The window displays at @hudsonsbay are something you should probably see this season. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2fs8AH4

"And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah." I've only ever made one trip to Hamilton in my life, and it was to see Leonard Cohen when he came back from retirement in 2009, because Toronto tickets sold out instantly. I took the bus and happily went alone, and it was one of the greatest musical experiences I've ever witnessed in a life spent bearing witness to incredible live music. Truly Holy Baptism, for someone like me. I think in some odd way Leonard knew we needed a reason to stop feeling angry this week and remember we still have the music, the art, the poetry, the words - these are the things that matter. This is how we defeat hate. #ttro via Instagram http://bit.ly/2fGCep0

I do not understand how this happened, but I know that it screams of some serious internalized misogyny and absolute hatred in the hearts of the people who made it happen. An absolute tragedy that could last 4 destructive years. #election2016 #imwithher via Instagram http://bit.ly/2eTuCzx

The first time I was ever in New York City I was 15 on a school art trip, and it was 4 months before the towers fell. I have since been forever grateful I had the chance to stand in the towers and observe their incredible beauty before that day. The last time I was in the city, the memorial hadn't yet been built. It was still just a concept. It's a sad note to leave New York on, but I couldn't leave without finally coming back. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2eKFPFd

If I posted all the street art I've been obsessing over this weekend I wouldn't have time to do anything else, but this is a good example. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2eHM5xH

Spent the day eating italian food in Greenwich Village and the evening running around the @themuseumofmodernart aka today was absolutely perfect. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2f14C4R

New York, you've done nothing but rain since I arrived here at the godawful hour of 7am. As I wander around lost and soaked trying to find the C train, I realize in any other city I'd be so annoyed. But here, being lost means a stunning view of the Brooklyn Bridge in the rain. My god I have missed this place. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2dRazR2

Got sufficiently creeped out by my favourite horror movie characters last night at @CasaLomaToronto's #LegendsofHorror. Some people prefer to get their adrenaline rush from rollorcoasters or motorcycles, I prefer to be scared shitless by faux monsters. I love Halloween. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2eEq83b

That feel when your team sweeps the team that punched your player in the face. Happy Thanksgiving! via Instagram http://bit.ly/2e6eXRA

My sis @artdepartmental decided she wanted to celebrate her birthday at @paintlounge so I painted my soul on a good day. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2dwE6mB

Director X makes great music vids and also made this for Nuit Blanche (which, this year reminds me of how much I loved it the first year, now that the corporate sponsorship is gone). #nbTO16 #DeathoftheSun via Instagram http://bit.ly/2dmfjA5

Due to being locked in the jury room last night fighting for @blackmountainarmy's IV to win the #Polaris2016 prize, I had to miss their performance. Luckly they played @strombo's house today, so that made up for it. #ttro via Instagram http://bit.ly/2cngwsV

Our #polaris2016 winner is Kaytranada! #ttro via Instagram http://bit.ly/2d3Xpku

Tonight I get to help decide which Canadian album wins $50,000 and #Polaris2016 Prize title. The process is only half over and it's already been one of the greatest experiences of my life. As a music nerd, there is nothing more fascinating than sitting in a room debating music you love with others who are as passionate about it as you. Watch the Gala livestream tonight to find out who we decide on and see performances from a few of my favourite musicians. #ttro via Instagram http://bit.ly/2cZ1D0F

Earlier today at the #BirksTribute to women in film. #TIFF16 has done a better job at hughlighting women in film and the huge gap that persists, with industry sessions focused on solutions to this huge problem where 96% of film is made by men. The times they are a changing. #itsaboutdamntime via Instagram http://bit.ly/2cV9xYg
