2024-04-0537 minThis MattersWhat we saw on Toronto budget dayOn Valentine’s Day, hours before the Toronto women’s hockey team continued its rise in the standings, city council met to debate the mayor’s budget. Police got the money they were demanding: was that a good move or bad move by the mayor? And who knew plowing out the end of driveways would be the cause that united everyone? Meanwhile, a tax increase that was for years considered the third rail of Toronto politics seems less electric now that it’s done. PLUS: Emma’s most controversial architecture opinion.

Women TodayHow to Craft a Vision for 2022 with Self-Compassion & EaseWe have officially entered 2022, but just because the date on the calendar has changed, doesn't mean that the circumstances of our lives will immediately shift or change for the better.
