“He’s right! We’re not at the negotiating table right now. Do you know why, Mr. Speaker? Because we walked away when it was in Canada’s interest to show the Americans that we weren’t going to accept a bad deal.”
After @PierrePoilievre's theatrics, @StevenMacKinnon gave him the smackdown!

Canada and the EU are working towards the deepest possible partnership — short of full membership — with Canada becoming the European Union’s first Associate Member.
Today in Montréal, we took a major step forward with more than twenty new measures that will create greater affordability, opportunity, and sovereignty on both sides of the Atlantic.

I am on my way to Edmonton. I will get briefed on the latest developments regarding the terrible incident that occurred at CFB Wainwright.
The Department of National Defence continues to work closely with the Government of Alberta and local authorities. Thank you to first responders, Canadian Armed Forces members, and provincial officials for their efforts.
To the families and everyone in Wainwright: Canada stands with you.

We’re helping one million Canadian households make energy-saving retrofits.
More efficient homes. Lower bills. More money in Canadians’ pockets.

We ran on a promise to cut red tape. To remove arduous, duplicative regulations across government.
We’re keeping that promise — and making the big, necessary changes that will help us build, invest, and deliver faster.
We’re cutting red tape.
Canada’s government introduced the Cutting Red Tape for all Canadians Act.
Building on existing progress, we’re targeting over 30 laws to make it easier for Canadians to access services and spend less time on paperwork.
Including in sectors like agriculture, fisheries, mining and telecommunications.
Canada strong for all.

Three years ago, the terrorist organisation Hamas perpetrated the worst attack against Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Thank you, @AliEhsassi, for being a strong advocate and relentless champion for Willowdale and all of North York. I’m grateful for your confidence and friendship.

One project. One decision. One year.
Through the Building Canada Strong Act, we are proposing a new approach to federal approvals for all projects.
Instead of multiple reviews and decisions which can take up to five years, consultations would be coordinated into one process, with a single federal decision made within one year.
That means project construction can begin faster, creating jobs and strengthening Canada’s economy.

Came home from synagogue on Yom Kippur to see the horrific and despicable news about the shooting at Sons of Jacob synagogue in Belleville. One police officer was shot and our hearts are with him as we pray for a speedy recovery. We all stand with the devastated community.

It’s time the helmet went home.
Found near Caen, France, close to where Canadian forces fought during Operation Totalise in August 1944, it is a powerful reminder of the Canadians who gave their lives for Europe.
Today, this helmet begins its journey back home with @CanadianPM @MarkJCarney, carrying our gratitude and the enduring friendship between Europe and Canada 🇪🇺🇨🇦

A new chapter for the EU-Canada partnership 🇪🇺🇨🇦
Ahead of @CanadianPM @MarkJCarney's address to @Europarl_EN this Thursday, I am delighted that tonight, the European Parliament's Bureau has endorsed the establishment of an EP antenna office in Ottawa.
A stronger presence that facilitates parliamentary exchanges across the Atlantic, with a regional remit reaching as far as the Arctic.
Europe and Canada: old friends, still writing the next page together.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Canada will match the new U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar.
In addition, we are introducing $7.5 billion in new and enhanced measures to support Canadian workers and businesses. That builds on the nearly $25 billion in supports introduced since the implementation of the U.S. unjustified tariffs.
Defending Canadian jobs, industries, and families.

The Tragically Hip wove the fabric of our country into their music.
Ten years on from their final concert, I was given the chance to reflect on what the Hip meant to Canada — and to Canadians.
