Felices Fiestas Patrias, mi querido Chile! 🧡🇨🇱 Saludo especial al Consul General de Chile en Toronto, Fernando Morales Godoy. Conversando con él sobre Chile siempre me trae una sonrisa a la cara! 😊

What a treat to watch the office of Bicycle Mayor of Toronto be transferred from Lanrick Bennett Jr. to Ali = Alison Stewart 🚲😎. A bright moment in dark times for #RoadSafety. Great to see Kristyn Wong-Tam 🇨🇦, Cllr. Chris Moise and Harman Idema supporting #BikeTO. #BicycleMayorTO #TOpoli #ONpoli

Getting lessons in Canadian contemporary history: my wife and I visited Terry Fox memorial in Thunder Bay on a trip around Lake Superior: he is such an impressive and inspiring figure.

Spending a quiet Thanksgiving at home, after a 14 day road trip around (most of) the Great Lakes. Wonderful nature, thankful for a good health, close family and friends.

It’s that time of the year again! Tulip 🌷 bulbs getting planted Keukenhof in the Netherlands. 📷 Orny Corners

November is Remembrance Month in Canada. We also begin to mark 80 years since Canada liberated the Netherlands during #WWll. We start by launching our 80th anniversary pin & sharing it with people across 🇨🇦 who are helping us remember. Stay tuned for more! #ThankYouCanada

80 years later, we still remember. Today, our teams across the country attended commemorations to honour those who fought so we could live freely & never returned home. We also got the opportunity to thank veterans who are still with us. We will never forget. #ThankYouCanada

This Friday at Spadina Theatre!

Proud to cooperate with Journalists for Human Rights on this event in the context of the UN Campaign on Violence against Women!

In 2025, it'll be 80 years since Canada helped liberate the Netherlands. To celebrate, the Netherlands gifted 7,000+ tulips to Toronto and planted across the city. Great to chat today with Dutch Consul General Harman Idema on strengthening our ties for the next 80 years! 🌷
