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...

If you're looking to land a new job, lower your living costs and embark on a new adventure, an international airline currently in the midst of a hiring spree across Canada may just be your dream employer.Securing any sort of gig in Toronto is especially competitive right now, with the entire province's unemployment having climbed to a worrying high and slated to rise still — all while residents are feeling the crunch of exorbitant (and rising) prices for nearly everything.With this in mind, the unique work perks offered by Emirates, which is regularly rated as one of the world's top carriers, may be of particular interest to local candidates interested in taking their career to the skies.On top of the discounted travel, health insurance and other benefits that the standard airline extends to its staff, Emirates offers a tax-free salary by virtue of the brand being based in the UAE, an i...

Toronto needs $18 billion to address its state-of-good-repair infrastructure gap over the next 10 years, which is primarily being driven by transit and City facilities, according to a new report. Toronto's 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan (AMP), which was released on Monday, outlines how recent actions to invest in infrastructure renewal are expected to reduce the city's extensive infrastructure backlog and improve service reliability for residents using transit, roads, bridges, water assets, shelters, libraries, community centres and emergency facilities. The plan, which is headed to the city's Executive Committee next week, reveals that Toronto has managed to reduce the gap from the $26 billion identified in last year's report to $18 billion, representing an $8 billion reduction. According to the city, the $18 billion infrastructure gap is being driven by transit ($11 billion), Toronto Community Housing ($4 billion), the ...

14 h. ago Canadians want to visit Toronto way more than any U.S. cities in 2025

As more Canadians reconsider travel to the U.S. this year, many are choosing to explore domestic getaways and international destinations.California's governor is trying to convince Canadians to travel to the Golden State, which promises beaches, vineyards, and outdoor adventure. It turns out that Canadians are still looking for all those things, but they're just willing to travel within the country or venture further to avoid travelling south of the border.Although some Canadians are still choosing to travel to the U.S., others are looking to explore options near and far. Skyscanner, a travel search aggregator, has just released its latest Smarter Summer Report, detailing how Canadians can plan budget-friendly trips and where they're headed.According to the report, 68 per cent of Canadians are still looking to book their summer holidays, and 76 per cent of adventurous Canadians are “open to lesser-known destinations in exchange for better value.”"It'...

15 h. ago This is how you can rent a TTC streetcar for your next party

Well, I learned something new this morning. While scrolling Reddit, I came across a piece of information I needed to do more research on. According to the post, TTC streetcars can be rented out for full-on parties. Yes, you can cruise around the city, listen to tunes, all with Toronto as your backdrop.In the original Reddit post, the user shared, "We rode all around downtown for four hours covering pretty much every inch of track while some DJ friends played a few sets. Non-alcoholic drinks were available on the streetcar, so we stopped at a few places to get drinks." Uhm – fun!From here, I was hooked and needed to know more. Sure enough, it's all outlined on the TTC's website. Under "Chartering TTC Vehicles," all the details you need on renting a car for your squad can be found. If you'd rather, buses can be rented as well.The passenger capacity was pretty surprising to me, with the TTC allowing 70 seats and 181 st...

15 h. ago Analytics site thinks Toronto Maple Leafs will win Stanley Cup

The Toronto Maple Leafs, by definition, are the closest team to a Stanley Cup right now.Though they're facing a slight advantage over six other NHL teams by being the only second-round series to have gotten underway thus far, the Leafs took one step closer to Lord Stanley's mug on Monday night.Picking up a 5-4 win over the defending Stanley Cup Florida Panthers in Game 1 of a rematch of the 2023 second round, Toronto became the first team this postseason to pick up five wins.And the victory not only moved Toronto closer to winning the series, but actually edged them into Stanley Cup favourites, according to a popular analytics site.By way of MoneyPuck.com's predictive odds for the rest of the postseason, the Leafs now have the NHL's best odds at 17.7 per cent chance of breaking their Stanley Cup curse.Per the MoneyPuck model, Toronto had started the night with 13.9 per cent odds, third in the league behind Florida at 16.3 per cent and Carolina at 14 per cent.The bett...

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...
