Replying to @TorontoRBOT
@TorontoRBOT celebrated its 133rd Annual Gala Dinner, in a wonderful evening. It was humbling to be amidst the movers, shakers and nation builders that are creating the glide-path for the Toronto Region, and by extension, for Canada to fly #AboveTheRadar.

Absolutely delighted, but for the millions of Canadians who received mixed vaccine doses (full disclosure, I am one of them!), it is crucial that issue is resolved so that all fully vaccinated Canadians are treated in the same way! @usconstoronto reuters.com/world/us/us-open…

Powerful words by Scott Woods ... we need to absorb these words and reflect upon them. They call out the language of privilege and shine a light on the experience of the oppressed and disadvantaged.
