Reading this made me feel angry, sad + scared. I looked at your twitter feed @LauraLynnTT and all I saw was racism + hate. It sure doesn’t seem very Christian to be so unaccepting of others. An anti-SOGI activist? Gross. #bced @bctf burnabynow.com/news/anti-sog…

If we can’t afford a school. We can’t afford a pipeline... it has been nearly 7 years since Shannen’s Dream motion passed. Time to make it real
Children across Canada are getting ready for about another school year, but kids in kashechewan have no school because the crappy, broken down portables pose a health risk.

For 4.5 billion we could have ensured every child in Canada had clean drinking water, good food to eat, good schools and more. Instead we bought a 65 year old pipeline... xitter.cf/UBCIC/status/102144787…

A disgrace. Please @AndrewScheer take action to ensure these individuals publicly apologize and receive training so they don’t do something like this again. xitter.cf/wearenorth99/status/10…

This is ridiculous and tragic. Why is Quebec continuing to send sick children alone on medical evacuation flights? It does not happen in other regions. xitter.cf/mcgillu/status/9992455…
