I have some sad news to share today. CFIB's founder, John Bulloch, passed away recently in Toronto at age 92. John was recognized as a Member of the Order of Canada for his work in creating our country's small business advocacy organization. John called me a few weeks ago, letting me know he had received some tough news from his doctors. When I visited him in the hospital the next day, his focus was not on himself (even after spending the night in the hallway), but on what was happening at CFIB. CFIB is planning a celebration of John’s life and legacy in the weeks ahead, in our Toronto office. This feels right as, a few years back, I named our office the John and Mary Bulloch Building on their 60th wedding anniversary. On a personal note, I will remember John as a great Canadian, a personal supporter and an incredibly funny and fascinating man. He lived the definition of a life well lived – living independently with the love of his life until age 92 and leaving a legacy of a strong organization focused on building a better country. John, I will miss you. CFIB's statement on founder John Bulloch’s passing: cfib-fcei.ca/en/site/rememb…

Ridiculous!

CFIB welcomes the MB WCB’s $90M surplus rebate to employers, but the board remains above its 130% target. We continue to call for a legislated, predictable rebate framework as MB faces an entrepreneurial drought, with more businesses closing than opening. cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/90-mi…

Happy Mothers' Day from CFIB - especially to the many moms running small businesses across Canada!

@babehonker @buperac You seem lovely.

@buperac and fuck the CFIB they support the foreigner’s too. we have to burn it all down and start from the ground up. the system doesn’t work, the laws are broken, the people are retarded, and the foreigners have to go.

And there you have it. Finally the group of people that brought in and hired only foreigners are realizing the cost they saved on employment was massively offset by them bringing their entire families over and stealing from the store. Thank you for contributing to the loss of our high trust society by importing & employing the low IQ.

So nice to hear from my friend and former colleague Senator @MartineHebertQc. Martine shared her perspectives on Canada-US relations and took questions from CFIB’s advocacy and research team during our meeting in Montreal.

Great panel of CFIB’s Directors from across the country at our annual legislative meeting in Montreal. Happy to be working with these smart people.

Hier, @FrancoisVincent était présent au discours d’ouverture de la ministre @CFrechette, un moment important où le rôle central des #PME dans l’avenir économique du Québec a été réaffirmé. La #FCEI accueille positivement plusieurs orientations annoncées, tout en rappelant qu’il reste des enjeux fiscaux urgents à corriger. #Québec #économie #polqc

Half-billion-dollar NB Power rip-off must end, says business official tj.news/new-brunswick/…

Example #1,234,560 Toronto is no fun: it's finally nice out, asked coffee shop if they have patio chairs they answer that they can't bring them out because their permit hasn't been mailed in. Is anything organic anymore?!!!! Just the strange ice structure?!!

About to join @680CJOB in Winnipeg on Ottawa’s ineffective tariff relief measures.

Taxes, inflation, and red tape for hardworking small businesses and entrepreneurs. Grants, subsidies, and exemptions for those well connected to Carney Liberals. Let's restore a free-enterprise, bottom-up economy that rewards your work, not your connections in Ottawa.

Protectionist trade policies are producing predictable results: 💲Automaker tariff bill: USD $35 bn (as of March) 📉North American auto production down 2% (2025) 📊US share of 🇨🇦 auto sales fell to 39% in 2025 (lowest level in a decade) wsj.com/business/autos…

Merci à la Sénatrice @SenRosaGalvez pour la conversation enrichissante ce matin, en compagnie de @JasminGuenette. Thank you Senator Galvez for meeting with CFIB today.

So far, programs like this have been useless for small firms. Even in programs created to support small firms hit by tariffs, Ottawa includes $ or staffing thresholds that exclude the majority of Canadian small businesses. Typically, programs are created to sound helpful, but then design them to ensure they deliver as little as possible other than to a handful of large firms. It is far better to provide broadly available tax or regulatory relief. Ottawa unveils $1.5-billion in aid to industries hurt by U.S. tariffs /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

Merci à la députée et secrétaire parlementaire @MarieGab_Menard pour la conversation enrichissante aujourd’hui en compagnie de @JasminGuenette. Thank you MP Ménard for meeting with CFIB today.

Amazing meal this evening at Bellissimo Bistro in Downtown St. John’s to support long standing CFIB member and head chef Joseph. As both owner and chef, he was understandably too busy keeping operations running smoothly to step away for a photo. A great example of the dedication behind our local small business community. Thank you Joseph for the hospitality!!
