If you don’t think you can make money on a WNBA team in 2026 sell your team and get the fuck out of the way
The NBA claims the WNBA will lose $700 million over the course of the agreement if the player's offer is accepted. That is complete nonsense. And anyone with a calculator could show this.
In the next week I will post the math for people who don't own a calculator.

Every. Single. Thing.
Every single thing that the Ford government does makes our province worse. Every single thing.
The Doug Ford government dropped tire recycling targets, but consumers are still paying eco fees on tires, and there have been job losses for those who used to collect and recycle tires. This is horrible for both the environment and for workers.

The same is true for our City infrastructure like roads and sidewalks. Councils of the past were obsessed with keeping taxes artificially low, so they “kicked the can down the road”. Eventually, though, things fail and must be replaced. The downside - there’s a higher cost to doing it later.

This is more than twice the amount of money paid to every writer in Canada in royalties who has had their book taken out of a library in the past year.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.
The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.

Something that is easy to forget in all the "Carney is a political genius / Carney is a political naif" argle bargle is that climate policies matter. Environmental regulations matter. Getting rid of them may or may not achieve a political end — but it's guaranteed to have real-world implications.
