A Netflix documentary is not a sacred text, FGS. It’s mostly hearsay dressed up with music and selective interviews. Netflix is a centre of disinformation no less than Wikipedia. Ugh

All veterans share a selfless commitment to serve Canada. On #RemembranceDay, we honour their service and sacrifice, pay tribute to those who gave their lives in duty, and remember those who never came home.

I strongly condemn the attack on Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom in Montreal—the third incident in under two years. The congregation’s resilience in proceeding with Shabbat services is inspiring. Such attacks are becoming all too common in Canada and underscore the need for the government to take meaningful action against antisemitism. We welcome the hate crimes investigation to hold the perpetrators accountable.

After 262 days in hospital, Maya is finally going home.
Her incredible courage and fighting spirit, and the unwavering love of her family, are an inspiration.
Maya, you have amazed us all. May God bless you with continued strength and healing on the road ahead.
262 days.
It’s been 262 days since you were airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital.
262 days since we were told, “We did everything we could, but we don’t think she’s going to make it through the night.”
Since then, I’ve watched you fight for every single one of those days.
251 days ago, you opened your eye, moved it, and shifted your leg only to be rushed back for emergency surgery that morning when hydrocephalus set in.
238 days ago, you were extubated and breathed on your own for the first time.
230 days ago, you felt the sun on your face again.
224 days ago, the cranioplasty we had planned turned into yet another emergency when an infection was discovered.
214 days ago, your EVD was finally removed.
213 days ago, you sat on the edge of the bed with a little help, and I wrapped my arms around you for the first time since the morning I left for work before any of this began.
191 days ago, the NG tube came out, and I saw your beautiful face completely clear of tubes and tape.
179 days ago, your prosthetic skull was placed. Your fifth surgery, and the one that finally stuck. After that, things slowly began to feel possible again.
145 days ago, you smiled for the first time (intentionally) while we played thumb war.
140 days ago, I wheeled you off hospital grounds for the very first time.
61 days ago, I heard your voice again.
40 days ago, we celebrated your 13th birthday at the Foo Fighters.
And today, today you’re being released.
There was never a day I stopped believing we would get here. The road ahead is still long, but this is a milestone no one thought we would reach. Maya, you are the bravest person I know. You are an inspiration to so many people. Giving up was never an option for me, and it clearly never was for you either. You refused to accept the words we heard 262 days ago when you came out of the OR. Look at you, my girl. You blew every expectation out of the water.
Thank you to the incredible nurses, doctors, and therapists who walked every step of this with us. Thank you to everyone who supported Maya and our family we could not have done this without each and every one of you.
Now it’s time to leave these hospital walls behind and keep moving forward, Maya Bear.
I love you forever and always.
—Dad ❤️
Why do they do stuff like that!?

A beautiful act of kindness from our friends and neighbors the United States.
To our friends in America. Thank you for standing by our injured soldiers in their time of need.
United we are always greater 🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸
The safety, security and recovery of the heroes injured at CFB Wainwright are our top priority.
We are grateful to Alberta’s medical teams caring for them, and to the medical professionals who have come from Saskatchewan, Ontario and elsewhere to work alongside them.
I sincerely thank U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra for reaching out to me as Wainwright’s MP with an offer of medical assistance. We deeply appreciate this gesture of support for our injured soldiers and their families at such a difficult time.
We have informed the Minister of National Defence and the Government of Alberta of the offer so they can determine whether these additional resources and expertise are needed.
Our prayers remain with our heroes and their families.

Quatre soldats canadiens ont tragiquement perdu la vie alors qu’ils servaient notre pays à la BFC Wainwright.
Le soldat Shaun Farrell, le soldat Aidan Goulding, le sergent Morgan Wong et le soldat Hayden Lykkemark ont répondu à l’appel pour servir le Canada. Le Canada pleure leur perte.
J'adresse mes plus sincères condoléances à leurs familles, à leurs amis et à leurs camarades. Mes prières accompagnent également les blessés, à qui je souhaite un rétablissement complet, ainsi que tous leurs proches.
Nous nous souviendrons de leur engagement, nous honorerons leur sacrifice et nous serons aux côtés de toute la famille des Forces armées canadiennes en cette période de deuil.
🤍❤️🤍

Pray for Wainwright, everyone.
There has been a serious incident that caused a fire at CFB Wainwright. Thank you to the brave firefighters and emergency responders working to save lives.
I have spoken to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence to offer our support to everyone on the base and in the community.
To everyone in the area, please stay safe, follow local emergency instructions, and keep roads clear for first responders.

Being Jewish is like when someone is mad at you for something you did in a dream they had. 😵💫
