5 h. ago Couple from U.S. pays for everyone in Ontario restaurant as apology for Trump

Amid an extremely tense political moment between Americans and Canadians, one U.S. couple's simple gesture of kindness is serving as a reminder that there is still a sense of camaraderie and solidarity between people across the two nations, tariff threats be damned.The guests, named Bill and Sara, were dining at the Toast restaurant in Windsor on Saturday, which lies just over the border from their home in Michigan.Given the present political climate — from Trump's plan for economically devastating tariffs on Canadian goods to him repeatedly and earnestly suggesting our country become the 51st American state — the couple thought it was fitting to extend some sort of olive branch while visiting the Ontario town.So, they decided to cover the bill of every other person eating at the busy establishment at the time. It's something restaurant owners later said was a first for them in nine years of business, and that had ev...

In this slow real estate market, some realtors are thinking outside the box to get their house to sell. Take 218 Bogert Ave., for example. This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in West Lansing has been on and off the market four times since 2023 without selling. The living room. It was first listed for $1,599,000, but after a month on the market, owners took it down. They then performed a couple of upgrades in the house, like painting the kitchen cabinets, and re-listed it for $1,698,000.But, it still didn't sell.  A bedroom. Most recently, it was listed again for $1,888,000. But still, you guessed it: no bites. A bathroom. Now, the realtors have opted to list 218 Bogert Ave. for just $1, hoping maybe they'll get lucky and spark a bidding war that will get the owners closer to their desired selling price. A bedroom. It does seem a bit strange that the involved parties have ...
