We will remember them

Thrilled to join a team of nation-builders at Catalyze4, to help firms ready to seize the opportunities in Canada's new role in the global economy. The government has set out a plan spending to catalyze $1T in private investment. I'll lend my help on defence, tech and innovation

An intellectual tour de force by U of at Law prof Douglas Sanderson today on the nation-to-nation relations that dominated Indigeous/settler relations prior to Confederation. Since then, “the problem is not colonialism, it is nationalism”

So proud of Maria Corina and the entire Venezuelan democracy movement for the recognition the world has given them today with the Nobel Peace Prize.

And proud of the stand Canada has always taken for solidarity with the people of Venezuela in their pursuit of freedom.

Congratulations to artist Amy Sherald for her courage in objecting to censorship of her work "Trans Forming Liberty" at the Smithsonian. Celebrations of freedom should never be censored

I accepted this gift on behalf of all the Remembering Project volunteers who helped us contribute to the historical record about the Spanish Indian Residential School. Working side by side with First Nations communities to learn the truth about the harm caused by forced assimilation

At last night’s Calgary Stampede we participated in the most patriotic celebration of our country I’ve ever witnessed. It shows what opportunistic BS the threat of Alberta separatism really by the politicians who invoke it

Such an honour to offer the land acknowledgment at Toronto Pride’s Church on Church service. I acknowledged the wisdom of Haudenosaunee diplomatic practices that helped build peaceful coexistence - traditions of inclusion that influenced how our country evolved

At CBC Montreal today I came across the studio where the CBC broadcasts in the Cree language throughout northern Quebec

We are about to run “Canadians in Conversation” on the divisive issue of residential school, at Democracy XChange 25. Can citizens have meaningful conversations on the issues that divide us as a nation? We’ll find out this afternoon

Amid the crisis engulfing our sovereignty I paid my respects to the seat of our democracy today. I love that it is so obviously a “work in progress.” With the wave of patriotism from coast to coast, we Canadians are working on it together

As the U.S. economic attack on Canada begins, I find myself among the Anishinabek of Fort William First Nation. The elder opening our event today provided context, saying this is not the first time the people of this land have been hit by repressive economic measures imposed from outside.

Patriotism at my local cafe this afternoon

On CBC Metro Morning this morning, I warned that the fentanyl measures Canada agreed to yesterday must be the last unilateral concession we make to the Trump administration. We have 29 days to figure out how to hit back harder

Chrystia Freeland at her campaign launch: “If you force our hand we will inflict the largest trade blow the U.S. has ever endured”

An opportunity for all of us who want to remember Canada's history: The paper version of the Great Peace of Montreal will be travelling to Montreal in 2026. Signed in 1701 and recorded in wampum as well as paper, this treaty put an end to constant war since the Europeans had arrived 90 years before

This Christmas morning, I’m grateful for the land that we get to share with all that live here. Let us embrace our relationship with it and with each other

Our final day of training in research to help survivors find the children who did not survive the Spanish #residentialschool. We begin the day with ceremony, learning from the same culture our predecessors tried to erase

Our volunteers are back at the site of the Spanish Residential School, paying respects to the children who died here.
