Today, we raised the Pride flag on Parliament Hill — a symbol of belonging, an act of vigilance, and a beacon to all those who are not yet free.
It reminds us that with our freedom comes responsibility — to keep building a better, more just Canada.
Canada continues to oppose the expansion of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Today, together with Australia, France, Norway and the U.K., we announced coordinated sanctions targeting those supporting extremist settler violence against Palestinian civilians. As we impose this fifth round of sanctions, we remain committed to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace where Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security.

#Canada#jobs boosted by full time employment
“The number of people working full-time rose by 154,000 (+0.9%) in May”
And private (+56,000) beat public (+20,000)
Construction and Ontario led the way
Wages +3% below estimates but still….
Wonderful to see the Progress Pride Flag flying over campus.

CJPME is deeply concerned about the widespread racism that has ensued following Prime Minister Carney's announcement of a new Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality, and Inclusion. We condemn the attacks on former Minister Omar Alghabra, who is facing smears from extremist pro-Israel voices, including Israeli news outlets, who are attacking his Muslim faith and Arab background, and demonizing his support for Palestinian rights. These attacks demonstrate the intertwined use of Islamophobia, anti-Arab racism, and anti-Palestinian racism, and are attempts to exclude Arab and Muslim voices from national conversations on racism and hate. These attacks must be firmly rejected by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Miller.

🚨A heated argument between Trump and a journalist led to Trump completely losing his temper and viciously attacking the journalist:
🔴“You are the enemy!” In a tense scene, Trump shouted at the journalist, demanding that his microphone be cut off immediately and calling him “rude and horrible.”
🔴He said that CNN should be ashamed of him!
🔴The journalist tried to confront him with direct questions, at which point Trump exploded and reverted to his old tactic: “The media is the enemy of the people!”
🔴A fierce dispute reveals Trump’s anger at any question that criticizes him.
🔴Is the era of “war on the media” returning?
This morning, Pete Hoekstra, @USAmbCanada, used his official account to push the 51st state idea.
He's downplayed that in the past, now he's pushing it.
If this is what he believes, perhaps it's time for the Carney government to ask him to leave.
