And is joining first off, your reaction to today's announcement. >> Well, for some, thanks for its great to be with you again. And it's pretty exciting stuff. I mean, larry tanenbaum and the organization kilmer sports group of what they've done and how long it's taking them to get to this point. Mean, it's, it's going to resonate in so many different ways on the sport landscape, not only in toronto, but across ontario and frankly, across canada. Given that it will be the only wnba team, you can ok, minister lawns. And along those this team is expected to >> Play in montreal and vancouver. All roads lead back to toronto. Let's talk about that impact. Well, I think the impact you know, I I sat back when I found about this and start thinking about it. >> The first day I go to is is amateur sports and kids in sport and actually thought back a few years ago. And my son, my daughter locals right in its own hands and we're going to go back to see going to come back to you. Okay, steve, I think that we have everything ready for you. Okay. Taking away c. >> Exciting day for a basketball fan for sure. Wnba is coming to town in 2026. The manse responsible for this is larry tanenbaum thank you for your time and your thoughts on today. >> We're so excited about. Being able to have awarded wnba game 4. >> Toronto for canada. To you know, it is spectacular historical day actually. And we're so looking forward to building the team tipping off. And 2026 and I told you know, 2 years to get a championship and that that's, that's that that's the game. Plan. Your remarks earlier on when he spoke. >> After the prime minister, the premier and the mayor passion remarks about women sport and elevating women sport. Can reflect that? Well, you know, I I've always been a great supporter of our canadian women's team, whether soccer hockey basketball. And we have some spectacular women. Stanton, I always imagined why we only have to have it during the olympics and why, you know, why can't we have professional sports, women's sports, you know, you're around. So so as a, you know, of all this, all women's sports, I had the opportunity of getting a wnba team. Was just too attractive basketball game. A couple years ago where it sold out minutes that catch your attention all. And when you heard that news. >> Absolutely. I mean it out same 20,000 people at the scotiabank arena, they're fans >> People came up to me after and said, you know, when you bring a team here, bring a team here and absolutely that that was a motivating one of the motivating factors. But as I say, you know, just seen the quality at the, you know, our national teams are in women's national games saying, you know, all these ladies and young women all the various sports, you know, having sort of a north you know, a professional team there, you know, they have some something to shoot for. So where are looking forward to the to >> Larry tanenbaum, he the lead when it comes to the investment in basketball team. They are the 14th team in wnba history 28 season of the wnba. And as reset. 2026 of the inaugural season for the toronto team to exciting times. You're a basketball for all right, that to be 24 steve ryan live at hotel x. This is where announcement was made. Let's bring things back into continuing our conversation with minister lumsden ontario's tourism. >> Culture and sport minister. Okay, so we just heard right there. Mister tenenbaum says 2 years to get a what is that going to for fans for tourism? Well, it does so much for for a fan perspective, they know that there's ownership group that is not just bring a team here, but breed team here to win. >> I mean, it's inspirational aspirational and a lot of different fronts when it comes to and i, I refer to as high performance sport because that's exactly what these the who these women high performance athletes playing professional basketball and so what it means to the community is the impact it will have bringing people into town for overnights coming to games. The draw has been incredible. We've seen in hockey, the pwhl, we're going to see it in basketball and they're already seeing the united states and having talked to some people, the league is thrilled to be coming to toronto. They just they know the curtain is getting pulled back and it's going to be a huge came along those lines. These games are going to be played in when they're playing here to run out. The coca-cola >> Coliseum right. With that in mind, you know, let's talk about the infrastructure, their plans to, you know, expand that maybe, you know, building their own arena or

or, you know, expanding or renovate the cocoa. I think that the renovations are planned there. But knowing a little bit that I do about mister tanenbaum and those around him. And there are some phenomenal leadership within the organizations, including kilmer sports group, that they will start. Where they start is not where they will finish. And that includes on the court and what's going on around that they want to be, I believe in these are my words, not his, the elite franchise in the wnba. And if that's what they're thinking, there's no question my mind that they will misses missing ones. What did it take to get to today? Well, I you know, I think it took a istar premier for was was there today and spoke very well. He's excited about this opportunity. He understands the growth of sport. Now important sport is from the business development piece. It takes a while. I think that, you know, you just don't snap your fingers as you, I think, you know, and say, hey, let's have a franchise. Let's start next week. There's so much work that has to go into that. There's such a strong foundation in sports and entertainment in the city already. Thanks, mister tanenbaum and his ali group on all fronts. So I think what it what it ultimately comes down to let's put the right p. Puzzle pieces in place. So we get it right. And they've got lots of experience in professional sports to draw from when taking a look at the ripple effect. Let's talk about that because there are so many things that are in place, including merchandise or the ripple effect let's, let's start backwards, can talk about the young young women out there that now will have an opportunity for so many years ago. High school, maybe college basketball not to and maybe there would be lucky enough to think about representing the country at the olympics or national championships. This changes the landscape for everyone out there. And that's why referred to high-performance sports. I don't particularly like getting into was meant it's not. These are high performance athletes across the best in the globe coming to play in the wnba and we're going to be right here in toronto. So young people that aspire to go to the next level. The the inspiration doesn't just isn't about just to go perf play professional basketball, it's to get better because somebody else has got better and they've done it and they see themselves where they get their not isn't necessarily the point. It's inspiring of young athletes is the impact is going to have minister launched and we have to wrap up. The team hasn't been named yet, you give us any I have no clue what I saw little orange today. And mister tannen, bomb's tie was orange a morning room. Will that be part of the colour scheme? I don't know. You'll know before I did. Okay. All right, just loves it. Thanks so much. Enjoyed she ate it. Ok. And along those lines moving along the rule leader crombie has requested an update into the status of the ongoing greenbelt investigation. So the letter to the rcmp commissioner crombie says. >> No. From its reveals closer involvement by ford and his staff and are just a closer view of its own. Investigation was launched in october after ontario's integrity commissioner released a detailed report this summer how lands were selected to be removed from the province's green. Premier ford has denied any involvement in the scandal. Well, toronto city councillors are back at it again today, looking at dozens of items still on the agenda.
