Technology changes lives by improving on what has always existed - communication, medicine, science, exploration. It impacts the individual and the collective.
Like anything we harness for our use, we should respect its power.

This is my newest foster dog! She came with a history of trauma and aggressive behaviour to people and other dogs including biting. She's been with me 3 weeks and is living happily with 3 dogs and yesterday walked off leash with 15 dogs and 8 people with no issue. Go Wilma!

A record number of people have died from drug poisonings in Calgary. Alberta is on track to break the record. If the UCP’s “Alberta model” was as good as they say it is, shouldn’t that number be decreasing? It’s clear more needs to be done immediately. #ableg #yyc #yeg

Civilians and most of all children should never be the casualties of war, conflict or hate. Nothing is so important that any child should lose their freedom, safety or life.

@APTNNews I'm British - all we were taught was how great Britain was. I think we touched on slavery in Africa but not a whisper about the devastating effects of colonization around the world. I literally had no idea until I immigrated to Canada when I WAS 40. I hope that's changed!!!

My lovely Gran used to have a picture hanging in the bedroom where I slept when I stayed there. It said 'I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing I can do or kind word I can say, let it be now, for I shall not pass this way again.' That's a good philosophy.

This is a hard time to be positive. But you can make a difference. It may not feel like much, but you don't know the impact that grows from one small action.

@tonyposnanski Of course. It's simple courtesy.

Those we look up to should be able to show their support for community causes as individuals or as a team. I love to see the coloured tape that shows that players are with their community. 🪖🌈🦬 🩷

This decision has stripped clubs of a powerful community outreach tool and removed meaningful support for Special Initiatives, all to protect a select few who do not want to answer any questions about their choices. I hope the NHL reconsiders in order to remain a leader in DEI.

Studies show that increasing access to affordable care is beneficial for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness.

Through partnerships with mental health organizations, we are making progress towards ensuring everyone receives the care they need. #MIAW23

Parents can create an environment in the home where children and young people feel safe to ask questions and discuss challenging issues. When youth feel they can talk openly about their concerns and opinions, they usually will. #NoSpaceForHate
