The 2025 Budget book is out.
The first thing you notice is that isn’t that much smaller than the 2024 Budget – we already feel for Councillor Angelo Bentivegna who struggles with Budget books.
The public was promised a smaller Budget book – 614 pages this year; 780 last year.
The Mayor made an appearance in every ward to talk about the budget – the problem was that these events took place before the budget was released – the public had nothing to use as a reference.
The word “impact” gets used often – problem – -there isn’t a definition for a “budget impact”. No idea what it means – the impact is different for every tax payer. Some would prefer that there be no impact but that isn’t going to happen.
 Eric Stern. Part of the BRAG community group with a copy of the 2025 Budget Book – pointing out that it is a “proposed” budget. BRAG wants to see lower taxes and less spending. BRAG – the Burlington Residents’ Action Group has a team of people who will be going through the 615 pages and commenting in depth on various spending areas.
The document goes to Council on November 4th
The schedule that gets to the point where the tax rate will be known is set out below.

 Not exactly a strong political statement about the current economy. Ontario had 13,400 fewer manufacturing jobs in September 2024 than June 2018, when Doug Ford’s Ontario PCs took power with a “guarantee” to bring back the 300,000 manufacturing jobs lost during the Liberal era.
From providing 14.7 per cent of all jobs in August 2004, Ontario’s manufacturing sector employed only 8.7 per cent of jobs in September 2024.
The number of manufacturing jobs has fallen from 1.818 million in June 2018 to 1.805 million in September 2024 despite 1.6 million more employed Ontario workers.
“You shouldn’t have to wait weeks to see a doctor. You shouldn’t have to be stuck in traffic for hours every single night,” Ford told Ontarians in 2018. “This province has lost over 300,000 manufacturing jobs, and we will get them back. I guarantee you.”
 A couple of boys – pleased as punch with the budget they have produced – Data Shows that the economy has the province on the wrong side of the equalization payments Ottawa males to the provinces. Ontario has recently resorted to offering massive corporate subsidies to attract manufacturing jobs. The federal and provincial governments have together provided over $52 billion in public subsidies, over $20 billion from Ontario, to bring $46 billion in private investment to Ontario to develop an electric vehicle supply chain, according to a June 2024 report from the Parliamentary Budget Office.
Economic malaise turns Ontario into a have-not province
From 1975 to 2005, only on the most rare occasion did Ontario have an unemployment rate higher than the national average. But as Ontario’s manufacturing collapsed the province’s unemployment ran higher than the national average from 2005 to 2015.
After a brief return to lower than national rates from 2015 to 2020, emerging from the COVID recession Ontario’s unemployment rate has been higher than the national rate for 48 of the past 53 months, according to Statistics Canada.
In addition to his “guarantee” to create 300,000 manufacturing jobs, other big promises by Doug Ford to spur Ontario’s economy have not panned out.
A promise to create jobs through building 12,500 new housing units per month has fallen flat. Only 206,000 new housing units have been started since June 2018, 144,000 less than the 350,000 promised 28 months ago, CMHC data shows.
A promise to develop the ring of fire hasn’t put any shovels into the ground, instead stalling in court as First Nations, under whose traditional territories the minerals lie, allege the Ford government has failed to consult.
A pledge to stop skyrocketing electricity prices that drive away jobs has only been kept by pumping over $6 billion of public subsidies each year into Ontario’s power system.
Ontario’s ongoing economic malaise has changed the province from contributor to confederation to a have-not province that will receive $576 million in equalization payments in 2024-25.

The Rise Of Female Leaders In Casinos
In recent years, women have increasingly taken on leadership roles within the casino industry, bringing fresh perspectives and creative strategies.

By prioritizing sustainability and responsible gaming practices, women are paving the way for a more ethical and socially conscious industry.
Empowering Future Generations
As more women ascend to influential positions within the casino industry, they serve as role models for young women aspiring to enter this field.

Do people know about Canada’s place in the global refugee crisis? Canada has had a mixed record in welcoming refugees
Through images, soundscapes, first person accounts and artifacts, this powerful exhibition begins “no one wants to be a refugee, anyone could become a refugee.” Moving through major waves of arrival from the Second World War era up to the present day, Refuge Canada does not shy away from opportunities to portray the darker chapters of history. Hopeful stories of optimism and success are balanced by moving accounts of shattered lives, fear, and examples of Canada’s mixed record in welcoming refugees.
 The exhibition will draw visitors through its five themes: Life Before, Fear, Displacement, Refuge and Life in Canada, with hands-on opportunities to connect with the content. Crawl inside a UNHCR tent, or find room in an inflatable boat similar to those used by refugees fleeing from Turkey to Greece. Look out a plane window as the shores of Canada approach and listen to refugees tell their stories throughout the exhibit. Refuge Canada will challenge and inspire as it brings visitors on a journey from darkness to hope, always calling into question preconceptions about what it means to be a refugee.
“Canada has had a mixed record in welcoming refugees, reacting generously to some while overlooking others. Refuge Canada provides the context for Canada’s place in the global refugee crisis and brings to light the challenges faced by refugees in Canada. The exhibition also shares stories of success and contributions made by people who came to Canada as refugees. ” – Dan Conlin, Curator, Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21
As Canadians become increasingly aware of the current global refugee crisis, Refuge Canada is an opportunity to gain historical context. Refuge Canada was produced by the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.
Joseph Brant Museum is open Tuesday – Saturday, 10am to 4pm. To learn more, visit museumsofburlington.ca/exhibition/refuge-canada. Thank you to our special exhibition sponsors: TD Bank and the Burlington Museums Foundation.

Based on the internationally recognized true story. “A heartwarming tale of triumph over adversity” – Chris Knight, National Post
Tickets are $15/adult, $12/children (12 and under) and include admission to the galleries. Peace by Chocolate merchandise will be available in the Gift Shop for purchase. Doors open at 6pm to view the special exhibition “Refuge Canada”.

Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is opening new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) clinics this fall for all eligible babies. The clinics will be held at McMaster Children’s Hospital (MCH) and West Lincoln Memorial Hospital (WLMH).
 Earlier in October, MCH began administering nirsevimab (brand name Beyfortus®) to high risk babies. These were some of the first babies in Ontario to receive Beyfortus, which is a long acting monoclonal antibody that provides passive immunity against RSV, protecting babies from severe illness. Pictured is Jack with his mom, receiving his injection from Fiona Guy, Registered Nurse & RSV Clinic Coordinator at MCH – https://hhsc.box.com/s/fgytnj18ru4euvcouqn0xo7hqvtoyoxq.
As of Monday November 4, Beyfortus will be available for all eligible babies at MCH and WLMH:
- Babies born during this year’s RSV season (October to March) can receive Beyfortus® soon after birth, before going home from the hospital.
- Babies born within this calendar year (2024) can receive Beyfortus® in one of the clinics located at MCH or WLMH.
- Infants older than one year who have certain high-risk medical conditions may also be eligible to receive Beyfortus® in the clinic located at MCH.
Families/caregivers of babies who are eligible can contact the McMaster Children’s Hospital clinic at 905-521-2345 and the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital clinic at 905-945-2253, ext. 11401 and leave a message to schedule an appointment. A member of clinic staff will return your call to book the appointment.
RSV is a common virus that can cause serious lung infections, especially in infants and young children. While most kids have mild symptoms, some can get very sick with conditions like bronchiolitis or pneumonia. These serious infections can make it hard to breathe and may result in the need for hospital admission.
 “RSV is the most important cause of respiratory disease in newborns and infants and is directly responsible for how busy children’s hospitals and wards get in the winter. This is an unbelievable opportunity for all eligible children to get access to medicine that can very effectively prevent RSV,” says Dr. Jeffrey Pernica, infectious disease specialist at MCH.
For more information on RSV and the clinics, please visit https://www.hamiltonhealthsciences.ca/mcmaster-childrens-hospital/areas-of-care/medicine/rsv-clinic/.

The brazen carjacking at the No Frills mall, in broad daylight, recently had a number of people asking – where were the police?
The police are in their cruisers roaming the city and paying attention to the known hot spots.
 Cruiser with police officer plugged into the control Centre that handles the movement of all the police cruisers in the Region. Late in the afternoon today we spotted a cruiser parked across the street from the Performing Arts Centre with an officer inside wearing an ear plug.
He was there for quite a while then left suddenly, accelerating as he moved into Brant Street.
Keeping a cruiser on standby in the downtown core is good police work.
Those who have suggested Burlington become a “carry” city meaning that people could carry a weapon when they were walking the streets.
Canada has good gun controls laws. If you want to “carry” – move to Florida.

With his campaign team in place Oliver Parker is working towards his target of knocking on every door in the Burlington constituency. He has covered more than 200 when we talked to him last.
More about Oliver, who is a full-time federal civil servant working out of his home in Burlington and reporting to a team that is located in Hamilton – he reports to that team three times a week.
The federal Department he works for is located Gatineau, across from Ottawa.
He is a part-time student at Queen’s University in Belfast.
He is what might be described as a Labour Economist who deals with policy matters.
 Oliver Parker – seeking the Burlington Liberal nomination. Oliver reports that he has been fully vetted by the provincial Liberal Party, which means he has paid the $3000 fee to enter the race for the Burlington nomination.
At this point, there are two candidates seeking the nomination.
The current MPP for Burlington, Natalie Pierre, has announced that she will not seek re-election. The Progressive Conservatives then are looking for a candidate.
The public wants to know what a potential candidate stands for – what are their core values?
Oliver Parker is holding an event at the Black Bull on November 4th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm – if you want to meet him, hear what he has to say and ask questions – the Black Bull is at 2475 Mountainside Dr.

Here is what Burlington MP Karina Gould had to say in the House of Commons yesterday.
October 22nd, 2:55 p.m.
Innovation, Science and Industry
 Burlington MP Karina Gould speaking in the House of Commons Mr. Speaker, Canadians expect police to follow due process. Let me be perfectly clear: The government obviously complies with anything that follows due process. Canadians also expect their leaders to act in the best interest of Canadians, not to protect their own partisan interests.
Why is that member, and all members of the Conservative Party, covering up for the Leader of the Opposition, who is refusing to get his security clearance? It is easy to get. All the other members have done it. When will the Leader of the Opposition get it?
Mr. Speaker, the member gets up every day and says things that are simply not true. What he will not answer is why his leader is refusing to get a security clearance. That is the real question on every Canadian’s mind right now.
While we are facing a time when we have to put the country first and stand up for Canadians, the Leader of the Opposition is hiding something from Canadians. What is it, and why is it stopping him from getting his security clearance?
October 22nd, 3 p.m.
Mr. Speaker, once again, it is disappointing that the Conservatives are not telling the truth on this issue.
What is even more appalling and what Canadians are wondering is why the Leader of the Opposition is not getting his security clearance. Is it because he has something to hide? Why is he refusing to get his security clearance? He must have something to hide, because it is so easy to get it.
Mr. Speaker, I expect my hon. colleague on the other side to at least be honest with the facts. What was said was that this motion was highly unusual and it should be referred to committee for study. We support that. It is only the Conservatives who are obstructing their own obstruction. This is unsurprising because they are also trying to cover up their own leader’s refusal to get his security clearance.
All of the other leaders of the political parties in the House have done that. Canadians want to know why. What is he hiding, and what is he trying to protect?
Gould never did get an answer – but it wasn’t because she didn’t try.

Microneedling has become increasingly popular in recent years and is a non-invasive procedure that uses a micro-needle to address minor skin concerns such as skin laxity, wrinkles, fine lines, scarring, acne breakouts, stretch marks, and dull skin tone. Microneedling makes tiny punctures or microtraumas in the skin that trigger the skin’s natural regeneration mechanisms and the production of collagen and elastin.
 Microneedling: A procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the skin and its rejuvenation. Through the microchannels formed from this procedure, various nutritious active substances found in cosmetology preparations, which are applied to the skin before the procedure, are delivered to the dermis. This procedure is aimed at improving the appearance of the skin and its rejuvenation. Although this procedure is popular, people have some concerns. A fairly common question that arises among a wide range of potential patients is whether microneedling is painful. If you’re looking for the best microneedling in Vancouver, be sure to check out the top-rated clinics that offer advanced techniques and expert care. This article will detail the pain factor associated with microneedling, and what you can expect during treatment and aftercare to achieve the best possible results.
Understanding the micro-needling procedure and its key benefits
Microneedling, as mentioned above, involves the use of a device with thin needles that create microtrauma on the surface of the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural repair response, prompting the production of collagen and elastin, two valuable proteins that help maintain skin elasticity and firmness. This procedure offers numerous and undeniable advantages, including:
 By actively promoting collagen production, microneedles can make the skin smoother;- Microneedling allows you to reduce scars, acne, and other types of scars on your skin;
- Comprehensive treatment can help reduce the appearance of aging;
- Improved absorption of skin care products. Microneedling creates microchannels that can increase the effectiveness of spa treatments.
Microneedling is actively used on the scalp to improve hair quality and accelerate growth. It should be noted that the speed of hair growth, as well as its general condition, directly depends on the health of the scalp. For the hair to grow thicker, shed less, and be more active, you need to regularly massage the scalp. At the same time, microneedling of hair helps to accelerate the blood circulation of the scalp. Due to the active regenerative capacity of the skin after the microneedling procedure, this procedure is also used to remove scars and scars.
Is microneedling painful?
One of the most pressing concerns for those considering microneedling is the possibility of various pain sensations during this procedure. Tolerance to pain sensations is different, this feeling is individual for each person, but it is worth noting that most patients report that the discomfort during this procedure is acceptable, it can be completely overcome. The sensations that occur during microneedling can be compared to light scratches or the sensation of rubbing the skin with sandpaper.
What factors influence the pain sensation during the microneedling procedure?
Let’s consider several key factors that can affect pain during treatment:
- Deeper penetration may lead to increased discomfort. Different skin conditions may require different depths;
- Various sensitive areas, such as around the eyes or mouth, may feel more painful during micro-needling compared to other areas of the skin;
- Each person’s pain tolerance is different, meaning some people may experience more discomfort than others.
What to expect during a microneedling session?
 Skin tightening There are several important steps you should take before your microneedling session. First of all, you should have a comprehensive consultation with your doctor. He will assess your skin type, discuss your current goals with you, and determine if microneedling is the right treatment for you. For a few days before the procedure, it is advisable to avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and other active ingredients that can irritate the skin. Before the procedure, make sure your skin is well hydrated to improve results and minimize discomfort.
What happens after the microneedling procedure?
After treatment, you may notice some immediate effects, including redness, which will last from a few hours to a few days. Some swelling may occur, especially if a deeper injection is performed. Your skin may be sensitive to touch for a short period. To ensure proper healing and optimal results, it is important to follow specific care instructions, including avoiding sun exposure for at least a week after the procedure, avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours after the procedure to allow the skin to breathe and heal, not using any aggressive scrubs or exfoliants for several days. The skin should be kept hydrated with a good moisturizer. Look for fragrance-free products. Avoid saunas, hot baths, and vigorous exercise after microneedling, as they can increase redness and cause unnecessary irritation.
Potential side effects and risks that may occur after microneedling
The microneedling procedure is considered safe, but there are some potential side effects and risks to be aware of. Some patients may experience bruising, especially if the needles penetrate deep. There is a risk of infection. It is important to follow the care instructions to minimize this risk. In people with a darker skin tone, there is a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Summarizing all of the above
 Microneedling can be compared to light scratches or the sensation of rubbing the skin with sandpaper. Microneedling is an effective antiaging procedure that helps fight many skin imperfections. This procedure can be used on the face, body, and scalp. During the procedure, the skin is treated with a special tool that leaves numerous small punctures in the upper layer of the epidermis.
Controlled microdamage of the skin stimulates the natural process of tissue regeneration, which leads to the active production of collagen and elastin in the cells. These substances are responsible for the youth and beauty of our skin, making it elastic and elastic. Over time, the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, and wrinkles appear on the surface of the skin.
In addition to improving the production of collagen and elastin, the microneedling procedure also improves the absorption of nutrients by the skin, which is why various microneedling cocktails are actively used during the procedure. Using this allows you to significantly improve the effect of the procedure and solve certain skin problems, for example: reducing pigmentation or eliminating post-acne. Topaz Facial Studio is renowned for its personalized skincare treatments and innovative approaches to facial rejuvenation.
By carefully following all pre-treatment and post-treatment care instructions, you can maximize the key benefits of microneedling and enjoy rejuvenated, healthier skin. As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified practitioner to ensure that microneedling is right for you, and to discuss any concerns about pain or side effects in detail beforehand. With proper care, this treatment will result in a lasting improvement in the appearance and texture of your skin.

Ontario is embarking on an ambitious plan to modernize Niagara Falls, transforming the region into a world-class tourist destination that goes beyond its iconic waterfalls. Under Premier Doug Ford’s leadership, the strategy aims to diversify attractions, foster economic growth, and enhance hospitality services.
 That rainbow is always on display The plan includes new developments, entertainment venues, family-friendly attractions, and an overhaul of Ontario’s gaming sector. This vision intends to reshape the experience for both local and international visitors, ensuring Niagara Falls remains a competitive and modern destination.
Diversifying Attractions in Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls has long been known for its breathtaking waterfalls, but Ontario’s government is determined to expand its appeal by introducing new attractions. The focus is on transforming the area into a year-round destination that offers more than natural beauty. These new attractions will include cultural centers, immersive experiences, and cutting-edge entertainment venues, ensuring that visitors from all over the world have a diverse array of activities to enjoy.
One key element of the plan is creating more family-friendly attractions that will appeal to visitors of all ages. This includes building theme parks, interactive museums, and recreational centers that can cater to families looking for a fun and educational experience. Premier Doug Ford sees this as an opportunity to make Niagara Falls more inclusive, ensuring that it becomes a destination for families year-round, even beyond the peak tourist seasons.
Premier Doug Ford’s Leadership in Modernizing Niagara Falls
 A tunnel at the base of the falls – you get to it by taking an elevator from the top of the falls right to the water’s edge. Premier Doug Ford is playing a critical role in pushing forward the modernization efforts for Niagara Falls. His administration is dedicated to driving economic growth in Ontario by turning Niagara Falls into a top-tier tourist destination that attracts international visitors while providing sustainable local benefits.
Ford’s leadership involves making strategic investments in infrastructure, technology, and partnerships that align with the broader vision for the province’s economic development.
Doug Ford’s modernization plan includes significant investments in infrastructure, ranging from transportation to new public spaces. This includes improving roads, rail systems, and public transport connections to make Niagara Falls more accessible for tourists. Furthermore, the expansion of public parks, waterfront areas, and eco-friendly initiatives are all part of Ford’s effort to make the city more appealing and sustainable.
Economic Growth Through Tourism Development
The heart of Ontario’s plan is the potential for economic growth through tourism. Niagara Falls is already a major contributor to the province’s economy, but the government aims to maximize this potential through diversification and modernization. By introducing new entertainment venues and commercial developments, the region will attract higher spending from tourists, directly benefiting local businesses and boosting job creation.
With the expansion of tourism, entertainment venues, and hospitality services, thousands of new jobs are expected to be created in Niagara Falls. These jobs will span across multiple sectors, including construction, event management, hospitality, and retail. The government’s investment is geared toward building a workforce that can support the growing tourism industry while ensuring that locals benefit from the increased economic activity.
Integrating Physical and Online Entertainment Experiences
Ontario is also focusing on integrating physical and online entertainment experiences as part of Niagara Falls’ modernization. The province is exploring the potential of combining traditional physical entertainment, such as concerts and events, with virtual and online platforms. This strategy is expected to cater to a broader range of visitors, including tech-savvy travelers and younger audiences who seek interactive experiences.
One major part of this integration is the province’s renegotiation of gaming agreements to foster competition in the entertainment space. By blending physical and online gaming options, Ontario aims to create unique experiences that draw visitors both in-person and online. Casinos and entertainment venues in the area are expected to adopt digital innovations to enhance customer experiences, keeping Niagara Falls at the forefront of modern entertainment trends.
Renegotiating Gaming Agreements to Enhance Competition
Ontario’s modernization strategy includes renegotiating the province’s gaming agreements to increase competition in the sector. This effort is designed to ensure that Niagara Falls remains a top gaming destination in Canada by introducing new operators and encouraging innovation. The revised agreements will allow for more competitive offerings in both physical and online gaming, further integrating the city into the global entertainment market.
Additionally, some of the best-paying online casino platforms in Ontario have expressed interest in sponsoring events and festivals that can attract international visitors. These sponsorships are expected to provide a major boost to the local economy, funding high-profile events that will draw even more tourists to the region.
Building New Entertainment Venues and Event Spaces
 Loads of things to do while at Niagara Falls To complement the modernization of Niagara Falls, Ontario plans to develop state-of-the-art entertainment venues and event spaces. These venues will cater to a wide variety of events, from concerts and theater performances to international conferences and festivals. The goal is to create a vibrant cultural scene in Niagara Falls that will attract visitors from all over the world, beyond the traditional waterfall tourism.
The introduction of large-scale festivals and international events is another pillar of Ontario’s strategy to transform Niagara Falls. The government is working to secure partnerships with global event organizers, bringing world-class festivals, concerts, and exhibitions to the area. These events will not only drive tourism but also position Niagara Falls as a cultural hub that offers rich and diverse experiences year-round.
Expanding Hospitality Services and Accommodations
In tandem with the development of entertainment venues, Ontario’s plan also includes the expansion of hospitality services and accommodations. The goal is to increase the capacity of hotels and resorts to handle the growing number of tourists expected to visit the region. This involves constructing new hotels and upgrading existing properties to meet the demands of luxury travelers, business visitors, and family vacationers alike.
Part of this expansion includes the development of luxury hotels and boutique accommodations that cater to high-end tourists. These hotels will offer premium services, including fine dining, spa experiences, and exclusive access to local attractions. This addition is expected to significantly enhance Niagara Falls’ reputation as a world-class destination for travelers looking for upscale experiences.
Enhancing Accessibility and Sustainability
Ontario’s modernization plan emphasizes both accessibility and sustainability in all new developments. The province is committed to ensuring that Niagara Falls is accessible to everyone, including those with mobility challenges. Furthermore, the government is prioritizing eco-friendly initiatives that aim to protect the region’s natural beauty while supporting sustainable growth.
The development of eco-friendly transportation options is a key component of making Niagara Falls more sustainable. Ontario is investing in electric buses, bike-sharing programs, and pedestrian-friendly pathways to reduce the carbon footprint of tourists visiting the area. These green initiatives are designed to preserve the environment while offering convenient ways for visitors to explore the city.
Long-Term Vision for Niagara Falls
 There is something magnetic about Niagara Falls – people gather to take in the magnificence of the water and enjoy the many entertaining things to do. Ontario’s long-term vision for Niagara Falls is rooted in the idea of creating a global tourist destination that offers something for everyone. From eco-tourism and family-friendly attractions to high-end luxury experiences and cutting-edge entertainment, the plan is to diversify the appeal of Niagara Falls for both domestic and international tourists.
The overarching goal is to position Niagara Falls as one of the leading tourist destinations in the world. By expanding its offerings and modernizing the city’s infrastructure, Ontario aims to compete with other global tourist hotspots like Las Vegas, Paris, and Dubai. Niagara Falls’ unique combination of natural beauty, modern entertainment, and diverse attractions will serve as the foundation for its future success.
Ontario’s Path Forward for Niagara Falls
Ontario’s ambitious plan to modernize Niagara Falls marks a new era for the region, blending tradition with innovation to create a truly global tourist destination. Premier Doug Ford’s leadership, strategic investments in infrastructure, and focus on diversifying attractions all point toward a brighter future for Niagara Falls.
The region’s transformation will not only enhance its appeal to tourists but also boost economic growth, create jobs, and elevate Ontario‘s standing on the world stage. Through partnerships with the gaming industry and international event organizers, Niagara Falls is set to become a vibrant hub for entertainment, culture, and tourism for years to come.

The NFL draft has evolved into a global event, showcasing talented players from countries beyond the United States. Canada has emerged as a significant source of talent, producing notable players such as Jevon Holland, Josh Palmer, Benjamin St-Juste, Matthew Bergeron, and John Metchie III.
The upcoming 2024 NFL Draft is anticipated to further expand this trend, with many Canadian prospects projected to be selected.
 NFL draft choices – Theo Johnson, Te, Penn State
 Theo Johnson, Te, Theo Johnson emerged as a reliable pass-catching option at Penn State, accumulating 77 receptions for 938 yards and 12 touchdowns over four seasons. Hailing from Windsor, Ontario, he was regarded as the top Canadian prospect in the 2020 recruiting class and lived up to expectations throughout his college career.
Johnson’s pre-draft profile improved as he showcased his skills alongside the most athletic testers at the NFL Combine. Among participating tight ends, he excelled, ranking first in the shuttle (4.19) and placing second in the 40-yard dash (4.57), vertical jump (39.5 inches), and broad jump (10-foot-5). His performance positioned him as a likely top-100 selection in the draft.
Isaiah Adams, Ol, Illinois
 Isaiah Adams initially played in Canada at Wilfrid Laurier University. In contrast to most Canadian prospects, Isaiah Adams initially played college football in Canada at Wilfrid Laurier University before transferring to Garden City Community College and, eventually, Illinois. During his time at Illinois, Adams demonstrated versatility by playing tackle and guard.
Adams excelled at tackle and guard positions throughout his two-year stint at Illinois. Although his nearly 34-inch arms are ideal for playing tackle, his strength and ability to overpower defenders in the running game make him better suited for guard. Adams, a native of Ajax, Ontario, is considered an underrated prospect who can seamlessly fit in at either left or right guard.
Anim Dankwah, Ot, Howard
 Anim Dankwah: He stands out with impressive measurements, including a height (nearly 6-8), weight (353 pounds), wingspan (85.5 inches), and arm length (35 1/8 inches) Anim Dankwah possesses the blend of size, length, and strength that NFL teams highly value in a developing offensive tackle prospect. He stands out with impressive measurements, including a height in the 91st percentile (nearly 6-8), weight in the 97th percentile (353 pounds), wingspan in the 94th percentile (85.5 inches), and arm length in the 82nd percentile (35 1/8 inches), as per MockDraftable. It’s rare to find NFL prospects with such imposing physical attributes.
Dankwah played for five seasons at Howard University in Washington, D.C., participating in 39 games. As a three-year starter at left tackle, he has gained valuable experience leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft. Dankwah’s performance peaked in the recent season, allowing a career-low 11 pressures in 2023.
Moreover, betting fans can check the transfer odds at Sports Interaction Canada. They can also engage by placing wagers on the expected transfers.
Qwan’tez Stiggers, Cb, Toronto Argonauts
 Earning a spot with the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League. His impressive performance for the Argonauts, including starting all 16 games, notching 53 tackles, and five interceptions, culminated in him being named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Rookie for the 2023 season. Despite being born in Atlanta, Georgia, Stiggers has perhaps the most remarkable story of any prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft. In 2020, he was slated to play college football at Lane College, an HBCU program, but tragedy derailed his plans.
Following his father’s passing in a single-vehicle accident, Stiggers was forced to leave school prematurely. Unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to play college football as the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Subsequently, Stiggers joined the Fan-Controlled Football League, an indoor 7-on-7 format, before earning a spot with the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League (CFL). His impressive performance for the Argonauts, including starting all 16 games, notching 53 tackles, and five interceptions, culminated in him being named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Rookie for the 2023 season.
Stiggers continued his improbable journey to the 2024 NFL Draft by turning heads at the East-West Shrine Bowl. With more than 10 pre-draft visits, he has garnered significant interest from NFL teams.
Although Stiggers is not Canadian by birth, Canada has played a crucial role in his football journey. Although he never played college football, his draft selection will mark a historic moment in his career.
Tanner Mclachlan, Te, Arizona
 Wildcats’ all-time leading receiver among tight ends. Tanner McLachlan showcased his skills as a formidable pass-catching option during his time at Arizona, where he amassed 79 receptions for 984 yards and six touchdowns over two seasons. His performance made him the Wildcats’ all-time leading receiver among tight ends. McLachlan’s journey to Arizona, where he walked on from Southern Utah, demonstrated his ability to compete at a higher level.
At the NFL Combine, McLachlan caught the attention of scouts with a 4.61-second 40-yard dash and a 35-inch vertical jump. Hailing from Lethbridge, Alberta, he is viewed as a tight end capable of stretching the seam, with the versatility to line up attached to the line of scrimmage as the “Y” or play in space as a modern “F” tight end.
Final Thoughts
The NFL draft has evolved into a global event, showcasing talents from beyond the United States, with Canada emerging as a notable source. The upcoming 2024 draft is expected to continue this trend, with Canadian prospects like Theo Johnson, Isaiah Adams, Anim Dankwah, Qwan’tez Stiggers, and Tanner McLachlan demonstrating the country’s depth and diversity of talent.
 The NFL Draft – a global event.

 It has been a busy fall for the Admin Team at Millcroft Against Bad Development. An update on their activities and what they think can be done to assist in stopping this development.
They have been working closely with our elected officials Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, Councillor Angelo Bentivegna, MPP Effie Triantafilopoulos and MPP Natalie Pierre.
In meeting the Premier back in September, he stated to the MAD team that he would reach out to our Mayor to work on this together, contact MPP Paul Calandra to get up to speed on our file and explore all options to preserve our green space.
Many in the community were resting their hope on convincing the Premier to issue an MZO – a Ministerial Zoning Order that could quash the decision issued by the Ontario Land Tribunal. There are reports that the Premier has already said he would not be issuing an MZO.
The Mayor and the MAD team are still waiting for a meeting with the Premier and are hopeful that this will take place in the near future now that the Legislature is back in session.
 MAD points to their support across the Region MAD continues to encourage everyone to send a letter in support of preserving our green space to Doug Ford
MAD is pleased to report that we now have over 14,100 signatures in support of saving our Burlington Green Space with well over 63% from residents outside of the Millcroft area. Our support is GTA wide with supporters from Hamilton, Oakville, Milton, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Vaughn and beyond.
Please forward this to your friends and family, help us achieve the new goal of 15,000 signatures!

Is the Mayor withholding information?

October 21st, 2024
BURLINGTON, ON
At the opening of each Council meeting Mayor Meed Ward reads a statement:
 Did Jim Thomson hear the Mayor? She didn’t say anything about T-shirts “We ask folks not to engage in any behavior that may be considered disruptive, interrupting, shouting, clapping if you agree, booing, if you don’t. We want everyone to feel absolutely comfortable to say what they came to say, and not worry about whether they will be popular or unpopular in expressing those views. So we ask folks to just be respectful. We don’t permit indecent, offensive or insulting language or speaking disrespectfully about anyone or to anyone in council chambers that includes staff or other members of the public and certainly committee members.
