Dedicated to public service, Former Mayor of Stratford, husband to Carolyn, proud father of Kaitlyn and Riley, and a lifelong advocate of Stratford

On this first night of Hanukkah, my heart is with the families mourning those lost in the horrific terrorist attack against the Jewish community in Australia. As candles are lit tonight, may the light of the menorah bring comfort & strength. Chag Sameach from my family to yours.

“For more than a century, the auto industries of Windsor and Detroit, Oshawa and Flint have functioned as one. Ford began building cars in Windsor in 1904, the year after it was founded in Michigan. We didn’t hollow out Detroit. We helped build it.” thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Oh, I understand now, less duplication and effort on the part of a Social media staffer.
Replying to @Danmathieson
Canada is officially bilingual. Every Canadian would have gotten the meaning if it was posted merely once.

Hey Stephen, I think you’re just a little too anxious… There’s also an English thank you on the X account of the Prime Minister. Do you think possibly he did it in both official languages of Canada?
Nothing more sincere than thanking someone in a language they don't speak.

Honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who stormed the beaches of Normandy 81 years ago today. Their bravery on D-Day changed history and inspires us still. #DDay81 #LestWeForget 🇨🇦🇨🇦

I am deeply saddened with the passing of a remarkable Canadian & dedicated public servant, Marc Garneau. As a Federal Minister, astronaut & Navy officer, Mr. Garneau made a lasting impact on Canadian society & our history. I am forever grateful for his extraordinary contributions

We’re learning that the cost of rejecting authoritarianism is real, but also as @stephenharper said, no price is too high. Threats made to our industries & sovereignty must drive a national ambition. Who we are is being tested under fire. I will bet on 🇨🇦s a million times over.

The vision of @FlavioVolpe1 was set 10 years ago with #ProjectArrow the first connected car made with all Canadian parts. The evolution and circumstances of today’s economic reset make it an important and vital next step for our national government & our collective ambition!
It’s time to raise our national ambition. If Mexico can launch a car company, Vietnam & Turkey too, the big leagues are being recast. We need to want it. We can not simply play defence all the time & expect to win. We have to get at least one puck past the line. Go Team 🇨🇦!

Today commemorates the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. Please take a moment to remember and honor all those, especially the Canadian veterans & the brave members of the Perth Regiment, whose courage & sacrifice made peace and freedom possible. #VEDay #Canada #Veterans

Carney to Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale ... having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."

Project Arrow continues to be a light in the darkness of a trade dispute and the APMA conceived this many years ago…..
This is very helpful and important perspective.

How integrated is the North American auto sector? How interdependent are 🇨🇦🇺🇸&🇲🇽? Very. It is at the core of American competitiveness vs China, Europe, Asia & the world. You can not unscramble this omelette.

You can not hurt 🇨🇦 auto without hurting the 🇺🇸 immediately. We shared our latest @APMACanada supply chain analysis with @wapo. @bonnieberkowitz does a super job of laying out the premise here & what’s at stake with Trump tariff threats. washingtonpost.com/business/…
