This is Canada. 🇨🇦
Carney: Canada is a mosaic, not a melting pot. And this is the distinction that matters. Because a mosaic doesn't dissolve or blend its pieces. Each is stitched to each and all the pieces hold all. And the beauty is in the arrangement, not in the blending.

I would happily join the performer at this school to demonstrate that talking about 2SLGBTQ inclusion is always age appropriate and clearly connected to curriculum. Inclusion and pride are both Canadian values. 🌈🇨🇦

Sometimes supportive boyfriend duties call. But you know who I’m rooting for to take the Cup 🇨🇦
From @TheAthleticFC: On a day that Canada and the United States both opened their campaigns at the World Cup, Justin Trudeau opted to watch Team USA, where his girlfriend Katy Perry was performing in the opening ceremony. nyti.ms/3QkNi1V

This is a pressing issue that can be solved by a policy exemption, which we continue to advocate for.

Today, the European Union took a major step forward. All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova. At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process. It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions. This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges. And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable. Enlargement is a strategic choice. By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent. In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest. Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

The World Lives Here. Canada is all together different. Truly unique. And so is our relationship to the beautiful game. This is our opening to the 2026 World Cup. Narrated by Kiefer Sutherland. #FIFAWorldCup

This morning, a Toronto Police Officer, Constable Marc Pinizzotto, was killed in the line of duty. This tragedy follows the death of OPP Constable Tarun Bali on Tuesday. Canada mourns the loss of these brave officers who dedicated their lives to protecting their communities. My prayers are with their loved ones, their fellow officers, and their communities in this time of grief.

I strongly condemn the vandalism of the Castle Mountain Internment Camp memorial in Banff. This memorial honours the memory of those who were unjustly interned during Canada’s first national internment operations, including many Ukrainians and other Europeans whose civil liberties were stripped away. Damaging a place of remembrance is deeply disrespectful to their memory, to their descendants, and to all Canadians who believe we must confront the difficult chapters of our history honestly. My thoughts are with the Ukrainian-Canadian community and all those hurt by this shameful act.

Today, we raised the Pride flag on Parliament Hill — a symbol of belonging, an act of vigilance, and a beacon to all those who are not yet free.   It reminds us that with our freedom comes responsibility — to keep building a better, more just Canada.

This afternoon the Pride Flag was raised over Parliament with the Prime Minister and the Canadian Pride Caucus. Our message is clear. Pride is a Canadian value and one worth continuing to fight for both at home and abroad.

Pride is a Canadian value. 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦🏳️‍⚧️
The tradition of raising the pride flag on the Hill goes back to the Jean Chrétien era, when most of the legislation for 2LGBTQSI was passed. Since then, the Prime Minister of the country raising the flag on Parliament Hill is a clear symbol of the fact that Canada is a country with diverse people, and their equality must be guaranteed under the Charter. The pride flag symbolizes decades of oppression and denial of human rights. And while we may feel smug here in Canada, it is our duty to ensure that the rest of the world enjoys those freedoms.
