#Ukraine

We forget sometimes about the difficult work of translators, without whom diplomacy would be impossible.

We are proud of #PAFSO members and all Embassy staff and the amazing resilience they have shown under extreme circumstances. Our thoughts are also with our locally engaged staff, many of whom remain in #Ukraine.

On this day in 1982, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II signed the Canada Act. It was an important moment because it allowed Canada to have its own Constitution and a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. #Charter40 #CharterDay

À cette date en 1982, Sa Majesté la Reine Élizabeth II signait la Loi sur le Canada. Il s’agit d’un moment fort de la #Charte, car le Canada se dotait ainsi de sa propre Constitution et d’une charte des droits et libertés. #Charte40 #JournéeDeLaCharte

I'd like to recognize and thank our global network of locally-engaged staff. Whether you've been working for Canada for 1 year, twenty, or more, your dedication, excellence, creativity, and passion drive us and guide us. 🙌🏻🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿

I love this! Czechs learned how to cleverly mock the authority of repressive regimes long ago. They are experts at it.

I wish to convey my condolences to the family and friends of those killed and injured by today's shelling in #Zakho. Parties to conflict must do their utmost to distinguish between civilians and combatants, and this incident should be thoroughly investigated. #iraq

On the 8th anniversary of the #YazidiGenocide, Canada remembers the thousands of Yazidis killed & abducted by Daesh, and calls for the implementation of the Sinjar Agreement to support thousands of displaced Yazidis in choosing to return safely to their ancestral homeland.

Genocide has no place in our world. No one should fear discrimination, persecution and violence because of who they are.

Queen Elizabeth II was the last surviving head of state to have fought in WWII. At 19 she joined the war effort as a mechanic. A life devoted to service.

21 years. We’re with you, still.

And so ends the second Elizabethan age.

This has happened to several people I know on multiple days this week. STO is making users pay again so a single trip is costing $8. Please get this fixed and soon.
