- On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney released a 10-minute video declaring Canada's economic ties to the United States have become a "weakness" and pledging to pursue diversification to reduce reliance on the U.S.
- Mounting U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos hurt Canadian exporters, with exports to the U.S. declining nearly 6 per cent in 2025, prompting Carney to prioritize the Canada Strong plan.

- To withstand foreign disruptions, the government aims to double clean energy capacity and build new trade corridors, with Carney vowing to "never sugarcoat" the challenges of taking back control of Canada's future.
