Productive conversations in Washington today with Representatives Debbie Dingell, Richard Neal, Adrian Smith and Rudy Yakym, as well as Ruth Ward, Chief of Staff to Speaker Mike Johnson. By working together, Ontario and the U.S. can create prosperity on both sides of the border.

Today’s agreement with Webequie First Nation is a huge step toward building the road to the Ring of Fire, with shovels in the ground by next June. We’re working in partnership with First Nations, so we can unlock economic opportunity for northern communities and protect workers

Another massive step forward as we unlock Ontario's economic potential. Working with @fordnation and @GregRickford, our government is building the roads, reducing permitting timelines by half, and expanding mineral processing to secure Canada's long-term prosperity.

I’ve got a better deal for President Trump: let’s work together to build Fortress Am-Can and take on the world. When Canada and the U.S. work together as two proud independent countries, we’re unstoppable.

The U.S. is moving fast to ban Chinese software from vehicles on American roads. They’re worried about disruption and sabotage. To protect our shared national security, Canada must stay in lock-step with our American allies and do the same. By taking this step with the U.S., we

I’m glad to see the federal government is listening to our calls and taking quick action to protect Ontario and Canadian jobs from unfairly subsidized Chinese imports, particularly electric vehicles. Thousands of good-paying Ontario jobs and more than $43 billion in investments
