[tpm] country hacker, city hacker

[Alex Beamish]

Hi Uri,

I can offer to help out as a member of the welcoming committee. I live in
East York, where an apartment can be had for not too much cash, but where
it's still fairly close to public transit.

Please feel free to have the 'country hacker' contact me directly for
information on Toronto.
