The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

Ya know as exhausting as June is as a teacher it sure is rewarding sitting back and seeing all the growth from a year of hard work. 🥳

You don’t improve things by destroying them, you improve them by improving them. We all want better health, but eliminating lifesaving chronic disease programs delivers the opposite.

If you’re looking for a just for fun activity for the May and June doldrums. Read Hats Are Not For Cats! Print a bunch of adorable cant pics and gather craft supplies. And ask your class to pick a cat and make it a hat. 🐈 🎩 Pure joy and lots of giggles. Idea taken from mrsmacskinders on insta.

While those around Trump cower and appease him, Prime Minister Carney responds like a Canadian: polite, funny, factual while cowering to no one.
Just like all Canadians, eh?
Trump is just another American who thinks because we’re polite that we’re pushovers. Instead, we are always #CanadaStrong

🔴 WOW... PM Mark Carney’s brilliant post-election BBC interview yesterday, demonstrates so clearly that the PM is more than ready to lead... 🎞️👌🏼
Not just resisting Trump.
Not just leading Canada.
But also leading the imminent ‘GLOBAL trade and diversification’ restructuring.
Exciting times! 🇨🇦 🚀 ✅

Canadians will vote tomorrow in the most emotional election since 1988. I have my own preference. But I note: no one doubts that the vote will be free and fair - or that the loser will peacefully accept the voters' decision. That may not sound much. It's more than others have.

The paper ballots. The cardboard ballot boxes. The poll workers who really just want to help make it possible for you to vote. The temp hires at Elections Canada who count things up. The media reminders to go vote before polls close.
It’s all great and too fragile.

Regardless of who wins, I hope that people can start to move past the toxic politics of the last few years. Conservatives have to start realizing that the "F' Everybody" signs and attitudes don't build credibility. #cdnpoli

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

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.
Marriott still has my business.
