She's one of the busiest actors in Toronto. And she's living for it Canadian stage actor Sophia Walker is in five major productions this season, across Toronto and the Shaw Festival.

She might be the busiest actor in Toronto. But Sophia Walker loves the hustle

Toronto keeps whining about Doug Ford’s waterfront plans. Is nothing good enough for you people? One day, you ungrateful city-slickers will wake up and realize what you could've had with a mayor like Premier Ford.

Pleased as punch to announce that I have another comedy piece in the @thestar.com today, wherein I defend my beloved Doug Ford and all of his amazing ideas. I hope someone sends it to him at the cottage.💙

Christopher Lloyd and Christopher Walken in Macbeth at Lincoln Center in NYC from 1974.

It serves a political purpose to create the problem of open air drug use across Ontario, especially in an urban centre like Toronto. Conservatives can claim that "crime is everywhere!" and weaponize the public's fear — no matter that they created the problem. No matter that thousands will die.

Ontario to introduce bill exempting Premier, cabinet from FOI requests Government’s proposed changes follow its loss of court battle over call logs for Ford’s personal cellphone

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.

Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

Do you use city e-bikes? Good news, Toronto is adding more A report presented to the Toronto Parking Authority board of directors on Wednesday found e-bikes have been in high demand, delivering over twice as many trips-per-day as regular bikes. Now, as CBC’s ...

We spoke with CBC about the city's plans to keep expanding Bike Share and adding more e-bikes to the fleet. Bike Share's success is a true good news story, and a leading indicator of our untapped potential as a cycling city.

Timothée Chalamet Under Fire For Dismissive Comments About Traditional Japanese Puppet Theater Form ‘Bunraku’ LOS ANGELES—Facing fierce backlash for remarks deemed deeply ignorant by devoted fans, actor Timothée Chalamet came under fire Monday for dismissive comments about traditional Japanese bunraku puppetr...

“I never want to end up in a position where I’m one of the Ningyōzukai manipulating the arms and legs of this puppet that frankly hasn’t been relevant since the early 17th century,” said the Marty Supreme star

Gonna double down with a reminder that if you post a screenshot of text from an article you should alt text it & link to the fucking article!!!! If you found it on the internet you should share the link!!! Do not force me to Nancy Drew my way back to the source by triangulating fonts w/news outlets.

The two types of hosts I admire on SNL are effortlessly charming hosts and then the exact opposite where Adam Driver shows up, knows his lines better than every member of the cast and treats every sketch like it’s Macbeth

A screenshot of the accessibility tab in my Bluesky settings, showing the alt text toggled on "require alt text before posting" Btw alt text is also a fun place to shamelessly editorialize on your post and there ain't no character limit. Go ahead and share the Canterbury Tales here plus throw in a random Fuck or Shitass. It's a delightful pastime

Friends, please use Alt Text whenever you post images. It helps those with sight issues understand your sparkling captions & assists those of us who are hopelessly unhip in getting your references. Just toggle it in the settings for a reminder every time you share a bot mot, THANKYOUSOMUCH

I will not be running for mayor of Toronto I even asked my editor at the Star for a two-page spread to help readers understand the extent to which I am not running for mayor of Toronto.

Breaking news! I have my first opinion piece in the Toronto Star today! I got to make fun of John Tory AND make a joke about me playing for the Blue Jays, so it's safe to say that this was the most fun I've had writing something in a while. 💙 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

“Why is the left more critical of western democracies than terrorists?”

Well, there’s a long, nuanced answer folks aren’t ready to hear, so here’s the easy one:

I hold “democratic governments,” my own and its allies, to a higher standard than terrorists. I think you should too.

Global News’ Ben Mulroney Shared a Video of Airstrikes. The Footage is Actually from a Video Game. The host of Global News’ West Block gets lost in a misinformation-driven fog of war as American and Israeli forces strike Iran

NEW FROM ME:

While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran

I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game

I complain about CBC, because it’s not perfect, and fair criticism is allowed and appropriate. But seriously, thank God for CBC in Canada. It needs to be protected.

Important to call lies out when there are lies. These are lies from a liar.

Matt Elliott: Why it will take Toronto 13 years and more than $50 million to recover from Doug Ford’s hasty speed camera ban Impulsive political decisions like the speed camera ban can have long-term impacts.

My @thestar.com column: Doug Ford’s snap decision to ban speed cameras could take $50 million and THIRTEEN YEARS for Toronto to deal with.

The premier promised there’d be immediate alternatives for road safety. The problem: those alternatives don’t really exist. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
