Toronto Ski & Snowboard Show Starts Today
If you’re one of those people who, all winter long, talk of nothing but the crappy weather there might be something you can do to turn that frown upside down: snowboarding. All summer long while everyone talks about how beautiful it is I’m secretly wishing snow would fall, and keep falling.

A Greener Cause
This is what I love about politics. There’s a whole lot of talk about what’s right and wrong but when it comes down to it it’s really all about action.
Last election I did my research to see how much (or how little) the political parties in my riding, Parkdale - High Park, were doing [...]

Winehouse Off the Record: New Line Up for Virgin Fest
I’ve been sitting on the edge of the fence, deciding whether I wanna pay my $80, for day one of Virgin Festival on Toronto Island September 8th. I would’ve gone for Amy Winehouse and Bjork but now the bitchy crooner has dropped out and I don’t feel like paying the bucks to see cute little [...]

Who Doesn’t Love a Little S’Mac?
I’ve been eating mac and cheese since I was a key kid and, as Gridskipper’s Chris Mohney puts it best, I expect to be gumming it down well into my dotage. The best place for the chewy cheese in Toronto is, hands down, Freshwood Grill on Roncesvalles. Made with four cheeses, fun spiral [...]
