How about instead of building and rebuilding colonial monuments, we bring the children home that are separated from their families today? #mbpoli

DYK on ‘Mealshare Mondays’, customers can order a Beyond Meat Burger at A&W and one meal will be provided to a youth here at BGC Winnipeg? You can also add $1.00 to your bill any day of the week and a meal is provided to a youth here at the Club! @MealshareTeam @AWCanada

I can’t believe politicians are debating whether Quebec’s Bill 21 is discriminatory. Of course it is- it should be stopped @JustinTrudeau

Did you know it's spelled "Froot Loops" not "Fruit Loops"? 🤯

The Supreme Court has always been composed of white persons and yet a large portion of the cases they hear are about First Nations, Metis, Inuit and newcomers. Time for a change and dropping the bilingual requirement will open the doors for many qualified candidates.

Powerful words from advocate @CheyRatnam on @TheCurrentCBC about the change that needs to happen for youth #childwelfare. Readiness, not age, should guide how transitions out of care take place. Here’s the latest on #COVID19 moratoriums.

Thank you @mattgallowaycbc & @TheCurrentCBC for addressing impact of #Covid19 on children in #childwelfare. Culture & connection protects children from isolation and is a developmental need.

What has Canada done re: #Covid19 vs #childwelfare age cut-offs? See this visual #ReportCard. We began advocating w/ team of fellow YIC leaders across Canada & allies (@CWLC_LBEC + @AWayHomeCa) at the start of the #pandemic, our team plans to continue! #notstoppinghere #cdnpoli – at Toronto, Ontario
Youth who would have ‘aged out’ of #childwelfare were able to shelter in place & access services thx to moratoriums. Let’s keep protecting them and co-develop a plan for youth to transition in safety and dignity. #StandWithYouthInCare bit.ly/2NnPjGz
This work with young leaders in and from care fills my ❤️ with hope. Governments have an opportunity to collaborate with youth to co-develop a plan for better transitions for those aging out of #childwelfare. They should do it. #cndpoli #StandWithYouthInCare

Children and youth have stayed home to save lives. They've helped #FlattenTheCurve, #PlankTheCurve and #CrushTheCurve. Now that Canada's lockdown is ending, it's time to prove that we really are #StrongerTogether. Read their letter to Canada: ow.ly/4wIz50zKpwT
