Carney Promises Canada-Wide Free Trade by Canada Day
Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada’s premiers agreed to create a national trade strategy aiming for nationwide free trade by Canada Day, focusing on easing restrictions across transportation, energy, critical minerals, and digital connectivity. This strategy, coupled with new measures such as a streamlined project approval process and temporary EI changes, aims to bolster Canada’s economy amidst a trade war with the U.S. The plan also includes significant investments in carbon capture and storage and removing interprovincial trade barriers to increase the Canadian economy by $250 billion. The initiative follows recent U.S. tariffs and Trump’s comments regarding Canadian sovereignty.
