I made this for my own personal collection and hangs proudly in my own home. It is 12 postcards framed in this cute farmhouse window inspired frame. I don’t want to sell it but…I have to. Postcards are $35 each so I am asking $500 plus shipping
Mary Simon to be Canada's next governor general, the first Indigenous person appointed. Simon, who is from Nunavik in Northern Québec, is a former Canadian diplomat who served as Canada's Ambassador for Circumpolar Affairs. Early in her career, she was a CBC North broadcaster.
But the most extraordinay speech came from my @ISGSenate colleague, Mary Jane McCallum, a residential school survivor, who was taken from her family at the age of 5. This is very hard to hear. Which is why you should hear it. #215children#SenCa#cdnpoli@SenateofCanada
