Re: SunnySide initiative

I propose that on Friday, May 29, every daytime worker do not bring a lunch if they can possibly buy it for that day. That includes coffee or tea. The exceptions, of course, would be if it’s financially impossible or there’s no cafés or restaurants near them.

This would give all local cafés and restaurants across Canada immense business for at least one day.

May 29 should generate enough business to get some money circulating from British Columbia to Newfoundland. If it works, perhaps the following month do it again on June 26.

The agenda for the current G20 meeting in France was originally to be about helping the poor and hungry of the world. Of course all the headlines now are about Europe and Greece.
