6 h. ago No one is building condos in Toronto anymore as market hits 20

Almost every piece of data that has emerged about Toronto real estate in the last year-plus has served as a disheartening blow to anyone with a stake in the market, as the city's once-scorching sector has slowed to a crawl — and keeps waning further.The latest analysis, published by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) on Monday, reinforces that the country's new condo market specifically is in a state of deep turmoil, especially in locales like Toronto and Vancouver, where the housing type has long been a boon to investors.The national housing agency says that as of May, housing starts nationwide have fallen slightly from this time last year, mostly driven by "weak condominium market conditions" in both Toronto and Vancouver that have pulled the stats for these hubs down drastically below this national average.The west coast city broke ground on 10 per cent fewer homes over the co...

7 h. ago Massive wine festival celebrating Canada lands in Toronto this summer

A brand-new wine festival exclusively celebrating Canadian wineries is coming to Toronto this summer, with unlimited samples and local eats.While countries like Italy, France and even New Zealand tend to hog the spotlight on the world wine stage, Canada just so happens to be home to some great wineries of its own, and it's only fair that they get their time to shine, too.Enter Elbows Up Coast-to-Coast Wine Fair, which is taking over Fort York this July for one whole day spent saluting the country's best grape growers.Co-opting the hockey phrase made popular by Canadian comedy legend Mike Myers as a response to tariff threats from below the border, the brand-new wine festival was born out of the desire to uplift boozy beverages cultivated on home turf.At the inaugural installment of the festival, you can expect to explore over 25 different wineries based everywhere from B.C.'s Okanagan Valley to Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley and in between.Geary Avenue favourite Para...

8 h. ago Here's what will replace Toronto's first suburban shopping plaza after 70 years

Toronto's first-ever suburban shopping plaza is destined for demolition after over seven decades at the Bathurst and Lawrence intersection.Conceptual plans to redevelop the Lawrence Plaza property at 534 Lawrence Ave W. first emerged earlier this year, and the push to demolish the plaza has since taken a big step forward with the submission of a formal planning application with the City of Toronto.Developer RioCan has entered into a joint venture with property owner the Milestone Group with hopes to transform the site — which has hosted a shopping centre since 1953 — into a new mixed-use community that would introduce significant residential density while preserving the site's importance as a retail centre.The project team announced in March that it has begun working on a "vision to reimagine Lawrence Plaza as a vibrant mixed-use community that celebrates its history and context."Locals got their first glimpse at preliminary concept plans for the redeve...

10 h. ago Jagmeet Singh and Drake's tense new beef has fans bewildered

With all of the economic and other stresses facing Canadians right now, it's no wonder that so many are turning to an unexpected altercation between arguably our most famous celebrity and a once-popular politician for a little levity and entertainment this week.Even if Drake has had a bit of a fall from grace amid his ongoing feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar, he still stands as one of the most recognized exports from Toronto and Canada as a whole, serving as a walking advertisement for his hometown as he makes regular references to the city in his music.So, Lamar stopping in the 6ix on his latest tour while the two are so at odds could be seen as a bit of a slap in the face — and, Drake seems to think that the same can be said for anyone who attended one of his Compton-born adversary's shows, which took place at the Rogers Centre this past Thursday, June 12 and Friday, June 13.Among those atten...
