Breakfast of Champions

Marc Garneau held the door for me. There’s a statement I never anticipated uttering. He’s both an astronaut and a gentleman.

Marc was on the panel discussing the tragedy of missing and murdered indigenous women in northern British Columbia after a recent screening of Matt Smiley‘s Highway of Tears. This heartbreaking, shameful exposé is essential viewing to understand Canada’s injustice system.

Getting back to Marc, I’d like to thank him for his kindness by offering him this easy, but powerfully nutritious Breakfast of Champions to keep him focused on fighting the good fight.
