Y'all. Non-profits exist to fill in gaps that governments are failing to provide. Shelters, community health centres, foodbanks, arts centres.
Progressive mayors should not be aiming to fund non-profits, they should be aiming to eliminate the need for them.
True wisdom from keynote speaker @jennyokonkwo - "You cannot drive effective allyship without first fully demonstrating it at the individual leadership level." Effective allyship requires each of us to show up!

From the series “the perks of remote work:” this week I had the opportunity to work from Alberta, where I met Canadian Tire colleagues based in Calgary and enjoyed my weekend and evenings exploring the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

Why aren’t we hearing about COVID waves anymore?
COVID hospitalizations in Canada are about six times higher today than they were at the lowest point of the pandemic. https://t.co/snmXAUvMp3
We had more outbreaks in long-term care, deaths and hospitalizations in 2022 than we had in 2020 & 2021 combined.
The reason for not doing more to prevent COVID-19 appears to be ageism, plain and simple.
