This current spring-like weather may have residents of Toronto already dreaming about all of their summer plans, which, for many, will include at least one trip to the islands to enjoy some sand, sun and swimming in one of the city's largest parks and top warm-weather attractions. Unfortunately, the best weekends for heading to the islands are more often than not marred by the onerous task of actually getting to the archipelago — which should actually be easier this summer for multiple reasons.Seemingly every time in recent memory that a beautiful long weekend has come around, sticky, frustrated masses are left lining up for hours to board one of the City's decades-old ferries, which are progressively more prone to mechanical issues and breakdowns.Along with contemplating a potential bridge to get people across the harbour, the City signed on to invest $135 million in new electric watercraft and associated retrofits to our exis...

1 hour ago Canadian Olympians are being paid far less than U.S. athletes

American athletes who compete in the Olympics moving forward will receive significantly more money than their rival Canadian competitors.While competing in the Olympics is a huge honour for all athletes, the money they earn isn't as much as you would expect. In fact, many wind up working other jobs in order to afford all the costs of being such a high-level athlete, such as training and nutrition.However, thanks to a $100-million donation from philanthropist Ross Stevens, there won't be nearly as much financial stress for American athletes.Going forward, U.S. representatives at both the Olympics and Paralympics will receive at least $200,000 in post-retirement benefits."The Olympic and Paralympic Games are the ultimate symbol of human excellence. I do not believe that financial insecurity should stop our nation's elite athletes from breaking through to new frontiers of excellence," said Stevens."Team USA athletes, extraordinary individuals, have proven they can achieve greatness and...
