Waiting on the budget feels like the 9th inning of a Jays World Series game, the tension rising, everyone watching, all of us holding our breath to see if the Minister of Finance hits a home run or throws a curveball.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution — an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.

My statement on Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state:

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

"We want to make sure that we defend who we are as a country. And we've been shown too much disrespect by the Trump administration at this point." Canada’s Foreign Minister @melaniejoly forcefully pushes back on pressure from the US.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with Canada’s Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau.

I am grateful for his kind words about Ukraine’s team at the Invictus Games and for supporting our resilient warriors. This means a lot to us. We will never forget what the people of Canada have done for Ukraine and our shared future.

Justin informed me about his recent online meeting with European leaders. A united position is the key to ensuring a lasting peace.

We discussed many important issues, including continued military support, energy cooperation, sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet and energy sector, and the use of frozen Russian assets.

We greatly value Canada’s G7 presidency this year and count on its leadership.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Grateful for our Canadian neighbors as they lend a helping hand in our time of need.

Hello @GregFergus , my Aylmer MP. I have been trying to reaching out to your local office, without much success. Hoping to hear back soon. Thank you.

[Mélanie Joly @melaniejoly]

🇨🇦 strongly condemns the extremist settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and is gravely concerned by reports of Palestinian communities being forcibly removed from their lands.

This violence negatively impacts efforts to achieve a negotiated two-state solution.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

The same fundamental aspirations reverberate across both the United States and Canada.

To live in freedom – with dignity.
To relentlessly pursue the possibilities of tomorrow.
To leave for our children and grandchildren a future that is better because of our efforts.

@olivier27 ..and after 7 years still not a hair out of place. Look forward to hearing about your next adventure.

So cute, but to be honest, I didn't know this marvellous creature even existed until about 5 mins ago.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

In two days time, on 18 May, it's International Day for Women in Maritime. Let's hear from another leader in maritime about what she enjoys most in her work. #WomenInMaritimeDay

[Tor Wennesland @TWennesland]

(1/2) I strongly condemn the killing of Al-Jazeera’s reporter, Shireen Abu Aqla, who was shot with live fire this morning while covering an #Israel|i security forces’ operation in #Jenin, in occupied West Bank.

[International Maritime Organization @IMOHQ]

Our 1st International Day for Women in Maritime is around the corner. To celebrate we are sharing profiles of women making a difference in #maritime. Meet Gillian Grant who has been elected as the first female Chair of IMO's Legal Committee. #WomenInMaritimeDay @Transport_gc

If the goal was to foster distrust in your highest authority, consider that objective met. This is more appalling than a leaked Supreme Court document #RoweVsWade

[The Associated Press @AP]

The leak of an apparent Supreme Court draft opinion in a major abortion case comes as a shock. The draft suggests the court could be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.

All Canadians—especially all Canadian women who care about a woman’s right to choose—need to be active, vigilant, and speak out.

See my comments from today:

[Laura May Roth 🇨🇦 @_LMay_]

We can and need to do better than this, Canada.

[Farrah Khan @farrahsafiakhan]

A reminder that although abortion is decriminalized in Canada, ACCESS to abortion is still a HUGE problem across the country. Some provinces and territories have a handful (sometimes even ONE) providers. #Cdnpoli #Abortion Chart c/o @actioncanadashr https://t.co/LD2peOoMZi
