Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump for the first time this morning.
Carney’s office says the leaders agreed to begin “comprehensive negotiations” to be led by Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
In the meantime, Carney will get back on the campaign trail, his office says.
Carney has a news conference scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET, after he meets with provincial and territorial leaders.
In a social media post, Trump said the two “agree on many things.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is still in B.C., where he pitched life sentences for fentanyl traffickers and gunrunners.-
Absolutely. Selling Canadians and Canadian industry out has been a hallmark of the 2 major parties for decades. Hopefully we see a citizen’s assembly put together so that we can start working towards electoral reform.
I don’t disagree, but also suspect our leadership has for many decades been strong-armed behind closed doors far more than the public ever got to see. We only ever see the carrot.
I’d hope that our public servants or elected reps would leak that sort of thing.
No privacy for bullies.
Maybe bankrolling the campaigns of maga-fellators like Smith and Polievre also contributes. Perhaps financing parties like Wildrose to move the Overton Window rightward and pressure energy royalties downwards, too?
I wish there were just a day where everyone had to answer questions with full honesty. But even then, I think they’d still get away with selling their countrymen down the creek, by said countrymen.
