2 h. ago Trendy cannabis brand appears to have shut down all Toronto locations

A line of cannabis dispensaries that made a big splash across Ontario appears to be going the way of the dodo, with all locations in the province but one closing down for good.Could it be? The dispensary boom that's made Toronto the butt of wide-spread jokes over the years (which we laughed along with, because, when there's a dispensary every 200 metres, you find yourself laughing a lot for whatever reason,) is finally coming to an end?Well, not exactly.When cannabis was finally legalized in Canada back in 2018, it took infinite patience and a healthy amount of tongue-holding to convince my parents that the good-old devil's lettuce isn't bad or evil, and that the people who use it aren't (exclusively) grubby hippies. Not that there's anything wrong with being a grubby hippie anyway.It wasn't until strolling through Rosedale one day that my mom and I stumbled upon Ottawa-based dispensary chain Superette's first Toronto location that her eyes were opened to a whole new image...

This current spring-like weather may have residents of Toronto already dreaming about all of their summer plans, which, for many, will include at least one trip to the islands to enjoy some sand, sun and swimming in one of the city's largest parks and top warm-weather attractions. Unfortunately, the best weekends for heading to the islands are more often than not marred by the onerous task of actually getting to the archipelago — which should actually be easier this summer for multiple reasons.Seemingly every time in recent memory that a beautiful long weekend has come around, sticky, frustrated masses are left lining up for hours to board one of the City's decades-old ferries, which are progressively more prone to mechanical issues and breakdowns.Along with contemplating a potential bridge to get people across the harbour, the City signed on to invest $135 million in new electric watercraft and associated retrofits to our exis...
