Dear @AdrianaLaGrange, @CMOH_Alberta and @YourAlberta,
I am teacher. When I tell people that, the first thing they usually ask me is "What do you teach?". I'd like to answer that for you today.
Imagine being trapped for days under a heavy log in freezing mud, only for a stranger in a canoe to appear out of nowhere. 🚣♂️ 🐕
While paddling solo across Canada, adventurer Tom Hudson took a chance route around a remote island on the Saskatchewan River. That decision saved a life. He heard faint whimpering and found Ivy, a 14-year-old Great Pyrenees, pinned under a log and partially submerged.
Exhausted and unable to move her hind legs, Ivy had been missing for days. Tom waded through thick mud, freed her from the debris, and carried the weak dog to his canoe. He later tracked down her owners, Tom and Janine Stait, who had been searching for her daily. Thanks to a miracle, Ivy was reunited with her family just in time! ✨
Small lips, undefined eyebrows, no exaggerated cheekbones, a smile without veneers or teeth that look like they've been washed with dish soap, no false eyelashes, natural hair color. Let's go back to basics.
For thousands of years people have known how to grow food, sew clothing, treat sickness with food and herbs, build shelters and survive. It only took 2 generations to erase those skills from humanity and make us completely dependent on and at the mercy of the system.
Feeling depressed? Go for a walk.
Feeling angry? Go for a walk.
Feeling low energy? Go for a walk.
Need to solve a problem? Go for a walk.
The answer to all your problems is taking a walk.

🇨🇦 Every Canadian should read this twice:
🇨🇦 Canada ranks—
🥇 1st in uranium
🥇 1st in potash
🥈 2nd in nickel
🥉 3rd in oil
🏅 5th in gold
💧 1st in freshwater
Countries start wars for LESS than this.
And somehow we are told we’re too poor to cut taxes, too broke to build homes, too weak to compete, too small to matter.
It took historic levels of incompetence and ideological sabotage to bury a country this blessed.
Imagine where Canada would be if we were actually allowed to win.

Fridge, freezer, microwave, washing machine, dryer…. All have a light inside. Why doesn’t the dishwasher? It’s difficult to perfectly arrange dirty dishes in the dark.

Then why isn’t chemotherapy, insulin, and EpiPens?
For every person Finland has, USA has 60. For every youth hockey player Finland has, USA has nine. For every indoor rink Finland has, USA has seven. Finland is an incredible hockey country.
Before today’s children even begin school, they have already been exposed to more technology-driven information, media, and sensory input than their grandparents encountered by the time they graduated school.
Think about it. No other generation in history has been exposed to this much information this early in life.
Early brain development depends on learning how to separate signal from noise. Young children are not born with that skill. The systems that regulate attention, filter relevance, and support memory are still forming in the early years.
This generation forms those systems inside constant white noise.
Screens. Background media. Rapid scene changes. Alerts. Endless content. Always on.
Neuroscience and cognitive research show that chronic early stimulation increases cognitive load and overwhelms working memory. When everything feels important, nothing stands out. Research on attention switching shows that frequent novelty trains the brain to scan rather than sustain focus. Developmental studies also show that young children struggle to distinguish meaningful information from irrelevant input when exposed to high levels of media. Sleep research further links early media saturation to reduced sleep quality, which directly affects learning and memory.
No previous generation entered school after years of adapting to this level of informational saturation.
So when children struggle with focus, retention, or persistence, it isn’t effort. It isn’t ability.
It’s a brain that adapted early to constant noise before it ever learned how to filter, prioritize, and hold onto what matters.
We keep labeling attention, motivation, and behavior.
But the real issue is saturation.
Until we account for that reality, we will keep misreading children—and mistaking adaptation for deficiency.
