Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is “walking away from a bad deal” with the United States and will match 50 per cent tariffs “dollar-for-dollar” in industries like steel and dairy.
Carney confirmed he was “reluctantly” adding tariffs that would add costs in some areas for Canadians, but insisted they were necessary to retaliate against United States President Donald Trump’s levies.
“We cannot accept what they’ve offered, and we will not give what they asked,” Carney declared in Ottawa on Saturday morning.
The prime minister said talks had taken place with the United States over the past year, and accelerated in recent days. He suggested his team had been skeptical, but optimistic a deal could be reached.
Carney said Canada’s trade negotiations had taken place knowing the United States’ “signature was written in pencil,” with negotiators still hoping to “strike a fair deal” with its southern neighbour.
“We can’t control the storm that blows in from Washington,” the prime minister said. “We can, however, chart a new course by building Canada strong at home and diversifying our trading relationships abroad.”
He added the United States “asked too much and offered too little” as negotiations dragged on this week.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said in a post on social media he was “disappointed” the United States had chosen to levy more tariffs.
“Canadians must stand united to defend our country against these unfair attacks on our jobs and businesses,” he wrote.
“Canada cannot accept one-sided tariffs that will deindustrialize our country. Nor can we accept a bad deal. Instead, we must continue the fight for tariff-free trade. Later today, I will seek a call with the Prime Minister to discuss what we can do to fight for our workers, businesses, and economy.”
Talks stalled
The tariffs had initially been set to take effect on Wednesday, before United States President Donald Trump delayed them by three days to allow intensifying trade talks to continue.
While the president claimed “we have a deal” with Canada, officials on the Canadian side were more cautious, pointing to disagreements on the finer details of legal language.

Then, in a statement late on Friday, Carney said Canada was suspending trade negotiations and recalling its negotiating team to Ottawa, arguing that last-minute changes to the U.S. position were unfair, uneconomic and raised questions about the reliability of any agreement.
Carney said on Saturday there were several outstanding problems Canada had when talks stalled.
The prime minister said they included:
- Issues with the level of auto tariffs, which vehicle types would be excluded from a deal and how much Canadian content could be included
- The last-minute addition of restrictions on Canada’s ability to strike free trade deals with other countries
- Efforts to restrict “protections of our language, culture and in effect our sovereignty”
Carney said on Friday night that recent progress had not been enough to meet Canada’s objectives, which included preserving broad access to the U.S. market, reducing tariffs on key sectors and protecting Canadian businesses.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, however, blamed Canada for the collapse of the talks, saying Ottawa declined to finalize a deal under terms agreed to earlier in the week.
Carney said Canada’s retaliatory tariffs would kick in next month.
Carney to meet premiers
As the trade talks collapsed, Canada’s premiers voiced broad support for Carney’s approach.
British Columbia’s David Eby said he was in favour of a tough approach and that Canadian “politeness should never be mistaken for weakness.”
On Saturday morning, Ontario Premier Doug Ford — who maintained his silence until after talks concluded — released a letter he sent to the prime minister earlier this week, advocating for “a coordinated dollar-for-dollar, tariff-for-tariff response and the continuation of existing countermeasures.”
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who has been the most vocal opponent of retaliatory tariffs, said she didn’t want to see the countermeasures.
“My first concern today is for the Albertans and Canadians whose livelihoods are at risk from these new tariffs and counter-tariffs,” she wrote in a social media post on Friday night.
“I welcome the federal government’s intention to provide relief for those businesses that are impacted.”
The prime minister acknowledged on Saturday that Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia would likely see the brunt of the impact from the tariffs.
“The partnership that we’ve established with the premiers is crucial, fundamentally important,” Carney said.
“The essence of our First Minister’s discussion two days ago was that it’s our judgment, as we told Canadians, that we were on a path to a potential deal that would give Canada not just the best deal overall but the best deal in all of our strategic sectors that the price for that deal in our judgment was worth paying.”
The prime minister said, however, he was no longer asking premiers to bring American alcohol back to provincial liquor stores after the deal fell apart.
Carney will meet with Canada’s premiers at 1:30 p.m.

And carney a Harvard man. What a disgrace. GO YALE
@Elizabeth. Grammar. English. These are important things to the educated. Do you even know the meaning of pithy as you are using it in the wrong context.
How’s the US losing the Iraq war when there bombing the hell out of Iran?? Take about being educated.
@Anoymous. If you are talking about spelling clearly you don’t have a pithy response
Ass Up! Assholes
@Garth D. – come talk to us when you’ve passed grade 4.
Canada still crying about losing two gold medals hockey agents the US. Party on Garth.
Clearly the yanks have nothing better to do than interfere with our politics in the comments.
@Garth D. Your grammar is bad. Proving Canada is better educated. By the way, your gerrymandered money greedy democracy is failing. Have fun losing the Iraq War!
Canada won many awards in the 2022 UN democracy awards.
Canadians led the world in “mask obedience” while Trudeau won an award for his “essential goods only” ruling that became popular in many other countries.
Wait 10 years from now. USA will be doing great and Canada will be extremely impoverished even more than now. elbows up!
Just went out today and noticed that the gas prices have gone up again but that did not happen due to “walking away from dealing” did it! Wink wink”. The Canadian government has our backs and will most likely give out a few Billion in loans or benefits to keep Canadian businesses afloat during this tariff economy driving our debt load high and higher.
And coining out soon Carney will announce that he may keep the taxes off the prices of fuel as they were suppose to go back on and will sing the praise of how he is helping lower our cost of living due he great Financial leadership.
All he has to do is keep eastern Canada happy and never lose another election as our system is so broken.
This is why our country is broken and divided so much which is causing the separation talk in Alberta and Quebec. Also look at how just one group of politicians “Bloc” can control governments and never be in power only to appease one group of Canadians!
Feel sorry for Canadians. As Carney failed on his promise to Canadians, they will now feel pain and suffering as Carney can get it done.
Axe the tariffs.
So Carney gets a great deal from the US, and decides to turn it down to keep his votes in Ontario, Quebec & BC, and to hell with the rest of Canada. And he actually lies about it. Pathetic.
@ Anonymous. Canada might rate higher on some rating scale you discuss However, USA is certainly stronger and more power than Canada. You don’t even have a functioning military to speak of. Regarding freedoms ours are absolute, meanwhile your Govt freezes bank accounts and called an illegal EA against it own citizens .
@Mark. We fight justified wars in the USA. Canada runs from them or tries to pretend they fight them at a limited capacity.
trump can’t beat a bunch of camel riders.
@Erica. More misinformation. Canada scores higher than the US on world democracy and freedom indices. The US is falling on both. Perhaps look up the definition of big words before you use them.
Canada will complete its final transformation of becoming Venezuela North. A total kleptocracy.
Must be hard to be an American these days when your country is losing in Iran and universally despised around the world. Sad but karmic.
Carney a Harvard man. Yea loves America 🇺🇸
Must be tough to be a true patriot in Canada these days as the regimes under Carney and Trudeau have stripped them of any dignity they had.
Why would any American pretend to be Canadian. That’s embarrassing.
Stick it to ’em Carney! Time to drop the gloves! Nice to see Poilievre issue a statement of unity with Carney for once. We need to unify in this fight! We may not always agree politically, but this isn’t about left vs right, lib vs con. It’s about what right. Who do the Americans think they are trying to limit what other countries Canada can do business with? And changing the deal at the last second really proves how unreliable and dishonest the US is under the Trump regime. 2 more years folks… 2 more years. We can weather this! True North, Strong and Free!
@Anonymous. I would never pretend to be Canadian. Never. We have a functional military and don’t alter our national flag to appease those that believe in extreme gender ideology.
Carney failed on his main campaign pledge. He promised Canadians he was the only guy who could get a deal. With that goal, one would have to say that Carney didn’t deliver.
@AB Patriot. Pretending to be Canadian again, eh? You Americans wear our flag everywhere and pretend to be from Canada all the time. Don’t be ashamed little one.
@Kate Abott the. The US ranks much lower than Canada on world democracy and freedom indices. Have fun living in a place where armed thugs from the government roam the streets!
Good for Carney! No deal is better than a bad one!!
Well Canada wanted to go Elbows Up and then a trade war so now we are here. USA is a richer, stronger, and more powerful country. Notice, no other countries are coming to Canadas aid? As good relations with the USA is more important Canada deserves what they get
Might want to think about raising the OAP more than a few pennies, or make room for more ever increasing homeless people
In a month I predict Carney will be on his kneees begging MAGA for mercy. Canadas cannot sustain a long Tariff war with the USA. Alberta should leave Canada as we would do better a part of America no doubt.
Anonimous, I guess you are talking about your self when you say people that can’t think for themselves shouldn’t vote . Most of libaral supporters are so brainwashed , it’s astonishing. Canada is going down the drain because of Carney and the liberals and not because of Trump and his administration .
If Canada retaliates in any way Trump should put on even more tariffs. Canadas will collapse. But feels good to go Elbows Up.
if it wasn’t for America bailing Canada out they would wind up like Greece bankrupt
Canada was right to walk away. That was a very very bad deal. Carney knows what he is doing. GOOD JOB
Is it still elbows up? Or is it elbows down, buns up? Asking any sheep like liberal to respond.
Canada has been an unreliable trading partner and ally. The freeloaded of the America Military and Intelligence apparatus. Canada should not expect by default free access to the American economy. Too bad if you don’t like it
I make stupid comment’s everyday. Today I took dumbest comment of the year by a landslide. I’m a donkey trained by global. I eat propaganda for breakfast. Help me
The US says it wants to punish US consumers and businesses. Canada responds by punishing Canadian consumers and businesses. The problem is that the US economy is an elephant, the Canadian economy by comparison is a monkey ( there is a joke here somewhere!) We suffer from high unemployment, high taxes, high immigration and low productivity! How does shooting ourselves in the face help?
@anonymous I never said Carney said he had a deal I said all the Liberals in the comments said they had a great deal. Carney did give protecting Quebec culture and language has one of the 3 reasons he walked away from the deal. Read the article on Global titled these 3 issues torpedoed them. Also throwing insults gets you nowhere
The US tried to restrict Canada’s trade deals with other countries. The US tried to get Canada to use their tariffs rates on other countries.
The wanted us to subordinate our international trade relationships to them.
Because Trump is so good at them and has such a good reputation internationally.
Turn off oil and hydro for a month and don’t ship any lumber.
Smart move!
trump told america three days ago that he has a deal with Canada.
bwahahahahahaa….
He has deals with Iran, Greenland, Denmark, Venezuela and Palestine too.
lolololololol….just phuck off Donnie.
Carney said with US agreements, “sometimes its signature was written in pencil” showing how untrustworthy the US administration is.
@Willow: You on LSD again? Show us an url where Carney said that liar.
That was trump saying a deal was done.
He must have meant for another reflecting pool or another ball room.
He is insane.
Seriously.
trump needs to buy more golden statues of himself.
Maybe more reflecting pools for him to look at too.
Karnee is useless sackoturd, hopefully cunada done with him soon!
How is it that the AB premier can be pro Canadian unity and a separatist at the same time? Hmmm check her funding source and her credentials…poor leadership and poor management = poor AB…surely there’s a more qualified alternative?
Trump is Just a useless piece of pantie waste 🗑
Hopefully the World is Done with him soon!
So all Carney supporters were saying a day ago what a fantastic deal Carney got and yet here we are with 50% tariffs and they are still saying how wonderful Carney is for protecting Canada the only Canadians Carney is protecting is Quebec
When you are at the food bank because you lose your job make sure to think of Carney spending &250k on in flight catering that include beef Wellington, lobster, and expensive wine and spirits.
I hope USA does a full boycott of Canada. Trump is leveling the playing field and doing right for the USA. Proud he is my President
Idiots
Carney is a total fool evidently.
bunch of maga trolls with a little sprinkling of cia trying to disparage canada. obviously they havent visited their own southern states if they want to see impoverished.i’ll take canada any day.
I find it outrageous Quebec Culture and Language is part of a trade deal. Quebec did not ever come to Alberta help and they continue to block new pipelines. The rest of Canada should not be put at risk over Quebec.
When the U.S. was founded, it was suppose to be the United State of North America. The British colonies, in now Canada, stayed loyal, So no North America.
Jump ahead some 36 years, 1812, England is busy with the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, the U.S. thought we’ll invade Canada, the English are to busy to stop us!
This just the next war! President Dump, wants to go into the history books as the guy who made it the united state of north america.
Everyone I drive into Quebec from NY I can’t believe the difference. Quebec seems so impoverished, like a poor old ex communist state. Even parts of Russia are way nicer. New Brunswick is even worse. Feel sorry for the people living there.
Somehow we are supposed to believe that we need to support what Carney is doing or we are not proud Canadians ?
How about putting economics ahead of politics.
Failing to get atrade deal is not good for Canada.
Failing to get a deal is not something to be proud of.
Why are most of you so anti Canada, anti Carney (who else would you prefer?) and willing to bend over for Trump. Stand up to the Orange nutcase, boycott as many USA products as you can. Elbows Up. Screw the States.
The deal wouldn’t help Brookfield profit margins so Carney walked away. 91% invested in America. The weaker canada is in comparison to USA then his investments increase in value.
Vinny, it’s not just Russian and MAGA bots, but also some Canadian Conservatives, the latter being ones that wanted to bow to the US. Bunch of cowards in my opinion. They’re more worried about their shareholder dividends than the country as a whole. We have the upper hand in this situation. Oil, potash, natural gas, critical minerals, electricity to name a few. All exported to the US at a subsidized price. Time to charge them market pricing and add a 50% tariff to it. Or just stop the exports to them We have other markets buying these items and they want even more.
@Wayne F Wilson Why don’t you stop all buying of groceries and see how long you last. The same goes for Canada, more than 80% of our trade is with the USA so stopping trading with them is commercial suicide for Canada. Gotta love Liberal logic DUH!!!!
In my 60 plus years have never been so embarrassed to be a cunadian, like living in a giant toilet bowl full of turd
Build strong Canada 🇨🇦 wonder what the states will get out of making everyone alienate them. No minerals no fertilizer no lumber no steel no maple syrup. Yeah that would make me want to go live there and that was a shot to the separatists. Don’t like it here then cross the line and leave your passport
Look like Russian and US ghouls invaded this forum. Can these guys tell me if Toronto is the capital of Canada?
Can someone tell why libs are so facking reetarded?
In my 60 plus years I have never been so proud to be a Canadian.
Our leaders listened to the people who repeated, “No deal is better than a bad deal.’
November will bring change. We can survive.
I think Carney submarines the deal as he doesn’t want KXL to be completed. That would provide huge wealth to Alberta, which he doesn’t want
Someone said one of the three reasons was Quebec culture. No. Canadian culture. Second reason they changed the terms at the last minute. Third reason US wanted to prevent us from making other trade agreements. Your point was pointless, like an agreement written in pencil.
I hope Carneys failures will spur more desire from Albertans to join the Separation movement to exit Canada. Carney is setting Canada down the full self destruction path.
The US citizens in the comments supporting their own administration is laughable. Why are you here
So one of the 3 reasons Carney walked away is to protect Quebec culture and french language. That means Carney has thrown the rest of Canada under the bus to protect the Liberal’s golden idol and to hell with the rest of Canada who will now be forced to live with the 50% tariff hit to our economy. Great job Trump whisperer and Quebec sycophant Carney.
I believe Greer over Carney. Carney totally lied about the GH Bridge deal.
Can’t will now feel much pain and long term suffering as Carney failed to get a deal that he promised during the 2025 election campaign.
Love all the details?
How about some actual info?
Can we see the actual sticking points? The actual wording? Forgive me, but Liberal government has not exactly been that transparent in the last decade.

Carney’s whole speech is on his youtube channel. I would suggest that everyone watch it before commenting. The one I just watched was 54:53 long. Here’s some notes:
24:25 Canada’s current strength
27:15 US last minute deal breaking asks
43:52 foreboding
To help people find this fast on youtube
What’s the title of the Video on youtube?
And could you post the title for the rest of us, much appreciated.
Poilievre is waiting for instructions from Trump before speaking.
“The Americans sign their agreements in pencil,” said Carney. Truer words have not been spoken.
@annoying pp
Yeah ok buddy….
What “job well done” has transpired?
What exactly has your glorious leader done in the last year and a half?
Yankee poodles. We’ll see after November what things look like. If the pervs still hold majorities then it’s rigged.
Canada’s french negotiators failed the country.
Jeez who would have seen that coming. Trump said no dairy cartels. Carney says they stay. Smucks and amateurs negotiating on our side. Elbows up suckers. You won’t get it until you suffer.
Why does Canada not stand up to Trump and STOP ALL EXPORTS to USA NOW
Good decision.
@Ben you are an idiot. How is Poilievre even a part of these discussions. Carney has screwed Canadians and that should be front a centre in any discussions.
Carney is almost as wishy-washy as Trump. It is impossible to believe anything either one of them says.
@anonymous 2.08pm
So your logic is we should now live with 50% tariffs on our goods going into the USA. That is going to kill industries in Canada, increase unemployment and create more homelessness debt and poverty in Canada. What a great perspective to have just to thumb your nose at Trump. The great Trump whisperer Carney who was going to get a deal within a month of being elected has now run away from the only deal available to Canada that would at least have given us a lifeline. Now our economy is jus waiting for its MAiD moment to out it out of its Liberal created misery.
@ fred. sounds like Vancouver 👍
Poor Lutnick got his comeuppance. Karma.
Like Carney said, Trump and the USA has agreements in pencil. Canada honours all our foreign trade agreements. Poilievre is out bashing Canada again.
Carney’s whole speech is on his youtube channel. I would suggest that everyone watch it before commenting. The one I just watched was 54:53 long. Here’s some notes:

Good, there is only one way to treat a bully, refuse to play his game. The more you give a bully the more he takes
Conservatives who put down carney and want a bad deal with usa where they rip us off. Shame on you fools who are brainwashed and used by elites. Just cause carnies a liberal you bash the desicions, no other reason. Yiu people who cant think for themselves should not vote. Grow up.
Wow the division see in these comments shows just how bad Canada has become in the past decade. There is no good political group in Canada any more and all the leaders are just out for themselves to keep their voters happy without and care to get this once great respected country back together.
We wonder why the separation talk is so prevalent in parts of the west and Quebec who look to elect a separatist party as their government yet out present leaders do nothing but blame a leader from a foreign country! So sad of Canadians.
They say they will buy Canadian but still go to Walmart, Costco and all the other American owned businesses. Also Tim Hortons and they say that they only buy Canadian products!
Our costs will continue to rise and all we see is Leberals blaming Trump and Conservatives blaming Liberals and the crazy circle keeps spinning. Maybe ask and demand more of the very elected representatives that you voted for do work for Canadians and bring down our cost of living!
Oh well, i support walking away from flip flop bully negotiations. We can have a deal when there’s adults on the other side who want to make a deal in good faith.
If all the liberal supporters don’t like to see Carney critisized all the time for his poor decisions, choose a new leader.
I fully believe there was a deal and at the last minute the americons tried to change it in their favor. Glad carney told them to shove it. Not a liberal, just sick of the perv administration down south.
Yeah, this is 100% ego and of zero benefit to Canadians.
Liberals are destroying Canada and pointing fingers at everyone but themselves.
Lol silly confused old fella lol the states should be saying your fired like on the apprentice we dont need the united states for anything im sure we can produce grow or manufacture any thing we get from the states !!they are not needed .
What “guess not” is saying is if we don’t want a lying PM destroying our country, we have to figure out a way to stop Liberal’s from stealing our elections.
All the Carney bashers are out in full force. If you guys want someone different, choose a new leader for the conservatives, and then Maybe, just maybe, things will change.
Leblanc said yesterday they were close to a deal. Carney says it was a bad deal all along. Why did Carney beg the Premiers to put US alcohol back on the shelves Carney is a liar and I don’t believe his story.
Good riddance to america
Carney just schooled Trump on the Art Of The Deal.
From someone who has spent the better part of his life serving his country in uniform, Thank you Prime Minister Carney for looking out for the true Canadians, not the chronic complainers who have done nothing for this country.
A job well done, Sir.
Vote with your wallet. I haven’t bought anything American since the orange dude returned. Not always Canadian, but definitively not American! Car, dishwasher, etc…. Not even my onion…. Companies like Costco that employ good Canadian jobs, I will support…. But everything else, Boycott USA everything!! When I see people buying American products, I consider them a traitor to our country.
Conservatives are THE biggest whiners! If you’re so unhappy, fly south you bunch of Yankee lovers.
Carney needs to goooooo!!! This guy is ruining Canada faster than a shart in new underwear. Bailing out companies for his own interests, bringing in immigrants for our taxes to pay for, sending billions to other countries when this country is starving, watching the people who he is sworn to protect struggle……now he’s burning bridges with our greatest allies. Something has to be done. Elbows up liberals makes me laugh.🤣🤮 More like asses up, here comes more pain.
Greer says Carney is lying to Canadians again…
“Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days.”
Carneys nose was starting to grow when he was talking.
So basically it was going well until trump waddled in, patted his diaper, and started screaming 51st state again. Remember every word out of hoeskstras mouth is almost guaranteed to be the opposite of reality
Carney is NOT a politician but he’s here, in Canada, to RAPE the country and Canadians!! He’s not here for us, realize the facts!
Time for elbows up . But the pants are down. The entire time
Yeah right, it was the USA that walked away from a bad deal. Carnival thought he could bully Trump into last minute changes. Enjoy the 35% tariffs and counter-tariffs from your foolish trade war losers…
As history has shown, tariffs will just raise prices for the Americans. In fact, they already have surpassed a RECORD debt of $40 trillion and all thanks to Trump. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. The Americans taxpayers are going to suffer. Only time will show. I stopped buying anything made from the Americans, including major appliances. We are not even looking into getting an American made car. No vacations to the USA for the past years. We just returned from a $20K a trip to Japan and never having to worry about being shot or killed, arrested by ICE, or harrased or mugged if we went to the USA.
Im not a liberal supporter. Bit today Mr Carney has gained my respect by walking away from a bad deal that hurts this great country of ours .People need to realize the great sacrafice our grandparents and great grandparents made for our freedoms, We can not allow a bully in the US to basically own this country because of a bad deal .Congratulations to Mr Carney for sticking up for this country of ours . I believe we live in the Greatest country in the world lets not forget that
@ Amanda: Phuck off yank troll.
Of course that separatist DS wants a federal handout to support businesses…..while continuing to try and separate and divide the country at the same time. Cupid Stunt!
Carney never intended to get a deal. He walked away at the last moment for his own interests. Carney promised a trade deal over a year ago.
Do any of the fake americans or the other american butt suckers here have any new pictures of the masters shwick? I haven’t seen him in a while so my pictures are outdated.
@Auntie Olive.
I not a big fan of regular camouflage, too drab.I will be going with a bright red floral pattern so the invaders think I’m a rose bush.Then suddenly I will rise up with a high pitched scream and attack.
Good to have you on board commrade Olive ! Let’s get some !!!
We don’t need Canada. We can get things from other countries instead. I am happy Trump is protecting the USA.
Most grocery stores in canada are u.s. they sell 75 % in u.s. 25 % in canada. they make 25 % profit in u s and 75 % in canada. please do something to either equalize it of they refund extra profit to canadian government
Carney never wanted a deal. He wants to continue the Liberal desire to tank the Canadian economy, thus driving Canada closer to other Socialist countries.
This way he gets to continue to blame it all on president Pompous.
Naturally, trying to work an economy using cross ocean shipping will not work. But they do not care. It is all about the socialist governance.
Hey Liberal Larry: You sound like the perfect meat shield. What are your colours so we can coordinate? Tally Ho!
How much longer is that clown going to be left as the president of those good people in the United States? He needs to get removed from office, he is causing too much turbulence in the world, he is just a bully. The good American people need to use his favorite phrase from back in the day he loved so much… YOUR FIRED!
OK Elbows Up Army, we need to get ready for a U.S. invasion . We’re going to show them how tough we Liberal Men really are.The first thing we need to do is disguise ourselves from the enemy.Dressing like women works best.Not only is it fun but it will catch the invaders off guard. I look fabulous in floral prints by the way.Then we need to load up on tampons and slingshots.Those assault style rifles are loud and scary, so hard pass. We will meet them at the border with protest signs,then hit them with a volley of tampons and empty Palm Bay cans .We will be victorious!
Sounds like the total fraud Carney is trying to project his team’s unfair tactics onto the Americans. I’m more inclined to believe Greer than Carney.
From elsewhere: “…new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days,” U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said”.
America pays the tariffs. You cannot judge anyone when dealing with evil from Washington. Maintain the Canada boycott help each other out the USA is the bad one here the whole world knows it.
So, in a nutshell, it sounds like the US wanted exclusive access to some of Canada’s resources while at the same time trying to dictate what countries Canada could and couldn’t trade with. That would mean more reliance on the US and put Canada on the road to becoming a satellite country of the US. Canada rightfully walked away from a bad deal.
He is lying again. If he knew that the deal was not fair for Canada why did he ask the premiers to restock American booze. Now he says to stand pat. He read the polls.
What a bunch of drivel! A few days ago Carney was accused of catering to Trump and sending Canada down the river. Now he’s brought his negotiating team back and refused to sign off on a document that has US changes added to the original, everyone is criticizing him again.
The caviar and lobster vacation is the biggest form of drivel I have ever read.

August 22, 2026 at 11:28 am: As a senior I object to your disinformation. Yes, some seniors have their own home, but that doe not make them rich. IF they sell their home, they only have that to pay for rent for the rest of their lives. Most would outlive the value in their house. Many live on just CPP and OAS, which is less than those getting disabled welfare.
I still have to pay the US caused price for gas, and food. Most seniors are hurting just as much as the rest of Canadians.
He will agree after By elections this month. He is a Liberal after all. I ask this question, we had a deal with the USA for access to there market and recently the Liberals plans were to increase our population to 100 million thru immigration and the still though they could increase production and manufacturing to supply the American market. Too Funny.
Time to.open up our resources. Piss on the indians and environmentalists. Let’s start building our economy
@Ann from Quebec Thinking logically given that Carney has now declared open warfare on the USA, Canadians are screwed and will suffer loss of jobs and more inflation which will create even more suffering for already struggling families and seniors on fixed incomes. But Carney will continue to spend hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars eating caviar and lobster when he flies to make a trade deal with some far flung country that ends up giving us a 1% trade deal. Elbows up Eh !!!
Yesterday Carney bootlickers who live on these comment pages were stating Carney got a good deal, now after the talks collapse, it was a bad deal.
this is what happens when a communist nation has no money , no prospects and can’t fund it’s parasitic welfare state without the kindness of strangers. more incoming poverty and lower quality of life assured.
The Canadian collapse continues
@Anonymous. Looks like Poilievre echoed what Carney said. Thinking logically instead of through partisan politics would help.
@Lori. Maybe think about country first. Seniors are very much NOT affected and have the highest wealth amongst generations
If Trump is listening to this he is probably thumbing through the dictionary to see what some of the words mean
Way to care for Canada and Canadians who will not be bullied!!!
It’s going to hurt fixed income 65 years and older. Please send help our way. Hit them hard in the energy sector and they will crumble. No potassium either!!
@Ann from Quebec No Ann you couldn’t be more wrong. Conservatives love Canada they just don’t like the Carney Liberals because they have virtually destroyed not only our economy and brought suffering to Canadian families but they have also denied that there are Canadian values and culture. Your Mr Socks said it and Carney reinforced it. No Ann, if any hate Canada it is the Liberals.
Once Carney and Trump are gone everything will return to normal? Millionaires making rules for the working slobs
@anonymous “You will all have to continue to make sacrifices while I vacation and eat Normandy buttercups.“ Absolutely spot on with your comment about Carney’s elitist attitude toward ordinary Canadians. “Let them eat cake” is what Carney believes when it comes to the struggles of Canadian families in his economy.
All marshmallow like usual …. You never say anything concrete. The Canadian dairy industry needs competition. Stop protecting the rich business people at the cost of the general public. Oh wait that’s who this government supports …. If anyone thinks we can go blow for blow with the USA on tarriffs? You need 10-15 years is wealth to outlast this fight! Carney and his team have the savings to last this duration , does the average Canadian ?
You have to love how the Liberal trolls on here are trying to blame Poilievre and the Conservatives when they weren’t even at the table. Sorry guys but this mess lays at the feet of Carney and the Liberal government they were the ones at the table. Canadians need to brace for higher prices on everything now and the unemployment rate to go up with companies closing
The great Trump whisperer fails yet again to get a deal with Trump. I wonder how all the Liberal trolls will find a way to blame Poilievre for Carney’s incompetence.
Anyone who believes a word this man says needs their brain checked. He Iied from his very first day running to replace Trudeau. He took credit for the work done in 2008 by the late Jim Flaherty, because he knew that the role of monetary policy is trivial compared to fiscal policy.
His first three policy announcements were lifted directly from Pierre, reversing the carbon tax he himself had pushed for, canceling the planned change to Capital Gains, and housing under 1M dollars. All taken from Polliveire. He went on to win an election, all while the LPC used Trump as a boogeyman to suggest that Canadian Conservatives are somehow associated with American Conservatives.
Throughout all this Parliament was prorouged, the government was not having to face questions in the House. More importantly we had no one speaking to the incoming Trump administration. The federation of premiers led by Doug Ford had to assume that role.
All this because of Trudeau’s vanity and delaying our last election, thanks to the cover provided by Singh and the NDP. Carney as economic advisor to Trudeau turned away Germany and Japan from our LNG, yet now he chases those same deals.
Meanwhile over 100k Canadians moved away from Canada in 2024, a record number. The following year a new record was set of 120k. 40 percent of our Manufactures are actively planning a move to the USA as per KPMG. We import 70 percent of our food due to our climate. And we have Carney spending a year antagonizing the baby in the oval office with ‘middle power’ speeches, while the rest of the G7 got their trade deals signed.
The Lost Liberal Decade because we have voters who didn’t like Harper’s haircut, an Economist, and thought Trudeau, a drama teacher, had nice socks.
Communists talk about “sacrifice” and the “collective good”. Communism has already shown it is a failure. Carney has doomed Canada.
Well I guess everyone feels foolish that said what a wonderful deal Carney got. Well all we got was more tariffs now at 50%. A pulp and paper mill in BC is going to sit idle on Oct19th 400 people will lose their jobs. What a great economy Carney and this Liberal government had created for Canada.
Great day for me, totally loving that Canada is going to be punished. I love Trump and MAGA
Will Carney lie just like he did with the Goldie Howe bridge deal.
Yeah anonymous gets it, hopefully the rest of Canadians do, carney and the progressive liberal party do not care about Canada nor Canadians, they have been saying the exact same garbage for years, even during trudeau and his stumbling.
If it doesn’t enrich carney, Brookfield, or the liberals, he ain’t going for it, and Canadians will suffer for his arrogance, and have been suffering.
Tell me, why does carney send millions of dollars to other countries when Canadians are unable to eat, or support themselves because taxes are through the roof, homelessness is the worst since ever in Canada and carney sends millions to Africa or Ukraine, how many Canadians must be sacrifice before it’s too much? How much garbage dumping in our lakes and forests?
When Canada? When is it enough?
Carney should call an election and shut the conservatives up. They have nothing good to say about this country.
Time to ban US junk food that is destroying Canadians’ health.
Poilievre is silent waiting for instructions from Trump.
Carney said no deal is better than a bad deal. The US wanted us as their vassal state and the Poilievre conservatives support that.
Carney to Canadian’s
“You will all have to continue to make sacrifices while I vacation and eat Normandy buttercups.
Everybody should just remain patience and wait for my next speech at Davos where I will explain why globalism and elitism are so important to your future”
