C'mon. Torontonians like free things as much as anyone else. We will line up for hours for a free trinket. It's just one anecdote. Maybe she didn't advertise it properly as free. That's one thing about Torontonians. People only take it if it says free. I don't know how many times people have approached my door when I left something out on my lawn to confirm that I was giving it away.
