Toronto’s extensive work on the silver screen reveals that, while we have the chameleonic ability to look like anywhere from New York City to Moscow, the disguise doesn’t always hold up to scrutiny. Reel Toronto revels in digging up and displaying the films that attempt to mask, hide, or—in rare cases—proudly display our city.

Happy days are here again, it's Wednesday! Do the Hump Day dance! Well, no. Actually, don't, you might get charged with a crime and end up on a registry for the rest of your life. Instead, read some nice, harassment-free news: Pride funding may be in jeopardy; one city councillor says the mayor isn't doing his job (no word on how many other councillors are thinking it); more chunks of concrete crumble off the Gardiner Expressway; the royals have come and gone; ball hockey is prohibited on Toronto streets (what?!) but maybe not for long (phew) but it's not as simple as you think (what?!); a new cause for NIMBYs: the proposed casino; and Toronto's newest multimillionaire.

Dust off those white shoes, starch those cream-coloured capris, and pour yourself a nice, cool bevy right out of that 2-4. It's Victoria Day! Hurray! Also happening: a new campaign promise made (or an old one broken?) by the (already in office) mayor; 2025's World Expo could be landing at our waterfront if one city councillor has her way; a new report suggests that police were provoked and attacked at the 2010 G20; and valuable information for Toronto's royal watchers.
