26 h. ago Travel destinations where your Canadian dollars go further than in the U.S.

Travel has become increasingly more expensive, with the Canadian dollar at lows not seen since 2020, leaving some destinations heavier on the wallet than others.The United States has long been a vacation destination for Canadians, but the trade war has dampened people's interest in travelling south.According to recent data from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, the number of travellers from Canada entering the U.S. dropped by half a million in February 2025 compared to the same time last year."We do see a lot of people looking in different directions, not wanting to travel to the U.S. The U.S. has also lost a little bit of a brand value," Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange President Rahim Madhavji told us. The currency exchange company is based in Toronto.It might be a financially smarter move for Canadians to find other vacation destinations because the loonie won't go far in the U.S. As of Friday, US$1 equals C$1.43, according to foreign exchange tool XE.In addition to paying more d...

27 h. ago Toronto bar known for cheap eats and drinks abruptly closes after 20 years

It's easy as a millennial to feel like the Toronto we once knew and loved is dead and gone — and it wasn't a drawn-out demise, either, but one heralded by a rapid spate of closures of iconic institutions.One more in this long line has just hit the chopping block, its abrupt disappearance leaving a hole along Spadina Avenue (and in our hearts).Red Room is one among a family of bars beloved by students and those of us regulars who have been frequenting them for well over a decade.It was first opened in 2007 as the moodier sibling of Green Room, a legendary, though somewhat seedy place that resided in a back alley off Bloor Street, but ended up having to move when its building was sold in 2017.While fans breathed a collective sigh of relief once it was announced that Green Room had settled into the old Crown & Tiger Space on College Street, the fate of Red Room under the exact same circumstances appears to be, unfortunately, the opposite.The restaurant, lo...
