Four ways to continue the mayor’s tariff threats

Item content

It is clear that US President Donald Trump is Canada Crosshairs. He threatened and stops due to tariff threats, and resisting tariff threats, at least our closest neighbor and the largest trade partner in Canada, it is clear with economic confrontation. Trump’s attempts to break and stabilize us are unlikely to end soon.

Canadians are not commonly complained of all kinds of government action or inaction, these are not common. Canadians are looking for authorities and authority to guarantee.

The federal and provincial governments responded strongly to Trump – by applying retaliatory tariffs by applying the tariffs, by demolishing the transactions and extracting American products from shelves. But the third level of the government – municipalities – and especially in Ottawa?

It would be easy to say that this is above the salary price. However, Trump created a hand-affordable moment for Canada. Citizens need future leadership and confidence from local authorities.

City Hall has already followed the main challenge to get Canadian when possible. Viewed US procurations that can be canceled. Joined the free-provincial trade call. But we need more. If I may be the mayor, I would pay attention to four areas where the city will rise on the occasion.

• Initially, I would recall any local identities that launched the Trump. If local politicians do not make sense to challenging national figures like Wayne Gretsky or Kevin O’Leary, I would call the General Director General of the Ottawa headquarters Toby Lutke TeaseTop Criticized the revenge of Canada As “just a wrong choice” against US tariffs. Lutke’s comments should not be checked.

• Second, I would call local business interests in order to better understand the potential impact of local economy. Sutcliffe made an emergency call with local business development associations and other industry representatives. What we need next is a round table, which covers business owners and operators directly to hear the first hand in how local firms will affect trading activities. Then I can help with the federal and provincial colleagues that will be focused on local concerns through support programs for sectors.

• Third, I aim to calm down in the storm for our society. Many jumps, even afraid, even afraid. Our compatriot’s Ottawali are looking for the government for certainty that everything will be good. I would have discussed community discussions in each chamber. People sound their fears. Report how the city hall is preparing. Talk about the extraordinary planning for natural disasters and how to mobilize this crisis for this crisis. Indicate that the city hall uses networks to communicate and families affected by the federal and provinces of the province, as well as to form conventional assistance programs for enterprises.

• Fourth, I would use this crisis to the advantage of Ottawa. To promote Overdrive Overdrive, promoting Ottawa tourism Overdrive, as a destination for strikers who cancel the US trips. Invest in an inevitable American brain drain to attract talent and entrepreneurs, to prepare a strategy for employees, workers, and suddenly determine the ways of employees. Talk to our local institutions and restaurants and residents help you find alternative to US goods as those in the list of local suppliers Ottawa road trips the team. Promote our local musicians, artists and festivals and capture this moment to make unity and pride in our city.

Of course, Mark Sutcliffe is the mayor. Mr. Mayor, please take these views and avoid them. Ottawa’s people – including me – we are looking for you for guidance in these tense times.
