Carney: Canada-U.S. Ties Are 'Weaknesses to Fix'

Carney: Canada-U.S. Ties Are 'Weaknesses to Fix'

The Spin


Canada's deep economic ties to the U.S. have shifted from an asset to a liability, and Carney is right to name it. Washington has weaponized trade interdependence, turning a once-mutual relationship into a national security risk. Diversifying trade and rebuilding economic independence isn't retreat — it's the smartest strategic move Canada can make right now.

Carney's anti-American posturing puts CUSMA renewal at serious risk, and that's a disaster Canada can't afford. The U.S. has legitimate grievances — supply management, pharmaceutical pricing, Buy Canadian procurement rules — that are hurting Canadian consumers too. Picking a fight instead of addressing valid trade concerns is reckless politics that could cost Canada far more than any tariff.
