@TerryJCooke @HamCommFdn “If I do not have the power to say ‘no’, then my ‘yes’ means nothing”. Through your leadership, people from all walks of life have had a seat at the table. It’s been a huge privilege to be part of the change that kind of innovative thinking has wrought in philanthropy.

@princepolity @Disability_WP While I am disappointed if not dismayed by the $200, DTC does NOT require income to qualify. It’s a a severe disability qualification. It was created for the parents of disabled dependents to get a tax break and later used for RDSP qualification.
