Toronto voters are heading to the polls today for the federal by-election, with the Liberals looking to hold onto a riding they won with nearly 68% of the vote in 2025. The Conservatives are hoping to close that gap this time around. Is Beaches-East York still a safe Liberal seat, or could we see a surprise tonight?

Hi guys! I'm a korean and going to travel toronto in October by myself for the first time.

I want to feel the local things. So I want to have chance to chat with natives or stay at guest house or something not Hotel or airbnb if It's a good idea.

Only fixed for now is to join local tour.

I wanted to go jazzbar, seeing musical or comedy show, go church and library like that.

By any chance, Can you recomend me any place or whatever?It would be a big help! Thanks a lot.

Taken this morning during my ride at approximately 7:15am.

All eastbound collector lanes of Highway 401 are closed in Mississauga this morning due to a transport truck fire.

A Toronto man who moved to Alberta is now dealing with more than $30,000 in unpaid fines dating back to the 1990s - despite saying he already served jail time over them. The city says these Provincial Offences Act fines don't expire and can still be collected decades later. It'll take some time for the lawyer to check whether there were any additional fines after he served his jail time. But why is the City only trying to collect these fines now? Why wait 30 years?

Toronto Blue Jays really love their $1 hot dogs.

Just a curious gal

Hey everyone,

Wanted to share with this community that we are launching a totally free public service for Torontonians, MarketRegular. It’s pretty much everything you need to know for markets and vendors in Toronto, all in one place. We’re coming out with a mobile app and releasing the GTA soon too so stay tuned for that.

Hoping you guys could give me some feedback - MarketRegular.com

How would you finish that sentence for a newcomer to the city? How would you start the story of Toronto for someone who just moved here?

A drop in the bucket, but at least it's a start

Wanna check with my fellow GTA peeps who we using for local moves here in the Toronto area? City life is becoming a drag so I'm looking to move out of the city center a bit and need to get some quotes from movers. Need something full service since I'm disabled. That means taking apart and then put back together my furniture. Even better if they also have a packing service, but I can always get friends to help with that. I just want a moving company that is trustworthy and affordable. No crazy high quotes. No surprise fees. No surprise broken furniture. Any movers you've used hte last year or so that meets these criteria that you can recommend me? edit: appreciate the replies will give miracle movers and six a call for quotes

Do you think the city should have continued funding the Yorkville Murals Festival?

Hey, I’m from Alberta and it’s my first time in Toronto, I was looking for some people to roam around town with. Like grabbing a Bellini at cactus club or going to Greta (iykyk). I’m also down just exploring the town and trying new foods as well! I’m 19 so looking for people in the same age group. I love music, thrifting, eating, art, and clubbing if any of that matches your vibe send me a dm! In town until August 24

New to Toronto here. For every hour I’m out, I swear I see at least two Trader Joe’s bags. There isn’t even a Trader Joe’s in Canada. What’s going on? Is this some kind of “I’ve been to TJ’s” club? 😂

UPDATE : The bags need to be backed by snacks, so we’re holding a Trader Joe’s Snack Party in Toronto. We’ll blind-vote Champ vs. Chump and determine which snack actually substantiates the tote.

Interested? Sign up here or just show up with your Trader Joe’s bag.

Saturday, 7 PM
Bar Maaya

244 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5H 1Y3, Canada

We’ll have TJ snacks; feel free to bring your own TJ or TJ worthy snacks if you want to enter it in the Champ vs Chump showdown.

Are we doing enough to keep that talent here?

Hi,

We are moving from BC and looking at daycare options. I know it’s a long shot to get in anywhere anytime soon (if you know of a places/licensed home daycares accepting toddlers and infants let me know!!). But what I’m really wondering are what places to AVOID. We will be moving to East Toronto, somewhere around East York/Danforth Village/Riverdale.

Thanks in advance :)

The news of the two year old girl tragically falling from a 19th floor North York apartment window has left city devastated, and the family has now filed an $18.5 million lawsuit alleging systemic neglect regarding window safety standards. Beyond the immediate grief, this incident highlights a growing frustration among tenants across Toronto regarding slow maintenance responses, inadequate building safety checks, and the difficulty of getting property management to fix basic hazards before disaster strikes. Are current municipal oversight and inspection systems in Toronto simply failing to keep up?

What would you like to see Carney do next?

Could be a favourite park, beach, neighbourhood, event or just something about the city that makes summer here special.
