I've donated hundreds of thousands to the same institutions over the years. Difference is mine are called taxes and his are called write offs.

He can afford it I guess getting a stadium that cost us 400 million for what was it? 25 million and getting to put his name on it.

okay...why is this a story. I am not a Torontonian and don't know what he is done except as dajodo mentioned, his name is on a stadium. What's he done that's so great?

Actually, about 580 million.

But it was subsequently sold to some Sport Venue Outfit who ended up selling it to Rogers for 25 million yes.

Off the top of my head, $1,000,000 to Woodstock General Hospital this year, $15,000,000 to Ryerson University.

True.

Negative option billing - here are new stations that you have to pay for unless you call us and let us know you don't want them (all lines are busy please hold for the next decade and we may answer).

One Day at CRTC: Morning - by limiting the market to a select few cable
companies it ensures consistent quality programming and
allows for better pricing.
Afternoon - Phone companies have a monopoly on long
distance calls, opening the market will allow for more
competative rates and better service to customers.

A true innovator.
