Having to visit your healthcare provider and acquire a sick note to help justify time off work may soon be a thing of the past in Ontario, as the provincial government is planning on making some "common sense changes" to healthcare that include moving away from the use of doctors' notes. The document, which patients usually have to pay for out of pocket, is just one of the many contributing factors to an untenable surge in the administrative work placed on physicians amid a serious shortage of family doctors in the province. To ease this burden, Health Minister Sylvia Jones rev ..read more

Canadians are increasingly perturbed about the state of grocery prices, and Toronto residents in particular are feeling the burn of rising living costs and harkening back to more affordable days through nostalgic advertisements and flyers from times when food seemed reasonably priced.

The time of year has come around again when the top 50 bars in North America are crowned — and Toronto has once again found its way into multiple spots on the list. While last year the city shook, stirred and sipped its way into four placements on the list, and this year has only managed to snag four placements, it's still great to see Toronto's innovative bar scene get the credit it deserves. Topping the ranking of Toronto bars on this year's list (and defending its title for a second ye ..read more
