Honouring Ukrainian heritage means strengthening all of Canada. Bill S-210 has passed unanimously in the Senate. As Ukraine defends democracy, we must stand with it not only in words, but through action. Read more in my interview for Ukrinform here: www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polyt...

Today is World Mental Health Day. It serves as a reminder that mental health is an essential part of our overall well-being. Let’s continue to work toward building awareness, reducing stigma, and ensuring that everyone has access to the support and care they need.

I am pleased to announce that my bill, S-210, An Act Respecting Ukrainian Heritage Month, has passed third reading in the Senate today. I hope Bill S-210 progresses smoothly through the House of Commons and when passed, it will designate each September as Ukrainian Heritage Month across Canada.

Today, on National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, let us remember that we have to move forward together with compassion, clarity, purpose and courage. Working together to do what is necessary and is right - is our task.

It was a pleasure to meet with the Canadian Medical Association alongside some of my fellow health Senators. We had discussions about how to support Canadian physicians, and improving healthcare access for Canadians. I am grateful for the CMA’s ongoing leadership to advancing health nationwide.

Canada can step should Ministers Joly and Champagne choose to do so. Must double funding to TriCouncils and scholarships and create a by pathway for US researchers. We can do it, if we choose to.

Let’s be clear: vaccines do not cause autism. This false claim has been thoroughly disproven by decades of research. For some reason there are people who continue this lie, causing unfounded concern amongst parents who want to do the best for their children. @scienceupfirst.bsky.social

It was a privilege to meet with MEEST, a Canadian organization with (Ukrainian roots) over 30 years of experience. “Meest” means “bridge” in Ukrainian, and that’s exactly what they are: MEEST delivers tons of humanitarian aid, offers consistent support to Ukrainians.

A solemn gathering on Parliament Hill, gathered to remember the hundreds of Ukrainian children killed in war - and the thousands more, kidnapped and taken to Russia for “reeducation.” Among the speakers were my Senate colleague @stankutcher.sencanada.ca and Edmonton MP @heathermcpherson.bsky.social

A small group, holding Ukrainian & Canadian flags, stands outside the West Block on Parliament Hill. On the green lawn are hundreds of white squares, each with the name and age of a Ukrainian child killed by Russian aggression.

Canada’s democracy is under threat—from both Russian disinformation and a growing wave of Trump-aligned rhetoric echoing the Kremlin’s playbook. In our latest op-ed, Marcus Kolga and I explore how these converging narratives are designed to destabilize and divide. The time to act is now.

Canada can help Ukraine now by using frozen Russian assets in our banks to help Ukraine with the means to win this war as quickly as possible. There will not be peace in Ukraine nor peace in Europe if Russia is allowed to prevail.

This Easter, over 20,000 Ukrainian children are still missing. They are not celebrating with their families. They are far from home, forcibly taken by Russia. This is a tragedy no child should face. Their return is not a matter of politics — it is a moral and humanitarian imperative. #BringKidsBack

The concept of “wellness”, itself a rather vague construction, was taken over by grifters decades ago. It’s become almost impossible for many to separate the wheat from the chaff. www.motherjones.com/environment/... and www.amazon.ca/Mind-Science...
