@KristinRaworth When I was 10 a man sauntered out of the bushes in a park with no pants on in front myself and my sister and headed straight for us, wang erect. He was arrested. I was a little traumatized.
I am not ok with this display on public streets with children present.
@NaturallyFTW Just fyi..my mom had many roadblocks when tested for her auto immune issues and lupus was an original diagnosis and it ended up being Scleroderma and fibromyalgia...many of the same symptoms as in your description.
From Valour in the presence of the enemyโs Facebook page:
We need to tell you what happened with the National Afghanistan Monument groundbreaking on May 4th. And we are going to tell it straight.
When we were preparing for April 15th, Veterans Affairs Canada reached out to us. They had an outreach problem. We had dozens of Afghan veterans descending on Ottawa from across the country to present the petition. VAC asked us to help bring those veterans to the groundbreaking ceremony. We agreed. We were told it would happen between our press conference and luncheon on April 15th at 11 am.
Two days before April 15th VAC cancelled. We scrambled to tell the veterans we had invited that it was rescheduled. We were told May 4th. We were told Valour in the Presence of the Enemy would be invited. People personally assured us that email was coming. The week before May 4th we were told directly โ "you will get that email, I made sure of it."
That email never came.
With only a weekโs notice VAC sent invitations to amputees and Silver Cross mothers. People who absolutely deserve to be there โ but who also deserved far more time to prepare, arrange travel, and make the trip to Ottawa than one weekโs notice allows. That is not how you honour the people who sacrificed the most. They needed more time and they did not get it.
And quietly, without explanation, we were removed from the list entirely. An organization led by the former Chief of the Defence Staff. A wounded veteran shot three times in Afghanistan. An original member of the advisory committee. Someone who chaired the Service Excellence Committee for over a decade.
They did not want us there. They did not want questions about Jess. They did not want questions about the Victoria Cross.
Look at the photos from that ceremony. Members of Parliament outnumber Afghan veterans five to one. It does not feel like a lot of elbows are up more like a selfie. Not a lot of the people who actually fought that war.
Here is what we will take solace in. Five provinces have passed unanimous motions. Two more are coming. 50,000 emails have been sent. The last government response to our petition was less than 200 words and did not mention Jess Larochelle by name.
We have to make sure that does not happen again.

May 30th. Send your emails. Every single one. ๐จ๐ฆ๐๏ธโณ
@TWilsonOttawa In order to simply visit the Afghanistan Memorial Hall that houses the Kandahar Cenotaph..you must fill out a request form. It's opening in 2019 was also a farce. My husband served &him & his brothers were barely informed. There was a private ceremony with a few officers.
@erinotoole@bruce_barrett@JeremyMacKenzi @BReasonablePls @ConcussionLF James stood up for his fellow Canadians and honored his uniform by doing so.
I lost my career, my family and friends because of divisive rhetoric about a shot that neither prevented transmission nor contraction.
I joined him because everyone else left me behind.
Shame on you.
A week after it became national news @TVUSD made girls declare they had a mental illness if they didn't want to undress in front of boys, students took it upon themselves to walk-out in protest.
"Nobody is doing anything about it, so I guess WE have to fight for it."
@RodAVanier If an intruder enters my home and I want to avoid rape..what force would be reasonable?
Asking for all the women.
I also live in rural Ontario where it would take awhile for police to respond.
Legit question.
@CreekfromCan@Armita69930Liz@joerogan It was found to be illegal though.
You should really adjust your opinion on that. We were so peaceful they had to inact the EA because they couldn't do anything else to get us out.
Bodily autonomy and informed consent is important.
$323 million to a vaccine factory that never produced a single vaccine & is now closed down.
$400 million Green Slush Fund, with 186 conflicts of interest found by the Auditor General.
$19 million to 2 guys for being ArriveScam middle men.
Now, another $130 million pissed away. When do struggling Canadians say enough is enough? ๐๐ผ
@Mikeggibbs If an intruder enters my house to rape me Mike, what shall I do? Just hold tight and wait 30 minutes for help because I'm in rural Ontario? Better believe I'm fighting for my life because my life is more important than my property. I'll go to jail gladly. I'm worth more.
@chrisdacey As an ECE I can tell you most containers that aren't reusable go in the trash cuz kids are rushed through lunch, have no time to rinse them out & if they end up going back home, parents get mad cuz they are forgotten about in smelly lunchbags & apparently that's a teachers fault.
@AndieWinnipeg Childcare workers, servers, grocery store employees..us plebes don't have the luxury of sitting in our Lululemons all day, taking a deuce on a whim and watching Netflix in between calls.
Grow up.
