8 h. ago There are 4 places in the GTA that cost more to live in than Toronto

When it comes to the cost of living in Canada, Toronto often takes the spotlight as one of the priciest places to call home. With its bustling downtown core, soaring condo prices, and ever-rising rent, it's no surprise many assume it tops the charts for affordability challenges, but this isn't quite the case. One would be forgiven for thinking that Toronto is the most expensive city in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), but other cities in the region regularly top the 416 in average cost of living. A recent MoneySense report reveals four cities that surpass Toronto among the most expensive places to live in the GTA, and a couple of them don't come as a huge surprise to anyone paying attention to regional home prices and the increase in living costs. Richmond HillAn aerial view of a residential street in Richmond Hill.

32 h. ago Detached Toronto house is under $500,000 but there's a catch

Attention, brave souls of the Toronto real estate world: a detached house on Rhodes Ave. E. has magically appeared on the market for under $500,000. Yes, under.Of course, it's a bit of a mess. We're talking a bed in the dining room, particle board–covered windows, missing ceilings, and a basement that adults and children alike would be scared to enter.But according to the listing, it's got "potential", you just need to look past the chaos to see it. What was once probably the dining room. You'll definitely need a strong stomach and positive attitude to navigate the "needs TLC" part.The one and only bathroom that is missing part of the ceiling. From the photos, there's a lot of work to be done if you're going to keep the original structure. An air-conditioning unit is balanced over the stairs. But if you dream of being a handyman, a builder, or a renovator with a boat load of optimism, this could be a gre...

45 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...
