The Toronto Star has kept things rolling today after columnist Edward Keenan found evidence that MP Kellie Leitch thinks Toronto has no sense of neighbourliness. Well, we know that’s wrong about South Bayview. But Keenan, and now Star writer Alicja Siekierkas, struck on Leitch’s reported reference to the cup-of-sugar test in these matters. The MP reportedly didn’t think you could get one from the family next door in Toronto. Well, by gum, that sent Canada’s largest newspaper and reporter Siekierkas out into, among other places Leaside, to find the truth. She went to “Stephen Harper’s street” Bessborough Drive and found Ken Rice and Fran Mackenzie. Bet your life these fine people would lend you a cup of sugar. They might even volunteer it. Apparently they shovel their neighbours’ walks from time to time. It is a courtesy not unknown around here (and elsewhere no doubt). Ken and Fran you are sooo refined.
