Official foreign languages, and a powerful farewell speech from Nunavut
This week I was reminded of something I posted on Twitter on June 16, 2021 (prior to the purchase, back when I participated on that service).
Leah Gazan has retained her seat in the 2025 election, as did Lori Idlout from Nunavut. Lori Idlout was elected to succeed outgoing MP Mumilaaq Qaqqaq in the 2021 Canadian federal election, when Mumilaaq Qaqqaq did not seek re-election after one term in Parliament.
I'm thankful that Leah Gazan in in the Canadian House of Commons to challenge the colonial status-quo on P.E. Trudeau's racist "Official foreign Languages". Having to discuss language and national issues with the openly White Nationalist Bloc Quebecois must be hard. https://openparliament.ca/debates/2021/6/15/leah-gazan-1/
Not long after this part of a discussion of "Quebec, a French-speaking Nation" (AKA: White Nationalism):

Opposition Motion on "Quebec" a reminder of some of what's wrong with "Canada".
Parliament keeps a video of that powerful farewell speech!
