Truth and Reconciliation All Year Long, Starve the Hunger, Managing the Midlife Crisis and More

Truth and Reconciliation Day has passed and Orange shirts have been packed away for another year. This does not mean we can move on for another year. Only 10 of the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission have been addressed, which means activism needs to be less performative and more constructive. Samanta Krishnapillai from On Canada Project joins me to share what that should look like. Thanksgiving will not be a happy occasion for over a million Canadians this year, as inflation forces more and more people to seek relief from Canada’s food banks. Food insecurity and hunger is at an all-time high and food banks are stretched to help support soaring demand. Kirstin Beardsley, CEO of Food Banks Canada wants all Canadians to know that food alone will not solve hunger and food insecurity in Canada – and shares how we can all get involved to help our neighbours and communities. Anne Brodie pops in with enough new entertainment to get you through a long weekend and the anticipated turkey coma.

Plus The Lincoln Project on Showtime which takes a look at the the fastest-growing super PAC in America, as they take on the task of “saving democracy” and defeating their own party’s sitting president. Mid-life can be a crisis for some and a time of release for others, and all of that depends largely on your mindset going into it. Jennifer John from The Sacred Space Coaching pops by with some tips on moving through this time of life with intention and purpose so that you can write the best next chapter of your life.
