“There is a house
A very special house
That sits on Cootes and Main
You may drive by
And not think twice
But it is shelter for families pain.” (C. Dimitroff)

Thank you to the amazing staff at Ronald McDonald House for all that you do. Such a special place

Globe and Mail: Residents in Kapuskasing, the town northwest of Timmins where a pulp mill shutdown threatened thousands of jobs, before a possible government lifeline emerged this week, may reasonably want the premier to spend less time and political capital on removing bicycle lanes in downtown Toronto. Drivers who want investments to make dangerous rural highways safer may wonder at a transportation policy so laser-focused on banning urban speed cameras. And residents province-wide may question why they should pay for the spa at Ontario Place.
