Should the Government of Canada continue to use the bird site to share important official information? That was a question many of you asked me. So today, during Senate question period, I asked your question of Senator Marc Gold, the government representative in the Senate. Here's our exchange. What do you think? https://youtu.be/y1D7PlvSFTE?si=vKUvGdP_CRjfO_V9 #SenateofCanada #Xodus, #X #cdnpoli #GovernmentofCanada #Canada #Twitter #Mastodon

I spent my afternoon at West Haven School in Leduc, speaking to Grade 9 students about the history and role of the Senate. At the end of our conversation, one of the bigger, tougher looking boys asked me for a hug. I think he may have been taking the mickey - but I hugged him anyway. Next thing I knew, a whole bunch of them asked for hugs! So hugs they got. A reminder that even the gruffest looking teens need a little hug now and then. #Alberta #Leduc #BlackGold #SenateofCanada

As Pride Month begins, I am delighted to share my latest column for Alberta Views, on a most unique and unexpected Pride festival - the one hosted in Innisfail, Alberta. If you need a post-election pick me up, here’s a story of joy and hope. https://albertaviews.ca/innisfail-pride/ #PrideMonth #pride #Alberta #abpoli #Innisfail #Canada #AlbertaViews #lgbtq #SenateofCanada
