How to Make Money on Airbnb During the FIFA World Cup 2026

  The Biggest Money Opportunity in Canada This Summer Is Sitting Right in Your Home If you live in Toronto or Vancouver, you're sitting on one of the best short-term income opportunities Canadians have seen in years — and you only have a few weeks left to take advantage of it. The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11 , and Toronto is hosting six matches at BMO Field (June 12, 17, 20, 23, 26, and July 2), including the historic first-ever men's FIFA World Cup match on Canadian soil. Over 146,000 visitors are expected to flood into Toronto for the games — and they all need somewhere to sleep. Airbnb searches for stays in Toronto and Vancouver have already surged 80% compared to last year . Hotels have jacked up prices by as much as 78%. That means short-term rental hosts who are ready can charge serious rates — and Airbnb is even sweetening the deal with a cash bonus for new hosts.

LCBO Stores Set to Reopen Tuesday After Resolving Last-Minute Dispute

 

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) have resolved a last-minute dispute, paving the way for LCBO stores to reopen on Tuesday. This resolution comes after a two-week strike that saw over 9,000 workers walk off the job.

The tentative agreement, reached on Friday, initially hit a snag when the union and the LCBO disagreed over the return-to-work protocol. The LCBO accused the union of introducing new monetary demands, while the union maintained that their demands were standard and had been used in previous strikes.

Despite the initial impasse, both parties confirmed on Saturday morning that the dispute had been resolved. Voting on the tentative deal is set to occur over the weekend, and if ratified, unionized workers will return to work on Monday, with stores reopening to the public on Tuesday.

The agreement includes an eight-percent pay raise over three years, the conversion of 1,000 casual employees to permanent part-time status, and the hiring of 60 additional full-time employees in warehouse operations. Additionally, there will be no store closures for the duration of the deal.

A significant point of contention was the expansion of ready-to-drink beverages into grocery and convenience stores. The Ford government expedited this timeline, allowing licensed Ontario grocery stores to sell these beverages ahead of schedule. A non-binding committee will be formed to determine the best way to implement these plans.

With the resolution of this dispute, Ontarians can look forward to shopping at LCBO stores again, knowing that their purchases support public services.
