Good work, Minister Sidhu. The photo below may not show it, but this news is especially important for an agricultural province like Saskatchewan (as well as seafood exporters).

The spooky season begins tomorrow with Hallowe’en (and the CFL payoffs), followed by the chaos of time changes as DST ends (fall back an hour) in some places, and then Trump’s Mid-Terms Nov3. By Thursday, we’ll need the uplift of a cheerful Federal Budget.🍁

[Ralph Goodale @RalphGoodale]

The Prime Minister has had a busy and productive week. In light of the existential threat posed by Mr. Trump’s trade war (and other factors like America’s softness toward Putin), Canada is clearly not just waiting around …

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.

Every loss of life is a tragedy. Canada has done so much to help us protect lives in Ukraine, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and all Canadians following the explosion and fire at the military base in Wainwright. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those lost, and we wish a swift recovery to the injured.

The Economist is always interesting:

Smaller countries need to prepare for a dangerous world. They should look to Canada (and its prime minister) for an answer on what to do https://t.co/ULPbGNUxfc

Good points, @jkenney! Those US farmers and their Congressional reps that you refer to in your point #5 should be just thrilled to become dependent upon Belarus for their potash supplies! Truly bizarre!

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

1) Saskatchewan has the world’s largest potash deposits, producing twice as much potash as Belarus. 85% of US potash imports come from Saskatchewan, efficiently and reliably shipped by rail.

2) Belarus is a brutal dictatorship and puppet state for Vladimir Putin under international (including American) sanctions for gross human rights abuses.

3) Belarusian potash production has been fully contracted to Asian buyers (eg China and India) since the imposition of western sanctions. Belarusian dictator Lukashenko has already said "Even if we wanted to supply somewhere else, Western markets, we just don't have those volumes, everything has been contracted."

4) The US Government does not buy potash. US fertilizer companies and ag producers do. Those private sector buyers have consistently demonstrated their preference for Canadian potash.

5) President Trump tariffed Canadian potash early in 2025, then backed off days later following loud protests from American ag producers and their Congressional representatives.

When I was HC in London, it was a huge honour on this weekend each yr to launch the Terry Fox Run UK - it grew exponentially in venues/participants - due to its passionate volunteer organizers, the huge importance of the cause, and the inspiration of a magnificent young Canadian!

#OnThisDay - September 19, 1980

Terry became the youngest Companion of the Order of Canada in a special ceremony in his hometown of Port Coquitlam, BC. ❤️🇨🇦

In Regina today, at RCMP Depot Division, I was honoured to join Hon. Ruby Sahota, Secretary of State, in memorial events in tribute to all RCMP members who have given their lives in the line of duty - 251 of them since the force was established in 1873. #DutyHonourGratitude🍁

Вдячна Канаді за ключову роль у Міжнародній коаліції за повернення українських дітей. Говорили про це під час зустрічі з дружиною Прем’єр-міністра Діаною Фокс Карні. Завдяки ініціативі Президента України Bring Kids Back UA та міжнародній співпраці вже вдалося повернути 2525 дітей і молодих людей з окупації та РФ. Також запросила пані Діану долучитися до спеціального заходу Саміту перших леді та джентльменів на полях Генеральної Асамблеї ООН у Нью-Йорку. Впевнена: якщо будемо єднати зусилля заради дітей і справедливості, жодне зло не зможе зламати нашу стійкість.

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

Remembering all those affected by the tragic events of 9/11, 25 years ago today.

A commemorative Guard Change took place on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace this morning, during which The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester took the Royal Salute on behalf of The King.

The ceremony included performances of both US and UK National Anthems, Hymn to the Fallen and Amazing Grace.

Earlier this year, Their Majesties paid their respects at the 9/11 Memorial in New York, as part of the State Visit to the United States.

[Ralph Goodale @RalphGoodale]

Well said:

[The Royal Canadian Legion @RoyalCdnLegion]

Today, we pause to remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and honour the innocent lives lost, including Canadian citizens. We also reflect on the bravery of the first responders who intervened that day and in the days to come.

[Ralph Goodale @RalphGoodale]

For much of the time I was stationed in the UK, the musical “Come From Away” was playing to packed houses in London’s West End. More than any adroit act of diplomacy, this performance about the heart, human instincts and basic decency of Canadians speaks volumes about who we are!

A memorable Lady whose impact endures!

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

Today we remember Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who died four years ago, on this day in 2022.

As a royal church, Westminster Abbey had a special relationship with the Queen. Over the course of her life, she came here often for state occasions and national services, and some of the most important moments of her life took place here.

'Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven'
