Three years ago, I had the honour of collaborating with Ukrainian dancers from Edmonton via a virtual meeting. They taught me some Ukrainian dance moves, and I taught them some Bhangra moves. I'm sharing the video today in solidarity because standing with the oppressed is standing for lasting peace.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Well Ottawa, it's snowing. A lot. If you're out and about today, please stay safe. Road & sidewalk conditions will certainly be affected by this storm. Be sure to check on family, friends & neighbours who may be isolated or vulnerable to the storm.

Figured we'd check in on you. Plus, we’ve all got someone we haven’t chatted with in a minute (you probably just thought of them while reading this), and it’s amazing how far a simple text or call can go. You should reach out to them. (1/2)
