Michele Romanow kicked off the day by reminding the audience that entrepreneurship is messy and that all the planning can't prevent failure. Drawing on her early venture, a luxury caviar farm, she shared her journey from pitching to realizing the massive capital needed, highlighting how even a pivot taught her essential resilience. There isn't one great idea; there are hundreds of iterations from where you started. Her advice: get scrappy. That hands-on experience taught her the leadership and adaptability that fuelled her later successes.
Forty-four nurses and health-care professionals including social workers, dietitians, and pharmacists from the North York Family Health Team (NYFHT) have been on strike since Oct. 20. Rita Ha, a pharmacist and the group's bargaining unit president, told CBC Toronto the workers want to see the government funds redirected to staff along with a fair collective agreement. We've been doing negotiations since April 2024, she said. Every single time we come to the table, they're saying, There's no money, there's no money, there's no money.'
Aurora, a pseudonym to protect her identity, says she was almost one of those people before she discovered the York Region Centre for Community Safety (YRCCS). They told me that I'm not the one who should be blamed for this situation they taught me how to love and care for myself again, said Aurora. According to executive director Jaspreet Gill, YRCCS helped connect over 800 people and 1,200 of their children with intimate-partner violence resources such as shelters, legal support, and food banks last year.
In August, CBC News filed a freedom-of-information request to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), seeking the fate, size and disposal plans for U.S. alcohol products removed in March. The LCBO took 64 days to respond 34 days longer than the 30-day limit allowed by law. When the documents were finally released, they spanned 50 pages, but were heavily redacted.
and the city reposted it shortly after midnight, saying the last GO train from Union Station would be leaving soon. Reminder: we know the game is running late, but transit won't wait! the city said in a post. The game wrapped up shortly after 12 a.m. in a heartbreaking loss for the Blue Jays. About 40,000 people packed the sold-out Rogers Centre and watch parties were hosted across the city.
The collision occurred in the third period of the Maple Leafs' 5-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday night. It appeared to be a relatively harmless play at first, but it quickly became evident that Tanev would need assistance getting off the ice. There was also a little extra caution involved given the fact that it was Tanev's first game back following a similar injury a couple of weeks ago, when he took a shoulder to the jaw from New Jersey Devils forward Dawson Mercer.
Dershowitz reportedly told the newspaper that Canada had made itself an enemy due to its recognition of a nonexistent entity a reference to Canada's recent recognition of the State of Palestine. Dershowitz who recently made headlines over his feud with a Martha's Vineyard pierogi vendor also accused Canada of not doing enough to combat antisemitism and said he was in favour of Trump putting tariffs on Canada for its statements regarding Israel and Netanyahu, and even sanctions perhaps.
The Ontario government is proposing to help first-time homebuyers by lowering costs with a sales tax rebate it says could save up to $130,000, when combined with other provincial and federal saving initiatives. The proposal, which will be included in next week's fall economic statement, will rebate the eight per cent provincial harmonized sales tax (HST) for first-time buyers purchasing a home valued up to $1 million.
My boss, the Gazette's national editor, was Brian Kappler, strawberry blond and in his forties, viewed with suspicion among my fellow Serious Young Reporters because he was unfashionably conservative (he liked Rush Limbaugh's radio show) and sometimes not serious (he earned good side-gig money moonlighting as the paper's celebrity gossip columnist, using the pen name Doug Camilli). But I liked Kappler fine.
Hundreds of General Motors employees took to the sidewalk outside the CAMI plant in Ingersoll, Ont., on Wednesday to call on the automotive company to find a new vehicle for production at the plant. The workers, represented by Unifor Local 88, want clarity soon on the future of production after last week's announcement that the CAMI plant would no longer be involved in the BrightDrop electric delivery van.
Government House Leader Steve Clark is proposing to fast track a red tape reduction bill that includes banning speed cameras, a labour bill and an emergency management bill. The government plans to stop any further debate at the second reading stage for the three bills, then entirely bypass the committee stage that usually follows a time to hear from the public on the bill and make any amendments and limit debate time for the final, third reading stage.
S ince the Quiet Revolution, the question of whether one identifies first as Québécois or Canadian has remained a powerful marker of Quebec's political and cultural life. The ambivalence of Quebec identity is deeply rooted in a long historical evolution-from the "Canadians" of New France before the British conquest to the "French Canadians" after the Act of Union of 1840, and, finally, to the "Quebecers" of today.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says pursuing forfeiture of a seized Russian cargo plane that has been parked for years at Toronto Pearson International Airport has forced the government to disentangle the aircraft's complex ownership structure. This is a legal process, but it's also in the context of: How else can we help Ukraine in its time of need?' Anand said at a Friday news conference. The owners of the Antonov aircraft used complex corporate structures that have required significant time to disentangle.
An MEG Energy Corp. shareholder vote on a proposed takeover by Cenovus Energy Inc. has been delayed another week. MEG board chair James McFarland twice paused a meeting Thursday to address a last-minute "regulatory inquiry" before adjourning it until Nov. 6. It's the latest twist in a bitter months-long takeover fight that pitted oilsands giant Cenovus against smaller rival bidder Strathcona Resources Ltd.
A motion approved approved at Peel Regional Council last month proposes control of the Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives (PAMA) be transferred to the City of Brampton, with a plan to enhance programming and modernize the funding model. The site, which was originally the Peel County courthouse and jail, was built in 1867. But for more than 55 years it's housed thousands of pieces of art and artifacts representing the history of the region.
The victims included a municipal water facility where pressure values were changed, an oil and gas company whose tank gauge was tampered with, and a farm silo where drying temperatures were altered, "resulting in potentially unsafe conditions if not caught on time." Officials stressed these weren't sophisticated, state-sponsored operations but opportunistic intrusions that caused real-world disruption ranging from false alarms to degraded service. The attackers didn't need custom malware or insider access either - just a connection and curiosity.
A home in Vaughan has been shot at for the third time in two months, York Regional Police say. Officers say they responded to a shooting at a residence on Allison Ann Way, near Bathurst Street and Major MacKenzie Drive W., around 5 a.m. Monday.

A house fire in Mississauga on Halloween night is being investigated as suspicious, Peel police say. Just before 9 p.m. Friday, officers responded to a residential fire in the area of Mississauga and Kane roads, where they found Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services crews working to extinguish a blaze at a two-storey home, Peel police said in an email. The house sustained heavy damage as a result.
