Why do Canadians wear a red poppy? Worn from October 24 to November 11, it is the symbol of remembrance and honours Veterans and members of the @CanadianForces. It reminds us to remember their service and sacrifice. #LestWeForget

It was a pleasure to present the @usembassyottawa this maple tree on behalf of Canada in recognition of America 250. This tree is one of 250 that Canada is gifting to communities across the U.S. to reflect the lasting relationship between our two countries.

Protecting North America is a shared mission. The combat-ready personnel and aircraft of 4 Wing Cold Lake play an important role in Canada’s contribution to NORAD and the defence of our continent. ✈️ #NORAD #RCAF
This #WingWednesday, we are highlighting 4 Wing Cold Lake, Canada’s largest and busiest fighter wing. For more than seven decades, 4 Wing has generated and sustained combat‑ready fighter aircraft, personnel, and training that enable the Royal Canadian Air Force to protect and defend Canada’s interests at home and abroad.
4 Wing contributes to the joint safety and security of North American airspace through continuous participation in the NORAD mission, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Its CF‑18 crews and support personnel uphold the vigilance, responsiveness, and professionalism required for aerospace warning and aerospace control in defense of the continent.

Here are some of her thoughts.

25 years ago today, the world changed forever.
We remember the nearly 2,977 lives lost, including 24 Canadians, to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Canada stands with our American neighbours in remembrance.
We will never forget.

Thank you, General Jennie Carignan, #CAF Chief of the Defence Staff and CAF Chief Warrant Officer Bob McCann, for visiting NORAD Headquarters in Colorado Springs this week, to engage with both CAF and U.S. service members serving within the HQ.
Your visit recognized the shared commitment and daily contributions of both Canadian and American personnel toward the 24/7/365 defense of North America. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Sport has always had the power to bring us together. I was happy to attend the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Washington Nationals game as part of the Canada-U.S. Friendship Day and to celebrate our two countries' shared love of baseball.
My father was a lifelong Montreal Expos fan and every spring break, I looked forward to watching the Expos' spring training games in Florida with him. Those memories made tonight even more meaningful. – at Washington, DC
