This Filipino Heritage Month, we recognize the achievements of Filipino Canadians who continue to strengthen our country through leadership, and public service.

We’re delivering on our commitment to the people of Tumbler Ridge.

Following the unimaginable tragedy earlier this year, the federal and B.C. governments are investing $200 million to build a new school and modernize the community’s health-care centre. Work on the new school will begin this summer.

This is about supporting students, families, educators, and first responders, and helping a community heal, rebuild, and move forward together.

Together with Premier Eby, PM Carney announced a historic Canada–B.C. partnership that will deliver over $5B in federal infrastructure investments supporting affordable housing, hospitals, transit, and stronger communities across our province.

From Surrey to Prince Rupert, we’re creating good jobs, lowering costs, and building the infrastructure British Columbians need 🇨🇦🍁 #BuildCanada #BC

Canada is strengthening its cyber defences. Now that Bill C-8 passed the Senate, it is now Law. We’re taking action to protect critical infrastructure, secure our telecommunications networks, and safeguard the services Canadians rely on every day. This legislation will keep Canadians safe, protect our economy, and build a more resilient digital future. #CyberSecurity #CdnPoli

Great meeting with Pauline from the Terry Fox Foundation to discuss the Terry Fox Humanitarian Awards. Terry Fox remains an international hero whose legacy continues to inspire Canadians and the world. The awards provide up to $28,000 over four years to graduating high school and CEGEP students, as well as first-year post-secondary students, who demonstrate leadership, perseverance, and a commitment to helping others. 🇨🇦

Helping forestry dependent communities survive Trump tariffs is a fed govt priority, as well as direct assistance to the industry.

The fed govt will invest over $130 million for 56 forestry projects cross-Canada to produce value-added wood products, expand use of Canadian wood in construction, support Indigenous opportunities,& create jobs. This will strengthen the long-term competitiveness of Canada’s forest sector.

In light of the increase in marine traffick in our coastal waters, the federal government commits 258 million dollars to enhance protection of whales. It will address ship strikes, underwater noise, entanglement by vessels and nets as well as habitat protection.

Parents deserve peace of mind knowing their children are protected online.

That's why our government has introduced the proposed Safe Social Media Act, which would require platforms to better address harmful content, strengthen safeguards for young users, and put children's safety first.

This National Indigenous History Month, we recognize the contributions of Dr Willie Littlechild, Cree leader, lawyer & former MP. He was one of the authors of The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which Canada championed.

His leadership has helped advance understanding, recognition, and respect for Indigenous peoples in Canada and around the world.

I spoke with the Premiers today about U.S. trade negotiations, our energy security, and Canadian priorities for the upcoming G7. As Canada faces an increasingly uncertain world, our unity is our greatest strength.

PM Carney on combatting surveillance pricing: We made the commitment in the AI strategy that we're going to protect your data. And this is part of protecting your data and how your data is used. Surveillance pricing is an example of using data in a way that can be adverse to the interests of Canadians.

[Dr. Hedy Fry @HedyFry]

The time has come.. Canada embraces its destiny as a world leader. Sir Wilfred Laurier liberal PM used to say the 20th century will belong to Canada. He was wrong by a century. So @MarkJCarney picked up that vision and planted it firmly 0n the global stage at Davos and has been “making it so” since.

Public safety remains our gov’ts priority.

Canada is extending the amnesty order for prohibited assault-style firearms while the Supreme Court challenge proceeds. The amnesty is expected to remain in place until at least 2027, with the formal timeline set at 90 days following a Supreme Court decision.

The voluntary buyback program continues, with more than 67,000 firearms enrolled and approximately 12,000 already destroyed.
