And if we DON’T want this bitter hate-mongering xenophobia to define us? We’d better all speak up. I am proud to represent Albertans and the Alberta I love in the Senate of Canada, as an independent nonpartisan Senator. This is not a partisan issue. This is about who we are - and who we want to be.

Alberta needs immigrants - their drive, their entrepreneurial spirit, their artistic and creative talent, their hard work, their skills, their investment capital. And we’ve been proud to welcome refugees - from Ukraine and Eritrea, South Sudan and Myanmar and Syria. This hateful racism is not us.
