Chantelle Krupka and her family are in need of support. They are struggling to adapt to life with her new disability and limitations after being shot by the police. It will be years before they receive what is owed to them from the police. (1/2)

Selway explained his own reasons for being at the rally, and called on all Canadians to stand up and affirm that meaningful #reconciliation requires more than just token acknowledgements. It means addressing the theft of land and destruction of Indigenous culture. #HamonOnt (2/2)
