  • Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday said Canada could offset the effects of any U.S. tariffs by removing internal trade barriers and that he aimed for free trade within the country by July 1, after meeting provincial and territorial leaders.

The article from MSN discusses comments made by Mark Carney, the former Governor of the Bank of Canada, regarding Canada's strategy to mitigate potential economic impacts from U.S. tariffs. Carney suggests that Canada should focus on achieving free internal trade among its provinces and territories. He argues that by removing interprovincial trade barriers, Canada could enhance its economic resilience against external trade pressures, such as tariffs from the U.S. This approach would not only strengthen the Canadian economy internally but also make it less vulnerable to international trade disputes. Carney's remarks come in the context of ongoing trade tensions, particularly with the United States, where tariffs could disrupt traditional trade flows. He emphasizes the importance of economic diversification and internal market integration as key strategies for Canada's economic policy moving forward.
