Don’t count the signs.
Count the families behind them.
Because this has never been about signs.
It’s always been about people

A chair. A few signs. A hot summer day. That’s what today looks like for us. We aren’t here because we enjoy protesting. We’re here because we still believe someone will stop, look and understand why TS2023 families are asking to stay.
L’espoir est toujours la❤️🇨🇦

Look at their hats. Look at their shirts. These TS2023 kids chose to wear CANADA while asking Canada to let them stay.
They survived the earthquake at 5, 6, 8 years old. They grew up here. Their permits expire, their childhood shouldn’t. @EvanLSolomon#ExtendTS2023
If you drove by, you’d probably think we’re just friends enjoying a summer afternoon.
What you can’t see is that every conversation somehow ends with the same question
“What happens to us next?”
🇨🇦 #ExtendTS2023
Nobody told them today was a protest.
To them, it was another afternoon with a book.
Maybe that’s what makes this photo so hard to forget.
Children shouldn’t have to grow up around uncertainty
#ExtendTS2023
Before you see a protest..
Look again.
You’ll see a mom.
A baby.
A child.
A family asking for a future.
Because behind every policy, there’s a family waiting for an answer

@MarkJCarney Wishing everyone a wonderful Canada Day! 🇨🇦 We love this land so much. As #TS2023 team members, we’re thrilled to be part of building Canada’s bright tomorrow. ❤️🍁 #ExtendTS2023
A little more time should not be too much to ask from families who have already spent years working, studying, raising children, and contributing here.
TS2023 is not only about status.
It is about the lives already being built in Canada.
#ExtendTS2023
@MarkJCarney@MarcMillerVM If inclusion is real, it reaches the people whose futures are uncertain right now. TS2023 earthquake survivors followed every rule and contributed. We ask for an extension and a fair path — dignity, not fear.
#ExtendTS2023
Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦❤️ Thank you for giving us the opportunity to rebuild our lives. We are proud to contribute to this country we now call home. All we ask for is a fair extension to continue building our future here. #ExtendTS2023
Derin and her son aren’t standing alone. TS2023 families are outside constituency offices across the GTA, peacefully, every day, until we’re heard. @EvanLSolomon, we’d welcome even ten minutes of your time. #ExtendTS2023

These are not just professions.
They are the people helping build Canada's future, already here, already contributing.
They deserve the opportunity to keep doing so.
#ExtendTS2023
Looks peaceful from the outside, which in deed it is...
BUT behind every smile is uncertainty.
TS2023 families are not asking for sympathy. They are asking for a clear answer about the future they have already started building here.

This is Ahmet. He came to Minister Evan Solomon’s office today holding one sign: “We are people, not statistics.”
One boy, one ask, a future for his family and every TS2023 family.
We are all proud of you, Ahmet. 🤍 #ExtendTS2023
An electrical engineer. A mechanical engineer. A computer engineer. Three generations of one community.
They didn’t take time off work to rest. They took it to be heard.
TS2023 families build this country, we’re only asking to stay and keep building it. #ExtendTS2023 🇨🇦
