#Homelessness costs up to $65K per person/yr in Canada. It would cost less to provide a person with housing & supports instead. The @CBC series @GoodPeopleCA explores the homelessness crisis & innovative solutions: https://t.co/z7yBp5i39A

On #CanadianArmedForcesDay watch the @GreggCentre's Joel Watson on how Canada lost its way helping #veterans return to civilian life, plus inspiration for how we can hold up our end of the bargain again.

Too many Canadian veterans are struggling: with mental health, with finding work, with getting back into civilian life. Good People host @MarkSakamoto1 looks at how we can help our vets, and how they're helping each other. Watch Good People on CBC Gem. https://t.co/1O8gHy9c7J

Good People host @MarkSakamoto1 visited two small cities on opposite sides of the continent to see the different approaches they're taking to the opiate crisis. Here are some of the people he met along the way.

COVID-19 could worsen the #opioidepidemic, a full blown health crisis on its own, by removing access to important support systems. Watch @SheenaTaha of @CCSACanada break down the problem in episode 3 of #goodpeople: https://t.co/kCX2lUamtP

My pandemic thoughts: knowledge & hope also communicable. https://t.co/ORd5tf14fZ

Wow, I'm watching an advanced screener of a TV documentary about the opioid crisis in Prince George and I say this as someone very critical of outsiders coming in and chronicling the challenges facing my city: It is very, very good. #cityofpg

[CBC Docs @cbcdocs]

All across North America, cities and towns are struggling to prevent opioid deaths. Good People host @MarkSakamoto1 goes to one small U.S. city that has found a unique solution. Watch Good People on CBC Gem.

2019 was #Toronto's worst year ever for #gunviolence, and the city already has more shootings than this time last year. Marcell Wilson of @One_X_One_Inc is a former gang leader interceding to try and stop the violence. See his #GoodPeople story @cbc Gem https://t.co/QiLvOArYJM

[CBC Docs @cbcdocs]

Gun violence is a problem in cities across Canada. Good People host @MarkSakamoto1 goes to Toronto, where he meets some of the people affected by gun violence, as well as those trying to find new ways to stop it. Watch Good People on CBC Gem.

@SamTsemberis thank you for watching. This means a lot. @cbc @cbcdocs

[Sam Tsemberis @SamTsemberis]

Excellent piece by the CBC about causes and solutions to homelessness in Canada (21 min.)

[Good People @GoodPeopleCA]

Have you heard about #housingfirst?

To find out how an Alberta city used it to end #homelessness as we know it watch Good People on @CBC Gem: https://t.co/cseBPJdaUI

@SamTsemberis @cbcdocs

[Good People @GoodPeopleCA]

@ramielew @tjdstanley @rickmercer @CBC Spoiler alert: the solution to homelessness we look at was adopted by a skeptical conservative mayor in Medicine Hat and actually saves the city money.

@marcusryanzorra @MarkSakamoto1 @ZorraTwp We also talked off-camera with people who live in Zorra at a protest on Embro Road, but we need checks like this. We’ll do better next time.

[Good People @GoodPeopleCA]

@marcusryanzorra @MarkSakamoto1 @ZorraTwp We focused on OPAL as a collective that draws membership from across the region, and are glad Mayor Comiskey says 8 townships will be affected in Oxford County.
