🔊 “So now everybody's paying attention and at the same time it's happening while the broader stock market is falling … And that makes people panic.”

“And panic is the worst thing that could happen for investments.”

🔊 “Have people been sold a fantastic idea of a great investment, and it’s really not?”

“I think they’ve been bamboozled in the way that they’ve been sold this very utopian dream. But nothing is ever going to be that great.”

Charlie Montoyo, in his fourth season as @BlueJays manager, knows that family time is limited. His wife, Samantha, and teen sons, Alex and Tyson, join him in Toronto from May to July, while school is out in Arizona where they live.⚾

@RBradyGlobe reports: tgam.ca/3QoZJoR
Before every home game during their months together, Alex walks to Rogers Centre with his dad from their downtown condo. The kid chills in the clubhouse, fist-bumps players and staff, and watches batting practice from the dugout. tgam.ca/3QoZJoR Image
When mom Samantha and older brother Tyson get to the game later, Alex watches with them from a suite. It’s better there for a manager’s family. Fans in the stands often mutter nasty stuff if a game isn’t going well. tgam.ca/3QoZJoR

Wild boars are one of the most invasive, adaptable and destructive mammals on the planet. They can live almost anywhere and eat anything. They’re disastrous to agriculture and spread bacteria.🐗

Populations in Canada are exploding. How can we fight back? tgam.ca/3Oj2Qg2
Pigs were first introduced to North America by the Spanish in the 1500s, and wild populations have existed – and caused problems – to varying extents on the continent ever since. tgam.ca/3Oj2Qg2 Image
In the late 1990s, as wild boar farms approached the height of their popularity in Canada, interactions with escaped boars were increasingly common, and consistently astonishing for those who encountered them. tgam.ca/3Oj2Qg2 Image

🏘️One hundred years ago, Toronto was in the midst of an acute housing shortage.

@IreneHGalea looks at how policies rooted in Toronto’s housing crisis of 1922 still make homes unaffordable today.

tgam.ca/3zLnamd
In 1922, as now, finding housing was a challenge for Torontonians without significant wealth.

But at a time when affordable rental properties were needed most, less than 0.17 per cent of dwellings built were apartment buildings.

tgam.ca/3zLnamd ImageImage
"Apartment-houses" were not welcomed by wealthy neighbours and city administrators.

For the Protestant city, apartment-dwelling families were expected to have fewer children, which was considered an unethical constraint on the natural order.
