It's been a particularly tempestuous June this year, with storms rolling in under blue skies and dropping torrents of rain on the city before dissipating or meandering eastwards. There have even been reports of tornadoes touching down in southern Ontario. The picture above, taken yesterday from the Harbourfront Centre, shows a storm system approaching the city from the east. The funnel shape in the centre is actually heavy rain and possibly hail falling on......

Witnesses told Torontoist that they heard a gigantic crack,......

With this morning's surprise snowfall, Toronto pedestrians are once again relegated to nimbly navigating slush-covered sidewalks—an unpredictible process that leaves us carefully weaving through each other like mountain goats passing on a cliff. What really gets our goad, however, is one of winter's notorious peeves: the lazy sidewalk shoveler. Mandated by the City to clear the sidewalk within twelve hours of a snowfall lest they face a $105 fine, the lazy shoveler quickly does......
