88 m. ago U.S. trade war has Ontario business owners' confidence at historic lows

Ontario small business owners are bracing for the worst amid some of the most uncertain economic times the province has ever faced.Canada's most populous province is expected to be one of the hardest hit by a tariff war with the U.S., and confidence among small business owners in Ontario has plummeted to historic lows.The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB)'s Business Barometer long-term index took a total nosedive in March, with the small business confidence indicator dropping 24.8 index points to an all-time low of 25 nationwide.To put this sharp decline into perspective, this figure represents lower levels of small business owners' confidence than any point recorded during the pandemic years in the early 2020s, the 2008 financial crisis, or even in the wake of the September 11 attacks in 2001.CFIB"Small business owners are feeling pessimistic about their business's perspectives for the next few months or even beyond.

94 m. ago Here's when cherry blossoms in Toronto's High Park could bloom in 2025

After a dazzling weather day on March 19, with temperatures above 20 C and sunshine to boot, there's no doubt that springtime is in the air. Thursday officially marks the first day of spring, which, in Toronto, can only mean one thing: the High Park cherry blossom bloom is on its way.An annual spectacle that draws tens of thousands of visitors to the park every year, the cherry blossom bloom, though breathtaking, can be equally difficult to anticipate.Over the past decade, peak bloom dates have varied by as much as a month, ranging from mid-April to mid-May, dependent on factors like temperatures, precipitation and frost — and with spring in Toronto frequently taking the pendulum approach, it can be hard to predict when the big bloom will arrive.Luckily, you don't have to make a trip to High Park every day to keep track of how the trees are looking (unless you want to) — someone's doing it for you!Sakura Steve of Sakura in High Park is officially back for the 2...
