A lot happened this week – Steve Jobs resigned, an earthquake hit Toronto, and Hurricane Irene is headed for the Northeast – but nothing was perhaps as newsworthy as MTV announcing Britney Spears will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Clearly, her days of dancing with snakes in a schoolgirl skirts while JT cheers on are over. The end of an era.

Special Coverage

Our friend and Globe & Mail Reporter Steve Ladurantaye has provided a special recap this week on the ground-breaking #Muskoka Summit in Twitter form, also ground-breaking.

syladurantaye Steve Ladurantaye

A #FF to @brianpersaud, even though I`m done making jokes about his cowardly attempted escape from a grounded canoe.

syladurantaye Steve Ladurantaye

A #FF to @ratehub_canada for bravery in the face of adversity, even when surrounded by useless seamen.

syladurantaye Steve Ladurantaye

A #FF to @bankguru, who stayed closed enough to save me if the canoe had capsized. Which is more than you-know-who would have done.

syladurantaye Steve Ladurantaye

A #FF to @AlyssaJRichard, who you should let win at Boggle because I`m scared of what her reaction would be if she were to lose.

syladurantaye Steve Ladurantaye

And a #FF to @TalkCondo, who is very impressive at Boggle so long as he`s allowed to double his points without telling anyone.

syladurantaye Steve Ladurantaye

#FF to @benjaminbach, even though he thinks most of the things you cross-post to Facebook are moronic (just like you).

And just one more jab…

@ratehub_canada “Next on Inside Toronto RE, how to use paddle to club your mates to death and guarantee all the island food will be yours.”

We’ll be waiting on that episode next week! Have a great weekend.

Economically, things hit a low this week, but our Tweeps were in high spirits finding light in the matter, as always. So clever they are!
