4 h. ago Divisive Toronto bus lanes shortened but not for the reason you think

There's one proposed road change that has been kicking up more controversy in Toronto lately than even cycling paths and construction-related closures: bus lanes.As part of its RapidTO project to prioritize the flow of transit vehicles, the City revealed plans for TTC-only lanes on Bathurst and Dufferin streets, two thoroughfares that, like most major roads in Toronto, are perpetually backed up with traffic.While the dedicated lanes were recommended in light of the congestion that will inevitably come from the upcoming FIFA World Cup — for which we are hosting six matches at BMO Field next summer — they are something some residents have been requesting, at least on Dufferin, for years.However, those who have gone to considerable lengths to advocate for the additions have now been met with equally strong dissent from locals, many of whom are business owners, who argue that the on-street parking that would be...

5 h. ago International bakery chain known for healthy cake opening first Toronto location

An international bakery chain known for what it calls "healthy" versions of classic treats is about to open its first-ever Canadian location in Toronto.You may assume that ingredients like sugar, gluten, and dairy are integral pillars for almost any baked good, and, most of the time, you'd be right. However, one European bakery chain that's about to make its Canadian debut is on a mission to prove that you can have sweet treats that still hit the spot without any of those things.We'll be the judges of that.Landing on Bloor West this summer by way of Poland is FitCake, a chain that touts itself as "the first and largest non-pastry shop in the world," and currently boasts nine locations in Poland, with an additional presence in Austria, Sweden, Spain, and Malta.So, what makes the cakes so "fit"? The bakery (or, non-pastry shop, if you prefer) is completely sugar-free, lactose-free, gluten-free, and vegan, but, if its rapid expansion across Europe can be used as any indi...
