The Canadian Prime Minister says removing trade barriers with other countries is far more beneficial than he hopes Trump’s tariffs will become
TORONTO (AP) – Prime Minister Mark Carney said elimination of trade barriers within Canada on Thursday would benefit Canadians far more than they could rob his trade war as U.S. President Donald Trump made his claim to stay in power in the last debate ahead of the April 28 vote.
By July 1, Carney had set free trade targets within the country’s 10 states and three territories. Canada has long had local trade barriers.
“We can give ourselves more than Donald Trump can take,” Carney said. “We can have one economy. This is within our grasp.”
Carney said Canada’s relationship with the US over the past 40 years has fundamentally changed due to Trump’s tariffs. If re-elected Carney plans to quickly enter the trade zone with the Trump administration.
“We are facing the biggest crisis of our life. Donald Trump is trying to fundamentally change the global economy, the trading system, but he is trying to destroy us so that we can own us. “I am ready and have managed the crisis for many years… We fight back with the opposition and protect our workers.”

Pierre Poilierble, the leader of the opposition Conservative Party, is pleading Canadians not to give the Liberal Party a fourth term. He wanted the election to be a referendum.Justin Trudeauits popularity fell towards the end of his decade as food and housing prices rose and immigration spiked.

“Maybe it’s hard, Mr. Polyavel, you spent years running against Justin Trudeau and the carbon tax, and they’re both gone,” Carney said. “I’m a very different person than Justin Trudeau.”
Public opinion has changed. In a mid-January poll by Nanos, the Liberals took over the Conservatives by 47% to 20%. The latest Nanos Poll released Thursday saw the liberals earn 5% points. In the January poll, the latest poll had a margin of 2.7 points, but the error was 3.1 points.
“We can’t afford the fourth liberal term of rising housing costs,” Poilliebre said.
Poilierble accused Carney liberals of being hostile to the Canadian energy sector and pipeline. He accused liberals of weakening the economy, vowing that conservative governments would abolish “anti-energy laws, deficits and high taxes.”
“We need change. You, you, and Sir are not change,” Polyebre said in one exchange.
