By David Topping

Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

• Suckers for timelapses, we are. Here’s one shot throughout Toronto this summer.
• Eye Weekly‘s cover story this week: “Toronto’s most huggable douchebags,” from Gord Martineau to Jian Ghomeshi.
• David Miller is not the only one who can look menacing in Sugar Beach’s fountain. Here’s George Smitherman today, on the heels of declaring his support for waterfront development.
• A great, important Toronto Star election feature not to be missed, The Smell Test “look[s] at the mayoral candidates’ claims to see if they smell fragrant or foul.”
• And some Londoners are not so happy that their Bixi bike-share program is sponsored by big British bank Barclays PLC. So this is what they did. Back home, Bixi’s four hundred subscribers away from where they need to be.
