As a former UN ambassador, I know one way we could tell Donald Trump what Canada stands for
Mark Carney has called the current crisis a point of rupture, and he is right. Someone completely new has moved in next door.

Just remember, the US violated their own trade agreement by putting in place illegal tariffs on Canada. That's why we are where we are. This is all initiated by the current American administration, originally by claiming we were flooding the US with fentynal. #uspoli #cdnpoli #BuyCanadian #USLies

There is no reasoning with republicans. Seeing how this administration is holding the Gordie Howe International Bridge hostage, after Canada mostly paid for the entire project. Now republicans want to try to STEAL an international bridge, should teach people who we're dealing with here at home.

On D-Day, 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. The day saw 1,074 Canadian casualties, including 359 killed. It was a watershed moment in human history. Here are some of the Canadian stories from that day. 📸 LAC 🧵1/12
Black-and-white photo of Canadian soldiers packed into a landing craft on D-Day. Several soldiers wear helmets and heavy gear, with some facing forward toward rough water and a distant naval vessel. The backs of soldiers near the bow show markings on their jackets. Waves rise along the side of the craft as it moves through the water.
