I do CAMH's Gifts of Light, donate through my paycheque to United Way and also "buy" livestock through Plan Canada. Also, via shelters and missions, you can "adopt" a family and shop for the specific gifts they need/want. Here's another good list -...

These accounts are so bizarre. Dormant for years, almost no followers, and then all of a sudden the person's tweeting up a storm about the Fords. Can abandoned accounts be bought?

Read from bottom to top..."off her lazy ass."

I think Olivia is totally qualified and in a better situation, she would have had my vote. I would like to see the diversity of the city reflected in its politicians and feel like we've progressed. There's still white privilege to consider, even if Tory denies it. ;)

I voted Tory. Had I not been so scared of another Ford era, I may have voted for Chow, or even Goldkind or Baskin for symbolic show of support. But I just felt I couldn't risk it. The "vote with your heart/vote Chow" movement on my Facebook is scaring me a bit...if the vote ends up being split...

"Doug Ford has great experience in doing the job of a Mayor, since he has been his brothers right hand and apologist. The others have no experience." Umm... "Me, I am voting because I feel tremendous guilt in the inhumane way that entire family was treated. Many of us will give him the...

Why does Warmington retweet stuff like this? https://twitter.com/russd27/status/517357739744309248

I worked for my dad's company as a teenager too...and I got the job because we're related. No other reason, really. It's not like I had an interview.

Daniel Dale seems to be livetweeting and keeps quoting Tory or is he doing a rehash?

I'm confused, isn't Tory there?

Earlier this summer I met a councillor in an informal setting. I just had to bring up FoFam and s/he told me that s/he recognized that Doug didn't know how to debate so s/he tried to give him some pointers and he said he wasn't interested in facts, that "opinions sounded better." I think that...

Did someone already point out that the loons at IHTWOMF are now comparing UT to ISIS? Good times.

Works for me.

My first home was in Etobicoke...we moved when I was a kid but my family kept in touch with some others who stayed, and they confirmed the Doug story too. Kids of a certain age knew who Doug was and what he was up to. And the threatened legal action against the Globe that never happened should...

OMG I love you.

And I have a ticket to Thursday's mayoral debate. Was looking forward to it.
