- I am fighting back tears knowing how many Black people have died in the United States for doing far less than this. #WashingtonDC
- Everyone knows that I struggle with depression & anxiety, but this past year I have thought about suicide more than I ever have. Today was horrible. Tonight was worse. If anyone is feeling like I am right now, send a hug to me and I will send one to you. Tomorrow will be better.
- So tired of being attacked as a racist b/c I question racism or speak up against it. The label that does not belong to me. I will not sit & let others say what they wish, because they feel they can get away with it, or others are too cowardice to object. I will speak up #NotToday
- On #ParliamentHill today & wore black so my MP pin would be visible. Security asked What is that? as if pins have changed & Where did I get it? as if I stole it & escorted me through security. Another former MP entered after & walked right in. I see nothing has changed #cdnpoli
- ❤️ When you add women, please do not expect the status quo. Expect us to make correct decisions, stand for what is right and exit when values are compromised. Thank you @janephilpott for articulating this beautifully. +1It grieves me to resign from a portfolio where I was at work to deliver an important mandate. I must abide by my core values, my ethical responsibilities, constitutional obligations. There can be a cost to acting on one’s principles, but there is a bigger cost to abandoning them.
- If you are shocked about 215 or 751, brace yourself, this is just the beginning. #cdnpoli
- Today my 11 year old son was called n-gger at school. As a parent you wish you can protect your children forever, but it is inevitable that it will happen. In response to the word, Johnny, who is a gifted student, asked the child to apologize for saying this to him.
- “I believe real leadership is about listening, learning & compassion...central to my leadership is fostering an environment where my Ministers, caucus & staff feel comfortable coming to me when they have concerns” I did come to you recently. Twice. Remember your reactions?
- When will the Gov’t of 🇨🇦 speak out against the violence in #Nigeria? When will they condemn the Special Anti robbery squad? When will they say #EndSARs? #SarsAlert #endsarsnow #EndBadGoveranceInNigeria #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigera #EndSWAT #EndSAR @AishaYesufu @EndSARSProtest
00:00 - My depression has been really bad & hearing about a suicide made me want to post. I am taking my meds, meditating & eating @LaysCanada. It is ok to not feel ok and ok to say depression is kicking my ass. My hope is that someone reading his knows that they are not alone💕
- 1) There is never a wrong time to do the right thing. 2) Party should never come before principles/ethics 3) True leaders put their own pride aside to do what is right 4) Yes, I am still proud✊🏾
- "I have heard individuals say that I might be a one-term MP because I continue to speak up about issues, and I accept that. I accept that because #MyFeminism requires me to be bold... It requires me to smash and challenge the status quo. " #IWD2018 @Women_Canada @Empire_Club
