Spent the week reporting from Texas’s Rio Grande Valley, which flipped red in 2024 on promises of border security and economic strength. It’s now seeing ICE job-site raids that are hurting the economy and stoking constant fears of families being torn apart. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Overdoses, driven to new heights in the 2010s, are not killing as many Canadians as they did a few years ago. Health officials aren’t yet sure whether that’s cause for celebration

The tenants of Park Beach have been fighting aggressive eviction threats for nearly two years. Their landlord has painted them as criminals and thieves - and to their dismay, some Residential Tenancy Branch arbitrators have accepted that characterization. thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

We shouldn’t let this horrific attack at Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Day festival perpetuate the myth that all people with mental illness are violent. But it should remind us focusing on treatment is essential, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... via @theglobeandmail.com

Collingwood Neighbourhood House @collingwoodnh.bsky.social · 15/03/2025
Just hours after #MarkCarney was sworn in as Canada's prime minister, Collingwood Neighbourhood House, along with a group of neighbourhood house organizations in Vancouver, called on federal parties to address rising anti-immigrant sentiment ahead of an imminent election.
Betty Lepps stands behind a podium inside a program room at Collingwood Neighbourhood House. Behind Betty is a group of supporters urging the federal government to take action on increasing immigration services in Canada.
