A few months back I wrote an article decrying the "Slut Walks" which were taking place across the country. It led to a huge debate, and tempers passionately flared. It began when a police officer had apparently told a group of students that if they wanted to protect themselves … [Read more...]
This is Why Tori was in Town
Atop the uber trendy Thompson Hotel in downtown Toronto, an exclusive gathering of media, sponsors and contest winners were sipping champagne as we waited to meet, and in my case photograph, Tori Spelling. So the question is why? Because she was in town promoting McCain's Ultra Thin Crust … [Read more...]

Please Answer This One Question
Can you tell me why we care more about Amy Winehouse dying than the tragedy in Norway? Though she's very talented, she's been on a self-distructive path for years.

How Did You Become A Critic: Part 2
With over 100 Fringe shows in, Part 2 of our series continues with Sun Media's John Coulbourn. How did you become a reviewer? I just sort of fell into it. In a way, it all seems sort of pre-ordained in that I had the good fortune to have a father who was highly opinionated and a mother … [Read more...]
How Did You Become a Critic?
Today is the start of Toronto's Fringe Theatre Festival. I love the Fringe Fests we have across the country -they're full of dynamic, eclectic, creative performances and you never know what you're going to get. The Toronto fest has 145 shows and I have so many friends performing … [Read more...]
If I Send My Kid to Drama Camp, Will They Be a Star?
I keep seeing all these notices for drama camps and acting schools. Seems everywhere there are adverts to send your kid here & "we'll make them a star". Are any for real? Is there any educational value to them? And if so, what kind of class should you chose? I decided to … [Read more...]
