Kevin O’Leary isn’t finished whining about the Conservative leadership race. The candidate who abandoned his campaign claims to be on the hook for about $300,000. Since rules stipulate he has to raise it one maximum $1,550 donation at a time, O’Leary is arguing he now risks being sued by small vendors facing ruin—because he can’t pay them with proceeds from Shark Tank
investments like an illuminated toilet seat. (Oh, and he’s also asking for a recount of the vote that sunk Maxime Bernier.)

“For those who have attended high school, pranks are a rite of passage, but this one went too far.” Cooking oil and peanut butter smeared across the floors
forced Senator O’Connor College School at Victoria Park and Lawrence to close yesterday, not so much out of concern about allergic reactions, but because a staff member slipped and fell. John Yan of the Toronto District School Board acknowledged that social media plays a role in influencing students to top each other in the prank department. (The same teens are surely amused when multiple TV news trucks pull up to the school hoping to chase them down for a soundbite.)

“Toronto’s Apollo” gets a hip-hop oral history. Now Magazine is fronted this week by Ron Nelson, the legendary host of CKLN’s Fantastic Voyage, who got the chance to turn the Masonic Temple into a dominant rap palace through the late ’80s. The turning point was a 1989 Public Enemy concert, when a shocked Nelson received a $7,500 cheque for his cut of T-shirt sales, purchased by the overwhelmingly white crowd. “Black people didn’t do that. We didn’t have that kind of money.”
