I am deeply troubled by the situation that occurred in Shelburne County, NS on March 26 involving the arrest and release of two Mi’kmaw individuals. The allegations brought forward regarding the treatment they both received are simply unacceptable.

Over the past few days, my…

Saddened to hear of the passing of the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney.

He was a true statesman that tackled the big issues of the day at home and abroad, and made Canada better for it.

My condolences to his family and friends for their loss.

Rest in Peace.

A complete and utter lack of class in this demonstration.

It seems that a bare minimum of respect and decency for their fellow legislators isn’t a core value for Conservative MPs.

Imagine the absurdity of criticizing an Atlantic Canadian Minister for promoting the world-class products produced in his own region.

The Atlantic Canadian fishery is essential to our economy, and we’ll continue to promote it at home and abroad.

The language used to refer to our Indigenous peoples by the Conservatives is appalling.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

Conservatives falsely claim that there is a direct link between high food prices and the price on pollution.

My Conservative colleagues today understood the inaccuracy of their claims.

Watch my exchange with leading Agricultural and Food Policy experts who debunk this myth.

To everyone in Nova Scotia affected by this major winter storm: Please stay safe. I have spoken with Mayor McDougall-Merrill, @MikeKelloway, and Jaime Battiste – they told me about the current situation on the ground, and I let them know that we’re here to help however we can.

I can’t help but think how far we’d plummet with Pierre Poilievre as our Prime Minister.

Canada is an example across the world, and we’ll work to make sure it stays that way. Our nation and our values are the envy of the world.

Promoting Indigenous language has always been my passion, and I’m so proud our music video “Kinamu” performed entirely Mi’kmaw, has been nominated for an ECMA. To see the video, click the link below

Kinamu is the Mi’kmaw word for “teach them”.

Wela'lin Grand Chief Norman Sillyboy, Chief Wilbert Marshall, and MP Jaime Battiste for the important discussion on respecting Indigenous oral history and treaties, and the importance of fostering equitable partnerships through equal engagement.

Pierre Poilievre's priorities for the economy would hurt Canadians.

But don't take our word for it, even fellow Conservatives think it’s “lunacy.”

Awesome sights and sounds in Eskasoni tonight thanks to Chief Leroy Denny.

I don't know if there's a someone out there that celebrates Halloween better than him – he had more than 1,200 trick-or-treaters, and gave the first 500 Beavertails as well!
