@thestar.com I don't understand why Rosie DiManno gets as much print as she does. But she clearly knows fuck all about baseball. What a joke, two guys being charged criminally and you're manager of the year. Take your last place team to the WS and Rosie ignores that

That an ex-con, enriched by a speculative activity that is both utterly useless & environmentally destructive, in cahoots with a despot who threatens our country, now tops the ranks of Canadian capitalism, proves we've gone right off the rails. Time to think big about change.

An absolute disgrace. No mention of improving health care to a mediocre level, or improving public health, or pharmacare, or recruiting doctors and nurses in the transformational Liberal budget however, just tax cuts for the wealthy.
As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...
Canada loses measles elimination status — as does the entire Americas region
Canada has formally lost its measles elimination status, the country’s public health agency announced, triggering the loss of that status throughout all of the Americas.

Only 40% of these units are "affordable".
What's "affordable"?
CMHC definition: 30% of pre-tax income. But household pre-tax income varies a lot in Toronto.
Before Carney's Build Canada Homes program, "affordable" = below 80% of median market rent.
