CASH FOR GNOMES? Re "Sir Elton has him Starz struck" (May 27): It's nice to see my hard earned tax dollars going to help Sir Elton John finish his movie about garden gnomes. Garden gnomes? Are you kidding me? Kids are learning in buildings that are falling down around them, people are lying on hospital beds in hallways for hours waiting to get treatment or see a doctor, we seem to have a shootout somewhere at least once a week in Toronto and the police are stretched to the limit -- yet we have $23 million for Sir Elton to finish a movie about garden gnomes. Yikes.STEVE INGHAM OSHAWA
Actress/director Catherine Hernandez and photographer Alex Felipe tell me there is an event tomorrow at 1:30 p.m., Kapisanan Philippine Centre, 167 Augusta Ave., to raise awareness for under appreciated Filipina nannies in a province where we don't have enough money to ensure they receive minimum wage but do have $23 million handed out by a gushing Premier McGuinty to Elton John and his partner David Furnish for their movie project. Yes, when the left's bender is over, it's going to be some hangover folks. But forget about that today and enjoy your weekend.
Scrawler out! JOE.WARMINGTON@SUNMEDIA.CA
