An honour to speak at the Canadian Club Toronto about Budget 2025 — our plan to catalyse $1 trillion in investment for Canadians. 
 
We used to build big in Canada. It’s time to take risks and invest boldly in our future again.

More opportunities for Canadian workers, growth for Canadian businesses, and a stronger Canadian economy.

Our freedom was won by brave women and men who answered the call — including the heroic First Nations, Inuit, and Métis members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

On Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the sacrifice of those who have served, those who serve today, and their families.

Toronto Harbourfront Centre is a space where people come together to share stories, create art, and build community. 
 
Budget 2025 is building strong communities, and investing to build more places like this that bring us together and strengthen the bonds we share as Canadians.

With Budget 2025, we’re focusing on what we can control — building here at home so we can protect and empower Canadians.

With Budget 2025, we will double the rate of housing growth — more homes for Canadians, and more careers in the skilled trades.

CBC headline: O Canada! Summer tourism numbers hit all-time high

This summer, Canada’s tourism sector did more business than ever before — by welcoming the world and being our own best customer. 
 
More good news: we just renewed the Canada Strong Pass for the holidays and summer 2026 — so it’s more affordable to explore our incredible country.

Had a good conversation with Calgary’s new Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social yesterday about working together to build more homes, safer streets, and stronger communities — creating more prosperity and security for Calgarians and all Canadians.

We’re investing big to strengthen health infrastructure — building the hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centres, and medical schools across the country that Canadians rely on every day.

We’re focused on what we can control — building a stronger Canadian economy.

Stopped by the Schwaben Club in Breslau, Ontario for Oktoberfest — a celebration of community, culture, and great beer.

Opinion: After Trump visit, Poilievre blames Carney for everything under the sun, including sunburn The Conservative Leader isn’t stupid. He just thinks the people listening to him are

Pierre Poilievre sure had himself a time this week after the White House visit, blaming Mark Carney for everything under the sun - including sunburn.

Found this slim gem in a London bookshop. Who am I to disagree with Michael Ondaatje? #AmReading 📚

Well done, 🇨🇦Canada.
UK inflation 3.9%, Canada 1.9%.
Not bad, with a former governor of two central banks running the joint.

Again.

China waved goodbye to US energy imports in June. Big move. #EnergyTransition

By which I mean, the premiers have met and agreed that the federal government should be providing more funding for health care.

But that leads to questions about the utility of these "council of the federation" meetings.

If they're largely or primarily about asking or blaming the federal government for things, how much is really being accomplished?

Which is basically understandable.

If you lock ten premiers in a room and ask them to find agreement on something, the easiest things for them to agree about will be demands or complaints about the federal government.

One of the stronger arguments for regularized first ministers' meetings (meetings that include the prime minister) is that these "council of the federation" meetings (which only include premiers) just become focused on things the premiers want the federal government to do.

Someone should probably poll Canadians on this, but I suspect Brian is correct.

Honestly, there might be a lot to be said for returning to the pre-Internet consumption patterns.

Read the news once in the morning and then once again at either 6pm or 11pm.

I have no idea what's going on in the Ontario Liberal party, but reaching out to the prime minister's office to complain about something Nathaniel Erskine-Smith did seems... rather silly.

Working together in the Canadian federation

I didn't reference it, but I think you could add to the discussion the latest numbers from Environics showing a big jump in how many Canadians think the federal and provincial governments are working well together.
