It’s that time of year again: Tim Hortons has unveiled its new holiday menu, and it’s packed with both brand-new festive treats and returning holiday favourites.

For 2024, the Tim Hortons holiday menu is bringing back some holiday fan faves, including a whole lineup of non-alcoholic Baileys-flavoured drinks and treats. That’s right — you can once again enjoy Baileys-infused favourites like the Baileys Cream Coffee, Baileys Latte, Baileys Cold Brew, Baileys Iced Capp and Baileys Boston Cream Dream Donut, as well as the all-new Baileys Dream Hot Chocolate.

Tims isn’t stopping with the Baileys-inspired offerings, though. Other festive treats this year include the Caramel Brownie Filled Ring Dream Donut, Hot Chocolate Muffin and the return of the iconic Candy Cane Hot Chocolate lineup.

Plus, if you’re looking for stocking stuffers for the Timmies lover in your life, the coffee chain has you covered with gift items ranging from Tims-themed ornaments and snow globes to donut-scented candles and holiday apparel, including a pyjama set and even a Timbits sweater.

In addition to the festive seasonal menu, the brand is also bringing back the Holiday Smile Cookie campaign, running from November 18 to 24. During this time, 100% of the proceeds from every Holiday Smile Cookie purchased will be donated to local charities and community groups across Canada. If that’s not a feel-good holiday vibe, we don’t know what is!

Whether you’re picking up a Baileys-flavoured latte or just stopping in to grab a Nutella Croissant (yes, Nutella treats are sticking around too), Tim Hortons’ holiday lineup is here to make the season a little sweeter.

While campaigning, President-elect Donald Trump repeatedly threatened to dismantle the US Department of Education (DOE), on the basis that the federal education apparatus is “indoctrinating young people with inappropriate racial, sexual, and political material.”  “One thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, DC, and […]

Some good news for Canadian renters: nationally, rent prices are on the decline for the first time in years — but the trend seems to have skipped over Montreal.

According to Zumper’s November 2024 Canadian Rent Report, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment dropped year-over-year across Canada in October, marking the decline since Zumper first introduced its Canadian National Rent Index in July 2022. However, cities in Quebec bucked the trend, with Montreal rent climbing by 10.1% for a one-bedroom and 8.1% for a two-bedroom compared to last year.

The data from October highlights shifting dynamics in the Canadian rental market, with many smaller cities seeing price jumps while larger, more traditionally more expensive cities experience declines.

According to Zumper, the average rent in Montreal is now $1,750 per month for a one-bedroom, placing it in a three-way tie with Calgary and Kingston for Canada’s 11th priciest market. Zumper’s data suggests that while Montreal remains somewhat more affordable than markets like Vancouver and Toronto, it’s no longer the budget-friendly city it used to be.

Canada’s most expensive rental markets in Vancouver, Toronto and Burnaby all saw rent declines in October. Zumper reports Vancouver’s one-bedroom rents fell 6.5% year-over-year, while its next-door neighbour Burnaby’s dipped 6.3%. Toronto saw a similar dip, dropping 5.9% from last year.

Meanwhile, the country’s traditionally more affordable cities are experiencing fast-rising rent costs. Saskatoon, for example, saw the biggest annual one-bedroom price hike, jumping 16.8% in October. Edmonton followed at 16.7%, as did Quebec City at 16.3%.

Here’s how Montreal’s one-bedroom rent compares nationally with the other top markets, as well as each city’s year-over-year change:

1. Vancouver, BC: $2,600 (-6.5%)
2. Toronto, ON: $2,400 (-5.9%)
3. Burnaby, BC: $2,380 (-6.3%)
4. Victoria, BC: $2,110 (+1.0%)
5. Halifax, NS: $2,100 (+6.1%)
6. Ottawa, ON: $2,010 (+2.6%)
7. Kelowna, BC: $2,000 (+2.6%)
8. Barrie, ON: $1,960 (+8.9%)
9. Kitchener, ON: $1,850 (-5.6%)
9. Oshawa, ON: $1,850 (-1.6%)
11. Calgary, AB: $1,750 (-7.4%)
11. Kingston, ON: $1,750 (+2.3%)
11. Montreal, QC: $1,750 (+10.1%)
14. London, ON: $1,740 (+3.0%)
15. Hamilton, ON: $1,700 (-2.9%)

For Montreal renters, it’s clear that while the city remains a bit more accessible than Canada’s most costly metros, rising rents are something to keep an eye on as we head into 2025.
