Poilievre Warns Carney on Trade Deadlines | Calgary News

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is slamming Prime Minister Carney for what he calls a disastrous trade strategy with the U.S., accusing him of giving away too much without securing real results—especially after missing the July 2025 deadline by over a year and a half. Poilievre argues Canada’s concessions before even sitting at the negotiating table are counterproductive. Meanwhile, Carney insists there are multiple ways to structure a deal, pointing out that U.S. tariffs on aluminum have actually raised prices in America by 58%. As tensions rise—with U.S. threats of new tariffs on billions in Canadian goods set to hit August 19th—Canadian workers and businesses feel the pressure. The U.S. pushes for interim deals by 2026, while Canada focuses on tariff relief for key sectors like dairy and alcohol. Poilievre is urging Carney to act now to cancel tariffs and restore free access to the U.S. market, warning that failure could mean more job losses in vital industries.
