I know and I've always felt for Canada that we recognize that diversity is a great source of strength.

Canada has some very, very dark histories, from internments to turning away the St. Louis and the Komagata Maru, but none is darker than our abject failure to respect rights, the spirit and intent of the original treaties with First Nations, Métis Nation, and Inuit peoples. We have to transform that relationship.

The fact is we're always going to be interwoven with the American economy, and that's why it's important to have a good, strong, constructive relationship with whoever the American President is and whatever administration it is, whatever their priorities. We will always work constructively together. But at the same time, Canadians expect us to stand up for our own values, to make our own choices, whether it's around climate or multilateral institutions, and that's exactly what we're going to keep doing.

The center has had the challenge of always having to be reasonable, balanced. If you're on the right, you can reach to the right; and on the left, you can reach left. But the center hasn't always sold as well in politics - it doesn't fit neatly on a bumper sticker. But what we're seeing is that citizens in countries around the world are realizing that, no, it's more important to be responsible and optimistic and thoughtful about the solutions and not feed knee-jerk, negative emotions.

It was difficult showing up in Grade 1 as Pierre Elliott Trudeau's son, it was difficult to become a high school teacher as Pierre Elliott Trudeau's son. That's something that I've lived with all my life. What people don't necessarily remember is that my father was an incredibly present dad as a prime minister.

From coast to coast to coast, tonight Canadians rejected division and negativity. They rejected cuts and austerity. They voted in favor of a progressive agenda and strong action on climate change, we will make life more affordable, we will continue to fight climate change, we will get guns off our streets.

I know Canadians want a strong progressive government that would stop Conservative cuts.

I'm not taking any vote for granted. I know Canadians are reflecting on the kind of future they want, there is a chance there could be a Conservative government and that would mean cuts.

Those claims are entirely untrue. It is unfortunate that the Conservatives keep having to make up attacks against us.

We know that investing in Canadians ... is actually the way to grow the economy, is the way to build resilience when the world is facing challenging times.

We're not perfect but we have done good work these last four years and we should be able to continue together to build a Canada that is more fair, open and productive.

Mr. Scheer continues to not take responsibility for his choices of the past, his actions of the past, his mistakes of the past.

Thoughts and prayers arent going to cut it, we know you do not need a military-grade assault weapon, one designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time, to take down a deer.

I have always acknowledged that I come from a place of privilege, but I now need to acknowledge that that comes with a massive blind spot.

Im pissed off at myself, Im disappointed in myself, i should have known better then but I didnt, and I am deeply sorry for it.

I should have understood that then, and I never should have done it.

One of the things we have seen over the past years as Canada has faced increasingly extreme wildfire events is there is a global network of support and friends that lean on each other.

We recognize the new situation brought on by American announcements, and Health Canada will continue to ensure that our priority is always ensuring that Canadians have access to the medication they need at affordable prices.

I really do have to recognize the Warriors' graciousness and their extraordinary sportsmanship that they showed, it was a tremendous battle between the Raptors and the Warriors.

The fact is Canadians understand that immigration, that people fleeing for their lives, that people wanting to build a better life for themselves and their kids is what created Canada, it's what created North America.
