With a U.S.-imposed trade deadline fast approaching, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and provincial premiers are united in refusing to accept a bad trade deal with President Trump.
The Canadian government is prioritizing substance over speed, insisting that any agreement must be in the best interest of Canadians, even if it means missing the August 1 deadline and facing new tariffs. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and others are calling for strong retaliatory measures, including tariffs and potential export taxes, if negotiations fail. The premiers' summit in Ontario has focused on economic unity, Indigenous partnerships, and strategies to withstand U.S. trade pressure.
Despite the high stakes and complex talks, Canada is signaling it will use all available time to secure the best possible outcome.
