Photos by Miles Storey Whatever the critical analysis of Earth Hour last night—Toronto Hydro is reporting a 9% drop in power during the hour—its success seems assured by the large number of people who attended events and the awareness generated. Walking around downtown, there was a palpable buzz that Torontoist hasn't felt in the city since Nuit Blanche. In addition to the free concert in Nathan Phillips Square, there were successful gatherings all around...

Over a thousand demonstrators marched through downtown Toronto Sunday in an emotional protest to demand freedom for Tibet and to draw attention to recent crackdowns by Chinese forces that have reportedly resulted in the deaths of over 100 Tibetans. With international attention focused on China and the upcoming Olympics in Beijing organizers called for Canadian politicians to boycott the opening ceremonies....

Meanwhile, the site has emerged from a blanket of snow and ice revealing what little remains of the businesses and homes razed by the fire. Photo by Miles Storey....

Photo by exMOHAX Led by the group Anonymous and their ongoing campaign against the Church of Scientology, Project Chanology, protesters gathered outside the church's Toronto headquarters on Sunday to mark Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's birthday. It was the second such worldwide protest in just over a month; the last protest—a surprisingly massive one—took place on February 10th.

It's long been clear that the TTC would never spend taxpayer dollars on such frills as copy editors or proofreaders (the recent "Transit Security Tips" brochure implores you to inform the authorities "if you are the victum of a crime"), but given that each of their members is Worth a Million—and the fact that their ads are four feet by six feet—we really expected ATU Local 113 to splurge for a second set of...

"Stop the torture—end the war," read one colourful placard at Queen's Park. "End the siege of Gaza," read another. Voicing solid opposition against the war in Afghanistan and the occupation of Iraq, immense columns of demonstrators took over Queen's Park and Bloor Street on Saturday. "From Iraq to Palestine," they shouted, "occupation is a crime!" When the demonstration reached the heart of Yorkville, you could imagine the neighbourhood's original war resisters seized by the...

We wouldn't suggest for a second that the competition between Bell and Rogers has gotten so fierce that Rogers has resorted to cutting its rival's cables to pick up new subscribers. We're sure it was just an accident. An accident that happened often enough to prompt someone to tape this note to a utility box in front of an East York house. Doesn't Rogers call before they dig? Tellingly, Rogers is one of the...

The hosts of Re-Inventors, Jeremy MacPherson and Matt Hunter, put one of their "re-inventions" to the test against Olivier Jean, a speed skater and Olympic hopeful, at the Ricoh Coliseum this week. The propeller strapped to MacPherson's back was based on a patent registered in 1948 by Horace M. Morrill, who intended the device to "provide a portable manually supported propelling unit" for people on skates, boats or bicycles. The race, a promotional event...

Photo by Jonathan Goldsbie. According to a December 2004 article in the Globe, Mike Harris is (or at least was at the time) the chairman of video advertising company Onestop; he got on board "in return for an equity stake" in the business. Presuming that he still has that stake (and why wouldn't he? he may be evil, but he's not stupid), Harris became a richer man two weeks ago, when the Toronto Transit...
