Alex Neve says he wants Canada’s political leaders to commit to protecting human rights defenders, particularly women and Indigenous people.

Sticker...inappropriate. Hysterical self righteousness of lefties losing their minds...inappropriate, pathetic, yet predictable.

I'm hugely saddened this issue originated in CAD- and speaks to a greater problem- we DO have here, that needs to be addressed... respect for women. We can tak abt equal pay.... equality, jobs, etc. .... the issue is much, much greater. I love 🍁✌️✨. I pray for positive change.

Plan coming soon to mitigate 'significant' economic blow from COVID-19: PMPrime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that there are going to be 'significant economic impacts' felt by Canada because of the novel coronavirus.
