For decades, Prince Andrew has been deeply involved in the community and culture of Lakefield College School, in rural Ontario. I went on quite the journey this week trying to get the school to explain to me the status of that relationship now.

The school Prince Andrew attended in 1977 won’t renew his honourary chair status and the Canadian Canoe Museum is surely finished with him. The prince’s sweaty ties to Jeffrey Epstein are the culmination of a fascination that, 37 years ago, led to a lousy movie starring Andy’s girlfriend Koo Stark to draw an audience to a Toronto porn theatre.

At the end of the photo op, Ford says "Merci beaucoup" to the media, and asks PMJT if he "knows any good French teachers?" Trudeau responds "I know a few, I was one but I'm a sort of busy at this point" #cdnpoli

Parlez-moi with Sol the Clown may no longer be on TVO, but the premier thinks he can master a second language, anyhow. Doug Ford was also asked about Ford Nation friend Don Cherry but stuck to saying everyone should wear a poppy. This week, it was also revealed that the family asked the city to not name a street after Rob Ford.

Drake’s sports restaurant shut down due to $67,514.73 in unpaid rent. Pick 6ix opened in February 2018 as a pricey Toronto hangout to the stars, specializing in sushi. It closed by August after a flooding, then reopened in March with pub fare. Well, that didn’t seem to work either. (6ix God must have higher hopes for branding weed.)


Taking a used album personally

Dave Bookman, who died in May at age 58, is having his record collection sold off as a fundraiser for education charity MusiCounts. Raju Mudhar of the Toronto Star talked to those who covet Bookie’s well-worn vinyl LPs of Pet Sounds and Blood on the Tracks.

Sweet finds today at Bookies LP sale supporting @musicounts. Honoured to have his live bootleg Squeeze album. WHICH by the way is called ‘Anatomy of a burger’ and not whatever the hell I called it in the video. Excuse the dyslexic moment. @indie88toronto #indie88
