ANALYSIS: Would a bigger convention centre just be a bigger waste of money? | TVO Today The premier wants to compete for the largest conventions in North America. The math doesn’t add up.

New from me at TVO, arguing that convention centres are a colossal waste of money and whether Toronto attracts the annual conference of dental surgeons is simply not a pressing public policy matter. www.tvo.org/article/anal...

ANALYSIS: How to remember Giorgio Mammoliti? | TVO Today The long-time politician’s tragic death leaves behind a grieving family. He also made public life more crude and less civil.

Just read @spaikin.bsky.social's excellent piece following the passing of Giorgio Mammoliti.

It's refreshing to see a piece that asks whether we must lionize recently departed public figures, if the conduct of their life did not merit it.

I agree with Steve - politeness must defer to the truth.

Exile in Ontario: How the Russian royal family came to an end in Toronto | TVO Today Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna went from living in a palace to dying above a barbershop.

I don't know how I didn't know that the last Romanov died not far from where I live in a small apartment on Gerrard Street East.

Canada and India have been estranged for years, but shifting global alliances are driving a reset. @jeyantvo.bsky.social speaks with @vinanadjibulla.bsky.social (@asiapacificfdn.bsky.social) about Mark Carney’s visit, trade talks, energy cooperation and what comes next.

“It doesn’t feel like we’ve turned the page here in Canada, but... in Delhi and Mumbai, it does feel like a new moment.” After years of strain, Canada–India relations may be turning a corner, @vinanadjibulla.bsky.social (@asiapacificfdn.bsky.social) tells @jeyantvo.bsky.social | Prod: Preeti Bhuyan

“I’m not comfortable with Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu deciding who the good guys and bad guys are in the world.” — former Canadian ambassador Jon Allen (@utoronto.ca) on the attack on Iran, with @maralkay.bsky.social (@torontomet.bsky.social) & @jeyantvo.bsky.social | Producer: Preeti Bhuyan

For years, ovaries were often removed during hysterectomies — a practice with lasting consequences. On an upcoming live (MIS)Treated, Dr. Marie Christakis (@sinaihealthtoronto.bsky.social) tells @namshine.bsky.social what surgical menopause is and why more research is needed.

ANALYSIS: How to remember Giorgio Mammoliti? | TVO Today The long-time politician’s tragic death leaves behind a grieving family. He also made public life more crude and less civil.

"Mammoliti clearly loved politics. He certainly ran for office often enough, even when it was apparent he had no shot at winning. But he also made politics more crude, less civil, and often behaved badly when he was in it." — @spaikin.bsky.social

"For me the big red flag is: does it end in the supplement shop?"

IMO this is the question we should always be asking when it comes to privatized health care - especially for historically stigmatized issues like menopause.

“We’re seeing a big boom in private menopause clinics… sometimes that is appropriate. But at the same time, it’s a huge opportunity for wellness grift.” — @docmcohen.medsky.social to @namshine.bsky.social on an upcoming (MIS)Treated podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/m...

ANALYSIS: Ottawa shouldn’t be trading submarines for cars | TVO Today Tying a major defence purchase to Ontario’s auto sector makes a certain kind of sense. That doesn’t make it right.

The trade upheaval with the US is putting Canadian auto manufacturing on the brink of irrelevance.

Politicians need to turn away from using protectionist policy to turn it into a second dairy cartel - producing expensive, mediocre products that are worthless for export.
