What happened

Carney said that while the world is undergoing a “rupture” as the US transforms its commercial relationships, working closely with Canada in specific sectors, including aluminium, cars and critical minerals, would strengthen both countries.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Ties to China had broken down under Carney’s predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

Perspective signals
