Happy Canada Day!!!! 🇨🇦 Here’s a little montage over the past couple years celebrating Canada Day. For me today is a day to celebrate all the incredible things about our country. I feel so lucky my parents chose to build a life for us in this amazing place. Today is also a day to reflect on what we need to do to build an even brighter future. It’s a day to imagine how can we take better care of each other so that we all rise.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day. Today we honour and celebrate the cultures, traditions and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. One of the greatest honours of my time in politics was amplifying the voices of the incredible Indigenous people I met. Learning from Elders, hearing stories from Kukums, dancing with deadly aunties, drumming with the unces and spending time with the youth were some of favourite memories. While today is a day of celebration it is also important to reaffirm our collective commitment to continue to fight for justice for the first people of this land.

Stephen Lewis was a titan in our movement. He fought for working people. He used his eloquence & moral clarity as a voice for the voiceless. He never stopped fighting. He will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences to @avilewis & family. stephenlewisfoundation.org/r…

As we learn more about the lives lost and those injured in the horrific shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., my heart aches for the families, friends, and all those directly impacted. Thank you to the first responders for your courage and service. As a nation, we mourn together.

Anyone who has seen Catherine O’Hara on screen knows of her comedic genius & acting talent. She was exactly how you would imagine her to be in person, hilarious and a lot of fun. She was also kind, humble & down to earth. My thoughts are with her friends & family.

I won Gold in my second competition this year. This one was at the ADCC Niagra Open. I competed as a purple belt in the +30 years old division despite being 46 years old. Thanks to everyone who showed so much love.

In memory of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s sacrifice or Shaheedi which Sikhs remember this week. He gave his life to defend the religious freedom of all people. His sacrifice teaches us about seeing the oneness in all people, radical empathy and defending the rights of all people.

Some asked me recently if I’m ever affected by negative comments online. While my answer was no, not at all. It got me thinking, why doesn’t it affect me? Maybe the answer lies with the Lotus Flower 🪷.

At a time when the odds feel so stacked against working-class people, the people of New York made history. They elected someone who will fight for them. Despite all the odds and powerful interests stacked against him, @ZohranKMamdani won. Congratulations!!! ✊🏽💪🏽

I fought in a Jiujitsu Tournament for the 1st time in 20 years and won gold! So much has happened since I last competed but I have always wanted to get back into it. What’s something you love that you want to get back into?
