The mayor and I, we’re good: Premier OUTPATIENTS
McNeil explains Bayers Lake clinic position Haley Ryan
Metro | Halifax The premier says he still has a strong relationship with Mayor Mike Savage, but he’ll accept
“some responsibility” for what he called a misunderstanding around the future Bayers Lake outpatients clinic. Premier Stephen McNeil sat down with Metro on Tuesday afternoon to talk election issues. When asked whether he was taken aback a couple weeks ago to hear Savage say he was “surprised” by the Liberals’ Bayers Lake decision — when McNeil had said they’d consulted HRM — the premier said “part of

that is a lack of understanding of the actual plan.” “I’ll accept some responsibility for that, but what we’re talking about is an outpatients clinic that’s going out to Bayers Lake where the bulk of the population are coming in ... from (Highway) 103, the 102,” McNeil said. At the end of April, Savage had also said it would be a challenge for the city to provide frequent transit service to the
Bayers Lake site. However, McNeil said that’s not necessary since those outpatient services will stay downtown at a centre in the improved Halifax Infirmary site, so anyone on the peninsula wouldn’t need to make their way to Bayers Lake. “There was a myth being spread around that we were pulling all of these services off the peninsula. It couldn’t be further from the truth,” Mc-
ary improvements and Bayers Lake clinic are part of the “overall plan” to streamline hospital care in HRM, including bringing the number of operating rooms in Dartmouth General from four to eight, likely specializing in orthopaedic surgeries.

Neil said. For the 60 per cent of the population that comes from outside HRM, McNeil said, “We don’t need to funnel them downtown for post-op conversations, dialysis … when we can do that in a new clinic out where all of the main arteries converge,” while also enhancing the infirmary because that will continue to be the main tertiary care facility.

Sandeson’s roommate told not to come home court

Accused relayed message before it’s alleged he killed Samson
The trial resumes Wednesday morning for lawyers to deal with a legal issue, and the jury will be back at 2 p.m.
Zane Woodford
Metro | Halifax William Sandeson told his roommate not to come home the night he’s accused of killing Taylor Samson, the jury in his first-degree murder trial heard Tuesday. Sandeson, 24, is accused of killing Samson, 22, the night of Saturday, Aug. 15, 2015. Samson’s remains have never been found. In Nova Scotia Supreme Court on Tuesday afternoon, Dylan Zinck, who had been living with Sandeson at 1210 Henry St. for nearly a year at the time, said Sandeson told him not to come home after 8 p.m. that night. Zinck said Sandeson had made similar requests before, but they weren’t “overly common,” and usually, Sandeson

would ask him not to be home for an hour at the most. Zinck told the jury he was home briefly at about 7:30 p.m. the night of Aug. 15 to feed his cat, and was back at about 11:30 p.m. the next night, Sunday, Aug. 16, 2015. Both nights, he
said the apartment was clean. On the Sunday night, Zinck said he and Sandeson had a short conversation in which Sandeson told him he’d thrown out the shower curtain from their bathroom. He didn’t think that was odd, he said, as the

Third candidate withdraws because of old online posts
Inappropriate, sexist and homophobic language left lingering on the Internet has been exacting a toll on the list of political hopefuls in Nova Scotia’s election, with a third candidate forced to withdraw Tuesday. The Tories sent out a terse news release Tuesday afternoon noting that its candidate for Dartmouth South, Jad Cmogorac, was being dropped because of her social media postings. Her postings included an off-colour date rape joke. The withdrawal came a day after CTV News published excerpts from the Bullpen website of Dartmouth East candidate Bill McEwen, a youthful prospect for the NDP in a riding that appeared to be a hard-fought contest.
The former military officer and journalist had attempted to take the website down — after not posting on it since 2013 — but someone managed to find it from a cached archive. In addition to derogatory terms for gay people, the opening statement of the site’s mission noted, “in a world of breast implants, fast food and cheap beer, what’s not to love about being a man.” McEwen submitted his resignation — though under election rules his name will still appear on the ballot, as will Cmogorac’s. McEwen said he is supportive of equal rights and apologized for what he called misogynistic comments that reflect poor judgement. NDP Leader Gary Burrill said
his party — which is the only one in the May 30 election to have gender balance in its slate — was upset to discover comments it considered to be contrary to the NDP’s basic principles. “We take candidate vetting very seriously. We give it a lot of effort. But it’s like a lot of things, your best effort doesn’t accomplish the goal,” he said. Nova Scotia Liberal candidate Matthew MacKnight was dropped over comments he made on social media in 2013. The Pictou East candidate purportedly called someone an expletive and used the hashtags #downsyndrome and #stupidcustomers on May 28, 2013, according to Global News. The Canadian Press
curtain was mouldy. The jury also heard testimony from Halifax Regional Police forensic officer Det. Const. Illya Nielsen, who said he searched Sandeson’s car, a Chestnut Street house, and a farm property in Truro.
At the Chestnut Street house, where Sandeson’s brother Adam lived, Nielsen seized a box, a backpack, and a grocery bag, all containing vacuumsealed bags of marijuana. Nielsen brought those bags of marijuana — totalling 20 pounds — to court with him on Tuesday, along with the box and bags they were in when he found them. Evidence found at the Sandeson farm property in Truro, which was searched extensively in August 2015, was also brought into court. That included an Adidas bag found in what the defence described as an “ice cream truck” on the Sandeson property, along with a large, black duffel bag found inside that bag, and a shower curtain found in a garbage bag in the same truck on the property.

Trump’s sharing ‘wholly appropriate’
The White House on Tuesday defended President Donald Trump’s disclosure of classified information to senior Russian officials as “wholly appropriate,” as officials tried to beat back criticism from fellow Republicans and concerns from international allies. One day after officials declared that reports about Trump’s discussions with the Russians were false, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said the president had been engaging in “routine sharing of information” with other foreign leaders. Trump himself claimed the au-
thority to share “facts pertaining to terrorism” and airline safety with Russia, saying in a pair of tweets he has “an absolute right” as president to do so. Trump’s tweets did not say whether he revealed classified information about Daesh, as published reports have said and as a U.S. official said. The official said the information Trump divulged came from a U.S. intelligence partner. The revelations sent a White House accustomed to chaos reeling anew and drew rare serious criticism of the president from some Republicans. His action

Tim Harper On the NDP’s answer to Trudeau
None of the other candidates are going to burn their brand into Canadian sensibilities or set hearts aflutter like Jagmeet Singh. Does the road to federal political success in this country run through the pages of GQ? It probably shouldn’t. But Justin Trudeau certainly understands the value of the glossy magazine spread and Jagmeet Singh also knows precisely how style can provide a foundation for policy and political prose. And if you are a New Democrat intent on getting back into the ring after being dealt a knockout blow in 2015, you should probably take a moment from your search for the earnest party stalwart and take a look at the path being followed by Singh, who wants to usher in a new era for your bruised party. Style cannot be dismissed in politics, because, despite the iconic quote, it is not always show business for ugly people. At a Brampton, Ont., banquet hall Monday, Ontario NDP MPP and GQ poster boy Singh launched his federal leadership bid, jumping into the race which has so far crawled under the radar for the vast majority of Canadians. The top four contenders before Monday night were federal caucus members Charlie Angus, Niki Ashton, Peter Julian and Guy Caron. All bring strengths to the table, particularly Angus, with his tireless and effective work on Indigenous issues that have so far received more lip service than action from the Trudeau Liberals. But none of them are going to burn their brand into Canadian sensibilities or set hearts aflutter. Singh gives Canadians outside the party a reason to look

before he spoke, his suit bespoke The crowd at Jagmeet Singh’s leadership campaign launch was the most diverse Tim Harper has seen at an NDP event in decades. The Canadian Press lane. His decision on one front — though long rumoured — requires a certain audacity, given his youth (38), his lack of federal experience and national profile. If you wait until “your time,’’ that time may never come and Singh may have calculated perfectly. This may be his time. He was able to put more people in one room for his kickoff than the other four leading candidates combined. It was a younger crowd, it was the most diverse crowd at an NDP event I have ever seen in almost three decades of enduring such evenings and, in keeping with the man they came to see, it was a stylish gathering.

He will likely need someone to help him navigate the federal scene, his own Gerry Butts, who shepherded Trudeau from the third place valley to the mountain of power.

New Democrats are about to find out whether this is just a guy in a well-tailored suit, or a man of heft in bespoke threads. Many seem prepared to bet on the latter.

Appropriation may not matter to you, but it does to me metro edmonton
Danielle Paradis
As an Indigenous writer, I spend a lot of time hearing white people talk about me. This past week it was about the right of other people to tell Indigenous stories. It started with an article in The Writers’ Union of Canada’s magazine, which stirred up a quarterly debate: appropriation versus appreciation. Hal Niedzviecki, the nowformer editor of the mag, penned a piece saying he didn’t believe in the concept of cultural appropriation. Cue the anger, cue the backlash. The TWUC issued an apology, and predictably, after Niedzviecki resigned, the scandal sheets came out in force. The old white guard of Canadian journalism, including Jonathan Kay, who has now resigned from The Walrus, rallied against what they consider liberalism and identity politics run amok. Whenever this happens, the lack of diversity in media is usually the root cause. Critics of cultural appropriation remain wilfully ignorant of what it means. As writer Ijeoma Oluo so eloquently puts it, “Cultural appropriation is the misuse of a group’s art and culture by someone with the power to redefine that art and, in the process, divorce it from the people who originally created it.” For example, when paint-
er Amanda PL was alleged to have borrowed heavily from the Anishinabe painter Norval Morrisseau. Her Toronto exhibit was cancelled. When PL and other nonIndigenous artists take inspiration from Indigenous people they often erase the historical context of the art. The first time I witnessed cultural appropriation it was a First Nations elder wearing a Métis scarf. To wear a Métis sash without respecting our unique identity from First Nations is to erase our culture — something that the government has already tried. But when the appropriation conversation occurs in the snowdrift that is Canadian media, it becomes mostly white people scolding other white people. Relying on mainstream media sources means most Canadians end up with a limited perspective on our diverse country — and on this very debate. People who are unable to distinguish between First Nations, Métis and Inuit leap to the defence of our cultural heritage but they would be unable to tell you the differences between these groups. For many it may seem like no big deal to be inspired by other cultures. If all things were equal that would be true. Cultural appropriation wouldn’t exist in a world where people listened to one another. But we don’t live in that world. Until Indigenous people reclaim the ability to relay our own experiences in media, there’s going to be backlash when someone else tries to tell the story. Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

Stuck between guac and a hard place housing
Aussie mogul’s millennial jibe missed the real cause of crises Jennifer Wells life@metronews.ca
It would be generous beyond measure to suggest that Australian real estate developer Tim Gurner didn’t anticipate the mess he would be stepping into with his riff on fancy toast. By “fancy toast” we mean to say smashed avocado on toast, which Gurner seized as the apotheosis of millennials, literally, misspending their relative youth. “When I was trying to buy my first home, I wasn’t buying smashed avocado for 19 bucks and four coffees at $4 each,”
Gurner said in an interview with Australian media this week. Telling those locked out of hyper-inflated real estate markets that the solution lies in becoming sharper savers drew excited responses on media sites. “Thanks one per cent!” reads as an especially efficient rejoinder, recognizing that in the markets of Sydney and Melbourne, as with Toronto, real estate is beyond the reach of the vast majority of wishful home owners regardless of how hard they work — and save. Note that in March the Australian Bureau of Statistics compared the five-year 70-per-cent increase in Sydney house prices — that’s not a typo — to average wage increases of 13.2 per cent across the same period. The median house price in Sydney was just shy of $1.2 million (Australian dollars) in April. Yet Gurner stuck to his
istock
smashed avocado thesis. “There’s no question it’s real,” he said in a follow-up radio interview when asked about the whingeing. “I think until the generation realizes that the people that own homes today worked very, very hard for it, saved every dollar, did everything they could to get up the property ladder.” Gurner is a high-profile real estate success story Down Under. Last year, the then 34-year-old
was named Ernst & Young’s emerging Australian entrepreneur of the year. His net worth was pegged at $460 million. The developer professed some degree of sympathy for young workers swamped by aspirational culture. So it’s not just guacamole, he said, but the push to buy the latest iPhone, etcetera. He casts this as different from the two-cars-in-every-garage postwar mandate. “The expectations
of younger people are very, very high,” he said. “They want to eat out every day; they want travel to Europe every year.” Ignored are workers who have saved diligently only to find home prices successively knocked beyond reach. In Sydney, Melbourne, Toronto and Vancouver housing affordability has increasingly created a class divide. Today it’s less about earned income and more about access to capital — the inheritance, the well-off parent. What that means is that home ownership is granted to those who are already favoured in the home ownership sweepstakes. It is unjust. The Australian example is a worthwhile study beyond the musings of Tim Gurner. Consider the similarities to worries at home: rising indebtedness; little to no income growth; historically low interest rates.
Yet the government is eager to be seen addressing the issue of housing affordability. In last week’s federal budget, the Australian government announced a “ghost house” tax on foreign owners, along with a “super saver scheme” to assist wishful first-time home owners. Interestingly, the government is also trying to appeal to potential “downsizers” with a plan that would boost a householder’s pension should the homestead be sold. Freeing up housing stock is the hoped for outcome. Such an idea is helpful in this regard: as a reminder that this housing debacle is not the making of millennials. And it shouldn’t be their task to fix it. If smashed avocado on toast is a comforting way to salve the disappointment of not seeing home ownership in one’s future, it’s actually a small price to pay. torstar news service

Tales from the morgue Sean Plummer Though horror journalism, like all branches of journalism, has largely migrated online, there are still a few worthy magazines exploring the macabre and spooky haunting store shelves. Chief among them is Torontobased Rue Morgue Magazine, which launched 20 years ago. (I write for them.) The magazine, whose mission is to explore “horror in culture and entertainment,” was the brainchild of music journalist Rodrigo Gudiño. With Rue Morgue, Gudiño and his team offered a more nuanced
and intellectual approach to horror than was offered by the likes of their chief competitor, industry icon Fangoria. Instead of focusing on gore-filled photos from Hollywood’s latest fright flicks, RM chose to explore not just film but horror art, books, comics, videogames, music, and even travel. RM soon became a recognized brand, with Gudiño launching a film career under the Rue Morgue Cinema banner and a book imprint called the Rue Morgue Library. It remains Canada’s biggest horror magazine and has the largest circulation of any horror magazine in North America.

The Qashqai packs nearly double the cargo capacity of its funky frog-faced sibling, the Juke, with 648 litres of cargo space, which opens up to 1,730 L with the second row folded flat. Standard are heated seats, available forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and prevention, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, remote engine start, hill start assist, and more. But the Qashqai has missed out on a few key areas. For one, it only has one USB port and it’s not a fast charging one. The car also isn’t compatible with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. And although it is smaller, the Qashqai has the same fuel economy as the Rogue despite having a smaller and less powerful engine. Although it doesn’t rise above its competition, it is non-offensive in nature because it does mostly everything right.

Guiltless Zucchini Carbonara
Directions 1. Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, create ribbons with your zucchini (stop before you get to the core or you’ll have a watery mess).
Ceri Marsh & Laura Keogh
For Metro Canada This low-carb “pasta” feels light while still delivering the decadence of a traditional, creamy carbonara.
2. Over high heat, add the olive oil to a frying pan and add the bacon. Fry until the bacon is crisp. Add the garlic and fry for another minute or so, then remove the bacon and garlic from the pan.
Ready 20 minutes Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Serves 4 Ingredients • 4 small zucchini • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil • 4 slices of pancetta or smoked bacon, diced • 1 clove of garlic, crushed • 2 egg yolks • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated • Salt and pepper to taste
3. In the same pan, sauté the zucchini ribbons for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and rapidly stir in the bacon, garlic, egg yolks and Parmesan cheese. Stir well so you don’t end up with scrambled eggs! Season to taste. for more meal ideas, VISIT sweetpotatochronicles.com
