PM Carney stood firm in today’s meeting with Trump, declaring: “Canada is not for sale,” after Trump again floated the idea of Canada as the 51st state. The tension underscores the need to safeguard our sovereignty. We must stay united—forever neighbours, never neighbors. 🇨🇦

Canadians care deeply about Canada and our flag stands for kindness, freedom, and quiet strength 🇨🇦

Elbows Up was never about a single moment. It’s a movement for those who value integrity, accountability, and the belief that we’re stronger when we stand together—not against each other.

You’ve seen it, maybe said it—but do you know the meaning? #ElbowsUp draws from hockey legend Gordie Howe.

Now, it's a rallying cry for Canadians to stand firm, defend our values, and reject outside interference. It’s about unity, resilience, and asserting our sovereignty.

This sweet moment of Gabrielle Rose (3) of Gatineau, Quebec singing O Canada.
Her parents told us she first heard the anthem during a Four Nations Face-Off game, where Canadians sang proudly.
That moment stuck with her—and now, here she is, singing it beautifully in our nation’s capital.🍁

We’ve crowded streets to raise our elbows. 
We’ve shown up. We’ve stood tall. We’ve linked arms.
Every rally. Every step. Every voice. 
This is not just a moment—it’s a movement. 
Proof that when Canadians come together, we’re unshakable.
This isn’t the end of the road. It’s just the beginning.🍁
