3 d. ago New Toronto ferry terminal promised for years keeps getting more expensive

Toronto residents may know not to hold their breaths for major local infrastructure projects to reach completion in a timely fashion, but with the warmer months quickly approaching, there is one upgrade that is likely top of mind.No T.O. summer is complete without a trip to the Toronto Islands, which in recent years has unfortunately meant braving overcrowding and hours-long lineups for one of our five ferries that are quickly aging out of service.The City has been working to replace the vessels — at times rendered completely out of commission during busy weekend rushes — with a new electric fleet for years now, with the first boat due in late 2026.But, the project has come with the exorbitant cost increases and delays we've sadly come to expect from such proposals, including a staggering $67 million jump in price for the watercraft and millions more for the retrofits on land, i...

1 week ago Liberal voters directed to wrong polling station in battleground Toronto riding

Liberal voters in one of Toronto's most hotly-contested battleground ridings were mistakenly directed to the wrong station in what could prove a costly election day fumble.A voter in midtown Toronto's Eglinton—Lawrence riding reported that homes on their block were issued flyers on behalf of Liberal candidate Vince Gasparro in the morning hours after the polls opened.The flyer directed voters from at least one Glencairn Avenue address, and possibly other streets, to cast their ballots at John Wanless Public School, contradicting voter information cards specifying the correct location of Glenview Senior Public School.Luckily, the voters who reported this discrepancy had already cast their ballots by the time the flyer arrived on their doorsteps, but it raises questions of just how widespread this error was.A representative from Gasparro's campaign confirmed the report to blogTO, explaining that "after some investigation, it looks like a...
