Are you an awards show fanatic? Do you long for a chance to strut down that red carpet in a fancy tuxedo or evening gown, but lack the talent necessary to get there? Or, do you just like hockey?

David Suzuki, Green Avenger and Captain of Awesome, says that Torontonians have the right to know what pollutants are in the air we're breathing. 75% of the industrial pollution in our urban air is not being disclosed to the public! Save us, Suzuki!

Following the success of gay cowboy epic Brokeback Mountain, it was inevitable that there would be more films about other traditionally uber-hetero occupations considered from a queer POV, and Hollywood desks must have been groaning under stacks of scripts about gay race car drivers, Navy SEALs, and oil patch roughnecks.

My fellow blog readers the state of our blogosphere is HUGE. So huge in fact that according to Technorati there are more than 27 millionblogs. 26 million of them are probably receiving comment spam. But we are under the constant apocalyptic threat of corporations undermining our beautiful information highway....

Rumours are a-fly that the CBC will be back in the house as early as next week. No, we're not referring to the Classic Buick Club or Canadian-Born Chinese or Cold-Blooded Creatures, we're referring to the most-trusted news source in Canada. Torontoist has obtained such information from an ex-CTV producer, via somebody we met on the streetcar yesterday. Sound like an unreliable source followed by an unfounded rumour? Well check your facts, mister:

Dear TSN commentator Pierre McGuire:

After a long-winded “showdown” last night, the big reveal of The Greatest Canadian airs tonight. No matter what the outcome of the CBC’s potentially petard-hoisting populist voting process (Don Cherry? really?), your fashion vote should be for Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The man, not the airport, who romanced Liona and Barbra and Bianca is undisputedly the most charming of the final contenders. This graphic Trudeau Tribute T-shirt, currently on sale for $23.50 and $18.75 from London, ON-based AllMaple Apparel, is equally charming. An evolution of the eponymous online arts magazine, the fledgling line gives the faux-vintage style of Abercrombie & Fitch a polite Canadian whoopin’ -- golf shirts are embroidered not with moose, or wealthy polo playboys, or crocodiles, but with a bona fide Canadian heritage what marketing-savvy graphic designer Garland Lyn did for disco and Ryan McGinness started with his slogan tees. (And the brand name is no misnomer: both the designs and the clothing they’re on are made in Canada.)

Worst and wurst.
