During my🎙interview with @mattgallowaycbc on @CBCRadioCanada @TheCurrentCBC, I talked about the @OrderofCanada and @VancityReynolds, my profound hearing loss, and how @MichelleObama inspired me. 🎉 Listen at bit.ly/40pXRmD and read more at bit.ly/3Px4H3D!

In this 1933 ad, my late grandfather Alf Dawson, owner of the Kenilworth Coal and Coke Co. in Hamilton, encouraged Canadian economic patriotism: "When you buy Alberta Coal, 100% of your money stays in Canada. When you buy Alberta Coal you make more work for Canadians." #cdnpoli

Today marks two years since we lost the Honourable David Onley, a remarkable leader, mentor, and friend who transformed countless lives through his unwavering advocacy for disability rights and accessibility. Read my tribute at bit.ly/4hhxGnF
