Done!
Classic bait and switch from these bums!
Looks like they're icing a bunch of kids. WE GOT THIS.
Hell of a comeback though!
Carney doesn’t rule out export tax on energy to U.S.
Asked whether the government would consider a retaliatory tax on oil and gas exported to the U.S., Carney said, “We have many options. And we will use them judiciously.”
“It’s a negotiation. You act when you act. You don’t pre-commit.”
Pressed on how Canada will actually respond next week if U.S. tariffs come into effect, the prime minister wouldn’t give details.
“This is a negotiation,” he said, adding that the government will know “a lot more” in a week. “In a negotiation, it doesn’t make sense to tip your hand.”
Noting that the threatened tariffs apply to all countries, not just Canada and Mexico, Carney said, “We have the best deal of a bad deal, is the way I would put it.”
More reciprocal tariffs are coming on April 2, including tariffs on sectors like forestry, lumber, pharmaceuticals and semi-conductors.
“We have a number of measures that we can take in response to those initiatives.”
Carney is asked when a phone call with Trump will happen. He says he and the president will speak "in the next day or two."
Carney says that Trump reached out to him last night to schedule a call. If it takes place, it will be the first between the two heads of state. But Carney didn’t say when the call would happen.
Carney addressed Canadians, saying, “We won’t back down. We will respond forcefully. Nothing is off the table to defend our workers and our country.”
“I don’t want to set unreasonable expectations,” he added, saying there’s no silver bullet or quick fix, and that Canadians are understandably anxious.
“I have every confidence in our country because I understand what President Trump does not: that we love Canada with every fibre of our being.”
