Mark Carney, a leading Canadian politician and former central banker, has issued a stern warning as Canada’s federal election campaign gets underway. Carney asserts that the policy dangers and rhetoric of Donald Trump amount to a direct threat to Canada’s economy and sovereignty.
The comment has fueled an already hot election, with US-Canada relations emerging as a central theme. Trump’s previous threats of a tariff and trade war on Canada are being resurrected, inciting voters to debate national security and economic sovereignty.
With campaigning now on, candidates of all parties are responding to concerns regarding cross-border tensions and where Canada should stand in a possible second Trump administration.
