24 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...

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.

48 h. ago Quaint little Ontario town boasts charming main street and picturesque waterfall

Small towns are a significant part of Ontario's charm, especially quaint gems like Fenelon Falls, a village that feels a world away from big-city life, just waiting to be explored. It's the place of small-town dreams, and nowhere like you've visited before. Fenelon Falls can be described as a varied mix of all things you'd like to find in a town like this, full of unique restaurants, shops and cottages to rent along the water. Nicknamed the "Jewel of the Kawarthas," it has a population of around 2,500 people and is mainly known as a tourist town — mostly active in the peak summer cottagegoer season, but you can find trails offering beautiful fall colours in the autumn too. But the best part of this place is right in the middle of all the action: part of its namesake is inspired by a waterfall that runs through the heart of the town. Though nowhere near the stature of major waterfalls elsewhere in the province, Fenelon Falls can...

Instead, it left her feeling the effects that many empty-nesters experience after their last child lea...
