PM Carney Tries to Unite Canada: Will the Premiers Put Canada First?

When the provinces work together, all of Canada wins. Can somebody explain that to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith? Today, Prime Minister Mark Carney meets with the Premiers to discuss uniting the provinces through increased inter-provincial free trade, particularly. Let’s talk about why past efforts to eliminate trade obstacles have faltered, and why now — amid rising external pressures like Trump’s tariffs — unity is more important than ever. It’s time for the premiers to put the national interest ahead of provincial politics to build a stronger, more cooperative Canadian economy.In Episode 153, Bill weighs in on a crucial topic that’s dividing the country — and not just politically. Echoing Jason Kenney’s call for action, Bill dives into the stubborn issue of inter-provincial trade barriers, a long-standing challenge that continues to undermine Canada’s economic potential. With Mark Carney setting a bold target to address these trade issues by Canada Day, the clock is ticking for provincial premiers to act.
