I can't believe how society deals with the sick & destitute -- first they try to lock you up in hospices (places to die soon); then they keep making these creeping arrangements for funerals BEHIND MY BACK!
Hey folks I'm alive, ok? Face it! I'm in real bad shape, but, still keep on truckin!
Vultures of the world, religion industry and cancer industry leaches, leave me alone! I love being at home and that's where I want to be!!! (or travelling whenver possible)
Let's live a day a a time, always enjoying the sun, friends' love & all that is around!
Keep all the morbid talk to yourselves you doomers!

I miss you LEON
Hans Sweden
hey leon, so sad you're gone. it was great knowing you. your performances at Shake Well in the early 90s really changed the way i thought about making work. always enjoyed talking to you. miss you.
and, please, warm a seat for me; it's only a matter of a few years.
I first met you through a great cartoon you published about Caribana. You've had a unique viewpoint always and I'm so sorry it's not in this world any more.
"What is good for USA, is not necessarily good for Canada". Leon. Miss you in kensington, and now I miss you on earth.

arrgh... another good one bites the dust. But Leon certainly shook that dust as high (or low) as he could. Never let that dust to settle!
missing your warmth and laffs!
hi Leon. we didn't get a chance to talk before you passed away. we lived together on Ossington for a brief period-- do you remember? it is hard to believe that you are not around and when i received the news from Susan via email a few days ago, it came as a really sad shock. i miss you and will think of you often, Andrew Szatmari

Leon did both of the above, leaving an exhausted and empty-handed crew behind. This was the ultimate disappearing act.
I always thought he would make a very interesting old man one day, maybe even a wise one. He had an old world/new world dichotomy about him, as if he were from a different time and place, but also always endeavouring to be hip with the times. If he had reached old aga, he might have been something like the funny old Jewish trouble-maker with all the speed boats in his documentary film.
Leon usually had a vision for things that he was doing that was apparent only to him. I couldn't understand an internet cafe in Toronto with lousy or non-existent coffee that would also be a book/junk shop and an art gallery among other things. I realize now it was a meeting place for people and that's the purpose that all of Leon's storefronts served. Seeing all his cartoons on a sign outside his final tiny storefront in the desolate Down Town East Side, I thought how much just that one little sandwich board animated a place that's pretty hard to animate.
And why run for mayor in one's final year of life? Because it made him feel alive, I guess.
Wanted to post about a new link to my site about my brother Leon.
I can promise you all that he still is there but not here.
He sended me some fantastic pictures with the letter L at the bottom.

I would like to bring this to the notice of the public about how I came in contact with Mr Pedro after I lost my sawmill job and was denied a loan by my bank and other financial institutions due to my credit score. I could not pay my children's fees. Furthermore, I was behind on bills, about to be thrown out of the house due to my inability to pay my rent, It was during this period my kids were taken from me by foster care. Then I set out to seek funds online where I read about Mr Pedro helping people with a loan online in which this email was stated (pedroloanss@gmail.com) somewhere on the internet, Still wasn't convinced because of what I have been through until a relative of mine who is a clergy also told me about the ongoing loan scheme at a very low interest rate of 2% and lovely repayment terms without penalty for default of payment. I had no choice than to also contact them, which I did. Mr Pedro responded back to me. That day was the best and greatest day of my life which can never be forgotten when I received a credit alert for the $400,000.00 USD loan amount I applied for. I utilized the loan effectively to pay up my debts and to start up a sawmill business, and today my kids and I are so happy and fulfilled. You can also contact them through email: (pedroloanss@gmail.com Or WhatsApp: +18632310632) Why am I doing this? I am doing this to save as many that are in need of a loan on the internet. Thanks and God bless you all, I'm Oleksander Artem from Horizon Park BC, Ukraine
