A world class Week this week in Toronto

Beckham, Nadal, Federer, Djocovic, Weir, Furyk, the Mariners, the Blue Jays and the Eagles. If you don't recognize any of these names it is amazing that you have access to the Internet. But you probably recognize most of them. Beckham, of course is the David Beckham formerly of the Real Madrid now of the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer club, Federer is Roger Federer and Nadal is Rafael Nadal, the number 1 and 2 tenis players in the world. Novak Djocovic is the number 3. Mike Weir is Canada's best golf player playing at the 100th edition of the Canadian Open Golf Tournament. The American Jim Furyk is the current champion and the favourite to win again. The Mariners and Blue Jays are of course major league baseball teams. The Eagles are not the NFL football team but rather the pop rock band now on a reunion tour. All of these guys are or were in Toronto this week (Federer, for example was eliminated in the first round of the tenis tourney).

With all of this and more going on in Toronto this week it would be hard to argue that Toronto is not a world class city. In the last 20 or so years Toronto has transformed itself into one of the most creative and happening cities in the world even though it's not recognized as such just yet. No matter, it will. Now for an encore, what's happening in August before the one of the biggest events of the year in September, the Toronto International Film Festival? Stay tuned. In the meantime I will get ready to go to the Rogers Cup tenis final on Sunday hoping to see Rafael Nadal win the title.
