When she considers the upcoming provincial election, Peterborough County warden Bonnie Clark wasn’t initially expecting to be spending as much time as she has interacting with stakeholders in American communities on the topic of tariffs. But that’s where she is as tariffs are top of mind for politicians and community members alike these days. As a result, it’s also a key priority for the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus (EOWC) ahead of the February 27 election in Ontario. Clark, chair of the EOWC, highlighted with kawarthaNOW the key areas of advocacy for the EOWC and what the caucus is stressing as its top issues for the next provincial government.

Our Chair, Bonnie Clark, and Warden of United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Corinna Smith-Gatcke, stepped up to share our regional support for Fortress Am-Can and the leadership we have taken in gathering economic data to support our call for allyship across the border. “It’s up to us to reach out to our neighbours to the south and get their support,” said Chair Bonnie Clark. “Because these tariffs, it’s a two-way street here.
