2 h. ago Restaurants in Toronto left with no choice but to raise prices amid skyrocketing inflation

Several popular Toronto restaurants have been left with no choice but to raise their prices as inflation continues to swell.The non-stop rise of food costs is a reality that people across Canada have grown accustomed to over the past few years. That's not to say we're happy about it, but it's just the way it is — kind of like accepting the fact that the Leafs will, inevitably, let us down each hockey season.Still, many restaurants across the city, particularly independents, have tried their best to keep costs for their diners low, understanding that we're all feeling the pinch these days, and believing that skyrocketing supply costs shouldn't get in the way of your ability to eat great food.A noble quest, indeed.

That they would latch on to the croissant pi...

The largest U.S. border crossing in Canada is gearing up to open in Ontario, though, despite construction now passing the finish line, nobody has any clue when they will be able to finally use it.The Gordie Howe International Bridge now stands proud over the Detroit River, soon to provide a direct link between Ontario's Highway 401 and Michigan's I-75 and close a longstanding missing link in the busy international shipping corridor.New photos and video captured in October show that the bridge and points of entry on either side of the border are all but complete. Work on the 2.5-kilometre-long bridge commenced seven years ago with an anticipated Nov. 2024 completion and Dec. 2024 opening. This target was later adjusted to a vague Fall 2025 completion and a complete blackout on any potential opening dates.An opening date for the new $6.4 billion crossing has not been announced as of mid-October.Though construction appears all but complete, a damning report released earlie...
