Canada's future looks promising, yet if we continue to capitalize our gains and socialize our losses, the mushrooming homelessness, hunger, and gap betwen rich and poor will turn us into a land of haves and have nots. If continued, 30% could suffer food insecurity by 2035.

This happens every day - hundreds of times a day. We see it and it's so humbling. London mobilizes to meet such demand. The London Food Bank is merely the channel for that kind of care. It's inspiring. Thank you, London.

Martin Luther King Jr. did not just change laws; he changed the moral weather. He reminded a restless nation that history bends not by force alone, but by the quiet, stubborn courage of people willing to love their enemies and insist that justice is a form of belonging. We honour him.

I post similar data about child hunger in London every few weeks. People respond by saying something should be done. But it doesn't happen. I don't know what to say. They are our future.

The London Food Bank doesn't jut serve those coming directly for help. Iit helps numerous feeding initiatives across London. 60% of our food drive collections also go to those groups. It's our mandate to help those vital operations since they serve at the front lines of human care.

It stands to reason that if you build up structures while our humanity is breaking down, only a few will benefit from such actions. Talk of change while tolerating hunger isn't reform at all but the status quo. It shrinks future possibilities for our children.

Citizenship moves from being something one possesses to something one inhabits. If we can master this as Canadians, then our future looks promising. It akes collective effort, but we're worth it. Our kids are worth it.

On Vounteer Corner, meet a couple who have had rich volunteer experience in Vancouver, Windsor, and now London. Here they talk about why they like volunteering at the London Food Bank so much. We appreciate them both.

Canada’s challenge is not to abandon its politeness, but to deepen it - to root civility once again in shared life. Without that rooting, loneliness will continue to hollow out our virtues from within. It's time for us all to re-engage. To build a better future.

We all went through a lot in 2025 - times of both uncertainty and promise. Now's our chance to build even better in this new year.
