So many of us here in Canada hold you in the highest of respect and esteem. I am sitting in Canada’s parliament right now readying for a vote and I wanted you to know that many of us here are sending you healing thoughts. We are grateful for your leadership.

Ok... I must admit to struggling with this but I decided that by being silent, I would not do right by my team or by my beliefs that politics should be civil. When we see an example of intolerance or suggestions of violence, we must challenge them. 1/2

Facts matter, and this is misleading.
We don't take veterans to court. Ever.
But the Harper Conservatives spent a decade gutting veterans’ services in a desperate attempt to balance the budget on the backs of those that have served our country.
Over the last four years, the Trudeau government has spent more than $38 million fighting veterans in court. When he was asked why, he said our Canadian heroes were asking for more than he could give.
