 Happy birthday, Canada! Whether you're watching the fireworks, firing up the grill, or getting outside with your kids, today we celebrate the amazing place we call home. In the last four years, Canadians have created more than a million new jobs. Unemployment is at its lowest since the 70s, and across the country 825,000 Canadians have been lifted out of poverty. There's never been more opportunity or more progress to share in. And that's thanks to Canadians like you. We're an example to the world because of the way we treat each other. We're neighbours helping neighbours. Small businesses lifting communities up. Men and women in uniform keeping us safe. Families opening hearts and homes to newcomers in need. Friends who might as well be family. That's the heart of our success and the story of Canada. We know we've still got work to do. Not everyone benefits equally from Canada's success. We need to change that and make sure we all move forward together. That means supporting Canada's workers, creating more opportunity and growing the middle class. And it means fighting climate change so we can leave our kids a healthy world. I know we'll step up to the challenges we're facing just like we've always done. Because no challenge is too great if we face it together. From my family to yours, Happy Canada Day.
