World renowned environmentalist and activist David Suzuki spoke out Wednesday about mayoral candidate Brad Braford’s plan for Toronto’s water and how it is managed, saying a fundamental need should not be seen as an avenue to make money.

Bradford’s plan involves lowering water bills while making Toronto Water a municipal corporation, like Toronto Hydro, which could then take on debt to fund infrastructure projects, rather than them being funded by the comparatively meagre revenue from water bills alone. Critics say the plan will open the door to privatization and eventually higher water prices.

Patriots pay price for missed opportunities along the way to losing to the Bears

“I know that was a big turning point in the game,” Maye said. “I know I let my team down.” The mistake, Maye’s first turnover in two weeks, had the Patriots playing catch-up for the rest of the game. The Bears scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive to extend their lead to 20-7 and, despite New England’s fight, held on to win.

Enter EmailThe shorthanded Patriots — against a talented opponent on a short week, on the road, on a national stage — had their chances but didn’t have quite enough. Maye completed 24 of 31 passes for 321 yards and two touchdowns, and also scrambled for 26 yards and a score. The pick marred his otherwise solid stat sheet. “It’s a thin margin when you play good teams,” coach Mike Vrabel said. “I know [Drake] would like that throw back to Eli, but I thought he really competed, whether that was running around or scrambling or finding good places to go with the football. He gave us a chance.

Same draft class, stellar play keep Drake Maye and Caleb Williams connected

That’s how it works when enticing prospects commence their NFL careers as high draft picks in the same year. They’re praised and picked apart during the absurdly prolonged buildup to the NFL Draft, which starts the engine for that either/or, are-we-sure-he’s-better-than-him debate. Thursday night, in their second career meeting and first in prime time, Williams and the Bears emerged victorious over Maye and the Patriots, 30-24. Both surpassed 300 yards passing. Both had stellar, and sometimes breathtaking, moments. Caleb Williams's 308 passing yards were spread among just five receivers. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe StaffWilliams completed 22 of 33 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with Luther Burden III for four receptions for 130 yards and a touchdown in the first half alone. His first-quarter 58-yarder with Burden, which set up a D’Andre Swift 4-yard rushing touchdown to give the Bears a 10-0 lead, accounted for more passing yards than Maye had in the entire opening quarter (51).
