Mark Carney Rebukes US Ties

Carney emphasized that Canada can no longer rely on a single foreign partner and must take active steps to protect its economy from disruptions caused by Washington.

He called for a shift toward greater self-reliance and the diversification of trade partners to ensure national security and future prosperity.

The Prime Minister's comments represent a watershed moment in the historic alliance between the two neighbors.

The address has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising his boldness and others warning of the risks of distancing Canada from its largest trading partner.
