New podcast!

The Hockey Canada trial is winding down at the #ldnont courthouse and it has been... bizarre.

I am not religious, but one of the last things that Pope Francis did before he passed away was visit inmates at a Roman prison.

I lost my fur baby of nearly 20 years last week, and my dear friend had this made for me. Always remember that a little kindness can really lift someone’s spirits.

Absolutely horrifying. This makes my blood boil every time I see it. I cannot accept that this is how inmates are treated in Canada.

Forty-six inmates died in provincial jails last year. More than a quarter of them were at Maplehurst Correctional Complex.
