Santa Claus fundI would suggest that the complainers do some volunteering to improve things . You are right , I have no idea how this is run , but if it makes one child joyous at Christmas , then that's O.K. with me . I have sent my donation in and hope others do so also . My understanding is that 40 thousand or so children receive a gift box . I like the idea that 100 % of the money for the boxes are allocated for the children , even if there is some waste at the end . I keep mouse traps in my house too , because they occasionally get in . I still give Torstar an "A " for at least trying . In the future , I would rather concentrate on what's happening to our " B " shares .
