What one dementia patient’s tragic, preventable death tells us about the health system’s failings. A lack of investment in preventing problems invariably leads to an endless series of costly crises, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Not hard to get behind this one! "We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to stop funding Stornoway as a private residence for the Leader of the Official Opposition." #cdnpoli www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Our civil rights are never fully secure in a nation where so many White people hate Black people

Since he always orders the same thing, to the point where it's a catchphrase, you would think the food replicator would not make him spell it out every time.

Three years of war in #Sudan have disrupted basic services, displaced millions and devastated the health system. Sudan is facing the world’s largest humanitarian crisis marked by disease, hunger, displacement & despair. Sudan's people need peace. #3YearsTooLong

Move more. Feel better. It really is that simple. This #InternationalDayOfHappiness, find your reason to get active 💙

Over 1 million people are now displaced in Lebanon as families flee continued Israeli strikes and evacuation warnings. Many left their homes in a rush, carrying only what they could. Shelters are filling up, resources are running low and humanitarian needs are rising rapidly.

Here's an idea: fix your own mess.

If AI had a face it would be this.

Online bullying leaves no bruises. But the damage is real. If you’re a parent, guardian, or educator — know what it looks like. Know what to do. Because children seldom ask for help until it’s gone too far. Bullying is never okay. Silence makes it worse.

I've had enough of that guy.

Breaking news! I have my first opinion piece in the Toronto Star today! I got to make fun of John Tory AND make a joke about me playing for the Blue Jays, so it's safe to say that this was the most fun I've had writing something in a while. 💙 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I hope we understand the assignment the next time pedophile supporter Auston Matthews faces off in Canada and boo the shit out of him.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

We are renewing our call for urgent funding to scale up lifesaving aid in Burundi. The country is under intensifying humanitarian pressure as it hosts over 90,000 refugees who have escaped conflict in the DR Congo in the past three months.

Sudan remains the world’s largest displacement and worst humanitarian crises, unfolding in the wake of the most severe global funding crunch in decades. ℹ️ Learn more: www.unhcr.org/news/briefin...

Fuck Jeff Bezos. My god. These billionaires are destroying everything that makes the world good and fair.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Alex Pretti, a Minnesota ICU nurse who dedicated his life to helping, was executed today in cold blood on a street I regularly visit. “He felt that doing the protesting was a way to express ... his care for others..." This is the act of a tyrannical government without boundaries.

Floodwaters are rising. Families are fleeing. Needs are growing by the hour. Severe flooding has affected 600,000+ people in southern Mozambique, triggering new displacement. UNHCR is supporting the Government-led response and stands ready to scale it up.

A Russian drone attack hit residential buildings in Dnipro, Ukraine, yesterday. This is yet another strike in a war that continues through the depths of winter. With temperatures dropping to –15°C, families are left facing destroyed homes with life-threatening needs.

How many people have to say it? ICE is out of control, and racist as f*ck. This is ICE culture “They opened the door and asked if I was afraid yet? I said, ‘Absolutely NOT.’ Then they said it, ‘Well, you’re white and it wouldn’t be any fun and told me to get out of the car.’” - Rev Callaghan

The UN Headquarters should have been moved out of the United States years ago, but that effort should be taken seriously and even accelerated in light of renewed US hostility to the UN Charter, international law, and the UN itself.

There’s an epidemic of people using Grok to do sexual violence to women on Twitter. Yet Canadian politicians, media etc have failed to adopt another platform en masse, making it near-impossible to fully disengage and be tapped in to vital conversations and information. What are we doing.

It's astounding what can be accomplished when hundreds of sycophants all suck up at once.

This year’s UNHCR #NansenAward honours five heroes bringing hope in crisis. From Cameroon to Ukraine, their courage shows what it means to stand with displaced people — with dignity, safety and compassion. unh.cr/NDDffU

Forcibly displaced women and girls are facing unthinkable violence — and many are left without care. Funding gaps mean fewer services, less protection and more lives in danger. Survivors cannot wait. #16Days

Alberta's government is engaged in something I can only describe as psychopathic politics. What else do you call it when a government so set on pushing ahead with policies that WILL cause more trans youth to try to leave us? When they'll trample on the charter to hurt these kids? It's disturbing:

At least three journalists in Nigeria have been detained since August on allegations of violating the country’s Cybercrime Act, despite last year’s reform of the law, highlighting its ongoing use to harass the media. One journalist has been behind bars since mid-September.

“America loves the myth of a meritocracy more than anything else, because it lets us ignore the reality of the impact of bigotry." — Mikki Kendall

🚨A protection crisis is escalating fast in Sudan’s Darfur and Kordofan regions. UNHCR warns thousands are fleeing violence—many for the second or third time—as conditions on the ground deteriorate rapidly.

Today is International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists 2025. Globally, 85% of journalist killings go unpunished, according to UNESCO, eroding accountability and enabling crime, corruption and human-rights abuses. #EndImpunity

#31daysofgraves Day 17 - Relocated 1/2 Andrew Geddes (1782-1865) and his wife Margaret Saunders (1782-1850) were buried in the churchyard of St. John's Anglican in Elora. In the 1870s the church relocated downtown, and in 1906 Andrew and Margaret were reinterred in the municipal cemetery.

#31daysofgraves Day 16 - Obelisk Obelisk lying on the forest floor at Elora Cemetery (Ontario, Canada). The grave memorializes Jane Bye (1831-1891) and her daughter Minetta Howse (1864-1889). In 2010 the obelisk was off but solidly upright; it appears to have been pushed over.

#31daysofgraves Day 14 - Damaged This marble stone in Elora Cemetery fell over 6 weeks ago, almost 160 years after it was erected. It joins many dozens of 19th century stones in the cemetery that now lay flat, broken and sinking into the earth.
