In Toronto, one of the most unique buildings is Casa Loma.
This castle-style mansion is over 100 years old and was built with secret passages, a bowling alley and an oven large enough to cook an entire ox.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.
