We're saddened to learn of the passing of John 'Paddy' Hemingway DFC, the last surviving fighter pilot of the #BattleOfBritain.
His legacy serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the WW2 generation.
Our thoughts today are with his loved ones 💙

Canada is strong. Together with our allies, we are even stronger.
Good to meet with you in France, @EmmanuelMacron. The friendship between our two countries is the envy of the world.
This president is more unhinged than the fictional President Mark Hollenbach, a character in a 1965 book whose obsession with annexing Canada was how his Cabinet finally realized he was nuts

My thanks to His Majesty King Charles III for his warm welcome and gracious hospitality today. Canada is fortunate to have a steadfast defender in our sovereign.
Deeply worrying with arrest of Istanbul mayor Imamoğlu 🇹🇷 and a number of other people today. Is 🇹🇷 in the shadow of Trump jumping in an authoritarian direction? I take it for granted that 🇪🇺 will make its views known.
BREAKING: The unthinkable has just happened in Turkey: Ekrem Imamoglu, Istanbul’s popular opposition mayor and president Erdogan’s key challenger, has been arrested (on corruption charges). Turkey’s politics has stepped onto a new terrain on this day (March 19, 2025) 🧵
You have chosen France for your first visit abroad: it is a great honor and it highlights the importance of the relationship between Canada and France. Very happy to welcome you, dear @MarkJCarney.
I am outraged by the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.
I strongly appeal for the ceasefire to be respected, for unimpeded humanitarian assistance to be reestablished and for the remaining hostages to be released unconditionally.
Fasansfulla bilder från Gaza. Över 300 döda. Flertalet sannolikt civila - män, kvinnor och barn. EU och Sverige måste stå upp för folkrätten. Ja, gisslan ska friges. Men Israel har ingen rätt att massdöda oskyldiga människor.
In 1940 the bravery of "the few" saw the Nazis defeated in the Battle of Britain. While the last of them has now departed, their legacy and our gratitude will live on forever.
Är detta verkligen sant? I så fall blir Romina Pourmokhtari (L) den första klimatministern någonsin som inte närvarar när Klimatpolitiska rådet presenterar sin rapport. Signalen blir att rapporten inte är viktig. https://t.co/KWZykFbfj3 #svpol
”Den senaste prischocken på mat är sannolikt bara en försmak på vad som väntar. Både centralbanker och forskare ser med oro på hur klimatkrisen ger allt högre matpriser”
Nuvarande klimatpolitik i bl a EU ger ytterligare uppvärmning på ca 0,5°/årtionde

2018 fick Odenberg i uppdrag av Kristersson att utvärdera idén om en nationell säkerhetsrådgivare. ”Svaret blev en sju sidor lång sågning av idén”, skriver @TorbjornNilsso https://t.co/pngu3sE8Zt
”There's no other way to explain it: Israel knowingly violated the cease-fire agreement with Hamas – with American approval – because it didn't want to fully meet the terms it had committed to two months ago.” @haaretzcom https://t.co/njWN9wNpxE
Richard Jomshof (SD) påstår i SVT Agenda att Sverige för "några få årtionden sedan var ett av världens mest homogena och trygga länder". Well. Det var inte precis den bilden SD gav av Sverige för "några få årtionden sedan". #svpol#svtagenda
