“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Here's a fact most Americans don't know:
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world.
The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits.
We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

So CNN isn't even taking about the fact that Tariff's on Canadian goods are incoming unless the Mango Mushroom backpedals.

Sorry my reasonable US neighbors, shits about to get bad as a protracted trade war is about to start not only with Canada but Europe and Mexico as well.

Truck went into limp mode when I started it for work.
Coffee grinder suddenly wouldn't work, got it to go but it's on it's way out.

Maybe it's the universe saying "Today is not your day, sit your ass down and hope that's all I throw at your punk ass."

-33c this morning, truck made the GFY sounds as I started it, with the wind it feels like -47c... that's -52.6 F for those in the impending Orwellian Dystopia.

🇸🇰🇺🇦 Fico said that we must forgive the Russians. I told Fico that we cannot forgive the murderers. And I believe that this should be a common position. And I told him: "You were shot. Why didn't you forgive? Why did you arrest this person," Zelensky asked Fico a question.

Is the anxiety and guilt of legitimately calling in sick only a GenX thing?
I need 30 minutes to psyche myself up, repeatedly self assess then finally make the call worrying that maybe I don't sound sick enough.

Stats for my last letter carrier route for Canada Post.
33500 steps, converted for my height, 27 kms if I didn't cut any lawns, route had around 400 address's with 4-6 steps, which equalled walking up +/- 2000 stairs.
The Empire State building has 1576 stairs to the 102nd floor.

No matter how many times I read the Wheel of Time series my brain always reads "Dark Friends" as "Dark Fiends", which I think is better nomenclature and a definite miss by the late, great Robert Jordan.

Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style.

And these tankers are now all over the world.

Apparently the Government is forcing us back to work.
What's the point of unions and collective bargaining if the corporation just has to hold out until we're forced back to work.
The federal NDP DIDN'T support us.
If we do go back to work then it's going to be a massive slow down.

This is Ragheed Al-Tatari, the world’s longest-serving prisoner — 40 years with no trial.
He was arrested at the age of 27 in 1980 because he refused to bomb sites in Hama.
Yesterday, he was released. Remember him when you hear about poor russian soldiers who had ‘no choice.’
