In Women’s History Month, we honour Rosalie Abella, a trailblazer for equality. Appointed Canada’s youngest judge at 29 and later the first Jewish woman on the Supreme Court, she pioneered employment equity and advanced human rights, inclusion, and justice.

Congratulations to Canadian author Anne Carson on her award of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature. Carson has brought ancient stories to life for readers around the world. Her achievement as the 19th woman to receive this honour is a proud moment for Canada and for generations of women writers 🇨🇦📚

For Women’s History Month, I honour barbara findlay, a trailblazer for queer and trans rights. Through groundbreaking legal work, she advanced equality, challenged injustice, and opened doors for generations. It was an honour to know her.

Canadian delegates met with the U.S. delegation to discuss trade, sustainable energy, ocean plastic pollution, and OSCEPA’s exclusion from monitoring the upcoming midterm elections. The discussion was friendly, with strong goodwill toward Canada.

Spoke at the OSCE PA on rebuilding trust in parliaments and strengthening multilateralism. In a fragmented world, honesty, accountability, democracy, human rights and cooperation among middle powers are essential. As @mark-carney.bsky.social said: “Nostalgia is not strategy.”

Every October, Canada celebrates German Heritage Month to recognize the history, culture, and contributions of German Canadians. Home to more than three million people of German origin, Canada's German community has helped shape our country #GermanHeritageMonth

On June 11, the Prime Minister launched Canada’s first National Food Security Strategy, backed by $3.2B over 10 years. Today, we’re launching the $1B Food-Link Fund to strengthen food supply chains and keep food affordable.

October is Women's History Month. We honour the women who helped build Canada and continue to shape our future.

Interesting to hear that 71% of Canadians have been constant in their boycott of US products and travel. It’s been 6 months that we have stayed the course. Shows our determination and grit! Time for Canadian producers & sellers, to be clear about "made in Canada" designation, which is still fuzzy 🇨🇦

Stelco, a steel manufacturer, is laying off 500 workers in violation of its contract, citing tariffs. Canadian workers and businesses are making sacrifices too. Foreign investors must honour their commitments or face legal action. #nosuchthingasafreelunch

DYK 5 northern BC First Nations are getting a $1B stake in LNG Phase 2? After 15 years of planning, Indigenous partners will help steward the project. Canada can be a reliable supplier of LNG, electricity, and hydrogen if we seize the moment.

As the Alberta referendum looms, a message has been sent: some Albertans are unhappy in Canada. Looking at Russia’s illegal occupation of Ukraine, are we sending a message to our southern neighbour by entertaining U.S. interference? #riskybusiness

The security of the Arctic is facing increasing risks, with encroachment by Russia and threats from the USA. Canada must work more closely with allies to protect the Arctic. Canada's presence in Iceland this week highlights the importance of cooperation, readiness in the Arctic.

Today, on World Habitat Day, we reflect on the state of our human and natural habitats. Protecting our waters and marine life is essential as we grow our economy. As climate change creates urban heat zones, we are building resilient communities for all.

Our government is investing $66.3 million in 162 projects across Canada to help Canadians access home energy upgrades that lower costs, improve comfort, and reduce emissions. Making homes more energy efficient means lower bills, more affordable housing, and stronger communities 🏡🇨🇦

I do not interfere in provincial or municipal politics, but I feel compelled to speak out against homophobic comments. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees equal rights for all Canadians. Those seeking to represent British Columbians should uphold the rule of law and equality for all.

My condlences to the families of two elders at the Tsawwassen Truth and Reconciliation ceremony in Delta BC. What a tragic accident, the driver suffered a medical emergency that put his car out of control.

Inspired by Survivor Phyllis Webstad, whose orange shirt was taken at residential school, Orange Shirt Day honours survivors and symbolizes resilience, remembrance, and reconciliation.

On Truth and Reconciliation Day, we honour Indigenous children taken to residential schools, remember those who never returned, and commit to justice, dignity, and healing. #EveryChildMatters
