14 h. ago It's been a history of ups and downs for Toronto's most notorious speed camera

Whether you love or hate Toronto's automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras, the City continues to lean into the road safety strategy, adding another 75 of the machines to various Community Safety Zones just this month, bringing the total to 150.The tech has proven to be both extremely effective and lucrative since it was launched as a pilot in 2019, bringing in millions in revenue and resulting in tens of thousands of tickets.This success has been led by one camera in particular along Parkside Drive, the High Park-adjacent thoroughfare that has become notorious for accidents — and, now, its ongoing ASE drama.In its first 1.5 years of operation alone, the Parkside machine nabbed more than 34,000 speeding drivers, amounting to a phenomenal $3.6 million-plus in fines, a figure that has since surpassed $7 million. But, this has led to it being targeted by vandals, something that has become a persistent issue with the tec...

53 h. ago The history of Queen's Park's chaotic opening day in Ontario

Today, Queen's Park is the nerve centre of Ontario's provincial government and a familiar landmark in Toronto. The impressive Romanesque Revival building, which is made of pink Credit Valley sandstone, has been home to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario since 1893.It also houses the Lieutenant Governor's suite and offices for Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs), but what you might not know is that its opening day was quite a bit…quirky.In 1859, the City leased the area from King's College, and the following year, the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) opened up a park in honour of his mother, Queen Victoria. The park was long considered a location for new parliament buildings, and between 1879 and 1880, their construction was officially authorized by the Ontario Legislature and city council.Queen's Park circa 1893.

3 d. ago Destroyed Ontario ghost town was almost a historic catastrophe

Once a quaint French Ontarian farming village nestled along the South Nation River, Lemieux, Ontario, is now nothing more than a distant memory.Formerly located just an hour's drive east of Ottawa, the town's origins can be traced back to the mid-1850s, when it began as a service centre for the local lumber industry before transitioning into a farming hamlet.Though the community appeared stable on the surface, it was built on sensitive marine silts and clays, known as Leda clay, which were laid down during the Champlain Sea roughly 10,000 years ago.The 1993 Lemeiux landslide.
