A new poll shows that the majority of Canadians will call the cops on you if your party is too loud. Thus proving once and for all that we are a nation of killjoys. GO buses will run over the holidays. So, no sense worrying about a strike interfering with your vacation, commuters! (Your job, on the other hand, may well be screwed.) Stephen Harper's latest excuse for not doing enough to combat climate......

Photo by natmeister from Flickr. With all the readily accessible gourmet-quality food on offer here in Toronto, we have quickly become a city of foodies, expounding the joys of this boîte, this bar, and that beanery. Unfortunately, as travel season gets into its fullest swing, we urban folk may find ourselves in an airport lounge or even somewhere outside of Trenton on the 401, at a service centre, hungry, and with limited choices. The......

SpongeBob has had a rough year. As we reported earlier, his likeness was lifted from Burger King's across America.

It's official. Should you want to take that Ontario ice wine you've been saving for a special occasion out to dinner with you, you now can. The province decided to follow Quebec, New Brunswick, Alberta and B.C. in changing the legislation to entice more restaurant customers to come in from the cold, bottle in tow. It's about time, thinks Torontoist. Taking Chateau Diana to Burger King just got that much easier. We kid. Fast food......

Now that the much-maligned Rochester ferry has been ferried off to jumbo catamaran neverland, Torontonians may find it difficult to commit the grave Spongebob felonies that have gripped Burger King's latest US film tie-in promotion. BK's across the country have been given 10-ft inflatable Spongebobs to decorate their buildings. But, and this is a real shocker, people are stealing up to the fast food chain and making off with these Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade-size toys......
