Southeast Asia is a rapidly growing, $5 trillion economy.

Canada is working to finalise a new Canada-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement — a partnership that would create huge opportunities for workers and businesses on both sides of the Pacific.

Canada and the Philippines have a close relationship — a bond that is strengthened by the one million-strong Filipino-Canadian community.

President Marcos Jr. and I are focused on negotiating free trade agreements and strengthening defence cooperation between our nations.

ICYMI: new from me. This feels extra pertinent today after the extra 10 percent in love that his tangerine majesty showered on Canada yesterday.

It took me a while to work it out, but I think Carney’s entire political career is about timing - friendly and not. Also, there is a tiny inconsequential Easter egg in this column that pleases me greatly and I hope at least one person clocks it. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

Opinion: Timing has worked wildly in Mark Carney’s favour before, but now he has a problem

Issues that took decades to build up can’t be fixed quickly

Today, @alberta.ca presented a backwards-looking economic vision, despite having all it needs to prosper in the booming clean energy economy:

🔧 A skilled workforce
☀️ Abundant wind & sun
💡 A history of tech innovation

Will AB join Canada in the future, or get left behind? #abpoli

Rally for public education today! Lots of folks.
From what I’ve heard while here, Teachers and their allies will not back down until classroom size and complexity is addressed. they should be paid what they deserve for the work they do. No more cuts!

Representing you in this chamber is an incredible honour of a lifetime and a responsibility that I’m deeply grateful for.

Thank you, Alberta.

Our healthcare system is being deliberately dismantled.

✖️ Fragmenting services.
✖️ Diverting public funds to for-profit corps.
✖️ Ignoring and alienating our health experts.

Market-driven care creates inequity and costs more to the public.

We must reverse this UCP dangerous course.

To build the Canada we want for ourselves, we have to make responsible choices and bet big on Canadians.

We’re going to cut waste and spend less on government operations — so we can make the big investments that will grow our economy and create new opportunities for Canadians.

@mark-carney.bsky.social this shouldn’t be allowed. Health care is a privilege past generations fought for, and is a Canadian value. Paying for the shot is bad enough, but now they are charging an admin fee? Disgusting and not the CDN way.
