The Raptors have the 13th pick in the June 22 NBA draft and, with less than two weeks remaining until they are on the clock, crunch time is approaching. More of a passer in one college season limited by back issues, he does seem to be a hustle-type defender, which is a skill that should translate to the NBA. Keyonte George, 19The six-foot-four Baylor freshman guard may be a bit on the small size for a combo guard, which is where he likely ends up. Not a great shooter in one college season, but he could be a scoring threat on a young, torn-down roster if that’s the way the Raptors go. Gradey Dick, 19The six-foot-six Kansas freshman wing can shoot, and the Raptors as a team didn’t shoot nearly well enough this past season.

On April 19, 2023, the Alberta government released its Emissions Reduction and Energy Development Plan [PDF] (the Alberta Plan), which aligns with the federal target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 but does not accept certain federal emissions reduction targets for 2030. In this blog post, we highlight some aspects of the Alberta Plan, including where it conflicts with federal plans to achieve a national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction of 40–45% (below 2005 levels) by 2030. Overview of the Alberta PlanAt a high level, the Alberta Plan seeks to maintain energy security and position Alberta as a leader in emissions reductions, while attracting investment, working with Indigenous communities and supporting jobs. Notably, the Alberta Plan rejects the goal of requiring a net-zero electricity grid by 2035 as stated in the federal government's 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan. The Alberta Plan states that this federal goal is not technologically feasible and threatens electricity affordability and reliability.

The Denver Nuggets refused to give up on Jamal Murray on his long and difficult rehabilitation after knee surgery: no knee-jerk reaction to a tough break, no resets, no trades, no panic. Just organizational patience and poise in the knowledge that when Murray got all the way back, anything was possible. Anything became something special in Denver on Monday night, when Murray and the Nuggets captured the NBA championship with a 94-89 win over the Miami Heat to win the series in five games. It was the first championship in the 47-year NBA history of the Nuggets franchise. Jokic, Murray and Gordon all battled foul trouble and Denver was an abysmal 1-for-15 from three-point range in the first half.

For months now, Pierre Poilievre has railed against the role so-called “gatekeepers” play in delaying the construction of much-needed new housing in Canada’s cities. There’s just one wrinkle in Poilievre’s argument: a lot of these “gatekeepers” happen to be his fellow conservatives. “Calgary City Council was presented with a series of recommendations to deliver more housing,” Aitchison tweeted. But the gatekeepers stood their ground.” Rempel-Garner was even more explicit in her condemnation of the city’s conservative councillors. Calgary’s city council reversed its decision the very next day, with only Sean Chu — a councillor who shares constituents with Rempel-Garner — still voting against.

Tuesday will be the final day for all 13 Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores across Canada, the retailer has announced. The U.S. department store chain, which announced in March that its Canadian operation would be shutting down (new window), said on its website that June 13 will be its last day in business. Liquidation sales started in March and have been proceeding for weeks as the retailer winds down its operations in Canada after less than a decade in business. Although virtually every retailer was impacted by the pandemic, department stores like Nordstrom were hit perhaps harder than any other type of store, because they have such a large and expensive physical footprint. Some stores may close earlier, if they have run out of inventory to sell.

Thank fossil fuel billionaires, writes Kate Aronoff in The Guardian. Key quote:"It makes sense that anyone facing conditions as awful as those caused by the smoke this week would get angry. The trick is to get angry at the right people: fossil fuel billionaires who couldn’t care less about the horrors they’ve unleashed", Aronoff argues. Big picture:The long-term global health impacts of toxic smoke pollution and ongoing fossil fuel use are significant. Air pollution from burning fossil fuels is responsible for one in five deaths worldwide, with approximately 10 million deaths per year attributed to air pollution.
