Good to be in St. John’s today to meet with @PremierofNL John Hogan. Jonathan and I raised small business views on interprovincial trade, immigration, taxation and regulatory policies. CFIB is hoping to see an end to NL’s special tax on insurance premiums.
About to join CBC News Network on the Aug 1 deadline for a Canada-US trade deal.
Small businesses are expecting some of these tariff revenues to be returned to them to insulate the impact of this trade battle.

When I started my CFIB career 31 years ago in Manitoba, Gary Doer was the NDP Opposition Leader and one of the first politicians to meet with me. Later, he was the first (and still only) premier to agree to CFIB’s request to lower his province’s small business tax rate to zero!
So nice to see former CFIB colleague Erin McGrath-Gaudet this evening. Erin serves as Deputy Minister to the Premier in PEI (and Premier Lantz took the photo)!
Thanks to Ontario Premier @fordnation for inviting CFIB to the Council of the Federation reception.
It was good to meet Manitoba Premier @WabKinew for the first time. Always good to connect with leaders from my home province.
Good to see Nova Scotia Premier @TimHoustonNS this evening in Huntsville.
Great to meet BC Premier @Dave_Eby and his daughter Gwen in Huntsville this evening.
I just finished speaking to Vancouver Council in support of extended hours for liquor licensees. @cfibBC supports this timely and practical step, especially as the city prepares to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup and welcome visitors from around the world. #vanpoli
