Today, September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and their families. Public commemoration of this history is vital to reconciliation. Every Child Matters. #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay

Quality sports programs have the power to change children’s lives. Honoured to join Executive Director of Jays Care Peter King as @avankoeverden.bsky.social announced funding for Jays Care programs so youth facing barriers across the country can play baseball.

"Every time we have a policy to support Canadians, like $10-a-day child care or dental care, they vote against it."

Le 25 septembre marque la Journée franco-ontarienne. Cette journée est une occasion importante de promouvoir la langue française, de renforcer les liens communautaires et de préserver ce patrimoine unique pour les générations futures. Bonne Journée franco-ontarienne!

“Watch this team. Watch these athletes. They are fast & furious. They are proud & passionate. They aren’t just happy to be there; they’re determined to win. They’re the best of Canada in a time when we need to see that showcased. You won’t regret it.”

The suffering of civilians in Gaza is horrific. Together with 25 other partners, Canada‘s message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages and a full resumption of humanitarian aid, including food.

Please see our collective statement.

Twenty years ago today, on July 20th 2005, Canada officially legalized same-sex marriage.

Despite losing his seat in the election, Pierre Poilievre still lives at Stornaway - that’s tax-payer funded government housing.

Ironic considering he spent his whole political career, including a few years as housing minister, denying affordable housing Canadian families.

Happy father’s day to all the dads, grandfathers and father figures out there!

Sending love to everyone missing their dad today.

Bonne fête des pères à tous les papas, grands-pères et figures de père! Envoi de l'amour à tout le monde qui manque son père aujourd'hui.

Defacing the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa is unacceptable, cowardly & hateful.

That sacred monument honours the memory of 6 million Jews and all victims of Nazi atrocities.

This antisemitic act of vandalism will not be tolerated. The Ottawa Police are investigating.

My thoughts are with the Jewish community, particularly the families, friends and colleagues of the Israeli embassy staff who were murdered in Washington yesterday.

Antisemitism is a scourge on society and it must end. The violence and fear that Jewish communities experience is wholly unacceptable.

We are cutting your taxes.

Serving in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet as the Secretary of State for Sport is tremendous honour and privilege.

As a kid who wasn’t very athletic but managed to win Olympic medals, a kinesiologist that understands how sport builds healthy communities & as a Canadian, you can count on me.

I am relieved to hear that India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire.

War and violence only lead to suffering and destruction. I’m hopeful that calm diplomacy will lead to stability and durable peace for the region.

You’re a good man, Charlie. Been a privilege. Hope to see you around.

I am horrified by the tragic events at the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver yesterday.

I offer my deepest condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured, and to the Filipino Canadian community.

Filipinos are the kindest, most generous people - in this difficult time, we are with you. ❤️

Out today, less than a week before election day, the 30 page Conservative party platform mentions women just four times.

Three of those mentions are related to anti-trans policies.

Get out and vote, like your country depends on it!!

Canada Strong! 🇨🇦💪🏽
