Deeply honoured to be receiving an Honorary Doctor of Science from @SFU. Throughout these challenging times I have been inspired by the strength and resolve of young people across Canada. I look forward to addressing the 2021 graduating class.
Good(ish) morning to everyone except the guy (he's been blocked/reported) who felt the need to message me at 3 am to say what happened in London was 'collective karma for Muslim terrorists like you."
It's Tuesday.
We're in Canada.

My heart goes out to the family & the entire Muslim community in London.

215 Indigenous children found dead.
215 reasons to learn about residential schools.
215 reasons to reflect on Canada's blood stained colonial past.
215 reasons to face this country's role in genocide.
An infinite number of reasons why an entire country should be grieving.
