Poverty & discrimination hit hardest in tough times — and in Canada, the most vulnerable always pay the heaviest price. We can look away… or we can act. At the @SappaniFdn, we choose action. We help BIPOC girls in Canada break cycles of poverty through education. In our 5th year, we’ve partnered with @CNIB to create an annual award for BIPOC girls with vision loss pursuing post-secondary dreams. Meet our 2025 recipient: Keerthana Kelly Blind + hard of hearing, yet unstoppable. CICE student ✓ Church & community volunteer ✓ Mentor to others ✓ Pure resilience. She reminds us exactly why this work matters. If your company has a CSR program, ask yourself: where can your support change lives the most? #Education #GirlsMatter #BIPOC #DisabilityInclusion #PovertyReduction

Some 40 percent of the potential top 1 percent of Canadian earners have emigrated to the U.S. Read @CharlesLammam in @TheHubCanada: thehub.ca/2026/03/20/why…

We need an economic union with the USA, with one currency and no barriers for companies on both sides selling goods & services to ppl on both sides. Canadians would benefit hugely from price reductions in groceries, airlines, telecom, banking , clothing—literally everything where we currently pay more.

This is going to be one of the biggest modern-day miracle drugs so far. Ozempic will not only save millions of lives in India but also bring a cultural change in eating habits and billions in savings to people from obesity-related side effects on other organs and body parts, including knee joint replacements.

At @GoogleDeepMind, we believe AI is the ultimate catalyst for science. 🧬 The best example of this has been the AlphaFold database (AFDB) of protein structure predictions which has been used free of cost by more than 3.3 millions researchers across the world! Today, in collaboration with @emblebi, @Nvidia and @SeoulNatlUni, we are expanding the database by adding millions of AI-predicted protein complex structures to the AlphaFold Database. To maximise global health impact, we’ve prioritised proteins that are important for understanding human health and disease, including homodimers from 20 of the most studied organisms, including humans, as well as the @WHO’S bacterial priority pathogens list.

Well done @ABDanielleSmith . This should be followed nationally. MAiD needs to be paused, new guard rails laid and public oversight brought before we reopen it . Leftists agenda pushing Govt to kill seniors and disabled people needs to end . Sick people need help not Murder.

ICE detain 7 year old girl from Canada—who suffers from severe autism. She's traumatized in loud & overcrowded cell—no reason she can't be at home with her legal stepfather. "They are being unlawfully detained," he said. "My wife and daughter's papers are good and up to date." He provided his wife's social security documentation—that prove she is a lawful alien with a right to work in the U.S. Mother and child are currently locked up at the Ursula ICE detention center in McAllen, Texas—notorious for having child "cages."

Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him. He did not stop. Then one stranger got up and joined him. Then another. Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field. Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world." The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them. Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.

Honestly, as someone who has traveled a lot, India is the best country I have ever traveled to. It’s incredible. I will have been here for 9 days when I leave, and there is still so much to see and do. My experience has been amazing and India is portrayed negatively in the media as a place Amercians should avoid, but I realize a lot of that is completely made up. The people, food, culture and hospitality culture are just incredible. I have felt safe and comfortable the entire time I have been here and India will truly be the next big super power. This country has incredible potential and you have to see it yourself to understand because the media only makes it out to be 3rd world. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Indian people are the nicest people I have ever met. I am very grateful for my time in India. I have enjoyed it so much and I hope I can come back every year. Next time I want to visit South India. I have tried to do as much as possible these last 9 days but there is still so much to see and do. All good things come to an end. I’ll be back (hopefully soon). I love India. My misconceptions have been corrected. I have nothing but nice things to say. 🇮🇳

Ultra-processed foods increase a person’s risk for major heart issues. Each additional serving increases risk of a major cardiac event by 5%. People who eat more than nine servings a day have a 67% increased risk of heart attack, stroke or cardiac arrest. healthday.com/health-news/ca…

The DEA is acknowledging that teen cannabis use has fallen sharply over the past three decades, despite 40 states legalizing medical cannabis and 24 legalizing adult-use cannabis within that period. themarijuanaherald.com/2026/03/dea-ad…

Agree with Premier on this. Criminals should be shot and residents should be rewarded for it, not punished.

The prosecution & defence counsel agreed that the accused committed immigration fraud. But the CBSA botched the case, so the judge let the accused walk free. No jail time & no criminal record. Now he is suing for breach of his Charter Rights. cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

@hvgoenka Indian takes OCI/ NRI/Diaspora as tourists, so not real tourists technically and hence India's numbers will be much lower. Numbers should be taken based on foreign passport holders using hotels, not at airports or remove OCI /NRI from the list.

India at #12 with just 9M tourists despite unmatched culture, history and diversity- this chart says it all. To unlock our true tourism potential: - Shift from “places” to immersive experiences - Simplify visas & boost air connectivity - Fix infrastructure & last-mile access - Market India like a global brand - Make our country clean

A US national survey found only 3% of adults with Down syndrome had a full-time paid job, not because they can’t work, but because almost nobody will hire them. This coffee shop is Kopi Kamu in Jakarta. 7 of its 10 employees have Down syndrome, ages 17 to 33. They take orders, brew coffee, serve customers, clean tables. One of them, a 23-year-old named Ikhlas, does latte art. The owner started the program in December 2023 after watching kids with Down syndrome brew coffee at a charity festival and thinking, wait, why don’t they have a real place to do this? Sales grew beyond what he expected. I looked up what actually happens when companies hire people with disabilities, and the data is hard to argue with. A food company called Carolina Fine Snacks saw turnover collapse from 80% every six months to under 5%. Absenteeism dropped from 20% to under 5%. The non-disabled employees started performing better too. DuPont ran a 30-year study and found disabled employees matched or beat their peers on every metric. Accenture studied 346 companies in 2023. Businesses leading in disability inclusion had 1.6x more revenue, 2.6x more net income, and double the economic profit of their peers. Every time someone actually runs the numbers on this, the same answer comes back. In the US, Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, founded by two parents of kids with Down syndrome, started in 2016 with 19 workers in a 500-square-foot shop. Within six months they needed a space ten times bigger. They’re now at 18+ locations, 11 states, 450+ employees with intellectual disabilities. Profitable. 80% of people with intellectual disabilities in the US are unemployed. In Europe, only 5 to 13% of adults with Down syndrome hold regular jobs. Indonesia has roughly 300,000 people with Down syndrome. Kopi Kamu employs seven of them.

To those celebrating St. Patrick's Day across Canada. Have fun. I don't mind you celebrating your culture that you brought from your country of origin here in Canada. Your parades are inconvenient but don't bother me. I assume you'll extend the same courtesy to me. :)

Canadians in Toronto are coming together to honour the life of Nancy Grewal, a Sikh Canadian woman who was outspoken about terrorism and corruption who was one the few brave people to call out Khalistan by name. After months of violence, harassment and arson she was murdered in her home by terrorist sympathizers. This Thursday 6pm at Mel Lastman Square people will be there to honour her legacy.
