VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video address released Sunday that Canada’s strong economic ties to the United States were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected.

In the 10-minute address, Carney spoke about his government’s efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy by attracting new investments and signing trade deals with other countries.

“The world is more dangerous and divided,” Carney said. “The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression.

“Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become weaknesses. Weaknesses that we must correct.”

    Dude…your China Hate volvo socialism is tiring.

    You would rather we send farms to default and throw thousands out of work while we find the perfect trading partner that does not exist.

    You have to be a complete idiot to think you can trust any country in international trade.

    Also, “And this is why he is bowing to China? Are the China ties strength?” is a bot or macro, either way, fuck right off and stay on Facebook.
