Located in Ashibetsu, Hokkaido is 'Canadian World', a replica of an old Canadian village, inspired by fictional Avonlea in Anne of Green Gables. The small Canadian-themed village includes a schoolhouse, Victorian church and green-gabled house. 🇨🇦🍁
I travel a lot, have lived in several countries, and love many places I've visited over the years, but one feeling has never changed. Every time I board a flight home to Canada, I feel a genuine sense of excitement. There's something reassuring about reaching the departure gate and seeing other Canadians waiting to board.
Canada is far from perfect. I've spent a lot of time writing about its failures. I may not be able to define precisely what Canadian values are or even what constitutes a Canadian identity. But I know this feeling is real, and I've carried it with me for nearly 30 years.
Happy Canada Day! 🫡

Today is Memorial Day in Newfoundland and Labrador.
On this day in 1916, 780 men with the Newfoundland Regiment charged into battle at Beaumont-Hamel. Only 68 soldiers answered roll call the next day.
That sacrifice is honoured at the Beaumont Hamel Memorial.

You've welcomed me, educated me, challenged me and provided me opportunities. You taught me respect, compassion and hard work. After my parents, you've had the most influence on me. Happy Birthday, Canada! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
What does it mean to be Canadian?
To me, being Canadian means taking pride in the little things we do every day to help those around us, no matter our individual capabilities.
It means standing up for what we believe in, no matter the odds against us.
It means understanding that we are just a small part of a community of 41 million that is so much more than the sum of its parts, regardless of where the individual parts came from.
It also means that each of us has the ability to help change the course of this great country's future. It means defending our values whenever they come under attack, from whomever threatens us.
Now more than ever in my life, being Canadian means everything to me. I am a fiercely proud Canadian, a patriot to the very depths of my soul.
And if you feel the same about this beautiful country, I'll gladly call you a friend.
Happy Canada Day!
Today we celebrate a country founded on respect, inclusion, diversity, and cooperation—values that Canada proudly shares with partners around the world, including Italy.

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!
