We’ve heard all we need to hear from Maxwell. She had her trial. She was proven guilty of sex trafficking children and perjury.
We don’t need to hear from her ever again. Time to hear from the victims and only the victims.

My father passed away a week ago. I’ve flown home to South Africa to take care of his affairs. After a brutal flight from Toronto there’s nothing quite like a Wimpy coffee and breakfast regmaker to put me back in my feet. 🤣 … It’s the small things

Trump’s Oval Office studio is like a TV show where he tries to one up other world leaders. Nobody else does this, it’s obscene and also pathetic.

In March 1994 I voted for Nelson Mandela. I believed it would be the most important vote of my lifetime. Now I live in Canada and today’s election feels as big, as consequential, as significant. Canada needs to get out and vote, this is NOT the time for apathy - it’s time to stand up. GO VOTE!
