4 h. ago Dodgers star gets booed out of Toronto kids hospital in hilarious new commercial

Toronto Blue Jays fans don't appear to have forgiven the Los Angeles Dodgers just yet – even if it's for a good cause.The Dodgers, as you surely know by now, broke just about all of Canada's collective hearts last month when they topped the Blue Jays in an epic seven-game World Series.And one of the heroes for the Dodgers in that series was Freddie Freeman, hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning of a long Game 3.Given that Freeman represents Canada internationally in baseball due to his Canadian parents' roots, he'd usually be a natural pick for many Canadian commercials.But in a recent holiday spot for SickKids hospital (alongside none other than Ryan Reynolds), Freeman didn't exactly get the warmest of receptions.Rub some dirt on it @FreddieFreeman5! And thank you for being such a good sport supporting @sickkids. Everyone who can, please donate before December 24th and all donations will be matched up to $1,000,000. pic.twitter.c...

5 h. ago Toronto's brutal traffic among world's worst but not as bad as other city in Canada

To the surprise of probably no one, Toronto was yet again called out for its terrible traffic in a new global traffic ranking.The 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard by Inrix ranked the world's worst cities for traffic congestion. Toronto made the list but – fortunately? – it's not as high as you think.According to the report, Toronto took the 34th spot, which could be worse but could also be better. Even U.S. tourists are appalled by our traffic, calling it worse than Los Angeles or India. Ouch. Celebrities constantly call out local gridlock, too. But given the frequency of highway closures and lane restrictions, can we blame them?Alas, it appears our gridlock issues aren't as bad as Montreal's, as the report indicates that the Quebec metropolis has the worst traffic congestion of any other city in Canada. Overall, it ranks as the 28th worst city in the world.  Using three years of transportation data, the report looks at travel times betwe...

The Toronto Blue Jays are hoping a bit of holiday magic might help them land one of the game's top free agents.According to FanSided's Robert Murray and later followed up by multiple reports, free agent Kyle Tucker visited the Blue Jays' complex in Dunedin, Florida, this week.Several Blue Jays players in recent seasons have spoken about the quality of the team's facilities both in Florida and Toronto.And for a player like Tucker, who's expected to land a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, it'd only make sense to get a full tour of his home digs if he were to end up signing in Toronto.If nothing else, it shows that the Jays appear to be serious in their willingness to try to attract top free agents, with players like Tucker also showing at least a preliminary interest in Toronto.What could the Blue Jays expect in Kyle Tucker?Tucker didn't have the best 2025 season with the Chicago Cubs, putting up: a .266 average with 22 home runs and 73 RBI in 13...

This appears as "red, raised, scaly spots," which often impacts people on the knees, scalp, hands, feet, and face but can appear anywhere on the body.Other symptoms can include itchy and painful skin,...
