Need Furniture

As some of my Canadians friends should know, I have recently rented a house in the greater Toronto region to live in over the summer and also for my parents to live in when they come over from Taiwan/Malaysia. It is an empty house. When I say empty I don't mean that it actually does have a lamp, or a bed, or a flat screen TV. When I say empty, I mean empty. Though it does have a kitchen with a fridge.

In the spirit of resourcefulness, I'm trying to acquire furniture through the most financially sound means conceivable. In other words, I'm cheap and would like free furniture that you guys don't want. I'll also pay for stuff too if asked just to be fair. I may be cheap but I understand that there's no such thing as a free lunch. So if you see any good prices and listings or shops, let me know.

Below are what I need, or at least what I can think of right now. They are for your reference and also for mine when I go shopping after moving in.

These are what I have already gotten as of now:
Dining table
TV stand
A set of leather sofa

As for what I need:
Queen size bed and stand for parents
Mat or something that I can use to sleep on, futon works too
Coffee table, for the living room
Desk, for my computer
Chairs and/or barstools (for granite kitchen island)
Extra couch/sofa?
Curtains, 2 sets I think
Plates, bowls, and silverware. Pans and pots too. I'll probably just buy these.
50" HDTV with optional PS3 (games accepted but not required)
Other things that I may have missed but are usually found in an apartment
爸媽, 我忘記什麼了話跟我說一聲

Please let me know if you, your parents, your neighbor, or your rich uncle has extra stuff to give away.

I also still need help with moving and also shopping for extra furniture after moving in.
I'm planning on moving either May 1st or May 2nd, from my current residence on campus to Markham (Pacific Mall region).
You can't refuse this now can you? Pretty please? Leave a message and help a poor, international university student out.
