Regional Councillor Brampton Wards 1 & 5

Councillors Rowena Santos and Chris Leahy Call for Municipalities to Unite Against Trump’s Tariff Threats

Rowena Santos and Chris Leahy, regional counselors from Brampton and Whitby, are taking part in an initiative called “FromCitytoCity.ca” to protest U.S. tariffs, which threaten economic prosperity and jobs on both sides of the border. They emphasize the role of municipalities in addressing crises like tariffs and advocate for a unified municipal response. The movement aims to lobby U.S. city counselors to pressure their leaders against tariffs. Despite challenges, they are committed to protecting jobs and sovereignty, using direct action and outreach to raise awareness.
