Poilievre tells Carney to deliver the trade deal he promised
Pierre Poilievre says Canada should not accept a deal that puts Canadian businesses at a competitive disadvantage.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to deliver the “good deal” he promised as Canada and the United States continue negotiations.
Poilievre said Carney promised during the election that he would be “elbows up,” negotiate a win and not accept a bad deal.
“Mr. Carney, keep your promise. Fight for Canada. Don’t take a bad deal,” Poilievre said. “We expect a good deal, like you promised.”
Poilievre said that before, Canada had no tariffs, and “we expect that he would at least match that.”
Poilievre also raised concerns about the possibility of one-sided tariffs that could leave Canadian steel, aluminum, lumber and automobile companies competing against tariff-free American businesses.
He warned that such an arrangement could lead to Canadian jobs moving south of the border and said, “We cannot accept the deindustrialization of our economy.”
The Conservative leader said his party has proposed using Canada’s natural resources through a strategic oil and minerals reserve as leverage.
“We need to fight for the good deal Mr. Carney promised,” Poilievre said.

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2026-08-23 22:49:27 -0400LB: facts are irrelevant in this matter. The sole purpose of all this horsing around was to be exercise in propaganda. Maple Leaf Pravda will portray it as the greatest victory against America since Queenston Heights and the proles will be expected to openly celebrate it as “VT Day”. The upcoming “buy”-elections will all result in wins for the Trudeauists.
But, once President AOC takes office in 2029 (and don’t think I’m joking with that—she’ll win against Vance in a Bideneque fashion), the talks will be re-opened and Carney, et. al., will finally get what they wanted all along. -

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2026-08-23 21:55:01 -0400I have to wonder whether Carney, et. al., were truly serious about reaching an agreement. The outcome we have now means that he might now say, “Well, I tried…..” and use “bad orange man” as an excuse for what he does next. It’s as if he was looking for an excuse to scuttle the proceedings.

of AI… it’s not cut and dried. Tax payers here… pay for the marketing boards on dairy .. poultry and eggs.. and we are charged more for our support. The US is allowed to import 3.5 percent of these products…then the rest is charged 200-298 percent… then there’s the fly in the ointment as it were… Canada considers a product theirs using the last country of origin concept… thus legalizing the shipment of Chinese sourced goods into the US… big contention with the US who only considers a product theirs if it’s made mostly in the country…. And credit where credit is due… they’re trying to bring manufacturing back into the US. I remember road trips throughout the US during Obama.. stores empty… small towns dying… folks hitchhiking with their dogs.. and a gas can… desperate for help.
Thanks for listening… always… Lou
