CP apologizes for train chaosNaheed Nenshi says Can-adian Pacific Railway has apologized for the chaos caused by a train that de-railed after a bridge over the swollen Bow River failed Thursday.

Emergency crews were working to pump all of the oil products off six tanker cars that were teetering on the broken bridge.

The mayor lashed out at the railway Thursday mor-ning, saying he had con-cerns about the timing of the bridge inspection in relation to flooding that swamped the city. He also wondered why railways are exempt from municipal regulations.

Railways are under fed-eral jurisdiction and are responsible for their own inspections.

How is it we dont have regulatory authority over this, but its my guys down there risking their lives to fix it? Nenshi asked.

Certainly once this crisis is over, Ill be looking for a lot of answers from a lot of people.

But on Thursday after-noon, after a conversation with CP CEO Hunter Harri-son, the mayor softened his stance.

He extended an apol-ogy to the citizens of Cal-gary for what has happened here, Nenshi said. We both agreed, No. 1, our primary

responsibility is to get this thing cleaned up and, No. 2, that we will work together much more and he reiterat-ed safety in every commun-ity CP Rail runs through is a primary responsibility.

Harrison said it was clearly a failure of piers at the bottom of the river. The engineers blamed it on fast water scouring away gravel under the support.

We couldnt have seen anything from an inspection on top unless there was se-vere movement as a result of the failure down below, Harrison said.

We would normally have probably put divers in to inspect, but the cur-rent was too fast. Somebody would have drowned if they had tried to go in there, plus the current was so fast, and its so murky, you couldnt do an appropriate inspec-tion.

He also said the bridges failure was as extraordin-ary as the heavy rains and flooding in southern Al-berta. The bridge was built in 1912 and hasnt had a failure like this since 1944, he noted.

Nenshi wondered if re-cent layoffs at CP had any-thing to do with the situa-tion.

Ill be very blunt. Ill probably get in trouble for saying this, Nenshi said. Weve seen a lot of people lose their jobs at CP over the last year. How many bridge inspectors did they fire?

The company, however, said the number of bridge inspectors remained the same.

The derailed cars were

carrying a product used to dilute raw oilsands bitumen. The product is also used as a solvent used in metal polishes, paint thinner, oil-based stains and paint. Five of the cars were full and one empty.

The bridge gave way after most of the train had crossed. Cars that were still on the tracks were pulled away from either end.

Acting Calgary fire chief Ken Uzeloc said crews had strung a cable through the

railcars and secured it to an-other train carrying rocks so that if the bridge gave way, the cars wouldnt be carried down the river.

The last thing we want is these cars floating down the river and causing prob-

lems downstream, Uzeloc said.

Crews were planning to pull another train along a parallel bridge so the cargo could be pumped off and the empty cars safely removed.THE CANADIAN PRESS

East Village could be in dark for weeks

City officials say theyve made progress in re-energizing the downtown but as of Thursday were struggling with the East Village, which could remain without power for weeks, ac-cording to Bruce Burrell.

The director of the Cal-gary Emergency Manage-ment Agency (CEMA) updated media Thursday morning and said ground water in the east end of downtown is posing a problem.

Our biggest challenge still remains the far end of East Village. Its an area where we believe, although we cant be certain because its going to depend on the rate that the ground water drops, but we believe that were talking about poten-tially a few weeks, not days, said Burrell.

Burrell said City Hall and Old City Hall are also in the

area where theyre experi-encing difficulty in re-ener-gizing.

The electricity could be turned on but it wouldnt be safe to do so. Wed probably blow a lot of transformers in a lot of buildings.

Enmax CEO Gianna Manes remained more optimistic about the area, however, say-ing they are aiming to have power to the east end of downtown and the East Vil-lage restored as soon as this weekend.

We are hopeful that some-time into Saturday, well be able to restore all or parts of this part of the city. Theres

a lot of uncertainty here be-cause were continuing to work on some damaged equip-ment and were continuing to work with wet infrastructure but I can tell you that were working on it.

Burrell said generators were being brought in for critical infrastructure and some seniors buildings.

Calgary Zoo. Animals starting to returnGood news for the Calgary Zoo as engineers have deemed habitats structurally sound, al-lowing the animals to return to their enclosures.

The zoo said Thursday that two snow leopards, three red pandas, several muntjac, emu, macaques, peccaries and Red River hogs have been returned to their homes.

We were thrilled to be able to have the inspections go quickly and that some of those key animal habitats are actually sound and safe because there was a lot of concern, said Trish Exton-Parder.

Next will be the lions and tigers, which were expected to be moved back late Thurs-day or Friday.

We can keep (the animals) where they are, she said. With 160 animals, you can appreciate its very tight quarters.

Progress has also been made on the Savannah build-ing, which is home to the hippos and giraffes, though no timeline has been given on when that building will be fit for the animals.

Exton-Parder said the giraffes, who were standing in water for a long period of time during the flooding, are doing better.

The word from animal care is that theyve stabilized ... so much better news.

During cleaning, about 25 cichlids from the Rivers Edge tank and six more piranhas were found dead.

The facility is also experi-encing some power loss but the city has provided gener-ators to power key buildings like the Penguin Plunge. KATIE TURNER/METRO

Abdul Kanji, owner of the Corner Drugstore in the East Village, and Netty Girard, pharmacy tech, work hard to get medication out to displaced seniors onThursday, despite not having power to their building. CandiCe Ward/For Metro

Without power to the East Village, the community was a ghost town Thursday after-noon.

While the riverfront re-mained fairly active with cyclists and runners, the area near the homes was relatively vacant, with most residents of the area still displaced.

One of those residents is Marian Middleton, who was

evacuated from her home on Saturday over a day after the power had already gone out.

Middleton, resident of the Golden Age Club, was back briefly Thursday, but only to have her car towed off the street. She said one of her friends is still living in her home without power.

There are people who just wont leave. A lot of people dont have a place to go, said Middleton.

This is not the first time she has been evacuated from her home.

Just over a year ago, a fire erupted on Middletons floor, and she needed to be evacu-ated by fire crews.

She was out of her home for three months, living in

Motel Village.Middleton and her cat are

now staying with a friend in Tuscany.

But after all the disasters, Middleton said she would never consider moving out or ever living anywhere else

and is looking forward to be-ing home when the power is finally turned back on.

I love it here and I love my apartment. If I won the (Lotto) 6-49, I would want a walk-in bathtub, said Middleton.

Also located in Middle-tons building, the Corner Drugstore reopened its doors Monday to ensure seniors who remain in the area have access to their medications.

We have to take care of our customers, said Abdul Kanji, pharmacist and owner.

The Calgary Municipal Land Corporation said that they and other commun-ity groups are working on a welcome-home package for the seniors once power is re-stored.

A soggy epiphany: Day 5

Last Friday was supposed to be the fifth and final day of Metros Cycling in Calgary series, including my first-per-son account of Day 5 in the bike-commuting experiment I had undertaken.

Well, as with many Calgar-ians, my plans were put on hold due to the flood, so Im catching up now.

I did complete my final commute by bike last week. When I set out for the office early Thursday morning, the rain was already falling quite heavily.

Little did I know how much water we were in for.

Even as I rode to work along the Elbow River Path-way and suddenly found a major section of it under-water in Lindsay Park, I didnt clue in to just how high and how quickly the water was going to rise.

Rather, I simply grumbled and hauled my bike up a set of stairs in search of higher ground, adjusting my route to go through downtown in-stead of along the river trails.

After 56 soaked minutes, I finally arrived at the Metro office and started working on my final column.

My plan was to compare the various routes I had tried all week and issue a verdict on the best one. Well, Ill

deal with that week summar-ily, because what Ive learned since has been even greater.

Basically, cycle commut-ing in Calgary is challenging at best if you dont live and work downtown. I found using a combination of cyc-ling and transit to be the easiest and fastest way to get around, and I imagine this be-comes more true the farther you get from the core.

But my real lesson came with the water that envel-oped so much of our city early Friday morning last week.

When I awoke that day and set out to cover the ef-fects of the rising rivers, I quickly found getting around by car to be impossible in many areas. My bike allowed me to access spots I could never have reached by motor vehicle and thereby find stor-ies and photographs I would have otherwise missed.

I still used my car but al-ways carried my bike in it and opted for two wheels when-ever it was faster or more suit-able. This continued all week, up to and including Thursday, when I circumvented closed roads and used a bike path to find a unique vantage point to photograph the oil cars dangling over the rail bridge in Bonnybrook.

So what Ive discovered overall is that in a city as large and unpredictable as Calgary, multi-modal transport is the way to go. I wont be giv-ing up my car any time soon, but I wont be relying on it, either.

Residents have been with-out power for a full week.

The Calgary Municipal Land Corporation says the area is home to more than 2,000 people.

Cleanup efforts continue at the heavily flood-damaged Scotia-bank Saddledome and while its too soon to say for sure, of-ficials arent ruling out having the facility ready to be a part of the Calgary Stampede.

We are still looking at what-ever can be done to make that happen, said Libby Raines, the Calgary Flames vice-president of building operation.

It will be a tall order, how-ever, given the Stampedes July 5 kickoff date.

Our event floor, the bot-tom level of our building, is a writeoff, Raines said. And that basically is the heart. Thats

where all of the organs of the building live.

Raines reiterated that, con-

trary to earlier reports, the arenas Jumbotron was not damaged by the flood.

The giant screen was sus-pended at its normal trim dur-ing the flood and remained dry, she said, although its control equipment was severely dam-aged. And while few damaged items are salvageable, Raines said some pieces of history may be saved.

Things that were hang-ing on walls team photos, that sort of old memorabilia weve tried to capture and were looking at restoring some of those, she said. Robson FletcheR/metRo

back to school, for one final day

Sounds of children playing filled the schoolyards of Hill-hurst Community school Thursday morning in cele-bration of their last day a celebration that almost didnt take place.

Calgary schools were shut down after massive flooding had paralyzed several com-

munities and transportation around the city, forcing both the citys main school boards to close facilities down.

Seven schools in the city, which are listed on Calgary Board of Educations website, are still in the red zone and those school principals will be in touch with their commun-ities on how to pick up any salvageable belongings and, of course, report cards. All other schools in the city were open Thursday until noon, and all day Friday, for students to retrieve belongings and say goodbye for the summer.

Whether or not schools will be holding alternative community celebrations, or something in the fall, is up to them. Its a community-based decision, CBE spokesperson Megan Geyer said.

Hillhurst Community School had planned a huge sports day for last Friday with Olympic gold medallist Kyle Shewfelt. Boxes of juice, snacks, water and other food for the event were donated to flood relief by the school.

Even though the Hillhurst elementary students had the opportunity to say goodbye for the summer, some stu-dents were still feeling the ef-fects of the flood.

Ive been taking care of my cousin, eight-year-old Kate Bassett said of her recent time off.

Oh, and we got to see a movie.

Flood relieF comes in mAnY diFFerent Forms

Where were you? What did you do? How were you af-fected?

Those are the questions that will kick off nearly every conversation in Calgary for the foreseeable fu-ture. Whats interesting is that all our answers will be different. Some people lost everything, some lost some things, others barely even no-ticed that it happened. Thats Mother Nature for you.

However, since the floods swept through Alberta, our social media feeds have been filled with mud-themed photos that would seemingly indicate that almost every Calgar-ian stepped up and helped those in the affect-ed communities. But thats probably not true. When it doesnt affect you, beyond heavy traffic, it can be hard to grasp the magnitude. Which in my opinion doesnt make you a bad person. If we donated or volunteered every time someone needed something, youd be ex-hausted, broke and Sarah McLachlan would be out of a spokesperson gig.

But since this is our city and somewhere in your heart, you know you should help, its definitely not too late. As we continue to clean up and move to whatever comes next, I think

this is a great time to consider different ways of helping Calgarians, without feeling like you have to give up your entire life.

When the waters began to rise and the power went out, many of our favourite local businesses got hit the worst. From complete loss, to spoiled products, lost wages and rev-enue, in the coming months, the results of the flood could spell doom for our favourite pubs, ice cream shops and clothing stores. Imagine a Calgary without Village Ice Cream or Wurst? Since the moment the power came back on, Ive been making a point of eating and shop-ping local. To me, its a great way of saying to businesses that I value their entrepreneurial spirit and that I dont want them to give up. Its weird how eating a duck confit feels char-itable, but it makes the calories that much more worth it.

The other way you can help? Take a deep breath. Whether you were affected or not, things in Calgary are different, maybe for a while, or maybe forever. Since none of us has ever been through this before, none of us really knows what to do next. But what I do know is that whatever annoys you enough to honk probably isnt important, at least not for the time being. Because this flood changed everyones Calgary story, which is something well never forget.

A simple, kind gesture turned tears of devastation for one Okotoks bride, to tears of joy.

Like a number of brides in southern Alberta, Jennifer Vander Wekken was devas-tated to learn the news that her wedding would have to be relocated due to flooding at her venue.

Set to tie the knot at the Calgary Zoo on July 20, she received a cancellation notice this week, leaving her scrambling to find a re-placement venue that would met the needs of her dream wedding that she and fianc Jason Pardy had planned.

After calling and being turned down by over 15 venues, either because they were booked or damaged themselves, Vander Wekken was facing cancelling the celebration all together.

Then Vander Wekken saw a post on Facebook from The Wedding Pavillion that lit-erally Saved the Date.

We were pretty much on our last hope and we were about to pull the plug, said Vander Wekken.

This is such a huge re-lief.

This one-stop wedding venue has reached out to the community and couples af-

fected by the flood by offer-ing free wedding ceremonies to those whose venues can-celled on them.

We thought that we should do something for these people as we still had space this wedding season, said Colin Maley, operations manager at The Wedding Pa-villion. cAndice WArd/For metro

Members of Canada Task Force 2 could be forgiven for feeling a little underappreciated.

The team of more than 100 volunteer firefighters, para-medics, physicians, engineers and other experts has been working literally day and night for more than a week now, responding to Calgarys flooding crisis.

Theyve been saving people from the raging Bow River. Theyve been pumping out flooded basements by the hundreds. Theyve been doing whatever is needed, whenever its needed.

And yet most people have no idea who they are.

Thats why Im trying to get it out there, logistics specialist

Stephen Nicholl said Thursday, as he gave Metro a tour of the teams camp and operations centre at the Calgary Fire Train-ing Academy.

In publicizing the team, known as CAN-TF2 for short, Nicholl isnt seeking glory or praise. Hes simply hoping for the opportunity to do more work.

Were not looking to promote the name, he said. Were looking to promote the ability to help smaller com-munities that dont know who we are.

Before its current response to the Calgary flood, CAN-TF2s last major deployment was the Slave Lake fire in 2011. But Nicholl believes the team can do much more, especially for smaller communities that need rapid responses for any num-ber of emergency needs.

Weve got a full mobile hos-pital. Weve got search people, rescue specialists, structural

engineers you name it, he said. Were basically meant to be self-sufficient for 10 days on our own. We would move into a community and not draw on any resources of any kind.

Theyve also got gear. Loads of it.

The teams warehouse at the training academy is nor-mally filled to the rafters with everything from generators to medical supplies to ropes and harnesses. This week much of the equipment is out in the field, particularly the water pumps and hoses, hauled via heavy-duty trucks, flatbed trail-ers and ATVs.

Thats been our primary mission getting water off houses so we can get people back in them, Nicholl said. We basically have roving teams that are in different areas of the city every day.

As the numeral in its name suggests, CAN-TF2 is not alone in this country. It is one of five

nationally recognized heavy urban search-and-rescue teams, with sister squads in Vancou-ver, Manitoba, Toronto and Halifax.

At least, thats how it used to be.

The future of the five teams status as a national force is up in the air at the moment, as feder-al funding for the program was eliminated as of April. Its been left to individual provinces and municipalities to pick up where the Harper government left off, which both the Alberta govern-ment and the City of Calgary opted to do.

Provincial spokesman John Muir said the goal now is to

begin transforming (CAN-TF2) into a provincial emergency re-sponse team.

Public funding is mainly used to cover equipment costs and the salaries of two staff members, Nicholl said. The rest of CAN-TF2 works on a volun-teer basis, he noted, although team members employers are compensated for back-filling their positions up to 14 days.

So what motivates CAN-TF2 members to leave their fam-ilies, work long days and live wherever they happen to set up camp?

Its just a desire to help, Nicholl said. Robson FletcheR/metRo

hope and chaos. Alberta continues to recover from devastating floodingIt was another day of frustra-tion, hope and hard work for people in southern Alberta who are still dealing with the messy aftermath a week after flood waters ravaged the region.

Outside hard-hit High River, Alta., hundreds of residents who still cant go home be-cause of dangerous conditions lined up for hours Thursday for government pre-loaded debit cards to help pay for their im-mediate housing and day-to-day expenses.

On the Siksika First Nation, firefighters from Slave Lake, Alta. a community that was partly destroyed by wildfires two years ago volunteered to pump floodwaters from

stricken homes and provide help wherever needed.

Firefighter Jim Meldrum lost his home in the 2011 in-ferno and knows what people on the flooded reserve are go-ing through.

They are feeling, Where do I go from here? I dont know what to do, Im just wandering around aimlessly and complete-ly uncertain on what my future is going to be, Meldrum said.

I hope I can be an inspira-tion to them that there is a fu-ture and life is going to go on.

Finance minister reports $2.8B deficit for Alberta

The final deficit number for Albertas 2012 fiscal year is $2.8 billion, Finance Minister Doug Horner reported Thursday.

Thats $2 billion more than what had been projected at budget, but less than the $4-bil-lion deficit projected a few months earlier.

Horner, speaking in Calgary, said the wildly varying esti-mates will likely continue until Alberta breaks up a contin-ental oil production bottleneck termed the bitumen bubble that is driving down the price of the oilsands product.

The reality is this (oil price) differential and the movement within that differential is some-

thing that no one has seen in the past in terms of the volatil-ity, said Horner.

Were going to continue to see that volatility, I think, over the course of the next little while until we are able to provide some stable market ac-cess.

Premier Alison Redfords government says Alberta is getting less than before for its oilsands bitumen because oil production is growing in the United States and Alberta has virtually nowhere else to sell its oil than to the U.S.

Redford is pushing to get more oil delivered by pipeline to refineries on the Gulf Coast in Texas through the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, and through pipelines to the east and west coasts in Canada.

Non-renewable resource revenues brought in $7.6 bil-lion, about $3.6 billion less than expected, to Alberta in 2012.

Total revenue was $38.6 bil-lion, almost $2 billion less than

expected. Total spending was $41.4 billion, just $161 million

higher than planned. the cAnAdiAn press

With a cabinet shuffle ex-pected in the coming weeks, Ottawa has been alive with speculation that MacKay is about to be shuffled out of cab-inet or is planning a jump to a lucrative private-sector job.

Two days after I arrive in Cairo to see family earlier this month, my uncle whisks me away to a protest at the Min-istry of Culture.

Thats Egypt today: Protests have become a family affair. With this weekend marking the one-year anniversary of the Muslim Brotherhood taking power, you worry about the safety of loved ones.

This particular protest on June 11 turns out to be a chi-chi demonstration in a wealthy Cairo neighbourhood. President Mohammed Morsi has replaced the culture min-ister and others with Muslim Brotherhood members. Many criticize the changes as crude and corrupt, though others suggest he must excise old of-ficials to begin anew.

I lived in Egypt for five years until 2009, and visited again months after the 2011 revolu-tion. It was a time of uncer-tainty and insecurity but also of some optimism and rebuild-

ing. That has all but vanished.The one-year anniversary

is Sunday. Protests have al-ready begun and bloodshed is expected. People are asking if well become like Syria? Could Salafis win an election? What of the plummeting economy and security?

On a stage outside the min-istry, a Tahrir Square protest singer performs a call-and-re-sponse song. Artists and intel-lectuals dot the crowd.

Individuals stand between cars with petitions calling for early elections, and people honk in support.

The next day, I eye a young man in the womens-only metro car with suspicion. After other vendors pass, he rallies the women to demonstrate on the 30th. There will be busing to three sites, and if you cant go then protest in front of your home, he insists. Dont be afraid, he yells, repeatedly. A woman tells the rest to say Amen.

Another woman confronts him, telling him that we all know where his support really

comes from. Other passengers are pragmatic. We have to give (Morsi) time, we need sta-bility.

Days later, on the metro again, a woman calls for sig-natures. Everyones signed by now, a passenger tells her. Arguments erupt across the evening car.

I was with a friend when a stylish young woman said she wouldnt sign she and her husband work in tourism and just as things are getting to normal, protests threaten their livelihoods.

I walk with a friend the next day around Old Cairo. An older man mutters to nobody that Morsi will be good for the country so there will be fewer people like us around. Tour-ists? Women? Women without a headscarf? Only the disdain is understood.

When I take a cab home with a woman already inside, its clear theyve been discuss-ing politics. The driver asks if Ive signed the petition. I hesi-tate and they wonder aloud if perhaps my father is Brother-

hood. He is not. Later when I jot in my notepad, he half-jok-ingly suspects Im recording their information.

The woman doesnt know whether to blame Morsi or the revolution for unemployment thats driven young neigh-bours to drug addiction. The driver, too, had lost his job as a government staffer. When she says the old regime was better, the driver disagrees; he says the 30th had better not mean bringing back the old.

In my last days I visit con-servative relatives and won-der whether they support the Brotherhood. I learn they dont my cousin thinks Morsi is incompetent, idiotic and de-ceitful (the most common criti-cism against the Brotherhood). But he thinks things could get much worse. The opposition have no plan, no candidate. Blood will be shed, and for what? He fears that old regime sympathizers or paid thugs will be among protesters, even posing as Brotherhood, to in-cite violence.

I leave Egypt confused. And worried. I have family members on the front lines. Relatives have lost everything in the plunging economy and once-proud Egyptians are wit-nessing the decline of their country as its torn along reli-gious and sectarian lines.

And I wait to see what will become of Egypts second perhaps revolution in my lifetime.

Canadian astronaut receives Service CrossCanadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is given the Meritorious Service Cross from Gov. Gen. David Johnston Thursday in St-Hubert, Que., becoming the first Canadian to hold both the civil and military decorations of the honour. Hadfield spent five months on the International Space Station and became the first Canadian to com-mand the giant orbiting space lab during his last mission. Paul ChiaSSon/the Canadian PreSS A man admitted in court

Thursday to shooting and killing Anthony Smith, who gained notoriety in death after a photo emerged that appeared to show him with Torontos mayor. But his law-yer suggested there may be further developments.

Nisar Hashimi, 23, entered an early guilty plea to man-slaughter and aggravated as-sault just three months after Smith, 21, was shot dead outside a downtown Toronto

nightclub and Muhammad Khattak, 19, was wounded.

Hashimi had been charged with first-degree murder. Smiths sister and mother said outside court that though the plea to lesser charges wasnt the outcome they had ex-pected, they can now move on.

Smiths sister, Kamelia Taylor, lashed out at a throng of reporters, saying it was disgusting that no one cared about her brothers death until a picture emerged appearing to show him with the mayor.tHE CANADIAN PRESS

A dilapidated trailer sits on blocks in a trash-strewn lot in the Queens borough of New York. Thought to be vacant,the trailer went unsearched after Superstorm Sandy flooded the area in late 2012. More than five months afterthe storm, the body of Keith Lancaster was found inside on April 5, 2013. Jake Pearson/the associated Press

Superstorm victims body lay hidden for more than 5 months

In the chaotic days after Superstorm Sandy, an army of aid workers streamed onto the flood-ravaged Rockaway Peninsula looking for anyone who needed help.

Health workers and Na-tional Guard troops went door to door. City inspectors checked thousands of dwell-ings for damage. Seaside neighbourhoods teemed with utility crews, Red Cross trucks and crews clearing debris.

Yet, even as the months

dragged on, nobody thought to look inside the tiny con-struction trailer rusting away in a junk-filled lot at the cor-ner of Beach 40th Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard.

If they had, they would have found the body of Keith Lancaster, a quiet handy-man who appeared to have been using the trailer as a home the night Sandy sent 1.5 metres of water churning through the neighbourhood.

It took until April 5 before an acquaintance finally went to check on the 62-year-olds whereabouts and found his partially skeletonized re-mains. His body lay near a calendar that hadnt been turned since October and prescription pill bottles last refilled in the fall.

New York Citys medical examiner announced this week that Lancaster had

drowned, making him the 44th person ruled to have died in New York City be-cause of the storm.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Aeroplan. Points should be easier to redeem, firm saysThe company that runs the Aeroplan customer loyalty pro-gram wants to make its travel rewards easier to accumulate and to redeem and is prepared to replace CIBC as its bank cred-it-card partner.

Aimia Inc. said Thursday that its ready to partner with TD Bank in 2014 and drop CIBC at the end of this year un-less CIBC matches contractual terms offered by TD.

Aimia chief execu-tive Rupert D u c h e s n e said Aero-plan is still tops in Can-ada but com-petition from RBCs Visa Avion credit

card and from TDs Travel Visa card has been a factor.

I want to see Aeroplan be-come the undisputable No. 1 again and to do that we need to grow and well only grow if we have a better proposition for Aeroplan members, Duchesne said.

That means making it eas-ier for consumers who want to use their points for travel.

Duchesne noted that it can take

more time and points for

holders of the

Aeroplan Classic Visa, one

of the cards offered by CIBC, to redeem travel

points. The CAnAdiAn Press

The cheques are finally going in the mail. Canada Post and the Public Service Alliance of Can-ada have reached a settlement in the countrys longest run-ning pay-equity dispute.

We are extremely happy about this. Im very proud of our victory, said PSAC national president Robyn Benson. Its a long time in coming. Its been 30 years.

Benson says as many as 30,000 people could be eligible for a portion of the settlement, which is estimated at $250 mil-lion with interest.

Cheques will begin to be sent out in August, but Can-ada Post cautions that it is a slow process to calculate how much each eligible individual receives. A spokesman said 60

people are working full time on sorting through documents and data. TorsTAr news serviCe

CrTC gives green light to Astral deal

Bell has won regulatory approv-al for its second bid to buy As-tral Media and its coveted suite of TV speciality channels and radio stations in a deal worth $3.4 billion.

The Canadian Radio-tele-vision and Telecommunica-tions Commission announced its decision Thursday after mar-kets closed.

The CRTC rejected Bells in-itial bid for Astral last fall, say-ing it wasnt in the best inter-ests of Canadians.

But the regulator said the revised bid in which Bell

agreed to sell some of Astrals specialty TV channels and radio stations satisfied its concerns that the company would be too dominant in the market.

The commission concludes that the transaction as modi-fied in this decision is in the public interest and advances the objectives set out for the Canadian broadcasting system in the (Broadcasting) Act, the CRTC said in its decision.

The Public Interest Advo-cacy Centre, which acted as counsel for a number of con-sumer groups and opposed the bid, said it too was disappoint-ed by the CRTCs decision.

Canada will now have an unprecedented level of media concentration and vertical inte-gration and a weaker diversity of voices with the loss of Astral, a strong independent broad-caster, Janet Lo, a lawyer for the advocacy group, said in a statement. The CAnAdiAn Press

@metropicks asked: The best pork chop youve ever had comes from pigs fed marijuana, says one farmer. Dumb or yum?

@Canucklehead_ca: So wait -- were now eating pot-fed pot roast?!!! This madness must end!

@Gilbert80Jeremy: this will make things interesting next time I put pork chops in the smoker! #pigsfly-high

@ccordova84: Those pigs would be juicy. All that pot would give those pigs the munchies and make them plump.

@DrMoiraStilwell: Something is not Kosher here!

@evilpez4: And this little piggy when weed, weed, weed all the way home.

Coca-Cola will be persuading Brits to swap their morning coffee or tea for smoothies and juice, not pop, as we tweeted out Wednesday.

Jim GuthrieTakes Time: Jim Guthries output has been so consistently excellent, its start-ing to border on obnoxious, and this is no different. Think clever folk music with hushed vocals and lush produc-tion. (jimguthrie.bandcamp.com)

IsosineMashup Manifesto II: Tossed-off collisions like Nine Inch Nails and Carly Rae Jepsen are giving mashups a dirty name. But Isosines

experiments are lovingly nurtured enough to pull off using a Nicki Minaj beat to turn The Proclaimers 500 Miles into a sweet Top 40 ballad. (isosine.bandcamp.com)

F-777Im So Classy: Short and sweet glitchy electro breaks that sounds like a fran-tic mix of French house and classic TV theme songs. Fun stuff.(jessevalentinemusic.bandcamp.com)

1Oh Canada (Say whaa?). CBC Music wanted to spice up our countrys national anthem for Canada Day, so they recruited domestic beat boxer KRNFX, national vocal treasure Maiko Watson, and seasoned producer Ian Blackwood. The result is a righteous hip-hop groove for young Liberals and New Democrats alike. Check them out on YouTube, yo! One time (one time).

2Smart screen. Research from the University of London ends a tradition of lies parents perpetuated about the harmful effects of TV. The study revealed that kids who watched more did better in school than their more moderate-viewing counterparts. Subsequent studies also showed that your dog likely did not retire to a ranch, your face will not stay like that, and no matter how many times you do it, you will not go blind!

3 Oh, Paula. What kind of world do we live in when we cant throw a simple plantation-style wedding complete with black servants, or abuse ethnic employees without being labelled

racist? Its like getting arrested for fraud, and pleading not guilty, saying, Hey, Im just a drug dealer.

4 Boyfriend. Media reports show that Biebs is taking his bad-ass image to the next level by publicly making out with a married woman. At 22 years old, Jordan Ozuna has been separated almost as long as she was married, but she is still married, according to her estranged mother-in-law. Yet she fools around with Biebs.

5 Growing up Kardashian. Despite endowing their child with the moniker of North West, sources close to the couple say that Kim and Kanye are wonderful parents. Kim says she enjoys being a mother. Sure, its tough, waking up in the middle of the day, supervising the nanny, looking out for possible allergies to fruits

or nuts, or unnatural fabrics, but as long as she can hold her baby for just a few minutes before each mani-pedi, its all worth it.

6Cest la vie. This week in 1974, French crooner Charles Azna-vour hitNo. 1 in the U.K. with She. At 50, he was the oldest

living male to top the charts in Britain. Even though his own peeps didnt go for it, the song became a classic and was cov-ered 25 years later by Elvis Costello for the movie Notting Hill.

7 The Iron Sheik. Old-school wrestling fans will remember Hulk Hogans notorious nemesis. Hossein Khosrow Vaziri, former Olympic wrestler and bodyguard for the Shah of Iran, has an incredible story. Persian-Canadian brothers Jian and Page, a.k.a. The Magen Boys, have been gathering footage for years and a powerful film has emerged. To learn about the up-coming documentary and this fascinating man, visitindiegogo.com for the Iron Sheik Story.

8Busting balls. This week, the now-former New England Pa-triots tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with first-degree murder, and Cleveland Browns rookie Ausar Walcott was charged with attempted murder, making a grand total of 36 NFL players to be arrested this year. League officials are up in arms about the allega-tions, but I think the problem is obvious. Cops just prefer basketball.

White House Down opens this weekend in theatres. HANDOUT

Richard: Mark, unlike the virtually identical Olympus Has Fallen, the Gerard Butler White House disaster flick that opened earlier this year, White House Down spends half-an-hour of its sprawl-ing 137 minutes introducing the characters, which is 29 minutes more than we got in Butlers film. Theres loads and loads of not terribly in-teresting talking, then the dome blows off the White House and director Roland

Emmerichs genius for mak-ing things go boom comes into play. From that point on, its fun stuff.

Mark: And the question be-comes which is the better flick? White House Down has bigger stars, more expensive production and more action than Olympus Has Fallen. But if we use plausibility as a guideline, I think Olympus has a bit of an edge. That film almost felt like an indie, and its relative cheapness worked for it. Im not say-ing that White House Down isnt fun, but there were lots of times I just didnt believe it, starting with the idea that Jamie Foxx could be elected president. On the other hand, James Woods is very believable. Too believable, maybe.

RC: Woods does disgruntled very well. I wont say any more about Woods there will be no spoilers here but I can say that this is a talkier-than-usual action movie. But by and large the chit chat is entertaining. Best line in the movie? Thats President Sawyer, and he has a rocket launcher! I loved that the cheese factor was ramped up to 11 for the last hour-and-a-half.

MB: Yes, I enjoyed that too. And theres a bit of comedy thrown in. Nicolas Wright is terrific as a White House guide with SNL timing. But the director, Roland Em-merich, may have some ex-plaining to do. This is the second time hes blown up the White House (Independ-ence Day being the first),

and Im no Freudian, but as a foreign national he may be receiving a visit from some Homeland Security in the near future.

RC: Hes the master of disas-ter! Hes never met a monu-ment he didnt want to destroy. Whether it be bad weather la The Day After Tomorrow or a worldwide cataclysm as in his global warming epic 2012, the dir-ector cant seem to stop him-self from trashing beloved landmarks.

MB: I just heard theres a Canadian version of this film being produced where terrorists take over 24 Sus-sex Dr. and get into a bitter debate with the government over who pays the utility bills.

Been there, bombed thatWhite House Down. The Jamie Foxx fl ick isnt your typical blow em up blockbuster but it doesnt do much to set itself apart either

Synopsis

Channing Tatum plays John Cale, a divorced father of one who desperately wants to impress his daughter Emily (Joey King) by getting a job as security for the president of the United States (Jamie Foxx). On the day of his Secret Service job interview some very bad men (there will be no spoilers here!) invade the White House, disabling the security forces and gaining control of the presidents home. Separated from his daughter, John gets some on-the-job training as he becomes POTUS defacto guard while shooting, stab-bing and fi sticuffi ng his way to his daughters rescue.

Kristen Wiig is trying to deal with the fact that shes always expected to be on.

The comic actress and Sat-urday Night Live vet has made a name for herself with out-landish characters and hilari-ous writing, but shes actually quite shy and reserved when shes not on the clock. Un-fortunately, when promoting a massive animated film like Despicable Me 2, thats not very often.

I mean, in an interview situation I am aware that Im being recorded and written about, so theres a kind of a persona you have to bring out a little bit, she admits. I find that people who interview me expect probably more of

a comedic personality than in real life.

Wrestling with those per-ceptions has perhaps gotten easier now that shes left SNL, where she became a stand-out over seven seasons with crazy characters like the Tar-get Lady. She even enjoyed a touching kind of send-off with each cast member and creator Lorne Michaels dan-cing with her during a final sketch most other retiring SNL actors dont enjoy.

With a years time now between Wiig and her tearful farewell from SNL, she admits shes finally getting used to not being on the sketch com-edy mainstay.

I do miss it, she admits. Its getting easier now be-cause theyre on (summer])hiatus. I dont imagine what theyre doing not in a creepy way, but just ... it was such a big part of my life for seven years and it was a tran-sition to leave. But its getting better.

For her new addition to the Despicable Me world, Wiig was given some touchstones from one of her famous pre-

decessors to work with: She plays Lucy, a brassy, clumsy redhead who reminds viewers more than a little of Lucille Ball tasked with roping retired super-villain Gru (Steve Carell) into a mis-

sion. Thats all they gave me. Her name is Lucy, she has red hair, go! Wiig says with a laugh. I had never played a character like that before that was so enthusiastic, I guess. Shes very excited.

Lucy is also fairly fearless, a trait Wiig humbly declines to apply to herself. Um no, she laughs. I dont know, in some ways, I guess. But I dont think anyone is 100 per cent fearless.

Comic actress back on in sequel

The heatDirector. Paul Feig

Stars. Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy

Sarah Ashburn (Oscar win-ner Sandra Bullock) is an uptight FBI agent teamed with tough-talking Boston street cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) to bring down a murderous drug dealer. This odd couple, buddy cop dynamic is as old as the movies, so youd hope for the performances to breath new life into the films withered lungs. Instead we get the same old from two good performers. With a gag to giggle ratio of about five-to-one, more jokes miss than hit. McCarthy tries hard to raise a smile but she doesnt do anything here we havent seen her do before and better. richard crouse

Johnny Depp, left, as Tonto in the Lone Ranger. Handout

Hes not a savage and youre not in IndiaThe Lone Ranger may be the biggest western to come out of Hollywood in years, but its not star Johnny Depps first ven-ture into the frontier.

In 1995, Depp starred as an out-of-his-depths city slicker in Jim Jar-muschs Dead Man not that hes seen it.

I feel somehow that Jim Jarmusch made a great and amazing sort of epic poem of a western with Dead Man, Depp says. Havent seen the film, but I love Jim, and I know what hes capable of, and from what Ive heard, its and I did read the script by the way, and it was it was wonderful.

Now, about that Lone Ranger. In taking on the iconic character of Tonto in such an iconic property, Depp who spearheaded and execu-tive-produced the project saw the Lone Ranger as a chance to reverse a lot of Hollywoods past mis-takes.

In the history of cin-ema, the Native Amer-ican has been portrayed as a savage or as some-

thing lesser than. And it was important to me to at least take a good shot at erasing that, he says.

On a more personal level, theres also the way Tonto himself the Lone Rangers stoic sidekick had been portrayed.

As a very young child, I was always perturbed by the idea of Tonto be-ing a sidekick. That just didnt register properly in my head, Depp ex-plains. I just thought it was potentially an oppor-tunity to right the wrong, you know?

And its not just Holly-woods treatment of Native Americans that

needs addressing, Depp insists.

There are centuries of injustice and stereotypes he hopes his flashy sum-mer blockbuster can help diminish.

I wanted to convey that the Native Amer-icans were only deemed savages when Christo-pher Columbus hit the wrong fing place, and decided that hed hit India, Depp says.

Thats our history. He thought he hit India, and called the people In-dians. Thats our history, you know? I mean, thats pretty fing weird, ser-iously.

Kooky characters

Tonto versus Captain JackTonto is another addition to Johnny Depps coterie of kooky characters, including the Mad Hatter, Hunter S. Thompson and Edward Scissorhands. But perhaps the Grand Poobah of Depps alter egos is Pirates of the Caribbean mainstay Captain Jack Sparrow. So between the rakish pirate and the wily Comanche warrior, who would win in a fight?

Its over for Tonto, Depp says with a weary shake of his head. Yeah, its over for Tonto. Captain Jack is far too dark. It wouldnt take long and it would be unpleasant.
