Continuing a stunning and meteoric rise, 19-y.o. Canadian Bianca Andreescu is the 2019 #USOpen champion, hanging on even as things went awry to outlast an adrift Serena Williams.

6-3, 7-5.

Andreescu has not lost since March, and is 8-0 against the Top 10. Utterly unreal.

For some perspective on the #yyc biz PTax challenge. Here's a short thread.

It's all about the drop in property values downtown.

The Bow was worth $1.4b in 2015. Today, it's down to $775m.

At today's rates, that loss means ~$12m/yr lower muni govt revenue. From one building.

The fact that Canada is having constitutional debates about the size of Toronto's city council because the Premier of Ontario wants to be the Mayor of Toronto might ultimately be proof that Toronto really is the centre of the universe.

A great insight by @CalgaryEconomic about the economic impacts of amateur sport! Did you know that amateur sport in #Calgary supports nearly 2.3% of our City's employment, with a GDP impact of approximately $1.1 billion?

Canada's dairy rules are so unfair to the US that we only imported a minuscule $557m of dairy from them, while exporting an enormous $113m to them, resulting in us ripping them off to tune of them having a $445m dairy trade surplus with us.
