Americans view each other as morally bad, poll says. Canada is the opposite - National | Globalnews.ca While 47 per cent of Americans said their fellow citizens are morally good — the lowest score of any country — 92 per cent of Canadians had a positive moral view of each other.

The two countries are at the polar opposite ends of a 25-nation survey on morality conducted by the Pew Research Center.

There he goes again, shaking hands, strengthening strategic partnerships and leading Canada beyond the U.S. rupture. Thanks Mark! 🇨🇦🤝🇯🇵

I rarely post photos of myself and suck at taking selfies. We offered to take a photo for some other friendly tourists at the Arc de Triomphe and they returned the favour. The handsome guy on the left is my husband Michael of 25 years this year. I am a very fortunate man. 💙🤍❤️🇫🇷

Very observant! It was all delish!

Sampled some delicious, creative Asian-Indian fusion cuisine in #Paris 🍽️ 📷: Dahi Puri chat, Chicken Spring Rolls, Samosa & Marinated Chicken Pops. Absolute yumminess! 😋

Ventured about an hour south of #Paris today to the charming village of Fontainebleau and toured one of Napoleon’s favorite residences, Château de Fontainebleau 🇫🇷

As if Mr Zelenskyy doesn’t already have enough to worry about 😒 ffs

International diplomacy is an extremely complex and often messy business, even more so when dealing with volatile, unpredictable players. Leaders often must carefully navigate rapidly changing conditions and walk a very thin line. Both PM’s Albanese and Carney are doing a great job so far imho. 🇨🇦🤝🇦🇺

We are Canadian Australian permanent residents, and so proud that you’re our PM! Thanks Mark 🙌🏻

Screenshot of a headline from the CTV News website. The headline reads: Canada and Australia sign a series of agreements on critical minerals.

Canada and Australia have vast deposits of critical minerals. We’re going to work together to build up our production, processing, and refining capacity — for stronger, more resilient supply chains.

On our travels in Australia, and now in Europe, we’ve encountered several Americans who have been very gracious and swift to apologize for what their “president” has unleashed on the world.

Meanwhile we’re sporting our Canadian flag pins and saying “nous sommes Canadiens” at every opportunity. ✌🏻❤️🇨🇦

Anyone recognize or remember who famously wore the long blue gown (pictures with the red backdrop)?

In the 8th arrondissement in #Paris 🇫🇷 today, we toured La Galerie Dior, strolled up the Champs-Élysées, and climbed the 284 steps up to the top of the Arc de Triomphe - twice (due to a security false alarm)

Best Mates! 🇨🇦❤️🇦🇺

Where are the #London 🇬🇧 savvy Blueskiers at? I need some insider tips on how best to spend 72 hours hitting the highlights without breaking the bank or plodding around with headphones on with the herd on a tour. Think tourist who feels like a local. Ta!

How do you know if you don’t know everything? 😏

Bon apetit!

Nothing much to see here. Just enjoying a glass of local Sauvignon on a Spring afternoon at an outdoor cafe in Paris 🥂💙🤍❤️

Spent the morning touring nearby Montmartre, the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, and climbed the 292 steps up to the Dome to take in the breathtaking panoramic views of Paris 💙🤍❤️🇫🇷

Just about to head out for another day of explorations around Paris. Last night's dinner was not French, rather Turkish lamb "Pide" (pizza) which was yum! 😋

ABC: focused on the hard-hitting issues gripping the world. Not 😒

Even though I studied French in school, I haven't really had an opportunity to use it as much as I have this past week in Paris, so l struggle to understand dialogue at times. Still, I highly recommend going outside your comfort zone when you travel. It's challenging, empowering and liberating.

Another great Spring day in #Paris 🇫🇷 today in the 5th arrondissement. We began with a typical French lunch, Croque Monsieur et Croque Madam (toasted ham & cheese sandwiches) strolled through Jardens des Plantes, toured the Pantheon, saw the Sorbonne, and had coffee at Le St. Regis on Ile St. Louis

TODAY'S INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE: DON'T BE A DICK

With all due respect to the good Richards and penises out there 😏

Carney signs deal worth billions in diplomatic breakthrough with India’s Modi.

That’s billions with a “b”. Language which the U.S. will notice. Canada has well and truly moved on. Thanks Mark! 🙌🏻

The Place des Vosges is one of the oldest in Paris, and also one of the most beautiful. Known as Place Royale until the end of the 18th century, it was a fashionable and expensive square to live in during the 17th and 18th centuries.
