The cause of homelessness is not simply, not having a home. It’s unaddressed trauma, untreated mental health struggles, and systemic barriers that keep people trapped. To truly end homelessness, we must go beyond shelter, we must heal, support, and empower people at the root of their struggles.
Halifax’s housing crisis didn’t just happen—it was built, or not built... Dal, SMU & MSVU have 31,841 students but only 4,200 beds (13%). About 27.6k are pushed into private rentals. Without that demand, vacancy could rise from 2.1% → ~20%. It's time for universities to act. #Halifax #Housing

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.
Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.
If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

@markcarneyforpm.bsky.social Why not introduce a national rent cap tied directly to inflation? It’s time to protect renters from being priced out of their homes while still allowing fair returns for landlords. Stability benefits everyone. #HousingCrisis #RentControl #Canada #cdnpoli

Interesting election results in Canada! I think one thing is clear, Canadians are saying they don't want "Career Politicians." Real world experience matters!

Integrity is not just a word it's a personal code of conduct. Having integrity is not easy. It can mean telling difficult truths and saying things that people don't want to hear. The reward... it's different for everyone. For me, it's self-actualization!

FALSE. The fastest growing homeless group ISN’T women aged 50+. It’s women in their prime working ages (35-44) and children. Sadly, census data offers the most comprehensive measure of homelessness and the latest data is from 2021. Australia’s homelessness crisis is undercutting the future of us.

It’s okay to feel uncomfortable. That’s where the growth lives. Success demands stepping outside your comfort zone , again and again. Get used to the stretch.

If you have an idea, act on it. There’s no “perfect time.” Waiting for the stars to align means you'll be waiting forever. Momentum > perfection. Start small. Start messy. Just start.

Top-down leadership ignores the people doing the work. Even with good intentions, it leads to burnout + resentment. Just because you think you know best doesn’t mean you do. Empower, don’t alienate.

Asking for help isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. Relying on trained professionals is a strength, not a flaw.
This goes for both those offering support and those receiving it.
Let’s normalize collaboration over isolation.
