The latest twist in the ongoing breakup between Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs appears to have hit the non-profit sector.According to YYZSportsMedia's Jonah Sigel, Marner's charity — known as the Marner Assist Foundation — is cancelling its annual summer event in Toronto, originally set for next month."After thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year's event, scheduled for July 10 and 11.

19 h. ago No one is building condos in Toronto anymore as market hits 20

Almost every piece of data that has emerged about Toronto real estate in the last year-plus has served as a disheartening blow to anyone with a stake in the market, as the city's once-scorching sector has slowed to a crawl — and keeps waning further.The latest analysis, published by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) on Monday, reinforces that the country's new condo market specifically is in a state of deep turmoil, especially in locales like Toronto and Vancouver, where the housing type has long been a boon to investors.The national housing agency says that as of May, housing starts nationwide have fallen slightly from this time last year, mostly driven by "weak condominium market conditions" in both Toronto and Vancouver that have pulled the stats for these hubs down drastically below this national average.The west coast city broke ground on 10 per cent fewer homes over the co...
