The cartoonist, Dan Murphy claims he was told that the cartoon was removed from the Vancouver Province after Enbridge complained.
According to a supervisor at the Province, Enbridge threatened to pull $1 million worth of advertising revenue if they did not comply. The paper's editor suggests the cartoon was removed for copyright reasons and the paper denies that Enbridge made any threats.
But after recalling the countless times our team has encountered a drunken Creative Director vocalizing their love for R. Kelly's 'Trapped in the Closet', we thought this deserved a post.

What is Radical Openness and how does it affect the way you share information?

Below is Ariel Garten from Toronto's own thought-computing startup Interaxon speaking at last year's TEDxToronto event.
Toronto’s Wattpad is having a big month. Hot on the heels of raising $17.3 million, they announced that Margaret Atwood will be joining their online membership, releasing a collection of poetry through the site thus solidifying herself as Canada's most digitally-literate 70+ year-old author.

Need another reason to get mad at Facebook’s privacy policy?
We Know What You’re Doing uses public data drawn from Facebook to tell you who can’t stand their boss, who is hungover, who recently got a new phone number, and even who is taking drugs.
The site uses data made publically available by Facebook (and the respective users). It also suggests that the problem isn’t necessarily with Facebook’s privacy policy, but suggests that just maybe, perhaps, it might have something to do with users who are too lazy to learn how to change their privacy settings.
Created as a sort of support group for Developers, #DevTO is a monthly meet-up for Developers in Toronto.
Whether you're a hardened, seasoned Developer or are just learning HTML, this monthly meet-up is a great way to meet other industry folks and to learn.
This month's seems to be sold out, but there is a waiting list and you can always stop by the ING Cafe on Yonge St. and try your luck. There's pizza as well.
We love seeing folks hosting great, educational meet-ups such as this. It's a good thing.
