26 h. ago Toronto's weed fair is back next month but last year's drama lingers

Toronto's KIND Summer Fair is returning to the city from August 12 to 13, 2025 — but not everyone is lighting up with excitement.While the annual cannabis celebration promises "immersive brand experiences," live music, and networking opportunities, many Toronto weed lovers haven't forgotten how last year's fair left a bad taste in their mouths — and not the kind that edibles are supposed to deliver.For a festival that claims to be Canada's leading cannabis event, 2024's winter edition left many attendees feeling burnt out, ripped off, and ignored. "If I wanted to be in a mosh pit, I would've went to a metal concert like I did earlier in the month, not at a cannabis event," said one frustrated attendee after last year’s fair."They need to issue some sort of statement and, if they don't, it says a LOT." Complaints ranged from overcrowding and poor organization to bad vibes from st...

After years of construction, delays, and anticipation, Toronto's Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) line (also known as Line 6) is finally entering its home stretch, although one key detail, namely its opening date, remains a mystery. The 11-kilometre, 18-stop transit line, which will run on Finch from Keele Street to Highway 27 and Humber College's north campus, has been technically complete since September 2024, however, riders are still anxiously waiting for service to begin nearly a year later.With construction beginning in 2019, the Finch West LRT managed to avoid the same level of delay that has plagued its notorious sibling, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, which is still not operating nearly 14 years after breaking ground. Back in September, the provincial government announced that the Finch West LRT's stops and infrastructure were complete, and that the final touches, including signal activation, pedestrian access, and station finishing, were all prog...
