Dear John, More than 2.6 million Canadian jobs depend on Canada-U.S. trade. When U.S. President Donald Trump first imposed unjustified tariffs on Canada last year, the stakes could hardly have been higher. Canadian workers needed their government to move quickly, defend our industries, and secure a deal. Instead, Canadians were asked to wait as the Liberal government made concession after concession. Workers lost jobs, plants were idled, investments were delayed, and production moved south. Real people faced real hardship. President Trump has delayed his latest tariffs for three days while negotiations continue. Conservatives want those talks to succeed. We are fighting for Canada, and we want the Prime Minister to deliver the tariff-free deal Canadian workers and businesses were promised. But supporting a good deal for Canada does not mean ignoring what it has taken to get here. The Liberal government has made major concessions, including agreeing to send half of certain toll revenues from the Canadian-financed Gordie Howe International Bridge to a U.S.-controlled fund. Yet after more than a year of concessions and economic uncertainty, Canadians are still waiting for the better deal they were promised. The Prime Minister said there has been “significant progress” in the trade negotiations. I join with all Canadians in hoping he can cross the finish line with a real, solid deal. But regardless of what happens next, we also need to make sure Canada is never this vulnerable again. That means making Canada stronger at home so we have unbreakable leverage abroad: unleashing our energy and critical minerals, securing a tariff-free auto pact, protecting Canadian technology and intellectual property, and removing laws that block our resources from reaching world markets. Canada has enormous advantages. We have the resources, workers, and ingenuity to become more self-reliant and prosperous. We owe it to the 2.6 million Canadians whose jobs depend on this relationship to build a country strong enough to negotiate from strength, not vulnerability.
