The undisputed media capital of Canada, Toronto is home to
national newspapers like The Globe and Mail and The National Post
as well as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and all were well-represented
at mediabistro.com's recent cocktail party at the swanky concept bar Hotel.
Even Laurel, our jet-setting founder,
flew in for an appearance. Journalist Jennifer Leonard, avec boa, was
the peerless hostess. (You may reach her at jennifer@mediabistro.com.)
