Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has emphasized that US exports are still experiencing the repercussions of the ongoing boycott of American products, associated with President Donald Trump’s trade policies and verbal criticisms.
During his address at the Liberal Party convention, Carney referenced Trump's tariffs and the increasing skepticism regarding Canada’s relationship with Washington.
He commended the “small individual acts of solidarity” demonstrated by Canadians, including choosing domestic travel and refraining from purchasing US alcoholic beverages.
Carney stated, “The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over,” and added that Canadians “are rediscovering our country."
He also highlighted the rising trade tensions with Washington, particularly the tariffs implemented during the Trump presidency, and stressed the government’s "Buy Canadian" initiative to fortify communities and lessen dependence on foreign markets.
