It was very important for @APMACanada’s 🇨🇦 manufacturing consortium to see a KSS-III operating, in the water.

We are headed to Korea next to visit shipyards & armoured vehicle assembly plants.

For suppliers, due diligence on operating equipment is a mission-critical assessment.

[Flavio Volpe, C.M. @FlavioVolpe1]

I’m seeing real signs of a working path back to Canada-USA trade peace.

On new Section 301 tariffs, a carve out for USMCA-compliant goods should be seen in that regard.

Behind the noise, the signals are trending in the right direction.

There is a discussion to be had about rules of origin, localizing assembly/parts production to the NA region.

But demanding one-sided rule changes, while violating CUSMA is not on. Drop 232s tariffs, then let's talk auto content.

Sell here. Build here.

I was honoured & excited to take 🇨🇦s first delivery of a Hanwha Group KSS-III submarine at CANSEC in Ottawa today!

It was only a scale model but it’s representative of the great things the @APMACanada & Hanwha will do together in our Project Arrow Defence Industries JV.

The Canadian auto sector, integrated with those of the United States and Mexico for decades, does not have the option of diversifying into new markets in a meaningful way, and needs tariff-free access to the U.S. to survive, said Brian Kingston, head of the @cvma_ca.
