It was a privilege to celebrate the life of Alexander MacDonald alongside his family, friends, and community at the Royal Canadian Legion today.
Sandy will always be remembered for the enormous impact on all those around him through his kindness, leadership, and mentorship.
As we mark the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight, we remember the courage of those who stood up for freedom and democracy.
Yesterday, I was honoured to meet with some of Canada’s Hungarian heroes of 1956 and express my gratitude for their bravery, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to freedom.
Their courage remains an inspiration to us all and a powerful reminder that freedom is never to be taken for granted.

My thoughts are with everybody who has been affected by the terrible incident that took place at CFB Wainwright in Alberta last night, including members of our armed forces and the heroic first responders on the scene.
As Canadians, let’s come together to support our brave men and women in uniform, who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and our country. Ontario stands ready to help the recovery efforts however we can.
It was a pleasure to visit MPAC’s Head Office in Pickering today and meet the hardworking employees who help keep our province moving every day.
Thank you for inviting me!
Great to catch up with Minister Evan Solomon this morning to discuss how our plan to protect Ontario is turning homegrown talent and research into economic growth by helping Ontario companies scale, supporting more businesses in adopting AI, and ensure the value AI creates is built right here in Ontario.
Always great to connect with Chief Moreira from Durham Regional Police Services. Thank you for the insightful discussion and keeping our communities safe.
