My 11 yo asked me if we had made a will yet. When I asked her why, she said, in case someone kills you, I want my uncle to be my guardian- I don't want to be handed over to strangers. I let my kids sleep in my bed last night. We are not doing OK. #ldnont #Islamophobia #Hate

As a new immigrant in Canada, my 1st neighbor was a guy called Brendan. He had a black flag with the letter 'B' on his truck. I thought he must really love his name. It was yrs later tht I recognized the flag as the logo of the @BostonBruinsNHL #immigrantlife #StanleyCupFinal

Two Islamophobic attacks in Canada today: Scarborough and now Edmonton. Edmonton has seen seven violent attacks on Muslim hijab wearing women in the last six months already. #cdnnatsec

Ok #Ontario : our unions are doing their bit- we need to put our weight behind this. Tell @fordnation and @OntarioPCParty that our public health, our #Greenbelt & our unions are off limits. Say NO to 2 tier privatized healthcare. NO to inequities. YES to more funding. Let's go!

Today we joined leaders from Ontario's 4 largest health care unions to send @JustinTrudeau & @cafreeland a letter on our serious concerns about @fordnation ’s efforts to privatize Ontario's healthcare system is putting our members and patients at risk. #ONpoli 🧵1/5

@KirstyPatrick Appreciate the admission of a gross mistake. It however does not undo the harm - especially if the article is still up and this apology is NOT on the @CMAJ account.

Watching footage like that does things to your brain. It makes you question the safety of loved ones. It makes you wonder about how much simmering hate brews under the surface. It makes you look at the world in skeptical ways. 2/6

This is huge! NEVER think your voice is too small to effect change. This happened because so many spoke out against a wrong. When we collectively reject racism, we create a better world for everyone.

Never forget our Jewish brothers and sisters who have for the past few weeks been advocating relentlessly for a ceasefire & opposing Israeli occupation. They have shown the world what true allyship and moral courage is. Sending them love and prayers.❤️

There is much to be grateful for. But sometimes you also need to grieve. And then after that, renew intentions and efforts to make our communities safer - for EVERYONE. We owe this to ourselves. We owe this to each other as Canadians. 5/6

For those who say #islamophobia isn't real. This is the 7th *reported* attack on Muslim women in #alberta since December alone. This is real- and very disturbing..
