Safe, affordable menstruation is a basic human right. This is appalling.
#Opinion: Tampons can cost between $16 to $45 in remote Indigenous communities, which means some youth use socks instead of tampons in Nunavut, while others have to miss school in Saskatchewan.

Text FIONA to 20222 and donate $10 to @redcrosscanada to help those affected by #HurricaneFiona.
Because around here, we look after each other.
Listening to this and sobbing. Working moms who show up despite what’s happening behind the scenes. Oof 😭
Thank you for sharing @serenawilliams 💜
Meghan’s podcast has arrived. @Spotify have today premiered the long-awaited #Archetypes—a new series in which the Duchess Sussex investigates the labels that try to hold women back and shares stories from inspiring women across generations who conquered tropes in their lives.
I wonder if @LewisHamilton will rethink #bradpitt producing his #f1 movie now that we’re finally talking about his DV of #angelinajolie and their children.
We need less Mellings and more @LisaLaFlamme_’s
@BellMediaPR has their work cut out for them.
New from me: I got the inside story on the firing of Lisa LaFlamme. canadaland.com/bell-executiv…

Abortion is healthcare
Abortions are an #AYACSM issue
Please use inclusive language - this isn't just about cis girls and women

Ode to missing the @Formula1Canada; a thread.
Saving since December. Babysitter for 2 children for an entire weekend. First flight since COVID. Anxiety. Anxiety. Anxiety. Doing things that scare us, anyway. Packed. Speech to children about how mama always comes back.
Multiple alarms. Set. Set. Set. Wake up. Hit snooze. Wake up. Check email: @porterairlines cancelled flight. Rebooked SUNDAY after the race.
Reminder to @porterairlines that their “Oops” and *🤷♀️* has an impact of real lives of real people. Gutted. Devastated @Formula1Canada
And with @porterairlines cancelling my flight to YUL and rebooking me for after the @Formula1Canada race… I’m devastated 😭😭
Best thing NSCC PR program produced 😂💜

Thanks to @suzyhfx and @GaryBurrill for making this happen. #nspoli
Hi @SamAustinD5! Who should we contact about the sidewalks by DSA? Nothing is cleared and where a plow did go, it’s all ice. Super dangerous for kids walking, impassable for those with different levels of accessibility.
