The highly anticipated St. Lawrence Market North Building officially opened its doors for its first farmers' market on Saturday, and here's a look inside the futuristic, $128 million redevelopment. Mayor Olivia Chow and Councillor Chris Moise joined crowds of morning shoppers who were invited to explore the building's ground-floor, open-concept Market Hall for the very first time. The multi-use, five-storey building was designed by RSHP, and features a glass and orange metal exterior, a skylit atrium, blue-painted steel walkways, and orange pedestrian bridges. The brand new building — which has been under construction since 2016 — brought back the 200-year-old market indoors for the first time in nearly a decade. While it was revitalized, the Saturday market continued to operate from a tent behind the St. Lawrence Market Complex's brick south building on The Esplanade. @blogto After 25 years, St. Lawrence Market’s farmer...

8 h. ago Canadian man locked out of $43K in PC Optimum points by Loblaws

A new report shines a light on a Loblaws shopper who recently had $43,000 worth of PC Optimum points frozen in his account before he could spend them.Frank Zhang has saved 43 million PC Optimum points over his lifetime by shopping at Loblaws stores and using a PC Mastercard, but he was quite shocked when he tried to redeem his points in January and found his account locked.According to a CBC Go Public report, the automated online help tool initially told him his account was frozen and that he needed to change his password to unlock it. That didn't resolve his issue, so Zhang called the helpline instead and was met with a different answer. The person on the phone told him that he'd broken the PC Optimum terms and conditions, but they refused to say which rule specifically led to his account being frozen.A Calgary man named Jeff Mack suffered the same issue after having his 1.5 million points ($1,500) frozen last fall. At least the support channel told him his account was di...
