Remember when the BC NDP spent your money on radio ads to convince you that Premier David Eby was a ‘man of action’?
He’s been Premier for almost four years and look at all the progress and action on this major infrastructure project!
So much action! 😮💨

For 150 years, Africville, sitting right next to Halifax, was a thriving Black Canadian community.
Halifax refused to provide city services, and eventually forced residents to move as they bulldozed their homes.
This is the story of that community.

This was sent to me from FB and for anyone in or is trying RECOVERY from alcohol and drugs this hits HARD , and is for you
(I personally remember my early days in recovery where all the doubt creeped in and I felt like giving up, it was the hardest battle of my life, but I never gave up. I kept fighting, and finally things started to change .... If this is you please, please don't give up .... The MIRACLE is about to happen ) ... 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

So, you finished rehab. You’re sober now. Living in a sober house. Waking up early to catch the bus to a job that barely pays the bills. You’re splitting a fridge with three others, listening to them fight over food or relapse excuses, trying to stay focused and in your own lane — your own recovery. You’re hitting your meetings. Three a week. You’re sitting in folding chairs under fluorescent lights, listening to other people’s pain, trying to believe that maybe, just maybe, one day, yours will turn into purpose too. And I know there are nights when it doesn’t feel worth it. When you’re sitting on the edge of your bed staring at the same four walls, thinking, "Is this really what I got sober for?" When the silence gets so loud it starts screaming your name. When giving up feels easier than fighting through another day. But let me tell you something — it takes a rare kind of strength to do what you’re doing. Because anybody can self-destruct. Anybody can run. Anybody can hide behind a bottle, a pill, or a pipe. But it takes a fighter to start from scratch and rebuild their life one day at a time. You’re not weak because it’s hard. You’re not broken because it hurts. You’re becoming! You’re laying the bricks for a life that’s going to mean something.
That bus you’re riding to that minimum wage job? That’s not humiliation — that’s humility. That’s faith in motion. Every mile is proof that you’re not who you used to be. That sober house that smells like burnt ramen and resentment? That’s your launching pad. That’s where your comeback story is being written. And those meetings you get yourself to? Those are your classrooms — where pain turns into wisdom, and strangers turn into family.
Listen to me — what you are building in you right now, in this season that feels small and insignificant, is going to blow your mind when it unfolds. You’re not just surviving this chapter — you’re being prepared for the next one. You might not see it yet, but you’re a walking miracle in progress. A warrior in transition. A rockstar in recovery. So don’t quit now. Not when you’ve already made it this far. The world hasn’t even seen what you’re capable of yet.
I see you.
I’m proud of you.
And I promise you — if you just keep going, it gets better. What you hoped, wished and prayed for is on its way to you now.

Finland has nearly ended homelessness nationwide with its HOUSING FIRST strategy which gives people a small apartment and mental health and addictions support without any preconditions.
Thanks to this approach about 80% of participants successfully integrate into society, finding stable housing, employment, SOBRIETY and greater well-being.
BE LIKE FINLAND.
Today is World Polio Day.
Decades ago, polio outbreaks caused fear for Canadians. Both Joni Mitchell and Neil Young had polio.
Canada played a huge role in creating the polio vaccine that saved millions.
This is the story of Canada and the fight against polio.

1/ Residential School Denialism is violence. And we need to start calling it what it is. There’s been a disturbing rise in denialism, and it’s only getting stronger. Let’s stop pretending this is a “difference of opinion.���
This is awful. A local psychiatrist has reached out to me about one of her patients who is being evicted by his housing FOR NO REASON. This man has been clean for 8 years!
Look, as a society, we need to decide if we really want people to get sober like we say we do. When people do the hard work and turn their lives around, it’s time to stop punishing them for their past mistakes and help them succeed, instead of kicking them back down over and over again.
I’m grateful I had people in my corner, like this man has his doctor in his, but not everyone does.

Last week: Japan agreed to a 15% tariff + $550B investment in the U.S.
This week: Trump slaps ANOTHER 15% on Japan
Spare me the “Carney’s losing to Trump” takes.
He’s not here to watch 🇨🇦 get steamrolled by a lunatic
That’s REAL leadership
I trust Carney
Parents, teachers, support staff, administrators, trustees and students have valuable perspectives to share. Denying their reality and the impact of chronic underfunding serves no one and begins to feel like gaslighting. #bced#bcpoli#PublicEdPublicGood
