The infamous *professional news* update:
Last month, I exited the Minister of Fisheries’ office as Director of Operations.
Last week, I began in the Prime Minister’s 🇨🇦 office as Atlantic Regional Advisor.
Thrilled to continue to work for the region I come from and love. 🌊

In my six years of work in Canadian politics, this is the darkest time I have experienced.
@mikekelloway
and his staff are good people who put their community first every day. It’s been a heavy week for the mental health of politicians and staffers in NS. No one deserves this.

Just had the most Canadian moment ever.
I was in a Loblaws parking lot, trying to fit patio chairs into my car. Every which way I tried - no dice. An Indian couple putting away their own groceries took notice of my struggle. 🧵

I remember Rita Joe visiting my elementary school, 20-odd years ago, to talk to us about her experience in Shubenacadie Residential School, and as a survivor. It’s a core memory. Thrilled to see her honoured at home in Nova Scotia for this year’s Heritage Day.

Dedication, grace, integrity, grit. Unafraid to question the status quo. Just a few ways I’d describe
@JoyceMurray
.
It’s been an honour of a lifetime to serve her as an Atlantic Advisor, and as Director of Operations. Thank you for your mentoring and friendship, Minister.
After much thought and reflection, I have decided not to run again in the next election after my current term.
My work in politics and time serving my community both federally and provincially as an elected official has been the honour of my life.

Nicole Peters was one of my first friends on the hill. We met in 2016, we both started the same week. We fumbled our way around together, and figured out together what the hell we were supposed to be doing as brand new staffers to Atlantic MPs.

As a single woman, living away from my family and friends, the smallest of situations can feel daunting.
Bills, chores, laundry, meals. It’s exhausting doing it all alone.
They didn’t have to take on the burden of fitting chairs in my car. I could have returned the chairs.

I’m…. mildly embarrassed that it took me so long to pick this one up. Turns out working 50-60 hours a week will do that. However, I polished it off in less than 24 hours.
10/10, brilliant. ⭐️

The last week has felt like a wave of heavy emotion, this afternoon’s service with
@mikekelloway
,
@natashkochhar_
and
@JaimeBattiste
felt no different. Father Roman and Whitney Pier’s Ukrainian community are major assets to Cape Breton Island.
Today,
@JaimeBattiste
and I joined the Ukrainian community at the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Parish in Whitney Pier for their service. Our thoughts are with all those who are hurting during this very difficult time.

This is half of the line up for pop up COVID-19 asymptomatic testing at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. Lines don’t phase us anymore- we’ve been through this enough waiting for Chase the Ace tickets. Grateful for the sunny day!

I’m pretty sure she’s befriended every member of the HoC administration. Party colours are no barrier - everyone is a friend. She makes everyone feel worthy and has trained countless young staff to go off into their future leadership roles.

They approached and politely asked if they could help.
For a solid 30 minutes, in their own language, they hashed out with each other (while helping each other with language gaps while communicating with me) how they could fit the chairs in my car. And voila, they made it work.

These past three years of being part of Mark’s team have been the best of my life- I could not have asked for a better person to work with. All the best to Mark and Pam in their next chapter together.
Dear Cape Bretoners: serving you in Ottawa for the past 19 years has been one of the greatest honours of my life. I’ve reached a point in my life that’s telling me I’ve had a great run, it’s time to move on. Read my statement:
