We must come together as a society to move beyond tolerance and towards acceptance. Together, we must challenge stigma to build a safer and more inclusive province where 2SLGBTQI+ communities are safe and free to be who they are, and love who they love.
Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. It is an opportunity to reaffirm the equity of LGBTQ2I persons and to show our allyship by being clear and steadfast in our commitment to supporting all.

“Why did @Health_PEI announce this under the cover of Mother’s Day weekend & days after the Throne Speech? This move will add stress to these patients, health care system and Islanders in need of emergency services at the QEH." @GordMcNeillyPEI Release: peiliberalcaucus.ca/post/hea…

As we mark #NationalNursingWeek , we recognize the tireless efforts and extraordinary commitment of all Island nurses. Your commitment and service is matched only by your compassion, critical thinking and adaptability. @jhalperry @RobHenderson25 @GordMcNeillyPEI #peipoli
As we celebrate Nurses this week take time to reach out and thank a Nurse. They provide care when hurt, compassion when needed and hope that all will be ok. To all Island Nurses - thank you for your service and always being there. #OurNursesOurFuture

PEI has the highest rate of household food insecurity in Canada. “This means almost 1/4 Islanders & 1/3 Island children are going hungry. Racial inequity is also glaring with the BIPOC community having a much higher rate of household food insecurity,” @GordMcNeillyPEI #peipoli
