Get to know 🇨🇦 new housing minister @SeanFraserMP - who already understands that housing isn't a commodity and that homelessness must be solved. Commentary that sits nicely with the human rights framework.

Watch and listen!

I will speak with everyone, and I will get attacked, derided, and slandered for it.

But I believe in the power of long-form, empathetic conversation to help discover our common humanity, including the good and the evil we are all capable of.

I know I'm underqualified and underskilled for these conversations, so I'll often fall short, as I do in all aspects of my life, but I'll work hard to improve, and will never ever give in to cynicism.

@rainGG Happy happy Birthday to my darling granddaughter😘

I'm puzzled by the reporting of Xi's exchange with Trudeau...

'Xi scolds Trudeau'

What about 'Dictator complains to democratically elected leader' ?

Ukrainian Warrior runs to his home in Kherson where his grandma meets him kneeling.

He is a liberator.

Russians are murderers and occupants.

“What sets this apart is how comprehensive it is. It’s about supply. It’s about demand. It’s about the relationship between provinces and municipalities. It’s about engagement with Indigenous communities.” -CHF BC CEO @thomjarmstrong

Everyone in BC deserves to have a good home. Today I released my housing plan, designed to drive out speculators and tax cheats, jumpstart the building of new homes, and ensure renters have the security they need. Those are just the highlights. Read more: https://t.co/pLNZ7PIxSz

I still can’t believe that Canadian Conservative MPs actually voted to deny basic dental care to kids from low-income families…especially when these same MPs receive tax-payer funded dental care themselves. It’s just so cruel.

Welcome everyone to our last RENT event of the year. We are getting off to a good start at our Interior BC RENT event here in Cranbrook.

[Keir Macdonald @KeirMacdonald_]

We don’t talk about this enough but seniors on fixed incomes just can’t cope with rising housing prices and our lack of seniors affordable housing. Orgs like @BrightsideHomes @SeniorServiceBC and @WholeWayHouse are working hard on solutions, but need more help from government.

Putin wants to have Olena Zelensky assassinated. Think about that, the next time someone praises him.

Sitting alone in a wartime city in the night, sipping iced whiskey, listening to the sound of air raid sirens roar, looking into the dark of the street.
I will never forgive them for what they did to the Kyiv we love.

[Robert Frank @robtfrank]

UK to create new “Registry of Foreign Entities” requiring anonymous buyers of real-estate over the past 20 years to disclose the name of true owner. Aimed at Putin’s oligarchs and money-laundering. #Oligarchs

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

I agree with this. There’s no way Putin has any intention of backing down. The only thing the Russians will present at this “peace negotiation” is for the Ukrainians to totally surrender. Don’t be fooled by this. It’s a common Russian tactic in conflict.

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

Seven years ago today, Vladimir Putin ordered the assassination of my friend and ally Boris Nemtsov. As we grieve for Putin’s victims in Ukraine we should take a moment and remember this great man and how he stood up to Putin and paid the ultimate price. RIP Boris.

I don’t always say this, but the Trudeau government looks pretty together this past seven days #cdnpolitics #cdnpoli

We need to come together - even if it's digitally - to care for each other on the playground, and to restore some sense of order and some sense of community. If you're having a hard time this week, you are not alone. You have friends. All around you.
