Thrilled to join Calgary’s Vietnamese community at the completion of the magnificent Journey to Freedom park and monument, made possible thanks to support from @YourAlberta.
The park commemorates the inspiring story of the Vietnamese Boat People who started new lives in Canada.
Was honoured at a moving event where Canada’s Vietnamese community thanked me for my work as Immigration Minister to resettle hundreds of Vietnamese refugees who fled Communism, & had been stranded in Southeast Asia for decades.
It was touching to meet many of the refugees, and see how well they have integrated into Canadian society.
🌏 From Kenya to Kiribati, Canada to Cameroon: wishing everyone from the 56 nations of the Commonwealth a very happy Commonwealth Day today!
The day will be marked with a service at Westminster Abbey, the launch of The King’s Baton Relay and the countdown to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games and the presentation of the inaugural Commonwealth Peace Prize.
The iconic #Canadian flag was first raised in 1965, and it represents the values we all cherish: generosity, openness, respect and equality! Share your pride and drop your photos of #Canada’s flag raised in your area! #CanadianFlag 🇨🇦

Feb 26 is #PinkShirtDay in Canada - a day for Canadians to take a stand against bullying and wear pink shirts to show their support for safe and inclusive schools, workplaces and communities. 🇨🇦👚💗
Also known as Anti-Bullying Day, the initiative was started in Canada in 2007 by two teenagers from Berwick, Nova Scotia when a fellow Grade 9 student was being teased and bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school.

it is unacceptable for a man in a relationship to flirt with any other woman, even dropping hints is considered cheating, do yourself a favor and leave that man if he does so.
