The town of Jasper is special to so many Canadians, myself included.
The community is still working to rebuild since last summer’s devastating wildfires, and today I’ve announced government funding to help restore and repair critical infrastructure in Jasper National Park.

Minister MacKinnon and I just spoke with union leaders from across Canada to discuss the impact of U.S. tariffs. Our message to workers: we need you, and we will be there to support you.
We will get through this crisis, and together we will build the strongest economy in the G7.

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.
