Marc Miller's response reflects confidence and a proactive approach to potential U.S. tariffs. By emphasizing preparation and a readiness to defend Canadian jobs, he conveys a strong message that Canada values its economic sovereignty while remaining committed to maintaining a constructive relationship with the U.S.
This balanced stance—avoiding unnecessary conflict but being ready to act if provoked—seems to demonstrate strategic foresight. It acknowledges the importance of diplomacy while underscoring Canada's willingness to protect its national interests.

IRCC to implement restrictions on family Open Work Permits in January 2025

Master’s programs that are 16 months or longer in duration;
Doctoral programs; or
Select professional and eligible programs (listed below).
Prior to this change, a master's program did not have to be 16 months or longer in duration in order for the student's spouse to be eligible for a SOWP.
In addition to this, family OWPs for foreign workers will be limited to spouses or common-law partners of those working in
Training Education Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) 0 occupations;
TEER 1 occupations; and
Select TEER 2 or 3 occupations* in:
Natural and applied sciences;
Construction;
Healthcare;
Natural resources;
Education;
Sports; and
Military sectors.
*A full list of eligible TEER 2 and 3 occupations will be published by IRCC on January 21, 2025.
For spouses of foreign workers to be eligible under these rules, the foreign worker must have at least 16 months remaining validity on their work permit when their spouse applies.
Dependent children of foreign workers will no longer be eligible for family OWPs.

Canada's move to suspend most private refugee sponsorships has surprised community groups and individuals who have long supported thousands of refugees.
The program gained significant attention in 2015 when the government urged the country to welcome thousands of refugees.
On November 29, private sponsorships were paused, except for select organizations with agreements, to tackle growing application backlogs.
Critics, however, believe the suspension sends a discouraging signal amidst a global refugee crisis.
