Petition Update: New Leadership, Same Urgent Fight – Let’s Reach 10,000 Signatures!

To everyone who has signed and shared this petition – thank you! Your voices are making a difference, and we’ve now surpassed 2,100 signatures. But we must keep pushing – and we need your help to reach 10,000 signatures.

🚨 Where We Stand Now:

🔹 The U.S. government under President Trump is still threatening tariffs that will impact medical compression garments.
🔹 The Canadian government is still planning a 25% retaliatory tariff, which will drastically increase costs for lymphedema patients and the industry partners who provide these essential medical garments.
🔹 The Liberal Party of Canada has just selected its new leader, Mark Carney, to replace Justin Trudeau. This is a critical moment to make our voices heard and demand that medical compression garments be removed from the tariff list.

💡 How You Can Help:

✅ Share this petition with your networks – friends, family, healthcare providers, and patient groups. Every signature adds pressure on policymakers.
✅ Contact your MP and urge them to oppose these harmful tariffs.
✅ Stay engaged! We’ll keep you updated on next steps as we fight to protect access to these essential medical garments.

📢 Let’s show the new government that this issue matters! Together, we can reach 10,000 signatures and make it clear that patients should not pay the price of a trade war.
