Thanks to Consul General Baxter Hunt and his team @usconstoronto with friends from @usembassyottawa for meeting with members of the Canada-US Inter-Parliamentary Group. Much discussion on keeping our border as open as possible while mindful of our shared security concerns.

On this day, we remember the 1.5 million Armenians killed in the Armenian Genocide between 1915 and 1917. They must never be forgotten.

It has been 200 days since hostages were taken by Hamas terrorists, & remain in captivity. Families and loved ones continue to face unspeakable pain, awaiting their return. Today, we reiterate our call on Hamas to release all hostages immediately & for a sustainable ceasefire.

As Jewish communities come together to celebrate Passover we must never forget the many atrocities they courageously survived. We must keep fighting against discrimination. The Jewish people are strong & resilient, and together we’ll defeat antisemitism. Chag Pesach Sameach!

The genocide of 1.5 million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1917 must never be forgotten. Today, I joined members of the Armenian Canadian community to commemorate this tragic event and to pay respect to the families of victims and survivors.

An inspiring evening with Oumou Sangaré, perhaps Africa's most dynamic female voice. The Malian feminist singer thrilled the audience @KoernerHall with songs of peace, equity and women's rights. Let's get her back!

Pleased to engage once again in the annual public speaking workshop with @OTLFoundation . Good to see the students learn about knowing their audience, teaching, persuading and making people feel good through public speech.

This morning I attended Shabbat services at Kehillat Shaarei Torah following the act of violence there yesterday which left 5 broken windows. Hate has no place in Canada. I condemn this incident and hope the perpetrator is caught quickly.

A masked individual was caught on camera smashing windows with a hammer at Kehillat Shaarei Torah in Toronto. We denounce this heinous act of violence targeting a Jewish place of worship. @TorontoPolice Hate Crime Unit is investigating.
