The Pickering Caribbean Canadian Cultural Association is a pillar in our community. They support our seniors through programs & events that have made a lasting difference. I was able to introduce the Prime Minister to the PCCCA and the incredible volunteers in our community.

Bringing families, seniors, and community members together is what the Pickering Caribbean Canadian Cultural Association has been doing for years – and it’s what they did again today. I’m so glad we could join you all, too.

🚨BREAKING: Still need proof that Conservatives are just using the carbon tax issue as an excuse not to vote for the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement? Here is the actual clause from the agreement confirming no such requirement exists. #cdnpoli

What happened, @kyleseeback? Why did you delete this post? Is it because you haven't quite figured out how time zones work yet? But, please, tell me more about misinformation...🙄

Conservatives vote against supporting Ukraine’s economic future. This is what happens when the alt-right policy makers take over. I wonder if anyone in the CPC caucus will stand up for Ukraine? twitter.com/theomoudakis/s…

A strong economy depends on a strong middle class. #FES2023 is the next step in the government’s economic plan to support Canadians while making important progress on commitments that will make life more affordable: ow.ly/zQIL50Qa5uH

Minister @viraniarif and I touched base today with our provincial and territorial counterparts to discuss what is being done across different jurisdictions to address hate crimes and keep Canadians safe.

Santa was in Uxbridge today!! 🎄🎅

Behind closed doors, Pierre Poilievre has no problem echoing American far-right talking points aimed at bullying vulnerable kids. Why won't he defend his hateful comments to Canadians?

Mr. Veltman has been found guilty of first degree murder for killing a Muslim family in London. He’s an example of how hateful words could lead to radicalization which could lead to deadly violence twitter.com/CTVNews/status…

Addressing youth gang & gun violence of tomorrow starts by addressing root causes today. Pleased to announce our Liberal government is investing $2.7M through our Building Safer Communities fund to support local partners working with at-risk youth.

Pierre Poilievre wants people to believe more guns in our communities will keep Canadians safe. Sound familiar? #RepublicanPartyofCanada twitter.com/Docs4GunContro…

I joined the Uxbridge-Scott Historical Society & Uxbridge Fire Association to announce our government’s support of over $200k for the construction of the Firefighter Memorial Statue & Garden, a community focal point to reflect on the sacrifice firefighters make every day.

We honour those who have served Canada and those currently serving, who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy. Today and everyday, thank you for your service. Lest We Forget #CanadaRemembers

Every year the Uxbridge Secondary School’s Remembrance Day service is incredibly inspiring and special. To the student organizers, teachers, and administrators who organized the event, thank you for honouring our veterans in such a meaningful way. Lest We Forget 🌺

The current rise in antisemitism in Canada is abhorrent, alarming, and unacceptable. Yesterday, I spoke about that with @DeborahLyonsSE, Canada’s new Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism – we’ll keep working together to combat this hate.

We can get things done in this place. Big things. Alexandre Boulerice and I proved that today. Quietly and constructively, for months, we’ve worked together, behind-the-scenes, on a big thing, and today, we tabled it: a ban on replacement workers. @alexboulerice 1/3

Applications for the Security Infrastructure Program are open. We have seen an increase in hate-motivated crimes & we are responding with a $5 mil investment to help strengthen the security of community centres, places of worship & other institutions. publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cntrng-crm…

The reports of overnight shootings at Jewish schools in Montreal are horrifying. I condemn these violent acts of antisemitism in the strongest terms possible – and I want to be clear: This hate has no place in Canada, and we must all stand united against it.

This year is the 85th year since Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass, where Nazis attacked Jewish owned businesses, Jewish homes, cemeteries and synagogues in Germany & Austria. Now more than ever, we need to stand up against antisemitism and pledge #NeverAgain.

Canada voted today in favour of the UNRWA Assistance resolution in 4th Committee, underscoring the critical role @UNRWA is playing in helping preserve civilian lives in Gaza and beyond.

On #IndigenousVeteransDay we honour the more than 12,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis who proudly served and made the ultimate sacrifice. We are committed to supporting Indigenous Veterans as we continue towards truth and reconciliation. Lest we forget.

Thank you to @AmiraElghawaby, Canada’s Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, for the important work you do. Hate & discrimination have no place in 🇨🇦 Today with @DLeBlancNB & @KamalKheraLib we discussed the concerning rise of Islamophobia & how we can combat it.

When my colleagues, Minister @KamalKheraLib, @JenOConnell_ and I met with Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, this afternoon, we discussed the concerning rise of Islamophobia – and how we can continue to work together to counter it.

Hate and discrimination, in any shape or form, have no place in Canada.

During #VeteransWeek we honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice while defending 🇨🇦 & protecting our freedoms. Thank you to the Claremont Royal Canadian Legion Br. 483 for the service honouring the brave people who left to serve their country but whom were never to return.

To our Veterans: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your dedication to Canada. This week, we honour your courage and your selflessness – and we thank your families, who have also given so much to our country. #CanadaRemembers pm.gc.ca/en/news/statem…

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau participated in the inaugural Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity Leaders’ Summit, where partner countries came together to work toward a more secure, healthy, and inclusive future for all. Learn more: ow.ly/HlrG50Q49Q8

I spoke with my Israeli counterpart @elicoh1 and received assurances that Canadians & their families will be able to leave Gaza beginning in the coming days. My Egyptian counterpart confirmed their cooperation. GAC will communicate the latest information directly with Canadians.

Millions of Canadians have, and continue to serve our country. On Sunday, Veterans’ Week begins. At home and abroad, I encourage all Canadians to reflect on the service and sacrifices of Veterans and their families. Lest we forget.
