What celebrities have you encountered in toronto randomly?

As toronto is known for filming sets for many movies and series , have you met any celebrities randomly in a cafe, street , workplace, restaurant ( not in concert , tiff or meet and greets )
I have met Paul Wesley ( stefan from TVD) , Antonia Gentry ( ginny from G&G) and Finn Wolfhard ( Mike from stranger things) . I met them randomly at my workplaces.

Why are Toronto salaries so low compared to other major North American cities?

I know in general Canada pays less but I feel like our premier city would at least be comparable even if it’s just numbers wise and forgetting but the conversion rates. As a nurse here is hurts my soul when I heard about thsoe across the border easily cracking 200k in base salary which is unheard of here. But even outside my field seems pretty standard across the board, so why even in Toronto the capital city do we not see these types of high wages?

Virus going around

What kind of virus is going around these days?

My whole family got sick and the symptoms are similar to flu but feel so much worse.

Be careful out there and avoid contact with anyone who could be infected. It’s really bad.

clubs/bars to stay away from?

Hi! I’m 21F and just moved to Toronto from Victoria. I’ve been clubbing a couple times in Toronto (GRETA, Fiction), but I wanted to ask what places I should stay away from during Halloween weekend , whether they’re unsafe for young women or just generally a shitty party lol. What places would you recommend instead?

Thank you! It’s my first time posting on here :)

Why are people getting bold enough to walk around people’s private property?

At around 7:00pm on October 6th, someone (a woman 30s-40s wearing all black, with blonde hair in a bun) in the M1K area walked into my backyard unsupervised, snooped around my garden area and looked around as if they were planning to steal something. I have no idea who this person may have been, nor was I expecting visitors.

I’m just wondering, why would someone be bold enough to walk onto another person’s property without permission? Now I am worried that they may come back to potentially steal from my property.

Anyone else's apartment an oven right now?

The Toronto by-law requires landlords to keep apartments at a minimum of 21C from Oct 1 to May 15. (Unless tenants can control the heat themselves.)

Well, it's 22C/24C with the humidex right now. I don't really need the heat on that high. 21C is too hot for sleeping anyway - the recommended temps are in the Celsius teens. But with the warm outside temps my apartment is quite warm now, and I am considering turning on my window AC unit to cool it down.

Air conditioning in October. It's stupid, but I need to sleep.

Floridian visiting Toronto (yes, I’m bringing a coat)

I’m planning on visiting Toronto in late November from Florida. What are some low-key, non-touristy places you’d recommend to a visitor? I’m a big fan of libraries and similar institutions, and I like being mildly to moderately caffeinated. I’d appreciate any suggestions or tips. Thanks, TO.

Struggling Family Owned Restaurants Recommendations

Hello guy ,

My friends and I are looking forward to go try struggling restaurants, as eating out in popular spots every time doesnt seem to contribute much help to toronto food scene, imo. So I wanted to ask for some hidden recommendations from you, as google maps doesn't even show these unfamiliar spots. Open to any food, by the time the place is not fast food.

Thanks everyone

BSB Toronto - are we keeping the all-white Millennium theme going?

For those who survived the Ticketmaster glitches and managed to get BSB tickets.. are we keeping the all-white Millennium theme going for Toronto?

I know I’m getting way ahead of myself and it’s a bit premature, but I’m already thinking about the day!

How many of you live with roommates you weren’t already friends with?

Hey everyone, curious about something — how many of you currently live with roommates that you weren’t already friends with or didn’t know beforehand?

If so, how did you guys end up finding each other? Reddit, Facebook, an app, mutual friends, etc.?
And how did the whole process go?

Best Areas to Live if You Work At Pearson Airport

Hi everyone,

I've seen some older threads on here for some quick and accessible areas to live in if you work at Pearson Airport. I plan to commute by public transport. Was wondering if I could get an updated perspective from anyone who is currently working there and if you have/plan to move in the near future to make it more convenient. Given that my work hours can fluctuate a lot, safety is a pretty big concern travelling alone, late at night/early morning.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Edit: wording
Edit 2: commuting by public transport

Looking for quiet roads or empty parking lots for beginner driver practice (Scarborough/Pickering)

My daughter just started learning to drive (she’s had 3 lessons so far). She’s having a bit of trouble keeping the car going straight, so I’d like to take her out in my car for some extra practice.
I’m a little nervous about it, so I was planning to go early on weekend mornings when there’s almost no traffic.

Does anyone know of:
• Quiet neighbourhoods with long, straight stretches of road, or
• Large empty parking lots

in the Scarborough / east GTA area (or nearby)?

Fun Bars/Events for Halloween weekend?

Honestly, I'm 31 but still love putting work into a costume and getting a little loose at a bar downtown with some friends. Is there anywhere hosting events that would fit the vibe for a group of my friends to bunker down for the night? I don't think I could stomach another King West night at my age
