38 h. ago Toronto's sketchiest condo complex put on blast for reputation in new lawsuit

Sure, downtown Toronto condos may be known as shoddily built and too poorly-designed to be very livable, but one complex undoubtedly takes the cake when it comes to bad reputations, and it's only getting worse.The ICE Condos complex has for years held the title of the sketchiest of its kind in the city, being the site of everything from shootings and balcony fires to garbage-filled stairways and bloody elevators that stall.A notorious ghost hotel from the outset due to the Airbnb-friendly nature of its units, the two-tower, Scotiabank Arena-adjacent development at 12-14 York Street has built up quite the lore in its 11 years of existence.The latest addition to the infamy is a lawsuit that gives a glimpse into how bonkers the goings-on at ICE really are; not the countless headline-worthy incidents, but the politics that take place behind closed doors.A recent decision by the Condominium Authority Tribunal shows that ICE board...

65 h. ago Here are all the new food items at Canada's Wonderland this year

As Canada's Wonderland gears up for what is sure to be one of their most eventful seasons yet, with a new roller coaster and a fresh lawsuit already making headlines ahead of opening day, they're also rolling out a selection of new menu items that run the gamut from weird to wonderful.I, like many, have a love-hate relationship with theme park food.On one hand, a trip to your local theme park, like Canada's Wonderland, is one of the only times when it's socially acceptable to consume only items that have been thoroughly deep-fried, all day long. On the other hand, though, that very diet proves a particularly risky one when it comes to actually getting on a roller coaster.I guess nothing worth having comes without some sacrifice.Lucky for us all, though, Canada's Wonderland is launching a slew of brand-new menu items for the 2025 season at a number of their dining locations, giving you the chance to spice up your regular corn dog and funnel cake rotation.Perh...

67 h. ago Canadian airline named one of the most reliable in North America

Canadians who are tired of stressful flight delays and cancellations may want to consider flying with Flair Airlines for future trips.The Alberta-based low-cost carrier announced on Tuesday that it was one of the top airlines in North America for reliability in April, boasting a 99.8 per cent completion factor and just four cancellations.Flair took the first spot for flight completion across North America, WestJet followed closely behind at 98.6 per cent, and Air Canada and Porter tied for the third spot at 97.8 per cent."Completion rate is the most honest stat in aviation — either the plane flew, or it didn't," said Maciej Wilk, CEO of Flair, in a statement. "Why would you book with someone else if you're 11 times more likely to get cancelled?"Citing data from Cirium, Flair Airlines says its on-time performance record in Canada in April was 80.8 per cent, tying with Air Canada and landing just below Porter. WestJet topped the list wi...

3 d. ago Popular Toronto restaurant chain denies allegations of under

A popular Toronto restaurant chain is responding to allegations of underpayment and tip withholding from former employees.When it comes to Middle Eastern fare in Toronto, there's really no shortage of great places to go, and Tabule, a chain with three locations in the city known for its elevated yet approachable take on the cuisine, is among the best.Falafels, fried cauliflower, lamb chops and flatbread are all among the dishes that have delighted diners since the restaurant first launched in 2005, but, according to a tip sent to blogTO from a self-identifying former employee, it's not quite as pleasant to work there as it is to eat.The former employee, who remains anonymous for the purpose of this article, claims in a statement made to blogTO that over the years they worked at Tabule, they regularly worked well over 44 hours a week, the provincial overtime threshold, but did not receive overtime pay for it."After arranging coverage for much-needed sick d...

3 d. ago Toronto home sales taking absolute nosedive and nobody wants to buy

While the trade war is expected to have some effect on Toronto area real estate, given the substantial blow it's posing to Canada's economy overall, the market has already been in the pits for years now, falling far from the days of quick, easy sales for well over asking price.Listings keep accumulating — putting Toronto at the top of the nation's list for most homes hitting the market — while sales are diminishing to rock bottom levels not seen in decades.April's numbers, just released by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) on Tuesday, serve to reinforce fears that we may have yet to see the worst for local homeowners, many of whom vastly overpaid for the dream of owning a space of their own in the infamously overvalued city.Last month saw 23.3 per cent fewer homes changing hands across the Toronto area than in April of 2024, making for the worst non-pandemic April for sales in 29 years.The average selling price o...

8 d. ago Toronto Maple Leafs break 'cursed' narrative and close out Senators series

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be playing a little bit longer this spring.Facing off against the Ottawa Senators in Game 6 of their first-round series, the Leafs certainly made Thursday night one to remember.Max Pacioretty's first goal of the playoffs late in the third period — followed by a William Nylander empty-netter — gave Toronto a 4-2 win to knock off the Ottawa Senators and give the franchise just their second playoff series win since 2004.With Toronto winning the first three games of the series (two in overtime), they made their fans sweat by allowing Ottawa to come out victorious in the next two.For any longtime Leafs fan, the familiar feelings of existential dread, cursing of one's family lineage, and wondering who exactly to blame for the supposed cursed nature of their franchise began to set in. After Toronto was held scoreless in Game 5 in a 4-0 loss, it was easy to wonder if another all-time collapse was on the way.Auston Matthews broke the deadlock ...
