I didn't want to die, I just wanted the pain to stop and the constant noise in my head to be quiet. No different than an end stage cancer patient. And it seemed like the only way for these things to happen. Please, hold on and ask for help. It can get better.

@KristaFagan As I learned this week, your recovery is the best example you can give someone. I was reminded when a random person thanked me for being open about what I've been through. I really needed to hear that. Hugs to all of you. Ups and downs are life. Just need to learn to ride them.

[Blair Power @blair_power]

Hey Steph,@RNC_PoliceNL, maybe you should follow your own advice and check, check, and check again. Maybe then the difference between the colours black and brown wouldn't be so confusing for you. Kindergarten was a tough one, wasn't it??

@mynlcorner They know. My dog is pretty independent, being a husky, but he's pulled me out of a spiral more times than he'll ever know. They do everything for us and ask for so "little" in return. Never apologize for prioritizing them.

Newsfeeds are like high-priced fetish escorts. They understand that their whole job is to give it to you how you like it.

And not a single member of the 1% will be doing this yet they will be there for all the photos and back pats.

Big storm forecast in the U.S. and Canadian line crews are prepping to head south for dangerous work and they don’t give a damn about anything but the people on the ground. Think about that amongst all this posturing by politicos.

@z56cjt The dog and I picked up about 20 minutes on our typical time walking back from the ferry with the wind at our back... Yeesh, I don’t know how he didn't become a kite.

@DtcHiker1982 Have you ever watched his comedy sets?? An Evening with Kevin Smith. Every bit that lands really well you can guarantee it will be in his next movie.

@davidzelcer See that deduction line on your paycheque marked CIT?? That's who.

[Blair Power @blair_power]

@kristinaennis @z56cjt Wait, what now?? No wonder I strictly limit my social media use for my own benefit... Sorry that happens. My partner also deals with such every time she comments on something. It's funny. Few question a man, but a woman needs a 200 page doctoral thesis before she dares comment.

@SammyDell6 @JohnRiche We need more independents, not less.

Actually, we need to get rid of FPTP and use Proportional Representation instead.

Whatever your choice today, just vote!!!

[Blair Power @blair_power]

@mynlcorner And @mynlcorner, don't you ever doubt your impact. I, for one, would probably not still be here without you and others speaking honestly and openly about your struggles, your good days and your bad. It all matters and makes a difference.

[Blair Power @blair_power]

@mynlcorner I get it. My last hospitalization for suicidal ideation was in February of 2020, yet certain parties always start with "He's in and out of the Waterford" when trying to make my life difficult.

Police definitely are not the answer. They actually make the issue worse. 🫂

[Blair Power @blair_power]

Protective intervention should protect families — not shield agencies from scrutiny.
Consistency. Proportionality. Fairness.
That’s what the law — and every child — deserves.

@fred_hutton @590vocm @vocmopenline #nltraffic #FamilyCourtCrisis

[Blair Power @blair_power]

In A.M. v. C.H. (2019 NLCA 29), the Court said officials must examine where fears come from before acting on them.
Adults’ narratives can’t replace evidence.

@stjohnstelegram @ntvnewsnl #FamilyCourtCrisis #nlpoli

[Blair Power @blair_power]

That ruling reinforced proportionality — the State must use the least intrusive measure consistent with child safety.
Heavy-handed responses without verified risk undermine the law’s purpose.

Reach out to a trusted person or a professional. As much as it hurts right now, it can get better.

[Blair Power @blair_power]

If we say we value reconciliation, accountability starts here, too.
@CSSD_GovNL and @GovNL can’t demand trust while erasing voices.
📌 Truth comes before reconciliation.

[Blair Power @blair_power]

🟧 Today is Truth & Reconciliation Day in #cdnpoli, #nlpoli.
A day meant to reflect on erasure, silencing, and the cost of ignoring voices.

Yet here at home, @CSSD_GovNL erases people from their own records. Silence isn’t reconciliation. It’s betrayal, @jamiekorab, @PremierofNL
