Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning! The hateful environment that she helped foster is no longer working for her. She tried to spin it as a principled move, ignoring the fact that people like AOC have been able to stand strong against the haters.

Our freedom was won by brave women and men who answered the call — including the heroic First Nations, Inuit, and Métis members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

On Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the sacrifice of those who have served, those who serve today, and their families.
