54 m. ago Toronto's island ferry service set to finally get better this year

This current spring-like weather may have residents of Toronto already dreaming about all of their summer plans, which, for many, will include at least one trip to the islands to enjoy some sand, sun and swimming in one of the city's largest parks and top warm-weather attractions. Unfortunately, the best weekends for heading to the islands are more often than not marred by the onerous task of actually getting to the archipelago — which should actually be easier this summer for multiple reasons.Seemingly every time in recent memory that a beautiful long weekend has come around, sticky, frustrated masses are left lining up for hours to board one of the City's decades-old ferries, which are progressively more prone to mechanical issues and breakdowns.Along with contemplating a potential bridge to get people across the harbour, the City signed on to invest $135 million in new electric watercraft and associated retrofits to our exis...

Understandable, of course, given the country's complex colonial history and more renewed efforts in recent years to work towards Truth and Reconciliation.Nothing brings people together quite like a common enemy, though, and who better than Donald Trump, with his tariff threats and "51st state" jokes, to fill the role?As of February 2025, roughly two months ...
