Canada, the US and 16 other nations have issued a joint statement calling on Hamas to immediately release all hostages from captivity in Gaza.

A long overdue but critical move by the international community to bring the hostages home.

#BringThemHomeNOW

Hope so, because Leslie Church would be an awesome MP for St. Paul’s! #cdnpoli

To all our Jewish friends and neighbours celebrating the beginning of Passover this evening, Chag Pesach Sameach!

Thrilled to lend a hand in the spring clean-up with Eritrean Canadian Community Center Toronto(ECCC) at Earlscourt Park & kickoff the outdoor soccer program for the season! Can't say enough about the incredible work this group does to support seniors, new Cdns and youth! 🇨🇦🌎⚽ #EarthDay2024

#Budget2024 💰 makes the largest investment in 20+ years for grad students & postdocs! It will support financial needs, boost mental well-being, allow focus on research, & promote diversity by easing barriers for underrepresented groups. 🎉💪🏽 #SOSBudget2024

Say what you will, the government doesn’t get enough credit for this trend line. Eliminating child poverty is something we should all agree on.

U15 Canada welcomes the significant new research funding outlined in Budget 2024 and thanks the government for their commitment to support researchers working to build a more prosperous, resilient and successful Canada.

These are important words by Canada and our G7 allies 👏🏼.

Iran and its proxies represent a threat to peace and a better future for the Middle East.

'...the government has staked out a clear and correct position: Housing is a national issue, and Ottawa must speak loudly for reform.' 💯 💪

Canada has a choice.

Do we want to talk about the housing crisis, or do we want to solve it?

As for where the federal government stands: It's time to build.

BIG NEWS: It's housing day!!! Read the plan... 🏠🏠🏠

To all our friends and neighbours across Canada's Muslim community celebrating the end of Ramadan, from our family to yours, wishing you a joyful, healthy and festive Eid.

Eid Mubarak! #EidAlFitr2024

This #InternationalDayofPink , we are wearing pink to celebrate the LGBTQ2+ community being seen, respected & embraced. Let's continue to challenge prejudice, and create a world where everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, is valued and treated equally.

My heart breaks at the sight of this, and for the kids who would see this at a park I visited this morning. Stop the hate. We live in a civil society that comes with obligations and responsibilities toward all our fellow citizens. This is cruel and also against the law.

Safety zones around places of worship, schools and community centres is an absolute priority. People need to be able to safely enter and leave these buildings without intimidation.

An important and timely investment in youth mental health. I hear about this all the time from teachers, parents and young people themselves. 👍

'Ottawa is setting up a $500−million fund to help community health organizations provide more mental health care to young people.'
