No No Naomi
We like indie power couple Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis. We really do. But, like thongs and poorly developed film, they’re over-exposed. Torontoist genuinely wants to see The Take, the duo’s first foray into documentary, and a moving tale of Argentine workers. That said, having to listen to them on every CBC program last week, and see their smiling mugs on the telly ad nauseum left Torontoist a little Brand Naomi’ed out. But if you’ve yet to experience this Naomi concentration, then check out Ms. Klein’s Iraq lecture tonight. It’s part of the U of T sponsored Peace Week. Torontoist has seen Ms. Klein lecture before, and while she doesn’t pull out the p and p (props and powerpoint), her talks are always informative and concise.
And if all this power dueting round town leaves you wishing you too could form one half of a power couple, then perhaps you need to check out this magazine, now on its fourth issue. We know, Torontoist can’t believe it either.
