My friend Aaron recently shared a link to an article on WorldNetDaily by martial arts icon, living meme and patriot Chuck Norris. It’s the first in a two-part series on American public schools – or “progressive indoctrination camps,” as Norris prefers to call them.

Somebody posted a “Free Kittens” sign on one of the newspaper boxes on Bay Street. There weren’t any details, though, or any contact information. It was just a sign that said “Free Kittens.” Do you think they might have meant it like “Free Mumia?”

I’m very glad to be able to tell you that I’ll once again be spinning at Night for Rights, the awesome party and fundraiser that Journalists for Human Rights holds every year.

I’ve told you about Literature for Life, the amazing community organization whose board of directors I was honoured to join last year. But why take it from me when you can read the rather awesome conversation that the folks at She Does the City had with Jo Altilia, the organization’s executive director? Have you checked […]

After years of living in London, my friend Jordan Crute recently returned home to Toronto – and being the gentleman he is, he was kind enough to bring his awesome short film screening with him. Short and Sweet’s Toronto incarnation launches tonight at No One Writes to the Colonel, a rather excellent new College Street […]

Last week, Charlie Sheen set a world record for the fastest time to reach one million followers on Twitter, hitting the mark just twenty-five hours and seventeen minutes after launching his account. Then, earlier today, he broke the record for reaching two million. Pay attention, so-called social media gurus. This is the example you’re going […]

My good friend Paul Gagnon is celebrating a birthday tonight at the Holy Oak Cafe in Toronto. I’ll be one of a number of DJs honouring Paul by spinning what he’s calling “the greatest party anthems of all time!” We kick things off at 10:00 PM, and there’s no cover charge. What do you say […]
