As a stage IV cancer survivor, I know what it's like to sit in a cancer ward next to people who are afraid of what comes next.
Our healthcare system should keep us healthy, not offer us euthanasia.
To anyone reading this who might be facing a similar crossroads, meet my son Josh.
Josh is 3 and has Down Syndrome, the very condition shared about here in this post. We received a prenatal diagnosis at roughly 10 weeks. Some of the complications we feared happened, but that wasn't the end of the story. Josh was born early and spent a month in the hospital. At 1 year old, he had open-heart surgery. Now he's 3, loves life, and is thriving. The hard days didn't win.
If anyone else finds themselves in a similar place, reach out. There's a whole community of people here to support you. It hasn't always been easy, but he's worth every bit of it and then some.
Very proud of our 6-year-old daughter Natalie, who has Trisomy 21, a.k.a. Down Syndrome. Is it sometimes tough raising a child with special needs? Of course, but the world is a kinder, gentler & happier place because of people like Nat. We love her! #NATitude
I am appalled by the murder of Charlie Kirk. There is no justification for political violence and every act of it threatens democracy.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones.
We must all strongly denounce the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Political violence is NEVER justified. The attacker must be brought to justice. And free speech must be upheld.
Pray for Mr. Kirk and his family.

On this day in 1965, Canada’s red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill.
Canadian war artist Alex Colville painted the haunting ‘Bodies in a Grave’ after the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Antisemitism is on the rise once again, so on Holocaust Memorial Day we must all remember where hate can lead if good people remain silent.
Great to see that my pro-innovation bill has reached the last stage in the Senate.
Canadians have waited a long time now for an update to our copyright laws so they can fully enjoy the benefits of interoperability.
Let's work to pass C-294 as soon as we can!
Rex once told me that despite hosting one of the flagship radio shows for 21 years, the head of CBC radio never once spoke to him, and when he retired his farewell gift was a $20 Starbucks gift card. He seemed baffled and amused, but mostly happy to have a great anecdote. RIP.
The @CBC handed Putin a big win last night, giving his Valdai Club event, his morally dysfunctional cheerleaders and his narratives uncritical top billing while underplaying the 50+ killed in Hroza in this report. Please: do better.
