Sad, sad, sad day when the freedoms and stability we have literally fought for are destroyed in a single meeting. Aligning ourselves with countries that we consider enemies is a disgrace and I’m disgusted and angry with those that put us here.

With all the money being found and the firing of hundreds of thousands of federal workers, why on earth is the new federal budget proposal increasing the debt by an additional $4 TRILLON? What hypocrisy! Something seems very off…Follow the money.

Praying for Ukraine. This 3 in."baba bell" (made by artisans in Edmonton - reminiscent of a Ukrainian grandmother) reminds me everyday of the pain, displacement and heartbreak experienced by families in Ukraine. For 3 years I've stood in strong support of Ukraine. I won't stop now.
