Very glad to hear about the strong partnerships the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre has built with U.S. institutions. The United States stands firmly against antisemitism in all its forms.

CBP processes nearly 4 million passengers a year traveling from Vancouver to the United States. Visited the team at the Vancouver Cruise Terminal today and got a firsthand look at service improvements at the rail station. Good work being done here.

Good to meet with @Dave_Eby this morning. Looking forward to turning our conversations into results for workers and businesses in BC and the United States.

A predator is now in U.S. custody thanks to the work of Ottawa Police, CBSA, and our Embassy's HSI team. Parents, make sure you talk to your kids about online safety.

.@USTradeRep Ambassador Greer: "The President's trade policy remains the same... We're trying to get at these issues that have distorted the global trading system and hurt American workers and producers."

[U.S. Ambassador to NATO @USAmbNATO]

Another tremendous #NATOsummit in the books. As @POTUS said, the Alliance remains united: we’re committed to being stronger and more capable than ever before.

Here's @USTradeRep Jamieson Greer on the U.S. not renewing USMCA: “There are things that have to be fixed in the agreement. So we have bipartisan support in that.”

Great results from our law enforcement agencies. 24 arrests across three continents, targeting transnational criminal gangs that prey on our people. When we work together, criminals have nowhere to hide.

[US Attorney L.A. @USAO_LosAngeles]

.@USAttyEssayli addressed the media in Los Angeles today to announces arrests and criminal charges against members of India-based organized crime syndicates. Also addressing the press were @FBILosAngeles Assistant Director in Charge Patrick Grandy, @LAPDPoliceChief , and @CommrRCMPGRC.

Took a tour of the Stampede grounds this morning and learned about Alberta's western heritage including the story of Guy Weadick, the American-Canadian cowboy who founded the Stampede. A good reminder of the history and culture we share.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

Jeremy has represented the Canadian Space Agency with the utmost distinction.

As an astronaut, he studied and trained for years, and when he was selected for the incredible Artemis II crew and their mission to journey around the Moon, he executed with humility, precision, and professionalism.

Jeremy and the Artemis II crew have now passed the torch to Artemis III and the colleagues who will carry the fire of exploration back to the lunar surface.

Thank you, Jeremy, for your extraordinary service and partnership with NASA. Wishing you and your family all the best in this next chapter.

[Ambassador Pete Hoekstra @USAmbCanada]

Congratulations, Jeremy, on a truly remarkable career. Thank you for your steadfast support of the U.S.-Canada relationship, not just in space but across so many other fronts. Wishing you and your family all the best in what comes next.

[Jeremy R. Hansen @Astro_Jeremy]

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. 🇨🇦

Canadian provinces cannot block American wineries, breweries, and distilleries from its market while expecting full access to ours. That is not fair trade.

I introduced the CANADA Act to direct USTR to investigate the Canadian provinces’ discriminatory treatment of American alcoholic beverage producers and pursue enforcement under our trade laws.

[Ambassador Pete Hoekstra @USAmbCanada]

Working hard on my pancake flipping technique this morning. Thanks to @ABDanielleSmith for helping me kick off my first Stampede and to all Albertans for your western hospitality.

[Ambassador Pete Hoekstra @USAmbCanada]

Still thinking about that awesome flyover last night and our unforgettable #Freedom250 celebrations. Diane and I are excited to be back in Alberta for our next big adventure, kicking off our first Calgary Stampede.

[Ambassador Pete Hoekstra @USAmbCanada]

@FoodProfessor Thanks for joining us!

[Ambassador Pete Hoekstra @USAmbCanada]

@erinotoole Thanks for joining us!

[Ambassador Pete Hoekstra @USAmbCanada]

Incredible work by @RCAF_ARC and our @usairforce team at the Embassy to get a flyover with F-35 and F-18 planes for our #Freedom250 celebration. Happy Fourth of July!

[Ambassador Pete Hoekstra @USAmbCanada]

This Canadian gets it. 250 years in, and the idea that every person is born free and equal (not by custom, not by accident, but by nature) still changes lives on both sides of the border. https://t.co/HYUrfxZQvp
