Recent changes to Alberta’s child-care system are a mixed bag of immediate and long-term adjustments. These changes have set up a system that pits families against each other, funds care without incentivizing quality, and leaves child-care workers behind.

23 h. ago Questions about Wayne Gretzky's allegiance to Canada surface during 4 Nations

Even over a quarter century after his last NHL game, few people in the sporting world can draw eyeballs quite like Wayne Gretzky.Prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game last night in Boston, Gretzky joined Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby, American captain Auston Matthews, and 1980 Olympic gold medallist Mike Eruzione for the ceremonial puck drop.Gretzky was named the honorary captain on the evening for Team Canada, but it wasn't without a few eyebrows being raised. He entered the ice from the American bench, gave a thumbs up to the American players, and appeared to not even acknowledge Canada nor wear any gear for the team.Gretzky:Enters through US benchGives thumbs up to US playersWears no red or NOTHING repping CanadaDoesn’t even look Team Canada’s wayHe’s a traitor & MAGA cowardGood riddance. #4nations pic.twitter.com/1YqguI3yqF— Alex 🇨🇦 (@alex_upnorth) February 21, 2025Gretzky hasn't exactly kept his political thoughts hidden over the last...

27 h. ago Hard loft meets cabin vibes in this unconventional $4.5 million Ontario house

It's rare for a listing to outright say that a property might not be "right" for a buyer.Generally, sales strategies are employed to maximize the potential buyer pool, not minimize it. But 55 Chisholm St. is a very unconventional home, so when Engelbrecht Associates say "this is not a property for everyone," it kind of makes sense. The main floor. Located in West Harbour in Oakville, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom house is a bold mix of industrial design and the cozy charm of a Muskoka cottage. The dining room. You have a soapstone fireplace mixed with polished concrete floors juxtaposed with a hyper-modern bright blue Scavolini kitchen. It shouldn't work, but somehow it does. The living room. The main floor of the house is an open concept space, where every room flows together. The fireplace. At the heart of the space is the soapstone fireplace that is reminicent of Swedish tile hearths that are used to heat homes, as t...
