A guy in a camo hat driving a Dodge Ram with a "FUCK TRUDEAU" flag hanging from the tailgate yelled "Faggot!" at me as I crossed Church St. yesterday. So happy Pride, Toronto. He's why Pride is a thing. But this Kylie- and Carly Rae- and Audrey-lovin' straight boy loves you.
Donald Sutherland. Cool customers don't come much cooler than that cool customer. But cool customers from Saint John, NB, are EXTRA-cool customers. What a legit bummer. Godspeed.
Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! Looooove the Sophie! Very excited. thestar.com/entertainment/…
