Populist: September 10–16

We publish a lot of articles on Torontoist, and sometimes it's hard to keep up. Populist is a weekly recap, appearing every Sunday night, that features some of the coolest, most interesting, most commented, and most recommended posts from our past week.

• First and foremost, this week saw the Toronto International Film Festival get into full swing, with Mathew Kumar leading the way for Torontoist's coverage. A fun––but totally exhausting––week.
• Karen Whaley used the work of talented members of our Flickr pool to post photos of all of your favourite celebrities at TIFF.
• Julie Reitsma compared Mac N' Cheeses (Cheeses'? Cheese's?) to find the best––and, no surprise, President's Choice wins, hands down (this week's most commented post).
• Rebecca Pardo discovered an eeerrriee coincidence: right as the CN Tower lost its thirty-year stranglehold on the title of the world's tallest free-standing structure, the loonie hit a thirty-year high.
• Stephen Johns decided to depress every sports fan in the city, with two articles examining the futility of the Blue Jays and the Varsity Blues (a tie for this week's most recommended post). You could say he made us all blue. (Har har.)
• David Topping covered the TTC's announcement of its fare hike, and revealed some data from Torontoist's own TTC survey: first, an all-encompassing summary of our results and then some of the most interesting "My TTC Is..." responses (a tie for this week's most recommended post).
• Mathew Katz continued his look at the upcoming provincial election with everyone's favourite issue, Education. If you're still ambivalent about that whole "Mixed Member Proportional" thing, check out Chris Tindal's article from this past May.
• Sam Sutherland reviewed day two of V-Fest, complete with obligatory Metric slam: "If cocaine and dancing are your bag, this was probably awesome."
