Pierre, if you want to run for Calgary city council you should know there's a six-month residency requirement.

In British Columbia, and all across Canada, we’re building more homes, bringing down costs, and transforming the local infrastructure Canadians rely on.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Let’s go, Canada 🇨🇦

[Corey Hogan 🇨🇦 @coreyhoganyyc]

Seems only fair, I was in Battle River-Crowfoot yesterday! PS - they say they haven’t seen you in a while.

[Jonathan Wilkinson 🇨🇦 @JonathanWNV]

Thank you for 11 incredible years of service, friendship, and shared work in Parliament.

Merci pour ces 11 formidables années de service, d’amitié et de travail accompli ensemble au Parlement.

This morning, alongside my colleague Minister Hodgson and Canada’s Chief Trade Negotiator to the U.S., Janice Charette, I met with representatives from Canada’s oil and gas sector as part of our ongoing engagement with Canadian industry ahead of the joint CUSMA review.

Our discussions highlighted opportunities for Canada and the U.S to further strengthen North American energy cooperation, all while ensuring certainty and predictability for Canadian businesses and workers.

[Dominic LeBlanc @DLeBlancNB]

Canada’s government strongly believes that the interests of Albertans and all Canadians are best served when we work together. As one example, Canada and Alberta are now moving forward with a landmark agreement that gives investors certainty and unlocks the full potential of Alberta’s resources in both clean and conventional energy. With this agreement, Prime Minister Carney and Premier Smith are demonstrating that cooperative federalism works — and delivers results.

As we take note of Premier Smith’s address this evening, we remain focused on building a stronger Canada for all, in full partnership with Alberta and to the benefit of all Albertans and all Canadians.

[Dominic LeBlanc @DLeBlancNB]

I was happy to join Prime Minister Carney and Premier Eby in Vancouver today to discuss working together on major projects, infrastructure and clean energy in British Columbia.

I look forward to working with Premier Eby to make British Columbia and Canada stronger.

🇨🇦

J'ai été ravi de me joindre aujourd'hui au premier ministre Carney et au premier ministre Eby à Vancouver pour discuter de notre collaboration sur les grands projets, les infrastructures et les énergies propres en Colombie-Britannique.

J’ai hâte de continuer de travailler avec le premier ministre Eby pour rendre la Colombie-Britannique et le Canada plus résiliants.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

British Columbia is a province of builders and risk-takers. It’s leading the way in clean energy, major infrastructure, and tech.

That spirit is embodied in the Greater Vancouver @BoardOfTrade. This is a room that wants to build big — and we’re going to build with you.

[Braeden Caley @braedencaley]

Extraordinary turnout with PM @MarkJCarney at the Greater Vancouver @BoardofTrade this morning — focused on the huge momentum to build a strong economy for all, here in BC and across Canada

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

When we master energy, we master our destiny.

We’re going to double the capacity of our grid by 2050 — to supply clean, reliable, affordable power across the country.

[Corey Hogan 🇨🇦 @coreyhoganyyc]

In the last few weeks, Alberta separatism has dominated headlines. Whether we like it or not, this debate is here, it's getting louder - and the pro-Canada side needs to show up.

Let's talk about why and how we push back against Alberta separatism and fight for Canada. 🇨🇦

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Canada has what the world wants.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Airbus and AirAsia just signed the biggest order of commercial aircraft in Canadian history.

Canada is building big — and the world wants to build with us.

[Randeep S. Sarai @randeepssarai]

Congratulations to my friend Jonathan on this new appointment. I’ve had the privilege of working with Jonathan for years, and I’m confident he’ll bring strong insight and dedication to this new role. I look forward to continuing to work together to build a better Canada. 🇨🇦🤝🇪🇺

[Liberal Party @liberal_party]

A strong economy creates high-paying jobs, produces the means to take care of each other, and makes us more independent.

We are building a strong economy to build a better future for all Canadians.

[Jonathan Wilkinson 🇨🇦 @JonathanWNV]

Today, I’ve accepted the Prime Minister’s invitation to serve as Canada’s Ambassador to the European Union.

I take on this role for the same reason I entered public life: to serve Canada.

Thank you for your trust, your candour, and your belief that we can always do better.

One year ago I was first elected to serve the people of Calgary Confederation and it has been an incredible honour to serve my constituents and my country.

It is also an incredible responsibility.

The world is as uncertain as it has been in my lifetime - Wars, trade disputes, climate change, misinformation and democratic backsliding to name but a few challenges.

But through these tumultuous times, Canada has persevered – in a way that seemed far from certain a short year ago.

Under the leadership of Mark Carney, trade is diversifying. After twenty new trade and security deals, we have seen non-U.S. exports climb 40%(!) in one year.

Housing is becoming more affordable. House prices are down 20%. Rents are down 9%.

An MOU with Alberta has meant durable climate action, new energy infrastructure. We’ve moved the effective price on carbon from $20 to $130, we’ve locked in methane reduction and we’ve created a consensus that lets us build on what has already become record oil and gas production this year.

Wages are outpacing inflation. In fact, inflation has been within band the entire time Mark Carney has been Prime Minister.

Canada has the highest foreign direct investment in 18 years. On a per person basis, it is the highest in the G7 and twice as high as the next highest country (the U.S.).

We’ve strengthened our military. Military spending has hit our 2% NATO target for the first time in decades – and is well up from a low of under 1% of GDP in 2014-15.

We’ve strengthened our economy. We’ve accelerated billions of dollars in major projects, coordinated out of a major project office headquartered in Calgary.

We have supported affordability and opportunity, community and Canadian culture. I’ve been proud to announce affordable housing, attainable housing, cultural centres and so much more infrastructure for Calgary.

But there’s so much more to do.

More to do on affordability. More to do on safety. More to do on economic opportunity. More to do to strengthen Canada's independence. More to do to combat separatism.

A year ago my election signs read: “Confederation is worth fighting for.”

I believe that with every fibre of my body. I know colleagues throughout the House of Commons do too.

The 45th Parliament was elected at an important time for Canada.

I remain committed to working every day to build a stronger Canada on behalf of the people of Calgary Confederation.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve – it has been the privilege of a lifetime.

[Corey Hogan 🇨🇦 @coreyhoganyyc]

Wages have grown faster than inflation every month Mark Carney has been Prime Minister - great news for Canada.

But why doesn't the Bank of Canada aim for zero inflation, or deflation? And what about sectors with higher inflation or lower wage growth?

Let's jump into it.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

This is our country, this is your future, and we are building it together.
