I’ve been quiet on this account. I wasn’t sure what to do with it and am still not. For now, I just want to say thank you to everyone who reached out and supported me during the campaign and after. It was the best experience. I am so grateful for this city and it’s people.

Ramadan Mubarak to our Muslim neighbours. I learned a lot from the mosque over the campaign and am grateful for their education and engagement with the entire Hamilton community.
Replying to @lisahepfner
Check out the Hamilton Downtown Mosque website for their Ramadan schedule, as well as a list of year-round initiatives that engage the #HamOnt community. Wishing those who celebrate a peaceful and joyous holiday! downtownmosque.com/

Your long commute is the result bad plg decisions.Sprawl is expensive. Never pays for itself. We subsidize low density nhoods.But those with the least are subsidizing this hsg but are zoned out under guise of heritage & choice. Offer real housing choices.End segregation by income
To combat climate change, cities need to control their urban sprawl and intensify population density. But in the past two decades, the urbanized areas of major Canadian centres have grown by 34%. This new interactive explores 9 areas, including #HamOnt: ici.radio-canada.ca/info/202…

The next time I’m in Ottawa I’ll be going here. They had to close last weekend too, despite it being right before lunar new year for which they had prepared special flavours. When asked how to support them, they said support others: xitter.cf/mooshuicecream/status/… #communityfirst
We are closing early tonight (Friday) at 6:30pm and staying closed over the weekend until Wednesday Feb 9th🤞. One of our staff was physically assaulted on their way to work today, blocked on the sidewalk by two men and shoved to the ground for wearing a mask.

I absolutely love when we welcome someone to citizenship!! I have a friend who is just waiting for the oath and I am so excited for him when it happens. This is the Canada we love!
I took my citizenship Oath and officially became a Canadian citizen today. The people I met and worked with since arriving here as a Syrian refugee in 2017 have been overwhelmingly generous and kind. I’m truly honoured to be a citizen of this great country.

#Omicron hasn't just mutated. It's changed Covid symptom presentation too. Out: Loss of smell, taste. In: Sore throat*, runny nose, congestion, cough, body aches. If you have any of these, it's probably not a cold or flu. You probably have Omicron.

Participating in SLP 2021 was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made! Gained so many skills and lifetime friendships. Applications are coming soon! #SLP2022

An opportunity for Canadian leadership.
What would a global vaccine plan look like ? Waiving patents, enabling agreements with manufacturers around the world, sharing skills, building up capacity for distribution, improving health care systems, and overcoming vaccine resistance and anti-vax propaganda.#Vaccinate
