A recent transplant from Ontario to Calgary was met with a harsh message in a grocery store parking lot.In a photo shared to Reddit, the user explained that they had just moved from Ontario and hadn't yet changed their licence plates. While shopping at Walmart, they returned to their vehicle to find a note tucked under the windshield wipers."My stomach dropped thinking someone hit my car and left their contact information," they wrote.Instead, the note read: "Dam Easterners coming to Alberta to be safe. Gutless cowards."It's not entirely clear what the author of the message meant by "safe in Alberta." Perhaps they were briefly possessed by the ghost of Ralph Klein, given the tone toward eastern Canadians.From Ontario first grocery experience someone left a note on my car.byu/woundedrhyme1 inCalgaryCalgary commenters were quick to call out the note-leaver, many pointing out the irony of an anonymous note accusing someone else of being c...

Ever wonder how the Rogers Centre in Toronto changes over from baseball to concert mode?Rogers Centre has undergone quite the transformation since the Toronto Blue Jays last played there on Sunday afternoon.With a pair of Metallica concerts set for Thursday and Friday, staff got right to work after the game.Preparing for any type of concert at a sports venue is no easy feat, especially when it's for a group that puts on a show to the level of Metallica. Staff worked through the night, per Metallica photographer Jeff Yeager, transforming the ballpark into a rock venue from 4:36 p.m. Sunday night to 6 a.m. Monday morning.The work was far from done at that point. After the grounds were covered, towers needed to be installed for the upcoming shows, while other big pieces, including the stage, had to be brought into Rogers Centre."Tower build took [until] 8 a.m. [Tuesday]," Yeager wrote on Instagram.

18 h. ago Here's the salary you need to earn to afford a home in Toronto right now

It may be one of the worst times in years to try and sell a home in Toronto, but conversely, those in the market to buy a property may be able to land themselves somewhat of a deal (relative to the city's infamously ludicrous prices, that is).Prices are finally starting to erode in the face of a terribly stagnant market, most notably in the condo sector, where fewer units are changing hands than ever in the last three decades.According to the latest data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the average price of the typical GTA condo fell 2.6 per cent from March 2024 to the month prior, while the average price of a home of any type is down a similar 2.5 per cent over the same period.Sales have dropped a staggering 23.1 per cent year-over-year, while active listings have shot up 88.8 per cent, giving buyers the advantage of choice and negotiating power.As such, along with a Bank of Canada mortgage rate cut in March, the annua...
