SPORTS: It's Labour Day weekend, and you know what that means! It's time for the annual three-day soundtrack of the pending apocalypse. In layman's terms, it's the Canadian International Air Show, a celebration of flight and scared looks on tourists' faces as planes fly a little too close to the Toronto skyline. This year's performers include the Canadian Harvard Aerobatic Team, the Canadian Snowbirds Demonstration Team, and the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. Admission to......

While we're on the subject of TTC maps (as we often are), we might as well include the most wildly ambitious one of all. Reader Ryan Felix sent us his subway map, which he describes as a "fantasy map of the TTC" in 2050. Felix says it was "created in hope to influence people to become pro-transit, and to give a vision that Toronto can have a world-class transit system." The lines depicted on......

Every weekday, we pick an image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve! If you're still short on plans for this weekend, go out and see the Chinese Lantern Festival, running until October at Ontario Place. This year they're featuring some forty giant illuminated lantern installations, courtesy of sixty Chinese master craftsmen, drawing on......

Both shows start at 9:30. Meanwhile, over at Ashbridge's Bay, planners are sticking with tradition and blowing things up on......

Cirque du Soleil's much-anticipated new show, Corteo, opens tonight in that signature blue and yellow tent next to Ontario Place. If Torontoist's trusty informant (we're in with one of the ushers) is to be believed, Cirque's latest offering once again promises the usual suspension of the laws of physics, this time for a story involving a clown's funeral procession. But if Cirque's ticket prices stretch the purse strings a little too far, don't worry,......

We could hardly believe our eyes when we read the release - Mayor Dave flapping jacks for charity. Too bad the rest of this Saturday's IVORY DadWalk involves 'a full day of family fun at Ontario Place.' Ugh. Must we wade through family, fun, and Ontario Place just to have Mayor Miller make us breakfast? Surely there's an easier way to wangle some bureaucratic bisquick. And we're not sure we're entirely invited anyway. The release......
