TTC subways twice as costly to build as Madrid's. And they got tapas while they were building it. Rogers increases their fake "system access" fee. Torontoist has learned that this is only the first in a proposed system of additional fees, including an "energy cost of making your phone ring louder" fee, a "remembering that you're paying for additional services" fee, and the obviously necessary "keeping track of all the fees you owe us"......

There were 4 more murders in Toronto on the weekend, meaning we only need 11 more to tie the all-time record of 89 set back in 1991. A spokesman for City Hall said that sure, the numbers look bad now, but crime would drop once all the thugs had killed each other. Not only more violent, but poorer too––a United Way report says that the median family income in Toronto is $10,000 lower than......

Mark Carney has been named the new governor of the Bank of Canada, which oversees the nation's monetary policy. Carney is currently the senior associate deputy minister of finance, a job for which they probably don't use the acronym SAD minister of finance, even though it would be funny. Federal Conservative organizers have been told to get their motors running and prepare to get out on the highway, with a federal election possible as......

Toronto has been called a city of neighbourhoods: The Beach, Yorkville, Chinatown, Little Italy, Greektown, The Annex; all have their defining characteristics that make them appealing to locals as well as visitors. And when it comes down to it, most of these areas are well-defined by the intersection of two major streets. Photo by Metrix X from the Torontoist Flickr Pool. A short walk east of Union Station will take you to one of Toronto’s......

Two Air India flights were delayed after hand searches uncovered knives that had already passed through x-ray screening and a metal detector. In fact, the only reason they were found at all is because Air India requires manual checking of all carry-ons—something most airlines don’t do. Happy flying! Arrests for simple possession of marijuana were up by up to a third in major Canadian cities last year. Police say that many younger smokers aren’t......

Are you an awards show fanatic? Do you long for a chance to strut down that red carpet in a fancy tuxedo or evening gown, but lack the talent necessary to get there? Or, do you just like hockey? More importantly: do you like sitting? Well here's your chance to be a seat filler for the 2007 NHL Awards. Seat filling is like a game of musical chairs, except in formal wear, and depending on......

Some biggish news announced this week in regards to two of this city's major theatres: Passe Muraille and CanStage (oh, I'm sorry, I mean "The Canadian Stage Company"—more on that later). Let's start with Passe Muraille, the plucky underdog. Probably the biggest morceau is that they're kicking off their 40th season with a remount of Michael Healey's ridiculously successful The Drawer Boy. If you missed all the (admittedly numerous) previous opportunities to see this which......

Every five years, the bean counters at Statistics Canada dole out the census numbers. Well, the 2006 model is in the showroom, the tires are getting kicked, and those who care about such things are saying things like, "Hey, Toronto is STILL the biggest city in the country!" Indeed, Toronto's population has grown—albeit by a mere 0.9% in the last five years—to include 2,503,281 urban dwellers.It's not surprising that the suburbs have been experiencing......

Today is the last chance to see Gordon Halloran’s stunning Paintings Below Zero ice art installation at Nathan Phillips Square as part of the WinterCity festivities, so get down there already! Halloran’s unique technique involves arranging coloured panels of ice into abstract shapes that emphasize the ice's texture and natural crystalline structures. The piece evolves as the panels freeze and melt, colours blend together, and the opacity of the ice itself changes. Past installations......
