Congratulations to Toronto’s SickKids Hospital: the world’s best children’s hospital for the second year in a row.

Canada’s health care system is one of our greatest strengths. It’s a reflection of our values — powered by the incredible nurses, doctors, researchers, and staff who deliver world-class, life-saving care every day.

Be Carney

Born in Northwest Territories, grew up in Edmonton, alma mater at Harvard and Oxford

Professional career: starts at Goldman where he rose to MD of investment banking, then joins Bank of Canada where he became the youngest central banker in G20

As governor, credited for helping Canada navigate the 2008 financial crisis incredibly well

Becomes the governor of Bank of England, first non-Brit to do so. Provided 'steady the ship' mentality during Brexit and big political and economic uncertainty in the UK during his tenure.

Now Canada's most well-liked PM. It's amazing to see an experienced and steady leader bringing competence, class and diplomacy back into politics. Proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦

🇩🇪 Le chancelier allemand Friedrich Merz :

« Aucun hôpital, aucune maison de retraite, aucun chantier, aucun restaurant, aucun hôtel ne pourrait fonctionner aujourd’hui sans les immigrés qui vivent en Allemagne depuis des décennies, qui y travaillent et qui sont pleinement intégrés à la société.

Nous voulons que ces personnes fassent partie de notre pays. C’est pourquoi l’hostilité envers les étrangers n’a pas sa place en Allemagne. »

Mark Carney: "This is about sovereignty. Our ability to live as we wish. It's about the freedoms we must fight for every day. Because sovereignty requires resilience, the ability to withstand shocks. Canada and Europe are each strong. Europe and Canada are stronger together."

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Mark Carney: "We do not seek power to dominate others. On the contrary, we are pursuing resilience so no one, no one can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies, our rule of law."
