Today Canada elected the first-ever Black Speaker in the House of Commons, and a First Nations Premier for the Province of Manitoba.
Representation matters.
Today is a good day for democracy.
👏🏽🇨🇦
Thanks to the D13 & D12 candidates who spoke at my kids’ school. My 6th grader proudly cast his vote today for the voice that resonated the most with him in the school’s election (and I did too, but for real) @karlabernardD12@RobLantz@MichNeill@PEILiberalParty Sandra Sunil
My mind is made up! Not the direction I thought I was going to go in, but I contacted my local candidates with a pressing concern of mine and the responses & lack thereof have sealed the deal for me #peipoli
On Thursday, November, 3, we will be hosting a Charlottetown Mayoral Candidates debate from 7:30-8:45PM at Holland College's Florence Simmons Performance Hall.

For those who weren't watching the council feed:
10-0 vote to rescind the motion to defer from 2 days ago.
10-0 vote to allow the permit for the temporary homeless shelter to go ahead for one year. #peipoli
Let’s really think about this line from this 👇 story about seniors left for ~2 weeks w/out power post-#Fiona
“… ultimately the company [Maritime Electric] has the freedom to decide where its resources would be best applied in restoring power.” cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-ed…
Islanders need answers action. That’s why invoking the powers of the Commission under the Electric Power Act would be most efficient.
A public inquiry can be long and costly, use those funds to give Islanders direct financial support and timely answers

I want to start a thread highlighting businesses who stepped up to love and support our community since #HurricaneFiona I will start with a few for now and everyone pile on! 1/
PEI COMMUNITIES!
The folks at @ChtownMutualAid deserve a shout-out at the least and donations or assistance at the most, after feeling Fiona’s effects.
Many thanks for looking out for the people of Prince Edward Island.
