@children1stca Too many are having a Nightmare Before Christmas. We need action now to take care of our children, our future.

Kids in🇨🇦are in the middle of a health crisis. What kind of holiday will they and their families have? They need action from the federal and provincial governments NOW! When children thrive, Canada thrives. #thekidsarenotalright #childrenfirst #canpoli #tripledemic #paediatrics

Mali Nicholson was 41 years-old when she learned how to skate and play hockey. Now a breast cancer survivor, she's sharing her love for the game by teaching those in her community. #AsianHeritageMonth

Calgary has its first female mayor & women more than ever are making an impact in politics. Join me tomorrow at 1pm ET for WXN’s free virtual book club to discuss my book “In Good Hands” about remarkable women in politics:wxnetwork.com to register.

Delighted that White Pine Pictures has optioned my book "In Good Hands: Remarkable Female Politicians From Around the World Who Showed up, Spoke Out and Made Change" for a doc series.

💔 Nova Scotia. I see tweets asking if those of us in other parts of Canada are paying attention and care about you. We see you. We share your shock, feel your grief and send you strength. #OneCanada #NSStrong

Absolutely right pen@ottawa! Hard to believe this level of ignorance exists in a Canadian parliamentarian. Sloan's comments are despicable and I was glad to see the constituency he represents strongly and publicly condemn his remarks.

Leadership matters. Women leaders are putting to shame so-called "strong man" leaders. No light shines brighter than NZ's Jacinda Ardern. Had the privilege to interview her for my book about women's leadership just published: In Good Hands. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Women's leadership matters. Excellent article by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox of 20-First. #743d287b3dec" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">forbes.com/sites/avivahwi… Compare her list of male-led vs. female-led countries: which would you rather be led by?

World Suicide Prevention Day. Suicide affects 1 in 2 Cdns & almost 4k Cdns die by suicide/year in Cda = 10/day. Cda Suicide Prevention Service disabled almost 2500 suicide plans in last 18 mo. If you have suicide related concerns call 1 833 456 4566 or text 45645

Hats off to @CharlieAngusNDP for a GIGANTIC step forward in suicide prevention with all-party passage in Commons of his bill M-174 to create a national suicide prevention strategy 4 Cda. We’ll no longer be only G8 country without one. Bravo Charlie (& MPs for making it unanimous)

@movingthrutime Horrible news.

SO excited. Just heard the updated words to O Canada for the first time, sung at the Leafs Lightning game. Feels,so good to be part of "all of us".

At a time when talking about it was far more difficult, my mother Margaret was fearless in discussing her mental health struggles. Her strength has been an inspiration. RT this to help others find their voices or get support. #BellLetsTalk

We just passed the national anthem bill in the Senate. Thank You Frances Lankin- Thank You Chantel Petitclerc. “ in all of us command.” And Mauril Belanger , my dear friend , you can finally Rest In Peace. Oh Canada - we stand on guard for thee. Rights are rights.
