HANNAFORD: Is Carney benefiting from Canada’s trade failure?

<p>Nigel Hannaford speaks with Yaroslav Baran about the breakdown in Canada-U.S. trade talks, Donald Trump’s tariff strategy and whether Mark Carney can still deliver the deal Canadians were promised. Baran explains how Canada is targeting politically sensitive U.S. exports with retaliatory tariffs, why sectors like autos, steel and aluminum remain vulnerable, and why Alberta oil should not be sacrificed for a Team Canada strategy. He also argues Canada needs to diversify its trade, build more pipelines and reduce its dependence on the U.S., while warning that Carney could use the trade fight to justify even more federal borrowing.</p><p><br></p><p>»»» Subscribe to the Western Standard: https://www.westernstandard.news/subscription</p><p><br></p><p>For breaking news, videos, opinion and in-depth coverage: https://www.westernstandard.news/</p><p><br></p><p>Follow the Western Standard on X: https://x.com/WesternStandard</p><p>Follow the Western Standard on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/westernstandardonline/</p><p>Sign up for Western Standard newsletters: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/788568/130204520588249083/share</p><p><br></p><p>Support independent journalism in Western Canada: https://www.westernstandard.news/subscription</p>
