2 h. ago Canadian families with kids will get some money from the government this week

Money is on its way to eligible Canadian families who will receive another monthly payment of the child tax benefit this week.The eighth instalment of the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) will be deposited on Wednesday, Aug. 20.The child tax payment increased in July, marking the beginning of the new benefit year.

3 h. ago Average rents in Ontario are plunging fast and here's where they're declining most

As exceedingly unaffordable as Toronto is reputed to be, now is actually one of the cheaper times to live in the city, at least when it comes to housing costs.The region's real estate values and rent prices have plummeted markedly over the last year, pushing property owners looking to sell and landlords searching for tenants to new levels of desperation.The latest survey of the landscape shows that the standard GTA home is now selling for 5.5 per cent less than this time last year (when prices were already on the decline). Condos are bearing the brunt of the downturn, seeing a 9.3 per cent year-over-year deterioration in sale price.And, the turmoil is extending to rentals, the prices for which, per the latest stats, have decreased by double-digit percentages since this time in 2024.Listing site Zumper, which regularly assesses price points for apartments across the country, says in its latest report that the median monthly cost of a one-bedroom...

3 h. ago Edits to Toronto Blue Jays starting rotation have some fans up in arms

A change to the Toronto Blue Jays' starting rotation on Wednesday morning is generating plenty of conversation.With Shane Bieber set to make his Blue Jays debut on Friday, John Schneider needed to decide on whether to go with a six-man rotation moving forward or move one of his starters to the bullpen.That decision has now been made, as Schneider confirmed this morning that Eric Lauer will be headed to the pen to make room for the Jays' new acquisition.This is somewhat of a controversial decision given that Lauer has arguably been the Jays' best starter this season. Signed to a minor-league contract in December, Lauer was called up from Triple-A Buffalo in late April and has been excellent ever since. In 14 starts and 20 appearances overall, he’s put up an impressive 2.76 ERA with 87 strikeouts through 88 innings.Given how well he's pitched, there are many fans who have voiced their confusion and even frustration over the decision. That said...
