64 m. ago Toronto Mexican restaurant chain quietly shuts down original location

A Toronto-based Mexican restaurant chain has quietly shuttered one of its busy downtown locations without notice.It's been well over a decade since La Carnita first began whipping Toronto Mexican food fanatics into a tizzy with their elevated(-ish) takes on street food staples like elotes, tacos and churros — and, boy, did the fervor ever stick around.Undoubtedly aided in the mid-2010s by co-founder Andrew Richmond's then-viral (or whatever the 2015 version of viral was) ice cream chain, Sweet Jesus, whose locations all either shared a space with or neighbored La Carnita locations, the Mexican joint was unstoppable for years.Sweet Jesus has since closed down all of its downtown Toronto locations (though a few are still open in the GTA and elsewhere in Ontario), but La Carnita, for its part, has held strong.Unfortunately for lovers of tacos, tequila, and all those other treats you've come to expect from the chain, their ranks have fallen by one, as La Carnita's original locatio...

9 h. ago Here's how many Tesla Cybertrucks were sold in Canada before massive recall

Transport Canada finally acknowledged the Tesla Cybertuck recall, and through it, we've learned that Elon Musk's boxy truck hasn't sold that well in Canada.The recall notice mentions that 1,995 Cybertrucks have been affected, so there is a slim chance that Tesla has sold six more to get over the 2,000 unit hump since the end of February when this recall was first issued. Tesla's website says that all trucks manufactured between Nov 13, 2024, and Feb 27, 2025, are part of the recall.In case you missed it, the American auto company needed to recall all the Cybertrucks because it glued on portions of the metal trim. The glue was failing, resulting in the trim coming off. Tesla is replacing the glue with a stronger adhesive and a couple of screws, so the problem is easily fixable.In the U.S., Tesla recalled 46,000 Cybertrucks, so it does appear to be selling better down south. In Canada, it costs $114,000 or more, depending on the trim options.In other Tesla news,&nb...

10 h. ago Buyers offering way under asking price for homes in most parts of Toronto area

Despite a small surge just before the official start of spring, bidding activity on homes in the GTA largely seized up in March thanks to the ongoing trade war between Canada and the U.S. These economic and political uncertainties have convinced many prospective buyers to put their dreams of homeownership on hold, and as a result, homes in certain areas of the GTA are seeing bids well below their listing prices. A recent analysis by the digital real estate platform Wahi compared the differences between list and sold prices in roughly 400 neighbourhoods across the GTA. At the end of each month, the platform compares the differences between median list and sold prices to determine whether neighbourhoods are in overbidding or underbidding territory. Source: Wahi.Data was sourced from Information Technology Systems Ontario (ITSO) and the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB).According to the report, approximately 20 per cent of GTA neighbourhoods with at le...
