Thank you for the music Gordon Lightfoot. What a gift you shared with so many.
Here is Bob Dylan inducting Lightfoot into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1986.

Councillors vote soon! In this housing & shelter crisis there's nowhere for people to go. Sign @progresstoronto's petition to urge councillors to keep drop-in access warming spaces open 24/7 so there is always somewhere to go and no one is turned away https://t.co/On8HjSet2J

In a shameful move, Doug Ford and John Tory are undermining democracy in Toronto with Bill 39, that allows the mayor to win votes with the support of only 1/3 of City Council. Majority rule is a key part of democracy. Sign @progresstoronto's petition https://t.co/PwcB9abwcC
