This is leadership for Canada.
How he says it is just as important as what he says.
He waives it off and replies as if to say "Pffff who cares".
Meanwhile he signed deals worth many many $billions for Canada on this trip.
PM Carney was asked when he last spoke to Trump: "Who cares. It's a detail. I'll speak to him again when it matters. I don't have a burning issue to speak with the president about right now. When America wants to come back and have the discussions on the trade side we will have those discussions." 👏🏽

Ukrainians truly need this right now — even if as a sign of solidarity. And constant, stubborn solidarity goes a long way.

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.

Jack White is exactly what rock needed. He has unapologetically done his thing from the jump and it's both admirable and appreciated by music fans. The White Stripes were just the beginning and what a helluva beginning.

Our freedom was won by brave women and men who answered the call — including the heroic First Nations, Inuit, and Métis members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

On Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the sacrifice of those who have served, those who serve today, and their families.
