Every person I tell, I bring into the room. Sharing is a big part of my journey. #mentalhealth

This painting is right out of the vision I had about my daughter Rehtaeh walking past me and disappearing into a cloud of dust and ash as soon as she stepped outside. “Passage” (1894) by Finnish artist Anna Sofia Sahlstén. www.glencanning.com/2026/03/29/t...

If you know parents who are grieving the loss of a child, what can you possibly say? Those parents in Tumbler Ridge, struggling to make sense of this of such a horrific loss, and there are no words. So do something kind. #TumblerRidgeBC www.glencanning.com/2026/02/21/w...

My heart breaks for the people of Tumbler Ridge, B.C. "It's not about guns. It's not about [being trans] ... It's about mental health. It's about a lack of resources." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Living a life true to yourself starts with a single step of honesty. #mentalhealth #healing www.glencanning.com/2026/01/17/b...

Snowy Ottawa night.

Merry Christmas from Old Quebec! We wish you and yours peace.

Off we go to Old Quebec City for Christmas. I love taking the train. #VIA

I'm a big believer in the power of talking and sharing. If you're experiencing issues with anger please don't bottle it up inside. Tell someone. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

Common Earthball mushroom. It looks cool but it can hurt you. Near the Rideau Lakes, Ontario. #fungus

Beautiful sunset to end our time at the Rideau Lakes until 2026. #photography

From one animal lover to another, rest in peace Jane Goodall.

A tiny Pleated Inkcap mushroom (also called a Japanese Umbrella), begins its single day journey near Newboro, Ontario. By the evening it had vanished. #photography #nature #natureheals

The best medicine I have for my mental health is nature. There’s nothing like a walk along a quiet old country road in the morning. Wishing you a peaceful day ❤️ Glad you’re here friend.

Bumblebee hard at work as the fall arrives. Saw this one near the Rideau Lakes, Ontario. #macrophotography #photography #iphone17promax

The world needs to find itself and end this shameful murderfest. Good for Javier!

My daughter died 12 and a half years ago and last night my mind let me think it was her who just texted me. Those moments are as nice and they are sad and I'll cherish them either way. Suicide is so lonely and sad. If you need help please reach out and talk. www.glencanning.com/2025/09/15/a...

“To watch the descriptions of Palestinian suffering in much of mainstream Western media is to watch language employed for the exact opposite of language’s purpose—to watch the unmaking of meaning.” ― Omar El Akkad One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Bread in some form has been a part of humanity for at least ten thousand years and it’s a good skill to have. I made this sugar and salt free loaf today from memory with five ingredients: flour, honey, yeast, olive oil, and water. Perfect dipping bread.

The orange sunset caused by the forest fires is both beautiful and sad.

Came across an ant war during our morning walk and I noticed this big black ant carrying the severed corpse of its enemy while charging at their lines. Brutal. #photographersofbluesky #macrophotography

Saw this cool Dog Stick library during our early morning Ottawa walk. I miss having a dog 🥲

If judges are going to rule victims are too traumatized to be believed then what's the point of reporting? Why go to court at all? Why even pick up a phone and talk to a police officer? It's been the same failure for decades. Fuck our courts! Victims get more justice from an outraged public.

Last week I spent a day in the hospital, wondering why I didn't love myself enough to care that I was in heart attack range. #mentalhealth www.glencanning.com/2025/07/19/d...

If you think the amount of young men being radicalized by white nationalism is concerning, wait until you hear about the twenty years of unchallenged misogyny that came before it. Hate was spewing online before some of these guys were even born. Doing nothing did this. www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

Happy Canada Day from the beautiful Rideau Lakes. #Canada 🇨🇦

Today’s 50 years ago the movie JAWS hit the theatre and ruined me for swimming in Lake Ontario for the summer. I was 12, my parents took me. But , it did peak my interest in SCUBA diving so that was good.

I’m so happy we got out on a lake, finally. This is my wife Krista’s first time canoeing. #RideauLakes #Ontario www.glencanning.com/2025/06/16/f...

America - With all due respect, we’ll pass on becoming your 51st state. #cdnpoli

The best thing I’ve used in my life for my mental health has always been to go for a walk. The second best is to have a dog to remind me I have to get up. Wherever you are today I hope you know life isn’t always hopeless. You’ll find peace in yourself when it gets to talk to you.

Dome opening at the Post Malone concert tonight in Toronto. Jelly Roll is a damn cool dude. Great show with lots of love.

These are the LGBTQ+ Hotlines if you live within the United States. There is a rumour online about Canada adding a number for Americans to call. It’s false. Stay safe. Reach out. www.glencanning.com/2025/05/13/a...

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. ❤️💐

The Lego Mona Lisa our niece gave us for Christmas is now complete. Thanks to some cannabis and tea and a few relaxing hours of mental health time.

Back at the Rideau Lakes for another amazing summer. Can’t wait to start fishing! www.glencanning.com/2025/05/02/b...

Ottawa Senators yelling at the referees!! #NHL #playoffs

On this Easter Sunday. Let’s remind ourselves that America changed Christianity to align with their beliefs, instead of changing themselves to align with Christianity.
