As we celebrate Mother's Day, let us take a moment to recognize and express our deepest appreciation to all the extraordinary mothers who selflessly give up their own comfort and well-being to nurture and provide for their children.
Kudos to #Canada for taking a bold and necessary step in expelling #Chinese diplomat #ZhaoWei over spying & political interference. This action shows Canada's unwavering commitment to defending its sovereignty, freedom and democracy.

I've watched this so many times.
I see my 6-yr-old in these sweet children. He's attached to my side, even at this age.
I see how excited the 2 little girls sitting on the bed get when asked if they have a msg for their parents.
Parents they "rarely" see... 💔
@ZelenskyyUa Horrifying graphics but these are actual human beings. So our sense of comfort has no place here. World needs to see the atrocity happening there and hopefully it can be stopped soon enough.
#China's new attack on #Tibet - stealing Tibetan DNA - is being supported by US company @ThermoFisher with the supply of DNA kits.

CCP may have developed Tibet, but Tibetans only benefit marginally. According to China's own stats, Tibet's per capita income falls below all other provinces. Also, this is no excuse for colonial occupation

3.5) Yet the truth still gets exposed. Here's a film by Dhondup Wangchen in which he travels around Tibet during the 2008 Olympics and asks people how they feel about the Dalai Lama & China. They all risked their lives for this film. He was soon arrested

3.4) You don't have to look too far back to see the Tibetans' unhappiness with the CCP. Here's a video from 2008 of monks rising their lives to tell foreign journalists how the CCP has really been treating them. Since then, China has tightened control
