Carney says Ottawa is ready to restart talks after the August collapse, but only for a deal that protects sovereignty and cultural institutions.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed President Donald Trump's weekend remark that a trade deal could come "fairly soon," reiterating his belief that a "mutually advantageous" agreement remains possible.

- The prime minister stated there is "not a pride thing" regarding who initiates resumed negotiations, suggesting the administration may better understand Canada's non-negotiable red lines for a future deal.
