Attending a Toronto Maple Leafs playoff game is a costly endeavour, and the lower bowl of Scotiabank Arena is reserved for the ultra-privileged willing to shell out thousands for the best seats in the house. Unfortunately, wealth and rowdiness don't have too much overlap, and rich ticketholders are once again being slammed for deadening the vibe during a big Leafs home game. Maple Leafs fans endured a heartbreaking 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night, dropping Game 3 of a best-of-seven series to their arch-rival and slipping behind 2-1 in their first-round series. The energy in S ..read more

The Last Timbit takes place entirely within a ..read more

Toronto Maple Leafs play-by-play man Joe Bowen was not impressed with fans at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night. With the Leafs falling short to the Boston Bruins in Game 3 of the ongoing series, the veteran radio announcer voiced his frustrations with the home crowd live on the broadcast. Bowen later took to social media, arguing that Toronto's fans were not proactive enough in a post-game X post. "The idea of going to any sporting event to support the home team is to be proactive," Bowen wrote. "Give the team energy when they need it, not sitting down waiting to be reactive." Bowen, whose ..read more

After looking at homes your entire life, you think you know what a roof should look like.  You've got gable roofs, flat roofs, gambrel roofs, and every now and again a hip roof or a shed roof.   But 44 Foxley St. says screw the conventional, and went something totally different – a curved zinc roof.  A closer look at the zinc roof that is fire resistant, insect-proof and long-lasting. The home was designed by the award-winning JA Architecture studio and Houyan Homes. The roof shape nods to the architecture of the Middle East, the ancestral home of the house ..read more

The ire against Loblaw stores continues as someone has released a jingle about the controversial and heavily condemned "Steal From Loblaws Day" movement. A TikToker and musician who goes by Callum released his comedic jingle on social media a few days ago, and it's garnered a ton of reaction. "Galen Weston is a man with 15,000 times more money than the average man," the song starts out, taking a jab at the chairperson and director of Loblaw Companies Ltd. "He inherited a grocery chain from his dad and stole millions of dollars in a price-fixing scam," h ..read more

Having to visit your healthcare provider and acquire a sick note to help justify time off work may soon be a thing of the past in Ontario, as the provincial government is planning on making some "common sense changes" to healthcare that include moving away from the use of doctors' notes. The document, which patients usually have to pay for out of pocket, is just one of the many contributing factors to an untenable surge in the administrative work placed on physicians amid a serious shortage of family doctors in the province. To ease this burden, Health Minister Sylvia Jones rev ..read more

Canadians are increasingly perturbed about the state of grocery prices, and Toronto residents in particular are feeling the burn of rising living costs and harkening back to more affordable days through nostalgic advertisements and flyers from times when food seemed reasonably priced. But some things never change. Public outrage directed at major grocers, for instance, is nothing new for Toronto. Even 175 years ago, long before the era of supermarket chains, locals were fuming over a near-monopoly held by St. Lawrence Market on the sale of meat in the city. The Toronto Archives this ..read more

Toronto Maple Leafs fans are not happy with one of the city's major publications. On Wednesday, the Toronto Sun published a front-page story entitled "The Invisible Leaf: When Buds need him most, Mitch Marner pulling his usual playoff disappearing act." Accompanying the headline of Steve Simmons' story was a photo of Marner in team gear with his face erased, making him appear invisible.
