I am very impressed with @FYidoctors plan for supporting Canadians impacted by wildfires. They are offering free replacement glasses for any lost or damaged during evacuation as well as providing recommendations on how to protect your eyes when air quality is of low quality.

@leafguy403 Way to be a dad Kurtis! Both being with your son when he needs you and still finding room to chirp him. Every Canadian gets it 100%.

Structural racism in Canada must be acknowledged. If we ignore it, pretend it doesn’t exist, and take no action, it will not go away @BrothersDuane @ind_strategy

Attending an anti-racism engagement session in Brandon, Manitoba facilitated by @ind_strategy. Listening to their executive director Rebecca Chartrand and her colleague @BrothersDuane frame the conversation in a Manitoba context.
