Visited an old Afghan village this week where, thanks to UNICEF & partners, I met strong girls who are loving their lessons in their community based school. This wee one was no exception! ForEveryGirl, an education 💙

I had the great pleasure of speaking with Dr. Murabit in preparation for the event and I can say confidently you don't want to miss her speak!!

What would a global vaccine plan look like ? Waiving patents, enabling agreements with manufacturers around the world, sharing skills, building up capacity for distribution, improving health care systems, and overcoming vaccine resistance and anti-vax propaganda.#Vaccinate

I had a great convo with Steve Paikin of TVO Today | The Agenda on vaccine equity, how C-19 has brought our members closer together & what you can do this #GivingTuesday. Featuring David Morley, @Rachel_LogelCar, and Michael Messenger, watch the interview this evening: tvo.org/theagenda

Thank you @SenHarder for raising this critical issue in the 🇨🇦Senate. I could not agree more that there is a need to double down & get very serious about timely and effective distribution of vaccines to every person on the planet, not just the wealthy #VaccineEquity

The next #Covid19 variant is preventable if Canada commits to sharing vaccines, resources and knowledge with low income nations where only 5% of people have received a first vaccine. #EndThePandemic #VaccineEquity x.com/i/status/14841…

Agree with Elder Shirley Williams “the land is telling us something & all the answers can be found in the land” Thanks team CanWaCH Equal Futures Network for an excellent United Nations CSW event: Towards Climate Response- tackling environmental racism.

When our neighbours' house is on fire... ... we help! It is the right thing to do, but it also just makes sense. Watch out for that telephone pole! #Budget2022 #EndThePandemic

Nous avons eu l’honneur de nous joindre au ministre de la Sécurité publique, Hon. Marco Mendicino, lors d’une table ronde sur la violence sexuelle et fondée sur le genre, son augmentation pendant la pandémie et ses impacts sur les femmes et les communautés racisées et 2SLGBTQ+.

Well put by co-panelist @Dr_Ephram - when it comes to health gains through global immunization efforts ‘It is easy to lose ground but very difficult to recover it’ Canada must maintain global health commitments alongside efforts to address C-19. We must do all the things.

Agree 100% @Dr_Ephram The next breakthrough in immunizing the worlds most marginalized will be addressing the gender dynamics that play out in households. We need to design health systems & programs with a clear understanding gender, power and communities.

ICYMI 👇congrats to those who moved this forward. Recently - I heard the heartbreaking stories of those touched by gun & intimate p. violence, they were proud of this work, I’m celebrating with them. Their tireless efforts + team of committed folks like Julie Savard-Shaw (She/Her/Elle) = PROGRESS

Fantastic conversation on #ForeignPolicybyCanadians back home in #Alberta. Loved the energy, the space and just being home! Will be sure to share the many insights from the crowd with my AB MP friends ⁦Mike Lake⁩ & ⁦Heather McPherson⁩ Also - I ❤️ this province!

Decisions in the US tend to have an impact on Canadian and global political dialogue and decision-making. So, what does today's decision mean for abortion rights in Canada and other regions of the world? 🧵
