OG Anunoby trolling of Schroder was a throwback to middle school
When OG Anunoby flipped Dennis Schroder during the Raptors loss to the Lakers, it looked more like a scene from a school yard than an NBA game.

TORONTO — The Toronto Transit Commission says it will be adding buses to help avoid overcrowding. The statement comes in response to photos of a packed 5 a.m. bus on Bloor Street West that circulated on social media Tuesday. A spokesman says the public transit system has been using a demand-based service model during the COVID-19 pandemic. He says the TTC has had more scheduled bus service available in recent months than it did pre-pandemic. The TTC says it has retrained more than 50 streetcar and subway operators to drive buses. It's also hiring new drivers, with 26 currently in training. The TTC also says 95 per cent of all bus trips have fewer than 25 people on board — half a vehicle’s capacity. The spokesman notes the TTC has 120 to 140 buses available each day to address unforeseen ridership spikes. This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 15, 2021. The Canadian Press

ARLINGTON, Va., April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Willis Towers Watson Investments today announced that it is targeting net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 at the latest, with at least a 50% reduction by 2030*, in its fully discretionary delegated investment portfolios. Craig Baker, Willis Towers Watson’s global chief investment officer, said: “Climate change, and a just transition to net zero greenhouse gas emissions, is a systemic and urgent global challenge. We believe that working to achieve net zero by 2050 in our discretionary portfolios is completely consistent with the financial goals we have been given by our clients, as climate change has the potential to impact returns across multiple asset classes. We have already embedded this in our investment process and ultimately in the portfolios we are managing and stewarding. “Being strategically ahead of a net zero transition will, in our opinion, significantly improve risk-adjusted returns for our clients. This will come from two sources: ‘better beta’ due to more effective stewardship and ‘alpha’ as the mispricing of climate issues is resolved. We think that understanding this transition will be one of the biggest sources of alpha across all asset classes and that this alpha opportunity is likely to be greatest in the next few years. We will therefore target pathways to net zero that seek out pricing opportunities while delivering a reduction in emissions of more than 50% between 2015 and 2030, consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement. “Measurement of our progress and that of the whole investment industry in stewarding the transition to a net zero and climate-resilient economy is an important issue. There is no single definitive metric that can be used to adequately measure progress, and the data and analytics in the climate space are rapidly evolving. We are therefore investing heavily in leading analytics in this space, including our proprietary Carbon Journey Plan methodology, the ‘impact measurement framework’ that we have developed together with other industry participants via the Thinking Ahead Institute, our acquisition of Acclimatise in December 2020 and the arrival of the energy finance team from the Climate Policy Initiative in January 2021. ”We will also continue to work with our advisory clients to set out and deliver on their own climate-related goals via Carbon Journey Plans, including analytics on how climate change might impact liabilities as well as assets.” In addition to integrating climate risk into its multi-asset investment process, Willis Towers Watson also offers a range of multi-manager funds where sustainable investment is a key part of the investment proposition, which clients can use to help them achieve their sustainable investment goals. Further detail on this announcement can be found here. Willis Towers Watson has $166 billion** in assets under management globally across its delegated investment business. Notes to editors: *This represents a halving of emissions compared to a 2015 baseline, consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement. If we started managing the portfolio on a fully discretionary basis after that date or there was a significant change in the nature of the mandate subsequent to 2015, then an appropriate allowance for the shortened timeframe would be made. **As of December 31, 2020 About Willis Towers Watson Willis Towers Watson (NASDAQ: WLTW) is a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company that helps clients around the world turn risk into a path for growth.
