🧵 Tweet Thread: Observations from a Visit to Fredericton Legislature

1/ Today, I visited @Gov_NB legislature to witness our democracy in action. It was a unique experience that I highly recommend to everyone. Here are my observations: 2/ The presence of prayer in the house caught my attention. In a diverse province, it raises questions about how we decide who to worship. Many municipalities have stopped this practice. The behavior changed significantly once the Lord's Prayer concluded.

📣 The impact of the last five weeks cannot be underestimated. The LGBTQ community, our province's reputation, and even the Team Higgs caucus members feel the repercussions. @DanielAllain @RichardAmes_MLA

My message is a heartfelt plea for your voices to be heard. This is not just a conversation about the LGBTQ+ community; it's about who we are as residents of New Brunswick. It's about embracing our values of kindness, inclusivity, compassion and standing up for one another. We cannot allow our political leaders to lead us down a path of darkness driven by political motivations and disregard for the well-being of our diverse communities. Even if the polls suggest otherwise, we must affirm that we will not compromise our principles.
