It seems Toronto is finally sick of "6ix Dad" Norm Kelly, as he just lost his council seat to Jim Karygiannis.

The residents of Ward 22 Scarborough-Agincourt voted to keep Karygiannis in his council seat today during the municipal election, a seat he has held since 2014. 

Karygiannis was pitted against colleague and fellow-incumbent Kelly after their respective wards were combined under Doug Ford's council cuts. 

However, Kelly will probably be just fine, as he mostly spends his time selling his own merch and settling beefs with Drake and Meek Mill. 

I guess he was "too lit to politic."

After more than 20 years of terrorizing City Hall, Giorgio Mammoliti has finally been given the boot by voters. 

Mammo, who faced colleague Anthony Perruzza due to Doug Ford's council cuts, was unable to pull the votes needed to secure his own job. 

The long-time councillor, who once showed up to council half-naked, called his residents "cockroaches," filmed topless women at a parade, and left a racist rant on his opponent's Facebook page, failed to win back the seat in a ward larger than it would have been if he hadn't supported the premier's slashing of council. 

The winner of the ward, Anthony Perruzza, had been the incumbent of the former Ward 8 before it was joined with Mammo's. He had been leading in the polls for several weeks prior to the election. 

From the outside this place looks more like a school or office building. The house is shaped like a Tetris piece and has that flat roof that the janitors would have to climb on to go get all the errant tennis balls.

Inside, however, is a beautiful modern home. The entrance way has soaring ceilings and plenty of natural light. I like the industrial staircase and the fact that there’s a full on tree in the middle of the floor. I wonder if that comes with the house?

The living room and dining room are open concept, and the rooms are interestingly-shaped. The marble fireplace is eye catching.

The kitchen and cozy family room are also open plan. The kitchen is stacked with top-of-the line appliances for all your cooking and hosting needs.

Also on the main floor is an office and a powder room. The powder room has very interesting wallpaper. Honestly,you could get motion sickness just looking at it.

Upstairs are the main bedrooms. Each come with their own en suite so you never have to argue over who gets to shower first.

The master bedroom is spacious with his and hers walk-in closets.

The basement is where all the fun happens. It comes with a home theatre, a wet bar and a wine fridge.

As for outdoor space this place is blessed with a massive deck and a salt water pool. There is no grass to speak of.

Move On If

You don’t want to shovel your roof in the winter. Flat roof homes and buildings are notorious for leaks, cracks and pooling water, so they require more maintenance than your regular slanted roof.  

Canada Post workers are currently operating under a rotating strike. As the days continue, the strike will affect different cities and locales. 

Starting at 12:01 a.m. this morning, the strike moved to Toronto and the GTA, excluding Scarborough. The GTA-based strike will see almost 9,000 workers off the job. 

Edmonton, Windsor, Halifax, and Victoria were all affected yesterday. 

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is striking to demand better job security, an end to forced overtime, and health and safety policies. 

A statement from the union states that Toronto is a "key processing hub for mail and parcels in Canada." Therefore, the GTA strike will affect much of the rest of the country. 

Both sides are still at the bargaining table, but an end is not currently in sight. 

Want to be able to say your bakery is where the best cinnamon buns in Toronto were made?

Rosen’s Cinnamon Buns is closing their College St. Bakery and their entire 1060-square-foot space is up for grabs. It was opened and renovated only two years ago.

If you want to live the dream, buying the equipment and taking over the lease will set you back $125,000. It comes with brand new equipment, wiring, and plumbing.

Torontonians can blame their own ravenous demand for cinnamon buns: it’s just too much to keep up with, and owner Amy Rosen needs to move to a larger space or find a co-packer for her cinnamon bun operation.

She’s not selling the Rosen’s brand, recipes or bakery itself, just the space and equipment at College and Ossington.

Aside from the fact that I don’t have $125K just lying around, baking is a lot of hard work, so personally I think I’ll be taking a pass on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

All I can hope is that wherever Rosen’s Buns relocates to, it’s even closer to me.  

A flurry of Toronto restaurant closures this fall has claimed another victim, this time, popular spot Peoples Eatery.

The Chinatown kitchen pumping out a menu of global fusion with a classic bar snack backbone was headed up by Chef Dustin Gallagher, winner of a recent season of Top Chef Canada.

A somewhat cryptic Instagram post announced over the past weekend that the restaurant’s last service would be November 2, but didn’t cite any concrete reasoning behind the closure.

IT’S BEEN FUN! with that, we announce that peoples will hold it’s final dinner service on friday, november 2nd. why, you ask? not important. what is important is that we get to see you one last time at least so we can celebrate the meals and drinks we’ve shared in past, and the ones we’ll share in future. for the next two weeks we’ll be open wednesday to sunday with regular hours (ie. closed mon-tues), with one final hurrah on the final friday. much love and thanks to all our staff, regulars and everyone that came out to celebrate with us over the years. the city is ever evolving, and we’ll continue to be a part of that, one way or another.  xoxo - matt, dusty, dave and ager.

“Why you ask? Not important,” says the caption of the post, continuing just as cryptically, “The city is ever evolving, and we’ll continue to be a part of that, one way or another.”

In the meantime, equally popular sister restaurant 416 Snack Bar shows no signs of shutting down. Head there to get your fix of the same high level of global fusion cooking, sans cutlery.

The Toronto election results are now in. The 2018 municipal election is over, and with it comes a brand new 25-seat council, down from 47 thanks to the province's controversial cuts. 

Here are the results for every ward, plus the winner of the shiny mayor's seat, in Toronto's 2018 municipal election.

Mayoral Race

It seems this time the polls were right, as John Tory was able to hang on to his mayoral seat. He defeated Jennifer Keesmaat, who ran a fierce campaign against her old boss. 

Tory beat Keesmaat in every single Toronto ward.

Tory took about 63 per cent of the vote, while Keesmaat took a fair 23 per cent. The two had battled passionately throughout the campaign, but the incumbency of Tory remained as he dusts off his old seat. 

Ward 1 – Etobicoke North

This race has probably made incumbent Vincent Crisanti a little bitter. He is a loyal Doug Ford ally, losing his post as deputy mayor after backing the Premier's mayoral campaign, and he lost the race last night to Ford's nephew, Michael Ford. 

Ward 2 – Etobicoke Centre

One of the many wards with two incumbents facing off, this race went to fiscal conservative Stephen Holyday over colleague John Campbell. 

Ward 3 – Etobicoke-Lakeshore

It seems corruption investigations and union-busting allegations can't keep Mark Grimes down, as voters in this ward decided to hand him another term, turning away challengers Pamela Gough and Amber Morley.

Ward 4 – Parkdale-High Park

No surprises here as Gord Perks resumes his seat in a ward that has long favoured him. Those who watch closely did not see this race going any other way.

Ward 5 – York-South Weston

This was a close race―and one to watch. Incumbents Frances Nunziata and Frank Di Giorgio were head-to-head in the polls, followed very closely by progressive challenger Chiara Padovani. Ol' Nunzie took this one, so you'll be seeing her as council's no-nonsense speaker for another term.

Ward 6 – York Centre

With another incumbent versus incumbent race in this ward, it was one where someone had to pack up their city hall office. The person packing this time is Maria Augimeri, who was narrowly defeated by James Pasternak.

Ward 7 – Humber River-Black Creek

Probably one of the most exciting races to watch, a four-way battle between Giorgio Mammoliti, Anthony Perruzza, Tiffany Ford, and Deanne Sgro saw Perruzza take it home. This means, however, that Mammo is finally off council (a celebration for many).

Ward 8 – Eglinton-Lawrence

Josh Colle, the previous incumbent in this ward, quit politics recently. His father, Mike Colle, easily defeated second incumbent Christin Carmichael Greb and lawyer Dyanoosh Youssefi. 

Ward 9 – Davenport

It was an easy and breezy win for Ana Bailao after her former colleague, Cesar Palacio, dropped out of the race. Taking home the largest share of any ward, Bailao won with a whopping 83 per cent. 

Ward 10 – Spadina-Fort York

Joe Cressy, long-time city council fave, was able to easily carry his ward to another term. He unsurprisingly defeated Al Carbone, the man who created the giant ice sculpture middle finger to protest the King Street pilot.

Ward 11 – University-Rosedale

Another unsurprising result in this ward as Mike Layton won his third term on council. His landslide victory saw a 70 per cent share of the votes, leaving opponents in the dust.

Ward 12 – Toronto-St. Paul’s 

Many considered this the race to watch, as two titans on city hall, Joe Mihevc and Josh Matlow, went head to head. At the close, Matlow was able to pull ahead and secure his spot, leaving long-time councillor Mihevc behind.

Ward 13 – Toronto Centre

One of the least surprising results took place in this downtown ward, where Kristyn Wong-Tam easily defeated challenger George Smitherman and incumbent Lucy Troisi. 

Ward 14 – Toronto-Danforth

A heartbreaking race for many, this ward saw long-time friends and council faves Paula Fletcher and Mary Fragedakis struggle to campaign against each other. In the end, Fletcher took the seat, continuing her 15-year run on council for another term.

Ward 15 – Don Valley West 

Another of the races with two incumbents, this one went to Jaye Robinson. She's been on council since 2014, and swept into victory over her former colleague, Jon Burnside.

Ward 16 – Don Valley East 

Denzil Minnan-Wong returned to this race after a failed bid as MPP in the provincial election. He took this council seat with an easy 46 per cent of the vote. 

Ward 17 – Don Valley North

This race saw former city councillor Shelley Carroll jump back in to municipal politics after an unsuccessful run for Liberal MPP. She coasted back into her old seat last night.

Ward 18 – Willowdale

Incumbent John Filion backed out of this race and endorsed Lily Cheng, but jumped back in and defeated her once the council cuts by Doug Ford were announced. This will continue his long career on council, being elected first in 1991.

Ward 19 – Beaches-East York

Two incumbents, Janet Davis and Mary Margaret-McMahon, stepped down to leave this as an open race. Facing off against Matthew Kellway, a former NDP MP, Brad Bradford used his mayoral endorsement to take home the win.

Ward 20 – Scarborough Southwest

The race in this ward was an absolute nail-biter. Gary Crawford and Michelle Holland-Berardinetti were elected at the same time eight years ago, and faced off against each other this time. It came down to less than one per cent of the vote, but Crawford was able to cinch a victory.

Ward 21 – Scarborough Centre

Quickly grabbing a fifth term in this ward is Michael Thompson, who easily won after fellow councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker pulled out of the race. 

Ward 22 – Scarborough-Agincourt

This race was one to watch, as incumbent Jim Karygiannis took on 6ix Dad and Toronto's most famous councillor, Norm Kelly. In the end, Karygiannis took the seat. 

Ward 23 – Scarborough North

In this open race with no incumbent, several names battled it out. The victor was Cynthia Lai, a community activist, who narrowly defeated her group of challengers. 

Ward 24 – Scarborough-Guildwood

Paul Ainslie, the incumbent, swept back into his seat with an easy victory over his opponents. 

Ward 25 – Scarborough-Rouge Park 

This race is one of only four with a new face. Jennifer McKelvie, an environmental scientist, narrowly defeated incumbent Neethan Shan by only 154 votes, taking home this Scarborough ward. For full results on every race, including school trustees and more, visit the Toronto Elections website.

The Ontario Cannabis Store is turning out to be a bit of an issue, as thousands of customers are having orders cancelled, not shipped, or receiving incorrect products. 

Over 1.3 million views and approx. 100,000 orders received on October 17. Read our full update on the launch below. pic.twitter.com/N7PQGJYiXA

— Ontario Cannabis Store (@ONCannabisStore) October 19, 2018

The site, which launched last Wednesday, is the only legal route to buying cannabis in the province. But, many are returning to the black market (including individual dealers, illegal websites, and dispensaries) to get their fix. 

I’m sorry, but you guys shoulda been more prepared than this.

— Director Diggz (@DiggzWorld) October 20, 2018

More than 100,000 orders were placed in the first 24 hours of legalization, and it seems the OCS wasn't prepared. 

I paid $5 for 1-3 business day shipping and ordered at 12:30am on the 17th but no tracking # yet. How is OCS compensating customers for the delay?

— Jackie (@JaX2884) October 22, 2018

Reports on Twitter and elsewhere show dozens, if not hundreds of people receiving the wrong product or not receiving anything at all, with little to no helpful communication from the OCS. 

Leave it to the Ontario Cannabis Store to make waiting for a random dealer, for a random amount of time in a mall parking lot seem appealing.

— jeremy mulder (@jeremymulder3) October 20, 2018

Orders are being cancelled without warning or notification, or shipments are being delayed up to a week past the promised 1-3 days.

I feel like there are Etsy stores that are significantly better organized than this

— brian dor (@jbriand) October 22, 2018

Many thought an impending Canada Post strike would delay orders, but it seems that the orders can't even make it to Canada Post's hands in the first place. 

Ah, the Instagrammer. A common sight—but none more common than in the back woods of Hamilton in the fall, where you can catch selfie-seekers in their natural habitat.

Just an hour from Toronto is the 3.9-kilometre-long Dundas Peak Trail, which draws people from far and wide for its picturesque views.

But I'm just not sure if possibly falling to your death, or at the least, sustaining some serious injuries, is worth doing it for the 'gram.

Doug Ford tried to wreak havoc on the environment, but it seems the federal government has other plans. 

It was announced today that the feds will enforce a carbon tax on provinces that do not comply, which includes Ontario. The other misbehaved children are Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and New Brunswick. 

Starting next spring, it’ll no longer be free to pollute in Canada. We’re putting a price on pollution in provinces that don’t yet have a plan to fight climate change. More on our plan to cut pollution, grow the economy & create jobs: https://t.co/VjCNOOKLVB

— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) October 23, 2018

Ford's attempt to cancel the cap-and-trade program would have had extremely detrimental effects on the environment, according to almost every expert on record. 

But, the federal government says there's no choice now.

— Richard Southern (@richard680news) October 23, 2018

According to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the new plan will result in an average rebate of $307 every year for a family of four. 

The Trudeau carbon tax will force our seniors to pay more for home heating in cold winters, make parents pay more to fill up their car when they drive their children to and from soccer practice, and force small business owners to think twice before hiring additional staff. pic.twitter.com/V40m6YBopF

— Doug Ford (@fordnation) October 23, 2018

Doug Ford responded by saying the federal government is costing Ontario taxpayers money with the new tax. But, he also plans to cost Ontario taxpayers money, as he promises to take the feds to court over the decision. 

It seems Ford is fine with meddling in Toronto's government, but doesn't like the federal government meddling in his. 

Regardless of political squabbles, hopefully the new program means the climate will be a little cleaner, because otherwise, we're all going to die. But that's no big deal, right? 

The Royal Ontario Museum is throwing a massive New Year's Eve extravaganza that lets party-goers celebrate with the dinosaurs. 

Ring in the near year by dancing to live music from DJ Lissa Monet and nomming on hor d'oeurves inside Canada's biggest museum. Tickets are $90 a pop and bound to sell out fast.

Those able to score themselves this hot ticket online will get one complimentary drink ticket, but cash bar will be open until 1:15 a.m.

And, for anyone who wants to get even fancier, you can shell out extra on two different dinner packages that buy you a three-course meal.

You'll also get to rub shoulders with dino skeletons in the Zuul: Life of an Armoured Dinosaur exhibit, or in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year room depending on which package you get, and an epic countdown.

If you like toys at the bottom of your breakfast cereal, you'll love D'Italiano's new olive oil bread: It comes with a pet! And maybe also the plague!

A recent shopper at the No Frills grocery store near Main and Tisdale Streets in Hamilton has hundreds of people worked up today over the prospect of mice crawling through their bread.

The shopper, who goes by u/massivecoiler on Reddit, posted a photo of what appears to be a mouse inside a packaged bread product to the r/Ontario subreddit Wednesday.

"Live mouse in loaf of bread @ No Frills in Hamilton," they wrote as the photo's caption, though, without video footage, we can't say for certain that the mouse was alive.

One-time Toronto resident Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex smiles on a magazine cover next to the mouse bread at No Frills. Image via u/massivecoiler on Reddit.

It also isn't clear if the rodent got into the bread at No Frills, or while being packaged at Toronto's Weston Bakeries Limited.

Either way, it's not a great week for the PR team at Loblaw, which owns No Frills, D'Italiano and the Real Canadian Superstore, where a shopping cart filled with raw meat grossed out Toronto shoppers on Tuesday.

Jokesters, on the other hand, are having a field day.

"Would this not count as a 'frill'?" reads the most up-voted comment, followed by "It's extra protein at the very least."

Gross. Funny, but gross.

Calling all winter revelers: Blue Mountain has a new trail that will make visitors feel like they're inside a snow globe. 

The Blumination Dream Trail is a brand new one-kilometre trail that takes strollers through the wintry wonderland that is the Blue Mountain Village.

Starting at 5 p.m. and running until 10 p.m., your journey starts off at the Field of Dreams and winds through a spectacle of twinkle lights and exhibits. It'll end at the events plaza, where light shows will be taking place at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. daily. 

If you're not the walking type, there's even free horse-drawn wagon rides around the base of Blue Mountain on Saturdays during the day, and at night, fireworks over the Mill Pond.

Weekends will also extra have family-friendly daytime activities like taking a picture with Santa and eating maple taffy snow treats. 

But the most epic part of the whole Village is the fact you can go swimming—yes, even in the winter. The Plunge Aquatic Centre is open Fridays to Sundays and has hot tubs and heated pools with swings, docks, and water slides. 

The Dream Trail opens on December 1, runs until January 6, and is open every day of the week. 

Welcome to the Friday, where events in Toronto have a group of photographers debuting new works that use striking visuals to tell a bigger story. Bill Murray, Alien and a spotlight on Syrian culture are all screening today and there's a multi-city music festival.

This adorable home in The Beaches reminds me of the waterfront properties in Florida, with a wrap around porch and white panelling.

Inside the home has been beautifully renovated. The rustic wood floors, the exposed brick fireplace and big bay windows give the house a cozy, almost cottage-like feel.

The main floor is open concept with tall ceilings and lots of natural light.

The kitchen is modern and clean with white counters and stainless steel appliances.

Upstairs are the bedrooms. They’re all pretty standard, but nice.

The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a big en suite. The bay window floods the room with sunlight.

On the third floor there’s a huge loft room, which could be used as a guest bedroom or a home office. There’s more space in the basement, however, it is unfinished.

The backyard is pretty basic with a deck, stone patio and a small lawn. It’s not winning any gardening awards, but any green space is great.

Why it sold for what it did?

It seems that $2 million is the going rate for a renovated house these days. This one is very lovely, and it’s a spacious house in a good neighbourhood that close to schools, the TTC and downtown.

Was it worth it?

It’s definitely a nice house, but I don’t know if it’s $2-million-nice. The basement is unfinished, there’s only 2.5 bathrooms and you’re still a 40 minute commute from downtown.

There can only be one Fashion Santa, much to the chagrin of Yorkdale Mall and its various sub-par iterations of Paul Mason's original internet-breaking, Bieber-approved holiday guy.

Attention all smokers, vapers, e-cigarette users and cannabis consumers at U of T: You'll soon be forced to ditch your vices on campus.

University of Toronto officials announced on Friday that the school plans to completely stamp out smoking across all three of its campuses, including the massive downtown site that sprawls across dozens of city blocks.

The ban will come into effect on January 1, 2019, according to U of T, and apply to both the smoking and holding of "lighted tobacco or cannabis," as well as e-cigarettes and vaping devices.

Exceptions will be made for Indigenous ceremonial activities and those who require medical accommodation. Each campus also has the option to create designated outdoor smoking areas to be used during a "transitional period."

The move will bring U of T in line with 65 other post-secondary institutions in Canada and hundreds across the U.S. where smoking is already banned.

"Our existing smoking policy is decades old and recent changes by the provincial government that allow smoking of cannabis in public spaces may increase the risk of exposure to second-hand smoke," said VP of human resources and equity, Kelly Hannah-Moffat, in a press release.

The school is also stressing on its website that it will support all faculty, staff and students who wish to quit smoking through Green Shield's smoking-cessation program, and others available through U of T's Health and Wellness Centres.

So, if you go to, work at, or even live near U of T, there's really never been a better time to make "quit smoking" your New Year's resolution.

New year, new rules, new [whatever you decide to buy with all the money you'll save].

Papa John's isn't doing so hot right now. 

According to DineSafe, the American pizza franchise's Regent Park location closed down Wednesday after failing a follow-up inspection with several sanitary infractions. 

The pizzeria's most crucial blunder was its poor ventilation, which the DineSafe report said was maintained "in a matter permitting a health hazard." 

On top of that, they had other significant violations including failing to protect the restaurant from both the harbouring and breeding of pests. 

Papa John's was given a conditional pass the day before with significant infractions, but evidently bombed their re-inspection.

This location on Dundas East has had a pretty good track record up until now, but this closure certainly doesn't help the the franchise's flailing business.
