On Wednesday @POTUS and I reflected on the huge progress made in the 25 years since the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
In that time Northern Ireland has become a thriving and dynamic part of the UK, and I know has an even brighter future ahead.

We also launched the #UKIreland2028 Euro bid ⚽️
I’ll never forget the summer of ‘96 and how it brought people together. Hosting Euro 2028 won’t just draw spectators – it will get the next generation lacing up their boots to get out and play 👇 3/5

The first Sarbat Khalsa was called by the tenth guru, #GuruGobindSingh before his death in 1708 and the tradition of calling #SarbatKhalsa has continued ever since at times of hardship or conflict.👇
After the demolition of the #MahantSystem by the #Khalsa Panth, S.#KartarSinghJhabbar called the Sarbat Khalsa in 1920.He was not the Jathedar of the #AkalTakht but a #Sikh leader. In the resolution of that Sarbat Khalsa,#TejaSinghBhuchhar was announced as Jathedar of AkalTakht👇

By the advent of Guru Gobind Singh, the masses in the field were flocking to align themselves with this community whose leaders were sacrificing their lives to resist and destroy the power of slave-masters.

After 500 years of Shabad history developed by the Bhagats & the Gurus, formation of the Adi Granth & construction of Harmandir Sahib & Akal Takht, the next stage in the struggle to secure human dignity was to establish national status for the participants in the Sikh Revolution.
Guru Gobind Singh did this by uniting Panth and Granth in a body called the Khalsa (sovereign) which could enrich the world at large.

Auspicious items include everything YELLOW (be it fruits, Peetambar-Krishna, or new set of clothes), this so bcoz yellow represents PROSPERITY.
An imp item of KANNI is MIRROR which is kept in d center-- reminding us that:
"I alone can change my destiny".

1/5 #NowIsNotTheTime for having visitors to our homes but that won’t hold Canadians down – nobody can host a better virtual celebration than Canadians on our #StaycationForTheNation. #COVID19 #WeWillGetThroughThis #CavaBienAller
2/5 As we #StayHomeCanada to #PlanktheCurve, let’s pat ourselves on the back because the efforts of all Canadians ARE making a difference. From the daily efforts of healthcare providers who are saving lives…
3/5 To #publichealth and lab professionals who are testing & tracing cases and essential workers who are keeping our hospitals & homes stocked... #COVID19
1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: since the first travel-related cases, the epidemic has progressed through the onset of community spread, to outbreaks in long term care facilities, healthcare settings & vulnerable communities.
2/6 We knew from other countries’ experiences that this would not be easy, but thanks to the efforts of #publichealth & all Canadians, our health system is coping so far. We need to keep it this way. #COVID19 #PlanktheCurve #TeamCanada
3/6 Maintaining our collective resolve to #PlanktheCurve will be a challenge as the weather warms and holidays, including #Easter #Passover #Vaisakhi and #Ramadan, are upon us. #COVID19 #TogetherApart
1/5 These are unprecedented times & this is NOT SPRING AS USUAL, so I am reiterating my #COVID19 Spring Checklist to #SlowtheSpread #PlanktheCurve. This is a crucial time, we must stay the course & prevent further #COVID19 in 🇨🇦.
2/5 #Snowbirds, #MarchBreak & other travellers coming into 🇨🇦, mandatory quarantine is now in place.
A)You are REQUIRED you to go straight home & QUARANTINE yourself for 14 days. #COVID19
