No one earns that kind of money \u2013 it can only be gained by exploiting people down the production line. A minimum wage that means people can\u2019t afford an apartment, childcare, continued education, or retirement savings is a theft by those controlling the system. These are people worth over a billion dollars taking food from the mouths of children. It would be a laughable caricature if it weren\u2019t the truth of our lives. A system was created and is being upheld to benefit a tiny few at the expense of all the rest of us \u2013 and I put \u2018all of us\u2019 together because I doubt anyone reading this, regardless of income, has a billionaire on speed-dial. Eight men (of course men) own more money than half the planet. Is it really the minimum wage Wal-Mart staff you\u2019re angry at? Or is it just easier to kick sideways when kicking up never lands?<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>When we lash out at people addicted to drugs for costing taxpayers money, for not understanding the value of life, for not acting \u201crationally\u201d in a completely irrational world, we can put aside the fact that almost every addict has experienced trauma, that they feel alienated and cast aside, that they feel grief just as strongly as any of the \u201crest of us\u201d. We can forget that abuse, trauma, poverty, and existential fear drive addiction and other \u201canti-social\u201d behaviours. Can we call ourselves a society when we decide who\u2019s in and who\u2019s thrown out? Maybe it\u2019s easier to rail against how much addiction and mental illness cost the province than realize that our medical system and social supports are outdated, stunted, and constantly playing catch up. Canada is an extremely arrogant country, and especially in the arena of social supports. Portugal implanted a radical drug policy: \u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/2017\/dec\/05\/portugals-radical-drugs-policy-is-working-why-hasnt-the-world-copied-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Portugal\u2019s policy<\/a><\/span> rests on three pillars: one, that there\u2019s no such thing as a soft or hard drug, only healthy and unhealthy relationships with drugs; two, that an individual\u2019s unhealthy relationship with drugs often conceals frayed relationships with loved ones, with the world around them, and with themselves; and three, that the eradication of all drugs is an impossible goal.\u201d  We aren\u2019t going to get rid of drugs. We shouldn\u2019t want to get rid of people who are addicted. What else do we have? The attitude I\u2019ve witnessed toward recent overdoses in Muskoka is more akin to \u2018they had it coming\u2019 than \u2018how can we save the lives of our friends and neighbours?\u2019 Every person has the opportunity to shift from blame and shame to courage and compassion. It\u2019s become too easy to hand wash away the issues we face as a community \u2013 but the hard thing and the right thing are often the same.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very easy to pretend to be a preserver of life when it comes to abortions. Who wouldn\u2019t want to be an advocate for literally the most \u2018innocent\u2019 and voiceless amongst us? Men who will never need to make such a decision \u2013 many who\u2019ve never managed to consider why a woman would consider terminating a pregnancy \u2013 make sweeping decisions and punishing laws about women\u2019s bodies all over the world. As soon as that baby is born, however? If it\u2019s poor, it\u2019s no longer worth fighting for. If it\u2019s a person of colour, it can expect racism and oppression. If it\u2019s disabled, the fight for supports will be a lifelong battle. If it\u2019s a girl, she\u2019ll be subjected to misogyny and as long as those men are in charge, they will never work to eradicate that particular form of violence. This isn\u2019t an argument for life, because the people I see in the comments section saying that abortion is murder are the same saying that junkies deserve to OD. It\u2019s about control. Again, how much easier is it to kick a woman who is considering abortion than it is to fight against the poverty forcing her to make that decision, or the abuser who will use that child, if it were born, to control her? Why are the anti-abortion crowd so quick to tell women what to do but nowhere to be found when it comes to fighting for more supports for mothers and children?<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Whenever I am on social media, I see the divide between community members stretch out like a chasm, impassable even by the tightrope many of us often try to walk. The living wage, unions, tourists, addiction and mental illness, homelessness, sexism and racism, even dog sledding is at the heart of a rampaging debate. Everyone chooses their side: their own, the government\u2019s, the unborn, the oppressed, the animals, so many even decide to speak on the behalf of money, as if money isn\u2019t the biggest microphone around.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have a pithy way to tie all these examples together. The thread running through is so obvious to me that I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m going another round on this. Sometimes when I walk outside at night, I look at the stars and scream for an intervention from\u2026 someone (aliens, AI, heck I\u2019d even taken heaven at this point), someone or something to make it so glaringly obvious that we are stuck in the same battles, that we are fighting the wrong \u2018enemy\u2019, that we are being used as pawns in a machine with greater strategy than we could ever imagine. I don\u2019t even like the militaristic language here because I feel like I\u2019m feeding that machine.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I would just ask that we listen with the intent to understand, that we love with the hope that it helps, that we see each other for who we are and not what we assume or project. That we try on the moccasins \u2013 and allow ourselves to wonder why they hurt so much and ask if there\u2019s anything we can do to help. There always is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
