Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Advocates call for federal, provincial governments to strengthen child-care system

Today in Ottawa, child care advocates raised serious concerns about possible cuts to Canada’s $10-a-day system. Workers can’t work without child care. We must protect it, expand it and invest in it. #ChildCareNow #cdnpoli Watch the press conference: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...
