My nine-year-old has become a bit of a burger connoisseur and would like to eat the best burgers in Toronto. We live in Midtown, but would be open to travelling anywhere on the TTC. Any suggestions?

Basically looking for the largest stuffed animal store in the GTA. I want aisles of plush ideally. So many plushies that it would thrill and please even the most picky child.

My friend and I are hosting a small pickleball social in Downsview on May 2. It’s meant to be a relaxed, beginner-friendly way to meet people and try something new, not competitive at all.

We’re keeping it to a small group (around 20 people), with structured rotations so everyone gets an equal chance to play. There will also be a lounge area with some light snacks and drinks, and other games.

You can come solo or with friends. A lot of people usually come alone.

Figured I’d share in case anyone has been looking for something like this lately. Happy to send details if anyone’s interested!

Desperately looking for gynecologist accepting new patients. Doctor is willing to refer but doesn’t know where to send my referral as all the gynaecologists she knows off aren’t accepting new patients (according to my family doc not even Women’s College has openings).

Please help I am desperate and have been asked by my doctor to find a gynecologist to refer me to 😭

Thanks so much in advance :(

Heyo brothers and sisters,

I recently had a rather crazy idea and I'm seriously considering it. My long vacation is in August, and I thought, why not Canada? Flights from Poland (my country) are relatively cheap (for the distance), and I'm very interested in your country, so why not?

However, I have a few questions... The only flight is from Warsaw to Toronto. Since Canada is a huge country and I don't have a driver's license, is it okay to fly there for about a week and a half? Are there any good connection, such as buses or trains, to other cities?

Im a 29-year-old man and I can communicate in English without any problems, but I assume Canada is a relatively safe country, right? My main interests are historical sites, nature, museums, and reading a book in a park.

I apologize because you probably get millions of questions like this, but I would be very grateful for any advice or tips.

Hello everyone,

Reaching out because I’m at a total breaking point and my body is giving up.

I’ve been a supervisor at the same warehouse for 8 years. It’s always been high pressure, but lately, it’s turned toxic.

My health has completely collapsed. I’m only 28, but my BP is spiking to 151/83 most of the days, I’m having crazy heart palpitations (feels like punches in the chest), severe anxiety and I’ve actually fainted a few times.

Lately, I’ve started getting this sharp, pointed pain that flows like electricity through my arms and legs. It’s terrifying.

My GP put me on 100mg Zoloft and Trazodone, and I’ve been on medical leave for a month.

I’ve been on a doctor-mandated medical leave for a month and started 100mg of Zoloft, but the suffocation and anxiety are still overwhelming.

To make things worse, my employer just informed me they are restructuring and moving my job to a different city the day I’m supposed to return.

I don’t feel safe going back. I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack or black out on the warehouse floor. Since my GP is closed until Monday morning, I’m thinking about going straight to CAMH Emergency on Monday morning instead of work.

Has anyone been to CAMH for physical symptoms caused by a toxic job?

• If you’ve gone to CAMH for an emergency assessment, what was the process like? How long did you have to wait to see a doctor?

• What is the wait like at the CAMH?

• Will they actually help with the Conditions like mine?

• Did CAMH provide you with documentation/status letters for your employer or insurance? I’ve been there 8 years and I don’t want to lose my seniority, but I can’t breathe thinking about that place.

I’m really struggling and want to make sure I’m taking the right steps to protect my health and my long-term career. Thank you.

Thank you everyone in advance!!

I really miss those old times before legalization where we had the Sundays square to ourselves for one day! What are some of the bigger outdoor events this year?

Former TO resident back in town for a visit and looking to get together with some old friends in two weeks, looking for a central bar that has a good night life with the 40-60yr old crowd. I have heard Rose and Crown at Yonge and Eg, any other recommended places?

As above :)

Ideally delivers near Yonge and Eglington

Looking for best vegetarian burger without the frozen soy patties (beyond meat); Something like a Black Bean or Veggie Patty

Like groups that discuss/watch films together, anyone heard of anything like that?

Doesn't have too be a walk in the park level trail but not too challenging either, something fun and scenic for a date

Has anyone successfully asked their family doctor for help? Or are there any stores/clinics in the city that can help address my sweat issues. Thank you 🙏🏼

For context - I mainly sweat from my head and face so it’s very noticeable. Walking in the winter with my jacket on for a few minutes already makes me sweaty, it’s even worse during the summer especially when it’s very humid out. My scalp sweats A LOT and it trickles down to my neck and chest. I literally look like I took a shower 🫠

I’m trying to scrap my vehicle and I’ve come across the following companies and I just wanted to get some feedback. I need to get rid of my 2012 civic to get some cash for down payment on a newer vehicle. The dealers offered me $300 which I think is laughable.

1. https://torontoscrapcarremoval.com $1200

2. https://autoheaven.ca $600

3. https://scrapcars.ca $600

I’ve read horror stories about some companies using vehicles for staged accidents, driving around without a license plate plates or with fake license plates.

The first company offered the most, but I’m just curious if it’s a bait and switch situation because the other two were half the price.

I’m looking for some feedback

Curious about some of the city’s oddly named neighborhoods and where those names actually come from. What are some other neighborhoods with names that seem strange or make you question how they ended up being called that?

I'm looking to get seven robes embroidered with people's names for a bachelor party. Any suggestions of a shop in the city that can do this?

saw they’ve been closed for a week or two now does anyone know what’s up with Fusaro’s on Spadina? it’s my favourite tomato sauce and all i’m willing to eat while i’m sick these days 😭 would love to know when they’ll be open again or if i can get in touch with them to just buy the sauce

I’m looking to do an engagement photoshoot and wanted to include my dog in our photos.

Does anyone have recommendations for a photographer that has experience with this?

Any recommendations for henna brow tinting in Toronto?

It's been a couple of decades since I last went to the ROM as a kid myself. My kids (7&8) have been asking to go to see the Egyptian exhibit. How much time would you anticipate it takes going through the museum, and is there much for kids to be interested in?
