Tonight is a historic night for Manitobans and every Canadian. A huge congratulations to @WabKinew. The first First Nations Premier elected in Canada. You've inspired generations of Indigenous youth to come. With the Manitoba NDP, the future is looking brighter. 🧡

“Mayor Chow just ran on a platform to save Ontario Place. Mr. Ford is politically weak. It’s time for a standoff. The city has political leverage if its planners and politicians have the guts to stand up and claim it. Planners: Just say no” #topoli #onpoli theglobeandmail.com/arts/art-and-a…

As Canada's fires burn I hugged one of 850 trees Ford will cut down @ONPlace4All to build spa and 5-storey underground P for yikes more cars Why not revitalize our green and beautiful public place @CBCNews @MayorOliviaChow @viraniarif @BhutilaKarpoche
