Let’s be clear: vaccines do not cause autism. This false claim has been thoroughly disproven by decades of research. For some reason there are people who continue this lie, causing unfounded concern amongst parents who want to do the best for their children. @scienceupfirst.bsky.social

It was a privilege to meet with MEEST, a Canadian organization with (Ukrainian roots) over 30 years of experience. “Meest” means “bridge” in Ukrainian, and that’s exactly what they are: MEEST delivers tons of humanitarian aid, offers consistent support to Ukrainians.

Yesterday, I rose in the Senate chamber to highlight the urgent need to combat neglected tropical diseases—21 treatable illnesses affecting 1 in 8 of the world’s most vulnerable. Canada has shown leadership before, and now is the time to do even more.

Vyshyvanka is the shirt of freedom — a symbol of Ukraine’s dignity, resilience, and beauty. Yesterday, on #VyshyvankaDay, we wear it for those who can’t: under fire, in occupation, or on the front lines. We stand with them. We believe in Ukraine’s victory. #Ukraine

Canada’s democracy is under threat—from both Russian disinformation and a growing wave of Trump-aligned rhetoric echoing the Kremlin’s playbook. In our latest op-ed, Marcus Kolga and I explore how these converging narratives are designed to destabilize and divide. The time to act is now.

Canada can help Ukraine now by using frozen Russian assets in our banks to help Ukraine with the means to win this war as quickly as possible. There will not be peace in Ukraine nor peace in Europe if Russia is allowed to prevail.

This Easter, over 20,000 Ukrainian children are still missing.
They are not celebrating with their families. They are far from home, forcibly taken by Russia.
This is a tragedy no child should face. Their return is not a matter of politics — it is a moral and humanitarian imperative. #BringKidsBack
