In the wake of last week’s shootings at three GTA synagogues and an Iranian-owned business, the U.S. Consulate in Toronto was targeted. No injuries were reported and police are on scene. Sad times in the city...

Thank Doug Ford for this. I've noticed in my neck of the woods, walking and cycling, traffic is back to Daytona 500 speeds again, since the removal of speed cameras. School bus drivers are leaning on the horn, honking at drivers blowing past the flashing stop sign almost every school...

When Trump's gone i think i would go travel in the US. I love NYC. i miss going there, i'm so happy they elected Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist. NYC is a different world from the rest of America. I actually stayed at Trump Hotel Chicago years ago during Chicago Pride. We picked...

Unionized trade jobs is where the money is. Don't believe the "trades are desperate" BS. Companies are desperate for more foreign workers they can abuse and pay lower wages. As long as goverment allows immigrants to fill the “void” nothing will change. Why train someone that will eventually...

Santander is a dead weight. The jays went nearly the entire season without Santander in the lineup because of a bad shoulder! Now another season with the same issue. But Jays accomplished plenty without Santander last year. Hopefully Bieber isn't out too long. That's the biggest worry...

I'm jealous of my sister in Victoria BC, she is texting me her summer flowers from last year are still growing, because the winter has been so warm out there. Other years she has her entire garden planted with summer flowers, while we still have snow on the ground.

Yep and keep an eye out and educated our elderly relatives on these scams going around. My boyfriends aunt who is a 74 year old Indian lady, got scammed by one of these tow truck vultures a few years ago in Brampton. Her car broke down on a busy road. Some guy pulled over and phoned a tow...

Yep Japanese owned companies like Honda and Toyota, Hitachi, Denso..etc pay well and people who work there are happy. It's more the Chinese companies that are typically hell holes to work for. Which isn't surprising. In communist China, they are still using child and slave labor in...
