People queue up for a chance at a condo. The condos at One Bloor Street East range from $300K to $2 million, so remember, kids: lines aren't just for poor people and the Nintendo Wii any more! Loonie breaks a buck ten American. It's funny because last week when Torontoist mentioned the loonie-rising story, economists were all "well it'll probably hit a dollar-ten eventually" and it seems "eventually" was "less than a week."

Spitfires & Mayflowers launch their triumphant CD with a party this evening. They promise a night full of "helium balloons, The Barmitzvah Brothers, cupcakes, The Decoy Mile, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, MC "eye coverboy" Nick Flanagan, handslaps" and more.

Raptor Coach Sam Mitchell had some strong words prior to Wednesday’s 110-107 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. In clarifying Tuesday’s night’s rumored altercation with point guard Rafer Alston, Mitchell called out the Gund Arena cleaning crew for keeping a messy house. "I laugh at the fact that it went from shouting to I was actually rolling around on the floor with my nice suit on," said Mitchell. "I don't do that anymore. I'm a little......

Not to be left out of our collective goodwill, athletes across the world have rushed help with aid to the tsunami-devastated regions of southern Asia. Following the lead of many tennis and soccer stars, the “Biggest Private Donation Ever” was submitted by F1 champion Michael Schumacher during a German telethon Tuesday evening. The Ferrari driver has pledged US$10 million to his country’s world-leading effort. The NBA, with the contribution of Raptor guard Jalen Rose, is......
