Toronto, that is, where McLuhan studied with the great Harold Innis, one of the most interesting media theorists of the last century. I am here at the request of Martin Waxman, president of Toronto-based PalettePR, a great PR boutique with a strong consumer practice. I met Martin several years ago at Counselors Academy, when social media was still a novelty. A lot has happened since, and that's the subject of a talk I gave this morning for Palette's staff and clients. I will do it again, this evening, at CPRS Toronto. We're expecting a really good crowd, and afterwards we'll retire to a special Third Tuesday organized by Joseph Thornley, another Toronto PR pro I met at Counselor's Academy.
If you are in Toronto this evening, and you want to chat about PR, social media, or Marshall McLuhan, please drop by. We'll be ready for you.
Hi Giovanni,
I'm looking forward to both events tonight - I worked with Joe at Thornley Fallis organizing the Third Tuesday events every month, so I'm interested to hear what you think of what we've done with them here in Canada. I just hope the cold hasn't bothered you too much!
And a big thanks to Martin for inviting you to Toronto!

Hello Giovanni,
A friend of mine brought me to the Third Tuesday event last night. It was nice meeting you there. Although time was short, it was still a good experience hearing all yor inputs.
I hope you enjoyed your stay in Toronto. Come back again soon.
