We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, more humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza, and a lasting two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians.

I’ve convened the Cabinet Committee on Canada-U.S. Relations this morning in response to President Trump’s attack on our workers and our industries. 
 
We will get through this crisis — and we will build a stronger, more resilient economy.

President Trump’s tariffs will hurt, but they will not break us. 

We will get through this crisis together, because in Kitchener-Waterloo — and right across the country — we are #CanadaStrong.

Last year, I met with organizations in Israel who are helping survivors of Oct 7 and addressing the weaponization of sexual violence on that horrific day. Their stories were harrowing. Their fearless commitment to justice and accountability, and compassion in the face of evil is inspiring.

It’s been the privilege of a lifetime to serve Canadians as Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.

No kid should go to school hungry.

All provinces & territories have now joined the National School Food Program.

400K+ kids will now be able to go to school with a full stomach, saving families an average of $800 per year.

We’re ensuring kids can reach their full potential.

Canadians shouldn't have to pay for the damages caused by tobacco companies.

Our cost recovery framework will make companies, rather than taxpayers, pay to fund our public health efforts to curb smoking.

We are committed to working with all partners to protect the health of 🇨🇦.

Les Canadiens ne devraient pas avoir à payer pour les dommages causés par les compagnies de tabac.

Notre cadre de recouvrement des coûts obligera les entreprises, plutôt que les contribuables, à payer pour financer nos efforts de santé publique visant à réduire le tabagisme. 🧵
