"We're ready to answer the moment. These are challenging times. Sometimes adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it. This is an opportunity to reveal the character of our nation."
Minister of National Defence @BillBlair's opening keynote at the 2025 #OttawaConference.
"In government, every time something goes wrong, we add 3 more layers of process. We've been doing this for so long that we've overprocessed ourselves. Things take longer to go forward or back." Defence Minister @BillBlair at the #OttawaConference.
Rural Canada holds the key to driving our nation's growth. The untapped energy, the agriculture that feeds Canada and the world, and the entrepreneurial spirit of Canadians and our communities will shape our future.
It's time to unleash the Canadian promise. Empowering #ruralprosperity is key to making our economy strong.

As Chief Strategy Officer @MarciSurkes told @ChrisGNardi yesterday in the @NationalPost, the absence of tariffs from day one offers Canadians a brief glimmer of hope. More importantly, it provides an opportunity for leaders to prioritize economic stability. https://t.co/RXOfahUaXF #cdnpoli #canus

For weeks, Canada had been gearing up for a strong countermeasure, anticipating the possibility of a damaging trade war erupting the moment President Donald Trump assumed office.
"The US can afford to have a long trade war with Canada, and Canada less so," @TheoArgitis, Managing Director told the @BBCWorld. "You have this asymmetry there that puts Canada in a very difficult negotiating position."

Big changes are unfolding in #cdnpoli, marking the end of Justin Trudeau’s nearly decade in power as leader. To reflect on this moment and the Liberal Party’s journey, Chief Strategy Officer @MarciSurkes shares insights with Paul Wells on his podcast on the highs and lows and what’s next for the party. 🎙️ https://t.co/BYXH1JW40J
We hosted a special #cdnpoli webinar where @LucyvanOlden, @MarciSurkes and @gmilner discussed and answered questions about the parliamentary process with prorogation, political strategy during a time of change and new leadership for the Liberals, and what happens next in the upcoming election.
“[Justin Trudeau is] remarkably unfussed by the haters,” Chief Strategy Officer @MarciSurkes told The Globe and Mail’s @MariekeWalsh this week, adding that he can refocus and compartmentalize “in a way that I think would be very difficult for most other people.”

Chief Strategy Officer @MarciSurkes spoke to @PoliticoOttawa's Playbook this week about how PM Justin Trudeau can prioritize Canada-U.S. relations amid various #cdnpoli distractions. She suggests a core group of ministers could focus on the Canada-U.S. file, noting, “You need one strong cohort doing that, and as many others as you can hold together doing the rest of the work of the Government of Canada." https://t.co/YBtHJCtSCn
Some people confuse Government Relations (GR) and Public Relations (PR), but understanding the difference is key to effective advocacy.
☑️ GR focuses on influencing public policy by engaging with policymakers and government officials.
📢 PR builds trust and shapes public perception through storytelling and media relations.
"At their best, the magic happens when GR and PR complement each other seamlessly," writes Lead Public Affairs Counsellor @kaadavis.
Each and every day, we help clients navigate the complex world of public affairs with a uniquely tenacious and unparalleled approach to both GR and PR. We’re always looking for #TheUncommonCommonGood – for Canadians and our clients. Let us help you find yours.

Justin Trudeau announced today that he will resign as Liberal leader but remain Prime Minister until a new leader is chosen. The next session of Parliament will open with a speech from the throne on March 24, with possibly a new leader selected.
Trudeau acknowledged the challenges facing his leadership, stating, “This country deserves a real choice in the next election.” With Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration only two weeks away, Trudeau today emphasized the government’s focus on protecting Canadians and the economy. #cdnpoli
Chief Strategy Officer @MarciSurkes will be on @CBCNews Network with Heather Hiscox starting at 9:20 AM ET to discuss all things #cdnpoli and what the Prime Minister’s resignation and proroguing government means for public policy.
