Great to see a Canadian premier recognize this important week. 💫🏳️⚧️
November 13-19 is Transgender Awareness Week. We all have a role to play in building safer, more inclusive communities for all of us. Trans rights are human rights. Everyone deserves to live with respect, safety, and dignity.

The Edmund Fitzgerald's story found me as a kid. That song, that profound loss. On the 50 year anniversary, Gordon Lightfoot’s The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald still mesmerizes and captures the weight of the tragedy.
