Canada PM slams US ties

Carney's blunt rebuke marks a significant shift in one of the world's most stable bilateral relationships.

He emphasized that Canada must 'take care of itself' and correct its over-reliance on its southern neighbor under the shadow of the Trump presidency.

The Prime Minister's comments come amid an ongoing trade war and geopolitical instability that has strained the historic alliance.

Opposition leaders and strategists are now weighing the potential economic and diplomatic fallout of this pivot.
