A fresh round of tariffs and trade restrictions by U.S. President Donald Trump are a “miscalculation” in his trade war against Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.
Canada made the “right decision” to walk away from trade negotiations with the United States last month, Carney told the Liberal caucus.
“It wasn’t tough to draw the red lines. We could not accept what they had offered, and we would not give what they had asked. When the U.S. is ready to return to the bargaining table, we will come there to strike a deal in good faith,” said Carney, who spoke to his caucus after he return from addressing the European Parliament in France earlier this week.
The United States has imposed “new unjustified tariffs” which would “hurt workers, companies and communities” in Canada, he added.

“They’re a miscalculation because Canadians will always take care of each other,” Carney said.
The latest U.S. tariffs on a small number of Canadian goods went into effect Tuesday as Washington presses on in its trade war with Canada.
The latest tariffs come amid an ever-evolving trade war between the two countries after Canada walked away from formal negotiations last month. Carney has said the Americans made last-minute demands that would undermine Canada’s sovereignty.
Canada wants to strike a deal that “not just protects, but promotes our official languages,” Carney told the Liberal caucus.
Carney was in Europe earlier this week, where European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada its first “associate member.”
In his address to caucus, Carney said Ottawa had “launched a process for a new alliance with Europe” but did not say whether this meant the “associate member” tag.
The Liberals will also introduce the Sade Social Media Act in the fall, he added.
“I know you are hearing the concerns of families and educators in your own communities. Children are falling victim to sexual abuse, cyberbullying, and extreme violence online. The current status quo is failing our kids, and we will not stand by it,” Carney told Liberal MPs.

Global News is playing with fire.
Liberals are dumb.
Carney says, ” Canadians will always take care of Canadians.” Is he aware of the referendums going on around him ? It should have been, ” Canadians will always take care of Ontario, ” as long as the Liberals are in power, which is virtually always.
Was expecting the “due to sensitive nature of topic comments not allowed” but I guess if Trump the topic, TDS is welcomed on corrupt bias Canadian Press article.
USA and Canda are girl friend – boy friends.. they f.. each other and now both get f.. from Immigrants !
Canada is doomed and Alberta will help the USA put the nails in the coffin. Such a disfuctional country. So glad we are goi g to leave
#NoThatKind, you mentioned Albertans must be the source of the nasty comments. Maybe but to be safe the Rest of Canada should kick Alberta out of Confederation!
This comment space contains comments from the rudest, nastiest Canadians, mostly from Alberta.
@immigrant. Why not? Canada was stolen from Indians and now a different group of Indians is gonna take over. LOL
Go Carney Go! 🇨🇦🙏🏻🇺🇸
I was a Conservative but now am a card holding Liberal.
Carney wants EU back rub, while Trump gets another deal done and now has Greenland like he said he would. 51st the Trumpet will sound in the North.

Carney makes life better everyday in Canada . Absolute genius ! Life just keeps getting cheaper and Canada debt is dropping by the minute . I love Muslims too.
Carney would be wise to not toot his horn while continuing his diversification to alternative markets.
Welcome to Canada home to the greatest number of two-legged sheep in the entire world.
Look at this clown in the thumbnail
I am done with this weakling and his fluffy words.
He has not accompmished a single tangible thing. Not one.
The whole orange administration is a miscalculation!
David Best, you do realize that there are several people using the Anonymous handle?? You come here several times a day picking fights with multiple strangers and making insults over perceived issues and a vendetta that only you see. Delusional much?
Carney is a miscalculation.
Unjustified tariffs??? Here is what Canada was tarrifing the USA before the trade war:
Butter and milk fats: about 298.5% (and not less than roughly $4.00/kg)
Ice cream: about 277%
Cheese (most types): about 245.5% (and not less than roughly $4.52/kg)
Fluid milk / cream: commonly cited around 241%
Yogurt: about 237.5%
Chicken and chicken products: typically in the 238–249% range (some sources cite up to ~289%)
Whey / powdered whey: about 208%
Skim-milk / nonfat dry milk powder: about 201.5%
Eggs and egg products: typically 150–164%
Turkey and turkey products: typically 154–165%
Canada has been ripping off the USA for decades.
Who believes anything this A hole says
Canadians are a bunch of fools. They’ll reap what they’re sowing.
This is looking more and more like Carney set the U.S. up so he could legitimize closer ties with his EU pals. Canadians have already fallen for it because of their blind hatred of Trump.
This constant political theater is getting old as is the constant spin from the media. If you look at some of the international news sources it seems his EU Associate Member scheme unravelled immediately, now its just digital and defence and everyone backed away.
I realize I am the village idiot,I stopped at a stop sign and waited for it to say go,I thought a power nap required a plug in, I put a postage stamp on an email,I got locked inside a mattress store and slept on the floor , I tried to climb over a glass wall to see what was behind it, yeah pretty sure I am the village idiot.
I call everyone I know the village idiot, my mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, I think my mom dropped me on my head, as you all can see I’m not all there. Maybe I’m the village idiot but don’t realize it, am I, you tell me.
The only miscalculation is Carney’s willingness to continue to aggravate Trump with his snide remarks when making meaningless speeches.
Anonymous the village idiot….if people in global conducted a poll who the biggest dimwit making stupid daily comments was, you would be at the top….congratulation Numpty !
I see that no one on here has heard of the poll conducted in the EU asking people if they would like to leave the EU and 70% said yes. No wonder Canada is being welcomed with open arms because they see more money and a step closer to the one world order with Carney leading the charge.
@Gord L the title is associate member which means we will be a member of the EU otherwise the title would be associate trade partner. Carney loves to play games with words. If Canadians are not careful we will be conned into joining the EU and Brussels will be in charge telling us what we can and cannot do.
Anonymous the village idiot….thanks for taking a breather and letting the smart people add on comments…without you budding in.
Carney is a corrupt liar that is in Canada to enrich himself. Why can’t the Elbozos see the obvious?
Elbows Up Canadians, don’t like that Careny is now bootlicking the EU?
Big tough guy Carney has delivered nothing to Canadians now in 18 months. All he has is excuses.
When is Carney and the premiers going to grow gonads and tariff potash, hydro, wheat.. the things that really matters?
Carney failed to get a deal done with the USA. He is totally hopeless.

Carney talking tough but no bite. Little puppy that can’t do anything but go pee in a corner.
Dealing with the US the way it is right now is unacceptable. It has been said that Trump’s legacy will be noted for the three Cs, chaos, cruelty and corruption none of which Canada needs to take part in.
10’s of thousands will loose their jobs and Carney supporters think this is fine?????
Ray. Polls aren’t meaningless and are generally accurate. We have CETA, even if it is only provisionally applied at this point. The proposed cooperation would go beyond CETA to new areas and this level of cooperation is broadly supported by Canadians.
Gord L
Right
Polls are meaningless, we already cooperate with EU NATO Ukraine visa free travel just to name few benefits that are there.
If you think that we are getting free access to there dairy or meat or farm products that’s not going to happen anytime soon
Carney and this Liberal government can afford to push this patriotism button because they don’t have to worry about food prices or the economy because they can afford it with the money they are making as MPs and the pension they will get when they leave.
wheres the story avbout the new euro burocracy(eu associate membership) and the us outfit (jpmorgan)buying our airports? is global a news outfit or not we find the only reliable news comes from the us.

Anonymous the village idiot…be quiet the adults are speaking.
Ray. Check the polls. About 80% want to cooperate with the EU, not join. There is a difference.
I see MAGA traitors are taking a break from building Trump monuments to comment. Loosers
And where was that survey taken that 80% Canadians want join EU
Or is it just a another lie
Liberal voters miscalculated Carney
Talk talk talk here and there Europe and Asia but can’t make trade deal with Americans.
Mitch Dekker. We aren’t joining the EU, so there will be no loss of sovereignty, no oversight by Brussels, and no requirement to transfer money. The Associate Membership describes a proposal to work more closely with the EU on a number of discrete issues. No reason to get all upset. BTW, the polls generally show that about 50% of Canadians would join the EU and closer to 80% favour closer cooperation.
Carney says “Trust me” . Yet he lied about the Gordie Howe bridge deal and why he walked away from the negotiating table in the first place with the USA
As usual we get zero facts from Carney.
No Canadians absolutely dont support EU membership – why dont you try putting it to a commons vote at least before making such an outlandish statement

@Anonymous 1204 pm. You are correct, specifically, as a percentage of European imports, Canada is at about 1.5%. The figure of more import, if you will, is the percentage of Canada’s exports to the EU, which is over 8%. The EU is an important market to us, and we can grow it further and thereby diversify our trade.
USA vs EU as a trading partner, no way you spin this you know its a fact.
75% > 8% (if that number is even true).
Mark Carney feels so good inside me. He is amazing.
Commenter below is one brain dead POS, cancer on MY country

@Ben Even if it is true that we export 8% of our trade (which I don’t believe) think about that for a moment. We trade over 75% with the USA and a measly 8% with the EU ….. Even if we increased that to 10% ( which is unlikely) it will NEVER sustain our economy and we will die as a country economically. Like it or not the facts are the facts and NO other entity can replace the US as our most needed trading partner. When are Canadians going to wake up to that fact.
Just the liberal caucus not the Canadian public, what a joke this guy is.
Elbows up!
Yet another Liberal retreat at taxpayers expense. Only the best hotels, caviar and champagne as millions of struggling Canadians use food banks and live homeless or miss meals so they can pay the rent or mortgage. It is disgusting how the Carney elites are so out of touch with reality in Canada under their incompetent mismanagement of our economy. But hey, let’s go join the biggest losers in the world, the EU and let them suck our resources dry and impose their laws on Canadians and destroy our freedoms, especially our speech while they are at it. Carney the wannabe king says we must suffer so suffer we will under the Liberals.
Here’s his speech, Ramana donkey, hi there hi there, guffaw, rickshaw Zamboni, floppy Willy Nilly doda day, clapping starts, then he goes around blowing everyone
Carney now bootlicking the EU as he failed to get a trade deal done the the Americans.
I drink your milkshake
“I flew to the EU and I didn’t even get a lousy T-shirt.” – Mark Carney
“Canada accounts for roughly 1.5% to 1.7% of the European Union’s total non-EU (extra-EU) goods imports.”
There goes Ben’s argument of 8%, of course he thought people don’t have the internet and can’t look up the actual figure so the original poster was absolutely correct. USA = 70% / EU = 1%

Keep those Elbows up Benny.
USA 75% > EU 8% (if that figure is even true).
@Anonymous 1124 am. Please stop with the misinformation. We export over 8%, NOT 1% of our goods (as you stated) to the EU. Increasing the 8% helps us to diversify our trade. Not sure where you get your figures from. For the record, I won’t respond to anyone calling me “Benny.” It’s a childish attempt to bully and doesn’t deserve a response.
Let’s simply call out Carney for his continued lies about joining the EU.
He denied the WSJ report that he was pursuing associate membership.
Then the EU leader announced Canada would become first associate member.
Now Carney claims it was her idea yet he has been actively pursuing membership for the last 18 months.
Canadians need to pin this guy down and brush aside the glorious headlines about all the promise of new riches.
Time to stop the careful lying and be straight with Cdn people.

We need to diversify our economy away from the USA, and reduce our dependence on them. Also we can liase with the Europeans on technology, so we aren’t as reliant on big tech firms. So this move by Carney is beneficial to Canada and has the advantage of sending the US a message.
Here’s ol Benny not living in reality again.
USA = 70%
EU = 1%
Lets see who would be better to do business with. My guess would be the US of A.
Give your head a shake, keep those elbows up high bud.!

@Dave Best don’t you have anything else to say except insults. Everyone has the right to an opinion last time I looked Canada was a democracy
I wonder which high class this meeting will be held at the taxpayers expense
Why dont you join Mercosur or ASEAN? Oh right. Canada is a country of white trash inbreds
Time to start bootlicking the EU. Clownada is a perennial puppet state
Anonymous the village idot….your comments clearly show who you are, even when you try to hide behind other names…be proud of your handle anonymous… your a nobody, and a simpleton….
@Ben. Benny concentrate on your transition and you’re husband.
I don’t want to beholden to Washington but I also don’t want to be beholden to Brussels. More red tape is the last thing this country needs.
Carney is not making the right decisions for Canada. Maybe his extended leave from here has left him out of touch with what most Canadians want?

Who cares this will cost Canadians dearly. Monetarily and otherwise. Wait.
Carney struck out getting a trade deal with Trump so he breaks out the kneepads with the EU to save face
They arent very happy with him at the moment
He seems to have gone rogue as far as some of his announcements arw concerned
Carneys priorities are clearly not with Canadians or Canada. Wake up!!!
