Knocking on doors in Flemingdon Park today for the @liberal_party June #DaysofAction. Thoughtful conversations with residents on issues such as cost of living, housing affordability, public safety, and Billy Bishop Airport. Always grateful to listen to community members’ thoughts on the things that matter most.

Broadway Cleaners & Attitudes in Hair marked their 25th annual Charity BBQ on Mt. Pleasant in support of Good Shepherd Nonprofit Homes Toronto—a community tradition. Glad to drop by, connect with neighbours, and support the important work being done to provide affordable housing and care in our community.

For 40 years, @YongeLawrenceTO has brought our community together while supporting local businesses through the Village Day & Sidewalk Sale. Great to connect with neighbours and friends, and to hand out popcorn and Canada Day lawn signs at today’s event.

The FIFA Men’s World Cup has arrived on Canadian soil for the first time in history. Yesterday, @TeamCanada earned its first ever point in a World Cup match. Toronto and Canadians across the country will be cheering this team on every step of the way. Go Canada Go! 🇨🇦

Kitchissipi United Church is a progressive, inclusive church, who recently welcomed 105 new members—all of whom are LGBTQI African Christian refugees seeking a safe and affirming place to worship. Tomorrow, June 14, I’ll be preaching at the church in Ottawa at 10 AM. Join us in person at 630 Island Park Drive or watch the service live here: youtube.com/@KitchissippiUC/…

We will not withdraw from the international stage as Canadians. We will continue to be allies and friends to communities around the world who need support, friendship, funding and encouragement.

An innovative Canada is a stronger Canada. Pleased to join @OTLFoundation for their AI Innovation Day—an event for young people to learn about the potential of AI. I spoke about Canada’s new AI strategy—AI for All—which will give Canadians the tools to use AI for the betterment of society.

The community was pedalling for a purpose today at the opening ceremonies of the 2026 Tour de Thorncliffe Bike-a-Thon fundraiser. Proceeds will go towards the @TPASN1 Inclusive Summer Camp—a place where kids of all abilities can enjoy fun, friendship, and unforgettable experiences. A perfect day to bike for a good cause!

At a time when Canada is deepening its connections across the world, people-to-people relationships are a critical component of our foreign policy. The Volunteer Cooperation Program is a longstanding initiative which champions Canadian leadership and global solidarity. Great to discuss the program with @N_Moyer, CEO of @CusoIntl.

Pride is both a celebration and a call to action. It reminds us that equality, dignity, and human rights are not abstract ideals, but lived realities that demand our attention and advocacy, at home and abroad. Grateful to have offered remarks on behalf of the government at the @InfoDignity roundtable, an important space to reflect on how Canada’s foreign policy can continue to advance 2SLGBTQIA rights around the world.

Ireland is a small island with huge reach. Happy to join Ireland’s Minister for Development and Diaspora, @nealerichmond, H.E. John Concannon, members of the Irish diaspora, and General John de Chastelain, who helped forge the Good Friday Agreement, to celebrate the launch of Ireland’s third Diaspora Strategy.

Pride Month unites us in the pursuit of legislative and social equality at home and around the world. Pleased to join parliamentarians, civil society leaders, and friends at a Pride Month reception hosted by H.E. Tjorven Bellmann to reaffirm our shared commitment to human rights.

Join us tomorrow, Saturday, June 13, for the @YongeLawrenceTO Village Day & Sidewalk Sale! From 11 AM – 4 PM, Team Oliphant will be at 3391 Yonge Street (in front of Menicure ) handing out free popcorn and Canada Day lawn signs. Stop by, say hello, and pick up a lawn sign to show your Canadian pride! 🇨🇦

Forced labour is a global problem that harms the world’s most vulnerable people. Ensuring that goods produced using forced labour do not find their way onto Canadian store shelves is a moral imperative. That is why our government is introducing legislation—the Ban on Importing Goods Made with Forced Labour Act—that strengthens Canada’s import prohibition measures and aligns our approach with global partners to better combat this issue.

It is with deep and profound sorrow that we announce and mourn the loss of PC Marc Pinizzotto, 43, of our Emergency Task Force, killed in the line of duty today. Marc devoted 18 years to serving the people of Toronto, including 5 years with ETF. He was a courageous officer, a respected colleague, and a man who put others before himself. Today, a police family has lost their loved one, and our Service has lost a brother. The grief is immeasurable. Our hearts are with Marc’s family, his loved ones, and his ETF teammates. Our members will stand with them, now and always. A hero in life. See my full statement tps.ca/media-centre/news-rel…

Canada and Yukon work closely on priorities ranging from Arctic sovereignty and energy security to strengthening partnerships with Yukon First Nations. Having lived in Whitehorse for several years, the Yukon holds a special place in my heart. Glad to join Premier @CurrieDixon, @drbrendanhanley, and First Nations leaders at the Yukon Days reception in Ottawa.
