For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.
Carney on the US: We cannot accept what they’ve offered, and we will not give what they’ve asked.

The war will be won. There are simply too many people who have been turned onto bikes.
