      Toronto’s most eligible bachelor gives us a few essential tips on menswear. When it comes to menswear, it’s all about looking suave without trying too hard. So instead of consulting an expert in the fashion industry, we decided to turn to one of Toronto’s top bachelors instead – one who always looks impeccable without breaking the bank, and who’s always got a babe dangling off each arm.

    I can’t say that I’m surprised about the rioting – anyone who’s seen a Manchester United loss in the playoffs would be well aware of this hellish scene often displayed by angry fans. And this was the Stanley Cup. Canada’s pride and joy, up for the taking by a city so proud to be Canadian they overbore the anthem singer.
