Remember Jean Chrétien? We haven't heard much about the former prime minister in some time (dude's been off the map ever since Paul Martin forced him off it). Well, Mizalaina of the Toronto LiveJournal community spotted Chrétien earlier today in downtown Toronto, and has one hell of a story to go along with it:

Dethroned! Ed the Sock will no longer be serving as grand marshal of the Toronto Beaches Lions Club Easter Parade this weekend.

ACTRA is officially on strike. If you are an actor, you have the day off. Except if you work for the Rick Mercer Report or the Royal Canadian Air Farce. Then you're shit out of luck.

So you're stuck at home with the kids. Or you're feeling under the weather. Or you're tired of scrambling around at 11:58 looking for someone to make out with. There are many, many reasons why you might be staying in this New Year's Eve. But there is no reason why you can't be a party of one in front of the tube!

is still going strong. The cast has some fresh blood (Jessica Holmes' Liza Minelli impression gets us every time), but the old standbys are still reassuringly present. The show tapes every Thursday night at 6:30 and 9:00 at the CBC, and tickets are free. It's always a fun night out - the energy of the live cast is quite different from how it reads on tv, and the jokes are funnier when you're surrounded by a few hundred people who are just tickled to be in an actual tv studio (and admit it - you're pretty tickled too).
