May is Mental Health Awareness month.... 👇🏼 We would see far fewer mental health struggles if people had stable housing, food in the fridge, and the ability to pay their bills without constant fear. Financial stress crushes people, poverty creates anxiety and instability creates trauma. Pretending money has no impact on mental health is a privilege!

A lot of people are under the mistaken impression that progress means advances in tech. Real progress is kids who are literate, free meals for public school students, a culture in which human art & poetry are celebrated. We're regressing rapidly & the only way forward is to read.

Beautiful new whole-Earth photo. I love to zoom in and see the changing fine details, like the green glow of the aurora near the poles. A beauty of extreme exploration is that we better discover and understand our home.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

JUST IN: Conservatives and Liberals work together to make Basic Income happen in PEI. "Poverty is a policy choice. Let's choose a different policy." GBI can cost 5% of what poverty costs, with virtually 0 work impact. PEI's Progressive Conservative leadership has been for it.

In Finland, libraries lend out tools, sewing machines, musical instruments, and even sports equipment, not just books, so everyone has access to things they might not be able to afford

BREAKING: Ontario is defunding all supervised consumption sites, effective June 13th. This won’t stop drug use. It will stop people from surviving it. Expect more overdoses. More brain damage. More public drug use. More preventable deaths. Cruelty is not public safety.

Homelessness is not a lifestyle, it's a chain reaction ... It’s rent increases. It’s job loss. It’s eviction. It’s domestic violence. It’s reentry from prison. It’s untreated trauma. It’s a mental health crisis. It’s relapse. It’s system failure. It’s everything collapsing at once. If we’re serious about solutions, we can’t just build housing and call it a day. We need prevention. We need income stability. We need coordinated discharge planning. We need mental health and addiction treatment. We need reentry support. Because homelessness isn’t a character flaw. It’s a policy failure!

If you can fund war, you can fund healthcare. If you can fund war, you can fund housing. If you can fund war, you can feed the hungry. The money exists. Compassion just isn’t the priority. What sad times we are in!

The Pope’s Lenten suggestion: “A very practical and frequently unappreciated form of abstinence: that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor….Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgment, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves. Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities…In this way, words of hatred will give way to words of hope and peace,”

No one deserves to starve. No one deserves to be homeless. No one deserves to be abandoned or mistreated. Recovery taught me something powerful: People can’t heal while they’re hungry, homeless, and hurting. Food. Housing. Healthcare. These aren’t luxuries, they are human rights. Real recovery means we stop leaving people behind.

Such a horrific tragedy in Tumbler Ridge. I can’t imagine the shock and grief for everyone there, and pray that the wounded survive. Dealing with the aftermath will be so incredibly hard. My heart aches for the families and community.

Shelters are a band‑aid. They don’t fix the deeper issues. Real change means tackling root causes — affordable housing, fair wages, Increases to ODSP, accessible healthcare, and stronger support systems — so fewer people ever need a shelter in the first place.

my therapist told me this and it hit me: “healing is so hard because it is a constant battle between your inner child who is scared and just wants safety.... your inner teenager who is angry and just wants justice.... and your current self-who is tired and just wants peace."

We keep talking about mental health while ignoring the conditions that destroy it. Safe housing. Stable income. Healthcare. Free counseling. Community and connection. These aren’t “extras” — they are treatment. They helped me rebuild my life, and they can help millions more.

I don’t mind how you read, whether physical books, audiobooks or ebooks, as long as you read. Read consistently. Read widely. Read to learn. Read to explore. Read to satisfy your curiosity. Read just for fun. But whatever you do, keep reading.

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.

The gifts of recovery ... I remember vividly when I left the DTES over a decade ago I had one set of clothes and a pair of sandals on my feet. A short time later I met a guy at an AA meeting who noticed I didn't have much, and offered to take me shopping .... I let him know that I don't have any money and was in no position to pay him back, his response was, "I didn't ask you to pay me back, but if you stick around in recovery you'll understand one day". A few years later I married that man's daughter 😂 Today I understand how important paying things forward is .... and I am now in the position where I can help. I just took a friend out who lives in the DTES and we went shopping for some clothes and groceries for Christmas.
