The prime ministerial candidate responds to Donald Trump imposing 25% tariffs on Canada.

Summary

Mark Carney, frontrunner for Canadian Liberal Party leadership and potential prime minister, stated Canada will stand up to a bully after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports.

Carney vowed to retaliate by matching the US tariffs dollar for dollar, asserting Canada would not cave in despite mounting pressure.

He criticized Trump for undermining trade agreements, warning that the tariffs would damage the US global reputation and economic stability.

Outgoing Prime Minister Trudeau promised a forceful, immediate response, emphasizing unity as Canada defends its economic interests, ensuring national prosperity.

    Pharmacare? Has it arrived? Or is it something they’re still working on? As for dental added to healthcare, are you sure? Or was it just added for people with low-income?

    That’s on the Liberals, the NDP forced them into action.

    This is like the fifth time the NDP has managed to change all our lives for the better while not even the official opposition, but they get called ‘useless’ either way.

      the NDP forced them into action

      Yes, and I’m showing that the action they were forced into was so small as to be essentially meaningless. So, that undermines their accomplishments, wouldn’t you say?

      This is like the fifth time the NDP has managed to change all our lives

      All our lives? Again, is this dental plan open to everyone?

      There’s a reason they’re not even the opposition, and that’s because they can barely even convince left-leaning Canadians to support them anymore.
