Carney outlines new U.S.-Canada relationship plan

The world is imploding. Technological change, especially in the United States, is accelerating at a rate we have never seen in our lifetime. America is transforming all her commercial relationships, as well as her own rights. The world is becoming increasingly divided and dangerous. And our response reflects the key lessons we have learned from these structural changes. That means we need to take care of ourselves and be true to ourselves. This means weaving a dense network of international partnerships abroad that will make us a much stronger, more resilient and more independent nation. The energy Canada exports to the United States is equivalent to 10 Hoover Dams. With America’s energy needs growing due to incredible changes here, does it really make sense to build the gigawatts needed to replace Canada here? In the automotive world, Canada is by far the United States’ largest customer, and a unified North American production market is the best and most durable way to compete against fierce, truly fierce global competition. Let’s be clear. A strong Canada will help make America great again.
