Hey there, time traveller!

SELKIRK, Man. – Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says the province wants to make it easier for businesses to weather the storm of U.S. tariffs that are to be placed on Canadian goods in the coming days.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said he plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on all foreign imports next week.
Kinew says the province is setting aside $1.5 million for the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters trade association to create a “made-in-Manitoba” program offering tariff response support for local businesses.
Terry Shaw with the association says the program would provide manufacturers with tools they need to diversify markets, protect jobs and mitigate the impact of tariffs.
The province says the program would also promote business-to-business connections and financial support for tariff planning consultations.
Kinew says he wants to stand up for Manitoba workers and businesses.
