Today’s Open House for The Hospice Hub Day Hospice Program in Smiths Falls was over flowing. These programs are so needed in rural communities & so greatly appreciated! Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers! To connect, support or donate 👉 www.thehospicehub.ca

Stopped by Algonquin Campus in Perth to see how those on the line were doing. Every job matters & rural communities feel the losses deeply. Keeping education accessible means support for workers & fighting to keep our institutions close to home. #saveourcampus #Lanark #Frontenac

Happy first day of Fall! 🍂🍁 Love the smell of apples 🍎 cooking, but it seems the mice have come in early - seen any @wadeleonard.bsky.social? #Lanark #Frontenac

Honoured to present 70th FHG-USMC Anniversary coins to the St. Lawrence Parks Commission at Fort Henry last Thurs with my dear friend & Fort Henry Guard Club of Canada co-director John Grenville.

The first stop for Pierre on his way back to Ottawa should be at CSIS to apply for his security clearance. He has a month before the House resumes to take care of this. Will he?

Some very nice furrows today at the Lanark County Plowing match held at Paul & Cory Thompson’s Beachgrove Farms. Was great to check in & see how people were doing. Good to speak with Angela of Cheesemaster’s Cottage Fiber Arts & some folks with the Plowmen’s Association. #Lanark

Such an inspiring Music Festival! Connected with many old friends & made great new ones. Meeting Chantal Kreviazuk, Kelsi Mayne & Charlie Angus/The Resistance & sharing our love of music (& Luna Moths), again reminded me-we have far more in common than what divides us. #Hope #StrongerTogether

Fantastic day at the #KingstonClimateSummit with great representation from #Lanark #Frontenac! Really enjoyed the Food & Climate session where abattoirs & food hubs were discussed. So much to do that makes economic sense - imagine if our MP was tapped in!

Smiths Falls #RedDressDay ceremony today was so moving & impactful. From Flora Mesher Riley’s lived experience to Erin Lee’s call to #SeeItNameItChangeIt to SF’s Police Chief, Jodi Empey’s, commitment to reconciliation & Chris Cutler’s poem, it was such an honour to attend.

Carney to Trump: "As you know from real estate, there are some places that will never be for sale. We're sitting in one right now. Or Buckingham Palace, where you've visited. Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign...it's not for sale and won't be for sale. Ever." 🇨🇦👍

This is the start of a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the United States.

A strong, independent, and free press both defines and defends our values as Canadians. Now more than ever, we need to protect our public forums and defend strong and reliable Canadian voices. #WorldPressFreedomDay
