1. how lovely for there to be a place that sells disgustingly overpriced t-shirts accross the street from CAMH, where impoverished and marginalized people are seeking help. almost insulting; and doubtful that GP will ever do anything to help the needy people who have been seeking solace accross the street for decades. surely their only interaction will be to bar them from the store.

2. If you wanna bitch about something it should be the welfare system!

3. I don’t understand why a retail store should be required to do anything to help the clients of CAMH? As a mental health worker I don’t think it is reasonable to expect stores to do this. As well, I’ve noticed that when CAMH clients go into the store the staff are nothing but friendly and treat them like everyone else! Don’t judge this store based on CAMH and its location in relation. Half of the stores on Ossington sell similar merchandise, they are catering to a certain type of person. Also I don’t think you know very many clients that are served by CAMH, they are not all impoverished and marginalized, do not make assumptions and cast stereotypes when you clearly do not have a good understanding of the mental health system.

4. CAMH – oh please. don’t feel sorry for them. They received last November the single biggest donation from the Campbell family (grand daughter of Roy Thomson) in Canadian history of $30 million.

5. they arent required to do anything. some businesses have a sense of community and some dont. gravity pope does not – it is an elitist establishment which will absolutley do nothing for the neighbourhood except be one more nail in the coffin of gentrification.

   their prices and the frivilous, extravagant lifestyle they promote are offensive. BTW of course not everyone at camh is “marginalized” but the whole city knows that many of their clients are.

   I dont feel sorry for CAMH, but I do think its a disgusting irony to be selling thousand dollar boots accross the street from many people who can barely afford shoes.

6. We should be happy that CAMH is now located in a vibrant, dynamic section of the city and not outcast to an impoverished, derelict and downtrodden area.

7. Superficial lifestyle… trying to buy coolness? Losers

8. some people need to relax and just read the article for what its about: a store opening. this has nothing to do with camh except for the fact that its across the street. so post on your negative camh-related comments on another article. so many negative people out there!

10. Great store, great people, great atmosphere. Can’t ask for much more.

11. It might be expensive but most of the brands they carry is high quality. I tend to think of Gravitypope as the type of store you shop at for clothing and shoes you want to last for a long time and withstand trends to the point of timelessness. I certainly cannot afford it on a weekly or monthly basis but I’m saving up for Trippen shoes that I KNOW will last forever. This isn’t discardable fashion of H&M and XXI. So, before you rag on how expensive it is just keep in mind it caters to a clientele that appreciate quality and don’t necessarily shop as much as you think. The sales staff is quite knowledgable and friendly. It is everything I expected expectation-wise.

12. I got myself §80 jeans and §65 Converse from the store….
