Best to run a First Nations candidate in the by-election against Pierre Poilievre.
With the outrage from my people on Danielle Smith calling for “separation” and Poilievre’s vile comments towards our residential school survivors-it’s a smart move to zone in on the divisions they’ve created. 🪶😡

Canadians elected a new government to stand up for Canada and build a strong economy.
As Prime Minister, I’ve heard that message loud and clear. Today, I’ve shared my plan to set out on a new path for Canada — and act with focus and determination.

What we’ve launched today is the first step for how we’re going to evolve verification.
The initial set of trusted verifiers includes news orgs who’ve agreed to take on the task of verification for their journalists. In the future, this set will expand, as well as how apps can choose to use them.
