Toronto Blue Jays lose Kyle Tucker to evil World Series champs, now what?

Yesterday, the buzz around the Toronto Blue Jays’ pursuit of star outfielder Kyle Tucker hit a new level after MLB insider Jon Heyman suggested a deal could be close. But, Tucker instead signed with the Blue Jays’ rivals from California, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 28-year-old star has agreed to a four-year, $240-million contract with the Dodgers, earning $60 million per season—an annual figure that ranks second among professional North American athletes, behind only Juan Soto.

The 28-year-old was widely viewed as this offseason’s top prize, with the MLB describing him as the No. 1 player on the free-agent market since the moment free agency opened. He started the 2025 season on a tear with the Cubs, hitting 17 home runs with 52 RBIs, 20 stolen bases and a .931 OPS through June, before a right-hand fracture led to a setback in the summer. Still, he finished the season with 22 home runs, 73 RBIs, 25 stolen bases and an .841 OPS in 136 games.

In a post on X on Thursday morning, Heyman wrote that a deal for Tucker “could come as soon as today,” noting that Tucker’s former teammates think he’d prefer Toronto over the other 29 teams, but he was wrong on the team, although he had the Dodgers in the mix.

“Mets offered $50M-a-year deal. Dodgers are used to winning. Anyone else is a major upset,” he added.

Multiple outlets had been reporting the same thing all week.

While the Blue Jays’ lineup remain a strong team, especially if they can somehow manage to circle back and sign Bo Bichette, the Dodgers stand apart as the most dominant team in baseball with by far the largest payroll. The team salaries stand at an incredible $413 million, nearly $100 million higher than that of the next closest club. 

With Bo Bichette, many in Toronto have tried to persuade him to say. The city’s restaurants are getting in on the action. Last week, King West steakhouse Animl made a move that had The Six talking when the restaurant offered Bo Bichette free steak for life if the Blue Jays shortstop re-signs. Days later, Casa Nostra in Vaughan jumped into the fray, offering Tucker free pizza for life if he signs with Toronto.

Pizza or not, if Tucker signs, it’ll be a franchise-shaping move, and one that could maybe help push the Jays back into serious World Series contention.

This Kawarthas gateway’s mix of beauty and charm is a perfect antidote for the winter blues

Kawarthas in the winter

If you’re looking for a rare Ontario getaway that’s big enough for modern museums and galleries, yet still full of historic landmarks and natural scenery, then head to Peterborough (aka, the “the gateway to the Kawarthas”). The city is nestled along the Otonabee River and Little Lake, about a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto, and pairs waterfront wandering with serious culture! In fact, one of the coolest engineering sights in the country can be found here: the Peterborough Lift Lock.

Even if you’re not big on infrastructure, Lock 21 will win you over. It’s a National Historic Site that opened in 1904, and it’s famous for its 19.8-metre lift, making it the highest hydraulic lift lock in the world! Watching boats rise and lower in what feels like a giant water elevator is oddly mesmerizing, and an attraction that’s very unique to the region.

Although the Peterborough Lift Lock Visitor Centre is closed, you can still visit the iconic landmark itself outdoors! If you time your trip for the Trent-Severn navigation season (typically mid-May to mid-October), you can often watch boats glide into the chambers and rise above the waterway. During the winter, watch as skaters soar by on ice.

Next up, explore the city’s parks and pavilions. Peterborough offers over 100+ parks, with extensive trails that are just perfect for walking and cycling. Start around Little Lake for the most scenic shoreline views, before exploring Beavermead Park. It’s a great anchor point, with trails and plenty of space to roam about. If you want a longer route, the city’s trail network includes sections of the Trans Canada Trail and the Rotary Greenway Trail, which links key parts of town.

Make sure to stop by a museum (or two). The Canadian Canoe Museum is situated on the waterfront campus on Little Lake, and is home to the world’s largest collection of paddled watercraft! The Peterborough Museum & Archives is great for local history and a deeper look at the region’s stories and collections, while the historic Hutchison House Museum is all about heritage-home charm and seasonal programming. If you like popping into galleries while travelling, the Art Gallery of Peterborough is an easy way to add a cultural moment to your day (bonus: admission is free).

If you’ve been to the Toronto Zoo a million times, Peterborough’s Riverview Park & Zoo is a fun, smaller-scale stop!  It’s open year-round and offers free admission (perfect for a family trip or if you just want a wholesome afternoon).

For lunch, explore the downtown core! Grab a panini at the Silver Bean Café: it’s basically a waterfront cottage in the city, as it’s set up right by the water. Cork & Bean is a good pick if you can’t decide between coffee, wine or craft beer.

Wind down your evening at St. Veronus Café and Tap Room. It’s an old-world-style tavern that serves Belgian comfort food, with wheat beers on tap! Head to Publican House for handcrafted brews and pub grub, or Amandala’s for a more intimate, upscale vibe.

After visiting Peterborough, consider extending the trip with a slow drive through the Kawarthas. This tiny Kawartha Lakes town is a magical winter escape (and you might never want to leave).

Toronto’s newest social club is totally alcohol-free and it might be the future of nightlife

Undoubtedly, Toronto’s big social scenes extend from nightlife spaces to wellness hubs. But what if you didn’t have to choose between the two? A new Toronto social club, NRG Haus, is bringing a different cultural hub to the city. If you’re over bottle service but still want to be part of a place that feels vibrant, this might be the spot. 

NRG Haus, short for Nourish, Recharge, Gather, is a new social wellness hub founded by Ivan Ho, who co-founded Fit Factory. Opening in Liberty Village, the centre is redefining how Torontonians can blend therapeutic practices, sober beverages and community experiences. 

During the day, NRG Haus will offer free movement between their sauna, cold plunge and snazzy mocktail lounge, with what they describe as “open-flow sessions.”

Will Edwards, NRG Haus’s Director of Operations, says the space is “designed for people who want to recover, reset and connect without the typical nightlife trade-offs.” 

“Overall, NRG Haus is built for people who are health-conscious, curious about recovery and looking for new ways to socialize that support both physical and mental well-being,” he said. 

Open flow sessions will be themed depending on the time of day. According to Edwards, that could include themes like “energizing mornings, midday resets or evening recovery.” 

Visitors can access NRG Haus via day passes or packs that include multi-visits, as well as exclusive memberships.

The space will feature state-of-the-art saunas and immersive LED-screen cold plunges, as well as a functional non-alcoholic bar and lounge.

If you’re interested in checking out their nightlife offerings, those will range from DJ-led events, gatherings for members, private and company bookings as well as various community programming. 

“These events are designed to offer an alternative to traditional nightlife,” said Edwards. “Great music, real conversation and connection, without alcohol or the next-day hangover.”

Toronto is no stranger to social clubs. Just last spring, one club called the Fifty Sixty Social Club was started by a TikToker and her friend who wanted more social spaces in Toronto for those 30 and over. Others, like the Queen West Hound House, aren’t exactly for humans — but for canines. The club offers experience for dogs and their owners to bond with other pets and even offers a co-working space and indoor dog park at their facility. 

Supper clubs have also seen a rise in the city too, such as Between Us and Cafe Mansheh, the latter providing dinner parties during Ramadan to muslims in Toronto. 

NRG Haus is also just the latest in a long string of sober and alcohol-free events in the city: the Coffee Party was one of the latest trends to take over the city, offering a rave-like environment with coffee and pastries as the main event instead of cocktails. One Toronto entrepreneur also launched a sober party movement in Toronto, hosting a mocktail event series.

The club’s website describes the new social hub as a modern wellness lounge where you come to recharge by day and reconnect by night. While no specific opening date has been set for NRG Haus, the club will open winter 2026, and will be located at 171 East Liberty St.

Toronto could see up to 40 cm of snow today in the city’s biggest storm since 2022

Snowstorm on the Highway during Rush Hour

Toronto could see up to 40 cm of snow today in what’s expected to be the city’s biggest storm since 2022. Environment Canada placed the city under an Orange Warning (Snowfall), urging residents to avoid non-essential travel and brace for major disruptions throughout the day.

“Reduced visibility at times in heavy snow and local blowing snow,” the agency said in a statement, adding that very cold wind chills will add to the adverse weather conditions. “Travel will be hazardous. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. Allow extra time for travel. Non-essential travel should be avoided.”

Early this morning, some parts of the GTA had already reported 15-20+ cm on the ground, with the heaviest bands seen throughout neighbourhoods north and east of downtown, including Scarborough. We could still expect another 10-15+ cm of snow, reaching 35-40 cm before the end of the day, making it the heaviest winter storm to hit the region since January 2022.

While today’s storm won’t reach the 55 cm that fell across parts of the city in 2022, commuters are already feeling it. The DVP was closed in both directions this morning amid crashes and black ice. The TTC activated its winter weather plan ahead of the storm and is asking drivers to avoid blocking streetcar routes. And if you’re travelling, Pearson and Billy Bishop have reported delays and cancellations as crews keep up with clearing operations and flight schedules get reshuffled.

Of course, because it’s a snow day, some of the best shots on social media are coming straight from outside people’s homes.

 There’s a 30 per cent chance of flurries this evening, with a low of minus 12 and a wind chill near minus 20. On Friday, Torontonians can expect a high of minus 2, but the wind chill will make it feel like minus 19 in the morning.

And we can’t get away from the flurries: light snow could continue tomorrow afternoon.

Matty Matheson is dropping a Canada-exclusive KFC menu and you need to try it

Our favourite restaurateur-actor-celeb chef is cooking up something new for Canada. Matty Matheson has created a Canada-exclusive KFC menu scheduled to drop on January 19! Right now, we don’t know exactly what will be on the menu, just that it’s part of a broader North American push toward warm, value-driven comfort food (but, looking at the YouTube promo, maybe Canadians could expect a menu involving sliders or crunchy chicken and a signature sauce?)

While Canada’s exact menu remains under wraps, KFC U.S. has already launched a limited-time collab item with Matheson, dubbed Matty’s Cheesy Nuggy Gravy Bowl. It’s a spin on poutine, with fries, brown gravy, crispy chicken nuggets and coated cheese curds (and foodies are loving it)!

“KFC knows value and flavo[u]r, and we wanted to bring that energy to lunch,” Matheson said in a statement. “Something warm and bold and comforting. It’s the kind of food you crave and can’t stop thinking about.”

Matheson’s dish is part of a larger U.S. $5 Bowl push that also includes the Mac & Cheese Bowl (homestyle mac & cheese topped with crispy chicken nuggets and a three-cheese blend), the Mashed Potato Bowl (gravy-soaked mashed potatoes with corn, crispy chicken nuggets and a three-cheese blend), the Spicy Mac & Cheese Bowl (homestyle mac & cheese with nuggets and a three-cheese blend) and the Spicy Mashed Potato Bowl (mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, nuggets and a three-cheese blend topped with Nashville Hot Sauce). While those items are U.S.-only, the lineup might hint at the comfort-first vibe Canada’s menu could follow!

“Every January, the conversation around food gets smaller with [a] focus on rules and restriction[s]. But it shouldn’t come at the cost of trading down,” Melissa Cash, KFC U.S. CMO, said. “Self-improvement can mean intentional indulgence, comfort and abundant value. 2026 will certainly be the year of balance, and KFC has something for everyone to keep the focus on what matters most: – you and the balance you deserve without compromise.”

Look out for the Canada-exclusive KFC menu on Monday, Jan 19!

From downtown burrito bowls to $6K burger orders Toronto’s delivery habits are out of control

Crazy Burger

In 2015, the idea of a stranger dropping a burrito at your door in Toronto seemed completely bonkers. Eleven years later, we’ve reached a point where Canadians have collectively ordered 16 million bananas and 60 million orders of fries through our phones.

Uber Eats just pulled the receipts on a decade of Canadian data, and frankly, Toronto, we need to talk. From $6,000 burger tabs to our questionable tipping habits, here is what the “Cravings Report” actually says about us.

The $6,000 burger mystery

snapins ai 3506269329987871799
@bindisburgers/Instagram

A Torontonian officially holds the record for the most expensive delivery in Canadian history. Someone — and we really need to know who — dropped over $6K on burgers and fries in a single go. Was it an intern’s massive typo? A wild office party? Or just a really, really intense craving? Whatever happened, it topped Edmonton’s $5,500 chicken order.

We’re “nice,” but we’re also cheap

The data confirms a very specific Toronto personality trait: the penny pincher. Toronto ranked third in Canada for being “polite” (meaning we actually type please and thank you in the notes). However, when it comes to the cities that tip the most, Toronto didn’t even make the top ten. Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal are all out-tipping us.

The burrito bowl era

Uber Eats

If you looked at a delivery bag back in 2016, it was probably pad Thai or a taco. By 2025, the burrito bowl has officially become the top-ordered food in the country. There’s also been a massive surge in garlic dipping sauce, which has replaced hash browns and spring rolls as the number one side order in Canada. We have officially become a nation that smells like garlic and carries a bowl of beans everywhere we go.

The “I forgot it was Halloween” panic

The most relatable part of the report is the “non-food” orders.  Across the country, the list of weirdest deliveries includes: a space cowgirl costume, a disco ball, a pickleball set and a  Christmas dog collar.

TGIF 

Uber Eats

Friday is the busiest day of the week for deliveries. By 5:01 p.m. the city collectively decides that the stove is out of commission. The data shows Canadians have ordered 30 million “Canadian” staples like poutine and butter tarts over the years, usually paired with the number one alcohol order: Vodka.

This storybook village near Toronto is straight out of a wintry Netflix rom-com

If you’re craving a small-town day trip that feels like it was built for a cute holiday rom-com, Millbrook is the move. This tiny village in Cavan Monaghan is about 15 minutes southwest of Peterborough (about a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto) and has a picturesque downtown core that looks more like a storybook village: think heritage façades, local indie shops and snowy streets that create the perfect setting for a winter-themed flick.

The Netflix holiday hit Let It Snow used Millbrook as its backdrop, transforming it into the fictional town of Laurel, Illinois. Locals may recognize Millbrook Antiques and Collectibles: the shop was turned into a quaint little pet store for the film!

Head to Millbrook for a charming weekend getaway, where you can explore scenic trail loops and enjoy small-town architecture, all without battling downtown crowds.

Start downtown, on King Street East. Millbrook’s historic downtown is lined with charming shops that offer specialty items, artisan products and locally-produced merchandise, making it feel like a storybook town in the best way. Stop off for a latte and pastries at The Peddler. The café sits in a historic heritage building and former bike repair shop in the heart of town, and has been a go-to for coffee and baked goods since 2007.

For gifts and pantry finds, head down the street to Millbrook Mercantile: It’s part boutique, part gourmet shop, with a strong focus on supporting local producers.

If your ideal day trip includes quiet creekside boardwalks, the Millbrook Valley Trails loop around the village and connect you with wetlands, meadows and forested stretches along Baxter Creek. Check out routes like the 3 kilometre Baxter Creek Trail and Medds Mountain Trail, with features like a floating boardwalk and old-growth areas. While in the valley, keep an eye out for Millbrook’s historic mill story: Needler’s Mill and the surrounding mill area are part of what shaped the village in the first place!

If you’re visiting during the summer, head to the 4th Line Theatre. This outdoor theatre company stages Canadian plays at the historic Winslow Farm (the box office/admin centre is in the village, 9 Tupper St., while performances happen at 779 Zion Line). Of course, the farmers’ market is worth a visit during warmer weather. Millbrook Farmers’ Market runs on Sundays from April to October, and it’s the perfect spot to fill your bags with handmade treasures and seasonal produce.

If you’re doing this trip in cold weather, make Millbrook Valley Chocolates your sweet stop! This family-owned chocolate factory is perfect for hot chocolate and handcrafted treats in the cold months (plus ice cream in the summer!).

For dinner, Moody’s Bar and Grill is a popular local pick for comfort food like house-made shepherd’s pie, chicken orzo and panko cod with fries (check their Instagram for daily specials).

After visiting Millbrook, consider extending the trip with a slow drive through the Kawarthas. This tiny Kawartha Lakes town is a magical winter escape (and you might never want to leave).

Toronto just got an art-filled new tapas spot from the mastermind behind Playa Cabana

When Dave Sidhu first launched Taberna Social as a pop-up at Muskoka’s Katalyst Brewery, he knew he had something special — so special, in fact, that he turned it into a permanent location in Bracebridge.

That location has since permanently closed, and the concept has moved to Wellington Street in Toronto, featuring a refined menu and sleek décor designed to welcome diners. According to Sidhu, the new menu is a more authentic take on tapas — an evolved, highly shareable version of what Taberna Social offered in Muskoka.

Hamburguesa comes with patatas, alioli, brava sauce, piquillo pepper and Guindilla pepper

Sidhu knows what he’s doing: he’s the mastermind behind Playa Cabana and Taco Fuego, and his newest outpost builds on that hospitality expertise. So when the Wellington Street space became available, he knew he could make it his own.

“I liked the space when I toured it, and also the location seems to be vibrant, especially in the summer months,” he explains. “And many great restaurants have been popping up in the neighbourhood. Another bonus was the proximity to the market (St Lawrence) which allows us to source daily and in smaller, fresher quantities — items like frisée lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, figs, great Spanish olive oils and aged sherry vinegars.” 

SnapInsta Ai 3788957465162393544

That access, Sidhu says, allows the Taberna Social team to craft fan favourites like grilled calamari, Gilda Pinchos, Gambas al Azafrán (saffron shrimp) and seafood paella. The cocktail menu follows the same thoughtful approach.

“The beverage program is a play on classic Spanish cocktails, such as a Kalimotxo, which contains red wine with cherry brandy and Amaro Montenegro, as well as some modern versions such as a Pomada that utilizes tequila instead of gin and a Negroni that pairs mezcal with Spanish bitters,” he says. “I hope guests enjoy the food and drink combined with the atmosphere in a way that can be a regular outing for them, particularly if they live in the neighbourhood.”

Taberna Social is located at 40 Wellington Street East.

Crumbl is known for its rotating menu of rich, gooey, delicious cookies wrapped up in iconic pink packaging, and now the chain says doughnuts could eventually be on the menu, too!

In a statement shared with PEOPLE on Monday, a Crumbl spokesperson said the company is “excited to be testing doughnuts as part of the ongoing product innovation process.”

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to grab a batch next week. Crumbl says the doughnut testing is still in the early stages, so there are no immediate plans to bring them to stores. They added that any potential rollout “would be quite some time away” and would depend on “extensive testing, customer feedback, and operational considerations.”

Crumbl hasn’t confirmed any specific flavours, but Snackolator shared a possible doughnut lineup that includes tasty options like Cookie Butter (topped with cookie butter glaze, crunchy cookie butter streusel, and drizzled with more cookie butter),
a Cinnamon Crunch doughnut topped with cinnamon vanilla glaze and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, and a classic jelly doughnut rolled in sugar and filled with a house-made raspberry jam.

Crumbl already has a footprint in the Toronto area (422 Front St W), with a unique weekly rotating menu featuring six delicious flavours.

This week, Torontonians can check out the S’mores Brownie (a rich, gooey brownie layered over a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with marshmallow buttercream, a drizzle of milk chocolate, and a graham cracker streusel), the Cookies & Cream Sandwich Cookie (a layer of vanilla buttercream and cookies & cream crunch filling sandwiched between two cookies packed with Oreo pieces), and the Wedding Cake Cookie (a warm vanilla bean sugar cookie topped with an swirl of vanilla and raspberry cream cheese frosting and a light crunch of white chocolate pearls!)

Putting Patients First: CEO Dr. Sapna Sriram on Healthcare That Works

integra dr sapna feature

Integra Health is a multidisciplinary healthcare and wellness centre built on one simple idea: care should be accessible, connected, and truly centered on the patient. From medical services and mental health support to nutrition, massage therapy, chiropractic, physiotherapy, and cosmetic treatments, Integra Health brings a full spectrum of care under one roof. The goal is high-quality, coordinated healthcare – delivered the way healthcare should be.

integra pic nurse

Q. What does comprehensive wellness mean to Integra Health?

A. It means looking beyond symptoms and considering the full picture – physical, mental, and social health. We support patients through proactive care, whether that’s physiotherapy, nutrition, mental health, or medical treatment. When these elements are integrated, patients see more sustainable improvements and a better quality of life. Wellness isn’t a single visit – it’s an ongoing partnership.

Q. What inspired you to open Integra Health?

A. I saw how challenging it could be for patients to navigate their care when their providers worked independently. People were often managing several appointments across different clinics, trying to keep track of next steps on their own. I wanted to build a place where that experience felt simpler – where care could be coordinated in one environment and patients could feel supported every step of the way. Over the past decade, Integra Health has grown into that vision, offering an integrated model that brings clarity, connection, and ease to the patient experience.

We also wanted to offer more accessible medical support for people who don’t have a family doctor. By providing OHIP-covered appointments with same-day or next-day availability, patients have a reliable place to come for timely concerns that don’t require an emergency visit. It’s about making care easier to access, supporting continuity, and giving people the reassurance of having somewhere dependable to turn when they need it.

Q. How is Integra Health different from other clinics?

A. Collaboration is at the core of everything we do. Our physicians, physiotherapists, dietitians, mental health therapists, and allied health clinicians communicate closely to create coordinated care plans tailored to each patient. This isn’t just about convenience – it’s about better outcomes.

By working together across disciplines, we treat the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. A patient with chronic migraines, for example, may benefit from chiropractic care, nutritional support, and medical oversight. When those providers collaborate, we can address the root contributors to their condition in a more meaningful, sustainable way.

Q. Any final thoughts on why patients should consider Integra Health?

A. We’re building more than a clinic – we’re building a modern healthcare model. By prioritizing access, collabo- ration, and patient-centered care, we help people recover, optimize their health, and feel supported along the way. Whether someone needs medical care without a family doctor, manual therapy, or long-term wellness guidance, we provide an integrated approach that truly works.

At Integra Health, care is designed for patients—not the system. When healthcare is connected, outcomes improve, and patients feel empowered every step of the way.

Toronto actor Kiefer Sutherland trending for all the wrong reasons

Kiefer Sutherland

Toronto-born actor and musician Kiefer Sutherland made headlines this week for all the wrong reasons in Los Angeles following an alleged late-night altercation.

Best known for his iconic role as counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer on the hit TV series 24, Sutherland has long been a familiar face in Hollywood. But despite decades spent working in the U.S., his roots remain firmly in Toronto, where he was born and spent part of his childhood.

That connection is reflected in his music career. In 2022, Sutherland released his third country album, Bloor Street, a nostalgic tribute to his formative years in the city. The album references Toronto landmarks and weaves childhood memories into its songs.

Sutherland comes from one of Canada’s most prominent cultural families. His father was the late Donald Sutherland, one of the country’s most celebrated actors, and his mother was actor and activist Shirley Douglas. He is also the grandson of Tommy Douglas, the former Saskatchewan premier credited with bringing universal health care to Canada.

The brief arrest is an unexpected moment for the Emmy Award–winning star, whose career has included films such as Stand by Me, and The Lost Boys.

According to police reports, the incident happened just after midnight near Sunset Boulevard, where Sutherland was involved in a dispute with a ride-hail driver. Allegedly, there was a physical confrontation and verbal threats, though the driver was not seriously hurt and did not need medical treatment.

Sutherland, 59, was arrested and taken into custody following the incident and later released on bond.
