Manitoba – thank you so much for this honour. Our team will give everything we have for the next four years to serve you, the people of this province. Tomorrow, the work begins to make life better. I know we can do it. Because together, we’re capable of great things.

This is Jack Smith. He has prosecuted war crimes & war criminals. If Republicans & Marjorie Taylor Greene think they can faze him, they are sorely mistaken. Jack Smith follows the facts wherever they lead — & he isn’t scared of Trump one bit. Thank you, Jack Smith.

Many Canadians probably don’t realize it, or understand why, but Olivia Chow being elected Mayor of Toronto is a good day for democracy in Canada. It will positively affect both provincial and federal future elections. Jack would be so proud of her right now. Congrats Toronto!

At 3.4%, Canada now has the second lowest rate of inflation in the G7 next to Japan. Thanks, @JustinTrudeau

Congratulations to our new #TorontoMayor @oliviachow 👏 Glad to see someone with progressive values in office. Such a solid and diverse race, makes me proud to live in this city. Also, good job on this campaign to my new friend @MitzieHunter ❤️

Share widely. “Members of a controversial and secretive religious sect funded third-party group behind anti- Trudeau ads.” #IStandWithTrudeau
