.Rep. Elise Stefanik — always great meeting with you! Thank you for everything you do as co-chair of the Northern Border Caucus. Whether on #trade or #BorderSecurity , your efforts are so important to communities on both sides of the 🇨🇦🇺🇸 border.
What a night celebrating 🇨🇦 SummerStage in Central Park with 3 amazing bands (all fronted by women!) I’m sure the thousands in attendance would agree: 🇨🇦 music rocks! 🎸 #CanadaDayUSA celebrations are just getting started-on July 1, Empire State Building will be red and white!
Like most people, I’ve always been in awe of the #NYC skyline. Seeing two of New York’s most iconic buildings, Empire State Building and One World Trade, lit up for #CanadaDay tonight is truly amazing. I’m so proud to represent Canada in this great city. Happy Canada Day!!
To our good friend #LeoGerard, thank you for your friendship, leadership and commitment to the 850,000 United United Steelworkers Union across #NorthAmerica for the last 40 years. The 🇨🇦🇺🇸 relationship is stronger because of people like you, and we wish you all the best in your retirement!

Congratulations Margaret E Atwood ! Another amazing accomplishment in your storied career... 📚 🇨🇦 #BookerPrize2019
For the second year in a row, the Giller Prize has made its way down to NYC. I couldn’t be more proud to host #BetweenthePages with the six shortlisted authors, and show this literary city what 🇨🇦 has to offer.
So proud to see my hometown team Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the #GreyCup for the first time since 1990! #ForTheW Congrats to the team, the city & fellow Winnipegger, #MVP & Most Outstanding Canadian-- Andrew Harris!
