Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Sounds good.

And they did it!!!

I’m just a far away Canadian but I’ve seen this person showcased on some talk shows and was confused. His character flaws on full display yet people lauding him. On political views no less 🙄. If this impressive woman has put him in his place I say brava 👏

South Korea: #NoKings! Thousands of people came to show support to the US democracy!
