📱 SOCIAL MEDIA: GOOD FOR US OR BAD FOR US?

Social media has become a huge part of our lives — but is it helping us more than it is hurting us?

On one hand, I’ve seen incredible examples of social media being used for good. A missing child can be found because thousands of people share a post. Someone in need can receive help. Important information can reach people within minutes. Communities can come together in ways that were almost impossible before.

But on the other hand, we’ve also seen the darker side. Misinformation, bullying, harmful influences, addiction, unhealthy comparisons, and dangerous online trends can have serious consequences. Sometimes the influence of social media can even contribute to people making tragic decisions.

So, what is the real answer?

Is social media good or bad for society—or does it depend on how we use it?

👉 Does social media bring us closer together, or push us further apart?
👉 Should platforms take more responsibility for harmful content?
👉 Are parents, schools, governments, or users themselves responsible for teaching people how to use social media safely?
👉 Can the good outweigh the bad?

VOICES OF DISSENT wants to hear your voice.

💬 What do YOU think?

Please share your opinion respectfully. You may completely disagree with someone — and that’s okay. Different voices are how meaningful conversations begin.

VOICES OF DISSENT — Speak your mind. Listen to others.

As a long-time resident of the neighbourhood since 1995, I have seen many changes over the years. Our community around Resilience Montreal (780 Atwater Ave.) was once a clean, quiet, and family-friendly place where people felt comfortable walking in the evenings.

Today, many residents no longer feel safe. Every night, families, seniors, women, and children go for walks to enjoy the cooler weather, but they are often confronted by individuals who appear to be intoxicated or experiencing serious mental health issues. Some shout at people, harass women, or even push pedestrians. I have personally experienced this myself.

Many residents feel that these incidents are not being addressed adequately. Too often, action seems to happen only after someone calls 911. Some families hesitate to report incidents because they worry it may create additional problems or lead to retaliation, so many situations go unreported.

The stretch from Lionel-Groulx to Saint-Henri along Notre-Dame Street is generally a quieter area, yet these issues occur seven days a week. Individuals are sleeping on sidewalks, in parks, and in public spaces. As a result, our streets and parks have become dirtier, and many residents no longer feel comfortable or safe walking at night.

This is not about blaming people who are struggling with mental illness or homelessness. They deserve compassion, proper mental health care, housing, and support services. At the same time, residents also deserve to feel safe in their own neighbourhood.

We respectfully ask the City of Montreal, community organizations, and law enforcement to work together to improve public safety, provide better outreach and mental health support, and help restore the cleanliness and security of our neighbourhood for everyone.

Sometimes the world reminds you how different people can be.

Today I was sitting beside the Lachine Canal, enjoying the beautiful weather and a moment of peace. Yet, not one, but several people seemed determined to disturb that peace. One man even pushed my leg, as if to tell me I wasn't welcome to sit there and relax.

I could have reacted with anger. I could have started an argument. Instead, I chose peace.

A little while later, a white lady covered in tattoos walked by. Many people might judge her by her appearance or feel uncomfortable before even speaking to her. She simply smiled, asked me, "Do you love someone?" I replied, "Yes, I love God." She handed me a rose and continued on her way.

That moment reminded me of something important: appearances don't define kindness, and a person's skin color doesn't define their worth.

Yes, there are people in this world who try to take away your peace. But there are also people who restore it with the smallest acts of kindness.

Don't let the bad ones make you forget the good ones. Choose peace over anger, kindness over judgment, and never assume you know someone's heart just by looking at them.

Sometimes, a single rose can outweigh a hundred moments of negativity. 🌹

HISTORY MADE AT FIFA WORLD CUP 2026! 🇨🇦❤️💚🇧🇩

As a proud Canadian-Bangladeshi, words cannot describe the absolute chills of watching the opening ceremony! Seeing our own Bangladeshi boy Sanjoy Dev share the world’s biggest stage with the phenomenal Nora Fatehi and Vegedream was an unforgettable moment!

Hearing "Siir Siir" rock the stadium was electric, but seeing Sanjoy proudly pointing to the Royal Bengal Tiger, the shapla, and our red-and-green flag embroidered on his sleeve completely stole the show! Talk about carrying your roots wherever you go. 🐯✨

Huge congratulations to this incredible trio for an iconic, high-energy performance that set the stage on fire! Nora, you made Canada so proud on home turf, and Sanjoy, you just showed the global stage what Bangladeshi talent looks like. 🙌⚽️🔥

📢 IMPORTANT MESSAGE: About Recent Bank & Digital Income Situation (Creators & Freelancers)

📢 গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বার্তা: সাম্প্রতিক ব্যাংক ও ডিজিটাল আয়ের পরিস্থিতি

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion around a 7.5% deduction on foreign digital income (YouTube, Meta, freelancing payments) in Bangladesh. Many creators noticed this deduction and it created confusion and strong reactions online.

সম্প্রতি বাংলাদেশে ইউটিউব, মেটা এবং ফ্রিল্যান্সিং আয়ের উপর ৭.৫% কর্তনের বিষয়টি নিয়ে অনেক আলোচনা হচ্ছে। অনেক কনটেন্ট ক্রিয়েটর এই ডিডাকশন দেখে বিভ্রান্ত ও উদ্বিগ্ন হয়েছেন।

───

⚠️ What we should understand / আমাদের যা বোঝা দরকার

This situation is not about blaming one person or one bank. In most cases, these matters are related to system rules, tax interpretation, and regulatory processes.

এটা কোনো একজন ব্যক্তি বা একটি ব্যাংককে দোষ দেওয়ার বিষয় না। বেশিরভাগ ক্ষেত্রে এগুলো সিস্টেম, নীতিমালা এবং রেগুলেটরি প্রসেসের ব্যাখ্যার সাথে সম্পর্কিত।

───

❗ Important update / গুরুত্বপূর্ণ আপডেট

Following feedback and concern from the creator and freelancer community, banks have reportedly paused or suspended the automatic 7.5% deduction in many cases while the matter is being reviewed.

ক্রিয়েটর ও ফ্রিল্যান্সার কমিউনিটির প্রতিক্রিয়ার পর অনেক ক্ষেত্রে ব্যাংকগুলো এই ৭.৫% অটোমেটিক ডিডাকশন সাময়িকভাবে স্থগিত করেছে এবং বিষয়টি পর্যালোচনায় রয়েছে।

───

⚠️ What everyone should NOT do / যা করা উচিত না

🚫We should NOT:
• Harass or blame individual bank employees
• Create public pressure on individuals
• Spread incomplete or one-sided information
• Take justice into our own hands outside legal process

🚫আমাদের যা করা উচিত না:
• ব্যাংক কর্মকর্তা বা ব্যক্তিকে হেনস্তা করা
• কারও বিরুদ্ধে ব্যক্তিগত চাপ তৈরি করা
• অসম্পূর্ণ তথ্য ছড়ানো
• আইনি প্রক্রিয়ার বাইরে গিয়ে নিজের হাতে বিচার নেওয়া

───

✅ What we SHOULD do / যা করা উচিত
✔ Follow official complaint procedures
✔ Contact bank customer service properly
✔ Request written clarification when needed
✔ Wait for verified updates from authorities
✔ Keep communication respectful and calm

✔ অফিসিয়াল কমপ্লেইন প্রসেস ফলো করা
✔ ব্যাংকের কাস্টমার সার্ভিসের সাথে যোগাযোগ করা
✔ প্রয়োজন হলে লিখিত ব্যাখ্যা চাওয়া
✔ যাচাই করা তথ্যের জন্য অপেক্ষা করা
✔ শান্ত ও সম্মানজনক আচরণ বজায় রাখা

───

📌 Final message / শেষ কথা
Social media is powerful. But with power comes responsibility. One incident or one video can affect many lives, so we must be careful how we react and respond.

সোশ্যাল মিডিয়া শক্তিশালী, কিন্তু শক্তির সাথে দায়িত্বও আসে। একটি ঘটনা বা ভিডিও অনেক মানুষের জীবনে প্রভাব ফেলতে পারে, তাই আমাদের প্রতিক্রিয়াও দায়িত্বশীল হওয়া উচিত।

সপ্না আপু, একটা কথা বলি। প্রতিটা প্রতিষ্ঠানেরই কিছু নিয়ম-কানুন এবং নির্দিষ্ট প্রক্রিয়া থাকে। ব্যাংক যদি কোনো টাকা কেটে থাকে, তাহলে সেটা কোনো কর্মকর্তা নিজের পকেটে নেওয়ার জন্য কাটেনি; ব্যাংকের নীতিমালা অনুযায়ীই কাটা হয়েছে। তাই ব্যাংকে গিয়ে এভাবে পরিস্থিতি তৈরি করা আমার কাছে যুক্তিযুক্ত মনে হয় না।

আপনি একজন পরিচিত মানুষ, তাই আপনার দায়িত্বও একটু বেশি। ব্যাংকের মতো জায়গায় হেলমেট পরে প্রবেশ করা, অনুমতি ছাড়া ভিডিও করা এবং কর্মচারীদের ক্যামেরার সামনে এনে জবাবদিহি করতে বাধ্য করা ঠিক নয়। জনপ্রিয়তা কাউকে নিয়মের ঊর্ধ্বে নিয়ে যায় না।

আমি যদি সেখানে একজন গ্রাহক হিসেবে উপস্থিত থাকতাম এবং আমার অনুমতি ছাড়া আমাকে ভিডিও করা হতো, তাহলে আমি অবশ্যই আপত্তি জানাতাম এবং আইনি ব্যবস্থা নেওয়ার কথাও ভাবতাম। ব্যাংকে আমার নিরাপত্তা, গোপনীয়তা এবং ব্যক্তিগত অধিকার রক্ষা করা ব্যাংকের দায়িত্ব।

আরেকটা বিষয়, আপনি ভাগ্যবান যে ঘটনাটা বাংলাদেশে ঘটেছে। ইউরোপ বা উত্তর আমেরিকার অনেক দেশে অনুমতি ছাড়া এভাবে ভিডিও করা, অন্যের গোপনীয়তা লঙ্ঘন করা বা নিরাপত্তা বিধি অমান্য করার কারণে গুরুতর আইনি সমস্যায় পড়তে হতে পারে, এমনকি ফৌজদারি অভিযোগও হতে পারে।

সমালোচনা করা সহজ, কিন্তু আগে পুরো প্রক্রিয়াটা বোঝার চেষ্টা করাও জরুরি।

When the scenery is truly beautiful, you don’t need a high-end camera or the latest phone, nature itself becomes the masterpiece. 🌿✨❄️

Montreal really needs to rethink its traffic and road planning. I have no issue with bike lanes, but during winter, piles of snow make most of them unusable. Why place bike lanes on roads with yield signs that already have limited space?

Everywhere you go there are detours, road closures, and intersections where only two sides are open while traffic lights operate as if all four are. Many roads are blocked for weeks with no visible work, and even at night, closures remain while no one is working.

To make it worse, the car registration price went up, yet we’re driving on roads that feel like off-road tracks in the jungle. With Metro closures and traffic jams everywhere, Montreal has become a maze of frustration.
