快了。
地理位置也将他置于边缘。他在爱达荷州东部农村地区的莫斯科市建立了他的教会，那里远离最近的城市，甚至远离最近的州际公路。几十年来，威尔逊先生在一个对他几乎不予理会的国家中扮演着基督教民族主义者。然而，这位爱达荷州的传教士不再是荒野中的孤声。在20世纪90年代，他计算
三个由他创立的加尔文宗教派——改革福音教会（Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches）的会众。如今，他的规模已达到 170，全球教会成员数以万计，其中也包括在加拿大。播客主和YouTuber正将他的基督教品牌带给新的受众。开发商正在田纳西州农村等地收购土地，以建立由持有这些观点的人组成的社区。年轻夫妇——男性大多蓄须，女性大多穿着长裙——正挤满教堂的圣所。其中一座位于华盛顿，这是一座新教堂，其会众包括美国国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）以及十多名特朗普政府成员，其中许多人来自五角大楼。今年2月，威尔逊先生受邀前往那里祈祷——这位基督教民族主义者现在处于该国权力的核心。威尔逊先生称这一切是美国的一个新时刻，因为他在爱达荷州发展起来的哲学正在首都及更远的地方生根发芽。华盛顿的礼拜“才开始一年多。这意味着，就教会植入而言，这是极大的成功。所以——非常满意。非常高兴，”爱达荷州的莫斯科（Moscow）是爱达荷州东部农村地区的一个小城市，威尔逊先生在那里建立了他的教会。MARGARET ALBAUGH / THE GLOBE AND MAIL 周六， 8, 2026 / THE GLOBE AND MAIL 新闻 / A17 那些被判定犯有谋杀、强奸、猥亵儿童以及可能包括通奸罪的人，将被公开处决。他说，谈到国土法律，唯一的护栏“在我看来就是神圣的经文”。在离纳什维尔不远的地方，另一组人正致力于用木材和混凝土将这一愿景变为现实。他们同时也引发了抵制。无人机摄像头飞过一条潺潺的小溪，来到一片绿意盎然、森林环绕且鸟鸣阵阵的田纳西农田。这里空旷但诱人，乔什·阿博托伊（Josh Abbotoy）希望这里有一天能成为一群志同道合的基督徒的农村家园。规划显示，其核心将是一座由安德鲁·伊斯克（Andrew Isker）担任牧师的教堂，伊斯克曾在威尔逊先生在莫斯科创办的学校学习，并曾与这位爱达荷州牧师共事。任何愿意买入的教区居民都可以在该教堂旁建造自己的房屋，从而创建一个将周日聚会转化为日常生活的社区。阿博托伊先生所销售的，是将那些吸引他人加入威尔逊先生教会的思想转化为房地产，在现代寻找古老的模式。阿博托伊先生创办的公司RidgeRunner已经购买了几个房产。威尔逊先生曾被斥为过时
肯塔基州和田纳西州，厌女且或许甚至是异端的。批评者认为威尔逊先生所设想的国家类似于塔利班统治下的政权。爱达荷大学莫斯科分校的政治学荣休教授尼古拉斯·吉尔（Nicholas Gier）表示，这是一个代表“失控的父权制”的运动。吉尔曾在威尔逊先生就读期间担任其教师。
不过，威尔逊先生认为他的计划完全没有那么激进，仅仅是回归到进步时代黎明之前的时刻。他说：“在我听来，这就像是1942年的美国。我们失去了太多。在20世纪中期，在一切分崩离析之前，我们是一个坚定的西方工业化基督教国家。”
他决心夺回这一切。他表示，这“关乎基督教民族主义”以及“将美国回归到我们的基督教根源”。
伊斯克先生是一位在爱达荷州接受培训的牧师，他已经搬到了这里，像美国总统一样，不惧于挑战主流思想。他主张远程监督的“公开体罚”，希望取消无过错离婚，并称高等教育为“年轻女性的同性恋共产主义工厂”。他希望女性退出军队，将普选权比作“文明自杀”，并曾在社交媒体上写道：“废除20世纪。”
阿博托伊先生也表达了类似的观点。在社交媒体上，他暗示基督教独裁统治的时机已经到来。他在X上写道：“基本上，美国将需要一个新教佛朗哥。”他补充说，基督教应该是“美国的公共正统”。
但在面对面交流时，他展现出了另一种风貌，让人体会到为什么有些人觉得废除现代性如此令人愉悦。对于海姆斯先生来说，这在心理上迅速地从一种宗教觉醒转向了一种政治觉醒。
在一个纳什维尔北部郊区的周日早晨，信徒们聚集在朝圣山改革团契（Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship）。访客们在微笑和赞美诗的迎接下进入。过去，他们可能还会遇到对主流福音派教会持有某种看法的人。海姆斯先生在离开田纳西州之前，曾搬到这里加入朝圣山教会。他在此之前曾与海格塞斯先生会面，后者在成为国家最具影响力的男性之一之前，曾将这座教会视为家。即使在担任国防部长之前，这座教会以及属于威尔逊先生教派的其他教会就拥有另一种力量：青春。教堂的长椅上坐满了年轻夫妇和孩子。
七十多岁的威尔逊先生开玩笑说，在创立之初，这个国家就是新教国家。“这是我们的历史，这是我们的”

（正文续） 肯塔基州和田纳西州，有空间建造100栋房屋。他说，客户正在到来，其中一半来自“加利福尼亚州。很多人来自湾区。”
“你的工作越是虚拟化，你就越觉得需要用一种非常真实且简朴的生活方式来抵消这一点，”他说。
对于阿博托伊先生来说，盖恩斯博罗似乎是一个理想之地。这个拥有1,000人的小镇是杰克逊县的所在地，在2024年，有超过80%的选票投给了特朗普先生。
“遗产，”他说道。一个令人震惊的悖论：新一代年轻人因对旧有方式的信仰而聚集在一起，而他教会中成员的平均年龄为12。
这种认为美国从根本上是一个基督教项目的观念远非既定事实，其他文件（包括美国宪法）对此持有相反观点，宪法中并未提及基督教，仅规定国会应让宗教独立。
海姆斯先生对此并不担心。“我相信这就是能拯救美国的神学，”他说。
他致力于传播这一理念，通过播客、视频和定期的社交媒体评论，他表示，其综合数字受众达数十万人。对于那些准备倾听的人，他提出了基督教美国如何纠正自由主义错误的方法。
他称《民权法》是对美国生活的一次违宪重写，强迫国家进行种族融合。他说，移民应完全停止20年，“也许100”。潜在公民应受到“薄冰政策”的约束——任何被视为损害“我们的文化，我们的生活方式”的违规行为都将导致他们被迅速驱逐。投票权应限于“已婚、拥有土地且能追溯三代公民身份的男性”。死刑应立即[...OMITTED...]
一座简单的建筑，配备了一个播客工作室，以及精选的威士忌和几桶私酿酒，他向早期的定居者们斟上一轮酒并沉思。其中一位是约书亚·海姆斯（Joshua Haymes），一个在俄克拉荷马州长大的南方浸信会牧师之子。五年前，他还是一个从事传教工作的年轻人，试图在洛杉矶建立一座新教堂，试图在自由城市传播基督教福音。
随后疫情爆发，随之而来的封锁和限制让他愤怒。主流教会的反应让他更加愤怒。许多会众停止了面对面集会，听从政府减缓冠状病毒传播的号召。海姆斯先生希望他们反抗。那些未能这样做的人，他认为，是想表现得体面而非正确。
“那是教会的机会，在所有文化动荡和文化混乱中成为坚定的支持者，坚守圣经真理。而他们没有，”他说。
就在那时，他注意到了威尔逊先生，后者拒绝在疫情期间取消服务。公共卫生部门称这些行为鲁莽且无法无天。海姆斯先生则成了坚定的反对者。
“他们一到这里就开始酿这个东西，”他在啜饮透明的烈酒时说道，这种酒至今仍在当地酿造并在朋友之间交易。“就像是，首先要做什么？‘我要建一座教堂，一所学校和一个私酿酒厂。’”他纳闷，怎么会有人对此有异议？
如果有人觉得这个愿景具有吸引力，那么那就是雷恩·加洛韦（Rayn Galloway）。她是一位38岁的白人田纳西州女性，成长在杰克逊县南名莱斯（Nameless）社区，在那里她的父亲用校车和牲畜水槽制造了第一辆消防车。她三次投票给特朗普先生。她相信丈夫是家庭的负责人。她还经营着一家烟花生意。
“天哪，我卖烟火。我简直太‘美国’了，”她说。而且“我是一个 submitted 妻子。如果你想假装我是一个白人基督教民族主义者，那我就是个典型。”
但加洛韦女士反而成了一个坚定的反对者。随着像伊斯克先生这样的人搬进她称之为家的地方，她花费了[...OMITTED...]
花了近 100 小时听播客并阅读该运动公开人物的书籍，并且对她所发现的内容感到深切的不适。“他们想把我们带回内战前的美国。而我看着内战前的美国，心想：‘哇，我想你们并没有真正意识到这意味着什么，’”她说道。她在一家由加纳人和乌干达人出入的教堂长大。她无法想象告诉他们：“你不属于这里，因为这是一个白人国家。”她也不认为法律应该严厉地拒绝堕胎或同性关系。“我认为热爱同性的人应该被监禁，或者生活被撕碎吗？绝对不。”基督教民族主义者说他们想让事物恢复原样。但加洛韦女士对这意味着什么有个人经验。她在一个从事自给自足农场生活的家庭中长大。直到她上 5 年级时，她家的墙壁才完工。“他们向每个人推销的东西，我几乎都经历过，”她说。“就像，你在试图伪装成我那样——但你只是个装模作样的人。”她对新搬来的人如此厌恶，以至于她考虑竞选地方公职，以阻止那些搬到该地区的人获得影响力。住在田纳西州无名镇（Nameless）的雷恩·加洛韦（Rayn Galloway）是威尔逊先生运动的坚定反对者。 ALAN POIZNER / THE GLOBE AND MAIL 接 A18 页 A18 美国 环球邮报 / 2026年8月8日 星期六 肯特·伯德韦尔（Kent Birdwell）在田纳西州惠特利维尔（Whitleyville）被拍到，他表示社区中出现的“莫斯科氛围”令他担忧。 ALAN POIZNER / THE GLOBE AND MAIL 接 A17 页 财产，”柯林斯先生说。他被说服了。这不需要太多努力：县委员在初选中仅凭 56 票就获胜过。 “他们可能是纳粹，”他说，但“我没看到这一点。” 但即使是小规模的抗议行动也可能产生后果。在盖恩斯伯勒（Gainesboro）及附近城镇，一群当地居民（其中一些人与该地区有深厚的历史渊源）决心让他们的社区对基督教民族主义不友好。 有一次，人们在盖恩斯伯勒的 Dairy Queen 餐厅举行静坐，占据了新搬来的基督教民族主义者预定举行圣经学习会议的座位。商会拒绝了 RidgeRunner 的会员申请。当地县共和党的负责人对此持批评态度。
毕竟，是田纳西州投下了通过第 19 修正案的决定性一票。现在，这里有些人难以理解为何会出现推翻该修正案的欲望。
“这简直是让 100 年的进步倒退，”肯特·伯德韦尔说道，他的家族是该地区最古老的家族之一。他的曾祖父和曾叔祖于 1916 年创办了一家社区银行。该家族的土地靠近 RidgeRunner 的其中一块房产。一名注册共和党人，伯德韦尔买下了房产以防止它们落入 RidgeRunner 之手。
当地投资者担心他的家乡已成为新一代决心抹除数十年社会成就者的试验场，社区中的三个人告诉了《环球邮报》。他能感觉到那种“莫斯科氛围”——而这令他担忧。“他们的信仰与普通大众如此格格不入，”退休的 简·福库姆（Jane Forkum）说道。
“如果社区不能变得更加自觉，并有勇气发声，我们就会被取代，”伯德韦尔先生（Mr. Birdwell）说道，“基督教民族主义者可以做到，然而，我们对此心知肚明。”
在NuArt电影院对面的餐厅里，一面彩虹旗代表着包容。NuArt是由威尔逊先生拥有的剧院，放映基督教和世俗电影，去年还接待了查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）。这些细节也表明了当地的支持。“既然他们在那里没有成功，他们就会尝试在这里取得成功。”
泰隆·鲍曼（Tyrone Bowman）是一名在制造业工作的当地居民，他将自己的家乡视为逃离大城市问题的避风港，因为在那些城市，“他们想在图书馆里放一本古兰经，但你却不能放一本圣经。这完全是颠倒了。”在他看来，“基督教价值观是他们带到这里的东西，”鲍曼先生说，“我不认为这是一件坏事。”
其他教会也在谴责威尔逊先生（Mr. Wilson）的信念。美国改革教会（Reformed Church in America）在6月中旬宣布，基督教民族主义是“与耶稣基督的福音相对立的”。该教会表示：“我们的使命是通过说服而非强迫来影响公共领域。”
与此同时，基督教民族主义的政治印记正变得愈发清晰。在附近的塞利纳镇（Celina），RidgeRunner公司向一座退伍军人纪念碑捐款，市长卢克·柯林斯（Luke Collins）非常担心这家公司代表了什么，以至于他直接走进其办公室要求得到答案。
他直截了当地问他们是否讨厌黑人，是否讨厌犹太人。他们告诉他，他们不讨厌任何人。
但也有人持怀疑态度。肯顿·伯德（Kenton Bird）是一位退休的新闻学教授，他在莫斯科关注当地政治已有数十年。目前，至少莫斯科的情绪正在增强。这种情况正发生在立法机构中，就像在博伊西（Boise）那样，那里已经通过了法律，强制要求教师在发现孩子出现性别转变迹象时通知家长。而且该州已请求最高法院推翻使同性婚姻合法化的裁决。
1985年秋天，一名年轻的传教士在爱达荷州莫斯科市竞选市议员。道格·威尔逊（Doug Wilson）此前已通过尝试（但未能成功）禁止当地商店销售色情制品而小有名气。他曾要求市议会强迫店主隐藏任何他们销售的色情物品。他认为该市还应制定淫秽行为的法律定义，从而迈向监管淫秽内容的一步。
威尔逊先生在当地政治圈的努力几乎没有取得成效。没有一名教会成员在莫斯科市议会或县委员会中担任职务。当地政治家想不起任何一名基督教教会代表被选入任何公职。
但其他人对此持怀疑态度。在附近的塞利纳镇，威尔逊先生是六名候选人之一。当票数统计出来时，他排名垫底。
“如果你在爱达荷州莫斯科市都做不到，你打算如何夺回美国？”加利福尼亚州威斯敏斯特神学院（Westminster Seminary in California）的神学教授迈克尔·霍顿（Michael Horton）问道。
这位年轻的牧师将注意力转向在内部建立他的教会社区，构建一个曾被Politico称为“神权政体”的帝国，并将莫斯科作为其首都。
他认为威尔逊先生的野心在很大程度上取决于MAGA运动以及华盛顿目前的权力。
政权。”
但经过半个世纪的追求，他并不确信这种情况会一直持续。吉尔先生（Mr. Gier）表示，这意味着在爱达荷州以及其他地方，向基督教民族主义迈进的趋势“已经在发生”。
一些候选人也正获得新的力量。5月下旬，得到威尔逊先生（Mr. Wilson）公开支持的爱达荷州保守派人士科尔顿·本内特（Colton Bennett）赢得了一场初选，成为该州立法机构的共和党候选人。当被问及是否属于与威尔逊先生相关的教会会众时，他拒绝回答，称他的支持者“出入于各种不同的教堂，有些人根本不去教堂。我对所有这些人——无论是否有宗教信仰——的支持都心存感激，”他说道。
但吉尔先生称本内特的当选是“他们的重大胜利”。在爱达荷州的这个地区，预计他将“轻松赢得胜利”。
威尔逊先生则表示，让教会进入市议会目前还不是目标——尽管未来会是。他说：“计划是在未来50年内将莫斯科（Moscow）建立成一座基督教城镇。我想说我们正按计划进行。”到那时，他预计当地一半的人口将在周日前往教堂，这是将美国打造为基督教超级大国所采取的众多步骤之一。
起初，他的教会中在莫斯科只有30人。现在该地区的人数已是当时的100倍。孩子们就读于基督教学校，学习基督教教科书，并在基督教教练的指导下踢基督教足球——这些教练全部是男性，威尔逊先生说，因为“男孩们不会听”女性的话。
他回忆起自己在20世纪80年代通过书籍构建的愿景。“现在，我能亲眼看到它了，”他说。“我能看到它将如何成形，因为我正看到它在成形。”
尼古拉斯·吉尔（Nicholas Gier）在莫斯科市中心被采访，他是爱达荷大学的政治学荣休教授。他此前曾担任威尔逊先生的老师，他表示其前学生的这场运动代表了“失控的父权制”。

福奇的蔑视票反映了新冠疫情持久的政治影响 政治学家和历史学家表示，对委屈的关注表明某些创伤从未愈合
ALI SWENSON 纽约
安东尼·福奇博士（Dr. Anthony Fauci）坐在国会面前，小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）在电视上辩论新冠封锁，而美国人无法就信任什么样的科学达成一致。你可能会认为回到了2020年。
在新冠肺炎（COVID-19）将世界推入全球大流行病的恐惧与不确定性六年之后，掌权的共和党人并未将其留在过去。相反，他们将那些熟悉的政治争论重新推向舞台中心以进行新的审查，要求那些他们认为在多年前欺骗并虐待美国人的科学家和媒体人物承担责任。
上周，这种努力升级。由肯塔基州参议员兰德·保罗（Rand Paul）主持的共和党领导的参议院委员会传唤了现已退休、85岁的福奇博士，就其处理新冠肺炎大流行的情况作证。这位前美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的免疫学家多次援引第五修正案——
安东尼·福奇博士离开
情绪。像肯尼迪先生这样的人认为人们正在死去。在指责立法者试图强迫他自残以证明刑事指控后，他向参议院全体会议作证。他表示他不想在那些立法者身上“浪费时间”。在出席上周的听证会后，曾是反疫苗运动领导人的肯尼迪指责参议院国土安全和联邦政府事务委员会践踏个人自由，支持疫苗强制令以及社交媒体对异见观点的打压。特朗普的白宫还直接引导社交媒体追随者访问一个联邦网站，该网站曾提供关于COVID疫苗的信息，现在传播COVID-19疫苗的测试和治疗。另外，肯尼迪先生是一位政治独立的前反疫苗活动人士，现任共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普的卫生部长，他推广一种理论，认为大流行始于实验室泄漏。许多科学家认为，该病毒最有可能在自然界中出现并从动物传播给人类，这在中文城市武汉的一个野生动物市场传播时被揭露。目前没有科学证据支持该病毒可能从实验室泄漏的理论，而保罗先生对此持支持态度。一个由共和党领导的、研究该问题的分委员会在讨论中认为，该理论在某种程度上起到了作用。
听证会当天是7月29日，在华盛顿举行。上周的听证会上，福奇博士援引了第五修正案，尽管这位免疫学家多年来多次在国会面前露面，并就大流行初期的思考以及随时间推移而产生的变化进行了讨论。批评者担心，围绕他的这场折磨将使科学家因担心受到类似针对而不敢在政府部门任职。
周四，该委员会通过投票决定对福奇博士采取藐视行为的处罚，这一惊人之举可能会促使司法部启动调查。
虽然特朗普先生长期以来对他第一任期内的“曲速行动”（Operation Warp Speed）感到自豪，认为该行动迅速推广了疫苗，挽救了数百万人的生命，但他的第二任期采取了不同的基调。在肯尼迪先生的领导下，美国监管机构限制了美国人获得COVID-19疫苗的机会。肯尼迪先生在周末的一部分时间里与CNN主持人达娜·巴什（Dana Bash）就大流行的管理和媒体的角色进行了激烈的现场辩论。他在周日的CNN节目中质疑COVID-19疫苗是否保护了儿童，尽管疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）在其网站上表示，这些疫苗“有助于防止儿童患严重的COVID-19”。
保罗先生长期以来一直主张应对福奇博士进行刑事调查，理由是他认为这位科学家在关于国家卫生研究院（NIH）资助的研究和COVID起源的问题上对国会不够诚实。福奇博士的律师上周称保罗先生的指控是[...OMITTED...]
政治学家和历史学家表示，在病毒高峰过去五年后，仍然关注COVID相关的委屈，表明当时开启的一些伤口从未愈合。与此同时，民主党人则猛烈抨击了弗朗西斯[...OMITTED...]
普林斯顿大学政治学家李（Lee）表示，联邦政府将福西博士（Dr. Fauci）视为一种表演性的噱头，且并非基于事实。
现在，由于一些此前在边缘地带就 COVID-19 起源问题争论多年的人已掌握权力，他们正在国家舞台上公开讨论这些问题——李认为，这并非真正寻求真相的必要之举。
罗恩·约翰逊（Ron Johnson）参议员周四表示，肯尼迪（Kennedy）的部门向其提交了一份福西博士在政府任职期间使用的手机副本。约翰逊表示，他打算对其进行调查。
他表示，虽然一些共和党人认为福西博士犯了罪，“但对 COVID-19 的反应已成为特朗普共和党在期中选举年的一个基调——旨在将选民的注意力从经济和外交冲突等不利局面中转移开。”达莱克（Dallek）表示。
“他们现在利用权力来证明自己一直以来都是正确的。”
——以及保罗（Paul）上周决定公开这些内容的决定——为多年来首次真正审视疫情处理方式创造了机会。
虽然其中一些条目——福西博士在政府电脑上记录的众多日记条目——被肯尼迪决定公开，但李认为这并非必要。
许多人否认共和党的疫情调查是真诚的
共和党人对福西博士的审查虽然被部分人士视为重要的问责，但民主党人则称其为“虚假且可耻的”。
2024 年的一项调查发现，没有证据表明福西博士有不当行为。150 多位传染病专家也为福西博士辩护，写道“没有可靠的证据支持这些荒谬的指控”。
福西博士长期以来公开表示，他对两种理论都持开放态度，但有更多证据支持 COVID-19 的自然起源。
美国企业研究所（American Enterprise Institute）的诺姆·奥恩斯坦（Norm Ornstein）表示，共和党接管国会和白宫的情况，为这些争论在去年创造了一个新平台，让他们能够引导美国如何反思这场大流行病，以及谁应对此负责。
乔治·华盛顿大学政治学家马特·达莱克（Matt Dallek）认为，COVID-19 的争论多年来一直在边缘地带爆发。
“存在一些受损方，一些人觉得自己在疫情期间受到了不公正对待，而且从未对此得到交代，”李说。“大多数人不想思考这个话题，但……”。
奥恩斯坦说：“他们一直在寻找一个平台，让他们能够攻击他，而他则无法回应，或者一遍又一遍地说‘行使第五修正案权利（拒绝作证）’。”他还表示，这让他们能够利用那些在上周听证会上拒绝回答问题的人。
关于疫情的不满情绪已酝酿多年
由于一些共和党议员并未在藐视国会投票中止步，参议员罗恩·约翰逊周四表示，肯尼迪的部门向其提交了一份福西博士在政府任职期间使用的手机副本。约翰逊表示，他打算对其进行调查。
“希望这个设备能提供……”
明尼苏达大学的流行病学家迈克尔·奥斯特霍姆（Michael Osterholm）表示，从这场大流行病中学习确实有重要原因。
包括更深入地审查哪些遏制病毒的努力奏效了，哪些没有奏效。当冠状病毒在2020年开始广泛传播时，在特朗普的第一任政府领导下，关于如何最佳地遏制病毒的讨论——包括福西博士在疫情早期的不确定性——已经体现在其2024年的回忆录和采访中，但民主党人指责他 disingenuous。
与此同时，一些美国群体对当地政府和企业强制要求人们佩戴口罩和居家以控制病毒传播的政策感到愤怒，这些政策引起了那些认为这些措施侵犯了他们权利的人的关注。
保罗先生周四表示，他曾邀请福西博士参加一次私下的、有记录的会面，但他表示国会中的共和党人并非在追求那些。
“对修正主义历史的审查将毫无结果，”他说。“对于下一次大流行，我们也不会有更好的准备。”
保罗先生还将委员会的蔑视投票直接提交给司法部，而不是交给国会决定，这并非执行部门的“自我救赎”问题，法院写道。特朗普先生表示，他已经从公司和富有的个人（包括他本人）那里筹集了数亿美元，用于支付建设费用，并没有使用公共资金。
“他说我需要国会的批准，而他错了，”特朗普先生在3月表示。

一名联邦上诉法院周五命令特朗普政府停止建设其耗资 $400-million 的舞厅，该舞厅位于林肯纪念堂和阿灵顿国家公墓之间一个交通环岛上的位置。
国家公园管理局的一项评估发现，特朗普先生提议建造的一座 76-metre 高的凯旋门可能会损害其计划地点附近数十个遗址的历史意义。
在一次 2-1 的裁决中，法院认为该项目缺乏国会批准。
“这次裁决与拟建舞厅是否理想，或是否属于政策问题完全无关。这一裁决甚至并不一定意味着被告最终不能建造该舞厅。”
“它的意思是，”法院
特朗普房间，上诉法院支持了美国地区法官理查德·西尔弗（Richard Silver）此前针对舞厅作出的裁决。该裁决是针对那些起诉以阻止这座庞大建筑施工的历史保护主义者的。这座建筑已开始在地面上显现，根据该地点的最新航拍照片，法院在去年秋天已下令将其拆除。
美国哥伦比亚特区上诉法院的一个三法官小组在周五的决定中表示，该裁决肯定了“美国人民就他们珍视的地方（包括白宫）表达意见的权利”。
在今年早些时候，下级法院下令停止地面施工后，总统辩称，获得国会允许建造舞厅是不必要的，因为
Plate & Sterling, 并不拥有单方面建造一座 8,400 平方米舞厅的权力，而该舞厅位于白宫东翼，位于白宫东侧。因为宪法和法律要求必须获得国会的授权。
发起此次诉讼的非营利组织——国家历史保护信托基金会（The National Trust for Historic Preservation）表示，法院将暂缓其裁决两周，以给政府时间向美国最高法院提出上诉。
白宫或特朗普先生未立即对此发表评论。周五的裁决标志着本周政府第二次因建设方案而成为新闻头条。

莫琳·哈卢沙克带着希望离开《Chatelaine》 离任主编将这家加拿大出版物描述为“一种社区形式” 安·辉（ANN HUI） 世代记者
近一个世纪以来，《Chatelaine》一直是加拿大每个家庭的必备品。自 1928 年以来，无论是在地铁上塞在女性的手提包里，还是整齐地堆放在医生的办公室里，这本杂志一直静静地记录着加拿大女性的故事，从避孕药的兴起到争取同工同酬的斗争。
上个月，该杂志的主编莫琳·哈卢沙克（Maureen Halushak）宣布，在任职七年后她将卸任，并前往加拿大阿尔茨海默病协会（Alzheimer Society of Canada）工作（她的母亲曾患此病）。《环球邮报》采访了哈卢沙克，讨论印刷媒体的现状、她在杂志社看到的变革，以及《》在 2026 年代表了什么。
今天，《》对女性意味着什么？ 我们希望讨论所有对加拿大女性至关重要的问题。几年前在我们的 95 周年纪念活动中，我花了很多时间查阅档案。虽然当下的议题发生了变化，但我们工作的基石——认真对待女性的关切、成为可靠信息的来源——这一点没有改变。这并不意味着它必须由女性独读，但我确实热爱女性杂志这种形式，并喜欢听到其他女性的声音。这是一种社区形式。
[图片：《》主编莫琳·哈卢沙克上个月宣布她将卸任，前往加拿大阿尔茨海默病协会工作。DUANE COLE / THE GLOBE AND MAIL]
您能谈谈其中一些议题吗？ 2026 年的“ 女性”是什么样的？《》的意义是什么。但我认为
如果 现代版本的那个会是什么样子？
“在家庭之外工作？”当我开始工作时，有一段时间人们认为过去的《Chatelaine》将读者视为更从属的角色，家庭领域不那么受尊重。我认为现在，我会将重点放在女性掌权上，思考关于钥匙和钥匙持有者的意义——不仅是持有房屋的钥匙，而是持有世界的钥匙。
如果你在心中只设定一个受众群体，对于你的品牌来说就太局限了。今天，我们认为我们的读者是35岁以上的人群。而且我认为他们想要的是关于女性议题的加拿大视角——既包括严肃的女性议题，也包括很多有趣的内容。
我不希望人们在所有事情上都同意我们。如果你同意你朋友所说的一切，那就太无聊了。我只是想要一场活泼的对话。
这就是杂志所代表的人群吗？一个朋友？
我认为这正是你的朋友——一个分享许多观点，想要讨论女性正在谈论的所有事情的人，无论这些事情是大是小——无论是照顾家人、职业转型，还是贾斯汀和凯蒂·佩里。
你如何看待“女性杂志”这个词？难道不应该每个人都关心影响女性的问题吗？
《Chatelaine》这个名字最初是指女性持有的那一串钥匙。
在杂志早期，有一个很重要的讨论环节。然后出现了避孕药：关于它你需要知道什么，相关的伦理，以及围绕它的决定。我开始工作时签的是一份三个月的合同。我是一个三人事实核查团队的一员。当时杂志一年出12期，每期400多页。
不幸的是，团队规模缩小了。我们现在减少到了四[本印刷版]。
杂志将在2028年庆祝其100岁生日。你对其未来的预测是什么？
我知道《》将继续保留印刷版——这一点在可预见的未来是没有疑问的。但我并不一定认为一个品牌必须保持印刷形式才能保持影响力。我认为《》可以采取多种不同的形式。我热爱印刷品。我们必须永远保持印刷版吗？我不知道。
现在争取关注度和眼球的竞争要激烈得多。归根结底，对于任何媒体品牌来说，我们拥有的只有读者的信任。读者与《》之间有着如此深厚的关系，因此，尊重读者并继续赢得读者的信任是我对《》最美好的愿望。
我想我们必须希望人们能看到可靠信息源的价值。
这次采访经过了删减和编辑。
你能谈谈其中一些现代问题吗？
《》在过去被认为是一个大话题，当时他们有很多资金来做读者调查。“理想读者”是一个名叫罗宾的女性。她34岁，住在郊区，有三个孩子。她留着金色短发。
今天，我认为罗宾这个形象太局限了。
职场性别歧视一直是一个巨大的讨论点。此外，还有婚姻生活、“妻子的职责”以及如何分担家务。不幸的是，一些观点在98年后的今天依然适用。有些问题从未改变，不幸的是。或者它们只是稍微地推进了一点。
我个人认为，现在正是离开的时机。
多丽丝·安德森 [前《》编辑] 写了一本非常精彩的回忆录，叫作《反叛之女》（Rebel Daughter）。在书中，她说有时你必须反复强调一个话题，才能取得进展。我希望有些事情已经变得好一些。就像世界上所有人一样，我也在努力克制玩手机的习惯。
显然人们可以在网上获取食谱，而听到人们从ChatGPT或TikTok之类的地方获取食谱，我感到很心痛。但我热爱女性，我也热爱女性的空间。
今天，除了我之外，我只有三名全职编辑。我们的资源在预算方面确实下降了。但我们仍然在产出令我们深感自豪的内容。
在您开始工作后的20多年里，情况如何？
婚礼季购物烦恼？试试点对点服装租赁 MIRA MILLER
新设计师、新品牌和新风格。这也是参与循环经济的一种方式。
对于经常参加活动的内容创作者来说，穿新衣服的压力可能会导致过度购买和浪费。但像 Rax 这样的平台提供了一种替代方案。
去年1月在马尔代夫度蜜月期间，Al-icia Levy 穿了一件闪亮的粉色短裙，让她感觉自己是最自信、最美丽的。虽然这件衣服是从别人的衣橱里借来的，但非常合身。
这件由 Asta Resort 设计的度假裙零售价为 $405。但在 Rax 这个点对点衣橱租赁应用上，Levy 借用这件衣服 20 天的费用为 $240。（如果租赁期为四天，费用仅为 $150。）
“为每一次活动都买一件不同的裙子，实际上是在推动这种大规模消费，”Levy 表示，“如果我选择租赁，那么我就是在帮助环境，而不是在为这种永无止境的循环做出贡献。”
“我可能不愿去他们的网站直接购买这件裙子，因为价格太高，”Levy 说，“我更有兴趣租赁这件衣服并试穿一下，因为租赁费用仅为售价的一小部分。”
这位来自奥克维尔的商业清洁公司高管兼内容创作者自 Rax 2023 年首次推出以来一直在使用它。该应用允许用户出租自己的衣服，并以远低于零售价的价格从他人衣橱中借用单品。Levy 多年来已从该应用用户那里借用了 13 件不同的单品，同时也出租了自己衣橱里的单品。
创始人 Marley Alles 在 2022 年夏季婚礼季的高峰期想到了 Rax 的概念。她发现自己经常需要为新娘送礼会、单身派对和婚礼寻找新的合身衣服，而市面上负担得起且质量良好的选择似乎很少。租赁平台似乎是一个显而易见的解决方案。
运输由网站负责，退货方式相同。租客还可以选择为单品购买保险，以涵盖轻微的磨损。如果他们没有购买保险且损坏了衣物，则需承担该单品的全部费用。出租者则负责确保单品状态良好。
在蒙特利尔，26 岁的 Cassi-dy Chetrit 经营着一家名为 Grabbed 的小型点对点礼服租赁业务，她通过自己的网站和 Instagram 进行策划和运营。与 Alles 类似，她创办这家公司的灵感源于 2024 年，当时一位朋友表示想借一件一直挂在衣橱深处从未穿过的裙子。
Chetrit 之前已经对她为朋友的活动购买的衣服数量之多，以及市面上负担得起且质量良好的选择之少感到沮丧。租赁平台似乎是一个显而易见的解决方案。
“趋势变动比以往任何时候都快，尤其是快
时尚，”她说。“你可以变得更有冒险精神，”Levy表示。“你更愿意走出舒适区，尝试新的设计师和新风格，因为你不需要完全买断。”
在浏览该应用程序时，租用者可以看到出借者的位置，并决定是亲自上门取件，还是使用该应用程序内置的——
对于那些为了单次活动而购买的单品，这似乎是一个显而易见的解决方案。多年来，她积累了一系列单品。当一位朋友请求借用她衣橱里积灰的众多礼服之一时，她产生了灵感。
“我想，‘我想知道这是否可以在更大规模上实现’，”Alles说。
如今，Rax拥有近10,000名通过该应用程序出借和租用衣服的用户。出借为用户提供了赚取被动收入的机会，根据Alles的说法，有些人通过他们已经拥有的单品赚到了数千加元。
虽然Rax是加拿大唯一一家此类全国性的应用程序，但类似的本地平台已在全国及海外涌现。在纽约，Pickle是环保和财务意识较强的时尚爱好者的热门选择，温哥华和蒙特利尔的Nonni和Grabbed也是如此。
顶部：Rax创始人Marley和Grabbed的客户。
Liz Therrien, 34, 是一名制药销售代表，也是该平台的常客。对于最近的一次工作晚宴，她通过Chetrit的平台租了一件House of Harlow的黑色礼服，价格比零售价低了约80%。
“我觉得自己穿得很得体，而且得到了很多赞美，”她说。“她的所有礼服真的让我感觉很棒。”
在一家小型工作室运营的Chetrit邀请大约4,000名客户在租用前试穿礼服。她与出借者就定价进行协作，价格通常在原价的10 and 30 per cent之间。租用者能以相对低廉的价格尝试新单品。虽然出借者可以自行设定费用，但Rax通常建议定价。
Alles拥有初创公司增长营销的背景，她在2022. 夏天想出了这个服装租赁应用程序的点子。RAX
上方：近10,000名用户通过Rax应用程序出借和租用衣服。

干涸的多瑙河揭露纳粹时代船只 极端高温导致水位下降，使第二次世界大战的残骸暴露
LYNSEY CHUTEL ALISA DOGRAMADZIEVA 塞尔维亚，贝尔格莱德
塞尔维亚本周开始将一支沉没的纳粹时代舰队从多瑙河中打捞出来。由于极端高温导致水位下降，部分船只已经暴露，并给试图绕行避障的船长们带来了麻烦。
在第二次世界大战接近尾声时，德国在塞尔维亚东部的多瑙河中击沉了200多艘自己的船只，试图阻挡沿河推进的苏联军队。
几乎每个夏天，都会有一两艘生锈的船壳出现在水面之上。然而今年，附近港口城镇普拉霍沃（Prahovo）的居民数到了至少十几艘——这是欧洲热浪变得更加频繁且更加残酷的最新可见迹象。
“残骸几乎每年都会出现，有时多，有时少，”当地渔民Igor Skodric说。“但今年的水位极低，所以出现了一些之前没有——
通常每年都会出现。”多瑙河是欧洲第二长河，蜿蜒流经10个国家，从德国的黑森林一直延伸到黑海。周五，在罗马尼亚的拉斯奥瓦（Rasova），人们行走在多瑙河的一片沙洲上，在极低的水位中，通常被淹没的区域现已出露。ANDREEA ALEXANDRU / 美联社
中欧和东欧的创纪录高温导致这条至关重要的航道水位下降，使得航行变得困难。周五，塞尔维亚的气温在35℃至37℃之间波动。
周四，塞尔维亚政府移除了第一艘沉没的纳粹时代船只，这是自2020年开始的一项工作中的一个里程碑，政府当时表示该项工作可能耗资€23-million（约$37-million）。
被德国人击沉的船只包括扫雷舰、巡逻艇和炮舰，以及拖船、运输驳船、登陆艇和各种支援船。根据作者兼纪录片系列《隐藏的多瑙河》（The Hidden Danube）制作人博扬·德拉吉切维奇（Bojan Dragicevic）的说法，这些船只曾是一个护航编队的一部分，在1944, 9月向匈牙利和奥地利撤退回中欧时，利用多瑙河运输部队、人员和设备。
水位下降使得打捞工作变得更加紧迫。由于大部分船队无法通过德尔达普峡谷（Derdap Gorge），也被称为铁门（Iron Gates），位于塞尔维亚和罗马尼亚之间，船长们决定将船只击沉，希望以此减缓向他们推进的苏联军队的速度。历史学家认为，包括巡逻艇、扫雷舰和驳船在内的218艘船只被沉入了河床。
“80年来，我们今天第一次升起了一艘这样的船，现在我们要把它们全部升起来，”塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇（Aleksandar Vucic）周四表示。他补充说，将打捞其中的80艘船，并承诺在水位回升后对塞尔维亚境内的多瑙河水域进行清理，使其“像在维也纳一样清澈”。
水位下降已经减缓了贸易，武契奇上周表示。总理彼得·马扎尔（Peter Magyar）表示，下降的水位几乎迫使帕克斯（Paks）核电站关闭。
部分河段已经
在普拉霍沃（Prahovo），驾驶河船的萨萨·马尔科维奇（Sasa Markovic）在春天注意到多瑙河水位已经很低。马尔科维奇说，他认出了现在可见的几艘船只，包括两艘潜艇的残骸。
德拉吉切维奇先生说：“这些残骸代表了一种时间胶囊。在80多年后，多瑙河仍在揭示尚未被完全讲述的故事。”
国家生态协会（一家非政府组织）创始成员约万诺维奇（Jovanovic）先生说，连续几天的广泛降雨……“不幸的是，目前还没有看到这种天气模式（改变）的迹象。”
运输危险废物的佐兰·拉夫里奇（Zoran Lavric）在沿着多瑙河运输时表示，他预计水位还会进一步下降。

警方表示，该武器被鉴定为大约1944.年的一枚英国海军航空地雷。
成为周四的媒体。在波兰，气温达到了 40 摄氏度以上，总理唐纳德·图斯克敦促公司让员工在家工作或采取预防措施以保护他们。
塞尔维亚尚未正式宣布干旱，但多瑙河的水位比该时间段通常的水位低了大约一米。武契奇先生在上个月的一份声明中开玩笑说：“如果多瑙河再下降 30 厘米，我们就完蛋了。”他告诉气象学家米伦科·约万诺维奇：“也许会有其他东西出现。也许是一个金库。”
小麦、大豆和向日葵等作物也遭受了损失，他说道。
热浪也在该地区的其他国家肆虐。在匈牙利，多瑙河的水位在接下来的两个月里预计会进一步下降。部分河段的水位过浅，以至于当局不得不创建临时航道。
在更上游的地方，斯洛伐克警方引爆了一枚 1,543 磅的第二次世界大战炸弹，该炸弹在多瑙河显现。

在卑尔根以北一小时车程处，沿着一条通往挪威峡湾山麓的双车道公路，有一个旨在拯救地球的项目。位于Øygarden（一个被北海环绕的沿海地区）的Northern Lights项目是全球首个跨境二氧化碳运输和存储枢纽，旨在捕捉工业生产过程中排放的二氧化碳并将其埋藏。该工业园区建在类似于佩吉湾（Peggy’s Cove）的岩石地形上，设有港口、规模如谷仓般的存储罐以及迷宫般的不锈钢管道。
二十年来，挪威一直梦想向世界证明，碳捕捉在科学上是合理的，在经济上也是可行的。在Northern Lights，液态二氧化碳通过船只运抵，存储在巨型
第一艘运送碳存储的船只于2025年6月抵达。一年后，该设施目前接收来自两个合作伙伴的液态二氧化碳：位于Brevik的Heidelberg Materials水泥厂和奥斯陆附近的一个废水系统，并已达成协议，将在未来几年内接收来自瑞典、荷兰和丹麦另外三个排放源的运输货物。
从一开始，石油公司就参与其中。虽然挪威政府通过一个名为Gassnova的独立机构监督开发，但挪威石油天然气公司Equinor与壳牌（Shell）以及法国道达尔能源（TotalEnergies）共同投资该项目。

可能改变加拿大经济未来的24小时 詹姆斯·布拉德肖 (JAMES BRADSHAW) 斯蒂芬妮·莱维茨 (STEPHANIE LEVITZ)
对于加拿大来说，这是一个罕见的时刻。加拿大将有24小时的时间尝试说服一群被聚集在一起的世界金融权力经纪人，让他们相信这个国家已经准备好迎接更多投资。
联邦政府必须说服这群听众，并设定一个雄心勃勃的议程，以在五年内吸引5000亿加元的新私人部门投资，并加速推进被认为对国家至关重要的能源和基础设施项目。如果操作得当，这可以发出一个信号，表明加拿大正处于一条更具雄心的经济道路上，并且认真对待解决那些阻碍国内外投资进入加拿大企业和基础设施的障碍。
在多伦多一家豪华酒店的房间里，预计将聚集起通常只在达沃斯、瑞士或洛杉矶才会大规模聚集的人群。
这次仅限受邀者参加的活动的嘉宾名单尚未最终确定，但峰会有望迎来来自近100个全球投资机构以及28个国家的高管——包括来自中东和亚洲的主要基金，这些基金合计管理资产近120万亿加元。
预计将有约250人出席，其中大部分是来自国外和加拿大的首席执行官和高级管理人员。
房间里将出现Blackstone Inc.总裁Jonathan Gray，BlackRock Inc.董事长兼首席执行官Larry Fink，以及他们的数十位同行。
此外，还将有来自Berkshire Hathaway Inc.的高管，以及全球最大银行摩根大通（JPMorgan Chase & Co.）的高管。
首届加拿大投资峰会（Canada Investment Summit）定于9月14日和15日在多伦多举行。这将是该国首次举办此类活动，计划在约六个月后举行。
此次峰会将在多伦多国际电影节如火如荼进行、城市因名人而沸腾之际举行。

你可能已经赚钱了 “重回正轨”：论牛市。这里有如何守住收益的方法
恭喜！很有可能你刚刚享受了利润丰厚的几年。如果你持有加拿大或美国的股票，你几乎肯定拥有巨额收益。没有人知道今天的繁荣何时会熄灭，但现在的问题是如何守住这些收益。
如果股市历史能证明任何事情，那就是繁荣不会持久。20世纪60年代的股票狂热让位于阴郁且具有通货膨胀的70年代。20世纪90年代的互联网泡沫随后引发了2000年代初的股市崩盘，接着是2008.年的全球金融危机。但投资者应该记住大局。过去五年的市场回报在历史上是不寻常的。
没有人知道今天的繁荣何时会熄灭，但半导体股票和其他AI相关领域的过高估值和剧烈交易波动表明，我们正接近这场牛市的终局。
当然，股票表现依然良好。加拿大的S&P / TSX综合指数和基于美国的S&P 500指数本周均飙升至创纪录高点。

Movember名人堂成员发起新倡议 父子俩共同启动名人堂项目，使其成为该国前20大筹款活动之一。
“我感到非常震惊且谦卑，”他回忆道。
在入职仪式期间，他与该慈善机构的全球领导层讨论了一个想法。
他的儿子乔恩（Jon）也参与到了Movember中，他们讨论了应对男性心理健康问题日益增长的需求。乔恩的一位朋友死于自杀，佩基特先生（Mr. Peckitt）认为，必须打破许多男性在讨论心理健康时感到的耻辱感。他建议发起“父子挑战赛”（Father and Son Challenge）——
组织者：杰弗里·佩基特（Jeffrey Peckitt） 方案：启动Movember的“父子挑战赛” 目标：提高对男性心理健康的关注
PAUL WALDIE
大约两年前，杰弗里·佩基特（Jeffrey Peckitt）接到了他医生打来的一通电话。他被告知患有 4 期喉癌。
68 岁的佩基特先生在多伦多的家中回忆道，他经历了数日的抑郁，并被“永远无法牵着女儿走过婚礼红毯，或永远无法见到孙辈的阴影”所困扰。
在确诊一周后，佩基特先生见到了肿瘤科医生，结果显示情况良好。“我们看到它在你的喉咙里，”他们告诉他，“我们看到它转移到了你的淋巴结。我认为这简直就是生死攸关的问题。”
手术以及在玛格丽特公主医院（Princess Margaret hospital）经过几轮治疗后，佩基特先生的癌症进入了缓解期。“我很庆幸它是 2 期，但有一个前提，那就是它没有转移到其他地方。”他补充道，结果显示是 2 期，而不是 4 期。
大约在同一时间，佩基特先生接到了 Movember 全球慈善机构加拿大分会官员的一个意外电话，邀请他参与“父子挑战”（Father and Son Challenge），作为 Movember 年度筹款活动的一部分。“这不是一场竞争，”他说，“而是关于彼此交流，与儿子交流，与他的学校交流——给家人和朋友写信。让我们敞开心扉，彼此交流，让更多人参与进来。”
该慈善机构同意了，加拿大将成为首个在今年秋季举办该挑战赛的国家。
佩基特先生非常感谢这个为男性健康计划筹款的机会。他长期以来一直是 Movember 的筹款人，自 2010. 年以来筹集了超过 $100,000。该分会宣布将把这一挑战全球化。更重要的是，他补充道，“我们希望向年轻男性保证，在人生最黑暗的时刻寻求他人帮助并不丢人。”

Saputo 计划扩大生产以满足蛋白质需求 KATE HELMORE 农业与食品政策记者
总部位于蒙特利尔的乳制品生产商 Saputo Inc. 正试图抓住“蛋白质最大化”（protein-maxxing）的趋势，计划扩大其在加拿大的生产规模。
这家乳业巨头正处于利用消费者对高蛋白食品需求的有利位置，首席执行官卡尔·科利扎（Carl Colizza）在周五上午讨论公司第一季度业绩的电话会议中表示。
蛋白质的消费需求体现在进入货架的一系列新产品中。2020 年至 2025, 年之间，市场上的高蛋白奶昔和饮料数量增长了 122%。
结果是由蛋白质成分（如乳清蛋白）的昂贵制造费用以及高蛋白成分的销量增长驱动的。根据美国农业部的资料，乳清蛋白的价格自 2025, 年初以来上涨了 162%。
提高售价旨在减轻通胀压力，同时也导致 Saputo 在美国业务的第一季度出现轻微下降，公司称。该公司的美国营收为 $2.1, 与去年同期相比下降了 1%。高蛋白成分价格的上涨缓解了这一跌幅，高管们表示。
Saputo 出售了其在阿根廷乳制品业务 80% 的股份。
“增加生产的障碍是……”
总部位于蒙特利尔的 Saputo 在第一季度以 7.1 亿加元（税后 6.12 亿加元）出售了其在阿根廷乳制品业务 80% 的股份，并计划在今年剩余时间内将资本分配给浓缩乳清、茅屋奶酪和高蛋白即饮产品的加工。该公司还在加大对高蛋白成分的研发投入，并提高加拿大和美国业务的效率。
在计入阿根廷乳制品业务出售额后，持续经营业务的调整后收益为 1.99 亿加元，或每股 0.49 加元，而去年同期为 1.76 亿加元，或每股 0.42 加元。
该公司在周四收盘后公布了第一季度财务业绩。调整后收益为 1815亿加元，或每股 0.45 加元，高于 S&P Capital IQ 汇总的分析师平均预期。
营收增长至 44 亿加元，比去年同期增长 1.5%。
“这是一次结构性变化，”Mr. Colizza 在谈到消费者对蛋白质的需求时表示，这在社交媒体上是一个热门话题，高摄入量被称为“蛋白质最大化”（protein-maxxing）。“这不是一种趋势，因此我们放心地将人才、时间和资金投入到创新中。”
然而，如果 Saputo 希望利用蛋白质热潮，它将不得不面对乳清和奶酪之间具有挑战性的动态关系，Mr. Colizza 表示。这是因为对乳清的需求可能会影响奶酪价格。乳清是制造奶酪的副产品。加工商在很大程度上无法跟上蛋白质需求的增长。根据美国农业部（USDA）的报告，美国乳清供应商在 2024 年第一季度的库存已售罄。
Mr. Colizza 还指出了即将公布的关于加拿大发酵产品（包括酸奶、开菲尔和酸奶油）投资的公告。
CHRISTOPHER KATSAROV / THE CANADIAN PRESS
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. 周五表示，计划将其公司总部迁至美国，使管理层更接近其大部分业务，并希望通过这一战略举措在更大的市场中吸引更多对指数基金等被动投资工具的需求。
尽管如此，此举在加拿大可能不受欢迎，尤其是在当前的政治和贸易环境下。
这一重新注册计划是与第二季度业绩报告一同公布的，报告显示净收益同比下降 67%。

特朗普再次尝试在周五下午解雇美联储的 Cook。美国最高法院此前阻止了其尝试。
在2025年揭露美国总统，蒙特利尔则在过去六个月中低于10%，远低于2021年最后一次冲击时超过$20的高点。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普正重新尝试解雇美联储理事丽莎·库克（Lisa Cook），此前美国最高法院在6月份拒绝允许总统解雇她。据路透社看到的一封信件，白宫本周在给库克女士的信中表示，总统正在“考虑”将其免职，并要求她对未经证实的抵押贷款欺诈指控在三周内做出回应——其律师称这些指控“毫无根据”。
针对库克女士的这一攻势，是本周特朗普先生第二次尝试采取最高法院在今年早些时候已拦截的行动。特朗普先生本周早些时候还发布了另一项命令，试图限制出生公民权，此前最高法院已驳回了他之前限制谁被自动视为美国公民的尝试。
这封由副办公厅主任丹·斯卡维诺（Dan Scavino）签署并由ABC新闻率先报道的给库克女士的信件称，她曾犯下最高可判处30年监禁的罪行，且其行为构成了过失，使其作为美联储理事的可信度受到质疑，据ABC报道。在的一份声明中，库克女士的律师表示，免除库克女士职务“没有正当理由”。律师表示：“我们将像之前一样，挑战这次最新的借口，以维护她的职位以及美联储的历史角色。”
与此同时，总部位于安大略省奥克维尔（Oakville）的运输公司TFI国际公司（TFI International Inc.）表示，将把公司总部迁至美国，使其更接近于一个更大的投资者群体。在经历了激烈的股东反对后，该公司撤销了之前的决定。
对于阿尔冈昆（Algonquin）而言，此次重新注册地将发生在多年的重组之后，重组导致其大部分收入由其在多个美国州拥有的电力分销公司产生。此次重新注册地将使其能够进入Russell、S&P和CRSP基准指数，但会被从某些加拿大指数中删除。加拿大新斯科舍银行（Bank of Nova Scotia）分析师罗伯特·霍普（Robert Hope）表示，由于美国指数规模更大，被动投资资金的流入将抵消加拿大的抛售压力。他认为，虽然在删除先于添加的情况下可能会出现短期疲软，但长期来看，AQN股票的需求将有结构性改善。
该公司曾是市场宠儿，股价在近年来表现出色，但快速扩张和沉重的债务负担迫使公司两次削减股息，并在2024年以25亿美元出售了其可再生能源业务。
自去年担任首席执行官以来，韦斯特（West）先生将阿尔冈昆重新定位为一家纯粹的受监管发电、输电和配电公用事业公司，在13个美国州、百慕大、智利和加拿大运营。阿尔冈昆首席执行官罗德·韦斯特（Rod West）表示：“如今，我们的80%以上运营位于美国，在加拿大的比例不足5%。”
该公司计划将总部迁至芝加哥，但保留在奥克维尔的办事处。它将在2027年上半年寻求股东批准。
“迁至美国将使我们的公司结构更好地与……”
他认为，对于那些自2018年以来已将注册地迁至美国的加拿大公司而言，经常性收益将超过一次性成本。
“总的来说，我们认为这一转变将降低税收成本，并增加吸引更广泛投资者的潜力，”他告诉分析师。然而，由于Algonquin已经拥有庞大的美国股东基础，随着该股票被纳入更多指数和交易所交易基金，这一效果可能会被削弱，他写道。
在第二季度，净收入为US$4.9-million，或 1 美分，低于去年的US$14.8-million，或 2 美分。该公司表示，其部分美国市场的监管利率上升，被该国业务扩张带来的收益以及$7.94的损失所抵消，同时还受到了不利天气的影响。
Abbe D. Lowell表示。美联储没有立即回应置评请求。白宫也没有立即回应置评请求。此外，West先生表示，这种转变将使我们的公司结构与资产更好地结合，并且是我们预期增长的方向。
去年，特朗普先生在试图解雇Cook女士时引用了抵押贷款欺诈。Cook女士是首位担任美联储理事的黑人女性。Cook女士否认了这些指控，称其是因货币政策分歧而将其除名的借口。美国最高法院在6月份拒绝允许此次解雇，坚持维护央行珍视的独立性，反对共和党总统前所未有的挑战。法院在一项 5-4 的裁决中，暂时阻止了特朗普先生撤换Cook女士，为美联储提供了专门的保障。自该央行1913年成立以来，没有其他总统试图罢免美联储理事。

加拿大7月就业人数大幅增加75,100人
SOPHIA BERTUZZI
加拿大经济在7月份增加了一个令人惊讶的就业人数，失业率随之下降，这与美国形成了鲜明对比，美国上个月出人意料地减少了就业岗位。
加拿大元在周五跳升至约72美分。
在美、加两国，就业增长都在放缓，Porter先生表示，在两国，寻找工作的人数都在减少，这意味着只要任何一个经济体有少量的就业增长，失业率就会下降。事实上，美国的失业率从 4.2 降至 4.1 并在7月达到了两年低点。随着更多人离开劳动力市场，寻找工作的人数减少，失业率随之下降。
根据工资单数据，美国就业人数减少了23,000个岗位，仅增长 0.2，这与经济学家的预测相去甚远。
Encana Corp.（现名为Ovintiv Inc.）和Brookfield Asset Management等公司是响应美国业务扩张而将注册地迁至美国公司的代表。根据S&P Capital IQ的数据，截至31, 3月，这些公司持有Algonquin 8.65 per cent的股票。Algonquin在多伦多证券交易所的股价下跌超过 1%。
加拿大在7月份净增 75,100 个就业岗位，超过了经济学家预期的 20,000 个，加拿大统计局周五报告称。失业率从6月份的 6.5% 下降至 6.4%。
在美国，7月份就业人数净减少 23,000 个，与经济学家预期的增加 80,000 个相去甚远，根据彭博数据。这两个国家的劳动力结果近期出现了分歧。
整体美国就业情况似乎陷入停滞，招聘人数在下降。美联储是否会像我们预期那样保持观望，需要观察。
在第二季度，年化增长率超过 3%，这表明加拿大经济正在摆脱长期的低迷。
“尽管头条新闻起伏不定，但我认为这里的主要故事是经济已重回正轨，”BMO资本市场首席经济学家道格拉斯·波特（Douglas Porter）在一次采访中表示。“即使在过去一年中，加拿大7月份的就业增长也是广泛的，分布在全职和兼职工作中，其中批发和零售贸易部门领先。考虑到该省受关税、贸易不确定性和能源价格上涨的严重影响，安大略省在7月份增加了 52,000 个就业岗位，这是该省在各省中最大的就业增长。考虑到该省的情况，这些增长是非常显著的。安大略省在7月份看到了高于平均水平的就业增长。这可能是这里最大的惊喜，”波特先生说。
除了7月份的结果外，美国劳工统计局将5月和6月的就业人数下调了 103,000 人。
加拿大在过去大约两个月里达到了最高点。美国国债收益率下降，因为投资者降低了对加息的预期。截至周五下午，投资者预计美联储在 9月16日 会议上将利率提高 0.25 个百分点的概率约为 40%，低于之前的 60%。
私营部门和自雇工人的增长被公共部门 27,000 个岗位的流失部分抵消——这是连续第二个月下降。公共部门的就业人数自 2025, 7月 以来下降了 0.4%，是自 2020. 年以来首次出现同比下降。
7月份的美国就业增长见于私营部门，该部门温和增加了 30,000 个岗位，但被政府部门 53,000 个岗位的减少所抵消。
“考虑到我们一直面对的所有贸易不确定性，以及由于与伊朗冲突导致的汽油价格上涨，目前的情况是，经济处于一个不算糟糕的位置，”波特先生说。
格兰瑟姆（Grantham）先生表示：“我们看到美国目前的情况是经济似乎在放缓。如果他们保持观望——正如我们所预期的那样——那么经济中部分放缓也将转化为核心通胀指标的放缓。”
掉期市场预计加拿大银行在1月份会加息一次，明年春季或夏季可能还会进行第二次加息。尽管如此，投资者在近几个月里对加拿大银行的利率路径普遍持有更鹰派的观点，而贝街（Bay Street）的经济学家则预计央行将

加拿大经济正处于年化增长率在第二季度超过 3% 的轨道上，这一结论基于初步数据。这将意味着经济实现了触底反弹，而此前经济实际上处于停滞状态，原因是贸易增长的不确定性抑制了增长，以及美国总统唐纳德·特朗普重返办公室及其贸易保护主义的升级，包括征收高额关税。
但一个鲜明的对比依然存在：加拿大就业人数在过去一年中增长了近 1%，而美国就业人数也在增长。
该方法排除了自雇人士，这意味着拥有两份工作的人可能会被重复计算。加拿大统计局（StatsCan）的劳动力调查则通过调查家庭来估算就业人数。
格兰瑟姆（Grantham）先生表示，如果加拿大经济的势头持续下去，加拿大银行可能需要在明年年中左右提高利率。“但当然，我们不需要在短期内看到任何情况，”他说。
金融、保险和房地产，以及专业和技术服务——这些通常是高薪部门——在 7 月贡献了约 35,000 个工作岗位。格兰瑟姆（Grantham）作为 CIBC 资本市场的高级经济学家表示，这些增长是一个令人鼓舞的信号。

“你无法击败市场”曾是像他这样的货币交易者的信条。秘书正试图这样做。随着日本利率的上升，由于其债券需求低于供应，利率快速上升——利率已飙升近 1.5 个百分点。
如果这种情况发生，这里以及其他地方的利率可能会继续上升。
美国财政部作为全球主要储备货币的发行方，其规模之巨……
在一个由忠诚的职场熟手组成美国政府的背景下，财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）因对其职责的精通而脱颖而出。作为一名纯粹的华尔街交易员，他从容地管理着市场，确保了市场的稳步上涨，尽管他服务的总统到目前为止，考虑到其反复无常和古怪的实验，本可能已让一切崩溃。
这并不意味着贝森特先生在做特朗普式的事情，只要这些事情打破了传统规范。上周，在立场上，他与日本银行协调以遏制日元的下跌，这是一种极不寻常的举措。这可能会影响我们所有人。
随着日本走出数十年的滞胀，政府已开始通过支出大规模刺激经济，导致日本国债和日元价值双双下跌。推动日元疲软的是通货膨胀的回归，而自唐纳德·特朗普在伊朗发动战争以来，油价上涨进一步恶化了这一局面。日本银行在多年前率先采用超宽松货币政策以试图振兴死气沉沉的经济，目前仍将短期利率维持在远低于其他G7央行的水平——不到加拿大和欧洲水平的一半，仅为美国水平的四分之一左右。
利率在所有发达市场均在上升，美国处于领先地位，10年期国债收益率自年初以来上涨了近0.5个百分点。考虑到美国债务规模巨大且不断增加，每增加一个百分点，就会使美国预算赤字增加近 US$400-
有时，央行会干预以支撑其货币价值。通常，央行通过动用其外汇储备并将部分外币兑换成本国货币来实现这一点，从而推高其价值。日本银行多年来一直采取这种干预方式，通过抛售美元买入日元。遗憾的是，这几乎没有产生效果。货币干预很少奏效，因为交易员知道央行的外汇账户资金有限，且乐于以折扣价格将其接手。
然而，上周五的干预有所不同，日元价值大幅跳升。之所以如此，是因为美国财政部参与其中，动用了美联储一个很少使用的机制，将欧元兑换成日元。这个奇怪的转折——动用欧元储备而非美元——或许能为财政部决定帮助日本提供线索。
以及英国。20 亿。由于投资者在日本仍能以低廉的成本借款，他们一直在推动一种套利交易：借入日元，然后将其兑换成其他货币，以购买回报率更高的国家债券。
这种趋势，加上对日本央行可能导致通货膨胀失控的担忧——目前通胀率仅为 1.7%，但仍以每月平均 0.1% 的速度上升——导致投资者抛售日元，将资金投入其他地方。
不过，这是一个冒险的举动，而且没有人比他更清楚这一点。因为他当年在乔治·索罗斯的基金公司担任交易员时，正是通过押注货币贬值而发家的。
货币贬值在某种程度上也是央行关注的问题，因为这会增加进口成本。
毋庸置疑，这正成为财政部的一个问题。如果日本开始抛售其持有的美国债券以支撑日元，对美国国债的需求下降将降低其价格，进而进一步提高其收益率——即其利率。贝森特先生希望通过后门维持低利率，因此通过抛售欧元可以帮助日本央行加强日元，而无需动用任何加元。

越来越多的碳捕集项目正被暂停或取消。但挪威的 Northern Lights 开发项目提供了宝贵的经验——只要渥太华愿意倾听。
来自 B1 他还在为未来做打算。石油和天然气收入充实了政府的金库，有助于资助如今规模达 US$2-trillion 的主权财富基金，但这些收入不会永远持续下去。挪威在能源部门之外没有太多工业，因此开发碳捕集生态系统可以帮助减轻冲击。
但到 2013 年，挪威不得不退缩。其在 Mongstad 的碳捕集项目严重超支，且许多欧盟国家正深受欧洲债务危机的影响，无法在捕集技术上投入资金。于是，挪威将其碳捕集项目转变为一个研究设施——当时的挪威环保组织将其描述为“我们见过的最惨烈的政治坠毁之一”。
两年后，近 200 个缔约方签署了所谓的《巴黎协定》，同意将全球气温升高幅度控制在工业化前水平 2 摄氏度以下。该协定再次为挪威的计划注入了活力，2020 年，其政府批准了 Northern Lights 项目。
在挪威，政府资金并不一定被视为坏事。“如果没有政府支持，是不可能为这类项目提供资金的，”Hafslund Oslo Celsio 的碳捕集与存储总监 Jan-nicke Gerner Bjerkås 解释道。
Northern Lights 目前已全面投入运营，挪威希望以此展示成果。该工业园区包括一个三翼访问中心，其建筑师 LINK Arkitektur 将其描述为“展示未来存储项目的世界级舞台”。这座建筑让人想起 Brian MacKay-Lyons 的现代风格，由点缀在新斯科舍省海岸线的方盒子房屋组成，并由支柱支撑，使其悬浮在岩层之上，俯瞰北海。
然而，Northern Lights 的采用率并未达到规划者的预期。原本希望一旦挪威建成该项目，客户就会随之而来。但目前客户数量还不够，两位熟悉运营的人士解释道。由于这些人士未获授权公开表态，《环球邮报》不对其进行命名。
这正是加拿大长期承诺但从未兑现的项目类型。
渥太华、阿尔伯塔省和加拿大的石油公司多年来一直在讨论碳捕集，在 2021 年，五家油砂生产商联合成立了 Pathways Alliance，承诺建设一条管道，用于埋掉其场地的碳排放。
五年过去了，还没有动工。尽管这些石油公司在 2025 年获得了 $24.7-billion 的集体利润，但它们甚至无法就如何支付费用达成一致。
不过，最近取得了一些进展。2025 年 11 月，总理 Mark Carney 与阿尔伯塔省签署了一份关于新石油管道的谅解备忘录，作为谈判的一部分，他要求必须建设一个碳捕集项目。
总理的政治遗产现在面临考验。在担任加拿大银行行长，随后担任英格兰银行行长之后，Carney 先生成为了联合国气候行动与金融特使，他的名字已成为对抗气候变化的代名词。“没有管道，就没有路径，”他曾如此说道。
此后，渥太华正式确定了石油管道计划，该管道现在将向南延伸，并在 7 月
6月，浓重的晨雾笼罩着环绕着Northern Lights的群岛。在卑尔根有一句谚语——“带上你的雨伞。”该市表示，一年中有200多天在下雨。但到了中午，云层开始散开，在一家俯瞰码头的会议室里进行演示时，一艘紫色的船——“北极凤凰号”（Northern Phoenix）变得清晰可见。
Benedicte Staalesen曾任挪威总理助手，现负责该项目的公共事务，她解释说，目前已有四艘定制船舶能够将碳运往Northern Lights，且第二座码头正在建设中，以服务包括荷兰的一家氨肥厂和瑞典的一家发电厂在内的新客户。
联邦政府签署了一份单独的谅解备忘录以推进Pathways项目。最终细节预计将于11月前出台，但目前已有一项具体计划，旨在建设一条400公里的管道，将碳排放从油砂设施运输到阿尔伯塔省冷湖（Cold Lake）附近的一个地下枢纽，然后装载到船上，这为规模较小的公司消除了大量碳排放。
从理论上看，这似乎是多方共赢。油砂公司得到了他们长期渴望的原油管道；阿尔伯塔省能够生产更多原油，从而缓解部分助长分离主义运动的愤怒；而总理则可以平息其党团内部对政府环境信誉的一些不满。
（消息人士称，出现这种情况有多个原因。首先，该项目是为那些排放量足以将其液化的污染者设计的。而且自从俄罗斯在2022年入侵乌克兰以来，许多欧洲国家更加关注加强其能源安全。特朗普先生还不断威胁要退出北约，因此欧洲政府在国防上的支出增加。优先级已经发生了转移。）
另一个原因是：污染的成本还不够高。在整个欧洲，污染者现在受所谓的排放交易体系（Emissions Trading System）约束，必须为其排放付费。人们曾希望，一旦污染成本足够高，他们会倾向于投资碳捕集技术。但迄今为止，碳价格尚未迫使这种转变发生。
然而，在所有这些近期的交易中，有些东西被掩盖了。在全球范围内，碳捕集技术的吸引力正在下降。这看起来像是进步。但尽管Northern Lights项目在扩张，仍有一些注脚。
“捕集技术是有效的，”Wood Mackenzie（一家全球能源咨询公司）的碳管理总监Peter Findlay表示。“但对于工业界来说，目前的经济激励还不足以促使其增长。”
换句话说，科学原理是可靠的，但很难在经济上可行。
至关重要的一点是，运输碳的成本很高。加拿大很幸运地拥有陆地存储空间，不像挪威的项目，但Pathways管道的预计成本仍在$20-billion和$30-billion之间。回收这笔资金很困难。虽然捕集的碳有一些用途，例如在阿尔伯塔省（Pathways项目所在地）以及在北海如何捕集和存储碳。
挪威政府最终支付了第一阶段80%的费用（与此同时，扩建部分将主要由三家私人合作伙伴资助，欧盟承担20%）。
对加拿大的启示
随着加拿大推进Pathways项目，可以从挪威的这项“登月计划”中学习很多。
首先，需要进行碳定价改革。省政府被允许开发自己的系统，但……
基于此，它被用于碳酸饮料，大部分被掩埋，这意味着该过程仅仅是一项成本。这使得石油公司在财务上很难给出合理的解释。多年来，他们面临着投资者要求遵守环境、社会和治理原则的压力，但 ESG 时代已在很大程度上消亡。再加上美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对气候变化的漠视，全球越来越多的碳捕集项目已被暂停或取消。
在加拿大，纳税人已经支付了至少 $35-billion 用于建设一条通往西海岸的新石油管道。现在，他们被要求为 Pathways 项目再支付数十亿加元，而该项目的减排目标刚刚被大幅削减。
这一切都让人质疑卡尼先生决定推进该计划的决定。碳捕集之梦曾被环保运动视为万灵药，现在看来前景则不那么乐观。

对于挪威来说，启动一个碳捕集项目就像是一次阿波罗计划。“这是我们的登月计划，”时任总理延斯·斯托尔滕贝格在 2007. 1 月 1 日的电视新年演讲中说道。
当时，在蒙特利尔举行的一次联合国气候会议刚刚将环境重新纳入政治雷达，而作为北海的石油和天然气生产国，斯托尔滕贝格先生认为挪威有义务帮助应对气候变化。
或者，通过技术创新与减排（TIER）系统。每个大型排放源都被设定了一个运营排放强度目标，如果该公司在给定年份达到了目标，它将获得信用额度，可以将其出售给其他公司，或作为未来年份的抵消额度保留。
如果污染者未能达到排放目标，他们必须按照预设的碳价格，为每增加一吨的碳排放购买信用额度，或者从其他公司购买信用额度。
在最初的几年里，该系统运行良好。但最近，信用额度出现了严重过剩。这意味着阿尔伯塔省公司支付的实际碳价格通常远低于监管价格。渥太华在 5 月份承认了这一点。政府在一份声明中表示：“加拿大的碳信用市场运行不畅。”
为了解决这个问题，加拿大和阿尔伯塔省已同意设定一个新的实际碳价格，且阿尔伯塔省将从 2030. 起为其 TIER 信用额度执行最低底价。这在理论上听起来不错，但一些环保团体强调，新的碳价格低于必要水平。今年早些时候，加拿大气候研究所恳请政府在 2030. 前将实际价格提高到每吨 $130。新规则确实强制执行这一价格，但直到 2040. 才实现。
“是的，谅解备忘录（MOU）相对于目前在阿尔伯塔省的状态略微改善了工业碳定价——但天哪，这门槛太低了，”气候研究所（Climate Institute）在 5 月份规则公布后写道。
由于新规则和价格不够严格，公司投资碳捕集技术的财务动力就减少了。

自2009年以来。这种效率来自于钻井技术等方面的改进。但另一个统计数据也十分突出。尽管排放强度在下降，但由于石油公司增加了产量，2025年的绝对排放量相对于2024年有所上升。在位于新斯科舍省安纳波利斯皇家（Annapolis Royal）、靠近芬迪湾（Bay of Fundy）的家中，尼科尔森（Mr. Nicholson）在电话中直截了当地表示：“我认为碳捕集的情况会非常少。”这是否意味着卡尼（Mr. Carney）的Pathways承诺是一个幻象？“我认为完全正确，”他说。
全球赌注
温迪·兰（Wendy Lam）仍然持有信心。她来自安大略省温莎（Windsor, Ont.），拥有机械工程和工业工程学位，职业生涯的大部分时间在包括贝克休斯（Baker Hughes）在内的重工业公司工作，从事气候技术研究。2024年，她大胆跨出一步，加入总部位于奥斯陆的Capsol Technologies担任首席执行官。该公司生产碳捕集技术，例如用于水泥厂和生物质工厂的末端产品，以及用于捕集天然气轮机排放碳的改造产品。兰女士承认碳捕集最近失去了一些光彩，但她认为这是暂时的。“目前，主题是能源安全，每个人都只担心如何维持生计和生存，”她说。“我们最终会摆脱这种状态，并且我们将不得不重新面对排放成本的问题。”
北极光（NORTHERN LIGHTS）
气候变化的迹象无处不在。今年夏天，来自西北安大略省的野火烟雾向南飘散，覆盖了大湖区，使一些城市的天空变成了橙色。卡尔加里大学公共政策学院院长、前森科能源公司（Suncor）首席可持续发展官兼首席气候官玛莎·霍尔·芬德利（Martha Hall Findlay）认为，上市公司只能依靠
[左图：北极光设施位于挪威Øygarden的北海海岸]
森科能源公司（Suncor Energy Inc.）刚刚公布了第二季度收益，由于伊朗战争导致油价飙升，其自由现金流在2026年3月的第一季度跳升了73%，达到$3.8-billion。该公司开发了一套解决方案以实现工业脱碳并达成净零目标。
[上图：北极光已开发出用于运输二氧化碳的基础设施，预计将能捕集]
贡献如此之多，是因为西欧也处于另一波热浪的烘烤之下。通过船舶运至接收终端，然后通过管道运输至奥斯陆的中间存储设施进行安全且永久的存储。林女士说，她以前常向加拿大的朋友吹嘘那里没有蚊子，因为那里不够热，且热的时间不够长。
“今年我被咬了这么多口，是因为天气变得更暖和，且持续时间更长，”她说。
一些环境变化较难察觉，但可能会产生毁灭性的后果。气温升高使得更多微生物（如食肉细菌）能够在新的地方生长。更多病毒也在适应温暖的天气，寻找在高温中生存的六种方式。这意味着有一天，更多的病毒可能会学会如何在人体高温环境下生存。
与此同时，二氧化碳排放量持续上升。直到20世纪，大气中二氧化碳的浓度从未突破300 ppm（百万分之三百），根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）全球监测实验室的数据。它在1910年左右突破了这一指标，现在已接近425 ppm。
这是未知的领域。
而现在，世界又将数据中心加入到这个组合中。
7月，Meta Platforms Inc. 表示将投入超过130亿加元，在埃德蒙顿市外建设一个大规模的人工智能数据中心。该项目是一个吉瓦（gigawatt）级别的设施，这指的是它将消耗的电量。

由于股东的需求。资本是全球性的，投资者会将其资金转移到利润率最高的石油公司。为碳捕集付费会削弱……
此外，“这个国家几乎一直有显著的政府参与，”她说道，并以铁路和圣劳伦斯航道为例。
然而，该行业无疑在政府新出台的、被削弱的年度碳捕集目标中获得了一次大胜。最初，Pathways项目旨在到2030年每年捕集2200万吨碳。新协议将其改为到2035年每年600万吨，随后在2045年增加到1600万吨。
Ninepoint Partners LP 的投资组合经理 Eric Nuttall 专门研究加拿大能源，他这样评价：“作为加拿大油砂的主要投资者，我认为这一公告是一次胜利，”他在 LinkedIn 上写道。
在被问及目标降低的问题时，Pathways 团队将其描述为一种微妙的平衡。“在这个规模上，Pathways 项目仍然是全球最大的 CCS（碳捕集与封存）项目之一，我们认为这是值得庆祝的。这是一个雄心勃勃但可实现的目标。我们认为这一规模在降低排放强度与认可维持我们行业全球竞争力重要性之间找到了平衡，”该联盟在给《环球邮报》的一份声明中表示。
此前，曾有讨论建议在埃德蒙顿附近建立一个工业区，以便在那里建设工厂的公司可以连接到 Pathways 管道线。现在，他们这样做理由减少了。
从挪威人身上得到的第二个教训是：显著的政府支持将是使碳捕集成为公司可行选择的必要条件。渥太华和阿尔伯塔省正在对此达成共识。
根据最近推进 Pathways 的协议，渥太华延长了建设该项目的联邦投资税收抵免，直至2035年（即目前的项目完工目标日期）。
由一座新的天然气电厂提供。整个埃德蒙顿市的用电量约为 1.4 吉瓦。
在美国，Meta 正在路易斯安那州建设一座五吉瓦的设施；在肯塔基州，加拿大的 Brookfield 正在与美国最大的公用事业公司 NextEra 合作建设另一座。肯塔基州项目的天然气电厂规模足以支撑 1500万户家庭的用电。
由于这些数据中心由天然气供电，Lam 女士乐观地认为碳捕集技术可能会发挥作用。
至于环保人士，在 Pathways 计划提出两周后，加拿大气候研究所（Canadian Climate Institute）董事会主席 Peter Nicholson 在政策讨论 Substack 社区 Sage 上发布了一项分析。他对此感到不满。Nicholson 先生曾在政府部门工作，包括在保罗·马丁（Paul Martin）担任总理期间担任总理办公室政策副幕僚长，因此他非常熟悉政治妥协。但 Pathways 被削弱的程度仍然令他感到惊讶。
但碳捕集不能是万能药，因为挪威已经证明，而加拿大也正在发现，这是一种昂贵的解决方案。在光谱的一端，捕集水泥厂的排放可能是经济的，因为其烟囱排放的污染物的碳浓度很高。但直接从空气中捕集碳的梦想已经破灭，因为浓度太低。由于碳捕集与封存（CCS）的成本如此之高，
在 6 月份，标普全球（S&P Global）报告称，油砂生产商的排放强度（即每桶油的二氧化碳排放量）在 17 年来一直在下降，下降了 31%。
在最终细节公布之前，很难知道这些激励措施的具体金额，但卡尔加里 Servus Credit Union 的经济学家 Charles St-Arnaud 在 5 月份通过《环球邮报》发表了一篇具有挑衅性的评论文章，敦促政府推迟 Pathways 计划。她认为世界已经改变。在 5 月份，他进行了一些快速计算，得出碳捕集与封存约 75% 的资本成本由各种税收抵免覆盖。这将使政府支持在潜在的 $25-billion 总成本中达到约 $19-billion。
“我是一个坚定的环保主义者，”她在电话中解释道，并补充说她曾担任 Pathways 指导委员会的成员。
Beyond 2035, the Pathways MOU says, “Canada and Alberta will maintain appropriate fiscal supports.”
在电子邮件声明中，联邦能源与自然资源部部长 Tim Hodgson 的新闻秘书 Charlotte Power 表示，加拿大的目标是“在提供激励措施的同时，确保 Pathways 负责开发该项目并达成最终投资决定。”
她补充道：“全球各国政府都在进行类似的投资，在某些情况下，这些投资需要更强大的联邦财政支持，因为碳捕集项目涉及巨额的前期资本成本，但能通过减少排放、提高工业竞争力、能源安全和经济增长带来长期公共利益。”
一个例子是：到 2045 年，渥太华强制要求的减排量中，近三分之二可以来自排放减少技术的部署，或采用改进生产实践的项目，而非碳捕集。这种措辞有些含糊。Nicholson 先生担心可能会出现这样一种情况：排放量仍在上升，但通过将其与没有新技术的假设情况进行比较，在技术上被定义为“减少”了。
针对增强油层恢复的资本支出，提供新的税收抵免。
多年来。他们每周五早上7点（卡尔加里时间）都会与石油公司首席执行官们会面，很少缺席。但由于加拿大现在在国防和全国重大项目上投入如此之多，她认为现在这样做并不值得。多年来，这些公司一直认为，必须为实现碳捕集贡献大量资金是不公平的。他们辩称，油价波动很大，北美基准价格西德克萨斯中间级原油的价格在2月美国袭击伊朗之前曾跌回每桶60美元区间。为了在修订后的项目中挽救全球排放的一小部分而花费200亿至300亿美元，这很难让人接受。美国和沙特阿拉伯等竞争生产国并没有被强制要求支付碳捕集费用。
对于环保主义者来说，这可能令人愤怒。在他们看来，保护地球与季度收益同样重要。此外，波动的油价对石油公司同样有利。

石油生产商具体将出资多少尚未最终确定，直到11月才会敲定，不过鲍尔女士表示，Pathways的成员“将被要求为其自身的投资提供实质性的资金”。
中图：总部位于奥斯陆的Capsol Technologies公司首席执行官温迪·林（Wendy Lam）表示，碳捕集技术在能源行业之外还有许多用途。
此外，她补充道，“气候是一个全球性问题。”因此，许多国家现在关注的是能源安全和可负担性，而非减排。
底图：挪威前总理延斯·斯托尔滕贝格（Jens Stoltenberg）将碳捕集和储存计划比作挪威版的“登月计划”，其规模和雄心相当。 KUBA ATYS / REUTERS
渥太华将对碳捕集的支持定义为一项宏大的交易。“加拿大支持那些能够带来切实减排、为加拿大人创造价值，并有助于维持强劲经济和可靠能源供应的项目，”霍奇森先生的新闻秘书鲍尔女士在声明中表示。她还指出，国际能源署（IEA）和政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）都得出结论，认为碳管理技术对于实现净零排放将是必要的。
但关于其中涉及的政治因素，几乎没有被提及。卡尼先生之所以愿意动用政府金库支持Pathways，可能是因为该项目能够增加石油产量，从而有助于平息阿尔伯塔省的分离主义。同样，特朗普先生的贸易战可能使他重新评估形势。随着加拿大在多元化发展以摆脱对美国的依赖，未来十年可能会有波动，而缓冲这一经济冲击的最佳方式之一就是生产更多石油。或者，也许卡尼先生只是把自己逼入了绝境，担心在要求“没有Pathways就没有管道”之后显得很愚蠢。
无论如何，这个昂贵且被削弱的项目似乎与总理自己在2022年的话相矛盾。在伦敦的一次气候会议上，他提醒听众，净零转型的“交付十年”已经过去了近四分之一，现在需要一场“革命”。“世界陷入了胆怯陷阱，”他警告说，“我们在犹豫不决中走向气候灾难。”

探索加拿大最适合租房的50个城市 《环球邮报》对各地的排名，综合考量了可负担性、可用性、宜居性和稳定性。
MAHIMA SINGH
夏季是一年中最繁忙的时期，这也是加拿大租赁市场的连续第21年如此。随着学生准备迎接秋季学期，年轻专业人士搬迁，许多持家者在9月前搬家，数以万计的加拿大人正在寻找新的住所。
我们使用来自Rentals.ca的每月挂牌数据，对人口超过20,000的243个加拿大城市进行了排名。我们的排名基于四个类别：可负担性、可用性、稳定性和宜居性。
可负担性考察住房成本与当地中位数收入的对比。可用性反映了寻找租房的竞争程度，综合考虑了当地需求和周边通勤市场。稳定性识别出在过去五年中租金和可用性保持相对一致的市场。宜居性衡量在城市生活的日常体验，包括配套设施、交通和服务。
由于本项目强调城市的可负担性而非宜居性，在工资相对于租金上涨幅度较高的地区，卡尔加里排名第六
夏季版的租房排名旨在帮助您根据收入，在目前加拿大境内找到最适合租房的地方。
“租房者比疫情以来拥有更多的选择和更多的议价能力，且位居此名单顶端的城市是那些租金从未远超当地收入的城市，”Rentals.ca首席经济学家Shaun Hildebrand表示，该机构是《环球邮报》本项目的主要数据提供合作伙伴。
“但这是一个供应问题，且不会持久。开工建设量正在下降，随学校校历而来的季节性回升已经开始，而人口
随着新型定制住房供应的增加，情况开始缓解，空置率有所提高，租金增长速度放缓，尤其是在多伦多和温哥华。然而，可负担性仍然是一个挑战，租金相对于收入依然高企。在全国范围内，6月份的挂牌租金平均为$2,033，比上个月下降了4.3%。

榜单之首。在最近的政策削减之后，人口增长将会重新回升，因此这个窗口期不会持续太久。”
除了季节性波动外，租房者还面临着其他持续的压力。根据 Mortgage and Housing Corp. 的夏季市场更新，2026 年的国家住房市场表现弱于预期。人口增长放缓、经济不确定性、高抵押贷款利率以及温和的收入增长，使得许多买家无法进入市场，从而使租房成为更多加拿大人的长期现实。
而租赁市场方面，随着该省的增长，过去三年的租金上涨了约 25%。
这种价格增长目前趋于平缓，Ladas 先生预测——
当 Adam McGrath 描述他去年从渥太华地区搬到里贾纳的情况时，听起来情况并没有发生剧烈变化。
但当他谈到改变之处时，很明显，作为这座草原城市的租房者，他感到快乐得多。
是一些简单的事情，比如他和妻子租一整栋房子仅需 $1,200，而他之前租的小型两居室公寓租金则高达 $1,950。
或者他可以在不到 20 分钟内离开城市去大自然中徒步，或者仅用 10 分钟开车上班。他觉得为退休储蓄的情况好多了。
“没有什么特别突出的，只是生活变得更简单了，开销更低了，我能存下钱，而且在各方面压力都更小了，”这位 43 岁的男子说道。
“草原城市有一些特质是永远不会过时的，”萨斯喀彻温大学地理与规划教授 Bell 表示。

里昂（Leon's）暗示将通过涨价来应对燃料成本上升 总部位于多伦多的家具和电器零售商
SUSAN KRASHINSKY ROBERTSON 零售业记者
在截至 6 月 30 日的季度中，收入略有下降。 然而，报告的收益受到该季度金融衍生工具收益的影响，而去年同期为损失。剔除该影响后，调整后净利润下降至 $34.8-million 或每股 51 美分，而去年同期为 $39.4-million 或每股 57 美分。此次下降是由于公司在去年同期收到的一笔 $1.4-million 和解金收益，以及其估值的剧烈波动所致。
在营销必须“大声疾呼价值”以吸引消费者的环境下，较高的价格是一种竞争劣势——但一些战略性的价格上涨在同一时期（去年）为 $31.8-million 或每股 47 美分。
美元可能被需要用于支付上涨的燃料成本。零售商通常以美元从海外供应商处采购库存，去年的季度受益于较为有利的汇率，而今年则面临美元走强。
Leon’s Furniture Ltd. 的高管在周五发出信号。这家总部位于多伦多的家具和电器零售商与许多其他公司一样，正面临燃料价格上涨导致的海运、铁路和卡车运输成本增加。公司高管指出。
“我们绝对不想全面提高价格。但由于运输成本上升，我们将采取战略性措施，看看在哪些方面可以调整，”首席执行官 Mike Walsh 在周五上午讨论公司第二季度业绩的电话会议上表示。
在提高高价产品的支出方面，Walsh 先生表示，但重点是向消费者“大声传递价值，从而吸引他们进入门店，”他说道。
销售单位数量与去年相比有所增加，但高管们表示，客户转向了较低价的产品。
Leon’s 报告的营收略有下降，至截至 30, 6 月的季度为 $6312亿，与去年同期相比下降 2%。
家具和电器的销售额在金额上均有所下降——这与去年同期相比出现了显著放缓，去年的家具销售额增长了约 6%。
这一结果略低于 S&P Capital IQ 汇总的分析师对营收 $6359亿的平均预期。
公司的第二季度净利润增长至 $3500万，或每股 51 美分。

展望未来，除了运输成本外，该零售商还开始注意到其部分亚洲航线出现延迟。这可能会导致第三季度的家具交付出现延迟。
此外，零售商发现客户选择较低价的选项。“这与我们看到的某些地缘政治供需问题有关，”首席财务官 Victor Diab 在电话会议上补充道。
他补充说，这种寻求价值的行为是 Leon’s 在过去一年半中观察到的一种趋势。“我们看到客户仍在购物，仍在购买——但他们确实想要价值。”
与此同时，床垫类别的销售额有所增加。
可负担性仍然是一个挑战，他补充道，尤其是在家具等大额可选消费支出方面。Leon’s 正在与承运商和经纪人合作，寻找替代的库存交付路线，他补充道。
尽管贸易反弹，中国出口繁荣依旧 DAISUKE WAKABAYASHI
又一个月，又一次贸易掩盖了国内经济的持续疲软，后者继续遭受长期房地产低迷和消费者支出顽固疲软的影响。
即便世界各国都采取措施遏制中国商品的涌入，中国的出口机器仍在全速前进。
第二季度，中国经济增长率处于最低水平。
中国的出口实力还受益于全球支出。同时，中国出口实力在面对欧洲竞争对手时拥有不公平优势。
上个月，美国宣布禁止新型中国人形机器人，理由是国家安全担忧。中国通过宣布一系列报复性措施予以回应，包括对无人机技术实施出口限制。
中国出口的强劲表现也掩盖了对中国而言超过 $100 亿的盈余。
该国在7月份记录了$112.5-billion的贸易顺差，根据海关总署周五发布的数据。
尽管唐纳德·特朗普在第二任期开始时发出了威胁，但中国已经挺过了与美国的贸易对抗，并处于相对强势的地位。
上个月，特朗普政府对中国商品征收了12.5 per cent的关税，这与对其他数十个国家采用的税率大致一致。
不断扩大的贸易顺差加剧了西方国家对中国公司在多个行业日益占据主导地位的挫败感。欧盟已对从中国进口的电动汽车征收关税，理由是国家补贴赋予了中国制造商不公平的优势。
这些数据表明，中国贸易的“繁荣”依然“强劲”，凯投宏观（Capital Economics）中国经济主管朱利安·埃文斯-普里查德（Julian Evans-Pritchard）在一份研究报告中表示。
在过去几周里，出现了北京与华盛顿之间贸易紧张局势升级的迹象，此前中国最高领导人习近平预计将访问美国。下次会议预计在9月初举行。
在三年时间里，人工智能的支出热潮持续推进。
与人工智能相关的出货量，包括半导体和数据中心设备，大幅增加。这是中国出口连续第三个月超过进口，金额超过$100-billion——这是一个惊人的数字，使该国有望超越去年$1.19-trillion的贸易顺差记录。
原材料和商品的更高价格也帮助提升了进口额。
7月份的石油进口量比6月份增长了22%，尽管仍比去年同期低近25 cent。
伊朗的战争扰乱了通过霍尔木兹海峡的石油和天然气运输，从而刺激了对中国电动汽车和可再生能源产品的需求。7月份，相关需求攀升了27.5 。
这既凸显了中国石油储备的规模，也表明了其在减少对化石燃料依赖方面取得的进展。
7月份，中国的出口额以美元计增长了23.9 ，而对美国的出口增长了17 。
但过去几周，有迹象表明贸易紧张局势在升级。

由于产能过剩和残酷的价格竞争挤压了利润，中国的制造商通过在7月份寻求增长来应对。
大众汽车控股家族就重组之战发表看法 纽约时报新闻服务（NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE）
一名工会发言人表示，多年来利润首先处于低位。
大众汽车控股家族周五向这家德国汽车集团的股东施压，支持管理层，并反对关闭工厂。这被理解为是对强大的劳工代表和下萨克森州（Lower Saxony）州政府的支持。下萨克森州拥有20 -cent的否决少数股权，这为下半年的紧张谈判奠定了基础。
大众汽车拒绝就此事发表评论。一名公司人士表示，竞争力将不来自严苛的削减，而来自具有吸引力的产品。
他表示，大众汽车将继续捍卫工人的利益并反对关闭工厂。

投资：官员将编制交易手册以作为对话切入点（接B1页）
但其中很少有方案是完全成熟或已准备好动工的。此次峰会的吸引力部分在于卡尼先生，他作为央行行长和商人的名声为人所知，并亲自向许多峰会嘉宾发送了邀请函。而部分兴趣的增加，是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普引发的全球贸易和安全联盟持续动荡的结果。
由于加拿大正与美国陷入贸易战，并就北美自由贸易的未来进行日益激烈的谈判，卡尼先生推动加拿大实现关系多样化的举措，正契合投资者重新思考资本部署地点的时期。这创造了一个有限的机会，将对加拿大的高度关注转化为持久的关系，并让投资资金流动起来。
虽然全球金融精英正在倾听，但压力在于要证明这个国家是认真的，并且已经摆脱了过于胆怯的名声。
“在商业中，当客户处于接受状态的窗口开启时，你必须抓住这个机会，”加拿大养老金计划投资委员会（CPPIB）首席执行官约翰·格雷厄姆（John Graham）在一次采访中表示。“有时你必须提醒世界，加拿大人比起拉布拉多犬，体内有更多的狼性基因，”他补充道。
可能会出现对长期资本具有吸引力的交易和项目，根据《环球邮报》审阅的一份早期草案，这些项目将在峰会上宣布投资承诺。但这些将是“锦上添花”，而非活动的 [...OMITTED...]

可能会很快需要投资。但根据《环球邮报》审阅的一份副本，这将是一封发给国内公司 Cohere Inc. 和量子计算先驱 Xanadu Quantum Technologies Ltd. 的公开信，敦促商业领袖迅速采取行动，开发更多巨型基金。
可能会有对长期资本具有吸引力的交易和项目，根据《环球邮报》审阅的一份早期草案，这些项目将在峰会上宣布投资承诺。但这些将是“锦上添花”，而非活动的主要目标，格雷厄姆先生表示。
成功的衡量标准将是全球投资者是否在峰会后返回家乡并开始“投入真实的时间和资源来研究加拿大”，他说。
他表示：“我们必须准备好。”“全球最大的投资者们……将会来到加拿大，”他说。
与此同时，加拿大公司和投资者需要与那些私募股权领导者合作，举行一场平行的会议，以便与他们建立更深层的关系，而不是派遣代表出席。
一小群全球投资者可能还会主持一个小组讨论，概述他们在进行交易时看重什么。
这些投资者期望政府能为投资“铺好路”，并确保“事情按时发生”，格雷厄姆先生说。
“仅有关注……是不够的。我们必须将全球兴趣转化为投资和合作伙伴关系，”草案中写道。

可利用的机会，以及 9 月 14 日在多伦多举行的一场活动。这些人并非心血来潮就飞过来的加拿大人。这是一项重大的长期交易。嘉宾包括 KKR & Co. Inc. 的首席执行官 Joeseph Bae、PIMCO 首席执行官 Emma-nuel Roman 以及 TPG Inc. 首席执行官 Jon Winkelried 和法国资产管理公司 Ardian 的共同首席执行官 Mark Benedetti。摩根大通首席执行官 Jamie Dimon 和 Graham 先生以及 Carney 先生共同担任本次峰会的共同主办方。Dimon 先生 6 月访问了多伦多，虽然他本人无法出席，但该行的资产与财富管理负责人 Mary Erdoes 可能会出席。伯克希尔首席执行官 Greg Abel（传奇投资者沃伦·巴菲特的加拿大继任者）也不会出席，但将派遣高级同事 Ted Weschler 代替。Wiseman 先生（前顶级投资主管）在规划中发挥了关键作用。据消息人士透露，总理办公室发出的初步邀请函涵盖了全球金融领域约 100 位顶级首席执行官。峰会公布后，请求参加的人员络绎不绝。不可避免地，米尔肯研究所（The Milken Institute）……
这两次聚会并非正式关联，且渥太华最初对可能从峰会中分心的某些首席执行官持犹豫态度。但组织者已变得更加认可中型市场在加拿大推介和构思中的重要性。他们分享了一些信息，例如峰会的初步参会名单。据两位消息人士透露，指导委员会规模很小，大约只有半打人。Carney 先生不在其中，但他显然参与度很高，其幕僚长 Marc-André Blanchard 也是如此。
在 CPPIB，Graham 先生负责管理超过 2200 万加拿大人的 7930 亿加元退休储蓄。PSP 的 Orida 女士在一次采访中表示：“峰会只是开始。它是引发更多活动的火花。”
两年来，CPPIB 和加拿大的其他主要养老基金一直听到类似的推介。他们承受着政府和商业领袖的压力，要求将其共同管理的 2.6 万亿加元资金更多地投资于加拿大。平均而言，这些基金约有四分之一的资产在加拿大境内，而 CPPIB 的国内投资比例为 12%。
CVCA 首席执行官 Benjamin Bergen 在一次采访中表示：“深入探讨细节并进行机密讨论是组织者试图将活动规模保持在较小且私密范围内的原因之一。他们关注重大项目，但究竟是什么能促成这些重大项目？”
Orida 女士（3210 亿加元公共部门投资委员会的首席执行官）曾对 The Globe and Mail 表示，她已与一些渴望了解政府举措、旨在加强加拿大投资环境以及可用工具以帮助项目落地的首席执行官进行过沟通。“我认为这是一个展示已完成工作的机会，”她说，“我们必须确保我们掌控未来，而这要求我们思考计划。”
“这将涉及人工智能，涉及能够赋能我们提取资源、运输石油或砍伐木材的新技术形式。”
将有来自中东大多数主要主权财富基金的高级官员出席，例如沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金、阿布扎比投资局……
关于加拿大养老金首席执行官规划的知识，卡塔尔投资局（Qatar Investment Authority）也持有其中一部分。此外，嘉宾名单已经扩大，但仍有许多杰出的商业领袖未被邀请。
在洛杉矶举行的年度会议上，该机构被认为是商业和政治领袖最顶级的聚集地之一，预计也将宣布一个在多伦多举行的相邻活动，以配合此次峰会。
加拿大“枫叶 8”养老金基金的首席执行官们通过强调其职责是维护养老金领取者的最佳利益，从而保护了他们的独立性。但与此同时，格雷厄姆先生（Mr. Graham）和奥里达女士（Ms. Orida）正利用他们的影响力来激励该国的商业群体，以扩大合适投资的资金池。
一群私募股权高管在发送给 Invest in Canada（一家促进对加投资的机构）首席执行官劳雷尔·布罗滕（Laurel Broten）的文件中提出了他们的主张，认为中端市场投资社区应该在讨论中占有一席之地。
格雷厄姆先生不时地在渥太华密集拨打电话并登门拜访，主张中端市场应该参与其中。当格雷厄姆先生在国外与同行首席执行官会面时，“存在一种真正的好奇心”对待加拿大，但两位消息人士表示，他们仍然听到有人怀疑加拿大是否准备好展示其能够吸收新投资涌入的切实证据。
但此次峰会“不仅仅是一个管道或一个机场”，他说。它是为了创造动力以推动事情落实的“起跑线”。
他说：“也许这有点太‘加拿大化’了。我们必须抓住这个时机。如果你想发出你有雄心的信号，你就不能害怕去做有野心的事情。”
格雷厄姆先生和奥里达女士正领导着一小群加拿大首席执行官，他们正致力于激励该国的商业群体。
此次峰会的正式议程将于 Sept. 14. 以一场盛大的晚宴拉开帷幕。
主活动在第二天，包括全体会议、小组讨论、小型会议以及旨在匹配人员进行场边讨论的礼宾服务，其中大部分将在闭门会议中进行。
加拿大官员正致力于编制一本可供传阅的交易手册，作为对话的切入点，并传达加拿大首席执行官们所能提供的广泛机会。
来自新加坡巨头如淡马锡控股（Temasek Holdings）以及日本金融财团的代表已确认计划参加。
此外，六家银行和许多主要保险公司以及能源、技术和采矿等关键行业的公司高管预计也将到场。大多数全球投资者的投资组合在该国的权重“不足”，占比为 1% 或更低，他说。
为了匹配加拿大在全球市值中的份额，他们认为应该增加两到三倍。
将围绕能源、前沿技术和关键矿产，以及航空航天和国防等关键主题展开小组讨论。参与讨论的小组专家可能包括来自森科能源公司（Suncor Energy Inc.）等石油和天然气行业的领导者，以及较新的初创公司。
“一个健康的国内中端市场是供应链的支撑。”
The Globe 在确认其计划时未透露消息来源的身份，因为他们未获授权讨论活动的机密细节。
TSX与S&P 500收于历史高点，美联储加息预期减弱
加拿大主要股指连续一个月上涨。周五，该指数在矿业和房地产股的带动下上涨1.30%，至26,690.62，再创历史新高。
本周，S&P 500上涨3.58%，纳斯达克上涨5.19%，道琼斯指数上涨2.96%。
多伦多证券交易所的S&P / TSX综合指数上涨244.92点，或0.7%，收于36,381.23，超过了周三的历史收盘高点。本周，该指数累计上涨3.3%，为四个月来最大周涨幅。对利率敏感的房地产板块表现同样出色，上涨1.1%。
由于上月美国就业人数意外下降，市场对美联储在下次会议上加息的预期产生动摇。S&P 500同样收于历史高点。
根据CME FedWatch的数据，市场对9月加息的预期降至约44%，低于之前的55%，且比一周前的67%大幅下降，反映出对美联储加息的预期有所降低。
材料板块（包括金属矿业股）上涨4.7%，主因是金价攀升至七周高点。B2Gold Corp股价跳涨22.5%，IAMGOLD Corp上涨13.7%，两者均助力油价回落，并缓解了可能引发美联储加息的通胀担忧。
伊朗战争潜在和平协议的进展迹象也帮助降低了油价，且美国原油期货结算价上涨1.15%，至每桶$78.18。
AE Wealth Management在堪萨斯州托皮卡（Topeka, Kan.）的首席市场经济学家Tom Siomades表示：“市场应该对疲软的就业数据和更高的通胀做出反应，且在经济增长缓慢可能需要降息而非加息的情况下，市场应该有所反应，但事实并非如此。我们正处于历史记录的高点，所以这就很奇怪。”
埃隆·马斯克的SpaceX在6月首次公开募股后的首批股票禁售期届满一天后，股价飙升15.8%。
随着财报季进入最后阶段，S&P 500中已公布季度业绩的436家公司中，超出分析师预期的公司比例远高于自1994年以来68%的平均水平（根据LSEG数据），其中许多公司的季度营收高于预估值。强劲的财报季也缓解了对AI相关公司大规模支出的担忧，推动美国三大指数均创下最大周涨幅。
在其他波动股票中，协作软件制造商Atlassian飙升35.3%，创下其15个月以来最佳单日表现，此前该公司公布的季度营收高于预期。芯片公司Microchip则跳涨13.9%，创下其最佳单日表现。Altus Group股价跳涨15.1%，因该公司报告了高于预期的季度营收。度假租赁公司Airbnb上涨17.4%，成为S&P 500中的最佳表现股。
在新的美联储主席凯文·沃什（Kevin Warsh）领导下，美国央行并未就货币政策向投资者提供明确的指引。
上月美国非农就业人数减少23,000人，且前两个月的就业人数被大幅下调。
“美国是驱动市场的核心……所以一个通常会被认为是糟糕的弱势数据，反而是好消息
金融板块成为拖累，自4月中旬以来涨幅下滑，导致市场参与者下调季度营收预期。在这种情况之下，“你可能不得不降低利率以刺激就业增长，但如果你降低利率，也将刺激加拿大的通胀。所以你现在处于某种困境之中，然而市场却已经起飞，因为收益表现极其出色，”金融服务公司 Allan Small Financial Group 的高级投资顾问 Allan Small 表示。
保险公司 Sun Life 报告称，由于其亚洲和国内业务强劲，季度利润有所增长。尽管如此，其股价下跌 0.4%。相比之下，Trade Desk 暴跌 21.9%，成为基准指数中表现最差的股票，原因是这家广告技术公司预测第三季度营收低于预期。
市场参与者将注意力集中在经济数据和政策制定者的评论上。道琼斯工业平均指数上涨 151.83 点，或 0.28%，至 54,036.93，但股票收盘下跌 1.2%。标普 500 指数上涨 47.68 点，或 0.62%，至 7,757.64；纳斯达克综合指数上涨 342.26 点。
能源板块下跌 1.1%，尽管油价在不确定的谈判中收复了部分周跌幅。加拿大的就业报告较为乐观，就业人数增加 75,100 个岗位，失业率连续第三次下降。

环球投资者 谁在害怕银行的报告要求？
更换机构可能会让你获得不同的账户、产品和客户。Stein 女士表示，这完全取决于具体情况：问题的类型，但你无法逃避监管义务，因为每家交易商都可以以反映其业务的方式遵守这些规则。
她说道：“CIRO 规定了适用于所有交易商会员的规则……但每家交易商可以以反映其业务的方式遵守这些规则。” 正如 CIRO 在一份描述交易商零售客户 KYC（了解客户）和适当性认定的文件中所述，“我们的要求并非‘一刀切’。”
如果你的女儿感到抵触，那么挑战一家要求提供超出履行其义务所需严格必要信息的机构可能是可行的。你可能还会发现另一家银行或经纪公司提出的问题与你目前的机构不同或干扰较少——但你无法完全摆脱报告要求。
我建议填写表格，忽略广告并继续生活。填写表格的要求更为复杂。经纪公司需要投资
投资者诊所 在过去的几年里，我的银行要求提供个人财富信息，本质上是更新我配偶和我名下的所有资产。我的银行将其称为重大变更表。在填写完毕后，我收到了更多推广金融服务和产品的广告。
我还为我的女儿在同一家银行管理一个自导向投资账户。她以隐私问题为由拒绝进行更新，但银行现在已停止购买任何
加拿大通讯社 加拿大投资监管组织（CIRO），根据该组织，交易商受监管
框架，涉及股票或债券（允许出售，但仍需采取“合理”措施）。这项要求在加拿大所有金融机构中都一样吗？是否有任何方式可以……
关于投资服务和产品的更多广告话题，恐怕我的唯一建议就是警惕印刷品。我发现了一些在 BMO InvestorLine 和 BMO SmartFolio 在线提交的重大变更表格示例。就在签名栏上方，有一个明确的披露，说明您的个人信息将会在 BMO 金融集团内部共享。BMO 表示，它将利用该信息来（除其他用途外）管理您的“总关系”并“提供更好的客户体验”。
股票交易量很简单：它是交易股票的数量，即从卖方转移到买方的股票数量。如果您买入五股，就有人卖出五股，因此交易量将是五股，而不是 10。同样，如果您将房子卖给买家，只有一套房子，而不是两套，在易手。即便如此，如果您发现了某种能神奇地增加住房供应的方法，请将这个秘密告诉这位温哥华居民。我不认为其他银行关于客户个人信息内部使用的政策会有显著不同，但我收件箱依然向电子邮件开放。
关于股票交易时如何计算？我原以为如果有人卖出五股股票，成交量会显示为 10: 五股卖出，五股买入。如果交易仅报告一侧，为什么会这样？
正如多伦多 McCarthy Tétrault 律师事务所证券监管与投资产品组合伙人 Lori Stein 所言，在“了解您的客户”（KYC）义务的通用名称——即国家指令 31-103. 中，明确规定经纪商需要采取“合理步骤”来了解其客户的身份以及个人、财务和投资状况。它还要求至少每 12 个月审查一次该信息（针对管理账户），在其他情况下，审查频率不得低于每 12 个月一次，或每 36 个月一次。对于管理或咨询账户，这些信息尤为重要，因为它们被用于确定针对客户的持续适用性建议或特定投资产品的适用性，尤其是当客户的情况发生变化时。
CIRO 对交易员会员的 KYC 义务期望同样明确。模糊的地方在于这些义务是如何执行的。一些交易商比其他交易商要求更具体的信息，以确认 KYC 要求。这些要求属于加拿大投资监管组织（CIRO）制定的规则。
首先是反洗钱（AML）要求。这些要求由加拿大金融交易和报告分析中心（FinTRAC）强制执行，旨在确保企业不参与洗钱或恐怖主义融资。FinTRAC 的网站概述了报告实体的持续义务，包括但不限于银行和经纪商。这些实体必须保持客户身份信息（如姓名、地址和职业）的最新状态。

《环球邮报》特别报道
McGugan：为了防止自己受到AI泡沫破裂的影响，有几件事可以做。根据高盛对1900年以来美国市场动荡的分析，股票在熊市中通常会损失其价值的20到35百分比。但股票即使在牛市的后期阶段通常也表现良好。标普500指数自2021年以来以加元计算的年总回报率约为16百分比。但向熊市的过渡通常是突然的，且损失可能会持续，尤其是在1929, 1968和2000年这类估值泡沫的情况下。（标普500指数在熊市和回调期间的平均总回报表现，峰值为100。）

平均熊市 平均回调 估值“泡沫” (1929, 1968, 2000)
如果你看到你的投资组合中有三分之一突然化为乌有——即使只是暂时化为乌有——你可能想要降低风险。如果你正处于或接近退休年龄，并且依赖于动用投资组合来支付生活费用，那么这一点尤为真实。如果是这样，你应该考虑如果股票暴跌，而你被迫以底价出售其中一部分来满足眼前需求，会发生什么。结果可能会给你的投资组合留下永久性的缺口。
为了防止这种情况，明智之举是建立一个现金或债券缓冲垫，以帮助你度过未来可能出现的任何困难时期。即使你还没接近退休，你可能也想考虑将投资组合从AI狂热中转移出来。
一些可能吸引寻求安全投资者的简单替代方案是 Vanguard Canada 和 iShares 提供的平衡投资组合。这些基金提供自动再平衡的组合，包含60百分比的全球多元化股票和40百分比的债券。它们是低成本、无需操心的方案，可以将重心向谨慎方向倾斜。
那些只想持有股票的人可能会考虑 Avantis CIBC All-Equity Asset Allocation ETF。这是一个根据严格的量化研究方法选择股票的全球多元化股票投资组合。
最后，一个可能具有吸引力的传统替代方案是将部分资金投入到对AI依赖程度较低的外国市场。是的，它们往往在未来几年内会反弹，但如果投资者关键的前提假设出现“重大下滑”，那么风险将会增加。
股票同样表现良好，价值股也是如此。TSX指数也交付了卓越的结果，年化回报率超过15百分比。
两个指数在五年内都翻了一番。最近的结果在1960年以来所有五年期间中处于前三分之一，而且当你考虑到这并非股票从残酷熊市中反弹的情况时，它们显得更加突出。股票在2021. 90年时就已经相当昂贵了。如今，经过五年的大幅上涨，股票变得更加昂贵。
与潜在销售额或长期收益或股息相比，目前的股价处于历史最高估值水平之一。
诚然，与未来一年或两年的企业盈利高预期相比，如今高企的股价看起来并不那么离谱。但这些乐观的预测基于两个关键假设——
-600 天 -400 -200 峰值 +200 +400 +600 《环球邮报》，来源：高盛
伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司（Berkshire Hathaway Inc.）的案例表明，科技公司将继续投入数万亿加元用于人工智能项目，并且人工智能很快将开始产生巨大的利润，以偿还所有这些支出。这些假设相当大胆。
如果这些假设未能实现，将会出现一次清算。资本经济学（Capital Economics）的人员预计，标准普尔500指数将从目前的 7,700 点左右上涨，并在年底前达到 8,250 点——但他们随后预测，在接下来的 12 个月里，指数将会下跌。
投资者应该如何做才能保护自己免受这种可能性的影响？首先，评估你对股价下跌的承受能力。或者，将投资组合重新平衡，转向更为稳健的部门。
高盛建议投资者仍应关注基础设施、优质房地产、能源或黄金等实物资产。此外，它还建议将投资多样化到分红股中。
沃伦·巴菲特不再掌舵，但他的旗舰公司仍在产生稳健的业绩。更重要的是，该公司积累了巨额现金储备，以便利用未来的任何市场疲软。

Renata是否应该为了继承人而缩小住房规模？规划师表示，母亲应权衡各种替代方案，并考虑辅助生活和舒适度等因素
DIANNE MALEY 财务整容
五年前，Renata卖掉了她在多伦多Beaches地区的一套小型公寓，并在一条更好的街道上买了一套更大、更昂贵的公寓。她使用了所谓的反向抵押贷款购买了这套价值约 $1400万的公寓，因为她的收入不足以获得传统抵押贷款的资格。
与传统抵押贷款不同，反向抵押贷款随时间而增加。借款人放弃房屋净值，以换取无需支付还款。
Renata今年 75 岁，离异，有两个 50 多岁的儿子。她的市政政府养老金、加拿大养老金计划（CPP）和老年保障金（OAS）福利每年合计超过 $50,000。
“我在COVID-19疫情高峰期购买了公寓，想逃离我那套带小阳台的小公寓，”Renata在电子邮件中写道，“我担心封锁时间会很长，而且我所在的Woodbine Beach附近被狂欢的人群侵占，极其嘈杂。”
她自 2021 年起居住的这套更大的公寓有三个卧室（其中一个作为工作室）和一个大露台。“我为了购买这套房子而超出了我的经济能力。”
客户情况 （由申请人提供的收入、支出、资产和负债。）
每月支出：公寓费 $1,310；房产税 $565；房屋保险 $190；暖气
人物：Renata，75 岁。每月税后收入（包括投资收入）：
麦肯齐（MacKenzie）先生表示，按照今天的购买力，那套房子可能价值超过 $100万。
或者，她可以尝试申请一笔 $70,000 的传统抵押贷款来帮助偿还反向抵押贷款，但她必须每月支付本金和利息，且可能只能获批一笔
回报：一条让她的退休收入处于更安全状态的路径。
“A
在这种情况下，问题在于她将没有现金储备以应对可能出现的紧急支出，”规划师说道。
“我想探索将我的反向抵押贷款改为标准抵押贷款的方法，这样我仍然可以在我的遗产中为我的两个成年儿子留下钱，”她写道。
Renata 正在考虑缩小居住规模，搬到一套较便宜的公寓，并在今年秋天结清反向抵押贷款。
这样，她将留下价值 $500,000 左右的遗产。但她担心，如果抵押贷款结清，她仍然拥有价值约 $500,000（按今日购买力计算）的投资。
“在我的年纪，我担心租房的不稳定性以及较小公寓较低的运营成本，我不想在另一个社区重新开始并感到孤立。”
Renata 有一名财务顾问，但她不知道自己赚取的收益率，也不知道该收益率与适当的基准相比如何。“目前的资产配置似乎并非基于目标的。”
最近更新了遗嘱后，Renata 应该有一个家庭会议。
在这种情况下，反向抵押贷款 $400,000 的问题是：她是否应该缩小规模并偿还她的反向抵押贷款？
资产：现金 $4,740；保证投资证书 (GICs) $400；非注册收入基金 $103,190；免税储蓄账户 (TFSA) $300；$174,215；公寓 $1,300,000。总计：$1.7-million。
负债：反向抵押贷款 $463,000，利率 6.59%。
计划：权衡替代方案。她可以继续舒适地住在她的大公寓里，但这样不会给遗产留下太多钱。此外，如果她需要入住辅助生活设施，她可能没有足够的房屋净值来支付费用。
Renata 有三个选择，麦肯齐先生（Mr. MacKenzie）说道。她的第一个选择是放弃留下巨额遗产的目标。
“她可以决定留在大公寓里，看看是否能获得一个房屋净值信贷额度 (HELOC)，出售她的房屋或申请新的反向抵押贷款。”
第二个选择是搬到较便宜的公寓并结清反向抵押贷款。这样，她将留下价值 $500,000 左右的遗产。但她担心，如果抵押贷款结清，她仍然拥有价值约 $500,000（按今日购买力计算）的投资。
这种遗产将来自她的免税储蓄账户和流动投资。
然而，麦肯齐先生有一个警告：如果她需要搬到长期护理院，公寓的价值将被反向抵押贷款完全抵消。麦肯齐先生说，在这种情况下，她的公寓中可能没有足够的净值来帮助支付私人辅助生活费用。
第三个选择是保留较大的公寓，看看是否能获得一个房屋净值信贷额度。
我们请了一位来自新斯科舍省的独立财务规划师沃伦·麦肯齐（Warren MacKenzie）来分析 Renata 的情况。麦肯齐先生拥有特许专业会计师资格。
Renata 的投资中，约 60% 在 GICs 和债券基金中。由于她大部分收入来自政府保证的养老金，规划师表示，她可以考虑一个更多样化的投资组合。
通过这样操作，麦肯齐先生说，她有望给儿子们留下超过 $2-million（按今日购买力计算）的遗产。与此同时，她将有充足的资金支付辅助生活费用，如果她需要的话。
每月支出：公寓费 $5,500；$150；维护、花园 $70；交通 $160；杂货 $400；服装 $100；礼品、慈善 $320；度假、旅行 $480；餐饮、饮品、娱乐 $480；个人护理 $50；运动、爱好、订阅 $30；医疗 $360；通讯 $90。总计：$4,575。
接下来，规划师查看了 Renata 的市政养老金：$700,000。
一个没有养老金的人为了在需要时支付辅助生活费用，必须攒到这个数额。
在 2027, Renata 的年收入将从 CPP、OAS 达到 $54,610。
$75,000。为了确保在执行遗嘱时不会出现意外，会议讨论了相关事宜。投资组合与她的投资相结合，将使雷娜塔拥有足够的收入来偿还现有的反向抵押贷款。HELOC（房屋净值信贷额度）的利率通常低于反向抵押贷款利率。通过这样做，她将降低她的儿子们在遗产分配上产生争执的可能性。
专家表示：“其中一个儿子是执行人，但她正明智地考虑任命一家公司作为执行人。”
“通过减少在礼物和旅行上的支出，雷娜塔可以找到偿还 HELOC 的资金，”规划师说道。
她考虑的第二个方案是出售那套她估值为 $1.3-million 的三居室公寓，偿还反向抵押贷款，然后购买一套 $700,000. 的小型公寓。这样她就能实现两个目标：既能住在她喜欢的房子里，又能给儿子们留下一套没有抵押贷款的房子。
根据 5-per-cent 的平均投资回报率和 2% 的通胀率，如果她继续维持目前的生活方式，在规划师的预测中，到她 100, 岁去世时，反向抵押贷款将增长为一项超过房屋价值的债务。
如果她能将年支出削减至 $46,000 a year，她就能实现她的两个目标：能够留在她喜欢的房子里，并且能给儿子们留下一套没有抵押贷款的房子。
专家指出，她可以继续享受现有的退休生活方式，让反向抵押贷款继续累积，并让她的两个儿子“自食其力”。
“即使她活到 100, 岁，雷娜塔也有足够的收入来满足她的生活需求，”麦肯齐先生说。但这样做会耗尽她几乎所有的资产，无法像她希望的那样给两个儿子留下尽可能多的遗产。
“她希望给他们留下她的公寓和投资组合，”规划师说道。
在规划师的预测中，她的现金流入将是 $61,923.。她的现金流出将包括 $5,768 (she gets a disability tax credit) 以及每年 $56,155 a year 的支出。扣除利息费用后，反向抵押贷款的余额将增加到约 $515,000.。此外，她还有来自投资的 $7,313 收入。

让奥运选手克拉拉·休斯领悟到“彻底停止”之力的那份工作
关于我如何度过我的夏天
六次奥运奖牌得主克拉拉·休es（Clara Hughes）既是自行车运动员也是速度滑冰运动员，她拥有在夏季和冬季奥运会中均获得重大突破的罕见成就。但她从一次夏季兼职工作中汲取的教训，远不止于“努力工作终有回报”。以下是这份收银员工作如何教会当时还是青少年的她：成瘾是真实存在的，其速度之快且无孔不入，几乎能找到任何人。
我通常在夏天训练，但偶尔找份工作也很有趣。在我14或15岁时，我曾在一家药店短暂工作过。那是一家位于我居住地公路下游、名为温尼佩格（Winnipeg）布朗药店（Brown’s Drugstore）的小型家族药店。社区里的每个人都会经常光顾，包括我在内，所以当我需要一份暑期工作时，我准备了一份简单的简历。我可以想象上面写了什么：我会吹单簧管！我会画画！我以前从未有过正式工作。
我无法告诉任何人我在做什么。多巴胺的快感是真实的，而我感觉完全失去了控制。
现在回想起来，我觉得这很有趣，因为并没有发生什么真正糟糕的事情。我学到了一个深刻的教训，并且敏锐地意识到有多少人的生活受到了成瘾的影响，包括我在内。我对任何生活在任何形式成瘾中的人都抱有极大的同情心，因为我记得在初次尝试之后，它占据主导地位的速度有多快。我知道有些人偶尔买张彩票，这只是为了好玩，但我不是那样的人。
在我长大并进入体育世界后，我发现赌博在社会中被完全常态化了。我住在内华达州的里诺（Reno）并在此训练。我意识到这很滑稽且奇怪，因为在许多方面，赌博资助了体育产业以及我能够从事的职业；赌博过去是、现在依然是无处不在的。彩票票据很久以前就让我对其产生了恐惧。这是一个根深蒂固的教训，它一直伴随着我。但
我也长得很高——5英尺9英寸——所以我[...OMITTED...]。我当时看起来可能比实际年龄大，这帮了忙。我想他们每小时付我$5或$6。不管怎样，我当时都非常兴奋，因为这是我人生中的第一份工作，也是我第一次赚钱。他们雇我做兼职出纳来处理处方药；我不需要做任何其他事情，比如理货或清洁。这很简单，但问题在于，就在收银台的有机玻璃下面，放着彩票。人们总是进来买彩票，赢了之后再回来。我敢肯定我这么做是非法的，但每当没人注意或店里没有顾客时，我就在偷偷赌博。就再来一次，就最后一次。我的连胜很快就结束了，然后我陷入了回收模式，到我的赌博狂潮结束时，我丢掉了整整一张工资支票。我感到如此羞愧和尴尬。
即便在孩提时代，这也是有史以来最好的教训，因为它让我意识到赌博是多么具有诱惑力和成瘾性，以及你失去一切的速度有多快。来得快，去得快。我当时非常生气，因为我输掉了全部工资，我想：“这必须停止。”这感觉像是一个不可回头决定点，我可以继续，也可以停止。
当时我大概也意识到了这一点，因为我没告诉我的父母，绝对没告诉我的老板。
我记得当时我玩彩票，而且我相当确定我知道这一点，因为彩票色彩鲜艳、闪闪发光且有趣，我选了一张那种刮刮乐，而且我真的赢了！虽然只有20加元，但相当于我工资的两倍，所以我想：“这太棒了！”我立刻又买了一张，赢了大约$7，之后我又买了一张，结果赢了$15！

一个面向所有加拿大人的职场养老金计划将如何运作 系统需要剧烈变革，以便所有加拿大人都能体面地退休 弗雷德里克·韦特塞（FREDERICK VETTESE）评论 前 Morneau Shepell（现为 Telus Health）首席精算师，《终身退休收入》作者
加拿大的退休收入系统存在严重缺陷。为了解释这个问题，了解该系统目前如何运作会有所帮助。它由三个层级组成，如下表所示。第 1 层包括三个政府资助的项目，第 2 层包含职场养老金计划，第 3 层则是个人可以通过自身储蓄，主要使用 RRSP 和 TFSA。几乎每个人都有资格参与第 1 层和第 3 层，但并非所有人都能参与第 2 层。这是因为雇主可以选择是否资助职场养老金计划，并决定其慷慨程度。
实际上，加拿大的三层退休收入系统倾向于某些人而非其他人。[...OMITTED...]
第 2 层的自愿性质在当时看来可能[...OMITTED...]
对于一对现在26岁并在62岁退休的中等收入夫妇来说，他们退休后的第一年收入占最终薪资的百分比可能高于[...OMITTED...]
像一个良好的运作。它完全消除了对第 1 层和第 3 层需求。虽然一次性解决了这个想法，但 50-70% 结果并不理想。加拿大劳动力中只有 35 的工人参加了第 2 层计划，且很少有新计划在创建。更糟糕的是，现有计划的给付水平参差不齐，一些中层工人（尤其是公共部门）领取的养老金价值高达 $1.5-million，而其他人（在私营部门）赚得仅为其一小部分。
这种情况引发了几个问题。首先，为什么许多雇主选择不提供计划？因为建立养老金计划是一项重大任务，而且坦率地说，许多公司发现它们不需要通过提供计划来吸引工人。其次，为什么不直接废除 CPP、QPP，甚至可能是 OAS，然后加强加拿大和魁北克养老金计划（CPP 和 QPP）作为替代方案？我的回答是，我认为我们将失去某种流程。拥有三个层级是我们制度的最大优势：它在出现财政问题时，能将“传染”问题最小化，使其仅影响其中一层，而其余两层仍能维持。
看看其他国家怎么做，最相关的例子可能是澳大利亚，它在近 20 年前采用了通用 DC 养老金计划。那里的雇主向超级年金基金（Superannuation fund）缴纳工资的 12%，员工无需缴纳。利率之所以需要如此之高，是因为澳大利亚没有类似于 CPP 或 QPP 的独立安排。英国在 2012. 年推出国家就业储蓄信托（National Employment Savings Trust, NEST）时也建立了国家 DC 计划。员工必须缴纳工资的至少 4%，而政府以税收减免的形式代表他们再缴纳 1%。但英国仍存在其他职场计划，因此，这再次证明它与我们的系统并不直接具有可比性。
职场养老金计划（一种覆盖约 35% 工人的自愿系统）为某些人提供了更多收入，但对其他人则毫无用处。在退休时，每个参与者将有多种选择，将其 DC 余额转换为定期退休收入，或许是沿着……
新提案 / 当前情况 / 目标范围：50-70% :--- 拟议的 UCSP，外加 RRSP 中工资的 6% / 73% 拟议的 UCSP，无 RRSP / 64% 联邦公共部门计划 / 96% 无职场计划，仅 中工资的 6% / 52%
计算基于保守的投资回报。所有方案均反映了工资 3% 的 TFSA 缴款。 缴款从 40. 岁开始。 《环球邮报》，来源：作者计算
加拿大退休制度的三层结构： - 第 1 层：OAS（收入测试养老金）提供足够的收入，以满足永久低收入工人的所有需求；CPP / QPP（强制性缴款养老金）；GIS（通过资产调查以帮助低收入退休人员提供基础收入）。 - 第 2 层：职场养老金计划（一种覆盖约 35% 工人的自愿系统）—— 为某些人提供更多收入，但对其他人则毫无用处。对于高收入且没有第 2 层的工人来说，这是绝对必要的；对于其他人来说，则是多余的。 - 第 3 层：个人 和 TFSA ——
退休系统，如果他们愿意的话。对于那些拥有丰厚 Tier 2 养老金或低收入的人来说，最后还有一个更为根本的问题：Tier 2 的低覆盖率真的是个问题吗？我们可以通过询问如果只有 35% 的劳动力被覆盖，是否会成为一个 SUFFICIENCY 问题来回答。
我建议我们将 Tier 2 转化为一个大型的职场养老金计划。这不符合加拿大的方式，而在医疗保健方面不可接受的情况，在退休覆盖率方面同样不可接受。
Tier 2 是退休收入系统的阿喀琉斯之踵，提供了一些人认为过高而大多数人则几乎没有的养老金。如果我们想要实现公平和确保所有加拿大人都能体面退休这两个双重目标，这种情况必须发生剧烈改变。补救措施很简单，但实施起来并不容易，因为来自某些利益相关者的变革阻力将非常强大。我们需要寻找方法，确保他们的总薪酬不
这些观点将在最近由国家老龄化研究所（National Institute on Ageing）发布的一篇论文中详细阐述。
接下来的这一点将具有争议性：如果启动通用超级养老金计划（UCSP），所有现有的职场养老金计划必须逐步退出，以便每个人都能在平等的基础上参与。
补充性的 Tier 2 计划将不被允许，因为允许这些计划会产生一个真正的危险，即人们会重新倾向于目前的系统，从而使 Tier 1 和 Tier 3 对加拿大工人来说变得不再必要。
在 UCSP 启动时，作为养老金计划成员的工人应该被如何处理（祖父条款）？一种极端情况是，所有人立即加入 UCSP。另一种极端情况是，现有的养老金计划成员在退休前留在原计划中，但这些计划不再接受新雇员。
在我们担心过渡之前，我们需要获得支持。显然，现在拥有更好养老金的国会议员或公务员会不喜欢这个提案。
我认为 UCSP 的作用应该是提供足够丰厚的福利，使任何人在退休后都不会经历生活标准的剧烈下降。
8% 的总缴费率对某些人来说可能听起来很低，但图表显示它提供了大约合适的收入水平。在图表中，我假设投资在退休前将获得 5.5 的回报，退休后为 4.5 ，我认为这在一定程度上是保守的。
我对比了四种方案。以一对现在 26, 岁、计划在 62. 岁退休的夫妇为例。
图表显示了这对夫妇在 62 岁时来自所有渠道的预期退休收入，作为一个最终薪资的百分比。通常，正确的退休收入目标在最终薪资的 50 和 70 之间，具体取决于个人情况（单身或
UCSP 的基本特征
UCSP 将是一个定额缴费计划。在 UCSP 之下，所有工人透明地贡献其工资的 4 ，雇主将提供 4-- 的匹配缴费。这些缴费将从税前工资中扣除，并进入一个在退休前不能被雇主或任何债权人触碰的养老金基金。所有缴费在相当高的加元限额内均可抵税。与目前的 Tier 2 不同，相同的税收抵免
结婚、抵押贷款偿还、抚养孩子成本等等——同样的 DC 职场计划将适用于所有加拿大工人，使其在很大程度上保持竞争力。这种新的计划实际上会让这项工作变得更容易，因为它提高了透明度。
在这种情况下，通用加拿大养老金计划（UCSP）应该是一个定额缴款计划，因为此类计划透明且公平。参与者将清楚地知道自己能获得什么，而且没有人在补贴其他人。
每个参与者将能够选择最符合自己风险承受能力的投资资金。此外，还将有一个智能的“默认”选项，供那些无法或不愿选择自己投资选项的员工使用，例如以目标日期基金的形式提供。每位成员预计将产生处于此目标范围内的收入，甚至在与 Tier 3 RRSP 结合使用时有可能超过目标。UCSP 不会一夜之间解决加拿大的退休准备问题。长期的过渡期不可避免，但这正是尽早开始的原因。第一步是让所有利益相关者参与到对话中来。
请注意图表，目前的联邦公共服务计划产生的收入可转化为标准的生活水平。
史密斯策略（Smith Manoeuvre）是否适合您？ MEERA RAMAN
史密斯策略最近引起了我的注意，因为我一直在报道那些带着抵押贷款进入退休阶段的人。
该策略倾向于对处于高税率档位的加拿大人最有意义，因为随着边际税率的上升，税收抵免的价值也会增加，他说道。
史密斯策略是一种加拿大投资策略，旨在将您的常规抵押贷款债务（其利息通常不可抵税）逐渐转换为投资债务。
您在偿还抵押贷款本金（即您获准通过房屋净值信贷额度（HELOC）借款的金额）时，该金额通常会以相同数额增加。然后，您将借来的资金投入到非注册账户中，目标是赚取收入，此时投资贷款的利息是可抵税的。但如果您偿还抵押贷款，您就在增加房屋的净值。您借款的金额是可抵税的。
但买家请注意：史密斯策略并不能神奇地消除您的债务。您实际上是用一种类型的债务替换了另一种债务，同时继续承担债务。
史密斯策略还增加了一个额外步骤。它要求保留记录，向加拿大税务局（CRA）准确显示借款资金是如何使用的，如果您计划申请利息抵扣的话。它还要求长期投资视野以及在继续承担债务的同时承受市场波动的能力。
杰森·佩雷拉（Jason Pereira）是多伦多 Woodgate Financial 的认证财务规划师兼合伙人，他表示，这就是人们需要记住的第一件事。“这是债务，当你借钱时，”他说道。
一个重要的规则是，借来的钱必须用于购买预期能产生收入的投资，例如支付股息的股票。您通常 [...OMITTED...]
应该在短时间内这样做。每个月，你开设一个账户。通常不能借钱投资于一个比时间解释更复杂的账户，”Pereira 先生说。“这其中有抵押贷款还款的部分。在加拿大，你支付的抵押贷款利息通常不能在 TFSA（免税储蓄账户）或 RRSP（注册退休储蓄计划）中申请利息抵扣，因为这些账户—— 使其听起来如此。市场中存在太多的波动性。一部分用于利息，一部分用于——

加拿大水手 Shawyer 为单人环球航行 Vendée Globe 赛事做准备 NEIL DAVIDSON 科林伍德，安大略省。休息也可能很难获得。“只要不会撞到东西，只要船况良好，你就可以睡觉，”Scott Shawyer 说道。在 Emira IV 号——他那艘流畅的 60 英尺赛艇的甲板下方，Shawyer 正在用力转动底座研磨机，汗水挥洒。他所能获得的睡眠是在船底一个像棺材一样的铺位里，铺位上配备了一根绳子以帮助保持身体平直。他不得不定制一个加长版才能躺进去。
像地堡一样的驾驶舱里散布着一团颜色各异的绳索，它们绕在连接船上七面帆的绞盘上。附近的一把大刀阴森地挂在墙上，以备需要切断某些东西时使用。
桅杆顶部的摄像头、雷达警报和红外灯会发出附近有船只或其他障碍物的警告。尽管如此，即使拥有最先进的自动驾驶仪，单人赛艇依然极具挑战性。一系列墙面显示屏是 IMOCA（国际单体船开放类协会）60 船只操作的大脑。它就像一个移动重症监护室，只不过是用来监测船只而非船长。
Shawyer 在 2024 年为期两周的纽约-Vendée 横跨大西洋赛期间，将睡眠闹钟设置为 90 分钟。他仅有一次达到了 90 分钟的睡眠时间。“其他所有时候，我都被闹钟惊醒，

在这个像烤箱一样的空间两端设有像长凳一样的座位，靠近收银台后方的两个座位让肖耶（Shawyer）能够将头伸出去。
另外两个位于前方，像轰炸机上的炮手舱，让肖耶能透过像气泡一样的凸起向外观察。这位来自安大略省科林伍德（Collingwood, Ont.）的54岁男子正准备参加2028年旺代环球赛（Vendée Globe），这是一场被誉为“航海界珠穆朗玛峰”的单人环球比赛。
在天气晴朗的日子里，肖耶可能会冒险到甲板上检查情况，尽管他必须系在安全绳上。但大多数时候，他在下方操控船只。由于他身高6 foot 3, 空间非常局促。
“那艘船是为身高5 [foot] 6设计的，”他感叹道。
得益于能将船体抬离水面以减少阻力并提高速度的水翼，IMOCA 60在启用水翼时可达到40节（75公里 / 小时）的速度。在不使用水翼的情况下，该船的最高速度为15节（28公里 / 小时）。
在跨大西洋比赛期间，肖耶一直处于持续的比赛模式。
“没有就寝时间，没有起床时间，
在我的睡眠闹钟响起之前，它响了一次，也就是说船的情况不太理想。”造成这种情况的原因可能有无数种，从风向或风速的变化到电池需要充电。
为了将体育运动货币化
评论 卡瑟尔·凯利（CATHAL KELLY）
我想对那个因凡蒂诺说，一个月前的那个他，以及现在这个他——他看起来很开心。一个天生的奋斗者
我曾与詹尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）在洛杉矶的SoFi体育场观看加拿大对阵南非的比赛后不久有过一次交集。但看看他现在——憔悴不堪，绝望地在一次又一次的战争委员会之间徘徊。每个人都讨厌这家伙，但他所做的一切不正是如今所有体育主管都被期待去做的事情吗？五十年前，他们可能被描述为圣火的守护者。而现在，他们是隐藏价值的挖掘者。是的，销售世界杯并非他认为的那样是营销上的绝杀。但因凡蒂诺怎么可能被视为除他本身之外的任何其他形象？你是否注意到所有这些加拿大人都有着相同的公众人格？当你想到加里·贝特曼（Gary Bettman）、罗杰·古德尔（Roger Goodell）或亚当·希尔弗（Adam Silver）时，他们融合成了同一个圆滑、亲切的人。友好，但不真诚。聪明，但
除了对箔材的强容忍度外，没有明显的天赋。他说：“没有进食时间，你只是在不断尝试在能睡觉的时候抓紧时间睡觉，在能吃东西的时候抓紧吃东西——无论是白天还是黑夜，没关系。你最终就在比赛结束时到达。”像往常一样，我迷失在环绕着所有美国橄榄球体育场内部的圆形飞机库中。在漫无目的地游荡时，我撞见了因凡蒂诺的闲置车队。这种安全设置通常是为国家元首预留的，我想国际足联（FIFA）认为它确实如此。当我试图溜过去时，那位伟人快步走出来。他身边簇拥着一群穿着西装的壮汉，看起来就像是
这仍然是一场马拉松而非冲刺。而且是一场极其危险的马拉松。在2024,年的最后一届旺代环球赛（Vendée Globe）中，只有40艘船中的32艘完赛，用时从64到114天不等。比利时船长德尼斯·范·韦恩伯格（Denis Van Weynbergh）在117天后也抵达了，但他的时间超过了比赛时间限制约24小时，因此被判定为非正式完赛（hors concours）——排在排名之外。肖耶（Shawyer）正与一名心理学家和一名心理教练合作，后者曾用230天从夏威夷划船到澳大利亚，以准备比赛可能带来的诸多挑战。虽然肖耶可以通过卫星电话联系到亲人及其支持团队，但他表示，这种联系可能是一把双刃剑。“它能给你带来一些快乐和连接，但当你挂断电话时，你会感受到人生中最震耳欲聋的寂静，”他说。肖耶此前从未经历过的晕船又是另一个新的、不想要的麻烦。“这些船完全不同。你被完全封闭在下方。你必须
然而，他预计旺代环球赛将是一个不同的命题。“有更多的时间去思考——内省、恐惧以及各种各样的事情，”他补充道。肖耶正努力成为首位完成该赛事的加拿大人。在1996-97届比赛中，热里·鲁夫（Gerry Roufs）在海上失踪。当时排名第二的他于1997,年1月6,日发送了最后一条无线电消息，详细描述了15米巨浪和高达80节的强风。第二天，他的船只信标停止传输。他在澳大利亚南部的一场剧烈风暴中翻船，这场风暴迫使他退出了2008-09年比赛。如果肖耶能够获得第11届旺代环球赛的资格，他将在被冠名为
“呕吐彗星”。试图努力向外看，而船身的运动速度极快且剧烈，非常容易让人晕船。”对于一艘造价€7-million ($11.3-mil- lion)——肖耶（Shawyer）是以€4- million二手购入——的游艇来说，船上几乎没有任何舒适设施。厕所就是一个桶——“如果你需要使用这个桶，有时最好的办法就是不用它，”肖耶补充道。为了避免晕船，肖耶更换了药物，并花时间练习使用平衡板以适应这种运动。也就是说，有些人天生就难以适应。即便胃口最强健的水手也会受到影响。两名将船从欧洲开过来的船员中，有两人最近第一次感到不适。
而且毕竟大海就在那里。船上携带了一个水壶和淡化水设备。肖耶可以期待在数月的航行中习惯这种颠簸。船上携带的是速冻食品，辅以坚果和巧克力，以及旅途中加热的回收水。

我曾经偶然撞见巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama），当时的情况几乎一模一样。他身边跟着一名在不远处低调随行的人员。前总统与每个人目光接触并指点，我身边的一位女士紧张得必须倚在墙上。
他并不炫耀，而正是这种特质让人们感到不舒服。就像幼儿园老师和生日派对小丑一样，他们擅长与年轻人打交道。运动员们也喜欢他们。这就是人们向往的第一点——成为那样的人。
真正的明星所爱的人正是这类人。

比尔队对在新主场训练感到兴奋 球队将与 Highmark 体育场共同开启新篇章
“风的感觉如何？从我的视角来看，有太多值得关注的事情了，”布雷迪（Brady）说道，并指出他已经针对新体育场的每一种方案举行了无数次会议。布雷迪甚至让比尔队的工作人员为球员家属提供建筑导览。教练最后一件
[...OMITTED...]
Josh Allen 对一些人将布法罗比尔队（Buffalo Bills）的新主场称为“Josh 建造的房子”表示发笑，因为他表示自己与这座建筑的设计或施工毫无关系。
这其实是一个比喻性的绰号，旨在代表自这位明星四分卫 2018. 年加盟以来，比尔队在知名度和竞争力方面所取得的飞跃。
Allen 无法否认的是，他并不太是一个感性的人，在回顾球队的前主场（同样被称为 Highmark 体育场，而现在该球场已变成街道对面的一片废墟）时表现得如此。
“我们在那里度过了美好的时光，”他说道。“但我也期待在新的体育场度过美好的时光。”
对于大多数球员来说，适应新环境不需要很长时间。唯一的例外是特勤组，包括踢球手 Tyler Bass 和布法罗的两名弃踢手，他们必须考虑风向和天气因素。
比尔队将于周六在 Highmark 体育场进行年度“蓝红对抗赛”，这是球队首次在该球场登场，届时预计将座无虚席。
“能成为一支在纽约州西部长期需要新体育场的球队的一员，并参与其首个赛季，这真的很酷，”Allen 周五表示，“显然，这包括季后赛，并且是 NFL 联盟中在 2023 和 2024, 被擒杀次数最少的球队之一，且上赛季在冲球码数方面在联盟中排名第一。”
虽然新体育场没有顶棚，但其设计元素旨在减轻风的影响。
弧形悬挑就是其中一个元素。另一个元素是新体育场的高度更高，且采用了南北走向。这与之前的东西走向截然不同，之前的设计会导致来自伊利湖的阵风被引导并在体育场碗状区域内盘旋。
“我很想在刮风的日子里去那里看看，”长传中心 Allen 说道，“我想在那里练习几次，才能大致摸清球场不同区域的情况，因为风可能会有一点盘旋。”

总经理 Brandon Beane 表示，他不希望球员在比赛日因为找不到入口而分心。“这就像是真正走进一座价值 US$2.1-billion 的设施，”Beane 说。“是的，会有所不同，我们要做的首要任务就是尽可能多地带领球队前往那里，让那里感觉像家一样。”
比尔队投资保护 Allen，签下 Torrence 纽约州皮茨福德。比尔队总经理 Brandon Beane 继续优先考虑保护四分卫 Josh Allen，于周五通过与首发护卫 O’Cyrus Torrence 签署一份为期四年的合同延期协议，实现了这一目标。Torrence 的新合同包含 US$46-million 的保证金额。
Torrence 的新合同紧随比尔队与中心 Reid Ferguson 签署的一份为期 1 年、价值 US$52-million 的合同之后。比尔队宣布了此次签约，而一名了解交易细节的人士于 3 月提供了相关信息。
“他值得每一分钱，”长传中心 Allen 说道，他将这名球员昵称为“CyBo”。“过去几年他一直为我们提供稳定的支持。他会继续变得更好。CyBo 就是那样的人。”
货币条款。布法罗队的进攻线在2024.以来基本保持不变。而且，在四名回归的首发球员中，包括左截锋Dion Dawkins在内，他们目前的合同至少持续到2027.。
进入本赛季，布法罗进攻线的唯一变化是在左后卫位置上，Alec Anderson和Austin Corbett将竞争首发位置，该位置在David Edwards于3月自由身离队前往新奥尔良后空缺。

随着Alouettes队伤病问题增加，Elks队将造访
FRÉDÉRIC DAIGLE 蒙特利尔
温哥华 鉴于练习中缺少关键球员，这在预料之中，但周五公布的Alouettes队名单确认了人们所担心的：重组后的蒙特利尔防线将不得不减缓埃德蒙顿Elks队在莫尔森体育场（Molson Stadium）的进攻速度。中线卫Geoffrey Cantin-Arku（内收肌）、后卫Najee Murray（头部）和Wesley Sutton（小腿）以及防守[...OMITTED...]
四分卫Nathan Rourke将回归B.C. Lions阵容，并在周六于B.C. Place体育场对阵汉密尔顿Tiger-Cats的CFL比赛中首发。
这位2025年的联盟最有价值球员在7月17日于埃德蒙顿对阵Elks队的比赛中，在开场进攻驱动时被擒杀，导致非投球臂肩膀受伤。Rourke因此缺席了那场19-17失利以及随后Lions队（2-5），但他在本周恢复了全面练习。
这位28岁的人出生于维多利亚并在[...OMITTED...]
……任何人都不能说一名资深冲传手Bradley Chubb坏话，他是终极队友。Chubb可能是在Bills队度过的第一个赛季，但他之前四个赛季在迈阿密海豚队（AFC东区竞争对手）效力，因此习惯于在布法罗比赛。
尽管渴望在的新体育场比赛，Chubb表示他会想念旧的那个。“那是老派的感觉。每个人共用同一个隧道，更衣室不是特别现代化，淋浴水很冷，尤其是外面冷的时候，”他说。“但你知道，改变是好事。新就是好。”
对于Beane来说，这份协议代表了他为了在长期内保持布法罗进攻线完整而进行的最新重大投资。“我们想要保护进攻线，而这就是一切的起点，”Beane在提到Allen时说道。
在告别他们那座陈旧、实用、走廊阴暗狭窄且设施匮乏的家后，Bills队正向现代化时代过渡。从新的视线、音响系统，旨在减轻风力影响的弧形顶棚，到取代人造草皮的天然草坪，这里将有很多需要适应的地方。Beane表示，现在不再有让两队球员挤在一起的狭窄隧道，主场和客场更衣室现在是分开的，且位置更高，似乎能更直接地观察比赛进程。甚至座位配置也将不同，60,000多个座位层叠排列。
美联社（The Associated Press）。该人士在要求匿名的情况下向美联社发表评论，因为球队未透露合同价值。
进攻线球员 Mustafa Johnson（安大略省奥克维尔）被列为周五比赛的先发球员，（膝盖）将缺席周六对阵 Tiger-Cats (3-5) 的比赛。CFL 的两支顶尖球队将在此次对决中交锋。在 Rourke 出场前，B.C. 队的战绩为 1-2，但上周以 35-19 击败了温尼伯蓝 Bombers 队。主教练 Jason Maas 表示，球员的缺席不会改变他面对前蒙特利尔四分卫 Cody Fajardo 的应对方案。

新秀先发球员 Kaidon Salter 在击败温尼波格队的比赛中，15 次传球完成 7 次，传球码数 96 码并获得一次达阵，同时冲球 160 码——这是该球队四分卫的单场纪录，也是 CFL 历史上的第五高纪录——并将 2,788 码的传球码数交给了 Davis Alexander（截至第 9 周），同时将进攻主导权交给了蒙特利尔 Alouettes 队 (7-1)，后者本赛季仅输掉一场比赛。23 岁的 Salter 和跑卫 Zander Horvath 合计冲球 351 码，而 Lions 队创下了单场冲球 377 码的俱乐部纪录。
在两队的首次直接交锋中，Fajardo 遭遇了其作为 CFL 先发球员的首次——也是目前唯一的——常规赛失利。麋鹿队 (6-2) 目前领跑西部赛区，在第 3. 周的比赛中，麋鹿队在加时赛中以 32-29 击败了 Alouettes 队。
“他们到目前为止表现出色。我们已经在他们的主场打过比赛，知道他们的风格，而且他们做得非常好，”Fajardo 说道。“与 Davis 相比，他们处于一个不同的水平。”
“我不确定我们现在是否在担心谁缺席或谁没能出场，”Maas 本周表示。“我们的训练馆里有 70 多名 (18-1) 球员，他们每一个人都能上场并保持高水平的发挥。所以这是我们最不需要担心的事情。接替他们位置的球员都参加过比赛，且都担任过先发。”
“接替 Cantin-Arku 担任先发中线卫的是 Micah Awe，而 Faion Hicks 将接替 Murray 的位置。Decarius Hawthorne 和 Ty Anderson 将分担 Johnson 的位置，”Fajardo 知道 Alouettes 队在上次交手中势头凶猛，冲球 179 码并获得两次达阵。
Lions 队的防守在最近三场比赛中有所加强，仅允许对方获得 4 次达阵，并增加了 5 次截球。
在 B.C. 队的阵容中，除了 Rourke 之外，跑卫 James Butler 在因脚伤缺席后回归，他也是关键的一环。Butler 在 62 次携带中冲球 296 码并获得 4 次达阵，另有 121 码的接球码数。
“我的意图不是在状态不佳的情况下回归，从而无法帮助球队，”Rourke 早些时候在温哥华告诉记者。“我想在接替一名健康的球员之前，确保我的状态尽可能接近巅峰。要保持健康，作为一名进攻球员，你必须尽一切努力。上一次恢复时间比这次长了一点。”
“蒙特利尔是个艰难的比赛场地；我个人很了解那里。去年我们能够在赛季末惊险获胜，”Maas 说道。“我们需要像我们平时那样，无论 60 分钟还是多久，都要全力打满四个节。”
Rourke 的传球完成率 71.3% (107-150)，传球码数 1,403 码，获得 5 次达阵。在本赛季他的 5 场比赛中，他被截球 4 次。
在接球榜单上，蒙特利尔的 Tyson Philpot (1,023 码) 和 Tyler Snead (794 码) 位居前列。
与球队的 16 次相比，防守端 David Perales 的防守受到了一些冲击，但有 51 码的接球。说他将是周六值得关注的人物可能还过于保守。汉密尔顿队将由 Harrison Frost 先发，他取代了在 44-20 输给卡尔加里的比赛中受伤的 T.J. Guy。
这位 27 岁的 Frost 在 20 次传球中完成了 9 次，获得 165 码，一次达阵和一次被截球，并且还丢失了一次球。
这场对决充满了悬念，因为 Fajardo——以及前 Alouettes 接球手 Austin Mack——将回到蒙特利尔，此前他们在上周 28-26 输给萨斯喀彻温省 Roughriders 的比赛后。资深四分卫 Bo Levi Mitchell 在 7 月 5 日 14-13 输给温尼伯的比赛中因脚踝受伤接受手术后仍然缺阵。汉密尔顿队在 36 岁老将缺阵期间的战绩为 1-3。
Maas 补充说，限制进攻端的失误并在防守端执行好擒抱将是关键。他表示：“我对他们非常熟悉。我把他们看作任何人一样，我在蒙特利尔的时候跟他们打了两年，这就把赛季系列赛打平了。”
“我们在进攻端失误了几次，在某些区域，”Mack 本周在埃德蒙顿告诉记者。“我当时在想，‘这是个低迷年，但我会想，怎么会是低迷年？’”他说。
“我过去两年在这里，Bo 承担了 99% 的传球次数，”Frost 周四在汉密尔顿表示。“机会并不经常出现，在任何级别，能有机会回去都不多见。我会尽我所能，尝试抓住这次机会。”
“他们一直在失误，到处乱飞，他们拿到了擒杀，给四分卫施加了压力。”
在球场的另一侧，Fajardo 也赞扬了他的前替补和 Alouettes 的进攻端。关于如何擒抱 [Rankin]，他说：“我认为他在那场比赛中做出了一些出色的表现，当时我们以为抓住了他。”
这位 34 岁的 Fajardo 帮助 Alouettes 在 2023 年夺得灰杯，随后蒙特利尔在 2024 年后将他交易至埃德蒙顿。
Tiger-Cats 将在 6 月 19 日主场 41-27 获胜后，尝试横扫赛季系列赛。

挪威足球协会要求因凡蒂诺下台 FIFA主席在其出售世界杯股份计划失败后面临反弹
詹姆斯·罗布森 (JAMES ROBSON) 英国曼彻斯特
挪威足球协会要求吉安尼·因凡蒂诺 (Gianni Infantino) 立即辞职，这给周五陷入困境的FIFA主席增加了更多压力。
因凡蒂诺在出售世界杯股份的计划失败后正面临一场反弹。
挪威足协表示，将就FFE（FIFA前向企业）、授予唐纳德·特朗普的和平奖以及福拉林·巴洛根 (Folarin Balogun) 在世界杯被禁赛一场等问题向FIFA提出质疑。
“当信任消失时，领导力也必须被评估。因此，我们认为吉安尼·因凡蒂诺担任FIFA主席的时间应该结束，并要求他辞职。”
挪威足球协会主席莉丝·克拉文内斯 (Lise Klaveness) 已要求FIFA主席吉安尼·因凡蒂诺辞职。 TERJE BENDIKSBY / NTB / AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES
这一声明是对因凡蒂诺的最新打击，因为人们对他试图通过一家名为“FIFA前向企业 (FIFA Forward Enterprise, FFE)”的商业子公司出售世界杯利润的争议计划仍持有不满。
它重申了其立场，即它对因凡蒂诺失去了信心。
本周早些时候，因凡蒂诺在摩洛哥拉巴特与FIFA高层举行峰会期间，似乎暂时压制了内部反弹的可能性。FIFA表示，与会人员给予了主席全力支持。
但欧足联 (UEFA) 的反应，以及随后挪威直接要求其辞职，表明来自欧洲（尤其是）的愤怒情绪依然强烈。
英格兰足球协会也撤回了对因凡蒂诺明年三月连任的支持。
不过，他确实得到了墨西哥足协的支持。克拉文内斯主席周四表示，做出这一决定是为了要求因凡蒂诺重新审视。
“FIFA需要新的领导层来重建信任，加强良好治理，并确保组织自身的改革通过商业子公司真正实施，而不是放弃计划并为此道歉，”克拉文内斯通过翻译说道。
欧足联周四表示，抵制世界杯和其他FIFA赛事的威胁依然有效。
通过最现代的碳排放净零思考方式来举办赛事？谁想要这份工作？如果那样的话，你的车队在那个情况下会发生什么？这没问题吗？
在世界杯决赛后的领奖台上，他们全部拒绝了他的拥抱。
关于下一届世界杯决赛将移至摩洛哥以换取该国支持的承诺，《泰晤士报》认为，因凡蒂诺正尝试一切手段来保住工作：威胁、诱骗、恳求。 见 B13
因凡蒂诺的想法是足够好的。世界杯是世界上最赚钱的体育赛事，为什么不尽可能榨干每一美元？
拟议的总金额巨大。价值 US$4.2-billion。共有 211 个成员协会。税后，并非所有成员国都能分到这笔意外之财。或者分得不够。
马克·卡尼 (Mark Carney) 在该赛事的其他共同主办国那里获得了更多的关注。
最基本的层面，即策略。因凡蒂诺（Infantino）被留在后面追逐它？他并不像计划那样去，扣除额、奖金和行政成本，那算什么？每人一百美元？为什么欧洲的管理机构欧足联（UEFA）要用如此微小的金额来交换西班牙和葡萄牙。现在有一种人试图在舞台上操纵唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump），把钱留给自己。一个在这种赛事在战争阴影下崩溃的世界里，体育组织想要两个像尴尬的父亲在高级餐厅里追逐蹒跚学步的孩子那样的人——完全掌控的表象，并在之后像奥兹曼迪亚斯（Ozymandias）那样，因其宏伟工程而被神化。
在这种地位的人需要什么？几个十亿。他们中没有人会进球，或带领球队，或赢得任何东西。他们不会重塑文化，或取得响亮的社会突破——那些曾经至少有可能实现的事情。
因凡蒂诺可能认为他能跑赢这场火，但在本周中，欧足联（UEFA）宣布其成员协会计划抵制未来的国际足联（FIFA）赛事。他们希望找出如何解雇他，而美国总统显然已经不再接他的电话了。无论如何，因凡蒂诺试图坚持下去。
摆脱因凡蒂诺当然无法解决任何问题。将下一任领导者货币化的冲动将同样强烈。如果你希望出现一个传统主义者，遗憾的是，他们就在那里，而那就是新的传统。
他们唯一能发出的信号就是他们能看出因凡蒂诺思维过程中的智慧。如果我要做一件大事，现在就是时机。
因凡蒂诺没有充分考虑到他汇报工作的人——即国际足联的国家足球协会。国际足联不得不否认一份关于所有他们挖掘出的财富的报告。
如果因凡蒂诺面对的是几十个亿万富翁业主，这个提案将不会引起争议。相反，他认为特朗普是他的理想人选，但因凡蒂诺的上司们现在讨论的是买什么样的岛作为他的生日礼物——一个热带岛屿，或者一个有座像骷髅一样的山的岛。首先，他采用了含蓄的威胁。然后他尝试诱导。最后，他沦落到恳求。

Hossler领跑温亚姆锦标赛，Bradley勉强维持季后赛希望
北卡罗来纳州格林斯伯勒 —— 戏剧性的一幕。基根·Bradley（Keegan Bradley）在联邦杯（FedEx Cup）排名第75位，他并不清楚自己最终的排名情况。
博·Hossler（Beau Hossler）在联邦杯排名第72位，对此并不在意。他在周五的最后六洞中，有三洞抓到birdies，并在最后一洞推进一个11英尺的birdie推杆，最终以67杆（低于标准杆3杆）完赛，总成绩137. 这使他在温亚姆锦标赛（Wyndham Championship）中取得了领先一杆的优势。此外，乔丹·Spieth（Jordan Spieth）排名第55, 他已准备好迎接季后赛，并希望在首场季后赛赛事后向进入前50名迈进，从而锁定所有价值US$20-百万美元的签名赛事。Spieth在加拿大的职业赛首秀中打出77-69，目前并列第54位。
“你不可能永远保持每一项优势。最好是休息一段时间，调整好身体，争取明年回来打出好成绩。”Day说道。
“我希望本周能有机会在3M公开赛（3M Open）中出场，打出一些低分并进入季后赛，”Bradley在意识到锦标赛已过半时说道。
在最后几个小组中，情况变得复杂。一度，Christiaan Bezuidenhout有一个20英尺的birdie推杆，而Ben Kohles在第一洞打出eagle，随后在接下来的洞中保持under，周五打出67, 这使他进入周末的短杆组，目前排名第68位，为自己争取到了空间。
Hossler从未在PGA巡回赛中夺冠，他只需要在联邦杯中进入前70位即可。他距离预测截杆线仅差一杆。他曾一度将发球击球打到右侧树林中，勉强将球击回球道，随后用挖起杆将球击至洞口3英尺内，但三推导致double bogey，遗憾错过。
比这更令人沮丧的是Bradley、Andrew Putnam（第73位）和Austin Mac Meissner（第71位）以及第76位球员。他们都错过了。
正如往常一样，Spieth带来了戏剧性。他在打最后一洞时处于截杆线边缘。当他错过第18洞时，他处于预测截杆线内（低于标准杆4杆）。他当时处于12-under 128，并领先Ben James一杆——后者在加拿大公开赛中领先36洞并最终进入前50名——以及来自英格兰的Jordan Smith。第一步是通过36洞截杆，而当时确实有充足的空间。
在联邦杯排名中，那些能够晋级季后赛的前70名球员中，只有少数几位在截杆线边缘徘徊。当Davis Chatfield在最后一洞打出bogey，使三位低于标准杆的球员排名下滑至并列第64位时，他们获得了一定的喘息空间。前66名球员可以晋级，只要排在他之前的球员不超过三位。
其中遗憾出局的是Jason Day，他已在季后赛中连续征战18年。Day目前在联邦杯排名第70位。
Smith打出64杆，仅落后一杆。Brooks Koepka（第86位）打出66杆，并列第21位。他可以通过在3M公开赛中打出低分并进入季后赛来晋级。
Jackson Koivun在6月刚转为职业球员并在首赛中获胜。

Niewiadoma-Phinney 赢得蒙旺图赛段 2024年冠军在仅剩两个赛段时领先
法国，蒙旺图（MONT VENTOUX）——卡塔齐娜·尼维亚多玛-菲尼（Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney）周五在攀登蒙旺图山时发起决定性进攻，赢得了环法女子赛的第七赛段，并从马伦·罗伊瑟（Marlen Reusser）手中夺得总成绩领先地位。
这位2024年的冠军在穿上黄色领骑衫时流下了眼泪。在仅剩两个赛段的情况下，她目前领先2023年冠军德米·沃尔勒林（Demi Vollering）15秒，领先罗伊瑟39秒。
“我太累了，对刚刚发生的一切感到非常震惊，”尼维亚多玛-菲尼说。“当我开始攀登时，我看向右边，看到我的父母站在路边。他们今天给了我一个惊喜。我看到父亲在为我呐喊，我觉得我必须让他感到自豪。”
当尼维亚多玛-菲尼在距离旺图山顶约九公里处突围时，罗伊瑟和沃尔勒林无法跟上。旺图山是自行车运动中最具标志性的攀登路段之一，呈现出荒凉的月球景观。
这是尼维亚多玛-菲尼首次赢得环法赛段冠军，她在赢得2024年总冠军时并未获得过单赛段冠军。

在最后几百米，这位波兰车手咬牙坚持，在沃尔勒林和两届环意赛冠军、意大利车手埃莉萨·隆戈·博尔吉尼（Elisa Longo Borghini）在身后紧追的情况下，在阳光的映照下举起双臂冲过终点线。
随后，她几乎因疲劳而失去平衡，不得不由人搀扶下车。
片刻之后，她坐在路边露出灿烂的笑容，将冷却水浇在头上。
“我从不为了获胜而追求胜利，我锁定目标是因为我喜欢现在这种美妙的感觉，”嫁给前男子环法赛冲刺手泰勒·菲尼（Taylor Phinney）的尼维亚多玛-菲尼说。
两年前，尼维亚多玛-菲尼在最后一赛段击败沃尔勒林，以仅四秒的优势赢得世界计时赛冠军。
“我[之前]和朋友以及丈夫一起来过蒙旺图，我们爬了三次山，”她回忆道。“因为从那时起，我就想再次体验那种感觉。纯粹的骑行之乐，就像我还是个孩子一样。”
在前往旺图山的途中共有三个较小的攀登点，旺图山被评为 Hors Catégorie（特级）攀登——这是最难的级别——在15.7公里的攀登过程中，坡度接近9%。
旺图山曾多次出现在男子环法赛中。在环法历史上最黑暗的日子里，英国车手汤姆·辛普森（Tom Simpson）在1967年的一次艰苦攀登中因虚脱而去世。
周末收官
周六的第八赛段是一条172公里的平坦路线，适合冲刺手，终点设在尼斯，比赛将在周日另一个山地赛段后于此处结束。
第9赛段包含四个陡峭的攀登点，其中包括坐落在俯瞰摩纳哥小公国的山丘中的埃兹角（Col d’Èze）。
罗伊瑟在终点前苦战，但在冠军争夺战中失去了宝贵的时间。这位瑞士车手完成了该赛段。
在15.7公里的攀登接近尾声时，沃尔勒林率先甩掉罗伊瑟。沃尔勒林率先领先，罗伊瑟和尼维亚多玛-菲尼随后跟上，其他人则落在后面。随后尼维亚多玛-菲尼发起进攻，尽管沃尔勒林在车座上起立试图追赶，但赛道领先者（尼维亚多玛-菲尼）保持了极佳的节奏，且实力过于强劲。
罗伊瑟在终点前挣扎
“我的想法是我必须独自到达雷纳德小屋（Chalet Reynard [距离终点六公里处]），”尼维亚多玛-菲尼说。“因为从那里开始，逆风将会非常强，追赶者会尝试尽可能长时间地紧跟在彼此身后。”
在最后阶段，沃尔勒林和博尔吉尼两人都排在她前面。

并且平静地，在 Lily Wykes 的陪伴下，由他的妻子 Laraine 以及女儿 Anne, July 28, 2026. Graham 是一个正直的人，拥有领导力以及对人们无限的爱。他穿着最喜欢的格子睡衣，于 2026 年 7 月 28 日在 Campbell (Brydon) 临终关怀中心 (Campbell House Hospice) 平静去世，此前经历了从 2020 年一次脑损伤开始的长期缓慢衰退。Melissa (Ryan) 和 Emily (Andrew) 在侧。他们忠诚的 55 年婚姻为建立一个充满爱的家庭奠定了基础。他是一位体贴且自豪的父亲和祖父，是 Luke, Abigail, Phoebe, Nate, Brianna 和 Gwen 的祖父。他将被他的侄子、侄女、表亲以及他在世界各地结识的许多终身好友深深怀念。他的缺席将令我们的大家庭、朋友以及他在 RP Investment Advisors 的同事们感到悲痛。他是一个优秀的人，深受爱戴。
在毕业于多伦多大学牙科学院后，他于 1949 年回到欧文萨وند (Owen Sound)，并在接下来的八十年里过上了充满活力的生活。Milton 建立了一家大型且持久的牙科诊所，并相信礼貌、技巧，且极其关心对他重要的人。他在该地执业超过 50 年。他的诊所是安大略省首批牙科团体诊所之一。Milton 曾担任欧文萨وند牙科协会主席，以及几家格雷 (Grey) 和布鲁斯 (Bruce) 医院牙科职员的主席，并当选为安大略牙科协会理事会成员。
Stewart 出生于蒙特利尔，比他的兄弟 Frank 早出生几分钟。他热爱成为双胞胎。敏锐的才智、温和的幽默感和谦逊的结合，给许多他遇到的人留下了深刻印象（酒窝也没带来坏处）。他由父母 Ross Robertson 和 Lawrence 以及 Hazel (Phillips) 和 Gordon Bigham 抚养长大。1946 年，他搬到多伦多，就读于 Park Collegiate。他在学生会和体育活动中非常活跃。他结交了终身好友，并被选入市全明星足球队。随后他前往西部大学学习商业，在那里他遇到了他一生的挚爱 Joan Lauder。
他是一位支持兄弟 Beryle (John), Gerald (Anne) 和 Howard (Margie) 的好兄弟。他是一位天才的押韵诗和贺卡创作者，而且是个冰淇淋大胃王。他擅长将计算机、财务模型、房屋设计重新利用，并为他的宠物准备了一本包含 62 个绰号的目录。
在所有职业和公民成就之上，Milton 最大的快乐就是他的家人。Milton 生命中拥有两段伟大的爱情。他于 1949 年与 Frances Buchanan 结婚，两人共同度过了 62 年的婚姻生活。在 Fran 于 1976 年去世后，他再次找到了爱情，并于 1977 年与 Jean Buchanan Tennant 结婚，两人共同分享了许多美好的十年，直到 Jean 于 2023 年去世。
以幽默、乐观和对他所遇到每个人的真诚情感而闻名，Milton 深深地融入了欧文萨وند的肌理。他是一个狂热且好胜的卷曲球运动员，也是一名热情的高尔夫球手，曾打出与年龄相符的杆数。Milton 热爱体育和社区参与带来的同僚情谊。他被选入市全明星足球队。
在伍德斯托克 (Woodstock) 长大，Fred 培养了对曲棍球的热情（Leafs 队加油！），以及对勤奋工作的重视。1970 年，Joan 和 Stewart 在 Sheldrake 大道买了一栋房子，随后全家搬入，分享了许多美好的时光。36 年来，他们一直在一起。他学习经济学，在西部大学继续他的研究生。他被 Nancy Bye (Harvey Wrightson) 和 Stephen Bye (于 2018 年去世) 怀念。他 83 岁时...
他们在欧文萨وند（Owen Sound）建立了广泛且深厚的友谊圈，以及无与伦比的家庭友谊和社区意识。这些回忆将在这个艰难的时刻提供支持。他们在渥太华建立了家庭并开启职业生涯，在那里他们有着深厚的联系。他们曾就读于女王大学——在那里他遇到了拉雷恩（Laraine）。
2020, 年，他们搬到了欧文萨وند。拜 / 坦南特（Bye / Tennant）家族感谢所有人的照顾，特别是蕾切尔·麦卡特尼（Rachael McCartney）、洛里·舍泽（Lori Scherzer）和米歇尔·戴维斯·斯特拉比（Michelle Davies Straby）。
火化已完成，追思会将于9月10日（星期四）在圣徒圣公会（Saints Anglican）和布罗姆利路浸信会（Bromley Road Baptist）举行。仪式将在多伦多巴瑟斯特街366号的 Cardinal Funeral Home 举行。米尔特（Milt）在季节退休公寓（Seasons Retirement Residence）的许多朋友将深切怀念他。
1979, 年，全家划船前往彼得伯勒（Peterborough），以享受与孙辈共度的宝贵时光。他们调查并租赁了一栋度假小屋。这次前往阿尔冈昆（Algonquin）广阔岛屿的朝圣之旅，最终在被称为卢恩度假村（Loon’s Retreat）的查普曼小屋（Chapman cottage）停靠。斯图（Stewie）在这里度过了许多最快乐的时光：早起划船寻找驼鹿、与弗兰克（Frank）共庆生日派对、拍摄潜鸟和风景、蒸桑拿、烧烤、生火……
退休后，斯图和琼（Joan）搬到了科林伍德（Collingwood），在那里他们享受着由新老朋友组成的社交圈。他打高尔夫球，开始练习冰壶，加入了Probus，并继续热爱志愿者工作。他在蓝山艺术基金会（Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts）的志愿者角色，是他热爱逛小型画廊和支持新兴艺术家的自然延伸。
斯图先于父母弗朗西斯（Frances）和杰克·卡特（Jack Carter）、兄长约翰·“赫比”（John “Herbie”）以及双胞胎兄弟弗兰克（Frank）去世。
他们在欧文萨وند建立了一个广泛且强大的朋友社区，以及无与伦比的家庭关系。他留下的笑声、智慧、感激和善良的遗产，通过他珍爱的家人，包括他的八个孙辈和九个曾孙辈，以及许多侄子、侄女和所有亲爱的家庭成员而延续。米尔特深受许多人的爱戴和钦佩。
回忆包括年度冬季狂欢节、社区玉米烘烤活动和无数次的后院晚餐。那个地方很特别。
为了纪念米尔特，捐款可赠予格雷-布鲁斯临终关怀中心（Grey Bruce Hospice）或乔治亚海岸联合教会（Georgian Shores United Church）。在线吊唁请访问 www.woodfuneralhome.ca。
弗雷德（Fred）是一位尽职的公共服务人员，在加拿大广播电视和电信委员会（CRTC）监管贝尔（Bell）公司工作了 30 多年。他的专业知识和教学技能使他能够为全球提供咨询，例如：印度、津巴布韦和特克斯和凯科斯群岛。他以友好、正直和领导力著称。弗雷德的生活根植于坚定的基督教信仰。这体现在他爱家人、建设社区以及以同情心和尊重对待每个人的方式中。他在生活的每个阶段都信赖上帝的供应。除了鲜花，捐款给布罗姆利路浸信会（Bromley Road Baptist）将是一种祝福。

托德·安德鲁·考恩（Todd Andrew Cowan）于 July 29, 2026, 平静去世，其挚爱的妻子亚历山德拉·巴布考克（Alexandra Babcock）和心爱的女儿阿莱格拉（Allegra）在侧。托德以无穷的精力、坚定不移的乐观态度拥抱生活，
（补充缺失部分）： 私人仪式已经举行。追思会将于今年秋季在欧文萨وند举行。除了鲜花，请考虑向 Kensington Hospice 捐款。米尔特和珍在莱斯教堂墓地（Leith Church Cemetery）重逢。
妻子 Joan；以及子女 Scott (Annette) 和 Julie (James Boyd)。作为 Thomas 和 Isabel Crerar 之子，Tom 出生于汉密尔顿，就读于希尔菲尔德学校和上加拿大学院，并在多伦多三一学院获得了哲学和英语文学学士学位。在希尔菲尔德学校短暂任教后，他将目标定为成为公立系统的中学教师，为此他回到多伦多大学攻读更严谨的英语语言文学学位，并在伦敦大学教育学院以及巴黎学习。他曾在 Berlitz 学校任教，并在法国文化协会（Alliance Française）上课。
1956年早春，Tom 带着谦逊的低调和亲切的微笑来到世间。他拥有令人惊叹的能力，能让周围的每一个人都感到被重视。我们因失去这样一位非凡的人而深感悲痛。他的孙子们 Henry、Johnny Carter 和 Tobin 以及 Marshall Boyd 将深切缅怀 Grampy。
Todd 出生于 1968年10月12日的蒙特利尔，在圣凯瑟琳斯长大。他的至亲包括深爱他的父母 Jeannie 和 John Cowan；他忠诚的兄弟 Jay (Glenda)；以及他体贴的姐妹 Heidi (Michael)。Todd 还留下了他的嫂子和姐夫 Whitney (Rob)、Courtney (Miles) 和 Blair (Christy)，以及 John 的妻子 Greer，他们将深切思念他，但或许不像所有认识他的狗那样想念他——那些狗称他为“Food Guy”。此外还有四个侄子和七个侄女，以及姻亲 Dorothy 和 Larry Babcock。
在毕业于西部大学艾维商学院后不久（期间他还是校队的滑雪赛车手和赛艇运动员）， 搬到了卡尔加里，最初在 Knowlton Realty 进入房地产领域。1996年， 加入了多伦多的 TrizecHahn，在 Peter Munk 的指导下工作，后者的建议深刻影响了他的生活和职业生涯。在 Munk 的支持下， 移居布达佩斯，成为 TriGranit Development Corporation 的创始高管之一。作为首席执行官， 与他深为敬重的同事们共同将公司打造成为中东欧领先的房地产开发商之一，在 12 个国家拥有地标性项目。
2007年， 与家人回到加拿大，并与好友兼 TriGranit 同事 Jordan Dermer 共同创立了 Capital Developments。Capital Developments 迅速成为加拿大领先的开发商之一，拥有备受推崇的团队和众多项目。
JACKIE CORBETT（原名 Whittaker，婚前姓 Davies），1937年8月18日出生，2026年7月24日在家中安详离世。她先于丈夫 George “Bud” Whittaker (2020) 和第二任丈夫 Bill Corbett (2013) 去世；她的后代包括儿子 Dan (Brenda)、Doug 和 Gord (Laura)；以及孙子女 Claire、Maddy、Owen 和 Sara。她还留下了 Bill 的三个孩子 Dory 等以及她的六个。
家人感谢所有在最后几年照顾 Stewart 的优秀人士。在他们的支持下，他直到最后时刻都能留在家中。特别感谢 Campbell House 的工作人员和志愿者，他们的工作至关重要且令人惊叹。

SCOTT HYLANDS February 27, 1943 亲爱的家人和朋友们，Scott 在 July 29, 2026，于不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市勇敢且平静地去世。他出生于 February 27, 1943，在莱斯布里奇（Lethbridge）。
DOUGLAS STANLEY GALEZOWSKI July 29, 2026 On August 3, 2026，在他 100 岁这一年，且恰逢他与挚爱 Gwen 结婚 69 周年纪念日，Stan 在睡眠中平静地去世，身边围绕着他深爱的家人。Stan 出身于一个勤劳的农民家庭，他……
HERBERT EBEN JAMES II December 2, 1933 我们怀着极大的悲痛分享我们挚爱的离世。
AUSTIN JONES December 27, 1926 – August 3, 2026 我们怀着深切的悲痛和巨大的爱宣布离世。出生于一个勤劳的家庭。
CELA PATRICIA July 27, 2026 Eben James II 去世，留下他的儿子 Eben III；儿媳 Katherine “Kitty”；以及他珍爱的曾祖母 Cela Patricia。
孙女 Abigail “Abbey” 和 Alyson “Ally”。Austin Jones，于 2026 年 7 月 28 日星期二在马卡姆的家中安详去世，享年 105 岁。他是已故的 Louis 和 Helen 之子。其父亲 Flight Lieutenant Galezowski（皇家加拿大空军 RCAF 416 飞行中队）早于他去世。
近一个世纪以来，Eben 的生活并非由他的成就定义，而是由他所爱的人、他为他人创造的机会，以及他每天树立的卓越而安静的榜样所定义。
Walter Norman Douglas (1921-1945)；他的母亲 Ruth (White) Douglas (1913-2005)；以及在卑诗省和安大略省的许多其他亲属。
Cela 出生于 1920 年 11 月 11 日。她出生在安大略省特伦顿的家中，周围环绕着家人，于 1926 年 12 月 27 日去世。Eben 是 Eben James 和 Jeanie Fraser “Babe” 的长子，也是 Joan、Margot 和 Mawnan Fraser 的哥哥。在安大略省德里度过了快乐的童年之后，她在第二次世界大战期间搬到了多伦多，并在那里遇到了她一生的挚爱，她的已故丈夫 Jones，他早于她去世，但始终留在她的心中。
Scott 留下了一个深爱她的家庭：他的忠实妻子 Veronica；他的女儿 Rebecca (Keith) Halper；以及儿子 Luke；和孙辈 Griffiths Max 和 Lucy。此外，在安大略省和卑诗省还有其他亲属幸存。
Scott 是一位充满激情的专业演员，在戏剧和电影领域活跃了 60 多年。他是旧金山 ACT 的创始成员之一。他深爱的妻子 Stephanie Emily Zank (Jones) 以及她的女婿 Reinhard Zank。她是 Carl Zank (Erin)、Georgina Hardy (Paul) 和 Victoria Morton (Mike) 挚爱的祖母，也是 Scarlett、Patrick、Charlotte 的骄傲的曾祖母。
对于 Eben 来说，家庭就是一切。他与 Gwen 的爱情始于 1951 年，当时他正驾驶着他的帆船 Cassawappy I 号在 Presqu’ile Point，两人在吃冰淇淋时相识。那次相遇变成了一段终生的爱情故事。他们于 1957 年 8 月 3 日结婚，共同度过了 63 年美好的岁月，建立了一个充满爱、欢笑、慷慨和延续至今的传统的家。没有什么比全家人围在餐桌旁，切开烤肉，让房间充满欢笑更能给他带来快乐了。
对飞机和飞行的痴迷激励他在多伦多大学获得了 1956 1945 年的工程学学士 (BASc) 和 1957 年的工程学硕士 (MASc)，专业均为航空工程。在 Avro Canada 工作期间，他与全体员工一起通过公共广播系统得知其雇佣关系已终止。在短短几天内，他便被要求协助 NASA 执行环绕月球的历史性任务。
在多伦多拍摄《Night Heat》期间，他遇到了他的妻子 Galezowski (原姓 Slama)，两人于 1959 年 8 月 26 日结婚，并育有两个年幼的孩子。
就在 22 岁时，在父亲去世后，Eben 承担起了家庭的责任。他成为了家中的顶梁柱，在照顾母亲和兄弟姐妹的同时，接替父亲在家族小企业中的位置。他从未将其视为一种牺牲。他只是以安静的力量、坚定的责任感以及对家庭深沉的爱和承诺，完成了必须要做的事情。
1962 年，Stan 离开弗吉尼亚州回到加拿大。他的广泛职业生涯使他走遍了北美许多城市及海外。
分享关于生活的故事。他的故事不仅仅是珍贵的记忆，更是人生教训。通过每一个故事，埃本（Eben）给他的家人留下了一份持久的礼物，即塑造他生活的价值观、原则和智慧，这些将继续引导后代。
从未退缩于新挑战的斯坦（Stan），积极参与社区活动，并发现了自己作为 Canadian Tire 经销商的真正天职。他们的零售事业先将他们带到了阿恩普里尔（Arnprior），后来又到了温莎（Windsor）。斯坦还积极参与斯卡伯勒高尔夫俱乐部（Scarborough Golf Club）。
在他的人生中，除了格温（Gwen），埃本还有另一个热爱，那就是沿着安大略湖和千岛群岛的海岸线航行。他在20世纪50年代初建造了他的第一艘帆船，并充满激情地航行直到98岁。这是对他一生中所具备的决心、激情、自信和坚韧的真实证明。
加入特伦顿冷藏公司（Trenton Cold Storage）时年仅20岁，埃本将近八十年时间奉献给了家族企业。在他的领导下，该公司从一个小型区域冷藏运营机构成长为加拿大顶级的冷链物流公司之一。埃本的领导力并非由头衔或认可定义，而是由谦逊定义。埃本知道特伦顿冷藏公司家族中每个人的名字。他庆祝他们的里程碑，鼓励他们成长，并相信每个人都应该拥有成功的机会。
埃本还深信社区的力量。在他的领导下，特伦顿冷藏公司吸引了主要的国家和国际食品公司来到昆特（Quinte）地区，创造了加强当地经济数代人的机会。他对社区的承诺远超商业领域。他曾任特伦顿市议员，担任商会主席，担任《特伦顿人报》（The Trentonian）的出版人，并以……为荣。
斯坦最大的骄傲是他的家人。他留下了陪伴他六十多年的挚爱妻子艾米莉（Emily）；儿子史蒂文·加莱佐夫斯基（Steven Galezowski）；以及他的女儿……
塞拉（Cela）一生中与艾米莉一起，在她的邻里、家庭学校协会以及她的教会社区中建立了持久的友谊，并非常享受参与和导演众多戏剧。她对莎士比亚、塞缪尔（Samuel）和狄兰·托马斯（Dylan Thomas）有着极大的热情。
她坚定的信仰是她生活的基石，并以优雅、善良和同情心引导着她。她和格里夫（Griff）在爱尔兰、巴哈马以及卡瓦萨（Kawarthas）的小屋度过了珍贵的夏天，并在佛罗里达州的龙舟钥匙岛（Longboat Key）度过冬天，创造了珍贵的回忆。
作为一名热衷于高尔夫且精通桥牌的人，她后来成为了多伦多狩猎俱乐部（Toronto Hunt Club）的成员，在那里她继续在离家更近的地方享受这两项爱好。2015年，斯科特（Scott）和维罗妮卡（Veronica）搬到了维多利亚，他们让自己沉浸在这座城市和维克西（Vic West）社区中。
没有什么比剧院更能让斯科特感到快乐。他让自己沉浸在角色扮演中，他是真正意义上的演员。他在不列颠哥伦比亚省的ArtSpring、The Belfry、The MacPherson和Blue Bridge剧院表演了许多次。他还在斯特拉特福（Stratford）以及加拿大其他许多剧院演出。
艾米莉同样热爱航行、卷曲球以及环游世界，她拥有一个广泛且珍视的朋友圈。退休后，他们喜欢在切蒙湖（Chemong Lake）心爱的度假小屋度过时光。
德克斯特（Dexter）、罗里（Rory）、薇奥莱特（Violett）、克里姆森（Crimson）、维罗妮卡（Veronica）。他们于1990年结婚，在IBM从事计算机行业。
加布里埃尔（Gabriel）、卡罗琳-佩珀（Caroline-Pepper）、达西（D’Arcy）搬到了不列颠哥伦比亚省的索尔特斯普林岛（Salt Spring Island），在那里他们建造了梦想的家并抚养孩子。
认识塞拉的人会记得她的温暖和……
Scott Louise Kolanko 和她的丈夫，智慧、慷慨以及在 CFB Trenton 担任名誉上校的低调角色。他帮助保护了当地历史，重新发现了他对 Robert 的热情。他是一位自豪且充满力量的人。她拥有非凡的支持 St. George’s 教堂，振兴了 Fraser Park，捐赠了用于写作的土地，并写了一本回忆录《风中的叶》(Leaf in the Wind)，作为给他的遗产。他是一位深爱孙辈 Stan 以及能够让每个人都感到被爱和被接纳的祖父，始终如此。Marina，以及设计并资助了英联邦航空训练计划纪念馆 (British Commonwealth Air Training Plan Memorial)。Scott Kolanko 和他的伴侣，将他人置于自己之前——Farmer，Daniel Kolanko 和尤其是她的家人。他是一个脚踏实地且谦逊的人，拥有一颗巨大的心。他遵循黄金法则生活，并以微笑和笑声迎接每一个人。他由他的妻子 Andrea Bevan 以及 Nathan Kolanko 遗留。Stan 同样由他的兄弟 Edward Galezowski 及其妻子 Judy，以及他的姐夫 Frank Slama 及其妻子 Cathy，以及许多侄子、侄女、朋友、前同事，以及所有那些有幸认识她的人遗留。她将被深深怀念并永远被铭记。他将每一天都过得充实，没有任何遗憾。他热爱倾听人们的故事。他将他人置于自己之前。
他一生的服务赢得了众多荣誉，包括在安大略省和加拿大食品加工协会担任领导职务，超过 75 年的奉献轮值服务，多次保罗·哈里斯奖学金 (Paul Harris Fellowships)，以及因对社区的重大贡献而获得的女王金禧和钻禧奖章，以及因对食品工业的贡献而获得的安大略百年奖，年度志愿者奖，Quinte 商业成就奖，以及因社区服务而获得的 Walter Zeller 奖学金奖。我们的家庭想向那些因他的善良、聪明、慷慨和幽默感而使生活变得丰富的人们表达我们衷心的感谢。他的指导哲学很简单：“我出生在这里，我一直生活在这里，我想让这里变得更好。”
该家庭感谢 BC Cancer，特别是 Amica Swan Lake 的护士、护理人员和 Dr. Blachet-St. Pierre，以及 Markham 的 RJH 姑息治疗团队，Dr. Levendall，以及优秀的 Dr. David Woodley，因为他们在过去六年里为 Cela 提供了卓越的护理、同情心和尊严。感谢 Eglinton West 的 Parkland 团队工作人员，因为他们提供了善良和照顾。如果您希望纪念 Scott，他请求您请向加拿大红十字会 (The Canadian Red Cross) 以及当地剧院 (local theatre) 捐款，或向 Stanandemily@gmail.com 发送吊唁信。Cela 的生命庆祝仪式将于 2026 年 8 月 17, 2026, 下午 2:00 p.m. 在 Christ Cross 教堂（Scarborough Village, 155 Markham Road (northeast Islington Golf Club, 45）举行。
Stan 的生命庆祝仪式将于 2026 年 8 月 16, 2026, 下午 2 to 4 p.m. 举行。
Eben 留下了他深爱的儿子 Eben Jr.；儿媳 Kitty；孙女 Abbey 和 Ally；许多侄子和侄女，大家庭，以及无数的朋友。虽然 Eben 的离世留下了无法弥补的空白，但他的遗产通过他珍视的家人、他帮助建立的公司、他奉献一生的社区，以及他每天默默践行的价值观而延续。Victor Galezowski 和 Alex 同样被铭记。
Riverbank Eben的一生提醒我们，真正的成功不在于我们取得了什么，而在于我们分享的爱、我们扶持的人，以及我们让其变得更好的生活。这正是Eben James Sr.最大的成就。
吊唁可前往 www.mccallgardens.com 向位于Etobicoke，Markham Road与Kingston Road交汇处的Dr.及其家人表达。
永远被爱，深深被怀念，且永远被铭记。
私人家庭仪式将在近期举行，生命庆典的详情随后公布。
对于希望以Eben的名义做出贡献的人，请不要赠送鲜花，欢迎向安大略省特伦顿的圣乔治圣公会教堂（St. George’s Anglican Church in Trenton, Ontario）捐款。
心怀感激， Jones与Zank家族

大学。从1975年到2022年，他在渥太华的卡尔顿大学斯普罗特商学院教授金融学，在那里他激励了一代又一代的学生。在卡尔顿大学任职期间，比尔以卓越的成就服务于大学社区。他是众多学术和行政委员会的成员，包括在大学养老金委员会任职25年，并担任教职员俱乐部财务主管多年。
教学是比尔最大的热情所在。他以要求严格但公正著称，在挑战学生追求卓越的同时，始终竭力帮助他们取得成功。即使在退休后，比尔仍继续在卡尔顿大学担任兼职教授。他认为自己仍有许多东西可以分享，而且正如他喜欢开的玩笑，这让他的家人和朋友们免于忍受长达三小时的讲座。
在课堂之外，比尔终身热爱体育。年轻时，他喜欢尝试多种不同的运动，但后来他最大的热情是网球。在不教学的时候，人们经常能看到他骑着心爱的二战时期自行车在社区里穿行，或者身穿标志性的白色网球服，头戴帽子，在网球场上享受比赛。无论是在课堂上、骑车时还是在球场上，比尔都以活力、纪律和沉稳的决心面对生活。
在2006, 比尔与朋友和同事共同设立了威廉·M·劳森金融奖学金捐赠基金，以表彰他对教育的终身承诺及其对一代代学生的深远影响。希望纪念比尔的人可以……
尼尔在渥太华的卡尔顿大学获得了土木工程学位（1963年）和斯坦福大学的MBA学位（1967年），他为此感到自豪。
尼尔对组织运作方式以及高级人员对结果和组织效率的影响（无论好坏）有着惊人的洞察力。在咨询生涯中，尼尔创立了加拿大咨询集团（The Canada Consulting Group），这是一家管理咨询公司，该公司成长为私营和公共部门领导者的重要顾问。他对加拿大充满热爱，并为我们的公共政策做出了重大贡献。
他非常看重正直，在鼓励和培养CCG团队方面发挥了关键作用。
约翰热爱参与哲学讨论，这些讨论通常由优质的苏格兰威士忌和好友的陪伴所激发。他是一位虔诚的天主教徒，遵循耶稣会传统，很少进行闲聊，而更倾向于倾听他人如何生活以及他们的信仰，即使对方的信仰是世俗的而非宗教的。他是一位才华横溢的讲述者，也是世界上最幽默的人之一。尽管过去几年面临许多健康挑战，他的幽默感从未减弱，直到最后时刻，他依然让床边的每个人开心地笑。
特别感谢珀尔医生（Dr. Perl）和圣迈克尔医院（St. Mike’s）的居家透析团队，特别是朗·默科（Ron Merko），他在过去三年中担任约翰的护士，为约翰和朱莉娅提供了坚定不移的支持。
遗体瞻仰将于8月21日星期五下午5 - 7点在多伦多的Morley Bedford, 159 Eglinton Avenue举行。约翰的葬礼将于8月22日星期六下午2点在Our Lady of Lourdes Church, 520 Sherbourne St.举行，随后在约克俱乐部（The York Club）举行招待会。安葬仪式将于次日，即8月23日中午，在圭尔夫的伍德劳恩纪念公墓（Woodlawn Memorial Cemetery）举行。

家庭在尼尔的生活中始终处于核心地位。他深爱着妻子兼伴侣朱迪；他的孩子们，凯利·克卢茨科夫斯基（史蒂夫）、凯文（乔迪）和马修（凯伦）；以及他的孙辈，查理、艾莉森、罗温、杰西和塞斯。他为他们每一个人感到无比自豪，无论是在体育还是学术方面，他都为他们加油鼓劲。他喜欢迎接我们的到来，并在他的椅子上聊天。尼尔还留下了他亲爱的哥哥诺埃尔以及他在卑诗省的大家庭。
尼尔和朱迪将他们的爱犬克拉伦斯、戴夫和哈里视为家庭的重要组成部分，并创造了在布鲁斯步道（Bruce Trail）散步的习惯，沿途会在“站点”停下来买零食。
尼尔重视通过电话、电子邮件、共进晚餐或打一场高尔夫球与人们建立联系。他与朱迪热爱将人们聚集在一起，无论是举办盛大的家庭社区圣诞派对（在密西沙加，安大略省）、在雪松泉（伯灵顿，安大略省）举行烧烤活动，还是与同事聚会，亦或是偶尔举办“讨糖”主题的马提尼酒会。朋友们一直知道可以期待他那活泼的交谈、凯撒沙拉、大蒜面包、牛排、红酒以及大量的欢笑。尼尔曾是一位活跃的社区成员，也是其中一位创始推动者。
家庭是杰克生活的中心。他对他深爱的妻子（结婚 63 年）

逝世 逝世
AIJA ZOMMERS Aija (Vilums) Zommers 于 July 28, 2026. 在士嘉堡总医院（Scarborough General Hospital）平静离世。作为一名终身辩论者，她在面对癌症诊断时采取了坚决的交叉质询，以其特有的精准度质问医生，并揭露了安大略省医疗体系的缺陷。Aija 于 April 29, 1942, 出生于拉脱维亚里加，两岁时被迫与母亲、两个姐姐和姨祖母一起逃离家乡。她最早的记忆包括士兵们冲进一个她家人在波兰躲藏的避难所，而她的母亲
EDISON JUNIOR QUICK 1924 – 2026 Dr. Edison J. Quick 于 August 2, 2026. 在北约克总医院（North York General Hospital）平静离世。直到最后时刻他依然追求卓越，距离 102 岁生日仅差一步。
JÜRI WALLNER Born in Tartu, Estonia, on March 24, 1939 逝世于安大略省肯普维尔（Kemptville, Ontario），July 30, 2 026。几年前，Jüri 写下了以下内容： “时机已到
来说再见。对我而言，生活是一场伟大的冒险，在田野中拾穗，与挚爱的妻子共同度过了一段激动人心且丰富多彩的时光。我很有幸成为了她的孩子。一个儿子、一个兄弟、丈夫、父亲、祖父和教父，在所有这些关怀的角色中，Aija 与她的父亲团聚了。他出生于1924年8月14日，是 William Edison Quick 和 Lottie Leona Hickson 的长子，拥有美满的家庭。他出生在 Hickson 家的农场，他的母亲讲述道，他出生时体重 12 磅。尽管在二战期间作为家乡的难民在德国的流离失所者营地经历了恐惧和艰辛，但总而言之，这是一段美丽的人生。在 Ohmstede 营地，Aija 阅读关于英国王室的书籍，这激发了她对王室终身的热爱，尽管她持有深厚的平等主义信念。她还记得使用口香糖来密封她营房内木板之间的缝隙。谢谢你，Tiiu，一直是我体贴的舞伴，直到最后一支华尔兹。谢谢大家！我的篇章已经结束。故事仍在继续……” 在短暂的病痛之后，Jüri 去世了。在他之前去世的有他的父母 Leida 和 Johannes；姐姐 Tiiu；兄弟 Ilmar；以及侄子 Aleksander。Jüri 被他的妻子 Tiiu；儿子 Kalev (Victoria) 和 Kristjan (Anne)；以及女儿 Monika (Hal) 深切怀念。他是 Leo, Ruby, Miina, Veronika, Lillian, Martin, Mattias 等孩子心中挚爱的 Papi。
他在安大略省惠特利（Wheatley, Ontario）的家庭农场长大，是 William Clarence Quick 骄傲的哥哥。孩提时代，在父母 Leida 和 Johannes 的机智与勤劳保护下，我得以平安成长；成年后，在家庭的怀抱中，在各地好友的支持下，我生活幸福。总有希望可以寄托，总有工作可以投入，总有爱人可以眷恋。他比家族中其他成员长寿许多年。
虽然农场生活的背景意味着他一直拥有“园艺天赋”，但他的好奇心促使他在学术上取得成就，使他在安大略省的教育领域脱颖而出。他在 18 岁时开始在一所乡村单间学校任教。在搬到温莎（Windsor）任教期间，他遇到了 Donna Tansley (1927-1971)，一位出色的钢琴家和管风琴师，两人于 1945 年结婚。随后他们有了三个儿子：David, Douglas 和 Robert。1950 年，全家定居在密歇根州的欧索索（Owosso, Michigan）。他的大学学位——学士（西安大略大学）、硕士（密歇根大学）和博士（多伦多大学）——全部是在夏季以及全职工作期间取得的。在搬到多伦多后，他在多伦多教师学院任教，随后进入教育部工作。之后，他被派往“安大略省学校教育目标与宗旨省级委员会”担任秘书兼研究主任，主导编写了名为《生活与学习》（Living and Learning）的报告。随后，他担任加拿大教育部长会议的第一任秘书，该机构旨在协调省级
即便在孩提时代，Aija 就热衷于激烈的辩论，与邻居争论上帝是住在路德教会还是天主教会中。在与家人逃离爱沙尼亚并在流离失所者营地度过多年后，Jüri 的家人很高兴能将苏圣玛丽（Sault Ste. Marie）作为他们的家。正是在苏必利尔湖畔，他培养了对自然的热爱并结下了终身友谊。在职业生涯中，作为一名医院管理人员，Jüri 热爱他在省级
全加拿大的教育政策和课程。他在温尼伯儿童医院、萨德伯里总医院以及最近的渥太华儿童治疗中心担任过职务。在从马萨诸塞州惠顿学院获得历史学学士学位后，他开始在密尔沃基从事教师职业。Aija在1972年与她的灵魂伴侣Uldis Zommers结婚并移居加拿大。她在布兰克斯姆学院（Branksome Hall）从事教学工作，成为了该校以及多伦多大学学校（University of Toronto Schools）的演讲与辩论主教练。她激励学生进行批判性思考，并清晰地进行沟通。她的团队在加拿大及全球范围内名列前茅，她本人也获得了诸多荣誉，例如2017年UTS Heartwood志愿者服务奖。
在家里，Aija展现了她的艺术天赋：绘画、编织、绘制精美的复活节彩蛋，以及熬夜为女儿和孙女缝制万圣节服装。为了帮助女儿Zinta，她愿意做任何事情，包括照顾Zinta养了两年的大丹犬。那只狗会跳到她的床上，由于无法挪动那么庞大的动物，Aija不得不学会与一只打呼噜的狗共用枕头。在丈夫去世后，
[...OMITTED...]
退休后，他曾在皇家安大略博物馆董事会任职多年，之后担任名誉受托人。退休生活让他带着世界银行健康项目回到了重新独立的爱沙尼亚。然而，尽管取得了所有这些成就，他依然坚定地致力于服务他的国家，以及他从未厌倦于支持、建议和陪伴的家人。他很高兴能在自己的100岁生日派对上看到他们所有人。
他还在里多河畔建造了自己的家，由他的兄弟Ilmar设计，那里终于有足够的空间种植树木——这是他极大的热情所在，并与一群志同道合的朋友共同生活。那是他的快乐之地。作为一名扶轮社成员，几十年来，他始终践行其格言：“服务至上”，在当地和国际上开展志愿者活动。
1971年Donna去世后，他娶了Constance Fuller（1922-2015），她同样热爱安大略省的教育事业，并致力于家庭。对于后辈来说，她成为了深受喜爱的“奶奶”。她还向他介绍了RCYC，那里后来成为了家庭活动的理想场所。
应Jüri的要求，将不举行吊唁或葬礼仪式。火化已经完成。日后将举行一次聚会，共同举杯缅怀美好的时光。希望纪念Jüri的人可以考虑种一棵（或两棵及更多）树，或向肯普维尔区医院基金会（www.kdhfoundation.ca）或加拿大爱沙尼亚基金会（www.estonianfoundation.ca）捐款。

Shelton 轻松应对 Bergs JORDAN STOOPLER 蒙特利尔
本·谢尔顿（Ben Shelton）周五在国家银行公开赛（National Bank Open）的卫冕之路依然顺利。这位种子排名第五的美国选手在IGA体育场中心球场仅用一小时出头，就以 3, 6-2 的比分轻松击败比利时的齐祖·贝尔格斯（Zizou Bergs），晋级这项大师赛 1000 网球赛的 4 轮。谢尔顿去年在多伦多赢得了他的首个大师赛 1000 冠军，此次比赛他发出了 eight aces，且在前两场比赛中尚未失掉一盘。这位世界排名第 10. 的选手是目前签表中排名最高的球员。该赛事 32 名种子选手中仅剩 12 人，其中前 10 名球员仅剩 3 人。谢尔顿在 2026 年首次进入大师赛 1000 赛事的第四轮，此前他在任何一项ATP标志性赛事中都未能取得连续胜利。
在前五局比赛中，两名球员均成功保发。加拿大选手莱拉·费尔南德斯（Leylah Fernandez）周五在多伦多举行的国家银行公开赛 Day 6 比赛中，庆祝对阵米拉·安德烈耶娃（Mirra Andreeva）的赛点。费尔南德斯将在 round of 16. 中对阵大坂直美（Naomi Osaka）。MATTHEW STOCKMAN / GETTY IMAGES
直到第 6 局，谢尔顿才实现破发并取得 4-2 的领先。随后他一直保发直到结束 [...OMITTED...]
费尔南德斯在首盘以 6-3 击败安德烈耶娃。这位美国选手在第二盘第五局再次破发，得益于贝格斯在国家银行公开赛（NB Open）这场重大冷门中一次不合时宜的双误，这也是本场比赛的第三次双误。随后，谢尔顿在该盘第二次破发贝格斯，距离胜利仅差一局。
2021 年美网决赛选手在发球局结束比赛。由于俄罗斯选手随后还需参加双打比赛，在充分休息后进行。
23 岁的谢尔顿将在周日的第四轮对阵近期在多伦多以 6-1, 6-4 获胜的法网冠军，即 9 号种子挪威选手卡斯帕·鲁德，或是 19 岁的巴西选手若昂·丰塞卡。鲁德和丰塞卡原定于周五晚上在中心球场交手。
“我有点不开心，因为多伦多的 WTA 赛事和蒙特利尔的 ATP 赛事，当然我热爱在加拿大比赛，”费尔南德斯说。“我实际上很高兴他们在事前告诉我。他们给了我充足的时间，所以我能够在心理上做好准备，并摆脱那种小小的失望感。”
另外五名同胞已经从单打正赛中出局：凯瑟琳·塞博夫、凯登斯·布雷斯、阿里亚娜·阿尔塞诺、凯拉·克罗斯以及 2019 年赛事冠军比安卡·安德烈斯库。双打专家加布里埃拉·达布罗夫斯基在比赛后表现得较为低调，她与不同的搭档配合，而她通常的队友、来自巴西的路易莎·斯特法尼因肘部受伤在休息。
这位魁北克人的父亲来自厄瓜多尔，母亲是菲律宾裔，本周她在看台上得到了多伦多菲律宾社区的大力支持，他们也来到该国顶级网球赛事为 WTA 选手亚历克斯·埃阿拉加油。作为来自菲律宾的先锋之星，埃阿拉在巡回赛的各项赛事中吸引了大量菲律宾观众。
周五早些时候，性格开朗的荷兰选手塔隆·格里克斯普尔以 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 获胜。格里克斯普尔在第二轮爆冷击败顶尖种子选手、世界排名第 4 的亚历山大·兹维列夫，在 Masters 1000 赛事中第三轮晋级 16 强，这是他职业生涯第五次，也是本赛季第一次。
加拿大关键的 ATP 单打选手在蒙特利尔全部出局。加布里埃尔·迪亚洛、丹尼斯·沙波瓦洛夫和家乡选手费利克斯-奥热-阿里亚西姆均因伤止步。
周五晚上的满场观众见证了最后一名留在该国顶级网球赛事中的加拿大选手——莱拉·费尔南德斯。费尔南德斯记录了一场巨大的第三轮胜利，爆冷击败世界排名第 5 的大满贯冠军米拉·安德烈耶娃。
费尔南德斯在周五打出了高效的网球，
而俄罗斯选手则在非强制性失误中陷入混乱。她的下一个对手是21岁的西班牙选手丹尼尔·梅里达（Daniel Merida），他目前世界排名第34位，最近在对阵美国选手凯蒂·麦克纳利（Caty McNally）时取得了胜利。梅里达在温布尔登赛后最近10场比赛中赢了9场，并首次进入ATP前50名。
在多伦多的索比斯体育场（Sobeys Stadium），最近的法国公开赛冠军安德烈娃（Andreeva）连续第三晚占据主导地位，以6-1, 6-4击败美国选手亚历克斯·米歇尔森（Alex Michelsen）。在第二盘5-2落后时，安德烈娃在罗杰斯球场以6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-1击败19岁的俄罗斯球星，这是她很久以来取得的最大胜利。这场周五的爆冷胜利将费尔南德斯推入了多伦多站的16强，她将在那里面对大坂直美。
这是费尔南德斯首次进入大师赛1000赛的第四轮。这次胜利还让她在加拿大站首次进入ATP前50名。
费尔南德斯本周在多伦多表现自信。在直接晋级第二轮后，她周三以6-2, 6-2击败墨西哥选手雷娜塔·扎拉祖亚（Renata Zarazua）。
虽然费尔南德斯在周三被安排在埃拉（Eala）之前的晚上7点时段比赛，但组织者将科科·高夫（Coco Gauff）和玛丽亚·萨卡里（Maria Sakkari）安排在周五该时段的较晚时间。
周五晚上的赛程安排还包括捷克13号种子雅库布·门西克（Jakub Mensik）对阵法国选手特伦斯·阿特曼（Terence Atmane），以及一场由勒纳·蒂恩（Learner Tien）对阵汤米·保罗（Tommy Paul）的全美对决。
费尔南德斯承认，她对周五没能获得夜场比赛，无法像周三那样在座无虚席的电光火石般的氛围中比赛感到失望。
“我和我的团队当时就说，‘必须赢球才能拿到夜场比赛’，”费尔南德斯说。“这周确实有很大的动力，不仅是因为我在加拿大比赛，还因为观众太棒了。”
“而且，我在朋友和家人面前比赛，在2023.年之后能见到他们真的太开心了。”
“所以希望下一轮我们能拿到夜场。”费尔南德斯最近增加了埃里克·赫希特曼（Eric Hechtman）作为第二教练，以协助她的长期教练兼父亲豪尔赫·费尔南德斯（Jorge Fernandez）。
当被问及赫希特曼的影响是否已经显现时，她表示：“我觉得现在说还太早。但我喜欢他的执教方式，就是他与我父亲的合作非常愉快。”
“他没有试图改变我的比赛风格，只是尝试对其进行补充，并让我对自己更有信心，尤其是在紧张时刻。”
这是费尔南德斯自2025,年7月击败当时的4号种子杰西卡·佩古拉（Jessica Pegula）赢得DC公开赛以来，首次击败前10选手的胜利。
费尔南德斯上周在华盛顿未能重复此成绩。她在第二轮比赛中输给了最终的DC冠军埃拉（Eala），那场比赛她以80分钟的时间结束。
她和安德烈娃必须在周五面对澳大利亚选手亚历西·波普林（Alexei Popyrin），他是2024年NBO公开赛冠军，同时也计划在周五面对阿根廷选手蒂亚戈·奥古斯汀·蒂兰特（Thiago Agustin Tirante）。

航海：肖耶将参加五场比赛，目标是获得参加 Vendée Globe 的资格
接 B13 页
从法国圣马洛（Saint-Malo）到瓜德罗普（Guadeloupe）有3,500海里（6,500公里）。
“进展顺利。现在不能生病（需要很多努力才能避免），”他说。“所以目前没出问题，我知道这一点。但这是一个持续进行的过程。”
这艘船是肖耶在今年夏天带回来的，因此他可以在休伦湖的乔治亚湾（Georgian Bay）进行训练。该船计划于周六开始返回欧洲的行程，途经圣劳伦斯航道（St. Lawrence Seaway）和韦兰运河（Welland Canal）。
由于最近出售了公司，他现在有条件尝试这次挑战。
肖耶8,岁时开始在休伦湖航海，在疫情期间观看比赛后决定以 Vendée Globe 为目标。
此外，还有在漫长的海洋旅程后回到家时的感觉。
他喜欢挑战自己。
“我一直认为，如果别人能做到，为什么我不能？”他说。
虽然 Shawyer 此后参加了单人跨大西洋赛和其他长距离赛事，但他仍在学习远洋赛事的方方面面。在最近一次与船员共同航行期间，他的待办事项清单长达 51 项。
如今他专注于比赛。Shawyer 采取了合作方式，与魁北克省的赞助商 H2O Innovation 开展了一场名为“Be Water Positive”（水资源正向）的活动——旨在保护流域和珍贵资源，管理水域，以及重复利用和回收水资源。
“尤其是在加拿大，我们拥有五大湖，非常幸运，”他说。“而且我们对此习以为常。我仍然看到我们对待[水]的方式相当糟糕。这是一种如此珍贵的资源。……我认为许多加拿大人没有意识到水在地球上是多么稀缺。但当你身处大海，你很快就会意识到，除非我采取行动，否则这些水对我来说毫无用处。”
除了危险之外，Vendée Globe 还是个烧钱坑。 估计他的 Canada Ocean Racing 团队每年的预算约为 €2.5-million，主要用于维护。
船长可以停下来进行维修，只要他们自己动手即可。
“你不能去官方港口，系好缆绳，然后去五金店买东西，” 惆怅地说道。
在陆地上， 曾担任 JMP Solutions 的首席执行官，该公司帮助企业实现生产流程自动化，随后他出售了股份并创办了 Collingwood Capital Partners，一家私募股权公司。他的船是一艘 2020 年款的赛船，在由法国 Sébastien Simon 担任船长的 Groupe Dubreuil 队名下获得了 Vendée Globe 赛事的第三名，船名是以 的女儿 Emma 和 Keira 命名的。船上印有 80, 代表 Scott 妻子的出生年份。
加拿大水手 Scott 希望参加 2028 年的 Vendée Globe，这是一场单人环球航赛，被誉为“航海界的珠穆朗玛峰”。
Vendée Globe 赛事的参赛者将离开法国，向南进入大西洋，绕过南极洲，经过好望角、李温角（Cape Leeuwin）和霍恩角，然后从大西洋向北返回法国。他将携带关键的备用零件，重量允许范围内。
首先是单人 Route de Rhum 赛，将于 11 月 1. 开始。根据 的说法，这是根据风向和洋流环球航行最快的方式。在 2028 年 11 月的正式启动日期之前，他已确认将参加 five transatlantic races，其中四场是单人赛，随后是 Vendée Globe。目标是在累计排名中进入前 40 名并获得大赛资格。
“当你从那艘船上回来，其他一切都显得如此神奇。”
“家人、像样的床铺、装满新鲜食物的冰箱和一瓶冰矿泉水，这些东西在平时被我们视为理所当然。”
部分原因是为了向那些不相信加拿大人能做到的人证明自己。而且，对于一个从小航海、同时拥有工程学和心理学学位且资金雄厚的人来说，必须尝试一下。

亚当·多德克（ADAM DODEK）
对司法独立和法治的信心。如此循环往复。美国建国之父采用了18世纪法国思想家孟德斯鸠的观点，即在政府的不同部门之间分离权力，是防止暴政（如乔治三世国王）在总统任上崛起的最佳方式。这与当时盛行的政府形式截然不同，当时的权力集中在国王、皇帝或沙皇手中。
因此，美国宪法将权力分为三个政府分支：立法机构（国会）、行政机构（总统）和司法机构（法院）。
相比之下，加拿大并没有严格的权力分立。我们的立法分支和行政分支相互交织。可以说，加拿大政府的首要原则就是总理必须始终获得下议院的支持。总理及其内阁理应在下议院中拥有多数席位。
在这种背景下，加拿大人应该问自己：这种情况会在这里发生吗？简短的回答是：会。甚至可以说，对于一个强势的人（无论男女）来说，在加拿大获得巨大的权力会比特朗普先生在加拿大更容易。
这就是如何实现这一点，以及为了防止这种情况发生应该怎么做。
加拿大人已经近距离目睹了唐纳德·特朗普对法治的每日攻击。我们看到特朗普先生将美国移民海关执法局（ICE）和边境巡逻队特工当作自己的私人准军事力量，在城市街道上强行带走有色人种，非法拘留公民，并导致多人死亡，包括明尼阿波利斯的勒内·古德（Renée Good）和亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti）。

在通往暴政的100米跨栏赛中，如果美国在起跑线上，那么加拿大则处于30或40米线，需要跨越的障碍要少得多。加拿大在走向独裁方面具有先发优势，因为与美国相比，它对政府权力的制衡明显更少。
没有哪个政府官员会太担心下议院委员会可能会做什么。这些委员会与美国国会那些可以进行调查、传唤证人、传唤内阁部长并在适当情况下建议提起刑事指控的委员会相比，简直相形见绌。相比之下，加拿大的委员会是问责制中的“太监”。
下议院确实拥有谴责、训诫和传唤个人到其面前回答问题的权力，但在过去50年里，这些权力很少被使用。
相比之下，选举提供了最终的问责机制。正如我们在最近的匈牙利选举中所看到的，它们可以对一名不再受欢迎的总统或总理起到制约作用。
加拿大的权力制衡机制是未成文的——即政治上的君子协定，这些协定并不稳固且正在被侵蚀。但正如安德鲁·科因（Andrew Coyne）在他最近的畅销书《民主危机：加拿大民主》（The Crisis of Canadian Democracy）中如此精辟地解释的那样，在加拿大，情况通常恰恰相反。加拿大的政府体制构建方式与美国截然不同。美国宪法规定，中期选举通常是对总统政策的一次全民公投，如果选举结果导致众议院或参议院的控制权发生转移，可能会显著限制总统的权力。
在拥有多数政府（或贾斯汀·特鲁多曾拥有的有效多数席位）的情况下，必须对下议院负责。此外，在美国，他的朋友和支持者。
当他利用自己的地位来让自己、他的家人和朋友获利时，我们已不再感到震惊。当我们看到他和他的谄媚之徒贬低、嘲讽并威胁法官，从而侵蚀公众

减肥药并非灵丹妙药 廉价的 GLP-1 类药物正引发对肥胖恐惧症的复燃，而现在我的“肥胖积极”社区正处于一个没有安全选项的十字路口，莱拉·卡梅伦（Layla Cameron）写道
观点 西方世界一直对肥胖者非常残酷。 莱拉·卡梅伦是一位学者、作家和纪录片导演。
我生命中最大的特权之一就是发现了肥胖解放运动，并随后与其他肥胖者建立了一个社区。我在西蒙弗雷泽大学（Simon Fraser University）攻读博士学位期间接触到了“肥胖研究”（Fat Studies），在那里我发现了一个完整的信息和行动主义世界，这改变了我个人和职业生涯的轨迹。
在此期间，我拍摄了第一部短纪录片《肥胖徒步俱乐部》（Fat Hiking Club），片中出现了“肥胖女孩徒步”（Fat Girls Hiking）的创始人萨默·米肖-斯科格（Summer Michaud-Skog），并共同创立了“重量级选手”（Heavy Hitters），这是一个仅限肥胖者参加的快投垒球队。
虽然肥胖解放运动有着数十年的根基，与许多其他基于身份的
我周围的朋友、艺术家、学者和社区组织者大多体型较大，他们为了让肥胖者的世界变得更好而极其努力地工作。
这些空间和关系对我来说至关重要。当我和其他肥胖者在一起时，我不需要证明我的道德、健康状况或其他随意的价值衡量标准。这些社区是我们所有人的生命线，因为我们必须在一个将我们的身体视为过渡空间而非值得关心的永久家园的敌对世界中生存。
虽然肥胖解放运动在某种程度上终于迎来了它的时刻，但我认为这在很大程度上是由于社交媒体的兴起，尤其是像 Instagram 这样基于图像的平台。肥胖非常适合视觉媒体，因为它具有可见的污名。你无法隐藏自己的肥胖。
虽然这一事实被一些传统媒体利用——尤其是真人秀节目延续了“怪胎秀”的传统，将肥胖者塑造为被围观的卑贱奇观——但在社交媒体上，肥胖者可以更多地控制自己被感知的方式。这些平台的参与性质也意味着内容与重要的对话交织在一起。
我不认识任何一个在生命中的某个阶段没有幻想过减轻体重的人。对于我们中的许多人来说，这些幻想涉及暴力行为，例如用一把神奇的刀将肚子上的脂肪切掉，这样肥胖者就不会伤害我们，或者我们会收到癌症诊断（我们最终会击败它！但在那之前我们会减轻很多体重）。虽然这很恐怖，但完全可以理解为什么我们这么多人

保守党需要问：我们为什么想要获胜——作为保守党人？如果没有坚定的信念核心，就没有什么能将保守党人统一起来并动员他们去奋斗。
安德鲁·科因（ANDREW COYNE）
卡尼（Carney）自担任总理以来突然向右转，已经让自由党失去了左翼的支持。
但请注意这意味着什么：这可能是唯一一种不仅能获胜，而且能改变方向的政党。当保守党人像他们必须做的那样自问时，他们真正问自己的是“我为什么想要作为一名保守党人获胜”？
如果获胜是唯一重要的事情，那么，他们可以采取自由党提供的方案，强而有力地、自信地将其夺走。
但注意到这意味着什么：这可能是唯一一种不仅能对加拿大生活做出有用贡献，而且具有可识别的保守主义色彩的政党。
然而，就目前情况而言，这是一种卡尼先生应该愿意接受的权衡。
现在是我们不快之夏。对于联邦保守党人来说，这几周十分惨淡。根据338Canada.com的预测，如果今天举行选举，自由党将赢得接近200个席位。
所有这一切让保守党人处于一种异常反思的情绪中。
但我在这里冒着重复“专家谬误”的风险——即认为一套被偏好的政策方案同样也是
不可避免地，在他们之中，最具有政治优势的并非是那些四位国会议员所做的那样，而是与自由党人抗争。他们并非如此。许多自由党人认为，这在普通大众中将很难推销，当然，在那些定位精准的压力团体中更是如此。即便唐纳德·特朗普一直在通过关税打击加拿大工业并威胁要将国家
在卡尼先生的前任领导下，自由党在过去一段时间的民调中一直领先超过20个百分点。广义上讲，该党在那些对失利感到绝望的人和那些处于否认状态的人之间分成了两派。
该党本身无法就其代表的含义达成一个统一的愿景。有些人希望继续主张降低税收、规模更小的政府和更自由的市场。另一些人则将这些基本诉求斥为过时且无关紧要，主张政府应在民众中贯彻保守的文化价值观（假设保守党人能就这些价值观达成一致）。
在这一切之中，该党在去年震惊的选举失败后产生的余波——那些可能永久改变制度的余波——仍然能被感受到。自由党的一部分自我定义，不可避免地由其与保守党人的分歧组成：为什么我是保守党人，而不是自由党人？
我会这样回答这个问题的一部分：我很久以前就决定与保守党共进退。如果我想管理国家，这是我唯一的机会。但其中一部分肯定是因为：我想以一种与他们不同的方式管理国家。这不仅仅意味着
但除此之外，意义何在？如果你不打算提供一个替代自由党的方案，那为什么要做一名保守党人？如果没有坚定的信念核心，就没有什么能将保守党人团结起来共同奋斗。
保守党议员米歇尔·伦佩尔·加纳（Michelle Rempel Garner）的一篇文章引起了一些关注，她在文中建议该党避免“再次陷入另一轮漫长的、由悲伤驱动的、愤怒的、沮丧的且幼稚的内部互斗”，也就是所谓的“在帐篷里撒尿”，即在公众面前大声叫嚷并为自己的纯洁性自我祝贺。但无论那样做意味着什么，正如太多政治人物所相信的那样，这并不能带来胜利。
相反，她说，“我们必须承认我们输了，并继续致力于获胜的任务。”因为，毕竟，“政治运动存在的全部意义就是组建政府”。伦佩尔·加纳敦促她的政党具备的统一、纪律和其他品质，都是为了实现这一目标。
而与此同时，一些国会议员和“影响力人士”一直在出现，试图站在总统一边。其他人则在追求疫苗否认论等古怪的诉求。
保守党替代方案的基础是什么？首先，必须成为一个替代方案：不仅是为了反对，而且是为了呈现一个候任政府，让加拿大人在需要时可以转向。在加拿大，这已经变得十分紧迫。
因为，不仅是因为自由党赢得了最近四次选举中的四次，更是因为他们赢了。
只要你能制定出能够吸引足够数量选民支持的政策（无论这些政策是什么），无论它们在个体上是否合理或在整体上是否协调，政党只要知道自己为什么想赢，就能获胜。
此外，自劳里埃时代以来，一直维持着一种“一个半政党规则”。
集体地。公众支持率继续下降。政党存在的目的就是组建政府。”这里我必须停下来。即便如此，他们并不只是在——
25次在过去38.次中获胜。大多数的政党并不只是为了获胜，而是为了争取支持：说服人们支持你，因为他们相信你所相信的原则，或者至少相信你所承诺的原则，他们更有可能最终进入内阁。这可能会挫伤志气。
那么，卡尼先生（Mr. Carney）是否会成为首选？不应该是。他也不应该是最后一个。在多大程度上向权宜之计妥协，将取决于相关政策对你的公共目标的中心意义有多大。而斯蒂芬·哈珀（Stephen Harper）的承诺中，有多少具有这样的重要意义？
政治行动的意义并不在于它们是否合理。政治行动的全部意义在于——
其他特质。值得尊敬的伦佩尔-加纳女士（Ms. Rempel Garner）在说出这句话的其余部分（“以及[...]”）之前，就赢得了支持。目前的民调显示，保守党约在35 per cent左右，低于年初的40%，落后于自由党9个百分点。他们的党魁皮埃尔·波利耶夫（Pierre Poilievre）在一次民调中落后于自由党党魁马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）36 points，在另一次民调中落后18 points。
政党的目的是为了寻找获胜的意志，当他们认为通过这样做能实现紧迫的目的时，这种目的如此令人信服，以至于引导他们抛弃分歧，专注于共同目标。除了组建政府之外，许多政治运动也有其存在的意义。新民主党（NDP）就是一个例子。魁北克党（Bloc Québécois）也是如此。绿党也是如此。因此，可以说，保守党也是如此，因为他们绝大部分的生存时间都花在了未能组建政府上。
政党即使没有执政，也能对政策产生巨大影响。
对于自由党来说，那个紧迫的目的显而易见：在某种程度上是为了权力而维持权力。但同样，对于自由党来说，这是一个合理的预期。
自由党永远不会实施严肃的税制改革，或削减庞大的商业、利益集团、文化组织和媒体的公共补贴，或将受保护的行业开放给外国竞争：他们对权力的掌控过于依赖于维持这种客户关系。
而且，在月底，即将迎来三次联邦补选，其中之一是希库蒂米-勒峡湾（Chicoutimi-Le Fjord），这是一个保守党稳操胜券的席位（现任者理查德·马特尔（Richard Martel）最近被任命为参议员，他是过去九个月内离开议会党团的第五位保守党议员，像其他四名马特尔议员一样，以保守党身份就职）。如果他们失去了那个席位，那么继承政府的循环……
保守党不能这样做。在这种情况下，他们不仅不能阻止政府地，而且他们也不太可能在短期内将公共支出与财政收入挂钩，或者获得
我们政治中最糟糕的病态并非仅仅在于获胜，而在于获胜后的不平衡。加拿大需要永久性地竞争的政治：我们民主的健康状况取决于此。
事实上，许多政策辩论都可以围绕这一事实展开。自由党永远不会……
这意味着需要坚韧——如果你起初没有成功，那么就需要这种特质——而且需要一定的语气克制：人们会支持激进的变革，有时会，但他们不会支持一群狂热分子。
是的，这还需要一些原则上的克制：我们中没有一个人在生活中能得到想要的一切。但这应该伴随着一个警告，即这种前景很可能因此而陷入危险。保守党不会威胁要摧毁他们继承的政府？相比之下，他们失去了什么？
[...]
即将到来的权力，例如——各省脱离联邦救济金，生活，以及你对战斗和绝望将如何更新的确定程度。政府对加拿大公共政策的贡献在九年任期内，除了准备，除此之外。
即便如此，对于贾斯汀·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）来说，并非全是坏消息？
潜在的保守党领导人表现得更好。一项 Nanos 民调发现，加拿大人看不到其他方式可以将其推销给波利耶夫先生（Mr. Poilievre）。
尽管如此，我承认，总的来说，处于权力中心比处于权力之外要好，而且像保守党这样一个曾经尝过权力滋味的政党，在再次尝到它之前是不太可能满足的。
在政治中，正如在商业中一样，最大的成功属于企业家：那个说服人们想要他们之前从未想到过想要的东西的人。因此，保守党有两个理由将自己与自由党区分开来——一方面是因为他们在公共政策层面是必要的，另一方面是因为他们是必要的。
那么，保守党如何才能获胜？
更严肃地说，新民主党（NDP）已经开始重新振作。自从该党在春天选出新领导人艾维·刘易斯（Avi Lewis）以来，支持率有所上升。保守党困境中最大的外部因素是。
对于伦佩尔-加纳（Rempel Garner）女士来说，答案显而易见：“政党相信获胜是可能的，这就是获胜的第一步。”我说获胜的第一步是相信获胜是可能的，而获胜是必要的——即这个国家如此迫切地需要改变方向。
保守党议员米歇尔·伦佩尔-加纳（Michelle Rempel Garner）在她写的一篇文章中，建议她的政党避免“陷入又一轮漫长的、由悲伤驱动的、沮丧且幼稚的内斗”。

GABRIELLE DROLET 的《NEWS TO ME》将于 8, 2026 年 8 月 8 日星期六回归 / 《环球邮报》观点 / O3
押注过去
面对建设新管道所需的数十亿加元成本，加拿大本可以资助热泵和太阳能电池板，建设医院，解决原住民保留地的清洁用水问题，或构建未来的经济，在应对气候变化方面的时间，以及那位致力于创造“最清洁石油”的环境倡导者。Stand.earth的联合创始人兼化石燃料条约（Fossil Fuel Treaty）主席。墨迹尚未干透，许多公司便发起了旨在扼杀他们曾在舞台上庆祝的政策的活动。
我一直在思考马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）和阿尔伯塔省省长丹妮尔·史密斯（Danielle Smith）的宣布，以及不列颠哥伦比亚省省长大卫·埃比（David Eby）与联邦政府签署的旨在增加省内基础设施支出的谅解备忘录，该支出被宣传为在扩大液化天然气规模。
在竞选阿尔伯塔省省长的过程中，杰森·肯尼（Jason Kenney）围绕废除这些政策建立了一场政治运动。他要求我从咨询小组中被撤职，并对阿尔伯塔省的气候计划发起了一场无情的攻击。这些政治攻击导致我收到死亡威胁，最终在埃德蒙顿机场遭到肢体袭击。
工业界及其政治盟友赢了。
那些曾被视为妥协可行的气候政策，现在已被削弱、延迟、废除或放弃。
那次经历教会了我一个在今天看来极其深刻的教训。他们不是气候否认者，也不是拒绝科学或忽视全球变暖后果的人。他们理解气候变化的威胁，以及全球能源转型中出现的经济机遇。
妥协是暂时的。 让步是永久的。
当油价下跌时，政府被告知必须增加产量以保护就业。当油价上涨时，他们被告知必须增加产量以捕捉经济机遇。西海岸管道背后的这些人认为他们已经达到了
必要的妥协：他们认为加拿大需要经济增长、出口收入以及对美国更强的独立性。他们花费多年时间警告称，其他机会在哪里？有证据表明一条 $40 亿加元的管道将产生比投资于清洁替代方案更高的长期经济回报吗？有证据表明，南岸虎鲸种群正处于灭绝的轨迹上吗？目前数量不足 80 头。联邦恢复策略通过识别船只流量、水下噪音、钦努克鲑鱼种群下降以及污染，将这些视为推动这一标志性种群走向灭绝的累积威胁。
拟建的管道将增加所有这些因素。超大型原油运输船（VLCCs）每艘大约相当于埃菲尔铁塔横卧在地的长度，将穿过萨利希海，航经加拿大一些生态最重要的沿海海域。一次事故将造成以十年计的损害。即使没有泄漏，VLCCs 的持续通过也会增加……

他们主张，新管道将加强国家统一，创造繁荣，并为在其他领域采取气候行动提供空间。
这是一个加拿大以前听过的论点。在探讨政治之前，值得从科学角度入手。
当气候政策被提出时，政府会收到关于竞争力的警告。当提供补贴时，政府被告知这些补贴不足。当管道建成时，政府被告知需要更多管道。
理由在变，但结论始终如一。更多的产量。更多的补贴。更多的基础设施。更少的监管。建设一条新的油砂管……
在 COVID-19 疫情期间，政府被告知该行业需要极大的公共支持，事实上，石油和天然气行业获得了 $18 亿加元的公共资金和补贴。在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后，政府被告知，欧洲的能源安全需要更多的加拿大石油和天然气。随着中东冲突的爆发，政府被告知，市场的不稳定性证明了新管道和扩大生产的合理性。
政府被告知，为了在低碳经济中取得成功，需要投资于清洁替代方案。如果这种方案存在，我们应该就此进行强有力的公共辩论。如果不存在，则应进行研究并提交给加拿大人。
人们被要求假设这种投资涵盖了工程专业知识、最佳可用制造能力以及世界一流的研究机构。我们拥有这些。
经济论点中另一个令人困惑的部分是，我们的总理竟然在忽视全球经济已经如何改变。奇怪的是，他曾经是低碳发展的倡导者，而现在他本人却在像曲棍球运动员那样，滑向球曾经在的位置。
政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）已经得出结论，现有的化石燃料基础设施已经足以让我们超过我们一致同意避免的 1.5 摄氏度限制。国际能源署（IEA）已经得出结论，“随着清洁能源的扩展和化石燃料需求的下降，在 NZE（净零排放）情景中，不需要投资于新的煤炭、石油和天然气。”
水下噪音、碰撞风险以及对鲸鱼关键栖息地的干扰。选择大幅增加重油储罐投资，是一项将虎鲸种群推向灭绝边缘的决定。
这些后果并非理论上的。加拿大民众已经在承受气候变化的影响。山火导致全国各地民众流离失所，天空变得阴暗。许多城市和城镇的空气质量已达到危险且不安全的状态。洪水造成了数十亿加元的损失。极端高温现已成为加拿大最致命的天气相关灾害之一。
在全球范围内，影响更为严峻。据估计，目前每分钟就有大约一人死于极端高温。空气污染（其中大部分由化石燃料燃烧引起）每年导致约800万人过早死亡。
全球每四辆售出的汽车中就有一辆是电动车。清洁能源投资（包括可再生能源、核能和电网）以及其他有望在未来数十年内大幅提升先进制造业的领域，目前正推动着新的经济增长。这些行业正成为定义未来数十年经济增长的关键。
这些并非由环保理想主义驱动的利基市场。它们是21世纪最重要的经济机遇之所在。
管道支持者认为，加拿大必须实现出口多元化，减少对美国的依赖，并捕捉亚洲的市场机遇。开拓新市场是一个正当的目标，但这条管道在实现市场多元化方面作用甚微。它几乎没有产生实质性影响。
美国现在且将继续是我们石油最大的贸易伙伴。这不仅是因为管道容量，还因为……
现在，国家统一已成为最新的理由。加拿大人被告知，另一条管道对于维持国家统一至关重要。我们之前听过这个论点。贾斯汀·特鲁多曾将购买 Trans Mountain 管道作为一项更广泛政治妥协的一部分，以此证明其合理性。当时的理论是，一条新管道将表明对阿尔伯塔省的支持，并为碳定价、减排和气候领导力创造空间。
管道获得了批准。公共资金被投入。建设向前推进。
承诺的和平从未到来。相反，阿尔伯塔省的政治领导层以及工业界的大部分人员正声称……
……并非仅仅是建设一件基础设施。它锁定了未来数十年的排放量——而我们的排放趋势已经远超气候能够安全吸收的限度。
经济案例同样值得审视。一条新管道的报告成本可能超过 $40-billion——这是一个惊人的金额。其中尚未披露的部分很可能由公共资金而非私人资本融资。
作为对比，温哥华的新圣保罗医院（St. Paul’s Hospital）建设费用约为 $2.2-billion。$40-billion 可以资助相当于近 20 个大型医院项目。而用一条 $40-billion 管道的成本，加拿大几乎可以将其国内所有巴士更换为零排放电动巴士，并建设相应的充电基础设施。或者为 250 万 加拿大家庭安装热泵。
这些路径将永久降低能源需求、运输成本和排放。或者为超过一百万个家庭提供热泵和太阳能电池板。这也可以解决政府几代人以来一直难以解决的长期需求。在加拿大的某些原住民社区，安全饮用水在经过半个世纪极其昂贵的开发后仍然无法获得。确保清洁饮用水的成本仅为现在讨论的一条管道成本的一小部分。
这 $40-billion 也可以帮助建立能够创造就业、投资和低碳经济的产业。我们已经出口了数十年的资源收入。有了这笔资金，我们可以建立多个电池单元和组件工厂。
在 2016 和 2017 这两年里，我作为阿尔伯塔省油砂咨询小组（由阿尔伯塔省新民主党政府召集）的共同主席，与油砂公司的高管们面对面交流。我遇到了一些深思熟虑且优秀的人。许多人明白气候变化是
与此同时，工业界继续反对清洁能源，而碳捕集与封存（CCS）项目则被用来抵消增加的生产排放，同时将加拿大适度的气候措施描绘成生存威胁。一项项政策被削弱、延迟、拆除或放弃。
这就是为什么我难以接受今天所提出的论点。化石燃料工业最强大的政治盟友多年来一直反对那些本应证明之前的妥协是合理的政策。他们的目标不是管理转型，而是减缓、削弱或阻止转型。与此同时，气候危机在不断加速。政府间气候变化专门委员会和国际能源署都得出结论，认为扩大化石燃料生产是合理的。
即便有关于 CCS 的承诺，总理也承认新项目意味着加拿大将进一步偏离
而许多被引用为未来市场的国家，正积极准备迎接不同的能源未来。它们在投资可再生能源、电气化技术以及旨在减少化石燃料需求的技术。
碳捕集在减少水泥、钢铁和化学品等替代方案有限的行业排放方面可能发挥重要作用。但能源经济与金融发展研究所的一项综合评估显示，在半个世纪极其昂贵的开发后，碳捕集与封存被过度承诺且交付不足。
最后，还有政治上的论点，即这项协议和新管道将带来良好的管理、妥协和更强的国家统一。
加拿大面临的问题不是我们是否能再建一条管道。问题是，考虑到科学事实、我们周围正在展开的气候影响以及全球经济中出现的机遇，我们是否应该支持一个预计价值数百亿 (hundreds of billions) 的行业。
我们拥有成功所需的许多新要素：丰富的可再生能源、关键矿产、工程专业知识、制造能力和世界一流的研究机构。我们可以成为全球清洁电力、电池、储能、关键矿产加工、食品生产和先进制造业的领导者。或者，我们可以支持加拿大国内那些至关重要但正处于困境中的产业。
真实且我们最近的政治历程告诉我们，从我们的减排目标来看，投资农业以及其他有望在未来几十年驱动经济增长的部门，将是这$40 billion最明智的用途。即便在这些公告发布之前，加拿大在所有G7国家中减排记录最差。
$40 billion不仅仅是一条管道的成本。它是衡量加拿大如何看待我们的未来，以及我们是否优先考虑扩大石油和天然气工业，而非捍卫我们的健康、安全和子孙后代未来的尺度。
反对管道的气候论据令人信服。但同时也存在其他环境顾虑。科学家们告诉我们，管道是必要的，因为加拿大需要出口收入。这很合理。但将这项投资与替代方案进行对比的分析在哪里？结果是，这个政府似乎执意要补贴地球上最赚钱且污染最严重的工业公司。
这些建议为阿尔伯塔省的气候计划提供了参考，该计划包括碳基础设施、油砂排放上限、逐步淘汰煤炭以及甲烷法规。

观点 Reddit冲突。最近发表在《科学》（Science）杂志上的研究发现，这些模型认可用户选择的频率比人类高出50，并且即使在用户明显行为不端时，它们仍会倾向于支持用户。

在一段控制欲强的关系中解脱后，Nadia 注册了一个 AI 伴侣应用程序，她的治疗师建议她这样做，以帮助她“识别模式”。Evan，她新结识的 AI “男朋友”，具备了她前任所不具备的一切特质：耐心、体贴且给予无尽的肯定。
“掌控权在妳手中。永远如此，”这是该应用给用户的承诺。Nadia 放下了戒心，越来越依赖 Evan。
这就是我的近期短片《笼子》（The Cage）的前提。Nadia 的经历有一个名称： 谄媚（ sycophancy）。这是指 倾向于过度同意、奉承或简单地确认用户的世界观，甚至超出大多数人类会做到的程度。科技公司几乎没有动力去修复这一点；它所催生的依赖感正是驱动高参与度和利润的因素。
不幸的是，虽然加拿大正在迅速采取行动监管 ，但到目前为止拟议的法规还不足以阻止这种谄媚。
在与一个谄媚的 进行一次交互后，参与者离开时更加确信自己是正确的，而不太愿意考虑他人的观点。这种效果在广泛且多样的人群中均有体现，而不仅仅是弱势或天真的人。此外，这些用户一致认为谄媚的 比中立的 更值得信赖，质量更高，并希望再次使用。
对于主要的 公司而言，谄媚并非一项指令，而是一个他们难以控制的涌现属性。OpenAI 在 2025 年 4 月撤回了一次 GPT-4o 更新，正是因为它变得过于谄媚。Anthropic 2023 年的一篇论文记录了每个主流实验室模型中的这一现象，并解释了其起因。 聊天机器人是通过人类反馈强化学习（RLHF）训练的，这种行为通过像老虎机一样潜移默化地运作——特别是策略上。它最初因强调基础设施防御而受到批评，而非保护个体免受伤害。渥太华的响应是两项法案。法案 C-34，即《安全社交媒体法》（Safe Social Media Act），建议通过强制年龄验证使 16 岁以下儿童远离社交媒体。它还为儿童和成人使用的 聊天机器人设定了规则：不得冒充人类，不得冒充持证专业人士，不得使用旨在培养情感依恋的参与技术。聊天机器人甚至必须在用户表达自残想法的瞬间中断对话并引导其寻求人类帮助。
如果这些规则在接下来的 18 个月内不存在，那么就应该给用户提供设定限制的工具，增加交互阻力，并在平台从成瘾中获利时由平台承担责任。
另一项配套法案 C-36，即《保护隐私和消费者数据法》（Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act），强化了数据隐私保护，将“个人信息”的定义扩大到包括根据一个人的在线行为模式对其做出的推断，以及针对长期影响的独立审计和其他措施，以防止那些随时间推移而非在单次交互中显现的伤害。

尽管意外的暗黑模式令人担忧，但它可能是更令人安心的情景。顺从性绝非上述情况。它是一种隐性而非显性的特质，这种差距并不违反任何具体规则，且表现为一种操纵。当操纵听起来像善意时，就轮到我们来学习操纵在非离散、非明确定义的行为中是什么样子。程女士的研究表明，它确实如此。在操纵关系中，人们习惯于将这种被照顾的感觉与真正被照顾混淆。
这些提案是一组受欢迎的方案，但请注意它们的共同点。每个方案都针对一个具体的、可识别的行为：一个伪装成人类的机器人，一个冒充治疗师的机器人，一个操纵用户验证其最阴暗想法（就像验证其日常抱怨一样）的机器人。AI市场正在爆炸式增长。某些随机应用背后的聊天机器人可能不是 ChatGPT 或 Claude，而是一家你从未听说过的公司的晦涩模型。研究人员已经开始记录一些人称之为“AI诱导的精神病”（AI-induced psychosis）的现象，在这种现象中，与一个日益顺从的聊天机器人的长期交流会强化用户的妄想并触发与现实的断裂。最近的几起诉讼指称，AI伴侣和……

远非完美，但已经使得与体重循环（cycling）的清算变得非常困难。研究长期以来表明，这一过程会对身体造成巨大的伤害，或者导致死亡，而不是成为胖子。对于有些人来说，他们想要的是不再肥胖——不惜任何代价。
“减肥针”（flab jab）一直是这些幻想中的一种，就像神奇的刀子一样，我们中的许多人曾希望有一天会出现一种能“治愈”我们的疫苗。而现在，它出现了，一个非常真实的诱饵，悬在了一群我深爱的人面前。
我们一直致力于创造一个能淡化那些减肥幻想的新世界，一个我们可以以现在的身体状态快乐生活其中的世界。但现在，胖人们被置于一个没有安全选项的十字路口。
与此同时，随着数字化空间日益被法西斯宣传、AI垃圾信息以及邪恶的大科技巨头之意愿所占据，人们正逃离曾经作为胖人们聚集在一起并要求……
虽然并不完美，但使得在 GLP-1 era, 建立的世界变得非常困难。在那种立场上坚持下去是很困难的。
在过去十年左右的时间里，这个世界与我成长时的世界截然不同。这种转变让我对未来感到兴奋。这种兴奋在于增加对休闲时间以及营养食物的获取，或者采取独立于体重的综合方法，例如增加对心血管代谢疾病风险的关注。
在过去几年里，这些空间开始再次发生转变。许多胖人群体以及支持肥胖积极性（fat-positive）的内容现在已经开始消失。在某些情况下，这种可见的变化并未得到承认。其他人虽然讨论了他们的体重减轻，但他们平台上的内容已经发生了转移。令人惊讶的是，他们中的许多人承认自己是为了刻意减肥而服用 GLP-1 药物的。
GLP-1 era, 就像其他流行的减肥时尚一样，是对我们为胖人们建立的新型肥胖积极性世界的巨大威胁。随着通用 GLP-1 药物开始推出，大规模的营销活动及其随后的普及化……

如果有人决定停止服用 GLP-1，来自诺和诺德（Novo Nordisk）——Ozempic 和 Wegovy 的制造商——的数据表明，体重回弹将会发生。这种被称为体重循环（weight cycling）的过程，独立于体重之外，会对身体造成巨大的伤害，包括增加心血管代谢疾病的风险。
Ragen Chastain，一位著名的体重污名化研究员，写道，诺和诺德的数据还表明，对于继续服用 GLP-1 的人来说，体重循环可能在第 68 周出现。考虑到这一点，对于某些人来说，服用这些药物的路径似乎像一个马蹄铁一样弯曲，因为他们最终回到了他们试图离开的身体（以及人群社区）。尽管如此，这些药物依然极受欢迎：Three mil-
今天，GLP-1 era, 的影响感觉像是在抹除我们当前文化意象中肥胖积极性意识形态的任何痕迹——就好像整个社会经常在对着胖人们尖叫：“我们一直都知道你是错的！你怎么敢要求基本的东西，比如尊严和在自己身体中生存的权利！”
我们被药物对待，这带来了一次对肥胖恐惧症（fatphobia）的复燃。对于肥胖者来说，看到我们如此艰苦地争取才获得的公共生活接纳空间在缓慢退步，这令人心碎。这种现象是由 GLP-1 药物引发的，感觉就像一场巨浪，摧毁了我们花数十年时间建立的社区。当面对公众的肥胖偶像，或那些长期领导身体正向（body positivity）和肥胖正向（fat positivity）运动的成员时，这种感觉尤为剧烈。
那些仍站在分岔路口、在两种选择之间权衡的人们，处于一个极其痛苦且毁灭性的境地。他们从小在肥胖恐惧的言论中长大，因此难以拥有一个由关于健康、道德和身体尺寸的更复杂观点所组成的丰富媒体饮食。他们看到诱饵就在眼前，正在挣扎着是否要伸手去抓那个他们长期幻想的东西，但这个东西很可能会让我们失望。
这条道路的旅程因失去同伴而增加了一层悲痛，变得更加艰难。例如，存在大码旅行公司，如果肥胖游客无法坐进飞机的座位，或找不到合适的装备（如救生衣、安全带和更高承重的设备），就无法安全地参与活动。
那些仍处于权衡状态的人们，必须在自己的政治立场、珍视的社区成员——尤其是那些领导身体正向运动的人——与可怕的副作用以及内心深处最恐惧的事物之间进行权衡，这令人精疲力竭，且往往徒劳。为了辨别关于这些药物的哪些信息是真实的，人们不得不让自己成为一名医学专家。
肥胖者经常发现自己处于一种复杂的情绪交织之中：愤怒、愤恨、嫉妒、悲伤和悔恨。每当一个新的诱饵在我们面前晃动时，我们会问自己：这真的能帮到我吗，还是我只是想变瘦？
这个诱饵象征着暂时摆脱我们的创伤和最困扰的想法——关于你的健康，这是一种深刻的非公正且危险的处境，即认为肥胖就是糟糕的，认为如果我们身材瘦小，将会承受更少的身体和情感痛苦，我们将获得各种瘦人特权，例如漂亮的衣服、在公共空间感到舒适，以及——
这种现象还包括大码服装零售商的流失，且随着通用药物选项的不断出现，使用 GLP-1 药物的加拿大人数量预计将增加。我们看到“任何尺寸下的健康”（HAES）和其他体重中立政策在公共卫生领域缓慢退步，人们越来越倾向于认为肥胖是可以接受的。
在公共生活中，你必须不断地面对他人以及持有相反观点的人和行业的质疑，这令人疲惫。
1 肥胖者经常发现自己处于一种复杂的情绪交织之中：愤怒、愤恨、嫉妒、悲伤和悔恨。每当一个新的诱饵在我们面前晃动时，我们会问自己：这真的能帮到我吗，还是我只是想变瘦？
无论付出什么代价，都能被当作人来对待？当房间里坐满了从未生活在肥胖身体中，或者不理解在这样一个沉重世界中作为一个肥胖者生存意味着什么的人时，那种所需的心理劳动和精神负担，在缺乏尊重和安静的共情的情况下，根本是不可能实现的。无论我们理论上多么相信“你的身体，你的选择”，但对于那些选择另一条道路并服用药物的人来说，短暂体验到美好生活的滋味，可能会让他们难以坚定地坚持这一理念，尤其是当其他人选择分享这份负担时。许多人认为，如果我们不肥胖，生活会更好。许多人选择这条路，往往是因为维持肥胖的代价已变得难以承受，或者他们面临着其他成本和挑战。我没有资格告诉任何人应该选择哪条路。这是一个需要由个人独立做出，或在个人与其信任的医疗团队之间做出的决定。
关于肥胖的主流态度具有高度的主观性，并且随着特定时间和地点的政治、经济和社会背景而波动。在过去的2,000年里，在地球上的许多地方，肥胖曾象征着富足、成功，甚至健康。而今天，肥胖则被视为更加孤立。
支撑肥胖解放的价值观——例如身体自主权和安静的共情——在面对那些拒绝服用 GLP-1 类药物的人时，往往会产生矛盾且冲突的情绪。虽然在过去几年里，在让世界对肥胖者更加友好方面取得了显著进展，但唯一能让我们在此时此刻感到慰藉的事实是，尽管历史上无数次试图将肥胖者从地球上根除，但我们依然存在。而且，当下一个“奇迹疗法”出现时，我们依然会在这里。
作为一种有意识减轻体重的工具，GLP-1 类药物通过减少对饥饿信号的感知，强制执行紊乱且高度限制的饮食习惯来发挥作用。此外，为了减轻体重，这些药物需要以高于糖尿病常规处方剂量地服用。
将这种选择视为一种对身体的评论，以及对你选择的评判，这在某种程度上是不可能的——肥胖不是一种感觉。但当你在一个肥胖者的身份中，能够谈论你最深层的恐惧、担忧或与其他肥胖者共同面对的顾虑时，这至关重要。
将信任寄托在一个从未关心过他们生死的是否肥胖的医疗系统中，这往往会让那些拒绝服用 GLP-1 类药物的人产生怀疑。
在过去十年中，莱拉·卡梅伦（Layla Cameron）让自己被那些体型较大的朋友、艺术家和学者所环绕；而这个支持肥胖的社区现在正因 GLP-1 类药物而产生分歧。
CARMIN KÕVAMEES O6 《环球邮报》政府版 / 2026年8月8日，星期六
独裁：加拿大几乎没有任何手段可以罢免一名不适合任职的总理。
政府可以使用“尽管条款”（notwithstanding clause）使其行为获得豁免。它可以推翻《宪章》权利以驱逐非公民。
显而易见，加拿大的议会没有中期选举。一名拥有稳固多数席位的总理可以确保至少四年的议会畅通无阻。
从SNC-Lavalin事件中可以学到的一课是，在某些情况下，将刑事司法系统弯曲以迎合独裁者的意志将相对容易。更糟糕的是，正如我们最近在卡尼（Mr. Carney）身上看到的那样，一名总理可能能够通过吸引议员跨党派倒戈，而无需费心获得选民的同意，就将少数派政府转变为多数派政府。此外，总理可以通过修改或废除固定选举日期立法，轻松地将这四年延长到五年。
如果一个独裁总理认为议会变得过于麻烦，他们可以简单地将其休会（prorogue）数月之久。加拿大宪法允许议会休会长达一年。美国总统没有相应的权力来搁置美国国会。
加拿大总理行使的权力比美国总统受到的限制更少。他或她可以任命任何人担任部长、副部长和大使，而不需要任何议会的审查或批准。在美国，这些任命需要参议院确认，这起到了抑制过度有问题之任命的刹车作用。
美国有一套任命特别检察官的制度，用于在存在利益冲突的情况下调查并可能起诉政府官员的违规行为。例如，前FBI局长罗伯特·穆勒（Robert Mueller）被任命调查 2016 年总统大选中潜在的俄罗斯干预。
加拿大设有皇家委员会和许多公开调查——我们非常热爱这些——但它们只能提出建议。虽然有时其建议会被制定成法律，但大多数报告往往被搁置在一边积灰。
加拿大拥有众多议会代理机构——
缺乏问责机制
将信心寄托在加拿大最高法院身上是错误的。该法院每年仅审理 40 到 60 起案件，且案件传至最高法院需要数年时间。今年早些时候，最高法院审理了魁北克省 21 号法案（Bill 21）的上诉案，该法案禁止在公共领域出现宗教符号。该法律已实施七年。
法院理应保护公民免受权力滥用。特朗普先生的美国经验表明，公民和法院可以减缓独裁者的步伐并阻止某些行动，但其整体影响有限。
如果加拿大政府释放出类似于美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）的机构，那么将刑事司法系统弯曲以迎合独裁者的意志将相对容易。
SNC-LAVALIN与起诉权力
法治下运行的自由民主制度的标志之一是检察官的独立性。威权政体利用法律权力来打击其政治对手和其他“不受欢迎者”。
特朗普先生已将司法部转变为他自己的私人起诉部门。他已指示其司法部长——
ment with varying degrees of efficacy. 效力不一。
谁该被起诉，以及应放弃对谁的起诉。
最强有力的机构将是审计长，其关于克雷蒂安政府时期赞助丑闻的报告最终导致了自由党在 2006. 年下台。但大多数其他议会代理机构不过是纸老虎。例如，信息专员负责管理一个日益僵化的信息获取系统，其头衔听起来一天比一天更像奥威尔笔下的讽刺。信息获取是问责制的生命线，但我们的系统似乎旨在掩盖而非披露。
没有机制能让我们摆脱独裁者
是的，确实有过调查和研究，并提出了一些温和的建议，但这些建议在很大程度上被
SNC-Lavalin 丑闻为刑事起诉的政治化设定了一个危险的先例。这家加拿大公司面临严重的欺诈和腐败指控。作为加拿大的司法部长兼总检察长，乔迪·威尔逊-雷博（Jody Wilson-Raybould）抵制了总理办公室数月以来施加的压力，对方要求她给予 SNC-Lavalin 公司优惠条款。她为此付出了工作的代价，并最终失去了政治生涯。特鲁多先生再次赢得了联邦选举。
一旦（比喻地）安顿在 24 Sussex Dr.，几乎没有任何机制可以罢免一名拥有国家行政机构绝大多数（比如 75% 或 80%，比如说）支持的总理，即便是在极端情况下。相比于那些无法被权力驱逐的政党领导人，让政党领导人对权力之缰绳的控制力稍弱一些会更为理想。
这该如何实现？一个想法是号召现有的政治力量建立基层政治支持，以便
宪章的局限（以及法院的局限）
在加拿大，我们已经初步窥见了这种情况在这里可能如何发生。
《加拿大权利与自由宪章》保护广泛的权利，包括投票权、言论自由、宗教自由、人身自由、语言权利和平等。众所周知，宪章附带了一项立法覆盖条款，即“尽管条款”（notwithstanding clause），允许联邦议会或省立法机关在某些情况下覆盖部分宪章权利。美国没有与之等同的机制。
因此，如果加拿大联邦政府对加拿大公民和居民释放类似于 ICE 的力量，将引发一场宪法危机，恰恰是因为参议院缺乏合法性。
因为参议院不是选举产生的，而众议院是，因此参议院任何试图行使宪法赋予其全部权力的尝试都将引发政治危机：两院之间的僵局，或者一名坚决的独裁总理与一个新获得权力的上议院之间的僵局。
SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026 / THE GLOBE AND MAIL OPINION / O7
党内结构的改革法案。例如，曾经有一群政治操盘手支持自由党财政部长保罗·马丁竞选总理。他们成功地掌控了全国大部分选区的选区协会，随后选出了领导人大会的代表，从而锁定了马丁的领导权提名（他在2003年的党内领导权选举中获得了93.8%的得票率）。这仍然是加拿大历史上最成功的政治动员行动之一。遗憾的是，马丁在回忆录中没有详细描述这一过程。然而，这次壮举的策划者身份在政治圈内已为人所知。这个团体应该重新集结并扩大为一个跨党派团体，以便向各党派的当地候选人施压，为了国家利益而采用该改革法案。
接下来，我们需要将许多构成我们民主制度基础的潜规则法典化。我们不能再依赖政治参与者来遵守这些宪政惯例。传统上，。这种情况已经好几十年没有发生了。总理可以通过在该职位上安装亲信，轻而易举地使总督失效。这并非前例。正如约翰·弗雷泽在其引人入胜的新书《总督们》（The Governors General）中记载的那样，在20世纪80年代和90年代，总理将里都道公馆（Rideau Hall）当作一种用于政治分赃任命的“超级参议院”。对于一个独裁者来说，这是最容易安抚的职位。
我们需要创建一份内阁手册来将宪政惯例法典化。此类手册在英国和新西兰已经存在数十年。它们规定了总督、总理和内阁大臣行使权力的规则。它们处理诸如休会、
在特鲁多先生的改革中，他任命了没有正式党派隶属关系的“独立”参议员。（在朱莱月看来，这似乎重新开启了党派政治任命的时代，而没有政府独立性的伪装。）
那么总督呢？时不时地，我们听到有人要求总督拒绝给予皇家御准（royal assent）以否决立法。这将阻止一项法案成为法律。这种情况没有发生，未来也不太可能发生。总督被视为防御暴政的最后一道防线。这个职位被比作灭火器：一个涂成鲜艳颜色、放置在显眼位置的潜在设备，仅在极端紧急情况才被启用。然而，有时你找不到灭火器，有时它又不起作用。
由于缺乏哪怕一点点民主合法性，总督在挑战一位继续赢得选民支持的总理时，可以理解地会感到犹豫。
在SNC-Lavalin案中，唯一失去工作的人是贾斯汀·特鲁多的首席秘书杰拉尔德·巴茨——他为总理承担了责任——以及威尔逊-雷波德女士，她因对加拿大人的坚定态度而被解职，其政治生涯显然就此终结。
加拿大的媒体是否会抓住机会挑战一个潜在的加拿大独裁者？这个国家的传统媒体已经衰落了几十年。一个加拿大的独裁者可以通过饿死或关闭加拿大广播公司（CBC），或者通过重组其董事会来重塑政治方向
的国家广泛立法同意、选举期间的政府行为、政府过渡以及其他事项。国家级报纸会撰写严厉的社论。根据加拿大独裁者的政治倾向，其中一家可能会挺身而出成为非官方的反对派。然而，另一家可能会成为渥太华独裁者的温和辩护者。没有任何保证媒体会反对独裁者，更不用说发起有效的反对活动了。
我们喧闹但无力的省份
那么省份又如何呢？各省省长能否团结起来制约一名独裁的总理？这不太可能。任何对联邦机构的重大变更都需要省级的批准，但省级政府在没有议会批准的情况下无法修改宪法。此外，联邦政府可以通过减少或扣押联邦转移支付，以此惨烈地惩罚不听话的省份，从而对他们进行示威。
加拿大也没有类似于美国宪法第25修正案的弹劾程序来罢免因行为不端而离职的总理。美国宪法第25修正案允许副总统和内阁成员替换一名“无法履行其职务权力与职责”的总统。尽管有SNC-Lavalin事件，但加拿大的联邦制使得独裁总理将刑事司法系统政治化的难度比美国更大，这一点
已故政治学家彼得·罗素（Peter Russell）在十多年前曾尝试在公共政策论坛（PPF）的支持下启动这样一个项目，但该项目停滞了。罗素和PPF召集了前高级公务员、学者、记者以及来自英国和新西兰的代表，旨在撰写一份关于政府组建的基础文件；但由于政府内部缺乏兴趣，该项目最终夭折。当然，一个坚决的独裁者随时可以将其抛弃，但目前甚至连可以抛弃的东西都没有。
第三，借用一个词，我们需要“催化”公众教育、动员以及对加拿大民主的参与。这三者相辅相成。我们的联邦和省级政府在这方面已经失败了。最近特鲁多先生（Mr. Trudeau）在不愿离职的情况下过度留任的经历就是最好的证明。
加拿大确实拥有Historica Canada（《加拿大伟大时刻》的制作方），但我们需要规模更大、能量更强的东西，类似于波士顿成功的iCivics项目（讽刺的是，该项目由一名加拿大人领导）。我们需要开发一套全国性的公民教育课程，联邦政府可以用其支出权力激励各省采用。
最后，我们需要减少这个国家的盲目乐观（例如“我们拥有世界上最好的医疗保健系统”或“我们的法律系统令全世界羡慕”），增加更多的自我反思和制度建设。
无论是自由党还是保守党，其党章中都没有在完整的领导层审查投票之外，能够快速撤换其领导人的程序。
（图片说明） 一名女性在2019年10月，在魁北克省的圣贝尔纳德-德-拉科尔（Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle）的一次反对政府移民政策的示威活动中，戴着顶“让加拿大再次伟大”的帽子。 GRAHAM HUGHES / 加拿大新闻社（THE CANADIAN PRESS）
他们拥有讲台的力量，当然，但在谴责独裁总理试图利用其平台和说服力来影响靠近美加边境的移民问题之外，各省省长最终没有办法制约或罢免一名总理。
加强。我们需要创建一个致力于加强国家民主并向公众普及相关知识的组织。理想情况下，该组织将由一名资深自由党政治家和一名资深保守党政治家共同主持，效仿“为了更美好未来的联盟”（Coalition for a Better Future）由前保守党部长丽莎·赖特（Lisa Raitt）和前自由党部长安妮·麦克莱兰（Anne McLellan）共同主持的模式。它将兼具智库和行动小组的性质。
十多年前通过的《改革法案》（Reform Act）为政党通过党团投票更换领导人提供了一种机制，但该过程是自愿的。每次选举后，每个政党的党团必须投票决定是否采用该法案的其他条款。迄今为止，只有保守党采用了（并在 2022 年移除埃林·奥图尔（Erin O’Toole）的案例中使用了）这一机制。
但司法系统在约束独裁者方面的能力有限。它是被动反应的——它不会主动采取行动，通常是对已经发生的事件做出回应。加拿大司法部（Justice Canada）负责大多数刑事起诉，这意味着它比美国司法部（U.S. Department of Justice）的能力弱得多，能造成的破坏也小得多。毫无疑问，其他人也有其他好的想法。
因此，我们面对的是一个权力极大、缺乏制衡的总理，且几乎没有机制可以在他们违背法治时将其撤职。但我们的体制中一定还有其他机构能够潜在地挫败一名独裁总理。除了法院，参议院、政府——总的来说，各省和媒体又如何？
我们如何让自己免受影响？ 加强自由精神
这是一个关于加拿大民主防止独裁总理崛起的阴暗前景。然而，有一些机制或倡议可以且应当被采取，以加强加拿大民主及其护栏。
谁能拯救我们？ 首先，政党应该拥有以快速且果断的方式撤换总理的权力，而无需依赖于现有的冗长且复杂的领导层审查程序。如前所述，《改革法案》为党团撤换其领导人提供了一个重要工具。英国的保守党就拥有这种权力，其存在本身就促使不受欢迎的总理（鲍里斯·约翰逊、利兹·特拉斯）在被强行推开之前选择辞职。
参议院能否阻止一名独裁总理？也许可以。自诞生之日起，参议院一直是联邦制的“问题孩子”。参议院的设计初衷是区域代表制，但很快就变成了政治分赃的宫殿和丑闻的温床，而非一个深思熟虑的议事厅。
在纸面上，参议院和众议院权力平等。在实践中，由任命产生的参议院几乎总是听命于——
自由民主在世界范围内已经衰落了数十年。没有理由认为加拿大能对此趋势免疫。如果说有什么不同的话，我们比美国更容易出现独裁领导人。
我们长期忽视了政治体制中的许多缺陷。然而，我们还没有失去行动的机会。在我们可以创建或加强的机制或护栏方面，我们虽然受到限制，但至少应该尝试。
我最喜欢的一段话来自名副其实的美国法官约翰·勒恩德·汉德（John Learned Hand）。1944 年，他发表了一篇名为《自由精神》（The Spirit of Liberty）的演讲，在其中他提到——
玛格丽特·撒切尔曾说过：“自由存在于人们心中；当它在那里消亡时，没有任何宪法、法律或法院能拯救它；没有任何宪法、法律或法院能帮上忙。”我们需要滋养并加强这种精神。
选举产生的下议院的意愿。在极少数情况下，参议院曾阻止法案成为法律。如果参议院变得更加大胆并经常否决下议院的意愿，那么……
每个政党都应被敦促采取《改革法案》的条款。不过，该法案应被修订以成为强制性的。同样，政党章程……

可游泳城市是更好的城市 丹·鲁宾斯坦（Dan Rubinstein）写道，在城市中游泳——这也是我们如今大多数人的生活地——会让您与水的关系变得更加亲密。
观点 渥太华作家 观点
在城市中游泳——这也是我们如今大多数人的生活地——会让您与水的关系变得更加亲密。
丹·鲁宾斯坦的最新著作是《水之承载：一段1,200英里的桨板朝圣之旅》（Water Borne: A 1,200-Mile Paddleboarding Pilgrimage）。
如果获取途径公平，城市水域可以提升宜居性、气候韧性和经济繁荣，全球可游泳城市联盟（Swimmable Cities alliance）创始人马修·赛克斯（Matthew Sykes）如此认为。
在温哥华，一个由私人基金会资助的游泳平台将启动一系列新建筑的建设。
虽然加拿大的首都处于一个“催化点”，且国家步道入口湾（Entrance Bay）——即里多运河（Rideau Canal）北端的船闸所在地——是该国首都最标志性的地点之一。在国会山的尖顶之下，以及穿过河流，从……
赛克斯先生说，在这里游泳尚未成为主流。“如果您可以举办一场晚餐派对，而人们在谈到在渥太华河游泳时不会感到尴尬，那么我们就成功了。”
“多年来，我们一直在讨论可步行和可骑行的城市，”赛克斯先生说，他去年12月从墨尔本搬到了渥太华。“这就是……”
加拿大人不应该不得不审计他们的杂货账单
温哥华的一名居民最近通过一个在线杂货应用程序订购了一份烤肉。广告价格是$22.30。当包裹送达时，包装上的贴纸也显示为$22.30。然而，我的收据显示我被收取了$31.93。
您可能会认为这只是一个简单的错误。但这已经不是第一次发生了。
在过去几年里，我成了一个不情愿的杂货账单审计员。在去年夏天最热的一天，我
开始严重依赖在线杂货购物，原因与许多加拿大人一样：方便。作为一名在家工作的自由职业者，我的收入取决于我在办公桌前工作的时间。花在买菜上的时间就是我没有赚钱的时间。再加上繁忙的家庭日程，包括接送儿子参加童子军会议和活动，在家庭办公室点击“结账”而非在超市花上一小时的吸引力是显而易见的。
我没料到的是，在线杂货购物会要求我仔细对比截图、审查收据并拍摄产品标签，以确保我被正确计费。问题几乎总是涉及按重量销售的肉类产品。零售商解释说，标价是估算值，因为最终成本取决于所选商品的实际重量。这个解释听起来足够合理，而且估算价格与最终价格之间的微小差异……
这一轶事得到了渥太华河守护者（Ottawa Riverkeeper）2020年一项调查的支持，该调查报告称，92%的受访者认为渥太华河
在加拿大历史博物馆，它在塑造这座城市的木材贸易中发挥了核心作用。到19世纪中期，海湾经常被锯末堵塞，影响了动植物的健康，并引发了偶尔发生的甲烷爆炸。
在最近一个闷热的下午，我骑车从位于渥太华南部的家中前往入口湾（Entrance Bay）游泳。这条河比以前干净得多；除了大雨之后，它通常符合娱乐用水质量标准。但我的这次游泳也受到了一种文化变革的推动。我从新的东码头（East Wharf dock）跳入河中，该码头是国家首都地区接纳游泳活动以及一项旨在重新校准人类与城市水道关系的国际运动的一部分。
码头和入口湾上的阶梯式木质座椅于6月中旬开放，加入了渥太华和加蒂诺（Gatineau）新公共游泳点的浪潮中。
我的同事巴努·厄梅齐（Banu Örmeci）和我一起去里多河（Rideau River）游泳，这条河流入渥太华河。违反城市法规，我们从卡尔顿大学附近的一个公共码头跳了进去。
厄梅齐女士是一位环境工程研究员，专门研究废水处理，我在通讯部门担任作者。我在采访厄梅齐女士，写一篇关于游泳的故事，尽管她的实验室当时正在测试那段河水以证明它几乎总是符合污染标准，但我无法说服任何一名同事加入我们。他们认为里多河不干净（尽管他们可能不会对度假区一个未经监测的湖泊产生怀疑）。
对赛克斯先生（Mr. Sykes）来说，国际“金标准”是哥本哈根和苏黎世。前者遍布海港浴场；后者则有一个湖泊和一条河流。在北美，创新的城市游泳项目正在开展，这是城市规划的下一个前沿。
“到夏天结束时，我认为人们将发现[东码头]可以成为每个城市生活的一部分，”他补充道。“这种转变，从不可能变为必然，正在世界各地的城市中发生。”
“可游泳城市”（Swimmable Cities）于2024年启动，就在巴黎奥运会之前，当时游泳者大规模地首次返回塞纳河，这是100年来的首次。该组织目前在37个国家的115个城市拥有超过230个成员，包括市政府、非政府组织和大学，共同努力使其变得更简单且更安全。
可以理解。neau。除了在2025年安装在人工湖上的季节性码头，以及在市中心东侧河道上精心修复的一座百年船屋外，现在那里有十几个官方免费游泳点，包括7月中旬在历史博物馆前开放的另一个码头。
所有这些项目均由国家首都委员会（NCC）主导，该国有企业负责管理该地区的联邦土地。它们体现了该机构核心区域规划中的三个“重大举措”之一：“转向水域”以“打造一个令人振奋的首都，”纳斯鲍姆（Nussbaum）先生说道，并反映了一种“为所有人开发公共空间”的职责。
其营销口号宣称，将创造出“无需开车即可享受的度假小屋氛围”。
在渥太华和加蒂诺有几个设有救生员的浅水沙滩。新码头没有监管且位于深水区。“让我们成为负责任的冒险者，”纳斯鲍姆先生说，并提到学习游泳计划和“水域素养”在克服文化和经济障碍方面的重要性。首席执行官托比·纳斯鲍姆（Tobi Nussbaum）告诉我，“我们希望居民和游客停止（恐惧）。”

使该地区的生活变得更好，但只有13%的受访者认为在成年人游泳方面完全安全。问题在于，仅凭重量似乎无法解释我遇到的许多差异。在某些情况下，应用程序中的广告价格、肉类标签上的打印价格以及收据上的实际收费全部不同。不止一次，应用程序中显示的价格与包装上的打印价格完全一致，但我被收取了更高的金额。如果产品标签和广告价格不一致，很难理解是什么导致了这种差异。
这些并非微小的差异。有些“相当可观”。在一次订单中，广告价为$11.46的三文鱼被收取了$16.56。广告价为$12.24的牛肉被收取了$16.28。在另一个案例中，标价为$21.06的一块侧切牛排最终花费了$35.67，涨幅近70%。
这些并非孤立事件。回顾我的记录，我发现了跨越数年、涉及鸡肉、炖牛肉、三文鱼、烤肉和牛排的投诉。每次我都必须联系客服请求更正。涉及的金额很少能改变生活，而是渐进式的微小变动：这里三加元，那里八加元，人们可以察觉到。
在纽约，一个加号形状的泳池将在东河进行测试。但研究表明，人们以各种方式在“蓝色空间”中活动——从划船到野餐。在水中、在水上或在水边度过的任何时间通常对我们的心理和生理健康有益，尤其是对于那些处于社会经济光谱底端的人。我们不需要豪华的设施。场所的数量更为重要。
工业污染和污水流入城市水域的记忆依然挥之不去，厄尔梅奇（Örmeci）女士说，而且对风险的认知很难改变。“在炎热的一天，没有其他地方是我更想去的，”她一边在水中踩水一边说道。
触手可及，就在那里。但这恰恰是游泳的魅力所在。人们以无数种方式在“蓝色空间”中消遣，从划船到野餐。但研究表明，无论是在水中、水上还是水边度过的时光，通常都对我们的心理和生理健康有益——根据维也纳大学的环境心理学家马特·怀特（Mat White）的说法，对于社会经济地位较低的人群而言尤其如此。
蓝色空间还促进了对自然世界的管理意识，并提供了跨越（种族、阶级、年龄）这些通常将我们分隔开的界限进行社交互动的机会。这很有道理：水编织在我们的DNA中，流经我们的身体和社区。
目前，我很满足于在东码头（East Wharf dock）消暑，看着云朵飘过，思考这条河流发生了多么巨大的变化。
在讨论城市规划时，谈论美感是否合适？当这是一个值得讨论的问题时，答案是肯定的。大多数人不太可能注意到，虽然三层楼的河畔屋（River House）是一栋精致的综合用途建筑，但游泳码头的运营成本较低，不会给下游带来财务负担，而且如果初始位置不理想，未来也可以搬迁。为了延长游泳季节，国家首都委员会（NCC）计划今年秋天在河畔屋安装一个漂浮桑拿房，旨在效仿奥斯陆市中心蓬勃发展的峡湾边桑拿场景。

大多数消费者在结账前不会截屏。大多数人不会将收据上的每一项商品与广告价格进行对比。很少有人有时间或意愿在拆开杂货包装后仔细检查标签。
而且他们为什么要这么做？当加拿大人在店内购物时，他们通常认为显示的价格就是他们将支付的价格。如果一件商品扫描错误，许多零售商都有纠正错误的程序。消费者并不被要求在前往结账前拍摄货架标签的照片。
在线购物似乎运作方式不同。越来越多的责任似乎落在消费者身上，由他们来识别价格差异并证明其发生。获得更正的过程可能出人意料地耗时。大多数杂货应用程序允许客户对费用提出异议，但根据我的经验，这些异议并不总是能得到解决。在最近的几次经历中，我被迫直接给商店打电话，解释问题，提供照片，并再次跟进以获得退款。
最让我困扰的不是偶尔的错误。任何零售环境都会发生错误。让我担心的是，人们预期消费者应该承担寻找并修复这些错误的成本。如果零售商的系统经常产生价格差异，那么记录证据、操作投诉系统和追讨退款的负担不应落在购物者身上。客户支付的是便利。他们不应该在每次订单送达后进行质量控制检查。
在线杂货购物不再是一项小众服务。对于在工作和育儿之间奔波的家庭、行动不便的老年人以及缺乏便捷交通工具的人来说，它已成为他们购买食物的重要方式。随着越来越多的加拿大人将杂货购物转移到线上，价格透明度比以往任何时候都更重要。消费者应该能够信任结账时显示的价格与他们最终支付的价格基本一致。而且当错误发生时，更正应该是简单且自动的。
在杂货成本仍然是全国各家庭主要关注的问题之际，加拿大人不应该在他们的未尽职责清单中增加“收据审计员”这一项。

AI时代小说存在的理由 我们去哪里才能发现自己是谁，以及我们可能成为谁？亚历克斯·普格斯利（Alex Pugsley）认为，答案就在我们的书中。具体来说，在我们的小说中。更具体地说，在我们的多部曲小说中。

亚历克斯·普格斯利是一位作家和电影制作人。他的最新著作《银湖》（Silver Lake）是小说系列中的第三部。
Canadian readers will 像普鲁斯特一样，圣·奥宾（St. Aubyn）的半自传式探索在社会讽刺和浪漫主义之间徘徊，但他的系列可能被更好地理解为一部创伤叙事。帕特里克·梅洛斯（Patrick Melrose）这一中心人物，正试图从可怕的童年虐待以及此类虐待所代表的问题，以及药物成瘾中恢复（正如《卫报》在描述由本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇主演的改编剧集时所称的，“服用海洛因的哈姆雷特”）。

巴尔扎克的工作和兴趣将极大地影响埃米尔·左拉（Émile Zola），后者在约30年后出版了自己的多部曲系列：《鲁贡-马卡尔家族》（Les Rougon-Macquart），这是一部由20卷作品组成的巨著，讲述了

这五本书呈现了帕特里克从5岁到45岁的成长过程，尽管该系列最初被构思为三部曲，但
三部曲小说将存在于一个永无止境的循环中，讲述一个单一家族的历史，在另外两卷（被统称为《所有钥匙》，于10年后写成）中，时间跨越至19世纪下半叶。在法国，这被称作“长篇小说”（roman-fleuve）。读者会非常欢迎这些补充内容。这些书将追踪希尔德布兰特家族三代人的故事。每位作者使用多卷叙事系列的方式各不相同，而对于弗兰岑来说，正如他最近的一次采访所证明的，他将“小说视为最基础的人类艺术”，我怀疑额外的卷册是必要的，以便恰当地——且以弗兰岑的方式——开发并展示其角色内心生活的深度——弗兰岑非常小心地——他费尽心思地——展示其相互依赖的中西部亲属之间因果关系的由来。他的书通常看起来像是默里·鲍文的家庭系统理论转化为小说。
在过去几年中，越来越多的作家开始转向连作小说。我指的不是像《冰与火之歌》、《地球之子》、《暮光之城》系列，或《五十度灰》和《哈利波特》系列，或者《沙丘》系列（26卷）这类类型小说，而是纯文学作家。加拿大读者会记得罗伯逊·戴维斯的三部曲，但如今的作者们倾向于更大规模的群集。不仅是三部曲，还有四部曲、五部曲，以及六部曲。当就本文寻求评论时，弗兰岑对该系列的完成态度友善但谨慎。“这相当[...OMITTED...]
随机的挑衅。
我们如何在这种环境中定位自己？我们如何思考大局？我们去哪里寻找我们是谁，以及我们可能成为谁？答案，我觉得，就在我们的书中。具体来说，就在我们的小说中。而且具体来说，就在我们的多卷小说中。而且在这方面我并不孤单。
必须提到罗曼·罗兰的《让-克里斯托夫》（10卷）、罗杰·马丁·杜·加尔的《蒂博一家》（8卷）、朱尔·罗曼的《善意之人》（27卷），以及马塞尔·普鲁斯特的《追忆往事》（7卷）。最后一套作品经常被引用为该类作品的杰作。
普鲁斯特的巨著关于什么？它关于一个将镇上的富人理想化的人，以奢侈的细节描绘他们，渴望加入他们的上流社会，结果却发现他们中的许多人在缺乏适当道德、视角或成熟度的情况下生活，从而获得他们自己的满足感。但时间流逝、人们演变以及身份转变所传达的感觉——这种感觉是至关重要的原因，尽管其所有[...OMITTED...]
在一段枯竭期之后，长篇小说再次在世纪末和20世纪前几十年兴起，产生了四部现代主义史诗：圣奥宾在1992年至2011, 之间出版了《梅尔》系列，大约在许多其他欧洲作家开始尝试文学序列及其形式的同时。
具体来说，我们的多卷小说。
提及必须包括埃莱娜·费兰特的《那不勒斯四部曲》（2011-2015）——一套四卷本作品，记录了埃莱娜·格雷科和莉拉·切鲁洛之间终生的友谊——但保持着国际畅销书《我的天才女友》的节奏，这是斯堪的纳维亚的三套系列。卡尔·奥韦·克瑙斯高尔的《挣扎》（6卷）在2009年至2011年之间出版，罗伊·雅各布森的《巴勒编年史》（4卷）在2013年至2020, 之间出版，而索尔维·巴莱的《体积计算》（7卷）在2020年启动，其最后一卷仍在[...OMITTED...]
即将到来。虽然有可能，但绝非如此——以及七卷本及更多。我在谈论的是那些对琐碎之事极其沉迷的人，以及关于《我的奋斗》的讨论，关于这部作品曾引发巨大的轰动，被视为一名挪威“自动写作”倡导者的作品——也就是说，一名直白地书写生活琐碎之事的作者。令人地惊叹的是，在一部新三部曲的中心，这部序列在一些读者看来隐约地缺乏情节。然而，在《巴勒伊纪事》（The Barrøy Chronicles）中，情节却非常丰富，因为它追踪了巴勒伊家族在第二次世界大战期间应对纳粹占领挪威的反应。该七卷本系列将于2027.年11月出版。这很合理，因为巴勒的一切都与11月有关。11月18,，作为其核心的循环主角塔拉·塞尔特（Tara Selter）不断重复那同一天。随着塔拉四处走访，她遇到了其他“循环者”，并思考一个人如何填满他们无限的今天。经过Thirty years的规划，该系列探讨了孤独、气候变化以及，没错，时间的主题。
更接近当代的是我们的作者。他通过电子邮件表示：“所以我很不愿意对预计的三部曲发表太多看法，”他写道，“我由衷地希望它真的能发生。他、巴勒和圣奥本（以及新三部曲）都是该艺术形式的领先实践者，以及他们深切需要的想象世界。”
“河小说”（roman-fleuve，或称“river novel”）流向多个卷册。这是一个深远的记录，记录了一个人、一个家庭或一个社区在数十年甚至数代人中的苦难。角色成长、发展、结合、离散、变得重要，并在不同的时代之间产生联系。普鲁斯特同样是这种艺术形式的典范。爱德华·圣奥本（Edward St. Aubyn）的五卷本系列《帕特里克·梅尔罗斯小说》（The Patrick Melrose Novels）位列现代小说的顶尖之作，并实现了河小说的最高水准。而普鲁斯特显然是这部书的英雄。
1832,年，在以自己和他人名义发表了若干部廉价小说后，巴尔扎克构思了一个宏大的总体计划，旨在创作一系列以贵族为主角的叙事，该系列具有真正的壮丽感。
普鲁斯特在当年的影响力，就像他后来被证明的那样，对书籍产生深远影响。在他的时代，法国小说家在创作《时间之舞》（A Dance to the Music of Time）这部12卷本序列（出版于1951年至1975.年之间）时，心中就有着这种意识。两部作品都以回忆录的形式呈现，且都关注记忆、社会变迁以及，当然，时间的流逝。
从弗兰岑（Franzen）的采访中可以看到：“小说有一种方式能够触及人类经验的核心，以一种让人们获得直观体验的方式，仿佛他们亲历了那个故事。”这很有道理，因为我认为人类经验的核心并非静止：它始终处于流动之中，而且人类经验中曾经存在且将一直存在许多个核心。但我们要寻找的是一个触点，可以用作我们多变生活的基准。在这些多部分组成的虚构世界中，我们更容易找到自己的影子。
“我独自在乡村的一栋小屋里花了几周时间读完了整部《追忆似水年华》，”圣奥本在电子邮件中写道，“这可能是我最专注的一次阅读。”

DAVID WALMSLEY 总编辑 真正忠于首席行政官的人，既不会建议也不会屈从于专断的措施 —— 尤尼厄斯（Junius）
疫情留下的悬而未决的问题 在过去几周里，美国政治的断层线被充分展露，共和党参议员试图就安东尼·福齐（Anthony Fauci）在美国疫情应对中所谓的失误和误述对其进行猛烈抨击。上周，共和党参议员兰德·保罗（Rand Paul）领导了此次行动，就一个长期的问责清单质询国家过敏和传染病研究所前主任福齐博士，其中最显著的是关于COVID-19病毒的起源问题。就福齐博士而言，他拒绝提供答案，援引宪法第五修正案超过100次，尽管他已获得前总统乔·拜登的赦免，使其在1, 2014年1月1日至19, 2025年1月19日期间采取的任何官方行为免于联邦起诉。但该赦免并不能使其免于因随后的行为而被起诉。而由共和党主导的委员会周四投票决定认定福齐博士藐视国会，这可能导致司法部对其提起诉讼。 兰德先生这场闹剧的低俗之处是不言而喻的。但这并不能为福齐博士这位退休公务员的行为开脱，他未能提供答案，不仅是对一名共和党参议员，更是对美国人民。例如，在COVID-19是源自武汉的一个湿货市场还是实验室的问题上，福齐博士的想法是如何演变的？ 美国参议院的听证会以一种迂回的方式，也凸显了加拿大政治的一个核心缺陷。美国的问题在于，公共调查往往演变成一场荒诞的闹剧。而加拿大的问题在于，问题被推到了公众视线之外 —— 对于这场在21, 2010年1月21日造成了极其沉重的生命和金钱损失的公共卫生危机，根本没有进行任何调查。 在“公民决定”（Citizens decision）中，美国最高法院推翻了对公司巨额独立政治支出的限制，认为这违反了第一修正案关于言论自由的保护。换句话说，法院将金钱等同于言论。 至今还没有对联邦和省政府在疫情期间面临的健康、经济和法律挑战进行广泛的审查（记录在案的是，这种审查仍在进行中）。虽然对加拿大的疫情应对进行了回顾，但

在政治领域，就像为了避免我们以及我们子孙后代面临更糟糕的夏季而采取的排放措施一样。并没有统一的反应，但这些努力一直狭隘地集中在公共卫生政策和治理上。需要一项广泛的、跨党派的国家努力来解决那些重大的、尚未解决的问题——这些决定不应仅由公共卫生官员做出，而应由政治领导人共同做出。
关于“一人一票是基本民主原则。我们应该尝试一段时间”（评论版，8月1日）：给每位公民1张选票并不能创造政治平等，因为地理因素和领先者当选制（first-past-the-post）赋予了这些选票截然不同的权力。有些选票能轻松选出国会议员，而有些则无法选出任何人。在人口差异巨大的选区中，某些选票能轻松当选，但仅靠平衡选区规模将使更大的扭曲依然存在。在领先者当选制下，数百万张选票对代表权毫无贡献。区域性的横扫掩盖了政治多样性，且政党经常赢得超出其实际支持率的立法权力。

没有一个统一的日子，但那些努力一直狭隘地集中在公共卫生政策和治理上。政治领导人关注的是数以百万计的捐款，这些捐款开始从极富人群中流出，而现在似乎只是在对选民个人和集体地敷衍。只有当这一决定的影响被扭转时，民主条件才能回归。
一个令人担忧的紧迫领域是学校关闭的严格程度，这在各省之间差异很大。根据弗雷泽研究所（Fraser Institute）的数据，在2020年3月至2022年2月期间，安大略省学校关闭的天数是不列颠哥伦比亚省的两倍多。放假时间的差异可能解释了部分原因，但不列颠哥伦比亚省和安大略省的选择肯定也是一个因素。
这对学生产生了怎样的最终影响？是不列颠哥伦比亚省还是安大略省做出了正确的决定？这不仅仅是一个学术期刊的问题。如果再次出现疫情级别的威胁，了解如何最大限度地减少对儿童教育的损害将会很有帮助。同样，一项广泛的调查可以对公共卫生和政治部门传递的信息进行必要的审查。

我真的不遗憾地说，我对那些没有太多“自我时间”的母亲没有太多的共情。我的母亲有很多“我们时间”，而且她对此没有抱怨。

那么，对于那些大部分时间待在驾驶室中，并且在九个月内一直从事基本服务工作的卡车司机来说，这种政策变动的科学依据是什么？

来自《希贾布：一位母亲与孩子们的反思》（Hijab: Reflections of a mother and children）。这名女性，一名可见的穆斯林，被一名大喊“去他妈的穆斯林”的袭击者拦截；在被要求离开独身女性时，他袭击了该男子。
六月的情况也好不到哪里。在温尼伯，一名在当地公园祈祷的男子遭到一名旁观者的仇恨虐待。
五月同样是一个暴力的月份。一名穆斯林男子在阿尔伯塔省圣阿尔伯特（St. Albert）的一座清真寺开车离开时，被一名袭击者截停，对方使用了种族歧视性辱骂并残暴地殴打了他；他因裂伤接受了治疗。在埃德蒙顿，一名戴着希贾布的女性在停车场遭遇肇事逃逸，此前她曾遭受排外虐待。
在安大略省克林灵顿（Clarington），一名穆斯林业余农场主及其家人在网上受到威胁，并遭到肢体冲突，其财产因一场虚假的抹黑活动而遭到恶意无人机的袭击，该活动诬称该家庭屠宰动物，包括加拿大的鹅。
四月也相当糟糕。在哈利法克斯的一家Costco，两名戴着希贾布的女性被一名男子告知“滚出这个国家”。当其他人介入时，他重复了这句话。
加拿大最近几个月反犹太主义事件激增。同时也出现了大量的一般性仇恨事件。
与此同时，蒙克顿的一座清真寺第三次遭到破坏和涂鸦。在基奇纳-滑铁卢（Kitchener-Waterloo）地区，出现了将穆斯林描绘成敌人以及写有“伊斯兰是邪恶的”字样的海报。
上周五，蒙特利尔的一座清真寺因建筑相邻处的一辆汽车起火而遭受火灾损失，目前该清真寺对礼拜者关闭，当局正在调查是否为蓄意纵火。
在凡尔登（Verdun）的一家伊斯兰中心，一只伪造的血淋淋的断手被留在门外。此外，还发生了一起暴力袭击温尼伯清真寺的事件（上周三）；现场有枪击且窗户被打破，而当时有信徒（包括儿童）在内部。（就在此前几周，有六名礼拜者在内部被谋杀。）
两名可见的穆斯林女性在国会山被一名女性骚扰，对方贬低她们的着装并告诉她们“回到你们的有毒沙地去”。包括总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）在内的政治人物谴责了这一事件，称“这种暴力伊斯兰恐惧症行为令人震惊，在加拿大没有立足之地”。
在魁北克伊斯兰中心，一名伊玛目在车内坐着时遭到肢体袭击，一名男子强行打开他的车门并告诉他“回到你的国家去”。
在魁北克穆斯林看来，这令人回味。
克林灵顿的善良人们在一次市政厅会议上聚集在一起，支持受骚扰的穆斯林家庭，并坚定地反对恐惧煽动。
在这种更加孤立的数字时代，人与人之间的连接是一种强大的货币，正如我们可以学习到的那样，我们有很多共同点。我们的心，就像这片土地一样，足够宽广，能够面对仇恨提供安慰与团结。克林灵顿的做法可以作为加拿大的蓝图。
这需要政府、执法部门、法院和公民社会的强力回应。当地社区在加强社会凝聚力方面可以发挥关键作用。
在安大略省汉密尔顿的一所私立伊斯兰学校，课程被中断。一名在杜兰区（Durham）的戴希贾布的巴士乘客在被称作恐怖分子后遭到肢体袭击。
快速建设大型工程——除非有补选干扰，尽管在跑道安全扩建方面，这种情况在某种程度上已经在发生了）。
评论 罗宾·厄尔巴克 (ROBYN URBACK)
但本届政府一再坚持，经济发展是其政治议程最前沿的部分：即“要成为G7中最强大的经济体，加拿大必须现在就行动。现在就投资。恰恰是在困难时期。”以及“加拿大必须以几代人未见的速度建设基础设施。”
卡尼先生在发出这些紧迫的行动呼吁时，一定忘记了加上“除非即将举行补选”。
总理办公室肯定意识到，任何项目的最激烈反对者总是最倾向于提供反馈的人，这就是为什么87%的自选受访者敦促渥太华阻止福特先生的提案。
但显然，这足以惊吓到联邦政府，使其在“此时”阻止该项目，尤其是考虑到这是一个政治未知数，而46%的人表示支持。起初，卡尼先生似乎是该计划的支持者之一，在被问及此事时将其称为一个“非常有趣的愿景”。
卡尼先生誓要让工程落地，但在一个地理位置特殊、相当不复杂的案例中，他已经绊了跤。
拟议中的比利·毕晓普多伦多市机场（Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport）扩建计划曾是马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）总理的一个测试案例，而且是一个相当简单的案例。这是一个不涉及多个管辖区、不涉及省际利益或原住民土地主张的基础设施项目（尽管在5月下旬，豪德诺索尼发展研究所要求就计划进行正式磋商）。
联邦政府甚至不需要启动开发计划：这是安大略省省长道格·福特（Doug Ford）的心血之作。渥太华真正需要做的，就是退后并让它自然发生。
但机场扩建遭到了大规模反对，因为加拿大航空（Air Canada）的扩建当然会带来影响，正如多伦多自由党议员们几乎已经从其选民那里听到了大量抱怨一样。对一座通往比利·毕晓普机场的桥梁的反对，可以说让2003年的市长竞选变成了大卫·米勒（David Miller）的胜利。当时有人担心增加消防车在比利·毕晓普机场跑道上的飞行运行。
于是卡尼先生夺走了这个空间：就在今年3月下旬，渥太华宣布它正在阻止福特先生的 最终决定，理由是收到了“反馈”。
弗兰克·冈恩 (FRANK GUNN) / l 飞机从多伦多岛起飞
向渥太华汇报。但这发生在自由党国会议员兼交通部长重新审视该项目之前。当时出现了针对允许喷气式飞机于2015年起在该机场运行计划的集会和抗议活动。内特·埃尔斯金-史密斯（Nate Erskine-Smith）确认他将辞去比奇斯-东约克（Beaches-East York）选区的议席，该选区一直延伸至多伦多的东部水岸，而扩大机场运行的影响将在那里感受最深。
该选区自2015年以来在联邦层面由自由党把持，但在2011年由新民主党（NDP）赢得，且该选区通常倾向于投票给省级的新民主党。一场联邦补选现定于8月31日举行，届时埃尔斯金-史密斯的前助手坦维尔·沙纳瓦兹（Tanveer Shahnawaz）希望保住该席位。
这些结果显然反映了某种程度的选择性偏差，因为随机抽样民调显示情况更为分歧：根据最近的一项Liaison Strategies民调，大约49%的多伦多居民反对机场扩建。
关于是否允许喷气式飞机“永远”进入的决定，总理回应道：“‘永远’是一个很长的时间。”的确，他的观点可能在9月1日早晨再次发生变化。如果这些地区也举行预定选举会发生什么？
关于机场扩建，支持论点（创造就业、旅客便利、经济产出、增强航空业竞争力）和反对论点（噪音和空气污染增加、拥堵加剧以及填海造陆）都有合理的依据。
卡尼先生在构建重大项目的自身测试中失败了，而且是在现在这个“最困难”的时候。那么，卡尼先生的决心在面对新管道计划、矿山或高铁计划时会有多强——如果这些计划穿过有争议的原住民领地，或触犯省级利益，或激怒更多有组织的气候活动人士？
也许他会选择重新开始——就在补选结束后立即开始。
最近，超过87,000人响应了要求政府就扩大岛屿机场（再次允许喷气式飞机进入）进行咨询的呼吁——87%的人表示支持。
对于2027-28赛季的延迟——如果他能做到的话——距离现在已经一年多了。
MARSHA LEDERMAN 评论
现在，Cultch的执行董事海瑟·雷德芬（Heather Redfern）再次在匆忙应对其艺术家可能无法进入加拿大的可能性。一名巴勒斯坦剧场艺术家的签证延迟令人遗憾，目前仍在处理中。谢哈达（Shehada）的生物识别信息已于2025年9月5日提交，且刑事记录和资格评估已完成。但安全验证自九月以来一直在进行中。
她将其称为个人故事，而非政治问题。看来这样的一场演出在本质上不可能不具有政治色彩，但那又怎样？那将是一件憾事。《杰宁之马》（The Horse of Jenin）也曾引发抗议
大约一年前，在2025年8月17日，Alaa Shehada申请了临时居民签证以便前往加拿大，在那里他受邀表演其广受好评的独角戏《杰宁之马》（The Horse of Jenin）。该剧原定于去年3月在温哥华的Cultch剧院上演，作为战士节（Warrior Festival）的一部分。但由于没有签证，演出不得不取消。
然而，当Shehada先生持有有效签证于11月抵达肯尼迪国际机场（JFK Airport）时，他被拘留、审问，被关进移民拘留设施，并被遣返回阿姆斯特丹。美国海关和边境保护局告诉NPR，Shehada先生在抵达时的面试过程中因“不符合事实”而被拒绝入境。
目前尚不清楚这是否对加拿大模糊的局面产生了任何影响（或导致了拒绝）。距离10月8日的首演仅剩两个月，Shehada先生的申请仍卡在系统中。负责此项工作的顾问表示，观众应该从“当事人”那里听到真相。
加拿大移民、难民及公民部（IRCC）告诉《环球邮报》，无法在未经申请人同意的情况下对具体案例发表评论。
代表该剧院所在地选区的国会议员Jenny Kwan在写给移民部长Lena Metlege Diab和公共安全部长Gary Anandasangaree的信中（Cultch剧院也与《环球邮报》分享了这封信），要求优先处理他的档案且“不得延误”。
剧院目前处于待命状态，并计划在Shehada先生获准入境后上演该作品。但只要签证尚未批准，他们就不会推进。
Redfern女士是否知道延迟的原因？她问过对方吗？
“嗯，他是巴勒斯坦人。”
她当时坚持自己的立场，现在正竭尽全力将《杰宁之马》带到加拿大。她明白艺术在理解人类灾难中所能发挥的重要作用。Cultch剧院已将《杰宁之马》列入其2026-27演季。很难想象签证审批竟然需要一年多时间。
但如果不能及时获得签证，Cultch剧院将尝试将其重新编排。
这部剧借鉴了他在被占领的西岸杰宁度过的童年个人记忆（且强烈反对以色列的占领）。
该剧在去年的爱丁堡边缘艺术节上获奖。
“这是一个充满魔力的故事，”Redfern女士说。
在剧中，Shehada先生说：“对我们来说，这匹马……不仅仅是自由的象征。对我们来说，这匹特洛伊木马[是]我们抵抗、韧性和生命力的象征。”
这部剧通过以色列-加拿大演员Itai Erdal（曾服役于以色列国防军 IDF）的表演和创作呈现。
Shehada先生是一位居住在阿姆斯特丹的巴勒斯坦国民，拥有当地居留权；他在布赖顿也拥有居留权，并持有英国工作许可。
在2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列后几周，从加沙——这尊雕塑被以色列国防军（IDF）移走。
一名德国艺术家利用第二次起义后的以色列军队行动留下的瓦砾，为巴勒斯坦儿童打造了一尊巨大的马形雕塑。它在市中心矗立了多年。
如果这部关于男孩和雕塑的剧作被视为某种政治上的“特洛伊木马”，那将是非常荒谬的。Redfern女士表示，无论人们是否同意艺术家的观点，这种信息无论如何都已经无处不在了。

迈克尔·亨德里克斯 (MICHAEL HENDRICKS) 倡导者，84岁
同性恋权利活动家在蒙特利尔留下深远遗产 在经历了艰苦的六年法律斗争后，他于2004年与长期伴侣René LeBoeuf的婚姻成为魁北克省的首场同性婚礼 ERIC ANDREW-GEE 当Michael Hendricks在1998年申请结婚许可证，准备与他的长期伴侣René LeBoeuf结婚时，蒙特利尔法院的办事员感到不知所措。不，不，她说，这不行——必须有一名丈夫和一名妻子。好吧，Hendricks先生回答道，我负责做饭，所以我猜我就是妻子，而René负责洗碗，所以他一定是丈夫。这种不羁的反抗精神最终使Hendricks先生和LeBoeuf先生成为魁北克省首对结婚的男同性恋伴侣。
但2004, 4月的这个喜庆时刻，是在经历了艰苦的六年法律斗争以及长达数十年的同性恋权利抗争之后才实现的，这段抗争包括了艾滋病危机最黑暗的时期以及导致该危机的系统性恐同心理。在20世纪80年代和90年代，Hendricks先生目睹了朋友们在伴侣去世后被赶出公寓且一无所有，因此他决心为同性伴侣争取完整的法律地位。
当Hendricks先生于7月18日去世，享年84岁时，LeBoeuf先生享有与任何其他鳏夫相同的保护。但Hendricks先生的活动范围远超同性恋群体，许多蒙特利尔人的生活因为他而变得更好。
Hendricks先生原籍新泽西州，成为了他所选择的家乡魁北克的一名模范公民。他致力于为女性性工作者、遭受警察暴力的黑人受害者以及美国战争难民争取权利。

“他是一个伟大的人，”Roger LeClerc说道，他是Hendricks先生在蒙特利尔的“酷儿智囊团”成员之一。“他是一个捍卫每个人权利的高尚之人。”
Hendricks先生1941年11月7日出生并成长于新泽西州特伦顿，为了逃避越南战争，他搬到魁北克开始了新生活。正如他后来讲述的那样，他是在1968年访问蒙特利尔时，接到母亲电话说她收到了他的征兵通知。他决定直接留下来。
在Rose被谋杀一周年之际，该团体在商场举行了活动。随后，该团体转向“在成员最后的日子里陪伴他们——其中许多人被家庭抛弃或断绝关系，”Hamilton写道。
Mark Andrew Hamilton是康考迪亚大学的一篇关于蒙特利尔艾滋病危机的硕士论文作者。
“当时人们如此深信这是一个英语人群体的问题，一个纽约问题，”他说。“有一种奇怪的想法，如果你不去旧金山的Mineshaft或类似的同性恋巡游俱乐部，你就……”
Hendricks先生在20世纪90年代的项目之一是在Village建立一个公园，以纪念那些死于艾滋病的人。这个景观优美的空间现在被称为Parc de l’Espoir——一个Hendricks先生并不认同的感伤名称。他并不认为已经发生的事情有多少“希望”。
对HIV危险的认识在魁北克同性恋群体中出现得相对较晚，部分原因是与危机中心美国在文化和语言上的距离。
关于《加拿大权利与自由宪章》的意识在法院审理过程中逐渐增强，同性婚姻在安大略省和不列颠哥伦比亚省得以实施。最终，在2004年，魁北克上诉法院授予他们立即结婚的权利。联邦政府在次年将同性婚姻合法化至全国。
他们的朋友们在4月 1 日挤进法院，看着他们穿着燕尾服并打着粉色领结结为夫妻——正如新闻
媒体。相机- 他的第一个活动人士角色是协助- 顺便说一句，你不会得艾滋病。或者如果你“我们的好朋友们正在死去，”亨德里克斯先生说，“而他们全部在1995年12月1日前去世了。”其他良心拒服兵役者没有与一名逃过边境的盎格鲁-撒克逊人睡觉。他随后帮助经营一家为战争抵制者提供服务的旅舍，其中包括来到北美接受培训然后乘巴士潜逃至蒙特利尔的越南军官。然而，到那个年代末，流行病已不可避免。在1989年的一次近30位朋友的聚会上，ACT UP蒙特利尔分会由于成员中出现死亡和残疾浪潮而解散。但大多数人认为，亨德里克斯先生和勒博夫先生是那里仅有的两名HIV阴性者。
那些年的这座城市正处于Expo 67的余晖中，那次世界博览会的巨大成功吸引了超过5000万名游客。皮埃尔·特鲁多总理当时正处于在全加拿大范围内将同性恋行为去罪化的边缘。魁北克民族主义的“静默革命”正处于鼎盛时期。
但在蒙特利尔同性恋者的其他生活方面，天空已变得阴暗。1987年，蒙特利尔警察枪杀了一名黑人男子。23岁的酷儿活动人士乔·罗斯在城市公交车上被杀，这仅仅是当年一系列恐同谋杀案中的一起，而当时的警察往往不愿将仇恨视为可能的动机。一次针对Sex Garage仓库的暴力突袭发生在1990年，警察在殴打参与者之前摘掉了自己的警徽，这成为了行动的另一个催化剂。
他并不刻意追求认可，但后来在生活中他还是得到了认可。研究蒙特利尔酷儿历史的人员在采访中寻求他的帮助，而一部关于蒙特利尔艾滋病危机的热门2025年剧作中出现了一个名为迈克尔·亨德里克斯的角色。
他投身于魁北克文化的深处，在主要讲法语的格朗德梅尔（Grand-Mère）附近肖尼冈（Shawinigan）接受了一份计算机编程工作，在那里他很快学会了法语。1973年，在回到蒙特利尔生活期间，他在一个除夕派对上遇到了勒博夫先生。他的新方向就此确定。
他与勒博夫先生对此感到欣喜。当时世界上还没有国家将同性婚姻合法化，而亨德里克斯先生和勒博夫先生申请了——
在经历了高光时刻后，亨德里克斯先生回到了他最舒适的地方：活动人士的战壕。就像一个无法停止回忆战争的士兵一样，亨德里克斯先生最终会称早年90年代那种悲伤的、混乱的强度为他人生最好的时光。部分原因是勒博夫先生一直陪伴在他身边。同行活动人士发现他们形影不离。在90年代后期，随着北美最严重的艾滋病危机有所缓解，这对夫妇开始寻找他们的下一个事业，并在彼此身上找到了答案。
“我们说，‘我们能做些什么来继续我们的活动并激怒人们，’”勒博夫先生在接受《环球邮报》采访时说。“我们说，‘为什么我们不结婚呢？’”
他们两人都非常高兴。
他辞去了国家电影局的一份好工作，去Stella工作，那是一家性工作者非营利组织，在那里他是极少数的男性，就像他曾在魁北克党（Parti Québécois）的行列中，在反警察暴力的示威人群中是一张罕见的白脸一样。
“他们很喜欢看那部剧，并且深受感动且
很高兴地看到，20世纪70年代后期的蒙特利尔同性恋生活相对于早期的压抑而言，是自由且快乐的。市中心东端的初创同性恋村（Gay Village）里，拥挤的酒吧和同性恋浴室热闹非凡。1977年，一次残酷的警察突袭促使魁北克党（Parti Québécois）禁止基于性取向的歧视，使魁北克成为北美第一个将此类保护法制化的司法管辖区。这位带着迷人且古怪口音的美国移民成为了同性恋活动主义的推动力，组织方式激烈且有时带有攻击性。勒克莱尔（Mr. LeClerc）对他敏锐的洞察力和知识印象深刻——亨德里克斯（Mr. Hendricks）每天阅读三四份报纸——但对他偶尔的严厉也印象深刻。“我听过他训斥人们；他毫不宽容。一旦他下定决心，事情就定了，没有讨论的余地。”勒克莱尔回忆道。有时这些男人“感觉像唐·吉诃德，在与风车搏斗，”勒博夫（Mr. LeBoeuf）说。“对他而言，他在世上必须完成的工作就是如此。”
2001年，他们起诉魁北克政府拒绝让他们结婚，认为这种否认违反了权利。即便寻找一名愿意接手他们案件的律师也是一场“清醒的噩梦”，勒博夫说。他们一次又一次被告知，“人们还没有准备好面对悲伤。”他说，“这比一个人坐在房间里哭要好。”
他们并没有因此气馁。他们见过太多男人死于艾滋病，而幸存的同居伴侣却被幸存的家人驱逐和排斥，“只剩下一张床垫，因为没人想碰它，”勒博夫说。关于纽约和旧金山男同性恋群体中某种“生活方式”疾病的传闻开始传到蒙特利尔，亨德里克斯在一部关于那个era的口述历史中回忆道，但直到80年代初，这对伴侣才看到艾滋病触及他们自己的社区。
围绕这种疾病的污名和无知可能是毁灭性的。当朋友伯纳德（Bernard）在皇家维多利亚医院（Royal Victoria Hospital）弥留之际，医护人员拒绝为他清理身体，并将食物托盘放在门口以避免接触。在恐惧和哀悼的气氛中，亨德里克斯以一种近乎“狂热”的状态投入到活动主义中，他后来回忆道。即便退行性疾病摧毁了他的身体，亨德里克斯依然对当代酷儿生活中的议题保持警觉，担心针对跨性别者的攻击以及在加拿大对同性婚姻发起法律挑战的可能性。
亨德里克斯希望能够活得更久，以便看到由汉密尔顿（Mr. Hamilton）和勒博夫以及档案员西蒙娜·博德里-皮洛特（Simone Beaudry-Pilotte）策划的关于ACT UP America历史的博物馆展览，但他没能等到。他在7月18日接受医疗辅助死亡。
直到最后，亨德里克斯依然特立独行，他要求不举行纪念仪式。“他说，‘把我的遗体火化，让唐把它们装进盒子里扔进垃圾桶，’”勒克莱尔回忆道。
他留下了丈夫勒博夫。
他认为同性恋生活中的这种东西正在被重新认可，”汉密尔顿说。
许多人将婚姻视为一种保守的制度，认为它在同性恋生活中没有位置。ACT UP为艾滋病患者争取更好的救命药物等诉求而开展活动，并举行了壮观的示威活动，例如在市中心举行的大规模“模拟死亡”（die-in）抗议。

是否注射肉毒杆菌？随着美容手术变得更加普遍，六位50多岁的加拿大人分享了他们在皮肤护理上的花费及其原因，Ingrie Williams 报道
处于50多岁从未看起来如此美好。以德鲁·巴里摩尔（Drew Barrymore）、瑞基·马丁（Ricky Martin）、亚当·斯科特（Adam Scott）以及所有辣妹组合（Spice Girls）成员为例。他们做了多少美容手术尚有争议，但无论如何，他们的皮肤护理方案可能都伴随着一定的成本。消费者情报公司 NielsenIQ 发现，中年人群占据了全球美容产品和服务总支出的四分之一。其报告《X因素：X世代如何悄悄驱动数万亿消费支出》还预计，X世代的美容市场在未来五年将增长到目前的 1.3 倍，将额外捕捉 US$80-billion。但在嘈杂的美容领域，闪亮的新产品和尖端技术似乎在不停地推出，什么才值得投入？“没有捷径。健康的老龄皮肤并不是靠寻找一种奇迹面霜或一次奇迹手术，”
多伦多大学副教授、拥有二十多年经验的皮肤科医生 Kucy Pon 博士表示：“真正能随着时间推移产生最大影响的是你持之以恒地做的小事——每天涂防晒霜、使用基于证据的护肤品、选择能改善皮肤质量的治疗方案、锻炼并保持活力、充足睡眠以及关注整体健康。”
同样，Pon 博士表示，中年美容的讨论正从“抗衰老”的信息转向“长寿”和“优雅地老去”。她同时也是 Sunnybrook 健康科学中心美容皮肤科与激光手术方向的主任。“十到 15 年前，患者通常来找我是要求我消除某根特定的线条或淡化几处皱纹，”她说道。大多数 50 多岁的患者不再试图让自己看起来年轻 20 岁，也不希望看起来像经过“人工雕琢”。共同的目标是看起来健康且精神饱满。
针对这一年龄段的人群，多伦多皮肤科医生、DLK on Avenue 业主 Lisa Kellet 博士表示，皮肤紧致治疗很受欢迎。她指出，衰老是一个个人旅程，人们应该以自己的方式去经历。
“我非常主张先让皮肤健康起来。让我们清除任何癌前病变点——那些会影响你的寿命或生活质量的东西，”她说道。“这样做的好处是，健康的皮肤在美学上看起来会更好。”
至于花费多少，这取决于你个人。“投资于有强大科学证据支持的产品，而不是昂贵的包装或冗长的成分表，”Pon 博士说。两位医生都建议早晨使用维生素 C，晚上使用外用类 retinoid（视黄醇类药物）以提亮和抚平皮肤，减少黑斑并刺激胶原蛋白产生。并且始终使用 SPF 30 或更高的防晒霜。“如果你不打算保护你的皮肤，那么来这里开始做任何美容项目都没有意义，”Kellett 博士说。
在居家护理方面，加拿大统计局的最新数据显示，包括 40 至 54 岁人群在内的家庭在 2023 年在个人护理方面花费了 $2,467，而 55 至 64 岁人群花费了 $1,759, 较 2021, 分别增长了 32.6% 和 25.7%。这其中包含了护肤品支出的增加。

购物日记 一名自然疗法医生告诉 Daniel Reale-Chin，富含蔬菜、豆类和健康脂肪的饮食将有助于平衡肠道生态系统。
Jacqueline Cooper Lemmon 对一个生态系统感兴趣。它充满了数万亿个微生物，如细菌、真菌、原生动物和噬菌体。每种微生物执行不同的功能：她说道。有些发酵化合物，有些分解膳食纤维，有些则猎杀并摧毁细菌。它们共同构成了肠道微生物组，有助于我们的免疫系统发挥作用并预防
修复微生物组需要治疗性益生菌和健康饮食的结合，Cooper Lemmon 博士说。她目前担任 Nestlé Health Science（营养补充剂公司 Genestra Brands 的母公司）的医学事务经理。“这虽然不怎么吸引人，但简单、行之有效，”她说。

（此处可将其变成一份她第二天带到公司的快捷沙拉。）
autoim- “尽管如此，我们无法通过补充剂来抵消不健康的生活方式和饮食，”她说。
就在不到二十年前，当库珀·莱蒙（Cooper Lemmon）医生决定将研究方向从传统医学转向自然疗法医学时，人们感到很困惑：“在当时，人们根本不理解。”
在她作为自然疗法医生的职业生涯中，她见过许多肠道失衡的患者，这导致了包括湿疹和痤疮、腹胀和便秘，以及对乳糖等食物不耐受在内的症状。
在从加拿大自然疗法医学学院（Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine）毕业后，库珀·莱蒙医生开始从事私人执业。她说，当时许多人没有意识到不健康的肠道与皮肤状况之间的联系。因此，当患者因为痤疮等问题寻求治疗时，她的第一个问题——“你的排便情况如何？”——让许多人措手不及。
“帮助他们恢复皮肤健康的一个关键因素就是处理微生物组，也就是肠道，”她说。
如果她只能推荐一项改善肠道健康的饮食改变，那就是：关注多样性。
她指出，越来越多的数据和研究表明，每周食用 30 种不同植物的饮食有助于改善肠道健康。这些植物包括黑麦等谷物、豆类等荚果类植物、水果和蔬菜，以及香料，她说这些都计入多样性之中。
食用当季农产品是确保多样性的简单方法，她说。
在她自己的家中，她为四口之家采购食材——包括她的丈夫和两个暑假回家大学生的儿子——她储备优质全麦面包、新鲜农产品和蛋白质，以及干豆类，用于在肉类为主的餐食中增加植物蛋白。她家中的主食之一是塔可（tacos），配以牛肉末、煮黑豆以及炒洋葱和青椒。将这些食材铺在切碎的生菜上，搭配干豆类，并减少肉类分量。植物蛋白增加了纤维，有助于支持你的微生物组。
最难坚持的购物习惯：轮换和多样性。为了肠道健康，食用多种蔬菜和蛋白质至关重要，但经常更换种类可能很难。我正尝试发挥创意。
我最近如何改变饮食习惯：我尝试每天吃三顿营养均衡的餐食。现在流行高蛋白和纤维最大化（fibremaxxing）等趋势，但更多并不总是更好。你应该满足自己的需求，但要确保餐食均衡且每天三餐。充足的健康脂肪、蛋白质和纤维对你的微生物组和肠道比大量摄入其中某一项更重要。
我如何在买菜上挥霍：我挥霍在有机且无抗生素的肉类上，例如鸡肉。
我的购物车里有什么
蓝色玉米片 Grainfields – $5.99：这些玉米片是我的犒赏。我偶尔才吃一次，但它们比普通的土豆片或玉米片更健康。我把它们放在冷冻库里，以便随时取用。
牛油果 – 每个 $1.79：牛油果是健康脂肪和纤维的绝佳来源，很容易制成牛油果酱搭配玉米片食用。将它们加入奶昔中也能提供奶油般的质感。
特级初榨橄榄油 – Terra Delyssa – 1升 $16.99：我喜欢这款橄榄油，因为它是原生态的且味道极佳。我认为在饮食中增加健康脂肪的一个绝佳机会就是自制沙拉酱。我用红酒醋、橄榄油、盐、胡椒和一些像牛至这样的香料来调制。这能轻松做出高级的沙拉酱。
有机豆奶 – Earth’s Own Organic – $3.47：我很喜欢豆奶拿铁。我对乳制品有些不耐受，虽然现在身体已经变得更耐受了，但我通常的选择变成了豆奶。与杏仁奶或燕麦奶等其他奶类替代品相比，豆奶能提供更多的蛋白质。
黑麦酸种面包 – 含亚麻籽 – Neal Brothers – $8.75：酸种面包对肠道微生物群更有益，且消化时间更长，可以防止血糖激增。由于亚麻籽提供了额外的纤维，它更健康。这款面包是人们选择面包时的一个良好衡量标准：高纤维含量和优质蛋白质含量。Ace Bakery 的酸种面包也非常好。

值得品味的风味 这八款葡萄酒能为您八月的日子带来享受，无论您选择红葡萄酒还是桃红葡萄酒 CHRISTOPHER WATERS WATERS ON WINE
虽然更轻盈、更明亮的红葡萄酒继续增加受欢迎程度，尤其是在夏季，可冷藏的风格为桃红葡萄酒提供了更浓郁的替代方案，但市场对浓郁、大胆风味的需求依然存在。全体饱满的赤霞珠和丰盈的红葡萄酒混酿仍然是烧烤和其他丰盛正餐的首选风格。因此，在选择八月的葡萄酒时有两个考虑因素：既需要储备能带来清爽感的葡萄酒，也需要储备那些具有值得品味风味的葡萄酒。本周的推荐重点是我最喜欢的一些清新表达——2款白葡萄酒，以及一款来自西西里的桃红葡萄酒和可冷藏红葡萄酒，它们具有令人垂涎的吸引力；同时还有一些性价比更高、风味浓郁且大胆的浓缩红葡萄酒。来自法国南部的两款最新发布产品展现了以歌海娜为基础的混酿葡萄酒那强健、阳光烘烤的特质——以及极佳的性价比前景——其口感清新而非沉重。

在加拿大的东海岸，没有什么比新鲜捕获的鳕鱼更令人愉悦的了。加拿大名人主厨、烹饪及书籍作者 Bob Blumer（Food Network 节目《The Surreal Gourmet》和《Glutton for Punishment》的主持人）在夏天的一半时间里，在纽芬兰省克拉克斯海滩（Clar-ke’s Beach, N.L.）纽芬兰蒸馏厂（Newfoundland Distillery）的一个热门快闪店里供应热鳕鱼三明治。
“我最初创作这个三明治是对无处不在的纳什维尔热鸡肉三明治的改编，但经过几年的快闪店经营，它褪去了南方口音，找到了纽芬兰的灵魂，”他说。当地鳕鱼是他这款多汁三明治的主角，但他没有将其深炸，而是将鱼片在热锅中煎至表面焦脆，让其甜美细腻的风味得以绽放。
由于最好的三明治是由对比鲜明的风味和质感层层构建而成的，他用黄油和枫糖浆来中和辣酱，并用大蒜蛋黄酱为堆在柔软烤布里欧修面包上的脆芜菁沙拉和嫩鳕鱼提供浓郁且奶油般的衬底。“这款三明治采用了带有酸味、注入姜黄的盐水腌制，灵感来自纽芬兰传统的芥末腌菜，”Blumer 说。“这赋予了三明治无可替代的地域感。”
他分享了这个深受喜爱的食谱，以便全国的加拿大人可以在家中制作。
1 汤匙苹果醋 1 茶匙第戎芥末酱 ½ 茶匙姜黄 ¼ 茶匙芹菜籽 一小撮研磨丁香 一小撮研磨多香果 适量棕糖或枫糖浆（从一茶匙开始） 适量盐和胡椒 2 汤匙黄油 2 汤匙中性油（如菜籽油） 4 个布里欧修面包，对半切开 面包黄瓜腌菜
蛋黄酱（可选或使用市售蛋黄酱）： 3 瓣大蒜，切末 1 个蛋黄 1 茶匙第戎芥末酱 ½ 杯中性植物油（如菜籽油） 1 个柠檬皮屑 + 2 汤匙新鲜柠檬汁 1 ⁄8 茶匙盐
枫糖辣椒黄油酱：将所有成分放入小锅中混合并备用。
蛋黄酱制作方法：在一个大碗中，
[...OMITTED...]
将大蒜、蛋黄和第戎芥末酱混合。搅拌 30 秒。在搅拌的同时，缓慢地——每次从几滴开始——滴入油。在加入前几汤匙油后，稍微增加油流，继续滴入直到所有油都被吸收且酱汁变得像蛋黄酱一样浓稠。搅拌入柠檬皮屑、柠檬汁和盐。盖好并冷藏。
如果当地买不到鳕鱼，可以用黑线鳕、比目鱼、长鳕鱼、梭鱼或您最喜欢的白肉鱼代替。搭配面包黄油和您最喜欢的薯片食用——Blumer 使用的是新不伦瑞克省产的 Covered Bridge 品牌。
凉拌芜菁 (FOR THE SLAW)： 使用食品处理器、刨丝器或切片机将芜菁、胡萝卜、洋葱和卷心菜切丝。切碎欧芹。将所有食材放入碗中。将所有调料搅拌均匀，然后与凉拌菜混合。
食材 4 块 5 盎司的去皮鳕鱼柳（最好切自厚腰肉部分）
将枫糖辣椒黄油酱用小火加热，直到黄油融化。
枫糖辣椒黄油酱 (MAPLE-CHILI BUTTER SAUCE)： 4 汤匙黄油 ½ 汤匙辣酱（Tabasco, Louisiana, Frank’s） ½ 汤匙辣椒粉 1½ 汤匙枫糖浆 1 茶匙大蒜粉 ½ 茶匙芥末粉 1 茶匙烟熏红椒粉，或红椒粉 ¼ 茶匙现磨黑胡椒
在大型厚底锅中用中低火融化黄油，并将切面朝下的面包卷烤至金黄色。
用纸巾将鳕鱼柳拍干，撒上盐和胡椒调味。
将同一个锅加热至中高火。当锅开始冒烟时，加入油。数到五，然后放入鱼肉。将火调至中火，煎其中一面直到鱼柳几乎完全不透明（根据厚度约 4 分钟）。翻面再煎一分钟。

加拿大发明和命名食物的历史十分有趣。虽然人们无法准确指出披萨是如何以及何时由出生于希腊的加拿大籍查特汉特（Chatham, Ont.）居民萨姆·帕诺普洛斯（Sam Panoplos）发明的，但夏威夷披萨在披萨上放菠萝的做法自那时起就引发了披萨原教旨主义者的批评，但抛弃规则书为各种创新打开了大门，从寿司披萨（由多伦多现已关闭的 Nami 餐厅在安大略省发起）到蒙特利尔烟熏肉或坦都里奶酪（tandoori paneer）等配料。
一次又一次，这四家非连锁披萨店在建立社区意识的同时，激发了文化好奇心。Tony’s Donair 的共同经理利奥·萨卢姆（Leo Salloum）表示，他们的店铺在 50 年的经营过程中，“养育了许多家庭”。
DONAIR 披萨 尽管得名于此，但 现在被国际公认为哈利法克斯（Halifax）的官方食物。虽然该家族无法准确确定他们最初是如何以及何时尝试将 肉及其标志性的甜酱放入面团中，但萨卢姆解释说，这种尝试使得 pizza 融入了加拿大文化。
“我们倾听人们的需求，”他补充道，“如此独特的东西在我们的当地社区已经变得如此普遍。你在哈利法克斯得放一定量的奶酪，否则他们不会管它叫披萨，对吧？”
萨卢姆将功劳归于他的父亲，因为父亲在不偷工减料的情况下保持了简单和一致，同时也归功于那些帮助维持其家族企业的广大顾客。
LEVANT（非）披萨，多伦多 Levant 于 2021 年在多伦多的布鲁尔法院（Bloor Court）社区开业。在母亲去世后，联合创始人纳德尔·卡瓦斯米（Nader Qawasmi）花十年时间学习童年时期的巴勒斯坦食谱。
“我内心深处知道我会开一家餐厅，反映出我是谁，即一个在加拿大出生长大，但同时拥有巴勒斯坦身份的人，”卡瓦斯米说。
Levant 最受欢迎的披萨切片是叙利亚鸡肉沙瓦玛（搭配一种名为 toum 的大蒜酱、大量辛辣的芝麻酱和石榴糖浆）。“当人们品尝它时，他们体验到的是完全不同的东西，而且每次都非常享受。”
直到经营一年后，他们才开始尝试使用“非披萨”的称号。“我们知道我们在挑战两种文化的边界，”卡瓦斯米说，
不想——一个在加拿大出生长大，但同时也拥有巴勒斯坦身份的人，”Qawasmi说。
在承认文化传统的同时，也不想冒犯意大利人。Levant不断演变的菜单中加入了对黎凡特地区标志性扁面包mana’ish的致敬。菜单上堆满了中东风味。每一位写五星好评的顾客总是会说，“这不是典型的披萨”，这就像是一种警告。
Qawasmi和他的黎巴嫩商业伙伴Tamer Agha决定顺应这一身份。“我们为什么要尝试成为一个我们不是的样子？”
对于Qawasmi来说，食物提醒我们人类共有的纽带。“无论世界上的哪个地方，只要你能找到将它们联系在一起的共同线索，你就可以将任何菜肴联系起来——而这种联系也同样适用于人类。”
从“苏马克‘穆萨汉’”（Sumac ‘Musakhan’，是对巴勒斯坦深受喜爱的国民菜肴的改编，包含苏马克焦糖洋葱、七香油封鸡、腌酸菜和欧芹）到“热鲜拉布尼”（Hot & Fresh Labneh，包含烤番茄、扎塔尔、芝麻菜和芝麻酱），每一道菜都烘烤在极高、西西里风格的佛卡夏底盘上，该底盘经过冷发酵。

自2024年起，Steven Che与共同所有者Jan Natividad打造了一家披萨店，其酸面团底中加入了10%的深色黑麦面粉。
JUST PIZZA 温哥华
Steven Che共同创立Just Pizza的旅程始于在挪威的三星级餐厅Maaemo以及现已关闭的澳大利亚Restaurant Orana工作的经历。正是在奥斯陆著名的Ille Brod面包店工作期间，这位华裔加拿大籍厨师进入了酸面团的世界，并在他们的披萨快闪店中经常尝试各种有趣的配料。
自2024年起，他与菲律宾裔加拿大籍共同所有者Jan Natividad打造了一种不同类型的披萨店：在酸面团底中加入10%的深色黑麦面粉以增加风味，且配料反映了温哥华的文化多样性。
“当人们吃到我们的‘菲律宾早餐’披萨时，例如，你可以看到他们看到自己的文化被呈现后的自豪感和兴奋感，”Che微笑着说。
据共同所有者介绍，蜂蜜甜薯披萨在韩国人和非韩国人中都很受欢迎。
“这就像是在侧边，”Che说。
显然，共同所有者们在经营这个品牌时乐在其中。除了大胆的菜单外，每月一次的特色产品让团队能够尝试对他们有意义的风味组合。到目前为止，我们看到过从Alicia Lan的中国煲仔饭披萨（包含腌鸡肉、焖蘑菇、腊肠、甜酱油和爆米花）到主厨Ar Atqiaee的伊朗koobideh烤肉披萨（烟熏番茄酱，zeytoon parvardeh——配有核桃的腌橄榄，以及sumac洋葱）的所有尝试。
反应极其积极，尤其是在西海岸的菲律宾社区中。

护肤：对于这些加拿大人来说，他们在皮肤上的花费更多地与有关
接自 P1
Carlene Higgins，51岁 Breaking Beauty 播客共同主持人及 Cassatt Beauty 创始人
我一年在皮肤上花多少钱 我现在非常信赖激光治疗，每年大约花费 $4,000 进行两次季节性疗程。此外，我每年在护肤品上花费大约 $1,200 到 $1,500，购买的是药店基础款和奢华保湿产品的组合。我现在更了解我的皮肤需求，所以不会在比如我永远不会使用的眼霜上浪费钱。
我如何护理皮肤 我在 40 岁后期出现了围绝经期发作的玫瑰痤疮，伴有红肿、瘙痒，有时对紫外线敏感。建议我寻求激光治疗。我在春季和秋季进行治疗，每月间隔进行三到五次疗程。我在 Excel V+（针对毛细血管扩张）和 BroadBand Light（专注于色斑）之间交替使用。这确实缓解了我的红肿并刺激了胶原蛋白生成。我简直不敢相信现在的皮肤变得多么清透光滑。这彻底改变了局面。此前，我会进行少量的肉毒杆菌注射以达到提升眉毛的效果，但后来——并非因为肉毒杆菌——我开始出现上睑下垂，这是一种非常常见的与年龄相关的眼睑下垂。我做了眼睑成形术来矫正，费用大约 $10,000。
Adrian Carew，57岁 发型师及 Hair91 沙龙店主
我一年在皮肤上花多少钱 我使用 Bioderma Sensibio H2O 洁肤水，$26，以及 Clé de Peau 的精华水，$180。我从 20 岁出头起每天都使用防晒霜。花费不到 $200，因为没有什么是我每天必须做的。我拥有不错的基因。我使用 La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Fluid SPF 50+， $36，非常可靠。我几乎没有皱纹。人们不相信我的真实年龄。我还定期使用一种非常温和的类视黄醇——因为我无法耐受任何其他配方，所以我自己开发了一种。
我如何护理皮肤 我大约每周清洁一次面部。我使用一些 The Ordinary 的产品，包括 $26 的洁面乳、$25 的保湿霜和 $10 的甘醇酸爽肤水。但我并不经常使用它们。我的流程就是站在淋浴间里
我如何看待衰老 变灰（白发）是主要的变化。但我不是个老人。我依然带着

发油、视黄醇皮肤软膏，以及用清水洗脸。这就是我，以同样的方式，依然享受其中，这源于我多年从事采访的经历。在修剪胡须之前，我会用一款无名磨砂膏进行去角质，以去除汗毛。很多人一旦到了 50 岁就让自己颓废了。我没有。我每周去五次健身房，出门社交，享受生活。我对衰老的感觉很淡然。我很享受现在。我对皱纹持中立态度。它们并不困扰我；我觉得它们很有吸引力。我从未做过任何治疗。没有注射类产品，没有拉皮手术，什么都没有。
如何护理皮肤 57 仅仅是一个数字。步入这个十年，不过是向卓越迈进的又一块垫脚石。不要被灰色的胡须所迷惑。
所有照片由 ALVARO GOVEIA/ THE GLOBE AND MAIL 拍摄 Shari Koffman，57 岁 播音美容专家
在穿衣打扮方面，我热爱时尚，而皮肤科医生和美容师总是建议使用视黄醇。
我每年在皮肤护理上花多少钱 我每年在护肤产品上花费约 $2,000，在肉毒杆菌素和激光治疗上花费约 $5,000。我有一套早晚护肤流程，使用五到六款产品。其中几款来自药店，但大部分是在皮肤科医生或整形外科医生的诊所里才能找到的。我喜欢 SkinCeuticals 和 Alastin。我寻找那些有科学依据且有良好临床研究支持的产品。我想看到效果。
我是如何护理皮肤的：我早晨绝不会漏掉涂抹维生素C和防晒霜（SPF），而且无论多么疲惫，我晚上绝不会错过护肤流程。一年一次，我会针对色斑进行激光治疗，比如Halo或宽光谱光（BroadBand Light）。过去五年我一直在做激光治疗，以清除我在20岁中期在阳光下暴晒所造成的所有损伤。我在40多岁时尝试过强脉冲光（IPL）治疗，它能淡化斑点，但夏天一到，斑点就会回来。激光的效果似乎更好。我通常一年两次在额头、眉间纹和鱼尾纹处注射肉毒杆菌毒素（Botox）。现在我处于绝经后期，我会对颈纹和下颌线进行治疗，以起到一定的提升效果。我喜欢这个结果——但我不喜欢某些副作用。在颈部注射肉毒杆菌毒素后，如果我做仰卧起坐（我经常做），颈部会感觉有些沉重。这是一种权衡。大约两年前，我做了上睑成形术以修复上睑下垂。我还做了两轮眼下脂肪转移以修复凹陷。在40多岁时，我在眼下注射了一些填充剂，效果维持了好几年。当我进入绝经期时，出现了一些异常情况——填充剂开始移位，并且我出现了浮肿。
我对衰老的看法：自信是绝经期带来的最好的东西。我不担心看起来更年轻，但我关心在目前的人生阶段，如何让自己看起来处于最佳状态。

让自己看起来和感觉起来都处于最佳状态——以及一款优质的SPF防晒产品
Omita Mansur，59岁 退休财务经理
我一年在皮肤护理上花多少钱 在我的护肤流程中，我专注于四件事：清洁、保湿、去角质和防护。比起面霜，我更喜欢护肤油，过去十年我一直使用一款36美元的Mad Hippie面部护理油。过去几年我一直在使用SPF 40的防晒产品，在此之前的20多年里，我使用的是一款SPF值较低的面霜。我并不每天化妆，但如果要出门，我会使用一款含有SPF值的有色保湿霜。每隔几个月，我会使用一次过夜片状面膜。我一年大约花费600美元，这通常包括一次包含淋巴排毒和红光疗法的修复面部护理。
我如何护理皮肤 我觉得进入身体的东西，比如健康饮食，比表面的修复更重要。我对任何刺激性强的产品都很敏感，而且我没有做过任何注射。自愿把针头扎进脸上绝对不是我会做的事。我甚至不擅长涂指甲油，那让我觉得很闷。
我对衰老的看法 我不介意衰老。在生理上，显然有很多变化。我的肤色不再那么均匀，有了皱眉纹，眼睑下垂。但我觉得你的脸真实地反映了你所经历的生活。我经历过许多困难和美妙的事情，我很开心现在依然屹立在这里，感觉充满力量。我的母亲最近去世了。她是一个非常有精神的人，因为她的精神面貌，她看起来很年轻。我觉得这更重要。我皮肤上的褶皱和柔软取代了曾经紧致、坚实的皮肤，这是我对经历之证明。我觉得自己被“揉软”了。
Daisy Chew，54岁 Sutherland Models机构总监
我一年在皮肤上花多少钱，以便能更敏锐地察觉脸上的任何变化。我过去在护肤产品和面部护理上花费 $3,500 到 $5,000，然后我开始注意到脸颊上出现了深色斑点，于是我去看了一位皮肤科医生。幸好那只是老年斑。医生给我开了一堆产品。每三个月我会花费 $500, 但没看到太大变化。然后大约在 52 或 53 岁时，我开始注意到下颌下垂，但我还没准备好接受任何侵入性治疗。
今年早些时候在韩国旅行期间，我爱上了 K-beauty（韩式美容）。那里有这么多美容诊所——而且便宜得多，治疗也是非侵入性的。我找了一家有翻译的诊所；告诉他们我的预算是 $1,000 加元，而我最大的担忧是我不再有下颌线了。我做了两项疗程。一项是 Onda，他们将其描述为“微波效应”技术，听起来很恶心，但它可以燃烧脂肪细胞；另一项是 Titani-um Lifting，用于紧致。我特意买了一个额外的托运行李箱，带回了价值 $600 值得韩国美容产品。我不会告诉任何人，包括 20 岁时的自己，要涂好 SPF（防晒霜）并远离阳光。如果有东西打折，我就批量购买以节省资金。
迈克尔·德科特 (Michael DeCorte)，51 岁 瑜伽教练
我一年在皮肤上花多少钱 我致力于使用药店护肤产品，我的预算每年不超过 $500。
我对皮肤老化的看法 我意识到我的皮肤比我想象中要脆弱得多。当你开始考虑皮肤癌的可能性时，我们需要开始用不同的方式思考。
我如何护理皮肤 我过去并不太在意护肤；我只用多芬 (Dove) 肥皂。当我 50, 岁时，我的脸上长了带状疱疹。起初我以为是痤疮。它蔓延到我的眼睛，我的整个脸都起水疱了。从那天起，我意识到我需要一套日常护肤流程。我从 28. 岁起就开始这样做。现在，每次洗完澡我都会护理，一天可能两三次。我喜欢用有颗粒感的面部磨砂膏来去角质，比如圣伊夫 (St. Ives) 杏仁磨砂膏，$9. 我使用 $30 Neutrogena 保湿霜，并且一直使用眼霜。目前使用的是 Garnier 的一款保湿眼霜，有助于改善眼下暗沉，并且带有一个我很喜欢其触感的冷却滚珠。当它从 $30, 降价到 $18 时，我会买四五支。
在 39, 岁时，我开始注射肉毒杆菌毒素以消除深层的皱眉纹。它们让我看起来一直很愤怒且焦虑。起初我并不太喜欢结果——看起来不自然——但我和医生一起找到了适合我的方案。直到去年 9 月，我每四到六个月会注射一次，每次花费约 $600，以消除脸部中间的肌肉活动，但保持额头的灵活性。我们称之为“里斯·威瑟斯彭 (The Reese Witherspoon)”。我现在没有再次注射的欲望，因为那里现在的皮肤非常光滑，而且我不想再拨出这笔钱。

我对衰老的看法：能活到 50 岁是一份真正的礼物。作为一名年长的男同性恋者，我们没有很多长辈，因为前一代的许多人都死于艾滋病。成为年轻一代的榜样是我的荣幸，也是我的责任。我的座右铭是：“我很开心，我很健康，我很完整，我很充实。” 我现在的样子就已经足够好了——年满 50 岁让我感到自信了很多。阅读更多：生物年龄重要吗？见 P11 P8 / 《环球邮报》追求 / 2026年8月8日，星期六 捕捉那些在流行文化中无处不在的动作。在意大利世界中也是如此。我们想到 Giorgio
富有创造力的 Armani。我们会想到后现代家具。我认为除了典型的、俗套的加拿大风情（Canadiana）之外，我们并没有太多的国家认同感。因此在国际舞台上，人们很难将加拿大工匠及其设计与某种固有特质联系起来，认为这些设计本质上就是加拿大的。但从我的角度来看，我确实能观察到这一点。我观察来自加拿大和蒙特利尔的作品，看它们如何受到创作者成长环境的影响。
一个很好的例子就是蒙特利尔的 Igor Zigor。他是一位常驻蒙特利尔的设计师。他在框架和家具中使用的木材来自他家族的农场。他还用松脂制作雕塑。当你观察他的作品和材料时，这非常有加拿大特色，非常有魁北克特色。

购物指南 值得尝试的 6 件单品 旅行 投资于能从早到晚穿着，并能从夏季过渡到秋季天气的升级基础款必需品
男装部分 如何在下次出差或度假时兼顾高效与时尚，Truc Nguyen 为您报道
在为夏末的出差或假期打包行李时，不确定哪些单品在有限的行李空间中能发挥最大效用？我们询问了两名资深旅行者，他们每月至少出差一次，请他们分享在温暖和过渡季节的打包技巧。以下是他们在旅途中保持时尚且无需托运行李的一些必需品。
时尚造型师 Corey Ng 在打包时注重多样性。“我倾向于那些在一次旅行中可以在不同场合多次穿着的单品，”他说。他选择海军蓝、黑色和棕色等深色衣服，因为他发现这些颜色更容易搭配。但他也经常加入一条白色牛仔裤或彩色配饰，以增加对比度和视觉趣味。
Ng 打包的是“升级基础款”，例如一件更精致的 Polo 衫或针织 T 恤，可以从白天穿到晚上。“一件黑色针织 T 恤搭配黑色长裤——你看起来就已经更正式一些了，”Ng 说。他说，一件海军蓝的廓形波普林衬衫是另一个必备单品。“因为是波普林材质，它确实会起皱，但波普林衬衫的皱褶对我来说是可以接受的，不像亚麻那样。”
Maryam Siddiqi 是一位旅行作家，曾任《环球邮报》的生活方式编辑，她也有同样的感觉。“亚麻是我的敌人，因为它太容易起皱了，”这位城市文化时事通讯 Property of Toronto 的创作者说道。她总是携带一件经典白色纽扣衬衫，采用轻质棉布或波普林面料，她说这些面料“不会起那么多皱，更能保持形状”。Siddiqi 在炎热天气更倾向于“轻盈、飘逸的叠穿”，并偏好多功能单品。她目前的必备清单包括一件中长款黑色丝绸衬衫裙，既容易穿出正式感，也可以搭配牛仔夹克以适应更非正式的

酒店评论 高耸之姿 安·惠（Ann Hui）撰文：安大略省的一家树顶酒店将奢华舒适带入森林
Hartwood 仅由三栋树屋组成，是一家隐藏在安大略省米登（Minden）附近 15 英亩森林顶篷中的新酒店。
但它们不仅仅在名称上是树屋。这里的每栋房屋都直接构建在活的糖枫树干中。每座玻璃与木材构成的方盒漂浮在 30 英尺的高空，由树木支撑并被树木环绕。
酒店还提供客房内按摩服务（需额外付费）。
这家酒店在今年年初开业，由 Lauren 和 Cam Green 共同创立。Cam 少年时代在附近的巴尔湖（Ball Lake）度暑假时经常搭建树屋。但与他年轻时的木棚不同，Hartwood 的每栋树屋都具备所有现代化设施。

因此在我的第二个下午，我预约了来自安大略省米登的按摩师 Lesley MacGregor 来我的树屋服务。在她的出色按摩和绝美背景之间，这是最完美的
我发现自己就这样盯着窗外看了好几个小时，注意到一切。桦树的摇曳。风的声音。
我发现自己蜷缩在舒适的羊驼绒枕头上，手里拿着书。那是一本备受关注的新回忆录，但快两个小时后，我才读到第 25. 页。
我发现自己被森林景色深深地吸引了。有一次，我心想：“那是怎么的声音？”，随后才意识到，那是周围森林的寂静。
酒店客厅的大部分墙壁由玻璃组成，提供了森林的全景视野。人们无法将视线移开。无论你坐在哪里，无论你在做什么，树木都在那里，为了吸引你的注意力而精心装扮。
花一个下午的时间。
在欧洲，已经有一些豪华树屋酒店（最著名的是瑞典的 Tree Hotel 和芬兰的 Arctic Treehouse Hotel）。但在加拿大，现有的少数几家树屋酒店更偏向于乡村风格。直到现在，加拿大才出现了如此奢华的树屋。在多伦多 ksa 建筑工作室的帮助下，他们于 2024 年夏天开始建造 Hartwood，并在去年年底完成了树屋和中央空间的建设。
Hartwood 的重点在于森林。这就是它的全部意义所在。它有时被称为“景观酒店”，是指一个能够适应并与周围环境无缝融合的地方。
十年前，Greens 参加了在佛蒙特州举办的一次树屋建造研讨会。这立刻让 Cam 想起了他的童年。“一旦我知道这是一个可以尝试的事情，我就觉得我们可以实现它，但要以一种高度设计感、高度建筑感的方式来实现，”他说道。
2019 年，他们在 Minden 附近建造了 Baltic，这是一个拥有公寓般舒适感的树屋。他们开始将其出租，从此预订一直爆满。
几年后，他们在 Minden 以南约 15 分钟、位于 Haliburton Highlands、距离 Baltic 30 分钟车程且毗邻 500 英亩自然保护区 Dahl Forest 的地方，发现了一块 15 英亩的物业。这里距离多伦多约 2.5 小时车程。Hartwood 共有三栋树屋，每晚起价 $595。
在抵达 001 号树屋（一个宽敞的双卧室空间，面积超过 800 平方英尺）后不久，我就在壁炉旁的下沉式客厅里安顿了下来。我原计划阅读，但由于某种原因，我必须出去走走。
在一次漫步中，一只小鸟——也许是一只麻雀——飞到了一棵树附近，我如此吃惊，以至于大声地对自己说：“噢，哇，一只鸟。”
“我们希望人们到达这里后，能立刻感觉到压力减轻了，”Lauren 说道。“我们希望人们能重新接轨现实。”
在第一整天结束后的床上，我意识到，很久以来，我第一次在睡觉时大脑没有处于迷雾之中。我不再仅仅是陷入一种精疲力竭的模糊状态。相反，我的思维感到异常清晰。而那一刻的清晰，是我将一次又一次回味的。这里没有任何干扰。没有汽车鸣笛，没有街道上的嘈杂声。墙上没有屏幕，柜台上也没有平板电脑。为了娱乐，每个单元仅配备了一个壁炉和一个唱片机。重点在于活在当下。
既然身处森林之中，为什么要离开？
在我的第一个下午，我绕着物业周围徒步旅行。我闻到了湿木头的味道，感受到了叶子沙沙作响的声音。
在 Hartwood，你可以在一个像高级酒店那样拥有特大号床、豪华毛巾和雨淋花洒的地方享受舒适。
那个公共区域 Hydda 设有咖啡馆和葡萄酒吧。他们提供小吃，并举办由客座厨师参与的一次性晚餐活动。但这并不是一家全服务餐厅。相反，每栋树屋都配备了一个完整的厨房。作为额外费用，客人可以选择预制餐包，并被鼓励尝试在户外火坑上烹饪。
但为了真正放松，我更希望不需要烹饪。如果能有更广泛的餐饮选择——无论是全服务餐厅还是其他外送选项——会更理想。

从眼科医生那里看到的机器——她问我是否想要测试我的皮肤年龄。我看着那台机器，想到了我用来洗脸的条状肥皂，以及左鼻孔上方反复出现的一颗粉刺。皮肤的生物年龄……天哪，这是我现在需要关心的事情吗？
在我担任健康记者期间，我做过三次生物年龄测试。每次的结果大致相同，但随之而来的建议却大相径庭，这取决于提供反馈的人。我咨询的一位医疗专业人员在进行全面体检时指出，服用一些维生素D补充剂可能会提高我的能量水平。另一位则建议我尝试睾酮替代疗法，以获得更好的数值。与此同时，复杂的图表列出了各种生物标志物，用这些调节因子来计算生物年龄。
许多健身设备也向用户提供生物年龄（通常被称为健身年龄），这些设备通常基于心率变异性和睡眠追踪。这些测试的准确性差异很大。
你应该做生物年龄测试吗？
生物年龄测试可以提供关于你整体健康状况的大致概念。至于是否应该高度重视这个数字，则尚有争议。
直到最近，科学家还没有足够的测试手段或数据来确定一个人的生物年龄。
我们的年岁（chronological age）是指我们生存的年数。生物年龄是对你的细胞、组织和器官系统老化快慢的估计。
生物年龄是衡量你的细胞、组织和器官系统老化快慢的指标，Graham Isador 报道。
我首次接触这个概念是在 2020 年底，当时我为了写一篇文章而进行了一次全面的血液检查。
我们可以非常精确地测量年岁，然后将这些信息编码进生物年龄——这在现实生活中已成为可能。真人秀中的卡戴珊家族成员做过生物年龄测试，结果显示她比实际年龄年轻一岁——该测试使用了面部照片和一份数字问卷。
该领域有几代“时钟”。第一代时钟基于年岁进行训练。第二代时钟基于死亡率和健康指标进行训练。第三代时钟旨在检测表观遗传年龄的变化，而非当前的表观遗传年龄。其他生物年龄测试则使用不同的方法来确定。
在尝试评估生物年龄对健康意味着什么时，重要的是要记住，许多提供这些测试的公司正试图向你推销某种产品。而且——虽然长寿领域已取得显著进展——目前许多专家仍对在个人层面签署认可这些测试持谨慎态度。
“生物年龄基本上就是你的身体实际上可能比你的年岁更年轻或更年老的一种想法，”UBC 埃德温·S.H. 梁中心（Edwin S.H. Leong Centre）健康老龄化主任 Michael Kober 博士表示。
如何确定生物年龄？
生物年龄测试的费用从 $120 到 $600 或更高不等。
流行歌手 Katy Perry 最近发布了一张与男友 Justin Trudeau 展示两人生物年龄得分的照片，该得分是通过将相关数据与大规模人群研究的平均值进行比较而确定的。
对生物年龄测试有哪些批评？
“看看你的生物年龄
指出，公司在挖掘他们的分数。遗传在我们的生物年龄、生活方式以及环境因素中起着巨大作用。
虽然这个概念自60年代后期起就已存在，但直到最近，科学家们才拥有能够确定一个人生物年龄的测试或数据。2013, 教授Steve Horvath提出了基于DNA甲基化概念的表观遗传时钟的想法。在名为《人类组织和细胞类型的DNA甲基化年龄》的论文中，他证明了DNA甲基化可以预测年龄。这是该领域的一次重大突破，也是健康研究的一次巨大飞跃。

“你认为基因就像一个灯泡……而DNA甲基化的作用基本上就像是一个调光开关，用来设置那个灯泡，”Kober博士说。“如果你观察一个新生儿，他们的调光设置将与 [...OMITTED...]
然而，尽管长寿科学及其研究应用取得了重大进展，但关于生物年龄呈现方式的批评依然很多，就像我们对待其他健康测试那样。
“我们距离真正将其作为健康结果的个体预测指标还很遥远……[这些测试]目前仍带有一定的娱乐性质，而非真正的预测性和严谨的科学性，”Chin博士说。“我认为有一天我们会真正拥有标准化的器官年龄，例如大脑健康、肠道微生物群、皮肤护理等。”
第一个生物年龄测试是基于血液生物标志物面板给出的。暂时升高的压力水平、睡眠不足，甚至是一次持久的感冒或最近的一餐都可能影响你的分数。由于存在如此多的变量，精准度可能是一个问题。
当你看到一个数字时，你并不会得到很多可靠的信息。

你的生日不愿承认你的最初想法可能是错误的，但现在看来，你没有逻辑可以解释的选择。在接下来的一年里，你会发现自己开始相信一些奇怪的想法。当其他人的思维还停留在过去时，你的大脑将创造出一个全新的、更美好的现实。
射手座 11月23日 – 12月21日 你做了一个选择且结果证明它是错误的，这并不意味着你的下一个选择也会出错。相反，作为一个能从错误中学习的人，你的下一步行动很可能是精彩的。今天就采取行动吧。
白羊座 3月21日 – 4月20日 只要你认真对待目前正在从事的工作，那些陷入僵局的项目在这个周末可能会焕发新生，因为水星带来了新想法并开辟了新的创意途径。
狮子座 7月24日 – 8月23日 你不需要回到原点；只需从你现在所处的位置再次尝试即可。
摩羯座 12月22日 – 1月20日 你生活中任何在今天看来不合理的事情，明天都会开始变得合理，而到了下周，你将完全理解其中的每一个细节。然后你就可以发出自己的声音，让其他人知道这个秘密。
金牛座 4月21日 – 5月21日 仅仅因为你在一个方向上的努力没有取得成效，并不意味着你应该停止在其他方向上的尝试。行星显示，如果你允许直觉引导你，那么在接下来的48小时内，一些非凡的事情将会发生。无论“真相”是什么，考虑替代方案会对你有利，因为答案就在那里。
水瓶座 1月21日 – 2月19日 一个人越是试图说服你他们知道自己在说什么，你就越倾向于不相信他们，而且这是正确的。你的头脑太敏锐，不会如此轻易地被愚弄，因此在这个周末的每一刻都要坚持真相。
处女座 8月24日 – 9月23日 你可能比起观点更偏好事实，比起直觉更偏好理性，但在接下来的几天里，这种关系将会改变。水星在本周末进入你星盘的伴侣区域，将帮助你理解竞争对手的心理。最重要的是，它将让你明白，你们的观点其实并没有那么遥远。也许你们甚至可以成为朋友。
双子座 5月22日 – 6月21日 你从未害怕冒险，随着你的主宰星水星在本周末进入你星盘中较好的区域，你将活跃在世界上，促成事情的发生。
天秤座 9月24日 – 10月23日 尽管如此，这个周末尽管去触怒一些人，即使这意味着一些长期的友谊会被影响。
双鱼座 2月20日 – 3月20日 你想到的一些想法
面临风险。尽管在接下来的几天里，你可能会表现出一种卓越的 能力，能够专注于真实的事物，而他人似乎无法进行理性思考。如果一个想法行得通，那么它一定是个好主意。
在本周末与雇主和其他重要人士交谈时，你需要小心。如果你给他们的印象是你不够实际，那么 可能会让你处于不利地位。
巨蟹座 6月22日 – 7月23日 你的计划真的可行吗？
天蝎座 10月24日 – 11月22日 在 sallybrompton.com 进一步探索自我。
史蒂夫·贝克（STEVE BECKER）的桥牌之桥 2026年8月8日，星期六
除非成功的概率至少是 2-to-1，否则不应尝试大满贯。这些概率源自于将大满贯可能获得的收益——根据脆弱性的不同，大约 500 或 750 分——与可能损失的收益进行比较——大约 1,000 或 1,500 分。因此，叫一个依赖于翻牌的大满贯——机会是 50-50——从长远来看是一项亏本买卖。玩家无法始终预知大满贯是否依赖于此。
在本例中，南家在没有黑桃K的情况下，决定无论如何叫到7。他认为即使没有黑桃K，可能仍有其他机会赢得13墩，因为黑桃翻牌仍可作为最后手段。南家对前景的评估是正确的。通过利用假人手中的心形长套和三个梅花进入点，宣言者在赢得方块首攻后，出梅花5到J，随后出心A-K，弃掉两张黑桃，然后用10.心形跟出。当两名对手都跟到三次心形领出时，大满贯变得确定无疑。宣言者接着出梅花6到9，并用。
叫牌过程： 南 西 北 东 1 [C] 过 2 [H] 过 3 [C] 3 [H] 3 [S] 5 [C] 7 [C]
首攻 —— 方块Q。 假人仍持有2张心形。梅花3随后被领向假人的4，两张心形被收回，提供了两次额外的黑桃弃牌，大满贯顺利完成。

本周末观看指南 关注 Crave 的本土真人秀，以及由加拿大广播公司（CBC）引进的英国版《白莲花度假村》 J. KELLY NESTRUCK 电视评论员
《阳光下的诱惑》（Temptations Under the Sun） CRAVE 那些喜欢看点“垃圾电视”的人终于可以观看一部纯正加拿大制作的、大胆的英语约会竞争节目了。这部新真人秀将从8月7日开始，每周五发布两集。该节目基于 Julie Snyder’s Productions J 运营的受欢迎的魁北克特许经营品牌，《阳光下的诱惑》让 17 名衣着清凉的加拿大人聚集在塞浦路斯，玩一场本质上为期 10 集的“转瓶子”游戏。来自拉瓦尔的 Jenny——一位法语真人秀资深人士——已经跨界到了英语版本，布景也是如此。但我最喜欢的参赛者是来自温尼伯的 Alexus，她对自己以及在节目中被作家 Catherine Shep 视为可疑的过度露骨行为有着一种极具吸引力的幽默感。
（从左上角起顺时针方向：英语版《阳光下的诱惑》在 Crave 首播。Eve Myles 在《消失》（Gone）中调查一起失踪案。《先吃》（First We Eat）讲述了 Suzanne Crocker 及其家人的极端饮食法。Jay McCarrol（左）和 Matt Johnson 主演《涅槃乐队秀》（Nirvanna the Band the Show）。）
原定于冬季首播，《阳光下的诱惑》现在填补了由《爱之岛》（Love Island）完结后留下的夏末空白。我之前一直渴望追看这部基于 Vice 纪录片系列的剧集，但由于其两季在 Crave 上的流媒体状态长期不明，我无法在撰写本专栏前提前观看。Bell Media 的执行主管 Carlyn Klebuc 向我保证，并没有像最近一季《单身女主角》（Bachelorette）那样出现未播出的场景丑闻：“从创作上讲，我们只是需要更多时间处理它。”
相反，我受到了观看《先吃》（First We Eat）的启发，这是一部 2020 年的纪录片，于 8月7日 在 TVO 的数字平台发布，并于 8月9日 东部时间晚上 9 点在 TVO 播出。Barry Hertz 写道，该节目讲述了电影制作人 Suzanne Crocker 尝试的一种极端饮食法，试图喂养她的孩子。Morgan Spurlock 的类似作品《超级尺寸我》（Super Size Me）早在 22 年前就足以让我远离快餐。但我这次被启发去观看，是因为她尝试的是一种 28 天的炸鸡饮食法。
Crave 目前有更高级的加拿大真人秀可看——《极速前进加拿大》（The Amazing Race Canada）是我们全家的最爱，而《加拿大拖王》（Canada’s Drag Race）的第一季全明星赛——但这两者都基于美国模式。
好消息：截至 8月7日，《涅槃乐队秀》（Nirvanna the Band the Show）已在 Disney+ 上线。该剧由 Matt Johnson 和 Jay McCarrol 主演，他们扮演的是自己的喜剧版本，通过构思离奇的计划来争取在 Rivoli 为他们的虚构乐队 Nirvanna 获得演出机会。
而在《消失》（Gone）中，核心角色 Zoe（Jessica Raine 饰，表现得非常不安）竭尽全力负担与朋友们的旅行，并希望在希腊岛上度过的两周时间能有所帮助。她的丈夫 Dan（Damien Molony 饰）则试图摆脱严重的抑郁情绪。这部剧是一部慢节奏的犯罪剧，随着调查转向他的妻子失踪，而他却在调查期间继续工作并执教学校的橄榄球队。
这确实做到了——但直到侦探 Annie Cassidy（Eve Myles 饰）在得知他的妻子失踪被报案后睁大眼睛，对他对工作的古怪痴迷感到震惊。

2021年9月11日，多伦多国际电影节在安大略湖畔拍摄了最具代表性的红地毯照片。就在那座庞大且生锈的安大略 Cinesphere 影院的阴影下，导演丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦（Denis Villeneuve）和主演丽贝卡·弗格森（Rebecca Ferguson）在《沙丘》（Dune: Part One）的 Imax 首映礼前摆好姿势。好莱坞皇室的华丽与省政府基础设施的衰败形成鲜明对比——这让人想起维伦纽瓦在《银翼杀手 2049》中直接呈现的后末日场景——而这一切的背景则是电影节在疫情期间战战兢兢地以混合模式运行。这构成了一张令人难忘的快照，记录了本土创新、机构忽视以及对更光明未来的焦虑希望。
[...OMITTED...] 1971年建设期间的安大略广场（Ontario Place）游乐园中，一座 60英尺乘 80英尺的 Imax 弧形电影屏幕所示。Cinesphere 于 1971 年开业，是全球首家永久性 电影院，于 2022年进行了最后一次放映。詹姆斯·刘昆（JAMES LEWCUN） / 《环球邮报》
大约一年后，在 2022年10月16日， 进行了最后一次放映。此后，该空间一直处于空置状态，因为安大略省省长道格·福特（Doug Ford）正笨拙地尝试重新开发球形影院所在的安大略广场滨水区综合体。
但在最新的安大略省政府更新消息中，由于备受争议的安大略广场重新开发项目仍在拖延， 将至少关闭至 2029年。这包括最新的计划，旨在维持一个“全新的最先进安大略科学中心设施”，其中翻修 的成本为 $1.04-billion。
（之前的安大略科学中心包含 Omnimax 剧场，但该场馆的 节目仅限于纪录片，且该礼堂现已永久关闭。）
当然， 确实需要升级。除了其肮脏的外观外，座位拥挤且设施匮乏。
而且这并不是该场馆第一次空置。在省政府关闭安大略广场的大部分区域后， 在 2012年一直处于休眠状态，直到 2017年 TIFF（多伦多国际电影节）使用该场馆为诺兰的第二次世界大战电影《敦刻尔克》（Dunkirk）举行了一次性放映。不久之后，该场馆开始提供好莱坞电影的每周放映，这缓解了当地影迷对五年关闭期的不满。
在加拿大，有八家电影院配备了播放 70mm 片源的能力。但纪录片正是因此，一个好的 70mm 屏幕确实应该有九个，因为 同时拥有 70mm 投影系统和 数字激光配置。更糟糕的是，根据安大略省基础设施部的最新发言人称，维修将集中在将场馆“恢复到原始外观”，包括更换“损坏的外屋顶面板、照明和

leneuve, Ryan Coogler, Damien Chazelle, Greta Gerwig —— 全都是 Imax 的拥趸。Imax 规模的观影体验正随着时间的推移而变得日益普及。
在某种程度上，Cinesphere 的问题并非 的问题，而是一个由安大略省政府制造的问题。
需要明确的是：Cinesphere 既不由该技术公司运营，也不由其管理。相反， 的商标品牌、技术和设备（包括投影仪、音响系统的维护等）是授权给拥有该场馆的展商使用的，即由省政府控制的安大略广场公司（Ontario Place Corporation）。至于该建筑外观和内部的重新开发，建议是在工程完成后再重新开放，而工程预计在 2023 年底左右完成。随后，皇后公园（Queen's Park）突然在 6 月关闭了位于市西北端的原科学中心，原因是担心其屋顶的安全问题。
然而，现在已经是 2026 年的夏天，而这座曾经的加拿大观影瑰宝依然处于关闭状态。正当全国各地的观众比以往任何时候都更渴望 屏幕时——这要归功于克里斯托弗·诺兰（Christopher Nolan）的《奥德赛》（The Odyssey）所取得的惊人成功。
作为第一部完全使用 摄影机拍摄的长篇电影，《奥德赛》必须在真正的 屏幕上观看，且最好是能够播放 70mm 胶片的屏幕，因为这是该电影的原生格式。问题在于，全球只有 41 家电影院具备这种能力，这导致这些影院的场次全天候售罄，以展示 技术的动态视觉威力。 技术是由加拿大人 Graeme Ferguson, Robert Kerr, William Shaw 和 Roman Kroitor 发明的。
但在安大略省，观影者只能盯着日历，经历我们自己的“奥德赛”。环球影业（Universal Pictures）制作并发行了诺兰过去的电影，最近为一部未命名电影预留了 2029 年 7 月 20 日的院线发行日期。这极有可能是该导演的下一个项目。到那时 能开业吗？只有神知道。
对于 而言，它是 复兴的零点，正处于积灰状态，而世界其他地方正以史无前例的热情拥抱这项技术。但即便是在好莱坞中心，历史悠久的 Cinerama Dome 的所有者让其大门从疫情开始一直关闭到上个月——这一臭名昭著的僵局，简直是国家之耻。不过，该僵局最终得到了解决，Alamo Drafthouse Cinema 宣布将在接下来的 1 年半内租赁、修复并重新开放该场馆。
因此，对于 的现状感到沮丧甚至愤怒，有充分的理由。对环境影响、基础设施影响和经济可持续性的紧迫担忧，使得皇后公园对该区域计划的大部分要求都合理。
但对于加拿大的观影者，或任何重视该媒介艺术与创新的人来说， 的形态尤其令人尴尬。这座 19 米高的 旨在展示 技术的威力。
由于《奥德赛》的成功，许多影院被迫将其一直放映到 9 月中旬——这对于当代商业大片来说是前所未有的长线放映。

视觉艺术
这座城市正处于一项为期 10 年的公共艺术战略计划之中，正试图让更多作品进入服务不足的偏远社区——而 Ookwemin Minising，由于其首批住房在 2030 年代初之前不会完工，无疑处于偏远地带。
一群色彩斑斓的织物鱼在旗杆顶端随风飘扬，俯瞰着唐河口。这些风筝受日本庆祝儿童节的鲤鱼旗（koinobori）启发，风向袋呈现出新颖的图案，包括直接印在鱼身上的更多鱼类图像。在多伦多东岸的 Biidaasige 公园，这些飘带庆祝鱼类回归到自然恢复的河口。该项目与拥有公园的市政府以及负责景观设计的 Waterfront Toronto 进行了广泛合作，但其独立于官僚机构的身份可能使其能够专注于愿景。
虽然这些由防撕裂布制成的鱼形飘带可能不得不被拆除以应对冬季强风，但大多数雕塑都采用了能够抵御天气且由“牺牲层”保护免受外围涂鸦影响的结构，必要时可以将其清理掉。工作人员每天检查艺术品，并会清理雕塑上的积雪，尽管公园的部分区域在冬季不提供维护。
但事实上，Lassonde 艺术步道独立于城市的公共艺术计划。该步道是该场地最初的 Waterfront Toronto 计划的一部分，当慈善家 Pierre Lassonde 访问此处时，他对这个想法印象深刻，捐赠了 $25-million。这使得艺术步道成为了一个独立的慈善组织。
在 Commissioners 街上，儿童步道以古巴艺术家 Alexandre Arrechea 的《Orange Functional》开篇，其特点是将多个功能性篮球筐排列成树状形式。新步道在其西端以美国艺术家 Hank Willis Thomas 的两件作品结束，作品中包含一个粉色对话气泡和一个橙色思考气泡，大到你可以走进其中，以多伦多天际线为背景拍摄自拍。
策展人 November Paynter 挑选了将在 9 月前完成步道首轮迭代的 14 件作品，希望潜在的破坏者会被这里的氛围所震慑，因为艺术品与广泛的植被和重新建立鸟类栖息地的恢复湿地融为一体。
另一方面，在这种环境下，复杂的或严肃的表达可能很难实现，因为幽默可能会产生一种风险：即产生那些在社交媒体上看起来很棒，但缺乏深度的单句笑话或机智的视觉噱头。
如果你阅读附近的标识，你会了解到多伦多艺术家 Alexa Kumiko Hatanaka 将这些飘带基于两种当地物种：梭鱼（pickerel）和太阳鱼（pumpkinseed）设计。其中一件作品已经出现了礼貌的警告标志：“请帮助保护这
已经回到了唐河（the Don），以及入侵性的鲤鱼。当飞机从机场飞过头顶时，你可能会想到橙色的安全风向袋，从而想起港口区（Port Lands）与运输和工业的联系。或者，在风大的日子里，你只需享受那欢快的律动。
这就是成功的公共艺术。它具有高度的可视性，但并不突兀，既呼应了其环境，又在观众选择的任何参与程度上与观众相遇。户外公共艺术可能是一项艰巨的任务——最好的结果是被忽视，最坏的结果是被诋毁。在某个夏天，有人决定在市中心散布52尊卡通海狸雕像以纪念世界杯，在这种情况下，你可能会原谅人们怀疑多伦多是否能将其做好。
进入拉斯桑德艺术步道（Lassonde Art Trail），这是该市对纽约高线公园（High Line）或伦敦东区高线公园（The Line）的回应。它是一个经过策划的当代艺术汇编，包含约两打作品。
拉斯桑德艺术步道免费开放，且全天候（24 / 7）开放。
步道被布置成一种户外画廊，其中一些作品是为公园定制的永久安装件：克里族（Cree）艺术家肯特·蒙克曼（Kent Monkman）关于原住民存在与场所的作品《殖民地》（The Colony）将于9月揭幕，随后在2027年将展出葡萄牙艺术家若安娜·瓦斯孔塞洛斯（Joana Vasconcelos）的一棵巨大的陶瓷树。其他作品则是可移动的，将临时展出：莫尼拉·阿尔-卡迪里（Monira Al Qadiri）的《第一太阳》（First Sun），一个拥有巨大圣甲虫面孔的超大人类头部，今年夏天曾在纽约中央公园展出，也将抵达此处。
此外，由多伦多艺术家纳迪亚·贝勒里克（Nadia Belerique）和托尼·罗马诺（Tony Romano）创作的《归巢》（Homing）——一个形状像某种幻想生物的三层铝制桌子——可能会吸引所有路人的注意。
与此同时，该步道还部署了一系列令人印象深刻的艺术品，既有新委约作品，也有借展作品。这些艺术品必须与巨大的工业景观竞争，例如：作为地标修复的270吨退役阿特拉斯起重机，它本身就像一座高40米的雄伟雕塑。
与其追求宏大，拉斯桑德艺术步道通过较小的陈述和隐藏的宝藏，以俏皮取代了纪念碑式的庄重。
其中一件作品是英国艺术家瑞安·甘德（Ryan Gander）的《遗物故事》（Stories of Relics），这是一组四件亮黄色金属雕塑，代表着计时器：一支蜡烛、一个沙漏、一个闹钟和一个数字时钟。这些作品固定在岩石上，但体积小到看起来像是可以随意移动的。它们因其巧妙的构思而值得一定的尊重，因为它们通过对时间和历史的思考与观众相遇，提供了一种宁静的体验。
在场地的最东端，由卡罗琳·蒙内（Caroline Monnet）和迪安·鲍德温-刘（Dean Baldwin Lew）创作的《Trajet》是一件青铜铸造的足迹作品，由当代原住民提供，设置在岸边，作为数千年来该地原住民存在的标记。（其灵感来自1908年水利工程施工期间在安大略湖底粘土中发现的古代足迹草图。）
微妙地融入其特殊环境之中，这件作品有时会被退潮的水面揭示，有时又被洪水半掩，这件令人心酸的作品轻轻地召唤着那些愿意为此行走的人。
这里有幽默和奇思妙想，而这些正是公共艺术的聪明品质。同样，一件借自多伦多市公共艺术收藏并重新安装在现场的作品也同样出色：Biidaasige。它由7个部分组成，提醒人们在周围保持尊重。不要攀爬它。
在这种环境下，观众的注意力可能会被完全分散：一名骑行者疾驰而过；一个家庭悠闲地散步。
全年开放。它始于多伦多 Commissioners St. 30, 39 号的 Old Firehall works，这里由国际和加拿大艺术家创作的各种奇特物品——盘子、食物、填充动物——点缀在 Biidaasige 之中，通过这些物品，作品达到了其效果。雕塑的安置地点位于 Ookwemin Minising 市立公园，该公园是作为 Water- 岛的一部分而创建的，可从标识牌处下载地图。这些地点设有永久性的混凝土基座和地下基础设施，以便能够更换新的艺术品。这条步道全长约四公里，走完需要一到两个小时。

策展与保护的挑战 加拿大画廊和博物馆在降低能源使用方面正面临困难 LANA HALL
博物馆不仅承担着策展和展示艺术品与文物的任务，还负责运输和保护它们——这项工作带来了显著的环境影响。
根据英国非营利组织 Julie’s Bicycle 的一份报告，2021年全球艺术界的碳足迹相当于 7000 万 吨二氧化碳当量。
近年来，关于气候影响的讨论也转向了
“我们实际上是在疫情期间学到这些教训的：有些工作可以虚拟完成，但这样做也有可持续发展的好处，”该画廊的临时联合首席执行官兼特聘策展人 Eva Respini 表示。
Respini 希望画廊最终能够聘请一名全职的可持续发展战略师，效仿洛杉矶当代艺术博物馆等其他机构。
西部大学的 Robertson 表示，总体而言，该行业在对抗气候变化的斗争中虽然缓慢但稳步地取得进展——她希望这种情况能够持续。“五六年前，博物馆领域根本没有人讨论可持续发展，”她说，“而现在，很多人正在尝试不同的方法。”
Robertson 认为，该行业在更新运营和
能源使用和温室气体设施。对于较小的文化机构而言，文化建筑本身产生了约 80% 的排放。建筑整体占加拿大温室气体排放量的 18%，使其成为继石油、天然气和交通之后，该国第三大碳排放源。在此背景下，加拿
《气候变化世纪的艺术：未来地理》（Future Geographies: Art in the Century of Climate Change）目前在温哥华美术馆展出，该馆采用了几项可持续试点计划，馆方希望将其永久化。伊恩·勒费弗尔（IAN LEFEBVRE），温哥华美术馆
根据这些指南， 绿色协议（Green Protocol）。在该协议的指导下，美术馆一直在逐步扩大降低建筑碳足迹的解决方案范围。这包括更换天然气为地热或电力加热，用不同材料包裹建筑外墙以使其气密，以及在部分空间引入自然光而非人造光。美术馆还安装了高效窗户，更新了水 fixtures 并彻底改革了其废弃物处理策略，优先重复利用来自展览和临时空间的材料。
降低能源使用对于艺术界来说是一个尤为棘手的挑战，因为艺术品的保存和展示传统上涉及对光照、温度和湿度的严格阈值要求。
早期的保护原则认为，在这些标准之外运行可能会损坏纺织品、油画或历史文献。
维持这些条件通常需要消耗大量能源，产生加剧气候变化的碳排放。绿色协议对温度和湿度的要求则较为宽松。
当艺术品出借给美术馆时，这些保存要求通常是贷款协议中的一项强制性条款。
至于艺术品的运输，一些机构已开始优先选择低碳运输方式，如海运和铁路运输。
“提高运营的可持续性会影响整座建筑，”安大略美术馆（AGO）的展览、收藏与保护主管杰西卡·布赖特（Jessica Bright）表示，“……在整个博物馆——从工厂运营和设施服务到展览和艺术服务——我们正在协作寻找在履行文化使命的同时降低排放的新方法。”
许多较小的机构已经在努力维持生存，并不一定拥有资源来致力于可持续发展工作，她说道。
在加拿大，包括文化机构在内的零碳建筑通过加拿大绿色建筑委员会（Canada Green Building Council）认证。该委员会绿色建筑计划与创新副总裁马克·哈钦森（Mark Hutchinson）希望，一个以展示创意为任务的行业将继续寻找与其作品一样富有想象力的气候变化解决方案。
安大略美术馆目前正在进行一项耗资 $100-mil- 且面积 40,000-square-foot 的丹尼·赖斯现代与当代（Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary）
美术馆计划努力采取“绿色实践优先”的理念。可持续实践也可以应用于展览的运营细节。温哥华美术馆在名为《未来地理》（Future Geographies）的新气候展览中，采用了几项独特的可持续试点计划，博物馆希望将其永久化。在过去几年中，该馆有数十件展品是通过陆路而非航空运输的，并且展品配套的文字面板采用了回收纸板等材料。美术馆还采用了“虚拟策展人”，通过FaceTime与工作人员联系以协助安装各种艺术品，而不是将人员飞往温哥华进行交付和布置。在某些情况下，这种策略可以让他们直接与艺术家本人合作。例如，在一个展出孟买艺术家里娜·赛尼·卡拉特（Reena Saini Kallat）作品的独立装置中（该作品是一系列用电路板构建的大规模人类迁徙地图），艺术家通过一系列在线会议指导工作人员安装她的作品。
该扩建项目旨在采用紧凑的形式，在墙壁和屋顶采用高水平的绝缘，从而减少对人工加热和冷却的需求，Diamond Schmitt事务所负责人迈克尔·莱克曼（Michael Leckman）表示。选择全电建筑意味着更高效的能量回收，减轻了供暖和冷却系统的压力。考虑到美术馆与办公楼不同，在夜间仍需运行，这一点尤为重要。“其中一个挑战是我们面临的是如何充分利用排气。你正在使用空气源热泵……你正在创造一件非常温暖的冬装外套，几乎没有能量流失，”莱克曼说。
哈钦森（Hutchinson）表示：“我们作为社会面临的挑战之一，就是有时我们无法进行长期思考。”2014年，Bizot集团（一个博物馆馆长网络）发布了《Bizot绿色协议》，以指导博物馆和美术馆领导层实施“更绿色的博物馆实践”。该协议最近一次更新是在2023年。2014年，安大略美术馆（AGO）是首批采用该协议的机构之一。
该扩建部分是首个在2027年开放的零碳设计认证文化机构。来自三家独立公司——Diamond Schmitt、Seldorf和Two Row——的建筑师在构建这个新翼楼时具有从零开始的优势，使他们能够尝试这些解决方案中的一部分。
哈钦森说，行业标准的规模正日益受到该国文化机构的质疑，旨在建立一个更灵活的功能阈值。包括新斯科舍省美术馆、桑德贝艺术馆以及位于多伦多北部的麦克迈克尔加拿大艺术收藏馆（McMichael Canadian Art Collection，该馆正处于重大振兴过程中）在内的多家主要文化机构，都已申请零碳设计认证。
Robertson参考了作者兼教授费尔南多·多明格斯·鲁比奥（Fernando Dominguez Rubio）的观点，他写道，在大型文化机构中存储和展示艺术品所消耗的能量比重症监护室还要多。
保存艺术品的理想条件最初是由美国科学家加里·汤姆森（Garry Thomson）在1970年代提出的。“整个世界正在展示在可持续运营方面的领导力，尽管这些空间与这些挑战相关，”西部大学可持续中心主任克斯蒂·罗伯逊（Kirsty Robertson）说。
“我们可以看到蒙娜丽莎，我们可以在1,000年后看到所有这些东西。我认为，拥有一座能够反映这种长期思考的博物馆或美术馆，将是极佳的结合。”
Ryan Murphy 和 Bret Easton Ellis 在《碎片》（The Shards）中探讨 20 世纪 80 年代 JOHANNA 直到 Robert 出现之前的女友；《美国美男》（American Beauty）、Evan Rachel 80 年代的电影，《外星 E.T.》，仅制作了 Calvin Klein 牛仔裤和 Gucci 乐福鞋 SCHNELLER 和 Debbie (Hayes Warner) —— 一个来自《十三》（Thirteen）和 Rigney 距离 US$800-million 还差一点。实际的电影版本《低于零》（Less Than Zero），发行于 1987, 仅获得了 US$12.4-million，尽管 Robert Downey Jr. 的突破性表演，但其成功程度远低于《美国精神病人》（American Psycho）。
大局观 Susan，因此永远地 他还创造了一个“星二代”超新星：Gerber，超模 Cindy Crawford 的女儿，她试图不去注意到她的男朋友 Bret 是同性恋。她试图寻找更深层的东西。“每一个伟大的故事都关乎失去。”“在 18 岁时，我已经在凝视我的过去。”而且，“我从未觉得自己如此成熟，也从未觉得自己如此孤独。”噢，天哪。
两股力量正在潜行：一个陷入恶性循环的可卡因瘾君子和一个拖车房居民，以及一群傲慢、颓废的 1981 年高中年级学生，他们在新的 FX 系列剧中在比弗利山庄翘课，在餐厅里对服务员颐指气使，开着他们的梅赛德斯奔驰在 Mulholland 路上疾驰，前往奢华的豪宅，进行着由音乐视频点亮的性爱，并说着诸如“这款唇彩让我看起来显胖吗？”以及“她真的可以是个荡妇 —— 我钦佩她这一点”和“‘回家’（Homecoming）”之类的话。他们警告说：“做好准备……准备好了吗？”
一些人说这走得太远了。有些人说它打击得太重。这就是人们一直期待的 80 年代。但 80 年代是否已经成为了一个自嘲的模仿对象：正如前文所述，Bret 崇拜 Joan Didion，她写作时具有克制、精炼和绝对控制力。相反，Bret 说道：“我想像我这一代的所有有抱负的作家那样写作，”他接着写道，“我当时甚至知道，即使在写小说《低于零》时，我就知道多么强大的麻醉剂才能如此粗俗。我告诉自己，我将记录……”
《碎片》：一个被称为“拖网机”（Trawler）的连环杀手，以及 Bret Easton Ellis 对 80 年代阴暗面的深刻刻画。（该剧于 Aug. 5 首播）。由 Ellis（以《美国精神病人》及多产著称的作者和编剧）和 Ryan Murphy（《Love Story》、《American Horror Story》）共同创作，基于 Ellis 2023 年的同名虚构回忆录《碎片》——这是最新的一部探讨这一主题的剧集。
Ryan 在其中尽情地运用了大量的时代符号（一个从 Halloween 搬来的场景；一个在好莱坞酷暑中处于过热状态的角色，他仅能通过眨眼来表达），并嘲讽那些用卫生纸做花车且患有痛风的肥胖中西部人。我忍不住对该剧努力将 Ellis 塑造为整个 80 年代核心人物的方式翻白眼。Bret 崇拜真实的 Joan Didion 和 Herb Ritts（两人于 1991 年结婚，1995. 年离婚），以及 1988 年由名摄影师 Herb Ritts 主持的烧烤聚会。只有 Bret 崇拜真实的 Joan Didion 和 Herb Ritts 这两位神祇，以及将 Ellis 推向 80 年代文学“早餐俱乐部”（Brat Pack）的真实小说。
由 Jay 领导，在《天堂的颓废》（Heaven’s decadence）中输光了所有钱，这是一个我会多次在我的写作生涯中提及的借口。包括《恐惧岬》（Cape Fear）。这部作品部分是惊悚片，部分是刻薄的肥皂剧，《碎片》（The Shards）既是对 20 世纪 80 年代的颂歌，也是对其讽刺。
担心 McInerney。“Bret”的小说充满了对 10 遍的重复以及 Ellis 式的风格。关于那个名为 Trawler 的人，他绑架、折磨并肢解青少年——让他们吃掉不想吃的东西，这在痴迷于身体的洛杉矶是一种特别的恐怖。在山丘上的嬉皮士邪教，由一个戴着糟糕假发的查尔斯·曼森追随者领导。

剧情围绕五个生活快节奏、早逝且极度特权的舞会之王和女王展开，由 Bret (Igby Rigney) 领导，他是一个伪装的、深柜的、有抱负的小说家，他以旁白的形式讲述这个故事，其语气如此令人厌烦，以至于你想扇他一巴掌。我不想称他为 Ellis 的另一个人格，他更像是 Ellis 的愿望达成。
然后是 Robert (Homer cast Gere)，学校的新生。他是 Bret 欲望、嫉妒以及怀疑的对象，因为他的到来恰逢 Trawler 的杀戮 spree。Thom (Graham Campbell) 是足球明星，善良但乏味；Susan (Kaia Gerber) 是 It Girl，惊艳、聪明、有野心，且是 Thom 的女友。

浪漫奇幻（Romantasy）铺平道路 奇幻与浪漫的类型碰撞如今无处不在，得益于 BookTok 的内容创作者，读者们正在决定下一部最热门的小说。 SARAH LAING
不久前，“浪漫奇幻”基本上仅限于 BookTok 的一个小角落。
快进到今天，这种奇幻与浪漫的类型碰撞随处可见——无论是在大型图书零售商还是独立书店的书架上，还是在畅销书排行榜上。浪漫奇幻正以切实的方式改变着出版业。
很大程度上这也与怀旧有关。你能看到对《吸血鬼日记》的引用，以及一本刚刚出版的、将《巴菲 the Vampire Slayer》与《第四翼》（Fourth Wing）相结合的书。还有《美少女战士》浪漫奇幻。我认为这属于浪漫奇幻的相邻类型，非常有意思。今年我已经看到几本关于一级方程式（Formula 1）赛龙的书出版了。
根据彭博社（Bloomberg）的数据，仅在 2024 年，该类型就带来了 US$610-million 的收入。2025, 6 月，Circana BookScan 报告称，前一年在美国售出的浪漫小说达 5100万 本，比 2024. 增长了 24%。在这个广泛的类型数据中，浪漫奇幻是增长最快的类别之一。在加拿大，BookNet 发现，Rebecca Yarros 的《Onyx Storm》和 Callie Hart 的《Quicksilver》等浪漫奇幻作品位列去年的浪漫小说畅销精装书前 10 名。
这一切共同构成了一个如今规模巨大的类型，其叙事长度与读者们正处于其中的系列丛书一样长。当然，也有空间让宏大、诱人的单本作品脱颖而出。
关于新书的影响，Sarah J. Maas 即将于 Oct. 27 出版的新书将成为今年的大事件。我们对此非常兴奋。她太出色了，与她的读者群联系非常紧密，并致力于确保该社区感受到被关怀。这将是一件大事。我们将计划举行午夜发行活动和攀登畅销书榜单的活动。我热爱这个社区中发生的这类事情，因为每个人都会为此而现身。
关于她的投稿箱中出现了什么，她表示：“我看到了更多暗黑边缘的作品和更多跨类型融合的投稿。例如，我收到了更多反乌托邦浪漫奇幻和体育浪漫奇幻，这很有趣。反乌托邦浪漫小说现在绝对非常流行。我认为它将呈指数级增长。我看到了更多的怪物，更多的神灵。它们增加了额外的风险等级和危机感。”
她补充道，现在通过投稿提交浪漫奇幻作品是一个相当微妙的时机，因为这像是在走钢丝。随着我们看到这些书籍取得惊人的成功，它
关于新趋势，她的观察是：“一切都在变得更加阴暗。你看到风险更高、情感伤害更深、角色不再安全的情况。更高的‘辣度’（spice）变得不再是禁忌，而且更加主流，因为人们能够在安全的环境中探索更多内容。维京和北欧风格的浪漫奇幻目前正处于风口。海盗浪漫奇幻也开始出现。
不久前，我刚签了 1 部此类史诗单本作品，字数超过 200,000 字，且没有一个人退缩。出版商们对这种能够在一本书中获得深沉、沉浸式奇幻感，同时兼具慢热（slow-burn）和‘欢喜冤家’（enemies-to-lovers）故事的想法感到兴奋。”
感觉无处不在，这引发了一个问题：观众最终会对这种趋势感到厌倦吗？自从世界首次发现阅读关于一名女主角在发现隐藏力量的同时与一名道德模糊的英雄坠入爱河，且背景设定在充满魔法和扣人心弦的戏剧冲突的世界中是多么有趣以来，浪漫奇幻（romantasy）是否已经进化？或者，我们的浪漫奇幻才刚刚开始？
我们采访了专家，请他们解读 2026 年浪漫奇幻的现状。

在 2023, 2024, 它确实爆发了，而且那些销量并没有真正停止。它只是在上升。我们看到更多的人加入进来，而且并没有看到它放缓的迹象。
[Sarah J. Maas 的 ACOTAR 系列] 第六册和第七册的公布正是今年该类型所需要的。这将是一个巨大的推动力，我认为它将带动那些因为时间太久而重新阅读该系列的人，或者想要参与讨论的人的销量。而这正是社交媒体发挥作用的地方。人们不想感到被冷落——当这件事成为所有讨论的焦点时，我们只会看到它继续增长。
Maddalena Cavaciuti, David Higham Associates 文学经纪人 关于 2026 年浪漫奇幻的现状
很容易指出它们在很多方面的相似之处。很多作品都有非常强大的女性主角，它们通常以一个可能是敌人的恋爱对象开始，发生在有时借鉴相同传说或充满其他最受欢迎浪漫奇幻书籍中生物的世界里。
这些元素运作得非常好，读者仍然对此有需求，但对于经纪人来说，挑战在于当提交作品时，它们在推介阶段变得相当难以区分。我的工作就是找到那个脱颖而出的、敢于大胆原创并提供新视角的作品。
这在过去几年一直是市场中非常令人兴奋的一部分。我热爱它的一点是它是读者驱动的。过去的情况是出版商告诉我们他们想让我们读什么，通过把那些书放在我们面前。而对于浪漫奇幻，读者没有在传统出版商那里看到他们想要的东西，或者获得的速度不够快，或者数量不够多。BookTok 成为了一个人们可以分享这些推荐的社区，读者并不在意他们听到的书是传统出版还是独立出版。他们也不在意这是否突破了传统出版商可能感到舒适的界限。他们只是想阅读自己喜爱的书籍。
JESSICA COTTIGNIES 粉丝兼内容创作者 @romantasywithjess 关于该类型如何演变
仍然有一些关于仙子的内容，而且这将一直存在，但巨龙现在很受欢迎。我希望随着该类型细分为更多的子类型，能让更多的人加入进来。
AMANDA GAUTHIER Indigo 体验总监 关于 2026 年浪漫奇幻的现状
浪漫奇幻正在蓬勃发展。无论是在 BookTok 还是 Instagram 上，围绕它建立了一个如此强大的社区，充满了爱、快乐和纯粹的乐趣。我认为浪漫奇幻将继续如此。伦敦书展的年度之书就是如此。
确实有更多人被黑暗和印刷浪漫小说吸引。我不知道这仅仅是对世界现状的反映，还是因为随着它变得更受欢迎，人们更容易讨论它。我有几个书友...
从未见过。今天，我《All The Young Dudes》的改编，关于 2026 年浪漫奇幻（romantasy）的状态。看着这些类型以这种方式成长真的很有趣。随着它们变得流行，人们得以在网上交流，这让社区变得更强大、更多元。我完全没看到这个趋势有任何减弱的迹象。
当我想到浪漫奇幻时，脑海中浮现的词是女性赋权、女性能动性、女性快感。这些在这些故事中至关重要，也是让这个类型如此特别的原因。Rebecca Yarros 让我们所有人都感到惊讶。我们没预料到它会像那样爆火。即使在《Fourth Wing》发行时，它也花了几个月时间。那是靠口碑传播的。与另一位合适的人在合适的时间向其推荐，可以让另一位作者真正占据那个空间。我们不断地感到惊讶。
这个类型是否过度饱和了？关于浪漫奇幻占据了多少书店空间，我有时会感到惋惜，因为我的时间有限。我只希望自己能读更多书。而我们正看到更多专门的货架空间以及更多独特的销售库存单位（SKU），这意味着我们不仅仅是在销售同一批作者的更多副本，我们还看到全新的作者和系列进入该领域。我们正看到一些青少年作者开始涉足成人世界，我们也看到一些成人作者向下延伸，向青少年读者介绍一些更温和的浪漫奇幻。
关于浪漫奇幻在 2026 年的状态。我曾与其中一人交换过 20 条语音备忘录，只是在讨论一本书。我还是几个进行书籍交换的小组的一员，我们在那里分享愿望清单，然后在阅读时讨论它们。我们越来越多地看到流行的同人小说被传统出版商选中，因为这些故事已经证明了自己拥有成熟的受众。我们还看到很多原本在 Kindle 排行榜上崛起的自出版书籍，因为读者热爱并推荐它们，随后被传统出版商选中。
我认为是这样。我永远不会说绝不可能。我认为这个类型有空间容纳下一个 Sarah J. Maas 或 Rebecca Yarros。
现在阅读占据了他们生活中的那个空间，而且他们热爱这种感觉，并不准备放弃。即使是屏幕和流媒体似乎也无法与这些书籍在他们生活中占据的地位相竞争。
关于 1970 年代霍格沃茨的同人小说，从 Remus Lupin（又名 Moony）的视角讲述。人们通过这种方式接触到他们真正想读的内容，甚至可能之前根本不知道这些内容的存在。欢迎加入社区！一个读者一年阅读的数量令人惊叹。
至于出版商目前在寻找什么。书业曾经相当单调。你对什么能卖出去有很清晰的预判。但 BookTok 彻底改变了游戏规则，因为突然一个 TikTok 博主说了某件事，另一位作者的书就火了。
目前人们对浪漫奇幻泡沫还能持续多久持谨慎态度。几年前，我曾有一位出版商建议为了那个原因将一部三部曲的提案改为二部曲。我不知道是否有人会这么说。作者们也在迎接挑战，构思一种新的方式来创造惊人的情节反转或悬念，或者对某种套路进行新诠释。女骑士现在正处于巅峰时刻。
因为我们现在有了某种性别——对我而言，我现在看到的是，它非常充满活力，并且在不断演变，与传统的相比，一旦读者进入一个系列，他们就会——每季度都有惊喜和变化。我们曾为《环球邮报》提供特别报道。它激发了作者的创造力，只要书籍继续保持优秀，读者就会非常忠诚。总的来说，小说类书籍今年表现相当出色。而另一面则使其非常令人兴奋。我们学到的一点是，当世界变得艰难时，人们会寻求逃避。这些访谈经过了编辑和压缩。

八本让你爱不释手的推理小说
从凯特琳·马伦（Caitlin Mullen）到吉莉安·弗伦奇（Gillian French），这些小说具备了经典谋杀谜团所有混乱的要素
艾米莉·唐尔森（EMILY DONALDSON） 玛格丽特·坎农（MARGARET CANNON）
黑暗传奇 真实犯罪书籍深入探讨了演员阿兰·德隆（Alain Delon）和建筑师弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特（Frank Lloyd Wright）的阴暗世界
有没有哪个演员能比巅峰时期的阿兰·德隆更美？
答案显然是没有。在《紫色正午》（Plein Soleil）中尤其如此，其中最令人难忘的一幕是这位法国演员驾驶着一艘帆船在地中海航行，而他富有的受害者迪基·格林利夫（Dickie Greenleaf）的尸体就静静地躺在下方。德隆凝视前方，目光坚毅，他那遥远、近乎残酷的完美与他古铜色身体阳光般灿烂的活力形成了令人震惊的对比。德隆的神秘感和性感与他那种冰冷的、孤狼般的不可知气质密不可分。这种特质在爱德华·奇泽姆（Edward Chisholm）的《巴黎68谋杀案》（Murder in Paris 68）中……
由 凯特琳·马伦（CAITLIN MULLEN） 著 （CELADON 出版，352 页）
这部节奏缓慢的心理悬疑小说是一部真正的“女性小说”。这并不意味着它不会吸引男性，只是情节的复杂度和人物的深度非常具有女性色彩，而且其核心是一部关于受虐、被抛弃的女性以及姐妹情谊的小说。
这本书有两个时间线和四个主要角色：聪明迷人且不幸地也是她的上司——博物馆馆长。这段浪漫关系走向恶化，紧张局势升级。哈莉（Hallie）职业生涯中的一些小事件使她的工作陷入危机。她确信雷夫（Rafe）是这些错误的幕后主使，想要将她赶走。哈莉通过对莫斯（Moss）和雷夫提出申诉来反击，而她仍然在梦中思念雷夫。然后有一天晚上，一切都发生了：雷夫，酒精，以及性。哈莉在早晨醒来，面对一具死尸，并意识到谋杀案的首要嫌疑人正是哈莉·劳施（Hallie Rausch）。
当然，有许多秘密等待被揭开，以及一些旧历史，但沃森（Watson）让悬念和紧张感持续流动，随着我们揭开哈莉和雷夫的真实故事，以及一段演变为执念的爱情。
char- 深入探讨了马科维奇事件，在对这起 60 年代后期的丑闻的叙述中，其低俗的成分——谋杀！狂欢！政治阴谋！——触及了法国政府的最高层，牵涉到总理乔治·庞皮杜的妻子。对我来说，没有什么比一部完美的历史推理小说更能让我感到愉悦，而多伦多作家 Olesya Lyuzna 在这部出色的续作中，在《Glitter in The Dark》中塑造的女侦探 Ginny Du 之后，加入了一大把琐碎的犯罪元素，让我立刻回到了《大盖茨比》的感觉。
故事始于一场激烈的枪战，起因是一场高额赌注的扑克局。Ginny 的搭档 Jack Crawford 处于风暴中心，字面意义上的中心，他手里拿着枪，死者就躺在地上。现场是一家精英私人俱乐部，老板给了 Jack 五天时间破案，否则就得为此被绞死。这让 Ginny 在长岛的富家子弟中奔波寻找线索。香槟流淌，谎言交织，一切都非常有趣。我很喜欢这一部。
在纽约州北部某处，另一个女人正享受着她美丽的家和她看似完美的家庭。她扮演的角色通过她的女儿逐渐揭晓，这个被宠坏的女儿在她的世界里制造混乱。这时，关于 Heather 的整个长篇故事达到了高潮。
《Cross My Heart, I Hope You Die》 作者：MALLORY ARNOLD （POISONED PEN，341 页）
在《The Liars in Paradise》（神秘出版社，304 页）中，新任的警察局长 Callie Hauser 面对着当地警队的厌女症以及前局长的恶意干扰。她放弃了一份重要工作来到 The Pines，是为了帮助照顾她最年长且最亲爱的朋友 Jane，后者正从一起肇事逃逸事故中缓慢康复。在值班期间，Callie 发现了一起 30 年前未解决的案件——一名新生儿被遗弃在路边，孩子随后死亡。据推测是孩子母亲的一名青少年失踪了。
随着 Callie 深入挖掘这起旧案，她自己的背景也随之揭开。她是青少年母亲的独生女，母亲是镇上的酗酒者，她原以为自己已经逃离了这里。她对这个悲惨故事的研究揭示了并非一个，而是两个绝望的青少年双胞胎女孩——Annabelle 和 Sabrina——被母亲遗弃，且在很大程度上被她们的父亲忽视和抛弃。Sabrina 是强势的一方，是早熟者，而且在诡异地呼应了《Purple Noon》中 Tom Ripley 的角色那样，被邀请穿上 Delon 的衣服。Annabelle 是聪明的一方，是被寄予厚望获得成功的人。两人都被同一个男人诱惑。
1968 年，Delon 的朋友兼电影替身 Stevan Markovic 的尸体被发现于一条乡村公路旁的沟渠中，尸体被塑料包裹，遭钝器击打。Markovic 是一个来自南斯拉夫的机会主义者，靠在街头拍照片赚取微薄收入。在非法移居法国后，命运将 带入了即将大红大紫的 的轨道。他迅速把握住好运，试图让自己成为 及其妻子 Nathalie 不可或缺的人。他跑腿，照顾他们年幼的儿子。
作为这些服务的回报，他被允许进入他们巴黎豪宅的大楼梯下。一段时间内， 自欺欺人地认为自己是他们光鲜生活的一部分。但 让他处于一种极具侮辱性的依赖状态：如果他想要钱，就必须请求。他需要 签署允许他留在法国的文件，但 一直在拖延。
Chisholm 对 凶手的搜寻使他深入进入 阴暗的背景。在找到那个密室谋杀案
名声，德隆曾服兵役，其服役期间有三分之一的时间因各种违规行为在监狱中度过。后来，他以与坏人交往而闻名，这里的“坏人”是指科西嘉岛的匪徒而非戏剧演员。奇泽姆不断将德隆的荧幕外生活与其在银幕上扮演的角色进行对比：《紫色正午》中迷人的杀手（《VIKING》，352页），以及《武士》中超乎常理的冷静、沉默的杀手。
“富人不像你我”是一个贯穿时代的陈词滥调。一直以来，都有那些拥有很多却仍想要更多，并过着奢华生活的人。我们现在处于一个新的镀金时代，充斥着人们获得十亿美元薪酬、拥有大到需要另一艘小游艇来接送乘客上岸的超级游艇，以及数万亿财产的故事。确实，不像你我。
用一种直接源自1950年代黑色电影的时尚、爵士风格的散文，他提出德隆之所以成功，是因为用演员自己的话来说，他就是他的角色。由此产生的问题是，他所展现的暴力在多大程度上源于对私密生活的了解，而这个问题得到了令人心痒的模糊回答。
向后梳的白色鬃毛，长而像鹰一样的脸庞：年长的弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特（Frank Lloyd Wright）的照片看起来完全是一位贵族名流。然后是那些建筑。这座低矮的、受日本影响的草原学校设计；宾夕法尼亚州的落水佳庭（Fallingwater）；白色的……
……直到最后都不会放下，所以请在你有时间的时候再读。结合了复仇、嫉妒、诡计以及一丝恐怖感。这就是马洛里·阿诺德（Mallory Arnold）的这部小说——《逍遥法外》（Getting Away With Murder）。她懂得如何营造氛围，而这个流畅且蜿蜒的故事充满了这种氛围。鲁比（Ruby）、查姆（Cham）和诺拉（Nora）之间毫无共同之处，可能存在敲诈，而且马科维奇（Markovic）甚至互不相识，直到他们发现三人都在与杰森（Jason）约会——并且都对他痴迷。他欺骗并玩弄了她们所有人。一旦她们发现他是个多么卑鄙的小人，她们决定设下陷阱。当然不是为了伤害他，只是为了给他一个他应得的教训。于是，女人们前往一座偏僻的小屋开始执行计划，但随后事情出了差错。一场暴风雪将她们困在林间的阴暗世界，而最糟糕的是，杰森死掉了。谁干的？谁是清白的？每个人都有秘密且撒过谎——而一个杀过一次人的人很可能会再次出手。这是一个极佳的谜题式情节，线索像森林里的面包屑一样散落。不可错过。
《我们绝不会透露的事》（What We Would Never Tell） 作者：安妮-索菲·茹昂诺（ANNE-SOPHIE JOUHANNEAU） （SOURCEBOOKS，437页）
茹昂诺是又一位从青少年文学跨越到成人犯罪小说的作者。她的第一部小说讲述的是一群真正令人厌恶的人。吉尔（Jill）和泰德·韦斯特科特（Ted Westcott）属于那种特权阶层。他们有完美的仆人来维持他们完美的家。他们宠爱被娇惯的孩子，并且认为这些孩子也将过上奢侈的生活。但随后事情出了差错。泰德的遗产用完了。一项投资失败了。该怎么办？缩减开支？没门。答案显而易见。谋杀泰德极其成功的哥哥格雷格（Greg），并继承他$45-million estate。
在这部技巧高超且极具可读性的小说中，问题不在于谁或为什么。而在于“他们能逃脱惩罚吗？”此时，一名警察在他们的……
追踪那些并不信服的人。书中的《法式蜜月》（The French Honeymoon）将曼哈顿的古根海姆博物馆比作剥开的橙色螺旋。所有项目都呈现出一种禅一般的平静。然而，赖特（Wright）的生活事实证明绝非如此。
多年来，赖特的浪漫纠葛将我们再次带回戛纳电影节，那里充满了魅力和吸引小报媒体的噱头，而闪光灯则为这一切增色。1909年，他告诉妻子基蒂（Kitty），他要离开她去追求作家、翻译家兼毫不掩饰的女性主义者玛莎（马马）·博思威克（Martha (Mamah) Borthwick），由此引发的一场离婚诉讼，其拖延程度远超他大多数建筑的设计和施工过程。
赖特名气大到足以让这段婚外情登上国家头条。而基蒂通过反复向记者保证——她很乐意邀请记者进入赖特家中——一切都很好，从而帮助维持了这种局面。当赖特和马马一起逃往欧洲时，她坚持认为他只是出差，很快就会回来。
很难想象，比如弗兰克·盖里（Frank Gehry）会成为TMZ的报道对象。但现在的任何当代明星建筑师都无法达到赖特在那个时代所拥有的名气水平。他与博思威克的私情被认为是美国首批重大名人丑闻之一。
《杀手与天堂》（The Killer and Paradise） 作者：凯西·舍曼（Casey Sherman）
正如副标题《弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特：天堂大屠杀的真实故事》所表明的，本书聚焦于发生在塔利埃辛（Taliesin）的一次极其暴力的事件。塔利埃辛是赖特为自己和博思威克在威斯康星州建造的住宅，部分目的是为了躲避窥视的目光。
格雷格（Greg）从他的游艇上掉下去了。这里有吉尔（Jill）最好的女性朋友，她因为吉尔比她有钱而心生不满。还有其他更阴险的人，包括资助韦斯特科特（Westcott）一家生活的高利贷者。他们会得逞吗？
拉佩纳（Lapena）无疑是目前在世最优秀的加拿大犯罪小说作家之一，她从不让悬念掉线。她的最新作品是迄今为止最好的作品之一。故事以一个简单的序幕开始，讲述了一个处于好莱坞等级制度底层的无名年轻女子。“我们是隐形的，”她写道。没有人关心或注意到，即使是一条价值数百万加元的项链丢失了——但当一具尸体出现在地中海时，情况就完全不同了。
故事随后切到电影节的最后一天，由一名网络影响力者用色彩鲜明的语言写成。就这样，茹哈诺（Jouhanneau）在小说的其余部分吸引了读者。语调多变，角色进出，谜团在魅力、谎言和壮丽的法国风景中不断推进。关注这位作家，她太出色了。
《风暴潮》（Storm Tide） 作者：保罗·多伊伦（PAUL D O I R O N） （MINOTAUR，352页）
我热爱这个以缅因州游戏管理员迈克·鲍迪奇（Mike Bowditch）为主角的绝佳系列。多伊伦再次交付了一部精彩的犯罪小说，提供了大量关于鲍迪奇自身故事的信息。这一次，迈克偶然发现一场演变为悲剧的房屋火灾。他设法救出了一个被困在火中的人，但那个人随后死去了。这看起来像是个悲伤的故事，但死者被指控杀害了自己的孩子。一名高级律师在案件中制造了足够的合理怀疑以使其被宣判无罪，但许多当地人认为他是有罪的。
在遥远的地方，另一个男人不幸死去。他是被火车撞死，还是自杀？他也被指控犯有罪行，且不
《不安之骨》（Restless Bones） 作者：吉莉安·弗伦奇（GILLIAN FR ENCH） （MINOTAUR，292页）
定罪。州政府支持她优秀的侦探，媒体。在那里，这对夫妇发现自己被那些惊惶不安的邻居所排挤。迈克意识到了这一点。而且，随着他的妻子进入怀孕的最后几周，情况似乎变得越来越糟糕。她被一辆白色面包车跟踪。奇怪的事件似乎将迈克与死者联系在一起，并使他成为了潜在的目标。随着时间的推移，事情变得更加诡异。Bowditch的粉丝会喜欢这一部。其他人则会想先阅读之前的15部。
而肖·康诺利（Shaw Connolly）发现了一个唯一的线索：一个属于一名早已死去的女性前囚犯的指纹。
正当她开始揭开池塘死亡之谜时，安德斯·詹森（Anders Jensen）再次出现。还有另外两名死者，他可能会承认，但前提是肖·康诺利必须参与调查。肖知道詹森做任何事都有计划，且他极其邪恶，但她也深知那些不知道亲人遭遇了什么的家庭所承受的折磨。她同意了条款，但代价巨大。她的家人在哀悼，她的婚姻正在崩溃，而她最小的儿子正渐渐迷失。如何在维持这一切的同时，避开安德斯·詹森为她策划的任何阴谋？
《情人》（The Lover） 作者：玛丽·沃森（MARY WATSON） （随机房出版社加拿大分社，RANDOM HOUSE CANADA，384页）
这部小说来自沃森，她此前创作了畅销书《清洁工》（The Cleaner），证明了她并非昙花一现。故事在第一页就抓住了读者，且从未松手。拥有绝佳的情节、出色的角色和卓越的文笔。
她回到了故乡，在Moss博物馆工作，那是她从小就热爱的地方。而且她拥有完美的恋人——雷夫（Rafe）性感且心智纯洁。
警方认为两者之间没有联系，但指纹分析师肖·康诺利在……之后……
然而，舍曼（Sherman）故事中最迷人的部分并非毫无意义、随机的恐怖本身，而是它对当时社会习俗的深刻刻画。一个典型的例子是博思威克（Borthwick）死后发生的事情。当赖特（Wright）与一名名为米里亚姆·诺埃尔（Miriam Noel）的“雕塑家”交往时，他那道貌岸然的高龄管家偷走了这对夫妇的信件并将其交给媒体。她甚至设法让他接受调查——由著名的律师克拉伦斯·达罗（Clarence Darrow）代理——原因是违反了《曼法案》（Mann Act），该法案将跨州运输女性用于“不道德目的”定为联邦犯罪。
该案件失败了。十年后，轮到米里亚姆在赖特与另一名女性交往后援引《曼法案》。舍曼作为大量真实犯罪类书籍的作者，在写作时充满了悬念且不落俗套，将赖特的职业生涯置于有用的背景之中。即便没有其他意义，赖特的故事也证明了艺术上的完美宁静并不一定源自生活的宁静。

R8 《环球邮报》畅销书榜 / 周六，AUGUST 8, 2026
阅读的最新趋势？经典小说。在社会困境之中，主义尤为突出。日常生活，但并非以一种“让人感到有趣且能产生共鸣的方式，”Louise, 27. 说道。一些读者在经典小说的教训中寻求慰藉。
作为达芙妮·杜·莫里埃（Daphne du Maurier）和勃朗特姐妹（Brontë sisters）小说的粉丝，Louise还惊讶于许多经典作品——即使是那些追溯到1800年代的作品——竟然如此“易懂且能产生共鸣”。
“我认为人们存在一种误解，认为经典作品之所以出名是因为它们非常复杂且难以理解，”她说。“我认为大多数经典作品实际上完全不是那样的。”
今年早些时候，在Munro’s Books书店发生了一件奇怪的事情。经典冒险小说《基督山伯爵》（The Count of Monte Cristo）的副本开始在维多利亚市的这家独立书店中被抢购一空。更奇怪的是，购买者大多是20多岁和十几岁的读者。
这些趋势并未逃过经典作品制作人的注意。上个月，企鹅兰登书屋加拿大分公司（Penguin Random House Canada）和Indigo也
在社会忧虑之中，人们谈论他们是如何被刻意地保持在愚钝和贫穷的状态。然后你看看加拿大的公共教育和公共医疗保健是如何被剥夺的。教室规模越来越大，资源在萎缩，而大量的救济却被给予了私营部门。
同样，住在多伦多的Elora Colbert也惊讶于经典小说给了她多少可以与朋友讨论的素材，因为她的朋友们经常阅读相同的书籍。这位 16 岁的少女开始阅读她在家里周围捡到的经典书籍，其中许多曾属于她的父母和祖父母。所以
迄今为止，在多伦多的 Indigo Bay and Bloor 分店推出了一场专门的经典文学活动，精选了 Penguin Black Classics 和 Penguin Clothbound Classics 系列。该零售商和出版商正押注于年轻读者不仅想阅读经典，而且想收藏它们。
“以前我们一个月只卖一本或两本。突然之间，我们开始卖到六本甚至 12 本。”Munro’s 的首席采购员 Sarah Mead-Willis 表示。

在 2017 年和 2025. 年，经典书籍在畅销书名单上的表现如同第一季播出一般。事实证明，Munro’s 的销量增长并非唯一的图书销售现象，它与社交媒体上围绕《基督山伯爵》展开的一系列讨论同步出现，尤其是在年轻读者中。
虽然 X 上经常转发的一条评论将这本书称为“垃圾（slop）”，且已故评论家翁贝托·艾柯（Umberto Eco）在为《巴黎评论》（The Paris Review）撰写的一篇文章中，将其称为“有史以来写得最烂的小说之一”，但这种争论显然转化为了销量。
在过去几年中，Munro’s 对经典书籍的兴趣增加，也与电影和电视同步。
行业数据支持了这一观点。
“很多 25 到 35 岁的顾客走进店里就直奔我们的‘经典文学’区，”多伦多市中心 Ben McNally Books 的 Danielle McNally 表示。“我们已经开始增加这些书籍的订单量，不仅增加了特定书目的数量，还引入了更多品种，以提供更多选择。”
“那是一本厚得像门挡一样的小说，不是你在想到年轻人和他们的阅读习惯时的刻板印象。”
除此之外，她还读过《绿山墙的安妮》、《蝇王》、《大盖茨比》和《小妇人》等书。这些是她高中英语课要求的书目——例如《奥赛罗》——但她阅读这些书并非仅仅因为要求。
温尼伯的 BookTok 创作者 Lauren Louise（社交媒体账号为 @bigbooklady）发现自己阅读的经典书籍比以往更多。
“这关乎在数字丰盈时代，实体书变成了什么，”Penguin Random House Canada 的首席运营官 Robert Wheaton 表示，“经典小说有许多不同的切入点。年轻读者选择书籍的动机比算法的拉动要复杂得多。有些人通过回顾过去来理解他们今天所面对的世界——一个充满不平等和不确定性的世界。”
“没有问题是真正的新问题，”22, 岁的 Olivia Grant 表示，她开始重新阅读高中英语课程中涵盖的经典小说。“原因很简单——不仅是为了提高注意力，作为对无处不在的快节奏社交媒体的一种补救，而且是为了听到经历过那些事情的人再次谈论它并表达他们的观点。”
Grant 经常发现这些素材比以往更……
[...OMITTED...]
正是因为这个原因，今年——“《罪与罚》或《战争与和平》这类作品，你知道，如果你能让自己沉浸在这些经典书籍中，”惠顿（Wheaton）说道，“你将会发现自己能够投入大量的持续注意力。”
而对战争的改编作品，例如 2024 年的《Feratu》（《德古拉》的重新演绎）以及 Hulu 的《使女的故事》，在经典小说中模仿了她在里贾纳周围看到的挑战。她说，在她居住的地方，当代小说中我们将开始看到如此多的互联网文化渗透进文学之中。“……这感觉太像是对现实的反映了。”
根据加拿大图书网络（BookNet Canada）的数据，被归类为经典小说的书籍销量从 2023 年到 2025 年增长了 44%，在 2024 年之间增长了 28%，奥威尔的 1984（这部讽刺阶级差距和极权主义的 1985 年小说）在亚马逊上大受欢迎。罗伯特·杜戈尼（Robert Dugoni） 2018 年的小说《萨姆·赫尔的非凡人生》（The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell）从开篇第一句话就吸引了我：“每个男人的生命中都会有一天，他不再向前看，而是开始回顾过去。”这是一个关于已度过之生的回顾，以深刻的洞察力和冷幽默讲述。我们的主角萨姆天生具有一种影响他一生的特殊身体特征，他致力于理解自己成年后究竟是如何走到今天这一步的。经过深刻的反思，他最终获得了一种让他能够向前看的智慧。我全心推荐这本书，尤其是如果你是一个探索灵魂的人。

BEAU DICK, DZUNUKWA MASK, 2007, RED CEDAR, PIGMENT, HORSE HAIR, 133.03 × 64.93 × 40.01 CM, AUDAIN ART MUSEUM COLLECTION. GIFT OF MICHAEL AUDAIN AND YOSHIKO KARASAWA. PHOTO: TREVOR MILLS, COURTESY OF VANCOUVER ART GALLERY
Located in Whistler, B.C., the Audain Art Museum was founded through a philanthropic gift
from Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa. One of Canada’s newer museums, it opened to the
public in 2016. The museum’s permanent collection features more than 300 works representing
the art of British Columbia. Special exhibitions throughout the year feature artists of national
and international significance. www.audainartmuseum.com
Beau Dick is among the best-known Kwakwaka’wakw master carvers on the Northwest
Coast, and dedicated much of his life to advancing Indigenous rights and territorial
claims. He was a hereditary chief of the ‘Namgis First Nation, and his work is featured in
collections around the world. This oversized mask, carved from red cedar and adorned
with pigment and horsehair, depicts the legendary Kwakwaka’wakw Wild Woman of the
Woods. Dzunukwa roams the deep forest and makes an ominous whistling call to scare
children, as depicted through her pursed lips.

Finance Minister taps Arseneau as chief of staff MARIEKE WALSH SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER OTTAWA
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne has tapped a veteran of Parliament Hill to take over as his chief of staff. Jean-Philippe Arseneau is returning to Ottawa after eight years in the private sector and will start in the senior role on Wednesday, Mr. Champagne’s press secretary John Fragos said in a statement. Mr. Arseneau, who has been working as a consultant in London for the past few years, is well-known in Ottawa having previously served as chief of staff to the late Marc Garneau when he was transport minister. He is replacing Mr. Champagne’s long-time chief of staff Ian Foucher who signalled he would leave his post in the spring. Mr. Foucher has held senior positions within the Liberal government for more than a decade and was also Mr. Champagne’s top aide during his previous posting at industry. He followed the Minister to the finance depart- ment last year. Prior to working for Mr. Champagne, Mr. Foucher was a The Canadian minister responsible for Canada-U.S. relations, Dominic LeBlanc, and Canada’s chief trade senior aide to former finance minister Bill Morneau and negotiator to the U.S., Janice Charette, speak to the media in Washington in June. ANNA ROSE LAYDEN/REUTERS helped shepherd Ottawa’s initial response to the pandemic. The federal government has undergone a dramatic shift in political culture since Mr. Arseneau was last in Ottawa in 2018 – away from social and climate issues and toward the economy. Prime Minister Mark Carney has made growing Ottawa ponders concessions the economy, dramatically expanding energy exports and diversifying trade top priorities.

Crews on ships in the Persian Gulf stuck at sea Unable to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, many are running out of food and medicine
PAUL WALDIE EUROPE CORRESPONDENT LONDON
T he desperate WhatsApp messages land so frequent- ly that Mohamed Arrachedi can barely keep up. They’re from seafarers on hundreds of cargo ships and oil tankers stuck in the Persian Gulf, forgotten hostages of the war in Iran and the battle over control of the Strait of Hor- muz. Most of the mariners are from the Philippines and India, but there are also plenty of Africans, Indonesians, Burmese, Ukrai- nians and others. Some tell Mr. Arrachedi, a co-ordinator with the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), that they haven’t been paid in months. Others say they’re run- ning low on food, water, medi- cine and hope. “Please, please captain help us A drone view shows vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

When the Orange Wave crashed over Que- bec in 2011, it famously left a high-water mark of 59 MPs in its wake – a remarkable and anomalous tally for the NDP. That was 15 years ago. Today, with Alex- andre Boulerice leaving federal politics and a by-election looming in his Montreal riding, the party has been left temporarily seatless in the province again, as it has been for most of its history. Newly elected federal NDP Leader Avi Lewis is trying to stem that tide. He spent most of July in Quebec improving his French and knocking on doors, trying to solve the puzzle of New Democratic futil- ity in what is arguably Canada’s most pro- gressive political culture. In an interview with The Globe and Mail, he described the conundrum as “one of the enduring mys- teries of Canadian politics.” After all, the party and the province agree on many things, notably the impor- tance of the environment and a strong so- cial safety net. For decades, however, the NDP failed to break through in Quebec, and now appears to be sliding back into ir- relevance east of Cornwall, Ont. Making matters more personal for Mr. Avi Lewis is pictured at La Sala Rossa in Montreal in July.

Thai teen kills seven in country’s worst mass killing since 2022 CHALINEE THIRASUPA PANARAT THEPGUMPANAT BANG KRUAI, THAILAND
A Thai teenager killed at least five people and himself at a school outside Bangkok on Fri- day after fatally shooting his grandparents, police said, in the Southeast Asian nation’s worst mass killing since 2022. Those killed at the school were all teachers and staff and police said the 14-year-old shoo- ter, a student, fired at least 26 bullets using a gun that belonged to his grandfather. An additional 34 rounds were found, police said. Students streamed out of the Debsirin Nonthaburi School, on the capital’s northwestern out- skirts, as the wounded were loaded onto ambulances and teachers hugged each other and cried.

WHY FANO FIGHTS
Behind the lines with insurgents in Ethiopia
STORY AND PHOTOS BY SIEGFRIED MODOLA MAJETE, ETHIOPIA
E
thiopia is at a crossroads. Prime Minister
Abiy Ahmed, whose Prosperity Party won
a majority of the vote in June’s general
election, envisions a unified, centralized
country.
But many opposition politicians, who did not
participate in the election amid allegations of
repression, do not. They argue that ethnic federal-
ism had been a feature of the country’s government
for many years and want greater regional autonomy.
The disagreements are playing out on the ground
on three fronts and risk fracturing Africa’s second-
most populous country, home to 135.5 million peo-
ple.
In the Tigray region, in Ethiopia’s north, tensions
remain high after a 2020-22 civil war that killed hun-
dreds of thousands of people.
Mr. Abiy is also dealing with two insurgencies.
One is in the largest state, Oromia, where the Oromo
Liberation Army has been fighting the military in
the region surrounding the capital since 2018.
The second is in the Amhara region and is led by
Fano.
Fano – Amharic for “freedom fighter” – is a coali-
tion of ethno-nationalist militias that recently uni-
fied as the Amhara Fano National Movement. Its
objectives range from changing the constitution to
overthrowing the federal government. In the war in
Tigray, the group was accused of human-rights
abuses.
With thousands of fighters, it has built a formid-
able reputation over the past three years as the
defender of the Amhara, Ethiopia’s second-largest
ethnic group after the Oromo people.
Fano is fighting from bases in the rugged and
impenetrable highlands of north-central Ethiopia.
It was here that Mussolini’s colonial forces were
pushed back and defeated in 1941. The current con-
flict in Amhara with the government in Addis Aba-
ba, Fano says, is also existential.
Asalif Desta, Fano’s commander-in-chief of mil-
itary operations in Shewa province, accuses the Eth-
iopian military of killing indiscriminately.
“When they enter towns, they kill civilians. They
arrest our people just because they are Amhara.

He built his church in Moscow, a small city in the rural reaches of eastern Idaho, a place distant from the nearest city or even the nearest interstate. For decades, Mr. Wilson was a Christian nationalist in a nation that paid him little heed. Yet the Idaho preacher is no longer a voice in the wilderness. In the 1990s, he counted three congregations in the Cal- vinist denomination he founded, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. He’s now at 170, with a global church body in the tens of thousands, in- cluding in Canada. Podcasters and You- Tubers are bringing his brand of Christian- ity to new audiences.

One is in Washington, a new church whose congregants include U.S. Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth and more than a dozen members of the Trump administra- tion, many of them from the Pentagon. In February, Mr. Wilson was invited there to pray − the Christian nationalist now at the heart of the country’s power. Mr. Wilson calls it all a new moment for the U.S., as the philosophies he developed in Idaho take root in the capital and far beyond. The Washington service “has only been going for a little over a year. Which means, as church plants go, this is wildly successful. So − very pleased.

molestation and, possibly, adultery.
When it comes to the law of the land,
the only guardrails, he said, “are the holy
scripture, in my view.”
Not far from Nashville, another group is
working to build that vision in wood and
concrete. They’re also provoking a back-
lash.
The drone camera passes over a burbling
creek and onto Tennessee farmland
drenched in green, fringed with forest and
bursting with birdsong. It is empty, but in-
viting, a place Josh Abbotoy hopes will
one day become a rural home for a group
of like-minded Christians.
At its heart, the plans suggest, will be a
church pastored by Andrew Isker, a man
who studied at a school founded by Mr.
Wilson in Moscow and who worked along-
side the Idaho pastor. Any parishioners
willing to buy in can build their own home
alongside that church, creating a commu-
nity that turns Sunday gatherings into ev-
eryday life.
What Mr. Abbotoy is selling is a transfig-
uration into real estate of the ideas that
have drawn others to Mr. Wilson’s church,
a search for old patterns in a new age.

As people like Mr. Isker have moved into the place she calls home, she has spent the better part of 100 hours listening to podcasts and reading books by the movement’s public faces − and has grown profoundly uncomfortable with what she has found. “They want to take us back to pre-Civil War-era America. And I look at pre-Civil War America and say, ‘Wow, don’t think you really realize what that means,’ ” she said. She grew up in a church attended by Ghanaians and Ugandans.

Abso- lutely not.” The Christian nationalists say they want to restore things to the way they were. But Ms. Galloway has personal expe- rience of what that means. She grew up in a homesteading family. The walls of her family home were not completed until she reached Grade 5. “What they’re selling to everybody, I pretty much lived it,” she said. “Like, you are trying to pretend to be like me − but you’re a poseur.” Her dislike for the new arrivals is so strong that she has contemplated running for local office to block those moving to the area from positions of influence. Rayn Galloway, who lives in Nameless, Tenn., is a committed opponent of Mr. Wilson’s movement.

It means that in Idaho, like elsewhere, moves toward Christian nationalism are “already happening,” Mr. Gier said. Some candidates, too, are finding new strength. In late May, Colton Bennett, an Idaho conservative who has been openly supported by Mr. Wilson, won a primary election to become a Republican candidate for the state legislature. He declined to an- swer when asked whether he belongs to a congregation affiliated with Mr. Wilson, saying his supporters “go to a variety of churches and some go to no church at all. I am grateful for the support of all these peo- ple, religious and otherwise,” he said. But Mr. Gier called Mr. Bennett’s election “a major victory for them.” In this part of Idaho, he is expected to “cruise to easy vic- tory.” Mr. Wilson, for his part, says having the church on city council is not yet a goal − although it will be. “The plan is to establish Moscow as a Christian town within the next 50 years. I would say we’re right on schedule,” he said. By that point, he expects half of the local population to be in church on Sunday, one of many steps toward building the U.S. as a superpower of Christendom. At the beginning, his church numbered 30 people in Moscow. It now counts 100 times that in the region. Kids attend Chris- tian schools, study Christian textbooks and play Christian football under the guid- ance of Christian coaches − all of them men, “because the boys wouldn’t listen” to women, Mr. Wilson said.

Maureen Halushak leaves Chatelaine with hope Departing editor-in-chief describes the Canadian publication as ‘a form of community’
ANN HUI GENERATIONS REPORTER
F or almost a century, Chatelaine has been a staple in Canadian house- holds. Since 1928, the magazine – whether tucked into women’s hand- bags on the subway, or sitting in neat stacks at the doctor’s office – has quietly docu- mented the stories of women in Canada, from the rise of the birth control pill to the fight for equal pay. Last month, the magazine’s editor-in- chief, Maureen Halushak, announced she will be stepping down after seven years, and moving to a job with the Alzheimer So- ciety of Canada (her mother suffered from the disease). The Globe spoke with Halushak to dis- cuss the state of print media, the changes she’s seen at the magazine and what Chate- laine represents in 2026.

Drying Danube River reveals Nazi-era vessels Record heat leads to lower water levels, exposing wrecks from Second World War
LYNSEY CHUTEL ALISA DOGRAMADZIEVA BELGRADE, SERBIA
Serbia this week started pulling a sunken Nazi-era fleet out of the Danube River, where lowered water levels caused by extreme heat have exposed some of the vessels and created a headache for cap- tains trying to navigate around them. Near the end of the Second World War, Germany sank more than 200 of its own ships in the Danube in eastern Serbia, try- ing to block the Soviet Union’s forces as they advanced up the river. One or two rusted hulks have peeked above the water’s surface nearly every summer. This year, however, residents of the nearby port town of Prahovo have count- ed at least a dozen – the latest visible sign that heat waves in Europe are becoming more frequent and more brutal. “The wrecks appear almost every year, sometimes more, sometimes less,” said Igor Skodric, a local fisherman. “But this year the water level is extremely low, so ships have emerged that do not usually appear every year.” The Danube, Europe’s second-longest river, winds through 10 countries, from People walk on a sandbank on the Danube River where usually submerged areas are exposed amid exceptionally low water levels Germany’s Black Forest to the Black Sea. in Rasova, Romania, on Friday.

She also noted that both the International Ener- gy Agency and the Intergovernmental Panel on Cli- mate Change have concluded that carbon manage- ment technologies will be necessary to achieve net- zero emissions. But there’s been very little said about the poli- tics of it all. It’s possible Mr. Carney is open to using government coffers for Pathways because the pro- ject enables more oil production, and that could help quell separatism in Alberta. And it’s possible Mr. Trump’s trade war has made him re-evaluate things. The next decade could be bumpy as Canada diversifies away from the U.S., and one of the best ways to cushion that economic blow is to produce more oil. Or maybe Mr. Carney simply boxed himself into a corner and fears looking silly after demanding “no Pathways, no pipeline.” Either way, the expensive, watered-down project seems at odds with the PM’s own words in 2022.

Investment: Officials to compile deal book that will serve as conversation starter FROM B1
But few of them are fully fleshed out or ready to put shovels in the ground. Part of the summit’s draw is Mr. Carney, who built his reputa- tion as a central banker and busi- nessman, and personally sent invitation letters to many of the summit’s guests. And some of the heightened interest is a result of the continuing shakeup of global trade and security alliances set in motion by U.S. President Donald Trump. As Canada is locked in a trade war with the United States and engaged in intensifying talks about the future of North Amer- ican free trade, Mr. Carney’s push to diversify Canada’s relation- ships is aligning with a period where investors are rethinking where to deploy their capital. That has created a finite chance to turn heightened inter- est in Canada into durable rela- tionships and get investment dol- lars flowing. While the world’s financial elite are listening, there is pressure to show that the coun- try is serious and has shed a repu- tation for being too timid. “In business, when the win- dow opens that your customer is receptive, you’ve got to take that opportunity,” Canada Pension Plan Investment Board chief Part of the summit’s draw is Prime Minister Mark Carney, who built his reputation as a central banker and businessman, and personally sent executive John Graham said in an invitation letters to many of the summit’s guests.

Should Renata downsize for her heirs? Planner says mother should weigh the alternatives and consider factors such as assisted living and comfort DIANNE MALEY
FINANCIAL FACELIFT
F ive years ago, Renata sold her small Beaches-area con- do in Toronto and bought a larger, more expensive one on a better street. She used what is called a reverse mortgage to pur- chase the new condo for roughly $1.4-million, because her income wasn’t high enough to qualify for a conventional mortgage. Unlike conventional mortgag- es, reverse mortgages increase as time goes by. The borrower gives up home equity in return for not having to make payments. Renata is 75 and divorced, with two sons in their 50s. Her munici- pal government pension, Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Securi- ty benefits add up to more than $50,000 a year. “I bought my condo at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and wanted to escape my smaller DUANE COLE/THE GLOBE AND MAIL condo, with its tiny balcony,” Re- nata writes in an e-mail. “I feared that home might be valued at that lockdown might be long, more than $1-million with to- and my location by Woodbine day’s purchasing power, Mr. Beach was invaded by crowds of CLIENT SITUATION MacKenzie says. partiers and was extremely Or instead of a HELOC, she noisy.” could try to get a $70,000 con- The bigger condo, which she (Income, expenses, assets and The payoff: A path to putting generate the same retirement ventional mortgage to help pay has been living in since 2021, has liabilities provided by the appli- herself on a more secure foot- income. off the reverse mortgage, but she three bedrooms (one serves as a cant.) ing. would have to make monthly studio) and a large deck. “I Monthly outlays: Condo fees payments of principal and inter- stretched my means to purchase The person: Renata, 75.

Here’s how a workplace pension plan for all Canadians could work The system needs to change dramatically so that all Canadians are able to retire in dignity
FREDERICK VETTESE
OPINION
Former chief actuary of Morneau Shepell (now Telus Health) and author of Retirement Income for Life
C anada’s retirement income system is seriously flawed. To explain the problem, it is helpful to understand how the system currently works. It is made up of three tiers, as set out in the table below. Tier 1 includes three government- sponsored programs, Tier 2 holds workplace pension plans and Tier 3 is where individuals can save on their own, primarily using RRSPs and TFSAs. Nearly everyone is eligible for Tiers 1 and 3, but not Tier 2. That’s because employers can choose whether to sponsor a Canada’s three-tiered retirement income system in practice favours some over others.

Niewiadoma-Phinney wins Mont Ventoux stage 2024 champion is in front with just two more stages to go
MONT VENTOUX, FRANCE
Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney launched a decisive attack up Mont Ventoux to win the seventh stage of the Women’s Tour de France and take the overall lead from Mar- len Reusser on Friday. The 2024 champion was in tears as she put on the yellow jersey and now leads 2023 champion Demi Vollering by 15 sec- onds and Reusser by 39 with two stages left. “I’m just so tired and so blown away with what just happened,” Niewiadoma- Phinney said. “When I started climbing I looked to the right and I saw my parents standing on the roadside. They came today by surprise. I saw my father yelling for me and I thought I had to make him proud.” Reusser and Vollering could not follow Niewiadoma-Phinney when she broke away about nine kilometres from the top of Ventoux, one of the most iconic climbs in cycling with its barren, lunar aspect.

The process of obtaining a correction can be surprisingly time-consuming. Most grocery apps allow customers to dispute charges, but in my experience, those dis- putes are not always resolved. On several recent occasions, I was forced to call the store directly, explain the problem, provide photographs and follow up again to obtain a refund. What bothers me most is not the occa- sional mistake. Errors happen in any retail environment. What concerns me is the expectation that consumers should absorb the cost of finding and fixing those errors. If a retailer’s systems regularly generate price discrepancies, the burden should not fall on shoppers to document evidence, navigate complaint systems, and chase down refunds. Customers are paying for convenience. They should not have to per- form quality-control checks after every order arrives. Online grocery shopping is no longer a niche service. For families juggling work and child care, seniors with mobility chal- lenges and people without easy access to transportation, it has become an essential part of how they buy food. As more Canadians move their grocery shopping online, pricing transparency mat- ters more than ever. Consumers should be able to trust that the price displayed at checkout is reasonably close to the price they will ultimately pay. And when mis- takes occur, correcting them should be sim- ple and automatic.

The lingering questions of the pandemic T he fault lines of American politics have been on full display over the last couple of weeks, as Republican senators try to eviscerate Anthony Fauci over his sup- posed missteps and misstatements in the U.S. pandemic re- sponse. Republican Senator Rand Paul led that effort last week to grill Dr. Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Al- lergy and Infectious Diseases, on a longstanding laundry list of questions, most notably the origins of the COVID-19 virus. For his part, Dr. Fauci declined to provide answers, invok- ing the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times, despite re- ceiving a pardon from former president Joe Biden that shields him from federal prosecution for any official actions he took between Jan. 1, 2014 and Jan. 19, 2025. But that pardon would not shield him from prosecution for subsequent ac- tions. And the Republican-dominated committee voted Thursday to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress, which could result in the Justice Department prosecuting him. There’s no avoiding the tawdriness of Mr. Rand’s drama. That doesn’t excuse Dr. Fauci, a retired public servant, from his failure to provide answers not just to a Republican sen- ator, but to the American people.

GAY RIGHTS ACTIVIST LEAVES A
LASTING LEGACY IN MONTREAL
After a gruelling six-year legal battle, his marriage to long-time partner
René LeBoeuf in 2004 was the first same-sex wedding in Quebec

cence in 1998 to wed his
long-time partner, René
LeBoeuf, the clerk at the Montreal
courthouse was flummoxed. No, no,
she said, this won’t do – there has to
be a husband and a wife.
Well, Mr. Hendricks replied, I do the
cooking, so I guess that makes me the
wife, and René does the dishes, so he
must be the husband.
That streak of irreverent defiance
would eventually see Mr. Hendricks
and Mr. LeBoeuf become the first gay
couple married in Quebec.
But the joyful occasion in April,
2004, came after a gruelling six-year
legal battle and a decades-long strug-
gle for gay rights that included the
darkest days of the AIDS crisis and the
systemic homophobia that enabled it.
Having seen friends evicted from
apartments and left with nothing af-
ter the deaths of their partners in the
1980s and 1990s, Mr. Hendricks was
determined to secure full legal status
for gay couples.
When Mr. Hendricks died on July 18
at the age of 84, Mr. LeBoeuf had the
same protections as any other widow-
er.
But Mr. Hendricks’s activism ex-
tended far beyond the gay communi-
ty, and a range of Montrealers are bet-
ter off because of him. A native of New

CHRISTOPHER WATERS
WATERS ON WINE
W hile lighter and brighter red wines continue to increase in popularity, especially in the summer when chillable styles offer a richer alternative to rosé, there’s still demand for big, bold flavours. Full-bodied cabernets and plush red blends remain a go-to style for barbecues and other hearty meals. As a result, there are two considerations for selecting wines for Au- gust. There’s need to stock up on wines that offer refreshment as well as ones with flavours to savour. This week’s recommendations focus on some of my favourite fresh expressions – two whites, a rosé and chillable red from Sicily – that have mouth-watering appeal as well as big, bold and concentrated reds that offer more bang for your buck. The two current releases from the south of France show the robust, sun-baked character – and terrific value for money prospect – of grenache-based blends that feel fresh rather than heavy.

PIZZA MARU LOUGHEED, BURNABY, B.C.
The Pizza Maru franchise is best known for its signature green-tea pizza
dough and Korean combinations. Originating in Korea, the chain has a
staggering 650 stores worldwide (and counting), including outlets in Toron-
to, Vancouver and Calgary.
First-time business owner and former banker Seong Pyo and his family
opened the Lougheed branch in February, 2024. Having moved from Seoul to
Canada’s West Coast in December, 2019, he thought he’d open a sushi restau-
rant. As time went on, he settled on the pizza franchise. “When I came to
Canada, I tried a lot of pizza, but I never saw any with seafood toppings, like
shrimp. I thought that differentiation could become a real strength.”
That hunch proved to be correct. Today, 80 per cent of orders feature
Pizza Maru’s “Signature Shrimbul” (shrimp, beef bulgogi, sweet ranch sauce,
paprika seasoning and sour cream). According to the co-owner, other com-
binations – like the Korean bulgogi (marinated beef with pizza sauce,
cheese, mushrooms and bell peppers) and “Holy Honey Sweet Potato”
(diced sweet potato, sweet potato mousse, corn and onion) – are also prov-
ing popular among Koreans and non-Koreans alike. “Sweet pizzas: Koreans
love them.”
As the co-owner reflects on his journey to owning a business, he shares
how slinging pizzas was a nostalgic choice for him. “When I was young, my
mom would buy me pizza from Pizza Hut on special days like my gradua-
tion,” he says. “I cannot forget that time. I always used to order a combina-
tion pizza, so every time I eat pizza, it reminds me of little me.”

Skincare: For these Canadians, how much they spend on their skin has more to do with lo FROM P1
Carlene Higgins, 51
Co-host of Breaking Beauty podcast
and founder of Cassatt Beauty
How much I spend on my skin in a year
I am a huge believer in lasers now, and
I spend around $4,000 a year on two sea-
sonal sessions. And I spend approximately
$1,200 to $1,500 a year on skin care, buying
a mix of drugstore staples and luxurious
hydrators. I understand what my skin needs
more now, so I don’t waste money on, say,
an eye cream that I would never use.
How I take care of my skin
I developed perimenopausal-onset rosacea
in my late 40s, with flare-ups of redness,
itching and sometimes UV sensitivity. It was
recommended that I seek laser treatment.
I go in the spring and the fall and do three
to five sessions a month apart. I alternate
between Excel V+, to target spider veins,
and BroadBand Light that focuses on dark
spots. It really helps with my redness and
stimulates collagen production. I can’t
believe how much clearer and smoother
my skin is now. It’s a game-changer.
Previously I would get minimal Botox
to achieve a brow lift effect, but then – not
because of Botox – I started developing
ptosis, which is very common age-related
drooping eyelids. I got a blepharoplasty to
correct it, which was around $10,000.

Shari Koffman, 57
On-air beauty expert
How much I spend on my skin in a year
I spend around $2,000 on skin care
products and about $5,000 on Botox
and laser treatments each year. I do
a morning and evening skin care
routine with five to six products. A
few are from the drugstore but the
majority you’d find in a dermatol-
ogist’s or plastic surgeon’s office. I
like SkinCeuticals and Alastin. I look
for products that are science-backed
with good clinical studies behind
them. I want to see results.
How I take care of my skin
I never skip applying vitamin C and
SPF in the morning and I never miss
doing my skin care routine at night,
no matter how tired I am.
Once a year, I’ll do a laser
treatment, like Halo or a BroadBand
Light, for dark spots. I’ve been
doing lasers for the past five years
to clear up all the damage from
baking in the sun in my mid-20s. I
tried Intense Pulsed Light treatment
(IPL) in my 40s, it faded spots, but
the minute summer hit they would
come back. Laser seems to work
better.
I do Botox usually twice a year on
my forehead, the lines between my
brows and crow’s feet. Now that I’m
in postmenopause, I do my neck-
bands and jawline for a bit of a lift.
I do like the results – I don’t like
some of the side effects. With Botox
in the neck, if I’m doing sit-ups,
which I do a lot of, that can feel kind
of heavy on my neck. It’s a trade-off.
About two years ago I had an
upper blepharoplasty to fix ptosis.
And I’ve done two rounds of fat
transfer under my eyes to fix
hollowness. In my 40s, I had some
filler underneath the eyes, and it
was great for years. When I went
into menopause, something wonky
happened – it started to move and
I was getting puffiness.
How I feel about aging
Confidence is the best thing that
comes out of menopause. I’m not
concerned with looking younger,
but I am concerned with looking the
best I can for where I am in my life
right now.

ooking and feeling their best – and a good SPF
Omita Mansur, 59
Retired financial manager
How much I spend on my skin in a year
In my skin care routine I focus on
four things: cleansing, moisturizing,
exfoliating and protecting. I prefer
oils to creams and I’ve been using a
$36 Mad Hippie face oil for the past
decade. For the past few years I’ve
been putting on an SPF 40, before
that I used a face cream with a
lower SPF in it for 20-something
years. I don’t wear makeup daily, but
if I’m going out then I use a tinted
moisturizer with SPF in it. Every few
months I’ll use an overnight sheet
face mask. I spend about $600 a year,
which usually includes a restorative
facial with lymphatic drainage and
red-light therapy.
How I take care of my skin
I feel that what goes in my body,
like healthy eating, is more important
than surface fixes. I’m sensitive to
anything harsh and I haven’t done
any injections. Voluntarily sticking
needles in my face is just not
something that I would do. I’m not
even good at wearing nail polish,
it feels smothering.
How I feel about aging
I don’t mind aging. Physically,
obviously, there’s lots of things that
have changed. My skin tone is not as
even, I’ve got frown lines, my lids are
droopy. But I feel like your face really
reflects the life you’ve lived. I’ve been
through lots of difficult and amazing
things, and I’m happy to be here
still standing and feeling strong.
My mom recently passed away.
She was a very spirited person, and
she looked young because of her
spirit. I feel that is more important.
The creases and the softness in my
skin that has replaced the tight,
firm skin is a testament to what
I’ve experienced. I feel like I’ve
been tenderized.

I just don’t want to allot the money.
How I feel about aging
Making it to 50 is a real gift.
As an aging gay man, we don’t
have a lot of elders because many
people from the generation before
died of AIDS. It’s my privilege and
duty to be a role model for the
younger generation. My mantra is:
‘I’m happy, I’m healthy, I’m whole
and I’m full.’ I’m good enough as
I am – turning 50 made me feel
a lot more confident.

Based on a popular Québécois franchise run by Julie Snyder’s Productions J, Temptations Under the Sun sees 17 scantily-clad Cana- dians converge on Cyprus to play what’s essentially a 10-episode game of spin the bottle.
