Carney Laments Canada’s Lost Friendship with U.S., Cites 9/11 Town’s Hospitality

Mark Carney, a prominent figure in Canadian politics, expressed deep concern over the deteriorating relationship between Canada and the United States during a speech in Gander, Newfoundland. The town gained international attention for its hospitality towards Americans stranded after the 9/11 attacks. Carney, who has been floated as a potential prime ministerial candidate, used the backdrop of Gander's history of goodwill to highlight the current strained ties, attributing much of the tension to former U.S. President Donald Trump's policies, including tariffs that have impacted Canadian industries.

During his visit, Carney made it clear that he is ready to engage with the U.S. on Canada's terms, signaling his willingness to step into a leadership role to mend the relationship. His comments come amid speculation about snap elections in Canada, where foreign policy, particularly with its southern neighbor, could play a pivotal role. Carney's critique of Trump's tariffs and his call for a return to cooperative relations reflect broader sentiments within Canada about the need for a reset in bilateral relations.
