Well, it's about time. Two years after launching downloadable television shows south of the border, Apple has finally flipped the switch here, albeit with a dearth of content. Single television episodes are available via iTunes for $1.99, and full seasons range from about $10–$30. Most of the shows currently available are for domestic productions, like CTV's Degrassi: The Next Generation and the CBC series Little Mosque on the Prairie, but non-Canadian shows, like South......

Though "Karen" has a large stable of drooling fans with cop kinks, the spring issue of Lush brings us Spencer-Nairn out of uniform and as fashion-hot as a smoking Glock 22.

Previous to tonight's premiere episode, Torontoist's sole opinion on Little Mosque was that it made a great excuse for the CBC to give away lots of shawarma. (In the presence of camels, of course. Because you can't spell "shawarma" without "camels.") Of course, the media shitstorm that's been building up to the......

In order to promote their new show, Little Mosque On The Prairie, the CBC organized what they called "the World's Biggest Halal Shawarma Sandwich" -- a 300-pound shawarma, right in the middle of Dundas Square. Torontoist loves good street threatre and it loves free food, and this provided both, so why not go? Heck, there were camels and everything. Nothing says "entertainment" like camels!......

Hungry Torontonians are no stranger to shawarma. Simply a rotating column of chicken, beef or lamb, it is arguably the best food import from the Middle East since domesticated wheat (and that's a good 5000 years!). To celebrate the premier of their new comedy, Little Mosque on the Prairie, CBC is serving up "The World's Largest Halal Chicken Shawarma" in Yonge and Dundas Square on Thursday, January 4 after a press meeting with the......
