- After twenty-something years, James Chatto has been dropped from Toronto Life. News squeaked out last night via Globe food columnist Lucy Waverman, and Chatto wrote on his blog today that “I have felt uncomfortable there for quite some time, the magazine’s current editorial tone not really in tune with the way I like to write.” The Star has more.
- Public notice to those in the area bounded by Dufferin, Ossington, Dundas, and Queen: someone needs help after losing an RC MultiCopter that “flew out of range” and oh just go look at this please.
- The iPad is officially coming to Canada (and a bunch of other countries, but who cares, right?) on May 28.
- Hands up: how many of you knew Rocco Rossi was a former Star columnist? The Post‘s Adam McDowell goes to the archives, and finds gems like: “The median price for homes sold in Toronto last month was $178,375. Who has that kind of money?”
- You know who absolutely does have that kind of money? Pickering-born, Elisha Cuthbert–dating, New York Rangers–playing Sean Avery, who has a sweet place, in Chelsea, currently on the market.
- If you have a company called Mr. Lube, and someone creates a company called Ms. Lube, and you take issue with their name, you are a male chauvinist. Makes sense.
- Torontoist and Waterfront Toronto’s competition to Rename Sherbourne Park (more about it here) has just passed four hundred submitted names. You’ve got till May 14 to get yours in. We do not recommend “Ms. Lube Park.”
