When your Prime Minister won’t help, you kick it into high gear and do it yourself. @rparmarbc.bsky.social has been working on all cylinders bringing these relationships forward. Carney has a Build Canada slogan but what will he plan to build with if our logging industry sinks to tariffs?
These agreements are concrete commitments.
That Japan and South Korea will work with Canada, joining our fight for forestry workers by creating opportunities.
These are partnerships forming in real-time, being strengthened in real-time.
