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.

Usually, top management takes the view that middle managers are the most dispensable when times get shaky. How do you best protect yourself? If you find yourself in an uncertain job situation, how do you best protect yourself? Most knee-jerk moves don’t work out, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider making a move if you’re convinced it’s the right opportunity. Being invaluable is what moves you from generalist middle management into the essential category.

The Montreal Protocol was a significant international effort that unfolded after the discovery of a hole developing in the ozone layer above Antarctica. He said although policy makers probably weren’t thinking about Arctic sea ice when the protocol was signed, it does carry lessons for changing the course of a warming planet. Only after a couple years of finding out about the development of the ozone hole, the international community took action,” he said. But he said the main result — that the Montreal Protocol is delaying an ice-free Arctic summer — is “robust” and he expected others would come to the same conclusion. “When we correct for that underestimation, we get steeper declining trends in the future, and an earlier projected day of an ice-free Arctic,” Gillett said.

© Andrew Lahodynskyj/The Canadian Press Canadian professional golfer Adam Hadwin, left, is stopped by a security guard while he tries to celebrates with Nick Taylor, of Canada, after Taylor won the Canadian Open championship on the fourth playoff hole in Toronto on Sunday. Nick Taylor's victory on Sunday at the Canadian Open at Toronto's Oakdale Golf and Country Club was certainly something to celebrate. Taylor was the first Canadian to win the title since 1954, and that didn't seem lost on Adam Hadwin. The fellow Abbotsford, B.C., native was one of the the first to rush the green in celebration, spraying champagne at Taylor and his caddie. I'm thrilled to report that @ahadwingolf is still among the land of the living and in true Canadian form, apologized to the security guard for being tackled."

Suggested text, auto-complete, recommendation engines, translation tools, voice assistants — all of these fall near or under the broad definition of "artificial intelligence." Consumer-friendly versions of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E have increased the public's awareness of the incredible power and risks of this technology. Here's what that means in practice:No CBC journalism will be published or broadcast without direct human involvement and oversight. No surprises: audiences will be made aware of any AI-generated content before they listen, view or read it. We will not feed confidential or unpublished content into generative AI tools for any reason.

And the 76th Tony Awards, arguably Broadway’s biggest night, did indeed proceed Sunday — albeit unscripted — despite an ongoing writers’ strike that hung a question mark over the event for weeks. In addition to the award for best play, “Leopoldstadt” also collected trophies for direction of a play (Patrick Marber), featured actor (Brandon Uranowitz) and costumes (Brigitte Reiffenstuel). It was crowned best musical and also earned awards for best score (David Lindsay-Abaire and Jeanine Tesori), leading actress (Victoria Clark, earning the second Tony of her career) and featured actress (Bonnie Milligan). But despite winning the Olivier Award for best new play last year, the production wasn’t nominated for that same accolade on Broadway. J. Harrison Ghee made history with Alex Newell, who both became the first openly non-binary people to win Tony Awards for acting.
