Ravi d’être à Montréal pour le 21ème sommet UE-Canada! Together with @markjcarney and @vonderleyen, we will open a new chapter in our partnership.
More prosperity. More security. More opportunities.
For Europeans, for Canadians.
For our future.
Dolores Huerta was a hero of mine.
When she co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, people thought Dolores was crazy. “How are you going to organize farm workers,” she remembered being asked. "They are poor, powerless immigrants.” But that’s exactly what she did, helping thousands of migrant laborers working in brutal conditions make their voices heard, and demand something better.
Dolores spent the rest of her life fighting for marginalized communities, even as she herself faced sexism and abuse — including, as she revealed earlier this year, from Cesar Chavez and others within her own movement. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede” — Yes, we can — that I too often get credit for. But as usual, Dolores got there first.
Michelle and I are thinking of Dolores’s family, the people whose lives she changed, and everyone who drew inspiration from her example.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.
Vingt-cinq ans.
Le 11 septembre 2001 demeure gravé dans la mémoire du monde.
Nous n’oublions ni les vies fauchées, ni le courage de ceux qui ont tout risqué pour porter secours.
Aux victimes, aux familles, au peuple américain, j’exprime l’hommage de la France et sa fraternité.
Les résultats de l'étude PISA sont alarmants.
Mais il n'y a pas de fatalité. Il suffit d’avoir la force d’agir pour cesser de faire de l’exigence et de l’autorité des gros mots.
L’École, c’est la mère de toutes les batailles.
C’est ma priorité, dans cette campagne comme depuis le début de mon engagement politique. ↴

Écouter Ginette Kolinka, 100 ans cette semaine: l’humour même, plus fort que les haines. Souvenir d’E. Wiesel parlant du traumatisme de la faim avec des survivants du goulag ou de guerres, au coeur des systèmes concentrationnaires ou de terreur.
