An interesting take that governments think the solution to the global housing crisis is private enterprise. Profits, scarcity and competition have never solved a public emergency.

Living with porphyria is like carrying a hidden storm system inside your body. On the surface, things can look calm—your day moving along, routines intact. But then the weather shifts.

Why Partners Disappear: The Psychology of Ghosting
When someone you're dating vanishes without a word, it’s more than silence—it’s a story. Why people ghost, how it affects you, and what it really says about them.

Today's threat of eminent collapse is from leaders who are “walking versions of the dark triad” – narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism – in a world menaced by the climate crisis, nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence and killer robots.

We can learn a lot about a person simply through a face, and it’s the single most unique way of identifying someone. For those of us with prosopagnosia, or face blindness, connecting these clues doesn’t come easily.

When we only look at how autism appears, then we miss the mark. The challenge with a lot of inexperienced researchers is in taking an amorphous condition like autism and trying to segment it is asking for trouble.

Inter-generational relationships are very common between Generation X (late 40s to early 60s) and younger generations.

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns, yet most men don’t talk about it or ask for help. This episode is called Facing Anxiety.

While looks may open the door, trust should be earned through true personality, not charisma or curated image.

Watch out for the dark triad. If you like them right away based on personality and looks, that's often a red flag.

@apnews.com @robgillies It's important to remember when referring to King Charles as head of state of Canada that you not style him as "III". Canada has only ever known one King Charles as head of state.

An HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. Yet despite this medical progress, a curious and painful paradox remains: many people newly diagnosed with HIV today still spiral into psychological and behavioural crises—even as their physical health is preserved.

As a people manager for 4+ decades, clear & regular communication to be the most important thing in a work environment. My first immersive job was in early high school, and I believe strongly in the education, growth & independence that come through working — whether it’s paid, volunteer, or remote.

It's important for Canadians to unite in our commitment to support our nation's economy. That means buying Canadian first and European second. Watch your labels and choose a country other than the US to invest your vacation money.

In the GTA, mental health support is more critical than ever. We must prioritize accessible, affordable services for all by expanding Medicare to include mental health. The alternative is a lower quality of life, higher healthcare costs, and increased strain on our communities. #MentalHealthMatters

In Toronto, it costs up to $100,000 per person per year to support someone experiencing homelessness through emergency services and healthcare. In comparison, housing subsidies costs around $30,000 per person annually, saving money and improving lives. #HousingFirst #EndHomelessness
