3/3/25 – Assemblyman Billy Jones News Release 

            “I am disheartened by the federal administration’s decision to enact tariffs on Canadian goods starting at midnight. This will negatively impact our local transportation manufacturing sector, as well as both residents and local businesses because of our reliance on Canadian goods for our construction, agricultural and energy needs. Our northern neighbors have been our closest ally and trading partner for centuries. Due to how intertwined our economies are, this has a potential for a trade war that will only hurt businesses and residents on both sides of the border. This is no way to do business, and I will continue to push our federal government to do the right thing and rethink these tariffs.”
