That means big new investments in Canadian industries, resources, and projects, and big new opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.

In any war there are some victories that are more symbolic than others. In the American war, the collapse of the American bourbon market sends a powerful message.
Jim Beam has closed its main plant. The market is in free fall.

We have so much opportunity in Canada — to create better jobs and a more independent economy, and build better futures for our grandchildren.
I sat down with Global News last week to talk about how we're going to seize those opportunities and build Canada strong.
