America has their Hulk Hogans.
Their Marvel comic "super heroes."
Their tech billionaire winners.
We had Terry Fox.
In our hearts we carry Terry's spirit.

Terry gave his life for cancer research.
He selflessly inspired generations of Canadians to see the world beyond ourselves.
The pain that he heroically endured, sacrificing his health for the greater good.
I can't think about Terry Fox without weeping.
I remember sitting in front of the tv every night wanting to see how far he got that day!
I was so young and when I look back at this incredible Canadian, I realise how lucky we are as a nation to have had Terry's influence.
A young man blowing through, all the terrains, climates and struggles/beauty that Canada offers. Just giving ‘er.
The quietness of it: even when he ended. No fanfare, just a collective quiet grief.
And without a doubt, Terry Fox is a hero!
We are strong, we all carry the strength of Terry Fox in our hearts, their heroes are in comic books
Boring. Our American audience expects more from prosthetics.
It's time to take our flag back from those traitors and the Conservatives who support them.

very creepy human!
The demonstrations drew both domestic & international support, including from members of the #CPC, Germany’s AfD, & US Republican politicians.

Turns out every other band we met on the road that summer had also stopped to pay their respects to the memory of Terry.

Yet, he's the first Canadian of significance I recall learning about a few years into life. I was still too young to even understand what cancer was, but I knew he ran for a cure.
It was the one historical monument I didn’t need to explain to my daughters.

This nose-thumbing between allies is so sad and childish. American heroes include Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, and the British Columbia-born pharmacologist Frances Oldham Kelsey, who helped block FDA approval of thalidomide in the US.
Rod Stewart wrote a song for Terry Fox on his Tonight I'm Yours album with a write up about Terry. Beautiful song.

To be fair.... #Wolverine & #Deadpool have 🇨🇦 origin stories 😉
In the realm of fiction we have Superman, Wolverine.
Signed a sad and disheartened US citizen.
Canadians have embraced his goal to raise money for cancer research every September. We have succeeded with the mission.
~800 million for cancer research to date and counting.
Instead we see how billionaires take away everything from the people.
Thankfully, mine was caught and treated early on.
One that comes to mind, especially in this crazy time, is Ken Taylor. That's what exceptional Canadians do for people in harm's way, even at personal peril.
Just sayin’! But keep up the great work! You are a great Canadian, too.
Strong as fuck. Together.

While you're here @charlieangus104.bsky.social can you tell us why @mp-bonitazarrillo.bsky.social is lobbying with Dan J Mader and Chris Froggatt at New Haven LLC, a private autism clinic owned by Mike Harris?
