With a critical U.S. trade deadline approaching, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and provincial premiers are united in refusing to accept a bad deal from President Trump, even as the threat of new tariffs looms.
Carney has emphasized that substance is more important than speed, insisting Canada will only sign an agreement that serves its best interests. Provincial leaders, especially Ontario's Doug Ford, are calling for strong retaliatory measures and a 'Buy Canada' push if talks fail. The premiers' summit in Ontario has focused on economic unity, internal trade, and Indigenous partnerships, but divisions remain over how aggressively to respond to U.S. actions.
Despite mounting pressure, Canada is prepared to use all available time to negotiate, signaling a tough stance in the face of escalating trade tensions.
