Despite a small surge just before the official start of spring, bidding activity on homes in the GTA largely seized up in March thanks to the ongoing trade war between Canada and the U.S. These economic and political uncertainties have convinced many prospective buyers to put their dreams of homeownership on hold, and as a result, homes in certain areas of the GTA are seeing bids well below their listing prices. A recent analysis by the digital real estate platform Wahi compared the differences between list and sold prices in roughly 400 neighbourhoods across the GTA.

For the first time in 47 years, a legendary piece of art that's called Spadina subway station home for decades is set to be displayed at a Toronto museum as part of a larger exhibition celebrating the work of renowned Canadian artist Joyce Wieland. In the mid-1970s, as the TTC was planning to expand its network with nine new subway stops stretching out of the downtown core, it commissioned several artists to create artwork for the upcoming transit stops, including Wieland. Recognized globally as one of the leading Canadian contemporary artists of the 20th century, Wieland's artwork "Barren Ground Caribou" continued the ecological themes in her work.
