Read this excellent thread that walks through the incredible amount of work that goes into an evacuation. And thank our diplomats for doing what they do - 24/7. Our ambassador in Israel is one of our best and she has a good team behind her. @LisaStadelbauer @PafsoApase

Tomorrow, the world will mark 500 days since Russia started its brutal, full-scale invasion of #Ukraine. Russia’s invasion needs to stop. Not in 500 days, not in 50 days, but today.

Many Canadians know about The Group Of Seven, but have you heard of the Indigenous Group of Seven?
Formally known as the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation, it was formed in 1973 with seven Indigenous artists to promote Indigenous art.
These are the artists

Minister Joly concluded a productive trip to Norway, where she met with her @NATO counterparts. She emphasized Canada’s unwavering support for Ukraine, reaffirmed the importance of finalizing Sweden’s accession, & reviewed priorities for the Leaders’ Summit in July.

Here in Oslo, we paid our respects to the 77 people killed in the 2011 terrorist attack in Norway.
The deadliest attack the country has ever faced since WWII, with many of the victims being children, Canada stands with our Norwegian partners in honouring those lives lost.

Uganda’s “anti-gay” bill is abhorrent, cruel and unjust.
No one should live in fear or be persecuted for who they are and who they love. We stand with the LGBQTQ+ community in pushing back against the rising crackdown on their human rights.
Spectacular premier of #LightofPassage by Canada’s #CrystalPite 🇨🇦 partnering with 🇳🇴 Norwegian National Ballet at #Oslo Opera House.
