We accomplished so many new things in 2025, from our live podcast, to our essay writing contest, new partners, and so much more.

Here is a recap of just some of the highlights of 2025. We can’t wait to see what the next year brings for the 44 North. ✊

What is your Spotify age? 💬 Because our 'reading the news' age has to be 100 years old after the stress of 2025. This year has aged us. 👵

🚨 Do not take the right to #protest for granted! 🚨

The arrest of #MahmoudKhalil, a Palestinian refugee whose green card was revoked over his involvement in demonstrations at #ColumbiaUniversity, is having a chilling effect on college campuses across America.

How do you deal with #politicalanxiety? 💬

It is nearly impossible to escape the flow of political news and information. Whether it’s 24-hour news channels or algorithms feeding constant content on social media, politics is everywhere and can have real psychological impact.

#BellLetsTalk has stirred up some controversy in the past. And the good news is, you can do more for #MentalHealth on this day than just donating to Bell.

As important as it is to raise awareness for this issue, we can all decide how we do that and where we focus our energy. 💬

“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.”

For an individual, one of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again in the same way and expecting different results.

For a government, such behaviour is called...policy.

As Palestinian-American writer Edward Said once said:

"Humanism is the only––I would go so far as saying the final––resistance we have against the inhuman practices and injustices that disfigure human history."
