One of the best teachers I’ve ever had was at Ursula Franklin Academy during high school. Michael Erikson was that teacher who forced you to check your egos at the door and think outside the box. He was always a pillar in the community, putting together minority rights meetings, leading trips to Ghana, and was an advocate and safe person to talk to for people struggling with gender, sexuality, emotional or academic issues. He’s just the type of person you would love to see making democratic decisions for real citizens of this city. He was and still is a great teacher, person, activist and artist, and now, Michael is running for City Councillor in Ward 14 (Parkdale/High Park) in the upcoming election October 25th (mark your calendars, Toronto). read more...

Dive bars in Toronto range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Some are so well-appointed you'll feel bad about your apartment, and you can people watch while slurping delicious craft beers. Others are grimey and grungy and glorious and a pitcher of beer will be cheaper than a ticket to the movies. Whatever your speed, these are the best place to gather some folks and knock back a few pints. read more...

Sentenced to 1 year in a city jail (8 months with good behaviour) for having a loaded gun on his tour bus in '07, Lil Wayne is locked up right now, and the people at Savoy don't like it! That's a pretty bad thing to carry around on a tour bus, but I mean, how many people do you think do that and just haven't gotten caught? read more...

Best place to get a photo of you taken while sloshed, and then see it on a website. Also, best place to feel as though drinking beer in the dark was what you were meant to do – always. read more...

Best place to make out with colourfully clad doe-eyed babe (female or male) while busting around to electro beats…and then leave with someone else’s number – Bouuyyyyyyyyahhhhhhhh!
The Social hooks us up with the most talented DJ’s – locally and abroad. Done and done. read more...

If Bettie Paige were to hang out in a Toronto bar, it would be here.
The Cadillac is a very special place for me, as it is where I decided to change my life. On my 26th birthday I got real wasters, commanded the attention of not only my direct group of friends but the ENTIRE back patio. I stumbled on to a chair and yelled this at everyone:
”I’m 26 and I’m FUCKING BOREEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD”.
Yep…that was a birthday to remember. read more...

People Watchers Haven in the most stylish surroundings
If you have a super stylish friend who’s coming in from out of town and you want to show them that Toronto is on par with NYC – take them to the Drake.
The Drake is a cultural impact that has single handedly created an artistically polished hood.
The Drake is terrific for the following:
- Having a conversation with both a 22 yr old struggling musician and a 40 year old VP of Advertising about the latest festival film
- Dancing like a maniac, whether in the Lounge or Underground read more...
