• Hamilton is now a risk area for Lyme disease, with black-legged ticks now present. Global News reports.


• If Ford really will buy the beautiful abandoned Michigan Central Station and rehabilitate this place into a functioning building, this will be a huge signal for Detroit. Detroit News a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2018/03/19/ford-talks-tenant-michigan-central-station/33088971/">reports.


• Is the new Edmonton Valley Line LRT route going to be able to handle near-future growth in traffic? Global News reports.


• Real estate prices are so high that well-paid tradespeople apparently have no plausible choice other than living in trailers beneath Skytrain tracks. MacLean's reports.
