Another terrible series of attacks last night at synagogues in Thornhill and North York. Like all Canadians, I am deeply disturbed and appalled by the reports of gunshots fired at synagogues in these communities.
Synagogues are places where families gather, where people pray, where children learn, and where communities come together. Targeting them with gunfire is an attempt to intimidate and terrorize the Jewish community.
Antisemitism is real. It is dangerous. It has no place in Canada, and we must all fight to stop it.
Jewish Canadians should never have to fear walking into their places of worship, schools, or community spaces. Everyone in this country deserves to feel safe practicing their faith.
Those responsible for these acts must be found and held accountable.
We must all stand firmly against antisemitism and all forms of this cowardly hate, and continue working to ensure Jewish communities across Canada are safe and protected. One important measure is passing our government’s anti-hate legislation, and we are working to do that quickly. We also thank law enforcement for their ongoing work, and we are working closely with them to keep communities safe.
“Instead of a single, reformed rules-based trading system, a mosaic of partial agreements and creative ‘docking’ arrangements between blocs could develop” in the coming year, argues Mark Carney.

On this day in 1980, Terry Fox reached Toronto where he was greeted by 10,000 people. He also threw out the opening pitch at a Blue Jays game. On that one day, $100,000 was raised for his Marathon of Hope.

What percentage of the physical products that you purchased the last 6 months were made in America ?
You do realize that EVERY AMERICAN could have chosen to buy only American made products.
Then we wouldn't be in this position. Companies would manufacture here because customers demanded it.
I invested in a company that was a browser add on. Whenever you went to Amazon or shopped anywhere, you could click on it and find an American equivalent, if it existed. No one cared. They had to pivot
On #VimyDay, we join Canada in honouring the sacrifice of those who fought at #VimyRidge. This battle marked a turning point in the war.
We remember the 🇨🇦3,598 lost lives, and 7,000+ wounded.
Their courage helped shape the future of our shared history 🇫🇷🇨🇦.
@mcuban I remember when the Government of Canada undertook a Strategic Program Review in the 90's; some activities were stopped, workers were given packages and incentives to retire early, and some federal institutions were sold (eg airports). Within a decade, we had a $20B surplus.
Ken, Regrettably, character limits meant the detail was low, mon ami. The first draft referred directly to the Boston Tea Party. An own-goal of historic proportions.
Let's get together when I'm next in Canada this summer. Would be great to catch up.
1773, an empire, a mighty centre of global commerce, imposed a tax on a part of its far flung economic orbit. This was done to help one of the centre's companies.
People in the periphery were enraged and spurned the centre's products.
It was the beginning of the end of empire.

Have you heard of the ‘Come from Away’ play? This #Canadian musical tells the story of how residents of Gander, #Newfoundland united to help 7,000 displaced passengers during the horrific events of September 11, 2001. A true representation of Canadian kindness and reliability. 🇨🇦
The scramble alarm sounded, airborne within 12 minutes, I intercepted Soviet bombers in Canadian airspace multiple times in defence of North America. Risking my life in service of others. I believe democracy, truth and cooperation for the common good are worth defending. @NORADCommand
