As the August 1 deadline for a new trade agreement with the United States approaches, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and provincial premiers are united in refusing to accept a deal that doesn't benefit Canada.
Despite mounting pressure from President Trump and the threat of steep tariffs, Carney insists that substance matters more than speed, and Canada will not settle for a 'bad deal.' The premiers, while differing on tactics, broadly support a strong stance and are considering retaliatory measures if necessary. The ongoing talks highlight deep concerns about the impact of US tariffs on Canadian industries and the importance of maintaining national sovereignty.
With negotiations still uncertain, Canada is also exploring closer ties with other trading partners, including China.
