Fare hike approved by the TTC to come into effect April 1. (No, it’s not an April Fool’s joke.)
$10
Cost of a shot of Botox at Shoppers Drug Mart’s new beauty clinic in Oakville—the first of two non-surgical skincare treatment centres scheduled to open in the GTA this year.
$27.50
Retail price of a Canadian Coat of Arms sweater from former mayoral candidate Faith Goldy’s “heritage line,” which she launched after the Superior Court ordered her to repay Bell Media $43,000 in legal fees. As it turns out, using the official Coat of Arms for commercial gain is illegal, and her online store has since shut down.

$200,000
Estimated value of an original A.Y. Jackson painting stolen from an Annex home during a break-and-enter.

Average cost of a house in the vicinity of York Mills station—Toronto’s most expensive subway station to live near, according to new data from real estate website Zoocasa.
$10,000,000

$79,000,000
Total “unknown cuts” and unsecured funding needed to balance the 2019 city budget.
