Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Togetherness for Gordon and Wihna Metcalfe is just 25 minutes of frantic rush early in the morning. Because their rent went up $35 - to $220 - things will be that way for another two years while Wilma works to help pay it and save a bit for a down payment on a home. Gregory; 3; and Bradley; 4; are out of bed by 7:20 a.m. and the family is gulping its breakfast five minutes later. Their story is likely to be repeated again and again as Metro rents continue to sky-rocket.

I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me. Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]
