There's a site by the name of Urinal.net that posts pictures of urinals from around the world. Apparently, there's demand for this kind of detail. They've even been profiled in Maxim magazine. A recent addition to this vast collection of urinals was those from our very own airport, Toronto
We Torontonians vote in our municipal election tomorrow. Just in case this fact slipped my mind, a nice lady from the David Miller camp just called to let me know the polls will be busy so I should get there as early as possible. I told her I planned to
I've had The Toronto Star delivered to my home for as long as I can remember. Of the four Toronto dailies, it's always been my preference. I've tried the Toronto Sun , The National Post and The Globe and Mail, but none offer that desired balance of news, sports, entertainment and
I have never lived EoY. In fact, whenever possible, I avoid EoY completely. This has been the case my entire life. Whether it's going to school, a movie theatre, out to dinner, shopping, for a bike ride or even to a concert or sporting event, I am least comfortable when

24 hours and 12 minutes. That's how long the power was off at my humble abode. Of course, the worst black out in North American history had to strike just when our food supply was at its lowest. Already due for a trip to the grocery store, it was quite
Today is SARSstock. As I write this, the gates to Downsview Park are opening and thousands of people are streaming in to secure themselves a good spot. Up to 450,000 people are expected making this the largest ticketed concert in North American history. Initially, I wasn't particularly interested. I
I'm a proud Canadian, but I'm even a prouder Torontonian. That's why I'm not afraid to admit I was rooting against Vancouver's bid to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. As everyone knows by now, Vancouver narrowly beat out PyeongChang to win the IOC vote. Why was I rooting against Vancouver?

SARS Update: From the eye of the storm The World Health Organization has just issued a warning against travelling to Toronto. Don't travel to Toronto unless it's essential, they say.
