I am deeply disappointed that Canada and the United States have not been able to reach a trade agreement.
Alberta has always advocated for a tariff free relationship, and will continue to do so. No one benefits from a trade war. Tariffs and counter-tariffs hurt businesses, workers and families on both sides of the border, while weakening one of the most important economic and security relationships in the world.
My first concern today is for the Albertans and Canadians whose livelihoods are at risk from these new tariffs and counter-tariffs. I welcome the federal government’s intention to provide relief for those businesses that are impacted.
Alberta will continue to advocate for a strong tariff free relationship between Canada and the U.S. and I will be urging the federal government to restart negotiations as soon as possible.
For Natasha - a single mom I met last week - and everyone in my community, Trudeau’s so-called reset of Canada has been devastating and we need to oppose it.
Thanks @PierrePoilievre. I am also wondering why rapid test maker @SonaNanotech has been delayed so long. CDN government funded them $4.1 million to be used by Canadians before June 30 and yet they are still delayed approval in late October.
@MichelleRempel Thank you for hammering the point of the ridiculous lack of rapid testing available in 🇨🇦. It's dispicable how the federal gov has failed us. @SonaNanotech is a 🇨🇦 made best in class rapid antigen test that has been sitting on @GovCanHealth desk for over 30 days! Why? Why? Why?
@MichelleRempel@erinotoole thank you bringing attention to #sonananotech. We have the solution for covid testing right here in Canada. Fast, affordable and accurate. Too bad its been sitting on a desk at HC for weeks now.
