51 m. ago Liberal voters directed to wrong polling station in battleground Toronto riding

Liberal voters in one of Toronto's most hotly-contested battleground ridings were mistakenly directed to the wrong station in what could prove a costly election day fumble.A voter in midtown Toronto's Eglinton—Lawrence riding reported that homes on their block were issued flyers on behalf of Liberal candidate Vince Gasparro in the morning hours after the polls opened.The flyer directed voters from at least one Glencairn Avenue address, and possibly other streets, to cast their ballots at John Wanless Public School, contradicting voter information cards specifying the correct location of Glenview Senior Public School.Luckily, the voters who reported this discrepancy had already cast their ballots by the time the flyer arrived on their doorsteps, but it raises questions of just how widespread this error was.A representative from Gasparro's campaign confirmed the report to blogTO, explaining that "after some investigation, it looks like a...

2 h. ago Alleged drunk Ontario driver clocked at 200km/h says he was 'late for work'

Times have been pretty darn tough in Ontario, between the present economic recession and sky-high unemployment rates, an ongoing trade war and long-running cost of living crisis, a growing socio-political divide and general lack of faith in various levels of government — need we go on?But even if it feels like it's all been more than enough to make us all collectively lose our cool or lean into our vices, there's no excuse or explanation for what one Toronto resident was caught doing behind the wheel this weekend.Putting both themselves and the public in grave danger in the process, an unnamed 25-year-old was pulled over by Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) on Sunday morning after they were clocked going a whopping 200 km/h — which is double the posted limit — along Highway 407.Upon pulling the vehicle over, though, officers discovered that the serious speeding was only the beginning of the motorist's...

4 h. ago Toronto Maple Leafs' biggest star conspicuously absent from practice ahead of huge game

The Toronto Maple Leafs were without their biggest star at Monday morning's practice.Though the Leafs are officially citing "rest" as the reason for his absence, Auston Matthews raised a few eyebrows by sitting out of the team's skate one day ahead of Tuesday’s Game 5 at Scotiabank Arena.Matthews' absence does at least raise a few preliminary questions about whether he's operating at full health, or perhaps dealing with a lingering issue.Given that the Leafs took Sunday off following a 4-3 overtime loss on Saturday to give the Ottawa Senators their first win of the series, it is a bit curious that Matthews needs a rest day.With NHL teams being notoriously tight-lipped about player health status, particularly in the playoffs, we likely won't get a good answer as to what exactly is going on with Toronto's captain.Matthews has one goal and four assists in four games so far for the Leafs.A year removed from a franchise-record settin...

4 h. ago Toronto woman hosting 'group scream' at local park for people to let it all out

If you're feeling stressed lately, forget screaming into your pillow, because a Toronto artist is inviting you to unleash your rage, sorrow, or stress in the open with hundreds of others as part of a local "group scream."On Saturday, May 3, Trinity Bellwoods Park will echo with more than just bird chirping and weekend chatter thanks to Grace Turner, the voice behind the music project City Builders. The group scream is set to be a communal release of collective frustration, heartbreak, and maybe even a little bit of joy.The scream-along comes just before Turner's debut single, "Learning to Miss You," which drops on May 6. The song is, in Turner's words, "emotional" and "gut-wrenching," and is a raw ballad born from the pain of a recent breakup.Turner announced the group scream on her social media channels, thinking that others might also be in need of a good scream, and turns out she was right.@wearecitybuilders You h...
