A long pause means nothing.
Silence won't confront anti-Black racism, actions will.
I asked the Prime Minister if he would end the racial profiling of Black people in Canada.
He refused to answer.
That is his only moment of silence that we should be discussing today.
Lots of Canadians are told they have to change who they are to be successful. My message to all of you — be yourself & celebrate who you are. We all belong.
#BellLetsTalk about how you are NOT alone:
- 500,000 Canadians missed work this week for #mentalhealth reasons;
- 1 in 5 Canadians will face a mental health issue or illness this year;
- 3 million Canadians are living with #depression at this very moment.
