Canada will do whatever it takes in trade war with US, says Carney
Carney said Canada will do whatever it takes as premiers pressed Ottawa for a forceful trade response and renewed U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement talks.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney convened all 13 provincial and territorial leaders in Charlottetown, P.E.I., to coordinate response to U.S. President Donald Trump's orders imposing 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods effective Aug. 19.
- Trump administration officials cited provincial liquor bans, Canada's supply-managed dairy system and U.S. vehicle quotas as justification for the tariffs, prompting the 13 leaders to call for intensified efforts to renew the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement.
- Carney drew parallels to the Fathers of Confederation who signed binding agreements in the same Charlottetown location, telling reporters Canada is "in a stronger position than we were when this trade war started" and declaring "when Team Canada is united, there is nothing we cannot do."
- The 13 provincial and territorial leaders are pressing for increased federal health-care funding and accelerated project approvals, with P.E.I. Premier Rob Lantz calling for an "aggressive" approach to negotiations and urging negotiators to "put everything on the table."
- With the Aug. 19 tariff deadline approaching, the coordinated provincial response positions Carney's negotiators to pursue trade renewal talks, as Carney said Canada has "many more advantages" than the Fathers of Confederation faced.
