On this Truth and Reconciliation Day, we stand with the survivors of residential schools and honour the memories of those who didn’t make it home.
En cette Journée de la vérité et de la réconciliation, nous sommes de tout cœur avec les survivants et survivantes des pensionnats pour Autochtones, et nous honorons la mémoire de ceux et celles qui ne sont jamais revenus chez eux.
These people are beneath contempt. And on this week of all weeks. I stand with Indigenous peoples and residential school survivors, and I condemn this hatred in the strongest possible terms.
Amid the horror of that day, there was also this: the enduring friendship between Canadians and Americans, on full display in Gander, NL, where thousands of stranded passengers found homes, meals, and open arms from people who asked for nothing in return.
It was Canada answering the call, as we always have, and as we did again in Afghanistan, standing shoulder to shoulder with our American neighbours, where 158 Canadians paid the ultimate price. They knew we are stronger, better and freer when we stand united to protect our shared values from those who would destroy them. We must never forget it.

This photo holds a morning that started like any other, and ended as the day the world changed forever.
25 years on, we must never let the memory of 9/11 fade into abstraction, and never soften the truth of what it was: an attack against our way of life, our freedom, our democracy, our equality. The deadliest act of terrorism in history that took nearly 3,000 lives, 24 of them Canadian, and left countless more still carrying its scars today. (1/1)
Je le dis souvent : l’histoire se répète. Alors, regardons un peu en arrière.
Le 12 mars 2003, Bernard Landry déclenche les élections au Québec.
Huit jours plus tard, le 20 mars, la guerre en Irak éclate.
Et que fait le chef du Parti québécois?
Il suspend sa campagne électorale et remet son chapeau de premier ministre. Bernard Landry annonce alors la mise sur pied d’un comité spécial du gouvernement chargé d’assurer la sécurité publique, sociale et économique du Québec.
Le reportage de l’époque précise même que les autres chefs de parti ont salué sa démarche.
Aujourd’hui, le PQ parle de détournement.
Alors, que diraient les péquistes de 2026 aux péquistes de 2003?
Parce qu’en 2003, soyons sérieux : le gouvernement du Québec avait très peu de leviers directs sur une guerre menée en Irak. En 2026, face à une guerre commerciale déclenchée par Donald Trump, c’est exactement l’inverse : Québec a un rôle absolument majeur à jouer pour protéger nos entreprises, nos emplois, nos travailleurs, nos secteurs stratégiques et, ultimement, l’économie des Québécois.
Si suspendre momentanément une campagne était justifié en 2003 pour une guerre à des milliers de kilomètres, il est difficile de soutenir que ce serait aujourd’hui un « détournement » lorsqu’une guerre commerciale frappe directement l’économie du Québec.
Quand les circonstances l’exigent, un premier ministre demeure d’abord un premier ministre.
“On an issue as consequential as our trade relationships with our largest trading partner, meaningful parliamentary oversight is essential,” said Housakos.

Dolly Parton says she cried all night after refusing to give Elvis 50% of her publishing rights for I Will Always Love You.
“I can’t give you half of a copyright that’s already proved itself.”
“When you’re a writer and when you’re a publisher, your copyrights, that is what you leave for your family.”
“I cried all night, I just had to make a business decision.”
“Elvis wanted to record it, they had invited me down to the session if I wanted to come.”
“No, I can’t give you half of the copyright.”
“I felt terrible, because I had to say no.”

Corporate subsidies have more than tripled since 2015, but productivity has failed to keep pace.
The Liberal government should foster competition, not dependence on subsidies.
