Very sorry to hear about the fires raging in South Carolina. While we wait for the Canadian water planes to arrive, I will join with the rest of my GOP colleagues in Congress in petitioning Elon Musk to allow us to send them disaster relief funding.

For someone who thinks themself pretty clever, the numbers just don't add up #dogemath #usaid #saveforeignaid

Explaining Canada to Americans. 15 years ago American broadcaster Tom Brokaw prepared this piece for a US audience watching the Olympics. It’s six minutes worth viewing whether you are American or Canadian. youtu.be/lrA4V6YF6SA?si…

My Canadian Foodgrains Bank colleagues were in South Sudan this week, talking with our local partners there and in Sudan . . . and they talked with people who told very similar stories. People are dying as a result of these awful decisions. #aidworks

.World Food Programme is outraged and heartbroken by the loss of a UNOPS colleague, killed in a grave security incident in Gaza. Five more colleagues are severely injured. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Humanitarians are #NotATarget.

As #Election2025 begins, Canada must not overlook its role on the world stage. Our Open Letter to Leaders urges them to present a clear vision for 🇨🇦’s global engagement, including on #InternationalCooperation. #CdnPoli #Elxn2025 Read more: cooperation.ca/election-2025-…

With USAID cuts, more people will need treatment, with less support to go around. Mary, program manager at Trócaire Sudan (local partner of Development and Peace — Caritas Canada), shares how this puts pressure on other organizations to do more with less, leaving people at risk. ⬇️ ow.ly/cOfs50VnLlp

Grateful for the critical logistical support that UNHAS provides to the humanitarian community.

Very excited to hear about the outcomes of this symposium. Canadian Foodgrains Bank and our partners in Rwanda, such as Mennonite Central Committee @canadianbaptist Peace and Development Network (PDN) and AEBR have been working on conservation agriculture for many years and will soon be doing an impact evaluation of this CA work.

It's incredibly shameful for official government representatives to be gloating like this. It's sickening.

Excited to help open the Canadian Foodgrains Bank conference “Facing the Future Together for Transformed Food Systems” in Kigali. We’re with our members & partners from Central & West Africa. My message: the theme of this conference is not a slogan, it’s a call to collaborate more profoundly.

I wrote a few reflections on our visit to the Peace and Development Network (PDN) and Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture today as part of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank-supported regional gathering in Rwanda. linkedin.com/posts/matthewv…

Rainbows over the Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture campus today! Such a gorgeous place. Thanks to all the RICA staff for the warm welcome of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank conference delegation.

Shameful. Humanitarians are not a target.

Hey VIA Rail Canada, could you please update your Montreal train station page (Montréal train station | VIA Rail) with links to the new-ish REM (Réseau express métropolitain - Home)?

Famine in Gaza is a man-made disaster. Aid sits just across the border but trucks are blocked by Israel while bombings continue to kill mostly civilians. This isn’t a natural crisis, it’s deliberate starvation. A ceasefire is urgent. Every hour costs lives. Aid must get in now.

The seemingly outsized cuts to Global Affairs Canada in Budget 2025 are hard to square with the government’s repeated call to expand and deepen Canada's international partnerships. Reinvesting in the military is welcome – but defence is just one tool of our international policy.
