Every Canadian deserves a place to call home. That's why we created Build Canada Homes. We're using new technology to build more efficiently, unlocking government land to build in more places, and cutting red tape to get more projects started. We're building more affordable homes faster, because a more affordable Canada is a stronger Canada.

What concepts, what ideas that you have, right? What can you share that can be a benefit for those who observe and listen? People that want to be in your shoes, people that aren't in your shoes, and you have to be in your peers. Inspire them to think.
Think all out sometime. We don't have enough philosophy, I think. Our philosophers have disappeared. We don't ponder upon the future and the ideas.
We don't think about things that we don't have any evidence of. We become a people stuck by our senses, but I believe your imagination frees you. It allows you to think beyond things of this world, things that you even have resources for. That's not what we need to focus on.
The first focus is thinking. Do the job of thinking. Because we have resources. As you talked about, the collective power is an instrument that we can wield if we only had a collective vision.
As we go around the world, it's just talking, it's just speaking, it's connecting, it's saying, hey, you in this position, let's build. I'm in this position. Yo, let's be intentional. You in that room invite me to that room.
Why? Because you can see a vision that I can fit. You look around in the room and your environment, that's not there. We talk about diversity, but diversity is fake.
It's false. It's not real. The reason is not real because diversity never cools different ethnicities within side one race. It includes a small percentage that they've decided is safe enough to where we can let in.
Everybody else that other side of America or that other side of black America, because we talk about two sides of America, but there's two sides of black America as well. One is safe. One you can advertise with, one you can invite to the war shows, one you can stand next to, take pictures with, this other side. Oh, no.
We can't rock with them. So just by that, the people with resources already create the division, right? Because they decided that these people aren't polishing them. These people can't fit.
Their ideologies can't be in the room. And we are not going to be empowered until we have both of those come together, right? But if we decide to do the work of our enemies for them by utilizing our positions in power to keep other people at bay, now it ain't no connection to have. Now it's a war.
Now I don't like you. You don't like me. Why? So you can satisfy myself.
You don't really truly don't like me. You just think that if you stand next to me, then you don't get the rewards or standing away from me. I get it. So that isn't, that isn't power.
That isn't freedom, right? And that isn't liberty. So it's like to truly liberate a person and go to liberation. That's when you can have peace.
But until that day happens to where the two sides of black America has to meet, I ain't calling them nobody else. I'm talking about us, right? The unaccepted and the accepted have to come together. Those who have resources, those who don't have resources, the gatekeepers and those who kept out, you're going to benefit more by bringing in more people that they don't want to let in because you're going to change the rules when that happens.
Now you're going to be more comfortable doing things that you want to do, right? You can say, hey, you let me do it or they're going to do it. You know what I'm saying? They do it.
They're going to go wild with it. So you might as well let me or not even let me, but stay out of my way as I do, right? That benefit for my culture. So that day go happen.
You feel me? But I'm glad that there's individuals such as yourself that is growing and that has a mind that you have decided that the world isn't about just the lights, the cameras, your deals, being a superstar and just doing whatever you want to do. You decided that there's a responsibility that comes with power, right? It's funny because it sounds like Spiderman.
Great power coming to the grave. But it's the realest on the planet Earth because it comes back to that. Here's the real one. Anyone can wear the mask.
But it's how you wear the mask to make sure you're a hero. Come on with it. That's Miles Morales. That's his message.
Anyone can wear the mask, but it's how you wear the mask to make sure you're a hero. Anyone can be an actor, a successful actor, legendary actor. It's possible. We've got a couple of them.
Yeah. It's going to make you a hero. I like that. It's how you wear the mask, my brother.
With that being said, man, we just tapped into another high-level conversation with the good brother, Shameek. Or they call him Meek. They call him Meek. Yeah, they got to lead the way.
Peace, family, till next time. Peace. Look, as an artist, I'm going to be respected for what I'm contributing to the conversation on camera, through music, through fashion, and all the variables I do. Your impact, it's a lot bigger than me.
I don't really want it. It'll be a long time before the dots connect for the community. It's not about me and what I'm doing. It's about, there's no, you know that phrase, no one managed to have all that power.
It's kind of like what you were saying a little earlier about the different perspectives in the Black community. It's not just one vision. No one person can make the change. I don't even want to approach it like that.
It's just more like starting a fire. You know what I'm saying? You don't know where that fire started, but that whole force is lit. You know what I'm saying?
That's more so my energy is. And then, you know, the right people will know the right things. And you know, if there's a time where the world needs to know the rest and the world to know the rest, but it's not about that. That is my legacy though.
My legacy is an impact. It's not entertainment at all. Entertainment is like the how I reel them in to open up the doors for touching the Black consciousness, connecting the community, generating disruptive impact and better humanity for generations to come. It's a common energy when I meet different people, right?
And it's a resonance. When you tap in with certain people and they meet them in real life and they have a positive spirit and they're like, bro, we got to connect. There's nothing Hollywood about it. There's nothing weird about it.
It's just a genuine energy to connect. And what I can always tell is that, okay, this person has some thoughts and ideas to share. This person has an energy that they probably relate to me on. And that lets me know my tribe.
You feel me? And so I didn't think about this disconnect that we have in the world where we're all in these different places, all in these different rooms, all doing our different things, but we watch each other. But we don't communicate. We don't do these independent projects together.
We don't merge worlds together, right? And I think that for the youth or the world, they need to see it more, right? They need to see us fearlessly connecting with each other, communicating with each other, having these conversations. Even if we go back to the old, you know, Malcolm and Martin, they still have conversations with each other on different sides of the aisle, right?
It's like we talk about Democrats and Republicans having bipartisan shit and we really have it in our own culture, right? It's like the goal is for not everybody to do the same thing. The goal is for a division to be in the room. I always go with that quote that I heard that Nipsey said or that Jay-Z said to Nipsey.
He said, they said Jay-Z told him that you are in places that I can only go to and I'm in places that you can't get to. And that's how we make this thing work. And for me, I interpreted that as we don't have to be in the same rooms together, but the vision does, right? The agenda does, right?
And then at the same time, we can make a way in room for each other, utilizing the resources that we do have. So I believe in intentionality, right? I've seen some of his previous interviews and I feel like sometimes people don't give him the platform to be a self and I feel like that happens a lot with, you know, a lot of rising stars and people that are in the so-called industry. It's like, you know what a person means, you know what they're trying to say, but instead they're trying to make this person intentionally misunderstood so they can get some click-back.
And it's like, no, we need safe spaces to where we can come in and speak our piece. We need our own news outlet so when the person got breaking news, they can deliver it in safe hands so that it's not sensationalized, right? Therefore, it makes this industry safer to be a part of when we do have young men and young women that decide to come up in it. So I believe one of my roles is to be, you know, a shepherd in media, right?
To help shift and change the narrative and also to be a tribal leader, if you will, to connect those tribesmen that do come under that same fold, the same values. So this is at my high level with the good brother. Oh, look, this right here, crazy, disclaimer. Don't take this if you don't want to have a super day.
I think it got way too much of each ingredient in here, especially the lion's mane and the black sea oil and the MCT oil and the cabin noise. This had me up all night and I was just knocking out everything. Got to the point, I ain't even got nothing to do tomorrow. If you want to like spread out your week in a week, don't take this.
If you want to knock out a week in a day, this right here, have you gone, this is like Viagra for the brain. You ever wake up and you feel mentally dry and you don't feel inspired and you ain't got what is required for you to go climb that tower today and knock everything down? Don't take this because this had you pound for pound ready to go mike Tyson rounds. You know, talking about this super mind right here is the best thing that I've ever had in my life.
I mean, it's too much for the average person. Well, maybe we need you to put a disclaimer that this is extreme because this right here, man, I can do I feel like I can do anything. Literally anything. Yeah, this too much.
This too much. This too much. Come on. What else we got to get done, man?
Send me the whole agenda. Let's do everything today. We should go for 24 hours today. I ain't stopping you.
Y'all better take something as well. Matter of fact, here you go. Yeah, you take something because I'm working nonstop ain't no click. Let's go.
