The status quo is not going to cut it for Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at his Tuesday meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington.
With an unemployment rate of 7.1%, the highest level in nine years and half a percentage point higher since the start of this year, Canada’s economy is faltering. Steep tariffs Trump slapped on cars, steel and aluminum — key Canadian exports to the United States — are making matters worse.
And Carney’s meeting is happening just as Trump is prepared to deal another blow to the Canadian economy: tariffs on softwood and lumber, among the top goods the United States imports from its northern neighbors.
“It makes a difference to have face-to-face time with Trump,” said Inu Manak, a senior fellow for international trade at the Council on Foreign Relations. The pressure is on Carney to leverage it.
Canadians are increasingly concerned about the cost of living and the overarching state of the economy, according to a poll conducted last week by Abacus Data of 1,500 adults, who ranked the top issues facing Canada.
“There is a necessity on the part of the (Canadian) government to shift away from so much of the focus on Trump and being anti-Trump and really think about what they can do to improve the lives of Canadians day-to-day,” Manak said.
Tariffs on exports to the United States can still raise prices for Canadians because the raw materials cross borders to produce finished goods, said Jeffrey Schott, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

When you bite the hand that feeds you, bad things happen.
Not only Canada's economy, but even worse are their moral standards, which have sunk to hull-crushing depths of satanic depravity.
Why talk to him at all?
He may wait until the next election and then negotiate a better deal with Pierre.
Maybe Carney should stop bringing in Indians , Africans and muslims then giving each of them $4000.00 a month of TAXPAYER’S money , more money than a lot of Canadians get a month
Not so tough now are ya?
“He may wait until the next election and then negotiate a better deal with Pierre.”
trump doesn’t need to a deal or need to “negotiate”: canada is the country suffering and trump holds all the cards ... trump should simply push for zero tariffs in both directions ... period ...
People who Lack God will always be able to sink even lower then anyone thought possible.
They can go even further then they have.
best bring his knee pads along with every other world leader.
Because International Relations are in Trump’s job description.
Trump should feed him a nice lunch, listen sympathetically and then send him on his way with a firm but polite no. Something like “Not today, Satan”.
I hate that 47 lavishes personal praise on global scum like Carney and Starmer. They are enemies of their peoples.
He’s be a good 51’t state governor and Trump would be a great secretary of state under JD.
Marco? El Presidente(Cuba).
Trump should not f n do that unless they are willing o cave.
I’ve dealt online with liberal Canadian twats, they are so damned smug with their superiority complex.
Can’t handle facts at all.
They fantasize about going full Wolverines, with the majority unable to load a revolver correctly. The ones who know guns want to secede.
Canada has been freeloading off the USA market for decades. They cannot find alternative markets to sell their stuff. We don’t need ANYTHING from them, including their beer.
The trade imbalance days are OVER.
The trade imbalance days are OVER.
We'll make a deal. Build a new pipeline to Alberta and allow an American company to drill for oil there.
They can have access to our American market in return.

(Canada’s) Mark Carney Is Incredibly Dangerous

The 60-year-old (Mark Carney) didn’t rise through politics. He was not elected. HE WAS INSTALLED — by the very institutions that profit most from technocratic control and public obedience.
Goldman Sachs.
The Bank of Canada.
The Bank of England.
The Financial Stability Board.
The World Economic Forum.
Bilderberg.
The Trilateral Commission.
The Council for Inclusive Capitalism.
This is a man who has spent his entire adult life inside the machinery of Global Finance and Elite Governance. Now, he’s running a country.
Carney is no fool. He speaks in the hushed tones of central bankers. He uses the sterile vocabulary of “sustainability,” “transition,” and “inclusive growth.”
But behind the euphemisms is a Blueprint for Absolute Control.
At the center of that Blueprint is the
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
Carney has long supported the deployment of CBDCs, programmable money Issued and Controlled by the State.
This is infrastructure for OBEDIENCE
sold as INNOVATION. Unlike physical cash,
a CBDC can be TRACKED, RESTRICTED,
AND DEACTIVATED IN REAL-TIME.
It allows the government — or its banking partners —
to Control not just HOW MUCH you spend,
BUT WHERE,
ON WHAT, and
WHETHER YOU’RE ALLOWED TO SPEND AT ALL.
The potential for abuse is staggering.
This is not paranoia.
It is already
the REALITY in China.
There, the CCP links Digital Currency to a Nationwide Social Credit System....
Canada now in the FO phase
