Earlier today I was walking down Bay St. near Gerrard. There was a homeless man sitting on the ground leaning against the wall holding an empty Tim’s cup out. He recognized me and said “Hi Kevin”. I stopped. He told me his name was Glenn. Then he said something that shook me.. “Do you think I should kill myself?” The question & his forthrightness in asking it caught me off guard. I sat down beside him there on the sidewalk. I asked him to explain. He said “all day people tell me to ‘get lost’ ‘f off’ ‘go to hell’. Feels like they want me to just die.”

I’m thrilled #HowIFightDepression is trending. I’ve been diagnosed with severe anxiety and severe depression. I’m on meds,seeing a therapist & doing my homework. There’s hope for EVERYONE. Please read this thread even if it is your family member or friend living with depression. #HowIFightDepression 1. ADMIT IT; It’s ok. It is your body trying to deal with something just like fever fights infection. And once you share it with others...it’ll blow you away how many others have it too.

1/ #onpoli To all those who made #DougFordIsCorrupt & #FordCorruptAF trend...your message has been heard. I knew from the beginning @fordnation was all bluster and blab, wrong for this province. Serious question though.... 2/ Are you truly prepared to elect a politician who is RIGHT for Ontario? I’m not sure we are. That person would first of all have to tell you THE TRUTH. They would have to remind you that this province owns one of the largest debts IN THE WORLD. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…

Great question Daniel but might I add another? What do you think WE, as readers/watchers of news, need to do better in consuming and understanding media? Here is a thread of some suggestions. #NewsWise
