13 h. ago People in Ontario getting sick of tipping 'just because someone did their job'

Though people in Ontario will always have differing opinions on how much you should tip, the landscape has changed drastically since the lower pay for hospitality workers was nixed in favour of one standard minimum wage across industries provincewide in 2022, effectively removing the reason for tipping in the first place.As the rising cost of living continues to squeeze wallets across the country, the topic of tipping has become more controversial, with many criticizing skyrocketing tipping prompts across not just bars and restaurants, but cafes, fast food chains, some stores and even online retailers.(This writer has even been prompted to tip for a car battery replacement from CAA, with a 20 per cent tipping suggestion on an over $400 service that took the contractor about 15 minutes to complete.)There is a fair proportion of people who seem to want the practice — which is unique to the U.S. and Canada, and rare pretty much everywhere else in the...

13 h. ago The complete history of the famous fake mountain at Canada's Wonderland

The hulking artificial mountain at the heart of Canada's Wonderland hasn't always been bristling with coasters, growing from humble origins as a park centrepiece on opening day in 1981 into the ride-laden massif that exists today. Standing over 45 metres above Wonderland's International Street (but looking considerably taller thanks to the magic of forced perspective), Wonder Mountain has always served as the park's visual icon, and various attempts have been made over the decades to incorporate coasters into Wonderland's central magnet — for better or worse.Here's the complete history of the famous fake mountain that serves as a backdrop for countless Ontario childhood memories.Ontario could have had its own Eiffel TowerCanada's Wonderland was built to similar specifications as sister parks Kings Island and Kings Dominion.

13 h. ago That time Toronto's popular wetland park was just a giant hole in the ground

Nothing beats a day spent at Toronto's Evergreen Brick Works, complete with hiking trails, beautiful ravines, a boardwalk around wetlands, and even a Saturday farmers' market. With over half a million visitors per year, the site blends a historic relic of Toronto's industrial heritage with a green, urban landscape beloved by anyone who sets foot in it. But before this old brick factory was turned evergreen, the site was just a massive hole in the ground. Evergreen Brick Works is the site of extensive geological history. Photo: Canoo On the surface, the former site looked like a whole lot of nothing: but looking closer, it proved to be important to understanding geological eras. According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, the quarry that was eventually dug out on the site contains mud and stone that point to millions of years of its history. There are layers upon layers of rock that showcase how Toronto has undergone significant geological changes....
