PM Carney knows who our close allies are and who are not.
China, India, USA are not.
"Carney said outside of the European Union and the United Kingdom, he doesn't see Canada having "deep relationships with many countries in those areas" — even Canada's once closest ally. "

PM Carney is protecting what most Canadians want - safe dairy and food.
He will only sign a deal that is good for Canada.
So when people (con traitors) talk about countries that have already signed deals it means they want a deal that favours the USA, not Canada.

When Mark Carney became Prime Minister he said he would work with any leaders, from any party! And he has.
Meanwhile Poilievre can't even sit at a table and talk to his own MPs! #cdnpoli

Yes business needs the certainty of trade agreements

But are we going to compromise Canadian Interests once again for short term stability or do we stay the course and look to the world to find that certainty for longterm prosperity?

"If I were to boil it down to one element, which is, as we define the new trading relationship, to have an alignment of incentives so that certainty is reestablished for Canadian businesses, Canadian households," says PM Carney re: govt's conditions in CUSMA trade talks.

And we’re just getting started. 🇨🇦

Ford closed the science centre for no reason, is shrinking it dramatically, and gov’t doesn’t want you to know the truth about this.

From Day One, our new government’s goal has been to protect our communities, build our economy, and empower Canadians.

We’ve accomplished a lot together — and we’re ready to keep building in the new year.

It's a "hypothetical" scenario, but the door is unlocked.

Interim Leader Davies says the NDP is willing to consider taking the Speaker's chair if it secures resources for his reduced caucus.

Picked up a great tree for a good cause at the Fallowfield Tree Farm earlier today.

Thanks to the Salvation Army team for finding it a home, and making someone’s Christmas brighter this holiday season.
