I joined CNN tonight to discuss the latest in trade talks with the United States. A deal will help us move forward, but the threats we’ve seen from the U.S. over the past several years highlight why we need to broaden our markets. We can’t rely on the U.S. in the same way we once did. Nova Scotia will continue working to expand our export markets, develop our own resources, and become more self-reliant.

While on CNN, I was asked if Nova Scotia is looking to diversify trade in response to the actions of the Trump administration. I said clearly to their audience that the answer is “yes”. When one tweet in the middle of the night from the President can create chaos of our economy, it’s not a long-term plan to rely so heavily on that market. That’s why I’m continuing to work to attract investment into our province, while also identifying partners to get Nova Scotian products into new markets. This is about protecting Nova Scotia’s future. Identifying new markets and developing our resources is how we continue paying for healthcare, education, and infrastructure while working to bring taxes in-line with the rest of Canada. I’m committed to doing this work to keep building Nova Scotia.

Onwards we go. Looking forward to continuing on the road across Nova Scotia this summer.

Earlier today, I was on CNBC representing Nova Scotia and Canada. With President Trump’s trade chaos, we know it's more important than ever to take control of Nova Scotia’s future. That’s why we are unlocking new markets, developing our resources, and working to become more self-reliant.

The MacKay and Macdonald bridge tolls are nothing more than a tax on getting to work or getting home to see your family, and a re-elected PC Government will scrap the bridge tolls. We're saving you money, time, and getting you moving! Let's make it happen. ✅

The federal Liberals have been warned repeatedly of the risk and dangers of the illegal activities in the fisheries, but they’ve refused to act. Today the Legislature unanimously condemned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s inaction and called for immediate enforcement measures.

The federal government's move to send nearly 6,000 asylum seekers to NS is misguided and ignores our strategic plan of targeted immigration focused on workers in healthcare and the trades. I was disappointed today when the opposition blocked a motion condemning the federal government's plan to take advantage of the kindness and compassion of Nova Scotians. Our government has a responsible, strategic plan to attract the professionals, like doctors and nurses, that our province needs. The federal government's move will disrupt this balance.

The federal government is forcing a carbon tax on Nova Scotians, while at the same time blocking real solutions to greening our grid. I stand with the real opportunities of tidal and wind that can truly green our grid and positively transform our economy. #nspoli #cdnpoli

Meet Nova Natural Gas: our opportunity to create good-paying jobs while developing a stable supply of energy here at home. It’s time for our region to stop relying on energy imports from the United States. We can make it happen here in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia has developed our offshore natural gas resources before, and we can do it again.

Thanks to the weather, we’re able to lift the woods travel and activity ban, effective 12:01am on Monday. The province-wide fire ban will remain in effect, as will the $25,000 fines for those who ignore the ban. If you use the woods: be safe, be smart, and don't flick a dart.
