Some thoughts on auto tariffs in the Detroit Free Press: Reform Canada-US trade policies, don't tariff allies because they hurt workers on both sides of the border. Let’s instead lift workers up. freep.com/story/opinion/…

If 🇨🇦 'accepts' a deal with Trump that keeps big US tariffs on our vital value-added industries, we lose our right to challenge them under CUSMA or WTO, give him a win at his most vulnerable moment, and lock in subservient status. See our report: centreforfuturework.ca/2025/07/22/a-b… #cdnecon

Scott Moe arrives at premiers' summit with elbows tucked in, ready to cave. Cdns expect our leaders to fight for workers. For Canada. Not to concede. So step up. Or step aside. I’m not done fighting. Workers can count on us to fight for them. Always. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
