Poilievre says Carney ‘pushing fear’ in address to Canadians on U.S. relations
Carney says Canada must reduce reliance on the U.S. market as tariffs threaten lumber, steel and auto sectors, while Poilievre calls the warning fearmongering.
- On Sunday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of "pushing fear" after Carney's 10-minute video claimed Canada's deep economic ties to the United States have become a "weakness."
- Carney argued Canada must "correct" former strengths that have become vulnerabilities, citing the 2003 Iraq invasion and 2008 financial crisis as context for why diversification away from the U.S. is necessary.
- Prince Edward Island Premier Rob Lantz called the address "poorly worded" on Monday, while New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt noted her province exports 92 per cent of goods to the U.S., calling that a "vulnerability."
- Poilievre rejected what he termed "costly illusions," demanding the government deliver tangible economic relief at grocery stores and gas pumps rather than focus on the Prime Minister's diversification rhetoric.
- United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated earlier this month he does not expect negotiations on the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement to be resolved by July 1, adding urgency to Carney's diversification efforts.
