While still very far behind in meeting NATO targets, the PM is doing a lot of good things, putting 🇨🇦 back on the map as a serious player - following a dark decade when 🇨🇦‘s reputation was in decline.Dave Perry cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Added to about 80,000 beef & pork producers I mentioned👇, there are about 62,000 grain & oilseed farms that don’t get the unfair protection that 9,000 dairy farms get under Cda’s Soviet style supply management system.CAFTA - ACCA Grain Growers of Canada

Kirsten Hillman has served her country with great distinction, she’s one of our top diplomatists. Bravo on this most welcome appointment. Her skills & expertise are needed at this crucial juncture. Business Council of Canada Christopher Sands globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281883…

The PM is doing what’s needed to restore 🇨🇦‘s international reputation & its influence after many lost years, regrettably due to unforgivable neglect of defense/sovereignty interests. Dave Perry Thomas Juneau Roland Paris Robert Fife



63 articles in this agt, in fact show how much joint 🇨🇦🇪🇺cooperation there’s been already in defense & security areas. This new agt takes an important step ahead in reinforcing these ties. A great development. Canada in EU 🇨🇦🇪🇺 Ailish Campbell

These incredible, disturbing reports by Mark MacKinnon, from the dangers of Kyiv, can be likened to ER Murrow’s harrowing reports from London in 1940. This is courageous, commendable journalism. globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281492…

The CD Howe Inst has just republished my op-ed from the FP criticizing the major parties for enacting an unprecedented supply management law that will seriously inhibit interprovincial trade & harm Cda’s trade relns generally.CAFTA - ACCA share.google/5BTMzznZsXnXYM…

Stay the course, Canada can’t retreat & give in to bullying threats from Trump, my BNN interview. Puts PM under pressure. Let’s get things back on the rails - but caving in wld be wrong.Business Council of Canada Johns Hopkins SAIS Peterson Institute bnnbloomberg.ca/video/shows/th…



Always enjoy reading Tony Keller, common sense, tells it like it is. This one👇especially. How could the PM have fumbled this? Where was the advice coming from? Didn’t we have better intelligence from Embassy of Canada US ? Looks bad. globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281887…

Facing today’s extraordinary challenges to pay for defense, we shd remember that until Harper cut it in 2008, the GST was 7%. This may be where it shd be again, for reasons discussed here.Dave Perry globe2go.pressreader.com/@Reader2663554…

Think about it. Government agencies control the supply of these commodities. A Soviet style system. No other ag producers get this kind of state regulated protection. It’s anachronistic & perverse. CAFTA - ACCA Business Council of Canada globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281938…

Absolutely correct. For 80 years, global trade was based on 1 main rule - tariff rates were fixed (“bound”) under GATT/WTO. This has now been destroyed, it’s chaos now. Trump’s deals are one-way, with no certainty.The Brookings Institution globe2go.pressreader.com/article/282033…



There’s growing comment about the PM’s apparent lack of resolve to keep elbows up. Trumps latest tariffs for example. A concern here that political capital can rapidly depreciate.Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 Leyland Cecco Konrad Yakabuski bbc.com/news/articles/…
