Former MP Wayne Easter says Canadian officials should continue to speak “loudly and clearly” about the effect of Trump’s actions on Canada’s industries.
“That’s their job. That’s not influencing the midterm elections. That’s talking about issues."

UPDATE: BC’s privacy commissioner announces an investigation into BCgov removal of public directory and validity of claims of a security risk.
Says “completely removing public access to the directory without a functional replacement is a very serious transparency issue, which contributes to an erosion in the public’s trust to our democratic institutions.”
BC is cutting off public access to a decades-old gov directory of public employees, titles and structure.
@bcndp cites cybersecurity and employee privacy.
@BCConservCaucus refused to comment on the issue.
@elenoresturko & @PeterMilobar expressed concerns
