Yesterday, I had the privilege to visit Perley Health here in Ottawa, to meet and chat with veterans. We discussed their service, and they shared with me their stories about their time in uniform. Thank you to all those remarkable trail blazers.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just announced that he will retire from politics if he loses in November. Retweet so all Americans see this and get a little extra motivation to vote for Kamala Harris in November.
