@BassetDaryl@travelzoomers I don’t deny that you are pointing out an important flaws related to greed, corruption, and overcompensation in the social services sector, but I’m curious what you think the solution might be? Poverty is a pretty complex issue.
@BassetDaryl@travelzoomers Ya, but come on, if you are going to use a term like “ecosystem” than you should be able to appreciate how the dynamics of various parts contribute to the whole. Those parts are changing and diverse and as a result impact ecosystem outcome and structure.
@BassetDaryl@travelzoomers But also imagine how much it would cost taxpayers if there were no non-profits to run these services and it was solely the responsibility of essential and institutional service providers. I would love to see the data on that!
@TalktoARYZE Word on the street is that Dr. Lamb skipped out on paying rent owed to a non-profit he was subletting space from. He shouldn’t be invited to the BBQ.
@mattdellok Skip the tokenizing FN art and have the developer pay a tax to Songhees nation or make a sizeable donation to an Indigenous-led community service provider.
@MediClit Totally! But I also think you can have both spaces. “Safe spaces” for people to connect and public space for education etc… I think people who experience racism need to consent to sharing their stories.
@MediClit I think a space where there is a common lived experience can sometimes feel safer to share, be honest, and grow. Obviously it’s not the whole picture of someone’s identity. Say for instance those who experience racism will have common ground where those who don’t might not.
@Tiquetonne@riding_my_bike@nellen55@CdnChange I think going is kind of agreeing with him because the ticket you buy supports his cause. That said, I don’t think I would sign a petition to prevent him from coming. Doing so actually just reinforces his position on free speech.
Join us on Friday night at 6pm for art, music, refreshments, and survivor stories about the lived experience of sexual abuse. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Men's Therapy Centre to provide survivor support. #menstherapycentre.

@Rainmaker1973 But when the aliens attack they will take out the panels and destroy the earth’s power supply. We should build a big fence around the panels and strategically place escape pods in areas where really rich people live so they can go to the Mars colony.
