A lot has transpired since I shared my trade war update yesterday morning. By now, you’ve likely heard that proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days for both Canada and the US while we work together. We can all breathe a sigh of relief – but we shouldn’t let our guard down.

And just like that, another year is coming to an end. As the House of Commons breaks for Christmas, I look forward to spending more time in our community, and with family and friends. Here’s hoping for more snow in time for Christmas for some cross-country skiing in our beautiful community!

However you are spending the holiday season, I hope you find time to pause, reflect, and recharge.
