Toronto’s uneven growth, a scientist’s fight against Toronto hospitals and Ontarios’ new budget.

Toronto is growing rapidly, but only a few neighbourhoods have sky-high buildings and limited greenspace. It’s no coincidence that a few blocks away from the crowded St. James Town there’s Rosedale, sitting low with its wide, tree-lined streets; it’s the result of deliberate policy choices. For decades, zoning rules have kept anything denser than detached or semi-detached houses from being built in huge parts of the city.

A controversial blood drug, funding from Apotex and accusations of a whitewash. This scientist has spent decades fighting Toronto hospitals Dr. Nancy Olivieri first raised the alarm over deferiprone in the 1990s. As one of the first scientists to test the drug, she began to doubt its efficacy and safety. After speaking out, the drugmaker tried to silence her. She was demoted at work, pushed to the margins and ostracized. Eventually, the debate settled, and the drug wasn’t licensed in the U.S. or Canada. But decades later, Olivieri began to hear from patients that they were taking it.
