This is right on. Naysayers don’t get brilliance of Fred Rogers, who addressed injustice with truth, kindness and teaching that we can deal well with strong emotions. Our leaders could really use that lesson!

It wasn’t nearly as bad as others we’ve heard. Just a bit too much artistic license.

Those big GDP numbers about interprovincial trade barriers are wrong - CCPA A lot of public discourse in Canada right now is about how we need to urgently remove interprovincial trade barriers in the face of the Trump tariff threat. But if we look at the actual evidence, poli...

New from @policyalternatives.ca : Politicians have been framing interprovincial trade barriers as an end-all-be-all for dealing with the #Trump #tariffs. There's just one issue—the numbers that they're citing are wildly inflated. By @marclee.bsky.social

Yes! Great win in overtime!

Very grateful for prayers and good vibes as I get my knee replaced tomorrow. Also VERY grateful for our (mostly) universal Canadian healthcare system that will cover the cost completely and didn’t keep me waiting all that long either.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

Happy MLK Day.

I’m glad. I think they can work through this stuff. He’s a great player and so is Petey. They gotta grow past whatever shit they’re dealing with - individually and relationally. Get your shit together boys and keep playing like you did on Saturday!

More evidence for a universal basic income (UBI) from research involving unhoused folks in BC

A B.C. research project gave homeless people $7,500 each — the results were 'beautifully surprising' | CBC News The results of a B.C. research project that gave thousands of dollars to homeless people are in and, according to one researcher, could challenge stereotypes about people "living on the margins."

Meanwhile, this project by Foundations For Social Change "saved the shelter system approximately $8,100 per person for a total of roughly $405,000 over one year for all 50."

May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers.

May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.

Stunning! Would you grant me permission to use this pic alongside a lovely poem ("A Morning Offering" By John O'Donohue) that I want to share as a handout to a few folks in our church. No more than 40 copies and full credit included, of course. Or should address this request elsewhere? Thank you!!

I'm stumped. What is it?

Deep wisdom from our preeminent prophet-poet #ShaneKoyczan

Samson has had a good debut in the Show. Looking forward to his ongoing development.

Never forget.

Caught your #CBC interview with #GloriaMacarenko. Nicely done and well-deserved congratulations on your ground-breaking blog and it's longevity. I've enjoyed it over the years and remember when you were starting out on a new medium.

Love that they found their consistent intensity and rediscovered their identity. (And Imac needs to get on Bluesky)

Good news.
All Canadians should learn the story of Africville.

Be kind.

Yes! And folks who demand removals instead need to join the chorus for short and long term housing solutions.

Is it me or is Garland getting even better? It's not just a baby bump. I'm seeing flashes of genius in his play making and control of play. A bit like his BFF.
