4 h. ago Federal report offers dystopian outlook on what Canada will become by 2040

In a future Canada imagined by the federal government's policy researchers, the dream of building a better life through hard work and education is all but dead.A new foresight report warns that by 2040, upward social mobility could become a relic of the past, with wealth and opportunity increasingly inherited rather than earned.The scenario outlines a country where rising inequality, inaccessible housing, and a broken promise of meritocracy leave younger generations disillusioned, disconnected, and doubtful that effort alone can improve their lives.According to the report released in early 2025 by Policy Horizons Canada — the Government of Canada's in-house think tank that has a mandate to "empower" the federal government with "a future-oriented mindset and outlook to strengthen decision making" — six shifts are driving this decline, based on the trajectory the country is currently following."Society increasingly resembles an aristocracy&...

7 h. ago There's a secret hack for getting Toronto Maple Leafs playoffs tickets for cheap

Any Toronto Maple Leafs fan who lives close enough to Scotiabank Arena has probably complained at least once in their lifetime about the high ticket prices, particularly in the playoffs.Looking at the resale market for playoff tickets for this year, whether you were looking to see the team in Toronto or Ottawa, you couldn't get in for a price cheaper than at least $300 or so.But if you are willing to be a little bit patient, things might just swing in your favour — and save you a few bucks toward finding your way into the building.During Sunday night's Game 1 against the Ottawa Senators, prices showed for as little as $151 on StubHub in the minutes after puck drop during the opening frame.If you waited until the end of the first period, the cheapest price for a standing room ticket in the upper deck had gone down to $85 at 7:48 p.m. By 8:14 p.m., those same tickets had dropped to $83, and at 8:18 p.m., they'd been put up at $67, perhaps uncanny ...

15 h. ago Toronto bar that was a neighbourhood staple closing for good this week

A Toronto bar that solidified itself as a go-to for many a party person in the city is closing its doors for good this week.St. Lawrence Market is great for a lot of things. It's perhaps the only place in the city where you'll find multiple peameal bacon sandwich vendors cohabitating peacefully under one roof. It's also home to what is, in all likelihood, the best farmers' market in the city, now operating every Saturday out of its shiny new home.For all of St. Lawrence Market's strengths, though, for a long time, the surrounding area found itself majorly lacking in the nightlife category. Sure, bars and social clubs have come and gone over the years, but nothing really managed to make an impression. Until 2021, that is.That year, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, two hot new spots burst onto the scene, invigorating the densely populated yet largely mellow neighbourhood: Bar Cathedral and Bar St. Lo.Both concepts caught lightning in a bottle, almost inst...
