A big congratulations and thank you to @CharlieAngusNDP for making us better and for always having people’s backs. Since some trolls are taking shots instead of a pause to thank Charlie for his (20+ years of) service to our Canada, I’m taking a minute to share my Charlie story.
As a young woman in politics, it’s sometimes (more times than I’d like to admit in 2024) a fight to be taken seriously and respected. But at every opportunity since I joined the @NDP team in 2015, @CharlieAngusNDP always gave me the respect and time of day. And I mean always.
Charlie heard me out, we had good discussions — when we agreed and disagreed — and he always gave me the space to say “Charlie I don’t know about that one” when we didn’t see eye to eye. No tone policing, or “you don’t know what you’re talking about” or “I have more experience.”
@MelanieLRicher @NDP @CharlieAngusNDP Did @CharlieAngusNDP join Greasy Jack at the rub and tugs?
