3 w. ago Toronto brothers were almost evicted for being a single penny short on rent

Two brothers in Toronto narrowly avoided eviction late last year over a one-cent shortfall, and tenant advocates say it reveals just how dicey renting has become in Ontario, and how proposed legislation could make it even worse. According to the York South-Weston Tenant Union, Toronto brothers Olliver and Carl received an eviction order last year without a hearing or warning. Based on documents supplied by the union, their landlord filed for eviction after the brothers paid $1,860 instead of the required $1860.01, just a one-cent difference. Thankfully, with the help of the union, the brothers were able to "set aside" the order, which allows tenants to contest an eviction after it has been issued. However, the union warns that under the proposed legislation introduced by the Ford government, that option could disappear altogether. The eviction order received by the brothers.

A recent transit map created by a U.S. tourist provides a look at what the public transportation network could look like in the GTA in the next few decades. The viral transit map was created by Chicago resident Luka, who currently works part-time at the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), which oversees all transit in the Chicagoland region, while he completes his Master's Degree in transportation planning. During a trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls earlier this year, Luka was inspired to create a Golden Horseshoe Rail Map, including transit stops in the GTA that are currently open, under construction, or proposed by various levels of government. "I had the opportunity to ride TTC and GO services, and I was really impressed with both the service levels you guys have in Toronto as well as your ambitious transit expansion programs. I couldn't help but compare your city's transit system to my own in Chicago, especially considering our citi...
