Toronto (sports) the bad: The conclusion

Bruce Arthur and Dave Feschuk take a final tour through Toronto's recent sports history. They touch on the bean-counting days of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Rogers to the more ambitious days of Bell and Rogers, with Larry Tanenbaum in between. They muse on the bad old days of the Leafs, Raptors and Jays to the current era of Brendan Shanahan, Masai Ujiri, and Mark Shapiro in Toronto sports. They consider the end of Alex Anthopoulos, the Raptors title (and the subsequent idea that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George could have come to Toronto), and the many failures, big and small, of the Toronto Maple Leafs. How could it have been different? How do you fix it now? Are the Jays doomed to corporate mediocrity, are the Raptors too far from their championship peak, and have the Leafs accumulated too much baggage to actually have a championship contending window? Arthur and Feschuk take you through the whole big ball of failure, and more.

The story of mass murder in a GTA condo tower

WARNING: This story includes sensitive subject matter, including discussion of gun violence, gender-based violence and intimate partner violence, that could be triggering for some listeners. Guest: Michele Henry, staff reporter It was an unthinkable act of violence: a lone gunman, seemingly angry at fellow residents in his Vaughan condo building, unleashed a torrent of bullets that left five people dead and others injured. It was the deadliest mass shooting in the GTA's recent history and now, we understand more about the man behind the crime. Our country's worst killers do not need notoriety. That's not why we are here today, but it is important to understand motivations and the reasons why. As the Star's Michele Henry found, there are connections to our notorious criminals who have perpetuated violence and we must pay attention to what those things are. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Sean Pattendon and Crawford Blair.

The first cobalt refinery in North America is in Canada

In this episode, we visit a cobalt refinery in Cobalt, Ont. that's running on renewable power and doubling as a battery recycling plant. Electra Battery Materials bought the plant in 2018 and five years on, they've got the first cobalt refinery in North America, the only alternative for EV manufacturers who currently get their cobalt refined in China. Toronto Star photographer Steve Russell and climate change reporter Marco Chown Oved went on a road trip through northern Ontario in the dead of winter. It was cold, blizzarding and icy. They travelled 2,300 km during the coldest week of the year. And they did it in an electric vehicle (EV).

Blue Jays outfielders George Springer and Nathan Lukes, pitcher Easton Lucas and more

Guests: Blue Jays outfielders George Springer and Nathan Lukes, pitcher Easton Lucas Coming off a sweep in Houston where Blue Jays hitters were almost completely shut down for three games, we go over an agonizing "week that was," one in which the Jays only won once and one that finished on a tear-your-hair-out frustrating five-game losing streak. One of the only players on the team who is hitting at the moment is the resurgent George Springer, and he joins us to discuss his unexpectedly hot start as well as his charity bowling event in support of The Stuttering Association for the Young. We talk to Nathan Lukes, who welcomed a new baby boy last week, though he wasn't able to make it home to Arizona for the birth. We also chat with left-hander Easton Lucas, the day before his second straight rough start got him optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.

Who's to blame when Toronto pools close during a heatwave?

GUEST: Star climate change reporter Kate Allen Toronto just sweltered its way through one of the most intense heatwaves on record. Many Torontonians seeking relief from the heat were met with disappointment and locked doors at more than a dozen public pools as they ended up being closed because of heat safety protocols for the lifeguards. What followed was a political showdown between Mayor Olivia Chow and Premier Doug Ford, with both sides pointing fingers over who was responsible. And amid the public backlash, Mayor Chow has introduced a new motion calling for more resources and look to bringing back 24/7 cooling centred that were cancelled in 2019. As extreme heat becomes our new normal, is the city prepared to provide equitable access to cooling for all its residents? Produced by Saba Eitizaz and Paulo Marques

The cycle of Toronto's gun violence that statistics don't show

Guest: Jason Miller, Toronto Star crime reporter On Aug.16, eight-year-old JahVai Roy was shot and killed in his North York apartment when a bullet pierced his bedroom window. A teenager has since been charged, and Toronto police are looking for two more teen suspects. But for JahVai's family, the trauma didn't end that night. They're now displaced, grieving, and navigating a system with few real supports. In this episode, we look at how gun violence continues to disproportionately impact Toronto's most marginalized communities—even as crime stats go down—and what we're still missing in how we respond to the aftermath. Produced by Sean Pattendon
