The tragic incident at last night’s Lapu Lapu Festival has left our Filipino Canadian community heartbroken.
To those lost or injured, and their loved ones—our hearts are with you.
From coast to coast to coast, we stand with you.
See my full statement below.

We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, more humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza, and a lasting two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians.

I’ve convened the Cabinet Committee on Canada-U.S. Relations this morning in response to President Trump’s attack on our workers and our industries. 
 
We will get through this crisis — and we will build a stronger, more resilient economy.

Last night, I joined my fellow @liberalca candidates and the Rt. Hon. Jean Chrétien at @chrystiafreeland ‘s campaign launch. Feeling such great energy from our Liberal team!

Together, we are #CanadaStrong. 🇨🇦

President Trump’s tariffs will hurt, but they will not break us. 

We will get through this crisis together, because in Kitchener-Waterloo — and right across the country — we are #CanadaStrong.

Canada will never stand with hate. Not now, not ever.

Please read my statement on the horrific threats against Toronto’s Jewish community.

This week, I heard from the Association of Rape Crisis Centres in Israel who shared with me the incredible work they are doing with the $1 M in support that Canada pledged last year.

We will continue to support survivors.
We continue to bear witness.
We believe women.
We will not be silent.

Last year, I met with organizations in Israel who are helping survivors of Oct 7 and addressing the weaponization of sexual violence on that horrific day. Their stories were harrowing. Their fearless commitment to justice and accountability, and compassion in the face of evil is inspiring.

It’s been the privilege of a lifetime to serve Canadians as Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.

To #YorkCentre: I got into politics to fight for you. This remains true today, as it has every day. The work continues to build a strong 🇨🇦 to take on the challenges we face.

No kid should go to school hungry.

All provinces & territories have now joined the National School Food Program.

400K+ kids will now be able to go to school with a full stomach, saving families an average of $800 per year.

We’re ensuring kids can reach their full potential.

Plus de 400 000 enfants pourront désormais aller à l'école avec un estomac plein, ce qui permet aux familles d'économiser en moyenne 800 $ par an.

Nous veillons à ce que les enfants puissent atteindre leur plein potentiel.

Canadians shouldn't have to pay for the damages caused by tobacco companies.

Our cost recovery framework will make companies, rather than taxpayers, pay to fund our public health efforts to curb smoking.

We are committed to working with all partners to protect the health of 🇨🇦.

Les Canadiens ne devraient pas avoir à payer pour les dommages causés par les compagnies de tabac.

Notre cadre de recouvrement des coûts obligera les entreprises, plutôt que les contribuables, à payer pour financer nos efforts de santé publique visant à réduire le tabagisme. 🧵
