Remember the Canadian reality TV pilot 'Lake Shore', which was first introduced in 2010? Well many sleezy Canadians of all races auditioned to be cast on the Canadian version of the MTV hit 'Jersey Shore'. After months of waiting and teasing with trailers, the show was finally cut from ever hitting any network. There were several speculations going around about when the show going to air. I bumped into 'Downtown' Arber Daci aka The Algerian' last year at a club where he is a bartender and he told me the producer is shopping around to see which TV network will pay the most. When I bumped into Salim 'The Lebanese, at Dundas station and asked him the same question, he dodged the question because he was in a rush but was willing to meet with me in person. Salim was sad when the show got cancelled because he hoped it would promote his downtown T.O clothing store, 'REMIX'. The show supposed to feature different ethnic young people living partying together, and of course causing drama. Well, before the potential show hit air, drama already started with one cast member stating racist remarks against the another. Most people felt the show in general was racist and did not really reflect on the multiculturalism and diversity of Toronto.
