Canada’s Somali community has made remarkable contributions to our country and continues to enrich every aspect of Canadian life.
From entrepreneurs creating jobs, to healthcare professionals caring for our families, to teachers, public servants, community leaders, athletes, artists, and small business owners, Somali Canadians have helped build stronger communities from coast to coast.
Their story is also a Canadian success story, one of hard work, resilience, family values, and a commitment to giving back.
We see that success in businesses founded and led by Somali Canadians, including Karma Food Co., known for its healthy food products, The Village Grocer Inc., which has become a well known grocery retailer, and numerous transportation, logistics, technology, real estate, and financial services businesses that contribute millions of dollars to the Canadian economy and create jobs in communities across the country.
We also see it in the achievements of prominent Somali Canadians such as Ahmed Hussen, who arrived in Canada as a refugee and went on to serve as a federal cabinet minister; Hodan Nalayeh, the celebrated journalist and storyteller who helped share the stories of Somalis around the world; Faisal Hassan, one of the first Somali Canadian Members of Provincial Parliament in Ontario; and Mustafa Farah, whose community leadership and advocacy have helped strengthen opportunities for young Canadians.
Canada is stronger because of the diversity, talent, and contributions of Somali Canadians. Today, we celebrate a community that continues to help shape the future of our country for the better.
Thank you for all that you do.
Hoy, vimos uno de los grandes cambios introducidos por FIFA para el Mundial.
Al momento del himno, se forman no solo los titulares de los equipos, sino todos los jugadores convocados.
La idea fue de Alessandro Del Piero, quien dijo que todos los mundialistas, incluyendo suplentes, merecen vivir el momento del himno de su país en el centro del campo.
Cuenta Del Piero que le dolió no haber estado con sus compañeros en el himno de su país en aquella semi del Mundial 2006 vs Alemania donde fue suplente, entró y fue figura.
FIFA aceptó y así será durante todo el torneo.
Todos vivirán ese momento abrazados, ante el mundo. Como debe ser.
"Infantino is such a groveller."
@mikeparry8 responds to the US alleging that barred referee Omar Artan had "terror links", and the FIFA President telling everyone to "chill" despite mounting World Cup issues.

Şam ve Beyrut, İstanbul’un iki kardeş şehridir.
Türkiye’nin güvenliği sadece Hatay’dan değil; Halep’ten başlar, Şam’dan başlar, Beyrut’tan başlar.
Kardeşlerimizin ülkelerinde hiçbir emrivakiye müsamaha göstermeyiz, kardeşlerimize yönelik hiçbir saldırıya göz yummayız.
Gary Neville calls out America for barring Omar Artan from the World Cup.
"When your hosting the world Cup, your effectively giving over your land to the world of football..we need tolerance and to be fair.."
Preach Gary! Never stop calling wrongs out
Kenyan President William Ruto and other African leaders heavily criticized the United States for denying entry to award-winning Somali referee Omar Artan, preventing him from officiating at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Artan, named Africa's 2025 Referee of the Year, was turned back by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at Miami International Airport due to vetting concerns.
🚨 UEFA has appointed Somali referee Omar Artan to take charge of the 2026 UEFA Super Cup on 12th August in Salzburg.
The match will see Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain face Europa League winners Aston Villa.
Despite his relatively young age, Artan has emerged as one of the leading referees in world football and has been a FIFA-listed international official since 2018.

Akdeniz’de, özellikle Kıbrıs Adası’nda bir fitne ateşinin yakılmak istendiğini görüyoruz; bu gelişmeleri yakından takip ediyoruz.
Çok açık söylüyorum:
Eğer Doğu Akdeniz’de Türkiye’nin ve Kıbrıs Türkü’nün hak ve hukukuna kastedilirse cevabımız çok net olur, çok da sert olur.
