    Totally inspired by during her virtual read aloud today of and her biography of her father, former CFL quarterback

    If can give 98% of Canadians high speed internet then we can damn well do something about Indigenous folks still don’t have access to clean drinking water

    This investment of $1.75 billion will help connect 98% of Canadians across the country to high-speed Internet by 2026, with the goal of connecting everyone by 2030. Funding will be made available immediately to get shovel-ready projects started right away.
