#BREAKING: Guilbeault to resign as an MP over Carney government’s climate policies

Today’s Supreme Court ruling reaffirms that only Congress has the constitutional authority to impose tariffs, and the President can only do so under a clear and limited delegation of authority from Congress. My votes against the President unilaterally imposing tariffs on Canada reflected the same conclusion as well as my belief that these tariffs often harm Maine’s economy and consumers.

@Dodgers can you find singers that can actually sing and respect our national anthem properly. Last two signers have been a disgrace and disrespectful.

It’s official: Ontario’s new advertising campaign in the U.S. has launched. 

Using every tool we have, we’ll never stop making the case against American tariffs on Canada. The way to prosperity is by working together.

Watch our new ad.

Statement by President George W. Bush:

"Today, a young man was murdered in cold blood while expressing his political views. It happened on a college campus, where the open exchange of opposing ideas should be sacrosanct. Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens. May God bless Charlie Kirk and his family, and may God guide America toward civility."

The federal government subsidizes BC Ferries by approximately $35M/yr for 4 routes and is constitutionally mandated to provide the ferry service for Newfoundland and Labrador.

In 2024/25 GNB spent $26M on ferry systems, which includes the Fundy Isles and the St. John River.

[Brian Cooke 🇨🇦 @BrianCooke92]

Great news for interprovincial ferry systems in Atlantic Canada ⛴️. BUT then the federal government should also be able to afford to subsidize the Fundy Isles ferry systems in Southwest NB. And it must also include a short-and long term solution for Campobello Island.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Effective August 1st, we’re cutting tolls on the Confederation Bridge from $50 to $20 — and cutting fares on all interprovincial ferries in half in Atlantic Canada.

Canada’s new government is bringing down costs and building one strong, Canadian economy.

On this day in 1953, an armistice to end the active fighting in the Korean War was signed in Panmunjom. Today marks the 72nd anniversary of the armistice.

This came after three years of hostilities, with 516 Canadians losing their lives in service during conflict. Their names are inscribed in the Korean War Book of Remembrance located in the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

Many hands on this file! Happy to see that @Gov_NB stepped up and listened to the concerns of Campobello Island's Mayor Harvey Matthews & Council, residents, and businesses. More work to be done on this file, but this is good news nonetheless!

A big win for Campobello Island! Thanks to Premier @susanholt, Mayor Harvey Matthews & Council, Senator Quinn, Minister @DLeBlancNB, MP @JohnWilliamson_, and many other provincial officials for getting this tariff exemption completed. It was the right thing to do!

[Susan Holt @susanholt]

Good news for Campobello!

The federal government has granted a special exemption to residents of Campobello Island from previous tariff countermeasures. We’ve been actively working with the Federal government to recognize Campobello’s unique position given that it’s only accessible by road via the United States year-round. A huge thank you to everyone who helped ensure residents can now access essentials tariff-free.

If Roosevelt and Truman treated Churchill the way that Trump & Vance treated Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 today, the world would be in a much different place than it is today. It’s clear the Trump doesn’t value 🇺🇸’s allies and continues to side with dictatorships like 🇷🇺 & 🇰🇵.

The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner. Certain tariffs will impose a significant burden on many families, manufacturers, the forest products industry, small businesses, lobstermen, and agricultural producers.

For example, 95 percent of the heating oil used by most Mainers to heat their homes comes from refineries in Canada. The Air National Guard Base in Bangor depends completely on jet fuel and diesel from Canada. From fisheries to potato farmers to paper mills, these tariffs will have a significant impact on Maine’s economy and risk increasing costs for our residents.

I am working with the Trump Administration to help its officials better understand the potential ramifications of certain tariffs on Maine and to find out more about their implementation, scope, duration, and other important information, including any exemptions they may make for northern border states, certain industries, agricultural producers, and others who rely on trade with Canada.
