7 minutes. 7 minutes of struggling that no one, especially a toddler, should never have to experience. Here’s a (non-exhaustive) list of things that take 7 minutes or less:
1. A quick phone call with a friend
2. Fill up your gas tank
3. Write a thank you card
4. Fold a load of laundry
5. Complete a journal prompt or meditation
6. Make a smoothie, boil a pot of water, or run through a drive thru
7. Listen to two of your favorite songs
Your Honor, my first request is that you genuinely imagine yourself doing each of the things listed above. I invite you to set a timer for 7 minutes and sit in silence. I want you to notice the discomfort of just how long each of the 420 seconds feel. I want you to think about a little boy struggling for 7 minutes. Waiting, wishing, hoping, praying, pleading that a hero would come save him. A boy crying out for his parents. Helpless, alone, terrified. Not to mention the physical exhaustion of trying to save yourself. I don’t know about you, Your Honor, but I don’t know the last time I tread water for 7 minutes. To tell you the truth, I’m not sure I could. And while that’s happening, his dad is under the influence and gambling/sports betting. He is so engrossed and absorbed that he doesn’t realize one of his two children aren’t accounted for. By the time he does realize, it’s too late. Furthermore, the dad is caught in numerous lies, things not adding up. So much so that the initial investigative team felt something was off from the start. The truth never requires a lie. And when a lie is presented, you must assume something happened that shouldn’t have happened. There were dozens of things in the last several minutes of Trigg’s too short life that don’t add up. The family was repeatedly warned a tragedy like this could happen without protective measures around their pool. Not only did they not do so, they declined a company’s offer for a free pool fence because the company wasn’t offering a good enough deal. This level of selfishness, pride, and greed ultimately cost Trigg his life. The highest price that can be paid. It is beyond concerning that this is clearing not an accidental drowning that was a freak accident that couldn’t have been avoided. To the contrary, this entire tragedy was preventable. This is not about vengeance or wanting a grieving family to suffer more pain and loss through a judicial process. This is my voice, one of hundreds, maybe even thousands. We collectively cannot understand how this little boy lost his life in such a preventable and neglectful way. The least you can do for Trigg is to review his case file for 7 minutes. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Delaney supported: Justice for Trigg Kiser: Demand Maricopa County Attorney Re-Examine the EvidenceMy nephew drowned in a pool with no safety features installed so this hits close to home. We need to do the right thing for this poor child who lost his life due to his parents not protecting him.
Brianna supported: Justice for Trigg Kiser: Demand Maricopa County Attorney Re-Examine the EvidenceWe need to get justice for TRIGG. I’m a single mom of two and the don’t even take a bath without me being there with them. No 3 year old should be left unsupervised for anything. If you’re going to have a pool put a fence up. No fence, gate or alarm system is too expensive. Your child’s life cost way more. And guess what no one should care about the aesthetics.
Lauren supported: Justice for Trigg Kiser: Demand Maricopa County Attorney Re-Examine the EvidenceI sincerely urge the Canadian government to recognize Prince Reza Pahlavi as the leader of the transition against the brutal and terrorist forces of the Islamic Republic. Let’s not let the blood of innocent people go to waste—help us seek justice. My mother lives there with the rest of my family, my cousins, and all of my friends. I am worried every day if today I'm going to hear some bad news about my friends and family or if I'm not going to be able to see them ever again. I haven't seen my family and mother for over 10 years now and I simply just wanna be able to see my mother again before it's too late!
Nooshin supported: Recognition of Prince Reza PahlaviAs an Iranian-Canadian, I ask the Government of Canada to recognize Reza Pahlavi as the leader of our opposition against the brutal Islamic regime that has taken 90 million Iranians hostage, including exiles like me. He understands our demands and gives you our voice. We will not be ignored and we will not stay silent. Tens of thousands of young, innocent lives have been lost—just in recent months. Silence in the face of one of the most barbaric genocides of this century is not an option.

Shadow supported: Recognition of Prince Reza PahlaviIt honestly does not make sense to keep diploma exams if students are already taking full-year courses. Teachers evaluate us over months through assignments, tests, labs, and projects, which gives a much more accurate picture of our understanding than one high-stakes exam. Diplomas add unnecessary stress, and one bad day can significantly impact a student’s grade and future opportunities. If full-year assessments already measure learning effectively, diploma exams are redundant and should be cancelled.
Lamees supported: Cancel semester 2 diplomas for Alberta high school studentsWorking single mom, I make almost $30 an hour working 12 hour rotating shifts and still can’t take care of my children are pay my rent because of the cost of living in this country
Cortney supported: Demand Prime Minister Carney to resignThis petition matters because results matter more than résumés.
Mark Carney presented himself as the competent steady hand, the technocrat who would deliver where others failed. That is not what Canadians are experiencing.
Start with jobs. The labour market has deteriorated sharply, with unemployment climbing toward levels not seen in years. Entire sectors have been hit, including steel and mill operations in British Columbia, costing thousands of Canadians their livelihoods. These were not abstract losses. These were families, communities, and careers, and much of this damage was avoidable with better leadership and planning.
Housing was supposed to be a priority. Build Canada Homes was framed as bold and urgent, with promises of 500,000 homes. The reality is nowhere near that pace, while affordability continues to collapse for working Canadians.
Fiscal oversight has raised serious concerns. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has warned that the current budget path is stifling growth and delivering poor value relative to the scale of spending.
There is also the issue of Carney’s past ties to Brookfield Asset Management and its offshore tax structures. These arrangements may be legal, but legality is not the same as leadership. Billions routed through tax havens are billions not supporting public services or domestic investment at a time when Canadians are being told there is no money.
Then there was the central promise that justified his leadership bid in the first place. He claimed he was the only one who could secure a deal with Donald Trump. Not only did that deal fail to materialize, but a poorly handled political advertisement involving Doug Ford, which Carney admitted he approved, directly undermined negotiations and forced a public apology. That is not statesmanship. That is basic and avoidable mismanagement.
Leadership is also about tone. When Canadians are talking about job losses, affordability, and national setbacks, constant smirking and inappropriate smiles project detachment, not confidence. They reinforce the sense that this government is insulated from the consequences ordinary people are facing.
When the Prime Minister dismissively says “who cares” in response to questions about when he last spoke with Trump, the answer is obvious. The people who care are those who lost their jobs. Families under financial strain during the Christmas holidays. Parents worried about keeping their homes. Marriages under pressure. Children watching their parents struggle with fear and uncertainty.
That is who cares.
This is not about ideology or personality. It is about competence, accountability, and the human cost of failed leadership. Canada does not need a technocratic elite managing decline. It needs leadership that delivers results and takes responsibility when promises fall short.
That is why this petition matters.
