TORONTO — Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust (the 'REIT') (TSX: INO.UN) today announced the closing of the sale of the Sablière property to a third party for €18.2 million ($28.3 million). The property was sold at a modest 2% premium over its original purchase price, despite a markedly softer market environment and the asset being largely vacant at the time of sale, in contrast to its fully leased condition at acquisition in 2014. The transaction generated net proceeds of approximately $13 million (€8.4 million), which the REIT intends to deploy towards debt reduction and to support value-enhancing initiatives across its portfolio, including leasing and redevelopment opportunities.

Ivison: After the inferno, Jasper is on the rebound

Rachel Bailey finally saw a future for herself running a fine dining restaurant in the Rocky Mountain paradise of Jasper, Alta. Article content The native of Manchester, England, was drawn to the snowy peaks and turquoise lakes in 2013, and spent much of the next decade struggling to realize her dream of Canadian citizenship. Her plan was to use her British law degree to become accredited in Canada, but she found herself working part-time in a Jasper bistro and at a local law firm. Article content Article content Article content By the end of 2023, she'd become a Canadian citizen, and the owners of the bistro where she worked had asked her to use her sommelier skills to open a new concept that paired wines with fresh local game and produce. Bailey was invited to become part-owner, and the idea for Peacock Cork and Fork was born. Article content Article content Bailey and her partners purchased an upper-level space on Patricia Street in Jasper's downtown, and on June 12, 2024, the restaurant opened to great fanfare. Article content Just 40 nights after opening — on July 22 last year — the Peacock was so badly damaged by the wildfire that nearly swept away the entire town that it had to be condemned. Bailey lost not only her livelihood but also the house she rented farther up Patricia Street. Article content Article content Article content My wife and I met Bailey — Rachel — when she served us in one of the bustling restaurants that survived the fire, Harvest, just downstairs from where the Peacock was located. Article content Eleven months after the fire that destroyed one-third of Jasper's 1,113 buildings and burned an area nearly the size of the island of Montreal in the surrounding national park, it feels like a town that is just getting by. Article content Gazing toward the town from the Maligne Canyon look-out, the landscape looks like Mordor, scorched earth, pockmarked by thousands of blackened tree stumps. No one knows how much wildlife was lost, though it was recorded that elk and grizzly bears wandered the main streets of the town in the days after the fire, looking for an escape route.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Carney will have no choice but to kill supply management

Article content For a while there, things were going so well. Prime Minister Mark Carney — aka 'the Trump whisperer' — had morphed from critic to texting buddy of the U.S. President. Over the past three months, Carney had been chatting with Donald Trump, building backchannel goodwill. After the successful G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., hopes were high that Ottawa would strike a deal with Washington in 30 days, and that the rhetoric of making us the '51st state' had finally been retired. Article content Article content Until last Friday, when everything fell apart. Article content Article content Article content That's when President Trump abruptly cut off trade negotiations with Canada over our three per cent digital services tax, set to take effect June 30. Aimed at U.S. tech giants Amazon, Meta, Google and AirBNB, the tax was retroactive to 2022 and would have cost them an estimated $2 billion in back payments. The tech bros howled, the president barked, and Carney blinked. Sunday night, he backed down and cancelled the tax: Monday morning, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thanked him for the climbdown, as did the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Negotiations were back on. Article content But if you thought that was the last bump in the road, you couldn't be more wrong. In an interview broadcast Sunday morning on Fox, Trump mentioned a veritable mountain: supply management. That's the system that protects Canadian dairy, poultry and egg industries from foreign competition through quotas and tariffs, including Trump's favourite bugaboo, a 200-plus per cent markup on U.S. dairy products. Article content Article content It's true that the tariff only kicks in after the U.S. exports 50,000 zero-tariff metric tons of milk and 12,500 metric tons of cheese per year — levels it is nowhere near approaching. But supply management was already a sticking point with Trump in the CUSMA negotiations under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Republican lawmakers and U.S. dairy producers continue to demand its elimination. Article content Article content In our country, unfortunately, it has become a hill on which political careers go to die. Case in point: People's Party Leader Maxime Bernier, whose ambition to lead the Conservative party in 2017 was thwarted by the Quebec dairy lobby after he promised to ditch the policy. And the sacred cow lives on: in June, the House of Commons and Senate passed a Bloc Québécois bill with all-party support to prevent bargaining supply management away. Article content Carney knows that he owes his recent election victory in large part to Quebec voters — and with a minority, needs the support of opposition parties like the Bloc to stay in power. But if Canada wants a serious trade deal with a Trump White House, supply management will have to go. Not just for the sake of negotiations, but because it's a cartel policy that has had its day.
