The EU has delivered greater stability across the continent, greater mobility for its citizens, and a single market that gives Europe global economic weight. An honour to hear President von der Leyen address the European Parliament today as we build a deeper partnership for the future.

Pride is a promise — that every Canadian can live safely, openly, and proudly as themselves. To the 2SLGBTQI+ community in Nepean, and across Ottawa: Happy Pride!

PM Carney has just enhanced his stature as the leader of Middle Power resistance against American dictate. There is no way we will ever let another country set our language and trade policies. #CanadaStrong #teamCanada 🇨🇦

This whole situation with the USA trying to force in last minute capitulations shows exactly what I’ve been saying the entire time. You can’t negotiate with people who only have bad faith. No agreement has weight. So stop wasting time appeasing these cheese dicks. Hang up the phone.

In the coming days, we will release the details of these new tariff measures, which will come into force the Tuesday after Labour Day.

Canada will match the U.S.’ new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses. We take this step confident that it is in the best interests of Canada.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Just in case you were wondering, our Bicentennial Celebration in 1976 was held in multiple venues, and the artists included: The Eagles Fleetwood Mac Loggins & Messina (Their final performance before splitting up) Dan Fogelberg Elton John The Beach Boys America Elvis Presley Bruce Springsteen 1/2

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

We should already be rethinking every aspect of our relations with the US. It’s incredibly insane that we’re tiptoeing around acting like normalcy will return. It won’t.

If the US moves to take over Greenland – a threat we’d be foolish to dismiss – Canada would be forced to rethink every aspect of its relations with the US. Canadian officials need to start thinking though this nightmarish scenario now, not later. It would be a seismic event.

In response to the Washington Post defending Trump’s bulldozing the East Wing of the WH, I canceled my subscription to the paper I’ve read since growing up in Northern Virginia.

Trump let a mystery billionaire pay $130M to fund military salaries The law doesn’t allow an "end-around" when Congress hasn’t authorized these payments This raises serious legal and conflicts concerns I explained on @thebeat.msnbc.com👇

En cette Action de grâce, merci aux membres des Forces armées canadiennes en service à l’étranger.   Pendant que la plupart des Canadiens et des Canadiennes sont en famille, ils montent la garde et sacrifient du temps en famille pour protéger le nôtre. Merci pour votre dévouement.

Thousands of Ukrainian children have been abducted by Russia since Putin’s invasion.    I stood with President Zelenskyy today at the UN to focus the world's attention on these horrific war crimes — and to strengthen our international efforts to bring these children home.

Tomorrow night will be Jimmy Kimmel's most watched show in history - and MAGA are inadvertently responsible for that. But most importantly, Kimmel's First Amendment rights triumphed because of public pressure against Disney. Civic resistance matters. It delivers results. Keep it up, America.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Would be extremely funny if when Poilievre runs in a safe seat, all the other parties band together behind one candidate and get him to lose again.

I've managed crises my entire career: I led the Bank of Canada through the 2008 financial crisis, and the bank of England through Brexit. I’ve been here before — and I have a plan to see Canada through this.  #Debate2025

Countries shouldn’t even respond with tariffs. Get united in the messaging, the USA is at war with the world. Let your citizens boycott american goods while you work to create alternate trade arrangements. Freeze them out. They consume 25% of the world’s resources. Stop selling.
