Host / other voice“Mark Carney, who's the current prime minister, who is formerly the head of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He's a smart guy. And he said the way to get around us is to create an alternative for Canada.”
Host / other voice“They've now got a railway that goes across Canada from Pacific to Atlantic so they can ship either direction. And they're going to put in oil pipelines as well, going from Alberta to the west coast to ship oil to China and Japan and Korea and so on.”
Host / other voice“In my investment career, I've seen what happens when it's... Technocrat tries to pivot and become a politician. It never really works out well. So I would just encourage Prime Minister Carney to do what he thinks is best for the Canadian people, not his own virtue signaling.”
Host / other voice“It's going to take time, and I know there's political difficulties as well, to get additional pipeline capacity built to the coasts in Canada so you can export, you know, oil and gas to Asia and other markets.”
Host / other voice“The video of the prime minister is just another illusion. We need to cut taxes, deficits, and liberals' anti-development laws to be masters in our own house and have real negotiating leverage on the international stage.”
Host / other voice“Canada's prime minister is in China today. China is Canada's second biggest trading partner after the U.S. So Mark Carney visits Beijing hoping to strengthen relations giving ongoing trade pressure from the United States.”
Host / other voice“Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters today that his government is ready to resume trade talks when the U.S. is ready and that his government would pick up where they had left off before President Trump ended negotiations yesterday.”
Host / other voice“I do, and I will also underscore that it remains early days. The government has been in power for a little less than a year now with a full mandate. There have been some changes that are positive.”
Host / other voice“Trump now says, quote, because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts and hostile act, I am increasing the tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now.”
Host / other voice“He says the world is more dangerous and divided, and the U.S. fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression.”
Host / other voice“it's a much different relationship and a much different feeling when Mark Carney, the prime minister of Canada, is in the Oval Office versus his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.”
Host / other voice“I expect that Mr. Carney will come here primarily wanting to talk trade, primarily wanting to open up Chinese markets for Canadian energy, Canadian agricultural goods.”
