Life is poetic: Almost 50 years after leaving the U.K. stateless, expelled from her native Uganda, this week, my Mother-In-Law was sworn-in as Alberta's 19th Lieutenant Governor.

Canada: "A place where the realization of
unlikely stories occurs not by accident, but by design."

How @EveryonesCanada is reaffirming the value of pluralism, multiculturalism & immigration. Saw the @nenshi campaign overcome the forces working against this goal in '17. Tkx @zainvelji #MyCanada #cdnpoli #abpoli #onpoli @chimaincalgary @OpenDemocracyCA https://t.co/1OFkRw60e9

Thanks to @EveryonesCanada co-founder @zainvelji (along with @avnishnanda) for sharing insights about mobilizing through storytelling. When it comes to Canadian identity we all have a story to share. #cdnimm #multiculturalism

This IS my Canada. 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day - from an immigrant per 1963. And thanks to everyone who made it possible for me to contribute my tiny slice to my country.

[Zain Velji @zainvelji]

One day, our country will be beyond the conversations of “firsts”

But for today, #CanadaDay, we celebrate all the firsts that have made this country so special, including Salma Lakhani, our newest first.

The first Muslim LG in Canada.

Happy Canada Day, everyone!

[Everyone's Canada @EveryonesCanada]

Stay tuned.

[Everyone's Canada @EveryonesCanada]

Everyone’s Canada emerged around this time last year with this conception of Canadian identity, and concerns around race and belonging in our country. Over the past year, these issues have come to the foreground for many Canadians https://t.co/7aAzLl1qx7

[Everyone's Canada @EveryonesCanada]

To mark the transition in this conversation around race that we are having in Canada, and to affirm the direction and contours of where we want it to head, we are excited to announce a special project to help folks understand these through the eyes of those who live it.

To my country 🇨🇦,
This is my first Canada Day as a proud citizen, and to be a Canadian is the biggest honour of my life. Thank you for taking a chance on on me.
I am living the dream.
I belong.
I feel free.
& I feel home.
Happy #CanadaDay to my big warm-hearted Canadian family🇨🇦

[Zahra Premji الزهراء @Zahra_Premji]

Yep! THIS is my Canada. #HappyCanadaDay

[Everyone's Canada @EveryonesCanada]

Salma Lakhani, a South Asian, Ismaili Muslim woman who came to Canada as a stateless migrant, has been named the next Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, an appointment that reflects the promise of this country. #HappyCanadaDay

#ThisMatters: This was a personal one. A cathartic episode too, where @EVYSTADIUM and I (and Sean, our audio engineer/producer) talked about how quickly Chinese Canadians are seen as the “Other” in a moment of crisis like the pandemic https://t.co/MsIJfs3egh
