Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

• Toronto was aTwitter today with talk of mayoral inspiration—coming not from Rob Ford, but slightly further afield. Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi is in town, and his speeches have many here swooning. This morning he was on CBC radio, so you can listen away.
• Walrus chief John Macfarlane addresses the “Plight of Canadian Cities” in his editor’s note in the January/February edition of the magazine. Shockingly, it turns out it may take more than one very promising mayor to improve the lot of this country’s urban centres.
• Know someone who is young (under the age of twenty-seven), LGBTQ, and artsy-entrepreneurial? Applications for the new Spirit of Will Munro Award are now open; $10,000 will be awarded to help “establish an event, project, organization or business at the local level that uses the arts and provides youth-friendly, sustainable community growth for LGBTQ people.” [via Justin Stayshyn]
• And finally, the Toronto Star reports that “researchers at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management found that women who win Oscars in the Best Actress category faced a much greater risk of divorce than…the losing Best Actress nominees.” See Sandra: it wasn’t you or him, it was the shiny hardware.
