Today would have been Terry Fox’s 60th birthday. He’s a Canadian hero, but he was also a son, brother and friend.
At 18 he was a student. At 19 he was a cancer patient. At 21 he was a hero. Take a moment today to remember Terry.

- I am deeply concerned that a Conservative MP would make these comments about a woman who is working night and day to save lives. Dr Tam @CPHO_Canada deserves our heartfelt thanks - not this BS. I hope @AndrewScheer and his #CPC colleagues condemn these shameful remarks.
- Disappointed but not surprised to see the Conservatives reject a motion in the House this afternoon re-affirming one’s right to choose to have a safe and legal abortion. 1/2
- Terry Fox. Ran a marathon a day for 143 straight days - on one leg and an artificial leg not built for running - with cancer growing in his lungs.
- Since I first met @JustinTrudeau when I was considering running for office, I have always felt supported, valued and heard. He and his staff have been there anytime I want to have a conversation about any issue, big or small. I’m proud of the work we’re doing for all Canadians.
- .@GiveSendGo wants the KKK and Proud Boys to know they will host their fundraisers, as long as it is "legal". Hate has no place in Canada. GSG actively avoided questions about abiding by Canadian law. Companies like GSG need to be regulated ASAP.
00:00 - Strong words from @JustinTrudeau on a woman’s right to choose saying that debate is over. Contrast that with Erin O’Toole and #CPC #LIB2021
- The news out of Sault Ste Marie is devastating. 5 people slaughtered including 3 young children. To those in the gun lobby and the CPC who have consistently attacked me for saying there is a connection between intimate partner violence and firearms, what more proof do you need?
- I was a young Parliament Hill staffer when I met Pierre Trudeau in early 1980's. Now I'm an MP working with @JustinTrudeau #kindacool
- Today I got AstraZeneca vaccine at @ShopprsDrugMart in my riding. I’m confident it’s safe, effective and will protect me. I had no worries as it’s Health Canada approved. The only side effect is relief and pure joy! When it’s your turn, get whatever vaccine is available to you.
- Replying to @PamDamoffEarlier today, we learned Conservative MPs were told to stay silent on the deeply unsettling reports from the US Supreme Court. But this afternoon, their resounding “no” to protecting this right for women and people everywhere came through loud and clear. #Shame 2/2
- It’s been a week since Erin O’Toole became Leader of Conservatives and he remains silent on Derek Sloan’s views. Now Derek Sloan accuses me of being a terrorist sympathizer. @ErinOTooleMP we served together on the Public Safety Committee. Do you support these comments?
- Islamophobia persists in Canada, and Muslim women often live in fear. The recent removal of a teacher from her classroom in Quebec on the basis of wearing a hijab escalates Islamophobia. We must all speak out to support her. I urge you all to do the same.
