1 hour ago Ontario's fall forecast for 2025 has arrived and here's what you can expect

We still have a long way to go before Sept. 22, which marks the official start of fall, but if you're already dreaming of pumpkin spice and cooler days, the Farmers' Almanac Extended Fall Forecast for 2025 has dropped, and Ontario's upcoming season is shaping up to be anything but predictable. So far, Ontario's weather this summer has been a rollercoaster to say the least, with a mix of unseasonably chilly stretches followed by waves of scorching heat, which might have you wondering what fall might bring. According to the long-range forecast, Ontario is expected to start the season on a cool and dry note, but don't get too comfortable.

3 h. ago It's been 10 years since a dead Toronto raccoon captured hearts around the world

Ten years have passed since the famous dead Toronto raccoon incident, where the little critter and its shrine stole our hearts.It was on July 9, 2015, at the corner of Church and Yonge when the little dude, affectionately named Conrad, met his untimely death and became an instant icon in the city's lore.It took a whole 14 hours before the City's animal services came and scooped up the raccoon's lifeless body — and in that time, the internet, the city, and others around the world celebrated his trash panda life and mourned its untimely end.The whole saga started when the City was alerted via Twitter (it was still Twitter back then) that Conrad had met his maker. But as the day passed, poor Conrad's carcass continued to melt in the hot July sun as mourners stopped to pay their respects.The sidewalk memorial is growing, @311Toronto.

Shortly thereafter, her mother followed and, come the 1960s, they opened the first Portuguese business in what would later become known as Little Portugal."It was traditionally Ukrainian, Polish and Jewish, and [my parents] opened up a full-service supermarket with a full butcher shop… and then there was a full fish counter," Kelly tells us. Both the butcher and the fishmonger, on top of everyone who worked at t...
