So proud of @CCUFSA leadership on making plant-based the theme of this year’s competition. Especially Chefs Dave McEwen of @UWindsor & Gordon Cooledge of @McMasterU for making this possible 🎉
We were thrilled to have a press conference with the government today. We celebrated the passage of #BillC68, which bans the import & export of shark fins! 🦈 The tides are turning for shark protection. See details here: https://t.co/qJ9q4Layjr
Early efforts to modernize our animal protection laws through Bill C-246 have made a real difference, and helped lead to government action.
I will continue stand up for animals as long as I'm in Ottawa.

Thank you to Gov’t Representative @SenHarder for his help in passing our whale captivity bill. Peter was an unsung hero - his amendments to Bill C-68 saved #S203 from further obstruction, paving the way for a final vote. Thank you also to Minister @JonathanWNV#cdnpoli#senca
Whales and dolphins don’t belong in tanks. Thanks to the the sponsors of this bill and the Cdn gov for showing strong leadership in responding to public will and sound science on this critical issue. 🐬 @livekindlyjill @livekindlylaura https://t.co/dAIyJmDXsx
HISTORIC! Yesterday, Canada passed the ‘FREE WILLY’ Bill and banned the cruel captivity of whales, dolphins, and porpoises.🐬 Major thanks to Parliamentarians @ElizabethMay@SenWillyMoore@SenSincmurr & all our coalition partners! 🙌
BREAKING! The Cdn gov’t has introduced amendments to the Fisheries Act, through Bill C-68, which would include BOTH a shark fin import and export prohibition, and a ban on the captivity of whales and dolphins. This could be a GAME CHANGER! 🦈🐋 Thx @liberal_party!
We need to pass Bill #S203 unamended ASAP.
The premise is simple - keeping whales and dolphins in captivity is cruel because of their intelligence, emotions, sociability and roaming lifestyles.
Children understand this, it is time politicians did the same. #cndpoli
