Brenda Carol MacDonald would like to thank all the people who helped her run for City Councillor position in ward 31, Beaches/East York. Brenda MacDonald and a handful of incredible supporters/volunteers, students and friends managed to walk the entire ward on foot. We hand-delivered flyers (pieces of recycled paper) to over 47,000 households.

We were not able to speak with every household and are sorry that there were so few of us to get around to do so. Please understand that this was not intentional and we hope to meet you all someday soon. Considering the time, effort and expense that we could take, we feel we did the best we could at this time for ward 31.

The undeniable needs of the ward are my reasons for running.

The site http://www.brendacarolmacdonald.com will remain online as a resource and sounding-board for 'all things' ward 31 and Toronto. It will be arranged much like a blog with links to what I believe are important issues affecting the citizens of Toronto. Thanks again for your support and encouragement.

Carry On...

My Sincere Thanks, Brenda

PS I will still sing, play and record music all my life.

“Melancholia”, CD Review by Brenda Carol

2010-02-13T19:00:00.000-08:00

Among the incredible heap of great Canadian women singer/songwriters Janine Stoll stands tall. Her company is steep: Joni Mitchell, Alanis Morrisette, Sarah Mclachlan, Sienna Dahlen and kd Lang. And although Stoll's songs seem to come from some sorted, sorrowful place on her 4th independent release, "Melancholia", Stoll holds the songs together like tiny, threads of breath, defining the magic of words and song captured in time. Her lyrical glimpses give us just an inkling of how powerful and passionate her voice really is. In listening to this cd one can envision a very, dynamic, live performance.

With Stoll's determination she can exude confidence, pride, honour, respect, dignity, sadness all in a few, healthy notes - a marvelous intensity really! Stoll's sheer integrity shining through each song. Stoll's story-songs help us to believe in what she is feeling. Creating a listening empathy for her tales. The stars are very bright for this young songstress!
