8 h. ago Major TTC subway outage planned for this weekend and there won't be shuttle buses

TTC subway closures this weekend include a key stretch of the network scheduled to shut down for a full day, marking the fourth consecutive weekend with a major planned disruption to transit service. The TTC has announced that it will close a stretch of the Line 1 Yonge–University between St George and St Andrew stations on Saturday, Nov. 22, due to ongoing station work.As with previous closures on this portion of Line 1, the TTC has opted not to run replacement shuttle buses during the closure, instead expecting commuters to rely on surface transit to connect with the nearby Yonge leg on the route.In lieu of shuttle buses, the TTC has shared a list of surface transit options for commuters to navigate the subway closure this weekend.TTCIf the closure sounds familiar, the TTC had just closed this exact stretch of Line 1 for the entire weekend of Saturday, Nov. 8, and Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025.

4 d. ago Former Toronto Blue Jays coach says this one move cost team the World Series

Out of all the moments where the Toronto Blue Jays could've won the World Series, one play seems to stand above the rest of them, and it's seared into fans' brains.In the ninth inning of Game 7, Isiah Kiner-Falefa came within inches of scoring a championship-clinching run, sliding into home plate with the chance to give the Blue Jays a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.With one out in the bottom of the ninth and two runners on base, Daulton Varsho cracked a ground ball to the infield that had a shot at scoring the run from third.But despite a fumble on the pickup of a ground ball from Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas, Kiner-Falefa was just a fraction of a step too short. Ernie Clement then flew out on a wild play to centre field with another chance for Toronto to win the game, which they eventually lost in 11 innings.The biggest question that came out of many Blue Jays fans once they dissected it after the fact: why did Kiner-Falefa start his lead so close to third ...

6 d. ago Max Scherzer still wrapping his head around his Toronto Blue Jays future

The Toronto Blue Jays' fateful World Series run was full of unlikely heroes — and their oldest player nearly had a shot at being one of their biggest.In Game 7 of the World Series, Toronto opted to start 41-year-old Max Scherzer, who often looked like a shell of himself during much of an injury-riddled season after signing a one-year deal with the Blue Jays.But during his third postseason start on the biggest possible stage, Scherzer did about everything he was asked — leaving the game with a 3-1 lead and a shot for Toronto to win it all.He went 4.1 innings, giving up one earned run and four hits. But in a game that ended up going 11 innings and that featured a combined 13 pitchers, Scherzer's story became a footnote and not the lede.As you know by now, the Los Angeles Dodgers had other plans, scoring four runs on Toronto's bullpen for an eventual 5-4 win.But Scherzer's postseason performance showed that the three-time Cy Young winner just might be able t...

1 week ago Has Bo Bichette played his last game in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform?

For Bo Bichette and the Toronto Blue Jays, there was almost an all-time moment to potentially conclude their time together.In Game 7 of the World Series, a hobbled Bichette stepped up to the plate in the second inning — and launched a blast over the outfield wall to give Toronto a 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.Had Toronto gone on to win the title, Bichette's homer might've been printed on t-shirts and the front page of newspapers all over the country. But Toronto ended up scoring just one more run that game and gave up five, with the Dodgers taking Game 7 by a 5-4 score in the 11th inning.The home run, and Bichette's whole appearance in the World Series, were perhaps clouded by some thoughts about how exactly to handle his pending free agency this offseason.

2 w. ago People still think Toronto Blue Jays deserve parade after World Series loss

The Toronto Blue Jays' heartbreaking World Series loss in Game 7 has left much of Canada in a disappointed funk, but a vocal contingent of the team's base is still calling for a parade to celebrate the team's historic playoff run — even if it didn't end the way the country had hoped.Toronto was just two outs away from winning a title, and even after losing a lead in the 9th inning, the Jays were again just inches from a World Series before ultimately falling to the Dodgers 5-4 in the 11th inning.It was about as close as you can get to a championship without actually getting the trophy — an achievement that fans still want recognized.Journalist Steve Paikin is one of the many prominent voices who have suggested a parade be held regardless of the loss.
