Great news for Canada and the US!
I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border. In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million. Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.

Premier Eby’s plan to fast track resource projects would blunt if not erase the impact of tariffs, create thousands of high paying jobs by attracting $billions in new investment. Other premiers should take note. #mining

Absolutely
Sometimes threats can force positive long-term change. This is such a moment. In addition to counter-tariffs, Canada must also focus, more than ever before, on improving its labour productivity, lowering interprovincial trade barriers, and increasing its defence spending.

Canada exports $billions of minerals and metals to the US, including critical minerals the US does not mine. These products enable and support US manufacturing. Today’s tariff announcement will hurt the US and cost US jobs.

Relieved the government has done the right thing and imposed binding arbitration. There are limits to how much damage the railway system can impose on the country.
Never before has Canada experienced a halt in rail service by both class one railways simultaneously. #Mining industry impacts are significant due to our reliance on rail, and every effort must be made to restore rail service. 👉

Read the news that @JohnMcKayLib won’t run again. Over his 9 terms, we’ve sparred, we’ve agreed, and I think come to like and respect each other. He may hold the record for most private members bills passed of any MP. Best wishes, John. You’ve a legacy to be proud of.
