I’m pretty sure that was just your own interpretation. Carney’s priority is to build a cordial relationship with Trump in advance of the CUSMA trade negotiations coming up next year, and for many other reasons to promote productive Canada-US relations over the next four challenging years. That’s who Carney is, and that’s why we elected him.
