Over the top
Recently I opted for substance over style when I retired my Virgin cell phone and replaced it with a no frills alternative from Petro Canada, a carrier with zero cachet among the arbiters of urban cool.
Taking Care of Business
By Bruce Stapley
Puppy Proprietors in Stouffville; More than Just Clever Business Names
Day care centres may have become big business with the advent of the two income family a few decades back. But talk to any dog owner in Stouffville and she will tell you the first number on her speed dial is that of the […]

Toronto show to debut at Nineteen on the Park

In praise of cocooning
Life north of Bloomington is pretty quiet at this time of year. The streets are snow lined, with houses puffing out smoke as their furnaces work to beat the cold.

When the Great One’s tears start to flow and the puck hits the boards with a resounding thwack, you look around and find yourself in Hockey Town.
In Stouffville, at the Latcham Gallery, of all places.
Art meets the puck - and all the fun, nuttiness, team loyalties and rivalries that go along with the good ol’ […]
