Mental Health and the Role of Society to Combat it: Special Podcast

                                                                  

Last week (April 18th-19th, 2020) a mass shooter went on a rampage for over 12 hours in the province of Nova Scotia here in Canada. Investigations are still on the way at the time we recorded this episode but there are strong signs of a mental problem for the shooter.

 Two years ago, in about the same period, a mentally ill man killed 10 people hitting them in a rental truck in Toronto, only two months after that another mentally ill armed young man killed two and injured 13 in a mass shooting in the Danforth area in Toronto. 

Endless stories of people taking their own lives because of mental problems and the issue got bigger during the COVID-19 crisis.

 In this episode we are trying to shed some light on the mental health issue and how the society (local or global) can combat it together. 

Sharing personal stories and life experiences we're not trying to, nor claiming, that we offer any solution but we're trying to keep the conversation going on as we believe it's not being talked about enough. 

Episode Topics: 1- 0:20 Intro and paying respect for the Nova Scotia shooting victims. https://youtu.be/6Z9v8gsukGI?t=0m20s 

2- 4:13 How governments (Federal or Provincial), cities and municipalities can help in the mental health issues https://youtu.be/6Z9v8gsukGI?t=4m13s 

 3- 24: 10 The bigger role of the community to help combatting the mental issues and create safe spaces for people with mental problems. https://youtu.be/6Z9v8gsukGI?t=24m10s 

 4- 49:50 Closing remarks https://youtu.be/6Z9v8gsukGI?t=49m50s

Costco adventure: Shopping Special #corvid19

        Friday March 20th

          We were in the 1st week of Corvid19 Pandemic and we had to go shopping!

      So we got our gloves and homemade masks departed to Costco near Downsview

       Parking lots was full and as we near the normal entrance we were directed to another entrance and what I saw was little funny and interesting. They had created an obstacle course using blue chep pallets that were in the form of a snake and with sign post to maintain 2 meter social distance.

      I entered the store about 10 minutes later and it was awesome! Had all sorts of room to do jumping jacks and run around. On normal days my personal space would be interfered with

          As I got to the check out many of the Costo customers agreed with my statement "This is how Costco should be all the time!"
