Yesterday I joined friends and colleagues at confederation park for the trans day of visibility. We must fight to ensure that trans people have access to all of the essential healthcare they need and stand up for our neighbours facing discrimination.
Trans rights are human rights.
Canada’s second winter doesn’t stop us!
We’re out on the doors everyday talking to neighbours, and if door knocking isn’t your thing, we have volunteer shifts for sign delivery and phone banking too!

This ceasefire happened because for the last 15 months, people all over the world have demanded peace with justice.
The next steps — when we end all forms of genocidal violence — will happen for the same reason. #cdnpoli

Yesterday I asked the government to support my motion to tackle gridlock, get buses back on the road, and fund the transit you deserve - they said no.
Conservatives would rather see you stuck in traffic, or waiting 40 minutes for your bus. Shame. #onpoli
