Porteous’ motivation for planning this charity tour came from him learning of the work done by the Canadian Women's Foundation. "It’s freighting to think that 21% of women in Canada are raising their children while struggling with poverty" said Porteous. "The Canadian Women’s Foundation is there to help women across the country who deserve the well needed support. It brings me great joy to be able to support the Canadian Women’s Foundation with this music tour." "We’re thrilled that David chose to support the Canadian Women’s Foundation through his East Coast Music Tour" said Jessica Howard, a Senior Writer at the Canadian Women's Foundation. "After a chance meeting with one of our staff members, he generously offered to donate the proceeds of his concerts to the Foundation. The funds raised will help women and girls across Canada move out of violence, out of poverty, and into confidence. Thank you, David!" Including an anonymous corporate donation, Porteous helped raise over $3600 for the foundation. Radiohead called on Live Nation to "admit their part" in the accident. War Music was chosen as the Top Film Pick of the Day by blogTO. Janice Forsyth, host of the BBC's The Movie Café said David Porteous is "not only a talented singer/songwriter, but a talented filmmaker."
