- Hang tight! Canada’s Wonderland has announced two new rides for the 2016 summer season. Skyhawk, the first ride of its kind in North America, will allow riders to take control of their own cockpit and maneuver through 360 degree turns; and Flying Eagles, a two-person plane that will allow riders to control their flight and ride experience.
- Live in Toronto? Is your husband or partner a non-smoker with an average build, black hair, and brown eyes? If so, you may want to be cautious. According to online infographic site Dadaviz, Torontonians make up the fourth-highest total of Ashley Madison memberships in the world with a total of 222,982 clients, falling only behind Sao Paulo (374,542), New York (268,171), and Sydney (251,813). Davadiz also released a composite sketch of the typical AM user with the dark and mysterious more likely to cheat than those with light hair and bright eyes. Just yesterday the Ashley Madison hackers, the Impact Team, revealed more names of the (allegedly) unfaithful, including accounts from multiple municipal government and university email addresses. Raja Bhatia, the chief technology officer for Ashley Madison’s parent company, said, “On a daily basis, we’re seeing 30 to 80 different claimed dumps come online, and most of these dumps are entirely fake and being used by other organizations to capture the attention that’s been built up through this release.” Those lying scoundrels are the worst, aren’t they?
- Fake campaign posters urging people to “Vote for Harper You Lying Pieces of Shit” have popped up in light of an angry Conservative supporter who heckled reporters at an event for Stephen Harper earlier this week. Earl Cowan, who called journalists “lying pieces of shit” and told reporters to “go stuff” themselves, refused to confirm his identity, but is believed to also be the same man who told Olivia Chow to “go back to China” during last year’s mayoral campaign. Basically, angry Internet commenters have been brought to life, and they appear to be voting Conservative.
