SUICIDE AWARENESS
We know that when someone is in crisis a bridge can be a symbol of finality and barriers and fencing buy them time, allowing that person the opportunity to connect with the help they need and find hope.

POLICY CHANGES
I want the average person who’s worried about housing or the cost of living to immediately think “climate policy would help with this.”

If you come home safely from a hike you were ill-prepared for, remember that being lucky doesn’t mean you were safe.
Finding a common ground between what you practice and what someone else practices is worthwhile.
“Sweet Baby” Stanley Clarke & George Duke
“How could love so real have turned so empty?” Cue the gut-wrenching heartbreak after the argument at the climax of every good romcom. Will they ever speak to each other again? Will they come to a romantic resolution and love each other until their dying days? It’s usually the latter, but this needs to happen so they can come back stronger than ever. “Sweet Baby” encapsulates what it feels like to realize that you may have lost your true love and that strong desire to get them back. Thank you Stanley Clarke and George Duke for conjuring up this heartfelt banger.
“Give Love a Try” Twilight
Sometimes, love feels hopeless and you want to completely give up on searching for it. Perhaps give Twilight a listen and you’ll be excited to “give love a try.” Opening with a funky synth guitar ri , this underground ‘80s gem is sure to have you skipping along a street while daydreaming about your love interest. It’s the greatest opener to your personal romcom where you, the protagonist, have your eyes opened to how beautiful love can be.
“Love Will Keep Us Together” Captain & Tennille
Roll the credits! Happy endings call for happy songs. I can picture the scene all too vividly. Two lovers share a kiss in the middle of a busy street and the camera slowly pans out, revealing the line of cars the fairly-occupied couple are blocking. The track’s funky bass guitar and quick-striking keys tunnel through the beat as cars honk at the ever-so-enchanted couple. The audience lets out a collective sigh and then a collective chuckle.
DISCO DAYS
A bubble machine appeared in the middle of the crowd, as did a person wearing an Elmo costume and holding a sign saying “free hugs.”
In their current regular season, the Whitecaps have played Toronto once — a 4–0 win at BC Place on April 6.
