In India, women are fighting against a ban on wearing hijabs. In Iran, women are protesting the forced wearing of that very same hijab. And here in the US, well we know what Republicans are doing to women. The fight for women's right is universal.

The events at our kids’ Chelsea school have taught me that the effects of an unjust law could one day arrive in your own backyard. Our Chelsea community has shown its strength in supporting Ms. Fatemeh & I am proud to belong to a community that stands up for what is right #bill21

Anti-black racism does not stop at the border.

I have heard from people who have said that we should not worry about what is happening in the US because that is not our problem.

As a Black man & a father of 3 young boys, I can tell you it is a lived reality for Black Canadians.

Nova Scotia was my first Canadian home. Some of my fondest memories are tied to the warmth and welcoming spirit of Nova Scotians. Today, I am beyond heartbroken. My heart and my thoughts are with the family of Const. Heidi Stevenson and the families of all the victims.

‘Parasite’ is an example of what beautiful storytelling, and mesmerizing cinematography and production design can bring to the screen. We need more diverse stories to be shared and celebrated. Congrats ‘Parasite’ on a very well deserved win.
