Michelle Obama always keeps it real. That’s why we love her.

This is how a decent and good person speaks about other decent and good people who died from a tragic murder.

Failing to deliver on housing will be disaster for Carney and for Canada. The housing crisis is serious and is impacting the futures of many people.
Claiming that the private sector will pick up the slack is the mantra of Paul Martin who put us in this disastrous slide.

Community isn’t something you show up to consume. It requires you to contribute, collaborate, and commit-create.

If you want community, you have to be community.

Same. At least once a week I think about this. Especially on behalf of my friend who lost both parents in four days, and my friend whose son lost his dad before he could say goodbye.
sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure

A masterclass from a rookie in Game 5 of the World Series. We might be talking about it forever in Toronto.

Gausman says this feels different than his 2022 playoff start because he “understands what it means to be a Blue Jay”

FACT: TFW’s are predominantly needed in agriculture, fisheries and trucking. There aren’t enough Canadians/kids to fill these jobs (or want these jobs).

FACT: Poilievre, yesterday’s man, is a dangerous liar looking for another way to foment fear and anger so he can become relevant.

Of course it is difficult to forgive betrayal, but refusal to do so ultimately binds one to the betrayer. To forgive is to recognize not only flawed humanity of the other but our own as well and in the end it is the only way to free the shackles of the past which bind us.~James Hollis

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
