After Monday’s victory in the annual Labour Day Classic, the Toronto Argonauts (3-6) host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1-8) in the second half of the home-and-home series on Saturday at the Rogers Centre. It might not seem like the greatest match-up, with both teams fighting it out for last place in the league, and the abysmal Ti-Cats having beaten the Argos only once in their last seventeen regular season encounters. But the two teams, who......

It's Labour Day, so a special shout-out to all the sweatshop workers who won't be reading this because they're working today and can't afford a computer on 21 cents an hour anyway. Thanks for all the cheap clothes, guys. The Star reports that the suspect in whose car police found three bombs on Friday was described by his landlord as "unstable." Ya think? Time to rethink those cross-border shopping plans—increased security checks at border......

Torontoist loves a long weekend, but Labour Day has always felt bittersweet since it signals the beginning of the end of summer. Autumn doesn’t technically begin until September 23rd, but the city becomes a different place after Labour Day. Students return to school, other folks return to work, and don’t you even think of wearing white. Just remember that Labour Day is for you. Fire up the BBQ and crack open a cold one.......

With Labour Day having come and gone, and autumn's chill making too many appearances, Toronto's waterfront is now just a memory of a summer fling. Who are we kidding... even during the summer the waterfront leaves much to be desired. However, with the summer's announcement of West 8's winning waterfront revitalization design, who knows... perhaps this time something will actually happen! Regardless, before breaking any major ground on the project, the waterfront's future is still......

It's the last long weekend of the summer, and if you're anything like me, you're dreaming of getting out from under the sonic booms intruding into your solitude (such is living next to the CNE and it's traditional Labour Day Weekend air show). I lived in the Niagara Region for a few years, and though it lacks the hustle and bustle (and sonic booms) of the big city, there was never a lack of things......

Shakespeare in the Rough's production of Antony & Cleopatra (directed by Ruth Madoc-Jones) is taking place in Withrow Park from Saturday August 5 to Labour Day, Monday, September 4.

Admission is pay what you can, with a......

Individual tickets for shows at the festival go on sale today, and Torontoist will admit that we’re a little behind on our TIFF programme previews (who puts a festival straight after Labour Day, eh?) So we’re going to speed it up a bit, with coverage of the ‘big’ films – the Galas and Masters today and we’ll clear up the rest over the next couple of days. If you seriously fancy any of the......

Marching in the Labour Day parade along Queen Street yesterday, a portly union guy stops in front of the beer store, and says: We're gonna lose a lot of good men here today.......

Everyone loves a pretty summer skirt. But with autumn fast-approaching, early adopters are ringing the death knell of the boho-Bobo thing (what, are they itching for an excuse to run out and by a new wardrobe already?). But Torontoist disagrees: as long as the hot weather holds, the look has a few more weeks in it (until Labour Day, at least). Even with all the sales around T.O., the best score on a full, flowy,......
