Remember the men's rights group who tried to throw a music festival this spring? The Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE), are back in action, opening a new centre following a summer crowdfunding campaign. The Canadian Centre for Men and Families opens today at 152 Carlton St., with a slate of programming providing support for men, including counselling, support groups and workshops.

Centre director Justin Trottier told the National Post that while they focus primarily on what they feel are issues affecting men - low academic engagement, a percieved disadvantage in custody cases, victimhood of sexual assault - they don't stand at odds with feminists. "We want to break down stereotypes and gender barriers wherever they're found. And we see that as really the same project as feminism has."

That's a far more moderate approach than many men's right activists take - but they've aligned themselves with groups who sing a far different tune, like the U.S.-based A Voice For Men. CAFE's own greatest hits include crude comments made by staff toward prominent feminists, giving local journalists the runaround on their aims and affiliations, and lying on their charitable status application.

Their aims of helping at-risk boys and men sound commendable - so long as it's not just them getting their PR straight this time around.

The best poutine in Toronto has elevated the common Canadian dish from its early casse-croûtes origins in Quebec, adding all manner of combinations and far-out toppings. But, a truly fine poutine still begins with three simple ingredients. There's fresh cut fries using a (usually local) potato variety, homemade gravy (beef, chicken, gluten-free, vegan - it's debatable) and those toothsome squeaky cheese curds - sometimes straight from Quebec, sometimes closer to home.

Once a restaurant has these mastered they can go hog-wild on the upgrades (foie gras and truffles, anyone?) but nothing beats that diner classic.

Here is the best poutine in Toronto.

Skating rinks in Toronto have begun rolling out their projected opening dates for the 2014 season, now that the first snowfall of the year is upon us and the temperature is hovering steadily around 0 C. The Natrel Rink at the Harbourfront Centre had its first day of the season this past Saturday, and many more are set to roll out opening dates over the end of November and beginning of December.

A few popular picks: Nathan Phillips Square will be open for skating this Saturday, November 22, as will Dufferin Grove Park. Ramsden Park opens the following Saturday, November 29, along with Christie Pits and Trinity Bellwoods. To find out when your local rink will be ready, check out City Rinks Toronto's comprehensive database.

As the snowy season kicks in here in Toronto, so does the endless parade of other people's sunny beachside vacation photos on your Facebook feed. If you can't jet out of town this winter yourself, you're in luck: A brand-new fitness centre is giving Toronto a whole new way to fake being beachside (and you only need to go as far as Yonge and Eglinton).

SurfSet Toronto is set to open December 1 with a roster of surfing-inspired fitness classes, complete with training boards that simulate the motion of the ocean. The SurfSet system, which has enjoyed tons of press in the U.S., features courses focused on improving balance, building muscle, burning fat, or a circuit-based mix of all four.

Unfortunately, the classes are devoid of actual sand and sunshine, and whether or not you will automatically be able to shred on an actual surfboard remains unconfirmed.

When I first walk into Karine Giboulo's exhibit on Ossington I actually feel dizzy. The installation at Angell Gallery is home not just to Giboulo's huge, multi-room (and multi platform) HYPERland diorama, but more than a half dozen other, smaller works. It's a lot to take in.

While I'd seen the Montreal artist's dioramas online, it was when I first saw What is My Name? / Quel est Mon Nom? at Art Toronto that I learned how powerful her work is. Tiny children and a nun make up a scene within a multi room dollhouse perched in a tree. The dollhouse is a residential school, and the scene is rendered from the same materials as generations of kitschy Canadian arts and crafts.

This work is not on show at Angell, but Giboulo has the small front gallery as well as the main room, and there she focuses on Canadiana, rather than the global themes found in the rest of the show. A 3D family of tiny campers behind glass are duplicated in a photo on the wall, and a moose on a toy dump truck is pictured again, as a drawing, a metre away.

The doubles carry on throughout, and at first it's jarring to see photos of the dioramas, often closeups, next to the works themselves: suspiciously commercial. But soon it becomes part of the narrative. Giboulo demands communication at any cost, and no matter how far she peers over the edge of good taste, her balance never gives.

HYPERland dominates in the main gallery. Toronto visitors will recognize its condo-like form: boxes riding boxes into the air. Seven tiers reduce the global market to its barest of identifiers: sweat shop workers and drought below, pristine zoo enclosures above, and between, the one per cent, the rat race, a factory farm, and an eerie mini Gursky tribute: rows upon rows of dollar store items, repeating ad nauseam thanks to mirrors.

Mirrors help make HYPERland so effective: motifs repeat on and on, while as you circle the piece shadows crossing the hyperbolic parched desert below make the viewer a participant, intentional or not.

Cheesy zebra skin patterns are exported from HYPERland to smaller works like one showing a tourist in Africa. In a small case in the gallery's corner, a shark flashes red gums and jagged teeth at a precarious boat of refugees, while in another nautical piece a floating raft is surrounded by the Great Pacific garbage patch. It's completely over the top - so why does it work?

Giboulo's hand is the answer here. Her subversion of kitschy, nationalistic Canadiana, the kind of stuff more likely to be found in a cozy Muskoka cabin than a reputable contemporary gallery, derails the innocence of a playful nick knack or model train set up. Yet you can't divorce her work from the tedious and detail-oriented workmanship of toy making.

When I thought about talking to Giboulo, I realized my most urgent question was how she got her tiny, perfect labels on the replicated dollar store-like items in the shop and floating at sea. But how much do I know about the process involved with the real thing?

Gras and sand is powder glued to a false terrain, models are unashamedly hand painted, and all the tiny consumer goods are meticulously labeled. You can feel a hobbyist's obsessive touch, but these painstaking scenes have complex, if familiar, messages. Using cliched work to tell cliched stories, Giboulo reminds us that we care. Or that we don't, which is equally disruptive.

Karine Giboulo's Hyperland is on until December 20th at Angell Gallery (12 Ossington Ave.)

Here's an eerie video if we've ever seen one. Captured on a security camera outside of Bikes on Wheels new location at Dundas and Brock, a solitary male figure suddenly enters the frame and smashes his head through the large front window, as a group of people smoking in the foreground seemingly pay no attention at all.

The whole thing is weird, from the sudden violent outburst, to the Energizer-bunny like energy the guy shows post window-breaking, to the non-reaction from the folks who you might call "onlookers" if they bothered to pay attention at all. Police are investigating the incident, and Bikes on Wheels asks that anyone who might know who the perpetrator is report that information as soon as possible. Have a look at the footage below.

A Toronto printing company has decided to co-opt Jian Ghomeshi's recent Facebook declaration of innocence in a new round of ad materials. Corktown Printing Co. recently sent out flyers featuring their own tweaks on quotable quotes from Ghomeshi, who has recently been accused of sexually and physically assaulting at least 10 people. Naturally, the Internet was not pleased - the mailers, which feature the line "my tastes in higher quality printing may not be palatable to some folks," even made it to pop-feminist blog Jezebel.

Today in Toronto Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story will ask us why we throw away 50% of our food. Having worked at a raw smoothie bar, I can back up this figure. Your green smoothies make me sad. Nu Music Nite at The Horseshoe Tavern is free and features Ascot Royals, Amy Zen, Black Collar Union, and Junior Felix.

OCAD's print program is pretty stellar, and you can support them all day by buying your very favourite thing: grilled cheese. Chaos and waste will likely not ensue. If you're feeling blue about yourself, there's also free therapy. I cannot confirm the value of free therapy. For more events, click on over to our events section.

For the second week in a row, there is a DineSafe closure to report. Just last week, Riviera Bakery was crowned as one of the best cannoli in the city...now they've been shuttered due to a pest infestation. Ew.

People often talk about the sights and sounds of a city, but what about the smells? Toronto is home to a diverse range of olfactory delights (and a few disasters,) many of which are important parts of the urban experience.

There's the sweet smell of chocolate on Gladstone Avenue and the brutal stench of farts in the east end near the Ashbridges Bay waste treatment plant. And what about the much maligned abattoir smell on King Street West, or the sugary sweetness of a Redpath delivery?

We like to do a lot of lists around here, so it's time to get weird with our noses. These are 10 scents that are notorious in Toronto.

Farts, Ashbridges Bay
Every so often a foul wind blows across the Beaches and the neighbourhoods close to the Ashbridges Bay sewage treatment plant. The facility slowly turns tonnes of Toronto poops into a sludge that can be further processed into odourless pellets. According to the Toronto Star, the flatulent smell spiked earlier this year due to a fault at the plant.

Chocolate and caramel, Gladstone Avenue
The sweet smell of chocolate (or something close to it) is always on the breeze near Gladstone and Dundas. A heavily-used Cadbury chocolate factory, responsible for producing Canada's supply of Mr. Big, Caramilk, and Crispy Crunch bars, has been operating in the neighbourhood for more than a 100 years.

Fortune cookies, Dupont Street
It's strange sensation -- a smell reminiscent of the goods churned out at your standard bakery, but somehow more specific. Once you place it, you won't believe that you didn't pick up on it right away. Yup, it's freshly baked fortune cookies courtesy of the Wings factory at Dupont and Howland.

Burnt marshmallows, Queen's Quay
The Redpath plant on the waterfront is a relic from the days when the Toronto waterfront was a hive of industrial activity. Now, with condos and offices sprouting out of the brownfields, the refinery is marooned, emitting its raw sugar, marshmallow, and molasses to neighbours for the first time.

Roasted corn, Little India
In summer, Little India comes alive with street food vendors selling roasted corn, kulfi, samosas, and other culinary delights from the Indian subcontinent. The sweet smell of cooking (and popping) corn drifts on the warm breeze as salesmen hawk flashing toys and soap bubbles from suitcases. There's incense in there somewhere as well.

Dead animals, Niagara Street
The Toronto Smell Map described it as "the sad smell of shit-scared pigs," and it seemed many of the abattoir's neighbours agreed the porcine smell that wafted on the breeze near Niagara Street was offensive. For now, the odour of freshly killed pigs is on hiatus.

Cinnamon buns, Union Station
Of all the fast food outlets crammed into the (soon to be renovated) GO concourse, Cinnabon is responsible for the most powerful olfactory response. The whole area smells like warm breakfast buns and sugar. Pleasant in winter; weird in summer.

Incense and pot smoke, Kensington
The breeze that flutters the Tibetan prayer flags of Kensington Ave. also carries the distinct smells of burning incense, pot smoke, and vegetables that make Kensington such a sensory pleasure. There are also notes of baking bread, coffee, the sea (or, worse, dead fish), and churros, depending on the exact location.

Street food and diesel exhaust, Queen and Bay
The biggest collection of mobile street food vendors (the old, uncool kind) is often on Queen Street at the base of Nathan Phillips Square. The smell of deep frying potatoes, burgers, and hot dogs mix with the exhaust fumes from tourist buses lined up along the curb.

The subway smell, city-wide
When I tried to describe the subway smell to TTC spokesman Brad Ross, he said he knew what I meant, but couldn't point me to the source. Stand over a subway vent anywhere in the city and inhale--that's the smell, possibly a mix of brake dust and humid air. Distinctive and mysterious.

If you're one of the dozens of people who queue up daily in the PATH for Kupfert & Kim's wheatless, meatless bowls and salads, you'll want to take their new sister spot - and its substantial menu - for a spin. Head west underground to find a lineup of hearty, savoury tacos and vegan burgers (on house-made, gluten-free buns) that the original just didn't have the kitchen space to produce - along with some truly delectable desserts, smoothies and breakfast treats.

Read my profile of K&K Food Stand in the restaurants section.

It's easy to eat your way through the whole menu at this new bistro on West Queen West, where only three dishes per course are offered each night, many of which are hard to judge based on their menu descriptions (note: this is not a bad thing). There's an interesting beer list and select wine labels, but head elsewhere if you deem cocktails essential.

The world's largest plane, the Antonov 225, touched down at Pearson International yesterday, its first stop at Toronto's airport. The massive Ukrainian cargo plane delivered 150 tonnes of mining equipment on this, its final stop before departing on Wednesday morning at around 7:00am. That last tidbit is probably the most exciting bit of news for local plane-spotters.

Watching the an-225 land is an amazing sight, to be sure, but watching it take off is even more spectacular as the six jet engines power up to get the sometimes 500 tonne plane off the ground. It's an engineering marvel, and one that you can bet more than a few people will suffer in the cold to see tomorrow morning. For the rest of us, check out a video of the landing below.

The top stores to buy leather jackets in Toronto specialize in goods that are made to last more than one season. While faux jackets are perfectly fine for those who subscribe to changing trends or aren't able to dish out their hard-earned dollars for expensive outerwear, it's hard to dispute that a genuine leather jacket can be a ticket to timeless fashion.

Since pure hide is also an investment, vintage leather jackets have their own market and are, thankfully, plenty available in the city. In any case, new or used, the era of tough-skinned individuals looking for rebellious statement pieces began decades ago and has yet to go out of style.

Here are my picks for the top places to buy a leather jacket in Toronto.

m0851
With two locations in Toronto (one in Yorkville and the other in North York), m0851 stocks leather jackets and accessories year-round. They're proof that buying new, while it is a pricier option, is key to a lasting piece of outerwear for your closet. The brand's mission is to provide functionality in each product by using the best materials available and creating versatile garments appropriate for fall and winter wear. m0851's leather jackets are by far the sleekest looking leather jackets on the Canadian market. Prices start at $730.

Rudsak
Rudsak is a Canadian label that sells chic outerwear with a rock'n'roll vibe. While their styles change according to seasonal trends, their signature look always manages to make day-to-day wear a little rebellious. Many of their leathers come in transitional fabrics (suited for winter or fall weather) with lush fur trims and a bag to match. At their Queen West store, you'll find puffy coats made from lamb leather and all the moto jackets you need. Prices range from $350 to $1400.

Doc's Leather and Motorcycle Gear
This West Queen West storefront boasts a tough exterior and enduring charm, much like the many leather jackets stocked inside. Customers looking for street style leathers, racing jackets, motorcycle jackets, and shape-accentuating jackets (mostly for ladies) can find a vast selection at Doc's. Don't be scared off by the hairy goon decorating the exterior of the store if you're serious about getting some biker gear.

Danier Factory Outlet
Since buying leather often means going used or shelling out good money for new, Danier's Factory Outlet offers the luxury of a new coat without the pain of paying for it. Men's and women's jackets come in the structured styles Danier has become known for and cater to changing trends in the leather market - on the men's side, there are aviator and racing jackets while the women's jackets present a sleek and professional minimalist exterior. Prices are knocked down from as high as the $500 range to as low as $100, depending on style.

All Leather
All Leather on the north-east corner of Yonge and Gerrard may appear to be like the other questionable fashion stores on Yonge, however like many of those stores, it holds surprising treasures worth taking a look at. Amidst a stock of bongs, pipes, and cowboy boots are a load of various styles of leather jackets--biker jackets with racing stripes, classic moto jackets with buckles and slanted zippers, bombers, and hides in all shades with fringe décor and beading.

Black Market Vintage
As usual, anything considered badass can be found at Black Market Vintage. Their leather jacket selection mirrors the rest of the Queen West store's stock, with plenty of military era and biker gang gear. Black Market also does a great job in providing neatly organized vintage stock, so the leather jacket section is hard to miss. Prices vary depending on style and condition, though it's typically more than budget-friendly.

Leather Toronto
Spadina's Leather Toronto is a near 30-year operation that specializes in simple leather jacket designs for both men and women. Plain bombers and collared coats with little detailing come in shades of brown, tan, and black for women and men. There's also an often hard to come by selection of mid-length men's jackets with a synched waist in a classic military style.

Exile Vintage
Another well-stocked vintage provider is Exile Vintage on Kensington Avenue, where used products are easy to find and the biker or military bomber jacket are the prevailing style. Exile's inventory of leather goods are set up for folks interesting in looking like a laid-back rockabilly or decked-out biker with brands like Brimaco, Harley Davidson, Schott, and Brooks Brothers. The store also has a selection of maxi leather jackets for better coverage in winter.

Export Leather Garments
Export Leather Garments is the place to go for custom order personal jackets for or streamlined company or team outerwear. The staff at Export can make leather jackets for entire high school sports teams with all the fixings: leather detailing, embroidery, logo printing, etc. If you want something on a leather jacket, it's likely they can do it for you. Prices vary according to style, proportions, and design, though a single jacket starts in the $500 range.

Perfect Leather Goods
Perfect leather goods is best known for supplying the city's interior and fashion designers with premium hide for projects, however, they do stock a number of unused vintage leather military and moto jackets and offer custom services for leather jacket requests. The store carries everything from Mongolian lamb skin to ostrich and snake skin, so don't hesitate to get a little wild with your requests.

The City of Toronto is seeking a court injunction that would prevent Uber from operating within its jurisdiction, saying that the business is "operating illegally." At a press conference this afternoon, Tracey Cook, Executive Director of Municipal Licensing and Standards, reiterated the city's claim that Uber poses a risk to the public.

Cook said the company was operating in "flagrant disregard" of city bylaws governing taxi and limo services. The injunction, if granted, would stop Uber applications from operating in Toronto.

In a statement, Uber expressed frustration with the city's decision to proceed with legal action. "It's disappointing that city bureaucrats have deployed expensive legal tactics to attempt to halt progress, limit consumer choice and force a broken transportation model on the public."

"We look forward to sitting down with the city and working to find a common sense approach to regulations that promote public safety and create a permanent home for Uber in Toronto."

It's been a bad couple of days for Uber. Just yesterday, BuzzFeed reported the company's senior vice president Emil Michael had proposed spending a "million dollars" to investigate the personal lives of journalists and other people who are publicly critical of the business.

"Nobody would know it was us," Michael said. He has since worked back the remarks.

Uber currently operates two Toronto services: one that allows users to summon and pay for a licensed cab or luxury vehicle without making a phone call, and another, called UberX, that allows car owners to become paid drivers.

Following the launch of UberX in Toronto, the city said it had "significant concerns" about the service, which lets anyone with a recent, four-door vehicle, a driver's license, and a clean background check to become a driver. A team of legal experts hired by the city has been investigating ever since.

"Anyone driving as an UberX driver is doing so in violation of city bylaws at their own peril," Cook said this afternoon.

The city believes Uber needs to be licensed, but the company doggedly insists it is a technology company, not a taxi service. In Dec. 2013, Uber was hit with a total of 35 Toronto bylaw infraction notices. So far, the charges have not been heard in court.

Uber has also been accused of unfair "surge pricing," which results in prices being dramatically increased during peak periods, like Halloween.

Despite opposition from cities and taxi companies, Uber has been steadily growing. It recently raised $1.2 billion in capital from investors and could be worth a whopping $18 billion USD.

The company now operates in more than 200 cities worldwide, but perhaps not for much longer in Toronto.

What do you think of the city's plan to shut down Uber?

Finding a roommate in Toronto is a dicey proposition - there are lots of cool people and friends of friends looking for roommates, but then there's the sort of people who will steal your Chapstick and eat it. In an effort to keep roommate horror stories firmly in the domain of hilarious Internet-based schadenfreude, a new event series in Toronto is helping prospective housemates find one another (over beers, naturally).

Apartmate.ca, a soon-to-launch site geared toward matching roommates and apartments, is hosting their second roommate mixer at Tequila Bookworm on Wednesday (November 19). Think of it as speed-dating for roommates - instead of spending ages answering ads and meeting prospective roommates, you can chat face-to-face about who washes and who dries, or where to hang your collection of vintage horror-movie posters. Organizers say several successful matches were already made at the first event. Tickets are $10 and include a free drink.

A glow in the dark bike path might soon become a reality in Toronto. A similar path, installed in Amsterdam earlier this year, was a huge hit and the studio behind the project have initiated talks to create a Toronto version in time for next year's Pan Am Games.

The softly-glowing, solar-powered bike path, using phosphoresent-painted stones that glow in a pattern reminiscent of Van Gogh's Starry Night was created in Amsterdam to commemorate 125 years after the painter's death. The path lights cyclists' way without adding light pollution.

Daan Roosegaarde, of Studio Roosegaarde, told the Star he has had early discussions with the city planner's office about potentially installing a similar path on the waterfront, though the city hasn't confirmed anything. Roosegarde added that if Toronto were to install a glowing bike path of its own, it would likely need some tweaks, including heating and some way to deal with snow buildup.

What do you think? Would you welcome a glow in the dark bike path in Toronto?

184 Pearson Avenue is a curious real estate listing. Recently put on the market at $895,000, it has since been bumped up to $995,000, a price which seems more in keeping with the the quality of the house and neighbourhood. Still, why the increase post-listing? Was the interest just not there? It's hard to reconcile how this particular property didn't incite a bidding war when it hit the market.

Here you have a lot of Toronto home buyer's key criteria covered: the house is of a decent size (3 bedroom/3 bath), is extremely well located (Roncesvalles Village), doesn't require major renovations, has a walk score of 92, and even two parking spots. The street itself is quiet and mature, made up of many historical homes. In other words, there's not a whole lot to dislike. Let's have a closer look.

SPECS

• Address: 184 Pearson Ave.
• Price: $995,000
• Lot Size: 20.5ft x 135ft
• Bedrooms: 3
• Bathrooms: 3
• Parking: 2
• Taxes: $4818.86
• Walk Score: 92

NOTABLE FEATURES

• Renovated eat-in kitchen
• Gas stove
• High ceilings in finished basement
• Two car parking off of laneway

GOOD FOR

At just shy of a million bucks for a list price, this three bedroom home in a highly desirable neighbourhood will appeal to those with mid-sized budgets who are hoping to avoid moving to a less established area for the sake of gaining enough space. While not huge, the renovated basement, two parking spaces, and three bathrooms help this space to fight in a class above its actual weight. It's Roncesvalles Village for a million bucks. Even if this listing was slow out of the gate, you'd expect it to attract a lot of attention.

MOVE ON IF

There a lot of good qualities this house possesses, but modern design is not one of them. Unless you have big bucks to renovate (which be a shame given that it's not all that dated), you'll have to be comfortable with home that has a lived-in feel. Another potential knock is the size. Three bedrooms might not be enough for some families, though it's worth remembering that the finished basement could house a teenager who tends to shy away from the light anyway.
