5 h. ago This Toronto home for sale hasn't changed hands for half a century

The last time 13 Cliff St. was up for sale, it was 1975.Canada had just switched to the metric system. Wearing a seatbelt had only recently become law in Ontario. And the CN Tower? 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...

5 h. ago These Ontario beaches are like a Caribbean getaway right in your backyard

Ontario isn't exactly a destination for tropical beaches, but if you search close enough, there are a few locations in the province that can (almost) make you feel like you've been transported to far-off vacation getaways.Tropical escapes sound far-fetched for a part of the world known for harsh winters, but it's true. In fact, just a few hours outside of Toronto, you can find picturesque beaches that boast serene views of crystal-blue waters and offer warm sandy landscapes that rival some destinations down south.The best part is that you only need three things: transportation, your swimsuit, and probably some sunscreen.So, if you're looking for a staycation getaway but don't want to stray far from home, consider some of these beaches for your next summer adventure. Port Dover Perhaps the most tropical of them all, the beachfront in Port Dover appears to have been imported straight from a Caribbean island. That's&n...

15 h. ago Yankees announcer has made an enemy of Toronto Blue Jays fans

New York Yankees announcer Michael Kay might be regretting stirring up the Toronto Blue Jays fans — and one of his cross-border colleagues — this week.It all started earlier this week when Kay, the longtime voice of the Yankees for YES Network, took to his radio show to discuss the Blue Jays beating New York 12-5 on Canada Day at the Rogers Centre."The Blue Jays are not a first-place team, I'm sorry." Kay said. "If you look at the run differential, the Yankees' run differential is +105. The Blue Jays, after their 12-5 win, finally got into the positive yesterday, they're +4. Do you realize that they should be a .500 team?"How do people genuinely listen to this idiot, man pic.twitter.com/lcrLAnymQd— mj (@Hockey_Is_All) July 2, 2025At the time, the Jays were one game back of the Yankees for first place in the American League East. While they've not blown out their opponents in nearly as many games as the Yankees, a strong record in...
