@canredcrossnl @StJohnsRegatta Came across a little guy wearing an orange t-shirt outside the event (at the bus stop) who was separated from his friend’s mum. I walked him to a Metro Bus dispatcher who, after speaking to the little guy and said they would get him home safely. ♥️ Wish I had brought him to you.
A downtown resident came upon some officers doing proactive outreach in the neighbourhood this week and said, “thank you for making my child’s first interaction with uniformed officers so positive. She now knows who to ask for help if she needs.”
During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”
Yesterday, I received a special ask. That was from a Ukrainian for their country. I believe joy & hope have healing power. They keep you stay grounded in the toughest moments. With the traditional folk music of Punjab, today’s joy and hope dedication is for the people of Ukraine.
I received a box from Wheelock (Vermont, US). When I opened it, there was a handmade quilt & letter. The sender, Beth, wrote, “I’ve made you a quilt to celebrate your dedication to helping us find our inner joy ... during some very dark days.” Oh World, this means huge to me! 🙏🏽
Ottawa fights back. On behalf of downtown residents, businesses and workers, we are suing the Freedom Convoy organizers, truckers and donors for $306-million and counting. Each day is another $15M in personal harm and lost revenues and wages. Here is the Occupation Zone. /1
We blocked the convoy in our neighbourhood this morning at Riverside at Bank. We started with about 25 people with hundreds more who have joined in solidarity. We made sure residents could get through but kept the convoy here. #Ottawa#OttawaOccupied #Ottnews
Shepherds of Good Hope is so grateful to the more than 13,000 people who donated to us over the past 2 weeks. As a result of your generosity, we have raised approximately $750,000!
Grade 3 students in Whitehorse's Elijah Smith Elementary School braved -28°C temperature and danced Bhangra with me for joy, hope and positivity. We are sharing this pure joy with all school children across Canada and beyond.

BREAKING: 200+ Health workers from across Toronto stand UNITED in protecting access to healthcare for everyone.
Treatment not trucks! Health not honking! Vaccines not vitriol!
Health workers stand united. ✊🏾
Did anyone else see that huge #convoy of health care workers going down University today in #Toronto? It was crazy. They were going to work. In the hospitals. To help sick people. God bless them. #GetVaccinatedNow
Remember who got us through 2021. It wasn't the billionaires or corporations. It was the nurses, PSWs, lab technicians, bus drivers, farm workers, delivery workers, factory workers & many other essential workers at work even today.
Make 2022 about supporting essential workers.
Wayne Henderson is my friend in the Yukon. Every year during Christmas time, he dresses as Santa, decorates his truck with lights & tours City of Whitehorse. It was wonderful to get a ride with Waye, tour & dance Bhangra together. Merry Christmas!
