Passports Ahoy, Mehta And Gosling For The Win, McGuinty For Punjabi Prom King, Bend Over

By Karen Whaley


Starting today, you must have a passport to fly from Canada to the U.S. If you’re dead set on clearing customs, it might be best to leave your anti-Bush shirts at home.
After years of anticipation, the Robert Pickton trial is shaping up to be just as horrific as everyone imagined. The trial is expected to carry on for a year, giving the winged fire demons enough time to furnish Pickton’s own special place in hell.
Oscar smiles on Canada: Toronto-based filmmaker Deepa Mehta’s Water was nominated for Best Foreign Film, and Ryan Gosling received a Best Actor nod for his role in Half Nelson. Gosling is up against Leonardo DiCaprio, Peter O’Toole, Will Smith and Forest Whitaker and thus will be an unlikely winner, but it’s a big step for the former Young Hercules.
For some inexplicable reason, Dalton McGuinty was the most popular guy in Punjab over the weekend. Maybe someone tipped off the Pakistani press that the guy who played Norman Bates in Psycho was in town. The resemblance is uncanny.
Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman unveiled a plan yesterday to promote colorectal cancer testing for men over age 50. So call your doctor and get your butt checked.

    Does anyone remember Gosling from “Breaker High”, the teen TV show about a high school on a Cruise Ship.
    Ewww.

    I was strangely addicted to Breaker High in university…it was the only thing on when I was eating breakfast before getting ready for class. Oh Sean and Jimmy! I think Ryan Gosling might be the only cast member still acting these days.

    The most amazing news to me is how 96% of air-traveling Canadians have passports, while only 27% of Americans do. What’s the deal with that?!

  • Sean Hanlon

    Tyler Labine and Rachel Wilson are still kickin it. Not like Gosling, but who is? Oh and check out what Scott Vickaryous was just in. Priceless.

    I was a raging Ryan Gosling and Breaker High fan, which is why if there is anything that can be remotely tied to Mr. Gosling in the news, it will be included in the news round up. I PROMISE YOU THIS.

    I thought that after the September 11th thing everyone needed passports when flying into the USA. When I flew to Hong Kong via Alaska in 2002, US customs made everyone get off the plane, go through customs, and get back on the plane. (No one was getting off in Alaska, the entire flight was bound for Hong Kong.) What gives?

    Wow, I thought only I was seeing the Bates/McGuinty resemblence; although, when I’d point it out to people, they’d always agree!
