“For the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, happiness has decreased in all age groups, but especially for the young, so much so that the young are now, in 2021-23, the least happy age group,” the report found. In 2010 the young were happier than those in midlife.”

How do you do, fellow kids? In honor of back-to-school, this week’s Backbench is a Very Special Episode focusing on Gen Z political engagement featuring @samreusch as well as the voices of five youth from across the country ✨

The news cycle is short. Sometimes it’s hard to remember how far we’ve come, especially when the status quo of healthcare remains dire. 11 months ago many folks thought changes in physician mobility were a pipe dream. No political parties or leaders were talking about pan-Canadian Licensure. Now we have an Atlantic physician registry and regulatory changes in multiple provinces. 9 months ago there was a strong rejection of any Provincial or Territorial strings to healthcare funding. Now we have data sharing, credentials recognition and shared priority strings. 7 months ago, we didn’t have the largest investment in healthcare since 2004. Now we have 196B dollars. And 3 month ago, we didn’t have any bills tabled to move forward a national pharmacare program. We now have two! Confidence in healthcare will get better as change compounds over time. The building blocks are there. Zoom out and you’ll realize the odds of better are higher than the news cycle makes you believe.

Wow, good thing there are no major news events happening in the north right now where getting timely information to the public could be a matter of life or death @instagram @facebook

Canada has a polarization problem. What are we going to do about it? Since early this year, I've been working on a deep dive for the Public Policy Forum on the state of our fractious politics. The results are out today: ppforum.ca/publications/p…

It’s been a pleasure, point of connection and call to action to meet so many in the #democracy sector today. And I was thrilled to speak alongside @samreusch Oyindamola Esho and Phaedra de Saint-Rome on “Youth - Democracy Champions or Cynics?” Spoiler: I think they are champs 💯
