PM Carney: Canada's Bond with America a "Weakness"

About this episode

Prime Minister Mark Carney discusses the implications of Canada's ties to the U.S. and the impact of tariffs on various sectors.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s deep ties to the U.S. are now a liability (and they need fixing) as Donald Trump’s tariffs keep workers in our auto, steel, and lumber sectors squarely in the crosshairs. Is this any different than the PM's message over the past year? We get into the strategy behind it with Supriya Dwivedi (3:45) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.
