I first met Jeremy when he was an RMC cadet in the 90s, and then when we selected him as one of Canada's new astronauts in 2009. His recent voyage around the Moon was an inspiration to millions; the direct result of decades of hard and dangerous work. Thanks, Jeremy for your 32 years of service, welcome home, and I can't wait to see all you'll do next!
Today, I am sharing a significant next step in my journey. This September, after 32 years of military service and 17 years as a Canadian Space Agency astronaut—culminating in the incredible privilege of flying around the Moon on Artemis II—I will be transitioning from my full-time role at the CSA.
This is far from a departure. My commitment to seeing Canada thrive remains absolute. To ensure continuity in this mission, the Royal Canadian Air Force is enabling my transition into a Reservist role. This unique position is a deliberate launchpad designed to leave the door open for creative, ongoing ways to support and enable the vital work happening in Canada with respect to space, and I’m excited for the new challenges it will bring.
Our future depends on a fierce continuation of Canadian innovation and exploration in space. The technological breakthroughs and economic benefits born from this sector are vital for our country and the world, and I am as determined as ever to push that work forward.
To the Canadian Armed Forces, the CSA, NASA, our international partners, and my family: thank you. And to all Canadians: thank you for believing in what our country can achieve when we aim high.
The mission continues. 🇨🇦
Great conversations start with people coming together. All summer long we're hosting events across this amazing province where Ontario Liberals can meet leadership candidates, connect with fellow members, ask questions, and share ideas.
📍Up first: Scarborough, at The Guild Inn Estate. Sunday, July 12, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Register today at the link in bio!
On my Northeastern Ontario tour, I was grateful to spend time in Timmins meeting with Mayor Michelle Boileau and Kaitlin Wheeler, President of the Chamber of Commerce. I also joined a local community event with supporters, and visited Moonbeam and the Hollinger Mine!
Across these conversations, a clear picture emerged: people are feeling the strain of long hospital wait times, growing pressure in our classrooms, road safety concerns, and the need to better support local businesses that keep these communities going.
Northeastern Ontario has been neglected for far too long. It's time for a government that understands these realities and will improve everyday life across the Northeast.
That’s what I’m working toward for Ontario. Join our movement: https://t.co/zQB3DGVHFj

I wish Canada, Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, and all Canadians a Happy Canada Day. Ukraine joins you in celebrating this day. We appreciate Canada’s leadership in helping us protect the lives of our people across many domains: defense assistance, pioneering work on sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet and financial sector, diplomatic advocacy, and much more. We are grateful that we can count on your continued support in all these areas. Thank you, Canada!
I genuinely think this is why the PQ opposes high speed rail despite its popularity—they know further integration, even if very beneficial, will promote unity and hurt seperatist sentiment
“Whatever you do, adhere to the union. We are a great country, and shall become one of the greatest in the universe if we preserve it.”
(Sir John A Macdonald)

Devastating news out of Venezuela. My thoughts are with everyone who has lost loved ones, and the rescuers working around the clock. To Venezuelan families here in London and across SW Ontario who are anxiously waiting on news from home, you are not alone. Canada stands with you.
I’m gearing up for my next big adventure in early July: eight days criss-crossing Northeastern Ontario.
This summer, I’m continuing to hit the road. I’ve got big plans for real conversations in your communities.
My goal is to visit all 124 ridings. In a few weeks I’ll reach the half-way mark!
Visit https://t.co/zQB3DGWfuR for updates and see us when we’re in your area.

Joyeuse fête de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste à nos amis du Québec !
Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons bien plus qu’une langue ; nous célébrons une communauté, une culture et un avenir commun.
La francophonie du sud-ouest de l’Ontario est dynamique, forte et florissante.
