“Our Treaty is not red tape. Our children’s future is not red tape.” Testimony from @gcfiddler torches Ford’s push to fast-track development at the expense of Indigenous rights.
Bill 5 isn’t just flawed—it’s an assault on Treaty obligations, on justice, on the future.

On my last night as MP, I thank Jack Layton for inspiring me to run for public office.
Jack made me believe it was possible to do politics with integrity. He loved our country and he loved people.
He said politics was about getting your hands dirty and taking chances to make life better for people
