---"And that’s a wrap on the series finale of Trump. I started his presidency by chugging a beer live on-air with Peter Mansbridge. There's been a lot of orange makeup since. I’ve never been so relieved to lose a gig."

Congratulations to President @JoeBiden & VP @KamalaHarris on #InaugurationDay.

We're close friends and partners with our American neighbours. Looking forward to brighter days ahead for growing our relationship to get through the pandemic & build a recovery that reaches everyone.
