Violence against women isn’t just physical. It’s systemic. Economic security is safety. Proud to advise on MPP Alexa Gilmour’s motion for Women’s Economic Security. Ending gender-based violence means dismantling economic barriers. #EndGenderBasedViolence #EconomicSecurityIsSafety #December6
Around this time of night on the 6th of December I remember the lights. The red, flashing lights on the tv. I was a kid but I understood the grief, the fear and the pain. All these years later and we now find misogyny on the rise - on the rise! I feel hopeless tonight. #december6 #neverforget
The Polytechnique massacre wasn't just a mass shooting — it was a mass femicide. The gunman explicitly targeted women and blamed feminists for the troubles in his life. We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Don’t you dare forget their names.
#December6
Wishing you a day that glimmers with happiness and showers you with abundant good fortune in the upcoming year!

Misogyny is not manly and the patriarchy robs everyone. Sensible gun reform is the sign of a compassionate society.
“Nearly all of our modern gun control legislation came about as a consequence of the tragedy and subsequent lobbying by the gun control advocates born at Polytechnique that night.
“We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

The memory of the mass femicide at Polytechnique is still painful.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Montreal massacre, where 14 women — students at Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique — lost their lives in a mass shooting motivated by misogyny.
