We love Word on the Street but we always find there's way too much to do. So we've scoured the WOTS program and picked out the three things that you should try to hit up this Sunday at Queen's Park. Best of all, the whole event is free. 1) Margaret Atwood and the Long Pen (The Long Pen Tent, reading at 11am, signing all-day) Hear the grand dame of CanLit read from her new book.......

Katrina Onstad and Leah McLaren aren't the only female Toronto journalists penning autobiographically inspired works of literature. The insightful Lynn Crosbie is releasing her much anticipated new book Liar. Excerpts that Torontoist has read left us thinking about our own failed relationships, on the nature of love, betrayal and the cruelties that men and women inflict on each other. Perfect when you're sick and tired of watching cheesy rom-coms. The inspiration for this heavy new......

Canada AM's Seamus O'Regan might want to wear a black and white ref's jersey just in case a fight breaks out between the two of them, seeing how Onstad makes not so veiled insults at McLaren in her new book.

Links include: - Canadian wins big at that awards show. Frulla must be so happy. - CBC Watch: Katrina Onstad has a very funny blog-type thing going on about last night. - Hold up! There's a new blog in town. The Toronto Sledding Society brings the joys of tobogganing......

It's finally here. The revamped national arts and culture multimedia portal we've been waiting for...CBC Arts. While TOist hasn't actually been losing sleep anticipating the debut of the revamped site, we have been eagerly awaiting its unveiling. We had an inkling of what it might look like, because our own debut interview, Antony Hare, had some CBC arts portal designs up on his site. But we quickly brushed what we'd seen from our mind, wanting......
