So, you may have noticed it snowed this weekend. If you don't believe us, go check out the Toronto Star's website, where nine out of ten local stories are about the snow, people dealing with the snow, and celebrities talking about the snow. Notably absent among them: the probable cause for all of this snow. Rare meteor lands somewhere near Georgian Bay. This would as opposed to the common, everyday type of meteor that......

Happy New Year! Thousands of GTA-ians jammed Nathan Phillips Square to watch CIty TV's tiny perfect anchorman Gord Martineau host his 75th New Year's bash. Thousands more did not. Toronto also rang in the new year with another snowstorm, which is expected to continue all day and inflict up to 10 cm of inconvenience on the city. Stupid climate change. Today the GST drops by a penny to 5%, meaning that the shwarma you......

Donald Trump's Toronto hotel will only be 57 storeys, rather than 70. Experts explain that this is because Donald Trump's penis is smaller than previously believed. (Extra hilarity from The Donald's spokesperson: "The more residents we had, the more the elevators were going to be used and that wasn't what we wanted in an exclusive building like the Trump." Yes. Pity the poor, poor elevators. You have to know that Donald Trump worries about the......

Sometimes you have to wonder what they're thinking down on Queen Street. First there was MuchMusic, "The Nation's Music Station." Remember when you were growing up and you told all your American friends how much cooler -how much more REAL it was than MTV? Well, then it kinda stopped playing music (just like MTV) so they brought in Much More Music which played LESS music than the old MuchMusic but more than the current MuchMusic,......

We here at Torontoist on the whole like unions. But in this case we're distraught that you would think about illegally walking out of your jobs at midnight and in the process take out our schools, snow ploughs, and half-a-dozen other services. Frankly your language sounds like posturing and a lot of bluster. It's also a move that would hurt your organization. ""We are coming out of this room today, the one thing that will......

In a surprise decision, Torontoist Dream-girl Jennifer Schefft rejected both John-Paul and Jerry in the Bachelorette finale Monday evening, therefore leaving the door open to a future romance with yours truly. The first stage of the three-hour extravaganza took both boys to Jen’s hometown of Chicago to meet with her family and friends. After receiving little help in the way of decision-making, the trio headed back to New York, where Jen was faced with dueling......

It cost six hundred million in taxpayer dollars to construct, but now just a decade and a half later the Skydome has been sold for the rock-bottom price of $25 million. This marks the third time the dumb-looking sports facility has exchanged hands, with the owner of the inhabiting Blue Jays, Rogers Media, taking over. The real estate alone has to be worth that money. Really, Ted Rogers should move the Jays back to Exhibition......

At a party last Saturday night, I ended all my conversations with the snappy phrase, "You're Fired!" I thought this was a pretty funny way to exit a conversation, what with the popularity of the Donald Trump's new show The Apprentice. You see, in The Apprentice, Trump asks losing contestants to leave the show by telling them "you're fired" at the end of each episode. So I just took the line "you're fired" and put......
