It’s the last free coffee day for truckers at Onroutes along the 401 and 400.

All 23 ONroute locations on will be providing free coffee for truckers all day, as a thank you for maintaining the provincial and national supply chain during the COVID-19 crisis. The free coffee for truckers will be offered every Wednesday for the last month.

The CNE is one of largest fairs in North America and sees more than 1.4 million visitors each year.


Mitsubishi has developed a new app that allows users to summon elevators.

The app means people won’t have to touch germ-laden elevator buttons.

With the application, users who have passed their entrance security checkpoint have the ability to call an elevator remotely from anywhere in the building, using the app. The application displays your assigned elevator, its current status and alerts the passenger as the elevator car approaches to assist in touch-free, smooth boarding.


Have you seen this hack for cereal boxes online.

Someone on TikTok showed that if you fold the flaps a certain way, it creates a more satisfying seal at the top.

First you tuck the two side tabs in. Then you fold in one of the bigger tabs. You have to push on the sides near the top of the box, so they fold in half and create a point at the top. Then you fold the last tab in, and that’s it.

People with OCD are loving it.
