Torontoist doesn't partake of enough wacky pastimes. This picture, of a Clusterballooner, makes our complete lack of an adventure gene painfully clear. Yesterday was one of the clearest days we'd seen in a while, a day so crisp you could even see the ugly bank logos gleaming atop their respective towers. In short, a perfect day for clusterballooning. Speaking of clusterballooning, the first balloon artist to come up with the idea of tying four decorative......

Tommy Douglas may be CBC's Greatest Canadian but he wouldn't make the top three in his own province. Heck, with the popularity of Canadian Idol runner-up, Theresa Sokyrka , he might be bumped another spot. At No. 3 would be a certain folk singer who attended Aden Bowman high school and whose paintings have been exhibited in Saskatoon's Mendel Art Gallery. At No. 2, Floral, SK's Mr. Hockey. And topping the list would be the......

We're late on this, we know. Asleep at the wheel, Torontoist neglected to post this pic of a Giller gown worn by Fine Print host Carolyn Weaver to the award ceremony. We don't know what to say except why? Also, why, why, and why? Torontoist is happy that Ms. Weaver wants to bring a bit of glam to the ceremonies, but is this garish ensemble the way to go about it? And is she wearing......

A chill wind blows through Toronto's western suburbs this evening as Mississauguans come to terms with the fact that access to the Liberal pork barrel is no longer theirs to enjoy. Famed wild card MP, and apparent vodoun houngan, Carolyn Parrish has been pushed out of the Liberal Party gulfstream with an Acme anvil in her parachute sack. While probably even the least politically-attuned citizen of Badger Rectum, SK was aware that Mme. Parrish's hangin'......

President George W. Bush is expected to make his first stately visit to Canadian soil later this month, causing some concern in our nation's capital. As previously reported on Torontoist, a certain federal MP (that's you Carolyn Parrish!) has ridiculed the sitting president and his allies on multiple occasions, one time even calling American people "bastards." While it is confirmed Bush will come to Ottawa on Nov. 30 for a two-day visit, it is not......

In honour of Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish's spate of America-bashing, Torontoist feels compelled to add to the incendiary mood with a link to this piece about increasing fuel costs and American fattery. Maybe this is why Air Canada chose to hire the frighteningly stickish Celine Dion as its post-bankruptcy spokesgal - fatties need not apply to fly. But back to Parrish's inflammatory parliament turn. Torontoist agrees that there's much to fear in four more years......
