Despite an ongoing friendly rivalry while competing for largely the same audience, Sportsnet and TSN workers came together on Thursday to send their best to one of their colleagues.Employees of both networks sent their well wishes to Arash Madani after he was let go by Sportsnet after 16 years with the network.Madani announced the news Thursday in an emotional social media post."It's not lost on me that a first-generation Canadian from Truro, N.S., was able to live out his dream. Maybe what meant most over the years were the number of Maritimers and those of Middle Eastern descent who would stop to tell me they appreciated how I represented them when they'd see me on air. The biggest lessons I've learned here: You never know the impact you can have on those around you," Madani wrote.Sportsnet's Jamie Campbell, who worked with Madani frequently on Toronto Blue Jays broadcasts, was one of the first to post a tribute to his departing colleague."Unparalleled in his craft and a top-...

12 h. ago Trendy cannabis brand appears to have shut down all Toronto locations

A line of cannabis dispensaries that made a big splash across Ontario appears to be going the way of the dodo, with all locations in the province but one closing down for good.Could it be? The dispensary boom that's made Toronto the butt of wide-spread jokes over the years (which we laughed along with, because, when there's a dispensary every 200 metres, you find yourself laughing a lot for whatever reason,) is finally coming to an end?Well, not exactly.When cannabis was finally legalized in Canada back in 2018, it took infinite patience and a healthy amount of tongue-holding to convince my parents that the good-old devil's lettuce isn't bad or evil, and that the people who use it aren't (exclusively) grubby hippies. Not that there's anything wrong with being a grubby hippie anyway.It wasn't until strolling through Rosedale one day that my mom and I stumbled upon Ottawa-based dispensary chain Superette's first Toronto location that her eyes were opened to a whole new image...
