11 h. ago Kawhi Leonard told Raptors teammates he'd leave Toronto 'from day one'

While Toronto Raptors fans were disappointed to see Kawhi Leonard depart the organization, his teammates weren't surprised whatsoever.Toronto celebrated the Raptors' championship in 2019, before attention quickly turned to Leonard's future with the team. The ensuing hoopla reached a fever pitch, with the LA Clippers, LA Lakers, and Raptors reportedly in the running to sign him. The Raptors did all they could to keep him, but former teammate Fred VanVleet wasn't surprised in the least that he left. "He said it from day one.

I'm not staying here.'"Many Raptors fans felt it easier to forgive Leonard over his decision given the effort he put forth on the court during his lone season in Toronto. VanVleet, who is now a member of the Houston Rockets organizati...

Climate and clean-air organizations across the province are sounding the alarm this week after Toronto quietly stalled a decision that could determine the future of the city's biggest source of smog and pollution. Instead of moving forward with a plan to phase out gas burning at the Portlands Energy Centre, a 550-megawatt natural gas electrical generating station in Toronto, non-profit organizations like the Ontario Clean Air Alliance say the City, in delaying action, has purchased critical climate targets even further out of reach. At its Dec. 4 meeting, the City's Infrastructure and Environment Committee, instead of advancing Councillor Dianne Saxe's motion to start planning a phase-out of the Portlands gas plant, referred the item to a single municipal official for "consideration," without attaching a deadline for a report back. "We need a deadline — not another delay — to end Portland's gas plant pollution,...
