It is something of a positive that there are fish you could catch and eat in this river isnt it? At least compared to where the river's ecosystem was at one point.
Toronto's relationship with Ghana as a nation/region does not seem evidently clear to me. This smells more like virtue signaling than any real attempt to make people's actual lives better.
I am also not convinced the TPS's effectiveness is really being maximized. I know there is some really hard work and challenging situations they have to deal with and for that I am genuinely thankful - but generally my only actual experience is just seeing them clock time guarding a...
I read this as holders of Office properties are in a world of hurt right now and need to find cash to de-leverage fast. They probably did not want to sell these assets - but had to to shore up their balance sheet. US office valuations are falling off a cliff.
take your point on raising capital for mining (Toronto and London would be the leaders) - but that is a pretty small sector of the global economy (and not buzzy, high growth one like say technology). Also agree we have great talent at 70% the cost - but I dont think we have a lot of global...

The only impact will be seen in knock on effects in a US sub for the 4 that have a meaningful presence there...some deposit flight (to the largest US banks), some unrealized losses being recognized (commercial real estate the likely candidate) and increased regulatory costs (the regulators are...
I feel like there is a risk of splitting the vote on the left currently - but as noted, others may drop out - so we'll see. I also agree that Olivia Chow is not the most dynamic politician so she struggle to grow out of her base. She does have a lot of name recognition which in municipal...
Think about something you worked really hard to achieve. It is helpful to think of something that others were competing for too. Maybe its a getting a job with a lot of applicants or a promotion, or a getting into a particular university program, maybe its winning an election, maybe its just...
I acknowledge I have not completed by Phd on this topic - but what are some places that have really solved this issue (and how transportable is that solution to us?). I can't really think of a city in North America easily. Poverty is one thing, mental health and drug addiction are complex...
