Great story and great writing. Encouraged me to get off the couch and get writing. Dundas used to be a great place to go. Even the elevators.

Memories of hanging out downtown, going the the record shops!! Also, we agree, it is Dundas Square!

Great story, great writing. Hopefully you don’t get burned at the stake before the next one. Methinks there is more fodder for similar stories to come

Interesting story; darker than your usual. Your story telling is effective in highlighting a disturbing trend

You hit it out of the park again. You've got such a great sense of humour and can wring comedy out of a ... like, serious topic. 😁 I think we can all use more of that skill. It's a buffer against the all too easy route to hatred. Love your neighbour. It's hard but the alternative is hell. Thanks for this little piece of heaven, Colleen.

Thank you, Katherine! Yep, let’s let the flaming Speedo’s drop and focus on what matters. God bless.

Funny and sad at the same time. We need to start disseminating this message, and railing against these crimes against civil society. We’re better than this. Please repost this message.
