Light exposure 1 hour before bedtime suppresses melatonin levels in pre-school children by as much as 98%.

Children are much more sensitive to blue light than adults. Light dimmers or red lights at night are a good solution.

Speak out against sexual assault. Survivors will see it.

Speak out against transphobia. Trans folks will see it.

But don’t speak out because people will see it. Speak out because it’s the right thing to do.

On the latest @WestofCentreCBC episode, @sunrickbell said he re-watched Kenney's "Open for Summer" announcement.

"Go to YouTube and listen," Bell said.

"I didn't realize how WILD that particular press conference was until I heard it again."
