forgive the earnest posting, but there have been a few pieces of certifiably Good News in the last few weeks here in Toronto and i feel like sharing them they all share the common trait of addressing problems in a more socially conscious way (short thread)

Thank you so much for this thread. I really needed something to soothe my soul today.

Toronto just launched it's non-police crisis response service city wide. it's our 4th 911 service, and it provides support for people experiencing mental health emergencies using a consent-based, client-centered, community lead model, without involving police www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We also got the free universal breakfast program expanded to every school in the city a couple weeks back! Olivia is quietly going about being an amazing mayor imo

Thanks for sharing these! Good news deserves more attention than the traditional "if it bleeds, it leads" mindset. 🥰
