FOUR TIMES as many NHL players have no-movement clauses than all NBA, NFL, and MLB players COMBINED. The NHL/NHLPA should fix this broken system. Either eliminate/curtail the clauses, or compensate teams that are disproportionately impacted ($, draft picks). #NHLTradeDeadline

Based on sketches and info I’ve seen, Graham Avenue is going to look super cool in just a few weeks. And the city managed to roughly 3x its initial contribution by partnering with other organizations & funders. ✅ Graham Ave ✅ Portage & Main ✅ New transit network BIG week.

New housing is expensive and not affordable to the poor. But the people who can afford to live in the new building vacate their old home, which is affordable. The affordability benefits of new housing are indirect.

Michael Wiebe For anyone curious, there is actual data on this. For every 100 new market rate units, nearly 70 units become available to below median income households, 31 of which are in the bottom quintile (!). tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
