The city of Paris has recently been courting tourists from London, England with a new series of ads that look like this:

Torontoist has had a long history of critiquing Tourism Toronto's lackluster ad campaigns. Remember Toronto Unlimited? We had a field day with that one. And those awful Live With Culture ads? Yuck.

Just like Will Smith circa 1998, Tourism Toronto is going to Miami.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Canada Council for the Arts, the organization wants us to get involved in their "50 for 50" Arts Challenge. Canadians are invited to meet the challenge by engaging in 50 arts-related activities over the course of the year.

Eglinton Station, renowned for its creepy washrooms, is also this month's culture station for the Live With Culture 05/06 campaign. And aside from the controversial public space buy-back problems, the station looks a-okay. Above we have the entire west side of Yonge Street, taken strip by strip.

Mayor Miller unveiled plans for his 16-month TO arts public relations venture yesterday, oddly titled 'Live With Culture.' Naturally, this venture has a website. Ultimately, Livewithculture.ca will offer free entertainment listings, but for now its just an info page about the mayor and his monumental adventure in arts and crafts. Some of the other events tied to 'live with culture' do seem pretty cool - a 40th anniversary of City Hall photo retrospective, and a month of visual and performing arts in the subway. And somehow this experiment in cultural boosterism is also supposed to create 2,000 new jobs in the city. We'll live with a performance artist if it means new jobs for the city.
