"He helped. He was thoughtful and kind. He answered my questions, suggested a reading list, schooled me on where our government needed to reconsider things, scolded me gently for not engaging the sector as I should have, and was gracious and helpful in ways that are hard to summarize. He didn’t have to help me — he was my “opposition critic” and it wasn’t his job. But he wasn’t that kind of person or parliamentarian."

"Reading the tributes to Garneau they refer to his integrity, courage, humility, patriotism, kindness and intelligence and sense of duty, and it becomes clear that what he possessed was a moral compass."

Garneau’s moral compass always pointed true north

I had the privilege of meeting #MarcGarneau around the time I was first breaking into science writing and it was so exciting meeting a real astronaut. He seemed kind and down to earth. He was one of Canada's first ever astronauts, and flew on Shuttle Mission STS-41G in 1984.

Canada to Send Special Envoy to Support Armenia’s Democratic Development

By Emilio Luciano Cricchio

Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau announced on June 26 that the Canadian Ambassador to Germany and Special Envoy to the European Union Stéphane Dion, will be tasked with exploring how Canada can better support Armenia’s democracy.

According to the Canadian Foreign Ministry, Dion’s mission will last several months and will include virtual consultations with a number of Canadian stakeholders and Armenian partners.

Furthermore, if Covid-19 restrictions permit, Dion will travel to Armenia to meet with government figures, civil society groups, international organizations, and representatives of the media and business sector.

"Relying on the long-standing human ties between our countries in recent years, Canada is committed to working with Armenia for its further democratic progress, which is crucial not only for Armenian society but also for the region,” the foreign ministry statement reads.

Dion will moreover explore options regarding how Canada can assist and encourage ongoing efforts by Armenian civil society, strengthen democratic institutions, and promote inclusive economic growth.

Dion will later report to Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau about his findings after the mission is completed, which will include recommendations on Canada’s future cooperation with Armenia for the further implementation of its mutual democratic goals.

"A strong democracy in Armenia is one of the cornerstones for stability in the region. Special Envoy Dion has always been very interested in Armenia's democratic success, and his in-depth understanding of democratic development shows that he will serve Canadians well in that mission," said Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau.
