4 h. ago Canada could play against Italy in Toronto at FIFA World Cup

It turns out that Canada does not yet know its FIFA World Cup opponent for their first-ever match on home soil.But on June 12, 2026, Canada has a shot at taking on one of the most successful soccer countries of all time.Canada knows it will play Qatar and Switzerland in its final two group-stage matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with both games taking place in Vancouver.In Toronto, though, they await one of four opponents for their opening match of the tournament: Italy, Northern Ireland, Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina.And while they've missed out on the last two World Cups, it seems hard to say the Italian side is anything other than the team Canada would least like to see coming out of the final round of European qualifying.Italy is ranked 12th in the FIFA World Rankings, and is a four-time winner of the FIFA World Cup, one of only three countries to win at least that many times. Wales is ranked 32nd, Northern Ireland is ranked 69th, while Bosnia and Herzegovina are ranked ...

7 h. ago Toronto's first pet funeral home offers unique way to say goodbye

On top of the agonizing, can't-eat, can't-sleep grief that comes with losing a beloved pet, trying to navigate the next steps only deepens the sorrow. A newly opened pet funeral home, the first in Toronto, hopes to guide owners through their final goodbyes.At 115 Berkley St. in Moss Park is where you can find Tails Farewell's newest location – second to the one they first opened in Markham back in September 2024. Co-owner Jason Lau tells blogTO that the Markham space only has one memorial room, which limits the number of families they can serve. Now, with their new downtown location, they have more rooms to accommodate more people planning pet funerals.So far, Lau says, Tails Farewell has supported more than 500 pet families, including a virtual memorial for a 2-year-old python and a funeral for an 80-year-old woman's bunny, who we're certain lived a hoppy life. "Our goal is to create a warm and peaceful environment so families, esp...

21 h. ago Toronto Raptors just ended LeBron James' most unbreakable NBA streak

If you were lucky enough to be in attendance for the Toronto Raptors game against the Los Angeles Lakers game on Thursday night, it turns out that you were witnessing NBA history.Not only was it potentially LeBron James’ last-ever game playing at Scotiabank Arena, but it was actually historic for another reason for the four-time NBA MVP and NBA’s all-time leading scorer.James was held to just eight points on the night, one of the rarest feats of his legendary career.The last time James didn’t score at least 10 points in a regular season game was nearly 19 years ago – against the Milwaukee Bucks on January 5, 2007.That’s a streak of 1,297 games in a row, 431 more than Michael Jordan’s mark of 866, which sits second in NBA history.But the streak ended for a pretty decent reason for the Lakers’ side of things – James wasn’t exactly having his best shooting night, and opted to pass the ball to teammate Rui Hachimura on an eventual bu...
