As Canada faces steep tariffs, military spending pressure and annexation threats from the U.S., a major American arms manufacturer wants to change Canada’s procurement practices. A Tennessee surveillance company is hoping to expand its Canadian border security contracts as the White House criticizes Canada’s border efforts. And online gambling companies want B.C. to follow Ontario and Alberta and open up online betting to private operators. 

Those are just some of the insights from the IJF’s roundup of lobbying registrations at the federal level and in every province across Canada. Each week, the IJF publishes data from our four lobbying databases showing who wants laws changed and who is asking for government money. Think of it as your weekly dose of public policy news before it becomes news.
