Canada’s government is focused on building Canadian, buying Canadian, and making it easier to trade within our own borders while diversifying our trade abroad.

What makes a community feel like home? It’s the people.

The 16th Williamsburg Community Festival was a beautiful reminder of that. Huge thanks to the organizers and volunteers who poured their hearts into making it happen!

Today we remember the victims of terrorism and stand with their loved ones.

Violence and hate have no place in our communities or our world. Canada remains committed to building peace and security.

By eliminating federal interprovincial trade barriers & helping the provinces to break down theirs, we can unlock 1,000s more homes a year and grow our economy from coast to coast.

It's one way our federal government is building #OneCanadianEconomy that's stronger, fairer, & better for everyone. 🇨🇦
