Cause Song of the Month:

DAVID LEASK, "When You Think No One Loves You," 2019

"When You Think No One Loves You," the new single from Scottish-Canadian singer-songwriter David Leask, is about confronting what he calls "an epidemic of loneliness," insisting in the final lyric, ""I'm just telling you, somebody does." The video follows the small sad moments of three unconnected people, an elderly widower, a single mom, and a bullied teen. Says Leask, "My hope is that the video can raise awareness for and give comfort to as many people as possible who are feeling lonely and unloved in this world, whatever the reason may be.” Buy it here. — Aaron Brophy.

Product of the Month

Sam the teddy bear won't be just an adorable gift this holiday season, he'll also be helping support mental health causes. That's because Sam is retailer HBC's 13th annual limited-edition Heritage Charity Bear. Named after Samuel Hearne, who was tasked with the task of establishing the Hudson Bay Company's first inland post in Canada in the late 1700s, Sam the bear costs $23.99. One hundred percent of the proceeds from Sam sales will go towards HEADFIRST, the program established by the HBC Foundation to support mental health programming initiatives.
