Building affordable homes and having the expert workers who can help people with complex needs move to those homes takes significant public resources.

Politicians like Councilor Stevenson and Pierre Poilievre express concern about homelessness then vote against resources to help

Thinking about my career path, it hit me: we need a mindset shift in education.🤔What if success isn’t just about the base we build but how we adapt & grow? How do we start valuing learning as an ongoing journey, not a destination? #MindsetShift #ContinuousLearning #FutureLeaders

[Western BrainsCAN @Brains_CAN]

📢 Calling all underrepresented #WesternU undergrads interested in cognitive neuroscience! Take part in a research project this summer. The deadline to apply for our Diversity in Neuroscience Summer Internship program is March 27th. https://t.co/3EZSxeSCzR #DiversityInSTEM #EDI

The integration of cutting-edge imaging with precision cognitive therapeutics is opening new doors for early detection and intervention in #NeurocognitiveDisorders. #Neuroscience happening at @WesternU & @Brains_CAN. #BrainHealth #Alzheimers #Parkinson #Dementia #Epilepsy

[Western University @WesternU]

In the final video of our 4-part Behind the Research series, #WesternU President Alan Shepard asks @Brains_CAN scientific co-directors, Lisa Saksida and Ravi Menon, what they see for the future of neuroscience and the treatment of degenerative brain diseases.

[Kate Placide @KatePlacide]

Thrilled to see the brilliance of Ravi, Lisa & Western's neuroscience stars 🌟spotlighted! Their trailblazing efforts are propelling neuroscience to new heights, putting @WesternU & #ldnont on the map.🚀#NeuroscienceHeroes - Check out the 4-part Series on the @WesternU channel.

[Western University @WesternU]

In part 1 of our 4-part series Behind the Research, #WesternU President Alan Shepard meets with @Brains_CAN co-directors, Lisa Saksida and Ravi Menon, to discuss how Western’s neuroscience research is transforming how we understand & treat brain diseases. https://t.co/gUh5bGboyI

👇THIS! Policing is not the solution. To build safer and more equitable communities, we need to invest in mental health support, affordable housing, education, and community resources. Let's prioritize proactive solutions over punitive measures. #CommunityFirst #InvestInPeople

[Kate Placide @KatePlacide]

#Ldnont City Council must fund mental health, affordable homes, substance abuse treatments, neighborhood resource centers, and + NOT more policing. Safer healthier communities for all. #InvestInCommunities #NotMorePolicing https://t.co/hrETTeZoBz

[Craig Needles @NeedlesOnNews]

New podcast!

Police have the biggest budget ask in #ldnont history.

Could some of that $672-million be spent better elsewhere?

I break it down with @LBikos - powered by Downtown London and the Covent Garden Market.

[aled edwards @aledmedwards]

Canada and its provinces overinvest in resource extraction, and massively underinvest in education and knowledge creation. It’s a recipe to create a country that can’t compete. Make Canada stronger. Fund education, fund science, fund the arts. https://t.co/IIqU9sTYfl

[TRIDENT @TRIDENTPCT]

Embedding biological determinants such as sex & age at all stages of validation (SBA+) is just one of our integrated ground-breaking approaches to preclinical evaluation of neurotherapeutics. The TRIDENT Platform addresses multiple aims outlined in the below Landmark Study, advancing a cure for brain disease. @northernthrux @IP_policy @LiisaGalea

Trans women are women. ♥️💙💚💛💜🧡🖤

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

And with a disturbing rise in anti-transgender hate here in Canada and around the world recently, I want to be very clear about one more thing: Trans women are women. We will always stand up to this hate – whenever and wherever it occurs.

[Action Canada @actioncanadashr]

To keep trans communities safe and protected, concrete action is needed, now more than ever to address anti-trans hate.

We have endorsed the following calls to action to address anti-trans hate:
