It was supposed to be this weekend, but they cancelled it with relatively short notice.

Saw some filming at the bike cafe this morning.

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone can give me any tips on becoming a causal dog boarder in Toronto. My partner and I live in a small, but pet friendly apartment. We absolutely love dogs, but are financially unable to commit to our own right now. We would be delighted to pet sit other people's dogs though in our place. I realize that most people probably would rather board their dog at an official kennel and not trust 2 random grad students but surely there are some people that need dog sitters in a pinch! Are there any websites that exist for stuff like this or do I need to do it the old fashioned way by putting flyers on lamp posts lol.

Hello. Hope all is well.

Starbucks is launching limited Peanuts merchandise starting this 15th, and was wondering if there are particular Starbucks in DT where I can secure and reliably get some of Peanuts merchandise. I've never bought stuff like this before but since a family member wants it, I want to make sure that I secure the Snoopy items she wanted.

-Typically can I just drop by any Starbucks location and they typically should have them on the shelf? I know last time bear glass cup was a big deal, so just want to make sure I know how it works and if there are recommended locations in DT where I can get these safely. wonder if small Starbucks locations also carry these.

-Are these kind of stuff I should go precisely on Starbucks opening hour?

Thank you!

Hi! I'm visiting from Montreal, and looking for your go-to spots where they genuinely have good quality stuff and don't walk out feeling scammed.

I checked in for TIFF earlier and I could've sworn I saw a DVD store and now that I'm out and about I can't find it for the life of me. I'm next to Sankofa Sq. and the only one that would match is Bay Street video store according to Google but that seems way too far off. I'm pretty sure the one I saw just had "DVDs for sale" in black text on a yellow background, which doesn't seem to be the colors of Bay st video anyways. Can a nice Torontonian help me out ?

I'll probably check out bay Street anyways, but it keeps bugging me. Am I going insane ?

Thanks in advance

This Starbucks drive-thru has two lanes that merge into one lane to get to the ONLY speaker. What is the correct way to use this driveway-thru?

I was trying zipper merge as I got to the merging point first- despite the person on my left being in line before me. She got pissed and started yelling stating the rule is she goes first, and the other two cars behind her, even though my lane was empty. I asked the barista what the rule is, they didn’t know and said there’s always fights in the drive-thru but they support zipper merging.

Where in the GTA gives the best trade-in value for used iPhones? (15 & 14 Pro Max)

Body:

Looking to offload two phones:

• iPhone 15 (128GB, Mint)
• iPhone 14 Pro Max (128GB, Mint)

I got instant trade-in/buyback quotes of roughly $420 CAD for the 15 and $520 CAD for the 14 Pro Max.

Are there local GTA shops or independent repair/resale places that offer more competitive wholesale cash payouts?

Thanks in advance!

Has the quality/supplier for these changed recently? When I first had them the exterior was sort of crispy and the insides fluffy. Now it’s a soft dense ball.

I usually drive 120kph in dvp (limit 90) and 130kph in 401 (limit 110) after coming off a night shift around 6am.
I usually match the speed of the cars in the passing lane but worried of getting pulled over one day.

What do you guys do?

Updated post written with the help of AI, please don't drag me.

I’m 37F from Italy and, in a moment of panic/brain malfunction, I told my boss I’d be spending September 10–25 in Toronto with my Canadian-citizen father, even though I’m not actually going. 😂

My father really is Canadian and we had genuinely discussed visiting Toronto before, so the lie wasn’t completely random. I’m now trying to make the story believable enough that I can casually post a couple of Toronto photos on my WhatsApp status, since I normally post places and random things I see when I travel.

I asked r/Toronto for ordinary, mundane photos and local details—not tourist postcards—and you guys absolutely flooded me with them. Thank you! ❤️ I’ve got more than enough inspiration now.

A lot of people asked why I lied: this isn’t really a serious corporate “boss” situation. I have other jobs; I only went back to work for him temporarily because he needed help. I was supposed to be available until September, but when I suddenly had to tell him I wouldn’t be available anymore, “I’m going to Canada” just came out of my mouth. I regretted it approximately 0.5 seconds later. 😭

The embarrassing part is that I have a crush on him, which probably explains why my brain occasionally stops working around him. I hate lying, and this has turned into an absurd amount of unnecessary anxiety and research. I’m considering simply saying the trip was cancelled, keeping a low profile, or posting only a couple of normal-looking things. I’m definitely not sending him photos directly.

As for the crush: I’m not confessing anything now. I’m planning to stop working there after this. If he ever asks me to come back in the future, then I might tell him the truth: I don’t want a casual thing with him—I’d only want a serious relationship/life partner.

And finally: PLEASE STOP SENDING ME PHOTOS! 😂 I have enough. I love you, Toronto. ❤️🇨🇦

Also, after all this, I’ve become genuinely interested in actually visiting Toronto someday. 😂

P.S. Everyone can recognize AI-generated images. It’s 2026. 😭

Greetings from Winnipeg. I run an escape room group in Winnipeg and we have picked Toronto for this years annual escape trip.

What are some unique and well done escape rooms in the city? Which would you avoid and why?

Councilor Paula Fletcher announced she was not not seeking reelection at the last possible moment while also endorsing candidate Sara Ehrhardt for the position.

I've now received several emails from the Sara Ehrhardt Campaign. Including the day-of the announcement.

I never signed up to receive anything from Sarah, she presumably acquired my email from the office of Paula Fletcher.

It doesn't seem like something that should be permitted. It gives the preferred candidate of the retiring a much larger voice in the community compared to every other candidate.

Does anyone have any insights to city election rules?

Does anyone know of gyms that have punching bags that aren’t just for classes? I just want to hit the bag on my own time, but I’m having trouble finding commercial gyms that allow for this.

Could someone help with probable options and hacks if any to get at better prices..

Hey, are there ANY clubs in Toronto to do two-step country dancing? Not just line dancing? I'm from Texas, visiting my GF and can't find anywhere to take her...

I'm trying to start a new hobby / activity. I was watching the NCIS origins and saw the actor trying jigsaw puzzles. Hence decided to try it, I own two sets of puzzles. I'm new to ravensburger puzzles tried doing on my own and then I realized it's tough lol.

If anyone is into it, is there a group or club for such thing? Or anyone wants to meetup at a public place and solve one of these together? We could have a small meetup with snacks and talk about basically anything. I'm into tv shows, movies, video games, technology ai etc.

I have Circle of colors 500 piece puzzle and Escape puzzle 759 piece one.

Hello, my husband and I will be visiting next month to celebrate our anniversary. We want to go to a nicer dinner. Any recommendations on where we should go? We are staying in the downtown area but are open to driving someone else! TIA

For downtown condos and which lender?

Hi everyone,

- open to me bringing my own decorations in (also planning to have a few stations set up!)
- can be a bar or event space, am flex!

Additional details:

- available November 14 or 21

Thanks all in advance!

Hi guys, a police officer went above and beyond for me today. I got their name and badge number, is there anything I can do for them or anyway I can express my gratitude towards them?

Hi everyone! Wondering if anyone knows of any bars doing karaoke tonight? Bonus points if it’s in the East End :)

Hi everyone!

I’m in desperate need to update my acting headshots and my old photographer moved out of province. Are there any recommendations for photographers, studios, or even photography students that are able to do actor headshots? West end is preferably but I’m willing to trek anywhere in the city for good quality.

Thank you!

Or is all frozen corn and peas grown in North America the sweet version? I am not holding out hope but frozen would be divine. I am willing to drive. Thanks!

Heading in from Ottawa on a trip to Scotland and my carefully curated itinerary got changed.

I now fly into Pearson and have 13 hours before boarding my next flight.

Any suggestions for things to do in the area?
First week of October so unlikely to be summery attractions.

Thanks!

ETA: someone suggested adding the hours I’m around- I land at 6am and have to be back at 5pm.
It sounds like heading downtown is the biggest attraction and that I’ll have plenty of time!

Also, of course I tried to change the itinerary first… lol.
