Happy to have been a part of it all. Thanks for everything, @JustinTrudeau.

Ten years ago, I would never predicted the older me would have the saucy gay woman and insufferable numbskull podcast in my favourites. But, here I am.

Scott @profgalloway and Kara keep it interesting.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

It was with the heaviest of hearts that we learned of the passing of Canada’s longest-reigning Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She was a constant presence in our lives – and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

C’est avec le cœur lourd que nous avons appris le décès de la plus longue souveraine du Canada, Sa Majesté la reine Elizabeth II. Elle était une présence constante dans nos vies - et son service aux Canadiens restera à jamais une partie importante de l’histoire de notre pays.

[Rob Haswell @CRFHaswell]

Everyone in the Cameo Picturehouse cheering when this happened @AlexRFernandes_

Dear America,

You can't ban all abortions.

You are just banning safe ones.

You can’t ban abortions.

You are just creating a culture of silence and shame for women.

Spoken from a country that lived that experienced everyday until 2018,

Ireland.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

What the Supreme Court just did is an outrage. A woman has a right to make her own health care choices choices. From now until November, we fight.

[Justin Ling (Has Left) @Justin_Ling]

SCOTUS majority: Listen, stop worrying about gay rights (Obergefell, Lawrence) or contraceptive rights (Eisenstadt, Griswold) because this is totally different

Clarence Thomas: Revisiting all those decisions is absolutely the plan

[Carla Qualtrough @CQualtro]

Some historic news this morning: Canada gained 93,000 full-time jobs, and 73,000 jobs overall, in March 2022. 

Canada’s unemployment rate is now 5.3% - the lowest it’s been since 1976, when this kind of data was first collected.

Six years in, one thing that’s still a challenge at work for me with my disability is video recordings.

I’m thankful we have the technology to make this process more accessible, but there’s still those moments we just have to make it work on the fly.

[Carla Qualtrough @CQualtro]

Canada gained 337,000 jobs in February, bringing our unemployment rate to 5.5% - the lowest since the start of the pandemic. Our plan is working, and we’re continuing to see one of the strongest economic recoveries on record.📈Some highlights⤵️

The international community will be watching closely to see if Northern Ireland’s politicians have the courage to put an end to the fighting now, before things devolve further, and before it becomes difficult to speak of the Troubles in the past tense. https://t.co/bYhKesOMDL

A rare but great instance of bipartisan action!!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The House voted to override President Trump’s veto of the annual military bill, in a rare bipartisan rebuke during the final days of his presidency. The Senate will take up the legislation later in the week, and it is expected to pass.

@ninian_j_wilson @BestMovieLine @CRFHaswell Hahahaha I just referenced this yesterday

[Alex Fernandes @AlexRFernandes_]

This comment by Trump is not only inaccurate, but incredibly repulsive.

This is the opposite of unity.

[NPR Politics @nprpolitics]

President Trump declined to praise the late Rep. John Lewis in an interview, claiming that he himself has done more for Black Americans than anyone else, and adding: "He didn't come to my inauguration. He didn't come to my State of the Union speeches." https://t.co/L4YwZKwUl9
