What does "selling" look like for the Maple Leafs? Laying out a 2026 trade deadline game plan
The Toronto Maple Leafs should be in sell mode at the trade deadline for the first time in a decade. That much is clear, and I don’t think anybody would argue otherwise at this point. Sitting eight p...

The dangerous game of tanking, give Villeneuve his look, and still buying: Leaflets
If there was any optimism left about the Toronto Maple Leafs’ season, it should have disappeared late Thursday night in Seattle. Now ten points back of the final wild card spot with 28 games remaining, the Leafs have just a 2.5% chance of making the playoffs according to MoneyPuck. The question of whether or not…

Amber Bracken is one of Canada’s greatest photojournalists, and for the RCMP to mistake observers for participants, arrest her and prevent her from doing her vital work is a deeply dangerous precedent. This case is important for all of us.
Reminder: journalists get arrested in Canada too.
In fact, The Narwhal is in court right now challenging the RCMP for arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken. Our editor-in-chief,Carol Linnitt, testifies today and Monday, and court is open to the public if you're in Vancouver.

Toronto seriously needs to look at this, AND the province should also.
Like people *haaaaaate* being stuck in traffic. Complaints about the tolls evaporated VERY quickly once people saw the impact and improvement.

As expected, drives into Manhattan grew notably faster following congestion pricing.
But local journeys outside the toll zone also sped up a bit – and there are *lots* of them.
To the researchers’ surprise, those driving outside Manhattan collectively saved 5x more hours than toll payers(!).
