@senatormartydeacon.bsky.socialReposted by @drkristopherwells.bsky.socialI was thrilled to attend the 2SLGBTQIA+ Back to Parliament Hill Reception on Tuesday, hosted by 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations in partnership with the Canadian Pride Caucus, including @drkristopherwells.bsky.social.
@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialThanks for coming and showing support to our 2SLGBTQI+ communities! 🌈🙏
@drkristopherwells.bsky.social100% correct. A violation of charter rights and a more egregious violation of human dignity.
@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialThank you, Garner and family for sharing your inspiring story with us! 🌈🏒

@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialThis past week, I asked Hon. Minster @eleanorolszewski.bsky.social about the costs Alberta’s referendum could have on the province’s economy and the economic uncertainty it is creating.
@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialEarlier this week, I had the opportunity to participate in a dialogue about Medical Assistance in Dying and the federal government’s new announcement on Power and Politics.
@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialYesterday, I asked Minister Hajdu about overdue changes to the Employment Equity Act and how the government would ensure that 2SLGBTQI+, Black, and racialized workers, as well as persons with disabilities, would be included in the Building Canada Strong Act (Bill C-39).
@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialMartin Luther King JR famously stated that “Budgets are moral documents.” You fund what you value.
@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialFully agree. It is time to end selective faith-based restrictions on care.

@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialOn World Suicide Prevention Day, please encourage the Canadian Government to commit to developing a national suicide prevention strategy that is comprehensive and fully resourced. To make change and save lives we need more than words. It is time for bold actions.
@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialA sad day for Alberta. Chief Justice Khullar was among our best legal minds and an incredible advocate for the rule of law, charter values, and human rights.
My condolences to her family, friends and colleagues. 💔
@drkristopherwells.bsky.socialAlberta Senators had a delightful conversation today with our Lieutenant Governor Salma Lakhani and Dr. Zaheer Lakhani.
