Touching award for Jody Porter who sadly died in 2022 of cancer. But legendary Thunder Bay CBC reporter has one a Premier’s Award at #2023PA — her partner Wes accepted it and said she was telling indigenous stories before many. Many tears in the room.

The sweet potatoes & carrots in this recipe are loaded with carotenoids, powerful antioxidants that help protect our cells. Carotenoids give plant foods their yellow, orange & red colour💛🧡❤️ 🍠Lumpiang Sariwa recipe by @GBCCHCA student, Gelvin Rocas🙌 ellicsr.ca/en/clinics_progra…

Here’s a cool app that I just learned about on the Vegout podcast (anchor.fm/veg-out) just now ->foodshakeapp.com. Foodshake will translate any recipe into its closest plantbased version! Check out both the podcast and the app. They are worth your time!

A message from Canada’s sweet heart. 👇🏻This isn’t hard or controversial. Shipping live horses to Japan to be killed for consumption is beyond cruel and is just plain wrong. #beagoodhuman
This BAN for shipping live horses to Japan from Canada— was a LIE from the beginning. A promise made to get votes @JustinTrudeau. And now the dance to distract and hope Citizens forget this sinister part of Canadian agriculture
