In September of 2012 I walked my son, Eli, into school for his 1st day of junior kindergarten. Today, in June of 2026, I was able to walk him out of the same school, for the last time, as a High School graduate. Such a proud day for us. Now on to @DalhousieU in the fall.
Everyone deserves access to clean and safe drinking water. Bill C-37 is backed by a historic $4.6 billion investment to support water and wastewater infrastructure, strengthen First Nations-led water governance, and help ensure reliable access to safe drinking water.
Last week, @GregorRobertson launched the Local Impact Stream under the Build Communities Strong Fund. With up to $1M available per project, communities can invest in infrastructure that addresses local priorities and supports economic growth.
Healthy oceans are vital to our environment, economy, and communities across the country.
Through our new nature strategy we’re taking action to conserve 30% of our marine and coastal waters by 2030 — like in the new Mia-yaltwa Ha'lidzogm hoon National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, where we’re protecting thousands of kilometres of coastal water in BC.

Today marks 7 years since the release of the Final Report of the National Inquiry into MMIWG.
It remains an important reminder of the need to support safer communities and ensure Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people can live free from violence.
Reliable public transit is essential to keeping our communities connected and growing.
Today, our government announced the new Strong Transit Fund, investing $16.7B over 10 years in major transit projects across Canada, including $2.57B for British Columbia.
As the Prime Minister has made clear, private property rights are fundamental, and our government will always protect them.

The Supreme Court of Canada has declined to hear an appeal over the Wolastoqey case.
That means the Court’s finding that Aboriginal title can not be declared over privately owned lands stands.
This important decision will inform arguments in Cowichan.

The abominable treatment of civilians aboard the flotilla, including that which is documented in footage shared by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is unacceptable.
Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has directed officials to summon the Israeli ambassador to demand assurances regarding the safety and security of Canadians involved.
Canada has already imposed strict sanctions on Mr. Ben-Gvir, including asset freezes and a travel ban, in response to his repeated incitement of violence. The protection of civilians and respect for human dignity must be upheld everywhere, at all times.
A few months ago I sat down with my good friend MP David Myles of Fredericton-Oromocto to have a chat on his podcast “Anything But Politics. I hope you enjoy watching as much as I did chatting with him. @mylesdavid https://t.co/SfHiu0POqS
From Kitimat to the Indo-Pacific, Canada is stepping onto the world stage as a major supplier of energy security — and with LNG Canada Phase 2 moving toward a final investment decision in late 2026, alongside other LNG projects on British Columbia’s North Coast, Canada is on track to become an LNG superpower.
I am very pleased to announce that, on my recommendation, His Majesty has approved the appointment of the Honourable Louise Arbour as the 31st Governor General of Canada. Across more than five decades, she gave voice to those whose dignity was denied, held institutions to account, and changed lives through her service.
As Canada’s next Governor General, Louise Arbour will represent the best of Canada to our citizens and to the world — a Canada clear-eyed about the challenges we face, and steadfast in the values we uphold.
On the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ People, we honour the survivors, those taken, and everyone whose life has been changed by the MMIWG2S+ crisis in Canada.
To ensure The National Family and Survivors Circle has the tools to build a safer, more equitable society, today, we are providing the NFSC with $2.6 million in funding over three years.
Whether it's at the rink, on the courts, or at the track — Canadians always rally behind our athletes.
Sport brings Canadians together. That’s why we’re making crucial new investments to improve access to sport and back Canadian talent — from the playground to the podium.
In a changing global economy, today’s Spring Economic Update focuses on building resilience at home, supporting workers, and making progress on housing and affordability. Practical steps to keep Canada moving forward.
