Today marks the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2 and the the Allied victory over Nazi Germany. This day is a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity that led to the triumph over fascism. Canadians played a key role in the liberation of #Belgium & #Europe, so today, we thank and honor them.

📰 Tomorrow is #WorldPressFreedomDay, a day we reiterate our commitment to press freedom and remember those journalists who lost their lives in the pursuit of a story.

Here in #Canada, we joined World Press Freedom Canada for its annual Press Freedom Awards Ceremony. Congrats to all the winners!
