10 h. ago Here's what the next month of summer weather will look like in Ontario

The forecast for the next month of Canada's summer has just landed, and Ontario is in for some scorching temperatures that will be hottest along parts of its southern border.The Weather Network is anticipating the remainder of July to "really live up to its reputation" as the hottest time of year this year, with thermometers surging above normal across most of the country, and well above normal in select areas.The lower halves of Alberta and Saskatchewan — including around Edmonton and Regina — are in for a scorching few weeks, along with a sliver of northwestern Ontario near Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, and southern Ontario near Windsor.While TWN said in a blog post on Friday that while the heat will largely be focused around the Prairies, "it will shift into Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada at times" in an alternating pattern that'll mean no one in the country will have to bear sky-high temps for to...

10 h. ago Yankees announcer has made an enemy of Toronto Blue Jays fans

New York Yankees announcer Michael Kay might be regretting stirring up the Toronto Blue Jays fans — and one of his cross-border colleagues — this week.It all started earlier this week when Kay, the longtime voice of the Yankees for YES Network, took to his radio show to discuss the Blue Jays beating New York 12-5 on Canada Day at the Rogers Centre."The Blue Jays are not a first-place team, I'm sorry." Kay said. "If you look at the run differential, the Yankees' run differential is +105. The Blue Jays, after their 12-5 win, finally got into the positive yesterday, they're +4. Do you realize that they should be a .500 team?"How do people genuinely listen to this idiot, man pic.twitter.com/lcrLAnymQd— mj (@Hockey_Is_All) July 2, 2025At the time, the Jays were one game back of the Yankees for first place in the American League East. While they've not blown out their opponents in nearly as many games as the Yankees, a strong record in...

33 h. ago Toronto neighbourhood throwing a surprise street festival this weekend

Toronto's Baldwin Village is about to come alive this Saturday, July 5, as local merchants band together for an impromptu street party that promises to bring big energy to one of the city's most underrated neighbourhoods.The one-day celebration will feature a dynamic mix of music, food, art, and dance, plus at least a couple of artisan markets; there's the potential for a surprise fashion show, too! Each business along Baldwin is curating its own lineup of talent, and so far, the street is shaping up to host a mix of live bands, DJs, visual artists, and performers.It's a grassroots event in every sense. There's no formal street closure (yet), no major sponsors, or flashy branding; it’s just a collective effort by independent business owners who want to breathe new life into this little tucked-away village. Despite being home to some of the most charming patios and low-key restaurants in the city, it still flies under the radar for many Torontonians. But thi...
