Indie 88,  Babsocks Helping Toronto's Homeless

By Aaron Brophy

While the debate is still ongoing as to whether the firing of high-profile hockey coach Mike Babcock by the Toronto Maple Leafs was a good thing,, one group of people have benefitted from his dismissal — Toronto's homeless.


That's because Major League Socks, the makers of signature socks featuring the likenesses of current and alumni National Hockey League players, will be donating 1,000 pairs of "Babsocks" — socks featuring Babcock's image on them — towards Toronto radio station Indie88's "Socks for the Streets" campaign.

An annual event hosted by Indie 88 radio show host Josie Dye and supported by homeless outreach support organization Socks 4 Souls Canada, the goal of Socks for the Streets is to collect donated socks throughout the month of December and then distribute them to the city's homeless. The annual campaign has been such a success that musical acts frequently challenge each other to donate and drop by the station to make donations.

"Socks for the Streets started a few years ago when we realized that there was a crisis in our city," said Josie Dye, in a statement. "We talk about Toronto being this world-class place, yet we have hundreds of people freezing on the streets every year. This campaign is all about addressing that reality and making sure we’re keeping our fellow Torontonians warm."

For Major League Socks it was about turning a negative event into a positive.

Drake et Chris Brown dans le clip de « No Guidance »

Drake et Chris Brown feraient l'objet d'un autre procès pour violation de droits d'auteur concernant le tube de 2019 « No Guidance »

Après qu'une autre procédure a été abandonnée il y a deux ans, une nouvelle plainte allègue que la chanson viole les droits d'auteur de la chanson « I Got It » de Tykeiya (2016).

Drake pourrait avoir besoin de conseils dans le cadre d'un nouveau procès. La superstar canadienne est citée dans un procès aux côtés de Chris Brown, alléguant que leur tube de 2019 « No Guidance » copie un titre de 2016, « I Got It » de Tykeiya, comme l'a rapporté Music Business Worldwide. « No Guidance » a atteint la cinquième place du Billboard Hot 100 et s'est classé en tête de plusieurs classements tels que Hot R&B Songs et R&B/Hip-hop Airplay, tout en dépassant le milliard d'écoutes sur Spotify.

Les chanteurs ont déjà fait l'objet d'un procès qui a été abandonné en 2022, mais la nouvelle plainte provient d'autres parties. Tykeiya Dore et Marc Stephens poursuivent Drake, Brown et les autres auteurs de la chanson (Nija Charles, Michee Lebrun et Tyler Bryant) et producteurs (Anderson Hernandez, Joshua Huizar, Teddy Walton et Noah Shebib).
