So we just protested a Pierre Poilievre photo op in Petty Harbour. He called the police on us for peacefully protesting, and his security kicked us out.
Here’s a summary of what went down:

[FeelGoodThoughts @feelgoodtale]

I stopped at Whole Foods on Tuesday, excited to surprise my Mom with her favorite smoothie of all: Banana! After I ordered the drink, I realized that I had made a huge mistake and had to cancel the order. The woman who took my order was very kind and didn’t seem angered by my change of heart, which made me feel relieved.
I told her that I completely forgot that my Mom is going through Chemotherapy treatments and can’t drink or eat anything cold. “She has a chemo bag attached to her for the next 46 hours and is extremely sensitive to the cold right now, ” I said.
“I totally understand! I have two family members going through chemo right now, too,” she replied. “Does your Mom like Almond Milk? I could easily make her a smoothie without ice and with room temperature almond milk. My god-daughter, Diamond, loved her smoothies that way,” she continued.
Ever since my Mom was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in October, things have been very chaotic. It never even occurred to me that I could make my Mom’s favorite drink that way, because I have been so focused on a million other things. I excitedly yelled, “Yes, please! That would be perfect!!”, and introduced myself.
My new friend told me that her name is Natasha and that she loves working at Whole Foods Market for this EXACT reason~ So, she can help others stay on top of their nutritional goals & health. Natasha proceeded to give me a long list of other natural drinks with electrolytes that will hydrate my Mom and settle her queezy tummy.
“My god-daughter, Diamond, was diagnosed with Cancer at Stage IV. It had already spread all over her body. She passed away at only 12 years of age…” Her voice trailed off and her eyes filled with tears.
I told Natasha that my Mom was already Stage IV, too, when her Cancer was found and that I was so sorry to hear about Diamond’s passing. As she made my Mom’s smoothie, Natasha and I talked about God, Angels and Love. It’s hard to put into words what this random encounter did to uplift my spirits and boost my mood. I was feeling very stressed about my Mom’s diagnosis when I headed into the store moments before. Natasha’s vibrant smile, kind words & compassion instantly soothed my soul.
We constantly hear about all the negative aspects of society in the news. It’s easy to go about your day feeling alone and smothered in problems. And, then, you come across someone, like Natasha Barnes, at Whole Foods in Madison, NJ and you realize that there are truly good-hearted, beautiful people who care, all around us.
I thanked Natasha over and over again for all of her advice and encouragement before leaving with my Mom’s smoothie. Natasha flashed me another huge smile and pleaded, “Wait!!!”
She then ran from behind the counter and gave me a huge hug. It may seem simple. But, Natasha’s actions were life-changing for me & a reminder that Angels are all around us. It only took a few minutes of conversation for her to restore my faith in humanity. Hopefully, Natasha’s kindness, my Mom’s strength & both of their smiles restore your faith in humanity, too ❤️

There is no “sorry” in the world that can erase this trauma. Disgusting behaviour #irelandgymnastics

Welcome to Ireland where people get away with racism! This little black girl broke my heart. Don’t skip this post without leaving a million heart for her. Make her famous…

I am not going to let Galen Weston or the Grocery Cartel monopolize everything. 

I'm introducing a Bill on Monday that will crack down on price fixing, investigate and punish CEOs if they price-gouge and bring prices down.

Has anyone actually won a @Fidomobile contest?

Landlords should not be allowed to boldly specify the race of tenants they want to rent. The ongoing rental discrimination in Ontario is disgusting. Landlords are posting ads with "Indian only," and we are not doing anything to condemn it. I am so disgusted, and so should you.

New data just in. We are clearly in a new surge of COVID-19.

The US is up 97 percent (!) over the past 5 weeks, based on the amount of SARS-CoV-2 virus in sewage water.

The public is being told nothing by a government and media intent on covering up this ongoing disaster.

[Wayne Gates @Wayne_Gates]

Loblaws' profits are up 31% over the last quarter - as everyday Canadians struggle to afford the price of groceries, food bank usage hits record highs, and food prices outpace inflation.

This is corporate greed, plain and simple.

And Doug Ford has done nothing. #onpoli

A vial of insulin costs $98 dollars in the US, but just $10 to produce.

Big Pharma should not be profiting off live-saving medicine.

It should be free.

@bhuss91 Turned off my air purifier yesterday, turned it back on the morning and it was at 160 AQI

“His mother wanted a break. You know, it’s hectic. She’s a single mother. She just bought a house. It’s a lot taking care of a kid on your own. She thought maybe it would be a good experience for him to come live with Uncle Olasegun for the summer. As soon as she suggested it, I was like: ‘I want to do this.’ And here’s the reason: she did the exact same thing for me. We lost our mom when we were kids. I was really young at the time— like three. Whitney was twelve or thirteen. She and my other sister ended up taking care of me: cooked for me, took me to school, made sure I had a shower, brushed my teeth. Back then I thought she was annoying, because of my ignorance. But now it’s crazy for me to think about. It must have been such a burden. She’d be hanging out with her friends, and I was always there. So I’m just trying to pay it forward. I picked him up from the airport last night. I have no idea how the summer is going to go. I like to cook, so I’ll cook for him. Maybe we’ll paint a little in the evenings. I’m going to teach him some kickboxing on the terrace; hopefully that’ll tire him out so that I can get some work done. I’d love to be a father one day when I find the right woman. So it’s going to be a good test for me. I’m just hoping he has fun. And when he goes back home, he tells his mother all about the amazing summer he had with his uncle.”

BREAKING: In a SHOCKING move, two Texas Republicans just joined the Democrats to PASS the “Raise The Age” gun control bill out of committee in the Texas Legislature!

That's right – TEXAS!

Don't ever let anyone tell you we can't win. Because we WILL.

The NRA is freaking out, because they know this opens up a huge door for the rest of the country. I know from personal experience that sane local laws can lead to national exposure — and national CHANGE.

We're doing it!!!

More details below shortly on the next steps. 👇🧵

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards. Most of them were comatose & dying from diabetic keto-acidosis. Others were being placed on extremely strict diets, which inevitably led to starvation.

I always show you El Salvador’s beaches, volcanoes, lakes, towns or the Historic District of San Salvador, but I almost never show you views of the city.

Here are 30 seconds of it…
