4 d. ago Buffalo Bills hint at possible return of NFL games in Canada

The Buffalo Bills are looking to make their mark on the Canadian market.On Tuesday, the Bills announced a joint partnership with the Toronto Argonauts and owner MLSE in an attempt to help grow the sport within Canada, particularly at the youth level.According to a release from the Bills, the new deal "represents one of the many Canadian community partnerships the Bills are planning to forge this season."Earlier this year, former Toronto athletes Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Jozy Altidore were announced as minority shareholders in the Bills, with all three of them on hand at a ceremony announcing the partnership at BMO Field.But one question that was on a lot of minds with the new deal: would the Bills ever play another game in Canada, more than a decade since their last one?Buffalo Bills' history of NFL games in CanadaFrom 2008 to 2013, the Bills played two preseason and six regular-season games in Toronto, all of which were hosted at the Argos' former hom...

1 week ago Canada needs to build homes in record numbers for a decade to drive down prices

Canada must deliver 3.2 million net new housing units by 2035 to close the country's supply gap, according to a new updated analysis by the Government of Canada's Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO).That works out to about 290,000 net new homes per year — a pace the country has never sustained. Net new takes into account the homes that have been demolished to make way for new additional homes.The report comes as household formation surges and then slows. After hitting a record 482,000 new households in 2024, the PBO projects a sharp decline in 2025 and 2026 due to recent federal policies curbing immigration. Household formation is expected to remain well below the historical average of 176,000 per year until 2030.On the construction side, the PBO expects a short-term boost, with completions averaging 256,000 units annually over the next three years. But beyond that, housing starts are forecast to fall back to historical norms, with about 2.5 million new units delivered ...
