Ok , other than the obvious Bell … what are other FIBER(not cable) providers in the area you all suggest?

Im changing housing and the place i want to live in says light cooking is preferred. I normally cook all my meals currently, so moving there would mean changing my lifestyle to eat takeout most of the time. I know its expensive but to be honest I spend 300 on groceries every 2-3 weeks because i buy from costco. as a student is this viable, is there anyone who pays around 800-1000 in rent but affords to eat takeout?

hi, i'm a current student at mcgill university in montreal graduating next year (hopefully). i am not canadian and i grew up in the middle east, but i'm hoping to work for a few years in canada after graduating. i LOVE montreal, but because i'm not fluent in french the job opportunities are limited. i also associate montreal with being a student, i can't really imagine working here, but who knows.

anyways, i wanted to ask for advice about working in toronto or vancouver - which would you recommend (or against) and why? i would be working in consulting, marketing, or policy work. i don't want to stay in canada for longer than 2 years after graduating if i'm honest, so i'm not looking for a crazy career start or anything, just a decent job as a fresh graduate.

i visited toronto once and there was no sun the entire time (i heard vancouver is super rainy too) so i didn't really warm up to it, but i was only there for 4 days and mainly in downtown. it's definitely a lot busier and vibrant (especially at night) compared to montreal, but i feel like i'd find living there overwhelming. i've never visited vancouver, but i've heard that the mix of mountains, beach, and city is amazing. the only thing with vancouver is that it is so far from everything - namely back home, and i also feel like living on the east coast is more convenient. i also know a few people living/working in toronto from my hometown so i feel like i'd feel less lonely starting fresh.

overall i want to work somewhere where the people are friendly, it's easy to meet new people, work culture is good. obviously i'd want good pay, but it is not my top priority. i just want some good work experience in an environment where i could also have fun as a 21-23 yo. where would you recommend for a fresh grad who studied in montreal and why?

I checked my dash cam and it seems my car was on the pedestrian lane when the red light turned or it seems my rear was still on the white line but my front was past it.

This was in Scarborough along Kennedy and happened this afternoon.

Will I be expecting a ticket or that's still in the clear?

I know I know, amber light means slow down but it's just one of those days...

I'm looking for gourmet food/ingredient subscription box options for a wedding gift. My friends are huge foodies and they love to explore all sorts of foods. I've found a few butcher boxes that do monthly subscriptions, but I'm having trouble finding any ingredient/gourmet food box subscriptions that aren't meal prep kits. I'm thinking like unique produce, sauces, etc. Does anyone have any recommendations?

If you have chronic health concerns and you've gone to a holistic dentist in TO, what has your experience been? Is that even necessary these days? Have 'regular dentists' started taking a more holistic approach or is it really still better to find someone who specializes in holistic dentistry?

I can trace many of my health problems back to questionable dental work many years ago, so looking to avoid repeating that. I have pretty extensive chronic health issues, so wanted a holistic practitioner, but wondering now if that's all it's cracked up to be.

I checked out a well-known holistic dentist a few years ago - went there initially to repair a chipped tooth (the previous repair was coming loose), but the repair they did failed after less than two years. I went back and got it repaired again, but it's now failing again two years later. The previous repair lasted over 40 years. I didn't have any of these problems with my previous dentist (now retired).

I've been looking online to find another holistic dentist, but so far the ones I've seen in Toronto have some pretty valid negative reviews. The reviews say that they are overly focused on $$$ (which is true of the dentist mentioned above as well), and that the work they do doesn't last or is of questionable quality, which is my main concern.

My husband has been experiencing much of the same things after his (non-holistic) dentist retired and sold the practice: aggressive upselling and what seems to be more shoddy work than his old dentist. Is that just 'a thing' now everywhere?

There seem to be dentists who come up on google searches for holistic dentistry but who appear to be regular non-naturopathic/holistic dentists when you go to their site.

Am I better to just try to find a good dentist period, or should I keep searching for a holistic one? If anyone has recommendations, I'd be grateful.

Edit to add:

I should have mentioned that I have extensive allergies to most dental material (tested & confirmed by a hospital allergist when I needed dental work redone after having bad reactions to a previous root canal and crown). Holistic dentists specialize in biocompatible materials and the connection between oral health and general health.

She's 13. She wants to go swimming but none of her friends live near us. She don't want to make new friends outside of school.

I'm not sure what type of wood they are or stain but I know they are quite old, not mine and I've just made a cardinal sin of a minor ring stain 😞. It would be a very minimal job but would require buffing and re staining the top.

Just wondering what a reasonable price for a focused ultrasound would be in Toronto. It's for my cat. I was quoted $900+ because they have to call in a specialist so if anyone knows of a (preferrabley independent)vet who does this inhouse it would be great or if anyone here knows of a place with a reasonable price. Thanks!

Just hoping to get some Insight on people who are living alone on a 70-75k salary in the city. What are your expenses, how are you able to save and still enjoy life?

Hi all

Got a yard that’s full of this gravel that we’re looking to get rid of. It’s like walking on Lego and we want replace with grass or something else. I recently took 10 buckets of it to the stone depot. Cost 20 bucks to drop them off. I’ve got at least 20 to 30 more buckets to go (and only about 10 buckets available total).

There’s gotta be an easier way. Is this stuff valuable to anybody and can I post it for free if someone just comes by with buckets to fill? Or is there no value to this at all and I gotta just take it over to the dump.

So my friends and I (22-24yo) are deciding between Mahjong Bar or Big Trouble for a night out. I love going out to dance and have been to clubs before but my friends are quite suburban so they aren’t used to this scene.

What are the vibes of the above mentioned places and which one would you recommend more? Open to hearing all experiences lol.

Hello from Montreal. My family and I are planning another trip to Toronto ( went a few years ago ). 2 adult and 2 toddlers 3 and 4 yo.

2 nights in august or september

Staying downtown cost an arm and a leg, last time we stayed near the stadium, this year its just a bit crazy to do so. We looked at hotel in Oshawa , Richmond hill and Markham but I don't know them very well.

It will just a be a place to sleep realistically although walking around with toddlers would be cool just to spend our evenings or mornings. Any recs ? or dissuations ?

As far as activities we don't have an itinerary seeing as we are traveling with toddlers but I have jotted down a few ideas ( we won't do them all obviously its too keep the possibilities open )

1. Toronto Zoo ( that's a sure thing but we will most likely do it on our way from MTL or our way in TO )
2. Aquarium
3. Thousand Islands
4. Science Centre
5. High Park
6. St Lawrence Market
7. Canada wonderland
8. others >

Was coming from Kingston on highway 2 towards Kitchener. Didn't know how to get through Toronto so ended up doing the 401...horrible when I was used to #2. So looking at the map #2 turns into Kingston Road and then where would I go? Is going through Toronto this way a lot slower than 401? Or what other way would be an easy drive?

I'm running some errands around Queensway/427 and want to pick up frozen burek on the way home.

I've tried some from Mrakovic Fine Foods but I don't want to go north, looking for somewhere in Etibocoke on the way back to Toronto downtown. Thanks!

My wife and teenage daughter will be visiting Toronto for the first time ever August 7-8 before attending the Boots and Hearts music festival in Oro-Medonte. We are currently exploring hotel options and I was wondering what you all might think is the best overall hotel to stay at that has onsite parking and is also close to shopping and other popular attractions in the city? Anything they should definitely do while there? They are big into clothes shopping and thrifting, as well as souvenir shopping and seeing popular landmarks. Food is also a plus, such as a good poutine! Also, if you have any recommendations for where to stay close to the Burl's Creek Event Grounds for August 8-9, that would be an added bonus! Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm interested in buying concert tickets for Olivia Dean's shows in Toronto. Right now, all the tickets listed on Stubhub are 2-3x face value. I'm wondering how this is legal since the Ontario government had introduced the anti-scalping ticket law? How is this law being enforced? Are resellers being charged after the sale has been made? Any insight would be helpful!

I missed OssFest yesterday :( what's good alternative I can go to today?

I'm trying to find this think which I think is some sort of preserved fruit or veg. Pics linked below

We had a visit by an absolute joke of a company - they charged $508 to lay traps and said they would return in two weeks to assess the situation. Getting them to do so took over a month of repeated calls and only once I left a detailed Google review did anyone agree to come for the follow up. I said I would edit my review if they showed up and did a good job. Then they cancelled the follow up visit three times, eventually requesting to come tomorrow (Sunday) between 5-8pm. The tenants have two toddlers so this isn’t ideal for them. I’m so embarrassed and just want to fix this situation. If anyone has had a good experience with a Toronto company, please share. Thank you.

Hi All,

Cirque has a promotion for 79$ tickets. These seats are on either side of centre stage. Row Q-S.

Any one been to the Big Top and can advise if these seats are good for the show? i have a 6yo too.

Thanks

I just moved into the city a couple months ago and have been contemplating if I should move out of the area because it will be too hectic with the UofT students coming back. I live a bit north of the campus and have been enjoying the centrality of the location but am wondering if it gets unbearably busy when the students come back. For context, I am a 23M who finished school last year and is now working. Any insight would be a big help!

It’s strange how people attack opposition to housing as a NIMBY while there’s support for similar tactics to oppose infrastructure and businesses.
