Extra, Extra: Don McKellar on Tracy Wright, The Star on the Toronto 18, and Cougars on Queen
Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
- “Numerous publication bans have kept the full story from the public. Now, with the case over, we can present the complete narrative of the Toronto 18: Who they are, how they met, what they did.” Incredible and incredibly important work from the Toronto Star.
- Don McKellar’s heartbreaking letter addressed to friends and family, sent out the June morning after his wife, Toronto actress Tracy Wright, died, has been republished (with permission) by Maclean’s.
- Taking over Lloyd Robertson’s gig on CTV when the National News host leaves in 2011? Lisa LaFlamme. Mondoville—following the story with much interest for some time—is not publishing stories for a while, and so is keeping their comments under 140 characters.
- Happening tonight: Toronto’s first Cougar Convention, at the Tattoo Rock Parlour. You have been warned, young handsome men of Toronto prone to hanging out on Queen West between Bathurst and Spadina.
- And one more from the Star, because if their Toronto 18 project wasn’t great enough, today’s headline on the latest edition of their Fixer column, about a pole-mounted sign with “sharp metal edges” at eye level with pedestrians, wins all the marbles. Ladies and germs, “Edgy sign could be an eye-catcher.”
