July 21, 2026 Pinned Tweet on X with MLA Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin
Before our Premiers criticize the President of US for placing new tariffs, let’s first focus on removing the ones we do have control over in NS and NB.
This week, Canada’s Premiers are meeting in Prince Edward Island. I hope one of their priorities is removing interprovincial barriers, not creating new ones.
It’s time for Nova Scotia to eliminate the tolls on the Cobequid Pass. They are an interprovincial barrier that places an additional cost on people entering our province.
And it’s time for New Brunswick to make it clear that a new border toll on Nova Scotians will not move forward.
Workers, families, patients, students, businesses and tourists should be encouraged, not discouraged, to move freely between our provinces.
At a time when Canadians are working to strengthen our economy and reduce barriers to trade, adding new costs to cross a provincial border sends the wrong message.
Let’s show leadership.
Premier Tim Houston: Remove the Cobequid Pass toll.
Premier Susan Holt: Don’t create a new border toll.
Instead of putting up more barriers between neighbours, let’s take them down.
One country. Two provinces. No unnecessary tolls."
