Confidence is built through evidence. Every time you follow through on a commitment, especially when it would be easier not to, you prove to yourself that your word means something. Small promises kept consistently create trust in yourself. And that trust becomes the foundation of lasting confidence.

*Let Us Pray For Peace🙏🏽* As we remember and honour all those who were killed in the 9/11 Trade Center Tragedy, let us also remember all who were and are caught up in the horrors of wars and were and and are being killed due to misguided and thoughtless leadership! 😔🙏🏽

Canada🇦🇹💖 Is Strong And Building Big. While Canada's counter tariffs are to take effect today at 12 minight EST, a mad man's sickening threats on many fronts, wouldn't deter Canada, only enhance its standing & prestige in the world. May Canada 🇨🇦 continue to prosper & flourish🙏🏽

"Lake Ontario Will Always Be Lake Ontario": Be it known, we Canadians will never agree to Lake Ontario, one of the 5 Great Lakes, being referred to as Lake America.

We say the traditional name should be restored for Americans as well. And so it will be. I say believe; and it will come true. Pray, Trump's trade war with Canada, that's causing hardship for both Canadians and Americans would end soon for the good of all.

..We can't remain silent observers. I feel duty bound to show my disapproval and distaste and I am sure you feel the same. Let's say it loud and clear for the whole world to hear: "Lake Ontario Will Always Be Lake Ontario." 🇨🇦❤️

🐘❤️ CUANDO TODO PARECÍA PERDIDO, LA SALVACIÓN LLEGÓ DE UNA MANERA INESPERADA En medio de las inundaciones y la desesperación en Nepal, cuando el agua arrasaba con todo a su paso, ocurrió una escena que parece sacada de una película. Un elefante se abrió camino entre las aguas y los escombros para ayudar a dos niños y ponerlos a salvo, demostrando que el instinto de proteger y la compasión no conocen fronteras. A veces, la humanidad no se encuentra en quien habla más fuerte, sino en quien extiende la trompa cuando otro necesita ayuda. 🐘 Porque incluso en medio del desastre, todavía existen historias capaces de recordarnos que la bondad sigue viva. ❤️🌎 #Nepal #HistoriasQueInspiran #Esperanza #Compasión #Animales #BuenasNoticias

Pendant plus d’un an, le Canada a travaillé sans relâche et en toute bonne foi avec les États-Unis en vue de négocier un nouvel accord commercial global. Nous avons été pragmatiques, patients et persévérants. Notre objectif a toujours été d’obtenir le meilleur accord possible pour les Canadiennes et les Canadiens. Il n’a jamais été question de signer un accord à tout prix ou à l’intérieur d’un délai donné.   Tard hier soir, j’ai ordonné à nos négociateurs de rentrer à Ottawa. Nous ne pouvons pas accepter ce que les États-Unis nous offrent, et nous refusons de leur accorder ce qu’ils nous demandent.    Le Canada appliquera des droits de douane équivalents, au dollar près, à ceux imposés par les États-Unis, et ce, pour protéger les travailleurs, les agriculteurs, les familles et les entreprises du Canada.    Dans les prochains jours, nous dévoilerons les détails de ces nouvelles mesures tarifaires, qui entreront en vigueur le mardi suivant la fête du Travail.

On Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, we honour the tens of thousands of civilians killed during the Sri Lankan Civil War and stand with the survivors, families, and communities who endured profound suffering — including many in Canada’s Tamil diaspora.

Huge congratulations to Bodhana Sivanandan on becoming England’s top female chess player at just 11 years old. We once played each other in the Downing Street garden. Let’s just say her success has not come as a shock!

Canada has what the world wants — and in this era of profound change, we’re a strong, reliable partner with ambition to build. At the World Economic Forum, I met with business leaders from across sectors and nations who want to build with us.

I spoke with Canada’s Premiers today about how Budget 2025 will enable us to build big — more homes, new infrastructure, major nation-building projects.    Working together, we’ll get big things built faster and create more opportunities for our workers and businesses.

Ready for Halloween with Hadrien: he’s the surfer, I’m the shark (to his left). We built the costume together — a little father-son Halloween teamwork. 🎃🦈🏄‍♂️
