🇨🇦🇸🇴 Today, I introduced a private member’s bill that would declare July of every year in Canada as Somali Heritage Month!
I’d like to thank MP @HonAhmedHussen for co-sponsoring this bill with me and for his counsel.
I hope that all MPs will support this legislation.
Canada is home to many Canadians of Somali heritage.
Canadians of Somali descent have left and continue to leave a historic mark on Canada, with contributions that span communities across the country and are reflected in Canada’s economic, political, social and cultural life.
If passed, Somali heritage month would give us an opportunity to celebrate that heritage, the role that Canada has played in supporting Somali Canadians and their contributions to Canada.

Nick Herbig on if he wants to be a starter: "I wouldn't call myself not a starter. I would just say I'm a team guy. If you need me to play off the ball, on the ball, to run down on punt ... I'm a Steeler. There's no starters and backups, I'm a Steeler." -- From Chris Halicke in Pittsburgh
Tony not blowing up the car after seeing the woman and kids inside is the moment you realise there was still something human left in him.
By that point, Tony had become consumed by power and violence. He’d crossed so many lines that you almost expect him to go through with it. But seeing the children in the backseat, he can’t do it.
What makes the scene hit so hard is that Tony isn’t backing out from fear. He just can’t murder innocent kids for business. In his world, killing rivals was one thing; killing a family in broad daylight was another.
That choice costs him everything. Refusing Sosa’s order puts the target on his back. Tony was a violent, deeply flawed man, but this moment shows he still had a line he wouldn’t cross.
Ironically, the last real piece of humanity he had left is what got him killed.
