Toronto is accused of being an unplanned city. Chaotic, with metastasizing development, bad transit and roads that don’t connect. It’s also accused of being planned too much, with suffocating, punitive and exclusionary rules. Snuffing out creativity and freedom, making the city boring. Like last week, when the possibility of small businesses in neighbourhoods was denied and sent for more consultation by Toronto city council. Endless consultation. Both things are true in Toronto. Beyond a few small plans, there was never a guiding master plan for Toronto from the beginning. Toronto grew steadily but haphazardly as large estates were subdivided into neighbourhoods and smaller villages were gobbled up as the city expanded. It’s why some streets, such as Dupont Street at Ossington Avenue, have odd kinks in them as different parts were knitted together in an imperfect quilt. This is true for many big cities. Toronto isn’t unique in making improvements while people are still living and working in it. It’s a tricky thing, and that’s where good planning comes in. It’s why cities deal with constant construction: They are eternal renovation jobs. It’s also why they’re exciting, surprising and often frustrating. Toronto is forever trying to catch up to the city it has become, scrambling to create new infrastructure. Not a new phenomenon, either. Before the Yonge Street subway was opened in 1954, photos from the preceding decade show a street completely clogged with traffic, both automobiles and streetcar after streetcar stuck in it. Twas ever thus, and surely that scene elicited the same kind of sentiments that Toronto traffic and big city life do today. Frustration is something known very well to residents of Liberty Village, a neighbourhood many Torontonians love to hate. Nearly entirely made up of residential buildings, the neighbourhood goads on Toronto’s age-old antipathy for apartment dwellers, a city where political power brokers, politicians and the cultural elite have largely been house owners. It’s also very dense, triggering Torontonian fear of actually being a big city. In other parts of town, when a neighbourhood is upset about a new development, I’ve seen “not another Liberty Village” messages. I’ve written that Liberty Village represents a hero neighbourhood because its residents take on growth other neighbourhoods refuse. That’s deliberate planning, too: Toronto forces new housing into relatively few places, slivers of land, really, where it has little choice but to go up high to accommodate all the demand, while barely allowing any growth or density in vast swaths of the city . It’s a planning regime supported and upheld by resident groups across the city, but also by politicians on the left and right alike, a neat political dovetail. Even Premier Doug Ford, bullish on homebuilding in rhetoric, has proven to be deeply NIMBY in action by refusing to push through reforms that might actually allow more kinds of homes built in more places . Consequently Toronto has heavy-lifting neighbourhoods like Liberty Village with big city density, which is completely fine, but lacking amenities, a quality public realm and transportation options. There should be a grand bargain: If our leaders are going to stuff so many people into the same places, they ought to be provided with fantastic infrastructure. Theoretically, anyway. There are efforts — more planning — to add some of this in. A big new park at 34 Hanna Avenue is currently in the early design phase and could be a great city square kind of place. It’s a block north of the Exhibition GO station currently being upgraded for better train service, also anticipating the Ontario Line subway eventually terminating there. (It’s a Metrolinx project, so predict when at your own risk.) Critically, but unfortunately, there’s Smart Track, former mayor John Tory’s nearly imaginary 2014 campaign promise best known for its incredible and consistent shrinkage, from 22 stations to just five. It was to create King-Liberty station and give area residents another proper way to get in and out of their neighbourhood. With ever-tighter budgets, city council voted to prioritize just three of the remaining SmartTrack stations during their December council meeting: St. Clair-Old Weston, Bloor-Lansdowne and East Harbour, leaving King-Liberty and Finch-Kennedy in limbo as good projects but waiting for somebody, anybody, to fund them . With all due respect to the folks around any of those stations, none are located by the kind of heaving density that exists in Liberty Village. Work was underway, too, as properties on the north side of the proposed King-Liberty station were demolished to create space for it, including the loss of legendary music and club venue, 99 Sudbury. Toronto’s exclusionary planning regime is already troublesome. If both Toronto and the province of Ontario can’t find funding for King-Liberty Station quickly, it puts the lie to how Toronto has planned itself and is an insult to every hero resident of Liberty Village who might have thought there was a grand bargain at work. King-Liberty must be built.United Cup Day 3 Predictions Including Alexander Zverev vs Thiago Monteirosport betting business 。

Trump Media & Technology, which owns Truth Social, brings in almost no revenue, and the stock became something of an avatar for the Trump campaign before the election. Now that he's won, investors seem unsure about what to make of the stock. Additionally, the stock moved on reports that it was in talks to buy a cryptocurrency trading platform. Overall, the stock finished the month down 11%, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence . As you can see from the chart below, the stock swung up and down over the month, though it traded in negative territory for nearly the entirety of the month. ^SPX data by YCharts. Trump Media whiffs on the election Most investors in Trump Media stock probably expected the stock to go up after the election, and that did happen briefly. Shares of Trump Media initially surged on Nov. 6, the day after the election, and they cooled off to finish that session up 6%. However, they plunged the following day as it seemed there was no direct benefit to Trump's winning the White House, and they would remain below their closing price the day before the election for nearly the rest of the month. The other big piece of news out on the company was that it was in advanced talks to buy Bakkt , a publicly traded cryptocurrency trading platform that's majority owned by Intercontinental Exchange , according to the Financial Times . The news outlet said the deal would be an all-stock purchase. The valuation was unclear, but Bakkt's market cap is currently $155 million. That report dovetails with Trump's recent embrace of crypto, and Trump Media is also considering launching its own crypto payment service, according to The New York Times . What's next for Trump Media At this point, Trump Media seems to be a call option on the power of the Trump name and the company becoming something more than the business currently is, as Truth Social is not a significant revenue driver. Trump Media is launching a streaming service, but the crypto play is intriguing and a good way for the company to leverage the power of the Trump name and his followers. Until the business starts generating material revenue, investors should be skeptical of the stock, but there is potential for the company here if it can leverage the value of its stock into a real business.

Manipur: Bandh called over killing of village volunteer cripples normal life in Imphal

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was limited with the right shoulder injury that sidelined him last week and there is growing concern about the long-term status of left tackle Trent Williams. Wednesday's practice was not the start to the NFL workweek head coach Kyle Shanahan had hoped after Purdy was unable to bounce back from a shoulder injury in Week 11. Brandon Allen started at Green Bay and the 49ers (5-6) lost 38-10 with the backup-turned-starter committing three turnovers. Williams was reportedly spotted in the locker room with a knee scooter and is experiencing pain walking. He played through an ankle injury against the Seattle Seahawks Nov. 17. Defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) also missed practice Wednesday, leaving the 49ers to spend the holiday plotting to play the Buffalo Bills (9-2) without the three Pro Bowlers again. "I don't know anyone who gets Thanksgiving off unless maybe you have a Monday night game. You just start a lot earlier and get the players out," Shanahan said. "We cram everything in so the players get out, tries to be home with the family by 5. I usually get home by 7 and they're all mad at me, then get back to red-zone (installation)." The 49ers are in danger of a three-game losing streak for the first time since Oct. 2021. Injuries have been a common thread since September when running back Christian McCaffrey was a surprise scratch with an Achilles injury for the opener. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) is out for the season at a position dinged from top to bottom. Star linebacker Fred Warner also is ailing and said Wednesday that he fractured a bone in his ankle on Sept. 29 against the New England Patriots. The game against the Bills will mark his eighth straight game playing with the injury. "It's something I deal with every game," Warner said. "I get on that table before every game and get it shot up every single game just to be able to roll. But it's not an excuse. It's just what it is. That's the NFL. You're not going to be healthy. You've got to go out there, you've got to find ways to execute, to play at a high level and to win every single week." Shanahan wasn't interested in injury talk. He said the 49ers have not played well in the past two weeks, and puts part of his focus on getting more out of the running game with snow in the forecast on Sunday night. He's not in agreement with pundits who doubt McCaffrey's ability early into his return from injured reserve, with a per-carry average of 3.5 yards compared to 5.4 in 2023. "The speculation on Christian is a little unfair to him," Shanahan said. "Christian is playing very well. He's playing his ass off. To think a guy who misses the entire offseason is going to come back and be the exact same the day he comes back would be unfair to any player in the world." San Francisco opened the 21-day practice window for linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl in February. His return date is unclear. --Field Level MediaSAN DIEGO, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robbins LLP reminds investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE: WOLF) securities between August 16, 2023 and November 6, 2024. Wolfspeed is a global semiconductor company focused on silicon carbide materials and the fabrication of devices for power applications. For more information, submit a form , email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003. The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Wolfspeed, Inc (WOLF) Misled Investors Regarding its Revenue Projections According to the complaint, defendants provided the public with revenue projections that depended on the Mohawk Valley fabrication facility ramping its production to meet and/or exceed demand for its 200mm wafer product. Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Wolfspeed’s growth potential and, in particular, the operational status and profitability of the Mohawk Valley fabrication facility. First, to meet its publicly stated projections, the Company would have to cancel or otherwise indefinitely suspend planned future projects such as the facility in Saarland, Germany. Second, the Company would have to terminate a significant portion of its workforce (approximately 20%) and shutter the Durham fabrication facility. Plaintiff alleges that on November 6, 2024, Wolfspeed announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and unveiled guidance for the second quarter well below expectations. While defendants had repeatedly claimed that 20% utilization of the Mohawk Valley fabrication facility would result in $100 million revenue out of the facility, defendants now guided to a range 30% to 50% below that mark. The Company attributed its results and lowered guidance to “demand ... ramp[ing] more slowly than we originally anticipated” as “EV customers revise their launch time lines as the market works though this transition period.” On this news, Wolfspeed’s stock price fell from $13.71 per share on November 6, 2024, to $8.33 per share on November 7, 2024, a decline of about 39.24%. What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against Wolfspeed, Inc.
