4 h. ago People in Ontario are least happy about their jobs out of all of Canada

Those of us with secure jobs in Ontario should feel pretty fortunate given how bad unemployment levels have gotten — especially in cities like Windsor and Toronto — but it seems that, along with a rising rate of joblessness, the province is also home to some of the most miserable workers.Canadian HR services firm ADP regularly examines how satisfied Canadians across the country are with their work lives with a monthly index, and the most recent figures show that workplace happiness is on the decline in Ontario, which is now tied with Atlantic Canada for last place.As the company headlined a recent release, "Ontario has just been named the least happy province to work in, plunging to the bottom of the national list with a score of just 6.7/10 in June 2025."Factors assessed include, alongside the primary indicator of how one would rank their overall enjoyment of their vocation, things like compensation and be...

4 h. ago Toronto neighbourhood throwing a surprise street festival this weekend

Toronto's Baldwin Village is about to come alive this Saturday, July 5, as local merchants band together for an impromptu street party that promises to bring big energy to one of the city's most underrated neighbourhoods.The one-day celebration will feature a dynamic mix of music, food, art, and dance, plus at least a couple of artisan markets; there's the potential for a surprise fashion show, too! Each business along Baldwin is curating its own lineup of talent, and so far, the street is shaping up to host a mix of live bands, DJs, visual artists, and performers.It's a grassroots event in every sense. There's no formal street closure (yet), no major sponsors, or flashy branding; it’s just a collective effort by independent business owners who want to breathe new life into this little tucked-away village. Despite being home to some of the most charming patios and low-key restaurants in the city, it still flies under the radar for many Torontonians. But thi...

If you're headed to the state of Baja California Sur, you'll now have to pay a mandatory tax.It's going to cost you a little more to travel to the popular Mexican state that's known for its nightlife, marine life, and luxury resorts, after the government of Baja California Sur announced that the Embrace It Tax is now in effect.That means all foreign visitors, including travellers from Canada, planning to visit the state in the northwest of Mexico will now be required to pay the tax before entry.What is the Embrace It Tax?According to the Ministry of Tourism and Economy, Baja welcomed 1.9 million travellers between January and May 2025, a 3.2 per cent increase from the previous year.

7 h. ago Shuttered Toronto Mexican spot reopens in new location with beer garden

A Toronto restaurant from one of the city’s most well-regarded chefs has just been replaced with a new Mexican restaurant and beer garden.It was the closure heard around the city when renowned Toronto chef, Anthony Rose, decided to close the doors on Fet Zun, the quasi-sister location to Toronto's much-loved Fat Pasha.Okay, maybe it wasn't quite that big of a deal, but it still came as a shock to the scores of Annex locals who frequented the restaurant.Boasting a massive indoor footprint, as well as ample backyard space (which housed Madame Boeuf and Flea, its burger pop-up) and a spacious front patio, the restaurant, despite being open year-round, was particularly a summertime staple.Lingering dormant since Fet Zun's closure in December of 2024, the question loomed large as to what would replace it for months. What could possibly be worthy of the prized piece of Dupont real estate?Now, we finally have an answer.As of June 27, Fet Zun's old locat...
