Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared victory in the country’s pivotal federal election Tuesday — and vowed never to let the US “break us” in a blistering warning to President Trump.
“As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country,” Carney said in a victory speech to supporters in Ottawa.
“These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never… ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed.”
The lefty leader stressed the importance of Canadian unity in the face of Washington’s threats, insisting that the mutually beneficial system Canada and the US had shared since World War II was now battered.
“Our old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over,” Carney argued.
“The system of open global trade anchored by the United States, a system that Canada has relied on since the Second World War, a system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for our country for decades, is over.”
