In less than two weeks, parliamentarians and experts from around the world will gather in Istanbul, Türkiye 🇹🇷 for the 152nd IPU Assembly, hosted by @TBMMresmi. What can we expect from this global parliamentary gathering? 👇 🔗ipu.org/152 #IPU152

The #IPU will host an online roundtable bringing together MPs to share good practices and practical examples of how parliaments can become more inclusive for persons with disabilities while ensuring that their rights are respected. Register to attend 👇🏽 ➡️ipu.org/IPPWD

The Women in Politics 2026 map published by the IPU and @UNWomen highlights a concerning trend: women are losing ground in top government positions, and progress in parliamentary representation remains slow. Read more 📑 ➡️ipu.org/WP26

⁦@AirCanada⁩ no Canadian whites? 😢 nice selection but 1-7 bottles being Canadian seems a bit tragic for our national airline!

@KirstenHillmanA Thank you for all your hard work on all our behalf.

Today marks the close of a significant chapter in my life – my final day as Ambassador of Canada to the United States. It has been the privilege of a lifetime, and I am so deeply honoured to have had the opportunity to represent Canada and Canadians here in the U.S.

At the Inter-Parliamentary Union Hearing at the UN, a clear message to lawmakers: Your engagement is required as the United Nations is not only under pressure but under outright attack. Parliamentarians need to stand up for the UN Charter, to support reforming the UN and to get engaged in the process of selecting the next Secretary-General.

@Jdavis_Halton @8ntmuch Fabulous shot!

@8ntmuch Genuine… with my trusty iPhone 11.

I'm a photographer who never posts AI images. Quote tweet if you're the same ... show the world that you are genuine too! ♥️📸

@Jdavis_Halton So sorry for your loss.

I didn’t think he would miss her… but he sure does. He has been checking out the bed where Miss Maggie used to sleep… even knocking pillows on the floor as if looking for her. We’re having a close cuddle tonight. I hope he understands. #grief #cats #dogs 🌈

@Jdavis_Halton Wonderful news Jill!

CT scan is “unremarkable,” says my oncologist. That’s a good place to be. 😁 Bone scan is next week! Hoping to hear similar words. #stable #cancer

Thank you ⁦@AirCanada⁩ great staff on this flight to Toronto from LGA 🤗❤️

@GregGilhooly 😵‍💫

@GregGilhooly Wow. Stephanie!

Our back entrance doubles as Stephanie’s studio. She’s explaining to me what’s left to do to finish this one, “Yukon”. Her third oil painting. Just starting detail in the foreground.

@Jdavis_Halton Maybe open a few more boxes to be sure they taste like yummy smarties? 😂

I’m sorry but these don’t look like Smarties. I don’t remember this colour. 🤢 #HalloweenCandy
