Hey, it's snowing. Crazy! A tangled web of relationship intrigue baffles the investigators of a Markham double homicide. After reading this article three times, I still can't figure out who was married to who and who was having what affairs... ...and on that note, Happy Valentine's Day. With a similarly macabre look at love, a late Neolithic couple found buried together outside of Mantua will not be separated because, well, they're just too adorable.......

We already mentioned it in our news round-up but we thought we’d share with you this lovely picture of the assembled filmmakers and cast of Canada’s Top Ten films of 2006. Held at the Revival nightclub on College St. (as last year) By the Toronto International Film Festival Group, the event was hosted by Sylvie Moreau and, (yes!) Dave Foley, who were actually excellent hosts that seemed to have a good understanding of the......

The United States heads to the United Nations hoping for a UN resolution that will impose sanctions on North Korea. And North Korea threatens retaliation if Japan goes ahead and imposes sanctions in response to last weekend’s nuclear test. And George W. Bush denies......

In today's news, Canada joins the global chorus in support of sanctions against North Korea as it threatens more nuclear tests. Korea promises to greet sanctions as an act of war. The US says it won't invade and wonders what more the dictatorship wants. The Toronto Korean Senior Citizen's society and Canadians teaching English in North Korea are nervous. Toronto Police Union head Dave Wilson was re-elected by a narrow margin of 24 votes yesterday.......

OK, d'accord, comme promis, without compromise, we have right here your revue franglais de Bon Cop Bad Cop. Compris? Le film commence avec le discovery d'un body sprawled across la frontière du Québec and l'Ontario like a grim metaphor for the last 10 years de Torontoist(e)'s life. Say ce qu'tu veux du film, but we may never look at that sign on la 401 the same way again. L'offering s'agit d'un 'cop movie' cliché......

Your first choice should be, because you are a PATRIOT, something Canadian (natch). And we have to say when Torontoist first saw the trailer for Bon Cop Bad Cop, a two fish swapping water buddy cop flick set in both Ontario......
