61 h. ago Hard loft meets cabin vibes in this unconventional $4.5 million Ontario house

It's rare for a listing to outright say that a property might not be "right" for a buyer.Generally, sales strategies are employed to maximize the potential buyer pool, not minimize it. But 55 Chisholm St. is a very unconventional home, so when Engelbrecht Associates say "this is not a property for everyone," it kind of makes sense. The main floor. Located in West Harbour in Oakville, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom house is a bold mix of industrial design and the cozy charm of a Muskoka cottage. The dining room. You have a soapstone fireplace mixed with polished concrete floors juxtaposed with a hyper-modern bright blue Scavolini kitchen. It shouldn't work, but somehow it does. The living room. The main floor of the house is an open concept space, where every room flows together. The fireplace. At the heart of the space is the soapstone fireplace that is reminicent of Swedish tile hearths that are used to heat homes, as t...

3 d. ago Parasitic vampire fish could spread out of control in Ontario

The Great Lakes fishery is facing a significant crisis that could have far-reaching consequences for both the environment and economy of Michigan and Ontario, due to the potential of an invasive species to spiral out of control. The recent wave of government layoffs and budget cuts under the Trump administration has led to a severe blow to conservation programs aimed at controlling sea lampreys, a parasitic fish that is native to the Atlantic Ocean. The cuts come amid a larger federal government downsizing effort, which has led thousands of workers across several agencies to lose their jobs. Experts warn that without proper mitigation efforts, the sea lamprey population could explode, which could devastate the region's $7 billion fishing industry. Sea lampreys, which resemble eels but are not related, are parasitic creatures that attach to fish with their oral sucking disks filled with sharp, horn-shaped teeth and a razor-sharp rasping tongue.Once ...
