Canadians are counting on our positive vision for the future. Because the Conservative Party’s populism, slogans, and buzzwords are not serious solutions to the serious challenges we’re facing.

More than 2.6 million Canadians lifted out of poverty since 2015. 1.8 million homes built and renovated. More than 1 million jobs created. 139 long-term drinking water advisories lifted. 1,500 models of assault-style weapons banned. More than 2 million square kilometres of our lands and oceans protected or conserved. We’ve worked hard, with Canadians, to get big things done. And we’re not stopping now.

President @SanduMaiaMD and I sat down this afternoon and spoke about the humanitarian, economic, and security pressures Moldova is facing because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I thanked her and the Moldovan people for the work they have done to help Ukrainian refugees, I reiterated Canada’s support for Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and I announced new support to increase the ability of Moldova’s National Police to provide security.

Authoritarianism gaining ground, Trudeau tells South Korea’s National Assembly

'Antagonistic countries' are taking advantage of economic interdependence to their own geopolitical advantage, Trudeau says

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says authoritarianism is gaining ground in an address to South Korean National Assembly Wednesday morning.

Article content
The prime minister is in Seoul for his first official visit to South Korea and as Canada vies to strengthen ties between the two countries, and become “the best of friends.”

In his address, he says “antagonistic countries” are taking advantage of economic interdependence to their own geopolitical advantage.

Trudeau’s visit to South Korea follows on commitments from both countries to strengthen economic and military ties to counterbalance the influence of China.

Trudeau goes on to tell parliamentarians the “world is facing a moment of uncertainty” as countries recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, while economic anxiety and climate change add stress to people’s lives.

He argues Canada and South Korea can be partners in addressing climate change, which he says is also a way to safeguard against geopolitical instability and build more resilient economies.
