The director of the National Gallery of Canada is dis-
missing the entreaties of two Quebec museums that
want to share ownership of a 239-year-old French
painting, saying a work of art is “not a child of a di-
vorced couple that shuttles back and forth.”
The National Gallery is selling the 1929 Marc Cha-
gall painting The Eiffel Tower at a New York auction
next month for an estimated US$6-million to US$9-
million, to buy the 1779 Jacques-Louis David piece
Saint Jerome Hears the Trumpet of the Last Judgment.
The gallery has valued the latter at US$5-million.
The David work is owned by the parish of Notre-

terview. “It’s not as if it’s going to Saudi Arabia or
Russia, it’s going to Ottawa, for heaven’s sake. I don’t
really understand what the big deal is.”
The David painting was brought to Canada in the
late 1800s, and stayed in Quebec City for decades
starting in 1917. It was part of a collection owned by SCOTT OLSON/GETTY IMAGES

Scientists in Britain and the Unit-

that could in future help in the

The enzyme is able to digest

PET – a form of plastic patented
in the 1940s and now used in mil-
lions of tonnes of plastic bottles.
PET plastics can persist for hun-
dreds of years in the environ-

Canada-EU trade deal
PAUL WALDIE PARIS
As the first Canadian Prime Min-

expected a warm welcome and
polite applause when he rose to
speak in the ornate chamber on
Tuesday. Instead, the Prime Min-

boos and some catcalls when he
mentioned the Canada-EU trade
deal, a sign of how divisive the
agreement has become in parts
of Europe.

Judge stays assault charges

against two B.C. Mounties
NANAIMO, B.C.
A British Columbia judge has stayed assault charges against

two Mounties accused of pepper spraying a man in custody
while proceedings against a third officer are set to go ahead
in the fall.
Provincial court Justice Ronald Lamperson said in a writ-
ten ruling that the charter rights of RCMP Corporal Michelle
Lebrun and Constable Mick White were violated because
their trials were delayed for too long.
Cpl. Lebrun and Constable White, along with Constable
Scott Jones, were on duty at the Oceanside detachment in
Parksville, B.C., when the alleged incident occurred on June
10, 2013.
All the Mounties pleaded not guilty, and Justice Lam-
person said Cpl. Lebrun and Constable White applied to
have the prosecution against them stayed for the assault
with a weapon charge that was sworn in February, 2015,
though proceedings were repeatedly adjourned over issues
such as requests for disclosure.
Justice Lamperson said that after multiple delays, sep-
arate trials for Cpl. Lebrun and Constable White were sched-
uled to start next month, but 39 months and 14 days would
have lapsed to the expected end of proceedings. The trial for
Constable Jones is set for the fall.
The judge’s decision is in keeping with a Supreme Court
of Canada ruling in 2016 that imposed an 18-month time
limit for the start of provincial court trials. The top court
said a further delay is presumed to cause prejudice to the
accused.
Justice Lamperson said 16 days over four weeks were ini-
tially set for a trial starting in May, 2016, but disclosure issues
and unavailability of lawyers led to further delays and an
offer of three alternative dates for start of the trial, either in
May, August, or October, 2017.
However, he said that while Crown counsel was available,
defence lawyers were not.
He said the lawyers provided four sets of possible dates
for the trial to begin and then the court could not accom-
modate those dates.
Defence lawyers for each of the accused officers provided
various dates that would have had proceedings starting as
late as October, 2018, Justice Lamperson said, adding they
also suggested Constable Jones and Constable White be
tried separately from Cpl. Lebrun, a move to which the
Crown consented.
Justice Lamperson said defence delays in fixing the first
trial date amount to 113 days, disclosure application issues
added 212 days, but the unavailability of defence lawyers
caused even longer delays.

The subject who is truly loyal to the chief magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures - Junius
Ontario NDP
bets on itself
ow that’s an NDP election platform.
N The Ontario NDP, struggling to compete for vot-

ers with the poll-leading Progressive Conservatives,
and threatened by the leftward drift of the Liberals, has made
the risky decision to just go ahead and be itself.
Its platform, released Monday, is not some centrist docu-
ment aimed at easing the minds of undecided voters. And it
is not the weak tea of Premier Kathleen Wynne, who has
spent the last two years doing her best impression of an NDP
leader in an effort to protect her party’s left flank.
No, this is full-on, unapologetic NDP. An Ontario govern-
ment led by Andrea Horwath would spend billions on new or
expanded social programs, most notably free dental care and
pharmacare for all, and subsidized public daycare that would
be free for families earning less that $40,000 per year.
Provincial university loans would be turned into non-re-
payable grants, and the government would forgive the inter-
est on outstanding student debts.

WHERE THE bigger than Netflix

JOHN

OPINION

he announcement on Monday was hardly
T a surprise. In the first quarter of 2018, Net-

flix added almost two million U.S. sub-
scribers and yet more in other territories,
beating its own estimates. The streaming company
also posted quarterly earnings slightly above ex-
pectations.
There followed dire warnings and auguries. The
soothsayers were extra busy.
The Guardian went on at length. “Netflix’s new
world order” was in the headline. And in due
course, the company was described as “the digital
beast.” It was noted darkly that, this year, Netflix
will spend almost five times the BBC’s annual
spending on television. The nerve of the blighters.
The nerve.
Yes, Netflix will probably have 250 million sub-
scribers around the world and will own the entire
planet of film and TV entertainment before any
other company has the time and resources to catch
up.
The BBC won’t give up. The CBC won’t give up.
The Cannes Film Festival will still be complaining
sniffily about Netflix five years from now, but Net-
flix will be dominant.
The only thing that can compete with Netflix for
entertainment value is the idiosyncratic alchemy
that is the news. The stuff that happens daily;
twisting and turning in ever-widening circles of
bizarre and preposterous events. Take Monday (go
ahead, I don’t want it back, it was a horrible day)
and what unfolded.
The world was still reeling from James Comey’s
interview on ABC on Sunday night. The show was,
in truth, a disappointment as spectacle. It was
choppy and inelegantly edited down from mul-
tiple hours of conversation.
Still, it did have Comey saying this about his first
meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump: “I did
not go into the business about, uh, people peeing
on each other. I just thought it was a weird enough
experience for me to be talking to the incoming
ILLUSTRATION BY WENTING LI president of the United States about prostitutes in

And, of course, Comey declaring, “A person who

Private equity firm Catalyst Capital Group Inc. is

pressing ahead with its effort to wring money out of
its failed bid for Wind Mobile – and claims to have
evidence against a rival fund manager that may
have been gathered in a sting operation run by for-
mer Israeli spies.
In a letter sent to investors in its funds, Catalyst
says it has interviews with former employees of To-
ronto-based West Face Capital Inc. that show “in-
side information about the Wind negotiations was
improperly leaked to West Face.” The letter, marked
“privileged and confidential update”, was sent to
Catalyst unitholders in March and obtained by The
Globe and Mail.
Catalyst has filed two separate lawsuits over the
Wind case. In 2014, Catalyst was negotiating with the
owners of the wireless company to buy it, but the
deal fell apart. A group led by West Face bought
Wind for $300-million and flipped it to Shaw Com-
munications Inc. for $1.6-billion a year and a half lat-
er. The business is now called Freedom Mobile and
was recently valued by one Bay Street analyst at
$5.7-billion.

The International Monetary Fund projects moderate eco-

lower than last year’s and significantly slower than in the
United States.
In a document generally positive about the current global
economy, but flashing warning signs of potential trouble
ahead, Tuesday’s IMF World Economic Outlook foresees
growth in Canada of 2.1 per cent this year and 2 per cent next

That represents a downgrade from January’s outlook of 2.3

Clichés and speculation from talking heads
abound in the 24-hour financial news cycle
KIRA VERMOND
sk Dan Solin, author of the Smartest series of invest-
A ment books, to talk about bad advice coming from tel-

evision’s financial pundits and he gives a short laugh.
“How much time do you have?” he asks.
As it turns out, much of what emerges from today’s 24-
hour financial news cycle, especially in the United States,
drives him bonkers. Opinions about stock picking, trading
manoeuvres and market predictions are a dime a dozen, but

made by Questor Technology. ISTOCKPHOTO, JAY CONLON ulate. They’re often well credentialed – and everything
they’re saying is complete nonsense,” says Mr. Solin, who is
based in Naples, Fla.
While Canada’s business and finance programs tend to be
lower key and host fewer talking heads, average investors
flipping channels or watching online are likely influenced by
the sound bites and investment clichés that proliferate on
either side of the border, says Noel D’Souza, a fee-only money
coach and financial planner in Toronto.
“The problem is that oftentimes these junk things that
come out have an element of truth to them,” he explains.
“But they’re taking that element of truth and then over-gen-
eralizing it.”
It’s easy to understand why investors’ ears are tuned for
chestnuts. A few weeks ago, Adrian Mastracci, a fee-only se-
nior portfolio manager with Lycos Asset Management Inc. in
Vancouver, counted the number of major economic data re-
leases out of the United States – about jobs, factory orders
and consumer credit, for instance – and he came up with 19 in
seven days.
“You have an avalanche of stuff coming your way every
day of the week,” he says. “There are quite a few investors
who keep track of it and follow it. Heaven only knows what
they get out of it.”
Against this backdrop of economic noise, here are a few
maxims, platitudes and just plain worthless bits of advice

be repeated. Investors will pay management fees and expenses, may pay commissions or trailing commissions and may experience a gain or loss. The indicated rates of return

distribution, optional charges or income taxes payable by any security holder that would have reduced returns. If you buy other series of Fidelity funds, the performance will
