Your first look at the new #TeamCanada x @lululemon Olympic uniforms (spoiler: they’re good), Leanne Delap writes. thestar.com/life/fashion_s…
Lululemon took the reins from Hudson's Bay, which had designed the uniforms since 2006 (except for 2016, when DSquared did the honours). Lululemon's Olympics term begins with the 2022 Beijing Winter Games and ends with the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. thestar.com/life/fashion_s…
All the items can be customized: hoods zip off parkas and vests can be shortened with leftover bits turned into quilted scarves (even travel pillows!). thestar.com/life/fashion_s…
The items were tested for winter conditions at the brand’s Vancouver “climate chamber,” a room that simulates real-world conditions (Beijing, for example, could vary between -10 Celsius and +10 Celsius at the time of the Games in February 2022). thestar.com/life/fashion_s…

They were excited to get back on the ice, but now this older men's hockey league is facing their worst nightmare,

They're recovering from COVID-19, one of their teammates dead, and wondering if this tragedy could have been averted.

thestar.com/local-newmarke…
“It’s just strange,” mused Brian Dunn, of Thornhill. “15 guys who played separate nights, different change rooms, days apart, one tragic death. We vacillate between absolutely pissed off and sad … I lost my best friend.”

All vaccinated, their rink re-opened in September.

It was a chance to get back to "normal" — and it felt that way until sore throat and headaches began.

Green Party Leader Annamie Paul still hasn’t officially resigned.

Now her party is again trying to force her out. It’s the latest development in the bitter and drawn-out power struggle that erupted inside the party over the past year. torstar.co/QQXe50GA4UZ
Two senior sources inside the Green party said negotiations between party lawyers and Paul’s legal team — which started soon after Paul announced she would resign as Green leader on Sept. 27 — are facing obstacles that are “entirely financial.” thestar.com/politics/feder…
The sources said the talks are playing out as the federal Green party wrestles with a “dire” financial situation that saw 11 staff members — almost half the organization’s remaining employees — laid off last week. thestar.com/politics/feder…

#StarInvestigation: Ford government pledged $2.5 million to Facedrive for bracelets to fight COVID — but employees say the tech "never worked like it should." thestar.com/business/2021/…
It was a small start-up with just seven-figure revenue that was suddenly worth an eye-popping $5.7 billion.

“To put it nicely, it was definitely oversold,” said one former TraceSCAN salesperson. He paused and laughed. “Even by me, to be honest.” thestar.com/business/2021/…
In the eight months since that grant, Facedrive has undergone something of a public collapse.

Its stock, traded on the TSX venture exchange, has fallen more than 98 per cent, from a high of $60/share in February to less than a dollar in late October. thestar.com/business/2021/… Image

An NDP MPP wants to give Ontario municipalities power over how many cannabis stores can open in a given neighbourhood and she hopes the hot-button topic can cross party lines. torstar.co/FPbG50GzKlR
Instead of a province-wide rule, Bill 29 would give municipalities more say in how many cannabis retail shops are in a given area, aligning the licensing system closer to that of liquor retailers.

Davenport MPP Marit Stiles tabled the same proposed legislation last year, after hearing from Business Improvement Areas in her riding as well as citizens and business owners.
