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

👇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
#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
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.

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
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

🧠🔍 It's an exciting moment at @WesternU as the arrival of the 15.2T imaging magnet! This remarkable advancement amplifies the potential to delve deeper into understanding the brain's mysteries. #Innovation#Neuroimaging Congratulations @northernthrux & Team!
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.
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:
