FACT CHECK: ✅ Fentanyl is driving the overdose crisis, not decrim ✅ Law enforcement have the tools needed to keep 🇨🇦 safe ✅This a health issue, NOT a criminal one While Conservatives stoke fear, we’ll work with provinces and territories to save lives.

I first got into politics as a kid inspired by the women who were breaking through so we would be seen and heard. I joined politics to stand with women like @SorayaMartinezF who advocate bravely for all of us. Our government is unequivocally and unapologetically pro choice.

Canada is a land of freedom and opportunity – including a woman’s freedom to choose. I take this personally. Because I know what it’s like not to be able to choose. It’s the story of my life. A thread 👇🧵

It is clear we must urgently build a credible path to achieving the two-state solution, one that gives hope to both Palestinians and Israelis that they may live side by side in peace, security, and dignity.

This week we celebrate Mental Health Week and our Youth Council had a great discussion about mental health. In #budget2024 we are investing $500M over five years to provide our youth with more mental health resources. When we empower young minds, we empower our Canadian future!

#Budget2024 helps ensure firefighters and first responders are well-equipped to keep Canadians and communities safe against wildfires and the intensifying effects of climate change. Learn how we’re supporting those on the front line:

More than ever, we must stand up for women’s fundamental right to make their own choices. The same ones that I was once denied. Conservatives are trying to be stealthy about their efforts to curtail rights. We will not let them. Not now. Not ever.

Petra Schulz has experienced the pain of losing a child to the overdose crisis. Now she bravely advocates for harm reduction programs that can help save others. Harm reduction IS healthcare.   Why does @PierrePoilievre refuse to meet Petra & her organization @momsstoptheharm ?

A woman’s right to choose is hers and hers alone. It is a woman’s right to have autonomy over her own body. We will never stop fighting for women and girls and their rights - they are human rights.

Every person in Canada deserves mental health support that respects their culture, background and experiences. We’re making sure our distress and crisis lines are able to meet the diverse needs of Canadians. If you need help – reach out.   #MentalHealthWeek

Today I moved a motion to reaffirm a woman’s right to reproductive health care and what did the Conservatives do? They shut down the meeting. (1/2)

Your right to choose shouldn’t depend on your income. So, we’re going to make contraceptives free in Canada.
