Just a quick reminder, as Canadian #ResidentialSchools are back in the news, that it is not an Indigenous Person's duty to educate you. Please educate yourself on these issues before reaching out. Even then understand not every Indig person is an expert or wanting to engage

This is truly heartfelt! For years, the Princess Pats were intensely engaged at British Army bases helping prepare thousands of Ukrainian troops to defend their country against Russian aggression. The quality of that training is a key reason why the Russians have been stalled.

[Ralph Goodale @RalphGoodale]

Interesting and important.

Keep calm, carry on, stay focused on what really matters.

There it is residents of Regina-Qu'Appelle he does not work for you, he works for his party. So let's find anyone to represent this great part of the nation better than this lying sack of inhumanity. #honk

We honour the brave Indigenous veterans who served with strength and pride. Your stories matter! Your sacrifices are remembered! #IndigenousVeteransDay #USask #indigenousrese

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we acknowledge the remarkable Indigenous visitors we’ve had at Canada House, like Chief Willie Littlechild (in Feb for a Commonwealth Games ceremony). And recently, 2 business delegations working on Indigenous investment opportunities. #NIPD

Please take a high school social studies class. I will chip in to help pay for it #cdnpolitics

Absolutely WILD that only Liberals are authorized to VOTE for our next Prime Minister of Canada 🇨🇦 Anyone supporting this does NOT believe in Democracy

A remarkable life, and well-deserved praise that seems to circle the globe and cross partisan divides. #RIP Mr. President

Dr. Pomeroy’s expertise is a vital asset for Canada. We will need the smartest and most nimble management, and ultimately, expansion of the original South Saskatchewan River Project to store water after deluges and utilize it intelligently during droughts.

Hey @JohnMcKayLib - Thank you for remembering John Embury. He was a great strength to me during several portfolios, incl’g Finance. That’s now properly recorded in Hansard, thnx to you & Patrick Durocher. John & I both appreciated all your help/support & your lasting friendship.

[Matty Cool @MattyCool2]

He was a good man

[Ralph Goodale @RalphGoodale]

Thinking tonight of a great friend and colleague from Saskatchewan, John Embury, who has just passed away - far too soon. John was an incisive thinker and masterful communicator with a wicked wit and delightful personality. We’ll miss him deeply. Lots of love to Marjo & family.💔

Had the distinct honour to introduce our Federal Agriculture Minister, Lawrence Macaulay, to the crowd at the Copper Kettle last night.

It was a pleasure to meet and chat with you, Minister.

As in the last two years, our solemn remembrance this year of the Holodomor Genocide in Ukraine (an atrocity committed by Stalin in 1932-33) is tinged by the new agony imposed on Ukraine by Putin’s illegal war of aggression. Ukraine forms the frontline of democracy for everyone.

if any of my US fans voted for fascism, their love of my songs failed them. they didn’t hear the music. 💔

Yesterday, Pat Fiacco endorsed Lori Bresciani. He says she can unite council. I don't think people realize how much Bresciani was an engine for division and delay on council. #yqrcc

It saddens me to learn of a hero, a legend, world changer Justice Murray Sinclair’s passing. As the first Indigenous judge appointed in Manitoba and chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), he fundamentally changed how Canada confronts its history of residential schools and Indigenous relations.

Justice Sinclair led the historic TRC from 2009 to 2015, documenting the devastating impact of residential schools by gathering testimony from over 6,500 survivors. His work brought previously silenced voices to the forefront of Canadian consciousness and resulted in 94 Calls to Action that continue to shape Canada’s path toward reconciliation.

Beyond the TRC, his achievements were remarkable - from his groundbreaking appointment to the bench in 1988 to serving as a respected Senator from 2016-2021. He conducted important inquiries into Indigenous healthcare and justice systems in Manitoba, consistently advocating for systemic change with wisdom, dignity and determination.

A respected Ojibwe leader and mentor, Justice Sinclair helped countless Canadians understand that reconciliation is not just about acknowledging the past, but about creating a better future together. His legacy lives on in Canada’s ongoing journey toward truth, healing and meaningful reconciliation.

Chi-miigwech, Justice Sinclair, for your transformative leadership and unwavering commitment to justice. My loving condolences to his family as they bid goodbye 🪶
