21 h. ago $3 million Toronto unit could change your idea of basement apartments

Anyone who has been apartment hunting knows the general rule, avoid basement apartments at all costs. Unless, of course, you're out of options. No one really wants to live in a basement apartment. They have a reputation of being dark, damp, and generally kinda depressing. However, 1-15 Scarth Rd. might just defy all the stereotypes of basement dwellings. Located in a century-old Victorian home in Rosedale that was renovated back in 2018, this is not your average basement unit. The main living areas. This unit is just one of four units in the historic home and boasts an impressive 3,000 square feet of living space. A breakfast nook. Perhaps more impressive is how light-filled and beautiful this unit is despite being mostly below ground. A living room with tons of light. Thanks to the large windows and skylights, this split-level unit is bright, warm and sophisticated with wide plank engineered wood floors throughout. Exposed brick det...

45 h. ago Iconic art that's been on display at Toronto subway station for decades is moving

For the first time in 47 years, a legendary piece of art that's called Spadina subway station home for decades is set to be displayed at a Toronto museum as part of a larger exhibition celebrating the work of renowned Canadian artist Joyce Wieland. In the mid-1970s, as the TTC was planning to expand its network with nine new subway stops stretching out of the downtown core, it commissioned several artists to create artwork for the upcoming transit stops, including Wieland. Recognized globally as one of the leading Canadian contemporary artists of the 20th century, Wieland's artwork "Barren Ground Caribou" continued the ecological themes in her work. The nostalgic quilt, which consists of layers of cotton fabric stuffed with synthetic batting, has been a fixture at the station's Kendal Avenue entry since it was unveiled in 1978. In 1975, Wieland said that the quilt "expresses aspects of the public's growing awareness of their environment and its preservation,...

While it might seem normal to get texts asking about voting preferences during an election, Canadians should be wary of messages from unknown senders and do a little research before responding — or don't reply at all.Earlier this month, I received a text from "Lily"  claiming to be with ERG National Research and conducting a poll about voting preferences in the upcoming election.The message seemed innocent enough and there wasn't anything particularly unusual about it.Jonathan Lamont/MobileSyrupDespite the message looking innocent, I decided to look up ERG National Research online before responding.
