    It blows my mind how so many people have endured so much trauma, and in response are punished and blamed, experiencing further marginalization, rather than being supported interpersonally and structurally to allow them to heal and flourish. We can and must do better.

    I've run for public office three times and the 2018 election was the most challenging for me ever. Read why and how moving forward, we can make democracy stronger. "The Trumping of Toronto politics: how I became the target of an alt-right slander campaign"

    Gotta be honest, the constant "2018 wasn't all bad guys cheer up! " rhetoric is kind of grating on me, working in harm reduction. Deaths continue to increase, and though there's more SCS, it's not enough and people are still dying every day, & those in power don't care
