Yesterday in the Senate chamber I was deeply moved to receive a standing ovation. Becoming the first Indigenous person to lead a caucus/group on Parliament is not just a personal milestone, it’s a step forward for all of us working toward a more inclusive & representative Canada.

Thank you to my colleagues in the Progressive Senate Group (The Progressives) for your trust and support. I carry this responsibility with humility, pride, and a commitment to opening more doors for future generations.

It was a distinct pleasure to join Senator Wilson in introducing drag kings, HercuSleaze and Cyril Cinder to the Senate of Canada to celebrate the start of Canada’s Pride season. This is the first time Drag performers have been introduced in the history of the Senate. 🌈

Today marks 81 years since #DDay. We honour the Regina Rifles — “The Johns” — who landed on Juno Beach & reached their objective. We also remember the courage and sacrifice of all Canadians + Allies who served in WWII. Up the Johns. Lest we forget. 🇨🇦🍁tinyurl.run/WO1kVN
