52 h. ago Condo fees are spiking in Toronto and here's where they are the worst

For those who have enough capital to drop the ridiculous chunk of change necessary to get into Toronto's real estate market, even the least expensive properties don't come cheap, and the costs continue to add up far after purchase.On top of mortgage payments — which amount to more than $3,000 a month for the typically-priced unit in the GTA after a 20 per cent down payment — along with newly-increased property taxes and certain utilities, there are also condo maintenance fees, which have been rising sharply in the city.Depending on the size of your unit and what building you're in, this one monthly bill on its own can nearly rival rent prices, and for small landlords, can thus make it impossible to break even (let alone make a profit) when mortgage rates are high and average rents are down.A study by local real estate agency Wahi revealed which complexes in the city are currently the worst culprit...

57 h. ago U.S. trade war has Ontario business owners' confidence at historic lows

Ontario small business owners are bracing for the worst amid some of the most uncertain economic times the province has ever faced.Canada's most populous province is expected to be one of the hardest hit by a tariff war with the U.S., and confidence among small business owners in Ontario has plummeted to historic lows.The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB)'s Business Barometer long-term index took a total nosedive in March, with the small business confidence indicator dropping 24.8 index points to an all-time low of 25 nationwide.To put this sharp decline into perspective, this figure represents lower levels of small business owners' confidence than any point recorded during the pandemic years in the early 2020s, the 2008 financial crisis, or even in the wake of the September 11 attacks in 2001.CFIB"Small business owners are feeling pessimistic about their business's perspectives for the next few months or even beyond. It's hard to make critical decisions for the lon...

3 d. ago Wayne Gretzky wine is under attack again at a different Toronto store

It seems an increasing number of Canadians are turning on Wayne Gretzky under the notion that he has, in many ways, turned on us by remaining cozy with tariff-wielding Donald Trump.Ever since being spotted sporting a MAGA hat while attending the U.S. President's election party in the fall, the former hockey player and national icon has been losing favour left, right and, yes, centre.Fans are now symbolically disposing of their Gretzky memorabilia and, most recently, boycotting the star's line of wines in various small ways.One hilarious miscreant swapped the labels for all Wayne Gretzky Estates Winery & Distillery products at their local Toronto LCBO, deeming the brand's varieties "sad & two-faced" and "weak & backstabbery" via rewritten taste profiles. (The retailer denied it ever happened, for the record, despite photo evidence.)Now, another resident apparently disappointed by Gretzky's social ties to a politician inten...
