Carney Defends Canada’s Trade Stance | Vancouver News

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney fires back at U.S. officials who claimed Canada walked away from trade talks for political reasons, calling out unelected U.S. cabinet members as unqualified to judge Canadian politics. He argues the U.S. imposed last-minute demands — including auto tariffs, heavy-duty truck duties, and restrictions on language and cultural protections — that made a deal impossible. While U.S. reps deny French language provisions were an issue, Carney points to shifting U.S. positions as evidence of inconsistent negotiation tactics. Still, he insists Canada remains open to a fair, worker-friendly trade deal — ready to resume talks when the U.S. is willing to play ball.
