Thank you Zina, I'm so done with all this frustration. @AirCanada won't even bother to reply to me. Been at the airport since we arrived at 5 pm with no response. Very upsetting

Hi Louise, start emailing the executives at @AirCanada to get some action. Try Craig.landry@aircanada.com and Michael.rousseau@aircanada.com. Air Canada will be responsible for the cost of anything you need to get while you’re waiting if there is a way to get the items you need.

@AirCanada @CQualtro @JudySgroMP @SCI_Ontario I am beyond upset! I need my medical bag which hasn't arrived in Vancouver & I can't do without it. Not getting anywhere with AC. This is neglect & stripping me of my independence! #media

Thank you @CBC @KirstyDuncanMP for bringing this ongoing issue to light. Many athletes suffer in silence as you have had to endure all those years. Along with community determination, representation, your leadership & strong voice will create change.
Sport was life in my family, and I loved gymnastics because it allowed me to fly. But it left scars. Until now, I have never told my story, but if it helps even one child or young person, it’s worth it. We need a national public inquiry into sport. cbc.ca/news/politics/kirsty-…

My heartfelt condolences to the Hon. David Onley family. David led by example & inspired many that got to know him. He was a remarkable, kind man. 🙏May we pay tribute by honouring & implementing his hard work on the 2019 AODA Act. #davidonley #onpoli

It’s a tremendous honour for me to receive the Special Medal of Diplomacy from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan Mr. Wu. I appreciate being recognized for all the work that we’ve done together & I look forward to continue our friendship for many years to come. #Taiwan

Have been conversing with @AirCanada since we landed in Vancouver (9 & 1/2 hrs) where is my luggage with my necessary supplies. They just signed off with no answer! Horrible experience, they just don't care! NEED to take serious action! @CQualtro @JudySgroMP

We shouldn’t need to have signs posted reminding us to be kind and respectful to the staff at hospitals, restaurants, coffee shops etc. What on earth has happened to us that we have to be reminded to simply be nice and patient to folks who are just trying to help us.

TY PM @JustinTrudeau for giving me the opportunity to share my experiences on the effects of gun violence. It's imperative that all levels of govt work together to keep Canadians safe. @JudySgroMP @YaaraSaks @fordnation @JohnTory #Community #GunViolence

I am an optimist and see so much beauty around me. But some days there is so much pain in the world that my soul cannot see it from all the tears.

I had the pleasure of meeting your grandmother years ago at Queen's Park. I loved her spirit & zest for life! She was so proud of her grandson! God Bless Her ♥️
Visited my 107 year old grandmother Teresa Brown to celebrate #EasterMonday at her long term care home in Toronto. Her resilience and love is inspiring. ☘️

The global pandemic has exposed hardship and fractures in the home care system. Repeatedly, people with disabilities have been asking for more resources in the community. There has not been a substantial investment in home and community care to resolve waitlists in over a decade.

As I continue my first domestic tour as Minister of Public Safety, I’m excited to be in Manitoba for important visits and conversations about stopping gun violence, ensuring our borders stay open and keeping Manitobans safe.

I'm in the hospital today for my regular cancer checkup and blood work (I'm here at least twice a month). It is busier than I have ever seen it before. So many cancer patients, not enough staff, the ones who are here are exhausted yet somehow still smile at you with their eyes

Pray for a speedy recovery, stay well ♥️
Today was a good day! 10 days after my stem cell transplant (pic) I had the first signs that my transplant has been a success. My blood counts are coming back up from rock bottom. It has been a rough couple of weeks, but better days are ahead.
