It is Asian Heritage Month and throughout this month I am sharing the stories of Asian-Canadians from Canadian history.
Today, it is the story of William Gun Chong, a decorated Second World War hero and spy who saved hundreds of lives.
This is his story!

"While AB may have been created in 1905, it rests on the treaties that First Nations entered into with the Crown well before the province came to be.
A provincial referendum has no bearing on the treaties & would therefore be illegitimate and non-binding, regardless of the result."

“Alberta has no apparent right to secede. A supposedly “independent” Alberta would be an unlawful occupation of land that was only shared with the Crown, not the people who came to settle the province.”

With 55 new cases and 3 children in the ICU over the weekend, I called for an emergency debate on measles. The UCP government refused to debate this pressing public health crisis.

There’s a measles outbreak. Kids are getting sick—and it’s completely preventable.
But the UCP is silencing health experts and letting ideology guide public health.
They won’t say it, so we will:
Get your kids vaccinated. It could save their lives. #abhealth

Let's be clear, Danielle Smith is more than happy to placate Trump during the worst economic crisis facing our country than she is willing to work with Canadians.

It's not just Trump who has decimated your standing in the world, America. You have an entire political party going along with it, and the other doing nothing to stop it. You have media normalizing it, institutions obeying in advance, and a tiny fraction of the people fighting.

~Having a common enemy does not make Jason Kenney our friend.
He's the same POS he was when he was Premier of AB.
Rumour has it he could be up to replace Poilievre.
Kenney now seems mild in comparison to Smith. That doesn't make him PM material.
