In a statement Saturday, Premier Tim Houston says he continues to “stand ready” to support and work with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Houston says they will continue to work together,We will work together to do everything possible to protect the massive number of Nova Scotian and Canadian families, workers and businesses that have now been added to the large list of those directly impacted by President Trump’s devastating tariffs.” Houston says for Nova Scotia that means developing our own energy, natural resources and finding new markets for Nova Scotian goods. He says building up Nova Scotia is the only path to protecting the province’s future.
