If you need help, please reach out. Having an emotional reaction from hearing about the atrocious history and impacts of Indian Residential Schools is completely justified and normal. What happened was wrong and never should have happened.

If our economic confidence is based on a booming housing market, we’ve lost the plot as a country. Increasing inequality (owners vs renters) built on flimsy economic growth from trading houses, driving cars longer distances and increased debt is not a recipe for econ prosperity.

A tax break for renters: A reader suggests jacking up the annual TFSA contribution limit for people who don't own homes.
Whenever I see these victim-shaming posts, I'm reminded of a domestic abuse phone counsellor in @jessradio's See What You Made Me Do:
"I'm frustrated that even though he promised to stop, he chose to abuse her again."
We need to rethink how we view these complex situations
The greatness of being able to use @ONArtsCouncil Arts Response grants on equipment cannot be understated. I got this ergonomic mouse that fits my hand perfectly. And it is changing my life #amwriting
Imagine how much more art would come into the world if artists had universal basic income. Time spent making and creating, instead of applying and waiting for grants

BMO: "If it’s not fully apparent to all parties that the
Canadian housing market is boiling, this picture might convey the message"
"We should not be making the mistake of thinking everything's OK, because it's not"
In the midst of a public health crisis, we still don't have access to timely, affordable, culturally-specific mental health services. Truly mind-boggling #cdnpoli #onpoli
