So if you follow me on this app just know I am going to be the same vocal advocate I’ve been on X.

There’s so much work to do on GBV and workplace violence issues in this province.

I would like to see @mark-carney.bsky.social and @seanfraser.bsky.social and all politicians in every province to see that NDAs are being used and abused to silence victims of sexualized violence and it needs to end.

Pass legislation in 2026. #canpoli

In this week’s Substack I write about how the most recent scandal with Pier 21 included an NDA.

Today is my 10 year anniversary. After all that has transpired I decided to treat myself to another ring from Locusart.

The ring is earthen, forged in sand from Rustico in PEI, where his family is from, and my favourite place to be.

Like me, the ring is weathered, but still shining. ❤️

I’ve been asked to speak publicly on peace.

I am not sure if that’s a joke or not

No one has ever called me peaceful.

Especially my husband. 😂
