It’s not just what we build. It’s how we build.
 
We’re building major projects sustainably, in partnership with Indigenous peoples, in solidarity with union workers, and we are building Canadian – with Canadian materials and technology.

🇨🇦 The study found only 26% of Canadians intend to take a US vacation this winter, down from 41% last year, and of those 61 and older, only one in 10 plan to visit, compared to one in three a year ago.

Canada’s own tourism industry, meanwhile, is reporting record revenue.

This summer, Canada’s tourism sector did more business than ever before — by welcoming the world and being our own best customer. 
 
More good news: we just renewed the Canada Strong Pass for the holidays and summer 2026 — so it’s more affordable to explore our incredible country.

Detox is a scam.

It’s a legitimate medical term that has been hijacked by the wellness industry to sell pseudoscience.

1/ It's ostrich time & this is what I'm going to cover:
➡️Framing this in the far-right context is important
➡️The poisoning of public responses to public risks is one of the greatest threats from the far-right
