I encourage everyone to watch and share this powerful video about Darwyn Danesh, son of my dear friend and co-author Roshan Danesh. 🎥

Let’s make positive change for children everywhere. 🙏🏽🩷

[Dean Kalyan @deankalyan]

Heartfelt article @ the Tyee dot ca - about what Darwyn and his family had to endure, the recent ombudsperson’s report, & much needed meaningful and lasting changes so that no other children or families have to suffer the same failings of the system.

Thx @BCOmbudsperson for your report & Min. @Josie_Osborne for your stm.🙏🏽

I was blessed to know Darwyn—an incredibly sweet & special boy…who deserved better!

🙌🏾 to his family for carrying his legacy forward w/ your advocacy for better pediatric palliative care coordination.🩷

[Dean Kalyan @deankalyan]

@Josie_Osborne Thank you. I agree wholeheartedly.

[Josie Osborne 🇨🇦 @Josie_Osborne]

Today's Ombudsperson report makes clear that the system failed Darwyn and his family. We acknowledge government's role in those failures and the harm caused. Darwyn's legacy must be a stronger, more responsive system that better serves people.

Happy to share some thoughts in @TorontoStar on the necessity of including Indigenous peoples in building one Canadian economy. https://t.co/wTTRKNkDGg

You don’t make good law by breaking the law—Bill 15 violates s. 3 of DRIPA.

You don’t drive ec growth by setting the stage for conflict in the courts & on the ground.

First Nations, industry, & all British Columbians will be the victims of the govt’s pursuit of this bad law.

Happy to share some reflections on Canada’s approach to our relationship with the US in the @TorontoStar this morning. https://t.co/YCbHCp1HlZ.
