3/ As you celebrate your Independence Day, know that your neighbours to the north wish you moments of reflection, connection, and hope for a future built on compassion and shared humanity.

Because in the end, it’s people who build countries worth celebrating.

2/ We have differences, too, and that’s part of being neighbours.

While politics might stir debate, people connect. Canadians continue to care deeply for our American friends, families, and neighbours, believing that kindness and community matter, even when the world feels uncertain....

1/ 🇺🇸🇨🇦 To our American friends: Happy July 4th.

Canada and the United States share one of the longest undefended borders in the world, and we are neighbours in more ways than geography alone.

We have weathered storms together, traded stories over coffee, shared laughter, music, and ideas...

Earlier this year when all hell broke loose, stunned that our friend could threaten our very existence, this song popped in. It said and showed all I felt about Canada. It was written from a heart and went straight into mine. Enjoy. 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇲

Thanks for sharing my video and also for voting YES for Canada. We have to vote strategically and I believe that Mark Carney is the right person to lead us.🇨🇦❤️

Today marks 7 years since losing my daughter when she was only 23 years old. "Cancer sucks" only scratches the surface on how I feel about this disease that devastates lives.

I just posted my thoughts about it on my website.

In a world swirling in darkness, all is not hopeless if you shine your light.

Alone, it may only illuminate a small circle but together with others who shine theirs in unison, it becomes a far reaching beacon of light for those who have not yet found their own.

absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The meals were 5 star and the service was spectacular.

After 10 days in Vancouver, I did the same thing all the way back to Toronto. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat./3

Jeanette Arsenault🇨🇦 @jeanettearsenault.bsky.social · Apr 12

I only had an hour to gather my equipment, jump off the train, set up, do a half hour set, then load up before the train left. The reaction of the crowds was fabulous!

I highly recommend VIA Rail Canada's "The Canadian" train trip especially in the Fall. The views of the changing leaves were /2

Jeanette Arsenault🇨🇦 @jeanettearsenault.bsky.social · Apr 12

What a wonderful experience to be the VIA Rail Artist on Board in 2014.

I boarded the train in Toronto and sang 3 shows a day for 3 1/2 days across Western Canada. Plus 2 in-station shows - one in Jasper AB and the other in Vancouver. It was like a flash mob of one LOL. /1
