Mark Carney Unveils Plan to Trump-Proof Canada

April 20, 2025 at 7:34 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Liberal Leader Mark Carney released his election platform on Saturday, touting an emphasis on new military spending and bolstering Canada against Donald Trump’s expansionist vision,” Politico reports.

Said Carney: “In this crisis we have to prepare for America’s threats to our very sovereignty. They want our land, our resources, they want our water, they want our country.”

He added: “President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us, and that will never happen. Canada is not America, and it never will be, but we need to do more to just recognize that. We need a plan to deal with this new reality.”
