I'm very excited to share that we have established the First Lake Solutions Award in Political Management for students of the @RiddellMPM! The program has given me a lot and I am very lucky to be able to give back in this way.

Tariffs are weakening North America’s auto industry at the very moment Chinese vehicle exports are surging.

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

Nobody says “I understand what you’re saying!” More than a group of dudes who have no idea what each other are saying.

I was just standing in the deli section of the grocery store. One of the staff looked me up and down, then walked over to the rotisserie chickens, pointed at the shelf and said “these ones came out five minutes ago.”

I am grateful to Prime Minister @MarkJCarney for his invitation to Canada. We have begun our bilateral visit and very substantive talks.

We have built excellent relations between our nations and strong, reliable relations between our governments. I am grateful for every package of assistance and for everything Canada has done throughout this war. We truly appreciate it. To achieve peace, we need to be strong. We need a strong and lasting peace for our country. And we are grateful to have such strong friends as Canada with us on this path.

Today, we are discussing the winter support package and energy. This is very important. Today, we have a significant decision from Canada – a very important assistance package for air defense. There is a severe global shortage of such systems and the missiles for them, and we are grateful for this support.

I am very glad to be here among friends. Thank you for your support – support for Ukraine, Ukrainians, our children, our sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Remembering 9/11: When Gander provided safe haven in a time of crisis https://t.co/CYCZMIGzCN

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

The small town of Gander in the Canadian province of Newfoundland saw its population virtually double when U.S. airspace was closed on 9/11, grounding 38 international flights on an island in the Atlantic Ocean.

For five days, Newfoundlanders gave shelter and comfort to 7,000 stranded passengers and crew members. @conorknighton talks with Newfoundlanders who volunteered during the emergency, whose generosity to the "plane people" inspired the Broadway musical @wecomefromaway.

What it sounds like when 16,000 Canadians just need a moment to belt out the words “out in the middle of Lake Ontario” right now

when people here say modern city life is terrible and we should return to an older, more rustic way of living, this is what i imagine
