Foreign dark money and interference in our sovereignty is something we need to call out.
There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason.

Somebody asked me if it's Black History Month in Canada right now, and yes, it is.
It's actually the 30th year of BHM being recognized nationally, all thanks to this woman: the Hon. Jean Augustine, the first Black woman elected to the House of Commons.

The snippets I’ve read of the tiny fraction of the #EpsteinFiles that have been released (while the U.S. DOJ illegally withholds the vast majority of them) are so horrifying, it’s hard to even process. And what we’re seeing is the sanitized version, which has been carefully filtered… 1/3

I am so genuinely devastated at the loss of Catherine O’Hara. I’ve been weepy all day. She was a legendary actress, comedian, and a Canadian national treasure, yes. But it feels like we’ve lost a family member… someone we grew up with, who shaped our sense of humour and brought great comfort 💔
