I don’t post on social much anymore, and the replies to the CTV post above are a pretty good indication why. What was once a forum that felt like “the commons” has transformed into an amplification service for those who scream from rooftops.

Very happy to see this. Getting LAVs and other military equipment to the armed forces of Ukraine is among my proudest accomplishments from my time in government. This equipment saves Ukrainian lives and makes a tangible difference on the battlefield.

Our team is mourning the loss of one of our own today. Jaspreet Pandher spent several years on the team, serving Canadians and dedicating himself to building a better country. He worked hard, spoke thoughtfully, and always knew exactly how to make people laugh.

Hello. Young kids back in school are so sick right now. Everyone with a preschooler has an entire household of sleepless viral cough snot fevers for the past two months without a fucking break. So if you know a parent going through this, be kind and gently hit them with your car.

Sitting at the @LPCBC convention right now. As a young South Asian woman, it is so inspiring to see @AnitaAnandMP speak. It is inspiring to see someone that looks like me in a position that seems unattainable.

Thank you @AnitaAnandMP for being inspiring and for your service.

End of an era….an incredible 19 years of service to the people of Canada. Thanks for being the best Senator, friend, mentor, father, and grandfather in the whole world. We love you so much. What a ride! #jobdone

.@SecDef: Canada stepped up with an important announcement on armored vehicles and other vital capabilities for Ukraine. Madam Minister, that's just what we've come to expect from Canada, and from your own leadership and sense of moral purpose.

[Department of War 🇺🇸 @DeptofWar]

.@PentagonPresSec: Tomorrow, @SecDef will welcome his Canadian counterpart, Defence Minister of National Defense @AnitaAnandMP here at the Pentagon.

As HMCS Halifax sets sail for a six-month deployment, let’s remember that our sailors are also moms, dads, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, and loved ones to family and friends.

I join the ship’s company in sincerely thanking military families for their love and support. 🇨🇦
