In most cases addiction isn't the primary problem, the trauma is.

There are many reasons why people aren't able to heal from trauma, but not being able to access or afford it shouldn't be the main reason!

When the trauma is treated we have a much better chance at treating the addiction!

Seeing lots of elections.ca ads giving people info on voting 👏 and I’m reminded how the last Conservative govt (Harper) told that org it wasn’t their role to “promote” voter participation 🙄, and remembering those robocall scandals 🤨. Let’s not go back to that crew, please & thanks. ✌️

If you want to know exactly what is happening and what has changed, Vancouver council, TransLink and B.C. Ferries don’t use any other social sites, or have micro updates on their own sites, or send emails out to the media.

They solely use a site owned by someone who says Canada isn’t real.

your haiku is promising but needs a last line!

Then please share it.

@cnn.com Can’t believe you have Kevin O’Leary on your NewsNight panel, and your host Abby Phillip speaks to him and refers to Canadians as “his people.” Fuck off with that. Total bullshit.

President muzzles government… freedom of speech, Constitutional Rights anyone?

I think we might not want the system itself to restrict who we are “allowed” to elect. Same with age or intelligence, we ‘restrict’ someone from the position by not electing them, not by preventing them from running.

“some agency refuses”? We’re talking national security, don’t make it sound like petty personal clique criteria.

I realize now that I have a “trade deficit” with the store across the street. I walked over and bought a jug of milk. The store is abusing me and I’m tired of subsidizing it by buying something at a fair price that I want. I’m going to apply a tariff that will raise the future price of milk for me.
