Chicago workers strike

for an eight-hour day

THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

May 1, 1867 6 The Globe reported on unrest in Chicago, where the labour
movement was lobbying for an eight-hour day, a change from the exhausting
10 or 12 hours most people were expected to work. New state legislation man-
dated a shorter work day, but the law had loopholes and was ignored by
employers. On the first of May, a general strike broke out, shutting down Chi-
cago’s economy. The militia intervened and the strike collapsed after a week.
The Globe, which was against the eight-hour day, accused the protest’s leaders
of intimidation and violence: “Armed with clubs, brick-bats, stones and pistols,
they went around and drove away from the shops, elevators and timber yards
all who attended to work.” Protests continued for years, although it was dec-
ades before the eight-hour day became standard for workers in the United
States and elsewhere. – Richard Blackwell

we have three different stories,”
Randall Garrison, the NDP
defence critic, said Sunday.
Mr. Sajjan said during a speech
in India in April that he was the
“architect” of Operation Medusa,
a land battle between NATO and
1,400 Taliban that took place
over two weeks in the late sum-
mer of 2006. Roughly 550 insur-
gents and 12 Canadians were
killed along with a number of
others.
The minister, who was an intel-
ligence officer in the Canadian
reserves, has been praised by
senior military officers for his
role in that combat. But he con-
ceded on Saturday, after two days
of criticism and an ambiguous
statement on Friday, that he had
“made a mistake” in describing
himself as the operation’s key
planner.
“I wish to retract that descrip-
tion and apologize for it,” Mr. Saj-
jan said Saturday in a post on
Facebook. “What I should have
said is that our military successes
are the result of leadership, serv-
ice and sacrifice of the many ded-
icated women and men of the
Canadian Forces.”
The India speech was not, how-
ever, the first time that Mr. Sajjan
has talked about his part in Oper-
ation Medusa in that fashion. In
July, 2015, when he was a Liberal
candidate, he said on a British
Columbia podcast called Conver-

DONALD TRUMP

Only 1,360 days

to go. Sad!
................................................................................................................................

L et’s begin by dismissing Donald Trump’s claim that the tradi-

tion of tallying a new president’s successes and failures after
100 days in office is a “ridiculous standard.” Letting alone that he
himself vigorously bought into the idea while campaigning, and
that he spent last week desperately signing executive orders, mak-
ing last-minute promises about tax reform and trade, and tweeting
self-aggrandizing messages as the “ridiculous” deadline
approached on Saturday, the first 100 days are, contrary to the
President’s claim, a useful metric.
Among the reasons for that is that they represent the best oppor-
tunity an incoming president will have to implement new policies
and deliver new legislation, thanks to the inevitable momentum
generated by an election victory. Given that Mr. Trump’s Republi-
can Party controls both houses of Congress, everything has been in
place for him to get things done.
So how did Mr. Trump do in his first 100 days, and what have we
learned of him? That he is off to the worst start of any president in
modern U.S. history – even Ronald Reagan accomplished more in
100 days, and he took a bullet in the chest on day 69. And that he

OPINION
Ottawa gets it right
on funding for
disaster mitigation
....................................................................................................................

DON FORGERON
President and CEO of Insurance Bureau of Canada
....................................................................................................................

L ost in all the talk and analysis of the most recent feder-
al budget was a landmark investment of $2-billion for
disaster-mitigation funding – the largest infusion of dollars
dedicated to disaster mitigation in Canada’s history. The
investment is designed to reduce the almost $9-billion
spent by the federal government in unbudgeted disaster re-
lief expenditures from 2005 projected through 2020.
Many commentators completely missed the significance of
this investment.
However, Canada’s property and casualty insurance indus-
try noticed. We noticed because we have been encouraging
governments to shift their investments toward disaster miti-
gation, particularly flood mitigation, for several years now.
In the aftermath of the Fort McMurray fires, in the face of
accelerating and severe climate-driven events, and in an era
of few new spending announcements and dozens of com-
peting priorities, this redirection of federal tax dollars was a
remarkable and positive shift in importance.

Cannabis: Seniors becoming a key market – just don’t call it ‘bud’

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

9 Canada, with new legislation

to legalize cannabis by 2018,
could follow suit. Recent data on
the number of Canadian seniors
using cannabis are unavailable.
But in 2013, Health Canada fig-
ures showed that two-thirds of
Canadians registered to purchase
medical marijuana were taking it
to treat severe arthritis, more
common among older adults.
On the unregulated side, many
cannabis dispensaries are now
actively catering to seniors. In
Victoria’s Oaklands neighbour-
hood, a large dispensary called
Farmacy draws customers from
nearby retirement homes to a
brightly lit space with nostalgic
photos and vintage apothecary-
style display cases housing an
array of tinctures, oils and ex-
tracts.
Weighing scales measure dried
cannabis by the gram, in variet-
ies such as “granddaddy purple”
and “blue dream.” But don’t ask
for “bud.” Here, they’re called
“flowers.”
Andrew Gill, manager of the
dispensary since it opened two
years ago, estimates that at least
50 per cent of Farmacy’s custom-
ers are over the age of 55. “Make
no mistake – we play classic rock
every day specifically for them.”
Seniors interviewed for this ar-
ticle said they spend $10 to $50 a
week on cannabis products,

H e is the only Ottawa Senator

in the Guinness World
Records.
No, we are not talking about
dubious expenses or shabby at-
tendance – we speak here of the
hockey Senators, specifically one
Jean-Gabriel Pageau.
Pageau, of course, is the local
kid who on Saturday led the Sen-
ators’ come-from-behind 6-5
double-overtime victory over the
New York Rangers by scoring
four goals, including the last
three in a row, to claim an unex-
pected victory.
The Senators, now up two
games to none against the team
that was favoured to win this
playoff round, will next meet the
Rangers at Madison Square Gar-
den on Tuesday.
Saturday’s hero is not himself
in Guinness, but his namesake,
“Honey Badger” is as the
“world’s most fearless creature.”

Oilers underwhelm in loss to Ducks

Some pressure off Anaheim after Edmonton falls into an early 3-0 hole and can’t fight back to win Game 3

It’s probably not a surprise that

the Oilers would have a letdown.
They had won four successive
playoff games since having a
stinker in Game 4 of the first
round in San Jose.
They were underwhelming ear-
ly again on Sunday night at Rog-
ers Place, falling into a 3-0
disadvantage to the Ducks in the
first period before dropping a 6-3
decision that relieves pressure
on Anaheim.
The Ducks were in danger of
falling behind 3-0 in the second-
round series, but can even it by
winning Game 4 in Edmonton
on Wednesday night. Game 5 will
be back at the Honda Center on
Friday.
The Oilers didn’t go down
without a fight, scoring three
straight times to tie it in the sec-
ond period – the last goal a
wicked wrist shot by Connor
McDavid. A second before
Edmonton’s young captain took
the shot, he reversed direction
suddenly to shed his defender.
Chris Wagner answered less
than a minute later, firing from a
bad angle on one side of the net.
It trickled past Cam Talbot, the

Jays fight tooth and nail, win first series

Following early exit from Sanchez, Toronto enlists help of six more pitchers to win back-to-back games for the first time this season

ROBERT MacLEOD TORONTO

“I’ve got blisters on my fingers,”

Beatles drummer Ringo Starr
once griped after extending him-
self during the recording of Hel-
ter Skelter in the late 1960s.
Goodness knows what Aaron
Sanchez was muttering as he
stalked off the mound following
an abbreviated one-inning outing
for the Toronto Blue Jays on Sun-
day, but in all likelihood it was
not fit for public consumption.
The Blue Jays were amped up
for their game against the Tampa
Bay Rays, and one of the reasons
was the return of their young
flamethrower, who was sidelined
by a blister issue on the middle
finger of his right hand.
The blister was caused by the
fingernail irritating the skin
when Sanchez threw, with the
curveball the primary aggrieving
pitch.
Sanchez opted to have a por-
tion of the nail removed during a
surgical procedure in an effort to
find some relief. And he had
been sidelined about two weeks
before being cleared to return to
work on the weekend.
But it was a short shift – three
batters and 13 pitches in the first
inning before Sanchez excused
himself after the nail split, caus-
ing it to bleed.
The Blue Jays were able to
recover from that body blow,
scoring three runs in an adven-
turous eighth inning to subdue

Tottenham, Chelsea keep pace in race

In the final stretch toward the end of the Premier League season, Spurs and Blues pick up important wins
.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

ROB HARRIS LONDON

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

Chelsea passed the toughest test

of the title run-in to keep Totten-
ham at arm’s length.
Antonio Conte’s side took 66
minutes to break through Ever-
ton’s resistance on Sunday before
winning 3-0 to remain four
points ahead of Tottenham.
Even if Tottenham cannot over-
haul Chelsea in the final four
games to win the title for the first
time since 1961, it will still be a
landmark season for the north
London club.
Beating Arsenal 2-0 in Sunday’s
derby ensures Tottenham will
finish above its neighbour for the
first time in 22 years. And if Spurs
hold on to second place, it will be
their highest finish in 54 years.
For Arsenal, the challenge is
now extending the team’s 20-
year run in the Champions
League. But Arsène Wenger’s side
is six points behind Manchester
City, which occupies the fourth
qualification place.
City was held 2-2 by relegation-
threatened Middlesbrough, but
fifth-place Manchester United
could also only draw with Swan-
sea, so it remains a point behind
its neighbour.

OBITUARIES
MICHAEL BALLHAUS THREE-TIME OSCAR NOMINEE, 81

Scorsese’s cinematographer detested violence

He was admired for his fluid camera work, including his signature 360-degree shot, used in The Fabulous Baker Boys and elsewhere
.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

MARGALIT FOX
................................................................

M ichael Ballhaus, a cinema-

tographer who brought lyr-
icism and light to films by
Martin Scorsese, Rainer Werner
Fassbinder and a string of other
eminent directors, died on April
12 at his home in Berlin. He was
81.
His manager, Angela Carbonet-
ti, confirmed the death after a
short illness.
Mr. Ballhaus, who began his
career as a television-camera op-
erator in his native Germany,
became one of the most sought-
after cinematographers in the
world. Nominated for three
Academy Awards, he master-
minded the look of pictures as
visually diverse as latter-day
noir, sanguinary gangster films
and music videos.
With a filmography of more
than 100 pictures, he worked
alongside Mike Nichols, Francis
Ford Coppola, Paul Newman,
Robert Redford and Barry Levin-
son, among other directors.
But he was most closely associ-
ated with Mr. Fassbinder, for
whom he shot more than a
dozen films in turbulent collab-
oration, and Mr. Scorsese, for
whom he shot seven in satisfy-
ing amity. (Mr. Ballhaus, who
often declared that he abhorred
violence, esteemed Mr. Scorsese’s
work so much that he swallowed
hard and kept on shooting
whenever the viscera started to
fly.) Michael Ballhaus, the celebrated cinematographer who gave films such as Goodfellas and The Departed their visual lustre, receives an Honorary Golden
