Detroit Tigers left-hander Dietrich Enns a former 19th-round draft pick who pitched for Central Michigan in the early 2010s made his MLB debut in 2017 with the Minnesota Twins and earned his first MLB win with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2021 his baseball career has taken him overseas: He spent the past three seasons in Asia working in Japan in 2022 and 2023 and Korea in 2024 The 33-year-old signed a minor league contract with the Tigers that includes an invitation to spring training but the Tigers could turn him into a reliever CROWDED ROTATION: Detroit Tigers sign Jack Flaherty to two-year, $35 million contract with opt-out clause "My goal since I was a kid has been to win the World Series," Enns said it's an exciting bunch of guys that plug in and get the job done I want to be a part of that group and help the team continue to take steps towards winning the World Series." Enns doesn't have an abundance of MLB experience But his professional journey has taken him across multiple leagues and multiple countries: nine seasons in the minor leagues with four teams one season in the Venezuelan Winter League one season in the City of Champions Cup independent league two seasons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball and one season in Korea's KBO League Enns wants his next stop to be at the MLB level in Detroit "The last three years has been a pretty cool experience for me and my family to go overseas," Enns said "And then I'm just happy to be back in Michigan where I went to school and played baseball MEET GAGE: Tigers reliever Matt Gage reports early to spring training: 'Let's get going' Enns has pitched 26⅓ innings across 11 games in parts of two MLB seasons recording a 3.42 ERA with seven walks and 27 strikeouts He logged four innings with the Twins in 2017 and 22⅓ innings with the Rays in 2021 He went 1,453 days between MLB appearances His parents (and college teammates) watched from the stands at Comerica Park "I really loved pitching in Detroit," said Enns who picked up his second win just five days later against the Tigers at Tropicana Field My heartbeat started going up a little bit more I was in college when he was the Triple Crown winner It was pretty cool to face him in that moment MEET MILLER: Ryan Miller made MLB debut against Tigers. Now he's trying to return to Detroit The Rays weren't going to retain Enns for 2022 so when an opportunity in Japan became the best option for his family the Rays facilitated the transition by placing Enns on release waivers and allowing him to sign with the Seibu Lions Enns signed a one-year contract with a team option in Japan securing stability in location and a guaranteed salary registering a 2.76 ERA in 130⅓ innings across 25 starts in the first year and a 3.59 ERA in 120⅓ innings across 23 starts in the second year the LG Twins in Korea's KBO League signed Enns to a one-year contract with the promise of using him as a starter He was named as the Opening Day starter en route to making 30 starts posting a 4.19 ERA with 50 walks and 157 strikeouts across 167⅔ innings "Throwing that many innings and being relied upon as the ace of the staff who started every six days as part of a five-man rotation I know what I'm capable of as far as the durability standpoint." COMEBACK SZN: Tigers reliever Brendan White is example of just how tough baseball can be on body but he has developed the split-change into a reliable weapon over the past year He also throws his cutter in the 86-88 mph range along with the split-change from 80-82 mph slider from 80-82 mph and curveball from 77-79 mph "I've had some talks with the Tigers to see how they want me to utilize my pitches," Enns said "but those are conversations that we're going to continue to have throughout spring training I'm coming into camp with an open mindset of what the Tigers are looking for me to do." If the Tigers want Enns to keep all five pitches but if the Tigers want Enns to trim his mix to two or three pitches He trusts the Tigers' pitching department to help him "There was some interest overseas and here," said Enns, who will earn $1.3 million if he makes the MLB roster "But LG wasn't interested in bringing me back as a starter and then from the initial contact with Detroit I thought it was a really good fit for what my strengths are and what they're looking for in me." NEW RELIEVER: Tigers' Tommy Kahnle not picky about role with A.J. Hinch, Chris Fetter Enns has already talked to pitching coach Chris Fetter The business of baseball is simple: Now that Enns has returned to the United States on a minor league contract the Tigers will decide whether he's a starter or a reliever and whether he pitches in Triple-A or MLB He's proud to still be pitching — regardless of his role — after so many twists and turns in his career including the past three seasons across two Asian countries "I'm very blessed and grateful to still be playing this game," said Enns named the Mid-American Conference's Freshman of the Year in 2010 while playing for CMU "It's not the career trajectory or path that I would have planned when I was going through the draft process After I got drafted by the New York Yankees I thought I was going to be a Yankee for life it's been such a really cool journey for me."

forecasting model correctly picked Trump’s win this year in all 50 states – and would have correctly predicted 95% of states in every election since 2000 The model was developed by Peter Enns, professor of government in the College of Arts and Sciences and professor in the Cornell Jeb E and was first deployed in the 2020 presidential election where it correctly predicted the winner in every state except Georgia “Our forecast uses data from 100 or more days before the election while most of the major forecasts update their data every day until the election,” Enns said “This would seem like it would give other forecasts an advantage As the states were being called on election night I noticed our forecast aligned with each outcome Five states were called later and we got those right too.” Enns’ model focuses on economic conditions and president approval ratings as key factors (which are common in many prediction models) but the model extrapolates individual information from national polls back as far as 1980 using statistical modeling and additional information to develop numerous simulations and final forecasts on a state-by-state level.  Trump did not follow conventional campaign strategy and there were controversies at the last Trump rally in New York,” Enns said “This would have been the most likely election to not follow our forecast the research team used historical data to attempt predictions on past presidential elections The model could have multiple applications for campaign strategists and media outlets Enns said – helping to predict which potential candidate would do better where resources should be targeted in specific swing states and the types of issues resonating most with voters Enns said it would also be possible to extend the model to specific congressional districts looking at long-term shifts in the relationship between voting and two factors – voters’ concern for government overreach and whether they are hostile toward people of other races And Enns – who is co-founder and chief data scientist at Verasight and the Robert S. Harrison Director of the Cornell Center for Social Sciences – said his team plans to continue with this forecast for future presidential elections then the factors that have historically predicted the outcome aren’t working anymore and we will learn that something is changing dramatically,” he said Read the story in the Cornell Chronicle.

why we can forecast the outcomes far in advance despite the hundreds of millions of dollars presidential campaigns spend to influence the election; and which candidate has the advantage in 2024.    Enns acknowledges the intricacies of predicting election outcomes emphasizing that while no one can forecast the future with absolute certainty sophisticated models can provide valuable insights into the probabilities “It’s not just about collecting data.  It’s about interpreting it correctly,” said Enns professor in the Department of Government in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Brooks School of Public Policy lies in understanding and analyzing a wide range of factors that could influence the election “Professor Enns’ keynote address is more than just a lecture; it’s a chance to engage with cutting-edge research and thinking in political science making it a valuable experience for anyone keen to stay ahead in understanding electoral trends and dynamics,” said Christopher Wofford senior producer at eCornell.  “For political enthusiasts this is a chance to gain a deeper appreciation of how and why certain trends emerge and influence election results.” He is also co-founder and chief data scientist at Verasight a role that underscores his commitment to innovative data solutions Enns served as executive director of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research from 2015 to 2022 and is currently the Robert S Harrison Director of the Cornell Center for Social Sciences His influential work includes three books — “Hijacking the Agenda: Economic Power and Political Influence,” “Incarceration Nation: How the United States Became the Most Punitive Democracy in the World” and “Who Gets Represented?” — in addition to numerous academic articles and op-eds he earned the Emerging Scholar Award from the American Political Science Association recognizing his outstanding contributions to the field Elizabeth Lara-Rivera ’26 is a communications assistant for the College of Arts and Sciences — It all started with a Zoom call — a pitch for a pitcher The Tigers showed him a PowerPoint presentation that broke down his strengths and weaknesses detailed how he could fit in the organization and ways he could improve “I was really impressed by that,” Enns said last week of the Tigers' in-depth analysis The Tigers put several key members of their development team on the call: Ryan Garko vice president and assistant general manager; Gabe Ribas the director of pitching; and Dylan Axelrod pitching performance and integration coordinator “It’s the first time I’ve seen that,” Enns said of basically getting a sales pitch on how a team could help a player improve That’s saying something, considering Enns has traveled around the world — quite literally — as a pitcher “They showed me what I could work on to be a solid pitcher at the major-league level for them,” Enns said That presentation — not to mention all the research analysis and planning behind it — offers a glimpse into how the Tigers keep finding pitchers and making them better The Tigers have invested in building a pitching department; and it’s paying off After success stories like Michael Lorenzen and Jack Flaherty — taking broken pitchers and making them right again — the Tigers are developing a reputation as a place where pitchers can go and get better “We're on the same page from the get-go,” Enns said he signed a minor-league contract that included a non-roster invitation to spring training; he will earn a $1.3 million salary if he makes the majors in the 2025 season Enns threw 2⅔ innings against the Toronto Blue Jays ANOTHER PROJECT: I can't wait to see if Detroit Tigers pull magic out of former top prospect Hinch described Enns perfectly: “He's worldly,” Hinch said The magic in Enms’ left arm has taken him on a journey from Mount Pleasant to the New York Yankees where he played with Aaron Judge in the minors Illinois — which was cool because he was able to stay with his parents where he made the big leagues again in 2021 while climbing from CMU to the big leagues "It's been a really cool journey,” Enns said “I’m very grateful to still be playing this game Even though Enns is new to this organization he has found he speaks the Tigers’ language “What they preach here is just 'pound the zone,' ” he said “They just want me to be in the zone and kind of attack when he walked the first batter he faced on Friday But his cutter was particularly sharp and he had a fantastic outing “Being able to throw (the cutter) behind in the count and ahead in the count for strikes,” he said ANDREW NAVIGATO: This Tigers infield prospect represents everything great about sports He has several traits Hinch likes: Enns has multiple pitches that can get a righty out works efficiently and “has a starter’s mix,” Hinch said But there is something new in Enns' repertoire: A changeup The Tigers showed him a new grip and he throws it like a fastball “I kind of scrapped the one I was throwing because it's more of like a split-change variation,” Enns said and I think it'll help in the long run and help this year Because he has experience and pounds the zone TOO FAMILIAR: Detroit Tigers' mounting injuries starting to remind of ailing Detroit Lions Contact Jeff Seidel: jseidel@freepress.com. Follow him on X @seideljeff US expert who predicted outcome says models showed voters were unhappy with economy but did not seek sweeping transformation Despite Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the presidential election a political scientist who developed a model that correctly predicted his sweep of battleground states warns that voters have not necessarily given the president-elect a mandate to make radical changes In a paper released with little fanfare three weeks before the vote Cornell University professor of government Peter Enns and his co-authors accurately forecast that Trump would win all seven swing states based on a model they built that uses state-level presidential approval ratings and indicators of economic health In an interview with the Guardian, Enns said his model’s conclusions suggest voters chose Trump not because they want to see his divisive policies implemented, but rather because they were frustrated with the state of the economy during Joe Biden’s presidency, an obstacle Kamala Harris was not popular enough to overcome “If this election can be explained by what voters thought of Biden and Harris and economic conditions it really goes against the notion of a mandate for major change from Trump,” said Enns being cautious about changes that are massive changes would be what the model suggests is the optimal strategy.” Both outcomes were predicted in the paper released on 15 October by Enns, Jonathan Colner of New York University, Anusha Kumar of Yale University School of Medicine and Julius Lagodny of German media firm El Pato. At the time, polls of the seven swing states showed Trump and Harris tied signaling that the election was either’s to win Both sets of data were compiled more than 100 days before the vote was on track to lose both the popular vote and the electoral college but we will know her victory surmounted conditions so disadvantageous to the Democratic party that the incumbent president dropped out of the race She will have added major momentum to the Democratic campaign and/or Trump and the Republican party will have squandered a sizable advantage,” Enns and his co-authors wrote The forecast wound up being accurate, though, with ballot counting continuing in a few states, Trump seems set for a plurality victory in the popular vote “Given Biden’s low approval ratings and economic conditions, our model forecasted less than a one in 10 chance of a Biden victory if he had stayed in the race. Even after accounting for Harris’s approval ratings, which are notably higher than Biden’s, the Democrats face an uphill battle,” the authors wrote If Harris had a chance to overcome the disadvantages she entered the race with Enns said it would have required convincing voters she would be a very different president than her boss – which it appears she failed to do the optimal strategy would have been to differentiate herself more from Biden,” Enns said But the vice-president’s fate may have been sealed in the years that preceded her bid for the White House when she failed to build the sort of public profile that would have pushed her approval ratings up to the level that she needed them to be you can think about what could have happened to make our forecast wrong had minimal effect on the outcome,” Enns said “The task at hand was to outperform the forecast Sign In Subscribe Now Len was the second of five children born to George A and became a father within the first year of their marriage Len spent 40 years at Ritchie Smith Feeds before retiring in 2021 Dialogue and debate are integral to a free society and we welcome and encourage you to share your views on the issues of the day.

In 2017 The murder of Banff native Ethan Enns-Goneau not only shocked the idyllic mountain town it tore one of the most beloved residents from the community More than two dozen victim impact statements were filed for the sentencing of convicted killer John Christopher Arrizza Twenty three were read into the record in the murderer’s Calgary Court of King’s Bench hearing to a steady parade of friends and even the mayor of the town Justice Robert Hall heard how much the victim meant to the people of Banff Perhaps most eloquent was the victim impact statement provided by Enns-Goneau’s partner who spoke of receiving the tragic news of his death in the early morning hours of Aug “He brought something so special and unique to this world and nothing will ever be the same,” wrote Pieters in the statement read in court by Crown prosecutor Ron Simenik “Each and every one of us will carry this hurt with us forever The reality of it is that everything happy in my life will forever be tinged with a bit of sadness Everything sweet is interwoven with a little bit of bitter.” was convicted by a Calgary jury last September of second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Enns-Goneau “It still feels like yesterday and the pain is still as deep,” Enns said She said she delayed writing her victim impact statement “avoiding the pain I knew would come with it.” How do I begin to describe my kind and beautiful boy with a smile that lit up the room?” spoke about failed attempts to overcome their grief “We will endeavour to enjoy some of the sunny days although the dark clouds invariably pop up Many wrote of the impact the crime had on the serene mountain community which hadn’t experienced a homicide in 32 years Said Pieters: “He not only robbed us of a partner but he robbed the residents of Banff of a sense of security and safety when they go out at nighttime.” We were horrified and heartbroken over losing our bright like and sunny smile “We believed we were immune from this extreme and senseless violence.” Defence counsel Katherin Beyak and co-prosecutor Patrick Bigg proposed a joint submission for an automatic life sentence without parole for a minimum 12 years Before adjourning to Tuesday for his sentencing decision “This was 100 per cent my fault,” Arrizza said “I am so sorry to everyone who loved Ethan and everyone who came here today.” Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information Joanna Enns joined Hunton Andrews Kurth as a capital markets partner in Dallas, the firm announced Wednesday.

appear at Calgary Court of King’s Bench on April 14 and 15, 2025 to be sentenced for the second-degree murder of Ethan Enns-Goneau on Aug. 5, 2022 Arrizza was convicted by a 12-person Calgary jury in September for fatally stabbing Enns-Goneau at Banff nightclub Dancing Sasquatch the jury heard Arrizza stabbed Enns-Goneau at least 11 times inside and outside the nightclub’s men’s washroom arrived at Dancing Sasquatch at about 1:30 a.m The two were co-workers at Melissa’s MisSteak and he gave emotional testimony after describing helping administer first-aid to Enns-Goneau “I looked at Ethan on the ground and I said, ‘I love you, man, you’re gonna get through this.’ That was the last thing I said to him,” he said in his testimony The jury took less than 24 hours to find Arrizza guilty of killing Enns-Goneau During the trial, Arrizza’s defence lawyer Katherin Beyak didn’t debate that Arrizza stabbed Enns-Goneau, but that Arrizza was too intoxicated on alcohol and drugs to have intent for second-degree murder Arrizza was found to have four to five times the legal blood alcohol content allowable to drive and traces of cocaine in his system Arrizza should be excused for what happened or that Mr Enns-Goneau is in any way responsible himself for what happened,” said Beyak during closing arguments at the trial to ask yourselves given the evidence that you’ve heard of cutting inferential evidence of consumption of intoxicants your chance to observe video [of Arrizza’s behaviour] and what I would suggest appears to be an extreme state of intoxication on the part of Mr are you able to say beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended the death of Mr The jury was shown video of Arrizza – who had recently come to Banff from Thornton Ontario – when he was in police custody in an RCMP vehicle asking if Enns-Goneau was still alive Sheldon Silveira told Arrizza that Enns-Goneau was “not doing well,” Arrizza said Arrizza’s roommate Zachary Laivovitz also testified he and his housemates found a bloody pentagram drawn on a wall in their home shortly before Enns-Goneau’s murder Enns-Goneau had a lasting impact on the small mountain community inside Banff National Park roughly 20 members of Enns-Goneau’s family were in court There were also more than two dozen people who tuned in virtually with many more attending the seven-day trial “It won’t bring my boy back, but it’s something,” said Gloria Enns, Enns-Goneau’s mother told the Outlook on Sept. 20 He didn’t deserve what happened to him.” Arrizza remains in custody awaiting sentencing Resources are available for

series of candidate profiles in the run-up to the federal election on Monday we will publish Q&As with each of the candidates Castanet sits down with Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola People’s Party of Canada candidate Chris Enns to see where he stands on key issues President Donald Trump's trade war and annexation threats have dominated a lot of the discussion early in the campaign What is your take on the situation and what would you do to address it if elected Enns: I think that the trade war situation is bigger than just Donald Trump I think that we've got a big issue with Chinese tariffs as well We're currently fighting a two front trade war We need to work with our closest ally and trading partner in the United States to come to an agreement that is going to be fair and long-term and we need to approach it like a bunch of adults and deal with it how would you make life more affordable for people Enns: We would improve affordability in three ways so we would reduce the cost of housing by not having so much demand on the supply it has an inflationary effect on goods and services there is more demand for the Canadian dollar which would then increase the value of the Canadian dollar and Canadians and Canadian businesses would be able to buy overseas products at a much more affordable rate Castanet: What do you think needs to be done to address the housing crisis and what's your party's take on how to solve it Enns: Obviously we're going to deal with supply and demand but we need to work with local municipalities in order to figure out how we're going to increase more units I don't think that the federal government should be building units The federal government shouldn't be actively building new construction — it's not their place We are advocating for more decentralized powers but the federal government has no place in active actively building homes Castanet: How would your party balance economic interests with environmental and First Nations concerns when it comes to potentially fast tracking major projects Enns: Environmental interests are super important The People's Party of Canada is all about protecting our ground It's harder to control the climate when the biggest impact on our climate is the sun I think if we reduce some of the bureaucracy we can get rid of a lot of the red tape really quickly I definitely believe First Nations should be stakeholders in projects and I would like to see more of that type of working together I think that that's a really important part of reconciliation That we can work together in an economic capacity is the best way for people to reconcile Castanet: What would you do as MP to make sure small businesses here in Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola are positioned to succeed Enns: I would help small businesses to succeed by raising the value of our dollar so that goods and services they need to buy from overseas would be more affordable I would allow them to not be crushed by federal mandates that apply to all businesses and I would reduce taxes on small businesses as well Get ready to cast your ballot by finding out about all the Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola election candidates here Castanet is also partnering with the Kamloops & District Chamber of Commerce and community business improvement associations to host an online election forum on Tuesday Viewers can submit questions for candidates during the event, which will be live streamed on Castanet Voters will be able to go back and watch after the forum has concluded All candidates in the Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola and Kamloops-Shuswap-Central Rockies ridings have been invited to attend The murder of Banff native Ethan Enns-Goneau not only robbed the idyllic mountain town of a favourite son it also shattered the community’s sense of safety was the first murder in Banff in more than 30 years And the fact the much-loved 26-year-old was a born and raised Banffite who had lived his entire life in the national park town struck far too close to home the last time the town had to deal with such violence was years before the victim was born cab driver Lucie Turmel was fatally stabbed on a quiet Banff street by Ryan Jason Love a fare who had turned on her and chased her down would have been long-forgotten by the town’s residents who were there when it happened and likely would have been something Enns-Goneau and his contemporaries would either have not known about The next issue of Calgary Sun Headline News will soon be in your inbox But Enns-Goneau’s killing would have shattered any sense of security residents in the picturesque mountain town had come to enjoy while welcoming visitors from the world-over every year statements which showed how much the victim meant to the people of Banff but also how his death impacted how they viewed their hometown Among those who filed statements was Enns-Goneau’s partner at the time who not only spoke of the depth of her personal loss but the impact the young man’s death had on the entire community “(Arrizza) not only robbed us of a partner but he robbed the residents of Banff of a sense of security and safety when they go out at nighttime,” Pieters said a safe haven for so many that hadn’t suffered a homicide in over 32 years prior to this incident did nothing to provoke Arrizza’s deadly attack made its impact ever more profoundly disturbing to people’s sense of safety The victim had stopped into the Dancing Sasquatch after a night of bar hopping for a nightcap and immediately headed for the washroom on arrival Surveillance video of the hallway outside the men’s room showed Enns-Goneau was already beginning to undo his pants as he entered and his autopsy showed his bladder was virtually empty so in the 72 seconds it took for Arrizza to emerge from the washroom while repeatedly stabbing his victim the dead man had little time to do anything but relieve himself who had fallen into a life of drug and alcohol addiction prior to the killing had nothing to add in terms of a motive for the death Among the others who filed victim-impact statements was Mayor Corrie DiManno who wrote not only as the town’s leading representative but as someone who knew Enns-Goneau and considered him a friend “It cracked the very foundation of everything we knew to be true about our small town,” DiManno said “We believed we were immune from this extreme and senseless violence especially because it had been more than 30 years since a crime of this nature had happened in Banff.” it will be decades before residents have to learn again that violence can happen anywhere KMartin@postmedia.com This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

section 160 of Canada's Income Tax Act prevents tax debtors from trying to hide assets from the Canada Revenue Agency's tax collectors by transferring those assets to spouses The person who received property from the tax debtor becomes jointly and severally liable for the tax debtor's income tax debts The Federal Court of Appeal's decision in Enns v The King, 2025 FCA 14 illustrates that if you inherit an RRSP from a deceased person with outstanding income tax debts the CRA's tax collectors may use the derivative tax rules in section 160 to stalk you for the deceased's income tax debts But the Enns case reveals another common strategy for avoiding derivative tax liability under section 160: demonstrating that the transferor and transferee weren't in one of the relationships that triggers the derivative tax rules the appellate court confirmed that a widow isn't a "spouse" for the purposes of section 160 in Canada's Income Tax Act the derivative tax rule in section 160 didn't apply to a transfer of property that the widow inherited after her husband's death The derivative-tax-liability rule in section 160 applies if the following four conditions have been satisfied: section 160 applies to any transaction in which you received assets from a related party with outstanding tax debts and you didn't provide full consideration in return—e.g. a dividend from a tax debtor corporation a gift of cryptocurrency from a friend or relative with tax debts a monetary gift from a spouse with tax debts If a transfer triggers section 160 of Canada's Income Tax Act the transferor and the recipient both become "jointly and severally" liable for the transferor's tax debt This means that the recipient is independently liable to pay whatever amount of tax debt the transferor owed at the time of the transfer the Canada Revenue Agency's tax collectors can now chase both the original tax debtor and the derivative tax debtor for those tax debts even if the original tax debtor goes bankrupt and is thereby released from the underlying tax debt the derivative tax debtor still remains liable to the CRA until the derivative-tax debt is fully repaid (e.g., Canada v Heavyside there are a few limits to the transferee's derivative tax liability the transferee's derivative tax liability is capped at the fair market value of the transferred property the transferee's liability is also offset by the amount of any consideration that the transferee provided in exchange for the property that a corporation owes $1 million in tax debt to the CRA The corporation pays a $50,000 dividend to a shareholder and it pays $50,000 in salary to an employee The shareholder's derivative liability under section 160 is $50,000—i.e. the lesser of the corporation's tax debts and the value of the dividend doesn't trigger any derivative tax liability This is because the employee provided consideration for the $50,000 salary—namely the Canada Revenue Agency can assess you under section 160 for derivative-tax liability years after the purported transfer Canada's Excise Tax Act contains a similar derivative liability rule for GST/HST Section 325 of Canada's Excise Tax Act permits the CRA's tax collectors to assess derivative liability for GST/HST debts while section 160 of the Income Tax Act results in derivative tax liability for transfers by a person with income tax debts section 325 of the Excise Tax Act results in derivative tax liability for transfers by a person with GST/HST debts The case concerned an RRSP that the taxpayer was the sole annuitant of a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) Peter had income tax debts of over $145,000 Enns received a payout of $102,789.52 from his RRSP Enns for $102,789.52 in derivative-tax liability under section 160 of Canada's Income Tax Act the Canada Revenue Agency's tax collectors wanted Ms Enns to pay derivative tax liability that equalled the amount that she had received from Peter's RRSP In response, Ms. Enns's lawyer disputed the derivative tax assessment on Ms. Enns's behalf by filing a notice of objection to the Canada Revenue Agency's Chief of Appeals and by then filing a notice of appeal to the Tax Court of Canada During the hearing before the Tax Court of Canada Enns's husband owed over $145,000 in income tax debts at the time that Ms that the $102,789.52 RRSP payout constituted a transfer of property to Ms Enns provided no consideration to her late husband for the RRSP payout or for designating her as the beneficiary of his RRSP Enns was still Peter's "spouse" at the time that Ms Enns had received the $102,789.52 RRSP payout the question before the court was: Does the term "spouse" in section 160 of Canada's Income Tax Act include the tax debtor's widow or widower for the purposes of section 160 of Canada's Income Tax Act the term "spouse" does not include a widow or widower Enns was not Peter's "spouse" when she received the RRSP payout she cannot face derivative tax liability under section 160 Enns's lawyer cited the Tax Court of Canada's previous decision in Kiperchuk v R in which the court vacated a derivative tax assessment after considering the meaning of "spouse" in section 160 and concluding that "the status of marriage is ended by death." the CRA pointed to another Tax Court decision in which the court reached the opposite conclusion Faced with these two seemingly contrary judicial precedents the Tax Court of Canada ultimately adopted the interpretation in the Kuchta decision The court opted for the Kuchta interpretation because the reasoning in Kuchta had more explicitly and faithfully applied the principles of statutory interpretation that the Supreme Court of Canada endorsed in Canada Trustco Mortgage Co v R the parties had not explicitly raised the question of whether a "spouse" included a widow or widower Enns did not cease to be a "spouse" for the purposes of section 160 Enns's tax appeal and upheld the CRA's section 160 assessment Enns remained on the hook for over $100,000 in derivative tax liability Enns's lawyer appealed the Tax Court of Canada's decision to Canada's Federal Court of Appeal the Federal Court of Appeal found that Peter Enns's $102,789.52 RRSP had indeed been transferred directly to Ms the RRSP assets didn't pass through Peter Enns's estate an RRSP doesn't form part of the deceased's estate; it devolves directly to the designated beneficiary Peter's RRSP was transferred directly to Ms This transfer satisfied three of the four conditions in section 160 of Canada's Income Tax Act: A tax debtor's property had been transferred to another party who provided no consideration in return Enns's tax appeal turned on a single question: At the time that Ms Enns Enns received the $102,789.52 payout from Peter Enns's RRSP Enns would remain on the hook for the $102,789.52 in derivative tax liability The Federal Court of Appeal ultimately concluded that Ms Enns wasn't Peter's "spouse" at the time that she received Peter's RRSP and purposive analysis that the Supreme Court of Canada endorsed in Canada Trustco Mortgage Co v R for the purposes of section 160 of the Income Tax Act a "spouse" doesn't include a widow or widower as reflected in both law dictionaries and standard English dictionaries the term "spouse" refers to a married person the survivor ceases to be the "spouse" of the deceased the Tax Court of Canada considered the colloquial use of the word "spouse" in conversations and the court found that these sources often used the term "spouse" when referring to a widow or widower this colloquial sense of "spouse" was untenable for the purposes of section 160 of the Income Tax Act That's because section 160 also applies to transfers between common-law partners and the Income Tax Act's definition of "common-law partner" indicates that a common-law partnership ends on death if the meaning of "spouse" includes a widow or widower then section 160 would treat married couples and common-law partners differently—in particular imposing derivative tax liability in cases like Ms Enns's yet having no application in similar situations involving common-law partners The appellate court found no indication that Canada's Parliament sought different outcomes for married couples when analyzing the purpose of section 160 of the Income Tax Act the Federal Court of Appeal observed that the provision imposes derivative tax liability based on the fair market value of the transferred property the section 160 assessment was for the full amount of the RRSP — that is The problem is that if she withdrew the full RRSP amount to pay off the derivative tax liability then she'd need to report the entire $102,789.52 RRSP as taxable income which means that she'd incur a significant tax bill for the year in which she withdrew the RRSP funds Parliament couldn't have intended this result "Not only will she have to pay the $102,789.52 to satisfy the section 160 assessment but she will also have to pay the taxes based on adding the $102,789.52 to her income It is far from clear that Parliament would have intended this result following the death of a person's partner." [para 58] The appellate court noted that this perverse result stemmed from misinterpreting the word "spouse" by straying from its "legal and ordinary meaning" and relying on its colloquial use: when an RRSP is transferred to a designated beneficiary who was the spouse of the deceased immediately before [that person's] death could also explain why the legal and ordinary meaning of "spouse" is the correct interpretation of this word for the purposes of paragraph 160(1)(a) of the Act." [para 59] The Federal Court of Appeal therefore decided that section 160 didn't apply to Ms set aside the Tax Court's previous decision thereby cancelling over $100,000 in derivative-tax liability the Federal Court of Appeal provided some much-needed clarity by resolving the Tax Court of Canada's previously conflicting jurisprudence on the meaning of "spouse." for the purposes of the derivative tax rule in section 160 of the Income Tax Act a "spouse" does not refer to a widow or widower although the Federal Court of Appeal's Enns decision dealt with the derivative tax rule in section 160 of the Income Tax Act the decision should apply with equal effect to the analogous provisions concerning GST/HST debts in section 325 of Canada's Excise Tax Act The Enns decision does come with limits It doesn't serve as blanket relief for all widows and widowers The timing of the transfer remains a key factor the widow received her husband's RRSP proceeds after his death The Federal Court of Appeal held that the term "spouse" in section 160 doesn't refer to a widow the transfer occurred when the recipient was no longer a "spouse." As a result the derivative tax rule in section 160 didn't apply But this wouldn't hold true if the taxpayer's husband had transferred the property to her immediately before his death the transfer would occur while both individuals were still alive and married and the recipient would still be a "spouse" for the purposes of section 160 An interesting question that the appellate court didn't consider was whether the designation of the RRSP beneficiary was itself a "transfer" for the purposes of section 160 The language of section 160 covers situations where a tax debtor "transferred property by means of a trust or by any other means whatever." subsection 248(1) of Canada's Income Tax Act defines "property" as including "a right of any kind whatever." So the RRSP holder thereby transferred "indirectly or by any means whatever" to the beneficiary the right to receive the RRSP proceeds upon the holder's death This is because the beneficiary designation occurs while both spouses are still alive our expert Canadian tax lawyers have thoroughly analyzed this beneficiary-designation argument and concluded that it likely shouldn't undermine the appellate court's reasoning in Enns the designation of a beneficiary likely isn't a "transfer" in the sense required by the derivative tax rules in section 160 of Canada's Income Tax Act or in section 325 of Canada's Excise Tax Act even if the designation constitutes a transfer it's likely not a transfer of "property" as contemplated by Canada's tax legislation Our experienced Canadian tax lawyers thoroughly understand the nuances of derivative tax assessments under section 160 of the Income Tax Act and section 325 of the Excise Tax Act There are several common strategies for challenging a derivative tax assessment under section 160 or section 325 you can show that the transferee provided fair-market-value consideration at the time of the transfer or you can dispute whether the transferor owed tax at the time that the transfer occurred The Enns case reveals another common strategy: demonstrating that the transferor and transferee weren't in one of the relationships that trigger the derivative tax rules your defence will succeed only if it accords with the governing legal principles and with the available evidence JD is the founding tax lawyer of Taxpage.com and Rotfleisch & Samulovitch P.C. a Toronto-based boutique tax law corporate law firm and is a Certified Specialist in Taxation Law who has completed the CICA in-depth tax planning course Author photo courtesy Rotfleisch & Samulovitch P.C Title image: Quince Media, 3D Animation Production Company from Pixabay Provide your email address to receive a weekly list of all content posted in the past seven days Follow Canadian Accountant on our social media channels **Portions of the content in this article may be distressing and traumatizing for some people.** BANFF – Legal defence for a man charged with killing a Banff resident at a nightclub in 2022 argues the key issue for a court jury to consider is the accused’s state of mind at the time of the incident John-Christopher Arrizza, 23, is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Ethan Enns-Goneau, 26. His criminal trial began last week in Calgary Court of King’s Bench Enns-Goneau was killed outside the Dancing Sasquatch washroom in the early morning hours of Aug CCTV footage played in court shows Arrizza stabbing Enns-Goneau three times – twice to the chest and once to the abdomen after being forcefully pushed outside the nightclub washroom and into a basement hallway with his back turned and pants down Arrizza told police he was attacked inside the washroom that he was “scared” and thought Enns-Goneau was going to “overpower” him I pulled out a weapon that I never had intention of using,” he said to RCMP Cpl Sheldon Silveira in a video recorded from the back of a police cruiser that evening but I definitely got scared when someone started grabbing me and pushing me against the wall in the bathroom and I’m there alone.” who was tasked with conducting an autopsy on Enns-Goneau’s body told the court late last week of additional stab wounds and injuries that were not recorded on CCTV and thus would have occurred inside the washroom including sharp injuries to Enns-Goneau's hands “consistent with somebody holding their hands in front of them trying to defend themselves.” no other recent injuries were recorded on Arrizza that evening Multiple bar staff who testified in court noted Arrizza had been looking for his wallet at the nightclub before the attack he continued to ask police about his wallet and also asked about the whereabouts of his cell phone Prior to being apprehended outside the nightclub washroom and told he was under arrest for assault with a weapon Silveira told the court the accused said aloud to police “I f–––d him up” more than once and that “I did it.”  When being escorted to the officer’s police cruiser from the nightclub Silveira described Arrizza to be stumbling and noted his speech when people are “under the influence of intoxicating substances they tend to minimize or not understand the gravity of a situation.” “I think that was evident in this situation It was obviously a dire situation and the primary focus for the accused In video taken from the back of the police cruiser Arrizza later asked the officer if Enns-Goneau was still alive Silveira replied he was unsure but that he was “not doing well” and “not breathing.” Arrizza can be heard telling the officer voluntarily that he “feels bad He proceeded to ask Silveira how many times he “hit” Enns-Goneau to which the officer said he was not sure Upon reaching the Banff RCMP detachment shortly after 2 a.m – approximately 30 minutes after the attack on Enns-Goneau – Silveira is informed via radio by other officers who attended the scene that Enns-Goneau died of his injuries and tells Arrizza the grounds for his arrest have been changed to murder Katherin Beyak is leading

neuroscientists has received the European Neural Network Society Best Paper Award at ICANN 2024, the 33rd International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks The prestigious recognition was given for their paper “Biologically-plausible Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling from Vector Symbolic Algebra-encoded Distributions.” Research Officer at the NRC-UW Collaboration Centre Terrence Stewart and Professors Jeff Orchard and Chris Eliasmith the work describes a way that a network of spiking neurons can generate random samples from a probability distribution The distribution is encoded using vector symbolic algebra a type of compositional language embedded in a vector space “How do brains represent probability distributions and sample from them to make decisions or imagine different scenarios?,” said Nicole Dumont a PhD candidate at the Cheriton School of Computer Science “Models of such functions should be able to sample different types of structures not just numbers but things such as trajectories through a space like your office building Vector symbolic algebras provide a unifying framework for representing these different data structures and more using the properties of distributed representations “We introduced an algorithm for sampling from distributions represented in a particular vector symbolic algebra,” Dr “It enables us to sample different kinds of data structures all using the same recurrent neural network architecture We like this approach because it provides a generalizable neural circuit that could explain behaviour in the face of uncertainty for many kinds of tasks.” Dr “It would make sense that the brain would have a decision-making mechanism that can work in many different scenarios We demonstrated that capability by sampling over a few different data structures Managing uncertainty is essential for organisms manipulate and sample probabilistic information about the environment is necessary to handle uncertainty that arises in perception and decision-making the neurological basis of the mathematical descriptions of probability and uncertainty in brains remains poorly understood Previous approaches to modelling probability in neural systems have proposed methods that map random variables onto individual neurons Another approach proposes that populations of neurons represent distributions over random variables and allows biologically plausible sampling through linear decoding of values from neural activity a gap persists between mathematical probabilistic cognitive models and actual implementation by neurons A promising way to bridge this gap is to use vector symbolic algebras — a family of algebras over high-dimensional vector spaces These algebras provide a hypothesis about the structure of the latent representations that neural networks manipulate to perform cognitive tasks One such algebra is the holographic reduced representation algebra and more recent restricted forms to represent continuous data called spatial semantic pointers spatial semantic pointers offer insights into how organisms might reason about uncertainty but the ability to sample from these probabilistic representations — critical for decision-making models — remains understudied The researchers hypothesized that the holographic reduced representation algebra has advantages over the kernel mean embedding formulation for implementation in resource-constrained neural networks bounding resource requirements for representing arbitrary compositions of data as well as provides a computationally simple method for conditioning distributions The vector symbolic algebra that the researchers use to embed distributions strongly resembles techniques developed for kernel mean embeddings Sampling from vector embeddings of distributions has been explored in the context of the kernel mean embedding literature but these methods rely on internal knowledge of the feature-space encoding in the form of gradients Accessing this knowledge neurologically is problematic for two reasons: First it is hypothesized that the brain operates on cognitive representations that are compressions of the enormous volume of data that comes in through one’s senses Sampling from that underlying space would require maintaining huge repositories of sensory information with high fidelity — an expensive and improbable proposition for brain activity relying on the gradient demands maintaining information about the neural circuits that the brain uses to turn sensory information into the compressed then the brain would not only need to know how to represent data but it would also need a representation of how that representation is produced which would increase the real estate required for neural circuitry considerably turning vector symbolic algebra-encoded distributions into specific decisions or actions requires a method for sampling from those distributions directly the researchers explored Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling from the vector symbolic algebra-encoded distributions using Langevin dynamics Langevin dynamics are particularly interesting because they can be implemented by the dynamics of recurrent neural networks and because Monte Carlo sampling has been proposed as an explanation for how brains can be probabilistic yet still diverge from optimal decision-making The key contribution of their research is development of a biologically plausible sampler for distributions encoded using the holographic reduced representation algebra They argue that this approach is biologically plausible the vector symbolic algebra adopted as their feature space embedding was developed in the context of cognitive modelling and is used to implement models that can be readily translated into neural networks by not relying on knowledge of the gradient of the encoding scheme they avoid the cost of representing the gradient in neurons the use of Langevin dynamics adds biological plausibility since they are readily implemented by neural networks These biological advantages extend beyond cognitive modeling They also have practical implications for neuromorphic hardware where they can offer improved energy efficiency To learn more about the research on which this article is based, please see P.
