Freshly finished and not yet surrounded by condos.A lot has changed in the last 50 years — but step inside this three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow, and it feels like time hit pause somewhere around the era of disco and Tang.The dining room. There's muted linoleum flooring in nearly every room, honey oak trim throughout, and original millwork galore.The foyer. Miraculously, no popcorn ceilings — so, you win some, you lose some.The kitchen. In short, this place is going to need some updating.The family room with exposed brick walls. But if you can look past the aggressively '70s aesthetic, 13 Cliff St. has a lot going for it.The basement kitchen. For starters, it sits on a rare double lot and boasts a finished basement with a separate entrance, second...

While much headway has been made toward opening Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT in September as expected, it's starting to look like the 13.5-year-long project may be delayed even further as we get closer to the fall.The regional transit agency's move to hand the line over to the TTC two weeks ago was generally considered an indication that locals were finally on the verge of getting to ride the problem-plagued line, which was initially scheduled to launch in 2020.Prior to that big announcement, signage had already appeared along Eglinton explaining that bus stops were being "updated in preparation for" the LRT's inauguration, and TTC staff were re-deployed and re-trained along the route.Though internal budgets anticipated a summer 2025 debut, anonymous sources recently cited a September 2025 opening, though with the caveat that "an eleventh-hour problem" during ...

3 d. ago Huge spike in Europeans wanting to visit Ontario amid decline in U.S. tourism

Thinking of your next summer getaway? You might already be living in it. According to a new study by the Europe Pulse Study from Context Research Group, Ontario is a top destination choice for European travellers. The study showed that more than half of European travellers are considering a trip to Ontario, with a strong appeal in visiting Toronto, thanks, in part, to the city's upcoming role as one of the host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Eighty-seven percent also say that Canada, as a country, is appealing enough to visit on its own, rather than as a side trip to the U.S. If you're trying to grasp why that might be, the study also showed that, amid the tense political climate in the U.S., 62 per cent of European travellers are wary of visiting the States, making Canada an even more attractive getaway. Destination Ontario, along with Destination Toronto, commissioned the study to gain a deeper understanding of how global events are influe...
