I have to say something about
@KevinVuongMP
. It's something I'm not sure you realize ... You know Kevin has been such a strong voice for the Jewish community. And continues to be a voice for all Canadians. You likely know he and his wife Elizabeth have a baby on the way. And must be incredible partners to lean on each other and get through all of this with so much will and strength. But. What you don't know ... Kevin is my MP. We met in-person for the first time at a rally for the hostages a few weeks ago. We took a photo together. I posted it on X. And the response was nothing I could have imagined ... I receive hate online every day. From disgusting to death threats and everything in between. At times, messages flood me. There have been times when it's happened every few seconds for an hour straight. Vile garbage. The vast majority doesn't get read. But. The messages and hate I received when tagged with Kevin ... The words expressed were so atrocious. So abhorrent. So graphic. And consistently so. And yet, he continues to be a voice. He never makes it about himself. And he fights. Hard. No one would fight this hard for something they didn't believe in. Kevin Vuong isn't choosing to do the easy thing. He's choosing to do the right thing. I told Kevin this next bit privately, and now I will tell you too: I would be happy to have my photo taken with him anytime. And I'd be sure to post it proudly online. Thank you, Kevin. And thank you, Elizabeth. And mazal tov on the upcoming baby-boo!
