Please don’t do this. Kids deserve to have fun on Halloween.

Don’t put the responsibility of feeding a family on the shoulders of a trick-or-treater. Let kids be kids. Kids like candy.

You can help people experiencing food insecurity by donating to food banks.

2/2 They said we were just in time for the next tour. We explained we had returned to pay for the tour we’d just been on. They thanked us for our honesty. We replied, “Of course we came back to pay. We’re Canadian!”

I guess someone told CTV News Ottawa that their former headline was both inaccurate and racist so they decided to change it.
Revised headline by CTV New Ottawa replacing the phrase “17-year-old man” with word “Teen”.

The difference between these two headlines. CTV News Ottawa calls him a 17-year-old “man”. I wonder how different the headline would be if the deceased was white. CBC Ottawa news correctly identifies his as a “teen”. Words matter.
CTV Ottawa news headline referring to a Black murder victim as a “17-year-old man”. He was a child. CBC Ottawa News headline about the murder of a 17-year-old. They use the correct term: teen

Is 16 butter tarts, a dozen pieces of fudge and a butter tart filled donut too much for a two-person household? Asking for a friend.
