Congratulations to all candidates, thank you for your commitment to public service. A warm welcome to Danielle Martin, Doly Begum, and Tatiana Auguste as you begin your work in Parliament in service of Canadians.

At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Within a few hours, she was at the bottom of the ocean. Among the survivors and dead were many Canadians and soon-to-be Canadians. Here are just a few of those Canadians. 🧵 1/15

To begin my working visit to Canada, I had the honour of meeting @GGCanada Mary Simon in Ottawa. We discussed bilateral relations between Finland and Canada as well as Arctic issues and the role of indigenous peoples in the sustainable development of the Arctic.

Here we go. Canada is the second fastest growing economy in the G7 according to data just released by the International Monetary Fund. Let’s keep building Canada Strong together.

Congratulations to Danielle Martin, our next Liberal MP for University—Rosedale! Now is the time to build a stronger Canada for all.

"Canadian visits to the US are down 35%—dealing a massive, sustained economic blow to the US economy that shows no sign of reversing in 2026" “In my 37 years in the travel industry, I have never seen anything like what the Canadians have pulled off" forbes.com/sites/suzanner…

Remind your daughters that in a world full of “get ready with me” influencers, here’s what else women can do: let’s not chase beauty, let’s chase purpose; let’s not chase admiration, let’s chase accomplishment.

The Dutch blueprint for urban vitality goes far beyond the bicycle. It begins by reclaiming public space and reducing the dominance of the private car to make cities accessible, attractive and alive with possibility. Bikes aren’t the goal, they’re just the tool to get us there.

Canadian visits to the US are down sharply and the trend is accelerating. Statistics Canada recorded a 31.5% drop in Canadian return trips from the US compared to February 2024, before trade tensions took hold. Land travel has been hit hardest, down 33% since April 2025, which matters because road crossings account for more than two-thirds of all Canadian trips to the US.  The contraction showed no sign of reversing in early 2026, with January data showing a year-over-year decline of roughly 23%, broad-based across all travel modes.  The economic damage is substantial. IMPLAN modeling projects that a sustained 20% drop in Canadian tourism alone could cost the US $4.2 billion in visitor spending and 35,000 jobs, with nearly $500 million in lost state and local tax revenues.  The Seattle Art Museum reported a 50% drop in Canadian visitors, while the Ringling Museum in Sarasota saw its Canadian numbers fall by more than half year-over-year.  Las Vegas finished 2025 with its lowest visitor count since 2010, excluding the COVID years.  Meanwhile, the money is staying home. Canadian domestic tourism GDP grew at an annualized 4.8% in Q4 2025, even as the broader economy contracted by 0.6%. Accommodation and dining spending within Canada rose 5.6% for the year.  Canadians are not travelling less. They are travelling differently, and the US is no longer the default destination.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1
