    Diversity Triumphs at The Danforth Music Hall

    January 14, 2020 /

    The idea of diversity has become a polarizing topic in the public discourse over the past couple of years. The western world has experienced an influx of refugees fleeing their war-torn homeland in search of asylum, which has prompted debates from politicians, to the common folk, on how sympathetic a country’s borders should be. Divisionary walls have been hotly debated, immigrants have been detained, while religious institutions have experienced unsettling acts of terrorism. More than ever, one’s physical attributes, be it the colour of their skin or the presence of devotional veils, have become fodder for much broader issues. In the face of such divisiveness, Canada has continued to exercise…

    We’re Not That Different, You and I: Films And TV Shows Shot On The Danforth

    June 3, 2018 /

    Every time I hear that a movie or TV show is being filmed in Toronto, it’s always a little bit of a surprise. Maybe because movies are often set in locations like New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles (and many more) but are actually being filmed in Toronto. When they film in Toronto and pass it off as a certain part of America, I can’t help but feel a little proud.
