21 h. ago Site of former abandoned TTC terminal cleared after years of construction

The former footprint of a long-abandoned TTC bus terminal sits empty after almost a decade of construction chaos.Eglinton Station's original bus terminal was built in 1954 as a surface connection hub for what was then the northern terminus of Toronto's first subway line. It operated for 50 years before a modern replacement opened to the immediate south in 2004, and would sit abandoned for another 12 years.In recent weeks, this site has been cleared of construction equipment, signalling the long-anticipated end of a seemingly cursed transit project that has plagued midtown Toronto for over a decade.Construction of the Crosstown LRT began in the summer of 2011, but it wasn't until mid-2016 that the long-abandoned bus terminal was cleared ahead of its future use as an extraction shaft for two of the four tunnel boring machines (TBMs) that carved the line's underground sections.Launched in 2012 from a similar launch shaft dug in Keelesdale Park, the western pair TBMs carved 10-kilo...

23 h. ago Vast majority of Canadians now say they are living 'paycheque to paycheque'

Struggling financially due to the cost of living? You're not alone. A new survey shows most Canadians feel like they're only just covering their living costs.A new H&R Block Canada survey on how much money Canadians save shows that they're increasingly worried about not putting enough away for a rainy day. As a rule of thumb, 20 per cent of people's paycheques should go towards savings. However, on average, participants said they only manage to put away 7 per cent of their earnings.That's because the majority of participants said that they feel like living paycheque to paycheque is the "new reality.""When thinking about the prevailing culture of saving in Canada, a whopping 85 per cent feel that living paycheque to paycheque is the new norm," reads the survey. "This is up from 60 per cent who said they felt that way in a similar H&R Block study from 2024."It's hardly surprising, given that one in 10 Canadians say that what they earn isn't enough to cover living costs.
