Thanks @WindsorMorning! My key msgs today: ✖️COVID changed how kids play 🤸🏿‍♀️Kids & teens need physical activity for 💪🏾+❤️+🧠health To ⬆️activity: 👨🏻‍🏫 Teachers can schedule breaks for movement 👨‍👩‍👧 Families can move together 🌲 Get outside ⏱️ Even short activity breaks go a long way!
Even with a return to school, many kids and teens are still not getting enough exercise. At 6:40 we'll ask @ObeidJ of @McMasterU about how they can get more activity, even when many sports and after-school programs are cancelled. stream live here - cbc.ca/listen/live/radio1/wi…

On Dec. 6, 1989, a misogynistic gunman murdered 14 women at École #Polytechnique de Montréal because they were women. Today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. via @Polysesouvient

"When you go home, tell them of us and say, for their tomorrow we gave our today." So many answered the call, so many lost their lives. Today, we remember all Veterans and thank them for their service and sacrifice. #RemembranceDay #CanadaRemembers #LestWeForget

This election is about so much more than @JoeBiden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.

When spelled out in its full form in English or French, the n-word is a powerful and hurtful word. When I’ve seen it written or heard it, I have experienced symptoms associated with a typical #trauma response (1/5)
