21 h. ago Toronto home that was featured in a design magazine hits market for $5 million

Just over 20 years ago, 11 Hawthorn Ave. was a classic family home in Toronto's Rosedale neighbourhood. It had four bedrooms and bathrooms and a distinct early 2000s design style. It sold back in 2004 for $1,387,000, which was 8 per cent over asking. But a lot can happen in 20 years, and 11 Hawthorn Ave. went from a pretty typical family home to a home worthy of being featured in Style at Home magazine. The foyer. While the exterior of the home kept its charming historical curb appeal, the interiors were completely transformed.The powder room. As you enter the home, you step into a welcoming foyer with a powder room. The dining room. Rich two-tone oak hardwood floors are featured throughout the home. The living room. The living room and dining room are open-concept with lots of character, including a wood-burning fireplace, leaded glass windows and built-in bookcases. The breakfast nook. The kitchen is probably on...

30 h. ago Invasive plant is taking over Ontario but you can help by killing and eating it

The arrival of warm weather has many Ontario residents thinking about gardening season, but your outdoor spaces may already be harbouring a dangerous invasive species known as garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata).But, while this species is capable of choking out native plant life and causing widespread ecological damage, you can do your part by incorporating invasive garlic mustard into a tasty dish.People will say you can't make your problems go away by shoveling in more calories, but this might actually be one instance of a problem we can literally eat our way to fixing.What is garlic mustard and how did it get here?As its name suggests, the plant is an edible herb that offers up a distinctive smell similar to garlic when crushed, though it was this very culinary use that directly led to the havoc this invasive weed is now wreaking on Ontario's natural ecosystems.First introduced to North America from Europe in the 1800s, the plant quickly made the leap from garden pots to the wild...

30 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...

36 h. ago Giant feral goldfish that might have herpes are spreading in Ontario

If you've ever heard the urban legend about released pet alligators growing to colossal sizes in sewer systems, you might be surprised to learn that there are indeed released aquatic pets thriving in the wild in Ontario — just think smaller and less bitey.The very goldfish you often see swimming around in fishbowls and small aquariums (Carassius auratus) can grow to enormous sizes when released into the wild — topping out at a maximum length of 45 centimetres and weighing up to two kilograms.And, unfortunately, it's a frequent means of irresponsible pet owners ditching unwanted fish into ecosystems where they can cause harm.Researchers commonly believe that goldfish were the first foreign fish species to make the trans-oceanic leap into North America, with human assistance, of course.The provincial government notes that there is a prevalent practice of fish owners releasing their no-longer-wanted store-bought goldfish into ponds, lakes, or streams, where they can grow to...
