January 17 is an important day for me. 6 years ago today I was freed, after being held hostage in Iran for 544 days. I was taken from prison, boarded a flight leaving Tehran and reunited with my family. It was a day of celebration and relief.
My hostage ordeal has a happy ending, in large part because I had the benefit of a supportive family, employer and a large community of caring colleagues of friends, some of them very influential, all invested in my well being.
My circumstances & support structure were as much as anyone could hope for coming out of such a traumatic experience. And yet recovery & reintegration were — and some days continue to be — grueling. I wasn’t prepared for the challenges of freedom after being locked up. No one is.
Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor have been held hostage by China for 1,000 days.
Each day in his windowless concrete prison cell, Michael Kovrig walks 7,000 steps to stay strong and sane.
In 30 minutes a solidarity walk starts in Windsor Park, Ottawa. I’ll be there.

Michael Kovrig wrote to his family: “We don’t get to choose our circumstances. We do get to choose how we face them.”

Muslims receive disproportionately negative coverage – both quantitatively (amount of coverage) and qualitatively (they're more likely to be defined as “terrorists”)
Muslim charities have been deemed a high level of risk for terrorist financing, with no evidence to substantiate.

It is not surprising that Muslims aren't safe in Canada, when validation of anti-Muslim bias comes from the top! When the government and the media all come out and say: "Muslims are dangerous", suddenly Joe Canuck thinks its okay to mow them down with his pickup.
Honestly, @JoeBiden and his team need to be working on a plan to #BringThemHome.
You don’t get to spend 4 years pretending to be against all he’s done to migrants and refugees and complain about family separation and then come into office and take no corrective action.

They need to be thinking about allocating resources currently spent on detention facilities we’re going to abolish to provide medical monitoring and treatment to the children they’ve traumatized for life; to the families of people who’ve been killed by BP and ICR; to community.
We don’t want to hear a word about scarce resources.
You’re going to have over $3bn to play with because you won’t be condemning humans to rot in cages.

I am going to start saying this once a week. We’re not a Christian country if kids are languishing in foster care in need of adoption. Fellow church-goers: we have to do better.
Let us resolve in 2020 to take home every child who needs a home. Anything less is a scandal.
If you need a home study get a home study. Talk to friends who have adopted. Cast into the deep!
