One of my favourite parts of being a senator? School visits. Friday, I spoke (via Zoom) to a University of Ottawa law class on digital regulation, taught by @mgeist. This afternoon, I Zoomed with Grade 6 students at Covenant Canadian Reformed School, a private Christian school in Barrhead, Alberta. Later this week? Visits with Grade 9 classes at Esther Starkman & John D. Bracco Jr Highs in #Edmonton. Great do to this, while the Senate's not sitting. #SenateofCanada #yeg #Alberta #UOttawa

CW: Content warning: speech deals with cases of sexual assault and child abuse
In response to an Edmonton sexual assault case, R v Ldhlovu, the Supreme Court of Canada deemed Canada's sex offenders registry unconstitutional. I wrote in the Senate to speak to Bill S-12, which seeks to make the registry conform with the ruling - and which would give sex assault victims a change to lift publication bans of their names. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo8NdWPayqk #Edmonton #yeg #SenateofCanada #cdpoli #SupremeCourtofCanada

The CBC's Canada Reads competition is in full swing. And so far, Kate Beaton's remarkable graphic memoir, Ducks, is still in the race. A good reason and moment to re-post my Alberta Unbound interview with her! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-episode-4-of-ducks-and-men/id1511810939?i=1000587140178 #AlbertaUnbound #FortMcMurray #Alberta #CapeBreton #CBC #CanadianBroadcastingCorporation #CanadaReads #CanadaReads2023 #MatteaRoach #KateBeaton #Ducks #OilSands #NovaScotia #SenateofCanada

If you would rather read than watch....here is the link to the text of my 3rd reading speech on Bill C-11, which regulated online streaming services. Pay attention to the amendments we made at committee. It is the significantly amended bill on which we will vote tonight. https://sencanada.ca/en/senators/simons-paula/interventions/597108/14#hID #BillC11 #C11 #SenateofCanada #SenCa #cdnpoli #Canada #onlinestreaming #OTT #socialmedia
