We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump's unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty.
And so let's talk a bit about Carney. What's his background?
Carney would go on to run Canada's central bank. This was at a crucial moment during the 2008 global financial crisis.
Imagine such a thing.
Carney would run that bank during another crisis, Brexit.
Then, Carney got a chance to lead on his home turf. Justin Trudeau has announced he's stepping down as the prime minister of Canada and as the leader of his party. After Trudeau's resignation earlier this year, Carney stepped in to replace him, and he soon called for an election.
In only five weeks, Carney gained enough support to win. Was Carney's rise surprising to you?
So how is Carney planning to take on Trump? That's next.
Carney went on the message that he would stand up for Canada and its economy. But that economy was shaky even before Trump took office.
And tariffs, I would imagine, have made that worse.
Carney has already taken some action against Trump's tariffs. He imposed counter-tariffs against the U.S. earlier this month. And he's looking to strike a new trade deal with Trump.
So as the trade relationship with the U.S. becomes shakier and something that Canada can't rely on, Carney's looking to deepen that relationship with other countries.
But could any of these potential deals with other countries or blocs like Europe actually replace the U.S.?
So he's looking to diversify the trade relationships, but that only goes so far.
What about this idea that Trump has floated repeatedly of making Canada the 51st state? What can you expect to see from Carney about that?
President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us. That will never, that will never, ever happen.
Carney's liberal party fell short of a majority in the parliament. That means that Carney will have to work with rival politicians to get things done. How much can Carney really do when it comes to standing up to Trump? How much leverage does he have? How much power does he have?
