Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Toronto

HoHoTO: Toronto's most fun holiday party of the year!
HoHoTO 3.0, the GTA’s best holiday party is being held this Wednesday, December 16th, 7PM at the Mod Club. With all the proceeds benefitting Toronto’s Daily Bread Food Bank, the event is already expected to reach the stated goal of $40,000. HoHoTO began as a crowdsourced event over Twitter, with a goal of raising $10,000 for the food bank. After blowing past their original goal and raising $25,000, the organizers decided to raise the bar even higher! This is a sold out event, although donations are still being accepted online at www.hohoTO.ca.

Looks like the folks at WIND Mobile (the Globalive team) have a great sense of humour as they prepare to go after the big mobile carriers. Don’t think mobile pricing is messed up in Canada? Then watch watch happens when a hot dog vendor tries to adapts traditional mobile billing fees to his own business:
