"I can guarantee you one thing, nobody's getting fired here," Ujiri, the Raptors' president, said on back-to- school day for the basketball team, the opening of train - ing camp, which happened to coincide with one of the strangest sports weekends in memory. "(The players) have a platform," Ujiri said. " T here's nobody ge tting fired. You can quote me. You can write that one." It was a not-so-subtle re - buke of Donald Trump, who recently has spent a lot of time encouraging NFL teams to fire kneeling players. But as the day continued, it was evident that athletes, having been told to shut up and play, are doing the opposite. See STINSON on Page A2 C O M M E N T N YOUR MARKLE, GET SET, GO ...

On Monday, the Toronto- based company announced C h i n a 's S h a n d o n g G o l d Group Co. Ltd. will study whether it makes sense to build an open pit, heap leach mine squarely inside Argen- tina — after Chilean author- ities last year ordered the closure of mining activities on its side of the border. The announcement, which came while Barrick's senior management team visited China, shows the company's growing reliance on Shan- dong as a partner. In April 2017, Shandong paid $960 million and formed a 50/50 joint venture in Barrick's Veladero gold mine in Argen- tina, and the two agreed to explore future opportunities together. It also signals yet another inroad for Chinese companies, which in recent years have been heavily in- vesting and partnering with Canadian mining companies involved in copper, uranium and other metals. "Over the past year, we have been laying the founda- tion for a distinctive, endur- ing, and trust-based relation- ship with Shandong Gold," John Thornton, Barrick's executive chairman, said in the press release. Shandong is "a state- owned capital investment company," that's the largest gold producer in China, and has a mandate to become one the 10 largest gold com- panies in the world, accord- ing to its website. It did not detail its gold production but has said it produced 1.2 million ounces in 2016, and that one of its subsidiaries is listed on the Shanghai stock exchange with a market cap- italization of $9.6 billion. Barrick gave Shandong full access to all geological and other data related to the "Lama" deposit, according to Barrick spokesman Andy Lloyd.

In her debut cookbook, Wild Honey & Rye (Interlink Books), she set out to reflect Poland's contem - porary food culture, as well as honour the classic dishes she grew up eating. " What excites me the most is just how fast-paced Poland is at the moment in terms of their cuisine," she says. Once misunderstood and misrepresented in the West — like many other Cen - tral and Eastern European cuisines — Poland's "vibrant, fresh and modern" culinary scene is finally beginning to get its due.

"What I will say is what - ever role Alberta takes is one that will absolutely be fiscally responsible and there's a good, solid business case for it. If anything, it will open up opportunities for other Al - bertans." After flipping flapjacks for crowds gathered outside the government's downtown Cal - gary offices, Notley met with her cabinet. She told ministers that pieces of pipe have already arrived at yards in the indus - trial area of Acheson, just outside the pipeline's start- ing point in Edmonton, as well as in Edson, Alta., about 180 kilometres to the west. The Acheson site is about a quarter full and the Edson site is half full, Notley said, and construction is on track to begin this month. Trans Mountain would triple the amount of Alberta crude flowing to the B.C. Lower Mainland. Once the ex - pansion is complete, the oil is to be loaded onto tankers and shipped across the Pacific.
