Canada is investing in local firefighting capacity by training & supporting volunteers to address threats from wildfires. This is part of a $28 million federal investment through the FMWCC Training Fund to train over 1,000 community-based wildland firefighters by 2028.

Canada is disappointed by the announcement of tariffs on Canadian products by the United States. Our shared border is one of the most secure in the world and we are doing more than ever to keep it that way. https://t.co/KpXV4MtzcF

[Embassy of Canada US @CanEmbUSA]

Canada-U.S. bilateral trade is massive. In 2023, 🇨🇦🇺🇸 trade reached record levels of nearly $1 trillion per year. That’s $2.5 billion every day, or $104 million per hour!

Some well-deserved kudos for my former colleagues at the Library of Parliament @LoPResearch.

[Mercedes Stephenson @MercedesGlobal]

Little shout out to the Library of Parliament. Most folks don't know it exists or that it is actually a functioning institution with really smart researchers. Any Ottawa reporter or political staffer worth their salt can tell you they're an invaluable resource. #cdnpoli

Alex Trebek was a legend of television, a devoted philanthropist, and a proud Canadian. His gift was to instill a love of learning and a pride in knowledge across generations of viewers. He was our friend, and he’ll be missed.

[Jacqueline O'Neill @jacqui_oneill]

Remembering our heroes and a community united. We salute the actions of everyone who responded to the Parliament Hill shootings on Oct 22, 2014.

[Louise Blais @blais_louise]

Yes, quite the moment. A must watch. Worth every second.

"The world is in crisis. And not just because of the last few months. Not just because of COVID-19. But because of the last few decades. And because of us. This is our wake-up call, and we cannot ignore it."

Literacy = Opportunity

On #LiteracyDay, let's speak up for the right to education. All women and girls have the right to learn how to read and write.

[Grantly Franklin @GFranklin_MC]

Extremely grateful to have worked for and to have learned from Ambassador @blanchardCanada.

Meilleurs vœux pour votre prochaine aventure.

[Canada Mission UN @CanadaUN]

Ambassador @BlanchardCanada has been a tireless advocate for Canada at the @UN since 2016. He has inspired all of us at @CanadaUN to take risks, raise our level of ambition, and to have fun while doing it.

#TeamCanada expresses our best wishes and gratitude for his leadership.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

He’ll build on the remarkable work of our outgoing Ambassador, @BlanchardCanada. For more than four years, Marc-André has helped Canada re-engage with our partners and tackle some of the most important challenges of our time. Thank you for your tireless service, Ambassador.

The digital divide—the gap between those who have Internet access and those who don’t—is more like a chasm. How does your country measure up? #IMFBlog #ChartOfTheWeek https://t.co/hjrGxmsner
