The homelessness crisis has been very challenging for many Canadians and new immigrants. In 2016 alone there were an estimated 36,000 people without a fixed address, leading to an increase of stress in healthcare sectors and increased policing. But what went wrong, and why have we not resolved this issue yet? Voicing it joins us today to discuss what has happened to allow the homelessness crisis to continue for this long in Canada.

As social media has become more present in our lives, it seems as though our private lives are increasingly becoming more prone to being more public. But at what cost? We might not think about it too much while making our Instagram posts or sharing articles on our timelines, but there is a lot happening in our digital life that impacts our general real life. Today we talk with Bailey Parnell of #SafeSocial to get more insights about how the line between our digital profile and our real profile seems to get blurry at times.
