Hope you enjoy it.
I can't begin to describe how annoying the city street hustlers are here in Toronto, with their clipboards and aggressive sales pitches. I'm pretty annoyed by many charities-are you?
Here's an excerpt from my column:
"The litmus test of any alleged ‘do good’ organization must always be
“how can I get what you are offering.” This is brilliant in its
simplicity. The degree to which it is easy or impossible for a person in
need to access the said service or assistance is the measure of its
integrity."
"...anyone who donates any money to any
organization should make it a priority to inquire how the intended
recipients of assistance get what the organization promises to deliver."
