"The spillover from unmet [housing] demand in the GTA is going to splash everywhere it can find pockets of affordability that it hasn’t yet extinguished." — @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social

A new report says eastern Ontario is ill-prepared for GTA exiles searching for affordability. That’s just the start.

"Trump is the most transactional and intractable president we have ever faced. We must adapt with every arrow in our quiver. That’s what Carney is doing." — by Andrew Cohen

Another cheerful visit to Washington ends without a deal. Canadians should prepare for the long game — our prime minister (rightly) is.

"The Liberal leadership is a desirable opportunity for the brave, but no small renovation job. Does fortune really favour the bold?" — @spaikin.bsky.social

Everything is on the table for the third-place party — including some truly outside-the-box candidates.

"This is a relatively small dispute in the province with a company that the government can afford to antagonize. It’s cheap heat. It’s kicking the dog to feel slightly better about everything else that’s going wrong." — @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social

The Diageo fight gives the premier a public win in difficult times — and a low-risk adversary.

Hysterectomy is the 2nd most common surgery behind C-sections for women. It doesn’t cure endometriosis. I speak to Dr. Mathew Leonardi & Shay Freger about how endometriosis impacts 1 in 10 but remains under funded and under researched on new episode of (MIS)Treated 👇
