Whether or not one finds that plant desirable at its current location, I recommend buying sugar from Lantic and not from a subsidiary of a Florida-based American firm.

I always enjoyed my guests' alarmed reaction when they saw my vertical blinds sway back and forth, on the 50th floor at ROCP I.

Or is it paused because people are no longer interested in the cramped apartments with micro-kitchenettes we are seeing everywhere?

Ontario Government news release: Ontario Science Centre Opening Interim Location at Harbourfront Centre by Summer 2026

The merchandise itself was shabby. Once I bought a tablecloth that had so much pilling after a single wash that I had to throw it out.

Ontario Government press release: Ontario Achieves Substantial Completion of Eglinton Crosstown LRT - Operational control now transferred to the TTC ahead of the launch of passenger service

Hard to resist for me because I have indoor access at Manulife, but I use mostly their meat and fish counters since their prepared foods are wheat-laden and I'm intolerant. They have an excellent, though very marked-up selection of Italian wines, which I find useful sometimes, especially on days...

This Paludan Café reminds me a lot of a bookstore/restaurant that existed in the late 1980s, early 1990s, on the west side of Yonge, north of Eglinton, in a building that was replaced with a condo a few years ago, and I am quite sure it was called "Chapters" (not that Chapters - it was before...

Well, she lost. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/3821644f00bd896cce500327aeafd93a4eb0d6cd3270ea82978f83f61ca5683f/7WPWTRFNFRG5FHMTBJRB34VOPI

News release: Province Introducing Legislation to Build Homes and Infrastructure Faster This is a very wide-ranging omnibus bill; I have worked on the French version of some aspects of it. Tenants will not be happy about it, among others. Security of tenure might be affected. Edit: The bill has...

I used to go there a few years ago; they often had a policeman instead of a security guard in late afternoons. But this is common. There is a staff member I know well at the Manulife LCBO, and one day I saw her washing the floor; a man had taken off with a bunch of bottles after relieving...

Not a big surprise in my case since I'm at the Manulife Centre. The bike score is a bit low, but there are fewer bike lanes around here. Daily errands not only don’t require a car, but can be done almost entirely indoors, even by people using a walker, and I'm quite sure that's why our building...

They might be referring to 1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene which is often present in Rieslings (especially Ontario ones, IMO, which is why I avoid them!).

More info in Toronto Life about the Avant fitness club, for those who have a $740 to $2,000 a month to spend in that high-end location above Chick-fil-A.

My business partner and I used to measure our restaurant meals in Susur Units (1 SU = $500). One advantage of not going out (and no longer having to pay for an office, transit, etc.) is that I can splurge on my home-cooked meals (and wines) instead!

I'm going to reiterate that I used to spend around 2k a month in restaurants and now I spend $0 because I need to work for a living and can't be disabled by a preventable disease. The Covid positivity rate is at more than 9% with wastewater signals considered "high". Ostriches aren't doing well...

Not sure if it was already posted, but Simons has a page describing in detail the artworks installed in its Eaton Centre store.

I would also feel very uncomfortable living above such a store.

Having used induction before, that's definitely what I would want instead of a gas cooktop.

Their kitchens make me feel better about being unable to afford their apartments. As I mentioned before, I'm not putting away my 30 lbs KitchenAid stand mixer after use. There are so many older apartments on the resale market that have vastly superior layouts. This is from their website: it's...
