(2 of 2) Given that #ICBC and the #RCMP already collect dash cam footage in accident cases, I find this little more than unacceptable excuses.

Quit the excuses -- pass Bill M217, Dashboard Cameras in Commercial Vehicles Act

PM Carney says he'll speak to Trump “when it’s appropriate”, and that he doesn't "have a burning issue to speak with the president about right now"

We're in serious trouble if Carney thinks all is well, & punishing tariffs being imposed on us aren't an issue

Carney: No ‘burning issue’ to bring up with Trump, talks to resume when ‘appropriate’
