Rent reduced for riders, early budget items approved by Regina Council

Council retroactively slashed $1.33 million in rent owed by the Roughriders.
Are the Leafs using Matthews the right way?
Is Babcock using his roster properly?
These are the headlines right below another headline. Babcock bites back at critics; they hired me to decide.
Ah yes, we all questioned how long it would take until the highest paid coach in the NHL started to get tired of the fishbowl in Toronto.
I think we’re starting to see it. Babcock apologized earlier in the season for snapping back at a reporter questioning strategy.
And you can understand to a certain extent why the coach would get tired of it. He’ll have the Leafs back in the playoffs again this season, a year after making the playoffs when many thought it would be a hard one.
We have jobs to do to spark debate and engage an audience. The coaches just are paid to win.
The higher the interest, higher the ridicule when things aren’t going well.
Babcock and Riders coach Chris Jones should start a support group for coaches of teams who live in the fishbowl.
