Harold Jonker: The kindest heart, the most selfless family man, and the funniest guy in the room. He’s the one that shows up to the party with homemade apple pie, and sends you home with some 😌 Harold sacrificed it all for our country.

Harold, after 1.5 years - has been criminally charged with his involvement in the convoy. Blindsided, confused, I’m not sure how I feel about something so unjust. But one thing is for sure, I have hope. The Jonker’s are friends that have become family. I stand with you Harold ❤️

Harold will be in Ottawa on May 10th to turn himself in. Please pray for him!

Recently, I had the opportunity to join a very close friend of mine, Ancila, during what she calls “Soup Sunday”; a community event she has been running since January 2017.

Every second Sunday, Ancila cooks hearty, warm meals to be given to those in need. Community volunteers gather at the restaurant to prepare hundreds of bags of snacks, socks, and other necessities. These volunteers fill their trunks up with food and make their way to downtown Toronto making several stops at shelters, addiction centres, and directly to the streets to feed those in need.

It was the coldest day of the year - temperatures dropped to -25 degrees. “Ancila, what has your experience been like? Is it safe? How do people respond?” I asked with my limited experience in community outreach as we we drove through the downtown streets. I began taking notice of the gentrification in Toronto- the transition from deluxe new condos to torn, beaten down buildings.

Ancila began to explain, “When I’m trying to give, people tell me, ‘I don’t need more. I only need food for today.’” She continued, “You know, we are only as strong as our most vulnerable members. Instead of looking down on people who are down on their luck, we should look at it as an opportunity to build our karma. How good would that be? Isn’t it?” I paused and thought about the profoundness of her message. “In the scheme of life” Ancila continued, “they are actually playing the hard part. We’ve been given the easier part. It is our responsibility to take care of those in need.”

Having been so pre-occupied with my own struggles and problems in life, her wisdom struck a chord with me. “Does this come out of your own pocket?” I asked. She replied, “The only reason I work, is so I can continue to give. Otherwise, what’s the point?”

That day, we stopped at 3 shelters, an addiction centre, and handed food and winter coats directly in people hands.

If anyone in the greater Toronto Area is interested to get involved, please comment below.❤️

I haven’t been as active on this account as I would like to be.. I guess creative inspiration comes and goes in lulls - but I’ll be sharing photos from some events I’ve shot in the past several months 📸

I spent the afternoon reviewing some photos from the archives. I don’t know why, but something about this specific series made me incredibly emotional.

I took these photos on my way to Ottawa for Rolling Thunder in April. For those who may not know - Rolling Thunder was a rally organized to pay respects for our veterans, while standing up against mandates.

From a distance, I saw one single couple and their 2 young children standing at the overpass, waving a Canadian flag while jumping up and down as we passed. If you zoom in real close - you can see the expression of pure joy, excitement, and hope on their faces.

Looking at these photos - I couldn’t help but think of everything that led to this moment. What they were feeling, why they felt compelled to stand there alone to wave a flag.

I thought about the way mandates may have affected their own lives and their children’s lives. Did they get laid off? Did they lose friends? Family? What brought them to the point of saying, “enough is enough?” Did they feel incredibly isolated for years, like many of us?

They got in their car, strapped their children in their seats, drove to an overpass, and waited in the cold. Waited for a mere moment for several hundred motorcycles to pass, just to show their support. To show us that they had our backs, that we weren’t alone.

To this day, when I see people on an overpass with a flag - it brings up so many emotions in me. Thousands of cars pass - maybe some honk.

At the end of the day, all we desire is connection and love - and in that moment, thats exactly what I felt. ❤️

If we all stand up, the game is over. The power is in the hands of the people - not the other way around.
