In BC governments are increasing support for nutritious school lunches that respect cultural diversity and dietary needs. The benefits are clear. In NZ, the current coalition government is doing exactly the opposite. The consequences are also clear. @stuff.co.nz www.canada.ca/en/employmen...

With all of these recent felt #earthquakes, many people are asking "does this mean the big one is coming?". These earthquakes are not connected - some are shallow, some deep, all are on different faults and even different tectonic plates. They are far from the locked subduction fault. So no... ⚒️🧪

Canada's southern border is 8,891km. The average width of a human is 75cm. Linked arm to arm, it would take 11,854,667 of us to cover the border from east coast to west. There are more than 40 million Canadians. What a great show of solidarity that would make, eh. Eh? We'd be visible from space....

Nuučaanuł ancestors practiced land care, protecting and growing Indigenous biological wealth over thousands of years. We have a responsibility to care for the next generations of future life, including next seasons insects, birds, bears and salmon. “Land Use Plan?….Longterm Land Care Instead!”

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #766: Writing is a community. Participate in it if you can. Engage with other writers. Lift them up, and they’ll do the same. Try to go it alone, or treat other writers as rivals, and you’re more likely to sink than swim.

Labour's simplemindedness will be its downfall - and ours. You can't build and bulldoze your way out of the housing crisis. Unless you also change the system, you'll still leave millions without decent homes. My column today explains why. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"The default position in our economy is homelessness. When you come of age, if you fail to work, fail to qualify for any government program, and fail to receive sufficient gifts of wealth from your family or anyone else, you will be destitute." Universal basic income is a new default. No one <$UBI.

Bill Wilson was one of the most significant First Nation leaders of his time. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. His profound impact on Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples of British Columbia and Canada will live on for generations. (1/2) vancouversun.com/news/bill-wi...

For all the talk of Canada getting annexed, one thing we do share with our neighbours is an undemocratic FPTP system that gives one party disproportionate power while millions go unheard. It's time to lead North America democratically by adopting PR —where every vote counts.

When we dwell on fears and anxieties, they can grow and overwhelm our thoughts, affecting our daily life. However, there's a simple solution: movement. Physical activity, whether through exercise, dance, or walking in nature, can shift your mental state and break the cycle of worry.
