Toronto addresses
underweight bread scandal

TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARY

April 24, 1867 6 In a consumer-friendly crackdown, Toronto’s inspector of

weights and measures raided shops, bakeries and delivery trucks and confis-
cated 564 loaves of bread that were below the standard weight. The Globe
declared that the seizure made it obvious “the habit of giving light weight is of
common occurrence” with some bakers in the city. “The widow and orphan
whose utmost energies are scarcely able to sustain life with bread at its present
rate, have a right to demand that they at least receive the equivalent of their
money. The mechanic and labourer have equal reason to complain at such
robbery.” Even a rich man who can afford to pay “has equal right to honest
dealing,” the paper said, “though in his case the act may not look quite so
mean.” The underweight bread was taken to a police station, and most was lat-
er distributed to charitable institutions. – Richard Blackwell

Trump milks
Canada’s sacred cow
................................................................................................................................

A merican President Donald Trump’s repeated outbursts last

week about Canada’s “very unfair” treatment of Wisconsin
dairy farmers is simple to explain: Someone waved a press release
from the U.S. dairy lobby under his nose and gave him a whiff of
something he could grandstand on.
Typical Trumpian bombast? Sure. But here’s the thing: While Mr.
Trump probably has little idea of the details of the case, the issue
he raised is legitimate. And on this issue, Mr. Trump is more right
than wrong.
Dairy farmers in Wisconsin and New York State sent a letter to
the White House earlier this month, complaining that they have
been hurt by an unfair price-fixing decision from Canada’s all-pow-
erful and highly protected milk cartel.
They have a case. The cartel’s decision, as with all its moves, ben-
efits dairy farmers at the expense of everyone else – Canadian con-
sumers, in particular.
The story goes like this: The Canadian Dairy Commission and
provincial marketing boards set prices for milk and milk products
based on production costs that aren’t grounded in market reality.

LEGAL INNOVATION
INTERVIEW

Client-centred approach translates technology into solutions

Process and people key to unlocking problem-solving potential
Self-driving cars, IBM’s Watson
and ‘robo’ financial advisers are
sparking conversations about
the potential of innovation to
change everything. In the legal
sector, the rapid evolution of
artificial intelligence and digital
connectivity has opened up vast
new potential.
What does this mean for
Canadian companies today? Two
national legal innovation leaders,
McCarthy Tétrault’s Judith McKay,
Chief Client and Innovation Officer,
and Matthew Peters, partner and
National Innovation Leader, share
their perspectives.
How do you see recent innova-
tion changing the delivery of legal
services?
JM: In our view, true innovation comes
from understanding our clients, their
businesses and the industries in which
they operate. In the business world,
there is no distinction between legal
challenges and business challenges.
They’re all business challenges.
We start with the client’s problem
and then think about people: team-
work and collaboration within the
firm, with service providers and with
our client. Then we look at how we can
improve processes – and only then
bring in technology. Technology needs
to be considered in thoughtful con-
nection with people and processes,
or it often fails.
We start with the client’s
problem and then think
about people: teamwork
and collaboration within
the firm, with service
providers and with our
client. Then we look at
how we can improve
processes – and only
then bring in technology.
Judith McKay
is Chief Client and Innovation
Officer at McCarthy Tétrault
Lawyers won’t all be
replaced with computers
– project out 10 years
and lawyers will still be
central to the problem-
solving role.
Matthew Peters
is partner and National Innovation
Leader at McCarthy Tétrault
One example involved a client
with a massive volume of low- to
mid-complexity contracts. It was too
expensive for them to outsource, but
they didn’t have the in-house capac-
ity. We developed a solution that
included a legal process outsourcer.
We used a lot of process mapping
and applied contract management
software with robust data analytics
to track the life cycle of the contract.
The result for the client was a high-
quality, consistent solution at a very
attractive price point.
MP: When companies do merger and
acquisition deals, for example, the
due diligence process has historically
been humans reviewing things. We
asked, “What if we apply process,
technology and people to deliver a
better solution?”
Clients also have issues with low-
value contracts such as confidentiality
agreements or employee offer letters,
which are usually created manually.
We developed an end-to-end process
using a document automation tool,
an electronic signature tool and a da-
tabase. Everything lives in the digital
sphere; you answer the questions,
and it generates the agreement to be
signed and stored. Clients have been
paying law firms $1,000 to $1,400 for
these simple agreements, and now
they can do them for as little as $100.
For us, the centre point of innova-
tion is staying focused on solutions.
Has this approach changed your bill-
ing relationship with your clients?
MP: Instead of billing by the hour,
which incents inefficiency, we are
looking to things like fixed price. It’s
a win-win for everybody when both
service providers and clients share the
same incentive to be efficient.
What are the foundations of an
innovative culture?
JM: In the 1980s, law firms weren’t
allowed to operate outside of a single
province, and McCarthy Tétrault went
all the way to the Supreme Court of
Canada to become the first national
firm. Our tradition of innovation has
continued from there.
Another innovation for us was in
the area of legal project management,
which we introduced about eight years
ago. As we started to think about the
way that we deliver services as a pro-
cess, everything else evolved naturally
out of that. Processes derive solutions,
they enable you to make them leaner
and more efficient, and allow you to
think about different resources.
What happens next? How are you
preparing for the future?
MP: We don’t have a crystal ball, but
we can predict some things with a
high degree of confidence. One is
that the composition of individuals
providing services in a law firm will
continue to diversify. Traditionally,
it was lawyers and paralegals; it has
already evolved to include other roles
such as project managers and process
improvement experts.
The role of technology will continue
to grow. Lawyers won’t all be replaced
with computers – project out 10 years
and lawyers will still be central to the
problem-solving role. But AI will play
a role in making many of the services
that we deliver more efficient.
Data is playing a bigger and bigger
role in the services we and some
other law firms provide, and will
continue to do so. Predictive analytics
on document review for litigation,
and in transactional work, continues
to change how we deliver services.
JM: An early indication of the future
is McCarthy Tétrault’s acquisition of
Wortzmans’ law firm earlier this year.
Now, under one roof, we offer very
sophisticated e-discovery processes,
technology and information gover-
nance. This enables us to work with
our clients to manage their tens of
millions of documents and records,
to better run document retention
programs that pare down the number
of duplicate documents and make
it possible to find documents more
readily. It’s fantastic technology that
helps us solve a client’s problem,
from end to end.
Our clients are feeling cost and
budget pressures; having to do more
with less. They’re looking to us for
solutions, and we’re helping them
understand that there are simple gov-
ernance processes and inexpensive
technologies they can leverage to be
more organized, efficient and effec-
tive. We’re also leading that process,
lawyer by lawyer, within our firm: how
can we have better databases, find
things more easily, repeat tasks using
templates and checklists, et cetera.
It’s exciting for us to have an impact
on transforming the legal industry
and how it provides value – what
motivates us is helping our clients
achieve even greater success.

For a more secure future,
stress test your mortgage today
T
he good news? Mortgage inter-
est rates are still at historical
lows. But as policy-makers and
the media regularly remind us, this
means there is only one direction for
them to move – and that is up. And
this could potentially mean trouble
for Canadians who have stretched
their budget to own a home.
Rather than worrying about what
might happen and when, stress test
your mortgage, urges Dilys D’Cruz,
vice-president of community banking
at Meridian Credit Union in Ontario.
To make it easy, Meridian offers
a suite of easy-to-use online calcu-
lators, she notes. “You key in the
amount of your mortgage [or the
mortgage you need], at the current
interest rate, and get an estimate of
your payment. Then, to stress test it,
you re-enter the same amount with
a rate at least two per cent higher.”

payment. There is terminology to

Purchasing a home is likely the larg-
est and most significant financial deci-
sion most Canadians will make in their
lifetime. Although buying a home is a
sound investment idea, it is critical to
fully comprehend what home owner-
ship entails. Understanding each step
of the home-buying process is key to
ensuring you will make a wise deci-
sion that suits your emotional needs
and financial situation – now and into
the future.

will be much lower, borrowers must
prove they’re capable of making the
higher monthly payment required at
the bank rate, which is currently 4.64
per cent. In the case of a $300,000
mortgage at 2.69 per cent, Meridian’s
current five-year rate, that difference
is $300 per month, Ms. D’Cruz points
out.
But there are good reasons to do

requirement, even in the absence of

about stress testing your life, says
Ms. D’Cruz. “You want to make sure
that if a life event means you have
additional expenses or your income
drops, you have a safety net. You’re
not stretched to the max.”
For those shopping for a home or
coming up to a mortgage renewal,
doing the calculations online should
be viewed just as an illuminating
for many Canadians. This is due in part
to recent changes made to mortgage
rules by the federal government,
which may affect your ability to pur-
chase a home, especially if you are a
first-time buyer. What does this mean
for you? For starters, your home-
buying purchasing power could be
reduced, and you may be subject to
a stress test that will require you to
qualify for your mortgage at a higher
rate than you would have before.
Navigating the mortgage process
can be intimidating at the best of
times, but combined with these new
changes, it is more important than
ever to work with a professional mort-

first step, she notes. “You want to sit
down with an adviser who can offer
solutions and options.”
While it’s easy to forget in the
excitement of a home search, these
are decisions that affect every as-
pect of your life. “Take a hard look
at your financial picture and cash
flow,” advises Sheila Walkington,
chief financial officer and co-founder
of Money Coaches Canada. “Know
your numbers. What is your lifestyle
costing you now? What are you will-
ing to adjust to be sure you can afford
the additional costs that come with
home ownership?”
Buying a home without reducing
other spending can mean running up
credit cards or a line of credit quickly,
she says. To avoid that outcome, she
recommends setting up an automatic
savings plan for all the things you’ll
want and need going forward, includ-
ing other important priorities such
your children’s education, a comfort-
able retirement and vacations. “Put a
gage broker who will answer your
questions and explain the implications
of the changes, in plain language,
relative to your specific circumstances.
A mortgage broker is your personal
adviser throughout the entire home-

cesses, taking into account both your

plan in place to ensure you can live
well now and are prepared for the
future. If that feels daunting, find the
support you need.”
As with any major commitment,
it’s best to think through all possible
outcomes, says Brandon Scott of
Benchmark Mortgages Inc. in Edmon-
ton. “Getting married and getting
a mortgage have more in common
than you may think – it’s important
to realize the honeymoon phase may
wear off.”
The federal government has made
six major policy changes in the last
eight years that impact mortgage
options for Canadians, so it’s critical
to seek expert advice, he adds. “For
instance, someone who owns their
own business may have a tougher
time today than a few years ago.”
While self-employed Canadians
naturally want to claim all deductible
business expenses to reduce their
taxable income, this may not be the
best strategy when seeking a home
loan or refinancing.
“Connecting your mortgage pro-
fessional and your tax adviser early
will ensure you are declaring enough
income to meet current guidelines.”
Stress testing a mortgage should
also include considering some ‘what-
if’ scenarios, Mr. Scott notes. “Make
an exit plan for situations such as a
job transfer or selling the home for
less than it cost. When you consider
terms, conditions, privileges and
penalties, a mortgage that appears
to have a lower rate may, in fact, cost
more in the long run.”

Buying a home is a journey. Here’s the map.
Y
ou’re dreaming of a spacious
master bath and a view of the
tree tops. Or a great school for
the kids, along with a little garden and
a sunny window to play beside. What-
ever the details, making your dream
a reality requires careful planning and
preparation.
Self-education is a smart first step,
says John McNain, RBC’s vice presi-
dent of home equity acquisition. “Start
off with a solid knowledge base. Find
out how much you can afford. Then,
start to set expectations, given your
desires. What are your options?”
Before obsessing over Realtor.ca
listings, connect with a mortgage spe-
cialist who can point out any potential
pitfalls and ensure you’re prepared to
move forward when the opportunity
arises, he suggests.
Once you have a plan for your
mortgage and budget, flexibility is a
crucial prerequisite to success. “You’ve
got a lot of immediate and longer-term
needs; if two people are buying a
home, you may have some different
needs. Within your budget, you’ve
got location and home size options.
There are always trade-offs,” says
Mr. McNain.

to help throughout the process, such

lot of headaches later in the process.
“We want to ensure all of our
clients’ pre-approval requirements
have been fulfilled before they make
an offer,” says Charles Kornbluth, an
RBC mortgage specialist in Toronto.
“Our goal is to give our clients as
much runway as possible between
starting the dialogue and making an
offer. In this market, whether you’re
a first-time buyer or a seasoned
purchaser, it is so important to have
all the due diligence done ahead of
time. That way, you’re comfortable
that your financial institution is be-
hind you and your expectations are
aligned with an attainable reality.”
With the right team of experts,
closing becomes a time of celebra-
tion rather than stress. “We’re pro-
viding information throughout the
stages of the process, so buyers
are not getting information at the
last minute,” says Mr. Kornbluth.
“For example, in Toronto, we have
a double land transfer tax. There’s
nothing worse than sitting across
from your lawyer looking at a state-
ment of adjustment and seeing a
$5,000 land transfer tax that you
didn’t account for.”
To help ensure his clients have
the right advice on all aspects of the
home buying journey, mortgage
specialists check in to ask if they’re
working with a realtor. If they’re not,
they can pass on contact informa-
tion for competent realtors they’ve
worked with before. “We know they
can explain the closing process in a
way clients understand,” says Mr.
Kornbluth.
Even when everything is in order,
competitive markets may mean that
you won’t get the first home you
put an offer on – or perhaps even
the third or fourth. “For most clients,
typical lead time is now anywhere
from four months to a year,” he says.
“It can be frustrating and emotional,
because they just want to be in a
home. Our job is to act as facilitators
to help them do that, but it’s also
to prepare them so they can make
informed decisions under pressure
– and to be there for the times they
don’t get the house.”

A dam Maier-Clayton, who

took his own life last week,
had begged many people to
help him end his suffering. One
of them was Dr. Ellen Wiebe.
She is the country’s pre-eminent
practitioner of Medical Assist-
ance in Dying (MAID), the Lib-
eral government’s law in
response to the Supreme Court’s
2015 Carter ruling that decrimi-
nalized physician-assisted sui-
cide. Wiebe and Maier-Clayton
met several times by Skype and
e-mail over the past many
months, she said in an inter-
view on Monday. “It was a dis-
tressing situation,” she recalled.
“He suffered so much, and he
wasn’t able to have a good
death.”
At 27, Maier-Clayton, a bright,
articulate activist, had a multi-
tude of intractable mental ill-
nesses, which were not respon-
ding to drugs, therapies or
experimental treatments. He
was not suicidal, as he kept
insisting on social media and to
broadcast and print journalists.
He just wanted the pain to stop,
pain that was enduring, irreme-
diable and intolerable – all the
qualifying criteria the Supreme
Court had laid out for compet-
ent patients in Carter.
Wiebe was moved by Maier-
Clayton’s plight and distressed
that the choices he outlined for
himself were all “hideous.” So
why didn’t she help him die, as
she had done with other
patients?
The problem, essentially, was
that Maier-Clayton was suffering
from a mental illness, albeit one
with debilitating physical symp-
toms. Just one mentally ill
patient, a woman known only
as E.F., has been granted a phy-
sician-assisted death in Canada.
At 58, E.F. was suffering from

When an opera festival’s drama is offstage

With a new position as general director of the Vancouver Opera, Kim Gaynor couldn’t let her leg injury take the spotlight

................................................................

N ot that there’s ever a good

time to fall from your horse,
but when it happened to Kim
Gaynor, it was particularly in-
convenient.
Gaynor was exactly three
months away from launching a
brand new opera festival in Van-
couver when she fell from her
beloved horse Gin Fizz de St.
Germain. She had brought him
over from Switzerland when she
left the Verbier Festival to take
on the position of general direc-
tor of Vancouver Opera. It was a
serious accident that resulted in
a tibial plateau fracture, with
cracks down her leg almost to
the bottom. She was in hospital
initially for two weeks; but a
few days after her release, she
had to return because of a
serious infection.
“Six weeks of antibiotics; I just
finished. And painkillers. It was
a very, very painful injury. So
one week I’ve been heavy-drug-
free,” Gaynor says during an in-
terview just before Easter week-
end. She pulls up her left pant
leg, revealing an enormous scar.
But even with 14 inches of Kim Gaynor, the head of the Vancouver Opera festival, is seen at the opera’s facilities on April 13. Gaynor took a hard fall off her horse, which landed her

Raptors can’t get cozy after Game 4 win

Team’s history of folding after victories has got to stop if Toronto hopes to fend off pesky Bucks
.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

NEIL DAVIDSON TORONTO

................................................................

D eMar DeRozan hasn’t fin-

ished redeeming himself yet.
The Raptors all-star rallied with
a game-high 33 points Saturday
in Toronto’s 87-76 Game 4 win in
Milwaukee after failing to hit a
field goal in a humiliating 104-77
loss to the Bucks in Game 3 on
Thursday night.
But the bad taste of that deba-
cle persists, despite the fact that
Toronto holds home-court
advantage as the first-round
playoff series – tied two games
apiece – switches to the Air Can-
ada Centre for Game 5 on Mon-
day night.
“Looking up at that score, los-
ing the way we did, it was embar-
rassing. It was a feeling you can’t
get over,” DeRozan, speaking
after practice on Sunday, said of
his miserable Game 3 memories.
That was music to coach
Dwane Casey’s ears.
He wants the Raptors to break
the cycle of upping its game after
a loss and then relaxing after a
win.
“That’s been our MO [modus
operandi],” he said.
“So that’s why I’m glad to hear
that DeMar was upset and not
[saying] ‘Okay, I had one good
game.’ And that’s he’s ready to
come out.”
Casey wants his entire team,
like DeRozan, to come out with a
chip on its shoulder.
“We’re much better when our
backs are against the wall,” he
said.
Added DeRozan: “We’re going

Canada loses
sevens final on
last-ditch try
by Black Ferns
................................................................
KITAKYUSHU, JAPAN
................................................................
It was heartbreak for Canada in
the final of the HSBC Kitakyushu
Sevens on Sunday, beaten 17-14 by
New Zealand on a Michaela Blyde
try with no time remaining.
The Canadian women had won
their five previous matches at the
tournament, blanking Russia 41-0
and Australia 33-0 earlier Sunday
– Canada’s largest margin of vic-
tory ever over both countries.
“The whole team is really proud
of how they played the tourna-
ment but gutted we didn’t win the
final,” Canadian coach John Tait
said. “Full credit to New Zealand,
they are a team with great com-
posure and made us pay for the
few mistakes we made.”
Tait’s team had been hoping to
add the Japan title to the one won
by the Canadian men in Singa-
pore last weekend.
Hannah Darling’s converted try
gave Canada a 7-0 lead, but New
Zealand countered with a Niall
Williams try to tie it 7-7 at the
half.
Jen Kish’s try in the corner, fol-
lowing a fine run by captain Ghis-
laine Landry, put the Canadians
ahead 14-7 after an excellent Lan-
dry conversion. The Black Ferns
cut the lead to 14-12 with Portia
Woodman running down the
flank for her 142nd career try. Tyla
Nathan-Wong missed a difficult
conversion attempt.
After the try, New Zealand
kicked off with less than a minute
remaining and got the all back
when Kish uncharacteristically
fumbled the kickoff. The Black
Ferns retained possession and
nearly scored on the left, only to
be denied by a try-saving Landry
tackle. But they kept their calm
and sent the ball down the line to
Blyde, who crossed the line in the
right corner.
Canada stands third in the over-
all standings, behind Series leader
New Zealand and Australia.
Tait’s team finished sixth in
Dubai, won in Sydney and was
third in Las Vegas. The next stop
on the six-event circuit is May 27-
28 in Langford, B.C.
Canada’s record in World Series
finals fell to 3-5, with three of
those losses to New Zealand,
which advanced to the inaugural
Japan tournament final with a
21-0 win over Fiji.
Earlier in the day, Canada took it
to Australia with a five-try per-
formance against the Olympic
champion. Julia Greenshields
scored three tries while Breanne
Nicholas and Britt Benn added
singles.
The win over Australia marked
Canada’s 100th victory in World
Series play.
Landry led the way against Rus-
sia with three tries. Greenshields
had two, with Kish and Natasha
Watcham-Roy also scoring.
Landry and Greenshields were
chosen for the tournament dream
team.

RUGBY RED DEVILS 29,
WOLFPACK 22
................................................................
Salford, England – The Toronto
Wolfpack suffered their first loss
in a competitive match Sunday,
beaten 29-22 by the Salford Red
Devils in the fifth round of the
Ladbrokes Challenge Cup.
Salford stands third in the elite
Super League, two divisions and
22 places above the fledgling
Wolfpack, the rugby league’s first
transatlantic team.
Despite that gap, the Wolfpack
had its chances and made for a
difficult afternoon for Salford,
which trailed 12-6 and 16-12 in the
first half at AJ Bell Stadium. But
Toronto, attempting to play an
expansive game, made mistakes
and was ill-disciplined.
Salford also had its issues,
reduced to 12 men in the first half
when Justin Carney was red-card-
ed for dissent with the home side
trailing 16-12. Toronto forward
Adam Laithwaite, meanwhile,
was stretchered off in the 23rd
minute of a physical contest.
A Wolfpack official said after
the game that Laithwaite was
okay after being taken to hospital
for a scan and was due for release
later in the day.
Liam Kay, Quentin Laulu-Toga-
ga’e, new signing Ryan Brierley
and Fuifui Moimoi scored tries
for Toronto. Captain Craig Hall
booted three conversions.
Greg Johnson scored two tries
for Salford while Kris Welham,
Michael Dobson and Gareth
O’Brien added singles. Dobson
kicked three conversions and
O’Brien added a conversion and a
drop goal.

JENNE SHU-WEN LIANG
1925 – 2017
Our beloved mother, Jenne
Shu-Wen Liang, passed away
peacefully in her home on April
20th, 2017, surrounded by
family that she cherished all her
life. Loving wife of late Pedro
(2004), Jenne will be forever
missed by her children Sam
(Cynthia), Alfred (Michelle), David
(Rose) and Alice, her adoring
grandchildren Yshia (Michelle),
Fei, Alister and Rachel.
During her long life of 92 years,
Jenne had witnessed tumultuous
years of war and upheaval in
China before her family uprooted
to settle in Taiwan in 1949. Here,
she and our father started a
family, establishing themselves
and making a comfortable home
for all of us. Both of our parents
made a great sacrifice leaving
successful careers behind to
immigrate to Canada in 1967,
seeking a better environment for
learning and education for their
four children.
Our parents settled in the rural
outskirts of Kingston where they
found peace and tranquility. Our
father established a successful
career as a professional engineer,
while our mother Jenne pursued
her creative passion, directing
the artistic production at
Doernbusch Studio in Kingston,
combining her love for flowers
and crafts.
Along with the love they shared
for each other, our parents’
lives were joined by their
integrity, modesty, generosity
and kindness. They were always
ready to support family and
friends in need of help.
To celebrate Jenne’s life,
family and friends are invited
to join us for a memorial
service at Elgin Mills Cemetery
(Elgin Mills and Lesley) at 1 pm
on Thursday, April 27th, with a
reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, we would
appreciate a donation in Jenne’s
memory, to Spectrum Health
Care, Habitat for Humanity or
other charitable organization
of your choice.
DAVID LIVINGSTONE
David Livingstone, brilliant mind
and icon of fashion journalism,
died suddenly of heart failure
at home on Thursday, April
20, 2017. Born on Cape Breton
Island, schooled at the University
of Toronto, David began his
career writing about music, but
soon brought his wit and wonder
to the world of fashion. As a
writer for The Globe and Mail and
The Toronto Star, fashion and
beauty editor of Elm Street, and
editor-in-chief of The Look and
Men’s FASHION, he delighted
in originality, whether he was
interviewing a Canadian designer
or reporting on a runway show
in Paris. He demanded excellence
from all around him, making us
all better for it. David is survived
by his daughter Alexandra, his
brothers Johnny, Lloyd, Stephen
(Sue), two nieces, a nephew,
and countless friends whom he
loved dearly. A visitation will be
held at Turner & Porter Yorke
Chapel, 2357 Bloor Street West,
Toronto on Wednesday, April 26,
