4 h. ago A completely abandoned Toronto home is still somehow selling for $8 million

The average price of a house sold on the Bridle Path in Toronto is over $16 million.It's a neighbourhood of excess wealth, ostentatious mega-mansions and the 0.1 per cent of society. But in and amongst all those over-the-top houses, you'll find 48 The Bridle Path, a 103- by 260-foot piece of land with a vine covered bungalow that has sat abandoned since 2017, if not longer.  Construction happening across the street. Normally when plots of land become available in the Bridle Path, it's just a matter of time before a cavalcade of construction workers arrive to build the next mansion. However, that's not what happened at all at 48 The Bridle Path.In 2017, the property sold for $6,100,000 after just a week on the market. But less than a year later, it was back up for sale for $7,995,000. It took two years and four tries before it finally sold for $6,500,000 in 2019. Then 48 The Bridle Path just sat there for years.Ove...

Donald Trump is once again suggesting that Wayne Gretzky enter a new arena — the political one.On Wednesday night, the American president took to Truth Social to share thoughts about the Hall of Fame hockey player, who has closely associated himself with Trump in recent months."Wayne Gretzky is a fantastic guy! They call him 'The Great One,' and he is. He could run for any political office in Canada, and win," Trump wrote on Truth Social."Wayne is my friend, and he wants to make me happy, and is therefore somewhat 'low key' about Canada remaining a separate country rather than becoming a cherished and beautiful 51st state, paying much lower taxes, a free and powerful military, NO TARIFFS and having a booming economy."Gretzky hasn't exactly kept his political thoughts hidden over the last few months. On election night in November, he was at Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida. In December, Trump suggested Gretzky should run for prime minister, and...

12 h. ago New signs suggest delayed Toronto LRT line may finally be opening soon

The day of the Ontario general election is as good of a time as any to assess the failures that have taken place under various provincial leaders, one of the most glaring of which is the bungling of some of the province's largest transit projects.Now five years past due and in an unbelievable 14th year of construction is, of course, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, a line that promises to shuttle thousands of passengers per hour across 19 kilometres of the city, but which has become a blight known far and wide for never actually reaching completion.And, while the Finch West LRT — a line that started construction an entire eight years later — at first appeared to be progressing much better, it has also run into its share of delays. Though the province announced Line 6's completion back in September, an actual opening date has yet to be announced, as is still also the case with the even more beleaguered Line 5.But, there ha...
