I’ll believe it when I see it - Carney doesn’t seem to actually have done anything so far.
He signed a big trade and defense pact with indonesia and a bilateral trade agreement with mexico, partially cutting the us out of north american trade. he’s only been pm for, like, 8 months.
Did you actually read the agreement? It leaves Canada in $600M trade deficit. Media loves to skip the details.
Sure, just announce we are doubling exports. Anyone else noticing how Carney says stuff without any real detail on how he plans to do it? The CDN government has thousands of people for decades trying to increase exports abroad. We have little manufacturing left to export, so we’re turned into a mining based economy.
I’m pretty tired of politicians selling old ideas as new. We need some innovation.

And we had new trade agreements with Europe under Biden.
There is nothing really new here.
The Indonesia agreement is great for Indonesia, but puts Canada in $600M trade deficits.
Both deals are a few percent of US trade.
