Kevin O’Leary is a traitorous liar. He did NOT deserve to be heard on Cross Country Checkup on the #CBC today. Canadian sovereignty is NOT up for debate. It would mean war. This was an upsetting show from our national broadcaster. #FightFascism #DefendDemocracy #CanadianSovereignty #CDNpoli

Amid the chaos and uncertainty, all of us need to hold on to the things that give us joy. Films fuel me, giving me time to pause and think, while also providing me new ways of looking at the world. I especially need that right now. Here are my favourite first watches of January. #film #filmsky
