My @thestar.com column: Toronto’s a ridiculously wealthy city. But why does it seem like so many of the city’s rich are more likely to complain about bike lanes or property taxes than they are to ever write a cheque?

A call for a culture of real philanthropy.

7 January 1792: #OTD Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Women was published.
