Thank you @zeeinmilton who met with us to discuss the critical importance of drowning prevention for #Autistic children & youth who are 160x more at risk than their neurotypical peers. Neurodiverse- affirming #aquatic environments bring #water safety & #therapeutic benefits.

[Zee Hamid @zeeinmilton]

I love hearing from constituents who are eager to make a difference in our community. A warm thank you to Splash Aquatics Inc. for meeting with me to discuss Autism-related drowning prevention and provincial expansion of inclusive swim programming.

[Maria Garito @GaritoMaria]

@zeeinmilton Thank you for meeting with us & for taking the time to learn about Splash Aquatics' neurodiverse affirming and inclusive Aquatic programs. We believe all Autistic and neurodivergent individuals can learn to swim given the rightadapted environments and programs. Water is therapy!

I can't stop thinking about the brilliant creative potential that's bottled up, repressed in Iran. Set it free. #RevolutionIran2026

Enough is enough. It’s time to protect our children.

Peel Regional Police have laid charges following a two-year human trafficking investigation involving the alleged exploitation of girls as young as 11 years old in the Greater Toronto Area.

This is happening in our communities. Criminals are targeting vulnerable youth through coercion, manipulation, and threats of violence while criminals profit from their suffering.

Protecting our kids must be the top priority. We need real action to support law enforcement, stop predators, and hold those who exploit children fully accountable.

If non-citizens choose to violate the trust of Canadians by committing serious crimes, they must be locked up, and then be deported.

Neither should ever be disciplined or punished. Compassion always. #autism

Within one week, video showed 2 children with autism rescued alive after wandering and being found in water—because responding officers knew to search water first.

Fact: Children with autism face a drowning risk 160×'s higher than peers.

Training, awareness, & empathy matter.

They kidnapped civilians—toddlers, elders—from their homes, subjected them to starvation, torture, and rape, strangled sobbing toddlers to death with their bare hands, and now shamelessly refuse to return their remains to grieving families for a dignified burial.
Only Palestinians commit such heinous atrocities while masquerading as victims, as the world disgracefully celebrates their savagery.

This wrecked me.

Whoever these republicans are whose gross/disturbing/ racist/ antisemitic/ misogynistic text messages were revealed - get them out. There is no place, especially in leadership, for this garbage.

Congratulations to @POTUS @realDonaldTrump, @Netanyahu, @MohamedBinZayed, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and other regional leaders. Tomorrow is a new day thanks to your unwavering leadership.

May this bring a new era of peace, prosperity and long term stability for all in the Middle East.

Why are there no living female hostages?

[Amjad Taha أمجد طه @amjadt25]

It’s now confirmed: the filthy Muslim Brotherhood member Saleh Al Jafarawi was killed by Hamas terrorists..they wanted the $10 million he raised from useful idiots in London, Canada, Australia, and Paris.
He refused, so Hamas democratically killed him.When antisemitic Palestinian terrorists aren’t killing Jews, they kill each other.Murder is their culture.

Trump’s plan to free the hostages is right.The rest won’t work..because they understand only one language: power. Israel has every right to finish the job.

Avinatan Or.

Unrecognisable.

Doctors have said he’s lost 40% of his body weight.

His body has gone through so much trauma from starvation and torture over two years that he has changed in that no human should go through.

We love you Avinatan! You’ve got this brother. Welcome home and sending prayers of healing and love.

The living Israeli hostages held in Gaza have been freed under the first phase of Donald Trump's peace plan, alongside a Palestinian prisoner release. The deal may become a signature achievement of Trump's second term, and it could mark a strategic turning point for the Middle East https://t.co/pQx68wTv8V
