Mark Carney, Canada's newly elected prime minister, has taken a firm stance against US President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs, describing them as "unjustified." In a bold speech following his victory as leader of the Liberal Party, Carney emphasized Canada's resolve to emerge victorious from this trade dispute, likening it to the nation's prowess in hockey.

Carney criticized Trump's suggestion that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States, adamantly defending Canada's distinct identity. He stated that Canada never asked for this economic conflict but is prepared to stand its ground to protect its economy, workers, and cultural values from American encroachment.

In response to the tariffs, Carney assured that the Canadian government would implement retaliatory measures, aiming them to maximally impact the US. He stressed that Canadians would unite to safeguard their resources and way of life while maintaining their cultural diversity, withstanding any pressure to alter their unique identity for trade benefits.
