Was just interviewing someone at an overdose prevention site in Vancouver's DTES. Someone sitting near us overheard, joined in the convo. When I was done with the interview, spoke with second man.
Right to Learn Afghanistan is grateful for the opportunity to engage in direct dialogue with @CanadaAFG_SR, David Sproule, and with UN @SR_Afghanistan, Richard Bennett, over the past week.
Independent Special Interlocutor Kim Murray is now delivering her final report, but first, she placed the report in the empty chair that has been present at all national gatherings. That chair represents all lost children who never made it home from Indian Residential Schools. 1
🚨WATCH: "Mr. Speaker, one of the most fundamental responsibilities of any Canadian Prime Minister is the safety of Canadians. Unfortunately the Leader of the Opposition has failed at his responsibility to keep his own MPs safe from foreign interference. So I have asked the security services to figure out a way to give some information to the Leader of the Opposition so that he can actually fulfill his responsibility of protecting Canadians, including those within his own caucus. It would be easier if he got his security clearance, but I've asked them to give him some information none-the-less." - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Murray has always walked into dark places with a flashlight so the rest of us can safely follow. A beam of light that cuts through injustice and shows the way to hope. Sending prayers and gratitude to him and his family who continue to be so generous in sharing him with all of us🧡

I NEEDED a hysterectomy and was told I wouldn’t survive pregnancy.
“Informed consent” for surgery looked like this:
“Don’t you want to be a Mom?”
“You may want BIOLOGICAL children”

The more Pierre Poilievre and the entire CPC front bench talk about “reasons” that he should not get security clearance, the more it becomes clear that there is only one reason he will not apply: he is afraid of being rejected.
Michael Chong CPC is NOT ignorant of how security clearance information gathered is handled
He's running interference for his leader,Pierre Poilievre who refuses to be vetted
The ONLY party leader to do so
He's trying to justify the unjustifiable

Exactly ONE YEAR ago I signed an MOU with the Minister @AdrianaLaGrange to expeditiously work on the new FM funding model.
I looked her in the eye and said we have to get this done expeditiously.

They show up every damn day for our kids and their future - so as an Albertan, I hope this provides some perspective on why we need to show up for their futures.
Alberta educational professionals being managed and structured into poverty should be a wake up for us all.
