[wirelesstoronto-discuss] [wirelesstoronto-board] WT: Potential funding opportunity?

[Gabe Sawhney]

This looks like a good program!  Wireless Toronto could benefit from it, but
the application would be a lot of work.

Because I look for the negative things first:
- "Priority will be given to organizations or enterprises located in
communities in Southern Ontario with populations of 500,000 or less, as well
as to communities whose economies are less diversified and/or are reliant on
a limited number of employers." [

- When you cross-reference that with the big story in today's Globe and
Star, it makes it seem like a bit of a long-shot:

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/stimulus/article/714054--tories-starve-toronto-s-red-ridings-mp-charges

Still, there's something to work with here.  If someone's interested in
leading the charge, I'll help however I can.
