Top ten places to hang out in Toronto
These are the top ten places to hang out in Toronto according to me, which means (sorry) no nightclubs because I get sleepy. However.

Celebrity Swag includes luxury travel and other stuff
Well. If anyone had told me that celebrity swag includes luxury travel I would have tried harder to win an academy award. I might have even taken up acting.
