I recently had lunch with a man who once lived on the streets.

We had the best conversation.

It was impossible to hold back tears as he shared his story with me. His battle with addiction. Time in jail. The violence he experienced on the streets. The loss of loved ones and family members. The pain and struggles that had shaped his life.

If I had met him during that chapter of his life, I might have looked at him the same way some people look at people struggling on Edmonton's streets today.
Maybe he's a lost cause.

But he wasn't.
He found a sober living house.
He found an opportunity to begin again.
He started his recovery journey.
And today, he is a successful businessman and leading an agency dedicated to helping others get off the streets and rebuild their lives. Making real and positive changes.

Think about that for a moment.
The person who once needed someone to believe in him is now helping other people believe in themselves.

I have only spent a couple of hours with this man, but I walked away incredibly inspired.

His story is a reminder that we don't always know what is possible for someone based on where they are today.

The person sleeping on the street today could be a future business owner.
A future mentor.
A future employer.
A future advocate.
Or simply someone who gets the chance to become the person their family always knew they could be.

That's why I believe our work in Alberta needs to be about more than managing homelessness.

We need pathways from the streets to housing, recovery, treatment, mental health support, employment and community.

And we need to walk alongside people long enough for those pathways to actually lead somewhere.

Never judge someone's future by their hardest chapter.

Sometimes the person you think needs saving today becomes the person who helps save someone else tomorrow.

Months after her arrest on June 2, 2026, Palestinian Christian university student Natalie Abudayyeh remains imprisoned following an Israeli military court's decision on July 5th, to deny her release on bail. Natalie was one of four Palestinian female university students arrested during Israeli military raids, including one student who is a U.S. citizen. Her family has been denied all in-person visits since her detention, and her lawyer continues to face severe restrictions on access. Natalie is being held at Damon Prison in Haifa, where reports have raised serious concerns about the treatment and conditions faced by Palestinian women detainees.
