Six months ago today, Canadians chose a bold new plan to build our country.   This year has tested Canadians, though it has also revealed a nation that is more determined, compassionate, and ambitious than any other. Together, let’s keep building Canada strong.

Canada’s new government ran on a promise to get big things built faster — and we are. Today, we’re referring the first round of nation-building projects to the new Major Projects Office. It’s time to think big, act fast, and build Canada Strong: pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releas…

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Hon. Ken Dryden, a Canadian hockey legend and hall of famer, public servant and inspiration. He was a 6-time Stanley Cup Champion, 5-time Vezina trophy winner, Minister of Social Development, and dedicated Parliamentarian. Ken Dryden was the reason I became a goalie, although I never mastered his ability to lean on his stick let alone keep the puck out of the net. His return to university at the height of his playing career taught the importance of balance in life. His post-hockey career demonstrated the value of public service. Few Canadians have given more, or stood taller, for our country. Ken Dryden was Big Canada. And he was Best Canada. Rest in peace.

34 years ago today, Ukraine declared its independence.

It’s time to spend less, so we can invest more in your future.

Big day. The One Canadian Economy Act just passed the House of Commons.    It’s time to build big, build bold, and build now.

Introducing the Canada Strong Pass — from June 20 to September 2.

We’ve been clear: you deserve to keep more of what you earn.   Canada’s new government proposed a middle class tax cut to help you do that — and the bill passed unanimously.   When you’re better off, our country’s better.
