We raised 149k from the 2nd “baby’s bonanza” in Vancouver providing aid for the unhoused and the opioid crisis.
Moments like this where I and the community can give back to our city makes me proud.
Spread love and positivity ❤️
Today i apologized to my manager for having to take numerous phone calls from Lebanon because of the bombings and she said “omg who’s bombing them?”
This is the reality of living in the US. This is the ignorance of the American people
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

Just heard Doug Ford's new ads on the radio saying "we're exploring a tunnel under the 401".
We need to shut down this complete waste of our money. Why do we need to buy ads to tell us the government is "exploring the idea of a tunnel"???
@spoon_licker__ Beyblade meta existed once, this isn't a whole lot different than that. They'll probably adjust Cats booster resource and this stuff won't seem so constant anymore
The woman was crying as she witnessed her neighbor ChongLy Thao, 56, a naturalized U.S. citizen, taken from his home in below-freezing weather, half-naked. ICE didn't even get the right guy. But sure, just make shit up.

Doug Ford, hard at work
Shameful day. But I'm going to fight back.
I'm introducing a motion – in just 15 minutes – to repeal this harmful legislation and to bring in rent control.
If you're with me, send an email to your MPP and ask them to support my motion: https://t.co/T8ekUmz9ZZ
The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion. From the very first minutes of February 24, Putin has been waging this war with complete disregard for how many of his own people he loses and how many of ours he kills.
Russian commanders are not merely inclined to act brutally – they receive explicit orders allowing them to kill however they please. That is why Russia’s war is so bloody, taking lives both on the front lines and in peaceful Ukrainian cities. That is why Russia not only kills adults but also abducts children and tries to re-educate them so that they will take part in the war once they grow up.
Russian commanders are now sending into assaults against Ukrainian positions those who were still in elementary school in 2014, when Crimea was occupied and Russia’s hybrid aggression against Ukraine began. This is a long war, and the main thing Russia is trying to do is to preserve its ability to wage it even longer, and not only against Ukraine. That is why we appreciate so deeply that so many forces and leaders are working for peace right now.
Ukraine is grateful to the United States, to every American heart, and personally to President Trump for the assistance that – starting with the Javelins – has been saving Ukrainian lives. We thank everyone in Europe, in the G7, and in the G20 who is helping us defend life. It is important to preserve the support.
It is important not to forget the main goal – to stop Russia’s war and prevent it from ever igniting again. And to achieve that, peace must be dignified. In just this one year alone, Putin has already sent hundreds of thousands of his own people to their deaths in order to occupy one percent or several percent of Ukrainian territory. And this is what Russia is doing – a country that already has more internationally recognized territory than any other state in the world. This nature of the war, and Russia’s attempts to prolong it, show that for them this is not about territory or about how one neighbor or another behaves toward Russia, but about Russia’s “right to wage war,” its “right to subjugate” others, and a fundamental absence of security.
That is why we work so carefully on every point, on every step toward peace. Everything must work out the right way – so that this war is truly ended and so that it does not happen again. Thank you to everyone who is helping! Thank you, America! Thank you, Europe! I am proud of our people. Glory to Ukraine!
#Bill60 will likely be passed this week, and it will grow homelessness across Ontario — something our food banks, shelters, and municipalities do not have the resources to address.
When you wonder why encampments are growing in your community, remember Bill 60.
