Loading ...Carney’s colossal Canada-US pact
It would give America a first right of refusal on Canadian minerals

Canada has been the crucible for Donald Trump’s rambunctious trade and foreign policy; America’s president had his northern neighbour in his sights before he was even inaugurated. As world leaders flock to Alberta on June 15th for the G7 summit, Canada is on the verge of cementing its place in the vanguard of Trumpian geopolitics. It may soon become the first country to emerge from the bewildering thicket of tariffs and threats with a sweeping new pact on security and trade.
Caprice has been Mr Trump’s calling card, so no one is declaring a done deal. But its outlines have already been negotiated. Mr Trump will lift the tariffs on Canada’s exports in exchange for guaranteed access to the country’s critical minerals. During his election campaign Mark Carney, Canada’s prime minister, told Canadians that Mr Trump wanted to “break us, so that America can own us”. If the deal goes through, he may find it hard to explain why he has made such a monumental deal with the breaker-in-chief.
At Mr Trump’s Oval Office press conference Mr Carney declared that “having met with the owners of Canada during the course of the campaign, it’s not for sale.” But in private discussions across the hall in the Roosevelt Room the contours of “Fortress Can-Am” were already being hammered out.
A pact that guarantees decades of American business would probably push firms currently sitting on the sidelines with stacks of cash to invest in one of this century’s mining booms. But these megaprojects run through indigenous lands. Canada has a constitutional duty to consult its First Nations before proceeding with resource development. Many indigenous leaders remain wary.
Isnt this the deal that Ukraine signed with USA?? First right of refusal on Natural Resources………
ACTUALLY …WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS ?
IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT DEAL FOR BOTH COUNTRIES
CARNEY IS NOT GIVNG THE MINERALS AWAY…HE IS GIVING THE USA FIRST CHOICE ON BUYING THEM
HE IS ALSO MAKING A DEFENSE PACK
THIS SOUNDS GREAT
IF POILIEVRE WERE PM AND DID THIS WE WOULD BE CROWING ABOUT IT
THE FEAR WAS CANADA WOULD ALIGN MORE WITH EUROPE AND CHINA
LOOKS LIKE CARNEY AND TRUMP ARE GETTING ALONG FAMOUSLY
THIS IS AS IT SHOULD BE IMO
SOUNDS LIKE A WIN- WIN
GOTTA ADMIT ITS A SURPRISE TO SEE THESE DEAL HAPPENING
I agree Fully, I would prefer American investment over others. I was concerned that the Carney liberals would allow China to infiltrate our country more.
Trump may encourage (demand) we distance ourselves from Chinese and Mexican Cartels. That would be a great thing.
Of course Carney is doing an about face and the Left elected him on false pretences. His base will conveniently forget whose platform it was.
Get rid of the creeping Marxism, Censorship and Net-Zero and he may be taking PP’s playbook.
The destruction of the Canadian Dollar is baked in the cake no matter who won this round. Got Gold?
To take it a step further, as you implied Columbia, Carney being the politician that he is, ran towards the left to get elected and might now govern (at least as far as dealing with issues pertaining to deals with the US) more towards the center. Make no mistake, he is still a progressive, Euro centric, WEFer but he might end up being a touch better than Trudope.
