As a Canadian watching what's unfolding in the United States is frightening, and when you realize there are Trump supporters right here in Canada cheering on what's happening over there, it's even more frightening.
We cannot allow them to push that same rhetoric here in Canada!

How many of us are sitting at work right now sleep deprived fueled on espresso thinking about tonight's Blue Jays game and counting down the hours until it's go time?

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

Petition e-6821 - Petitions

Hey, β€˜member a few days ago when Marshall Smith threatened @guyfelicella.bsky.social with a defamation suit for an op-ed he wrote in the Calgary Herald, then the Herald took down Guy’s op-ed?

Episode 7.37 - Is Canadian Media being compromised by lawfare? Podcast Episode Β· The Breakdown With Nate Pike Β· 2025-10-23 Β· 15m

New episode!

And it asks a very serious question...

Should media be intimidated by people using the tools of lawfare to suppress opinions they disagree with?

Because it looks like that might be what happened in Alberta!

Nothing says 'on the right side of history' like sending out a bunch of cease-and-desist letters. It was a fair critique @guyfelicella.bsky.social.

Opinion: Criminalizing drug use won't solve addiction The following article by Guy Fellicella was originally published in the Calgary Herald's online opinion section on Oct 1, 2025 before being removed over the Oct 11-13th long weekend.

This is what mainstream media wants to keep from you. Published and unpublished by the Calgary Herald. By @guyfelicella.bsky.social
I almost spit out my coffee when I read the headline: β€œBanning public drug use is bold, courageous and obvious.”

Well Blue Jays fans, it's either going to be a really good week or a really depressing one.

I'm believing it's going to be an amazing week!

Sleep's primary purpose is recovery and repair, it's impossible to recover mentally and physically without it.

Do you know what makes addiction, mental health and public safety issues worse in our communities?

SLEEP DEPRIVATION & HOMELESSNESS

I can't believe some people can't understand this.

Don't worry if people call you a "radical leftist"

Radical leftist simply means you care, and that is normal!

Mandatory recovery treatment doesn't solve homelessness, building affordable housing does.

I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THIS .....

You always hear people talking about illegal drugs and those who use them.
However you rarely hear people talking about the massive alcohol consumption problem we have, and just how much damage it causes our world ....

If there was ever a "gateway" drug to other drugs, it's ALCOHOL!

Brazil: Third person dies from methanol poisoning in SΓ£o Paulo Authorities are investigating the source of the tainted drinks, which have affected more than 200 people.

Imagine if the alcohol you're drinking was unregulated?

Then you would understand what it means to be poisoned by the toxic drug supply.

Designated driver - is harm reduction.

Bike helmets - is harm reduction.

Seat belts - is harm reduction.

Supervised consumption sites - is harm reduction.

All these approaches cannot stop accidents from happening but can definitely reduce the harms that are caused by them....

Last night we were downtown on Granville street and some people were yelling, being aggressive, pissing on the side of a building, and all tweaked out on alcohol ...

I bet you thought I was referring to a homeless drug user?

Nope!! I'm pretty positive these people all have homes.

Homeless folks have been stigmatized and treated unfairly forever.

Having a home shouldn’t be a requirement to be treated with kindness, compassion, and understanding.

This is what kindness looks like ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
