Travel, the one luxury many of us would say that we can’t do without. As we know, Canada, and particularly our home of Burlington, is a place that spoils us with destinations to visit and stunning landscapes to take in. However, sometimes we want to make it a little bit further than our own neighbourhood, spread our wings, and make that travel international. In some cases, that even extends to visiting our neighbours to the south – the good old US of A.
 Beaches and casinos – almost as far as the eye can see. One destination often overlooked – largely because of its proximity to one of the world’s biggest metropolises, New York – is Atlantic City. Yes, it might be dwarfed in its scale by another casino-adjacent center of tourism in Las Vegas, but it has a lot going for it on a number of different fronts.
So what should Canadian visitors to New Jersey’s answer to Vegas know about the city and what tips should they follow?
A Casino Destination Without Hours of Travel
Las Vegas is the biggest gaming destination in the US. In fact, it can probably claim to be the biggest in the world, alongside Macau and Monaco. However, Burlington to Vegas means at least five hours of travelling if you’re going by air. Otherwise, you’re looking at a huge two-day driving time. Alternatively, a trip on the road from Burlington to Atlantic City and its nine casino venues is a much less daunting nine hours – that’s just one hour for every casino.
Convenience is a big part of modern life, and it goes beyond just travel times and choosing your destination. If Atlantic City wasn’t an option, Canadians would find themselves faced with the lengthy journey to Vegas.
However, the Internet has made a massive change to that, and this is evidenced by the boom in sites like Karamba casino CA, where players can use their computer or mobile device to play the table games or slots found at Vegas casino floors. No longer are players required to visit physical locations.
Keep the Budget in Check by Booking Smart
Travel isn’t cheap and we’re certainly feeling the pinch in 2025. Once you’ve factored in your travel, food, and accommodation, you can very quickly start to see your cost spiral. If you’re not careful, you’ll have to cut back on what you wanted to do while there. It doesn’t matter if that’s eating, gambling, or even just having a couple of beers.
However, to keep the restrictions of expense at bay, there are things that you have control over. For example, Hotels.com explains that Atlantic City is a big weekend destination for tourists, meaning the hotels are booked up. It makes sense – who wouldn’t want a night out on the town over the weekend?
But if you’re willing to make your trip a midweek one, without sacrificing the fun of Atlantic City, you will be able to find much cheaper hotels. That, coupled with free drinks and food at the casino tables, can help you save some extra cash for other uses.
Use New Jersey as a Base for Further Exploration
Atlantic City isn’t just nearby as far as us Burlington residents are concerned. New Jersey sits in a unique position, close to a number of great destinations for tourists. Yes, we may have had some rivalry with New York over the years, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that the Big Apple is a great city.
 The city that never sleeps: Hop, skip and a jump from Atlantic city. Visiting NJ doesn’t mean you have to stay in NJ. Instead, make the short hop over to the City That Never Sleeps and grab a sliver of pizza, take a walk through Central Park, or catch a show on Broadway.
And it’s not just New York City that you should visit. If you’re on something of a road trip or happy grabbing a train, you can visit other great cities like Philadelphia. If you manage to line your dates up just right, you could drop in and attend a Philadelphia Eagles game, fresh on the back of the franchise winning the 2025 Super Bowl.
Then, if you’re something of a politico, you can reach a little further out and make the journey to the United States’ capital city, Washington D.C. – though, that may be a little dry. Either way, there’s plenty going for Atlantic City!

Timing is everything – isn’t it?
The Honourable Ruby Sahota, Minister of Democratic Institutions and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario announced that over $24 million to support 10 businesses in southern Ontario.
$3.5 million was allotted to Tempel Canada, a leading supplier of transformer core products for power conversion and distribution to the Central, Midwest, and Eastern U.S.
 Ouch – the President of the United States is said to be about to declare a 25% tariff on everything that is imported by Americans from Canada.
With 110,000 square feet of space Tempel can provide a wide range of quality transformer products from a central location, including small stamped transformer lamination components, cut-to-length laminations, distributed gapped cores, slit steel, mitered core logs, and fully assembled mitered cores.
The development of these federal grants are years in the making – they were probably started before Donald Trump was elected.
The Tempel management have some hard decisions to make in the next month.

On April 4, 2022, Ontario launched the first regulated online gambling market in Canada, iGaming Ontario. In many ways, the launch can be seen as the beginning of an online gambling revolution in the country. However, it has also been widely criticized for contributing to a growing concern in Canada: problem gambling. This has led many to wonder if iGaming Ontario is revolutionary or adding to the concerns surrounding problem gambling, a question we’ll explore here.
How iGaming Ontario Has Revolutionized Online Gambling
 iGaming Ontario has revolutionized the nation’s online gambling in many ways, from creating sports betting, slot, and casino offers for players in Canada to setting up a framework for other regulatory bodies. It was the first market of its kind, has created numerous jobs, contributed significantly to the province and country’s economy, developed a competitive market, and made great efforts to protect players.
First Regulated Open Market
As Canada’s first regulated online gambling market, iGaming Ontario and its work have been closely watched by other provinces and countries to see how the market performs. It has the potential to set a precedent for future market operations, demonstrating what to do or not to do. Knowing that it would be closely scrutinized, iGaming Ontario placed great emphasis on developing a thriving competitive market that protects its players, contributes to the economy, and has clear policies and guidelines that are strongly enforced and governed.
The quality of the regulations and systems implemented by iGaming Ontario earned it global recognition. Vixio’s Global Regulatory Awards named the organization the Regulatory Initiative of the Year. The awards recognize organizations that excel in developing and implementing gambling regulations, emphasizing responsible gambling measures and regulatory compliance.
Job Creation
In its first year, the iGaming Ontario market created and supported over 12,000 full-time jobs. It has led to new employment opportunities and continues to do so. In its second year, it created even more jobs, almost reaching 15,000, including over 2,500 directly sustained jobs and over 9,000 indirect ones. These numbers surpass the five-year revenue and impact projections of Deloitte, an independent audit and assurance company.
Provincial and Federal Revenue Stream
 In addition to surpassing job creation projections, iGaming Ontario has surpassed Deloitte’s projects for government revenues, meaning the regulated market greatly supports governments of all levels in Ontario and Canada. In its second year, iGaming Ontario generated over $1.2 billion in government revenue, including $380 million for Canada’s federal government and $790 million for Ontario’s provincial government. Even municipal governments are enjoying revenue boosts from the iGaming market.
Industry Growth
Since the launch of iGaming Ontario, over 50 gambling operators have become available to the public, creating a wide range of online options for Ontario players. The second year of operation saw $2.4 billion in gaming revenue generated, a more than 70% increase from the first year. There are more than 1.2 million active player accounts, and the average monthly spending of active player accounts has increased significantly. The average player spent $70 monthly in the first year of iGaming Ontario’s operation. In Q2 of the 2024-2025 fiscal year, the average spending per account increased to $308. These numbers demonstrate the growth and interest in Ontario’s iGaming industry.
Player Protections
By creating a regulated market, Ontario can offer players gambling options that protect them more than the previously available unregulated options. These player protections include safeguards for preventing underage gambling, providing problem gambling tools and resources, and enforcing stricter anti-money laundering regulations. iGaming Ontario provides Ontarians with a gambling environment in which they can feel more secure and confident knowing there are regulations and safeguards in place. This confidence has translated into over 86% of online players opting for these regulated options over unregulated options.
The Rise of Problem Gambling in Ontario
iGaming Ontario has become a multibillion-dollar market in the few years it has been operating, something the organization and its operators celebrate. But financial success has also led to many wondering if all of this has come at too great a cost. During the same years that iGaming Ontario generated billions, the province also saw a marked increase in indicators of problem gambling.
 Since iGaming Ontario’s opening, the Ontario Problem Gambling Helpline has seen more people reach out for support. At the end of 2024, Mental Health Research Canada released a report sharing that 11% of Ontarians struggle with problem gambling.
It’s difficult to ignore the accessibility of gambling options in Ontario as a significant factor in the rising numbers, especially since just before the opening of iGaming Ontario, the number of individuals struggling was estimated to be around 9%.
iGaming Ontario has made accessing gambling extremely easy and has also led to a massive increase in gambling ads, drawing more interest in the activity. This ease of access and growing interest increase the risk of problem gambling, which can have many negative impacts on the health and wellness of Ontarians. Problem gambling can lead to financial loss, impacting the financial health of individuals and families, and it is also connected to mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. It’s a serious problem, and despite the safeguards iGaming Ontario requires of its operators, many mental health experts, as well as those affected by problem gambling, do not feel it’s enough.
iGaming Ontario Still Has Work to Do
 iGaming Ontario has been influential in addressing online gambling. It was a sector that was a legal grey zone for many years, causing many Ontarians to turn to unregulated sites and spend an estimated $500 million gambling on them each year. The province was able to direct much of that money, and more, into the province to support the economy while also offering more stringent player protections. But even with protections in place, it’s hard to see the work of iGaming Ontario as solely a revolutionary endeavour. It’s still fraught with concerns that must be addressed to protect Ontarians from the potential ill effects of online gambling. However, with ongoing oversight and a commitment to responsible gaming, there’s hope that Ontario will set a standard for a safer and more sustainable online gambling environment.

Sports betting involves predicting the outcome of a sporting event and placing a wager on it. Whether you’re betting on your favorite team or trying to make sense of complex odds, the world of sports betting offers a variety of opportunities to earn profits. It’s important to understand the basics, types of bets, and responsible betting practices before diving in – so, shall we dive in?
 Did I make the right bet? What is Sports Betting?
Sports betting is the act of wagering money on the outcome of a sports event, such as football, basketball, horse racing, or even esports. In a sportsbook, bettors can place wagers on individual games, tournaments, or long-term outcomes like season winners. Online sportsbooks have made it easier to access sports betting with a wide range of markets and convenient features such as live betting.
The Different Sports You Can Bet On
One of the great things about sports betting is the variety of sports you can bet on. From major global sports to niche events, there is something for every sports enthusiast. Popular sports to bet on include:
-
 The thrill of the race as the horses reach the finish line is bigger when your horse wins. Football: The most common sport for betting, especially in leagues like the NFL, Premier League, and La Liga.
- Basketball: With the NBA and college basketball, this is another highly popular sport among bettors.
- Horse Racing: A longstanding favorite, with numerous races around the world.
- Tennis: From Wimbledon to the US Open, tennis provides excellent opportunities for betting.
- Baseball: MLB is a key focus for sports betting in North America.
- Esports: Competitive gaming is growing, with major events and tournaments offering betting options.
Each sport has its own unique dynamics, and understanding the rules and structure of the game can increase your chances of making a successful bet.
How to Bet on Esports
Esports betting is gaining significant traction with the rise of professional gaming tournaments. If you’re interested in betting on esports, the process is similar to betting on traditional sports. Popular esports include games like:
- League of Legends: A multiplayer online battle arena game with massive global tournaments.
- Dota 2: Another popular MOBA with highly competitive international tournaments.
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: A first-person shooter game with numerous leagues and tournaments.
- Fortnite: Known for its battle royale mode, this game has also seen a rise in esports betting.
 Make informed betting choices. To bet on esports, find a sportsbook that offers esports betting markets. You can place bets on match winners, tournament outcomes, and specific in-game events. Much like traditional sports, understanding the teams, players, and recent performances will help you make informed betting choices.
Different Types of Bets
Sports betting offers a range of betting options, allowing you to tailor your wagers to your preferred strategy. Some common types of bets include:
- Moneyline Bet: The simplest type of bet, where you pick the winner of the game or event.
- Point Spread: In this bet, you bet on a team to either cover a spread, meaning they must win by a certain number of points, or lose by fewer points than the spread allows.
- Over/Under Bet: A wager on whether the total points or goals scored in a game will be above or below a predetermined number.
- Futures Bet: A long-term bet placed on outcomes like which team will win a championship or tournament.
- Parlays: A combination of multiple bets into one wager, increasing the potential payout but also the risk.
The variety of bet types gives bettors flexibility and allows for different strategies depending on the situation.
Understanding Odds
 Understand what odds are. Understanding odds is crucial when placing bets, as they represent the probability of an outcome and determine the potential payout. There are three common types of odds formats:
- Decimal Odds: Common in Europe and Canada, decimal odds show how much a bet will return for every $1 wagered. For example, odds of 2.00 mean you’ll win $2 for every $1 you bet.
- Fractional Odds: Used mainly in the UK, fractional odds show the profit relative to the stake. For example, odds of 5/1 mean you’ll win $5 for every $1 wagered.
- American Odds: Also known as moneyline odds, American odds can be either positive or negative. Positive odds indicate how much profit you’ll make on a $100 bet, while negative odds show how much you need to bet to win $100.
The key to understanding odds is recognizing their implied probability and using that information to place informed bets.
Playing Responsibly
 While sports betting can be fun and rewarding, it’s essential to bet responsibly. Set a budget for your betting activities and avoid chasing losses. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of betting, but ensuring you stick to your limits will help you manage risk and protect your finances.
Many sportsbooks offer tools like deposit limits and self-exclusion options to help bettors play responsibly. Never bet more than you can afford to lose, and if you feel that betting is becoming a problem, seek professional help.
Conclusion
Sports betting offers thrilling opportunities for fans to engage with their favorite sports, but it requires knowledge, strategy, and responsible management. Understanding the different types of bets, the sports you can bet on, and how to interpret odds will set you up for success. Whether you’re interested in traditional sports or emerging markets like esports, betting responsibly will ensure that sports betting remains a fun and exciting activity.

Once a magnet attracting job-seekers from across Canada, Ontario’s economy continues to sputter even as premier Doug Ford proclaims himself the “jobs protector” in the province’s current election campaign.
Ontario’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate ticked up 0.1 percentage point in January, accord to Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey, hitting 7.6 per cent. Newfoundland and Labrador was the only province to have a higher unemployment rate and the only other province where the jobless rate rose in January.
The national unemployment rate fell 0.1 points to 6.6 percent, seasonally adjusted.
Except for one month in 2023, Ontario’s seasonally adjusted jobless rate has not been better than the national rate since April 2020, 58 months ago.
Employment in construction remains below levels of summer 2023 held back by a housing industry recession the took hold after unchecked speculative run-up created a market explosion in spring 2022.
To reach housing goals, Ontario has set a housing starts target at a pace of 12,500 unit starts per month, which has never met. December housing starts were only 44 per cent of target.
Despite poor construction sector jobs performance, several construction unions have endorsed Doug Ford for re-election, many of which have received significant amounts of public money.
About 40,000 jobs in retail sales have disappeared since the Christmas sales season of 2021 before an affordability crisis became to set up.
Housing asking rents and sales prices peaked in 2022, leaving less income available for retail purchasing.
Though retail sales are at new peaks in the rest of Canada, Ontario retail sales remain below levels of spring 2022.
Jobs in manufacturing are also below a recent peak as the auto industry, which anchors many other manufacturing businesses, faces new impacts from the 2018 CUSMA renegotiation and the on-going threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.
A counter-strategy funded with up to $52.5 billion in federal and provincial money aimed has leveraged $46.1 billion in private investment to refound the sector around electric vehicle production. But the effectiveness of these investments in now in doubt due to cancellation of EV purchase incentives by the new U.S. Administration.
A stark symbol of the jobs challenge made headlines as Linmar, a Guelph, Ontario-based auto parts company, listed for sale a newly-constructed EV parts plant in Welland before it had built a single part.

City Council will discuss a staff report on the Burlington Lands Partnership and look at Partnership Potential for City-Owned Lands.
There are 277 City-owned properties that are part of the initial inventory. Preliminary internal staff engagement has identified the 13 potential opportunities with partnership potential.
Land exchange opportunity to facilitate amenities and housing in Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs) – 2 potential opportunities
Redevelopment opportunity for mixed-use (public uses and amenities) in Burlington Downtown – 5 potential opportunities
Affordable housing opportunity – 6 potential opportunities
The locations were listed in a confidential report
In order to make existing city-owned sites available for partnerships, there are opportunity costs involved to define workplans to advance partnership arrangements and for the potential movement/replacement of current uses into new or other locations. In addition, if sites are to be released by the City for partnership development, these will need to be declared surplus. This report represents important initial step in mobilizing development on underutilized City-owned lands.
The assessment of city-owned sites will be integrated into the 2025 Burlington Lands Partnership (BLP) work plan and coordinated with other departments as applicable. Initial steps to continue exploring these and other opportunities will be pursued as described in this report.
Engagement: As specific land-related opportunities evolve, Council and staff will endeavor to make information on land opportunities available publicly at the appropriate time both for purposes of information and engagement and prior to final decisions where possible.
The analysis considered several high-level factors, including:
- Site location and suitability for partnerships
- Proximity to transit and vacant or developable land nearby
- Existing development interest in adjacent or nearby parcels
- Site servicing and constraints
- Proximity to parkland and public amenities
The potential opportunities outlined in this report have been verified through a desktop review exercise. The feasibility of any development or redevelopment of these sites has not been assessed yet and will be completed. Some of this work has been accommodated as part of the 2025 Budget. There may be additional resource requirements identified as some of these opportunities are pursued. These will be brought forward in future updates to Council as necessary.
Key Considerations
The City does not have any developable vacant land that has been declared surplus. There are undefined opportunity costs associated with making city owned lands available for partnerships. The cost to move/replace current uses into new or other locations must be studied. The financial implication of utilizing and/or intensifying City lands is unknown at this time. All real estate transactions will be managed by the Realty Services department in accordance with the City’s Sale of Land Policy.

Canada is home to some of the most diverse bucket-list destinations on the planet — it has some of the best ski slopes, thousands of kilometres of untouched nature, and multiple hubs of commerce and entertainment of international renown. This, coupled with its expansive tourism push in recent years, means that Canada relies on an adaptable and modern aviation industry.
Luckily for tourists and Canadians alike, the nation hosts North America’s busiest and most technologically advanced airports, perfect for handling the influx of tourism expected over the next ten years. Take a look at the top ten busiest airports in Canada.
10. Kelowna International Airport (YLW)
You can fly into Kelowna, a critical gateway to British Columbia’s Okanagan region, to explore some of Canada’s best wineries, lake regions, and the breathtaking scenery of Osoyoos. The airport serves around 2,000,000 passengers a year and offers destinations nationwide and routes all the way down to sunny Mexico.
 Billy Bishop, named after a Canadian war hero is an airport minutes from downtown Toronto 9. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ)
Toronto’s second-largest airport, situated on the Toronto Islands, is named after one of Canada’s most iconic fighter pilots. This airport caters to just over 2,000,000 passengers a year and makes a great alternative to the massive Toronto Pearson International Airport, especially if you’re looking for either domestic or short-haul flights. You can expect shorter security queues and faster processing times so that you can make every minute count of your vacation or work trip.
 If your destination as a tourist is Halifax International – you will want to visit Peggy’s Cove. 8. Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ)
Coming in at 8th place on the list is Halifax Stanfield. The airport serves the Halifax region, mainland Nova Scotia, and other areas in the Maritime provinces. As Canada’s easternmost international airport, it is a vital connection for rural communities and also provides hundreds of jobs for the region’s tourism sector. The airport generated a massive C$4.2 billion for the Nova Scotia economy in 2023 alone, and with a rise of over 20%, it’s expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
The airport is also home to numerous Fixed-Based Operators (FBOs), private companies that provide essential aviation services like fuel, parking, maintenance, and passenger amenities.
7. Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG)
Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, located in the Winnipeg Capital Region, handled just over 4 million passengers last year. YWG is crucial for connecting small communities living in difficult conditions with regularly scheduled flights to Northern Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, and Nunavut.
6. Ottawa/Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW)
As the airport serving Canada’s capital city, Ottawa International is a home base for Canadian North and a major hub for Porter Airlines, which is investing $65 million into the airport infrastructure over the coming years. The airport serves the National Capital Region with over 4 million passengers annually — a 36.9% increase on the previous year, the highest such growth among Canada’s busiest airports.
The airport’s modern terminal, extended in 2008, features artwork reflecting the region’s history and culture, creating a uniquely Canadian welcome for first-time visitors to the country.
5. Edmonton International Airport (YEG)
Climbing into the top 5 busiest airports in Canada sees a marked jump in passenger numbers, with a massive 7.4 million passengers flying in and out of Edmonton International Airport. The airport caters to residents and visitors to the Edmonton Metro Region, some three hours north of Calgary.
The airport itself is so busy due to the lack of other major cities in the region, making it the only major airport for those travelling from Alberta and Saskatchewan.
 Calgary International 4. Calgary International Airport (YYC)
Calgary International Airport, also known as “the gateway to the Rockies,” serves a whopping 18.5 million passengers a year. One reason for YYC’s huge numbers is its proximity to Banff and Canada’s impressive range of ski destinations.
YYC is home to two terminals — one domestic and one international — and serves as the main hub for Canadian airline WestJet. The airport offers world-class accessibility with modern parking systems, easy-to-use car rental services, and the reliable Calgary Transit System, which offers routes across the region.
3. Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL)
Serving the Greater Montreal area, Montréal–Trudeau International Airport is a bustling hub that managed over 21 million passengers in 2023. This large operation is the region’s primary link between Canada’s French-speaking population and the rest of the world.
YUL’s strategic location makes it perfect for transatlantic flights, with popular routes to Paris, London, and Frankfurt. This dynamic location, combined with a modern general aviation terminal, makes it an ideal airport for those looking to charter a private plane to Europe and beyond. Domestic travellers also benefit from frequent flights to Toronto, Vancouver, and Halifax.
 Vancouver International 2. Vancouver International Airport (YVR)
Vancouver International Airport, nestled on Sea Island in Richmond, British Columbia, is the busiest airport in Western Canada. Welcoming almost 25 million passengers in 2023, the airport is the ultimate gateway to the region’s surrounding mountains, lakes, and the icy North Pacific. YVR is consistently ranked as one of the best airports in North America and was most recently named as the number-one airport on the continent in 2024.
Vancouver International is also the nation’s best link to Asia, with frequent flights to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul. Its location also makes it a popular stopover for flights to Australia and New Zealand.
1. Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
With almost double the capacity of number two on the list, Toronto has been Canada’s busiest airport for decades. It’s the primary hub for Air Canada and the second busiest arrivals hub for international travellers to North America. Serving the Greater Toronto Area, Pearson handled an impressive 44.8 million passengers in 2023, making it the pride of Canada’s already-impressive aviation industry.
 Pearson International Located just outside Toronto in Mississauga, Pearson offers direct flights to destinations on every continent. With its cutting-edge amenities, including world-class dining and shopping, Toronto Pearson sets the standard for Canadian airports when it comes to sheer size and availability.
Canada, Connected
With some of the most forward-thinking, accessible, and downright massive airports in North America, Canada continues to impress year-on-year with its dazzling array of airports. Vancouver continues to offer the best service in North America, Toronto Pearson connects you to the world with ease, and Calgary, Halifax, and Winnipeg airports continue to provide a vital lifeline to some of the continent’

 2017 fire that destroyed most of the buildings The Paletta International site just off Appleby Line that was destroyed by fire in December 6th, 2017 is beginning to be re-animated.
The company has conditional site plan approval. The company is currently working through the various conditions one of which is obtaining Committee of Adjustment approval.
When completed the site and bring new employment and economic opportunity to the city.
Building designs are still a work in progress however there is a site plan.
Along with plans to eventually construct a new Alinea headquarters building, there will be approximately 300,000 square feet of new leasable light industrial / employment space in three new buildings.2017
Everything on the 18.5-acre property will be demolished and replaced with modern employment and office buildings. Given the uncertainty of timing to this point, no tenants for the light industrial / employment space have been sought yet; that will come in due course. “We are already getting calls from companies expressing interest in being part of this exciting redevelopment,” said a company spokesperson.
The 2018 fire meant there were going to be many changes in what the company would do and the business they were going to be in.
The death of Pasquale “Pat” Paletta, in 2019 brought about changes in the leadership and management style.
 The late Pat Paletta with his four sons. One huge change for the company was the creation of Alinea which didn’t include all four of Pat Paletta’s sons. Angelo Paletta went in his own direction while the other three brothers formed Alinea that is now focused on plans for the Bronte Meadows site and the 1200 King Road property
“While there may be a few minor tweaks to this plan in relation to the future Alinea headquarters building, there is a general sense of what’s being planned.
Property that was acquired by the Paletta family in Burlington was first used to pasture cattle; the company grew to become the largest beef processing operation in Eastern Canada; it was later sold to Canada Packers.
 The structure shown in orange will be the head office for Alinea. The other three structures will be developed when market conditions are right. The company added poultry processing (Tender Choices) to its operations.
 Both business lines were eventually sold and the focus was shifted to property development.
Alinea is working out of what is left after the fire. “All existing buildings on the property will be demolished once Demolition Permits are obtained later this year. Specific demolition and construction timelines have yet to be determined, but we do know that for practical purposes development will need to be phased over several years.
Exciting days for the company

John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport Announces a new strategic airline partner, Porter Airlines.
Porter will initiate service at Hamilton International beginning in early June 2025, introducing daily service from Hamilton to four popular domestic destinations: Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, and Vancouver.
The airport will move now on planned terminal upgrades that will begin immediately.
 The long-term collaborative partnership between the City and TradePort, in place since 1996, has positioned the airport as a critical driver of connectivity, economic growth, job creation, and community partnerships for Hamilton and the surrounding region. Under the new lease, efforts to expand air service, enhance the passenger experience, and deliver safe, sustainable, and efficient operations will continue – starting with planned terminal upgrades that will begin immediately.
Airport enhancements will include an updated exterior frontage with new and expanded canopies to improve curb operations, and a refresh of terminal interiors from check-in counters and passenger screening areas to gate seating and baggage claim. Integration of architectural elements and finishes inspired by the region’s natural geography will lend the airport a unique sense of place, while new digital signage and lighting upgrades will enhance the overall travel journey.
Additionally, future enhancements will include passenger jet bridges to connect the terminal directly to aircraft – a first for Hamilton International – and terminal infrastructure upgrades to position the airport for future expansion to accommodate expected air traffic growth

 Residents who face significant rent increases want controls.  Politicians appear to be exploiting a difficult problem tjhat doesn’t have an easy answer The conversation around rent control in Ontario is a loaded one. While tenants certainly benefit, some say that the protection disincentivizes rental construction and makes operating costs for some landlords unfeasible.

Canada’s Evolving Economic Landscape
 Canada boasts a diverse and robust economy, driven by a mix of natural resources, technology, and services. While traditional sectors like oil, manufacturing, and agriculture remain significant, industries such as entertainment and digital technology are increasingly shaping economic growth. Among these emerging players, the gambling industry stands out for its unique contribution to the country’s fiscal health.
The rise of regulated gambling in Canada has opened doors for substantial revenue generation, job creation, and technological advancements. It’s within this dynamic sector that Ed Roberts, a seasoned expert in the gambling industry, offers valuable insights into its economic impact and future potential.
The Gambling Industry: A Key Economic Player
The gambling industry in Canada is not just about entertainment; it is a strategic contributor to the national economy. Online casinos, sports betting platforms, and brick-and-mortar establishments collectively generate billions in revenue annually. This revenue benefits provincial governments through taxation and licensing fees, which are often reinvested into public services such as healthcare and education.
As outlined in ProvenExpert, Roberts highlights that innovation—from cutting-edge technologies to the expansion of online platforms—has been key to maintaining growth in a competitive global market.
The shift toward online gambling, accelerated by advancements in digital technology, has created new opportunities for players and operators alike. For those seeking reliable gambling tips, this shift also highlights the importance of understanding the landscape before participating. Provinces such as Ontario have capitalized on these trends by introducing regulated online markets, fostering both economic activity and consumer protection. Additionally, the expansion of mobile gaming and live dealer experiences has further increased consumer engagement, proving that the industry is not only resilient but also forward-thinking.
Employment and Regional Benefits
The gambling industry’s contributions are not limited to revenue generation. Across Canada, it supports thousands of jobs, both directly and indirectly. From technology development to customer service roles, the sector’s workforce is diverse and dynamic. Provinces with established gambling hubs, such as British Columbia and Quebec, have particularly benefited from this economic activity.
Beyond direct employment, the industry’s investments in infrastructure and partnerships with local businesses amplify its regional economic impact. For example, casino resorts often drive tourism and hospitality industries, creating a ripple effect that benefits surrounding communities.
Insights from Ed Roberts: Innovation and Challenges
Ed Roberts’ expertise extends beyond highlighting industry successes. His insights also shed light on challenges the sector faces, such as regulatory complexities and the need for responsible gambling practices.
In his LinkedIn profile, Roberts emphasizes the importance of collaboration between industry stakeholders and regulatory bodies to ensure sustainable growth. He also advocates for leveraging technology to enhance transparency and player experience.
Global Competition and Canada’s Position
 Canada’s gambling industry does not operate in isolation. It faces stiff competition from global markets, particularly in Europe and Asia, where innovation is often rapid. To maintain its competitive edge, Canada must continue to embrace advancements in technology and diversify its offerings.
Ed Roberts’ blog highlights the importance of staying ahead of global trends, including the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). These technologies offer immersive experiences that could redefine how players interact with platforms. By adopting such innovations, Canadian operators can attract a broader audience while maintaining high standards of player engagement.
Conclusion: A Broader Perspective
Canada’s economy is a complex tapestry of traditional industries and emerging sectors. Within this landscape, the gambling industry has carved out a significant niche, contributing to national revenue and employment while embracing innovation to meet modern demands.
 The gambling industry’s future success depends on its ability to adapt to global trends and challenges. By fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and responsibility, Canada can maintain its position as a leader in this sector. The integration of advanced technologies and commitment to ethical practices will ensure that the industry continues to thrive, benefiting not only its participants but also the broader Canadian economy.
As Canada navigates the complexities of a rapidly changing economic environment, the gambling sector serves as a testament to the power of innovation and strategic growth. Its continued evolution will be crucial in shaping the nation’s economic future and reinforcing its position on the global stage.

Nathaniel Erskine-Smith isn’t running for the Liberal leadership. He has a different job to do, and not much time to make a difference.
Erskine-Smith represents Beaches-East York, the community I published the community newspaper in more than 40 years ago. The paper is still published weekly – never more than 40 pages – because that is about as much as the carriers can handle as they deliver the paper door to door – free.
 Erskine-Smith had said that he was not going to seek re-election – it was clear to him that he wasn’t one of the Justin Trudeau favourites – he frequently voted against the party. Then in one of the Prime Minister’s Cabinet shuffles Erskine-Smith was invited into Cabinet. He took the job seriously and in the following interview (which I didn’t do) he sets out what the issues are and what he is in the process of doing.
In an interview with Erskine-Smith earlier this week, which I did do he did mention that he thinks there is a project he could work through with Burlington – no details at this point.

BURLINGTON, ON
Canada is home to some of the most diverse bucket-list destinations on the planet — it has some of the best ski slopes, thousands of kilometres of untouched nature, and multiple hubs of commerce and entertainment of international renown. This, coupled with its expansive tourism push in recent years, means that Canada relies on an adaptable and modern aviation industry.
Luckily for tourists and Canadians alike, the nation hosts North America’s busiest and most technologically advanced airports, perfect for handling the influx of tourism expected over the next ten years. Take a look at the top ten busiest airports in Canada.
10. Kelowna International Airport (YLW)
 Kelowna Airport – gets people into the heart of British Columbia wine regions. You can fly into Kelowna, a critical gateway to British Columbia’s Okanagan region, to explore some of Canada’s best wineries, lake regions, and the breathtaking scenery of Osoyoos. The airport serves around 2,000,000 passengers a year and offers destinations nationwide and routes all the way down to sunny Mexico.
9. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ)
 The Billy Bishop Airport is minutes from Toronto’s downtown core. Toronto’s second-largest airport, situated on the Toronto Islands, is named after one of Canada’s most iconic fighter pilots. This airport caters to just over 2,000,000 passengers a year and makes a great alternative to the massive Toronto Pearson International Airport, especially if you’re looking for either domestic or short-haul flights. You can expect shorter security queues and faster processing times so that you can make every minute count of your vacation or work trip.
8. Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ)
Coming in at 8th place on the list is Halifax Stanfield. The airport serves the Halifax region, mainland Nova Scotia, and other areas in the Maritime provinces. As Canada’s easternmost international airport, it is a vital connection for rural communities and also provides hundreds of jobs for the region’s tourism sector. The airport generated a massive C$4.2 billion for the Nova Scotia economy in 2023 alone, and with a rise of over 20%, it’s expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
The airport is also home to numerous Fixed-Based Operators (FBOs), private companies that provide essential aviation services like fuel, parking, maintenance, and passenger amenities.
7. Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG)
Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, located in the Winnipeg Capital Region, handled just over 4 million passengers last year. YWG is crucial for connecting small communities living in difficult conditions with regularly scheduled flights to Northern Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, and Nunavut.
6. Ottawa/Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW)
As the airport serving Canada’s capital city, Ottawa International is a home base for Canadian North and a major hub for Porter Airlines, which is investing $65 million into the airport infrastructure over the coming years. The airport serves the National Capital Region with over 4 million passengers annually — a 36.9% increase on the previous year, the highest such growth among Canada’s busiest airports.
The airport’s modern terminal, extended in 2008, features artwork reflecting the region’s history and culture, creating a uniquely Canadian welcome for first-time visitors to the country.
5. Edmonton International Airport (YEG)
Climbing into the top 5 busiest airports in Canada sees a marked jump in passenger numbers, with a massive 7.4 million passengers flying in and out of Edmonton International Airport. The airport caters to residents and visitors to the Edmonton Metro Region, some three hours north of Calgary.
The airport itself is so busy due to the lack of other major cities in the region, making it the only major airport for those travelling from Alberta and Saskatchewan.
4. Calgary International Airport (YYC)
Calgary International Airport, also known as “the gateway to the Rockies,” serves a whopping 18.5 million passengers a year. One reason for YYC’s huge numbers is its proximity to Banff and Canada’s impressive range of ski destinations.
YYC is home to two terminals — one domestic and one international — and serves as the main hub for Canadian airline WestJet. The airport offers world-class accessibility with modern parking systems, easy-to-use car rental services, and the reliable Calgary Transit System, which offers routes across the region.
3. Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL)
Serving the Greater Montreal area, Montréal–Trudeau International Airport is a bustling hub that managed over 21 million passengers in 2023. This large operation is the region’s primary link between Canada’s French-speaking population and the rest of the world.
YUL’s strategic location makes it perfect for transatlantic flights, with popular routes to Paris, London, and Frankfurt. This dynamic location, combined with a modern general aviation terminal, makes it an ideal airport for those looking to charter a private plane to Europe and beyond. Domestic travellers also benefit from frequent flights to Toronto, Vancouver, and Halifax.
2. Vancouver International Airport (YVR)
 Some people choose to dine at the airport before their departure. Vancouver has a superb restaurant that uses an Indigenous theme at its entrance. Vancouver International Airport, nestled on Sea Island in Richmond, British Columbia, is the busiest airport in Western Canada. Welcoming almost 25 million passengers in 2023, the airport is the ultimate gateway to the region’s surrounding mountains, lakes, and the icy North Pacific. YVR is consistently ranked as one of the best airports in North America and was most recently named as the number-one airport on the continent in 2024.
Vancouver International is also the nation’s best link to Asia, with frequent flights to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul. Its location also makes it a popular stopover for flights to Australia and New Zealand.
1. Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
 Toronto’s Pearson Airport With almost double the capacity of number two on the list, Toronto has been Canada’s busiest airport for decades. It’s the primary hub for Air Canada and the second busiest arrivals hub for international travellers to North America. Serving the Greater Toronto Area, Pearson handled an impressive 44.8 million passengers in 2023, making it the pride of Canada’s already-impressive aviation industry.
Located just outside Toronto in Mississauga, Pearson offers direct flights to destinations on every continent. With its cutting-edge amenities, including world-class dining and shopping, Toronto Pearson sets the standard for Canadian airports when it comes to sheer size and availability.
