Dear Diary,
It’s already the second week of September. Can you believe it? Here I am wearing my parka and UGG boots thinking a brisk fall breeze will knock me off my feet when another heat wave plagues Toronto. As you may have guessed, I’m sweating like a fat kid in a candy store. Perhaps I should shower. Nah, too lazy. Anyways, Diary, I figured I’d take advantage of this nice weather find some stuff to do outside.
This is what I have in mind:
Art Walk: The ROM hosts free themed walking tours of Toronto areas. This week, you can check out Yorkville and the Annex. I think this is fabulous. (more…)

You can be a cowgirl in BC!
Summer holidays for many of you is coming to an end. I know, it blows. I’m sure you have either had a blast this summer or had the worst summer of your life. This recession thing really stole a lot of the limelight and could have potentially had you strapped for cash for the last three to four months. The good news is that it’s over/ winding down and the effects are starting to ware off. Hopefully you have a bit of your hard earned money left to do some things before your holidays are over.
If you have been listening to us all summer like a good boy or girl you definitely will have some cash. Don’t come and tell me you have nothing to do, because here are some things (list of 50) to do in this beautiful country we call Canada (broken down by province). I will give you some favorites from British Columbia to Manitoba (including the territories) today. Tomorrow you will get Ontario to the Prairies. I would never have thought of doing some of these things and neither would you if it wasn’t for me. Aren’t you glad you know me now? And hey, if you see something fun in a nearby province, make a quick trip with some friends and have a blast.

Gd’afternoon! I hope those of you who are in provinces that have a civic holiday are enjoying your long weekend. Everyone else: sucks to be you! Just kidding, you’ll get your chance to mock us.
Happy August! I like August, mainly because my birthday is on the 21st (yes, I will accept your presents, thank you for asking), oh and Virgin Festival is at the end of the month (or this weekend if you live in Alberta!).
So what’s keeping the cheapskate Canucks busy this week?
