37 h. ago Photographer captures most Toronto moment as pigeon takes over TIFF red carpet

Among all of the famous faces in town for the 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), one unlikely character has managed to completely steal the show on at least one of the distinguished event's red carpets: a local pigeon.Though not the official animal mascots of the city, our common pigeons come in close second, regularly and belovedly anthropomorphized as they tactfully ride our transit, steal our food, and befriend their fellow residents (or even serve as pets).Unfortunately, they're often misrepresented and misunderstood, considered by some to be little more than dirty pests. But one member of the Columbidae family took it upon themselves to buck that reputation this week and try their hand at the high life at a posh, star-studded premiere.If you've been following this year's TIFF happenings on social media, you may have seen the speck...

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is all about glitzy red carpets, celebrity appearances and, of course, the latest and greatest in cinema.And while the most recent headline-worthy happening out of the annual 11-day fete does involve a famous person, it is not exactly in line with the glamour that the esteemed event usually brings to mind.James McAvoy, who is here for the world premiere of his new flick, California Schemin', decided, like many other big names who are in the city this week, to head out and enjoy some of the local nightlife.Unfortunately, what was intended to be a low-key Monday evening at divey King Street pool hall Charlotte's Room didn't go as planned — in fact, it went quite awry, although the actor-turned-director apparently handled it with grace.As People first reported, a thoroughly intoxicated patron who was not a part of McAvoy's group randomly attacked the Split st...

5 d. ago See the moment Toronto flight's landing gear collapsed touching down in St. Maarten

Multiple videos shared on social media over the weekend show the shocking moment a WestJet flight out of Toronto made a hard landing in St. Maarten, a tropical destination located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon at the island's Princess Juliana International Airport and involved a WestJet Boeing 737-800 aircraft, operating as flight WS2276 from Toronto Pearson Airport. Videos taken from several angles show the aircraft made a hard landing at 1:31 p.m., resulting in a small cloud of smoke on the runway. The airport confirmed that despite 164 passengers being onboard, no injuries were reported, although three people were taken for medical evaluation out of an abundance of caution. Today a WestJet B-737 had a right main landing gear collapse while landing at St. Marteen.
